Selenium is an opensource project so many people work together to bring up that project. It can automate a browser, the way we automate is in our hands.
For example, for a Facebook application to upload a profile picture everyday whenever we login and share it. This can be achieved by selenium automation, but we cannot use selenium outside the browser everything has to be done on browser itself.
It is functional for all browsers, works on all major OS and its scripts are written in various languages like Python, Java, C#, etc., Selenium is combination of tools and DSL (Domain Specific Language) in order to carry out various types of tests.
With Selenium Python, we can write robust test scripts to automate the testing of web applications, ensuring their functionality across different browsers and platforms.
The Selenium server runs tests on various browsers, it can Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, or Safari.
Developers and testers can even run tests in parallel on multiple combinations, helping them to ship quality builds at light speed.
The Selenium test scripts can be integrated with tools such as TestNG and JUnit for managing test cases and generating reports.
It can also be integrated with Maven, Jenkins, and Docker to achieve continuous testing.
**Advantages:**
1. Faster execution
2. More accurate
3. Lesser investment in human effort
4. Supports regression testing
5. Frequent execution
6. Supports Lights out Execution
**Versions of selenium:**
* Selenium 1: Selenium core with java script injection
* Selenium 2: selenium with web driver and RC
* Selenium 3: Selenium web driver and updated components
* Selenium 4: Selenium with W3c protocol, web drivers and
other updated components
_**Components of selenium **_
**WebDriver:**
On beginning with desktop website or mobile website test automation, then we are going to be using WebDriver APIs. WebDriver uses browser automation APIs provided by browser vendors to control the browser and run tests.
This is as if a real user is operating the browser. Since WebDriver does not require its API to be compiled with application code, it is not intrusive. Hence, testing the same application which we push live.
**IDE:**
IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the tool you use to develop your Selenium test cases. It’s an easy-to-use Chrome and Firefox extension and is generally the most efficient way to develop test cases.
It records the users’ actions in the browser for you, using existing Selenium commands, with parameters defined by the context of that element.
**RC:**
RC is the remote control in which the server has to run before starting the automation process, it has thrown many disadvantages to later it was deprecated in later versions of selenium.
**Grid:**
Selenium Grid allows us to run test cases in different machines across different platforms. The control of triggering the test cases is on the local end, and when the test cases are triggered, they are automatically executed by the remote end.
After the development of the WebDriver tests, we may face the need to run your tests on multiple browsers and operating system combinations.
This is where Grid comes into the picture. It is not always advantageous to automate test cases:
There are times when manual testing may be more appropriate. For instance, if the application’s user interface will change considerably in the near future, then any automation might need to be rewritten anyway.
Also, sometimes there simply is not enough time to build test automation. For the short term, manual testing may be more effective.
If an application has a very tight deadline, there is currently no test automation available, then manual testing is the best solution.
Functional testing is challenging to get right for many reasons. As if application state, complexity, and dependencies do not make testing difficult enough, dealing with browsers makes writing good tests a challenge.
Selenium provides tools to make functional user interaction easier but does not help us write well-architected test suites.
Functional end-user tests such as Selenium tests are expensive to run, however. Further, they typically require substantial infrastructure to be in place to be run effectively.
A distinct advantage of Selenium tests is their inherent ability to test all components of the application, from backend to frontend.
Those tests can be expensive to run. To what extent depends on the browser you are running the tests against, but historically browsers’ behavior has varied so much that it has often been a stated goal to cross-test against multiple browsers.
It allows us to run the same instructions against multiple browsers on multiple operating systems, but the enumeration of all the possible browsers, their different versions, and the many operating systems they run on will quickly become a non-trivial undertaking.

**Introduction**
Upgrading your Amazon EKS cluster version is necessary for security, performance optimization, new features, and long-term support. Nowadays, Amazon EKS introduces extended support plan for Kubernetes version that will cost you remarkably. The upgrade is never a easy game and can feel like a business continuity nightmare. Some may feel tempted to postpone the inevitable. In this blog, we will walk you through our upgrade process using the Blue/Green deployment strategy.
We’ll demonstrate this on an EKS cluster with EC2 instances as worker nodes. This strategy can be also applied the same for Fargate, and we'll leverage the popular AWS Retail Store sample application to demonstrate the steps. For the code, head over to the [AWS repository](https://github.com/aws-containers/retail-store-sample-app). By the end of this blog, you'll have a clear understanding of what an EKS upgrade entails and how to navigate it with confidence.
**In-Place vs. Blue/Green upgrade strategies**
Upgrading a cluster can be a balance between cost and risk. There are two common strategies that be widely used: in-place and blue/green upgrades.
- **In-Place Upgrades:** Simpler and more cost-effective. This strategy will modify your existing cluster directly. While this minimizes resource usage, it carries the risk of downtime and limits upgrades to single versions at a time. Additionally, rolling back requires extra steps.
- **Blue/Green Upgrades:** This strategy prioritizes zero downtime by creating a brand new, upgraded cluster (the "green" environment) alongside the existing one (the "blue" environment). Here, you can migrate workloads individually, enabling upgrades across multiple versions. However, blue/green deployment requires managing two clusters simultaneously, which can be costly and strain regional resource capacity. Additionally, API endpoints and authentication methods change, requiring updates to tools like kubectl and CI/CD pipelines.
In-place upgrade method is ideal for cost-sensitive scenarios where downtime is less critical or where the two versions don’t have breaking changes. For situations demanding high availability or the ability to jump multiple versions, the blue/green strategy provides a safer solution but is also more resource-intensive and costly. Thoroughly consider your specific needs, resource constraints, and infra cost to determine the best suitable upgrade method for your cluster.
**Upgrade cluster process**
**1. Prerequisite**
- **Explore your cluster**: Before diving into your cluster upgrade, system inventory is a mandatory step in order to have insight of what is running in your cluster. Note down your cluster version, add-on versions, and the number of services and applications running. This intel helps you choose the right upgrade strategy, identify potential compatibility issues, and plan a smooth migration for all your workloads. It's like gathering intel before a mission - the more you know, the smoother the upgrade!
<center>The current cluster’s version is 1.24 and it running on extended support</center>
<center>Currently 04 adds-on are running.</center>
<center>The cluster is using EC2 instances as worker nodes </center>
<center> Karpenter adds-on for node autoscaling.</center>
<center> Around 12 services found </center>
<center> The application UI </center>
- **Assess the impact of new version upgrade**: Thoroughly review the release notes for the EKS and Kubernetes versions you want to upgrade to in order to fully grasp important information such as breaking changes and deprecated APIs. For instance, if I want to upgrade to EKS 1.29, I will read the following documents:
- Release notes của EKS: <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions-standard.html>
- Kubernetes change log: <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.29.md>
- Kubernetes new version release notes: <https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/12/13/kubernetes-v1-29-release/>
- **Backup EKS cluster** (Optional)
- **Review and address deprecated APIs**:
- Kubernetes may deprecates some APIs in new version. So, we need to identify and fix any usage of deprecated APIs within our workloads to ensure compatibility in new EKS version.
- It’s worth to read [this deprecation policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-policy/) to understand how Kubernetes deprecate APIs.
- There are several tools that help us find out the API deprecations in our clusters. One of them is “[kube-no-trouble](https://github.com/doitintl/kube-no-trouble)” aka kubent. At the time I write this document, the latest ruleset is for 1.29 in kubent. I run kubent with target version of 1.29 and got the below result. As you can see, kubent shows the deprecated APIs.
<center> Deprecated APIs found by kubent </center>
**2. Update manifests**
When we have deprecated APIs in our hands. For next steps, we need to update those API version by manually or tools such as “kubectl convert” that actually depends on number of deprecated APIs. We recommend you to update the API version manually to avoid any unforeseen error. For example, based on above kubent result, we see that our HPA apiVersion will be removed since version 1.26. This is original HPA manifest in the current EKS cluster v1.24 and updated HPA manifest in new version, respectively:
<center> Old version </center>
<center> New version </center>
**3. Bootstrap new cluster**
There are some typical options for a new Amazon EKS cluster deployment with your desired Kubernetes version such as AWS Management Console, [eksctl](https://eksctl.io/) tool, or Terraform. In this blog, we have deployed a new cluster, namely "green-eks", using version v1.29 and EC2 worker nodes.
<center> New EKS cluster </center>
<center>EC2 worker nodes</center>
**4. Re-deploy add-ons and third-party tools with compatible version**
Once the "green-eks" cluster is ready, we've re-deployed required custom add-ons and third-party tools. It's crucial to ensure those adds-on and third-party tools version are compatible with new cluster. For instance, [this document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/managing-vpc-cni.html) shows us the suggested version of the Amazon VPC CNI add-on to use for each cluster version.
<center>EKS adds-on in new cluster</center>
**5. Re-deploy workloads**
Now that the foundation is laid, we can begin redeploying our workloads to the new "green-eks" cluster.
<center>Application deployment in new cluster</center>
**6. Verify workloads**
Once our workloads are deployed successfully in the "green-eks" cluster, it's verification time! The specific tests you run will depend on your application development process. You might opt for smoke test, integration test, manual test, or even a simple UI check like we did in this blog for demo purpose only. The key purpose is to ensure everything functions as intended in the new environment.
<center> Application in new cluster</center>
We also would check EKS adds-on operation. For example, Karpenter works well by scaling node as expected.
<center> Karpenter deployment logs </center>
**7. DNS Switchover**
When application is ready to serve the client requests, the final step is to switch traffic over to the "green-eks" cluster. We achieved this by updating our DNS records in DNS management such as Amazon Route 53 or any other DNS provider. Amazon Route 53 provides weighted routing policy, so we can initially direct a small percentage of users to the new cluster. This allows us perform a staged rollout and verify everything functions smoothly before migrating all traffic.
<center> Weighted routing policy ([source](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/blue-green-or-canary-amazon-eks-clusters-migration-for-stateless-argocd-workloads/)) </center>
**Stateful workloads migration**
During workload deployments to new Kubernetes clusters, specific considerations arise for stateful workloads. These workloads, such as Solr databases or monitoring stacks like Prometheus and Grafana, require data persistence and careful migration strategies. One proven and reliable migration approach for ensuring data integrity is the backup and restore method. We shared our experience in Solr database migration between EKS cluster in previous [blog](https://dev.to/haintkit/how-to-migrate-apache-solr-from-the-existing-cluster-to-amazon-eks-3b3l). The blog serves as a reference guide for migrating your stateful workloads.
**Conclusion**
By leveraging the Blue/Green deployment strategy, we've successfully navigated our EKS upgrade with minimal disruption. This approach offers several benefits:
- **Reduced Downtime:** Since you maintain a fully functional "blue" cluster while deploying the upgrade on "green," user traffic experiences minimal interruption.
- **Phased Rollout:** Weighted routing policy with Amazon Route 53 allows for a staged rollout, letting you test the new cluster with a small percentage of users before fully traffic migration.
- **Rollback:** If any issues arise in the new environment, you can easily switch traffic back to the "blue" cluster with minimum overhead.
This blog provides a high-level guideline for EKS upgrade process using blue/green deployment to mitigate system disruption. Remember to tailor the specific steps to your application and infrastructure. Through a well-prepared planning and execution, blue/green deployment can make your EKS upgrade a breeze!

Whether you’re a... | 27,882 | 2024-06-27T04:39:19 | https://n3rdnerd.com/laravel-timestamps-automatic-handling-of-created-and-updated-dates/ | laravel, webdev, beginners, programming | ## 👋 Introduction
Welcome to the whimsical world of Laravel timestamps! Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious beginner, this guide will tickle your funny bone while giving you a crystal-clear understanding of how Laravel effortlessly manages timestamps for created_at and updated_at fields. Are you ready to dive in? Buckle up—this ride is going to be both informative and amusing! 🤓🎢
In the world of web development, keeping track of when records are created or updated can be as exciting as watching paint dry. But don’t despair! Laravel, the PHP framework that makes developers’ lives easier, automates this process, sparing you from timestamp tedium. Let’s explore how Laravel timestamps can save you time and sanity.⌛
## 💡 Common Uses
Laravel timestamps are commonly used in database tables to automatically record when a record is created and when it’s last updated. Imagine you’re running a blog site. You’ll want to know when each post was published and last edited for both administrative purposes and user transparency.
Another common use case is e-commerce. Keeping logs of order creation and updates can help in tracking the status of deliveries, returns, and customer inquiries. With Laravel timestamps, you can rest easy knowing these details are captured effortlessly. 📅🛍️
## 👨💻 How a Nerd Would Describe It
Imagine if the Terminator got a degree in computer science and started working as a backend developer. Laravel timestamps are like a hyper-intelligent, time-traveling bot that zips through your code, tagging your database records with the precise moments they were born and last modified. “I’ll be back,” it whispers every time a record updates. 🤖
For a more technical explanation, Laravel employs the Eloquent ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) to automatically manage the created_at and updated_at columns in your database. These timestamps are updated without you lifting a finger, thanks to Eloquent’s model events. 🚀
## 🚀 Concrete, Crystal Clear Explanation
When you define a model in Laravel, such as Post or Order, Eloquent assumes you want to track the creation and update times. It does this by adding two columns to your database table: created_at and updated_at. Whenever you create or update a record, Eloquent will automatically set the current date and time for these fields.
Here’s a simple example:
```
$article = new Article;
$article->title = 'Why Laravel Timestamps are Awesome';
$article->content = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...';
$article->save();
```
In this case, Eloquent will set the created_at and updated_at fields to the current timestamp when the save() method is called. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! 🍋
## 🚤 Golden Nuggets: Simple, Short Explanation
What are Laravel timestamps? Automated fields (created_at and updated_at) that keep track of when a record is created and last updated.
How do they work? Eloquent updates these timestamps automatically whenever you create or update a record in your database.
## 🔍 Detailed Analysis
Laravel timestamps are enabled by default for any model that extends the IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel. Behind the scenes, Laravel uses mutators and accessors to manage these timestamp fields. When a record is created or updated, Eloquent’s save() method triggers these mutators to set the created_at and updated_at fields.
You can customize this behavior too. If you don’t want Eloquent to manage these timestamps, simply set the $timestamps property to false in your model:
```
class Article extends Model {
public $timestamps = false;
}
```
But why would you? Laravel timestamps are like having a pet cat that feeds itself. You don’t want to mess with that kind of convenience! 😺
## 👍 Dos: Correct Usage
Enable Timestamps by Default: Laravel has them on by default, so unless you have a compelling reason, leave them be.
Use Them for Auditing: Track changes and keep a history of record modifications. This can be invaluable for debugging and compliance.
```
// Example of creating a new record
$article = new Article([
'title' => 'A Day in the Life of a Laravel Developer',
'content' => 'Wake up, code, coffee, repeat...',
]);
$article->save();
```
## 🥇 Best Practices
Stay Consistent: Even if you disable timestamps for certain models, ensure that you have a consistent strategy across your application.
Leverage Mutators: Use Laravel’s mutators to format timestamps as needed.
```
public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value) {
return Carbon::parse($value)->format('d/m/Y');
}
```
Think About Timezones: Ensure your application handles timezones correctly. Use Laravel’s built-in timezone support to avoid any “wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey” confusion. 🌍⌛
## 🛑 Don’ts: Wrong Usage
- Don’t Overthink It: Laravel timestamps work out-of-the-box. Don’t over-engineer a solution for something that’s already solved.
- Avoid Manual Updates: Don’t manually update created_at or updated_at unless absolutely necessary. Let Eloquent handle it.
```
// Bad practice
$article->created_at = now();
$article->save();
```
## ➕ Advantages
- Simplicity: Automatically managed, reducing boilerplate code.
- Reliability: Consistent and accurate tracking of record creation and updates.
- Audit Trails: Quickly see when records were last modified, aiding in debugging and compliance. 🕵️♂️🗂️
## ➖ Disadvantages
- Default Behavior Assumptions: If you need a different timestamp strategy, you’ll have to override the defaults.
- Hidden Complexity: While convenient, automated processes can sometimes obscure what’s happening under the hood, potentially leading to confusion. 🤔
## 📦 Related Topics
Eloquent ORM: The core of Laravel’s database interaction, which manages the timestamps.
Mutators and Accessors: Used to customize how Eloquent handles your model attributes, including timestamps.
Soft Deletes: Another handy Eloquent feature for marking records as deleted without actually removing them from the database. 🗑️
## ⁉️ FAQ
Q: Can I rename the created_at and updated_at columns?
A: Absolutely! Define const CREATED_AT and const UPDATED_AT in your model to set custom names.
```
class Article extends Model {
const CREATED_AT = 'creation_date';
const UPDATED_AT = 'last_update';
}
```
Q: How do I disable timestamps for a specific model?
A: Set the $timestamps property to false in your model.
```
class Article extends Model {
public $timestamps = false;
}
```
Q: How do I format timestamps?
A: Use accessor methods in your Eloquent model.
```
public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value) {
return Carbon::parse($value)->format('d/m/Y');
}
```
## 👌 Conclusion
Laravel timestamps take the drudgery out of managing created_at and updated_at fields, letting you focus on building amazing applications. They provide a reliable, automated way to track record creation and updates, with flexibility for customization if needed. So next time you’re working late, stressing about timestamps, just remember: Laravel’s got your back. Go grab a coffee, and let Laravel handle the rest. ☕🎉 | n3rdnerd |

1,894,875 | The Importance of Upgrading Frameworks: A Case for Angular | Introduction In the fast-paced world of software development, staying up-to-date with the... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:23:49 | https://dev.to/this-is-angular/the-importance-of-upgrading-frameworks-a-case-for-angular-5c91 | webdev, javascript, angular, typescript | ## Introduction
In the fast-paced world of software development, staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and frameworks is not just a matter of keeping up with trends; it's a critical component of maintaining a secure, efficient, and robust application. Despite this, many companies continue to run older or outdated versions of frameworks, including Angular. Often, the decision to forego upgrades is driven by a perception that business delivery takes precedence over technological maintenance. However, this approach can lead to significant vulnerabilities and security concerns that ultimately affect the business's bottom line. This article will explore why upgrading frameworks, specifically Angular, is crucial and provide concrete examples to convince even the most skeptical managers of its benefits.
### The Risks of Sticking with Outdated Frameworks
#### Security Vulnerabilities
Every software framework, including Angular, has vulnerabilities that are discovered and patched over time. Running an outdated version means your application is exposed to known security issues that could have been mitigated with an upgrade. For example, Angular has had several security updates over the years addressing issues such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and dependency vulnerabilities. By not upgrading, you leave your application susceptible to attacks that can compromise user data and damage your company's reputation.
**Example**: In AngularJs 1.6.3, a critical security vulnerability was discovered that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via the ngSanitize service. This issue was patched in a subsequent release. Companies still running Angular 1.6.3 or earlier are at risk of exploitation. Despite Angular 1.6.3 being an old version, it serves as an example because many legacy systems still run on AngularJS (Angular 1.x), and these systems are particularly vulnerable if not properly maintained.
### Performance Improvements
Each new version of Angular introduces performance optimizations that make your application faster and more efficient. These improvements are often the result of extensive research and development by the Angular team, and they can have a significant impact on your application's load times and responsiveness.
**Example**: Angular 9 introduced the Ivy compiler, which drastically reduced the size of compiled JavaScript bundles, leading to faster load times and improved performance. Applications that have not upgraded to Angular 9 or later are missing out on these substantial gains.
### Compatibility and Support
Frameworks evolve to support new web standards, browser features, and third-party integrations. Running an outdated version of Angular can lead to compatibility issues with modern tools and libraries, making it harder to integrate new features or technologies into your application.
**Example**: Angular 12 introduced strict mode, which improves maintainability and reduces the likelihood of runtime errors. It also provides better support for TypeScript 4.2, which includes new language features and performance enhancements. Sticking with an older version may result in compatibility issues and technical debt.
### Developer Satisfaction
Developer satisfaction is crucial for retaining top talent and ensuring high productivity levels. Developers prefer working with the latest technologies to stay current with industry trends and advance their careers. Using an outdated tech stack can lead to frustration and decreased motivation, as developers may feel they are missing out on learning and growth opportunities. Nobody wants to work with old technologies that do not provide the modern conveniences, performance improvements, and security features available in newer versions.
**Example**: A team of developers working with an outdated version of Angular might feel demotivated compared to their peers who are using the latest version with advanced features and improved tooling. This can lead to higher turnover rates as developers seek opportunities that allow them to work with cutting-edge technologies.
### Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Many industries, especially those dealing with sensitive information like finance and healthcare, are subject to strict regulatory requirements. Using outdated software can lead to non-compliance, resulting in fines and legal consequences. Regulatory bodies often require that software be up-to-date and free of known vulnerabilities.
**Example**: In the banking sector, projects are often marked as security risks if they use outdated npm packages with known vulnerabilities. This non-compliance can lead to audits and penalties. Tools like Black Duck and SonarQube (Sonar) scans are frequently used to ensure compliance by identifying and reporting outdated or vulnerable dependencies. Black Duck, for instance, provides detailed reports on open-source component risks, helping teams understand the implications of using outdated libraries.
### Current Angular Versions
As of June 2024, the current supported versions of Angular are 18, 17, 16. Angular follows a regular release cycle with Long-Term Support (LTS) versions that receive updates for an extended period (12 months), providing stability and security for production applications.
### Unsupported Angular Versions
It's important to be aware of the Angular versions that are no longer supported, as they do not receive security updates or bug fixes. **Angular versions v2 to v15 are no longer supported.**
Using these unsupported versions can expose your application to security risks and compatibility issues.
### Overcoming the Resistance to Upgrade
Managers often resist upgrading frameworks due to concerns about the perceived disruption to business delivery. However, the risks associated with running outdated software can far outweigh the temporary inconvenience of an upgrade. Here are some strategies to help convince your manager:
### Highlight Security Risks:
Emphasize the importance of security in protecting user data and maintaining trust. Provide examples of high-profile security breaches that were the result of outdated software. Explain that the cost of a security incident, in terms of both financial impact and reputation damage, can be far greater than the cost of an upgrade.
**Example**: The Equifax data breach in 2017, which exposed the personal information of 147 million people, was partly due to an unpatched vulnerability in a web application framework. This breach resulted in a $700 million settlement.
### Demonstrate Cost Savings:
While the initial investment in upgrading may seem high, it can lead to long-term cost savings by reducing technical debt, minimizing downtime, and improving developer efficiency. Provide a cost-benefit analysis that compares the costs of an upgrade to the potential costs of security breaches, performance issues, and maintenance of outdated code.
**Example**: A study by IBM found that the average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million. Investing in regular upgrades can mitigate these risks and save significant costs in the long run.
### Showcase Success Stories:
Provide case studies of companies that have successfully upgraded their frameworks and reaped the benefits. Highlight improvements in security, performance, and developer productivity. This can help alleviate fears and demonstrate the tangible benefits of staying up-to-date.
**Example**: A major e-commerce company upgraded from AngularJS to Angular 10 and saw a 30% improvement in page load times, resulting in a 15% increase in user engagement and a 10% boost in sales.
### Plan for Minimal Disruption:
Develop a detailed upgrade plan that minimizes disruption to business delivery. This can include phased rollouts, thorough testing, and parallel development to ensure a smooth transition. Demonstrating a well-thought-out plan can help reassure managers that the upgrade will not negatively impact ongoing projects.
**Example**: Conduct a pilot upgrade with a smaller, less critical part of the application to identify potential issues and develop solutions before rolling out the upgrade to the entire system.
### Creating a Framework or Developer Experience (DX) Team
One effective strategy to ensure regular upgrades and maintenance of frameworks is to establish a dedicated Framework or Developer Experience (DX) team. This team can take responsibility for monitoring updates, assessing their impact, and planning upgrades without disrupting the core business activities.
**Example**: A large tech company established a DX team tasked with maintaining the development environment and ensuring all frameworks and libraries are up-to-date. This team conducted regular audits using tools like Black Duck and SonarQube to identify outdated dependencies and potential security risks. They then worked with development teams to plan and implement upgrades in a phased and controlled manner, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing projects.
**Example**: A financial institution formed a Framework Team to handle all aspects of framework maintenance, including Angular upgrades. This team used automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities and compliance issues, producing regular reports and actionable insights. By centralizing this responsibility, the institution was able to stay compliant with regulatory requirements and avoid potential security risks associated with outdated software.
### Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Many industries, particularly those dealing with sensitive information like finance and healthcare, are subject to stringent regulatory requirements. Compliance with these regulations often necessitates keeping software up-to-date to avoid known vulnerabilities. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines, legal action, and reputational damage.
**Example**: In the banking sector, using outdated npm packages with known vulnerabilities can mark a project as a security risk. Financial institutions must adhere to strict security standards and regulatory requirements, which often include regular updates and patches to software components. Tools like Black Duck and SonarQube (Sonar) are instrumental in maintaining compliance by scanning for vulnerabilities in open-source components and outdated libraries.
Black Duck provides comprehensive reports on open-source component risks, helping development teams understand the security and compliance implications of using specific libraries. Similarly, SonarQube integrates into the development pipeline to continuously analyze code for potential issues, including security vulnerabilities and outdated dependencies. These tools not only help ensure compliance but also enhance overall security posture by identifying and mitigating risks early in the development process.
### Conclusion
Upgrading frameworks, particularly Angular, is not just a technical necessity but a strategic imperative. The risks associated with running outdated software, including security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and compliance problems, can have severe consequences for your business. By highlighting these risks and providing concrete examples of the benefits of upgrading, you can make a compelling case to your manager that the long-term gains far outweigh the short-term inconveniences. Establishing a dedicated Framework or DX team can further streamline the upgrade process, ensuring regular maintenance without disrupting business delivery. In a world where technology is constantly evolving, staying current is essential to maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring the security and reliability of your applications.

I am using Flatpickr in svelte for date range selection in my project and encountered a specific issue regarding the Independent Year selection for two calendars. Currently, when I change the year for one calendar, it changes the year for a second calendar as well. This behavior is not desirable as I need both calendars to update their years independently.
Expected Behavior:
Independent Year Updates: Each calendar should allow independent updates to the year without affecting the other calendar. I want to select a range for more than one year like from 2015 to 2018.
the change year function
`const changeYear = (event: Event, index: number) => {
if (calendarInstance) {
const newYear = parseInt((event.target as HTMLSelectElement).value, 10);
const currentMonth = (calendarInstance.currentMonth + index) % 12;
calendarInstance.setDate(new Date(newYear, currentMonth, 1), false);
updateDropdowns(calendarInstance);
}`
the flatepikcer set-up
`const setupFlatpickr = () => {
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
const options = {
mode: 'range',
showMonths: 2,
prevMonthDayClass: 'prevMonthDay not-active',
defaultDate: [new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), new Date()],
nextMonthDayClass: 'nextMonthDay not-active',
dateFormat: 'Y-m-d',
onChange: (selectedDates: Date[], dateStr: string, instance: FlatpickrInstance) => {
startDate = selectedDates[0];
endDate = selectedDates[1];
updateSelectedRangeDisplay();
},
onReady: (selectedDates: Date[], dateStr: string, instance: FlatpickrInstance) => {
calendarInstance = instance;
insertCustomDropdowns(instance);
preselectDropdowns(instance);
},
onMonthChange: (selectedDates: Date[], dateStr: string, instance: FlatpickrInstance) => {
updateDropdowns(instance);
},
onYearChange: (selectedDates: Date[], dateStr: string, instance: FlatpickrInstance) => {
updateDropdowns(instance);
},
onClose: () => {
// Handle close event if needed
isApplied.set(false);
isCancelled.set(false);
}
// Other options as needed
};
flatpickr('#dateRangePicker', options);
}
};`
Any Help Would Be Appreciated:
Your assistance in resolving this issue or providing guidance on how to achieve independent year updates for two Flatpickr calendars would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Git Issue Link:https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr/issues/3025

1,902,075 | Hosting a Static Website on Amazon S3 with Terraform: A Step-by-Step Guide | Introduction In the world of web development, static websites offer a straightforward and efficient... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:30:02 | https://dev.to/mohanapriya_s_1808/hosting-a-static-website-on-amazon-s3-with-terraform-a-step-by-step-guide-3m1 | **Introduction**
In the world of web development, static websites offer a straightforward and efficient way to present content without the complexities of server-side processing. Amazon S3 provides a robust platform for hosting these static websites, ensuring high availability and scalability. To further streamline the deployment process, Terraform, an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, can be used to automate the creation and management of your AWS resources.
This guide will walk you through the process of hosting a static website on Amazon S3 using Terraform, leveraging a modular file structure for clarity and ease of management. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional static website hosted on Amazon S3, managed entirely through Terraform.
**Prerequisites**
Before we dive into the steps, let's ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:
1. AWS Account: If you don't have one, sign up for an AWS account.
2. Terraform Installed: Download and install Terraform from the official website.
3. AWS CLI Installed: Install the AWS CLI by following the instructions here.
4. AWS Credentials Configured: Configure your AWS CLI with your credentials by running aws configure.
**Step-1:** Create the Directory Structure
First, let's create a directory for our Terraform project and navigate into it.
```
mkdir my-static-website
cd my-static-website
```
**Step-2:** Define your Terraform Configuration
Create a file named terraform.tf and define your provider configuration. This configuration sets up the Terraform to use the AWS provider, specifying your AWS profile and region
```
# Terraform
terraform {
required_version = "1.8.5"
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "5.40.0"
}
}
}
#Provider
provider "aws" {
profile = "default"
region = "us-east-1"
}
```
**Step-3:** Create the S3 bucket
Create a file named bucket.tf to define your S3 bucket and its configuration. This defines a S3 bucket and uploads an index.html file to it.
```
# Create S3 Bucket
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "terraform-demo-1808" {
bucket = "terraform-demo-1808"
}
# Upload file to S3
resource "aws_s3_object" "terraform_index" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.id
key = "index.html"
source = "index.html"
content_type = "text/html"
etag = filemd5("index.html")
}
# S3 Web hosting
resource "aws_s3_bucket_website_configuration" "terraform_hosting" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.id
index_document {
suffix = "index.html"
}
}
```
**Step-4:** Set up the bucket policies
Create a file named policy.tf to define your S3 bucket policies to allow public access. This block temporarily disables S3’s default Block Public Access settings for this specific bucket.
```
# S3 public access
resource "aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block" "terraform-demo" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.id
block_public_acls = false
block_public_policy = false
}
# S3 public Read policy
resource "aws_s3_bucket_policy" "open_access" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.id
policy = jsonencode({
Version = "2012-10-17"
Id = "Public_access"
Statement = [
{
Sid = "IPAllow"
Effect = "Allow"
Principal = "*"
Action = ["s3:GetObject"]
Resource = "${aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.arn}/*"
},
]
})
depends_on = [ aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block.terraform-demo ]
}
```
**Step-5:** Configure the Output variable
Create a file named output.tf for your website's URL.
```
# Website URL
output "website_url" {
value = "http://${aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.bucket}.s3-website.${aws_s3_bucket.terraform-demo-1808.region}.amazonaws.com"
}
```
**Step-6:** Initialize your terraform
It essentially prepares Terraform’s working directory for managing infrastructure. It downloads and installs any required provider plugins based on your configuration like hashicorp/aws provider.
```
terraform init
```
**Step-7:** Terraform Validate
It performs a static analysis of your Terraform configuration files and validates the overall syntax of your Terraform code, ensuring it adheres to the Terraform language rules.
```
terraform validate
```
**Step-8:** Terraform Plan
It is used for understanding and reviewing the intended changes to your infrastructure before actually applying them.
```
terraform plan
```
**Step-9:** Terraform Apply
The Terraform apply command in Terraform is the one that actually executes the actions outlined in the plan generated by the Terraform plan. It’s the final step in making the desired infrastructure changes a reality.
```
terraform apply
```
**Step-10:** Access your website
After the apply process completes terraform will output your website's URL. Visit the URL to see your static website live.
**Conclusion:**
Congratulations! You've successfully hosted a static website on Amazon S3 using Terraform. This approach not only makes deployment straightforward but also ensures your infrastructure is version-controlled and easily reproducible.
By following this guide, you can quickly deploy static websites for various purposes, such as personal blogs, portfolios, or documentation sites. Explore the power of Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and take your web hosting to the next level!

