 "10배레버리지"라는 말을 들어보시고 그것이 무엇인지 궁금하신가요? 당신은 바로 이곳에 있습니다! 특히 금융계에서 인기 있는 이 용어는 "10배 레버리지"를 의미합니다. 본질적으로 이를 통해 거래자는 거래 포지션을 10배로 늘릴 수 있으며, 이는 잠재적 이익과 손실을 모두 크게 증폭시킬 수 있습니다. 이 가이드는 [10배레버리지에](https://tribpub.info/) 대해 자세히 설명하고 그 중요성, 이점, 위험 등을 이해하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 레버리지 이해 레버리지의 정의 금융에서의 레버리지란 차입 자본을 사용하여 잠재적인 투자 수익을 높이는 것을 의미합니다. 이는 거래자가 구매력을 강화하여 자신의 자본만으로 할 수 있는 것보다 더 큰 포지션을 거래할 수 있도록 하기 위해 사용하는 전략입니다. 레버리지 유형 레버리지에는 다음과 같은 여러 유형이 있습니다. 금융 레버리지(Financial Leverage) : 차입금을 활용하여 자산에 투자합니다. 운영 레버리지 : 회사 운영 내 고정 비용과 관련됩니다. 결합 레버리지 : 재무 레버리지와 운영 레버리지를 혼합하여 수익을 극대화합니다. 개념 10배레버리지 설명 "10배레버리지" '10배레버리지'는 구체적으로 10:1의 비율로 레버리지를 사용하는 것을 말합니다. 이는 귀하의 1달러당 10달러로 거래할 수 있음을 의미합니다. 귀하의 투자가 귀하에게 유리하게 진행되면 귀하의 수익은 10배로 확대됩니다. 반대로 시장이 당신에게 불리하게 움직이면 손실도 확대됩니다. 작동 방식 10배레버리지를 사용하면 기본적으로 브로커로부터 자금을 빌려 더 큰 포지션을 거래하게 됩니다. 예를 들어 $1,000가 있으면 최대 $10,000 상당의 자산을 거래할 수 있습니다. 이는 엄청나게 수익성이 높지만 상당한 위험도 따릅니다. 장점 10배레버리지 고수익 가능성 10배레버리지의 가장 큰 매력은 높은 수익률이다. 투자 규모가 커지므로 작은 시장 움직임이라도 상당한 수익을 얻을 수 있습니다. 자본의 효율적인 사용 레버리지를 통해 자본을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있습니다. 자신의 많은 돈을 묶는 대신 레버리지를 사용하여 더 적은 초기 투자로 더 큰 포지션을 취할 수 있습니다. 다각화 기회 더 많은 자본을 활용하면 다양한 자산에 투자를 다양화하여 단일 자산 클래스와 관련된 위험을 줄일 수 있습니다. 관련된 위험 10배레버리지 시장 변동성 레버리지는 양날의 검이 될 수 있습니다. 이익을 증폭시키는 동시에 손실도 증폭시킵니다. 시장 변동성은 시장이 귀하의 포지션과 반대로 움직일 경우 상당한 손실을 초래할 수 있습니다. 심각한 손실 위험 10배레버리지를 사용한다는 것은 작은 불리한 시장 움직임이라도 초기 투자액을 초과할 수 있는 상당한 손실을 초래할 수 있다는 것을 의미합니다. 마진콜 및 유동성 문제 레버리지 포지션의 가치가 떨어지면 브로커로부터 마진콜을 받을 수 있으며 포지션을 유지하기 위해 더 많은 자금을 예치해야 합니다. 그렇게 하지 않으면 귀하의 포지션이 손실을 입고 청산될 수 있습니다. 위험을 완화하는 방법 손절매 주문 설정 효과적인 위험 관리 전략 중 하나는 손실 제한 주문을 설정하는 것입니다. 이 주문은 미리 결정된 가격으로 자동으로 포지션을 청산하여 손실을 제한합니다. 투자 다각화 다양한 자산에 투자를 다각화하면 위험을 줄이는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 모든 계란을 한 바구니에 담지 않음으로써 단일 손실 포지션의 영향을 완화할 수 있습니다. 적절한 위험 관리 전략 사용 단일 거래에서 자본의 일정 비율 이상 위험을 감수하지 않는 등 적절한 위험 관리 전략을 구현하면 투자를 보호하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 실제 사례 성공 사례 10배레버리지 10배레버리지를 이용해 인상적인 수익을 달성한 트레이더들의 성공 사례는 많습니다. 예를 들어, 외환 시장의 일부 트레이더는 시장 움직임을 정확하게 예측하여 적당한 투자를 상당한 수익으로 전환했습니다. 주의사항 그러나 높은 레버리지로 인해 상당한 손실을 입은 거래자들에 대한 경고적인 이야기도 있습니다. 이러한 사례는 위험을 이해하고 책임감 있게 레버리지를 사용하는 것의 중요성을 강조합니다. 10배레버리지 다른 시장에서 주식 주식 시장에서 레버리지를 통해 거래자는 주식에서 더 큰 포지션을 취할 수 있으며 잠재적으로 더 높은 수익을 얻을 수 있습니다. 그러나 주가는 변동성이 커서 레버리지 거래를 위험하게 만들 수 있습니다. 외환 외환 시장은 특히 레버리지 거래에 인기가 높습니다. 통화쌍은 상당한 변동을 겪을 수 있어 레버리지 이익을 얻을 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다. 암호화폐 암호화폐는 높은 변동성으로 알려져 있어 레버리지 거래에 매력적입니다. 그러나 이는 위험이 더 높다는 의미이기도 합니다. 10배레버리지를 시작하는 방법 브로커 선택 레버리지 거래에는 신뢰할 수 있는 브로커를 선택하는 것이 중요합니다. 낮은 수수료, 강력한 거래 플랫폼, 강력한 규제 감독 기능을 갖춘 브로커를 찾으세요. 증거금 요건 이해하기 시작하기 전에 브로커가 설정한 마진 요구 사항을 이해하세요. 여기에는 레버리지 포지션을 유지하는 데 얼마나 많은 자본이 필요한지 아는 것이 포함됩니다. 취해야 할 초기 단계 브로커를 통해 마진 계좌를 개설하는 것부터 시작하세요. 실제 돈을 사용하기 전에 거래 플랫폼을 숙지하고 데모 계좌로 연습하십시오. 레버리지 거래를 위한 도구 및 리소스 거래 플랫폼 레버리지 거래를 위한 고급 도구와 기능을 제공하는 거래 플랫폼을 선택하세요. 인기 있는 플랫폼으로는 메타트레이더, eToro 및 Thinkorswim이 있습니다. 분석 도구 기술적 분석 차트, 지표, 시장 뉴스 등의 분석 도구를 활용하여 정보에 입각한 거래 결정을 내리세요. 교육 자료 브로커와 온라인 플랫폼에서 제공하는 교육 리소스를 활용하세요. 여기에는 레버리지 거래에 대한 튜토리얼, 웹 세미나, 강좌가 포함될 수 있습니다. 규정 및 법적 고려 사항 규제 기관 국가마다 레버리지 거래를 감독하는 규제 기관이 있습니다. 미국에서는 SEC와 CFTC가 있습니다. 영국에서는 FCA입니다. 법적 의미 귀하의 국가에서 레버리지 거래가 갖는 법적 의미를 이해하십시오. 여기에는 법적 문제를 피하기 위해 규정을 숙지하고 이를 준수하는 것이 포함됩니다. 전문가의 사용 팁 10배레버리지 노련한 트레이더의 통찰력 숙련된 트레이더는 소규모로 시작하여 자신감과 경험을 얻으면서 점차적으로 레버리지를 늘릴 것을 권장합니다. 또한 지속적인 학습과 시장 동향에 대한 최신 정보를 유지하는 것의 중요성을 강조합니다. 피해야 할 일반적인 실수 과도한 레버리지, 위험 관리 무시, 계획 없는 거래와 같은 일반적인 실수를 피하십시오. 이로 인해 상당한 손실이 발생할 수 있습니다. 레버리지 거래의 기술 혁신 AI와 머신러닝의 영향 AI와 기계 학습은 고급 분석 도구를 제공하고 거래 전략을 자동화하여 레버리지 거래를 혁신하여 보다 효율적이고 수익성 있는 거래로 이어집니다. 자동화 및 거래 봇 자동화 및 거래 봇은 사전 설정된 기준에 따라 거래를 실행하여 거래의 감정적인 측면을 줄여 레버리지 포지션을 관리하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 레버리지 거래의 미래 동향 새로운 트렌드 새로운 추세에는 블록체인 기술의 통합, AI 사용 증가, 레버리지 거래를 제공하는 탈중앙화 금융(DeFi) 플랫폼의 성장이 포함됩니다. 미래에 대한 예측 기술 발전과 글로벌 시장에 대한 접근성 증가로 인해 레버리지 거래의 미래는 유망해 보입니다. 레버리지 거래, 특히 10배레버리지는 거래자에게 수익을 증폭시킬 수 있는 흥미로운 기회를 제공합니다. 그러나 관련된 위험을 이해하고 적절한 위험 관리 전략을 사용하는 것이 중요합니다. 최신 정보를 얻고, 올바른 도구와 리소스를 선택하고, 숙련된 트레이더로부터 학습함으로써 레버리지 트레이딩의 세계를 성공적으로 탐색할 수 있습니다. 여기를 방문하세요: https://tribpub.info/

Here’s how to find a suitable API for your needs. Steps to Ensure You Choose the Best API for Your Needs: - **Locate a Suitable API**: The simplest way is to use the Search Bar. For our example, type 'Image Anonymization' and review the results. You can also look for a solution by browsing specific categories, experimenting with different keywords, etc. In this instance, the search results are displayed in the picture below.  Let’s take a closer look at [Image Anonymization API](https://rapidapi.com/api4ai-api4ai-default/api/image-anonymization/). **Analyze API Information**: Here are some essential tips to help you filter out solutions that may not meet your standards. **Assess API Latency**: Check the response time of the API, especially if you need real-time data processing. APIs with lower latency are ideal for applications where speed is crucial. **Evaluate Popularity**: The popularity of an API can indicate its reliability and performance. **Review API Provider Details**: Look into the API provider’s background. Positive signs include an external website, social network profiles, other APIs they offer, etc. In our example, we found a [webpage featuring a demo](https://api4.ai/apis/image-anonymization) dedicated to the Image Anonymization API along with other image processing solutions from [API4AI](https://api4.ai/apis). **Understand Documentation**: Good documentation is essential for effectively implementing and using an API. Look for clear, comprehensive documentation that includes: - **Endpoint Descriptions**: Information about what each endpoint does. - **Parameters and Expected Values**: Details on required parameters and their formats. - **Example Requests and Responses**: Practical examples demonstrating how to construct requests and what responses to expect. -** Error Codes and Troubleshooting**: Information on common issues and how to resolve them.

Here, you will find detailed information, including pricing.  **Review Pricing Plans**: Most APIs offer a range of pricing plans to accommodate different usage levels and budgets. These plans can vary from free tiers, suitable for testing and small projects, to premium plans that support higher request volumes and often include additional features. - **Free Tier**: Many APIs provide a no-cost option with limited requests, ideal for development and initial testing. - **Paid Plans**: Evaluate the different tiers and choose one that aligns with your expected usage and budget. Pay attention to details such as request limits, cost per additional request, and any extra features included with each tier. **Subscribe to the API**:Select the subscription option that meets your needs. You will be prompted to review and accept the terms of use. By carefully choosing the right API and understanding the subscription process on Rapid API Hub, you pave the way for seamless integration into your development projects, enabling you to effectively leverage external data and services. #Making Your First API Call Once you've subscribed to an API on Rapid API Hub, the next exciting step is making your initial API call. This is where you begin to see the practical impact of the API integrated into your project. Let’s go through how to securely use your API key and share some code snippets for making that first call. ## API Key Upon subscribing to an API on Rapid API Hub, you will receive an API key, which is crucial for accessing the API's features. This key is unique to your subscription and serves as both an identifier and a security token. Keeping this key secure is essential to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse. Steps to Access Your API Key: - Go to your Rapid API [dashboard](https://rapidapi.com/developer/dashboard). - Expand an application in the 'My Apps' section and click on the 'Authorization' tab. - You will find a list of authorization keys. Simply copy one, and you have your Image Anonymization API key.  #How to Securely Handle API Keys - **Keep it Confidential**: Never hard-code your API key directly into your application's source code, especially if your codebase is stored in publicly accessible version control systems. - **Environment Variables**: Store your API key in environment variables. This approach keeps the key out of your source code and adds an extra layer of security by isolating the key from your application logic. - **Secure Storage Solutions**: For web applications, consider using secrets management tools or services that help manage and access secrets securely. ## Basic API Call Code Snippet With your API key ready, you can start making requests to the API using the example requests provided in the documentation. This is where you integrate the API's functionality into your applications. To test the API's functionality, run the provided Python code snippet.

Additionally, knowing how to troubleshoot common issues will save you time and reduce frustration. Here’s a guide to ensuring a seamless experience with APIs. ## Best Practices - **Adhere to Rate Limits**: Each API on Rapid API Hub has its own rate limits, which specify the maximum number of requests allowed within a given time frame. Respect these limits to avoid service disruptions and potential extra charges. Implement backoff strategies and request retries to efficiently manage rate limit constraints. - **Robust Error Handling**: Create a comprehensive error handling strategy to manage API response failures or unexpected data. Always refer to the API documentation for error codes and handle each scenario appropriately—whether it's logging errors, retrying requests, or notifying users of issues. - **Secure API Keys**: Never expose your API keys in public code repositories or client-side code. Store them securely using environment variables, and restrict API key permissions wherever possible to minimize exposure to potential security risks. - **Use HTTPS**: Always use HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between your application and the APIs. This encryption helps protect against interception by malicious actors and ensures data integrity and confidentiality. - **Caching Responses**: To reduce the number of API calls and improve your application's responsiveness, implement caching strategies where appropriate. Cache data that does not update frequently, and ensure your cache invalidation logic matches the data's freshness requirements. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Authentication Errors**: These errors typically occur when the API key is incorrect, expired, or missing from the request. Verify that your API key is accurate and included in the request headers as specified by the API documentation. - **Rate Limit Exceeded**: If you encounter rate limit errors, consider optimizing the timing of your requests or reviewing your application’s API usage to determine if you need a higher tier of service. Implement retry mechanisms with exponential backoff to manage these errors effectively. - **Unexpected Data Formats**: Sometimes, the data returned from an API may not match your expectations. Validate the API response structure according to the API documentation and ensure your application can handle changes or variations in data formats. - **Connection Issues**: Check for network problems, verify endpoint URLs, and ensure no firewalls or security settings are blocking API requests.

