Hello fellow readers, In this post I'll discuss what programming and computing are for me. Computers are tools. Their functions can be summed to entertainment, utility, and information. It's common to find persons loosing themselves to a tool, slave to their creation. Programming is something useful. It's a big domain where you learn languages to instruct a machine to take actions. Those instructions can range from outputting things (ma..

Shifting gears a bit, I have decided to add in a few papers,books, articles that I found quite riveting last few weeks. Papers Starting at the beginning – with the greatest minds of our century – A. Einstein. He published 5 papers in a single year, 1905 a.k.

On Ubuntu 14.04 (and maybe later) Qemu does not come with GlusterFS support. To compile it, you have to fetch the sources and enable flags. You also need to get the build dependencies, and some debian package tools. You can install the dependencies as follows: $ sudo apt-get install build-essential glusterfs-common devscripts dpkg-dev $ sudo apt-get build-dep qemu You also need to execute the following command, but it might be better to cr..

pAfter struggling for a while to determine how to convert from one timezone to another in Python I thought I#39;d write a quick little guide on it. Even if the only person it helps is me a few months from now I#39;ll consider it a success!/p pIt all started when I received the error codeValueError: Not naive datetime (tzinfo is already set)/code. A little bit later I received the error codeValueError: astimezone() cannot be applied to a nai....

Docker is getting a lot of hype these days, for good reason. There are plenty of articles touting the merits of Docker but most are written without context and are limited to examining the the benefits of Docker independently of its’ practical everyday use in a software development project lifecycle. This article aims to examine the benefits of Docker within the context of a software company with multiple developers working on multiple pr....

So this is the week of the Ubuntu Online Summit, and many of the sessions are discussing Snappy. As you may know, Snappy is currently pretty geared toward embedded, headless devices. However, it is the successor to Click, and eventually the phones will be based upon it. To drive that effort forward, a few colleagues and I had a session (update: I used to link to the video here, but the Summit server is no more) where we discussed the path f..

We’ve been working on some pretty exciting things recently trying to get them out of the door. As part of that work we added some API’s specifically one that probably should have been a part of Codename One 1.0: Properties file support… Working with properties files under Codename One should be identical to working with them under standard Java only instead of using java.util.Properties we need to use com.codename1.io.Properties. ..

I recently translated great article — Errors are values by Rob Pike — and we discussed it in our podcast Golangshow (in russian). One thing I was surprised about is that even experienced Go developers sometimes do not understand the core idea of that article. Looking back, I remember my first impressions when I read it for the first time. It was similar to “It looks like Pike just adds some complexity to what could’ve been solved gra..

Warning: this is a rant Recently, I have made great progress in my journey towards Haskell enlightenment. I finally see how many of the little pieces of the Haskell puzzle fit together. At this point, I feel empowered to go forth and write useful programs. I read through the source of Scotty the web framework the other day, and I was very pleasantly surprised that I understood how it works. I absolutely love Haskell. I love th....

Beware: this article is from 2015 and in Elixir world couple things changed a bit. Here you can find the updated version of this blog post . What is wrong with gen_event? I never used gen_event, I think it is a bad pattern. At first it may look like a controversial statement, but I heard a lot of those complaints from other people. Originally, I heard that exact statement during the presentation made by Garrett Smith about pattern langua....

In a previous post I linked to all the various internet sites about the candidates I could find. In this post I am going to list the claims made by the political postcards I’ve received in the mail. Especially since the election is tomorrow, I’m probably not going to verify these claims, at least not here.

After nearly two years in (Part time) development, Amounts 2 has finally been sent off to Apple for review. This will be a free update to all users, and I think everyone will love it. The UI has been overhauled to support the new screen sizes, icons have been updated, and now the app supports... Read more » The post Amounts 2, In Review first appeared on Swift Fox Software LLC .

MongoDB is perhaps the most-widely-mocked piece of software out there right now. While some of the mockery is out-of-date or rooted in misunderstandings, much of it is well-deserved, and it’s difficult to disagree that much of MongoDB’s engineering is incredibly simplistic, inefficient, and immature compared to more-established databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. You can argue, and I would largely agree, that this is actually part of MongoD..

It’s an ongoing argument in the industry with strong advocates on either side. Should designers learn to code to bring additional value to their work and projects? Or should they stick to being really good at design? The answer? Well, it depends.

To brick and mortar or not to brick and mortar? On one hand, eCommerce born retailers from Casper to Birchbox to Zappos in the US and Pepperfry.com in India are rushing to open physical stores in either pop-up or permanent form. Even Amazon is exploring opportunity in the offline realm with their pick up centers and the recently announced bookstore in Seattle.

Java is Superior To React Native In Practically Every Way

I got into a discussion with a colleague on the Java vs. JavaScript subject, which is a problematic subject to begin with. He then mentioned how great React Native is, I decided I have to look into it and maybe grab some ideas for Codename One. There are some nice ideas there, but none of them is revolutionary or exceptional and most of them are pretty old news for Codename One developers running in Java 8.

THE END. Tiny Keep has the distinction of being the last. But sadly not the best. This is actual a fair reflection of me this evening. They’ve bizarrely decided to use normal* console controls - left stick does movement, right stick controls the camera. This makes it nigh-on impossible to control reliably, especially when you get to combat later. Managed to set myself and a bunch of enemies on fire. Oops.

Update 3, Nov 2 2015 (PM): Well, it’s been…strange. First, it seems my account was finally deleted by Livecoding.tv (thank you!) After being up all night with libel posted all over it, hours after Jamie Green (the other Livecoding co-founder) and Sam Altman (Y Combinator president) replied to the Hacker News thread claiming they were trying to do something, something finally happened.
