Enhancing Rust Enums in the State Pattern

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, designpatterns, development, engineering, inclusive, learning, rust, software

In my previous article, I discussed how Rust enums should be strongly considered when the solution benefits from a state machine. The strongest argument for this is the fact that the Rust compiler will inform you when a state variant isn't covered in a match expression. This was stemmed from a state pattern example provided by the official Rust book. The sample scenario they used was an article that was required to go through the status of Draft, PendingReview, and Approved. Using a similar strategy as I explained in my original article, I came up with the following code: post.rs…

How Deep Learning Works

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, coding, community, deeplearning, development, engineering, inclusive, machinelearning, neuralnetworks, software

Deep Learning is the core of a Machine Learning system, it is how a machine actually learns from data without much human intervention. In this post I am going to discuss how Deep Learning actually works with the data you give. The basis of a Deep Learning system are Neural Networks, they are the fundamental part of how a machine learns by itself. To understand how a Neural Network learns you need to understand how a Neural Network is structured. There are mainly 3 (or more) layers in the neural network1. Input Layer: Where the data to the network is…

This walkthrough will showcase a creative approach to gaining root access on a machine. We'll utilize an unexpected vulnerability within the zip command to escalate privileges. After successfully setting up your dev machine, use the following details to login to the machine. Username: rootPassword: tcm Now we need to get the IP address of the academy machine, to get that input the command: dhclient Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode after that input the command: ip a Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode From the above image, my IP address for academy is 192.168.59.135 Now we can ping the machine…

Best Time to Refactor: Tips for Refactoring a Legacy Code Base

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

As software engineers, we all know that refactoring is important for maintaining and improving code quality. However, its very common being lazy. Imagine a scenario where, during a code review, someone identifies a code smell and suggests some changes. You might respond by saying there's no time for that now and that we'll add it to our technical debt backlog. Or perhaps you leave a few TODO comments instead of taking the time to write clean code. It’ll get done eventually, right?No! In reality, these tasks rarely get completed once they’re consigned to the limbo of “to be done later.”…

Front end in 7 days?

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, programming, software, webdev

As a cybersecurity major who has only ever done Python, building websites has always remained a wish. I have heard some say building websites is a piece of cake but others said web development is so complex, that you might start learning something else. Either way, I believe the best thing is to figure it out myself. So, I am doing the 7-day challenge to learn anything ( credits to the Pareto Principle - Work expands to fill time). Through these 7 days, I will be learning HTML, CSS, JS, and React. And to gauge my progress, I will make…
