1,892,281 | Threads-API ist da | Ich zeige dir wie du die API von Threads nutzt um Posts automatisiert zu generieren 🎉 Seit heute... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:19:02 | https://blog.disane.dev/threads-api-ist-da/ | graphapi, threads, automatisiert | Ich zeige dir wie du die API von Threads nutzt um Posts automatisiert zu generieren 🎉
---
Seit heute steht die API von Threads bereit und ich zeige dir, wie du sie verwenden kannst um Inhalte automatisiert dort bereitzustellen.
## Voraussetzungen
Du musst auf jeden Fall einen Entwickler-Konto bei Meta haben. Das kannst du dir ganz einfach hier anlegen:
[Meta for DevelopersMit Facebook for Developers kannst du Code entwickeln, der Menschen verbindet. Entdecke künstliche Intelligenz, Business-Tools, Gaming, Open Source, Publishing, soziale Hardware, soziale Integration und virtuelle Realität. Erfahre mehr über Facebooks globale Programme zur Schulung und Vernetzung von Entwickler\*innen.](https://developers.facebook.com/)
Zusätzlich dazu, muss dein Account zwingend als Business-Account verifiziert sein. Das musst du im Vorfeld machen, da du sonst keinen Zugriff hast. Bei mir hat ausgereicht entsprechende Dokumente vorzulegen und wurde dann zwar nach 1-2 Tagen abgelehnt, aber ein Widerspruch hat dann später dazu geführt, dass ich verifiziert wurde und nun Business-Apps anlegen kann.
### Business-App ist Pflicht ☝🏼
Die API richtet sich an geschäftliche Kunden, damit die Workflows geöffnet werden und so auch ein Crossposten von Inhalten ermöglicht wird. Darum musst du zwingend eine Business-App anlegen. Das kannst du recht einfach im App-Dashboard machen. Es muss auch eine neue App sein, da alte Apps Threads nicht integriert haben. In den Funktionen der neuen App wählst du "Access the Threads API" aus:
Du gibst dann einen App-Namen an und deine Mailadresse. Das musst du dann einmal mit deinem Meta-Kennwort bestätigen und ab geht es.
### Berechtigungen setzen 🔏
Du musst dann deiner App entsprechende Berechtigungen setzen. Wenn du nur Posten willst, dann wird für dich vermutlich `threads_basic`und `threads_content_publish`ausreichen:
Weitere Rechte kannst du aber später noch hinzufügen. Du kannst so auch zum Beispiel Replies prüfen, automatisch Bereinigen oder noch vieles anderes. Diese werden später als `SCOPES`noch weiter benötigt.
### OAuth konfigurieren 🤝
Damit du (oder eventuell auch andere Leute) deine App nutzen können, musst du URLs konfigurieren, die von OAuth genutzt werden. OAuth ist ein Autorisierungsprozess, der komplett passwortlos arbeitet und so die Benutzer am System der Ressource autorisiert.
Sofern du keine eigene Website hast, kannst du hier Postman nutzen. Postman vereinfacht die Nutzung von APIs ungemein und kann auch den kompletten OAuth-Flow für dich übernehmen. Bei der `Redirect Callback URLs`kannst du, wenn du Postman schon hast, diese URL eintragen: <https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback>. Alternativ jede andere URL, die die Autorisierungs-Codes von OAuth in Empfang nehmen kann.
### Tester hinzufügen 🤵🏼
Möchtest du nur bestimmte Leute einladen, kannst du auch bestimmte Tester hinzufügen. Das brauchst du in dem Falle aber nicht, da wir über OAuth die Rechte direkt anfragen und Threads mit deiner neuen App verknüpfen.
Für richtige App ist das durchaus sinnvoll, dass man hier bestimmte Leute auswählt, die einen-Testzugang zu deiner App haben.
### App-Einstellungen merken 💡
Damit du nun die API-Calls gegen die Threads-API machen kannst, brauchst du noch die `CLIENT_ID`und das `CLIENT_SECRET`. Vor allem auf das Secret musst du sehr gut aufpassen, da damit Zugriffe auf deine App möglich sind. Sei vorsichtig damit, wo du es eingibst und gebe es idealerweise an niemanden weiter. Beide Werte kannst du unter `App settings`und dann `Basic` einsehen:
## Wir autorisieren uns
### Autorisierungscode abfragen ❓
Da wir nun soweit alle Voraussetzungen getroffen haben, können wir nun die ersten Anfragen an die Threads API erstellen. Damit wir überhaupt erst einmal Zugriff auf die Ressourcen haben, müssen wir einen Autorisierungscode beantragen. Das passiert über eine URL, die wir im Browser eingeben müssen oder dem Benutzer öffnen. Diese URL sieht wie folgt aus:
```bash
https://threads.net/oauth/authorize?
client_id=[CLIENT ID]&
redirect_uri=[REDIRECT URL]
&scope=[VERGEBENE SCOPES]
&response_type=code
```
Hast du die Abfrage im Browser aufgerufen, erscheint eine Seite, die dich auf eine Verknüpfungsanfrage hinweist und dich dies nochmal prüfen und akzeptieren lässt:
Wenn du fortfährst, dann wird der Autorisierungscode an die `REDIRECT URL` (die du in OAuth der App konfiguriert hast) übergeben. Eine Rückgabe würde wie folgt aussehen:
```json
{
"code": "Dein Autorisierungscode"
}
```
Mit diesem Code kannst du dann einen Access-Token beantragen.
### Kurzlebigen Access-Token beantragen 🔑
Damit du nun Zugriff auf die Ressourcen hast, musst Autorisierungscode in einen Access-Token umwandeln lassen. Hier gibt es zwei Arten von Tokens:
* Kurzlebigen Access Tokens
* Langlebige Access Tokens
Beide haben ihre Vor- und Nachteile. Da du vermutlich einen längeren Zugriff haben möchtest als nur wenige Stunden, holen wir uns einen langlebigen Access Token. Dafür brauchen wir aber erst einen kurzlebigen, den wir dann zu einem langlebigen umwandeln.
Um einen kurzlebigen Access Token zu bekommen, musst du den Autorisierungscode an die API senden:
```bash
curl -X POST \
https://graph.threads.net/oauth/access_token \
-F client_id=[CLIENT ID] \
-F client_secret=[CLIENT SECRET] \
-F grant_type=authorization_code \
-F redirect_uri=[REDIRECT URL] \
-F code=[AUTH CODE]
```
Wenn alles geklappt hat, solltest du eine solche Rückgabe erhalten:
```json
{
"access_token": "THQVJ...",
"user_id": xyz
}
```
Beides solltest du dir nun zusätzlich auch noch speichern. Den Access Token brauchst du bei jeder Anfrage an die API, ebenso die `user_id`.
### Langlebigen Access Token erzeugen 🧬
Da wir nun aber die API mehr als nur ein paar Stunden nutzen möchten, musst du den kurzlebigen Access Token in einen langlebigen umwandeln. Das geht recht einfach mit dem nachfolgenden API-Call:
```bash
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.threads.net/access_token
?grant_type=th_exchange_token
&client_secret=[CLIENT SECRET]
&access_token=[SHORT_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN]"
```
Wenn alles geklappt hat, solltest du folgende Rückgabe erhalten:
```json
{
"access_token": "<LONG_LIVED_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 5183944 // number of seconds until token expires
}
```
Den `access_token`kannst du dir dann anstelle des kurzlebigen merken und weiter verwenden.
### Access Token erneuern ♻️
Beide Tokens laufen irgendwann einmal aus, der eine früher und der andere später. Darum gibt es auch die Möglichkeit Access Tokens zu erneuern, bevor sie abgelaufen sind.
Hierfür kannst du ganz einfach einen langlebigen Access Token nehmen und ihn an die API senden, dass sie dir einen neuen ausstellen soll:
```bash
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.threads.net/refresh_access_token
?grant_type=th_refresh_token
&access_token=[LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN]"
```
Hat auch das geklappt, kannst du auf diese Rückgabe hoffen:
```json
{
"access_token": "<LONG_LIVED_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 5183944 // number of seconds until token expires
}
```
Und damit hättest du auch schon einen neuen gültigen Access Token erzeugt.
## Posten von Inhalten 📷
Jetzt wird es langsam spannend. Du kannst dich nun authentifizieren und autorisieren. Fehlt eigentlich nur noch das Posten von Inhalten. Threads bietet eine Vielzahl an Inhalten an, die gepostet werden können. Welche möglich sind, kannst du in der API-Dokumentation nachlesen.
[Posts - Threads API - Dokumentation - Meta for DevelopersPublish a single image, video, text, or carousel post on Threads.](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/posts)
Möchten wir nur einen einfachen Text oder ein Bild senden, können wir das recht elegant mit diesem API-Call machen. Hierfür brauchst du deine `THREADS_USER_ID`die du oben beim Generieren eines Access Tokens bekommen und hoffentlich gespeichert hast:
```bash
curl -i -X POST \
"https://graph.threads.net/v1.0/<THREADS_USER_ID>/threads?media_type=IMAGE&image_url=https://www.example.com/images/bronz-fonz.jpg&text=#BronzFonz&access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```
In diesem Falle laden wir ein Bild von einer öffentlichen URL bei Threads hoch und fügen noch den Text `#BronzFronz`hinzu. Du musst aber nicht nur Bilder hochladen, sondern kannst auch nur Texte mit URLs oder ähnliche Sachen hochladen.
```json
{
"id": "1234567" // Threads Media Container ID
}
```
Damit hast du aber nur einen Media-Container angelegt. Zu dem Zeitpunkt ist noch nichts hochgeladen worden! Das musst du separat mit einem eigenen API-Call machen. Hierfür brauchst du die `id`aus der vorherigen Rückgabe:
```bash
curl -i -X POST \
"https://graph.threads.net/v1.0/<THREADS_USER_ID>/threads_publish?creation_id=<MEDIA_CONTAINER_ID>&access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```
Hat das geklappt, solltest du eine solche Rückgabe bekommen:
```json
{
"id": "1234567" // Threads Media ID
}
```
Und du solltest deinen neuen Post nun auf Threads sehen! Gratulation 🎉
Die API kann aber nicht nur Posten. Du kannst damit auch komplett andere Dinge tun und dir Daten aus Threads für Analysezwecke ziehen. Aber schau einfach mal in die API-Doku hinein, da findest du sicher noch sehr schöne Anwendungsfälle.
## Fazit 📃
Du hast nun gelernt wie man die Threads API nutzt und kannst nun automatisiert Dinge dort hochladen. Wie einfach das geht, habe ich dir jetzt gezeigt. Es ist auf jeden Fall für Creator oder Geschäfte/Unternehmen sehr reizvoll, darauf Workflows auszurichten und z.B. Cross-Posts bei Threads zu realisieren.
Diesen Post wirst du vermutlich nun auch bei Threads gesehen haben, der wurde auch automatisch über die API hochgeladen 😉

1,892,278 | A single state for Loading/Success/Error in NgRx | When handling HTTP requests in Angular applications, developers often need to manage multiple view... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:15:23 | https://dev.to/yurii_khomitskyi/a-single-state-for-loadingsuccesserror-in-ngrx-21df | angular, ngrx, state, webdev | When handling HTTP requests in Angular applications, developers often need to manage multiple view states, such as loading, success, and error. Typically, these states are manually managed and stored in the NGRX Store, leading to boilerplate code if there are multiple features.
Here’s an example of how developers usually approach this situation:
```
interface TodosState {
todos: Todo[];
error: string | null;
isLoading: boolean;
isLoaded: boolean;
}
const initialState: TodosState = {
todos: [],
error: null,
isLoading: false,
isLoaded: false,
};
export const todosReducer = createReducer(
initialState,
on(TodosActions.loadTodos, state => ({
...state,
isLoading: true,
error: null
})),
on(TodosActions.loadTodosSuccess, (state, { todos }) => ({
...state,
todos,
isLoading: false,
isLoaded: true
})),
on(TodosActions.loadTodosFailure, (state, { error }) => ({
...state,
error,
isLoading: false,
isLoaded: false
}))
);
// todos.selectors.ts
export const selectTodosState = (state: AppState) => state.todos;
export const selectTodos = createSelector(selectTodosState, state => state.todos);
export const selectTodosLoading = createSelector(selectTodosState, state => state.isLoading);
export const selectTodosError = createSelector(selectTodosState, state => state.error);
```
In this approach, you have to create separate selectors and handle the loading, error, and success states manually. This scenario would likely repeat itself in some other reducer and we would end up repeating code
There are many ways of handling the “view states” but I found one that is convenient and makes use of NgRx actions and does not require a lot of boilerplate.
So what do we need to do?
1. Define the “view states” (**loading**, **success**, **error**, etc)
2. Define a single store where we will hold a “view state” for a particular action
3. Define logic that will tell that action is the “view state” action to filter it among others and set a “view state” for it
4. Select the “view state” from the store to display loading/success/error templates
If we want to load todos we would typically create 3 actions:
```
export const loadTodos = createAction('[Todo] Load Todos');
export const loadTodosSuccess = createAction('[Todo] Load Todos Success', props<{ todos: Todo[] }>());
export const loadTodosFailure = createAction('[Todo] Load Todos Failure', props<{ error: string }>());
```
The “**loadTodo**” action is a trigger action so we could use it as a “unique id” or an action that defines the “view state” for “Todos”.
The “**loadTodosSuccess**” could be used to say that the “view state” for “loadTodo” is loaded.
The “**loadTodosFailure**” could be used to say that the “view state” for “loadTodo” is an error.
> Since the NgRx action holds the static “type” property we could use it as a unique id
```
export const loadTodos = createAction('[Todo] Load Todos');
console.log(loadTodos.type)
```
## Define the “view states” (loading, success, error)
Let’s create the “**ViewStatus**” union type to list all possible view states. We'll use "**ViewStatus**" instead of "**ViewState**" to name the NgRx feature store state
```
export enum ViewStatusEnum {
IDLE = 'idle',
LOADING = 'loading',
LOADED = 'loaded',
ERROR = 'error',
}
export interface ViewIdle {
readonly type: ViewStatusEnum.IDLE;
}
export interface ViewLoading {
readonly type: ViewStatusEnum.LOADING;
}
export interface ViewLoaded {
readonly type: ViewStatusEnum.LOADED;
}
export interface ViewError<E = unknown> {
readonly type: ViewStatusEnum.ERROR;
readonly error?: E;
}
export type ViewStatus<E = unknown> = ViewIdle | ViewLoading | ViewLoaded | ViewError<E>;
```
> The “ViewIdle” will be used to indicate that there is nothing in the store by the action. But you could use “ViewLoaded” if you prefer.
Let’s also create the “factories” functions.
```
export function loadingViewStatus(): ViewLoading {
return { type: ViewStatusEnum.LOADING };
}
export function idleViewStatus(): ViewIdle {
return {
type: ViewStatusEnum.IDLE,
};
}
export function loadedViewStatus(): ViewLoaded {
return {
type: ViewStatusEnum.LOADED,
};
}
export function errorViewStatus<E>(error?: E): ViewError<E> {
return {
type: ViewStatusEnum.ERROR,
error,
};
}
```
## Define a single store where we will hold a “view state” for a particular action
Let’s define the **ViewStateActions** so that our store can operate with them
```
export const ViewStateActions = createActionGroup({
source: 'ViewState',
events: {
startLoading: props<{ actionType: string }>(),
reset: props<{ actionType: string }>(),
error: props<{ actionType: string; error?: unknown }>(),
},
});
```
**actionType** is a string that represents the type of action (in our case it will be the “**loadTodo.type**” (the static property of an action).
The reset action will be used to remove the view state entity from the store.
Next define the state, reducer, and selectors:
We will make use of “**@ngrx/entity**” package to efficiently manage the collection of view states.
```
export interface ViewState<E> {
actionType: string;
viewStatus: ViewStatus<E>;
}
export function createViewStateFeature<E>() {
const viewStatesFeatureKey = 'viewStates';
const adapter: EntityAdapter<ViewState<E>> = createEntityAdapter<ViewState<E>>({
selectId: (viewState: ViewState<E>) => viewState.actionType
});
const initialState = adapter.getInitialState({});
const reducer = createReducer(
initialState,
on(ViewStateActions.startLoading, (state, { actionType }) => {
return adapter.upsertOne({ actionType, viewStatus: loadingViewStatus() }, state);
}),
on(ViewStateActions.error, (state, { actionType, error }) => {
return adapter.upsertOne({ actionType, viewStatus: errorViewStatus<E>(error as E) }, state);
}),
on(ViewStateActions.reset, (state, { actionType }) => {
return adapter.removeOne(actionType, state);
})
);
const viewStatesFeature = createFeature({
name: viewStatesFeatureKey,
reducer,
extraSelectors: ({ selectViewStatesState, selectEntities }) => {
function selectLoadingActions(...actions: Action[]): MemoizedSelector<object, boolean, DefaultProjectorFn<boolean>> {
return createSelector(selectEntities, (actionStatuses: Dictionary<ViewState<E>>) => {
return actions.some((action: Action): boolean => actionStatuses[action.type]?.viewStatus.type === ViewStatusEnum.LOADING);
});
}
function selectActionStatus(action: Action): MemoizedSelector<object, ViewStatus<E>, DefaultProjectorFn<ViewStatus<E>>> {
return createSelector(selectEntities, (actionsMap: Dictionary<ViewState<E>>): ViewStatus<E> => {
return (actionsMap[action.type]?.viewStatus as ViewStatus<E>) ?? idleViewStatus();
});
}
function selectViewState(action: Action): MemoizedSelector<object, ViewState<E>, DefaultProjectorFn<ViewState<E>>> {
return createSelector(selectEntities, (actionsMap: Dictionary<ViewState<E>>): ViewState<E> => {
return actionsMap[action.type] ?? { actionType: action.type, viewStatus: idleViewStatus() };
}
);
}
return {
...adapter.getSelectors(selectViewStatesState),
selectLoadingActions,
selectActionStatus,
selectViewState
};
}
});
const { selectActionStatus, selectLoadingActions, selectViewState } = viewStatesFeature;
return {
initialState,
viewStatesFeature,
selectActionStatus,
selectLoadingActions,
selectViewState
};
}
```
To summarize what we have done here:
**actionType** is a string that represents the type of action (for example the “loadTodo.type” (the static property of an action)
**viewStatus** is an instance of ViewStatus, which represents the current state of the view.
We utilize the **upsert** method from the adapter to add the view state to the store if it’s not already there, or update it if it is.
We’ve also defined additional selectors, including:
- **selectActionsLoading**: to select whether actions are in a loading state (useful for showing a loading overlay)
- **selectActionStatus**: to select actions status. If there’s nothing in the state by this action, we return the idleViewStatus to indicate that it’s “loaded.”
- **selectViewState**: to select the actual entity item from the store ({ actionType, viewStatus })
## Define logic that will tell that action is the “view state” action to filter it among others and set a “view state” for it
First, we will create an interface to specify which actions are intended to be the “view state” actions.
```
export interface ViewStateActionsConfig {
startLoadingOn: Action; // An action that triggers the start of loading.
resetOn: Action[]; // A list of actions that reset state.
errorOn: Action[];
}
```
so we could write something like this:
```
{
startLoadingOn: TodosActions.loadTodos,
resetOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosSuccess],
errorOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosFailure]
},
```
Next, we need to create a service to register and store the configuration of actions.
```
export type ActionsMapConfig = { viewState: 'startLoading' } | { viewState: 'reset', actionType: string } | { viewState: 'error', actionType: string };
export interface ViewStateActionsConfig {
startLoadingOn: Action;
resetOn: Action[];
errorOn: Action[];
}
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class ViewStateActionsService {
private actionsMap = new Map<string, ActionsMapConfig>();
public isStartLoadingAction(action: Action): boolean {
return this.actionsMap.get(action.type)?.viewState === 'startLoading';
}
public isResetLoadingAction(action: Action): boolean {
return this.actionsMap.get(action.type)?.viewState === 'reset';
}
public isErrorAction(action: Action): boolean {
return this.actionsMap.get(action.type)?.viewState === 'error';
}
public getActionType(action: Action): string | null {
const actionConfig = this.actionsMap.get(action.type);
if (!actionConfig) {
return null;
}
if (actionConfig.viewState === 'startLoading') {
return null;
}
return actionConfig.actionType
}
public add(actions: ViewStateActionsConfig[]): void {
actions.forEach((action: ViewStateActionsConfig) => {
this.actionsMap.set(action.startLoadingOn.type, { viewState: 'startLoading' });
action.resetOn.forEach((resetLoading: Action) => {
this.actionsMap.set(resetLoading.type, { viewState: 'reset', actionType: action.startLoadingOn.type });
});
action.errorOn.forEach((errorAction: Action) => {
this.actionsMap.set(errorAction.type, { viewState: 'error', actionType: action.startLoadingOn.type });
});
});
}
}
```
The idea of this service is to store which actions are meant to trigger loading, reset, or an error state.
There is an example of how our map will look for the following configuration:
```
{
startLoadingOn: TodosActions.loadTodos,
resetOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosSuccess],
erroOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosFailure]
},
private actionsMap = new Map<string, ActionsMapConfig>();
{
"[Todo] Load Todos": {
"viewState": "startLoading"
},
"[Todo] Load Todos Success": {
"viewState": "reset",
"actionType": "[Todo] Load Todos"
},
"[Todo] Load Todos Failure": {
"viewState": "error",
"actionType": "[Todo] Load Todos"
},
}
```
For "success" and "failure," we store the unique id actionType. This actionType is used to set the "view state" in the state, so we will have to update the "view state" using this id.
We now have a service that helps us determine “view state” actions. We can create an effect to filter and dispatch ViewStateActions to store the “view state” in the state.
```
@Injectable()
export class ViewStateEffects {
public startLoading$ = this.startLoading();
public reset$ = this.reset();
public error$ = this.error();
constructor(
private actions$: Actions,
private viewStateActionsService: ViewStateActionsService,
) {}
private startLoading() {
return createEffect(() => {
return this.actions$.pipe(
filter((action: Action) => {
return this.viewStateActionsService.isStartLoadingAction(action);
}),
map((action: Action) => {
return ViewStateActions.startLoading({ actionType: action.type });
}),
);
});
}
private reset() {
return createEffect(() => {
return this.actions$.pipe(
filter((action: Action) => {
return this.viewStateActionsService.isResetLoadingAction(action);
}),
map((action: Action ) => {
return ViewStateActions.reset({ actionType: this.viewStateActionsService.getActionType(action) ?? '' });
}),
);
});
}
private error() {
return createEffect(() => {
return this.actions$.pipe(
filter((action: Action) => {
return this.viewStateActionsService.isErrorAction(action);
}),
map((action: Action) => {
return ViewStateActions.error({
actionType: this.viewStateActionsService.getActionType(action) ?? '',
error: (action as Action & ViewStateErrorProps)?.viewStateError ?? undefined
});
}),
);
});
}
}
```
In this effect, we listen to “view-state” actions and dispatch corresponding actions, also for reset and error we get the actionType to update the view state in the state
Bringing all together:
1.Create view state feature:
```
// view-state.feature.ts
// Export feature, and selectors we have created
export const {
viewStatesFeature,
selectActionStatus,
selectLoadingActions
} = createViewStateFeature<string>()
```
2.Provide ViewState as a feature slice
```
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [
provideStore({}),
provideState(viewStatesFeature),
provideState(todosFeature),
provideEffects(ViewStateEffects, TodosEffects),
]
};
```
3.Register actions in the TodosEffect
```
// todos.effects.ts
@Injectable()
export class TodosEffects {
public getTodos$ = this.getTodos();
constructor(private actions$: Actions, private todosService: TodosService, private viewStateActionsService: ViewStateActionsService) {
this.viewStateActionsService.add([
{
startLoadingOn: TodosActions.loadTodos,
resetOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosSuccess],
errorOn: [TodosActions.loadTodosFailure]
},
// add, update, delete will look similar
}
private getTodos() {
return createEffect(() => this.actions$.pipe(
ofType(TodosActions.loadTodos),
switchMap(() => this.todosService.getTodos().pipe(
map(todos => TodosActions.loadTodosSuccess({ todos })),
catchError(() => of(TodosActions.loadTodosFailure({ viewStateError: 'Could not load todos' })))
)
)));
}
```
4.Select view state
```
// todos.selectors.ts
export const selectTodosViewState = selectActionStatus(TodosActions.loadTodos);
export const selectActionsLoading = selectLoadingActions(
TodosActions.addTodo,
TodosActions.updateTodo,
TodosActions.deleteTodo
);
```
5.Dispatch loadTodos action
```
@Component({
selector: 'app-todos',
standalone: true,
imports: [CommonModule],
templateUrl: './todos.component.html',
styleUrl: './todos.component.css'
})
export class TodosComponent {
public todos$ = this.store.select(selectTodos);
public viewStatus$ = this.store.select(selectTodosViewState);
public isOverlayLoading$ = this.store.select(selectActionsLoading);
constructor(private readonly store: Store) {
this.store.dispatch(TodosActions.loadTodos());
}
}
```
## Display loading/success/error templates based on ViewState
As we defined the "view state" at the beginning and have a selector that selects the viewStatus, we can now create a structural directive to conditionally render templates.
Here is an example of how a directive could look (This code is just a concept)
```
@Directive({
selector: '[ngxViewState]',
standalone: true,
})
export class ViewStateDirective {
@Input({ required: true, alias: 'ngxViewState' })
public set viewState(value: ViewStatus | null) {
// If we use the async pipe the first value will be null
if (value == null) {
this.viewContainerRef.clear();
this.createSpinner();
return;
}
this.onViewStateChange(value);
}
private viewStatusHandlers = {
[ViewStatusEnum.IDLE]: () => {
this.createContent();
},
[ViewStatusEnum.LOADING]: () => {
this.createSpinner();
},
[ViewStatusEnum.LOADED]: () => {
this.createContent();
},
[ViewStatusEnum.ERROR]: (viewStatus) => {
this.createErrorState(viewStatus.error);
},
};
constructor(
private viewContainerRef: ViewContainerRef,
private templateRef: TemplateRef<ViewStateContext<T>>,
private cdRef: ChangeDetectorRef,
@Inject(ERROR_STATE_COMPONENT)
private errorStateComponent: Type<ViewStateErrorComponent<unknown>>,
@Inject(LOADING_STATE_COMPONENT)
private loadingStateComponent: Type<unknown>,
) {}
private onViewStateChange(viewStatus: ViewStatus): void {
this.viewContainerRef.clear();
this.viewStatusHandlers[viewStatus.type](viewStatus);
this.cdRef.detectChanges();
}
private createContent(): void {
this.viewContainerRef.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef, this.viewContext);
}
private createSpinner(): void {
this.viewContainerRef.createComponent(this.loadingStateComponent);
}
private createErrorState(error?: unknown): void {
const component = this.viewContainerRef.createComponent(this.errorStateComponent);
component.setInput('viewStateError', error);
}
}
```
And let’s use it in the template. Don’t forget to import it into the component
```
<!-- todos.component.html -->
<ng-container *ngxViewState="viewStatus$ | async">
<table *ngIf="todos$ | async as todos" mat-table [dataSource]="todos">
// Render todos
</table>
<div class="loading-shade" *ngIf="isOverlayLoading$ | async">
<app-loading></app-loading>
</div>
</ng-container>
```
That is basically it.
So now all you have to do in other features that need loading/success/error view states is define view state actions in a effect and create selectors
```
// articles.effects.ts
this.viewStateActionsService.add([
{
startLoadingOn: ArticlesActions.loadArticles,
resetOn: [ArticlesActions.loadArticlesSuccess],
errorOn: [ArticlesActions.loadArticlesFailure]
},
]);
// articles.selectors.ts
export const selectArticlesViewState = selectActionStatus(ArticlesActions.loadArticles);
// books.effects.ts
this.viewStateActionsService.add([
{
startLoadingOn: BooksActions.loadBooks,
resetOn: [BooksActions.loadBooksSuccess],
errorOn: [BooksActions.loadBooksFailure]
},
]);
// books.selectors.ts
export const selectBooksViewState = selectActionStatus(BooksActions.loadBooks);
```
I believe it's a great time to introduce my library that can handle everything we've covered here.
The [ngx-view-state](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-view-state) library simplifies this process by providing a centralized way to handle view states such as loading, error, and loaded. And it comes with some other useful utils.