[Recursion and Reduces](https://dev.to/if-els/functional-patterns-recursions-and-reduces-jhk) ## Functor Recap Learning about Functors have taught us the very important function that is `fmap`, or *mapping* a function on a `Functor` interface (most commonly on the *array*). > Remember, the `Functor` interface differs from the actual term *functor*. Members of the interface `Functor`, > to put simply, can be mapped over by *endofunctors* (which are a type of a function that maps a category to > itself). ```python # python map( lambda a: a**2, [1, 2, 3] ) # [1, 4, 9] ``` Mapping a function on an array is a pretty common operation, a transformation on your data, if you may. But what if we wanted to apply a *different* function to each element? In terms of using `map` (or `fmap`), we are out of luck, as the functor supported by `map` are applied to all of the elements. ## Zips Say we have an array of `int`, our points in a game show. We'll get this in array for every round of the game. ```py # points per round [4, 3, 8, 1] # r1 r2 r3 r4 ``` We'd like to get the total of our score. However, we are told that points are worth more in the later rounds! That is, every point is worth the round it was gained in. ```python [ 4 * 1, 3 * 2, 8 * 3, 1 * 4 ] ``` Let's try to get these values programatically. Let's first take an imperative approach, by using the index of our current value + 1 to multiply at our current number. We'll do this in Go, for a clearer demonstration: ```go rounds := []int{ ... } result := 0 for (i := 0; i < len(rounds); i++) { result += rounds[i] * (i+1) } return result ``` then in Python: ```py rounds = [ ... ] result = 0 for round, score in enumerate(rounds): result += score * (round + 1) return result ``` We achieve pretty similar code, except for how we're now using a function named `enumerate`. Now what exactly does `enumerate` do? ```py enumerate(["a", "b", "c", "d"]) # [ (0, "a"), (1, "b"), (2, "c"), (3, "d") ] ``` Ah, the `enumerate` function "maps" some function to our original array, turning it into an array of *pairs* containing the index and the original value. But this can't be any ordinary functor, since there can't be any function that can achieve this changing value without side-effects! Let's try to work backwards, and separate the pairs into their own arrays. ```python a = [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ] b = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] ``` It shouldn't be that hard to get back to our paired array. ```python a = [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ] b = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] result = [] for i in range(len(b)): c.append( (a[i], b[i]) ) return c ``` We can simplify this further by realizing our `a` array is actually just `range(len(b))`. ```python a = range(len(b)) b = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] result = [] for i in a: result.append( (i, b[i]) ): return result # also can be written as # [ (i, b[i]) for i in a ] ``` Now we've implemented a function that takes two arrays `a` and `b`, and pairs them up into a resulting array! This is called the `zip` function. And the `enumerate` function is just a specialization of this, a `zip` with the first argument as the `range(len(b))` of the second argument. > This is a simplified implementation for Python, as `zip` and `enumerate` actually return *generators*, and > mostly likely don't need to use `range` as a dependency. ```python b = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] [*zip(range(len(b))], b) == [*enumerate(b)] # [ (0, "a"), (1, "b"), (2, "c"), (3, "d") ] ``` Also, we've unlocked a whole new world for our `map` function, since now we can do differing *partial* applications for every element! ```hs -- haskell zip [3 .. 5] [9 .. 11] == [ (3, 9), (4, 10), (5, 11) ] -- moreover, since functions are values... zip [1 .. 3] [(*4), (+5), negate] == [ (1, (*4)), (2, (+5)), (3, negate)] ``` And since now we're in the array *category* once again, we can simply `map` or `reduce` over these pairs to perform our transformation! ```hs points = [4, 3, 8, 1] -- we pattern match on the tuple to multiply both elements sum . map (\(a,b) -> a * b) . zip [1..] $ points -- alternatively we can use the `uncurry` function, which does that sum . map (uncurry (*)) . zip [1..] $ points -- uncurry and mapping a zip is such a common pattern that it can be written as `zipWith` sum . zipWith (*) [1..] $ points -- point-free definition totalScore = sum . zipWith (*) [1..] ```  ## Applicatives A much more specific interface that is relevant to us is the `Applicative` typeclass. ```hs class (Functor f) => Applicative f where pure :: a -> f a (<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b -- ... ``` What this means is that: - in order to be `Applicative`, you first must be an instance of `Functor`. - You have to define a function `pure`, which takes any type and then wraps it with your type constructor `f` (again, this is synonymous to a struct) - You have to define a function `<*>`, which applies a wrapped function `f (a -> b)` to your wrapped value `f a` resulting in a wrapped result `f b`. > The following are additional axioms that need to be fulfilled ontop of being a valid member of the `Functor` typeclass. You don't have to fully understand these right now, but I figured I shouldn't omit them. ```hs pure id <*> v = v -- Identity pure f <*> pure x = pure (f x) -- Homomorphism u <*> pure y = pure ($ y) <*> u -- Interchange pure (.) <*> u <*> v <*> w = u <*> (v <*> w) -- Composition ``` - The **identity** axiom states that applying a wrapped `id` (identity function) does nothing, working like the unwrapped id function. - The **homorphism** axiom states that applying a wrapped function to a wrapped value is equal to applying the function to the value *and then* wrapping it. - The **interchange** axiom states that applying u to a wrapped value is equal to applying a wrapped *partial application of `$` (thrush)* of the original value to the function. - `($ a) f` is the same as `f $ a` or `f a`. - The **composition** axiom states that applying a wrapped `(.)` (composition function, b-combinator) is equal to composing the applied function to the following applications. If we look at the signatures of the two main functions here `fmap` and `<*>`: ```hs fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b (<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b ``` We see that the only difference between these two is that `Applicative` has your functor wrapped in the same category (or data type) as your inputs! ## The Maybe Monad A ubiquitous *Monad* (which requires it be an `Applicative`) is the `Maybe` monad. We won't be talking about its `Monad` aspects here but what it does, to put simply, is act as context for functions with optional returns. ```hs data Maybe m = Just m | Nothing ``` What this says is: `Maybe` is a data type (can be thought of as a struct) that holds type `m` and can either be a `Just m` or `Nothing`. An example of a function using this data type is: ```hs findIndex :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Maybe Int findIndex even [1, 3, 4, 5] == Just 2 findIndex even [1, 3, 5] == Nothing ``` What `findIndex` does is find the first index wherein a predicate returns `True`. Now of course, this has a case wherein the predicate never returns `True`, and what would we return in that case? This is where the `Maybe` monad comes in, by wrapping our result in the `Maybe` type, we can return a `Nothing` in this case, and when we do find a `True` case, we just have to wrap our return with `Just`. > And if we're certain that we will always return a `Just`, we can just unwrap it using the `fromJust` function. Since `Maybe` is under the `Monad` interface, and therefore an `Applicative` and `Functor`, we can do the things we were able to do on `Applicative` and `Functor` on it. ```hs -- Being a functor: fmap (* 2) (Just 4) == Just 8 -- we can map on it because its a functor, removing the need to unwrap fmap (* 2) Nothing == Nothing -- which allows us to safely do operations on it. ``` But what if we needed to perform operations on multiple instances of a `Maybe`? We would have to unwrap them both, and then apply the function, right? However, this poses as risk— as unwrapping a `Nothing` will cause a runtime error, and writing all of that is just, horrible. ```hs import Data.Maybe Just (fromJust (Just 4)) + (fromJust (Just 5)) -- Just 9 Just (fromJust Nothing + (fromJust (Just 5)) -- ERROR! ``` `Applicative` allows us to *compose* functions without unwrapping our data types using the `<*>` function! Recall that all it does is apply a wrapped function, so we simply need to get to that point first. This is made more terse by the *infix* version of our lovely `fmap` function, written as `<$>`. ```hs -- `pure` typed in the context of `Maybe Int` wraps our value in Just. (pure 5) :: Maybe Int == Just 5 -- Applying a wrapped function Just negate <*> Just 5 == Just (-5) Just (+5) <*> Just 2 == Just 7 -- Applying Nothing on either side resolves to Nothing Nothing <*> Just 5 == Nothing Just (+5) <*> Nothing == Nothing fmap (+2) (Just 3) == Just 5 (+2) <$> Just 3 == Just 5 -- infix (+) <$> Just 5 == Just (+5) -- we get a wrapped *partially applied* function! -- Therefore .. (+) <$> Just 4 <*> Just 5 == Just 9 -- Composition! (+) <$> Just 4 <*> Nothing == Nothing -- Composition! ``` The `Maybe` is analogous to Rust's `Option` type (although they do not have a way of simply composing these types), in that it can be used to avoid using *sentinel* or `null` values in your code altogether! This can even be further extended to handle errors in your code as a `Nothing` always propagates throughout the composition. ## The ZipList Applicative From reading the documentation, we actually find out that `[]` is also a data type of the `Monad` interface, again making it an `Applicative` and a `Functor`. We won't be demonstrating it's `Functor` properties as we've already covered that in a previous part of the series. ```hs -- `pure` in the context of `[Int]` creates a singleton list (pure 5) :: [Int] == [5] -- Applying a list of functions to a singleton list returns a list of the applications! [negate] <*> [5] == [-5] [(*3), abs, (+2)] <*> [5] == [15, 5, 7] -- Applying to our empty list always returns an empty list [] <*> [3, 4] == [] [(*3), abs, (+2)] <*> [] == [] -- Applying a list of functions to a list of elements, performs a cartesian product [(+2), (*3)] <*> [5, 2, 1] == [7, 15, 4, 6, 3, 3] ``` What's interesting with the list of functions applied to a list of values is that: it performs the function on *all combinations* of the functions and elements. Moreover, they are kept in a *flattened* list. This would be equivalent to: ```python result = [] for x in values: for f in functions: result.append(f(x)) # or [ f(x) for x in values for f in functions ] ``` All within a single line. We can actually implement the `zip` behavior of lists using an `Applicative` interface! Let us define a `ZipList` data type. ```hs -- we define our struct that holds an array of `a` data ZipList a = ZipList { getZipList :: [a] } -- we define its membership to the Functor typeclass instance Functor Ziplist where -- we say that mapping on a ZipList is just mapping over its embedded array fmap f (Ziplist a) = Ziplist (map f a) instance Applicative ZipList where -- we say that applying a list of wrapped functions is just zipping over wrapped values ZipList fs <*> ZipList xs = ZipList (zipWith ($) fs xs) ``` However, we lack one definition here: `pure`. I've intentionally skipped this because this is a good demonstration to show where the *axioms* come into play. Say we define the following: ```hs pure x = ZipList [x] -- mirroring the definition for `pure` of [], we put x in a singleton list ``` Recall that according to the **identity** axiom: ```hs pure id <*> v == v ``` This definition falls apart when we substitute `v` as the infinite list `[1..]` ```hs pure id <*> v == v ZipList [id] <*> [1..] == ZipList [1..] ZipList (zipWith ($) id [1..]) == ZipList [1..] -- zipWith truncates based on the shorter list Ziplist [1] != ZipList [1..] -- false! ``` The problem with `zip` is that it truncates based on the shorter list, meaning for an application to be valid, the list `fs` must be infinite! So the definition of `pure` follows from that. ```hs instance Applicative ZipList where -- we say that applying a list of wrapped functions is just zipping over wrapped values ZipList fs <*> ZipList xs = ZipList (zipWith ($) fs xs) -- We say that the `pure` of some element x, is the infinite list of itself pure x = ZipList (repeat x) ``` And if you think about it— applying an infinite list of `id` to a finite list of `x`, will always return you the original list! Cool! --- It goes without saying; there are so many more *applications* for the `Applicative` pattern out there, I hope you find them and recognize them! And that concludes the penultimate part of this series! I hope you're enjoying and are able to keep up, if not, feel free to contact me for clarifications. I hope you learned something new, and see you in the last part `The Monad`! --- Reference: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Applicative_functors

Here are a few tips that can help you:</span></span></p> <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:16pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#434343;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.999999999999998pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">1. Compare the portfolios of different companies&nbsp;</span></span></h3> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Choosing a software development company is different from buying groceries. You don’t have to settle on the first option you meet. Instead, it would be best to compare the portfolio of various software development companies before settling on one.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Especially look for apps similar to your domain. Test them to see how you would perceive them as an end user. You can also consider Google Play ratings or user testimonials to determine where these apps stand.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">However, relying on these reviews entirely is not wise as they may be genuine. Hence, you must also look for platforms like Clutch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. These portals are great as clients post these reviews. You can verify them on calls and messages.</span></span></p> <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:16pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#434343;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.999999999999998pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">2. Choose a company with a limited focus on the tech stack&nbsp;</span></span></h3> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The fewer, the better is the best approach to choosing the right software development company. To build a high-quality product, you need experts, and a company can’t be a real expert if it has its focus everywhere.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Also, developing a project takes 4-6 months and sometimes years, and technologies evolve fast. It’s doubtful that a company would simultaneously be an expert in 10-12 technologies.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You must be careful if you see a software company with dozens of technology logos on its website. No one can be an expert in 10 programming languages. Choose someone with a focus on one technology like React. This way, you would get someone with proven expertise on your project.</span></span></p> <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:16pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#434343;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.999999999999998pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">3. Pay attention to the work process and communication routine of companies</span></span></h3> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A well-defined process and brilliant tools are the keys to building great products. A company does a much better job at product development when they follow a clear roadmap defining each course of action. Hence, you must closely observe how they bring a product to life.</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Also, pay attention to if they can convey their expectations of you and your expectations of them. Your job becomes much easier if your communication skills are top-notch.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">When it comes to tools, make sure the company you choose uses at least some of the following software for communication:</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;"> <li style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Slack or Microsoft Teams for online chats.</span></span></li> <li style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Google Meet, Skype, or Zoom for video calls and daily meetings.</span></span></li> <li style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Asana, Trello, or Jira for project management.</span></span></li> <li style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Google Drive, Dropbox, and Notion for saving and sharing files.</span></span></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:16pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#434343;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.999999999999998pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">4.

On the other hand, a large company will need to give you more attention. Hence, choose a company similar to yours in size and status. For such companies, you would be a significant customer (VIC), which is what you would want.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Moreover, your values should align with the software development company you choose.

It’s also about building a product that helps your business thrive. Unless the software development company understands your vision and the industry you work in, it will fail to create a successful digital product. Hence, your core focus should be choosing a development partner who understands your business and can guide you on the right path.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e101a;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Pay attention to how your chosen company works to ensure your chosen company understands your industry.

Managing users and groups is a fundamental aspect of system administration. Whether you're overseeing a small personal server or a large enterprise network, having a streamlined process for user creation is essential for maintaining security, organization, and efficiency. One of the most powerful tools for automating this task is Bash scripting. This article walks you through solving user management issues with a Bash script. The script will cover creating accounts, assigning them to personal and general groups, and managing and securing their passwords. This project is available on GitHub. Check out the [repository for the complete script](https://github.com/Iheanacho-ai/User-creation-script). ## The problem statement You are presented with a problem. Your company has hired many new developers, and you need to automate the creation of user accounts and passwords for each of them. As a SysOps engineer, write a Bash script that reads a text file containing the employees’ usernames and group names, where each line is formatted as `username;groups`. The text file can also specify multiple groups for the user, formatted as `username; group1, group2`. In addition to the multiple groups specified by the text file, each user must have a personal group named after their username. The script should create users and groups as specified, set up home directories with appropriate permissions and ownership, and generate random user passwords. Additionally, store the generated passwords securely in `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv`, and log all actions to `/var/log/user_management.log`. How do you automate this workflow with Bash scripting? ## Setting up the project Before diving head first into creating the script itself, let's define what it needs to automate. The script must: 1. **Read User and Group Information:** The script will rely on a text file containing user and group information 2. **Create User and Group:** For each user specified in the file, the script will create a user account and a personal group 3. **Assign Additional Groups:** If additional groups are listed for a user (e.g., `user;group1,group2`), the script will also assign the user to those groups 4. **Create Home Directories:** Each user will have a dedicated home directory created. 5. **Generate Random Passwords:** Secure random passwords will be generated for each user and stored in `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv` 6. **Log Actions:** The script will log all its activities to `/var/log/user_management.log` **Creating the user and group text file** The Bash script relies on a text file to define the users and groups it needs to create. To create this text file, navigate to your project’s root directory and create a file named `text_file.txt`. This file should contain lines formatted as follows: ``` villanelle; sudo, dev eve; dev, www-data ``` You can replace the usernames and groups with any names you’d like. Now that you have the text file prepared let's create the Bash script that interacts with it. **Creating the Bash script** Within your project's root directory, create a new file named `create_user.sh`. This script will handle user creation, group assignment, activity logging, and more. This script will be made up of different parts, and these are: 1.**Ensuring root privileges** The script requires elevated privileges to perform actions like creating users, groups, and modifying permissions. So, you will begin by checking if the user running the script has root access. In your `create_user.sh` file, add the following commands to check if the user is root: ```bash #!/bin/bash # Check if the current user is a superuser, exit if the user is not if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then echo "Please run as root" exit 1 fi ``` This code ensures only users with root access can execute the script. If you're not logged in as root, running the script will display an error message and exit. 2.**Check if the text file was passed in as an argument** Next, you need to ensure the script receives the text file (`text_file.txt`) as an argument. To perform this check, add the following lines of code to your `create_user.sh` file: ```bash # Check if the file was passed into the script if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Please pass the file parameter" exit 1 fi ``` In the code block above, these commands: - `[ -z "$1" ]`: This checks if the first argument ($1) is empty. - `echo "Please pass the file parameter"`: This message informs the user if the script is missing the required file. - `exit 1`: Exits the script with an error code if the check fails. By including this code, you guarantee the script receives the necessary text file to function correctly. 3.**Create environment variables for the file** Next, you will create environment variables to hold the paths for the input text file (`text_file.txt`), the log file (`/var/log/user_management.log`), and the password file (`/var/secure/user_passwords.csv`). To create these variables, add the following lines of code to your `create_user.sh` file: ```bash # Define the file paths for the log file, and the password file INPUT_FILE="$1" LOG_FILE="/var/log/user_management.log" PASSWORD_FILE="/var/secure/user_passwords.csv" ``` 4.**Create the log and password files** Next, create the log and password files and give them the necessary permissions with this command: ```bash # Generate logfiles and password files and grant the user the permissions to edit the password file touch $LOG_FILE mkdir -p /var/secure chmod 700 /var/secure touch $PASSWORD_FILE chmod 600 $PASSWORD_FILE ``` The commands in the code block above are: - `touch $LOG_FILE`: Creates a `/var/log/user_management.log` file - `mkdir -p /var/secure`: Creates a `/var/secure` directory that will hold the password file - `chmod 700 /var/secure`: Sets the permissions so that only the user has read, write, and execute permissions for the `/var/secure` directory - `touch $PASSWORD_FILE`: Creates a `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv` file - `chmod 600 $PASSWORD_FILE`: Sets the permissions so that only the user has read and write permissions for the `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv` file 5.**Generate the passwords** Next, create the `log_message()` and `generate_password()` functions. These functions will handle creating log messages for each action and generating user passwords: ```bash # Generate logs and passwords log_message() { echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - $1" >> $LOG_FILE } generate_password() { openssl rand -base64 12 } ``` Here's what each function does: - `log_message()`: This function appends a log message with the current date and time (formatted as `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S`) to the `$LOG_FILE`. It takes a positional parameter `$1 representing` the message to be logged. - `generate_password()`: This function uses OpenSSL to generate a random password each time it is called, which is then printed to standard output. To learn more about the OpenSSL library, refer to the [official OpenSSL documentation](https://www.openssl.org/docs/) 6.**Creating the users and groups** You have verified that the user is running this script as a superuser. Additionally, you have created variables that hold different file paths pointing to the log, password, and input files. Next, the script should loop through each entry in the input text file, split these entries by usernames and groups, and then create the users and their respective groups. To achieve this, include the following commands in your `create_user.sh` file: ```bash # Read the input file line by line and save them into variables while IFS=';' read -r username groups || [ -n "$username" ]; do username=$(echo "$username" | xargs) groups=$(echo "$groups" | xargs) # Check if the personal group exists, create one if it doesn't if ! getent group "$username" &>/dev/null; then echo "Group $username does not exist, adding it now" groupadd "$username" log_message "Created personal group $username" fi # Check if the user exists if id -u "$username" &>/dev/null; then echo "User $username exists" log_message "User $username already exists" else # Create a new user with the created group if the user does not exist useradd -m -g $username -s /bin/bash "$username" log_message "Created a new user $username" fi # Check if the groups were specified if [ -n "$groups" ]; then # Read through the groups saved in the groups variable created earlier and split each group by ',' IFS=',' read -r -a group_array <<< "$groups" # Loop through the groups for group in "${group_array[@]}"; do # Remove the trailing and leading whitespaces and save each group to the group variable group=$(echo "$group" | xargs) # Remove leading/trailing whitespace # Check if the group already exists if ! getent group "$group" &>/dev/null; then # If the group does not exist, create a new group groupadd "$group" log_message "Created group $group." fi # Add the user to each group usermod -aG "$group" "$username" log_message "Added user $username to group $group." done fi # Create and set a user password password=$(generate_password) echo "$username:$password" | chpasswd # Save user and password to a file echo "$username,$password" >> $PASSWORD_FILE done < "$INPUT_FILE" log_message "User created successfully" echo "Users have been created and added to their groups successfully" ``` Let’s break down the code snippet to understand what each part does: - **Read the Input File Line by Line:** ```bash while IFS=';' read -r username groups || [ -n "$username" ]; do # Code to create the user groups done < “$INPUT_FILE” ``` **Explanation:** - `while …; do … done`: This loop iterates over each line in the input field and executes the commands within the `do` block for each of the line - `IFS=';'`: Sets the [Internal Field Separator (IFS)](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/184863/what-is-the-meaning-of-ifs-n-in-bash-scripting) to a semicolon (;). This tells the read command to split each line in the input file based on semicolons. - `read -r username groups`: Reads each line of the input file and splits it into two variables: `username` and `groups`. You will need these variables for creating usernames and groups - `|| [ -n "$username" ]`: This ensures that the loop continues processing the last line even if it doesn't end with a newline character. - **Trimming Whitespace:** ```bash username=$(echo "$username" | xargs) groups=$(echo "$groups" | xargs) ``` **Explanation:** - This step removes any leading or trailing spaces from the `username` and `groups` variables. Extra spaces can cause issues with user and group creation. - `xargs`: This command removes any whitespace at the beginning or end of the variable values. - **Checking and Creating the Personal Group:** ```bash if ! getent group "$username" &>/dev/null; then echo "Group $username does not exist, adding it now" groupadd "$username" log_message "Created personal group $username" fi ``` **Explanation:** - `getent group "$username" &>/dev/null`: This checks if a group with the username exists. If it doesn't, the `groupadd` command creates the group, and a log message is recorded. - **Checking and Creating the User:** ```bash if id -u "$username" &>/dev/null; then echo "User $username exists" log_message "User $username already exists" else useradd -m -g $username -s /bin/bash "$username" log_message "Created a new user $username" fi ``` **Explanation:** - `id -u "$username" &>/dev/null`: This checks if a user with the specified username exists. If the user does not exist, the useradd function is used to create one, and a log message is recorded. - `useradd -m -g "$username" -s /bin/bash "$username"`: This command creates a new user with the specified name (`$username`), a home directory (`-m`), the user's name as the primary group (`-g $username`), and the Bash shell as the default login shell (`-s /bin/bash`). For more details, check out [how to create users in Linux using the `useradd` command](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-users-in-linux-using-the-useradd-command/). - **Checking and Assigning Groups:** ```bash # Check if the groups were specified if [ -n "$groups" ]; then # Read through the groups saved in the groups variable created earlier and split each group by ',' IFS=',' read -r -a group_array <<< "$groups" # Loop through the groups for group in "${group_array[@]}"; do # Remove the trailing and leading whitespaces and save each group to the group variable group=$(echo "$group" | xargs) # Remove leading/trailing whitespace # Check if the group already exists if ! getent group "$group" &>/dev/null; then # If the group does not exist, create a new group groupadd "$group" log_message "Created group $group." fi # Add the user to each group usermod -aG "$group" "$username" log_message "Added user $username to group $group." done fi ``` **Explanation:** - `[ -n "$groups" ]`: This checks if the `$groups` variable is not empty - `IFS=',' read -r -a group_array <<< "$groups"`: This splits the `$groups` variable by commas, storing each group name as a separate element in an array named `group_array`. - `for` loop: This iterates through each group name in the `group_array` and runs the following commands: - `group=$(echo "$group" | xargs)`: This removes any leading or trailing spaces from the current group name in the loop. - `if ! getent group "$group" &>/dev/null`: This checks if a group exists. If the group does not exist, the `groupadd` function creates the group, and a log message is recorded. - `usermod -aG "$group" "$username"`: This command adds the user (`$username`) to the current group (`$group`) - **Generating and Setting a User Password:** ```bash password=$(generate_password) echo "$username:$password" | chpasswd echo "$username,$password" >> $PASSWORD_FILE ``` **Explanation:** - `password=$(generate_password)`: Calls the `generate_password()` function created earlier and stores its output in a `password` variable - `echo "$username:$password" | chpasswd`: Sets the user's password using the `password` variable - `echo "$username,$password" >> $PASSWORD_FILE`: Saves the username and password to the password file at the path `var/secure/user_passwords.csv` - **Feeding the Input File into the While Loop**: ```bash done < "$INPUT_FILE" ``` **Explanation:** - `done < "$INPUT_FILE"`: This redirection operator, `<`, tells the while loop to read its input from the file specified by `$INPUT_FILE` When you are done with this section, your `create_user.sh` file should look like this: https://gist.github.com/Iheanacho-ai/a572c299428c68e309b549d8d4d4cb4e With this, you have successfully created a script that effectively manages users and groups in your system. ## Testing this script Once you've written your script, it's time to verify that it works as intended. Here's how to test it: 1. **Running the Script in a Linux Environment** You'll need a terminal that supports Linux commands to run the script. Some options include: - [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://ubuntu.com/desktop/wsl) - [Git Bash](https://git-scm.com/downloads) - [A Linux virtual machine](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/virtualization/what-is-a-virtual-machine#:~:text=Linux%20containers%20and%20virtual%20machines,the%20rest%20of%20the%20system.) 2.**Making the Script Executable** Before running the script, you need to grant it execute permission with this command: ``` chmod +x create_user.sh ``` 3.**Running the Script** Next, execute the script with this command: ``` ./create_user.sh ./text_file.txt ``` If your script is running as it should, you should see this in your terminal:  Next, check your `/var/log/user_management.log` file to see your logs by running this command: cat /var/log/user_management.log  Finally, check your `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv` file with this command to see the users and their passwords: cat /var/secure/user_passwords.csv  ## In summary Throughout this article, you have walked through using Bash to manage users, groups, and their passwords. You have also logged all the actions into a file so that you and anybody else can look back on them and troubleshoot. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Bash's capabilities. With Bash, you can automate a wide variety of administrative tasks, streamline your workflows, and enhance the efficiency of your system management. Whether it's scheduling regular maintenance tasks with cron jobs, managing system updates, or monitoring system performance, Bash provides a powerful toolset for system administrators.

