While working on any large-ish Django project you are bound to come across a slow query that’s perhaps missing an index or doing something else expensive. My workflow for diagnosing this was to get the query that is being executed ( str(queryset.query) ) and paste it into a database shell, prefixing...

It’s true you can crash an email server with a single email! This guest blog post talks about a vulnerability found in the top five Node mail parsers that will bring each of them down just by clicking send. Joran Greef explains how he found the vulnerability while he was writing his own mail parser and how he disclosed via Snyk’s security team.

1000 words, 4 minutes. “But how was one to explain repeated instances of derisive laughter at melodramas and films that hardly set out to be funny?" - Prof. Eric Rentschler1 Out of place laughter is an anarchist in the dark. Someone who refuses to let the film cast its spell. Imagery is important. Moving or still. Whether it be religious iconography, depictions of national myth, a coat of arms, a rallying military standard, your company’s..

When a candidate sends a CV and includes a GitHub profiler, that almost always guarantees that I’ll give that profile a look. The most interesting thing from my perspective in a GitHub profile is that it allows me to look at the candidate’s work. There aren’t that many candidates with GitHub profile links, and not having a link isn’t something that will cause me to rule out a candidate. But I thought it would be interesting to share some ....

Over the weekend I got the chance to speak at the inaugural Carolina Code Conf in Greenville, SC. It's the upstate polyglot conference where just about any relevant subject is welcome, so I submitted a talk on Elixir. I also gave a lightning talk on DMARC thanks to our wonderful sponsor, dmarcian.

Last week, my friend Scott Elliott did a great guest presentation at the college where he talked about, amongst other things, devops. Moreover, I’ve been involved myself in the setup and configuration of two software development workflows (which technically makes me a devop); one was in 2017 for a tech startup in Kitchener, and the other one was earlier this year for a much larger project at the University of Waterloo.

I just got a CV from a candidate looking for a junior position. I looked at the CV (and oh my God, did this guy have a lot of acronyms in there). I noted that he has a GitHub account in the CV, so naturally I checked it. There is a single repository there, which I’ll present to you in all its glory: This is actually a negative . If he didn’t have a GitHub account, I wouldn’t have minded. But including one that is in this shape is n..

It recently came to my attention that John McAfee has been advertising a cryptocurrency hardware wallet from a company called Bitfi , with the claim that it is “unhackable”. There’s even a $250,000 bounty to hack it. I do not have one of the actual devices in my possession, but from my review of the publicly available “ source code ” [PDF] and their private key calculator , my conclusion is that their product is most charitably desc..

The gathering was part of SF Python Groups monthly Project Night event which is held ever....

Sometimes, an important team that’s part of an otherwise healthy company culture starts tanking and the people on the team get frustrated and even quit. In this article, I want to share what I learned when I started to manage a team — referred to as the R Team from here on out — that had huge problems when I took over as Engineering Manager, as well as explain how I got it back on track.

Mbsync and mu4e are great for syncing and handling IMAP email. I've now migrated 4 email addresses, including an old Yahoo account. I wanted to mark all my Yahoo unread emails as read. Yahoo's webmail enables marking 500 emails at a time, making the process a little tedious. Mu-discuss has a handy thread , highlighting that moving/renaming synced messages (in your local file system) would do the job. This worked well for me. Let..

Email delivery providers such as Mandrill, Mailgun, SendGrid, AWS SES etc. all provide proprietary APIs and SDKs to send email over their service. These APIs are different from one email provider to the next. However all these services also allow you to send email via the industry-standard SMTP. All email delivery providers encourage you to use their own API. Sometimes they don’t really indicate strongly that there is any alternative to u..

Over at Math3ma, Tai-Danae Bradley shared the following puzzle, which she also featured in a fantastic (spoiler-free) YouTube video. If you’re seeing this for the first time, watch the video first. Consider a square in the xy-plane, and let A (an “assassin”) and T (a “target”) be two arbitrary-but-fixed points within the square. Suppose that the square behaves like a billiard table, so that any ray (a.k.a “shot”) from the assassin will boun..

In May I had the opportunity to present at the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) Conference after spending some time cross referencing the APWG's eCrime Exchange data with dmarcian's historic DMARC reports to see if we could identify consistent patterns among known bad actors, as well as potentially identifying a wider scope to the attacks that any single entity could see. The results were interesting!
