Hackathons! That’s where you feel super excited about creating something interesting, or useful, or just entertaining. They are a great way to encourage creativity and teamwork. Recently, trivago hosted a Python Hackathon in collaboration with the Python Usergroup Düsseldorf. The event was a full success!

It's the end of 2017 and right now there's a huge amount of interest in buying [insert any crypto currency coin here]. Everyone wants to buy everything, and as a result we're very much in a bull market at the moment.

Yet another income report. Well, for this blog, it’s only the second one - my previous one was last year’s end-of-year income report . Income reports still seem to be a popular topic in the blogosphere, although most who do income reports do monthly income reports rather than yearly income reports.

The Competition Part of Cerner’s engineering culture is to celebrate technology. This past fall, we had our annual celebration for Programmers’ Day. We celebrated the day with great food (taco bar and ice cream) and an evening of trivia.

One day, Memcached ran out of free memory. The method `get` failed and all requests went directly to the database. Of course these calls also failed under the huge load, and eventually it caused downtime for the whole trivago website. Yikes!

In this post, I want to share with you a strategy intended to improve your system’s extensibility — in other words, making your business better able to cope with future change. Of course, not everyone sees the world with the same eyes, so if you disagree with something, please share your thoughts — it will be appreciated.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, happy new year to all. All of us here at Codename One hope you have a lovely vacation if you are taking one. As I mentioned before we are still working but only partially due to the holidays. We still got a lot of things out and have a lot more coming up. I will blog more about it in January. In the meantime, I’ll leave another teaser for my current project…

Another one of those things I need to look up every now and then. Below is a snippet of how to encrypt and decrypt a string using Python and KMS in AWS. The interesting thing is that you don’t need to supply the KMS key alias in the decryption portion. So long as whatever role or key you are using can access the key it should work. For the encryption you can either supply the full ARN of the key or the alias so long as you prefix it with al..

Financial Services firms continue to see regulatory obligations as a cost of doing business and rely on short term fixes to meet them. This approach will be inadequate when faced with complex regulations, nested organizational structures and sophisticated fraud patterns. Compliance organizations are currently spending 90% of their time collecting and massaging information and only 10% reacting to events and crafting policies.

UPDATE: I’m leaving this series up for historical purposes, but please note that I no longer recommend Ubuntu Core or snaps for use in robotics. Some time ago I created a blog/video series that walked the reader through creating a prototype using the Robot Operating System (ROS) and taking it to production using Ubuntu Core. However, that series was intended more for robotics professionals; it assumed quite a bit of ROS knowledge, and requi..

I found converting from many representations of essentially the same data really inconsistent and hard to memorize in rust. I was doing a lot of work that frequently switched between text and binary and couldn't find a good quick reference cheat sheet, so I sat down to pair with Jared McDonald at Recurse Center and code one up. Whether you've got some bytes, chars, Strings, strs, arrays, or vecs, we'll get you from A to B! use std::str....

This post is kind of like “part two” on my series on all the weird things I do for my personal infrastructure. If you missed “part one”, you should check out Home Lab is the Dopest Lab . I run a lot of little things to make my life easier, like a CI, some bots, and a bunch of services just for the lolz. This post will go over all of those. These run scattered across my NUCs and the cloud. Let’s start with the most useful. Continuous I....

You might have heard the term type erasure. You might have even used type-erased types in the standard library, such as AnySequence. But what exactly is type erasure and how do you do it yourself? In this article, I'll explore type erasure, why you'd want it, and how to make it happen, a topic suggested by Lorenzo Boaro. (Read More)