Linux User Creation Bash Script

As your company scales and brings in new developers, managing user accounts manually can become...

https://dev.to/suesue/user-management-bash-script-3o52

aws, linux, bash

As your company scales and brings in new developers, managing user accounts manually can become cumbersome and error-prone. Automating this process with a Bash script can save time and ensure consistency across the board. In this article, I'll walk you through creating a Bash script called create_users.sh that reads a text file containing usernames and group names, creates the necessary users and groups, sets up home directories, generates random passwords, and logs all actions. Let's dive in! Requirements Input File: A text file where each line is formatted as user;groups. Usernames and groups are separated by a semicolon ;, and multiple groups are delimited by a comma ,. User Creation: Each user must have a personal group with the same name as the username, though this group name will not be written in the text file. Logging: Log all actions to /var/log/user_management.log. Password Storage: Store generated passwords securely in /var/secure/user_passwords.csv. Error Handling: Handle scenarios like existing users gracefully. Example Input File ``` light; sudo,dev,www-data idimma; sudo mayowa; dev,www-data ``` The Script Here is the complete create_users.sh script: ```#!/bin/bash # Log file location LOGFILE="/var/log/user_management.log" PASSWORD_FILE="/var/secure/user_passwords.csv" # Check if the input file is provided if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Error: No file was provided" echo "Usage: $0 <name-of-text-file>" exit 1 fi # Create log and password files mkdir -p /var/secure touch $LOGFILE $PASSWORD_FILE chmod 600 $PASSWORD_FILE generate_random_password() { local length=${1:-12} # Default length is 12 if no argument is provided LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!?%+=' < /dev/urandom | head -c $length } # Function to create a user create_user() { local username=$1 local groups=$2 if getent passwd "$username" > /dev/null; then echo "User $username already exists" | tee -a $LOGFILE else useradd -m $username echo "Created user $username" | tee -a $LOGFILE fi # Add user to specified groups groups_array=($(echo $groups | tr "," "\n")) for group in "${groups_array[@]}"; do if ! getent group "$group" >/dev/null; then groupadd "$group" echo "Created group $group" | tee -a $LOGFILE fi usermod -aG "$group" "$username" done # Generate and set a random password for the user password=$(generate_random_password 12) echo "$username:$password" | chpasswd echo "$username,$password" >> $PASSWORD_FILE echo "Password for $username set" | tee -a $LOGFILE # Set permissions for the user's home directory chown "$username":"$username" "/home/$username" chmod 700 "/home/$username" } # Process each line in the input file while IFS=';' read -r user groups; do user=$(echo "$user" | xargs) # Trim whitespace groups=$(echo "$groups" | xargs) # Trim whitespace create_user "$user" "$groups" done < "$1" echo "User creation process completed successfully." | tee -a $LOGFILE ``` Log and Password File Locations: **LOGFILE=`"/var/log/user_management.log"`**: Logs all actions. **PASSWORD_FILE="/var/secure/user_passwords.csv"**: Stores generated passwords securely. Input File Check: The script checks if an input file is provided and exits with an error message if not. Directory and File Setup: Necessary directories and files are created with appropriate permissions. Random Password Generation: The `**generate_random_password**` function creates a random password of a specified length (default is 12 characters). User Creation Function: The `**create_user**` function creates a user, assigns the user to specified groups, generates a random password, sets the password, and logs all actions. Processing the Input File: The script reads each line from the input file, extracts the username and groups, and calls the `**create_user**` function. Running the Script To run the script, use the following command: ``` nano create_users.sh ``` ``` chmod +x create_users.sh ``` Logging and Password Storage Log File: All actions are logged to /var/log/user_management.log. Password File: Generated passwords are stored securely in /var/secure/user_passwords.csv with restricted access. Error Handling The script includes error handling to manage scenarios like existing users and missing input files gracefully. It provides clear documentation and comments within the code to ensure maintainability and readability. At the end, the script logs a message indicating successful user creation and prompts users to review the LOG_FILE for detailed information on the operations performed.  Conclusion By automating user management with this Bash script, you can streamline the onboarding process for new developers and maintain consistency in user account setups.

https://dev.to/cloudmytribe/comprehensive-guide-to-creating-securing-and-managing-your-aws-account-using-the-console-and-aws-cli-185p

Creating an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account and configuring it properly is crucial for leveraging the power of cloud computing while ensuring security and cost-efficiency. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create an AWS account, set up an IAM (Identity and Access Management) user, and follow best practices to maintain a secure and well-managed environment. Whether you're new to AWS or looking to refine your account setup, this comprehensive guide will help you navigate the process effectively. Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AWS Account Step 1: Sign Up for an AWS Account 1. Visit the AWS Page: Go to https://aws.amazon.com/ and click "Create an AWS Account".  2. Enter Account Details: Provide your root user email address and choose an AWS account name.  3. Verify your email   4.Contact Information: Enter your contact information including your address and phone number.  5. Payment Information: Enter your credit card details. AWS offers a free tier for new users, but you need to provide payment details for any usage beyond the free tier.  6. Identity Verification: AWS will send a verification code to your phone number.   7. Select Support Plan: Choose a support plan. AWS offers four support plans, including Basic (free), Developer, Business, and Enterprise. For this article, we will be choosing the “Basic support - Free” plan.  8. Complete the Registration: Once you’ve filled in all the required information, click "Create Account and Continue". Your AWS account will be created.  Step 2: Configure Root Account Security 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console using the root account. 2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): - Through search bar, search for IAM and Go to the IAM dashboard.  - Select “Add MFA on your root account” and follow the instructions to configure MFA.  - For this tutorial, we’ll choose “Virtual MFA device” from the list of options, and select “Continue.” However, you can choose another option if it suits you better. Make sure to keep the generated QR code up for the following three steps.  3. Set Up Billing Alerts: - Go to the Billing and Cost Management Dashboard. - Set up billing alerts to monitor your AWS usage and costs.  ## Creating an IAM User and Accessing AWS CLI via AWS Management Console The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts..Some of the benefits of using the AWS CLI include: Easily automate tasks and workflows using scripts. Access all AWS services and features from a single command line interface. Perform tasks faster as compared to using the AWS Management console. Execute commands from any environment with AWS CLI installed, including local machines and servers. Manage configurations and changes using version controlled scripts. Developers gain a deeper understanding of cloud computing principles and AWS architecture. This document provides step-by-step instructions to set up and access AWS CLI using the AWS Management Console Step 1 : Create an IAM user with appropriate permissions to use the AWS CLI In the AWS Management Console, go to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) service.  2. In the navigation pane, click Users and then Add user. 3. Enter a User name and check the box to give the user access to the AWS Management Console 4. Select I want to create an IAM User  5. On the console password, choose between an automatically generated password or a custom one, then proceed by clicking Next. 6. Setting permissions for the user. Add User to a Group It is a best practice to first add a user to a group and then attach policies to the group. This approach simplifies the process of managing permissions. Changes made to the permissions are applied across all members of the group which reduces the risk of errors and inconsistencies in access control.  Click on Create group or add the user to an existing group with appropriate permissions. Enter a group name and proceed to click on create policy. Following the principle of least privilege, we will grant our users only the permissions necessary for their tasks.  Click on JSON and write the policy needed. The policy below allows the user to describe various ec2 resources such as ec2 instances and also allows the user to retrieve details about their own IAM identity, such as the account ID, IAM user ID, and the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the caller. Click Next  -Enter a name for the policy, then click Create policy. -Use the search bar to find the policy by name. Click on the policy we created, then click Create user group. This will create the group and attach the policy to it.  -Click on Next , then Create User. Step 3: Creating access keys for the User -Click on Users on the left panel then click on Create access key  -Click on Command Line Interface then choose Next  After clicking on Create access key, you have the option to download the credentials as a .csv file. Remember to follow best practices for managing access keys: -Never store your access keys in plain text, in a code repository or in code. -Disable or delete the access keys when they are no longer needed. -Enable least privilege permissions. -Rotate access keys regularly. Step 4: Install the AWS CLI On Windows (Git bash used): Click on the link below to download the installer: https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi Click on the downloaded file to start the installation then click Next  3.Agree to the terms by ticking the box then click Next  4.Choose the installation location. You can leave it as default then Click Next  5.Click on Install to start the installation process.  6. Confirm Installation by clicking on Yes 7. Click on Finish  ## Part 2 : Configure AWS CLI On Windows Open command prompt or git bash on your system to run the following commands( Git bash has been used) 1.Confirm whether aws cli was successfully installed using this command.   2.If aws cli was installed successfully, bash will produce the output above. 3.To configure credentials for AWS, enter the following command to get started.  4.Provide the access key ID and secret access key and hit Enter  5.Verify the Installation To verify that the AWS CLI is installed correctly and can connect to your AWS account, run: ```sh aws sts get-caller-identity ``` If configured correctly, this command will return details about your IAM user, such as the user ID and ARN. 6.Confirm if we can access our AWS account via the CLI by listing instances running in the current region.  As shown, there are no instances currently running. Installing AWS CLI On Linux: 1.Open the Terminal and run: `curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip" unzip awscliv2.zip sudo ./aws/install ` Installing AWS CLI On macOS: 1.Open the Terminal and run: `curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg" sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target / ` Conclusion Creating and securing your AWS account is important.This guide has provided step-by-step instructions on how to create an AWS account, set up an IAM user, and follow best practices to maintain a secure and well-managed environment. From signing up for an AWS account and configuring root account security to creating IAM users and setting up the AWS CLI, these steps help ensure that you can manage your AWS resources effectively and securely. By following these guidelines, you can confidently navigate your AWS account setup, automate tasks using the AWS CLI, and maintain a secure cloud environment.

It started with Grok-0, a prototype LLM with 33 billion parameters that demonstrated capabilities comparable to larger models like LLaMA 2, but with more efficient use of training resources. Over the course of two months, the xAI team worked tirelessly to enhance the model's reasoning and coding abilities, culminating in the creation of Grok-1. The development of Grok has been underpinned by a robust engineering effort. xAI built a custom training and inference stack based on Kubernetes, Rust, and JAX, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the model's training process. This infrastructure has been crucial in maximizing compute utility and minimizing downtime, even when dealing with unreliable hardware. ### The Capabilities of Grok API Grok-1 represents a significant leap forward in AI technology. It's a state-of-the-art language model that has shown remarkable performance on various benchmarks designed to measure mathematical and reasoning skills. On the HumanEval coding task, Grok-1 achieved a score of 63.2%, and on the Multidisciplinary Multichoice Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, it scored an impressive 73%. To further validate Grok-1's capabilities, xAI subjected the model to a series of evaluations using standard machine learning benchmarks. These included solving middle school math word problems, answering multidisciplinary multiple-choice questions, completing Python code, and tackling mathematics problems written in LaTeX.  In a testament to its real-world applicability, Grok-1 was also evaluated on the 2023 Hungarian national high school finals in mathematics, a dataset it had never been explicitly trained on. Remarkably, Grok-1 passed the exam with a C grade, showcasing its ability to reason and perform well on new, unseen data.  ## The Key Edges of Grok API ### Real-Time Information Access Grok can access information in real-time through the social media platform X, providing it with up-to-date knowledge about current events. ### Two Interaction Modes - Fun Mode: The chatbot adopts a more edgy or humorous personality and may sometimes produce factually incorrect responses for entertainment. - Regular Mode: Delivers more accurate answers, but like all AI chatbots, there's still a potential for false or contradictory information. ### Custom Training Grok-1, the language model behind Grok, was trained using a custom tech stack including Kubernetes, JAX, and Rust, which allowed for faster and more efficient development. ### Direct Access to Social Media Posts Grok's training includes text data from the internet as well as direct access to posts on X, giving it "real-time knowledge of the world." ### Humorous and "Rebellious" Personality Inspired by "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, Grok is designed to be playful and capable of handling offbeat or snarky conversations. ### Versatile Capabilities Grok can draft emails, debug code, generate ideas, and perform other tasks in fluent, human-like language. ## Addressing the Cons: Limitations of Grok API While integrating the Grok API could offer numerous benefits, it's important to consider the potential limitations that might impact its effectiveness in certain workflows. ### Controversial Content and Fixed Style One of the distinctive features of Grok is its willingness to engage with questions that other chatbots might deem inappropriate or sensitive. This aligns with Elon Musk's advocacy for free speech, but it also introduces risks: - Controversial Content: Grok's openness to addressing taboo or potentially harmful topics could lead to the generation of content that is controversial or offensive to some users. This might not align with the values or brand image of certain organizations and could potentially lead to reputational damage. - Fixed Style: Grok's personality is modeled after "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," which gives it a fixed style that is humorous and edgy. This lack of flexibility in tone might not suit all business environments, especially those that require a more formal or sensitive approach to communication. ### Only Offering gRPC API The decision to offer only a gRPC API instead of a REST API has implications for developers and businesses: - Development Complexity: gRPC requires a different set of skills and tools compared to REST. Developers unfamiliar with gRPC or Protocol Buffers may face a steeper learning curve, which could slow down the integration process. - Compatibility Issues: Systems that rely on RESTful services may need additional work to communicate with a gRPC API, potentially requiring the use of intermediaries or proxies to translate requests and responses. ### Limited Adjustable Parameters The flexibility of the Grok API in terms of customization is another consideration: - Limited Personalization: According to the Chat SDK Documentation of Grok API, there are only a few parameters that can be adjusted, which might limit the ability to tailor the chatbot's behavior to specific needs or preferences.  - Interaction Constraints: With limited adjustable parameters, the room for personalized interaction is quite restricted. This could affect the user experience, especially in scenarios where a more nuanced or context-aware response is required. ## 4 Alternatives to Grok API on Novita AI To overcome the limitations of Grok API, Novita AI LLM API provides developers with many cost-effective LLM options and plenty of adjustable parameters.

