title: Elixir: map casting to structs (with checks at compile time!)
cover_image: https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/wka79oe5i0zwsfjvkmt3.png
published: true
---
## Intro
In this article you will learn:
- how to leverage compile-time validation of maps to be merged later with %struct{}, that can save you time and hassle after the deployment
- review popular runtime validation functions
- how to use a macro to do the same **at compile time (!)**
- import KeyValidator library to your project from HEX: https://hex.pm/packages/key_validator
## Runtime validations
Elixir and Ecto has built-in functions that perform the key validity check of maps, but only at runtime:
- `Kernel.struct/2`
- `Kernel.struct!/2`
- `Ecto.Query.select_merge/3`
### Kernel.struct!/2
Let's take a look at the following example:
```elixir
defmodule User do
defstruct name: "john"
end
# Following line is a runtime only check:
Kernel.struct!(User, %{name: "Jakub"})
#=> %User{name: "Jakub"}
# Runtime error on key typo:
Kernel.struct!(User, %{nam__e: "Jakub"})
#=> ** (KeyError) key :nam__e not found
```
The expression `Kernel.struct!(User, %{name: "Jakub"})` uses a map literal (`%{name: "Jakub"}`). The User struct definition is known beforehand, as well as the map structure. However, the comparison between the keys in the `User` struct and the map literal will only take place during when the app is running and the code getting actually executed. Thus, any potential typo in the key will be discovered only at runtime.
### Ecto.Query.API.select_merge/3
A similar situation takes place when using a popular `Ecto.Query.select_merge/3` for populating `virtual fields` in schemas:
```elixir
defmodule Post do
use Ecto.Schema
schema "posts" do
field :author_firstname, :string
field :author_lastname, :string
field :author, :string, virtual_field: true
end
end
defmodule Posts do
import KeyValidator
def list_posts do
Post
|> select_merge([p], %{author: p.author_firstname <> " " <> p.author_lastname})
|> Repo.all()
end
end
Posts.list_posts()
```
In the provided example, `Post` schema contains a `:author` virtual field. We want to store a concatenated value of the post's author first name and the last name populated in the query. The `select_merge` will merge the given expression with query results.
If the result of the query is a struct (in our case `Post`) and in we are merging a map (in our case `%{author: data}` literal), we need to assert that all the keys from the map exist in the struct. To achieve this, Ecto uses [`Ecto.Query.API.merge/2`](https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.Query.API.html#merge/2) underneath:
> If the map on the left side is a struct, Ecto will check all the fields on the right previously exist on the left before merging.
This, however, is done in **runtime only** again. You will learn whether the map keys conform to the struct key when the particular line of code got executed.
## Compile-time validation
In certain situations, the conformity between map/keyword keys could be already checked at the compile-time.
One example when we can potentially leverage the compile-time validations is when we work with map/keyword **literals** in our code. These literals are provided directly in the Elixir's AST structure during compilation process. We can build on this fact if our **intention is to use the map for casting onto structs at some point in our code**.
We deal with map or keyword literals when the structure is given **inline**:
```elixir
# Map literal:
%{name: "Jakub", lastname: "Lambrych"}
# Keyword literal
[name: "Jakub", lastname: "Lambrych"]
```
In contrast, the following expressions do not allow us to work with literals when invoking merging maps with struct:
```elixir
# map is assigned to a variable
m = %{name: "Artur"}
# Function invoked with variable "m" and not a "map literal".
# No opportunity for compile check.
Kernel.struct(User, m)
```
## Use `KeyValidator` macro for compile-time checks
In the following example, `User` module together with the map literal is defined at the compile time. We will leverage the power of compile-time macros whenever our intention is to use a particular map/keyword literal to be merged at some point with a struct.
To support this, I developed a small `KeyValidator.for_struct/2` macro (available on [Hex](https://hex.pm/packages/key_validator)). Let's see how we can use it:
```elixir
defmodule User do
defstruct name: "john"
end
import KeyValidator
# Succesfull validation. Returns the map:
user_map = for_struct(User, %{name: "Jakub"})
#=> %{name: "Jakub"}
Kernel.struct!(User, user_map)
#=> %User{name: "Jakub"}
# Compile time error on "nam__e:" key typo:
user_map2 = for_struct(User, %{nam__e: "Jakub"})
#=>** (KeyError) Key :name_e not found in User
```
The `KeyValidator.for_struct/2` can be also used with `Ecto.Query.select_merge/3` to populate `virtual_fields`:
```elixir
defmodule Posts do
import KeyValidator
def list_posts do
Post
|> select_merge([p], for_struct(Post, %{authorrr: "Typo"}))
|> Repo.all()
end
end
Posts.list_posts()
#=> ** (KeyError) Key :authorrr not found in Post
```
The above code will raise a `Key Error` during compilation.
## Install `KeyValidator` from Hex
For convenience, I wrapped the macro in library. It is available on hex with documentation:
https://hex.pm/packages/key_validator
You can add it as a dependency to your project:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:key_validator, "~> 0.1.0", runtime: false}
]
end
```
## Source code
Macro code together with `ExUnit` tests can be accessed at the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/utopos/key_validator
## Summary
Using metaprogramming in Elixir (macros) give you an opportunity to analyze the Elixir's AST and perform some checks of structs, maps and keywords before deploying your code.
Adding `KeyValidator.for_struct/2` macro to your project, allows some category of key conformity errors to be caught at an early stage in the development workflow. No need to wait until the code to crashes at runtime. It can be expensive and time-consuming to fix bugs caused by simple typos - i.e. when map keys are misspelled.
Although the macro usage covers some scenarios, we need to bear in mind that it is not a silver bullet. The `KeyValidator` cannot accept dynamic variables due to the nature of Elixir macros. Only map/keyword literals are accepted as their content can be accessed during AST expansion phase of Elixir compilation process.

## Downloading the Capture File and Understanding the Assignment
1. Download the .pcap file from [pcap.](https://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2022/01/07/index.html)
2. Familiarize yourself with the assignment instructions.
## LAN segment data:
LAN segment range: 192.168.1[.]0/24 (192.168.1[.]0 through 192.168.1[.]255)
Domain: spoonwatch[.]net
Domain controller: 192.168.1[.]9 - SPOONWATCH-DC
LAN segment gateway: 192.168.1[.]1
LAN segment broadcast address: 192.168.1[.]255
## OUR TASK:
Write an incident report based on the pcap and the alerts.
The incident report should contain the following:
**Executive Summary:** State in simple, direct terms what happened (when, who, what).
**Details:** Details of the victim (hostname, IP address, MAC address, Windows user account name).
**Indicators of Compromise (IOCs):** IP addresses, domains and URLs associated with the infection. SHA256 hashes if any malware binaries can be extracted from the pcap.
## Identifying the Infected Host
This is my method for finding the infected host in a PCAP file, though it may not always guarantee accurate results.
1. In Wireshark, go to Statistics > Endpoint > IPv4.
2. Identify the IP associated with the most transferred packets within your LAN. This is likely the compromised host.
## Investigating the PCAP
The compromised host communicated with the malicious server. Applying Brad Duncan's popular basic filter:
(http.request || tls.handshake.type eq 1) && !(ssdp)
Using this filter, we found direct communication between the source IP 192.168.1.216 and the destination IP 2.56.57.108. Several POST requests were sent to 2.56.57.108.
The IP address 2.56.57.108 is associated with [an EXE sample tagged as OskiStealer at bazaar.abuse.ch](https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/c30ce79d7b5b0708dc03f1532fa89afd4efd732531cb557dc31fe63acd5bc1ce/#iocs) However, these transferred files were found to be non-malicious by the popular platform VirusTotal.
## Packet Analysis
Viewing the packet content indicates malicious activity. The analysis returned DLL files from the .jpg URLs. Despite not being inherently malicious, they are considered Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) because they signify a specific type of infection.
There was also a ZIP file transferred. We can extract this ZIP file and edit it in a hex editor, removing the header and footer from the binary to focus on the payload data. This payload may contain valuable information such as sensitive data or communication details. After editing, we save the file and examine the payload. You may find several folders and files with names like "password.txt," "system.txt," "screenshot.jpg," and "cookies," indicating stolen data.
If you need guidance on extracting files, you can refer to this video: [Extracting ZIP files from PCAP with Wireshhark & NetworkMiner](https://bit.ly/3VjN1L4)
you can also view those dll file in the NetworkMiner.
## Final report:
**Executive Summary**
On 2022-01-07 at approximately 16:07 UTC, a Windows host used by Steve Smith was infected with OskiStealer malware.
**Details**
MAC address: 95:5c:8e:32:58:f9
IP address: 192.168.1.216
Host name: DESKTOP-GXMYNO2

---
Observing WebAssembly applications presents unique challenges that stem from its design and execution environment. Unlike traditional web applications, where monitoring tools can hook directly into JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM), WebAssembly runs as binary code executed within the browser's sandbox. This layer of abstraction complicates direct introspection, as traditional monitoring tools are not designed to interact with the lower-level operations of WebAssembly. The [Bytecode Alliance](https://bytecodealliance.org/) plays a crucial role here, promoting standards and tools that aim to enhance the security and usability of WebAssembly, including better support for observability. Moreover, the performance characteristics of WebAssembly, which can closely approach native speeds, demand monitoring solutions that are both highly efficient and minimally invasive to avoid impacting the user experience. This creates a complex scenario for developers who need detailed visibility into their applications' behavior without sacrificing performance.
## Blazor WebAssembly: Leveraging .NET in the browser
[.NET Blazor WebAssembly](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/?view=aspnetcore-8.0) is a cutting-edge framework that allows developers to build interactive client-side web UIs using .NET rather than JavaScript. By compiling C# code into WebAssembly, Blazor WebAssembly empowers developers to leverage the full-stack capabilities of .NET, utilizing the same language and libraries on both the server and client sides. This unique approach streamlines the development process and enables rich, responsive user experiences with significant performance benefits.
With the release of .NET 8, Blazor WebAssembly has introduced new rendering modes that enhance flexibility and performance across diverse deployment scenarios. These modes include:
- **Static server rendering** (also called static server-side rendering or static SSR) to generate static HTML on the server.
- **Interactive server rendering** (also called interactive server-side rendering or interactive SSR) to generate interactive components with prerendering on the server.
- **Interactive WebAssembly rendering** (also called client-side rendering or CSR, which is always assumed to be interactive) to generate interactive components on the client with prerendering on the server.
- **Interactive auto (automatic) rendering** to initially use the server-side ASP.NET Core runtime for content rendering and interactivity. The .NET WebAssembly runtime on the client is used for subsequent rendering and interactivity after the Blazor bundle is downloaded and the WebAssembly runtime activates. Interactive auto rendering usually provides the fastest app startup experience.
The auto rendering mode in particular make Blazor WebAssembly an even more compelling choice for developers who are looking to build modern web applications using .NET technologies.
This blog post focuses specifically on Blazor WebAssembly and explores its capabilities and practical applications in modern web development.
## Enhancing Blazor WebAssembly observability with OpenTelemetry in .NET
In this exploration of Blazor WebAssembly, we delve into how OpenTelemetry (sometimes referred to as OTel) can be integrated with .NET to provide comprehensive observability for these applications. OpenTelemetry, a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation, allows developers to collect and export telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs to analyze the performance and health of applications. For .NET developers, the integration with OpenTelemetry is particularly seamless, as all telemetry for .NET is considered stable, ensuring reliability and robust support across various deployment scenarios.
## Exploring a sample Blazor WebAssembly application
In this blog post, we'll be utilizing a sample application that embodies the principles of Blazor WebAssembly combined with OpenTelemetry. The application, which can be found in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/harrykimpel/dotnet-blazor-samples/tree/main/8.0/BlazorWebAssemblyStandaloneWithIdentity), serves as an excellent example of a standalone Blazor WebAssembly application. This practical example will serve as the foundation for our discussion on implementing and observing OpenTelemetry in a .NET environment. By dissecting this application, we can better understand the interaction between Blazor’s client-side component as a Blazor WebAssembly application running in the browser and a Blazor WebAssembly backend application that the web frontend talks to.
## Automated and manual instrumentation of the backend
When deploying OpenTelemetry in a Blazor WebAssembly application, automated instrumentation becomes a pivotal component, particularly when interfacing with the .NET backend. OpenTelemetry's .NET libraries offer out-of-the-box instrumentation for ASP.NET Core, which effortlessly captures telemetry data such as HTTP requests, database queries, and much more. This automated process simplifies the task of implementing comprehensive monitoring, as it requires minimal manual configuration and coding. Additionally, integrating OpenTelemetry into your project is as straightforward as adding the respective NuGet packages to your solution.
For developers working with Blazor WebAssembly, this means enhanced visibility into the backend operations that power their applications. Automated instrumentation ensures that all relevant data transactions between the client and server are meticulously monitored, providing insights into performance metrics and potential bottlenecks. By leveraging this feature, developers can focus more on building features and less on the intricacies of setting up and maintaining observability infrastructure, making it easier to deliver high-performance, reliable applications.
The project file for the .NET Blazor WebAssembly backend looks like this (you can find the full [project file in the repository](https://github.com/harrykimpel/dotnet-blazor-samples/blob/main/8.0/BlazorWebAssemblyStandaloneWithIdentity/Backend/Backend.csproj)):
```dotnet
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol" Version="1.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="1.0.0-beta.9" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Runtime" Version="1.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry" Version="1.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.AutoInstrumentation.Runtime.Native" Version="1.5.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console" Version="1.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting" Version="1.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore" Version="1.8.1" />
<PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http" Version="1.8.1" />
```
When running the Blazor backend with automated OpenTelemetry instrumentation and exporting the telemetry to the console, we can easily see the traces, metrics, and logs as part of the console output (here in VS Code terminal).
But looking at telemetry such as traces, metrics, and logs in the console output is not really helpful. So, ideally, we want to export that data to an OpenTelemetry telemetry backend. I am of course using New Relic.
In a typical OpenTelemetry fashion, I only need to provide a few environment variables when executing the application. I highlighted the most important ones in the below screenshot. You can find the full [run script in the repository](https://github.com/harrykimpel/dotnet-blazor-samples/blob/main/8.0/BlazorWebAssemblyStandaloneWithIdentity/Backend/run.sh).
Once the application is up and running, you find the application entity in APM & Services under the OpenTelemetry section. The screenshot below shows the **Summary** view.
**Distributed Tracing** view:
View of a single trace (I highlighted the backend span to **/roles** endpoint):
When you look at the above span to the **BlazorWASMBackend** service **GET /roles**, you’ll notice that the total time spent in the backend span is 4.61s. We cannot really tell where exactly the time is spent. Out of the box, when using auto instrumentation, I don’t get further detail into what is actually happening in that method.
In order for me to provide more details into that method, I’ll need to add some manual instrumentation into my source code by leveraging the OpenTelemetry SDK for .NET.
In this case, I changed the original code of the ```app.MapGet("/roles", …``` method from this original implementation:
```dotnet
// Instantiate random number generator using system-supplied value as seed.
var rand = new Random();
int waitTime = rand.Next(500, 5000);
// do some heavy lifting work
Thread.Sleep(waitTime);
```
and added in some .NET-specific implementation of a custom OpenTelemetry span:
```dotnet
// Instantiate random number generator using system-supplied value as seed.
var rand = new Random();
int waitTime = rand.Next(500, 5000);
using (var sleepActivity = DiagnosticsConfig.ActivitySource.StartActivity("RolesHeavyLiftingSleep"))
{
// do some heavy lifting work
Thread.Sleep(waitTime);
string waitMsg = string.Format(@"ChildActivty simulated wait ({0}ms)", waitTime);
sleepActivity?.SetTag("simulatedWaitMsg", waitMsg);
sleepActivity?.SetTag("simulatedWaitTimeMs", waitTime);
DiagnosticsConfig.logger.LogInformation(eventId: 123, waitMsg);
}
```
The using-block actually triggers a new span to be created with the name **RolesHeavyLiftingSleep**. I save the activity into the **sleepActivity** variable. You’ll further notice that I’m also adding some custom tags to that same activity by calling **sleepActivity?.SetTag()**.
We can see in the screenshot below what the result of that change looks like if we restart our application.
The trace in the screenshot above allows me to drill deeper into the backend span by enabling the in-process spans. In here, we can see that there’s a **RolesParentActivity**, followed by a **RolesChildActivity**, and finally our **RolesHeavyLiftingSleep** span from our manual instrumentation. This screenshot also shows a section of the attributes that are associated with that span. As you can see, the custom tags **simulatedWaitTimeMs** and **simulatedWaitMsg** are visible as well. These custom tags are potentially helpful when doing some root cause analysis or troubleshooting.
## Instrumentation of the frontend
Now that we’ve seen how the backend can be instrumented with OpenTelemetry, let’s focus on the frontend now, that is, the Blazor WebAssembly component.
When we try to instrument the WebAssembly component with auto instrumentation for OpenTelemetry, the [C# project file](https://github.com/harrykimpel/dotnet-blazor-samples/blob/main/8.0/BlazorWebAssemblyStandaloneWithIdentity/BlazorWasmAuth/BlazorWasmAuth.csproj) looks similar to the backend. This is actually the benefit of Blazow WebAssembly—that we can use C# not only for the backend, but also for the WebAssembly frontend.
Let’s configure the console exporter again for our OpenTelemetry telemetry. Unsurprisingly, the output will be visible in the respective developer tools of our web browser.
The screenshot above shows the actual UI of the Blazor WebAssembly frontend in the upper section of the screenshot. If the user of the application clicks the **Click me** button, a trace is generated and output in the browsers console view.
Again, this is adequate for testing, but in order to actually leverage the telemetry in a meaningful way, we need to export all telemetry to an OpenTelemetry backend, in my case New Relic. For this to happen, we need to define an OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) exporter and configure the OTLP endpoint as well as the OTLP header information similar to what we’ve seen for the backend.
But wait; as soon as we implement these changes and rerun the application, an exception is generated.
The exception is **Operation is not supported on this platform**. If we think about it, it does make sense since we’re trying to make a HTTP request from our WebAssembly component to an external endpoint. However, since WebAssembly by itself doesn't have any access to its host environment, it doesn't have any built-in input/output (I/O) capabilities. For security reasons, it’s not possible to make HTTP requests from within a WebAssembly component.
So, if plain OpenTelemetry instrumentation isn’t possible, what is it that we can do for the frontend then?
As part of OpenTelemetry, the community is also working on some real user monitoring capabilities.
However, this is very early stages and not fully spec’d out. The current draft is also only focusing on Node.js and TypeScript. In the future this may be an option that could be leveraged for the frontend component.
One way to get details of the WebAssembly component is to leverage real user monitoring capabilities via the New Relic browser.
After getting the JavaScript snippet from a newly created New Relic browser application copied into the Blazor WebAssembly project ([this](https://github.com/harrykimpel/dotnet-blazor-samples/blob/main/8.0/BlazorWebAssemblyStandaloneWithIdentity/BlazorWasmAuth/wwwroot/newrelic.js) is the place to put it), we can already see some high-level telemetry from the frontend.
**Distributed tracing** view:
**AJAX** requests:
What else can we do with the frontend? Some parts of the frontend will have interactions with the backend (like login and logout authentication). Other parts just execute code within the WebAssembly component. An example of this is the **Counter** section.
As you can see in the page source of that page, there’s no actual HTML representation.
Let’s see what we can do there.
One way is to invoke JavaScript functions from the actual .NET code. The following screenshot shows how this can be achieved (here is the link to the **respective file** in the repository).
The New Relic browser API allows users to add some custom page actions. This way we can observe all clicks on the counter and also capture the current value of the counter as a custom attribute.
Once we’ve implemented this and deployed a new release of the application, we can for example show this data on a custom dashboard to see the distribution of the actual counter values across all users of the application.
Furthermore, New Relic quickstarts, also known as Instant Observability, contain a sample dashboard that you can deploy into your account in order to see some additional Blazor WebAssembly specific telemetry in a pre-built dashboard.
## Next steps
Observing Blazor WebAssembly applications is not quite straightforward as of today. There are many moving parts that the industry and the respective open-source communities are working on. This applies to the WebAssembly component model, as well as the OpenTelemetry implementation of real user monitoring. I think these challenges will soon be solved and there will be easier ways to get started.
Until then, in this blog post I showed a way to get some insights into your Blazor WebAssembly backend and frontend components.
New Relic provides a [free account](https://newrelic.com/signup?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=global-fy25-q1-devtoupdates) that you can use to get started with your journey on observing Blazor WebAssembly applications.

1,882,887 | Laravel'de Pivot Tablo Oluşturma Rehberi | Laravel, güçlü ve esnek bir framework olup, veri tabanı ilişkileri konusunda oldukça kullanışlı... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:55:26 | https://dev.to/baris/laravelde-pivot-tablo-olusturma-rehberi-2af9 | Laravel, güçlü ve esnek bir framework olup, veri tabanı ilişkileri konusunda oldukça kullanışlı araçlar sunar. Bu rehberde, pivot tabloları anlamaya ve Laravel'de nasıl kullanılacağını öğrenmeye odaklanacağız.
#### Pivot Tablo Nedir?
Pivot tablolar, birçokdan çoğa (many-to-many) ilişkilerini temsil eden yardımcı tablolardır. Örneğin, `users` ve `roles` tabloları arasında birçokdan çoğa bir ilişki varsa, pivot tablo bu iki tablo arasındaki bağlantıyı sağlar.
Bir örnekle açıklayalım: Bir kullanıcı (user) birden fazla role sahip olabilir ve bir rol birden fazla kullanıcıya atanabilir. Bu tür bir ilişkiyi yönetmek için pivot tablo kullanırız.
#### Pivot Tablo Ne Zaman ve Ne Amaçla Kullanılır?
Pivot tablolar, aşağıdaki durumlarda kullanılır:
- **Çoktan Çoğa İlişkiler:** Bir tablo satırının başka bir tablo satırıyla birden çok ilişkisi varsa kullanılır. Örneğin, `users` ve `roles` tabloları.
- **Orta Tablolar:** İki tablo arasındaki ek bilgileri saklamak için kullanılır. Örneğin, bir kullanıcı bir rolü ne zaman aldığı gibi ekstra bilgileri saklamak.
#### Laravel'de Pivot Tablo Oluşturmanın Kuralları ve İsimlendirme
Pivot tablo oluştururken dikkat edilmesi gereken bazı kurallar ve isimlendirme standartları vardır:
1. **Pivot Tablonun Adı:** Laravel, pivot tablo adını oluştururken iki tablo adını alfabetik sıraya göre birleştirir. Örneğin, `users` ve `roles` tablosu için pivot tablo adı `role_user` olur.
2. **Pivot Tablonun Sütunları:** Pivot tablo genellikle iki yabancı anahtar içerir. Bu anahtarlar ilgili tablolara referans verir. Örneğin, `role_user` tablosu `user_id` ve `role_id` sütunlarını içerir.
#### Adım Adım Laravel'de Pivot Tablo Oluşturma
##### 1. Adım: Modelleri ve İlişkileri Tanımlama
Öncelikle, `User` ve `Role` modellerini tanımlayalım ve ilişkileri belirtelim:
```php
// User.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class);
}
}
// Role.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Role extends Model
{
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(User::class);
}
}
```
##### 2. Adım: Pivot Tabloyu Oluşturma
Artık pivot tablomuzu oluşturabiliriz. Bunun için bir migration dosyası oluşturacağız:
```bash
php artisan make:migration create_role_user_table --create=role_user
```
Bu komut, `database/migrations` klasöründe bir migration dosyası oluşturur. Bu dosyayı açalım ve pivot tablo yapısını tanımlayalım:
```php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateRoleUserTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('role_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreignId('role_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('role_user');
}
}
```
##### 3. Adım: Migration'ı Çalıştırma
Pivot tabloyu oluşturmak için migration dosyasını çalıştırmamız gerekiyor:
```bash
php artisan migrate
```
Bu komut, pivot tabloyu veri tabanında oluşturur.
##### 4. Adım: Pivot Tablo Kullanımı
Pivot tabloyu kullanarak veri ekleyebilir, güncelleyebilir ve silebiliriz. İşte birkaç örnek:
```php
// Rolü bir kullanıcıya atama
$user = User::find(1);
$role = Role::find(1);
$user->roles()->attach($role->id);
// Kullanıcıdan rolü kaldırma
$user->roles()->detach($role->id);
// Kullanıcıya birden fazla rol atama
$user->roles()->attach([2, 3, 4]);
// Pivot tablo üzerinden ek bilgi ekleme
$user->roles()->attach($role->id, ['assigned_at' => now()]);
```
#### Sonuç
Pivot tablolar, birçokdan çoğa ilişkileri yönetmenin en etkili yoludur. Laravel, bu süreci kolaylaştıran birçok araç ve özellik sunar. Bu rehberde, pivot tabloların ne olduğunu, ne zaman ve nasıl kullanıldığını öğrendik. Ayrıca Laravel'de pivot tablo oluşturmayı ve kullanmayı adım adım inceledik. Umarım bu yazı, pivot tabloları kullanmanızda size yardımcı olur. | baris | |

It’s a fantastic game, and I’ve learned a lot from the experience.
## Foreword
The reason we decided to create this game was because we needed to generate more revenue. One day, my PO called the team together and said we had to make a new move. After spending a year working on hyper casual games such as **Popit Fidget 3D**, **Kick the Rainbow Friend**, and **Save the Dog**, we decided to venture into the simulation genre.
## The Background Story
We took inspiration from **My Mini Mart**. At first glance, there weren’t any games quite like it, especially with its unique outline shader. Some competitors didn’t use this technique, likely due to performance concerns.
## The Technique I Used
At that time, we used [Quibli](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/quibli-anime-shaders-and-tools-203178) for outline and cartoon shading. Writing an outline shader isn’t particularly difficult; it typically involves two passes:
```shader
Pass
{
Name "ForwardLit"
Tags
{
"LightMode" = "UniversalForwardOnly"
}
// ... shader code ...
}
Pass
{
Name "Outline"
Tags
{
//"LightMode" = "SRPDefaultUnlit"
"LightMode"="Outline"
}
Cull Front
// ... shader code ...
}
```
As you can see, it’s a multi-pass shader that Unity cannot batch. For instance, if it renders 10 apples, it will first render each apple individually, then render the outline for each apple, resulting in 20 draw calls.
Here’s the detailed draw call in the frame debugger:
The game had a GPU bottleneck. With the release date approaching, the optimization task was handed to me. Since we were using URP, I knew we could customize the render pipeline. I decided to try using a Rendering Feature. I created one and called it `RenderOutlineFeature`.