If you’re here,... | 27,882 | 2024-06-27T04:23:24 | https://n3rdnerd.com/laravel-task-scheduling-scheduling-artisan-commands/ | laravel, artisan, beginners, schedule | ## 👋 Introduction
Welcome to the whimsical world of Laravel Task Scheduling! If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve encountered the mystical “Artisan Commands” and wondered, “How on Earth do I schedule these magical tasks?” Fret not, dear reader, for we are about to embark on an amusing yet educational journey through the realms of Laravel’s powerful task scheduling capabilities! 🚀
Laravel is a beloved PHP framework, considered the Swiss Army knife of backend development. One of its many impressive tools is the Task Scheduler, which allows developers to automate repetitive tasks with finesse and ease. From generating reports to sending out newsletters, the Task Scheduler has got your back. And guess what? It’s surprisingly fun to use! ✨
## 💡Common Uses
Laravel Task Scheduling isn’t limited to just one or two uses; its applications span a myriad of scenarios. Imagine you’re running an e-commerce site. Wouldn’t it be grand if you could automate your daily sales report to be sent out at the crack of dawn? Or how about automatically clearing out old, unused user sessions to keep your database snappy?
Another common use case is sending periodic newsletters. Rather than manually composing and sending emails every week, you can schedule an Artisan command to handle the task. The possibilities are endless: cache cleaning, database backups, regular API calls, you name it! If a task needs to be done regularly, Laravel’s got you covered. 📬
## 👨💻 How a Nerd Would Describe It
If you asked a nerd—let’s call him Bob—he’d probably dive into a monologue about cron jobs and the efficiency of offloading repetitive tasks to background processes. “You see,” Bob would say, adjusting his glasses, “Laravel Task Scheduling leverages cron expressions to define the frequency of these tasks, offering a robust yet straightforward API for managing them.”
Bob would go on about the elegance of Laravel’s schedule method and the joy of chaining methods like ->daily() and ->monthlyOn(1, '15:00'). He’d probably whip out some code snippets, too. “Look at this beauty,” he’d exclaim, showing off a perfectly scheduled command that sends out weekly reports every Monday at 8:00 AM. 📅
## 🚀 Concrete, Crystal Clear Explanation
Alright, let’s break it down. Laravel Task Scheduling lets you define scheduled tasks within your AppConsoleKernel.php file. Rather than dealing with the clunky syntax of traditional cron jobs, you get to use Laravel’s elegant syntax. Here’s a simple example:
```
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('report:generate')
->dailyAt('08:00');
}
```
In this snippet, the report:generate Artisan command will run daily at 8:00 AM. This is way easier than writing a cron job! Plus, you get the added readability and maintainability that comes with using Laravel’s clean syntax. 🧼
## 🚤 Golden Nuggets: Simple, Short Explanation
What is it? Laravel Task Scheduling automates repetitive tasks using Artisan commands.
How does it work? Define tasks in AppConsoleKernel.php using Laravel’s syntax.
Why should you care? It saves time and reduces the risk of human error.
## 🔍 Detailed Analysis
The Laravel Task Scheduler is built on top of the Unix cron service, which is a time-based job scheduler. However, instead of writing cryptic cron expressions, Laravel offers a fluent API for scheduling commands. This translates to highly readable and maintainable code, which is a big win for developers.
You’ll also find that Laravel’s scheduling system is incredibly flexible. You can schedule tasks to run at various intervals: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and even on specific days of the week. Furthermore, you can chain additional conditions and constraints to make sure tasks only run under specific circumstances. For example, you can use ->when() to conditionally run a task based on a database value.
One important thing to note is that the Laravel scheduler itself needs to be initiated. This is done by adding a single cron entry to your server that runs every minute:
```
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
```
This cron entry essentially tells Laravel to check if any scheduled tasks need to be executed every minute. It’s a simple setup, and once configured, Laravel takes care of the rest. 👌
## 👍 Dos: Correct Usage
- Do define your scheduled tasks in AppConsoleKernel.php.
- Do use clear and readable method chains like ->dailyAt('08:00').
- Do test your scheduled tasks locally before deploying.
- Do consider using additional conditions with methods like ->when().
- Do monitor your scheduled tasks to ensure they are executing as expected.
## 🥇 Best Practices
- Keep it Simple: Avoid overcomplicating your task schedules. Break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable ones.
- Logging: Add logging to your scheduled tasks so that you can easily track their execution and identify any issues.
- Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to ensure that your tasks can gracefully handle failures.
- Testing: Use Laravel’s testing tools to simulate task execution in different scenarios to ensure reliability.
- Documentation: Document your scheduled tasks and their purposes to maintain clarity within your development team.
## 🛑 Don’ts: Wrong Usage
- Don’t rely solely on scheduling for critical tasks without monitoring.
- Don’t overload your schedule with too many tasks at the same time.
- Don’t ignore failed tasks. Set up notifications for failures.
- Don’t assume your local environment is identical to your production environment. Always test in production.
## ➕ Advantages
- Ease of Use: Laravel’s fluent syntax makes scheduling tasks intuitive and straightforward.
- Maintainability: Scheduled tasks are easy to read and maintain, even for non-experts.
- Flexibility: The scheduler allows for highly customizable task schedules.
- Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other Laravel features like Eloquent and Blade.
- Monitoring: Built-in support for logging and notifications ensures you’re always in the loop.
## ➖ Disadvantages
- Complexity with Scalability: As the number of scheduled tasks grows, managing them can become complex.
- Server Dependency: The scheduler relies on the server’s cron service, which might not be available in all hosting environments.
- Debugging: Debugging issues with scheduled tasks can sometimes be tricky, especially in production.
- 📦 Related Topics
- Queues: Offload heavy tasks to job queues for better performance.
- Event Listeners: Use event listeners to trigger tasks in response to specific events.
- Notifications: Combine task scheduling with Laravel Notifications to alert users of significant events.
- Configuration: Dive into Laravel’s configuration options to further customize your task scheduling.
## ⁉️ FAQ
Q: Can I schedule tasks to run more frequently than once per minute?
A: Not directly. The Laravel scheduler itself only runs every minute. However, within that minute, you can perform more granular checks within your tasks to simulate more frequent execution.
Q: How do I monitor my scheduled tasks?
A: You can add logging or use Laravel’s built-in notification system to monitor task execution and receive alerts for failures.
Q: Can I use Laravel Task Scheduling without a cron service?
A: Unfortunately, no. The scheduler relies on the cron service to check and execute tasks at the specified intervals.
Q: What happens if a scheduled task fails?
A: You should implement error handling within your tasks. Laravel also allows you to set up notifications to alert you of any failures.
Q: Can I schedule tasks conditionally?
A: Yes, you can use the ->when() method to conditionally execute tasks based on various criteria.
## 👌 Conclusion
And there you have it! We’ve journeyed through the fantastical world of Laravel Task Scheduling, explored its quirks, and uncovered the hidden treasures it offers to developers. Whether you’re automating mundane tasks or setting up intricate schedules, Laravel’s Task Scheduler is a tool that can save you time and headaches.
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Use the scheduler wisely, monitor your tasks, and ensure they are running smoothly. Happy coding! 🎉 | n3rdnerd |

1,902,072 | Handling Large Numbers of Promises in Node JS | Practical Tips for Managing Multiple Promises in Node JS Applications Handling Large Numbers of... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:20:54 | https://dev.to/manojgohel/handling-large-numbers-of-promises-in-node-js-53h0 | node, javascript, promises, beginners | > Practical Tips for Managing Multiple Promises in Node JS Applications
Handling Large Numbers of Promises in Node Js: Practical Tips for Managing Multiple Promises in Node Js Applications
When developing with Node.js, you may come across situations where you need to manage a large number of promises. For instance, you might need to send requests to multiple URLs.
In this article, we’ll explore different strategies to handle these situations gracefully, without overwhelming your server.
# The Challenge
Suppose you have an array of **2000+ URLs** and you need to send a GET request to each one. A naive approach might be to loop over the array and send a request for each URL.
However, this could potentially create hundreds or thousands of simultaneous requests, which could overwhelm your server or the server you’re sending requests to.
# The Solutions
## 1\. [Promise.all](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/all) with Batching
`Promise.all` allows you to handle multiple promises at once, but using it with thousands of promises might overwhelm your server. Instead, you can batch your promises into smaller groups and handle each batch separately.
```
const batchSize = 100; // Adjust as needed
for(let i = 0; i < promises.length; i += batchSize) {
const batch = promises.slice(i, i + batchSize);
await Promise.all(batch);
}
```
In this example, we’re using `Promise.all` to handle multiple promises at once, but we're doing it in batches to avoid overwhelming the system with too many concurrent promises.
**Here’s how it works:**
1. In the `Promise.all` with batching example, we:
2. Set a `batchSize` for concurrent promises.
3. Loop through `promises` array in `batchSize` chunks.
4. For each chunk, we use `Promise.all` to handle all promises in that chunk concurrently.
5. We wait for each chunk to finish before moving to the next one.
This approach allows us to handle a large number of promises in a controlled manner, without creating too many concurrent promises that could overwhelm the system.
## [2\. Promise.allSettled](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/allSettled)
This function is similar to `Promise.all`, but it doesn't reject as soon as one of the promises rejects. Instead, it waits for all promises to settle, whether they fulfill or reject.
This can be useful if you want to handle all of your promises, even if some of them fail.
```
const axios = require('axios');
const urls = \['url1', 'url2', 'url3', ..., 'url1000'\];
const requests = urls.map((url) => {
return axios.get(url)
.then(response => ({ status: 'fulfilled', value: response.data }))
.catch(error => ({ status: 'rejected', reason: error.message }));
});
Promise.allSettled(requests)
.then(results => {
results.forEach((result, index) => {
if (result.status === 'fulfilled') {
console.log(\`Response from ${urls\[index\]}:\`, result.value);
} else {
console.error(\`Error fetching ${urls\[index\]}:\`, result.reason);
}
});
});
```
In this example, we first create an array of promises using `Array.map`. Each promise sends a GET request to one of the URLs and returns an object with the status and the response data if the request succeeds, or the status and the error message if the request fails.
Then, we pass this array of promises to `Promise.allSettled`. This function returns a new promise that fulfills when all the promises in the array have settled, i.e., they have either fulfilled or rejected.
The fulfillment value of the `Promise.allSettled` promise is an array of objects that describe the outcome of each promise. We can then loop over this array to log the response data for each successful request and the error message for each failed request.
## [3\. async.eachLimit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/async)
The `async` library provides several functions that can help you handle large numbers of asynchronous operations. For example, `async.eachLimit` allows you to run a function on each item in a collection, with a limit on the number of concurrent executions.
Here’s an example of how you could use `async.eachLimit` to send GET requests to a list of URLs, with a maximum of 100 requests at a time
```
const async = require('async');
const axios = require('axios');
const urls = \['url1', 'url2', 'url3', ..., 'url1000'\];
async.eachLimit(urls, 100, async (url, callback) => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(url);
console.log(response.data);
callback();
} catch (error) {
console.error(\`Error fetching ${url}: ${error.message}\`);
callback(error);
}
}, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('A URL failed to process');
} else {
console.log('All URLs have been processed successfully');
}
});
```
In this example, we’re using the `async.eachLimit` function from the `async` library to send HTTP GET requests to a list of URLs. The function `async.eachLimit` is used to iterate over `urls`, an array of URLs, with a maximum of 100 requests at a time.
The function takes three arguments:
1. `urls`: The collection to iterate over.
2. `100`: The maximum number of items to process concurrently.
3. An asynchronous function that is applied to each item in the collection. This function takes two arguments:
- `url`: The current item being processed.
- `callback`: A callback function that you call when the processing of the current item is finished. If you pass an error (or any truthy value) to this callback, the main callback (the fourth argument to `async.eachLimit`) is immediately called with this error.
The asynchronous function sends a GET request to the current URL using `axios.get`. If the request is successful, it logs the response data and calls the callback with no arguments, indicating that it finished without errors.
If the request fails, it logs an error message and calls the callback with the error, indicating that it finished with an error.
Finally, `async.eachLimit` takes a fourth argument: a callback that is called when all items have been processed, or when an error occurs.
If there was an error with any URL, it logs a message indicating that a URL failed to process.
If there were no errors, it logs a message indicating that all URLs have been processed successfully.

They... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:19:59 | https://dev.to/srijan_karki/are-microservices-really-necessary-for-your-project-461f | microservices, programming, productivity, architecture | ## Introduction
Microservices have taken the software development world by storm. They promise scalability, flexibility, and organizational benefits that monolithic architectures often struggle to provide. But are microservices always the best choice? In this article, we’ll explore the hidden costs and benefits of microservices, sharing real-world experiences and lessons learned to help developers make informed decisions.
## The Rise of Microservices
### Definition
Microservices are an architectural style where applications are composed of small, independent services that communicate over a network. Each service is focused on a single business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.
### Popularity
Microservices have gained popularity due to their ability to scale systems and organizations effectively. Companies like Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon have successfully implemented microservices, setting a trend for others to follow.
### Initial Attraction
The primary allure of microservices lies in their scalability and the potential for parallel development by multiple teams. By breaking down an application into smaller, manageable pieces, organizations can deploy changes more rapidly and efficiently.
## Findings from Experience and Initial Implementation on Internet
### Background
In 2012, a development team faced the challenge of scaling their company to handle thousands of engineers and a 1000x increase in transactions. They needed an architecture that could manage different traffic patterns and allow teams to work independently.
### Initial Challenges
The team began by splitting their monolithic application into separate services, each handling different parts of their system, like Search and Shopping Cart. At the time, they didn't refer to this approach as microservices. Despite encountering numerous obstacles, the decision ultimately proved beneficial, enabling the company to scale and grow effectively.
## Hidden Costs and Challenges of Microservices
### Operational Overhead
One of the most significant challenges with microservices is the operational overhead. Maintaining multiple services requires ongoing effort in managing dependencies, runtime versions, and internal knowledge.
#### Example 1: Overabundance of Services
**Situation:** A company with around 200 developers had 350 microservices running in production.
**Issues:** Outdated dependencies, lack of internal knowledge, and maintenance challenges plagued the company. The sheer number of services made it difficult to keep everything up-to-date and functioning smoothly.
#### Example 2: Low Coupling and High Cohesion
**Situation:** A previous company had so many small services within a “bounded context” that any change required multiple teams to collaborate.
**Issues:** This tightly coupled system led to performance problems and excessive coordination. In an attempt to improve performance, teams considered creating an aggregator service, which ironically resembled a monolith.
#### Example 3: Complexity During Layoffs
**Situation:** Companies with complex microservices architectures struggled during layoffs, which reduced their tech departments significantly.

1,902,062 | JavaScript Project Design Patterns: A Comprehensive Guide 🚀 | Design patterns are essential tools in a developer's toolkit. They provide tried-and-tested solutions... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:16:24 | https://dev.to/rishikesh_janrao_a613fad6/javascript-project-design-patterns-a-comprehensive-guide-55o9 | webdev, javascript, designpatterns | Design patterns are essential tools in a developer's toolkit. They provide tried-and-tested solutions to common problems, making code more manageable, scalable, and maintainable. In JavaScript, design patterns play a crucial role, especially as projects grow in complexity.
In this article, we'll explore five popular design patterns in JavaScript, each accompanied by practical code examples. Let's dive in! 🌊
1. Singleton Pattern 🏢
The Singleton pattern ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it. This is particularly useful for managing global state or resources like database connections.
Example:
```jsx
class Singleton {
constructor() {
if (!Singleton.instance) {
this._data = [];
Singleton.instance = this;
}
return Singleton.instance;
}
addData(data) {
this._data.push(data);
}
getData() {
return this._data;
}
}
const instance1 = new Singleton();
const instance2 = new Singleton();
instance1.addData('Singleton Pattern');
console.log(instance2.getData()); // Output: ['Singleton Pattern']
console.log(instance1 === instance2); // Output: true
```
In this example, both `instance1` and `instance2` refer to the same instance, ensuring consistent state across your application.
2. Observer Pattern 👀
The Observer pattern defines a subscription mechanism to notify multiple objects about any changes to the observed object. It's widely used in event-driven programming, like implementing event listeners in JavaScript.
Example:
```jsx
class Subject {
constructor() {
this.observers = [];
}
subscribe(observer) {
this.observers.push(observer);
}
unsubscribe(observer) {
this.observers = this.observers.filter(obs => obs !== observer);
}
notify(data) {
this.observers.forEach(observer => observer.update(data));
}
}
class Observer {
update(data) {
console.log(`Observer received data: ${data}`);
}
}
const subject = new Subject();
const observer1 = new Observer();
const observer2 = new Observer();
subject.subscribe(observer1);
subject.subscribe(observer2);
subject.notify('New Notification!'); // Both observers receive the update
subject.unsubscribe(observer2);
subject.notify('Another Notification!'); // Only observer1 receives the update
```
The Observer pattern allows efficient and decoupled communication between the subject and its observers.
3. Factory Pattern 🏭
The Factory pattern provides a way to create objects without specifying the exact class of the object that will be created. It promotes loose coupling and makes it easy to introduce new object types.
Example:
```jsx
class Car {
drive() {
console.log('Driving a car!');
}
}
class Truck {
drive() {
console.log('Driving a truck!');
}
}
class VehicleFactory {
static createVehicle(type) {
switch (type) {
case 'car':
return new Car();
case 'truck':
return new Truck();
default:
throw new Error('Unknown vehicle type');
}
}
}
const myCar = VehicleFactory.createVehicle('car');
const myTruck = VehicleFactory.createVehicle('truck');
myCar.drive(); // Output: Driving a car!
myTruck.drive(); // Output: Driving a truck!
```
The Factory pattern simplifies object creation and allows for the addition of new vehicle types without modifying existing code.
4. Decorator Pattern 🎨
The Decorator pattern allows behavior to be added to individual objects, dynamically, without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class. It’s useful for extending functionalities in a flexible and reusable way.
Example:
```jsx
class Coffee {
cost() {
return 5;
}
}
class MilkDecorator {
constructor(coffee) {
this.coffee = coffee;
}
cost() {
return this.coffee.cost() + 2;
}
}
class SugarDecorator {
constructor(coffee) {
this.coffee = coffee;
}
cost() {
return this.coffee.cost() + 1;
}
}
let myCoffee = new Coffee();
console.log(myCoffee.cost()); // Output: 5
myCoffee = new MilkDecorator(myCoffee);
console.log(myCoffee.cost()); // Output: 7
myCoffee = new SugarDecorator(myCoffee);
console.log(myCoffee.cost()); // Output: 8
```
With the Decorator pattern, we can easily add more features to our coffee (like milk and sugar) without altering the Coffee class.
5. Module Pattern 📦
The Module pattern is used to create a group of related methods, providing a way to encapsulate and organize code. It’s similar to namespaces in other languages and is particularly useful for creating libraries.
Example:
```jsx
const MyModule = (function() {
const privateVariable = 'I am private';
function privateMethod() {
console.log(privateVariable);
}
return {
publicMethod() {
console.log('Accessing the module!');
privateMethod();
},
anotherPublicMethod() {
console.log('Another public method');
}
};
})();
MyModule.publicMethod(); // Output: Accessing the module! I am private
MyModule.anotherPublicMethod(); // Output: Another public method
```
The Module pattern helps in creating a clean namespace and keeping variables and methods private or public as required.
Conclusion 🎉
Understanding and implementing these design patterns can significantly improve the structure and readability of your JavaScript projects. They provide a blueprint for solving common issues and promote best practices in software development.
Experiment with these patterns in your projects, and you'll find them incredibly useful for writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code. Happy coding! 👨💻👩💻 | rishikesh_janrao_a613fad6 |

Why do you need it? Well, managing and optimizing your frontend assets can be as fun as untangling earphones. Mix helps you avoid those headaches by streamlining the process, letting you focus on the fun stuff, like building cool features, or playing ping-pong in the office lounge. 🏓
## 💡 Common Uses
Laravel Mix’s main superpower is to combine, minify, and version your CSS and JavaScript files. This means faster load times and happier users. Imagine your website is a pizza. Mix makes sure all the toppings (assets) are perfectly arranged and the slices (files) are just the right size.
But that’s not all! Mix also supports preprocessors like SASS and Less. So, if you’re feeling a bit fancy and want to add some gourmet ingredients to your CSS (like variables, nesting, or mixins), Mix has got your back. 🍕
## 👨💻 How a Nerd Would Describe It
“Laravel Mix is an elegant wrapper around Webpack for the 80% use case.” Translation? It’s a tool that makes Webpack – the notorious, complex asset bundler – as easy to use as a slice of pie. By abstracting away the boilerplate configuration, Mix allows developers to use Webpack’s powerful features without needing a PhD in configuration files.
In nerd terms, it leverages Webpack‘s API to handle the compiling, minifying, and versioning of assets. This means you can tap into Webpack’s advanced features (like hot module replacement and tree shaking) without tearing your hair out. 🧠
## 🚀 Concrete, Crystal Clear Explanation
Laravel Mix simplifies the often tedious process of managing frontend build tools by offering a concise API. It provides methods to define how assets should be compiled, where they should be output, and how they should be versioned.
For example, here’s a simple webpack.mix.js file:
```
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
```
This tells Mix to take your app.js file, process it, and output it to the public/js directory. Similarly, it compiles your SASS file and puts the resulting CSS in the public/css directory. Easy peasy! 🍋
## 🚤 Golden Nuggets: Simple, Short Explanation
Combines and minifies your CSS and JS files for faster website performance. 🚀

1,899,579 | Little PRs make the mighty refactor | Need of the hour Refactoring is a crucial part of software development. It involves... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:03:30 | https://dev.to/chinmaypurav/little-prs-make-the-mighty-refactor-1kc | ## Need of the hour
Refactoring is a crucial part of software development. It involves altering the structure of the code without changing its functionality. However, it's a process that can be fraught with risk if not carefully and thoroughly reviewed. This risk becomes exacerbated when automated tests, which serve as a safety net, ensuring that the code being modified still functions as expected, are not present.
## Common problems
A common pitfall that developers often fall into when undertaking a refactor is the temptation to tackle everything at once. This usually results in a large and unwieldy pull request, which can be quite daunting for anyone tasked with reviewing it. The larger the pull request, the greater the risk of crucial details being missed, errors being overlooked, and the process becoming excessively time-consuming.
## Strategize
A far more effective and efficient strategy is to break down the refactor into smaller, more manageable parts or segments. This approach not only simplifies the task at hand but also makes the review process a lot easier and far less prone to error. It's a simple matter of comparison; reviewing 10 files is significantly simpler and less time-consuming than reviewing 100 files. The smaller the task, the more attention to detail can be provided, leading to a more thorough and accurate review process.
## The real life matrix
Let's delve into the practicalities of the refactoring process. Suppose you're working on a project and you create a branch off from your `main` branch, naming it `refactor-1`. However, `refactor-1` isn't merged yet. But you have more work to do on the refactor, so what do you do? You create another branch off from `refactor-1`, naming it `refactor-2`, and you continue working there.
## Sailing on 2 ships
But what happens if you need to make changes to `refactor-1`? Perhaps there was an oversight in the initial refactor, or maybe new information has come to light that requires alterations to the code in `refactor-1`. In this situation, you would make the necessary changes to `refactor-1`, and then rebase `refactor-2` with `refactor-1`. This process ensures that `refactor-2` remains up-to-date with any changes made in `refactor-1`, maintaining code integrity and consistency throughout the refactor.
## The Essence
In conclusion, when undertaking a refactor, it's paramount to remember the importance of thorough review, the advantages of breaking down the task into smaller parts, and the necessity of maintaining code consistency when branching and rebasing. These practices lead to a smoother, more efficient refactoring process, minimizing risk and maximizing code quality. | chinmaypurav | |
1,902,056 | Scheduling IT and Engineering on-call rotations just got easier | Introducing UI improvements to the on-call schedules and rotations feature on Squadcast. It... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:02:22 | https://www.squadcast.com/blog/scheduling-it-and-engineering-on-call-rotations-just-got-easier | oncallrotation, incidentresponse | _Introducing UI improvements to the on-call schedules and rotations feature on Squadcast._
It shouldn’t take you more time than a few seconds to understand your on-call schedule and rotations and how you could make changes to it. It is important for on-call scheduling and alerting tools to make this as simple as possible. If you’re spending more than a few seconds to understand what your on-call rotations are going to be like for the next day or week or month, then you need to start looking for a better on-call management tool.
An on-call schedule helps you ensure that the right person is notified when an incident hits, irrespective of the time, day or night. This is done so by adding users on different rotations or shifts which also maintains a healthy balance between being on-call and regular work. When one or more engineers are on call for a service, they are expected to be the first person(s) to respond to issues and alerts from the service that need to be actioned on a timely basis. Needless to say, a lot of people dread being on-call. Reasons for this include - an uneasy expectation of the phone ringing at odd hours, dealing with a lot of unknowns and the lack of visibility of the on-call schedules. While bad on-call practices are a cultural problem that can be fixed with time, you can start to do a lot of good by just ensuring that there is clear visibility of who goes on-call and transparent processes to exchange shifts, etc.
In a function where you’re often anxious about something going down, one source of comfort is having access and visibility into things that you can know - like your on-call schedules. Google calendar does a fantastic job of just showing how your day is going to pan out with the timeline of activities scheduled. It doesn’t take longer than a few seconds to go over the schedule. Understanding your on-call schedule can and should be this intuitive.
## Squadcast-On call scheduling software
##A better way to view who is on call and when / On-call calendar visibility
Inspired by Google Calendar, we recently released a fresh new UI for our on-call schedules feature (on call rotation calendar) to make it more comfortable and simple to know exactly who is on-call today, next week, next month or literally whenever. You can also see who else is on the shift with you and who will take it on after you. Most importantly, tasks, like interchanging shifts, and managing time off, are super intuitive and easy.
You can configure a new schedule in under a minute with the following attributes:
### Completely customizable on-call schedules (set up On call rotations)
You can choose to create as many on-call schedules to support your current team and system structures much like before. What’s new is, you can customize it down to the color that you want the schedule to reflect on the calendar.
One best practice to keep in mind while creating a schedule is to understand that it’s better to create a recurring schedule as opposed to constantly changing it. This ensures that people on your team can predict their on-call shifts and plan their regular work and life accordingly. It’s a huge step towards fixing your on-call culture when your on-call shift is predictable and doesn’t come as a shock to you.
### Add one or more users or a squad to the rotation
You can choose to add a single person (user/ admin/ account holder), multiple people, or teams (squads) to an on-call rotation.
One or more on-call rotations make an on-call schedule. Rotations help you create shifts that allow for customizing hand-off times for each shift. It is super important to understand your current on-call culture and ensure that a healthy amount of time is allocated towards on-call and regular work. This balance is created by optimizing shift lengths for every schedule. Companies that focus on this aspect are sure to have happier employees and customers. Invariably, with short and sensible on-call shifts, evenly distributed among the team there's more focus on keeping your product or service reliable, which becomes a shared goal.
### Automatic timezone detection
If your on-call teams are geographically divided, you’ll need to take that into consideration while creating an on-call schedule for these teams. In the new on-call schedules feature in Squadcast, the selected timezone will default to the local machine timezone - so when someone from your Australia team is looking at the ‘Backend Schedule’ created by you, sitting out of California, they’ll be able to view the schedule in their local timezone without having to deal with the hassle of figuring out the time difference.

