I’d like to open this week’s post by covering some things we do and try to avoid on stackoverflow. I try to upvote your questions/answers whenever I can and most of us should upvote questions that are decent especially from a person who has low ranking and might not have the stack overflow experience to phrase their question properly. Points in stackoverflow are important as they provide you with more capabilities and allow you to p..

For fun (and profit!) I’m trying to see how many checking bonuses I can get. Since it’s super easy to set up direct deposit at work - it’s just through a web portal - I can add, remove, or change the amount going into bank accounts at will. I got to keep track of what accounts I have open. Just to get an idea of what I’ve done, here’s a table:

The NetBeans plugins.netbeans.org site has been down for another weekend and has been down again today. This isn’t ideal as we like the convenience the official plugin center affords in our update process. However, this blocks installs and updates of our plugin most of which originate from NetBeans. As a workaround we decided to relaunch our own update center which we will manually update with each plugin to allow you to install t..

This is #3 in a very long series of posts on Stack Overflow’s architecture. Previous post (#2): Stack Overflow: The Hardware - 2016 Edition We’ve talked about Stack Overflow’s architecture and the hardware behind it . The next most requested topic was Deployment. How do we get code a developer (or some random stranger) writes into production? Let’s break it down. Keep in mind that we’re talking about deploying Stack Overflow ....

You start moving trivial bits of code into classes, with the anticipation that you might use it one day. Stop. On naming, semantic clarity trumps brevity. Yup, the verbosity may be worth it.

For years we treated support with a “we’ll meet our developers where they are” attitude which is problematic now that we have more than 6 free support channels! Notice that we didn’t include the email/phone support for pro/enterprise users in the list of 6 channels… We try to respond to every query within 24 hours in stack overflow and the discussion group: StackOverflow – please try asking any technical question here.

Truthfully, I’ve been doing a pretty awful job at keeping you guys updated with what I’m actually doing, truckwise. The last time I even showed off the interior in all its shanty glory was almost a year ago. In the intervening interval since my last Home Improvement update, I’ve completed a few fairly large truck projects. By “large”, I don’t mean anything that requires any real technical competence, but certainly larger than fixing the ..

Containers are all the rage right now. At the very core of containers are the same Linux primitives that are also used to create application sandboxes. The most common sandbox you may be familiar with is the Chrome sandbox. You can read in detail about the Chrome sandbox here: chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_sandboxing.md . The relevant aspect for this article is the fact it uses user namespaces and seccomp. Ot....

Historical note: Codename One’s UWP target was discontinued in release 7.0.229 . This post is preserved for historical context only, and its build/setup instructions no longer apply to current Codename One projects. Fabricio just submitted a pull request that Steve merged to provide support for Windows Phone 8.1 in our new UWP (Universal Windows Platform) port of Codename One. This is huge news as it means we can fully migra..

Introduction Advertising is a competitive market. This probably won’t be the first time you hear something like that, but it’s absolutely true. For every move you make, you have to consider your competitors are getting a step closer to you. Speed and precision are key to the success of the business, but how can we guarantee these with the stress of such a large system? Is that pricing strategy better than what we are running right now? Wou....

The primitive integer types supported by CPUs are finite approximations to the infinite set of integers we’re all used to. This approximation breaks down and some computations will give results that don’t match real integers, like 255_u8 + 1 == 0. Often, this mismatch is something the programmer didn’t think about, and thus can easily result in bugs. Rust is a programming language designed to protect against bugs; it does focus on outlawi....

Well, I am thinking this may be my last summer, but cannot lose even a part of pleasure in the old-fashioned art of idleness. I cannot stand aghast at whatever doom hovers in the background: while grass and buildings and the somnolent river, who know they are allowed to last forever, exchange between them the whole subdued sound of this hot time. What sudden fearful fate can deter my shade wandering next year from a retu..

We’re releasing new plugins today for the 3.4 release, if there are major regressions we’ll push out new versions for the release itself but if they are stable they will be the actual release versions. We had a great week on stackoverflow as well with many excellent questions. As usual this post isn’t exhaustive and doesn’t cover all the questions asked, but it should provide a sense of the top discussions of the week.
