It might be short notice, but I'm going to be taking part in the Make A Diff [Workathon tomorrow at Thoughtworks](https://www.meetup.com/Tech-For-Good-NYC/events/235774183/), and I recommend you join if you're free. [Make A Diff](https://twitter.com/makeadiff_nyc) is an organization I helped start this past month in order to help get us technical folks working together on tasks of political and civic engagement. We started it after our country elected an orange demagogue and some of us felt especially motivated to use our magical talents of hacking the mainframe for the better. This is not a politically partisan meetup, though, it's fundamentally about making a positive difference using our tech skills.

Tomorrow we will be helping to contribute to some rad open source projects. Details are in the link above. I am particularly excited to get my hands dirty with Elixir, which is a really interesting functional programming language I could see myself really enjoying.

There are three really interesting projects, including a Fake News Detector, but I am most excited by the idea of working on the [Elixir/Phoenix API for Code Corps](https://github.com/code-corps/code-corps-api) because it's been on my to-learn list for a while. Elixir seems like a very friendly and powerful language, and Phoenix seems like a well put-together framework that appeals to what I like about Ruby on Rails.

Tomorrow should be a good opportunity to get some good experience in collaboration, GitHub, and open source. You are welcome to stop by for the whole day, or part of the day. All experience levels are welcome. Please RSVP if you do intend to come. You also are welcome to come and contribute even if you have zero technical experience, there are a lot of ways to help. But if you are into the code part, I really think these projects have a lot of exciting features from a technical perspective, and it will be a really fun day. I hope to see you there.

Spread the word if you have any friends who might want to come.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve once again listed our [Kali Linux images on the Amazon AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B08LL91KKB) marketplace. You can now spin up an updated Kali machine easily through your EC2 panel. Our current image is a “full” image, which contains all the standard tools available in a full Kali release. Once your instance is running, connect to it with your SSH private key using the “ **ec2-user** ” account. Don’t forget to update your Kali instance to get the latest packages and bug fixes. Type as root (or sudo): **apt update && apt dist-upgrade**. We are “selling” these images on the marketplace for **free** , so other than the regular Amazon charges, there are no extras to pay. The Kali team would like to take this opportunity to thank **@r0kh** for his efforts of getting Kali back on track (no pun intended) and working flawlessly in AWS. If you plan to use these Kali images for penetration testing in an AWS environment, make sure you check out the Amazon penetration testing [request form](https://aws.amazon.com/security/penetration-testing/).

The data fiend’s dilemma

title: The data fiend’s dilemma
published: true
tags: datascience

I’ve got a confession.

My addiction to data might have gone too far.

About 6 months ago, I became more focused on health and fitness and began to center my lifestyle around running. I began to eat better. I started to work out 6 times a week. I ran anywhere from 4 to 6 times a week.

And I began to obsess over measuring every little bit of it.

I tracked my runs, my workouts, what I ate, how much I drank, my body fat percentage, my weight, my muscle mass, changes in my menstrual cycle. _Everything_.

Data ruled by world. I worked out and ran, not just for my health, but to add another row of data to my spreadsheets and CSVs.

And I’m not sure that any of these numbers have changed anything — I’m not entirely convinced that the trajectory of my fitness journey has changed because of data.

And I think this is a part of a larger problem that exists in our IoT-centric, data-driven (should I add more buzzwords?) world that we live in: being data-driven doesn’t necessarily make us better. It makes us more informed in some ways, yes, absolutely, I agree.

But more informed isn’t necessarily better — especially when you have to fight the forces of bias, ignorance, and plain ol’ stubbornness.

This is the point in this post where I’m supposed to present an answer to the crisis of disinformation — the desire to disengage with the information that we have — but I don’t have one.

This is just something that I think about quite often, especially because it has affected me so strongly during my fitness journey.

And now that I think about it, although I cannot lay out a complete solutions, I can lay out a list of smaller steps we can take to addressing it.

- Encouraging people to have a deeper awareness of how machine learning and data are used in their day-to-day lives. People here means _all_ people.
- Be honest (and humble) about where machine learning can’t help us and won’t ever be able to (at least anytime in the near future).
- Stop making everything an IoT.