So maybe some of the projects have different versions of Node.js, and then we need to switch between different versions of Node.js for multiple projects. The Node Version Manager (NVM) is a fantastic tool that makes this process easier. In this guide, we'll cover three ways to install NVM on macOS and show you how to manage multiple Node.js versions with ease.
## What is NVM?
NVM is a version manager for Node.js, designed to simplify the installation and management of multiple Node.js versions on a single machine. With NVM, you can easily switch between different versions of Node.js as per your project's requirements.
## Prerequisites
Before we start, ensure you have the following:
- A macOS machine ( This method support for all versions of macOS including M1, M2 and Intel)
- Command Line Tools (you can install them by running `xcode-select - install` in the Terminal)
Now, let's explore the three ways to install NVM on macOS:
### Method 1: Installing NVM Using the Curl Command
This is the recommended method from the official NVM GitHub repository.
1. **Open Terminal**: Launch the Terminal application on your macOS.
2. **Download and Install NVM**: Run the following command to download and install NVM:
```sh
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash
```
3. **Load NVM**: After installation, you need to load NVM into your current terminal session. Add the following lines to your shell profile file (e.g., `.zshrc` for Zsh or `.bash_profile` for Bash):
```
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
```
4. **Apply Changes**: Run the following command to apply the changes:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
5. **Verify Installation**: Check if NVM is installed correctly by running:
```
nvm - version
```
### Method 2: Installing NVM Using Homebrew
Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS.
1. **Open Terminal**: Launch the Terminal application.
2. **Install Homebrew** (if not already installed):
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
3. **Install NVM with Homebrew**: Run the following command to install NVM:
```
brew install nvm
```
4. **Create NVM Directory**: Create a directory for NVM:
```
mkdir ~/.nvm
```
5. **Load NVM**: Add the following lines to your shell profile file (e.g., `.zshrc` or `.bash_profile`):
```
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
. "$(brew - prefix nvm)/nvm.sh"
```
6. **Apply Changes**: Run the following command to apply the changes:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
7. **Verify Installation**: Check if NVM is installed correctly by running:
```
nvm - version
```
### Method 3: Installing NVM Using MacPorts
MacPorts is another package management system for macOS.
1. **Open Terminal**: Launch the Terminal application.
2. **Install MacPorts** (if not already installed):
- Download and install MacPorts from the [official MacPorts website](https://www.macports.org/install.php).
3. **Install NVM with MacPorts**: Run the following command to install NVM:
```
sudo port install nvm
```
4. **Load NVM**: Add the following lines to your shell profile file (e.g., `.zshrc` or `.bash_profile`):
```
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
. /opt/local/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh
```
5. **Apply Changes**: Run the following command to apply the changes:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
6. **Verify Installation**: Check if NVM is installed correctly by running:
```
nvm - version
```
## Managing Multiple Node.js Versions with NVM
Now that you have NVM installed, let's see how you can manage multiple Node.js versions.
### Installing a Specific Node.js Version
To install a specific version of Node.js, use the following command:
```sh
nvm install <version>
```
For example, to install Node.js version 14.17.0:
```sh
nvm install 14.17.0
```
### Listing Installed Node.js Versions
To list all installed Node.js versions, run:
```sh
nvm ls
```
### Switching Between Node.js Versions
To switch to a specific version of Node.js, use the following command:
```sh
nvm use <version>
```
For example, to switch to Node.js version 14.17.0:
```sh
nvm use 14.17.0
```
### Setting a Default Node.js Version
To set a default Node.js version, which will be used whenever you open a new terminal session, run:
```sh
nvm alias default <version>
```
For example, to set Node.js version 14.17.0 as the default:
```sh
nvm alias default 14.17.0
```
Conclusion
With NVM, managing multiple Node.js versions on macOS is a breeze. Whether you choose to install NVM using the curl command, Homebrew, or MacPorts, you now have the tools to easily switch between Node.js versions and ensure your projects run smoothly. Happy coding! | mesonu |
1,902,054 | GBase 8s Database Locking Issues and Performance Optimization Strategies | Database locking issues have always been a challenging aspect of database management. In the GBase 8s... | 0 | 2024-06-27T04:00:22 | https://dev.to/congcong/gbase-8s-database-locking-issues-and-performance-optimization-strategies-297p | Database locking issues have always been a challenging aspect of database management. In the GBase 8s database, table locks can lead to locking of table headers, data rows, and other components, which can result in various error messages. This article provides an in-depth understanding of the locking situations in GBase 8s and offers a series of effective resolution strategies.
## 1. Locking Situations
The 8s locking issue can lock components such as table headers and specific data rows. Different lock conflicts will trigger different error messages, such as `244: Could not do a physical-order read to fetch next row`. These are essentially lock conflict issues.
## 2. DML Statements (INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE)
Take the INSERT statement as an example. In a transaction scenario, executing a single insert statement:
```sql
begin work;
insert into tab1 values(1,'test');
```
When checking the current lock status, you may observe `HDR+IX` and `HDR+X`. If there is an X lock on the table, other sessions executing a `select * from tab1` under the default CR isolation level will throw the `244: Could not do a physical-order read to fetch next row` error.
```sql
Locks
address wtlist owner lklist type
tblsnum rowid key#/bsiz
49ca7798 0 d864d868 49ca96f0 HDR+IX
100266 0 0
49ca7820 0 d864d868 49ca7798 HDR+X
100266 103 0 I
```
## 3. Checking Locked Sessions with SID
Using `onstat -k` combined with `onstat -u` can locate specific sessions, though this method is less intuitive and more suitable for technical support staff.
**SQL Query Method:**
**Note:** Use lowercase table names.
```sql
-- Set isolation level to dirty read for quick system information access
SET ISOLATION TO DIRTY READ;
-- Check the lock status of a specific table
select username, sid, waiter, dbsname, tabname, rowidlk, keynum, type
from sysmaster:syslocks a, sysmaster:syssessions b
where b.sid = a.owner and a.tabname = 'tab1';
```
The returned information is as follows:
```sql
username gbasedbt
sid 39
waiter
dbsname mydb
tabname tab1
rowidlk 0
keynum 0
type IX
username gbasedbt
sid 39
waiter
dbsname mydb
tabname tab1
rowidlk 259
keynum 0
type X
```
Kill the session with the unreleased lock using `onmode -z 39`, or in a testing environment, ensure all open windows are committed before retrying.
## 4. Possibility of Lock Conflicts
In normal scenarios, an uncommitted transaction state will always result in locks being held. Common causes include:
- DML operations (INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE)
- DDL operations (CREATE TABLE | ALTER TABLE)
- TRUNCATE
- UPDATE STATISTICS
- CREATE INDEX
In short, most statements involving the creation, modification of database objects, and data manipulation will acquire write locks, which can lead to lock conflicts under the default CR isolation level.
## 5. Recommended Parameters
### Instance-Level Adjustments
The default database isolation level is COMMIT READ. It is recommended to use COMMITTED READ LAST COMMITTED (last committed read).
Check the instance parameter:
```sh
onstat -c | grep USELASTCOMMITTED
```
```sql
Your evaluation license will expire on 2024-08-13 00:00:00
# USELASTCOMMITTED - Controls the committed read isolation level.
USELASTCOMMITTED "NONE"
```
Dynamically adjust the instance parameter to set the CR isolation level to LC:
```sh
onmode -wf USELASTCOMMITTED="COMMITTED READ"
```
```sql
Your evaluation license will expire on 2024-08-13 00:00:00
Value of USELASTCOMMITTED has been changed to COMMITTED READ.
```
### Session-Level Adjustments
If unsure whether the LC isolation level meets business needs, you can set session parameters for debugging.
```sql
SET ISOLATION TO COMMITTED READ LAST COMMITTED;
```
For example, if a select statement throws a `244` error, you can manually set the LC isolation level and retry the query to check for continued errors.
## 6. Stored Procedure DEBUG TRACE
To debug, you can toggle trace at the desired sections with the following statements:
```sql
SET DEBUG FILE TO '/data/lilin/test0817/foo.trace';
trace on;
...
trace off;
```
Add similar text to facilitate tracking:
```sql
trace "trace LC 'insert into tab1 select * from tab1;'";
```
### Demonstration Example
```sql
create procedure p1 ()
SET DEBUG FILE TO '/data/lilin/test0813/foo.trace';
trace on;
trace "trace LC 'insert into tab1 select * from tab1;'";
SET ISOLATION TO COMMITTED READ LAST COMMITTED;
-- Executable
insert into tab1 select * from tab1;
trace "trace CR 'insert into tab1 select * from tab1;'";
SET ISOLATION TO COMMITTED READ;
-- Throws error
insert into tab1 select * from tab1;
trace off;
end procedure;
```
The returned text will include markers for easy navigation:
```sql
trace on
trace expression :trace LC 'insert into tab1 select * from tab1;'
set isolation to ;
insert into tab1
select *
from tab1;
trace expression :trace CR 'insert into tab1 select * from tab1;'
set isolation to committed read;
insert into tab1
select *
from tab1;
exception : looking for handler
SQL error = -244 ISAM error = -107 error string = = "tab1"
exception : no appropriate handler
```
If subroutine call tracking is not needed, use `trace procedure` to only track calls and return values.
## Conclusion
Although table locking issues are tricky, they can be effectively avoided and resolved with proper diagnosis and handling methods. The GBase 8s database provides a wealth of tools and parameter adjustment options to help manage database locks better. Hopefully, this article provides practical guidance and assistance. | congcong | |
1,902,046 | AWS S3 Bucket Website Hosting using Terraform | In previous blog Deploy Terraform resources to AWS using GitHub Actions via OIDC, I explained how to... | 0 | 2024-06-27T03:59:47 | https://dev.to/camillehe1992/aws-s3-bucket-website-hosting-using-terraform-4fk5 | aws, terraform, githubactions, s3 | In previous blog [Deploy Terraform resources to AWS using GitHub Actions via OIDC](https://dev.to/camillehe1992/deploy-terraform-resources-to-aws-using-github-actions-via-oidc-3b9g), I explained how to configure OpenID Connect within GitHub Actions workflows to authenticate with AWS, then demonstrated the process using a very simple Actions workflow that lists all buckets in my AWS account. As I mentioned, the common use case in real world is we define AWS infrastructure as code, provision AWS resources automatically and manage these cloud infrastructure in GitHub.
In this article, I’ll go one step further. Use GitHub Actions workflow to provision and manage a S3 website using S3 website static hosting feature. The S3 bucket related AWS infrastructure is defined using Terraform. The website content and Terraform code are saved in GitHub. Any code change will trigger a new workflow build automatically to sync its infrastructure status in AWS. After done, your website can be available through bucket static website endpoint from browser.
The whole process includes three sections:
1. Infrastructure as Code: Define AWS infrastructure as code using Terraform.
2. Website Static Content: Create index.html and 404.html files as the website static content.
3. GitHub Actions workflow: Create workflow to provision AWS infrastructure to AWS.
Let's get started.
## Prerequisites
### 1. Select Tools
**Terraform**: I choose [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) to provision and manage AWS infrastructure. You can use any other tools as you want, such as CloudFormation, CDK etc. The core concept is the same. Define your cloud infrastructure as code.
**GitHub**: Manage source code in a version control system, such as GItHub, Bitbucket, AWS CodeCommit, or Gitlab, etc.
**GitHub Actions**: CICD pipeline management tool, such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Bitbucket pipeline, AWS CodeBuild, etc.
### 2. Create Terraform Backend S3 Bucket
As Terraform uses persisted state data to keep track of the resources it manages, we use a backend to store state remotely. S3 bucket is commonly used to save the state of Terraform infrastructure in AWS. You can create a S3 bucket manually from AWS console, Click on Create bucket button, enter a meaningful bucket name, to make it simple, just keep all configuration as default, and click Create bucket.
The bucket name will be used in Step 3 workflow environment variable **TF_BACKEND_S3_BUCKET**.
### 3. Attach Policy on Deployment IAM Role
Remember we created a dedicated IAM role for deployment named **GitHubAction-AssumeRoleWithAction** in previous blog. In order to provision all AWS infrastructure that we used in this demo, you should add polices on the role. The easiest way is to attach an AWS managed policy **AmazonS3FullAccess** which grants full access to all buckets in your AWS account.
After done, move to coding part. You can find the sample code from GitHub repo: https://github.com/camillehe1992/demo-for-aws-deployment-via-oidc
## Step 1. Infrastructure as Code
I use Terraform to define all AWS infrastructure as code, so that AWS resources can be provisioned automatically through Actions workflow and be managed in GitHub. I won’t dive into the Terraform code, as that's not in the scope. All terraform related files are in terraform directory as below.
```bash
└── terraform
├── local.tf
├── main.tf
├── mime.json
├── outputs.tf
├── prod.tfvars
├── providers.tf
└── variables.tf
```
### Step 2. Website Static Content
Now, let’s prepare our demo website content. In public directory, create index.html, 404.html and image files. All the files in the directory are uploaded to S3 bucket as the website static content.
```bash
├── public
│ ├── 404.html
│ ├── images
│ │ ├── coffee.jpg
│ │ └── dogs.jpg
│ └── index.html
```
### Step 3. GitHub Actions Workflow
I created a new Actions workflow named **deploy.yaml** in **.github/workflows** directory.
```bash
├── .github
│ └── workflows
│ ├── deploy.yaml
│ └── get-started.yaml
...
```
Comparing with **get-started.yaml** workflow, Here are main updates:
- Add new environment variables in env block and configure these variables in GitHub Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Variable -> repository variable.
```yaml
env:
...
TF_BACKEND_S3_BUCKET: ${{ vars.TF_BACKEND_S3_BUCKET }}
ENVIRONMENT: prod
NICKNAME: demo-for-aws-deployment-via-oidc
```
**TF_BACKEND_S3_BUCKET**: the S3 bucket name of Terraform state files.
**ENVIRONMENT**: is part of Terraform backend S3 object key. Meanwhile, it's used as the suffix of website bucket name.
**NICKNAME**: is part of Terraform backend S3 object key.
- Add three steps in job block after authentication:
```yaml
- name: Terraform init
working-directory: terraform
run: |
terraform init -reconfigure \
-backend-config="bucket=$TF_BACKEND_S3_BUCKET" \
-backend-config="region=$AWS_REGION" \
-backend-config="key=$NICKNAME/prod/$AWS_REGION/terraform.tfstate"
# An exit code of 0 indicated no changes, 1 a terraform failure, 2 there are pending changes.
- name: Terraform plan
id: tf-plan
working-directory: terraform
run: |
export exitcode=0
terraform plan \
-var-file=$ENVIRONMENT.tfvars -detailed-exitcode -no-color -out tfplan || export exitcode=$?
echo "exitcode=$exitcode" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
if [ $exitcode -eq 1 ]; then
echo Terraform Plan Failed!
exit 1
else
exit 0
fi
# Apply the pending changes
- name: Terraform apply
if: ${{ steps.tf-plan.outputs.exitcode == 2 }}
working-directory: terraform
run: |
terraform apply -auto-approve tfplan -no-color
```
Steps:
**Terraform init**: Run terraform init CLI with backend configuration
**Terraform plan**: Run terraform plan CLI to generate a plan.
**Terraform apply**: Run terraform apply CLI to apply the plan if there is pending change on it.
Commit and push to remote. A new workflow appears in Actions -> workflow named **Deploy Static Website** with running build.
Here is the detail steps:
All content in S3 bucket:
You can find the _website_endpoint_ from the end of Terraform apply logs. Or go to AWS console, find your website bucket -> Properties. Scroll to the bottom of the page, then you will find the Bucket website endpoint. Depending on your Region, your Amazon S3 website endpoint follows one of these two formats.
* http://bucket-name.s3-website-Region.amazonaws.com
* http://bucket-name.s3-website.Region.amazonaws.com
You can visit your website from browser now. Add path after the endpoint that doesn't exist, an 404 page is returned.
Correct URL:
Incorrect URL:
## Summary
You should know how to provision and manage AWS infrastructure using GitHub and Terraform. Now you can provision more AWS services or even other Cloud infrastructure as you want following the same methodology.

Logistic regression predicts the probability of binary outcomes based on input features.
This article dives into the mathematical foundation of logistic regression.
## Understanding Likelihood
**Likelihood**, refers to the chance of observing a specific outcome or event given a particular model or set of conditions.
**Breakdown to understand better:**
- **Focus on Specific Outcome:** Unlike probability, which deals with the general chance of an event happening, likelihood focuses on a specific outcome given something else is true.
- **Model-Based:** We use the model to calculate the likelihood of observing a specific data set assuming the model's parameters are true.
- **Higher Likelihood:** Higher the likelihood of the model means parameters are better fit for explaining the data.
## Example
Imagine you have a coin that might be biased, and you flip it 5 times, getting the results:
Heads, Tails, Heads, Heads, Tails. You want to estimate the probability θ of getting heads.
**1-> Suppose θ = 0.5:**
- The likelihood of getting the sequence is:
L(0.5) = P(H) x P(T) X P(H) X P(H) X P(T)
= 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.03125
**2-> Suppose θ = 0.7:**
- The likelihood of getting the same sequence is :
L(0.7) = P(H) x P(T) X P(H) X P(H) X P(T)
= 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.1029
## Difference between likelihood and probability
- **Probability:** Focuses on the general chance of an event happening in the long run.
- **Likelihood:** Focuses on the chance of observing a specific outcome given a particular scenario.
## Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE)
Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a method used to estimate the parameters of the statistical model. The goal is to find the parameter values that maximize the likelihood function, with best fitting the observed data.
## Step-by-Step
1. **Define the Likelihood Function:** The likelihood function L(θ) represents the probability of observing the data as a function of the model parameters θ.
2. **Log-Likelihood Function:** For mathematical convenience, we often use the log-likelihood function L(θ), which is the natural log of likelihood function:
L(θ) = log L(θ)
3. **Maximize the log-likelihood:** Find the parameter values that maximize the log-likelihood function. This involves taking the derivative of the log-likelihood with respect to the parameters and setting it to zero to solve for the parameters.
## MLE in Logistic Regression
Logistic regression models the probability of a binary outcome (success/failure) based on input features x.
where Xi are the input features, β are the parameters to be estimated, and yi is the binary outcome.
## Log-Likelihood Function:
The likelihood of observing the given data under logistic regression is:
## Deriving the MLE for Logistic Regression
To Find the MLE for β, we need to maximize the log-likelihood function. This involves:
1. **Calculating the Gradient:** Compute the derivative of the log-likelihood with respect to β.
2. **Optimization:** Use an optimization algorithm (e.g., gradient descent) to find the parameter values that maximize the log-likelihood.
## Practical Implementation
```
import numpy as np
import scipy.optimize as opt
X = np.array([[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [1, 5]]) # Adding a column of ones for the intercept
y = np.array([0, 0, 1, 1])
# Sigmoid function
def sigmoid(z):
return 1 / (1 + np.exp(-z))
# Log-likelihood function
def log_likelihood(beta, X, y):
z = np.dot(X, beta)
return -np.sum(y * np.log(sigmoid(z)) + (1 - y) * np.log(1 - sigmoid(z)))
beta_init = np.zeros(X.shape[1])
# Optimization
result = opt.minimize(log_likelihood, beta_init, args=(X, y), method='BFGS')
beta_hat = result.x
print("Parameters", beta_hat)
```
## Conclusion
Understanding the mathematical foundations of logistic regression and maximum likelihood estimation is essential for effectively applying these techniques in machine learning. By maximizing the likelihood function, logistic regression identifies the parameters β that best fit the observed data, enabling accurate predictions of binary outcomes based on input features | harsimranjit_singh_0133dc | |

They ensure that users have a seamless and effective experience by speeding up the loading of websites. Given that the majority of people use smartphones to access the internet these days, AMP is essential for web developers. In addition to increasing consumer satisfaction, websites with faster loading times also perform better in search engine rankings.
AMP was introduced by [Google](https://www.google.com/) in 2015. The idea was to create a way for web pages to load quickly on mobile devices, as slow-loading pages often frustrate users. Google collaborated with several major companies, including Twitter(now known as [X](https://x.com/?lang=en&mx=2)), to develop AMP. Since its launch, AMP has undergone various updates to improve its performance and capabilities.
## Technical Aspects of AMP
AMP consists of three main components:
- AMP HTML: This is a simplified version of HTML. It restricts certain elements to ensure the page loads quickly.
- AMP JavaScript: This JavaScript library ensures that the page content loads fast without blocking the rendering of the page.
- AMP Cache: Google’s AMP Cache is a proxy-based content delivery network ([CDN](https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/cdn/#:~:text=A%20content%20delivery%20network%20(CDN,loading%20for%20data%2Dheavy%20applications.)) that delivers AMP documents. It fetches AMP pages, caches them, and improves page performance automatically.
## How AMP Works
AMP pages work by using a lightweight HTML structure, asynchronous JavaScript, and optimized CSS. This means the page elements load independently, preventing any one element from blocking the entire page from rendering. CSS is also optimized to ensure quick loading times.
## AMP Validation
AMP pages need to be validated to ensure they meet the standards. The AMP Validator checks if the page conforms to AMP specifications. If there are errors, the validator highlights them, making it easy for developers to fix these issues.
## Benefits of AMP
### Improved Mobile Experience
One of the primary benefits of AMP is faster load times. This leads to reduced bounce rates, as users are less likely to leave a site that loads quickly. Enhanced user engagement is another plus, as a faster site keeps users more interested and engaged with the content.
### SEO Advantages
AMP pages often rank higher in search engine results. Google prioritizes fast-loading pages, so using AMP can increase your site's visibility. Additionally, AMP pages are more likely to appear in Google News and the Top Stories carousel, giving your content even more exposure.
### Monetization and Ad Performance
AMP also benefits advertisers. Ads on AMP pages load faster and are more viewable, leading to better ad performance metrics. This means higher click-through rates and better overall ad revenue.
## Challenges
While AMP provides numerous benefits, it is not without its challenges and criticisms. Understanding these can help developers and businesses make informed decisions about implementing AMP.
### Limitations of AMP
Restricted Design and Functionality
One of the main criticisms of AMP is its restrictive nature. To achieve fast loading times, AMP imposes strict guidelines on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS usage. This can limit the creativity and functionality of web pages. Developers might find it challenging to implement complex interactive features, custom styles, or unique designs within the confines of AMP.
### Dependency on Google’s Infrastructure
AMP pages often rely on Google’s infrastructure, specifically the AMP Cache. While this ensures faster load times, it also means that developers are somewhat dependent on Google’s servers. This centralization raises concerns about data privacy and ownership, as Google can cache and serve content, potentially affecting how the content is controlled and accessed.
### Limited Analytics
Although AMP supports various analytics providers, tracking user behavior can be more complicated compared to traditional web pages. AMP’s performance optimizations sometimes conflict with third-party scripts, including analytics scripts, making it harder to gather comprehensive data about user interactions.
## Best Practices for Implementing AMP
Implementing AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) can significantly enhance your website's performance on mobile devices. However, to fully leverage its benefits, it's essential to follow best practices. Here are some key guidelines to ensure your AMP pages are optimized for speed, performance, and user experience.
### Minimize CSS and Inline Styles
AMP restricts CSS to 50KB to ensure quick loading times. Minimize your CSS by removing unnecessary styles and using a compact, efficient style sheet. Avoid inline styles as much as possible, as they can quickly add to the overall CSS size. Use external stylesheets and combine multiple stylesheets into one.
### Load Fonts Efficiently
Loading fonts can significantly impact page load times. Use the amp-font component to control font loading. This ensures that fonts are loaded asynchronously, preventing them from blocking the rendering of the page. Preload key fonts to reduce the time they take to load.
### Validate AMP Pages
Use the AMP Validator to check your pages for compliance with AMP standards. The validator identifies errors and provides suggestions for fixing them. Ensuring that your AMP pages pass validation is crucial for them to be cached and served by Google’s AMP Cache, which enhances their performance.
### Implement Smooth Transitions
Use AMP’s built-in support for animations and transitions to enhance the user experience without compromising performance. Avoid heavy JavaScript animations and instead use AMP’s CSS animations, which are optimized for performance.
## Conclusion
Amplified Mobile Pages (AMP) are a powerful tool for improving mobile web performance. They offer numerous benefits, from faster load times and better SEO rankings to improved ad performance. While there are some challenges and criticisms, the ongoing development and community support for AMP indicate a promising future. Exploring and adopting AMP can significantly enhance your mobile web experience, providing users with fast and efficient access to your content.

La [versión beta de React 19](https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19) ya está disponible para probar en npm. Aunque todavía no está lista para que actualicemos nuestros proyectos, es un buen momento para aprender cuáles son las novedades.
## useTransition
Este hook ya existía, pero la novedad es que **ahora permite llamar funciones asíncronas**, como un _request_ (llamada) a un API. El propósito de `useTransition` es actualizar el estado sin bloquear el UI para el usuario. Esto se hace al marcar una actualización de estado como una **transición**.
Supongamos que tenemos una función `updateName()` para que el usuario actualice su nombre. Internamente esta función hace un request al API y devuelve un `Promise` (promesa). Luego de que el usuario escribe su nombre en un `input`, llamamos a esa función. Si queríamos renderizar el UI para que la operación se muestre como pendiente, por ejemplo deshabilitando el botón de guardar para no enviar más de un request a la vez, teníamos que hacer seguimiento con una variable de estado, posiblemente con `useState()`:
```tsx
function UpdateNameControl({}) {
const [name, setName] = useState("");
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
// Seguimiento de la operación asíncrona
const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false);
const handleSubmit = async () => {
// Marcar la operación como pendiente
setIsPending(true);
const error = await updateName(name);
// Marcar la operación como completada
setIsPending(false);
if (error) {
setError(error);
return;
}
};
return (
<div>
<input value={name} onChange={(event) => setName(event.target.value)} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Update
</button>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
Ahora veamos cómo nos ayuda `useTransition()`. Este hook devuelve un array con el estado de la operación (`isPending`) y una función (`startTransition`) para manejar la operación asíncrona:
```tsx
function UpdateNameControl({}) {
const [name, setName] = useState("");
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
const handleSubmit = () => {
startTransition(async () => {
const error = await updateName(name);
if (error) {
setError(error);
return;
}
})
};
return (
<div>
<input value={name} onChange={(event) => setName(event.target.value)} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Update
</button>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
En el callback `handleSubmit()` ahora llamamos a `startTransition()`, y como parámetro le pasamos la función asíncrona. Cuando el usuario presione el botón y el callback llame a `startTransition`, el valor de `isPending` pasará a ser `true`, lo cual renderizará el botón deshabilitado. Cuando `updateName()` resuelva su promesa, manejamos el error si es necesario, y al terminar la transición, automáticamente `isPending` pasará a `false`, habilitando nuevamente el botón.
Como vemos, `useTransition()` nos ayuda a mantener una UI reactiva e interactiva mientras se procesan las operaciones asíncronas como una llamada al API.
## Actions
Las funciones que utilizan transiciones asíncronas ahora se llaman *actions* (acciones), y ayudan con el envío de datos al API:
- Proveen el estado de si está pendiente, como vimos en el ejemplo con `isPending`.
- Soportan el nuevo hook `useOptimistic` (que se explica más adelante en este artículo) para actualizaciones optimistas donde se prefiere responder al usuario instantáneamente mientras se está enviando el request.
- Proveen manejo de errores: así se puede mostrar un [Error Boundary](https://es.react.dev/reference/react/Component#catching-rendering-errors-with-an-error-boundary) (barrera de error) cuando falla un request.
- Al elemento de formulario `<form>` se le puede pasar una función en el prop `action` o `formAction` para hacer el _submit_ del mismo:
```tsx
<form action={actionFunction}>
```
## useActionState
Este hook tiene el propósito de actualizar el estado en base al resultado de un _form action_ (acción de formulario). Recibe una función como action, y devuelve una action lista para ser llamada.
Volviendo al ejemplo de actualización del nombre de un usuario, se puede simplificar utilizando `useActionState` de la siguiente manera:
```tsx
// Using <form> Actions and useActionState
function UpdateNameControl({ name, setName }) {
const [error, submitAction, isPending] = useActionState(
async (previousState, formData) => {
const error = await updateName(formData.get("name"));
if (error) {
return error;
}
redirect("/path");
return null;
},
null,
);
return (
<form action={submitAction}>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>Update</button>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
</form>
);
}
```
## useFormStatus
Otro hook nuevo, en este caso tiene la utilidad de acceder al estado del formulario en un componente hijo (como si el formulario fuera un `Context`). Esto permite escribir componentes de diseño sin hacer prop-drilling:
```tsx
function SaveButton() {
const { pending } = useFormStatus();
return <button type="submit" disabled={pending} />
}
```
## useOptimistic
Este hook está basado en el patrón de actualizaciones optimistas, esto se refiere a cuando enviamos un request al API y queremos renderizar el UI de tal manera que damos por hecho que el request va a ser exitoso, por eso el término optimista.
En este ejemplo, antes de llamar al API estamos llamando `setOptimisticName()`, lo cual hará que optimisticName se renderice con ese valor inmediatamente mientras el request está en progreso. Cuando el request se complete o si falla, `optimisticName` volverá al `currentName`:
```typescript
function UserForm({currentName, onUpdateName}) {
const [optimisticName, setOptimisticName] = useOptimistic(currentName);
const submitAction = async formData => {
const newName = formData.get("name");
setOptimisticName(newName);
const updatedName = await updateName(newName);
onUpdateName(updatedName);
};
return (
<form action={submitAction}>
<p>Your name is: {optimisticName}</p>
<p>
<label>Change Name:</label>
<input
type="text"
name="name"
disabled={currentName !== optimisticName}
/>
</p>
</form>
);
}
```
## use
Con este nombre, uno pudiera pensar que es un hook, pero en realidad no es un hook, sino un nuevo API de React que se puede llamar en el renderizado de un componente o hook. Recibe como parámetro una promesa o un Context.
Cuando se lo llama con una promesa, React va a suspender el renderizado hasta que se resuelva la promesa. Combinado con [Suspense](https://es.react.dev/reference/react/Suspense), podemos mostrar un componente o elemento alternativo mientras la promesa no esté resuelta:
```tsx
import { use } from 'react';
function Comments({commentsPromise}) {
// `use` suspenderá hasta que la promesa resuelva
const comments = use(commentsPromise);
return comments.map(comment => <p key={comment.id}>{comment}</p>);
}
function Page({commentsPromise}) {
// Cuando `use` suspenda en el componente Comments,
// Suspense mostrará el fallback o componente/elemento alternativo
return (
<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
<Comments commentsPromise={commentsPromise} />
</Suspense>
)
}
```
Ahora bien, use() no solamente acepta una promesa sino tambien un Context. Esto permite acceder a un Context de manera condicional:
```typescript
import {use} from 'react';
import ThemeContext from './ThemeContext'
function Heading({children}) {
if (children == null) {
return null;
}
// Esto no funcionaría con useContext
// por el return temprano.
const theme = use(ThemeContext);
return (
<h1 style={{color: theme.color}}>
{children}
</h1>
);
}
```
Esto muestra una característica interesante de `use()`: se lo puede llamar condicionalmente en el renderizado de un componente o hook, algo que no podemos hacer con un hook.
## ref como un prop
Ahora se puede acceder `ref` como un prop directamente, sin tener que utilizar `forwardRef`. Esto se utiliza para exponer un nodo DOM al componente padre. Veamos primero cómo teníamos que hacer antes, por ejemplo para exponer el nodo de un input a un formulario padre:
```typescript
const MyInput = forwardRef(function MyInput(props, ref) {
const { label, ...otherProps } = props;
return (
<label>
{label}
<input {...otherProps} ref={ref} />
</label>
);
});
function Form() {
const ref = useRef(null);
function handleClick() {
ref.current.focus();
}
return (
<form>
<MyInput label="Ingresa tu nombre" ref={ref} />
<button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
Editar
</button>
</form>
);
}
```
Ahora sencillamente podemos acceder al `ref` como un prop, sin utilizar `forwardRef`:
```tsx
const MyInput = forwardRef(function MyInput(props, ref) {
const { label, ...otherProps } = props;
return (
<label>
{label}
<input {...otherProps} ref={ref} />
</label>
);
});
```
Esto se puede hacer solamente con functional components (componentes funcionales) y no con class componentes (componentes construidos con clases) porque estos últimos hacen referencia a la instancia del componente.
## Context como provider
Ahora se puede renderizar `<Context>` como un provider en vez de con `<Context.Provider>`:
```tsx
const ThemeContext = createContext('');
function App({children}) {
return (
<ThemeContext value="dark">
{children}
</ThemeContext>
);
}
```
## Nuevo Compilador
El nuevo compilador se encargará de la [memoizar](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoizaci%C3%B3n) (almacenar en caché) valores o funciones de forma automática. Para memoizar teníamos que utilizar `useMemo`, `useCallback`, y `React.memo`.
Pero para que la aplicación tenga un buen rendimiento, había que entender bien cuándo memoizar y cuándo no hacerlo,
para que no tener actualizaciones que no son eficientes. Con el nuevo compilador ya no tenemos que preocuparnos por esto,
no será necesario agregar código para memoizar (no más `useMemo`, `useCallback`, y `React.memo`).
El compilador se vale de su conocimiento de JavaScript y las reglas de react para memoizar valores o grupos de valores en los componentes y hooks. El resultado de utilizar este compilador se notará en el código donde no se haya implementado la memoización de forma correcta: al realizarse ahora de forma automática, mejorará el rendimiento de la aplicación.
## Conclusión
React 19 está cargado de mejoras prometedoras. Una vez que sea estable, será muy bueno probar el nuevo compilador y los nuevos hooks relacionados con las acciones que simplificarán el código y darán herramientas para mejorar la experiencia del usuario. | iencotech |

用户中心：集中式身份管理
用户中心，通常称为用户管理系统 （UMS），充当集中式存储库，用于在特定应用程序或平台生态系统中存储和管理用户身份、配置文件和访问权限。它的主要功能围绕着维护一个全面的用户信息数据库，其中包括个人详细信息、偏好、角色和权限。
用户中心的主要特点：
集中式身份存储：所有用户数据都存储在一个地方，确保一致性和易于管理。
精细访问控制：管理员可以定义和强制实施针对不同用户角色或组定制的访问权限。
用户配置文件管理：详细的用户配置文件允许个性化的用户体验和有针对性的通信。
集成能力：通常与平台内的其他系统集成，促进各种服务的无缝功能。
用户中心对于需要强大身份管理功能的平台至关重要，可确保管理员完全控制谁访问系统内的内容。它们为用户身份验证和授权提供了一种结构化的方法，增强了安全性和对数据保护法规的遵守。
单点登录 （SSO）：简化访问
相比之下，单点登录 （SSO） 简化了跨多个相关但独立的系统或应用程序的用户身份验证过程。SSO 不要求用户单独登录每个系统，而是允许用户进行一次身份验证并访问所有连接的系统，而无需重新输入凭据。这通过减少登录提示的数量来简化用户体验，并通过集中身份验证来增强安全性。
单点登录 （SSO） 的主要特点：
统一认证：用户只需登录一次，即可访问多个系统或应用程序。
增强的用户便利性：减少密码疲劳，提高工作效率。
集中控制：管理员可以集中管理用户访问权限，必要时只需一次操作即可撤销所有系统的访问权限。
安全优势：最大限度地降低密码相关漏洞的风险，并增强对安全策略的合规性。
SSO 在用户定期与多个互连系统（如企业应用程序或协作平台）交互的环境中特别有用。它提高了效率和用户满意度，同时保持了严格的安全措施。
选择正确的解决方案

