Do you still work from a mobile device after your new laptop has arrived? I think about going iPad for coding on the go, Mac Mini at the desk. Can’t afford to waste money on a laptop which I only use 5–10% of the time, but don’t know if my work will be doable.

These days I work on a company MacBook Pro - I don’t have the flexibility to do work on a Linode outside the company firewall now I’m part of a megacorp! I’m also playing around with mobile prototype boards and various Raspberry Pi versions, so the mobile iPad life doesn’t fit my day-to-day work very well.

Hey I wanted to give this a whirl myself and wondered what you did security-wise? I was using plain ssh, but my sysops friend recommended setting up a vpn so I can firewall every other port.

I use UFW to firewall all the ports on my Linode and redirect SSH to a specific non-standard port. I also configured a service (I forget which) to blacklist repeated login / port-scan attempts. Hasn’t been a problem so far!

Introduction When I started to work with Go’s channels for the first time, I made the mistake of thinking about channels as a data structure. I saw channels as a queue that provided automatic synchronized access between goroutines. This structural understanding caused me to write a lot of bad and complicated concurrent code. I learned over time that it’s best to forget about how channels are structured and focus on how they behave. So no..

I started working on this post back in August and so much happened in between I just had to scrap the whole thing and start over again… I’ve discussed buttons before and now it’s time for TextField & TextArea. But before we go into that lets take a moment to talk about the problems that arose from the last installment of pixel perfect . I made a lot of changes to Codename One but there was one particularly painful change: caps text. Thi..

Here is the scenario, I wanted to use a container to run a linux app in Azure and I need to persist changes to the filesystem via Azure Files. This, initially, appears to be nice and simple - you mount the Azure File share using CIFS and then pass this into docker as a volume mount. But what if you app relies on some linux specific operations some, like symlinks, can be emulated see here for details , but others can’t.

As the birthplace of Bang & Olufsen, Lego and Pandora, Denmark seemed particularly well-suited to host Shoptalk’s first European conference. Retail leaders from around the globe descended on Copenhagen to hear 225 speakers from brands including Zalando, eBay and Alibaba. Thinking of attending next year? We were impressed by Shoptalk’s content, approach and variety of delegates. Here are our top 6 takeaways from this year’s event.

__ The information in this blog post is slightly out of date. Check out the newer blog post that covers positioning components on the map. I’ve recently added a segment to the online course covering the native maps. This segment is a part of a larger trend towards the upcoming Uber demo which we will release before the end of the year. As part of that work I did some initial “half baked” work on a map layout manager.

Logos and artworks in the Unix world, where do those come from. We'll try to analyse a bunch of popular Unix mascots and logos. Throughout my research I could distinct two groups of mascots and logos. Even though it's not fun to have a binomial vision of the world, black and white, but this is what I found and this is mostly what it is.

Recently, my organization reached a big goal and we decided to celebrate by taking everyone out for dinner. What happened was a GDPR nightmare. Or was it? We sent out a Google Form with three simple questions: 1. What’s your name, 2. Are you coming to the dinner? 3. Do you have any dietary constraints? But wait! According to article 4 of the GDPR, “‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural p..

I am someone who spends large portions of their time working in weakly typed languages. Namely, PHP and JavaScript. I argue that static analysis is a must-have when working with any weakly typed language. It is nearly impossible to make reliable code without it. Static analysis makes up for the missing type system and allows you to scale. I recently got in an argument with another developer over static analysis. It's been an ongoing ....

Earlier today I ran into a problem posed as an interview question. At a glance it seems simple, but it's an open ended question. Like any good assessment, it leaves room for programmers to express different solutions and degrees of aptitude. The problem went a bit like this: Write a function that efficiently takes an array of integers and returns the sum of the two largest integers in the array. The array can be made up of any valid i....

Developers running their apps on tsuru can choose plans based on memory and cpu usage. We were looking at adding I/O usage as one of the plan’s features, so one could choose how many I/O operations per second or bytes per second a container may be able to read/write. Being able to limit I/O is particulary important when running a diverse cloud, where applications with different workloads and needs are running together sharing multiple r..
