Revenue = X
We've been experimenting with app prices for quite some time and again and again we've noticed a funny effect:No matter what price we choose, we always make the same revenue.I attached two charts to illustrate that. I recently lowered the price of the iPad app (http://bit.ly/92xWv1) from 5 to 1 Dollars. At first the sales spike, then they even out to previous levels. Meaning: By cutting the price by factor 5, I am selling exactly 5 x more apps. Then we lowered the price of iA Writer for Mac...

Password-less login
Most websites need user login in order to provide personalized content to visitors. The usual way is to request user to register an user account. Actually, this is not so appealing since if we need to remember one password for each website, it's troublesome, while for developers, it's their responsibility to protect password, once password is leaked, then it's a big headache to a website's business and reputation. So long time ago people started thinking about password-less login, this is a big ...

Resolve high CPU usage issue caused by file_get_contents in PHP
Sometimes a Linux server which runs Nginx + PHP-CGI(php-fpm) web service may experience sudden system load increase and the CPU usage is around 100% for many php-cgi processes when checking with top command. If this happens, file_get_contents may be the cause if it's used in the PHP script. In lots of web applications, normally there are lots of API requests based on HTTP. Many PHP developers like to use file_get_contents("http://example.com/") to get the API response because it's simple to...

Kubernetes Authentication & Authorization 101
If we want to build a system with user modules, Authentication and Authorization are something that we can never ignore, though they could be fuzzy to understand. Authentication (from Greek: αá½θεντικÏŒς authentikos, “real, genuine”, from αá½θÎντης authentes, “author”) is the act of proving an assertion, such as the identity of a computer s...

What? You tattooed code on your arm?
Since I'm seeing so many hits for this page, and since most of you are developers, I thought it might be worth trying to do a little blatant recruiting If you are an exceptional, passionate front end developer (HTML, CSS, JS) and you want to work in an awesome SCRUM team at a huge multinational company in the South of the Netherlands, please drop me a line (DM my Twitter account).There are also opportunities for developers (front and/or back end) and UNIX gurus at another brilliant com...

Ubuntu and GNOME jump the shark
I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 a week or so back in order to get a more recent version of SCons. 11.04 dropped me into the new “Unity†GNOME interface. There may be people in the world for whom Unity is a good idea, but none of them are me. The look is garish and ugly, and it takes twice as many clicks as it did before to get to an application through their supposedly “friendly†interface as it did in GNOME Classic. No, dammit, I do not want to text-search my applic...

The Cognitive Benefits Of Chewing Gum
Why do people chew gum? If an anthropologist from Mars ever visited a typical supermarket, they’d be confounded by those shelves near the checkout aisle that display dozens of flavored gum options. Chewing without eating seems like such a ridiculous habit, the oral equivalent of running on a treadmill. And yet, people have been chewing gum for thousands of years, ever since the ancient Greeks began popping wads of mastic tree resin in their mouth to sweeten the breath. Socrates pr...
That’s Not TDD
A few months ago I was visiting a client who was having a lot of problems using TDD. “It takes over half an hour to run our unit tests,†he said. “You are not doing TDD,†I said. “In order for tests to be valuable all of them must run fast—within a few seconds, or developers will stop running tests frequently.†“But how to I make them run fast?†he asked, “Just connecting to the database takes 30 seconds†So I showed him a techn...