1,892,162 | QEMU networking on macOS | Introduction Setting up virtual machines (VMs) that can communicate with each other and... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:14:03 | https://dev.to/krjakbrjak/qemu-networking-on-macos-549k | ## Introduction
Setting up virtual machines (VMs) that can communicate with each other and are accessible from your host network is essential for various scenarios, such as managing Kubernetes clusters or setting up distributed computing environments. In this article, I explore how QEMU's [vmnet](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vmnet) support simplifies this process, allowing you to configure VMs effectively to meet your networking needs. Discover how you can enhance your workflow and improve collaboration between virtual instances and your host system.
## QEMU networking
[QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/) is an excellent open-source project that enables users to work on various projects across multiple platforms. Starting a VM instance with QEMU is straightforward. On my old Intel-based Mac, the following command will launch an Ubuntu cloud image:
```shell
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine q35 -accel hvf -m 2048 \
-nographic -hda ./jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img \
-smbios type=1,serial=ds='nocloud;s=http://192.168.178.37:8000/'
```
QEMU supports networking by emulating several popular network cards. According to the [documentation](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking), there are two parts to networking within QEMU:
1. The virtual network device provided to the guest.
2. The network backend that interacts with the emulated NIC.
By default, QEMU creates a [SLiRP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp) user network backend and an appropriate virtual network device for the guest, equivalent to using `-net nic -net user` on the command line. This network setup allows access to both the host and the internet, making it suitable for many use cases.
The primary drawback is that the VM cannot be accessed from the host or other VM instances. While port forwarding can be configured, it is inconvenient as it requires configuration for each port in the instance. For example:
```shell
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine q35 -accel hvf -m 2048 \
-nographic -hda ./jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img \
-smbios type=1,serial=ds='nocloud;s=http://192.168.178.37:8000/' \
-netdev user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:80 \
-device e1000,netdev=mynet0
```
From the host, one can perform tasks like `ssh -p 2222 user@localhost` or `curl localhost:8080`.
However, it would be much more convenient to have a VM instance accessible on the host network. This setup would allow spawning multiple VM instances that can be accessed from the host and communicate with each other.
On macOS, the [vmnet](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vmnet) framework facilitates this, and it is already supported by QEMU. This feature was added in [net-pull-request](https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/bcf0a3a422cd5d1b1c3c09c0e161205837dbe131) to the QEMU git tree. To utilize this functionality, the original command must be modified as follows:
```shell
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine q35 -accel hvf -m 2048 -nographic \
-hda ./jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img \
-smbios type=1,serial=ds='nocloud;s=http://192.168.178.37:8000/' \
-netdev vmnet-bridged,id=net0,ifname=en0 \
-device virtio-net,netdev=net0
```
See `qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev help` for more details.
## Conclusion
The vmnet support in QEMU offers a straightforward method to create VM instances that can easily communicate with each other and are accessible from your network. This capability is particularly valuable in scenarios such as managing a Kubernetes cluster, where you need seamless interaction between a control plane and multiple worker nodes. Take advantage of these tools to streamline your virtual environment setup and enhance your workflow. | krjakbrjak | |

1,892,270 | C++ 中呼叫不具參數的建構函式為什麼不能加圓括號？ | 在 C++ 中建立物件時, 如果是要使用預設的建構函式或是不具參數的建構函式時, 不能在變數名稱後面加上圓括號, 例如： class MyClass { public: int i; ... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:05:08 | https://dev.to/codemee/c-zhong-hu-jiao-bu-ju-can-shu-de-jian-gou-han-shi-wei-shi-mo-bu-neng-jia-yuan-gua-hao--2ch6 | cpp | 在 C++ 中建立物件時, 如果是要使用預設的建構函式或是不具參數的建構函式時, 不能在變數名稱後面加上圓括號, 例如：

MyClass() {
// 預設 (不含參數) 的建構函式
}
};
int main() {
MyClass obj; // 正確
obj.i = 10;
return 0;
}
```
如果寫成以下這樣：
```cpp
class MyClass {
public:
int i;
MyClass() {
// 預設 (不含參數) 的建構函式
}
};
int main() {
MyClass obj(); // 語法正確
obj.i = 10; // 這裡會出錯

```
就會出現編譯錯誤：
```
C:\Users\meebo\code\cpp\test.cpp: In function 'int main()':
C:\Users\meebo\code\cpp\test.cpp:12:9: error: request for member 'i' in 'obj', which is of non-class type 'MyClass()'
12 | obj.i = 10;
| ^
```
它的意思是 obj 並不是類別型態的變數, 所以無法讀取成員。你可能會覺得很奇怪, 但這是因為以下這一行：
```cpp
MyClass obj(); // 語法正確
```
被編譯器解釋為宣告一個名稱為 obj、沒有參數, 且傳回值是 `MyClass` 類別物件的函式, 因此錯誤訊息中可以看到它認為 `obj` 是 `MyClass()` 型別, 也就是傳回 `MyClass` 類別物件, 沒有引數的函式, 函式當然就無法讀取成員。
對於 C++ 編譯器來說, 雖然同一行程式也可看成是要透過沒有參數的建構函式建立物件, 但它只能選擇其中一種解譯方式。如果把這一行當成是透過沒有引數的建構函式建立物件, 那實際上是要宣告一個沒有引數的函式時, 編譯器就無法正確判斷出來了。為了解決這個問題, 因此 C++ 的語法規定在呼叫沒有引數的建構函式時, 不能加上呼叫語法的圓括號, 否則就會視為是要宣告一個沒有引數的函式。 | codemee |

1,892,268 | HMPL - new template language for fetching HTML from API | In this article I will talk about a new template language called HMPL. It allows you to easily load... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:01:58 | https://dev.to/antonmak1/hmpl-new-template-language-for-fetching-html-from-api-5a7c | webdev, javascript, html, hmpl | In this article I will talk about a new template language called [HMPL](https://github.com/hmpljs/hmpl). It allows you to easily load HTML from the API, eliminating a ton of unnecessary code.
The main goal of hmpl.js is to simplify working with the server by integrating small request structures into HTML. This can be compared to how, in files with a php extension, you could work with the response from the server received through a php request, but at the same time work with it directly through javascript. Using the example of simply getting the title from a button, you can understand how this template language can simplify your work
This template language allows you to repeat the string template that was specified. That is, in code it looks like this:
```javascript
import { compile } from "hmpl-js";
const templateFn = compile(
`<div>
<request src="/api/test"></request>
</div>`
);
const wrapper = document.getElementById("wrapper");
const obj1 = templateFn();
const obj2 = templateFn();
wrapper.appendChild(obj1.response);
wrapper.appendChild(obj2.response);
```
The module is based on fetch api, which allows you to work with the server using modern JS tools.
To interact with the fetch API, a settings object was also created, which is based on the RequestInit type. Example code:
```javascript
const elementObj = templateFn({
method: "POST",
mode: "cors",
cache: "no-cache",
credentials: "same-origin",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "text/html",
},
redirect: "follow",
get: (prop, value) => {},
referrerPolicy: "no-referrer",
body: JSON.stringify(data),
signal: new AbortController().signal,
integrity: "...",
window: null,
refferer: "about:client",
});
```
The syntax of the template language itself makes it possible to use files with the .hmpl extension to create practical and understandable project file structures, as well as to separate regular HTML from “modular” ones.
The module is very small in size (version 1.0.9). It weighs less than 100 kilobytes in npm. The minified file itself weighs even less.
The module has several connection options for maximum ease of use in tasks:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/hmpl-js/dist/hmpl.min.js"></script>
```
or
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"hmpl-js": "latest",
}
}
```
or
webpack.config.js
```javascript
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.hmpl$/i,
use: ["hmpl-loader"],
}
]
}
}
```
Examples of simple projects on the module:

1,892,267 | DataTable in C# – Usage And Examples 🧪 | DataTables are an essential part of data handling in C#, but they can be quite tricky for beginners... | 0 | 2024-06-18T10:01:49 | https://dev.to/bytehide/datatable-in-c-usage-and-examples-40f2 | datatable, csharp, promptengineering, tutorial | DataTables are an essential part of data handling in C#, but they can be quite tricky for beginners as well as those who haven’t used them often. So, ready to unravel the mysteries of C# DataTables? Let’s weather the storm together and emerge as DataTable champions!
## Introduction: What Is DataTable
DataTable, in C#, is like a mini-database living in your computer’s memory, representing a single table of in-memory data. Isn’t it exciting to imagine a whole database in such a small space?
## Understanding C# DataTable and Its Core Functionality
DataTable is part of ADO.NET, the data access model from Microsoft used in .NET framework. It represents a single table of data with a collection of columns and rows. DataTable can be standalone or part of a DataSet, which can hold multiple DataTable objects.
```csharp
// Create a new DataTable
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
```
Look, we just created a new DataTable!
## Delving Into the Creation of a DataTable
Let’s take a deeper dive into the creation process of a DataTable. It’s just like baking, but instead of flour and eggs, we’re using columns and rows.
### How to Create a DataTable
Creating a DataTable involves declaring a new instance of the DataTable class.
```csharp
DataTable table = new DataTable("Customers");
```
We’ve cooked up a new table called “Customers”. Who said programming can’t be fun!
### Add Column to DataTable
Having a table is great but what’s a table without its columns?
```csharp
table.Columns.Add("CustomerID", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add("CustomerName", typeof(string));
```
Like a proud chef, we’ve just added two columns to our Customers table!
## Populating Your DataTable
Creating a table and adding columns is just the beginning. We’ll now add the lifeblood of a table – data!
### Adding DataRow to DataTable
DataRow represents a single row in the DataTable. Here’s how to add them:
```csharp
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row["CustomerID"] = 1;
row["CustomerName"] = "John Doe";
table.Rows.Add(row);
```
With these few lines of code, our Customer table has its first row of data!
## DataTable and Row Addition: Building a C# DataTable from Scratch
Building a DataTable from scratch gives us an empty canvas to work with. Create the table, define the columns, and add rows to it. It’s like giving birth to a new table, isn’t it?
```csharp
DataTable table = new DataTable("Orders");
table.Columns.Add("OrderID", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add("OrderAmount", typeof(decimal));
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row["OrderID"] = 101;
row["OrderAmount"] = 150.75m;
table.Rows.Add(row);
```
With our nifty hands, we’ve made a new Orders table with one row of data! Isn’t C# amazing?
## Learn to Manipulate DataTable in C#: From Simple to Complex Operations
Now that our DataTable is alive with data, let’s learn to play with it. A skillful magician never reveals his secrets, but here, we break the rules!
### Getting Column Value from DataTable
Accessing column values from a DataRow is similar to accessing values from an array or a dictionary. See this neat trick:
```csharp
DataRow row = table.Rows[0];
int orderId = row.Field<int>("OrderID");
decimal amount = row.Field<decimal>("OrderAmount");
```
You know the feeling when you crack the secret code? This is it!
### Iterating through DataTable
Running around the DataTable in circles, or in programming terms, iterating over the DataTable, is like a fun sport!
```csharp
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows){
int orderId = row.Field<int>("OrderID");
decimal amount = row.Field<decimal>("OrderAmount");
}
```
What’s better than a victory lap? A lap around your DataTable!
### Comparing DataTable’s Column Values
Often, you’ll need to compare DataTable column values. It’s like a little detective game, where variables are our clues.
### Comparing Two DataTable Column Values in C#: A Practical Guide
Let’s find out how to compare column values from two different DataTables.
```csharp
bool areEquals = dataTable1.AsEnumerable()
.SequenceEqual(dataTable2.AsEnumerable(), DataRowComparer.Default);
```
Ah, the joy of finding the missing piece of the puzzle!
## Select and Sort Operations
The ability to select or sort data is like a powerful magic spell that every C# programmer must learn!
### C# Select from DataTable
Select operation is similar to a SQL SELECT query.
```csharp
DataRow[] selectedRows = table.Select("OrderAmount > 100");
```
Abracadabra! We have the rows with Order Amount greater than 100.
### Sorting DataTable
Sorting is significant when dealing with a large amount of data. It’s like arranging your stuff in order.
```csharp
table.DefaultView.Sort = "OrderAmount DESC";
table = table.DefaultView.ToTable();
```
Just like magic, all our data is sorted in descending order of Order Amount!
## Filtering and List Conversion
Enough chit-chat, let’s dive into the serious stuff – filtering data and converting DataTable to lists!
### Filtering DataTable
Filtering is essential when working with massive datasets. It’s like going fishing with a good net.
```csharp
DataRow[] result = table.Select("OrderAmount > 100 AND OrderAmount < 200");
```
We’ve just caught all rows with Order Amount between 100 and 200!
### List DataTable
Listing a DataTable allows us to handle and manipulate the data efficiently.
```csharp
List<DataRow> list = table.AsEnumerable().ToList();
```
It’s like neatly stacking your records in separate drawers.
### Convert DataTable to List
Converting a DataTable to a List gives us more methods and features for manipulating our data.
```csharp
var list = table.AsEnumerable().Select(row => new Customer {
CustomerId = row.Field<int>("CustomerID"),
CustomerName = row.Field<string>("CustomerName")
}).ToList();
```
Our DataTable is now a List of Customers.
### Creating a DataTable from C# List
Creating a DataTable from a List is like reverse engineering!
```csharp
DataTable newDt = new DataTable();
newDt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[2] {
new DataColumn("CustomerId", typeof(int)),
new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string))});
foreach (var item in list)
{
var row = newDt.NewRow();
row["CustomerId"] = item.CustomerId;
row["Name"] = item.Name;
newDt.Rows.Add(row);
}
```
Surprise! We’ve turned our Customers List back into a DataTable!
## Exporting DataTable into Different Formats
Let’s find out how to export our DataTable into various formats. Imagine you’re a magician, and your DataTable is your magic hat!
### DataTable to CSV Conversion
Converting a DataTable to a CSV file is like translating your thoughts into another language.
```csharp
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
string[] columnNames = dt.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Select(column => column.ColumnName).ToArray();
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(",", columnNames));
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
string[] fields = row.ItemArray.Select(field => field.ToString()).ToArray();
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(",", fields));
}
File.WriteAllText("path_to_your_csv_file.csv", sb.ToString());
```
Your data can now speak CSV!
### How to Export C# DataTable to Excel
Exporting DataTable to Excel can be easily achieved using libraries such as EPPlus or NPOI.
```csharp
using (var excelFile = new ExcelPackage())
{
var worksheet = excelFile.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Sheet1");
worksheet.Cells["A1"].LoadFromDataTable(table, true);
excelFile.SaveAs(new FileInfo("path_to_excel_file.xlsx"));
}
```
Hocus pocus, our DataTable is now in Excel!
### C# DataTable to PDF
The conversion of DataTable to PDF requires third-party libraries like iTextSharp or SelectPdf.
```csharp
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream("data.pdf", FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
PdfPTable pdfTable = new PdfPTable(dt.Columns.Count);
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Columns.Count; i++) {
pdfTable.AddCell(new Phrase(dt.Columns[i].ColumnName));
}
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < dt.Columns.Count; j++) {
pdfTable.AddCell(new Phrase(dt.Rows[i][j].ToString()));
}
}
document.Add(pdfTable);
document.Close();
```
Abracadabra! Our DataTable is now a PDF!
### DataReader to DataTable Conversion
Converting a data reader to a DataTable comes handy when we need to manipulate object data using DataTables.
### C#: From DataReader to DataTable with Minimum Effort
A DataReader provides a forward-only cursor for reading rows from a SQL Server database, DataTable makes the data manipulation easier.
```csharp
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(reader);
```
Boom! We just turned a DataReader into a DataTable!
## Using AsEnumerable and Select with DataTable
DataTable’s AsEnumerable extension method provides a powerful way to query data using LINQ, similar to querying a collection of entities.
### DataTable AsEnumerable Select
Let’s understand how AsEnumerable and Select all tie up.
```csharp
var result = from row in table.AsEnumerable()
where row.Field<int>("CustomerID") == 1
select row;
```
No more messing around, eh? We’ve just selected all rows where CustomerID equals 1!
In a nutshell, DataTable allows you to organize and manipulate data in a tabular format, be it creating DataTable, adding rows, fetching column values, sorting, selecting or even exporting to various formats like CSV, Excel, or PDF. I hope that this thorough guide to DataTable in C# has advanced your skills in C#. Don’t forget, practice makes perfect. Happy coding! | bytehide |

1,892,262 | Top Medium Alternatives for 2024 | Explore the pros and cons of the best Medium alternatives - HubPages, Differ, Substack,... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:55:11 | https://dev.to/sunilsandhu/top-medium-alternatives-for-2024-22gj | writing, blogging, medium, contentwriting | ## Explore the pros and cons of the best Medium alternatives - HubPages, Differ, Substack, Hashnode, Hackernoon, Vocal Media, and more.
Initially, Evan Williams [founded Medium with the vision of creating a long-form version of Twitter](https://techcrunch.com/2013/09/14/twitter-co-founder-evan-williams-lays-out-his-vision-for-medium/), providing a space for writers to share content beyond the limitations of 140 characters. While Medium has been a popular platform for many, exploring other options can offer unique features and benefits that may better align with your goals.
If you're a content creator, staying up-to-date with the best online blogging platforms is crucial to establishing your online presence, building your readership, and expanding your audience.
Here are some of the top Medium alternatives for 2024, each offering distinct features, whether free or paid to help you share your content, and reach and engage with your audience.
### 1\. Differ
[Differ.blog](https://differ.blog/) is a unique blogging platform that's **completely free to use**. It aims to create a more straightforward and engaging user experience for both writers and readers, and stands out for its transparency and control offered over content visibility, avoiding algorithmic curation along the way.
This approach (powerful filters placed in the user's hand, rather than the black box of an algorithm) allows readers to find the stories they want to read without being inundated with suggested content based on past behavior.
Alongside the standard rich-text editor, Differ fully supports markdown syntax. You can use markdown shortcuts like # for headings, > for blockquotes, and triple backticks (followed by a language) for code blocks. This is perfect for markdown enthusiasts, allowing you to effortlessly copy and paste your markdown content directly into Differ.
What's more, Differ's curation team will pick a number of articles weekly (from any topic; it just has to be good enough) to showcase on the homepage, increasing your chances of reaching more readers. Besides the showcase, the platform also offers a Trending section that ranks the top-performing articles by views, meaning if your article is getting more views, it can remain featured on the homepage for way longer than a week.
Users also get the ability to create publications that other users can follow and engage with. Like Medium, publications are essentially a hub for stories that are related by topic.
Differ is open to all topics ranging from pop culture to gaming, from politics to entertainment, tech to marketing, programming, storytelling, and more. Because of its intriguing approach, eschewing algorithmic content entirely, writers must add proper tags to their articles and adjust titles and metadata for SEO to increase reach, and readers need to filter their search based on appropriate tags. You'll have full control over your story, for better or worse.
Differ also regularly offers paid writing opportunities through [writing contests](https://differ.blog/p/differ-writing-challenge-announcement-5bde3d) that hand out cash prizes weekly.
**👉 *For information on the writing challenge, check out their* **[***official publication***](https://differ.blog/blog)***.***
**Cost:** Completely free to use. You can even create and customize your own publications for free.
**Pros:**
- **Transparent approach that enables freedom of expression**: Differ does not use algorithms to suggest content, offering a more transparent and user-driven experience. Writers can post their content without worrying about algorithmic biases that might limit their audience.
- **User engagement**: By focusing on user preferences rather than algorithms, Differ fosters a community where content visibility is more democratic.
- **Human curation team to find the best of the best:** Differ showcases exceptional stories regularly on the homepage, hand-picked by its experienced, diverse, and multicultural team.
- **Ability to create publications:** Much like Medium, Differ offers a publication feature to house articles related to similar topics.
- **A powerful rich-text editor that is markdown aware:** Beneficial for anyone more familiar with markdown, or preferring to import their articles stored in markdown format.
**Cons:**
- **It's a fairly new platform**: As Differ is a new platform it might take time initially to increase impressions. To help this along, you can share posts on various social media channels where you have more followers, or on platforms like Reddit.
- **Early in development**: While Differ offers the basics needed for blogging, right now it might lack some advanced features like advanced analytics, or an archive that can be sorted and filtered datewise. However, it is constantly in development, with new features added each week.
Differ is truly unique compared to anything on this list and could be one of the breakout platforms in the coming months. Check it out yourself, by [signing up for free](https://differ.blog/).

The following Excel table has a grouping column and two detailed data columns.
We need to combine the two detail data columns in each group into one row and automatically generate column headers for the new columns.
**Solution**:
Use **SPL XLL** to type in the following formula:
```
=spl("=d=E(?).group@o(Object).(Object|(~.conj([Name,Info]))), [$[Object]|(d.max(~.len())\2).conj([$[Name] / #,$[Info] / #])] | d",A1:C13)

1,885,712 | How, why and when to squash your commit history | I'm sure this has been covered a million times but here's number a million and one! I've been... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:49:45 | https://dev.to/timreach/how-why-and-when-to-make-your-commit-history-more-useful-525p | git | I'm sure this has been covered a million times but here's number a million and one!
I've been coding a decade now, but only working in an active team of devs for about a year or two so I'm pretty green on some git practices. One thing that I have never thought about until very recently is the problem with having too many commits.
**Downsides of too many commits:**
- It is often just too much to get your head around if you're doing a review. Loads of tiny commits just make commits un-useful.
- If you have to do a rebase, you may be prone to lots and lots of commit merges. If you do as many tiny commits as me this can take a huge amount of time to work through.
- It makes it harder to find when bugs were introduced on your working branch. Fewer, descriptive commits are much more likely to yield answers a lot faster.
My approach has always been *do a thing* -> *do a commit* - what I will call scum-saving, which I of course learned as a practice from playing RPGs. The only change for me now is once I am ready to push I look at what I've done and see how I can realistically group the commits.
**Note:** there are arguments against doing this and there is such thing as going too far, but I shall address these ideas at the end.
### Undoing commits using `git reset`
First, a quick explanation of `git reset`. This command is a way of rolling back commits in your local working tree. This can be used as an undo commit function when you mis-commit something or you can actually undo the changes in your code. There are three flavours:
`$ git reset --hard <commit>` - which uncommits **and deletes** all changes in your local files back to the point of the passed commit hash
`$ git reset --mixed <commit>` (which is default so you can leave the `--mixed` out if you want...) - which uncommits and unstages all changed but leaves the changes in your files
`$ git reset --soft <commit>` - which just uncommits them but leaves them staged ready to commit again
We will use the `soft` option to squash scum-save commits...
### Grouping (or squashing) commits
What we are actually going to do here is what is generally referred to in git terms as "squashing" your commit history - uncommit a bunch of commits, then re-apply the changes in one commit. So let's use `git reset` to squash some commits.
1. Using `git log` find the hash of the commit you want to reset to. This might be the point at which you branched from your `main` branch or it might be the last major commit.
2. Run `git reset --soft <your commit hash here>` All the changes since the specified hash will now be uncommitted and staged
3. Run `git commit -m "A message that sums up all these changes as one task"`
And congrats, your many commits have been turned into one single commit.
**Note:** if any of the commits between the given hash and your current HEAD have been pushed to your remote e.g. GitHub, you will need to *force push* the changes to overwrite the remote's history. This is done by running `$ git push origin your/branchname --force`
The above is using the git CLI, however if you prefer a GUI, I would recommend [GitGraph](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mhutchie.git-graph) for VSCode which allows you to see your commit history, right click a commit and reset back to that point. Remember to choose soft.
### When to not do this
The main argument against doing this is it changes the history of your git repository. If you're working on a feature branch on your own this might be ok but do not do a reset and force push on a collaborative branch without speaking with the other people you are working with as they will need to make sure they reset to the same commit on their local machine.
Another pitfall is over-squashing. When it comes to reviewing a PR having just one commit might sometimes be ok, but in a complex feature the ideal is that each major step in completing the feature has a discrete commit. Perhaps the data fetching and processing, the presentational feature and then the tests. Dividing these into commits will make it a little nicer for a reviewer. That said, many repositories will just squash the contents of a PR as its merged, so the benefit of this is minimal.
So go forward and have a play. Remember you can always make backup branches when trying new things which you can merge back into your working branch if something goes wrong. Good luck and may your commit histories be understandable but still descriptive! | timreach |

1,892,247 | How to check if an Azure Marketplace image is marked for deprecation | When working within the cloud you need to understand and plan for services or functionality that... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:42:27 | https://www.techielass.com/how-to-check-if-an-azure-marketplace-image-is-marked-for-deprecation/ | azure, powershell | 
When working within the cloud you need to understand and plan for services or functionality that might be deprecated. One important aspect to keep an eye on is the deprecation status of Azure Marketplace images.
Deprecated images can pose risks such as lack of support, security vulnerabilities, and incompatibility with newer services.
This post will guide you through the process of determining whether an Azure Marketplace image is marked for deprecation using PowerShell commands.
### Why Monitor Azure Marketplace Image Deprecation?
Images in Azure Marketplace are periodically updated, and older versions may be marked for deprecation. When an image is deprecated it is often removed from the Azure Marketplace, meaning it won’t be available for use anymore.
It’s important to keep an eye on when an image will be deprecated so you have an understand of when it might not be available anymore. So you can plan accordingly.
Sometimes images are deprecated and not removed from the Marketplace meaning they are still available for use, however, they might not be kept updated date so are open to security threats. Also using deprecated images might lead to you operating in a non-supported environment, meaning if issues occur you won’t receive any technical support.
### Finding the SKU Name
Before you can check the deprecation status of an image, you need to identify the SKU name. If you don’t know the SKU name, use the following command to find all relevant images. For example, to search for Windows Server 2012 images in the West US 3 region, you can use this command:
```
$Location = "westus3"
$PublisherName = "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
$Offer = "WindowsServer"
$Wildcard = "2012"
Get-AzVMImageSku -Location $Location -PublisherName $PublisherName -Offer $Offer | Where-Object { $_.Skus -like "*$Wildcard*" }
```
_Get-AzVMImageSKU output_
### Finding the Versions of a Specific SKU
Once you have identified the SKU name, the next step is to find the available image versions. For example, to find all versions of the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter SKU, you can use:
```
$Location = "westus3"
$PublisherName = "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
$Offer = "WindowsServer"
$Sku = "2012-R2-Datacenter"
Get-AzVMImage -Location $Location -PublisherName $PublisherName -Offer $Offer -Sku $Sku
```
_Get-AzVMimage output_
### Checking the Deprecation Status
After identifying the version of the image you want to check, you can find out if and when an image is going to be deprecated by running this command:
```
$Location = "westus3"
$PublisherName = "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
$Offer = "WindowsServer"
$Sku = "2012-R2-Datacenter"
$Version = "9600.21620.231004"
Get-AzVMImage -Location $Location -PublisherName $PublisherName -Offer $Offer -Sku $Sku -Version $Version | Select-Object -ExpandProperty "ImageDeprecationStatus"
```
_Get-AZVMImage deprecation output_
### Conclusion
Monitoring the deprecation status of Azure Marketplace images is a vital part of maintaining a secure and up-to-date cloud environment. By using the PowerShell commands provided in this guide, you can efficiently identify the deprecation status of any image, ensuring you remain proactive in managing your Azure resources.
Keep these steps handy and incorporate them into your regular cloud management routines to avoid any surprises related to deprecated images. | techielass |

1,892,237 | Data Migration from GP to GBase8a - Detailed Explanation of Data Types | 1. Overview This section provides guidance on mapping Greenplum's standard data types to... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:39:07 | https://dev.to/gbasedatbase/data-migration-from-gp-to-gbase8a-detailed-explanation-of-data-types-28cf | database, greenplum, gbasedatabase | ## 1. Overview
This section provides guidance on mapping Greenplum's standard data types to GBase database tables during the migration process. There are four main categories of data types:
- Binary data types
- Character data types
- Numeric data types
- Date/time data types
While most of Greenplum's built-in types can be replaced by corresponding types in GBase8a, certain types (such as geometric types, network address types, text search types, and custom types) do not have standard mappings. These require selecting appropriate GBase types based on the application's needs and possibly adjusting the related application code accordingly.
## 2. Binary Data Type Migration
### 2.1 BYTEA Data Type
In Greenplum, the `bytea` type is used to store binary data such as Word, Excel documents, and image files, with a maximum size of 1GB. The equivalent type in GBase is `LONGBLOB`, but its maximum size is only 64MB.
The `bytea` type in Greenplum can be formatted in either hexadecimal or escape format. The escape format uses ASCII character sequences to represent binary data, which can be convenient but may blur the distinction between binary and character strings, making it cumbersome. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid this format in new applications when possible.
## 3. Character Data Types
### 3.1 CHARACTER VARYING(N), VARCHAR(N) Types
In Greenplum, these types store variable-length strings with a length limit and a maximum size of 10MB. The equivalent in GBase is `VARCHAR` or `TEXT`, with a maximum length of 10,922 characters.
### 3.2 CHARACTER, CHAR(N) Types
These are used for fixed-length strings in Greenplum, padding with spaces if necessary, with a maximum size of 10MB. The GBase equivalent is `CHAR` (up to 255 bytes) or `TEXT`.
### 3.3 TEXT Type
In Greenplum, this type stores variable-length strings without a length limit. The GBase equivalent is `TEXT`, with a maximum length of 10,922 characters.
## 4. Numeric Data Types
### 4.1 SMALLINT
A standard SQL data type with a storage length of 2 bytes, ranging from -32,768 to +32,767. In GBase, use the `SMALLINT` type.
### 4.2 INT, INTEGER
A standard SQL data type with a storage length of 4 bytes, ranging from -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647. In GBase, use `INT` or `INTEGER`.
### 4.3 BIGINT
A standard SQL data type with a storage length of 8 bytes, ranging from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to +9,223,372,036,854,775,807. In GBase, use `BIGINT`.
### 4.4 DECIMAL(p,s), NUMERIC(p,s)
A variable-length standard SQL data type. In GBase, use `DECIMAL(p,s)`.
### 4.5 FLOAT[(precision)]
A standard SQL data type. In GBase, use `FLOAT(precision)`.
### 4.6 REAL
A standard SQL data type. In GBase, use a high-precision `DECIMAL` data type.
### 4.7 DOUBLE PRECISION
A standard SQL data type. In GBase, use `DOUBLE`.
## 5. TIMESTAMP Data Types
### 5.1 P[(precision)]
Stores date and time values including year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. Precision ranges from 0 to 9, with a default of 6. GBase equivalent: `TIMESTAMP`, but only precise to seconds, ranging from January 1, 1970, to January 19, 2038.
### 5.2 TIMESTAMP[(precision)] WITH TIME ZONE
Stores timestamp values with time zone. GBase equivalent: `TIMESTAMP`, but does not retain time zone information.
### 5.3 DATE
Stores date values comprising year, month, and day. Year range: 0001 to 9999. GBase equivalent: `DATETIME`, ranging from January 1, 0001, to December 31, 9999.
### 5.4 TIME
Stores time values comprising hours, minutes, and seconds. GBase equivalent: `TIMESTAMP`.
### 5.5 TIME[(precision)] WITH TIME ZONE
Stores time values with time zone. GBase equivalent: `TIMESTAMP`, but does not retain time zone information.

1,545,806 | Como Crear anotaciones en Java | Las anotaciones en Java son una poderosa herramienta que permite agregar metadatos personalizados a... | 0 | 2023-07-22T21:02:55 | https://dev.to/andersonsinaluisa/como-crear-anotaciones-en-java-2071 | Las anotaciones en Java son una poderosa herramienta que permite agregar metadatos personalizados a clases, métodos, variables y otros elementos del código. Estas anotaciones pueden ser utilizadas para proporcionar información adicional, configurar comportamientos especiales o simplificar la lógica de programación. En este artículo, exploraremos cómo crear anotaciones en Java y cómo aprovechar su potencial para mejorar la legibilidad y funcionalidad de tu código.
**¿Qué son las anotaciones en Java?**
En esencia, una anotación en Java es una forma de metadatos que se puede agregar al código fuente. Las anotaciones comienzan con el símbolo @, seguido del nombre de la anotación. Estas pueden incluir parámetros que se utilizan para personalizar su comportamiento.
Java incluye muchas anotaciones integradas, como `@Override`, `@Deprecated` y `@SuppressWarnings`, que proporcionan información adicional sobre el código. Sin embargo, también puedes crear tus propias anotaciones personalizadas para adaptarlas a tus necesidades específicas.
**Creando una Anotación Personalizada**
Para crear una anotación personalizada en Java, debes definir una nueva interfaz y marcarla con la anotación `@interface`. Veamos un ejemplo sencillo de una anotación para marcar métodos que requieren ser probados exhaustivamente:
```
package com.asinaluisa.annotations;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ApiClass {
String value() default "";
String keyProjectId() default "{projectId}";
String[] methods() default {};
String[] methodclass() default {};
String[] keyPath() default {};
}
```
En este ejemplo, hemos creado la anotación `@ApiClass`. También hemos especificado que la anotación debe conservarse en tiempo de ejecución `(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)`, lo que permitirá que se acceda a ella mediante reflexión.
La anotación tiene varios parámetros, responsable y casos, que son de tipo String y String[], respectivamente. Estos parámetros permitirán proporcionar información adicional al marcar una clase con esta anotación.
**Aplicando la Anotación en Código**
Una vez creada la anotación, podemos aplicarla a un método en nuestro código. Supongamos que tenemos una clase `Folder `y queremos relacionarla con una url para enviar los datos a un API Rest,
```
@ApiClass(value="/projects/{projectId}/testcase-folders",
keyProjectId = "{projectId}", methods = {"POST","GET","PUT","DELETE","GET"},
methodclass = {"save","get","update","delete","getAll"}, keyPath = {"{projectId}"}
)
public class Folder extends QMetryAPI<Folder> {
private String folderName;
private int parentId;
public Folder() {
super("10000");
}
public Folder(String folderName, int parentId) {
this.folderName = folderName;
this.parentId = parentId;
}
public String getFolderName() {
return folderName;
}
public int getParentId() {
return parentId;
}
public void setFolderName(String folderName) {
this.folderName = folderName;
}
public void setParentId(int parentId) {
this.parentId = parentId;
}
}
```
En este caso, hemos aplicado la anotación `@ApiClass` a la clase `Folder`, proporcionando valores para los parámetros.
**Recuperando Anotaciones mediante Reflexión**
Un aspecto interesante de las anotaciones en Java es que puedes recuperar la información que contienen mediante reflexión. Esto es útil cuando deseas analizar o procesar la anotación en tiempo de ejecución. A continuación, se muestra un ejemplo sencillo de cómo recuperar la información de la anotación
```
@ApiClass
```
aplicada en la clase Padre `QMetryAPI<T>`
```
public class QMetryAPI<T>{
private final String URL = "https://private-anon-643f6a92e0-qmetryforjiracloud40.apiary-mock.com/rest/api/latest";
private final String APIKEY = "";
public T save() {
ApiClass api = null ;
Class<?> subclase = this.getClass();
api = getApiClass(subclase);
String[] methods = api.methods();
String[] methodsClass = api.methodclass();
String Path =api.value();
}
protected ApiClass getApiClass(Class<?> c){
ApiClass apiClass = null;
boolean isApiClass = c.isAnnotationPresent(ApiClass.class);
if (isApiClass) {
apiClass = c.getAnnotation(ApiClass.class);
}
return apiClass;
}
}
```
Las anotaciones en Java son una característica valiosa que te permite agregar metadatos personalizados a tu código. Al crear tus propias anotaciones, puedes mejorar la legibilidad, el mantenimiento y la funcionalidad de tus programas, proporcionando información adicional o configurando comportamientos específicos. Además, la capacidad de recuperar anotaciones mediante reflexión abre un mundo de posibilidades para la creación de bibliotecas y marcos avanzados.

How can large language models self-improve? Let's demystify this magic! This blog aims to unravel the intricacies of how these models, once a figment of science fiction, are now a reality, enhancing their capabilities through internal mechanisms without the need for external supervision. We will delve into the meaning of self-improvement in LLMs, explore the innovative methodologies that enable this, discuss the profound implications for the future of AI, and learn about an alternative way for better LLM performances - - [**LLM APIs**](https://novita.ai/llm-api).
## What Does It Mean by Saying LLMs Can Self-Improve?
When we say Large Language Models (LLMs) can "self-improve," it means that these AI models have the capability to enhance their performance on certain tasks through a process that relies primarily on their own internal mechanisms, without the need for external supervision or the input of correct answers (labels). Here's a breakdown of what this entails:
### Utilization of Unlabeled Data
Traditionally, improving an LLM's performance requires a large amount of labeled data - data that has been manually annotated with correct answers. Self-improvement means the LLM can work with unlabeled data, generating its own potential answers.
### Generation of Multiple Solutions
The LLM generates multiple possible answers or solutions to a given question or problem. This is often done by simulating different reasoning paths or approaches to arrive at an answer.
### Internal Consistency Check
Using techniques like majority voting or self-consistency, the LLM evaluates its own generated answers and selects the most consistent or likely correct one. This selection process is based on the model's confidence in the answers rather than external validation.
### Feedback Loop for Learning
The LLM uses the high-confidence answers it generates as if they were correct labels. It then fine-tunes its parameters based on these self-generated answers, effectively learning from its own thought processes.
### Iterative Refinement
This process can be repeated iteratively, where the LLM continues to generate new answers, select the most consistent ones, and refine its understanding and performance on the task.
### Improvement Without Human Intervention
The key aspect of self-improvement is that it minimizes the need for human intervention. While humans may still be involved in the initial setup or in evaluating the outcomes, the learning process itself is automated.
### Enhanced Reasoning Abilities
Over time, this self-improvement process can lead to significant enhancements in the LLM's reasoning abilities, making it more capable of handling complex tasks and providing more accurate responses.
## How Can LLMs Self-improve?
The article "Large Language Models Can Self-Improve" shows us LLM's ability to self-improve by using self-labeled data. Like always, skip the section if you are not interested in technical details.
### Background
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been achieving state-of-the-art performance across a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Despite these advances, improving their capabilities beyond a few examples typically requires extensive fine-tuning with high-quality, supervised datasets.
### Inspiration from Human Cognition
The paper draws inspiration from the human ability to enhance reasoning skills through introspection and self-thinking without external guidance. It proposes a method for LLMs to similarly self-improve using only unlabeled datasets, emulating the metacognitive process.
### Self-Improvement Methodology
- A **pre-trained LLM** is utilized to work with unlabeled question datasets.
- The model employs **Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting** to generate multiple reasoning paths and answers for each question, showcasing the step-by-step thought process.
- **Majority voting** is used to select the most frequent answer among the generated responses, indicating high confidence.
- The reasoning paths leading to the most consistent answer are retained for further use in **self-training**.
### Diverse Training Formats
To prevent model overfitting to specific prompts, the selected reasoning paths are formatted into four different styles for training, including using CoT examples, direct answers (also generated by the model itself), and prompts that encourage the model to think independently.
### Automatic Generation of Questions and Prompts
To minimize reliance on human-generated content, the authors explore techniques for the model to automatically create additional training questions and CoT prompts, further enhancing the self-improvement process.
### Empirical Validation
Experiments conducted using a 540B-parameter LLM demonstrate significant performance improvements across various benchmarks without the need for true labels, showcasing the model's enhanced reasoning abilities.
### Results
The self-improvement method showed substantial benefits across different tasks, including arithmetic reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and natural language inference. The authors conclude that LLMs can improve their performance on reasoning datasets by training on self-generated labels, achieving new state-of-the-art results without relying on ground truth labels.
## Self-Improving LLMs, So What?
### Enhanced Performance
LLMs will continuously improve their accuracy and effectiveness in performing tasks such as language translation, question-answering, summarization, and more complex reasoning tasks.
### Reduced Dependence on Labeled Data
The need for large datasets annotated by humans will decrease, as LLMs can learn from their own outputs and unlabeled data.
### Faster Iterative Improvement
With the ability to self-assess and self-correct, LLMs can iterate through learning cycles more rapidly, accelerating the pace of advancements in AI capabilities.
### Cost-Effectiveness
Reducing reliance on human annotators for training data can lower the costs associated with developing and refining AI models.
### Increased Autonomy
Self-improving LLMs will operate with a higher degree of autonomy, making them more flexible and capable of adapting to new tasks or domains with minimal human intervention.
### Adaptive Learning
These models could adapt to new information or changes in data distribution over time, maintaining or even improving their performance without explicit updates.
### Personalization
LLMs might become better at personalizing content and interactions based on individual user preferences and behaviors, as they learn and evolve through interactions.
## What Are the Limitations of LLMs' Self-Improvement?
### Reliance on Self-Consistency
The self-improvement relies heavily on the model's ability to generate consistent answers through majority voting. If the initial set of generated answers is diverse and lacks a clear consensus, this may lead to suboptimal self-training data.
### Potential for Reinforcing Errors
If the LLM generates incorrect answers with high confidence, these can be mistakenly used for further training, potentially propagating and reinforcing errors.
### Quality of Unlabeled Data
The performance of self-improvement is dependent on the quality of the unlabeled data. If the data contains biases or is not representative of the task, the self-improvement process may be negatively affected.
### Computational Resources
Generating multiple reasoning paths and performing self-consistency checks can be computationally expensive, requiring significant processing power and memory.
### Overfitting to Prompts
There is a risk of the LLM overfitting to specific formats or styles of prompts during the self-improvement process, which could reduce its generalizability to new tasks or datasets.
### Lack of Human Oversight
While self-improvement aims to reduce human involvement, completely removing human oversight may lead to unanticipated consequences, such as the model developing undesirable behaviors or biases.
### Generalization to New Tasks
The self-improvement method may work well for the tasks and datasets it was trained on, but there may be limitations in how well these improvements generalize to entirely new tasks or domains.
### Hyperparameter Sensitivity
The method's effectiveness may be sensitive to the choice of hyperparameters, such as the sampling temperature used during multiple path decoding, which can impact the diversity of generated reasoning paths.
### Limitations of Pre-trained Knowledge
The self-improvement process builds upon the knowledge already present in the pre-trained model. If the pre-trained model has gaps in knowledge or exhibits certain biases, these may persist or even be amplified during self-improvement.
## Are There Any Alternative Ways to Get Better LLM Performances for My Projects?
The simple answer is: **Yes, by using LLM APIs**. [**Novita AI Model APIs**](https://novita.ai/llm-api) allow you to harness the power of differentiated models to enhance your project's performance without the complexities and costs of building and maintaining the technology in-house.

*This is a submission for [DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer](https://dev.to/challenges/cs).*
## Explainer
A regular expression (regex) finds patterns in strings with one character of memory. It has an alphabet & defines a language. The alphabet can be any set of characters, including the empty string. Regexes can be joined, joining the alphabets and languages.
## Additional Context
Because original regular expressions only allowed for one character of memory, there were no look aheads or look behinds.
A language that is defined by a regular expression is called a regular language.
Regular expressions have notations to allow succinct ways of defining them. These notations vary depending on the implementation, but usually have the follow forms:
- `*` - the character or group preceding this must appear at least 0 times.
e.g. `abc*` would match `ab`, `abc`, `abcc`, etc.
- `+` - the character or group preceding this must appear at least once.
e.g. `abc+` would match `abc`, `abcc`, etc.
- `?` - the character or group preceding this must appear at most once.
e.g. `abc?` would match `ab` or `abc`.
- `.` - this matches any character.
e.g. `.` would match `a`, `b`, `c`, etc.
- `[]` - only match the characters inside the square brackets.
e.g. `[hjk]` would match `h`, `j`, or `k`.
- `[^]` - only match the characters not inside the square brackets.
e.g. `[^abc]` would not match `a`, `b`, or `c`, but would match anything else.
- `()` - the string inside the parentheses is a group
e.g. `(abc)` would match `abc` and the regular expression engine would assign that result a group.
- `(|)` - the group can be either what's on the left or what's on the right of the `|`.
e.g. `(abc|def)` would match `abc` or `def`. | mellen |

1,892,227 | “Remote Work” does NOT mean Work from Home. | It means Work from Anywhere. Working from anywhere means exactly as it sounds: “working... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:29:39 | https://dev.to/bmanish/remote-work-does-not-mean-work-from-home-2b72 | webdev, workplace, workfromhome, career | ## _It means Work from Anywhere._
Working from anywhere means exactly as it sounds: _“working from anywhere”_. Its refers to the ability to perform one’s job tasks from any location with internet access, rather than being confined to a traditional office environment. Whether that’s at home, in the office, or even in a third space like a coffee shop, it provides employees with the flexibility to choose where they accomplish their work.
Furthermore, working from anywhere fosters inclusion by removing geographical obstacles and giving chances for people who may not be able to access typical office settings owing to considerations such as geography, mobility difficulties, or family commitments.
However, it is vital to recognize that working from anywhere presents its own set of obstacles, such as preserving work-life boundaries, overcoming feelings of isolation, and ensuring dependable internet access. Nonetheless, it signifies a substantial shift in our attitude to work, with an emphasis on outcomes and productivity rather than physical presence.
To me, “working from anywhere” signifies freedom, flexibility, and efficiency. It means being able to choose where I work based on my personal preferences and circumstances, whether it’s from home, a coffee shop, a co-working space, or while traveling. It also implies being able to balance work and personal life more effectively, as it often allows for greater control over one’s schedule.
## Pros of working from anywhere:
1. **Fexibility:** Employees have the freedom to choose their work environment, which can lead to increased satisfaction and productivity.
2. **Work-life balance:** Working from anywhere allows individuals to better balance their personal and professional responsibilities, reducing stress and improving overall well-being.
3. **Cost savings:** Employees can save money on commuting expenses, work attire, and meals, while employers can reduce overhead costs associated with maintaining physical office spaces.
4. **Access to a diverse talent pool:** Employers can hire the best talent regardless of location, leading to a more diverse and skilled workforce.
5. **Increased productivity:** Many employees find that they are more productive when working from anywhere due to fewer distractions and the ability to create a customized work environment.
Like anything else in the world, the _“work from anywhere”_ option has its pros and cons, which are listed below:
## Cons of working from anywhere:
1. **Communication challenges:** Remote work can lead to communication difficulties as face-to-face interactions are limited, potentially resulting in miscommunication or feelings of isolation.
2. **Lack of social interaction:** Working remotely may lead to feelings of loneliness or isolation as employees miss out on the social aspects of the workplace.
3. **Difficulty unplugging:** Without a physical separation between work and home, some employees may struggle to disconnect from work, leading to burnout and decreased well-being.
4. **Security risks:** Remote work can pose security risks, as employees may access sensitive information from unsecured networks or devices, increasing the risk of data breaches.
5. **Potential for blurred boundaries:** Without clear boundaries between work and home life, some employees may find it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance, leading to stress and dissatisfaction.
## Summary
Remote work encompasses more than just working from home. While it includes home-based work, it also extends to other locations, such as co-working spaces, coffee shops, or any place outside the traditional office. The key feature is the flexibility to choose where work is performed, allowing employees to tailor their environment to their needs and preferences. So, remote work is a broader concept that goes beyond the confines of a home office. | bmanish |

Data Flow:
The frontend sends requests to the backend for data through APIs.
The backend processes these requests, interacts with the database, and sends the required data back to the frontend.
User Actions:
When a user interacts with the frontend (e.g., submitting a form), the frontend sends the data to the backend for processing.
The backend performs the necessary operations (e.g., saving data to the database) and returns a response to the frontend.
Authentication:
The frontend collects user credentials and sends them to the backend for verification.
The backend checks the credentials and responds with an authentication token if valid.
Conclusion
Both frontend and backend development are crucial for creating functional, user-friendly web applications. While frontend development focuses on the user interface and experience, backend development handles the server, database, and application logic. Understanding the differences and how they work together can help developers build more efficient and robust web applications.
By mastering both aspects or specializing in one, developers can contribute significantly to the creation of high-quality web applications that offer great user experiences and robust functionality. | alexroor4 |

1,892,223 | DAOs in Gaming: A New Governance Model | The gaming industry is on the verge of a revolutionary period driven by rapid technological... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:28:09 | https://dev.to/donnajohnson88/daos-in-gaming-a-new-governance-model-53h0 | blockchain, gamedev, daos, learning | The gaming industry is on the verge of a revolutionary period driven by rapid technological advancements. Among the most promising [blockchain solutions](https://blockchain.oodles.io/blockchain-solutions-development/?utm_source=devto) is the emergence of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). These blockchain-based entities are poised to revolutionize games’ development, management, and gameplay by introducing a new, decentralized governance model. By harnessing the power of blockchain and smart contracts, DAOs empower players, promote transparency, and foster a more democratic and inclusive gaming ecosystem.
## What are DAOs?
DAOs, or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, are a novel type of organization that operates without centralized control. Governed by smart contracts on a blockchain, DAOs enable participants to make decisions collectively. DAOs are different from traditional hierarchical organizations. They spread authority across their members. They often use a token-based voting system. This decentralized structure ensures that decisions are transparent, democratic, and resistant to censorship or manipulation.
In essence, DAOs function through predefined rules encoded in smart contracts. These contracts automate decision-making processes, enforce rules, and execute agreed-upon actions. Members of a DAO typically hold tokens that grant them voting rights, allowing them to propose, vote on, and implement changes. This model fosters a high degree of community involvement and ensures that the organization operates aligned with its members’ collective will.
## The Need For Decentralized Game Governance with DAOs
Traditional game governance is predominantly centralized, with a small group of developers or executives holding the reins. While this model has worked for decades, it has drawbacks. Centralized governance can lead to a need for more transparency. It slows down responses to player feedback and can lead to decisions that may not align with the broader player community’s interests. This centralized approach can stifle innovation and create disconnects between developers and their player bases.
Enter DAOs. By decentralizing governance, DAOs address these issues head-on. They enable a more democratic and responsive approach to game development and management. In a DAO-governed game, players have a direct say in how the game evolves. It increases transparency and accountability and ensures the game develops in ways that resonate with its most dedicated players.
## What do DAOs offer in Gaming?
DAOs bring several key benefits to the gaming world, fundamentally changing how game developers, managers, and players experience and develop games.
**Player Empowerment**
DAOs provide players with a direct voice in the development process. Players can propose changes, vote on game updates, and influence key decisions. This empowerment ensures that the game evolves according to the community’s preferences and needs.
**Transparency**
One of the core principles of DAOs is transparency. The blockchain records all decisions, transactions, and actions, creating an immutable and transparent history. This transparency builds trust among players and ensures that governance processes are fair and open.
**Incentive Alignment**
DAOs align the incentives of players and developers. Players can get tokens as a reward for contributing to the game’s ecosystem. They may participate in the community, create content, or play games. To encourage players to devote time and energy to the game’s development, these tokens frequently provide voting rights and a portion of the game’s profits.
**Community Building**
DAOs foster strong communities by bringing together players who share a common interest in the game’s success. Player involvement in governance and decision-making strengthens the bond between players. It also creates a more dedicated and engaged player base.
**Decentralized Ownership**
In many DAO-governed games, players can own a stake through tokens. This decentralized ownership model democratizes access to the game’s financial success and encourages long-term commitment from players.
## How do Gaming DAOs work?
Gaming DAOs typically have several vital steps. Blockchain and smart contracts make these steps possible.
**Token Distribution or Tokenomics**
Players acquire tokens through various means, such as gameplay, purchases, or contributions to the community. These tokens represent voting power within the DAO and can also have other utility functions within the game.
**Proposal Creation**
Any member of the DAO can create proposals for changes or new features. Community members submit proposals for consideration and discussion. They make sure that they evaluate ideas together.
**Voting**
Token holders vote on proposals. Voting power is usually proportional to the number of tokens held, allowing players with a greater stake in the game to have a more significant influence. This process ensures that decisions reflect the collective will of the community.
**Implementation**
Once the development team or automated smart contracts approve a proposal, they implement it. This step ensures that the game aligns with the community’s preferences and makes changes transparently and efficiently.
**Rewards and Incentives**
Players who actively participate in governance or contribute to the game’s development can earn additional tokens. These rewards incentivize continuous engagement and contribution, creating a positive feedback loop that benefits the entire game ecosystem.
## Final Thoughts: DAOs Changing the Gaming World
Integrating DAOs into gaming signifies a paradigm shift in governing and developing games. This new governance model aligns the interests of developers and players. It fosters stronger communities and encourages continuous innovation and engagement.
A more dynamic and player-driven development environment is what we should anticipate. In the future, DAOs will spearhead the exciting shift towards decentralised gaming governance.

With over 20 years of experience in creating digital experiences, we have seen our tools evolve over the decades. We find building high-performing web applications incredibly satisfying with the current tools at our disposal.
In particular, Next.js, a JavaScript framework from the creators of Vercel has been a favourite. After shipping a few projects using Next.js, including for Jagex and WRAP, we decided to partner with Vercel to show how much we value their view of building modern web apps. Let me walk you through what we love about building with Next.js and Vercel.
**_Choosing the right tools_**
When considering to (re-)build web applications for our clients, we take certain considerations into mind. We only suggest tools and stacks that we fully believe in and have tested thoroughly ourselves.
Developer experience is key, for our own people and also to ensure that future developers can have an enjoyable experience maintaining applications for our clients. In the last 8+ years, we mostly opted for React, the popular JavaScript framework, due to its popularity amongst talented developers and great community support. React has been great to build solid single-page client-side applications with a seamless experience for users.
Working with pure React in its early days presented several challenges, however. Client-side rendering (CSR) often resulted in slower initial page loads (often caused by slow server-client network waterfalls) and limited SEO options due to the lack of pre-rendered content. Data fetching required manual implementation, leading to boilerplate code and potential performance bottlenecks. Additionally, the absence of a built-in router necessitated the use of third-party libraries, adding complexity to the development process.
However, the emergence of modern frameworks like Next.js has revolutionised React development by introducing Server Components. These components pre-render on the server, significantly improving initial load times and SEO. Next.js also offers built-in data fetching capabilities and a robust routing system, streamlining the development process and enhancing the overall user experience. This shift towards server-rendered components addresses many of the historical pain points associated with pure React and paved the way for a more performant and developer-friendly web development experience.
**_Next.js_**
Next.js is a powerful and versatile framework that offers compelling reasons to choose it for developing modern web applications. One of its key advantages is its built-in support for server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG), enabling faster page loads and improved performance. This not only enhances the user experience but also contributes to better SEO results. Next.js integrates nicely with React, which means a familiar and efficient development experience for React developers. Its automatic code-splitting feature optimises the application’s bundle size, ensuring that only necessary code is loaded, resulting in faster load times. The framework also comes with an intuitive file-based routing system, simplifying the organisation of code and making navigation more straightforward. Additionally, Next.js supports a wide range of data-fetching strategies, including server-side data fetching and incremental static regeneration, offering flexibility in handling dynamic content.
**_Vercel_**
As a platform for deploying your web application, Vercel streamlines web development by automating deployments and continuously integrating code changes. In its core functionality, it is similar to other platforms like Netlify and Heroku, however, it comes with seamless integration and optimization specifically for Next.js apps and a global edge network to deliver content with low latency worldwide.
Vercel offers zero-configuration deployment for Next.js apps and provides support for serverless functions and HTTPS certificate handling. You can also bundle and ship Next.js applications to the provider of your choice but with additional integration and configuration effort. For us the simplicity and convenience outweigh the potential greater flexibility you can have with self-hosting. Depending on your personal setup or company restrictions this might differ of course.
With its automatic deployment and continuous integration features, Vercel ensures that updates are deployed whenever changes are pushed to the repository, streamlining the development workflow. When integrated with GitHub, every Pull Request gets its dedicated preview environment which makes viewing changes, especially for non-technical roles in our teams much easier.
Vercel’s collaboration features make it easier for development teams to work together, and I personally like the comment feature for preview deployments which easily allowed one of my designer colleagues to leave feedback directly on the page for me to investigate. In addition, the integration with popular version control systems like Git and support for environment variables enhance the platform’s flexibility and security.
One of Vercel’s unique selling points lies in its global edge network, an integrated Content Delivery Network (CDN) that caches content in strategic locations. This ensures content gets delivered with reduced load times, regardless of the user’s location. Especially when working with clients that have a global user base this offers a cost-effective solution instead of configuring a separate CDN.
An exciting future ahead
The team around Guillermo Rauch (CEO of Vercel) is constantly working on expanding Vercel, and there are some recently released or announced features that we are particularly excited about:
1. AI SDK: An open-source library to build conversational streaming user interfaces using existing components from your applications
2. Partial Pre-rendering: This feature combines the benefits of fast static rendering and personalised dynamic rendering. It allows users to pre-render only the parts of the page that need to be personalised, while the rest of the page is statically rendered.
3. DX Platform: The new DX platform with monorepo support, code owners, and conformance provides security at a glance and health reporting in one view. It allows users to manage their projects more efficiently and securely.
4. v0.dev: Vercel’s GenAI website builder that allows you to generate entire web interfaces including React component trees via single prompts.
5. Draft Mode: This feature enables cross-discipline collaboration by allowing users to comment and edit content in preview builds. It is a great way to get feedback from team members and stakeholders before publishing the content.

Inbound/Outbound Marketing– Outbound marketing involves reaching out to prospective customers in order to motivate them to purchase your product. On the other hand, inbound marketing involves creating and sharing content that draws people into your website.
Keyword Research-Keywords, also referred to as search terms, are the words typed into database search boxes. These key concepts of your research topic must be captured here in words that you use everyday in conversation to describe it. Without correct keywords, it may not be possible to locate articles relevant to your search.
Digital Marketing Strategy-Experts define digital strategy as the use of internet resources to reach target customers. A successful digital marketing plan begins by understanding your company’s profit margins. This helps create a marketing plan that is in tune with customer demands and business objectives.
Online Marketing Tools-Marketing tools are instruments used by marketing professionals to promote and create products and services. The term can refer to strategies, techniques, materials as well. Email marketing, targeting, research on the market, collecting data, and advertising are all popular among most companies.
SEO – Search Engine Optimization-Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing website traffic from search engines. Unpaid clicks can come from many sources, such as image, video, academic, news and vertical search engines.
SEO (search engine optimization) is an internet marketing strategy that takes into account search engines and the computer-programmed algorithms which govern them. It also considers what search terms people use, keywords they type into search engines, as well as which one they prefer. Websites ranking higher on SERPs will receive more visitors; these visitors could then be converted into customers.
PPC – Pay per Click or Search Engine Marketing-PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising is an ad model where advertisers place ads on an advertisement platform and pay the platform host when an ad clicks.
The purpose of an advertisement is to direct users to the advertiser’s website or mobile app, where they can take an advantageous action such as purchasing a product.
Search engines are a prime opportunity for advertisers to display ads that are pertinent to users’ searches
Advertising services like Google Ads or Microsoft Ads employ real-time bidding (RTB). This enables advertising inventory to be sold privately via automated auction using actual data.
Email Marketing – Email marketing is the practice of sending commercial messages via postal mail to a group. This could include emails that advertise products or services, solicit business, or ask for donations. Generally, email campaigns aim to accomplish one or more primary objectives: build trust, increase brand awareness, encourage loyalty among current or past customers, boost impulse buying behavior and share third party ads.
SMM- Social Media Marketing-Social media marketing (SMM) is an internet strategy that utilizes social networking apps as a promotional tool. Through these platforms, brands can build a following, boost sales, drive website traffic and more with these social networks.
Digital Display Marketing-Digital display advertising is an online form that enables company promotional messages to appear on third-party websites or search engine result pages, such as publishers and social networks.
Mobile marketing-Mobile marketing is any advertisement that promotes products or services through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. This makes use of advanced mobile technology like location services in order to customize marketing campaigns according to an individual’s location
Website automation-Website automation is a method to automate web activities such as filling out forms, clicking buttons and downloading files by sending them off to software robots. While the internet can make business simpler and faster in many ways, it also tends to take more time with less predictability when something goes awry.
Website Analytics–Web analytics is the collection and analysis of website data to identify measures that reflect organizational and user objectives. With this knowledge, websites can be evaluated for success or failure, drive strategy development, and enhance user experience.
Growth Hacking-Growth hacking entails testing out different strategies, analyzing “small” data points, and then iterating. You can share your posts on social media and analyze clickthrough rates to assess whether they are increasing traffic.
How can I measure the success of my digital campaign?
Metrics like click-through rates, conversion rate and return of investment (ROI) can be used to gauge the success or failure of digital marketing campaigns. Before launching any campaigns, it's essential to set clear objectives and measure results to see if those objectives have been achieved.
If you don't take notice of your followers, posting about your ecommerce business on social media won't yield any rewards. To learn more, check out our blog Tracking ROI on Social Media for more insight. | growdigitech_d693e2c583cb | |

Two popular programming languages have been gaining traction among developers: [Go and Rust](https://bluebirdinternational.com/go-vs-rust/).
If you’re a tech enthusiast wanting to stay updated on the latest trends, deciding which language suits your needs best is crucial. Both Go and Rust offer unique advantages and disadvantages.
## **Introduction to Go and Rust**
**Go**, also known as Golang, is an open-source programming language developed by Google in 2009. It focuses on simplicity, reliability, and efficiency, gaining popularity for its built-in concurrency support and fast compilation times.
**Rust**, developed by Mozilla in 2010, is a relatively new systems programming language. It prioritizes safety, concurrency, and speed, providing low-level control over system resources. Rust’s memory safety guarantees and support for zero-cost abstractions make it a popular choice for systems-level programming and performance-critical applications.
## Go vs Rust’s Syntax and Language Features
Understanding the syntax and language features of programming languages is crucial for building efficient and reliable software.
**Similarities:**
Both have a clean and straightforward syntax.

Both languages support functions, structs, and interfaces.
**Differences:**
## Concurrency and Parallelism in Go vs Rust
Concurrency and parallelism are critical in modern software development. Both Go and Rust facilitate concurrent and parallel programming, but with different approaches.
**Concurrency:**
Go: Achieved through goroutines and channels. Goroutines are lightweight threads that execute functions concurrently.
Rust: Uses the async/await model for concurrency, ensuring thread safety with its ownership and borrowing system.
**Parallelism:**
Go: Goroutines are executed in parallel across multiple processors, automatically scheduled by the Go runtime.
Rust: Uses threads with the “std::thread” module for parallel execution, ensuring thread safety with the ownership system.
## Performance and Efficiency: Go vs Rust
Performance and efficiency are paramount concerns for developers.
## Is there support?
**Ecosystem:**
Go: Well-developed with a wide range of tools and packages, such as net/http, go-sqlite3, and gin-gonic/gin.

In the last post we have talked about about some pre-defined objects in JavaScript. In this post we are going to know about Math library, RegEx and destructuring.
So let's get started🔥
## JavaScript Math Object
The JavaScript Math object allows you to perform mathematical tasks on numbers.
Note that JavaScript Math object is static i.e. we don't need to create the math object first to get access to Math's properties and methods.
**Math Properties**
**Math Methods**
1. Math.round(n) -> returns the nearest integer.
2. Math.random() -> returns a random number between 0 (inclusive), and 1 (exclusive).
3. Math.floor(n) -> returns the value of number rounded down to its nearest integer.
4. Math.ceil(n) -> returns the value of number rounded up to its nearest integer.
5. Math.trunc(n) -> returns the integer part of number.
6. Math.min(a,b,c,d) -> return the minimum number among given numbers.
7. Math.max(a,b,c,d) -> return the maximum number among given numbers.
8. Math.pow(a,b) -> return a raised to power b.
9. Math.sqrt(a) -> return the square root of a number.
10. Math.abs(a) -> return the absolute value of given number.
11. Math.sign(a) -> return 1 if number is positive, -1 if negative and 0 in other cases.
12. Math.log(a) -> returns the natural logarithm of number. We have Math.log2() and Math.log10() which have base 2 and base 10 successively.
These are some of the main methods. Apart from these methods we have methods for trignometric and inverse trignometric functions and exponential function as well.
## RegExp in JavaScript
RegExp stands for Regular Expressions. A regular expression is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. When you search for data in a text, you can use this search pattern to describe what you are searching for.
A regular expression seems like ->
/pattern/modifiers
Pattern is what you need to search in your text and modifiers are the operations that you want to perform on your text.
Example -:
So here you can see that the pattern is "AR" and "i" is modifier that stands for case insensitive. The output is starting index of pattern that is 14.
Similarly we can perform replace operation on text by using `text.replace()`.
**RegExp Modifiers**
There are some more methods in RegExp such as `exec()` and `test()` methods which are used to search pattern in a string. The above ones are important.
## Destructuring in JavaScript
The destructuring assignment syntax unpack object properties into variables.
We can peform destructuring on any object whether it is an array or string.
Destructuring is very important concept of JavaScript.
Let's see some of the examples-:
So this was it for this blog. I hope you have understood it well. In the later blogs we are going to see some more important concepts of JavaScript. Till then stay connected and don't forget to follow me.
Thankyou 🩵 | akshat0610 |
1,892,213 | Copying Arrays and Objects in JavaScript Without References | Comprehensive Guide to Copying Arrays and Objects in JavaScript Without References In... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:21:22 | https://www.reddit.com/r/DevArt/comments/1djgy2u/copying_arrays_and_objects_in_javascript_without/ | javascript, array, object | ### Comprehensive Guide to Copying Arrays and Objects in JavaScript Without References
In JavaScript, copying arrays and objects can be tricky due to the nature of references. When you assign an array or object to a new variable, you're actually assigning a reference to the original data, not a copy. This means that changes to the new variable affect the original data. To avoid this, you need to create a true copy of the array or object. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this using various methods.
{% youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QlLpaLeoYI %}
#### Copying Arrays
##### 1. **Using the Spread Operator**
The spread operator (`...`) is a concise way to create a shallow copy of an array.
```javascript
const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const copiedArray = [...originalArray];
```
##### 2. **Using `Array.prototype.slice`**
The `slice` method can be used to create a shallow copy of an array.
```javascript
const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const copiedArray = originalArray.slice();
```
##### 3. **Using `Array.from`**
The `Array.from` method creates a new, shallow-copied array from an array-like or iterable object.
```javascript
const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const copiedArray = Array.from(originalArray);
```
##### 4. **Using `concat` Method**
Using the `concat` method with an empty array also creates a shallow copy.
```javascript
const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const copiedArray = [].concat(originalArray);
```
##### 5. **Using `structuredClone` Method**
The `structuredClone` method creates a deep copy of arrays, handling complex structures.
```javascript
const originalArray = [1, 2, 3, [4, 5]];
const copiedArray = structuredClone(originalArray);
```
For more details, refer to the [MDN documentation on `structuredClone`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone).
#### Copying Objects
##### 1. **Using the Spread Operator**
The spread operator can also be used to create a shallow copy of an object.
```javascript
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: 2 };
const copiedObject = { ...originalObject };
```
##### 2. **Using `Object.assign`**
The `Object.assign` method copies all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object.
```javascript
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: 2 };
const copiedObject = Object.assign({}, originalObject);
```
##### 3. **Using `JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringify`**
For a deep copy, where nested objects and arrays are also copied, you can use `JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringify`. This method does not work well with functions and undefined values.
```javascript
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copiedObject = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(originalObject));
```
##### 4. **Using `structuredClone` Method**
The `structuredClone` method creates a deep copy of objects, supporting nested structures and circular references.
```javascript
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copiedObject = structuredClone(originalObject);
```
For more details, refer to the [MDN documentation on `structuredClone`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone).
### Deep Copying with Custom Functions
For more complex objects, including those with nested structures, dates, and functions, you might need a custom deep copy function.
##### 1. **Recursive Function for Deep Copy**
Here's a basic recursive function to perform a deep copy of an object.
```javascript
function deepCopy(obj) {
if (obj === null || typeof obj !== 'object') return obj;
if (Array.isArray(obj)) {
const arrCopy = [];
for (let i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
arrCopy[i] = deepCopy(obj[i]);
}
return arrCopy;
}
const objCopy = {};
for (const key in obj) {
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
objCopy[key] = deepCopy(obj[key]);
}
}
return objCopy;
}
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copiedObject = deepCopy(originalObject);
```
### Libraries for Deep Copying
Several libraries provide robust and efficient deep copy functionality, handling edge cases and complex data structures.
##### 1. **Lodash**
Lodash is a popular utility library that includes a `cloneDeep` function for deep copying.
```javascript
const _ = require('lodash');
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copiedObject = _.cloneDeep(originalObject);
```
##### 2. **DeepClone**
The `deepClone` library is specifically designed for deep copying objects.
```javascript
const deepClone = require('deepClone');
const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copiedObject = deepClone(originalObject);
```
### Conclusion
Copying arrays and objects in JavaScript without maintaining references is crucial for preventing unintended side effects. For simple, shallow copies, the spread operator and methods like `slice`, `Array.from`, and `Object.assign` are effective. For deep copies, `structuredClone` provides a modern and robust solution, while `JSON.parse` with `JSON.stringify` works for many cases. Custom functions or libraries like Lodash may be necessary for complex structures. By understanding and using these methods, you can ensure your data manipulation is both efficient and safe.

Data structure is one of unavoidable challenges when applying the software engineer role. I studied basic data structures and wrote down an article in JavaScript before.
However, it’s hard to apply data structures to design a system or solve the real problem.

## Reusable Workflows
Some of you may have noticed a few changes to our modules lately.
Thanks to a lot of good work put in by [Craig](https://github.com/chelnak) and [Jordan](https://github.com/jordanbreen28), we will soon have reusable workflows rolled out across all of our modules simplifying the test process and helping to prevent any issues from slipping through.
As part of this they have also removed Honeycomb from the workflows, so for anyone who has gotten headaches in the past trying to read through the workflow output (i.e. [Me](https://github.com/david22swan)), look forward to having a much easier time of it in the future.
## Puppet 6 is on the way out! Here Comes Puppet 8!!
Some more good news is that with the release of Puppet 8 quickly approaching, we will be officialy dropping support for Puppet 6 from all of our modules and adding support for Puppet 8 in it’s place.
As part of this process we will be rolling out several other improvements to our modules, helping to ensure that they are in as good of a quality as they can be.
### Support for Ruby 3.2
As part of this we will be supporting Ruby versions up to 3.2 with testing already underway to ensure that there are no issues and that everything is working as it should following the removal of puppet-module-gems.
Just as a note to anyone who is still using this, you can expect it to be archived in the near future, so you should work quickly to remove it from your modules.
### Rubocop Bumped to 2.48.1
Alongside our work to add support we will also be rolling out a new version of Rubocop on all of our Modules, with the pin being set to the newest released version.
This work will include a new commitment to keeping the rubocop version up to date with the most current releases, with a regular check scheduled to ensure that we do not fall so far behind again in the future.

[DataTables](https://datatables.net/) is a popular jQuery plugin that offers features like pagination, searching, and sorting, making it easy to handle large datasets. This article will show you how to create a Laravel API to work with the DataTables. What are the parameters that DataTables sends to our API and the requirements of the data that DataTables needs.
To deal with DataTables you need to know the information that DataTables will send to the API through the query string.
```ini
draw = 1
columns[0][data] = id
columns[0][name] =
columns[0][searchable] = true
columns[0][orderable] = true
columns[0][search][value] =
columns[0][search][regex] = false
columns[1][data] = name
columns[1][name] =
columns[1][searchable] = true
columns[1][orderable] = true
columns[1][search][value] =
columns[1][search][regex] = false
columns[2][data] = price
columns[2][name] =
columns[2][searchable] = true
columns[2][orderable] = true
columns[2][search][value] =
columns[2][search][regex] = false
order[0][column] = 0
order[0][dir] = asc
order[0][name] =
start = 0
length = 10
search[value] =
search[regex] = false
```
- `draw` the request ID that is used to synchronize between the client and server.
- `columns[x][data]` the column's field name that we define on the client-side.
- `order[0]` the sorting information.
- `start` the start index of the record. We do not use it, because Laravel pagination use a page index instead. We will write some JavaScript to generate this page index later.
- `length` the length per page (page size).
- `search[value]` the search value information.
The DataTables expected data will require these information.
- `draw` DataTables sends this ID to us, and we just send it back.
- `recordsTotal` Total records number before filtering.
- `recordsFiltered` Total records number after filtering.
- `data` The records data.
## Prerequisites
- Composer
- PHP 8.2
- MySQL
## Setup project
Create a new laravel project.
```batchfile
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel_api 11.0.3
```
Create a testing database named "example" and run the [database.sql](https://github.com/stackpuz/Example-DataTables-Laravel-11/blob/main/database.sql) file to import the table and data.
## Project structure
```
├─ .env
├─ app
│ ├─ Http
│ │ └─ Controllers
│ │ └─ ProductController.php
│ └─ Models
│ └─ Product.php
├─ bootstrap
│ └─ app.php
├─ resources
│ └─ views
│ └─ index.php
└─ routes
├─ api.php
└─ web.php
```
\*This project structure will show only files and folders that we intend to create or modify.
## Project files
### .env
This file is the Laravel configuration file and we use it to keep the database connection information.
```ini
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=example
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
SESSION_DRIVER=file
```
We also set `SESSION_DRIVER=file` to change the session driver from database to file.
### app.php
This file is the Laravel application configuration file, and we only added the API routing file here.
```php
<?php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
return Application::configure(basePath: dirname( __DIR__ ))
->withRouting(
web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
health: '/up',
)
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
//
})
->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
//
})->create();
```
### web.php
This file defines the route URL for the Laravel web application. We just changed the default file from welcome.php to index.php.
```php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('index');
});
```
### api.php
This file defines the route URL for the Laravel API. We define our API route here.
```php
<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;
Route::get('/products', [ProductController::class, 'index']);
```
### Product.php
This file defines the model information that maps to our database table named "Product".
```php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Product extends Model
{
protected $table = 'Product';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
}
```
\*To keep the code simple, we define only a few pieces of information here. This is enough for our API.
### ProductController.php
This file is used to handle incoming requests from DataTables and produce the appropriate data for them.
```php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Product;
class ProductController {
public function index()
{
$size = request()->input('length') ?? 10;
$order = request()->input('order') ? request()->input('columns')[request()->input('order')[0]['column']]['data'] : 'id';
$direction = request()->input('order') ? request()->input('order')[0]['dir'] : 'asc';
$search = request()->input('search')['value'];
$query = Product::query()
->select('id', 'name', 'price')
->orderBy($order, $direction);
$recordsTotal = $query->count();
if ($search) {
$query->where('name', 'like', "%$search%");
}
$paginate = $query->paginate($size);
return ['draw' => request()->input('draw'), 'recordsTotal' => $recordsTotal, 'recordsFiltered' => $paginate->total(), 'data' => $paginate->items()];
}
}
```
- We utilize the query string to get `$size, $order, $direction, $search` and create the paginated data by using the `paginate($size)` method.
- We return all DataTables required information including: `draw, recordsTotal, recordsFiltered, data` as object.
### index.php
This file will be used to define the DataTables HTML and JavaScript to consume our API.
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.0.7/css/dataTables.dataTables.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<table id="table" class="display">
<thead>
<td>id</td>
<th>name</th>
<th>price</th>
</thead>
</table>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.0.7/js/dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script>
var dataTable = new DataTable('#table', {
ajax: {
url: '/api/products',
data: {
page: () => (dataTable && dataTable.page() + 1) || 1
}
},
processing: true,
serverSide: true,
columns: [
{ data: 'id' },
{ data: 'name' },
{ data: 'price' }
]
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
- `processing` show a loading indicator when making the request.
- `serverSide` makes the request to the server (API) for all operations.
- As mentioned earlier, Laravel can't utilize the `start` query string, so we need to write some JavaScript to generate the `page` query string here.
## Run project
```
php artisan serve
```
Open the web browser and goto http://localhost:8000
You will find this test page.
## Testing
### Page size test
Change page size by selecting 25 from the "entries per page" drop-down. You will get 25 records per page, and the last page will change from 10 to 4.
### Sorting test
Click on the header of the first column. You will see that the id column will be sorted in descending order.
### Search test
Enter "no" in the search text-box, and you will see the filtered result data.
## Conclusion
In this article, you have learned how to create a Laravel API to work with the DataTables. Understand all the DataTables parameters sent to the API and utilize them to produce the appropriate data and send it back. You also learn how to setup the DataTables on the client-side using HTML and JavaScript. I hope this article will help you, when you want to use the DataTables in your project.

1,892,049 | Java OOP, in a Nutshell | This blog is about the implementation and working of various object oriented programming concepts in... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:10:55 | https://dev.to/vasdev/java-oop-in-a-nutshell-1ne0 | java, programming, oop | This blog is about the implementation and working of various object oriented programming concepts in Java. If you want a quick overview or recap, then this blog is for you!
Firstly, lets quickly understand the core concepts of OOP:
## Encapsulation
**Definition :** The action of enclosing something in or as if in a <u>capsule</u>. (*Oxford*)
In programming, encapsulation ensures that the user has limited access to the application data, that too via methods defined inside the application.
Everytime, we encapsulate the data, we define **getters** and **setters** to retrieve and assign the values of variables that holds the data, respectively.
The encapsulation of variables and methods in java is achieved with the help of access modifiers. Here are a few of them:
- `public` : These methods can be accessed from anywhere, from any file.
- `private` : These methods can only be accessed from within the class. Useful for _encapsulation_ of data.
- `protected` : These methods can be accessed only from within the class and its subclasses. Applies only when **inheritence** in involved in the program
Now, lets create a simple program, step by step to understand encapsulation!
**Step-1:** Create a empty public class <u>_Person_</u>
```
public class Person {
// code will go here
}
```
**Step-2:** Declare data members <u>_name_ </u>of type <u>_string_</u>, and <u>_age_ </u>of type <u>_int_ </u>. Make sure the access modifier of these data members should be `private` as we dont want users to access them directly.
```
public class Person {
private String name; // name of the person
private int age; // age of the person
}
```
**Step-3:** Now, we have variables to hold name and age of a person, but since user cant directly access them, we need to define methods to set the values of these variables. These methods are called _setters_.
```
// setters
// sets the name of the person
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
// sets the age of the person
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
```
**Step-4:** After defining setters, we need to define some more methods which will help the users to retrieve the encapsulated data, these methods are called _getters_.
```
// getters
// returns the name of the person
public String getName() {
return name;
}
// returns the age of the person
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
```
You are all set! In just 4 steps, you have implemented encapsulation.
Now, you can create an object of this class in a driver class (Main class) and retrieve/assign the values to the variables without directly accessing them like this :
```
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Person person = new Person(); // creating an instance
// setting person's name and age
person.setName("Robert");
person.setAge("29");
// getting person's name and age
person.getName();
person.getAge();
}
}
```
## Inheritance
**Definition :** When a class (sub/child class) derives properties (data members) and behaviors (class methods) from another class (super/parent class), enabling code reuse and extension.
To inherit the properties and behaviors of a super class, we use `extends` keyword in java
Implementing inheritance with an example:
**Step-1** : Create a super class <u>_Animal_</u> with a method <u>_eat()_</u>, since every animal eats.
```
// base/super/parent class
class Animal {
void eat() {
System.out.println("This animal eats food.");
}
}
```
**Step-2** : Create a sub class <u>_Dog_</u> inheriting <u>_Animal_</u> class with a method <u>_bark()_</u>, since dog is the animal that barks.
```
// Derived/sub/child class
class Dog extends Animal {
void bark() {
System.out.println("The dog barks.");
}
}
```
**Step-3** : Create an instance of <u>_Dog_</u> class in driver class, and call the methods of both classes.
```
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Dog myDog = new Dog();
myDog.eat(); // Inherited method
myDog.bark(); // Method specific to Dog
}
}
```
Congrats, you have successfully implemented simple Inheritance in Java! Similarly, we can implement <u>multilevel</u>, <u>hierarchical </u>and <u>hybrid</u> inheritance also.
> Note : Java doesn't explicitly support multiple inheritance, to implement it, we define abstract methods in interface/s.
## Polymorphism
The word polymorphism is derived from Greek and means "having multiple forms."
**Definition :** the ability of a method to operate on different types of objects, allowing for different behaviors based on the object's actual class.
We use method overloading and method overriding to achieve polymorphism in java. Here's the implementation:
**Step-1** : Take the above super class <u>_Animal_</u> and define a method <u>_makeSound()_</u> in it.
```
// base class
class Animal {
void eat() {
System.out.println("This animal eats food.");
}
void makeSound() { // Method to be overridden
System.out.println("Some sound of the animal");
}
}
```
**Step-2** : Write another <u>_makeSound()_</u> but, with parameter _sound_ of type _string_. (i.e., _makeSound( String sound )_). This is known as **Method Overloading**
```
// base class
class Animal {
void makeSound() { // Method to be overridden
System.out.println("Some sound");
}
void makeSound(String sound) { // Overloaded method
System.out.println(sound);
}
}
```
**Step-3** : Create a derived class <u>_Cat_</u>, inheriting <u>_Animal_</u>
```
// derived class
class Cat extends Animal {
// method overriding goes here
}
```
**Step-4** : Rewrite the <u>_makeSound()_</u> method with cat specific sound. This is known as **Method Overriding**
```
// Derived class
class Cat extends Animal {
@Override // just a convention, not necessary to write
void makeSound() { // Overriding method
System.out.println("Meow");
}
}
```
**Step-5** : Create a _Cat_ object in driver class, and run the overridden and overloaded methods.
```
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal myAnimal = new Cat(); // A Cat object of type Animal
myAnimal.makeSound(); // Calls overridden method, outputs "Meow"
myAnimal.makeSound("Growl"); // Calls overloaded method, outputs "Growl"
}
}
```
We have implemented polymorphism in just 5 steps!
## Abstraction
**Definiton :** The process of hiding complex implementation details and exposing only the essential features of an object or system.
Abstraction in Java is achieved with the help of :
- **_Abstract Classes :_** A superclass that defines generalized structure without actual implmentation of methods. It is achiever with the help of `abstract` keyword, used as both, class and method specifier. It can have non-abstract methods as well.
- **_Interfaces :_** An interface is a class blueprint that only includes <u>static</u> and <u>final</u> methods and variables. It can only contains abstract methods
Here's a simple implementation of Abstraction in Java :
**Step-1** : Create an abstract superclass <u>_Vehicle_</u> with an abstract method <u>_startEngine()_</u>.
```
public abstract class Vehicle {
public abstract void startEngine();
}
```
**Step-2** : Create its subclass <u>_Car_</u> and override the <u>_startEngine()_</u> method with car specific content.
```
public class Car extends Vehicle {
@Override
public void startEngine() {
System.out.println("Car engine started");
}
}
```
**Step-3** : Create an interface <u>_flyable_</u> with method <u>_fly()_</u>.
```
public interface Flyable {
void fly();
}
```
**Step-4** : Create another subclass of <u>_Vehicle_</u> named <u>_Airplane_</u> that also implements the <u>_flyable_</u> interface.
```
public class Airplane extends Vehicle implements Flyable {
// overriding of methods goes here
}
```
**Step-5** : Override <u>_startEngine()_</u> and <u>_fly()_</u> methods with airplane specific content.
```
public class Airplane extends Vehicle implements Flyable {
@Override // overriding abstract class method
public void startEngine() {
System.out.println("Airplane engine started");
}
@Override // overriding interface method
public void fly() {
System.out.println("Airplane is flying");
}
}
```
**Step-6** : Create a _Car_ and a _Airplane_object in driver class, and run the overridden methods.
```
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Vehicle car = new Car();
car.startEngine(); // Output: Car engine started
Airplane airplane = new Airplane();
airplane.startEngine(); // Output: Airplane engine started
airplane.fly(); // Output: Airplane is flying
}
}
```
We have successfully implemented Abstraction in Java with the help of Abstract classes and Interfaces!
In this blog, we have explored and successfully implemented all fundamental Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. From encapsulation and inheritance to polymorphism and abstraction, these concepts are key to building robust and maintainable software solutions. Thanks for reading..! | vasdev |
1,892,157 | MySQL to GBase 8c Migration Guide | This article provides a quick guide for migrating application systems based on MySQL databases to... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:05:56 | https://dev.to/gbasedatbase/mysql-to-gbase-8c-migration-guide-2o36 | database, mysql, gbasedatabase | This article provides a quick guide for migrating application systems based on MySQL databases to GBase databases (GBase 8c). For detailed information about specific aspects of both databases, readers can refer to the MySQL official documentation (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/) and the GBase 8c user manual. Due to the extensive content involved in basic mapping of MySQL data types and other aspects of the migration process, this will not be covered in detail in this article. If interested, please leave a comment, and we can discuss it next time.
## 1. Creating a Database
In both MySQL and GBase 8c, the `CREATE DATABASE` statement is used to create a database. The specific syntax differences are as follows:
| Operation | MySQL SQL Statement | GBase 8c SQL Statement |
|-------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------|
|**CREATE DATABASE**|`CREATE DATABASE example CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;`|`CREATE DATABASE example OWNER gbase ENCODING ‘UTF8’ LC_COLLATE 'en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.UTF-8';`|
Considerations for Migrating SQL Statements for Creating Databases:
**(1) In both MySQL and GBase 8c, you can specify the character set and collation rules when creating a database.**
Unlike MySQL, in GBase 8c, the `ENCODING` keyword is used to specify the character set, and the `LC_COLLATE` and `LC_CTYPE` keywords are used to specify collation rules:
-
`LC_COLLATE`: This parameter affects the sorting order of strings (e.g., when using ORDER BY, as well as the order of indexes on text columns).
-
`LC_CTYPE`: This parameter affects character classification, such as uppercase, lowercase, and digits.
**(2) When creating a database in GBase 8c, you can also specify unique additional attributes. Common attributes include:**
-
`OWNER`: This parameter specifies the owner of the database. If not specified, the owner defaults to the current user.
-
`CONNECTION LIMIT`: This parameter specifies the number of concurrent connections the database can accept. System administrators are not subject to this limit.
**(3) Database Structure**
In MySQL, database and schema are synonymous, and databases can reference each other. In GBase 8c, database and schema are distinct objects. A single database can contain multiple schemas, and databases cannot reference each other, but schemas within the same database can.
## 2. Using the Database
Comparison of various SQL statements for operating the database:
| Operation | MySQL SQL Statement | GBase 8c SQL Statement | GBase 8c gsql Tool |
|-------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------|
| **View Databases** | `SHOW DATABASES;` or `SHOW DATABASE example;` | `SELECT * FROM pg_database;` | `\l` or `\l+` |
| **Switch Database** | `USE example;` | Reconnect to switch, this function does not use SQL to switch | `\c example` |
| **Delete Database** | `DROP DATABASE example;`| `DROP DATABASE example;` | None |
## 3. Creating Tables
Both MySQL and GBase 8c support creating tables using the CREATE TABLE statement. The specific syntax differences are as follows:
| Operation | MySQL SQL Statement | GBase 8c SQL Statement |
|-----------|----------------------|------------------------|
| **Creating Tables using `CREATE TABLE`** |CREATE TABLE `` `my_table` `` (<br>`` `id` `` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'id',<br>`` `user_id` `` int NOT NULL COMMENT 'User id',<br>`` `name` `` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Name',<br>`` `address` `` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Address',<br>`` `password` `` varchar(20) DEFAULT 'passwd' COMMENT 'Password',<br>PRIMARY KEY (`` `id` ``)<br>) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;|CREATE TABLE "my_table" (<br>"id" SERIAL NOT NULL,<br>"user_id" int NOT NULL,<br>"name" varchar(50),<br>"address" varchar(50),<br>"passwd" varchar(20) DEFAULT 'password',<br>CONSTRAINT "my_table_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id")<br>);<br><br>COMMENT ON COLUMN "my_table"."id" IS 'id';<br>COMMENT ON COLUMN "my_table"."user_id" IS 'User id';<br>COMMENT ON COLUMN "my_table"."name" IS 'Name';<br>COMMENT ON COLUMN "my_table"."address" IS 'Address';<br>COMMENT ON COLUMN "my_table"."passwd" IS 'Password';|
| **Creating Tables using `CREATE TABLE ... LIKE`** |create table `` `my_table_like` `` like `` `my_table` ``;|create table my_table_like (like my_table);|
| **Creating Tables using `CREATE TABLE ... AS`** |create table `` `my_table_as` `` as select * from `` `my_table` ``;|create table my_table_as as select * from my_table ;|
When migrating SQL statements for creating tables, the following syntax changes are required:
**(1) Naming Rules and Case Sensitivity**
In MySQL, database, table, and field names are enclosed in backticks (``) for marking. This is not allowed in GBase 8c; instead, GBase 8c uses either double quotes or no marks at all.
In GBase 8c, if table and field names are not enclosed in double quotes, they are automatically converted to lowercase when the table is created. If you need to specify uppercase names, you must enclose the names in double quotes.
**(2) Storage Engine Related Changes**
-
When migrating to GBase 8c, you need to remove storage engine-related clauses such as ENGINE and TYPE from MySQL statements.
-
GBase 8c does not support setting character sets at the table level, so CHARSET clauses in MySQL statements should be removed when migrating to GBase 8c.
**(3) CREATE TABLE LIKE\AS**
GBase 8c also supports the CREATE TABLE LIKE\AS syntax, but the usage of the LIKE clause differs from MySQL. In GBase 8c, the LIKE clause must be enclosed in "()", and it does not automatically copy the COMMENT annotations from the original table columns.
## 4. View-Related Statements
Both MySQL and GBase 8c support views, and the basic creation method is similar. However, it is important to note that in GBase 8c, under the default rule, directly modifying data in a view is not supported.
| Operation | MySQL SQL Statement | GBase 8c SQL Statement |
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Creating a View** | `CREATE VIEW v_my_table AS SELECT * FROM my_table;` | `CREATE VIEW v_my_table AS SELECT * FROM my_table;` |
| **Modifying Data Through a View** | `INSERT INTO v_my_table(user_id, name, address) VALUES(2222, 'bbb', 'xxxx');` | Supported, but requires adjusting the default RULE |
| **Dropping a View** | `DROP VIEW v_my_table;` | `DROP VIEW v_my_table;` |
## 5. Index-Related Statements
Both MySQL and GBase 8c support indexing functionality, but there are slight differences in the creation and deletion operations. The basic syntax differences are as follows:
| Operation | MySQL SQL Statement | GBase 8c SQL Statement |
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| **Creating Index** | `CREATE INDEX i_user_id USING BTREE ON my_table (user_id);` <br>or<br> `CREATE INDEX i_user_id ON my_table (user_id) USING BTREE;` | `CREATE INDEX i_user_id ON my_table USING BTREE (user_id);`|
| **Dropping Index** | `DROP INDEX i_user_id ON my_table;` | `DROP INDEX i_user_id;` |
Attention Points for Migrating Index Creation and Deletion Statements:
**(1) Position of `USING index_type`**
In MySQL, the USING index_type clause can appear either before or after the table_name(col_name) clause, as shown:
`... USING index_type table_name(col_name) ...`
OR
`... table_name(col_name) USING index_type ...`
However, in GBase 8c, the USING index_type clause must be placed in the middle of the table_name(col_name) clause:
`... table_name USING index_type (col_name) ...`
**(2) DROP INDEX ON table**
In GBase 8c, when deleting an index object, you do not need to specify the ON table clause. This clause should be removed during migration.
**(3) Other Properties**
GBase 8c does not support FULLTEXT and SPATIAL properties when creating index objects. These properties need to be removed during migration.

Selenium tool is used for controlling web browser through programs and performing browser automation.
Selenium WebDriver:
The core of Selenium is the WebDriver, which provides an API for browser automation. It allows us to interact with web pages, navigate through them, and manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model).
Selenium WebDriver API:
This API provides a set of classes and methods that allow us to interact with web elements like text, field, button. The API is language-specific, and when using Python, we can interact with the API through the Selenium WebDriver library for Python.
Python Selenium Bindings:
The Selenium WebDriver library for Python provides Python bindings for Selenium, enabling us to write Python scripts to automate browser actions. We can install the Selenium library in Python using a package manager like pip: pip install selenium.
Browser-Specific Drivers:
Each web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) requires a specific driver to enable communication with the WebDriver. These drivers act as a bridge between our Selenium script and the browser. We need to download and configure the appropriate driver for the browser we intend to automate. Make sure the driver version matches the browser version.
Web Browser:
Selenium supports various web browsers, and our scripts can interact with different browsers based on our requirements. Commonly used browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, etc.
1.What is the significance of python virtual environment? Give some examples in support of your answer.
A Python virtual environment is a self-contained directory that contains a Python interpreter along with standard libraries and additional packages. The primary purpose of a virtual environment is to create an isolated environment for a Python project.
1.Isolation of Dependencies: Virtual environments allow us to create isolated environments for different projects.
2.Version Compatibility: Different projects may require different versions of the same library or package. Virtual environment enable us to specify and maintain the exact version of the dependencies for each project, preventing version conflicts.
3.Cleaner Dependency Management: Virtual environments help to keep our project's dependencies organized and separate from the global Python environment. This makes it easier to manage dependencies and avoids potential conflicts with system-level packages.
4.Easy Replication: Virtual environment can be easily replicated or shared across different development environment or with other developers. This makes it simpler to ensure that everyone working on the project is using the same set of dependencies.
5.Sandboxed Testing: When testing or debugging code, it's crucial to have a clean environment to identify issues accurately. Virtual environments provide a sandboxed space where we can install and test different packages without affecting the rest of our system.
6.Dependency Version Locking: By using tools like pip and requirements. txt in conjunction with virtual environments, we can freeze and document the exact versions of our project's dependencies.
Examples:
1.Creating a Virtual Environment:# Create a virtual environment named 'myenv' python -m venv myenv.
2. Activating a Virtual Environment:On Windows: .\myenv\Scripts\activate.
3. Installing Packages within a Virtual Environment: # Install a package (e.g., Flask) within the virtual environment pip install Flask.
4. Freezing Dependencies:# Save the project's dependencies to a requirements.txt file pip freeze > requirements.txt.
5. Deactivating a Virtual Environment:deactivate Using virtual environments becomes particularly important in complex projects where we need to manage dependencies, versions, and configurations effectively.

1,892,153 | Multi-robot market quotes sharing solution | When using digital currency quantitative trading robots, when there are multiple robots running on a... | 0 | 2024-06-18T09:01:00 | https://dev.to/fmzquant/multi-robot-market-quotes-sharing-solution-3o5c | robot, market, trading, fmzquant | When using digital currency quantitative trading robots, when there are multiple robots running on a server, if you visit different exchanges, the issue is not serious at this time, and there will be no API request frequency problem. If you need to have multiple robots running at the same time, and they are all visit the same exchange with the same trading pair quantitative trading strategy. At this time, there will be some issues of API request frequency limitation. So how to solve the problem of multi-robot access interface with the least number of servers?
We can implement a market quotation forwarding robot, and access the exchange interface to obtain market quotations and other data can only be completed by this robot. Other trading strategy robots can request data from this market forwarding robot.
## Quote forwarding robot example
It is only responsible for accessing the exchange market quotation interface to obtain data and provide market quotations to other robots. Written in Python, in the example we only get K-line data and provide sharing, which can be expanded to increase depth data, aggregate market data, etc.
```
import _thread
import threading
import json
import math
from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler
from urllib.parse import parse_qs, urlparse
Records = None
lock = threading.RLock()
Counter = {}
def url2Dict(url):
query = urlparse(url).query
params = parse_qs(query)
result = {key: params[key][0] for key in params}
return result
class Provider(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
global Records, lock, Counter
try:
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header("Content-type", "application/json")
self.end_headers()
dictParam = url2Dict(self.path)
# Log("The service receives the request, self.path:", self.path, "query parameter:", dictParam)
lock.acquire()
# Recording
if dictParam["robotId"] not in Counter:
Counter[dictParam["robotId"]] = {"NumberOfRequests" : 0}
Counter[dictParam["robotId"]]["NumberOfRequests"] += 1
lock.release()
# Write data response
self.wfile.write(json.dumps(Records).encode())
except BaseException as e:
Log("Provider do_GET error, e:", e)
def createServer(host):
try:
server = HTTPServer(host, Provider)
Log("Starting server, listen at: %s:%s" % host)
server.serve_forever()
except BaseException as e:
Log("createServer error, e:", e)
raise Exception("stop")
def main():
global Records, Counter
LogReset(1)
try:
# _thread.start_new_thread(createServer, (("localhost", 9090), )) # local computer test
_thread.start_new_thread(createServer, (("0.0.0.0", 9090), )) # Test on VPS server
Log("Start service", "#FF0000")
except BaseException as e:
Log("Failed to start service!")
Log("Error message:", e)
raise Exception("stop")
while True:
r = exchange.GetRecords()
if not r :
Log("K-line market quotation failed", "#FF0000")
continue
else :
Records = r
# Counter
tbl = {
"type" : "table",
"title" : "Statistics",
"cols" : ["ID of the robot requesting data", "Number of requests"],
"rows" : [],
}
for k in Counter:
tbl["rows"].append([k, Counter[k]["NumberOfRequests"]])
LogStatus(_D(), "Data collection!", "\n", "`" + json.dumps(tbl) + "`")
Sleep(500)
```
## Request data robot strategy code
The robot requesting data is a trading strategy robot, but we use it for testing. We only write the requested data (K-line data) and draw the data. You can write it in JavaScript. In order to draw a picture, you need to check the "Line drawing library". Search and copy this class library in Strategy Square. After copying, you can select it in the template reference column on the strategy editing page.
```
var FuncGetRecords = exchange.GetRecords
exchange.GetRecords = function() {
// You can fill in the IP address of the device where the "quote forwarding robot" is located xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
var ret = HttpQuery("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9090?robotId=" + _G())
var records = null
try {
records = JSON.parse(ret)
} catch(e) {
Log(e)
records = null
}
return records
}
function main(){
LogReset(1)
while(1) {
var records = exchange.GetRecords()
LogStatus(_D(), "Robot ID:", _G())
if (!records) {
Log("Failed to get data!", "#FF0000")
Sleep(1000)
continue
}
Log(records)
$.PlotRecords(records, "K")
Sleep(1000)
}
}
```
## Actual operation
Start the market forwarding robot
Start the test robot, ID: 206353
Start the test robot, ID: 206359
In this way, three or even N robots can share the K-line data of a certain trading pair.

## Introduction
On the 14th of March we were at [**DxDay**](https://2024.dxday.it/), the first conference organised by **GrUSP** dedicated to the *Developer Experience*.
It was very cool to see so many different focuses on the same topic, showing how delicate and articulated the DevEx concept is.\
GrUSP will upload the videos of the speeches in the next few months, but if you are already feeling the fear of missing out, we will try to give you the essence of the speeches in this article to give you a taste of what the conference was like.
### What is DevEx?
**Developer Experience** is the study of how people, processes, culture and tools affect the ability of developers to work efficiently. This is a definition provided by Github in one of their blog posts.
As mentioned before, developer experience is a complex and holistic concept, and we need to understand that none of these aspects can overcome the lack of another area, if you want to improve it, you need to work on each topic: technologies, tools, processes, culture and people.
This means that building a good DevEx requires a lot of effort!
It's also a dynamic, evolving concept, and improving it is a continuous process, not a static goal.
But even small steps can contribute, so you should manage the improvement gradually and develop a DevEx improvement process rather than a single big action, dividing the effort required into subtasks.
### Why working to improve DevEx
> *Pleasure in work brings perfection to work.*
> (Aristotele)
The main reason to improve DevEx is to **increase productivity and quality** in its broadest sense.
It's not only about increasing revenue, but could potentially lead to it. The goal is to remove most of the friction, reduce cognitive load, automate repetitive tasks, improve communication and processes, create a positive mindset, flesh out the company's vision and mission, and *unleash the full potential of human capital*.
Striving for quality, creating a trusting environment and being transparent about areas that need improvement could create engagement and a proactive tendency where employees feel they can contribute to improving the overall structures and start to do so.
However, the main output metric of DevEx should be increased developer motivation and perceived satisfaction.
## Talks
Ok, with that concept disambiguation out of the way, **let's talk about the conference**.
First of all, 4 of the 7 talks focused on tools for developers and the other 3 on process management and culture fostering.
The speakers come from very different backgrounds, which might justify the different focuses of their talks
### Tools focused talks
Let's start with the tools, **Maxim Salnikov**, Developer Productivity Lead @ Microsoft showed us the power of **GitHub Copilot** and its ability to understand the context of your project, a tool that claims to allow developers to request all the boring tasks that keep them in the zone, making it easier to experiment the world famous *Mihály Csíkszentmihályi* flow state. Such a very ambitious claim and also a very ambitious goal: to offer a pair programming experience without the need for a senior engineer and increase productivity.
If you live in the desert or come from another planet and have never heard of Copilot, take a look at this "magical" looking tool.
**Talita Gregory Nunes Freire** Engineer @ Spotify and **Vincenzo Scamporlino** Senior Engineer @ Spotify have demoed *Spotify Backstage*, a tool that allows you to easily build a developer portal, an interface that could aggregate all your utilities for your microservices, allowing you to have a schematic view of your microservices' dependencies for example, but also much more!
They claim to address issues such as discoverability, system ownership, fragmentation, duplication and context switching. The focus is on **reducing cognitive load**, improving collaboration and transforming complex software into manageable units. We also use Backstage for some projects at SparkFabrik and its adoption is growing every day, confirming it as the de facto standard tool for complex cloud project management. Oh yeah, I forgot, this tool is completely open source, great!
**Lou Bichard**, Product Manager @ Gitpod, talked about his groundbreaking and, in such cases, futuristic Gitpod, a cloud development tool that removes the pain of onboarding and transforms your projects into code-ready, globally maintained development environments, removing the abstraction of infrastructure in your environment, what Lou called outer loop removal, a production-like environment. It looks like VSCode but in your browser, a future where you can upgrade hardware resources without changing your PC.
And it's not just Gitpod's product manager who is betting on cloud environments, but also **Francesco Corti**, Principal Product Manager @ Docker, with his talk on the future of growing DevEx tools, highlighting how companies are increasingly interested in this type of solution. He also tried to foresee the future of AI tools, predicting a future where we will move to a whole team of specialised AI assistants that will help you not only to automate boring tasks, but also to create documentation, debug, deploy, make data entries, get feedback on requirements, respect and test your software, an environment where developers don't usually code, but ask AI to do it for them.
If you have never heard of any of these technologies, look for demos, tutorials and so on, because it takes too much effort to explain all their functionalities in this blog post, the good news is that there are tons of resources about them.
### Processes and culture-focused conversations
As I said, it's not just about tools, history has taught us that: the aeolipile was the first steam engine, but it didn't lead to a revolution, probably because the Greek culture didn't need to replace servant work. For **DevEx**, it is also easier to demonstrate because we work in teams: communities made up of people with social dynamics that affect our ability to perform.
**Abiodun Olowode**, Senior Engineering Manager @ Factorial, introduced us to *Documentation Driven Development*, which focuses on process optimisation, and how this could shine a light on team collaboration and knowledge sharing, potentially reducing code churn and introducing a faster feedback loop that could accelerate development.
One thing we've too often forgotten is that developers want to know why something works the way it does, why one implementation was chosen over another, we can understand code but we can't always deduce the reasons behind it and it's not always possible to ask someone for an explanation, we need a more robust and shared tool like documentation.
And also this kind of development could lead to less intolerance about writing docs, because it became part of development, you don't have to pass back your whole implementation process to describe it, the task becomes progressive and manageable. However, it was cool that maintaining and developing a tool together could improve DevEx.
**Thomas Khalil**, DevEx Head of Platform & Site Reliability Engineering @ Trivago, with his beautiful allegory of the Wizard of Oz, described some of the behavioural patterns that people in the organisation tend to adopt in order to challenge the psychologically complex situations that our jobs require today, and how empathy and awareness could lead people to unleash their true potential.
For Kahil, DevEx is about deeply understanding people's needs, motivations and aspirations, building trust, finding answers behind their defensive behaviours without needing a guru, keeping processes adaptable and choosing metrics wisely, keeping in mind that they are and should be holistic metrics. Even though it wasn't the focus of his talk, I'd like to focus on Kahil's use of surveys to identify areas for improvement and employee perceptions.
> *Suffering comes from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is in our power*
> (Epictetus)
This quote used by Kahil highlights the main problem of the archetypes he describes and reminds us to try to improve what is in our power and to take care of it.
Dulcis in fundo our **Paolo Pustorino**, Head of HR @ SparkFabrik with his talk focused on the *influence of culture on DevEx*, alignment of values, sense of community, engagement, commitment, caring, transparency and the importance of psychological safety as a driving engine of developer experience satisfaction. He gave a lot of information about the processes of recruitment, onboarding and also career paths within Sparkfabrik and how the company tries to support you along the way, asking you for feedback on relationships, core values, training needs and perspectives. He gave an insight into the company's goals, such as the pursuit of quality in a broad sense (not only technical quality, but also relationship quality, communication quality, which revolves around the value of transparency, etc.) and the decision to make cultural fit and team fitness the key guiding values required during recruitment in order to preserve the culture and DevEx quality within the company.
*"The chef is not the best cook in the kitchen, but he helps everyone to succeed"* is probably the most emblematic phrase describing the previous assumptions. He also talked about the so-called **Expert's Deception**, the bias that innovation is a process driven by exports when their main quality is to offer experience, assumptions based on the past rather than challenging the status quo, and the desire to avoid the Peter Principle with career progression.
He gave us an introduction to the Cynefin framework, which could help you to support line managers in their work, remembering that you need to avoid instilling fear to get people to perform at their best.
I hope that you now have a broader perspective on DevEx and that you understand that a good company culture usually coincides with optimising tool adoption, but no tool adoption can improve your company culture.
## Metrics
We didn't talk so much about metrics to measure it, only Kahil did a little bit. We need to specify that we need to separate developer productivity or job performance metrics from DevEx metrics or job satisfaction.
Even if your ultimate goal is to **improve productivity**, make sure you have improved DevEx first. DevEx metrics could give you insight to better understand productivity metrics and could encourage hidden latent innovation processes.
One of the most popular tools in this area is the **SPACE framework**, which uses some performance metrics to gain insight into DevEx. It's an acronym that stands for the following concepts:
- Satisfaction and Well-being: it measures how healthy and happy developers are, with a focus on psychological safety and satisfaction, worrying about workload and detecting and acting on possible toxic practices such as *Compulsory Citizenship Behaviour (CCB)* or lack of boundaries with personal life such as calls outside working hours. It also consists of assessments of personal goals and aspirations such as tool adoption and so on.
- Performance: difficult to measure because the business outcome doesn't imply a quality outcome. To balance better quality and quantity outcomes, you will better separate the metrics for the two areas, allowing you to understand if you are sacrificing code quality to deliver fast, undermining developer satisfaction and increasing code churn with its associated costs.
- Activity: Many activities such as brainstorming, meetings, or supporting a teammate are not usually evaluated by these metrics. Choosing the right metrics in this area could give you insights into quality, such as spending enough time on design decisions, code review, refactoring and identifying bottlenecks.
- Communication and Collaboration: focus on information discoverability and dissemination, network metrics, role clarity, awareness, transparency and team member contribution to team fitness. These metrics could influence all other areas of the **SPACE framework**.
- Efficiency and flow: the ability to complete work with minimal interruption or delay, measured by what is known as focus time. For efficiency, we could suggest the famous DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics: deployment frequency, change lead time, change failure rate and mean time to recovery (MTTR).
All these aspects could be measured individually or for teams, and we also have to mention that maximising one factor could have a negative impact on another, like for example reducing interruptions to improve flow could damage the collaboration of the team, it's not a law but consider that this could happen, so you will better have a holistic approach and also always consider that metrics by themselves are not reliable and could reflect other things, the choice of these metrics itself reflects company or team opinions and is influenced by irrationality processes.
Try to extract insights from metrics rather than using them as a driving force.
## Conclusions
> *Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes.*
> (Bertolt Brecht)
DevEx focuses on improving the development environment with tools, but also in terms of a social environment that allows people to express their full potential.
A corporate culture less focused on workaholism and control and more on empowerment and trust contribute to DevEx, and in this sense could help the adoption of a transformational leadership style or Hansei framework, or encourage community participation and avoid silo mentality that could lead to a positive sense of identity with the larger organization and its members and could unleash Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB) that consists in spontaneous mentoring, support, conscientiousness and sportsmanship that create virtuous cycles that put people in conditions to express their potential.
I don't know if future tools will move from promoting staying in the zone and achieving flow experiences to leading to Maslow's peak experiences, at least for those working from the Greek concept of Meraki, but as focused on Kahil's talk, the right tool at the wrong time might not be able to improve DevEx, and certainly gurus are not the answer, as Paolo also noted, we need to foster and nurture a psychologically safe environment with transparency, trust, communication, empathy, room for mistakes to avoid spreading fear because innovations arise from failure, so **never lose the spark**!

Many developers are going back and forth between [Rust and C++](https://bluebirdinternational.com/rust-vs-c/).
Both languages offer distinct strengths and weaknesses, making it challenging to determine which is best for a given project.
## Rust vs. C++: Understanding the Core Fundamentals
Both Rust and C++ are versatile, high-performance languages. Let’s explore their respective fundamentals, including syntax comparison and programming language features.
**Language Syntax Comparison**
Here’s a brief look at how each language specifies declarations and function definitions:
LanguageDeclaration SyntaxFunction DefinitionRustlet x: i32;fn foo() {}C++int x;void foo() {}
## Programming Language Features of Rust vs. C++
**Rust:**
Designed for safety and concurrency.
Supports imperative, functional, and concurrent programming paradigms.
Emphasizes memory safety with a modern learning experience.
**C++:**
General-purpose language supporting multiple paradigms.
Offers procedural, functional, object-oriented, and generic programming.
Provides precise manual control, which can be both advantageous and risky.
## The History of Rust vs. C++
**C++** was created in the early 1980s by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of C. It introduced object-oriented programming (OOP) and quickly became popular for system programming.
**Rust** emerged in 2010, developed by Mozilla Research, to provide memory safety and strong concurrency control while retaining C++’s performance and control. Its unique ownership system ensures memory safety without garbage collection, preventing data races effectively.
## Libraries, Frameworks, and Extensions
**Rust:**
Serde: Framework for efficient data serialization.
Tokio: Asynchronous runtime for scalable network services.
Rayon: Simplifies parallel computations with parallel iterators.
**C++:**
Boost: Extends C++ functionality for tasks like linear algebra and unit testing.
Eigen: High-level library for linear algebra and numerical solvers.
Poco: Collection of libraries for network-based applications.
## Performance Face-off of Rust vs. C++
Rust and C++ both offer impressive performance, but there are key differences. C++ generally has a slight advantage in execution speed, but
Rust’s ownership model ensures thread safety without garbage collection, leading to predictable performance in concurrent applications.
## Memory Management: Safety and Control in Rust and C++
**Rust:**
Emphasizes memory safety through its ownership system.
Automatically deallocates memory when it is no longer needed.
Reduces the risk of memory-related bugs.
**C++:**
Offers manual memory control for high-performance applications.
Greater flexibility but increases the potential for memory leaks and vulnerabilities.
**Concurrency:** Comparing Rust and C++ Multithreading Capabilities
C++ is good for concurrency but managing it can be complex and error-prone. Issues like race conditions and deadlocks are common.
Rust offers “fearless concurrency” with strict compile-time checks to prevent data races, increasing the reliability and safety of multithreaded applications.
## Developer Experience: Ease of Use and Picking up the Language
**Rust:**
Steeper learning path focused on safety and reducing errors.
Active and growing community support.
**C++:**
Complex due to extensive features and manual memory management.
Vast and mature community with extensive libraries and frameworks.
## Industry Adoption: Who’s Using Rust and C++?
**Rust:**
Adopted by companies like Mozilla, Dropbox, Cloudflare, and Figma.
Gaining popularity in performance-sensitive domains and web development.
**C++:**
Widely used by Google, JPMorgan, Electronic Arts (EA), and Microsoft.
Dominates in system programming, financial services, and gaming industries. | zoltan_fehervari_52b16d1d |

1,892,149 | Understanding the Event Loop, Callback Queue, and Call Stack & Micro Task Queue in JavaScript | Call Stack: Simple Data structure provided by the V8 Engine. JS Engine contains Memory... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:57:35 | https://dev.to/rajatoberoi/understanding-the-event-loop-callback-queue-and-call-stack-in-javascript-1k7c | javascript, beginners, programming, asynchronous | ## Call Stack:
- Simple Data structure provided by the V8 Engine. JS Engine contains Memory Heap and Call Stack.
- Tracks execution of our program, by tracking currently running functions.
- Our complete Js file gets wrapped in main() function and is added in Call Stack for execution.
- Whenever we call a function, it's gets added to Call Stack. Once it gets executed and finishes it gets popped out from stack.
- JS is single threaded i.e. Single Call Stack
```
//Basic Example
const x = 1;
const y = x + 2;
console.log('Sum is', y);
/*
- This code gets wrapped in main() and main is added to Call Stack.
- log('Sum is 3') added to call stack.
- On console we would get 'Sum is 3'. Now log function is finished and gets removed from Call Stack.
- Now end of script, main function gets popped out of Call Stack.
*/
```
```
const listLocations = (locations) => {
locations.forEach((location) => {
console.log(location);
});
}
const myLocation = ['Delhi', 'Punjab'];
listLocations(myLocation)
```
1. Main function gets pushed onto the call stack.
2. Line 1 we are declaring the function but not calling it, hence it will not get added to call stack.
3. Line 7 we are defining our location array.
4. Line 8 Function call, So it is going to be pushed to call stack and is the top item there.
5. listLocations will start running. pushed to call stack.
6. forEach is a function call so gets added to call stack. forEach calls anonymus function one time for each location.
7. anonymous('Delhi) function gets added to call stack with argument Delhi.
8. Now console.log function gets added to call stack. It prints Delhi, and finishes. and pops out.
9. anonymous('Delhi) finishes and pops out.
10. forEach is not done yet hence does not pops out. anonymous('Punjab) gets added to call stack.
11. Now console.log function gets added to call stack. It prints Punjab, and finishes. and pops out.
12. forEach is completed and hence poped out of call stack.
13. listLocations is done, hence pops out.
14. Script is completed. main() pops out.
## Callback Queue
It's job is to maintain a list of all of the callback functions that needs to be executed.
```
console.log('Starting Up!');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Two Seconds!');
}, 2000);
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Zero Seconds!');
}, 0);
console.log('Finishing Up!');
```
1. main() pushed to call stack.
2. Line 3: setTimeout pushed to call stack.
< setTimeout is not part of JS V8 but is part of NodeJS. It's implementation is in C++ provided by NodeJs.
3. setTimeout when called registers an event which is an event-callback pair. Event here is wait 2 seconds and callback is the function to run.
Another example of event-callback pair is wait for database request to complete and then run the callback that does something with the data.
4. This new event i.e. setTimeout function is popped and is registered in Node APIs. 2 Seconds clock starts ticking down.
While waiting for those 2 seconds we can do other stuff < Non Blocking nature of node >
5. Line 7: setTimeout registers another event in Node API.
6. Now timeout 0 seconds are up, now the callback needs to be executed.
Callback Queue comes in picture: It's job is to maintain a list of all of the callback functions that needs to be executed. Front item gets executed first.
7. callback of setTimeout with 0 seconds timeout gets added to queue so that it can be executed.
But to get executed it needs to be added on Call Stack, that's where function go to run.
Now, here Event Loops comes in picture, it looks at the call stack and callback queue, If call stack is empty then it will run items from callback queue. < This is the reason 'Finishing Up!' logged before 'Zero Seconds!' as main was in call stack, event loop is waiting for main to get popped out>
8. log('Zero Seconds!') gets added to call stack. and message is printed on console.
9. main is completed and pops out.
10. Event loop takes item from call back queue and push to call stack. 'Zero Seconds!' prints.
11. Once 2 seconds achieved, callback('Two Seconds!') added to callback queue, moves to call stack, gets executed.
'Two Seconds!' prints.
- The delay specified in setTimeout is not the exact timing of execution but rather the minimum delay after which the callback can be added to the callback queue.
- The actual execution time depends on the event loop's scheduling and the availability of the call stack. This asynchronous behaviour allows JavaScript to handle non-blocking operations effectively, especially in environments like Node.js where I/O operations are common.
## Non-Blocking Nature of Node.js
- JavaScript is single-threaded, meaning only one function can be executed at a time.
- However, Node.js and the browser environment manage asynchronous tasks using other threads.
- While the call stack is executing synchronous code, the environment handles asynchronous events in the background.
## Summary
- **Call Stack**: The structure that keeps track of function calls. Only one function can run at a time.
- **Callback Queue**: A queue that holds callbacks that are ready to be executed.
- **Event Loop**: A mechanism that checks if the call stack is empty and if so, pushes the next callback from the callback queue to the call stack.
## Micro Task Queue
- When working with Promise, NodeJS works with micro task queue.
- Microtasks are queued for execution.
- When a Promise is resolved or rejected, its .then() or .catch() callbacks are added to the microtask queue.
- In async await: When await is used inside an async function, it essentially breaks the function into two parts:
- Synchronous Part: The part before the await keyword executes synchronously.
- Asynchronous Part: The part after await executes asynchronously once the awaited promise resolves.
- Microtasks come into play when promises are resolved inside async functions using await. After the awaited promise resolves, the callback (or subsequent async code) following the await is placed in the Microtask Queue for execution.
- Event Loop prioritise the microtask queue. Microtasks have higher priority than macrotasks (such as setTimeout callbacks or event handlers), which means they are executed as soon as the call stack is empty and before the event loop moves to the next macrotask.
- First micro task queue is emptied then event loop moves to callback queue.
- After each task picked from callback queue and pushed to call stack, event loop will check micro task queue.

1,892,140 | AWS Lambda Explored: A Comprehensive Guide to Serverless Use Cases | Did you know that “Serverless architecture market size exceeded USD 9 billion in 2022 and is... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:34:33 | https://www.softwebsolutions.com/resources/exploring-aws-lambda-serverless-use-cases.html | lambda, aws, cloud, serverless | **Did you know that**
> “Serverless architecture market size exceeded USD 9 billion in 2022 and is estimated to grow at over 25% CAGR to from 2023 to 2032.” – Global Market Insights
AWS Lambda is among the widely used services for implementing the concept of serverless architecture. Provided by Amazon Web Services, AWS Lambda gives users a way to write, deploy, and run code in the AWS cloud that is reliable, scalable, and self-contained without requiring users to oversee the provision or management of any servers easily and efficiently.
While there are many similar services out there available to developers, none are as liberating as AWS Lambda. This service does not require to predict how many servers, CPUs, or how much memory the code will require to execute. Thus, with AWS Lambda, code runs in response to events and the compute resources needed to run the code are provisioned and scaled.
## What is AWS Lambda?
AWS Lambda was first introduced in November of 2016. It was developed as a serverless computing platform for executing code, without the need to provision or manage servers. In order to develop the required logic for clusters that are aware of the workload, to maintain events, or to manage the runtimes.
AWS Lambda is very simple to use. Input the code, arrange it to be invoked by other **[AWS services](https://www.softwebsolutions.com/aws-services.html)**, endpoints, or in-app events, upload the code as an upload in a zipped format or as a container image, and the service handles the rest. AWS Lambda provides sufficient processing power and runs the code in response to the invoked code or event. It can also be invoked by AWS Lambda, of which there are over 200 services and SaaS applications, or it can be called from a web or mobile app.
## What is serverless computing?
It does not refer to what one would imagine it to be at first. Yes, there is a server involved, but it is not a server that the user or the admin must operate or run. However, serverless computing enables to develop and run applications and/or services without a requirement of the foundational hardware layer. All these responsibilities are automatically handled by the third-party host (in this case AWS Lambda).
> **_Suggested: [AWS Cloud Migration Guide: Explore the 7 Rs Strategy](https://www.softwebsolutions.com/resources/aws-cloud-migration-strategy.html)_**
## 5 AWS Lambda use cases
### 1. Using AWS Lambda to send mass emails with Simple Email Service
Communication, in the broadest sense of the term is an integral component of marketing services for every organization. Traditional solutions periodically demand a capital investment in such physical devises, expensive software licenses, and professional support.
This makes it wise to develop an in-house, cost-efficient serverless email solution with AWS Lambda and Simple Email Service (SES). In addition to S3 where the mailing list is to be stored, you can within minutes of preparation send out HTML or plain text emails to many people.
In this solution, any upload of a CSV file by a user leads to an S3 event. This automatically invokes another Lambda function that will parse the file and load it into the database in preparation to start sending an email to all the captured addresses.
### 2. Serverless IoT backend
Managing hundreds of IoT devices doesn’t sound easy. Additionally, addressing the data for more than one device at a time can be something of a hassle.
This is depicted in the diagram given above. Using AWS IoT, one can define rules to send device registration to the DynamoDB table using Lambda function. In addition to this, one can use an another Lambda function that looks for the serial number of a particular device from the database and a momentarily activation code generated for the device.
### 3. AWS Lambda position and utility in developing a serverless chatbot
Creating and executing chatbots involves a lot of time and money and not forgetting the demand for especially skilled workers. Some responsibilities include creating the environment in which the chatbot code will operate, managing the environment under which it will operate, and expanding the infrastructure that supports it. Although, by using AWS Lambda, you can implement a highly available and elastic chatbot architecture. Here’s how to get started:
- Enter your code logic to the Lambda function.
- Make the code reactive by linking it with what users send to the bot in terms of commands. They are API calls coming directly from the Slack Messaging, or other similar interfaces connected through API Gateway to the Lambda function.
- Lambda respires only when on command and therefore should be utilizing the resources when necessary.

### 4. Real-time notifications with AWS Lambda and SNS
Real-time notifications help keep everyone informed. This fact is crucial in DevOps because generally, they rely on constant communication. This ultimately leads to a faster and smoother DevOps workflow for ML models development using AWS Lambda.
When using SNS, one first creates a topic, which consists in defining policies for the determination of subscribers or publishers to be communicated within the topic. The published message of the SNS topic initiates the Lambda function to which it has subscribed.
Using the same, the function can process the information in the message and publish to other SNS topics, if needed, or send the message to other AWS services or end points.
For example: the infrastructural alerts in a Slack notification. Any time you have alarms in CloudWatch they will then send a message to that SNS topic. Gaining access to the message, SNS topic will trigger the Lambda function that will in turn send a message to the Slack channel through the Slack API.
### 5. Serverless authentication using Amazon Cognito
When used with AWS Lambda, Amazon Cognito can help add pre and post-login hooks on which it can invoked its own function.
Once the AWS Lambda function has been created, you are able to trigger it based on some specific user pool operations present like user sign up, user confirmation, login and other related operations and make it more complex, manually migrate the given users and send the personalized verification messages and a lot more.
The common triggering sources of the Lambda function include:
- Sign-up, confirmation and sign-in
- Pre and post authentication
- Custom authentication challenge
- Pre token generation
- Migrate user
- Custom message
The following are some basics of how custom message works. Invoking your Lambda function: Amazon Cognito will invoke the function for delivering the email or phone verification text or the multi-factor authentication code which will provide with the ability to customize messages as per the needs. The triggering sources for the custom message are:
- Confirmation code post-sign-up
- New accounts or users may be given a temporary password when making the accounts.
- Resending confirmation code
- Verification code for password reset DataService Response
- The following manual request refers to a new email/phone.
- Multi-factor authentication
## Conclusion
Serverless computing has emerged as a game-changer in application development. Pioneered by AWS Lambda, it offers a paradigm shift, allowing businesses to shed the burden of server management and focus on what truly matters: their core functionalities. This translates into significant advantages – from seamless scalability and cost-efficiency to dramatically faster development cycles. However, the complexities of serverless architecture and its implementation can pose a challenge.

They... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:27:31 | https://dev.to/ishmam_abir/swithing-data-types-understanding-the-type-switch-in-golang-4enc | go, typeswitch, tutorial | Type switches in Golang offer a robust mechanism for handling different types within interfaces. They simplify the code and enhance readability, making it easier to manage complex logic based on type assertions. Whether you are dealing with polymorphic data structures or custom error types, type switches provide a clean and effective solution.
### TL;DR:
It allows executing different code based on the type of an interface value, using the syntax switch v := x.(type) { case T1: /*...*/ case T2: /*...*/ default: /*...*/ }
---
### What is a Type Switch?
A type switch is a construct that permits the switching over the types of an interface value. Unlike a regular switch statement that evaluates expressions to find a matching case, a type switch is used to compare the type of a variable. This is particularly useful when you are working with interfaces and need to handle different types differently.
### Syntax of Type Switch
The syntax of a type switch in Go is similar to that of a regular switch statement but includes a special .(type) assertion. Here is the basic structure:
```go
switch v := x.(type) {
case T1:
// v has type T1
case T2:
// v has type T2
default:
// no match; v has type of the interface value x
}
```
In this structure:
- `x` is the interface value whose dynamic type is being inspected.
- `v` is the variable that will hold the value of `x` in the respective case.
- `T1`, `T2`, etc., are the types being checked against.
#### Example
An example according to the syntex is given below
```go
package main
import "fmt"
func SelectType(value interface{}) {
switch value.(type) {
case string:
fmt.Printf("%v is String Type\n", value)
case int:
fmt.Printf("%v is int type\n", value)
case float64:
fmt.Printf("%v is float type\n", value)
default:
fmt.Printf("type of %v is not defined\n", value)
}
}
func main() {
SelectType("cow")
SelectType(3.1416)
SelectType(true)
}
```
Output:
```cmd
cow is String Type
3.1416 is float type
type of true is not defined
```
Here, Data type of an interface is showing using the Type switch.
---
### Real-life Example
Consider a scenario in a web application where you need to handle different types of errors in a custom way. Go's error handling can be enhanced using type switches to provide more detailed error processing.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net"
"os"
)
// Custom error types
type NetworkError struct {
Op string
Err error
}
func (e *NetworkError) Error() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("network error: %s: %v", e.Op, e.Err)
}
type FileError struct {
Path string
Err error
}
func (e *FileError) Error() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("file error: %s: %v", e.Path, e.Err)
}
func handleError(err error) {
switch e := err.(type) {
case *NetworkError:
fmt.Println("Handling network error:", e)
case *FileError:
fmt.Println("Handling file error:", e)
default:
fmt.Println("Handling general error:", e)
}
}
func main() {
// Simulate different errors
netErr := &NetworkError{Op: "dial", Err: net.UnknownNetworkError("tcp")}
fileErr := &FileError{Path: "/invalid/path", Err: os.ErrNotExist}
handleError(netErr)
handleError(fileErr)
handleError(fmt.Errorf("a general error"))
}
```
In this real-life example, `handleError` function uses a type switch to handle different custom error types (`NetworkError` and `FileError`) and provides specific messages for each type of error.
Output:
```cmd
Handling network error: network error: dial: unknown network tcp
Handling file error: file error: /invalid/path: file does not exist
Handling general error: a general error
```
---
### Conclusion
Hopefully this example will make a clear vision where we can use the type switch in our development work.

**Shopify:** While Shopify limits direct access to backend code, it offers a wide selection of customizable themes and apps through its App Store. Users can achieve a personalized look and functionality without extensive coding knowledge, though advanced customization may require assistance from Shopify Experts.
#### Cost Considerations
**WooCommerce:** WooCommerce itself is free to use, but costs can add up with necessary expenses like hosting, domain registration, premium themes, and plugins. Businesses also need to factor in maintenance costs for updates and security.
**Shopify:** Shopify operates on a subscription model starting from $25 per month (Basic Plan) up to $399 per month (Advanced Plan). Additional costs may include transaction fees for using external payment gateways. Despite these costs, Shopify's all-inclusive pricing simplifies budgeting and eliminates surprise expenses.
#### SEO and Marketing Capabilities
**WooCommerce:** Leveraging WordPress's robust SEO capabilities, WooCommerce offers powerful tools like Yoast SEO for optimizing content and improving search engine rankings. Businesses have complete control over SEO strategies, including meta descriptions, URLs, and site structure.
**Shopify:** Shopify includes basic SEO features but may require additional apps or customizations for advanced SEO functionalities like rich snippets. Its built-in blogging platform supports content marketing efforts, though customization options for SEO may be more limited compared to WooCommerce.
#### Support and Community
**WooCommerce:** As an open-source platform, WooCommerce benefits from a large community of developers, forums, and extensive documentation. While there's no official support, users can find solutions and assistance through community forums or third-party providers.
**Shopify:** Shopify offers 24/7 customer support via phone, email, and live chat for all subscription plans. Its dedicated support team assists users with technical issues, customization queries, and general inquiries, providing peace of mind for businesses requiring immediate assistance.
## Choosing the Right Platform for Your Business
Selecting between WooCommerce and Shopify boils down to understanding your business's specific needs, technical expertise, and long-term goals. Here's a breakdown based on common business scenarios:
Startups and Small Businesses: Shopify's ease of use and comprehensive support make it an excellent choice for beginners and businesses focusing on rapid growth without technical complexities.
Medium to Large Enterprises: WooCommerce's flexibility and customization options are advantageous for businesses with specific requirements, established brands looking to maintain brand identity, and those prioritizing control over their ecommerce operations.
Budget Considerations: WooCommerce's initial setup costs may be lower due to its free plugin, but ongoing expenses for hosting and additional features can accumulate. Shopify's subscription model simplifies budgeting, though transaction fees and app costs should be factored in.
## Conclusion
Both WooCommerce and Shopify offer robust solutions for building and managing ecommerce stores, each catering to different business needs and preferences. Whether you prioritize flexibility, ease of use, scalability, or budget, understanding the nuances between these platforms is crucial for making an informed decision. By aligning your business goals with the features and capabilities of WooCommerce or Shopify, you can establish a thriving online presence that meets your customers' expectations and drives growth.

1,892,134 | What is the relationship between the grayscale and brightness of LED displays? | LED displays play an important role in modern advertising, entertainment, and information... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:21:10 | https://dev.to/sostrondylan/what-is-the-relationship-between-the-grayscale-and-brightness-of-led-displays-1g90 | led, displays, brightness | [LED displays](https://sostron.com/products/) play an important role in modern advertising, entertainment, and information dissemination. Understanding the relationship between its grayscale and brightness is essential for optimizing display effects.
Definition of grayscale and brightness
Grayscale (also known as brightness) refers to the brightness of each pixel on the display. When displaying images or animations, the brightness of each LED light-emitting diode that makes up the pixel needs to be finely adjusted. The fineness of this adjustment is usually called the grayscale level. The grayscale level can be 16, 32, 64, etc. Through this grading process, the image transmission is clearer. [What should I do if the LED display cannot load an image? ](https://sostron.com/led-display-loading-image-how-to-do/)
Methods for controlling grayscale
There are two main methods for controlling the grayscale of LEDs:
Changing the current flowing through the LED:
The brightness of the LED is changed by adjusting the current flowing through the LED. Generally, the operating current of the LED is about 20 mA. Except for the red LED, whose brightness is not completely proportional to the current due to saturation, the brightness of other color LEDs is basically proportional to the current flowing. [Provide you with knowledge about nit brightness. ](https://sostron.com/knowledge-of-nit-brightness/)
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):
Use the visual inertia of the human eye to achieve grayscale control by quickly switching LEDs. The PWM method periodically changes the width of the light pulse (i.e., the duty cycle). When the refresh frequency is high enough, the human eye will not perceive the change in brightness. Since PWM is more suitable for digital control, this method is widely used in modern LED displays to achieve grayscale control.
LED control system
The control system of the LED display usually consists of a main control box, a scanning board, and a display control device:
Main control box: obtains the brightness data of various colors of screen pixels from the computer's display card, and then distributes the data to several scanning boards.
Scanning board: Each scanning board controls several rows or columns of LEDs on the display screen, and transmits control signals in serial mode.
Display control device: specifically executes the instructions for lighting or extinguishing each LED.
Serial transmission of display control signals
There are currently two main ways to transmit display control signals serially:
Centralized control of the grayscale of each pixel:
The scanning board decomposes the grayscale value of each row of pixels from the main control box (i.e., pulse width modulation), and then transmits it serially to the corresponding LED in the form of pulses (1 for lighting and 0 for non-lighting). This method uses fewer devices, but the data transmission volume is large. At 16 levels of grayscale, each pixel requires 16 pulses; at 256 levels of grayscale, 256 pulses are required. Due to the limitation of the operating frequency of the device, this method can generally only achieve 16 levels of grayscale. [Introduce the pixel density and resolution of LED display screens. ](https://sostron.com/pixel-density-and-resolution-of-led-display/)
Pulse width modulation:
The scanning board transmits the 8-bit binary grayscale value of each LED, and each LED has its own pulse width modulator to control the lighting time. At 16 levels of grayscale, each pixel only needs 4 pulses; at 256 levels of grayscale, only 8 pulses are required, which greatly reduces the transmission frequency. Using this decentralized method of controlling LED grayscale, 256-level grayscale control can be easily achieved.
Summary
The grayscale and brightness of LED display screens are closely related. By adjusting the grayscale level, the brightness can be accurately controlled. Changing the current flowing through and pulse width modulation are the two main control methods. Among them, PWM is widely used in modern LED display screens because it is more suitable for digital control. Understanding and applying these control methods can significantly improve the image quality and visual effects of LED display screens.

Nó không chỉ làm cho da mặt... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:18:43 | https://dev.to/sinh_vincosmetics_29a99/nhung-cach-dieu-tri-mun-an-phc | Mụn ẩn là loại mụn thường gây khó chịu và tổn thương nhất đối với làn da. Nó không chỉ làm cho da mặt bị xấu đi mà còn gây ra cảm giác đau đớn và không thoải mái trong cuộc sống hàng ngày. Với sự phát triển của khoa học và công nghệ, có rất nhiều cách để điều trị mụn ẩn hiệu quả. Tuy nhiên, để bạn có thể lựa chọn được phương pháp phù hợp, hãy cùng tìm hiểu qua bài viết này về những cách điều trị mụn ẩn.
Điều trị mụn ẩn bằng thuốc
Điều trị mụn ẩn bằng thuốc là phương pháp được sử dụng rất phổ biến và hiệu quả trong việc trị mụn ẩn. Có nhiều loại thuốc được sử dụng để điều trị mụn ẩn như: thuốc tẩy tế bào chết, thuốc kháng viêm, thuốc kháng khuẩn, thuốc giảm tiết dầu, thuốc giảm sưng và đỏ da. Dưới đây là một số loại thuốc phổ biến được sử dụng để điều trị mụn ẩn.
Thuốc tẩy tế bào chết
Thuốc tẩy tế bào chết là loại thuốc giúp tẩy tế bào chết trên da, làm cho lớp da mới được tạo ra và loại bỏ các tế bào chết trên bề mặt da. Khi bị mụn ẩn, các tế bào chết có thể làm tắc nghẽn lỗ chân lông, gây ra viêm và mụn ẩn. Sử dụng thuốc tẩy tế bào chết định kỳ giúp làm sạch sâu lỗ chân lông và ngăn ngừa mụn ẩn tái phát.
Một số thành phần chính trong thuốc tẩy tế bào chết là acid salicylic và glycolic. Acid salicylic có tác dụng làm sạch lỗ chân lông và giảm tình trạng mụn trứng cá, trong khi glycolic có tác dụng loại bỏ lớp tế bào chết trên da. Ngoài ra, bạn cũng có thể sử dụng các sản phẩm chứa vitamin C, E hoặc AHA (acids alpha hydroxy) để giúp làm sáng da và làm mờ sẹo mụn ẩn.
Thuốc kháng viêm và kháng khuẩn
Một số loại thuốc được sử dụng để điều trị mụn ẩn có tác dụng kháng viêm và kháng khuẩn, giúp làm giảm sưng và đỏ da. Một trong những thành phần phổ biến trong các loại thuốc này là benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide có tác dụng kháng khuẩn và làm giảm tiết bã nhờn trên da, giúp mụn ẩn không còn nhiễm khuẩn và giảm sự phát triển của mụn mới.
Ngoài ra, các loại thuốc kháng khuẩn và kháng viêm cũng có thể chứa các thành phần như clindamycin, erythromycin hoặc tretinoin. Tretinoin có tác dụng tẩy tế bào chết và giúp tăng sinh sản tế bào mới, giúp làm giảm mụn ẩn và làm sáng sạch da. Tuy nhiên, khi sử dụng các loại thuốc này, bạn cần chú ý đến các tác dụng phụ có thể gây khô da và kích ứng da.
Thuốc giảm sưng và đỏ da
Khi bị mụn ẩn, da thường sưng và đỏ do viêm nhiễm. Để giảm tình trạng này, bạn có thể sử dụng các loại thuốc như corticosteroid hay ibuprofen có tác dụng làm giảm viêm và sưng da. Tuy nhiên, cần lưu ý rằng các loại thuốc này chỉ làm giảm triệu chứng của mụn và không giúp điều trị vết thâm mụn ẩn.

1,891,229 | Lessons from Google’s technical writing course for engineering blogs | As a technical content writer helping engineers write blog posts, I recently completed Google’s... | 0 | 2024-06-18T08:14:43 | https://dev.to/annelaure13/lessons-from-googles-technical-writing-course-for-engineering-blogs-4458 | As a technical content writer helping engineers write blog posts, I recently completed [Google’s technical writing course](https://developers.google.com/tech-writing). While the primary purpose of this course is to assist engineers in writing technical documentation, I find that some of the advice also applies to engineering blogging.
By implementing the principles taught in this course, engineers can enhance their blog posts, making them more accessible and engaging for their audience. They will be able to better communicate their ideas and concepts, as well as increase their overall visibility.
Here, I will detail the advice I found most useful when it comes to engineering blogging.
## A brief demonstration
To give you a taste of what Google’s technical writing course has to offer, let’s apply the advice to a short text first.
Consider the following technical blog post extract, revised using tips gleaned from the course…
**Original**: _“It was supposed to be an exciting project. But the development team and the product team encountered issues when discussing the new ANN. They realized that the documentation was lacking, which made it difficult for them to understand the functionality. Concerns about the scalability of the system were also noted; and there was a need for further testing to ensure that all components work together seamlessly. Additionally, there was a lack of clarity regarding the roles and responsibilities within the team.”_
**Enhanced**: _“The development team and the product team faced challenges discussing the new artificial neural network (ANN). The development team realized that incomplete documentation hindered their understanding of its functionality. Concerns about system scalability arose as well. Extensive testing was necessary to ensure seamless integration of all components. Additionally, ambiguity persisted regarding team roles and responsibilities.”_
Are you convinced?
Let’s review the improvements made to the original text one by one:
- Acronym usage: In the original text, the acronym _“ANN”_ was used without prior introduction of its full form, _“artificial neural network.”_ Therefore, in the enhanced version, we wrote out the full term followed by the acronym.
- Ambiguous pronouns: The pronoun _“they”_ could refer to either the development team or the product team. In the enhanced text, _“they”_ is replaced with _“the development team,”_ providing clarity and ensuring that readers understand who is being referred to.
- Active voice: The original text contained a passive voice construction, which can make sentences less engaging and direct. So _“Concerns about the scalability of the system were also noted”_ was replaced by _“Concerns about system scalability arose as well.”_
- There is/there are: The usage of _“there was”_ sentence structure has been reduced to make the sentences more appealing.
- Opening sentence strength: The opening sentence in the original text lacked clarity and failed to establish the central idea of the paragraph effectively.
- The semicolon was not used correctly in the original text as it separated two independent thoughts. A period replaces it in the enhanced text.
- Style guide consistency: _“Artificial neural network”_ is written in lowercase in the enhanced text to follow the Google style guide, which prefers lowercase for terms that are not proper nouns.
Having said that, if you have a few more minutes to spend with me, I would like to review each piece of advice in more detail…
## Use acronyms properly
When first using an unfamiliar acronym in an article, write out the full term followed by the acronym in parentheses. After this, you can use the acronym alone.
For example:
_“This manual is for researchers new to the artificial neural network (ANN) or those needing to optimize ANN parameters through programming scripts.”_
But should you systematically use acronyms?
Acronyms can shorten sentences, of course, but they can add a layer of abstraction, requiring readers to mentally expand them to their full form, which can take longer to process.
Consider these rules when deciding whether to use an acronym:
- Is the acronym significantly shorter than the full term?
- Does the article contain multiple references to the acronym?
- Is the acronym central to the main topic?
On the other hand, remember that spelling out an acronym doesn’t always help the reader understand it. If you write out _“portable document format”_ instead of _“PDF,”_ the reader will not understand what it is. In other words, not all acronyms should be spelled out.
## Avoid ambiguous pronouns
Ambiguous pronouns can create confusion in technical writing, as they may refer to more than one antecedent or be unclear about what they reference.
For instance, consider the sentence: _“When the engineer talked to the developer, they explained the problem.”_ It’s unclear whether _“they”_ refers to the engineer or the developer.
Here are some guidelines for pronoun usage:
- Use pronouns only after the noun has been introduced.
- Make sure the pronoun is as close as possible to the corresponding noun. If your noun and pronoun are separated by more than five words, consider repeating the noun instead.
- Whenever you introduce a second noun between your noun and pronoun, use your noun instead of a pronoun.
## Choose the active voice over the passive voice
Use the active voice as much as possible. Use the passive voice with caution.
The active voice offers the following advantages:
- The majority of readers mentally convert the passive voice into the active voice.
- The passive voice obscures your ideas.
- Sentences using the passive voice sometimes leave out the actor entirely, which leaves the reader guessing who they are.
- In general, active voice sentences are shorter than passive voice ones.
## Reduce the number of times you use “there is”/“there are”
Sentences that start with _“there is”_ or _“there are”_ combine a generic noun with a generic verb, which doesn’t keep the reader hooked. Provide your readers with an actual subject and verb.
As an alternative, you could simply delete _“there is”_ or _“there are”_ (along with another word or two later in the sentence).
For example, consider the following sentence…
**Original**: _“There is a significant difference between theory and practice.”_
**Enhanced**: _“A significant difference exists between theory and practice.”_
In other situations, starting sentences with _“there is”_ or _“there are”_ avoids the hassle of creating true subjects or verbs. Replacing them with a meaningful subject creates a clearer experience for the reader.
**Original**: _“The updates are not guaranteed to be received chronologically.”_
**Enhanced**: _“Clients might not receive the updates chronologically.”_
## Write a strong opening sentence for paragraphs
The opening sentence is one of the most important ones in a paragraph. Busy readers tend to focus on opening sentences and skip what comes afterwards. The central idea of a paragraph should be established in the opening sentence.
**Original**: _“A block of code is any set of contiguous code within the same function. For example, suppose you wrote a block of code that detected whether an input line ended with a period. To evaluate a million input lines, create a loop that runs a million times.”_
**Enhanced**: _“A loop runs the same block of code multiple times. For example, suppose you wrote a block of code that detected whether an input line ended with a period. To evaluate a million input lines, create a loop that runs a million times.”_
## Use punctuation appropriately
### Periods
Periods are used to separate independent thoughts.
Example: _“The engineers completed the structural analysis of the bridge. They then proceeded to finalize the detailed design plans.”_
### Commas
Commas indicate a pause between parts of a sentence.
Examples:
- Items in a list: _“We need to purchase servers, storage devices, and network cables.”_
- Introductory phrase: _“After analyzing the data, we made the decision.”_
- Non-essential information: _“Our software, which is open-source, is highly customizable.”_
### Semicolons
Semicolons link closely related independent clauses.
Example: _“The application crashed; the server needed a reboot.”_
To be noted: The thoughts before and after the semicolon must both be grammatically complete sentences.
### Em dashes
An em dash indicates a longer pause than a comma.
Example: _“The new feature — while not perfect — has significantly improved user experience.”_
### Parentheses
Parentheses enclose additional information or asides that are not essential to the main point.
Example: _“The new protocol (which we tested extensively) has been implemented.”_
## Adopt an established style guide
A style guide ensures consistency in your writing, covering aspects like tone, terminology, formatting, and punctuation. Adopting a style guide can help maintain a professional and cohesive voice across all your blog posts.
Style guides are time-consuming to set up and maintain, so it is recommended to adopt a recognized one and modify it as necessary.
Popular style guides for an engineering-focused audience include:
- [Google developer documentation style guide](https://developers.google.com/style)
- [Microsoft Writing Style Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/welcome/)
- [SUSE Documentation Style Guide](https://documentation.suse.com/style/current/single-html/docu_styleguide/)
- [Apple Style Guide](https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/applestyleguide/welcome/web)
- [Red Hat supplementary style guide for product documentation](https://redhat-documentation.github.io/supplementary-style-guide/)
## Going further
In conclusion, Google’s technical writing course offers valuable insights applicable to engineering blogs. By implementing the principles learned, engineers can increase their audience engagement.
To take things a step further, make sure before you write your blog post to understand and define your target audience to ensure that your content is tailored appropriately. Adapting your language, depth of explanation, and content structure accordingly ensures that your message is clear and relevant. So before writing, always ask yourself: Who is my primary audience? What level of knowledge do they have about the subject? What information do they need to know? How can I present this information in a way that is engaging and easy to understand?
If you want to improve your technical writing with additional tips, don’t hesitate to consult the Google technical writing course!

Why It's Important:
Semantic HTML improves accessibility, SEO, and maintainability. It helps screen readers understand the structure of a webpage and search engines to better index the content.
Tip:
Learn and use semantic HTML tags. They provide meaning to your markup, making it easier to read and more accessible.
Overcomplicating CSS
Mistake:
Beginners often write overly complex and redundant CSS. They might use too many classes, excessive nesting in pre-processors like SASS, or not use the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
Why It's Important:
Simpler CSS is easier to maintain and understand. Overly complex stylesheets can lead to specificity wars, where styles conflict and become difficult to manage.
Tip:
Keep your CSS simple and organized. Use a methodology like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) to maintain consistency and readability. Leverage CSS variables and modularize your styles to avoid redundancy.
Not Using Responsive Design
Mistake:
Designing only for desktop and neglecting mobile users. Some beginners forget to make their websites responsive, leading to a poor user experience on mobile devices.
Why It's Important:
With a significant portion of web traffic coming from mobile devices, ensuring your site looks and functions well on all screen sizes is crucial.
Tip:
Use responsive design techniques such as flexible grids, media queries, and responsive images. Tools like Bootstrap or CSS Grid can help create responsive layouts easily.
Poor JavaScript Practices
Mistake:
Writing inefficient, unoptimized JavaScript code. Common issues include not handling errors properly, ignoring asynchronous programming, or not modularizing code.
Why It's Important:
Efficient and clean JavaScript improves performance and maintainability. Poor practices can lead to slow, buggy applications that are difficult to debug and extend.
Tip:
Follow best practices such as using modern ES6+ features, understanding asynchronous programming (promises, async/await), and organizing code into modules. Utilize tools like linters (ESLint) to enforce coding standards.
Ignoring Version Control
Mistake:
Not using version control systems like Git. Some beginners work on their projects without any version control, risking loss of progress and making collaboration difficult.
Why It's Important:
Version control allows you to track changes, collaborate with others, and revert to previous states of your project if something goes wrong.
Tip:
Learn the basics of Git and GitHub. Start using version control from the beginning of your projects to manage your code effectively and collaborate with others.
Not Testing Enough
Mistake:
Skipping testing or not writing sufficient tests for their code. Beginners might overlook the importance of testing due to the perceived complexity or time consumption.
Why It's Important:
Testing ensures your code works as expected and reduces the likelihood of bugs. It provides a safety net for making changes and refactoring code.
Tip:
Incorporate testing into your workflow. Start with unit tests for individual functions and components, and progress to integration and end-to-end tests. Tools like Jest for JavaScript and Mocha for Node.js can help you get started.
Neglecting Performance Optimization
Mistake:
Overlooking the performance aspects of a website. Beginners might not pay attention to factors like image optimization, minimizing HTTP requests, or reducing the size of CSS and JavaScript files.
Why It's Important:
Performance directly impacts user experience and SEO. Slow websites can frustrate users and lead to higher bounce rates.
Tip:
Optimize images, use lazy loading, minify CSS and JavaScript files, and leverage browser caching. Tools like Lighthouse can help you audit and improve your website's performance.
Conclusion
Avoiding these common mistakes can significantly enhance your journey as a frontend developer. Focus on writing semantic HTML, keeping CSS simple, designing responsively, following good JavaScript practices, using version control, testing thoroughly, and optimizing performance. By doing so, you'll create more robust, maintainable, and user-friendly web applications.
