As for habitat, we’re not using it in production (yet) but it’s a neat way to package up your “app” (whatever that may be) and everything it encompasses (redis, DB, you name it) into a single output artifact (they call them HARTs) in a reproducible manner.

This artifact can then be either run baremetal, inside a traditional container, etc. There’s also a lightweight runtime for these artifacts that allow some awesome things like service discovery, gossip rings, config sharing and updating between multiple instances of these artifacts.

Basically it’s a great way to have an extremely lightweight “environment + your app” (hence the name) that has everything you need except the OS or OS related bits (which is where/why it differs from a container and also why it can be run in a container if needed).

How I got started with Open Source and you can do too.

This is in no way going to be a comprehensive guide on how to get started with open source; its going to be more of a description of my journey.

This might help you if you’re a beginner struggling to make your way into open source.

Keeping XCTest in sync on Linux

Interesting read on some complications with working in #swift on #linux https://t.co/Mt4VWW5m3e #programming

— Michael Dominick (@dominucco) April 16, 2017

Swift is cross-platform, but it behaves differently on Apple platforms vs. all other operating systems, mainly for two reasons:

The Objective-C runtime is only available on Apple platforms.

Foundation and the other core libraries have separate implementations for non-Apple OSes. This means some Foundation APIs may produce divergent results on macOS/iOS and Linux (though the stated goal is implementation parity), or they may simply not be fully implemented yet.

Therefore, when you write a library that doesnʼt depend on any Apple-specific functionality, itʼs a good idea to test your code on macOS/iOS and Linux.

Microsoft kills a major Windows development initiative & becomes one of the top contributors to Go.

Mike has a new love & gets a bit ironic about Ionic. He explains why this framework just might be his new home.

Plus some great feedback & we bask in the dawn of the age of utility.

Microsoft adopts Google’s Go language into Azure

Another $1 Million Crowdfunded Gadget Company Collapses

Remember the Robotic Dragonfly? The little drone was an early crowdfunding success story, netting over a $1 million in pledges on Indiegogo in 2012. At the time, it was one of the first crowdfunded gadgets to raise more than a million dollars. The project promised a tiny robot that can fly like a bird and hover like an insect — and for $99, too. Bad news, friends. This little drone is not taking off as scheduled.

The company announced yesterday that it is in deep financial trouble. But it’s not their fault, the founders say in notes on Indiegogo. It’s PayPal and Indiegogo’s fault for not releasing funds. How much? The company didn’t release that information.

The direction of computing is only going in one way—to the cloud

The direction of computing is going in just one way—towards the cloud. As companies and individuals learn what it can do, many new ways of working are opening up. For example, if you’re selling a service or providing an app via the cloud, all your users are permanently or very frequently connected. You can watch how they use your product, and feed that information straight back into your development cycle to alleviate points of pain or optimise and expand popular areas. That simply wasn’t possible before. You can analyse and act on real-time data to add far more intelligence to your product than your users’ devices can support, as Siri and Google Now already show. The constraints of pre-cloud computing are fading away, and the age of true utility is here.

Ubuntu for Phones holds a lot of promise, but so many glaring questions remain for developers. Can the choice of a powerful toolkit, and a small passionate community really break this new OS into the mobile market? We debate that, answer your emails…

“ was wondering if either of you saw any benefit in writing an application for Ubuntu and Windows (I do not own a Mac) that will plug in to the Ubuntu One api and treat it like dropbox”
