Kolejna porcja interesujących linków z branży IT.

Już tylko do niedzieli do północy masz czas na dołączenie do szkolenia AI Devs. Zobacz koniecznie agendę szkolenia i dołącz do nas.

1) ChatGPT na produkcji - częste nieporozumienia (film, 30 minut) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txDIINfhHeo INFO: Podejście "AI as a backend" zyskuje na popularności. Niestety nie wszyscy programiści tworzący interakcje między modelami językowymi, a systemami IT wiedzą, jak to zrobić wydajnie, bezpiecznie i w sposób, który zagwarantuje poprawne działanie aplikacji. Ten krótki wykład przechodzi przez popularne nieporozumienia związane z wdrażaniem takich rozwiązań.

2) Więcej zaproszeń na rozmowy o pracę, więcej ofert i lepsze wynagrodzenia w IT - poradnik https://careercutler.substack.com/p/how-to-get-more-interviews-offers INFO: Chcesz pracować w jednym z gigantów technologicznych, ale nie wiesz, jak przyciągnąć ich uwagę? Alan Stein, CEO Kadima Careers, podpowiada, jak zwiększyć swoje szanse na rozmowę kwalifikacyjną, jak dostawać więcej ofert pracy i jak negocjować wyższe wynagrodzenie. Jest tam też trochę hintów na temat poprawy CV i budowy relacji.

3) Czy 'pistolety świetlne' (Nintendo/Pegazus) działają z monitorami LCD? https://nicole.express/2023/bang-bang-youre-dead.html INFO: Twoja ulubiona strzelanka z dzieciństwa nie działa na nowoczesnym telewizorze LCD? Ten artykuł omawia technologię działania tych pistoletów świetlnych i wyjaśnia, dlaczego nie są one kompatybilne z LCD. Ale nie martw się, autor podaje również rozwiązanie, które pozwoli ci wrócić do strzelania do kaczek na nowoczesnym ekranie ;)

4) Code Review zamiast programowania na rozmowie o pracę? https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/07/interviews-age-of-ai-ditch-leetcode-try-code-reviews-instead/ INFO: Ciekawe podejście. Autor proponuje, aby zamiast dawać programistom kod do napisania, dać im code review do przeglądnięcia i zasugerowania stosownych zmian. Co ciekawe, to podejście ma (wg autora) zwalczyć problem mniej uczciwych kandydatów wspierających się AI podczas przygotowywania kodu.

5) Porównanie Raspberry Pi 5, Orange Pi 5 Plus i Rock 5 Model B https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-vs-orange-pi-5-plus-vs-rock-5-model-b/ INFO: Czy najnowsze Raspberry Pi 5 jest lepsze od konkurencji? Autor porównuje trzy modele miniaturowych komputerów jednopłytkowych (SBC) - Raspberry Pi 5, Orange Pi 5 Plus i Rock 5 Model B. Analizuje ich specyfikacje, wydajność oraz cenę. Dość skondensowane porównanie.

6) Od juniora do seniora w WebDev - roadmapa https://dev.to/aswin2001barath/junior-to-senior-web-developer-roadmap-breakdown-1525 INFO: Spis zagadnień, które według autora warto opanować, aby rozwinąć się z poziomu stanowisk juniorskich w świecie webdevelopmentu. Artykuł zawiera tematy do samodzielnego zgłębienia, ale nie podaje niestety sugerowanych źródeł wiedzy do nauki.

7) Ostatnie dni na zakup szkolenia AI Devs [autopromocja] https://www.aidevs.pl/?ref=unknowUN INFO: Jeśli jeszcze nie jesteś na pokładzie szkolenia dla programistów chcących wejść w świat integracji systemów IT z modelami językowymi, to już w niedzielę o północy stracisz możliwość dołączenia. Ruszamy 23 października.

8) Wpływ ChatGPT na naukę programowania - wyniki ankiety od Programiz https://programiz.pro/report INFO: Jak ChatGPT wpływa na naukę programowania i rynek pracy? Oto wyniki ankiety, które pokazują, że ChatGPT jest coraz częściej wykorzystywany jako podstawowe narzędzie do nauki programowania, a 30% respondentów nawet uważa, że jest lepszy od wykładów na uczelni. Rzuć okiem na wyniki całej ankiety.

9) Animacja obiektu po ścieżce w CSS https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2023/10/animate-along-path-css/ INFO: Kilka ciekawych trików na implementację ruchu obiektu po wcześniej ustalonej ścieżce (np. po okręgu). Przydatne nie tylko przy tworzeniu np. loaderów do aplikacji, ale też przy realizacji bardziej zaawansowanych efektów.

