As I discussed in a previous article , creating a beautiful user interface that behaves appropriately across multiple devices can be a challenge, what with the vast array of screen sizes that your app may be deployed to. Codename One provides you with some power tools on this front. E.g.: Multi-images Pixel to Millimetre unit conversion (approximate) On-device image scaling In this article, I would like to share with you an..

Math and computer science are full of inequalities, but there is one that shows up more often in my work than any other. Of course, I’m talking about $$\displaystyle 1+x \leq e^{x}$$ This is The Inequality. I’ve been told on many occasions that the entire field of machine learning reduces to The Inequality combined with the Chernoff bound (which is proved using The Inequality). Why does it show up so often in machine learning?

Such programs are super annoying. I had this problem on my computer - some program is occasionally stealing window focus, resulting in being switched out of full-screen games at inopportune times etc.. So I made a program to detect such annoying programs - https://github.com/glaretechnologies/focusmonitor . I figured out the offending program is C:\Users\nick\AppData\Local\Akamai\installer_no_upload_silent.exe. Dear Akamai: please f..

Exactly a year ago today we flew from Berlin to Tenerife to depart on a sailing trip across the Atlantic on the Finnish sail training schooner T/S Helena . The Grid had just reached 10.000 founding members, and it was time to charge batteries before the next big push towards the beta. I had sailed on Helena once before, on a weekend trip in the Turku archipelago . But crossing the Atlantic would be a more interesting adventure. F....

We became infatuated with icon fonts a while back and used them quite a bit, recently we added the FontImage class that made them really easy to use. However, up until now you had to download a font. Look up the value and enter it in. This was OK but not ideal in terms of syntax/availability especially for simpler apps. Google’s material design includes a really cool mobile friendly icon font and using that for all our built..

At Cerner, we use Chef to automate our deployments across a very large distributed system comprised of many thousands of nodes. While we employ ServerSpec and Test Kitchen extensively to test our Chef recipes, this still doesn’t identify all possible failure scenarios. In a large distributed system such as ours, we occasionally run into connectivity failures between machines due to network ACL issues. This could be due to a variety of reaso..