The Adventures of Blink #30: Change Agents

Let's dust off my crystal ball today. What do I as the writer know about you as the reader? Well,...

https://dev.to/linkbenjamin/the-adventures-of-blink-30-change-agents-1n8d

developers, management, careerdevelopment, productivity

Let's dust off my crystal ball today. What do I as the writer know about you as the reader? Well, if you're the kind of dev who's out here avidly reading blogs by other devs like me, it means you're the type of person who checks a few boxes: - You're interested in technology, mostly software development. (_It'd be hard to find this blog otherwise!_) - You're exposed to wide variety of ideas and schools of thought. (_I know I'm just one voice of many, even here on DEV._) - You're interested in growing & improving. (_You wouldn't be out here exposing yourself to new ideas otherwise!_)  (Hey - I'm right there with ya. Nerds rule the world! 🤓) I also know that there are a finite number of companies out there. While there are many who are pushing the envelope and working hard to improve developers' career experience, there statistically has to be a significant percentage who aren't. (_It's kinda like the George Carlin joke: "Imagine how dumb the average person is. Now realize that half of them are dumber than that!"_) So it stands to reason that at some point, _you_... the technophile developer who's been exposed to a lot of different ideas and is interested in growing and improving... _you_ are going to be in a job where you think something needs to change. Heck, you might be in that job already! ## I want to see something change. What do I do now??? Knowing there's a better way is a bit like Pandora's box - once you open up to a new idea, you'll never be able to be at peace knowing that there's a better way and you aren't doing it. So if you've acquired that knowledge already, you really only have two possible courses of action: ### Don't try to change it. Just leave.  Oh, Blink, that's kinda harsh, isn't it? Yes, it is. But finding another place to work is definitely an option. You know what to search for now - you know the things that are making you unhappy and you can head out and find a place that matches your beliefs. In some cases, you might actually find that this is the BEST option. When would that be? - **If Management is entrenched, and you're not part of the 'in' crowd**. You know the "good old boys' club" when you see it. There's a group of folks whose careers advanced together and they side with each other in the debates and they've cornered the market on "how we do stuff". Your chances of making significant change in an organization like this are slim. If you were part of the "club" you could use that influence to grow... but if you're not, every. single. step. will be a drag. And their influence will water down the changes you're trying to make, too - you might fight long and hard to implement something, only to have it mangled into something that doesn't actually make life better.  - **If Management is toxic.** I wish so much that I could convince more people that working under toxic management "just because I'm grateful to have a job" isn't worth it. If you think your management is toxic and you don't have any prospect of joining management yourself to change it, you should be **_actively_** pursuing a new opportunity. You don't owe your employer anything other than the time you've agreed to work - get out as fast as you can!  - **If You're already on the verge of burnout**. Burnout comes in cycles, but the amplitude of the wave increases dramatically once you see a new idea that you can't implement... that is to say your valleys will be much lower, and it will take a longer time and more effort to climb back up to a satisfactory state.  - **You don't have other rebels around you**. Rebelling against the Empire is tough when you have lots of help; doing it alone is foolish. If you can't build at least a small coalition quickly, it's probably better to just cut your losses and run for the hills.  ### Become a Change Agent.  If you choose to stick around, you obviously won't be satisfied with the status quo. You're going to need to share your knowledge and help encourage the team to change directions. ...but "Become a Change Agent" is a mouthful. If you're a software developer, it likely wasn't part of any schooling you had. It's not like someone at the company is going to say, "Hey, let's teach you how to convince us that we need to do things differently and then teach you to teach us how to do it!" ## So how do you become a change agent? Change Agents are like the "Special Forces" of IT - they often have minimal support and have to improvise. ### Change Agent Skillsets - **Technical Acumen.** You have to know how to do the work, both the old way AND the new way. It's the only way to get a valid comparison, and it's absolutely necessary that you test your hypothesis rigorously! Be _sure_ you can make the improvement before you try to sell people on the idea. - **Communication.** You're going to be talking to your fellow engineers. And then to middle management. And then to Architects and the C-Suite. And then to other groups like Security, or Governance/Compliance teams, or Project Managers, or HR, or Legal, or any number of other teams that interface with the processes you're trying to change. You must be comfortable with every one of these conversations, and more importantly, you must make _them_ comfortable with _you_, too! - **Project Management.** As a change agent you won't often get "formal" help from the organization. You'll have to manage yourself and keep on task - which means that in order to be effective, you have to have all those organization skills to keep yourself working on the most valuable task at any given time. - **Architectural Vision.** You need to know what you're trying to change INTO. If you don't have your plan ready, folks will sniff it out early and resist your attempts even more. Note: you don't have to have a meticulous plan in place, but you'd absolutely better have a general outline. What are the big-rock concepts that you're trying to change? What processes are involved, what teams, and how do they have to adjust? ### Being a change agent will require you to fully commit. Organizational change is a difficult proposition, especially if you have to convince everyone that change is needed first. If you're signing up to be a change agent only because you think it's "a nice feather in your cap", beware! You're signing up for a lot of work, and very little reward (most of the time, anyway). You'll be setting yourself up in direct opposition to established practices and habits. You'll be arguing with people several layers up the organization from you. It's not for the faint of heart! ## What Change Agents SHOULDN'T do 1 - Be Unilateral. The "Engineer Brain" tends to take the shortest path. "Hey, I know how to solve this!" and so you do... and then everyone around you goes berserk because you just unilaterally changed how everything works. If you're not changing _together_, you can't actually call it "change". 2 - Get Combative. Another part of the "Engineer Brain" is that we _know that we know that we know_ we're right. We've run the numbers. We've tested. We've implemented it all in our heads and it makes perfect sense. And when someone raises an objection... "how can they be so dumb???" Yeah. We all think it. Don't say it out loud though! Your default tactics (assuming the role of "expert") won't work! 3 - Insist on Perfection. You know exactly how you think your change should be implemented. After all, for the last point you ran the numbers and tested and everything. You're not likely going to get everything just the way you want it. Stop trying to win the whole war in one battle... focus on chipping away at the resistance, taking small wins where you can get them, and gradually move toward the plan in your head. A small rudder turns a big ship, _slowly_. ## What Change Agents SHOULD do 1 - Build Coalitions. This can be uncomfortable for us - as software engineers, very few of us are highly extroverted. But if you start making friends all across the organization, you'll find it easier to implement changes because you'll have friends in whatever team you need help from. Just as we said you shouldn't be unilateral, you should intentionally widen your circle so that you build good relationships with as many different teams as possible. 2 - Encourage and Cheer on. While you're on that journey to build coalitions, one way to endear yourself to another team is to help them succeed in something that they'll get the credit for. At the very least, encouraging them and suggesting ways to help them achieve their goals will ingratiate you with them, but if you can go as far as advocating for them, putting in a good word, or pointing them out for something awesome, you'll be sure to make fast friends. 3 - Lead by Example. I saved this for last because it's my personal favorite. We've all heard the line before: "Be the change you want to see in the world." Well, it's no different as a change agent in an organization! Are you a proponent of Test-Driven Development? Build your app with a suite of unit tests and SHOW people rather than TELL them. Do you think AI is going to be the next Big Thing®? Create stuff with it and demonstrate it to others. There are acres of armchair quarterbacks in the world. They can all tell you what _ought_ to happen. They can explain the theory and strategy in intricate detail... but the number of people who will get out of the armchair and throw the ball themselves is much, much smaller. If you're looking to change even a mildly resistant organization, you'd better be ready to roll up your sleeves and throw down. ## Wrapping up Knowing that things can be better is the easy part. Convincing a group of people to follow you on some foolish idealistic crusade... well, that's gonna take time, effort, and luck. You have a choice: take your skills elsewhere and find greener pastures, or step up and work to change the organization. I believe in you! Thoughtfully building a strategy for championing change will help you hold onto your sanity when things are hectic. I hope you've picked up a couple pointers for leading the charge to make things better for your team... and I hope to see you back here next week as we find some new tech toys to explore! We're going to start a series to build a game together - and pick up some devops and other software engineering principles along the way! See you next time!

database

## 1 Overview ### 1.1 Overview Deploying GBase 8a MPP Cluster on high-configuration servers and NUMA architecture servers (Non-Uniform Memory Access, or NUMA) often results in underutilization of hardware resources when only one database instance is deployed per server. For example: - When the server memory exceeds 300GB, a single database instance struggles to utilize all the memory effectively. - When the server CPU has more than 40 logical cores, a single database instance cannot achieve linear performance improvement with an increase in cores. - When using NUMA architecture servers with multiple NUMA nodes, frequent cross-node memory access by a single database instance leads to suboptimal performance. - A single database instance cannot fully leverage the capabilities of new hardware such as SSD/NVME. The GBase 8a MPP Cluster V9.5.3 version officially supports multi-instance deployment. Deploying multiple database instances on a single server can address these performance utilization issues and improve cluster performance. According to actual tests, adopting a multi-instance deployment on NUMA architecture and high-configuration servers can significantly enhance cluster performance, with an improvement of more than 1x compared to single-instance deployment. This document introduces the installation process, configuration recommendations, and management methods for GBase 8a MPP Cluster V9.5.3 in multi-instance deployment scenarios. ### 1.2 Terminology The terms used in this document are explained as follows: | Term/Definition | Meaning | |-----------------|---------| | Multi-instance | Deployment of multiple database instances, also known as multi-instance deployment, refers to deploying multiple data cluster nodes on a single physical server. Each data cluster node is referred to as a database instance. | | NUMA | Non-Uniform Memory Access | | gcware node | Node managing the cluster, used for sharing information between GClusters | | gcluster node | Node scheduling the cluster, responsible for SQL parsing, SQL optimization, distributed execution plan generation, and execution scheduling. | | data node | Node of the data cluster, also known as gnode, consisting of data nodes, serving as the storage and computation unit of the data. | ## 2 Multi-Instance Installation Deployment ### 2.1 Deployment Plan GBase 8a MPP Cluster installs multiple data nodes on each server. Each data node needs to be configured with a unique IP address, and nodes are distinguished by these IP addresses. A maximum of one gcluster node and one gcware node can be installed per physical server:  Before deploying the cluster, the following tasks need to be planned and completed: 1) **Evaluate and determine the number of instances to be deployed on each server**: - Based on the number of NUMA nodes, memory size, cluster size, and business scenarios (load), evaluate the number of database instances to be deployed on each server. It is generally recommended to deploy no more than 4 database instances on a physical server, with each instance having at least 64GB of available memory. 2) **IP address resource planning**: - Apply for an IP address for each database instance for internal communication within the cluster. It is recommended to configure multiple network cards on the physical server and bind them in load-balancing mode. 3) **Disk planning**: - Different database instances should use different disk groups for disk I/O isolation. For example, configure a RAID5 disk group for each database instance. 4) **Determine cluster architecture**: - It is recommended to have an odd number of gcware nodes and gcluster nodes, with a maximum of one gcware node and one gcluster node per physical server. It is suggested to deploy gcware and gcluster nodes on a single NUMA node, separate from data nodes. 5) **Ensure server and OS environment meet GBase 8a cluster installation requirements**: - Refer to the GBase 8a MPP Cluster product manual. ### 2.2 Cluster Installation Example server IPs for installation: - **Server 1**: - IP1: 192.168.146.20 - IP2: 192.168.146.40 - **Server 2**: - IP3: 192.168.146.21 - IP4: 192.168.146.41 #### Current Cluster Version Limitations 1. The installation package only checks for RedHat, SUSE, and CentOS systems. Other systems need manual adjustments to bypass related checks. 2. Supports Python versions 2.6 and 2.7, not Python 3. 3. A physical machine can have only one coordinator and one gcware, and they must share the same IP. #### 2.2.1 Configure Multiple IPs For servers with multiple 10Gbps network cards, bind multiple network cards to ensure high network availability and maximum bandwidth. For each database instance, configure an IP address on a single network card or bound network cards. Example configuration: ```sh vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p6p2 ```  The blue parts above are the added content, IPADDR1 is the first virtual IP address, and NETMASK1 is the subnet mask for the first virtual IP. Follow this pattern for subsequent virtual IPs. NETMASK must match the NETMASK of the physical IP. If this parameter is not added, the subnet allocated for the virtual IP might differ from the physical IP. - When multiple network cards are not bound, configure one network card for each instance, as shown in the example below:  Restart the network service to apply changes: ```sh service network restart # or systemctl restart network ``` #### 2.2.2 Prepare for Installation Follow the GBase 8a cluster installation steps as outlined in the product manual. Before formal installation: - Create a gbase user on each server: ```sh useradd gbase passwd gbase ``` - Upload and extract the installation files: ```sh tar xjf GBase8a_MPP_Cluster-NoLicense-9.5.3.17-redhat7.3-x86_64.tar.bz2 chown -R gbase:gbase gcinstall ``` - Copy and execute `SetSysEnv.py` on all servers to configure environment variables: ```sh scp SetSysEnv.py [email protected]:/opt python SetSysEnv.py --installPrefix=/opt --dbaUser=gbase ``` - Adjust the permissions of the installation path to allow the gbase user to write: ```sh drwxr-x---. 6 gbase gbase 157 Jan 28 18:59 opt ``` - Modify the installation configuration file `demo.options`:  #### 2.2.3 Execute Installation As the gbase user, run the installation: ```sh python gcinstall.py --silent=demo.options ``` #### 2.2.4 Obtain License If installing the no-license version, skip this section. 1) **Fingerprint Collection**: Use any instance IP from the multi-instance server to obtain the fingerprint: ```sh ./gethostsid -n 192.168.146.20,192.168.146.21 -u gbase -p gbase -f hostsfingers.txt ``` 2) **Generate License**: Email the `hostsfingers.txt` file to the vendor to obtain the license. 3) **Import License**: Import the license to all instances: ```sh ./License -n 192.168.146.20,192.168.146.21,192.168.146.40,192.168.146.41 -u gbase -p gbase -f gbase.lic ``` #### 2.2.5 Cluster Initialization Configure distribution and execute initialization as per the product manual.  ```sh gcadmin createvc vc.xml gcadmin distribution gcChangeInfo.xml p 1 d 1 vc vc1 ```  Ensure primary and standby data slices are on different physical servers for data high availability. ### 2.3 NUMA Binding For high-configuration servers with NUMA architecture, it is recommended to evenly allocate NUMA nodes to different GBase instances. For example, on a server with 8 NUMA nodes running two GBase instances, bind 4 NUMA nodes to each instance. #### 2.3.1 View NUMA Groups For servers with NUMA architecture, you need to install numactl in advance on each server as follows:  Note: This feature must be installed as it is required for starting services. Use the numastat command to view the NUMA groups of the server. The following examples show configurations for 4 NUMA nodes and 8 NUMA nodes. Depending on the number of NUMA nodes, you can allocate 1 NUMA node per instance (IP), 2 NUMA nodes per instance (IP), or 4 NUMA nodes per instance (IP), etc. 4 NUMA nodes:  8 NUMA nodes:  #### 2.3.2 Bind GBase 8a Instances to NUMA Nodes For servers that deploy multiple data nodes (GBase instances) only, it's recommended to evenly distribute the server's CPUs and memory across NUMA nodes based on the number of data nodes. For servers that deploy both data nodes (GBase instances) and gcluster/gcware nodes, it's advisable to deploy gcluster and gcware nodes on the same NUMA node. The binding relationship between GBase 8a instances and NUMA nodes is configured through adjustments to the `gcluster_services` script. After installing multiple instances, because the cluster service startup command `gcluster_services` points to the `gcluster_services` script under any instance (including gnode and gcluster instances), you can specify the `gcluster_services` file of a particular instance to add binding commands. For example, modify the `gcluster_services` file under `IP/gnode/server/bin` to add bindings. There are two methods to start the database service thereafter: **Method 1:** Use the modified `gcluster_services` file every time you start the database service. ```bash cd IP/gnode/server/bin ./gcluster_services all start ``` **Method 2:** Copy the modified `gcluster_services` file to replace the `gcluster_services` files under all instances (`IP/gnode/server/bin/gcluster_services` and `IP/gcluster/server/bin/gcluster_services`). Subsequently, use the regular cluster startup command: ```bash gcluster_services all start ``` Example: For a server with 8 NUMA nodes, where 1 instance is bound to 4 NUMA nodes: Choose any instance's `gnode/server/bin/gcluster_services` file and modify two sections: 1) Original section around line 410:  Modify to:  Note: - `numactl --membind=nodes program` (nodes specify the nodes to allocate, e.g., 0, 1, or other node numbers; program can be an absolute path or a service startup script) - `numactl --cpunodebind=nodes program` (nodes specify CPU nodes, followed by the program) 2) Original section around line 500: Execute code of `gcluster_services all start`  Modify to:  3) Original section around line 450: Execute code of `gcluster_services gbase|syncserver start`  Modify to:  After making these changes to the files above, restart the cluster service: ```bash cd IP/gnode/server/bin ./gcluster_services all start ``` You can verify the NUMA binding effect using the following command: ```bash numastat `pidof gbased` ``` For example, to view the effect of binding 1 NUMA node per instance in a scenario with 2 instances and 2 NUMA nodes per instance: ```bash [root@pst_w61 config]$ numastat `pidof gbased` ```

