Making Oh-My-Vagrant (OMV) more developer accessible and easy to install (from a distribution package like RPM) has always been a goal, but was previously never a priority. This is all sorted out now. In this article, I’ll explain how “mainstream” mode works, and how the RPM work was done. (I promise this will be somewhat interesting!) Prerequisites : If you haven’t read any of the previous articles about Oh-My-Vagrant , I’d recom..

Many executives are getting tired of the “D” word. Yet, even longtime market leaders with a reputation for innovation-led growth are stumbling in the face of fast-changing customer expectations. Importantly, this is not a technology industry issue. It’s a business issue that is cutting across industries and geographies. Here are a few examples.

Okay, that’s definitely a bit of a dramatic title, but I am definitely not happy with this turn of events. This actually happened two weeks ago, but I’ve been busy vacationing in LA (staying in a hotel, with a real room!) and haven’t been posting. Anyway, as you can see, someone has hit and damaged my front-left blinker, dislodging it from its socket and ruining a perfectly pleasant afternoon. They didn’t leave a note, not that I should b..

After trying and playing some new stuffs(except M preview) released in Google I/O, I have found some trivial things to take care of. In this part, we will see how GCM 3.0 gives advantage to server team to send notifications and how implementing it affects Android Development.

First some background… One of the many lessons I’ve learnt from my Linux HA / Storage clustering project is that the Debian HA ecosystem is essentially broken, We reached the point where packages were too old, too buggy or in Debian 8’s case - outright missing. In the past I was very disappointed with RHEL/CentOS 5 / 6 and (until now) have been quite satisfied with Debian as a stable server distribution with historicity more modern pack..

So you have finished your app and tested it on the simulator. Everything looks good. You’re now ready to proceed with testing on your iPhone. You select the “Send iOS Debug Build” menu item and wait for the build server to work its magic, but then you’re faced with a notice that iOS builds require a valid certificate and provisioning profile. What a hassle! If you’ve done any iOS development (not just Codename One) I’m sure you’ve hit thi....

Usability tests are manual tests used to check that the user interface is understandable. The focus of the tests are to ensure that product meets its intended purpose. These sort of tests can be subjective and are usually impossible to automate. It is important to differentiate usability testing from simply showing an interface to someone and asking them “Do you understand how this?”. It is usually done by creating a scenario such as “Can y..

There is a fantastic article by Matt Giuca about mistakes programming language designers make and made with regards to Unicode support (or lack thereof): The importance of language-level abstract Unicode strings . He notes that only Haskell gets it right. (Maybe Rust got it right since then?) Winter gets it right as well - strings are treated as sequences of Unicode chars, not sequences of bytes. The encoding (UTF-8) is a hidden..

My least favorite topic in the world is ‘Women in Tech’, so I am going to make this short but I think it’s something that needs to be said. This industry is fucked. Ever since I started speaking at conferences and contributing to open source projects I have been endlessly harassed. I’ve gotten hundreds of private messages on IRC and emails about sex, rape, and death threats. People emailing me saying they jerked off to my conference tal..

Mutation testing is a technique used to verify that tests are providing value. Mutation testing involves modifying the given program in small ways. These could include changing boolean checks such as if a condition is True to being False. A mutated version of code is known as a mutant. For each mutant a the test suite is run against it. The tests when run over the mutant version should have a percentage of failure. Where a mutant is not cau..

Playing Witcher 3, a GPU-intensive game on a 2015 fanless Macbook I’ve written about using EC2 as a gaming rig in the past . After spending some time and getting all sorts of feedback from many people, I’m re-writing the article from before, except with all the latest and greatest optimizations to really make things better. Now we’re using things like NvFBC for graphics card H.264 encoding, using the built-in SSD for better hard drive p....

There are a lot of Java API’s and Frameworks which rely on static methods and the sort. Arguably, this is a bad OOP practice, but let’s not enter this particular subject just yet.

I think we can all agree that testing one’s Rails project is a good thing. I think we can also agree that those tests should be run on a regular basis (i.e. after every change). I think it’s a logical conclusion then that having a continuous integration environment setup for one’s project would be considered ideal. This is really pretty easy for open-source projects, since a number of companies provide free support for them.

In 2014, I helped an organization form and start a group of internal Lean-Agile coaches as part of an organizational transformation. Prior to that, I trained many people, coached many teams and facilitated multiple meetings and ceremonies. But I had never formally trained another coach except for pairing with him or her to train him or her on-the-job.

When we introduced Codename One initially we limited the API to CLDC level which is roughly a subset of Java 1.3, we then added support for a subset of Java 5 and we are now adding Java 8 language features! Thanks to some work from Steve and the great work done by the guys from the Retro Lambda project we were able to add compatibility to the major Java 8 features, most notably lambda expressions. This is highly experimental and s..

PostgreSQL is becoming the relational database of choice for web development for a whole host of good reasons. That means that development teams have to make a decision on whether to host their own or use a database as a service provider. The two biggest players in the world of PostgreSQL are Heroku PostgreSQL and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. Here's a detailed comparison.
