Steps

Studying for a Tech Interview Sucks, so Here's a Cheat Sheet to Help

This list is meant to be a both a quick guide and reference for further research into these topics. It's basically a summary of that comp sci course you never took or forgot about, so there's no way it can cover everything in depth. It also will be available as a gist on Github for everyone to edit and add to.

Data Structure Basics

###Array ####Definition:

Stores data elements based on an sequential, most commonly 0 based, index.
Based on tuples from set theory.

Hello software developers,

Please check your code to ensure you're not making one of the following mistakes related to cryptography.

I. General Mistakes

Writing your own home-grown cryptography primitives (For example: Mifare Classic)
- Exception: For the sake of learning, but don't deploy it in production.
Using a fast hash function (e.g. MD5, SHA256) for storing passwords. Use bcrypt instead.
Not using a cryptographically secure random number generator

macOS 10.12 Sierra Setup

Custom recipe to get macOS 10.12 Sierra running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.11 El Capitan setup recipe and 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe. I am currently tweaking this for 10.12 Sierra and expect to refine this gist over the next few weeks.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your o

TrueNAS

I will be moving from FreeNAS jails to ubuntu with docker, docker compose, and portainer. FreeNAS support and updates are lacking. There are many advantages to making the switch and with ZFS on linux I think FreeNAS may be a thing of the past. Stay tuned for a new guide of my latest setup. Check out my other gists for progress on the switch. https://gist.github.com/mow4cash/626275e095f7f90898944a85d66b3be6

Use with the following

react-router
redux-form

You must use this compontent on the route component where the form is shown not on the form component itself. This is because this.props.route is only added to route components, and I didn't want to pass that down through props.

	# This task should be run inside an environment that is already configured to connect to the redis
	# instance that we're transfering AWAY FROM.
	#
	# The task should be handed the URL of the redis instance that we're MOVING TO.
	#
	# To run it and pass in the destination Redis you'd do something like this:
	# rake sidekiq:transfer[redis://...]
	#
	# As jobs are added to the destination Redis, they're deleted from the source Redis. This
	# allows the task to be restarted cleanly if it fails in the middle due to a network error
