Memory Management

Posted by on February 18, 2012 No comments
For many programmers, memory management is an important part of the code. Using memory efficiently is not an easy task, and it can be very confusing. However, there are generally two ways in which memory is given to a program: the stack and the heap. The stack is the simplest one to understand, and is practically ubiquitous in programming. In certain languages, such as the C-based ones, whenever you allocate a variable, for example "int a;" a block of memory from the program's stack is allocated to hold that data. The stack is based on the computer science concept and is a very simple data structure. Whenever your program starts up, it gets a small block of memory. As functions create variables, they get stored in memory on the stack, generally starting at the top and working downwards. Read more [...]

Security Testing and Web Applications

In today's world, web applications are almost an essential part of most peoples' day. There are applications for searching the Internet, transferring money between bank accounts, and posting pictures of your friends and family.

Securing these applications while maintaining high standards of accessibility has become mandatory, although it remains difficult and some applications fall victim to individuals able to exploit small vulnerabilities. To find and defend against the breaching of these potential weak spots, testing techniques are typically employed during most if not all stages in the software development process. The first part of the security assurance process Read more [...]

Creative Programming

"Software development is a kissing cousin of engineering (if not an engineering discipline itself), and blends creativity with math and science. That's why I find that a lot of advice to creative types is also applicable to software developers." - Joey deVilla Creativity is something which we generally do not relate to programming/software development. Typically we consider software development to be highly algorithmic in nature, where you can define what you want and how you can implement it. But essentially, its not the only thing which defines a software. I think software development is one such field where invention happens every now and then. I am not talking about new technologies being released; I am talking about the programs that we write everyday. Everyday we write something unique, Read more [...]

Computers and Time

Posted by on November 9, 2011 No comments
In one of my previous posts I explained how to replace a lithium battery. The battery manages the time on the computer and retains the CMOS settings. Today I'd like to reflect on the puzzling issue that occurs when objects move really fast and how computers are affected by that. The original idea was brought forward by Einstein with the general theory of relativity and is discussed by physicists the world over to this day. So what happens to the CMOS at speed. To be totally honest grasping the concept of relativity is mind blowing. Simply accepting it like I accept the sun rises is much easier. Even so curiosity gets the better of me and so the question is asked. Lets lay out the facts 1. CMOS battery keeps up the time 2. It also maintain the BIOS settings 3. Basic settings are held in Read more [...]
