This is quick braindump of getting SnailLife Go building and testing on Go 1.10. A few days ago I decided to start building and testing SnailLife Go on Go 1.10 RC 1 (now RC 2). It took a bit of wrangling, but after updating my local environment and finding the best image to use for GitLab CI, I now have it building on Go 1.9 and 1.10 rc 2.


A variable in Java is a name of a memory location that can hold some value. Variables provide an easy way for programmers to access memory locations. The word variable itself is a combination of “vary + able “, a value that can be changed. Every Java variable has: A name A data type which specifies the size and layout of variable, memory location associated with it, range of values that the variable can hold and operations that ca..

I am going to try and enjoy the small things in life and focus more on those close to me; something that is not always easy when caught up in the hustle and bustle of life.

Update 2018-04-19 - GitHub has implemented some rules around retiring "namespaces". To prevent developers from pulling down potentially unsafe packages, we now retire the namespace of any open source project that had more than 100 clones in the week leading up to the owner’s account being renamed or deleted. This is a decent half step but I'd still love to see either permalinks or every namespace of a user permanently retired ....

UPDATE: I’m leaving this series up for historical purposes, but please note that I no longer recommend Ubuntu Core or snaps for use in robotics. This is the third blog post in this series about creating your first robot with ROS and Ubuntu Core. In the previous post you were introduced to the Robot Operating System (ROS), and got your robot moving by ROSifying one of the CamJam worksheets. Today we’re going to move beyond the CamJam workshe..

The concept of Filesharing (and digital piracy) has been around since before even the basic days of the internet - where floppy disks, and, even earlier, rolls of punch-paper, were shared at swap meets. The Internet, as it is always keen to do, revolutionized filesharing in a big way. Bulletin Board Systems was where shareware began to congregate, where the very idea of the “scene” really began. Eventually, the Scene spread to Usenet, the..

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather. We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks.

TL;DR:  AMP is Google tech for loading pages quickly on mobile. Basically AMP is the Google version of Facebook Instant Articles. Google is pushing this tech as a mean to increase the overall volume of mobile Ad inventory – essentially more page views means more revenues for publishers and Google via DoubleClick. Solving page load issues can be done without AMP and should be probably done without it.  Google tech selling page for AMPIn shor..

Should you buy LED bulbs? What about replacing an old vehicle with a more fuel-efficient vehicle? When exactly is an energy efficient upgrade worth the investment? While part of these questions has environmental and safety considerations - making the answer a definite “it depends” - the financial aspects are a little more straight-forward. Essentially the answer is “yes” if the item - LED bulbs, a car, or what have you - pays for itself in ..

I was really looking forward to this book as I had listened to a podcast where they explained the ideas behind it. The two authors run a design course in Stanford that gets massively oversubscribed and has a huge impact on those who take it by looking at life as a design problem. The aim is to come up with lots of possible routes for your life that could be awesome and then design a path to achieve one of them. If that doesn’t work you can ..

These nature photos are absolutely stunning. Some people have a gift for photography … and I am not one of them.

Literally Probably wont do that for now – that’s like super expensive for what it is – meaning just a keyboard – but would really be a great stuff to build. I mean I checked this site : KBDfanswhich is referred in the video – and yeah.. what can I say these mechanical keyboards parts are freaking awesome! Any of you out there did that already?

so yeah… I know it was supposed to post everyday. Well, it is apparently not 100% there yet. I know it is coming so I am not too worried. Maybe a bit disappointed with myself. The whole idea of /var/log was to create a space online where I could somehow journal my work, my research, my idea, draft my articles without holding it all either on my computer or in my head…

A vulnerability is a vulnerability, whether known or not. The key difference between the two is the likelihood of an attacker to be aware of this vulnerability, and thus try to exploit it.

At Cerner, we often make use of many open source projects in our infrastructure. I work on a team responsible for Cerner’s Ingestion Platform, a critical piece of infrastructure that takes in TBs of data and over a billion messages per day. The platform’s responsibility is then to make this data available for downstream teams to consume. When designing the Ingestion Platform, we felt Apache Kafka was perfect for ingesting and consuming thes..

My daughter loves dancing - always has done - whether it is street, contemporary or ballet. However she faces none of the challenges the dancers (and musicians) in this video face. I won’t spoil it here … just watch.

Intel have just announced a new set of smart glasses that don’t look stupid. Admittedly the functionality is a lot more limited that other offerings however these look a lot more normal than them. It provides very limited functionality to display a small red image in the lower part of the wearers vision. Cleverly it also disappears when the user is not looking down.

This is such a simple idea and could potentially have a huge impact if it takes off - cafes and pubs filling up water bottles for free.
