2015 was an interesting year, and one that I really enjoyed! I spent a lot of time getting/restoring/playing the last few arcade machines that I’ve wanted in my arcade collection - I just love the retro arcade hobby! As a result, I won’t be getting or restoring any more in 2016 at all (I have a few arcades that I want to work on to upgrade, but that’s about it). I’ll be spending most of my time playing them!

I find during the holiday season many pick up new books , learn a new language , or brush up on some other skill in general. Here’s my contribution to hopefully giving you a few new things to learn about Postgres and ideally utilize in the new year. It’s not in a top 10 list as much as 10 tips and tricks you should be aware of as when you need them they become incredibly handy. But, first a shameless plug if you find any of the following ....

A month or so ago I started collection emails on searchcode.com to determine if there was enough interest in a downloadable version of searchcode. The results were overwhelmingly positive. The email list grew far beyond what I would have expected, and this was in the first month. As such I have been working in this downloadable version of searchcode which will probably be called searchcode server. Progress has been reasonably straight for..

Analysis: Google Moving to OpenJDK, What That Really Means

I’ve been following the news breaking since yesterday as a hacker news post highlighted that an Android commit included OpenJDK files. This is amazing news and a huge step forward for Java, it’s still unclear if this is just another move or the inkling of a settlement between Google and Oracle but I’m very hopeful that this is indeed a settlement. So far Google wouldn’t comment on the court case and whether it was settled si..

Friday 21:15 Fifteen minutes after the theme announcement, my friend Ben Homan walks through my front door. Not really my front door, I'm just a subletter. But this is a first. Normally he ignores our instructions to walk in without knocking. The first time, he texted me from the driveway. 21:30 Jesse Kooner walks in, also unannounced, bearing frozen pizza. Before he can even kick his shoes off, I loudly explain the theme: a never-b..

Daniel P. Berrangé wrote about trying out a single node ceph cluster. I decided to take his article and turn it into an Oh-My-Vagrant omv.yaml file. It took me about two minutes to do so, and two hours to debug a problem caused by something I had broken on my laptop. If you’d like to replicate his article in less than 5 minutes, pull down the omv.yaml file that I’ve just published and run omv up. Here’s the full terminal output of my s..

Chordion is a combination arpeggiator / drum sequencer that supposedly “is a fun new way to make music on the iPad.” I think I’ve proven their “never hit a wrong note!” wrong. Maybe a few more practice runs will help. Listen on Soundcloud

Here’s a bit of folklore I often hear (and retell) that’s somewhere between a joke and deep wisdom: if you’re doing a software interview that involves some algorithms problem that seems hard, your best bet is to use hash tables. More succinctly put: Google loves hash tables. As someone with a passion for math and theoretical CS, it’s kind of silly and reductionist. But if you actually work with terabytes of data that can’t fit on a single m..

Volatile and atomic variables are an important feature in Java language. Especially when dealing with multi threading . A simple incrementation algorithm works fine in a single threaded program, but won’t work as expected in a multi threaded system: private int counter = 0; public int increment(int i) { return i++; } This code will work correctly in a single threaded program, but will give incorrect results in case of a multi threaded ..

The headline of Postgres 9.5 is undoubtedly: Insert… on conflict do nothing/update or more commonly known as Upsert or Merge. This removes one of the last remaining features which other databases had over Postgres. Sure we’ll take a look at it, but first let’s browse through some of the other features you can look forward to when Postgres 9.5 lands: Grouping sets, cube, rollup Pivoting in Postgres has sort of been possible as has ....

I’ve been wanting to write this for a long time, just to clarify my thoughts on the subject. Now, on vacations, I took a couple of days and finally did it. This is a personal opinion based on my personal experience and tons of books I have read, and I am not, by any means, the supreme holder of the truth, so you will probably disagree with me at some point.

We released a new version of the introducing Codename One video almost a month ago but we just neglected to highlight it in the blog. Our old videos are pretty dated by now and we use far better toolchains for video production today, so we are in the process of redoing all our old videos. This is a long and tedious process that we do while producing newer content, fixes and moving forward. So the timeline of such updates is quite vola..

I recall extremely early stage where you’d build a feature, realize it was awesome, then the next day write a blog post for it. At some point you start to move from that to more coordinated launches. A larger coordinated launch allows you to reach a bigger audience, can lead to bigger deals, and help expand your overall market. But perhaps more importantly by the time you hit full launch you’ve message tested and ensured it’s going to reson....

And a partridge in a pear tree. Signed up for Janathon (updates will probably be here). Signed up for Dryathlon (Sponsor me!). Decided to do an ad-hoc Jamathon (“Make and upload some musical output every day using one or two mobile apps”). (Yes, I’m going to be insufferable all month.)

Not strictly a music-making app, [Audioshare] gets used for almost all of the things I upload to Soundcloud. But since I managed to accidentally make some “music” with it, I might as well blog about it (and steal the description from Soundcloud). There I was, playing something I’d just made in Soundscaper through Audioshare via Audiobus into Gliderverb when I had the urge to record what was happening since it was sounding ok.

Like a 2D theremin on acid, TC-Performer has a bunch of instruments (all digitally synthed by TC-11 - which is on the wishlist) controlled by multi-touch, movement, etc. Bit tricky to do coherent tunes but excellent for making this kind of swoopy droney chimey kind of space music.
