Moving at the Speed of Innovation: dry.io

Think fast. I don’t mean fast like a trip on a Japanese JR-Maglev bullet train or the dive of a Perigrine Falcon. Nor do I mean fast like the 30 minutes it took for Pebble Watch to raise $1 million on Kickstarter. Think faster. Think about the speed of innovation in today’s world. Think about how many startups are formulated within the minds of new computer science majors at the dorms of Cal. Think about apps being designed at the seemingly infinite amount of techie-targeted cafes in Silicon Valley. There will never be a lack of ideas in our technology dominated world. The puzzle lies in #development and execution of these ideas. How can software development keep up with the speed of innovation?Let’s consider Uber. Its democratization of a heavily regulated industry in ridesharing helped (...)
Let’s Make Our Bundle Size Even Smaller

If you ever developed a SPA (Single-Page-Application), where ever it was on Angular, #react, Vue or something else, You probably noticed that all the hard work you’ve put into your app goes to one minified .js file and one .css file. Those files contain all your dependencies and functionalities of the app.sometimes, those files could become quite big and increase the loading time of your app this something I stumbled upon during my work.With #webpack for example, the files are made after “Tree-shaking “ and Uglify.Tree-shaking is the process of removing all the unused function and variables from the code, which makes our app a lot smaller (basically we only use a small part of our dependencies and a large part of the code isn’t even being called).Uglify (as it sounds like) is the process of (...)

Graph Theory — Graph Data Structures and Traversal Algorithms Made Easy
▻https://hackernoon.com/graph-theory-graph-data-structures-and-traversal-algorithms-made-easy-28
Graph TheoryGraph Data Structures and Traversal Algorithms Made EasyThe graphs in computer software are a little different from the bar graphs in high school. Sure, they are still a mapping of relations just represented differently. Graphs can actually help solve a really large number of problems. They can be used to solve problems in social networking, eg. finding relations between friends or friends of friends or in GPS navigation, finding an optimal route from your house to the nearest shopping center. Graphs are used regularly in robotics and AI, for example, sometimes for maintaining all the possible states a robot is allowed to be in (so they don’t break stuff or move through walls). They’re great for scheduling problems, like when to schedule traffic flow (which can be solved with (...)

The Coder’s Axiom
▻https://hackernoon.com/the-coders-axiom-7881e88d495d?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3---4
What if there was a way to remove opinions and personal preferences from the equation and unambiguously determine what code is better given two competing solutions?The only thing that developers have to agree upon is the axiom itself. With unanimity reached on this single point, mountains of subjective discussions suddenly become irrelevant and valuable time is reclaimed.Deference to unwanted authority is unnecessary as we make progress to a decentralized world.A handrail becomes available for developers to help them make countless decisions throughout their days. The haunting feeling of uncertainty is replaced with welcomed confidence.I came up with this idea about 5 years ago and it has withstood intense scrutiny from developers and architects at various companies since then. I (...)

Alex has dedicated more of his time to create an article where he is giving an introduction to what ZK-SNARKs are. We encourage you to have a read and leave a comment if you find it useful.For the past months, I’ve been immersed daily in a thrilling and cutting-edge world: that of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. It is a challenging field, and because of that, one I explore with great enjoyment.Today, I will talk a bit more about this quest of mine. The end goal is to implement a practical prototype that Artos (my employer) can use in their ticketing solutions for the Aventus protocol. I am not concerned with the final usage, for now, only with the ZK technology itself: what it is, what we can do with it and some of the tools available out there.Zero-Knowledge ProofsIn my experience, people (...)

Automate Your Workflow with #git Hooks
▻https://hackernoon.com/automate-your-workflow-with-git-hooks-fef5d9b2a58c?source=rss----3a8144e
Git hooks are one of the most underrated git features, and have the potential to increase your productivity as a developer. Have you ever wanted to run a command every time you commit or push? Lucky for you, that’s exactly what git hooks do — they’re custom scripts that run before or after git commands to automate manual tasks. Read on to find out how hooks could improve your workflow.Why use git hooks?I came to learn about hooks after embarking on a quest to automate my own workflow. You see, for better or worse, I make use of FIXME: comments in my code to remind myself to revisit something. My usual process involved doing a global search for “FIXME:” before committing, however I’m sure you can already see plenty of room for human error.Hooks came to my rescue. I was able to create a simple (...)