10) Wydajność Linuxa - jak ją mierzyć, jak wizualizować, jak szukać wąskich gardeł? https://www.brendangregg.com/linuxperf.html INFO: Autor podaje sporo narzędzi do analizy wydajności, tuningu, benchmarkingu i obserwacji systemu Linux. Znajdziesz tu również wiele praktycznych przykładów i porad. To kompendium wiedzy z licznymi linkami do filmów/artykułów. Mało estetyczna forma podania wiedzy, ale za to sporo ciekawostek dla pasjonatów Linuksa.

11) Optymalizacja obrazów? - potrzebujesz tylko tych trzech narzędzi (film, 9 minut) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akA1OiMk_q8 INFO: Chcesz zmniejszyć rozmiar grafiki używanej w Twojej aplikacji. Sięgasz po specjalną przeznaczoną do tego aplikację... no właśnie - którą? Autorzy filmu wyjaśniają, że wybór wcale nie jest taki prosty i dlatego sugerują trzy toole, które zawsze warto mieć pod ręką.

12) Implementacja sieci neuronowej w czystym JavaScript https://dev.to/grahamthedev/a-noob-learns-ai-my-first-neural-networkin-vanilla-jswith-no-libraries-1f92 INFO: Temat sztucznej inteligencji to ostatnio głównie wysokopoziomowe zagadnienia związane z modelami językowymi, a gdzie się podziały stare, dobre sieci neuronowe? Autor tego artykułu pokazuje jak krok po kroku, bez żadnych dodatkowych bibliotek zbudować taką prostą sieć, jak ją uczyć i jak z niej korzystać. Zaczyna się na dość prostych przykładach, ale im dalej zagłębisz się w treść, tym większym zrozumieniem i skupieniem musisz się wykazać. Nie jest to łatwy temat.

13) Wzorce projektowe używane w JS - omówienie i przykłady https://blog.carlosrojas.dev/quick-reference-guide-to-design-patterns-in-js-1ebeb1e1c605 INFO: Każdy ze wzorców zawiera krótkie omówienie oraz przykład jego implementacji w kodzie. Bardzo skondensowana porcja wiedzy.

14) Piksele na stronie i dostępności - co to ma wspólnego?! https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/surprising-truth-about-pixels-and-accessibility/ INFO: Piksele czy jednostki em/rem? To pytanie często nurtuje twórców stron internetowych. Ten artykuł pozwala na zrozumienie, jak każda z tych jednostek wpływa na dostępność strony i kiedy którą z nich stosować.

15) Jak GitHub przeszukuje wszystkie repozytoria z taką szybkością? https://scaleyourapp.com/system-design-github-code-search-engine/ INFO: Wyszukiwarka na GitHubie biorąc pod uwagę rozmiar bazy, jaką przeszukuje, jest zaskakująco szybka. Jak to osiągnięto? Autor opracowania wyjaśnia, dlaczego żadne z gotowych rozwiązań nie dawało sobie rady z tym problemem i jak działa 'Project Blackbird', którego używa GitHub.

16) Thumb Calendar - ciekawa koncepcja rocznego kalendarza kieszonkowego http://thumbcalendar.com/ INFO: Idea tego projektu to zmieszczenie całego, rocznego kalendarza na jednej kartce wielkości wizytówki. Może się to wydawać trudne, ale autorzy osiągnęli to i to nawet bez używania fonta 2pt ;) Projekt niestety umarł w 2022 roku, jednak idea jest na tyle prosta, że pasjonaci powinni bez problemu pociągnąć go dalej lub samodzielnie wygenerować wersję na nadchodzące lata.

17) Nieoficjalne API do DALL-E 3 https://github.com/Agora-X/Dalle3 INFO: Obecnie dostęp do najnowszej wersji generatora grafiki DALL-E w wersji 3 jest możliwy jedynie za pośrednictwem pluginu w webowej wersji interface GPT-4. Ta biblioteka rozwiązuje ten problem i udostępnia najnowszy silnik dla programistów w mało oficjalny sposób. Ze względu na to, że pod spodem wykorzystywane jest niepubliczne API, to rozwiązanie może za jakiś czas przestać działać.

