Showing or displaying the available tasks inside a fabric fabfile is one of those things that almost everyone wants to do at some point and usually works out you can just request a task you know will not exist (usually found through a typo). However there is a way to list them built into fabric itself. The below are all methods which can be used to display the currently defined tasks.

Despite having been around for over 20 years, HTTPS always remained very lightly adopted – until 2016. Data from two independent sources shows that HTTPS adoption more than doubled from 2015 to 2016. Snyk CEO Guy Podjarny digs into this data.

SimpleObjectCache is a very simple permanent, cross-platform, asynchronous key-value object cache for .NET. It comes with built-in SQLite 3 support. Alternative backends can be added by implementing the IObjectCache or IBulkObjectCache interfaces. How it works First, you need to set the ApplicatioName. This is also going to be the folder where your cache will reside. Depending on the host OS the location of this folder might be differe..

Millions of Codename One apps are installed on devices every month. Most of them aren’t in the gallery and are never featured in this recurring segment. We are looking for something exceptional in apps that we feature here and Ana Paltel fits that bill. It has a polished UI and it’s shipped by a major operator. It uses some unique Codename One features to boot making it even more interesting.

Annoyingly most cloud providers have an irritating habit of not adding any swap memory to any instance you spin up. Probably because if they added swap to the instance the disk size would appear to be smaller then it is or if they had a dedicated swap partition they would have to bear the cost or again use some of your disk space. Thankfully adding swap to your Ubuntu linux instance is fairly easy. The following task when run will check i..

On Monday this week, the Prometheus authors have released version 1.0.0 of the central component of the Prometheus monitoring and alerting system, the Prometheus server. (Other components will follow suit over the next months.) This is a major milestone for the project. Read more about it on the Prometheus blog, and check out the announcement of the CNCF, which has recently accepted Prometheus as a hosted project.

When I first read the announcement that Parse.com would shut down on January 28th 2017, I went from disbelief (it’s probably an early April fool’s joke) to rage (how could they do that?!) to sadness (oh no! it was a great service) and finally to utter confusion (where do I go from here and what do I do with my apps – parse4cn1 , two MVPs for clients and an upcoming rewrite of Medex for which I was planning to use Parse.com ..

With the advent of cloud computing where you spin up and tear down servers at will it becomes extremely useful to pick the hosts you want fabric to run on at runtime rather then through the usual env.hosts setting. This allows you to query your servers through your cloud providers API without having to maintain a list. This can be a more powerful and flexible technique then using roles and in a devops world can save you a lot of time.

The package mock-require is useful if you want to mock require statements in Node.js. It has a simple API that allows you to mock anything, from a single exported function to a standard library. Here’s an example: app/config.js app/services/content.js test/services/content_spec.js

I was stuck on a 14 hour flight last week, and to my disappointment, only one of the two headphone speakers were working. The plane’s media centre has an audio connector that looks like this: Someone should consider probing this USB port. The hole to the left is smaller than a 3.5mm headphone jack, and designed for a proprietary headphone connector that I didn’t have, and the two holes to the right are part of a different proprietary c..

It all started with Glitch, a tiny algorithmic music composer. I spent lots of time deciding whether I should choose a native approach (e.g. C++, Qt, RtAudio) or an HTML5 way. After all I decided to give HTML5 a try - there is JavaScript which I still like, WebAudio that runs everywhere, UI that can be ported to desktop thanks to Electron, and I’ve heard browsers are really good at performance these days.

One of the big decisions we made a while back was to build the new GUI builder on top of Codename One itself, we extended that decision three months ago with the decision to build the Codename One settings in Codename One and then deciding to make it the default preferences UI for all IDE’s… Those were great decisions in retrospect, they helped us consolidate code across the different IDE’s. Furthermore using Codename One is far si..

I have been traveling for about 40-something days now, and I don’t feel the way I expected. I hadn’t traveled around the northwest USA nor much of Europe before so I expected that I’d want to spend every day exploring around, to see the local history and culture. On previous, short vacations, I had spent most of the time going from one attraction to another. And I did explore for a while. I drove around between cities and national parks, ....

We got a lot of requests from developers over the years to do an iOS style alphabet side scroll. Some developers implemented such scrolling but no one made it generic or contributed it back. So a recent stack overflow question got me thinking about how easy it would be to actually implement something like that and I decided to try… I ended up building this in 10 minutes and the concept is remarkably simple. I have two containers, one..

We are born, we live, and we die. Yet, humans presumptuously want to ply meaning with their existence. What am I — Just a coincidence? What makes me special, am I distinguishable? We're not blind and won't be satisfied with the unlaborious mythological answers. Which are only enough for the simple minds. The essence is there, somewhere downstairs...

The concepts extension introduces 5 new keywords. Only concept and requires are implemented, though the GCC documentation states there are 5 new keywords, only 2 are real keywords at the moment. Trying to use the keywords as variable names or function names are not permitted. Any code which previously used any of the following keywords have to be changed before a concepts-enabled compiler will successfully compile and build. Concepts ..

With the pending release and some important issues we decide to make a minor update to the plugin today to introduce some improvements. We want the GUI builder to stabilize so we can finally crown it as “the” GUI builder rather than as “the new” GUI builder. To do that we need you guys to use it and submit issues, we also need you to use the latest version…

Preface As software engineers we invest time into thinking about the problems we are trying to solve every day. Sometimes the problems we face are small or simple. Other times they are large and complex. Either way, we can usually draw from our experience to find a path forward. While coding, we run into a lot of different bugs. Often, they are simple typos or a misuse of an API. These problems do not bog us down very much, and they are qui..

This has been requested quite often and was quite frustrating to implement in the past it is now relatively simple with just a few lines of code.

While visiting Amsterdam I explored the Van Gogh Museum. Seeing his paintings and listening to the audio guide, I learned about his effort to become a better painter and about his personal story. What amazed me the most was how he made himself a “genius” through hard, dedicated work. (if I got any of the things below factually wrong, please let me know!) Vincent Van Gogh was prolific. He “shipped” a lot of paintings, and did a lot o....

Over the weekend LokeHansen posted a new series of youtube videos covering the process of creating a game in Codename One. I really enjoyed watching them as his teaching style is far more accessible than mine (I tend to be overly technical without noticing). I’m guessing the videos below might be a bit too simple for some of our typical readers but if you have friends or kids who like games and didn’t connect to coding this might ..