Today, I'll talk about all the integrations I've made to my website to make it attractive.
## Introduction
For starters, you'll need to know the JavaScript and React basics, but we'll not cover that in this post, rather, we're going to immediately talk about design.
## Choosing content
When making a website, you need to choose what content will go on it, today we're going to focus on portfolios, in which, you don't want every component to be dynamic, as an example, the Awards component on my website
This section barely changes, and it doesn't make any sense to create an API to maintain that section, given that changes occur say, once every 3 months, and the changes are minimum, you can just modify the section and re-deploy the website. Same goes for my "About" section.
### So, what can we make dynamic?
I chose what content is dynamic in my website following this criteria:
1. Does the content change regularly?
2. Can I implement it using an API?
3. Is the information relevant to the website I'm creating?
When evaluating the third condition, if you're creating a portfolio (or website for yourself) you can consider that everything that is of your liking could be relevant to the website, as a website made for yourself is exactly meant to make people know a little bit more about you.
## Creating the dynamic content
For this example, I'll use my portfolio's dynamic colour palette; if you want to follow this pathway, you're more than welcome to do so.
In my website, the whole design changes when a song is played on Spotify, this is thanks to the dynamic colour palette feature, similar to the Monet engine on Android 12 or higher.
In this case, the album's cover is obtained using the Spotify's API, then, passed onto an Image object in JavaScript, and then, that Image object is used with the ColorThief library in order to create a colour palette consisting of six colours, a primary, a secondary, a tertiary and their corresponding text colours (either #FFF, white or #000, black), the last of which is obtained using a math algorithm rather than a library.
First, the Spotify API is fetched using an API endpoint on my website's end (using Next.js backend)and it's corresponding controller.
The code for the controller goes as follows
```
const getAccessToken = async () => {
const res = await fetch("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Basic ${process.env["SPOTIFY_AUTH_BASIC"]}`,
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
body: new URLSearchParams({
grant_type: "refresh_token",
refresh_token: process.env["SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN"],
}),
});
return res.json();
};
export const getNowPlaying = async () => {
const { access_token } = await getAccessToken(),
nowPlaying = await fetch(
"https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/currently-playing",
{
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${access_token}`,
},
}
);
return nowPlaying;
};
```
As you can see, it obtains credentials from the environment variables and makes a request to the Spotify API using the access token obtained through the getAccessToken() function. The getNowPlaying() function retrieves information about the currently playing song on the user's Spotify account, which is then used to obtain the album cover image.
Once the album cover image is obtained, it is passed onto the ColorThief library which generates a color palette. This color palette is then used to style the website, with the primary color being used for the background and the secondary and tertiary colors being used for accents. This is done using a React Context Provider, and this is the code for it:
```
import { createContext, useState, useEffect, useContext } from "react";
import ColorThief from "../node_modules/colorthief/dist/color-thief.mjs";
export const MusicContext = createContext();
export const useMusic = () => useContext(MusicContext);
export const MusicProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [music, setMusic] = useState({ isPlaying: false });
const musicLogic = () => {
fetch("/api/now-playing")
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((data) => {
if (!data.isPlaying) return;
console.log(data);
const img = new Image(),
colorthief = new ColorThief();
img.crossOrigin = "Anonymous";
img.src = data.albumImage;
img.addEventListener("load", () => {
try {
const palette = colorthief.getPalette(img);
const primaryBg = `rgb(${palette[0][0]}, ${palette[0][1]}, ${palette[0][2]})`,
secondaryBg = `rgb(${palette[1][0]}, ${palette[1][1]}, ${palette[1][2]})`,
tertiaryBg = `rgb(${palette[2][0]}, ${palette[2][1]}, ${palette[2][2]})`,
primaryText =
palette[0][0] * 0.299 +
palette[0][1] * 0.587 +
palette[0][2] * 0.114 >
180
? "#000"
: "#fff",
secondaryText =
palette[1][0] * 0.299 +
palette[1][1] * 0.587 +
palette[1][2] * 0.114 >
180
? "#000"
: "#fff",
tertiaryText =
palette[2][0] * 0.299 +
palette[2][1] * 0.587 +
palette[2][2] * 0.114 >
180
? "#000"
: "#fff";
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--primaryBgColor",
primaryBg
);
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--secondaryBgColor",
secondaryBg
);
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--primaryTextColor",
primaryText
);
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--secondaryTextColor",
secondaryText
);
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--tertiaryTextColor",
tertiaryText
);
document.documentElement.style.setProperty(
"--tertiaryBgColor",
tertiaryBg
);
setMusic({
...data,
primaryBg: `${palette[0][0]}, ${palette[0][1]}, ${palette[0][2]}`,
});
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
});
});
};
useEffect(() => {
musicLogic();
const interval = setInterval(() => {
musicLogic();
}, 30000);
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, []);
return (
<MusicContext.Provider value={{ music }}>{children}</MusicContext.Provider>
);
};
```
## Conclusion
Creating a dynamic website can be a lot of work, but it's worth it. By making use of APIs and libraries, you can create a website that not only looks good but also provides a great user experience. When deciding what content to make dynamic, remember to evaluate how frequently it changes and whether it's relevant to your website. With the right tools and some creativity, you can create a dynamic website that stands out from the rest. | ulisesvina |

The traditional dotenv... | 0 | 2024-06-27T03:31:23 | https://dev.to/adarshbp/the-problems-with-dotenv-and-how-dotenvx-solves-them-35io | Managing environment variables is crucial but can be fraught with challenges. The traditional dotenv approach, while popular, has notable shortcomings:
- **Leaking Your .env File:** This is the most significant risk, potentially exposing sensitive information.
- **Juggling Multiple Environments:** Managing different configurations for development, testing, and production can be cumbersome.
- **Inconsistency Across Platforms:** Behavior can vary depending on the operating system or environment.
## Introducing dotenvx: A Comprehensive Solution
[dotenvx](https://dotenvx.com/docs/quickstart) addresses these issues effectively with three key features: Run Anywhere, Multiple Environments, and Encryption.
**1. Run Anywhere: Consistency Across Platforms**
dotenvx ensures consistent behavior across all languages, frameworks, and platforms. By using the command dotenvx run -- your-cmd, you can inject your environment variables at runtime, ensuring uniformity.
Example:
```sh
$ echo "Name=Adarsh" > .env
$ echo "console.log('Name' + process.env.Name)" > index.js
$ node index.js
Name undefined # without dotenvx
$ dotenvx run -- node index.js
Name Adarsh # with dotenvx
```
This consistency means your Python, Node.js, and Rust applications will behave the same way when using dotenvx. Install dotenvx via npm, brew, curl, docker, Windows, and more.
**2. Multiple Environments: Simplified Environment Management**
Managing multiple environments is straightforward with dotenvx. Create different .env files for each environment and use the -f flag to specify which one to load.
Example:
```sh
$ echo "HELLO=production" > .env.production
$ echo "console.log('Hello ' + process.env.HELLO)" > index.js
$ dotenvx run -f .env.production -- node index.js
[dotenvx][info] loading env (1) from .env.production
Hello production
```
You can also compose multiple environments by using multiple -f flags:
```sh
$ echo "HELLO=local" > .env.local
$ echo "HELLO=World" > .env
$ echo "console.log('Hello ' + process.env.HELLO)" > index.js
$ dotenvx run -f .env.local -f .env -- node index.js
[dotenvx] injecting env (1) from .env.local, .env
Hello local
```
This flexibility cleanly solves the problem of juggling multiple environments.
**3. Encryption: Securing Your .env Files**
The most groundbreaking feature of dotenvx is the ability to encrypt your .env files with a single command, significantly enhancing security.
Example:
```sh
$ dotenvx encrypt
✔ encrypted (.env)
#/-------------------[DOTENV_PUBLIC_KEY]--------------------/
#/ public-key encryption for .env files /
#/ [how it works](https://dotenvx.com/encryption) /
#/----------------------------------------------------------/
DOTENV_PUBLIC_KEY="03f8b376234c4f2f0445f392a12e80f3a84b4b0d1e0c3df85c494e45812653c22a"

```
dotenvx generates a DOTENV_PUBLIC_KEY for encryption and a DOTENV_PRIVATE_KEY for decryption using public-key cryptography. This means even if your .env file is leaked, the information remains secure without the decryption key.
## Conclusion
dotenvx significantly improves the management of environment variables by addressing the three major issues with the traditional dotenv approach. With consistent behavior across platforms, easy management of multiple environments, and robust encryption, [dotenvx](https://dotenvx.com/docs/quickstart) sets a new standard for configuration management.

1,902,038 | Create a wxPython Application with Math Text Display | This lab will guide you through creating a wxPython application that displays math text in a wx.Bitmap for display in various controls on wxPython. It uses the Matplotlib library to convert text to images and the wxPython library to display the images. | 27,880 | 2024-06-27T03:23:34 | https://labex.io/tutorials/python-mathtext-wx-sgskip-48826 | coding, programming, tutorial, matplotlib |
## Introduction
This lab will guide you through creating a wxPython application that displays math text in a wx.Bitmap for display in various controls on wxPython. It uses the Matplotlib library to convert text to images and the wxPython library to display the images.
### VM Tips
After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the **Notebook** tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice.
Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook.
If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
## Install Required Libraries
To complete this lab, you need to have the following libraries installed:
- wxPython
- Matplotlib
You can install these libraries using pip.
```python
pip install wxPython
pip install matplotlib
```
## Create a wxPython Application
Create a new Python file and import the required libraries.
```python
import wx
import numpy as np
from io import BytesIO
from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
```
## Convert Mathtext to wx.Bitmap
Define a function that converts math text to a wx.Bitmap. This function uses Matplotlib to draw the text at position (0, 0) but then relies on `facecolor="none"` and `bbox_inches="tight", pad_inches=0` to get a transparent mask that is then loaded into a wx.Bitmap.
```python
def mathtext_to_wxbitmap(s):
fig = Figure(facecolor="none")
text_color = (
np.array(wx.SystemSettings.GetColour(wx.SYS_COLOUR_WINDOWTEXT)) / 255)
fig.text(0, 0, s, fontsize=10, color=text_color)
buf = BytesIO()
fig.savefig(buf, format="png", dpi=150, bbox_inches="tight", pad_inches=0)
s = buf.getvalue()
return wx.Bitmap.NewFromPNGData(s, len(s))
```
## Define Functions
Define a list of functions that the application will display. Each function is defined by a math text and a lambda function that takes an input value and returns an output value.
```python
functions = [
(r'$\sin(2 \pi x)$', lambda x: np.sin(2*np.pi*x)),
(r'$\frac{4}{3}\pi x^3$', lambda x: (4/3)*np.pi*x**3),
(r'$\cos(2 \pi x)$', lambda x: np.cos(2*np.pi*x)),
(r'$\log(x)$', lambda x: np.log(x))
]
```
## Create a Canvas Frame
Create a new class that inherits from wx.Frame. This class creates a canvas that displays the selected function.
```python
class CanvasFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
super().__init__(parent, -1, title, size=(550, 350))
self.figure = Figure()
self.axes = self.figure.add_subplot()
self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)
self.change_plot(0)
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.add_buttonbar()
self.sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.Fit()
```
## Add a Button Bar
Add a button bar to the application that displays icons for each function. When a button is clicked, the application will display the corresponding function.
```python
def add_buttonbar(self):
self.button_bar = wx.Panel(self)
self.button_bar_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
self.sizer.Add(self.button_bar, 0, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
for i, (mt, func) in enumerate(functions):
bm = mathtext_to_wxbitmap(mt)
button = wx.BitmapButton(self.button_bar, 1000 + i, bm)
self.button_bar_sizer.Add(button, 1, wx.GROW)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnChangePlot, button)
self.button_bar.SetSizer(self.button_bar_sizer)
```
## Add a Toolbar
Add a toolbar to the application that allows the user to zoom in and out, pan, and save the plot as an image. This toolbar is added to the bottom of the frame.
```python
def add_toolbar(self):
self.toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Wx(self.canvas)
self.toolbar.Realize()
self.sizer.Add(self.toolbar, 0, wx.LEFT | wx.EXPAND)
self.toolbar.update()
```
## Change the Plot
Define a function that changes the plot based on the selected function. This function takes a plot_number as input and changes the plot accordingly.
```python
def change_plot(self, plot_number):
t = np.arange(1.0, 3.0, 0.01)
s = functions[plot_number][1](t)
self.axes.clear()
self.axes.plot(t, s)
self.canvas.draw()
```
## Create the Application
Create a new class that inherits from wx.App. This class creates the frame and starts the event loop.
```python
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = CanvasFrame(None, "wxPython mathtext demo app")
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show(True)
return True
```
## Run the Application
Run the application by creating an instance of the MyApp class.
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = MyApp()
app.MainLoop()
```

## Understand the Abstract Factory Design Pattern
I assume you're already familiar with design patterns; if not, let me provide a brief explanation. A design pattern is a reusable solution to a common problem in software design.
Let's start with the Abstract Factory pattern. The Abstract Factory pattern provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. This approach helps in designing a flexible and extensible system by decoupling the client code from the actual object creation process.
Quite a technical definition, right? Haha, don't worry. Let me simplify this with an example so you can explain it to an interviewer.
Think of a company that manufactures cars. This company wants to produce different types of cars: electric and petrol. Each type of car requires specific parts, such as engines and wheels. The Abstract Factory pattern helps the company manage this complexity by organising the creation of these parts into families without needing to specify the exact classes. In the next section, I will discuss and implement the problem the Abstract Factory pattern solves and how this pattern is useful.
## Identify the Problem
Consider a scenario where you are tasked with creating a furniture shop simulator. The simulator requires you to manage different families of related products, such as chairs, sofas, and coffee tables, in various styles like Modern, Victorian, and ArtDeco.
Problem:
1. How to ensure that furniture pieces from the same family and style are created together.
2. How to allow for easy addition of new product families or styles without altering existing code.
I hope you have a basic understanding of the types of problems we encounter when writing code and how the Abstract Factory Pattern can be helpful. [To read about solution Follow official page](https://interviewspreparation.com/abstract-factory-design-pattern/#understand-the-solution).

private readonly ICoffeeTable _coffeeTable;
public FurnitureClient(IFurnitureFactory factory)
{
_chair = factory.CreateChair();
_sofa = factory.CreateSofa();
_coffeeTable = factory.CreateCoffeeTable();
}
public void DescribeFurniture()
{
_chair.SitOn();
_sofa.LieOn();
_coffeeTable.PlaceItems();
}
}
// Usage
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IFurnitureFactory factory = new ModernFurnitureFactory();
FurnitureClient client = new FurnitureClient(factory);
client.DescribeFurniture();
factory = new VictorianFurnitureFactory();
client = new FurnitureClient(factory);
client.DescribeFurniture();
}
}
```
## Summarizing the Abstract Factory Pattern
The Abstract Factory design pattern is a powerful tool in object-oriented design that helps in creating families of related objects without coupling the code to specific classes. This pattern ensures that products created by a factory are compatible with each other, promotes code reuse, and enhances flexibility by making it easy to introduce new product variants.
By mastering the Abstract Factory pattern, you'll be well-prepared to tackle advanced design challenges in your programming interviews and beyond.

1,902,033 | Public vs Private vs Hybrid Cloud: Which One Should You Use? | Salesforce is a powerful cloud-based platform that is used by businesses of all sizes to manage their... | 0 | 2024-06-27T03:11:16 | https://dev.to/elle_richard_232/public-vs-private-vs-hybrid-cloud-which-one-should-you-use-43a1 | softwaredevelopment, cloud, technology | Salesforce is a powerful cloud-based platform that is used by businesses of all sizes to manage their customer relationships, sales, marketing, and other operations. However, with its wide range of features and functionality, Salesforce can be a complex system to manage and optimize.
One of the most important aspects of optimizing Salesforce is performance testing. Performance testing is the process of testing a software application under load to identify any performance bottlenecks or issues. This is important for many businesses as it can have a significant impact on business productivity and profitability.
This article will provide an overview of Salesforce performance testing, including the benefits of performance testing, the different types of performance tests that can be performed, and the best practices for conducting Salesforce performance tests.
**Why You Should Performance Test Salesforce?**
Ensuring a Seamless User Experience: Salesforce is used by a wide range of employees within an organization, from sales representatives to customer support teams. A seamless user experience is essential for these users to access, input, and retrieve data efficiently. It eliminates any slow response times, lagging interfaces, or other issues that could hinder user productivity.
Meeting business requirements for scalability: As businesses grow, their Salesforce needs tend to grow as well. Performance testing allows organizations to assess whether their Salesforce setup can scale to accommodate increased data loads, user volumes, or additional features.
Detecting and addressing performance bottlenecks: Performance testing can help to identify performance bottlenecks in Salesforce, such as slow-loading pages, poor database design or inefficient code. Once these bottlenecks have been identified, they can be addressed to improve the overall performance of Salesforce. This might involve optimizing your code, redesigning your database schema, or upgrading your infrastructure.
Complying with SLAs (Service Level Agreements): Many businesses have SLAs with their customers that guarantee a certain level of performance for their Salesforce applications. Performance testing can help to ensure that these SLAs are met.
**What are the different types of Salesforce performance testing?
**Load Testing — [Loading Testing](https://testgrid.io/blog/load-testing-a-brief-guide/) checks the software performance by putting a large number of users on the system at once to see how it performs under heavy load in a real scenario. The Goal is to check the maximum capacity of the system and ensure it functions optimally under normal circumstances. Ex- determining response times when 500 users access reports simultaneously. It helps capacity planning.
Endurance Testing — Endurance Testing also known as soak testing simulates a Salesforce implementation under sustained load for an extended period of time to monitor its behavior.
Spike Testing — Stress testing simulates the sudden spike in Salesforce org beyond its normal operating limits to see how it performs under extreme load. This can help to identify any potential weaknesses in the system and ensure that it can withstand unexpected spikes in traffic. Ex- doubling load over one hour. It evaluates scalability.
Stress Testing — Stress testing takes load testing a step further by subjecting your Salesforce implementation to extreme workloads beyond what would normally be expected. This helps to identify the breaking point of your system and allows you to make adjustments to handle unexpected spikes in usage. Stress testing can also help you identify potential weaknesses in your infrastructure and make improvements to increase its overall resilience.
Scalability Testing: Scalability testing involves evaluating how well your Salesforce implementation can handle increased traffic, data volume, or user activity without compromising performance. This type of testing helps to identify any bottlenecks or limitations in your system’s architecture, allowing you to make adjustments to ensure that it can scale to meet growing demands.
Configuration testing: Configuration testing is the process of verifying how a system performs under different configurations, such as different operating systems, web browsers, or network configurations. This is done to identify any configuration-related issues that may impact the system’s performance.
**Salesforce-Specific Performance Testing Considerations
**When it comes to performance testing Salesforce implementations, there are several Salesforce-specific considerations that must be taken into account. These considerations include Salesforce governor limits, multi-tenancy implications, API limitations and considerations, and Visualforce and Lightning performance considerations.
Salesforce Governor Limits
Salesforce governor limits are a set of usage caps enforced by Salesforce to ensure efficient processing and prevent runaway Apex code or processes to ensure fair sharing of resources. These limits can impact the performance of your implementation, especially if you have custom code or integrations that rely heavily on APIs, triggers, or batch jobs.
**Multi-Tenancy Implications
**
Salesforce is a multi-tenant platform, meaning that multiple customers share the same underlying infrastructure. While this model provides many benefits, it also introduces some unique performance testing considerations. Since you’re sharing resources with other customers, your performance may be affected by their activities, especially during peak usage times. Additionally, customizations and integrations may behave differently in a multi-tenant environment than they would in a dedicated environment.
**API Limitations and Considerations
**
APIs play a vital role in integrating Salesforce with external systems and services. However, they come with their own set of limitations and considerations that can impact performance. For example:
API request limits: As mentioned earlier, governor limits apply to API requests. Be sure to monitor your API usage and optimize your integration to stay within the allowed limits.
API versioning: Salesforce regularly updates its APIs, which can lead to compatibility issues with older versions. Ensure that your integration uses the latest API version and is designed to adapt to future changes.
Authentication and authorization: Proper authentication and authorization are crucial for securing your API integrations. Implement OAuth, JWT, or another secure mechanism to protect your data and prevent unauthorized access.
Visualforce and Lightning Performance Considerations
Visualforce pages and Lightning components provide a rich user interface and enable customization, but they can also impact performance if not optimized properly. To improve performance:
Minimize the number of Visualforce pages and Lightning components, as each one consumes server resources.
Optimize page layouts and component placement to reduce the number of DOM elements and improve rendering speed.
Use efficient data binding techniques, such as using arrays instead of nested objects, to reduce data transfer between the client and server.
**Tools for Salesforce Performance Testing
**There are a number of different tools that can be used for Salesforce performance testing, including both built-in Salesforce tools and third-party tools.
Built-in Salesforce Tools
Salesforce provides a number of built-in tools that can be used for performance testing, including:
Performance Assistant: Salesforce Performance Assistant is a suite of tools that helps Salesforce Architects ensure that their applications can scale to meet the demands of a growing business. It provides guidance on the principles of scalability, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to create and execute performance tests. Performance Assistant also helps users analyze their test results and identify areas for improvement.
Developer Console: The Developer Console is a web-based interface that allows developers to debug, trace, and profile their Salesforce applications. It provides detailed information about the performance of Apex classes, triggers, and Visualforce pages, including execution times, CPU usage, and memory consumption.
Event Monitoring: Event Monitoring provides insights into how your Salesforce org is performing in real time and helps in quickly identifying and troubleshoot performance issues. It can be used to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as response time, throughput, and error rates.
**Third-party Tools
**There are a number of third-party tools that can be used for Salesforce performance testing. These tools typically provide more features and capabilities than the built-in Salesforce tools. Some popular third-party tools include:
TestGrid: TestGrid is an End-to-end testing platform that can also be used for testing web-based Salesforce applications. It offers a wide range of features that make it easy to set up, execute, and analyze performance tests.
Here are some of the key performance testing related features of TestGrid:
TestGrid provides a cloud-based infrastructure for performance testing, so you don’t need to invest in your own hardware or software.
TestGrid can test your apps on hundreds of real devices ranging from Android, iOS, Samsung, Oppo, Pixel and more.
TestGrid generates comprehensive reports on your performance tests. These reports provide detailed insights into your application’s performance and scalability.
TestGrid integrates seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools, allowing users to automate their entire testing process.
BlazeMeter: BlazeMeter is a cloud-based load testing platform that can be used to test Salesforce applications, APIs, and other web services. It offers a variety of features, including scriptless test recording, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive reporting.
NeoLoad: This is a load testing tool developed by Neotys. It allows you to simulate large numbers of users accessing your application simultaneously and provides detailed reports and analysis to help you identify performance bottlenecks and improve the overall scalability of your application.
JMeter: JMeter is an open-source load testing tool that can be used to simulate a large number of concurrent users and analyze the performance of the Salesforce platform. It supports various load testing protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket.
Performance Optimization Strategies for Salesforce
Here are some strategies for optimizing the performance of Salesforce implementations:
Test various user types, roles, features, and settings
Salesforce is a highly customizable platform, and different users can have different experiences depending on their roles, permissions, and settings. For this reason, it is important to test Salesforce performance with a variety of user types, roles, features, and settings.
For example, you might want to test performance with:
Internal users and external users
Users with different roles and permissions
Users with different hardware and software configurations
Users who are accessing Salesforce from different locations
Parameterize locator-based dynamic IDs
Salesforce pages and elements often have dynamic IDs that change depending on the data in the org. When writing performance tests, it is important to parameterize these IDs so that the tests are not brittle and can be reused with different data sets.
For example, instead of using the hardcoded ID of a specific account record, you could use a parameter to represent the account ID. This way, the test can be run with any account record, without having to modify the test script.
Use best practices for code optimization
Salesforce code optimization is the process of writing code that is efficient and performs well. There are a number of best practices that you can follow to optimize your Salesforce code, including:
To improve the performance of your code, consider bulkifying it by performing DML operations on multiple records at once instead of one record at a time.
SOQL queries and DML statements can be expensive performance-wise, especially when they are executed inside for loops. If possible, you should try to avoid executing SOQL queries and DML statements inside for loops.
When working with data in Salesforce, it is important to use efficient data structures. For example, you should use maps instead of lists when you need to quickly lookup records.
You should avoid writing unnecessary code in your Salesforce code. This will help to improve the performance and readability of your code.
Monitor Performance Metrics

* Risk tolerance assessment ("What's my risk profile?")
* Financial goal setting ("Help me plan for retirement")
2. **Data Ingestion & Storage:**
* **User Data:** User-specific financial data (income, expenses, investments) is securely stored and managed in Amazon Cognito and Amazon DynamoDB.
* **Market Data:** Real-time and historical market data is fetched from financial APIs (e.g., Xignite, Alpha Vantage) using AWS Lambda and stored in Amazon Timestream (for time-series data analysis).
3. **Analysis and Recommendation Engine:**
* **AWS Lambda:** Processes user requests from Lex, retrieves relevant data from DynamoDB and Timestream.
* **Amazon SageMaker:** A machine learning model (trained on historical financial data) is deployed on SageMaker. Lambda invokes this model to:
* Analyze user's portfolio performance and risk.
* Generate personalized investment recommendations based on risk tolerance, financial goals, and market conditions.
4. **Response Generation (Lex):**
* Lex receives the analysis and recommendations from Lambda and communicates them to the user in a conversational manner.
* Visualizations (charts, graphs) can be generated using libraries like Matplotlib and displayed to the user through a web or mobile interface.
**Advantages of this Architecture:**
* **Personalization:** Leverages machine learning to provide tailored financial advice.
* **Real-Time Insights:** Uses Timestream for efficient analysis of time-series market data.
* **Scalability and Cost-Effectiveness:** The serverless nature of Lambda and SageMaker ensures the solution scales seamlessly.

1,902,028 | Optimizing Re-Rendering in React: Why It Matters and How to Do It | React is a powerful and popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, particularly... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:55:26 | https://dev.to/vyan/optimizing-re-rendering-in-react-why-it-matters-and-how-to-do-it-1gob | webdev, javascript, react, beginners | React is a powerful and popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, particularly single-page applications where performance and responsiveness are critical. One of the core concepts in React is the component lifecycle, and a key part of this is rendering and re-rendering components. While React is highly efficient, unnecessary re-renders can still lead to performance issues, making optimization crucial.
## Why Optimize Re-Renders in React?
### 1. **Performance**
Unnecessary re-renders can slow down your application. When a component re-renders, React must reconcile the virtual DOM with the actual DOM, which, although efficient, still consumes resources. Optimizing re-renders helps keep the application fast and responsive, ensuring a smoother user experience.
### 2. **User Experience**
A laggy interface can frustrate users. By minimizing re-renders, you can reduce latency and improve the overall user experience. This is especially important for applications with complex UIs or real-time updates, where responsiveness is key.
### 3. **Resource Efficiency**
Optimizing re-renders reduces CPU and memory usage, which is particularly beneficial for mobile devices and low-power hardware. Efficient resource use can also help in lowering operational costs in cloud-based applications.
### 4. **Scalability**
As your application grows, managing performance becomes increasingly challenging. Optimizing re-renders helps maintain performance as new features and components are added, ensuring scalability.
## How to Optimize Re-Renders in React
### 1. **Use React.memo**
`React.memo` is a higher-order component that memoizes the result of a component’s render. This means that if the props have not changed, the component will not re-render.
```javascript
import React from 'react';
const MyComponent = React.memo(({ name }) => {
console.log('Rendering MyComponent');
return <div>Hello, {name}!</div>;
});
export default MyComponent;
```
### 2. **Use `shouldComponentUpdate` and `PureComponent`**
For class components, you can use `shouldComponentUpdate` to control when a component re-renders. Alternatively, `PureComponent` automatically implements a shallow comparison of props and state.
```javascript
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
class MyComponent extends PureComponent {
render() {
console.log('Rendering MyComponent');
return <div>Hello, {this.props.name}!</div>;
}
}
export default MyComponent;
```
### 3. **Avoid Anonymous Functions in JSX**
Anonymous functions in JSX can cause unnecessary re-renders because they are recreated on each render.
```javascript
// Avoid this
<button onClick={() => handleClick()}>Click me</button>
// Use this
const handleClick = () => {
// handle click
};
<button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>
```
### 4. **Use `useCallback` and `useMemo`**
In functional components, `useCallback` and `useMemo` can be used to memoize functions and values, respectively, preventing unnecessary re-renders.
```javascript
import React, { useCallback, useMemo } from 'react';
const MyComponent = ({ name, age }) => {
const memoizedValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensiveValue(age), [age]);
const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {
console.log(name);
}, [name]);
return (
<div>
<div>{memoizedValue}</div>
<button onClick={memoizedCallback}>Click me</button>
</div>
);
};
export default MyComponent;
```
### 5. **Properly Manage State**
Keep state local to the component that needs it. Lifting state too high can cause unnecessary re-renders of parent components and their children.
```javascript
// Less efficient
const ParentComponent = () => {
const [value, setValue] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<ChildComponent value={value} />
<button onClick={() => setValue(value + 1)}>Increment</button>
</div>
);
};
// More efficient
const ParentComponent = () => {
return (
<div>
<ChildComponent />
</div>
);
};
const ChildComponent = () => {
const [value, setValue] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<div>{value}</div>
<button onClick={() => setValue(value + 1)}>Increment</button>
</div>
);
};
```
### 6. **Use Immutable Data Structures**
Immutable data structures make it easier to determine when a state change has occurred, aiding in more efficient re-renders.
```javascript
const newState = {...oldState, key: 'newValue'};
```
### Conclusion
Optimizing re-renders in React is essential for maintaining performance, providing a smooth user experience, using resources efficiently, and ensuring scalability. By employing techniques such as `React.memo`, `PureComponent`, `useCallback`, and properly managing state, you can significantly enhance the performance of your React applications. Keeping these best practices in mind will help you build more efficient and scalable React applications, ensuring a better experience for your users. | vyan |
1,902,027 | Puppet Vs Trojan virus working principle. | Puppet configuration management tool. Its purpose is to automate the process of configuring and... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:55:09 | https://dev.to/mibii/puppet-vs-trojan-virus-working-principle-2pcb | chef, devops, puppet, ansible | Puppet configuration management tool. Its purpose is to automate the process of configuring and maintaining computer systems. It achieves this by defining the desired state of a system and ensuring that the system remains in that state.
Puppet is agent-based (it mean that Puppet is using the Trojan virus working principal). It joke ;) since a lot of remote host managing programs are based on client-server.
Puppet uses a client-server architecture just like many other legitimate remote host management tools commonly used by DevOps engineers. Here are some additional examples:
**Chef**: Another popular open-source configuration management tool, Chef also utilizes a client-server architecture. It uses Ruby DSL for defining configurations, offering flexibility and customization.
**SaltStack**: This open-source configuration management tool uses a unique "minion-master" architecture. Unlike Puppet and Chef, SaltStack doesn't require an agent on the managed nodes. Instead, the master server pushes configuration information to the minions (managed nodes) and executes commands remotely.
**AWS Systems Manager** (SSM): A managed service by Amazon Web Services, SSM allows managing resources across your AWS infrastructure. It uses a client-server model where the SSM Agent installed on EC2 instances communicates with the SSM service to receive commands, configuration data, and perform actions.
**Azure Automation**: Similar to AWS SSM, Microsoft Azure Automation provides a service for managing resources in your Azure cloud environment. It uses a client-server model with an agent deployed on Azure VMs for remote configuration and execution.
Each tool offers its own strengths and weaknesses, and some DevOps engineers might utilize a combination of tools depending on the specific needs of their project.
As separate tool i would highlight the ** Ansible**: Ansible is indeed different from Puppet and Chef in its approach to **agentless** configuration management.
**Ansible:** Ansible takes a different approach. It leverages SSH for communication, eliminating the need for a pre-installed agent on managed nodes. Ansible "pushes" small programs called modules to the managed nodes, executes them, and then removes them. This agentless approach makes Ansible lightweight and easier to adopt in environments where installing agents might be challenging.
## Here are some of the things that a DevOps engineer should know about Puppet:
Puppet is a declarative configuration management tool. This means that you define the desired state of a system, and Puppet takes care of making sure that the system is in that state.
Puppet uses a domain-specific language (DSL) to define configurations. This DSL is easy to learn and read, and it makes it easy to manage complex configurations.
Puppet is agent-based. This means that there is a Puppet agent installed on each node that you want to manage. The Puppet agent communicates with a Puppet master, which stores the configuration data.
Puppet is open source and free to use.
## Sample task - get the desired state on the controlled Debian/Ubuntu machine.
Desired state - get the Node.js and Nginx been installed on the target.
On the Control Machine (Puppet Master):
Install Puppet Server:
Official Packages: Add the Puppet Laboratories repository and install the server package:
```
curl -sSL https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet-release-bionic.deb -o puppet-release-bionic.deb
sudo dpkg -i puppet-release-bionic.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install puppetserver
```
Package Manager: You might find Puppet server in your distribution's repositories (not recommended for production due to potential version lags). Use your package manager (e.g., apt-get install puppetserver for Debian/Ubuntu).
**Configure Puppet Server:**
Edit the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf file and configure server settings like port number, certificate management, etc. Refer to the official documentation for details: https://help.puppet.com/
**Create a Node Class:**
Create a file (e.g., nodes.pp) in the Puppet modules directory (usually /etc/puppet/manifests/site).
Define a class named nodejs_nginx that includes the required resources for Node.js and Nginx.
```
class nodejs_nginx {
# Include required modules (assuming they are installed)
include nodejs
include nginx
# Define resources for Node.js
nodejs::package { 'nodejs' : ensure => installed }
# Define resources for Nginx
nginx::package { 'nginx' : ensure => installed }
# Additional configuration for Nginx (replace with your desired configuration)
nginx::resource { 'my_website' :
location => '/',
root => '/var/www/html/my_website',
index => ['index.html index.htm'],
}
}
```
Replace my_website with your actual website configuration details.
**Assign the Node Class:**
Edit the /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp file.
Add a line defining a node (your Debian/Ubuntu machine) and assigning the nodejs_nginx class.
```
node 'your_debian_hostname' {
class { 'nodejs_nginx' }
}
```
Replace your_debian_hostname with the actual hostname of your Debian/Ubuntu machine.
## On the Client Machine (Debian/Ubuntu):
**Install Puppet Agent:**
```
wget https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/debian/puppetlabs-release-puppet6.gpg
sudo apt-key add puppetlabs-release-puppet6.gpg
sudo apt update
```
After adding the repository, install the Puppet Agent using the following command:
```
sudo apt install puppet-agent
```
Start and enable Puppet Agent service: Once installed, start the Puppet Agent service and enable it to start automatically at boot time
```
sudo systemctl start puppet
sudo systemctl enable puppet
```
Configure Puppet Agent: By default, Puppet Agent will attempt to connect to the Puppet Master using the default settings (`puppetmaster:8140`). If your Puppet Master is configured with a different hostname or port, you need to edit the Puppet Agent configuration file (`/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf`) to specify the correct settings. For example:
```
[main]
server = your_puppetmaster_hostname
```
Save the file and restart the Puppet Agent service for the changes to take effect:
```
sudo systemctl restart puppet
```
## Start the Puppet Services:
**On the Control Machine (on Server):**
```
sudo systemctl start puppetserver
```
**On the Client Machine:**
```
sudo puppet agent --test
```
This will test the Puppet configuration without applying changes. If successful, run:
```
sudo puppet agent -t
```
This will apply the desired state (installing Node.js and Nginx) to your client machine.
Notes:
Puppet Modules: This example assumes you have the nodejs and nginx Puppet modules installed on the Puppet Master. You can find these modules on the Puppet Forge (https://forge.puppetlabs.com/).
By following these steps, you'll have a basic Puppet setup managing Node.js and Nginx installation and configuration on your Debian/Ubuntu machine. You can further customize the Puppet code to manage additional configurations for your specific needs.
So the Puppet is not a Trojan virus. Here's why:
Puppet works openly. It uses a domain-specific language (DSL) to define configurations, allowing administrators to understand what changes are being made to their systems. Trojan viruses typically operate in the background without the user's knowledge. ;)