18) GitHub Copilot przynosi straty twórcom? https://datasciencelearningcenter.substack.com/p/why-microsofts-github-copilot-is INFO: Obecny abonament za usługę ($100/rok) wygląda na uczciwy, ale czy twórcy tego rozwiązania naprawdę na nim zarabiają? Copilot stał się ważnym narzędziem w programistycznym świecie, ale jeśli koszty jego utrzymania nie zostaną zredukowane, to możemy mieć problem.

19) Monolit Lambda (Lambdalith) do obsługi API - czy to dobry pomysł? https://rehanvdm.com/blog/should-you-use-a-lambda-monolith-lambdalith-for-the-api INFO: Czy monolit Lambda API jest lepszym rozwiązaniem w porównaniu do typowych funkcji Lambda przeznaczonych do jednego celu przy realizacji API? Autor pokazuje, że często Lambdalith jest lepszym wyborem. Artykuł także podważa niektóre 'najlepsze praktyki'.

20) Hiperpersonalizacja AI, czyli GPT-4 dopasowane do Ciebie (film, 2h) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgGrGF18ah8 INFO: Czym się różni personalizacja od hiperpersonalizacji? Dlaczego ktoś miałby chcieć personalizować modele językowe? Jak to wygląda w praktyce - wiele pytań, ale na wszystkie znajdziesz odpowiedź w filmie. Jest to nagranie ze środowego webinara.

21) YouTube - stabilna głośność, wyszukiwanie piosenek przez nucenie i kilka innych nowości https://9to5google.com/2023/10/17/youtube-you-tab-stable-volume/ INFO: YouTube zapowiada wprowadzenie ponad trzydziestu nowych funkcji i aktualizacji designu. Artykuł omawia kilka najciekawszych zdaniem autora zmian, które nadchodzą.

22) Prompty kryjące się za narzędziami od OpenAI https://github.com/spdustin/ChatGPT-AutoExpert/blob/main/System%20Prompts.md INFO: To, że narzędzia typu Dall-E, wyszukiwanie z Bingiem, czy mobilne aplikacje od OpenAI korzystają pod spodem z ChatGPT, to rzecz oczywista, ale jakimi zapytaniami napędzane są te narzędzia? Ktoś postanowił wydobyć te prompty i zebrać je w jednym miejscu. Przydatne zwłaszcza dla programistów, którzy chcą samodzielnie wykonać podobne aplikacje z użyciem API.

23) Luki w systemach mają często chwytliwą nazwę i logo - dawniej tak nie było? https://shellsharks.com/designer-vulnerabilities INFO: Prawdopodobnie kojarzysz podatności typu Heartbleed, Shellshock, czy ShadowBunny. Nawet jeśli nie pamietasz czego dotyczyły, to gdzieś w głowie zostały Ci ich nazwy. Tylko dlaczego te podatności dostają takie 'fancy' nazwy, a nie zwykłe, opisowe? To pewnie jakaś nowa moda… na tej stronie znajdziesz spis głośnych luk i szybko zauważysz, że tradycja nadawania takich nazw, a nawet wymyślania loga sięga… lat 90.

24) Jak sprytniej tworzyć skrypty bashowe zwracające JSON? https://j3s.sh/thought/shell-tip-print-json-with-printf.html INFO: Zwracanie obiektu JSON to prosta sprawa. Jedno echo i gotowe. Tylko jest jeden, mały problem... cudzysłowy i apostrofy. Gdy zapragniesz je ogarnąć, okaże się, że praca z JSON-em w terminalu to męczarnia. W tym wpisie autor pokazuje, jak to zrobić sprytniej, zamieniając zwykłe echo na coś wygodniejszego, a jednocześnie nie sięgając przy tym po aplikacje typu JQ.

25) Zagnieżdżenia w CSS - kiedy i czy warto je stosować? https://cloudfour.com/thinks/when-to-nest-css/ INFO: Zagnieżdżenia (nesting) w CSS są już od pewnego czasu obsługiwane przez większość przeglądarek. Czy warto jednak wprowadzać je w swoich aplikacjach? Jaka jest różnica między zagnieżdżaniem w CSS a tymi znanymi np. z SASS i kiedy to drugie może okazać się bardziej praktyczne? Z artykułu dowiesz się, jak poprawić czytelność swoich CSS-ów i jak unikać często zbytecznego zwiększania ważności selektorów. Dobra lektura dla frontendowców.

