Recently, when I tried to access http://slashdot.org/ in Firefox, I would see my browser title bar flash briefly to “AT&T GUI”, and then I would get redirected to: http://slashdot.org/ cgi-bin/redirect.ha which returns slashdot’s custom error 404 page! What is going on? (Read on for answer…) Did slashdot mess up their mod_rewrite config? (Nope, works fine in a different browser...) Did my HTTPS everywhere extension go crazy? (N..

Originally published on the AdRoll Blog on November 12, 2014 . The advertising industry has undeniably become a data play, as consumers are generating valuable data with every digital interaction. We hear buzzwords like “big data,” “machine learning” and “real-time algorithms,” but little about how these puzzle pieces fit together to help marketers achieve their business objectives. Over the last few years, the ad tech industry has lea....

Level design for days" has been my motto for several months now, and this week is no different. Behold, new challenge levels! These are timed, bite-sized maps with simple goals that can be completed in under a minute. They're the kind of things you can create in the level editor and share on Steam. I need to find a new texture for that garish green material. Lots of other things are happening, but they're more like a million ti..

Deploying your first Python-app can be tedious if you want to do everything by yourself. There are many great tutorials that help you set up all the necessary programs you’ll need to host your webapp. And trust me, it’s not easy: You’ll have to use a webserver that proxies the requests from your browser to a WSGI server . This in turn handles the communication with your app. You’ll also have to serve the static media like images, w....

pHTTP offers very powerful support for a href=http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-13caching/a:/p blockquote pThe goal of caching in HTTP/1.1 is to eliminate the need to send requests in many cases, and to eliminate the need to send full responses in many other cases. The former reduces the number of network round-trips required for many operations; we use an quot;expirationquot; mechanism for this purpose (see section 13.2). The latt....

Problem: Alice chooses a secret polynomial $ p(x)$ with nonnegative integer coefficients. Bob wants to discover this polynomial by querying Alice for the value of $ p(x)$ for some integer $ x$ of Bob’s choice. What is the minimal number of queries Bob needs to determine $ p(x)$ exactly? Solution: Two queries. The first is $ p(1)$, and if we call $ N = p(1) + 1$, then the second query is $ p(N)$.

Robert C.Martin, of Clean Code fame, has something to say on the role of we programmers in today’s society. We rule the world. We don’t quite understand this yet. More importantly, the world doesn’t quite understand it yet. Our civilization doesn’t quite realize how dependent it has become on software — on us. He goes as far as suggesting a programmer’s code of conduct of sorts. Food for thought I guess, although I suspect we’re to..

The D programming language has quickly become our language of choice on the Data Science team for any task that requires efficiency, and is now the keystone language for our critical infrastructure. Why? Because D has a lot to offer. A Brief Introduction One of the clearest advantages of using D compared to other typical data science workflows is that it compiles down into machine code. Without an interpreter or virtual machine layer,....

Over the weekend I spoke at the Embergarten Saturday Symposium , which was an awesome mini conference on Ember in Toronto. My topic was “Ember at 10ft”, and it was about how to build a TV friendly interface in Ember.js. The talk was recorded but not yet posted, however I’ve already posted the source code on github. The github repo contains my slides from the talk as well as speaking notes. I’ve also put up an online demo . Check it ..
