glitch.com What is Glitch? “Everybody has good ideas of things we want to make on the Internet. But honestly, it’s gotten too hard. Gomix fixes that. If you’re not a professional developer, the barriers are way too high. There are pretty good tools if you just went to make a marketing website or a blog, but if your idea is an app or a bot or something more interactive, you’re out of luck. It ought to be as easy to make an app as it is to edit a blog post or to change a formula in a spreadsheet.” Anil Dash, December 6, 2016 https://medium.com/gomix/introducing-gomix-aec205c421cb#.fqutfey03 https://glitch.com/about/ Glitch handles the mess • While you work with Glitch, it will seamlessly upgrade your servers and cloud infrastructure in the background. • There’s no deployment or server provisioning because it all happens automatically. Backed by a real company Glitch • Glitch is made by Fog Creek, one of the most influential small tech companies in the world. • They made Trello, FogBugz and co-created Stack Overflow. Why did they make it In some ways, Glitch is a throwback to an older era of software or the internet, when there were simpler ways to get started making cool stuff. For people who were around at that time, they'll understand Glitch easily: It brings “View Source” back. The ability to just look at the code behind something, and tweak it, and make your own thing, was essential to making the Internet fun, and weird, and diverse, in its early days. Creating New Projects • ‘New Project’ creates a starter app with a single view + simple features • ‘Remix this’ duplicates the current project- which can be evolved in a different direction • ‘Switch Project’ sets the current project to be another your projects. Advanced Options • The full source of a project can be: • Exported to a GitHub repository • Download as an archive to your own workstation. • Deleted • Made Private (all projects public by default) Profile • Profile tied to your github account. • Project updated ‘live’ as you edit, unless you change this option Logs • Logs allow you to monitor the app. • App can write to this log - can be a useful source of diagnostic information Logs • Syntax errors in back-end javascript reported here.

Fill Your Boots: Enhanced Embedded Bootloader Exploits Via Fault Injection and Binary Analysis
IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems ISSN 2569-2925, Vol. 2021, No. 1, pp. 56–81. DOI:10.46586/tches.v2021.i1.56-81 Fill your Boots: Enhanced Embedded Bootloader Exploits via Fault Injection and Binary Analysis Jan Van den Herrewegen1, David Oswald1, Flavio D. Garcia1 and Qais Temeiza2 1 School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK, {jxv572,d.f.oswald,f.garcia}@cs.bham.ac.uk 2 Independent Researcher, [email protected] Abstract. The bootloader of an embedded microcontroller is responsible for guarding the device’s internal (flash) memory, enforcing read/write protection mechanisms. Fault injection techniques such as voltage or clock glitching have been proven successful in bypassing such protection for specific microcontrollers, but this often requires expensive equipment and/or exhaustive search of the fault parameters. When multiple glitches are required (e.g., when countermeasures are in place) this search becomes of exponential complexity and thus infeasible. Another challenge which makes embedded bootloaders notoriously hard to analyse is their lack of debugging capabilities. This paper proposes a grey-box approach that leverages binary analysis and advanced software exploitation techniques combined with voltage glitching to develop a powerful attack methodology against embedded bootloaders. We showcase our techniques with three real-world microcontrollers as case studies: 1) we combine static and on-chip dynamic analysis to enable a Return-Oriented Programming exploit on the bootloader of the NXP LPC microcontrollers; 2) we leverage on-chip dynamic analysis on the bootloader of the popular STM8 microcontrollers to constrain the glitch parameter search, achieving the first fully-documented multi-glitch attack on a real-world target; 3) we apply symbolic execution to precisely aim voltage glitches at target instructions based on the execution path in the bootloader of the Renesas 78K0 automotive microcontroller.