26) Zbudujmy edytor PixelArt dla wielu użytkowników - tutorial i omówienie https://jakelazaroff.com/words/building-a-collaborative-pixel-art-editor-with-crdts/ INFO: Autor pokazuje krok po kroku jak zbudować system podobny do Google Docs, gdzie jednocześnie może pracować wielu użytkowników, widząc na żywo (lub z lekkim opóźnieniem) swoje zmiany. Jako przykład użyto prostego edytora PixelArt. Artykuł ma kilka części. Linkuję do pierwszej praktycznej, ale jeśli nie wiesz, czym są te całe 'CRDT' omawiane przez autora, to w pierwszym akapicie znajdziesz linka do artykułu wprowadzającego w teorię.

27) Ciekawe elementy CSS-a z wersji webowej Photoshopa https://ishadeed.com/article/photoshop-web-css/ INFO: Autor znany z analiz dużych aplikacji webowych ,tym razem wziął na tapet najnowszy produkt od Adobe, czyli webowego Photoshopa. Jakie ciekawe smaczki CSS-owe kryją się w jego kodzie? Zobacz, jak wykorzystano tam Flexboxa, CSS Grid i wiele innych technik.

28) Endoflife - informacje o datach końca wsparcia dla produktów https://endoflife.date/ INFO: Serwis gromadzi informacje o produktach fizycznych (np. smartfony) i aplikacjach, podając, kiedy zakończono ich produkcję/dystrybucję i do kiedy planowane jest wsparcie techniczne dla nich.

29) FCron - dlaczego miałbyś zmieniać crona w systemie?! https://dbohdan.com/fcron INFO: Istnieje wiele implementacji cronów na Linuksa/Uniksa. Dlaczego miałbyś zrezygnować z najpopularniejszej implementacji i przejść na jakiegoś "fcrona"? Gdy przeczytasz jakie limity narzucają na Ciebie inne implementacje i jakie możliwości daje Ci fcron, to zrozumiesz, że warto w niektórych przypadkach pomyśleć o zmianie.

30) Komunikacja HTTP w JavaScript https://devszczepaniak.pl/komunikacja-http-w-javascript/ INFO: Autor przedstawia różne metody na komunikację po protokole HTTP, które możesz wykorzystać, a także daje praktyczne przykłady ich użycia. W tekście omówiono XMLHttpRequest, Fetch API, Axios oraz Undici.

31) Sessionic - rozszerzenie do przeglądarki do zapisywania, zarządzania i przywracania kart i sesji https://github.com/navorite/sessionic INFO: Masz otwarte dziesiątki tabów powiązanych z pracą, ale chcesz otworzyć kolejne dziesiątki tabów związanych z np. pisaniem Twojej pracy magisterskiej. Możesz oczywiście uruchomić kolejne okno przeglądarki, ale to nie jest rozwiązanie, które spodoba się Twojej pamięci RAM ;) Z pomocą przyjdzie Sessionic, który zachowa wszystkie taby w swoim schowku i przywróci je, gdy będą Ci potrzebne. Rozszerzenie działa na przeglądarkach Chrome, Edge i Firefox.

32) SSH-audit - narzędzie do testowania bezpieczeństwa serwerów SSH https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit INFO: Wielu adminów prawdopodobnie zna już ssh-audit, aleee... to nie jest ten soft. Tamta aplikacja od lat nie jest już rozwijana, a to do czego linkuję, to alternatywny fork, który jest stale rozwijany i rozbudowywany o nowe funkcje. Możesz dzięki tej aplikacji sprawdzić, czy Twój serwer ssh spełnia wszelkie wytyczne dotyczące bezpieczeństwa.

33) Czy Twitter (X) będzie płatny? https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/x-twitter-charge-users-one-dollar-per-year-test-1235760066/ INFO: Elon Musk zdecydował się na niecodzienny krok - postanowił zwalczać boty na swojej platformie z wykorzystaniem płatnych, ale skrajnie tanich kont. Czy to powstrzyma zalew botów? Testy funkcji "Not A Bot" rozpoczęły się na Filipinach i Nowej Zelandii. Użytkownicy, którzy zdecydują się na płatny abonament, będą mogli publikować treści, lajkować posty, odpowiadać na nie i dodawać do zakładek. Pozostali będą mogli jedynie czytać posty i obserwować konta. Czy to jest dobry sposób na walkę z botami?

34) Jak w Nowym Jorku dostarczano pocztę... rurami https://untappedcities.com/2023/10/17/pneumatic-tube-mail-new-york-city/ INFO: Ciekawy system pneumatycznego dostarczania poczty z szybkością nawet 50km/h. Jak to działało? O tym więcej w artykule.

