Cory Doctorow, in Inaction is a Form of Action : “Itâs tempting to simply laugh off these ‘free market’ fetishists as they get their comeuppance when Alex Jones and the Daily Stormer get kicked off the internet, but that is to miss the wider point: we are now in a speech environment where power is so concentrated that the whims of a half-dozen tech execs determine — for all intents and purposes — who may speak and what they may say....

Automated bots creating fake accounts are a persistent problem targeting any user self-registration systems and django-allauth is no exception. The most common approach to discourage these bots is to incorporate a captcha on your signup page that adds a layer of validation, with Google's ReCaptcha being the industry-standard implementation. Integrating recaptcha into django-allauth can be tricky so in this post I'll cover the steps to add a..

Tables make it hard to give hierarchy to data. To underline the importance of certain values in a table you can use chips that highlight the values with colors.

One of the better lessons that you learn as a programmer is that you never want to work too large, in short, that laziness can be a virtue. I'm speaking, of course, of doing things manually that you can automate. I recently wanted to download a set of images from github that represented anonymous animals. Here's the repo: [https://github.com/wayou/anonymous-animals/tree/master/icons](https://github.com/wayou/anonymous-animals/tree/mas....

Series Index Python and Go: Part I - gRPC Python and Go: Part II - Extending Python With Go Python and Go: Part III - Packaging Python Code Python and Go: Part IV - Using Python in Memory Introduction Like tools, programming languages tend to solve problems they are designed to. You can use a knife to tighten a screw, but it’s better to use a screwdriver. Plus there is less chance of you getting hurt in the process.

I recently learned about the concept of a “shadow” that Carl Jung defined. According to it, each of us has a psychological shadow - the part of us that we suppress unconsciously. It’s usually a darker side which society makes us hide, such as a side of violence, but it doesn’t have to be negative. It can be different sexuality, or creativity. It is there, even if we aren’t aware if. For me personally, on the surface level I’ve struggled w....

TLDR: Visit Github repo if you are not interested in the internals of the lib. Today I present you another library I made in Go language, called, Fehrist From the Github README: Fehrist is a pure Go library for indexing different types of documents. Currently, it supports only CSV and JSON but flexible architecture gives you the liberty to add more documents. Fehrist(فہرست) is an Urdu word for Index. Similar terminologies used in Arabic(فھر....

Curl has support for sftp and scp, among many other protocols. In one of our php-applications we use libcurl to transfer files via sftp to a remote datacenter. We recently migrated this application into a docker-container. With it we transferred the private key into the container, so the application can connect to the datacenter. However the job that periodically transfers these files wasn’t working anymore when run inside the containe....

How to evenly distribute points on a sphere more effectively than the canonical Fibonacci Lattice

Mapping the Fibonacci lattice (aka Golden Spiral, aka Fibonacci Sphere) onto the surface of a sphere is an extremely fast and effective approximate method to evenly distribute points on a sphere. I show how small modifications to the canonical implementation can result in notable improvements for nearest-neighbor measures. tl;dr: Get a summary of this post … Continue reading "How to evenly distribute points on a sphere more effectively ..

Overview # The primary thrust of this book is that television has degraded our mode of public discourse. Our news, politics, education, and even religion are delivered to us primarily through television, where they were once delivered via the written word. This transformation of medium is not irrelevant: just as poetry doesn’t survive fully intact when translated from one language to another, likewise ideas do not survive translation o....

In a previous post, I've underlined the philosophy behind Domain Driven Design, DDD, and now I'd like to move to a practical approach that handles real issues in software development and architecture, requirements that constantly change, and models that are never precise, never current, and/or never using the best technology available. One of the solution to such problems is to build an evolutionary architecture.

Terraform in AWS: use AMI Names not IDs - and is Terraform the right answer still?

In AWS the AMI ID for a particular VM image is unique to that region. But it’s name is consistent across AWS. When building infra-as-code (such as terraform) use the name, not the ID. And some musings on terraform. Is it still the right answer for infra-as-code?

I created a PMOD module PCB using KiCAD, that enables connecting WS2812B lighting strips to an FPGA board with a PMOD interface. The board was assembled by JLCPCB. This is my first project using an FPGA, I plan to soon implement an SPI interface with the FPGA, to accept colour pixels via SPI from a […]

My wife recently got kittens and wanted to show pictures of them with our kids via our ChromeCast. The problem is that there seems to be no simple way to do that. Here's the work around I came up with: Create an album on your iPhone and put all the pictures in it. Go into that album and look at the movie that Apple Photos makes for the album. Click the share button and select to save that video. Go into the YouTube app and upload that ..

Paul Hudson authors excellent Swift material at hackingwithswift.com . I regularly land on the site while searching for snippets from the browser. I was wondering if I could search for snippets directly from Emacs. Turns out, hackingwithswift uses a JSON HTTP request for querying code examples. With this in mind, we can use ivy-read like Oleh Krehel's counsel-search and search for Swift snippets from our favorite editor: (require '....

The previous post about JVM turned out to be well-received, so I would like to uncover another fun topic related to JVM - Java agents. Although not everyone gets a chance to write custom Java agents in his career, they are still a wonderful field to explore and open an endless way to customize JVM behavior. Java agents are special in the way that JVM allows them to do much more than a regular Java app is allowed to: they can instrument or p..

I recently published an alpha version of a code generation tool, DBCore, that reads a database schema from PostgreSQL or MySQL and generates an entire Go API with CRUD operations, pagination, filtering, and authentication. But more than just generating code like xo/xo or gnorm , DBCore defines a standard REST API that can be implemented in any language -- and includes a reference implementation in Go. I'm eager to add Java and Rub....

Dangling DNS records are not something new. They are just out-of-date DNS records which may have served its purpose in the past. This DNS record trash has been there for ages and was not considered a security issue. They are pointing to some resource (IP or DNS record) that was owned/trusted in the past. What makes the dangling DNS record deadly is the fact that others can seize the resources that the record is pointing to.
