The “MoneroV” coin is an impending unofficial fork of the Monero blockchain with many “red flag” characteristics that have alarmed the Monero community. Many users are wondering: could the MoneroV fork be a scam project? This article discusses risks for individuals claiming MoneroV, and describes how MoneroV opens an attack vector on the overall privacy of the Monero network itself. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

According to NASSCOM, the Indian IT industry is currently valued at a whopping $160 billion. This should mean that a lot of people, men and women alike, constitute the four million people on the rolls of IT companies. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

This is new behavior that went in without fanfare. If you created a new hello world app you might have noticed this. We changed the default boilerplate for Codename One and made it more representative of what you’d want to see in a hello world app. The entire change to the default generated app is within the init method: public void init(Object context) { // use two network threads instead of one updateNetworkThreadCount(2); __**(1)** th....

Ubissoft have introduced a tool that “uses AI” to identify potential coding issues when the developer commits code. They claim it can detect a significant number of errors and even suggest solutions in some cases. There will always be some errors that it will not be able to identify, for example where the implementation doesn’t match the requirements, however this approach could have a significant impact on the amount of time spent debuggin..

Problem: Compute distance between points with uncertain locations (given by samples, or differing observations, or clusters). For example, if I have the following three “points” in the plane, as indicated by their colors, which is closer, blue to green, or blue to red? It’s not obvious, and there are multiple factors at work: the red points have fewer samples, but we can be more certain about the position; the blue points are less certain, ..

If you've only vaguely heard of Lisp before or studied Scheme in school, Common Lisp is nothing like what you'd expect. While functional programming is all the rage in Scheme, Common Lisp was "expressly designed to be a real-world engineering language rather than a theoretically 'pure' language" ( Practical Common Lisp ). Furthermore, SBCL -- a popular implementation -- is a highly optimized compiler that is competitive with Java . Buil....

In the early days of stacker at Remind, the number of stacks that we were managing was just a handful. CloudFormation stacks were updated sequentially, without any parallelism, and everyone was happy. Today, stacker manages 153 CloudFormation stacks that build out all of the AWS infrastructure that makes remind.com work. As you can imagine, attempting to update 153 stacks without any parallelism takes a long time, about 10 minutes to ....

I covered the include source feature extensively. For the most part it’s the simplest way to debug an application directly on the device. When I made that video the current version of Android Studio and Gradle were much older. We still use API version 23 on the build servers to keep everything compatible but you might want to use a newer version of the IDE. In that case you can use the newer version 3.0+ of Android Studio but you will n..

This is a story about how I got nerd sniped by a blog post from Cloudflare Engineering . The TLDR on their post is that you can script in Go if you use BINFMT_MISC in the kernel. BINFMT_MISC is really well documented and awesome. In the end, all they had to do to script in Go was to mount the filesystem: $ mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc Then, register the Go script binary format: $ echo ':golang:E::go::/u....

Introduction These are some very hasty notes on Runge-Kutta methods and IRK2 in particular. I make no apologies for missing lots of details. I may try and put these in a more digestible form but not today.

Today we take for granted the concept of software as a tool but it didn't always exist. Mini-scripts, the interoperable programs, the small utilities for specific tasks, etc. This is what we're going to discuss, where do they come from, the history, and a bit more.

Apache - retrieve file from S3 if it does not exist on disk (Misc)

On hosted systems with limited disk space, you might occasionally want to archive files out to Amazon S3 (or some other filer). This would usually result in URLs changing, though, so the ideal situation would be to have Apache simply proxy the request through to your filer if it cannot find the file on disk This snippet checks for the file within the document root and if it does not exist, sends a request our to an S3 bucket Read more…

A repeated task I run into when I start working on a new paper is the laying out the initial structure of the repository to store the paper text. I recently pushed a simple skeleton that I use a starting point to GitHub. There’s nothing really fancy here, but it’s a good starting point. I use latexmk to build all my documents since it takes care of running BibTeX among other things. One of the nice other things is that it will automatic..

A simple blog post here to introduce a new command line tool licensechecker (lc), which is similar in purpose to the library Licensee http://ben.balter.com/licensee/ which attempts to identify what software license(s) code is released under. lc itself is dual licensed under the MIT and Unlicense. Licensechecker (lc) was designed to be run either on your command line or using your CI tool of choice and produce either CSV, JSON, SPDX, Sum..

So I just went to my first meetup of the Denver/Boulder Rust meetup group. The group has been around a while but went inactive for over a year. I was and am really excited to get it going again. The meetup went really well! We had about 20 attendees and folks seemed pretty engaged and interested. One of our planned speakers canceled at the last minute due to a family emergency, but Joel Dice and I just did what software developers normally ....

Context I have one Gitlab account for personal and one for company use. To make sure my commits line up correctly with the email used in the SSH keys, I decided to have separate SSH keys for each account. The way it works is you need to create two sets (public and private) of keys. And then modify the SSH config and git config to get them to work. Generating SSH Keys ¶ I’m doing this on a Lubuntu machine. These may also work on an OSX ..