35) Piped - alternatywny, samohostowalny frontend dla YouTube https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped INFO: Jest to aplikacja, którą możesz uruchomić na swoim serwerze lub domowym komputerze, a zapewni Ci ona dostęp do filmów z YT w wersji bez śledzących skryptów, bez tony polecanych filmów oraz... bez reklam. Możesz przetestować działanie tej platformy na podlinkowanej, oficjalnej instancji postawionej przez twórców rozwiązania.

== LINKI TYLKO DLA PATRONÓW ==

36) System Design - materiały do nauki https://uw7.org/un_d03fe0478109a INFO: Skomplikowane zagadnienia związane z projektowaniem systemów IT zostały zaprezentowane w postaci prostych do zrozumienia schematów i opisane prostymi słowami. Idealne materiały do nauki przed rozmową o pracę z tego zakresu.

37) Znajdź źródłowy adres IP serwera ukrytego za CloudFlare https://uw7.org/un_16d5471bcd815 INFO: To narzędzie stara się z użyciem Censysa wyśledzić serwery ukryte za CloudFlare. Pozwala to np. pentesterom na obejście filtrów bezpieczeństwa dodawanych przez CF.

Let us begin again ringing in the New Year here in Rapture. Here’s a little tribute based off Johnny Dombrowski’s marvelous illustration though with a slightly older Wurlitzer model instead. Those new Bubbler jukeboxes always seem to jam and play only a few seconds of a song.

As always, we’ll take this time to remember Patti Page, singer of “Doggie in the Window” who also passed away on New Year’s Day.

We’re celebrating another 10th anniversary of a sister game this year with Fallout 3 and a new set of sounds wafting in from Appalachia.

See if your favorite record, 8-track, cassette, or wax cylinder was featured this year:

Frequently asked questions of programming.

• Should I learn Python or JavaScript? • Data Science vs Web Development vs App Development, which one should I choose? • Why should I learn Web Development when there are popular Web Developing tools like Wix & WordPress? • All these points made me confused 😕 about what should I do?

So before starting with the questions Here's something about who I am and What makes me qualified to answer such questions? I'm a gradiot (an idiot who did his graduation and who has wasted money and time getting zero skills from college while there's an actual opportunity to learn everything online for free). Yes, I am a CS graduate. I have a great desire to make things, you might know the feeling of IT'S ALIVE if you have developed anything. During my college years I came across multiple technologies from Arduino to Raspberry pi, from PHP to JavaScript, Python, flutter you name it. I tried to learn and understand various technologies not due to college curriculum, but due to my desire to learn more and google 😎. Throughout my journey I encountered many questions and here are some of the questions I think will help you guys. Hope You'll like it.

Should I learn Python or JavaScript?

Before I start with why Python🐍 or JavaScript⚡. Let's talk about programming in general. Programming is a way of thinking and implementing the logic you create in a language that machines understand. Now there are styles or you can say structures of programming aka programming paradigms like Object-oriented programming (OOPs), Functional programming, procedural programming, etc. As a developer, you should at least know one of these paradigms. The more paradigms you know the broader choices you'll have for creating efficient and flexible code.

Back to the topic, Python and JavaScript both support OOPs and functional programming along with other paradigms. JavaScript is considered as the king of web programming that is used to create highly functional and dynamic websites. It has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks to choose from like ReactJS, Angular, and Vue for front-end and NodeJS for the backend. You can also create native Apps for phones using React Native in JavaScript. So, with JavaScript, you can develop full-fledged websites as well as mobile applications. Whereas, Python is Best-suited programming language for Machine learning and data science. It has multiple Libraries like Keras, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, etc. Along with that, Python is easy to use and has large community support. You can also create websites in python using frameworks like Django and Flask. You can also create apps in python as well using Tkinter, kiwi, etc. Both languages have powerful rounding development.

TL;DR Here is my perspective on this topic. As a developer, everyone must know basic web development since Machine learning and Data Science is a service-based skill While Web and App Development is a product-based skill. Hence, Data Science and Machine learning people are called engineers and not developers. Notice the very subtle difference between an engineer and a developer. Also, you know Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, well they started with web dev and created their products. Ask yourself what you want, define your goals, and then choose wisely and always bet on JavaScript.

Data Science vs Web Development vs App Development Which one should I choose?

