How AI Is Used in Static Biometric Verification

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 31 2022 03:35:25 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Static biometric verification is a commonly used AI feature that captures faces in real time and can determine whether a face belongs to a real person or not, without prompting the user to move their head or face. In this way, the service helps deliver a convenient user experience that wins positive feedback. Technical Principles Static biometric verification requires an RGB camera and is able to differentiate between a real person's face and a spoof attack (such as an image or screenshot of a face and a face mask), through details (such as the moiré pattern or reflection on a paper photo) in the image captured by the camera. The service supports data from a wide array of scenarios, including different lighting conditions, face accessories, genders, hairstyles, and mask materials. The service analyzes a face's surroundings to detect suspicious environments.

How the chmod Command Works on Linux

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 31 2022 02:20:25 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

When we create a file or folder on a Unix-based system like Linux or MacOS, it has a set of permissions and access modes. These are most often manipulated using the chmod command, which allow us to change who can access and run different files. Let's look at how chmod works. To begin, the chmod command has the following syntax, where [OPTIONS] are optional settings, [MODE] are the permissions we want to give the file or folder, and x is the file we want to apply chmod to.

Soon the CI/CD system built for one team has grown to support every business line in the firm.

2 Billion MySQL Records

Aggregated on: Wed Mar 30 2022 18:05:25 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Yesterday Gary Gray, a friend of mine sent me the following screenshot. He's got a database table with 2 billion records he intends to use Magic on, and he wanted to show it to me, thinking I'd probably be like, "That's cool." Gary works for Dialtone in South Africa, and is used to handling a "monster amount of data". For the record, neither Gary nor I would want to encourage anyone to handle 2 billion records in MySQL, but as you can obviously, see it is possible. This of course is a legacy system. If it was started today, Gary would obviously use ScyllaDB, Cassandra, or something similar. Simply counting the records in the table above requires 5 minutes of execution in MySQL workbench. Obviously, such sizes are not for those faint at heart. Such a database also implies a lot of inserts. This makes it impossible to add indexes, resulting in every select query you do towards it having some sort of where clause in it that implies a full table scan. However, it is possible.

Introduction The MySQL Server has many different names and has been around for decades. Some people simply call it "MySQL," some refer to it as "the MySQL daemon," and others still elect to simply combine the two and call it "mysqld" (short for "MySQL daemon"). Regardless, the fact remains that it is both extremely popular and used in almost every industry we can think of. People working with the server generally use it to support software solutions on the web, but its use cases vary from industry to industry thanks to its high availability, performance including data storage and security. Here you can read about how to Set Up MySQL 8 Replication with Linux Nodes:

Functional Interface Explained in Detail Introduced From Java 8

Aggregated on: Tue Mar 29 2022 03:50:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Originally published August 2020 Functional interfaces are introduced as part of Java 8. It is implemented using the annotation called @FunctionalInterface. It ensures that the interface should have only one abstract method. The usage of the abstract keyword is optional as the method defined inside the interface is by default abstract. It is important to note that a functional interface can have multiple default methods (it can be said concrete methods which are default), but only one abstract method. The default method has been introduced in interface so that a new method can be appended in the class without affecting the implementing class of the existing interfaces. Prior to Java 8, the implementing class of an interface had to implement all the abstract methods defined in the interface.

Old Habits Die Hard, But Getting New Ones is Essential. Tips on Getting the Most Out of TypeScript

Aggregated on: Mon Mar 28 2022 22:50:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In web development, no one is surprised when a new framework or library enters the stage. Implementing complex functionalities and creating UI elements from scratch only using the powers of a specific programming language is not always the most optimal way. Instead, developers either rely on the existing frameworks or create their own for internal use. In the case of programming languages, the situation is a little more complicated. A fairly large number of coders are unhappy with the limitations of the programming language that they use every day. Therefore, from time to time, we can hear about the new programming language release. The question is, will the development community adopt it as a replacement for well-established technologies? As an example, we can take a look at Dart. It was initially released in 2011 but remained quite unpopular until the Flutter framework was launched in 2017.

First impressions count – your website is the first thing people will see. They can size up your business within seconds upon landing on your page. How would you want to make a lasting positive impact on your audience in these first few seconds? If your website features look outdated or unappealing, it can leave a negative impression. If they don’t find your website appealing, they will go, and you’ll miss out on prospective leads. Web design is essential because it primarily impacts how your target audience perceives your brand. The impression you make on them can either get them to stay on your page and learn more about the products/services you offer or leave your page for a competitor’s site. A good web design helps you keep leads and turn them into profit. This article gives you ten web design mistakes to avoid when designing your website.

