I am a Ruby on Rails guy and I censored hate deploying Ruby stuff. I've been deploying Rails stuff now since 2007 and, quite honestly, it sucked in 2007 and it sucks today. The only way I've ever found Rails deployment to not suck is by using Heroku which is absolutely magical and wonderful – but expensive. Now I've recently become hooked on Heroku and the ease of its Git push based deployment structure. The problem is that I need mor....

Once upon a time, I was speaking with a company founder and they mentioned that they had a VP of Engineering to whom they have given a 1/3 stake in the company. I immediately commented that was too much and then said "I'll write this down in a blog post" – and then I never did. Last night, oddly, I woke up from a deep sleep with the desire to write this down. And that brings us to this post. Here's what I can remember from that conve....

I know this is simple but I am JavaScript / CSS challenged so I'm writing it down because I've had continuous problems with it in the past and I know that this solution works for Bootstrap 4. Let's say that you have a div that you want hidden and only displayed by a button when you click it. Here's the solution: Toggle Feeds |

The counsel family of Emacs search commands are great for searching the filesystem. More specifically, counsel-rg , counsel-ag , and counsel-pt , which use the popular ripgrep , silver searcher , and platinum searcher utilities. counsel-rg is my default searcher. It returns results quickly, with live updates as I tweak the search query. Up until recently, my queries typically matched text in files only. This works great, but ev..

UPDATE: This is now available on melpa . Back in 2015, I bound the "<" key to a hydra for quickly inserting org blocks. The idea came from Oleg's post on org-mode block templates in Hydra . The suggested binding settled in my muscle memory without much effort. Fast forward to Febrary 2019. I replaced the hydra with org-insert-structure-template when org-try-structure-completion was removed from org mode. No biggie, as I kept the....

Patrick O’Neill did a nice job explaining why Microsoft, as an organization, does threat intelligence so well. Yes, it has piles of money and legions of smart people to throw at this problem, but Microsoft’s biggest leg up over everyone else is the massive data flow its ubiquity enables. This means its Threat Intelligence Center sees things no one else does, and has the context to identify malicious activity that — even given the same raw....

Braindump - warning] So I’ve been playing with devcontainers for Visual Studio Code, they’re awesome… go play with them. They let you use a Dockerfile to describe all the tooling needed for devs to get started with your project. One of the side effects is that you have a nice Dockerfile which you can then also use it for your build server meaning that you never have an inconsistency between your local setup and your CI server.

So my new gig has moved to doing daily agile standup meetings and while I've done these before, I don't think I've ever seen them done quite so consistently well. And the credit for this goes to my boss, Dave Sifry, who is our lead facilitator. We are a team of 8 people and, so far, we have brought them in at under the scheduled 15 minutes per meeting every time. Here are the techniques that we are using: Start on time . If everyone....

One of my favorite conversations I had with a colleague back in early 2015 was about Ansible, the future of provisioning VMs, pets vs cattles, Infrastructure as Code and the ways an organization can make sure that an administrator isn't leaving behind a backdoor when they leave the organization. We had that discussion on the day they gave their one month notice and announced their resignation.

This post first summarizes what browser fingerprinting is, and common defenses. Second, the post presents problems with “dynamic privacy approaches”, and why Brave is skeptical they are effective for protecting against fingerprinting. Third, the post presents Brave’s fingerprinting protections, current, upcoming and longer-term.

Ever since 2008 when my pairing partner at the time, Jared, pushed me to basically live in the Rails console, I've been heavily, heavily dependent on the console as an essential developer tool. I just watched something that pointed out to me just why it is so damn important. Here's what I observed: 2.6.3 :057 > m.change_pct_today_over_goal?
