The best working environment I had the pleasure to work in had a strong emphasis on testing and software quality in general. Product teams were encouraged to spend extra time ensuring that everything worked over shipping before it was ready. The transformation it went through was incredible. Having come from a culture very much wild west through to where it was. An example of the advantages this brought was that before adopting this culture..

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 ] RAM is the new disk , at least in the In-Memory computing world. No, I am not talking about Flash here, but Random Access Memory – RAM as in SDRAM. I’m by far not the first one to say it. Jim Gray wrote this in 2006: “Tape is dead, disk is tape, flash is disk, RAM locality is king” ( presentation ). Also, I’m not going to talk about how RAM is faster than disk (everybody knows that), but in fact how..

We can easily update Raspberry pi firmware in raspbian by running the command rpi-update, But in kali linux we dont have rpi-update command by default. To install the rpi-update in kali, run the following command: sudo curl -L --output /usr/bin/rpi-update https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update Then, to update your rpi firmware, run the following command: sudo rpi-up..

The acceleration of change impacts technology, consumer expectations, and economic models. Nowhere has this been so profound as in the decease in the lifespan of companies on the S&P 500, from 67 years average in 1920 to 15 years today.

Codename One already has two separate socket APIs: a low-level API similar to java.net.Socket and a higher-level event-based approach . So why do we need WebSockets? Here are 3 reasons: 1. Simplifies Server Code With low-level TCP sockets, you can’t just add a servlet to your existing Java web app to handle socket connections. You have to create your own server, and have it listen for connections on some custom port. You have to crea..

I enjoy living in a truck. It’s simple and efficient, it’s a choice I made and intend to stand by. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m proud of living a truck, but I certainly don’t have a problem telling people about it (as evident by the fact that this blog exists). When I meet new people, it normally comes up as a matter of course, and I’m more than happy to talk about it and all the quirky things that come with it. That said, this installmen..

Traffic is a strange beast. Sometimes it comes from nowhere at all, wreaking unspeakable havoc on your itinerary, eviscerating your plans with startling efficiency. Other times it’s entirely expected, and entirely unavoidable. In any case, nobody particular enjoys traffic (I certainly don’t), it’s an environmental tragedy, and it’s ruthlessly wasteful. By all accounts, traffic is a Bad Thing™. Call it schadenfreude if you want, but on day....

Ideally, user research and testing is conducted in person at a location where a person performs an action or task. There are multiple factors that affect user behavior. As a user researcher, you need to read and understand your user’s body language, and know where it is appropriate to probe and when. How is this research impacted when it’s not possible to be physically located with your test audience? With the rapid pace of innovation and i..

Our initial implementation of asynchronous offline messaging in Bleep[1] used an encryption scheme which provided authentication and confidentiality, but not forward secrecy[2]. This meant that if the private key of Alice or Bob was compromised, Eve could use the key to decrypt any of their offline messages she had previously captured. Providing forward secrecy for […]

It’s about time we got back to computational topology. Previously in this series we endured a lightning tour of the fundamental group and homology, then we saw how to compute the homology of a simplicial complex using linear algebra. What we really want to do is talk about the inherent shape of data. Homology allows us to compute some qualitative features of a given shape, i.e., find and count the number of connected components or a given s..

Palette is an open source lightweight color picker for the most famous color schemes, like Material Design, Flat UI, iOS, Windows Phone etc. Despite being color blind, I like apps and websites with the right selection of colors. And sometimes when starting a new project it’s easier to pick a color palette from the existing ones. Or, if you want to meet the guidelines for the certain platform - you’d better use the colors they offer.

Winter now has proper runtime support for first class functions, and anonymous functions (lambda expressions) with lexical closures. A simple example: def main() float : let f = \(float x) : x*x in f(2.0) returns 4.0. In this example an anonymous function (that computes the square of its argument) is created and assigned to f. It is then called with the argument 2.0. Since functions are 'first class', they can be returne....

The more I use C# as a language for writing things the more I am convinced that its approach really is the best language approach out there. The unit test support is excellent which allows development speed to be just as fast as any dynamic language (Python, PHP, Perl). The static typing catches so many issues before you get to runtime and allows sweeping changes without breaking things. Unlike Java it has the var keyword (saves time ..

It has been a long time outstanding, “to do item”, to start collecting feedback and net promoter scores from the tens of thousands of customers that AdRoll has.

Satismeter injects a prompt at the bottom of our Dashboard asking how likely you a....

Imagine you are in a line at an airport, waiting to go through immigration. The line ahead of you is huge and there's only one (not very excited) agent serving that line. You're sweating, because the air-conditioning is being fixed at this moment, so it's as hot as it gets.
