If you run a website, whether this is a full-fledged SaaS web application or a small blog — built by Gatsby, Wordpress, or an indie GitHub Pages setup — one of the key concerns you want to mitigate is security vulnerabilities.

I have always found that serendipity plays a large role in my technical life. For example I recently ran into a great article and discussion thread on PDF Text Extraction: Article Discussion Thread The thrust of this article amounts to "PDF Processing Is Hard and Here's Why" (tldr - PDF isn't a document format as much as a layout format and how things are laid out generally bears little relationship to their structure as "document ....

Apple keeps moving the goal posts of xcode requirements for developers. This is good as it keeps the technology fresh but it means support for older devices becomes untenable. Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do and we need to move with the times as Apple will no longer accept apps built with older versions of xcode. The main problem with this is another pain point for iOS developers. Newer versions of code require newer versions of ..

Simple systems deploy faster than complex ones, and fail less often; sometimes they take less time to build, too, but the pursuit of simplicity often entails a long process to prioritize some features while justifying the exclusion of others. Ironically, that process tends to take much longer than just building in all the features, so most choose the latter approach. The end result is complex software that does many things, but few things w..

Oracle Shared Pool Internals: List Chunk Position in the LRU List

There was a discussion at Oracle-L about shared pool chunk eviction and I thought I’d show how to see a shared pool memory chunk’s position in the LRU list yourself. This is a post mostly about Oracle internals and less about practical every day troubleshooting. There’s a view X$KGHLU ( @kghlu.sql script) that shows you a summary of shared pool (sub)heap allocations and how many of these chunks are in the “transient list” (used once) v..

Over the last 7 years, I’ve been maintaining BenchmarkDotNet ; it’s a library that helps you to transform methods into benchmarks, track their performance, and share reproducible measurement experiments. Today, BenchmarkDotNet became the most popular .NET library for benchmarking which was adopted by 3500+ projects including .NET Core. While it has tons of features for benchmarking that allows getting reliable and accurate measurements..

One of the more interesting facilities in Rails helpers which reside in app/helpers/*.rb and are used, well, as helpers. Helpers are basically display level execution of Ruby code. I recently wrote what I thought was a great example of a helper so I thought I'd document it. What I had was a object, stored in the database which had a bunch of data that I needed to display: the object, called a label A serialized hash called labeled_....

I had a question recently about my use of git trash which isn't a standard git command. I accomplished this, about a decade ago, by modifying ~/.gitconfig and, well, I haven't thought about it ever since. Here's my ~/.gitconfig as an example. [color] diff = auto status = auto branch = auto [color "branch"] current = yellow reverse local = yellow remote = green [color "diff"] meta = yellow bold frag = magenta bold old = red bold new =....

Once upon a time I blogged about the controversial things but now, well, I mostly don't care. Still every so often you come along someone getting things so, so, so wrong that you feel compelled to respond. I'm speaking to this tweet by DHH, someone I deeply, deeply respect: Did Facebook just kill off React Native? Either way, it's funny that I actually agree. More Nope. We didn't just see React Native get killed. Just because ....

The dispute about software development methods is over. The agile organization is set to establish itself as the dominant organizational form. Current literature, specifically that relating to agile software development, impressively demonstrates this, both in empirical research and in theory.

Coming out of a busy week at RSA 2020, one of the best aspects of attending was the chance to meet with so many passionate customers and fans of Snyk and listen to their feedback. What was clear this year was a growing excitement around Snyk’s accomplishments — a palpable sense of momentum for our developer-first approach to application security.

In this blog post, we will use our new product feature and enable new projects to be created in Snyk automatically.

As I read through part one and then, later, parts two and three of Kris De Decker’s interesting series on mechanical power transmission, I knew I had read other articles from the Low-Tech Magazine before. A quick check through my archive proved me right: for those looking for other interesting reads on low-tech solutions to hard problems, check out How Sustainable is a Solar Powered Website? and How to Build a Low-tech Internet , t..

Suppose we have some codebase we’re considering applying some patch to, and which has a robust and maintained test suite. Considering the patch, we may ask, is this patch acceptable to apply and deploy. By this we mean to ask if the patch breaks any important functionality, violates any key properties or invariants of the codebase, or would otherwise cause some unacceptable risk or harm. In principle, we can divide all patches into “accepta..
