On Wednesday as I was going to bed I noticed it was quite hot in my house. I checked my central air blower unit and there was frost on the coils and the blower wasn’t moving. It kept trying to start but not being able to start. The 7 segment led was showing “b5” which … Continue reading Fixing the blower motor in my central air system

Are you familiar with linear programming, and how it can be used to solve resource optimization problems? Would you like to free your Python code from a clunky command line and start making convenient graphical interfaces for your users? This week on the show, David Amos is back with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

A smart person knows everything about a single topic. An intelligent person knows as much as possible about more than one topic. Both have great value, and depending on the industry, some organizations value one more than the other . In general, though, smart people fill entry-level jobs, who then become intelligent people to move up the ladder 1 . A robust personal development strategy will help you go from the former to the latter. ..

Most of the applications I see these days heavily depend on APIs. Pentesting them is a bit different than that of web applications. In this writeup I will show you how I discovered the vulnerabilities in the “ Vulnerable API ” project.

A Monte Carlo simulation is a method of estimating events or quantities which are difficult or computationally infeasible to derive a closed-form solution to. The value of the mathematical constant Pi is a good example of this: although it is possible to calculate the exact value of Pi, a good estimate is easily demonstrated with just a few lines of code.

Creatures of Thought is a project I discovered just recently. It is about the history of science and technology, and it revolves around two primary tracks: The Switch and The Backbone. The former covers the digital switch; the latter is the story of how the world got online. Both sections are well written, researched, and curated. The latest installment of The Backbone covers Usenet’s invention, then FidoNet, and well, it sent me on a mesm..

Recently, I have realized that all the mistakes I’ve made in the past, and is still making, have been caused by a single type of error: mistaking expedience for desire, for a call to action. When I am looking to make a purchase, say a toaster, I look for a “good deal”. The toaster can’t have a significant number of bad reviews. The price can’t be too low, such that the toaster is bound to break down in a month; but it also can’t be too ex..

At Remind, we help educators communicate with millions of students and families. These connections are critical for supporting student learning, especially with school closures this year, and it’s equally important for all of the communications on our platform to be secure, protected, and reliably delivered. As part of our security stance, we engage the security researcher community via a bug bounty program—which is how a recent collaborati....

If you’ve ever tried to get better at playing a particular song you want to learn, you might want to first learn it in chunks. After you feel good with those chunks you start putting it all together. Then you realize, you still suck at some of those chunks, so you practice them. It would be nice to have a tool that works well for that process. I didn’t feel like coding today but I needed to export this idea out of my mind so here is a qui..

For most folks, the past few months have likely looked a lot different than usual. Humans are creatures of habit , and spending 99% of your time stuck at home represents a pretty thorough disruption of those habits for many. As a person who was used to spending more like 0.02% of my waking hours at “home”, things have certainly looked different for me. It feels like an eternity ago that I was gearing up for a life without the truck, gath..

The city that I live in (Cambridge, Ontario) was formed as an amalgamation of three smaller towns (Hespeler, Preston and Galt) in 1973. Hespeler gets its name from Jacob Hespeler, who built an impressive industrial empire in the town in 1845. Through his widespread influence, he secured railway access, as well as attracted engineering talent from as far away as Europe. By the start of World War I, Hespeler housed the largest textile mill in..

I’m trying something new. I’d like to regularly write some sort of an update which explains what I’m working on. Since this website doesn’t generate any meaningful traffic, I’m doing this for myself. I’m not imposing any strict time frame on this. I don’t want to do this too often, since I don’t want my blog to be full of posts like this one. I want the blog section to be useful for weary travellers who look for answers, in this world full ..

Recently, almost all my digital drawings were made with a Bamboo Slate tablet and Tuhi . It was good fun to take Tuhi’s drawing data and create my own renderer tuhirender , which can be used from the command line to produce some more advanced effects and tune more of the rendering knobs. tuhirender replaces Tuhi’s own renderer by building on Tuhi’s JSON-based output format for line coordinates and pen pressure data. Basic invocation ....

Dbus and Polkit are two technologies that emanate an aura of confusion. While their names are omnipresent in discussions, and the internet has its share of criticism and rants about them, not many have a grasp of what they actually do. In this article I'll give an overview of these technologies.
