Our test process occasionally crashed with an access violation exception. We consider these to be Priority 0 bugs, so we had one of the most experience developers in the office sit on this problem. Access violation errors are nasty , because they give you very little information about what is going on, and there is typically no real way to recover from them.

If you’re studying computer science, at some point you’re going to be exposed to the Quicksort algorithm. Even if you’re not a computer science student, chances are this particular algorithm will come up at some point in time as part of an interview. I’ve been asked about it plenty of times in interview processes and never once used it again.

Clustering can be defined as using a combination of load balancing, some form of session replication, and multiple server "workers" to process the balanced load. What Problems Are Solved by Tomcat Clustering?

By Pythonistas at Netflix, coordinated by Amjith Ramanujam and edited by Ellen Livengood As many of us prepare to go to PyCon, we wanted to share a sampling of how Python is used at Netflix. We use Python through the full content lifecycle, from deciding which content to fund all the way to operating the CDN that serves the final video to 148 million members.

No matter how proficient you are, I think, you might still use one of the primary methods of debugging: trace values using printf , TRACE , outputDebugString , etc… and then scan the output while debugging. Adding information about the line number and the file where the log message comes from is a very efficient method that might save you a lot of time.

Once your application security program is up and running, there are several metrics you can use to gauge your progress and optimize your program. For instance, companies typically measure their scan activity, flaw density, and policy compliance. However, very few include metrics for fix rate, despite the fact that it is an important indicator of a program’s success.
