##Why Do Organizations Need Secure Development Environments?
The need to secure corporate IT environments is common to all functions of organizations, and software application development is one of them.
At its core, the need for securing IT environments in organizations arises from the digital corporate assets that they carry. It’s often data attached to privacy concerns, typically under regulations such as [GDPR](https://gdpr-info.eu/) or [HIPAA](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html), or application source code, credentials, and most recently operational data that can have strategic significance.
Threat scenarios attached to corporate data are not only bound [to leaking data to outsiders but also preventing insiders](https://strong.network/article/thwarting-the-theft-of-oauth-session-tokens) with nefarious intent to exfiltrate data. Hence the security problem is multifaceted: it spans from careless asset handling to willful mishandling.
In the case of environments for software application development, the complexity of the security problem lies in addressing the diversity of these environments’ settings. They range from data access needs and environment configuration to the developer’s relationship with the company, e.g. internal employee, consultant, temporary, etc.
Security left aside, development environments have notoriously complex setups and often require significant maintenance because many applications and data are locally present on the device’s internal storage, for example the integrated development environment (IDE) and the application’s source code.
Hence, for these environments data protection against leaks will target locally stored assets, i.e. source code, credentials, and potentially sensitive data.
## Assessing the Risk of Locally Stored Data
Let’s first take a quick step back in ICT history and look at an oft-cited [2010 benchmark study is named The Billion Dollar Lost Laptop Problem](https://gato-docs.its.txst.edu/jcr:e9cb0ca7-e003-4b93-aab1-daab1bc9e1fe/The_Billion_Dollar_Lost_Laptop_Study.pdf). The study looks at 329 organizations over 12 months and reports that over 86,000 laptops were stolen or lost, resulting in a loss of 2.1 billion USD, an average of 6.4 million per organization.
In 2010, the use of the Cloud as a storage medium for corporate data was nascent, hence today, the metrics to determine the cost and impact of the loss of a corporate laptop would likely look very different.
For example, for many of the business functions that were likely to be impacted at that time, Cloud applications have brought today a solution by removing sensitive data from employees’ laptops. This has mostly shifted the discussion on laptop security to protecting the credentials required to access Cloud (or self-hosted) business resources, rather than protecting locally stored data itself.
_**Figure:** In 2024, most business productivity data has already moved to the cloud. Back in the 2010s, a notable move was CRM data, which ended up greatly reducing the risk for corporate data leaks._
There is, though, a notable exception to the above shift in technology: the environments used for code development. For practical reasons, devices used for development today have a replica of projects’ source code, in addition to corporate secrets such as credentials, web tokens, cryptographic keys and perhaps strategic data to train machine learning models or to test algorithms.
In other words, there is still plenty of interesting data stored locally in development environments that warrant protection against loss or theft. Therefore, the interest in securing development environments has not waned.
There are a variety of reasons for malicious actors to go after assets in these environments, from accessing corporate intellectual property ([see the hack of Grand Theft Auto 6](https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/09/20/grand-theft-auto-vi-leak-could-this-be-the-biggest-hack-in-gaming-history)), to understanding existing vulnerabilities of an application in order to compromise it in operation.
Once compromised, the application might provide access to sensitive data such as personal user information, including credit card numbers. See for example, [the source code hack at Samsung](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2022/09/02/samsung-has-been-hacked-what-data-has-been-stolen/?sh=4f67257039b9). The final intent here is again to leak potentially sensitive or personal data. Recent and notorious hacks of this kind were [password manager company LastPass’](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2022/08/25/lastpass-hacked-password-manager-with-25-million-users-confirms-breach/?sh=3d2f8b927d5a) and [Mercedes hack in early 2024](https://www.securityweek.com/leaked-github-token-exposed-mercedes-source-code/).
Despite all these potential downfalls resulting from the hacking of a single developer’s environment, few companies today can accurately determine where the replicas of their source code, secrets and data are (hint: likely all over the devices of their distributed workforce), and are poorly shielded against the loss of a laptop or a looming insider threat. Recall that, using any online or self-hosted source code repositories such as GitHub does not get rid of any of the replicas in developers’ environments. This is because local replicas are needed for developers to update the code before sending it back to the online Git repository. Hence protecting these environments is a problem that grows with the number of developers working in the organization.
## Use Cases for Virtual Desktops and Secure Developer Laptops
The desire to remove data from developers’ environments is prevalent across many regulated industries such as Finance and Insurance. One of the most common approaches is the use of development machines accessed remotely.
Citrix and VMware have been key actors in this market by enabling developers to remotely access virtual machines hosted by the organization. In addition, these platforms implement data loss prevention mechanisms that monitor user activities to prevent data exfiltration.
_**Figure:**_ _Left - Developers to remotely access virtual machines hosted by the organization. Right - Virtualization has evolved from emulating machines to processes, which is used as a staple for DevOps._
Running and accessing a virtual machine remotely for development has many drawbacks in particular on the developer’s productivity. One reason is because the streaming mechanism used to access the remote desktop requires significant bandwidth to be truly usable and often results in irritating lags when typing code.
The entire apparatus is also complex to set up as well as costly to maintain and operate for organization. In particular, the use of a virtual machine is quite a heavy mechanism which requires significant computational resources (hence cost) to run.
Finally, such a set-up is general-purpose, i.e. it is not designed in particular for code development and requires the installation of the entire development tool suite.
For the reasons explained above, many organizations have reverted to securing developer laptops using end-point security mechanisms implementing data loss prevention measures. In the same way as for the VDI counterpart, this is also often a costly solution because such laptops have complex setups. When onboarding remote development teams, organizations often send these laptops through the mail at great expense, which complicates the maintenance and monitoring process.
## The Case for Secure Cloud Development Environments
Recently, virtualization has evolved from emulating entire machines to the granularity of single processes with the technology of software containers. Containers are well-suited for code development because they provide a minimal and sufficient environment to compile typical applications, in particular web-based ones. Notably, in comparison to virtual machines, containers start in seconds instead of minutes and require much fewer computational resources to execute.
Containers are typically a tool used locally by developers on their devices to isolate software dependencies related to a specific project in a way that the source code can be compiled and executed without interference with potentially unwanted settings.
The great thing about containers is that they don’t have to remain a locally used development tool. They can be run online and used as an alternative to a virtual machine. This is the basic mechanism used to implement a Cloud Development Environment (CDE).
_**Figure:**_ _Containers can be run online and become a lightweight alternative to a virtual machine. This is the basic mechanism to implement [a Cloud Development Environment](https://strong.network/what-are-cdes)._
Running containers online has been one of the most exciting recent trends in virtualization aligned with DevOps practices where containers are critical to enable efficient testing and deployments. CDE are accessed online with an IDE via network connection (Microsoft Visual Studio Code has [such a feature as explained here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh)) or using a Cloud IDE (an IDE running in a web browser such as [Microsoft Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh), [Eclipse Theia](https://theia-ide.org/) and others.)
A Cloud IDE allows a developer to access a CDE with the benefit that no environment needs to be installed on the local device. Access to the remote container is done transparently. Compared to a remotely executing desktop as explained before, discomfort due to a streaming environment does not apply here since the IDE is executing as a web application in the browser. Hence the developer will not suffer display lags in particular in low bandwidth environments as is the case with VDI and DaaS. Bandwidth requirements between the IDE and the CDE are low because only text information is exchanged between the two.
_**Figure:**_ _Access to the remote container is done with an IDE running in a web browser, hence developers will not suffer display lags in particular in low bandwidth environments._
As a result, in the specific context of application development, the use of CDEs is a lightweight mechanism to remove development data from local devices. However, this still does not achieve the security delivered by Citrix and other VDI platforms, because CDEs are designed for efficiency and not for security. They do not provide any data loss prevention mechanism.
This is where the case to implement secure Cloud Development Environments lies: CDEs with data loss prevention provide a lightweight alternative to use of VDI or secure development laptops, with the additional benefit of an improved developer experience. The resulting platform is a [secure Cloud Development platform](https://strong.network/why-strong-network).
Using such a platform, organizations can significantly start to reduce the cost of provisioning secure development environments for their developers. In [this additional article](https://strong.network/article/made-cde-secure), I explain how such a platform is implemented.
**_Figure:_** _To become a replacement for VDIs or secure laptops, Cloud Development Environments need to include security measures against data leaks._
## Moving From Virtual Desktops to Secure Cloud Development Environments
As a conclusion to this discussion, below I briefly retrace the different steps to build the case for a secure Cloud-based development platform that combines the efficient infrastructure of CDE with end-to-end data protection against data exfiltration, leading to a secure CDE. This evolution is represented in the following figure.
In the early 2010s, secure developer laptops were used to directly access corporate resources sometimes using a VPN when outside the IT perimeter. According to the benchmark study that I mentioned at the beginning of this article, 41% of laptops routinely contained sensitive data according to the study that I mentioned at the beginning of this article.
At this time, the use of virtual machines and early access to web applications has allowed organizations to remove data from local laptop storage. But code development on remote virtual machines was and remains strenuous.
Around 2015, the use of lightweight virtualization based on containers has allowed quicker access to online development environments, but the focus of platforms in this space has been primarily on productivity.
Finally, a secure Cloud Development Environment platform as shown in the rightmost part of the figure below illustrates the closest incarnation of the secure development laptop.
Secure CDEs benefit from the experiences of pioneering companies like Citrix, seizing the chance to separate development environments from traditional hardware. This separation allows for a blend of infrastructure efficiency and security without compromising developers' experience.

1,892,663 | How We Went from 46 to 99 Performance Score to Improve Our Website Speed | `In 2018, Google announced that page speed from then on would be a ranking factor for both desktop... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:31:22 | https://dev.to/rodik/how-we-went-from-46-to-99-performance-score-to-improve-our-website-speed-2930 | programming, javascript, performance, softwaredevelopment | `In 2018, Google announced that page speed from then on would be a ranking factor for both desktop and mobile search results. But it's not only ranking that is influenced by page speed. According to research, a 3-second page loading time means a 13% bounce rate, so the page speed doesn't only impact the search results but the user experience as well.
So what do you do if your website is slow? Fixing website performance is not easy, which is why many companies do only minor optimizations just to keep their websites somewhere in search results. Our Brocoders's website ended up in the same situation. But unlike other businesses out there, we decided to eliminate every performance issue we had.
Keep reading to find out how we went from a 43 performance score to 99 and why (apart from being very proud of ourselves) having one of the fastest websites in the industry is worth the effort.
## Our starting point: what was the problem and why we had to solve it
The old Brocoders's site, live since 2011, served us well and we loved it very much as it was our first child. However, after several years we felt it was time for a change. That’s why in 2020 we decided to invest in a new website for our company.
_This is what the old Brocoders's website looked like. Forever in our hearts._
By rebuilding our website, we aimed to achieve three major goals:
1. Increase conversion rates through faster page loads, better UX, and higher-quality content.
2. Improve SEO and get better visibility in search engines.
3. Improve our brand image by introducing new portfolio projects and client reviews.
These goals guided us in deciding what features we had to add. Here is the essential functionality we came up with to achieve our goals:
- New highly flexible web pages with a great look and feel to demonstrate our services, industries, technologies, and case studies.
- Updated blog post pages with a search option, tags, and categories.
- 'Get in touch' and other forms to easily contact us.
- Numerous third-party integrations: Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, and Hubspot to name a few.
All in all, our goal was to build a secure static website. That’s why we chose GatsbyJS, a React framework that perfectly aligns with this goal.
Why Gatsby, you ask? The secret sauce behind [@GatsbyJS](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/) is its ability to transform web development into a seamless and fast experience, weaving together pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript during compilation. Developed with React, GatsbyJS also allowed us to create our own templates and components, using extensions from the React ecosystem.
Another thing we had to care about for the new website was the API backend. Our choice fell on [@Strapi](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/), an open-source content management system. Not only did it allow us to customize our data schemas and extend API functionality to manage different types of content like text, images, and videos, but also save us a great amount of time and money – with its user-friendly admin panel and additional features we didn't have to build it all from scratch.
Finally, for server requests, we used GraphQL. Perfect for collaboration with GatsbyJS, it lets us define the query structure and specify only the necessary fields and relationships, avoiding excessive data, which in turn leads to faster page loading time.
_The combination of technologies allowed us to achieve the perfect website stability and security_
Once done, the new website was there, gratifying us with higher rankings and renewed design. At first…But then, things gradually went downhill. After adding new pages, making numerous edits, and integrating third-party software, the codebase had become so heavy that our performance scores on Google's Lighthouse, a tool that analyzes web page speed, dropped drastically.
_Lighthouse scores that our website had before we started working on improvements_
With such a low score, Google wouldn’t rank us high. And even if it would, users wouldn’t wait until it loads.
[Ericsson Research](https://www.ericsson.com/assets/local/mobility-report/documents/2016/ericsson-mobility-report-feb-2016-interim.pdf) found that the level of stress from waiting for pages to load on mobile can be compared to watching a horror movie. When talking about performance, every second counts. We knew the pain, so we started improving our site’s performance right away.
## Improving website performance step by step
To achieve a significant performance boost, we analyzed the main website issues and started working on solving each of them. Here’s how we overcame the main challenges.
### 1. Accelerating network connections establishment by 2X
[GMetrics](https://gtmetrix.com/), a tool that shows website loading behavior, helped us identify resources from external domains that caused the longest connection times.
_In purple, you see the time it took for a Domain Name Server to receive the request for a domain name's IP address, and in light green, you see server connection time. They took too long, so we accelerated them by reducing server connection time._
To speed up our website, we made a few technical optimizations. First, we used Resource Hints, a method involving HTML `<link>` attributes. These hints help the browser proactively establish connections before making requests for resources from the server. For resources from external domains, we incorporated DNS-prefetch and pre-connect hints that instruct the browser in advance to set up connections with specified domains. Consequently, when the browser needs resources from external domains, they load quicker since the initial setup is already done.
For internal files like scripts and stylesheets, we applied "preloading" and "prefetch" hints. These hints ensure that when users move between pages on our site, the needed resources are loaded from their local cache, avoiding the need to fetch them from a distant server and making the process faster.
**These optimizations helped us shorten *Largest Contentful Paint from 2,9 seconds to 0,8 and *First Contentful Paint from 1 second to 0,6, allowing the browser to load resources as quickly as possible.**
*LCP, a [Core Web Vitals metric](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/core-web-vitals) that measures the time from when the user starts loading the page until the largest image appears in the viewport.
*FCP, the time from when the user first accesses the page to when the content is rendered on the screen.
### 2. Achieving better font loading with fast text rendering
On our website, we use both custom and open-source fonts. We host the open-source font "Manrope" from Google using the [Fontsource](https://fontsource.org/docs/getting-started/introduction) collection as this method is the fastest way to access a font.
However, there was a delay in loading the font package, even though the text was already retrieved from the HTML file. To avoid this disruption between text and font loading, our initial strategy was to show an invisible fallback font until our intended web font fully loads. It worked, but such an approach made the LCP metric longer, which is why we decided to change the strategy and opt for fast text rendering.
Here is how it works. First, the browser finds an available font within the declared font family and uses it to render the text. Then, after loading the original font, the browser seamlessly swaps the first font with the required one. It’s the fastest way to load fonts but this approach poses risks of unexpected text shifts because of changes in font size. To address layout shifts and improve the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS, a metric that measures how much the elements on a webpage move around unexpectedly as it loads), we applied [CSS Fonts Module Level 5](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-5/), a set of specifications that includes descriptors like _size-adjust_, _descent-override_, and _line-gap-override_, that helped us avoid shifts in page content.
_CSS Fonts Module Level 5 worked perfectly and now fonts change without any layout shift_
**As a result, three metrics – First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift improved. In particular, CLS was reduced from 0,143 to 0 seconds.**
### 3. Improving the loading of images and video
Another performance issue we had was enormous network payloads. Site testing revealed that we had to optimize the loading of images and videos, reducing their size without losing the quality.
_[Yellow Lab Tools](https://yellowlab.tools/) testing showed us that among all types of files videos and images overweighted our website the most_
On the website, we use two types of images – vector images (in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format) and raster images (in PNG and JPG formats). For each type we applied different optimization approaches.
#### 3.1 Optimization of vector images
Vector images are usually lightweight but the problem was that each image required a new HTTP request to load, which slowed down the performance. To address this, we decided to adopt inline SVG, a method that allows embedding the image directly into HTML. To achieve this, we adopted the ['gatsby-plugin-react-svg'](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-plugin-react-svg/), a Gatsby framework plugin that allowed us to abstract the process.
#### 3.2 Optimization of raster images
To accelerate the loading of PNG and JPG images, we converted them to the modern .webP format that ensures excellent compression with minimal quality loss. Similarly, we converted videos from .mp4 to .webM, ensuring more efficient compression and quality. Both .webP and .webM became our primary formats, but the old browser versions do not support them. To exclude this problem, we also left fallbacks to .png, .jpg, and .mp4 formats for browsers that don’t support .webP and .webM.
Next up, we had to optimize image display for different devices. Mobile, tablets, laptops, or 4K monitors require images of different dimensions, so uploading the same image for both phones and 4K monitors only made our website longer to load. That’s why we employed adaptive graphics. We included different image options in the code, letting the browser pick the best one based on things like window size, screen resolution, network speed, and other factors. Using packages like ['gatsby-background-image'](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-background-image/) and ['gatsby-image'](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-image/), we created various image variants for different devices. In the [Network tab](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/network/) screenshot below, you see the “Toggle device toolbar” where we switched between page display modes.
_This is where we toggled a device toolbar, optimizing image loading for different devices_
_Here you can see the same file with reduced size optimized for different devices_
#### 3.3 Lazy loading for behind-the-scenes images
Finally, we leveraged lazy loading with a blurred image effect to ensure images load only when the user sees them, optimizing the experience for users with limited data plans or slower internet connections.
_This is how the lazy loading of images works_
The results were worth all the sweat – we significantly reduced the weight of the images on the website without sacrificing quality.
_After improvements, Yellow Lab Tools shows that the video – not surprisingly – still takes a larger portion of the page's weight but the weight of images has significantly decreased (purple section)_
**The optimizations greatly improved user experience and metrics like CLS and LCP. Thanks to using image optimization plugins exclusively from the Gatsby ecosystem, we made it easier to optimize performance.**
### 4. Optimizing caching
We have to confess that caching, a technique where the web server retains a copy of the web page, was initially overlooked during the website development. It was truly a missed opportunity because effective caching would help us speed up the website and reduce server load. We decided to catch up with cache optimization but faced several specific challenges.
Our goal was to fasten the loading of resources by keeping them saved for future visits instead of downloading them every time. To achieve this, we employed the 'cache-control' attribute in the HTTP header and set the time for how long the file should stay in the cache. But then another issue appeared. When we made updates to the website content or design, the changes wouldn't show up immediately because the browser kept using the old saved copy.
How did we solve it? We added a hash to the file names, which updates with every file edit. This way, we could keep files in the cache for a long time but still make changes easily. As a result, the First Contentful Paint (FCP) metric went from high to medium.
Now, we're considering another type of caching called browser caching. Unlike server caching, which requires a constant server connection and uses bandwidth to load the response, browser caching allows users to access the webpage without a network connection. But it also has its limitations – if the user's device is running out of storage space, the browser might delete older stuff to make room for new things.
_For you to get a better idea, here is a comparison of how server-side caching and client-side caching work_
### 5. Eliminating large JavaScript bundles
Bundles are simply collections of files, usually JavaScript, CSS, and other assets, grouped in a single file for more efficient delivery. As our website grew in complexity, the size of our bundles continued to expand, overweighting the website. It was high time to identify problem areas and get rid of them.
There are some handy tools for identifying and addressing problematic bundles. One of them, [Bundlephobia](https://bundlephobia.com/), gives insights into how much an NPM package contributes to bundle size, helping avoid too large collections of files. [Import Cost](https://github.com/wix/import-cost), a VSCode Extension, calculates the 'cost' of imported packages, helping to make informed decisions. As part of our optimization strategy, we've swapped out hefty JS libraries, such as replacing the widely-used 'classnames' package with the more efficient ['clsx'](https://github.com/lukeed/clsx/tree/4c9a55df075eb96d968e09e56cfa3ba57a5bbdca/bench), a faster and smaller drop-in replacement tailored to our website needs.
Then, with the [Webpack Bundle Analyzer](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer) plugin, we discovered problematic areas in bundles.
_Bundle Analyzer highlighted our biggest bundles – client-location and map-with-flashing-dots_
To break down these piles of files, we split big bundles into smaller parts using code-splitting and lazy-loading. Webpack's built-in code-splitting feature allowed us to transform the import command into a function that points to a file path instead of directly importing files. This creates a promise, which is like a commitment that the file will be loaded. When a similar structure appears in the code, this promise is fulfilled, and the file is uploaded.
For non-critical view, HTML, and JS, we used dynamic imports which let us reduce the initial size of the webpage. Dynamic here means that the website decides whether to load additional files based on specific conditions, making sure it doesn't disrupt the user experience.
_Here’s the result of our optimizations: a streamlined loading with no isolated large bundles_
**After splitting large bundles into smaller parts, we successfully lightened the page and eliminated all large file collections.**
### 6. Minimizing HTML and CSS with code compression
Code compression was a game-changer for us. By shrinking the code and removing unnecessary white spaces, we achieved smaller file sizes, lightning-fast downloads, and reduced bandwidth consumption. Now our server delivers website files in a gzip format, making it faster and significantly improving important metrics like FCP and FID (First Input Delay, a metric that quantifies the delay between the first click and the browser's response) from low to medium performance levels.
### 7. Code quality and memory leaks
Finally, we reviewed our code and discovered some sneaky memory leaks. The problem was that objects were still in memory even when they were no longer needed, resulting in a cluttered space.
To fix this, we applied two methods. If the event listener (a mechanism that awaits specific occurrences, such as user interactions or system events, and responds accordingly) is only needed once, we use the {only: true} parameter. It ensures that after the listener is triggered, it's automatically removed, preventing any memory issues. As for the second method, we made sure to explicitly remove event listeners using the removeEventListener() function. We did this before removing the element or when the listeners were no longer needed. This ensured a clean disconnection between elements and functions, avoiding memory leaks.
Another thing related to addEventListener is using the { passive: true } parameter. We adopted it for scrolling, avoiding interface hiccups, and ensuring a smoother user experience.
```
useEffect(() => {
setScrolled(document.documentElement.scrollTop > 50);
window.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll, { passive: true });
return () => {
document.body.style.overflowY = 'scroll';
window.removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
};
}, []);
```
## Before and after: how performance boost impacted our website
Truth be told, our starting point was far from good – a website wrestling with sluggish load times and an overloaded server that drastically impacted the user experience. But armed with insights and optimization techniques, we did our best and received impressive results. Were we happy with them? Absolutely.
_[PageSpeed Insight](https://pagespeed.web.dev/) handed us a shiny report card, showcasing significant improvements_
_The testing of the 28-day performance showed impressive results – all metrics were improved several times compared with the starting point_
All these improvements wouldn’t be possible without hours and days of dedicated work, but there was something else that greatly contributed to our success – the right tools. Some instruments saved us a lot of time during the work and we can’t help but mention them.
## Tools for performance optimization: PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse
In performance analysis and improvement, two Google instruments stand out: [PageSpeed Insights](https://pagespeed.web.dev/) and [Lighthouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview). These tools analyze various aspects of a web page to provide insights into its speed, user experience, and overall performance. Here are the metrics that they both consider:
- **Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)** - measures the time it takes for the largest content element (such as an image or text block) in the viewport to become visible to the user.
- **First Contentful Paint (FCP)** - measures the time it takes for the browser to render the first piece of content, such as text or an image.
- **First Input Delay (FID)** - measures the delay between a user's first interaction (such as clicking a button) and the browser's response to that interaction.
- **Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)** - measures the sum of all individual layout shift scores that occur during the page's lifespan. A layout shift occurs when visible elements on a page move unexpectedly.
- **Interaction to Next Paint (INP)** - measures the time it takes for the browser to respond to user interactions (such as clicks or taps) by updating the visual content on the page.
- **Time to First Byte (TTFB)** - measures the time it takes for the browser to receive the first byte of data from the server after a request is made.
- **Total Blocking Time (TBT)** - measures the total amount of time during which the main thread of the browser is blocked and unable to respond to user input.
- **TTI (Time To Interactive)** - measures the time it takes for a page to become fully interactive, meaning all necessary resources are loaded, and the page responds promptly to user input.
- **FID (First Input Delay)** - measures the delay between a user's first interaction and the browser's response to that interaction.
You can use either of these tools to get insights into your website's performance. Lighthouse is more flexible and provides more detailed information. PageSpeed Insights, on the other hand, focuses on monitoring the performance of individual pages.
The most commonly used, these two aren’t the only tools we recommend. Here are a couple of resources you’ll find useful in your performance optimization journey.
## Bonus tools for a deeper dive
[GTMetrix](https://gtmetrix.com/): a powerhouse that not only audits pages but also visualizes loading in a digestible format, making performance improvements tangible.
[Yellow Lab Tools](https://yellowlab.tools/): an insightful dashboard that classifies and evaluates dozens of metrics. It not only pinpoints issues but also provides detailed recommendations for optimization.
These tools have been our guiding lights, helping us enhance performance and offer a superior user experience. Keep them in mind when you start to improve your website performance.
## Bottom line
If your business depends on the website, you can’t sleep on its performance. This factor can move you to the top of the Google results or, on the contrary, make your users leave for faster websites that give them a better experience. To help you avoid this scenario, we shared the story of our website transformation.
Our performance odyssey isn't over as there will always be room for improvement. Lately, we've been noticing that GatsbyJS is experiencing not the best times and we are deliberating about switching to NextJS. But this is the subject of the other article.
But like there are no identical businesses, there is no single instruction on how to improve your site performance. Every case is unique and you need to address the challenges that pose the issue in your case. Not an easy task to do, but we can help. If you want to give your website a performance boost, [drop us a note](https://brocoders.com/get-in-touch/), and we’ll see what we can do for you.

This... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:28:42 | https://dev.to/zoltan_fehervari_52b16d1d/a-very-quick-review-on-ragdoll-physics-in-video-games-29j1 | ragdollphysics, gamephysics, gamedev, gaming | Have you ever noticed how characters in video games react realistically to falls or impacts? This lifelike motion is due to ragdoll physics, a technology that simulates character and object movements based on physical principles.
## What is Ragdoll Physics?
[Ragdoll physics](https://bluebirdinternational.com/ragdoll-physics/) simulates realistic movements by breaking down a character into multiple parts and applying physical rules to each part. This creates more lifelike animations, accounting for factors like weight, gravity, and momentum.
## How Does It Work?
In video games, characters are divided into parts, and physics engines calculate how these parts move and interact with the environment. This ensures realistic character reactions to various forces and impacts.
## Key Principles
Ragdoll physics relies on Newton’s laws of motion, describing how objects interact with their environment. For example, when a character jumps, the physics engine calculates the force, weight, and gravity effect, resulting in a natural-looking jump.
## Importance in Realism
Ragdoll physics enhances realism by allowing characters to react dynamically to their surroundings. Instead of following pre-determined animations, characters respond to forces and impacts in real-time, providing a more engaging and immersive experience.
## Procedural Animation
Ragdoll physics is a type of procedural animation, creating dynamic and realistic character movements through algorithms rather than manual animation. This integration often blends with keyframe or motion capture animations for seamless transitions, as seen in games like “Assassin’s Creed.”
## History and Evolution
Ragdoll physics debuted in “Hitman: Codename 47” (1997) and evolved with advanced physics engines in games like “Max Payne” (2002) and “Half-Life 2” (2004). Continuous refinements have led to realistic character movements in today’s games.
## Future Trends
Future advancements include AI integration for dynamic environmental reactions, advanced collision algorithms for lifelike movements, and soft-body physics for realistic details. Virtual and augmented reality will further enhance immersive experiences. | zoltan_fehervari_52b16d1d |
1,893,417 | Is it ok to send plain-text password over HTTPS? How to pass credentials over network layer from Front - end | Sending "plaintext" passwords over HTTPS is standard practice. Due to the encryption provided by TLS,... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:26:50 | https://dev.to/zeeshanali0704/best-practices-for-rest-api-security-authentication-and-authorization-36gf | http, https, security, webapplication | Sending "plaintext" passwords over HTTPS is standard practice. Due to the encryption provided by TLS, the passwords are not actually sent in plaintext.
To secure a REST API accessible on the internet, you should follow these best practices:
## Always Use TLS/SSL
Every web API should utilize TLS (Transport Layer Security), which encrypts the data transmitted between the client and server. TLS, often referred to by its predecessor's name, SSL, ensures that sensitive information like API credentials and private data are protected from interception by third parties. Websites with TLS enabled have URLs that start with https:// instead of http://.
TLS requires a certificate from a certificate authority, which also verifies the legitimacy of your API. Many cloud providers and hosting services manage certificates and enable TLS for you. If you're managing your own web server, you can use Let's Encrypt to easily obtain and manage your certificates.
## Password Hashing: Server-Side vs. Client-Side
The recommended approach is to hash passwords on the server side, just before storing them in the database. This is the safest and most preferred method. While you can hash passwords on the client side for additional security, it is generally unnecessary. Client-side hashing only makes sense if you do not trust the server and do not want to expose the actual password to it.
## Transmitting Login Credentials
When sending login credentials (username and password) to the server API, ensure that you:
1. Transmit the form data in the POST body to avoid caching and logging.
2. Use HTTPS to prevent password interception through network traffic observation.
By following these practices, you enhance the security of your REST API and protect sensitive user information during transmission. | zeeshanali0704 |

These valves are typically used in industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing, where handling abrasive or viscous materials is common. The knife gate design enables reliable operation in demanding environments where traditional valves might be prone to clogging or damage.
A slurry knife gate valve is designed with a robust structure and a sharpened gate that moves horizontally to control the flow of abrasive slurries. When closed, the gate presses against a seat to seal off the flow, preventing the passage of solids and liquids. Opening the valve raises or retracts the gate to allow the slurry to flow through. This design minimizes clogging and ensures effective handling of viscous or abrasive materials commonly found in industries like mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing. The valve's construction is typically resistant to wear and corrosion, enhancing durability and reliability in harsh environments. Regular maintenance of the gate and seat ensures continued efficient operation, making slurry knife gate valves essential for managing challenging slurry applications.
How does it work ?
A slurry knife gate valve operates by using a sharpened gate or blade to control the flow of abrasive or viscous slurries. In the closed position, the gate presses against a seat within the valve body, creating a tight seal that prevents the passage of solids and liquids. To open the valve, the gate is lifted or moved aside, allowing the slurry to flow through. This design effectively cuts through the slurry, minimizing the risk of clogging and ensuring smooth flow control. Slurry knife gate valves are particularly suited for industries where handling difficult materials is common, such as mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing. Their robust construction and specialized design make them reliable for applications where standard valves may fail due to abrasive wear or particle entrapment.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrows play a crucial role in framing your face and enhancing your overall appearance. Well-groomed eyebrows can dramatically change your look, making you appear more polished and put-together. With a variety of <a href="https://myhealthydermis.com/"><strong>eyebrow treatment</strong></a> available, achieving the perfect brow shape and fullness has never been easier. This guide will walk you through the most popular eyebrow treatments, their benefits, and how to choose the best one for your needs.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Importance of Eyebrows</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrows are not just a beauty trend; they are a fundamental aspect of facial symmetry and expression. The right eyebrow shape can:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Balance facial features</strong>: Properly shaped eyebrows can complement your eyes, nose, and mouth.</li>
<li><strong>Enhance expressions</strong>: Eyebrows are key in conveying emotions and expressions.</li>
<li><strong>Boost confidence</strong>: Well-groomed brows can make you feel more confident and attractive.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Popular Eyebrow Treatments</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With advancements in beauty techniques, there are several options to choose from when it comes to eyebrow treatments. Here are some of the most popular ones:</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">1. <strong>Eyebrow Shaping</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrow shaping involves removing excess hair to create a clean, defined brow shape. Common methods include:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Tweezing</strong>: Using tweezers to pluck stray hairs. This method is precise but can be time-consuming and painful.</li>
<li><strong>Waxing</strong>: Applying hot wax to unwanted hair and removing it with cloth strips. Waxing provides a clean, long-lasting shape but can be harsh on sensitive skin.</li>
<li><strong>Threading</strong>: Using a twisted cotton thread to remove hair. Threading is precise and suitable for sensitive skin, but it requires skill and can be slightly uncomfortable.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">2. <strong>Eyebrow Tinting</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrow tinting involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the brows to enhance their color and give them a fuller appearance. This treatment is ideal for those with light or sparse brows. Tinting typically lasts 3-6 weeks, depending on hair growth and maintenance.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">3. <strong>Microblading</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that uses a fine blade to create hair-like strokes on the skin. This treatment is perfect for those who want to achieve a natural, fuller brow look. Results can last 1-2 years with proper care.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">4. <strong>Eyebrow Lamination</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrow lamination is a non-invasive treatment that sets the brow hairs in place, creating a fuller and more defined look. It involves applying a chemical solution to straighten the hairs, followed by a setting lotion. The results last about 6-8 weeks and are great for taming unruly brows.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">5. <strong>Eyebrow Henna</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Henna tinting uses natural henna dye to color the brow hairs and skin underneath, providing a more defined and filled-in look. It lasts longer than regular tinting, about 4-6 weeks, and is a great option for those who prefer natural products.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Choosing the Right <a href="https://myhealthydermis.com/">Eyebrow Treatment</a></h3>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://myhealthydermis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/gallery.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Selecting the best eyebrow treatment depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and desired look. Here are some tips to help you choose the right one:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Consider Your Skin Type</strong>: If you have sensitive skin, opt for gentler methods like threading or henna tinting.</li>
<li><strong>Think About Maintenance</strong>: Some treatments require more upkeep than others. Microblading, for example, needs touch-ups every 1-2 years, while tinting may need to be redone every month.</li>
<li><strong>Assess Your Desired Look</strong>: For a natural, everyday look, tinting or threading might be sufficient. For a more dramatic, long-lasting effect, microblading or lamination could be better options.</li>
<li><strong>Consult a Professional</strong>: Speak with a licensed eyebrow specialist to discuss your goals and get personalized advice. They can recommend the best treatment based on your brow shape, hair type, and skin tone.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Aftercare Tips</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Proper aftercare is essential to maintain the results of your eyebrow treatment. Here are some general tips:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Avoid Touching</strong>: Refrain from touching or rubbing your brows immediately after treatment.</li>
<li><strong>Stay Hydrated</strong>: Keep the skin around your eyebrows moisturized to prevent dryness and irritation.</li>
<li><strong>Protect from Sun</strong>: Use sunscreen on your brows to protect the skin and hair from UV damage.</li>
<li><strong>Follow Instructions</strong>: Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by your brow technician.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Final Thoughts</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eyebrow treatments can significantly enhance your appearance, boosting your confidence and helping you achieve your desired look. Whether you prefer the precision of threading, the fullness of tinting, or the long-lasting effects of microblading, there’s a treatment out there for everyone. By understanding your options and choosing the right treatment, you can enjoy beautifully groomed eyebrows that frame your face perfectly. Invest in professional eyebrow care, and let your brows elevate your beauty game to new heights.</p>

If you want to read all the story and have more details about my experience with the project go to [Experience with the project](#experience-with-the-project) or if you just want to see the general results of the project read below:
## **Project Overview**
- **Project Name:** CIT-S3-FILES-UPLOADER
- **Duration:** 11 Hrs 39 Mins
- **Team Members:** Solo
- **Objective:** Learn how to use AWS S3 Service
## **Goals and Objectives**
- **Original Goals:** How to use AWS S3 Service
- **Were the Goals Met?:** Yes, I have a better understanding on what is the general process for using AWS S3 on a NUXT app.
## **Project Management**
- **Project Tracking Tools:** WakaTime for the coding hours, github issues, and nothing more
- **Were Deadlines Met?:** No, I have to take more time that the expected because I didn’t take in mind that I never have used Nuxt for past apps.
- **Reasons for Missed Deadlines (if any):** Because I didn’t take in mind the time to learn the new technologies used in the project
## **Technical Overview**
- **Technologies Used:**
- Nuxt (Frontend and backend)
- PostgreSQL for saving information related with the user and the images
- AWS S3 for store the resources
- **Technical Challenges:**
- Use Nuxt (First project ever made using this technology, I have previous experience with vue and nodejs)
- **Solutions to Technical Challenges:**
- Search for information on official sites like nuxt documentation, aws documentation, alongside watch some tutorials for get a guide in how to do somethings.
## **Lessons Learned**
- **What Went Well:**
- The challenge to learn new things on this project (Nuxt and how to interact with S3)
- **What Could Have Gone Better:**
- Considering the time to learn the new things in the deadlines for the project.
- Take more time for planning the project
- **Improvements for Future Projects:**
- Time for planning the project
- A new perspective of how to use some cloud technologies for solving some problems (storage for example)
## **Recommendations for Future Projects**
- **Recommended Changes in Process:**
- Search for a methodology for improve the way for creating the project
- Search for content about how to estimate better the projects
- **Recommended Changes in Tools and Technologies:**
- Try a 70-20 approach for the next project (70% of the technologies used I need to have previous experience with, 20% new and 10% for improvements or changes)
## Experience with the project
This project was created for learn how to use S3 and when I was selecting the stack for the app, I wanted to work with something similar to `Nextjs`, the reason for not choosing next was to find an alternative that have a good developer experience when running the Development environment.
And because I have previous experience with `vue` I decide to try `Nuxt`. So the project stack ended like the below image
Also one thing that I don’t intend to do at first, but have to, was to add users to the app. So it’s now time to look at the project structure.
Because we are using Nuxt, the folders and files structures follows the framework structure.
The project it’s made with typescrip and tailwinds css, this time I don’t use an external UI Component library like `PrimeVue` , `flowbite` or similar.
## Nuxt experience
My general thoughts about nuxt js (at least with this project) are:
- Good development server
- Good documentation
- My major problem was to adapt to how nuxt do the things, sometimes I go on automatic and tried to do how are in Nextjs
## S3 experience
It was more easy that I expect, my expectation was that I will have more troubles using S3 on nuxt and that will cost me more time. But with the documentation of AWS and some videos for learning about IAM and see how to do an integration with Nextjs, becomes more like how to adapt what I see to my current problem and modify the things that I don’t liked
## Database
In this project I did something different, instead to going to the typical ORM for the queries and building of the tables, I decide to use RAW SQL, just because feel like a small project where I can try more tools of sql, like triggers, views, stored procedures and functions.
Here is the script for creating the database tables
```sql
CREATE TABLE users(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
username varchar(255),
PASSWORD varchar(255)
);
CREATE TABLE images_list(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
id_user int,
name varchar(255)
);
ALTER TABLE images_list
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_USERS FOREIGN KEY (id_user)
REFERENCES users(id)
CREATE TABLE translog (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
username varchar(255),
file_name varchar(255),
stamp timestamp DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
```
With this tables I create a store procedure for create users
```sql
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE
cit_create_user(
p_username varchar(255),
p_password varchar(255)
)
LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
DECLARE repeated INT;
BEGIN
-- Validate if the passed username is valid
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO repeated FROM users u
WHERE u.username = p_username;
IF repeated >= 1 THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'username_already_taken';
END IF;
INSERT INTO users(username, password) VALUES(p_username, p_password);
END
$$;
```
This for mention somethings related to the database, in general the PostgreSQL instance where more related to store the name of the files being upload and being linked to the correct user just to be able to retrieve them from S3.
## Final words
The app ended being really funny to work on, I wasn’t expecting that the project ended up taking me more that 5 hours, I swear that with 2-4 hours will be enough, bud I minimize the time that can take to adapt to a new stack, I will consider this for further projects.

1,893,323 | How to Find Great Cheap Domains | Choosing a domain name is trickier than you’d think. My experience navigating this hurdle taught me... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:04:30 | https://dev.to/martinbaun/how-to-find-great-cheap-domains-e52 | productivity, career, learning, startup | Choosing a domain name is trickier than you’d think. My experience navigating this hurdle taught me valuable lessons and tips that I’m happy to share to make it easier for you.
Let’s discuss the hurdles you’ll face and the tips to overcome them.
## Starting with the name
Every tech project starts with the name or domain name. This is trickier than naming your new coffee spot. There are two obvious reasons:
- *Most of the short domains are occupied*
- *Most of the free short domains are expensive*
I mulled over several excellent domain names for the companies we've supported. These are great concepts that work for us as we develop software from scratch:
- *Easy to remember. It helps the user to find you again.*
- *Spelling. Correctly and effortlessly making it easier to go viral.*
- *Be cautious with funny terms. It helps, but not necessary.*
- *Don't get too fancy.*
These tips should help you get free, cheap, and memorable domain names.
## Choosing the right domain name
These tips should help you pick an optimal domain name.
### Avoid domain names with hyphens
New websites tend to prioritize the '.com' extension in their name as it's the most popular and prized of the lot. This suffix is so overused, and chances are a company exists with a similar name to yours, ending with '.com.' This makes website owners consider adding a hyphen to differentiate their domain. This creates a few problems:
- The general population is used to domains without hyphens. Hyphenated names are hard to recall and advertise due to the extra character.
- Visitors entering the domain may inadvertently drive traffic to your competitors.
- Hyphens look amateurish, making your domain name less 'clean' or simple.
- Hyphenated names are less SEO-friendly.
Choosing a unique name that captures your brand without hyphenation is better, regardless of the time it takes.
>Read: *[The Utility of Websites in Your Business](https://martinbaun.com/blog/posts/the-utility-of-websites-in-your-business/)*
### Avoid domain names with numbers
Most experts advise against including digits in your domain. Like hyphens, they can also create confusion. Someone must decide whether to write the number in numeral or word form. They also must discern, for example, '2' and 'two' or '4' and 'four.' Each of the examples used here means different things. Keep things simple. Avoid numbers.
### Settle for a .com top-level domain
It's not necessary to only choose a '.com' extension. We see a range of unusual top-level domains (TLDs) like 'XYZ,' 'io,' 'co,' and 'ai' used by well-known companies. '.com' remains the most familiar to internet users. It's one of the oldest TLDs. It's trustworthy and rolls off the tongue. '.com’ remains the gold-standard domain name, though it's not readily available. Using a different TLD doesn’t spell the end for your business. These can be great for niche businesses. For instance, '.io' for technology companies, '.org' for non-profits, 'ai' for artificial intelligence enterprises.' You can opt for a country code TLD, e.g., '.uk' for the United Kingdom or '.us' for the United States if your business serves a geographical area.
### Uncomplicated word
Look for a word you like that's simple and matches your business and client's request. Don't limit yourself, but also don't go too wide. You could look up "SEO," "writing," or "content" if you have a writing studio. You can find all sorts of available synonyms on Google or with the help of a thesaurus.
### Omit funny or multiple spelling words
Unusual spellings are not recommended when registering domain names. Your brand name should pass the 'radio test.' Someone hearing it aloud should be able to remember, spell, and pronounce it. Unconventionally spelled domain names are hard to market and may look suspicious when printed. Avoid 'disemvoweling.' This is the trend of removing vowels from terms, e.g., Flickr and Tumblr. This is something that works for well-established brands. Steer clear of words people can interpret in various ways or spell differently. For instance, 'fair' can mean impartial, describing a person's skin complexion or a gathering of stalls and amusements. It’s also a homonym. Someone may assume the word is 'fare' (which has a different meaning).
>Read: *[Businesses to start as a software developer.](https://martinbaun.com/blog/posts/businesses-to-start-as-a-software-developer/)*
### Brainstorm to find a word that suits your business
Brainstorming is very useful when planning to buy a domain name or searching for free domain names. Investing the time to create something brilliant can give you an edge. The key is striking a balance between not being too narrow or wide. The first option is using a free domain generator like Namelix. A thesaurus can also work well if you prefer the more 'academic' route. Be prepared to come up with several titles. Your first choice will likely be taken, given that hundreds of millions of names are already registered.
Here are other pointers for brainstorming:
- Your domain should somehow reflect what your niche, service, or product is about. The only exception is when your brand is already established.
- An excellent domain name should be unique and not easily confused with another company (to avoid infringement).
### Combine the root word with either prefixes or suffixes
Adding a prefix or suffix to your domain is a neat trick to increase your chance of securing the elusive '.com' extension. Find a short, relevant verb, adjective, or noun to add before or after your brand name. Let's assume your company is a gym, and you want your domain to be 'gym.com.' If this domain is taken, you could create something like 'gogym.com,' 'wegym.com,' 'gymfreaks.com,' etc.
### Choose reliable and well-known registrars’
I'd recommend Porkbun and Namecheap. Porkbun is smaller but offers excellent customer service. Namecheap is the older registrar, but their client support isn't as good as Porkbun. This is characteristic of larger companies. Smaller or newer companies lack the customer support you find with established and larger companies. The latter is also likely to stay in business for long.
### Register your domain for at least two years
Consider registering your domain for at least two years. Here are the reasons why:
### _Lock in a lower price_
The cost is cheaper when you pay for it over an extended period. Bi-annual registration is the way to go.
### _Save time and hassle_
Registering your domain name bi-annually means you save time and hassle from doing it yearly. It assures you of keeping it longer, preventing anyone else from claiming it.
### _SEO benefits_
Google rewards longevity. Using the same domain name for at least two years makes you more credible.
## What constitutes a good domain?
Here’s a summary of what constitutes a good domain name.
### _Easy to remember and spell_
Most businesses only cater to some audiences. Your name should be simple to remember, spell, and type for the average person. One way to achieve this is to keep it short and sweet - no more than four words or 15 characters. It is easier for visitors to make typos with lengthier domains, leading to lower conversion and traffic loss.

### _Uniqueness and brand-ability_
Any company wants to stand out for its customers or clients. This isn't possible with a name similar to an existing one. You’d also be avoiding copyright issues down the line. Picking a unique name satisfies these two points.
Aside from uniqueness, pick a name that is brandable or expandable. Let's take Amazon, for instance. The corporation began by selling books as its first product. It would have been harder to market the brand if they named it something like 'bookworm.com.'
Jeff Bezos called his company 'Amazon' due to the massive collection of books he sold. We can interpret the term to mean a range of other products. This domain allowed the brand to expand into an unlimited number of industries. Always think of the long-term potential and pick a name that's adaptable to changes down the road.
### _Pick a popular top-level domain_
We’ve spoken of the importance of '.com.' There are other generic and SEO-friendly top-level domain extensions to choose from If you can't find a domain with this extension. Such examples include:
- .net
- .co
- .io
### _Keywords for SEO_
Adding a popular keyword in your domain name helps for SEO purposes. Have your creative juices flowing to ensure the name isn't generic.
## Domain Generator and Porkbun
I created the domain generator, an excellent tool that [generates multiple domain names.](https://martinbaun.com/blog/domain_generator) It takes any name you key in and gives you multiple variations of potential domain names to choose from. I combine this with the Porkbun AI name-generator tool for the next step.
The Porkbun AI name-generator tool handles hundreds of name variations, allowing you to mix and match the domains you’ve generated from the domain name generator. This creates excellent variants of names that you can use for your domain.
I take this further by using a thesaurus tool to utilize synonyms for domain keywords. You can choose a great synonym and use it as your domain keyword. You can input it on the domain generator tool to generate excellent domains and use the Porkbun AI tool to create a great domain name.
These three tools work in harmony and can be utilized to acquire a great cheap domain.
## How I do it professionally
A domain name is only a small part of establishing your online presence. Starting on the right foot can offer an edge in boosting your rankings over time. A well-crafted domain makes you stand out and offers confidence to your brand. With a bit of creativity and our tips, you'll find a fantastic domain name.

1,893,326 | A Comprehensive Guide to Big O Notation and Efficient Coding Practices with Examples | In the world of software development, algorithms play a crucial role in solving complex problems... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:08:15 | https://dev.to/sanukhandev/a-comprehensive-guide-to-big-o-notation-and-efficient-coding-practices-with-examples-44n2 | webdev, javascript, beginners, programming |
In the world of software development, algorithms play a crucial role in solving complex problems efficiently. Whether you are preparing for a coding interview or working on real-world applications, a strong understanding of algorithms is essential. This article explores the basics of algorithms, their importance, and how to analyze their efficiency using the knapsack problem as a key example. We will also delve into the importance of time and space complexity in algorithm design, with detailed examples in JavaScript.
## Understanding Algorithms
An algorithm is essentially a sequence of steps designed to solve a specific problem. These steps need to be clear, unambiguous, and designed to handle the given input to produce the desired output. For developers, the ability to craft efficient algorithms is vital as it directly impacts the performance and scalability of the software they create.
**Example: Basic Algorithm for Finding Maximum Number**
Let's consider a simple algorithm to find the maximum number in an array of integers:
1. Initialize a variable `max` with the first element of the array.
2. Iterate through each element of the array.
3. If the current element is greater than `max`, update `max`.
4. After the loop ends, `max` contains the maximum number.
Here's how this looks in JavaScript code:
```javascript
function findMax(arr) {
let maxNum = arr[0];
for (let num of arr) {
if (num > maxNum) {
maxNum = num;
}
}
return maxNum;
}
const numbers = [3, 5, 7, 2, 8];
console.log(findMax(numbers)); // Output: 8
```
This algorithm has a time complexity of O(n) because it requires a single pass through the array.
## The Knapsack Problem
One classic example often used in interviews is the knapsack problem. In this problem, you are given a list of items, each with a value and a weight, and a bag that can carry a maximum weight. The objective is to select the items that maximize the total value without exceeding the bag's weight capacity. This problem not only tests your problem-solving skills but also your ability to write efficient code.
**Example: Solving the Knapsack Problem**
There are different approaches to solve the knapsack problem, including:
1. **Greedy Algorithm**: This approach works for the fractional knapsack problem but not for the 0/1 knapsack problem.
2. **Dynamic Programming**: This is the most efficient approach for the 0/1 knapsack problem.
**Dynamic Programming Solution:**
```javascript
function knapsack(weights, values, capacity) {
const n = weights.length;
const dp = Array(n + 1).fill().map(() => Array(capacity + 1).fill(0));
for (let i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
for (let w = 0; w <= capacity; w++) {
if (i === 0 || w === 0) {
dp[i][w] = 0;
} else if (weights[i - 1] <= w) {
dp[i][w] = Math.max(values[i - 1] + dp[i - 1][w - weights[i - 1]], dp[i - 1][w]);
} else {
dp[i][w] = dp[i - 1][w];
}
}
}
return dp[n][capacity];
}
const weights = [1, 2, 3, 5];
const values = [1, 6, 10, 16];
const capacity = 7;
console.log(knapsack(weights, values, capacity)); // Output: 22
```
This algorithm has a time complexity of O(n * capacity), which is efficient for reasonable input sizes.
## What is Time Complexity and Big O Notation ?
To evaluate the efficiency of an algorithm, we use time complexity, which describes how the running time of an algorithm increases with the size of the input. Some common types of time complexities are:
- **Linear Time (O(n))**: The running time increases linearly with the input size.
- **Constant Time (O(1))**: The running time is constant regardless of the input size.
- **Logarithmic Time (O(log n))**: The running time increases logarithmically with the input size.
- **Quadratic Time (O(n²))**: The running time increases quadratically with the input size.
- **Exponential Time (O(2^n))**: The running time doubles with each additional element in the input.
Big O notation is a mathematical representation used to describe the upper bound of an algorithm's running time, helping developers compare the efficiency of different algorithms.
**Examples:**
1. **Constant Time (O(1))**:
```javascript
function getFirstElement(arr) {
return arr[0];
}
```
This function always takes the same amount of time to execute, regardless of the array size.
2. **Linear Time (O(n))**:
```javascript
function sumArray(arr) {
let total = 0;
for (let num of arr) {
total += num;
}
return total;
}
```
The time it takes to execute this function increases linearly with the size of the input array.
3. **Logarithmic Time (O(log n))**:
```javascript
function binarySearch(arr, target) {
let left = 0;
let right = arr.length - 1;
while (left <= right) {
const mid = Math.floor((left + right) / 2);
if (arr[mid] === target) {
return mid;
} else if (arr[mid] < target) {
left = mid + 1;
} else {
right = mid - 1;
}
}
return -1;
}
```
Binary search has a logarithmic time complexity because it divides the problem size in half with each iteration.
4. **Quadratic Time (O(n²))**:
```javascript
function bubbleSort(arr) {
let n = arr.length;
for (let i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < n - i - 1; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
let temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
return arr;
}
```
The time it takes to execute bubble sort increases quadratically with the size of the input array.
## What is Space Complexity ?
Space complexity refers to the amount of memory an algorithm uses relative to the input size. Like time complexity, space complexity is also expressed using Big O notation. Understanding space complexity is crucial for designing algorithms that are not only fast but also memory efficient.
**Examples:**
1. **Constant Space (O(1))**:
```javascript
function swap(a, b) {
let temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
```
This function uses a fixed amount of space regardless of the input size.
2. **Linear Space (O(n))**:
```javascript
function duplicateArray(arr) {
let newArr = [];
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
newArr[i] = arr[i];
}
return newArr;
}
```
This function uses additional space proportional to the size of the input array.
## Importance of Using An Efficient Algorithm
Efficient algorithms are critical for handling large inputs and ensuring that applications perform well under various conditions. As a developer, you need to be able to write optimized code and understand the trade-offs between different algorithmic approaches. This skill is particularly important in coding interviews, where demonstrating your ability to solve problems efficiently can set you apart from other candidates.
## My Thoughts on Algorithm Design
Algorithms are the backbone of effective problem-solving in software development. Understanding how to design, analyze, and optimize algorithms is a fundamental skill for any developer. By mastering these concepts, you can improve your coding skills, perform better in interviews, and build more efficient and scalable software solutions.
By delving deeper into these examples and practicing regularly, you can develop a solid foundation in algorithms, enabling you to tackle complex coding challenges with confidence.

