Project Activity Metrics, Charts, and Stuff

Friday, September 25, 2015 - 11:55 by Wayne Beaton

Yesterday we were reminded that it is difficult to provide good activity metrics. Certainly Git commit statistics are a good means of indicating that there is activity, but different styles of development can leave very different impressions: a lot of very small commits leaves the impression that there is more activity than a smaller number of large commits.

Toggle Line Numbers in Eclipse

Monday, March 30, 2015 - 17:46 by Wayne Beaton

I’ll admit that I’m dumbfounded by how much people care about whether line numbers are on or off by default in Eclipse. Put the cursor into the gutter area to the left of the editor and right-click to bring up the context menu, select “Toggle Line Numbers” to change the state to match your preference.