https://dev.to/achal_tiwari/context-api-1ao3

webdev, beginners, react, tutorial

## What is Context API?  The Context API is a React feature that _allows you to share state across multiple components without having to pass props down manually at every level_. It’s like a global variable that all components in a tree can access but in a more efficient and easy way. Let's first understand the key terms before moving on to the example. If you don't fully grasp the concepts right away, don't worry. Proceeding to the example will help clarify how everything works together. #### Key Concepts of the Context API **Context Creation**: Using `createContext` to create a context object. **Provider**: Using `Context.Provider` to pass the state to child components. **Consumer**: Using `useContext` to access the state in any component. To help you understand the Context API in a practical way, we'll build a very basic login page. In this example, when you type your name and submit it, you'll be greeted with your name. This simple example focuses on the Context API without the complexity of a larger application. I have also explained the code lines in the comments. I will provide the names of all the files to make it easy for you to follow along. You can create these files in your src directory and check the functionality yourself. ### Setting Up the Context `UserContext.js` First, we create a context. This context will hold the user data. ```javascript import React, { createContext } from 'react'; const UserContext = createContext(); export default UserContext; ``` `UserContextProvider.jsx` Next, we create a provider component. This component will wrap around parts of our app that need access to the user data. ```javascript import React, { useState } from 'react'; import UserContext from './UserContext'; const UserContextProvider = ({ children }) => { const [user, setUser] = useState(null); return ( // whatever values you will give below, //will be shared to anyone who will call them using useContext() <UserContext.Provider value={{ user, setUser }}> {children} </UserContext.Provider> ); } export default UserContextProvider; ``` ### Using the Context in Our App `App.jsx` In our main App component, we wrap the relevant parts of our app with the UserContextProvider. ```javascript import React from 'react'; import UserContextProvider from './UserContextProvider'; import Login from './Login.jsx'; import Profile from './Profile.jsx'; function App() { return ( // This wrapping let's every children compenent to have the access // to values using the useContext hook <UserContextProvider> <h1>Context Tutorial</h1> <Login /> <Profile /> </UserContextProvider> ); } export default App; ``` `Login.jsx` In the Login component, we use the useContext hook to access and update the user data. ```javascript import React, { useState, useContext } from 'react'; import UserContext from './UserContext'; function Login() { const [username, setUsername] = useState(''); const [password, setPassword] = useState(''); const { setUser } = useContext(UserContext); // Here, we extract the setUser function from the UserContext using the useContext hook. // Remember, we passed the user and setUser values in the UserContext.Provider: // <UserContext.Provider value={{ user, setUser }}>, which makes them accessible to any component // that uses the useContext hook with UserContext. const handleSubmit = (e) => { e.preventDefault(); setUser({ username, password }); }; return ( <div> <h2>Login</h2> <input type='text' value={username} onChange={(e) => setUsername(e.target.value)} placeholder='username' /> <input type='password' value={password} onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)} placeholder='password' /> <button onClick={handleSubmit}>Submit</button> </div> ); } export default Login; ``` `Profile.jsx` In the Profile component, we use the useContext hook to access the user data. ```javascript import React, { useContext } from 'react'; import UserContext from './UserContext'; function Profile() { const { user } = useContext(UserContext); if (!user) return <div>Login above to have your name here</div>; return <div>Hello {user.username}</div>; } export default Profile; ``` You will see this interface when you run your React App using the above files.  After you enter a username and password(anything as there are no checks), this page will greet you with that username.  ###### Here is the Summary of Context API  This image and the one at the very top is form a [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIyHSOugGGw) by Code Bootcamp.Feel free to ask questions in the comments. I'll be happy to answer them. Happy coding!

bash, linux, devops, sre

As a SysOps engineer, one of your tasks might involve creating and managing user accounts on a Linux server. To streamline this process, you can automate the creation of users and their associated groups using a bash script. This type of script can be useful in large companies to automate the creation of user accounts and assigning groups, saving time and ensuring consistency, especially when onboarding multiple new employees. The following guide walks you through a bash script called `create_users.sh`, which: 1. **Reads a text file** containing usernames and groups. 2. **Creates users** with home directories and random passwords. 3. **Creates groups** and assigns users to them. 4. **Sets up home directories** with appropriate permissions. 5. **Logs actions** to `/var/log/user_management.log`. 6. **Stores passwords** securely in `/var/secure/user_passwords.csv`. ### Prerequisites: Ensure you have the necessary permissions and tools: - Before running the script, ensure you have root user privileges because the script requires administrative privileges to create users, and groups, and set permissions. - The script also uses the OpenSSL command-line tool to generate secure, random passwords for the new users. Ensure that OpenSSL is installed on your system. ### The Script `create_users.sh` script: ```bash #!/bin/bash # Create log file and secure password file with proper permissions LOG_FILE="/var/log/user_management.log" PASSWORD_FILE="/var/secure/user_passwords.csv" # Ensure the script is run as root if [[ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]]; then echo "This script must be run as root." exit 1 fi # Ensure the log file exists touch "$LOG_FILE" # Setup password file if [[ ! -d "/var/secure" ]]; then mkdir /var/secure fi if [[ ! -f "$PASSWORD_FILE" ]]; then touch "$PASSWORD_FILE" chmod 600 "$PASSWORD_FILE" fi # Check if the input file is provided if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then echo "Usage: bash create_users.sh <name-of-text-file>" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - ERROR: No input file provided." >> "$LOG_FILE" exit 1 fi # Read the input file line by line while IFS=';' read -r username groups; do # Skip empty lines [[ -z "$username" ]] && continue # Remove whitespace username=$(echo "$username" | xargs) groups=$(echo "$groups" | xargs) # Create user if not exists if ! id "$username" &>/dev/null; then # Create the user with a home directory useradd -m -s /bin/bash "$username" if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - ERROR: Failed to create user $username." >> "$LOG_FILE" continue fi echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: User $username created." >> "$LOG_FILE" # Generate a random password for the user password=$(openssl rand -base64 12) echo "$username:$password" | chpasswd # Save the password to the secure password file echo "$username,$password" >> "$PASSWORD_FILE" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: Password for user $username generated and stored." >> "$LOG_FILE" else echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: User $username already exists." >> "$LOG_FILE" fi # Create groups and add user to them IFS=',' read -ra group_list <<< "$groups" for group in "${group_list[@]}"; do group=$(echo "$group" | xargs) # Create group if not exists if ! getent group "$group" >/dev/null; then groupadd "$group" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: Group $group created." >> "$LOG_FILE" fi # Add user to the group usermod -a -G "$group" "$username" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: User $username added to group $group." >> "$LOG_FILE" done # Set ownership and permissions for the home directory chown -R "$username:$username" "/home/$username" chmod 700 "/home/$username" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: Home directory for user $username set up with appropriate permissions." >> "$LOG_FILE" done < "$1" echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - INFO: User creation script completed." >> "$LOG_FILE" exit 0 ``` ### Creating the Employee List create a text file (`employees.txt`) with the following format using any editor: e.g ``` john; marketing emma; marketing alex; sales lisa; it mike; it sara; hr chris; finance linda; marketing james; sales ``` ### Running the Script 1. **Upload the script and text file**: Place `create_users.sh` and `employees.txt` in a directory on your Ubuntu VM (e.g., `/opt/scripts`). 2. **Set permissions and execute**: ```bash chmod +x /opt/scripts/create_users.sh sudo /opt/scripts/create_users.sh /opt/scripts/employees.txt ``` ### Verifying Execution After running the script, verify its success by checking: 1. **User creation**: ```bash id john ``` 2. **Group assignments**: ```bash groups john ``` 3. **Log file**: ```bash cat /var/log/user_management.log ``` 4. **Password storage**: ```bash cat /var/secure/user_passwords.csv ``` ## Logic ###Roadmap ``` Start | V Check for root privileges | V Ensure log and password files exist | V Check if input file is provided | V Read input file line by line | V For each line: - Separate username and groups - Remove whitespace - If user doesn't exist, create user and generate password - If group doesn't exist, create group - Assign user to groups - Log actions | V End ``` So let’s think about it. As per the requirements, we need to be able to write a script that takes input from a text file. This file will be arranged in a specific way, with usernames and groups separated by a semicolon. Our script has to differentiate between these sections and handle the input accordingly. **Understanding the Process** The script should pick the first column as the username and use it to create the users. The other column after the ';', which lists the groups, will be used to assign those groups to the users. All actions should be logged to a specified log file, and the generated passwords need to go to /var/secure/user_passwords.txt. To keep things organized and avoid repetition, we declare the log file and the password file at the beginning of the script. **Root Privileges and File Checks** We start by ensuring the script runs with root privileges. This helps to avoid any hiccups and ensures all commands execute smoothly. Next, we need to check if the log file and the CSV file for passwords exist. If they don't, the script creates them. **Handling Input and Differentiating Data** Another requirement is to handle the input file. Using an if block and a while loop, we first ensure the text file has been passed as an argument to the script. The script then differentiates usernames and groups, using the semicolon to separate the columns. To remove any whitespaces, we created variables containing the sorted usernames and group values obtained from the text file. **Creating Users and Generating Passwords** The next step is to create a user if it doesn’t already exist. This involves another if block to execute the 'user add' command if the user is not yet created. Before we create groups and assign users, we need to generate random passwords. We use OpenSSL to generate a random password greater than 12 characters. The generated password is then saved securely to the CSV file using redirection. **Creating Groups and Assigning Users** Finally, we create the necessary groups and assign the users to them. The script checks if the group already exists, creates it if it doesn’t, and then assigns the user to the group. All these actions are logged to the /var/log/user_management.log file. ------------------------------------------------- This article is part of a requirement for stage 1 task in HNG11 Internship.

As a learning experience, I've been working on a side bar for a website I am creating with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I want to display a different side menu depending on what icon the user clicks on. This morning I added the hover highlighting and the click functionality to expand the side bar. However I want to render some new <div> elements to the space that the side bar creates. What is the best practice in this case? My non-webdev instincts tell me to separate out the html into different files for readability.

https://dev.to/congcong/enabling-and-querying-slow-logs-in-gbase-8c-71p

database

GBase 8c allows you to locate issues and diagnose problems using slow logs. Here is how to configure and use slow logs in GBase 8c: ## 1. Slow Log Configuration ### (1) Relevant GUC Parameters The main configuration parameters for GBase 8c slow logs are: - **`enable_stmt_track`** - `on`: Default value, enables capture of Full/Slow SQL. - `off`: Disables capture of Full/Slow SQL. - **`track_stmt_stat_level`** - Composite parameter in the form of 'full sql stat level, slow sql stat level'. - The first part is the full SQL tracking level, with values: `OFF`, `L0`, `L1`, `L2`. - The second part is the slow SQL tracking level, with values: `OFF`, `L0`, `L1`, `L2`. - Recommended value: `OFF,L0`. - **`log_min_duration_statement`** - Time threshold: when a statement's execution time exceeds this value, its execution information is logged. - Value range: `-1` to `2147483647` milliseconds. Default value: `30min`. - **`instr_unique_sql_count`** - When the number of unique SQL entries generated in the system exceeds `instr_unique_sql_count`, automatic cleanup occurs or logging stops. - Recommended value: `200000`. - **`track_stmt_details_size`** - Maximum size of a single statement's collected SQL, default value: `4096 byte`. - **`track_stmt_retention_time`** - Composite parameter controlling the retention time for full/slow SQL records, read every 60 seconds. - Format: 'full sql retention time, slow sql retention time'. - Full SQL retention time range: `0` to `86400`. - Slow SQL retention time range: `0` to `604800`. - Default value: `3600,604800`. ### (2) Method to Configure Slow Logs First, log in as the database installation user: ```sh su - gbase ``` Then execute: ```sh gs_guc reload -Z coordinator -N all -I all -c "enable_stmt_track = ON" gs_guc reload -Z coordinator -N all -I all -c "track_stmt_stat_level = 'OFF,L0'" gs_guc reload -Z coordinator -N all -I all -c "log_min_duration_statement = 1000" gs_guc reload -Z coordinator -N all -I all -c "instr_unique_sql_count = 200000" gs_guc reload -Z coordinator -N all -I all -c "track_stmt_retention_time = '3600,10800'" ``` ## 2. Querying Slow Logs Log in to the database to query slow logs and full logs within the GBase 8c database. Note that queries need to be performed in the `postgres` system library. ### Slow Log Query Views: ```sql dbe_perf.get_global_slow_sql_by_timestamp(start_timestamp timestamp with time zone, end_timestamp timestamp with time zone); ``` ### Slow Log Query: ```sql select * from dbe_perf.get_global_slow_sql_by_timestamp(start_timestamp, end_timestamp); ``` ### Full Log Query Views: ```sql dbe_perf.get_global_full_sql_by_timestamp(start_timestamp timestamp with time zone, end_timestamp timestamp with time zone); ``` ### Full Log Query: ```sql select * from dbe_perf.get_global_full_sql_by_timestamp(start_timestamp, end_timestamp); ``` ## 3. Common SQL Optimization Techniques in GBase 8c ### GUC Parameter Optimization Optimize execution plans by setting GUC parameters. ### Table Definition Optimization Choose appropriate table definitions based on business needs, including storage models, table distribution keys, partition tables, suitable data types, and indexes. Table definition optimization includes: - **Storage Mode**: GBase8c supports row storage, column storage, and in-memory storage. Choose the appropriate mode based on the business scenario. - **Distribution Key**: In a distributed structure, data is split according to the specified distribution key (column). If data needed for a join or operation is on different nodes, redistribution may be required, reducing efficiency. Keeping related data on the same node reduces data interaction during SQL execution, improving efficiency. - **Field Types and Lengths**: Design appropriate field types and lengths; create suitable indexes; use partition tables where necessary. Example: Efficiency difference due to different distribution keys: ```sql -- When join field is a distribution key, the execution is pushed down to DN nodes for higher efficiency. postgres=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM td1,td2 WHERE td1.a=td2.c ORDER BY a; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remote Subquery Scan on all (dn1,dn2,dn3) (cost=2.04..2.05 rows=1 width=16) -> Sort (cost=2.04..2.05 rows=1 width=16) Sort Key: td1.a -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..2.03 rows=1 width=16) Join Filter: (td1.a = td2.c) -> Seq Scan on td1 (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=8) -> Seq Scan on td2 (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=8) (7 rows) -- When join field is not a distribution key, data is pulled to CN node for execution, resulting in lower efficiency. postgres=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM td1,td2 WHERE td1.b=td2.b ORDER BY a; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remote Subquery Scan on all (dn1,dn2,dn3) (cost=2.04..2.05 rows=1 width=16) -> Sort (cost=2.04..2.05 rows=1 width=16) Sort Key: td1.a -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..2.03 rows=1 width=16) Join Filter: (td1.b = td2.b) -> Remote Subquery Scan on all (dn1,dn2,dn3) (cost=100.00..101.02 rows=1 width=8) Distribute results by H: b -> Seq Scan on td1 (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=8) -> Materialize (cost=100.00..101.03 rows=1 width=8) -> Remote Subquery Scan on all (dn1,dn2,dn3) (cost=100.00..101.02 rows=1 width=8) Distribute results by H: b -> Seq Scan on td2 (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=8) (12 rows) ``` ### Statistical Information Optimization GBase 8c generates optimal execution plans based on cost estimation using `analyze` collected statistics. Statistics are crucial for optimizer estimations and cost calculations. Analyze execution plans to find inefficient operators and optimize or force plan changes. Typically, GBase8c chooses the best plan during execution, with manual adjustments needed only if they improve efficiency. ### Operator-Level Optimization Queries go through multiple operator steps to produce the final result. Performance issues often arise from bottleneck operators. Use `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` or `PERFORMANCE` commands to identify bottlenecks and optimize accordingly. ### SQL Query Rewriting Adjust SQL queries following specific rules to improve execution efficiency while ensuring correct results. Example: Using `exists` instead of `in`: ```sql -- Inefficient query using IN select st.id,st.name from stu st where st.age=5 and st.id not in ( select stu_id from stu_info where code in ('a','b','c','d') ); test=# explain select st.id,st.name from stu st where st.age=5 and st.id not in ( test(# select stu_id from stu_info where code in ('a','b','c','d') test(# ); QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LightProxy (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1000 width=222) Node/s: All datanodes -> Nested Loop Anti Join (cost=0.00..2.22 rows=1 width=10) Join Filter: ((st.id = stu_info.stu_id) OR (st.id IS NULL) OR (stu_info.stu_id IS NULL)) -> Seq Scan on stu st (cost=0.00..1.06 rows=1 width=10) Filter: (age = 5) -> Materialize (cost=0.00..1.09 rows=4 width=4) -> Seq Scan on stu_info (cost=0.00..1.07 rows=4 width=4) Filter: ((code)::text = ANY ('{a,b,c,d}'::text[])) (9 rows) -- Efficient query using EXISTS select st.id,st.name from stu st where st.age=5 and not exists ( select 1 from stu_info si where si.stu_id=st.id and si.code in ('a','b','c','d') ); test=# explain select st.id,st.name from stu st where st.age=5 and not exists ( test(# select 1 from stu_info si where si.stu_id=st.id and si.code in ('a','b','c','d') test(# ); QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- LightProxy (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1000 width=222) Node/s: All datanodes -> Hash Right Anti Join (cost=1.07..2.15 rows=1 width=10) Hash Cond: (si.stu_id = st.id) -> Seq Scan on stu_info si (cost=0.00..1.07 rows=4 width=4) Filter: ((code)::text = ANY ('{a,b,c,d}'::text[])) -> Hash (cost=1.06..1.06 rows=1 width=10) -> Seq Scan on stu st (cost=0.00..1.06 rows=1 width=10) Filter: (age = 5) (9 rows) ``` Other optimizations include avoiding `SELECT *`, using `LIMIT` to restrict rows returned, avoiding functions in `WHERE` conditions, and combining multiple inserts into batch inserts.

