1,645,445 | Easy Steps to Deploy Your Web App with Firebase Hosting: A Beginner's Guide | When it comes to learning programming, Firebase offers a range of services, including databases and... | 0 | 2023-10-25T05:35:20 | https://dev.to/vivecodes/easy-steps-to-deploy-your-web-app-with-firebase-hosting-a-beginners-guide-567n | firebase, frontend | When it comes to learning programming, Firebase offers a range of services, including databases and hosting, that can be incredibly beneficial. In this article, we will focus on Firebase Hosting, a convenient solution for hosting your first web application and sharing it with others, whether they are friends or fellow programming enthusiasts.
### Getting Started with Firebase Hosting
To begin, you need to create a project on Firebase. Head over to [Firebase website](https://firebase.google.com/) and register for an account. Once registered, access the console by clicking either "Go to console" in the upper right corner or "Get started."

In the console, select "Add project" and provide a suitable name.

Under the Google Analytics option, choose not to enable it, as it's not essential for educational or personal projects. You can always integrate it later if necessary. Once the project is created, click "Continue."
On the project screen, navigate to the left menu and select "All products." From the available options, choose "Hosting" and then click "Get started."


### Setting Up Firebase CLI and Project Connection
Next, install the Firebase Command Line Interface (CLI) on your computer, an essential tool for executing commands via the terminal. The necessary steps are detailed on the project page, but here's a quick rundown with screenshots.
Open your terminal and run the command `npm install -g firebase-tools`. If you are using a MacBook and encounter a permission denied error, try using `sudo npm install -g firebase-tools`, and enter your laptop's password. 'Sudo' grants users the ability to execute commands that require additional security privileges, as in this case, installing something globally on the laptop rather than locally in the project folder.

Connect your local project to the Firebase project by ensuring the terminal is in the directory of the project you want to deploy.

Before proceeding, ensure you update your `npm` version to the latest one, as Firebase has specific requirements. This is crucial to prevent any errors during the subsequent steps.
Invoke the command `firebase login` and log in using the same credentials used during your Firebase registration.

Then, run `firebase init` and respond to the prompts as they appear.



During this step, your projects from Firebase will be pulled. If you've recently signed up, you'll likely see only one project available for selection.

Specify the folder name where you will later build and deploy your project. If you already have a build folder, provide its name, such as "public," "dist," or any other relevant name. For instance, in my case, utilizing React and Vite, the build is stored in the "dist" folder, which I specify.

On this step, it's crucial to configure your application settings. If you're using a router in your application, make sure to select "y" (yes) to enable it; otherwise, your routing might not function correctly. Additionally, for the question about GitHub build and deployment, choose "N" (no) as it's not relevant to this tutorial. If prompted about overwriting files, select "N" to avoid Firebase overwriting your build files with its default ones.

### Building and Deploying Your Web Application
The next step involves building your application if you haven't done so already. Run the appropriate command based on the technologies used in your project. In my case, with React and Vite, the command is `npm run build`.
After building the project, it's time to deploy it. Issue the command `firebase deploy`.

Upon successful deployment, you will receive a notification and a link to view your website. Alternatively, you can revisit the Firebase website, access your project, and find the link in the "Hosting" tab, along with additional information about your site.




Initially, you might see "0 files" and encounter errors when accessing the link. Don't worry; this is normal. Give it a few minutes, and everything should be up and running smoothly.
### Conclusion and Cost Considerations
In conclusion, Firebase Hosting is an excellent choice for hosting simple websites or pet projects, especially for educational purposes, as it offers a free tier with ample limits. However, it's important to be aware of their usage thresholds, as exceeding these limits may incur charges. For more details, check the "Pricing" tab on their website. For educational projects, the free tier should more than suffice.

