testing – Jupiter Broadcasting

We all know that not having automated tests is a sign of developers taking risky shortcuts. However, we tend to be a little shy as to why we so often feel compelled to take this shortcut — client budgets

Why Software Outsourcing Doesn’t Work … Anymore – Yegor Bugayenko

I_’m talking about outsourcing, not offshore development. The difference is that in outsourcing, there are two companies involved: you the client and some WeCodeLikeNoOneElse Inc. from Loompaland. In offshore development, you just open an office in that same Loompaland with your own management and employees_

Shipping

When is it time to just call something done and ship
How much polish is enough
Acceptable bugs?

Testing is Making Me Testy

Can you be a good dev and be ‘bad at testing’?
Once upon a time… QA Staff Existed…. Should they come back?
TDD? BDD? Alphabet Soup?

Can coding bootcamps replace a computer science degree?

A _2015 survey from Course Report of 67 U.S. and Canadian bootcamp schools_found that the average tuition per program is just over $11,000, with an average program length of about 11 weeks. Compare that with an average cost of $31,321 for one year at a private college, and a tech bootcamp seems like a great deal. Even a year for in-state students attending a public institution can expect to pay just over $9,000 per year, while out-of-state students pay an average of $22,958 per year at public colleges.

How I went from a tester to a developer role

How JetBrains Lost Years of Customer Loyalty in Just a Few Hours

Yesterday’s big news, at least for many developers, is that JetBrains – maker of popular tools like IntelliJ and ReSharper – is moving to a software-as-a-service subscription model for their products.

Previously, buying a JetBrains product got you a perpetual license and a year of upgrades. Once the license expired, any software you had received under that license would continue to work, but you would need to buy another license to get further upgrades. It was a simple model that worked just fine for many people, and most customers upgraded every year.

Starting November 2, though, that all stops. After that date, JetBrains will no longer sell these perpetual licenses. Instead, you can rent access to their software on a month-by-month basis.

Introducing JetBrains Toolbox, easier access to your coding tools, more control and flexibility, and a lower entry price | JetBrains Company Blog

As of November 2, 2015, we will introduce JetBrains Toolbox—a collection of our popular desktop tools (IDEs, utilities and extensions) available on a monthly or yearly subscription basis. With JetBrains Toolbox, you can pick and choose one or more tools that best suit your current needs, or go for the ‘All products’ plan that comes with special savings. You decide what to put in your Toolbox and for how long.

My indie (personal) IntelliJ purchase was $100/year. Now it’s $120/year (except for the first-year upgrade hook of $10 off) and it now turns off after each year.

Don’t Build a Billion-Dollar Business. Really.

Apple, Google, and other tech giants will pay $415 million in poaching scandal settlement

Kali Linux Interview:

Brought to you by: System76

Mati (muts) Aharoni

Mati Aharoni is the founder and core developer of the Kali Linux project, as well as the CEO of Offensive Security. Over the past year, Mati has been developing a curriculum designed for users who wish to make the most out of the Kali Linux operating system. By bringing together several advanced features in the Kali OS and projecting them into useful and practical scenario based exercises, the Kali Linux workshop was born. The workshop is designed to be a fast-paced, crash course to the most advanced features in the distribution, giving attendees the ability and freedom to bend Kali Linux to fit their needs.

Questions for Mati:

What made you to create/develop for Kali/Backtrack?
Do you still work in the security / penetration testing filed?
How do you think the industry has changed in the recent years?
Do you ever feel concerned that Kali could raise the wrong kind of attention?
Can you touch on the Backtrack to Kali transition?
Could you talk about the move to Debian as the base?
How big is the Kali Team?
In our Subreddit you mentioned:

One of my personal crusades in the next few months is to try to increase awareness of the flexibility of Kali Linux and try to change people’s mindsets about what our project has to offer.

Could you expand on that here?
Ever have any questions for the Kali/Backtrack developers…?

Black Hat USA 2014 | The Kali Linux Dojo

The developers of Kali Linux present the first official all-day Kali Linux event at Black Hat USA 2014. Consisting of five, one-hour workshops, we will take you on a unique journey through Kali Linux while providing rare insights and an in-depth look at the most powerful features available in our advanced penetration-testing platform.

