Aggregated on: Mon Nov 29 2021 22:34:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

There are many technical solutions for the endpoint Netcom transmission technology of the internet of things (IoT). The more famous technical solutions include NB-IoT, Lora, WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, dustl, and sub GHz. Different communication technologies have different characteristics and have their own application scenarios. Among them, Lora and Nb-IoT are the most used and most concerned in the Internet of things application scenarios. Lora IoT technology can meet long-distance and low-power data transmission. This application scenario can not be fully met by other IoT communication technologies, which is also the original intention of Lora IoT technology.

Authentication/Authorization in a Remote LDAP Server

Aggregated on: Mon Nov 29 2021 22:04:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

There are plenty of articles, videos, and courses around about this topic, but nearly all of them use embedded LDAP as a source for user information. In this article, we will develop a Spring Boot project and integrate to remote LDAP through Spring Security. In addition, we will perform authentication (auth) and authorization (autz) operations over JWT (JSON Web Token) for the APIs we will open. In a business scenario, our application serves as a user portal service that authenticates and authorizes users against specific APIs with their LDAP authorities. First, let's talk about the terms we will use.

Developers That Embrace Security Add Personal, Organizational Value

Aggregated on: Mon Nov 29 2021 20:49:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

While the relationship between software development and security hasn't always been harmonious, recent research suggests the two are becoming much more aligned. In one study, almost half of developers said they had prioritized learning or improving AppSec/secure programming since the pandemic began. In another study, 79 percent said the importance of secure code is increasing in prominence. This long-awaited meeting of the minds is being driven in large part by astronomical increases in cyberattacks, which are happening on average every 39 seconds. Meanwhile, 60 percent of developers are releasing code two times faster than before. So, while developers are primarily motivated by creating great software, increasingly they are making efforts to ensure that development is complementary to security. The alternative — creating insecure code that puts attackers in the headlines — makes it imperative for developers to incorporate security wherever possible.

The Anatomy of an IoT Solution

Aggregated on: Mon Nov 29 2021 19:49:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Artificial intelligence relies on data. One of the leading ways to collect data these days is by using the Internet of Things. IoT connectivity is often used in devices containing sensors of some sort, allowing us to automatically collect information that either was not collectible before or which needed a human to collect it. Let’s go on a crash course on how you build an IoT platform or IoT device architecture, and which layers work together to make up such a solution. For this example, our IoT connectivity will center around cellular and the use of IoT SIM cards. To begin with, it’s important to realize that there are four individual layers involved in building an IoT solution. Starting from the bottom — with individual frontline devices containing IoT SIM cards on-board — and working upwards to the networks over which your data is transmitted, and the IT applications that let you manage and control your entire fleet of IoT SIM cards. The layer hierarchy is arranged as follows.

A Systematic Review on AI-Driven QA Automation: The Next Normal for Continuous Testing

Aggregated on: Mon Nov 29 2021 17:49:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

1. Introduction When the historians of the future get around the commerce of our times, they are sure to garner overwhelming evidence around the appeal for artificial intelligence and machine learning. The way these two technologies have dug their heels into every possible sector in today’s global market is a revolution in itself. For IT and digitalization industries, in particular, the phrases “DevOps” and “continuous testing” are now finding themselves inseparable from the conversations around AI- and ML-based automation strategies. If anything, it already seems a bit late to expand that conversation to accommodate QA automation. As new technology is introduced, companies, though reasonably skeptical, are beginning to explore and adapt them against the unique demands of consumers. By implementing safe and efficient automated programs for quality assurance, they are already ensuring minimal downtime and uncompromised service experience for their customers. Continuous testing has become synonymous with the QA strategies in most of the DevOps pipelines. Therefore, it only makes sense to bridge the benefits of continuous testing with the potential enrichments of AI-driven automation. Through the course of this article, we will discuss the various aspects of this bridge, including its relevance, necessity, and aftermath for the world that is already going through its fourth industrial revolution.

Using MQTT for IIOT Apps

Aggregated on: Sun Nov 28 2021 16:04:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction to MQTT MQTT is a communication protocol that has taken off in the IIoT community. It’s a lightweight, efficient protocol that works through a publisher/broker/subscriber model. It creates an easy way for field devices to communicate and retrieve data from a single location. In this tutorial, we’ll go over MQTT and dive into an example of how you can publish data using a groov EPIC PAC and retrieve the data using an MQTT client. How MQTT Works The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is used to describe the way machines and applications communicate between themselves. The model was developed with the idea that a provider can utilize different protocols or software components at every layer without having to re-architect the entire structure. The MQTT protocol will come into play at Layer 7 of the model; on top of TCP/IP (Layer 4). The reason that this is important is that this keeps a lot of infrastructure in place while redefining how the packets are being sent between devices.

Getting Started With Tarantool

Aggregated on: Sun Nov 28 2021 15:49:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

What Is Tarantool? Tarantool positions itself as a fast in-memory database. You can put any kind of data you want in there. Plus, you can replicate it and shard it—that is, split a huge amount of data across several servers and combine results from them to make fault-tolerant clusters of the "master-master" type. Secondarily, it is an application server. You can write your own applications on it and process your data—for instance, delete old database records in the background according to certain conditions. You can even write an HTTP server directly in Tarantool to process data: output the number of database records, write new data, and reduce it (as in MapReduce) to the master.

