I love the way this article explains some of the key issues with designing distributed systems and how to solve them. It uses the illustration of a theme park and the rides - very clever and a fun read, which is unusual for a distributed systems article!

On March 8th and 9th, 17 teams of Cerner associates competed for the Golden Keyboard during our 11th ShipIt Day. During this 24-hour hackathon, associates were challenged to create something innovative, usable, and value-adding. This was the fourth ShipIt held at our new Innovations Campus, leveraging the wonderful collaborative spaces available. With Shipit XI, we expanded upon a time-honored tradition of this event, the traveling trophy G..

Hackers Can Take Full Control of Online Compilers through a Common Exploit

Online compilers are a handy tool to save time and resources for coders, and are freely available for a variety of programming languages. They are useful for learning a new language and developing simple programs, such as the ubiquitous “Hello World” exercise. I often use online compilers when I am out, so that I don’t have to worry about locating and downloading all of the resources myself. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

An old “ridiculous” math problem about how long it takes an orchestra to play Beethoven’s 9th that went somewhat viral on Twitter and elsewhere a year or so ago made me think about less-obvious problems in math word problems.

Late to the party, but investing in going paperless. Got a scanner with OCR, which generates searchable pdfs. If I could only grep through them… brew install pdfgrep Balance restored.

Let's say you've been using a machine for a year or two and over time you gradually become more attached and dependent on it. This is a situation I've found myself into more than once and it is quite annoying, it's straining for the brain. I've been through it the past few days and it and I kept wondering about the ways I could make it less of a pain. Imagine if today you suddenly lost access to your current work machine, what would you do?..

So I bought a laptop from System76 with linux and I'm slowly getting my tools and environment going. I've been using macos on macbook for a while, maybe 8 years or so, not sure. I'm pretty dang adjusted to it, and so far the shift back to linux has been pretty jarring. If I wait too long to write down thoughts, I'll skip them, so here's some stream-of-consciousness notes so far. The New Laptop Hardware nice light weight small and light p....

So, here are some of my notes on designing for trust. It is more and more important to look at design beyong its usability function and start to think about the emotional state of the user. (Funny enough I just found a video from a designer talking about that 8 years ago… so yeah… it is really time then…) As I was working on design principles for a projectthe other day – I started to dig into this concept of trust and design.

Every now and then I hear some ridiculous things about the equals symbol. Some large subset of programmers—perhaps related to functional programmers, perhaps not—seem to think that = should only and ever mean “equality in the mathematical sense.” The argument usually goes, Functional programming gives us back that inalienable right to analyze things by using mathematics. Never again need we bear the burden of that foul mutant x = x+1! No no..

In a similar vein to my previous article , here is a script to change the line endings of all files across all revisions in a Git repository to UNIX line endings. git filter-branch -f --tree-filter 'find . -name .git -prune -o -exec sh -c "file {} | grep -q text" \; -exec dos2unix -q {} \; ' Subversion, by default, stores all files in the repository in the line endings in which they were created. Git, by default, converts all files..

I actually started teaching on April 13th 1998 (20 years ago today). It was my final year as a student at the University of Waterloo, and as I was finishing up writing my final exams I realized that I needed to actually go out and get a real job to support my family (I was married with a daughter at the time). Prior to that, I had worked on some very cool technology projects for various companies (including some big names like Microsoft..

So your product bills customers and produces invoices. Being self-employed, I have to go through my bank statements and send those invoices to my accountant. This is what I wish companies who produce invoices would do: Invoices are PDFs. PDF files are easy to put into a directory to send to my accountant. PDF files can be styled to actually look like invoices. (HTML files inevitably look different depending on your zoom level, and so ..
