And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth.

Exactly a year ago today we flew from Berlin to Tenerife to depart on a sailing trip across the Atlantic on the Finnish sail training schooner T/S Helena . The Grid had just reached 10.000 founding members, and it was time to charge batteries before the next big push towards the beta. I had sailed on Helena once before, on a weekend trip in the Turku archipelago . But crossing the Atlantic would be a more interesting adventure. F....

We became infatuated with icon fonts a while back and used them quite a bit, recently we added the FontImage class that made them really easy to use. However, up until now you had to download a font. Look up the value and enter it in. This was OK but not ideal in terms of syntax/availability especially for simpler apps. Google’s material design includes a really cool mobile friendly icon font and using that for all our built..

Spotted Conda package manager. It handles python installations, in addition to package management. There's also a package index provided by Binstar . Installed Miniconda , the bare bones Conda environment. Can't find a python package in Binstar? Here's a post on Using PyPi Packages with Conda . If that fails, you can try pip from your Conda python environment.

This is the third post in a series of three blog posts about Rollup, AdRoll’s UI component library. This post covers what we learned from building a UI component library. For details on why we built the UI component library see the first post in the series and for how we built it see the second post . At end of Rollup component and developer tool development, we reflected on what we did and realized that we had learned four important ....

If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg! Stephen Colbert We really depend on JavaFX at Codename One, our simulator needs it. Our desktop build uses it and our designer tool is based on Swing. We want it to succeed, its important to our business! We are not alone, even if you are a Java EE developer and don’t care about desktop programming, keep in mind the fact that today’s desktop technology is tomor..

At Cerner, we use Chef to automate our deployments across a very large distributed system comprised of many thousands of nodes. While we employ ServerSpec and Test Kitchen extensively to test our Chef recipes, this still doesn’t identify all possible failure scenarios. In a large distributed system such as ours, we occasionally run into connectivity failures between machines due to network ACL issues. This could be due to a variety of reaso..

The collaboration of a company and its multidisciplinary units has never been more crucial than it is right now. Everything we make today depends upon our ability to stay current, move nimbly, innovate, engage and delight. Those things are too difficult to achieve without cross-team collaboration. How can we unlock better collaborative rhythms within organizations that have tried and true processes that have worked for eons, but may not be ..

It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the diet of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly. Who errs. Who comes short again and again. Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.

This is a simple JavaScript game I made a while ago using HTML5’s canvas element. The rules are simple: Click on a box when it appears to make it disappear. Every time you click a box, you get points. However, every time you click a box, the next one appears faster. If a box appears on top of another box, you lose points. “Peak” is the highest score you achieved before you started losing points.

I've open-sourced my mongodb/couchdb data integrity analysis tool called white glove. You can find it at focusaurus/white-glove on github and white-glove on npm . It helps with both schema discovery of a new or unfamiliar database as well as scanning your data for inconsistencies that may help you prevent problems before they cause any impact to end users.

We have implemented a number of systems in support of our Erlang -based real-time bidding platform. One of these is a Celery task system which runs code implemented in Python on a set of worker instances running on Amazon EC2 . With the recent announcement of built-in support for Python in AWS Lambda functions (and upcoming access to VPC resources from Lambda), we’ve started considering increased use of Lambda for a number o....

Some concepts are very complex and need a long explanation. But we might decide to take a shortcut and simplify the concept when describing it. That short explanation is misleading. Lets see why… For example, we might be trying to explain electro-magnetism. A full explanation will include Maxwell’s equations, definitions of electric and magnetic fields a discussion of ferromagnets, and more. A shortcut explanation might be that magnet....

Today we dealt with some push messages overloading our servers, some of the apps developed in Codename One are remarkably successful and as a result our push servers got bogged down. To mitigate that and prevent service interruptions we moved all push activity to the new servers, this effectively means that a push operation on the old servers will map to the new servers seamlessly. This also means that we no longer support the null ..
