I’m currently in the process of porting the NoFlo Flow-Based Programming environment to run also in the browser. While there are some obvious differences in things like filesystem interaction and component loading, the goal here is to reuse as much of the same code as possible between these two platforms. Many of the building blocks are already in place, and so the port should be complete still this week. You can track the work in issu....

Update: the mistakes made in the code posted here are fixed and explained in a subsequent post (one minor code bug was fixed here, and a less minor conceptual bug is fixed in the linked post). In our last post in this series on topology, we defined the homology group. Specifically, we built up a topological space as a simplicial complex (a mess of triangles glued together), we defined an algebraic way to represent collections of simplices c..

I have always had an interesting — if not unique — mentality when it comes to money. Rather than a thing to be desired, I have always considered money merely a means to an end. The physical thing is only worth possessing inasmuch as it allows me to do fun and enjoyable things with people I like. When I take my girlfriend out for dinner, I don’t see the twenty dollars I spend on a meal as the loss of that money; I see that twenty dollars as ....

Knowing when to release and deploy your code can turn into a complicated discussion. In general, In general, I tend to support releasing early and often , for some value of $early and $often . I’ve decided to keep this simple and introduce you to one metric that I use… I think that I am fairly diligent in adding plenty of comments to my source code. I might even sometimes add too many. I create plenty of XXX, FIXME, or TODO tagged com..

When I wrote my first article about Reeder, Changing my Workflow with Drafts and Reeder , I highlighted its lack of reliance on Google Reader as one of the main reasons I chose to go with the RSS app. That was a factually incorrect statement; however, with this announcement , Reeder’s creator Silvio Rizzi announced that the popular iOS RSS reader would add Feedbin support in the very near future, thus ending its reliance on Google Reade..

But percentages can be deceiving and they tell only half the tale of IDC’s predictions. Peering ahead to the future, IDC’s numbers suggest that while the overall market share for PCs will decline, shipments will still increase, if only by a hair. In other words, the demand for PCs isn’t dying down — it’s just that the thirst for mobile devices is exploding.” Permalink.

Imagine a future society that flees into a vast underground network of caverns and seals the entrances. We shall not specify whether they flee disease, war, or radiation; we shall suppose the first Undergrounders manage to grow food, find water, recycle air, make light, and survive, and that their descendants thrive and eventually form cities. Of the world above, there are only legends written on scraps of paper; and one of these scraps o..

During the recent panel debate in Colombo Agile Meetup my colleague Lasantha Bandara asked the following question: How do you start an agile project and ensure room for future enhancements? How can we achieve flexibity at the beginning? This is my answer: Flexibility is about having an acceptable cost of change. Sometimes, the best cost of change is to create something and throw it away early to try something else if it doesn’t work out.

We introduce these topics in our Racket primer, but the average reader will understand the majority of this primer without expertise in functional programming.

As I suspected, I have an almost insurmountable case of coder's block after a full day at work. Nevertheless, things are getting done. In fact, this might be the best thing that's happened for Lemma because it's forced me to cut a lot out of the design and focus on core things. It's the only way I'll ever finish. Screenshot below gives an idea of the new direction. I've dropped any pretense that the game occurs in our world as we know it...

Hi, Following the removal of the BBC News Mobile apps from the store I will be removing the service supporting the live tile functionality on Windows Phone 7.x and Windows 8. This will be completed in two phases. To avoid confusion, on these platforms, users will receive the following in place of the live tile. The service will be disabled and no further updates will be delivered to the live tiles. If you have received this messa..

I just flew home after three months in Minnesota. The TSA agents at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul airport in Minnesota were delightful : the man at the end of the security line checking my ID and boarding pass joked with me as I went through; the agent on the other side of the body scanner couldn’t have been nicer. Then, as I was trying to find my gate on my boarding pass and undoubtedly looking quite confused, a TSA agent that happened to be..

Cerner’s journey with Ruby started in the summer of 2009. We selected Ruby on Rails for rapid development of the Cerner Store to prepare for release at the Cerner Health Conference that year. In three months, with three engineers and a designer, we wrote and released the first version of an e-commerce web application. Two of those engineers, including me, had never worked with Ruby before but quickly realized the power and expressiveness of..