1,893,325 | Detailed Explanation of Equilibrium & Grid Strategies | If the price of Bitcoin is going to be the same as it is today, what strategy will you take to make... | 0 | 2024-06-19T09:06:34 | https://dev.to/fmzquant/detailed-explanation-of-equilibrium-grid-strategies-dcf | startegy, trading, cryptocurrency, fmzquant | If the price of Bitcoin is going to be the same as it is today, what strategy will you take to make profits? It is easy to think of a way to sell when the price rises, and buy when it falls, and earn the price difference in the middle when the price recovers. How to implement it? How much do you need to sell if it goes up? If you sell too early, you will obviously lose money. Similarly, if you buy too early, you will make less profit. Both the equilibrium strategy and the grid strategy are designed to solve this problem, they are also very similar, and this article will introduce these two strategies in details.
## Strategy Introduction
The principle of the equilibrium strategy is very simple. The strategy only holds a fixed proportion of a currency (we can also call it coin, and we will call it coin in the following content), such as 50%. When the value of the coin exceeds 50%, it will be sold. Otherwise, the value of the coin held will always remain around 50%. If the price of the coin keeps rising, it will continue to be sold, but always hold a certain amount of coin and it will not be sold out. If the currency price first rises and then falls back to the initial price, the currency amount and money will increase due to the selling at high prices and buying at low prices in the strategy.
The grid strategy is to buy and sell at a fixed price, in which you can set multiple trading ranges, such as 8000-8500, 8500-9000. The strategy will buy 0.1 coin at 8,000 USD, and sell 0.1 coin when the price rises to 8,500; when the price continues to rise to 9,000 USD, sell 0.1 coin; then buy 0.1 coin when it falls back to 8,500 USD. Note that only when trades are made on one side in a range, the grid will pend the price of the other side. In this way, the strategy always buys at low prices and sells at high prices, and also notice that the currencies bought and sold are the same, so that when the price returns to the initial price, the currencies in the strategy are unchanged, but the money has increased.
The two strategies perform in a very similar way, but also very different. The equilibrium strategy always has funds to buy and sell, and the grid strategy has a certain range. If the range is exceeded, you may not be able to continue to buy, or you may have sold all the coins.
## How to Measure Profit
Before evaluating the strategy, we need to formulate the criteria for profit evaluation. Most people's view of return is absolute profit, that is, profit = current total funds - initial total funds. However, under the circumstance that the currencies are initially held, this method cannot show the profits brought by the active behavior of the strategy.
For example, the initial account has a balance of 10,000 USD, with 1 coin at a price of 8,000 USD, so the total funds = 10,000+1*8000=18,000 USD. After running the strategy for a period of time, the current account has a balance of 2000 USD, 2 coins at the price of 9000 USD, so the total funds = 2000+2*9000=20000 USD, with an absolute profit=20000-18000=2000 USD. However, one coin was already held in the initial account. Even if the strategy is not run, there will eventually be a profit of 1,000 USD, so the profit brought by the strategy is only 1,000 USD. This calculation method is floating profit calculation, namely floating profit = current balance + current currency*current price - (initial balance + initial currency*current price).
Next, let's look at the backtest results of these two strategies.
## Equilibrium Staretgy Backtest
The equilibrium strategy requires two parameters, namely holding value ratio and the adjustment ratio. The holding value ratio is set to 0.5 here, that is, half of the money and half of the currencies are held all the time; the adjustment ratio is set to 0.01, that is, when the value ratio of currencies exceeds 51% due to the rise in the currency price, sell 1% of the currencies, and the same is true for a drop. The backtest time is within the past year, the backtest currency symbol is Binance trading pair BTC_USDT, and the handling fee is 0.1%.
Backtest result:
Profit curve:
As Bitcoin's price has been volatile over the past year, the strategy has earned steady profits.
## Grid Strategy Backtest
The parameters required by the grid strategy are relatively complex, and parameters, such as the upper and lower limits of the grid, the grid type, the number of grids, and the invested funds, need to be set. When the strategy is launched, the currency price is 8,000 USD. Here, the upper and lower limits of the grid are set to be plus or minus 3,000 USD. The total number of grids is 21, and all funds are invested. The parameters here are as follows:
Backtest result:
Profit curve:
## Comparing equilibrium & Grid
From the view of the floating profit chart, the results of the two strategies are relatively similar. In the case of long-term sideways price of Bitcoin, both have obtained stable profits, and both have experienced drawdowns at the same time. After all, the principles of these strategies are very similar, and they all sell when rise and buy when fall. Due to the different parameters, it is difficult to directly compare the two strategies. In terms of profit/trading volume, the grid strategy is 18.6 and the balance strategy is 22.7. The equilibrium strategy performs more efficiently.
However, the equilibrium strategy is relatively inflexible. In order to increase the trading volume, except more frequent adjustments, we can only increase the investment of the total funds. The grid strategy has higher requirements for settings. If you choose a small range for the upper and lower limits of price fluctuations, the funds per grid will be large, and the trading volume will be enlarged. If the price is always within the range, the profit will be very high; of course, there is a danger that the price will exceed the set range. The equilibrium strategy is that it always has funds to buy coins and always have coins to sell, which is equivalent to a grid that cannot be broken.
For novices, the equilibrium strategy is highly recommended. The operation is simple. You only need to set a parameter with ratio, and you can run it even without thinking. Those who have certain experience can choose the grid strategy, and decide the upper and lower limits of fluctuations and the funds per grid, so as to improve the funding rate and seek for the maximum return.
The equilibrium strategy can choose to balance multiple currencies at the same time, and there are many variants of the grid strategy, such as proportional grid, infinite grid, etc. That will not be discussed in detail here, and I will leave it to you to study.
## Source Code
There are many public equilibrium strategies on FMZ platform, and recently I have written another version, with simple parameters, very easy to understand, which is the strategy used in the article.

1,881,845 | Back2Basics: Running Workloads on Amazon EKS | Overview Welcome back to the Back2Basics series! In this part, we'll explore how... | 27,819 | 2024-06-19T09:05:41 | https://dev.to/aws-builders/back2basics-running-workloads-on-amazon-eks-5e68 | aws, eks, kubernetes, karpenter | ## Overview
Welcome back to the `Back2Basics` series! In this part, we'll explore how `Karpenter`, a just-in-time node provisioner, automatically manages nodes based on your workload needs. We'll also walk you through deploying a voting application to showcase this functionality in action.
If you haven't read the first part, you can check it out here: {% embed https://dev.to/aws-builders/back2basics-setting-up-an-amazon-eks-cluster-2ep1 %}
## Infrastructure Setup
In the previous post, we covered the fundamentals of cluster provisioning using `OpenTofu` and simple workload deployment. Now, we will enable additional addons including `Karpenter` for automatic node provisioning based on workload needs.
First we need to uncomment these lines in [`03_eks.tf`](https://github.com/romarcablao/back2basics-working-with-amazon-eks/blob/3ced49322e90803b523a7de611353e459608e69e/03_eks.tf#L72-L78) to create taints on the nodes managed by the initial node group.
```
# Uncomment this if you will use Karpenter
# taints = {
# init = {
# key = "node"
# value = "initial"
# effect = "NO_SCHEDULE"
# }
# }
```
Taints ensure that only pods configured to tolerate these taints can be scheduled on those nodes. This allows us to reserve the initial nodes for specific purposes while `Karpenter` provisions additional nodes for other workloads.
We also need to uncomment the codes in [`04_karpenter`](https://github.com/romarcablao/back2basics-working-with-amazon-eks/blob/main/04_karpenter.tf) and [`05_addons`](https://github.com/romarcablao/back2basics-working-with-amazon-eks/blob/main/05_addons.tf) to activate `Karpenter` and provision other addons.
Once updated, we have to run `tofu init`, `tofu plan` and `tofu apply`. When prompted to confirm, type `yes` to proceed with provisioning the additional resources.
### Karpenter
> Karpenter is an open-source project that automates node provisioning in Kubernetes clusters. By integrating with EKS, Karpenter dynamically scales the cluster by adding new nodes when workloads require additional resources and removing idle nodes to optimize costs. The Karpenter configuration defines different node classes and pools for specific workload types, ensuring efficient resource allocation. Read more: https://karpenter.sh/docs/
The template [`04_karpenter`](https://github.com/romarcablao/back2basics-working-with-amazon-eks/blob/main/04_karpenter.tf) defines several node classes and pools categorized by workload type. These include:
- `critical-workloads`: for running essential cluster addons
- `monitoring`: dedicated to Grafana and other monitoring tools
- `vote-app`: for the voting application we'll be deploying
## Workload Setup
The voting application consists of several components: `vote`, `result` , `worker`, `redis`, and `postgresql`. While we'll deploy everything on Kubernetes for simplicity, you can leverage managed services like `Amazon ElastiCache for Redis` and `Amazon RDS` for a production environment.
| Component | Description |
|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Vote | Handles receiving and processing votes. |
| Result | Provides real-time visualizations of the current voting results. |
| Worker | Synchronizes votes between Redis and PostgreSQL. |
| Redis | Stores votes temporarily, easing the load on PostgreSQL. |
| PostgreSQL | Stores all votes permanently for secure and reliable data access. |
Here's the Voting App UI for both voting and results.
### Deployment Using Kubernetes Manifest
If you explore the `workloads/manifest` directory, you'll find separate YAML files for each workload. Let's take a closer look at the components used for stateful applications like `postgres` and `redis`:
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
...

kind: StatefulSet
...
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
...
```
As you may see, `Secret`, `PersistentVolumeClaim`, `StatefulSet` and `Service` were used for `postgres` and `redis`. Let's take a quick review of the following API objects used:
- `Secret` - used to store and manage sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, and keys.
- `PersistentVolumeClaim` - a request for storage, used to provision persistent storage dynamically.
- `StatefulSet` - manages stateful applications with guarantees about the ordering and uniqueness of `pods`.
- `Service` - used for exposing an application that is running as one or more `pods` in the cluster.
Now, lets view `vote-app.yaml`, `results-app.yaml` and `worker.yaml`:
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
...
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
...
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
...
```
Similar to `postgres` and `redis`, we have used a service for stateless workloads. Then we introduce the use of `Configmap` and `Deployment`.
- `Configmap` - stores non-confidential configuration data in key-value pairs, decoupling configurations from code.
- `Deployment` - used to provide declarative updates for `pods` and `replicasets`, typically used for stateless workloads.
And lastly the `ingress.yaml`. To make our service accessible from outside the cluster, we'll use an `Ingress`. This API object manages external access to the services in a cluster, typically in HTTP/S.
```
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
...
```
Now that we've examined the manifest files, let's deploy them to the cluster. You can use the following command to apply all YAML files within the `workloads/manifest/` directory:
```
kubectl apply -f workloads/manifest/
```
For more granular control, you can apply each YAML file individually. To clean up the deployment later, simply run `kubectl delete -f workloads/manifest/`
While manifest files are a common approach, there are alternative tools for deployment management:
- `Kustomize`: This tool allows customizing raw YAML files for various purposes without modifying the original files.
- `Helm`: A popular package manager for Kubernetes applications. Helm charts provide a structured way to define, install, and upgrade even complex applications within the cluster.
### Deployment Using Kustomize
Let's check `Kustomize`. If you haven't installed it's binary, you can refer to [Kustomize Installation Docs](https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/installation/kustomize/). This example utilizes an overlay file to make specific changes to the default configuration. To apply the built `kustomization`, you can run the command:
```
kustomize build .\workloads\kustomize\overlays\dev\ | kubectl apply -f -
```
Here's what we've modified:
1. Added an annotation: `note: "Back2Basics: A Series"`.
2. Set the replicas for both the `vote` and `result` deployments to `3`.
To check you can refer to the commands below:
```
D:\> kubectl get pod -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,ANNOTATIONS:.metadata.annotations
NAME ANNOTATIONS
postgres-0 map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
redis-0 map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
result-app-6c9dd6d458-8hxkf map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
result-app-6c9dd6d458-l4hp9 map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
result-app-6c9dd6d458-r5srd map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
vote-app-cfd5fc88-lsbzx map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
vote-app-cfd5fc88-mdblb map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
vote-app-cfd5fc88-wz5ch map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
worker-bf57ddcb8-kkk79 map[note:Back2Basics: A Series]
D:\> kubectl get deploy
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
result-app 3/3 3 3 5m
vote-app 3/3 3 3 5m
worker 1/1 1 1 5m
```
To remove all the resources we created, run the following command:
```
kustomize build .\workloads\kustomize\overlays\dev\ | kubectl delete -f -
```
### Deployment Using Helm Chart
Next to check is `Helm`. If you haven't installed helm binary, you can refer to [Helm Installation Docs](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/). Once installed, lets add a repository and update.
```
helm repo add thecloudspark https://thecloudspark.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
```
Next, create a `values.yaml` and add some overrides to the default configuration. You can also use existing config in `workloads/helm/values.yaml`. This is how it looks like:
```
ingress:
enabled: true
className: alb
annotations:
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: instance
# Vote Handler Config
vote:
tolerations:
- key: app
operator: Equal
value: vote-app
effect: NoSchedule
nodeSelector:
app: vote-app
service:
type: NodePort
# Results Handler Config
result:
tolerations:
- key: app
operator: Equal
value: vote-app
effect: NoSchedule
nodeSelector:
app: vote-app
service:
type: NodePort
# Worker Handler Config
worker:
tolerations:
- key: app
operator: Equal
value: vote-app
effect: NoSchedule
nodeSelector:
app: vote-app
```
As you may see, we added `nodeSelector` and `tolerations` to make sure that the `pods` will be scheduled on the dedicated nodes where we wanted them to run. This Helm chart offers various configuration options and you can explore them in more detail on [ArtifactHub: Vote App](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/vote-app/vote-app).
Now install the chart and apply overrides from values.yaml
```
# Install
helm install app -f workloads/helm/values.yaml thecloudspark/vote-app
# Upgrade
helm upgrade app -f workloads/helm/values.yaml thecloudspark/vote-app
```
Wait for the pods to be up and running, then access the UI using the provisioned application load balancer.
To uninstall just run the command below.
```
helm uninstall app
```
### Going back to Karpenter
Under the hood, `Karpenter` provisioned nodes used by the voting app we've deployed. The sample logs you see here provide insights into it's activities:
```
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:15:38.739Z","logger":"controller.provisioner","message":"found provisionable pod(s)","commit":"fb4d75f","pods":"default/result-app-6c9dd6d458-l4hp9, default/worker-bf57ddcb8-kkk79, default/vote-app-cfd5fc88-lsbzx","duration":"153.662007ms"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:15:38.739Z","logger":"controller.provisioner","message":"computed new nodeclaim(s) to fit pod(s)","commit":"fb4d75f","nodeclaims":1,"pods":3}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:15:38.753Z","logger":"controller.provisioner","message":"created nodeclaim","commit":"fb4d75f","nodepool":"vote-app","nodeclaim":"vote-app-r9z7s","requests":{"cpu":"510m","memory":"420Mi","pods":"8"},"instance-types":"m5.2xlarge, m5.4xlarge, m5.large, m5.xlarge, m5a.2xlarge and 55 other(s)"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:15:41.894Z","logger":"controller.nodeclaim.lifecycle","message":"launched nodeclaim","commit":"fb4d75f","nodeclaim":"vote-app-r9z7s","provider-id":"aws:///ap-southeast-1b/i-028457815289a8470","instance-type":"t3.small","zone":"ap-southeast-1b","capacity-type":"spot","allocatable":{"cpu":"1700m","ephemeral-storage":"14Gi","memory":"1594Mi","pods":"11"}}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:16:08.946Z","logger":"controller.nodeclaim.lifecycle","message":"registered nodeclaim","commit":"fb4d75f","nodeclaim":"vote-app-r9z7s","provider-id":"aws:///ap-southeast-1b/i-028457815289a8470","node":"ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:16:23.631Z","logger":"controller.nodeclaim.lifecycle","message":"initialized nodeclaim","commit":"fb4d75f","nodeclaim":"vote-app-r9z7s","provider-id":"aws:///ap-southeast-1b/i-028457815289a8470","node":"ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal","allocatable":{"cpu":"1700m","ephemeral-storage":"15021042452","hugepages-1Gi":"0","hugepages-2Mi":"0","memory":"1663292Ki","pods":"11"}}
```
As shown in the logs, when `Karpenter` found pod/s that needs to be scheduled, a new node claim was created, launched and initialized. So whenever there is a need for additional resources, this component is responsible in fulfilling it.
Additionally, `Karpenter` automatically labels nodes it provisions with `karpenter.sh/initialized=true`. Let's use `kubectl` to see these nodes:
```
kubectl get nodes -l karpenter.sh/initialized=true
```
This command will list all nodes that have this specific label. As you can see in the output below, three nodes have been provisioned by `Karpenter`:
```
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
ip-10-0-208-50.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal Ready <none> 10m v1.30.0-eks-036c24b
ip-10-0-220-238.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal Ready <none> 10m v1.30.0-eks-036c24b
ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal Ready <none> 1m v1.30.0-eks-036c24b
```
Lastly, let's check related logs for node termination. This process involves removing nodes from the cluster. Decommissioning typically involves tainting the node first to prevent further `pod` scheduling, followed by node deletion.
```
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:35:39.165Z","logger":"controller.disruption","message":"disrupting via consolidation delete, terminating 1 nodes (0 pods) ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal/t3.small/spot","commit":"fb4d75f","command-id":"5e5489a6-a99d-4b8d-912c-df314a4b5cfa"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:35:39.483Z","logger":"controller.disruption.queue","message":"command succeeded","commit":"fb4d75f","command-id":"5e5489a6-a99d-4b8d-912c-df314a4b5cfa"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:35:39.511Z","logger":"controller.node.termination","message":"tainted node","commit":"fb4d75f","node":"ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:35:39.530Z","logger":"controller.node.termination","message":"deleted node","commit":"fb4d75f","node":"ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal"}
{"level":"INFO","time":"2024-06-16T10:35:39.989Z","logger":"controller.nodeclaim.termination","message":"deleted nodeclaim","commit":"fb4d75f","nodeclaim":"vote-app-r9z7s","node":"ip-10-0-206-99.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal","provider-id":"aws:///ap-southeast-1b/i-028457815289a8470"}
```
## What's Next?
We've successfully deployed our voting application! And thanks to `Karpenter`, new nodes are added automatically when needed and terminates when not - making our setup more robust and cost effective. In the final part of this series, we'll delve into monitoring the voting application we've deployed with `Grafana` and `Prometheus`, providing us the visibility into resource utilization and application health.

