AdRoll — Part I As a high school math teacher, I never imagined that I would become a software engineer, but here I am. After teaching and running a math tutoring business for five years, I began to yearn for a new challenge and started to tackle Codecademy’s Python course . By the end of the section on for loops, I was hooked; the structured way of thinking that programming required jived with my math brain, and I knew that I needed to....

Picture This It’s midnight and my flight has just landed in Boston, two hours behind schedule. I step out into a crisp September night; the air never tastes like this in California. It’s refreshing, but despite it only being 9 PM on the coast that I left from, I’m exhausted. It’s been a tiring few days of tying up loose ends before the trip, and staring at a dim screen on a dark plane wasn’t exactly conducive to sustaining my conscious..

Containers are not a new thing, but implementing them was always a little more complicated than it needed to be. Docker made great leaps in simplification of containers and set the world on fire from there. Let’s look at why.

A new version of Eve , the REST API framework for Humans, has been released today. Following the 0.6 milestone released one month ago, v0.6.1 introduces some fixes and few new important features. Upgrade is strongly encouraged. As always, a changelog with full list of updates is available.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been plagued with an issue within the OSX El Capitan App Store, that resulted in me being unable to install any updates or install/purchase new applications. At first, I wondered if this was due to my hasty upgrade to the GM of OSX 10.11, which almost certainly was going have a few bugs and issues being the initial release of a new OS. After a few attempts at trying to fix the issue using Google, it seemed th..

Qora is a bit Sword & Sworcery but chunkier. (Excuse the window decorations - I’m having to do this in a coffee shop without FRAPS because Spectre is going to make me too sad to play any games when I eventually get home after TWO DAMN HOURS of RELENTLESS DRIVEL.) I’d like to point out here is that there’s no voice acting (rapidly becoming a pet hate of mine) in Qora - which means you can have lots of nice lovely textual conversations.

I went into Prison Architect expecting a subtle, brooding, sneaky moral choice experience much like Papers Please (highly recommended, btw) … and was promptly set about the head by a two by four as the first mission was to build an execution chamber and then execute someone. Way to go with the subtle and brooding there, champ. It’s just grim. But hey ho, maybe that’s just the first “shocker” mission to loosen you up for some lovely subtle …..

Imagine being able to step forward and backwards as code runs in your debugger. Imagine being able to do an test run multiple times with exactly the same sequence of instructions and values, right down to memory addresses and IO. Imagine being able to run an executable thousands of times and then do all that in the one execution that triggers the rare bug that’s draining you of life… The rr tool is amazing. A Debugger Skeptic I’ve n....

Finally getting around to Amnesia and … meh. Games with voice acting really grind my weasels. It’s just such a waste of resources and effort and then all your dialog has to be plotted for voice and BLEUGH. It actually took a while to get to this point - it turns out that you need to turn off “Display Scaling for High DPI” or the screen will be zoomed and the mouse will jank about like Keith Richards double teaming meth with crack.

I was recently an invited speaker in a series of STEM talks at Moraine Valley Community College. My talk was called “What can algorithms tell us about life, love, and happiness?” and it’s on Youtube now so you can go watch it. The central theme of the talk was the lens of computation, that algorithms and theoretical computer science can provide new and novel explanations for the natural phenomena we observe in the world.

I am large, I contain multitudes." —Walt Whitman, Song of Myself My super power is not being one thing, but many things. I am an example of the new fluid careerist. What’s a fluid career? It’s a way through life that leverages a collection of experiences, expertise, roles/titles and spans multiple industries. Fluid careerists navigate ambiguity and are nimble. We’re restlessly driven by curiosity, have a passionate need for excellence and a..

Using Google Analytics to Drive a Browser/Device Strategy

It can often be difficult to devise an appropriate strategy when it comes to testing on browsers and devices. Exhaustive testing of all browser/device combinations is an exercise in futility; we must consider a smarter and more realistic approach. Using user data to drive your strategy will help you to focus your efforts ‘where they are needed most’, while adopting a risk-based attitude to coverage and defects will help you prioritize ‘what..

The Long Dark is like a first-person Don’t Starve - except prettier and more difficult. This is the only game I’ve seen which lets you pick metric (correct!) and 24 hour clock (correct!). Confusingly, even though the “Feels Like” went from -20º to -15º whilst I was playing, my temperature was heading downwards faster than everyone’s favourite* blue team. I do like a realistic inventory, though. You get some good scenery.

Real-world benchmarking of cloud storage providers: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage

I really wouldn’t mind moving from Dropbox to S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage, or any other provider Recently at work I’ve been using the fancy new 4K iMac , yet when I’m at home or out-and-about, I use my equivalently-sexy MacBook . I do the same stuff on both computers though, it just so happens that one is way faster and has a bigger screen, and the other is slower though portable and much more practical for my lifestyle. ....

One of the perks of the truck that I always mention is its mobility. Regardless of where on the planet I put it, the box is still my room, and once I’m inside, the details of the surrounding world are reduced to nothing more than background noise. Theoretically, I can just park anywhere and make that my home for the night. In reality however, I very rarely spend the night anywhere other than a corporate parking lot, save a few digressions..

Feedback is an important tool for any professional. If you are a Team Leader, giving feedback becomes an essential tool for your success. As a Team Leader, one of your most important goals is to help the team to improve continuously. Many people are aware of the power of feedback, but they are also aware of the difficulty in giving it. As children we are educated in "right and wrong" and but giving feedback is not so easy because it's not s..

Everyone knows that big cross-organizational change is difficult. However, not all organizational transformation is the same. This is particularly true for businesses looking to become fundamentally more entrepreneurial, the lean enterprises that create original market value as a repeatable core competency. The transformation to becoming a lean entrepreneurial enterprise faces unique challenges for business models; it relies on silo bustin..

Like one of those old Flash games where you had to propel your penguin between a bunch of planets to hit the black hole1, you have to leave one planet, get the star, and go through the door. This is why I keep my hair violently short - I’m fed up of being harassed by animal spirits for free rides. My luscious locks have snared me a space bunny!

I recently released version 0.3 of my simple_parallel crate, which builds on Aaron Turon’s crossbeam to resolve the stability and safety difficulties : the crate now works with Rust 1.3.0 stable, and offers safe data-parallel for loops and maps. I still don’t recommend it for general use, but I think it’s a neat demonstration of what Rust’s type system allows, and hopefully inspiration for something awesome. simple_parallel ....

In this last minute before 3.2 finally comes out we have a batch of new features & updates. Some of the last minute features that went into Codename One include: shorter more terse syntax for creating forms, migration wizard for the new GUI builder & dialog adaptive sizing. Better Syntax For Populating Containers and Toggle Buttons Codename One is slightly verbose. In part its due to Java’s tradition of verbosity but some of that come..

A Wizard’s Lizard – which sounds like a dirty, dirty euphemism – seems to be heavily inspired by another game. See if you can guess which one. PLOT. This screen, dark though it may be, contains all the clues you need to know about which game heavily influenced this one. It all seems to have gone a bit Dark Souls here - I died and now I’m unhollow? Or hollow-but-angel?
