As seen in a previous tutorial, creating a serverless function for AWS Lambda with Java and MongoDB isn't too complicated of a task. In fact, you can get it done with around 35 lines of code! However,... The post Serverless Development with Kotlin, AWS Lambda, and MongoDB Atlas appeared first on MongoDB .

It was the spring of 2014, over 9 years ago, just 6 months into my first year of college, when my Computer Architecture teacher stopped in the middle of an assembly exercise to tell us that Bitdefender is hiring juniors for Malware Researcher positions. I had no idea what that is, but boy, did it sound cool?… I fondly remember how at that time we weren’t chasing high salaries and filtering jobs by programming languages and frameworks.....

Recently, I started writing about defensive statistics . The methodology allows having parametric assumptions, but it adjusts statistical methods so that they continue working even in the case of huge deviations from the declared assumptions. This idea sounds quite similar to nonparametric and robust statistics. In this post, I briefly explain the difference between different statistical methodologies.

Denis Villeneuve, expert of visual storytelling, frequently employs the panning shot with an extensive use of the parallax effect to immerse viewers in his films, allowing them to experience a sense of place, scale, and depth like never before. He uses these teqniques most visibly in “Blade Runner 2049” (2017), “Enemy” (2013), and “Dune” (2021), highlighting how his use of the panning shot and parallax effect enhances the audience’s immersi....

Suppose we’ve got a service. We’ll gloss over the details for now, but let’s stipulate that it accepts requests from the outside world, and takes some action in response. Maybe those requests are HTTP requests, or RPCs, or just incoming packets to be routed at the network layer. We can get more specific later. What can we say about its performance? All we know is that it receives requests, and that it acts on them.

Dear new developer, Over the last twenty years, I’ve had two work modes. I’ve either been at a company for a number of years (3, 8, 2, and 3) or been a contractor/consultant working for clients for weeks or months. Both modes have upsides; I wrote before about the benefits of a small consulting company. … Continue reading The Benefits of Sticking Around →

After almost a decade of running my current desktop, I’ve hit the point where I ought to cut my losses and start with a fresh build for my needs rather than attempt upgrading. And with a prospective part list and a new build on the horizon, the bittersweet task of backing up files 1 and choosing what I want to carry on to a new computer rears its head once again. Normally it’s fun, akin to a deep spring clean without the risk of backac....

I recently wrote about Emacs 29's new sqlite-mode , which enables you to browse sqlite databases from your beloved editor. Out of the box, it supports the following browsing features: sqlite-mode-list-data: List the data from the table under point. sqlite-mode-list-column: List the columns of the table under point. sqlite-mode-list-tables: Re-list the tables from the currently selected database. On the editing side of things it suppo....

Since I maintain a few projects that deal with source code one of the things I needed badly was a way to parse and understand gits .gitignore and .ignore files in order to get as much accuracy as possible. I had previously tried using code I lifted from The Platinum Searcher albeit with some fixes to avoid crashes. Annoyingly however it never implemented glob’s correctly. I tried searching around for another implementation but none appe..

Hi, Im Chinesischen gibt es ein berühmtes Sprichwort: “Die beste Zeit, einen Baum zu pflanzen, war vor 20 Jahren. Die zweitbeste Zeit ist jetzt.” In der Softwareentwicklung kennen wir das doch auch. Immer wieder beschweren wir uns über die Fehler, die wir damals gemacht haben. “Müsste man mal machen.” Das ist so ein Satz, der in jeder zweiten Retrospektive fällt. Technische Schuld häuft sich an. “Müsste man mal machen.”

Today I learned the difference between flotsam and jetsam. I was listening to Dimension 20 and I had actually never heard of either of those words before. A Google search led me to NOAA’s NOA website, which defined the difference between the terms. Apparently it is often used as a phrase, sort of like “odds and ends” but “flotsam and jetsam.” But there is a distinction: Flotsam is defined as debris in the water that was not deliberately th..

A variable's name is more important than its type, so the name should be more prominent and come first in declarations.

I've jumped on the Emacs 29 bandwagon! Mickey Petersen has a great rundown of What's New in Emacs 29.1 . Now every so often, I need to take a quick peek at an sqlite3 table. Emacs 29.1 ships sqlite-mode , which can help with that. Use sqlite-mode-open-file to open a database. Pressing RET on a table shows its content via sqlite-mode-list-data. DEL does as you'd expect and delete a row via sqlite-mode-delete.

These summer weeks have been amazing for stargazing. I’ve moved to the country and I’ve been able to stay in a darker place than in the past, so I could enjoy a much better vault of the sky. While sitting there, I recalled some of the Norse creation myths I had read in a very interesting book 1 , which introduced me to a stunning and complex mythology. I want to make a quick recap here of some of the coolest facts I noted down, but I ....

More and more my son is reading on his own. And my daughter is trying to mimic her older brother and “read” on her own, too.

In the few areas where I have a clue about what people are thinking about, there's words that make me wonder whether this person is either clueless or assuming I'm clueless. One example is that in New York City, if you ask someone what their favorite type of food is, and they respond with "Asian", it sets off a few alarm bells. I'm not a very sophisticated restaurant-goer, and even I know that a description like that is so broad as to be ....
