peripatetic axiom: 12/27/2009 - 01/03/2010
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2009_12_27_archive.html
Software, systems and management thereof. I'm tossing this idea out into the world. It's half-formed and I'm learning as I go along. It may be invalid, it may be old news, it may not. What I'm hoping for is that someone who knows more about at least one of testing and Bayesian inference than I do will come and set me straight. In addition, a bunch of folks kindly came along to an open space session. At Xp Day London. This year. Here is the commentary of one. You may have read. An elephant in the room.

peripatetic axiom: 03/21/2010 - 03/28/2010
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010_03_21_archive.html
Software, systems and management thereof. I wish that the people in the software industry who bang on about a need for "software engineering" showed more evidence of ever having met an engineer. The latest run at it, SEMAT. Seems to be making the same old mistakes all over again. Definitions, theory, universals? Are these really the things that the software industry is lacking? Similarly, the presence of a spring bow compass in the SEMAT logo worries me. The 60's effort at SE also confused the contin...

Software, systems and management thereof. Trying to spread the good word on "testing" vs "checking" in this article. For T E. S. T. Magazine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I work for Zuhlke. 160;in London, but nothing I write here should be considered a statement of the policies or practices of Zuhlke Ltd.

Software, systems and management thereof. Hiring in London: Lead and Principle Consultants. The role is based in London and the majority of the work takes place in UK but on occasion training and consulting engagements may be delivered anywhere in the world. The competitive package includes 20 days of professional development time per year. Experience in a leading role like Scrum Master is required. They will be experienced in coaching individuals and teams in effective use of current good practices ...

peripatetic axiom: Government IT projects: who can politicians listen to?
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010/05/government-it-projects-who-can.html
Software, systems and management thereof. Government IT projects: who can politicians listen to? As you may have heard, the UK has at the time of writing a rather confusing new government. We, and I suspect, they are still trying to understand what this means. One thing that it might mean is an opportunity for government departments to change the way they deal with their IT suppliers. Recently (ie during the Labour administration we had since 1997 until 2010), it hasn't gone well. The Conservatives] bega...

peripatetic axiom: No More Than Two
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010/10/no-more-than-two.html
Software, systems and management thereof. No More Than Two. London’s “convenience” stores are replacing staffed checkouts with self-service robots. Some of these offer lessons in user interface design painful to behold. I watched with interest as my co-emptor pondered this. And then she did the only reasonable thing: she went and got a second pack. After all, it does say you may only. Quite what anyone is supposed to make of the yes/no buttons following a statement not a question I don't know. Measure th...

peripatetic axiom: fixed-length iterations: a transitional practice
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010/05/fixed-length-iterations-transitional.html
Software, systems and management thereof. Fixed-length iterations: a transitional practice. I find it had to think of a development practice that isn't almost certainly a transitional practice. Configuration management, maybe. Anyway, Scrum, XP, and all the rest I've come to understand as each a record of a reaction against some bad condition, with transitional practices to get a team away form that condition to a better one. Fo example, as Michael Feathers says in this post. I haven’t tried it wit...

Writing a Parallel Sort on glsl.heroku.com | Jaksa's Blog
https://jaksa.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/writing-a-parallel-sort-on-glsl-heroku-com
Programming, Software Engineering, Computer Science. Writing a Parallel Sort on glsl.heroku.com. Most of the shaders on glsl.heroku.com. Are stateless. They define a function from the screen coordinates and time to a colour. This is a very neat paradigm because it forces you to write fast parallel algorithms, but sometimes it can be quite restrictive. We will examine how to write a less trivial algorithm using a shader: a parallel sort. In order to simulate state we will use a backbuffer:. At the moment ...

Ateji PX | Jaksa's Blog
https://jaksa.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/ateji-px
Programming, Software Engineering, Computer Science. I recently came across this technology called Ateji PX. Fundamentally it’s Java extended with some parallel constructs. It is really easy to learn and provides a much cleaner programming paradigm than explicit thread creation. The concept is pretty simple. You can execute statements in parallel just by writing:. DoSomeStuff(); doSomeOtherStuff(); ]. Int x,y; [x = calculateX(); y = calculateY();] return x y;. Float[] foo = new float[100]; for (#BlockCou...