An Empirical Study of Obsolete Answers on Stack Overflow
1 An Empirical Study of Obsolete Answers on Stack Overflow Haoxiang Zhang, Shaowei Wang, Tse-Hsun (Peter) Chen, Ying Zou, Senior Member, IEEE, and Ahmed E. Hassan, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Stack Overflow accumulates an enormous amount of software engineering knowledge. However, as time passes, certain knowledge in answers may become obsolete. Such obsolete answers, if not identified or documented clearly, may mislead answer seekers and cause unexpected problems (e.g., using an out-dated security protocol). In this paper, we investigate how the knowledge in answers becomes obsolete and identify the characteristics of such obsolete answers. We find that: 1) More than half of the obsolete answers (58.4%) were probably already obsolete when they were first posted. 2) When an obsolete answer is observed, only a small proportion (20.5%) of such answers are ever updated. 3) Answers to questions in certain tags (e.g., node.js, ajax, android, and objective-c) are more likely to become obsolete. Our findings suggest that Stack Overflow should develop mechanisms to encourage the whole community to maintain answers (to avoid obsolete answers) and answer seekers are encouraged to carefully go through all information (e.g., comments) in answer threads. Index Terms—Q&A Website, Stack Overflow, Obsolete Knowledge, Knowledge Sharing. F 1 INTRODUCTION ECHNICAL Q&A websites are becoming an important to handle such a situation2. Additionally, a survey of 453 T and popular platform for knowledge sharing and learn- Stack Overflow users reports that outdated code on Stack ing.

Welcome to a new kind of Agile The current charter of most distributed company leaders is to create an online workspace (...) supported by a set of tools and self- organizing behaviors.(...)With a strong vision, clear articulation of priorities, and strongly nurturing culture as part of your company DNA, you have a clear path to success on your distributed Agile team." - Amanda Ross, Director of Marketing & Agile Practices at Sococo It’s been called a framework, a philosophy, a methodology - research Agile and you’ll find that so many people define it with so many different words that you'd be forgiven for thinking it’s some sort of mystical practice involving tarot cards and looking at the stars. But it’s actually a major shift in the way people work, and it’s been happening for over a decade - whatever you choose to call it, if you are in the IT business, Agile is likely part of the way you work. If it’s not, the time to start is now. Companies and teams worldwide have used it to deliver better products in record time with maximum efficiency and minimum burnout.

Glitch Studies Manifesto
[email protected]. Amsterdam/Cologne, 2009/2010 http://rosa-menkman.blogspot.com The dominant, continuing search for a noiseless channel has been, and will always be no more than a regrettable, ill-fated dogma. Even though the constant search for complete transparency brings newer, ‘better’ media, every one of these new and improved techniques will always have their own fingerprints of imperfection. While most people experience these fingerprints as negative (and sometimes even as accidents) I emphasize the positive consequences of these imperfections by showing the new opportunities they facilitate. In the beginning there was only noise. Then the artist moved from the grain of celluloid to the magnetic distortion and scanning lines of the cathode ray tube. he wandered the planes of phosphor burn-in, rubbed away dead pixels and now makes performance art based on the cracking of LCD screens. The elitist discourse of the upgrade is a dogma widely pursued by the naive victims of a persistent upgrade culture. The consumer only has to dial #1-800 to stay on top of the technological curve, the waves of both euphoria and disappointment. It has become normal that in the future the consumer will pay less for a device that can do more. The user has to realize that improving is nothing more than a proprietary protocol, a deluded consumer myth about progression towards a holy grail of perfection. Dispute the operating templates of creative practice by fighting genres and expectations! I feel stuck in the membranes of knowledge, governed by social conventions and acceptances. As an artist I strive to reposition these membranes; I do not feel locked into one medium or between contradictions like real vs.

