Or: World Wide Web for a collaborative economy 1. Intro Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are organizations where members collaborate through a smart contract enabled blockchain. Compared to traditional organizations, DAOs are much cheaper to create, their immutability and transparency makes them more trustworthy, and their programmability enables a wide variety of features. It is possible that DAOs are the next evolut..

Experts say cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin, Monero, and Ethereum) will be the protagonists of the future decentralized and distributed economic system. If this is true then one of the most debated topics in the field of cryptocurrency, how to verify payments while spending as little as possible in terms of resources, is especially important for cryptosecurity. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

WeBull is a zero-commission brokerage app - a competitor to Robinhood . One of the things that sets WeBull apart from Robinhood is the ability to paper trade.

Snyk’s goal is to help you use open source in a secure way. Vulnerabilities are one indicator that a dependency is unhealthy, but there are other risk factors at play as well. For that reason, we have a whole team working on making Snyk the go-to destination for information about your dependencies – from Security to License information, and now to Health.

When working with a traditional database inside of a monolith application, we don't usually need to think too much about how transactions…

One of FIRST’s initiatives is a Special Interest Group (SIG) that is responsible for developing and maintaining the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) specification in an effort to help teams understand and prioritize the severity of a security vulnerability.

I fancy myself a technical guy. I got into web development at a young age, learned to write Python, Perl, C, and a handful of other languages in high school, and got a degree in Computer Science in college. Although I work in an organization not known for its technical prowess, it has worked hard to change that: today, Army Cyber matches industry on the defensive side, and — by law — has far more experience on the offense. I bring all this ..

Suppose you have a text file and you need to remove all of its duplicate lines. TL;DR To remove the duplicate lines preserving their order in the file use: awk '!visited[$0]++' your_file > deduplicated_file How it works The script keeps an associative array with indices equal to the unique lines of the file and values equal to their occurrences. For each line of the file, if the line occurrences are zero then it increas....

The matter of time() - serce.me - 7 years ago - eng
This article explores the different ways to obtain the current time in programs and the potential consequences of incorrect usage, as our intuitions and expectations of time from these clocks may lead to misleading results or catastrophic failures.

I wanted to set up a high available nats-streaming-server cluster, but couldn’t find a “quick” guide on how to do it.

This post discusses the CRLF injection vulnerability recently discovered in a popular Python library and provides guidance on how you can protect your Python project.

Vim Tricks - www.256kilobytes.com - 7 years ago - eng
I try to keep my machine as close to stock as possible. This makes setup a breeze, helps it stay fast, and means I have less to check when something goes wrong. Although I have gotten away from that , I have plans to re-work my setup soon. I appreciate posts like this one , from August Garcia at 256 Kilobytes, that remind me of these powerful built-in tools, and that I may not need a bunch of flashy third-party apps after all. Permalin..

Can I get an encore, do you want more” - Jay-Z I recently read Ben Horowitz’s book, The Hard Thing about Hard Things . It’s really eye opening and creates a level of empathy in the reader for leaders that make hard decisions every day. It covers everything from how to know your company is toxic to how to do layoffs. Ben starts each chapter with a rap quote so as did I above ;) obviously I chose Jay-Z but I also love Tupac, as is shown....

For almost 20 years I’ve been generating books with various pieces of software. I’ve published most of these as short run paperback books as Intermedia Writing Systems, a very small press in Iowa City. From Babble! to Open Wound, it’s been fun to see the mangled hodge·podge of text in these books. In February of […]

My Evening Reads - zacs.site - 7 years ago - eng
I follow a lot of websites. In Keeping Up with Current Events , I list the handful I use to start my day. These get regular updates and help me stay up on current events. I also follow a lot of websites run by independent writers and small shops. These cover many of the same topics, but due to their size, they do not get updated as often. The unique perspective they bring to the table, though, makes for some of the most interesting readi..

Google AdSense. It seems like Google's AdSense advertising platform is the default mechanism that bloggers use to make money from their sites. It's an easy system to get into, but that is also a considerable part of the problem. It's too easy. Today, we're going to talk about some AdSense alternatives.

