Almost exclusively old shows this week with but two outstanding exceptions. Turns out listening to back catalogs pays off; who would’ve guessed? Permalink.

Hi, This is something I wanted to do with my HypeMix app, the aim was that the user would be able to navigate around the app but, on any page, open the draw to see the currently playing track etc. Luckily, now Windows Phone 8.1 is in line with WinRT, we have the idea of Frames for Navigation. Using this I created a FramePage, this is the first page the app navigates to and it contains the Draw Content, Frame (for subsequent pages we n..

In the last installation of this series, we started using Java iterators to decompose the monolithic REPL (read-eval-print-loop) into modular compoments. This let us start decoupling the semantics of the REPL from the mechanisms that it uses to implement read, evaluate, and print. Unfortunately, the last version of rpncalc only modularized the command prompt itself: the ‘R’ in REPL. The evaluator and printer are still tightly bound to the....

Last week was a huge update , so this week is a bit smaller. First, we're hard at work on the animations. Here are some early WIP animations: There are also a ton of new player sounds to accompany those animations, but those aren't very screenshotable. :) I also vastly improved the god ray effect from last week, so everything is much smoother. Here's another 4K screenshot of it:

Shortly after Marco Arment and Dan Benjamin started Build & Analyze in 2010, I bought Instapaper. I did not buy this app out of any particular need for it, though, but rather out of a desire to give Marco a little something in exchange for the hours upon hours of enjoyment he had provided me in the form of his podcast. Fast-forward just a few months, however, and — just as I do now — I had begun to use Instapaper daily. Even so, it took m..

It’s summer!!! Swedish weather has gotten so nice over the past week or so. It’s still a bit uncertain and there are cold days, but there have been a few unbelievably nice days where not being outside feels like some sort of crime.

When GNOME shell breaks, you get to keep both pieces. The nice thing about shell failures in GNOME 3, is that if you’re able to do a restart, the active windows are mostly not disturbed . The common way to do this is to type ALT-F2 , r , «em>ENTER>. Unfortunately, you can’t always type that in if your shell is very borked. If you are lucky enough to have SSH access, and another machine, you can log in remotely and run this script:

One of my more popular blog entries is on using Ember.js without Ember Data . Recently I’ve been going through my old entries and making sure they don’t have any glaring mistakes, and I realized this would be a good opportunity to convert my emberreddit project to ember-cli . This screencast shows how you can build an Ember.js application without using Ember Data. It starts off simple and then shows how to build advanced stuff like ..

A couple of months ago I wanted to experiment with the serial console of an old router I had laying around. Not wanting to buy a UART to RS-232 adaptor, I decided to make one myself. After all, I had some spare MAX3232 left over from a previous project (for which I still haven't blogged).

I have been doing a lot of work with the Sitecore CMS recently. Once of the things you quickly learn is how it relies on GUID’s for pretty much everything. This means of course when you start testing and need to supply GUID’s into your tests that you end up with lots of GUIDs that look like the following sprinkled through your code {11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111} Today I remarked that we should be using things like “deadbeef” for t..

I have problems remembering people’s names. Really, I’m not good at it. And that’s no exception with computer technology. That’s why I’ve written this post, to try to improve and persist those names in my head. Let’s see who is who in nowadays computer science. Methodologies

I decided to port my blog to Octopress and move away from Wordpress after all these years. The reason for this is twofold: I've really gotten used to working with vim, git, github and the surrounding workflow. Static site generators are all the rage currently, so who am I to miss out? Why Octopress and not something based on Python like Pelican or Nikola ? I simply decided to do something that will get me out of my comfort zone and..

With every single article Rohan Anderson writes, I become more convinced that his is a lifestyle I would love to live. A hard life, no doubt, but a good one all the same. And isn’t that what we are all after? Permalink.

Last week, we went over how to quickly build a reverse proxy using NGinx. While this solved our immediate problem of hiding n+1 servers behind our n ip addresses, it could still stand a bit of work. As it stands right now, we don't have any access control capability. The Setup Let's assume we have two sites that need to be proxied: public.example.com and internal.example.com1 and 2. upstream internal { server 10.

This post is intended for people with a little bit of programming experience and no prior mathematical background. So let’s talk about numbers. Numbers are curious things. On one hand, they represent one of the most natural things known to humans, which is quantity. It’s so natural to humans that even newborn babies are in tune with the difference between quantities of objects between 1 and 3, in that they notice when quantity changes much ..

Software development is mostly horseshit. We’re busy trying to build things, trying to estimate when things are done, trying to work with other humans to make sure you don’t break anything when you launch. All of these things can go horribly, horribly wrong without much malice or without much intention. It’s still very difficult. via Why doesn’t GitHub talk about their product roadmap?

Writing an article that gets read by tens of thousands is exhilarating. If you’ve written an article, it’s hard not to obsess over the analytics.

In reply to noemailsorry@gmail.com. Thanks for the comment. The post is old. If I had written it today, I would say just use moderncv.

Another short week, unfortunately. Short, but no less excellent — of that, I can assure you. So sit back, relax on your day off tomorrow, and enjoy last week’s best podcasts: Permalink.
