Patrick O’Neill did a nice job explaining why Microsoft, as an organization, does threat intelligence so well. Yes, it has piles of money and legions of smart people to throw at this problem, but Microsoft’s biggest leg up over everyone else is the massive data flow its ubiquity enables. This means its Threat Intelligence Center sees things no one else does, and has the context to identify malicious activity that — even given the same raw....

Braindump - warning] So I’ve been playing with devcontainers for Visual Studio Code, they’re awesome… go play with them. They let you use a Dockerfile to describe all the tooling needed for devs to get started with your project. One of the side effects is that you have a nice Dockerfile which you can then also use it for your build server meaning that you never have an inconsistency between your local setup and your CI server.

The Eagle's Nest AirBnB Cabin on the Ohio River; One of my favorite places… Last night I was on a coding tear, that moment when the solution is just crystal clear.

So my new gig has moved to doing daily agile standup meetings and while I've done these before, I don't think I've ever seen them done quite so consistently well. And the credit for this goes to my boss, Dave Sifry, who is our lead facilitator. We are a team of 8 people and, so far, we have brought them in at under the scheduled 15 minutes per meeting every time. Here are the techniques that we are using: Start on time . If everyone....

One of my favorite conversations I had with a colleague back in early 2015 was about Ansible, the future of provisioning VMs, pets vs cattles, Infrastructure as Code and the ways an organization can make sure that an administrator isn't leaving behind a backdoor when they leave the organization. We had that discussion on the day they gave their one month notice and announced their resignation.

Ever since 2008 when my pairing partner at the time, Jared, pushed me to basically live in the Rails console, I've been heavily, heavily dependent on the console as an essential developer tool. I just watched something that pointed out to me just why it is so damn important. Here's what I observed: 2.6.3 :057 > m.change_pct_today_over_goal? Goal Load (65.2ms) SELECT `goals`.* FROM `goals` WHERE `goals`.`habit_id` = 39 ORDER BY `goal....

I know this is dirt simple but I'm writing it down because it is one of those simple things that I just forget constantly. In each of these cases, the output is to the str variable.

Of course python doesn't have blocks … with open ( 'data.txt' , 'r' ) as myfile : str = myfile . read () Python 3.....

I've been actively working on a side project for the past several months and one of the people who has been helping out a bit around the edges wants to learn how to program Ruby on Rails. Since this, like everything I always do, is a distributed, remote effort, an in person teaching effort just doesn't work. When they pushed back on the feature set I was making and said that it wouldn't work for them, I said "Well that's fine, tell me wh....

Cameron Desautel has a great post on Working Faster in Emacs by Reading the "Future" , highlighting M-n 's usefulness for inserting minibuffer default values. Invoking M-n in shell-command 's prompt is handy for quickly getting the current buffer's file name. This works great for one-off shell commands like "chmod +x script.sh" or "tidy -xml -i -m data.xml" . Unfortunately, these commands aren't easily reusable from shell-comman....
