A post in which I ramble about Starbucks and how if you squint, it's a place that some people treat as their second home.



Nobody likes to be put in a box, nobody likes to be paralyzed. In a world where the individual is put first, we want to feel in control. Yet, we are lost in a whirlpool of chaotic and clashing ideologies, memeplexes and absolutist templates. Who are we, how should we define ourselves? This makes us distrust any form of authority and renounce classical forms of media. As individuals, we're looking for authenticity, whatever form it can take ....

I got interested in telephones and the Voice Over IP (VOIP) scene soon after reading Phil Lapsley’s Exploding the phone (2013). According to the book, there is a whole underground of VOIP hackers. I had not come across them while lurking in the information security scene. After my interest sparked, I started paying more attention to telephone-related security research. The podcast Darknet Diaries by Jack Rhysider has a great first episode c..

The name SQLite is a nice name, but the “lite” part is misleading, it sounds like it is only useful for tiny things - which is very wrong. SQLite should be named AwesomeSQL, because that is what it is. SQLite is probably the only database you will ever need in most cases Yeah. This article resonates with me. SQLite is the de-facto standard engine for embedded systems. But it should also be the go-to database for all those websites and ..

This article will show how to run a simple language model, KenLM. It’s not as powerful as transformer-based models like BERT or GPT-3, but depending on what you’re trying to accomplish it may be more than enough. This tutorial should take you about 15 minutes, including the time to run the scripts. Let’s work backwards from where we’re trying to get to. When you’ve finished, you should be able to run the following script:

Update: I’ve amended this post with a valid reason to use the header. More info at the bottom. This post was written in a hurry in response to some misinformation about Google’s newest Web antifeature, Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). Google’s FLoC is an attempt to track users even when their browsers (rightly) block third-party cookies. The initial blog posts about this issue were quite benign, but online discussions quickly devo....

I remember the first mobile phone I ever saw. A “car phone.” It looked a bit like an old corded telephone hooked up to a car battery in a bag that weighed 30 pounds. I thought it was awesome; my father was on the bleeding edge of a technological revolution, and he was pretty much a super hero. Was it pretty? No. Actually mobile? It couldn’t leave the car, but the car could move, so sure.

Linux 5.13 is going to include the unprivileged sandboxing feature Landlock, which has been in the making for many years now. Unprivileged means that you don’t need special system-level privileges like root or CAP_MAC_ADMIN to use it, as some other Linux sandboxing mechanisms do. Philosophically speaking, you should not need additional special privileges just to drop the privileges that you already have. How it works With Landlock, ....

Are you looking for a bit of order when working with dictionaries in Python? Are you aware that the Python dict has changed over the last several versions and now keeps items in order? Could you learn more about object-oriented programming in Python by comparing it to another language? This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

In Part 1 of this series, Resigience is defined as a higher order life-skill that will help every system and person adapt to the new (post-pandemic) reality. Part 2 was our observations of how people have consciously and unconsciously leveraged the principles of agility and resilience. This post is a discussion of how countries have adopted this very philosophy.“Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist, everything we do after a..

How to rewrite legacy applications or split monoliths into microservices without slowing down on delivering features or introducing bugs in your system.

In this part of the series, we'll explore the bigger picture and the generic issues and 'ill effects' on societies that are brought by the emergence of the internet or accelerated by it. We'll begin with a look at three inter-related subjects, a general social paralysis, an apparent sentiment of homogeneity, and the relation with the widespread neoliberal mindset.

A recent reddit post on /r/golang titled Go2TV - cast videos to UPnP/DLNA MediaRenderers caught my interest. In this blog post I’ll try to get it working with my Samsung TV.

We have been talking about open banking, or the broader legislative framework that supports it, Consumer Data Right (CDR), for a long time, but it seems like nothing has really happened. Yet it would be a mistake to turn away now.


Every entrepreneur wonders: “Will my startup sink or swim?” When Felix Brandon and his wife Jordan Lloyd Bookey launched Zoobean, a startup focused on children’s reading, they found themselves swimming in rough waters early on. A few months after launch, the founders were invited to pitch their business on the TV show Shark Tank. What […] The post How Heroku’s Scaling helped Zoobean through their Shark Tank Pitch appeared first on Hero..


The code for this post can be found on my GitLab While the last two years have realized a number of risks that we had all left unmitigated for far too long, one even greater risk has yet to be realized: the risk of unscheduled time travel. Yes, the grave concern that must be considered is that one moment you might be hanging out in the mall parking lot and the next you might find yourself delicately navigating 1955, aware that your only hop..

Brain dump post, excuse typos and writing getting this out of my head while I still remember it. In this post I’m going to go through how I used query based parameters to setup an Application Insights workbook so it does not have hard coded resource ID’s in it’s definition. This means it’s much easier to use for automated deployments where these ID’s aren’t known and as new resources are deployed the existing workbook picks these u..

I did a recent AMA on Clubhouse and there were a lot of awesome, hard-hitting questions on the panel. So for the next several weeks, I’m going to write out my thoughts to each of the questions and how I answered them.

As you may know, we are moving to Maven for our build tool. As part of this transition, we are moving towards a single Maven project structure, and away from separate structures for each IDE. This will be easier to maintain, and will also make it easier to collaborate on projects with other developers who use a different IDE (or no IDE at all).

To be a netizen means to be part of the online social sphere. There's no way around it, to have a voice and participate people have to join a platform, which comes with its own limitations. The rules of the platforms are the rules of the information society but the platforms adapt more to fit us than we adapt to them. Anything happening on them is directly because of real people interacting together. People that have their own hopes, emoti..