Proceeding with the appointments with the PnP React controls today I want to talk about the **Map** control.
You can find the code of this sample [here on GitHub](https://github.com/GuidoZam/blog-samples/tree/main/pnp-react-controls/pnp-map).
* * *
The **Map** control is a very useful visual control to enable the visualization of a point on a map, I prepared a sample solution to show various possible configurations and the corresponding visual results.
Starting with the minimal usage the appearance will be like the following:
Next I customized the loading label and the display name of the map:
Another option that can be enabled is the possibility for the user to search for a specific place on the map:
The control support multiple visualization types which are:
- **standard** : is the default visualization.
- **normal** : shows the map with an emphasis on places.
- **cycle** : shows the available cycling routes.
- **transit** : displays the available public transportations.
Following there are screenshots for each map type:
All the other instances of the map expand to use all the width available and an height of the default value (300px), the following instance shows that is possible to customize the size of the control:
Following here is an example that shows the possibility to intercept the search query and to display the result:
## Show me the code
Ok, I heard that! Let’s see how to achieve the aforementioned control instances. First it’s needed to install the PnP package containing the **Map** control:
```
npm install @pnp/spfx-controls-react --save --save-exact
```
After installed the package we need the import statement in the web part component:
```
import { Map, MapType } from "@pnp/spfx-controls-react/lib/Map";
```
Now it’s possible to instantiate the control, keep in mind that the minimal configuration of the control needs the property **coordinates** to have a value set. For example the minimal configuration instance has the following code:
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "Colosseum, Rome, Italy",
latitude: 41.890251,
longitude: 12.492373
}}
/>
```
In the customized instance you can see how to customize the map title using the **titleText** , the loading message can be customized too using the **loadingMessage** and also the zoom is customizable (with a value from 1 to 15) using the **zoom** property.
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "Berlin, Germany",
latitude: 52.520008,
longitude: 13.404954
}}
titleText={strings.CustomMapTitle}
loadingMessage={strings.LoadingMessage}
zoom={15}
/>
```
A useful feature of the control is the ability to search for a user-specified location in input and that’s easily achieved using the **enableSearch** property:
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "Copenhagen, Denmark",
latitude: 55.6712398,
longitude: 12.5114238
}}
enableSearch={true}
/>
```
As said before there are four different type of map visualization:
- **standard**
- **normal**
- **cycle**
- **transit**
To use those you can directly specify the string or use the enum type **MapType** , for example here you can see the **cycle** one:
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "Rotterdam, Netherlands",
latitude: 51.9279573,
longitude: 4.4084277
}}
mapType={MapType.cycle}
/>
```
Visualization can be customized through either the **width** or **height** property. The **width** property accept a string representing a percentage where the 100% is the default value. The **height** property accept a number as a value and represent the height value in pixels, the default value is 300. In the sample the custom width is set to 50% and the height to 150:
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "Porto, Portugal",
latitude: 41.1579438,
longitude: -8.6291053
}}
width={"50%"}
height={150}
/>
```
In the end I want to show how to intercept the change of the searched value, to achieve this you can use the **onUpdateCoordinates** property which receive the new selected location information, here I used the method to set a value in the state so that it can be displayed in the UI:
```
<Map
coordinates={{
displayName: "New York, USA",
latitude: 40.712776,
longitude: -74.005974
}}
enableSearch={true}
onUpdateCoordinates={(locationInfo) => {
this.setState({
selectedCoordinate: locationInfo
});
}}
/>
```
The received value is of type **ICoordinates** which contains the following properties:
- **latitude** : the latitude of the searched value.
- **longitude** : the longitude of the searched value.
- **displayName** : the displayed name of the searched value, this can be null.
- **address** : the address of the searched value, this can be null.
## Conclusions
When using SharePoint Framework the PnP reusable **Map** control is a cool visual addition to any form or page and can be extremely helpful in helping the user visualizing or selecting a place on the map.
Hope this helps! | guidozam |

In order to guarantee that transactions are executed efficiently and securely, payment gateways are essential to this process. Payment gateways increase the flexibility and convenience for businesses and customers by enabling the acceptance of card payments on phones, whether through a website or mobile device.
**A Payment Gateway What Is It?**
Technology known as a payment gateway makes it easier for customers and businesses to authorize and process payments. It serves as a go-between, securely transmitting payment details between the bank accounts of the customer and the merchant. Payment gateways guard against fraud and illegal access by encrypting important data, guaranteeing the security and dependability of online transactions.
**Processing Credit Card Payments Online**
When a customer makes a [credit card payment online](https://www.onepay.com/ecommerce-payment-gateway/?utm_source=dev&utm_medium=seo&utm_campaign=blog_submission&utm_id=enosh), several steps occur to ensure the transaction is processed correctly. The process begins when the customer enters their credit card details on the merchant's website. This information is then securely transmitted to the payment gateway, which forwards it to the acquiring bank. The acquiring bank sends the transaction details to the credit card network (such as Visa or MasterCard), which then contacts the issuing bank to approve or decline the transaction. Once approved, the funds are transferred from the customer's bank account to the merchant's account. This entire process, facilitated by the payment gateway, happens in just a few seconds.
**Accepting Card Payments on Phone**
The rise of mobile technology has enabled businesses to [accept card payments on phone](https://www.onepay.com/onepay-go/?utm_source=dev&utm_medium=seo&utm_campaign=blog_submission&utm_id=enosh), offering greater flexibility and convenience. Mobile payment solutions, such as Square, PayPal Here, and Stripe, provide apps that integrate with payment gateways, allowing merchants to process transactions anywhere, anytime. These apps turn smartphones and tablets into portable point-of-sale (POS) systems, making it easy for businesses to accept payments on the go.
Accepting card payments on phones is particularly beneficial for small businesses, freelancers, and service providers who operate outside traditional retail environments. With mobile payment apps, they can accept payments at events, markets, or client locations, capturing sales opportunities that might otherwise be missed. Additionally, these apps often come with features such as invoicing, sales tracking, and inventory management, helping businesses manage their operations more efficiently.
**Choosing the Right Payment Gateway**
When selecting a payment gateway, businesses should consider factors such as security, ease of integration, transaction fees, and customer support. A reliable payment gateway should offer advanced security features like encryption and fraud detection, ensuring the protection of sensitive data. It should also provide seamless integration with both websites and mobile apps, supporting various payment methods to cater to customer preferences.
Conclusion
payment gateways are essential for businesses looking to process credit card payments online and accept card payments on phones. They provide the necessary security and efficiency for handling transactions, helping businesses enhance their payment processing capabilities, improve customer satisfaction, and drive growth in the competitive digital marketplace.

1,893,314 | Implementing a contextual menu | Generate powerful shortcuts and interactions with your graphics by creating a context menu. This... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:57:23 | https://dev.to/lenormor/implementing-a-contextual-menu-4mck | Generate powerful shortcuts and interactions with your graphics by creating a context menu. This article proposes a four steps implementation of a context menu system starting from scratch in your ScheduleJS graphics.
## Step 1: Define your context menu structure using HTML
The first step in this tutorial is to declare your context menu in the HTML part of the application. The best way to keep your code clean is to create a dedicated component to render the context menu and define your interactions.
```
<!-- The ngStyle input will handle positionning -->
<div class="demo-planning-board-context-menu"
[class.display]="!gantt.contextMenuOverlay.isHidden"
[ngStyle]="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.position"
(click)="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.onHide()">
<!-- (1) Set started action -->
<div class="demo-planning-board-context-menu-action"
(click)="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.onSetTaskStarted()">
Set started
</div>
<!-- (2) Set completed action -->
<div class="demo-planning-board-context-menu-action"
(click)="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.onSetActivityCompleted()">
Set completed
</div>
<!-- (3) Set late action -->
<div class="demo-planning-board-context-menu-action"
(click)="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.onSetActivityLate()">
Set late
</div>
<!-- (4) Set priority action -->
<div class="demo-planning-board-context-menu-action"
(click)="gantt.contextMenuOverlay.onSetActivityPriority()">
{{ gantt.contextMenuOverlay.activity?.isHighPriority
? "Remove high priority" : "Set high priority" }}
</div>
</div>
```
The `display` child class will be used to hide and show the context menu, while we will update its position using CSS and pass it through the Angular `[ngStyle]` input property.
Here, we created a simple contextual layout with four actions:
- `Set started`: Change the activity state and set it as started
- `Set completed`: Set the activity as completed
- `Set late`: Set the activity sequence as late, starting from a specific activity
- `Set priority`: Set the priority as High or remove this setting
Now let’s do a little CSS to make it pretty. We recommend using SCSS to create a scope for the style classes like the following:
```
.demo-planning-board-context-menu {
display: none;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
background: #555555dd;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 3px 0;
&.display {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.demo-planning-board-context-menu-action {
color: white;
font: 13px $demo-planning-board-font;
padding: 0 10px;
margin: 3px 0;
&:hover {
color: black;
filter: brightness(0.9);
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}
&:active {
filter: brightness(0.8);
}
}
}
```
Once done, we can start playing with Angular to create the logic for this element.
## Step 2: Create an overlay abstraction
Using an object-oriented approach, we can define an abstraction that will be the starting point for all our overlays, so we can reuse it to create tooltips, modals, and such.
```
export abstract class PlanningBoardAbstractOverlay {
// Attributes
isHidden: boolean = true;
activity: PlanningBoardActivity | undefined = undefined;
position: PlanningBoardOverlayPosition = {};
// Constructor
constructor(public gantt: PlanningBoardGanttChart) { }
// Methods
abstract onShow(pointerEvent: PointerEvent, activity: PlanningBoardActivity | undefined): void;
onHide(): void {
this.isHidden = true;
}
setOverlayElementPosition(pointerEvent: PointerEvent): void {
const isRight = pointerEvent.x > window.innerWidth / 2;
const isBottom = pointerEvent.y > window.innerHeight / 2;
const marginPx = 10;
this.position.top = isBottom ? "auto" : pointerEvent.y + marginPx + "px";
this.position.right = isRight ? window.innerWidth - pointerEvent.x + marginPx + "px" : "auto";
this.position.bottom = isBottom ? window.innerHeight - pointerEvent.y + marginPx + "px" : "auto";
this.position.left = isRight ? "auto" : pointerEvent.x + marginPx + "px";
}
}
export interface PlanningBoardOverlayPosition {
top?: string;
right?: string;
bottom?: string;
left?: string;
}
```
Let’s store a few properties that will hold the state of our current overlay abstraction:
- The `isHidden` property will be used to hide and show the overlay.
- The `activity` property links our overlay to a specific activity.
- The `position` property will define where the overlay should render using our PointerEvent.
Exposing the `GanttChart` instance in the overlay will help us to create actions and interact with our graphics.
The overlay will also expose three methods:
- The `onShow` method is used to define the display strategy.
- The `onHide` method.
- The `setOverlayElementPosition` will update the position property.
## Step 3: Build the context menu logic
Using our `PlanningBoardAbstractOverlay` abstract class, we can now create a new `PlanningBoardContextMenuOverlay` class that will hold the logic for our context menu.
```
export class PlanningBoardContextMenuOverlay extends PlanningBoardAbstractOverlay {
// Methods
onShow(pointerEvent: PointerEvent, activity: PlanningBoardActivity): void {
if (activity) {
this.isHidden = false;
this.activity = activity;
this.setOverlayElementPosition(pointerEvent);
} else {
this.onHide();
}
}
// Context menu actions
onSetTaskStarted(): void {
this.activity.progressRatio = 0.01;
this.gantt.redraw();
}
onSetActivityCompleted(): void {
this.activity.progressRatio = 1;
this.gantt.redraw();
}
onSetActivityLate(): void {
this.activity.deadline = 0;
this.activity.successorFinishesAfterDeadline = true;
this.gantt.redraw();
}
onSetActivityPriority(): void {
this.activity.isHighPriority = !this.activity.isHighPriority;
this.gantt.redraw();
}
}
```
Let’s design the `onShow` process:
- When opening the menu with an activity, we will store this activity and display our contextual menu. Let’s use the `setOverlayElementPosition` we created in our abstract class and give it our `PointerEvent`.
- If the context menu is opened without a contextual activity, we trigger the `onHide` method.
Our four actions will update the activity data and trigger a `redraw`, letting our underlying `ActivityRenderer` update the graphics with this new information.
## Step 4: Trigger the context menu
ScheduleJS proposes a large set of event methods that you can register in the main object: the GanttChart. An easy way to organize the code is to create a custom `GanttChart` class that extends the default `GanttChart`.
```
// Here we create our custom GanttChart class
export class PlanningBoardGanttChart extends GanttChart<PlanningBoardRow> {
// Instantiate our PlanningBoardContextMenuOverlay class
readonly contextMenuOverlay: PlanningBoardContextMenuOverlay = new PlanningBoardContextMenuOverlay(this);
// The minimal GanttChart implementation requires the Angular injector
constructor(injector: Injector) {
super(undefined, injector);
}
// Event handlers [...]
}
```
As the `GanttChart` object is at the core of ScheduleJS, its class is a great place to register the default renderers, system layers, and events handlers. Note that the ScheduleJS API is accessible through the `GanttChart` instance with methods like `gantt.getGraphics()`.
The `GanttChart` class proposes a set of overridable methods designed to handle user input on the graphics, for example:
- `onRowDrawingEnginePointerDown`
- `onDatelinePointerMove`
- `onToggleGrid`
What we want to do here is to override the `onRowDrawingEngineContextMenu` method to trigger logic when opening our context menu. In a desktop environment, this method is called when the user right-clicks anywhere on the graphics.
```
/**
* Trigger when right-clicking on the canvas
*/
onRowDrawingEngineContextMenu(pointerEvent: PointerEvent, row: PlanningBoardRow, index: number): void {
super.onRowDrawingEngineContextMenu(pointerEvent, row, index);
const hoveredActivity = this._getHoveredActivity();
if (hoveredActivity) {
this.tooltipOverlay.onHide();
this.contextMenuOverlay.onShow(pointerEvent, hoveredActivity);
this._changeDetectorRef.detectChanges();
}
}
```
Now, when the user right-clicks on the graphics, this code will trigger with the underlying pointer event, current row, and row-index. We can extract the currently `hoveredActivity` using the `graphics.getHoveredActivity` API and pass it to the overlay `onShow` method.
The context menu we are building will add interactions with activities present on the canvas. On user right click, we will check if we are hovering over an activity, and if it’s the case, we hide our tooltip and trigger the `contextMenuOverlay.onShow` method.
For performance reasons, this method is run outside of the Angular zone by ScheduleJS. So we have to add a call to `ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges()` to trigger change detection manually and update the DOM.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, implementing a context menu in your ScheduleJS graphics involves four key steps. First, define your context menu structure using HTML by creating a dedicated component for rendering the menu and handling interactions. Second, create an overlay abstraction to manage positioning and display logic. Third, build the context menu logic by extending the overlay abstraction, and lastly, trigger the context menu through events in your custom GanttChart class.

Its widespread community support, easy-to-learn syntax, and smooth integration abilities make it a smart choice for developing everything from simple websites to high-end web apps. Read on to find out more about Python’s endless advantages.
## Introduction
Python is an effective programming language with a friendly interface that runs smoothly on most operating systems. Python can easily adapt to the coding style of developers, whether it is imperative, functional, or object-oriented. This means that developers can choose the style that best fits their specific project.
The versatility of Python has become a cornerstone of the software engineering field. [Python development services](https://www.hyperlinkinfosystem.com/python-web-development.htm) are the key driver of innovation across many fields, from machine learning, Deep Learning, and AI to mobile app development. But it holds the most significance in the arena of web development.
As per the Stack Overflow survey, Python was voted as the developer community’s second-most favored coding language in 2023, after hitting the peak of the list for the last 5 years in a row.
There are various reasons for choosing Python as your primary language for web development if compared with others. Let’s dig into the details!
## Key Role of Python in Web Development - Python Frameworks
Python has an open-source nature, a large community & high ability to adapt to coding styles. This has provided web developers with plenty of choices. Among so many features & qualities, the elements of Python that matter significantly are its full-stack web development frameworks, the micro-frameworks, & extensive libraries.
If you ask about Python in web development, the first term you might hear is Django. This is a framework crucial for developing server-side web applications, letting coders build at high speed without getting tied down by unwanted complexities. If you need to design a web app that is large-scale & database-driven, then Django offers all the advantages.
Any reputed Python development company masters their way around this sought-after framework. Django is one of the key advantages of using Python for web development. Rapid development, high security & reduced page loading speed are some huge benefits of using Django.
Python also integrates with HTML, by implementing Flask. It is an apt way to build pages with the help of markup language. Flask is Python’s lightweight micro-framework, specially designed for those who want to design simpler features. It lets developers build web apps with higher accuracy and control. For example, a single-page web application, whether it be PayPal, AirBnB, or Google Maps.
Both full-stack and micro frameworks come with their own specifications & choosing between them finally depends on the project's particular requirements. In case you are not very experienced in web development, it is recommended to choose Django. This is because it offers a faster and easier process for web development. However, the accessibility of various high-end frameworks is proof of Python's growing demand in web development.
But that is not all!
## More Advantages of Using Python for Web Development - Detailed View
Python, as a comprehensive and advanced language, leverages more than just high-functional frameworks for web development. Here is what you should know before you choose from the list of professional web development services.
### Open Source + Easy to Learn Nature
Python is an open-source programming language and easy-to-grasp that a large percentage of developers globally choose to use. To break it down, it can be modified to meet the basic to extensive requirements of a developer.
This language lets you scale your business easily and upgrade your application to pace along with the evolving needs of customers. The key benefit is that you don’t have to pay a penny extra for all of these. Also, Python does not come with a steep learning curve. This clearly shows that it is very simple to learn and use!
### Neat and Intuitive Syntax
Python's syntax makes implementation an easy job for most web developers. This makes it a great choice for beginners in the field. Its concise and readable code is minimally prone to errors. It is also easy to maintain and a time-saving option for developers. Python's neat and intuitive syntax also helps developers write codes more proficiently, resulting in faster development timelines and fewer bugs.
### Highly Flexible
Python's high adaptability is a plus point when it comes to developing websites. It is a general-purpose language and offers the advantage of high usability for a wide range of tasks. Data analysis, scientific computing, web development, Artificial Intelligence, or any other field can benefit from the use of Python.
Python's versatility is further showcased by how smoothly it integrates with different programming languages and frameworks, making it a great option for full-stack development projects.

**La première édition du [devQuest](https://www.devquest.fr/) avait lieu à Niort le 14 juin dernier. Et pour une première édition, c’était incroyablement réussi !**
Un nouveau joueur dans la cour des CFP, ça n’est pas si courant ! J’ai postulé par curiosité à cet événement, dont la page d’annonce était très attractive… Et j’étais retenu pour ma conférence « [Dessine-moi un graphique (en CSS)](https://www.devquest.fr/sessions/dessine-moi-un-graphique-en-CSS) » !
Accompagné de deux collègues nantaises, Céline Mérand et Charline Humeau — retenues avec leur _quickie_ « [Dédramatisons l’accessibilité](https://www.devquest.fr/sessions/dedramatisons-l-accessibilite) » — nous sommes partis à l’aventure à Niort.
Je vous raconte cette épopée ?
---
## Le folklore du devQuest
Le devQuest se tenait [au Dôme du parc des expositions de Niort](https://www.vivre-a-niort.com/services-publics/les-equipements/parc-des-expositions/index.html), un lieu agréable et enchanteur grâce à sa disposition circulaire. Trois salles étaient occupées :
* La forge, la plus grande salle.
* L’astrarium, la seconde salle de conférence — dans laquelle mes collègues et moi sommes intervenus.
* Et le laboratoire, qui accueillait les ateliers.
Vous l’aurez deviné avec le nom des salles : les organisateurs ont mis en place une ambiance festive et ludique très réussie !
* Des **énigmes** à résoudre, sous forme de quiz accessibles via des QR codes disséminés sur les stands.
* Un **décorum** léger, mais bien présent, pour donner le ton !
* Une musique d’**ambiance à la taverne**, pour se sentir comme dans son RPG préféré.
* Des **étendards** devQuest pour encadrer chaque scène, une coquetterie vraiment sympathique pour habiller le lieu.
* Des partenaires qui ont joué le jeu avec des stands ludiques et quelques _goodies_ qui sortent de l’ordinaire — et notamment un stand pour la boutique Sortilèges, avec quelques jeux proposés à l’essai !
J’ai également beaucoup apprécié l’ouverture de la journée, lancée par un générique digne d’un jeu vidéo et un maître du jeu pour nous présenter la guilde des organisateurs, de leurs partenaires et leur quête initiatique pour réussir cette première édition. Et les remerciements pour lancer la journée, ça met vraiment de bonne humeur !
## Les récits de la tradition orale
Deux _tracks_ de conférences et une d’ateliers : la journée était bien chargée et le choix parfois difficile !
J’ai moi-même conté une histoire : [« Dessine-moi un graphique (en CSS) », que vous retrouverez chez moi](https://www.ffoodd.fr/devquest/). J’ai beaucoup apprécié l’aventure, et les retours sont plutôt positifs.

### _Level up_ ta conf
La _keynote_ d’ouverture était assurée par [Julien Landuré](https://jlandure.dev/) et [Annabelle Koster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annabelle-koster/), figures bien connues de la scène nantaise — entre autres choses pour leur implication dans le GDG de Nantes, qui organise chaque année le devFest.
Les organisateurs du devQuest ont souligné dans leur introduction le soutien qu’ils ont reçu des organisateurs du devFest Nantes, et cette conférence montrait bien la valeur inestimable de l’expérience partagée : 12 ans d’existence, d’une première édition confidentielle et artisanale à un événement gigantesque rassemblant des milliers de personnes.
Ce retour d’expérience d’une équipe d’organisateurs est vraiment enrichissant, et je le partagerai dès que possible à nos camarades organisateurs de l’Atlantique Day chez Onepoint à Nantes, mais aussi à mes copains organisateurs de Paris Web. On peut toujours s’améliorer !
---
### Arrêtons de (dé)tester nos applications
[Louis Fredice Njako Molom](https://github.com/luifr10) et [Stanley Servical](https://github.com/stanlee974) ont mené un atelier sur la validation de cas d’utilisation centrés utilisateurs, articulés autour de la solution [UUV](https://orange-opensource.github.io/uuv/) qu’ils éditent au sein de l’organisation GitHub Orange OpenSource.
Je n’ai pas pu assister à cet atelier — étant moi-même sur scène au même moment — mais ils ont déjà mené cet atelier au dernier Devoxx et j’ai pu découvrir la solution UUV récemment. Cet outil s’appuie sur les standards actuels du test (Cucumber, Cypress ou Playwright — au choix ! — et aXe) et permet de rédiger ses cas de tests en langage naturel.
Des dictionnaires dédiés à certains aspects (notamment l’accessibilité) et un assistant (une application Electron) permettent à n’importe quel intervenant sur un projet de rédiger un cas de test. C’est la promesse (tenue) et je trouve ça assez incroyable.
---
### Ne jouez plus solo
[Julien Libert](https://www.linkedin.com/in/julienlibert/) a découvert le _mob programming_ en conférence, et nous transmet dans une conférence son expérience après une année de pratique ! De la théorie à la pratique (avec son lot d’aménagements loin de la théorie), il nous raconte ce qui a fonctionné — ou non ! — et quelques anecdotes intéressantes sur la réalité du terrain.
Mon passage préféré : l’utilisation du _mob programming_ en guise d’entretien technique lors des recrutements. Pas de problème à tiroir ou d’exercice en mode _fizz buzz_, mais un problème sélectionné en amont par la candidate elle-même — qui a donc le temps de potasser — et la solution mise en œuvre est déroulée en binôme le jour de l’entretien.
Je trouve énormément d’avantages à cette pratique !
---
### _Chrome Devtools from zero to hero_
[Simon Belbeoch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonbelbeoch/) nous conduit dans une quête annexe : dépasser le basique `console.log()` en jouant dans les outils de développement.
Des autres méthodes de l’objet `console` — que j’ai découverte en créant des CLI en Node… — aux outils de simulation de troubles visuels en passant par le `debugger;`, nous avons vu du paysage et des couleurs !
Le seul bémol que j’apporterai est de restreindre le sujet, dès le titre, à Chrome… alors que toutes ces fonctionnalités existent dans Firefox ou Safari.
Et je préfère Firefox !
---
### Dédramatisons l’accessibilité
[Céline](https://www.linkedin.com/in/celine-merand/) et [Charline](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlinehumeau/) ont pu rejouer leur conférence, qui brosse un portrait de l’accessibilité web bien loin des clichés habituels : moche, compliqué, cher, etc. En vingt minutes, elles réussissent un véritable tour de force : sensibiliser au handicap, illustrer avec des situations concrètes, apporter des ressources théoriques et proposer des outils concrets pour mettre le pied à l’étrier.
Et leur conférence sortait du lot : c’était la seule catégorisée UX / UI de toute la journée !
---
## La récompense de la quête
Une première édition est toujours un pari risqué.
**Les spectateurs seront-ils au rendez-vous ?** Le plan initial visait 150 personnes, nous étions plus de 400 !
**L’appel à sujets sera-t-il visible et fructueux ?** L’équipe a reçu plus de 160 propositions, la sélection s’est avérée rude !
**Les partenaires trouveront-ils un intérêt ?** Avec 19 partenaires présents, le moins qu’on puisse dire est que c’est un grand oui !
**Et surtout… va-t-on réussir à aller au bout de l’expédition ?**
L’équipe du devQuest s’est entourée pour bénéficier d’expériences enrichissantes, et a su apporter beaucoup de personnalité à ce nouveau venu dans le circuit des conférences. Leur motivation et leurs convictions ont permis aux participants et orateurs de passer une excellente journée, distrayante, faite de rencontres et d’apprentissages.
J’en repars en ayant glâné de nouvelles connaissances, découvert quelques personnes et passé un très bon moment.
Bravo à l’équipe du devQuest, et merci à onepoint de nous permettre de partir en expédition pour des quêtes de ce genre !

1,893,300 | Offshore In-House vs. Outsource: Choosing the Right Strategy for Your Business | In an increasingly globalized business environment, companies are continually seeking ways to... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:32:29 | https://dev.to/rashmihc060195/offshore-in-house-vs-outsource-choosing-the-right-strategy-for-your-business-1mkd | In an increasingly globalized business environment, companies are continually seeking ways to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and access specialized skills. Two popular strategies for achieving these goals are offshore in-house development and outsourcing. While both approaches involve leveraging talent from different geographical locations, they differ significantly in execution, control, and cost.
This article delves into the key differences between offshore [in-house and outsourcing](https://thescalers.com/benefits-of-the-offshore-in-house-vs-outsource-team-model/), helping you determine which strategy is best for your business.
What is Offshore In-House Development?
Offshore in-house development involves establishing a dedicated team of developers in a foreign country. These employees work exclusively for your company and are managed by your internal leadership, maintaining the company’s culture and standards. This approach can be particularly advantageous for long-term projects and when maintaining control over the development process is crucial.
Advantages of Offshore In-House Development
Control and Integration:
You have direct control over the team, ensuring alignment with your company’s goals, processes, and culture.
Easier integration with your existing in-house team, fostering better collaboration and communication.
Consistent Quality:
Maintains a consistent quality of work since the team is fully integrated into your company’s standards and practices.
Long-Term Commitment:
Ideal for long-term projects or ongoing development needs, as the team grows and evolves with your company.
Disadvantages of Offshore In-House Development
Higher Initial Costs:
Setting up an offshore in-house team involves significant initial investments in infrastructure, recruitment, and training.
Management Overhead:
Requires ongoing management and oversight, which can be resource-intensive.
Complex Logistics:
Managing a remote team in a different country can present logistical challenges, including time zone differences and regulatory compliance.
What is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing involves hiring external vendors or agencies to handle specific projects or tasks. These vendors are not part of your company but provide services based on contractual agreements.
Outsourcing can be a cost-effective solution for short-term projects or when specific expertise is required.
Advantages of Outsourcing
Cost Efficiency:
Often cheaper than maintaining an in-house team, especially for short-term projects or tasks that require specialized skills.
Flexibility:
Easy to scale up or down based on project needs without long-term commitments.
Access to Expertise:
Access to a wide range of skills and expertise that may not be available in-house.
Disadvantages of Outsourcing
Less Control:
Limited control over the outsourced team’s processes and quality of work.
Potential misalignment with your company’s goals and standards.
Communication Barriers:
Communication challenges can arise due to time zone differences, language barriers, and differing work cultures.
Security Risks:
Increased risk of data breaches and intellectual property theft if the outsourcing partner does not have stringent security measures in place.
Offshore In-House vs. Outsourcing: Key Considerations
1. Project Scope and Duration
Offshore In-House: Better suited for long-term projects or ongoing development needs where continuity and deep integration with the company are essential.
Outsourcing: Ideal for short-term projects or tasks that require specific expertise or rapid scaling.
2. Budget
Offshore In-House: Higher initial costs but potentially lower long-term costs for sustained projects.
Outsourcing: Lower upfront costs but can become expensive for long-term engagements due to ongoing service fees.
3. Control and Quality
Offshore In-House: Provides greater control over the development process and quality of work.
Outsourcing: Less control, which can impact the consistency and quality of the output.
4. Flexibility and Scalability
Offshore In-House: Less flexible in scaling up or down quickly due to recruitment and training processes.
Outsourcing: Highly flexible and can quickly adapt to changing project requirements.
5. Risk Management
Offshore In-House: Lower risk of security breaches and better protection of intellectual property.
Outsourcing: Higher risk if the vendor lacks robust security protocols.
Conclusion
The decision between offshore in-house development and outsourcing depends on your company’s specific needs, project scope, budget, and strategic goals. Offshore in-house development offers greater control and integration, making it ideal for long-term projects and maintaining consistent quality. On the other hand, outsourcing provides flexibility and cost efficiency, especially for short-term projects requiring specialized skills.
By carefully evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, businesses can make informed decisions that align with their objectives and maximize their return on investment. | rashmihc060195 | |

1,893,283 | Streamlining Your Next.js Project with Private GitHub/Gitlab Repositories as NPM Packages | Using Private GitHub/Gitlab Repos in Your Next.js Projects Imagine this scenario: you're... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:26:23 | https://dev.to/baliachbryan/streamlining-your-nextjs-project-with-private-githubgitlab-repositories-as-npm-packages-35oj | nextjs, npm, webdev, typescript |
### Using Private GitHub/Gitlab Repos in Your Next.js Projects
Imagine this scenario: you're working on a super cool Next.js project, and you have some shared code that you'd like to use across multiple projects. You don't really want to make it public by publishing it to npm. You also don't want to pay for an npm account to make your repos private. Is there a way to keep it private, secure, yet reusable? You bet!
You can find the [original blog here.](https://www.balysnotes.com/streamlining-nextjs-projects-with-private-npm-repositories)
In the world of Next.js v13.4 and beyond, using private GitHub or GitLab repositories as npm packages is not only possible, it's also quite straightforward. The steps vary for older versions of Next.js before v13.4 (those using Page Router) and won't be covered in this blog.
Essentially, we’ll be taking code from a private GitHub or GitLab repository and using it directly in our Next.js project. This method is perfect when you have shared components, utilities, or any other code that you need to reuse across several projects, but don't want to expose to the world (or persevere through the overhead of setting up an npm account).
Today, I'll walk you through the steps to make this happen. Buckle up, because we're about to make your life a whole lot easier!
#### Step 1: Create Your Private GitHub Repo
This is where your shared code will live. If you already have one, fantastic. If not, go ahead and create a new private repository on GitHub or Gitlab.
#### Step 2: Generate a GitHub Access Token
1. Navigate to your GitHub settings (or Gitlab settings for those using Gitlab).
2. Create a new personal access token (make sure it only has read access).
3. Copy this token and keep it safe (you’ll need it soon).
#### Step 3: Set Up Your Shared Repo
In your shared repository's `package.json`, set the `name` field to whatever you'd like to call your package, e.g., `"package-name": "1.0.0"`.
#### Step 4: Update Your Next.js Project’s `package.json`
In the `package.json` of the Next.js project where you want to use your shared code:
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"package-name": "git+https://<github_token>:x-oauth-basic@github.com/<user>/<repo>.git#branch-name"
}
}
```
Replace `<github_token>`, `<user>`, `<repo>`, and `branch-name` with the appropriate values from your setup.
#### Final Steps: Configuration in Next.js
1. In your `next.config.js`, add the following:
```javascript
module.exports = {
transpilePackages: ["package-name"],
};
```
This tells Next.js to also compile your typescript code from the shared repo and transform it to javascript - that's basically what transpile means; a combination of the word 'transform' and 'compile'. Without this, you'll get module parsing errors for your typescript (.ts) files.
2. If you're using Tailwind CSS, update your `tailwind.config.js` to include your shared package:
```javascript
module.exports = {
content: [
"./node_modules/<package_name>/src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,html,mdx}",
"./node_modules/<package_name>/app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,html,mdx}",
],
//… other tailwind config
};
```
Replace `<package_name>` with the name of your shared repo. Also, if you aren't using the `src` folder, feel free to adjust the values according to your setup
3. Now run `npm install` and voila! your shared package has now been installed as an NPM dependency and you can use it in your project.
#### Before We Finish Just Yet
Always remember to update the version number in your package.json with a higher value each time you make a change to your shared repo. After words, run `npm update <package_name>` where `<package_name>` is the name of your shared package/repo. This will ensure that your changes in the shared package's changes are published to your project.
### Conclusion
Incorporating private GitHub repos as npm packages in your Next.js projects not only keeps your code organized and secure but also significantly boosts your productivity. You no longer need to duplicate code or compromise your privacy by publishing sensitive code to public registries.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and streamline your projects today. And remember, it’s these smart shortcuts that often make a big difference in the efficiency and success of your development efforts. | baliachbryan |

