In 2016, David Sax wrote a book called The Revenge of Analog, which made the case that even as we marched towards an ever more digital future, we were increasingly returning to real, tangible things — choosing vinyl records over streaming, brick and mortar bookstores over Amazon, and in-person conversations over Skype. In the intervening […]

A tutorial for getting on Mastodon

Developer Tools for ActivityPub

Like many in the past week, I have been having a serious look at Mastodon as an alternative to Twitter.

Discuss this post With Mastodon being all the rage right now and people massively moving over, new opportunities arise. One of these is that Mastodon allows you to take ownership of your identity using the WebFinger protocol. This way you can have an identitiy like [email protected] without actually having to host your own Mastodon server (or instance in Mastodon lingo). Maarten Balliauw has already posted on how to achieve this but with a little caveat:

Translate `user@domain` mentions to actor profile URIs.

Creating a full-fledged API requires resources, both time and money. You need to think about the model, the design, the REST principles, etc., without writing a single line of code. Most of the time, you don’t know whether it’s worth it: you’d like to offer a Minimum Viable Product and iterate from there. I want to show how you can achieve it without writing a single line of code. The solution The main requirement of the solution is to use the PostgreSQL database. It’s

Multi Computing With Python

This is a problem that comes up every year or two, but no one has implemented a useful solution yet. Advertising is a surprisingly bad way for a culture to pay for content, because the kind of cont…

Modern and secure platform to manage a decentralized identity based on cryptographic keys

For “extract/transform/load,” are you transforming your application’s data for the purposes of your applications or the requirements of your database?

A better developer experience demands a paved path, tying together standardized tools you need and unique solutions to meet productivity and business goals.

Implement and enforce best practices in authentication, authorization, validation and sanitization of modern API requests and responses. Plus, centralized API audit trails and ensure governance and compliance.

BI WORLDWIDE Corporate Product Development Team removed technology barriers to focus on building microservices

By reducing complexity, we can reduce the number of bugs and defects, along with its lifetime cost. Yet, what exactly is complex code?

Understand what complexity in code really is, its business impacts, and how to improve code quality using metrics like code complexity.

Extension for Visual Studio Code - Create code complexity (Cyclomatic complexity, Lines Of Code, Parameter Count, etc.) report for the activated code file.

Learn about the cyclomatic complexity metric for code metrics in Visual Studio.

How to reduce cyclomatic complexity? In this post, you'll learn not only that, but also what is this metric and why you should reduce it.

Cyclomatic complexity is one of the most valuable metrics in software engineering. Learn what is is, why it matter and how to measure it.