This mini project is perfect for beginners and offers a delightful way to enhance your web development skills.
## Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
A code editor of your choice.
**Steps to Build Your Sticky Note App:**
**Step 1: Set Up Your Project:**
Create a new folder for your project, project name as per your wish I have created a project name called Note App. and inside it, create three files: **`index.html`**, **`style.css`**, and **`script.js`** with an image folder and supported images. These files will serve as the foundation for your Note App. if you want to clone my [Project-Structure-Example](https://github.com/sharathchandar-k/Project-Structure-Example) and start working with me.
**Step 2: Build the HTML Structure:**
In the **`index.html`** file, create the HTML structure for your note app. and add the HTML Boilerplate by linking these files (**`style.css`**, **`script.js`**) into an HTML file.
The `<link>` tag defines the relationship between the current document and an external resource. (style.css)
The `<script>` tag is used to embed a client-side script (JavaScript). or it points to an external script file through the src attribute. (script.js)
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Note App - By Sharathchandar.K</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Container here -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js" ></script>
</body>
</html>
```
First, will add the `div` with class and id as a `container` inside the body element. The div tag defines a division or a section in an HTML document.
```
<div class="container" id="container">
<!-- Inside the container will add an input field for adding tasks, a list to display the tasks, and buttons for adding and removing tasks.-->
</div>
```
**Step 3: Style Your App with CSS:**
In the **`style.css`** file, and add CSS rules to make your app visually appealing.
We are setting all elements to have zero margins, and zero padding, thus making them look the same in all browsers. with the help of * and my favorite font family **`Poppins`**. and then will set the background color to the entire body and will set all the notes in the view of row for that will add the styles to the .container with the help of display with supported properties.
```
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;500;600&display=swap");
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
background: #78c1f3;
padding: 25px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-direction: row;
}
```
this is what our Note App looks like after adding the above code.

**Step 4: Implement the Image Button to add Notes:**
Now will add the image tag inside the container, to display the add event button to the user. and will set the onclick event called CreateNewNote() and class attribute with the value of addNote.
```
<img src="images/plus.png" onclick="CreateNewNote('')" class="addNote" />
```

this is how the image looks like, and then now will add the styles to the image.
```
.addNote {
height: 150px;
background: #ffffff;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 10px;
padding: 50px;
}
```

**Step 5: Implement the JavaScript Functionality:**
In the **`script.js`** file, and write JavaScript code to make your app interactive. Create Declarations and functions for adding functionality for notes. You can use the Document Object Model (DOM) to manipulate elements in your HTML.
First will declare all the declarations with the help of a document object, the document object represents the owner of all other objects on your web page.
```
const Container = document.getElementById("container");
let selectedText = "";
let rangeAT = "";
```
Next will declare the `localstorage` object into the let noteData with the help of `key:noteData` with this declaration, will read the JSON.parse data from localstorage with the help of getItem() else will initialize the empty array [] into this.
```
let noteData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("noteData")) || [];
```
Next will add the functions for each functionality like **CREATE**, **READ**, **SAVE** and **DELETE**. The function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task. A JavaScript function is executed when "something" invokes it (calls it).
_This below function will help to **create** a new note area to add note text and change the styling of the text characters into the list with some additional features:_
1. in this CreateNewNote() function we will create a dynamic note area with HTML from the script.
2. this function will create a note area with styling options to enable text as **capitalize**, **bold**, **italic**, **underline** & **lineThrough**.
3. in the note area, we have the option to delete the note from the view as well as localstorage too.
4. While clicking this CreateNewNote() event from the + img event our tool will save the current session notes into the localstorage.
```
function CreateNewNote(e) {
let div = document.createElement("div");
div.classList.add("note-row");
let newHTML =
`<div contenteditable="true" class="note-editor" id="note-editor" onmouseup="getSelectedText()">` +
e +
`</div>
<div class="note-controls">
<div onclick="getSelected('capitalize')" class="capitalize">Aa</div>
<div onclick="getSelected('bold')" class="bold">B</div>
<div onclick="getSelected('italic')" class="italic">I</div>
<div onclick="getSelected('underline')" class="underline">U</div>
<div onclick="getSelected('lineThrough')" class="lineThrough">ab</div>
<hr />
<img src="images/delete.png" onclick="DeleteNote(this)" />
</div>`;
div.innerHTML = newHTML;
Container.appendChild(div);
const noteEditor = document.querySelectorAll(".note-editor");
noteEditor.forEach((el) =>
el.addEventListener("keypress", (e) => {
if (e.key === "Enter") {
document.execCommand("insertHTML", false, "<br/>");
return false;
}
})
);
SaveNoteData();
}
```
and then will add the styling for the Note area added through this above function.
```
.note-row {
background: #ffffff;
margin: 10px;
}
.note-editor {
height: 250px;
width: 250px;
resize: none;
border: none;
outline: none;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
overflow: auto;
}
.note-editor::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
.note-controls {
height: 50px;
width: 250px;
padding: 10px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
border-top: 1px solid;
}
.note-controls div {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
cursor: pointer;
text-align: center;
background: #eeeeee;
border-radius: 5px;
line-height: 30px;
}
.note-controls img {
height: 25px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.bold {
font-weight: bold;
}
.capitalize {
text-transform: capitalize;
}
.italic {
font-style: italic;
}
.underline {
text-decoration: underline;
}
.lineThrough {
text-decoration: line-through;
}
```
once will add the above styles into the style.css and hit the + event calls in the browser window, our note app will create a new note area with the supported styling event that looks like the mini-text editor to style the text into the note area and based on the users clicks on + event calls tool will automatically creates new note area every time.

_this below function will help us to **SAVE** the note details with user-added styling into the localstorage. when the user clicks + event or will add the addEventListener for key-down to save the notes with the help of Ctrl + s from the browser window._
once the user clicks Ctrl+s on the browser, our note tool will save all the details with what the styles added for the text into the localstorage.
```
document.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.key === 's') {
e.preventDefault();
SaveNoteData();
}
});
function SaveNoteData() {
noteData = [];
localStorage.setItem("noteData", []);
const noteEditor = document.querySelectorAll(".note-editor");
noteEditor.forEach((el) => {
if (el.innerHTML !== "") {
let HTML = { value: el.innerHTML };
noteData.push(HTML);
}
});
localStorage.setItem("noteData", JSON.stringify(noteData));
}
```
_This below function helps us to **READ** notes data from localstorage and display it in the view in the same as the user saves with and without styling by onload the app._
```
readData();
function readData() {
noteData.forEach((element) => {
CreateNewNote(element.value + "<br />");
});
}
```

_The below two function was initiated on the create note function based on the user click and change this function will invoke and do the below process._
1. this getSelectedText() function will help us to get the selected text from the window to set the styling from the range on the window selection.
2. this getSelected() function will help to add the span element with selected styles from the user clicks on the style area like **capitalize**, **bold**, **italic**, **underline** & **lineThrough**. based on this selection tool will add that style into that element and insert it back into the div as innerHTML and the rest of the things styles will taken care of.
```
function getSelectedText() {
selectedText = window.getSelection().toString();
rangeAT = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
}
function getSelected(style) {
if (selectedText) {
let div = document.createElement("span");
div.classList.add(style);
div.innerHTML = selectedText;
rangeAT.deleteContents();
rangeAT.insertNode(div);
}
}
```
_This below function helps to **DELETE** a note area data from the view as well as localstorage._
1. If the user clicks the 🗑️ Delete icon in the style area tool will show a confirm alert message "**Are you sure! Do you want to Delete?**".
2. If the user says OK on the confirm window tool will automatically delete the note area and data from the view as well as localstorage.
3. If the user says cancel nothing will change in the view. this confirmation message shows user awareness for clicking the correct event.
```
function DeleteNote(e) {
let conform = confirm("Are you sure! Do you want to Delete?");
if (conform) {
e.parentElement.parentElement.remove();
SaveNoteData();
}
}
```

**Step 5: Test and Customize:**
Open your **`index.html`** file in a web browser to test your Mini Text Editor Note app. Add Text and Change the styling for that, remove them or change them with different styling and Delete the notes to ensure everything works as expected. You can further customize and enhance your app by adding features like adding more styling event, added dates, or data persistence using local storage.

1,657,337 | Supercharge Your Workflow: Productivity Hacks for Web Developers in 2023 | In the hustle of coding and deadlines, the word 'productivity' sometimes feels like a mythical beast... | 0 | 2023-11-05T09:19:52 | https://dev.to/delia_code/supercharge-your-workflow-productivity-hacks-for-web-developers-in-2023-4ng2 | productivity, webdev, programming |
In the hustle of coding and deadlines, the word 'productivity' sometimes feels like a mythical beast for us web developers. But what if I told you that with a few tweaks and some shiny new habits, you could not only catch sight of this beast but also ride it gloriously towards your most efficient year yet?
Hey friends, it's 2023, and unless you’ve discovered a time machine hidden in JavaScript's ECMAScript updates, we’re all working with the same 24 hours. Let’s talk about how to make every second count.
## 🚀 The Early Bird Catches the Worm: Start Your Day Right
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/82CQozWEtaJccC1OPT/giphy.gif">
We've all heard this, but what does it mean for a web developer? It means starting your day with a clear plan. Every morning, I spend the first 10 minutes reviewing my Trello board (more on that later) to see what’s ahead. It’s like a roadmap that gets my brain geared up to hit the ground running.
## ✅ Embrace the To-Do List: But Make It Smart
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/4xWGyVKoXqg2eVCiq9/giphy.gif">
Your to-do list isn't just a list; it's your day on paper. I recommend tools like Todoist or Notion to not only list your tasks but also categorize and prioritize them. Tag them based on the project, urgency, or even the estimated time to complete. Watch how a well-organized list can make decision fatigue take the back seat.
### Additional Tools to Level-Up Your Lists:
- **Asana**: Great for team collaboration and project tracking.
- **ClickUp**: One app to replace them all; it combines tasks, docs, goals, and chat.
## 💬 Communication is Key: Chat Wisely
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/3oriO7wa3S0vXoNJks/giphy.gif">
Slack, Discord, you name it—chat apps are both a blessing and a curse. I set specific times to check messages so I don't get derailed by every notification. It’s like batching your emails but for chat. You stay in the loop without getting looped into the endless scroll.
### More Tools for Streamlined Communication:
- **Microsoft Teams**: For those who are integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem.
- **Slack**: For those who want a more organized way to talk with the development team.
## 🔕 The Magic of Muting: Notification Management
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/YNLTsP0Wttiq4xCcYo/giphy.gif">
Notifications are the kryptonite of focus. On my work devices, I mute everything non-essential. Yes, that includes the seductive ping of social media. I use tools like Freedom or Cold Turkey to keep the distractions at bay. Remember, when you’re coding, you’re coding.
### Try These Tools for Focused Work Sessions:
- **Serene**: A tool to help you stay focused by blocking distractions.
- **Focus@Will**: Music scientifically optimized to boost concentration and focus.
## 🎧 Soundtrack to Success: Tune Into Productivity
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/pU7ZQcEQ8Loxq/giphy.gif">
Who said coding has to be silent? I have a Spotify playlist with tunes that keep my brainwaves dancing at the right frequency. Music, especially instrumental or ambient sounds, can help you get into a state of 'flow'. Just steer clear of the Top 40 unless you want to be coding in the rhythm of the latest hits.
### Music and Ambient Tools for Focus:
- **Brain.fm**: Music engineered to increase focus.
- **Noisli**: Customizable background noises to improve concentration.
## 🛠 The Toolbox: Streamline with Extensions and Shortcuts
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/XIm5w1pgUmyc0/giphy.gif">
This might be my favorite part. I’ve optimized my browser and code editor with extensions that act like my personal assistants. Tools like Wappalyzer to identify web technologies, or daily.dev for the latest web dev news, keep me informed without effort. And yes, learn your keyboard shortcuts—it’s like leveling up in a game.
### Enhance Your Setup With:
- **Octotree**: Browser extension that provides a tree directory for GitHub repos.
- **JSON Viewer**: For those moments when you need to quickly read JSON from your browser.
## 🧠 Rest is Not for the Wicked: It’s for the Wise
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/YOGiZKvTksi4dSatxR/giphy.gif">
Here’s the deal, I used to be that guy, chugging coffee at 2 AM trying to squash bugs. Now, I prioritize rest. Seriously, regular breaks with apps like Be Focused, and a hard stop to my workday have done wonders. Quality sleep makes the code in my dreams a lot less buggy.
### Apps to Encourage Rest and Recovery:
- **Calm**: Meditation and sleep stories to reduce stress and improve sleep.
- **Time Out**: Reminder to take regular breaks during your workday.
## 🏃♂️ The Agile Approach: Iterate Your Life
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/GxMOE1Ns0fdy4bfhf6/giphy.gif">
Agile isn't just for your projects; apply it to how you work. Reflect each week—what worked, what didn't? Be ruthless in refining your approach. Continuous improvement isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a lifestyle.
## 🤹♂️ Balance is the New Black: Work and Life
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/XfnVveiDFDeGPfjR8G/giphy.gif">
I can’t stress this enough—burnout isn’t a trophy. Keep your hobbies alive, hit the gym, cook a meal. Balance isn't about dividing your time equally; it’s about giving the necessary space to each aspect of your life so you can bring your best self to your code.
## 📈 Track Progress: Gamify Your Growth
<img width="100%" style="width:100%" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/OoxzFYCmEiELda33Xg/giphy.gif">
Lastly, nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing how far you’ve come. Use tools like RescueTime to track your productivity and make it a game to beat your high score each week.
### Additional Resources for Monitoring Your Growth:
- **Habitica**: Turns your life into a game with in-game rewards and punishments to motivate.
- **Forest**: Helps you stay focused by planting virtual trees which grow while you work.
Folks, being a web developer in 2023 is no small feat, but with these productivity hacks, you’re not just surviving; you’re thriving. Implement these, and watch as you supercharge your workflow, one line of code at a time.
Now, I’d love to hear from you—what are your top productivity hacks? Drop them in the comments below, and let’s make this year our most productive yet!

1,657,354 | Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code | I spent a few days of my spare time building a VS Code extension that would bring better syntax... | 0 | 2024-03-01T04:28:55 | https://dev.to/borama/building-a-syntax-highlighting-extension-for-vs-code-594 | vscode, slim, rails, regex | I spent a few days of my spare time building a [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=borama.ruby-slim) that would bring better syntax highlighting for the [Slim template language](https://github.com/slim-template/slim) to the editor. I quite enjoyed most of the process so I’d like to share what I learned.
### Why?
First of all, **I like Slim**. I like the beauty and cleanness of Slim templates, to me they are way more readable than regular ERB templates and I think they fit in the ruby/Rails ecosystem very well. Slim is a close cousin to [Haml](https://haml.info/), without the ugly percent characters, haha. I've used Slim exclusively in my projects since about 2016.
But why bother building a new syntax highlighting extension for VS Code especially when there [already is](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sianglim.slim) a quite popular one? To answer that I need to add a bit more of a personal context (short, I promise)… As a long-time and mostly happy user of the [RubyMine IDE](https://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/) from Jetbrains I recently noticed I somehow got used to this subdued, passive role: when I encountered a bug or a missing feature of the editor, I could of course file an [issue in the tracker](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/RUBY) but – that was about it. As RubyMine is closed source code and the [plugins ecosystem](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/developing-plugins.html) was hard to grasp for me, I never felt the courage to deep dive into building a custom plugin (actually, I did try hard once – and failed – many years ago, and I can see that things might be a bit easier now with Kotlin, the Gradle toolkit and finally the recent [LSP support](https://blog.jetbrains.com/ruby/2023/07/the-rubymine-2023-2-beta-updated-ai-assistant-lsp-api-for-plugin-developers-and-more/#lsp-support-for-plugin-developers)). So, I waited patiently for the developers to notice the issue and fix it. And sometimes they did! But more often not which is quite understandable for a niche bug or language like Slim.
Now, fast forward to last year's [Rails World conference](https://rubyonrails.org/world) that I was a lucky attendee of. What a breeze of fresh air! Among the many many inspiring people, talks and presentations, I noticed one thing: most people use VS Code, some use Vim but – more importantly – **a lot of [people](https://youtu.be/iRjei4nj41o?feature=shared&t=1261) [tweak](https://youtu.be/GnqRMQ0iQTg?feature=shared&t=2019) their editor / IDE** almost as routinely as they tweak the code they work on professionally! And I thought: I want that too, how come I've lost this mindset here? I’ve taken for granted that I can tweak every imaginable aspect of my Linux OS as well as the Gnome environment so why not my IDE – the program that I literary spend most hours a day in? That was the final nudge for me to try to switch to something – anything really – that would be feasible for me to tweak and that’s how I ended up in VS Code. I’m not saying this will be my final IDE destination (looking at you [Zed](https://zed.dev/), [Fleet](https://www.jetbrains.com/fleet/) or perhaps even Vim) but I know I want to stay closer to where a more active developer community around the editor is.
### OK, but why another Slim syntax extension?
After the switch, an opportunity for a small initial tweak came almost immediately: I didn't like the syntax highlighting of the Slim templates in our project. It almost resembled the old days when RubyMine highlighted [slashes](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/width#percentage-widths) in some of the Tailwind classes as ugly errors (to be fair, they have fixed it a long time ago):

[The only Slim extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sianglim.slim) available for VS Code at that time had somewhat similar problems: it couldn’t recognize slashes in class names, it did not understand multi-line comments, attribute values and expressions, support for some embedded language blocks such as Markdown or SASS was missing.

I said to myself: _it couldn’t be that hard to fix, could it?_ Well… When I looked at [the repository](https://github.com/sianglim/vscode-slim), I soon found out that it wouldn’t be that easy: the grammar syntax was in some hardly comprehensible XML format ([PList](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list)) and looked like being a bare copy from somewhere else, there were no comments or helpful tips anywhere and, above all, the whole thing was basically unmaintained: last changes from several years ago, no issues resolved, no PRs merged. I’m not judging here (of course I made several ”zombie projects“ myself, too), I just hope it’s clear now that I _had to_ go down the rabbit hole and rebuild the extension from the bottom up.
### Down the rabbit hole
The official [Syntax Highlighting Guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide) was very nice and helpful. It was not hard to create a blank grammar extension. What turned out much harder was the grammar syntax itself, partly because there was no formal specification available. The official guide showed a [basic grammar example](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide#contributing-a-basic-grammar) but mostly linked to a few articles such as the [Textmate grammars](https://macromates.com/manual/en/language_grammars) from which the VS Code ones originate.
The most helpful resource for me, in the end, was [this post by Matt Neuburg](https://www.apeth.com/nonblog/stories/textmatebundle.html). It was a long one and I loved how sincere it was when describing the time involvement needed to deep dive into writing language grammars:

Strangely enough, it got me hooked, it looked like a fun thing to try! 🙂
#### Regular expressions
I quickly learned that I needed to invest myself in one more thing before trying to actually edit the files: **regular expressions**. All grammar matching is based on them. I refreshed the basics and re-read thoroughly the [lookahead](https://www.regextutorial.org/positive-and-negative-lookahead-assertions.php) and [lookbehind](https://www.regextutorial.org/positive-and-negative-lookbehind-assertions.php) chapters which turned out to be tremendously useful.
As a ruby developer, I was happy to find that VS Code / TextMate grammar files use the same regular expression engine called [Oniguruma](https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma) as ruby itself. Thus, I could be sure that when trying my regular expressions in my favorite online regex tool, [rubular.com](https://rubular.com/), there would be no inconsistencies due to the engine inner workings.
#### Unit-testing the beast
Oh, one more thing – and actually the most important one – **unit tests**! I would never be able to finish a working extension without having them at hand, I don’t even understand how did people make language grammars without unit-testing them, it seems just like a too complex task to me. I am no [TDD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development)-ist but it was unit tests that gave me the necessary confidence and guided me throughout the process.
I spent some time looking for ways to unit-test the grammar. The official VS Code docs didn’t say a word about that and their [Testing Extensions chapter](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/testing-extension) dealt rather with integration tests for the extension itself. I needed something at a lower level.
Luckily, there is a project that has fitted my needs perfectly: **[`vscode-grammar-test`](https://github.com/PanAeon/vscode-tmgrammar-test)**. It’s a command line tool that builds on the VS Code [regex engine](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-oniguruma) and [grammar file parser](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-textmate) and allows to run unit tests directly against a given grammar file.
The format of the test files themselves is inspired by the relatively new initiative by the [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/) team when they [introduced](https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-build-3103) a new grammar file format called [Sublime Syntax](https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/syntax.html) and – more importantly – **a way to [unit test](https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/syntax.html#testing) grammars**. It’s using some lovely human-friendly magic comments that allow to specify what [scopes](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide#textmate-tokens-and-scopes) should the grammar file produce for a given position on a given line.
For example, the following Slim line is tested using asserts in the comment lines below it: the `<-` ”operator“ targets the first character on the tested line and the `^`s target the ”underlined“ part of the tested line:
```slim
/ unit_tests.slim (i.e. this is a Slim file with comments)
' Verbatim <b>#{text}</b> without processing.
/ <- punctuation.section.verbatim.slim
/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ text.html.embedded.slim
/ ^^^ meta.tag.inline.b.start.html
/ ...
```
This is cool. Even cooler is the fact that the Sublime Text team also provide their own official and full-featured [grammar for Slim templates](https://github.com/SublimeText/Slim/tree/master) as well as unit tests! So, in the end, I just grabbed the [test file](https://github.com/SublimeText/Slim/blob/master/tests/syntax_test_slim.slim) and used it as a basis for all my development of the VS Code extension grammar file. ❤️
#### TL;DR recap
Chances are that your head is already exploding so let’s recap the dependencies and inspiration sources for building a VS Code syntax grammar file:
- VS Code syntax highlighting works with TextMate editor grammar files,
- they are written in an old but well-thought-out specification based on some clever regexp matching
- for VS Code they can be written in PList, JSON or YAML formats,
- the Sublime Text team introduced a newer format for the same task (which is not directly usable in VS Code) and another one for testing the grammars,
- they also created grammar files for various languages, they are usually well-maintained and include the test files,
- the `vscode-grammar-test` tool combines the Sublime Text test files with VS Code / TextMate grammar files and thus allows unit testing the VS Code syntax grammars.
### Building the grammar
With all the tools and some basic theoretical knowledge of the problem at hand, I began building the grammar file. Of course I didn’t start from scratch though, I used the official TextMate grammar file (the [one in the YAML format](https://github.com/slim-template/ruby-slim.tmbundle/blob/master/Syntaxes/Ruby%20Slim.YAML-tmLanguage)) from the [Slim language repository](https://github.com/slim-template/ruby-slim.tmbundle).
I opened up the grammar file and the unit test file in my editor and started working **iteratively**:
1. I converted my YAML grammar file to the JSON format using the `js-yaml` tool (see my [wiki](https://github.com/borama/vscode-ruby-slim/wiki/Development-hints) for more instructions).
2. I [ran the tests](https://github.com/borama/vscode-ruby-slim/wiki/Development-hints#tests) with the output redirected to a `results.txt` log file. This flooded the results log with hundreds of assertion errors. I opened up the log file and scrolled to the first error, for example similar to this one:
✖ tests/unit_tests.slim failed
at [tests/unit_tests.slim:5:1:2]:
5: /Comment
^
missing required scopes: comment.block.code.slim punctuation.definition.comment.slim
actual: source.slim comment.block.slim comment.line.slash.slim punctuation.definition.comment.slim
3. Next, I tried to understand what the error was about: was this a real error or a missing feature in the grammar file? Or, was this just a mismatch between what scopes the original grammar file produced vs. what scopes the – much younger – Sublime Text unit test file expected? What scopes does VS Code need anyway? While it was hard to asses these things in the beginning, I slowly began to follow… (I will share some hints below.)
> BTW, I found the [GitHub Copilot: Explain This](https://dev.to/github/understand-your-code-using-github-copilot-5375) feature in VS Code quite useful. It provided me with explanations that helped me initially, even though I still had to do the hard part – deciding what the error really was about – myself.
> 
4. Having an idea about the cause of the error I edited the grammar file and/or the test file and jumped back to #1. And that was all there was to it! 😄
It may sound scary but **it was actually quite fun**! Although trying to untangle some of the problems definitely _was_ frustrating, the **very fast feedback loop** that this TDD-ish workflow provided was very satisfying and kept me reassured and oriented along the path. The most pleasant were the situations when I fixed a single thing in the grammar file and then watched tens or even hundreds of errors magically disappear!
#### Selected grammar file quirks
I will not try to explain how the grammar file works, it would be useless to repeat stuff from other great materials such as the [Matt’s post](https://www.apeth.com/nonblog/stories/textmatebundle.html). Instead, I want to briefly mention a few of the peculiarities that one likely hits when playing with the VS Code grammar files:
- The order of patterns in the grammar file is important - **first patterns are tried first**.
- The regexps can and often **should use groups** (either numbered or named groups). They can then be targeted by the `capture` keys mapping the groups to the actual [VS Code scopes](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide#textmate-tokens-and-scopes) that the given language pattern should produce.
- Although the regexps in the grammar can match new lines `\n`, they will **never match multiple lines of text** even though they are written like they should. In other words, regexps in grammars are forced to always match a single line of text only.
- The `end` key of a pattern, which specifies the regexp that the matched language pattern ends with, often acts in a surprising way that one has to keep in mind: if you match some _nested_ patterns inside this one, its **`end` regexp will become a ”floating“ one**. It will match the (final) part of the language pattern _after all nested patterns have finished their matching_.
So, for example, if the `end` regexp matches a new line but patterns nested inside the main one also match some new lines, the main pattern `end` will match a new line only after all the nested patterns are satisfied. In other words, what the `end` regexp effectively means is that it’s the _first_ match the pattern _can have_ if no other nested patterns prolong the whole pattern.
- The `end` regexp can also **[backreference](https://www.regular-expressions.info/backref.html) groups from the `begin` regexp**. This is very helpful in Slim templates because it allows the `end` regexp to match lines that are nested out of the `begin` line.
- The grammar syntax also allows defining a **repository of named patterns**. The repository very conveniently cleans up the grammar file and allows reusing of patterns.
- When working with **embedded languages**, the appropriate language grammar file for the embedded language is needed to better understand how embedding works and to run tests that target embedded language scopes (see the `-g` option of the `vscode-tmgrammar-test` tool). It should not be packed into the extension, though, this is a dev-only dependency.
- VS Code has a [convention for scopes naming](https://macromates.com/manual/en/language_grammars#naming_conventions). **Sometimes this convention differs** from conventions in other editors, notable those used in the new grammar files in Sublime Text which I used as a basis for the Slim extension. Thus, I had to rename some of the scopes to match the VS Code ones.
### Debugging and testing the extension
I used a few ways to try and test the syntax highlighting extension I was working on. First of all, the most important one were the **unit tests**. Once I got used to the error messages the testing tool reported, I was able to quickly pinpoint the problematic location in the grammar file and could start playing with the matching rules there. To verify that they work, I again ran the tests and watched the changes in the output log.
In more complicated cases, **I used the [Scope inspector](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide#scope-inspector)**. I created a [launch configuration](https://github.com/borama/vscode-ruby-slim/blob/main/.vscode/launch.json) to run the extension in the [VS Code Extension host](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/advanced-topics/extension-host). Then I could run the extension any time, open up a Slim template and start the Scope inspector via the ”Editor: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes“ quick action (for which I soon learned the shortcut key). This way I was able to inspect the behavior of the extension in a live document.
By the way, I extracted the official [Literate tests](https://github.com/slim-template/slim/blob/main/test/literate/TESTS.md) from the Slim repository into a [Slim template](https://github.com/borama/vscode-ruby-slim/blob/main/tests/test_suite.slim) that would be always ready for some manual testing.
From time to time I also **[packed](https://github.com/borama/vscode-ruby-slim/wiki/Development-hints#pack-extension) the extension** into a `.vsix` file and installed it locally into my VS Code (using the ”Extension: Install from VSIX…“ quick action) so that I could watch it highlighting some real code during my regular working days.
### Final notes
So here we are, the [Slim highlighting extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=borama.ruby-slim) is ready for you to try. I mostly enjoyed the process of building it, although at times frustrating and having an arcane feel. Thanks to the fast feedback loop, very clear problem boundaries and a good notion of progress it was fun most of the time!
I now realize I quickly made most of the extension four months ago and it was only after I finished covering the grammar file by the unit tests that I somehow lost interest. I had the extension installed locally and it was working well, so I didn’t feel the push to finish the last 5% and actually publish the thing. Until now, luckily. 😅
So, enjoy the extension if you work in Slim, and I encourage you to try to build your own language grammar if you like working with a vintage, sometimes weird but apparently well-thought-out piece of technology.

The template is backed by **AIConfig** - a JSON serializable format for models, prompts, and model parameters. You can easily switch out the models used for this template and use the AIConfig directly in your application code.
Try it here: [colab notebook](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/aiconfig/tree/main/cookbooks/Chain-of-Verification)
Please [**star our repo for AIConfig**](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/aiconfig/tree/main)! It's our first open-source project and we're thrilled to share it with you. ⭐️

1,657,458 | Write your own Hybrid Search with RRF and ‘Ember’ rerank | Embedding models are good for vector search with the help of vector databases. But there is a pitfall... | 0 | 2023-11-05T13:15:20 | https://dev.to/anar2706/write-your-own-hybrid-search-with-rrf-and-ember-rerank-3nh6 | ai, programming, development, llm | Embedding models are good for vector search with the help of vector databases. But there is a pitfall here, you can’t always get the best results based on the given context. Embedding models usually use dense vectors. With the help of sparse vectors like bm25 search, we can increase search performance dramatically. That is not the only thing for making the search better we can use reranker to rank out vector search responses for better hybrid search.
To keep it simple I will use Weaviate as data store. For embedding our texts we will use LLMRails and its Ember model for reranking. Because LLMRails is using its model in API instead of loading its model we will use it via API for embedding. First we will get vector and text search results
```
import weaviate
w_client = weaviate.Client(url='Your Weaviate Url')
schema = 'Your schema name'
def embed_text(query):
response = requests.post('https://api.llmrails.com/v1/embeddings',
headers={'X-API-KEY':'Your API key at https://console.llmrails.com/api-keys'},
json={
'input':[query],
'model':'embedding-english-v1'
}
)
return response.json()['data'][0]['embedding']
def search_vector(query):
embeddings = embed_text(query)
response = w_client.query.get(schema, ['text']).with_near_vector({"vector":embeddings}).with_additional(['id',"score", "explainScore","distance"]).with_limit(5).do()
mapping = {item['_additional']['id']: item['text'] for item in response["data"]["Get"][schema]}
ranks = rerank(query, list(mapping.values()))
reordered_list = [list(mapping.keys())[i] for i in ranks]
return {i: mapping[i] for i in reordered_list}
def search_text(query):
response = w_client.query.get(schema, ['text']).with_bm25(query).with_additional(['id',"score", "explainScore","distance"]).with_limit(5).do()
return {item['_additional']['id']: item['text'] for item in response["data"]["Get"][schema]}
```
In search vector we use rerank function and here is its implementation.
```
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
def rerank(query, all_documents):
name = 'llmrails/ember-v1'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(name)
model.eval()
pairs = []
for i in all_documents:
pairs.append((query, i))
with torch.no_grad():
inputs = tokenizer(pairs, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt', max_length=512)
scores = model(**inputs, return_dict=True).logits.view(-1, ).float()
sorted_indices = sorted(range(len(scores)), key=lambda k: scores[k], reverse=True)
return sorted_indices
```
After getting all results from the text search and reranked vector search it is time to merge them with RRF ( Reciprocal Rank Fusion ) which is mostly used in the industry for assessing the weights of response documents in industry (e.g Elasticsearch). What it does is gets document ids and tries to weight them by how many times they are used in each of response.
```
def reciprocal_rank_fusion(query, v_resp, t_resp, k=60):
fused_scores = {}
for rank, doc in enumerate(v_resp):
if doc not in fused_scores:
fused_scores[doc] = 0
previous_score = fused_scores[doc]
fused_scores[doc] += 1 / (rank + k)
print(f"Updating score for {doc} from {previous_score} to {fused_scores[doc]} based on rank {rank} in query '{query}'")
for rank, doc in enumerate(t_resp):
if doc not in fused_scores:
fused_scores[doc] = 0
previous_score = fused_scores[doc]
fused_scores[doc] += 1 / (rank + k)
print(f"Updating score for {doc} from {previous_score} to {fused_scores[doc]} based on rank {rank} in query '{query}'")
reranked_results = {doc: score for doc, score in sorted(fused_scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)}
return list(reranked_results.keys())[:5]
```
And at the end we will implement our hybrid search function to get all results.
```
def hybrid_reranked(query):
v_resp = search_vector(query)
t_resp = search_text(query)
hybrid = reciprocal_rank_fusion(query, v_resp, t_resp)
new_dict = {key: v_resp.get(key, t_resp.get(key)) for key in hybrid}
return new_dict
hybrid_reranked('What is the range of parameters for the large language models (LLMs) developed in this work?')
```
Do not forget to have a look at https://www.llmrails.com/ and https://docs.llmrails.com/. It is one of best and cheapest solutions in industry for embedding and RAG. | anar2706 |

I hope your week is off to a great start, and you're ready to dive into some code. 😄 Last week, we talked about the backend, so this week, it's only fair to make our frontend friends in the newsletter happy.
In case you're wondering, no, today, I won't be discussing yet another JavaScript framework that popped up somewhere over the weekend. But if one had, you'd probably find it on the website I'm about to recommend.
Today, I'd like to introduce you to Component Party!
How many times have you wondered how to achieve a specific result in a JavaScript framework different from the one you're used to? For example, how to declare a component in Svelte? How are refs handled in Qwik? How do you manage forms with Alpine? The list of frameworks is now quite extensive, and while the operations are more or less the same, the way you perform them can vary greatly and be disorienting! Unless you're writing some code while poring over the documentation, hoping it's clear (which, as we all know, isn't always the case), or following some introductory video that often drags on (and requires more time), you don't have many options. Plus, you would have explored only one possibility.
A valid alternative to get a quick initial overview of various frameworks is Component Party: this website allows you to compare the core syntax of a long list of frameworks, seeing how to achieve the same results side by side, with the respective code snippets.
From managing reactivity to templating and component lifecycles, Component Party is a more than worthy companion for your next choice, or at least to get a taste of the various possibilities in a continually evolving landscape like that of JavaScript frameworks.
Which is the latest one you've tried or the next one you intend to explore? Let me know if you spot something interesting among those listed.
Furthermore, Component Party is an open-source project, so if you want to add a missing framework or integrate something into the existing ones, it's a win for everyone!
As always, you can find the newsletter at this link: let me know if you know of other similar tools so we can share them with others! For the rest, have a great week, everyone, and Happy Coding! 0_1

Jin is project what must be key to Utopia. If investigate pentogram we see human symbol what walks by the circle and draws number 5, what mean that human can do all exept 5 sins. Goal of this project to emulate pentogram on ours computers its mean to create human AI. Our Jin must resque the world.
Sorry if something wrong, i repeat the woman by 5 is brain, i am not woman, so i can do mistake.
My email: iamvitalyo@gmail.com
And if you see on this project or project like this donate button please donate, if you can work please work.
If you have any idea please write on email, or create "Pull request", or write in social network using tags together #ai #jin #5 #o #woman
Press "Watch" button to subscribe and watch the progress.
What we know:
- pentagram is safety, so our AI will be also safe.
- 5 in 5 is man he is nolove, 4 is ladyboy he/she is death, 3 woman is head of 5 she is brain, 2 boy is life, 1 girl is love.
- if circle drop in water will be sound "o", if drop half circle on the N, W, S, E will be 4 sounds, so language of nature exists.
- revert symbol of circle is cross("x"), all what not "o" is "x".
- coat of arms of the country can only be "o", flag can be only be grey(balanced color of "o"), if not its "x".
- woman by 5 is brain.
- "o" have constant 5, to draw balanced "o"(circle == his empty center) need diameter divide on 5, result is width of rim of balanced "o".
- "o" have second constant 16, this is how much balls you ca draw in balanced "o".
- "o" describe true and false equly, but in result "o", "o" is true.
- "o" told is 50% or more you think that this or that will works than do.
- current math told that "o" have constant 3.14159265359, its lie.
- current math told that 5 have constant 1.618034(golden ratio), its lie.
- "o" is justice, decentralization, equality, transparency, balance, all possibility - in one word Utopia.
- 5 is 5 symbol of "o" like "3" is triangel, "4" is square ...
- woman is key to 5, 5 is key to "o", "o" is key to Utopia.
- "o" like 5 is simple so our code must be also simple, like our science.
- we from water, water draw "o" for us, we have this symbol on our eyes, nature told too us that we all must leave in Utopia, but our goverment not undertand this, like dont understand that woman is main, and many another.
- we have 2 eyes its mean that we are binary, like our computers, and we can emulate 5 on ours machines.
- if touch water will be "o", if you scream on water dont will be "o", its freedom of speach and law of untoching.
- woman by 5 is brain and she can do anything, for another 4 brain activity is torture.
- "o" can do all, its adapter of all possibility.
- woman need 5 days for penntogram investigation.
- "o" on our eyes told what we can live only in Utopia, now we not in Utopia, now we survive.
- "o" told that we dont have Gods or Goddees, so religion is not "o" is "x".
- woman in 5 is main, so she have moral responsibility about our lives.
Idea/Tactics:
- nature told to us that she loves simple geometric.
- draw circle, in him coordinated cross, circle diameter must have 16 points, in and on this draw and describe 16 shapes, and get their coordinates.
- using coordinates of shapes, draw pentogram dots, try to replace numbers on their shape coordinates, result will be loop, maybe this numbers of loop will draw something for us.
- 4 we can replace with formula of square, like 3 is formula triangel.
- populate this project between people, this our chance to live like 5 like humans.
.......
How we see Utopia or "o":
- travel and rescue in time
- rescue soul life
- get food and another from materia of time
- free media content, music, movie ....
- health, regeneration, gen of youth
- justice
- all possibility
- each person have personal solar system with personal planets.
- if we can travel in time we can travel in space, teleport
- Eye works on the principle of infinity, the similary will be work our computers.
....
Woman please we need your help!
All files on project are free, you can fork or dowload all and create your own project.
Need to check this information but i will write: statistics of child death on African continent - 1 child / per 10 seconds,

1,657,591 | The Agony and Ecstasy of PWAs | This was originally posted on my principal blog. I love PWA technology. I think it's the most... | 0 | 2023-11-05T16:33:52 | https://dev.to/jeremyckahn/the-agony-and-ecstasy-of-pwas-2enn | pwa, webdev, frontend, softwaredevelopment | _This was [originally posted on my principal blog](https://jeremyckahn.github.io/posts/pwa-agony-and-ecstasy/)._
I love [PWA technology](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps). I think it's the most powerful and empowering technology that has come along since the creation of the internet. And it's never going to succeed.
Why is this? How could a great technology utterly fail to make meaningful market share inroads? Let's explore why PWAs are awesome, and why nobody cares.
## User-centric design
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are literally just web pages with some additional functionality to make them behave like a native application. The key components of this illusion are the ability to install the web page such that it appears alongside actually-native apps like Microsoft Paint or Apple Messages, and some level of offline functionality. When opened, PWAs render in a dedicated window as their own app, distinct from any browser. Under the hood they're just another browser tab, but they present as a fully-formed, installed application.
Because PWAs are web pages at their core, they natively offer all of the benefits of a standard web page. That includes [accessibility](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility), [security sandboxing](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox#Overview), the potential to be customized via browser extensions, and observability via browser devtools. Every mainstream web browser has devtools that allow the user to take a look at the code that's running on their device. Most people won't do this, but the important thing is that they _can_. Observability is a de facto right of web users that cannot be taken away by web developers[^1]. And this is wonderful. I can't think of any other mainstream technology platform that puts the user's interests ahead of the developer's in this way. Because of this, PWAs are inherently user-centric in a manner that native apps uniformly choose not to be.
[^1]: It's worth mentioning that developers can (and generally should, for performance reasons) minify their code before deploying it. This makes it less than trivial to figure out what the code is doing, but the point is that it's possible to do so, rather than impossible (or [harder](https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2021/09/08/basics-of-reverse-engineering-ios-mobile-apps/), anyways) like it is with native apps.
In general the tech industry has sort of lost the plot of what we're trying to accomplish. Computers are magical and amazing things, and they could do so much great stuff for people. Unfortunately "tech" has been largely co-opted by VCs into being a wealth extraction mechanism, so user-centric design has taken a back seat to investor-centric design. This has led to widespread [enshittification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification) and a general degradation of product quality. I don't see this changing in the near future, but the user-centric design built in at the platform level of PWAs at least gives us a hope that it someday could.
## Simple deployment
Not only do PWAs offer the most user-centric design, but they have the most developer-centric deployment mechanism available as well: The web! Depending on how a project is set up, deployment could be as simple as modifying a file on a server. By contrast: If you want to update a native app, you need to submit your change to the app store operator (Apple, Google, etc.), wait, and pray that they accept it. Native app developers have no real control over the software that is delivered to their users because app store operators could capriciously deny updates for any reason. _They_ own the deployment platform.
With web technology, the server is the deployment platform. You could run one for free from home, if you'd like. The web also has no gatekeepers or censors. There is no inherent payment processor that skims 30% off of every transaction. The web lets you own and control the code, the infrastructure, and the content. And the best part? PWAs run on every device! There's only one build target. It is the most successful implementation of "[write once, run everywhere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_once,_run_anywhere)" in history. I struggle to conceive of a better way to ship software.
So far I've extolled the myriad virtues of PWAs and you're hopefully as excited about them as I am. If you are, prepare to be disappointed!
PWAs have struggled to gain meaningful app market share, and I don't expect that to ever really change. There are two main reasons for this: Gatekeeping incumbents, and user expectations.
## Corporate incentives stand in the way
Apple effectively invented the concept of a modern app store, and it makes them billions of dollars a year. Many people seem to consider their practices unfair. I don't quite see it that way (nobody is requiring developers to publish with Apple), but I do see what such a market position means for us. iOS and its derivatives offer only one web browser[^2], Safari. The problem is that Safari has always lagged behind the other major browsers in its feature set. This holds iOS back, and it therefore holds the potential for PWAs back as well because it's such a major platform. After all, why would a developer invest resources into a project if it won't work properly on [over a quarter of mobile devices](https://www.statista.com/statistics/272698/global-market-share-held-by-mobile-operating-systems-since-2009/)?
[^2]: Yes, I know there's other browsers on the iOS App Store. But due to Apple's restrictions, they're implemented as reskins of Safari and therefore cannot implement the web platform features that Safari is missing.
Apple has an obvious incentive to limit its browser's capabilities: Apple can't monetize the web. Being the cunning profit-driven corporation that it is, Apple is going to seek to widen its various [moats](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/economicmoat.asp) as much as possible. Why invest in a technology that doesn't produce revenue when you could invest in one that does? It's hard to fault their logic, but the end result hurts users because it disincentivizes developers from creating PWAs and therefore diminishes user freedom.
## User expectations
PWAs, as a concept, don't make sense to the average person. PWA installation is effectively a power user feature because typical users don't even consider the concept. Computer users have been implicitly trained for decades to think of web browsers as a means of basic content access and to rely on installed native apps for more advanced work and engagement. Can you honestly think of anyone in your life (who isn't a web developer or technology enthusiast) that would default to installing an app via the web rather than their app store?
This isn't actually a technology or design problem. No, it's a _marketing_ problem. Marketing problems can only be solved with money, and there isn't a clear ROI in solving this particular one. So things will likely remain this way.
"We just need an app store for PWAs!" I hear you say. Bad news: It's been tried and it hasn't succeeded. [Appscope](https://appsco.pe/) has been abandoned and nobody is talking about [store.app](https://store.app/). I _want_ these stores to win. I just don't see the business model to support them, though.
I really want to be wrong. I want to see PWAs flourish and render native apps irrelevant. But there needs to be a killer business model behind them for it to happen. Without that, the primary audience for PWAs is other web developers.
## What we can do
The good news is that PWAs aren't going anywhere. It's a web standard that's in wide deployment. It's an effective technology choice for hobby projects and side hustles. I don't see Apple ceding its market share any time soon, but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy PWAs today and into the future. I think **we just have to accept that it will always be a less successful platform, especially for Apple users**.
I plan to keep making open source PWAs because it's such an effective solution for [the hobby projects I like to build](https://github.com/jeremyckahn/). I encourage you to do the same. If you value developer control and user freedom, PWAs are the obvious choice. | jeremyckahn |

- Creating a react app
```
npm create vite@latest appname -- --template react
```
- Running vite application
```
npm run dev
```
- Export Component
```
[...create component...]
export default ComponentName
```
- Import component
```
import ComponentName from '../component.jsx'
```
- What to render
The react app cannot render objects
- How to render objects
using the map function:
```
object.map(item => <p>{item}<p>)
```
works if each item in the object is not an object itself as well.
- `this` keyword
`this` tells us about what context it was called from.
if `this` is called from a reference, it becomes a global object, and if it is called within a function, `this` refers to the scope of the function.
- Using props
Pass it through the component:
```
<Component prop={variable} />
```
Using props on the components:
```
const Component = ({prop1,prop2}) => {
...
}
```
- Updating object
```
const items = {
right: 0,
left: 0
}
const updated = {
...items,
left: items.left + 1
}

