At work, after a Spring Boot upgrade, we suddenly started getting 411 Length Required error when making HTTP requests.



The Identity Problem - etodd.io - 2 years ago - eng
Disclaimer: views expressed are my own and are not endorsed by my employer. It’s a famous joke that naming things is one of the hardest problems in computer science . I think this alludes to a fundamental truth behind so many of the problems I encounter every day as a software engineer. Let me ruin the joke and reword it a bit. The hardest problem in computer science is deciding whether two things are the same thing, or different. I d..

self hosting risks - lainchan.org - 2 years ago - eng
I want to self host the backend of one of my webshit projects, but I can't have a separate machine for it on a vlan as I only have one pc currently. So how risky is it to host it on my main pc and what can I do to reduce the risks?



The goal of the pg_rman project is to provide a method for online backup and PITR that is as easy as pg_dump. Also, it maintains a backup catalog per database cluster. Users can maintain old backups including archive logs with one command. We’ve always been doing our Postgres backups the rudimentary way via pg_dumpall, which works and is purely logical (one can restore across different Postgres versions), but pg_rman maintains a catalog ..

There are a multitude of considerations when it comes to picking the right security companion for your preferred generative AI tool. Here are the top 5 factors for you to consider when making your selections.

I recently got a copy of RPG Maker MZ and have been making some small games in there in my free time. I bought it with the intention to use it for a larger scale project I had been wanting to do for a while, but every time I bring it up to someone who has had experience making games, it's always either just no reaction or a kind of side-eye situation where they kinda poke fun at it. I know it isn't the most advanced tool, but it clearly h..

Change point detection (CPD) in time series analysis is an essential tool for identifying significant shifts in data patterns. These shifts, or “change points,” can signal critical transitions in various contexts. While most CPD algorithms are adept at discovering historical change points, their sensitivity in detecting recent changes can be limited, often due to a key parameter: the minimum distance between sequential change points. In thi..

In December, I didn't have much time to work on tech things since I spent a large part of it away from home. Still, here are some interesting things that happened.

I spent a week looking at MySQL/MariaDB internals along with ~80 other devs. Although MySQL and MariaDB are mostly the same (more on that later), I focused on MariaDB specifically this week. Before last week I had never built MySQL/MariaDB before. The first day of this hack week, I got MariaDB building locally and made a code tweak so that SELECT 23 returned 213, and another tweak so that SELECT 80 + 20 returned 60. The second day I....

If you have installed a fresh copy of Debian or Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi you might notice that sudo does not ask for a password. This is a security risk and should be fixed. Let's see how to fix it.

New #defcontraining alert! Join us in Paris April 22-25 for a slate of 4-day intensive training sessions administered by world-class trainers. The full list of available classes is available now at training.defcon.org . We hope to see you there!

tl;dr For my Master’s capstone project, I demonstrated that not only can LLMs be used to drive robotic task planning for complex tasks given a set of natural language objectives, but also demonstrate some contextual understanding that goes beyond information known about the world state. Just want to see the result? Jump to here. Just the code? Here. Introduction ROS2 + the Robot ROS2 litterbug - Handling Interaction State Tracking V..

Melvin Conway has a law that I’ve heard thrown about throughout my career building applications and backend systems. Verbatim it states: Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations. Or, put simpler - your system/product/service/software reflects the organization of teams interacting with and building it. I’ve seen this play out ov..




I’ve been fascinated about the rise of AI. However, for the most of the part, it feels like magic. I like to get to the bottom fo the things as much as possible. My favorite courses at CS Undergrad were Digital Design, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems and Networking, and I was in the 1% in them (except networking, damn Electronics students). I liked them very much. Though my father taught me Visual Basic and databases when I was aro..


Introduction Chatbots are essential tools because they make communication between people and technology much easier. These clever programs can answer questions, provide helpful information, and even assist with tasks. In various fields like real estate, chatbots play a crucial role by engaging with potential clients, enhancing user experience, and helping businesses capture valuable leads. They’re like smart assistants who work around the c....

Congrats Matt. Wow, Twins! It is obvious you are loving being a Dad and partner! It is so transformative. Best wishes to you, Lindsay, and the boys as you navigate parenthood.

We watched Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron yesterday at the theatre, and I liked it. The official plot goes like this: A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. Unsurprisingly, the animation is stunning, and the complex story is beautifully narrated. Mahito Maki, the protagonist, is a kid grappling wi..



Professor Ethan Mollick’s Signs and Portents analyzes what AI has achieved, what the effects have been so far, and what we might expect in 2024. To ground ourselves, we can start with two quotes that should inform any estimates about the future. The first is Amara’s Law: “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.” Social change is slower than technological change...

Every major city in the USA provides transportation as a public service. 1 Not only streets, but also vehicles , with professionals who drive them, and anyone can ride these vehicles, for a price between free and cheap! And it’s not intended only a service for the poor: transit agencies encourage everyone to ride.

Today we’re announcing Mach nominated Zig versions, a sweet-spot between stable Zig and nightly Zig which offers a different balance of latest-and-greatest features and fixes, and less of a moving target. If you are in the Zig community, you likely fall into one of two categories: You target Zig nightly, a target which moves every day You target Zig stable, which may be released once or twice per year. The challenge of using Zig stable....
