If you’re a mobile app developer, at some point in time you’re going to need to interact with a backend. One of the tasks you might need to do is to retrieve and display images from a server, or submit an image to that server. What format should the image be in when you’re submitting it? How do you convert bytes received from a service call into an image? Let’s build the entire stack from the server to an iOS App to find out how. Setting....

This node app generates random json maps compatible with Tiled and Phaser.js. It uses a cellular automata algorithm to generate the background and then randomly places objects on the map. First set a birth and death rate as well as various spritesheet tiles for your background and objects then run app.js. The json output can […]

Sparkpost API Docs Sparkpost Python Git repo Sparkpost Python Client Library Docs Sparkpost has a generous free email quota (100,000 per month as of this writing). I’m using this to send notifications from the inventory system, which doesn’t have a notification system. First use case: Send weekly notification to show what shipments are still on the water i.e. in transit. Currently the status of shipments can be obtained by going ..

Since moving to Jekyll last year, I’ve done relatively little to tweak the inner workings of this site. After all, one of the most appealing things about having a static site is that it doesn’t need to have a lot of moving parts. It just works. But today I finally got around to a couple of housekeeping items that have been on my list: image captions and MathJax. Image captions For image captions, I settled on a beautifully simple so....

Apache Flink has hit version 1.3 lately and the SQL support has been extended. You can find what is supported from the docs. In this blog post, I will be giving a small example for using Streming SQL a Tumbling Window. Consider you are streaming room temperatures that are being read from many sensors. You want to find the average tempetarute in windows of 10 seconds and act upon it. You want to do it in SQL.

This year Postgres open and PGConf SV have combined to great a bigger and better conference right in downtown San Francisco. I’m obviously biased as I’m one of the co-chairs, and I know every conference organizer says picking the talks was hard, but I’m especially excited for the line-up this year . The hard part for me is going to be which talks do I miss out on because I’m sitting in the other session that’s ongoing. You can see the full....

1300 words, 4 and a half minutes. This will probably be the first and last time I write about social networking. I’m an antisocial social networker. I had an expectation that part of the job of a networking platform (professional or social) would be to filter content or updates, both in terms of who was posting them and the individual significance or quality of the posts. Boy was I wrong. One person re-posts every single article they see, a..

1100 words, 4 1/2 minutes. Preparation “One of the best ways to keep peace is to be prepared for war” - Plato & others. Today attacks come thick and fast. The chances are that all public IPv4 address space is regularly scanned. Time-to-compromise of an unpatched, non-firewalled, Microsoft Windows host is about 5 minutes. Systems are attacked not because they are valuable, but because they are vulnerable. Even an old cable-modem is a useful ..

Patton If you’ve read my previous postyou’ll know that to get beneficial, long lasting, low-maintenance results in Information Security, you need winning systems. Not skills. If you like grinding monotony punctuated by periods of extreme stress and being able to tell people how busy ..

Running Cucumber scenarios in parallel can be tricky, especially when a custom test runner is used. That's why we created Cucable - a Maven plugin to split test scenarios into smaller chunks that can be run at the same time.

A method for signing in to a device that doesn’t have a keyboard When we were developing our SoundCloud app for Xbox One, something became very obvious during usability testing: signing in with a game controller really sucks. Entering text requires navigating a virtual keyboard to individual letters, numbers, and characters one at a time – such a nightmare! Plus, letters, numbers, and special characters are spread across three screens. The ..

A very brief update about the progress of searchcode server. Currently I am in the middle of reworking how the index is built and maintained. The idea being I want to add zero downtime index rebuilds which requires a blue/green index strategy. It is still very much in flux but the current design is to merge the indexer and searcher which should allow this to happen. I have been playing around with using an iPad as a production device these ..

By trying to winning the things that don’t matter. You’re playing a poker game, but you’re not really good, and you can really get tricked by the sharks. They’ll give you a few bites, and whet your appetite. You come rushing and eager into their trap and lose the skin off your back. You’re in a relationship, and inevitably end up arguing about how you treat each other. You stand your ground and don’t compromise. You hurt your partner an....