In this article, we will discuss the key terms that go along with the framework.
{% embed https://www.youtube.com/embed/AjXKQnH-LLE?si=IqXe_klXnYtj8xE5 %}
I’ll be honest with you, I love big words, but I can’t always _remember_ big words. So in this post, we’ll look at the big words that OAuth uses most frequently and try to break each one down into smaller, more memorable pieces.
To start, we have the **Resource Owner**, which is often thought of as just “the user”, but is actually the person or machine who _should_ be able to access… something
That “something” is a **Protected Resource**, which is just a fancy way to refer to that thing-i-only-want-certain-people-to-touch. To put it in context, this might be the photo album in your social media account that you want to upload embarrassing karaoke pictures into.
This brings us to the **Relying Party**, which is NOT the most boring party ever, but is instead the party or application that must rely on another source for authentication. This might be the social media platform that needs some other source to confirm that the user is allowed to access those prized karaoke pictures.
That “other source” that the Relying Party uses to determine users’ authorization is called the **Authorization Server**. This term tends to get muddied the most, and can be called a range of things like “Authorization Provider” or “OIDC Provider”. I personally prefer the term “Authorization Provider” because this actor _provides_ authorization as a service, and is not necessarily a free-standing “server”. The Authorization Provider will usually be a third party source like Google or Beyond Identity, that provides authentication as a service so that your users can log in.
Once the user is authenticated, the Relying Party is able to retrieve one or more **Tokens** which provide critical information. There are two key tokens that you need to be aware of, and those are the **Access Token** and the **ID Token**. The ID Token is optional and may be requested in various ways. It is intended specifically to be used by the client-facing portion of the Relying Party to identify aspects about the User. The Access Token is intended to be used by the server-facing side of the Relying Party, and should never be visible to the client. It is used to provide authenticated access to upstream servers or services - like that photo album service, so you can delete those karaoke pictures before it’s too late. Seriously. Go delete those pictures. | samhuckaby | |

Willkommen zu unserem Blogartikel über den E-Bike-Test! In diesem Artikel werden wir alles besprechen, was du über E-Bikes wissen musst. E-Bikes sind eine aufregende und innovative Alternative zu herkömmlichen Fahrrädern. Sie bieten eine elektrische Unterstützung beim Treten und ermöglichen es den Fahrern, längere Strecken zurückzulegen und steile Hügel mühelos zu bewältigen.
[](https://www.lemmofuture.com/?utm_source=dev_to&utm_medium=rankking)
## Die Vorteile von E-Bikes
E-Bikes haben viele Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Fahrrädern. Sie sind umweltfreundlich, da sie keine schädlichen Emissionen verursachen. Außerdem sind sie eine großartige Option für Menschen, die nicht über die körperliche Ausdauer verfügen, um lange Strecken mit einem herkömmlichen Fahrrad zurückzulegen. Mit einem E-Bike können sie ihre Mobilität verbessern und gleichzeitig die Freude am Radfahren genießen.
Ein weiterer Vorteil von E-Bikes ist ihre Vielseitigkeit. Sie eignen sich sowohl für den täglichen Pendelverkehr als auch für Freizeitaktivitäten. Du kannst sie für kurze Fahrten in der Stadt verwenden oder für längere Ausflüge ins Grüne. E-Bikes sind auch eine großartige Option für ältere Menschen, die ihre Unabhängigkeit bewahren möchten, aber möglicherweise nicht mehr die Kraft haben, lange Strecken mit einem herkömmlichen Fahrrad zurückzulegen.
## Wie funktionieren E-Bikes?
Ein E-Bike ist mit einem Elektromotor ausgestattet, der die Pedalkraft des Fahrers verstärkt. Der Motor wird von einem Akku gespeist, der am Fahrrad befestigt ist. Wenn du in die Pedale trittst, erkennt der Sensor deine Tretbewegung und aktiviert den Motor, der dich beim Treten unterstützt. Je stärker du trittst, desto mehr Unterstützung erhältst du vom Motor.
Die meisten E-Bikes bieten verschiedene Unterstützungsstufen, die es dir ermöglichen, die Intensität der elektrischen Unterstützung anzupassen. Du kannst zwischen verschiedenen Modi wählen, je nachdem, wie viel Unterstützung du benötigst. Auf diese Weise kannst du die Reichweite deines E-Bikes maximieren und die Batterielebensdauer verlängern.
## Ein Blogartikel über den E-Bike-Test: Alles, was du wissen musst!
Wenn du ein E-Bike kaufen möchtest, ist es wichtig, dass du einen E-Bike-Test durchführst, um das richtige Modell für deine Bedürfnisse zu finden. Ein E-Bike-Test ermöglicht es dir, verschiedene Modelle auszuprobieren und ihre Leistung, den Komfort und die Batterielebensdauer zu bewerten.
Bei einem E-Bike-Test solltest du auf folgende Faktoren achten:
* Reichweite: Wie weit kannst du mit einer vollen Batterieladung fahren?
* Komfort: Ist das E-Bike gut gepolstert und bietet es eine angenehme Fahrposition?
* Leistung: Wie stark ist der Motor und wie gut unterstützt er dich beim Treten?
* Batterielebensdauer: Wie lange hält die Batterie, bevor sie wieder aufgeladen werden muss?
Indem du diese Faktoren berücksichtigst und verschiedene Modelle testest, kannst du das E-Bike finden, das am besten zu dir passt.
## Die Zukunft der E-Bikes
Die Popularität von E-Bikes nimmt weltweit zu, da immer mehr Menschen die Vorteile dieser innovativen Fahrzeuge erkennen. Die Technologie verbessert sich ständig, und die Reichweite der Batterien wird immer größer. In Zukunft könnten E-Bikes eine noch größere Rolle im Verkehr spielen und herkömmliche Fahrräder in vielen Bereichen ersetzen.
Ein Blogartikel über den E-Bike-Test: Alles, was du wissen musst!, hat dir hoffentlich einen umfassenden Einblick in die Welt der E-Bikes gegeben. Wenn du mehr über E-Bikes erfahren möchtest, empfehlen wir dir, die folgenden Websites zu besuchen:

You can RDP, SSH, VNC to your server with just one click.
Although Remmina is super easy way to connect your servers, installing it on Mac OS requires a little bit effort. Here is my solution to install Remmina on MacOS Sonoma.
- Download "remmina.rb" from [Homebrew Core, Github project](https://github.com/mvzlb/homebrew-core/blob/1c7f85cc33110256f5287aabda7448e0d817b6f4/Formula/remmina.rb).

- Open the "terminal" app and in the "Downloads" folder install it by
`brew install remmina.rb`
PS: It may throw some exceptions at first try, but you can install required packages via same command.
To start the Remmina application on your MacOS, you can type `remmina` in the terminal.

Click the plus icon on the left upper side to setup SSH (Or VNC, RDP) connection to your server on your MacOS.

Then in the main screen you can connect to your server via SSH with just one click on your MacOS.

PS: This method installs Remmina 1.4.30. If you want to install the latest version follow this guide.
- Open "remmina.rb" file and make 2 changes.
- "url" part should be:
`url "https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/archive/v.1.4.33/Remmina-v.1.4.33.tar.bz2"`
- "sha256" part should be:
`sha256 "129d73dcfd597aa7ba3bd23c7f15d6174718ca981983cfe2c565cfcf150b1c22"`
This will update your current remmina installation 🎊 | turker_tunali |

---
I have been using prettier for a few years to automatically format code, especially JavaScript and TypeScript projects, as it helps standardise the output on a shared code project. I have maintained a few different Jekyll themes over the years and wanted to use the power of prettier to automatically format code consistently.
Here are some of the issues I found and how I managed to configure prettier to meet my needs.
## HTML file syntax highlighting
In Jekyll, your layouts and includes files are HTML files and my code editor treated them as HTML files. This meant VS Code didn’t really understand the liquid syntax and didn’t offer any syntax highlighting by default. It also meant that when I used prettier with the format on save setting it would lead to unexpected results.
I left it like this for a long time as I didn’t know a way around this.
After building a [syntax highlighter for Gutenberg blocks](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=chrisrhymes.gutenburg-comment-highlight) for VS Code it gave me a better understanding of what VS Code can do and how you can customise it further.
One thing you can do in VS Code is manually select the format of the file in the footer and select Liquid instead of HTML. Suddenly I had the liquid syntax highlighting I had been missing. Manually editing each file seemed cumbersome so I researched that you could overwrite the settings in your workspace to set HTML files as liquid by default.
```json
// .vscode/settings.json
{
"files.associations": {
"*.html": "liquid"
}
}
```
## Prettier formatting
Next I wanted to set these files to be formatted automatically using prettier. Prettier doesn’t support liquid straight out of the box, but there is a [prettier plugin made by Shopify](https://github.com/Shopify/prettier-plugin-liquid) that does.
I added this plugin to my npm dependencies:
```bash
npm install -D prettier @shopify/prettier-plugin-liquid
```
And followed the instructions to add it to the settings:
```json
// .vscode/settings.json
{
"files.associations": {
"*.html": "liquid"
},
"[liquid]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "Shopify.theme-check-vscode",
"editor.formatOnSave": true
}
}
```
And added the plugin to my .prettierrc configuration file.
```json
// .prettierrc
{
"plugins": ["@shopify/prettier-plugin-liquid"]
}
```
Now when I saved the html files it automatically highlighted the syntax and formatted on save using prettier.
## Command Line
I now wanted to run prettier on all the files in the project and auto format them using a command line script. I created a new script in the package.json to run prettier on all of the files and write the changes to the files.
```json
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"prettier": "prettier . —write"
}
}
```
But this didn’t format the html files as liquid. Instead, it formatted them as HTML files. I needed to work out how to overwrite the settings for these files to make them be formatted as liquid.
Reading up on the prettier configuration options I saw there was an overrides option where you could tell it what parser to use for the files.
Initially I guessed that I wanted to use a parser called “liquid”, but when I ran the command, it didn’t know that parser.
I then looked through the code on GitHub for the shopify plugin and found a file called [parser.ts](https://github.com/Shopify/theme-tools/blob/main/packages/prettier-plugin-liquid/src/parser.ts) which had an object called parsers that exported `"liquid-html"`, so I gave that a go in my `.prettierrc` file and ran the command again. This time it formatted all the HTML files as liquid files.
I modified the configuration a bit as I realised I really only wanted to treat the includes and layouts files as liquid templates and not all HTML files as some might be HTML content pages.
Here is my final .prettierrc file.
```json
// .prettierrc
{
"plugins": ["@shopify/prettier-plugin-liquid"],
"overrides": [
{
"files": "_includes/*.html",
"options": {
"parser": "liquid-html"
}
},
{
"files": "_layouts/*.html",
"options": {
"parser": "liquid-html"
}
}
]
}
```
## GitHub Actions
So now I had my command running manually I thought it would be cool to format the files automatically using GitHub actions. This isn’t suitable for every one so you need to decide if this is suitable for your project.
This action runs when a pull request is made to the main branch, but you can modify it as needed to your purposes.
The process is as follows:
- checks out the code
- sets up node
- Installs the dependencies
- Runs prettier
- Automatically commits the changes for you
```yaml
# .github/workflows/prettier.yaml
name: Prettier formatting
on:
pull_request:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: "18"
- run: npm install
- name: Prettier
run: npm run prettier
- name: Commit changes
uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
with:
commit_message: Prettier formatting
skip_fetch: true
```
## Conclusion
So now we have automatic liquid syntax highlighting in VS Code, automatic formatting on save, a command to run to manually format the files, and an action to automatically format the files if we forget to do it manually.

Check **[this link](https://devs.school/net-maui-advent-calendar-23/)** for more interesting articles about .NET MAUI created by the community._
The most commonly used option for storing structured data locally in a .NET MAUI app is SQLite database. However, because it is possible to create a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid app, a new option can be considered: **IndexedDB**, a database that is built into a browser,
## Definition
Taken from [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Using_IndexedDB):
> IndexedDB is a way to persistently store data inside the browser. Because it lets you create web applications with rich query abilities regardless of network availability, your applications can work both online and offline.
Before writing this post, I didn't know if it was possible or not to use IndexedDB in a Blazor Hybrid app. In theory, it is possible, so I thought it would be an interesting case to explore. I'm not sure if there are advantages or disadvantages over SQLite, but I do know that there is the typical benefit around Blazor Hybrid: _If you already have a web application which stores local data using IndexedDB, then you can bring your code to a mobile app using Blazor Hybrid_.
Let's demonstrate this. Moreover, I am going to use the experimental [**MauiHybridWebView**](https://github.com/Eilon/MauiHybridWebView) component that was [presented a few months ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxFunRzi-tc) and [highlighted during the .NET Conf 2023](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u30XwO9-10Q). This component allows you to use JavaScript in your .NET MAUI app, it also enables communication between the code in the WebView (JavaScript) and the code that hosts the WebView (C#/.NET), so you can have a React JS app hosted in a .NET MAUI native app. It's amazing!
## Step 1. Create & configure the project
First of all, create a Blazor Hybrid .NET MAUI app. _You must use .NET 7 at minimum for the MauiHybridWebView component to work._

Add the `EJL.MauiHybridWebView` NuGet package in your application:

Using the `Solution Explorer`, open the `Resources` folder of your project. Inside the `raw` folder, create a new folder named `hybrid_root`. Then, create two new files there: `index.html` and `dbscript.js`:

## Step 2. Add the .NET MAUI C#/XAML mobile code:
Open `MauiProgram.cs`. Add the `HybridWebView` support in the `CreateMauiApp` method, just before returning the `MauiApp` built instance:
```
...
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
...
builder.Services.AddHybridWebView();
return builder.Build();
}
```
Now, open `MainPage.xaml` and delete the controls (just keep the top `ContentPage` definitions). Then, modify it according to the following instructions:
* Add a reference to the `HybridWebView` assembly.
* Add a `HybridWebView` component in the `Content` section of the `ContentPage`. Set the following properties and values:
* Set `Name` to `hwv`.
* Set `HybridAssetRoot` to the `hybrid_root` folder created in Step 1.
* Set `MainFile` to the `index.html` file created in Step 1.
* Set `RawMessageReceived` to an `OnJsRawMessageReceived` method that will be created in the C# code.
This is a sample implementation code:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
...
xmlns:ejl="clr-namespace:HybridWebView;assembly=HybridWebView"
...>
<ejl:HybridWebView x:Name="hwv"
HybridAssetRoot="hybrid_root"
MainFile="index.html"
RawMessageReceived="OnJsRawMessageReceived" />
</ContentPage>
```
Then, open `MainPage.xaml.cs`. Here:
* Add the `HybridWebView` namespace.
* Enable the Web Dev Tools from the `HybridWebView` component in the constructor after `InitializeComponent` method.
* Create an async method called `OnJsRawMessageReceived` which displays a message sent by JavaScript code. It uses a `Dispatcher` for a safe interaction with the UI. The message is included in the `HybridWebViewRawMessageReceivedEventArgs` argument from the `HybridWebView` component.
This is the code:
```
using HybridWebView;
namespace NetMauiIndexedDb
{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
hwv.EnableWebDevTools = true;
}
private async void OnJsRawMessageReceived(object sender, HybridWebView.HybridWebViewRawMessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
await Dispatcher.DispatchAsync(async () =>
{
await DisplayAlert("JavaScript message", e.Message, "OK");
});
}
}
}
```
## Step 3. Add the HTML/JS web code:
For the `index.html` page, you can:
* Define a basic HTML5 page that references two scripts: `HybridWebView.js` (from the NuGet package) and `dbscript.js` (which includes the code to handle the IndexedDB database).
* Add a button. When it is pressed, it will execute a `load_data` method defined in `dbscript.js`.
* Add an ordered list. This one will dynamically show the data stored in a `student` table from the IndexedDB database.
Please note, the `dbscript.js` reference is added before the body ends, because we need the HTML elements to be created first.
This is the code:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<script src="_hwv/HybridWebView.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<button onclick="load_data()">Load Data</button>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<h2>Students</h2>
<ol></ol>
</div>
<script src="dbscript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
Finally, for `dbscript.js`, two local variables are created: `students_table` (for the name of the table that will exist in our database) and `students` (the ordered list that will display the table content).
Moreover, some methods are defined:
* `load_data`: It simply invokes `init_database` method.
* `init_database`: First of all, it checks if indexedDB is supported in the browser. If so, then it tries to set up a connection to a `schoolDB` IndexedDB database. If it doesn't exist yet, it is created. The `onupgradeneeded` event is invoked once the database is created for the first time, and here we create the `students` table (object store). The `onsuccess` event is fired once we have successfully connected to the database, and here the `insert_student` method is called twice.
* `insert_student`: As you can expect, this method adds an entry in the `students` table.
* `show_students`: This method firstly removes all the content of the ordered list. Then, it gets all entries from the `students` table. A `Cursor` object iterates over each record in the table to create dynamic HTML content to display each entry.
By the way, the `SendRawMessageToDotNet` method (from the `HybridWebView` component) is used to send a message from JavaScript to .NET code.
```
let students_table = 'Students';
let students = document.querySelector("ol");
function load_data() {
init_database();
}
function init_database() {
if (!window.indexedDB) {
HybridWebView.SendRawMessageToDotNet("Your browser doesn't support IndexedDB");
return;
}
let db;
const request = indexedDB.open('schoolDB', 1);
request.onerror = (event) => {
HybridWebView.SendRawMessageToDotNet("Database error: " + event.target.errorCode);
};
request.onsuccess = (event) => {
db = event.target.result;
insert_student(db, {
name: 'John Doe',
faculty: 'FAI'
});
insert_student(db, {
name: 'Jane Doe',
faculty: 'FAME'
});
show_students(db);
};
request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
db = event.target.result;
let store = db.createObjectStore(students_table, {
autoIncrement: true,
keyPath: 'id'
});
};
}
function insert_student(db, student) {
const txn = db.transaction(students_table, 'readwrite');
const store = txn.objectStore(students_table);
let query = store.put(student);
query.onsuccess = function (event) {
console.log(event);
};
query.onerror = function (event) {
console.log(event.target.errorCode);
}
txn.oncomplete = function () {
db.close();
};
}
function show_students(db) {
while (students.firstChild) {
students.removeChild(students.firstChild);
}
const txn = db.transaction(students_table, 'readwrite');
const store = txn.objectStore(students_table);
store.openCursor().addEventListener('success', e => {
const pointer = e.target.result;
if (pointer) {
const listItem = document.createElement('li');
const h3 = document.createElement('h3');
const pg = document.createElement('p');
listItem.appendChild(h3);
listItem.appendChild(pg);
students.appendChild(listItem);
h3.textContent = pointer.value.name;
pg.textContent = pointer.value.faculty;
listItem.setAttribute('data-id', pointer.value.id);
pointer.continue();
} else {
if (!students.firstChild) {
const listItem = document.createElement('li');
listItem.textContent = 'No Students.'
students.appendChild(listItem);
}
HybridWebView.SendRawMessageToDotNet("Data has been loaded");
}
});
}
```
## Step 4. Test the app.
Now, you should be able to build the project and test it without any issues. I will test it in a Windows app first.
Here is the initial content of our app. As you can observe, only HTML components (a button and a title) are displayed, since we didn't really add any XAML UI except the Web View that hosts the web elements:

Click on the button. The JavaScript code that interacts with an `IndexedDB` database in the browser is executed, and the following output is presented:

Success! Our app has created a local database with one table and two entries, which are displayed in the app. Moreover, a JavaScript message was passed to the C# part, and this communication is possible thanks to the HybridWebView component. Would it be possible to pass the data instead of a simple message so we can build a UI using XAML? I guess I've just found a new topic to write about, so I will explore this scenario soon =)
Finally, don't forget that since we enabled the Web DevTools, we can bring them to debug or, even better, to see our database:

Great! The IndexedDB storage contains the `schoolDB` database that we created in our app (under `Application` --> `Storage` section). Then, a `Students` table containing two entries is there, so everything is working as expected.
Before we go, two disclaimers:
* It might happen that when you run the app, the window is empty. I'm not sure if this is a bug of the `HybridWebView` (don't forget that it is an experimental component) or if it happens because the `Web DevTools` were enabled. Simply run the app again and it should work (try again if not, it will eventually show up). I noticed that when I comment the line that enables the tools, the app works without any issues, so probably this is an issue. I will do some exploration.
* If you run the app again, the entries will be duplicated. This is kind of obvious, since we insert them after the connection to the database is successful. You can clear the database/table by using the Web DevTools at any time, of course.
Well, that's it! You can find the source code of this project in my [GitHub repo](https://github.com/icebeam7/NetMauiIndexedDb).
I hope this post was helpful for you. Remember to follow the rest of the interesting publications of the [.NET MAUI Advent Calendar 2023](https://devs.school/net-maui-advent-calendar-23/).

My problem is that most people are going to look at that and run a mile, as it looks dodgy and not even see the play store option. Is there a way of bypassing the dodgy-looking option? | grahamtilson | |

When we're frustrated, we sometimes blame the people or objects around us but, a lot of times, it's not really their fault.
In reality, we frequently contribute to creating frustrating situations ourselves—by not being fully prepared, failing to anticipate predictable outcomes, or having unrealistic expectations.
When dealing with inanimate objects, it's easy to understand that blaming the particular thing we're mad at is not logical, but the line gets blurred with AI because it feels so real.
Writing code can be particularly stressful. The availability of [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/) may push developers to take on projects that are beyond their current skill level further contributing to that stress.
Given that, there are a few things we should keep in mind when working with AI to help make life easier and stop us from getting **BIG MAD** when ChatGPT doesn't do what we want.
## How to Make ChatGPT Work for You
- **Use Custom Instructions** to make sure ChatGPT understands your preferences. For example, I included that I mainly develop on Nuxt, use the `script setup` syntax and prefer Tailwind CSS.
- **Provide excerpts from documentation** in order to guide ChatGPT to the best possible solution.
- **Break code up into smaller components** and ask ChatGPT to include `console.log` statements for easier debugging.
- **Use a specialized GPT**. See Ruby Mignot's [Code Architect for Nuxt](https://chat.openai.com/g/g-QpUGlIzio-nuxt-code-architect), for example.
## Other Strategies for Learning to Stay Cool
- **Listen to Thich Nhat Hanh**'s talk [Loneliness and the Illusion of Connection](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HD6l2jKwT6k&pp=ygUPdGhpY2ggbmhhdCBoYW5o). Mindfulness is important. This talk, in particular, addresses the issues that arise from the prevalence of technology in our daily lives.
- **Don't be a perfectionist**. Ask yourself if the approach you're taking is necessary and consider opting for a more simplistic solution.
- **Be nice to your future AI overlord**. Remind yourself ChatGPT and AI will remember how you treat them in these early stages. 🙃
These are just a few approaches I've come up with to address any frustration I might encounter in my daily work—learning to deal with it yourself in a healthy manner will increase your productivity, decrease stress and ultimately help you find solutions more quickly.
---
I thought it important to write this post because of all the articles that have been posted over the past year ChatGPT getting angry at humans or demonstrating [misaligned behavior](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/10s67xk/the_base_unaligned_model_of_gpt_shares_its_plans/). While this might indeed occur, I have a suspicion that the opposite is far more common.
So, what are your techniques for keeping a cool head when you find yourself getting Big Mad at ChatGPT?

The correlated subquery is evaluated once for each row processed by the outer query. It exists because it depends on the outer query and it cannot execute independently of the outer query because the subquery is correlated with the outer query as it uses its column in its WHERE clause.

1,685,803 | actions-hottest🚀: GitHub Actions for Commenting on Golang Unit Test Results in Pull Requests | Make the test results more user-friendly I previously introduced a feature in the... | 0 | 2023-12-02T07:46:32 | https://dev.to/nchika/actions-hottest-github-actions-for-commenting-on-golang-unit-test-results-in-pull-requests-1pap | go, testing, githubactions, showdev | ## Make the test results more user-friendly
I previously introduced a feature in the [go-spectest/spectest](https://github.com/go-spectest/spectest), which extracts error messages from Golang unit test results.
I have now separated that functionality into the [nao1215/hottest](https://github.com/nao1215/hottest) command.
The 'hottest' command can use the same options as 'go test':

## hottest on GitHub Actions
Many people run unit tests using GitHub Actions. Therefore, I created [nao1215/actions-hottest](https://github.com/nao1215/actions-hottest) to make it easy to execute 'hottest' in GitHub Actions.
Here is an example workflow for running unit tests using 'hottest':
```yaml
name: SampleTest
on:
push:
jobs:
sample_test:
name: sample test
strategy:
matrix:
platform: [ubuntu-latest]
runs-on: ${{ matrix.platform }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: "1"
check-latest: true
- name: Download dependencies
run: go mod download
- uses: nao1215/actions-hottest@v1
with:
# This argument is same as `go test` command.
args: '-cover -coverpkg=./... -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...'
```
Here are the logs for when the unit tests succeed and when they fail:
- when all test pass

- when some test fails

## Comments Test Results in Pull Request
I find it inconvenient to check the workflow logs when tests fail. Therefore, I have decided to have 'hottest' leave the test results as comments in the Pull Request.
Here are the comments for when the unit tests succeed and when they fail:
- when all test pass

- when some test fails

## Conclusion
'hottest' is a command that extracts error messages from failed unit tests. You can easily adopt GitHub Actions. Its usage is similar to 'go test,' and there is no need to rewrite the test code.
lease do give 'hottest' a try!! Additionally, your support in the form of a GitHub star would be encouraging for further development. | nchika |

**What does it do?**
This library focuses on solving login authentication problems, such as: login, multi-account login, shared token login, token refresh, double token refresh, QR Code login, logout, kickout, banned, second auth, temp-token, SSO …
Using this library can simplify the authentication and authorization business, and only a few lines of code are needed to implement the above business.
Some using examples:

Yes, it's all about making developers more efficient, creative, and just plain happier, but it's also about making your software products just better.
I've picked up on some key things that really lift up the DX game. Today, I'm giving away my top 6 must-haves for an awesome Developer Experience in this post. These come straight from my own journey, chats with developers, and some good old community wisdom. So, whether you're deep in the code trenches, managing products, or just getting your tech feet wet, these tips could give you a perspective on the whole DX scene.
#Values
##1. Liability
Don't solve generic problems. Solve specific problems by curating technology opinions and configurations. Most of the time, you'll do it through code. Alternatively, you'll do it through documentation. You must choose what to build wisely because code is a liability, and every line of code has a maintenance cost. As a result, get ready to remove some of your developer tools over time. As things evolve and industrialize, you must find your core values and lean on third-party libraries and cloud services.
##2. Simplicity
Don't try to build magical tools that turn complex problems into easy ones. That can't happen. Instead, it's better to provide tools to make it easier for developers to deal with the complexity without hiding the essential details of such complexity.
#Principles
##1. Low cognitive load
Developer tools should not get in the way of developers. Good tools let developers keep with their train of thought easily without distracting them. There are no mental gymnastics needed to solve a problem. None. Your tools must let developers maximize their moments of inspiration.
The mental model a good tool pushes to developers is lightweight. There is no magic, and developers must still feel in control. Recognizing that engineering cycles are scarce, you should create functionality that does one thing, and does it well, giving developers time and space to focus on fixing those complex problems.
##2. Abstractions, not illusions
Reducing the developer's cognitive load does not involve taking as many things away as possible. You don’t want to turn your abstractions into compositions or orchestrations of multiple solutions because that leads to unexpected surprises. Developers must know and understand what they are doing; therefore, you shouldn't hide essential details of what you are abstracting away. Abstractions should adhere to the "principle of less surprise," so developers must know at every moment what is happening when they work with your abstractions.
##3. Leaky abstractions
A corollary of the above principle is that you should do “just enough encapsulations.” Creating non-added value wrappers on top of standard libraries and functionalities is a smell. Make sure your developers build on standard technologies (libraries or cloud services) with the help of your tools instead of building on your tools.
This means that your tools should not save developers from knowing things. Build functionalities that minimize how much a new developer has to know to start shipping (with default configurations or conventions) but provide a pathway to go deeper over time. The underlying technology should be exposed as a peer dependency so users can become experts about it through your tooling over time.
##4. (Not too much) inversion of control
Focus on building primitives for developers (building blocks and examples), and be wary of creating generic frameworks (overarching and locked-down tools). If you create a framework, ensure it addresses a particular problem. [In the words of PHP creator Ramus Lerdorf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1906&v=anr7DQnMMs0&feature=youtu.be): “_Everyone needs a framework; what everyone doesn't need is a general purpose framework. Nobody has a general problem; everyone has a specific one they're trying to solve._”
##5. No “one-size-fits-all” abstractions
Once you have decided to create an abstraction, it can't be all things to all people. It's okay for your developer tools to offer different functionalities in different levels of abstraction for the same persona (e.g., a frontend developer), depending on their needs. However, you should not create one level of abstraction to serve all needs for the same persona. | peibolsang |
1,686,100 | What is WAF and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System & Web Application Firewall) | IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and WAF (Web Application Firewall) are among the most well-known... | 0 | 2023-12-02T17:23:54 | https://dev.to/gpiechnik/what-is-waf-and-ips-intrusion-prevention-system-web-application-firewall-53lc | cybersecurity, security, architecture, software | IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and WAF (Web Application Firewall) are among the most well-known acronyms in the world of network security, which novice security professionals may have trouble understanding. This article was written to dispel any doubts and delve a little deeper into the topic.
## How WAF works
WAF is a hardware or software solution that serves as an intermediary between the client and the application. This means that all HTTP communication is analyzed before it reaches the application or user.
To monitor HTTP traffic, the Web Application Firewall applies a set of predefined rules that ultimately detect attack attempts such as XSS, SQL injection, DoS / DDoS and more. In the event of a threat, the WAF blocks malicious requests and responses containing sensitive data.
There are three different types of WAF:
- hardware-based - deployed with a physical device, installed locally on a local area network (LAN). A configurable operating system is installed inside the device.
- software-based - a software-based firewall that is installed in a virtual machine.
- cloud-based - as the name implies, all WAF components are located in the cloud, so that the user (as in the case of software-based) does not have to install anything locally and on virtual machines.
## Naxsi
To bite a little more into the topic, let's look at the configuration of [NAXSI](https://github.com/nbs-system/naxsi), the free WAF module of the Nxinx web server. NAXSI provides several configuration files. One of them includes the `/etc/nginx/naxsi.rules` file, which defines the main actions taken by the module. An example file could look as follows:
```
# config mode section
LearningMode;
SecRulesEnabled;
#SecRulesDisabled;
DeniedUrl "/RequestDenied";
#
# check rules section
CheckRule "$SQL >= 8" BLOCK;
CheckRule "$RFI >= 8" BLOCK;
CheckRule "$TRAVERSAL >= 4" BLOCK;
CheckRule "$EVADE >= 4" BLOCK;
CheckRule "$XSS >= 8" BLOCK;
```
What does the inside of the file mean? Let's take a look at each element in turn.
- LearningMode - NAXSI can operate in two modes, i.e. NormalMode and LearningMode. The former redirects malicious requests to a specific location and, since we do not block these requests, we can return a static page presenting an error message. LearningMode, on the other hand, causes malicious requests to be copied (instead of redirected) to a specific location on the page and then processed by the application,
- SecRulesEnabled / SecRulesDisabled - enables or disables NAXSI for that location,
- DeniedURL - defines the endpoint to which blocked requests will be redirected,
- CheckRule - defines actions when a given result is met.
## How IPS works
As for the Intrusion Prevention System, it is a device or software with a slightly more general purpose. This is because instead of focusing on a single protocol as in the case of WAF, IPS provides protection against traffic coming from protocols such as DNS, SMTP, TELNEM, SSH, FTP and RDP. The main threats the IPS is designed to prevent are denial of service (DoS) attacks, DDoS attacks and exploits.
To this end, the IPS inspects the packets being sent to the server, carefully analyzing each one. If a suspicious or malicious packet is detected, the IPS system can react in several different ways, including:
- by terminating the TCP session and blocking the IP address or account of the user sending the malicious packets,
- by reprogramming or reconfiguring the firewall to prevent similar attacks in the future,
- removing or replacing malicious content.
## WAF vs IPS
Let's do a very general comparison of which protocols and what min. methods, attacks and requests both of the solutions can cover, so we can better visualize the differences between the two.
```
+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| WAF | IPS |
+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| 7 layer ISO OSI (HTTPS/ HTTP) | 3 / 4 layer ISO OSI |
+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| SSL (decryption) | DNS |
| JavaScript | SMTP |
| Ajax | TELNET |
| Active X | RDP |
| Session management | SSH |
| GET, POST, HEAD | FTP |
| URL | |
| SQL Injection | |
| Cookie Manipulation | |
| XSS | |
+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+

[link](https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/1)
Simply put, this challenge requires the developer to retrieve numbers from lines of text, and then add up all the numbers from each line to get a total.
**Part 1** was fairly straightforward. Select all the digits from within the text. This can easily be done via the LINQ Select method, and passing it a method which checks whether the current character is a digit and, if so returns it.
Once we have this, it's just a case of selecting the first and last items in the array, as we always know there will be more than 1 digit based on the challenge instructions.
**Part 2** however had me pulling my hair out for a little while, as this was sneakily more complicated. I began by simply pulling out the text and numeric values using a lookup. However, this did not work due to there being overlap between numbers (text version), e.g. 'eightwo' etc.
To resolve simply replace the matched numbers (in text) format with their digit counterpart, prefixed and suffixed with their text format. This removes any cross over / overlap of words. It's a bit of a hacky solution, but it is one that worked for me (and others it seems online too).

## December 3rd
[The puzzle of day 3](https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/3) was quite some work. It wasn't hard to think of a solution but I needed a lot of code. I tried to reuse as much code as possible between the first and second parts, but in the end `main.py` is still 68 lines long.
__My pitfall for this puzzle:__ I needed too much code, and of course that increases the risks of nasty bugs :bug:. I made a typo somewhere and because unit-tests and type-hints are lacking that cost me 30 minutes of hair-pulling debugging.

1,686,833 | Firebase - A Game-Changer for Web Developers | Welcome back to another exploration into the dynamic world of web development. Today, we're diving... | 0 | 2023-12-03T19:43:03 | https://dev.to/3003mgf/firebase-a-game-changer-for-web-developers-4pko | firebase, database, programming | Welcome back to another exploration into the dynamic world of web development. Today, we're diving into the realms of efficiency, scalability, and real-time capabilities with Firebase, a comprehensive backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that has become a true game-changer for developers.
**The Power of Real-Time Data**
Firebase's real-time database is a standout feature, allowing developers to build dynamic, responsive applications. Unlike traditional databases, Firebase synchronizes data in real-time, enabling instant updates across all connected devices. This proves invaluable for applications where user interactions and data changes need to be reflected immediately.
**Authentication Made Seamless**
Securing user data is paramount, and Firebase simplifies this process with robust authentication services. From email/password authentication to social logins with providers like Google and Facebook, Firebase offers a seamless experience for developers and users alike. Integration is a breeze, empowering developers to focus on crafting engaging user experiences.
**Hosting with Firebase**
The hosting capabilities of Firebase provide a fast and secure solution for deploying web applications. With a global content delivery network (CDN) and automatic SSL certificates, developers can ensure that their applications are not only performant but also secure by default.
**Serverless Functions and Cloud Firestore**
Firebase's serverless functions and Cloud Firestore extend its capabilities, allowing developers to run backend code without managing servers. Cloud Firestore, a NoSQL document database, enables effortless scalability and real-time synchronization, making it an excellent choice for applications with dynamic data requirements.
**Case Study: Transforming a Project with Firebase**
To illustrate the impact of Firebase, let's consider a project where real-time updates were crucial. By leveraging Firebase's real-time database and serverless functions, my team achieved a 30% reduction in development time. The seamless integration of authentication services further enhanced the project's security posture.
Now, all things said before sound great right? But you may be wondering "How do I even use this?", don't worry, next you'll find a quick guide about how to initialize Firebase in one of our projects, followed by a guide explaining how to deploy our application using Firebase Hosting!
## Install the Firebase CLI
1) Install the Firebase CLI via npm by running the following command:
```
npm install -g firebase-tools
```
2) Log in and test the Firebase CLI
```
firebase login
firebase projects:list
```
The displayed list should be the same as the Firebase projects listed in the Firebase console.
## Initialize a Firebase project
1) To connect your local project files to your Firebase project, run the following command from the root of your local project directory:
```
firebase init hosting
```
The firebase init command creates a firebase.json configuration file in the root of your project directory.
The firebase.json file is required to deploy assets with the Firebase CLI because it specifies which files and settings from your project directory are deployed to your Firebase project.
2) In the root of your project create a **firebase.js** file and paste this code:
```
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getAuth } from "firebase/auth";
import { getFirestore } from "firebase/firestore";
const firebaseConfig = {};
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const auth = getAuth();
const db = getFirestore(app);
export { auth };
export { db };
```
This will allow us to manipulate our database from any component we are.
You can obtain your **firebaseConfig** by going to your Firebase Console, click in Project Settings, scroll to the bottom and click the option that says **Web Application**.
## Deploy your site
1) To deploy to your site, run the following command from the root of your local project directory:
```
firebase deploy --only hosting
```
Remember to always check the [documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/quickstart) in case there is any updates!
**Conclusion: The Future of Web Development with Firebase**
As web development continues to evolve, Firebase stands as a testament to the power of streamlined, developer-friendly solutions. Its ability to handle real-time data, authentication, hosting, and serverless functions positions it as a versatile platform for a wide range of applications. Embrace Firebase, and elevate your development experience to new heights. | 3003mgf |
1,686,878 | DoS vs DDoS vs DRDDoS vs PoD attack | For beginners, distinguishing terms such as DoS, DDoS or DRDoS can be problematic. Contrary to... | 0 | 2023-12-03T20:57:13 | https://dev.to/gpiechnik/dos-vs-ddos-vs-drddos-vs-pod-attack-1no8 | cybersecurity, security, webdev, hacktoberfest |
For beginners, distinguishing terms such as DoS, DDoS or DRDoS can be problematic. Contrary to appearances, these are not unambiguous topics, and the nomenclature used on the Internet can be misleading. Therefore, this article has been written, in which we try to explain these terms using familiar examples.
## DoS
DoS, or Denial of Service, is an attack that leads to preventing the operation of a particular system or server. There are different types of DoS attacks. When we read about it, the author will most often have in mind an attack that involves continuously sending certain types of packets to the victim's IP address. This is a simple and unsophisticated way, since it is easy to block traffic by blocking the attacker's IP. Another problem with this attack is its cost-effectiveness - for the attack to work, you need to have more Internet bandwidth than the victim.
## DDoS
As traditional DoS attacks have been made more difficult over time, attackers have come up with the idea of a DDoS attack, or Distributed Denial of Service. It involves attacking a server from multiple computers simultaneously. Often, it turned out that the attacking computers did this unknowingly and it was due to a previous infection of the system.
Summary: DDoS involves preventing access to a server or denying service to users for a specified period of time with requests coming from multiple sources, as opposed to DoS, which usually means a single source of attack.
Over time, DDoS attacks have undergone meticulous filtering, and access to multiple computers simultaneously has become difficult. So various attack methods were invented to solve these problems.
## DDoS attack methods
The varieties of DDoS attacks are hundreds if not thousands. You can check out some of the available DDoS attack methods in the [MHDDoS](https://github.com/MatrixTM/MHDDoS) repository. To illustrate each of the attack varieties one by one, you would have to spend several books on them. Therefore, in our article we will look at only some of them.
### DRDoS
DRDOS involves sending fake requests imitating the target (the victim) to thousands of computers and making the responses hit the victim's machine. IP address spoofing (impersonation) is used for this. The source address is set to that of the target victim. We mentioned a similar method in [article](https://bugspace.pl/jak-wykonac-atak-syn-flood/) on SYN flood attack.
### Hit-and-run DoS
Another interesting case is the hit-and-run DoS attack. It involves cyclically attacking the victim under a sizable attack. Attacks of this type can last up to several days.
### Slowloris
The Slowloris attack can be used as another example. It involves keeping as many open connections as possible with the attacked server for as long as possible. More specifically, the slowloris attack involves sending an HTTP request and then (every so often) sending headers to keep the connections open. The connections are never closed, which ultimately results in the server's thread pool being exhausted and the server rejecting requests from actual clients.
### Ping of Death (PoD).
The last example discussed is the Ping of Death attack. The most commonly transmitted ping packets are 56 bytes or 64 bytes in size. Each IPv4 packet can be up to 65,535 bytes in size. Some of the systems were not designed correctly and did not provide for handling ping packets larger than the size of 65,535 bytes. When we transmit packets, the data link layer most often imposes restrictions in the form of the maximum size of received packets. By this, if the destination packet is larger than the maximum size, it is split into smaller parts, and the receiving host, after receiving all the parts, assembles them into a complete packet.
In a Ping of Death attack, we repeatedly send packets larger than 65,535 bytes to the server, which are then assembled into a complete packet on the host which can lead to a buffer overflow. A well executed attack can lead to RCE (Remote Code Execution).