##Explainer
When I started programing, there is this notion going round that "Java is harder than Python". Python is my first language, after hitting some millstones in python, I started java.
From the onset I found java so difficult to comprehend but going deeper, I found java so accommodating, crystal clear and self-explained.
In many occasions I will have to go back to Java to understand many concepts that I couldn't understand in python, especially oops and its sub-concepts.
Python is vague and Java is Verbose. | aliyualbako |

A Comprehensive Guide to the Production Process by Denzong Films
2D animation has been a cornerstone of the entertainment industry for decades, captivating audiences with its unique charm and storytelling capabilities. But what exactly is 2D animation, and why is it still so relevant today? Let’s explore the world of 2D animation and delve into its production process, featuring insights from Denzong Films, a premier video production company in Bangalore.
Understanding 2D Animation: Video Production Company in Bangalore
2D animation involves creating movement in a two-dimensional space, using sequences of images called frames. This art form dates back to the early 1900s with the creation of the first animated films. Over the years, 2D animation has evolved, incorporating new techniques and technologies to enhance its visual appeal.
Evolution of 2D Animation Techniques: Video Production Agency in Bangalore
From hand-drawn animations to digital techniques, 2D animation has seen significant advancements. The transition from traditional cel animation to computer-assisted animation has streamlined the production process, making it more efficient and accessible.
The 2D Animation Production Process
Concept Development
The first step in any animation project is concept development. This involves brainstorming ideas, defining the storyline, and setting the overall tone of the animation.
Scriptwriting
Once the concept is clear, the next step is scriptwriting. A well-crafted script serves as the blueprint for the animation, outlining dialogues, actions, and key scenes.
Storyboarding
Storyboarding is the process of visualizing the script through sketches. It helps in planning the flow of the animation and ensures that all elements are in place before the actual production begins.
Character Design
Character design is a crucial aspect of 2D animation. It involves creating unique and relatable characters that will bring the story to life.
Background Design
Background design sets the stage for the animation. It involves creating detailed environments that complement the characters and enhance the storytelling.
Animation and Rigging
Keyframe Animation
Keyframe animation is the technique of defining pivotal points in an animation sequence. These keyframes serve as reference points for animating the movement and transitions.
Rigging Characters for Animation
Rigging involves creating a skeletal structure for characters, allowing them to move naturally. This step is essential for ensuring fluid and realistic animation.

[GROWI](https://growi.org/ja/), an open source in-house wiki, provides a plug-in feature. You can use it to display your own data or customize the display.
In this article, we have developed a plug-in to display graphs in GROWI, and we will explain its contents.
## Plug-in developed
We developed [a GROWI plugin that displays what is entered in a code tag in QuickChart](https://github.com/goofmint/growi-plugin-quickchart), using code tags within GROWI, quickchart as the language, it switches to displaying a graph.
For example, the following is an example of displaying a bar chart.
` ` `quickchart
{
type: 'bar', data: {`data
data: {
labels: [2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016], datasets: [{
datasets: [{
label: 'Users', data: { labels: [2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016], datasets: [{ type: 'bar
data: [120, 60, 50, 180, 120]
}]
}
}
` ` `
## About QuickChart
QuickChart is a service and open source software that generates graphs using URLs; by specifying parameters in the URL, you can specify the type of graph and data.
For example, the bar chart shown earlier is created with the following URL request.
```
https://quickchart.io/chart?c={type:'bar',data:{labels:[2012,2013,2014,2015, 2016],datasets:[{label:'Users',data:[120,60,50,180,120 ]}]}}
```
In addition to bar graphs, the system supports the display of pie charts, line charts, radar charts, funnel charts, and other common graphs, so it seems to be easy to use.
[Chart Types \| QuickChart](https://quickchart.io/documentation/chart-types/)
What makes me especially happy is that QuickChart is open source software, and since GROWI is also open source software, if you set it up in-house, you can use it without information going out.
If you set it up yourself, the endpoint URL will change, so you will need to specify the URL with the `url` key. You can also specify the display size with the `width` and `height` keys.
The default is as follows.
` ``quickchart
{
url: "https://quickchart.io/chart",
width: "100%", height: "auto", height: "auto
height: "auto"
// Graph information below.
}
` ``
## Plugin Development
When developing a plugin, we use the [template introduced recently](https://qiita.com/goofmint/items/497ea7dd722528cfa0cb) as a base.
[goofmint/growi-plugin-script-template: this is a template for creating a GROWI script plugin.](https://github.com/goofmint/growi-plugin- script-template)
### Rename
Rename the plugin.
```json
{
"name": "growi-plugin-quickchart", // change
"version": "1.0.0", // change
"description": "GROWI plugin for generate chart/graph", // Change
:
}
```
Install the libraries needed for plugin development.
```bash
$ yarn
```
### Rename the file.
Rename `src/Hello.tsx` to `src/QuickChart.tsx`. Do not use `src/Hello.css` in this plugin.
### Edit `src/QuickChart.tsx`
In this file, the display process is divided according to the language name specified in the code block. If you specify `quickchart`, you will get the class name `language-quickchart`.
```tsx
const URL = 'https://quickchart.io/chart';
const WIDTH = '100%';
const HEIGHT = 'auto';
export const QuickChart = (Tag: React.FunctionComponent<any>): React.FunctionComponent<any> => {
return ({ children, className, . .props }) => {
if (className ! == 'language-quickchart') {
return (
<Tag {. .props}>{children}</Tag>
);
}
const json = JSON.parse(children);
const { url, width, height } = json; }
['url', 'width', 'height'].forEach(key => delete json[key]);
return (
<img
src={`${url || URL}?c=${JSON.stringify(json)}`}
width={width || WIDTH}
height={height || HEIGHT}
/>
);
};
};
```
### Editing client-entry.tsx
Edit `client-entry.tsx` to override the processing of `code` tags. This will send all `code` tag-related processing to `QuickChart`.
```tsx
const activate = (): void => {
if (growiFacade == null || growiFacade.markdownRenderer == null) {
return;
}
const { optionsGenerators } = growiFacade.markdownRenderer;
optionsGenerators.customGenerateViewOptions = (. .args) => {
const options = optionsGenerators.generateViewOptions(. .args);
const { code } = options.components;
options.components.code = QuickChart(code);
return options;
};
};
```
## About the code
This plugin is available at When you use this plugin, please specify `https://github.com/goofmint/growi-plugin-quickchart/` in the GROWI plugin management.
[goofmint/growi-plugin-quickchart: GROWI scirpt plugin to generate chart/graph by QuickChart. https://quickchart.io/](https://github.com/ goofmint/growi-plugin-quickchart/)
## Summary
The GROWI plugin makes it very easy to achieve customization of the display content. This time it is the `code` tag, but you can also customize other tags such as the `img` tag and the `table` tag.
Please develop a plugin and make GROWI more useful!

1,893,281 | Automated Unit Testing: Enhancing Software Quality and Efficiency | Automated unit testing is a cornerstone of modern software development practices, playing a crucial... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:06:36 | https://dev.to/keploy/automated-unit-testing-enhancing-software-quality-and-efficiency-2lci | unittest, testing, opensource, softwaredevelopment |
Automated unit testing is a cornerstone of modern software development practices, playing a crucial role in ensuring code quality, reliability, and maintainability. This article explores the principles, benefits, and best practices of automated unit testing, providing a comprehensive guide for developers looking to implement or improve their testing strategies.
What is Automated Unit Testing?
Unit testing involves testing individual components or units of a software application in isolation to ensure they function as intended. [Automated unit testing](https://keploy.io/ai-code-generation) refers to the use of software tools to execute these tests automatically, allowing for more efficient and consistent testing compared to manual approaches.
A unit test typically:
1. Isolates a small part of the application, such as a function or method.
2. Executes the code with a set of predefined inputs.
3. Verifies that the output matches the expected result.
Automated unit tests are written once and can be run repeatedly, often as part of a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
Benefits of Automated Unit Testing
The advantages of automated unit testing are manifold, contributing significantly to the software development lifecycle:
1. Early Bug Detection: Unit tests identify bugs early in the development process, making them easier and cheaper to fix.
2. Code Quality: Writing unit tests encourages developers to write more modular, reusable, and maintainable code.
3. Regression Prevention: Automated tests can be rerun to ensure that new changes do not introduce regressions or break existing functionality.
4. Documentation: Unit tests serve as a form of documentation, demonstrating how individual units are expected to behave.
5. Refactoring Confidence: With a comprehensive suite of unit tests, developers can refactor code confidently, knowing that tests will catch any unintended changes.
6. Efficiency: Automated tests save time by eliminating the need for repetitive manual testing, allowing developers to focus on writing new features.
Best Practices for Automated Unit Testing
To maximize the effectiveness of automated unit testing, developers should adhere to several best practices:
1. Write Testable Code: Design code with testing in mind. This often means writing smaller, more focused functions and avoiding tight coupling between components.
2. Use Mocks and Stubs: Isolate the unit under test by using mocks and stubs to simulate dependencies. This ensures that tests are fast and reliable.
3. Follow the AAA Pattern: Structure tests using the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern:
o Arrange: Set up the necessary conditions and inputs.
o Act: Execute the unit under test.
o Assert: Verify that the outcome matches the expected result.
4. Keep Tests Independent: Ensure that each test is independent and can run in any order. Tests should not rely on shared state or the results of other tests.
5. Test Edge Cases: Include tests for edge cases and boundary conditions to ensure the unit handles all possible inputs gracefully.
6. Use Descriptive Names: Name tests clearly and descriptively to convey their purpose and make it easier to understand what is being tested.
7. Maintain Test Code: Just like production code, test code should be well-maintained, refactored, and reviewed regularly.
Tools and Frameworks for Automated Unit Testing
Several tools and frameworks are available to facilitate automated unit testing across different programming languages:
• JUnit: A widely-used testing framework for Java, providing annotations and assertions to write and organize tests.
• pytest: A powerful testing framework for Python, known for its simple syntax and robust feature set.
• JUnit: A popular JavaScript testing framework, often used with libraries like React and Node.js.
• NUnit: A testing framework for .NET applications, offering a range of features for writing and executing tests.
• RSpec: A behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for Ruby, promoting readable and maintainable test code.
Implementing Automated Unit Testing in CI/CD
Integrating automated unit testing into a CI/CD pipeline ensures that tests are run automatically on every code change, providing immediate feedback to developers. A typical workflow includes:
1. Code Commit: Developers commit code changes to a version control system (VCS) like Git.
2. Build Trigger: The CI/CD pipeline is triggered by the commit, initiating the build process.
3. Test Execution: Automated unit tests are run as part of the build process. Test results are reported back to the development team.
4. Feedback Loop: If tests fail, the build is marked as failed, and developers are notified to fix the issues before merging the changes.
5. Deployment: Once all tests pass, the code can be deployed to staging or production environments.
Challenges and Limitations
While automated unit testing offers numerous benefits, it also presents certain challenges:
1. Initial Setup: Setting up an automated testing framework and writing the initial suite of tests can be time-consuming.
2. Maintenance: Test code requires maintenance, particularly when the application code changes. This can add to the overall development workload.
3. False Positives/Negatives: Poorly written tests can lead to false positives or negatives, reducing trust in the test suite.
4. Complex Scenarios: Some scenarios are difficult to test at the unit level and may require integration or end-to-end tests to cover adequately.
Conclusion
Automated unit testing is a critical practice for modern software development, enhancing code quality, reliability, and efficiency. By adhering to best practices and leveraging the right tools, developers can create robust test suites that catch bugs early, prevent regressions, and provide a safety net for refactoring. While there are challenges to implementing and maintaining automated tests, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment, making it an essential component of any successful development strategy.

