Doubleclick to open a file in VIM from OSX I use VIM for just about everything from note taking to coding to keeping track of my recipes. Of course I've dabbled with other text editors, but nothing I've liked so far. But I found myself more and more dealing with a txt file inside Mac's Finder app and then dropping to a terminal and spending time switching directories over to that file to edit it. I wanted to just double click on the txt fil..

This is my full browsing history! (Until March 4th 2019) Why? Why not? I think it might be fun for people wanting to introduce themselves via email to know where I’m hanging out on the interwebz. I hope to get some good reading suggestions from this. I also hope to get more picky with the content I decide to consume.

Ensure the reference time ("Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006") is used in layout string. For example: package main import ( "fmt" "time" ) func main() { goodLayout := "January 2 2006" if t, err := time.Parse(goodLayout, "March 10 2019"); err != nil { fmt.Printf("%s\n", err) } else { fmt.Printf("%v\n", t) } badLayout := "January 2 2009" if t, err := time.Parse(badLayout, "March 10 2019"); err != nil { fmt.Printf("%s\n", err) ..

I was once a heavy user of Google Photos on Android, but when I moved to iPhone, the Google Photos did not work as well native Photos application. Google Photos could recognize very complex queries such as VW Golf with Black Dog almost perfectly, and (a little Skynet level creepy), it used more battery and needed me to delete the actual photos from the devices, whereas Photos just handles everything gracefully, from Apple Watch to TV, it wo..

With one of my many honeypots actived around the world wide web, I discovered an interesting script written with the famous Perl programming language. This Perl script is a malware used to remotely control a machine, opening what is technically called backdoor. If this malicious program runs on multiple machines, there is a possibility that the attacker may have created a botnet. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

If you've ever watched an illegal film, you've probably noticed a watermark in the film. A signature from the uploader, so I take a look into this world of movie uploaders.

I’m a huge, HUGE, fan of LD_PRELOAD let me tell you… oh wait it’s my blog so I’m going to. Where do I begin… About three years ago, I wrote a blog post about the 10 LDFLAGS I love . After writing the post, I realized I should have made the number odd because I think that is part of BuzzFeed’s “click algorithm.” But more seriously, I realized just how many people on the internet you can upset when you don’t include LD_PRELOAD in your favo....

As part of my work on standards under GA4GH , I frequently deal with API specifications, most often written in OpenAPI 3 (OAS 3) . The setup is always similar – there’s a public GitHub repository containing an OAS 3 YAML file and a few common auxiliary files (.gitignore, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, and README.md).

I always learn things about usability when watching my Dad use a computer. Recently I observed the following: So as you type a station name into https://www.thetrainline.com/ it makes suggestions. So there are two fields, the “From” and the “To”. If you enter text in any of them, a drop-down appears with suggestions. Both these points are obviously completely standard UI practices, what could go wrong? It turns out if you enter text i..

Do you remember the last time you saw a before-and-after photo of a an overweight person losing more than a hundred pounds? On the left, they look bloated, and their facial expression often betrays sadness. On the right, they’ve slimmed down, posing with their old clothes for comparison. And inevitably their face glows and they radiate confidence and positive outlook. I’m really fascinated and in awe when I hear about a person who had ser....

From the Intel x86 Manual : In the mid-1960s, Intel cofounder and Chairman Emeritus Gordon Moore had this observation: “… the number of transistors that would be incorporated on a silicon die would double every 18 months for the next several years.” Over the past three and half decades, this prediction known as “Moore’s Law” has continued to hold true. Moore’s Law is coming up a lot lately in the context of coming to an end. It’s k....

I remember seeing too much of this up close and personal. I was kicked out of one church, not for trying to expose it, but just trying to get it to stop. This has a lot to do with why the conservative push faded out some years ago; too much of the immoral shenanigans were associated with conservative activists.

So I’ve been working with a containerized solution recently which runs outside of Kuberenetes using an Azure VMSS to scale out. I won’t dive into the reasons why we went down this route but one really interesting thing came of out of it. How do you automatically healthcheck a container outside of Kubernetes? Well it turns out docker has this covered in newer versions. You can specify a HEALTHCHECK inside the docker file to monitor the co..

Unlike for circles, there isn’t a simple exact closed formula for the perimeter of an ellipse. We compare several well-known approximations, and conclude that a formula discovered by Ramanujan is our favourite, due to its simplicity and extreme accuracy.