This article is straightforward and adheres to standard practices.
In a recent interview, I was asked why cookies are separated by a semicolon (`;`) and not by any other unique character.
The answer is:
Important reason for using `;` as a separator in cookies is to comply with the syntax rules defined by the **HTTP protocol specifications**. These rules ensure that cookies can be reliably parsed and understood by different web browsers and servers. Here are additional technical reasons:
1. **Backward Compatibility**: Early implementations of cookies in web browsers used `;` as a separator, and maintaining this convention ensures backward compatibility with older browsers and web applications. Changing the separator could break existing systems.
2. **Simplicity in Parsing**: Using a single character as a separator simplifies the parsing logic for cookies. Web browsers and servers can use simple string-splitting functions to break down the cookie string into its individual components. This reduces the complexity of the code and helps avoid errors.
3. **RFC Compliance**: The use of `;` as a separator is specified in RFC 6265, which outlines the standards for HTTP cookies. Adhering to this standard ensures interoperability between different web technologies.
### RFC 6265 Excerpt
RFC 6265 explicitly defines the use of `;` as a separator in cookie headers:
```
cookie-header = "Cookie:" OWS cookie-string OWS
cookie-string = cookie-pair *( ";" SP cookie-pair )
cookie-pair = cookie-name "=" cookie-value
```
This excerpt from the specification shows that each `cookie-pair` (a name-value pair) is separated by a `;` followed by optional whitespace.
### Example in Context
Here’s how a cookie header looks in an HTTP response, adhering to the standard:
```
Set-Cookie: theme=light; Expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2024 07:28:00 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly
```
In this context, the `;` ensures that each attribute of the cookie is clearly delineated, which is crucial for proper parsing and handling by the browser.
By using `;` as the separator, web technologies ensure consistent and reliable handling of cookies across different platforms and implementations. This consistency is vital for the correct operation of web applications that depend on cookies for session management, user preferences, and other functions.

I found that using the The Bastards Book of Ruby was a great resource. I highly recommend checking out their website to refer to, if your looking to make a web scraper cli. Grabbing css selectors for the first time was not an easy task. The internet is deep and so are its selectors. You might be asking yourself how do you grab selectors? Using Nokogiri a ruby gem you parse the url creating nodes that you can then iterate over and use to present data to the end user. If you inspect the page and grab the css selector from the html you parsed, you can grab very specific data. I found that not every website could be scraped and that was my biggest setback. As a beginner in software development sometimes its better to take a step back, realizing that its not your fault your not getting the results you expect. The key here is to keep trying and don't give up. You will produce results with perseverance and patience. | glennanj1 |

### Introduction
Becoming a good tech lead is a crucial role within any organisation, especially in the technology industry. A tech lead is not only responsible for managing teams but also for ensuring that all team members develop their skills and expertise. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to be a good tech lead, focusing on team management, enhancing expertise, and coaching/mentorship.
### Team Management
#### Building and Motivating the Team
As a tech lead, you need to build and motivate your team. This means understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member and helping them grow in their roles. You also need to ensure that all team members feel valued and are rewarded fairly for their efforts. For example, in my experience as a tech lead, consistently giving praise and recognition to high-performing team members has significantly increased motivation and overall productivity.
#### Resolving Conflicts within the Team
Conflict is common in any team, but a good tech lead needs to know how to resolve conflicts effectively. This means listening carefully, understanding all perspectives, and finding fair and satisfactory solutions for everyone involved. For instance, in a conflict situation between two team members, mediation and open discussions helped resolve the issue without affecting the work spirit.
#### Ensuring Each Team Member Understands Their Role and Responsibilities
Each team member needs to know what is expected of them and how they contribute to the project's success. As a tech lead, you need to ensure that each team member clearly understands their role and responsibilities. This will help avoid confusion and ensure everyone works towards the same goal. For example, holding weekly meetings to review each team member's roles and responsibilities can keep everyone focused and productive.
### Enhancing Expertise
#### Continuous Learning and Growth in Technology
Technology is constantly changing, and as a tech lead, you need to keep learning and growing. This means staying up to date with the latest industry developments, attending courses and training, and reading relevant books and articles. By continuously learning, you can ensure that you stay ahead in the technology field. Attending webinars and conferences is also a great way to refresh your knowledge.
#### Encouraging the Team to Participate in Training and Courses
In addition to ensuring you keep learning, you also need to encourage your team to participate in training and courses. This will help them improve their skills and expertise, ensuring that your team always has the necessary skills to face upcoming challenges. For example, providing an annual training budget for each team member is a worthwhile investment.
#### Sharing Knowledge and Experience with the Team
As a tech lead, you need to share your knowledge and experience with your team. This means constantly providing guidance and advice to team members and sharing your problem-solving experiences. By sharing knowledge and experience, you can help your team grow and become stronger. Holding weekly "Lunch and Learn" sessions where team members can share what they have recently learned can also enhance the overall knowledge of the team.
### Coaching / Mentorship
#### Providing Regular Feedback
Regular feedback is essential for the growth and development of your team. As a tech lead, you should provide constructive feedback that helps team members understand their strengths and areas for improvement. This feedback should be specific, actionable, and delivered in a supportive manner.
#### Developing Individual Growth Plans
Each team member has unique career goals and aspirations. As a tech lead, you should work with each member to develop individual growth plans that align with their goals and the team's objectives. These plans should include milestones, training opportunities, and regular check-ins to track progress.
#### Encouraging Peer Mentorship
Encourage a culture of peer mentorship within your team. Pairing less experienced members with more experienced ones can foster knowledge sharing and skill development. This not only benefits the mentees but also allows mentors to develop their leadership and coaching skills.
#### Leading by Example
As a tech lead, your behaviour sets the tone for the team. Lead by example by demonstrating commitment to continuous learning, effective communication, and a positive attitude. Your team will be more likely to adopt these behaviours if they see you practising them consistently.
### Leadership
#### Being a Good Leader and Role Model
A good tech lead is not only an effective manager but also a good leader. This means being a role model for your team, showing high commitment and dedication, and always striving for excellence. For example, taking full responsibility for your team's successes and failures demonstrates integrity and commitment to your team.
#### Taking Full Responsibility for Decisions Made
As a tech lead, you need to take full responsibility for the decisions made. This means being willing to acknowledge mistakes and learn from them, as well as constantly seeking ways to improve processes and work outcomes. Taking full responsibility also means supporting your team even when mistakes are made by them.
#### Promoting a Culture of Open and Honest Communication within the Team
Good communication is key to the success of any team. As a tech lead, you need to promote a culture of open and honest communication within your team. This means always listening to team members' views and ideas and providing constructive and useful feedback. Holding regular one-on-one meetings can help ensure communication is always open and honest.
### Conclusion
Being a good tech lead requires a variety of skills and expertise, from team management and coaching to leadership and technical knowledge. By following the guide in this article, you can become an effective tech lead and help your team achieve success. Keep learning and growing, and always strive to be a better leader.

1,902,019 | The Lifecycle of a JavaScript File in the Browser: Request, Load, Execute1 | Lifecycle of a JavaScript file in the browser: request, load, and execution In this... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:31:14 | https://dev.to/mhmd-salah/the-lifecycle-of-a-javascript-file-in-the-browser-request-load-execute-1j24 | javascript, execution, backstage, browser | ## Lifecycle of a JavaScript file in the browser: request, load, and execution
In this article, we'll walk through the life of a JavaScript file and see the full version of a file request, from its download, all the way to its execution. Understanding this method can help developers improve the performance of web pages and thus the user experience.
### 1. Request:
When the browser encounters a script tag in an HTML document, it sends an HTTP request to the server to get the JavaScript file specified in the src attribute. This request can be synchronous or asynchronous depending on how the tag is set up.
### 2. Load:
Once the request is sent, the browser starts loading the JavaScript file. During this phase, the browser can load multiple files in parallel to improve performance. However, the browser must be careful in the order in which files are loaded and executed to ensure that the page functions correctly.
### 3. Execute:
After the JavaScript file is fully loaded, the browser starts executing it. If the tag contains an async property, the file is executed immediately after it is uploaded. If it contains the defer property, the file is executed after the entire page is fully loaded and parsed.
1 - Request: The browser sends an HTTP request to the server to obtain a JavaScript file.
2 - Load: The browser starts loading the JavaScript file after receiving the request.
3 - Execute: The browser executes the JavaScript file after it has completed loading.
- Large or multiple JavaScript files can cause page loading delays. Therefore, it is important to use techniques such as async and defer to improve performance.
- Developers need to be aware of how the order in which JavaScript files are loaded and executed affects the page's cross-browser compatibility.
### Understanding the life cycle of a JavaScript file in a browser can help developers write more efficient code and improve user experience. By optimizing the request, load, and fulfillment process, page load time can be reduced and overall performance improved.

1,899,973 | Behavioral Interviews For Software Engineers | Use Glassdoor The next major thing that I would suggest is going and looking at Glassdoor,... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:31:00 | https://dev.to/thekarlesi/behavioral-interviews-for-software-engineers-4p68 | interview, webdev, beginners, programming | ## Use Glassdoor
The next major thing that I would suggest is going and looking at Glassdoor, because you can get a lot of good information about what to expect in the interviewing process.
So, if you head over to Glassdoor, search for the company that you are interviewing for, and in particular, try to search for the job type that you are interviewing for. A lot of times, people indicate what interview questions they were asked.
And while few companies may mix those questions up, at least it gives you an idea of the types of questions that you may be asked and then how to prepare for them.
Because, it boils down to the preparation you make before you walk in the door. This is the most important part of showing confidence in your interview.
## Improve your skills
To that end, if you notice something on job descriptions in your industry that you tend to be weak on, it is time to start scaling up.
What I mean by that is, if you have a gap on your resume, that you tend to be asked about in an interview, maybe it is a technology. Or maybe it is an industry standard software that you haven't been exposed to, see if you can figure out how to fill that gap.
At the very minimum, read up on it so that you can talk intelligently in an interview. Because most major industries and job types, the industries are very fluid.
And if you are somebody that has spent particularly long amount of time in one company or one industry, in one job type, and haven't really experienced where the market is heading, you can find yourself on the outside looking in pretty quickly as far as current skillset.
And if you are looking at all these job postings and reading through these job descriptions carefully, you can get a pretty good understanding of what the industry is looking for, in those roles.
So, take note and restack up, and maybe some areas that you can improve on and work on reskilling yourself if necessary. Because if you have the right skills, you are going to feel more confident in the interview.
Inversely, if you don't have the skills, you are going to be very defensive as a job seeker because you are going to feel the imposter syndrome. You are going to hope that they don't ask you a specific question that is going to expose your lack of knowledge. And that does not board well for a confidence in an interview.
Before we continue: [Get the Art of Job Interviews](https://karlgusta.gumroad.com/l/pizbkr) to ace your next job interview!
## Study the Job Description
And while you are at it, before you head into the interview, you should certainly be studying the job description very carefully, so that you have a good understanding of what it is that we are looking for in this position.
And you should be doing base level research before you walk in the door. But, you will be surprised at the number of people who don't even read the job description carefully.
And a lot of the questions that we ask are directly related to the job description.
So, if you read the job description, and you have an understanding of what it is that we are going to be asking you ahead of time, then you are probably going to have a better chance of being confident in the interview because you have studied up on it.
So please, study the job description very carefully before you walk in the door. You will have a better chance at impressing the interviewer, and aligning yourself as the best possible fit.
## Recruiter Follow-up
Another sign to look out for is if a recruiter follows up with you very shortly after the interview on some other things.
Now, typically after an interview, that goes particularly well. The hiring manager usually goes back to the recruiter and say "Hey, can you follow up with them just to see how things went."
The recruiter would pick up the phone and just call you to ask "Is this something you can see yourself doing?"
Now, if you are asked those questions, you are being probed to gauge your interest level.
Because the recruiter is going to go back to the hiring manager and say "Yeah. It seems like they are pretty interested in the role."
I as a recruiter, might also need some additional information. Maybe the interview team forgot to ask something critical in the decision making process and I am trying to follow up with you to bridge that gap.
Maybe I am calling to dig if you have any other opportunities pending that we need to be in front of.
But again, if I follow up with you, and I ask you the very specific question of "How did it go and do you see yourself as part of this team?" Consider that to be a very solid sign.
Rooting for you!

1,901,974 | 程序员在企业中是如何做需求的 | 在后端接口封装中，我们一般都会对返回的数据做一个封装，以防止系统出现不可预期的数据结构和类型。比如这样： 结构体 1 { "success": true, "code": 200, ... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:19:11 | https://dev.to/javapub/cheng-xu-yuan-zai-qi-ye-zhong-shi-ru-he-zuo-xu-qiu-de-3g6a | 用户中心项目组, java | 在后端接口封装中，我们一般都会对返回的数据做一个封装，以防止系统出现不可预期的数据结构和类型。比如这样：
结构体 1
{
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "成功",
"data": {
"items": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "小王",
"identified": "JavaPub博主"
}
]
}
}
结构体 2
{
"ret": 200,
"data": {
"title": "Default Api",
"content": "王哥 您好，欢迎使用 apifather!",
"version": "1.1.0",
"time": 14231428021
},
"msg": ""
}
不论如何定义，多一个或少一个字段，我们都需要统一规范。接下来我们拆解一下，
首先，通过观察，一定要有状态码，也就是案例中的 code 和 ret ，通过状态码可以知道当前程序哪里出了问题，比如 200 就是成功。有同学会问，为何不用 data 来判断，为空或者为 0 就是错误，当然不行。
比如：下面这个结构，data 长度虽然等于 0，但是这属于确实没查到数据，而不是程序出错。
{
"ret": 200,
"data": [],
"msg": ""
}
再看 data，这个毋庸置疑，它是接口的核心数据，也是接口对外提供的业务数据。
再看 message 或者称为 msg，它是给状态做一个文字说明。比如，有个老六在定义了一个状态码（666），第一次调用这个接口的同学可能并不知道返回的状态码含义、也不想去查接口文档，我加个描述：（老六的接口不通啦），调用者就一目了然了。
最后看 success 字段，这个字段是为了更规范而加的，方便前端直接将接口响应状态展示。比如：用户登录成功，可以展示一个 true，或者前端在判断时也可以写更简洁的代码 if result.success:。毕竟将（老六的接口不通啦）描述直接展示出来显得不太正式。
基于以上几点，我们的返回结构这样定义：
ApiResponse.class
// 定义API响应结构体
public class ApiResponse<T> {
private int status; // HTTP状态码
private String message; // 状态信息
private T data; // 返回的数据，泛型支持返回不同类型的数据
// 构造函数
public ApiResponse(ResponseStatus status) {
this.status = status.getCode();
this.message = status.getMessage();
}
// 带数据的构造函数
public ApiResponse(ResponseStatus status, T data) {
this(status);
this.data = data;
}
// Getter和Setter方法
// ...
}
定义完返回结构后，我们需要定义状态的枚举值。这是为了定一个统一的规范，方便开发时状态码搞混。
// 定义状态码枚举
public enum ResponseStatus {
SUCCESS(200, "操作成功"),
ERROR(500, "服务器内部错误"),
BAD_REQUEST(400, "请求参数错误"),
NOT_FOUND(404, "资源未找到"),
UNAUTHORIZED(401, "未授权"),
FORBIDDEN(403, "禁止访问");
private final int code;
private final String message;
ResponseStatus(int code, String message) {
this.code = code;
this.message = message;
}
public int getCode() {
return code;
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
}
如何使用呢
@GetMapping("/users/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<ApiResponse<User>> getUser(@PathVariable Long id) {
try {
User user = userService.getUserById(id);
if (user != null) {
return ResponseEntity.ok(new ApiResponse<>(ResponseStatus.SUCCESS, user));
} else {
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
.body(new ApiResponse<>(ResponseStatus.NOT_FOUND));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// 这里可以根据异常类型返回不同的错误状态码和消息
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)
.body(new ApiResponse<>(ResponseStatus.ERROR));
}
}
这里使用了 Spring 自带的返回结构体 ResponseEntity 进行封装。
获取到的结果是这样的：
{
"code": 200,
"message": "操作成功",
"data": {
"id": "1",
"name": "javapub",
"age": 18
}
}

1,901,968 | Deploying Next.js to Your Local IP Address with Dynamic Port Assignment for Network Access | Ever tried to start your Next.js development server and wanted to access your dev server from another... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:13:28 | https://dev.to/xanderselorm/how-to-dynamically-assign-ports-and-access-your-nextjs-app-across-the-network-3p57 | javascript, react, webdev, nextjs | Ever tried to start your Next.js development server and wanted to access your dev server from another device but didn't know how? Say goodbye to those issues and hello to smooth, network-wide access! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to dynamically find an available port, display the network IP, and allow access to your server from different devices on your network. Let's get started!
### Step 1: Install the Required Package
First, we need a magical tool to help us out. Meet `get-port`—your new best friend in port management.
```bash
yarn add get-port
```
### Step 2: Create a Script to Find Available Ports
Next, we’ll create a script that finds an available port and displays the network IP address.
#### Create `start-dev.mjs`
Create a file named `start-dev.mjs` with the following content:
```javascript
import { execSync } from 'child_process';
import getPort from 'get-port';
(async () => {
try {
// Get the network IP address of the machine
const ip = execSync('ipconfig getifaddr en0').toString().trim();
// Function to find an available port within a range
const getAvailablePort = async (start, end) => {
const portsInUse = [];
for (let port = start; port <= end; port++) {
try {
const availablePort = await getPort({ port });
if (availablePort === port) {
return { port, portsInUse };
} else {
portsInUse.push(port);
}
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
}
throw new Error(`No available ports found in range ${start}-${end}`);
};
// Get an available port in the range 3000-3100
const { port, portsInUse } = await getAvailablePort(3000, 3100);
if (portsInUse.length > 0) {
console.log(`🚧 Ports in use: ${portsInUse.join(', ')}`);
}
console.log(`Starting server at http://${ip}:${port}`);
// Set environment variables
process.env.HOST = ip;
process.env.PORT = port;
// Start the Next.js development server
execSync(`next dev -H ${ip} -p ${port}`, { stdio: 'inherit', env: { ...process.env, HOST: ip, PORT: port } });
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to start development server:', error.message);
}
})();
```
### Step 3: Update Your `package.json`
Now, let's update your `package.json` to use the new script.
#### Modify `package.json`
Add the following script to your `package.json`:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "node --experimental-modules start-dev.mjs"
}
}
```
### Explanation of the Scripts
- **`start-dev.mjs` Script**: This script handles finding an available port, setting the necessary environment variables, and starting the Next.js development server.
### Step 4: Running Your Development Server
Now, fire up your terminal and run:
```bash
yarn dev
```
### What Happens When You Run `yarn dev`
1. **Finding the IP Address**: The script retrieves your machine's IP address with the `ipconfig getifaddr en0` command.
2. **Checking for Available Ports**: The script checks for available ports within the range 3000-3100.
3. **Displaying Ports in Use**: If any ports are already taken, the script logs them to the console.
4. **Setting Environment Variables**: The script sets the `HOST` and `PORT` environment variables for the Next.js server.
5. **Starting the Server**: The script starts the Next.js development server on the available port and logs the network IP and port to the console.
### Accessing the Server from Other Devices
Once the server is running, you can access it from other devices on the same network using the network IP and port displayed in the console. For example, if the console logs:
```
Starting server at http://192.168.1.10:3001
```
You can access the server from another device on the same network by entering `http://192.168.1.10:3001` in your browser's address bar.
### Conclusion
With this setup, your Next.js development server will always find a nice, available port to work on, and you'll know exactly which ports were already in use. Plus, you'll be able to access your development server from any device on your network. This makes for a happier, conflict-free development experience and makes it easy to test your application on multiple devices.
So, what are you waiting for? Get started and keep your Next.js server hopping along on the perfect port every time, accessible from all your network devices. Happy coding! 🧙♂️✨ | xanderselorm |
1,901,973 | What happens when you Enter a URL in the browser & Hit enter | When you type a URL into a browser and press Enter, several steps occur to retrieve and display the... | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:09:58 | https://dev.to/zeeshanali0704/what-happens-when-you-enter-a-url-in-browser-hit-enter-2i2a | javascript, systemdesignwithzeeshanali | When you type a URL into a browser and press Enter, several steps occur to retrieve and display the webpage:
Let's understand what is URL first
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address used to access resources on the internet. It consists of several parts, each with a specific function. Here’s a breakdown of its components:
1. **Scheme**: This indicates the protocol used to access the resource. Common schemes include:
- `http`: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
- `https`: Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol
- `ftp`: File Transfer Protocol
- `mailto`: Email address
- Example: `https://`
2. **Host**: The domain name or IP address of the server where the resource is located. This part is necessary to locate the server on the internet.
- Example: `www.example.com`
3. **Port** (optional): Specifies the port number on the server to connect to. If omitted, default ports are used (e.g., 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS).
- Example: `:443`
4. **Path**: The specific location of the resource on the server. This often corresponds to a file or directory on the server.
- Example: `/path/to/resource`
5. **Query String** (optional): Provides additional parameters for the resource, usually in key-value pairs. It begins with a `?` and separates parameters with `&`.
- Example: `?key1=value1&key2=value2`
6. **Fragment** (optional): A section within the resource, indicated by a `#`. It’s often used to direct the browser to a specific part of a webpage.
- Example: `#section2`
Putting it all together, a complete URL might look like this:
```
https://www.example.com:443/path/to/resource?key1=value1&key2=value2#section2
```
### Example Breakdown:
- **Scheme**: `https` [How HTTPS works ?](https://dev.to/zeeshanali0704/https-how-https-works-handshake-1mjo)
- **Host**: `www.example.com`
- **Port**: `443`
- **Path**: `/path/to/resource`
- **Query String**: `?key1=value1&key2=value2`
- **Fragment**: `#section2`
Each part plays a crucial role in ensuring that the browser can locate, request, and display the correct resource on the internet.
## How it works
**DNS Lookup**:
The browser contacts a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate the human-readable URL (e.g., www.example.com) into an IP address, which is necessary for locating the server hosting the website.
When performing a DNS lookup, the process typically checks for cached information before querying an external DNS resolver.
Browser Cache: The browser first checks its own cache.
Operating System Cache: If the browser cache does not contain the necessary information, the operating system's DNS cache is checked next.
**DNS Resolver** (ISP or Configured DNS Server): If the requested DNS information is not found in the browser cache, operating system cache, or local hosts file, the request is sent to a DNS resolver. This is usually provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a configured third-party DNS service (such as Google Public DNS or OpenDNS).
**TCP/IP Connection**: The browser initiates a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with the server using the IP address. This involves a handshake process to establish a reliable connection.
**HTTP Request**: Once the connection is established, the browser sends an HTTP request to the server, typically a GET request asking for the webpage.
**Server Response**: The server processes the request and sends back an HTTP response, which includes the status code (e.g., 200 OK), headers, and the requested content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
**Rendering**: The browser receives the content and begins rendering the webpage. This involves parsing the HTML, constructing the Document Object Model (DOM), and loading any linked resources (CSS files, JavaScript files, images, etc.).
**Executing Scripts**: The browser executes any JavaScript code, which may further modify the DOM and request additional resources from the server.
**Displaying Content**: Finally, the browser displays the fully rendered webpage to the user.
Throughout this process, the browser might also handle cookies, manage security aspects like HTTPS encryption, and employ caching mechanisms to speed up subsequent visits to the same website.****

This post refers[Shopify Checkout UI extensions](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions). See[this post](/blog/authenticated-requests-from-shopify-ui-extensions/) for a brief introduction to UI extensions.
## Problem
One big limitation of the Shopify UI extensions is that there is no native way to use environment variables, an [important principle](https://12factor.net/config) when making apps. My use case, which I imagine is a very common one, is providing my frontend extension code with an api endpoint that will vary across development, staging, and production environments.
## Solution
The solution I landed at is to kind of hack in environment variables into the code during build time. This will happen by:
- writing a template file with all of your environment variables
- depending on a configuration file in your code which holds your environment variables
- writing a script that creates that runtime file using the template file as a template
- calling that script at build time, setting in your environment variables for the script to consume
- `.gitignore` your runtime file
### Template File
First, create a template file. Place this in your extension's `src` directory. Mine lives at`src/config/config.template.txt`. The contents are: `export const API_URL = "$API_URL";`. That's it.
### Depend on Config File (Source Code)
In your source code which depends on the environment variable, pull in your exported variable(s) from a dependency we'll call `config.ts`. This file will live right next to the`config.template.txt` file. Don't create this, though, the script will. My import looks like:
```
import { API_URL } from './config/config';
```
### Script It
Now that the runtime dependency is in place, we need to write a bash script to create the runtime dependency and populate it with our environment variables. I put my project scripts in a `scripts`directory at the root of the project. I gave my script the verbose name`setup_ui_extension_environment.sh`. It looks like this:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# template file
template="extensions/<your-extensions-name-here>/src/config/config.template.txt"
# generated file
config="extensions/<your-extensions-name-here>/src/config/config.ts"
# make sure that the API_URL environment variable is set
if [-z "${API_URL}"]; then
echo -e "\033[0;31mMust set API_URL environment variable"
exit 1
fi
# generate the runtime file based on the template, using envsubst
envsubst < "$template" > extensions/<your-extensions-name-here>/src/config/config.ts
# output what you did
echo -e "\033[0;32mWrote $API_URL as API_URL from $template to $config"
```
API\_URL is my only environment variable at the moment, but you can imagine extending this to support many others.
### Invoke The Script
This manual will only cover development, but the concepts apply across environments and deployments. Make sure to invoke this script when you are building your extension code. My new `package.json``dev` command looks like this:
```
"scripts": {
"dev": "API_URL=https://my-app.ngrok-free.app npm run env:setup && npm run config:use dev && shopify app dev",
"env:setup": "./scripts/setup_ui_extension_environment.sh"
}
```
Don't mind the extra config instructions, the important bit is to:
- set the environment variable (i.e. API\_URL=https://my-app.ngrok-free.app)
- invoke the script (i.e. npm run env:setup)
- before running the shopify dev environment (i.e. shopify app dev)
### .gitignore it
It's generally prudent to `.gitignore` generated files. We don't want to commit this because we it will vary across environments, and maybe even developers on your team, etc. It's a build time concern only. | johnmcguin | |

A Virtual Machine Scale Set(VMSS) is a service in Microsoft Azure that allows you to create and manage a group of load-balanced virtual
machines(VMS). It enables you to scale out and in the number of VMS based on demand or a predefined schedule , ensuring high availability and reliability of application. Two types of scaling usually takes place which involves (1) Vertical Scaling (2) Horizontal Scaling.
**(1) Vertical Scaling ;**This type of scaling allows you to add more resources to an existing server to handle an increase in workload .That is why Vertical Scaling is often referred to as "scaling up". This can involve adding CPU, memory, storage , or network capacity to an existing virtual machine or physical server. Vertical Scaling has simpler architecture since there is only one server to manage. This often make deployment and management easier. The limitations of Vertical Scaling are there is limitations on how much you can scale on a single server and scaling up usually requires servers reboot or downtime which can impact availability.
**(2) Horizontal Scaling ;** This involves adding more VMS or removing VMS to accommodate the available workloads hence it is often called "scaling out or scaling in ". This method distributes the workload across multiple servers, enhancing the system's ability to handle higher traffic of loads and providing redundancy. Use cases of horizontal scaling involves web applications, microservices, big data processing , content delivery network(CDNs)
## Steps and stages in setting up Microsoft Azure VMSS.
The following steps highlights the processes of setting up VMSS in Microsoft Azure Platform.
**(1) login Your Azure Porta ;*Login your Azure portal and click on create a "Resource Group" and name your resource group following the guidelines for nomenclature choose a region and click on create and review then create.
**(2) Search For Virtual Machine Scale Set(VMSS) On The Search Bar**; Search and click on create a Virtual Machine Scale Set.
**(3) Configure Your VMSS ;** Filled in your specification of the type of VMSS you want to create by completing the basics. In this blog, i choose autoscaling and it open up a window for me to configure my scaling conditions.
**(4) Scale and Set VMMS Conditions ;** Give your scale condition a name and set your scaling specifications.
**(5) Save your conditions;** Click save.
**(6) Screw back and fill in other configurations;** Fill in other configuration and choose Ubuntu and SSH port 22.
**(7) Go Next To Networking;** Configure next work interface.
**(8) Create a new Load Balancer if you do not have an existing ;
**
**(9) Create The Load Balancer;
**
**(10) Connect to your VMSS**