Rant over.

I was learning to code. For real this time. I was not allowed to install Rails on the library computers, so I bought a Windows machine from a friend for $40 and installed Ubuntu. A different friend had pointed me in this direction, proposing that computer prices often depreciated largely due to software issues and marketing, as opposed to hardware problems. This was a really good call. It was not a great machine, but it totally got the job done.

I *really* did not have extra money to spend. I agreed to pay for the purchase in installments of $20. When it came time to make good on the second half of my arrangement, I still did not have the money, so I avoided running into that friend before leaving town. He didn't really care, but I paid him back, plus a few beers, the next time I saw him. I was a pretty well-paid software developer by then.

I am so glad I bought that computer.

I recently left my last company (after it was sold) and I'm now looking for a full-time gig in Berlin.  I'm a full-stack developer 

I am currently learning more about combining Rails and React.js.  Athough I have experience with Angular.js, I like the fact that React is just view-based and I'm getting used to the component aspect of it.  Cool stuff.

Anyway, nice to meet you.

What should be in Source Control?

---

I am currently working on source code that is over 5Gb in size. This is mostly due to a poorly thought out folder structure, there are code files, images and Excel files all jumbled together. I think a clear distinction should be made between source code and data.

### Source Code

I will define source code as anything that is written in order to compile and run the project. If it is a webpage it will be all the HTML, CSS and Javascript or any file used to produce these. I would also include any configuration files and files used to build/deploy the website or project. Anything that is compiled from your source files can safely be ignored.

### Data

I would define data as anything that is added to the project during its life. So if you have an upload option, anything that is uploaded I would describe as data. The site should still function without (or very little) data.

### Images

Images can fit into both groups. Any icons or images attached to the functionality of the project I would class as source code. However anything that is uploaded should be classed as Data.

### Databases

The database should also be classed as both. The data, anything that is inside a database table should normally be classed as data. Stored Procedures, Functions and Views are all Source Code and would benefit from version control.

### Source Control != Backup

Source control is not an excuse not to backup things. Don’t just commit files to source control so you know you can restore them if you need to. Files in general in source control are there so you can see how they changed over time as the code base changed. Files in you backup are a snapshot of what the application was at a point in time and will include ALL the data.

One last point before I end. If you are hosting on a Cloud Computing platform like Azure it gives you an easy way to distinguish between Data and Code.

Anything in your

- Web App = Code
- Blob Storage = Data
- SQL = Data/Code

Each project is unique and there will always be exceptions to these suggestions but I think this is a good goal to have. What do you think?

_Originally published on [my blog](https://dmerej.info/blog/post/a-simple-problem/)_


Let’s say that at your work, you have daily meetings every day at 10.

To avoid monotony, you’ve decided to signal the beginning of the meeting by playing a different song every time.

Let’s assume the following:

- Your music collection is organized neatly, and all the file names look like `<author> -<title>.mp3`
- The files can be found and downloaded easily from a web browser.

You’d like to:

1. Make sure to never play the same song twice
2. Be able to answer the question: “What was the song you played X days ago ?”
3. Have a chronologically sorted list of songs, so that you can tell yourself: “Hum. It’s been two weeks I did not play anything from Pink Floyd, let’s use _Another Brick In The Wall_ today”

Based on your experience, how many lines of code do you need to write to solve this problem?

I’m going to give you a moment to think about this …

Enjoy the video in the mean time:

{% youtube VwO21W9AD3w %}

So how much was it? One thousand lines of code, one hundred, ten?

I know you are going to say it depends on the language you are using, but in reality it does not.

The number of line of code you need to write does not depend on the language you are using because the answer is zero.

I'll let you think about it a while longer. Scroll down to see the solution :)

You just need a special folder, let’s say “Stand Ups” and a file explorer.

Every day, you download your song in the correct folder, and then you use the “sort by date” feature to have your songs sorted by date:

![Stand Up folder](https://dmerej.info/blog/pics/standup-folder.png)
</summary>

Yup, sometimes “do nothing” is the best strategy :)

I’ll leave you with a quote and a link:
