stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, performance, software

Progresivno renderovanje je skup tehnika koje se koriste za poboljšanje performansi web stranice, posebno u smislu brzine prikaza sadržaja korisnicima. Delovi stranice se prikazuju i učitavaju postepeno, umesto da se cela stranica učitava odjednom. Cilj je da se sadržaj što pre prikaže, čime se poboljšava perceptivno vreme učitavanja – vreme tokom kog korisnik doživljava da se stranica učitava. Prednosti progresivnog renderovanja Brže vreme prikaza - Korisnici brže vide prvi sadržaj, što poboljšava korisničko iskustvo, posebno na sporijim mrežama. Optimizacija za slabije uređaje - Manje moćni uređaji mogu lakše prikazati inicijalni sadržaj bez zastoja. SEO koristi - Pretraživači indeksiraju inicijalno učitane…

In November 2024, a report on Google Chrome extensions indicated that the Manifest V3 update, intended to boost security, has yet to fully protect users from data theft and malware. Google introduced Manifest V3 to limit extensions' access to sensitive data and block harmful scripts, but it appears that V3 has not been entirely effective in countering these security threats. Malicious actors continue to exploit Chrome extensions, as many users install extensions without scrutinizing permissions or verifying sources​​Despite the improvements V3 offers, some harmful extensions bypass the security restrictions, accessing private user data or distributing malware. This ongoing issue underscores…

Understanding CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA in Networking

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbasic, coding, community, development, devops, engineering, inclusive, learning, networking, software

In networking, efficient and fair use of shared communication channels is critical to minimizing data collisions and maximizing network performance. Two foundational protocols that manage network access in this context are Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). These protocols are essential to network performance, particularly in Ethernet (for CSMA/CD) and wireless (for CSMA/CA) environments. Let’s dive into the details of how each protocol works, where it’s used, and its significance in network management. What is CSMA? Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) is the overarching method that allows devices on…

Here is my LLM API Adapter SDK for Python that allows you to easily switch between different LLM APIs. At the moment, it supports: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. And only the chat function (for now). It simplifies integration and debugging as it has standardized error classes across all supported LLMs. It also manages request parameters like temperature, max tokens, and other settings for better control. To use the adapter, you need to download the library and obtain API keys for the LLMs you want. In the code, I demonstrated how easy it is to use it. from llm_api_adapter.messages.chat_message import AIMessage,…

Adding Revision Support to Entities in Entity Framework Core

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, csharp, development, dotnet, efcore, engineering, entityframeworkcore, inclusive, software

Introduction As applications evolve, the need to track historical data or version control often arises. In this article, we’ll refactor an existing entity to support revisions using Entity Framework Core, allowing us to maintain a history of changes without duplicating the data model or introducing unnecessary complexity. We’ll walk through a step-by-step approach to transition a simple Document entity into a revisioned model. This method uses a discriminator to track multiple versions of the same document, with all revisions stored in the same database table. This approach is both flexible and scalable, making it easy to apply to other entities…