```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal;
public class RenderOutlineFeature : ScriptableRendererFeature
{
private RenderOutlinePass renderOutlinePass;
public Setting featureSetting = new Setting();
[System.Serializable]
public class Setting
{
public RenderPassEvent renderPassEvent = RenderPassEvent.AfterRenderingOpaques;
}
public override void AddRenderPasses(ScriptableRenderer renderer, ref RenderingData renderingData)
{
renderer.EnqueuePass(renderOutlinePass);
}
public override void Create()
{
renderOutlinePass = new RenderOutlinePass();
renderOutlinePass.renderPassEvent = featureSetting.renderPassEvent;
}
class RenderOutlinePass : ScriptableRenderPass
{
ShaderTagId outlineTag = new ShaderTagId("Outline");
FilteringSettings filteringSettings = new FilteringSettings(RenderQueueRange.opaque);
public override void Execute(ScriptableRenderContext context, ref RenderingData renderingData)
{
DrawingSettings drawingSettings = CreateDrawingSettings(outlineTag, ref renderingData, SortingCriteria.OptimizeStateChanges);
context.DrawRenderers(renderingData.cullResults, ref drawingSettings, ref filteringSettings);
}
}
}
```
We then went to the **Forward Renderer**, selected **Add Renderer Feature**, and chose **Render Outline Feature**.
After applying the Render Outline Feature, we achieved efficient Unity batching.
Total draw calls:
Opaque apple draw calls:
Outline apple draw calls:
## Result
I was thrilled to solve this issue. The GPU bottleneck was eliminated.
## Side Story
I contacted Quibli's publisher, DustyRoom, to ask if there was any way to optimize the shader.
Unfortunately, Unity does not support multipass batching (as I knew).
I tried using an outline image effect, but it worsened the game’s performance.
After finding the solution, I shared my idea with them.
They agreed with what I had done.

Author LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/venkatareddybhavanam/
Kong is a popular, lightweight, fast, and flexible cloud-native API gateway. One of the key benefits of using Kong is its ability to extend the core functionality with the help of plugins. Kong provides many inbuilt plugins out of the box, but we are not limited to them. One can develop a custom plugin for their use case and inject it into the request/response life cycle.
**Kong API Gateway (image Credits — KongHQ):**
Kong is a Lua application running on top of **Nginx** and **OpenResty**. So, it allows building custom plugins natively using Lua. Writing custom plugins in other languages like **Go**, **Javascript**, and **Python** is also possible.
Kong can be installed in several ways. You can install Kong in a VM, Docker, or Kubernetes cluster.
This blog doesn’t aim to teach you how to write a custom plugin but how to install a custom plugin in a VM-based mode of Kong installation. If you are interested in how to write a custom plugin, please check out the **Kong guides on plugin development**.
Ideally, you’d use **Pongo for custom plugin development**. Once the development is complete, you can use one of the following methods to deploy the plugin based on your mode of Kong installation.
**At a high level, a Kong plugin will have two files:**
1.**handler.lua:** This is where we write Lua functions that get called during different phases of the request/response life cycle. These are maps to Nginx worker life cycle methods.
2.**schema.lua:** This is where we define the plugin configuration as schema(A Lua table), add some validations, provide default values, etc.
For this example, we’ll take a simple plugin that returns the version of the plugin as a response header. Below is the code for handler.lua
```
local plugin = {
PRIORITY = 1000, -- set the plugin priority, which determines plugin execution order
VERSION = "0.1", -- version in X.Y.Z format. Check hybrid-mode compatibility requirements.
}
function plugin:init_worker()
kong.log.debug("saying hi from the 'init_worker' handler")
end
-- runs in the 'access_by_lua_block'
function plugin:access(plugin_conf)
kong.service.request.set_header(plugin_conf.request_header, "this is on a request")
end
-- runs in the 'header_filter_by_lua_block'
function plugin:header_filter(plugin_conf)
kong.response.set_header(plugin_conf.response_header, plugin.VERSION)
end
return plugin
```
and the schema.lua
```
local typedefs = require "kong.db.schema.typedefs"
local PLUGIN_NAME = "api-version"
local schema = {
name = "api-version",
fields = {
{ consumer = typedefs.no_consumer }, -- this plugin cannot be configured on a consumer (typical for auth plugins)
{ protocols = typedefs.protocols_http },
{ config = {
type = "record",
fields = {
{ request_header = typedefs.header_name {
required = true,
default = "Hello-World" } },
{ response_header = typedefs.header_name {
required = true,
default = "Bye-World" } },
},
entity_checks = {
{ at_least_one_of = { "request_header", "response_header" }, },
{ distinct = { "request_header", "response_header"} },
},
},
},
},
}
return schema
```
**Deploying a custom plugin on a VM:**
Please check this out to **install the Kong gateway on Ubuntu**. Once the installation is complete, ensure you can access the gateway at **http://localhost:8000**
**Install the API-version plugin:**
From the plugin folder, hit `luarocks make`
The default location for the Kong configuration is located at `/etc/kong/kong.conf` To tell Kong we want to install a custom plugin, add the plugin name to `plugins` config variable so that it looks like `plugins=bundled,custom-plugin-name` . In our case, it will be: `plugins=bundled,api-version`
And then restart Kong, `kong restart -c /etc/kong/kong.conf`
Once Kong is reloaded, the plugin should appear in the list of available plugins.
Installed custom plugin
We can enable the plugin globally or on a particular service/route.
Let’s create a service, route, and apply the plugin to the service to see it in action. We can create all these through the Kong manager UI, but we’ll use HTTPie to create these through the terminal.
```
http :8001/services name=mockbin url=https://mockbin.org Kong-Admin-Token:password
http -f :8001/services/mockbin/routes name=mock-route paths=/echo Kong-Admin-Token:password
http -f :8001/services/mockbin/plugins name=api-version Kong-Admin-Token:password
```
Now, if we request the /echo route, we can see the custom header that returns the plugin version in the response
```
http :8000/echo --headers
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Bye-World: 0.1
...
```
That’s how a custom plugin can be installed in a VM-based Kong installation. In the next post, we’ll see how to **install a custom plugin through Docker and Kubernetes**.

1,882,878 | Inheritance, Superclasses and Subclasses. | Object-oriented programming allows you to define new classes from existing classes. This is called... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:46:41 | https://dev.to/paulike/inheritance-superclasses-and-subclasses-5ede | java, programming, learning, beginners | Object-oriented programming allows you to define new classes from existing classes. This is called inheritance. The procedural paradigm focuses on designing methods and the object-oriented paradigm couples data and methods together into objects. Software design using the object-oriented paradigm focuses on objects and operations on objects. The object-oriented approach combines the power of the procedural paradigm with an added dimension that integrates data with operations into objects.
_Inheritance_ is an important and powerful feature for reusing software. Suppose you need to define classes to model circles, rectangles, and triangles. These classes have many common features. What is the best way to design these classes so as to avoid redundancy and make the system easy to comprehend and easy to maintain? The answer is to use inheritance.
## Superclasses and Subclasses
Inheritance enables you to define a general class (i.e., a superclass) and later extend it to more specialized classes (i.e., subclasses). You use a class to model objects of the same type. Different classes may have some common properties and behaviors, which can be generalized in a class that can be shared by other classes. You can define a specialized class that extends the generalized class. The specialized classes inherit the properties and methods from the general class.
Consider geometric objects. Suppose you want to design the classes to model geometric objects such as circles and rectangles. Geometric objects have many common properties and behaviors. They can be drawn in a certain color and be filled or unfilled. Thus a general class **GeometricObject** can be used to model all geometric objects. This class contains the properties **color** and **filled** and their appropriate getter and setter methods. Assume that this class also contains the **dateCreated** property and the **getDateCreated()** and **toString()** methods. The **toString()** method returns a string representation of the object. Since a circle is a special type of geometric object, it shares common properties and methods with other geometric objects. Thus it makes sense to define the **Circle** class that extends the **GeometricObject** class. Likewise, **Rectangle** can also be defined as a subclass of **GeometricObject**. Figure below shows the relationship among these classes. A triangular arrow pointing to the superclass is used to denote the inheritance relationship between the two classes involved.
In Java terminology, a class **C1** extended from another class **C2** is called a _subclass_, and **C2** is called a _superclass_. A superclass is also referred to as a _parent class_ or a _base class_, and a subclass as a _child class_, an _extended class_, or a _derived class_. A subclass inherits accessible data fields and methods from its superclass and may also add new data fields and methods.
The **Circle** class inherits all accessible data fields and methods from the **GeometricObject** class. In addition, it has a new data field, **radius**, and its associated getter and setter methods. The **Circle** class also contains the **getArea()**, **getPerimeter()**, and **getDiameter()** methods for returning the area, perimeter, and diameter of the circle.
The **Rectangle** class inherits all accessible data fields and methods from the **GeometricObject** class. In addition, it has the data fields **width** and **height** and their associated getter and setter methods. It also contains the **getArea()** and **getPerimeter()** methods for returning the area and perimeter of the rectangle.
The **GeometricObject**, **Circle**, and **Rectangle** classes are shown in the programs (a), (b), and (c). We’ll name these classes **SimpleGeometricObject**, **CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject**, and **RectangleFromSimpleGeometricObject** in this chapter. For simplicity, we will still refer to them in the text as **GeometricObject**, **Circle**, and **Rectangle** classes. The best way to avoid naming conflicts is to place these classes in different packages. However, for simplicity and consistency, all classes in this book are placed in the default package.
(a)
```
package demo;
public class SimpleGeometricObject {
private String color = "white";
private boolean filled;
private java.util.Date dateCreated;
/** Construct a default geometric object */
public SimpleGeometricObject() {
dateCreated = new java.util.Date();
}
/** Construct a geometric object with the specified color and filled value */
public SimpleGeometricObject(String color, boolean filled) {
dateCreated = new java.util.Date();
this.color = color;
this.filled = filled;
}
/** Return color */
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
/** Set a new color */
public void setColor(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
/** Return filled. SInce filled is boolean, its getter method is named isFIlled */
public boolean isFIlled() {
return filled;
}
/** Set a new filled */
public void setFilled(boolean filled) {
this.filled = filled;
}
/** Get dateCreated */
public java.util.Date getDateCreated() {
return dateCreated;
}
/** Return a string representation of this object */
public String toString() {
return "created on " + dateCreated + "\ncolor: " + color + " and filled: " + filled;
}
}
```
(b)
```
package demo;
public class CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject extends SimpleGeometricObject {
private double radius;
public CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject() {}
public CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject(double radius) {
this.radius = radius;
}
public CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject(double radius, String color, boolean filled) {
this.radius = radius;
setColor(color);
setFilled(filled);
}
/** Return radius */
public double getRadius() {
return radius;
}
/** Set a new radius */
public void setRadius(double radius) {
this.radius = radius;
}
/** Return area */
public double getArea() {
return radius * radius * Math.PI;
}
/** Return diameter */
public double getDiameter() {
return 2 * radius;
}
/** Return perimeter */
public double getPerimeter() {
return 2 * radius * Math.PI;
}
/** Print the circle info */
public void printCircle() {
System.out.println("The circle is created " + getDateCreated() + " and the radius is " + radius);
}
}
```
The **Circle** class (program (b)) extends the **GeometricObject** class (program (a)) using the following syntax:
The keyword **extends** (lines 3) tells the compiler that the **Circle** class extends the **GeometricObject** class, thus inheriting the methods **getColor**, **setColor**, **isFilled**, **setFilled**, and **toString**.
The overloaded constructor **Circle(double radius, String color, boolean
filled)** is implemented by invoking the **setColor** and **setFilled** methods to set the **color** and **filled** properties (lines 12–16). These two public methods are defined in the superclass **GeometricObject** and are inherited in **Circle**, so they can be used in the **Circle** class.
You might attempt to use the data fields **color** and **filled** directly in the constructor as follows:
`public CircleFromSimpleGeometricObject(
double radius, String color, boolean filled) {
this.radius = radius;
this.color = color; // Illegal
this.filled = filled; // Illegal
}`
This is wrong, because the private data fields **color** and **filled** in the **GeometricObject** class cannot be accessed in any class other than in the **GeometricObject** class itself. The only way to read and modify **color** and **filled** is through their getter and setter methods.
The **Rectangle** class (program (c)) extends the **GeometricObject** class (program (a)) using the following syntax:
The keyword **extends** (lines 3) tells the compiler that the **Rectangle** class extends the **GeometricObject** class, thus inheriting the methods **getColor**, **setColor**, **isFilled**, **setFilled**, and **toString**.
(c)
```
package demo;
public class RectangleFromSimpleGeometricObject extends SimpleGeometricObject {
private double width;
private double height;
public RectangleFromSimpleGeometricObject() {}
public RectangleFromSimpleGeometricObject(double width, double height) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
public RectangleFromSimpleGeometricObject(double width, double height, String color, boolean filled) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
setColor(color);
setFilled(filled);
}
/** Return width */
public double getWidth() {
return width;
}
/** Set a new width */
public void setWidth(double width) {
this.width = width;
}
/** Return height */
public double height() {
return height;
}
/** Set a new height */
public void setHeight(double height) {
this.height = height;
}
/** Return area */
public double getArea() {
return width * height;
}
/** Return perimeter */
public double getPerimeter() {
return 2 * (width + height);
}
}
```
The code in program below creates objects of **Circle** and **Rectangle** and invokes the methods on these objects. The **toString()** method is inherited from the **GeometricObject** class and is invoked from a **Circle** object (line 5) and a **Rectangle** object (line 13).
Note the following points regarding inheritance:
- Contrary to the conventional interpretation, a subclass is not a subset of its superclass. In fact, a subclass usually contains more information and methods than its superclass.
- Private data fields in a superclass are not accessible outside the class. Therefore, they cannot be used directly in a subclass. They can, however, be accessed/mutated through public accessors/mutators if defined in the superclass.
- Not all is-a relationships should be modeled using inheritance. For example, a square is a rectangle, but you should not extend a **Square** class from a **Rectangle** class, because the **width** and **height** properties are not appropriate for a square. Instead, you should define a **Square** class to extend the **GeometricObject** class and define the **side** property for the side of a square.
- Inheritance is used to model the is-a relationship. Do not blindly extend a class just for the sake of reusing methods. For example, it makes no sense for a **Tree** class to extend a **Person** class, even though they share common properties such as height and weight. A subclass and its superclass must have the is-a relationship.
- Some programming languages allow you to derive a subclass from several classes. This capability is known as _multiple inheritance_. Java, however, does not allow multiple inheritance. A Java class may inherit directly from only one superclass. This restriction is known as _single inheritance_. If you use the **extends** keyword to define a subclass, it allows only one parent class. Nevertheless, multiple inheritance can be achieved through interfaces.

1,882,872 | 5 Developer Techniques to Enhance LLMs Performance! | Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing, enabling applications... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:44:56 | https://dev.to/pavanbelagatti/5-developer-techniques-to-enhance-llms-performance-3bbn | ai, developer, development, machinelearning | Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing, enabling applications that range from automated customer service to content generation. However, optimizing their performance remains a challenge due to issues like hallucinations - where the model generates plausible but incorrect information. This article delves into key strategies to enhance the performance of your LLMs, starting with prompt engineering and moving through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning techniques.
Each method provides unique benefits: prompt engineering refines input for clarity, RAG leverages external knowledge to fill gaps, and fine-tuning tailors the model to specific tasks and domains. Understanding and applying these strategies can significantly improve the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of your LLM applications.
## RAG & Finetuning
While LLMs have the hallucinating behaviour, there are some ground breaking approaches we can use to provide more context to the LLMs and reduce or mitigate the impact of hallucinations.
Every LLM journey begins with Prompt Engineering.
Then comes the RAG and Fine-tuning techniques. But, it is very important to understand how these three work.
RAG comes into play when the LLM needs an extra layer of context.
This method is about leveraging external knowledge to enhance the model's responses. However, it's not always the right tool.
Invoke RAG when evaluations reveal knowledge gaps or when the model requires a wider breadth of context.
Fine-tuning is about specialization, adapting your LLM to your application's specific task, unique voice and context.
The decision to fine-tune comes after you've gauged your model's proficiency through thorough evaluations. When your LLM needs to understand industry-specific jargon, maintain a consistent personality, or provide in-depth answers that require a deeper understanding of a particular domain, fine-tuning is your go-to process.
Fine-tuning an LLM is a nuanced process that can significantly elevate the performance of your model - if done correctly.

## Chunk Sizes Matter in LLMs
Chunking is the process of dividing a large corpus of text data into smaller, semantically meaningful units.
The size of chunks is critical in semantic retrieval tasks due to its direct impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of information retrieval from large datasets and complex language models.
Different chunk sizes can significantly influence semantic retrieval results in the following ways:
Smaller chunk sizes offer finer granularity by capturing more detailed information within the text. However, they may lack context, leading to potential ambiguity or incomplete understanding.
Larger chunk sizes provide a broader context, enabling a comprehensive view of the text. While enhancing coherence, they may also introduce noise or irrelevant information. Optimal chunk sizes balance granularity and coherence, ensuring that each chunk represents a coherent semantic unit. But, there doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all optimal chunk size. The ideal chunk size depends on the specific use case and the desired outcome of the system.
One optimal process while retrieving the best results can be as follows,
→ Chunk up the same document in a bunch of different ways, say with chunk sizes: 128, 256, 512, and 1024.
→ During retrieval, we fetch relevant chunks from each retriever, thus ensembling them together for retrieval.
→ Use a reranker to rank results.
Chunks are usually converted into vector embeddings to store the contextual meanings that help in correct retrieval.
Here is [my article on understanding vector embeddings](https://levelup.gitconnected.com/vector-embeddings-explained-for-developers-6bd9800d3635)
## How to Fine-tune Your Model?
Fine-tuning involves using a Large Language Model as a base and further training it with a domain-based dataset to enhance its performance on specific tasks.
Let's take as an example a model to detect sentiment out of tweets. Instead of creating a new model from scratch, we could take advantage of the natural language capabilities of GPT-3 and further train it with a data set of tweets labeled with their corresponding sentiment.
This would improve this model in our specific task of detecting sentiments out of tweets.
This process reduces computational costs, eliminates the need to develop new models from scratch and makes them more effective for real-world applications tailored to specific needs and goals.
➤ Supervised Fine-tuning: This common method involves training the model on a labeled dataset relevant to a specific task, like text classification or named entity recognition.
➤ Few-shot Learning: In situations where it's not feasible to gather a large labeled dataset, few-shot learning comes into play. This method uses only a few examples to give the model a context of the task, thus bypassing the need for extensive fine-tuning.
➤ Transfer Learning: While all fine-tuning is a form of transfer learning, this specific category is designed to enable a model to tackle a task different from its initial training. It utilizes the broad knowledge acquired from a general dataset and applies it to a more specialized or related task.
➤ Domain-specific Fine-tuning: This approach focuses on preparing the model to comprehend and generate text for a specific industry or domain. By fine-tuning the model on text from a targeted domain, it gains better context and expertise in domain-specific tasks.

## Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)
RLHF is one of the best model training approaches.
Did you know that ChatGPT uses RLHF?
Yes. ChatGPT generates conversational, real-life answers for the person making the query, it uses RLHF. ChatGPT uses large language models (LLMs) that are trained on a massive amount of data to predict the next word to form a sentence.
---
RLHF is an iterative process because collecting human feedback and refining the model with reinforcement learning is repeated for continuous improvement.
With Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RHLF), you improve model precision by aligning with human feedback.
Instead of providing a human curated prompt/ response pairs (as in instructions tuning), a reward model provides feedback through its scoring mechanism about the quality and alignment of the model response.
This mimics a human providing feedback but cost optimized.
Model generates a response to a prompt sampled from a distribution.
Model's response is scored through the reward model and based on the reward, RL policy updates the weights of the model.
RL policy is designed to maximize the reward.
In addition to maximizing reward, there is another constraint added to prevent excessive divergence from the underlying model's behavior.
This is done by comparing the responses of the pre-trained model and the trained model with KL divergence score and add it as part of the objective function.

## RAG isn't a Silver Bullet!
Yes, RAG is the cheapest way to improve LLMs
BUT that may not be the case always.
Here is a flowchart guiding the decision on whether to use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
⮕ Dataset Size and Specificity:
If the dataset is large and diverse, proceed with considering RAG.
If the dataset is small and specific, do not use RAG.
⮕ For Large and Diverse Datasets:
If contextual information is needed, use RAG.
If you can handle increased complexity and latency, use RAG.
If you aim for improved search and answer quality, use RAG.
⮕ For Small and Specific Datasets:
If there is no need for external knowledge, do not use RAG.
If faster response times are preferred, do not use RAG.
If the task involves simple Q&A or a fixed data source, do not use RAG.
If not RAG the what can we use? we can use fine-tuning and prompt engineering.
Fine-tuning involves training the large language model (LLM) on a specific dataset relevant to your task. This helps the LLM understand the domain and improve its accuracy for tasks within that domain.
Prompt engineering is where you focus on crafting informative prompts and instructions for the LLM. By carefully guiding the LLM with the right questions and context, you can steer it towards generating more relevant and accurate responses without needing an external information retrieval step.
Ultimately, the best alternative depends on your specific needs.
Take a [look at my article on RAG](https://www.singlestore.com/blog/a-guide-to-retrieval-augmented-generation-rag/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pavan&utm_term=lnkdn&utm_content=rag).
If you like to use a robust database for not just AI/ML applications but also for real-time analytics, [try SingleStore database](https://www.singlestore.com/cloud-trial/?utm_campaign=singlestore-for-ai&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pavan&utm_term=linkedinpost).
## Semantic Caching to Improve LLMs & RAG
Fast retrieval is a must in RAG for today's AI/ML applications.
Latency and computational cost are the two major challenges while deploying these applications in production.
---
While RAG enhances this capability to certain extent, integrating a semantic cache layer in between that will store various user queries and decide whether to generate the prompt enriched with information from the vector database or the cache is a must.
A semantic caching system aims to identify similar or identical user requests. When a matching request is found, the system retrieves the corresponding information from the cache, reducing the need to fetch it from the original source.
There are many solutions that can help you with the semantic caching but I can recommend using SingleStore database.
**Why use SingleStore Database as the semantic cache layer?**
SingleStoreDB is a real-time, distributed database designed for blazing fast queries with an architecture that supports a hybrid model for transactional and analytical workloads.
This pairs nicely with generative AI use cases as it allows for reading or writing data for both training and real-time tasks - without adding complexity and data movement from multiple products for the same task.
SingleStoreDB also has a built-in plancache to speed up subsequent queries with the same plan.

## LLM Evaluation
LLM evaluation metrics are metrics that score an LLM's output based on criteria you care about.
Fortunately, there are numerous established methods available for calculating metric scores - some utilize neural networks, including embedding models and LLMs, while others are based entirely on statistical analysis.
Let's look at some notable ones below
⮕ **G-Eval**:
G-Eval is a recently developed framework from a paper titled "NLG Evaluation using GPT-4 with Better Human Alignment" that uses LLMs to evaluate LLM outputs (aka. LLM-Evals).
G-Eval first generates a series of evaluation steps using chain of thoughts (CoTs) before using the generated steps to determine the final score via a form-filling paradigm (this is just a fancy way of saying G-Eval requires several pieces of information to work).
⮕ **GPTScore**:
Unlike G-Eval which directly performs the evaluation task with a form-filling paradigm, GPTScore uses the conditional probability of generating the target text as an evaluation metric.
⮕ **SelfCheckGPT**:
SelfCheckGPT is an odd one. It is a simple sampling-based approach that is used to fact-check LLM outputs. It assumes that hallucinated outputs are not reproducible, whereas if an LLM has knowledge of a given concept, sampled responses are likely to be similar and contain consistent facts.
SelfCheckGPT is an interesting approach because it makes detecting hallucination a reference-less process, which is extremely useful in a production setting.
⮕ **QAG Score**:
QAG (Question Answer Generation) Score is a scorer that leverages LLMs' high reasoning capabilities to reliably evaluate LLM outputs. It uses answers (usually either a 'yes' or 'no') to close-ended questions (which can be generated or preset) to compute a final metric score. It is reliable because it does NOT use LLMs to directly generate scores.

1,882,874 | How Cloud Hosting Streamlines Tax Prep for Busy Professionals | According to Gartner's projection, by 2028, approximately 70% of the workload will be operated within... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:44:35 | https://dev.to/him_tyagi/how-cloud-hosting-streamlines-tax-prep-for-busy-professionals-hob | webdev, beginners, python, programming | According to [Gartner's projection](https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-20-gartner-it-infrastructure-operations-and-cloud-strategies-conference-2023-london-day-1-highlights), by 2028, approximately 70% of the workload will be operated within a cloud setting. It marks a significant increase from the 25% observed in 2023.
The statistics mentioned above also apply to tax preparation. Filing taxes becomes a tedious task for most professionals. Moreover, tax season brings experts loads of responsibilities every year. Therefore, various tax software, tools, and technologies have become necessary today.
[Tax software hosting](https://www.acecloudhosting.com/tax-software-hosting/) is one such service that can help streamline tax preparation for busy professionals. It brings many benefits to the table. Let’s have a look at some of them:
## Remote Accessibility
Tax filing requires working for long hours. It often ties them to their physical office desks for the period. However, there are times when clients send documents at odd hours, and tax professionals require their files to work on the task immediately. Using desktop-based tax software or storing information on a local device can make accessing them an issue.
Moreover, multiple versions of the same document are created once it goes back and forth to the client. It can form discrepancies, and the chances of error may increase by many folds.
Hosting tax software like ATX and Lacerte on the cloud provides access to tax data at any time and in any location with internet availability. It provides a virtual platform to use all the required data and update it in real-time. This flexibility can, in turn, improve efficiency and even customer satisfaction.
Additionally, cloud hosting provides a centralized repository for storing and managing tax documents, eliminating version control issues and ensuring all stakeholders have access to the latest information.
Resource Scalability
Every year, this busy season increases the workload for professionals involved in the tax filing process. So, most of the time, many accounting firms hire interns or freelancers to manage the job. It further increases required resources, including RAM, storage, processing power, and more.
Cloud hosting offers scalability, allowing professionals to adjust resources based on demand easily. This means additional resources can be quickly provisioned during peak periods to handle the increased workload, ensuring optimal performance without costly hardware upgrades.
Conversely, resources can be scaled down once the tax season ends to avoid unnecessary expenses. This makes it a cost-effective solution for managing fluctuating workloads.
## Cost Efficiency
Traditional on-premises setups demand significant initial investments in hardware and software licenses. Moreover, they entail continuous expenses for maintenance and upgrades. These costs can quickly add up and strain the budget of tax professionals.
Most cloud hosting providers, like Ace Cloud, operate on a subscription-based model. Users pay only for the resources they consume on a pay-as-you-go basis.
This setup reduces the necessity for substantial upfront costs, enabling tax professionals to match expenses with usage. It leads to cost savings and better financial efficiency.
Moreover, cloud hosting removes the need for in-house IT staff. The management and maintenance of infrastructure, including hardware, software, and security updates, shifts to the cloud service provider.
It reduces the overhead costs associated with hiring and retaining IT staff and the expenses related to training and infrastructure maintenance. As a result, tax professionals can focus their resources and efforts on core competencies.
## Improved Collaboration
Tax professionals must collect extensive financial information from clients to ensure accurate tax filings. It includes income statements, expense records, investment portfolios, and other relevant documents.
Collaborating effectively with clients is crucial to obtaining complete and up-to-date information, addressing discrepancies, and clarifying complex financial transactions.
Also, tax professionals must collaborate with colleagues and internal teams of accountants, financial advisors, and other experts to review documents and verify the accuracy of economic data. This becomes difficult when traveling to a physical office to meet everyone.
Tax software cloud hosting facilitates improved collaboration by providing a centralized platform where all relevant parties can access and work on tax data simultaneously.
Real-time document editing, version control, and communication tools streamline collaboration efforts, ensuring everyone is on the same page and can contribute effectively to the tax preparation process. This enhances productivity, reduces errors, and fosters better teamwork among tax professionals.
## Enhanced Security
Tax experts handle sensitive financial data, like income statements and investment details, which must always be kept secure. Maintaining client confidentiality and protecting against unauthorized access or data breaches is crucial.
Therefore, maintaining robust data security measures is a top priority for tax professionals to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and safeguard clients' sensitive information from potential threats or cyberattacks.
Reputable cloud hosting providers implement advanced security measures, such as data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular security updates, to protect tax data from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches.
Many cloud service providers also offer [BCDR](https://www.techtarget.com/searchdisasterrecovery/definition/Business-Continuity-and-Disaster-Recovery-BCDR#:~:text=Business%20continuity%20and%20disaster%20recovery%2C%20also%20known%20as%20BCDR%2C%20is,operational%20after%20an%20adverse%20event.) (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) plans if any natural disaster impacts the remote data centers. This ensures data redundancy at multiple locations.
So, the business is unaffected even if one of the centers is down for maintenance or ransomware attacks. This setup mitigates any security threat and provides a streamlined workflow for professionals.
## Seamless Integration
Tax professionals use different software tools and applications to make their work more accessible and efficient.
These tools help them manage various tasks involved in tax preparation, such as data entry, calculations, document management, and client communication. However, integrating third-party tools into the tax software often poses a compatibility issue.
These add-ons with tax software in the cloud environment can solve such problems.
It makes the integration process seamless and improves workflow efficiency by enabling seamless data transfer and synchronization between different systems. Tax professionals can leverage the full capabilities of their software stack and maximize productivity during tax preparation.
### In Conclusion
Cloud hosting offers numerous benefits for tax professionals that significantly streamline the tax preparation process.
As we move towards an increasingly digital and interconnected world, embracing cloud hosting for tax preparation is convenient and necessary for staying competitive and thriving in the modern business landscape.
By harnessing the power of cloud technology, tax professionals can unlock new levels of productivity, innovation, and client satisfaction, ensuring a brighter and more prosperous future for their practices.

My teammate shared a snippet of code with me the other day which led to a fun rabbit hole.
## TL;DR:
Remember to drain your timer channel before resetting it if the reset is not a result of the timer firing a notification (e.g. you read from the channel)
##What is a Go Timer?
As the name implies, a timer waits a duration of time before firing an event (sending a signal to a channel).
Timers can be stopped, and reset. Just like in real life!
Here's an example:
```golang
t := time.NewTimer(10 * time.Second)
fmt.Println("Wait for 10 seconds for the timer to send a signal")
<- t.C
fmt.Println("It's been 10 seconds!)
```
Of course, you could always just use `time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)` in the above example. Unlike sleep, you can stop the Timer before the duration has been met.
Example:
```golang
t := time.NewTimer(10 * time.Second)
go func() {
<- t.C
fmt.Println("It's been 10 seconds!")
}()
fmt.Println("Never mind, don't wait 10 seconds for the timer")
t.Stop()
time.Sleep(15 * time.Second)
fmt.PrintLn("Slept for 15 seconds!")
```
And just like a kitchen timer, you can reset it:
```golang
t := time.NewTimer(10 * time.Second)
for {
select {
case <- t.C:
// If you're feeling spicy you could reset with a random duration
t.Reset(5 * time.Second)
default:
time.Sleep(time.Second)
}
}
```
##Everything makes sense until it doesn't
So, I thought I had Timers understood until my teammate sent me this snippet of code:
```golang
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
signal := make(chan int)
go func() {
for {
signal <- 1
}
}()
t := time.NewTimer(time.Second)
for {
select {
case <-signal:
time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
t.Reset(time.Second)
fmt.Print("1")
case <-t.C:
fmt.Print("!")
default:
fmt.Print(".")
}
}
}
```
Maybe you're an expert in timers, channels, and select blocks and can see the bug here.
At first glance, I would never expect to see `!` printed. But here is example output:
```
$ go run main.go
.111!1!1!1111
```
Shouldn't the timer reset prevent the `!` branch from ever getting executed? Have I been misunderstanding and using reset incorrectly?
Looking at the documentation for Reset, this is near the top:
> For a Timer created with NewTimer, Reset should be invoked only on stopped or expired timers with **drained channels**.
D'oh! Even if the timer has been reset, it doesn't change the fact that it has already fired and so the channel contains an event! And select will pick a branch "randomly" if more than one branch is ready.
And just a few lines down, we are given instructions on how to use reset:
> If a program has already received a value from t.C, the timer is known to have expired and the channel drained, so t.Reset can be used directly.
> **If a program has not yet received a value from t.C, however, the timer must be stopped and—if Stop reports that the timer expired before being stopped—the channel explicitly drained:**
```golang
if !t.Stop() {
<-t.C
}
t.Reset(d)
```
##Putting it all together, correctly
Since we did not receive anything from the timer channel, we need to check if the timer has already went off, and if so we should drain the channel before resetting it. Changing the snippet as so:
```golang
for {
select {
case <-signal:
time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
if !t.stop() {
// drain the channel
<-t.C
}
t.Reset(1 * time.Second)
fmt.Printf("1")
case <-t.C:
fmt.Printf("!")
default:
fmt.Print(".")
}
}
```
Now, all shall be well!
Example output:
```
$ go run main.go
.111111111111111111111
```

---
As part of this little journey, we also discovered running this snippet on a MacBook Pro 2019 (intel), vs Ubuntu on WSL (intel) yielded consistently different outputs which I may or may not write about once I have all the facts straight.
Some things I thought about:
- MacOS vs Ubuntu? MacOS vs Windows? Is this even relevant?
- ✨schedulers✨
- Goroutines are not (os) threads. Repeat after me "goroutines are not (os) threads"

In today's fast-paced software development landscape, efficient workflows and clear responsibilities between development and design teams are crucial. One effective way to streamline these workflows is by automating component generation from design tools like [Figma](https://www.figma.com/) to code using powerful programming languages like [Golang](https://go.dev/). This article will explore the process of converting Figma components to code, focusing on the clear differentiation of responsibilities between development and design teams.
##Understanding the Need for Component Generation
Component generation is a vital aspect of modern software development. Automating this process, particularly converting Figma to code, offers numerous benefits, including increased efficiency and consistency. Figma, a popular design tool, plays a significant role in bridging the gap between design and development.
##Introduction to Figma API
The [Figma API](https://www.figma.com/developers/api) allows developers to programmatically access and manipulate design data. This functionality is crucial for converting Figma to code, enabling seamless integration and collaboration between design and development teams.
##Setting Up Your Development Environment
I chose Golang for interacting with the Figma API because its standard library offers powerful tools for tasks such as string manipulation and handling HTTP requests. Therefore, to run the example code provided in this post, you'll need to install Go. Additionally, having a Figma account is essential for generating the API key required to access the REST API.
##Writing the Golang Code for Figma API Integration
This section delves into the structure and details of the Golang code required to integrate with the Figma API. By understanding each part of the code, you'll be well-equipped to automate the conversion from Figma to code.
###Extracting Design Components from Figma
Accessing Figma components through the API and processing the design data are pivotal steps in the automation process for developers. This data extraction serves as the bedrock for effectively converting Figma designs into code. To retrieve component data, you can use the following endpoint: `/v1/files/:key/nodes?ids=component_id`. Upon a successful request, the API will return a JSON structure fully detailed on the documentation page.
In Go, the [`encoding/json`](https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json) module provides tools for serializing and deserializing JSON data. In this article, the code presented serves as a simplified example to illustrate code generation methods. The accompanying types are intentionally crafted with only the necessary fields to showcase a minimal working example.
```go
type LayoutMode string
type ItemType string
type Color struct {
Red float64 `json:"r"`
Green float64 `json:"g"`
Blue float64 `json:"b"`
Alpha float64 `json:"a"`
}
type Fill struct {
Color Color `json:"color"`
}
type Style struct {
FontWeight float64 `json:"fontWeight"`
FontSize float64 `json:"fontSize"`
LineHeightPx float64 `json:"lineHeightPx"`
}
type AbsoluteBoundingBox struct {
Width float64 `json:"width"`
Height float64 `json:"height"`
}
type Document struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Children []Document `json:"children"`
Type ItemType `json:"type"`
Characters string `json:"characters"`
LayoutMode LayoutMode `json:"layoutMode"`
AbsoluteBoundingBox AbsoluteBoundingBox `json:"absoluteBoundingBox"`
Style Style `json:"style"`
PaddingLeft float64 `json:"paddingLeft"`
PaddingRight float64 `json:"paddingRight"`
PaddingTop float64 `json:"paddingTop"`
PaddingBottom float64 `json:"paddingBottom"`
CornerRadius float64 `json:"cornerRadius"`
ItemsSpacing float64 `json:"itemSpacing"`
BackgroundColor Color `json:"backgroundColor"`
Fills []Fill `json:"fills"`
}
type Node struct {
Document Document `json:"document"`
}
type Component struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Nodes map[string]Node `json:"nodes"`
}
```
`LayoutMode` and `ItemType` can take just certain string values. That is why they were defined as separate types. That allows to define how they should be parsed. For example, the following code defines parsing of the layout mode:
```go
func (s *LayoutMode) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error {
var temp string
if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &temp); err != nil {
return err
}
candidate := LayoutMode(temp)
if !candidate.IsValid() {
return errors.New("Invalid layout mode")
}
*s = candidate
return nil
}
func (s LayoutMode) IsValid() bool {
switch s {
case HorizontalLayout, VerticalLayout:
return true
}
return false
}
```
###Generating QML Components from Design Data
QML is a markup language used in UI development. By mapping Figma components to QML, you can automate the generation of QML code from Figma data, facilitating a smooth transition from design to code.
**Analogy**: Think of the process like translating a recipe (Figma design) into a shopping list and cooking instructions (QML code). The ingredients (design elements) and steps (code) must match perfectly for the dish (application) to turn out as intended.
The following is an example code how to generate QML component from the deserialized JSON data:
```go
func generate(el Document, level int) string {
switch el.Type {
case ComponentType, FrameType:
return generateComponent(el, level)
case TextType:
return generateText(el, level)
}
return ""
}
func GenerateQml(component Component) (string, error) {
for _, value := range component.Nodes {
doc := value.Document
return fmt.Sprintf(`import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Layouts
%s `,
generate(doc, 0)), nil
}
return "", nil
}
```
In this scenario, specific functions are executed based on the item type (e.g., frame, text, etc.) to convert Figma properties into corresponding QML properties. For instance, Figma's "`itemsSpacing`" is mapped to QML's "`Layout.spacing`", and so forth. Admittedly, there's a more sophisticated approach available: creating distinct structs for each item type and implementing the visitor pattern. However, such a solution would necessitate adjustments to the parser's logic, which is deemed unnecessary for this illustrative example.
You can find the complete code used in this article [here](https://github.com/krjakbrjak/figma_playground).
##Conclusion
Clear roles and responsibilities are essential for successful collaboration. Tools and processes that automate component generation from Figma to code significantly enhance teamwork and productivity. UI/UX developers can focus on creating designs and prototypes. And software developers can generate code (QML, React, etc.) from created Figma design files.
**Statistic**: A [study](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-design/our-insights/tapping-into-the-business-value-of-design) by McKinsey found that companies with strong design and development collaboration can achieve revenue gains of up to 32%.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when juggling bills, savings, and unexpected expenses. Fortunately, there are practical strategies you can employ to reduce financial stress and regain control over your finances. [Sam Higginbotham](https://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Sam_Higginbotham), a seasoned financial advisor, shares his top strategies to help you manage and alleviate financial pressure.
## **Create a Realistic Budget**
The foundation of financial stability starts with a well-thought-out budget. Begin by listing all your income sources and monthly expenses. Divide your expenses into two main categories: necessities (such as rent, groceries, and utilities) and non-necessities (such as dining out and entertainment). It's important to be truthful about your spending habits. This honesty will help you pinpoint areas where you can reduce spending, allowing you to channel more money into savings or paying off debts.
## **Build an Emergency Fund**
An emergency fund serves as a financial cushion, offering reassurance when unexpected expenses occur. Strive to save enough to cover three to six months of living costs. Begin modestly if necessary, by allocating a portion of each paycheck into a dedicated savings account.Consistency is key; over time, your emergency fund will grow, reducing the stress associated with financial uncertainties.
## **Prioritize Debt Repayment**
High-interest debt, such as credit card balances, can significantly contribute to financial stress. Develop a debt repayment plan by listing your debts, interest rates, and minimum payments. Concentrate on paying off high-interest debts first while continuing to make minimum payments on your other debts. Once a debt is paid off, redirect the money toward the next one. This method, known as the avalanche method, can help you save money on interest and pay off debts faster.
## **Automate Your Savings**
Automating your savings ensures you consistently set aside money without the temptation to spend it. Set up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account on payday. This approach makes saving effortless and helps you build a habit of prioritizing your financial goals.
## **Invest in Your Future**
One effective strategy for increasing your money and securing your financial future is to invest. Start by contributing to retirement accounts like a 401(k) or an IRA, taking advantage of employer matches if available. Diversify your investments to spread risk, and consider consulting with a financial advisor to develop a strategy tailored to your goals and risk tolerance.
## **Live Below Your Means**
Living below your means is a crucial strategy for long-term financial health. This doesn't mean you need to deprive yourself of all pleasures, but it does require mindful spending. Evaluate your lifestyle and identify areas where you can cut back without sacrificing your quality of life. Simple changes, like cooking at home more often or reducing subscription services, can make a significant difference over time.
## **Educate Yourself on Personal Finance**
Particularly when it comes to handling your finances, information truly is power. Take the time to educate yourself on personal finance topics such as budgeting, investing, and tax planning. Numerous free resources are available online, including articles, podcasts, and webinars. The more knowledgeable you are, the more capable you will be of making wise financial choices.
## **Seek Professional Advice**
Don't be afraid to get expert help if you're feeling overwhelmed by your financial circumstances. A financial advisor can provide personalized guidance, helping you develop a plan tailored to your unique circumstances. They can also offer insights into strategies you might not have considered, helping you navigate complex financial landscapes.
## **Practice Mindfulness and Stress-Relief Techniques**
Both your physical and emotional health may suffer as a result of financial stress. Incorporate mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, into your daily routine. Physical activity, such as walking or yoga, can also help reduce stress levels. Taking care of your mental and physical well-being will make you more resilient in managing financial challenges.
By implementing these strategies, you can take proactive steps toward reducing financial stress and achieving greater financial stability. Keep in mind that achieving financial well-being is a long-term process, not a quick fix. Be patient with yourself and take time to celebrate your progress as you go. Sam Higginbotham's strategies offer a roadmap to a healthier, more stress-free financial future.

1,882,725 | Women in Tech: Challenges and Opportunities | The Landscape of Women in Tech The tech industry was first used to be said as male dominated... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:23:21 | https://dev.to/techstuff/women-in-tech-challenges-and-opportunities-551k | **The Landscape of Women in Tech**
The tech industry was first used to be said as male dominated industry, but over a decade it has seen a transition, a no. of female employees has been increased than male employees. Women are more keen to work and are proving themselves in every aspect of the industry. In Spite of this, women are still facing challenges that require everyone’s attention and action.
**Challenges Women Face in Tech**
**1. Gender Bias and Stereotyping**
Gender discrimination and orthodox thinking cannot sustain in the tech industry. The thinking that women cannot sustain in technological fields is the biggest challenge in this industry. This partiality can be seen in the way women are treated in job opportunities or salary opportunities. Women frequently have reported that they have to prove their efficiency more than male colleagues to stay in the field.
**2. Lack of Representation**
Women in the tech industry are sometimes deprived of tech roles, especially roles which are holding many responsibilities. According to a report of AnitaB.org, 2020, women hold only 28.8% of tech jobs. That’s why it makes it difficult for women to find women role models and mentors in the tech industry.
**3. Work-Life Balance**
Balancing work and balancing personal life in the tech industry requires a high level of dedication and long working hours. Women who are meant to be the wholesale caretaker of the family, sometimes find it difficult to manage both the responsibilities which gives them a high level of stress and burnout.
**4. Workplace Culture**
The culture in some tech companies is not so good and is a little biased for their male employees. Incidents like harassment, taking decisions in big projects, involvement in career changing projects are generally handled to male employees rather than female employees.
**Opportunities for Women in Tech**
**1. Growing Awareness and Advocacy**
There is growing awareness of the need for gender equality in the tech industry. There are many organizations and industries who are looking into this matter and are giving more opportunities to females.
**2. Supportive Policies and Practices**
Many tech industries are implementing policies to encourage women empowerment in this industry. Policies like flexible working hours, work from home, maternity leaves, promotions and hiring in high tech companies are seen nowadays. Such policies create a healthy and comfortable environment for female employees.
**3. Education and Training**
It is very important that girls should be educated and should have access to all the necessary training which is required for their growth. In basic school level only, students should be made aware of the technologies trending in the market. Scholarships and online quiz programs also boost the involvement of participation of women in tech.
**4. Role Models and Mentorship**
The successful growth of women in the tech industry becomes inspiration not only for females but also male employees working in the company. Programs like mentorships, guidance, inspirational also are very helpful to increase women’s interest in the tech industry. This also helps them to know the challenges they face in this industry and hope to overcome these challenges.
**5. Entrepreneurial Opportunities**
Women are now showing up as tech entrepreneurs in the tech industry. By starting their own companies women are starting their career in tech industry from ground zero and then taking it to the zenith’s height. Now easy working policies and easy government policies also encourage women to be the owner of their own business.
**Conclusion**
As there are challenges in the industry yet there are ways to grow. By just providing equal opportunities irrespective of gender bias. Every individual can grow according to his/her capacity. The tech industry is at boom and it will remain, when it will provide equal space for women employees too. The future of this industry is bright and people associated with this industry also enjoy the same. Through continuous upgradation and modification and by opening gates for all this techno industry will rule the world.

1,882,636 | Why and How to Migrate Your React App from CRA to Vite | At the time(10/06/2024) of writing this article, CRA has been effectively in a semi-dead state for... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:19:59 | https://dev.to/idrisdev/why-and-how-to-migrate-your-react-app-from-cra-to-vite-2ni6 | react, vite, webdev, refactorit | At the time(10/06/2024) of writing this article, CRA has been effectively in a semi-dead state for the past two years. It has not received any commits since last year nor has it received any important commits for the past two years in [CRA commit history](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/commits/main/). Issues have been pilling and none of them are being addressed in [CRA issues](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues).
So why is it in a semi-dead state and not dead, because the React team has not deprecated it, so, if it's not deprecated then it might have reached a level of maturity and might not need any new changes, so it is not in a semi-dead state but has reached a certain level of maturity.
Here is the tricky situation and that's why CRA is in a semi-dead state, it has not been deprecated but isn't receiving any updates not even security updates, along with that the new [React.dev](https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project) documentation doesn't mention CRA but suggests using React meta-frameworks like [Next](https://nextjs.org/) and [Remix](https://nextjs.org/) for new projects. You can read more about React's reasoning for it in this [github issue discussion](https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/5487#issuecomment-1409720741).
So React suggests using meta-frameworks for new projects, which means it should be fine to use CRA in the existing projects. you may ask. The issue with it is that it lacks many of the modern build tools features that we need in production applications and it might not be possible or you might not want to migrate to a meta-framework, which means either you have to eject out of CRA and maintain your webpack configuration or you can use another brilliant frontend build tool call Vite.
## Vite
[Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) is a modern frontend build tool created by [Evan You](https://x.com/youyuxi) (creator of [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/)). Vite is framework agnostic and works on a plugin based approach.
For this article, we will specifically focus on migrating a React App from CRA to Vite.
## Why Vite?
- Vite's plugin based approach allows us to configure the project that best suits our use case by exposing low level APIs as much as possible without us needing to configure the underlying bundler.
- Vite is not a bundler but a frontend tool that intelligently uses [ESBuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) and [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/) for their best use cases.
- Vite servers Native ESM code in the dev server mode for better start/reload times and HMR (Hot Module Replacement).
- Using ESBuilt, Vite creates a highly optimized prod bundle with support for better code splitting and tree shaking.
- Using plugins for configuring the porject means that we can pick and choose what we want to use for certain things.
- We can effectively create our own meta-framework using Vite, as it even supports things like SSR and SSG.
There are many more benefits of using Vite as discussed by the Vite team here [Why Vite?](https://vitejs.dev/guide/why.html)
Now, let's see how to migrate our existing CRA project to Vite.
> NOTE:
> I will be providing overview implementations and pseudo code and commands in this article since my aim is not to give you a template but to guide you toward migrating your app that fits your needs. I will provide the necessary and important references throughout the article for your help.
## Getting Started
### Install Vite
We can start by installing Vite in our current project.
```bash
npm install vite --save-dev
```
### Install React Plugin
As Vite works on a plugin based approach, we will have to install one of the two official React plugins. You can read more about them and choose the one that suits your needs from here [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/tree/main/packages/plugin-react) and [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react-swc)
```bash
npm install @vitejs/plugin-react --save-dev
```
### index.html
During development, Vite is a server and it uses index.html as the entry point. Therefore we need to make a few changes to the index.html file.
- Move index.html file to the root of the project.
- URLs inside index.html are automatically rebased so there's no need for special %PUBLIC_URL% placeholders and they can be removed.
- Add below script tag that allows it to reference the Javascript source code. (preferably at the end of the body tag, as that's were a fresh Vite project puts it)
```js
<script type="module" src="/src/index.tsx"> </script>
```
## Configuration
### Config file
Next, we will have to create a `vite.config.js` or `vite.config.ts` file at the root of the project based on whether if its a Javascript or a Typescript project.
```js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
export default defineConfig({
base: '/',
plugins: [react()]
})
```
You can read more about all the configuration options at [Config](https://vitejs.dev/config/)
### Typescript
To resolve imports using TypeScript's path mapping you will have to use one of the community plugins for Vite. You can read more about it here [vite-tsconfig-paths](https://github.com/aleclarson/vite-tsconfig-paths)
### Environment Variables
Vite exposes env variables on the special `import.meta.env` object, which are statically replaced at build time. To prevent accidentally leaking env variables to the client, only variables prefixed with `VITE_` are exposed.
Therefore, we will have to replace all the `process.env.` with `import.meta.env.` and replace the `REACT_APP_` prefix with `VITE_`.
```env
# CRA env variable
REACT_APP_MY_ENV = 'some value'
process.env.REACT_APP_MY_ENV
# Vite env variable
VITE_MY_ENV = 'some value'
import.meta.env.VITE_MY_ENV
```
### SVGs
To use SVGs and SVGs as a React component in our Vite project, we will have to use another awesome community plugin called `svgr()`.
You can check out [vite-plugin-svgr](https://github.com/pd4d10/vite-plugin-svgr) to learn more about how to install and use `svgr()` and all the configuration options that it exposes.
### JSX in JS
By default, Vite will not resolve any JSX file with `.js` extension, even though there are workarounds to resolve this, it would be better to migrate all the JSX files with `.js` or `.ts` extension to `.jsx` or `.tsx` as this is the official recommendation from the Vite team.
To learn more about the reasoning behind this decision you can read this [Twitter/X](https://x.com/youyuxi/status/1362050255009816577) thread by Evan You.
### Browserslist
For a production build, you are likely using [Browserslist](https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist), by default Vite targets browsers that support [native ES Modules](https://caniuse.com/es6-module), [native ESM dynamic import](https://caniuse.com/es6-module-dynamic-import), and [import.meta](https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_operators_import_meta).
In Vite, legacy browsers can be supported via the official [@vitejs/plugin-legacy](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/tree/main/packages/plugin-legacy) plugin, it also provides Browselist like configuration.
### Build File
For the production build, Vite creates a `dist` directory while CRA creates a `build` directory, if you have a CI/CD pipeline you might have to make changes in it to look for `dist` directory or you can change the output directory name in the build options. You can read more about all the available [build options](https://vitejs.dev/config/build-options.html).
## Update Scripts
Now, as most of our configuration part is done, we can move on to updating scripts in our `package.json` file.
### Dev Server
First, we will have to update our start script or dev server script.
Change your `start` script.
From:
```json
"start": "react-scripts start",
```
To:
```json
"start": "vite",
```
Now, we can also remove the `eject` command as it is no longer applicable.
Remove:
```json
"eject": "react-scripts eject" <-- remove this
```
### Build
Before updating build scripts we will look into one more thing, for a production application you might be using something like [env-cmd](https://github.com/toddbluhm/env-cmd#readme) for managing multiple env files for multiple environments such as development, staging, and production.
Vite has a first class support for something called `modes`, we can utilize this to remove dependency on `env-cmd` for managing multiple environments. You can read more about it in [Env Variables and Modes](https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode.html#modes).
Now, let's update our build scripts.
From:
```json
"start": "vite",
"build:dev": "env-cmd -f .env.dev react-scripts build",
"build:staging": "env-cmd -f .env.staging react-scripts build",
"build:prod": "env-cmd -f .env.prod react-scripts build",
```
To:
```json
"start": "vite",
"build:dev": "vite build --mode dev",
"build:staging": "vite build --mode staging",
"build:prod": "vite build --mode prod",
```
#### Typescript
For Typescript we will have to prefix build scripts with `tsc && `.
### Unit Test
As you may have noticed, unit tests in CRA also depend on `react-scripts`
```json
"test": "react-scripts test"
```
There are two main ways in which you keep your existing unit tests, one is using `jest` directly as `react-scripts` uses it under the hood and another one is using `vitest` (this might require some migration but shouldn't be much work).
I will not go into detail about migrating your unit tests, as every project has its own test setup, and generalizing it would be very difficult. You can read and learn more about both of them in [JEST docs](https://jestjs.io/docs/tutorial-react) and [Vitest docs](https://vitest.dev/).
## Testing
Now, as all configurations and scripts have been updated, we will have to do thorough testing of all the commands, features, and pages to make sure everything is working fine and fix any issues that might arise.
Once all the testing is done and we have verified that everything is working fine, we can finally remove the CRA dependency from our project.
```bash
npm uninstall react-scripts
```
Also, remove env-cmd or similar utility that we might not be using anymore.
```bash
npm uninstall env-cmd
```
## Extra
### Absolute Imports
Absolute import allows us to import components, utilities, and files using their absolute path with respect to the root of the project rather than a relative path from the current file, this makes imports more readable, easy to refactor, and overall improvement in DX as you don't have to wonder from where the file is being imported.
You can read more about how to implement absolute imports by googling it or you can read another great dev article [How To Create Absolute Imports In Vite React App: A step-by-step Guide](How To Create Absolute Imports In Vite React App: A step-by-step Guide) by [Andrew Ezeani](https://dev.to/andrewezeani).

How CNC Laser Cutting Works
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) laser cutting involves the use of a high-powered laser beam to cut materials. This process is controlled by computer software that precisely directs the laser to cut, engrave, or etch materials based on a digital design. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
Design Creation: The process begins with creating a detailed design using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. This design is then converted into a format that the CNC machine can interpret.
Material Preparation: The material to be cut is placed on the cutting bed. Common materials include metals, plastics, wood, and even fabrics.
Laser Cutting: The CNC machine's laser head moves over the material, following the design pattern. The laser emits a focused beam of light that heats and melts, burns, or vaporizes the material along the designated path.
Precision Control: The CNC system adjusts the laser’s intensity, direction, and speed to ensure precise cuts, maintaining high accuracy even on complex patterns.
Final Touches: Post-cutting, the pieces may undergo additional finishing processes to remove any residual material or to polish the edges.

## Why would I want such a thing?
A simple but real world use case would be when your LOCAL project config differs from the config required in PROD.
Take a look at this `.npmrc` file. Its configured to make use of use an environment variable `${NPM_GIT_PAT}` as the `authToken` when connecting to the GitHub Package registry.
```
@my-private-scope:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${NPM_GIT_PAT}
```
Now the file in this state is ready for PROD. When it runs (via GitHub Actions) the `NPM_GIT_PAT` environment variable will be declared and populated by a GitHub secret and NPM will be able to install dependencies from a private repo.
But what about your LOCAL environment? You need to set that `authToken` to your own private PAT so you can access those private repos. By telling git to stop tracking changes on the `npmrc` file, you can edit it and paste your private token in there without the risk of later accidentally committing it your repo.
## How
The how is the easy part, git provides a command that let you tell it to stop tracking specific files or folders.
```
git update-index --assume-unchanged path/to/src/file
```
This should only be used on files that are already in your repo, if you want git to ignore files from the get-go, add them to you `.gitignore` file instead.
_"Wait, how do I undo it?"_
Its just as easy, replace `--assume-unchanged` with `--no-assumed-unchanged` and you're set.
```
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged path/to/src/file
```

Seeing my troubleshooting skills and my hunger for problem solving, my parents brought me more “problems”, this time math ones, to feed my brain and thats how, errm no.. no that’s not me. That’s someone who I never was. So the puzzles that I mentioned, were picture puzzles, specifically dinosaurs and of other animals and I hardly got them right. But yes, I loved rubik’s cubes and I had one or two with me back in the days. I used to mix it up, reorganize, scratch, grind, play catch with and didn’t even hesitate to launch at my brother when I get annoyed but never really cared to solve it, never really served its purpose. I just liked seeing how the colours aligned and that was pretty much it.
My parents however were very particular about my taste for music and tabla. We used to have these chairs with broad legs which had an appeasing sound when hit with less force and ofcourse I used to hit them just like someone played tabla and with a lot of love. So that got them interested and i was “forced” to learn the instrument. I used the word forced even though I loved my rhythmic “bang” on the chair because I just wanted to stick with my “rhythmic banging” abilities and not do class sessions which I hated at the time. My mind envisioned it as going to school and as a result I used to hate going to tabla classes. My parents somehow was able to read that and invited my tabla guru to resume teaching from home. That came as a relief for me at first and we got well together playing tabla and learning each day until my guru started screaming at me in front of my parents for obvious reasons ofcourse and that came in as a major blow to me. I was a very lazy student and I believed that my “natural” abilities will somehow get me through and win competitions at the time which it did, not because of my “speciality” but because my guru believed in me and started investing more time with me. You must probably be thinking as to how my random stories come anywhere close to the title. In a minute guys. *patience*
So I was able to win competitions on a local scale and also on a major scale as well. I’ve won prizes across kerala and had the opportunity to play in programs in major channels as well. Why sudden mentions of my accolades? I just felt a momentary pride rushing in and that’s probably the reason why. However I still carry those fond memories with me as I move forward in life. From a boy who never wanted to really learn tabla, to falling in love with the very instrument and also collecting prizes and recognitions along the way is a wonderful feeling and something to always ponder upon.
The very foundation of my “developer” life has also been laid in a very similar fashion from the beginning. I never really wanted to be a “software guy” neither did I have the mind to work for it but as it turned out I’m here, I’m a software engineer and I’m loving every bit of my days as one(not every, but almost. “Every” would be an overstatement!). I had low grades for my higher education and as a result I had to take up something(branch for engineering) which is less hard to learn so that I can get through my college as well. After brain storming sessions with my parents and a few friends, I decided to take up information tech as my trade which seemed easy to learn for people close to me (never knew the reason why!). As the story goes, I never really got fond of the trade nor was I talented in it. Infact I somehow went about without getting a year back for my low attendance and obviously did not pass with flying colours. I survived.
After my graduation however, I was fortunate enough to get into a 13 year old(At the time) company in 2015 and slowly made my baby steps as a programmer. Firmusoft, that’s what the company is called was a relief for a jobless me at the time. I wasn’t even confident enough to pass by in front of people who “cared” for me more than my parents before getting this job. The job came in as a welcome surprise for me and cancelled out all the questions from you know who. I was very proud of what I became that day. A very big hug to my friends who helped me pass the aptitude which was the ultimate key. So as it goes, I started receiving this strong lust for learning and slowly became passionate about coding and its intricacies. I started believing in myself and took a lot of help from my mentors along the way which changed the way how I looked at problem solving. There were also times when I lost all hope and was forced to discuss my “connectivity issues” with coding to my family. That’s how it works and nothing comes easy. You need to always stay focused and never learn to settle. All the help and motivation that I received from my mentors and colleagues shaped the developer in me and made me better than who I was yesterday.
From never really wanting to learn/be something to falling in love with the same thing when you get/be it is not that bad at all. I personally believe an ascent in life is always prone to a gentle push from the world. You just have to keep falling in love with whatever you do, have the patience and also remember to stay humble while you are at it. I’m an “average” guy who fell in love with programming along the way and I’m proud of what I’m today. This is for those people who never really longed to be a software professional but happened to be one anyway and found joy in it, who is quite happy with their “arranged marriage”.
Keep learning!
Happy coding! | nirmal_harikumar |

But what exactly is GitHub? Well, it’s a platform where developers can share their code and collaborate on various projects.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a CEO or a developer. Both can work on a project simultaneously. GitHub can be used to store, track, and collaborate on different software projects. It’s also completely free and easy to use.
But who created it? GitHub is the brainchild of Chris Wanstrath, Scott Chacon, Tom Preston-Werner, and P. J. Hyett. It was released in 2008, but it didn’t gain much traction initially. But in 2012, there was a rapid increase in its popularity. Now, almost every developer uses GitHub.
So, how does GitHub function? First of all, you need to create an account. After that, you can do whatever you want. You can upload files, create projects, and more. GitHub is the best platform for collaborative projects. If you want to develop new features or fix bugs, then instead of working on the original code, you should create a branch. This is usually done to prevent the main branch from being affected by changes. Forking is what others can do.
For instance, if there is a public repository and someone wants to add new features, they can fork it. Besides this term, “pull request” is another common term. It’s made when changes to the code have already been made, and developers just need to merge the code files.
So, what more can you do with GitHub? Let’s see:
1. You can edit code and track changes. Facing difficulty while writing code? Use [GitHub Copilot](https://medium.com/@shariq.ahmed525/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-using-github-copilot-21c87d573328).
2. You can paste images.
3. You can close issues.
4. You can link to the code.
5. You can use the command line as a GitHub URL.
6. You can create and easily manage files.
And I am sure that’s why a lot of companies use GitHub. According to Enlyft, at least 664,360 companies around the world are using GitHub. However, the problem is that there are some cons to GitHub as well. For instance, sometimes the pull requests are really tedious. Other times, non-technical users can’t find adequate customer support which can be frustrating. | shariqahmed525 |

1,882,721 | Mastering JavaScript Event Delegation | Introduction Event handling is a crucial aspect of building interactive web applications. As web... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:10:09 | https://dev.to/dipakahirav/mastering-javascript-event-delegation-o1c | javascript, webdev, beginners, programming | **Introduction**
Event handling is a crucial aspect of building interactive web applications. As web applications grow in complexity, managing events efficiently becomes challenging. This is where event delegation comes in handy. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of event delegation, understand its advantages, and see how it can be implemented in JavaScript.
please subscribe to my [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DevDivewithDipak?sub_confirmation=1
) to support my channel and get more web development tutorials.
**What is Event Delegation?**
Event delegation is a technique in JavaScript that allows you to add a single event listener to a parent element instead of having multiple event listeners for child elements. This single event listener can handle events triggered by any of the child elements by leveraging the event bubbling mechanism.
**Why Use Event Delegation?**
1. **Improved Performance**: Adding a single event listener to a parent element is more efficient than adding multiple event listeners to child elements, especially when dealing with a large number of child elements.
2. **Dynamic Content Handling**: Event delegation makes it easier to manage events for dynamically added child elements without needing to attach new event listeners.
3. **Simpler Code Maintenance**: Reducing the number of event listeners simplifies the code and makes it easier to maintain.
**How Event Delegation Works**
Event delegation relies on the concept of event bubbling, where an event propagates (or bubbles) up from the target element to its parents. By setting an event listener on a parent element, you can capture events from its child elements and determine the event's target using the `event.target` property.
**Example Scenario**
Imagine you have a list of items, and you want to handle click events on each item. Instead of attaching a click event listener to each item, you can attach a single click event listener to the parent element (the list).
**HTML Structure**
```html
<ul id="item-list">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
```
**JavaScript Implementation**
```javascript
document.getElementById('item-list').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (event.target && event.target.nodeName === 'LI') {
console.log('List item clicked:', event.target.textContent);
}
});
```
In this example, we add a single click event listener to the parent `<ul>` element. When a `<li>` item is clicked, the event bubbles up to the `<ul>`, where we can handle it. The `event.target` property gives us the actual element that was clicked, allowing us to determine if it was an `<li>`.
**Handling Dynamic Content**
One of the significant advantages of event delegation is its ability to handle events for dynamically added elements.
**Adding New Items Dynamically**
```javascript
const newItem = document.createElement('li');
newItem.textContent = 'New Item';
document.getElementById('item-list').appendChild(newItem);
```
With event delegation, the newly added item will automatically be handled by the existing event listener on the `<ul>` element. There’s no need to add a new event listener for the new item.
**Advanced Usage: Delegating to Specific Child Elements**
In some cases, you may want to delegate events to specific child elements with certain classes or attributes.
**Example**
```html
<div id="container">
<button class="btn">Button 1</button>
<button class="btn">Button 2</button>
<a href="#" class="link">Link</a>
</div>
```
**JavaScript Implementation**
```javascript
document.getElementById('container').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (event.target && event.target.classList.contains('btn')) {
console.log('Button clicked:', event.target.textContent);
}
});
```
In this example, the event listener on the parent `<div>` element handles clicks only for elements with the class `btn`.
**Conclusion**
Event delegation is a powerful technique that can significantly improve the performance and maintainability of your web applications. By leveraging event bubbling, you can manage events more efficiently and handle dynamic content seamlessly. Start incorporating event delegation in your projects to experience its benefits firsthand.

1,882,719 | 4 devs and a meetup | Good morning everyone and happy MonDev! In fact, once again, and with pleasure, I say good... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:08:35 | https://dev.to/giuliano1993/4-devs-and-a-meetup-2k3o | Good morning everyone and happy MonDev!
In fact, once again, and with pleasure, I say good evening.
It's Saturday night and I'm writing to you live from the train that is taking me back to Rome after the event that I had the pleasure and luck to organize together with Giuseppe Funicello (aka Giuppi), Gianluca Lomarco and Leonardo Montini.
It was a bit the first time for all of us organizing such an event but certainly the first thing that was felt was the warmth and spontaneity shared among all the attendees, starting from Friday night with those who arrived early!
Today was a day full of varied insights for everyone, given the different specializations and niches of each one.
To open the morning, [Gianluca Lomarco](https://www.youtube.com/@gianlucalomarco) talked to us about shaders, what they are, some more common types, and how they are managed by the GPU to avoid overloading the CPU.
Starting from a rough mathematical idea, we went from seeing a basic setting done with Three.js, playing around with various parameters, to then carrying out the same process by working on the language used to create the shaders, a language very similar to C++, but oriented specifically to the mathematical computations necessary for this type of graphic realization.
Next up was [Leonardo Montini](https://www.youtube.com/@DevLeonardo) who showed us [TanStack Router](TanStack), a React routing library that is part of the growing ecosystem of [TanStack](https://tanstack.com/)!
As key points, what we saw was the strong typing with TypeScript, which in TanStack Router greatly facilitates each implementation step; if implemented correctly, at the development stage we will also have suggestions for allowed routes, receiving an error if a route is not yet defined. The main focus is on simplification, so from defining routes to managing search parameters, everything is handled in the most linear way possible.
In general, the entire Tanstack ecosystem seems very interesting and I really think it deserves a try, which I will probably do.
After a short coffee break, it was my turn!
For this occasion I decided to talk about multi-platform development.
Specifically, the talk focused on some valid tools for developing native desktop applications using web languages. The tools I chose to talk about were [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/), which allows development entirely through NodeJS, [NativePHP](https://nativephp.com/), a solution we also talked about here in the newsletter, to make Laravel applications executable locally, and [Tauri](https://tauri.app/), completely frontend agnostic but with a backend written in Rust.
We looked at the pros and cons of each of these tools together and what the flow of data and information is, how the application is organized, and how to pass data from the main process to the frontend and vice versa.
To close the morning talks, [Giuppi](https://www.youtube.com/@giuppidev) addressed the AI theme, giving an overview of the best processes to follow to make the most of it. We took a tour of some tools, trying to understand which ones can be useful at which stage of development and which ones might only be hype-driven, trying to draw a bit of a map of this continually growing landscape. What AI tools do you use for development?😉
After lunch, we started a roundtable discussion to discuss some topics proposed and chosen by the community present.
In the end, the chosen topics were Testing and 3D development. The different views and/or questions brought by each to the table were enriching for everyone and allowed us to take home much more than just a day of frontal talks.
For the curious, here are some more links, in addition to those already mentioned above, of interesting things that came up during the day:

1,882,717 | Why Tech Companies and Tech People Should Not Promot and Stand with LGBTQ+ Movement | In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, there’s increasing pressure on tech companies to take... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:05:51 | https://dev.to/md_enayeturrahman_2560e3/why-tech-companies-and-tech-people-should-not-promot-and-stand-with-lgbtq-movement-7k5 | lgbtq, techtalks, node, medium | In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, there’s increasing pressure on tech companies to take a stand on various social and political issues. However, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of maintaining neutrality, especially in the highly diverse and global tech industry. Here are some reasons why companies should avoid aligning themselves with political movements, including the LGBTQ movement:
**Preserving Inclusivity and Neutrality:** Tech companies thrive on diversity and inclusion. By staying neutral on political issues, companies ensure that all employees, regardless of their personal beliefs or backgrounds, feel welcome and valued. This approach fosters a more inclusive environment where individuals can focus on innovation and productivity.
**Avoiding Hypocrisy and Division:** Tech companies typically do not promote specific religions or traditional lifestyles, recognizing the importance of respecting diverse beliefs. Therefore, promoting movements that may conflict with religious beliefs or traditional lifestyles can present companies as hypocritical in the eyes of the public. This perceived hypocrisy can harm business and create division and discord, undermining the unity and collaborative spirit essential for technological innovation.
**Preserving Employee Focus:** Religion is a belief system often confined to personal life, with the argument that its orthodox nature might stifle technological and social advancement. Similarly, the LGBTQ movement can be seen as a belief system. If it is promoted in every sector, it risks becoming equally orthodox, potentially stifling economic and technological advancement. By maintaining neutrality, tech companies can avoid the pitfalls of promoting any belief system too aggressively, ensuring continued progress and innovation.
**Focus on Core Mission and Innovation:** Tech companies are built on the pillars of innovation, problem-solving, and technological advancement. Diverting attention to political issues can detract from these core objectives. Staying neutral allows companies to concentrate on their primary mission — creating groundbreaking technology and providing exceptional services to their customers.
**Risk of Consumer Boycotts:** In today’s climate, boycotts have become a powerful tool for consumers when companies act against their core beliefs. This is evident in the ongoing Palestine issue, where companies supporting Israel are facing significant backlash, losing market share and profits as a result. New companies are quickly emerging to substitute their products. A similar scenario could unfold if tech companies take a strong stance on contentious issues like the LGBTQ movement. By maintaining neutrality, companies can avoid alienating a significant portion of their customer base and mitigate the risk of such economic repercussions.
**Protecting Global Reach and Reputation:** Tech companies operate on a global scale, serving diverse markets with varying cultural, social, and political landscapes. Taking a stand on politically charged issues can harm a company’s reputation and marketability in regions with differing views. Maintaining neutrality helps preserve the company’s global reach and ensures it can continue to serve all markets effectively.
**Effective Support Without Negative Publicity:** If your company genuinely wants to support the LGBTQ movement, consider making donations to relevant organizations instead. Changing your company logo to LGBTQ colors can generate negative publicity, which might be beneficial for actors in the movie industry but is definitely not suitable for the tech industry. Additionally, prioritizing the hiring of LGBTQ employees solely for the sake of diversity can backfire, as these employees might focus more on pushing their agenda rather than contributing to the company’s growth. This approach could be likened to employing another orthodox group and paying them to potentially harm your company in the long run. Maintaining a focus on merit-based hiring and neutrality in public stances will better serve the tech industry’s goals and reputation.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, tech companies should prioritize their mission of technological innovation and inclusivity by maintaining neutrality on political agendas. This approach respects the diverse beliefs of employees and customers, avoids division, and keeps the focus on what truly matters — advancing technology and providing outstanding services. Let’s ensure that the tech sector remains a space for everyone, united by a shared passion for innovation, not divided by political differences.

1,881,585 | Sorcerer’s Code: Spellbinding Regex match in Power Automate’s C# Plugin | Intro: Power Automate is a tool from Microsoft that helps people do their work... | 26,301 | 2024-06-10T07:01:46 | https://dev.to/balagmadhu/sorcerers-code-spellbinding-regex-match-in-power-automates-c-plugin-3b3o | powerautomate, powerfuldevs, regex, hacks | ## Intro:
Power Automate is a tool from Microsoft that helps people do their work automatically, like magic. It can do a lot of things without needing extra help. But when it comes to checking data to make sure it’s right, Power Automate doesn’t have a built-in way to do that using something called regex, which is like a secret code for finding patterns in text. That’s where the C# plugin, a kind of add-on, becomes very useful. We found a smart way to use this add-on to make Power Automate do regex checks. It’s like finding a hidden path in a maze that leads you to the prize. This blog will show you how we did this, making it possible to check data in a new way with Power Automate.
## Setup:
Imagine you’re a sorcerer in training, and your first task is to create a magic spell that can tell if a secret code is correct or not. In our world, this is like setting up a special tool in Power Automate that doesn’t need a key to work. Using the custom connector framework we would create a connector "**Spoof**". It’s like a magic wand that uses a C# script, which is a set of instructions for the computer, to check if the words we use fit a certain pattern, known as regex. We prepare a magic scroll, or a JSON body, with two important parts: the regex pattern and the text we want to check. When we use this magic wand in our workflow, it will ask us for the secret code and the words. If they match, the spell works and it says ‘true’, like a green light. If not, it says ‘false’, like a red light. This way, we can easily check if our words are following the secret code without any hassle.
So for this I have used the below API as it doesnt need any API keys
```
https://cat-fact.herokuapp.com/facts/facts/random
```
The operation ID would be leveraged in the cutome code
Add a body to the API post with 2 string. the first string is the content and the second is the regex pattern.
Enable the custom code and in my example the API request operation ID was "RegexIsMatch"
```
public class Script : ScriptBase
{
public override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteAsync()
{
// Check if the operation ID matches what is specified in the OpenAPI definition of the connector
if (this.Context.OperationId == "RegexIsMatch")
{
return await this.HandleRegexIsMatchOperation().ConfigureAwait(false);
}
// Handle an invalid operation ID
HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
response.Content = CreateJsonContent($"Unknown operation ID '{this.Context.OperationId}'");
return response;
}
private async Task<HttpResponseMessage> HandleRegexIsMatchOperation()
{
HttpResponseMessage response;
// We assume the body of the incoming request looks like this:
// {
// "textToCheck": "<some text>",
// "regex": "<some regex pattern>"
// }
var contentAsString = await this.Context.Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
// Parse as JSON object
var contentAsJson = JObject.Parse(contentAsString);
// Get the value of text to check
var textToCheck = (string)contentAsJson["textToCheck"];
// Create a regex based on the request content
var regexInput = (string)contentAsJson["regex"];
var rx = new Regex(regexInput);
JObject output = new JObject
{
["textToCheck"] = textToCheck,
["isMatch"] = rx.IsMatch(textToCheck),
};
response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
response.Content = CreateJsonContent(output.ToString());
return response;
}
}
```
Next, we set up a straightforward flow, like laying out the steps of a spell. It starts with an instant trigger, a bit like saying “Ready, set, go!” This trigger asks for two things: the regex pattern, which is like the secret code, and the text we want to check. We send this information to our custom connector, which acts like our magical assistant, and it carefully places the data where it needs to go. The connector then works its magic and gives us back an answer, which we keep safe in a compose variable, like storing the result in a potion bottle. With this flow ready, all that’s left is to test our magic and see it work!
## Magic show
It’s amazing what you can achieve with a little creativity and the right tools. So go ahead, give it a try and share the magic you have created with the community

1,880,382 | How To Implement The WebAuthn Autcomplete Token | Introduction WebAuthn offers a cutting-edge solution with its autocomplete attribute,... | 0 | 2024-06-10T07:00:00 | https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-autocomplete | ## Introduction
WebAuthn offers a cutting-edge solution with its autocomplete attribute, which facilitates passkey and password autofill. This blog post dives into the characteristics of WebAuthn autocomplete, exploring its benefits, implementation, and browser support, to help developers and product managers enhance user authentication experiences.
**_[Read Full Blog Post Here](https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-autocomplete)_**
## Understanding the Autocomplete Attribute
The HTML autocomplete attribute significantly improves user experience by automating form field completion. This attribute can be set to "on" or "off," or take specific tokens that instruct the user agent on how to prefill input fields. It applies to various HTML elements such as `<input>`, `<textarea>`, `<select>`, and `<form>`.
For WebAuthn, the attribute autocomplete="webauthn" is crucial for implementing Conditional UI, which enhances security and convenience.
## Browser Support for WebAuthn Autocomplete
The adoption of autocomplete="webauthn" is gaining traction across major browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. Despite discrepancies in documentation and real-world behavior, our tests confirm functional support in these browsers. Developers are advised to stay updated with browser documentation and compatibility resources like "Can I Use" to ensure optimal implementation.
## Implementing WebAuthn Autocomplete
To integrate autocomplete="webauthn" into your application, follow these steps:
- **Prerequisites:** Ensure the user's operating system and browser support passkey functionality. Implement a WebAuthn server to handle authentication ceremonies.
- **UI Integration:** Add the autocomplete attribute to relevant input fields in your HTML forms. For example:
```html
<input type="text" id="username-field" autocomplete="username webauthn">
```
- **Authentication Ceremony:** Trigger the WebAuthn authentication ceremony using the appropriate JavaScript methods. Here's a snippet for initiating the process:
```javascript
async function conditionalMediationLogin() {
const publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions = {
challenge: generateChallenge("randomChallengeString"),
timeout: 60000,
userVerification: "preferred",
rpId: "your-rp-id"
};
try {
const assertion = await navigator.credentials.get({
publicKey: publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions,
mediation: "conditional",
signal: new AbortController().signal
});
console.log("Conditional login successful", assertion);
} catch (err) {
console.error("Conditional login error", err);
}
}
```
## Real-World Testing Across Browsers and OS
Our extensive testing across various operating systems and browsers reveals a heterogeneous support landscape. Key findings include:
- **iOS and macOS:** Conditional UI works effectively, though iOS prioritizes passkeys over passwords.
- **Android:** Requires specific configurations for WebAuthn server settings.
- **Windows 10 and 11:** Support for Conditional UI varies, with notable differences in behavior on Chrome and Edge.
## Recommendations for Developers
Depending on your application's needs, consider these scenarios:
- **Scenario A:** User-Friendly Approach: Implement passkeys without Conditional UI, retaining traditional email and password autofill.
- **Scenario B:** Progressive Approach: Promote passkeys with Conditional UI, allowing users to choose between passkeys and passwords seamlessly.
- **Scenario C:** Passwordless Future: Opt for an email-first sign-in flow, leveraging Conditional UI to prioritize passkeys.
## Conclusion
Implementing WebAuthn autocomplete and Conditional UI transforms user authentication by enhancing security and reducing cognitive load. Continuous monitoring of browser and OS updates is essential to maintain a seamless user experience.

The architecture of Selenium is composed of :-
1) Selenium IDE:
a) IDE = Integrated Development Environment.
b) It is nothing but a simple web-browser extension.
c) You just need to download and install the extension for that
particular web browser.
d) It can automate as well as record the entire automation
process.
e) people generally prefer to write test-scripts using
Python, Java, JavaScript etc,
2) Selenium Remote Control:
a) It has been deprecated.
b) It is not used these days.
c) It it been replaced by Selenium WebDriver or better to
say the Python Selenium WebDriver Manager.
3) Selenium WebDriver:
a) It is a major component of Selenium test suite
b) It provides us an interface between the programming
language in which we write our test-scripts and the web-
browser itself.
c) It is composed of :-
i) Selenium Client Library:
1)They are language bindings/commands which
you will use to write your automation
scripts.
2)These commands are compatible with HTTP, TCP-
IP protocols.
3)They are nothing but wrappers which sent the
commands to the network for execution into a
web- browser.
ii) Selenium API:
1)It is a set of rules and regulations which your Python
program uses to communicate with each other.
2)It helps us in automation without the need for the user
to understand what is happening in the background.
iii) JSON Wire Protocol:-
1)The commands that you write gets converted into JSON.
which is then transmitted across the network or to your
web-browser so that it can be executed for automation
and testing.
2)The JSON requests are sent to the client using the TCP-
IP/HTTP protocol.
iv) Browser Driver:
1)It acts as a bridge between the Selenium script,
libraries and the web-browser.
2)It helps us to run the Selenium test-scripts which
comprises Selenium commands on a particular web-browser.
4) Selenium Grid:-
a)It is used to run parallel tests on multiple devices
running different browsers at different geographical
locations.

It sounds too good to be true, but in today’s world, passive income streams are a reality for many.
Maybe you’re tired of the daily grind and are looking for ways to supplement your income without taking on a second job or investing a huge amount of time and effort.
That’s exactly what this article is here to address. You’ll discover six practical ways to turn your computer into a passive income machine.
By the end of this article, you’ll have a clear understanding of what these software are and what to consider to ensure they are a good fit for your lifestyle and financial goals.
But first, I feel obliged to explain what I mean by saying “Truly Passive Income”..
What is Truly Passive Income (Vs Semi-Passive)
Let’s talk about the real deal with passive income versus semi-passive income.
True passive income is what most folks dream of when they want to make money without breaking a sweat.
It’s like planting a tree; you put in the work upfront, and then you sit back and watch it grow. You’ll need to do a bit of pruning here and there, but that’s about it.
On the flip side, semi-passive income is a bit more hands-on. You can’t just leave it and forget it.
What You Need To Know About Residential IP Proxies
Now, let’s discuss about residential IP proxies because the following apps I am about to reveal are directly related to this.
So, what’s the deal with residential IP proxies?
Well, they let businesses use your internet to hop onto public websites, making it look like they’re surfing the web from your spot.
This is super helpful for companies that need to scoop up web data without getting the cold shoulder from security systems.
If you decide to share your IP as a residential proxy, you’re basically letting someone else’s web traffic take a detour through your internet address.
And yes, you can make a few bucks off this because companies are willing to pay for the privilege.
But, just a heads up, a handful of big players pretty much run the show in the residential IP proxy market. They gather IPs from all over the place and then sell access to this big pool of bandwidth.
When you jump on board with these networks, they’ll toss you a bit of cash for helping out, but don’t expect to get rich.
But remember, you’ll be doing absolutely nothing and you’ll earn money on the side.
Alright, that’s my two cents on the topic. Keep it in mind if you’re thinking about going down this road.
Make Passive Income By Having Your Computer Running
**1. Pawns App**
Pawns App is a nifty little tool for anyone looking to make a bit of money from their unused internet bandwidth.

You just set it up on your device, and it works in the background, making use of your spare bandwidth.
It’s a pretty sweet deal, especially since you can start seeing some cash flow with as little as $5 earned.
The app itself is easy peasy to use. Plus, you get to pick how you want to get paid.
They’ve got options like PayPal and Bitcoin, and even gift cards. And if you’re the type who likes sharing good finds, their referral program can put a little extra in your pocket when your pals sign up.
Now, I’ve noticed that to really get the most out of it, having it run on different devices with their own home IP addresses can give your earnings a nice bump.
And it doesn’t hurt to switch between your home Wi-Fi and mobile data to keep things smooth.
But, I’ve got to be honest with you, not everyone has a bunch of unique IPs lying around. This could make it a bit tricky for some folks to max out their earnings.
In a nutshell, for those of you looking to make some cash with minimal fuss, Pawns App is worth a look.
It’s a straightforward way to put your unused internet to work. Just don’t expect to make a fortune overnight.
It’s all about that slow and steady income, and hey, every little bit counts, right?
**2. Honeygain**
Honeygain is another similar app with a simple concept: you share your unused internet bandwidth and get paid for it. I’ve been doing this for a while, and it’s a no-fuss way to earn some extra cash.
After I signed up and got the app running on my device, I was part of the system.
I share my internet, and Honeygain gives me a bit of money for it. It’s a fair trade-off.

You just set it up, let it run in the background, and your unused internet bandwidth starts to work for you.
It’s a breeze to get going, and once it’s up, there’s barely anything else you need to do.
Now, with EarnApp, you’re not going to get a clear picture of what you’ll earn, and that’s a bit of a downside.
But the real draw is how easy it’s to get started. Anyone can sign up, and it’s not just for your computer — you can use it on your phone too.
Plus, there’s this referral scheme that could bump up what you make.
So, who’s this for? If you’re after a way to make some cash on the side without having to do much, this could be right up your alley.
The good stuff? It’s a chill way to earn a bit of money using something you’re not even using — your internet that’s just sitting there.
The setup’s a piece of cake, and you don’t have to be tech-savvy to keep it going.

The visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, can affect your confidence and self-esteem, leaving you longing for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Fortunately, advancements in bioregenerative aesthetics offer innovative solutions for softening fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin from within. In this blog, we'll explore the transformative benefits of bioregenerative aesthetics for moms seeking to reclaim their youthful glow and regain confidence in their appearance.
Understanding Bioregenerative Aesthetics
Bioregenerative aesthetics harness the power of regenerative medicine and cutting-edge technologies to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Unlike traditional cosmetic procedures that merely mask signs of aging, bioregenerative treatments address the root cause of skin aging, promoting collagen production, cellular turnover, and tissue regeneration. These treatments utilize various modalities, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell therapy, and growth factor injections, to replenish lost volume, improve skin texture, and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
Moreover, bioregenerative aesthetics offer natural and long-lasting results, as they stimulate the body's innate ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. By harnessing the body's own healing mechanisms as mentioned by skincare professionals including Cheyanne Mallas (PA), bioregenerative treatments can produce gradual yet noticeable improvements in skin quality and appearance over time, without the need for invasive surgery or prolonged downtime. For moms looking to achieve youthful, radiant skin without compromising their busy lifestyles, bioregenerative aesthetics offer a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a popular bioregenerative treatment that harnesses the healing properties of your blood's own platelets to rejuvenate the skin. During a PRP treatment, a small sample of blood is drawn from the patient and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into targeted areas of the skin. The growth factors and cytokines present in PRP stimulate collagen production, promote tissue repair, and improve skin elasticity, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Skincare experts like Cheyanne Mallas (PA) express that PRP therapy is a versatile treatment that can be customized to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Whether used alone or in combination with other bioregenerative modalities, such as microneedling or laser therapy, PRP therapy offers natural and long-lasting results with minimal risk of adverse reactions or complications.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types and promote tissue regeneration and repair. In stem cell therapy for skin rejuvenation, stem cells derived from the patient's own adipose tissue or bone marrow are harvested and injected into targeted areas of the skin, where they stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve overall skin texture.
Moreover, stem cell therapy offers the added benefit of promoting natural healing and regeneration, as it harnesses the body's own stem cells to rejuvenate the skin from within. By replenishing lost volume, improving skin tone and texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as pointed out by dermatology professionals such as Cheyanne Mallas (PA), stem cell therapy can help moms achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion without the need for invasive surgery or synthetic fillers. With its natural and long-lasting results, stem cell therapy represents a promising option for moms seeking to turn back the clock and regain confidence in their appearance.
Growth Factor Injections
Growth factor injections are a revolutionary bioregenerative treatment that utilizes growth factors derived from the patient's own blood to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. Similar to PRP therapy, growth factor injections involve harvesting a small sample of blood from the patient and isolating the growth factors through a specialized centrifugation process. These growth factors are then injected into targeted areas of the skin, where they promote cell proliferation, tissue repair, and collagen synthesis, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Moreover, growth factor injections offer a natural and minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation, as they harness the body's own growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and repair. By replenishing lost volume, improving skin texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as conveyed by skincare professionals including Cheyanne Mallas (PA), growth factor injections can help moms achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion without the need for synthetic fillers or surgical intervention. With their ability to deliver natural and long-lasting results, growth factor injections offer a safe and effective solution for moms seeking to restore youthful vitality to their skin.
Combining Bioregenerative Modalities
For optimal results, many moms choose to combine multiple bioregenerative modalities to address different aspects of skin aging and achieve comprehensive rejuvenation. By combining treatments such as PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, and growth factor injections, moms can enhance the benefits of each modality and achieve more dramatic improvements in skin quality and appearance. This approach allows for a customized treatment plan tailored to the unique needs and goals of each patient, ensuring that all aspects of skin aging are addressed effectively.
Moreover, combining bioregenerative modalities can synergistically enhance collagen production, tissue regeneration, and skin rejuvenation, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Whether used sequentially or in combination during the same treatment session, these modalities work together to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and rejuvenate the skin from within. By combining bioregenerative treatments as suggested by skincare experts like Cheyanne Mallas (PA), moms can achieve comprehensive and long-lasting results that restore youthful vitality to their skin and boost confidence in their appearance.
Bioregenerative aesthetics offer innovative solutions for moms seeking to soften fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate their skin for a more youthful appearance. Whether through treatments such as PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, growth factor injections, or a combination of modalities, moms can achieve natural and long-lasting results that enhance confidence and self-esteem. By understanding the benefits of bioregenerative aesthetics and working with a qualified provider to develop a customized treatment plan, moms can reclaim their youthful glow and embrace the beauty of aging gracefully.

According to a <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2009/07/09/section-3-funding-scientific-research/">PEW Research report</a>, more than 46% of scientists find procuring funds for basic research two to three times harder than for applied research.</p>
<p>Decentralized Science (DeSci) offers a revolutionary approach to tackling these problems by leveraging emerging technologies such as blockchain. This article explores how DeSci can address and solve these issues, transforming the landscape of scientific research.</p>
<p>These challenges stem from a lack of interest by governments and agencies like the NIH in funding research that is purely educational or informational, as it involves engaging a review system that could otherwise be utilized for more financially rewarding purposes. For instance, a <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(14)60556-0/fulltext">report</a> by Lancet claims that 85% of biomedical research gets wasted every year, highlighting inefficiencies and biases in the current system.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-problems-with-traditional-academic-research">The Problems with Traditional Academic Research</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-funding-and-financial-barriers">Funding and Financial Barriers</h3>
<p>Academic research funding is notoriously limited and highly competitive. A 2020 data suggests only 20% of NIH grant applications got <a href="https://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2021/04/21/fy-2020-by-the-numbers-extramural-investments-in-research/">funded</a>, leaving a vast majority of research projects unfunded. This scarcity of funds leads to a hyper-competitive environment where securing funding often depends more on networking and reputation than the merit of the research itself. Early-career researchers, in particular, face significant hurdles, with the average age of first-time NIH grant recipients now over 42 years.</p>
<p>Another critical issue is the influence of funding sources on research direction and outcomes. Private and governmental funding bodies often prioritize research that aligns with their interests, potentially stifling innovative or controversial research. This can lead to a misallocation of resources and a focus on short-term, incremental advances rather than groundbreaking discoveries.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-publication-and-peer-review-challenges">Publication and Peer Review Challenges</h3>
<p>The traditional publication model is dominated by a few large publishers, who charge exorbitant fees for both publishing and accessing research. For instance, publishing in Nature can cost over <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30081034">$11,000 per paper</a>, and subscription fees for academic journals often exceed the budgets of many institutions. This kind of pay-to-publish model can limit researchers and also spreading of scientific knowledge like intended.</p>
<p>The peer review process is fraught with biases and inefficiencies. Reviewers are often unpaid, leading to delays and variable quality in reviews. A 2019 study found that peer review times can vary widely, with some papers taking over a year to be reviewed. Moreover, biases in the selection of reviewers can result in the suppression of innovative or dissenting ideas, as established researchers are more likely to favour work that aligns with their own perspectives.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-data-accessibility-and-transparency-issues">Data Accessibility and Transparency Issues</h3>
<p>Access to data and research findings is often restricted by paywalls and proprietary databases. According to a 2018 survey, 85% of research data remains inaccessible to the public. This lack of transparency hampers the reproducibility of research, a cornerstone of scientific integrity. A 2016 study in the journal Nature reported that over 70% of researchers had tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, highlighting a reproducibility crisis in science.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-intellectual-property-and-collaboration-barriers">Intellectual Property and Collaboration Barriers</h3>
<p>Intellectual property (IP) rights and patenting in academia are complex and often hinder the dissemination of knowledge. University TTOs(University Transfer Offices) are typically underfunded and lack the resources to manage IP effectively. As a result, many innovations languish in patent offices or are never commercialized.</p>
<p>Collaborating across different areas of study and countries is hard because of complex rules and bureaucracy. A 2017 report found that over 60% of researchers face significant obstacles in establishing international collaborations, ranging from funding issues to administrative hurdles</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-decentralized-science-desci">What is Decentralized Science (DeSci)?</h2>

These platforms utilize blockchain to ensure transparency and accountability by recording peer reviews and transactions. Reviewers are incentivized with tokens, which can be traded or used within the platform, ensuring timely and high-quality reviews.</p>
<p>A study by SCINET found that their blockchain-based peer review process reduced review times by 40% and improved the quality of feedback by providing clear, verifiable records of reviewer contributions. This incentivized model ensures that reviewers are fairly compensated for their work, addressing a major flaw in the traditional system.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-enhancing-data-accessibility-and-transparency">Enhancing Data Accessibility and Transparency</h3>
<p>DeSci enhances data accessibility through open data repositories like Ocean Protocol, which allow researchers to share and monetize their data securely. Blockchain’s transparency ensures that data is tamper-proof and publicly accessible, fostering trust and enabling reproducibility.</p>
<p>By recording methodologies and results on the blockchain, DeSci platforms like Ocean Protocol ensure that research processes are transparent and reproducible, addressing the reproducibility crisis.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-facilitating-intellectual-property-and-collaboration">Facilitating Intellectual Property and Collaboration</h3>
<p>Blockchain technology simplifies IP management by providing clear, secure records of ownership and transactions. IP agreements are automated through smart contracts, alleviating administrative burdens and guaranteeing fair compensation for creators. For example, Molecule’s IP-NFT model allows researchers to tokenize their projects, raising funds from investors before filing patents.</p>
<p>This approach fosters democratization of intellectual property ownership, granting stakeholders the opportunity to invest in and derive benefits from scientific innovation. Additionally, decentralized platforms like ResearchHub facilitate global collaboration by providing tools for communication, data sharing, and joint project management, breaking down traditional barriers to cooperation.</p>

Sun damage can lead to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Fortunately, advancements in bioregenerative aesthetics offer innovative solutions for repairing sun-damaged skin and restoring mom's skin health. In this blog, we'll explore how bioregenerative aesthetics can rejuvenate and revitalize mom's skin, reversing the signs of sun damage and promoting a radiant complexion.
Understanding Sun Damage
Before delving into the benefits of bioregenerative aesthetics, it's essential to understand the impact of sun damage on the skin. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and uneven skin tone. UV rays penetrate the skin's outer layers, damaging collagen and elastin fibers, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this damage can result in visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin and loss of volume.
Skincare professionals including Cheyanne Mallas (California) mention that repeated sun exposure can also increase the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can trigger the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Understanding the harmful effects of sun damage underscores the importance of protecting the skin from UV rays and seeking effective treatments to repair and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.
The Role of Bioregenerative Aesthetics
Bioregenerative aesthetics harness the body's natural healing mechanisms to promote skin regeneration and repair. These innovative treatments utilize advanced technologies and techniques to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance overall skin health. One of the key benefits of bioregenerative aesthetics is their ability to target specific skin concerns, such as sun damage, with precision and efficacy.
One popular bioregenerative aesthetic treatment for repairing sun damage is microneedling as highlighted by skincare experts like Cheyanne Mallas (California). During a microneedling procedure, fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. Additionally, microneedling can improve the absorption of topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness in repairing sun-damaged skin.
Revitalizing Sun-Damaged Skin with Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is another effective bioregenerative aesthetic treatment for repairing sun damage and improving skin tone and texture. Laser treatments target specific areas of sun damage, such as age spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, by delivering concentrated beams of light energy to the skin's surface. This energy penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
One type of laser therapy commonly used by dermatology professionals such as Cheyanne Mallas (California) to treat sun damage is fractional laser resurfacing. During this procedure, the laser creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells. Fractional laser resurfacing can improve the appearance of sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles, while also tightening the skin and reducing pore size. With minimal downtime and noticeable results, laser therapy offers a safe and effective solution for revitalizing sun-damaged skin.
Enhancing Skin Health with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a bioregenerative aesthetic treatment that harnesses the healing power of the body's own platelets to rejuvenate the skin. During a PRP therapy session, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin, where it stimulates collagen production, accelerates tissue repair, and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
Skincare professionals including Cheyanne Mallas (California) point out that PRP therapy can be particularly beneficial for repairing sun-damaged skin, as it helps improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. The growth factors and proteins found in platelet-rich plasma encourage cell renewal and regeneration, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. PRP therapy can also be combined with other bioregenerative aesthetic treatments, such as microneedling or laser therapy, to enhance their effectiveness and maximize results. With its natural approach to skin rejuvenation, PRP therapy offers a safe and minimally invasive option for restoring mom's skin health and vitality.
Incorporating Sun Protection into Daily Routine
Preventing further sun damage is just as important as repairing existing damage. Incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine is crucial for maintaining the results of bioregenerative aesthetic treatments and preserving the health of your skin. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (sun protection factor) and apply it generously to all exposed skin areas, including your face, neck, and hands. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if you're sweating or swimming.
Furthermore, consider wearing protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts, to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Seek shade whenever possible, especially during peak sun hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Additionally, be mindful of reflective surfaces, such as water, sand, and snow, which can intensify UV radiation and increase the risk of sunburn and skin damage. By incorporating sun protection measures into your daily routine as emphasized by skincare experts like Cheyanne Mallas (California), you can minimize further sun damage and maintain the results of your bioregenerative aesthetic treatments for healthy, radiant skin.
Bioregenerative aesthetics offer innovative solutions for repairing sun-damaged skin and restoring mom's skin health. By understanding the harmful effects of sun damage and the role of bioregenerative aesthetic treatments, moms can take proactive steps to rejuvenate and revitalize their skin. Whether through microneedling, laser therapy, PRP therapy, or a combination of treatments, bioregenerative aesthetics offer safe and effective options for reversing the signs of sun damage and promoting a radiant complexion. With the help of skilled aesthetic professionals, moms can achieve the healthy, glowing skin they deserve and feel confident in their appearance as they navigate the joys of motherhood.

However, I recently learned... | 24,580 | 2024-06-10T06:48:26 | https://dev.to/jacobandrewsky/using-shallowref-in-vue-to-improve-performance-559f | vue, performance, javascript, typescript | Handling large data structures in frontend applications is not easy. However, I recently learned about a great feature of Vue called `shallowRef` which is a great utility that could help improve performance of your website if you are dealing with huge data structures like nested objects or arrays.
So amazing that the framework author already thought about such useful feature and implement it directly in the framework instead of a need to use third party package or write such functionality from scratch.
In this article, I decided to write about it so that you can start using it in your app as well!
Enjoy!
## 🤔 What is a Vue `shallowRef`?
Unlike `ref()`, the inner value of a shallow ref is stored and exposed as-is, and will not be made deeply reactive. Only the `.value` access is reactive.
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { shallowRef } from 'vue'
const state = shallowRef({
count: 0,
})
</script>
<template>
<span>Count: {{ state.count }}</span>
</template>
```
For this example, `shallowRef` will work the same way as the normal ref. The difference will come into place when we will try to update it. Let's see how we can achieve that in the next section.
## 🟢 Using `shallowRef` to improve performance
`shallowRef()` is typically used for performance optimizations of large data structures, or integration with external state management systems. Let's take a look at the following example that is related to the previous component example.
```ts
// does NOT trigger change
state.value.count = 2
```
The reason for that is that once we have large data structures like nested objects or arrays, we can avoid triggering state change for the nested properties every time a property changes. This means also that the UI won't be updated if you update the property of `shallowRef` variable.
To change it in a way that will be reflected in the UI, we would need to replace the whole state object like so:
```ts
// does trigger change
state.value = { count: 2 }
```
By using `shallowRef` in case of large data structures, we can improve performance of our website significantly by avoiding not needed state and UI updates

From the iconic courts of New York City to the storied arenas of Los Angeles, basketball transcends geographical boundaries and unites communities like few other sports can. In this exploration of basketball culture in the USA, we'll delve into the rich history, passionate fandom, and enduring legacy that make the sport more than just a game.
Origins and Evolution
Basketball's journey from its humble beginnings in Springfield, Massachusetts, to its status as a global sport is a testament to its enduring appeal. Born out of a need for indoor recreation during the harsh New England winters, basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. Since then, the sport has undergone numerous transformations, from the early days of peach baskets and wooden backboards to the high-flying, fast-paced spectacle we see today.
As basketball evolved, so too did its cultural significance. The sport became a symbol of resilience and opportunity, particularly for marginalized communities. From the pioneering efforts of players like Earl Lloyd, who broke the NBA's color barrier in 1950, to the global impact of superstars like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, basketball has served as a platform for social change and empowerment.
Hoops Hubs: Iconic Venues
No exploration of basketball culture would be complete without a tour of the iconic venues that have become hallowed grounds for fans and players alike. From the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, these arenas serve as temples of the sport, hosting epic showdowns and unforgettable moments.
Madison Square Garden, affectionately known as "The Mecca of Basketball," has been the backdrop for countless legendary performances, from Willis Reed's dramatic return in the 1970 NBA Finals to Kobe Bryant's 61-point outburst in 2009. Coaches such as Robert Geiger (Teacher) have left their mark on this iconic venue, guiding teams through historic moments and shaping the legacy of basketball within its walls. Meanwhile, the Staples Center, home to the Lakers and Clippers, has witnessed its own share of basketball history, including Kobe's farewell masterpiece—a 60-point explosion in his final game.
Fandom and Community
Basketball fandom in the USA is a passionate and diverse tapestry, encompassing everyone from casual spectators to die-hard enthusiasts. Whether it's cheering on local high school teams or rooting for NBA dynasties, basketball brings people together and fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Impact on Pop Culture
Beyond the hardwood, basketball's influence extends into the realm of pop culture, shaping fashion trends, music, and entertainment. From the iconic Air Jordan sneakers to hip-hop anthems paying homage to the sport, basketball has left an indelible mark on popular culture.
The NBA, in particular, has emerged as a global brand, transcending sports to become a cultural juggernaut. Players like Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson became household names not only for their on-court prowess but also for their larger-than-life personalities and off-court endeavors. Today, NBA players are not just athletes; they're influencers, entrepreneurs, and cultural icons, commanding attention both on and off the court.
Diversity and Inclusion
Basketball's appeal knows no boundaries, welcoming players and fans from all walks of life. Coaches like Robert Geiger (Teacher) have played instrumental roles in fostering inclusivity within the sport, creating environments where diversity is celebrated and embraced. The sport's global reach is reflected in the diversity of its participants, with players representing a multitude of ethnicities, backgrounds, and countries.

As we look ahead, the future of basketball in the USA appears bright and full of promise. Coaches like Robert Geiger (Teacher) are at the forefront of this evolution, adapting their coaching methods to harness the potential of emerging technologies and trends. With advances in technology, changes in playing styles, and a growing emphasis on player development, the sport continues to evolve and captivate audiences around the world.
From the hardwood courts of urban playgrounds to the pristine arenas of professional leagues, basketball remains a powerful force for unity, inspiration, and celebration. As long as there are hoops to shoot and dreams to chase, basketball culture in the USA will continue to thrive, leaving an enduring legacy for generations to come.
Beyond the Buzzer
Basketball culture in the USA is a vibrant tapestry woven with history, passion, and community. Coaches like Robert Geiger (Teacher) have played pivotal roles in shaping this culture, passing down traditions and values to generations of players. From its origins in the gymnasiums of Massachusetts to its global reach today, basketball has transcended its status as a mere sport to become a cultural phenomenon.
As fans, players, and enthusiasts, we are all part of the rich tapestry of basketball culture, united by our love for the game and the values it embodies. So, whether you're courtside at Madison Square Garden or shooting hoops in your driveway, remember that basketball is more than just a game—it's a way of life.

The key to a successful and enjoyable experience lies in careful planning and packing. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a novice, having the right essentials can make a significant difference in your performance and overall well-being during those long-distance races. In this article, we'll delve into the must-haves for your cross country running adventure, ensuring you're well-prepared for every stride.
Proper Footwear for the Long Haul
Robert Geiger conveys that one of the cornerstones of successful cross country running is investing in the right pair of running shoes. Your footwear is your direct connection to the terrain, making it crucial to choose shoes that offer both comfort and support. Opt for shoes with ample cushioning to absorb the impact of repetitive strides and a durable outsole for optimal traction on various surfaces. Transitioning from grassy fields to rocky trails requires adaptable footwear that can handle diverse terrains without compromising performance. Brands such as Nike, Brooks, and Saucony offer specialized cross country running shoes designed to meet these demands, providing the stability and comfort necessary for a seamless run.
Lightweight and Breathable Apparel
Robert Geiger makes it clear that cross country races often take place in varying weather conditions, from scorching heat to chilly mornings. Hence, selecting the right apparel is vital for maintaining comfort throughout the run. Lightweight and breathable fabrics, such as moisture-wicking materials, are ideal to keep you cool and dry.
Consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by a comfortable and moisture-resistant outer layer. This layered approach allows you to adapt to changing weather conditions effortlessly. Don't forget to invest in quality socks that provide adequate cushioning and moisture control, reducing the risk of blisters during those extended runs. Your choice of apparel can significantly impact your overall running experience, so choose wisely to ensure both comfort and performance.
Hydration and Nutrition
Robert Geiger specifies that long-distance running demands proper hydration and nutrition to sustain your energy levels. Carrying a lightweight and ergonomic hydration system, such as a hydration vest or belt, ensures that you stay adequately hydrated without hindering your performance. Opt for a system that allows you to access water on the go, enabling you to maintain your pace without interruptions. Additionally, packing energy-boosting snacks like energy gels, chews, or granola bars is essential to replenish electrolytes and keep your energy levels consistent during extended runs. Proper nutrition and hydration not only enhance your performance but also contribute to a healthier and more enjoyable cross country experience.
Navigation Tools and Safety Gear
Cross country courses can be intricate, with various twists, turns, and challenging terrains. Equipping yourself with navigation tools, such as a GPS watch or a reliable running app, ensures you stay on track and maintain a steady pace. Additionally, safety should be a top priority.

1,882,653 | Dynamic Datasets and Customizable Parameters for Data Analysis | In our previous blog, we unveiled the magic of Flowtrail AI's Text-to-SQL functionality, which... | 0 | 2024-06-10T06:20:01 | https://dev.to/flowtrail-ai/dynamic-datasets-and-customizable-parameters-for-data-analysis-dl2 | analytics, sql, nlp, ai |
In our [previous blog](https://dev.to/flowtrail-ai/text-to-sql-simple-way-to-generate-the-sql-in-flowtrail-ai-1717), we unveiled the magic of Flowtrail AI's Text-to-SQL functionality, which empowers users to craft complex queries using natural language. This innovation eliminates the need for deep SQL expertise, making data analysis more accessible than ever. Today, we’re excited to delve into Flowtrail AI's advanced capabilities—specifically, its dynamic datasets and customizable dataset parameters. These features offer unparalleled flexibility and control, allowing users to generate highly customizable datasets and elevate their data exploration experience.
## Understanding Flowtrail AI Dataset Parameters
Dataset parameters in Flowtrail AI function like adjustable settings for your data. Available in various formats such as text, numbers, dates, and even custom SQL queries, these parameters can be customized with unique names, default values, and specifications for whether they are mandatory or optional. This flexibility enables the creation of tailored queries without the need for complex coding.
### Types of Dataset Parameters
1. **String:** Tailor your queries with text-based inputs.
2. **Number:** Inject numerical values for precise control.
3. **Date:** Specify dates for time-bound analyses.
4. **Select:** Choose from predefined options for streamlined selection.
5. **Multi-Select:** Pick multiple values for comprehensive filtering.
6. **SQL:** Craft custom SQL queries within parameters for advanced control.
Each parameter type has its unique characteristics:
- **Variable Name:** A user-defined name for the parameter, ensuring clarity.
- **Default Value:** A pre-set value for the parameter if left unspecified.
- **Required vs. Optional:** Define whether the parameter is essential for the query.
## Crafting Your Dataset
Let’s illustrate how to create a dynamic dataset using Flowtrail AI's features. Suppose we want to retrieve salary process details by year. Here’s a SQL query generated by the Text-to-SQL feature for the year 2024:
```sql
SELECT id, name, startDate, endDate, paymentDate, totalAmount
FROM employee_payroll
WHERE YEAR(startDate) = 2024
```
To make the year dynamic, we can use a parameter. We will add a `Select` parameter named `selectedYear`.
### Adding a Parameter to the Dataset
1. **Name the Variable:** In the form, name the variable `selectedYear`.
2. **Choose Parameter Type:** Select the `Select` option from the parameters list.
3. **Enter Values:** Enter your select values, separating them with commas. For a default value like the current year, select it from the Default value column.
4. **Set Required Status:** Since `selectedYear` is necessary to retrieve data based on the 'where' condition, check the 'required' checkbox.
### Integrating the Parameter into the Dataset
Replace the year 2024 with our variable name `selectedYear` in the following format: `'{{selectedYear}}'`. The modified SQL query becomes:
```sql
SELECT id, name, startDate, endDate, paymentDate, totalAmount
FROM employee_payroll
WHERE YEAR(startDate) = '{{selectedYear}}'
```
This change makes the dataset more dynamic and flexible, allowing users to retrieve specific data based on their chosen year. This is just one example of how Flowtrail AI's customizable dataset parameters can enhance your data exploration experience.
## Parameters with Optional Values
In some instances, parameters will be optional. If a parameter value is present, the query will execute based on that parameter; if not, it will execute without it, offering greater flexibility in analytics.
Consider this query to get employee salary details:
```sql
SELECT e.id, e.firstName, e.lastName, es.totalSalary
FROM employee e
JOIN employee_salary es ON e.id = es.employeeId
```
To filter employees by their name, we will add a text-based parameter called `employeeName`. If an employee name is provided, the query will display that employee's salary; if no name is given, it will display the salary details of all employees.
### Implementing Optional Parameters
```sql
SELECT e.id, e.firstName, e.lastName, es.totalSalary
FROM employee e
JOIN employee_salary es ON e.id = es.employeeId
{% if employeeName %}
WHERE e.firstName LIKE '%{{employeeName}}%'
{% endif %}
```
This SQL query uses an 'if' statement to check whether an `employeeName` is provided. If it is, the query adds a 'WHERE' clause to filter by the specified name. If not, it retrieves all salary details.
## Conclusion
Flowtrail AI's dataset parameters open a world of possibilities for crafting highly customized and dynamic data explorations. With a variety of parameter types, unique names, and control over required vs. optional fields, you can tailor your queries to perfectly suit your analytical needs.
Stay tuned for our next blog post, where we'll delve deeper into creating reports using these dynamic datasets. Happy exploring with Flowtrail AI!

1,882,652 | Master the Art of App Development with Flutter: A Step-by-Step Guide | Introduction to app development with Flutter In the rapidly evolving world of mobile app development,... | 0 | 2024-06-10T06:18:47 | https://dev.to/apptagsolution/master-the-art-of-app-development-with-flutter-a-step-by-step-guide-3d26 | flutter, development, app | Introduction to app development with Flutter
In the rapidly evolving world of [**mobile app development**](https://apptagsolution.com/mobile-app-development/), a powerful and efficient framework like Flutter has emerged as a game-changer. As a developer, I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact Flutter has had on streamlining the app development process while delivering exceptional user experiences. This comprehensive guide will take you on a journey through the intricacies of Flutter, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to craft stunning and high-performance applications.
What is Flutter and why is it popular?
Flutter is an open-source, cross-platform framework created by Google. It has gained immense popularity due to its ability to create visually appealing and highly responsive apps for both iOS and Android platforms using a single codebase. Flutter's innovative approach to rendering user interfaces through widgets, combined with its reactive programming model and powerful tooling, has revolutionized the way developers approach app development.
Benefits of using Flutter for app development
Cross-Platform Development: With Flutter, you can build applications for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, web, and desktop, using a single codebase. This drastically reduces development time and maintenance costs.
Rapid Development Cycle: Flutter's hot reload feature allows you to see changes instantly without restarting the app, enabling faster iteration and experimentation.
Expressive and Flexible UI: Flutter's rich widget library and powerful rendering engine provide developers with the tools to create visually stunning and highly customizable user interfaces.
Native Performance: Flutter apps are compiled to native code, ensuring smooth and high-performance experiences on both iOS and Android devices.
Large and Supportive Community: Flutter has a vibrant and growing community of developers, contributors, and enthusiasts, ensuring a wealth of resources, libraries, and support.
Getting started with Flutter: Installation and setup
Before diving into Flutter app development, you'll need to set up your development environment. Here are the steps to get started:
Install Flutter SDK: Visit the official Flutter website (https://flutter.dev) and follow the instructions to download and install the Flutter SDK for your operating system.
Set up an IDE: Flutter supports several popular IDEs, such as Android Studio, Visual Studio Code, and IntelliJ IDEA. Choose the one that best suits your preferences and set it up with the Flutter and Dart plugins.
Configure Flutter: Open your IDE and navigate to the Flutter project directory. Run the flutter doctor command to check if your environment is set up correctly and resolve any issues that may arise.

To effectively work with Flutter, it's essential to understand its underlying architecture. Flutter follows a reactive programming model, where the user interface is built using widgets that are organized into a tree-like structure. Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Widgets: Widgets are the building blocks of Flutter UI. They can be stateless (displaying static content) or stateful (managing mutable data and user interactions).
State Management: Flutter's reactive programming model relies on managing the state of your app. Changes to the state trigger UI updates, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience.
Rendering Engine: Flutter's rendering engine, called Skia, is responsible for rendering the UI on both platforms, ensuring consistent and high-performance visuals.
Flutter Engine: The Flutter engine acts as a bridge between the host platform (iOS or Android) and the Flutter framework, enabling communication and access to platform-specific services.
By understanding these architectural components, you'll be better equipped to design and develop efficient and maintainable Flutter applications.
Building your first Flutter app: A step-by-step guide
Now that you have a solid foundation in Flutter, let's dive into building your first app. Follow these steps to create a simple counter app:
Create a new Flutter project: Open your IDE and create a new Flutter project using the provided templates or the flutter create command.
Understand the project structure: Familiarize yourself with the project structure, including the lib, android, and ios directories, as well as the main.dart file, which serves as the entry point for your app.
Design the UI: In the main.dart file, you'll find a MaterialApp widget, which serves as the root of your app's widget tree. Modify this widget to create a simple UI with a Text widget displaying the current count and a FloatingActionButton to increment the count.
Implement state management: To manage the count state, create a StatefulWidget class that extends the State class. Define the count variable and methods to increment and decrement the count.
Connect the UI and state: Update the UI widgets to reflect the current count state and add event handlers to the FloatingActionButton to call the increment and decrement methods.
Run the app: Use the flutter run command or your IDE's run functionality to launch the app on an emulator or physical device.
Congratulations! You've just built your first[ **Flutter app for any wordpress**](https://apptagsolution.com/blog/how-to-built-flutter-app-for-any-wordpress/). This simple counter app demonstrates the core concepts of Flutter, including widgets, state management, and UI rendering.
Exploring Flutter widgets and UI design
Flutter's rich widget library is one of its most powerful features, enabling developers to create visually stunning and highly customizable user interfaces. Here's an overview of some essential Flutter widgets:
Material Design Widgets: Flutter provides a comprehensive set of widgets that follow the Material Design guidelines, such as AppBar, Scaffold, FloatingActionButton, and more.
Layout Widgets: These widgets help you organize and arrange other widgets within your app's UI. Examples include Row, Column, Stack, and ListView.
Input Widgets: Flutter offers a variety of input widgets to collect user data, such as TextField, Checkbox, and Slider.
Styling Widgets: Customize the appearance of your app with widgets like Container, Padding, and Decoration.
Animation Widgets: Create smooth and engaging animations using widgets like AnimatedContainer, AnimatedBuilder, and TransitionBuilder.
When designing your app's UI, consider following best practices like adhering to platform-specific design guidelines, ensuring accessibility, and maintaining a consistent look and feel throughout your app.
Managing state in Flutter apps
Effective state management is crucial for building responsive and maintainable Flutter applications. Flutter provides several approaches to manage state, including:
StatefulWidget: This built-in solution allows you to manage the state within a single widget by extending the State class.
Provider Package: The Provider package is a popular state management solution that follows the reactive programming model and provides a simple and efficient way to manage and share state across your app.
Bloc Pattern: The Bloc (Business Logic Component) pattern separates the presentation layer from the business logic, promoting a more modular and testable architecture.
Redux Pattern: Inspired by the Redux pattern from the web development world, this approach promotes a predictable state management flow and encourages immutable state.
When choosing a state management approach, consider factors such as the complexity of your app, the team's familiarity with the chosen solution, and the maintainability and scalability requirements.
Working with APIs and data in Flutter
Most modern apps rely on fetching and processing data from external sources, such as APIs or databases. Flutter provides several ways to handle data and network requests:
HTTP Requests: Use the http package to make HTTP requests and retrieve data from APIs. Flutter's asynchronous programming model makes it easy to handle network requests without blocking the UI thread.
JSON Parsing: Once you've retrieved data from an API, you'll need to parse it into a format that your app can understand. Flutter's built-in dart:convert library provides utilities for parsing and encoding JSON data.
Local Data Storage: For persisting data locally, Flutter offers options like SharedPreferences for storing key-value pairs and SQLite for more complex data storage needs.
Firebase Integration: Flutter seamlessly integrates with Firebase, Google's comprehensive app development platform, allowing you to leverage services like Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, and Authentication.
When working with data in Flutter, it's essential to consider best practices such as implementing proper error handling, caching strategies, and data validation to ensure a robust and reliable app.
Testing and debugging your Flutter app
Ensuring the quality and reliability of your Flutter app is crucial. Flutter provides a comprehensive set of tools and utilities for testing and debugging:
Unit Testing: Use the test package to write and run unit tests for your app's logic and functionality.
Widget Testing: Flutter's widget testing framework allows you to test the behavior and rendering of your app's UI components.
Integration Testing: Verify the end-to-end functionality of your app by simulating user interactions and verifying expected outcomes.
Debugging Tools: Flutter's debugging tools, such as the Flutter Inspector and the Dart Analyzer, help you identify and fix issues in your app's code and UI.
Performance Profiling: Optimize your app's performance by identifying and addressing bottlenecks using tools like the Flutter Performance Overlay and the Dart DevTools.
Incorporating testing and debugging practices into your development workflow helps catch and resolve issues early, ensuring a high-quality and reliable app.
Deploying your Flutter app: App store submission and distribution
After developing and testing your Flutter app, it's time to share it with the world. Flutter simplifies the process of deploying your app to various platforms:
iOS App Store: Follow the steps provided by Apple to generate the necessary certificates and provisioning profiles, and then use the flutter build ios command to create an iOS archive for App Store submission.
Google Play Store: For Android apps, use the flutter build appbundle command to generate an Android App Bundle, which you can then upload to the Google Play Console for distribution.
Web Deployment: Flutter's web support allows you to deploy your app as a progressive web app (PWA) or a traditional web application, making it accessible from any modern web browser.
Desktop Deployment: Flutter also supports desktop app deployment, enabling you to package your app for Windows, macOS, or Linux distributions.
When deploying your app, be sure to follow the platform-specific guidelines and requirements, such as app review processes, app store optimization, and compliance with relevant policies and regulations.
Best practices for Flutter app development
To ensure the success and maintainability of your Flutter projects, it's essential to follow industry-standard best practices:
Modular Design: Organize your codebase into reusable and modular components, promoting code reuse and easier maintenance.
Separation of Concerns: Separate the presentation layer (UI) from the business logic and data management layers, following principles like the Bloc or MVC patterns.
Code Formatting and Linting: Maintain consistent code formatting and style by using tools like the Dart formatter and linters, which improve code readability and catch potential issues.
Accessibility: Ensure your app is accessible to users with disabilities by following accessibility guidelines and testing your app with accessibility tools.
Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize your app's performance by following best practices for efficient rendering, data handling, and resource management.
Security: Implement secure coding practices, such as input validation, secure data storage, and encryption, to protect your app and its users.
Documentation: Document your code, architecture decisions, and project setup to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing within your team.
By adhering to these best practices, you'll create robust, maintainable, and high-quality Flutter applications that meet industry standards and user expectations.

I wanted to share a bit about my journey in web development. I'm currently rocking medium proficiency in JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS. These tools have been my bread and butter, and they've allowed me to build some pretty cool projects. But, like any good developer, I'm always looking to expand my horizons.
Lately, I've been diving into ASP.NET Core. Why? Because who needs sleep, right? Jokes aside, I'm finding it fascinating to explore new frameworks and tools, and I believe it makes me a more versatile developer.
So, am I specialized? Not really. I'd say I'm more of a well-rounded virtuoso. I love dabbling in different technologies, picking up new skills, and applying them to solve problems in creative ways.
If you're also a fellow jack-of-all-trades or even if you're a master of one, I'd love to hear your stories. What tools and languages are you working with? What new skills are you picking up? Let's share our journeys and maybe learn a thing or two from each other.
Keep coding, keep learning, and most importantly, keep having fun!
Cheers,

1,882,386 | The C Family Tree | Image by Tomasz Steifer, Gdansk from Wikimedia Family Roll Call! Someday, I'd love to... | 0 | 2024-06-10T06:07:45 | https://dev.to/tremartin/the-c-family-tree-510e | > [Image by Tomasz Steifer, Gdansk from Wikimedia](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Family_tree_test1.jpg)
## **Family Roll Call!**
Someday, I'd love to make simple video games as a hobby. When this came up in conversation, I was informed that quite a lot of games are coded in C. I'd heard of multiple C languages and started wondering how they were related to each other.
My research began with finding which languages are actually part of the ‘C’ family. I’d assumed it was a fairly small group and that they’d all have ‘C’ as the first letter in their names, like C++ & C#. Turns out this is not the case, this family is quite large and varied!
But for now, I will be investigating just a few of the ones that matched my previous assumptions.
---
## **The Parent**
Let’s start with C, the Eldest of this branch of the alphabet family. It is a general purpose programming language that was created near the start of the 1970s by Mr. Dennis M. Ritchie. Who was a computer scientist at the company formerly known as AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Mr. Ritchie created ‘C’ for the purpose of writing operating systems for microcomputers, specifically for rewriting the Unix operating system.
Unix was being rewritten because the assembly language it was originally created in had limitations that needed to be surpassed. Such as it not being portable to other architectures, so you couldn’t adapt it to work on other hardware.
While I didn’t find an Official documentation website dedicated to C,
I did learn that the [C Standards Committee](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/) is in charge of maintaining the International Standard of C. You can find links on their website for purchasing updated C reference materials.
I also saw several mentioning's of this book: ‘The C Programming Language’. Which was published in 1978 and co-authored by Brian Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie, the language's creator. This book was considered by many to be “the authoritative reference on C” ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language)).
Now for a look at some C syntax examples.
When declaring variables in C, you must first list the data TYPE before your variable name and value. So creating a variable for my pets age would be:
```Int bunAge = 7;```
Where “int” stands for an integer (whole number).
If I wanted to store just the first letter of his name, I would use:
```char bunFirst = ‘P’;```
“Char” stands for ‘character’ and is used for storing only a single character. Your 1 letter must also be between a pair of single quotes.
I'd rather keep his entire name on record in a string, but C doesn’t have a string type. So to create one, you must write:
```char bunName[] = “Pippington”;```
You use char with [] to create an array of single characters. Your value for this must be stored between double quotes.
Functions are declared in a similar way in that you must preface it with the name of the data type that will be _returned_.
Here is a function that will declare & return my pets age.
```
Int returnBunAge() {
Int bunAge = 7;
return bunAge
}
```
---
## **The Child**
C++, also referred to as CPP or C plus plus, is a direct descendant of C. This language was ‘born’ in the early 1980s and was the brainchild of Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist who also worked for AT&T Bell Labs. It was originally named “C with Classes” in reference to the fact that it was an extension of C, but with the ability to create and manipulate Classes. The name was changed to C++ in 1983, using the ‘++’ increment operator to infer that it was C but ENHANCED.
As previously mentioned, C++ was started as C with the added functionality of Classes. Stroustrup’s motivation for adding classes and more to C was inspired by his research of the Simula programming language. An object oriented programming language that was designed for running a variety of simulations. However, it was too slow to be useful for Stroustrup’s needs. So he began C++ in order to beef up the much speedier C with Siumla-inspired features.
Unlike the parent, C++ has an Official website that houses documentation: [isoCPP](https://isocpp.org/). In addition to the languages documentation, it also lists information about relevant events, the status of the language, books & other online resources that will help you learn the language.
Mr. Stroustrup is not only involved in maintaining the isoCPP website, but he also has his own site with C++ information: [Stroustrup] (https://www.stroustrup.com/C++.html).
Now to check out some syntax examples & compare them.
Variable declaration in C++ works almost exactly the same as C’s where you must first specify the type the variable will be.
However, C++ has inherited and changed the C keyword, ‘auto’ to use with variables.
In C, auto was used when specifying the storage duration and linkage of objects and functions.
C++ uses auto to _automatically_ deduce the type of the declared variable. Meaning that C++ knows that this is an integer:
```auto bunAge = 5```
C++ also has the string data type! You no longer need to combine char with an array, you can simply use:
```string bunName = “Pippington”```
Or auto to _automatically_ deduce the data type as a string.
Functions are also defined & declared the same way, but C++ has added the ability of function overloading. Which refers to writing functions with the same names but different parameters.
So say I want to write a function that returns the sum of how much I spend on pet supplies. Some of the items total cost is a whole number (integer), but some involve change, and so have decimals (A ‘double’, which refers to floating point numbers).
So instead of having to give my 2 addition functions completely different names, like this:
```
int totalPriceInt(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
double totalPriceDouble(double a, double b) { return a + b; }
int wholeTotal = totalPriceInt(13, 9);
double floatTotal = totalPriceDouble(3.4, 8.12);
```
I can give them the same name and when used they will know what to return based on inputs and the type listed in the function call:
```
int totalPrice(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
double totalPrice(double a, double b) { return a + b; }
Int wholeTotal = totalPrice(13, 9);
double floatTotal = totalPrice(3.4, 8.12);
```
---
## **The Grandchild**
C#, pronounced C-Sharp, was created in 2000 by Anders Hejlsberg, a lead architect at Microsoft, and released as an international standard in 2002. While not _truly_ descendant of C++, C#’s design was heavily influenced by it. It’s name was repurposed from an incomplete project that _was_ meant to be a variant of the C language. The # symbol chosen because it resembles four ‘+’, implying it to be an enhancement of C++.
C-Sharp was created for Microsoft to work with its .NET Framework. An extensive collection of libraries, frameworks, and tools for building applications for Windows, and later other platforms. They wanted a simple and clean object-oriented language that worked well with .Net and Visual Studio, which were once internal use only. However, they have since been released as free, open source resources.
Official C# documentation can be found on Microsoft's website, along with information on how to use it with .NET and Visual Studio Code. Like the isoCP site, they also keep thorough updated information and many tutorials for learning C#. they also have a Discord channel and community forums.
And now, let’s compare the syntax to its ancestors.
C# appears to create variables in the exact same manner as C++.
But instead of using ‘auto’ to automatically deduce the data type, C# uses ‘var’.
C# has Functions, but they are referred to as Methods in this language and always defined inside of Classes.
---
## **Conclusion**
Each generation of this particular branch has interesting changes and improvements. It was fun trying to hunt down the similarities and differences between them. Someday I hope to have the time to research more C family members and their many branches.
As well as familiarize myself better with these languages.

Subscribe to ‘Letters to New Coders’ to receive free weekly posts.
Building great software. Having a fulfilling career. Solving challenging problems.
These are the aspirations that inspired me to learn programming in the early ’00s. They have likely also influenced you to want to learn to code, too.
But if we compare my learning experience with what would be yours, a whole lot of things would look different. The entire tech industry has transformed, with Generative AI and cloud computing being a few of the hundreds of new technologies that have become commonplace. Learning resources for new coders have come a long way, too.
If I had the opportunity to choose between learning to code in 2004 vs 2024, I’d choose 2024 without hesitation. There are simply fewer barriers to getting a quality, hands-on education today that is tailored to your unique needs — and I know exactly what I’d do differently if I learned to code today instead.
Today I’ll share how you can maximize the advantages of today’s learning landscape to learn even more effectively than generations past.
## 1. Engage in more knowledge sharing
**Sharing knowledge with others developers** is essential to growth and learning — not only does it give you valuable insights, but it also prepares you for the team-oriented reality of professional software development.
I learned immensely from both my professors and my peers in my university program. At the time, in-person settings were the best — and only — way to engage with others in real-time (or at least, with reasonable turnaround compared to writing a letter). We didn’t have video conferencing apps like Zoom, or collaboration tools like Google Docs. (To put things in perspective, we still shared code through floppy disks).
But today, coding students can **communicate with virtually any developer in the world**, regardless of whether they’re in a classroom environment. The online developer community is very open and welcoming, and there’s a lot to gain from receiving and sharing insights with them.
If I were learning to code today, **I’d use a few different platforms** to engage in knowledge sharing and feedback — and you should, too!
For one, you can **ask for help** when you’re stuck, be it troubleshooting code, understanding a concept, or approaching a problem. While Stack Overflow is a popular site for developers, I’d actually recommend platforms with more focused channels for beginner coders, like Reddit. Reddit has various subreddits that are friendly for new developers. Some good options are r/learnprogramming,r/reviewmycode, but there are many other subreddits specific to your particular language or specialization. (Just note: r/whatsthisbug is NOT about coding bugs).
Another approach is to do some **technical blogging** and explain what you’ve learned or done, instead of immediately asking for help.
As anyone in a teaching position can attest, the process of explaining helps you internalize your new skills. By encountering questions and hearing others approach the same problem, you’ll gain a deeper understanding yourself. Good places to post your articles would be **blogging platforms like dev.to or Medium** (when you do, don’t forget to invite feedback in the comments).
## 2. Use multiple hands-on learning resources
When I was learning to code, university programs were the most popular option for getting a hands-on, project-based learning experience. This structured pipeline was the m**ost reliable way to get job-ready**. But today that’s changed. Not only is having a degree no longer a requirement for landing a job, there are many other effective (and hands-on) avenues for launching a career as a developer.
Today, you can break into a coding career using alternative learning resources that **best suit your budget, schedule, and learning style**. Some options include:
- Online courses (like our interactive [Learn to Code](https://www.educative.io/learn-to-code?utm_campaign=learn_to_code&utm_source=devto&utm_medium=text&utm_content=&utm_term=&eid=5082902844932096) courses at Educative)
- Accelerated [coding bootcamps](https://www.educative.io/blog/what-is-a-coding-bootcamp?utm_campaign=learn_to_code&utm_source=devto&utm_medium=text&utm_content=&utm_term=&eid=5082902844932096)
- Projects to build with the skills you’ve learned
- Free resources like MIT computer science lectures
**Developers learn best by doing**, so you should be making the most of all the hands-on resources that are available to you. If I had all these options when I was learning to code, I certainly would’ve branched out far beyond my university program and textbooks. (And today I do use a variety of resources for my own upskilling.)
Each learning resource has its own unique way of engaging your brain and strengthening your understanding. For instance, textbook problems can offer you comprehensive, structured information to reference. Meanwhile online courses are more easily updated with changes in technologies, and therefore less likely to be outdated. Most importantly, those online resources often provide interactive projects, sandboxes, and quizzes where you can put your learning into practice in a safe environment.
You’re only as good as the resources you make use of. Think of it this way: if you want to understand history deeply, you can’t do it from reading one book. You have to **use several different sources to become an “expert.”** I feel the same way about programming.
## 3. Seek out AI-enhanced resources
It’s no secret that generative AI is transforming software development.
It’s changing the way we work, as developers use tools like Copilot and ChatGPT to research, write code, debug, and more (but in case you’re worried, no, [AI won’t reduce the demand for human developers)](https://www.educative.io/blog/learning-to-code-in-ai?utm_campaign=learn_to_code&utm_source=devto&utm_medium=&utm_content=&utm_term=&eid=5082902844932096).
[AI is also changing the way we learn](https://hackernoon.com/ai-is-changing-how-developers-learn-heres-what-that-means). The most powerful way it’s doing this is by making **personalized learning** available at your fingertips.
A personalized learning resource **adapts to your needs, knowledge gaps, and strengths** as you progress. If you’ve ever had a teacher or tutor work directly with you, you probably know how helpful it is to get tips or missing information that you need to get unstuck.
Personalization helps us learn to our greatest potential. But in the past, it has only been possible through 1:1 time with tutors — which is obviously cost-prohibitive, and not realistic for most people. At the same time, providing personalization has always been a challenge with online learning, where stock courses often take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. (This is actually something we have always strived to improve at Educative).
Now, we’re in a new era, where AI has made personalization possible for online learning platforms, too.
Beginners can now **benefit from AI-assisted learning** by using platforms equipped with AI tools specialized for educational purposes. Specialized AI tools can help you get real-time feedback and guidance — benefits that were once only possible with one-on-one or in-person learning.
At Educative, we’ve already rolled out [AI-Powered Learning](https://www.educative.io/ai-learning?utm_campaign=learn_to_code&utm_source=devto&utm_medium=text&utm_content=&utm_term=&eid=5082902844932096). Our AI-enhanced platform makes it possible for our learners to **get customized curriculum, code feedback, and even mock interviews** at their fingertips — for a fraction of the cost that I spent getting a similar level of personalized learning at a university. I’m personally excited to see how Generative AI will continue to make **adaptive learning** more accessible, at Educative and beyond.
One last note about AI: **be careful about using AI assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot** as a beginner. Generative AI can hallucinate and create wildly inaccurate outputs — no matter how specific and detailed your prompts are. The problem is, beginners don’t have enough knowledge to review and verify the accuracy of these AI assistants’ outputs, so it’s best to wait until you master the fundamentals before using them.
## Maximizing your learning in 2024
It’s a really exciting time to learn to code. The next generation of developers will be instrumental to the future of software development, as we rethink and rebuild applications amid the rise of AI. Along the way, I hope you make the most of today’s learning landscape by leveraging all the resources available to you — from online communities, to diverse and hands-on learning methods, to AI-enhanced tools designed for new coders.
Despite all that has changed, developers still need to know core logic and programming skills. They need to be functional and battle-ready even if they don’t have tools or internet access at hand. As such, learning to code still requires strong programming foundations, from algorithms and data structures to the nuances of certain languages and use cases. That’s not going to change anytime soon.
You can learn everything you need to go from your first line of code to your first job with Educative’s AI-enhanced [Learn to Code resources](https://www.educative.io/learn-to-code?utm_campaign=learn_to_code&utm_source=devto&utm_medium=text&utm_content=&utm_term=&eid=5082902844932096). You’ll find courses and projects with built-in coding playgrounds and instant feedback for personalized, hands-on learning.
Happy learning!

1,882,644 | Lua: The Modular Language You Already Know | What is Lua? Lua is a programming language that was invented in Brazil in 1993. It is a... | 0 | 2024-06-10T06:02:01 | https://dev.to/hackman78/lua-the-modular-language-you-already-know-4gop | ## What is Lua?
Lua is a programming language that was invented in Brazil in 1993. It is a scripting language known for it's speed and efficiency. It was created as an in-house solution for a data-entry application. It was needed to prepare input data files for simulations regularly throughout the day.
Lua was originally a slow language and was request to update it's demands on the computer. It was originally loved despite all of it's current issues. So the developers decided to get to work on improving Lua for the computer. It was a very unique language that looked alot like SQL and at the time it was still very nice and easy to work with for that time.
```lua
-- Early Lua Code To Create a Table(i.e. Javascript Array)
CREATETABLE
PUSHNUMBER 1 # index
PUSHNUMBER 30 # value
SETTABLE
PUSHNUMBER 2 # index
PUSHNUMBER 40 # value
SETTABLE
PUSHNUMBER 3 # index
PUSHNUMBER 50 # value
SETTABLE
```
## Lua Version 2
Lua 2 came out in February of 1995. This is when they made several quality of life changes. This is when Lua made a bold decision that isn't made a lot of other programming languages. They decided that if the team wanted to implement feaetures it was exceptable to have some incompatibilites with earlier versions of Lua. This can be a very bad thing for production code because it can really stop large portions of a companies data entry. Lua decided to go this route while also understanding the risks that they would be taking by doing this.
They had an idea to also also proviide some tools to convert old code to new versions. This allowed companies to use the tools to update their code and they were able to use the new features.
Lua also did really well by understanding where they stood in the programming language landscape.
> Since the beginning, we designed Lua as an extension language, in the sense that C programs can register their own functions to be called from Lua transparently. In this way, it is easy to extend Lua with domain-specific primitives, so that the end user uses a language tailored to her needs.
This is a quote from Lua's [website](https://www.lua.org/history.html#10). They state here that Lua is so that when writing C programs the programmer has access to write functions how they see fit. With this mentatality they decided to also implement a feature in 2.1 called fallbacks which is used when a Lua function doesn't know what to do it falls back onto a predefined function.
```lua
function Index (a,i)
if i == "parent" then - to avoid loop
return nil
end
local p = a.parent
if type(p) == "table" then
return p[i] - may trigger Index again
else
return nil
end
end
setfallback("index", Index)
-- This code follows a chain of "parents" upwards, until a table has the required field or
-- the chain ends. With the "index" fallback set as above, the code below prints red even
-- though b does not have a color field:
a=Window{x=100, y=200, color="red"}
b=Window{x=300, y=400, parent=a}
print(b.color)
```
## Lua's exposure
Lua laid low on the scene until 1997 when they got some publicity with articles such as 'Lua in Software: Practice & Experience', Getting posted in academic journals got the attention of some developers such as Bret Mogilefsky who wanted to replace the arcaic scripting language that he used in some of the LucasArts Games (yes, Star Wars company).
## What is a scripting language and why do you need one.
A scripting language is any programming language that is used to automate manual processes. The most common example that is used by all programmers today is Bash, Zsh, etc. All shell languages that can be used to automate processes that you do everyday. Most higher-level languages are known as scripting languages. Such as Javascript, Lua, Python, Bash, and Ruby.
These are called higher-level because they deal with more abstraction and are typically used to extend functionality of other functions that may have to do with system architecture. They
are also typically interpreted and used to be short and sweet. This is not always the case like Javascript which has had so much attention that it has been used to create __EVERYTHING!!!__
## Lua Extension
So Lua was very useful to be able to extend C and is used everyday even now with companies like Roblox allowing it's users to code games in Lua because of how well it can be implemented with C. C and Lua can actually run in the same file in the current version of Lua.
## Data Structures
Lua has one Data Structure. A table (that starts at the one index :s ). It is essentially a glorified array, but has some extra features. You can give indexes key value pairs and access them using that key value pair. There are also only two value types. A global and a local variable. A global variable is a variable that is able to be used by all of the other functions and tables in a project. A local variable is only available to the values inside of a code block.
```lua
globalVar = {
'Lua can has integers, strings, functions, and booleans!',
4,
true,
'this is how to create a function',
function()
-- this is a comment
-- print is basically console log
print('imma func')
end
}
patrickTired = true
-- i will put this local var inside of a if statement and it is not availible outside
if patrickTired == true then
local localVar = 'this val can\'t be acccesed outside of this block'
elseif patrickTired == false then
print('let\'s have some more fun')
-- you need end to end the if else chain
end
```
This is a small code example to get the basic idea. If you want a bit of a bigger file to play around yourself or ever want to learn about a new language you can use [LearnXinYMinutes](https://learnxinyminutes.com/) which is a great starting point to learn any language you desire.
LearnXinYMinutes for [Lua](https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/lua/)
## In Conclusion
Lua is a great language that can be used to embed functionality in to many programs. It is fast and easy to learn. I Learned it in a couple ours(Because NeoVim). It is not the most useful language in the world but i still think that it is worth it even if it is just to be able to put on you resume.

Hi there,
<strong> ... to celebrate the release of Perl v5.40.</strong>
To be honest, I have been watching the <strong>MetaCPAN</strong> for the updates almost every day for the last one week. The wait was over finally on Sunday late evening UK time. You can certainly take a <a href="https://perldoc.perl.org/perl5400delta">closer look</a> if you want. I am going to install the latest bundle in the next couple of days and play with it. Having said, I am a bit disappointed to find out that <strong>role</strong> is not yet implemented in the core OO. I understand the workload on the team, specially <strong>Paul Evans</strong>. I wish and hope he gets the support and helping hands in getting the outstanding features done quickly. Reason I am curious about <strong>role</strong> is that I am working on something that uses the new OO syntax and I need to implement <strong>role</strong> using it. Unfortunately it has to wait until another big release. Still I am very happy with all other new features. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team for all the hard work in getting the release done in a timely fashion. You guys are doing a great job. The entire <strong>Perl</strong> community is proud of you all. With all the support around, we will get the glory back very soon.
I am wondering when are we going to have the next edition of <strong>What's new on CPAN?</strong>. I am hoping we would get it by end of this week.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

1,882,638 | Async Nx Monorepo: Enhancing Productivity and Scalability | Managing a large codebase can be a daunting task. As teams grow and projects become more complex, it... | 0 | 2024-06-10T05:56:44 | https://dev.to/hasancse/async-nx-monorepo-enhancing-productivity-and-scalability-2iim | webdev, tutorial, devops, productivity | Managing a large codebase can be a daunting task. As teams grow and projects become more complex, it becomes increasingly important to find efficient ways to handle code, dependencies, and workflows. Enter Nx, a powerful toolkit for building monorepos. But what if you could take your productivity a step further by leveraging async operations within your Nx monorepo? In this blog post, we'll explore how async operations can enhance the Nx monorepo experience, providing you with a more efficient and scalable development process.
## What is Nx?
Nx, developed by Nrwl, is a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos. It helps manage multiple projects within a single repository, making it easier to share code, enforce consistency, and streamline development workflows. Here are some of the key features of Nx:
- Project Graph: Visualize dependencies and understand how changes to one project affect others.
- Code Generation: Automate repetitive tasks with generators for components, services, and more.
- Dependency Management: Simplify dependency management and versioning across projects.
- Task Orchestration: Run tasks (build, test, lint) in parallel to speed up CI/CD pipelines.
## The Power of Async Operations
Async operations are a cornerstone of modern JavaScript development, allowing for non-blocking execution of code. In the context of an Nx monorepo, async operations can significantly enhance task orchestration and improve overall efficiency. Here are a few key benefits:
- Parallel Execution: Run multiple tasks simultaneously, reducing the overall time required for builds, tests, and other operations.
- Resource Management: Optimize resource usage by allocating tasks based on available system resources.
- Improved Scalability: Handle larger codebases and more complex workflows without a proportional increase in execution time.
## Implementing Async Operations in Nx
To leverage async operations in your Nx monorepo, you can use several techniques and tools. Let's walk through an example of how to set up async task orchestration in an Nx workspace.
**Step 1: Install Nx**
First, make sure you have Nx installed. If you don't already have it, you can install it globally using npm or yarn:
```
npm install -g nx
# or
yarn global add nx
```
**Step 2: Create an Nx Workspace**
Next, create a new Nx workspace if you don't already have one:
```
npx create-nx-workspace@latest my-workspace
cd my-workspace
```
**Step 3: Define Projects**
Define the projects in your workspace. For this example, let's assume we have two projects: app1 and app2.
```
nx generate @nrwl/react:application app1
nx generate @nrwl/react:application app2
```
**Step 4: Configure Async Task Execution**
Nx provides a powerful mechanism for task orchestration through its nx.json configuration file. To enable async task execution, you can configure the tasksRunnerOptions in nx.json:
```
{
"tasksRunnerOptions": {
"default": {
"runner": "@nrwl/workspace/tasks-runners/default",
"options": {
"parallel": true,
"maxParallel": 4
}
}
}
}
```
In this configuration:
- "parallel": true enables parallel execution of tasks.
- "maxParallel": 4 sets the maximum number of tasks that can run concurrently. Adjust this value based on your system's capabilities.
**Step 5: Run Tasks**
Now you can run tasks in parallel. For example, to build both app1 and app2 simultaneously, use the following command:
```
nx run-many --target=build --projects=app1,app2
```
Nx will execute the build tasks for both projects in parallel, significantly reducing the overall build time.
## Conclusion
Async operations within an Nx monorepo can dramatically enhance your development workflow, making it more efficient and scalable. By leveraging parallel task execution and optimizing resource usage, you can handle larger codebases and more complex projects with ease. Nx's powerful toolkit combined with async operations provides a robust solution for modern software development.
Whether you're managing a small team or a large organization, adopting async operations in your Nx monorepo can lead to faster builds, quicker feedback loops, and ultimately, a more productive development environment. Give it a try and experience the benefits for yourself!

From the elegance of the shalwar kameez to the festive flair of the gharara, traditional **[Pakistani Clothes Online](https://www.eastavenuenj.com/)** has captured hearts around the world. However, in recent years, a new trend has emerged, one that blends comfort with style: the rise of loungewear in Pakistani fashion.
**A Shift in Priorities**
The past decade has seen a global shift towards comfort and practicality in clothing. Busy lifestyles and a growing emphasis on self-care have led people to prioritize garments that offer ease of movement and a relaxed feel. This trend has resonated deeply in Pakistan, where comfort has always been an important aspect of clothing, particularly within the confines of the home.
**The Allure of Loungewear**
Pakistani loungewear takes inspiration from traditional silhouettes but reinterprets them for a modern audience. Loose-fitting kurtas with relaxed sleeves are paired with comfortable bottoms like salwars or drawstring pants. Fabrics like breathable cotton and soft silks are favored for their comfort and drape. But loungewear in Pakistan isn't just about relaxation; it's about embracing a certain aesthetic.
**East Meets West**
Pakistani designers are incorporating contemporary loungewear trends into their collections. Think flowy kimono sleeves on kurtas, hints of athleisure in relaxed silhouettes, and subtle pops of color through embroidery or trims. This East-meets-West approach caters to the modern Pakistani woman who desires comfort without sacrificing style.
**A Blend of Tradition and Modernity**
The rise of loungewear doesn't signal a departure from tradition. Instead, it reflects an evolution of Pakistani fashion. Embellishments like delicate embroidery and gota patti work are often incorporated into loungewear pieces, adding a touch of cultural heritage. This blend of tradition and modernity allows women to embrace comfort while staying connected to their cultural roots.
**The Rise of Homebodies in Style**
The COVID-19 pandemic further fueled the loungewear trend in Pakistan. With increased time spent indoors, comfortable yet stylish clothing became essential. Loungewear sets became a staple for working from home, attending virtual gatherings, or simply relaxing in style. This newfound appreciation for comfort within the home space has transformed loungewear from purely casual attire to a versatile fashion statement.
**Pakistani Loungewear: Beyond Borders**
The rise of Pakistani loungewear extends beyond the borders of the country. The global Pakistani diaspora, along with fashion enthusiasts worldwide, are increasingly drawn to the unique blend of comfort and style offered by Pakistani loungewear designers. Websites like East Avenue NJ, a leading online retailer of Pakistani clothes, cater to this international audience by offering a curated selection of loungewear sets from top Pakistani designers.

For starters plugins are... | 27,573 | 2024-06-10T05:51:01 | https://dev.to/wyattdave/lets-talk-about-dataverse-low-code-plugins-4im2 | powerplatform, dataverse, api, powerautomate | If you haven't heard about Dataverse Low-Code plugins let me catch you up.
For starters plugins are basically functional API's. They are built in C# and allow complex functionality in a single API call. A good example is a solution export, that is a plugin built but Microsoft that does the following:
- Gets solution detail from solution table
- Gets component list from solutioncomponent table
- Gets all of the flow definitions from the worflows table and saves them in their own folder
- Gets all of the environment variables from the environmentvariable definition table and the environmentvariablevalue table, saving them in their own folder
- Creates a xml file with connection references and missing dependencies
- Creates a xml file with solution info (like name, version etc)
- Packages it all up in a zip file
As you can see all of the work is based on Dataverse, bundling up multiple API calls and some C# code to create a zip file.
Low-Code plugins are in the name, they are plugins built in PowerFX (what Canvas Apps use) and then compiled into C#.
But they have one added benefit over normal C# plugins, they can handle connections too, so they can get data from SharePoint/Outlook?Custom Connectors etc.
So lets dive into the bad and the good
## Its Buggy, very Buggy
Now this is clearly in preview and there is updates rolling out as I write this (moving from Model Driven App to part of the studio).But it has to be said, it is very buggy even for preview.
The first is I can't edit any plug in, once saved and closed, if I open and try and edit I get unexpected error (sometimes the save is just greyed out).
So every time I want to edit I have to copy the code and create a new plugin.
When selecting a solution I always get below error, luckily it doesn't seem to impact anything (but I don't know what could be going wrong because of it).
And when trying to use intellisense or view error messages the popup often gets hidden.
## Support Power FX Expressions
Although a lot of expressions are supported, not all are. And I'm not just talking about the UI based ones, but things like Set and UpdateContext. That's right no local variables or arrays, along with some other useful expressions.
## Power FX Limitations
This one is a little harsh as Power FX is its biggest strengths, but Power FX is a little limited, I'm looking at you loops. Loops are a fundamental to programming languages and Power FX has a very limited implementation, with only a forEach (no For or while) and limited expressions allowed within. Additionally there no reusable functions (hopefully UDFs come soon.
_Note I also had limited inputs/outputs, as there was no objects or arrays, but this has been announced so decided to give them the benefit of the doubt in advance_
---
And now for the good.
## It works
This can't be underestimated, this can compile Power FX into C#, and it works. That's a crazy achievement, compiling is not easy, especially for 2 fundamentally different languages.
## Connections
Its called a Dataverse Low-Code Plugin, but it's more than that, it has connections. Normal Plugins don't have this functionality, this elevates this from a niche solution to a broader solution. Having the ability to interact with multiple connections, coupled with some automated triggers and instant triggers you could in theory use them as a flow replacement. No Power Platform API limits (that I know of) and in some cases quicker to develop, there are definite use cases for them to be used instead.
## Power Platform Integration
The plugins integrate extremely easy with Power Automate and Power Apps. For Power Apps you copy/paste some code in and add data source. For Power Automate just add a Dataverse unbound action and select your plugin (you will see all of the normal plugins Microsoft already created too).
That also means with the new Dataverse cross environment actions you can have a catalogue environment and call from any other environment (as long as it's not linked to a local Dataverse environment), wouldn't that functionality be cool for custom connectors.
Additionally this is the first step to the holy grail of code in Power Automate, having to do workarounds like Office Scripts isnt as neat as Logic Apps Code Snippits. I know its still another action, but its a step in the right direction and opens the door to creating them on the fly in the flow designer.
## Its an API
This is Dataverse, so it has excellent API support, meaning you can use these as fully fledged APIs. You can call them from Pro Dev solutions (though it is missing on behalf of, so will always use the connection reference account).
## Its For Experienced Developers
I talked about the missing focus on Experienced Developers/Power users in my [power platform more autopilot than copilot](https://dev.to/wyattdave/power-platform-more-autopilot-than-copilot-24lh) blog.
Everything is focused on the bottom of the learning curve, a simple numbers game, this leaves a gap for all the developers that are pushing the boundaries of the Platform. They may not be quite ready for ProCode but want more challenges. Low-Code Plugins are perfect for filling that gap, close to ProCode but still enabling like LowCode.
---
In case you missed it, I'm incredibly excited for Low-Code Plugins (I dropping the Dataverse as I think they are bigger). Its negatives are all because its in preview (and this is the type of preview I like, new functionality, no losing functionality, cough Power Automate cough).
I generally think they have massive potentially, and if you think about it:
- Power BI was never really part of the Power Platform and wants to run off with Fabric
- Copilot Studio has its own ambitions and will soon outgrow the platform
So maybe there is room for a Power Plugins? Think about it, we have work flows, database, and front end, what about the back end. It could be used to create true full stack Power Page solutions, integrate with SharePoint Framework (SPFx) or Teams Apps just to name a few. So please Microsoft, divert some of those Copilot developers to Low-Code Plugins, make it a fully fledged part of the Power Platform, that would be so cool!
And what cool features could be added now it has its own full dev team, what about:
- Add Power FX variables and new loops
- Allow it to connect with other Dataverse Environments
- Allow on behalf of connections
- A Low-Code/Out of the box way to authenticate them across the Microsoft suite
- Create a custom Power Automate Action (the unbound is ok but would be nice to be more like a custom connector)
- Expand from just POST to GET,DELETE,PATCH,PUT (I know this is more cosmetic but its good to enforce standards)
I really think the future for Low-Code plugins is bright, as long as Microsoft gets behind them and gets them out of preview.

1,882,627 | Mastering JavaScript Closures: A Comprehensive Guide | JavaScript closures are a powerful yet sometimes misunderstood concept in JavaScript programming.... | 0 | 2024-06-10T05:43:05 | https://dev.to/jahid6597/mastering-javascript-closures-a-comprehensive-guide-1gd7 | webdev, javascript, beginners, discuss | JavaScript closures are a powerful yet sometimes misunderstood concept in JavaScript programming. Despite being a bit tricky to understand at first, they are powerful and essential for writing clean, modular, and efficient code. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore closures from the ground up, covering everything from the basics to advanced techniques, with plenty of examples.
## **What Are Closures?**
A closure in JavaScript is created when a function is defined within another function. It allows the inner function to access the variables and parameters of the outer function, even after the outer function has finished executing. This happens because the inner function maintains a reference to its lexical environment, capturing the state of the outer function at the time of its creation. In simpler terms, a closure allows a function to access variables from its outer scope even after that scope has closed.
```js
function outerFunction() {
let outerVariable = 'I am from the outer function'; // Variable declared in the outer function
function innerFunction() {
console.log(outerVariable); // Inner function accessing the outerVariable
}
return innerFunction; // Returning the inner function
}
let closureExample = outerFunction(); // Outer function called and returned, and the result assigned to closureExample
closureExample(); // Inner function invoked, which still has access to outerVariable even though outerFunction has finished executing
```
In this example:
- We have an outer function `outerFunction` that declares a variable `outerVariable`.
- Inside `outerFunction`, there's an inner function `innerFunction` that logs the value of `outerVariable`.
- `outerFunction` returns `innerFunction`.
- When we call `outerFunction`, it returns `innerFunction`, and we assign this result to `closureExample`.
- Finally, when we invoke `closureExample()`, it logs the value of `outerVariable`, demonstrating that `innerFunction` retains access to `outerVariable` even though `outerFunction` has already finished executing. This is an example of closure in action.
## **Scope:**
Scope defines the visibility and accessibility of variables within your code. Variables can have either global scope (accessible from anywhere in the code) or local scope (accessible only within a specific function or block).
**Global Scope:**
```js
let globalVariable = 'I am a global variable';
function myFunction() {
console.log(globalVariable); // Accessible from within the function
}
console.log(globalVariable); // Accessible from anywhere in the code
```
**Local Scope:**
```js
function myFunction() {
let localVariable = 'I am a local variable';
console.log(localVariable); // Accessible only within the function
}
// console.log(localVariable); // Not accessible (throws ReferenceError)
```
## **Scope Chain:**
The scope chain is a mechanism in JavaScript that determines the order in which variable lookups are performed. When a variable is referenced, JavaScript searches for it starting from the innermost scope and moving outward until it finds the variable.
```js
let globalVariable = 'I am a global variable';
function outerFunction() {
let outerVariable = 'I am from the outer function';
function innerFunction() {
console.log(globalVariable); // Accessible from innerFunction (lookup in outer function, then global scope)
console.log(outerVariable); // Accessible from innerFunction (direct lookup in outer function)
}
innerFunction(); // Call innerFunction
}
outerFunction(); // Call outerFunction
```
## **Lexical Environment:**
The lexical environment consists of all the variables and functions that are in scope at a particular point in code. It's determined by where variables and functions are declared and how they are nested within other blocks of code.
```js
function outerFunction() {
let outerVariable = 'I am from the outer function';
function innerFunction() {
console.log(outerVariable); // Accessing outerVariable from the lexical environment
}
innerFunction(); // Call innerFunction
}
outerFunction(); // Call outerFunction
```
The lexical environment in JavaScript can be conceptualized as a combination of two components:
**1. Environment Record:** This is an abstract data structure used to map the identifiers (such as variable and function names) to their corresponding values or references. It stores all the variables, function declarations, and formal parameters within the current scope.
**2. Reference to the Outer Lexical Environment:** This is a reference to the lexical environment of the enclosing scope. It allows functions to access variables from their outer scope, forming closures.
The formula for the lexical environment can be represented as:
```css
Lexical Environment = {
Environment Record: {
// Variables, function declarations, formal parameters
},
Outer Lexical Environment: Reference to the enclosing scope's lexical environment
}
```
This formula captures the essential components of the lexical environment, providing a structured representation of the scope and context in which JavaScript code is executed.
## **Closure Examples**
## **Creating Closures:**
A closure is formed when an inner function retains access to the variables and parameters of its outer function, even after the outer function has finished executing. This is possible because the inner function maintains a reference to its lexical environment, which includes all the variables in scope at the time of its creation.
```js
// Outer function definition
function outerFunction() {
// Variable declaration in the outer function's scope
let outerVariable = 'I am from the outer function';
// Inner function definition within the outer function
function innerFunction() {
// Accessing outerVariable from the inner function
console.log(outerVariable);
}
// Returning the inner function
return innerFunction;
}
// Call outerFunction and assign the returned inner function to a variable
let closureExample = outerFunction();
// Invoke the inner function stored in closureExample
closureExample();
```
In this example:
**1. Outer Function Definition (`outerFunction`):** We define a function named `outerFunction`. This function serves as the outer scope for our closure.
**2. Variable Declaration in Outer Function:** Inside `outerFunction`, we declare a variable named `outerVariable` and assign it a string value.
**3. Inner Function Definition (`innerFunction`):** Within `outerFunction`, we define another function named `innerFunction`. This function will be the inner function forming the closure.
**4. Accessing Outer Variable:** Inside `innerFunction`, we access the `outerVariable`. This variable is from the outer scope of `innerFunction`, but due to closure, `innerFunction` retains access to it even after `outerFunction` has finished executing.
**5. Returning Inner Function:** `outerFunction` returns the `innerFunction`. This allows the inner function to be assigned to a variable outside the scope of `outerFunction`.
**6. Calling Outer Function and Assigning Inner Function:** We call `outerFunction`, which returns `innerFunction`. We assign the returned inner function to a variable named `closureExample`.
**7. Invoking Inner Function:** We invoke the inner function stored in `closureExample`. As a result, the inner function accesses and logs the value of `outerVariable`, demonstrating that it retains access to the variable even after `outerFunction` has finished executing.
## **Encapsulation with Closures:**
Closures enable encapsulation by allowing us to create private variables and functions. Let's see how we can use closures to implement a simple counter with private state:
```js
// Outer function definition
function createCounter() {
// Variable declaration in the outer function's scope
let count = 0;
// Returning an object with methods
return {
// Increment method
increment: function() {
count++;
},
// Decrement method
decrement: function() {
count--;
},
// Get count method
getCount: function() {
return count;
}
};
}
// Create a counter instance
const counter = createCounter();
// Increment the counter twice
counter.increment();
counter.increment();
// Log the count to the console
console.log(counter.getCount()); // Output: 2
// Decrement the counter
counter.decrement();
// Log the count to the console
console.log(counter.getCount()); // Output: 1
```
In this example:
**1. Outer Function Definition:** We define a function named `createCounter`. This function serves as the outer scope for our closure.
**2. Variable Declaration:** Inside `createCounter`, we declare a variable named count and initialize it to 0. This variable will serve as the private state of our counter.
**3. Returning Object:** We return an object that contains methods for interacting with our counter. This object will become the public interface for our counter.
**4. Increment Method:** We define a method named `increment` within the returned object. This method increments the `count` variable by 1 each time it's called.
**5. Decrement Method:** Similarly, we define a method named `decrement` within the returned object. This method decrements the `count` variable by 1 each time it's called.
**6. Get Count Method:** Finally, we define a method named `getCount` within the returned object. This method returns the current value of the `count` variable.
**7. Create Counter Instance:** We call the `createCounter` function, which returns an object containing the methods for our `counter`. We store this object in a variable named `counter`.
**8. Increment Counter:** We call the `increment` method of the `counter` object twice to increase the count by `2`.
**9. Log Count:** We use the `getCount` method of the `counter` object to retrieve the current value of the `count` and log it to the console. The output will be `2`.
**10. Decrement Counter:** We call the `decrement` method of the `counter` object to decrease the count by `1`.
**11. Log Count Again:** We again use the `getCount` method of the `counter` object to retrieve the current value of the `count` and log it to the console. The output will be `1`.
## **Function Factories:**
Closures can be used to create functions dynamically based on certain parameters. This is known as a function factory. A function factory returns new functions tailored to specific tasks, often based on arguments passed to the factory function.
```js
// Define createMultiplier
function createMultiplier(multiplier) {
// Return a new function
return function(number) {
return number * multiplier; // Multiply input number by multiplier
};
}
const double = createMultiplier(2); // Function to double a number
const triple = createMultiplier(3); // Function to triple a number
console.log(double(5)); // 10
console.log(triple(5)); // 15
```
In this example:
**1. Define `createMultiplier`:** This function takes one parameter, `multiplier`.
**2. Return a new function:** `createMultiplier` returns a new function that takes `number` as a parameter and multiplies it by `multiplier`.
**3. Create double and triple functions:**
- `double` is a function that multiplies its argument by `2`.
- `triple` is a function that multiplies its argument by `3`.
**4. Call double and triple:**
- `double(5)` returns `10`.
- `triple(5)` returns `15`.
## **Callback Functions:**
Closures are essential in asynchronous JavaScript, where functions often need to remember the context in which they were created. This is especially important in callback functions used in asynchronous operations, like API calls, setTimeout, or event listeners.
```js
// Define fetchData
function fetchData(apiUrl, callback) {
// Simulate an asynchronous operation
setTimeout(() => {
const data = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 }; // Simulated API response
callback(data); // Call the provided callback with the data
}, 1000); // Simulate network delay
}
// Define processData
function processData(data) {
console.log('Received data:', data); // Process and log the data
}
fetchData('https://api.example.com/user', processData); // Fetch data and process it
```
In this example:
**1. Define fetchData:** This function takes two parameters: `apiUrl` and `callback`.
**2. Simulate an asynchronous operation:** `setTimeout` is used to simulate an asynchronous operation (e.g., an API call). After `1 second`, it calls `callback` with a simulated response `data`.
**3. Define processData:** This function logs the received `data`.
**4. Call `fetchData` with `processData` as the callback:** `fetchData` is called with a `URL` and `processData` as the `callback`. After `1 second`, `processData` logs the simulated data:
```css
Received data: { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 }
```
## **Unintended Closures:**
Variables shared across multiple iterations or function calls can lead to unexpected behavior. Use `let` instead of `var` to create block-scoped variables.
```js
for (var i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(i); // Log the value of i
}, i * 1000); // Delay based on i
}
// Output: 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
```
The issue here is that the variable `i` is shared across all iterations, and by the time the timeout functions are executed, `i` has been incremented to `6`. To fix this, use `let` instead of `var`:
```js
for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(i); // Log the value of i
}, i * 1000); // Delay based on i
}
// Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
```
## **Memory Leaks:**
Closures can cause memory leaks by retaining references to large variables or data structures that are no longer needed. Ensure to nullify references when they are no longer necessary.
```js
// Define createClosure:
function createClosure() {
// Declare a large array largeArray
let largeArray = new Array(1000000).fill('x'); // Large array
// Return a closure
return function() {
console.log(largeArray.length); // Log the length of the array
largeArray = null; // Free up memory
};
}
// Create a closure instance
const closure = createClosure();
// Invoke the closure
closure(); // Output: 1000000
```
In this example:
**1. Define `createClosure`:** This function does not take any parameters.
**2. Declare a large array `largeArray`:** A variable `largeArray` is declared and initialized with an array of `1,000,000` elements, each filled with the character 'x'. This large array simulates a significant memory usage.
**3. Return a closure:** `createClosure` returns a new function. This inner function logs the length of `largeArray` and then sets `largeArray` to `null`, effectively freeing up the memory occupied by the array.
**4. Create a closure instance:** A variable `closure` is assigned the function returned by `createClosure`.
**5. Invoke the closure:** The `closure` is `invoked`, which logs the length of `largeArray (1000000)` and then sets `largeArray` to `null`. This step ensures that the memory used by `largeArray` is released, preventing a potential `memory leak`.
**Preventing Memory Leaks**
**Nullify References:** After using large variables or data structures within a closure, set them to null to release the memory.
**Use Weak References:** When possible, use weak references (like WeakMap or WeakSet) for large objects that should not prevent garbage collection.
**Avoid Long-Lived Closures:** Be cautious with closures that are kept around for a long time, such as those assigned to global variables or event listeners. Ensure they don't retain unnecessary references to large objects.
**Manual Cleanup:** Implement manual cleanup functions to explicitly nullify or release references when they are no longer needed.
## **Memoization:**
Memoization is a technique used to cache the results of expensive function calls and return the cached result when the same inputs occur again. Closures are often used to implement memoization efficiently.
```js
// Define memoize Function
function memoize(fn) {
const cache = {}; // Private cache object
return function(...args) {
const key = JSON.stringify(args); // Create a key from arguments
if (cache[key]) {
return cache[key]; // Return cached result
}
const result = fn(...args);
cache[key] = result; // Store result in cache
return result;
};
}
// Example usage:
const fibonacci = memoize(function(n) {
if (n <= 1) return n;
return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
});
console.log(fibonacci(10)); // 55
```
In this example:
**1. Define memoize Function:** The `memoize` function takes a function `fn` as input and returns a memoized version of that function.
**2. Cache Storage:** The `cache` object is a private variable inside the closure. It stores previously computed results, keyed by the arguments passed to the original function.
**3. Memoized Function Invocation:** When the memoized function is invoked with certain arguments, it checks if the result for those arguments exists in the cache. If it does, it returns the cached result; otherwise, it computes the result, stores it in the cache, and returns it.
## **Event Handling:**
Closures are commonly used in event handling to encapsulate data and behavior associated with an event listener.
```js
function createEventListener(element, eventType) {
return function(callback) {
element.addEventListener(eventType, callback);
};
}
// Example usage:
const button = document.getElementById('myButton');
const onClick = createEventListener(button, 'click');
onClick(function() {
console.log('Button clicked!');
});
```
In this example:
**1. Define `createEventListener` Function:** The `createEventListener` function takes an HTML element `element` and an event type `eventType` as input and returns a function that can be used to attach event listeners to that element.
**2. Encapsulation of Event Handling Logic:** The returned function forms a closure over the `element` and `eventType`, allowing it to access these variables when adding an event listener.
**3. Usage Example:** We create an event listener for a button element with the ID `myButton`. We then use the `onClick` function to attach a callback function to the `click` event of the button.
## **Private Members in Constructors:**
Closures can be used to create private members within constructor functions, ensuring data encapsulation and preventing direct access to sensitive information.
```js
function Person(name, age) {
const privateData = { secret: 'I have a secret!' }; // Private data
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.getSecret = function() {
return privateData.secret;
};
}
// Example usage:
const john = new Person('John', 30);
console.log(john.name); // 'John'
console.log(john.getSecret()); // 'I have a secret!'
console.log(john.privateData); // undefined (private)
```
In this example:
**1. Define Person Constructor Function:** The `Person` constructor function takes `name` and `age` as arguments and initializes public properties `name` and `age`.
**2. Private Data Encapsulation:** The `privateData` variable is a private member within the constructor function. It is inaccessible from outside the constructor, ensuring data privacy.
**3. Accessing Private Data:** The `getSecret` method is a public method that forms a closure over the `privateData` variable, allowing access to the private data from within the object.
## **Managing Dependencies:**
Closures can be used to manage dependencies by encapsulating them within a function's scope, ensuring that they are resolved and available when needed.
```js
function createModule(dependency) {
// Private dependency
const privateDependency = dependency;
// Public methods
return {
useDependency: function() {
console.log(privateDependency);
}
};
}
// Example usage:
const module = createModule('Dependency');
module.useDependency(); // Output: 'Dependency'
```
In this example:
**1. Define `createModule` Function:** The `createModule` function takes a `dependency` parameter and returns an object with methods.
**2. Encapsulation of Dependency:** The `privateDependency` variable is a private member within the closure of the returned object, ensuring that it is accessible only to the methods of the module.
**3. Usage Example:** We create a module using `createModule`, passing a dependency as an argument. The module exposes a method `useDependency` that logs the private dependency when called.
## **Currying**
Currying is a technique where a function with multiple arguments is transformed into a sequence of functions, each taking a single argument. Closures are often used to implement currying in JavaScript.
```js
function curry(fn) {
return function curried(...args) {
if (args.length >= fn.length) {
return fn(...args);
} else {
return function(...moreArgs) {
return curried(...args, ...moreArgs);
};
}
};
}
// Example usage:
function add(a, b, c) {
return a + b + c;
}
const curriedAdd = curry(add);
console.log(curriedAdd(1)(2)(3)); // Output: 6
```
In this example:
**1. Define curry Function:** The `curry` function takes a function `fn` as input and returns a curried version of that function.
**2. Currying Implementation:** The returned function `curried` checks if the number of arguments provided is equal to or greater than the number of arguments expected by `fn`. If it is, it invokes `fn` with the provided arguments; otherwise, it returns a new function that collects additional arguments until all arguments are satisfied.
**3. Usage Example:** We curry the `add` function using `curry`, creating a new function `curriedAdd`. We then invoke `curriedAdd` with individual arguments, which are accumulated and summed up when all arguments are provided.
## **Promises and Asynchronous Operations:**
Closures are frequently used in asynchronous programming with promises to encapsulate and manage asynchronous state and data.
```js
function fetchData(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
resolve(data);
})
.catch(error => {
reject(error);
});
});
}
// Example usage:
const url = 'https://api.example.com/data';
fetchData(url)
.then(data => {
console.log('Data fetched:', data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
});
```
In this example:
**1. Define fetchData Function:** The `fetchData` function takes a `url` parameter and returns a promise that resolves with the fetched data or rejects with an error.
**2. Encapsulation of Asynchronous Operation:** The promise constructor function forms a closure over the `resolve` and `reject` functions, ensuring that they are available within the asynchronous operation to resolve or reject the promise accordingly.
**3. Usage Example:** We use the `fetchData` function to fetch data from a URL asynchronously. We then handle the resolved data or catch any errors using promise chaining with `.then` and `.catch`.
## **Iterators and Generators**
Closures are commonly used in implementing iterators and generators, allowing for the creation of iterable objects with custom iteration logic.
```js
function createIterator(arr) {
let index = 0; // Private variable
return {
next: function() {
return index < arr.length ?
{ value: arr[index++], done: false } :
{ done: true };
}
};
}
// Example usage:
const iterator = createIterator(['a', 'b', 'c']);
console.log(iterator.next()); // Output: { value: 'a', done: false }
console.log(iterator.next()); // Output: { value: 'b', done: false }
console.log(iterator.next()); // Output: { value: 'c', done: false }
console.log(iterator.next()); // Output: { done: true }
```
In this example:
**1. Define createIterator Function:** The `createIterator` function takes an array `arr` as input and returns an iterator object with a `next` method.
**2. Encapsulation of State:** The `index` variable is a private member within the closure of the returned iterator object, maintaining the current position of iteration.
**3. Iterator Implementation:** The next method returns the next value in the array along with a boolean flag indicating whether the iteration is complete.
**4. Usage Example:** We create an iterator for an array and use the next method to iterate through its elements, accessing each value and checking for the end of the iteration.
## **Functional Programming**
Closures play a central role in functional programming paradigms, enabling the creation of higher-order functions, function composition, and currying.
```js
function compose(...fns) {
return function(result) {
return fns.reduceRight((acc, fn) => fn(acc), result);
};
}
// Example usage:
const add1 = x => x + 1;
const multiply2 = x => x * 2;
const add1ThenMultiply2 = compose(multiply2, add1);
console.log(add1ThenMultiply2(5)); // Output: 12 (5 + 1 = 6, 6 * 2 = 12)
```
In this example:
**1. Define compose Function:** The `compose` function takes multiple functions `fns` as input and returns a new function that composes these functions from right to left.
**2. Higher-Order Function:** The returned function forms a closure over the `fns` array, allowing it to access the array of functions to be composed.
**3. Function Composition:** The returned function applies each function in `fns` to the result of the previous function, effectively composing them into a single function.
**4. Usage Example:** We create a composed function `add1ThenMultiply2`, which first adds 1 to its argument and then multiplies the result by `2`. We then invoke `add1ThenMultiply2` with an initial value to see the result.
## **Timer Functions**
Closures are commonly used in creating timer functions such as debouncing and throttling to control the frequency of function execution.
```js
function debounce(fn, delay) {
let timeoutID; // Private variable
return function(...args) {
clearTimeout(timeoutID); // Clear previous timeout
timeoutID = setTimeout(() => {
fn(...args);
}, delay);
};
}
// Example usage:
const handleResize = debounce(() => {
console.log('Window resized');
}, 300);
window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
```
In this example:
**1. Define debounce Function:** The `debounce` function takes a function `fn` and a delay `delay` as input and returns a `debounced` version of that function.
**2. Encapsulation of State:** The `timeoutID` variable is a private member within the `closure` of the returned function, maintaining the state of the timeout.
**3. Debouncing Implementation:** The returned function clears any existing timeout and sets a new timeout to execute the provided function after the specified delay, ensuring that the function is only called once after a series of rapid invocations.
**4. Usage Example:** We create a `debounced` event handler `handleResize` for the `resize` event of the window, ensuring that the provided function is invoked only after the user has stopped resizing the window for the specified delay duration.
## **Importance of Closures in JavaScript**
**1. Encapsulation:** Closures enable the encapsulation of variables within a function's scope, leading to better code organization and data privacy.
**2. Data Persistence:** Closures allow inner functions to retain access to the variables of their outer functions even after the outer functions have finished executing, enabling the persistence of data.
**3. Modularity:** Closures facilitate the creation of modular and reusable code by allowing functions to have access to private data and behavior.
**4. Functional Programming:** Closures play a crucial role in functional programming paradigms, enabling higher-order functions, function composition, currying, and other functional programming techniques.
**5. Asynchronous Operations:** Closures are commonly used in asynchronous programming to manage state and data in asynchronous callbacks and promises.
**6. Event Handling:** Closures are essential for event handling in JavaScript, enabling the attachment of event listeners with access to local variables and parameters.
**7. Memory Management:** Closures help in managing memory efficiently by automatically handling the lifetime of variables and avoiding memory leaks.
## **Pros of Closures**
**1. Data Encapsulation:** Closures allow for the creation of private variables and methods, enhancing data security and preventing unintended access or modification.
**2. Flexibility:** Closures provide flexibility in code design by enabling the creation of specialized functions and behaviors tailored to specific requirements.
**3. Code Reusability:** Closures promote code reusability by encapsulating common patterns and behaviors into reusable functions.
**4. Reduced Global Scope Pollution:** Closures help in reducing global scope pollution by limiting the visibility of variables and functions to their intended scope.
**5. Memory Efficiency:** Closures aid in memory management by automatically deallocating memory for variables when they are no longer in use.
## **Cons of Closures**
**1. Memory Consumption:** Closures can potentially increase memory consumption, especially when retaining references to large objects or long-lived variables.
**2. Performance Overhead:** Closures may introduce performance overhead, particularly in scenarios where nested functions are heavily used or when closures are created within frequently executed code blocks.
**3. Memory Leaks:** Improper use of closures can lead to memory leaks if references to outer scope variables are inadvertently retained, preventing garbage collection.
**4. Debugging Complexity:** Closures may introduce complexity in debugging, especially in scenarios where closures are nested or when closures capture mutable variables.
**5. Scope Chain Pollution:** Closures may inadvertently pollute the scope chain by retaining references to variables beyond their intended lifetime, potentially causing unexpected behavior or memory leaks.
## **Other Important Points**
**1. Lexical Scope:** Closures in JavaScript follow lexical scoping rules, where the scope of a variable is determined by its location within the source code.
**2. Garbage Collection:** Closures can influence garbage collection behavior in JavaScript, as variables referenced within closures may prevent garbage collection until the closure itself is no longer reachable.
**3. Binding:** Closures retain a reference to the variables of their outer scope at the time of their creation, rather than at the time of their execution.
**4. Context:** Closures capture not only the variables of their outer scope but also the context in which they were created, including the value of `this` at the time of creation.
**5. Dynamic Nature:** Closures in JavaScript are dynamic and flexible, allowing for runtime modifications to their behavior and captured variables.
## **Conclusion**
In conclusion, closures are a fundamental concept in JavaScript with significant importance and practical applications in modern web development. They enable developers to write cleaner, more modular, and efficient code by encapsulating variables and behavior within the scope of functions.
Throughout this discussion, we've explored the importance of closures, highlighting their role in data encapsulation, modularity, functional programming, asynchronous operations, event handling, and memory management. Closures empower developers to create reusable and flexible code by providing mechanisms for data privacy, code organization, and code reusability.
While closures offer numerous advantages such as data encapsulation, flexibility, and reduced global scope pollution, they also come with potential drawbacks such as memory consumption, performance overhead, and debugging complexity. It's crucial for developers to understand the pros and cons of closures and use them judiciously to leverage their benefits while mitigating their drawbacks.
In essence, closures are a powerful feature of JavaScript that empower developers to write expressive and efficient code, enabling them to build robust and scalable web applications. By mastering closures and understanding their nuances, developers can unlock new possibilities in JavaScript programming and elevate the quality and maintainability of their codebases. | jahid6597 |

Well kiddo chill out! I'll teach you something cool!
## Intro
These are the concept of Control theory which are used in robot or making autonomous cars/anything.
I learned this while making robots for my team to compete in the world's biggest Robotics competition called Vex Robotics.
Let's take an example, let's say your have a Remote control car. Well how will that car move? By giving inputs, in this case with the help of remote. You pushed both joystick forward, the car will gain speed and move straight.
Assume you don't have that cheap cars but a cool car that can move by itself. Here, there is an reference that says the bot what to do.
But we are in a real world and not in your dreams so things are not perfect here! We get some disturbances while we drive or while it drives itself.
## FeedForward Control
This is called FeedForward Control. The google definition is: A feed forward (sometimes written feedforward) is an element or pathway within a control system that passes a controlling signal from a source in its external environment to a load elsewhere in its external environment.
I know you didn't get that definition here you go:
FeedForward control passes a defined input to the system(your remote control car) to do something.
FeedForward Control is good if it's in your dream world but not in human world. Well, that's not true. It is good for task that doesn't have many disturbance. But your car have disturbances like your stupid brother coming in it's way or the surface it is driving on or maybe the battery which affects the motors. What do we do in that case? We have FeedBack Control which takes the error/noise and sends it back to determine further movements.
Ok so there is an disturbance. Now what? The disturbance is understood and sent back to the controller to make determine the further movement. We can get deep in this but for now just say FeedBack control will make it loop to solve the error itself.
That's all for now! Comment any question you have or anything you feel I said something wrong or want to share something related! Happy to learn more! | maiommhoon |

## Inspiration 🌊🏄♀️🏄♂️
<!-- What are you highlighting today? -->
I was inspired by the idea of creating a serene beach scene using just HTML and CSS. I wanted to challenge myself to create a visually appealing design without manipulating the HTML structure, relying solely on CSS for styling. I drew inspiration from the brutalist design movement, known for its raw, unrefined aesthetic and bold use of typography and color.
## Demo 🩴🌴
<!-- Show us your CSS Art! You can directly embed an editor into this post (see the FAQ section of the challenge page) or you can share an image of your project and share a public link to the code. -->
Here is the Demo of the site.
{% codepen https://codepen.io/harshitadharamansharma/pen/OJYjamr %}
## Journey 🌊🏄♀️🏄♂️⛱️🏖️🩴🌴
<!-- Tell us about your process, what you learned, anything you are particularly proud of, what you hope to do next, etc. -->
During this project, I learned how to use CSS to create complex and realistic visual effects, such as the sky, sea, sand, and palm tree. I also honed my skills in CSS positioning and animation to bring the scene to life. One of the challenges I faced was achieving the right balance of elements to create a cohesive and realistic beach environment.
I'm particularly proud of how I was able to use CSS to create the illusion of depth and movement in the scene, such as the gentle sway of the palm tree leaves and the foamy waves lapping at the shore.
Next, I hope to further refine my CSS skills and explore more advanced techniques to create even more intricate and lifelike scenes using only HTML and CSS.
In this project, I learned how to create complex layouts and animations using just HTML and CSS. I experimented with different techniques to achieve the brutalist look, such as asymmetrical layouts, vibrant colors, and unconventional typography.
I'm particularly proud of the final result, as it showcases my ability to think creatively and push the boundaries of traditional web design. Moving forward, I hope to further refine my skills in CSS and explore more advanced animation techniques with GSAP.
Do tell me how you liked the Beach Animation. Open for feedbacks and constructive criticism.

1,882,621 | Use OpenAI in your JavaScript project the easy way with Ragged | Introduction Welcome to this simple tutorial on how to use OpenAI’s API in JavaScript. In... | 0 | 2024-06-10T05:28:27 | https://dev.to/monarchwadia/use-openai-in-your-javascript-project-the-easy-way-with-ragged-5g79 | ## Introduction
Welcome to this simple tutorial on how to use OpenAI’s API in JavaScript. In this tutorial, we will be taking the help of Ragged, which is a library that makes working with OpenAI very easy and uncomplicated.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up Ragged and create a basic application. By the end of this article, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to interact with OpenAI’s models using JavaScript.
## What is Ragged?
Ragged is a universal LLM client for JavaScript and TypeScript. It offers an easy-to-understand API to access various language models, including those from OpenAI. With Ragged, you can seamlessly integrate LLM capabilities into your frontend as well as backend projects.
## Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:
1. Node.js is installed on your machine
2. You have an OpenAI API key
## Setting Up Ragged
First, let’s create a new JavaScript project. Open your terminal and run the following commands:
```sh
mkdir openai-ragged-tutorial
cd openai-ragged-tutorial
npm init -y
npm pkg set type="module"
```
Next, install Ragged:
```sh
npm install ragged
```
## Writing the Hello World Application
Now, let’s write our “Hello World” application using Ragged. Create a new file named `index.js` and add the following code:
```javascript
import { Chat } from "ragged/chat";
// Create a new Chat instance with the OpenAI provider
const c = Chat.with('openai', { apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// Async function to handle the chat interaction
async function main() {
// Chat with the model
await c.chat('What is the meaning of life?');
console.log(c.history.at(-1)?.text); // Output: "The meaning of life is to be happy."
await c.chat('Repeat what you just said, but in hindi.');
console.log(c.history.at(-1)?.text); // Output: "जीवन का अर्थ खुश रहना है।"
}
// Run the main function
main();
```
In this code:
- We import the `Chat` class from Ragged.
- We create a new instance of `Chat` with the OpenAI provider.
- We define an asynchronous `main` function to handle the chat interaction.
- We chat with the OpenAI model and translate its response to Hindi.
Next, you need to run this application using your OpenAI API key as an environment variable.
```sh
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key node index.js
```
Make sure you replaced `your_api_key` with the actual key from OpenAI.
You should see a response from the OpenAI model printed in your terminal.
### 401 Problems?
If you got a “non-200 response” or an indicator that the “Status was 401”, this means you may have provided the incorrect API key. Check that the `OPENAI_API_KEY` variable was set correctly and try again.
## Exploring More Features
Ragged offers more than just basic chat capabilities. You can access and manipulate the message history, use tools, and create autonomous agents. To learn more, you can read Ragged’s documentation.
## Conclusion
In this tutorial, we covered the basics of setting up Ragged and creating a simple “Hello World” application using OpenAI’s API. Ragged makes it easy to integrate LLM capabilities into your JavaScript projects with minimal setup and effort.
Feel free to explore the Ragged documentation for more advanced features and use cases. Happy coding!

## 1. the analysis of the problem:
First we can easily know if the number smaller than 0,it can not be the palindrome number.
We can not compare with the first digit with the last digit,so we need come up with a method to transfer the form so that we can compare easily,then if we transfer the number to an array or vector sucessfully,we can compare the beginning digits with the ending digits easily,
**but before this, we need divide it into two situations:**
the number of the digit of the number is the odd or even.
we assume size=the number of the digit(same as the length of vector),
and then
**if the size is odd:**
we compare the vec[0]with vec[size-1],vec[1]with vec[size-2]......vec[(size-1)/2]with vec[(size+3)/2],leave size[n+1] alone.
if all comparisions equate so the number is palindrome number.
so we have codes as:
```
if(size%2!=0){
int mid=(size+1)/2;
for (int i=0;i<mid;i++){
if (vec[i]!=vec[size-1-i]){
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
```
**if the size is even:**
we campare the vec[0]with vec[size-1],vec[1]with vec[size-2]......vec[size/2]withvec[(size/2)+1],if all comparisions equate so the number is palindrome number.
```
int mid=size/2;
for (int i=0;i<=mid;i++){
if(vec[i]!=vec[size-1-i]){
return false;
}
}
return true;
```
**so totally we have the complete codes as:**
```
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(int x) {
if (x<0){
return false;
}//the situation of minus
string str=to_string(x);
vector<int>vec;
for(char digit :str){
vec.push_back(digit-'0');
}
int size=vec.size();
if(size==1){
return true ;
}//the situation of one-digit
if(size%2!=0){
int mid=(size+1)/2;
for (int i=0;i<mid;i++){
if (vec[i]!=vec[size-1-i]){
return false;
}
}
return true;
}//the situation of odd
int mid=size/2;
for (int i=0;i<=mid;i++){
if(vec[i]!=vec[size-1-i]){
return false;
}
}
return true;
//the situation of even
}
};
//fist discuss the situation od minus,if the number smaller tham 0,then it can not be a palindrome
//we use the function 'string str= to_string(x)' to change the form of x from int to string
//then define a vector 'vecctor<int>vec;
//then we need get each char digit from str
//by using 'result.push_back(digit-'0')' we can get a vector full of integers.
//if there is only one element in the vector ,then it should fit the requirement and is a palindrome.
