Listen to Podcast 106: Shipping | iDeveloper.
A few notes:
- RemObjects C# on iOS is based on LLVM, so I assume the other platforms use that too.
- Both guys are really busy shipping stuff, and it is hard.

Hellingshoek zonnepanelen plat dak (via: Zonne-Energie bij Fam. Haanappel)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/13
Interessant weetje over zonnepanelen: lagere hellingshoek tegenover verlies capaciteit, tegenover winst door extra panelen: lagere hellingshoek wint altijd.

WITH IS EVIL! (via: Paul Foster – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/13
Yet another example of somehow who got bitten hard by using the with statement (I decided to give with its own category on my blog).
This time it got shared by Paul Foster on G+ and comes down to this:
Even in unsuspiciously looking code, the wit statement can bite you, especially if you need to do refactoring and (because of that) introduce two names in the same scope.
Or in Paul‘s words:
Whilst upgrading the code to remove the Containers unit (its not supported on NextGen platforms, so I have to make things work with Generics.Collections instead, (bye bye D7 support for this code) and refactor a couple stupidities in my original design (they always creep in, don’t they) I ended up with two class members of the same name. The with block then looked OK but I was in fact not access the member I thought I was.

BBC Radio 4 Extra: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Game – 30th Anniversary Edition
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/13
I sense a lot of procrastination coming up, as the BBC just released this:
The text part is still the same as the original InfoCom game from 30 years ago. This is the 2nd BBC remake of THHGTTG game. Unlike the 20th anniversary edition that had pictures that seemed random, the 30th anniversary edition now has pictures that make sense for your context.
One of the reasons I like the game so much is that it stays close to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Radio Series and Book.

7 Pro Tips to Make Travel More Efficient (via @Mashable) misses @AirBnB for finding a place to stay
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/13
The 7 Pro Tips to Make Travel More Efficient posting on Mashable has a really interesting set of tips.
But in the final section Book only the first night, I’m missing a reference to AirBnB as an addition to HotelTonight and WeHostels, even though Mashable has a separate AirBnB posting category.
AirBnB is often cheaper than hotels, and more importantly gets you in touch with locals that can get you to the hotspots for dining, etc.

Some links about VMware ESXi, SSD and TRIM/UNMAP support
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/13
These posts seem to describe the current state of the art about ESXi and SSD support, especially with respect to TRIM/UNMAP:
- Does ESXi support TRIM on SSDs and does it function? | FreeNAS Community.
- VMware Front Experience: FAQ: Using SSDs with ESXi.
- ESXi 5.1 + SSD’s = A headache in the making | Life of Stu.
- TinkerTry IT @ home | SSD Background Garbage Collection and VMware ESXi 5.
Oh: many people boot their ESXi server from USB as it gives them more flexibility:
