Thoughts and Observations on Today's iPhone 5C and 5S Introduction

I’m a little late to the party, I admit, but John Gruber’s thoughts and observations concerning the iPhone event last week are just as interesting now as they would have been Tuesday afternoon. The interesting trend, I think, as I work through my Instapaper queue from last week reading various writers’ opinions, is everyone recognizing Apple’s strategy with the 5C as exactly what it is: a marketing gimmick designed to give them cause to m..

In the first in a wonderful series of articles, C is for Cognitive Illusion , Horace discussed the positioning of the iPhone 5C, how it differed from past years’ portrayal of the “n-1” product, and what this means for the iPhone line: Permalink.

Far be it from me to step on Horace Dedeiu or Benedict Evan’s toes in my “analysis”, if you could call it that, of this graph Horace posted yesterday, but I do believe it tells us something interesting about how successful Apple believes the iPhone 5C will be. In previous quarters, as Horace’s trend shows, the iPhone grew at an increasing rate with each successive launch. That is, Apple’s device sales did not increase linearly with each n....

After working in Go for some time now, I learned how to use an unbuffered channel to build a pool of goroutines. I like this implementation better than what is implemented in this post. That being said, this post still has value in what it describes. https://github.com/goinggo/work On more than one occasion I have been asked why I use the Work Pool pattern. Why not just start as many Go routines as needed at any given ti....

I’ve recently been corresponding with Denny Dias , from Brazil, who’s converted his blog over to Pelican - and we’ve been helping each other out a bit with building themes and whatnot. He’s written up his conversion & theme building process - and was generous enough to credit me after he borrowed some of my theme’s logic, from this blog’s GitHub repo . As he’s such a nice guy - and as I’ve just borrowed his tagsort jinja filter ..

Since its debut yesterday virtually everyone has lauded Apple for introducing the iPhone 5C. (I refuse to acknowledge Apple’s ridiculous naming convention; 5c? Please. If I wanted to look like a five year old I could forget to proofread my articles on my own. And I’m not the only one miffed at Apple’s new standard: Lex Friedman, in a tweet yesterday: “If Apple is lowercasing the S and C..., I’m going to start capitalizing the ”i“: IPhone 5s..

You hold the encryption keys, which means the NSA holds the keys too. I don’t care for that.

Google hangouts is awesome, its my preferred method for most audio/video calls these days. When running a group call I often dial into a separate phone if I have a better phone available for the group. It also got around the annoyance that when you are typing google automatically mutes you. This for most people is pretty subpar. While dialing in to the hangout can still be nice, you don’t have to do so to get rid of the annoying muting whil..

Here’s a treat for the hard-core Oracle performance geeks out there – I’m releasing a cool, but still experimental script for ASH (or poor-man’s ASH)-based wait event analysis, which should add a whole new dimension into ASH based performance analysis. It doesn’t replace any of the existing ASH analysis techniques, but should bring the relationships between Oracle sessions in complex wait chains out to bright daylight much easier than befor....

Just as PostgreSQL 9.3 was coming out I had a need to take advantage of the JSON datatype and some of the operators and functions within it. The use case was pretty simple, run a query across a variety of databases, then take the results and store them. We explored doing something more elaborate with the columns/values, but in the end just opted to save the entire result set as JSON then I could use the operators to explore it as desire....

If biometric solutions become widely adopted, the tech industry could begin to phase out — or at lea....

If you add a dir directly under app/ Do nothing. All files in this dir are eager loaded in production and lazy loaded in development by default. If you add a dir under app/something/ (e.g. app/models/concerns/, app/models/products/) Ask: do I want to namespace modules and classes inside my new dir? For example in app/models/products/ you would need to wrap your class in module Products. If the answer is yes, do nothing. It will just....

I am working on building code to load polygons for the different Marine Forecast areas in the United States. These polygons need to be stored in MongoDB and there is a special way that needs to be done. It would not have been a big deal if it wasn’t for this fact. There isn’t just one polygon for each area. There is an external polygon and then zero to many interior polygons that need to be stored in relationship. After staring at the ..

The Parrot AR.Drone is quite a lot of fun, and also quite hackable . We recently got one, and the first thing to do was to connect the excellent Node.js ar-drone module with the NoFlo flow-based programming framework. While quite a lot of work remains, it was already very satisfying to see how the drone was able to fly patterns based on the NoFlo graphs we created. This will obviously be more interesting when we have the ....

HackerEarth API v2: Introducing asynchronous callbacks

We had already published HackerEarth API v1 in February, 2012 at http://developer.hackerearth.com . The API v1 was synchronous in nature. This means that your request kept hanging until the code evaluation was done and response was received. This seriously limited anyone from writing robust applications using the API. We have been using the asynchronous API for a long time ourselves at HackerEarth for processing all the code submission....

Hi All, I spent the morning today working on a performance issue I had with paperboys startup time. As they’re isn’t a huge amount of info out there on how to do this on the phone I thought I’d blog along as I worked through the problem. First port of call is the Windows Phone application analysis tool in Visual studio. This will hopefully help me work out what calls are going on at the time when I see the delay.

J. Paul Morrison invented Flow-Based Programming while at IBM in 1969. I ran into the concept in 2011 while trying to figure out a better way to create software. I read his canonical book on the subject, and decided to try and implement it in JavaScript. Thus, NoFlo got started. It has been an honor to have Paul as a mentor in the process. In late June 2013 we flew to Toronto to meet him. What resulted was quite a thorough code..
