UX designers, we need to change the way we work. We need to stop wasting so much time. We have a well-deserved reputation for retreating to creative studios for lengthy design phases - only choosing to resurface once we have perfected solutions that are pretty, but not necessarily practical. We need to end the pursuit of design perfection and focus on delivering value faster. We need to embrace the Lean movement and streamline the way we wo..

Lets face it, Do Not Track (DNT) is dying a slow death. Content providers are either ignoring the setting, or giving lip service to DNT while taking no action behind the scenes. Worse yet, if users are able to find the browser preference, they don’t understand its purpose or value. Enabling the feature is confusing, and quite inconsistent between browser vendors. Goggle Chrome hides the feature behind an “Advanced” barrier. Features and....

Boyhood, the movie everyone was talking about at the end of last year, and which took Best Picture at the Golden Globes, helped me understand some key Lean concepts as well as the importance of taking a more holistic view on software delivery. Here’s how.

Externalizing application configuration values into a properties file is a common pattern in enterprise applications, because it gets the environment-specific settings out of the code and avoids the need for environment-specific builds. Being able to deploy the same binary to multiple environments (Dev, QA, UAT, Production) is a Good Thing. I came across an interesting quirk in an application recently. I needed to change the port of the a..

Have you thought about attaining continuous delivery in your project? And how about continuous delivery with a sometimes broken build? It may sound dangerous, but well, it's actually not the end of the world and it's more common in day-to-day projects than you think. We agree that continuous delivery should be made with all-green build pipelines, and that is what we aim for. This article shares the experience from one particular project.

As part of tracking a bug in iOS media playback Steve hit upon some code that recreated the OpenGL framebuffer pretty much all the time. This was there to allow device rotation to work, but was implemented incorrectly… After this fix animations and UI is much smoother on iOS, if you notice any potential issues let us know. In other news we just fixed two big GC issues in the new VM. The first was a rather complex edge case with GC fir..

I’ve updated some of my ASH scripts to use these 4 arguments in a standard way: What ASH columns to display (and aggregate by) Which ASH rows to use for the report (filter) Time range start Time range end So this means whenever I run ashtop (or dashtop ) for example, I need to type in all 4 parameters. The example below would show top SQL_IDs only for user SOE sessions from last hour of ASH samples:

I love stupid dreams. I’m in love with the dreams that begin with “I know this is stupid but, what I’d really like to do is …”. I love dreams of unexpected possibility. You should too, because soon they will be the only dreams that can save us in an economy turned upside down. I Know This Is Stupid But … Amy’s on the phone and begins, “I know this is stupid but …”.

Edit: This post was written many years ago. Back then I was a lot more strict on how other people did things and I now understand this was a mistake. I'm leaving this post here as a reminder of past mistakes. Note: this is a rant on how people use git. When I was introduced to git, I was told I should read this great post on git commit messages by Tim Pope . Ever since, I've been trying to follow that system in all of my commits ac..

It’s been a long weekend, but now that it’s finally over the long and tedious migration to github is almost completely behind us. Make sure to update your URLs to the new repository at https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/ . There are still some references to the old google code repository in the plugins etc. so you should update them when we release the next update. Furthermore, if you used our custom update centers make s..

I have an amazing time machine that lets me think better about projects. This is part 1 in a series of blog posts exploring the use of a time machine. Let’s say that you have a project that has been running for a couple of months. Looking back at your issue tracker and other artifacts, you notice that it’s hard to see what has been done and especially how much time remains.

While there is much talk about collaborative and interdisciplinary teams, many organisations still support a model of 'design for' rather than 'design with'. User experience matters are for designers to think about, which separates the team in unwanted silos. Encouraging the entire development team to take part in the ideation sessions is a simple step that can break some barriers and lead to improved team relationship and better product ou..

Last time we defined the Hamming code. We also saw that it meets the Hamming bound, which is a measure of how densely a code can be packed inside an ambient space and still maintain a given distance. This time we’ll define the Reed-Solomon code which optimizes a different bound called the Singleton bound, and then generalize them to a larger class of codes called Reed-Muller codes. In future posts we’ll consider algorithmic issues behind de..
