This is the second article in a two-part series looking at agile documentation. Read Part One here. In this article, I’ll touch on the probably most frequently asked question with regards to documentation: How do you keep it up to date? Before that, let’s dive into our third and fourth goals for documentation.

There are a lot of video codecs out there, and some of them are far, far more efficient than H.264. But, as efficient as HEVC or WebM might be, they're frustrating to stumble across if your playback device is a Raspberry pi which has neither the hardware support, nor the processing capabilities required to deal with those codecs without stuttering It is, however, incredibly simple to convert to X264 with ffmpeg, the below snippet creates ..

I used to do a lot of enterprise consulting in the day and used to lecture a lot on J2EE (as it was known back then). A lot of that knowledge isn’t as applicable even in the server side today, but the algorithms are surprisingly even applicable in mobile. One of the algorithms I would explain a lot when teaching J2EE was the 2PC AKA Two Phase Commit.

It recently came to my attention that John McAfee has been advertising a cryptocurrency hardware wallet from a company called Bitfi , with the claim that it is “unhackable”. There’s even a $250,000 bounty to hack it. I do not have one of the actual devices in my possession, but from my review of the publicly available “ source code ” [PDF] and their private key calculator , my conclusion is that their product is most charitably desc..

That's a crazy long flight time! I don't know to much about gliders (actually flying them that is) but I have to assume that went hand in hand with your highest record?? Either way it is really incredible, keep up the great work Mike! (Also fyi, I think your page seems to be getting spammed a bit). Cheers, -Zach

This is the story of his summer experience: As a college student, it’s not every day that you get to work on cutting edge technology to transform healthcare as we know it. Every morning, I walk past a wall on the way to the elevator: “Healt..

This past year has been quite an adventure. I got married. I just finished school yesterday . And today is my son is four months old. I’ve been chronicling what’s been going on, relying heavily on things such as medical bills and insurance explanation of benefits to fit things into a neat timeline. Hence the whopper of a title A Mostly Financial Pregnancy Timeline and The First Four Months Of Life: My Experience As A New Dad .

When the leadership team decided to move AdRoll HQ to the spacious new location in the Mission, one has to wonder whether they had events such as last Wednesday’s evening gathering in mind. A crowd of 100+ Python enthusiast filled the all hands area to share in some delicious catered food and drinks as well as a bit of Python knowledge to boot. The gathering was part of SF Python Groups monthly Project Night event which is held ever....

Sometimes, an important team that’s part of an otherwise healthy company culture starts tanking and the people on the team get frustrated and even quit. In this article, I want to share what I learned when I started to manage a team — referred to as the R Team from here on out — that had huge problems when I took over as Engineering Manager, as well as explain how I got it back on track.

Mbsync and mu4e are great for syncing and handling IMAP email. I've now migrated 4 email addresses, including an old Yahoo account. I wanted to mark all my Yahoo unread emails as read. Yahoo's webmail enables marking 500 emails at a time, making the process a little tedious. Mu-discuss has a handy thread , highlighting that moving/renaming synced messages (in your local file system) would do the job. This worked well for me. Let..

Avoid Vendor Lock-in When Sending Emails by Using SMTP

Email delivery providers such as Mandrill, Mailgun, SendGrid, AWS SES etc. all provide proprietary APIs and SDKs to send email over their service. These APIs are different from one email provider to the next. However all these services also allow you to send email via the industry-standard SMTP. All email delivery providers encourage you to use their own API. Sometimes they don’t really indicate strongly that there is any alternative to u..

Over at Math3ma, Tai-Danae Bradley shared the following puzzle, which she also featured in a fantastic (spoiler-free) YouTube video. If you’re seeing this for the first time, watch the video first. Consider a square in the xy-plane, and let A (an “assassin”) and T (a “target”) be two arbitrary-but-fixed points within the square. Suppose that the square behaves like a billiard table, so that any ray (a.k.a “shot”) from the assassin will boun..

In May I had the opportunity to present at the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) Conference after spending some time cross referencing the APWG's eCrime Exchange data with dmarcian's historic DMARC reports to see if we could identify consistent patterns among known bad actors, as well as potentially identifying a wider scope to the attacks that any single entity could see. The results were interesting!

In the beginning, there was MVC (Model-View-Controller) — for a long time the main pattern Apple and Google promoted in their tutorials for iOS and Android development. MVC was a good entry point for mobile developers, but one that came at a cost: a fixation on architectural patterns. Today, I want to encourage you to adopt a new way of thinking; one that delivers the benefits of architectural patterns without the bloat.

The most common question we get about Codename One is: “Is Codename One Free”. The direct answer is “Yes” but we don’t want to mislead. You can work with the open source code, which is just as free as any other project. But it’s not for the faint of heart… The build servers have quotas so we won’t go out of business. This is perceived by developers as “not free” but since no one else offers build servers I have an issue with that percept..
