Some time ago I discovered an interesting use of the ternary-filter in Ansible. A ternary-filter in Ansible is a filter that takes three arguments: a condition, a value if the condition is true and an alternative value if the condition is false. Here’s a simple example straight from Ansible’s documentation: - name: service-foo, use systemd module unless upstart is present, then use old service module service: state: restarted enab....

DEF CON is primarily a cash-at-the-door kind of conference. LineCon is in our DNA, and we will always honor it. Long may the beach balls fly. Still, the option to register online has been a benefit to many attendees. We’re keeping that method open for all those who need it. If that’s you, good news! From right now until July 5, 2024, you can register for DC32 at shop.defcon.org .


I stumbled upon a hackernews thread where people have recommended many interesting tools to help with generating color palettes for various use cases. I’m creating this list for my future self, and will add other options whenever I come across one. uicolors.app : I’ve used this one when working on redesigning the user interface for my latest side project. The nice feature of uicolors.app is its Tailwind export functionality which allows..

2023 was a good year for purchases (materialism ho!), I picked up a Steam Deck, built a new PC from scratch, and at one point I could nab a bag of sour cream pretzels for 50p. But none of them were as valuable as this: To be fair, the pretzels were a close second. This is a Kobo Libra 2, and it’s been serving me well for the last year. I don’t know how it compares to other e-readers, but for what I want – reading my offline ....

Organizations experience different pain points when implementing a DevSecOps culture, but the fundamentals of people, process, and tooling changes remain the same.

In my post on the Method of Differences , I focused on using the technique to generate mathematical tables. As some readers noted, there are additional and interesting modern applications of the technique. This post will discuss two of them: sequences to functions , a method of analyzing sequences, and strength reduction , a compiler optimization technique. Sequences to Functions Rather than having a function that you want to evaluate....

Three Topics - backendhance.com - 2 years ago - eng
Hi, Dieses Jahr bin ich etwas im Verzug mit den Newslettern. Zum einen bin ich tief in Kundenprojekten – und der Kunde hat immer Vorrang. Zum anderen habe ich seit Anfang des Jahres mit einer Lungenentzündung zu kämpfen. Erst diese Woche ist sie besser geworden. Die Symptome waren zwar mild - schließlich habe ich gearbeitet - aber ich habe gemerkt, wie mir die Energie außerhalb der Pflichtaufgaben fehlte. Um jetzt wieder reinzukommen: ..

There is a huge gap in generative AI between the quality you observe when you’re playing with it open endedly, and the quality you observe when you try to use it for a task where you have a specific end goal in mind. This is I think where most of the hype/reality mismatch occurs. This accurately sums up my experience using generating AI in a daily base and building products with this technology.

If you need another reason to hate office politics, Dave Anderson shares some awful advice on how to join office politics, one of them is: Slow down other teams If other teams move quickly, your team can become a bottleneck. That never looks good. When a wild animal is chasing you, you need to not be the slowest. Slow down your peer teams by asking for info, or starting processes. As a bonus, you look as if you’re holding a high bar.

Now, _variables.scss will automatically import _variables-dark.scss. If you were already importing _variables-dark.scss manually, yo....


Many skeptics about the impact of AI are focused on the flaws that LLMs have today: hallucinations, short context windows, slow answers, and so on. These are legitimate concerns, and, if AI advancement were to stop, they might prove to be huge issues in the utility of AI. But AI is advancing rapidly, and some of these concerns may soon vanish, even if others (like hallucinations) are not completely solved.

The Critic - paul.kinlan.me - 2 years ago - eng
I created "The Critic", a tool to help review text from different perspectives, like accessibility or API design. It uses LLMs to simulate multiple "agents" who provide feedback, streamlining the review process. It's built with Breadboard and aims to enhance, not replace, human review. While the UI is basic, it effectively identifies potential improvement areas, sparks discussions, and integrates with LLMs for convenience.

I built tldr-site.vercel.app to help me quickly understand web development trends. It summarizes search results and news snippets, giving me a high-level overview before I dive into specific details. I use it frequently, for example, to research community feedback like on the Web Environment Integrity API. The code is on GitHub and uses Breadboard to manage data flow. It works well, but could be improved by adding article content for riche..

Today, I learned the hard way that the default port for ASP.NET Core 8 container images has been updated from port 80 to 8080, quite a remarkable breaking change. We upgraded our web application from .NET 7 and let the CI pipeline do its work. Finally, we checked the application in the browser to ensure everything was okay, but unfortunately, we got a 502 Bad Gateway error. The Nginx logs revealed that the app was rejecting connections, w..

I've created the Claude Breadboard Kit, a simple plugin to easily connect your Breadboards with the Claude API. It features a single generateCompletion node for streamlined integration. Add it to your breadboard runtime using addRuntimeKit(Claude) and start using the generateCompletion node.

I created tldr.rocks, a simple site that summarizes Hacker News posts and comment sentiment. As a DevRel, it's crucial to understand developer sentiment towards our work. This tool helps me quickly identify key comments and critical challenges, although it doesn't replace direct engagement with the community. It's built with Hugo, uses Breadboard to manage the Generative AI, and leverages Anthropic's Claude via my "Claude Kit" Breadboard ..

In many applications it’s a requirement to keep track of when a record was created and updated the last time. Often, this is implemented by having columns such as created_at and updated_at within each table. To make things as simple as possible for application developers, the database itself should take care of maintaining these values automatically when a record gets inserted or updated.
