As some of you may know, Lemma has an interactive dialogue system that lets you exchange text messages with an AI character. I implemented every conversation manually in code (well, scripts ) until this week, when I got fed up and decided to automate the process! Like the last article in this series , my system has all the hallmarks of a Poor Man's solution: developed in-house, tailor-made, simple, and based on free and open so..

As a Feed Wrangler subscriber myself, I’m glad to hear that this has not only become a profitable and sustainable business for David Smith, but an intellectually fulfilling one as well full of many more potential avenues of exploration. Feed Wrangler is right now at the cusp of its Instapaper 4 moment, right after Marco Arment sold the service to Betaworks: very much in need of improvements that it will undoubtedly receive in short order an..

A lot’s happened with Gastropoda over the last few days, but progress on new features has slowed down because I’ve started working slightly differently. Instead of just porting everything from the JS version as quickly as possible I’ve started prototyping features and then going back and improving the implementation after each new thing is in. I get pretty impatient wanting to move on to the next feature as fast as possible, but taking the ..

Yes — I agree with everything in this article from Sid O’Neill, from the lessons that ought to be applied generously when driving during the winter to the appropriate etiquette on the internet. We could all benefit from slowing down a little and realizing that everyone else has as many problems as we do, and that completely disregarding the validity of another’s existence, much less the validity of the challenges they face every single day,..

There must be something in the water — over the last few months, a surprising number of writers have gone independent, each with varying degrees of success: first Brett Terpstra , then Matt Gemmell , followed by Sid O’Neill and Ben Thompson soon after. Personally, I think this is wonderful: these great writers have left their distracting nine-to-five jobs to focus on the thing they love and that I love to read; fantastic. However, two..

Late last month, Federico Viticci wrote a great article about his iOS 8 wishes. I agreed with some of his suggestions, disagreed with the necessity a few, and consider still others a bit too niche for Apple to have focused much time and energy, if any, on over the last twelve months. By the end of his piece, I had decided to write out my own list in preparation for WWDC, as we all begin to turn our attention towards the impending unveiling ..

After getting an intense look at Docker last night, I firmly believe that it is going to be the most disruptive server technology that we've seen in the last few years. It fills a much needed hole that's currently managed by very expensive solutions and it's being actively funded by some of the biggest players in the market.

Analyzing S3 and CloudFront Access Logs with AWS RedShift

pIt#39;s not really a surprise that we deal with fairly high volumes of user traffic at theScore. We use AWS for pretty much all of our hosting needs and their two object distribution services - CloudFront and S3 - are two of the most heavily used offerings in our environment. S3 provides file storage for essentially unlimited data, split across as many quot;bucketsquot; as you would like to create. Separate from that is CloudFront, which i....

Incredible words from Rohan Anderson on living a meaningful life. In particular, those of his fifth paragraph struck me especially hard. I was sorely tempted to extract the relevant paragraph and paste it below, but I will not deprive him of the credit he so deserves for writing this piece. I sincerely hope you will go check it out.

It has been roughly 4 years since I quit my industry job and decided to become a consultant. Before making my decision, I remember searching the Internet to see if I could gain any insight into what to expect. Unfortunately, there just didn’t seem to be many people sharing their own experiences about what it was like to go from an industry job to IT consulting. Quite a bit of time has passed since I became a consultant and I just wanted..

One of our clients, a large media group in Latin America, came to us with a mobile project. Their online television division wanted to ensure viewers could watch their favorite programs at any time, anywhere. After the successful launch of their iPhone app, we were brought in to build an Android application with video-on-demand.

The recent “Is TDD Dead?” hangout between DHH, Martin Fowler and Kent Beck has made the level of dissatisfaction about too much mocking and stubbing when writing automated tests pretty clear. DHH expressed his strong opinions about fundamentalism around tests that can’t access collaborators. This has also been a key point in Martin’s recent post. The three of them claimed to “mock almost nothing”.

A design critique session can be tough. Some people don’t feel comfortable enough to give an honest opinion and limit themselves to giving positive feedback. Others will only observe the negatives. And most folks base their critique on their own biased aesthetic viewpoint rather than focusing on the purpose of the design (form follows function, remember?). These and a number of other reasons can turn a design critique session into an endles..

iOS allows us to send a push notification to trigger a numeric badge on the application icon, this is something you could do with Codename One for quite some time although it was mostly undocumented. You could send a push notification with the type 100 and the number for the badge and that number would appear on the icon, when you launch the app the next time the default behavior is to clear the badge value.

I made it to Thursday afternoon with only three episodes here, as woefully underpopulated as last week’s issue had been. But then, as they say, a miracle happened: all of a sudden every show I turned on wowed me, and before I knew it, I had the sprawling list you see stretched out before you. A sprawling list of, as usual, the best podcasts curated from those I listened to over this last week; it doesn’t get much better than this. Unfortuna..

If you've ever setup a web-app on a Linux server, chances are that you've setup a MySQL server at least once. On the off chance that you haven't, we'll do a quick crash course now: apt-get install mysql-server It might seem like I'm being a bit sarcastic. I am, though not by much. I suspect that most of the instances that I've seem running have had no configuration past what comes stock.

Una de las cosas que son más comunes a la hora de diseñar interfaces en Android son las interfaces Holo. Actualmente, el elemento que es más común — en conjunto con los menús laterales y las ActionBar — son los elementos tipo tarjeta, bastante comunes en el Play Store. Hay varias alternativas de implementación. La que más se repite es hacer un nine patch, que requiere cierto esfuerzo, pero lamentablemente, el resultado no es pixel perfect, ..

According to the Hauppauge website, the Western Digital Live Hub works with the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q TV tuner. It does not. The Hauppauge app does the channel scan, but freezes when you try to change channels. In other words you have to reboot the WD Live box whenever you want to change channels. That doesn’t count as working in my books. Just sayin’… A bit of Googling has shown that 950Q hardware Rev B may have worked, but the ve..

Gatling is a powerful open-source Performance Test tool released in December, 2011. It was also mentioned in the Thoughtworks Radar 2013 and 2014 as a tool worth trying. Gatling is a lightweight DSL written in Scala that comes with the interesting premise of "treating your performance tests as production code".

Getting a different team to take over the development of an application brings in challenges from multiple perspectives. There will be differences around processes, engineering, as well as culture. Larger transfers would also involve changes to infrastructure. For long, the industry has done a disservice to this field by calling it “Knowledge Transfer”. Knowledge transfer is but a subset of the scope of activities involved in this exercise.
