This exciting new release brings with it a surprising new overhaul of the Codename One GUI builder which now includes support to “auto-layout” allowing developers to place components with the ease/power of Photoshop or Illustrator.. Codename One is the only platform that… Has Write Once Run Anywhere with no special hardware requirement..

On the eve of the release of Codename One 3.7 we are excited to announce the new Codename One Academy which will change the way people learn Codename One. We’ve invested a lot of effort in creating a smooth learning experience and we’re launching with 3 live courses. This wouldn’t have been possible without all the help from community members who provided guidelines, feedback and assistance. It wouldn’t have been possible without the me..

Even though Gabe and I sometimes have slightly differing views on the iPad’s productivity value compared to the Mac, with his latest post , I think we are completely in sync—metaphorical Chris Farley falls and all. In particular, he nails a massive friction point for me with the iPad: I can type more comfortably on my iPhone than I can with my iPad Pro on the couch, in bed, or even just reclined in the backyard. I’m sure there’s a go....

Countless Ted talks, studies, and of course Sheryl Sandberg tell us we’ll be happier and more productive when we 'bring our whole selves to work'.

As a fun side project to distract me from my abysmal progress on my book, I decided to play around with the math genealogy graph! For those who don’t know, since 1996, mathematicians, starting with the labor of Harry Coonce et al, have been managing a database of all mathematicians. More specifically, they’ve been keeping track of who everyone’s thesis advisors and subsequent students were. The result is a directed graph (with a current est..

Disclaimer: I don’t advocate using Vim seriously as your primary development environment. As powerful as it is, Vim remains a text editor, not an IDE . I ran into some Xcode problems the other day where I lost syntax highlighting and code completion in Swift files. What should we do when Xcode just doesn’t work? I joked that at this point, it might be easier to just use Vim for my Swift development. Well… ....

You know that feeling before going on stage to talk or perform. It’s a knot in your stomach but also an exhilarating sense of excitement about what’s to come… I’ve got that fidgety feeling of “can’t wait to get it out” and yet I feel there is so much more to do. Thanks for all the comments, questions, suggestions & votes for the last couple of posts . Those always help tremendously! One of our bootcamp participants mentioned the lengt..

Tim Cook’s entire commencement address to the MIT class of 2017 is an instant classic, but this is the part I want to echo forever: Technology is capable of doing great things. But it doesn’t want to do great things. It doesn’t want anything. That part takes all of us. It takes our values and our commitment to our families and our neighbors and our communities. Our love of beauty and belief that all of our faiths are interconnected. O..

I found the tensorflow documentation rather lacking for installation instructions, especially in regards to getting GPU support. I’m going to write down my notes from wrangling with the installation here for future reference and hopefully this helps someone else too. This will invariably go out-of-date at some point, so be mindful of the publish date of this post. Make sure to cross-reference other documentation that has more up-to-dat....

Once upon a time, we had a single monolith of software, one mothership running everything. At SoundCloud, the proliferation of microservices came from moving functionality out of the mothership. There are plenty of benefits to splitting up features in this way. We want the same benefits for our data as well, by defining ownership of datasets and ensuring that the right teams own the right datasets.

PCs lead us indoors. Smartphones lead us into isolation. The Apple Watch is—sort-of—leading us back out into the real world again by encouraging movement, keeping phones in pockets, and most importantly, looking up again . I’ve owned an Apple Watch since the Series 0 started shipped 26 months ago. I can’t imagine ever not owning one again. Actually I can, but only when some higher form of “wearable” supersedes the form of a wrist watch....

Digital security and data privacy best practices are essential for organizations of all sizes and kinds. Plenty has been written about threats, DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks, legal battles, ransomware, and executive orders that impact this landscape. I’m interested in how we put threat awareness into practical and collaborative action, and how to recruit coworkers, bosses, employees and family to work with you on reducing thr..

Thanks for all the great feedback on my last post , I got some wonderful app suggestions from some of you and some interesting questions. Overall, there were more than 100 comments and emails so I apologize if I took too long to answer some of you. I already mentioned the focus of these coming courses is to let you create apps in a more practical form: “cook book” style. But while I talked a bit about the narrative and the course I didn’..

Last week I participated in two hackathons, events where a group of strangers would form a team for two or three days and build a product prototype. In the end all teams pitch their prototypes, and the best ones would be given some prizes. Hackathons are typically organized to get feedback from developers on some new API or platform. Sometimes they’re also organized as a recruitment opportunity. Apart from the free beer and camaraderie,....

I always imagined death to be a very uniquely individual experience. I always imagined how I would cope with the death of a loved one, how I would deal with my grief, how I would find peace and regain normalcy. Although it seems obvious now, in all those hypotheticals, I never accounted for all the others going through the same thing. Like a black hole in the space-time continuum, death has a ripply, sucky effect, affecting everyt..

3.7 is almost here… Later today we will enter the week long code freeze where only critical issues are fixed. We’ll publish the plugin release candidate for 3.7 soon and it will include some interesting new things that I haven’t discussed at all! I’m too busy with the new courses but I hope I’ll be able to go into details with the release announcement. The birthday of 3.7 will be on Tuesday June 27th… Up to then all new commits to git..

When I first created this site I wanted to get it live as quickly as possible. Hexo , a blogging framework written in Node.js, seemed like the perfect tool. At the time I was rather interested in Node.js, so it seemed natural to use a framework rooted in that community. By the time of my last post I'd become increasingly disinterested in Node.js and much more interested in Rust and its community. It was mostly procrastination, but I conv..
