Soon after Swift was initially open sourced, I wrote an article about how weak references are implemented . Time moves on and things change, and the implementation is different from what it once was. Today I'm going to talk about the current implementation and how it works compared to the old one, a topic suggested by Guillaume Lessard. (Read More)

I have some thoughts about regret in life, which might be counterintuitive. You might have heard of Jeff Bezos making the decision to start Amazon as a part of regret-minimization decision making. For him, there would’ve been a certain regret of not attempting Amazon, but there wouldn’t be as much regret if he tried and it didn’t work out. From his point of view, minimizing the regret is to minimize the difference between the best he coul....

Of all the tools for reading news and subscribing to software releases, I still find RSS the most useful. I use Feedly to manage my rss subscriptions and keep all my devices in sync, but instead of using the Feedly’s own client, I use an app called Reeder as the client / reader itself.

In a previous post, we discussed the need to provide education around our ecosystem and implementation of the FHIRⓇ and SMARTⓇ standards for developers and how we did so at our annual Cerner Health Conference. That same week, we were also a part of FHIR DevDays, which included a track entitled “Apps in the EHR.” We worked alongside track participants who were seeking to integrate their apps in a variety of EHRs, including Cerner.

The 80s and 90s was a period of intense development in the computer hardware and software worlds. On the hardware side, processors started to become much more powerful, and the word on the streets was that RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) was going to be the way of the future. Powerful RISC platforms emerged during this time, including Sun Microsystems SPARC, HP PA-RISC, SGI MIPS, IBM PowerPC, and the DEC Alpha - these platforms w..

In this post we will understand what it means to say “this song has a lot of high frequencies”, then hunt and capture the waveform that allows us to say this! Some Python code will be used, but understanding it is not necessary. Footnotes are more technically advanced. The x coordinate of the circle… is frequency?! […]

I was lucky enough to attend my first meetup in Poland this month: Agile Poznan . The talk was on Systems Thinking , a topic that bored me in college but fascinated me when I entered the real world. Applying systems thinking can reveal the origins behind events and behaviors we see every day. Using this clarity can make you a better software developer, and a better asset to your organisation in general. Here are some of my insights from....

Tech Retail Week assembled some of the Consumer Industry’s leading thinkers to discuss the future of the industry over 2 days at Here East in London’s Olympic Park. Industry luminaries were joined by an eclectic mix of challengers, start-ups, and organizations, who in the past might not have been considered as part of the Retail community. This led to a dynamic, thought-provoking two days.

I’m all about consistency, particularly when it comes to my daily routine . To confirm my own biases, I found some research that agrees with the idea that consistency is good. For example, one study suggests that people with regular routines tend to sleep better, and another study of young children found that regular bedtimes contributed to less obesity and better “emotional self-regulation”. I generally like the idea of sleeping..

Last week I talked about using SMS to activate your application which is a pretty powerful way to verify a user account. I left a couple of things out though. One of those things is the ability to grab the incoming SMS automatically. This is only possible on Android but it’s pretty cool for the users as it saves on the pain of typing the activation text. Broadcast Receiver In order to grab an incoming SMS we need a broadcast receiver wh..

Managing connections in Postgres is a topic that seems to come up several times a week in conversations. I’ve written some about scaling your connections and the right approach when you truly need a high level of connections, which is to use a connection pooler like pgBouncer. But what do you do before that point and how can you better track what is going on with your connections in Postgres? Postgres under the covers has a lot of metadat....

At the end of August 2017, ten students set foot in the trivago headquarters in Düsseldorf to be part of the first ever trivago Tech Camp. Two weeks were packed with real-world challenges, guest lectures, Q&A sessions, and tons of other opportunities to learn. In the end, a lot of working software was delivered.
