Mocks are a great way of preventing AJAX calls in tests, but they can also help you isolate side effects and impurities that can create complicated tests. As you learned in Part 1 , mocks are a great way to handle external data or any data that is likely to change. Mocking external data will likely be your most common use case and for a good reason. You want your tests to stick as closely to your code as possible this includes all depend....

In our last blogposts about the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Introduction and NVIDIA Jetson Nano - Install Docker Compose we digged into the brand-new NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit and we know, that Docker 18.06.1-CE is already installed, but… But, this isn’t the latest available version of the Docker Engine. So, I’d like to point you to a few different options on how to upgrade the Docker Engine to the very latest avail....

What should be done for his disciples out of compassion by a Teacher who seeks their welfare and has compassion for them, that I have done for you, Ānanda. There are these roots of trees, these empty huts. Meditate, Ānanda, do not delay, or else you regret it later. This is our instruction to you.” Thus ends the Indriyabhāvanā Sutta (The Development of the Faculties), number 152 in the Majjhima Nikāya collection and in my opinion there real..

I can’t remember where on The Internet™ I originally saw it, but at some point in the past few months I came across an article about a woman selling her preposterously picturesque home in Canada for the low, low price of $19 and an essay of (at most) 350 words. The catch here (because houses usually cost more than nineteen dollars) is that you have to win the contest (i.e. have the bestest essay), and the woman running the contest nee..

Our hero, a mathematician, is writing notes in LaTeX and needs to convert it to a format that her blog platform accepts. She’s used to using dollar sign delimiters for math mode, but her blog requires \( \) and \[ \]. Find-and-replace fails because it doesn’t know about which dollar sign is the start and which is the end. She knows there’s some computer stuff out there that could help, but she doesn’t have the damn time to sort through it a..

Nathaniel Popper, writing for the New York Times, explains the extreme steps Jameson Lopp took to hide his personal information. An interesting piece, it reminded me of a great article Evan Ratlif wrote for Wired in 2009 titled Gone Forever: What Does It Take to Really Disappear? . I also rediscovered the interview with Matt Sheppard that Evan mentioned at the end of his article, as well as his follow-up piece where he attempted to di....

Drew DeVault on the dangers of using a virtual private network, or VPN: “[VPN providers] can identify you much more precisely because you used your VPN login to access the service. Additionally, they can promise not to siphon off your data and write it down somewhere — tracking you, selling it to advertisers, handing it over to law enforcement — but they could and you’d be none the wiser.” Anyone thinking of using a VPN should read ..

Let me introduce the brand new NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit , which is basically a quad-core 64bit ARM Cortex-A57 CPU with 128 GPU cores - suitable for all kinds of maker ideas: AI, Robotics, and of course for running Docker Containers… Unboxing Let’s unbox the board and do the initial configuration… When opening the box we’ll find the board itself and a short getting started flyer which heads us to the NVIDIA website htt....

I like cooking my own meals for the same reason I code : I get exactly what I want, without anything I don’t, and I know every little detail about the “ingredients” that go into my projects. It takes some time, effort, and expertise, but the benefits far outweigh the minor drawbacks. Permalink.

Matt Reyer talks about turning his web front-end into a much lighter client. I have done this for years with my own projects, cutting out external libraries and even non-essential Javascript and CSS until I had as minimal an application as possible. This is a growing trend . My desire to avoid unnecessary complexity and code dependence drove the development of First Crack , the blogging engine behind this site. In the same vein, check out..

Introduction In my first post on Goroutine Leaks , I mentioned that concurrency is a useful tool but it comes with certain traps that don’t exist in synchronous programs. To continue with this theme, I will introduce a new trap called incomplete work. Incomplete work occurs when a program terminates before outstanding Goroutines (non-main goroutines) complete. Depending on the nature of the Goroutine that is being terminated forcefully, t..

Do you have an overall goal for your life? Maybe it’s simply to enjoy life, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Personally, I have two goals in life. The first is to be a father. The second is to make a difference in the world for the better.

Nicholas Weaver on the technical challenges to calling Huawei “safe”, and why that might not matter: “...the code that Huawei uses, like so much of the rest of the code running the world, is simply a nightmare: It is complex, written in an ‘unsafe’ manner, using ‘unsafe’ languages. The scale and complexity make it impossible to analyze the code to look for new bugs, let alone efforts at sabotage. ... [and] the dirty secret is that most ..

I have an article in the works on a similar topic, but I wanted to take a minute to highlight this piece by one of my favorite new writers, Blair Reeves , before I reference it there.

1500 words, 6 minutes. “For the sake of brevity, we will always represent this number by the letter e” - Leonhard Euler, Mechanica. 1736. Illustration Pub. 1881. What if you could understand and explain any breach 10x faster? Security breaches are a staple of mainstream news. In the past, details only emerged through technical analysis, research papers, and the forensic review of press releases. Occasionally we’d be gifted with a customer l..

I send way too many emails in a day. My inbox is very intermingled with my to do list and often represents some form of it. More relevant though is that email is a primary means of how I accomplish work. Being a PM I work cross functionally with other teams (from marketing, to engineering, to sales, to BD, to other product teams) and of course customers. Having to work so cross functionality I’ve found a lot of hacks I use to be able to bet....

I liked this article for its breakdown of East versus West Coast off-road routes, and even more so because Mercedes Lilienthal also gives her eastern seaboard readers some actual destinations to check out. I can tackle the Georgia Traverse in a weekend, and a few of the other trails she mentioned over a long weekend. I look forward to heading out there soon. Permalink.

Recently my job/career path has had me looking “under the hood” at clients development practices. The idea being to see where their strengths and weaknesses are and then make actionable suggestions. Generally every client wants the same outcome. They want to know how to improve software quality and deliver features faster. When doing this I focus on the development side, but honestly a lot of this applies to DevOp’s as well. In most..
