Why should you care about problem-solving? Problem solving is one of the most important skills in life and work. At an early age, we learn to deal with simple problems, big and small. From our first wobbly steps, where we solve the problem of balancing on two ridiculously small feet at the end of our limbs, to figuring out the right shaped block to go in the right shaped hole - the round block goes in the round hole, of course, of course!

Last week I attended the Open Source Firmware Conference . It was amazing! The talks, people, and overall feel of the conference really left me feeling inspired and lucky to attend. Having been pushed to attend vendor conferences and trade shows through my career for various jobs, it was so refreshing to have the chance to hang out with folks from such a genuine community that really just want to help one another. When the talks hit Yo....

tl;dr this is a recount of the nightmare I have experienced trying to find faster way to implement financial model. I think in general it gives a good overview of how software engineering go hammock with things that seems like sensible choices. We went from a model running in 4 minutes to around 30 seconds, the optimization part is still noticeable. When I give time estimates in this article they must be understood as very fuzzy, my ....

I recently read “The race for an artificial general intelligence: implications for public policy” at work. I don’t want to pick on this paper in particular, but there’s only so many times I can read sentences such as: “the problem with a race for an AGI is that it may result in a poor-quality AGI that does not take the welfare of humanity into consideration” before I can’t take it any more. This is just the paper that tipped me over....

What a cool idea from TJ Holowaychuk. For a while before I re-released First Crack , my static blog engine, I used a custom Node.js frontend to serve my site. I ended up overhauling the project to build a static website instead, but I could have just used this neat trick instead. Permalink.

Here is a simple yet useful trick to access web interface within your cluster. As stated in the Kubernetes documentation you can use kubectl proxy. I’ve seen a lot of people using the proxy to access the dashboard but you can use it to access any web interfaces, without the need to create an ingress and protect it, especially useful in dev environment. http://kubernetes_master_address/api/v1/namespaces/namespace_name/services/service_name[:..

You should never put a management controller like an iLOM onto the open internet, they're not designed for that level of exposure and are near guaranteed to be compromised. To allow remote access, use either a VPN, or tunnel via a jumpbox. If possible, it's far simpler and easier to use SShuttle to tunnel out to an iLO via your jumpbox instead. If, for whatever reason that isn't is possible, then it's possible to set up a straight S..

Indickí predkovia vedeli o prínosoch jógy pred viac ako 5000 rokmi. Moderní ľudia, konvenčná medicína a predovšetkým skeptici majú potrebu mať, aj čo sa týka jógy, vedecké dôkazy. Tu sú tri najnovšie. Aj keď je známe, že obvyklá jóga má pozitívny účinok na krvný tlak, účinky tzv. horúcej jógy neboli doposiaľ vedecky dokázané. Horúca jóga zahŕňa intenzívne […]

I first heard about Bollinger’s B1 and B2 electric off-road vehicles back in July . Their simple construction and classic, Land Rover-esq aesthetic sucked me right in. According to electrek, the company plans to unveil prototypes and pricing this month . The Rivian R1T stole the show at Overland Expo earlier this year , but as far as electric overland vehicles go, I am much more excited to see what Bollinger can bring to market. Their ..

It’s been a LONG road to 2.0. Old Socii was busted and didn’t feel good to use. Even I didn’t want to use it so changes had to be made. New Socii is super pleasant to use and I’m happy again. What follows is a deep-dive into the history of the architecture and why I made the changes I made.

The juggle is real: Presenting at conferences as a mother

Conferences are fun - they are a melting pot of inspiration, ideas and innovation. They help you and your company grow, by hearing first hand the stories and journeys of your peers. I love both attending and presenting at conferences - but as a mother of three, with the littlest still very much dependant on me, conferences can pose challenges I never considered pre-children.

Through my journey working as a Software Developer, I have encountered numerous individuals who are considering a career change into the tech industry. In the early stages of deciding if a career change was the right move for me, as everyone does, I looked for inspiration on the internet. This was mostly to learn from others’ experience, and to give me the confidence and validation I needed that it was possible.
