My daughter sometimes works as a waitress at the local Pizza Express. If she has a good night then sometimes she can earn more in tips than her wages (although that is not very often).

Adorable, functional, often internet-connected desktop bots like those below are hand-crafted by Mohit Bhoite in San Francisco, California. It pleasantly surprised me that they’re built as a purely artistic expression. All sculptures (as Mohit rightfully refers to them) are unique and not for sale. Check them all out on his website ( via ) .

At times, basic prints/logs are just about the right debugging strategy. Sure, we have debuggers and REPLs which are super useful, but sometimes you just know that sprinkling your code with a handful of temporary prints/logs will get you enough info to fix an issue. I must confess, my temporary print statements are fairly uninspiring. Sometimes I log the name of the method/function, but I also resort to less creative options like print(....

Javascript errors are bad. I think we can all agree that new Error("...") doesn't give you something super useful to work with. Extending the Error class is surprisingly difficult . After that, actually dealing with the errors turns into a bit of a guessing game on what

The CISO Dilemma How can information security leaders ensure that employee usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help increase organizational productivity is not putting sensitive company data or intellectual property (IP) at risk of leakage or other harm? We addressed this dilemma last week at Cisco Live in Amsterdam with the unveiling of exciting […] The post Controlling ChatGPT Security Risks: Keeping Your Users Productive & ..

In a panel hosted by Snyk, we discussed the ins and outs of building an application security program, and how Snyk has helped simplify the process.

What if you could find the candidate token that when combined with the previous outputs would produce the smallest cosine distance to the input prompt for each step of the generation, with the idea that this would align it more closely with the input prompt and prevent the model from going off task.

Ed is a very basic line-oriented text editor. When other CLI editors like nano, vim, ne, emacs or tilde are not available on a UNIX-like system, it is very likely ed will be so it is a good idea to learn to use this basic program. Below is an example of me doing some simple editing with ed. # Create file touch textfile.txt # Edit file with the prompt '->'. It will output current size of file (0 bytes).

Onionshare Tor is a useful program for secure and anonymous communication with other people. There is a GUI and CLI for this program. Read the documentation for more information. Tor Onionshare uses the tor network. You can set various options regarding this in the program including using a bridge if tor is censored in your country and to auto-connect to the network. Options After connecting, you are presented with four options.

Setting up a minecraft server isn’t hard but it really depends on what you want your minecraft server to be like. This post goes over some things but I will not go into extreme detail on each point because this post will be needlessly long and parts will become outdated very quickly. Requirements The minimum requirement is to have a computer that works. That is pretty much it. It is only as complicated as you make it.

Some services you use may operate a warrant canary. There are pros and cons to using one. It is an implicit way to inform users if the service has been served with a subpoena. The idea of a canary comes from a little while ago. I think it is fitting to use it in the way it is used today. A mechanism to test for unsafe conditions, originating from the use of canaries in coal mines to detect poisonous gases or cave-ins.

Whonix Tor is a high security (and anonymity focused) operating system ran as a virtual machine. In this post, I am going over installing it on a system with debian as the host with KVM. If you are confused about any steps, just refer to the documentation. I am following this page. I’ve already got KVM set up properly on my system so I am skipping that part. Download And Verify I do not have the patience to build from source but that is an ..

Why ~vern has been down so much ~cobra Tue, 16 May 2023 Wow. I am very enraged so I’ll keep this concise. You might notice we stopped hosting GotHub. I’ll get to that. For the past few million years ~vern has been on and off accessibility-wise because Odyssey (yes, that Odyssey) created an account on ~vern (after already being banned for transphobia et al.) and started fork bombing the pubnix, and has been ever since February 2023..

Thinking about the term "Full-Stack Developer" made me realize that it's a highly overloaded term that has most likely lost its meaning (if it had any) in 2023. In this post, we will explore who Full-Stack Developers are and whether they still exist or not.

Happy to say, I made plenty of progress over the past week, after a slight interlude. Unfortunately, that will make this post a bit of a long one. Progress When I left last time, I’d been working on getting memory operations (pointers and dereferencing) working correctly. After that, I managed to work my way through array definitions, initialisations and subscript accessing. There was a bit of a tricky time getting assignments to work cor..

Just a quick note to announce that I’ve made source and build scripts for both versions of No Frills Magento Layout available in a public GitHub repo. I’m not open-sourcing the books or publishing them under a creative commons license, but they’re both available to read for free for the first time. There are a few reasons for this. First, over the next few months I hope to modernize the janky-but-works build process. “LaTeX + bash” might be..

In Pragmastat, Center formalizes the Hodges–Lehmann approach as the recommended robust location estimator. Confidence intervals are available via CenterBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Statistical efficiency is one of the primary ways to compare various estimators.

Originally published on February 1, 2021. The original version included two books I don't think are actually so worthwhile. This list is down to two. I think that's a good thing actually. These are the books I recommend to developers wanting to improve their skills as professional programmers because of high information density, believable premises/examples, and being well edited. You don't need to read books to improve as a developer....
