Have you ever needed to download only a subdirectory from a GitHub project without downloading the entire repository? Surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be a way of doing this easily using Git. A somewhat unexpected solution is to use SVN. First get the URL of the subfolder. GitHub URLs have the form: https://github.com/author/repo-name/tree/master/subdirectory Then replace /tree/master/ with /trunk/ to get: https://github.com/author/repo/..

The WordPress Multilingual (WPML) plugin offers a comprehensive solution for transitioning from a single language WordPress website to one that supports multiple languages. Once installed, you can add several translations of individual posts and custom posts from within the WordPress admin interface. When viewing a page for a specific language on your site, page content is then generated by pulling in posts for the current language. Problem..

They are integrated almost everywhere - challenges, problems, notes etc. and soon will be added to our new products. We have been working to make it more powerful and usable. Here is what we did: Pluggable architecture Ajaxifying comments Realtime sync Tagging peopl....

Last time we left off with the tantalizing question: how do you do a quantum “AND” operation on two qubits? In this post we’ll see why the tensor product is the natural mathematical way to represent the joint state of multiple qubits. Then we’ll define some basic quantum gates, and present the definition of a quantum circuit. Working with Multiple Qubits In a classical system, if you have two bits with values $ b_1, b_2$, then the “joint st..

In previous blog posts, we discussed how SoundCloud has been moving towards a microservice architecture. Soon we had hundreds of services, with many thousand instances running and changing at the same time. With our existing monitoring set-up, mostly based on StatsD and Graphite, we ran into a number of serious limitations. What we really needed was a system with the following features: A multi-dimensional data model, so that data can be sl....

This week's level is not quite done yet, but I have an excuse! Power was out at the incubator for two days, and the internet didn't come up fully until just yesterday. Still, the level should be done some time this weekend and is already looking pretty good. I finalized the promotional graphics and published the game to Steam in "coming soon" mode . I'm incredibly grateful to Sam Gebhardt for contributing his Hollywood artistic ta..

Reading my previous blog post some people asking why I’m so strongly against XMLs if they are really good? I think I shall clarify that I’m not against XMLs per se, I’m against the way many developers organize their apps. Let’s look at a simple example - a button and a textview showing how many times the button was pressed. Here’s a typical implementation in Java+XML: |

When working on a site, it’s common to browse it yourself from multiple browsers, multiple devices and multiple locations for testing purposes. For analytics about your user behaviour to be useful, we need a way to exclude this internal traffic from Google Analytics reports. In this post I explain a method I found useful for hiding visits to your own site when you want to be able to test your site from any browser or any location.

In spite of being a marketing spin and link bait, Heroku article on microservices does a pretty good job at explaining why microservices matter and, at a very high level, what challenges they pose. However, microservices aren’t a silver bullet, and they won’t make a sluggish IT organization fast. While individual services become more robust and less complex, the overall system takes on the many challenges of distributed systems at the..

Few days ago, I landed in Paris. My original flight was delayed, and I missed my connecting flight. The next flight was in 12 hours, so I had to figure out what to do in the mean time. I could stay at the airport during the whole day. But that would have been lame, I would have missed out on exploring Paris. I am lucky to not need visa for France, and I had no real excuse not to go out. Yet, several times I gave up on going out and several ....

I’ve just uploaded a small Node.js module for submitting/pinging sitemaps to search engines called submit-sitemap. This is meant to be used after you’ve made updates to your site to encourage crawlers to reindex your pages. The module currently submits your sitemap to Google and Bing. This saves you from having to use Google’s webmaster tools and Bing’s webmaster tools to submit your sitemap manually. For example, I’ve used this in the last..

A thread appeared on Hacker News recently about how successful people operate. The comment below really struck a chord with me. Don’t waste time. Be mission/vision focused. Be polite to everyone always. Be helpful whenever possible. Be insanely organized. Seek and respond to constructive feedback on your work. Do the shit work without whining. All of this will build human capital with other people in the organization, which will bo..

Records continue to be broken. This week's map was actually done on Wednesday! Although most of Lemma is a strange hybrid of natural and alien-looking architecture, my design calls for a few "industrial / man-made" themed maps. For story reasons, and also because I just want to parkour through a skyscraper. So on Monday I asked Twitter this question: Would people be upset if I do a few levels in the visual style of Mirror's Edge?..

I am not a big fan of top tens but 10 Tips for Better Pull Requests is well worth reading. A good Pull Request involves more than just some code. In most cases, there’s one or more reviewer(s) involved, who will have to review your Pull Request in order to evaluate whether it’s a good fit for inclusion in the code base. Not only must you produce good code, but you must also cater to the person(s) doing the review.

I have been using Munin to monitor the health of my Raspberry Pi for while now. As I have more devices installed in my network I was looking for a way to monitor these devices as well. As Munin uses a client-server model you are required to install the Munin node on the device to be monitored. Every five minutes the Munin server polls its clients for the values and creates charts using RRDTool.