1,687,612 | Design interservice communication for microservice | What Are Microservices? Microservices are independently deployable services modeled around... | 0 | 2023-12-04T13:09:01 | https://dev.to/burrock/design-interservice-communication-for-microservice-40n1 | microservices, aws, pubsub, designpatterns | ## What Are Microservices?
Microservices are independently deployable services modeled around a business domain. They communicate with each other via networks, and as an architecture choice offer many options for solving the problems you may face. They are a type of service-oriented architecture, albeit one that is opinionated about how service boundaries should be drawn and that independent deployability is key. From a technology viewpoint, microservices expose the business capabilities that they encapsulate via one or more network endpoints. They also encapsulate data storage and retrieval, exposing data, via well-defined interfaces.
Communication between microservices must be efficient and robust. With lots of small services interacting to complete a single business activity, this can be a challenge. Speaking about difficulty, I would like to write about microservice patterns that I'm gonna write publisher subscriptions. These days I find have time to develop technically. While watching a training video on Linkedin, I remembered the work I had done at the company. I said why didn't you write a short article? Today's content is a pattern that we know publisher-subscriber. The reason is we need multiple subscribers. You will find them in this article.
- Details of pattern
- Definition of Entities
- Cross-Account Integration with Amazon SNS
> "Pub/Sub" stands for "Publish/Subscribe," and it's a messaging pattern used in distributed systems and event-driven architectures. In a Pub/Sub system, the communication between different components (or services) is facilitated through the concept of channels or topics. The publisher-subscriber design architecture is below.

What are the use cases:
- Multiple tasks
- Multiple responders
1. **Publishers:** Entities that generate and send messages without knowing who or what might be listening. Publishers "publish" messages to specific channels or topics.
2. **Subscribers:** Entities that express interest in receiving messages on specific channels or topics. Subscribers "subscribe" to these channels and receive any messages published to those channels.
3. **Broker (Message Queue or Middleware):** This is an intermediary component that manages the distribution of messages. It takes care of routing messages from publishers to subscribers based on the channels or topics to which they are subscribed.
The key idea is that publishers and subscribers are decoupled. Publishers don't need to know anything about the subscribers, and vice versa. This decoupling allows for a more flexible and scalable system, where components can be added or removed without affecting the others.
I needed to pub&sub implementation in the last 2 companies that I worked for. Specifically, it was Tiko. Before the business changed at Tiko, my team was responsible for web scraping and web crawling. The main area is collecting, storing, and sharing data with cross domains. The challenge is one crawl operation collects an average of 5 million data and needs to be shared as fast and without losing data. Each team represents a different AWS account. The problem is how to send a message to an SQS in a different account. In the following section, I will describe how to develop steps and explain the subscription access policy rule. In 2023 AWS released the Document db streaming which means every CRUD operation can be a trigger event. I used the streaming process because it is fully managed, with no downtime, and is consistent, and reliable.
**Steps:**
- Set up the document db streaming settings.
- Create a new Serverless application
- Create an SQS with the name of the router queue
- Add trigger Serverless to SQS
- Create 3 SNS Topics for listing separation by country code (use filter policy).
The topics have already subscribed to the router-service lambda application. That architecture works as event-driven when listing data and writing the database that throws the event.

```
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "__default_policy_ID",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "__default_statement_ID",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": [
"SNS:GetTopicAttributes",
"SNS:SetTopicAttributes",
"SNS:AddPermission",
"SNS:RemovePermission",
"SNS:DeleteTopic",
"SNS:Subscribe",
"SNS:ListSubscriptionsByTopic",
"SNS:Publish"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:owner-account-id:distributer-topic",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"AWS:SourceOwner": "owner-account-id"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": [
"arn:aws:iam::team-1:root",
"arn:aws:iam::team-2:root"
]
},
"Action": [
"SNS:Subscribe",
"SNS:Publish"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:owner-account-id:distributer-topic"
}
]
}
```
Advantages:
1. **Loose Coupling:** Publishers and subscribers are independent of each other, promoting a more modular and maintainable architecture.
2. **Scalability:** New subscribers or publishers can be added easily without affecting the existing components.
3. **Asynchronous Communication:** Pub/Sub systems often enable asynchronous communication, allowing components to operate independently and potentially improving system responsiveness.
**Last words**
- Every team manages own applications which means no dependency
- Almost fully managed and event-driven system that was created.
- Manage the data send speed with lambda concurrency.
- Any team subscribes to any Topic. That provides more flexibility
- Every team works own SQS and SQS DLQ.

## Descripción del Reto
En el taller de *Santa* 🎅, algunos mensajes navideños han sido escritos de manera peculiar: **las letras dentro de los paréntesis deben ser leídas al revés**
**Santa necesita que estos mensajes estén correctamente formateados.** Tu tarea es escribir una función que tome una cadena de texto y revierta los caracteres dentro de cada par de paréntesis, eliminando los paréntesis en el mensaje final.
Eso sí, ten en cuenta que **pueden existir paréntesis anidados**, por lo que debes invertir los caracteres en el orden correcto.
```javascript
const a = decode('hola (odnum)')
console.log(a)// hola mundo
const b = decode('(olleh) (dlrow)!')
console.log(b)// hello world!
const c = decode('sa(u(cla)atn)s')
console.log(c)// santaclaus
// Paso a paso:
// 1. Invertimos el anidado -> sa(ualcatn)s
// 2. Invertimos el que queda -> santaclaus
```
Notas:
- Las cadenas de entrada siempre estarán bien formadas con paréntesis que coinciden correctamente, no necesitas validarlos.
- En el mensaje final no deben quedar paréntesis.
- El nivel máximo de anidamiento es 2.
## Análisis
En este ejercicio el objetivo es ordenar al revés aquellas letras que estén dentro de paréntesis. Si hay paréntesis anidados habrá que reordenar varias veces, según la cantidad de niveles anidados que haya.
### Entrada
1. Message(`message`): Un string con el mensaje en el cuál debemos buscar y reordenar las letras que estén dentro de paréntesis.
### Salida
- El string correctamente ordenado
### Consideraciones
- No se necesita validar que los paréntesis coincidan y estén bien cerrados
- Se deben eliminar todos los paréntesis del texto
## Solución
Para cubrir todos los casos y consideraciones, se debe empezar a buscar el último paréntesis de apertura `(` y luego hacerlo coincidir con el primer paréntesis de cierre `)` que esté después del de apertura. Extraer las letras que estén dentro y reordenarlas al revés.
Posteriormente se debe repetir el proceso con el string resultante, así que podemos usar un ciclo `while` para logralo
### Código
```javascript
/**
* Decodifica un mensaje invirtiendo los caracteres entre cada par de paréntesis.
*
* @param {string} message - El mensaje a decodificar.
* @return {string} - El mensaje decodificado.
*/
function decode(message) {
// Inicializa variables para almacenar los índices de los paréntesis de apertura y cierre
let init, end;
// Bucle hasta que no haya más paréntesis de apertura y cierre
while (init !== -1 || end !== -1) {
// Encuentra el índice del último paréntesis de apertura
init = message.lastIndexOf("(");
// Encuentra el índice del paréntesis de cierre después del último paréntesis de apertura
end = message.indexOf(")", init);
// Extrae la cadena codificada entre los paréntesis de apertura y cierre
const encoded = message.substring(init, end + 1);
// Invierte los caracteres en la cadena codificada, excluyendo los paréntesis de apertura y cierre
const decoded = encoded.split("").slice(1, -1).reverse().join("");
// Reemplaza la cadena codificada con la cadena decodificada en el mensaje original
message = message.replace(encoded, decoded);
}
// Devuelve el mensaje decodificado
return message;
}
```

})
let string = matches[0].replace(/[()]/g, '');
message = message.replace(/\(([^()]*)\)/, string);
}
return message;

1,687,988 | How to improve test isolation in integration testing using Jest and testcontainers | Integration testing is a software testing technique that verifies the interactions and data... | 0 | 2023-12-10T08:02:11 | https://dev.to/akinwalehabib/how-to-improve-test-isolation-in-integration-testing-using-jest-and-testcontainers-1ca | integrationtesting, testcontainers, node, javascript |

Integration testing is a software testing technique that verifies the interactions and data exchange between different components or modules of a software application. It aims to identify any problems or bugs that arise when different components are combined and interact with each other. Integration tests provide better guarantee than unit tests but come at a cost, which is speed.
Integration tests are slower than unit tests because they interact with software dependencies and possibly wait for long running asynchronous or I/O intensive processes to complete, such as database queries. Integration tests however provide better guarantees than unit tests, run less often and have a broader scope including many units and dependencies.
In a bid to make our integration tests faster, we can run them in parallel. Jest runs tests in parallel by default, using the number of available CPU cores. Running tests in parallel does save time, but we must ensure our tests are well isolated from each other and have very little to no shared resources.
If tests are not properly isolated or have too many shared resources, you can have a test that invalidates the state of another test. For example, a test can write in a MongoDB database collection, while another test deletes all the documents in the same MongoDB database collection as part of its setup, possibly in the __beforeEach__ hook.
The first thing we need to do regarding database integrations in our test is to use a separate database instance.
This gives us a good starting point because we don't risk polluting or deleting our development data or in the worst case scenario, production data.
Using [dotenv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv), we can easily use a separate test specific database instance by having an environment specific __dotenv__ file such as _test.env_, _dev.env_ etc. In our application, we can then read the relevant _env_ file like this:
```javascript
require('dotenv').config({ path: `${process.env.NODE_ENV}.env` })
......
const MONGODB_URI = process.env.MONGODB_URI;
mongoose.connect(MONGODB_URI);
```
When running your application in test mode with Jest (identified by the NODE_ENV variable being set to __test__), the application will automatically load the test-specific environment file. This file can be used to configure your application for testing, including connecting to a dedicated test database.
In simpler terms, Jest automatically switches to the test environment settings when running your tests. This allows you to use a separate database for testing purposes, ensuring your tests are isolated and don't affect your development or production data.
Tests in separate files could however still invalidate each other's state if they both access the same database collection. Given that tests run in parallel, we cannot be sure of the order the tests will run, and it it's generally a bad practice to rely on the order of execution in our tests, because we can never be sure.
A solution is to run tests sequentially. To run tests sequentially, use the **--runInBand** option when running Jest. When using the option with npm script, you need to prefix the option with -- before using any option, like this
```bash
npm run test -- --runInBand
```
when running Jest
```bash
jest --runInBand
```
JEST_WORKER_ID is set to 1 for all tests when runInBand is set to true, and rightly so because we wont have more than one worker process. Only one test will run at a time before execution proceeds to the next test.
Running tests sequentially solves our problem, but at the cost of speed. Meaning out tests will run slower.
Another option is to keep running our tests in parallel mode but first check if the application is running in __test__ environment, and then add change the MongoDB connection string to make sure the database we are connecting to is unique for each test.
```javascript
let connection
let { MONGODB_URI, NODE_ENV, JEST_WORKER_ID } = process.env
if (NODE_ENV === 'test') {
MONGODB_URI = `${MONGODB_URI}_${JEST_WORKER_ID}`
}
mongoose.connect(databaseUrl);
...
module.exports = {
connection,
server
};
```
Besides setting the environment variable to __test__, Jest also sets the __JEST_WORKER_ID__ environment variable. Each worker process is assigned a unique id (index-based that starts with 1). Using JEST_WORKER_ID, we can ensure we are using a unique database when making connections to the database.
With MongoDB's creation on first use, we don't need to do anything besides connecting to the unique database. If you use a relational database in your application, where the database has to exist first before connecting to it, then you will need to connect to the database using a default database and _superadmin_ or _root_ user, execute create database DDL query first, and then switch connection to the newly created unique database.
It is worthy to note that a testable application is designed with testing in mind, so checking and then manipulating the connection string if its a test context in our application is not entirely bad, but I will say inconvenient.
We can get rid of having to provision a database for testing purposes, so that its a self contained application especially in a test context. This makes integration tests easier especially in CI/CD. This is where [testcontainers](https://testcontainers.com/) shines. It is an open source framework for providing throwaway, lightweight instances of databases, message brokers, web browsers, or just about anything that can run in a Docker container.
To get started, add _testcontainers_ as a dev dependency.
```bash
npm install testcontainers --save-dev
```
Then remove the the MONGODB_URI and its value in your test.env configuration file.
We then need to create a MongoDB container and get the connection details to the container. We also need to inject the MongoDB connection string into the app, so the application can connect to MongoDB database as it would when running in any other environment apart from test.
First, let us create a MongoDB container for our tests.
```javascript
const { GenericContainer } = require('testcontainers')
....
let container;
let app
let connection
beforeAll(async () => {
container = await new GenericContainer('mongo')
.withExposedPorts(27017)
.start()
const connectionUrl = `mongodb://${container.getHost()}:${container.getMappedPort(27017)}/kittytest`
process.env.MONGODB_URI = connectionUrl
app = require('./app').server
connection = require('./app').connection
});
```
In the beforeAll hook of our test suite, we created a MongoDB container using a _GenericContainer_ from _testcontainers_. All we needed to do create the container was tell GenericContainer to create a container of type _mongo_. You will agree with me that this declarative approach to creating a container is terser than using a Dockerfile. We then read the host using the __getHost__ method, and the exposed port using the __getMappedPort__ method.
To inject the MongoDB container's connection string into our application, we create the MongoDB string using the details we read from the container and formatted it to match a MongoDB connection string format. We then added this connection string to process.env.MONGODB_URI, which the app reads from the process.env values, after dotenv must have loaded some environment variables from dotenv files.
Lastly, we imported our app and mongoose connection and saved them into app and connection global variables, so we can close both after all tests finish running.
We delayed importing the application till this point, after we have added the MongoDB connection string to the process.env. If we imported the app before this, the value of MONGODB_URI will be null, and the application will not be able to connect to a database, causing our tests to fail.
Now we can run our integration tests, and our application will run smoothly against a MongoDB container provided by _testcontainer_.
To ensure we don't leave any resources open or processes running which will leave Jest hanging, we can use the **afterAll** Jest hook.
```javascript
afterAll(async () => {
app.close()
connection.close()
await container.stop()
});
```
Besides closing both our express application, and mongoose connection, we also need to stop our container using container.stop(). The stop method is an asynchronous method, so we use await to wait for the container to shut down before execution proceeds.
In this article, we saw how to roperly isolate tests when doing integration testing and also create a MongoDB container using testcontainers. We also learnt how to guarantee that each test file will run against a unique MongoDB database. We also used testcontainers to replace our test specific MongoDB database.
I hope you find this article informative and useful. Happy testing. | akinwalehabib |

As folks found out that our techie quiz doesn’t really do coding questions, but we do cover science, technology, engineering (and sometimes maths) questions, some geek pop culture and anything mainstream that somehow is related to tech.
We don’t really do sports like footie, gaa or the usual Irish pub quiz questions on popular Irish culture, we do try and ask questions for non-Irish locals; we will mention this in our next quiz so people can set their expectations and find a person who has been keeping an eye on the sci/tech culture.

📢 And we are open to another person or two to help with questions for next one. (wink)

1,688,125 | Exploring V2Ray VPN: Understanding Its Purpose and Usage | What Exactly is V2Ray VPN? V2Ray stands as a notable open-source VPN and tunneling... | 0 | 2023-12-05T03:00:08 | https://dev.to/razmjoo/exploring-v2ray-vpn-understanding-its-purpose-and-usage-33hl | ## What Exactly is V2Ray VPN?
V2Ray stands as a notable open-source VPN and tunneling solution, designed specifically to overcome internet censorship and access restrictions. It's versatile, offering a range of clients and servers across various operating systems, enabling users to maintain their online freedom regardless of the device they use.
## The Rationale Behind Choosing V2Ray
You might wonder why opt for V2Ray when there are established VPN services like WireGuard, OpenVPN, NordVPN, and ExpressVPN already available. The key lies in the evolving landscape of internet censorship and restrictions, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated across different regions. While traditional VPN providers and tunneling protocols (like WireGuard, Socks, IPSEC) face challenges such as blocks or interference, V2Ray thrives by effectively utilizing HTTP/HTTPS channels. These channels often face less scrutiny, like limited speed restrictions, making V2Ray a strategic choice for bypassing internet censorship.

## Navigating Online Restrictions with V2Ray VPN: A Practical Perspective
The Need for V2Ray VPN in Public Spaces
Even in regions like Europe or the US, public Wi-Fi networks in places like shopping malls or cafes often impose restrictions. These limitations are not just about content filtering; they extend to blocking essential services like VPN or SSH connections. This is partly due to the security and compliance challenges these establishments face. They aim to prevent malicious activities, but this also inadvertently hinders people from accessing work-related services.
## A Common Scenario: Restricted Connectivity in Cafes
Many of us have faced the frustration of being unable to connect to essential work services over a cafe's Wi-Fi, with poor mobile internet connectivity as the only alternative. This situation is a typical example where traditional connectivity solutions fall short.
## When V2Ray VPN Becomes Essential: Overcoming HTTP(S) Tunneling Challenges
I recall a day when I was in a cafe with no viable mobile internet, and after several attempts with different providers, I decided to use my private HTTPS proxy. The experience was far from ideal — slow, with high latency. I nearly reached my breaking point due to these limitations, yet there was a small victory in bypassing the firewall using HTTPS.
## The Drawback of Traditional HTTP(S) Proxies
While I appreciated the cafe's ambiance, the internet limitations were a significant deterrent. I needed a space that provided privacy, comfort, and connectivity. The HTTPS proxy was a stopgap solution, but it was severely hampering my productivity.
## Discovering V2Ray's Advanced Solutions
In search of a better solution, I stumbled upon V2Ray (and its evolution through V2Fly and a V2Ray restart), an open-source project offering an efficient proxy/tunneling service. Its use of HTTP(S) WebSocket (and even QUIC) for VPN tunneling caught my attention. This approach offered not just improved speed and latency but also additional features like authentication and usage stats. Setting it up took some effort, but it was well worth it for the enhanced performance and flexibility it provided.
## Leveraging Cloudflare CDN for Enhanced V2Ray VPN Performance
Cloudflare's Comprehensive Services and Their Limitations
Cloudflare is renowned for its array of free services, including a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Content Delivery Network (CDN). They've expanded their offerings to include CDN-accelerated VPN services like Cloudflare WARP Zero Trust Solution and VPN. Despite this, many countries and firewall systems have restricted access to these services. However, Cloudflare’s CDN, which handles a vast amount of global web traffic, remains widely accessible. Some countries do impose speed limits on this traffic, but connectivity is generally unaffected.

My Personal Experiment with Cloudflare CDN and V2Ray VPN
While utilizing V2Ray VPN, I embarked on an experiment. I set up a subdomain on my personal blog and directed it to my VPN servers. The protocol in use was HTTPS/WebSocket. This setup allowed me to leverage Cloudflare’s extensive CDN network, which boasts a presence in over 310 locations across more than 120 countries. By implementing TLS 1.3 encryption via Cloudflare and routing it to my server in Germany, I observed a remarkable 88% increase in speed, thanks to Cloudflare's CDN. This was particularly notable as VPNs typically reduce speed due to encryption and tunneling, yet the boost from Cloudflare's CDN more than compensated for this loss.

## Optimal Scenarios for Using V2Ray VPN
I find V2Ray VPN invaluable not just when traveling to countries with internet restrictions but also in European cafes facing stringent firewalls. Given my reluctance to use public Wi-Fi due to security concerns, I tend to use VPN consistently. A VPN's utility extends beyond mere proxy and tunneling; it's crucial for maintaining privacy, masking your IP and location. While most websites use HTTPS/HSTS encryption, there's always a possibility that ISPs or websites might track your activities to some extent. Hence, relying entirely on your ISP might not be the best strategy if privacy is a concern.
## Utilizing V2Ray VPN: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. DIY Private Service Setup: Follow the detailed documentation provided by V2Ray/V2Fly to set up your server. If you encounter any challenges, seek assistance from sources like ChatGPT. Cloudflare Integration: Once your server is ready, connect it to your Cloudflare DNS. This step ensures improved speed and security through Cloudflare's extensive CDN network. VPN Client Apps: Download a VPN client app compatible with V2Ray to connect to your newly set up server.
Secologist V2Ray VPN Subscription:
2. Ready-Made Solution: As an alternative, consider subscribing to my [Secologist V2Ray VPN service](https://www.secologist.com/anonymous-v2ray-vpn). This option saves you the hassle of setting up and managing your server.
Enhanced Features: The subscription includes an HTTP(S) load balancer, ensuring you always connect to the fastest available server.
Unlimited Access: Enjoy the flexibility of connecting an unlimited number of devices without restrictions, often at a more affordable rate than other VPN solutions.
# Note on IP Rotation and Latency Checks

I just realized that this bog is up for more than five years. I was not so active in the first two years hence this blog did not generate much traffic. In 2016 I resumed and then I have been writing since then. Oh by the way this blog is not my first attempt though as I have written [ in past as well. ](http://weblogs.com.pk/kadnan/)
So far I have written 99% of these posts(_quite obvious, right?_) but I am the person who loves to share the knowledge I have and so far I am successful. Today I am (re)opening this platform for everyone who wants to share his/her creativity.
This is not a secret anymore that blogging/content-based marketing got more attention in recent years than anything else. Plain old conventional advertisement does not work anymore, even over the web because people hate it, plus, Adblockers are freely available thus companies and individuals are not able to send their messages to the target audiences. People love stories and blogs provide the most effective and cheapest way to tell the story of your products.
This platform can be utilized by two groups. You are a:
- **Solo professional:-** programmer, designer, marketer, etc, etc but you don’t have or can’t afford to set up a platform to promote yourself. You only have a LinkedIn profile or a downloadable. Both do not work most of the time due to its outreach. Now you have an opportunity to promote your skills on this blog, it does not matter how good you are at English, we are not appearing in an English skills test, Okay? What actually matters is your core skill which you want to share. Read my post [here](http://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/5-ways-developers-can-have-multiple-income-streams/) why traditional resumes are not gonna work anymore.
- **A business owner: ** You own a technical business but you do not have enough budget to hire a marketing guy or any other issue. You can use my blog platform to promote your product. You may either write yourself as a [Guest Blogger](http://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/tag/guest-posts/) or ask me to [review and write about your product](http://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/scraping-dynamic-websites-using-scraper-api-and-python/). Both will work. So whether you are running a SAAS business, some download/web-based enterprise software or sell some developer related tools or libraries, an SEO or marketing/growth hacking agency, you all are welcome to use my blog platform to reach more people.
## Why should I write for your blog?
Good question. The best is that you write on your own and on your own platform but not many people get enough courage to do it for various personal and monetary reasons. I am providing you a platform to reach out to many people. I do not claim to get a million visitors per month but I guarantee you that my visitors are quality visitors. Take a look at a month’s stats of my blog:

As you can see, I am getting around ~10k hits/month and its been gradually increasing. Also, ~70% of the traffic is organic, that is, people search something which is found on my blog thus no fake methods to gain traffic. Needless to say, this blog not only helped me to get my current job but also some cool lucrative gigs as well which helped me to work on some interesting problems.
## OK, sounds cool but, is it free?
No, **fortunately** not. Consider it an investment instead of a liability or spending but this offer is so cheap that often times you’d spend more money in your one time meal. I am planning to charge **$5- $10 per article** from individuals or solo professionals and **$25-$35** from businesses. You can post upto 5 articles per month. If you plan to do more than monthly plans at low rates are also available.
## How does it work?
- **As a solo professional** , you will share the topic with me via email. If it matches the theme of this blog or has not been discussed earlier than I will ask you wrote your post on Google docs and share it with me. If it is approved then you will have to transfer amount either via Paypal or other means in advance. I will send you the invoice for it. Once done, your post will appear on the blog. You will also be asked to share your existing profile/resume/Github/dribble, whatever, that helps to get leads, so I can publish the article with full attribution(_Check an example guest post [here](http://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/securing-your-data-in-azure-tips-and-tricks/)_). Do remember I will not write the post on your behalf, it is completely unethical as the purpose is to show off your skillset rather than mine.
- As a business owner, you can either write a post yourself and ask me to just submit. If you do not have a writer available then you can ask me to review your product and write about it. In such cases, we can discuss some package that is beneficial for both parties.
## Channels of Promotion
Whether you are an individual or a business owner, your content will be promoted on:
- This blog
- My [Medium blog](https://medium.com/@pknerd) which is the mirror of this blog but has more outreach due to Medium’s own popularity.
- Newsletter( Optional as it has separate charges)
- Youtube(That’s the future plan and it’s also optional)
I will shut up now. If it all sounds interesting then send me an email(kadnan@gmail.com) and I will try to respond to you ASAP. Do give it a try, I don’t force you to write for my blog, do try anywhere else, even on your platform, my intention is to give you exposure and if this platform can help you to kickstart then why not? later on, you can switch to your own platform, I will help you here as well. | kadnan |

1,688,253 | Loading Data from MongoDB into Your Jupyter Notebook: Troubleshooting Common Issues | Loading data from a database into a Jupyter Notebook is a common operation, but it comes with its own... | 0 | 2023-12-05T06:34:01 | https://dev.to/anhpvbhsoft/loading-data-from-mongodb-into-your-jupyter-notebook-troubleshooting-common-issues-11l2 | mongodb, jupyter | Loading data from a database into a Jupyter Notebook is a common operation, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Let's explore some common problems that users may encounter when connecting a Jupyter notebook to a MongoDB database and how to troubleshoot them.
## Obtain a Connection String for Your MongoDB
Databases operate using connection strings, a crucial piece of text containing all the information a program needs to communicate with a database. Obtaining a correct connection string is the first step.
## MongoDB Atlas Connection String
If you're using MongoDB Atlas, follow these steps:
1. Click the "Connect" button on your cluster.
2. Choose "Compass" under "Access your data through tools" to get a connection string.
3. Copy the connection string and replace <username> and <password> with your credentials (without the <> symbols).
## Local MongoDB Connection String
If MongoDB is running locally or in Docker, the connection string is likely mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017.
## Other Hosting Providers
For different hosting providers or organizational databases, consult your provider or IT department for the connection string.
Be cautious with passwords, avoiding symbols that may interfere with URL parsing.
## Testing Your Connection with MongoDB Compass
Before using the connection string in Jupyter, it's wise to test it using MongoDB Compass. This ensures that any issues are related to the connection string, not Jupyter code.
1. Launch MongoDB Compass.
2. Choose "New Connection."
3. Paste your connection string in the "URI" box.
4. Click "Save & Connect."
If the connection is successful, proceed to use the connection string in Jupyter. If not, troubleshoot the issues.
## Troubleshooting a Network Timeout Problem
Two common problems may arise after clicking "Save & Connect" in MongoDB Compass:
- **Credential Error**: If you immediately get a credential error, double-check your username and password for typos and special symbols.
- **Timeout Error**: If there's a 30-second delay before a timeout or server not found error, it indicates a network issue.
## Network Access in MongoDB Atlas
If using MongoDB Atlas, ensure your IP address is listed in the IP Access List. Add a temporary rule (0.0.0.0/32) cautiously for testing, but remove it afterward.
If network access is confirmed but timeouts persist, consult IT support or try accessing from a different location.
## Using Your Connection String within Jupyter
Once the connection string is verified, the next step is safely integrating it into Jupyter. Storing the connection string in a separate JSON file on disk is a recommended approach for security.
1. Create a JSON file with the connection string.
2. Store the JSON file outside public repositories.
3. Read the connection string from the file in Jupyter without printing it.
## Troubleshooting Tips for Jupyter
To ease troubleshooting, follow these tips in Jupyter:
1. Turn on "Notebook line numbers" for easy code comparison.
2. Use separate code blocks for testing each step.
3. Print results at the end of each block to verify correctness.
## Talking to MongoDB Database Using pymongo
After connecting to MongoDB, the next step is interacting with the database. Print outputs at each step to catch potential mistakes:
python
# Connect to MongoDB server
`print(client.server_info())`
# List recognized databases
`print(client.list_database_names())`
# List collections within a database
`print(db.list_collection_names())`
This ensures the connection and database details match expectations.
## Querying MongoDB for Data
Verify data retrieval by querying MongoDB and printing example rows. Use MongoDB Compass for query testing and export queries into Jupyter:
1. Export a query from MongoDB Compass.
2. Print a few rows of the DataFrame to ensure data retrieval.
Printed results confirm successful data loading, preventing errors in subsequent code blocks.
## Last-Minute Security Checklist
Before concluding your project, perform a security check:
1. Remove temporary IP access rules used for testing in MongoDB Atlas.
2. Ensure connection strings don't appear in code blocks or printed output.
3. Avoid accidental inclusion of secret JSON files in GitHub commits.
4. If it's a reporting project, use read-only credentials.
Even in seemingly small projects, prioritize security to avoid mistakes and vulnerabilities. Consistent attention to security practices builds a foundation for robust projects.
By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you can enhance the reliability and security of loading data from MongoDB into your Jupyter Notebook, ensuring a smooth and error-free integration process.

1,688,268 | Solving the Permutations Problem using Backtracking in Java | Introduction: The "Permutations" problem on LeetCode challenges us to generate all possible... | 0 | 2023-12-05T06:56:07 | https://dev.to/saikathiroli/solving-the-permutations-problem-using-backtracking-in-java-1964 | programming, java, competativeprogramming, tutorial | Introduction:
The "Permutations" problem on LeetCode challenges us to generate all possible permutations of a given set of distinct integers. In this article, we'll explore an effective solution to this problem using backtracking in Java.
Understanding the Problem:
The goal is to generate all possible permutations of the given array of integers. A permutation is an arrangement of all the elements in a set. The key here is that all permutations should be unique.
Approach:
We will use a backtracking approach to explore all possible combinations and construct permutations. Backtracking is a systematic way of exploring all possible solutions to a problem and undoing a choice if it doesn't lead to a valid solution.
Code Walkthrough:
Let's dive into the provided Java code and understand how it works.
```
class Solution {
List<List<Integer>> ass = new ArrayList<>();
public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums) {
List<Integer> one = new ArrayList<>(nums.length);
for(int x:nums) {
one.add(Integer.MIN_VALUE);
}
permu(nums, 0, nums.length, one);
return ass;
}
public void permu(int[] nums, int a, int e, List<Integer> was) {
if(a == e) {
ass.add(was);
return;
}
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
if(was.get(i) == Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
List<Integer> monk = new ArrayList<>(was);
monk.set(i, nums[a]);
permu(nums, a + 1, e, monk);
}
}
}
}
```
List Initialization: The ass list is used to store the final result, i.e., all permutations.
permute() Method: This method initializes a list one with a placeholder value (Integer.MIN_VALUE) and then calls the permu() method to start the permutation generation process.
permu() Method: This is the recursive backtracking method. It checks if the current permutation is complete (a == e) and adds it to the result list. Otherwise, it iterates through the elements of the input array, makes a choice, and recurses.
Improvements and Explanation:
While the provided code successfully generates permutations, there is an issue with the way lists are handled. In Java, when you add a list to another list (ass.add(was)), you are essentially adding a reference to the same list. This can lead to unintended behavior, as modifications to one list will affect others.
To fix this, we should create a deep copy of the list before adding it to the result. Replace the line ass.add(was) with ass.add(new ArrayList<>(was)) to ensure that each permutation is stored independently.
```
ass.add(new ArrayList<>(was));
```
Conclusion:
In this article, we explored a backtracking approach to solving the "Permutations" problem on LeetCode using Java. We analyzed the provided code, explained the backtracking strategy, and suggested an improvement to handle list references correctly. Understanding and implementing backtracking is a valuable skill for solving a wide range of combinatorial problems. | saikathiroli |

1,688,654 | I took some notes about servers. | I had difficulty figuring out what is a server. I was confused because peoples talking about server... | 0 | 2023-12-05T13:37:14 | https://dev.to/liladoc/i-took-some-notes-about-servers-3c7e |
I had difficulty figuring out what is a server. I was confused because peoples talking about server seems not to refer to the same thing. For me, a server was a machine that you could communicate and that could do whatever you want. Store data for example. Then I got to install Apach2, and at the moment my definition didn’t sound quite right. I was completely lost. How can Apach2 be a server if it wasn’t a machine but software?
If you are in the same case, let me explain.
**First, what is the internet, and what is the web?**
Internet is all of the machines that communicate together by cables constituting a network.
Those machines want to exchange messages. Those messages are sent by a protocol. A protocol is the way you should read the message. There are a lot of protocols: HTTP, SCP, FTP… Itch has its specificity. But the most common on the web is HTTP.
HTTP is for HyperText Transfer Protocol. Everything is in the title. HTTP is a protocol that allows you to exchange Hypertext messages, so text. The language we use to write the message is HTML for HyperText Markup Language. So if you want to share information you can wright an HTML file.
HTML files contain text that can be structured with tags. For example h1 to create a title. That’s how you build a web page. One of the tags is particularly interesting. It is the a tag. It allows you to create a link to another web page. So at the end, you have a tone of web pages linked between them. And that is the WWW. The World Will Web (WWW) is a network in which pages redirect to each other by links.
**How do we do that? How can we exchange messages?**
I wrote my web page index.html locally (on my laptop) that I want to share. Now what?
I want people to have access to my web page. So I send my index.html to another machine that will have the job to share my web page. That could be any computer. This computer will listen to requests from other computers that want to have access to my web page (clients) and respond to them. This is what we call my server.
But work, our computer needs software that can manage the requests and that knows HTTP. This software is my web server or my web application. There are many and Apach2 is one of them.
To listen to requests, we have to attribute a port to our web server. Basically, we tell it “Hey! This is your canal of discussion!”. To reach our web server, the client will have to send its request to my server’s IP to this port. The default port for HTTP servers is port 80.
When the APP (application) receives a request, it will search into the server’s files and send the content of the file requested. The file by default is index.html.
Now, you can understand how a URL works.

1,688,945 | ✨Validación de contraseñas accessible✨ | En esta entrada vamos a aprender como hacer una validación de contraseñas accesible. El repo de... | 0 | 2023-12-05T19:15:32 | https://dev.to/micaavigliano/validacion-de-contrasenas-accessible-5gh6 | react, javascript, nextjs, a11y | En esta entrada vamos a aprender como hacer una validación de contraseñas accesible.
El repo de Github podes encontrarlo en el siguiente link: https://github.com/micaavigliano/password-a11y
El demo de la applicación podes probarlo en el siguiente link: https://password-a11y.vercel.app/
**Primero que nada, debemos crear nuestro input accesible**
```javascript
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit} id="form-id" className="pb-2 pt-6">
<label htmlFor="password-input-id">Contraseña</label>
<div
className="rounded-full border-solid border-2 border-white px-3 py-1 flex flex-row justify-between"
aria-label="this component include an input and a button to see the password"
>
<input
type={seePassword ? "text" : "password"}
onChange={(e) => {
const newPassword = e.target.value;
if (newPassword !== "") {
setPassword(newPassword);
} else if (newPassword === "") {
setIsDirty(null);
}
}}
placeholder="Escribí tu contraseña"
autoComplete="new-password"
className="text-white bg-transparent placeholder:text-slate-400 w-11/12"
id="password-input-id"
aria-describedby="password-requirement"
required
ref={inputRef}
/>
<p
id="password-requirement"
className="absolute w-1 h-1 -m-1 overflow-hidden clip-hidden"
>
tu contraseña debe incluir {passwordRequirements}
</p>
<button
onClick={() => {
setSeePassword(!seePassword);
}}
role="switch"
aria-checked={seePassword}
aria-label={
seePassword ? `esconder contraseña` : `mostrar contraseña`
}
className="hover:shadow-lg hover:bg-pink-300 hover:text-black"
>
{seePassword ? <VisibilityOff /> : <Visibility />}
</button>
</div>
</form>
```
1) Para que nuestro input sea accesible debemos asociarlo con su label. Para que esto suceda debemos asociar el atributo `htmlFor` con el `id` del input. Al hacer esto, logramos cumplir con cuatro estandares de accesibilidad de la WCAG 2.2:
1. [Info and Relationships (nivel A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/info-and-relationships): se enfoca en asegurar que la información este claramente asociada a su contexto y estructura.
2. [Name, Role, Value (nivel A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/name-role-value): se enfoca que los elementos interactivos tengan nombres descriptivos, roles claros y valores significativos asociados a ellos. Esto ayuda a que las tecnologías asistivas sepan interpretarlos fácilmente.
3. [Non-text Content (nivel A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/non-text-content): se enfoca en proporcionar alternativas textuales a contenido no textual (imagenes, inputs, gráficos, etc). Esto ayuda a que las tecnologías asistivas sepan interpretarlos fácilmente.
4. [Labels or Instructions (nivel A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/labels-or-instructions): se enfoca en asegurar que los formularios y controles interactivos tengan instrucciones claras.
2) agregar atributo `autocomplete` con el valor "new-password" para que el browser sepa que no se debe sugerir ni autocompletar el input con ninguna contraseña previa que el usuario haya utilizado previamente. Por otro lado, también permite notificarle a la tecnología asistiva que utilice el usuario que ese input esta "asegurado"

3) En este caso, el atributo `type` va a variar entre `text` y `password`. Esto se debe a que vamos a tener un botón para poder visualizar la contraseña. Este mecanismo es de vital importancia en los inputs de contraseña ya que los screen readers NO anuncian la contraseña cuando tienen un `type="password"` pero sí lo hacen cuando tienen un `type="text"`, por este motivo el botón para visualizar la contraseña va a modificar el estado de visualización.
- ejemplo anuncio con `type="password"`

- ejemplo de anuncio con `type="text"`

**Pasemos a entender la funcionalidad de este input**
1) Aquí vamos a encontrar el atributo `aria-describedby` con el valor `password-requirement`. El aria-describedby nos permite proporcionar información mucho más detallada o adicional relacionada a un elemento. En formularios se utiliza para asociar mensajes de validación o instrucciones adicionales a campos específicos, lo que sería nuestro caso.
Este atributo lo asociaremos mediante un atributo `id` al siguiente elemento:
```javascript
<p
id="password-requirement"
className="absolute w-1 h-1 -m-1 overflow-hidden clip-hidden"
>
tu contraseña debe incluir {passwordRequirements}
</p>
```
Este elemento nos renderizará los requerimientos necesarios (en este caso en particular, pueden variar según las necesidades del input) para generar una contraseña segura y robusta. Por otro lado, nos va a permitir avisarle a la tecnología asistiva que hay información extra asociada a ese input y debe ser anunciada. En este caso va a anunciarlo de la siguiente manera:

2) También vamos a crear una referencia para que el elemento en cuestión sea lo primero que reciba foco apenas se renderiza la aplicación. De esta manera, el screen reader puede anunciar inmediatamente los requerimientos necesarios para generar una contraseña.
```javascript
useEffect(() => {
inputRef.current?.focus();
}, []);
```
**Funcionalidad botón para mostrar/esconder contraseña**
1) Es necesario que este botón tenga un atributo `role` con el valor `switch` para anunciar que es un elemento que puede ser alternado entre dos valores. En conjunto al role="switch" tendremos que colocar un `aria-checked`.
2) Es de vital importancia actualizar el contenido del `aria-label` para que el usuario tenga contexto de cuál es la acción del botón.
**Validación en tiempo real de los requisitos**
Si el usuario de tecnologías asistivas quiere volver a escuchar los requisitos puede simplemente presionar `Control-Option-Command-Slash` en VoiceOver o `Control+alt+n` en NVDA. A su vez, nosotros podemos proveer un mecanismo en tiempo real para que sepa cuántos requisitos lleva validados de la siguiente manera:
```javascript
const [total, setTotal] = useState(requirement.length);
const checkIfAllAreChecked = useCallback(
(requirement: Requirement[]) => {
let fulfilledRequirements = 0;
if (Array.isArray(requirement)) {
requirement.forEach((req: Requirement) => {
const matchResult = password?.match(req.matchRegex);
setIsDirty(true);
//cada vez que un resultado matchea con nuestro regex va a incrementar nuestro counter
if (matchResult) {
fulfilledRequirements++;
}
});
setTotal(requirement.length - fulfilledRequirements);
}
},
[password, setIsDirty]
);
{...}
<div
role="status"
aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
className="absolute w-1 h-1 -m-1 overflow-hidden clip-hidden"
id={idInput}
>
{total === 0 ? (
<p>tu contraseña esta lista!</p>
) : (
<p>
{total} requisitos de {requirement.length}
</p>
)}
</div>
```
El mensaje se anunciará de la siguiente manera:

Para que esto pueda ser anunciado como una actualización debemos utilizar el `role="status"`, en conjunto de dos atributos `aria-live` y `aria-atomic`.
El atributo `aria-live="polite"` sirve para saber cómo y cuando anunciar las actualizaciones a los usuarios a través de los lectores de pantalla. En este caso, el valor `polite` indica que las actualizaciones se anunciarán una vez que el usuario haya terminado su actividad actual. Esto significa que el lector de pantalla esperará para anunciar la actualización.
El atributo `aria-atomic="true"` sirve para indicarle al lector de pantalla que el contenido debe ser anunciado por completo.

## What Is Machine Learning Sentiment Analysis and Major Groups of It?
The process to rate the data, especially in the form of text, in terms of a range of sentiments such as positive, negative, neutral, anger, frustration, and other feelings is known as sentiment analysis. In modern processes powered by artificial intelligence, the training data for sentiment analysis is built from multiple types of data such as text, voice, expressions, gestures, and other cues. The sentiment analysis is also referred to as opinion mining through text analysis AI tools.
AI-powered sentiment tracking and analytics, and even recruitment sentiment analytics, is performed through certain natural language processing (NLP) techniques such as word classification, sentimental phrasing, unstructured text datasets, and other types of data annotations. The implementation of sentiment analysis positive, negative, neutral, and other tones can be done through different analysis groups as mentioned below:
### Rule-Based Analysis
This group uses a dictionary of words, which have already been assigned certain sentiment values. The NLP technique uses different processes for sentiment detection such as word stemming, tokenization, categorization, and others before accessing sentiment value of the word in the dictionary. This group of sentiment analysis needs regular updates because it does not support many features such as position of the word in sentence, arrangement of words, sarcasm detection NLP, and others.
### Automatic Machine Learning Analysis
To provide more capabilities to the ML algorithms, additional training through annotated datasets is given to learn different kinds of sentiments such as anger, sarcasm, synonyms, and other tones to perform automated text mood analysis through prior deep learning. This method is more efficient as compared to the rule-based group.
### Hybrid Group
In this category of sentiment analysis, both the rule-based and automatic ML categories are used to perform emotion analysis from text data.
## What Are Advantages and Disadvantages of AI Sentiment Analysis Services?

### Introduction to Docker Containers in Data Analysis.
Docker containers have revolutionized the way software applications and environments are used, and their usefulness has extended to simple data analytics aspects Docker packaging provides a lightweight, portable and scalable solution application and its dependencies, thus ensuring stability across environments For well-defined data analysis, where reproducibility and stability are key, Docker containers provide powerful tools for creating and managing environments we are surrounded by it.
**Relevance of Docker in Data Analysis:**
1. Reproducible environment:
- Docker allows data analysts to hold the entire analytics environment, including libraries, dependencies, and configurations, in a single container. This ensures that the analysis can always be replicated across systems, reducing issues of version incompatibility and system-specific dependencies
2. Separation and Portability:
- Docker containers contain applications and dependencies, isolating them from the host system. This isolation not only ensures isolation of the research environment but also facilitates portability. Analysts can confidently share Docker images, knowing that analytics will continue to work regardless of the underlying infrastructure.
3. Consistent development and production environment:
- Docker containers help bridge the gap between development and production. Analysts can build and test their analytics in the same Docker container they use, reducing the chances of "it works on my machine" issues. This synchronization between environments increases reliability and reduces implementation challenges.
4. Effective communication:
- Docker containers facilitate collaboration between data analysts and teams. Instead of relying on complicated configuration guidelines or manually managing dependencies, team members can share Docker images of the entire test environment this simplifies collaboration and reduces the configuration effort required for team members or other colleagues.
5. Translation and Rollback:
- Docker enables rendering of images, allowing researchers to tag and track changes in the research environment over time. This interpretation capability is invaluable for maintaining the history of the search environment, aiding in reconstruction, and facilitating a return to a specific version if problems arise
6. Flexibility:
- The lightweight nature of Docker makes it ideally suited for scalable and distributed data analytics workflows. Containers can be easily configured using tools such as Docker Compose or Kubernetes, allowing researchers to horizontally scale their research across multiple containers and benefit from parallel configuration in
Docker containers offer a solution to the challenges of reproducibility and stability in data analysis. By embedding the analytics environment, Docker facilitates high-performance collaboration, ensures consistent deployment across multiple environments, and empowers data analysts to reliably build, share, and replicate analytics
6. Creating a Dockerfile:
Here we create a etl_data.py and define the logic for our data ETL pipeline using pandas

This script first reads data from an API endpoint using the requests library. The data is then converted to a pandas DataFrame. Finally, the data is converted to csv format and then loaded to a GCS bucket using the google-cloud-storage library.
We then create a requirements.txt file to hold the libraries the application will need to run.

A requirements.txt file is a plain text file that lists all of the Python packages that a project needs to run. It is typically used with the pip package manager to install the necessary packages.
To create a requirements.txt file, you can use a text editor to create a new file named "requirements.txt". Then, you can add the names of all of the Python packages that your project needs to run, one per line.
Creating a Dockerfile is an essential step in containerizing your data analysis project. It provides a structured way to define the environment and dependencies required for running your project within a container.
We create a dockerfile for our application to dockerize it.

**Step 1**: **Choose a Base Image.**
The base image serves as the foundation for your Docker image. It provides the operating system and basic tools required for running your project. For data analysis projects, you'll typically use a Python-based base image, such as python:3.10
**Step 2**: **Specify Working Directory.**
Set the working directory for the container using the WORKDIR instruction. This indicates where the project files will be located within the container.
**Step 3**: **Copy requirements.text file.**
Copy the requirement file from your local machine into the container using the COPY instruction.
**Step 4**: **Install Dependencies.**
Use the RUN instruction to install all required dependencies for your project from the requirements txt file. This could include Python libraries, data analysis tools, or other software packages.
**Step 5**: **Copy Project Files.**
Copy the project files from your local machine into the container using the COPY instruction. Specify the source directory on your local machine and the destination directory within the container.
**Step 6**: **Define Entrypoint.**
Specify the entrypoint command using the ENTRYPOINT instruction.This command runs the application when the container starts.
### Building a Docker Image Locally.
Build the Docker Image:
• Navigate to the directory containing your Dockerfile.
• Run the following command to build the Docker image:

Here we build the docker image locally.

Stage Changes:
• Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory containing your project files.
• Add the modified files to the staging area using the following command:
```
git add .
```
This will add all the modified files in the current directory to the staging area.
2. Commit Changes:
• Commit the staged changes with a descriptive message using the following command:
```
git commit -m “the data application done"
```
3. Push Changes:
• Push the committed changes to the remote repository on GitHub using the following command:
Bash
```
git push origin master
```

### GitHub Actions and Automation of CI/CD Pipelines.
GitHub Actions is a powerful and flexible automation platform integrated directly into the GitHub repository. It allows developers to define, maintain, and execute working systems directly in the repository, making it easier to build, test, and deploy. GitHub Actions is particularly well suited for the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, which simplifies the software development lifecycle.
Highlights of GitHub actions:
1. Business Description:
- Workflow on GitHub Behaviors are defined using YAML files. These files define various tasks, each of which contains steps that specify the tasks to be performed, such as build code, run tests, or deploy applications
2. Triggers:
- Workflows can be triggered by various events, such as code pushes, pull requests, or release builds. This ensures that defined actions are automatically performed in response to specific events during the development process.
3. Matrix Installations:
- GitHub Actions supports matrix builds, allowing developers to define multiple combinations of operating systems, dependencies, or other parameters. This feature is useful for testing and ensuring code consistency across environments.
4. Parallel and sequential activities:
- The process can accelerate the accuracy and sequencing of tasks, efficient resource utilization, and overall piping. This is especially useful for tasks such as running tests concurrently.
Benefits of using GitHub actions to create and deploy Docker images:
1. Native integration with GitHub:
- GitHub Actions are seamlessly integrated into the GitHub repository, eliminating the need for external CI/CD services. This tight integration simplifies configuration and increases visibility, as workflows and results are easily accessible in the GitHub interface.
2. Docker Image Installation:
- GitHub Actions provides native support for Docker image builds. Developers can define workflows that run Docker images based on specified configurations. This automation ensures consistency during the build process and allows for updating and following changes to Docker images.
3. Flexible workflow:
- The workflow in GitHub Processes is highly customizable. Developers can define multiple steps in a workflow, enabling tasks such as linting, testing, building, and deploying Docker images. These changes align with project requirements.
4. Combined mystery and variable environment:
- GitHub Actions allow confidentiality and environment variables to be stored and managed securely. This is important for managing sensitive information, such as access tokens or API keys, that are important in creating or deploying Docker images.
5. Shared artifacts:
- Enables you to share artifacts between projects in a GitHub Actions workflow. This is beneficial for moving Docker images and other building blocks from one project to another, simplifying the entire pipeline and avoiding unnecessary work
6. Community and Market Trends:
- GitHub Actions has a robust ecosystem of community contribution actions and workflows in the GitHub Marketplace. Developers can use these pre-built practices to perform repetitive tasks, saving time and effort when configuring complex CI/CD pipelines.
GitHub Actions provides a unified and flexible platform for running CI/CD pipelines directly within the GitHub repository. Its native support for Docker image builds coupled with easy integration and scalable workflows make it an ideal choice for building and efficiently deploying Dockerized applications.
### Creating a CI/CD Workflow with GitHub Actions.
The GitHub Actions workflow describes the steps that must be automated in response to specific events when creating a YAML file, such as code push or pull requests to create and push Docker images.

Step 1: Create a GitHub Actions Workflow YAML File
In your GitHub repository, create a directory named **.github/workflows** or click on **Actions **tab on your repository
Inside the **.github/workflows** directory, create a new YAML file, for example, **main.yml**.

Here a YAML file for building and pushing a Docker image:

1. **name:**- This defines the name of the workflow.
2. **on:**- This specifies the event that will trigger the workflow. In this case, the workflow will run when there is a push to the main branch.
3. **jobs:**- This section defines the jobs in the workflow. In this case, there is one job named build.
4. **runs-on:**- This specifies the runner environment for the job. In this case, the job will run on a ubuntu-latest runner.
5. **steps:**- This section defines the steps to be executed in the job. Each step has a name, and the run keyword is used to specify the command to execute.
6. **Checkout code:** - This step checks out the code from the GitHub repository.
7. **Set up Docker Buildx:** -This step sets up Docker Buildx, which is a tool for building Docker images.
8. **Build Docker image:** - This step builds the Docker image using the Dockerfile in the current directory. The -t flag specifies the image name and tag.
9. **Publish Docker image to Docker Hub:** - This step logs in to Docker Hub using the DOCKERHUB_USERNAME and DOCKERHUB_TOKEN secrets.
10. **Push Docker image to Docker Hub:** - This step pushes the built Docker image to Docker Hub.
### Secrets and Environment Variables
Securing sensitive information, such as DockerHub credentials, is important when working with GitHub Actions workflows. GitHub Secrets provides a secure way to store and manage sensitive information in your repository without it being exposed in your workflow code or logs
Create Secrets in your GitHub Repository:
- Navigate to your repository's settings page.
- Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu under your repository name.
- Click on "Secrets" in the left sidebar.
- Click on "New repository secret".
- Enter a name for your secret, such as "DOCKERHUB_USERNAME" or "DOCKERHUB_TOKEN".
- Paste your secret value, such as your DockerHub username or token, in the "Value" field.
- Click on "Add secret".

By using GitHub Secrets, you can securely manage sensitive information in your GitHub Actions workflows, ensuring that your credentials and other sensitive data are not exposed in your code or logs.
### Triggering the CI/CD Pipeline.
GitHub Actions workflows can be triggered by various events, allowing you to automate your development and deployment processes.
In this project code changes pushed to the repository will trigger the workflow to run.

Here are the primary triggering mechanisms:
1. Code Pushes:
Code pushes are the most common trigger for GitHub Actions workflows. When you push changes to your repository, the workflow will automatically run, allowing you to test, build, and deploy your code without manual intervention.
2. Pull Requests:
Pull requests allow you to collaborate on changes with other developers before merging them into the main codebase. By triggering workflows on pull requests, you can automate testing and code quality checks to ensure that changes are consistent and error-free before merging.
3. Schedules:
Scheduled workflows run at predetermined times or intervals, independent of code changes or pull requests. This is useful for tasks that need to be executed periodically, such as data backups, system maintenance, or automated deployments.
4. Manual Triggering:
For workflows that require manual execution, you can use the "Workflow Dispatch" event. This allows you to trigger a workflow manually from the Actions tab in your repository, providing flexibility for specific tasks or testing scenarios.
5. Repository Webhooks:
Repository webhooks can be used to trigger workflows from external events, such as changes in other repositories or notifications from third-party services. This allows for interoperability and integration with other tools in your development environment.
When a code change is pushed to a repository the github action workflow is triggered :

Once the build completes the docker image is pushed to your dockerhub account.

## Conclusion.
This comprehensive guide demonstrates the important role that Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) plays in accelerating data analytics. By adopting CI/CD practices, teams can streamline their development, testing, and deployment processes, foster collaboration, reduce errors, and accelerate the delivery of high-quality data analytics solutions

1,689,770 | Non-Discoverable Credentials in Passkey Autofill (Conditional UI) | Introduction Due to the fast adoption of passkeys & WebAuthn, the concept of... | 0 | 2023-12-06T13:49:21 | https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-multiple-non-resident-keys-challenges-solutions | cybersecurity, ux, passkeys, authentication | ## Introduction
Due to the fast adoption of passkeys & WebAuthn, the concept of non-resident keys has been increasingly discussed. Understanding the challenges and solutions associated with non-resident keys is crucial for software developers and product managers to provide user-friendly authentication systems. Especially when it comes to the combination with Conditional UI in passkey scenarios with Conditional UI. Then, it’s essential to understand which WebAuthn server settings should be in place.
## Understanding Non-Discoverable Credentials
Non-resident keys, also known as non-discoverable credentials, are cryptographic keys that are not stored on the authenticator device. Instead, they rely on a generated key pair linked to the user’s account on the server side. This approach ensures that the key is temporarily stored in the authenticator’s protected memory, earning it the nickname “ephemeral key.” The reliance on non-resident keys, especially in multi-device scenarios, can complicate the authentication process, potentially degrading the user experience if not properly managed.
## The WebAuthn Server Configuration Dilemma
The configuration of the WebAuthn server plays a critical role in managing non-resident keys effectively. Two primary scenarios emerge based on how the server handles the allowCredentials parameter: providing specific credential IDs for authentication or leaving the array empty for a more flexible authentication approach. Each method has its implications for user experience.
## Challenges with Conditional UI and Non-Resident Keys
The adoption of Conditional UI, which aims to streamline the authentication process by autofilling or eliminating the need for usernames, introduces additional complexity. This feature is particularly problematic for non-resident keys, as they require explicit credential IDs for authentication, contrasting with the seamless experience desired with Conditional UI. Balancing the needs for security and user convenience becomes a delicate act, necessitating a nuanced approach to server configuration and authentication flows.
## Recommendations for WebAuthn Server Implementation
For developers aiming to accommodate both Conditional UI and non-resident keys, a few strategies are recommended. Distinguishing between Conditional UI logins and regular WebAuthn login attempts is crucial. This differentiation allows the server to appropriately manage the allowCredentials parameter, ensuring a smooth authentication process regardless of the key type. Providing all relevant credential IDs for users with non-resident keys while allowing flexibility for Conditional UI scenarios ensures both security and user satisfaction.
## Conclusion: Striking the Right Balance
The successful integration of WebAuthn and the management of non-resident keys require careful consideration of both technical and user experience factors. By adhering to best practices for WebAuthn server configuration and understanding the intricacies of non-resident keys and Conditional UI, developers can create secure, user-friendly authentication systems. While this summary provides an overview, delving into the detailed recommendations and insights available on our [full blog](https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-multiple-non-resident-keys-challenges-solutions) offers a deeper understanding crucial for effective implementation. | vdelitz |

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As
Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting. Maybe resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie.And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with Watch The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry.Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.

Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes Fullmovie Online For Free on Disney Plus?
Unfortunately, Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is not currently available to stream on Disney Plus and it's not expected that the film will release on Disney Plus until late December at the absolute earliest.
While Disney eventually releases its various studios' films on Disney Plus for subscribers to watch via its streaming platform, most major releases don't arrive on Disney Plus until at least 45-60 days after the film's theatrical release.
Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has finally ended the box office blues. It will be a close call, but based on the estimates, the year's biggest opener remains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with its $187 million start. Nonetheless, Wakanda Forever's $180 million opening is a huge one, being the biggest ever for the month of November (beating the $158 million of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), the second biggest of the year, and the 13th biggest of all time (though it could go up or down a few slots once the actuals come out). It led an overall weekend box office of $208 million, which is the fourth biggest of the year and the biggest by a long shot of the past four months, with no other weekend since July 8 -10 even going above $133 million.
This isn't the $202 million opening that we saw from Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes in February 2018, nor should we expect the amazing legs that were able to get that film to an astonishing $700 million. With that said, expect it to perform strong throughout the holiday season, likely repeating the five-weekend number-one streak that the first film had, and it shouldn't have any trouble becoming the second highest grossing film of the year so far, beating the $411 million cume of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The audience response is strong, with the A CinemaScore falling below the first film's A+ but bouncing back from the B+'s earned by Doctor Strange 2 and Thor: Love and Thunder, which ranked among the worst for the MCU. improvement over the recent franchise installations,with the aforementioned films coming in at 74% and 64% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes, both at the lower end for Marvel films, while Wakanda Forever's 84% is closer to franchise norms, though not meeting the high bar set by the first Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes's 96%.
The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film,but the positive reception suggests that Wakanda Forever will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively).
As for the rest of the box office, there's little to get excited about, with nothing else grossing above $10 million as Hollywood shied away from releasing anything significant not just this weekend but also over the previous two weekends. When Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes opened in 2018, there was no counterprogramming that opened the same weekend, but Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades Freed were in their second weekends and took second and third with $17.5 million and $17.3 million respectively. That weekend had an overall cume of $287 million compared to $208 million this weekend Take away the $22 million gap between the two Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes films and there's still a $57 million gap between the two weekends. The difference may not feel that large when a mega blockbuster is propping up the grosses,but the contrast is harsher when the mid-level films are the entire box office as we saw in recent months.
Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post summer, pre-Wakanda Forever season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Thor: Love and Thunder, though Wakanda Forever will overtake it any day now.
Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact )
, which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's close to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open.
Finishing up the top five is Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend. Of course, that's no reason to frown for the horror film, which has a domestic cume of $103 million and global cume of $ 210 million from a budget of just $20 million
The one new specialty title of note comes from a filmmaker we don't typically associate with the specialty box office: Steven Spielberg. The Beard's semi-autobiographical family drama Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes opened in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles to $160k, a $40k average. The film expands to 600 theaters the day before The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and it has the potential to break out in a way that none of the other of the season's awards contenders have. We're also seeing very solid numbers from Watch ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which grossed $1.7 million this weekend for a seventh place finish, bringing its cume to $5.8 Looking for a way to watch The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes online for free?

Hi developers, in this tutorial, we will go through how to created protected routes in ReactJs. For this, I have create Node+Express+MongoDB server for user login/registration. You can use any other backend stack like PHP/Python or any other. For frontend state management I have used Zustand, you can choose any other library you prefer.
## Requirements
You should have basic understanding of ReactJS.
## Project Setup
npm create vite@latest
after above command, you will see wizard, choose react and javascript
For CSS and styling, I have used tailwindcss. I assume you know how to include tailwindcss in react projects. If not, please follow instruction on tailwindcss site.

Today, online stores are becoming increasingly competitive, and one of the key aspects of their success is the attractive presentation of products in front of potential customers. However, creating high-quality descriptions for a wide range of products can be a labor-intensive process that requires significant time and financial resources.
Approaches to creating product descriptions for online stores have traditionally required the involvement of copywriters or content specialists, which is time and effort intensive. However, with the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a new perspective is opening up: the ability to automate this process using image recognition tools.
Artificial intelligence is showing potential in creating product descriptions based on analyzing and recognizing information in images. This can simplify and speed up the process by providing quality descriptions for every product in a store's catalog.
In this article, we will explore the role of artificial intelligence in automating the process of creating descriptions for products in online stores. We will explore the technology, steps and benefits of using AI to create quality content that will attract attention and meet the needs of potential buyers.
## Problems in creating product descriptions
The traditional approach to creating product descriptions for online stores often faces several significant challenges. One of them is the labor-intensive process: the variety of products requires unique and attractive descriptions, which takes a lot of time of copywriters or content specialists.
In addition, keeping product descriptions up-to-date and updated becomes a significant challenge when the product range expands. This requires not only a lot of effort, but also the financial cost of maintaining specialized staff or outsourcing services.
These challenges significantly slow down the process of updating and improving in-store content, which can ultimately impact competitiveness and sales performance.
This is where artificial intelligence comes into play, offering a revolutionary solution to these problems.
## The role of artificial intelligence in creating descriptions
Artificial intelligence is becoming a key player in the process of creating product descriptions in online stores. Computer vision technologies and machine learning algorithms allow AI to analyze product images, highlight key features and automatically generate a text description based on this analysis.
This revolutionary application of artificial intelligence opens up new perspectives for stores, significantly reducing the time it takes to create descriptions while still providing quality content for every product in a catalog.
AI algorithms can process multiple images simultaneously, taking into account different details and product characteristics, making the process of creating descriptions more accurate and efficient than traditional methods.
Artificial intelligence not only greatly simplifies the process of content creation, but also improves its quality through big data analysis and the use of specialized algorithms, providing more relevant and attractive descriptions for potential buyers.

1,691,565 | MySQL vs PostgreSQL: Which one is better? | Businesses around the world need databases that can help them manage data. To help these and many... | 0 | 2023-12-11T02:29:00 | https://dev.to/shariqahmed525/mysql-vs-postgresql-which-one-is-better-2l4g | mysql, postgres, postgressql, relationaldatabase |

Businesses around the world need databases that can help them manage data. To help these and many other businesses, two databases named PostgreSQL and MySQL were released in June 1989 and May 1995, respectively. Now, both of these databases are relational database management systems meaning they have data stored in row-based table structures. But there are many differences between both.
The first point is that MySQL is used mostly for read-only commands. It's not used when there's a need for concurrency. PostgreSQL, on the other hand, is used in read-write operations. It's also used in big data sets and complex queries. ACID compliance is fully supported in PostgreSQL, whereas in MySQL, some engines don't support ACID. MySQL is cross-platform, whereas PostgreSQL is best used for UNIX-based systems.
Foreign keys are also supported in PostgreSQL but not fully supported in MySQL. Stored procedures, triggers, and even views are fully supported in MySQL, whereas PostgreSQL has materialized views. The triggers in PostgreSQL are also flexible. There's multi-language support in PostgreSQL. SQL data types used in PostgreSQL are diverse and include arrays, hstore.
Now, when is it preferable to use PostgreSQL? Well, businesses that need applications where there's a requirement for write operations and complex queries. However, since the infrastructure of PostgreSQL is complex, newcomers may face difficulty working with it. But the best thing about PostgreSQL is that it has a large community. It also has better performance for write operations with high frequency. But again, since it has fewer tools, it might be challenging for newcomers to get started.
Contrarily, MySQL is best to use when you want to create apps that have few users or apps that don't require frequent data updates and have more read operations. It also works with. Beginners won't have a difficult time building a database using MySQL. This database also performs better in read operations with high frequency. | shariqahmed525 |
1,691,626 | How to make your ideas stick | Effective proposal writing techniques for engineering leaders As an engineering leader,... | 0 | 2023-12-08T16:00:00 | https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fleaddev.com%2Fpersonal-development%2Fhow-engineering-leaders-can-write-better-proposals | leadership, writing, career, learning |
### Effective proposal writing techniques for engineering leaders
----------
As an engineering leader, you’ve likely faced the challenge of writing proposals for ideas you’re passionate about, whether it’s drafting design docs, request for comments (RFCs), memos, or even slide decks. The format might change depending on context, but the fundamental challenge remains: how do we make our ideas resonate?
Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed numerous promising ideas fall by the wayside or need a lot of back and forth due to a lack of clear articulation. The culprit? Often, a missing ingredient from the six crucial elements of a persuasive proposal.
Knowing how to craft proposals that communicate and inspire action will ensure that your next proposal isn’t just read, but acted upon.
### 1. Establish context
At the heart of a compelling proposal lies the establishment of mutual understanding. Begin by elucidating the “why.” Resist the urge to dive straight into the solution.
For instance, if you’re proposing a shift in system architecture, listing the current system’s flaws might seem intuitive. However, the real starting point should be “Why now?” What future changes do you foresee that necessitate this shift? Relate your proposal to your organization’s KPIs, OKRs, or overarching strategy.
Drawing inspiration from Stephen Covey’s _The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People_, it’s paramount to prioritize understanding before seeking to be understood. By ensuring your proposal resonates with your audience’s concerns, you pave the way for consensus.
#### Example of establishing context in a proposal:
> _With the rapid growth of our user base and the increasing complexity of our application, our existing architecture is becoming a bottleneck. Recent post-mortem analyses of outages have pointed to scalability and tight coupling issues._
> _Our company’s OKRs aim for a 20% increase in user engagement and a 30% growth in active users over the next year. To achieve this, we need an architecture that is resilient, scalable, and can be iterated upon quickly._
### 2. Identify the problem
Once mutual understanding is established, it’s imperative to identify the core issue or opportunity your proposal targets.
Begin by articulating the current state, grounding your discussion with metrics and data. Subsequently, spotlight the primary areas of concern with the existing situation and, based on this, formulate your hypothesis.
Overall, you should seek to emphasize the gravity and ramifications of the problem, positioning yourself as the authority spotlighting an urgent issue.
#### Example of identifying the problem in a proposal:
> **_Current state:_**
> _Our monolithic application has been the backbone of our services for the past five years. During this time, we’ve seen:_
> **_User growth_**_: A 300% increase in active users._
> **_Feature expansion_**_: The introduction of 50+ new features, increasing the complexity of our codebase._
> **_Deployment frequency_**_: An average of one thousand deployments per month, with each deployment introducing an average of three new features or improvements._
> _While this growth and activity indicate a thriving product, they’ve also introduced challenges:_
> _1._ **_Latency concern_**_s: Our API response times have gradually increased over the past year. During high-traffic periods, we’ve observed a 30% increase in API response times compared to the previous year, impacting user experience._
> _2._ **_Tight coupling_**_: The intertwined nature of our services has become more evident. 20% of new feature releases in the past six months have resulted in regressions in unrelated areas, indicating a lack of modularity and separation of concerns._
> _3._ **_Deploy time_**_: The complexity of our application has affected our deployment times. Each deployment now takes an average of one hour, a 25% increase from the previous year. This affects our ability to swiftly deliver value to our users and_ [_maintain a reasonable MTTR_](https://leaddev.com/tech/solving-mean-time-repair-problem)_._
> **_Hypothesis_**_:_ [_By migrating to a microservices architecture_](https://leaddev.com/tech/when-migrate-monolithic-distributed-frontend-architecture)_, we can achieve faster deployment cycles, better scalability, and independent service evolutions, leading to improved uptime and stable user experience._
### 3. Present options
When proposing solutions, it’s vital to consider various options. As Chip Heath and Dan Heath advise in _Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work_, follow the W.R.A.P process: widen your options, reality-test your assumptions, attain distance before deciding, and prepare to be wrong.
The W.R.A.P process will help you avoid [common pitfalls in decision-making](https://hbr.org/1998/09/the-hidden-traps-in-decision-making-2), such as [the framing trap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_effect_%28psychology%29), confirming-evidence trap, overconfidence trap, and forecasting trap.
This also builds credibility as an honest analysis rather than a biased proposal. This stage is about demonstrating your critical thinking skills.
#### Example of presenting options in a proposal:
> **_Option 1_**_: Incremental refactoring_
> _Pros: Lower immediate risk, can be done during regular sprints._
> _Cons: Longer overall transition period, potential for accumulating tech debt._
> **_Option 2_**_: Big bang rewrite_
> _Pros: Clean slate, can design with best practices from the start._
> _Cons: High risk, requires significant resources, longer time to see benefits._
> **_Option 3_**_: Hybrid approach (starting with core services and expand outwards)_
> _Pros: Balances risk and allows for learning and iteration._
> _Cons: Requires careful planning and coordination._
### 4. Create a roadmap
With a recommended solution, it’s time to detail the implementation. Envision your proposal as a meticulously planned sequence.
Create a timeline detailing the steps, assign responsibilities, and set expectations for each stage.
Like a conductor leading an orchestra, your proposal should coordinate a unified effort toward the intended result.
#### Example of outlining a roadmap in a proposal:
> **_Phase 1_**_: Identify and isolate core services._
> _Duration: 1 month_
> _Responsible: Architecture guild_
> **_Phase 2_**_: Develop the first set of microservices and integrate them with the existing system._
> _Duration: 3 months_
> _Responsible: Teams A and B_
> **_Phase 3_**_: Gradual rollout to a subset of users and gather feedback._
> _Duration: 1 month_
> _Responsible: QA team, DevOps, and user feedback group_
> **_Phase 4_**_: Full transition and decommissioning of old components._
> _Duration: 2 months_
> _Responsible: All engineering teams_
### 5. Highlight risks
Analyze potential risks and challenges associated with the proposal, as well as the likelihood and impact of those risks. Provide strategies or plans to mitigate these risks, showing preparedness and foresight.
#### Examples of highlighting risk in a proposal:
> **_Risk_**_: Integration challenges with existing systems_
> **_Likelihood_**_: High_
> **_Impact_**_: Moderate_
> **_Mitigation_**_: Begin with a pilot project focusing on one or two core services to understand integration pain points. Use this pilot to develop best practices for subsequent integrations._
> **_Risk_**_: Potential downtime during transition_
> **_Likelihood_**_: Medium_
> **_Impact_**_: High_
> **_Mitigation_**_: Schedule migrations during off-peak hours and ensure rollback strategies are in place. Communicate potential downtimes to stakeholders well in advance._
> **_Risk_**_: Team’s learning curve with new architecture_
> **_Likelihood_**_: High_
> **_Impact_**_: Medium_
> **_Mitigation_**_: Invest in training sessions and workshops focused on microservices best practices. Pair experienced team members with those less familiar during the initial phases._
> **_Risk_**_: Increased initial costs_
> **_Likelihood_**_: Medium_
> **_Impact_**_: Medium_
> **_Mitigation_**_: While there might be an upfront cost due to the transition, the long-term benefits in terms of scalability, maintainability, and faster deployment cycles are expected to offset these initial expenses. Regular cost-benefit analyses will be conducted to ensure we remain on track._
> **_Risk_**_: Complexity in monitoring and logging across services_
> **_Likelihood_**_: Low_
> **_Impact_**_: High_
> **_Mitigation_**_: Adopt centralized logging and monitoring solutions that provide a holistic view of the entire system. This will aid in quicker issue detection and resolution._
### 6. Prompt action
Summarize the proposal’s main points and clearly state what you’re asking stakeholders to do next, whether it’s providing feedback, giving approval, or allocating resources.
Include any additional information, data, charts, or references that support the proposal but might be too detailed for the main body. This provides a deeper dive for those interested.
#### Example concluding aspect of a proposal:
> _In light of the challenges posed by our current monolithic architecture and the company’s ambitious growth targets, transitioning to a microservices approach emerges as a strategic imperative. The hybrid approach, which combines the strengths of incremental refactoring and a more comprehensive rewrite, offers a balanced and pragmatic path forward._
> _We’ve identified potential risks associated with this transition and have proposed robust mitigation strategies to address them. The success of this initiative, however, hinges on a collaborative effort,_ [_cross-functional alignment_](https://leaddev.com/team/five-tips-help-lead-large-cross-functional-collaborations)_, and shared commitment._
> Next Steps:
> _Feedback round: We invite stakeholders to review this proposal and provide feedback by [specific date]._
> _Pilot execution: Post feedback; if there are no strong objections or concerns, we will commence the pilot project._
> _We’re at a pivotal juncture, and the decisions we make now will shape our product and capabilities for years to come. Let’s collaborate, innovate, and steer our organization towards a future-ready architecture._
### Final thoughts
In conclusion, crafting a persuasive proposal goes beyond organizing information in a digestible pyramid structure. It’s about weaving a narrative that resonates with the organization’s core objectives, prospecting a path forward, anticipating risks, and compelling stakeholders to take action.
When writing your next proposal, see it as more than a document. It’s a powerful call to action, a catalyst for change, and a testament to your leadership acumen. The quality of your proposals can shape the trajectory of your projects, teams, and, in the grander scheme, your evolution as an engineering leader.