Building JavaScript Array Methods from Scratch in 2024 - Easy tutorial for beginners. | Video version link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DE4-o23tPc Continuing our series of building... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:05:48 | https://dev.to/itric/2-building-javascript-array-methods-from-scratch-in-2024-easy-tutorial-for-beginners-4apf | javascript, beginners, tutorial, learning | Video version link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DE4-o23tPc
Continuing our series of building javaScript method from Scratch for beginners, in this blog we will be making these 2 methods :
1. Array.push()
2. Array.concat()
and to make these methods we are allowed to use method that we have already build ,so let’s start.
Same as previous post,
First i will be introducing the array method with their example input and output, then we will examine those methods, identifying which programming tools and tricks to used and in which order to arrange them. Along that process we will build pseudocode algorithm for required function and later on, i will show you flowchart version of that algorithm, the important tip that i can give to you all, to get most out of this blog, is to first try to build it by yourself then come to this blog.
1. Array.push():
First is Array.push() method, The push method of array instances adds the specified elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
So, from looking at example input and output and definition of the method , we have to somehow calculate length of array and then return it. Well, remember we could use methods that we have already build, so we could use length method, actually property to find length of array.
Next, we have to add given element to the end of an array, but we can’t use push method so, how? Well, let’s go to basics, remember:
" JavaScript programming language supports dynamic arrays, which means that the array data structure can automatically adjust its size to accommodate new elements as they are added. This capability allows for flexible and efficient management of collections of data without needing to manually allocate and manage memory or resize the array."
Supporting dynamic arrays means that the array data structure can automatically adjust its size to accommodate new elements as they are added. This capability allows for flexible and efficient management of collections of data without needing to manually allocate and manage memory or resize the array.
### Key Features of Dynamic Arrays:
1. **Automatic Resizing**:
- Dynamic arrays grow or shrink automatically as elements are added or removed. This is in contrast to static arrays, which have a fixed size that cannot be changed after they are created.
2. **Efficient Memory Management**:
- Dynamic arrays manage memory allocation and reallocation internally. When the array reaches its capacity, it typically allocates a larger block of memory, copies the existing elements to the new block, and then continues adding new elements.
3. **Ease of Use**:
- Users can add, remove, or access elements without worrying about the underlying memory management. This makes dynamic arrays much easier to use compared to static arrays, especially when the number of elements can vary.
### Examples in Various Languages:
### JavaScript
JavaScript arrays are inherently dynamic:
```
let arr = [1, 2, 3];
arr.push(4); // Adds an element to the end of the array
console.log(arr); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
```
Python
Python lists are dynamic:
```
arr = [1, 2, 3]
arr.append(4) # Adds an element to the end of the list
print(arr) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
```
Java
Java's ArrayList is a dynamic array:
```
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<>();
arr.add(1);
arr.add(2);
arr.add(3);
arr.add(4); // Adds an element to the end of the ArrayList
System.out.println(arr); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
}
}
```
C++
C++'s std::vector is a dynamic array:
```
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::vector<int> arr = {1, 2, 3};
arr.push_back(4); // Adds an element to the end of the vector
for (int i : arr) {
std::cout << i << " ";
}
// Output: 1 2 3 4
return 0;
}
```
Another thing to note is,
arrays are zero-indexed, which means the first element is at index 0, the second element is at index 1, and so on. The length property (or equivalent) of an array provides the total number of elements in the array.
When you add an element to the end of an array, you place it at the index equal to the current length of the array because:
1.The indices of the existing elements range from 0 to length - 1.
2.The next available position is at the index length.
so, we just have to directly add or assign the element at the length index slash next available index.
Now, its time to make rough draft of our algorithm, first initialize function cause we are making a function, let’s name it push taking two parameters array and element to add. Then assign element to array at next available index that would be length of an array. Finally, return array’s length.
Pseudocode:
- Initialize function named push
- assign element to array at next available index (length)
- return array’s length
Here a flowchart representation of our algorithm: nothing complex
Now let’s code it up with javaScript:
In this implementation:
1. The new element `ele` is added at the index `arr.length`, which is the next available position in the array.
2. The length of the array is incremented automatically.
3. The function returns the new length of the array.
This custom `push` function works similarly to the native `Array.prototype.push` method. It modifies the original array and returns the new length of the array.
2. Array.concat():
Next is array’s concat method. The **concat** method of [Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array) instances is used to merge two or more arrays. This method does not change the existing arrays, but instead returns a new array.
So, how can we merge two arrays? If you think about it , merging an arrays is same as, taking individual elements and placing it in correct order into bigger array.
So, next logical step would be, if somehow expands the arrays into individual elements. And place them into larger array, then return that. that could work.
Now, the question is how to expands the arrays into individual elements? Well, let’s go home again, i mean the basics. In array, we have study about spread operator, which does exactly what we need, which is to expands the array into individual elements.
and to concatenate, place the spread arrays inside square brackets ,we create a new array that includes all elements from both arrays.
Now, time for annoying part or for some or most, the fun part, edge case. What if passed down arguments aren’t of type array. For that, just throw an error.
so, updating our algorithm, check if both arrays are of type array. If not, then throw an appropriate error like “Both arguments should be arrays”.
Pseudocode :
- initialize function named concat.
- check if both arrays are of type array
- If not, then throw an appropriate error
- return a array inside which, two spread array in placed
Here a flowchart representation of our algorithm: nothing complex
Now let’s code it up with javaScript:
The spread operator (...) in JavaScript allows an iterable such as an array to be expanded in places where zero or more arguments (for function calls) or elements (for array literals) are expected. This makes it a powerful tool for array manipulation, including concatenation.
How the Spread Operator Works
When you use the spread operator with arrays, it effectively breaks down the array into individual elements. This can then be used to create a new array containing elements from multiple arrays.
Example of Spread Operator for Concatenation
Here's an example to illustrate how the spread operator works for array concatenation:
```
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const arr3 = [4, 5, 6];
// Using the spread operator to concatenate arrays
const concatenatedArray = [...arr, ...arr3];
console.log(concatenatedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
```
### Step-by-Step Explanation
1. **Spread Syntax**: The spread operator `...arr` expands the array `arr` into individual elements. Similarly, `...arr3` expands `arr3`.
2. **Concatenation**: By placing the spread arrays inside square brackets `[ ...arr, ...arr3 ]`, we create a new array that includes all elements from both `arr` and `arr3`.
### Detailed Breakdown
- **Initial Arrays**:
- `const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const arr3 = [4, 5, 6];`
- **Using Spread Operator**:
```jsx
const concatenatedArray = [...arr, ...arr3];
```
This is equivalent to:
```jsx
const concatenatedArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
```
- **Output**:
```jsx
console.log(concatenatedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
```
### Implementation in a Function
Here's the complete code including a function to concatenate arrays with input validation:
```jsx
function concat(arr, secondArray) {
// Check if both inputs are arrays
if (!Array.isArray(arr) || !Array.isArray(secondArray)) {
throw new TypeError('Both arguments should be arrays');
}
// Concatenate arrays using the spread operator
return [...arr, ...secondArray];
}
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const arr3 = [4, 5, 6];
console.log(concat(arr, arr3)); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
```
By leveraging the spread operator, array concatenation becomes more straightforward and intuitive.
```jsx
Thank you for reading, that's all for today.

That’s Luca Rossi tuning in via Hybrid Hacker as they joined forces this week with Refactoring. Exciting times! We could call 2024 the year of engineering intelligence. With a new wave of KPIs coming in to confuse everyone with acronym’s like DORA, SPACE, DevEx, TT and Flow.
Here’s a practical approach to engineering metrics from Luca:
🎯 Goal of metrics — Set clear expectations to avoid chasing your tail.
🚦 Types of metrics — The most important part, we prepared a summary below
🏁 How to get started — Put it into practice gently with your team
👑 Advice from the best — Luca connected with CEOs and Founders of software engineering and intelligence tools, including Typo’s Kovid 👋
It’s genuinely hard to point at many things that all software teams do, which in turn makes it hard to build products to improve them.
That said, I believe we are at a tipping point now, where there is finally more consolidation, many workflows have been figured out, and we have a better idea of what an elite engineering team looks like.
Like all models, metrics are imperfect. They only capture a part of the real thing, Luca emphasises, “They gives you clues, but never the whole picture.“ Many managers get frustrated by this as the temptation to silo the department and measure it with local KPIs is a lucrative illusion for anyone seeking certainty in the business.
Luca helps us clue together the various metrics frameworks by focusing on what he calls the WIP model, that stands for:
❤️ Wellbeing—How the team is doing
⚖️ Investment—What the team is doing
📈 Productivity—How the team is doing it

## Best Cloud Platforms for Web Application Development
It can be a bit tricky to choose the right web development services or the best cloud platform for your Web apps or other app development services. This is because choosing the right cloud-based platform is not something that is to be taken lightly especially when it is a trying-out session for the first time.
It is important to understand what kind of cloud-based service is required for your business. Some of the examples are SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
**1. PaaS**
Platform as a service also called PaaS is a platform-based service that provides users with a complete software environment for creating mobile/web applications. It provides effective tools for the accurate composition of the surrounding software environment. This includes the operating system, hardware, OS (operating system), testing and development tools.
**Advantages of PaaS Platform**
- This requires minimum coding
- You can easily customize the application
- The usage is more flexible
- It is easier to understand and use as the mechanism is simple
- There are a lot of convenient options.
**Disadvantages of PaaS Platform**
- It locks the platform
- Usually, access is restricted for others
- There are several integration challenges that one can face
- The performance of the platform is substandard.
There are various benefits of using this Platform as a Service as mentioned. However, PaaS is considered a basic element for e-commerce websites or mobile app building. The cloud developers opt for it because it is budget-friendly and light compared to the other services available. PaaS does require some experience in database deployment and business reasoning for the project.
**2. SaaS**
SaaS also famously known as Software as a Service is a leading software that is provided over the Internet on a subscription basis. This can be a good option if your business has time constraints and is not able to reach the deadline to create the complete framework which includes developing and deploying the app.
One of the famous examples of a SaaS product is Amazon’s Lambda. This is used to add specific functions to a mobile application. One can easily build a task app as it has become easier with the help of SaaS. This can automatically scale and requires zero administration.
**Advantages of SaaS**
- The cost price for app development is reduced
- It has a Multi-tenant distribution model
- The maintenance of the services is easier on this platform
- You can access your development faster
- You have the independence to choose your device and location
- The data analytics provided are improved i.e. accuracy is good
**Disadvantages of SaaS**
- There is a security issue related to the Time-intensive
- This platform bound the user to Contractual obligations
- The localization of data is a bit of a problem
- Data control is another issue with the platform
Overall this cloud-based platform is good for short-term cloud services for Web apps. Also if you are looking for a temporary cross-platform app development company collaboration with a specific type of user base then you can use SaaS.
**3. IaaS**
Infrastructure as a Service IaaS is a cloud-based service for the deployment purpose of operating systems (OS) as well as programs. It offers online access to resources such as storage, networks, and servers. This can also be realized through the process of data virtualization and without any need to maintain your infrastructure. It is similar to renting a physical server but for online use only.
**Advantages of IaaS**
- There is a very minimum management cost
- The platform has no administrative issue
- You get options for payment like the Pay-per-use option
- No cost to building a big infrastructure
- The reliability of this platform is high
**Disadvantages of IaaS**
- The flexibility is restricted
- You have limited control over the infrastructure
- A good bandwidth is required
- You have to cover the ongoing costs
- There can be some security issue
The developer gets the scalability and full control of infrastructure along with the highest levels of customization. Various businesses require services that mainly belong to the telecommunication or e-commerce industries.
## Conclusion
Cloud-based computing has brought a revolution in terms of working on applications and providing services on the cloud-based twerk. Connectivity and communication have become stronger through these services. You can access your application and other data online. There is no need to install heavy infrastructure and put a large sum of investment into the same. They provide additional options such as application development.

Application components are the essential building blocks of an Android application. Each component is a different point through which the system can enter your application. Not all components are actual entry points for the user and some depend on each other, but each one exists as its own entity and plays a specific role—each one is a unique building block that helps define your application’s overall behavior.
---
## Activities
> An activity represents a single, full-screen user interface (UI) within your application.
Each activity focuses on a specific task or feature, providing a cohesive and focused experience for the user. It's the primary touchpoint for user interaction within your application.
> To navigate transitions between stages of the activity lifecycle, the Activity class provides a core set of six callbacks: `onCreate()`, `onStart(`), `onResume()`, `onPause()`, `onStop()`, and `onDestroy()`. The system invokes each of these callbacks as an activity enters a new state.
Here's a basic example of an activity written in Kotlin:
```
class MainActivity : Activity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
}
}
```
This code defines a `MainActivity `class that inherits from the Activity class. The `onCreate `method, overridden here, is called when the activity is first created. This is where you would typically inflate your layout (the visual design of the screen) using `setContentView `and set up UI elements for user interaction.
<u>**Key Points:**
- Activities manage the application's lifecycle, meaning they are created, paused, resumed, and destroyed as the user navigates through the app.
- Each activity is independent, allowing different applications to potentially launch specific activities within your app (if permissions allow).
- For a more feature-rich UI, activities often work together, passing data and triggering actions between them.
- Activities can handle user input through UI elements like buttons, text fields, and touch gestures.
- They can also launch other activities or system services within the Android framework.
---
## Services
> A Service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background, and it doesn't provide a user interface.
Unlike activities, **services run in the background to perform long-running operations or tasks for remote processes.** They don't provide a UI directly.
A service can be started, bound, or both:
>1. Started
>>A service is "started" when an application component (such as an activity) starts it by calling `startService()`. Once started, a service can run in the background indefinitely, even if the component that started it is destroyed. Usually, a started service performs a single operation and does not return a result to the caller. For example, it might download or upload a file over the network. When the operation is done, the service should stop itself. The service runs indefinitely and must stop itself by calling `stopSelf()`. Another component can also stop the service by calling `stopService()`. When the service is stopped, the system destroys it.
>2. Bound
>>A service is "bound" when an application component binds to it by calling `bindService()`. A bound service offers a client-server interface that allows components to interact with the service, send requests, get results, and even do so across processes with interprocess communication (IPC). A bound service runs only as long as another application component is bound to it. Multiple components can bind to the service at once, but when all of them unbind, the service is destroyed. The service is created when another component (a client) calls `bindService()`. The client then communicates with the service through an `IBinder` interface. The client can close the connection by calling `unbindService()`. Multiple clients can bind to the same service and when all of them unbind, the system destroys the service. The service does not need to stop itself.
>3. Foreground
>>A foreground service performs some operation that is noticeable to the user. For example, an audio app would use a foreground service to play an audio track. Foreground services must display a Notification. Foreground services continue running even when the user isn't interacting with the app. Although both Activities and Services can be killed if the system is low on memory, a foreground service has priority over other resources. To request that a service run in the foreground, call `startForeground()` instead of `startService()`.
Here's a simplified example of a service:
```
class MyService : Service() {
override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent?, flags: Int, startId: Int): Int {
// Perform background task here
return START_STICKY
}
}
```
This code defines a `MyService `class that extends the `Service `class. The `onStartCommand` method is called when the service is started, typically by an `activity` or another component. This is where you would place your background operations, like playing music or fetching data from a network.
**<u>Key Points:</u>**
- Services are ideal for long-running tasks that shouldn't be interrupted by the user interacting with the UI.
- They can be started, stopped, or bound to by other components in your application.
- There are different service lifecycle methods to handle various scenarios, such as when the system is running low on memory.
- Services can run even when the user is not actively using the application, as long as the system allows it.
- They can communicate with activities or other components through mechanisms like intents or binders.

## Broadcast Receivers
> Broadcast receivers are lightweight components that listen for system-wide broadcast announcements.
Broadcasts are messages that the Android system and Android apps send when events occur that might affect the functionality of other apps. These announcements can originate from the system itself (e.g., low battery) or from other applications.
There are two types of broadcasts:
1. System broadcasts are delivered by the system.
2. Custom broadcasts are delivered by your app.
Apps can receive broadcasts in two ways:
1. Manifest-declared receivers
2. Context-registered receivers
> There are two kinds of Broadcast Receivers.
1. Static Broadcast Receivers: These types of Receivers are declared in the manifest file and works even if the app is closed.
2. Dynamic Broadcast Receivers: These types of receivers work only if the app is active or minimized.
Here's an example of a broadcast receiver:
```
class BatteryLevelReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
val level = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1)
// Handle low battery level if needed
}
}
```
**<u>Key Points:</u>**
- Broadcast receivers are event-driven, meaning they are triggered only when a specific broadcast is sent. This makes them efficient for reacting to system changes or application events without constantly monitoring the system state.
- They are lightweight and have a simple lifecycle, making them suitable for short-lived tasks like updating the UI based on a broadcast.
- Broadcast receivers can be registered dynamically at runtime or declared statically in the Android Manifest file. This allows for flexibility in how you choose to listen for broadcasts.
- They cannot directly interact with the UI themselves. However, they can trigger actions within activities or services that can then update the UI or perform other necessary actions.
- Broadcast receivers can be permission-protected, ensuring that only authorized applications can receive specific broadcasts.
---
## Content Providers
Content providers act as a central hub for managing shared sets of application data. They allow other applications to access and potentially modify this data, if your content provider grants permission.
> These are handled by the class ContentResolver class. This class implements a set of APIs(Application Programming Interface) that enables the other applications to perform the transactions. Any Content Provider must implement the Parent Class of ContentProvider class.
Here's a peek at a content provider :
```
class NoteProvider : ContentProvider() {
override fun onCreate(): Boolean {
// Initialize content provider
return true
}
// Implement methods for querying and modifying data
}
```
This code defines a `NoteProvider` class extending the `ContentProvider `class. The `onCreate `method is used for initialization. Content providers offer a standard set of methods for other applications to interact with the data, including querying for specific information or updating existing data.
**<u>Key Points:</u>**
- Content providers are useful for sharing data between your application and others, enabling functionalities like contact access or data exchange.
- They can also be used for private data management within your application.
- Security is crucial when dealing with content providers, as you control access permissions for other applications.
- Content providers offer a structured way to access and modify data, often using a relational database model.
- They can be used to synchronize data between your application and other applications or services.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, Android applications are built upon four fundamental components: activities, services, content providers, and broadcast receivers.
**Activities** represent individual screens with user interfaces, providing the primary touchpoint for user interaction.
**Services** handle long-running background tasks, operating independently of the UI.
**Content providers** manage shared sets of data, enabling data exchange between your application and others.
**Broadcast receivers** act as event listeners, responding to system-wide announcements and triggering appropriate actions.

Reaching the... | 0 | 2024-06-19T08:00:49 | https://dev.to/coveylawsuit/important-information-for-geometry-dash-players-5ga1 | game | In order to finish levels in the game Geometry Dash, the player must use their senses. Reaching the end of each level requires deft use of the audio and visual elements, timing your clicks, and overcoming obstacles. Both rapid reflexes and exact timing are needed for this.
This article will give you the information you need to keep your entire attention on the platforming while exploring different levels and adjust to changes in the level's rhythm. Engaging in Geometry Dash allows players to advance their abilities and solve rhythmic puzzles successfully.
Important information for [geometry dash](https://geometrydash-game.io) players
Begin on the main floor.
The primary stages are the greatest place to start, though there is a ton of content made by other players to peruse. It enables novices to encounter progressively more difficult obstacles while exploring various forms and portals.
It's a good idea to become familiar with every new aspect of the game by exploring the main levels, which will teach players new things about it. As players progress through the main levels, the difficulty will gradually rise from Easy to Demon, providing a progression pattern that lets players tackle the sea of challenges at a reasonable pace.
Put in a lot of work.
When a player begins a level, their first instinct might be to finish it in one try, but having to keep trying to eventually fails.
The best defense against this is to follow a training program. While there are no checkpoints in the game, players can create their own or save points can be automatically generated by the flexible practice mode, which averts potential issues.
Although it is not required to use the practice mode in order to pass every level, it can be very helpful, especially when starting out. This feature serves as a helpful tool for level exploration prior to attempt completion, providing helpful strategies to prevent any unforeseen challenges.
Disregard coins
The gameplay becomes more challenging as you gather coins. On the other hand, since secret coins can be hard to find, novice players shouldn't become fixated on them during their initial attempts.
After completing a level once, understanding how to collect all the coins becomes clearer and it becomes less challenging than the first attempt, when not familiar with the level.
Take note of the visual effects
Because visual effects enhance the overall gameplay experience and complement the rhythmic gameplay, the game depends on them to create a dynamic experience that blends seamlessly with other mechanics.
Players will come across a variety of interesting elements as they work to finish each level, which will lead them to the finish. Without awareness, people will naturally engage with these components, each of which will gently direct development. For this reason, it is crucial to pay attention to these components, such as foundations and obstacles, in order to make the way forward clear.
Although these effects have advantages, they can occasionally be annoying. It's important to focus only on the essential elements, as visual effects that are too flashy can distract gamers from the main elements, making it harder to concentrate and more stressful.
Pay close attention to the music you listen to.
Everyone is aware of the significance of the background music in each level of Geometry Dash, as it contributes an additional layer of rhythm and enhances the overall experience. The soundtrack works in tandem with the visual effects to establish a rhythm that encourages interaction with each platform.
People may need to turn off the sound in certain situations, even though it's important to pay attention to every beat in your music. Although music can help with concentration at first, gamers may become agitated or lose focus due to the constant efforts. | coveylawsuit |
1,893,272 | How to Provide Better Task Estimations for Your Team? | Providing accurate task estimations is a perennial challenge for software development teams.... | 0 | 2024-06-19T07:59:55 | https://dev.to/pratap2210/how-to-provide-better-task-estimations-for-your-team-3onm | productivity, career, softwaredevelopment, community |
Providing accurate task estimations is a perennial challenge for software development teams. Inaccurate estimations can lead to missed deadlines, budget overruns, and undue stress for your team. As a lead engineer or manager, there are several strategies you can implement to help your team improve their estimations. This blog will explore these strategies in detail, drawing from real-world experiences and best practices in the industry.
## Understand and Compensate for Bias
One of the first steps in improving task estimations is to help your team recognize and adjust for their own biases. Estimations can be skewed due to over-optimism or excessive pessimism. Encourage your team members to reflect on their past estimations and compare them with the actual time taken to complete tasks. This can help them identify patterns in their biases and make more informed adjustments in future estimates.
## Use Broader Value Ranges
Rather than pushing for precise estimates, encourage the use of broader value ranges. For example, distinguishing between tasks that will take 3 weeks versus 4 weeks can be challenging and often unnecessary. Instead, categorizing tasks into broader timeframes such as half-days, days, weeks, and months can provide sufficient detail for planning purposes without demanding unrealistic precision.
## Group Estimations and Discussions
Conducting group estimations can be highly effective. When team members provide their estimates individually and then discuss any significant discrepancies, it leads to more accurate and well-rounded estimations. Group discussions allow team members to consider different perspectives and factors they might not have initially accounted for, leading to more accurate and realistic estimates.
## Agile and Continuous Delivery
Agile methodologies have transformed the approach to software delivery and task estimation. Agile promotes the idea that software is never truly "done" and prioritizes continuous delivery of valuable features. By using Fibonacci sequences (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc.) for estimations, teams can better gauge the complexity and effort required for each task. Tasks estimated at 8 or higher are typically split into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Continuous backlog grooming and prioritization ensure that the most valuable tasks are always addressed first, without the need for rigid time commitments. Implementing automated tests and quality gates for each check-in helps maintain a robust and reliable codebase, facilitating continuous delivery.
## Ponderation Sheets for Legacy Projects
For teams working on legacy software, where changes can have unpredictable consequences, creating a "ponderation sheet" can be useful. This involves adjusting initial estimates based on known complexities and historical data. For example, touching a specific module might multiply the estimate by 1.5, 2, or even 3 times, or add a fixed number of days based on past experiences. While these adjustments are somewhat arbitrary, they can significantly improve estimation accuracy in complex environments.
## T-Shirt Sizing for Younger Projects
In younger projects, using T-shirt sizing (small, medium, large) or points can be effective. This method translates to broader timeframes, such as whether a task will take a day, a week, or an entire sprint. Tasks that require more than a sprint should be broken down into smaller, more manageable stories that can be completed within a week.
## Retrospectives
Regular retrospectives are crucial for improving estimations over time. During retrospectives, teams can review what worked well and what didn’t in previous sprints, including the accuracy of their estimations. This reflection helps teams continuously refine their estimation processes and adapt to changing circumstances.
## Consider the Working Environment
The working environment can significantly impact task estimations. For instance, bureaucratic environments may slow down progress, making tasks that would take a few days in a startup take much longer. Encourage your team to account for these environmental factors when making their estimates. This awareness comes with experience and should be continually evaluated and adjusted.
## Conclusion
Improving task estimations is an ongoing process that requires a combination of self-awareness, collaboration, agile practices, and continuous reflection. By implementing these strategies, you can help your team provide more accurate and realistic estimations, leading to better project planning and execution. Remember, the goal is not to achieve perfect precision but to make informed, realistic estimations that guide your team effectively.
By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning, your team can navigate the complexities of software development with greater confidence and success. | pratap2210 |

A virtual machine (VM) is an emulated or virtualized version of a physical computer that runs programmes and deploys apps using software rather than hardware.
Businesses may operate numerous virtual machines with various operating systems on a single device by using the memory, CPU, network interface, and storage of a single physical computer.
Assume you own a real computer, such as a desktop or laptop. Comparable to a computer within your computer is a virtual machine. It uses the hardware you already have and emulates a real computer with software. A virtual machine offers an environment that is totally separated and different from your actual computer. On a virtual machine, you may run many operating systems and programmes without compromising the functionality of your host computer. You may, for instance, build a virtual machine that runs Linux on a Windows PC and vice versa. They have a great deal of flexibility. On a single physical computer, you may build many virtual machines, each with its own operating system and set of apps. This enables you to have distinct settings for various tasks, such as experimenting with new software or applications, e.t.c.
Services for cloud computing offer resources and infrastructure that are reachable and available online. Azure allows you to set up and maintain cloud-based virtual machines, so even when your local computer is powered down, your server will always be operational.

These events not only introduce the product to the market but also create an initial buzz that can significantly influence its perception and acceptance by the target audience.
An often overlooked but pivotal element in these events is the use of [promo models in Miami](https://www.runwaywaiters.com/promotional-modeling-agency), and elsewhere. These individuals can make a substantial difference in the outcome of a launch or sampling event. Let's delve into the myriad ways promo models contribute to the success of these marketing endeavors.
**Amplifying Brand Image**
Promo models are the physical embodiment of the brand during launch events. They are selected to align with the brand’s image, values, and target demographic, making them an extension of the product itself. The presence of these models can greatly enhance the product’s appeal, creating a powerful first impression. Their professional and engaging demeanor allows attendees to associate the brand with positive attributes, such as sophistication, friendliness, and quality.
**Enhancing Customer Experience**
The interaction between promo models and potential customers can dramatically enrich the event experience. These models are trained to be knowledgeable about the product, enabling them to answer questions, demonstrate features, and articulate benefits in a persuasive manner. This active engagement not only educates the audience but also fosters a positive, memorable experience. This person-to-person interaction can be far more effective than passive advertising, as it builds a personal connection between the customer and the brand.
**Increasing Product Visibility**
Amidst the sea of products vying for attention, promo models can significantly boost visibility. Their presence attracts attention, drawing attendees to the product amidst competing distractions. Through live demonstrations, handing out samples, or guiding interactive experiences, promo models ensure the product stands out. This visibility is crucial in saturated markets where getting noticed is half the battle.
**Generating Buzz and Social Proof**
Promo models can be instrumental in generating buzz around a new product. Their interactions are not limited to the physical event; they often extend to social media, where photos and experiences shared by both the models and attendees can amplify the product's reach exponentially. In today’s digital age, this online engagement can be as important as the event itself. Additionally, the excitement and endorsement by promo models serve as social proof, influencing others to view the product more favorably.
**Driving Immediate Actions**
Perhaps one of the most concrete benefits of using promo models is their ability to encourage immediate action. Whether it’s signing up for more information, making a purchase, or simply trying a sample, promo models can persuasively steer customers towards these goals. Their interpersonal skills enable them to effectively communicate calls-to-action in a way that feels personal and engaging.
**Conclusion:**
The use of promo models and booth models in Miami, and elsewhere, in product launches and samplings should not be underestimated. Their contribution extends beyond mere aesthetic appeal to encompass brand representation, customer engagement, product visibility, buzz generation, and driving sales actions. As brands vie for attention in increasingly competitive markets, the strategic use of promo models can be a game-changer, transforming a standard launch into a memorable event that sets the stage for the product’s market success.

Is this a common occurrence?
Yesterday I published a post. It didn't get many views (7 at time of writing). That's fine. Par for the course. I would like more people to read my posts, but I'm not eye catching or interesting enough, I get it.
However, I gained 84 followers. My daily average follower increase is 0, so I'm pretty sure the reason is that I posted.
So I make a post, 84 people see I made a post and followed me, but didn't read my post? (Or bookmark it for later)
Why are you following me if you don't want to read my posts? What do you get out of this? | mellen |

Ever wondered about those mystical strings of code that transform the abstract into concrete? Here’s the kicker, we’re going to wax lyrical (and logical!) about `Console.WriteLine()` and friends. By the end of this post, you’ll be printing in C# like it’s child’s play.
### Brief Overview on C# Print Functions
Let’s start from scratch and lay the groundwork. Believe me, it won’t be a stay in Stagnantville. Drop in if you want to get cosy with the `print` function.
```csharp
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
```
This is your classic `Hello, World!` example. The `Console.WriteLine()` function is like your camera, capturing the essence of your variables and turning them into strings worth a thousand words— or bytes.
### Importance of Print Functions
Why are print functions important, you might ask? Well, why do birds fly? They just make life that much easier and more interesting! It’s our bread and butter (or pizza, if that’s your thing) in the world of debugging. They ought to be used wisely to turn those mysterious code errors into comprehensible logs.
```csharp
string bug = "An unexpected 404 error";
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + bug);
```
Well, that’s a clue, isn’t it? Always remember: the more information we have, the better we can solve our problems.
## How to Print
You’ve got to pay the cost to be the boss. You can’t just magic your way into printing in C#. It’s time to get our hands dirty with code.
### Print Basics
Here is the blueprint you need to print your heart out in C#. After reading this, you’ll be the Picasso of C# debugging.
```csharp
string printMe = "I love C# printing!";
Console.WriteLine(printMe);
```
Here we are, capturing feelings into code! The `WriteLine()` function is being fed a string, and then prints it out on the Console. As simple as melting butter on a hot pan.
### Considerations When Printing
Thinking of printing just anything and everything? Easy, cowboy. There are ground rules to consider. In this section, we will look closely at some key pointers to keep in mind before hitting that print button:
- Cost of printing: While printing might seem irresistible, console writing can slow down your execution speed.
- Format the output: To ensure clean, readable output, always format your prints.
- Think about threads: Printing, though simple, can stir up errors in multithreading environments.
## Different Data Types for Print
Now that we have mastered the basics, let’s take the plunge into the various data types in C#.
### How to Print in C# a Double
Imagine trying to describe the beauty of Beyoncé to an AI without using actual images. Difficult, right? This is where `doubles` come in handy. They allow you to play with decimal precision and maintain accuracy in your program.
```csharp
double myDouble = 1.23;
Console.WriteLine("My double value: " + myDouble);
```
Isn’t it refreshing to note that we aren’t constrained to whole numbers?
### Printing in C# an Array
Arrr, time to sail the sea of indices with our trusty ship, Arrays! Let’s see how we fare, shall we?
```csharp
int[] numArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
Console.WriteLine("My awesome array: " + String.Join(", ", numArray));
```
With one fell swoop, you just printed an entire array! Array-zing, isn’t it?
### Steps to Print a String
Strings are where it all begins and ends. They’re the proteins in our C# DNA.
```csharp
string myString = "C# rocks!";
Console.WriteLine(myString);
```
If you can print strings, you have unlocked the first level of C# mastery.
### The Process of Printing an Int
As crucial as John Wick at a standoff, integers (or `int` as the cool kids say) are important to your weapon cache in C#. Isn’t it nice to see whole numbers come to life?
```csharp
int myInt = 9001;
Console.WriteLine("It's over: " + myInt);
```
Yes, we did just use a meme to explain integers!
## Advanced Topics in Print Functions
Time to weave some complex spells. How about some character and hexadecimal printing? Remember: you’ve got the power, and with great power comes great… fun!
### Print Char
The smallest building block in a string, `char`, is of great significance in any programming language, let alone C#.
```csharp
char myChar = 'A';
Console.WriteLine("My character: " + myChar);
```
Did you know? If characters were coffee, strings would be your favourite cup of latte.
### Print Hex
Take a walk down Memory Lane. Hexadecimal printing can be as enigmatic as it is exciting.
```csharp
int num = 255;
Console.WriteLine("Hexadecimal: " + num.ToString("X"));
```
It’s like uncovering hidden messages!
### Printing an Integer
Before we sign off, let’s finalize our path to print enlightenment with integers.
```csharp
int myInteger = 300;
Console.WriteLine("My Integer: " + myInteger);
```
You’re officially ready to take on the world.
## Common Challenges and Solutions When Printing in C#
No one can boldly venture into any programming realm without encountering a few challenges here and there. Let’s delve deeper into some of the most common pitfalls and stumbling blocks you might encounter with print functions in C#, and most importantly, how to overcome them.
### Troubleshooting Common Print Issues
When the going gets tough, even the most seasoned C# programmers can stumble upon hurdles while handling print functions. Let’s shine a light on some of these common issues and the solutions to overcome them.
- Console not displaying output: This is a commonly encountered issue, especially if you are running a Windows desktop application. By default, Windows Form Applications or Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Apps don’t show a console. Consequently, anything you attempt to print using `Console.WriteLine()` will vanish. To overcome this, you could employ Debug.WriteLine() or MessageBox.Show(), which works well for Windows-based applications.
```csharp
Debug.WriteLine("This text will show in debug output window");
MessageBox.Show("This will display in a message box");
```
In the former line, `Debug.WriteLine()` prints output lines in the debug output window, trace listeners, and the console. Conversely, `MessageBox.Show()` displays the output as a pop-up message box, making it easier to debug.
- `getString()` not working: This might be a kickback from your Java programming days. But here’s the thing – C# isn’t Java. C# utilises `ToString()` instead of `getString()`. The appropriate usage would be, as illustrated:
```csharp
int myNumber = 500;
Console.WriteLine(myNumber.ToString());
```
In this example, we’re converting an integer to a string using `ToString()` method and print it out.
- Incorrect Format of Printed Values: This could be a common issue when printing data in C#, especially when dealing with floats, doubles, or dates. The `ToString()` method can accept format specifiers to control how the value is displayed:
```csharp
float PI = 3.14159f;
Console.WriteLine(PI.ToString("F2"));
```
In the above code, “F2” is a format specifier, specifying the number should display with two decimal places.
### Best Practices for C# Efficient Printing
Victory in the battleground of C# programming doesn’t just come from solving existing problems; it involves adopting best practices. Let’s take a look at a few recommendations for efficient printing in C#.
- Use StringBuilder for large strings: In scenarios where you are dealing with large strings or frequently appending strings, use the `StringBuilder` class. This is because regular string concatenation can be slower and lead to memory wastage due to the immutable nature of the string. Here’s an illustration:
```csharp
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.Append("Hello ");
builder.Append("World!");
Console.WriteLine(builder.ToString());
```
In this code, we’re creating a `StringBuilder` object and appending two strings before converting the Builder back to a string. This technique is much more memory efficient when dealing with large or numerous strings.
- Always close input/output streams: When working with files or network streams, always remember to close the stream after you’re done. This is important to free up system resources and prevent data leaks.
```csharp
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("test.txt");
sw.WriteLine("Closing the stream now!");
sw.Close();
```
In this example, we are creating a `StreamWriter` to write to a file named “test.txt”, printing a line, and then closing the `StreamWriter` with `Close()`. This immediately frees up the resources taken up by the `StreamWriter`.
- Utilize the power of formatted output: Too often, printed data can look messy and unformatted. Use string formatting to present your data elegantly.
```csharp
int apples = 5;
double price = 1.25;
Console.WriteLine($"I bought {apples} apples for a total price of {price}");
```
In this example, we’re using C# 6.0’s interpolated strings to embed variables directly into our string. This leads to a more understandable and clean output.
- Last but not least, whenever you’re parsing strings to numbers or date, make sure to handle exceptions properly. Parse operations can fail if the string format isn’t what you expect, leading to runtime errors.
```csharp
string numberString = "1234";
try
{
int number = int.Parse(numberString);
Console.WriteLine(number);
}
catch (FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Invalid number format");
}
```
In this example, we’re trying to parse a string to an integer. If that fails due to incorrect format, we handle the exception gracefully by printing an error message.
## Conclusion
Props for sticking with me thus far! C# print functions can be quite a friend if you play your cards right.
We’ve come a long way from “Hello, World!”. We’ve dived into various data types and unravelled the magic behind them. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned, and a whole lot of printing was done. | bytehide |

However, its... | 0 | 2024-06-19T07:40:58 | https://www.dynamsoft.com/codepool/desktop-camera-cpp-barcode-scanner.html | cpp, opencv, cmake, camera | **OpenCV** is a powerful library capable of handling a wide range of computer vision tasks. However, its comprehensive functionality can result in a large library size, which may be excessive for applications that only require **cross-platform camera streaming**. In this article, we will demonstrate how to slim down OpenCV to retain only the essential camera functionalities. We will then guide you through the process of building a desktop barcode scanner in C++ using the tailored OpenCV and **Dynamsoft C++ Barcode SDK v10.x** on Windows and Linux. A **CMake** project will be created to manage the build process efficiently.
## Prerequisites
- [Dynamsoft Barcode Reader Trial License](https://www.dynamsoft.com/customer/license/trialLicense/?product=dbr): You will receive a 30-day free trial license by email.
- [Dynamsoft C++ Barcode SDK v10.x](https://www.dynamsoft.com/barcode-reader/downloads/1000003-confirmation/): A ZIP package that contains the shared library and header files for Windows and Linux.
## Step 1: Tailoring OpenCV for Camera-Only Functionality
To reduce the size of OpenCV and include only the necessary components for camera streaming, you need to configure the OpenCV build process to exclude unnecessary modules. This involves specifying build options to disable certain features and modules that are not required for your application. Here's how you can do it:
1. Obtain the OpenCV source code from the official OpenCV repository on GitHub:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
cd opencv
```
2. Use CMake to configure the build options. We will disable all the non-essential modules and keep only the core, highgui, videoio, and imgproc modules needed for camera functionalities.
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_opencv_world=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_apps=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_calib3d=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_dnn=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_features2d=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_flann=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_gapi=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_ml=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_objdetect=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_photo=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_stitching=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_video=OFF -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF ..
```
3. Once the configuration is complete, build OpenCV with the specified options.
```bash
cmake --build . --config Release
```
By following these steps, you will have a streamlined version of OpenCV that includes only the necessary components for handling camera input, significantly reducing the library size. This tailored version of OpenCV will be used in the subsequent steps to build a desktop barcode scanner application in C++.
## Step 2: Setting Up the CMake Project with OpenCV Libraries
With the tailored version of OpenCV built, the next step is to set up a CMake project that utilizes these libraries to build a simplified camera library.
1. Set up the project directory structure as follows:
```bash
camera_lib/
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── example
| ├── CMakeLists.txt
| └── main.cpp
├── lib/
| ├── linux/
| | ├── libopencv_core.so
| | ├── libopencv_highgui.so
| | ├── libopencv_imgcodecs.so
| | ├── libopencv_imgproc.so
| | └── libopencv_videoio.so
│ └── windows/
| ├── opencv_core480.dll
| ├── opencv_highgui480.dll
| ├── opencv_imgcodecs480.dll
| ├── opencv_imgproc480.dll
| ├── opencv_videoio480.dll
| ├── opencv_core480.lib
| ├── opencv_highgui480.lib
| ├── opencv_imgcodecs480.lib
| ├── opencv_imgproc480.lib
| └── opencv_videoio480.lib
├── src/
│ ├── camera_lib.cpp
│ └── CMakeLists.txt
└── include/
├── camera_lib.h
└── opencv2
```
The CMake project is organized into several key directories: `src`, `example`, `lib`, and `include`. The `src` directory houses the source files for the camera library, which leverages the tailored OpenCV libraries. The `example` directory contains the main application file, showcasing how to use the camera library to implement barcode scanning functionality. The `lib` directory holds the OpenCV libraries for both Windows and Linux platforms. Finally, the `include` directory contains the header files necessary for the camera library and OpenCV.
2. Create the `CMakeLists.txt` file in the project root directory:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(camera_lib)
add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(example)
```
3. Create the `CMakeLists.txt` file in the `src` directory:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(camera_lib)
# Set the library path based on the operating system
if(WIN32)
link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/windows)
set(OPENCV_LIBS opencv_core480 opencv_highgui480 opencv_videoio480 opencv_imgproc480)
elseif(UNIX)
link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/linux)
set(OPENCV_LIBS opencv_core opencv_highgui opencv_videoio opencv_imgproc)
endif()
# Create the shared library
add_library(camera_lib SHARED camera_lib.cpp)
target_include_directories(camera_lib PUBLIC ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../include)
target_link_libraries(camera_lib ${OPENCV_LIBS})
if(MSVC)
target_compile_definitions(camera_lib PRIVATE CAMERA_LIB_EXPORTS)
endif()
```
4. Create the `CMakeLists.txt` file in the `example` directory:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(camera_example)
if(WIN32)
link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/windows ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../examples/10.x/sdk/platforms/win/lib)
file(GLOB DLL_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/windows/*.dll")
set(DBR_LIBS "DynamsoftCorex64" "DynamsoftLicensex64" "DynamsoftCaptureVisionRouterx64" "DynamsoftUtilityx64")
elseif(UNIX)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++11 -O3 -Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN")
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "$ORIGIN")
link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/linux ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../examples/10.x/sdk/platforms/linux)
set(DBR_LIBS "DynamsoftCore" "DynamsoftLicense" "DynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter" "DynamsoftUtility" pthread)
endif()
# Create the executable
add_executable(camera_example main.cpp)
target_include_directories(camera_example PUBLIC ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../include ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../examples/10.x/sdk/include)
target_link_libraries(camera_example camera_lib ${DBR_LIBS})
if(WIN32)
add_custom_command(TARGET camera_example POST_BUILD

endif()
add_custom_command(TARGET camera_example POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy

$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:camera_example>/CharacterModel)
```
Replace the `DBR_LIBS` variable with the actual library names of the Dynamsoft Barcode SDK v10.x for your platform.
## Step 3: Implementing the Camera Library and Barcode Scanner Application
In this step, we will develop a straightforward camera library to capture and display video frames from the webcam. Subsequently, we will create a barcode scanner application that leverages the camera library to stream video frames and decode barcodes in real-time using the Dynamsoft C++ Barcode SDK v10.x.
### C++ Camera Library
1. In the `src` directory, create the `camera_lib.h` header file:
```cpp
#ifndef CAMERA_LIB_H
#define CAMERA_LIB_H
#ifdef _WIN32
#ifdef CAMERA_LIB_EXPORTS
#define CAMERA_LIB_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define CAMERA_LIB_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#else
#define CAMERA_LIB_API
#endif
#include <cstdint>
enum PixelFormat
{
PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR,
PIXEL_FORMAT_GRAY
};
extern "C"
{
typedef struct
{
int width;
int height;
int stride;
PixelFormat pixel_format;
uint8_t *data;
} ImageData;
CAMERA_LIB_API int open_camera(int camera_index);
CAMERA_LIB_API void close_camera();
CAMERA_LIB_API ImageData get_frame();
CAMERA_LIB_API void release_frame(ImageData *image);
CAMERA_LIB_API void display_frame(const char *name, const ImageData *image);
CAMERA_LIB_API void draw_line(ImageData *image, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int thickness, int r, int g, int b);
CAMERA_LIB_API void draw_text(ImageData *image, const char *text, int x, int y, int font_scale, int thickness, int r, int g, int b);
CAMERA_LIB_API int wait_key(int delay);
}
#endif // CAMERA_LIB_H
```
This header file defines the `ImageData` struct to represent image data and declares functions for camera initialization, frame retrieval, frame display, and drawing operations.
2. Implement the camera library functions in the `camera_lib.cpp` file within the `src` directory:
```cpp
#include "camera_lib.h"
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
static cv::VideoCapture cap;
int open_camera(int camera_index)
{
cap.open(camera_index);
return cap.isOpened() ? 0 : -1;
}
void close_camera()
{
if (cap.isOpened())
{
cap.release();
}
}
ImageData get_frame()
{
ImageData image = {0, 0, 0, PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR, nullptr};
if (cap.isOpened())
{
cv::Mat frame;
cap >> frame;
if (!frame.empty())
{
image.width = frame.cols;
image.height = frame.rows;
image.stride = frame.step;
image.pixel_format = frame.channels() == 3 ? PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR : PIXEL_FORMAT_GRAY;
size_t data_size = frame.total() * frame.elemSize();
image.data = new uint8_t[data_size];
std::memcpy(image.data, frame.data, data_size);
}
}
return image;
}
void release_frame(ImageData *image)
{
if (image->data)
{
delete[] image->data;
image->data = nullptr;
}
}
void display_frame(const char *name, const ImageData *image)
{
if (image && image->data)
{
int type = image->pixel_format == PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR ? CV_8UC3 : CV_8UC1;
cv::Mat frame(image->height, image->width, type, image->data, image->stride);
cv::imshow(name, frame);
}
}
void draw_line(ImageData *image, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int thickness, int r, int g, int b)
{
if (image && image->data)
{
int type = image->pixel_format == PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR ? CV_8UC3 : CV_8UC1;
cv::Mat frame(image->height, image->width, type, image->data, image->stride);
cv::line(frame, cv::Point(x1, y1), cv::Point(x2, y2), cv::Scalar(b, g, r), thickness);
std::memcpy(image->data, frame.data, frame.total() * frame.elemSize());
}
}
void draw_text(ImageData *image, const char *text, int x, int y, int font_scale, int thickness, int r, int g, int b)
{
if (image && image->data)
{
int type = image->pixel_format == PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR ? CV_8UC3 : CV_8UC1;
cv::Mat frame(image->height, image->width, type, image->data, image->stride);
cv::putText(frame, text, cv::Point(x, y), cv::FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, font_scale, cv::Scalar(b, g, r), thickness);
std::memcpy(image->data, frame.data, frame.total() * frame.elemSize());
}
}
int wait_key(int delay)
{
return cv::waitKey(delay);
}
```
### Desktop Barcode Scanner Application
In the `example/main.cpp` file, follow these steps to complete the barcode scanner application:
1. Include the necessary headers and define a `BarcodeResult` struct to store barcode decoding results:
```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <mutex>
#include "camera_lib.h"
#include "DynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter.h"
#include "DynamsoftUtility.h"
using namespace dynamsoft::license;
using namespace dynamsoft::cvr;
using namespace dynamsoft::dbr;
using namespace dynamsoft::utility;
using namespace dynamsoft::basic_structures;
struct BarcodeResult
{
std::string type;
std::string value;
int x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4;
int frameId;
};
```
2. Set the license key for the Dynamsoft Barcode SDK in the `main` function:
```cpp
int main()
{
if (open_camera(0) == 0)
{
std::cout << "Camera opened successfully." << std::endl;
int iRet = -1;
char szErrorMsg[256];
iRet = CLicenseManager::InitLicense("LICENSE-KEY", szErrorMsg, 256);
if (iRet != EC_OK)
{
std::cout << szErrorMsg << std::endl;
}
...
}
return 0;
}
```
3. Instantiate `CCaptureVisionRouter` and `CImageSourceAdapter` objects for buffering and processing video frames from the camera:
```cpp
class MyVideoFetcher : public CImageSourceAdapter
{
public:
MyVideoFetcher(){};
~MyVideoFetcher(){};
bool HasNextImageToFetch() const override
{
return true;
}
void MyAddImageToBuffer(const CImageData *img, bool bClone = true)
{
AddImageToBuffer(img, bClone);
}
};
...
CCaptureVisionRouter *cvr = new CCaptureVisionRouter;
MyVideoFetcher *fetcher = new MyVideoFetcher();
fetcher->SetMaxImageCount(4);
fetcher->SetBufferOverflowProtectionMode(BOPM_UPDATE);
fetcher->SetColourChannelUsageType(CCUT_AUTO);
cvr->SetInput(fetcher);
...
```
4. Implement the `OnDecodedBarcodesReceived` callback function to receive barcode decoding results:
```cpp
class MyCapturedResultReceiver : public CCapturedResultReceiver
{
virtual void OnDecodedBarcodesReceived(CDecodedBarcodesResult *pResult) override
{
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(barcodeResultsMutex);
if (pResult->GetErrorCode() != EC_OK)
{
std::cout << "Error: " << pResult->GetErrorString() << std::endl;
}
else
{
auto tag = pResult->GetOriginalImageTag();
if (tag)
std::cout << "ImageID:" << tag->GetImageId() << std::endl;
int count = pResult->GetItemsCount();
std::cout << "Decoded " << count << " barcodes" << std::endl;
barcodeResults.clear();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
const CBarcodeResultItem *barcodeResultItem = pResult->GetItem(i);
if (barcodeResultItem != NULL)
{
std::cout << "Result " << i + 1 << std::endl;
std::cout << "Barcode Format: " << barcodeResultItem->GetFormatString() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Barcode Text: " << barcodeResultItem->GetText() << std::endl;
CPoint *points = barcodeResultItem->GetLocation().points;
BarcodeResult result;
result.type = barcodeResultItem->GetFormatString();
result.value = barcodeResultItem->GetText();
result.frameId = tag->GetImageId();
result.x1 = points[0][0];
result.y1 = points[0][1];
result.x2 = points[1][0];
result.y2 = points[1][1];
result.x3 = points[2][0];
result.y3 = points[2][1];
result.x4 = points[3][0];
result.y4 = points[3][1];
barcodeResults.push_back(result);
}
}
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
};
...
CCapturedResultReceiver *capturedReceiver = new MyCapturedResultReceiver;
cvr->AddResultReceiver(capturedReceiver);
errorCode = cvr->StartCapturing(CPresetTemplate::PT_READ_BARCODES, false, errorMsg, 512);
...
```
5. Create an infinite loop to continuously append video frames to the `fetcher` object, and then draw the available barcode results on the video frames:
```cpp
for (int i = 1;; ++i)
{
ImageData frame = get_frame();
if (frame.data)
{
CFileImageTag tag(nullptr, 0, 0);
tag.SetImageId(i);
CImageData data(frame.height * frame.stride,
frame.data,
frame.width,
frame.height,
frame.stride,
IPF_RGB_888,
0,
&tag);
fetcher->MyAddImageToBuffer(&data);
{
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(barcodeResultsMutex);
for (const auto &result : barcodeResults)
{
// Draw the bounding box
draw_line(&frame, result.x1, result.y1, result.x2, result.y2, 2, 0, 255, 0);
draw_line(&frame, result.x2, result.y2, result.x3, result.y3, 2, 0, 255, 0);
draw_line(&frame, result.x3, result.y3, result.x4, result.y4, 2, 0, 255, 0);
draw_line(&frame, result.x4, result.y4, result.x1, result.y1, 2, 0, 255, 0);
// Draw the barcode type and value
std::string text = result.type + ": " + result.value;
draw_text(&frame, text.c_str(), result.x1, result.y1 - 10, 1, 2, 0, 255, 0);
}
}
display_frame("1D/2D Barcode Scanner", &frame);
if (wait_key(30) >= 0)
{ // Add a delay and check for key press
release_frame(&frame);
break; // Exit the loop if any key is pressed
}
release_frame(&frame);
}
}
```
6. Build the project using CMake:
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
```

1,893,260 | Nasha Mukti Kendra in Punjab | Nasha Mukti Kendra in punjab Addiction is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide, and Punjab,... | 0 | 2024-06-19T07:39:54 | https://dev.to/nashamuktipunjab_98034121/nasha-mukti-kendra-in-punjab-1k0n | punjab | Nasha Mukti Kendra in punjab
Addiction is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide, and Punjab, India, has been particularly impacted by this crisis. Substance abuse not only destroys lives but also tears apart families and communities. Fortunately, there are centers dedicated to combating this scourge. Nasha Mukti Kendra, or de-addiction centers, are beacons of hope for individuals struggling with addiction in Punjab. These centers offer comprehensive treatment programs, professional support, and a path to a healthier, addiction-free life.
Understanding the Addiction Crisis in Punjab
Punjab has faced a severe drug problem for many years. The state's geographical location, bordering Pakistan, has made it a significant transit point for drug trafficking. The easy availability of substances such as heroin, opium, and synthetic drugs has led to widespread addiction. This crisis has been exacerbated by social and economic factors, including unemployment and a lack of awareness about the dangers of drug use.
The Role of Nasha Mukti Kendra
Nasha Mukti Kendra centers play a crucial role in addressing the addiction epidemic. They provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals can receive the necessary treatment and care. The primary aim of these centers is to help individuals detoxify their bodies, understand the root causes of their addiction, and develop coping strategies to maintain long-term sobriety.
[](url)
Comprehensive Treatment Programs
The treatment programs at Nasha Mukti Kendra are designed to address all aspects of addiction. These programs typically include:
Detoxification
The first step in any addiction treatment program is detoxification. This process involves removing the harmful substances from the individual's body. Detoxification can be challenging and often requires medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. Nasha Mukti Kendras has trained medical staff to ensure that detox is carried out in a safe and controlled manner.
Counseling and Therapy
Counseling and therapy are essential components of the treatment process. Nasha Mukti Kendras offers individual and group therapy sessions led by experienced counselors and therapists. These sessions help individuals explore the underlying issues that contribute to their addiction, such as trauma, stress, or mental health disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based therapies are commonly used to change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Rehabilitation Programs
Rehabilitation programs focus on helping individuals develop the skills and strategies needed to live a drug-free life. These programs often include vocational training, educational workshops, and life skills development. By equipping individuals with the tools they need to succeed, Nasha Mukti Kendras helps them reintegrate into society and reduce the risk of relapse.
Family Support
Addiction affects not only the individual but also their family and loved ones. Nasha Mukti Kendras provides family counseling and support programs to help families understand addiction and learn how to support their loved ones through the recovery process. Family involvement is crucial for long-term recovery and helps rebuild trust and relationships.
The Importance of Aftercare
Recovery from addiction is a lifelong journey, and aftercare plays a vital role in maintaining sobriety. Nasha Mukti Kendras offers aftercare programs that provide ongoing support and resources to individuals after they complete their initial treatment. These programs may include follow-up counseling, support groups, and relapse prevention strategies. Aftercare ensures that individuals have the support they need to navigate the challenges of maintaining a drug-free life.
The Impact These Centers Can Have
Many individuals have successfully overcome addiction with the help of Nasha Mukti Kendras in Punjab. These success stories serve as powerful reminders of the impact these centers can have. For instance, consider the story of Raj, a young man from Amritsar who struggled with heroin addiction for several years. After enrolling in a Nasha Mukti Kendra, Raj underwent detoxification, participated in therapy sessions, and completed a vocational training program. Today, he is drug-free, employed, and an advocate for addiction awareness in his community.
Challenges and Future Directions
While Nasha Mukti Kendras has made significant strides in addressing the addiction crisis in Punjab, challenges remain. The stigma around addiction and treatment often prevents individuals from seeking help. Additionally, there is a need for more government support and funding to expand the reach and capacity of these centers.
The future of addiction treatment in Punjab depends on continued efforts to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and increase access to quality care. Community involvement, government initiatives, and public-private partnerships will be crucial in this endeavor. By working together, we can create a supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to seek help and begin their journey to recovery.
Conclusion
Nasha Mukti Kendras in Punjab are playing an indispensable role in the fight against addiction. Their comprehensive treatment programs, professional support, and dedication to long-term recovery provide individuals with the tools they need to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. As we continue to address the addiction crisis, it is essential to support and expand these centers to ensure that everyone in need has access to the help they deserve. The journey to recovery is challenging, but with the right support and resources, it is possible to achieve lasting sobriety and a brighter future.

1,893,246 | Apache Flink :: E-commerce Data Pipeline Usecase | In today's data-driven world, real-time streaming is essential for businesses to gain instant... | 0 | 2024-06-19T07:35:15 | https://dev.to/snehasish_dutta_007/apache-flink-e-commerce-data-pipeline-usecase-3ha9 | dataengineering, streaming, scala, apacheflink | In today's data-driven world, real-time streaming is essential for businesses to gain instant insights and respond swiftly to market changes. Technologies like Apache Flink, Kafka, Postgres, Elasticsearch, and Kibana combine to create a powerful stack for processing, storing, searching, and visualizing streaming data in real time.
This article explores the integration of these technologies to build a robust real-time streaming architecture for an e-commerce business.
**GitHub** :: https://github.com/snepar/flink-ecom
## Introducing the Building Blocks
This concisely conveys the purpose of the following components.
**Apache Kafka ::** A distributed streaming platform that excels in handling real-time data feeds. It enables the seamless transmission of data across systems, ensuring high-throughput, low-latency, fault-tolerant communication.
**Apache Flink ::** A Powerful real-time stream engine (with APIs in Java/Scala/Python) for low-latency data analysis & transformations on massive data streams.
**PostgreSQL (Postgres)::** is an advanced open-source relational database known for its robustness, scalability, and SQL compliance. It supports complex queries, ACID transactions, and extensibility with custom functions and types.
**Elasticsearch ::** is a distributed, open-source search and analytics engine. It excels at full-text search, real-time data indexing, and querying. It's highly scalable and ideal for log and event data analysis.
**Kibana ::** is a powerful visualization tool for Elasticsearch. It provides real-time insights into data with interactive charts, graphs, and dashboards, making it easy to explore and analyze large datasets visually.
## Data Flow Diagram (Architecture)
## Goal
- **Data Ingestion:** using Kafka
- **Streaming Extract:** using Flink Source APIs
- **Transform and Aggregate:** using Flink SerDe and transformations
- **Load:** using Flink Sink APIs to Postgres and Elasticsearch
- **Visualise:** using Kibana
## Let Us Begin With the Infrastructure
- Install the following
1. Python 3 , pip
2. Scala 2.12 , sbt
3. Docker Desktop
4. Docker Compose
- Refer to this repository for the complete setup
https://github.com/snepar/flink-ecom-infra
- Execute command `docker compose up -d`
- Run the python file `main.py` to generate events to kafka
- Execute the kafka consumer from your docker service to verify if the events are flowing as expected
`kafka-console-consumer --topic financial_transactions --bootstrap-server broker:9092`
## Set Up Apache Flink
- I have used Flink 1.16.3
- Run Flink Locally using ->
https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/docs/try-flink/local_installation/
## The Flink Project Deep Dive
**build.sbt** manages all the dependencies for the project. To connect to Kafka, Postgres, and Elasticsearch.
https://github.com/snepar/flink-ecom/blob/master/build.sbt
**Flink Kafka Connector** uses `org.apache.flink.connector.kafka.source.KafkaSource`
Example Snippet::
```
KafkaSource.builder[Transaction]()
.setBootstrapServers("localhost:9092")
.setTopics(topic)
.setGroupId("ecom-group")
.setStartingOffsets(OffsetsInitializer.earliest())
.setValueOnlyDeserializer(new JSONValueDeserializationSchema())
.build()
```
**JSON Deserializer** is used to deserialze kafka payload to `Transaction`
Can be referred here :: https://github.com/snepar/flink-ecom/blob/master/src/main/scala/ecom/deserializer/JSONValueDeserializationSchema.scala
_Important Fact:_ as we are dealing with Scala Case Classes
use DefaultScalaModule
`import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.scala.DefaultScalaModule
mapper.registerModule(DefaultScalaModule)`
**see the data consumed from Kafka in Flink using** `transactionStream.print()`
**Flink-Postgres Sink**
- DDLs are Defined here : https://github.com/snepar/flink-ecom/tree/master/src/main/scala/ecom/generators/DDL
- Aggregation Examples (Monthly)
```
def writeToDBsalesPerMonth(transactionStream: DataStream[Transaction]) = {
transactionStream.addSink(JdbcSink.sink(
DDL.SalesPerMonthSQL.createTable,
new JdbcStatementBuilder[Transaction] {
override def accept(t: PreparedStatement, u: Transaction): Unit = {
}
},
execOptions,
connOptions
))
transactionStream.map(transaction =>
{
val transactionDate = new Date(transaction.transactionDate.getTime);
val year = transactionDate.toLocalDate().getYear();
val month = transactionDate.toLocalDate().getMonth().getValue();
SalesPerMonth(year, month, totalSales = transaction.totalAmount)
}
).keyBy(spm=>(spm.year,spm.month)).reduce((acc,curr) => acc.copy(totalSales = acc.totalSales + curr.totalSales))
.addSink(JdbcSink.sink(
DDL.SalesPerMonthSQL.insertStmt,
new JdbcStatementBuilder[SalesPerMonth] {
override def accept(preparedStatement: PreparedStatement, salesPerMonth: SalesPerMonth): Unit = {
preparedStatement.setInt(1, salesPerMonth.year)
preparedStatement.setInt(2, salesPerMonth.month)
preparedStatement.setDouble(3, salesPerMonth.totalSales)
}
},
execOptions,
connOptions
))
}
```
**Flink-Elastic Sink**
**Important :: While defining the emitter function, type description is required (it is not mentioned in the documentation examples somehow)**
```
def writeToElastic(transactionStream: DataStream[Transaction]) = {
val sink: ElasticsearchSink[Transaction] = new Elasticsearch7SinkBuilder[Transaction]
.setHosts(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"))
.setBulkFlushMaxActions(2)
.setBulkFlushInterval(10L)
.setEmitter[Transaction]{
(transaction, context, indexer) => {
val mapper = new ObjectMapper()
mapper.registerModule(DefaultScalaModule)
val json: String = mapper.writeValueAsString(transaction)
val indexRequest = Requests.indexRequest()
.index("transactions")
.id(transaction.transactionId)
.source(json, XContentType.JSON);
indexer.add(indexRequest)
}
}.build()
transactionStream.sinkTo(sink)
}
```
## Flink Job Execution
- `KafkaPGESIntegrationEcom.scala` : Can be directly run from the IDE
OR
- Install a flink cluster and deploy using `$flink run -c ecom.KafkaPGESIntegrationEcom flink-ecom_2.12-0.1.jar`
## A Glimpse into Postgres SQL
**transactions**
**sales_per_category**
**sales_per_day**
**sales_per_month**
## Data on Elasticsearch
**Indexing** here’s the structure of the transaction index on elasticsearch.
You can get this by running `GET transactions` in the DevTools.
You can query them by running `GET transactions/_search`
## Reindexing Data on Elasticsearch
To get a readable transaction date, we need to reindex into a different index. To reindex data on elasticsearch, we use the `_reindex` function.
```
POST _reindex
{
"source": {"index": "transactions"},
"dest": {"index": "transaction_part1"},
"script": {"source":"""
ctx._source.transactionDate = new
Date(ctx._source.transactionDate).toString();
"""}
}
GET reindex/_search
```
However, using toString() does not give us much room to wiggle around the format. So we need to use a more robust way to format the data.
```
POST _reindex
{
"source": {"index": "transactions"},
"dest": {"index": "transaction_part2"},
"script": {"source":
"""SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone('UTC'));
ctx._source.transactionDate = formatter.format (new
Date(ctx._source.transactionDate));"""
}
}
GET transaction_part2/_search
```
## Dashboard-ing in Realtime With Kibana
**Index on transaction_part2**
**Creating Donut Chart**
**Number Of Transactions**
**Top Brands**
**Final Dashboard**

This time, it supports some option data of the Deribit exchange. So we have better tools for option trading learning and strategy verification.
## Deribit options backtest
The Deribit option defined in the backtest system is European style, and the value of one contract is 1BTC. The option contract code is: BTC-7AUG20-12750-C.
Operations such as setting contracts and obtaining positions are the same as digital currency futures.
Set contract: exchange.SetContractType("BTC-7AUG20-12750-C")
Get position: var pos = exchange.GetPosition()
The price of an option contract is the premium of an option contract, and the option buyer needs to pay the option premium to the option seller. The buyer has the right to exercise, and the seller has the obligation to exercise. Before the option contract is exercised, it can be traded (such as liquidation, settlement of obligations).
## Examples of common option trading combinations
Sell a call option and buy a spot.
```
/*backtest

