Getting started with DartBox2d part 2
This is an update to this post as dartbox2d has undergone some drastic changes since that was written over a year ago. Getting the code The first of the main differences is that dartbox2d is now a package hosted on pub. Getting the code is a matter of having a pubspec.yaml file in the root […]

Dancin’ Fool
Every night, Mirto and I make a point of dancing with the #geekling 1. A couple of weeks ago, it was Rage Against the Machine mosh night, a few nights ago, it was slow dancing to Nina Simone, and tonight it was retro night with Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors and MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This. I learned a few things: […]

Visualizing M-Lab data with BigQuery: Part Two
When I wrote Part One, I wasn’t aware that it was going to need a Part Two. However, I was unsatisfied with the JavaScript version and the limitations incurred by trying to build a live app. I also wanted to make movies to show the time series of the data. As such, I rewrote the […]

Visualizing M-Lab data with BigQuery
I recently moved to a new group at Google: M-Lab. The Measurement Lab is a cross-company supported platform for researchers to run network performance experiments against. Every experiment running on M-Lab is open source, and all of the data is also open; stored in Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery. One of the great things about […]

Don’t fuck it up
Four years ago, Mirto and I arrived in the US from Singapore. When we boarded the plane at Changi International airport we didn’t know who would be president when we landed. When we arrived at San Francisco International airport, the ebullience and jubilation made it clear that a horrible mistake had been avoided. I’d like […]

Embedding the Dart VM: Part One
The Dart VM can be run as a standalone tool from command-line, and is embedded in a branch of Chromium named Dartium, but all of the public instructions I could find only discuss how to extend the VM with native methods. Definitely useful, but there are some applications when it would be useful to directly embed the […]

Castle in the cloud
As I get to grips with thinking about the future with the weighty responsibility of another actual person depending on me for survival and development, it’s tempting to attempt to recreate my childhood for her. My childhood was pretty special, as it happens. I grew up on a small island, with close friends living nearby, […]

Sweet Child O’ Mine
Today is the last day I won’t be a parent. I feel like I should write something about this, about how it feels, but I’m not sure I can even begin to collect and analyse all the busyness in my head. So where to start? Firstly, I thought I’d be anxious, but I’m not particularly. […]

Benchmarking DartBox2d
Joel Webber wrote this excellent blog post in which he tests native versions of Box2D against Javascript implementations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he discovered that native code is around 20 times faster than JavaScript. Having just released DartBox2d, I was curious to see how Dart stacks up against these results. It should be noted that the Dart version […]
