Jay Rayner, writing for The Guardian : “I ask where he thinks this dysfunctional system [the fragile global food distribution system] has come from. ‘There is a culture of British exceptionalism. We were the first industrial nation in the 18th century and then became the dominant imperial power in the 19th century and pursued that as a way of feeding ourselves.’ Critics often point out that we were less self-sufficient in food in the e..

Jean-Louis Gassee, in yesterday’s Monday Note : “An answer to the now age-old ARM-ed Mac question now emerges: With the emphasis on the iPad Pro as a real computer, there’s no reason for Apple to move the Mac off of trusty if perhaps less glamorous Intel processors.” If I may finish his sentence, “... there’s no reason for Apple to move the Mac off of trusty if perhaps less glamorous Intel processors, because the iPad will soon re....

When talking about Oracle background processes, there’s a term/qualifier “fatal” background process. This means that when one of these background processes crashes, then whoever detects the process disappearance (PMON or LGWR or CLMN possibly), will shut down the instance as it cannot function normally anymore. Not all background process crashes take down the whole instance, for example processes like J000 and P000 are technically backgro..

There are a lot of times in life when I don't know what to do and so I ask myself: WWMD? This is also known as What Would Mom Do ? So, when confronted with the question of: How should social media marketing be handled for a new website focused on COVID-19? I thought "What would Mom do?" and I came up with the following: Mom would tell people when there is something new on the web site in the same way that Mom always told....

We have a lot of remote meetings as most of our team work a significant amount of time from home. Face to face meetings are much better for some types of meetings - especially workshops and retrospectives. As the level of expected collaboration increases the more it favours face to face interactions.

Image source Monitoring distributed microservices like Kubernetes is not an easy task because they require real-time attention and proactive monitoring. To overcome this challenge, many companies develop various open-source monitoring tools for Kubernetes. Some tools collect metrics, others collect logs. Some are Kubernetes-native, others are more agnostic in nature. Some are data collectors while others provide an interface for operating ....

This blog post is a quickie where I document how I deployed CovidNearMe onto Google Cloud Platform or GCP using HatchBox.io . I need to start by giving a huge shout out to Tony Carnevale from Google who went above and beyond in providing outstanding support. Here are the stages. Stage 1: Create a Cluster Note : Even a single machine is considered a cluster. Go to HatchBox.io Login with your account. Click on Clusters and define....

Gitleaks has become quite popular. Its features gives a tough competition to its predecessor trufflehog. Some of its uber cool features are: Comparatively fast when scanning large repos (as it is a compiled Golang binary) It can run on all platforms that Golang supports. User can add custom regex to detect more secrets Allows whitelisting of detected secrets / false positives Allows audit of GitLab and GitHub repos, groups and orgs.

The other day I was listening to this Bikeshed podcast episode , where the hosts were discussing when is it a good idea to memoize values using ||= ruby idiom. Since this is a common question even among seasoned developers, I decided to write up my take on it. The short answer is: never . Problem Let’s take a look at this example. We query the database to find the user by id, then use their email to make an API call to download a prof....

Quickly finding related built-in elisp functions (without prefixes) can sometimes take a little poking around. Some modern and predictable built-in exceptions I now reach out to are: map.el for key/values, alists, hash-tables and arrays (built-in as of Emacs 25.1). seq.el for sequence manipulation functions (built-in as of Emacs 25.1). subr-x.el has a handful of string functions (built-in as of Emacs 24.4). let-alist.el wonderfu....

In this article we will try to understand how chess engines work by porting the sunfish chess engine to Go. Sunfish is notable for its simplicity and small size, while still being capable of playing decent chess. Go is also known as a simple and highly readable language, so I hope the two of them could make a great couple. To build a chess engine one has to decide on three important topics:

If you want to overlay a rendered graphics on top of an image or a static video in Blender you should use the fSpy tool. It matches the camera to specified frame of reference. Unfortunately it doesn’t support EXIF meta information. That means that it sometimes fails to properly orient an image. When it comes to an image orientation there are two factors: how image is encoded and the EXIF orientation value. A great explanation can be..

Pointers seem to be the most confusing part about C. It takes a while to fully understand them. As soon as you start feeling what they are about you stumble on a pointer to a pointer. Technically not that much changes but, again, it takes a while to create a solid understanding of what’s going on. As they say: you don’t understand something if you can’t explain it in a simple way.

On most projects there is a tendency for someone involved to become the “expert” in one or more areas. As they become comfortable and more knowledgeable in an area they will naturally gravitate to picking up tasks related to it. The need to deliver as quickly as possible can also drive this as the person who knows most is likely to be the person who can do the work quickest.
