Just Be Nice: Rethinking Tech Hiring
•
0 likes•656 views
This document discusses rethinking tech hiring by focusing on being nice rather than on technical skills. It advocates for screening based on performance profiles rather than coding tests. Hiring should reflect company culture and allow people to surprise you with their potential rather than assume most are average. Interviews should consider a person's work reflections rather than coding on a whiteboard. The goal is opening opportunities by moving past biases.

Vaccines help prevent diseases caused by microbes like polio, tuberculosis, and chicken pox by exposing the body to weakened or dead forms of the microbes. This allows the immune system to develop antibodies that will protect against the actual diseases without risking illness. Vaccines have been very effective in reducing cases of once common diseases like polio and plague.
Why does product_development_suck
A lot of product development projects suck. Most of the time because of a missing purpose and a clear focus on what is really important. Impact Mapping can help to create such a purpose and to focus on the capabilities that are in context with the business goals.

This study compared trabeculectomy outcomes between phakic eyes that previously underwent clear-corneal phacoemulsification (n=63) and eyes that did not have prior surgery (n=108). The trabeculectomy failure rate after a mean follow up of 13.4 months was 31.7% for pseudophakic eyes and 42.6% for control eyes, a difference that was not statistically significant (p=0.107). The study concluded that clear corneal phacoemulsification does not appear to negatively impact subsequent trabeculectomy outcomes, though the study had limitations including a small sample size and retrospective design.

Understanding Open Source Licenses
This document discusses open source licenses. It explains that open source licenses determine how software can be used, reused, and distributed. There are three main types of open source licenses: permissive licenses that require credit but few other obligations; weak copyleft licenses that require modifications and derivatives to be openly licensed; and strong copyleft licenses that require all software linked or distributed with the licensed software to also be open source. The document advises readers to carefully understand the license for their software project to avoid legal risks and ensure their goals are met.

Organization 2.0: Avoiding the Social Software Graveyard
The document discusses how social software initiatives in libraries often fail and provides recommendations for successful Library 2.0 projects.

Open Source and Public Policy
All Things Open 2023
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Deb Bryant - Open Source Initiative, Patrick Masson - Apereo Foundation, Stephen Jacobs - Rochester Institute of Technology, Ruth Suehle - SAS, & Greg Wallace - FreeBSD Foundation
Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Robert Aboukhalil - CZI
Title: Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by K.S. Bhaskar - YottaDB LLC
Title: Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Carol Huang & Mike Fix - Stripe
Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