(Also an advisor to Medium.) More: http://anildash.com/ Sep 27, 2017 · 4 min read It’s time to get serious about Developer Relations Developer relations is a vital part of modern business strategy, but so much of the industry still treats it like an afterthought. Glitch for Platforms is here to help everyone who does Dev Rel. If you do developer relations or evangelism, you’re probably great at your job. You’re talking to coders, getting out in the community, building relationships. But does the rest of your organization value that work as much as they should? A lot of smart people are thinking it’s time for Dev Rel to grow up, and we agree. All of us who give a damn about developer relations need to get a lot louder and more aggressive about the business value of what we do. And that means tackling the ROI question head-on: Can you really show that your developer outreach is working? Jonathan Gottfried @jonmarkgo Replying to @bwest it feels counterintuitive to spend time proving ROI to execs rather than generating value for developers but Jonathan Gottfried, Co-Founder of Major League Hacking Dev Rel’s Burden of Proof For a lot of Dev Rel people, really proving a return on investment is, well, a pain in the ass.

Top Tips for New Coders p16. Understanding Async in Node 1 How Web Servers Work What happens when you enter a URL into your browser? It turns out, a whole bunch of things happen. But one of them is you sending a request to a server (which is just a computer) somewhere, asking it to give you the app or site that relates to that URL. You can think of a computer server as being a bit like a server in a restaurant - you request something and they should return with what you requested. At a diner, for example, if you ask them for food, they eventually return with that food. 2 So when you’re surfin' the web, and you go to example.com, or click a link, you’re asking a server to send you a web page.

In this article, we examine the main topics Python’s main areas of discussion through mining 2 461 876 related to this language being discussed by developers on one of the most popular Q&A websites, Stack Overflow, as well as temporal trends posts, from August 2008 to January 2019, using LDA based through mining 2 461 876 posts. To be more useful for the software topic modeling . We also analyze the temporal trends of engineers, we study what Python provides as the alternative to popular the extracted topics to find out how the developers’ interest technologies offered by common programming languages like Java. is changing over the time. After explaining the topics and Our results indicate that discussions about Python standard features, trends of Python, we investigate the technologies offered web programming, and scientific programming 1 are the most popular by Python, which are not properly revealed by the topic areas in the Python community.

The End of Documentation
The End of Documentation A Better Way for Developers and Engineers to Preserve and Share Knowledge Introduction When software developers are trying to share knowledge within their organization, there are two principle methods most teams fall back on: documentation and conversation. Conversation can happen face to face, over email, or in chat apps. Documentation takes the form of notes left in the code, lengthy written records and company wikis. Both of these approaches, however, have serious drawbacks. In our latest developer survey, which collected answers from over 90,000 active programmers, respondents felt the greatest challenge to productivity was a distracting work environment. Developers are seeking solid chunks of time in which they can dive deep into focused work, ideally finding their way to a flow state. And as academic research on the daily lives of programmers over the last two decades has shown, the most common breaks from writing code are for meeting with colleagues, reviewing documentation and answering instant messages. Greatest challenges to productivity 68,141 responses Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 2 Check the receipts Expensify is an example of what these problems look like in the real world At Expensify, a fast growing Silicon Valley startup focused on simplifying the process of collecting receipts and filing for reimbursements, both of these pain points were present. To help onboard new hires, the team created a wealth of documentation, but it wasn’t easily accessible. “Our documentation at Expensify has been…fairly terrible in the past,” said software engineer John Lee. “People would rather talk to someone with more knowledge than to go search through all these pages of documentation we wrote.” Expensify prides itself on being a flat organization.

This course serves as either an off-ramp from Vidcode’s JavaScript courses into traditional web development, or as a standalone course to teach your students how to make personalized, interactive websites. Your students will be introduced to creating websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Time: 35-45 minutes 5-10 minutes Getting set up on Glitch 5 minutes Intro to HTML 20-25 minutes Personal Websites project 5 minutes Discussion and Sharing Web Development Course vidcode.com Background Introducing HTML HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the standard markup language for web pages, which means that it allows the user to create and structure web pages. Webpages are broken up into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. ● HTML is the content of the site. The text and images on a site are organized in HTML tags. ● CSS styles sites, and customizes the HTML of the site with fonts, background-colors, placing elements, just to name a few. ● JavaScript adds interaction to sites. If you open a menu, or play a game online, JavaScript is probably behind it!
