I released an open source node.js package called wallah . I use it as a submodule in my projects and it allows my build scripts to automatically pre-install my application's dependencies (node, npm packages, python, pip packages) lazily as needed and implicitly when one of my build script commands runs.

This week I overhauled the menu. It's very Valve-ish now: I also distributed a number of mysterious notes around the levels to help flesh out the back story. They're actual 3D objects rendered and lit in the game world. WHAT COULD IT MEAN? THIS REVELATORY NOTE HAS ADDED HEFTY NUANCE TO THE PLOT AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED MY IMMERSION IN THE STORY. Other than that, just lots of level design iteration, scripting, and tweaking..

I’ll be giving a talk at SCALE today about automatically deploying GlusterFS with Puppet-Gluster and Vagrant. I’ll be giving some live demos, and this will cover some of the material from: Automatically deploying GlusterFS with Puppet-Gluster + Vagrant! and it will contain excerpts from: Screencasts of Puppet-Gluster + Vagrant I’ll also be talking about some new upcoming features, and am happy to answer all of your questions! ..

I’m pleased to announce that another paper of mine is finished. This one just got accepted to MFCS 2014, which is being held in Budapest this year (this whole research thing is exciting!). This is joint work with my advisor, Lev Reyzin. As with my first paper, I’d like to explain things here on my blog a bit more informally than a scholarly article allows.

Another comment I posted over on the TechZing Podcast. It was addressing Justin’s comment about bitcoin clones using the same “network” which is true, in that they share the same protocol but each have their own blockchain. Each of the “bitcoin” clones are actually their own network. As far as I am aware they have no communication between each network in any form. Its also why each one’s blockchain is so different in size. Also the differ..

Operator == that allows easy comparison of your objects is overridden for many standard structures in .NET. Unfortunately, not every developer really knows what is actually compared when working with this wonderful operator. This brief blog post will show the comparison logic based on a sample of System.Drawing.Color. What do you think the following code will get: var redName = Color . Red ; var redArgb = Color . ..

I’m working at a software company. One of our side projects is the integration of new control concepts and input devices to robotic control. We’ve integrated a couple of input devices and can control different rovers. One of them is the one I built.

The agile software development movement has made huge improvements in reliability when delivering software, increasing return on investment, and reducing the risk of building software. However, in a world of iPhones and Google apps, this may no longer be enough.

I'm back in consulting mode these days, so I went and spruced up the web site a bit. You'll find mostly the same content, but there's a new design featuring improved typography and a slicker adaptive design for those small screens we tote around everywhere. I went and did a technology refresh across the whole stack as well, so the code has all been coverted from CoffeeScript back to JavaScript . All jQuery has been abandoned in favor of ....

You don't want to take time away from your awesome game to write boring analytics code. So you either call up some friends, hire playtesters, integrate some 3rd party SDK (ugh), or just do without. WRONG. You roll your own solution. Here's why. Why you don't do without The OODA loop models the way human individuals and groups operate. It goes like this: Observe the situation Orient your observations in the context of goals, past exp..

It was the holiday party season and we wanted to create an interesting application to show off our freshly delivered developer preview of Estimote Beacons – low power, low cost bluetooth sensors. What better than a scavenger hunt app in San Francisco to take advantage of the micro-location based nature of the beacons, while testing it out on other Thoughtworkers? Here’s what we learned.

Interesting perspective from Stefan Constantinescu on the news. There has been a great deal of talk in similar veins as of late, questioning not only the relevance of articles written in response to news stories, but their long-term value as well. This question has been posed as particularly damning to the Apple-tech-blog niche, where it combines with the oft-cited criticism that this segment’s participants do little but constantly complime..

Yes, the title is maybe a little too sensational for my liking; yes, “Financial Samurai” is a bit ostentatious. But you know what? Sam Dogen is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers for his terrific financial insight, and that more than makes up for any choice I may disagree with with regards to his approach to writing on the internet. Of all the sites I subscribe to and all the writers I follow, he is the only writer whose work I rea....

Last night I read Federico Viticci’s post about Jumpy Octopus, a Flappy Bird clone made in Python. I had the article open on my computer, so rather than navigate to the source code on my iPad, copy more than three hundred lines, and then paste them into Pythonista, I opened Command-C on both devices and sent my Mac’s clipboard contents to my iPad. Less than a minute later I had tried, grown frustrated with, and ultimately abandoned the ga..

I don’t have an infant son to take care of, so I cannot speak to that adventure, but I can speak to its effects: every so often I undergo bouts of insomnia-like symptoms where no matter how much I may want to sleep, regardless of how significantly tomorrow’s test will effect my grade, it’s all I can do to hold myself still while my mind races. What am I doing tomorrow? Did I finish all my homework? Will I have time to listen to that latest....

On a Saturday night, i got out to party. After a few hours of dancing, and a few drinks I we got of the club to take a taxi home. I got hit by the delicious smell of bacon grilling around juicy hot dogs. Next to the dogs, onions and peppers added extra savory smell and ggot my mouth watering as I imagined biting into the juicy, crunchy hot dog. I wanted the hot dog so bad. I was determined to eat the hot dog, and nobody could convince me ot....

The pace with which the development of mobile applications grows is impressive. An interesting challenge is to maintain agile practices in such an environment where resources are always limited. We must rely on the help of simulators, Mac servers, a lot of Apple configurations, and so on. Thoughtworks is a pioneer in using agile methodologies such as process automation and continuous delivery for web projects, and this should not be differe..

If not the best, for even as I type this I have likely forgotten someone, then Matt Gemmell easily comes in as by far and away one of the greatest writer I have the continued privilege of reading, and one of my favorite as well. Aside from that praise, I have little to say with regards to his latest article: words fail me, and no commendation could do it justice. I am awestruck. Permalink.

I personally consider Amazon the former: “a brilliant company investing every penny of cash in building the future”. Benedict’s graph seems to support this theory: as revenue increases net income remains approximately zero; where did all that money go if not to infrastructure? Especially given the alternative that paints Amazon as “a Ponzi scheme doomed to collapse” — completely ridiculous and utterly juvenile — I find any argument discussi..

Introduction In my last post called Concurrency, Goroutines and GOMAXPROCS , I set the stage for talking about channels. We discussed what concurrency was and how goroutines played a role. With that foundation in hand, we can now understand the nature of channels and how they can be used to synchronize goroutines to share resources in a safe, less error prone and fun way. What Are Channels Channels are type safe message que....

We’ve been even more busy than usual with our first corporate deployment kicking off, this is currently a pretty rough process that requires a lot of hands on help from us but we hope to make it less painful for our customers. Either way, this being a completely new offering with a great deal of complexity involved it’s an uphill effort which is part of why we are experiencing a slowdown in new features.

Last time we looked at the elementary formulation of an elliptic curve as the solutions to the equation $$y^2 = x^3 + ax + b$$ where $ a,b$ are such that the discriminant is nonzero: $$-16(4a^3 + 27b^2) \neq 0$$ We have yet to explain why we want our equation in this form, and we will get to that, but first we want to take our idea of intersecting lines as far as possible.
