When I moved back to the PHP version of Gastropoda I implemented snail death, so that snails actually die when their energy reaches 0. This resulted in all of my snails dying because they were both far below 0 (the cron job that depleted their energy daily continued to run while I was on a different branch).

Everybody is talking data in online industries, but how can organisations harness these insights and turn them into real sources of competitive advantage? One way is by blending statistics and machine learning techniques with scale.
YourStory Interview - boyter.org - 12 years ago - eng
Aditya Dwivedi recently did an interview with me about searchcode. You can view it here over on yourstory.com and it covers how the idea came about, some of the issues and where I think the future lies for the project. Going to include an extract below in case bit rot sets in. How this Aussie coder is making life easy for techies around the world with searchcode You are busy building your product and then someone comes and tells yo..
Precluding Success - zacs.site - 12 years ago - eng
Quite some time ago, I started this draft with a simple premise: precluding success is failure of at least one effort in a given area. Put differently, those who have yet to fail in their chosen profession can never attain greatness in that field. Along with this supposition, I included one more stipulation as an addendum to the previous statement: one can, however, substitute knowledge, to a degree, for failure. Regardless of the knowledge..
When I was a young child, I remember listening to an old radio receiver with my grandfather, looking for morse transmission. 30 years later, I take the opportunity to get my radio amateur license in the US, it was not difficult (Technicial license is easy), especially cause US radio amateurs are using the metric system (almost all the time …), the only difficulties were to learn some terms and simple formulas from french to english and to k..
Interviews with dying people reveal there are four things that matter when you die: Please forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you.
Before we launched our recent promotion for JavaOne tickets with Java Code Geeks we sought out guides/tutorials about running such a promotion, unfortunately we didn’t find anything useful so we had to improvise and work by instinct. This post will also cover some of the statistical results about the Java community so if this is the reason you are reading this post skip down for some interesting takeaways.
If you've spent any time looking at the items that I post, you've probably gathered that I'm a developer, but that I have a rather strange habit of not talking about code. I talk about build automation, source control, compiler output, virtualization, proxy servers, and continuous integration, but I barely talk about matters of code. So if I love coding, why do I spend my time talking talking about DevOps rather than code?
Greedy algorithms are among the simplest and most intuitive algorithms known to humans. Their name essentially gives their description: do the thing that looks best right now, and repeat until nothing looks good anymore or you’re forced to stop. Some of the best situations in computer science are also when greedy algorithms are optimal or near-optimal. There is a beautiful theory of this situation, known as the theory of matroids. We haven’..

This situation really is crazy. Part of the problem, though, at least where Twitter is concerned, is that Twitter does not use the t.co shortener until after a tweet is posted, which means after it imposes the 140 character limit. Especially for me where every link to one of my own articles that I post starts with “zacjszewczyk.com/Structure”, this makes not using my own shortener — in this case, Bitly — completely impractical. Even then ..

For years it’s been impossible to read a magazine or attend a seminar without having it drummed into our heads that customers are at the center of a successful business. That’s become an obvious truth. What’s not as obvious is that over the last dozen years we have actually progressed through three distinct eras of customer engagement and that the one on the horizon today is going be catastrophically disruptive.
Do you really listen to all the people you lead? Not only listen to what they say, but effectively process the message, put in some thought and have an opinion about it. “My boss doesn’t listen to what I say”, - this gripe is prevalent in every industry, and I’m sure you’ve been through this yourself or know someone who has complained about it.

Over the weekend Steve posted a really cool demo showing off some of his work on the new iOS graphics pipeline, specifically the perspective transform. Perspective transform allows us to rotate elements in a 3 dimensional space to create pretty nifty effects. Right now this is only supported on iOS devices (since Java SE doesn’t really support it, only thru FX) we are still looking into the Android implementation
Hi, This is how I ended up writing a custom DNS server to redirect network traffic.. code is here . I recently got a smart TV and I wanted to see what it was up too, having heard all the stories of them leaking personal information left right and center. Fiddler is my go to tool for any HTTP inspection, so I went about look for a proxy setting in on the TV … there isn’t one.
To the Node and back - liza.io - 12 years ago - eng
I spent a couple of weeks porting Gastropoda from PHP to Node.js after caving in to peer pressure and hearing “PHP sucks” from every side imaginable.
I hear the following phrase once a month, sometimes more frequently: "I couldn't do what you do." This is a nice thing to hear from colleagues and clients, but it is also nonsense. Not only is visual design a skill set that anyone with the inclination can learn, it's something that everyone on a digital product team already does.

An overview of Ruby, jRuby, Rails, Torquebox, and PostgreSQL that was presented as a 3 hour class to other programmers at The Ironyard in Greenville, SC in July of 2013. The Rails specific sections are mostly code samples that were explained during the session so the real focus of the slides is Ruby, "the rails way" / workflow / differentiators and PostgreSQL.

Thoughts on Glass - zacs.site - 12 years ago - eng
The problem with Google Glass is not that it is inherently creepy, but rather that it has the potential for many uses of dubious morality; and as our minds happened upon those possibilities in the wake of Glass’ unveiling, and we paused to ponder an appropriate reaction to these eventualities, it became socially acceptable to walk around smacking these expensive devices off the faces of those who deigned to wear them. Like a small child who..
Working with web applications in NodeJS is great. Using the same language and libraries on the client and server simplified the thinking. And NodeJS has fast tests and restart for a super quick edit-verify cycle when you’re coding. I like to write tests to verify the server-side and client-side logic, but do you know that the whole solution really is working? You can of course test your service manually after deploying, but that becomes ted..
A friend of mine had a photovoltaic system (consisting of 14 solar panels) installed on his rooftop last year. As I was looking for another raspberry pi project I convinced him I would setup a reliable monitoring solution that will lead him to an access to the data in real-time data. The current setup comes with an inverter by the company Kostal. The Kostal Piko 5.5 runs an internal web server showing statistics like current power, daily en..

Transaction-based loyalty as we know it today needs to evolve into an omni-channel holistic experience.
In Part 1 we discussed some of the reasons behind moving to a service oriented content management system, and went into some detail on how to commit an item using the Github API. Thus far I have managed to skate over the details of how we mapped the operations the content editors wanted to perform (save, publish) to the functionality that git provides (commits, branches).
