I was trying to convert bank-issued CSV files that have a weird data layout, for automatic processing by the excellent ledger . This made me learn a new thing about awk.

Introduction tl;dr I was asked to audit 200k lines of code in a month. I turned them down because I would want to be more thorough than they expected. I was recently approached by a founder (who I will call TF for “The Founder”) of a startup (which I will call TS for “The Startup”) to audit their software in my spare time (for pay, of course). I was contacted on November 14 and told that the deadline was December 10.

One of the tricky bits about Ansible is that new features in the "language" always require the latest version of Ansible itself. And, while logical, this can easily bite you. Here's an example: TASK [deploy_hate-language-modeling_systemd_start : just force systemd to re-execute itself (2.8 and above)] *** fatal : [ aws_master2 ]: FAILED! => {"changed" : false , "msg" : " Unsupported parameters for (....

A colleague just IM'd me and asked if I have a Hello World for redis and my thought was "No but I can damn well blog one together quick as all get out" so … Note : If the word Redis means nothing to you then may I direct you to the quick start ? The thing to understand about Redis is that you can use it in two ways: As a simple key value store, a nosql database if you like. As a data structure server. I don't do this much but I am ....

A Warning About Git LFS and Large Machine Learning Models and Automated Deployments

Github has a maximum size of 50 mb per file under management. And that normally works just fine – until the age of machine learning. Machine learning models are big , staggeringly big . I'm currently working on a project where the underlying model is like 830 + mb. Now when you have large files, git has a facility called "Git LFS" (large file support) and they purport that it is the solution but, well, it really, really isn't. Her....

I’ve been at dinners before with developers that admitted developers, themselves included, can be a bit opinionated. In one case one said for example, “I love Postgres, but I have no idea why.” They were sitting at the wrong table to use Postgres as an example… But it is quite often that I am asked Why Postgres . In fact a little over a year ago good friend Dimitri Fontaine asked if he could interview me for a book he’s working on for P....

Making a Streamlit Machine Learning App into a SystemD Service for Deployment via Ansible

As I documented recently , I've become quite the fan of Streamlit for taking Machine Learning applications written in Python and making them easily available on the web. Streamlit is a very cool toolkit for taking a Python Machine Learning app and adding a simple UI to it and then hosting it via a built in web server. I haven't seen anything really like in the Ruby world and I'm quite impressed by its elegance and simplicity. Note :....

We wrote previously about implementing container security throughout the SDLC, and discussed the trade offs of testing locally, in your CI/CD pipeline, against your registry, and in your Kubernetes cluster. With the new Kubernetes integration in Snyk Container, we’re aiming to make that last part easier to do, and also to bring security information closer to developers so they can more quickly fix vulnerabilities and enable Kubernetes secur..

The Economist took an interesting look at how citizens view politicians when they lie, and their conclusion warrants concern: “You might expect (or hope) that thoughtful people would be more amenable to the force of fact-based evidence than most. Alas, no. According to David Perkins of Harvard University, the brighter people are, the more deftly they can conjure up post-hoc justifications for arguments that back their own side.” Th....

If you are familiar with this blog you know I really appreciate Kubernetes: as a former ops I strongly believe Kubernetes is one way to bundle “the sum of 20y ops good practices”. But there are others solutions one is Nomad. It’s made by Hashicorp, creators of Vault, Consul, Terraform… In general Hashicorp is synonym with quality. Nomad is a task scheduler, a task could be execute a command, run a Docker container or a QEMU vm…

I want to travel more. It’s a well-documented desire of mine. Specifically, I want to plan my own trips, because I’ve historically been pretty terrible at it. I even made a “process” , which I’ll paraphrase here: Wait until a particularly whimsical mood strikes. Bike aimlessly until you find a book store. Enter the book store. Find the travel/travel guide section. Close your eyes. Spin around, preferably 3-5 times. With eyes still cl..

Over my work in different scales of services, I’ve noticed that there is a common pattern in some of these services that makes them easier to approach and cause less headaches to the engineers that handle them. When we deal with millions of users making requests all the time across the world, I’ve noted that there are a few things that help a lot of people to sleep at night comfortably.
