You mean not being able to access specific user data due to hitting the rate limits of the API? In that case, you can always cache the data (using the cache facilities of the data virtualization layer) and create a hybrid real time/cac

Take a look at data virtualization. It's an alternative to data warehousing without the burden of making mutiple copies of the data; instead, it retrieves the information fron source systems in real time. The "single view of custo

Is this still an issue for you? It would be interesting to discuss a solution.

Great news about the support for all the SVG tags and attributes. Now I can get rid of ugly dangerouslySetInnerHTML hacks for unsupported elements :)

Thank you! Alas, I did not. I am fully behind the open source/free software movement(s), but right now I am at a point in my life where I can't manage and support an open source project as my availability is super spotty. Also, yo

That's awesome! I should know because I also created my own RSS aggregator after the demise of Google Reader. Here's a screenshot https://imgur.com/YHJOiEX It fills my needs perfectly because I created it specific

Oh wow. I was in the early stages of creating something exactly like this this myself - looks good guys!

I'm not on that level but I put manual both measurements and endomondo readouts in a csv file, in my dropbox account. I update it daily with aggregates from the last day and seems to be working ok so far.

Any concrete example of issues with Swing, or just general discomfort?

Nice! Playing spacewar on the real hardware was one of the big highlights of my last visit to the Mountain View Computer History Museum (the other one being seeing the recreation of the Difference Engine actually working).

If I had to guess the reason, I would say that the new Windows devices are going to include many more small screens, which MS forecasts will make secondary (bigger) displays much more common than with traditional Windows PCs.

Looks interesting. A little bit of feedback: - I didn't like that the table of contents disappeared on me when I clicked on a page. - Related to this, it would be great for the progress widget to show the actual name of each page/

Not really. In Java it's a leaky abstraction - it's true that the JVM does a lot of micromanagement for you, but if you are careless you start getting exceptions (best case scenario) or start to get mysterious changes in your data

Hey there, I just tried it and my experience was not very satisfactory. I imagine you are interested on the feedback so there it goes: video quality was low (super choppy, video was getting frozen at several points), voice quality was low (

The flip side of spreading your data across several providers is that you are increasing the odds of finding a problem. But the problem will have a smaller impact (hopefully).

That looks fantastic, and seems to be in alignment with some things I have been doing lately (generating the server side controller of the API in Clojure + a set of documentation, from a set of definitions of API methods). Good job!

I have done a lot of interface design (ex-lead UX at my company) and I used Inkscape. It's great, easy to use and fulfills all the needs I had. Actually, using Inkscape was what put me in that role; my mockups were way better than ever

I do a very similar thing at my job, but instead of showing the results I ask for a report such as "we want to get X,Y and Z for the Ws where P holds true".

That's why enterprise customers demand source code escrow clauses, for protection against that same scenario.

In my experience mulltimethods get you a long way when writing Clojure code. My projects use them often and add two or three macros. That is normally the only "overhead" I have to impose over regular functions. That said, in the e

I am actually writing a REST authentication service right now. The idea is to do it well once, and then reuse it in my other projects. It uses HTTP basic auth; as it is going to be called from the backend of my other projects it will not ha

Removing the first hurdle for new side projects: user authentication, via a centralized REST service. Less initial friction = more projects.

I am tired of repeating this again and again, so I am doing some yak shaving and creating a hosted rest service for managing user accounts and authentication. I will use it as basic infrastructure for future projects.
