Large Hadron Collider goes Rap ;)
Some scientists working on the LHC at the Cern of Geneva had a cool idea to make people aware of “what” they are going to do. On the 10th of September there will be the First Beam (more info on the official website/blog), and I like the way they make sure people understand it’s NOT the end of the World.
My personal answer to them is:
Hey man, this shit is good!

I can’t put it any simpler: buy and read those 2 books ASAP.
Getting Real
Rework
This is proper stuff. This is stuff that translates into words what you, THE DEVELOPER, would like to have in your daily work life.
And probably the reason for which having a pet project, something where you set the rules, helps remaining sane,

This is a set of commets to some of the asserts made by Steve Jobs in his Thoughts on Flash.

This took some patience. Not to take the pictures themselves, but to bear with a group of trip-mates that were either freezing or bored to wait for me to take this 12 pictures -_-

Show this to as much peoples as possible. It probably something some informed/smart people already know, but I admit that having someone making a video of it, makes it more “rememberable”, so more effective on (my) future behaviour.
I’m cheese? I’m controllable through videos? Possibly, but in this case I’m OK with that.

iPhone ruleZ
Other OS? I’m not even taking into consideration old stuff like Symbian: is just too easy to trash it now-days (Qt is a whole different story though).

Imagine you have a Binary Tree, with those characteristics:
Nodes do not respect any order relation – In other words: it’s not a Binary Search Tree of any kind
Every node appears once and only once within the tree
A nice Binary Tree
Then, your little brother passes by your desk and, to upset you, deletes the tree from
Serverless chat to reduce office distance
about 7 months ago - 6 comments
This idea comes out for an old university-time idea: to write a serverless chat application. Of course, I’m aware of the complications and the problems that using Broadcasting could create, so this problems would be took in consideration by design.
But why now? I was thinking of a way to reduce the “office distances”: making easy
