This past week, MAD Magazine announced that, after 67 years, it would cease publication by the end of the year. Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising - print magazines have been going extinct for almost two decades already. I honestly can’t remember the last time I bought a magazine of any kind. The Internet has killed print publication just like video killed the radio star. But I’m sad for MAD. I have many fond memories of it growing up..

I took over a team in June, and like Dwight, I have more than one priority. We have our mission and all the tasks it entails, but on my own time, I decided to also encourage my Solders to take an active role in their personal development. This involved a long write-up, a detailed plan, and a list of many books, articles, and projects to guide their study. Those will make their way here in time, but for now, I want to highlight some of the g..

Run Your Own Website - zacs.site - 6 years ago - eng
I go back and forth on running my own website. I love working on First Crack , but that work can become trying. I have little time for projects , and the more I spend coding, the less I read and write. On net, though, I consider this a worthy pursuit , and so I do not plan to move away from my setup any time soon. Many feel the same, and over the last few months in particular, I have seen a lot more people express this on websit..

On July 2nd, 2019, Snyk published a high severity prototype pollution security vulnerability (CVE-2019-10744) affecting all versions of lodash, as the result of an on-going analysis lead by the Snyk security research team.


To emphasize the complexity of tracking a function's dependencies, in a recent State of Open Source Security report 2019 Snyk showed that security vulnerabilities in indirect dependencies account for 78% of overall vulnerabilities.

An inside look at PSPDFKit's development processes, from proposal-based feature planning to monorepo management and release automation.

Today I presented at the Sydney Dev Warriors meet-up about a project I was working on from the start to end of 2018. In a nutshell it was a self serve digital archive for video, audio, images and metadata. Since I am in the habit of collecting everything I do into one place I chose to do the presentation using reveal.js which means I can also include it here. How AWS and Go Transformed a Public Broadcasters Digital Archive .

I recently moved into a bigger condo which had a wall mount pre-installed in the bedroom for a TV, so I decided to take advantage of it and bought a second TV . Previously, I was using an Intel NUC attached to my TV and running LibreElec . If you’ve not heard of LibreElec, it’s a very cool minimal Linux OS that sets itself up to run Kodi . It is remarkably easy to set up, and even found and setup my obscure USB remote control automat..




Multi-tenants is an architecture concept that can handle multiple projects in a single project container. If you look at popular sites like Nike.com or Mi.com, you will find out the project redirection based on the continent or country region. This post more about understanding the Angular 8 project package configuration, using this how are we leveraging the project for multi-tenant architecture.


Once a language gets complex enough, programming in it is more like carving out a subset from an infinite sea of features, most of which we’ll never learn. Once a language feels infinite, the costs of adding further features to it are no longer apparent". - [Mark Miller] ( https://medium.com/@erights/the-tragedy-of-the-common-lisp-why-large-languages-explode-4e83096239b9) The new try proposal is an addition to the language that introdu..

A-Frame is a VR (Virtual Reality) framework written in JavaScript, developed by Mozilla. It runs in the browser and can display interactive 3D scenes in your VR device. How to build a VR website of a rotating sculpture with A-Frame, I want to show in this article.

Now that WSL 2 packs a true Linux kernel and supports Linux containers (via Docker), it can be a perfect setup to perform application cross compilations.

I’ve worked as a PM at a number of size companies for a few years now. At a startup and then as a part of a larger company once startups were acquired. I’ve been the first PM for a team as well as first for a company. I’ve written at times about product management, and today I’d like to drill into one aspect that doesn’t seem to get talked about enough and that is the pairing of product manager and engineering manager. Mom vs. Dad A....

This is a roundup of my experience as a 👨🏻‍🍳 Chef Technology Officer, building the tech side of Al.ta Cucina , the fastest growing recipe site in Italy! In two months we went from idea 💡, to product : The Story April 15th. I just finished interviewing for a bunch of tech companies to move away from Italy. I’m trying to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do next.

You can see the original and my re-typeset version on Github along with all of the code in this series.

Since re-releasing First Crack , I have made some great progress on the project. Not enough for version 2.0, though, so I spent the last few days thinking about how I wanted to post new versions. In short, I decided not to. Permalink.

In this article, we take a deeper dive into the benchmark exercise times and weights for the 2019 CrossFit Open athletes, including sprinting, running, squat, deadlift, clean & jerk, and snatch.

SnailLife Genome Lab - liza.io - 6 years ago - eng
For the Go rewrite of SnailLife I decided to focus on tools early. In the PHP version as the complexity of the simulation increased, my debugging methods were not able to keep up. I did some remote-stored categorized logging and such, but it wasn’t really enough. Figuring out a bug in the brain or the snail’s genome often took hours of digging around.

This is just some dumb shit I’ve been musing on, but I think it might be healthy to type up some of these errant streams of consciousness. My normal process is to force these thoughts on some FNG on my boat, who has no choice but to sit their and listen to my infinite wisdom, lest he upset me and I curse him into endless dinq -ness. Today I’m thinking about programming, and why people who want to learn programming are among the worst l..
