This article is about a rarely discussed component that resides in the background of our lives. No word clearly describes this phenomenon as it's a fusion of different ideas. We blueprint ourselves according to media that display extravagant versions of winners and losers. The profiles on social media are facade created around individuals — Profile being a well-chosen word as it misses the other angles. All across those there's an implici..

Automation is coming. It is affecting nearly all industries. And it would be stupid to ignore it. But aren’t we taking the frenzy a tad too far? (Disclaimer: This article is a bit messy – I have tried my best to give it a decent shape – but if we are to be honnest, it needs some serious re-writing – which I will probably do – but I wanted to get this out now anyway – so take it as a work in progress with maybe a few unfinished thoughts / se..
How informative is media really. The incentives on any media organization are like the incentives on any other company - to make profits. Media also aims to make people informed on important facts. That’s how people perceive the value of media. That, and entertainment. All media wants people to consume it, in order to get revenue from subscriptions, or from advertisement. Let’s temporary make a distinction between media as a business, a....

Quick note for those who don’t know about Docker: Docker is a program that lets me take packaged-up programs (called images or containers ) and run them without having to worry much about dependencies. Today I decided to upgrade my version of Ghost Blog . I’m using the Docker image on a Digital Ocean droplet. Updating should be simple, I thought. I would take down the blog then spin it back up again after pulling down the latest ....

Earlier this year we ran a test on the top 5,000 URL’s on the web and found that 76.6% of them were running a JavaScript library with at least one known security vulnerability. It’s a frighteningly large number. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Snyk now powers the vulnerable JavaScript libraries linter in Microsoft’s Sonar—an open-source linting tool for developers.
In vim, you can add a comment at the top of files to set the syntax, e.g.: # vim: syntax=ruby In SublimeText there are many ways to detect syntax, one interesting approach I’ve recently found useful is to match on the top line in the file. For example, with Puppet there is a file called Puppetfile, it has no extension but it’s really Ruby syntax, so it’s useful to add linting incase you miss something simple like a , and break d..

Some of our how do I videos are so old it’s embarrassing…​ This is especially true for some core concepts videos as they were some of the first ones we made. The worst part is that these are probably the most important videos we have as they are viewed by developers completely new to Codename One. We had two videos covering creations of lists and both of them used com.codename1.ui.List with the old GUI builder!
In my last last post, I argued that property-based testing and fuzzing are essentially the same practice, or at least share a lot of commonality.

I got very lucky - my final year project supervisor started a company and asked me to join him. Fifteen years later we were acquired by Arm! Taking the advice of people who got lucky is like taking the advice of lottery winners. “Everyone said I was crazy but I kept on believing!” In terms of the blog: the best writing advice I ever got was to spend ten minutes every day writing non-stop. It doesn’t matter if you write “I don’t know what t..
