Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend GeeCON . GeeCON is a well-known conference in the JVM world and this year marked its 10th anniversary. More than 1200 people came to see over 80 sessions from more than 70 speakers distributed across 4 tracks over 3 days in Krakow, Poland. This was my first time attending GeeCON. In retrospect,...

Recently I attended the Data Driven Women Meetup event hosted by AdRoll Group, and felt inspired to share this blog post, from a man’s perspective. I heard of the event through my work (AdRoll Group) and after reading up on the event details, I realized four of my women colleagues were the featured speakers. It was at that time I remember thinking, “I should really go to support them.” Admittedly, I wasn’t even sure if men were allowe....

There are some amazing things happening with image processing at the moment. I remember my graphics class at university 25 years ago and the primitive, by comparison to now, image processing algorithms we had to code. Oh how things have moved on.

In January of last year we decided as a company to move towards containerization and began a migration to move onto AWS ECS . We pushed to move to containers, and off of AMI based VM deployments, in order to speed up our deployments, simplify our build tooling (since it only has to work on containers), get the benefits of being able to run our production code in a sandbox even locally on our dev machines (something you can’t really do eas....

Update 2019-01-29: A much simpler method using a tool called mkcert has come along and I have an updated walkthrough you may want to use instead. I would recommend the mkcert method unless you have a reason you explicitly need a self signed certificate. I recently purchased a .app domain for a side project; .app domains are interesting as they require SSL at all times . I like to set up my dev environments as subdomains of my ac....

Hate. Anger. Jealousy. Worry. These are all negative feelings that you should avoid, right? Love, happiness, joy, hope, and other positive emotions are, well, much better, so why not choose one of those instead?

A wicked Java trick to make the JVM forget to check exceptions

I’ve long time been a critic of the mechanism of compiler checked exceptions in Java. Whether you love them or hate then, one thing is sure: There’s situations where you don’t want to have to deal with them. The solution in Java is to wrap a checked exception in new RuntimeException(e) but this gives long stack traces without adding useful information. Sometimes, we just want to tell the compiler to chill.

There is a video of a demonstration given by Doug Engelbart in 1968 which is commonly referred to as “The Mother Of All Demos”. In the demo, he demonstrates a lot of technologies for the first time together that are common place today and some which we haven’t even achieved properly now:

I am fortunate with my current role that I am able to work 2-3 days per week from home. This saves me about 2.5 hours of commuting time per day as well as about £2000 per year.

Shutter Speed The time the shutter is open to expose light into the sensor. Typically measured in fractions of a second. Slow shutter speeds means more light into the sensor Examples of shutter speeds: 1/15 (1/15th of a second), 1/30, 1/60, 1/125. Aperture How big the hole of the lens is open. The larger the hole, the more light. Aperture also controls the depth of field. Small aperture = large depth of field

Track play counts are essential for providing a good creator experience on the SoundCloud platform. They not only help creators keep track of their most popular songs, but they also give creators a better understanding of their fanbase and global impact. This post is a continuation of an earlier post that discussed what we do at SoundCloud to ensure creators get their play stats (along with their other stats), both reliably and in real time..

This post is about a mental leap. I might not be an experienced and successful entrepreneur, but I am humbly trying to figure it out, to make a positive improvement in the world. I’ve been a critical thinker throughout my life and I am trying to combine sharp mathematical thinking with the humility of realizing I am a beginner at entrepreneurship. Most of my life I’ve been given problems to solve. Eventually, I got good at solving them. I....

I am pleased to announce that the latest version of Eve, v0.8, has been released. As always, this release has been carefully crafted with love and passion by yours truly, with the help of a fantastic bunch of contributors. Highlights include data-validation-on-steroids thanks to the full support for Cerberus 1.x, also recently released, partial media requests (think media streaming), new hooks which allow you to attach custom callbacks to..

This post is fairly old. See the updated version Starting a Go project in 2023 Getting started with a Go project in 2018 is frankly a little more painful then getting anything else started IMHO. With that here is what I have been doing to get started. The first thing to do is download and install Go. I would suggest always installing from the Go website itself https://golang.org/ and following the instructions for your OS of choice.

In this article we're going to go over the big list of words found in the title. When I worked on 2bwm I didn't have much experience with X programming in general. I've sort of learned it on the spot. That's why I'm trying to gain more knowledge before continuing to re-rewrite 2bwm from scratch. Now that I've got a bit more background I think it's good to share it with the world, for others that are like me, looking for knowledge and good..