https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust

rust, learning, reducststore, database

This quick start guide will walk you through the process of installing and using the [**ReductStore Rust Client SDK**](https://github.com/reductstore/reduct-rs) to read and write data to a [**ReductStore**](https://www.reduct.store/) instance. ## Installing the Rust SDK[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#installing-the-rust-sdk) To start using the ReductStore Rust SDK, add the following dependency to your `Cargo.toml` file: ```toml [dependencies] reduct-rs = "1" ``` Then, import the `reduct-rs` crate in your Rust code: ## Running ReductStore[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#running-reductstore) If you don't already have a ReductStore instance running, you can easily spin up one as a Docker container. To do this, run the following command: ``` docker run -p 8383:8383 -e RS_API_TOKEN="my-token" reduct/store:latest ``` This will start a ReductStore instance listening on port 8383 on your local machine. The `RS_API_TOKEN` environment variable is used to authenticate requests to the ReductStore instance. You can set it to any value you like, but you will need to use the same value when creating a `Client` object in your code. If Docker is not an option, you can also download the ReductStore binaries. Check the [**Download Page**](https://www.reduct.store/download). ## Hello World Example[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#hello-world-example) Now when you have the SDK installed and a ReductStore instance running, you can start using the SDK to interact with the ReductStore database. Here is an example of using the SDK to perform basic operations on a ReductStore instance: ```rust use bytes::Bytes; use futures_util::stream::StreamExt; use reduct_rs::{QuotaType, ReductClient, ReductError}; use std::pin::pin; use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime}; use tokio; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), ReductError> { // 1. Create a ReductStore client let client = ReductClient::builder() .url("http://127.0.0.1:8383") .api_token("my-token") .build(); // 2. Get or create a bucket with 1Gb quota let bucket = client .create_bucket("my-bucket") .quota_type(QuotaType::FIFO) .quota_size(1_000_000_000) .exist_ok(true) .send() .await?; // 3. Write some data with timestamps in the 'sensor-1' entry let start = SystemTime::now(); bucket .write_record("sensor-1") .data(Bytes::from_static(b"Record #1")) .timestamp(start) .send() .await?; bucket .write_record("sensor-1") .data(Bytes::from_static(b"Record #2")) .timestamp(start + Duration::from_secs(1)) .send() .await?; // 4. Query the data by time range let query = bucket .query("sensor-1") .start(start) .stop(start + Duration::from_secs(2)) .send() .await?; let mut query = pin!(query); while let Some(record) = query.next().await { let record = record?; println!("Record timestamp: {:?}", record.timestamp()); println!("Record size: {}", record.content_length()); println!("{:?}", record.bytes().await?); } // 5. Exit Ok(()) } ``` Let's break down what this example is doing. ## Creating a Client[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#creating-a-client) Before you can interact with a ReductStore instance, you must create a `Client` object that represents a connection to the ReductStore instance. To create a ReductStore client, you can use the `ReductClient::builder()` method from the `reduct_rs` crate to create a builder instance. You must pass the URL of the ReductStore server as an argument to the `ClientBuilder::new()` method. Then, call the `build()` method on the builder instance to create a `Client` instance: ```rust let client = ReductClient::builder() .url("http://127.0.0.1:8383") .api_token("my-token") .build(); ``` ## Creating a Bucket[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#creating-a-bucket) ReductStore organizes data into buckets, each of which has its own quota and settings. It's a necessary step to create a bucket before writing data to it. You can read more about buckets in the [**Buckets Guide**](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/guides/buckets), but for now, let's just create one. To create a bucket, you should use the `create_bucket` method on a `Client` instance. The method takes the name of the bucket you want to create as an argument and returns a `BucketBuilder` instance to configure the bucket settings. Call the `send` method on the `BucketBuilder` to send the request to the ReductStore server and create the bucket: ```rust let bucket = client .create_bucket("my-bucket") .quota_type(QuotaType::FIFO) .quota_size(1_000_000_000) .exist_ok(true) .send() .await?; ``` In this example we create a bucket with a FIFO quota of 1GB. This means that the oldest data will be deleted when the bucket reaches 1GB. ## Data Ingestion[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#data-ingestion) Time series data is stored in entries within a bucket. An entry is a collection of records with unique timestamps. It must have a unique name within the bucket and usually represents a data source, such as [**a vibration sensor**](https://www.reduct.store/use-cases/vibration-sensors) or [**a CV camera**](https://www.reduct.store/blog/tutorials/computer-vision/3-ways-stora-data-for-computer-vision-applications). To write a timestamped record to an entry in a bucket, you should use the `write_record` method on a `Bucket` instance. Pass the name of the entry you want to write to as an argument. The method will return a `RecordBuilder` instance to pass the data and timestamp you want to write. Call the `send` method on the `RecordBuilder` to send the request to the ReductStore server and write the record: ```rust let start = SystemTime::now(); bucket .write_record("sensor-1") .data(Bytes::from_static(b"Record #1")) .timestamp(start) .send() .await?; bucket .write_record("sensor-1") .data(Bytes::from_static(b"Record #2")) .timestamp(start + Duration::from_secs(1)) .send() .await?; ``` This is the simplest case of writing data using the Python SDK. You can also write data in chunks and annotate records with labels. You can find more information and examples in the [**Data Ingestion Guide**](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/guides/data-ingestion). ## Data Querying[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#data-querying) Usually, we don't read a particular record by its timestamp, but query records in a time range. To iterate over all records in a given time range, you should use the `query` method on a bucket instance. Pass the name of the entry to iterate over. The method will return a `QueryBuilder` instance to specify the time interval. Call the `send` method on the `QueryBuilder` to send the request to the ReductStore server and return a stream of records: ```rust let query = bucket .query("sensor-1") .start(start) .stop(start + Duration::from_secs(2)) .send() .await?; let mut query = pin!(query); while let Some(record) = query.next().await { let record = record?; println!("Record timestamp: {:?}", record.timestamp()); println!("Record size: {}", record.content_length()); println!("{:?}", record.bytes().await?); } ``` The query method has many parameters for filtering and returning sample records. For more information and examples, see the [**Data Querying Guide**](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/guides/data-querying). ## Next Steps[](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/getting-started/with-rust#next-steps) As you can see to get started with the Client SDK is very easy. However,it doesn't cover all the features of the SDK and the database. Check our [**Guides**](https://www.reduct.store/docs/next/guides) to learn more about the ReductStore features and how to use them.

git, learning

**1. Understand the Basics** Grasp what git reset does. It changes the state of your repository. It can move the HEAD, change the index, and adjust the working directory. **2. Use --soft for Safe Resets** When you use git reset --soft, it keeps changes in the index. This is perfect for undoing commits but keeping your changes staged. **3. Apply --mixed for Moderate Resets** The default git reset --mixed keeps changes in your working directory but unstages them. This helps when you want to edit your changes before committing again. **4. Go Hard with --hard** git reset --hard wipes changes from the index and working directory. Use this only when you are sure you want to discard all local changes. **5. Reset to a Specific Commit** Point to a specific commit by using git reset <commit>. This rewinds your repository to that commit, making it easy to undo mistakes. **6. Be Cautious with Branches** Always ensure you're on the correct branch before resetting. Resetting the wrong branch can cause loss of important work. **7. Combine with git reflog** Use git reflog to view the history of HEAD changes. It helps you recover commits after a reset, ensuring you don't lose valuable work. Mastering git reset can save you from many headaches. Use these strategies to handle your repository with confidence.

_This [blog](https://www.letterstocoders.com/p/is-learning-to-code-hard-a-pragmatic) was originally published on Substack. Subscribe to ‘[Letters to New Coders](https://www.letterstocoders.com/)’ to receive free weekly posts._ As someone who started a company that helps people learn coding skills, I hear this question all the time: “Is learning to code hard?” (In fact, the last time I was asked this was less than 24 hours ago). It’s a popular question, but it’s also a misguided question. It’s impossible to objectively claim whether learning to code is hard. Everything is subjective. Of course, it’s safe to expect that learning to code will have its challenging moments. But learning to code is also very attainable. So if someone asked me “is coding hard,” I would tell them this: _Your personal learning journey is a function of the skills you need to learn and the time you have to study._ Or, to put it more simply: **all it takes is time and effort.**  Today I want to go back to the question “is learning to code hard,” and unpack a few assumptions. Whether they realize it or not, anyone asking this question is most likely trying to grapple with another question — and I’ll share what that question is at the end of this blog. But first, I want to share what you can expect from your learning journey based on your personal background. ## Your learning curve = Time x Skills Learning to code is all about building new skills, and it takes time to obtain those skills. Depending on your background, you will have a different learning journey (and curve) than other aspiring programmers. Let’s break down what that could mean for you. ## Skills you’ll need to become a developer Some skills will differ depending on your specialization, but apart from that, the coding fundamentals remain the same. Many people start immediately by trying to learn a programming language, but I personally believe that starting with foundational problem-solving skills is the way to go. Problem-solving is the core of what developers do. We understand problems and learn how to tell computers how to implement optimal solutions. Every successful developer has highly developed problem-solving skills, so you’ll want to strengthen these skills from the start. This involves training your brain to think like a coder, i.e. learning to solve problems algorithmically by breaking them down into their component parts. Either after or alongside problem-solving, you’ll learn a **programming language** and its basics: its syntax, functions, variables, and so on. From there, you’ll learn the specialized tools that developers use to solve problems: data structures and algorithms. Another essential skill is **debugging**. As unpleasant as it may be, your code will suffer from bugs for various reasons. It’s either going to behave unexpectedly or it won’t even run. This is normal and to be expected. Debugging is just as essential as learning to code. (In case you missed it, check out my recent post on [debugging secrets](https://www.letterstocoders.com/p/the-debugging-secret-i-wish-they)).  At this point, you’ve covered the coding basics, but the rest of your skill acquisition depends on your goals for **career specialization.** Certain specializations will require more advanced skills than others. For example, let’s zoom in on the math requirements. While a front-end web developer can do well with just basic algebra, machine learning engineers will need to learn Linear Algebra, etc. **Time it takes to become a developer** Learning to code could take anywhere from 12 weeks to six years. That’s a big range because there are significant variables that can affect your learning progress. The biggest variable of all is simply the **time you can commit to learning and practicing**. The person who has only 2 hours to study every week simply won’t learn as quickly as someone with 40 hours of study time. If you have less time to spare due to other commitments, it’s more effective to practice often for shorter periods of time, than to fit your studies into infrequent cram sessions (e.g., 1 hour twice a week is better than 2 hours once a week). If you’re fortunate enough to have a lot of time and happen to pick up programming quickly, you might be able to build decent sized programs in as little as 12 weeks. However, you’d still need a lot more time to secure a job or become truly proficient as a programmer. **Are there other variables?** Skills and time are the most easily predictable variables. However, there are various other circumstances that may slow or accelerate your learning journey. Just as with sports, there may be skills (or in the case of sports, genetics) that can help you learn coding more quickly. For instance, you may find that thinking like a programmer comes more naturally if you come from a background in analytical thinking, such as math, philosophy, logic, engineering, or even science. And of course, if you already have exposure to seeing code or programming languages, that will also help you ramp up more quickly. Because they can either accelerate or slow down our learning process, it can be easy to think of unique circumstances as advantages or disadvantages, but I think that’s an oversimplification. To me, there’s no benefit in attaching a positive/negative value statement to circumstances that you cannot change. These words are a product of comparing oneself with your perception of others — perceptions that may not be grounded in reality. (In fact, I would even argue that the more obstacles you overcome, the stronger programmer you will be in the long run). Just as with learning any new skill, everyone will face unique challenges when learning certain aspects of programming. Some topics will come easier to you while others won’t. This is true for every developer, no matter how “talented” they may be. These challenges that lead to difficulty are what I like to call **roadblocks**. There’s truly no way to predict exactly when you will hit roadblocks, but you should expect that they will arise at various points along your journey. And while roadblocks may seem to slow your progress, just know that these dips or plateaus in your learning are actually the precedent to having breakthroughs. (In fact, this process is what educators call a productive struggle, something I talked about in a [post a couple weeks back](https://www.letterstocoders.com/p/learning-to-code-heres-why-getting)). No matter our circumstances, the only difference between skilled developers and beginners is persistence and time. ## Let’s answer the REAL question in your head Now let’s revisit our original question: “is learning to code hard?” I believe what people are really wondering when they ask this question is this: **Can I really manage to become a programmer?** And to answer that question, there’s really only one way to find out. How can we tell if someone can manage to become a chef? There’s no diagnostic test that tells us this information. Even if there were a diagnostic test, what would it assess? A person’s textbook knowledge of ingredients, food allergies, and the difference between stainless steel and cast iron isn’t enough to make them a great chef. Neither is it enough to simply have them cook something and taste it. The final product or the presentation can’t tell us whether someone’s a great chef because it’s what happens behind the scenes that proves their greatness. Excellent chefs deliver your meal despite any challenges they encounter in the inevitable chaos of the kitchen. They may have burnt the food, used salt instead of sugar, or gotten new oil stains, but you still wouldn’t know the difference based on the quality of the dish in front of you. The only true way to know if you can become a programmer is to try it and stick with it. This means persisting **despite any struggle** along the way. Only when you get past that baking period (pun intended) can you know if you have what it takes to be a programmer. On that note, you can take your first steps at the problem-solving foundations of coding with a [Taste of Code](https://www.educative.io/module/page/k5m3gAColoJZZj89Y/10370001/4607683377364992/6679102928060416).

https://dev.to/novita_ai/the-magic-of-virtualization-5873

## Origins and Historical Background The origins of virtualization technology can be traced back to the 1960s when IBM's mainframe systems, such as the System/360, introduced the concept of "partitioning." This technology allowed mainframes to run different operating systems and applications in separate partitions, each with its own resources and environment. This marked the birth of virtualization technology, laying the foundation for its subsequent development.As technology evolved, virtualization gradually expanded from mainframes to minicomputers and personal computers. In the 1970s and 1980s, virtualization began to be applied on UNIX systems, such as Sun Microsystems' Solaris Zones and the chroot environment in Linux. ## Types and Characteristics of Virtualization ### Full Virtualization Full virtualization technology achieves abstraction of physical hardware through the introduction of a Virtual Machine Monitor (Hypervisor) layer, allowing guest operating systems (Guest OS) to run unknowingly. The Hypervisor is responsible for managing resource allocation and isolation for multiple virtual machines, ensuring each VM operates safely and independently.  **Characteristics**: - Guest operating systems can run unmodified. - Provides high levels of isolation and security. - Supports a wide range of operating systems. **Case Studies**: - KVM: As part of the Linux kernel, KVM provides full virtualization capabilities, supporting a wide range of hardware platforms and operating systems. - VMware vSphere: VMware's flagship product, offering enterprise-level virtualization solutions, supporting large-scale VM deployment and management. - Microsoft Hyper-V: Part of Windows Server, Hyper-V offers robust virtualization features, including dynamic memory allocation and live migration. ### Paravirtualization Paravirtualization requires the guest operating system to be aware that it is running in a virtual environment and to interact with the virtualization software through specific APIs. This technology can offer better performance than full virtualization but requires modifications to the operating system.  **Characteristics**: Requires modifications to the guest operating system. Can offer better performance than full virtualization. Typically used for specific virtualization platforms. **Case Studies**: - Xen: Originally designed as a paravirtualization platform, Xen provides an efficient virtualization solution by modifying the Linux kernel, suitable for scenarios requiring high performance and security. ### Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Hardware-assisted virtualization technology leverages modern processors' extended instruction sets, such as Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-V, to accelerate the virtualization process. These hardware features reduce the overhead of virtualization software, improving VM performance.  **Characteristics**: - Leverages hardware capabilities to enhance virtualization performance. - Reduces the complexity of the virtual machine monitor. - Provides improved performance and lower latency. **Case Studies**: - Intel VT-x: Intel's virtualization technology, providing acceleration for virtualization software through hardware support, enabling VMs to perform closer to native speeds. - AMD-V: AMD's virtualization technology, similar to Intel VT-x, offering hardware-level virtualization support, enhancing the performance of virtualized environments. - IBM PowerVM: IBM's virtualization solution, designed specifically for Power systems, utilizes hardware-assisted virtualization technology to provide an efficient virtualized environment. ## Applications of Virtualization Technology Virtualization technology has been widely applied in various fields, including but not limited to: - Cloud computing: Cloud service providers use virtualization technology to offer scalable computing resources and services. - Development and testing: Developers use virtualization to create isolated development and testing environments. - Education and research: Educational institutions use virtualization to provide students access to a variety of operating systems and applications. ## Conclusion The development of virtualization technology has greatly propelled the modernization of IT infrastructure, offering higher efficiency, flexibility, and security. With continuous technological advancements, we can anticipate that virtualization will play an even more significant role in future computing environments.

