JWT at a Glance

JWT at a Glance

Many of us heard about JWT and while JWT has become a buzzword in tech circles, it's frequently misunderstood or confused with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC, particularly among those who use it without fully grasping its intricacies.

Hermes: Decentralized Perpetual Exchange on Stellar

Hermes: Decentralized Perpetual Exchange on Stellar

This is a submission for the Build Better on Stellar: Smart Contract Challenge : Build a dApp What We Built Hermes is a decentralized perpetual exchange built on the Stellar blockchain, designed to offer traders the ability to trade with up to 100x leverage. See it in action in our demo The platform draws heavy inspiration from Jupiter on Solana—not by copying its code, as Jupiter is not open-sourced, but rather by emulating its system architecture and trading mechanics. Our perpetual exchange operates on an LP-to-trader model, leveraging liquidity pools and oracles to offer up to 100x leverage. This structure…

IL

Assalamu Alaikum, dear programmers, today we will talk briefly about IL<<(Intermediate Language). IL<<(Intermediate Language). IL << (Intermediate Language) is an intermediate language in .NET, also known as MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) or CIL (Common Intermediate Language). Source code in languages ​​like C# or VB.NET is compiled primarily into IL, not directly into machine code, making it platform independent. version can run on any platform. This allows developers to write code once and run it on a variety of operating systems and processor architectures. JIT Compilation: When a program is run, IL is converted to machine code using a JIT compiler…

How to Solve Big Problems: Insights from “Sprint”

How to Solve Big Problems: Insights from “Sprint”

To tackle big challenges effectively, the book "Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days" by Jake Knapp offers a structured framework that emphasizes rapid innovation and problem-solving. The key to this method is the design sprint, which allows teams to move quickly from a problem statement to a prototype ready for user testing. Step 1: Define the Problem The sprint process commences with a clear definition of the problem at hand. Teams should gather and align their understanding of the challenge, setting a long-term goal and breaking the challenge down into manageable components.…

Mastering Docker: A Beginner’s Guide to Containerization

Why Containerisation? Everyone has a different operating system steps to run a project can vary based on the operating system Extremely harder to keep track of dependencies as a project grows What if there was a way to describe your project's configuration in a single file What if that could be run in an isolated environment Makes local setup of OS projects a breeze Makes installing auxiliary services very simple Definition Containerization involves building self-sufficient software packages that perform consistently, regardless of the machines they run on.It's taking the snapshot of a machine, the filesystem, and letting you use and…

Do You Need All That Support Levels After All?

Do You Need All That Support Levels After All?

In the intricate world of IT support, the structure of support levels—spanning from Level 0 to Level 4—seems to cover all bases. But the question remains: is this multilayered approach necessary, or could a more streamlined model serve your business better? By creatively mixing support levels, you can achieve a leaner, more efficient support structure, shedding all of the weights, that drives innovation rather than stifling it. Understanding the Support Levels To appreciate the potential of mixing support levels, let’s first clarify what each level entails: Level 0 (Self-Help): Users resolve their issues independently using automated resources like FAQs, blogs,…

Buy Me a Coffee☕ *Memos: HuberLoss() can get the 0D or more D tensor of the zero or more values(float) computed by Huber Loss from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below: *Memos: The 1st argument for initialization is reduction(Optional-Default:'mean'-Type:str). *'none', 'mean' or 'sum' can be selected. The 2nd argument for initialization is delta(Optional-Default:1.0-Type:float). *It must be 0<delta. The 1st argument is input(Required-Type:tensor of float). The 2nd argument is target(Required-Type:tensor of float). input and target should be the same size otherwise there is a warning. The empty 1D or more D input and…
