So at the start of January I discovered the One Project per Month project, and decided to give it a go. You can follow my progress here and I’ll also try to post here somewhat regularly about my experiences. The first project was an app that does budget tracking . Well, not really budgeting, more like to track what I was spending. I’ve been wondering where all the money went, and this app was made to help me achieve some visibility a....

I’ve been wanting to play around making Android apps for awhile now. Though difficult, I was able to setup things using Maven and IntelliJ. Almost everything was working - I could even build an APK and install it on my phone - but when I tried to run it on my computer via an Android Virtual Device, I needed to download some components via IntelliJ. Unfortunately, I received the following error:

We’re big fans of open-source development at Snyk. It’s why we built Snyk in the first place: so people could safely use open-source dependencies without compromising security in the process. That’s why we’re excited to announce our integration with JFrog’s Xray!

After a late-night conversation with my brother about the Strat-O-Matic baseball game, I wondered if there was a way to generate realistic looking cards using real-world data. I remembered seeing a website by Bruce Bundy, which detailed a series of formulas he derived after years of trial-and-error. I spent a couple of days sifting through […]

Just last week I mentioned that we wanted to get push working on Windows & we’re pretty thrilled to announce that it’s available already… This means that we now support push on pretty much any major device with the exception of the Safari web browser. As part of this change we also decided to change the push keys for the JavaScript push implementation so I suggest waiting for the next update before you push out a new version of your app...

I’ve been spending some time learning deep learning and tensorflow recently, and as part of that project I wanted to be able to train models using GPUs on EC2. This post contains some notes on what it took to get that working. As many people have commented, the environment setup is often the hardest part of getting a deep learning setup going, so hopefully this will be useful reference to someone.

I’ve been hacking in golang since before version 1.4, and the speed at which my builds finished has been mostly trending downwards. Let’s look into the reasons and some fixes.

Here are the three reasons my builds got slower: The compiler Before version 1.5, the compiler was written in C but with that release, it moved to being pure golang . This unfortuna..

Before we go into the tip I’d like to start with an apology to all the people I didn’t get back to. Earlier today I sent an email asking for help with the upcoming Codename One bootcamp. The anticipation and resulting email flood took me totally off-guard as I expected a couple of dozen responses in the best case scenario and got much more… I started answering as fast as I could and getting back to people I already answered in the back a..

So yesterday I pushed some code over to GitHub, then went off to work on a different project. A few seconds later I got an email from AppVeyor telling me that my CI build worker was reporting a failure. I was surprised as just ahead of the push I had tests all green in local. Turned out failure was on an equality assertion between two date values: As you can see the mismatch was precisely two hours. That always rings a Time Zone ..

Infants cry a lot. The noise they emit is high-pitch, and designed to be irritating to adults. It’s irritating because otherwise you would just ignore the poor child.

In these circumstances it pays off and it’s absolutely essential to optimize our applications and the resulting Docker images for size. SIZE DOES MATTER If we’re doing it right we’ll get....

Pioneering Organizational Transformation: Here's What You Need to Know

According to the dictionary, a pioneer is “a person who is among those who first settle or develop an area, and prepares the way for others to follow.” Reflecting on this, I realized that this felt similar to a recent large-scale transformation, one that aimed to move the whole organization from large scale IT projects to one that is truly customer-led. Don’t be fooled; being first doesn’t make it liberating or even easy. Being first means ..

This week’s release adds support for JavaScript push but I’d recommend you don’t use it in production yet… The main issue is that we might change the way JavaScript push keys are generated so it might be better to put this on hold or only experiment with this for now. Regardless it’s a pretty big change to the push server so we have the old version standing by and might revert it if things get hairy.