4 Key Flow Metrics for Agile Teams

Aggregated on: Mon Mar 28 2022 21:20:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

What Is Flow Engineering and Why Does It Matter for Software Delivery? Flow Engineering is the science of creating, visualizing, and optimizing the flow of value from your company to the customers. It addresses the million-dollar (likely more) challenge of most product companies is: How do we create value in the form of products and services and ship this value to our customers as quickly, sustainably and frictionless as possible. From a product management point of view, we might look at how quickly we can achieve customer adoption and satisfaction. From an engineering platform point of view, we might look at DevOps metrics such as DORA, which have a similar aim. And from a software development point of view, we might look at code quality and the number of features shipped. All these different viewpoints have something in common: we want to measure and optimize the flow from our ideas to implementation and product delivery.

Reindexing in WSO2 API-M to Display APIs in Publisher

Aggregated on: Mon Mar 28 2022 21:20:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

WSO2 API-M 3.2.0 uses indexing to display API details in Publisher and DevPortal. Say you have API-M set up and running with Oracle or some other database and you have created some APIs in the Publisher. If the database password expires somehow and you restart the API-M server after the DB password reset, sometimes all the previously created APIs are not visible in Publisher after the server restart. But on checking in the database from the SQL developer or other DB tools, all the APIs can be seen. To resolve this issue, the API data in the database needs to be reindexed. We can add the below reindexing configuration in the <Product_Home>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file and then restart the API-M server. That should resolve the issue.

Flutter vs. React Native in 2022: Detailed Framework Comparison

Aggregated on: Mon Mar 28 2022 10:35:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Native applications work smoothly on mobile devices. Their graphic transitions take less time for UI rendering compared to the cross-platforming. The reason is simple: their code can communicate straight to the mobile OS core, enabling UI methods. In the meantime, the native mobile platforms (OS) are written in different languages. For instance, Android OS is a mix of Java, C, and C++. In comparison, the iOS platform is built with Objective C and Swift. So, native mobile development requires the knowledge of a few languages like Swift and Java simultaneously. That's a big deal, as not many companies could afford to hire developers for each platform.

Using Consistent Hashing in Presto to Improve Caching Data Locality in Dynamic Clusters

Aggregated on: Mon Mar 28 2022 09:05:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Running Presto with Alluxio is gaining popularity in the community. It avoids long latency reading data from remote storage by utilizing SSD or memory to cache hot datasets close to Presto workers. Presto supports hash-based soft affinity scheduling to enforce that only one or two copies of the same data are cached in the entire cluster, which improves cache efficiency by allowing more hot data cached locally. The current hashing algorithm used, however, does not work well when cluster size changes. This article introduces a new hashing algorithm for soft affinity scheduling, consistent hashing, to address this problem. Soft Affinity Scheduling Presto uses a scheduling strategy called soft affinity scheduling to schedule a split (smallest unit of data processing) to the same Presto worker (preferred node). The mapping from a split and a Presto worker is computed by a hashing function on the split, making sure the same split will always be hashed to the same worker. The first time a split is processed, data will be cached on the preferred worker node. When subsequent queries process the same split, these requests will be scheduled to the same worker node again. Since data is already cached locally, no remote read will be necessary.

Infrastructure as Code: Everything You Need to Know

Aggregated on: Sun Mar 27 2022 21:20:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Infrastructure is one of the core tenets of a software development process — it is directly responsible for the stable operation of a software application. This infrastructure can range from servers, load balancers, firewalls, and databases all the way to complex container clusters. Infrastructure considerations are valid beyond production environments, as they spread across the entire development process. They include tools and platforms such as CI/CD platforms, staging environments, and testing tools. These infrastructure considerations increase as the level of complexity of the software product increases. Very quickly, the traditional approach for manually managing infrastructure becomes an unscalable solution to meet the demands of DevOps modern rapid software development cycles. And that’s how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become the de facto solution in development today.

This is an article from DZone's 2022 DevOps Trend Report.For more: Read the Report What Is GitOps and Why Is it Important for an Organization? GitOps is a model to automate and manage infrastructure and applications. This is done by using the same DevOps best practices that many teams already use, such as version control, code review, and CI/CD pipelines. While implementing DevOps, we've found ways to automate the software development lifecycle, but when it comes to infrastructure setup and deployments, it's still mostly a manual process. With GitOps, teams can automate the infrastructure provisioning process. This is due to the ability to write your Infrastructure as Code (IaC), version the code in a Git repository, and apply continuous deployment principles to your cloud delivery.
