As the JavaScript port has matured we started adding new demos specifically for the clock demo , charts & GeoViz . You can now see all of them live on the web and also try the Android or desktop versions of these demos to get a better grasp of what Codename One can do and how far has the JavaScript build advanced since our 3.0 release. Plugin Update We wanted to release the plugin update this week but we ended up postponing ..

With the bed out of the way, I was ready to try bigger and better things. The next thing on my list was a place to hang my dress shirts and pants. In a real-world setting, this would be called a “clothes rack”. So I took another trip down to Home Depot , which is quickly becoming the most important place in my life, and I picked up some screws, a screwdriver, some clothes hangers, two mounting brackets, and a 6 foot long wooden rod. If I..

One important part of this whole process is turning the back of a truck into a livable, comfortable space. I have a number of plans and ideas on how to do that, and I’m going to chronicle my attempts at turning them into realities in this “Home Improvement” series. This one is a super basic one, but hey, baby steps. If I plan on living in this thing, I’ll need a place to sleep, naturally. So I wandered over to Craigslist, found the sketchie..

Hello fellow readers, This post is about a little adventure I had with maths. I'm currently reading a book called `clever algorithms`, I go along at my own pace doing researches on hard subjects or things I forgot from high school. Digging through the cross entropy algorithm I had to take a break and learn more about distribution. Namely, I wanted to refresh my mind about the normal/Gauss law.

From Wikipedia , skeuomorph ˈskjuːəmɔrf is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues from structures that were necessary in the original. Examples include pottery embellished with imitation rivets reminiscent of similar pots made of metal and a software calendar that imitates the appearance of binding on a paper desk calendar.

I've been a fan of Microsoft during my whole technical career. However I don't recommend Microsoft any longer for server workloads, and haven't for years due to the fact that the Linux ecosystem is far less expensive and has more innovative people working on it and sharing what they do openly. However, I am very impressed with the direction and leadership of Satya Nadella. This post The "New" New Microsoft first appeared on Dan Stroo..

So I’ve already laid out my pros and cons of why I’m actually doing this, but there’s another aspect to it that I didn’t really explore in that post, and it basically revolves around the idea of minimalism. Background We do things big in America. We love our malls, our big meals, our bigger televisions, and our huge trucks and SUVs. We live in a time of unprecedented opulence and convenience, but that doesn’t come without its o..

When you move into a new home, a trip or two to Home Depot isn’t just likely, it’s inevitable. Turns out that holds true even when your new home is a box truck. Below, I’ve detailed the unfocused and wide-ranging list of items I found myself purchasing. Graffiti Remover. I didn’t quite find the truck in the most perfect condition. One tire was gouged pretty badly and the left side had been tagged up pretty good. The tire is all fixed, a....

I have reached an interesting milestone in our functional programming language Winter - Winter now can do auto-parallelisation, auto-vectorisation, and even both at the same time :) Auto-parallelisation means that code is automatically executed in parallel in multiple threads. Auto-vectorisation means that vector (SIMD) instructions are automatically used instead of scalar instructions. This means that e.g. 4 or 8 multiplications can ....

I recently began a new position at Canonical. I joined this company in particular to give myself more opportunities for growth. Now, when I say that, people tend to assume I’m talking about a managerial track. I’m not sure why they tend to jump there, but it’s not what I’m referring to here. I’m talking about technical growth. I feel at the top of my game when I’m learning something brand new, and I needed a company that facilitated that.

Google has just announced that it is deprecating cloud storage and effectively a major part of App Engine that we are relying on. To make matters worse the window of time to its removal is quite short so we don’t have enough time to rewrite and adapt all the various API’s and tools that rely on this API. We have already started the process of migrating off App Engine completely both due to rising costs and Google’s horrible service/..

So here we are, almost a week into living in California. How have things progressed, you ask? Well allow me to tell you! Second Thoughts Arriving in California was comforting, but also a little overwhelming, and my roommate’s words kept echoing around in my head, haunting me. Don’t live in a van. Don’t do it. -Zach B, Roommate for Life I started to second guess myself. Was this really what I wanted? Was I actually....

And here is where things start to get interesting. Since my internship last summer, when I realized the only thing I needed was a place to sleep, and company perks could provide the rest, I’ve done a little bit of research into how exactly this whole van situation would play out. In my search, the most encouraging thing I found was this: Google Security came by very early on, but once they determined that the guy in the mysteriously..

Graduation The weeks leading up to my inevitable departure from UMass Amherst are but a blur at this point, a torrent of papers, finals, and tough goodbyes. I remember having to check the “One Way” box when purchasing my flight, which at the time seemed like exile, or even a death sentence. I remember sitting in Marcus Hall for the last time, frantically typing away at my Machine Learning final, wondering when I’d next see any of the p..

It took me a few days to code up this blog, so I’m going to write a couple of posts back to back just to catch the site up to speed with my life. I don’t know exactly when I had the idea to live in a van, or where I first read about people who had done it. What I do remember, distinctly, is finding out how outrageously expensive it was to live in the Bay area.

Innovation is losing its luster. I see it in meetings and conversations every day. After years of being the darling of leadership gurus, the craft of creating original value is facing a growing skepticism that borders on antagonism.