basePeriod: 15m
exchanges: [{"eid":"Futures_Deribit","currency":"BTC_USD"},{"eid":"OKEX","currency":"BTC_USDT","balance":100000}]
*/
function main() {
exchanges[0].SetContractType('BTC-7AUG20-12750-C');
var initSpotAcc = _C(exchanges[1].GetAccount)
var isFirst = true
while(true) {
var optionTicker = exchanges[0].GetTicker()
var spotTicker = exchanges[1].GetTicker()
if(isFirst) {
exchanges[0].SetDirection("sell")
exchanges[0].Sell(optionTicker.Buy, 1)
exchanges[1].Buy(spotTicker.Sell, 1)
isFirst = false
}
var optionPos = _C(exchanges[0].GetPosition)
var nowSpotAcc = _C(exchanges[1].GetAccount)
var diffStocks = (nowSpotAcc.Stocks - initSpotAcc.Stocks)
var diffBalance = (nowSpotAcc.Balance - initSpotAcc.Balance)
var spotProfit = diffBalance + diffStocks * spotTicker.Last
var optionProfit = optionPos[0].Profit * spotTicker.Last
LogProfit(spotProfit + optionProfit)
$.PlotLine("Spots", spotProfit)
$.PlotLine("Options", optionProfit)
Sleep(500)
}
}
```
Options can provide a certain degree of hedging protection to the assets purchased in spot. Generally used when optimistic about the spot and willing to hold the spot. The risk lies in the drop in spot prices. Although to a certain extent, options can make up for a certain spot loss, but after the loss exceeds the option premium, there will be a net loss.
In addition, the liquidity of the digital currency options market is average, and sometimes no counterparty is found. This is also an issue that needs to be considered.
Similarly, we can replace spot with futures, the code is as follows:
```
/*backtest
start: 2020-07-27 00:00:00
end: 2020-08-05 00:00:00
period: 1h
basePeriod: 15m
exchanges: [{"eid":"Futures_Deribit","currency":"BTC_USD"},{"eid":"Futures_OKCoin","currency":"BTC_USD"}]
*/
function main() {
exchanges[0].SetContractType('BTC-7AUG20-12750-C');
exchanges[1].SetContractType("quarter")
var isFirst = true
while(true) {
var optionTicker = exchanges[0].GetTicker()
var futuresTicker = exchanges[1].GetTicker()
if(isFirst) {
exchanges[0].SetDirection("sell")
exchanges[0].Sell(optionTicker.Buy, 1)
exchanges[1].SetDirection("buy")
exchanges[1].Buy(futuresTicker.Sell, _N(1 * futuresTicker.Sell / 100, 0))
isFirst = false
}
var optionPos = _C(exchanges[0].GetPosition)
var futuresPos = _C(exchanges[1].GetPosition)
var futuresProfit = futuresPos[0].Profit
var optionProfit = optionPos[0].Profit
LogProfit(futuresProfit + optionProfit)
$.PlotLine("Futures", futuresProfit)
$.PlotLine("Options", optionProfit)
Sleep(500)
}
}
```
Futures can reduce the capital occupied than spot, but the risk is higher than that of spot.
In addition, there are many other options trading combinations:
- Bull call option spread bull call spread
- Bear Put option Spread Bear Put Spread
Those who are interested can study it in the backtest system.

In the realms of computer science and software engineering, certain concepts and principles play crucial roles in ensuring systems' robustness, reliability, and predictability. One such concept is idempotency, a term that, while seemingly esoteric, has profound implications in various areas, including web services, databases, and functional programming. This article delves into the definition, importance, and practical applications of idempotency, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its role in modern computing.
What is Idempotency?
Idempotency is a property of certain operations that denotes their ability to be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. Formally, an operation fff is [idempotent](https://keploy.io/docs/concepts/reference/glossary/idempotency/) if, for all inputs xxx, applying fff to xxx multiple times yields the same result as applying fff once. Mathematically, this is represented as:
f(f(x))=f(x)f(f(x)) = f(x)f(f(x))=f(x)
This definition implies that no matter how many times the operation is executed, the outcome remains constant after the first application.
The Importance of Idempotency
The significance of idempotency in computing can be appreciated across various dimensions:
1. Reliability: Idempotent operations ensure that systems can handle retries gracefully. In distributed systems, where network failures and partial system failures are common, retrying operations without fearing unintended consequences is crucial.
2. Safety: In web services, making HTTP requests idempotent means that if a client sends the same request multiple times, the server's state remains unchanged after the first request. This is particularly important for operations like payment processing or resource creation.
3. Consistency: Idempotency helps maintain data consistency. For instance, in database operations, an idempotent transaction can be retried multiple times in the event of a failure, ensuring that the database remains in a consistent state.
4. Simplicity: Idempotent operations simplify error handling logic. Since the result of applying an operation multiple times does not change, developers can avoid complex checks and conditions in their code.
Idempotency in Web Services
Idempotency is a critical concept in the design of RESTful web services. The HTTP specification defines certain methods as idempotent:
• GET: This method is inherently idempotent, as it is used to retrieve resources without modifying them.
• PUT: Used to update or create resources, PUT requests are idempotent because applying the same update multiple times does not change the resource state beyond the initial application.
• DELETE: While logically idempotent (deleting a resource that is already deleted does not change the state), it can have side effects such as triggering notifications.
• HEAD and OPTIONS: These methods are also idempotent as they are used for metadata retrieval and preflight requests, respectively.
Implementing Idempotency
The implementation of idempotency depends on the context and specific requirements of the operation. Here are some common strategies:
1. Idempotency Keys: For operations like resource creation or transaction processing, clients can generate unique idempotency keys. The server stores these keys and the results of the operations. Subsequent requests with the same key return the stored result without re-executing the operation.
2. Resource Versioning: In update operations, using versioning can ensure idempotency. Clients include the resource version in their requests, and the server only applies changes if the version matches the current state.
3. Conditional Requests: HTTP provides mechanisms like If-Match and If-None-Match headers to make requests conditional. This can help ensure that operations are applied only when certain conditions are met, thus maintaining idempotency.
4. State Checks: Before performing an operation, the system can check the current state to determine if the operation has already been applied. This is common in systems where the state can be queried efficiently.
Idempotency in Functional Programming
In functional programming, idempotency is often associated with pure functions. A pure function, by definition, does not produce side effects and always returns the same result given the same input. While not all pure functions are idempotent, idempotency is a valuable property in the context of functional programming because it ensures predictability and reliability.
For example, consider a function that sanitizes input strings by removing whitespace:
haskell
Copy code
sanitize :: String -> String
sanitize = trim . replaceMultipleSpaces
-- Assuming 'trim' and 'replaceMultipleSpaces' are both idempotent functions
If both trim and replaceMultipleSpaces are idempotent, then sanitize is also idempotent. Applying sanitize multiple times to the same input string yields the same result as applying it once.
Challenges and Considerations
While idempotency offers numerous benefits, implementing it can be challenging. Some operations are inherently non-idempotent, such as generating unique identifiers or processing user input that changes with each request. In such cases, ensuring idempotency requires careful design and often involves trade-offs.
Moreover, idempotency can have performance implications. For example, maintaining idempotency keys or resource versions might require additional storage and processing overhead. Balancing these costs with the benefits of idempotency is a critical consideration in system design.
Conclusion
Idempotency is a fundamental concept that enhances the reliability, safety, and simplicity of computing systems. By ensuring that operations can be repeated without unintended consequences, idempotency plays a crucial role in the robustness of web services, the consistency of databases, and the predictability of functional programming. Understanding and implementing idempotency effectively can significantly improve system design and operation, making it an indispensable tool in the arsenal of software engineers and computer scientists.

1,893,252 | How add users in Microk8s ? | MicroK8s is a minimal, low-operations Kubernetes designed for production environments. As an... | 0 | 2024-06-19T07:24:22 | https://dev.to/rohin21/how-add-users-in-microk8s--5fg7 | kubernetes, microk8s, ubuntu, devops | MicroK8s is a minimal, low-operations Kubernetes designed for production environments. As an open-source platform, it automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It includes core Kubernetes components with a small footprint and can scale from a single node to a high-availability production cluster. Essentially, MicroK8s offers production-grade support for all key Kubernetes features, including advanced networking and storage configurations.
In this post, we will create a user for microk8s cluster apart from it's default admin user, create a kubeconfig file for the user and use it in kubectl to access the cluster. This is important for a devops engineer to create separate user with appropriate RBAC to insure that a user can access only the required resources in the cluster.
Make sure you have microk8s running in your system, if not you can install it by running the following command.
`sudo snap install microk8s --classic`
Now we will create user credentials, microk8s uses kubeconfig files to manage user credentials.
We will use "openssl" to generate certificate and key for the new user. Replace "username" with the desired username.
```
openssl genrsa -out username.key 2048
openssl req -new -key username.key -out username.csr -subj "/CN=username/O=group"
openssl x509 -req -in username.csr -CA /var/snap/microk8s/current/certs/ca.crt -CAkey /var/snap/microk8s/current/certs/ca.key -CAcreateserial -out username.crt -days 365
```
After this, we are now going to create the kubeconfig file for the new user.
Replace the username, cluster-name and cluster-server with appropriate values.
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
clusters:
- cluster:
certificate-authority: /var/snap/microk8s/current/certs/ca.crt
server: https://<cluster-server>:16443
name: <cluster-name>
contexts:
- context:
cluster: <cluster-name>
user: username
name: username-context
current-context: username-context
users:
- name: username
user:
client-certificate: /path/to/username.crt
client-key: /path/to/username.key
```
Create a role and role binding for the new user in Kubernetes. For example, you can create a role that grants read-only access to all resources in a namespace.
```
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
namespace: default
name: read-only
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods", "services", "deployments"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
```
Then, create a role binding to bind the role to the new user
```
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: read-only-binding
namespace: default
subjects:
- kind: User
name: username
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: read-only
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
```
You can also create a cluster role and cluster role binding to provide the user cluster wide access.
Apply the above RBAC configuration using kubectl
```
microk8s kubectl apply -f role.yaml
microk8s kubectl apply -f rolebinding.yaml
```
Provide the generated kubeconfig file to the new user. The user can then use this file to access the Kubernetes cluster with the permissions defined by the RBAC configuration. | rohin21 |

