stp2y0 CommentsNewsapitesting, automateddocumentation, coding, community, debugging, development, echoapi, engineering, inclusive, software

In the vast and intricate web of modern development, URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) aren't just simple web addresses—they're like the postal addresses of the internet, guiding data to its destination. But URLs can't just be a jumble of any characters. They follow strict rules to ensure that nothing goes awry. When certain characters get in the way, that's where URL encoding steps in as our unsung hero. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on common encoded symbols like %3A, %2F, and %23, and exploring why they're crucial for smooth, secure, and functional URLs. What is URL Encoding? Imagine you're trying…

Mastering ENUMs in Go

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, enum, go, inclusive, readability, software

Often, within the systems we develop, we encounter constant values. One example of these values could be the representation of a registration status. In this case, consider a status that includes more variations beyond active and inactive. If these statuses are defined as strings, their validation within the system could become a major headache. Additionally, this approach might “inflate” the binary, as each validation would involve two strings (the expected value and the value being validated). To avoid these problems, we can use the well-known enum type. If you’re unfamiliar with this type, it is essentially a fixed or limited-size…

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

1. Importância da reutilização de exceções padrão Exceções padrão tornam o código mais fácil de entender e familiar para outros programadores. Melhoram a leitura e o aprendizado da API. Reduzem o consumo de memória e o tempo de carregamento de classes. 2. Exceções padrão mais reutilizadas e seus usos típicos IllegalArgumentException: Usada quando um parâmetro possui um valor inadequado. Exemplo: public void setRepeatCount(int count) { if (count < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Count cannot be negative"); } this.count = count; } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode IllegalStateException: Lançada quando o estado do objeto não permite a operação. Exemplo: public…

Cherry-Picking in Git: A Solution for Pull Request Discrepancies

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, git, github, inclusive, learning, software, softwaredevelopment

In the world of professional software development, teams rely on Git to manage their version control systems. However, not all processes go smoothly. At times, discrepancies arise between pull requests and the remote branch, leading to situations where merging the branch into production is not feasible. This is where cherry-picking comes to the rescue. This article explores cherry-picking, its significance, real-life scenarios that warrant its use, and the commands and steps to implement it effectively. What is Cherry-Picking? Cherry-picking in Git refers to the process of selecting specific commits from one branch and applying them to another branch. Unlike merging…

Have you ever wondered how WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) lets developers use a Linux-like environment right on Windows? It's quite intriguing! It provides a simple way to set up Laravel, PHP, Python, Node.js, Vue.js, React.js, and many more for development. Let's explore how to get started quickly. Step 1: Enable Virtualization in BIOS Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, Delete, or Esc during boot). Look for an option like Intel Virtualization Technology, AMD-V, or SVM Mode under the processor or advanced settings. Enable the option and save changes. Restart your system. Check…

Understanding WeakRefs and FinalizationRegistry in JavaScript

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, node, programming, software, webdev

JavaScript has continuously evolved, and advanced features like WeakRef and FinalizationRegistry offer developers a granular level of control over memory management. These tools empower developers to create efficient applications while managing memory and resources in sophisticated ways. Let’s explore these constructs deeply, analyze their mechanics, and discuss their applications, limitations, and best practices. Memory Management in JavaScript: A Primer Before going into WeakRef and FinalizationRegistry, understanding JavaScript’s garbage collection mechanism is essential. The garbage collector automatically identifies and removes unused memory to optimize performance. However, this automated process has limitations, especially for scenarios requiring explicit or fine-grained memory management. Challenges…

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

Question: in order to let "DataLoader' from torch.utils.data capable, how should I customize a dataset on my own data? Answer: basically, given a list of Paris of images and text, assigning len and get item method, then the customized dataset can be applied to DataLoader method ? is there any requirement else? Claude responds,You've captured the core concept perfectly! Let me elaborate on the key requirements and nuances of creating a custom PyTorch Dataset: `class MyCustomDataset(torch.utils.data.Dataset):def init(self, data):self.data = data # List of image-text pairs def __len__(self): return len(self.data) # Total number of samples def __getitem__(self, idx): # Return one…

My React Journey: Day 3

stp2y0 CommentsNewscode, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, mobile, reactnative, software

Today, I explored one of the most essential concepts in programming: Functions. Functions are a game-changer because they make code reusable, reducing the need for repetition. Let me break down what I learned: What is a Function? A function is a block of reusable code designed to perform a specific task. It has two main aspects: Declaration: This is where you create or define the function. function greet(name) { return `Hello, ${name}`; } Invocation: This is where you call the function to execute it. console.log(greet('Ayoola')); // Output: Hello, Ayoola Parameters vs. Arguments Parameters : Variables used when defining a function.…
