This is a guest post from Doug Durham. Enjoy. Dear new developer, It’s very easy to throw terms around in our (or any) industry. In our hurried culture, we latch onto words or phrases that may not fully encapsulate their original intent. I’m afraid that is what has happened to the label of “software engineer”. … Continue reading What We Mean When We Say “Software Engineer” →

A customer called us, quite upset, because their RavenDB cluster was failing every few minutes. That was weird, because they were running on our cloud offering, so we had full access to the metrics, and we saw absolutely no problem on our end. During the call, it turned out that every now and then, but almost always immediately after a new deployment, RavenDB would fail some requests. On a fairly consistent basis, we could see two failure....

Über drei Jahre war das unser Backendteam. Die anderen Teams waren größer. Wir hatten bis zu 8 Frontendentwickler, ähnlich viele Artists, zwei Gamedesigner, Productowner, Productmanager und 2 Testautomatisierer. Und selbst, dass wir nur zu ..

Recently a well known participant in the dutch energy debate, lector Martien Visser, wrote tweets and a column setting out his view that the current day ahead market design is not a good business case for NL anymore. He is not the only one, this sentiment is widespread on social media. While I do agree that in a RES dominated system it could be possible to have a better tweaked market mechanism, I disagree that the current one is a very..

I recently read a post from vercel about porting turborepo to rust . In that post, they mention calling a go binary from the rust code instead of having to deal with FFI and C type compatibility. I wrote a post called “ Use a subprocess instead of a dependency ”, which follows a similar philosophy, although applied to something different. Here are some extra notes related to the vercel post. As an example, I’ll use a Python app that want..

I hate hackerrank and geeksforgeeks. They're filled with corporate climbing weirdos trying to get a high score for HR and tons of people who google the answers and solve them. I just can't stand these sorts of people aside from their obvious social damage I just plain don't like them. I'd much prefer a site where people don't have a lot of ego or career goals involved and just want to solve problems... or even get stumped. I used to..

macOS AirPlay Receiver now listens on port 5000 by default, which conflicts with the default port used by some frameworks (like Flask). This may cause some confusion if you’re trying to forward port 5000 from a different VM machine and you don’t see anything in your browser. To fix it, you need to uncheck the option in System Preferences -> Sharing -> AirPlay Receiver. Then it works again, otherwise, if you try to make something listen on..

Why is my site’s markup polygot XHTML5? I have had to deal with some really awful user-agents: Bespoke markup parsers in RSS readers. Link previews in obscure messaging apps. A reader-mode bookmarklet-turned-browser-extension that hasn’t been updated in twelve years. Various search engines trying to parse the page without using a compliant parser. Most of my issues were solved by running my generated markup through both xmllint (XML syn..

I was wondering: how often do nanosecond timestamps collide on modern systems? The answer is: very often, like 5% of all samples, when reading the clock on all 4 physical cores at the same time. As a result, I think it is unsafe to assume that a raw nanosecond timestamp is a unique identifier. I wrote a small test program to test this. I used Go, which records both the "absolute" time and the "monotonic clock" relative time on each call....

Summary Subdomain reuse, also known as subdomain takeover, is a security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker claims and takes control of a target domain. Typically, this happens when an application is deprecated and an attacker directs residual traffic to a host that they control.