webdev, javascript, beginners, react

After a short break, thorough understanding, and countless hours of thinking. Here is the continuation of [All The Javascript Concepts You Need To Know Before Learning React (Part 1)](https://dev.to/up_min_sparcs/all-the-javascript-concepts-you-need-to-know-before-learning-react-part-1-3if5) article I made a while ago. These concepts will act as a bridge towards learning React. Without further ado, let's delve into this article. ## 6. Understanding DOM The Document Object Model, or DOM for short, is the representation of a web page. It has a tree-like structure where each node represents an individual HTML element. The DOM can be manipulated using JavaScript to create dynamic content and change or add elements, attributes, and styles. Performance-wise, direct DOM manipulation can be a problem, especially for complex applications, as you need to grab the nodes and apply changes to them manually, and the browser needs to re-render frequently, causing inefficiency and difficulty in managing.  ### Virtual DOM React has its own kind of DOM called Virtual DOM, which is a virtual representation of UI that is synced with the "real" DOM. Virtual DOM finds the minimal set of changes needed to update the real DOM. This approach reduces the number of re-renders and improves efficiency. > You don't need to understand everything fully, but this gives you an idea of why React is popular ## 7. Async Await and Promises Normally, everything is synchronous when you code in Javascript, meaning the execution is line by line. ```js let message = "Hello World"; console.log(message); ``` > The first line of code is executed, declaring and initializing the message variable, and when it is done, the next line will print the message in the terminal or console. But sometimes, there is a need for non-synchronous activity. Fetching from API is a common example of this. Fetching data from API may not always be instantaneous. Factors involving your internet connection, the size of your request, and how far you are from the server come into play. ```js const picturesOfCats = fetch("https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=5") console.log(picturesOfCats); ``` > Also, that is a real API for getting data about cats :> Check out [The Cat API](https://thecatapi.com/). Not sponsored btw.  Here, we are fetching pictures of cats from an API and attempting to print those data. However, we will encounter something strange.  This is the result of `console.log(picturesOfCats);`. So what is this `Promise { <pending> }`? ### Promises Promises in JavaScript are objects used to deal with asynchronous operations. They represent a value that may be available now, in the future, or never. ```js const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const success = true; // Simulate success or failure if (success) { resolve("The operation was successful!"); // Call resolve if the operation is successful } else { reject("The operation failed."); // Call reject if the operation fails } }); ``` In this very simplistic example, we have a variable containing a promise. This `Promise` will take on a function with two arguments: resolve and reject. And inside the function, we can write logic to define this `Promise`. > If you are confused, that's okay. Most of the time, we will not create our own promises. We will just use promises that are returned and deal with them. `resolve` is a function we call if the promise is successful, while the `reject` is a function we call if the promise is unsuccessful. But how do we determine what `resolve` and `reject` are? ```js myPromise.then((result) => { console.log(result); // Handle the successful result }).catch((error) => { console.error(error); // Handle the error }); ``` We will use the `.then()` and `.catch()` for those. `.then()` is a function that will be called if we're resolved, and `.catch` is a function that will be called if we're rejected. If the promise is resolved, we will see `"The operation was successful!"` that came from the `result` variable that was passed from the `resolve()` and if not, we will see `"The operation failed."` that came from the `error` variable that was passed from the `reject()`. > When making API requests, we will only use `.then()` and `.catch()` most of the time, meaning when the request is made, `.then()` we will do something, and if there are errors in the request, then we are going to `.catch()` that errors. There is also a `finally` case where it will be called regardless of whether the promise is resolved or rejected. ```js myPromise.then((result) => { console.log(result); // Handle the successful result }).catch((error) => { console.error(error); // Handle the error }).finally(() => { console.log("Promise Finished") // Will be called regardless if resolve or reject }); ``` Returning to the code that results in `Promise { <pending> }`. Fetching data from API is asynchronous, but the program is synchronous, so the pending promise is getting printed because the fetch returns a `Promise` instead of the actual data. ### Fetching Data ```js const fetchCatPictures = () => { const picturesOfCats = fetch("https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=5") picturesOfCats .then(response => { return response.json() }) .then(data => { console.log(data); // log the data when the Promise resolves }) .catch(error => { console.error("Error fetching data:", error); // handle any errors }).finally(() => { console.log("This is the end of the request"); }); }; // Call the function fetchCatPictures(); ``` Here is an example of fetching data from an API. Here, if the promise is resolved successfully, it returns a `Response` object. This `Response` object represents the HTTP response from the server. To extract meaningful data from this response, we need to parse it using the `json()` method. ### Async + Await There is actually a different approach for fetching and waiting data, which uses `async` + `await`, which allows JavaScript to wait for asynchronous operations to complete sequentially. ```js const fetchCatPictures = async () => { try { const response = await fetch("https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=5"); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); // log the data when the Promise resolves } catch (error) { console.error("Error fetching data:", error); // handle any errors } finally { console.log("This is the end of the request"); } }; // Call the async function fetchCatPictures(); ``` In this code snippet, we convert the code that uses `.then()` with `async` + `await`. `async` is used to declare asynchronous functions which return promises. It also allows `await` keyword to be used inside that function. `await` is used to pause the execution of an `async ` function until a Promise is settled. > Basically, `async` is needed to use `await`. Also, `await` waits for the fetch to be done, then we can do something with the data after. To handle errors when fetching data, we use the `try-catch` block, and for the `.finally(),` we just replace it with `finally.` > In a `try-catch` block, we basically try some codes, and if there are errors, then those will be caught by the `catch`. Both `.then()` method chaining and `async` + `await` are fundamentally the same because `async` + `await` is syntactic sugar that simplifies working with promises. This syntax allows for a more synchronous style of writing asynchronous code, which enhances readability. Both approaches are equally valid for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript. ### Other Ways Of Fetching Data From API There are many ways to fetch data from an API. We can use the `fetch()` like the codes above or use Javascript libraries such as Axios. First, you need to install Axios if you haven't already. You can do this using npm or yarn: ```bash npm install axios ``` or with yarn: ```bash yarn add axios ``` > Make sure you add `"type": "module"` in your `package.json` or if you don't have one, you can put `.mjs` on your file instead of `.js`. ```js const axios = require("axios"); // Import Axios (use `import axios from "axios"` if using ES modules) const fetchCatPictures = async () => { try { const response = await axios.get("https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=5"); console.log("Data fetched successfully:", response.data); } catch (error) { console.error("Error fetching data:", error); } }; // Call the async function fetchCatPictures(); ``` > Note: The new way of importing in Javascript uses the `import` keyword, just like in my previous article. But the old way `require` can still be used. For more info, check out this [article](https://blog.logrocket.com/commonjs-vs-es-modules-node-js/). > Also, Axios offers numerous features, including direct access to the data property from the response, which is already parsed as a JSON object. This eliminates the need for manually invoking `.json()`, making data handling more convenient. ## 8. Optional Chaining The optional chaining `?.` operator prevents errors when trying to access properties or call methods on `null` or `undefined` values. If a reference is `null` or `undefined`, the expression will return `undefined` instead of throwing an error. When used with function calls, it returns `undefined` if the specified function does not exist. ```js const student = { name: "Mark", age: 19, address: { city: "Davao City", country: "Philippines" } } const studentSchool = student.school?.name; console.log(studentSchool); // Expected output: undefined console.log(student.someNonExistentMethod?.()); // Expected output: undefined ``` In this example, we are trying to get the values of nonexistent property and method, which will throw an error, but with the optional chaining `?.` operator, it will only result in an undefined value. In React or even plain Javascript, when fetching and dealing with data, sometimes your app can break when you are not specific with the data you are receiving or dealing with. Similarly above, if you are trying to access fields inside objects where those fields don't exist, your application will break. ```js const fetchData = async () => { const data = await fetch("exampleapi.com"); const name = data.student?.name } ``` Here, assuming we are fetching data from an imaginary API, and `student` property may or may not exist. We can prevent breaking our app by using optional chaining `?.` operator. This ensures safely accessing properties and calling methods on objects that may have nullish values. > The optional chaining `?.` operator also helps to simplify code because there is no need for verbose conditional checks (`if` statements or ternary `?` operators). ## 9. Template Literals Template literals are very useful, especially in React. They are string literals that allow embedded expressions and multiline strings. They are enclosed by backticks instead of single or double quotes, making creating complex strings with dynamic content easier. > It seems I cannot show backticks in this platform as backticks are reserved for markup, but they are usually located below the Esc Key. ```js const fetchData = async (animalName) => { const data = await fetch("exampleapi.com/searchitem=" + animalName); }; ``` In this simple code snippet, assuming that we can add a search term, we can do something like this where we concatenate the API link with the argument containing our desired `animalName` using `+` operator. The API can send back pictures of animals or, in this case, cats. ```js const fetchData = async (animalName) => { const data = await fetch(`exampleapi.com/searchitem=${animalName}`); }; ``` However, we can also use a template literal by replacing the quotes with backticks and adding `${}`. This makes it much more readable and easier to manage, especially when constructing complex strings with dynamic content. > Basically, you can now add Javascript inside your strings :> I hope you were able to grasp the concepts of both my articles. This article is a little bit shorter than the first, but it still contains important concepts for you to learn. With this, you will have an advantage when transitioning from Javascript to React. Before I conclude this article, I would like to show an inspiring quote from my references. > Sometimes, overpreparing will hold you down and prevent you from actually progressing. Just learn the essentials and don't delve too deep, as JavaScript and React are two separate coding experiences. Happy Coding! > I will probably delve into backend soon. Anyways, thanks for reading! --- References: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACaT1Gfhe6I

### Understanding Django Model Properties When working with Django, a powerful tool at your disposal is the ability to define properties on your models. These properties can be used to create computed attributes, allow more complex validations, or extend the functionality of your models without needing additional fields in the database. In Django models, properties can be used to add methods that act like attributes. Properties are often used when you want to include logic to get or set the value of a model attribute, rather than storing the value directly in the database. This approach can make your code cleaner and keep your model's responsibilities well-defined. In this article, we'll explore what properties are, how they can be used in Django models, and some practical examples to illustrate their power and utility. #### What Are Model Properties in Django? In Python, a property is a way to manage the access of instance attributes. By defining a property, you can create methods that can be accessed like attributes. This comes in handy when you want an attribute that is computed on-demand, instead of being stored directly in the database. In Django, properties are typically used to add extra functionality to your models without modifying the database schema. They can be read-only or have custom setters as needed. #### Defining a Property Let's start with a simple model example to see how properties are defined and used: ```python from django.db import models class Product(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) discount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=2, default=0) @property def discounted_price(self): """Compute discounted price dynamically.""" return self.price * (1 - self.discount/100) def __str__(self): return self.name ``` In this example: - We have a `Product` model with fields `name`, `price`, and `discount`. - We define a `discounted_price` property that computes the price after applying the discount. This `discounted_price` property is not stored in the database. Instead, it's computed dynamically when accessed. #### Using Properties Using properties in your Django application is straightforward. You can access them like any other attribute: ```python product = Product(name='Laptop', price=1000, discount=10) print(product.discounted_price) # Output will be 900.0 ``` Here, the `discounted_price` is computed only when accessed, based on the current values of `price` and `discount`. #### Read-Only Properties By default, properties can be read-only. If you attempt to set a value to a read-only property, Python will raise an `AttributeError`. ```python product.discounted_price = 850 # AttributeError: can't set attribute ``` #### Properties with Custom Getters and Setters While most properties are read-only, you can create properties with custom getter and setter methods. This allows you to control how attributes are set and retrieved. Here's an example: ```python class Product(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) _price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) # Note the underscore discount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=2, default=0) @property def price(self): return self._price @price.setter def price(self, value): if value < 0: raise ValueError("Price cannot be negative.") self._price = value @property def discounted_price(self): return self._price * (1 - self.discount/100) def __str__(self): return self.name ``` In this example: - The `_price` attribute is stored in the database. - The `price` property has a custom setter that validates the price before storing it. - The `discounted_price` remains a read-only property. This approach allows encapsulation and validation logic within the model, ensuring that only valid data is set. #### Practical Examples Here are a few practical examples where properties can be useful in Django models: 1. **Computed Fields**: When you need a value that's derived from other fields, such as `discounted_price` in the example above. 2. **Conditional Computations**: When a field should change dynamically based on certain conditions. 3. **String Representation**: Creating dynamic labels for display purposes. ### Conclusion Properties in Django models are a versatile and powerful feature that can help you create more dynamic and flexible applications. By using properties, you can: - Simplify your code by computing values on-demand. - Encapsulate complex logic within your models. - Maintain a clean and intuitive API for model instances. Understanding how to leverage properties effectively can significantly enhance your Django development experience, leading to more maintainable and scalable applications.

**Introduction** The Builder Pattern is a creational design pattern that allows you to construct complex objects by specifying their type and content. The Builder Pattern separates the construction of an object from its representation, enabling the same construction process to create different representations. **When to Use the Builder Pattern** - When an object needs to be constructed with many parameters or complex initialization processes. - When you want to build an immutable object that should be initialized with all required properties. - When you need different representations of an object, but the construction process remains the same. **Structure of the Builder Pattern** The Builder Pattern consists of four main components: - Product: The complex object that is being constructed. - Builder Interface: Defines all possible ways to build the product. - Concrete Builder: Implements the builder interface and constructs the product. - Director: Constructs the object using the Builder interface. **Implementation in C#** Let's dive into an example to understand how to implement the Builder Pattern in C#. **Step 1: Define the Product** The product is the complex object that we want to build. The product is the _Mentorship Program_ which links students to mentors.  **Step 2: Create the Builder Interface** The builder interface specifies the steps required to build the Mentorship Program.  **Step 3: Implement the Concrete Builder** The concrete builder implements the builder interface and provides specific implementations for each building step. ``` namespace BuilderPattern.Services.Implementations { public class MentorshipProgramBuilder : IMentorshipProgramBuilder { private MentorshipProgram _program; public MentorshipProgramBuilder() { _program = new MentorshipProgram(); } public void SetProgramName(string name) { _program.ProgramName = name; } public void SetDates(DateTime start, DateTime end) { _program.StartDate = start; _program.EndDate = end; } public void AddStudent(string student) { _program.Students.Add(student); } public void AddMentor(string mentor) { _program.Mentors.Add(mentor); } public void PairStudentWithMentor(string student, string mentor) { _program.StudentMentorPairs[student] = mentor; } public MentorshipProgram GetProgram() { return _program; } } } ``` **Step 4: Create the Director** The director class is responsible for constructing the object using the builder interface.  **Step 5: Putting It All Together** Here's how you can use the Builder Pattern to construct a Mentorship Program object.  **Benefits of the Builder Pattern** - Modularity: Each component of the MentorshipProgram is built in a modular way, allowing for clear separation of concerns. - Flexibility: New students or mentors can be added, and existing pairs can be modified without changing the overall construction logic. - Scalability: The pattern supports scalability by allowing complex setups to be managed easily, accommodating future expansion of the mentorship program. - Clearer Code: The code is more readable and easier to understand, especially when dealing with complex objects. - Reusability: The same construction process can create different representations of the product. By using the Builder Pattern, we can efficiently manage the construction of complex objects like a mentorship program, ensuring our code remains clean, maintainable, and scalable. **Conclusion** The Builder Pattern is a powerful tool in C# for constructing complex objects. By separating the construction process from the representation, it provides flexibility, clarity, and reusability in your code. Whether you are dealing with an object that requires many initialization parameters or different representations, the Builder Pattern is worth considering. Happy coding!

https://dev.to/satokenta/understanding-saml-and-sso-a-detailed-comparison-2953

sso

Navigating the landscape of enterprise security and identity management requires a deep understanding of both Single Sign-On (SSO) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). While intertwined, these two concepts serve distinct functions and are crucial for developing secure and efficient authentication systems. ## Understanding SSO Single Sign-On (SSO) streamlines the authentication process by allowing users to access multiple applications with a single set of login credentials. Instead of requiring separate logins for each application, users authenticate once and are then granted access to all authorized resources without needing to reauthenticate. ## Why Implement SSO? 1. **Enhanced User Experience:** Users only need to remember one set of login details, mitigating password fatigue and frustration. 1. **Boosted Productivity:** By reducing the time spent on logging into various applications, SSO contributes to improved productivity. 1. **Improved Security:** By diminishing the use of weak or repeated passwords, SSO enhances overall security. 1. **Simplified IT Management:** IT administrators can oversee access and permissions from a centralized point, simplifying the enforcement of security policies. 1. **Lower Help Desk Costs:** With fewer password-related issues, the cost burden on help desks reduces. Notably, **[Apidog](https://www.apidog.com/?utm_source=&utm_medium=blogger&utm_campaign=test1)** Enterprise supports SSO integration and is compatible with SAML 2.0 IdPs like Microsoft Entra ID, enhancing security with regular identity checks and direct work email logins. ## Unpacking SAML Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that facilitates the exchange of authentication and authorization data between identity providers (IdP) and service providers (SP). SAML ensures secure, seamless authentication by transmitting user information between these entities, enabling SSO functionality. ## SAML and SSO: Not Synonymous Although closely related, SAML and SSO are not identical: - **SSO**: A broad concept allowing users to access multiple applications via a single authentication event. - **SAML**: A specific protocol for implementing SSO, enabling authentication and authorization data exchange between an IdP and an SP. ## SSO vs. SAML Authentication: Key Distinctions While both SSO and SAML are integral to secure authentication, they serve unique roles and functions. ### Scope and Definition **SSO (Single Sign-On):** - **Broad Concept:** Enables users to log in once and access multiple applications without repeated logins. - **Objective:** Enhances user experience and bolsters security by minimizing login prompts and reducing password fatigue. - **Varied Implementation:** Can use multiple protocols such as OAuth and OpenID Connect, not limited to SAML. **SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language):** - **Defined Protocol:** An open standard framework for exchanging authentication and authorization data between IdPs and SPs. - **XML Format:** Utilizes XML to encode messages transferred between IdP and SP. - **Purpose:** Facilitates SSO by passing secure assertions about user identity and attributes. ### Functionality and Use Cases **SSO:** - **User Convenience:** Focuses on a seamless user experience by allowing access to multiple applications post a single login. - **Security Benefits:** Diminishes risk of password fatigue and enhances overall security. - **Examples:** Corporate environments where employees require access to various internal systems and cloud applications with one set of credentials. **SAML:** - **Standardized Communication:** Enables standardized authentication and authorization data exchange between IdP and SP. - **Interoperability:** Ensures compatibility across different systems and organizations using a common XML-based language. - **Examples:** Federated identity management scenarios requiring shared user credentials, such as between a university's central login and external educational services. ### Technical Differences **Authentication Flow:** **SSO:** - **General Flow:** Users authenticate once, receiving a token or session for accessing multiple applications. The flow varies with the chosen protocol (SAML, OAuth, etc.). - **Token Management:** Manages tokens or sessions centrally, maintaining user authentication state across services. **SAML:** - **Specific Flow:** Typically, a user attempts to access a service (SP), which redirects to the IdP for authentication. The IdP then sends a SAML assertion back to the SP, granting access based on this assertion. - **Assertions:** SAML assertions, formatted as XML, include statements about the user, such as authentication status and attributes. **Implementation Complexity:** **SSO:** - **Variable Complexity:** Depends on the chosen protocol and integration needs of the applications involved. - **Flexibility:** Adaptable to various use cases and environments. **SAML:** - **Protocol-Specific Complexity:** Involves setting up and configuring IdPs and SPs, managing digital certificates, and handling different bindings (HTTP-POST, HTTP-Redirect). - **Standardized but Rigid:** Although standardized, SAML can be more rigid compared to modern protocols like OAuth and OpenID Connect, which offer greater flexibility. ### Security Considerations **SSO:** - **Centralized Authentication:** Simplifies management and monitoring but can become a single point of failure if not properly secured. - **Consistent Security Policies:** Allows for enforcement of uniform security policies, like multi-factor authentication (MFA). **SAML:** - **Secure Communication:** Uses digital signatures and encryption for SAML assertions, ensuring secure data exchange between IdP and SP. - **Federated Security:** Ideal for scenarios extending across organizational domains, enabling robust identity and authentication sharing. ## Conclusion Understanding SSO and SAML is pivotal for designing robust security and identity management systems. SSO improves user experience by permitting access to multiple applications via a single login, while SAML facilitates this process through secure data exchange between IdP and SP. Together, these technologies enhance security, streamline access, and boost productivity, making them essential components of modern enterprise environments. By thoughtfully implementing SSO and SAML, organizations can significantly enhance both their security posture and operational efficiency.

