At Mendeley, once a month, we have a hackday. I usually try to think something different to do, for example using our data or our Open-API in a different and new way. So far I’ve built one game, a screensaver, a file system… and also a music/sound generator! […] Should we unit test trivial code? A dilemma that I’ve had long time ago: should I unit test a very trivial code, with a very trivial unit test? Answer: yes. I remember that once I had a class which, in that moment, had only a getter and a setter. Something like: […] A couple of weeks ago I went, for first time, to an unconference. An unconference, like you can read on the Wikipedia, is a conference (or meeting?) without a schedule. In a nutshell: there is a “delegate” (like an organiser) who will book the venue, book some food and drinks, and will start the unconference […] Fa força temps instal·lava un Photoshop a un Mac (per provar una incompatibilitat amb el plugin de Microsoft Word a Mendeley, ja està tot arreglat).

Now it has been the backend of the Tweets Counter (it’s slow but because the graphic is generated in the browser, so the browser receives a .csv file with all the data and prepares it). The backend was doing some unnecessary things. The […] Every now and then I need to do some script or at work some C++ code that operates with dates. It’s not difficult, but because I don’t do it often, and every time the problem is a bit different (now accessing a database, Python and dates) I keep forgetting the best way to do it. […] Acabo de veure que transferències bancàries entre bancs britànics tarda “poca estona”. Fet en divendres a mitjanit, la Web diu que sol tardar unes dos hores, Internet diferents Webs diu que tarda minuts. El fet és que en una hora estava al destí. Sempre trobo curiós que a Espanya es tardi “un dia laborable” a […] |
