The online whiteboard of Kristofer Palmvik
Har fått en del frågor och förstår att väldigt många inte alls har kläm på det här med mikroblogg, eller ens skillnaden mellan mikroblogg och en "vanlig" blogg. Så jag lovade att försöka förklara.
Flera stora nyhetsredaktioner väljer länka bort, eller klistra in kodsnippets från utomståendes web2.0-tjänster, istället för att utnyttja det egna CMS:ets inbyggda funktionalitet.
Heather Dougherty, ansvarig för Research på Hitwise, menar att kategorin "media & news" bara får 21% av sin trafik från sökmotorer, vilket ger den tredje sämsta placeringen i hennes studie. Att jämföra med exempelvis "health & medical" som får 46% av trafiken från sökmotorer.
Temporary Tables are a great T-SQL feature that lets you store and process intermediate results by using the same selection, update, and join capabilities that you can use with typical SQL Server tables.
Voddler released an update to their client today. Here’s a new hack that works with that version. There were some minor protocol changes designed to prevent this hack, but they were easy to circumvent!
This article describes a collaborative hiring process. The manager manages the process, involves the team, and abides by their recommendation. Both have to live with the hiring decision, so both should have a part in it.
Computers are evolving – literally. While the tech world argues netbooks vs notebooks, synthetic biologists are leaving traditional computers behind altogether. A team of US scientists have engineered bacteria that could solve complex mathematical problems faster than anything made from silicon.
In JavaScript, functions are variables which means they can be created and replaced at run time.
We must always, always remember that nobody wants to use our software – they want to finish their work and go play outside.
Trots att de flesta av oss använder teknikprylar varje dag finns det fortfarande många som är rädda för dem. [...] Men hur ska man någonsin kunna lära sig hantera en teknikpryl om man inte vågar experimentera? [...] Jag tror vi måste tänka på att denna osäkerhet existerar när vi designar våra prylar och applikationer. [...] Och vi bör tänka på att uppmuntra till experimenterande.
I did spend a large amount of time deciding on what criteria I should use. I finally settled on this simple one: ‘The people on your friend list should be people with whom you have had at least a couple of proper conversations, FACE TO FACE.’
Ah, but we’re not building cars, are we? The beauty of this is that we have an advantage that car makers don’t have. We can run the factory as many times as we like – and it’s virtually free (all it costs a little bit of power). So, it make more sense to run the factory again and again, carefully observing the outcome, instead of perfecting the instructions before trying. If the product is faulty, we correct it. If it is good but too simple, we add the next feature. We add feature to feature, starting from the crooked screw, until we have a complete car coming out (so to speak). When adding stuff we must always look at the whole as well, otherwise we will end up with something that looks like Homer’s car.
Så när tidningar slutar att innehålla fel och när alla som blir intervjuade blir rättvist representerade, då lovar jag att Wikipedia också kommer att vara felfri. Kom igen, Svenska Dagbladet och Adam Svanell. Ni har massor av anställda – alla högutbildade, ni har mer än 115 års försprång på Wikipedia, ni får årligen 60,9 miljoner i presstöd (av en nettoomsättning på drygt en miljard), och ni har drygt 504.000 läsare. När blir ni felfria? När ser ni till att inga fel slipper igenom era faktagranskningsprocesser?
Min HTC har utsatt mig för en simpel lögn och det känns på något sätt allvarligare än någon annan av dess brister. Vi kan ha svårt att förstå hur våra digitala produkter fungerar men vi accepterar deras små kryptiska meddelanden som sanningar. För en maskin kan väl ändå inte ljuga?
I’m fascinated by the way Facebook operates. It’s a very unique environment, not easily replicated (nor would their system work for all companies, even if they tried). These are notes gathered from talking with many friends at Facebook about how the company develops and releases software.
När jag började på TV4 fick jag lära mig det bästa knepet när man ska testa ljud — fråga vad personen åt till frukost. Om du säger "säg något" blir även den bäste ställd och hummar förbryllat, men de flesta kan svara på vad de åt till frukost.
Google Trender kan hjälpa dig att skapa relevant innehåll till din fanpage utifrån vad din målgrupp är intresserad för tillfället. Låt oss ta ett exempel i realtid.
I’ve found myself looking at a lot of AWR Reports lately and doing the same calculations on them over and over. Converting gets / reads / bytes to KB / MB / GB / TB, converting seconds to hours minutes and seconds, etc. So, I wrote a few lines (~25) of JavaScript (using jQuery) to do some of this math for me. Like many projects, it quickly grew and grew. So, 2,000 lines of JavaScript later, I present to you a google chrome plugin I’ve creatively entitled "AWR Formatter".
I would argue that starting with NoSQL because you think you might someday have enough traffic and scale to warrant it is a premature optimization, and as such, should be avoided by smaller and even medium sized organizations. You will have plenty of time to switch to NoSQL as and if it becomes helpful. Until that time, NoSQL is an expensive distraction you don’t need.
The Improvement Kata guides us in a very focused way from our Current Condition towards our vision. The path goes through a number of intermediate Target Conditions in an iterative manner. (via Agile LEGO – Toyota Kata an alternative to...
I think it will be a while longer before NoSQL databases gain acceptance in the ERP world. However the amount of innovation going on in the NoSQL world is huge and great strides are being taken. I suspect we will start to see NoSQL begin to be used for non-traditional BI via data warehouses. Even adding Google like search to ERP usually involves adding a NoSQL database on the side.
I veckan fick jag än en gång frågan varför det är så. "Varför klarar företag att växa fort för att sedan tappa fart?". Mitt standardsvar på denna fråga är: "De har nog anställd en CFO!".
