I interact with a lot of people in a given week, a few in person and far more on video and conference calls. I don’t claim to be a perfect person to talk to on the phone, but over the past several years I’ve noticed how painful some conference call experiences can be. As more and more work is conducted virtually and not face to face an ability to do communicate well on conference/voice calls is tied to what success you can deliver. It isn’....

Django For quite some time python has been one of my favourite programming language. Although its not the best choice for all use cases, the right tool for the right job after all, it has a very nice flow to it when programming. Things are easily done, the documentation quite good and there is a lot of help available through google. One of the best examples for the excellent ecosphere of libraries that can be used with python is Django ..

I’m responsible for bringing graduates into Thoughtworks in the UK. I get to work on a number of exciting initiatives, and the one I’m working on right now is a scholarship in partnership with Northcoders, designed to bring more underrepresented minorities into tech. Northcoders is an organisation in Manchester that runs technology boot camps. We chose to work with them because they have very similar values to Thoughtworks, not just in best..

Whenever we publish a Technology Radar, I take a look at broader trends within the technology industry that don’t necessarily make it onto the radar as blips or themes. Creating the Radar is an excellent chance to dissect what’s going on in the software world, here’s the latest: Buy now, pay later

For the naysayers, there’s little value to be found in exploring new programming languages. After all, most languages today are Turing complete — they can implement everything that is implementable — so what’s the point of learning something new? For self-confessed language geeks like myself — I’d learned five of them before leaving university — that line of argument misses the point. There’s always something interesting and exciting about ..

The SCV team at AO.com started with one serverless service. They were so impressed with the turnaround time and low maintenance overhead that the entire team went Serverless First.

This piece, by August Garcia over at the horrendously designed 256 Kilobytes , is a good counterpoint to a paper I didn’t bother linking to when it hit Hacker News last month. Just because we cannot build hacker-proof systems does not mean we should avoid easy steps that will make their lives harder. Permalink.

Unusually for me, I had a bit of a pause in reviewing Sled . As a reminder, Sled is an embedded database engine written in Rust. I last stopped looking at the buffer management, but I still don’t really have a good grasp of what is going on. The next file is the iterator. It looks like it translates between segments and messages in these segments. Here is the struct: As you can see, the log iterator holds an iterator of segments, and....

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Transposit team in San Francisco. Tech is a super small world and it turns out the two founders and I are separated by one-degree through several different people we know. In meeting them I closed many loops without even realizing it, but I digress… Their product is really cool, it exposes a SQL interface for interacting with numerous APIs at once. For someone like myself who deploys a l....

How to increase your chances of finding a hidden camera

Andrew and Nealie Barker write a travel blog, and in their latest post they talk about finding hidden cameras in the houses they stay in. Having the know-how to do things like this makes me glad I chose the cyber security field, even if no part of this process takes a great deal of technical expertise: you can do everything the Barkers talk about with simple apps found on the App Store. I do not make a habit of staying in others’ homes, but..

Mocks are a great way of preventing AJAX calls in tests, but they can also help you isolate side effects and impurities that can create complicated tests. As you learned in Part 1 , mocks are a great way to handle external data or any data that is likely to change. Mocking external data will likely be your most common use case and for a good reason. You want your tests to stick as closely to your code as possible this includes all depend....

In our last blogposts about the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Introduction and NVIDIA Jetson Nano - Install Docker Compose we digged into the brand-new NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit and we know, that Docker 18.06.1-CE is already installed, but… But, this isn’t the latest available version of the Docker Engine. So, I’d like to point you to a few different options on how to upgrade the Docker Engine to the very latest avail....

What should be done for his disciples out of compassion by a Teacher who seeks their welfare and has compassion for them, that I have done for you, Ānanda. There are these roots of trees, these empty huts. Meditate, Ānanda, do not delay, or else you regret it later. This is our instruction to you.” Thus ends the Indriyabhāvanā Sutta (The Development of the Faculties), number 152 in the Majjhima Nikāya collection and in my opinion there real..

A couple of years ago I posted a tip about rich text view which worked out reasonably well. But it’s a bit outdated by now and it’s worth revisiting. During these two years we published the Facebook Clone which used this component. In the facebook clone I did a lot of work for the rich text. This work added support for alignment and clickable hyperlinks as well as a couple of bug fixes. Following is the code I used in the Facebook Clo..

I can’t remember where on The Internet™ I originally saw it, but at some point in the past few months I came across an article about a woman selling her preposterously picturesque home in Canada for the low, low price of $19 and an essay of (at most) 350 words. The catch here (because houses usually cost more than nineteen dollars) is that you have to win the contest (i.e. have the bestest essay), and the woman running the contest nee..

Our hero, a mathematician, is writing notes in LaTeX and needs to convert it to a format that her blog platform accepts. She’s used to using dollar sign delimiters for math mode, but her blog requires \( \) and \[ \]. Find-and-replace fails because it doesn’t know about which dollar sign is the start and which is the end. She knows there’s some computer stuff out there that could help, but she doesn’t have the damn time to sort through it a..

Nathaniel Popper, writing for the New York Times, explains the extreme steps Jameson Lopp took to hide his personal information. An interesting piece, it reminded me of a great article Evan Ratlif wrote for Wired in 2009 titled Gone Forever: What Does It Take to Really Disappear? . I also rediscovered the interview with Matt Sheppard that Evan mentioned at the end of his article, as well as his follow-up piece where he attempted to di....

Drew DeVault on the dangers of using a virtual private network, or VPN: “[VPN providers] can identify you much more precisely because you used your VPN login to access the service. Additionally, they can promise not to siphon off your data and write it down somewhere — tracking you, selling it to advertisers, handing it over to law enforcement — but they could and you’d be none the wiser.” Anyone thinking of using a VPN should read ..

Matt Reyer talks about turning his web front-end into a much lighter client.