## Software design using OOP + FP — Part 1
Let’s do crazy solutions combining OOP and FP :)
The idea for this article is to summarize several patterns and provide examples of how to solve certain problem cases by mixing Object-Oriented Programming (**OOP**) and Functional Programming (**FP**) to get better solutions.
Throughout our professional lives, we can move between different programming paradigms. Each has its strengths and weaknesses and there are more than just two. We will explore OOP and FP because they are the most commonly used. The key is always knowing when and how to apply each to get better solutions.
Let’s get a quick review of the main ideas/concepts of each paradigm
### Object-oriented programming features
* *Encapsulation*: Hiding internal details and exposing only what’s necessary.
* *Inheritance*: Creating new classes based on existing ones.
* *Polymorphism*: Different classes can be treated through a common interface.
* *Abstraction*: Simplifying complex systems by hiding unnecessary details.
* *Dynamic Binding*: Determining which method to invoke at runtime rather than compile time.
* *Message Passing*: Objects communicate with one another by sending and receiving messages.
### Functional programming features
* *Immutability*: Data doesn’t change once created.
* *Pure functions*: Always return the same result for the same inputs.
* *Function composition*: Combining simple functions to create more complex ones.
* *Recursion*: Solving problems by breaking them down into smaller cases of the same problem.
* *High order*: Functions that take other functions as arguments or return functions as results.
* *Referential transparency*: An expression can be replaced with its value without changing the program’s behaviour.
Now that we have reviewed the principal paradigms topics, we are ready to check some common smell patterns but before that, I want to present my top premises when I am coding
* Minimize ( as much as possible ) the amount of used syntax.
* Avoid unnecessary parameter definitions.
* Keep functions/methods small and focused on single-purpose ( inline if possible ).
* Design using immutability and leave mutability just for special cases ( encapsulated ).
* Use descriptive names for functions, methods, classes and constants.
* Avoid using built-in iteration keywords ( unless using a high-order function makes the solution worse ).
* Keep in mind the computational cost all the time.
* The code must explain itself.
**Note**: I will use *NodeJs *for these examples because of facilities although these ideas should be easily implemented using any other programming language that allows us to use OOP and FP paradigms.
**Complex if then else and switch cases**
Several times I see code with many nested conditions or switch cases that make the logic hard to understand and maintain
const reactByAction = action => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'A':
return calculateA(action)
case 'B':
return calculateB(action)
case 'C':
return calculateC(action)
default:
return // Do nothing
}
}
Here we can choose between two approaches. We can decide to use the classic *Polymorphism *on OOP, delegating the responsibility of that computation to every action representation
const reactByAction = action => action.calculate()
Where each action knows how to be calculated
` abstract class Action {
abstract calculate()
}
class ActionA extends Action {
calculate() {
...
}
}
class ActionB extends Action {
calculate() {
...
}
}
...`
But, indeed, sometimes our solutions weren’t thought to be treated like instance objects. In this case, we can use classical object mapping and *Referential transparency*, which works like an indirect switch case, but allows us to omit complex matches
` const calculateAction = {
A: action => ...,
B: action => ...,
C: action => ...,
}`
const reactByAction = action => calculateAction?.[action.type](action)
Of course, this has a limitation, each time you need to “identify” an action type, you will need to create a new constant object mapper.
Whatever the solution is chosen, you always want to keep it simple, delegating the responsibilities the best way possible, distributing the count of lines of your solution and using a good declarative name to simplify the understanding/scalability.
If you can’t provide an instance of every action, I suggest to implement a melted implementation
` class Handler {
constructor() {
this.actionMap = {
A: action => new ActionA(action),
B: action => new ActionB(action),
C: action => new ActionC(action),
};
}
reactByAction = action => this.actionMap[action.type]?.(action).calculate()
}`
**Unnecessary parameter definitions**
Sometimes, we implement functions/methods with many parameters that could be derived from a shared context, here is a simple example
`
const totalPrice = (price, taxRate, discountRate) => {
const taxAmount = price * taxRate
const discountAmount = price * discountRate
return price + taxAmount - discountAmount
}
const totalForRegularCustomer = price => totalPrice(price, 0.1, 0)
const totalForPremiumCustomer = price => totalPrice(price, 0.1, 0.1)`
The definitions are right but we can simplify the number of responsibilities by decoupling the function, using the concept of currying and classes to encapsulate the details and create more specialized methods
Here is a simple suggestion using OOP
` class Customer {
taxAmount = price => price * this.taxRate()
discountAmount = price => price * this.discountRate()
totalPrice = price => price + this.taxAmount(price) - this.discountAmount(price)
}
class RegularCustomer extends Customer {
taxRate = () => 0.1
discountRate = () => 0
}
class PremiumCustomer extends Customer {
taxRate = () => 0.05
discountRate = () => 0.1
}`
Note that I used the pattern template method :)
And here is another option using FP
` const tax = taxRate => price => price * taxRate
const discount = discountRate => price => price * discountRate
const regularTaxAmout = tax(0.1)
const premiumTaxAmout = tax(0.05)
const regularDiscount = discount(0)
const premiumDiscount = discount(0.1)
const calculationWithRates = (taxRateFunc, discountRateFunc) => price =>
price + taxRateFunc(price) - discountRateFunc(price)
const totalForRegularCustomer = calculationWithRates(regularTaxAmout, regularDiscount)
const totalForPremiumCustomer = calculationWithRates(premiumTaxAmout, premiumDiscount)`
Note that I am currying the functions to provide more abstractions increasing the declarativity
Again, we can mix both paradigms in a synthesized design :)
` class Customer {
constructor(taxRate, discountRate) {
this.taxRate = taxRate
this.discountRate = discountRate
}
totalPrice = price => price + this.calculateTax(price) - this.calculateDiscount(price)
calculateTax = price => price * this.taxRate
calculateDiscount = price => price * this.discountRate
}
const regularCustomer = new Customer(0.1, 0)
const premiumCustomer = new Customer(0.05, 0.1)
const total = customer => customer.totalPrice
const totalForRegularCustomer = total(regularCustomer)
const totalForPremiumCustomer = total(premiumCustomer)`
**Excessive long method/functions**
Another classic I’m used to seeing are methods and functions with a lot of responsibilities, too long, with hardcoded conventions and complex business rules
` const tokenize = code => {
let tokens = []
let currentToken = ''
let currentType = null
for (let i = 0; i < code.length; i++) {
let char = code[i]
if (char === ' ' || char === '
' || char === ' ') {
if (currentToken !== '') {
tokens.push({ type: currentType, value: currentToken })
currentToken = ''
currentType = null
}
} else if (char === '+' || char === '-' || char === '*' || char === '/') {
if (currentToken !== '') {
tokens.push({ type: currentType, value: currentToken })
currentToken = ''
}
tokens.push({ type: 'operator', value: char });
} else if (char >= '0' && char <= '9') {
if (currentType !== 'number' && currentToken !== '') {
tokens.push({ type: currentType, value: currentToken })
currentToken = ''
}
currentType = 'number'
currentToken += char
} else if ((char >= 'a' && char <= 'z') || (char >= 'A' && char <= 'Z')) {
if (currentType !== 'identifier' && currentToken !== '') {
tokens.push({ type: currentType, value: currentToken })
currentToken = ''
}
currentType = 'identifier'
currentToken += char
}
}
if (currentToken !== '') {
tokens.push({ type: currentType, value: currentToken })
}
return tokens
}`
Too complex, right? It is impossible to understand just by reading the code
Let’s see a reimplementation of this using OOP creating an abstraction and encapsulating the mutability of the context
` const binaryOperators = ['+', '-', '*', '/']
const SPECIAL_CHARS = {
EMPTY_STRING: '',
...
}
class Context {
constructor(code) {
this.code = code
this.tokens = []
this.currentToken = ''
this.currentType = null
}
...
}
class Tokenizer {
constructor(code) { this.context = new Context(code) }
getCurrentToken() { this.context.getCurrentToken() }
tokenize() {
this.context.getCode().forEach(this.processChar)
this.finalizeToken()
return this.context.getTokens()
}
processChar(char) {
if (this.isWhitespace(char)) {
this.finalizeToken()
} else {
...
}
}
isEmptyChar() {
return this.getCurrentToken() == SPECIAL_CHARS.EMPTY_STRING
}
finalizeToken() {
if (!isEmptyChar()) {
this.addToken(this.context.currentType(), this.currentToken())
this.resetCurrentToken()
}
}
addToken(type, value) {
this.context.addToken({ type, value })
}
resetCurrentToken() {
this.context.resetCurrentToken()
}
processDigit(char) {
if (!this.context.currentIsNumber()) {
this.finalizeToken();
this.context.setNumber()
}
this.context.nextChar()
}
processLetter(char) {
...
}
isWhitespace = char => char === SPECIAL_CHARS.SPACE || char === SPECIAL_CHARS.JUMP || char === SPECIAL_CHARS.TAB
isOperator = binaryOperators.includes
...
}`
Or we can think of a solution using some other FP concepts
` const isWhitespace = [' ', '
', ' '].includes
const isOperator = ['+', '-', '*', '/'].includes
...
const createToken = (type, value) => ({ type, value })
const initialState = () => ({ tokens: [], currentToken: EMPTY_STRING, currentType: null })
const processChar = (state, char) => {
if (isWhitespace(char)) return finalizeToken(state)
if (isOperator(char)) return processOperator(state, char)
if (isDigit(char)) return processDigit(state, char)
if (isLetter(char)) return processLetter(state, char)
return state
}
const finalizeToken = state => isEmptyString(currentToken) ? state : ({
...state,
tokens: [ ...state.tokens, createToken(state.currentType, state.currentToken) ],
currentToken: '',
currentType: null
})
const processOperator = (state, char) => ({
...finalizeToken(state),
tokens: [...state.tokens, createToken(TYPES.op, char)]
})
const processDigit = (state, char) => ({
...state,
currentType: TYPES.Number,
currentToken: isNumber(state.currentType) ? state.currentToken + char : char
})
...
const tokenize = code => finalizeToken(code.reduce(processChar, initialState())).tokens
Again, we think in encapsulation, abstractions and declarativeness
And, of course, we can provide a mixed solution ;)
const SPECIAL_CHARS = {
SPACE: ' ',
NEWLINE: '
',
TAB: ' '
}
const binaryOperation = ['+', '-', '*', '/']
class Tokenizer {
constructor(code) {
this.code = code
this.tokens = []
this.currentToken = EMPTY_STRING
this.currentType = null
}
tokenize() {
this.code.split('').forEach(this.processChar.bind(this))
this.finalizeToken()
return this.tokens
}
processChar = char => {
const processors = [
{ predicate: this.isWhitespace, action: this.handleWhitespace },
{ predicate: this.isOperator, action: this.handleOperator },
{ predicate: this.isDigit, action: this.handleDigit },
{ predicate: this.isLetter, action: this.handleLetter }
]
const { action } = processors.find(({ predicate }) => predicate(char)) || EMPTY_OBJECT
action?.(this, char)
}
isWhitespace = Object.values(SPECIAL_CHARS).includes
isOperator = binaryOperation.includes
isDigit = /[0-9]/.test
isLetter = /[a-zA-Z]/.test
handleWhitespace = this.finalizeToken
handleOperator = char => {
this.finalizeToken()
this.addToken(TYPES.operation, char)
}
handleDigit = char => {
if (!this.isNumber()) { this.finalizeToken(); this.currentType = TYPES.number }
this.currentToken += char
}
handleLetter = char => {
if (!this.isIdentifier()) { this.finalizeToken(); this.currentType = TYPES.id }
this.currentToken += char
}
finalizeToken() {
if (!this.isEmpty()) {
this.addToken(this.currentType, this.currentToken)
this.currentToken = SPECIAL_CHARS.empty
this.currentType = null
}
}
addToken(type, value) {
this.tokens.push({ type, value })
}
}
const tokenize = code => new Tokenizer(code).tokenize()
`
Let's finish this first article about OOP + FP software design, I would like to write more about this perspective reviewing much more complex examples and patterns, proposing melted solutions and exploring deeply the ideas of both paradigms.
Let me know if something is strange, or if you find something in this article that could be improved. Like our software, this is an incremental iterative process, improving over time 😃.
Thanks a lot for reading!

1,901,970 | Polyfill supply chain attack embeds malware in JavaScript CDN assets | On June 25, 2024, the Sansec security research and malware team announced that a popular JavaScript polyfill project had been taken over by a foreign actor identified as a Chinese-originated company. | 0 | 2024-06-27T02:00:16 | https://snyk.io/blog/polyfill-supply-chain-attack-js-cdn-assets/ | applicationsecurity, opensourcesecurity, javascript | On June 25, 2024, the Sansec security research and malware team [announced](https://sansec.io/research/polyfill-supply-chain-attack) that a popular JavaScript polyfill project had been taken over by a foreign actor identified as a Chinese-originated company, embedding malicious code in JavaScript assets fetched from their CDN source at: `cdn.polyfill.io`. Sansec claims more than 100,000 websites were impacted due to this polyfill attack, including publicly traded companies such as Intuit and others.
What happened with the malicious polyfill library?
--------------------------------------------------
Andrew Betts was the original author of the [polyfill web service](https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service). This project allowed the automatic injection of JavaScript polyfill libraries into websites based on their user agent or other properties. [Andrews's statements](https://x.com/triblondon/status/1761852117579427975) trace back to February when they warned of having no part in the official `cdn.polyfill.io` website.
There is no specific polyfill library on npm that we know is part of this specific malicious actor campaign to inject malicious code. That said, libraries across different software ecosystems, such as Content Management systems like the Magento project and others, might include code that introduces static script imports of JavaScript code sourced from `cdn.polyfill.io`. In particular, we have detected CVE-2024-38526, a security report for the `pdoc` library on PyPI registry that provides API Documentation for Python Projects. In cases where documentation is generated with the command `pdoc --math` would contain links to JavaScript files from `polyfill.io`. This behavior of the `pdoc` library has been fixed in pdoc version 14.5.1, and we urge users to upgrade as soon as possible.
What is a JavaScript polyfill?
------------------------------
A JavaScript Polyfill is often a purposely built piece of code that provides modern functionality on older browsers that do not natively support it. Historically, polyfills were crucial for web developers aiming to create applications that work seamlessly across different browser versions. They act as a bridge, enabling older browsers to run newer JavaScript features, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of the browser's age or capabilities.
In the early days of web development, browsers evolved at different paces, leading to a fragmented environment where the same code might not run uniformly across all platforms. Generally speaking, support for browser APIs would not be equally supported. With no control over browser versions available to end-users, developers couldn’t guarantee the same API available when JavaScript code executed in browsers. As such, polyfills emerged as a solution to this problem by introducing polyfill libraries, allowing developers to write modern JavaScript code without worrying about compatibility issues. For example, methods like `Array.prototype.includes` and `Promise` were not supported in older browsers like Internet Explorer. Still, developers could make these features available with a polyfill library loaded in the browser.
The role of a JavaScript CDN in polyfill libraries
--------------------------------------------------
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of globally deployed and distributed servers that deliver web content to users based on their geographic location. In the context of JavaScript polyfill libraries, CDNs play a vital role by hosting and serving these libraries efficiently across the globe. By leveraging CDNs, developers ensure that their polyfills are delivered quickly and reliably to users, minimizing latency and improving load times. Using a CDN was also helpful to developers to avoid the need to bundle JavaScript libraries.
A general use case for a CDN that you are likely to encounter is the use of cloud-based metrics and application performance, such as Google Analytics, which officially proposes that you add the following code to your website:
```
{
"vars" : {
"gtag\_id": "<GA\_MEASUREMENT\_ID>",
"config" : {
"<GA\_MEASUREMENT\_ID>": { "groups": "default" }
}
}
}
```
In the case of the malicious polyfill takeover, `cdn.polyfill.io` was a widely used CDN that dynamically served polyfills based on the HTTP headers of incoming requests. This meant that the appropriate polyfill was delivered based on the user's browser and version, ensuring optimal compatibility.
Security risks of polyfills hosted on a CDN
-------------------------------------------
Using polyfills hosted on a CDN introduces significant security risks, primarily due to the potential for arbitrary JavaScript code execution within the application context. This risk is often reported as a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability for a given web application.
When a polyfill library is fetched from a CDN, the application relies on the integrity and security of the external server. As in the CDN source in itself. If the CDN or the hosted library is compromised, as seen in the recent attack on `cdn.polyfill.io`, the newly compromised code can be injected and executed within the user's browser. Such malicious code can perform various nefarious activities, such as redirecting users to phishing sites, stealing sensitive information, or even further propagating malware. When it comes to browser security, this sort of XSS vulnerability is the most severe consequence.
How could Snyk detect vulnerable JavaScript libraries on a CDN?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Beyond detecting insecure code and vulnerable third-party libraries in your project manifest and project dependencies, [the Snyk VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=snyk-security.snyk-vulnerability-scanner) also supports detecting vulnerable libraries that were imported using static script import statements.
For example, if the `lodash` library imported from a CDN were to use a vulnerable version range or was known to include malicious code, Snyk will append in-line annotations to drive the developer’s attention to the security risk.
Protecting against CDN supply chain attacks
-------------------------------------------
The recent attack on the JavaScript polyfill project highlights the critical importance of supporting resources across the web ecosystem, and CDNs are a significant part of that. Supply chain security concerns often revolve around open source package registries such as PyPI and npm but the JavaScript polyfill attack reminded us that CDNs are also an incredible building block of the web.
Following are some best practices you should consider to help protect from such attacks:
* Use trusted CDNs: Only use CDNs from reputable providers. For example, Cloudflare is well-known for its robust security measures and reliability.
* Monitor dependencies: Regularly audit and monitor all third-party scripts and dependencies.
* Subresource integrity: Tools like Subresource Integrity (SRI) can help ensure that the content delivered by a CDN has not been tampered with and can be pinned to an expected version/hash that has been audited and known to be clear of malicious or otherwise undesired behavior.
* Content Security Policy (CSP): Implement a strong CSP to restrict the sources from which scripts can be loaded. This can prevent malicious scripts from being executed. Since polyfills are often included in the critical path of application loading, they run with the same permissions as any other JavaScript on the page, making them a prime target for attackers aiming to exploit this trust. This risk underscores the importance of using secure and reputable CDNs, implementing robust security measures like Content Security Policy (CSP), and regularly auditing third-party dependencies to safeguard against such vulnerabilities.
* Regular updates: Keep all libraries and dependencies up-to-date. Many attacks exploit known vulnerabilities that have been patched in later versions.
* Alternative solutions: Evaluate whether polyfills are still necessary for your project. As browsers modernize, many features provided by polyfills are now natively supported. Highly consider vendoring your dependencies with your own project assets instead of reliance on third-party providers such as CDNs.

1,901,090 | Deploy Terraform resources to AWS using GitHub Actions via OIDC | The article explains how to configure OpenID Connect within your GitHub Actions workflows to... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:56:51 | https://dev.to/camillehe1992/deploy-terraform-resources-to-aws-using-github-actions-via-oidc-3b9g | terraform, githubactions, aws | The article explains how to configure OpenID Connect within your GitHub Actions workflows to authenticate with AWS, so that the workflow can access AWS resources. The common use case is define AWS infrastructure as code, using CloudFormation, CDK or Terraform, etc, then sync the infrastructure update in AWS through workflows on each code change commit. As we only focus on the IODC setup here, to make it simple, the demo workflow authenticates to AWS account firstly, then list all S3 buckets in that account.
So, what is OpenID Connect?
[OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://openid.net/developers/how-connect-works/) is an identity authentication protocol that is an extension of open authorization (OAuth) 2.0 to standardize the process for authenticating and authorizing users when they sign in to access digital services. OIDC provides authentication, which means verifying that users are who they say they are.
Let's talk about how OpenID Connect works with identity provider and federation.
In AWS, when managing user identities outside of AWS, you can use identity providers instead of creating IAM users in AWS account. With an identity provider (IdP), you can give these external user identities permissions (defined in IAM role) to use AWS resources in your account. An external IdP provides identity information to AWS using either OpenID Connect (OIDC) or SAML 2.0. Identity providers help keep your AWS account secure because you don't have to distribute or embed long-term security credentials, such as access keys, in your application.
In the demo, GitHub is an external identity provider for AWS. GitHub Actions workflows can be treated as external user identities.
The core process is to authenticate with AWS using temporary credentials within your GitHub Actions workflows. It contains the following steps:
1. Firstly, establish trust between AWS account and GitHub by adding GitHub identity provider in AWS IAM service.
2. Create IAM role that allows to be assumed by the new added identity provider.
3. GitHub actions workflow assumes the IAM role:
* Workflow retrieves a JWT token from GitHub;
* Workflow makes an AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity call to AWS STS service with JWT token.
* AWS STS service validates the trust relationship, and returns temporary credentials in AWS that map to the IAM role with permissions to access specific resources in AWS account
4. Workflow access AWS resources.
Here is a diagram that displays the authentication process.
## Prerequisites
* An AWS account with permission to create OIDC identity provider, role, attach policy in AWS IAM service.
* An GitHub account to create a repository and workflows.
## Solution Overview
### Step 1 & 2 Add GitHub IdP & Create IAM Role in AWS Account
You can follow the process and description from the [blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/use-iam-roles-to-connect-github-actions-to-actions-in-aws/) just like what I did. I won't repeat the process here because the blog is clear and understandable.
After completed, you will have an identity provider named **token.actions.githubusercontent.com** with OpenID Connect type, and an IAM role named **GitHubAction-AssumeRoleWithAction** with trust relationship.
Identity Provider
IAM Role -> Trust Relationship
### Step 3. Create GitHub Actions Workflow
In your GitHub repository, create a workflow yaml file named **get-started.yaml** in **.github/workflows** directory with below code.
Update <YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_REGION> and <YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID> with the real values. Update the branches in the code if you want to trigger the workflow from other branches.
```yaml
# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: Get Started
# Controls when the action will run. Invokes the workflow on push events but only for the main branch
on:
push:
branches:
- main
pull_request:
branches:
- main
env:
AWS_REGION: <YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_REGION>
ROLE_TO_ASSUME: arn:aws:iam::<YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/GitHubAction-AssumeRoleWithAction
ROLE_SESSION_NAME: GitHub_to_AWS_via_FederatedOIDC
# Permission can be added at job level or workflow level
permissions:
id-token: write # This is required for requesting the JWT
contents: read # This is required for actions/checkout
jobs:
AssumeRoleAndCallIdentity:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Git clone the repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: configure aws credentials
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4
with:
role-to-assume: ${{ env.ROLE_TO_ASSUME }}
role-session-name: ${{ env.ROLE_SESSION_NAME }}
aws-region: ${{ env.AWS_REGION }}
# Hello from AWS: WhoAmI
- name: Sts GetCallerIdentity
run: |
aws sts get-caller-identity
```
Commit and push to remote. A build is triggered automatically. Below screenshot shows the workflow assumes the IAM role ROLE_TO_ASSUME successfully.
At this moment, the IAM role doesn't attach any policy, which means your workflow has no permissions for AWS resources.
Next, I'm going to use the workflow to list all buckets in my AWS account. To enable it, we need to attach an IAM policy with necessary permission on IAM role **GitHubAction-AssumeRoleWithAction**.
1. From AWS IAM Console, find role, Add permissions -> create inline policy.
2. Select a service: S3
3. Action allowed: ListAllMyBuckets
4. Resources: All
5. Next
6. Policy name: AllowListAllMyBuckets
7. Create Policy
> Please be noted, to list all AWS buckets, we choose action s3:ListAllMyBuckets, not s3:ListBucket.
Now, you have attached an inline policy on IAM role. Then add a new step after step **Sts GetCallerIdentity** to list all buckets using AWS CLI. The step name is **List All S3 Buckets**, it executes shell script "aws s3 ls" to list all buckets from your AWS account.
```
...
- name: List All S3 Buckets
run: aws s3 ls
```
Commit and push change to remote. A new build is triggered automatically.
Following the least privilege principle, I only granted s3:ListAllMyBuckets permission to the role. The policies assigned to the role determine what the federated users are allowed to do in AWS. You should follow the principle for best practice according to your needs in the daily work.
## Others...
Since we are taking about best practice, let's enhance our workflow by replacing hard-coded or sensitive environment variables with GitHub Secrets and variables. I'm going to save these environment variables in **Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions**. Add repository variables.
Finally replace the hard-coded environment variables in workflow.
Hard-coded:
```yaml
AWS_REGION: xxxxxx
ROLE_TO_ASSUME: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxx:role/GitHubAction-AssumeRoleWithAction
ROLE_SESSION_NAME: GitHub_to_AWS_via_FederatedOIDC
```
Retrieved from GitHub repository variables
```yaml
AWS_REGION: ${{ vars.AWS_REGION }}
ROLE_TO_ASSUME: ${{ vars.ROLE_TO_ASSUME }}
ROLE_SESSION_NAME: ${{ vars.ROLE_SESSION_NAME }}
```
Commit and push to remote. A new build is triggered automatically. The workflow will retrieve these variables from GitHub Secrets and variables at the beginning of job.
You can find the source code from GitHub repo: https://github.com/camillehe1992/demo-for-aws-deployment-via-oidc
## Summary
You have learned how to add GitHub as an identity provider and create an IAM role with correct trust relationship in AWS. Besides, you created a GitHub Actions workflow that authenticates to AWS and list all S3 buckets in the AWS account within the build.
As I mentioned, the common use case is we define AWS infrastructure as code, these AWS resources are provisioned and managed through GitHub repositories and Actions workflows, a.k.a CICD pipelines. All changes are traceable and controllable, easy to repeat and recover with the power of IoC (Infrastructure as Code) and CICD tools.

1,901,966 | Build a GPT That Talks to Your Database in One Day | Have you ever wondered how challenging it is to create a Custom GPT with user authentication and... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:52:13 | https://dev.to/jfbloom22/build-a-gpt-that-talks-to-your-database-in-one-day-1kf0 | oauth2, openai, chatgpt, node | Have you ever wondered how challenging it is to create a Custom GPT with user authentication and database access? I found the lack of examples of this disheartening. So, I create a comprehensive guide myself and am pleased to say, with a small amount of coding skills you can build your own in day.
* [GitHub Repository: Custom GPT API OAuth](https://github.com/jfbloom22/custom-gpt-api-oauth)
* [Demo: My Pizza Dough \(OAuth Demo\)](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-oXRAoqOK8-my-pizza-dough-oauth-demo)
### Tech Stack
To achieve this, I used:
* Clerk.com: for authentication
* [Vercel](https://vercel.com): for hosting
* [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/): for great database management UX
* [Neon](https://neon.tech/): for serverless postgres
* Typescript
* Express.js
### Who is this for?
This guide is perfect for developers looking to create an AI Agent or a Custom GPT that supports user authentication and database access with ease.
### Why it matters
An AI Agent with user authentication unlocks numerous possibilities, enabling applications that require secure user data access and personalized experiences.
### Prerequisites
Before diving in you will need:
* Familiarity with DNS and configuring a Custom Domain Name
* Familiarity with creating a REST API
* Have a paid subscription to ChatGPT
### Background Story
In my quest to build GPTs with authentication, I found the lack of examples disheartening. Despite extensive searches on Perplexity, Arc Search, and ChatGPT, the closest resources were:
* [Authenticate users in GPT actions: Build a personal agenda assistant](https://blog.logto.io/gpt-action-oauth/) - Too closely tied to Logto.io
* [How to add OAuth authorization for custom GPTs](https://agilemerchants.medium.com/how-to-add-oauth-authorization-for-custom-gpts-d1eaf32ee730) - Using PHP, Laravel, and looks overly complicated
* [GPT Action with Google OAuth\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA4FtyAKhfA) - Limited to Google APIs
* [GPT-Actions: GPT Auth](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/GPT-Actions) - Not using OAuth2
Since I couldn’t find what I needed, I decided to create an example myself, hoping it would help others in similar situations.
### The Challenge
After getting the basics working and configuring the GPT, I faced a frustratingly generic error when trying to save:
To troubleshoot, I built another Custom GPT using OAuth2 to access my Google Calendar, confirming the issue was specific to my project. The community shared similar frustrations:
["Error saving draft" when creating an authenticated action in a GPT](https://community.openai.com/t/error-saving-draft-when-creating-an-authenticated-action-in-a-gpt/490733/14)
### The Solution
The breakthrough came from an unusual requirement in the OpenAI docs: the OAuth2 server must share the same domain as the API server, except for Google, Microsoft, and Adobe OAuth domains.
Once I configured a custom domain on Clerk, everything worked beautifully! The result is a template project that any developer can fork, customize, and deploy in a single day.
* [GitHub Repository: Custom GPT API OAuth](https://github.com/jfbloom22/custom-gpt-api-oauth)
### Demo
Check out the demo for a hands-on experience. Feel free to explore, and even spam the database - restoring it is easy with backups on Neon.

1,901,965 | Catch, Optimize Client-Side Data Fetching in Next.js Using SWR | How to Optimize, Memorise Client-Side Data Fetching in Next.js Using SWR In modern web... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:49:23 | https://dev.to/sh20raj/catch-optimize-client-side-data-fetching-in-nextjs-using-swr-51hf | webdev, javascript, beginners, programming | ### How to Optimize, Memorise Client-Side Data Fetching in Next.js Using SWR
In modern web applications, efficient data fetching is crucial for providing a smooth and responsive user experience. Next.js, a popular React framework, offers several ways to fetch data. One effective method is using the SWR (stale-while-revalidate) library, which provides a powerful and flexible approach to data fetching and caching. In this article, we'll explore how to use SWR for client-side data fetching in a Next.js application, and we'll compare it with traditional React hooks for data fetching.
---
{% youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjAwwGV38Ms %}
----
{% github https://github.com/SH20RAJ/nextbuild %}
#### Why Use SWR?
SWR is a React Hooks library for data fetching developed by Vercel, the team behind Next.js. SWR stands for stale-while-revalidate, a cache invalidation strategy. It provides several benefits:
1. **Optimized Performance**: SWR caches the data and revalidates it in the background, ensuring the user always has the most up-to-date information without waiting.
2. **Automatic Revalidation**: Data is automatically revalidated at intervals, keeping it fresh.
3. **Focus on Declarative Data Fetching**: SWR abstracts away much of the boilerplate associated with data fetching.
#### Setting Up the Next.js Project
First, create a new Next.js project if you haven't already:
```bash
npx create-next-app@latest swr-example
cd swr-example
```
Install the SWR library:
```bash
npm install swr
```
#### Basic Routing Setup
Let's set up basic routing with a `Home` page and two additional pages to demonstrate data fetching using SWR and traditional React hooks.
**`app/page.js`**
```javascript
import Link from "next/link";
export default function Home() {
return (
<>
<div>
<Link href="/new">New</Link>
<br />
<Link href="/new2">New2</Link>
</div>
</>
);
}
```
#### Fetching Data with SWR
Create a new page that uses the SWR library to fetch data from an API.
**`app/new/page.js`**
```javascript
'use client';
import Link from 'next/link';
import useSWR from 'swr';
const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((response) => response.json());
export default function Page() {
const { data, error } = useSWR('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1', fetcher);
if (error) return 'Failed to load';
if (!data) return 'Loading...';
return (
<>
<Link href="/">Main</Link>
<br />
<div>Data Title: {data.title}</div>
</>
);
}
```
#### Fetching Data with React Hooks
Create another page that fetches the same data using traditional React hooks.
**`app/new2/page.js`**
```javascript
'use client';
import Link from 'next/link';
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
export default function Page() {
const [data, setData] = useState({});
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
.then((response) => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
}
return response.json();
})
.then((json) => {
setData(json);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch((error) => {
setError(error);
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
if (loading) return 'Loading...';
if (error) return `Error: ${error.message}`;
return (
<>
<Link href="/">Main</Link>
<br />
<div>Data Title: {data.title}</div>
</>
);
}
```
### Comparison: SWR vs. React Hooks
**SWR:**
- **Pros:**
- Automatic caching and revalidation.
- Easier to manage and less boilerplate code.
- Better performance due to background revalidation.
- **Cons:**
- Requires additional dependency.
**React Hooks:**
- **Pros:**
- Native to React, no additional dependencies required.
- More control over the data fetching process.
- **Cons:**
- More boilerplate code for handling loading and error states.
- No built-in caching or revalidation.
### Conclusion
Using SWR for data fetching in a Next.js application offers several advantages, including automatic caching, revalidation, and reduced boilerplate code. While traditional React hooks provide more control, they require more effort to handle common scenarios like caching and error handling. Depending on your application's needs, SWR can be a powerful tool to enhance performance and user experience.
For more detailed information, you can also refer to the [SWR documentation](https://swr.vercel.app/) and the Next.js [official documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs).

