Met with B from CoC meetup. Also ran into C from ZP. It was a little awkward, as she hadn’t responded to my emails yet. Selling is tough - these projects aren’t going to pan out for weeks, maybe months. Gotta keep going though. Also got bad news about Nani. more cancer has been found. We decided to fly out tomorrow to see M, who was very shaken. got flights for friday evening.

This is the second in a two-part series on the technology behind blockchain. In the first article, we explored how blockchain works and introduced core concepts. In this article, we showcase how we created a blockchain proof-of-concept for a global financial services organization. Angela is an employee at a financial services company. Imagine that her organization needs to know that she read the quarterly earnings report—and it needs to ver..

In my three years of being in the tech industry and two years of involvement with Women Who Code, I have come across many women who are either creating or striving to create waves in the technology and science world. Every single woman’s story is interesting, life experiences different, and aspirations and struggles varied.

The new Serverless Snyk plugin scans vulnerable open source packages and alerts of potential security risks.

30 is probably the perfect time to stop with Roman numerals…​ We don’t want to give search engines the wrong idea. This has been a really busy week with the new Phoenix demo and quite a few other developments. October is finally over and we are all back home from vacations & travels. We are still in “recovery mode” but looking at the pipeline we have pretty exciting things coming up!

As I posted on the bug report on the Qt bug tracker : Hi, We ran into this problem recently. In my opinion this is a somewhat serious problem with Qt that should be fixed. We noticed this after fixing a bug in our code. A function was incorrectly taking an int argument instead of a double argument, and we were passing a double in. But the usual warning was not reported The usual warning would be something like: warning C4244: 'initial....

I recently had an unexpectedly great support experience from a company that one does not usually associate with excellent customer support: Microsoft. I had been running Windows 10 as a VirtualBox VM on my Linux laptop for quite some time. I needed Windows for a few things like my accounting software (Quickbooks) and remote access to the office but the setup wasn’t working as cleanly as I’d like, particularly around support for external d..

today got a late start. had a webinar in the morning. I’m hugely optimistic (hopeful? desperate?) when it comes to webinars, thinking I’m going to learn so much from them. most of the time I end up tuning them out. not sure what I’m doing wrong. picking something and implementing it? also, sidenote, I wonder if other people are this obsessed with making a business/freedom? I feel I have very little bandwidth to want to think about anyth..

Last week a question came up in stackoverflow that came out quite a few times before but this time I had a better answer thanks to the round border. After giving that answer I recalled that I already wrote some code to implement badging in the FloatingActionButton but never exposed it because of some bugs…​ So I took the time and looked at the bugs in that code, turns out it was pretty trivial to fix so the same sample I gave ..

today was a bit on the light side. had a good conversation with p on whether (and how) to pursue stone vs software business. it’s not easy being in his position. he’s invested, both personally and professionally. I’m thinking I’ll set a definitive cutoff date e.g. 1 year to get this going (or not). found a new place to work - whole foods cafe. wonderful food, open early, open late, electrical outlets (some).

The Phoenix theme had a FloatingActionButton with a gradient on top. This goes against the mostly flat material design spec but after looking at the design with a solid color I came to the conclusion that the designer was totally right to use a gradient in this case. Unfortunately we didn’t build that support into the FloatingActionButton. So as part of that work I added a special mode to the RoundBorder that uses the parent UIID to..

Monday started off with checking out of our old apartment. It was bitter-sweet. Had kind of gotten attached to the place, and hadn’t realized it. Had really enjoyed being close to the water. Went to Home Depot to get blinds after. The ones that R wanted were 10-15x the basic blinds! Didn’t know blinds did that! Decided on curtains instead. While the typical man might be bored (honestly, I thought I would be too), but instead I felt a ve..

When I was growing up, when you read the paper, watched the news, saw a film or a picture, you inherently believed in it. You trusted the reality it portrayed. You trusted in journalism and even believed the news was actually "fair and balanced". Then technology destroyed the business model of traditional journalism.

The Phoenix UI kit by Adrian Chiran is one of the best looking and most challenging template UI’s I had to adapt in recent history. The breadth of the design is pretty challenging but it also has some elements that are really hard to adapt across platforms in a portable way. In fact, some elements only work on devices and don’t even work properly for the JavaScript port e.g. the floating action button gradient color and th..

Woke up to go to Ikea…again. The drawers we didn’t get yesterday were supposed to be in stock today. We went in through the checkout area and were able to secure 2 units of the drawers (Oppland, if that means anything). Wooohoo. Brought them back, M arrived and we left for D and D’s. D was not happy when we got there. She was expecting us earlier, she said, near tears.

Some designs don’t work well in landscape/portrait mode and we need to adapt them to fit the orientation of the device e.g. when we have a large graphic element (icon etc.) on top/below and we no longer have room for that element. As an example check out the code below: Form hi = new Form("Swap", new BorderLayout()); hi.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, FlowLayout.encloseCenter( new Label(duke.scaledWidth(Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(..

Saturday was a late start. Woke up with a headache, no good. It was a yuuuge dissapointment. Went to Ikea again, to start buying stuff, ended up buying a kitchen island and deciding on a set of drawers (x2). Seems like this stuff will again be donated once we move, which seems like a waste. Had dinner with B and U - curry and naan. B went off to sleep after that, U, R and I talked for a bit. B and U have it tough, but seem to be doing well ..

Saw the new Microsoft Surface Studio this weekend at the Microsoft store at the South Coast Plaza. I thought the display is pretty mind blowing. I have gotten used to wide screen displays but somehow the resolution and format of the screen just feels right. The display floats in space and fills your field of vision.