This article is about Character Encodings or Character Sets. Let’s work through an example to understand the topic.
People don’t want a general-purpose framework for logging and visualising their progress towards personal goals. They want an app that tells them not to eat the donut, that they lost 2lbs this week, or that they just achieved their personal best running time.
why would you ever need to take a substring of someone’s name, or a poem, or the Russian word for "Banana"?
"If current approaches actually worked well, then by now, thousands of organizations would have reached a state of self-sustaining, "freestanding" agility. Clearly, that is not the case." Pondering the question, several possible reasons for this result (or lack of) occurred to me. These are speculative and based on my own experience and observations.
The main problem here is not that we’re late but that we have different perspectives and mistrust each other. We urgently need to re-create a shared view of where we are and want to achieve. We need to start building trust in each other again. The best way to do that I know is to work together, first on the plan and then on the work.
Bill was maintaining a piece of old legacy code that took 40,000 lines to perform what is essentially a logistic regression. ... the program was on the brink of collapsing under the weight of its own complexity. These projects are career death for engineers, because one doesn’t learn transferrable skills by doing them, and because maintenance slogs don’t have a well-defined end or "point of victory".
Microsoft’s Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF) and associated application blocks are excellent pieces of software. However, for a developer coming to them for the first time they can be extremely daunting. I’m going to write a series of short articles that assume you are a developer coming to this for the first time and are confused as I was.
One could say that with "mob programming", the number of people involved in pair programming has simply been cranked up a bit. I quickly learned that there’s more to it
Now, I am not going to go through the details as to why it doesn’t work, but there is a simple reason it doesn’t work: time. More specifically, order of changes.
When iterating over a cursor using {{#each}} a dependency is registered for every single document as well as for the entire query result set. Meaning that a change in a single document will only trigger re-rendering of a single iteration instead of the entire loop. This is a good thing but it has side effects.
What happens if you take the shoreline of a lake, cut it, and unfurl it?
For years WordPress users have enjoyed a constant stream of new features in the core product as well as plugins. This all adds up a technical design and implementation that is not architectonically as sound as it could be.
Varför är er webbsida mer komplicerad än den skylt med filmschema som hänger på alla era biografer?
Inför eftermiddagens diskussion med vår leverantör fick jag några menyer att att titta på. Eftersom jag ändå skrivit ner några snabba kommentarer till dem i ett dokument kan jag väl lika gärna publicera mina tankar här?
Did I mention that storing dates in a character column is a really really bad idea ...
What we are lacking in our industry isn’t talent. There is plenty of talent to go around. What we lack is diversity and all of the benefits diversity brings with it.
Perhaps the best testament to our belief in iterative design is that literally no detail of the initial UI design for Windows 95 survived unchanged in the final product.
Efter åtta månader av planering har gruppen hyrt en minibuss, som nu ska tankas.
För några månader sedan startade mitt produktutvecklingsteam på Hemnet ett experiment. Flera i teamet var nyfikna på att jobba i en mobb.
Den här våren har jag läst en av de jobbigaste böckerna om produktutveckling, helt tack vare Hemnets bokklubb
Det kanske allra svåraste med OKR är att sätta dem på rätt nivå. OKR ska svara på vad vi vill uppnå – inte hur.
Att organisera designers i tvärfunktionella team är bra. Men det finns också en del problem som man behöver ha koll på och jobba med. Några har synts på min arbetsplats, andra har jag tänkt på efter att läst boken Org Design for Design Orgs
På Hemnet har vi tvärfunktionella team och en kultur av att ta stort ansvar i teamen. Men teamen får också ibland agera featureteam och bygga saker som redan är definierade.
Insikterna vi fått från riktig användning gör att vi nu, vecka två, kan fokusera på att fixa rätt saker istället för att bygga potentiellt onödiga saker eller lägga tid på att spekulera kring potentiella problem.
De senaste dagarna har jag jobbat med att tillsammans med Hemnets produktteam definiera nya team missions. Så här blev våra sex team mission statements.
When most developers say “I am refactoring my code”, they’re not performing a sequence of atomic rewrites with continuous testing and frequent working commits. They’re just hacking away at the code, wandering further and further from the path into the deep dark forest.
Mera generellt, om hela teamet hade insett värdet av varje enskild sak, och sett hur kontextswitchande, och många fokus påverkar både en själv och dem runtomkring, för att inte tala om det man bygger, så hade det blivit lättare att göra klart varje grej från A till Ö. Och när man väl inser det, blir det lättare att se hur par- och grupprogrammering bara är fortsättning på den tankegången. Fokus på en sak i taget, fokus på kvalité, fokus på välmående i produkten – och i teamet!
When teams produce code faster than they can understand it, it creates what I’ve been calling “comprehension debt”. If the software gets used, then the odds are high that at some point that generated code will need to change. The “A.I.” boosters will say “We can just get the tool to do that”. And that might work maybe 70% of the time.
I’ve tried this on the C# version of ROUND_3 in Emily’s repo, and it was a lot of fun trying to get Claude to do exactly what I want. It felt a bit like playing real golf with a bazooka. I did manage to get one almost-clean round where I didn’t need to edit the code myself much at all, but – by jingo – we went around the houses!
Why buy a CRM solution or a ERM system when “AI” can generate one for you in hours or even minutes? Why sign up for a SaaS platform when Cursor can spit one out just as good in the blink of an eye? But when we look beyond the noise – beyond these sensational flying saucer reports – we see nothing of the sort.
