This is the first year that I’ve been to the World of Commodore event in Mississauga, Ontario. It’s a yearly gathering of Commodorks who create new software and hardware for vintage Commodore computers. I had no idea that it even existed until someone I knew told me about it. Since it’s relatively close to me, I just had to go. Plus, I have many Commodore computers in my vintage computer collection.

Since Docker 1.9, the multi-host networks can be used very easily. All you have to do is just setup your Swarm cluster and use docker network create -d mynet and voila: Your multi host network is ready. I want to do a benchmark of this new feature, however, the official multi host networking examples are in Virtualbox and local performance can be misleading. I created an image called mustafaakin/alpine-iperf just has the Alpine image plus i..

Desiccant . I really enjoy the way that word sounds. It’s like a discount version of decadent , except that it hasn’t been soiled by rampant overuse in chocolate commercials. I was curious as to its etymology which, as you’ll see above, isn’t nearly as exciting as I’d hoped. I had never even heard of the word until a reader, known only to me as “BoscoBob”, brought it up in an email.

I’m excited to announce Snyk is now live! Snyk helps you find and fix known vulnerabilities in your Node.js dependencies. These are publicly documented security holes, making them easy for attackers to track and exploit.

Do you own a website? If so, as of today Let's Encrypt , a new non-profit certificate authority (CA), entered Public Beta and allows you to add HTTPS to your website for free and more easily than ever before. If you've ever experienced the hassle of setting up a secure website, you'll be pleased to know that Let's Encrypt automates the entire process and only requires you to manage HTTPS with a few simple commands . This could be a hu....

Svoboda á la EU: - raději nevycházejte z domu - raději zrušíme koncerty - raději zrušíme fotbalové zápasy - raději zastavíme metro - raději zastavíme tramvaje - raději nepovolíme rozsvěcování vánočního stromku - raději se vyhýbejte nákupním střediskům - raději se vyhýbejte letištím i vlakovým nádražím Ale jinak je všechno krásné, multikulturalismus funguje, a kdo o tom pochybuje, je xenofob, rasista a fašista, který šíří strach a nenávist.

It’s been a while (six months almost to the day) since I did my last big Home Improvement post , and I think it’s about high time we changed that. Not only because a lack of Home Improvement posts signals stagnancy on the front of truck-progress, but also because there is much to be improved upon truck-wise, and I should be more proactive and motivated to work on it. This, as is likely evident from the title, is just a “Mini” Home Improv..

The advances and growth of our Selenium based automated testing infrastructure generated an unexpected number of test results to evaluate. We had to rethink our reporting systems. Combining the power of Selenium with Kibana's graphing and filtering features totally changed our way of working.

Setting the Scene My team and I were excited by the prospect of adding fingerprint login to the iOS version of our banking App. It was something our users had been asking for. As a team, we wanted to try out the new technology and create a more user friendly and quick way for customers to login and access their bank information.

I am the Managing Director of Thoughtworks Singapore. It has been 10 years since I came on board. It was very hard to imagine that a non-English speaking Chinese with no programming skills would join a global IT company back in 2005. And not just join, but thrive.

One of my favorite Pixar movies is Ratatouille, maybe because I’m such a glutton. So when I was thinking about the next tutorial/demo and the idea of a restaurant app came up I knew it had to be based on Ratatouille. This is a relatively simple demo that can literally fit in a single blog post all the way thru and the real cool thing about it is that you can try the JavaScript version right now from your browser without compiling ..

First some background–I’ve always had a bit of a love hate relationship with ORMs. ORMs are great for basic crud applications, which inevitably happens at some point for an app. The main two problems I have with ORMs is: They treat all databases as equal (yes, this is a little overgeneralized but typically true). They claim to do this for database portability, but in reality an app still can’t just up and move from one to another. They do....

If you haven’t read the previous parts of this series yet, here are the links: [ Part 1 | Part 2 ]. A Refresher In the first part of this series I said that RAM access is the slow component of a modern in-memory database engine and for performance you’d want to reduce RAM access as much as possible. Reduced memory traffic thanks to the new columnar data formats is the most important enabler for the awesome In-Memory processing perf....

Trainspotting Definitely not the word I’m looking for, but it sounds cool I noted early on that I wasn’t the only sketchy-looking vehicle on campus. And the longer I’ve been doing this, the keener my eye has gotten to the subtle, but telltale signs of “unconventional” or otherwise “alternative” living situations: windows tinted a little too deeply, parking just slightly farther away from a building than everyone else, a f..

Retailers are whipping their supply chains to win the ecommerce game. What is the next frontier in the fast moving delivery space? In Delivery 2.0, our European Head of Retail Mark Collin noted that fast delivery has become a source of competitive advantage. That advantage is shrinking, however, as more retailers begin to offer speedy delivery options.

Day after Codemotion 2015, this is my overall opinion of the event: meh. Don’t get me wrong, technical sessions have been quite interesting, full of really nice people and organization must have worked really to get the event running. But, in my opinion, this event is dying of success. Way too many assistants, making really hard to walk from one session to another (even having 15 min between them), or having to arrive 30 min before start if....
