Roborock brand (Xiaomi) uses visual + lidar + bumpers. Supposedly it can avoid pet poop.

Just got through consulting for a shop that thought a similar bespoke migration system was all they needed. Since the team was quite large and the CI/CD pipeline so slow, tons of time got wasted every sprint resolving the merge conflic

Competition is good for consumers. It's very brave of Tim Sweeney et al. to take up this cause, and I hope they succeed. We shouldn't tolerate the monopolies, duopolies, and _opolies of our age. The early 20th century progressives

Classic "virtual surround" works like you've noticed in VLC. I believe the new spatial audio formats (including Apple's) all use a standard HRTF (head-related transfer function) that approximates an average person's

Do you know how it compares to Dolby Atmos for headphones, DTS Headphone:X, and Windows Sonic? Those solutions all work with conventional stereo headphones. Edit: after more reading I believe the main difference is the sensors in the Airpod

Cool. What sort of "path for new players to have a meaningful impact on the game world" does EVE provide?

Taking care of instantiation AND teardown saves devs from doing quite a lot of work. Do you use Dagger for your DI needs or do you roll your own container?

Without DI frameworks and IoC class design, good luck testing your OO code. I also don't get the Spring hate and what that has to do with creating "one big function and a few global variables."

Hilariously, this is basically the pattern everyone figured out long ago with Windows Forms apps. Model View Presenter with decoupled events that are fired off to any subscribed listeners. Multiple screens and models can be updated as neede

Can you tell me if the M3 (time series db) team is still healthy? I was planning to evaluate it soon.

That's a fair criticism about auditing. Doing it through database triggers avoids the problem with audits being missed because of code that doesn't participate in the Hibernate lifecycle (including native SQL queries and Criteria

We’re really regretting going with MyBatis. Huge waste of time when most queries could be easily handled with Spring Data JPA. Also now that we need auditing there’s a pile of work we could have have gotten mostly free with an Envers annota

Lispy in the "processing lists" is easy and natural sense, but not in the more powerful "homoiconicity=code is data and data is code" sense.

Interesting. Looks like Kasper and Lund are on a mission to fix the IoT mess and "democratize embedded development". I'm looking forward to their product launch.

I don't get all this about Spring being an "insane" way to do DI. It works well enough, and Pivotal is very thorough with their documentation. I would much rather RTFM than dig randomly through the code and hope I find what I

Aren’t retinol creams just as effective and much safer? They worked well for me from in my late teenage years.

It's a bit anachronistic to compare Lisp's goals from 40 years ago to current JS situation. The latter we're stuck with for political reasons, while the former really did need to overcome hardware limitations to be successful

The more pixels you throw at font rendering, the better. It also allows for cleaner upscaling from lower resolutions. However, those two uses are needed more on computer monitors, not TVs. You are right that most folks with 50-65" TVs

Saw a presentation from the Azul guys about Zing last year. They have a very impressive product, and the number of ex-Sun engineers is reassuring. They also seem to have a good relationship with Oracle. Among the repackaged OpenJDK offering

I bet. After doing the Kotlin Koans I'm itching to get away from Java. There is a JHipster Kotlin blueprint that generates the backend code with Kotlin instead of Java. Can't wait to use it.

Groovy and Grails are still around but probably not as big a push anymore. I would highly recommend JHipster to bootstrap a new Spring Boot app. It does monoliths or microservices and gives you a great scaffold to build on top of.

HOCON is a very nice configuration format that should be preferred to JSON and YAML - it really deserves more adoption. I always reach for Lightbend Config on non-Spring projects.

I haven't had any issues after sweaty runs either. Occasionally they won't sit right in the case and won't be charged though, likely due to being upside down in the gym bag.

Data classes will reduce the need for Lombok/immutables. Less so for value types.

With new consoles in 2020 and a stronger push from Microsoft for cloud gaming, I'd say 2022. Cloud gaming needs a killer multiplayer game that requires massive parallel compute (thus it can't be run locally) to make a case for sti

It’s not just Java, it’s any programmer with proficiency in any other language, including those that are quite proficient at JavaScript. The sentiment after our team wrapped up a recent Node project for a client was basically “the internet
