   I believe this technique is called "delta encoding".

   Dealing with data as my day job I've become highly sensitive to schema's. And I hate those "schemaless" (aka schema-on-read) serialization formats more and more. No, there is no schemaless, there is a schema, but it is b

   How does shutting down fix GDPR issues? Does all user data magically disappear by shutting down?

   I agree. Mistfall (and z0mbie himself) was years ahead of its time. For those not aware of Mistfall: typical viruses simply append their code to the target. To avoid detection, polymorphism was introduced: viruses generate permutations of d

   That book is a must-read for anyone dealing with data.

   Any thoughts on the R vs Python at 2/3rd of the page? I have the feeling (but no data) that the data science community is moving from R to Python, is that correct?

   I believe [1] should contain the information you need. And thanks to brilliant lobbyists and reluctant politicians you'll get a 30% tax reduction then as well [2], lucky you! [1]: https://ind.nl/en [2]: https:/&#

   1. This is common in Go; 2. It is not about saving lines or curly braces. It is about the flow of code, and branching away when expectations are violated. It is about helping readers of code establish a mental model of the intentions of cod

    They might speak HTTP/2 though; gRPC does this, and gRPC is quite popular.

    I was wondering the same, but couldn't find an answer. Seeing the Allegro reference brought back a lot of nostalgic feelings.

    Thanks for the write-up. Why did you DIY instead of using an existing system like e.g. Prometheus?

    A few years ago I participated in the AIVD's cyber challenge. It involved reverse engineering an executable, spotting a flaw in the (custom) crypto algorithm which made it brute-forcable and then finally going to some train station whe

    Yes it does block [1]. Coincidentally I was discussing this with a co-worker last week. [1]: http://www.sciencefocus.com/qa/can-you-absorb-vitamin-d-thro...

    At a previous job we had the same setup to SSH to our customer's embedded devices for diagnostics. Incredibly useful. I've been playing with the idea to provide this as a service since then, interesting to see if this is viable.

    Hmm, that's "interesting". Can you elaborate a bit on how yours and theirs differ, if any?

    Having spent a few years at a large energy company, I got quite used to the use of FTP servers to exchange--what else--csv files with data. And is a uploading/downloading a file to/from some ftp server really that different from P

    We use Helm together with Gitlab's CI as well. To make that process smoother, we built landscaper [1]. It receives a desired state, which is a bunch of yamls. Each yaml contains a chart-reference and values (settings). When landscaper

    I started with Scala a year ago for work. I used a mixture of the resources listed here, but I found this [1] series the most valuable, after the other resources gave a basic foundation. [1]: http://danielwestheide.com/scala

    Good point, eicnix. No, we don't have a solution for that, but hadn't the need so far either. Sorry.

    Hi, nice, this is a lot similar to our initial approach. Glad to see that! To make this flow a bit more easier, we've created a tool [1] (apologies for the plug) that is on top of Helm. What it does, is taking a diff between a bunch of

    It strikes me that so much of the components they use (e.g. under "Storage") are in-house built (several dbs, blob store, caches, etc). Is that because at that time equivalent solutions didn't exist? Is that because Twitter s

    I came here to mention exactly this. Being able correlate artefacts with code through embedded versions that contain the output of git describe is worth tons.

    Blender is a nice project. But a 3D modeler that is a bit easier to learn, and deserves a bit more attention imo, is Wings 3D [1]. It might excite some part of the audience here that it is written in Erlang. Internally it uses the winged-ed

    What I recall from the old days: it was indeed possible to detect Softice, through various ways, for instance simply trying to use its own API (through int3 as well having registers set to special magic values). Another trick to detect brea
