I’ve added two modules recently to the deep dive course in the academy . These are a part of a trends together with the SMS activation posts I’ve done over the past couple of weeks. These are all preparations for the upcoming Uber demo that will launch before the end of the year . So the first module I added is a security module which I think I mentioned before, the one I added just last week explains the process of working with nativ..

I wrote two posts about the SMS activation process . In the first I discussed using the Twilio API via REST and in the second I discussed the native interfaces for SMS interception we can use in Android. Now it’s time to put this all together and create a single API that’s fluid. It should include the full UI process but be flexible enough to let you design your own experience.

It is always great fun to try and find patterns in vast amounts of data. Sometimes you find causation, other times just spurious correlation, but it’s a great excercise and the insight you get can be surprising. For a while, I have been wearing a light sensor that measures the surrounding light. The light that is around us, everywhere we go. It’s intensity and color. These graphs below are just two data points from January and April. Each..

A common assumption is that computers can’t have emotions. But there is a strong philosophical argument that AI systems have had emotions for many decades now. Before making an argument, we need to define “emotion”. That definition shouldn’t require consciousness … Continue reading →

Success ! Well it’s been quite a week. Having had an unexpected lull in my contract work, I decided to work on something fun. I use jekyll for most of my static sites, and I quite like it. It’s still a mistery to me why I decided to build a clone of it. But anyway, one week later, here we are. Stati can now build all my ex-Jekyll sites properly. Actually this blog is now generated with Stati! Architecture I read this How does Jekyll w....

Introducing Jwala, a Resource Manager for the Apache Community Apache Tomcat and Apache httpd are hardened, scalable, and reliable open-source solutions. Widely adopted, these solutions are commonly used to host and load-balance Java applications. Configuring and managing a small set of elements is relatively easy, but once you start scaling out your application and platform, things get complicated. Questions such as “How do I update the he..

Product development flow (flow) is the rate at which our products are developed, from idea to deployment. Good flow means that products should pass through the development cycle quickly and continuously.

In Agile projects, the goal is usually broken down into discrete units of work that describes a feature or ability to perform an action from an end-user perspective. These blocks of work are usually referred to as ‘user stories’. That leads us to an obvious question: what is the best way to break your work into user stories? Like so many other things in life, the answer to that is: it depends.

What makes a retailer ready for the future? How can retailers best prepare themselves to compete with category-changers like Amazon? The ripples caused by advances in technology and shifts in what people spend their money on are well publicized in retail. Especially zealous reporters pen terms like ‘retail apocalypse’ and ‘death of retail’. But a host of retailers are bucking the trend and finding growth in challenging times.

Offline build is a pretty complex topic which is why we opted for the online build process in Codename One. It allows for simple install/build and doesn’t require a Mac. However, if you work for a bank or a government agency using a cloud solution is sometimes an insurmountable roadblock. That’s why we introduced the offline build option to replace our old private cloud option. It isn’t ideal, building offline essentially forfeits some of....

Simple add the following to the end of your CIFS mount command:

We like to think that building a service ecosystem is like stacking building blocks. You start with a function in your code. That function is hosted in a class. That class in a service. That service is hosted in a cluster. That cluster in a region. That region in a data center, etc. At each level there’s a myriad of challenges. From the start, developers tend to use things like logging and metrics to debug their systems, but a certain cl....

After years of preparation and debate, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was finally approved by the EU with enforcement starting as early as May 2018, at which time those organisations in non-compliance will face heavy fines. In this post we explain how that impacts companies using open-source and how they can protect themselves.
