Analyzing 8 years of my music history with SQL

http://kesdev.com/analyzing-8-years-of-my-music-history-with-sql

Make Break. Repeat. Analyzing 8 years of my music history with SQL. Ever heard an album or a song for the first time and loved it so much you played it on repeat for three days straight? I wanted to dig into my listening history to find out which songs I loved, got sick of, and forgot about for years. Good thing I use Last.fm obsessively. Last.fm is a service that. Keeps track of every song you listen to past the halfway mark. I've been using Last.fm since 2006 and have accumulated a. That time I saw.

Building an iOS Cocoapod that uses the Dropbox Sync API

http://kesdev.com/building-an-ios-cocoapod-that-uses-the-dropbox-sync-api

Make Break. Repeat. Building an iOS Cocoapod that uses the Dropbox Sync API. One of the frameworks we're building at Punch Through Design links to Dropbox to help users access their files from both iOS and their computer. Dropbox provides a very useful Sync SDK for iOS. That makes it easy to access Dropbox accounts. Installing the Dropbox SDK can be complicated, so I simply used Cocoapods to install the Dropbox iOS Sync SDK. For use with our framework. I believe you'll need to change the framework search...

You got LaTeX in my Markdown!

http://kesdev.com/you-got-latex-in-my-markdown

Make Break. Repeat. You got LaTeX in my Markdown! Working title: You got Markdown in my LaTeX! I hate writing documents in Microsoft Word and Apple Pages. I spend way too much time fiddling with formatting, page layout, and typesetting before everything looks the way I want it. And writing math equations, even with Word's GUI equation editor, is tedious and takes too much clicking. I'm a programmer just let me use LaTeX's equation format instead! So just use LaTeX, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

Atom.io, promising but it's not quite there yet

http://joltbox.co.uk/atom-io-promising-but-its-not-quite-there-yet

The usual stuff a web developer rambles on about. Atomio, promising but it's not quite there yet. I had a good long play with the new Atom editor by the folks at github. While I haven't tried to write plugins for it, unlike this guy. I've tried to use it just as I have been Sublime 2 for some time. I know it's in beta and things should get better but a few deal-breakers prevent me from continuing for the immediate future. Scrolling is jerky and horizontal scrolling is almost unusable.

Some OOP best practices

http://joltbox.co.uk/some-oop-best-practices

The usual stuff a web developer rambles on about. Some OOP best practices. I do my best to write decent code but sometimes all I seem to write is smelly code. I'm not sure whether it's me not analysing well enough, a product of the frameworks and language I'm using or just me not being good enough. Either way, here's a few useful articles I've been reading which higlight a couple of OOP best practices. The Law of Demeter. Not a pretty page but stick with it). Proudly published with Ghost.

Snippet to unset assume unchanged on git

http://joltbox.co.uk/snippet-to-unset-assume-unchanged-on-git

The usual stuff a web developer rambles on about. Snippet to unset assume unchanged on git. For some strange reason I needed to unset the assume-unchanged bit on a but of files that were in a git repo. This snippet should help you achieve this:. Git ls-files -v grep 'something or other' grep ' h' awk '{ print $2 }' xargs git update-index - no-assume-unchanged. If you just want to unset all of them, something like this would perhaps suit. Git ls-files -z xargs -0 git update-index - no-assume-unchanged.

Elite Trader

The usual stuff a web developer rambles on about. I've been watching the progress of the new Elite: Dangerous since its kickstarter and although I have access to the Beta, I don't have a windows machine to run it on. I lieu of this, I've put together the beginings of a trade logging site. It's written in angular and is far from finished but it's taught me a lot. You can find it at elite.joltbox.co.uk.
