It’s the twentieth. I may not have been making as many of my non-regular posts, but I’m going to be consistent with my regular posts. Including this month’s blog status report.

The internet brings with it technological advancements that reminds us of dystopia that sci-fi writers have written about. So let's go beyond what we've tackled so far and project ourselves in hypothetical futures to posit bigger consequences. The two archetypical stories of dystopian futures are Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell.

Code Dx 5.3 now includes a connector with Snyk, giving customers visibility to open source dependencies, license issues, and container vulnerability management.

I was first exposed to this idea at The Business of Software conference in 2017. Joanna Wiebe gave a talk about copywriting for SaaS businesses. She's an advertising copy writer, and the talk is mostly about that. It's worth watching the whole thing, but near the end, she said something that astonished me.

Tools I use - prepend.com - 5 years ago - eng
Thought it would be helpful to describe the various tools and things I use on a day to day basis. Inspired by Stephen Musoke Senkomago who was inspired by Wes Bos’ Uses . These are the tools I use for my personal, teaching, and side projects. Why is this helpful? The older I get the more I wonder if I’m getting out of touch with technology and just using what I know, versus detecting new things to try and use. There’s so much out there....

Consider the 10x10 grids of green and white boxes below. How would you make them symmetrical? Most people would add green boxes to the emptier half of the grid rather than remove them from the fuller half. Even when the latter would have been more efficient . The case, along with a similar problem revolving around the stability of a peculiar lego structure, is reported by an intriguing Nature article on the topic of psychology and h..

Nobody likes to be put in a box, nobody likes to be paralyzed. In a world where the individual is put first, we want to feel in control. Yet, we are lost in a whirlpool of chaotic and clashing ideologies, memeplexes and absolutist templates. Who are we, how should we define ourselves? This makes us distrust any form of authority and renounce classical forms of media. As individuals, we're looking for authenticity, whatever form it can take ....

I got interested in telephones and the Voice Over IP (VOIP) scene soon after reading Phil Lapsley’s Exploding the phone (2013). According to the book, there is a whole underground of VOIP hackers. I had not come across them while lurking in the information security scene. After my interest sparked, I started paying more attention to telephone-related security research. The podcast Darknet Diaries by Jack Rhysider has a great first episode c..

The name SQLite is a nice name, but the “lite” part is misleading, it sounds like it is only useful for tiny things - which is very wrong. SQLite should be named AwesomeSQL, because that is what it is. SQLite is probably the only database you will ever need in most cases Yeah. This article resonates with me. SQLite is the de-facto standard engine for embedded systems. But it should also be the go-to database for all those websites and ..

This article will show how to run a simple language model, KenLM. It’s not as powerful as transformer-based models like BERT or GPT-3, but depending on what you’re trying to accomplish it may be more than enough. This tutorial should take you about 15 minutes, including the time to run the scripts. Let’s work backwards from where we’re trying to get to. When you’ve finished, you should be able to run the following script:

Update: I’ve amended this post with a valid reason to use the header. More info at the bottom. This post was written in a hurry in response to some misinformation about Google’s newest Web antifeature, Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). Google’s FLoC is an attempt to track users even when their browsers (rightly) block third-party cookies. The initial blog posts about this issue were quite benign, but online discussions quickly devo....

I remember the first mobile phone I ever saw. A “car phone.” It looked a bit like an old corded telephone hooked up to a car battery in a bag that weighed 30 pounds. I thought it was awesome; my father was on the bleeding edge of a technological revolution, and he was pretty much a super hero. Was it pretty? No. Actually mobile? It couldn’t leave the car, but the car could move, so sure.

Linux 5.13 is going to include the unprivileged sandboxing feature Landlock, which has been in the making for many years now. Unprivileged means that you don’t need special system-level privileges like root or CAP_MAC_ADMIN to use it, as some other Linux sandboxing mechanisms do. Philosophically speaking, you should not need additional special privileges just to drop the privileges that you already have. How it works With Landlock, ....

Are you looking for a bit of order when working with dictionaries in Python? Are you aware that the Python dict has changed over the last several versions and now keeps items in order? Could you learn more about object-oriented programming in Python by comparing it to another language? This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

In this part of the series, we'll explore the bigger picture and the generic issues and 'ill effects' on societies that are brought by the emergence of the internet or accelerated by it. We'll begin with a look at three inter-related subjects, a general social paralysis, an apparent sentiment of homogeneity, and the relation with the widespread neoliberal mindset.

A recent reddit post on /r/golang titled Go2TV - cast videos to UPnP/DLNA MediaRenderers caught my interest. In this blog post I’ll try to get it working with my Samsung TV.
