A lot of people seem to want to be able to build container images in Kubernetes without mounting in the docker socket or doing anything to compromise the security of their cluster. This all was brought to my attention when my awesome coworker at Gabe Monroy and I were chatting with Michelle Noorali over pizza at Kubecon in Austin last December. Here is pretty much how it went down: Gabe: I’d would love to switch our clusters to a l....

oath-postmaster : By Marcel Becker The mail team at OATH is busy integrating Yahoo and AOL technology to deliver an even better experience across all our consumer mail products. While privacy and security are top priority for us, we also want to improve the experience and remove unnecessary clutter across all of our products. Starting this week we will be serving images in mails via our own secure proxy servers. This will not only....

I was due to be paid for some work earlier this month and the payment was from a foreign bank account into my account in GBP. The payment was made two weeks ago but never turned up in my account. After numerous phone calls with my bank and a lot of help from the CFO of the company I am working for (thanks Mario) we eventually managed to locate the payment.

It was almost 3 years ago that my open source storage project went into production. In that time it’s been running 24/7 serving as highly available solid state storage for hundreds of VMs and several virtualisation clusters across our two main sites. I’m happy to report that the clusters have been operating very successfully since their conception. Since moving away from proprietary ‘black box’ vendor SANs, we haven’t had a single SAN i..

Kubernetes is fast becoming the operating system for the Cloud, and brings a ubiquity which has the potential for massive benefits for technology organisations and developers. Kubernetes has seen a dramatic increase in visibility and adoption throughout 2017, with all major cloud providers now offering their own native Kubernetes service, and several container orchestration platforms rebuilding with Kubernetes as an underpinning.

One of the most discussed topics in the technology field is about having degrees and how important they are. Do you really need one to be a good engineer? When is it really important for you? Writing a post like this is a big responsibility. I’m not here to say if you should attend to … Continue reading Degree or not degree? When is it really important?

If you like writing programs in C, are interested in game development and don’t enjoy all those complicated and ancient build systems I think I’ve got something of interest to you. I belive there is something enjoyable in the simple setup I’m describing below. Hope you will enjoy as well. Raylib < Raylib is a C library made by @Ray San . On the Raylib’s website it says ‘ raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to learn video game....

I’ve had this book a while but never got around to reading it properly. One of my colleagues at work was listening to the audio version of it and recommended it. This was an excellent read and very relevant to what is happening at the company I am working at at the moment. For me the key takeaway was that what most people call strategy is not actually strategy but vision or goals. Strategy is setting a direction and what needs to happen to ..

A year ago I wrote about how big data, collected from social media sites, and machine learning was used to influence voting in the United States in "The man least likely to succeed in politics". Collecting data, and more specifically social data about each of us, has been described as the "new goldrush". Yet many of us are unaware of how technology is enabling the use (and misuse) of our personal data. As a technologist I find this area fas..

UPDATE: I’m leaving this series up for historical purposes, but please note that I no longer recommend Ubuntu Core or snaps for use in robotics. This is the fifth (and final) blog post in this series about creating your first robot with ROS and Ubuntu Core. In the previous post we discussed methods of control, did a little math, and wrote the ROS driver for our robot. But it still required several nodes to be running at once, and sharing it..

I am super excited to announce the launch of Eve: Building RESTful APIs with MongoDB and Flask , a brand new TalkPython Training course. Authoring this course has been a new experience for me, and I must say that I very much enjoyed every minute of it. Finding myself in the exciting position being at the same time both the project author and the instructor, I did my best to focus on the typical issues I know from experience most people f..

Many languages distinguish between primitives on the stack and objects on the heap. Others only have objects, and thus require primitives to aways be boxed. It turns out you can get the best of both worlds.

Nobody actually wants to use a web browser. It becomes evident the second you open your browser and notice that you don’t have internet connection. What we like about browsers is what they offer on the other side. What they connect us to. In that sense, browsers are transitory spaces - similar to airports, planes and train stations. Most of us have lost our childish curiosity towards these spaces - we go there because we want to arrive some..

Financial institutions across the country are sitting in the middle of a perfect storm: A Google and Boston Consulting Group report stated that digital payments in India would reach $500 billion by 2020. The digital payments industry in Asia’s third-largest economy will grow by ten times to touch $500 billion by 2020 and contribute 15% of gross domestic product (GDP).

Hi, lainons. Emacs Lisp thread. I recently started a journey into the obscure world of Emacs. I tried to switch from Vim to Emacs twice in the last years, but I gave up twice. I tried again a month ago and I'm still using Emacs daily. The reason is Emacs Lisp. Last year (motivated by lainchan) I started learning Common Lisp and liked it a lot. Then I found I can do whatever I want to do in Emacs Lisp. I've already written lots of f..

At Cerner, we manage our own infrastructure and a big part of that is managing F5 load balancers. If you are a Ruby developer or a network engineer and regularly work with F5s, then I have good news! I’ve created a gem that abstracts iControl’s REST API. It makes working with the API easy to understand and eases the effort required to automate changes across many devices. 1 2 api = IcontrolRest::Client.

I took the picture at the top of this post sitting in Starbucks recently with my trusty, 12-year-old PowerBook G4 laptop from Apple. Those sitting around me have no idea how ancient my laptop is - they probably see the glow from the Apple logo on the back and realize that it’s just another Apple laptop. But it’s more than just another laptop to me. It’s written over a dozen textbooks for various publishers, created countless curriculum ..
