Pre-context (skippable): I have not written here for around 8 years — a lot of had to do switching to a management career where topics are much more sensitive to discuss and the proliferation of LinkedIn posts has both drive traffic away from “blog posts”…

Been working on this for the last year.

I was fortunate to give a talk on Video at DroidCon SF 2016 in March, the video is finally up (Slides):

A SurfaceTexture connects a GLProducer with a GLConsumer on Android, it's easy to swap the producer, since you just disconnect the producer on any thread, and it's easy to swap the consumer if you are in control of the thread that originally generated it.

It's fun and easy to build an app and launch it, but then it comes maintaining it, and you keep adding features, events, and business logics.

So you just joined a team, or you are working on a part of code that you forgot the file/class names and you want to do a new feature or fix some bugs and not sure where to start.

Though I was not impacted by Twitter's recent house clean (fact: 0 of Vine Engineering was impacted because, I decided it is time for me to get back to the startup world again.

Part 1 Part 2 One thing that was learned while building the capturing part of Vine for Android was dealing with all the raw buffers in order to satisfy the stop motion requirements.

For consumers?

After joining Vine for just 10 weeks and starting the app from scratch with @pandemona and help from the rest of the team, Vine for Android is now on Google Play Store.

tl;dr modify the setOffScreenLimit dynamically.

Yesterday, Cooper Union's administration has announced that Cooper will no longer offer 100% free scholarship starting with the incoming freshman in fall 2014.

I think I'm going through different phases of becoming a better programmer these days and the feeling is really good.

Since school has ended for me last month, I started on Endroid, an experimental project for me to build a self-ware robot (project plan).

2012 is almost over.

Thanks Linus for writing the stupid content tracker [1] for the 1 millionth time.
