Stop using anemic daily stand-up questions | Software on a String

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/15

TL;DR:

Reminding everybody of the actual purpose of the daily stand-up and of the goal(s) you have for the sprint may be all that’s needed to give the shortened versions some much needed context and focus.

Always read the Scrum guide, as it states the purpose of this meeting:

The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours.

Delphi: do not mix interfaces and classes part X

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/15

A very interesting discussion on what the mixing of interfaces and classes can get you into: [WayBack] I’ve got an interface with generics which accepts classes:IMyGeneric = interface…..end;What I want to do is to allow this interface to… – John Kouraklis – Google+

TL;DR: do not mix interfaces and classes.

As often, Asbjørn Heid chimes in showing some insight on clever mixing of the two with sample code accepting an unconstrained type. Don’t do that unless you really know what’s going on behind the scenes.

GitHub – keith-turner/ecoji: Encodes (and decodes) data as emojis

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/14

[WayBack] GitHub – keith-turner/ecoji: Encodes (and decodes) data as emojis:

Ecoji 🏣🔉🦐🔼

Ecoji encodes data as 1024 emojis, its base1024 with an emoji character set. As a bonus, includes code to decode emojis to original data.

Sick. Works splendid when all your systems are fully nice to Unicode.

None are. So there’s a German word for it:

Nein

Medisch dossier | Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens: wie heeft recht op inzage/wijziging/verwijdering van welke gegevens en waarom wel/niet?

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/14

[Archive.is] Medisch dossier | Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, meer details in [Archive.is] praktijkgids_patientgegevens_in_de_cloud_def.pdf.

Doordat een combinatie van regelgeving van toepassing kan zijn – waaronder “Wet op de geneeskundige behandelingsovereenkomst” (WGBO), “Wet bescherming persoonsgegevens” (Wbp) of/en “Wet bijzondere opnemingen in psychiatrische ziekenhuizen” (Wet Bopz) – is het een lastig gebied, niet alleen voor jezelf, maar ook voor ouders/verzorgers/vertegenwoordigers.

Bovenstaande link heeft meer informatie over wie er recht heeft op inzage/wijziging/verwijdering van welke gegevens en waarom wel/niet.

Aerotwist – 🌟 When everything’s important, nothing is! 🌟

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/14

Interesting read of about 20 minutes on the time between the request of an URL and the actual visible rendering clues.

Do libraries and frameworks prioritize components on boot? If so, how, and if not what can we do? And, in exploring that question, I discovered that Server-Side Rendering isn’t a silver bullet!

Source: [WayBack] Aerotwist – 🌟 When everything’s important, nothing is! 🌟

The state about a year ago was that progressive rendering had the best results as seen on the right.

I wonder if that has changed by now.

kdzwinel/betwixt: Web Debugging Proxy based on Chrome DevTools Network panel.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/14

This is a great complimentary tool to Http Fiddler on Windows and Mac OS X, and the only tool on Linux (that is not covered by Http Fiddler): kdzwinel/betwixt: Web Debugging Proxy based on Chrome DevTools Network panel.

15 months later: what happened to Delphi Language Enhancements?

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/13

This is a reminder to myself to see what Idera has accomplished in 15 months on the suggested [WayBack] Delphi Language Enhancements after it bought Embarcadero some 30 months ago on credit and 21 months after firing a very large portion of the Delphi R&D team even outside Spain.

The odd thing is that despite all the Borland, Inprise, Codegear and Embarcadero hassle Delphi has always survived. So lets this be my reminder to investigate what happened.

uitcheckgemist.nl

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/12

Een aantal jaar met wat minder OV en ik heb gemist dat dit in 2015 is geïntroduceerd: uitcheckgemist.nl [WayBack 2015]:

Niet in- of uitgecheckt? Vraag je saldo terug in drie simpele stappen!

Hoe werkt dit?

  1. Vul je OV-chipkaart gegevens in
  2. Halte of station
  3. Bevestiging Je gegevens

Goed om te weten: het kan even duren voordat je rit op deze website wordt getoond. In de meeste gevallen kun je je saldo binnen 14 dagen terugvragen.

Je kunt er ook een email adres registreren voor een automatische melding (maximaal 3 keer per jaar) als je bent vergeten uit of in- te checken.
