At work there is a tradition of a Friday quiz being posted by the winner of the previous week. I missed out on the most recent one due to having to duck off early to do my tax but the problem was rather an interesting one. The challange itself is not as simple as you would initally think and taken from a 2015 IBM Ponder This https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/ponderthis/challenges/May2015.html

When writing object-oriented code, you frequently want a constructor that takes in values and assigns them to object fields. Some languages reduce the repetition required for this.

Alone on a Friday night, in need of some inspiration, you decide to relive some of your past programming conquests. The old archive hard drive slowly spins up, and the source code of the glory days scrolls by... Oh no. This is not at all what you expected. Were things really this bad? Why did no one tell you? Why were you like this? Is it even possible to have that many gotos in a single function? You quickly close the project. Fo..

The other week a paper was released that reported that about 37% of sites included at least one JavaScript library with a known vulnerability. We ran our own test and discovered that the reality is much worse—76.6% of sites were using at least one vulnerable library.

I’m tired of having the same conversation over and over again with people so I figured I would put it into a blog post. Many people ask me if I have tried or what I think of Solaris Zones / BSD Jails. The answer is simply: I have tried them and I definitely like them. The conversation then heads towards them telling me how Zones and Jails are far superior to containers and that I should basically just give up with Linux containers and use....

Yesterday, FiveThirtyEight featured a fantastic article by Trevor Martin, a Ph.D student in Computational Biology at Stanford University. Martin’s piece, Dissecting Trump’s Most Rabid Online Following, looked at the toxic communities surrounding Donald Trump, notably r/The_Donald, by using a machine learning technique called latent semantic analysis. LSA uses words and concepts from two sets of documents […]

Over the past few years, Cerner has been developing a standards-based platform on top of our Cerner Millennium® EHR. Rather than roll our own API, we’ve been using the HL7® FHIR® standard. For app integration, we’ve been using the SMART® on FHIR specification. If you’re not immediately familiar with those acronyms, you’re definitely not alone. As we were developing the services, we were also fielding questions from 3rd party developers, ans..

Performance bugs - the dark matter of programming bugs

There is a class of bugs lurking out there that I class as performance bugs . A performance bug is when the code computes the correct result, but runs slower than it should due to a programming mistake. The nefarious thing about performance bugs is that the user may never know they are there - the program appears to work correctly, carrying out the correct operations, showing the right thing on the screen or printing the right text. It....

Last year we released TrailDB , a library we use extensively at AdRoll to efficiently store event data. Today we’re open sourcing trck , a query engine complementary to TrailDB that we use to analyze trillions of discrete events in TrailDBs every day. As you may remember, the TrailDB data schema is very simple: Every user (or “trail”) has a sequence of timestamped events associated with it. Every event has a number of fields, and t....
