A few years ago, I took on a freelance project to implement an Internet Explorer component in C++. I was billing a healthy hourly rate on other projects at the time, but this particular client insisted on a fixed price. In a bout of temporary insanity, I made an exception and accepted the pre-agreed budget. After all, the project was fairly intriguing and the requirements were straightforward. What could possibly go wrong?

The android-apt plugin assists in working with annotation processors in combination with Android Studio. It has two purposes:

Allow to configure a compile time only annotation processor as a dependency, not including the artifact in the final APK or library

Set up the source paths so that code that is generated from the annotation processor is correctly picked up by Android Studio.

This plugin requires the android or android-library plugin (version 0.9.x or up) to be configured on your project.

DAGGER 2 - A New Type of dependency injection via IFTTT

Facebook ist sehr bemüht, einem immer wieder Gruppen, Seiten und potenzielle neue Freunde vorzuschlagen, von denen es denkt, sie könnten zu einem passen. Allzu oft liegt der zugrundeliegende Algorithmus jedoch mit seiner Intention komplett daneben, denn er weiss z.B. nicht, ob man sich aus kontroversem oder wohlwollendem Interesse mit bestimmten Schlagworten beschäftigt hat. So schlug mir das System kürzlich vor, einer Gruppe mit dem schönen Namen “Impfen…NEIN danke!!!!!” [sic!] beizutreten.

The term “Microservice Architecture” has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business capability, automated deployment, intelligence in the endpoints, and decentralized control of languages and data.
