Part 1: What's missing in Form Security Part 2: Forms—A better way Part 3: Defiant—A step toward unification What's Missing In Form Security One day, a professor came to me with an interesting question: "Corey, my server is getting hacked! Can you figure out how?" "Can you tell me what exactly is happening?" "Yes," he replied. "Somehow, people are uploading files to my server, and trying to hack me." And with that, I delved int....

Being my dream to work for one of the Big 4, since an early age I stated to learn the skill-set I’d need in order to be interviewed in Microsoft. This blog intends to be a little recap of the things you can do to make your possibility of entering a Big 4, far greater. Early in October, Microsoft came to my campus for recruiting. We had a very cool coding contest, and did good enough to get another interview.

Introduction If there is one thing that has been made abundantly clear over the last decade in tech, it’s that understanding your data is paramount to achieving your goals. Understandably, many startups have sprung up promising to aid every company and their employees with data analytics to fully optimize not only their work lives, but their personal lives too. Knowledge is power. Of course, the more power you have, the more knowledge yo....

You’ve probably heard that story about NPM community and LeftPad package, that broke thousands JavaScript projects worldwide. There was a nice follow-up article titled “Have We Forget How To Program” and one guy even created left-pad.io - Left-Pad As A Service web service. People got a lot of fun discussing this story. I personally find this story amazing, because there is no single point of failure, but rather a set of things and c..

In this post, I’ll tell you about the recently released “automatic grouping” or “AutoGroup” feature in mgmt , a next generation configuration management prototype. If you aren’t already familiar with mgmt, I’d recommend you start by reading the introductory post , and the second post . There’s also an introductory video .

This is #2 in a very long series of posts on Stack Overflow’s architecture. Previous post (#1): Stack Overflow: The Architecture - 2016 Edition Next post (#3): Stack Overflow: How We Do Deployment - 2016 Edition Who loves hardware? Well, I do and this is my blog so I win.

If you only have a few UI elements, a small data class and your controllers have only a few actions to perform - you may consider using no architecture at all. Just make a global “controller” object and/or a global data object. By “global” I mean you may use dependency injection, or propagate the instance from the root activity to its child views, or make it a singleton. Simply bind data to your views and call controller methods from your e..

When people first hear about Anvil they don’t trust it because at first glance Anvil seems to be just a replacement for XML layouts. It’s not. It’s a library to build predictable reactive views. There are many known disadvantages of XMLs (poor code reuse, no type-safety, no variables, very limited styling support etc etc). Yet the developers are so much used to XMLs that they started liking them! Let’s see how one can use Anvil in all its p..

Over Easter 2016 (March 25th – 27th) I played in the Wellington Open Chess Tournament. I play in the tournament about half of the time. This year it was again being played at the CQ Hotel in Cuba street so I was able to stay at the venue and also visit my favorite Wellington cafes. … Continue reading Wellington Open 2016

Writing custom modules for Ansible Introduction What is Ansible and what is a module? If you are a big fan of automation , if you are focused on spreading and building software in line with DevOps culture, tools related with automation / configuration management like Chef or Ansible are probably well known to you. From the other hand that what differentiates those tools is a topic for a next blog post. Without diving into those diff....

Variations on a theme Back in 2014 I wrote a post called How to Conquer Tensorphobia that should end up on Math $ \cap$ Programming’s “greatest hits” album. One aspect of tensors I neglected to discuss was the connection between the modern views of tensors and the practical views of linear algebra. I feel I need to write this because every year or two I forget why it makes sense.

A common question I hear about Anvil is how to style views. Let’s recall how it’s been traditionally done in Android. Here’s an example from the Android Developers website:
|
|
Android is probably the second most popular development platform after the web. Web development practices tend to change every month if not every week. As soon as a tool or a library becomes mature and stable - they call it deprecated and seek for a new replacement. Now let’s see how Android development tools and paradigms have evolved over the past few years and how it compares to the web.

Yeah yeah, I know, the first day of Spring was one two three four days ago, these posts don’t write themselves (though with enough imagination, time, and Markov chains , they kinda could). This probably isn’t apparent for those of you in New England at the moment, but today is the first day of Spring. Well…it is in the United States at least, I don’t actually know how other countries/hemispheres do seasons. Climatic differe..

How can we organize the collaboration of more than a hundred developers on a wide range of topics? How could they decide about good practices in the company? Those are some questions that drove trivago to give it a try on a different structure: the guilds.