1,893,219 | Why we add CSS and three ways to insert CSS | How To Add CSS When a browser reads a style sheet, it will format the HTML document ... | 0 | 2024-06-19T06:55:56 | https://dev.to/wasifali/how-we-add-css-3h54 | webdev, css, learning, html | ## **How To Add CSS**
When a browser reads a style sheet, it will format the HTML document
## **Three Ways to Insert CSS**
There are three ways of inserting a style sheet:
External CSS
Internal CSS
Inline CSS
## **External CSS**
With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire website by changing just one file.
## **Example**
External styles are defined within the `<link>` element, inside the `<head>` section of an HTML page:
```CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
```
## **Internal CSS**
An internal style sheet may be used if one single HTML page has a unique style.
## **Example**
Internal styles are defined within the `<style>` element, inside the `<head>` section of an HTML page:
```CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: linen;
}
h1 {
color: maroon;
margin-left: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
```
## **Inline CSS**
An inline style may be used to apply a unique style for a single element.
## **Example**
Inline styles are defined within the "style" attribute of the relevant element:
```CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:blue;text-align:center;">This is a heading</h1>
<p style="color:red;">This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
```
## **Cascading Order**
All the styles in a page will "cascade" into a new "virtual" style sheet by the following rules, where number one has the highest priority,
Inline style (inside an HTML element)
External and internal style sheets (in the head section)
Browser default
## **Multiple Style Sheets**
If some properties have been defined for the same selector (element) in different style sheets, the value from the last read style sheet will be used.
## **Example**
Assume that an **external style sheet** has the following style for the `<h1>` element:
```CSS
h1 {
color: navy;
}
```
Then, assume that an **internal style sheet** also has the following style for the `<h1>` element:
```CSS
h1 {
color: orange;
}
```

1,893,237 | Union of Two Sorted Arrays | Finding the union of two sorted arrays involves combining the elements of both arrays without... | 27,580 | 2024-06-19T07:10:52 | https://blog.masum.dev/union-of-two-sorted-arrays | algorithms, computerscience, cpp, tutorial | Finding the union of two sorted arrays involves combining the elements of both arrays without duplicates. This problem can be solved using different approaches, each with its own time and space complexity. In this article, we'll discuss two approaches to achieve this union.
### Solution 1: Brute Force Approach (using Set)
This method involves using a set to store the unique elements from both arrays, ensuring that duplicates are removed.
**Implementation**:
```cpp
// Solution-1: Brute Force Approach (Using Set)
// Time Complexity: O((m+n)log(m+n))
// Space Complexity: O(m+n)
// {If Space of temp Array is considered}
// Space Complexity: O(1)
// {If Space of temp Array is Not considered}
vector<int> unionOfSortedArrays1(vector<int> &arr1, int n, vector<int> &arr2, int m)
{
set<int> uniqueElements;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
uniqueElements.insert(arr1[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i < m; i++)
{
uniqueElements.insert(arr2[i]);
}
vector<int> temp;
for (auto it : uniqueElements)
{
temp.push_back(it);
}
return temp;
}
```
**Logic**:
1. **Insert Elements into Set**: Insert all elements of both arrays into a set to remove duplicates.
2. **Copy to Vector**: Copy elements from the set back to a temporary vector.
**Time Complexity**: O((m+n) log(m+n))
* **Explanation**: Inserting each element from `arr1` and `arr2` into the set `uniqueElements` takes O(log k) time, where k is the number of elements in the set. As we insert a total of m + n elements, this results in O((m+n) log(m+n)) time complexity. After inserting all elements, copying the set elements back to a vector takes O(m+n) time.
**Space Complexity**: O(m+n)
* **Explanation**: The set `uniqueElements` can contain up to **m + n** elements in the worst case where there are no duplicates. Additionally, the temporary vector `temp` also stores up to m + n elements. If we consider the space required for the set and the temporary vector, the space complexity is O(m+n).
***If we do not consider*** the temporary vector, the space complexity is **O(1)** as we are only using the set for extra storage.
**Example**:
* **Input**: `arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]`, `n = 10`, `arr2 = [2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 11, 12]`, `m = 7`
* **Output**: `union = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]`
* **Explanation**: Elements from both arrays are combined without duplicates.
---
### Solution 2: Optimal Approach (Two-Pointers Technique)
This method uses two pointers to efficiently merge the arrays while avoiding duplicates.
**Implementation**:
```cpp
// Solution-2: Optimal Approach (Using 2 Pointers)
// Time Complexity: O(m+n)
// Space Complexity: O(m+n)
// {If Space of temp Array is considered}
// Space Complexity: O(1)
// {If Space of temp Array is Not considered}
vector<int> unionOfSortedArrays2(vector<int> &arr1, int n, vector<int> &arr2, int m)
{
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
vector<int> temp;
while (i < n && j < m)
{
if (arr1[i] <= arr2[j])
{
if (temp.size() == 0 || arr1[i] != temp.back()) // Avoid duplicates
{
temp.push_back(arr1[i]);
}
i++;
}
else
{
if (temp.size() == 0 || arr2[j] != temp.back()) // Avoid duplicates
{
temp.push_back(arr2[j]);
}
j++;
}
}
// Handle remaining elements in 'arr1' (if any)
while (i < n)
{
if (arr1[i] != temp.back())
{
temp.push_back(arr1[i]);
}
i++;
}
// Handle remaining elements in 'arr2' (if any)
while (j < m)
{
if (arr2[j] != temp.back())
{
temp.push_back(arr2[j]);
}
j++;
}
return temp;
}
```
**Logic**:
1. **Initialize Pointers**: Use two pointers, one for each array.
2. **Compare Elements**: Compare elements at both pointers and add the smaller one to the result if it's not a duplicate.
3. **Advance Pointers**: Move the pointer forward for the array from which the element was taken.
4. **Handle Remaining Elements**: Add any remaining elements from either array.
**Time Complexity**: O(m+n)
* **Explanation**: In the worst case, each element in both arrays is processed exactly once, resulting in O(m+n) time complexity.
**Space Complexity**: O(m+n)
* **Explanation**: The temporary vector `temp` stores the union of elements from both arrays. In the worst case where there are no duplicates, `temp` will contain **m + n** elements. Therefore, the space complexity is O(m+n) considering the temporary vector.
***If we do not consider*** the space for the temporary vector, the space complexity is **O(1)** as we are only using a constant amount of extra space for variables `i` and `j`.
**Example**:
* **Input**: `arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]`, `n = 10`, `arr2 = [2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 11, 12]`, `m = 7`
* **Output**: `union = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]`
* **Explanation**: Elements from both arrays are merged without duplicates.
---
### Comparison
* **Brute Force Method (Using Set)**:
* **Pros**: Simple and straightforward.
* **Cons**: Less efficient for large arrays due to O((m+n) log(m+n)) time complexity.
* **Optimal Method (Using Two Pointers)**:
* **Pros**: Efficient with O(m+n) time complexity.
* **Cons**: Slightly more complex to implement but highly efficient for large arrays.
### Edge Cases
* **Empty Arrays**: Returns an empty array.
* **No Common Elements**: Returns all elements from both arrays.
* **All Elements Common**: Returns the common elements without duplicates.
### Additional Notes
* **Efficiency**: The two-pointers method is more time-efficient.
* **Practicality**: The choice between methods depends on the specific constraints and requirements of the problem.
### Conclusion
Finding the union of two sorted arrays can be efficiently achieved using either a set or a two-pointers technique. The optimal choice depends on the specific constraints and requirements of the problem.

1,893,236 | Securing Centralized Crypto Exchanges | 1. Introduction The realm of cryptocurrency has expanded exponentially over the past... | 27,673 | 2024-06-19T07:09:16 | https://dev.to/rapidinnovation/securing-centralized-crypto-exchanges-omg | ## 1\. Introduction
The realm of cryptocurrency has expanded exponentially over the past decade,
introducing a new paradigm of financial transactions and investment
opportunities. As digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others have
grown in popularity and market capitalization, the platforms that facilitate
their exchange have become critically important. These platforms, known as
cryptocurrency exchanges, are the bridges that connect buyers and sellers,
enabling the trading and holding of cryptocurrencies.
## 2\. What is Centralized Crypto Exchange Development?
Centralized Crypto Exchange Development refers to the process of creating a
platform where users can buy, sell, or trade cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin,
Ethereum, and many others. These platforms act as intermediaries managed by a
company that maintains full control over all transactions. Users of
centralized exchanges do not have direct control over their wallet keys, which
means they must trust the exchange to manage their funds securely and
efficiently.
## 3\. How to Secure Centralized Crypto Exchanges
### 3.1 Implementing Robust Security Protocols
To safeguard assets and user data, centralized crypto exchanges must implement
robust security protocols. These protocols serve as the foundation for
defending against a wide array of cyber threats, including phishing attacks,
hacking attempts, and insider threats. By establishing a secure infrastructure
and continuously updating security measures, exchanges can significantly
mitigate risks.
### 3.2 Regular Security Audits
Regular security audits are critical for identifying vulnerabilities in an
organization's information systems and networks. These audits involve a
systematic evaluation of the security of a company's information system by
measuring how well it conforms to a set of established criteria.
### 3.3 Advanced User Verification Processes
Advanced user verification processes are essential for enhancing the security
and integrity of user interactions within digital environments. These
processes go beyond traditional username and password credentials to include
methods such as two-factor authentication (2FA), biometric verification, and
behavioral analytics.
## 4\. Types of Security Threats to Centralized Exchanges
Centralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency market are prime targets for a
variety of security threats. These platforms, which act as third-party
intermediaries in facilitating the buying and selling of digital assets,
possess significant amounts of liquid assets making them attractive to
cybercriminals.
## 5\. Benefits of Securing Centralized Exchanges
Securing centralized exchanges offers numerous benefits, not only to the
exchange operators but also to their users. Firstly, robust security measures
enhance the reliability of the exchange, ensuring that it can resist attacks
and function smoothly under various conditions. This reliability attracts more
users and boosts the exchange’s reputation, which is crucial in a competitive
market.
## 6\. Challenges in Securing Centralized Exchanges
Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges are pivotal in the digital asset
ecosystem, facilitating the trading of billions of dollars daily. However,
their centralized nature makes them prime targets for a variety of security
threats. These platforms face significant challenges in maintaining robust
security measures to protect user assets and ensure continuous, trustworthy
service.
## 7\. Future Trends in Crypto Exchange Security
The inherent properties of blockchain technology, such as decentralization,
immutability, and transparency, are being leveraged to enhance the security
frameworks of cryptocurrency exchanges. By adopting blockchain, exchanges can
significantly mitigate risks associated with fraud, cyber-attacks, and
operational errors.
## 8\. Real-World Examples
One notable example of a secured centralized exchange is Coinbase, which has
established itself as a leader in the realm of cryptocurrency exchanges by
prioritizing security and user trust. Coinbase employs a variety of security
measures to protect user assets and data.
## 9\. In-depth Explanations
Blockchain technology offers a robust solution to secure transaction data
through its decentralized and immutable ledger system. By design, blockchain
creates a chain of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using
cryptography.
## 10\. Why Choose Rapid Innovation for Implementation and Development
Choosing rapid innovation for implementation and development is crucial in
today’s fast-paced technological landscape. Rapid innovation refers to the
ability to quickly develop, test, and refine applications and systems to meet
the evolving needs of businesses and consumers.
## 11\. Conclusion
Throughout the discussion on security practices, several key points have been
highlighted that underscore the importance of robust security measures in
today's digital landscape. First and foremost, the evolving nature of cyber
threats necessitates that organizations and individuals remain vigilant and
proactive in their security strategies.
