In reply to cldrope on Hacker News. Aaaaahhh ... Jython! Someone actually mentioned Jython! Jython is MY language. But then again I am not an IT professional, so I can choose what I like. If only Jython HQ were a bit more switched on: they are geniuses, that goes without saying, but there isn't even a forum dedicated to ..

Communication is at the heart of human relationships. Human relationships is what allow us to build a common future. If you want to change this common future you need to learn how to communicate about the future you want and why it should matter to others humans. If they know why it matters, they will be more encline to listen how to get there. Then, you will be able to tell them what to do to make this a reality.

I wrote about searching bash history with Emacs Helm some time ago. Since then, I've learned about completing-read to generically handle simple Emacs completions (very handy for supporting Helm, Ivy, and Ido completions). Here's a simple way to combine completing-read and the compile command to enable fuzzy searching your compile history: (defun ar/compile-completing () "Compile with completing options." (interactive) (let ..

The perfect storm: incumbents in publishing, media, entertainment, and retail have been displaced by unencumbered upstarts, who have reshaped the competitive landscape in their own image. In the wake of the 2008 crisis, financial institutions (FIs) were weakened by new regulations and a loss of public confidence.

This has been a busy week with new features and some interesting announcements. We are releasing a plugin update today with a lot of fixes especially to the GUI builder which should be far more stable. NetBeans announced they will be moving to Apache and we volunteered to help . We’ll post some thoughts about this next week. Java One is coming back, again we chose not to go. I wanted to write a bit about it but didn’t find the time..

Hello fellow readers, In this post I’ll list some of the projects and experiments I worked on or finished since last time, or planing to work on in the next few weeks.

This is something we run into every week. A new Codename One user asks why “feature X” from Java isn’t supported. In this post we’d like to explain the “bigger picture” or why less is more… Supporting the full Java API in Codename One would be a mistake that will lead us down a problematic path. It would cost you a great deal in functionality, performance, portability, stability and more!

At JavaZone this year, I gave the talk “Computer Vision for mobile Java developers”. Here, I live code finding conference badges in a picture. The coding is iterative and interactive and I use it to illustrate Haar cascades, Canny edge detection, Otsu thresholding, contour detection, erosion and dilation and contour analysis. In my experience, developing a good algorithm with OpenCV is about setting up yourself for feedback. I read an examp..

Now that the interns have mostly gone back to school, it’s a good time to look back at what they did while they were here. We had a bumper crop – more than 30 dev interns between our London, New York and Hong Kong offices – and they worked on just about every corner of our code-base.

The material design floating action button is a powerful tool for promoting an action within your application. Quite a few Codename One developers implemented with their own interpretation of this UI element and with the coming update we will have an official implementation. The FloatingActionButton is a round button that resides on top of the UI typically in the bottom right hand side. It has a drop shadow to distinguish it from th..

Today I've released a new version of my blog and homepage. Unless you're reading this a long time in the future and this design has been superseded by a new design, you're looking at it :) It’s been a long time since I updated my blog design last. The previous design was a modification of the standard WordPress theme from January 2008. It wasn’t responsive, and was primarily based around the standard blog format of a “newest first” list o..

This is a quick cheat sheet taken from a great little book called “The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” by Al Ries & Jack Trout. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in marketing … even developers! The Law of Leadership It’s better to be first than it is to be better. The Law of the Category If you can’t be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in.

Circles and completely round border sides are problematic for multi-resolutions. You need to draw them dynamically and can’t use image borders which can’t be tiled/cut to fit round designs. Up until now we recommended using background images or changing the design entirely but now we have a new option: RoundBorder. We designed the RoundBorder to enable two distinct types of borders: Circular borders – e.g. Android floating action ..

SQL can be a powerful language for reporting. Whether you’re just exploring some data, or generating reports that show month over month revenue growth it’s the lingua franca for data analysis. But, your data isn’t always in a SQL database, even then if you’re using Postgres you can still likely use SQL to analyze, query, even joing with that data. Foreign data wrappers have been around for years in Postgres, but are continuing to mature....

When we designed the icon for the new Kitchen Sink demo we tried to use material design principles. We thought it would look reasonable on iOS but it looked awful. So we decided to adapt the design and create a separate yet similar icon for iOS. This is actually quite common but many developers aren’t aware of how easy it is to do these sort of things. The build process for Codename One is mostly transparent and you can replace/cust..

The amount of complexity a single human programmer can handle is fundamentally limited. Until our brave cyborg future comes, even the best programmers can only hold so much in their minds at once. And the number of programmers that can productively work on a single project is limited by the

Update: You can find an updated and significantly improved version of this post in my book “Pro .NET Benchmarking” . In the previous post , we discussed DateTime. This structure can be used in situations when you don’t need a good level of precision. If you want to do high-precision time measurements, you need a better tool because DateTime has a small resolution and a big latency. Also, time is tricky, you can create wonderful bugs if....

Three Ways to Make Mexico Pay for Trump's Mexican American Wall

One of Trump’s most (in)famous campaign promises is the several hundred mile long wall along the Mexican-American border. The oddest thing about this is how he intends to pay for it - from Mexico’s pocketbook. How the heck would anyone in their right mind think Mexico would pay for the wall? Even Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said it’s not going to happen .

I am writing this on behalf of all developers/engineers out there. Please stop with the take home coding challenge questions. Really. Just stop it. They are a lazy and frankly an unprofessional way of sorting the wheat from the chaff. Before closing your browser in disgust hear me out on this one and hopefully I can convince you of the error of your ways. There has become an alarming trend these days of companies during the hiring process..

It’s that time again, when I realize that I’ve been neglecting people’s questions for too long and they’ve reached a critical mass. It’s time to clean out the closet. Not the literal one pictured above, though I should probably do a write up for how I threw that together too. I just read your leather strap solution to your drawer problem. Have you considered magnets? Indeed I had, and in fact I use some neodymium magnets to hold a....
