At trivago we love hotels above everything else, but we also like metrics, we love to measure everything, compare, decide, improve and then rinse and repeat. In this blog entry we are going to describe our experience with InfluxDB, a time series database that we are using to store some real time metrics.

And if it snowed and snow covered the drive he took a spade and tossed it to one side. And always tucked his daughter up at night And slippered her the one time that she lied. And every week he tipped up half his wage. And what he didn’t spend each week he saved. And praised his wife for every meal she made. And once, for laughing, punched her in the face.

Enterprises of all sizes have confused novelty for innovation. Innovation institutes change: changing the offering, changing expectations, even (for the lucky few) changing the game. Novelty’s only benefit is its newness; like the smell of a new car, it rarely survives extended contact with its first customers. The pressures of the changing market have compounded that confusion with the desire to do anything, instead of the right thing. I..

Though personally I’ve played and beat many AAA games on the service, it unfortunately a) had a very limited selection and b) is now gone.

Devices have sensors such as accelerometer, GPS and up until now our support for them was relatively basic. Chen recently introduced a cn1lib that includes support for various types of sensors on the device. It’s really simple to use: SensorsManager sensor = SensorsManager.getSenorsManager(SensorsManager.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER); if (sensor != null) { sensor.registerListener(new SensorListener() { public void onSensorChanged(long timeStam..

Also enabled Emacs's git-commit-training-wheels-mode: (use-package git-commit-training-wheels-mode :ensure t :commands (git-commit-training-wheels-mode)) (use-package git-commit-mode :ensure t :config (add-hook 'git-commit-mode-hook 'git-commit-training-wheels-mode) :commands (git-commit-mode)) Another great post by Chris Beams.

So the aim here is to get the PowerGist project a nice CI process. I want to accept pull requests to the github repository and have these changes build, tested (future) and be published to Chocolatey for people to install/update. Before I go on, if you haven’t used chocolatey , its a great tool similar to apt-get on linux for installing applications - have a look at it now, I’ll wait. Good, now that’s sorted lets crack on. As this is....

I have an amazing time machine that lets me think better about projects. This is part 2 in a series of blog posts exploring the use of a time machine. This is a trick that I learned from my User Experience (UX) friends. In many projects, the project members have a great feeling about the possibilities of the product they are building, even if they quite know if they will get there or if the road ahead will be bumpy.

With Oh-My-Vagrant (omv) you can set up a dev environment in seconds. (Read the omv introduction if you’ve never used it before!) Since everything is defined in a single omv.yaml file, it is easy to share your cluster prototype with a friend! The one missing feature was associating code with this config file. This is now possible! Let me show you how it works… In the omv.yaml file there is an extern variable. It is a list of each ext..

New Technologies, New Methods: Closing the Feedback Loop in the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is accelerating rapidly, and bringing with it a wealth of opportunity. Though many focus on the data and technology needs of the Internet of Things - the sensors, data, and the storage, security, and analysis of that data - we’re already forgetting to think about the humans interacting with those technologies.

In little less than a week, a new edition of Coursera’s course, Principles of Reactive Programming from Martin Odersky, Erik Meijer and Roland Kuhn, is launching. This course is a follow-up of Principles of Functional Programming in Scala , which I took in its first edition and which I enjoyed a lot. I’ve regretted missing out first edition of this second course for a long time (more than a year, in fact), so if you want to learn about..

When Codename One packages applications into native apps we hide a lot of details to make the process simpler. One of the things we had an issue with is getResource/getResourceAsStream both of which are problematic since they support hierarchies and a concept of package relativity. That’s a concept that is problematic in iOS, generally everything about file access within the bundle in iOS is a bit problematic to accomplish in a cros..

I have a little secret: I don’t like the terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics. I find it unnecessarily complicated. This shows up when trying to read about Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Take, for example, the abstract to the Markov Chain Monte Carlo article in the Encyclopedia of Biostatistics. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a technique for estimating by simulation the expectation of a statistic in a complex mod..
