Four Signs of an Awesome Coder

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:29:02 +0700

Now, having pointed out the signs, I can give you my awesomeness advice.

Read at least one to two books every year and follow at least one technology blog/aggregator.

Start a new open source project that you think will be awesome, or join another project that you think is going to be awesome.

Ask yourself, what is beauty? Is it fast code? Is it brevity? Is it clarity? Once you know thyself, then you can start to measure and hone your craft.

When you find yourself faced with a change, think about it. Do you have more to gain or lose? How can you experiment with the change? How can you measure the effects? How can you isolate the change? How can you bound your fear? How can you reap the reward?

Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 01:22:37 +0700

When hackers crash Windows in the course of developing malware, they’ll often accidentally agree to send the virus code straight to Microsoft, according to senior security architect Rocky Heckman. ‘It’s amazing how much stuff we get.’ Heckman also said Microsoft was a common target for people testing their attacks. ‘The first thing [script kiddies] do is fire off all these attacks at Microsoft.com. On average we get attacked between 7000 and 9000 times per second.’

Is Your PHP Application Affected by the Y2K38 Bug?

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:09:12 +0700

I don’t want to be too alarmist, but try running the following PHP code on your system:

$date = '2040-02-01'; $format = 'l d F Y H:i'; $mydate1 = strtotime($date); echo '
', date($format, $mydate1), '
'; ?>



With luck, you’ll see “Wednesday 1 February 2040 00:00″ displayed in your browser. If you’re seeing a date in the late 60’s or early 70’s, your PHP application may be at risk from the Y2K38 bug!

Djangy: deploy your Django application instantly.: 
  Sysadmin no more!
  
  Never configure apache. Forget about the headaches of virtual hosting. Push your code to Djangy and we’ll do the rest.
  
  How much does it cost?
  
  Only pay for what you use. If you need more resources, we’ll simply give them to you and you pay at the end of every month. It’s that simple.



iPad Gripe Session
Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:37:10 +0700
iPad Gripe Session: 
  As a gesture to invoke the Undo command, shaking a handheld device the size of an iPhone is clever and workable. Shaking a much larger device like the iPad is awkward at best and violates one infrequently violated but nevertheless important law of good user interface design: don’t force the user to look like a fool [original euphemism deleted in deference to British sensitivities] in order to use any given feature.

Open Finder for current directory from command line
Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:19:33 +0700
I just learned how to open a Finder window directly from the command line.


  $ open .


Yes, it’s actually that easy, and the open command is quite handy some times. This is from the open man page.


  The open command opens a file (or a directory or URL), just as if you had double-clicked the file’s icon. If no application name is specified, the default application as determined via LaunchServices is used to open the specified files.


This means that you can actually open anything from the command line with the open command. Go ahead and try it out!

Very handy when using with VisorTerminal.
