Whilst casually browsing Hacker News, I stumbled upon a fairly new post which had hit the front page suggesting that a Gitea (a self-hosted GitHub alternative) may have had some of its release binaries compromised . The post linked to an issue on the Gitea’s GitHub page , where at the time it was unclear what & how this had happened, just that the releases had been altered and were distributing something malicious. A few hours later, so..

On 11th of November 2017 trivago hosted a Hackathon at NASDAQ's MarketSite in New York. The winners were awarded with a trip through Europe to visit trivago's offices as well as conference tickets for [The Next Web, Amsterdam](https://thenextweb.com/event/tnw-conference/). We invited the winners to our office, where we got to the chance to interview them about their Hackathon experience.

It has been one month since I started working fully remote, and I think I learned some things I can share.

In the quest to pay debt off as quick as possible, people try to find unique ways (“hacks” if you will) to reduce the timeframe and interest charged. The most popular - and successful - method is the snowball method or one of its variants. Another trick is to split the payments into two or more payments a month.

I figured it would be nice to have one canonical place for talks I have given. So here it is… 2019 CERN - Why Open Source Firmware is Important This talk will dive into some of the problems of running servers at scale, including data from surveys about physical infrastructure and firmware concerns. In this talk, we’ll understand how open source firmware will solve some of these common problems. Why is open source firmware important for ....

I was recently involved in a discussion around why would a regular Oracle foreground session wait for the log file sequential read wait event. I then realized that I had never published my Hotsos Symposium 2014 talk about a relatively complex (treacherous?) Oracle performance issue involving multiple problems that “collide”. So I decided to run this presentation as a webinar next week + will demo some of my newer related scripts too!

I’ve finally had a chance to read a book I bought a while ago called “97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know – Collective Wisdom from the Experts“. Not the shortest title for a book, but very descriptive. I bought this book at the OSCON Conference in Portland last year. It’s an interesting book and […]

Over 50% of cyber attacks are executed through malware, whose job is to find a flaw to inject other types of viruses including malware, adware and much more. Knowing the computer remotely, it can spy on the screen and even crypt the files: a wrong click and you lose anything. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

Looking for ways to visualize machine learning processes. Neural nets are trained to recognized cancerous Ki-67 marked cells in biopsies. Instead of just counting the cells, a neural style process is run to produce infinite zombies in their place.

I was doing some research for an upcoming exhibition and looked into the question of tone in scientific communication, specifically the stylistic influence of visual representations of knowledge. Obviously the style changed over time, became more abstract, less naturalistic, less.. certain. As if the scientists became troubled by the idea of adding some character to the visual language - which is futile anyway: no matter what you do you e....

We now have a government in Italy. Everyone around me is talking about this, so I figured out I might as well try to analyse what are the biggest problems the country is facing. Here is a list of existential problems we face: Labor Market laws make it almost impossible or extremely costly to hire/fire anyone. Organised Crime, Tax evasion, Corruption and waste of public money plague the country. The juidicial system is extrem..

We go through uses of the Python reduce function, when it's useful and its performance benefits. This time, we spend some time exploring function composition, and how to manage large function chains, e.g. in a data processing pipeline.

Introduction This article was adapted from discussions we had at the weekly Clojure study group at OpinionLab, in June, 2018. Clojure is a Lisp. Code is data in Lisp, and data can also be code. Lisp code consists of lists of symbols (or atoms, as they are called in other Lisps), other data primitives such as numbers and keywords, or (nested) lists of the same. 1 The first item in an expression (list) is the name of an opera....

Ok, let’s chill for a sec. If you don’t know about Jo Luijten, he is a Dutch video artist & video game developer based in LA, and beside his impressive portfolio, he also feed a youtube channel name Squirrel Monkeywith some funny retro videos. I stumbled upon his creations the other day and had to share some here. Check his channel if you want more vids (got on Siri, Tinder, Insta, Bitcoin and more).

I’m generally not against spending money. I am however generally against buying things . This is a point I’ve surely beaten well beyond death by now, so I won’t belabor it much further. It’s just to say that I want to be really sure something makes sense within the larger context of my life before I buy it and have to deal with it forever. I only mention this because I’ve been on a bit of a purchasing spree (by my standards) as of late..
