On Thursday 2015–02–05 I gave a talk as the awesome SFNode Meetup entitled "Background Jobs for NodeJS".


I constantly hear how enterprises are poor at innovation, bad at product development and unresponsive to business change. So it begs the question, why do so many organizations get it wrong? And what are the key factors to consider when trying to innovate in large organizations?

The new property cross demo shows off the usage of webservices, JSON parsing, infinite scroll, URLImage and lots of other Codename One features. It uses a UK webservice that allows listing properties for sale in the UK. We created a set of videos explaining how that demo works and the various features within it, check them out: Discussion Join the conversation via GitHub Discussions.

TL/DR: Regular expressions are fast, until they aren’t. How I got a 20x performance by switching to string functions. With the new version of searchcode.com one of the main things I wanted to address was performance. The previous version had all sorts of performance issues which were not limited to the usual suspects such as the database or search index. When developing the new version one of the tasks listed in my queue was to profile ..

Further to my earlier post on XenServer storage performance with regards to directly attaching storage from the host, I have been analysing the performance of various SSD storage options. I have attached a HP DS2220sb storage blade to an existing server blade and compared performance with 4 and 6 SSD RAID-10 to our existing iSCSI SANs. While the P420i RAID controller in the DS2220sb is clearly saturated and unable to provide throughput ..

Intro At Infoxchange we use XenServer as our Virtualisation of choice. There are many reasons for this including: Open Source. Offers greater performance than VMware. Affordability (it’s free unless you purchase support). Proven backend Xen is very reliable. Reliable cross-host migrations of VMs. The XenCentre client, (although having to run in a Windows VM) is quick and simple to use. Upgrades and patches have proven to be more reliable..

DbInspector is a useful library that helps us to view our database in the app. I have forked it and tried to add some small features to make this awesome library more awesome, and even more useful.

Introduction HackerEarth uses django framework at its heart. We use two third party django packages for the purpose of user authentication and session management: django-allauth : Provides pre-built modules for email-based as well as all popular social authentication mechanisms. django-redis-sessions : Allows storage of user session data in redis (a memory based data store that writes on disk) for fast retrieval. We used MySQL earlier ....
