Student loan debt is, uh… a problem in the good ole US of A, to say the least. It has passed credit cards for the number two spot on the list of “biggest things holding American wallets hostage,” behind only mortgages at this point. When millennials wake up in a cold sweat in the dead of night, filled with a deep, overwhelming, and existential sense of dread, it’s probably because student loans are haunting their dreams. Okay, hopefull..

В “Сказке сказок” есть сцены, утопающие в желтом свете, там всё хорошо и спокойно и все дома и что-то потихоньку делают. Воспоминания о детстве, наверное. Нашел эту фотографию августа 2015 и вспомнил. Папа построил веранду, и теперь там солнечно, и можно сидеть и есть персики в свете сказки сказок. Арс с папой и едят.

1. What is NeXT? (pun intended) NeXT was the computer company that Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple) created after he got kicked out of Apple in the 1980s. They made high-end UNIX workstations that were intended to rival Apple computers, and primarily targeted for the higher education and science/engineering markets. However, they were not as successful as their competitors in this market and when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he ..

27th July 2016 at about 9:30pm my local time (GMT +10) I updated the A records for searchcode’s nameservers to point at a new stack that has been several months in the making. As with most posts of this sort of nature a quick recap of where things were and where they are now. The previous searchcode stack consisted of two dedicated servers hosted by Hetzner. I have previously discussed this about two years ago when discussing searchcode ..

What is creativity? How to be more creative? I don’t know. Do you know? I have some ideas about it, based on my observations of creative people and my efforts to write. My hypothesis is that everybody can train and develop their creativity, through regular delivery of good enough art and craft, and ongoing increase in the quality and the frequency. Lets me first talk about what I mean by creativity? For me, it is about making something ....

This is the third installment in the Blockchain for Grown-Ups series. In the first article, we took a critical look at the hype surrounding blockchain. In the second article, we went beyond the hype to look at the real possibilities for blockchain. In this third article, we discuss where the flurry of activity around blockchain is taking us—a blockchain multiverse.

We are deep within the 3.5 code freeze and this adds up to a remarkably busy week, we’ve got an even busier week with the release itself. Because of the code freeze there is no need for a Friday release today so we are skipping it this week. So let’s get right down to the questions from stackoverflow… CodenameOne ImageViewer blocks scroll Scrolling and ImageViewer don’t mix as the scrolling might collide with the panning/swiping.

Dependencies are extremely powerful, but also open up a world of complexity. To successfully secure these packages in your application, you need to consider security as a natural aspect of quality. This means embedding it into your suite of quality tools and practices, making handling security the default.

I wanted to write about the new kitchen sink demo which I’m trying to finish… But I haven’t finished it yet as it’s such a major undertaking. As part of that work I wanted to show some code that downloads themes and didn’t want to use the venerable infinite progress indicator which I generally dislike … Over these past few months I’ve enjoyed the ToastBar tremendously and I think it’s probably far better suited for such a use case th..

Using lambdas with Bluebird.map A situation came up this week where a coworker had stumbled upon some really terse code. They weren't exactly clear on what was going on, so we went through an exercise together of rewriting the code in the most verbose format, then gradually shrinking it one piece at a time to arrive at the very terse but completely equivalent format. Our Task: Put Users into Groups Here's the situation. We need to do a s....

It’s tough to pick up a new toolchain like Codename One. There’s so much to learn… A lot of our developers come from the Android world and even though Codename One is much simpler than Android porting the first app to Codename One is still painful. We wanted to simplify this process since the day we launched Codename One but as we explained before , this isn’t simple and the results would “underwhelm”.

Today we are going into code freeze for Codename One 3.5 which is due one week from now, because of the fast release cycle we don’t need more than a week of code freeze to stabilize our current release. The code freeze applies to the Codename One libraries and ports as those are the parts that are inherent to the release. What Didn’t Make the Release We have many new features and great capabilities that we were able to introduce for 3.5..

When we get a crash report one of our first questions is “when did you build this?”. The answer is often too vague to trace the specific version, so we end up with a mixture of guessing. The main issue is that there are different version values. They conflict with one another. They can be confusing and they can be inaccurate. Starting with the latest update we now have a file in the root of Codename One called cn1-version-numbers and ..

Special relativity, faster-than-light communication, and absolute time and space

Summary: Faster-than-light (FTL) communication is traditionally thought to violate causality according to special relativity. However if there is an absolute space and time (absolute reference frame), causality violation is avoided. Instead observers can detect and measure their speed relative to the absolute reference frame. The standard story Faster-than-light (FTL) communication is thought by some to allow signalling back in time, th....

I have found the right setup to stream in 1080p from a Raspberry Pi using the camera to TwitchTV while injecting audio on the fly! Create an account on Twitch and grab you stream key in the Dashboard. This stream.sh script will create a FIFO start rtl_fm at freq 162.550M to listen to Canada weather bulletin (use your local NOAA channel) and inject and encode the audio to the existing h264 stream from the camera then stream it to twitch usin..

If you really want a high end electric car, and you have the money, then you can buy a Tesla. You’ll end up paying through the nose though. It is super expensive, and that is not just because it takes a lot of work and resources to make. It is expensive, because Tesla wants the profit, in order to reinvest it into energy projects. No way you can get a similar car cheaper. Unique products like Tesla cars have no alternatives, so the people....

Occasionally you may want to hide a method from appearing inside the fabric listing of available tasks. Usually its some sort of helper method you have created that is shared by multiple tasks. So how to hide it? Simply prefix with _ For example, def _apt_get (packages): '''Makes installing packages easier''' sudo( 'apt-get update' ) sudo( 'apt-get -y --force-yes install %s ' % packages) When listing t..

We are on the final stretch of 3.5 getting ready for the codefreeze that will go into effect in the middle of next week. With that in mind we have last minute features we are trying to get out of the door and unfortunately had to skip some big tasks. One of the big problems is the iOS server migration which we couldn’t fit into the schedule. The peer component changes made it to Android but aren’t set as the default, this makes the most sen..

Showing or displaying the available tasks inside a fabric fabfile is one of those things that almost everyone wants to do at some point and usually works out you can just request a task you know will not exist (usually found through a typo). However there is a way to list them built into fabric itself. The below are all methods which can be used to display the currently defined tasks.
