There are a few good articles on some advanced concepts, the central limit theorem, bayes theorem and paxos, a consensus algorithm. These concepts drive a lot of… Read More Geek Reading February 13, 2015

Today we have more security related stories than normal. Google decides to partner with Microsoft to fight false positives in the antivirus industry. Tech Crunch reports on the bad side of things when a security researcher dumps 10 million real passwords. Probably my favorite story of the day is about automating Tinder with eigenfaces.

Two fairly big announcements for today. Apple releases Swift 1.2, which hopefully makes some developers happier. Google decides to move to HTTP/2 and away from SPDY. Much of the SPDY improvements are part of HTTP/2, so this is probably a good thing. There are a few good articles in the performance section below, all of… Read More Geek Reading February 10, 2015

Well, there was one really big story today, health insurer Anthem being hacked. A huge number of records with personal information. Definitely keep an eye on that story as it develops.

Lots of news today! First, Under Armour buys MyFitnessPal. This is interesting because it is a nice set of software, but got purchased for $475 million. Is some consolidation coming? There were tons of articles about Net Neutrality, and I have included the post from Mozilla. Google announces the .how TLD, which is just cool… Read More Geek Reading February 5, 2015

Not a large number of articles today, but always quality. First, Brad Feld leads off with an interesting idea of a 40% rule for startups, talking about the mix of growth and profit.

Some very cool news today, Raspberry Pi 2 is announced and stays the same price but is a big upgrade. Seth Godin drops some genius, but the money quote is in the last line, “if you fail to invest the time and effort to find a better path, it’s unlikely you’ll find one.” On Javalobby,… Read More Geek Reading February 3, 2015

Today we have a big pile of articles from the weekend. Google Ventures announces the availability of the design sprint site. Christian Heilmann talks about feeling like a fraud as he starts a new job. This is a good read for the rest of us whose resume does not look like Christian’s. On Javalobby there… Read More Geek Reading February 2, 2015