1,691,732 | Get started with Cerbos Hub | Managing permissions and authorization for SaaS applications is a critical challenge that developers,... | 25,789 | 2023-12-08T07:12:27 | https://cerbos.dev/blog/get-started-with-cerbos-hub | webdev, opensource, productivity, tutorial | Managing permissions and authorization for SaaS applications is a critical challenge that developers, security, and product teams face. And we’re not exaggerating it, the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) has named authorization a [top 10 API security risk](https://owasp.org/API-Security/editions/2023/en/0x11-t10/) multiple years in a row.
Everyone at Cerbos strives to make solving permissions and authZ challenges as smooth as possible for software development teams. In software development, setting up access rules, known as authorization policies, is crucial for security and proper functioning. However, making and updating these rules can often be tricky and take a lot of time, especially in large or complex projects.
## Cerbos PDP vs Hub
You may already know of our open source solution - [Cerbos Policy Decision Point (PDP)](https://github.com/cerbos/cerbos); a devtool which helps developers enforce access control over different parts of their software. If you need to learn more about Cerbos in general, we strongly recommend checking out the [website](https://cerbos.dev/product-cerbos-pdp) and the [docs](https://docs.cerbos.dev/).
{% twitter 1721543746200711272 %}
While Cerbos PDP enables you to make decisions against your access control policies, Cerbos Hub helps you manage and synchronize PDP instances across all your apps and services, increasing security through consistency in policies everywhere, and saving you hours of time.
Cerbos Hub also helps you collaborate, validate, and test policies in real-time in an IDE environment and quickly adapt to changing app requirements.
Cerbos Hub can deploy authorization within browsers, serverless architectures, embedded devices, and at the edge. This is especially helpful for teams that need to frequently adjust their rules or manage a large number of them.
By using Cerbos Hub, developers can focus on building and improving their software, rather than spending too much time updating access management.
So far, so good? Great!
Now, let me walk you through the process of getting started with [Cerbos Hub](https://hub.cerbos.cloud).
## Setting up Cerbos Hub
Go to https://hub.cerbos.cloud/ and you will land on a page looking like the one from the screenshot below.

Click on the `Log in or sign up` button on the left-hand side. That will lead you to the login/signup page. Choose to sign in with your Google or GitHub ID, or create a new ID with your email address.

Next you’ll see the set-up wizard appear with instructions on how to set up your workspace. Take your time and read the instructions there, before clicking the `Connect my policy repository` button.

If you already use Cerbos PDP, you’ve most likely created a policy repository. You’ll need to grant Cerbos Hub access to your GitHub profile/organization by navigating to your GitHub account. Then click the ‘Refresh list’, and your repository will appear listed in the dropdown.

If you don’t have a ready policy repository, you can get started with one of our templates, which is linked in the prompt right below the GitHub access prompt. The example repository contains all the necessary features to let you experiment with Cerbos Hub and get you up to speed with its capabilities.
When you’ve successfully selected the policy repository you want to use in your workspace, click ‘Continue’ and move on to the final step of your workspace setup. Make sure to set a proper name for your workspace, and define the branch from which you want the Hub to read your `.cerbos-hub.yaml` file. And if the repository you’re connecting is a full-fledged project, make sure to define a path to the directory that holds your Cerbos policies.

With that, your workspace is set, and you’ll be provided with a secret key. Make sure to safely store it before closing the dialog box.

Now that everything is set, you’re ready to access your Cerbos Hub.
Your Hub homepage will look something like this:

On the left-hand side, you’ll see a sidebar menu, and the majority of your screen will be filled with whatever item on that sidebar is selected. Right now you’re looking at the screenshot for the ‘Home’ page of this demo workspace.
## Managing The Hub
Right after successfully connecting, the Hub will try to run builds against the configuration found in your repository.

My build seems to be failing at the compilation level. Let me check the commit to find out more about what is going wrong.

It seems when connecting the repository, we didn’t set the correct path for where our policies are stored. If you make a similar mistake, you’ll want to correct it right away. So let’s fix that real quick.
Select the Settings option of the sidebar, type the correct policy directory, and click the `Update` button.

This change will trigger an automatic rebuild, so quickly go back to the Builds page, and check what happened.

Everything seems to be working just fine; the build is generated, and all of the labels and options provided in configuration are recognized. Now whenever we update our connected policy repository, those changes will be recognized and the builds for each of the changes will run automatically.
What we showed here is how easily you can connect your policy repositories with the Cerbos Hub, and how to troubleshoot on the fly.
## Connect the PDP to the Hub
Now let’s deploy the Cerbos PDP instance that will be connected to the Cerbos Hub.
Navigate to the `Decision points` page in the sidebar. This page keeps all the important information regarding your deployed PDPs, as well as the tools to deploy more of them.
Considering you’ve just created your Hub a couple of minutes ago, this should be a fairly empty page, looking similar to the screenshot below.

Click on the `Deploy a decision point` button, and you’ll see a modal with several options, each containing its own set of instructions.

Being a Mac person, for this piece I chose to select Homebrew. Whatever you choose, take some time to read and understand the provided steps.

Upon selecting your preferred deployment method, you’ll be able to select what deployment label you’d like to link it to. Our demo came with `latest`, `main` and `production` labels included in the `.cerbos-hub.yaml` file, so I’ll deploy an instance linked to `latest`.

That means every single time I make a change to a policy repository having the label `latest`, Hub will automatically notify the PDP, resulting in a seamless real-time delivery, with no service redeployments or downtime whatsoever.
For more PDP configuration details, make sure to read the [full configuration reference](https://docs.cerbos.dev/cerbos/latest/configuration/index.html).
Given I already have Cerbos installed, the `brew tap cerbos/tap` along with the `brew install cerbos` step would be redundant, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check.

Pay special attention to the contents of the `conf.yaml` file. For the sake of getting started, in the desired directory create a config.yaml file, then click on the copy icon at the top right of the `config.yaml` snippet on the instructions modal and paste it to the created file, then save it.

Upon creating the workspace, you were asked to save the private key provided to you. You will use that key now to replace the value of the `workspaceSecret` field of the credentials part of your `config.yaml` file.

For the `clientID` and the `clientSecret` fields, navigate to the `Settings` page in your left sidebar, and click the `Generate a client credential` button in the right lower corner.

You’ll then be prompted to name the credential. After you do, click `Create client credential`.

Make sure to copy the Client ID, and paste it as the values of the `clientID` and `clientSecret` fields of your `config.yaml` file. Upon finishing, you’ll now have it listed on the Settings page, right beneath the Policy Repository details.


Now that you’ve replaced the credentials fields with the values relevant to your workspace, and (if you’re also doing it via Homebrew) simply run the `cerbos server –config=./conf.yaml` command in the terminal, positioned in the directory where you created the `conf.yaml` file.
Your PDP instance(s) should now appear on the `Decision points` page.

That’s it! Your policy repository is now connected to the Hub, as well as the PDP instance(s) we just deployed. You can deploy as many of them as you wish. Cerbos is stateless so you can scale as you need, without worrying about instances being out of sync or losing performance on heavy load periods.
## To Conclude
Cerbos Hub helps developers focus on building and improving their software, rather than spending too much time on upgrading access management. It helps connect your Cerbos policy repository and your Cerbos PDP instances and manage them collaboratively and smoothly from a single place.
This piece was an intro to Cerbos Hub, showing all the basic steps needed to get it up and running. In upcoming posts we will show you more complex and detailed cases to help you navigate through the Hub with ease.
If you’ve been following this tutorial step-by-step, your policy repo and PDP should be connected to the Hub by now. Let us know how it went in our [Cerbos Slack Community](https://go.cerbos.io/slack). If you stumbled upon any challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll be happy to help!

Organization. Do you recall the last time you made a list? What about the last time you had to take notes on something? When was the last time you had to make notes from which you could study? Perhaps you're taking notes now. What is the format of these notes? For the longest time, I took notes like the vast majority of people. I had a notebook, and within it I organized my thoughts line by line, a veritable, verticle column of thoughts with a wonderful array of Headers and footers, bulletpoints and indentations, commas and colons to try my best to denote difference, characterize and categorize in order to order my thoughts.
And then, perhaps a year ago and for the first time in my life, I was thrust abruptly into a situation in which it was truly important I learn and memorize something thoroughly and quickly. Something so intensely complex that a lifetime, nay many lifetimes could be spent in the adept and rigorous study of its facets: Magic The Gathering.

In a panic, but determined to beat my brother and his fiance at their own game, I grabbed a pen and paper and with as much dexterity as I could muster, I scrambled down notes of what my companions were telling me of the rules of the game. Quickly, out of necessity, ordered list turned into paragraph here, to note there, to line pointing here or there. Concepts left the great verticle column of order that had defined notation for a lifetime, wandering into a web of connected thoughts, distinct across the page in space but connected by branching paths. It wasn't a list of information anymore. It was a map. Complete with doodles and everything. And while it at first seemed a mess, quickly I came to realize how much more beneficial to me it was to have my concepts, the components of my thoughts, in distinct places, with connective throughlines to work with. What I had accidentally created was a mind map.

A mind map is simply a means of organizing information into a hierarchy. It typically relies on concepts visually branching from one another, connecting on ways that denote that they are related, as well as their order of importance. As I continue further into my journey of learning to code, I have found that there are many visual learners like myself who benefit from the use of mind maps, and struggled with finding information and intuiting the relationship between elements of code in vanilla javascript, html, and css. Nesting often simply just doesn't cut it as far as visually denoting the relationships between functions, objects and the like:
```
function raceDetails(raceInQuestion) {
// const proficienciesArray = []
// const bookProfs =document.createElement("P")
// const rightPage = document.querySelector("#right-page")
// rightPage.innerhtml = ""

I don't know about you, but this is very difficult for me to follow. That is why I prefer the use of React.js Component Trees.

Looking at this image, we can see that instead of having all of our javascript bunched together in a single file, with React we are able to take the individual elements that compose our javascript and separate them out into distinct files known as components that are listed to the left.
We are then able to link these distinct components of our code through the use of imports and exports. Virtually all of our components are given the ability to export their information, typically through the use of a bit of code tapped out at the bottom of the page, such as in our component BlogCard from the top of our components list in the picture above:
```
import React from "react";
function BlogCard({blogs}) {
return (
<li className="card">
<div>{blogs.title}</div>
<div>{blogs.author}</div>
<div>{blogs.date}</div>
<div>{blogs.video}</div>
<div>{blogs.divider}</div>
</li>
);
}
export default BlogCard;
```
Here, we are exporting the function BlogCard, which means that if it is imported, or **called** by another component, that component now has access to the results of that function. Here, the function BlogCard returns a list of values from an array in our dbjson. However, were we to import this function into BlogList, like so:
```
import React from "react";
import BlogCard from "./BlogCard";
import PostCard from "./PostCard";
function BlogList({blogs,posts}){
const mappedPosts = posts.map((posts)=>{
return <PostCard key={posts.id} posts={posts} />
})
const mappedBlogs = blogs.map((blogs)=>{
return <BlogCard key={blogs.id} blogs={blogs} />
})
return (
<ul className="cards">
{mappedPosts}
{mappedBlogs}
</ul>
);
}
export default BlogList;
```
We can now use that array of values from BlogCard with the function present in BlogList. Here, BlogList is being used to map through the entirety of the "blogs" portion of our backend to return an array of BlogCard return functions, one for each object in our blogs array.
We can think of this relationship like a branch on our mind map, in which a function that is imported into another function is a further part on the branch of the diagram. We can also see here that BlogList imports another function, PostCard, and returns the same thing with that function as BlogCard. We can think of this relationship visually as BlogCard and PostCard being two forks off the main branch, BlogList. For visual learners like me, being able to use this simple import/export system to create a mind map of my code has been extremely helpful and allowed me to create things that would be far too complicated for me with vanilla Javascript:

1,692,512 | APP: EKS-2048 | You tube video link reference: https://youtu.be/wyad99QMKtc Create an EKS cluster and... | 0 | 2023-12-09T02:55:44 | https://dev.to/venkyy8/app-eks-2048-2l6k |
You tube video link reference: https://youtu.be/wyad99QMKtc
Create an EKS cluster and deploy 2048 game into that cluster
==================================================
_Task 1: Create an EKS cluster_
=============================
Name: <yourname>-eks-cluster-1
Use K8S version 1.25
Create an IAM role 'eks-cluster-role' with 1 policy attached: AmazonEKSClusterPolicy
Create another IAM role 'eks-node-grp-role' with 3 policies attached:
(Allows EC2 instances to call AWS services on your behalf.)
- AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
- AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly
- AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
Choose default VPC, Choose 2 or 3 subnets
Choose a security group which open the ports 22, 80, 8080
cluster endpoint access: public
# For VPC CNI, CoreDNS and kube-proxy, choose the default versions, For CNI, latest and default are
# different. But go with default.
Click 'Create'. This process will take 10-12 minutes. Wait till your cluster shows up as Active.
Task 2: Add Node Groups to our cluster
======================================
Now, lets add the worker nodes where the pods can run
Open the cluster > Compute > Add NodeGrp
Name: <yourname>-eks-nodegrp-1
Select the role you already created
Leave default values for everything else
AMI - choose the default 1 (Amazon Linux 2)
change desired/minimum/maximum to 1 (from 2)
Enable SSH access. Choose a security group which allwos 22, 80, 8080
Choose default values for other fields
Node group creation may take 2-3 minutes
Task 3: Authenticate to this cluster
===================================
Reference:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-kubeconfig.html
Open cloudshell
# Type on your AWS CLI window
aws sts get-caller-identity
# observe your account and user id details
# Create a kubeconfig file where it stores the credentials for EKS:
# kubeconfig configuration allows you to connect to your cluster using the kubectl command line.
aws eks update-kubeconfig --region region-code --name my-cluster
ex: aws eks update-kubeconfig --region us-east-1 --name unus-eks-cluster-1 # Use the cluster name you just
created
# see if you can get the nodes you created
kubectl get nodes
# Install nano editor in cloudshell. We will need this in the next task
sudo yum install nano -y
Task 4: Create a new POD in EKS for the 2048 game
================================================
# clean up the files in cloudshell (Optional)
rm *.*
# create the config file in YAML to deploy 2048 game pod into the cluster
nano 2048-pod.yaml
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: 2048-pod
labels:
app: 2048-ws
spec:
containers:
- name: 2048-container
image: blackicebird/2048
ports:
- containerPort: 80
```
# apply the config file to create the pod
kubectl apply -f 2048-pod.yaml
#pod/2048-pod created
# view the newly created pod
kubectl get pods
Task 5: Setup Load Balancer Service
===================================
nano mygame-svc.yaml
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: mygame-svc
spec:
selector:
app: 2048-ws
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
type: LoadBalancer
```
# apply the config file
kubectl apply -f mygame-svc.yaml
# view details of the modified service
kubectl describe svc mygame-svc
# Access the LoadBalancer Ingress on the kops instance
curl <LoadBalancer_Ingress>:<Port_number>
or
curl a06aa56b81f5741268daca84dca6b4f8-694631959.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:80
(try this from your laptop, not from your cloudshell)
# Go to EC2 console. get the DNS name of ELB and paste the DNS into address bar of the browser
# It will show the 2048 game. You can play. (need to wait for 2-3 minutes for the
# setup to be complete)
Task 3: Cleanup
---------------
# Clean up all the resources created in the task
kubectl get pods
kubectl delete -f 2048-pod.yaml
kubectl get services
kubectl delete -f mygame-svc.yaml

Creating a command-line interface (CLI) application in Node.js and publishing it to npm (Node Package Manager) and Yarn can be a rewarding way to share your tools with the world.
Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started.

---
## Support us! 🙏⭐️
By the way, I'm part of the WebCrumbs team, and it would mean a lot if you could check out our no-code solution for Node.js that simplifies web development. [Giving us a star](https://github.com/webcrumbs-community/webcrumbs) would be fantastic.
We're putting in a ton of effort to help devs take their ideas to a live website as quickly and easily as possible (think: effortless plugin and theme integration), and every bit of support is truly appreciated!
{% cta https://github.com/webcrumbs-community/webcrumbs %}⭐️ Give WebCrumbs a Star! ⭐️ {% endcta %}
Ok. Now, let's dive back into writing your own CLI.
---
## Step 1: Set Up Your Node.js Project
**Initialize a new Node.js project:** Create a new directory for your project and initialize it with `npm init`. This step will create a package.json file for your project.
**Install necessary packages:** Depending on the functionality of your CLI, you might need various packages. A popular one for CLI development is commander, which simplifies command-line interfaces.
```bash
npm install commander
```
**Write your CLI application:** Create a `index.js` file (or any entry file) and start scripting your CLI. Utilize the packages you've installed to handle command line arguments, execute functionality, etc.
---
## Step 2: Prepare Your CLI for Execution
**Add a shebang line:** At the top of your entry file (index.js), add the shebang line:
```javascript
#!/usr/bin/env node
```
This line tells the system that this script should be run with Node.
**Update package.json:** In your package.json, add a bin field that maps commands to files.
```json
"bin": {
"your-cli-command": "./index.js"
}
```
**Make your script executable:** Run `chmod +x index.js` to make your script executable.
---
## Step 3: Test Your CLI Locally
**Link your package:** Before publishing, you can test your CLI locally by running `npm link` in your project directory. This makes your CLI command available system-wide.
**Test the CLI:** Try running your CLI command in the terminal to ensure it works as expected.
---
## Step 4: Publish Your CLI to npm
**Create an npm account:** If you don’t have one, create an npm account at [npmjs.com](npmjs.com).
**Login to npm:** In your terminal, run `npm login` and enter your npm credentials.
**Publish your package:** Once logged in, publish your CLI with:
```bash
npm publish
```
**Verify:** Check your package on the npm website to ensure it's published.
---
## Step 5: Add Your Package to Yarn
**Yarn Integration:** Yarn uses the same package registry as npm, so once your package is on npm, it is automatically available for installation through Yarn.
---
## Step 6: Updating Your CLI
To update your CLI, make changes to your code, update the version in your package.json, and then run `npm publish` again.
## Step 7: Engage with the Community
**Open Source Contributions:** Since your project is on npm, you can host its source code on GitHub. Don't forget to add a README.md with usage and contribution guidelines.
**Feedback and Improvements:** Encourage users and developers to contribute and provide feedback to improve the CLI.
