Sharing code from Private libraries is a difficult task. In this post we will see how we can use BitBucket as Private Maven Repository.

Testing your functionality is important, but what happens if other factors come into play? In this blog post we show how trivago handles non-functional testing for every commit and how we scaled it.

We’ve been approached by many customers asking for help in creating hundreds of orgs, many times with identical configurations such as license policies that are shared throughout the company. Setting up integrations and license policies for each org can be time consuming, so we focused on how we could speed up that flow.

Breadth-first search is a great elementary algorithm for searching graphs. In lots of scenarios, BFS will be sufficient to visit all of the vertices in a graph. In others, it’s very important that you choose the right algorith. Today we’ll be exploring depth-first search (DFS), a very similar algorithm that also explores all vertices by walking down neighboring edges, the difference is in the order in which those vertices are explored.

I’m going to feel like an old man for this post, but if you were born post 1995, it is likely that you have no idea what I’m talking about in this post, crazy as this sounds to me. Before there was a phone in every pocket, there were land lines. It is like today’s phone, but much larger, you could only do voice calls and if you wanted to screen your calls you needed to buy another appliance. If you’ll watch the first few sessions of Frien....


The Oracle SQL Developer team has released version 18.3 of this tool. My favorite new feature in this version is its ability to save SQL Monitoring reports in HTML format! Adobe Flash is finally not needed for sharing graphical SQL Monitoring reports. Here’s an example output, it looks pretty nice and clean: The report is reasonably navigatable, has tooltips (useful for identifying wait classes for example) and you can also rearr..

I am pleased to announce: Of the Flesh but not the World... A show of nine works in a small gallery space at the Feinberg School of Medicine at the Northwestern University Prosthetics-Orthotics Center (NUPOC). The works include four paintings made from life at NUPOC over the course of the last few months. There are also paintings and drawings done from life at the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art .

I have an old Couchbase 4.5.x cluster, and I thought it would be nice to upgrade it. These are my notes and the tests I did before doing it “in production”™️.

On the ballot in Ohio this November is the controversial Issue 1. Ohio Issue 1 is the Drug and Criminal Justice Policies Initiative which, according to the text on the ballot, is intended “to reduce penalties for crimes of obtaining, possessing, and using illegal drugs.”

Dead code (as in functions that are not used anywhere) tends to pile up in big projects if you leave them unattended. Using one of Xref’s most underrated features, you will be able to detect and remove what you do not need anymore. 10-15 minute read We have already written several articles in this blog explaining how we use Erlang/OTP extensively to build our real-time bidding platform servers, among other things. These systems a....

I believe one of the most, if not the most, important applications of blockchain and smart contact technology will be the establishment of self-sufficient organizations that are completely virtual: They will use virtual currencies like Ether and ERC-20 tokens to handle all transfers & storage of value. Their collaboration & making of crucial decisions will be handled by smart contacts. Their members will consist of pseudo-anonymous indivi..

In Ruby, objects have a handy method called method_missing which allows one to handle method calls for methods that have not been defined. Most examples out there explain how to implement this in Python using __getattr__, however, none of them (honestly, none) explain how to intercept class method (@classmethod) invocations using __metaclass__. And this is […]

I was recently involved in troubleshooting an interesting performance issue with some non-intuitive background process & wait event behavior. I reproduced the problem in my own custom-tailored environment (Oracle 18.3 on Linux), here’s the starting point: After starting a transaction-heavy benchmark, soon after the transaction rate drops and the database sessions are mostly waiting for some Configuration wait class events, instead ..

Today in my proofs class (MATH 290 at BYU) we talked about the concept induction . I like this, because it sounds a lot like recursion. On the Wikipedia article, there’s an excerpt from a book that illustrates the principle with an analogy using a ladder: Mathematical induction proves that we can climb as high as we like on a ladder, by proving that we can climb onto the bottom rung (the basis) and that from each rung we can climb up....

As a software engineering executive from Colombia, I thought that the best way to honor Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) was to help the local Girl Scout Hispanic troops earn one of the new cybersecurity badges. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, having the activities nearing October seemed very fitting. Girl Scouts has been focusing on STEM badges for all ages with several new initiatives in the past couple of years..

Now that September is over, it’s time to take a look at my Robinhood account and check on its performance. For those that are new to my blog, I’ve been making these monthly updates since my first full month of buying stocks on Robinhood in June of this year . That means this is the fourth post in the series.

In the last article we introduced the next section in our series: graphs. Graphs are super important because essentially every major problem involved on the web can be represented as a graph. Now that we know what kinds of graphs there are and what data structures we can use to represent them, it’s time to start traversing them so we can discover every vertex and edge in a graph.

I just had a discussion with a colleague about a fix of non trivial code. The question was what comments should go into the code to explain what was going on.  If you care to know, this related to the prefetching strategy that is used by RavenDB to reduce the amount of I/O that is required (especially on slow disks). The details don’t actually matter. The problem is that there are multiple relatively complex issues there, from managing I/O ....

I like PFsense . It's achieved the goal of being a good firewall, allowing complex rules, without being too much of a pain to manage. However, being a firewall, it does live it's life on the edge exposed to miscreants and users alike, so I like to make sure the configuration is automatically backed up (pulling into a git repo also means you can receive notifications when the config changes) There isn't an easy and direct route to remot..

What happens when a browser loads a page? Do you know how the internals of browsers work to turn the JavaScript code you write into something usable by your computer? What happens if you want to run that same JavaScript code on your laptop instead of the browser?


I have spent a good portion of my evenings during the last two weeks working with a piece of community software called Discourse.
