I find it hard to remember all the .hgignore settings for a new Mercurial repository that I need, so here’s a bootstrap version syntax: glob .hgignore */target/** */.settings/** */.classpath */.project *.log *.orig

Recently I've been thinking more and more about the zone. I've been trying to work out what it actually is. Most often it's described as being in a super productive state for short periods of time, where the best code you've ever written just flows from your fingertips.

Since June 2011 Google is supporting to set the rel canonical via the Canonical HTTP Header. This is great for PDF files, but nobody seems to have mentioned images? Does it even work? Link building with your infographic A popular method nowadays, post penguin, is to use an infographic to attract links. But how do [...]

A few weeks ago I was sitting at the hotel in Zurich with Jacob Kaplan Moss prior to DjangoCon EU enjoying a beer, talking about Django, and discussing a bit about our upcoming talks for the conference. He talked briefly about his upcoming keynote and how he was doing something different, including essentially 5 mini-talks. This seemed interesting enough, but the part that surprised me was when Jacob said, “I’m among friends here so i....

I’ve been running a few experiments and trials with Impact, just to get some stuff working that I wasn’t sure about before. One of these tests that I think will come in useful is having the player grow as it eats or picks up objects. I actually saw a couple of people getting to my blog through search terms related to Impact entity scaling and growth, so thought I’d outline the method I’ve been using here. This is probably not the neatest or..


Hi, It’s very early days at the moment but I’m going to be looking for some beta testers over the next couple of weeks. I had a great group of testers on WP7 and they helped make the app what it is now, hopefully we can do the same with this. The same logic as with the WP7 app, you have to be willing to give lots of feedback and use an application that isn’t finished, with bugs. Win 8 Machine is mandatory.

If you’re a frequent flyer (like i’ve oddly enough become recently) you probably have status with your airline that gives you lounge access for when you’re flying. Also, if you’re a frequent flyer, you probably also really enjoy drinking and paying as little as possible for it. So here’s a way that you (and sometimes also your entire family) can all have unlimited party nights out — on your airline’s dollar! Decide you want to party and n..


Se vi occupate di frontend non perdetevi lo spettacolare articolo in cui Majd Taby ci spiega come usare al meglio il WebKit Inspector. Il panorama mobile è monopolizzato da WebKit e di conseguenza gran parte degli strumenti e dell’infrastruttura per lo sviluppo di applicazioni frontend mobile (e non solo, ndr) risiedono nel WebKit Inspector. Per questo ne analizzerò con cura gli strumenti e spiegherò come e quando usarli.

5 in the Continuous Delivery webinar series Companies can leverage the strengths of Cloud Architecture and apply techniques of Infrastructure-as-a-Service within their own data centers. Thoughtworks’ recent project spanning several large data centers in India shows how enterprises can use virtualization and automation to gain strategic business advantages. The capabilities that can be achieved could help those enterprises that for competiti..

Problem: Compute a reasonable approximation to a “streaming median” of a potentially infinite sequence of integers. Solution: (in Python) def streamingMedian(seq): seq = iter(seq) m = 0 for nextElt in seq: if m > nextElt: m -= 1 elif m < nextElt: m += 1 yield m Discussion: Before we discuss the details of the Python implementation above, we should note a few things. First, because the input sequence is potentially infinite, we can’t store a..

After a year of writing this blog, what have I learned about the nature of the relationship between computer programs and mathematics? Here are a few notes that sum up my thoughts, roughly in order of how strongly I agree with them. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Programming is absolutely great for exploring questions and automating tasks. Mathematics is absolutely great for distilling the soul of a problem.

This is, hopefully, the beginning of my personal blog entries. I've started to blog several times over the years and only gotten this far. We'll see how this attempt turns out. I want to write my personal thoughts on here, technical discussions about computing, and pictures of cats in top hats if I have the resources to spare. My email address is at the bottom of the site. If you want to give me any sort of feedback, go for it. ..

No stand-up - www.craigpardey.com - 14 years ago - eng
There was no stand-up this morning and it felt like my day never really started. It was my first day at my new job with CIBC and, even though I knew that the team was not agile before signing up for the gig, I had underestimated how much I depended upon our daily rituals practices at Intelliware. These practices provided a rhythm and cadence to the day that I had taken for granted.

Earlier this week while I was at DjangoCon EU there seemed to be a surprising amount of talk about MongoDB. My problem with this isn’t with MongoDB, but in the assumption that only Mongo can solve what you’re looking for. By and far the most common feature is people want schemaless. It gives them flexibility in their data model and lets them iterate quickly. While I still opt for relational models that map cleanly to a relational database....

We, especially us consultants, preface presentations, blogs, and books with dire predictions about change in the world. What we fail to recognize at times is that change isn’t change, that there are different types of change and we need to have different tools—different levels of innovation—to address each. Three types that come to mind (there are surely other useful classifications) are incremental, differentiating, and disruptive.

Hi, Version 3.6 is going through certification at the moment, it fixes issues with articles displaying incorrectly and several other bugs. On a side note it was great to be recognised as one of the best news apps on the platform in the community app awards, so thank you to all those who voted! http://appawards.wp7applist.com/c/best-news-app Let me know how you get on with the new version!

Last time we investigated the naive (which I’ll henceforth call “classical”) notion of the Fourier transform and its inverse. While the development wasn’t quite rigorous, we nevertheless discovered elegant formulas and interesting properties that proved useful in at least solving differential equations. Of course, we wouldn’t be following this trail of mathematics if it didn’t result in some worthwhile applications to programming. While we’..