## 1. Real-Time Audio Processing
The foundation of any transcription and translation app is its ability to handle real-time audio processing. This requires the integration of low-latency audio streaming capabilities. For iOS, leveraging AVAudioEngine allows developers to capture and process audio in real-time efficiently.
## 2. Speech Recognition
Implementing speech recognition is another critical component. Apple's Speech framework provides a robust API for converting speech to text. Ensuring accurate transcription involves fine-tuning various parameters and handling different accents and dialects.
## 3. Accuracy and Speed
Live features require a delicate balance between accuracy and speed. Users expect real-time results, but maintaining transcription and translation fidelity is crucial.
## 4. Handling Different Languages and Accents
The beauty of such a feature lies in its ability to bridge language barriers. However, supporting diverse languages and accents presented a significant challenge.
To provide real-time translation, integrating with a reliable translation API is essential. APIs like Google Cloud Translation or Microsoft Translator offer the necessary functionality. These services can handle text translations in numerous languages and return translations quickly.
## 5. Network Management
Ensuring that the app handles network requests efficiently, especially during calls, is crucial. Using URLSession for network tasks and handling errors gracefully ensures a smooth user experience.
## 6. User Interface and Experience
The UI/UX design of a call transcription and translation app must prioritize ease of use and clarity. Displaying transcriptions in real-time, handling multiple languages, and providing clear translations are all vital for user satisfaction.
Working on this project solidified my belief in the potential of AI-powered features to revolutionize communication. While there are obstacles to overcome, the ability to break down language barriers and ensure clear understanding in real-time phone calls is a significant step forward in an increasingly interconnected world. | pamutton | |

they were at the ReactConf introducing the React Hooks to the developer community.
[React Today and Tomorrow and 90% Cleaner React With Hooks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpw9EHDh2bM)
## the motivation behind the creation of hooks
back in the day, react code used to look like this:
most of the react code was written using classes, so, its components were called class based components.
when you wanted for your application to be controlled and have states, you would need to make it a class, so a bunch of code should be added:
1. class extending a react component
2. a constructor with the component props
3. use super() to make the state and the props accessible through the component
4. bind all of the state writing methods
yeah, that's definitely a lot of unwanted code... the files were a mess and they used to have more then 1.000 lines
## the wrapper hell
Sophie and Dan made sure that the new react features would fix a well known react issue. it was called: wrapper hell
do you remember this image?
yeah, this is wrapper hell
basically the OG react codes needed a lot of tags to access contexts, to display different themes, to get the users locale, etc.
and all of that was because the hooks did not existed - yet!
## finally: the hooks
three hooks were introduced back in the day: useEffect, useState and useContext, and all of them had unique purposes and functions.
### the useState
useState is the most used and some must say: must important react hook.
basically, useState is a hook used when you want to make sure that a component have a memory. when you want your component to store and remember a variable, you should have a state.
react applications are known for being personal and customizable since its very first beginning
> To me, Next is not just about making fast sites. It's about making sites that are personal. - **Guillermo Rauch, founder of Vercel and creator of Next.Js**
and the useState was a real game changer for the web development
I wrote this OG class based component -- probably is inaccurate -- in order to illustrate how react components looked like before the hooks.
this is a react component that uses the react 16.8 version -- the version where the hooks were introduced.
as you can see, it is really noticeable how much code was turned unnecessary after the hooks. our DX have increased considerably and the components were more succinct and readable.
if you don't know why we use states, please read [this](https://react.dev/learn/state-a-components-memory)
### the useEffect
have you ever heard the phrase "the component did mount"?
`componentDidMount()`, `componentWillUnmount()`, `componentDidUpdate()` were methods very much used on the earlier versions of react to listen and interact with different stages of the component rendering and compiling process
after the introduction of the "listener" hook, the useEffect, those methods were happily replaced
basically what the useEffect hook does at the code above is to listen to all of the changes on the page and change the width state value through the `setWidth` method.
the main purpose of the useEffect is to listen to changes and run subsequent functions, BUT, this hook is definitely the most MISUSED hook.
today we are used to use the useEffect hook to perform changes based on everything, and this may cause a lot of issues such as:
- infinite loops
- duplicated values inside state arrays
- unwanted code smell -- yeah, using a lot of useEffects should be considered as code smell
so, think about this: when you want something to change during a function, your first thought may look like this:
but, a bad logic at the API gateway or the user registration process could lead to:
but, there are some ways to fix it. this is the one I like the most:
instead of dumping a lot of logic inside your useEffect and your other methods to try and force some kind of idempotency, you could just go and replace it by a callback function that handles and sets the state accordingly to the component's needs. as simple as that.
be careful with the way your component handles effects.
### useContext
the useContext is much easier to understand than the useEffect, because it has a lot to do with the useState.
basically, the useContext hook should be used to store global values or states
take a look at how contexts were managed before:
and after the useContext hook, it started to look like this:
as you can see, now we can simply import the context and wrap it with the useContext hook. there is no need for the context consumers no more.
if you don't know why we use contexts, please read [this](https://react.dev/learn/passing-data-deeply-with-context)
## conclusion + custom hooks
really understanding the react hooks will make your code work and look really better. sometimes we get so used to write code without thinking that some basic concepts run out of our mind.
it is important to always remember of the react foundation when writing code.
the React Core team did not wanted our code to be static and boring, so that is why they developed a whole new community experience through the Custom Hooks.
I now the Next developers would not be able to live without a `useRouter()`, or a `useSearchParams()`. also, what would the new React developers do if they did not had the `useMemo()`?
if you don't know how to mix the concepts explored through this article and come up with a custom hook, just wait until I publish the next article showing you how to.
thanks for reading!

## Project on Github
To make this article comprehensive, I have created a repository with a real application where you can analyze the code and see the complete implementation of the examples mentioned. Visit the repository on GitHub: [app-internationalization](https://github.com/livresaber/app-internationalization).
## First, install the Libraries
You need to install the necessary libraries for react-i18next, i18next, and expo-localization.
```bash
npx expo install expo-localization react-i18next i18next
```
In this example, I use AsyncStorage, so you'll need to install it as well. However, if you use another solution to persist the data, feel free to replace it accordingly.
```bash
npx expo install @react-native-async-storage/async-storage
```
Now, create the configuration file in your src directory. Create a file named `./i18n/index.ts` with the content below:
```ts
import i18n from "i18next";
import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next";
import * as Localization from "expo-localization";
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";
import translationEn from "./locales/en-US/translation.json";
import translationPt from "./locales/pt-BR/translation.json";
import translationZh from "./locales/zh-CN/translation.json";
const resources = {
"pt-BR": { translation: translationPt },
"en-US": { translation: translationEn },
"zh-CN": { translation: translationZh },
};
const initI18n = async () => {
let savedLanguage = await AsyncStorage.getItem("language");
if (!savedLanguage) {
savedLanguage = Localization.locale;
}
i18n.use(initReactI18next).init({
compatibilityJSON: "v3",
resources,
lng: savedLanguage,
fallbackLng: "pt-BR",
interpolation: {
escapeValue: false,
},
});
};
initI18n();
export default i18n;
```
In this example, I am using AsyncStorage to persist the internationalization data in case the user manually changes the language. Additionally, the configuration with expo-localization is used to get the device's current language.
## Import the i18n File in your root App
"I use it in `_layout.tsx`, but if your root file is `index.ts` or another file, you need to import it in that root file instead."
Example import in the file `_layout.tsx` of the root App:
```tsx
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { DarkTheme, DefaultTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { useFonts } from 'expo-font';
import { Stack } from 'expo-router';
import * as SplashScreen from 'expo-splash-screen';
import 'react-native-reanimated';
import '@/i18n'; // This line imports the i18n configuration
import { useColorScheme } from '@/hooks/useColorScheme';
export default function RootLayout() {
const colorScheme = useColorScheme();
const [loaded] = useFonts({
SpaceMono: require('../assets/fonts/SpaceMono-Regular.ttf'),
});
useEffect(() => {
if (loaded) {
SplashScreen.hideAsync();
}
}, [loaded]);
if (!loaded) {
return null;
}
return (
<ThemeProvider value={colorScheme === 'dark' ? DarkTheme : DefaultTheme}>
<Stack>
<Stack.Screen name="(tabs)" options={{ headerShown: false }} />
<Stack.Screen name="+not-found" />
</Stack>
</ThemeProvider>
);
}
```
Now you need to create your translation files and use them in your components.
## Create files for translated locales
In the i18n folder, create a folder named **locales**. Inside the **locales** folder, create subfolders for each locale, such as **en-US**, **pt-BR**, or **zh-CN**. Inside each subfolder, create a JSON file named `translation.json` with your translation entries. Below are examples of these JSON files.
name file: `./i18n/locales/en-US/translation.json`
```json

}
}
```
Excellent! Now you have translation files for English, Portuguese, and Chinese.
## Use your translations in components
Now, you need to use the translations in your components and create a list of flags for changing the locale using the **useTranslation** hook.
```tsx
// import hook
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
// inside a component
const { t } = useTranslation();
const text = t('example.text');
```
An example of basic usage in a real component:
```tsx
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, View, ScrollView, TouchableOpacity } from "react-native";
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";
import { ThemedText } from "@/components/ThemedText";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
import Brasil from "./flags/Brasil";
import USA from "./flags/USA";
import China from "./flags/China";
const flags = [
{ component: Brasil, lang: "pt-BR", name: "Brasil" },
{ component: USA, lang: "en-US", name: "USA" },
{ component: China, lang: "zh-CN", name: "China" },
];
export function Language() {
const { i18n, t } = useTranslation();
const currentLanguage = i18n.language;
useEffect(() => {
const loadLanguage = async () => {
const savedLanguage = await AsyncStorage.getItem("language");
if (savedLanguage) {
i18n.changeLanguage(savedLanguage);
}
};
loadLanguage();
}, [i18n]);
const changeLanguage = async (lang: string) => {
await AsyncStorage.setItem("language", lang);
i18n.changeLanguage(lang);
};
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<ThemedText style={styles.text}>{t('language')}</ThemedText>
<ScrollView
horizontal
showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
contentContainerStyle={styles.flagsContainer}
>
{flags.map(({ component: Flag, lang, name }) => (
<TouchableOpacity
key={name}
onPress={() => changeLanguage(lang)}
style={[
styles.flag,
currentLanguage === lang && styles.activeFlag,
currentLanguage !== lang && styles.inactiveFlag,
]}
>
<Flag width={45} height={45} />
</TouchableOpacity>
))}
</ScrollView>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
justifyContent: "center",
},
flagsContainer: {
flexDirection: "row",
paddingVertical: 10,
},
flag: {
paddingHorizontal: 10,
},
activeFlag: {
transform: [{ scale: 1.2 }],
},
inactiveFlag: {
opacity: 0.5,
},
text: {
fontSize: 22,
lineHeight: 32,
marginTop: -6,
},
});
```
Finished! You now have a React Native app with internationalization support for multiple languages, accessible to people around the world. Happy coding and enjoy your #hacktoberfest!

1,178,717 | Empowering Diversity: Imposter Syndrome and Economic Inclusion in Tech Worldwide | Definitions Imposter Syndrome Imposter syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism,... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:30:32 | https://dev.to/frtechy/empowering-diversity-imposter-syndrome-and-economic-inclusion-in-tech-worldwide-59pe | womenintech, inclusion, a11y |
**Definitions**
**Imposter Syndrome**
Imposter syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism, is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. This phenomenon is characterized by an internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be, creating a constant sense of inadequacy and fear of being discovered as a "fraud."
**Economic Inclusion**
Economic inclusion implies giving all members of society, including non-citizens and vulnerable and underserved groups, access to labor markets, finance, entrepreneurial expertise, and economic opportunities. This involves empowering women and marginalized groups to increase their financial autonomy, bargaining power, and self-esteem while reducing their exposure to risks.
**Tech**
Technology, often referred to simply as "tech," covers the group of businesses working in the research, development, and distribution of technology-based goods or services. Despite significant progress in technology and its widespread influence on various aspects of life, there remain notable disparities in economic inclusion within the tech sector.
Recent figures suggest a drop in the number of female CEOs, despite the success of campaigns such as International Women’s Day (March 8) at improving equality and diversity in the workplace. For many women, feeling like an imposter is linked to identity threat, which is more prevalent in contexts inhospitable to women, such as technical fields. Gender stereotypes suggest that women don't fit or don't have the same capabilities as men, leading to feelings of exclusion and stigma.
---
### Imposter Syndrome: A Barrier to Success
Imposter syndrome affects individuals across various fields, but its impact is particularly profound in the tech industry. The tech sector is traditionally male-dominated, and women often find themselves as minorities in their workplaces. This imbalance can intensify feelings of imposter syndrome, as women may struggle to see role models who reflect their own experiences and aspirations.
The psychological toll of imposter syndrome is significant. It can lead to chronic stress, burnout, and a reluctance to pursue opportunities for growth and advancement. For instance, a woman in tech might hesitate to apply for a promotion or take on a challenging project because she doubts her own abilities, even if she is highly qualified. This self-doubt can create a vicious cycle, where the lack of representation and mentorship perpetuates feelings of inadequacy.
Moreover, imposter syndrome can undermine one's ability to network effectively. In an industry where connections and collaborations are crucial, feeling like a fraud can make it difficult for individuals to assert themselves, share their ideas, and build professional relationships. This further isolates them from opportunities and resources that could help them succeed.
---
### Economic Inclusion: Bridging the Gap
Economic inclusion in the tech industry is not only a matter of social justice but also a driver of innovation and growth. Diverse teams bring varied perspectives and problem-solving approaches, which can lead to more creative solutions and better business outcomes. However, achieving economic inclusion requires addressing systemic barriers that prevent marginalized groups from fully participating in the tech workforce.
One major barrier is access to education and training. Many underserved communities lack the resources and opportunities to pursue education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Initiatives that provide scholarships, mentorship programs, and accessible training can help bridge this gap. For example, organizations like Girls Who Code and Black Girls CODE are working to empower young women of color with the skills and confidence to pursue careers in tech.
In addition to education, economic inclusion involves creating inclusive workplace cultures. This means not only hiring diverse talent but also fostering environments where all employees feel valued and supported. Companies can implement policies such as flexible work arrangements, robust parental leave, and diversity training to create more equitable workplaces. Leadership commitment to diversity and inclusion is crucial, as it sets the tone for the entire organization.
---
### Tech: A Sector in Transformation
The tech industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital technologies. This evolution presents both challenges and opportunities for economic inclusion. On one hand, new technologies can exacerbate existing inequalities if they are developed and deployed without consideration for diverse perspectives. For instance, biased algorithms can perpetuate discrimination in hiring, lending, and other areas.
On the other hand, technology can be a powerful tool for promoting inclusion. Digital platforms can democratize access to information, education, and economic opportunities. For example, online learning platforms like Coursera and edX provide access to high-quality education from top universities, allowing individuals from all backgrounds to acquire new skills and credentials. Similarly, remote work opportunities enabled by digital tools can make it easier for people with disabilities or caregiving responsibilities to participate in the workforce.
To harness the potential of technology for economic inclusion, it is essential to prioritize ethical considerations in tech development. This involves ensuring that diverse voices are included in the design and implementation of new technologies and that the impacts of these technologies on different communities are carefully assessed. Companies and policymakers must work together to create frameworks that promote fairness, transparency, and accountability in tech.
---
### Addressing Identity Threat and Stereotypes
Feeling like an imposter is often linked to identity threat, particularly in environments where individuals feel that they do not belong. In the tech industry, where gender and racial stereotypes persist, women and people of color may experience heightened identity threat. This can manifest in various ways, from subtle microaggressions to overt discrimination.
Addressing identity threat requires a multifaceted approach. One strategy is to increase the visibility of diverse role models in tech. When individuals see people who look like them succeeding in their field, it can help counteract feelings of exclusion and inspire confidence. Companies can highlight the achievements of women and minorities through internal communications, public relations, and community engagement efforts.
Mentorship and sponsorship programs are also vital. Mentors can provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping individuals navigate challenges and develop their careers. Sponsors, on the other hand, use their influence to advocate for the advancement of their protégés. These relationships can help break down barriers and create pathways to leadership for underrepresented groups.
---
### Practical Steps for Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
For individuals struggling with imposter syndrome, there are several strategies that can help mitigate its effects. One effective approach is to focus on evidence-based achievements. Keeping a record of accomplishments, positive feedback, and successful projects can provide tangible proof of one’s abilities and counteract negative self-perceptions.
Another strategy is to reframe failure as a learning opportunity. Everyone makes mistakes, and viewing them as chances for growth rather than as evidence of inadequacy can help build resilience. Seeking out constructive feedback and using it to improve can also foster a growth mindset.
Building a support network is crucial. Connecting with peers who share similar experiences can provide a sense of solidarity and reduce feelings of isolation. Professional organizations, networking groups, and online communities can offer valuable support and resources.
Finally, it’s important to seek professional help if imposter syndrome is significantly impacting mental health and well-being. Therapists and counselors can provide tools and techniques for managing anxiety, building self-esteem, and developing healthier thought patterns.
---
### Conclusion
Imposter syndrome and economic inclusion are deeply intertwined issues that significantly impact the tech industry. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach that includes education, workplace culture, ethical tech development, and individual support. By fostering an inclusive environment and providing opportunities for all, the tech industry can not only improve diversity but also drive innovation and growth. As we move forward, it is essential to continue these efforts and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed and thrive in the tech world.

1,901,961 | How to Memoize Client-Side Fetched Data in Next.js Using the App Router | How to Memoize Client-Side Fetched Data in Next.js Using the App Router With the release... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:26:37 | https://dev.to/sh20raj/how-to-memoize-client-side-fetched-data-in-nextjs-using-the-app-router-2fp7 | nextjs, javascript, webdev, beginners | ### How to Memoize Client-Side Fetched Data in Next.js Using the App Router
With the release of Next.js 13, the App Router introduces a new way to define routes and manage data fetching in a more flexible and powerful manner. In this guide, we will demonstrate how to memoize client-side fetched data using the App Router.
#### Why Memoize Client-Side Fetched Data?
- **Performance Improvement**: Reduce redundant data fetching, leading to faster page loads and smoother interactions.
- **Reduced Network Usage**: Minimize the number of network requests, saving bandwidth and reducing server load.
- **Enhanced User Experience**: Provide instant data access from the cache, leading to a more responsive application.
#### Implementing Memoization in Next.js with the App Router
Here is a step-by-step guide to memoizing client-side fetched data in a Next.js application using React's built-in hooks and caching mechanisms within the new App Router paradigm.
##### Step 1: Set Up Your Next.js Project
If you haven't already, create a new Next.js project:
```bash
npx create-next-app@latest memoize-example
cd memoize-example
```
##### Step 2: Install Required Packages
You may want to use a caching library like `lru-cache` to help manage your cache. Install it using npm:
```bash
npm install lru-cache
```
##### Step 3: Create a Cache
Create a cache instance using `lru-cache`. This cache will store the fetched data.
```javascript
// lib/cache.js
import LRU from 'lru-cache';
const options = {
max: 100, // Maximum number of items in the cache
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 5, // Items expire after 5 minutes
};
const cache = new LRU(options);
export default cache;
```
##### Step 4: Fetch Data with Memoization
Create a custom hook to fetch and memoize data. This hook will check the cache before making a network request.
```javascript
// hooks/useFetchWithMemo.js
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import cache from '../lib/cache';
const useFetchWithMemo = (url) => {
const [data, setData] = useState(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
setLoading(true);
setError(null);
// Check if the data is in the cache
const cachedData = cache.get(url);
if (cachedData) {
setData(cachedData);
setLoading(false);
return;
}
try {
const response = await fetch(url);
const result = await response.json();
// Store the fetched data in the cache
cache.set(url, result);
setData(result);
} catch (err) {
setError(err);
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
};
fetchData();
}, [url]);
return { data, loading, error };
};
export default useFetchWithMemo;
```
##### Step 5: Define a Route Using the App Router
In the new App Router, you define routes using a file-based routing system inside the `app` directory. Create a new file for your route.
```javascript
// app/page.js
import useFetchWithMemo from '../hooks/useFetchWithMemo';
const HomePage = () => {
const { data, loading, error } = useFetchWithMemo('https://api.example.com/data');
if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;
if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;
return (
<div>
<h1>Data</h1>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</pre>
</div>
);
};
export default HomePage;
```
##### Step 6: Configure Caching Strategy (Optional)
Depending on your use case, you might want to fine-tune the caching strategy. For example, you can adjust the cache expiration time, the maximum number of items, or even implement cache invalidation logic based on your application's requirements.
```javascript
// lib/cache.js
const options = {
max: 50, // Maximum number of items in the cache
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 10, // Items expire after 10 minutes
};
const cache = new LRU(options);
export default cache;
```
#### Conclusion
By memoizing client-side fetched data in a Next.js application using the App Router, you can significantly enhance performance, reduce network usage, and improve the overall user experience. With the help of caching libraries like `lru-cache` and custom hooks, implementing memoization becomes straightforward and manageable. Experiment with different caching strategies to find the best fit for your application's needs, and enjoy the benefits of a more efficient and responsive Next.js application. | sh20raj |
1,901,939 | Gym Planner | My Coding Adventure as a Code Newbie | I am a gap year student, currently on a journey of my own, learning how to code, to upskill in... | 0 | 2024-06-27T01:26:28 | https://dev.to/s-city/gym-planner-my-coding-adventure-as-a-code-newbie-h8p | computerscience, python, codenewbie, codecademy | I am a gap year student, currently on a journey of my own, learning how to code, to upskill in different areas in computer science. This path that I find myself on, a path of learning and adventure, with the guidance of Codecademy, is what led me too write my first program, and to write this first blog of mine. I must admit, for every problem that I faced, to solve bugs, issues and to have a working program, has invoked a sense of excitement and deepened my motivation.
This is one of my first few programs written in the programming language Python. Initially, this project was to create a terminal game, but I wanted my program to be of somewhat useful in the real world. This is a terminal-based program and serves the purpose to help decide any gym goers on what exercises to do based on what muscle groups they want to train. At the beginning of the program would prompt the user to enter their name, and a personalised welcome message would follow.
The user is asked to select their desired muscle group that they would want to train. Based on this, the program would iterate through a list of exercises working the selected muscle group. Users can either add or reject the exercises.
There is a limit of three exercises per muscle group. The user is required to select another muscle group to train alongside with their first choice, and an additional three exercises. The only exception being legs, where is limited to six exercises and there are no secondary muscle group to train alongside with legs.
The program would finally then return the exercise plan, a result of their muscle groups and a list of exercises linked to those muscle groups.

Go ahead and check out my program on GitHub, any suggestions and improvements are most welcome :) | s-city |

However, I did not go into the details of Network Access Control Lists (NACLs) and Security Groups (SGs). This doesn't mean the significance of these core aspects of AWS networking is lost on me. The purpose of this write up is to provide you with an in depth examination of Security Groups and NACLs. I recommend reading [the article](https://aws.plainenglish.io/understanding-vpcs-and-subnets-foundations-for-aws-networking-316eae93167f) I wrote on VPCs and subnets before coming back to this one. If you went to read that, welcome back and without further ado let's get to business!
## Network Access Control Lists
As we all know, security is a very important component of your AWS infrastructure and it is something that should always be top of mind when you are implementing solutions in the cloud.
NACLs are security filters that control the flow of traffic in and out of a subnet. When you create a subnet in the AWS cloud, a default NACL is associated with it if you didn't explicitly configure one while creating the subnet. These defaults NACLs allow all inbound and outbound to and from the subnet respectively. Because of this, they pose a security threat. To eliminate this security threat you can configure your NACL by adding rules to it. These rules could either be inbound or outbound.
Each inbound rule added to you NACL is made up of the following fields:
- A **Rule number** (Rule #) which determines the order in which the rules are evaluated.
- A **Type** field which determines the type of inbound traffic you want to allow or deny into the subnets the NACL is associated with.
- A **Protocol** field which determines the protocols used by the inbound traffic.
- **Port range** field which determines the range of ports to be used by the inbound traffic.
- **Source** which determines the source IP address range of the inbound traffic and
- An **Allow / Deny** field which determines whether the rule is allowing or denying the inbound traffic.
The image below shows a visual example of NACL inbound rules:
For outbound rules, all the fields are the same except for the Source field which is replaced with a Destination field determining the destination of outbound traffic from the subnets associated with the NACL.
NACLs are **stateless**. This means any response traffic generated from a request needs to be explicitly allowed else they are a denied implicitly. To put it simply, when traffic is allowed from particular source with a particular port range, type and protocol, the return traffic to that source is not allowed by default and you have explicitly allow it.
> Noteworthy: A subnet can only have one NACL associated with it at any point in time but a NACL can be associated with multiple subnets at a time.
Now let's move on to security groups.
## Security Groups
Security Groups are much like NACLs with a few difference such as: SGs control the flow of traffic in and out of an EC2 instance, they are stateful unlike NACLs which are stateless. Let's unpack each of these aspects in more detail.
Security Groups also act as traffic filters but rather than working at the subnet level like NACLs do, they work at the instance level. They have similar fields to NACL rules except for the fact that there is no Rule # and Allow / Deny fields. Since SG rules do not have rule numbers to determine the order which they are evaluated, all the rules in a security group have to be evaluated before a decision is made on the flow of traffic.
SGs have only allow rules implying that any traffic that is not allowed by a security group rule is denied. Because security groups are stateful, any traffic allowed into an instance, the return traffic is allowed by default. The image below shows some examples of security group rules.
As a final recap, NACLs filter traffic at the subnet level and they are stateless while SGs filter traffic at the instance level and they are stateful.
## Conclusion
We have seen how security groups and NACLs work together to control the flow of traffic into and out of your AWS environment. Configuring NACLs and SGs is your responsibility as stipulated by the AWS Shared Responsibility Model so learning how to use them properly will greatly improve the security posture of your AWS infrastructure. This is where this article ends but it shouldn't be where you end your journey of learning about Security Groups and NACLs. Good luck in all your endeavors.

# Encapsulamento
é um dos princípios fundamentais da programação orientada a objetos (POO). O encapsulamento consiste em ocultar os detalhes internos de um objeto e expor apenas a interface necessária. Essa prática tem como objetivo proteger o estado interno do objeto contra acessos diretos e não autorizados, promovendo a modularidade e facilitando a manutenção do código.
## Principais Conceitos
**Atributos Privados:** Variáveis que armazenam o estado interno de um objeto e são acessíveis apenas dentro da classe onde são definidas. Em linguagens como Java e Python, usa-se o modificador de acesso private ou o prefixo _ para denotar atributos privados.
**Métodos Públicos:** Funções que permitem a interação com o objeto e seu estado de forma controlada. Estes métodos expõem a funcionalidade do objeto sem revelar os detalhes de implementação.
**Getters e Setters:** Métodos específicos para acessar e modificar atributos privados. Um getter permite ler o valor de um atributo privado, enquanto um setter permite modificá-lo.
## Como funciona em Go
**Campos e Funções não Exportados:** Em Go, se um campo ou uma função começa com uma letra minúscula, ele é acessível apenas dentro do pacote onde foi definido. Esse é o modo como Go implementa encapsulamento.
**Campos e Funções Exportados:** Se um campo ou uma função começa com uma letra maiúscula, ele é exportado e pode ser acessado de outros pacotes.
```go
package main
import "fmt"
// Conta é uma estrutura que representa uma conta bancária.
type Conta struct {
numero int
saldo float64
}
// Depositar é um método que adiciona um valor ao saldo da conta.
func (c *Conta) Depositar(valor float64) {
c.saldo += valor
}
// Sacar é um método que subtrai um valor do saldo da conta.
func (c *Conta) Sacar(valor float64) {
c.saldo -= valor
}
// Saldo é um método que retorna o saldo da conta.
func (c *Conta) Saldo() float64 {
return c.saldo
}
func main() {
// Cria uma nova conta com saldo inicial de 100.0.
conta := Conta{numero: 123, saldo: 100.0}
// Tell, Don't Ask - Princípio de design de software.
// Depositar e Sacar são métodos que informam a conta sobre as ações a serem realizadas.
conta.Depositar(50.0)
conta.Sacar(25.0)
fmt.Println(conta.Saldo())
}
```
```shell
encampulamento ➜ go run main.go
125
```
Neste exemplo, a estrutura `Conta` possui dois campos privados (`numero` e `saldo`) e três métodos públicos (`Depositar`, `Sacar` e `Saldo`). Dessa forma, o estado interno da conta é protegido contra acessos diretos e não autorizados, garantindo que as operações de depósito e saque sejam realizadas de forma segura.
# Tell, Don't Ask
Tell, Don't Ask é um princípio de design de software que sugere que os objetos devem ser responsáveis por realizar ações e não por fornecer informações. Em vez de perguntar a um objeto sobre seu estado interno e tomar decisões com base nesse estado, o princípio Tell, Don't Ask recomenda que o objeto seja informado sobre o que deve ser feito e tome as ações necessárias.
## Afirmando o Princípio
No mesmo exemplo acima, a estrutura `Conta` possui três métodos públicos (`Depositar`, `Sacar` e `Saldo`) que permitem interagir com o objeto sem acessar diretamente seu estado interno. Dessa forma, o princípio `Tell, Don't Ask` é seguido, pois o objeto `Conta` é informado sobre as ações a serem realizadas (`depósito` e `saque`) e toma as ações necessárias.
# Conclusão
O encapsulamento é um conceito fundamental da programação orientada a objetos que visa proteger o estado interno de um objeto contra acessos diretos e não autorizados. Em Go, o encapsulamento é implementado por meio de campos e funções não exportados, que são acessíveis apenas dentro do pacote onde foram definidos. Dessa forma, é possível garantir a integridade e a segurança do objeto, promovendo a modularidade e facilitando a manutenção do código.

