I had a brief chat on Twtter with @mrlasertron yesterday about GUI in ImpactJS and decided to make a post about how I’m handling all GUI elements in my project (nicknamed Vostok until I decide on a title) yesterday. This project is more UI heavy than any other I’ve done in Impact, so putting this together has involved much experimentation, makeshift diagrams of relationships between elements, and trial and error. First, some screenshots..

I was slightly surprised today to check XML containing the following for validity, and to see the following error from the validity check: Low-level XML well-formedness and/or validity processing output Error: -- in comment I mean basically this error does what it says on the tin, I mean, the string “--” is indeed not allowed in comments. To quote Wikipedia :

ImpactJS has a really cool screen shaker plugin written by Killbot, which I used during the first iterations of this game. The project has now changed quite a bit and the screen shaker was no longer working exactly as I needed it to because the camera follows the player entity as it moves instead of being constantly positioned at 0,0.

Last time we investigated the k-nearest-neighbors algorithm and the underlying idea that one can learn a classification rule by copying the known classification of nearby data points. This required that we view our data as sitting inside a metric space; that is, we imposed a kind of geometric structure on our data. One glaring problem is that there may be no reasonable way to do this. While we mentioned scaling issues and provided a number ..

I am typing this while bouncing on the couch…happily. I have just written the messiest localStorage setup that anyone could probably ever write. Ever. This thing is cringeworthy. But I’m happy. Because it works. And it works like this.

Flying in the face of midterms and other IRL issues, Lemma boldly marches on! Spawn Point Graphics I realized you need a way to know where you'll respawn if you die, so I added some spawn point graphics. Got the idea from Borderlands. Actually can we talk about Borderlands? Man, every time I play a good game I have to resist the urge to start incorporating its ideas into my projects. If I ever announce that Lemma will feature randomly gen..

A proposito di TypeScript vi segnalo Thoughts on TypeScript, il miglior articolo che ho letto finora sul nuovo nato in casa Microsoft. I’m happy that regular JavaScript can be written in TypeScript and still benefit from some of the type checking provided by the TypeScript compiler. That means writing TypeScript can actually help people learn JavaScript, which makes me happy.

I’ve worked with teams who have some fairly sophisticated card walls, in terms of columns (some even warranted!). For my personal card wall, I really just want an at-a-glance view for my day: just the work that I’m dealing with today, nothing more, nothing less.

We need to change our culture” – how many times have I heard that when I am working with organizations trying to adopt an agile approach? Well, I hear it almost every time I give one of our workshops, and it has driven me to change the way I start each workshop by trying to discover the culture of this particular organization, and what it might mean to the workshop participants. In this way I am able to tailor each workshop a little to be a..

On a recent vacation I visited the Mingei International Museum in San Diego. During a tour by the museum director we were looking at a mid-1930′s Santo Domingo Pueblo (New Mexico) necklace. “Interesting about this necklace,” the director said, “are the ‘nots’– not coral, not obsidian (but old melted phonograph records for the black element). During the depression the Native American artists were constrained by the lack of materials. Everyon..

tl;dr Checkout the charts on my RaspberryPi ** For quite a long time I was looking for a way to monitor and record th temperature and humidity at my apartment. What was missing was a convenient, preferably wireless solution. After receiving my RaspberryPi I started to look into that more intensively. USB-WDE1 Receiver The USB Weather Data Receiver USB-WDE1 wirelessly receives data from various weather sensors of ELV at 868 MHz.

A feature thats glaringly missing within Django and common in many other frameworks including many Java frameworks and Rails is connection pooling for your database connection. As most Django users are Postgres users the default answer is to use something like pgPool or pgBouncer. This are tools that you can run that will persist a connection to your Postgres database intended to offer: Connection Pooling Replication Load Balancing Its....

Numberphile posted a video today describing a neat trick based on complete sequences: The mathematics here is pretty simple, but I noticed at the end of the video that Dr. Grime was constructing the cards by hand, when really this is a job for a computer program. I thought it would be a nice warmup exercise (and a treat to all of the Numberphile viewers) to write a program to construct the cards for any complete sequence.

Ieri Microsoft ha annunciato TypeScript, nuovo linguaggio fortemente tipizzato il cui codice compilato è puro JavaScript. TypeScript aggiunge classi, controllo degli errori in compilazione, completamento del codice in fase di sviluppo, e tante altre cose interessanti. Miguel de Icaza, il cervello dietro Xamarin e la piattaforma Mono, ha sintentizzato le sue prime impressioni sul progetto. Interessanti anche i commenti di uno degli svilup..

It turns out it is non trivial (afaict) to include a tree of files (a directory) in a python distutils data_files argument. Here’s how I managed to do it, while also allowing the programmer to include manual entries: NAME = 'project_name' distutils . core . setup( # ... data_files = [ ( 'share/ %s ' % NAME, [ 'README' ]), ( 'share/ %s ' % NAME, [ 'files/somefile' ]), ( 'share/ %s /templat..

This is the second in a series of interviews on continuous delivery, this time with John Allspaw, one of my co-authors on the Devops Cookbook. These interviews will eventually be put together – along with some additional exclusive material – into a set of LiveLessons, with the royalties going to Black Girls Code.

Hi all, Been a hectic couple of weeks with some family weddings and working hard on the day job. Got some time yesterday to work on a couple of new features and fixes for the Wp7 and Win 8 versions of BBC News Mobile. Windows Phone Fixed intermittent issue where the app showed error info when reading certain stories, thanks to everyone who let me know about this. Hopefully improved the accuracy of the image selection for the stories..
