On the last episode of From Inside the Box, we found our pickup truck protagonist in the throes of a struggle for survival: not of flesh, but of his very livelihood. Where will he go? What will he do? Will he ever understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch™? Find out on this episode eventually…maybe. Just kidding. I don’t plan to talk about any of those things today. Instead, we’re going to talk about poor decisions,..

I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with neural-style the last month. I think I’ve discovered a few exciting applications of the technique that I haven’t seen anyone else do yet. The true power of this algorithm really shines when you can see concrete examples. Skip to the Applications part of this post to see the outputs from my experimentation if you are already familiar with DeepDream, Deep Style, and all the other latest happe....

This was to be my very first CTF challenge, and what better time to start than during the festive period! Lots of chocolate, alcohol, and mix in a bit of hacking. Perfect to improve my skills and prove my theoretical knowledge hasn’t gone to waste. So… lets get started: Download PCAP from ‘Josh’ wget http://holidayhackchallenge.com/2015/giyh-capture.pcap Download Python script from ‘Josh’ wget http://holidayhackchallenge.com..

We - at the dev-sec.io -team - create Ansible (and Puppet and Chef) roles that harden the security of our Linux-servers. They are meant to be used in production so we try to provide these roles to several different operating systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat and its derivates. Manually testing the roles on many different systems is a very time-consuming task: You’ll have to set up a virtual machine, update it, install Ansible, ru....

Heute erst hab ich ein Artikel über idea debt gelesen - die große Anzahl an aufgeschriebenen Ideen kann eher hinderlich sein, und wie eine todo-Liste wirken, die man abarbeiten muss. Wer will denn sowas? Aber wohin mit den Ideen, mit den halb ausgesprochenen, halb im Mund hängenden Gedanken? Womit mit halb guten Fotos und unpassenden Anfängen? Vielleicht an diesen Ort? Vielleicht gefällt es ihnen in diesem ruhigen Teich.

When you work in the software industry, indubitably you will find the (now very famous)BOFH, and Clients from Hell material, where a technical person complains about a client. Whether they asked for an impossible thing or software that doesn’t even make sense, the common mood (or at least what I get from them) is that the client is somewhat stupid, or short sighted. I don’t want to discuss whether the clients are on the right or not, but I ..

In case you missed it, we recently merged a default seccomp profile for Docker containers. I urge you to try out the default seccomp profile, mostly so we can rest easy knowing the defaults are sane and your containers work as before. You can download the master version of Docker Engine from master.dockerproject.org or experimental.docker.com . We even have a doc describing the syscalls we purposely block and security vulnerabilit....

Problem: Estimate the number of distinct items in a data stream that is too large to fit in memory. Solution: (in python) import random def randomHash(modulus): a, b = random.randint(0,modulus-1), random.randint(0,modulus-1) def f(x): return (a*x + b) % modulus return f def average(L): return sum(L) / len(L) def numDistinctElements(stream, numParallelHashes=10): modulus = 2**20 hashes = [randomHash(modulus) for _ in range(numParallelHashes)..

I often find myself creating one-off scripts to scrape data off websites for various reasons. My go-to approach for this is to hack something together with Requests and BeautifulSoup , but this was getting tiring. Enter Cyborg , my library that makes writing web scrapers quick and easy.

Been a fan of highlight-thing-mode . It automatically highlights all instances of symbol at point. Today, I gave highlight-symbol a try. Similar concept, but also adds the ability to jump to next/previous instances of symbol at point. (use-package highlight-symbol :ensure t :config (set-face-attribute 'highlight-symbol-face nil :background "default" :foreground "#FA009A") (setq highlight-symbol-idle-delay 0) (setq highlight-symbol..

From Gandhi: Radical Wisdom for a Changing World : Anger "I do get angry, but I feel angry with myself for it. Full conquest of anger is possible only through self-realization. We should love even those who have the worst opinion of us. This is ahimsa, the rest is only ignorance."

Introducing Quick Thoughts Thinking about ways to share my tech thoughts and engage with the Internet, I've been feeling frustrated by twitter's tweet length limit and ensuing conversation and clarification struggles. But also the relatively high friction of a blog post has been limiting as well. A new idea I'm going to try is to quickly log "Thoughts of the Week" then edit and curate them into a weekly blog post. I'll be doing this using ....

A few hours ago I was notified that I have been awarded with the Microsoft MVP Award for Development Technologies. This came totally unexpected. Especially so considering that during the last few years I have been splitting my time between Microsoft and other open source technologies. My public work has mostly been on Python and MongoDB. Yes I also released .NET open source projects in the meantime (more are coming soon) and yes, I wrote ..

From HBR's 9 Productivity Tips from People Who Write About Productivity : Block time away from reactive tasks (email). Business = wasted energy. Exercise, sleep, and 90 minute work bursts. Incomplete tasks prompt healthy thinking out of context. Time off or stepping back is invaluable. Genuinely help were most successful/enjoyable. Plan for saying no while highlighting priority and seeking feedback. Measure important behavior change. Mak..

2015 was an interesting year, and one that I really enjoyed! I spent a lot of time getting/restoring/playing the last few arcade machines that I’ve wanted in my arcade collection - I just love the retro arcade hobby! As a result, I won’t be getting or restoring any more in 2016 at all (I have a few arcades that I want to work on to upgrade, but that’s about it). I’ll be spending most of my time playing them!