Is there anything more fascinating than creating something with your own hands? Watching your creation come to life slowly and slowly? We humans, above everything else, are creators.But in this digital age, the way we create has changed. Most of us now create digitally. We create software and websites to do our bidding. Though our creations may no longer depend on our creativity, we can still get the same high #coding that a potter gets while moulding a vase.The modern programming world has expanded widely giving us a wide choice of options to chose from.

#mpi workloads performance on #mapr Data Platform Part 2 — Matrix Multiplication
▻https://hackernoon.com/mpi-workloads-performance-on-mapr-data-platform-part-2-matrix-multiplica
MPI workloads performance on MapR Data Platform Part 2 — Matrix MultiplicationIn the first part of this series, we showed how we can use MPI on top of the MapR Data Platform to successfully find prime numbers within a rather large range. Also, we compare our Sieve of Eratosthenes implementation in MPI and the same algorithm in #spark just to discover how they both behave while looking at some interesting implementation details.In the second part of the series, we are going to implement Matrix Multiplication in both, MPI and Apache Spark. Again, we will look at how each implementation behaves when running on MapR. However, our MPI implementation will be based on Cannon Algorithm while in Spark we will use the MLlib BlockMatrix functions for multiplying matrices.Cannon AlgorithmThere is (...)
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) Demystified
▻https://hackernoon.com/json-web-tokens-jwt-demystified-f7e202249640?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3-
JSON Web Token (JWT, often pronounced “jot”) is a powerful tool for confidently transmitting data between two parties through tokens. These parties can consist of users, servers, or any other combination of services. Based on an open standard (RFC-7519), JWTs are digitally signed with an encryption algorithm, so the receiving party can trust the information contained within. In computer #security this concept is known as Data Integrity.One main benefit of using a #jwt is that it’s very compact (assuming the issuer uses JWS Compact Serialization, which is recommended). They are generally small enough to be sent through a POST request, in an HTTP Header, or even as a query string within a URL. However, the more claims you add to a JWT, the more bloated it becomes. You could theoretically (...)

Do you dedicate your first working hour to code, or do you waste it reviewing your to-do list and responding to Slack messages?I often find that the longer it takes me to get to my most important tasks for the day, the less I accomplish by the end of the day.One of my favorite blog posts is “Fire and Motion” — an open admission by Joel Spolsky about days where he felt unproductive as a programmer. In his blog post, Spolsky writes:Once you get into flow it’s not too hard to keep going. Many of my days go like this: (1) get into work (2) check email, read the web, etc. (3) decide that I might as well have lunch before getting to work (4) get back from lunch (5) check email, read the web, etc. (6) finally decide that I’ve got to get started (7) check email, read the web, etc. (8) decide again (...)

Demystifying Registers
▻https://hackernoon.com/demystifying-registers-23dea1e83702?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3---4
Let’s go under the hood and learn about registers.Registers are internal memory storage locations the processor utilizes to more efficiently process data. If not for registers, the processor would be forced to interact with the control bus anytime it wanted to read or write data from memory.Registers are similar to variables, except there are a fixed number of registers on any given architecture. Registers store data elements for processing without having to dive deep and access the memory. More specifically, each register is a special location in the CPU where a single piece of data is stored. Often, registers hold pointers which reference other locations in memory — and movement of values between registers is very common. There are ten different registers in the 32-bit IA-32 (...)

Have you seen Marie Kondo’s new Netflix show, Tidying Up? I have, and I love it.I work as a software developer consultant at Stride. My job is to go into companies, join their engineering teams, and help them build better software and processes. So what could Marie Kondo, organization consultant, have to teach me?There is a moment in the show when Marie is helping a family clean up their kitchen cabinets. She pulls out a silver cup. The wife explains that it is an engraved sippy cup given to the husband by his godmother. The wife says, “We asked him, ‘Will you drink out of it?’, and he’s like ‘Yes! Yes!’ and we’re (the rest of the family) like rolls eyes”.How does Marie respond? Does she roll her eyes or pinch her lips together in a sarcastic smile? No!

Organizing Your #react + #redux Application’s Codebase for Future Maintainability and Extensibility

As the scope, size, and feature set of your React + Redux application grows, so does the pain of maintaining it, especially when you’re working with a big team, and multiple people work on each feature in your application. In this article, we are going to be exploring how to organize your codebase, to increase maintainability and extensibility.When you first start writing a new React application, the feature set is small, and the React API is simple, yet flexible and powerful enough to handle state management. Eventually however, your application grows bigger, and the shortcomings of React’s setState at handling state management for larger applications become obvious, in a painful manner.So you do a bit of research and figure out Redux is your best bet at handling the growing state (...)
