I’ve been writing apps for a long time now, stretching back to the Windows Mobile days, something completely new dawned on me in the last few months ago as I took had a bit of break for Wedding planning and moving house – For a long time I’d not been using agile, I’ve not been lean. As it the natural reaction to these things I first went to blame others “Store certification forces me to release complete apps”, “I can’t iterate often with ..

My server had an unauthorized login attempt today. Really, it was more along the lines of 2,000 login attempts. Why is my server under attack? Simply because it is on the internet. See, this is actually a normal day for a small server. Last week, there were just over 12,000 attempts. So, business as usual for a server looks something like walking through a zombie filled wasteland armed only with a cowbell and a belt made of bacon.

satellite One of the most interesting questions posed in the last thirty years of computer science is to ask how much “information” must be communicated between two parties in order for them to jointly compute something. One can imagine these two parties living on distant planets, so that the cost of communicating any amount of information is very expensive, but each person has an integral component of the answer that the other does not.

I'm participating in 7dfps this year, which means I'm making an FPS game in 7 days. Here's what I've got so far: In Soviet Russia, you are bullet. In my 7dfps entry, moving and shooting are the same thing. Here's my favorite form of humor: physics glitches. Here's me getting killed: Here's a better shot of the city: Lots to do still.

This post is a logical continuation of the Jon Skeet’s blog post “When is a string not a string?” . Jon showed very interesting things about behavior of ill-formed Unicode strings in .NET. I wondered about how similar examples will work on Mono. And I have got very interesting results. Experiment 1: Compilation Let’s take the Jon’s code with a small modification. We will just add text null check in DumpString: using System ; ....

Introduction In part I of this post, we learned about the error interface and how the standard library provides support for creating error interface values via the errors package. We also learned how to work with error interface values and use them to identify when an error has occured. Finally, we saw how some packages in the standard library export error interface variables to help us identify specific errors.

I started writing this post on the 8th of November and have just now gotten around to finishing it. Figuring out what my snails are doing and why is getting close to impossible. I’ve got snails eating each other, or refusing to eat proper food, or for some reason not mating even though their sex drive should be pretty high. I used to print stuff out to one big default log file (laravel.log), but this soon became unmanageable because I was..

I recently reinstalled my dev box to put on the shiny new Windows 10 Technical Preview. Once I had installed everything, check out https://chocolatey.org/ if you want to make life easy when rebuilding, I thought I was good to go. Alas my brand new install and Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 worked but, when I went to start working on a code review, I realised that I was missing loads of functionality I’d come to rely on. After a while of hu..

This originally appeared on Quora and is well worth reading. Becoming a good programmer is incredibly difficult and it doesn’t happen quickly. We can’t expect to plant some trees and have 2000-year-old redwoods grow overnight, regardless of the demand for them. via Why Don’t More People Work As Programmers? – Forbes .

The fact that we manage the switches in our data centres differently than any other server is patently absurd, but we do so because we want to harness the power of a tiny bit of silicon which happens to be able to dramatically speed up the switching bandwidth. beware of proprietary silicon, it's absurd! That tiny bit of silicon is known as an ASIC , or an application specific integrated circuit , and one particularly well perfo..

One of the things that I love about living in a Unix environment is that 99% of the time, remote administration only means a quick trip to the console. That's 99% of the time where my desktop can look something like this: Of course, 99% doesn't quite make a whole. There's the matter of the other 1% of the time where a GUI is required. Earlier on in my journey with Linux, I would have tried to setup a VNC server or to work around the need fo..

This past weekend I exhibited Lemma at the Ohio Game Dev Expo . It was an awesome time. Extra Life raised over $9,000 for charity (yes, it is in fact over 9000). The Oculus Rift was a huge hit! I worked on various improvements right up to the expo. First, some new textures for moving platforms and doors: This is the first texture I've created that has any kind of directional meaning. The reason is that until this week, I ..

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged last….I’ve just been incredibly busy. This past month, I’ve been teaching a video game class at the college, writing the 4th edition of my Linux+ book for Cengage on an accelerated schedule, and managing four technology faculties……all at the same time! But today, I got a new computer: A Mac Pro (the higher end 6-core Xeon model with dual AMD FirePro D500s). I simply connect it via HDMI to my Al..

Yesterday afternoon I decided to make a concerted effort to stay abreast of world events going forward. Especially given the continued spread of Ebola across America, I could no longer focus solely on happenings within the tech industry as I have for the past two or three years. No sooner had I made this decision, though, than I came across a ponderous and subsequently maddening article over at NBC News titled “New Jersey Releases Nurse Qu..

Many of the open source projects we use and contribute to are under the ASF umbrella, so supporting the mission and work of the ASF is important to us. We’re happy to announce that Cerner has now increased our sponsorship of the ASF to become a silver-level sponsor. Open source continues to play an integr..
