A hacker broke into a Google Nest and cranked up the heat. A baby monitor was hacked, and the hacker said that he was going to kidnap the baby. Another two hackers broke into Ring cameras and talked to young girls . Remember this video ? “On th..

Photo Credit - Lisa Meece ; Thank You) Today is December 23rd and I am writing in the wee hours, that wonderfully still time when all is quiet in the world. Between the early hour and the time of year, I've found that this always makes me thoughtful. Many of the people I know and care for are terribly hard on themselves. They seem to feel that if they aren't perfect, they need to beat themselves up for that lack of perfection. And I....

I have two 4K TVs at home, one in the bedroom and one in my living room. Both have consoles attached. One has a PS4 Pro and one has a Nintendo Switch and both are great. However, I also have a gaming PC in my office, which is quite powerful compared to any home console Mine is equipped with a RTX 2080 TI GPU, and a 9900K processor, so it can play pretty much any new game at 4K with a solid 60 fps on high settings.

I was chatting with a team member of mine about their career growth plans a few weeks ago and while we were on the topic he mentioned he’d always appreciate book recommendations for growing into engineering management. I thought over it a bit and decided this would be a great topic to share with everyone else. So without further delay, here are my favorite books I’ve read to grow in my engineering management career in no particular order.

Photo Credit - Lisa Meece ; Thank You) During last week's offsite, my boss let us know that he wanted to go down the OKR rabbit hole in 2020. OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results and is a management philosophy promoted by John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins who most famously got it internalized by Google with great success. According to Wikipedia : Objectives and key results is a framework for defining and tracking objectives ....

This year was flat-out awesome! I can’t think of many years in the past decade that had the same amount of academic, physical, and personal fulfillment all in one year! On the academic side, I presented a 12-week Linux+ webinar series at night to IT instructors worldwide for the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) Instructor Network. This, of course, fit well since I just finished writing the 5th edition of my Linux tex..

Introduction This second post of the series about my graduation project focusses on the De-Dispersion methods that are considered and their algorithms. These build on the models presented in part 1 . Equation numbers are numbered through in all parts, so references can be towards part 1. Coherent versus In-Coherent De-Dispersion De-dispersion is the process of reversing the effects of frequency dispersion of a signal, in this case the s..

Seven years since the first commit, I am glad to announce that Eve v1.0 has been released. Check it out on PyPI. If you are using Eve, Cerberus, FatturaElettronica for .NET or any other one of my open source projects in a revenue-generating product, it would make business sense to sponsor my open source development. Learn how to do that at my GitHub Sponsors page . Happy holidays to all of you and have a wonderful start in the new..

Make was created in 1976 by Stuart Feldman at Bell Labs to help build C programs. But how can this 40+ year old piece of software help us develop and maintain our ever-growing amount of cloud-based microservices?

This is /Ω/, also known as /tech/, the technology board. The intent is that this board will be used to discuss all things technology, that don't fit in /λ/, /Δ/, or /sec/. News, debate / discussion, questions (big and small), cybernetics, etc. are all welcome here. This is not a place to start a flame war about software X or hardware Y. Do not run random commands you see posted, especially if you do not understand its usage. If ..

In the software industry, three years is a long time, except in one area: paradigms. And I think the industry is about to experience a paradigm shift. The new paradigm is called Structured Concurrency . Why is it the next biggest paradigm? Well, let’s talk about that. According to that Wikipedia article, it was first named and formulated in 2016 by Martin Sústrik (creator of ZeroMQ ) in a blog post and an update and then refin..

Another year has come and gone. 2019 was a pretty wild year for me, with a number of big life events and transformations like I haven’t had in a long time.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the importance of how ideas are packaged, and the effect this has on persuading the intended audience of the idea. Mostly this was due to the Dolly Parton’s America podcast telling the story about how Dolly Parton’s involvement in the 9 to 5 movie and soundtrack supported the feminist movement of the 80’s, while Dolly Parton is a country singer that does not identify as a feminist. Despite that, her soundt....

Today, I passed the Life in the UK test . Wasn't quite sure how to study for it. During my commutes, I listened to the Life in the UK 2019 Test audio book . A friend recommended lifeintheuktestweb.co.uk . Overall, I found their practice tests very useful. Taking a bunch tests helped me internalize the material. Took some notes along the way (mostly data with years attached) and dumped it into an org table . This helped me form a men....

Introduction This post will be the first in a series about my graduation project. As a final deliverable I will have to write a scientific paper as well, which will be made available for download when its done. The idea behind these blog posts is that they serve as a more expanded version of this final paper for general documentation. The goal is to make it accessible for persons not directly involved with my field of study. It is highly r....
