Change format of your standup to make people pay attention who is talking. A person starts daily standup, it usually is the scrum master or team leader. They pass the ball and another person who starts talking. You count on people to volunteer and start talking what they are working on. It creates a blocking queue, it’s easy to be distracted and stop paying attention to what’s going on. Nominate next person You can simply make the daily sta..

It is often misunderstood what purpose standup questions serve. Most likely you’re familiar with the following questions: What did you do yesterday? What are you planning to do today? Do you have any blockers? These questions make you answer what you are doing, they are misaligned with purpose of “the standup questions”, tracking progress and delivering product value. In Scrum we do “Sprint Planning” where a team specifies a goal for the up..

Every now and then teams get work they don’t want to do for whatever reason: It would be wiser to pay off tech debt before starting the new work Another tech-stack is more suited for the work, but pipeline doesn’t support the tech yet There isn’t much dev-work, but turns out regression testing is massive and one (of three) tester is on holiday and second called in sick Wild card idea A team gets 1 or 2 wild cards per year.

Welcome to Malware Developement General. Where we discuss how malware is developed, groups that develope it, and techniques used by common actors such as obfuscation, hiding, etc. Also what programming languages are typically used. Malware reversing, AV, and other defense-oriented topics are not the focus, though are very welcome. I would have posted this on /λ/, but seeing as it's focused on security, I figured it would be better to po..

Introduction This is a companion blog my sixth Functional Justin YouTube video which you can find here: https://youtu.be/3GPXEzO14ZE In the video I talked about the Functor Laws and continued working on the example program that evaluates arithmetic expressions. I use Monad, then Applicative, to show how we can make a Numeric instance for Either, so we can handle errors in a nice functional way. Since the episode I spent a bit ....

This year I’d like to play around with music. Mostly live looping. Live looping is a pretty specific way of making music. It’s about recording short, simple music clips and overlaying those to create more complex and interesting music. A recent googling session took me to OpenAV ’s website. It’s Harry Van Haaren’s initiative. He’s focusing on making open source application’s for live music performances. You can find the apps’ code on hi..

Salutations! Welcome to my personal blog. My name is Bartlomiej Mika, I am a technical consultant at Mika Software Corporation. This blog began in 2020 primarily as an outlet for technical, programming-related posts. I want to a place to document some of the things I am learning and release it to the public in hopes to save someone else the time. What sort of topics should you expect?

Links in web applications can be Relative links like , or Absolute links like . If you’re writing a web application, relative links are generally the way to go. It’s simpler to move the application to a new domain. In addition, for those counting bytes, relative links are shorter. However, sometimes, absolute links cannot be avoided: If you need to redirect to another page, it wa..

Yes, modern web development is complex. Frameworks change each other, cognitive load increases, hype-driven development introduces new risks that lead to “the Big Rewrite”, which at the end rarely goes well. But does it have to be this way? Looking back, we may notice that the websites written in plain HTML+CSS still open and work perfectly. Boring technologies survive. Similarly, web services built with a dull tech stack are surprisingly r..

Introduction Link to heading Photos are pervasive nowadays. My children have had cameras in their faces from the moment they were born. Literally. And they struggle to understand how their parents could go for a year or more without a single photo having been taken of them. In some ways the profusion of photos is a positive thing. It is always a delight to see how much pleasure many of the elderly get from simply looking throu..

Do I need the cloud connectivity on my kindle everywhere I go? Probably not. A few years ago I received an old Kindle 3g Paperwhite 2 (2013) 6th from my mother. She wasn't a fan of the screen and decided she preferred a full tablet for reading while I quickly fell in love with the e-ink screen. However my use-case involves mainly e-novels/websites I scrape and upload via Calibre. Given how privacy conscious I have become, and how much....

Fast implementation of the moving quantile based on the partitioning heaps, Part 2

Update: the latest version of this approach is presented in [[partitioning-heaps-quantile-estimator3]]. In one of the previous posts, I have discussed the Hardle-Steiger method. This algorithm allows estimating the moving median using $O(L)$ memory and $O(log(L))$ element processing complexity (where $L$ is the window size). Also, I have shown how to adapt this approach to estimate any moving quantile. In this post, I’m going to ....

Aerialoop is a delivery company taking delivery to the next level by using drones to drastically reduce delivery times across the city. Within the city of Quito, it takes roughly 45 minutes to drive from one side to the other, but just 7 minutes to fly -- over a 5x reduction in delivery time. During the pandemic, Aerialoop has also been delivering groceries to local restaurants and COVID-19 medical supplies from the local hospital, Hospital..

In my previous post , I talked about Self and gave a general tour of the language and the programming environment. I mentioned that Self was an image-based programming language. Of course, if you want to develop a Self application with multiple people, an image is not suitable for collaborating (except in real-time – we’ll come back to that in a later post). Your Self image contains everything in your programming environment (provided you ..