— NEWS —

KDE Frameworks 5 Has Been Officially Released

The KDE Community is proud to announce KDE Frameworks 5.0. Frameworks 5 is the next generation of KDE libraries, modularized and optimized for easy integration in Qt applications.

On Plasma 5 | Mart

We used to have a 6 months “big release” of all things KDE, called in the beginning just “KDE”, then “KDE SC”, but this release is not that anymore, because KDE grown a lot in the past years, is not just that anymore, and “a single release of everything” scales only so much.

So, when a new version will arrive? how do you check if new applications come? The development cycle will be much faster now: you can expect a new release of the KDE frameworks (so the libraries, not the applications) every month, while Plasma5 will be each 3 months instead for now.

Getting Started/Using Project Neon to contribute to KDE – KDE TechBase
wteng on Reddit ELI5: KDE SC, Plasma Next, QT5, etc?
KDE – The community, similar to e.g. Mozilla.
KDE Plasma Workspaces – The workspaces created by KDE. This is what you “log in” to, and what handles the windows, desktop, and panels. There are different KDE workspaces for different form factors, such as Plasma Desktop (most common one), Plasma Netbook, Plasma Mobile (replaced by Contour) etc. So instead of saying “I use KDE”, you probably want to say “I use [KDE] Plasma Desktop”, similar to how you would say “I use [Ubuntu] Unity” or “I use GNOME Shell”. Plasma 5 is the next generation of Plasma Workspaces. Plasma 2 and Plasma Next were temporary working names that people used to refer to Plasma 5.
KDE Applications – Applications created using KDE libraries.
KDE Frameworks – The libraries and software frameworks that allow you to create graphical applications. (Formerly called KDE Platform.)
Qt – The application framework and graphical toolkit that KDE Frameworks is based on. There are non-KDE applications that use Qt, for example Google Earth, VLC, etc.

Until now there was still a big bundle consisting of the libraries, Plasma Desktop, and a lot of KDE applications that were released together regularly. This bundle was internally called KDE Software Compilation. It seems like KDE is moving away from having the same release schedule for everything, which is why you’ll see things like “New version of KDE Frameworks” etc. instead of “New version of KDE”.

To summarize:

If you like the workspace (the thing you log into and that handles your windows, desktop, widgets, panel, etc.), you should look forward to Plasma 5.

If you like a KDE application, like Dolphin, Okular, Krita, etc., you should be excited about the next version of that KDE application.

If you’re a developer, then you’ll probably enjoy the improvements in KDE Frameworks and Qt. There have been rather big changes in these underlying libraries that bring several benefits to users, such as modularization (less dependencies if you just want to e.g. install a KDE application) and performance, but you really shouldn’t worry too much about these.

When before you would tell people that you use KDE, now say e.g. “I use Plasma Desktop” when referring to the workspace, or “I use Dolphin” when you want to refer to a particular application (in this case Dolphin).

Desktop Containers – The Way Forward

Sandboxed applications for GNOME | As far as I know

There’s quite a lot to be said about sandboxed applications, so this is the first of two posts on the subject.

Desktop containers / app sandboxing to play a relevant role in Fedora Workstation | fedoraFTW | fedora = free open-source

Fedora Workstation is to have support for quite some technologies, including desktop containers and sandboxed applications.

Manjaro Linux Developers Experience A Mass Exodus [Updated]

“Manjaro will still exist and we have now some issues to deal with. We are sorry to all those projects trusting on us. This issue has grown now and not only our forum is now affect. The team is in direct contact with those forums and projects. It even went so far that people using our pictures and impersonate us. Not only me but other team members as well. Friends, we will pass this issue together and it also shows how strong we are, truly. I thank you all having you in my team and doing Manjaro together.”

Headlines

pfSense 2.1.4 released

The pfSense team has released 2.1.4, shortly after 2.1.3 – it’s mainly a security release
Included within are eight security fixes, most of which are pfSense-specific
OpenSSL, the WebUI and some packages all need to be patched (and there are instructions on how to do so)
It also includes a large number of various other bug fixes
Update all your routers!

DragonflyBSD’s pf gets SMP

While we’re on the topic of pf…
Dragonfly patches their old[er than even FreeBSD’s] pf to support multithreading in many areas
Stemming from a user’s complaint, Matthew Dillon did his own work on pf to make it SMP-aware
Altering your configuration‘s ruleset can also help speed things up, he found
When will OpenBSD, the source of pf, finally do the same?