Many have explained  — in great detail  — the dangers of Huawei in the West. They focus on the chance of a hidden vulnerability in those devices, but ommit the fact that even top-tier Western devices have security flaws. This ommission implies that the decision comes down to accepting significant risk by adopting Huawei, in exchange for 5G, or accepting zero risk by shopping elsewhere. As this story demonstrates, though, Western tech ma..

We’re launching a new JVM Ecosystem Survey for 2019. The goal of this survey is to understand the lay of the land across the entire JVM ecosystem, and Java in particular.

I have always admired the well-informed. Their ability to speak on complex topics, to make thought-provoking points about things of which I know little, impresses me. This happened again a few months ago, with a retired Army Colonel whose knowledge of the American Revolution, the geopolitical landscape, and war floored me. I absorbed all I could from him. He also made me realize that I needed to do a much better job of educating myself and ..

In this post we'll explore what tail calls are, why they are useful, and how they can be eliminated in an interpreter, a compiler targeting C++, and a compiler targeting LLVM IR. Tail calls A tail call is a function call made at the end of a block that returns the value of the call (some languages do not force this return requirement). Here are a few examples. function tailCallEx1 () { // Loops forever but is a tail cal....

The idea of this project is to image the refractometer output, then convert the position of the blue line, to a digital reading, using image processing. The idea is to measure the brix of wort during mash and sparging, so that sparging can be stopped around 1.010 SG, to avoid tannins. It was necessary to […]

Nicholas Diakopoulos, at the Columbia Journalism Review, wrote a fascinating piece on Google’s growing influence over the news and its bias for left-leaning sources: “The data shows that just 20 news sources account for more than half of article impressions. The top 20 percent of sources (136 of 678) accounted for 86 percent of article impressions.” And then, later: “Our data shows that 62.4 percent of article impressions were f..

In an article I will post soon, I mention the difference between smart and intelligent people. I have seen this explained in more ways than I can count, but none the way I define it. Rather than burying this in an already long piece, I want to talk about it here so that I can flesh it out and then cite it later. Permalink.

In sum, then, God forbids any attempt to take the goods of others for ourselves, and thus commands us to faithfully preserve for others their property. We must judge that whatever a person possesses has not come to him by accident but through the provision of God, and that to deprive him of his wealth is thus to sin against God’s dispensation.” — John Calvin, The Institutes of the Christian Religion , (Edinburgh, UK: Banner of Truth, ..

One of the things I enjoy the most about coding is discovering patterns. Being aware and mindful of the patterns emerging in your codebase can make it easier to keep that codebase consistent, readable and easy to navigate. Most patterns will remain unspoken, and some, that prove notably elegant, are named and promoted as best practices. Others might even be candidates for a basis of a new abstraction, although I recommend restraint as it’s ....

WebAssembly is getting more popular than ever. The use of WebAssembly outside the confinement of a web browser also starts to gain traction, as evidenced from projects such as WebAssembly Interface. Understanding the memory model of WebAssembly will be important in order to fully comprehend its power as well as its constraints.

Matthew Ström, design lead at Bit.ly, is also picking up the torch and warning about in-product messaging (aka what a lot of people think about when they thing about user onboarding).

At Jane Street, for the last several years, we have been increasingly interested in machine learning and its many use cases. This is why it was exciting when earlier this year myself and a few of my colleagues had the opportunity to attend the AAAI 2019 conference. We’d like to take this space to share with you some of the interesting projects and themes we saw at the conference.

It's easy to get lost in metrics. You've got A/B tests, time series tests, keyword tests, every kind of test you can think of. You're measuring engagement, clickthrough, funnel progress, time-on-site, everything. But do you really know who your customers actually are? Do you really care?

The short answer is : you don’t. There is no such thing as “staying” motivated. Instead you need to cultivate necessity. Necessity You know this feeling you get when you’re getting dangerously close to a deadline. Like you have to get that shit done. Now. Err.. actually yesterday, but yeah, now. And you get full power into your essay/project/report. That feel like motivation, right? So now the question is more how do I stay motivated all th..
