Once you have set-up a web server like Apache or nginx running on the Raspberry Pi it is time to create a website. From here there a several options: A CMS that relies on a database, some purely manual crafted pages or a static pages generated by a script. I chose the latter for some reasons. Static sites have a lot of advantages: no database to slow requests down offer greater security, as they do not contain dynamic content, so are immun..

As humans, we pride ourselves of being able to pass information and culture to the future generations. We think, that since we invented written words, the printing press, and the internet, we have invented information. We haven’t. Many other animals successfully transfer information in their communities, over multiple generations. Take the example of a young leopard learning to hunt from his mother. Initially, the hunting skill and informat....

In recent years it has become more and more common to work in different projects running on different versions of Java. There are still some running on Java 6, and there are tons already running on Java 8.

One of the pains in Codename One is the access to the demos, yes we have the downloadable demo bundle and the SVN but for a complete novice to Codename One this isn’t front and center. Chen decided to address that by embedding the latest versions of the demos both into the Eclipse and the NetBeans plugins, now when you create a new Codename One project you can also create a demo project and “just run it”. This allows you to quickly learn/de..

Hello! If you are not familiar with Docker , it is the popular open source container engine. Most people use Docker for containing applications to deploy into production or for building their applications in a contained environment. This is all fine & dandy, and saves developers & ops engineers huge headaches, but I like to use Docker in a not-so-typical way. I use Docker to run all the desktop apps on my computers. But why would I....

Racing in Gastorpoda has been implemented for months in its most basic state, but has never really gotten the attention it needs. So things like jars, in-jar positioning, and movement ended up evolving past the stage of the racing and making the current racing system kind of an outdated one.

Collaboration Techniques for Large Distributed Agile Projects

In past few years, it has become quite common for software development teams to be distributed across time-zones and comprise of multiple vendors with 50-100+ people. Agile practices encourage in-person interactions to foster collaboration, whereas, distributed and large teams force communication into the opposite direction. Therefore, it is important to achieve agility albeit with different, or modified mechanics, that work well for distr..

One of the most annoying things I deal with is XML documents with invalid characters inside them. Usually caused by copy pasting from MS Word it ends up with invisible characters that you cannot easily find and cause XML parsers to choke. I have encountered this problem enough that I thought a quick blog post would be worth the effort. As such here mostly for my own reference is a regular expression for C# .NET that will clean invalid XML..

So what makes a good UX Designer? It’s a question that I think about a lot (and hopefully, if you are in the UX field, you think about it too). Because the field of User Experience is relatively new, we spend a lot of time trying to define what a UX designer is and what we do on a daily basis.

This is not a tutorial. It's a story. A Voxel Odyssey. The story starts with 19 year old me in a dorm room next to the Ohio State stadium. I don't have the repo from this stage of development (SVN at the time), but I remember the process clearly. Photo by Kristen Sutton XNA 4 comes out in September 2010 . I immediately dive in. This turns out to be a poor life decision.

The snail brain, while still very basic, seems somewhat stable now. By “stable” I mean a snail can survive and reproduce without human intervention if it has a steady supply of food.

There are two basic problems in information theory that are very easy to explain. Two people, Alice and Bob, want to communicate over a digital channel over some long period of time, and they know the probability that certain messages will be sent ahead of time. For example, English language sentences are more likely than gibberish, and “Hi” is much more likely than “asphyxiation.” The problems are: Say communication is very expensive.

TL/DR: Regular expressions are fast, until they aren’t. How I got a 20x performance by switching to string functions. With the new version of searchcode.com one of the main things I wanted to address was performance. The previous version had all sorts of performance issues which were not limited to the usual suspects such as the database or search index. When developing the new version one of the tasks listed in my queue was to profile ..

Further to my earlier post on XenServer storage performance with regards to directly attaching storage from the host, I have been analysing the performance of various SSD storage options. I have attached a HP DS2220sb storage blade to an existing server blade and compared performance with 4 and 6 SSD RAID-10 to our existing iSCSI SANs. While the P420i RAID controller in the DS2220sb is clearly saturated and unable to provide throughput ..
