searchcode updates now supports regex code search Similar to the soon to be defunt Google Code Search you can now search over 1 billion lines of code from github, bitbucket, sourceforge, google code and codeplex on searchcode. All you need do it search using a regex such as /[cb]at/ or /a{1,5}/ etc… You can filter by file extension as well using ext:[FILETYPE] EG, [/print_r/ ext:php][3] The only catch is due to constraints you can onl..

The worst possible news for RIM right now is a delay in bringing some sort of modern product to market. In other words, delaying their QNX “killer” smartphone. But that is exactly what they announced last night - QNX phones won’t be ready until the end of 2012. The problem is that they are already behind their competitors with little chance at turning the company around and maintaining a big presence in the smartphone market. This dela..

It is quite easy to run CoffeeScript applications on Azure now that they support Node.js. You can mostly follow the steps of their Node.js and Express tutorial , with couple of modifications. Add a package.json into your application root and depend on CoffeeScript and Express: { "name": "myapp", "version": "0.0.1", "dependencies": { "coffee-script": "*", "express": "*" } } Then just have NPM install CoffeeScript by runni....

I’ve seen this quite a few times, and I feel it’s worth mentioning, as it perhaps isn’t obvious. The plural of the word child is children and not childs . See: org.apache.wicket.MarkupContainer (add method)

Automation isn’t about quality, it’s about scale. Manual processes don’t scale. Each part of your process that you automate gets you one step closer to continuous deployment. For many teams, automation is a Quadrant 4 activity - not urgent, not important - but on my teams it is a Quadrant 2 activity - important but not urgent. We allocate time each iteration to improve our automation because it frees up more time for development.

Under normal circumstances, the human eye should blink about once every 5 seconds. When you stare at an LCD screen all day long, the blink interval gets larger. As a result, your eyes become dry and sore. This is further worsened by coffee. Drinking lots of water and using over-the-counter drops will help. This is what my eye doctor told me yesterday.

I would advise anyone thinking of an .xxx domain to reconsider. Although you can register the rather pricey domain (~$95 a year) The ICM Registry are in full control of whether or not the domain resolves. According to their website you need to register as part of their ' sponsored community '. 'Fair enough' you say, 'where do I sign up'? Well you can't. At least not until the ICM send you an email with a valid link to a sign-up form. What..

I've been dealing with some unfortunate scroll performance issues at work lately, and to aid me in that task I've been using a handy CSS stress test bookmarklet made by Andy Edinborough. It works by iterating through all your classes and measuring the performance improvement you get from dropping them - thus helping you find out which classes are making your page scroll speed slow. It's handy but the use case too constrained for my needs. I..

I set out to add scripting support to Project Lemma the other day. End result: I can recompile C# scripts on the fly and cache the bytecode in DLLs. The best part: there's no special binding code, and no performance hit. There are a lot of .NET scripting solutions out there. Here's a few I found in my research: IronPython . Fully dynamic, kinda slow. Requires marshalling of some kind between the script world and .NET. CSScr..

Felix Geisendörfer, one of the node.js contributers has released what can only be dubbed as the ultimate guide to writing node.js applications. He's launched a site called nodeguide.com which has a beginner's guide, a guide for how to convince your boss you should be using node (kind of funny, but sadly there are people who need this) and a style guide for standardization of indentation, naming, etc which should be taken with a grain of sal..

That may seem like a bold statement. And it is. However, Apple said the same thing about the floppy in 1997 when they introduced the iMac without it, and it slowly disappeared afterwards. ZDnet said the same thing about optical media (CDs/DVDs) in 2009 when USB flash drives reached critical mass - and of course optical media is slowly disappearing as we speak (the DVD drive in my Alienware laptop died shortly after I got it, but I never cal..

Git è di gran lunga la tecnologia più significativa che il mio team ha introdotto negli ultimi tempi. Grazie a Git la nostra produttività è migliorata a tal punto che davvero non passa giorno senza che mi chieda come abbiamo potuto farne a meno così a lungo. Git è un sistema di controllo versione ideato da Linus Torvald (quello di Linux). E’ gratuito, multi-piattaforma, distribuito e soprattutto talmente veloce che sembra aggiungere un pi....

I had an interesting thought about programming languages and complexity yesterday. I think of languages like Python and CoffeeScript (and even C 1 aim to be small and consistent as a language. Things like Perl and Ruby are much more complex. I have been studying both Ruby and CoffeeScript for a while (I think about a year for Ruby and maybe 6 months for CoffeeScript guessing from unreliable memory), and I feel like my JavaScript/Cof....

A couple of months ago, Facebook started rolling out it's Timeline feature. For those who don't know, it's a new form of a Facebook profile, which displays a user's profile in a very different way, based on their entire life's history. It's a very dramatic thing and is a very impressive endeavor. I signed up the very minute it was announced and have had it as my default profile, though it hasn't been viewable by anybody but me for some time..

This means we must be very careful about not diluting our pool of engineering talent, which is where our hiring proces....

I would just like to preface this by saying I do not condone cheating but I thought of this as a “challenge” and not so much as “cheating”. A project I am working on required me to checkin to places on foursquare that I was not currently near (or even close to). Now the answer to this was pretty simple. Checkin through the API using the lat and long of the venue I was “supposedly” at. Boom. Worked without a flaw. Ok I will admit it I am k....
