We talked about our support for Progressive Web Apps before . We added quite a few enhancements since that support was introduced and it’s a pretty powerful feature. Personally I consider it a killer feature, even if Google decides to ban your account you can still distribute your app. One of the cool features is the seamlessness. Most of the functionality “just works”. However, there are some cases where we need explicit hints due to ..

Paul Hudson , over at Hacking with Swift , has written The Complete Guide to Optionals in Swift . One of the many highlights is the nil-coalescing operator . If you're a fan of the C-like syntax in ternary operations , you'd enjoy chaining with Swift's nil-coalescing operator: let players = [ "goose": "run!" ] let move = players["duck1"] ?? players["duck2"] ?? players["duck3"] ?? players["goose"] print("\(String(describing: move))") ..

The straightforward approach was to repeat the encoded sequence over and over until the receiver gets complete data. This simple repetition code was good enough for starter and trivial to implement, but also introduced long delays in case the receiver missed at least on..

For the last four years I’ve been working on a book for programmers who want to learn mathematics. It’s finally done, and you can buy it today. The website for the book is pimbook.org, which has purchase links—paperback and ebook—and a preview of the first pages. You can see more snippets later in the book on the Amazon listing’s “Look Inside” feature. If you’re a programmer who wants to learn math, this book is written specifically for you..

Someone handed me an Ocado shopping voucher for 30% off. Sounded promising, even for a one-off. With my Money or Your Life hat on, I took a closer look for potential savings. Results were disappointing, when compared to alternatives like Asda. Here's a table comparing Ocado (30% off) and Asda (no discount): Ocado Asda Coconut Merchant Organic Raw Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 500ml 6.74 KTC 100% pure coconut oil 2.00 Waitro....

16th January 2019 - I have updated the article to include DNS lookups over VPN too, where as previously they would have been going out via your ISP/WiFi/mobile provider. WireGuard is the new kid on the block when it comes to VPNs. I could try and explain what it is and why you should switch from OpenVPN or IPsec to it, but they do a great job of that themselves:

The law of Christ is identical to the law of the ten commandments. Christ did not give another law; Christ gave that law of the ten commandments. To this law He subjected Himself and has perfectly lived according to it, leaving us an example therein. He Himself is also a living law. Christ has never given liberty to transgress any of the ten commandments, be it those that pertain to murder, adultery, or theft, etc. Thus, the law of Chri..

Did you know that it is mathematically impossible to predict the weather 30 days in the future. Not just “its really hard and we don’t know how to do it yet”, but rather “nobody will ever, EVER, be able to do this no matter how advanced they are”. Chaos theory proves it. Even if we know physics laws perfectly, even if they are completely deterministic, and we have nearly perfect knowledge of where every single atom is on earth, we will sti....

Nearly every technology that has been developed has been used for both good and bad. Developments that look like they could have a massive impact on civilization have usually also spun off a side effect that has a detrimental effect. This could be the latest technologies such as genetic engineering and artificial intelligence or older technologies such as the automobile.

Whether it’s a build environment for compiling and testing the application, or a test environment with other parts of the stack for integration, or end-to-end testing, developers waste an extraordinary amount of time setting up and maintaining environments. Thanks to Docker and a tool called batect, I’ve successfully eliminated this waste on a number of teams.

I read a lot of books and once I start reading a book I normally finish it. This article proposes that it may be more valuable to have a bunch of books that are unread. Not sure I completely buy in to the proposition that “Read books are far less valuable than unread ones” however maybe I won’t feel so guilty buying a book and then leaving it unread.
