The last few weeks, I’ve been developing an app for the substitution plan of my school (hence the name: “Vertretungsplan” is German for substitution plan).

In the Beginning... ...there was no inheritance and no composition, only code. And the code was unwieldy, repetitive, blocky, unhappy, verbose, and tired. Copy and Paste were the primary mechanisms of code reuse. Procedures and functions were rare, newfangled gadgets viewed with suspicion. Calling a procedure was expensive! Separating pieces of code from the main logic caused confusion! It was a Dark Time.

A while back, I announced that I had moved my blog over to HTTPS. What about HTTP though? Do I serve content over HTTP still, or did I doom existing links to be forever broken? As you could guess by the title of this post, neither of those was satisfactory. Instead, I added four lines to our NGinx configuration telling it to listen on port 80 and respond to every request with a permanent redirect pointing to the same path under https://josh..

Prioritisation’ is a concept that product owners and business stakeholders often have issues about. I asked myself why and came up with only one answer - “Fear of not getting what they wished for in their product.”

Our pricing has been inconsistent with the rest of the industry for quite some time specifically the price of the basic subscription which is a losing tier. Based on Industry norms the basic subscription should be far more expensive and doesn’t come close to covering the costs of running Codename One’s extensive cloud infrastructure. So on June 1st we will raise the price of the basic subscription to 19USD which is still very afford..

If you’ve followed anything I’ve written about Postgres , you know that I’m a fan. At the same time you know that there’s been one feature that so many other databases have, which Postgres lacks and it causes a huge amount of angst for not being in Postgres … Upsert. Well the day has come, it’s finally committed and will be available in Postgres 9.5 . Sure we’re still several months away from Postgres 9.5 being released, anywhere from ....

Last week I was in San Francisco for Build 2015, the annual conference event held by Microsoft and aimed toward software and web developers. Overall it has been a great experience. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to speak with Microsoft executives, Program Managers and developers about the new stuff they are cooking up and, in general, about that New Microsoft we all have been experiencing as of late (I have a guest post on MSDN Ital..

Have you ever used an iterator adapter in Rust ? Called a method on Option ? Spawned a thread? You’ve almost certainly used a closure . The design in Rust may seem a little complicated, but it slides right into Rust’s normal ownership model so let’s reinvent it from scratch. The new design was introduced in RFC 114 , moving Rust to a model for closures similar to C++11’s. The design builds on Rust’s standard trait system to allow ....

The concept of object safety in Rust was recently refined to be more flexible in an important way: the checks can be disabled for specific methods by using where clauses to restrict them to only work when Self: Sized. This post is a rather belated fourth entry in my series on trait objects and object safety: Peeking inside Trait Objects , The Sized Trait and Object Safety . It’s been long enough that a refresher is definitely in....

The ‘text to get’ model is set to change the way we shop. It’s simple; send a text of what you want and when you want it. An associate will confirm your order and it’s on its way. Great examples include Melbourne based Three Thousand Thieves, a subscription coffee service and New York based Stefan’s head, a ‘concierge of cool’ of sorts, where users register their interest to receive limited edition and exclusive clothing offers.

In Building Microservices, Sam Newman explains why services choreography may be a more appropriate integration model for supporting complex business processes across domains. In this article, I would like to stress the challenges of using a point-to-point integration model, and present services choreography as a foundation of a more expandable microservices architecture, where services are highly cohesive and loosely coupled.

Our iOS port has some pieces that are pretty old and haven’t been touched since we started, one of those things is the IO code which mostly works as we wrote it when we started Codename One. Unfortunately it seems that Storage in iOS is mapped to the iOS caches directory, this directory can be wiped by the iOS device if space on the device is running low. That’s a very rare occurrence which is why we didn’t pick that up until a bug..

A while back Peter Norvig posted a wonderful pair of articles about regex golf. The idea behind regex golf is to come up with the shortest possible regular expression that matches one given list of strings, but not the other. “Regex Golf,” by Randall Munroe. In the first article, Norvig runs a basic algorithm to recreate and improve the results from the comic, and in the second he beefs it up with some improved search heuristics.
