Performance is tricky. Especially, if you are working with very fast operations. In today benchmarking exercise, we will try to measure performance of two simple methods which calculate minimum of two numbers. Sounds easy? Ok, let’s do it, here are our guinea pigs for today: int MinTernary ( int x , int y ) => x < y ? x : y ; int MinBitHacks ( int x , int y ) => x & (( x - y ..

What cascade detectors, sensors, and scanners can bring to Bahmni, an open source hospital information system for low-resource environments. Visiting a hospital is rarely a pleasant experience. Aside from the obvious trauma of needing to go to a hospital, there are other inconveniences such as long queues and having to carry physical documents and paper slips from one department to the other.

We’re still working here and will make releases/offer support as usual but we’ll update you on the changes we had in our 2017 posts. We’ll be back t..

One of the fallouts from the new encrypted storage API we added last week is the fact that it encrypts things like preferences making them unusable if you expected them to work before/after encryption was applied. To workaround this we added a new API to the Preferences class: public static void setPreferencesLocation(String storageFileName) public static String getPreferencesLocation() These API’s allow us to determine the storage f..

One of the most painful aspects in any mobile app is input, besides the difficulty of viewing the details on a tiny cramped screen the input via the virtual keyboard is nowhere near the input comfort of a full fledged computer or even a tablet. A great app adapts to the screen size and uses the available space more effectively, we tried to do this in the kitchen sink demo where user input appears like this in portrait:

Habits work. Once I have a positive habit formed, it is a great force in my improving my days. Recently I’ve been developing the habit of exercising. I started by doing a l....

The line of code that the developer can write the fastest, the line of code that the developer can maintain the cheapest, and the line of code that never breaks for the user, is the line of code that the developer never had to write. - Steve Jobs Superfluous code is code that is written unnecessarily. It is code that has all the added complexity of valuable code, but it adds no value of its own. If you were to remove it, the product....

We had to push out an update to the IntelliJ/IDEA plugin to workaround an issue that started happening with their latest IDE update. The 3.5.11 version didn’t change much just fixed those specific issues. Other than that this week’s release includes some new In-App-Purchase features (that we will discuss next week) and the new seamless caching API discussed yesterday. One of the features we didn’t mention this week in the posts is a..

It is no longer sufficient to do sampling for auditing, you have to boil the ocean," according to Joseph Lodato, global head of compliance technology and surveillance at Guggenheim Partners, in his keynote at the RegTech Summit US.

Caching server data locally is a huge part of the advantage a native app has over a web app. Normally this is non-trivial as it requires a delicate balance especially if you want to test the server resource for changes. HTTP provides two ways to do that the ETag and Last-Modified . While both are great they are non-trivial to use and by no definition seamless. We just added an experimental feature to connection request that all..

We take actions based on our unconscious mind, we follow our unspoken norms and taboos. For a little while we may think we are original or creative, but we aren't — at least not following the definition we attributed to the terms. This is not uncommon, everyone thinks that they are innovative. A positive illusion or just the opposite, let's not discuss determinism. The human brain works by re-interpreting and linking concepts. There's no ..

There seems to be a wide consensus that the current (unspecified) drop order in Rust is weird and arbitrary. If you are not yet convinced, you should definitely take a look at a previous post exploring the current rules. While changing the drop order seems attractive, there are many aspects that need to be considered before embarking in such a quest. In this post I would like to expand on the consequences of changing the drop order.

After my previous post, I thought it would be interesting to run some experiments to determine the unspecified drop order within different constructs of Rust. After you read this, I guarantee you will understand why there is so much discussion about changing the current drop order before stabilizing it :) TLDR: the current drop order is really weird! In this post we are going to look at: Local variables Tuples Structs and enums Slices Closu..

When researching snaps, one of the main advantages everyone talks about is the fact that they’re transactionally updated. That is, an upgrade either succeeds or fails, it doesn’t leave the snap in a broken state. If you have snap “A” installed and an update for it is released, it’ll automatically update. If that update is somehow broken, the snap will roll back to the previously-working revision. However, no one has really talked about how ..

We’ve had quite a few interesting features land last week and didn’t get a chance to cover them. First we have access to the OS’s caches directory where you can store files that you don’t really need as cache. Both iOS & Android have such a directory and files stored there might be purged without notice if the OS runs out of space. This is a good place to store files you don’t really need such as images or downloads you just need for ..
