TL;DR: I offer declarative strongly typed layouts with data bindings in pure Java. Android UI development is broken. It normally ends up with lots of boilerplate code and poor architecture. Here are some (very subjective) issues: There is no MVC (or M-V-Whatever). XMLs always contain lots of copy-pasted code, very poor code reuse. XMLs are very fragile, so you can type “TextVeiw” and it will not warn you during the compilation but will thro..

A trait object in Rust 0 can only be constructed out of traits that satisfy certain restrictions, which are collectively called “object safety”. This object safety can appear to be a needless restriction at first, I’ll try to give a deeper understanding into why it exists and related compiler behaviour. This is the second (and a half) in a short series of articles on trait objects. The first one— Peeking inside Trait Objects —set the....

Introduction Having some basic skills in debugging Go programs can save any programmer a good amount of time trying to identify problems. I believe in logging as much information as you can, but sometimes a panic occurs and what you logged is not enough. Understanding the information in a stack trace can sometimes mean the difference between finding the bug now or needing to add more logging and waiting for it to happen again.

Robert C. Martin is at it again this time targeting the (infamous?) Interface construct in a funny way. As both a C# and Python coder I couldn’t agree more. Also, let me quote my fellow polyglot developer Nicola Musatti who went all out on the topic: Some of us have known that for the best part of the last 20 years 😉

One of the most powerful parts of the Rust programming language 0 is the trait system . They form the basis of the generic system and polymorphic functions and types. There’s an interesting use of traits, as so-called “trait objects”, that allows for dynamic polymorphism and heterogeneous uses of types, which I’m going to look at in more detail over a short series of posts. Update 2015-02-19 : A lot of this document has been copied....

I moved my office into an incubator / art gallery this week. The move is mostly for my own sanity. Turns out, working alone in your apartment for 9 months isn't the most fun in the world. It's a Herculean effort just to stay motivated. I also lost all semblance of a disciplined sleep schedule. Productivity has been great since the move, and I'm back on a normal sleep schedule. Having people around is great, even if I mostly ..

I needed to do this recently when working with a team to automated releases of several websites. The team have a fairly common setup. They’ve got more than one web server behind a load balancer, the load balancer calls a keep alive page to see if the servers are behaving and if they fail to respond stops sending them traffic until they’re healthy again. What I wanted to do was rename the keep alive page, so the box stops getting new tra..

I went to a lecture recently and the CEO of Runtastic spoke. He said: you don’t “win or lose” , you “win or learn” . 2014 was a year of learning for me. Some of it was good, but some of it was definitely in the “you win or learn” sense of learning. Collecting on debts Many customers thought they would just order software from me and worry about paying it later. (The word “later” in the sense of tomorrow in “Alice in Wonderland”, i.e. ..
