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....

Streaming using a Raspberry Pi Camera to Twitch in Full HD while injecting audio from rtl sdr

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.

Despite having been around for over 20 years, HTTPS always remained very lightly adopted – until 2016. Data from two independent sources shows that HTTPS adoption more than doubled from 2015 to 2016. Snyk CEO Guy Podjarny digs into this data.

SimpleObjectCache is a very simple permanent, cross-platform, asynchronous key-value object cache for .NET. It comes with built-in SQLite 3 support. Alternative backends can be added by implementing the IObjectCache or IBulkObjectCache interfaces. How it works First, you need to set the ApplicatioName. This is also going to be the folder where your cache will reside. Depending on the host OS the location of this folder might be differe..

Millions of Codename One apps are installed on devices every month. Most of them aren’t in the gallery and are never featured in this recurring segment. We are looking for something exceptional in apps that we feature here and Ana Paltel fits that bill. It has a polished UI and it’s shipped by a major operator. It uses some unique Codename One features to boot making it even more interesting.

Annoyingly most cloud providers have an irritating habit of not adding any swap memory to any instance you spin up. Probably because if they added swap to the instance the disk size would appear to be smaller then it is or if they had a dedicated swap partition they would have to bear the cost or again use some of your disk space. Thankfully adding swap to your Ubuntu linux instance is fairly easy. The following task when run will check i..

Когда мне еще не было и двадцати, я постоянно искал музыку, новую, незнакомую музыку - не существующую в реальном мире. Друзья мои ходили на концерты и ездили на фестивали, а мне это было не интересно, слишком приземленно и обыденно. Я сидел в интернете на audioscrobbler.com, и слушал Coil, Amon Tobin, какого-то чувака с брагофоном, Karlheinz нашевсё Stockhausen, Venetian Snares и конечно Einstürzende Neubauten. А тут, на окончание семест..

On Monday this week, the Prometheus authors have released version 1.0.0 of the central component of the Prometheus monitoring and alerting system, the Prometheus server. (Other components will follow suit over the next months.) This is a major milestone for the project. Read more about it on the Prometheus blog, and check out the announcement of the CNCF, which has recently accepted Prometheus as a hosted project.

When I first read the announcement that Parse.com would shut down on January 28th 2017, I went from disbelief (it’s probably an early April fool’s joke) to rage (how could they do that?!) to sadness (oh no! it was a great service) and finally to utter confusion (where do I go from here and what do I do with my apps – parse4cn1 , two MVPs for clients and an upcoming rewrite of Medex for which I was planning to use Parse.com ..

With the advent of cloud computing where you spin up and tear down servers at will it becomes extremely useful to pick the hosts you want fabric to run on at runtime rather then through the usual env.hosts setting. This allows you to query your servers through your cloud providers API without having to maintain a list. This can be a more powerful and flexible technique then using roles and in a devops world can save you a lot of time.

The package mock-require is useful if you want to mock require statements in Node.js. It has a simple API that allows you to mock anything, from a single exported function to a standard library. Here’s an example: app/config.js app/services/content.js test/services/content_spec.js

I was stuck on a 14 hour flight last week, and to my disappointment, only one of the two headphone speakers were working. The plane’s media centre has an audio connector that looks like this: Someone should consider probing this USB port. The hole to the left is smaller than a 3.5mm headphone jack, and designed for a proprietary headphone connector that I didn’t have, and the two holes to the right are part of a different proprietary c..

It all started with Glitch, a tiny algorithmic music composer. I spent lots of time deciding whether I should choose a native approach (e.g. C++, Qt, RtAudio) or an HTML5 way. After all I decided to give HTML5 a try - there is JavaScript which I still like, WebAudio that runs everywhere, UI that can be ported to desktop thanks to Electron, and I’ve heard browsers are really good at performance these days.

One of the big decisions we made a while back was to build the new GUI builder on top of Codename One itself, we extended that decision three months ago with the decision to build the Codename One settings in Codename One and then deciding to make it the default preferences UI for all IDE’s… Those were great decisions in retrospect, they helped us consolidate code across the different IDE’s. Furthermore using Codename One is far si..

I have been traveling for about 40-something days now, and I don’t feel the way I expected. I hadn’t traveled around the northwest USA nor much of Europe before so I expected that I’d want to spend every day exploring around, to see the local history and culture. On previous, short vacations, I had spent most of the time going from one attraction to another. And I did explore for a while. I drove around between cities and national parks, ....
