In what situations should a template be used for writing stories? When would the lack of templates cause issues? In this blog, I wanted to put out the case both for and against creating and using a story template. In particular, stressing the importance of creating a balanced view. Feel free to join in and add your own.

So I was recently scheduled to do an AirPair pair programming session to help someone understand the various javascript functions available for asynchronous programming. This topic is key to writing correct code both in node.js and the browser, but it is indeed easy to see how things can be quite confusing when first encountering a myriad of functions that all seem to basically do the same thing. setTimeout, setImmediate, process.next....

Algorithm: Recognizing URLs within plain text, and displaying them as clickable links in HTML, in Wicket

I have just, out of necessity for a customer project, written code which takes user-entered plain text, and creates out of that HTML with URLs marked up as clickable links. Although marking up links in user-entered text is standard functionality, Stack Overflow would have you believe that it’s not something that should not be attempted, as it cannot be done perfectly. This is technically correct, however, users are accustomed to softwar..

Have you ever noticed how iOS apps start almost instantly in comparison to Android apps? There is a trick to that. iOS applications have a file traditionally called Default.png that includes a 320×480 pixel image of the first screen of the application. So you are treated to an “illusion” of the application instantly coming to life and filling up with data, this is pretty cool on the surface but is a source to no end of trouble in iOS and ..

Cloud files are a great pro feature that we didn’t emphasize enough, its remarkably useful. It allows you to upload a file into the cloud which you can then transfer to anyone thru a simple “obfuscated” URL. The URL is long so the probability of someone guessing it is low, hence its pretty secure for private file transfer (if its really private you should use bouncy castle ). The API couldn’t be simpler:

This week I finished what will probably be the last map in the Kickstarter demo. It teaches the player about the "extended wall-run" ability, demonstrated here: Normally, you hold Shift to wall-run. Now you can just keep holding Shift after you run out of wall, and you'll keep going. I also fixed the water bugs from last week, so it looks much better now: I've been worried that I don't have time in the demo to introduce eve..

Introduction As I improve my knowledge and framework for a Go based web service I am building, I continue to go back and enhance my Beego Sample App . Something I just added recently was providing localized messages for validation errors. I was fortunate to find Nick Snyder's go-i18n package. Nick's package made it easy to support multiple languages for the Go web service I am writing. Abstracting go-i18n The go-i18n packa....

So I’ve recently been using lots of VM’s and I end up getting through them fairly quickly – deleting and creating them regularly. What I ended up with was loads of ghost services in the portal that were, once upon a time, associated with a VM in the distant past. Given PowerShell is awesome, I set about automating the removal of these using the azure cmdlts. The trick is that I don’t want to remove services or VM’s that are currently “S..

Lets Start With What the USD is backed by The USD is no longer backed by gold 1 , but by a promise that the US Government will pay its debt (in the form of payment the interest on (and sometime redeem) government securities when due). If these payments are not made to the debt holders (Corporations, China, treasury-bond holders) then a default would occur, which would shift international use of the USD into other currencies. This would f....

Git is something most of us, as developers, can't live without. However, Git may also behave like a double-edged sword, especially for less-than-seasoned developers like me, who inevitably ended up doing something stupid to my Git repository.

I recently came across JSCS and thought it would be a great addition to our git flow to enforce consistent code style for all of our JavaScript code. JSCS is a code style checker for JavaScript. It lets you decide if you prefer your if’s with or without a space after them; if you’re OK with declaring multiple variables with one var keyword; if your lines shouldn’t go over 80 characters; etc. A lot of it is a matter of taste of course, b....

After se....

If you enjoyed my roundups even in the slightest, I encourage you to sign up for the book’s waiting list ; I did, and I can’t wait to give them a few doll..

Thoughtworks has long been associated with continuous integration. In 2000 we began using it on a large project and Matt Foemmel wrote what we think was the first CI server to help make it easier. Other people wanted the tool and through a complicated process of idea-sharing and dragging code across the US we ended up creating CruiseControl, the first publicly available CI server.

Although written in the same vein as all those articles about Tim Cook where the collective discourse was invariably framed by the comparison to Steve Jobs and his legacy, published for much too long after Tim became Apple’s latest CEO, here such a format actually felt appropriate as the author — taking from Yukari Kane’s upcoming book Haunted Empire, Apple After Steve Jobs — did so to contrast the two very different leadership styles of ..

This is a guest post by my colleague Adam Lelkes. The goal of this primer is to introduce an important and beautiful tool from probability theory, a model of fair betting games called martingales. In this post I will assume that the reader is familiar with the basics of probability theory. For those that need to refresh their knowledge, Jeremy’s excellent primers (1, 2) are a good place to start.
