First! - artemislena.eu - 5 years ago - eng
For those who do not get the reference: In very active forums and news sites with comments such as ComputerBase (which reminds me, I have not visited that site for probably months now, and it was not that bad after all), it kind of used to be (and probably still is) a cliché that the first person who wrote a comment would not actually write something useful, just something like First!, as it was not that easy to do that, considering how q....



I could not get reliable connections with docker-machine or docker context. This is how I got 100% reliable connections through ssh forwarding. It’s also more secure. You don’t need to expose any additional ports. # create bash function function dockcon () { # if used with the argument `unset`, close the connection # see the part after this conditional to understand it better if [[ " $1 " == ....

Vulnerabilities are not born equal, and their risk variance is influenced by an array of objective and subjective factors. Effective prioritization depends on an accurate assessment of these factors.

Our Rollers (employees) are the most essential “ingredient” to our success and culture. This pandemic is like nothing any of us have been through before. So, as we navigate this time with our Rollers, we want to ensure they are being supported… but we can’t read their minds! The best way to understand their needs and concerns is to ask them via a survey, interpret the results, and then take action. That’s just what we did and will continue ....


In this post, I am going to talk about Django Rest Framework or DRF. DRF is used to create RESTful APIs in Django which later could be consumed by various apps; mobile, web, desktop, etc. We will be discussing how to install DRF on your machine and then will be writing our APIs for a system. Before we discuss DRF, let’s talk a bit about REST itself. What is Rest From Wikipedia Representational state transfer (REST) is a software architectur....

Running Google Lighthouse five times will half the variability of your test results. So how do you figure out which run is the median?

Would you believe you can participate in cryptocurrency production using a simple Raspberry Pi computer? No need for powerful ASIC miners! Peercoin is an interesting altcoin that has minting capability built-in, and minting is the ability to create new coins from the ones you already have. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up a dedicated Raspberry Pi computer to mint the Peercoins in your wallet.

Internet Friends - ferrucc.io - 5 years ago - eng
The ability to make friendships through your passions is the best super power that the internet gives us. The best things that happened in my life happened through communities on the internet. Here’s a story of all the places I hanged out on the internet and made friends from. Until the first year of high school I’ve been offline.  My experience until then with the internet was running a Blogspot to sell snacks in middle school (wi..

I’ve been programming TypeScript professionally for the last two years. Even with that much TypeScript experience it’s always useful to have a beginner’s mindset.

In my book, A Programmer’s Introduction to Mathematics, I describe the Taylor Series as a “hammer for every nail.” I learned about another nail in the design of modern smartphone accelerometers from “Eight Amazing Engineering Stories” by Hammack, Ryan, and Ziech, which I’ll share here. These accelerometers are designed using a system involving three plates, which correspond to two capacitors. A quick recap on my (limited) understanding of h..

I recently had an interesting experience with Python dictionaries that made question one of Python's foundational principles i.e. TOOWTDI: There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. More… The application was a large scale JSON processor and, in Python, JSONs are mapped to Python dictionaries which correspond to Ruby hashes. The issue is ....

Somehow I got curious: what would be the smallest bitmap font that would still be readable? why 2x3 grid There are plenty of existing retro 8x16 bitmap fonts, like the ones used in VGA graphics and text-mode consoles. We should probably be able to go much smaller than that. We only need to encode 26 different symbols. If our encoding is perfect - we need roughly 5 bits of information, or 5 pixels, each being either black or white.

I recently had the odd situation where it seemed like I had outbound Internet connectivity issues under Ruby powered by Docker but not with Python powered by Docker. Here's how I disproved this: docker run -it ruby:2.7.1 ping google.com 64 bytes from ord30s26-in-f238.1e100.net (216.58.192.238): icmp_seq=1 ttl=37 time=15.2 ms 64 bytes from ord30s26-in-f238.1e100.net (216.58.192.238): icmp_seq=2 ttl=37 time=15.5 ms and docker run ....

I am currently involved in leaving a gig where I've been for a year now and I find myself breaking one of my fundamental engineering beliefs, in effect, engaging in an anti-pattern . If a pattern is what you should do for something then an anti-pattern is what you should not do . The anti-pattern I find myself engaging in is really, really simple; I am writing all new code in my last two weeks of work. Not fixing bugs or doing cle....

This post is a recipe for setting up a minimal Kubernetes cluster on Fedora without requiring virtualization or a container registry. These two features make the system cloud-agnostic and the cluster entirely self-contained. The post will end with us running a simple Flask app from a local container. This setup is primarily useful for simple CI environments or application development on Linux. (Docker Desktop has better tooling for develo....



Would you like to clearly understand what's happening when you use the Python import keyword? Do you want to use modules more effectively to structure your code? Or maybe you're ready to move to the next level with your Django project by adding user management. This week on the show, David Amos is back with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.




We’re busy preparing for our software engineering fall hiring season . Over the years we’ve done our best to make our interview process more transparent to candidates. While many candidates show up knowing something about what our interviews look like, much of the information floating around on the internet is outdated or wrong. These past few months have also changed a lot about the process as we’ve adapted to working from home and other ..

We are delighted to announce a new AWS Quick Start featuring Snyk Container and sample deployments for quickly and easily securing workloads running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes service (Amazon EKS).

Do you find yourself struggling for hours to solve problems with Formik? I've started using a different library that's much simpler.

I went on a motorcycle trip. A fellow TOMCC 1 member was planning a solo trip to Campo Imperatore (“Emperor’s Fields”), the well known alpine meadow in the Apennine ridge. He called me as he was looking for some advice, and well, I ended up joining him. What sparked my interest was the destination, of course, because Campo Imperatore is a superb place to visit, especially on a motorcycle, but also Antonio’s peculiar take on the journey....

In this article, I explore an anti-hype opinion on service meshes and aim to provide a clearer perspective on whether they are the right solution for specific problems.

Technology keeps progressing faster and faster. It’s accelerating. Or so I’m told. But is it really? How can we tell?


How does Grouparoo use Next.js to load pages and components from plugins to modify our web user interface?

We’re excited to unveil Snyk’s developer-first prioritization capabilities, helping development and security teams prioritize fixes for security vulnerabilities in their open source dependencies and containers more effectively!

For developers, deciding which security issue to address first is hard, requiring time and expertise developers often don't have. This is a chance for the right tools to shine, providing the expertise to know which security questions to ask when prioritizing, and the technology to answer them quickly.

Outsourcing has put America in a precarious position. It quietly became one of the greatest threats to national security over the course of several decades, unrealized until the Coronavirus pan(dem)ic revealed the fragility of our situation. David Adler and Dan Breznitz, in the American Affairs Journal, discuss the issue and offer some concrete suggestions for fixing it. I encourage you to give it a read.