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. Leveraging TypeScript, it integrates elements from modern frameworks such as Angular to create a robust development experience. This tutorial will guide you through creating a simple, yet comprehensive API using NestJS, touching on its core concepts and demonstrating how to implement various features.
## Prerequisites – NestJS
Before we dive into NestJS, ensure you have the following installed:
- Node.js (version 12 or higher)
- npm or yarn
- TypeScript
## Step 1: Setting Up Your NestJS Project – NestJS
**Start by installing the NestJS CLI globally:**
```bash
npm install -g @nestjs/cli
```
**Create a new project using the CLI:**
```bash
nest new my-nestjs-app
```
**Navigate to your project directory:**
```bash
cd my-nestjs-app
```

---
## Step 2: Understanding the Project Structure - NestJS
NestJS projects follow a modular architecture. Here's a brief overview of the default structure:
```
src/: Contains your application's source code.
app.controller.ts: Handles incoming requests and returns responses.
app.service.ts: Contains the business logic.
app.module.ts: The root module of the application.
test/: Contains the testing files.
main.ts: The entry point of the application.
```
---
## Step 3: Creating Your First Module - NestJS
Modules are fundamental building blocks of a NestJS application. Create a new module called users:
```bash
nest generate module users
```
This will generate a users directory inside the src folder with a users.module.ts file.
---
## Step 4: Creating Controllers and Services
Controllers handle incoming requests and return responses, while services contain the business logic. Generate a controller and service for the users module:
```bash
nest generate controller users
nest generate service users
```
---
## Step 5: Implementing the Users Service
Open src/users/users.service.ts and implement basic CRUD operations:
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
export interface User {
id: number;
name: string;
age: number;
}
@Injectable()
export class UsersService {
private readonly users: User[] = [
{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Alice Caeiro', age: 20 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Who Knows', age: 25 },
];
findAll(): User[] {
return this.users;
}
findOne(id: number): User {
return this.users.find((user) => user.id === id);
}
create(user: User) {
this.users.push(user);
}
update(id: number, updatedUser: User) {
const userIndex = this.users.findIndex((user) => user.id === id);
if (userIndex > -1) {
this.users[userIndex] = updatedUser;
}
}
delete(id: number) {
const index = this.users.findIndex((user) => user.id === id);
if (index !== -1) {
this.users.splice(index, 1);
}
}
}
```
---
## Step 6: Implementing the Users Controller
Open src/users/users.controller.ts and connect the service to handle HTTP requests:
```typescript
import { Controller, Get, Post, Put, Delete, Param, Body } from '@nestjs/common';
import { UsersService, User } from './users.service';
@Controller('users')
export class UsersController {
constructor(private readonly usersService: UsersService) {}
@Get()
findAll(): User[] {
return this.usersService.findAll();
}
@Get(':id')
findOne(@Param('id') id: string): User {
return this.usersService.findOne(+id);
}
@Post()
create(@Body() user: User) {
this.usersService.create(user);
}
@Put(':id')
update(@Param('id') id: string, @Body() user: User) {
this.usersService.update(+id, user);
}
@Delete(':id')
delete(@Param('id') id: string) {
this.usersService.delete(+id);
}
}
```
** Fun Fact: the + in +id is a unary plus operator that converts a string to a number in JavaScript and TypeScript! FUN! 🤓 **
---
## Step 7: Integrating the Users Module
Ensure the UsersModule is imported in the root AppModule. Open src/app.module.ts:
```typescript
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { UsersModule } from './users/users.module';
@Module({
imports: [UsersModule],
controllers: [AppController],
providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}
```
---
## Step 8: Running the Application
Start the application:
```bash
npm run start
```
**Visit http://localhost:3000/users to see your API in action.**
## Conclusion
Congratulations! You've created a basic NestJS API with CRUD functionality. This tutorial covers the foundational concepts of NestJS, but there's much more to explore. NestJS offers powerful features like dependency injection, middleware, guards, interceptors, and more.
Dive into the official documentation to continue your journey and build more advanced applications with NestJS. Happy coding!

## Features
1. **Customizable Charts and Graphs:** With D3.js, developers can create a wide range of charts and graphs, including bar charts, line graphs, and heat maps.
2. **Real-time Data Updates:** With React's virtual DOM and D3.js's data binding, data changes can be reflected in real-time on the dashboard.
3. **Responsive Dashboard Layout:** React's responsive design and D3.js's scalability make it easy to create a dashboard that is optimized for different screen sizes and devices.
### Example of Integrating React and D3.js
```javascript
import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import * as d3 from 'd3';
function BarChart({ data }) {
const ref = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
const svg = d3.select(ref.current);
svg.selectAll("*").remove(); // Clear svg content before adding new elements
svg.append('g')
.selectAll('rect')
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('rect')
.attr('x', (d, i) => i * 70)
.attr('y', d => 200 - 10 * d)
.attr('width', 65)
.attr('height', d => d * 10)
.attr('fill', 'teal');
}, [data]); // Redraw chart if data changes
return <svg ref={ref} style={{ width: 800, height: 200 }} />;
}
export default BarChart;
```
This example demonstrates how to create a simple bar chart using React and D3.js, showcasing the integration of these two technologies for effective data visualization.
## Conclusion

Your instructor here again #KOToka
🔐 Authentication: Verifying the identity of users. It's the process of ensuring users are who they claim to be.
In Node.js, popular libraries like Passport.js simplify this process by providing strategies for local and third-party (OAuth) authentication.
🔓 Authorization: Determining what authenticated users are allowed to do. This step decides if a user has permission to access specific resources or perform actions.
Tools like JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and roles-based access control (RBAC) are commonly used to handle authorization in Node.js applications.
🌟 Key Libraries:
- Passport.js: A versatile middleware for authentication.
- JWT: Securely transmit information between parties.
- Bcrypt: Safely hash and store passwords.
Implementing strong authentication and authorization ensures your Node.js applications are secure and your users' data is protected.

Vamos explorar um pouco de maneira simples e fácil de entender
## Introdução
Portas abertas em um servidor são como portas de entrada para diferentes serviços. Saber quais portas estão abertas pode ajudar você a entender melhor a segurança do seu site ou simplesmente satisfazer sua curiosidade sobre o funcionamento interno de um site. Vamos mergulhar em um script que escaneia essas portas usando Python.
## Código completo
```
import socket
import argparse
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
# Função para verificar uma única porta
def scan_port(host, port):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.settimeout(1) # Define um timeout de 1 segundo
try:
sock.connect((host, port))
return port, True
except (socket.timeout, socket.error):
return port, False
finally:
sock.close()
# Função para escanear uma lista de portas
def scan_ports(host, ports, max_workers=100):
open_ports = []
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor:
futures = [executor.submit(scan_port, host, port) for port in ports]
for future in futures:
port, is_open = future.result()
if is_open:
open_ports.append(port)
return open_ports
# Mapear portas para serviços comuns
port_service_map = {
21: 'ftp', 22: 'ssh', 23: 'telnet', 25: 'smtp', 53: 'domain', 80: 'http',

def main():
# Configurar o parser de argumentos
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Scan ports on a specified website")
parser.add_argument("website", help="The website to scan, e.g., www.example.com")

# Obter o site a partir dos argumentos
website = args.website
# Definir as portas a serem escaneadas (ports mais comuns escaneadas pelo nmap)
ports_to_scan = list(port_service_map.keys())
# Obter o endereço IP do site
try:
host = socket.gethostbyname(website)
except socket.gaierror:
print(f"Não foi possível resolver o hostname: {website}")
return
print(f"Iniciando escaneamento de {website} ({host})...")
# Escanear as portas e exibir as portas abertas
open_ports = scan_ports(host, ports_to_scan)
print(f"PORTA ESTADO SERVIÇO")
for port in ports_to_scan:
state = "aberta" if port in open_ports else "fechada"

print(f"{port:<9} {state:<12} {service}")
print("Escaneamento concluído.")
if __name__ == "__main__":

```
### Explicação do Script
Nosso script utiliza algumas bibliotecas essenciais do Python: `socket`, `argparse` e `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`. Aqui está um passo a passo do que cada parte do script faz:
**Importações e Configurações Iniciais**
```
import socket
import argparse
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
```
Esses comandos importam os módulos necessários para o nosso script. `socket` é usado para criar conexões de rede, `argparse` para lidar com argumentos de linha de comando, e `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` para executar tarefas em paralelo, aumentando a eficiência do nosso escaneamento de portas.
---
**Função para Verificar uma Porta**
```
def scan_port(host, port):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.settimeout(1) # Define um timeout de 1 segundo
try:
sock.connect((host, port))
return port, True
except (socket.timeout, socket.error):
return port, False
finally:
sock.close()
```
A função `scan_port` tenta conectar a uma porta específica em um host. Se a conexão for bem-sucedida, a porta está aberta; caso contrário, está fechada. O timeout de 1 segundo garante que a tentativa de conexão não demore muito.
---
**Função para Escanear Múltiplas Portas**
```
def scan_ports(host, ports, max_workers=100):
open_ports = []
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor:
futures = [executor.submit(scan_port, host, port) for port in ports]
for future in futures:
port, is_open = future.result()
if is_open:
open_ports.append(port)
return open_ports
```
A função `scan_ports` utiliza `ThreadPoolExecutor` para escanear várias portas ao mesmo tempo. Ela cria uma lista de tarefas, cada uma verificando uma porta diferente, e armazena as portas abertas em uma lista.
---
**Mapeamento de Portas para Serviços Comuns**
```
port_service_map = {
21: 'ftp', 22: 'ssh', 23: 'telnet', 25: 'smtp', 53: 'domain', 80: 'http',
110: 'pop3', 123: 'ntp', 135: 'msrpc', 139: 'netbios-ssn', 143: 'imap',
161: 'snmp', 194: 'irc', 389: 'ldap', 443: 'https', 445: 'microsoft-ds',
465: 'smtps', 512: 'exec', 513: 'login', 514: 'shell', 587: 'submission',
636: 'ldaps', 873: 'rsync', 990: 'ftps', 993: 'imaps', 995: 'pop3s',
1080: 'socks', 1194: 'openvpn', 1433: 'ms-sql-s', 1434: 'ms-sql-m',
1521: 'oracle', 1723: 'pptp', 3306: 'mysql', 3389: 'ms-wbt-server',
5060: 'sip', 5432: 'postgresql', 5900: 'vnc', 5984: 'couchdb', 6379: 'redis',
6667: 'irc', 8000: 'http-alt', 8080: 'http-proxy', 8443: 'https-alt',
8888: 'sun-answerbook', 9000: 'cslistener', 9200: 'wap-wsp', 10000: 'webmin',
11211: 'memcached', 27017: 'mongodb'
}
```
Aqui, temos um dicionário que mapeia números de portas para seus serviços comuns, como FTP, SSH e HTTP. Isso ajuda a identificar rapidamente quais serviços estão rodando nas portas abertas.
---
**Função Principal**
```
def main():
# Configurar o parser de argumentos
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Scan ports on a specified website")
parser.add_argument("website", help="The website to scan, e.g., www.example.com")
args = parser.parse_args()
# Obter o site a partir dos argumentos
website = args.website
# Definir as portas a serem escaneadas (ports mais comuns escaneadas pelo nmap)
ports_to_scan = list(port_service_map.keys())
# Obter o endereço IP do site
try:
host = socket.gethostbyname(website)
except socket.gaierror:
print(f"Não foi possível resolver o hostname: {website}")
return
print(f"Iniciando escaneamento de {website} ({host})...")
# Escanear as portas e exibir as portas abertas
open_ports = scan_ports(host, ports_to_scan)
print(f"PORTA ESTADO SERVIÇO")
for port in ports_to_scan:
state = "aberta" if port in open_ports else "fechada"
service = port_service_map.get(port, "unknown")
print(f"{port:<9} {state:<12} {service}")
print("Escaneamento concluído.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
A função `main` faz todo o trabalho de configurar o escaneamento. Primeiro, ela define os argumentos de linha de comando e obtém o website a ser escaneado. Depois, ela resolve o nome do host para um endereço IP e começa a escanear as portas mais comuns. Finalmente, ela exibe o estado de cada porta (aberta ou fechada) junto com o serviço correspondente.
### Exemplo:
```
[user@hostname ]$ python scan.py www.google.com
Iniciando escaneamento de www.google.com (142.250.79.4)...

9000 fechada cslistener
9200 fechada wap-wsp
10000 fechada webmin
11211 fechada memcached
27017 fechada mongodb
Escaneamento concluído.

---
## Introducción
Siguiendo con nuestros tutoriales, vamos a conectar Argo CD con Azure Devops, pero antes debemos preparar nuestro pipeline.
Para que se tenga una idea más clara he creado este diagrama:
Este es el video de la guía para que lo veas y vayas siguiendo paso a paso conmigo:
{% youtube JHtEBdPTkQ4 %}
<!-- <iframe allowfullscreen="" youtube-src-id="JHtEBdPTkQ4" width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JHtEBdPTkQ4"></iframe> -->
Necesitamos un par de requisitos:
- Crear un nuevo repositorio para nuestros manifest.
- Dar permisos a los repositorios
- Programación de pipeline
- Agregar repositorio Deploy al pipeline
- Crear nuevo Stage de Deploy en el pipeline
## Crear un nuevo repositorio para nuestros manifest.
- Crear otro repositorio para nuestros manifests de kubernetes, aunque se puede usar el mismo repositorio creando una carpeta y dentro de ella meter los manifests, en este ejemplo vamos a usar otro repositorio, así aprendemos a llamar otro repositorio dentro del pipeline.
- Vamos a la pestaña donde está la ruta completa de nuestro repositorio, damos click en New repository y creamos uno nuevo que se llamará Deploy, en dicho repositorio vamos a subir nuestros manifest. Creamos una carpeta llamada k8s y dentro vamos a poner los archivos manifest, ahora vamos a abrir el archivo 02-deployment.yaml y buscamos la línea:
```yaml
image: ahioros/rdicidr:latest
```
Y la cambiamos por:
```yaml
image: ahioros/rdicidr:12
```
**Nota** :Puede ser cualquier número entero positivo esto será cambiado por nuestro pipeline mas adelante.
Ahora si subimos (commit, push) los archivos yaml al repositorio Deploy quedando de la siguiente manera:
## Dar permisos a los repositorios
Estos permisos son necesarios para poder realizar el push desde el pipeline hacia el repositorio Deploy.
Entramos a nuestros proyecto en Azure Devops -> Proyect Settings -> Repos -> Repositories.
veremos un listado con nuestros repositorios del proyecto, damos click en la pestaña que dice Security, buscamos el usuario de servicio del proyecto y por último hay que dar permisos de Contribute, Create tag, Read. Quedando como se muestra en la siguiente imagen:
## Programación de pipeline
Es la hora de escribir,abrimos el pipeline que hemos estado haciendo desde los post anteriores es decir el que se encuentra en el repositorio de nuestra aplicación (azure-pipelines.yml):
### Agregar repositorio Deploy al pipeline
A nuestro pipeline debemos agregarle como recurso el repositorio Deploy que acabamos de crear.
```yaml
- master
...
...
resources:
repositories:
- repository: DeployRepo
type: git
name: DockerHub Test/Deploy
trigger: none
...
...
pool:
```
**Donde:**
DeployRepo es el nombre que he usado para idenficarlo (más adelante lo usaremos).
DockerHub Test/Deploy es el lugar donde se encuentra nuestro repositorio que queremos usar.
trigger: none es importante porque de lo contrario entraríamos en un loop infinito ya que cuando hacemos un update en el Repositorio se actualizan los manifest y esto a su vez actualiza el repo y este a su vez actualiza los manifest... creo que ya entendiste a lo que me refiero.
### Crear nuevo Stage de Deploy en el pipeline
Ahora que tenemos el repositorio Deploy, podemos crear un nuevo stage de deploy en nuestro pipeline. Después de nuestro stage Containerized vamos a crear un stage nuevo llamado Deploy.
```yaml
- stage: Deploy
dependsOn: Containerized
jobs:
- job: Deployment
steps:
- checkout: DeployRepo
clean: true
persistCredentials: true
fetchDepth: 0
- bash: |
TAG=$(Build.BuildId)
EXP="image: ahioros/rdicidr:[0-9]+"
REP="image: ahioros/rdicidr:$TAG"
sed -E -i "s|$EXP|$REP|g" k8s/02-deployment.yaml
git config user.name "Argo CD"
git config user.email "ArgoCD@example.com"
git checkout master --
git add --all
git commit -m "Deployment ID: $(Build.BuildId)"
git push origin master
displayName: 'Deploy'
```
Lo que realiza este stage es que descarga los manifest del repositorio Deploy, hacemos un reemplazo de la versión con la nueva docker image tag en nuestro manifest y volvemos a subir los cambios que realizamos al su repositorio.
**Nota** : El reemplazo se puede hacer usando la herramienta **replaceTokens** que se encuentra en el market de Azure Devops, que realiza lo mismo que hacemos con el comando sed.
¿Por qué defino otro usuario llamado Argo CD para git? Resulta que muchas veces se quiere llevar un control de los deploys y ver quien hizo los cambios si el pipeline o tuvo que ir alguien a hacerlo a "mano".
## Listo
Hasta aquí dejamos los pipelines listos para ser ejecutados. En el siguiente post iremos a configurar Argo CD. | ahioros |

This card contains the user's avatar, name, and email. The card is then appended to an element called `servicesContent`.
---
```
// Iterate through each user object in the userList array
userList.forEach(el => {
// Create a 'card' div with user details using the createElement function
const card = createElement('div', 'card', `
<img src="${el.avatar}" alt="img" class="w-3">
<div class="p-2">
<h1>${el.last_name} ${el.first_name}</h1>
<p>${el.email}</p>
</div>
`);
// Append the created card to the servicesContent element
servicesContent.append(card);
});
```
---
### Detailed Steps
1. **Iterate through `userList`:** The forEach method loops through each user object (`el`) in the `userList` array.
2. **Create a Card:** For each user object, a `div` element with the class `card` is created. This card contains:
- An `img` element displaying the user's avatar.
- A `div` with the user's name and email.
3. **Append the Card:** The created card is appended to the `servicesContent` element.
---
### Key Points
**`createElement Function:`** This is used to create the card element. **It takes three arguments:** the tag name (`'div'`), the class list (`'card'`), and the inner HTML content (a template literal containing the user's details).
**Template Literals:** Template literals (enclosed in backticks ``) allow embedding variables directly into the string using `${variable}` syntax.
**Appending to the DOM:** The `append` method adds the created card element to the servicesContent element in the DOM.
---
This code dynamically creates and adds a user card to the webpage for each user in the userList array. | __khojiakbar__ |

The **createElement** function creates a new HTML element with optional classes and content.
### Parameters
**tagName**: The type of element you want to create (e.g., `'div'`, `'h1'`).
**classList**: (Optional) A string of classes you want to add to the element.
**content**: (Optional) The inner HTML content you want to add inside the element.
### Steps
1. It creates a new element of the type specified by **tagName**.
2. If **classList** is provided, it sets the element's class attribute.
3. If **content** is provided, it sets the element's inner HTML content.
4. It returns the created element.
```
function createElement(tagName, classList, content) {
// Create an element of type tagName
const tag = document.createElement(tagName);
// If classList is provided, set the class attribute
if (classList) tag.setAttribute('class', classList);
// If content is provided, set the inner HTML
if (content) tag.innerHTML = content;
// Return the created element
return tag;
}
// Example usage
console.log(createElement('h1', 'bg-success p-3', 'Hello world'));
// Output: <h1 class="bg-success p-3">Hello world</h1>
console.log(createElement('div'));
// Output: <div></div>
```
### In the examples:
- The first call creates an `<h1>` element with the classes `bg-success` and `p-3`, and the content "Hello world".
- The second call creates an empty `<div>` element with no classes or content.

No centro desse vasto sistema de comunicação está o Protocolo de Internet (IP), uma das peças fundamentais que tornam possível a comunicação entre dispositivos. Neste artigo, vamos explorar o que é o Protocolo IP, como ele funciona, e sua importância nas redes modernas. E não se esqueça de conferir meu trabalho no GitHub [IamThiago-IT](https://github.com/IamThiago-IT).
### O Que é o Protocolo IP?
O Protocolo de Internet (IP) é um conjunto de regras que governam o formato dos dados enviados pela internet ou por qualquer outra rede. Ele é responsável por endereçar e encaminhar pacotes de dados de sua origem até seu destino. Cada dispositivo conectado à rede possui um endereço IP único, que funciona de maneira similar a um endereço postal, permitindo que os dados sejam entregues corretamente.
### Como Funciona o Protocolo IP?
O funcionamento do IP pode ser entendido em três partes principais: endereçamento, fragmentação e roteamento.
1. **Endereçamento**: Cada dispositivo em uma rede IP é identificado por um endereço IP. Existem dois tipos de endereços IP: IPv4 e IPv6. O IPv4 é composto por quatro blocos de números, enquanto o IPv6, mais recente e complexo, utiliza oito blocos, permitindo um número muito maior de endereços disponíveis.
2. **Fragmentação**: Os dados enviados pela internet são divididos em pequenos pacotes. O protocolo IP fragmenta os dados grandes em partes menores, que são enviadas separadamente e reagrupadas no destino final.
3. **Roteamento**: O roteamento é o processo de determinar o caminho que os pacotes de dados seguirão para chegar ao seu destino. Os roteadores são dispositivos que lêem o endereço IP de cada pacote e decidem a melhor rota para encaminhá-los.
### Importância do Protocolo IP
O Protocolo IP é essencial para a comunicação na internet por vários motivos:
- **Universalidade**: O IP é usado globalmente, o que significa que qualquer dispositivo conectado à internet pode se comunicar com qualquer outro, independentemente da localização geográfica.
- **Escalabilidade**: Com o advento do IPv6, o IP pode suportar um número praticamente ilimitado de dispositivos, o que é crucial para o crescimento contínuo da Internet das Coisas (IoT).
- **Flexibilidade**: O IP é agnóstico em relação à tecnologia de rede subjacente, funcionando em redes com e sem fio, Ethernet, Wi-Fi e muitas outras.
### Desafios e Futuro do Protocolo IP
Apesar de sua importância, o Protocolo IP enfrenta alguns desafios. O esgotamento dos endereços IPv4 levou ao desenvolvimento do IPv6, que ainda está em processo de adoção global. Além disso, a segurança continua sendo uma preocupação, com o IP sendo uma das áreas focais na implementação de medidas de segurança para proteger contra ataques cibernéticos.
O futuro do Protocolo IP é promissor, com a contínua evolução da internet e a integração de mais dispositivos na rede global. A adoção do IPv6 é um passo essencial para garantir que a internet possa continuar crescendo e suportando novas tecnologias e aplicações.
### Conclusão
O Protocolo de Internet é a espinha dorsal da comunicação na internet, permitindo que dispositivos em todo o mundo se conectem e troquem informações de maneira eficiente e confiável. Com a evolução contínua das tecnologias de rede, o IP continuará a desempenhar um papel crucial no desenvolvimento da infraestrutura da internet.

在测试过程中，我们发现了一些小的技巧，在此记录一二。
## 打印日志
iOS 14 引入的 `OSLog` 库能够让我们用现代而高效的日志来刻画程序运行状态。通过创建一个由环境变量控制的 [`Logger`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/os/logging/generating_log_messages_from_your_code)，我们可以在 debug build 里打出更多日志，而毋需影响 release build。
## 导出日志
iOS app 的后台行为之所以难测，是因为一旦程序被操作系统挂起、进入所谓“假死”、“软退出”的状态后，Xcode 的 debugger 就不再和程序连接在一起了。因此，也没法通过看 debugger 的输出来决定程序目前到底处在什么状态、下载数据下载到多少。
这个时候我们就需要把在真实设备上运行的程序日志，输出到电脑上查看。通过以下的命令
```sh
sudo log collect --device-name "My iPhone" --last 10m --output "~/Desktop"
```
可以把设备上之前10分钟的日志输出到桌面的 `.logarchive` 文件里，从而用 macOS 的 Console 控制台软件打开。
## 如何模拟后台运行
Eskimo 曾经写过一个很好的回答：https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/14855
主要的几点：
- 可以用 syscall `exit(0)` 来模拟类似挂起的“软退出”。在 iOS 上滑的后台管理界面里，如果你拖拽来杀后台的话，系统默认是“硬退出”，从而会导致后台任务被完全暂停；而如果只是上滑把程序放进后台，而不手动杀后台的话，系统会时不常分给程序一点儿后台时间，从而让后台下载数据的任务持续进行
- 尽量用真实设备，而非模拟器来测试后台行为
- 为了确保后台行为的可重复性，建议每次都删掉之前的测试 app ，或者手动清空数据，或者使用 `invalidateAndCancel()` 方法来重置 app 的状态 | yo1995 |

It often surprises people when I suggest them to rest or read something when they have completed their Sprint tasks.
***You don't always have to be doing something.***
Managers often believe that keeping everyone occupied is essential, feeling accomplished when everyone around them is busy.
However, in software delivery, it's more like a relay race. (as Taiichi Ohno of Toyota said). Each team member plays a crucial role in achieving the common goal by completing their part.
We should focus on passing ***the baton forward*** by working on items that matter and provide (business) ***value***, rather than just staying busy and actually, ***keep running in circles***.
Taking a break, observing or reading something that interest you, can help you identify what truly matters, allowing you to get back to the race and pass the baton effectively.

1,901,902 | Augmented Reality and the Metaverse | Introduction Augmented Reality (AR) and the Metaverse are transforming how we interact... | 27,673 | 2024-06-26T22:46:59 | https://dev.to/rapidinnovation/augmented-reality-and-the-metaverse-28en | ## Introduction
Augmented Reality (AR) and the Metaverse are transforming how we interact with
the digital world. AR adds digital elements to a live view, often using a
smartphone camera, while the Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space
created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality.
These technologies are set to revolutionize entertainment, gaming, education,
healthcare, and retail.
## What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality (AR) superimposes computer-generated images, sounds, or
other data onto the real world, enhancing one's perception of reality. Unlike
virtual reality, which creates a totally artificial environment, AR uses the
existing environment and overlays new information on top of it.
## How Augmented Reality Works
AR integrates digital information with the user's environment in real time. It
functions through devices like smartphones, tablets, AR glasses, and head-
mounted displays. Technologies like computer vision, machine learning, and
depth tracking play crucial roles in merging digital content with the real
world.
## Types of Augmented Reality
AR can be categorized into several types: marker-based AR, markerless AR,
projection-based AR, and superimposition-based AR. Each type offers unique

কম্পিউটার বিজ্ঞানে সর্টিং অ্যালগরিদমগুলি ডেটা সংগঠনের জন্য অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। এখানে আমরা তিনটি বেসিক সর্টিং অ্যালগরিদম নিয়ে আলোচনা করব: বুবল সর্ট, সিলেকশন সর্ট, এবং ইনসার্টশন সর্ট। প্রতিটি অ্যালগরিদমের নিজস্ব পদ্ধতি এবং কার্যকারিতা রয়েছে।
**১. বুবল সর্ট (Bubble Sort)**
**সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরণ:**
বুবল সর্ট একটি সহজ সর্টিং অ্যালগরিদম যা বারবার তালিকাটির মধ্য দিয়ে যায়, সংলগ্ন উপাদানগুলির তুলনা করে এবং প্রয়োজনে তাদের স্থান বিনিময় করে। এই প্রক্রিয়া চলতে থাকে যতক্ষণ না তালিকাটি সম্পূর্ণভাবে সর্ট হয়ে যায়।
**মূল পয়েন্ট:**
- **পদ্ধতি:** সংলগ্ন উপাদানগুলির তুলনা এবং প্রয়োজন অনুযায়ী স্থান বিনিময়।
- **দক্ষতা:** সেরা ক্ষেত্রে \(O(n)\), গড় এবং সবচেয়ে খারাপ ক্ষেত্রে \(O(n^2)\)।
- **স্থিতিশীলতা:** হ্যাঁ, এটি সমান উপাদানগুলির আপেক্ষিক ক্রম বজায় রাখে।
- **ব্যবহার:** ছোট ডেটাসেট বা শিক্ষামূলক উদ্দেশ্যে সর্বোত্তম।
**২. সিলেকশন সর্ট (Selection Sort)
**
**সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরণ:**
সিলেকশন সর্ট প্রতিটি পদক্ষেপে তালিকাটি দুটি অংশে বিভক্ত করে: সর্ট করা এবং অসম্পূর্ণ। এটি অসম্পূর্ণ অংশ থেকে সর্বনিম্ন (বা সর্বাধিক) উপাদানটি খুঁজে বের করে এবং সর্ট করা অংশে যোগ করে।
**মূল পয়েন্ট:**
- **পদ্ধতি:** সর্বনিম্ন উপাদান খুঁজে বের করা এবং তার স্থান বিনিময় করা।
- **দক্ষতা:** সেরা, গড় এবং সবচেয়ে খারাপ ক্ষেত্রে \(O(n^2)\)।
- **স্থিতিশীলতা:** না, এটি সমান উপাদানগুলির আপেক্ষিক ক্রম বজায় রাখে না।
- **ব্যবহার:** সাধারণভাবে শিক্ষামূলক উদ্দেশ্যে ব্যবহৃত হয়।
**৩. ইনসার্টশন সর্ট (Insertion Sort)**
**সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরণ:**
ইনসার্টশন সর্ট তালিকাটির প্রতিটি উপাদানকে তার সঠিক স্থানে স্থানান্তরিত করে এবং ক্রমান্বয়ে সর্ট করা তালিকা তৈরি করে। এটি প্রতিটি উপাদানকে আগের উপাদানগুলির সাথে তুলনা করে এবং সঠিক স্থানে প্রবেশ করায়।
**মূল পয়েন্ট:**
- **পদ্ধতি:** প্রতিটি উপাদানকে তার সঠিক স্থানে প্রবেশ করানো।
- **দক্ষতা:** সেরা ক্ষেত্রে \(O(n)\), গড় এবং সবচেয়ে খারাপ ক্ষেত্রে \(O(n^2)\)।
- **স্থিতিশীলতা:** হ্যাঁ, এটি সমান উপাদানগুলির আপেক্ষিক ক্রম বজায় রাখে।
- **ব্যবহার:** ছোট ডেটাসেট বা প্রায়-সর্ট করা তালিকার জন্য উপযুক্ত। | rihanthedev | |

When dropping the granade it correctly inherits drones velocity and angular momentum.

I also organized my Drone's Event graph into smaller graphs and do a Sequence calling each one.
Tomorrow I plan to make the explosions do damage to objects. For that I watched a 1h long [Chaos Destruction Series by BuildGamesWithJon](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPpgDoSBYYWgAsFdt3AsvyblUk04qkEob).

Financial success requires more than just... | 0 | 2024-06-26T22:34:38 | https://dev.to/devmercy/the-importance-of-financial-education-and-taking-action-1igg | productivity, career, learning, devchallenge | **Financial Education? Oh wait, what, Financial Success?**
Financial success requires more than just formal schooling; it demands practical knowledge about managing personal finances. Understanding core concepts like investing, building wealth through different income streams, and distinguishing between assets and liabilities are essential life skills. However, knowledge alone is not enough – one must complement classroom learning with real-world application.
A well-rounded financial education teaches valuable lessons. It emphasizes the importance of investing in oneself before enriching others through career opportunities. It highlights strategies for accumulating long-term assets that generate income, rather than short-term liabilities that deplete funds. It explains how to leverage corporate structures for tax benefits and liability protection. Early in life, it encourages focusing on skills development over high salaries to set oneself up for future prosperity.
Crucially, financial education underscores the need for action. It stresses overcoming fear to capitalize on opportunities. It underscores the power of starting investments promptly and steadily to benefit from compound returns over decades. It advises making money work through vehicles that produce ongoing, passive profits instead of exchanging time for wages.
**Lessons from "Rich Dad Poor Dad"**
I am a book lover. Reading helps me gain mental confidence and life management skills. Recently, I read a book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Here are some of the lessons I've learned from the book:
**1. The Importance of Financial Education:**
Formal education is important, but financial education is crucial. Understanding how money works, how to invest, and how to manage finances are essential skills for financial success.
**2. Mind Your Own Business:**
Focus on building your own assets and income streams rather than working solely to increase someone else's wealth. This means investing in real estate, stocks, or starting your own business.
**3. The Difference Between Assets and Liabilities:**
Assets put money in your pocket, while liabilities take money out. Understanding this distinction is key to building wealth. Focus on acquiring assets and minimizing liabilities.
**4. The Power of Corporations:**
Kiyosaki highlights the benefits of understanding how corporations work and using them to your advantage, such as for tax benefits and protecting your personal assets.
**5. Work to Learn, Not to Earn:**
Early in your career, prioritize learning over earning. Gain skills and experiences that will help you in the long run, such as sales, marketing, communication, and investing.
**6. The Rich Don’t Work for Money:**
The wealthy focus on creating systems and investments that generate passive income, rather than working for a paycheck. Building passive income streams is crucial for financial freedom.
**7. Overcoming Fear:**
Fear and doubt often prevent people from taking risks and seizing financial opportunities. Learning to manage and overcome fear is essential for making bold financial moves.
**8. The Power of Compound Interest:**
Investing early and consistently allows you to benefit from compound interest, which can significantly grow your wealth over time.
**9. Make Money Work for You:**
Instead of working hard for money, focus on making your money work for you through investments. Leverage your money to create more wealth.
**10. The Importance of Taking Action:**
Knowledge alone isn't enough; taking action is crucial. Apply what you learn about finance and investments to make real changes in your financial life.
In summary, gaining financial wisdom through study lays the groundwork for accomplishment. However, changing behaviors and implementing strategies learned are just as vital. Knowledge must translate into real-world application for lifelong prosperity. Financial education equips individuals with insights; taking action puts those insights into practice to build long-term assets and freedom.
