I’m still on the Laravel migration. It’s going pretty well, except for last night. Last night I was porting racing.

This article is dedicated to the ExileOffice team - revolutionizing the way we run our business in Exilesoft. As applications move more and more of their business logic to the client side, it falls upon us to simplify what’s left on the server to avoid distractions. My previous article shows how I get rid of lot of the boring and noisy code. There is one thing that the server will always be responsible for: Security.

What's that you say? You didn't even notice the absence of Screenshot Saturday last week? How convenient. Let's pretend it never happened. Or rather, pretend that it did. Whatever. MGDS was a huge success! There was almost always a line to play the game, and I got a ton of useful feedback. Here are some pictures: Most of the feedback was related to level design. I came home with a phone full of "todo" items. Here are some sc..

Sam Dogen had another thought-provoking post over at Financial Samurai recently, this time looking at the very interesting difference between the way that Americans and Europeans in particular view money. I encourage you to read the entire thing: How Europeans See Money Differently From Americans . Most interesting out of this entire piece, though, and definitely the most impactful statement for me, was that of his conclusion: “Remember th..

Worth linking to again, courtesy of Dave Pell’s The Next Draft this time around on the forty-fifth anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic mission: the speech President Nixon plan to give in the event of a moon disaster. Incredible, and remarkable chilling: “Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.” Permalink.

Enlarging an LVM partition on a linux machine is trivial. You only need one command to do it and it can even be done when the partition is mounted. lvresize -r -L +20G /vg1/lvm1 This command enlarges the LVM lvm1 to 20GB . Assuming you use an ext, ReiserFS or XFS filesystem on the LVM -layer it gets enlarged, too (with the -r -switch. But if you need to shrink an existing partition it can get ugly. It is possible to shrin....

Note: this hybrid management technique is being demonstrated in the puppet-ipa module for FreeIPA , but the idea could be used for other modules and scenarios too. See below for some use cases…) The error message that puppet hackers are probably most familiar is: Error: Duplicate declaration: Thing[/foo/bar] is already declared in file /tmp/baz.pp:2; cannot redeclare at /tmp/baz.pp:4 on node computer.example.com Typically..

Rust is an in-development 0 systems programming language with a strong focus on no-overhead memory safety. This is achieved through a powerful type system (with similarities to Haskell), and careful tracking of ownership and pointers, guaranteeing safety. However, this is too restrictive for a low-level systems language, an escape hatch is occasionally required. Enter the unsafe keyword. Poking holes in memory safety Rust aims to be m....

I don’t do this often, but for all the help Tuts+ gave me as I worked to expand the functionality of this design over the past few weeks, I can’t let it slip by without note. When I build a site, I prefer to do everything humanely possible with CSS rather than outsourcing it to JavaScript. Due to this perhaps irrational desire, everything — including device detection — but the ability to enter dark mode and save that preference across mul..

Throwing somebody under the bus ( ref ) is a cowardly act, and one that particularly irks me. Nobody likes to be humiliated in front of others. I’ve seen this happen countless time when a developer will point out a bug or error of another developer and use it as an excuse for not delivering on their own work. “I couldn’t load the data because of a bug in Johnny’s code”. Bullshit. If you were a team player then you would have pulled up ..

Hi, [Update 03/21: Azureite local emulator is a good one to look at in this space too. More details here. ] I recently set about writing a solution that’s heavily reliant on Azure Blob storage. I found my debugging cycle wasn’t nice, I’d spin up the code then spend ages in Azure Storage Explorer to work out what had happened. I also new I’d want some integration tests for the future. So I did some research set about writing a quick..

July is when Sweden goes on holidays. Businesses are closed for the summer (quite a few of them, anyway), people take time off work, the weather doesn’t suck. Usually people tend to go away to other countries, which to me is ludicrous because after all that snow and cold these months are finally when Sweden gets warm and sunny. I guess I’m kind of fibbing - I get it. You want to get out and see other places during your vacation.

Regardless of your own personal opinions regarding Christianity and religion in general, I think we can all get behind Sid’s overarching sentiment: it is important to remain true to yourself even when doing so means standing alone alongside an unpopular opinion. For in the end, with what will we find ourselves left? It is to these convictions we hold and must hold strongly that we will return; without them, we have nothing. Stick to your ..

Nearly a year ago I put together an hour long presentation on PostgreSQL to provide an overview of all of the benefits it provides you over other options in the database space. In hindsight, that wasn't nearly enough time because it has the capability to replace almost your entire application stack outside of the web server. In any case, here is an attempt to summarize all of the amazing functionality that you're cheating yourself out of by..

Getting to Know Fiddler: Part I: Capture and debug traffic from a mobile device

If you've done any amount of web development on Windows, you've probably used a program called “Fiddler” a few times. Fiddler is a small proxy server that allows you to see all of the requests made by your system. Sadly, for most people, I'd guess that that is all that Fiddler is. It's a shame because Fiddler offers up so much more power than that. So, let's fix this. For the next several weeks, we're going to explore some of the under noti..

Absolutely hilarious video, courtesy of John Gruber — with the choice line taken as an excerpt: “Magellan Was an Explorer. Chuck Yeager Was an Explorer. You Guys Have a Fucking Camera on Your Face.” I was rather bullish on the widespread reaction to Google Glass the other day when I wrote Thoughts on Glass , but I can still appreciate some great humor when I see it. Very well done. Permalink.

Yet another week has come and gone, and here at the end we once again find ourselves with a collection of fantastic podcasts; some new and only just published, while others now have one more chance at enamoring a pair of fresh ears. Some new, some old, and all equally excellent. Permalink.

Roughly once a week, give or take a few days, Brett Terpstra publishes a new installment in his “ Web Excursions ” series, where he talks about interesting bookmarks from around the internet. In yesterday’s issue, Web Excursions for July 18, 2014 , he featured First Crack 1.0 front and center. That’s pretty cool. Permalink.

Since I am still bringing all my content together I thought I would pull in this post from Quora asking what is special about DuckDuckGo . Privacy enabled by default. This certainly helped get traction when the NSA security revelations came around. DDG is not the only privacy conscious search engine but certainly one that pushes it as a feature more then others. See https://duckduckgo.com/privacy !bang syntax. Remember back in th..

I like refactoring. No, I love refactoring. No, not even like this. I awfully love refactoring. I hate bad code and bad architecture. I feel quite creepy when I design a new feature and the near-by class contains absolute mess. I just can’t look at the sadly-looking variables. Sometimes before falling asleep I close my eyes and imagine what could be improved in the project. Sometimes I wake up at 3:00AM and go to my computer to improve so....

You cannot — ought not — judge the Fire phone by the traditional standards against which we have come to judge all devices these days, but rather from the perspective of a goods and services company that seeks to facilitate streamlined access to its storefront for its most loyal and devoted customers by offering them a device integrated with its own services to a degree made impossible through third-party integration alone on another device..