ChaCha usage and deployment

A while back, we talked to djm about some cryptography changes in OpenBSD 5.5 and OpenSSH 6.5
This article is sort of an interesting follow-up to that, showing which projects have adopted ChaCha20
OpenSSH offers it as a stream cipher now, OpenBSD uses it for it’s random number generator, Google offers it in TLS for Chromium and some of their services and lots of other projects seem to be adopting it
Both Google’s fork of OpenSSL and LibReSSL have upcoming implementations, while vanilla OpenSSL does not
Unfortunately, this article has one mistake: FreeBSD does not use it – they still use the broken RC4 algorithm

BSDMag June 2014 issue

The monthly online BSD magazine releases their newest issue
This one includes the following articles: TLS hardening, setting up a package cluster in MidnightBSD, more GIMP tutorials, “saving time and headaches using the robot framework for testing,” an interview and an article about the increasing number of security vulnerabilities
The free pdf file is available for download as always

Interview – Craig Rodrigues – rodrigc@freebsd.org

FreeBSD’s continuous testing infrastructure

Tutorial

Creating pre-patched OpenBSD ISOs

News Roundup

Preauthenticated decryption considered harmful

Responding to a post from Adam Langley, Ted Unangst talks a little more about how signify and pkg_add handle signatures
In the past, the OpenBSD installer would pipe the output of ftp straight to tar, but then verify the SHA256 at the end – this had the advantage of not requiring any extra disk space, but raised some security concerns
With signify, now everything is fully downloaded and verified before tar is even invoked
The pkg_add utility works a little bit differently, but it’s also been improved in this area – details in the post
Be sure to also read the original post from Adam, lots of good information

FreeBSD 9.3-RC2 is out

As the -RELEASE inches closer, release candidate 2 is out and ready for testing
Since the last one, it’s got some fixes for NIC drivers, the latest file and libmagic security fixes, some serial port workarounds and various other small things
The updated bsdconfig will use pkgng style packages now too
A lesser known fact: there are also premade virtual machine images you can use too

pkgsrcCon 2014 wrap-up

In what may be the first real pkgsrcCon article we’ve ever had!
Includes wrap-up discussion about the event, the talks, the speakers themselves, what they use pkgsrc for, the hackathon and basically the whole event
Unfortunately no recordings to be found…

PostgreSQL FreeBSD performance and scalability

FreeBSD developer kib@ writes a report on PostgreSQL on FreeBSD, and how it scales
On his monster 40-core box with 1TB of RAM, he runs lots of benchmarks and posts the findings
Lots of technical details if you’re interested in getting the best performance out of your hardware
It also includes specific kernel options he used and the rest of the configuration
If you don’t want to open the pdf file, you can use this link too

Feedback/Questions

All the tutorials are posted in their entirety at bsdnow.tv
There, you’ll also find a link to Bob Beck’s LibReSSL talk from the end of May – we finally found a recording!
Send questions, comments, show ideas/topics, or stories you want mentioned on the show to feedback@bsdnow.tv

This Firefox OS-powered streaming stick is Mozilla’s answer to Chromecast

Google\’s Chromecast streaming stick could soon get competition from an unexpected source: Mozilla has secretly been working with a partner on a Chromecast-like streaming stick that is powered by Firefox OS. The project was supposed to be under wraps for at least a few more weeks, but Thursday, news started to leak out when a Mozilla evangelist tweeted a photo of a prototype of the device.

AMD Planning Open Source GameWorks Competitor, Mantle for Linux

(51:45) _When asked about AMD input on SteamOS and its commitment to the gamers that see that as the future, Huddy mentioned that AMD was considering, but not promising, bringing the Mantle API to Linux. If the opportunity exists, says Huddy, to give the gamer a better experience on that platform with the help of Mantle, and developers ask for the support for AMD, then AMD will at the very least \”listen to that.\” It would incredibly interesting to see a competitor API in the landscape of Linux where OpenGL is essentially the only game in town.

Hoopla:

An American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.She conceptualized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages. She is credited with popularizing the term \”debugging\” for fixing computer glitches (inspired by an actual moth removed from the computer).
