Autistic children can experience difficulties in relating to others and understanding emotions. Now, help is at hand, thanks to a mask-wearing, kid-friendly robot. This is the work of London-based Thoughtworker, Lina Alagrami — who explored this topic at XConf EU.

Crisp powers the chat button in the bottom right portion of our site. It also handles emails and a host of other great features. One feature we didn’t take advantage of is the mobile app support. To solve that we just issued a new Crisp cn1lib which we integrated into the new versions of our Android and iOS apps. You can install it yourself using the extension manager and use it with the instructions here .

This year we went on holiday to Italy for a week, staying near Naples. There are many wonderful sights in the area, such as Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast. Off the beaten track, the food is cheap and pizza is unlike anywhere else we’ve experienced – which makes sense given it’s the region that invented the stuff! We arrived on Wednesday 3rd October, and following is a brief day-by-day account.

When I broke out on my own, I wanted to do everything right. One of the most common pieces of advice is to start a newsletter. I believe that even if your newsletter amounts to nothing (which it won’t), you’ll still get a great deal of value out of it.

I’ve lived in NYC for the past year — moved here after years in Philly and after growing up in a rural community a few hours west of there. My wife is South Korean and last week concluded my second trip to the suburbs of Seoul to visit her family. We finished up that trip with a week in Tokyo. Long a mecha and Godzilla fan, I was struck by a city not significantly more modern, or significantly more “Eastern”, than NYC. In contrast, the le....

In the last month a group of hackers called Magecart came back striking in full force. They first appeared in the news back in 2015 when RiskIQ found out they injected code in Magento’s “Magecart” shopping software. Thus the name. The attacks they organized have caused massive damages to hundreds, likely even thousands of companies like British Airways, Ticketmaster and even Newegg. This group is specialized in card skimming payment..

Kubernetes Integration Testing: MiniKube + Azure Pipelines = Happy

Update: With the release of KIND (Kubernetes in Docker) I’ve now moved to using this over minikube as it’s quicker and simpler. I recently did some work on a fairly simple controller to run inside Kubernetes. It connects to the K8s API and watches for changes to ingress objects in the cluster. I had a nice cluster spun up for testing which I could tweak and poke then observe the results. This was nice BUT I wanted to translate it into s....

These past few years, I’ve provided various types of support for some tech incubators in the Kitchener-Waterloo region where I live (it’s a complex arrangement that I won’t go into within this post, but mostly involves helping people with technology implementation issues related to software). It’s not hard to find tech incubators nowadays - they’ve become quite popular this past decade, and larger cities often have several incubators of va..

We’ve come along way with graphs so far. We know how to structure them, how to explore them, and how to travel them in a way that minimizes cost (however you choose to define the cost between each vertex). A special kind of cost-saving traversal deals with the shortest path between two points.

Newly Redesigned Chromium-Based Brave Browser Has 22% Faster Load Time than Brave Muon Version, on Average

I came across an interesting interview question, along the lines of ”How would you make this work?” add(2, 5); // multiple arguments style > 7 add(2)(5); // currying, a chained invocation style > 7 add(1,2)(3,4) // both > 10 I thought this was a very interesting question, so took some time to implement a multi-argument / curried function. Heres what I got: A solution to the multiple argument style is straightforward, theres jus....

imenu navigation is one of those Emacs gems I didn't discover until much later on. It does what you'd expect in all types of modes. In rare instances, I've found specific modes missing imenu support. Fortunately, this is Emacs and you can fix that. Eshell has a handy feature to jump back and forth over previous prompts using M-x eshell-previous-prompt (C-c C-p) and M-x eshell-next-prompt (C-c C-n) . Upon learning about these two fun..
