My friend went on a multi-day hike, but as luck would have it, his tent broke after three days. This r....

Michael Feathers says that legacy code is any code without tests but I’d go a step further and say that legacy code is any code that is still running even though the original developer(s) are no longer working on it. And there is certainly plenty of that in financial institutions. There are other characteristics too, such as: unreproducible production environment incomplete source control missing files ‘master’ fails to build no a..

Python 3 and Python 2 have various functional differences. On their own, they’re not necessarily better or worse (though arguably Python 3 should be an improvement), but any change may introduce risk. This post highlights and explains a few differences between the versions that have security implications.

In 2010, a group of designers from Columbus, Ohio set out to create a grassroots, cross-discipline, and creative conference. Since that first event, Midwest UX has been an ongoing tradition that attracts innovative ideas and provides an opportunity for regional professions to engage in discussion with other professionals. Last year, Amber Wilks and Dr. Becca Green were invited to take their talk from DevCon 2016 on the road to Midwest UX.

In early 2015, I was working at an artificial intelligence startup. My team was planning to build a web application to connect to our neural network platform. The team as a whole had experience (on the AI–side) with Python, and the web team had a lot of experience using Django. We’d implemented a hybrid-app in Cordova using Backbone.js the previous year. My task was to evaluate the state-of-the-art in the frontend development landscape. I....

One year ago I’ve started to collect temperature from my house using Acurite sensors. These sensors are not too expensive and good quality but the “base” aka the radio receiver connected to internet is costly and totally closed, it’s sending your data to the Cloud™, it’s not just Acurite, all those “IOT” devices are generally poor on the software side. Receiving radio data Most of these sensors have their protocols already reverse engineere..

PacBSD is a FreeBSD kernel/world with a PacMan Arch package manager and an optionnal OpenRC init system. In short ZFS, DTrace and the FreeBSD kernel but the simplicity of Arch for packages management but the Gentoo init. It’s experimental, uncompleted, unfinished, lacks proper documentations but it works and could be/should be the solution we are waiting for :). Here is some notes on installation (in QEMU), note that it slightly diverges fr..

Code Coverage Organizing code so my 100% tested code is kept separate from other dev's 70% tested code so at least part of my coverage report is green. Flat UI DynamoDB Tables WTF is with dynamodb not having the concept of a database. This is terrible. Now we need to configure every table name for each deployment? Terraform Drop Heads up, if you use terraform and change your dynamodb table key schema, it will drop and recreate you....

It's fun to re-imagine traditional techniques with a Swift twist. I've implemented a type-safe layer on top of the venerable NSUserDefaults, and I'm going to discuss my little library today. Credit/blame for this idea goes to local reader José Vazquez, although he inspired it by accident while talking about something else. (Read More)

This is a C++ introduction tutorial for beginners with an example that will print the text “Hello, World!” written in C++ into the console window. Hello World! is one of the most ubiquitous examples in any programming language. All it does is to print Hello World! and exit the application. As with many things, C++ can do one thing in many ways. Hello World! This simple program will print Hello world! in C++ followed by a newline..

Every day we wake up from sleep, but we aren’t really awake. We are only awake enough to drive our cars, do our work and cook our food. And when we take a break, and we’re awake, we’re still asleep. We blink, but we don’t think. And time tic-tocs away. Coffee doesn’t wake us up. It helps up sleep walk. Yet, it can help us think, and mindful thought is the only thing that wakes us up. I’m talking about a meaning of the word “awake” that is....

Ever being the entrepreneur, I’ve been playing around with Amazon’s Print-On-Demand service Merch by Amazon . I’ve been doing this since March - although I believe I requested an account sometime late last year - and in my first four months, I had lackluster sales. Hell, I had no sales at all in the month of April!

One important aspect of any Internet of Things setup is being able to collect and visualize data for analysis. Seeing trends in sensor readings over time can be useful for identifying problems, and for coming up with new ways to use the data. We wanted an easy solution for this for the c-base IoT setup. Since the c-base backstory is that of a crashed space station, using space technology for this made sense. NASA Open MCT is ....

Envato devs had not developed a strong filter in order to avoid any XSS Attack, and I noticed that I could perform a XSS Injection. I have contacted Envato and, after some investigations, they have discovered that my vulnerabilities were critical! They thanked me and patched the vulnerabilities within 5 business days. Good job Envato!! -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

Where just a few months ago we launched Snyk for Serverless, we are now taking it to the next level by launching the Snyk Heroku Add-On. The add-on is currently in beta, which means it’s free to try out! We’re looking for people to take it for a test drive and provide us with some feedback.

Modern Javascript has gamified programming by creating more micro-success moments (aha! finally got it!). But we know there is No Silver Bullet[1], so it couldn’t have created more moments where you finally solve your hard problems (“essential complexity”). Instead, it has created many opportunities to beat problems you wouldn’t have in another environment (“accidental complexity”) and […]

That’s me on Shark Tank. It’s episode 12 or 13 of season 1. When I was 19 years old, I appeared on the American reality television show Shark Tank . The premise is simple: entrepreneurs pitch a hard-boiled set of investors to give them money for a piece of their business. It’s based on a Japanese television show called Dragon’s Den . I appeared on Shark Tank in 2009. I wasn’t shy about it - it’s been a part of my “bio” for years. Wha....

Here at SoundCloud, we’ve been working on helping our Data Scientists be more effective, happy, and productive. We revamped our organizational structure, clearly defined the role of a Data Scientist and a Data Engineer, introduced working groups to solve common problems (like this), and positioned ourselves to do incredible work! Most recently, we started thinking about the work that a Data Scientist does, and how best to describe and share..
