Learning Elixir has a way of challenging everything you know about programming. Redis is becoming an assumed part of many web stacks, in the same breath as your database. But with Elixir, do you need it? Do you even need a database?

Google Play Services is a proprietary set of tools that Google licenses to vendors under limited conditions. In recent years more and more features go into Google Play Services making it harder to build an app without it. In our effort to “do the right thing” we include some of the Google Play Services tools into applications to remain compatible with code that requires these libraries. This also makes some features (such as location)..

Bootstrapping a cluster from your laptop, or managing machines without needing to first setup a separate config management infrastructure are both very reasonable and fundamental asks. I was particularly inspired by Ansible ’s agent-less remote execution model, but never wanted to build a centralized orchestrator. I soon realized that I could have my ice cream and eat it too. Prior knowledge If you haven’t read the earlier articles..

So: What is best? A native app or a hybrid app? And if you build a hybrid app, what’s the best framework to use? As with most interesting questions, it turns out that the answer is “it depends”. I often get questions like “isn’t Xamarin (or Cordova) better than build a native app”. Weeeell, it’s not as simple as that. Here’s a few ideas that I’ve found myself repeating lately:

If you’re human, then you're biased. Even if you were somehow able to become the platonic ideal of a judge, a veritable modern-day Solomon, you can still get tired, lonely or distracted. It’s inevitable. And it gets worse.

This is a continuation of my post about clean tea , except this time I analysed the offerings from Teavana® (a Starbucks company). Teavana® by the numbers: 101 teas (excluding kits and samplers) 70 contain sugar and/or flavourings 31 caffeine-free 4 had no ingredients listed So I filtered the list to only show teas with: No caffeine No sugar No flavourings Only one tea on the Teavana® menu passes my filter for what I would cons..

As we saw in Part I, financial orthodoxy isn’t in danger of being overthrown by technology any time soon. If anything, the biggest challenge to orthodoxy comes from policy makers.

As you may recall most of us are on vacation and the few of us who are not have to work even harder than usual to keep things chugging along. I’m in India for October (not on vacation) which slows down my work even further outside of my “home base”. We’re releasing a much needed plugin update today with huge GUI builder changes, new round border support in the designer and many bug fixes in the settings etc.

Looks like I’m back in the conference organization game again! After a few years of lots of travel and then a few years of lots of family responsibilities, this year I co-funded the Mobile Era conference. It looks like it will be a blast!) If your experience is anything like mine, most of the interesting projects around you are having a larger mobile component this year than last year. I think this trend will continue.

These changes are wide reaching covering the appearance, functionality and stability of the GUI Builder. Figure 1.

I encounter this periodically whenever I’m laying in bed with my iPhone at an angle, but I could never nail down exactly why the home screen kept reverting to landscape orientation. What adds to the frustration is that a mechanism like rotation lock always seems to sneak in an annoying bug into each major iOS release. Whether this bug was introduced with iOS 10 or was already present, I figured out the steps necessary to reproduce it. I....

For some reason the aligned memory allocator supplied by VS 2015 is really slow. See the following results: SSE::alignedMalloc is our implementation, which works in the standard way - it allocates requested size + alignment, then moves up the returned pointer to so that it is aligned, while storing the original pointer so it can be freed later. _mm_malloc is the VS function that returns aligned memory. It compiles to a call ..

Historical note: Codename One’s UWP target was discontinued in release 7.0.229 . This post is preserved for historical context only, and its build/setup instructions no longer apply to current Codename One projects. We’ve mentioned the progress we made with the Universal Windows Platform support in the past. This support is moving at a very fast pace… By now we support SQLite as well as Media, Capture and a slew of other features..

Today’s #inktober prompt was “NOISY”. Not a great effort but at least he looks human. Also had a decent Cathedral win on BoI:A even though the very first item was Dr Fetus - made for some tense dodging and shimmying! Still haven’t managed a win streak of more than one but the loss streaks are slowly getting shorter…

As noted before , with systemd, your core dumps disappear into one of systemd’s log sinks, instead of being stored to the current directory. By now, they are recoverable by normal users again. TL;DR: Run coredumpctl gdb to invoke gdb with the most recent core dump.

As we discussed before October will be relatively slow, this means that our original plan of a December release for 3.6 will be challenging and produce a sub-par release. In the interest of making 3.6 a more significant release we decided to postpone it to January 16th 2017. The code freeze for this release will also move to January 9th as a result. Normally we could have done the release sooner but past experience has shown that re..
