Sugru, it works!

I recently broke my glasses and unfortunately it is a part that cannot be replaced. Sigh!

I thought to myself, this is the perfect opportunity to try Sugru! (Amazon affiliate link) For those of you who have never heard of Sugru, you need to watch the following video:



So I bought a pack of Sugru at Rough Trade East, a really nice record, Sugru and Arduino shop in East London. Then I found this tutorial: How to replace missing pads on glasses, and I gave it a try. I am pretty happy with the result:

IntelliJ IDEA not starting: Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size

IntelliJ IDEA didn't want to start this morning. Got the following error when trying to start it from a shell: Error occurred during initialization of VM Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size What happened is that IntelliJ IDEA loaded the JVM Options from the new custom vmoptions file in the config directory. On Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.1\idea64.exe.vmoptions On macOs: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.1/idea.vmoptions This file was not updated properly when I updated IntellIJ IDEA. It contained: -Xms4g -Xmx2048m Fixed the issue by editing this file: -Xms4g -Xmx4g Source: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004701620-idea-vmoptions-not-used-by-default

Pair Programming good practices from my experience

Get the best hardware you can .  Saving on hardware is stupid . One big screen is better than two . It is easier to look at the same thing .  Always talk out loud what you think . Your pair cannot read your mind . Switch roles frequently . At least every 25 minutes . It helps the pair stay focused. Take breaks . A day of pair programming can be exhausting! Use Test Driven Development . It helps you keep track of what your doing. It can improve the quality of your code. But do not forget the goal which is code that works, not test coverage .

Lucky you, someone already started a project to do this: play2-maven-plugin . Unfortunately, this Maven plugin does not support hot reloading yet, which makes the development process painful. To make it short, you still need SBT to enjoy Play 2 hot reloading feature... but you do not want to have to maintain both Maven and SBT configurations. The trick is to configure SBT from Maven pom files with sbt-pom-reader . This is how you need to configure your play2-maven project: <my-maven-project>/ pom.xml <- Your maven build build.sbt <- the sbt Play 2 configuration project/ build.properties <- the sbt version specification build.scala <- the sbt build definition plugins.sbt <- the sbt plugin configuration ...
