Palette is an open source lightweight color picker for the most famous color schemes, like Material Design, Flat UI, iOS, Windows Phone etc. Despite being color blind, I like apps and websites with the right selection of colors. And sometimes when starting a new project it’s easier to pick a color palette from the existing ones. Or, if you want to meet the guidelines for the certain platform - you’d better use the colors they offer.

Winter now has proper runtime support for first class functions, and anonymous functions (lambda expressions) with lexical closures. A simple example: def main() float : let f = \(float x) : x*x in f(2.0) returns 4.0. In this example an anonymous function (that computes the square of its argument) is created and assigned to f. It is then called with the argument 2.0. Since functions are 'first class', they can be returne....

The more I use C# as a language for writing things the more I am convinced that its approach really is the best language approach out there. The unit test support is excellent which allows development speed to be just as fast as any dynamic language (Python, PHP, Perl). The static typing catches so many issues before you get to runtime and allows sweeping changes without breaking things. Unlike Java it has the var keyword (saves time ..

It has been a long time outstanding, “to do item”, to start collecting feedback and net promoter scores from the tens of thousands of customers that AdRoll has. Once at scale, it becomes surprisingly challenging to ensure that feedback from users is sent to Product, Engineering and SMB teams. Last month we turned Satismeter on via our Segment dashboard. Satismeter injects a prompt at the bottom of our Dashboard asking how likely you a....

As a forewarning, this post doesn’t really provide tips on how to be invisible, it’s more of an observation of human nature. One of my biggest stressors when I was considering living in a van, as is undoubtedly evident from my earlier posts, was my unshakable fear that I was going to be caught, arrested, or otherwise reprimanded. I was worried that I wouldn’t be discreet enough, or I’d make some grave mistake one day, or anything but a ..

I’ve seen many articles and discussions online discussing the merits of merge and rebase when integrating parallel branches into the main branch. It seems there are two camps arguing “which is better” when in reality, both have their own use cases. The task we need to accomplish is to determine which workflow is right for your project. This article will attempt to provide an overview to the different workflows, and explain when merge and ....

In my neighborhood, I’m experimenting to give free access to some services, not the full internet but a full access to Wikipedia, maps… Here are some tips do to the same. Getting access to the internet may be crucial for our lives, but the commercial providers are here to make money out of it. They don’t event provide disasters nor minimum safety access. Sometimes even in normal condition, while traveling your roaming will cost you hundreds..

I’ve recently published StatGo, it gives you access to your operating system metrics like free memory, used disk spaces … It’s a binding to the C library libstatgrab, a proven stable piece of code that works on many different systems, FreeBSD, Linux, OSX … It’s very simple to use: s := NewStat() c := s.CPUStats() fmt.Prinln(c.Idle) 98.2 Feel free to contribute, it may need some improvement but it’s working I’m using it in a small metrics we..

SnailLife does a lot of logging for debugging purposes. Aside from the general laravel.log I have separate loggers for each snail and also write logs for stuff like deleted items etc in separate files.

I’ve always developed my own blog system, that’s a good way to learn a new langage. But having to maintain a working server or hosting is no fun, there are some solutions like Jekyll or Hugo they generate static web pages based on some Markdown files you wrote. As it’s just basic html files, they can be served by Github gh-pages. It opens the door to blogging from anywhere without internet connection or your own laptop, just write some Mark..

When introduced to someone for the first time, I stay away from asking the cliché question “so what do you do?” This seemingly benign question is steeped in the cultural heritage of the New England colonial Puritan/ Protestant work-ethic . Hard work, frugality, perseverance in the face of hardship (without complaint) is the mark of Grace and this will allow you to achieve salvation. You are your work, and your value and place in the soci....

Hello fellow readers, In this post I'll discuss a subject that has been nagging me. Justification After Actions I usually write to clear my mind about a topic. These days I can't really keep up with all the things that bug me. This subject is a preparation to a broader subject that I'm preparing to write about.

In this post , I mention that, upon my arrival, there were already several other vehicles that looked like they could be home to serial killers, the mentally-insane, or otherwise psychologically degenerate human beings. Some of the vehicles, namely a truck and a few RVs, move around occasionally, a sure sign of life. Others, like the hippie van pictured above on the far right, have not moved in the two months I’ve been here. However, despi..
