As March 11th, Pivotal dropped its financial sponsorship for Groovy , and despite of not really endangering it, as Groovy is an already well established language with a great community backing it, it raised many concerns, as the required boost a platform like this deserves was missing until now. Furthermore, its creator and project leader until lately, Guillaume Laforge, also recently stepped back in order to focus in Restlet. Also the....

Here are the slides of a presentation I did at the IOUG Virtual Exadata conference in February. I’m explaining the basics of some new Oracle 12c things related to Exadata, plus current latest cellsrv improvements like Columnar Flash Cache and IO skipping for Min/Max retrieval using Storage Indexes: Note that Christian Antognini and Roger MacNicol have written separate articles about some new features: http://antognini.ch/2015/03/exad..

It’s been a little more than a year since Java 8 was released (2014/03/18) and you might think that it’s a little too late for a What’s new in post. In fact latest public update available is 8u40, so let’s review not only what was initially included in Java 8, but what else has changed during this first year, up to release 8u40. Lots of changes were included in the initial Java 8 release, being probably the most notable of them, in my....

Last time we defined the Hamming code. We also saw that it meets the Hamming bound, which is a measure of how densely a code can be packed inside an ambient space and still maintain a given distance. This time we’ll define the Reed-Solomon code which optimizes a different bound called the Singleton bound, and then generalize them to a larger class of codes called Reed-Muller codes. In future posts we’ll consider algorithmic issues behind de..

As you may know Google is ending support for Google code effectively forcing us to migrate to github. While we like a lot of things about github their 1gb per workspace restriction makes the migration process rather difficult since we have to manually delete some histories for binary files we committed into SVN. Making matters worse, Google’s so called “automated tools” are ridiculously simplistic and don’t support anything like thi..

Want to re-evaluate defvars and modify variables? eval-defun (bound to C-M-x) can help. From the manual: If the current defun is actually a call to `defvar', then reset the variable using its initial value expression even if the variable already has some other value. (Normally `defvar' does not change the variable's value if it already has a value.) Treat `defcustom' similarly.

The 4th edition of Dungeons & Dragons often gets a bad rap for being too video gamey with encounters that drag out forever. However, it’s a very elegant and well-designed game that balances combat well, especially playing on a grid. It’s been my feeling that 4e would make an excellent video game. More specifically, 4e […]

I accidentally spilled tea on my Microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard (Referal link). After cleaning up the visible mess I continued to use the keyboard as normal as everything still worked. But the next day the keyboard didn’t work anymore. The lights were still flashing but the keys I pressed didn’t show up on the screen. Seems like a great opportunity to see what it looks like inside, so it’s time to pry it open! To see the inside....

This post originally appeared on Jason’s blog, Codeabout. Coming from Python, for the most part, I felt right at home in the Clojure REPL. However, one of my trustiest old tricks in the Python interpreter didn’t work nearly as well in Clojure. I’m referring, of course, to the “what the hell was that called again?” […]

Just a quick post to list some updates to searchcode.com The first is a slight modification to the home page. A while ago I received an email from the excellent Christian Moore who provided some mock-ups of how he felt it should look. I loved the designs, but was busy working on other issues. Thankfully however in the last week or so I found the time to implement his ideas and the result is far more professional to me.

Update on Rigel and response from DjurAkuten Update: When I first wrote this post I kept all clinic names anonymous. I am now un-anonymising one of the clinics (DjurAkuten), where this whole chain of events was triggered in the first place and which is now trying to claim that Rigel was already sick/had a flaccid bladder when we brought him in for a routine surgery as a healthy kitten despite their own records stating otherwise.