Containerization has revolutionized the way applications are deployed and managed. However, as the number of containers grows, managing their resource usage becomes crucial to ensure efficient use of system resources and prevent performance degradation. This blog post delves into the technical aspects of resource management and limits for containers, focusing on the tools and techniques used to control CPU and memory usage. ## Understanding Resource Management Resource management in containerization involves controlling the allocation of CPU and memory resources to individual containers. This is essential to prevent resource starvation, ensure efficient use of system resources, and maintain overall system stability. ### CPU Limits CPU limits are used to restrict the number of CPUs a container can use. This is particularly useful in scenarios where multiple containers are running on the same host, and each container needs to be allocated a specific amount of CPU resources. For example, using Apptainer, you can set the number of CPUs a container can use with the `--cpus` flag: ```bash $ apptainer run --cpus 2 mycontainer.sif ``` This command limits the container to using two CPUs. ### Memory Limits Memory limits are used to restrict the amount of memory a container can use. This is crucial to prevent memory exhaustion and ensure that containers do not consume excessive memory resources. For example, using Apptainer, you can set a memory limit by creating a `cgroups.toml` file with the following configuration: ```toml [memory] limit = 524288000 ``` Then, you can apply this configuration when running the container: ```bash $ apptainer run --apply-cgroups path/to/cgroups.toml docker://alpine ``` This command limits the container to using 500MB of memory. ## Kubernetes Resource Management Kubernetes, a popular container orchestration tool, also provides mechanisms for resource management. In Kubernetes, resource requests and limits are used to control the allocation of CPU and memory resources to containers. ### Requests and Limits Requests specify the minimum amount of resources required by a container, while limits specify the maximum amount of resources a container can use. For example, you can set CPU and memory requests and limits in a Kubernetes pod configuration file: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: mypod spec: containers: - name: mycontainer image: myimage resources: requests: cpu: 1 memory: 256Mi limits: cpu: 2 memory: 512Mi ``` In this example, the container requests 1 CPU and 256MB of memory but is limited to using 2 CPUs and 512MB of memory. ### Importance of Resource Management Proper resource management is critical in containerized environments. Without it, containers can consume excessive resources, leading to performance degradation and even system crashes. By setting appropriate resource limits, you can ensure that containers use resources efficiently and do not compromise system stability. ## Conclusion In conclusion, resource management and limits are essential components of [containerization](https://platformengineers.io/services/containerization/). By understanding how to set CPU and memory limits using tools like Apptainer and Kubernetes, you can ensure efficient use of system resources and maintain overall system stability. This technical blog has provided a detailed overview of the technical aspects of resource management, highlighting the importance of proper resource allocation in containerized environments.

OpenID vs OAuth

To ensure the security of user information and allow third-party applications to access restricted...

https://api7.ai/blog/openid-vs-oauth

To ensure the security of user information and allow third-party applications to access restricted resources, two mainstream technologies have emerged: [OpenID Connect](https://docs.api7.ai/hub/openid-connect/) and [OAuth](https://api7.ai/blog/apisix-supports-oauth-and-oidc). While these two are often discussed together, they fundamentally differ in their functional positioning and core objectives. Specifically, OAuth is focused on building an authorization framework, its core purpose being to grant third-party applications permission to access specific resources, without directly involving the verification of the user's identity. In contrast, OpenID Connect is precisely positioned as an identity authentication service, filling the gap that OAuth has in the domain of identity recognition, and ensuring the authenticity and reliability of user identities. In this blog, we will delve into the essence, operating mechanisms, typical application scenarios, and the subtle yet intimate relationship between OpenID Connect and OAuth. ## What Is OpenID Connect? [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID#OpenID_Connect_(OIDC)) is an authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 framework, which extends the functionality of OAuth by introducing the concept of an ID token. OIDC not only allows users to authorize third-party applications to access their resources, but also provides verification of user identity information, enabling secure access to multiple services using a single login credential. Compared to OAuth 2.0, the core difference of OIDC is the addition of the authentication layer, while OAuth 2.0 primarily focuses on authorization, allowing users to control the access permissions of third-party applications to their resources, without involving the specific verification of user identity. **The OpenID Connect authentication process:** 1. Access the application: When a user wants to use an application or service, if the application needs to verify the user's identity, the user will be directed to the identity authentication service provider, OpenID Connect provider (OP) for login. 2. User login: The user enters their username and password (or undergoes other authentication mechanisms supported by the OP) on the OP's login interface. Once the user successfully logs in, the OpenID Connect provider will confirm the user's identity. 3. Issuance of ID token: After confirming the user's identity, the OpenID Connect provider will generate a special token called an ID token. This token contains the user's identity information, such as the username, email address, and other key data, ensuring the digital representation and transmission of the user's identity. 4. Use of ID token: After obtaining the ID token, the user can present it to the application they previously wanted to access. The application will then activate the verification mechanism to check the token and confirm that it is issued by a trusted OpenID Connect provider and that it has not expired. 5. Access the application: Once the application has verified the validity of the ID token, it will allow the user to access the protected resources or services. In this way, the user does not need to register and log in to each application separately but can use the ID token issued by the OpenID Connect provider. 6. Security assurance: OpenID Connect uses advanced JSON Web Token (JWT) technology to generate and verify the tokens, effectively mitigating the risks of data tampering and theft. In addition, OpenID Connect also flexibly supports multiple authentication and authorization modes, such as the authorization code mode, implicit mode, and hybrid mode, to adapt to the security requirements of different scenarios. ## What Is OAuth? In short, [OAuth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth) is a protocol that allows third-party applications to access user-stored sensitive resources (such as photo libraries, contact lists, etc.) on another service, without directly accessing the user's login credentials (username and password). This mechanism is more inclined towards "authorization" rather than "authentication". For example, if you want to use your Google account to log in to a news app, the app can use OAuth to request your public information (such as avatar, and nickname) from your Google account, without needing you to directly provide the Google account username and password to the news app. **The OAuth authorization process:** 1. User requests authorization: Suppose you are using a social application that wants to access information from your account on another social network. However, this information is protected, so authorization is required. 2. Redirect to the authorization server: The third-party application will redirect your request to a page on an authorization server, which will typically ask you to log in to the service you want to authorize. 3. User login and authorization: On the authorization server's page, you need to log in with your account. After logging in, the page will ask you whether you agree to let the third-party application access your information. 4. Authorization server issues access token: If you agree, the authorization server will generate a special "pass" called an access token. This token is like a temporary entry pass that allows the third-party application to access your information for a period of time. 5. The third-party application uses the access token: Once the third-party application has obtained the access token, it can use this token to request your information for a period of time. Each time it makes a request, it needs to present this token to prove that it has been authorized by you. 6. The authorization server verifies the token and returns the resource: When the third-party application presents the access token to the authorization server that stores your information, the authorization server will check whether the token is valid. If it is valid, it will allow the third-party application to access the corresponding information based on the token's permissions. By adopting the OAuth approach, not only is your account security greatly enhanced, as it eliminates the need to directly reveal your username and password to the third-party application, but it also provides a flexible authorization mechanism that allows you to independently decide which applications can access which of your information, thereby achieving precise control over the flow of your personal information. **The Differences and Connections between OpenID Connect and OAuth** The differences and connections between OpenID Connect and OAuth are particularly vivid in practical applications. Suppose there is an online pet website called "Pet Paradise", where customers can purchase pet supplies, and the pet store also provides a pet health tracking APP where customers can record their pet's health data, such as weight, diet, and vaccination status. **Application of OpenID Connect in this use case:** 1. Authentication: When customers first visit the "Pet Paradise" website or download and use the pet health tracking APP, they need to register and log in. To provide a convenient login experience, the pet store decides to use OpenID Connect to implement single sign-on (SSO). 2. ID Token: Customers can use their credentials from other services that support OpenID Connect (such as social media accounts) to log in. Once the login is successful, the OpenID Connect provider will issue an ID token to the customer. This token contains the customer's identity information and is encrypted and signed. 3. Cross-service Authentication: If the customer later visits other services of the pet store (e.g., from the website to the APP), they can directly use the previously obtained ID token for authentication, without having to re-enter the username and password. This allows the customer to switch seamlessly between different services. **Application of OAuth in this use case:** 1. Third-party Application Authorization: Suppose "Pet Paradise" wants to collaborate with a third-party application called "Pet Diary" and allow customers to synchronize their pet supply purchase records and pet health data from "Pet Paradise" to "Pet Diary". 2. Access Token: To achieve this functionality, "Pet Paradise" will use OAuth to authorize the "Pet Diary" application to access the customer's data. After the customer agrees to the authorization on the "Pet Paradise" website, an access token will be generated through the OAuth flow, which allows the "Pet Diary" application to access the customer's specific data on "Pet Paradise". 3. Protecting User Data: Through OAuth, the customer's login credentials (username and password) will not be directly exposed to the "Pet Diary" application but will be securely shared through the access token. This way, even if the "Pet Diary" application is attacked, the attacker cannot directly obtain the customer's login credentials. ## Summary In summary, the differences and associations between OAuth and OpenID Connect can be summarized as follows. 1. Basis and Extension: - OAuth is an authorization framework that allows third-party applications to obtain limited access permissions without using the user's username and password. - OpenID Connect, on the other hand, builds on the foundation of OAuth 2.0 and extends its functionality by adding an authentication layer. 2. Tokens and Authentication: - In OAuth, the main focus is on authorization, i.e., allowing applications to access the user's resources, while OpenID Connect is more focused on authentication, i.e., confirming the user's identity. - OpenID Connect introduces the concept of an ID token, which is a JSON Web Token (JWT) containing the user's identity information. This token not only proves the user's identity but can also include the user's personal profile information. 3. Collaboration: - When an application needs to verify the user's identity and access the user's resources, OpenID Connect and OAuth can work together. - The user first authenticates their identity through OpenID Connect, obtaining an ID token, and then the application can use this token and the OAuth flow to obtain permission to access the user's resources. In summary, OpenID Connect and OAuth are two complementary identity authentication and authorization protocols that together provide a secure, flexible, and user-friendly authentication and authorization solution for modern web and mobile applications.

In today's fast-paced world, technology increasingly plays a role in customer interactions. Businesses are turning to virtual receptionists to streamline operations and provide 24/7 availability. However, concerns arise about the potential loss of the human touch. This begs the question: can virtual receptionists enhance, rather than replace, personal interaction? ## The Myth of the Impersonal Machine: Virtual receptionists are not emotionless machines. They are highly skilled professionals trained to deliver professional and courteous service. They can personalize greetings, handle basic inquiries, and efficiently route calls to the appropriate person. This frees up your time for more in-depth interactions with clients who require your specific expertise. ## Benefits of Virtual Receptionists: ● Increased Availability: Virtual receptionists offer 24/7 coverage, ensuring callers always reach a friendly voice, even outside of regular business hours. This enhances customer experience and prevents missed opportunities. ● Improved Efficiency: Virtual receptionists handle routine tasks like scheduling appointments, collecting basic information, and directing calls appropriately. This allows you to focus on more strategic activities like closing deals and building client relationships. ● Reduced Costs: Outsourcing reception services is often more cost-effective than hiring a full-time employee. This frees up resources you can reinvest in areas such as personalized marketing initiatives or additional training for yourself and your team. ## The Power of Human Connection: While virtual receptionists play a vital role, they cannot replace the importance of direct human interaction. Here's how virtual receptionists can actually encourage personal contact: ● Qualifying Leads: Virtual receptionists can gather essential information from callers before transferring them, ensuring you connect with highly qualified leads. This allows you to personalize your interactions and target your communication more effectively. ● Building Rapport: By taking care of administrative tasks, virtual receptionists free you up to engage in warm handoffs. This allows you to personally greet important callers and establish a positive rapport from the start. ● Focus on Client Needs: Virtual receptionists manage scheduling and logistics, allowing you to focus on in-depth conversations with clients. This dedication to their specific needs strengthens relationships and builds long-term loyalty. ## The Best of Both Worlds: The ideal scenario is a synergy between virtual receptionists and personal interaction. Virtual receptionists handle routine tasks, freeing you up to connect with clients on a deeper level. This allows you to personalize your service, build trust, and foster meaningful relationships. ## Finding the Best Virtual Receptionist Service When choosing a virtual receptionist service, prioritize companies that understand the importance of personalized service. Look for features like: ● Customization Options: Choose a service that offers personalized greeting messages to your customers and potential leads. ● Detailed Call Logs: Access to detailed call logs allows you to identify potential clients who might benefit from a more personalized interaction. ● Human Interaction Integration: Some services allow easy scaling of virtual representatives to match business fluctuations and requirements seamlessly. Choosing such providers ensures flexibility, efficiency, and consistent customer support tailored to your needs. ## Conclusion: In the digital age, virtual receptionists are not a replacement for personal interaction. They are a valuable tool for enhancing your efficiency and freeing you up to connect with clients on a deeper level. By leveraging the power of technology alongside genuine human interaction, you can build stronger relationships, improve customer service, and propel your business toward success. When you partner with the **[best virtual receptionist service](https://www.withtempo.com/services/virtual-assistant)**, you'll gain a reliable and efficient partner that allows you to prioritize meaningful personal interactions with your clients. This winning combination of technology and human connection is the key to unlocking unparalleled customer experiences and propelling your business to new heights.

Optimizing customer support with screen recording

devops, productivity, learning, career

I'm not the biggest fan of the current customer support format. The customer support calls are okay because you communicate directly with the operative. The written support, however, is as frustrating as it gets. Additionally, the disconnect in understanding between you and the operator makes me want to rename it to customer frustration. We have implemented a system in my business that improves the best aspects of caller support and eliminates text-based support's frustrations. We do this using screen recording software. Here's how it has improved our customer support services. ## Replicating and Documenting Technical issues We like to see it before we believe it. That's an inside joke we share with our team. We like seeing the errors and technical issues our customers send. We replicate them on our end to understand what the root cause is. We use [VideoFeedbackr,](https://videofeedbackr.com/) our screen recording software, to facilitate this. A recent example was a tagging error experienced by a client using Goleko. Our developer team listened to the complaints and replicated the issue to understand why the error kept recurring. This replication was recorded hassle-free. My developers then got to the root cause, fixed it, and tested it. They did this while continually recording their screens. We've recorded videos from this and other interactions stored in our vault. We've documented and kept them for quick and easy reference for similar issues. We have used them to improve customer education, which I explain in the next section. ## Demonstration of solutions with screen recordings It's not enough for us to address the issue. We make it a point to inform our customers about what caused the problem and how we fixed it. We also use VideoFeedbackr to facilitate this. We record a video explaining everything that went wrong, how we fixed it, and some actions our customers can take to perform self-correction. A good example occurred when we updated the version of [Goleko.](https://goleko.com/) Some of our customers found their applications stagnant and choppy. It is a far cry from what they are accustomed to as they couldn't manage their projects better. We tested the new version. It was a significant improvement to the previous version. The problem was a disconnect between the versions. We recorded a video showing how to get the new version and eliminate the stagnant and choppy older version. The video had two steps. A greeting and a fix. The fix was a simple CTRL+F5 button press for a hard refresh. You can imagine the look on our customers' faces. We have recorded more such videos and have them available for numerous issues. They provide enough information to our customers on how to fix these issues, which is the intent behind customer support. It has improved our overall efficiency and customer satisfaction. The feedback and response to this addition are positive. It has gone a long way to endear them to us. You can take a proactive approach to dealing with your customers. I have written a piece that can help you get started. Read: *[Developing Content for Every Stage of the Customer Journey](https://martinbaun.com/blog/posts/developing-content-for-every-stage-of-the-customer-journey/)* ## Building a Knowledge Base of Troubleshooting resources It is a welcome unintended positive. We have built a knowledge base that ensures everyone in the team operates at optimal capacity. Our SOPs guide how we operate within the team. We share this as project on Goleko that I invite everyone to. I conveniently named it 'How We Do Stuff' which is quite self-explanatory. The SOPs within were initially in written text. They worked okay for a while but the difference in interpretation and their wording meant some variation was inevitable. I used VideoFeedbackr to record videos specific to each SOP. The videos contain all the information and knowledge everyone needs to understand their roles, how to use our resources, and how to work in our team. It is a valuable knowledge base that has eliminated any confusion and variation in our team. My virtual assistant was the first new hire to find this system. She had access to the written text and the accompanying videos. She fits in seamlessly and is producing as expected. Everyone has access to this knowledge base and uses it to perform their tasks to the best of their ability. We have delivered good and quality services to our customers as a result. Our primary goal in customer support is excellent service delivery. Fixing issues is something secondary to us. If the products or services are amazing, then there won't be a problem to handle. I've attached an educative article on our onboarding process for those interested. Read: *[Onboarding and Training New Remote Employees in a Virtual Environment](https://martinbaun.com/blog/posts/onboarding-and-training-new-remote-employees-in-a-virtual-environment/)* ## Remote assistance and collaborative support It is an internal benefit we've enjoyed in our team. We use VideoFeedbackr to give feedback on our projects and tasks. Some are handled by multiple people. A good example is our content team. Our writer and virtual assistant regularly collaborate on various projects. Our writer makes the content, and our virtual assistant distributes it. She knows what works well for socials, and our writer knows how to write quality and educative articles. They use VideoFeedbackr to enhance their communication on the tasks they do. They have worked well to find a good balance between good content for our audience and the social channels. I give feedback to them, and offer the same to me as well. These changes have helped us elevate our team's standing on Google and the online sphere. How does this internal advantage help our customers? Customer service isn't exclusive to solving problems. Giving quality service to your customers is an actionable form of customer support. We've used the videos we've made to collaborate remotely, assess our deficiencies, and optimize our operations. We've realized the optimization of our team procedures. The services we offer are now at the quality we desire, and it's thanks to the constant evaluation and improvement we've done. VideoFeedbackr has facilitated this collaborative support. Good customer support and service are the byproducts. You can enjoy good service from our wonderful in-house testers. Get your software properly tested to iron out every kink. [You Build, We Test.](https://testinghelper.com/) You can also learn why we take quality assurance seriously in our team. Read: *[Why Quality Assurance is Essential](https://martinbaun.com/blog/posts/why-quality-assurance-is-essential/)* ----- ## FAQs ### How can VideoFeedbackr change the customer support service?

Every video you record using VideoFeedbackr in any of these stages helps you build your knowledge base of troubleshooting resources. Just remember to sort them out in their correct sections. ### How can we use VideoFeedbackr to demonstrate solutions? You can use VideoFeedbackr to record solutions to errors raised by clients.
