By now, on the net, on TV and around the world, there is nothing but talk about WannaCrypt: ransomware, or malware that can encrypt all the files on one’s computer and demand a ransom for unlocking them. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

They did not know it was impossible so they did it — Mark Twain Rules, somehow, always, seems to be a barrier to innovation. Status-quo is cultural protectionism The status-quo creates artificial scarcity. Because it promotes the lack of initiative It supports business as usual. The status-quo is opposed to disruption, to change, to innovation. It is opposed to improvement. It is the systemic manifestation of the resistance.

Layouts are one of the hardest subjects to grasp in Codename One, there is a lot of nuance in getting layouts “right”. Since the subject is so vast and complex this video only scratches the surface and is still relatively long for an introductory video. It’s crucial to go thru this material though if you are not familiar with layouts or find them confusing. Ideally, I’ll follow up with a more “pragmatic” video of layouts that will build o..

I have long been inconsistent when creating Java Exception classes, in terms of how I name them. Having looked through the Exeptions that are supplied with Java, I see there is no real standard naming convention. I have found more exceptions with the form

Or why “do as you are told” is a bad idea. In 1964, Stanley Milgram back then a young researcher at Yale University, published the resultsa famous experiment known to this day as the Milgram Experiment. The set up is simple: The subject of the experiment takes part himself in a (staged) experiment supposed to study the impact of pain on memory and learning. For this, he is asked by the experimenter to administer increasingly strong electric..

Recently I sent a build and had an issue installing it. It was late at night and I just forgot to add the build hint ios.debug.archs=armv7 for installation on the 3rd gen iPad I was testing with. So we can all trip over basic mistakes when it comes to iOS installs. So for your convenience I made a list of common pitfalls you might run into if your iOS build won’t install on your device.

Today, almost a year since the initial TrailDB open-source release , we are happy to announce the next major version of TrailDB, 0.6. The release is long overdue: this release is packed with major new features (and some minor bug fixes) that have been driven both by increasing internal use of TrailDB at AdRoll, as well as requests and contributions by the community. You can download and install the latest version by following the gettin....

This feature is still undergoing development but I wanted to share the progress here so we can start getting bug reports and suggestions. One of the frequent requests for the side menu UI is to provide a way for it to render on top of the UI instead of shift the UI. The old side menu was written when the facebook app was the chief application that used that UI paradigm so it was built to match that approach.

The below is an example of a simple reverse shell to a C&C server (which we assume is myserver.com ) On the C&C server you simply need something listening on the relevant port: nc -l 4444 Back when Shellshock was at it's highest levels, you could simply inject this into a HTTP header to have the server connect back to you Read more…

And I just stumbled upon wonderful talk by Adam Conover, and I think he made the point pretty brilliantly so please what the talk..

I grew up (and currently live) in the city of Cambridge in Ontario, Canada. The city was formed when 3 smaller towns (Hespeler, Preston and Galt) amalgamated in 1973, but the towns have a rich history as some of the key centers for industry in Upper Canada during the 1800s and early 1900s. When I was Googling something related to the new light rail transit system currently being installed in the region, I came across a Wikipedia page whe..

Painting in Progress - from imagination As I return to the painting on my easel, reworking both the major figures and probably everything else as well, I am put to mind of a lesson by a former teacher, Carol Pylant . She told me to be paint over the edges of my foreground figures when working on backgrounds, so the backgrounds don’t get too “stiff.” Of course, this applies not just to edges. “If you painted it once, you can paint it ....

I have created a very simple HTML email alert Template for Icinga 2 to replace the default boring text-based email alert. This template can be easily installed by replacing existing alert scripts inside /etc/icinga2/scripts. Update: I have replaced mail command with mutt due to an incompatibility of options among different Linux distributions. Also, I have added new color highlight feature for different states (ok=green,warning=orange a..

I’m a bit conflicted about this tip. The AutoCompleteTextField is a problematic class that is in dire need of a rewrite. When we created it we still didn’t accept that lists “need to go” . It also predated features like the InteractionDialog which would have made this component much easier to use. Check out a live preview of the demo on the right here thanks to our JavaScript port! However, we have other priorities and rewriting Auto..

Lots of software projects struggle when they try to implement search-related features. I was reminded of this by @trek's reaction to this Algolia marketing tweet: Development teams often delay building search due to lack of confidence in getting it right & fear that it will take longer

Visual Studio 2017 just received an update ( version 15.2 ). Among other nice things, this update brings full support for Python back into the official release of VS2017. As you might recall (see my old whiny post ), previously Python was only available with Visual Studio 2017 Preview (a separate install). I just upgraded my copy of Visual Studio, added the Python Development Workload to it via the VS Installer, and finally (and very hap..
