About a week ago an instructor at university was asking why most students did not try the step-by-step tutorials at home, or why they didn't at least read it. He then started a speech, trying to understand us and saying that we would not be able to enter the work world easily with this mindset, and asking students what they thought of it.

Honeypots are rad. Their uses are varied, but I've used my own mostly for research (and entertainment.) It's been running for over a year now, and I thought it would be worthwhile (and interesting) to summarize my findings. This honeypot is running on one of my non-critical servers with relatively minimal exposure, so the findings contained herein could be considered a good snapshot of internet background noise – no particular reason ....

Apple just announced they will mandate 64 bit for all new submissions starting February 2015, luckily we are very prepared for that and we already support 64 bit builds in our new VM. This is a huge triumph for the architecture of our new VM which is very resilient to changes Apple might make in the future thanks to its pure C architecture. Our old XMLVM based approach is limited in that regard since it relies on the Boehm garbage collect..

I had an itch to scratch , and I wanted to get a bit more familiar with Openshift . I had used it in the past, but it was time to have another go. The app and the code are now available. Feel free to check out: https://pdfdoc-purpleidea.rhcloud.com/ This is a simple app that takes the URL of a markdown file on GitHub, and outputs a pandoc converted PDF. I wanted to use pandoc specifically, because it produces PDF's that were b..

Just a quick update this week to confirm that I am in fact alive. The iOS contract game is just about done. I'm pretty happy with it. Now it's back to work on Lemma: I'll be running a booth, speaking, and participating in a panel at the Ohio Game Dev Expo next weekend! Come on out and hang with us!

Most (all?) programming languages write assignment with the destination variable on the left hand side, i.e. a = b+c;
Therefore most (all?) programmers are familiar with the destination for an operation being on the left hand side. Therefore, I think, when designing functions or commands doing copying or assignment, the result should also be on the left hand side. Example: memcpy in C. Counter-example (which confuses me): Array.cop..

Wow! I love your app because I start out completely useless. I’m fumbling up this learning curve and I have no idea what I’ll be able to do once I spend the time to master it! — no user ever Start your users with this feeling: Credit: reddit …before you start them at level 1:

How to Implement Hypothesis-Driven Development | Thoughtworks

Practicing Hypothesis-Driven Development is thinking about the development of new ideas, products and services – even organizational change – as a series of experiments to determine whether an expected outcome will be achieved. The process is iterated upon until a desirable outcome is obtained or the idea is determined to be not viable.

We last explained some of the concepts behind the EDT in 2008 so it’s high time we wrote about it again, there is a section about it in the developer guide as well as in the courses on Udemy but since this is the most important thing to understand in Codename One it bears repeating. One of the nice things about the EDT is that many of the concepts within it are similar to the concepts in pretty much every other GUI environment (Swing/FX, ..

Aggregating Apache logs with Fluentd and Amazon S3

HackerEarth infrastructure is hosted on Amazon services. At any given point of time many webservers are running concurrently serving thousands of requests. This generates tons of access and error logs on each server separately. The task here was to parse the logs on all these webservers and store them at one place in a format that can further be used to derive meaningful insights from the data. We tried to accomplish this using fluentd and....

https://github.com/SonOfLilit/quickbmc/archive/gh-pages.zip To change it into your own, you will need to edit the .html file with a text editor like Notepad++. It's not complicated - just look for text you see in the rendered version (when you open it in the browser) and you'll know where you need to make changes.

Hello , I noticed you used a template for your previous business model canvas . Would you mind sharing that template with me ?

I’ve written about snail breeding here before, at length. However, since I now want snail behavior to go through the brain I had to rework the trigger that led to two snails mating and producing offspring. A few different things had to be prototyped to make this work, especially because in a snail’s mind there is no real way of distinguishing food from another snail without learning from experience and some basic instincts to guide the way.

UPDATE : I created a gem to cover the functionality of this post. Visit its homepage here . I was working on my application and I wanted to write some RSpec tests for some controllers having before_filter for some actions. I didn’t want to explicitly test the behaviour of the filter since it was already tested in another context. I only wanted to test that it is being executed. Let’s assume that this is our controller: class Fo....
