These days if you’re creating a company you likely hope to accomplish more with less people, two ways of doing this fall to: The sharing economy and creating a platform. It’s easy to see the case for this when you have such unicorns like AirBnB or Uber. The opportunity for each of those to compete against hotel chains or taxi services which each need to manage their own inventory is incredibly exciting and revolutionary. In a similar fash....

I went to a meetup recently where a talk was given by Cara Marie of the NCC Group. She talked about decompression bombs and the various compression algorithms that can create these malicious artifacts. You might be familiar with Russ Cox’s post Zip Files All The Way Down , which goes over self-reproducing zip files. However most programs will not decompress the files fromm his blog post recursively. Which just leaves us with the problem of....

Usually when you think of a VPN, you think of accessing an office network from somewhere outside the office . A reverse VPN is for exposing things from your home network into the public. Why? Well for one, you shouldn’t want to expose your home network to the world. There are a lot of risks in doing that. A reverse VPN allows you to securely control what you are exposing. Personally I use this for hooks that Amazon Lamda hits to interact....

In the previous part I talked about how I encountered grounding for the first time, as it relates to a robot, connecting the abstract to the specific. Here, I’ll look more into how it relates to humans, and how it helps with understanding. Grounding, the act of connecting the abstract to the specific, isn’t a novel technique about how to transmit information, like for example encoding morse-code in blinking. Even if we talked to each o....

The first post in a series on creating custom image effects in CSS. We'll take a look at the vintage washout effect.

Organs! Immune systems! Old age! Dying from old age! I’m super excited. I was thinking: “How do I implement old age and death, and health in general? Is health just energy? When the snail is out of energy, it dies? But that seems too simplistic.”

There's a handy HN post pointing to Javier López's Using imagemagick, awk and kmeans to find dominant colors in images . A comment also highlights color-extract, written in Go.

Those of you who regularly check my blog may remember that I was going to redesign Anvil from scratch. Unfortunately, it was an unavoidable step. We had performance issues and it turned out that blindly copying modern web metaphors to Android doesn’t work well. I am sorry, I had to change a lot of Anvil APIs since then. Those of you who have their apps written with Anvil 0.0.12 most likely would prefer to stick with the older version.

It is interesting how Matz (Ruby programming language father) seems to have reached the same conclusion, judging from one of his most recent talks (video). […]

This is the first part of several essays on the principle of grounding. I feel that this principle helps me communicate and think better. I’ll try to keep each essay short A few years ago I was doing my masters, with the goal of using language to command robots. I was very excited because the research was very interesting to me - I needed to understand how to write software for robots, how the robot works as a system, and various fascina....

Developers hate him! We'll cover some standard tips and tricks here, but we're not really interested in those. We're looking for the One Weird Trick to rule them all. Hopefully each trick we encounter brings us closer to coding Mecca. In the beginning The first video game I ever wrote was called Ninja Wars. Yes, that is an HTML table of images. I changed the src attribute to move stuff around.

Macaroons, like Fezzes, are cool. If you find yourself disagreeing, it’s possible you’re thinking of the wrong sort of macaroons , or you’ve yet to be convinced. This is the first in a series of posts in which I intend to explain why macaroons are so interesting. We’ll start by motivating them and defining them, and later expand on the theory behind them and study examples of how they’re applicable in the real world. The name “macaroon” com..

In a world where everything is prepackaged, replaceable, and easily disposable, trash is tragically an unavoidable by-product of living. Whether it’s paper towels, tissues, plastic packaging, cleaning products, cardboard containers, clothing tags, receipts, pretty much every transaction you make is going to generate some type of waste. And waste is, like, generally bad, right? It takes up space, serves no real purpose, wastes resources and ..

Did you know that there is an entirely separate formula to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a sphere? I mean…it kind of makes sense when you think about it. The shortest distance between two points without accounting for the curvature of the sphere would go right through the sphere itself, making it pretty useless when calculating physical distance on, for example, the surface of the Earth.

Hello fellow readers, In this post I'll talk about group and community projects. Everyone has been part of multiple group projects throughout their life. From school researches, to university presentations, to work. It's only by sharing ideas and finding common grounds that goals can be achieved. However, it's hard to maintain cohesion and investment in a group. There's a multitude of problems that arise, the reader can certainly asser..
