Pet project – literally – as the kids want a cat – and we are ok – just we need a solution for when we travel and are not home for a few days up to 10 days max. So we need to get the cat to be able to eat and to take care of its basic needs without destroying the flat. Here is what I found: Input Food Simple version 1:Simple version 2:Simple version 3:Advanced v1:Advanced v2:Water Output More complex to handle

The more you know about a given topic, the more you realize that no one knows anything. For some reason (why God, why?) my topic of choice is game development. Everyone in that field agrees: don't add networked multiplayer to an existing game, you drunken clown. Well, I did it anyway because I hate myself. Somehow it turned out great. None of us know anything. Problem #1: assets My first question was: how do I tell a client to u..

Sometimes I want to understand the GC performance impact on an application quickly. I know that there are many powerful diagnostic tools and approaches, but I’m a fan of the “right tool for the job” idea. In simple cases, I prefer simple noninvasive approaches which provide a quick way to get an overview of the current situation (if everything is terrible, I always can switch to an advanced approach). Today I want to share with you my favor..

Introduction I was guided for many years to write functions that are generalized and to create layers upon layers of abstraction so things don’t break as business requirements change. That the cost of breaking a function signature, for example, is expensive and something that should be avoided. Therefore, write functions that take more generic parameters or hide things in a receiver or context to be less prone to breakage. On the surface..

In recent years, Apple has been heavily criticized for the security implications of their market centralization and policy of irreversible operating system updates. Mobile device users are strongly pressured to install packaged iOS upgrades that cannot be rolled back. While this practice greatly increases security for most users, there is an inherent danger to this centralization. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

950 words, 4 1/2 minutes. One of the reasons why organisations ultimately fail at Cyber Security, is because the office of the CSO lacks power. In this post I’ll explain why that is and what we can do about it. Why The CSO Lacks Power The Cyber Security industry constantly strives to produce better products and services. Engineers work tirelessly to improve deployment practices. There are dozens of courses and certifications designed to imp..

On December 14th and 15th, 18 teams of Cerner associates competed for the Golden Trophy during our tenth ShipIt Day. Being this was our tenth, it was fun to reflect back on how this event started and how much it has grown. It has been great to see ShipIt Days start from small hackathons organically run by individual teams to now an engineering-wide quarterly event that brings together engineers from disparate organizations, allowing for a ..

Nearly everyone working in an Information Technology (IT) field has at least one IT-related certification. This is because IT certification is commonly used as a skills benchmark for hiring and promotion, and it’s been that way for a long, long time. So where did all this certification stuff start? If you look online, there isn’t even a Wikipedia page that can give you that answer - like many things in the technology world that predated ..

Every SnailLife model struct has a repository struct to go with it. Since all repos are implementing the same Repository interface I wanted to reuse most of the code for testing them, but also allow for custom repo-specific tests. For example,OwnerRepo does some stuff that StableRepo does not - like optionally retrieving stables belonging to an owner.

The concept of a global village stems from an idealistic view of a shrinking world, connected through electronic media. What is far, comes closer, nothing is out of reach anymore. Maps shape our undestanding of the physical world, so I decided to invert it. To shape the maps according to the understanding of the world - in this case according to the concept of a global village. I shrank the world little by little by removing empty, unu....

I really liked Simon Sinek’s other books but didn’t get into this one as much - don’t get me wrong, it is still an excellent read and you can learn a lot.

Steve Kerr, the coach of the Golden State Warriors basketball team, took an usual step recently by allowing his players to coach instead of him. He felt that things had become a little staid and wanted to shake things up … it worked - they won by their highest margin of the season. Sometimes leadership is knowing when to step back.

I got to take part in a crypto ceremony that I heard about on Radiolab. It was surprisingly easy to participate. What is the Powers of Tau Ceremony? I won’t pretend to understand. The digital currency group, The Zcash Foundation, posted an announcement late last year that explains it, but the main thing I got was this. The best part is that the Powers of Tau […] can scale to hundreds (or even thousands) of participants. As the numbe....

The general problem we are trying to solve is to provide a customise learning path for users Here are some of the videos I found relevant and quick research notes. #Machine Learning with WordPress(not as much about wordpress as I thought it would be but a nice intro) #Building a Machine Learning Platform at QuoraVery good consideration – must relisten to it again.

I just crossed 100,000 reputation on stackoverflow. I've posted 1618 answers. Most of this activity was around node.js and javascript, especially from when I was really focused on learning a new ecosystem between 2011 and 2014. Analytics indicate my answers have reached 6.3 million people, which I'm very pleased with. I earned gold badges for javascript, node.js, and express. My favorite badge is "Necromancer" (answer a question more than..