5 Trends Increasing the Pressure on Test Data Provisioning

Aggregated on: Sun Nov 28 2021 15:04:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Today, any test data solution must be capable of fulfilling data requests of a greater volume, variety, and complexity, faster than ever before. This often-pressing need is not always fully appreciated by organizations, but is seen in negative consequences that include: Growing testing bottlenecks. An increase in erroneous test failures. Lost productivity across the SDLC. Mounting infrastructure costs. Ongoing compliance risks. There are many factors that have led to this increase in pressure on already-strained test data services. This article considers related trends that have added to the frequency, volume, and complexity of requests for test data made today. These new and ongoing trends fall into five broad buckets, which must be considered when designing a robust test data solution:

Virtual Function Calls in Constructors and Destructors (C++)

Aggregated on: Sun Nov 28 2021 10:34:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In different programming languages, the behavior of virtual functions differs when it comes to constructors and destructors. Incorrect use of virtual functions is a classic mistake. Developers often use virtual functions incorrectly. In this article, we"ll discuss some of these classic mistakes. Theory I suppose the reader is familiar with virtual functions in C++. Let's get straight to the point. When we call a virtual function in a constructor, the function is overridden only within a base class or a currently created class. Constructors in the derived classes have not yet been called. Therefore, the virtual functions implemented in them will not be called.

Alternate Address and Port Support for Couchbase/N1QL Clusters

Aggregated on: Sun Nov 28 2021 09:49:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

External applications use this facility to communicate with the cluster, but not directly to the nodes. These settings allow internal access to a router or other networked entity that provides interfaces on the cluster’s behalf. When setting up alternate addresses, we can also set up alternate port numbers. The best example for the alternate address setup is AWS public and private IP addresses. Each node has a Private IP and DNS but they can also assign a public IP and DNS record. Those public IPs can be either statically or dynamically assigned.

What Is NVIDIA NGC? Modern science- and enterprise-driven Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workflows are not simple to execute given the complexities arising from multiple packages and frameworks often used in any such typical task. All the mutual dependencies and interrelationships between these open-source frameworks can make the life of a data scientist quite miserable. One universally powerful, yet deceptively simple way to solve this problem is the use of containers. A container is a portable unit of software that combines the application and all its dependencies into a single package that is agnostic to the underlying host OS. Thereby, it removes the need to build complex environments and simplifies the process of application development to deployment.

The 10 Commandments for Performing a Data Science Project

Aggregated on: Fri Nov 26 2021 22:19:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In designing a data science project, establishing what we, or the users we are building models for, want to achieve is vital, but this understanding only provides a blueprint for success. To truly deliver against a well-established brief, data science teams must follow best practices in executing the project. To help establish what that might mean, I have come up with ten points to provide a framework that can be applied to any data science project. 1. Understand the Problem The most fundamental part of solving any problem is knowing exactly what problem you are solving. Make sure that you understand what you are trying to predict, any constraints, and what the ultimate purpose for this project will be. Ask questions early on and validate your understanding with peers, domain experts, and end-users. If you find that answers are aligning with your understanding, you know that you are on the right path.

Video on Demand (VOD) Processing Using AWS

Aggregated on: Fri Nov 26 2021 21:04:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The demand for video is growing, and even more, businesses find infinite possibilities in this sector. We’re not just referring to entertainment or instructional materials here. Content providers, small businesses, and corporate brands are all benefiting from video on demand. Brands can build stronger relationships with their customers by offering them access to the information they want, whenever and however they want it. Thus, such visualization became the most convenient way to share data with software users. VOD (video on demand) refers to any content delivery method that allows users to select when, where, and how they interact with media integration. This can be accomplished by either simultaneous broadcasting from an internet source or by the user downloading the video to a personal device for subsequent viewing. This is in contrast to traditional streaming, when the viewer may only see their film on a gadget with a satellite or cable connection at a certain period.

From Naked Objects to Naked Functions

Aggregated on: Fri Nov 26 2021 19:19:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Functional programming (FP) is, today, roughly where object-oriented programming (OOP) was in the late 1990s. Pure FP languages are gaining popularity, and mainstream languages increasingly support FP idioms. There are some application domains where FP has already become the dominant paradigm – scientific computing, big data, some fin-tech – but there are also substantial application domains where FP has made little impact, one such being transactional enterprise applications built on relational databases. Granted, this is no longer considered to be the ‘hot’ end of systems development, but it still accounts for a huge proportion of commercial programming. Developers working on such systems today might use functional idioms where they can, but it is rare to see one built using FP as the core design ethic. This situation might be attributed to traditional conservatism in that sector, but I believe there is a bigger issue, which derives from the central conundrum of FP, elegantly articulated by Simon Peyton Jones (lead on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler):

In 2012, I made a simple camera app for Android that undoes the natural projection in a picture. Of course, now we have all sorts of scanning apps on every phone, but at the time this was a novelty. Let's dissect the application and see what's it made of.

For many of us, code review is like eating broccoli: We know it’s good for us, but we hate it. This leads many to do superficial code reviews, which are much less effective than they should be.
