  • Evolution of OpenSSL Security After Heartbleed

    There are currently two people who work full-time on the OpenSSL code, which does not include individuals who are assigned by their organization to work on the project. There are also a total of 16 individuals on the committer team and many more in the broader community who contribute patches.

    According to Caswell, 30 OpenSSL contributors made 469 commits to the master branch in 2013, which was the last full year before the disclosure of Heartbleed. In comparison, in 2019, roughly 150 authors made over 1,800 commits.

    “This broader community engagement means we really do have many more eyes on the code and a much healthier project,” Caswell said.

  • ‘Cortex’: An open source platform for deploying machine learning models as production web services

    If you are looking for a tool to deploy machine learning models as production web services, then ‘Cortex’ could be a good option to try. This open-source platform is an alternative to serving models with AWS SageMaker or creating your own model deployment platform over AWS services like Elastic Container Service (ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and even open-source projects like Docker, Kubernetes, and TensorFlow.

  • The importance of consistency in your Python code

    The principle of least surprise is a guideline when designing user interfaces. It says that when the user performs an action, the program should do whatever would surprise the user the least. This is for the same reason kids love reading the same book over and over again: there is nothing more comforting to people than the ability to predict and have those predictions come true.

    A critical insight in the development of the ABC language, Python's inspiration, was that programming languages are user interfaces and need to be designed with the same tools that UI designers use. Thankfully, since then, more languages have adopted the concepts of affordance and ergonomics from UI design, even if they apply them less strictly.

    This brings us to the next three principles in the Zen of Python.

  • Python For Finance(Beginner): See Behind the FX rate

    Many people have browsed FX trading sites to check FX rates. If you are buying a large amount of foreign currency whether for traveling or paying for oversea expense, you would be checking FX rate frequently (probably several times a day - like me) as a small rate difference could lead to a quite large financial impact.

    [...]

    You could then leave the code to run for a day or two for it to collect the data.
    Once the data is collected, you have a series of data to play with.

    By plotting line graphs, you could check which banks offer the best rates - in my case, China Merchant Bank offered the more competitive rates at the time.

    I also noticed that both banks charges relatively consistent spreads (the difference between selling and buying rate) across the days. But in comparison, Bank of China seems to be charging higher spreads than China Merchant Bank like calculate below.

  • 10 resources to boost your Git skills

    These articles range from use cases and tutorials to some very interesting, if somewhat unconventional, ways to use Git. All of these articles can help you improve your Git skills, but if you really need a Git 101 introduction, be sure to check out our Getting started with Git: Terminology 101 article and download our Git cheat sheet.

  • XCrySDen is back thanks to the FTP masters

    The XCrySDen package is finally back in Debian. It was removed after Togl had been updated to major release 2.0 without coordinating the transition. Upstream then made some efforts to port the application and as of today, XCrySDen hit the archive! Thanks to the FTP Masters.

  • Looking for Summer 2020 Internship

    I’m a junior at William and Mary majoring in Computer Science and Linguistics, currently looking for an internship in software development over the summer. Ideally, I’d like to be in Northern Virginia, though I would look into temporarily relocating for an awesome opportunity.

    My current experience includes a lot of time working in a Linux environment programming in Python, C, and a bit of Rust and Go. Specifically, I am interested in being part of a team working on systems programming or back-end web development.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