If you are reading this, you might be knowing very well the pay of a Data Science and ML engineers as compared to a Web Developer or an App Developer. All this huge burst about AI is the future and might very well draw you towards thinking that even I should learn Data Science for a huge package and a job opportunity. Here's the ugly truth, it's hard to get a job in Data Science since companies will prefer a person having the Domain knowledge and usually majoring in Mathematics and statistics, you should at least have Masters or Ph.D. for getting a job in this field. For Example- A fintech company will choose a CFA or Finance major rather than a CS engineer and teach them Data Science since python is easy and it's the efficiency that counts. So, the person with finance knowledge is well suited for the job. However, As I said It's hard to get a job, not impossible. Some CS grads have got into data science and are earning handful. All you need to learn is python and some libraries and mathematics. Now, As I said before, data science is a service-based skill you are not technically a developer you're an engineer who is figuring out solutions for a given problem. On the other hand, being a web or app developer means developing products. You can create applications and websites and release them to earn using ad revenue, selling them, or even creating and maintain them for companies that way you don't have to rely on companies to give your services. I suggest you to first, learn web development and then Data Science while earning through your web dev skills. That way you will have a decent skill set, portfolio, and a budget to start experimenting into the world of machine learning where processing power is everything.

Why should I learn Web Development when there is a popular Web Developing tool like Wix & WordPress?

WordPress and Wix are popular content management systems. They are best for creating small websites and blogs. Yes, they made it easy for anyone to create websites but that doesn't mean web developers' jobs are gone. You can't create Amazon, Netflix, Twitter, and large fully functional websites using them. So, if you are trying to be a low-level web developer, you can pretty much say goodbye to developing websites. You can google top trending tech skills in demand and you will find AngularJS, ReactJS, NodeJS developers in demand. Not only websites but you can also create native applications for android and iOS using React-native and games using ThreeJS a JavaScript library. Possibilities are endless, all you have to do is START. I'll suggest you start with MERN stack just my personal opinion but you can research and pick whichever stack you like.

Is NodeJS better than Django?

Before comparing let's talk about what is NodeJS and Django. Node JS is a JavaScript runtime taken out of the client-side browser environment which uses OS binding for I/O, and Django is a Python framework. So comparing both is like comparing apples with oranges. Though let's have these points clear. When It comes to performance, Yes. NodeJS is faster than Django or in general python since it's written in C++ and is a JS runtime. You ask why? because JavaScript is faster than python because it works on an asynchronous non-blocking object model. When It comes to scalability, No. Django or python, in general, is highly scalable as the caching of applications is quite easy. Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. With the introduction of npm which stands for the Node Package Management system, the open-source community has been boomed towards NodeJS since managing packages and dependencies has never been that easy. Also, npm is far better than pip when it comes to package management, you can research about it. Here are some of the big fishes and the backend tech they preferred for their development. Uber, Twitter, eBay, Netflix, Duckduckgo, PayPal, LinkedIn, Trello, Mozilla, GoDaddy are some big names using Node JS as their backend technology. Pinterest, Instagram, Eventbrite, Sentry, Zapier, Dropbox, Spotify, YouTube are also some big names using Django as their backend technology. Notice the trend here, Uber, Twitter, and Netflix are some of the applications that priorities performance whereas Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube requires a lot of space and thus scalability is their priority. So, the choice is upon you what you want scalability or performance.

All these points made me confused 😕 about what should I do?

First, ask yourself what do you enjoy doing. Do you like to create games, apps, websites? What intrigues you? What sparks your curiosity? I have listed some of the questions depending upon the choices you make.

• GAME Development – If you want to get into the game development industry, you will have to learn C# or C++ for hardcore game development. You can create web games using ThreeJS or any other library but you won't be exactly a game developer.

• App Development – You can create an application using JAVA for android or Swift for iOS. Further, you can use React-native or Flutter for creating apps that would run on both android and iOS. If you want web apps, you can use Ionic as well.

• Web Development – There are many stacks (a set of technologies that suits well with each other) you could choose to learn like MEAN stack, MERN stack, LAMP stack, etc. You can create a website from WordPress or Wix as well. Develop an interactive portfolio for yourself with the stack you find interesting.

• Data Science, ML, AI – Start with python and take courses on data science, mathematics, machine learning, from popular websites like Udemy or LinkedIn. Start competing on Kaggle and maintain your Kaggle profile. Second, do yourself a favor and start learning algorithms and data structures in the language that fits your answer to the above question. Third, Start applying for internships with some projects and try to make an exemplary portfolio. Maintain your GitHub, LeetCode or HackerRank or any other profiles which you can include on your resume.

I hope this might help you; I tried my best to answer some of the questions that I've faced throughout my journey as a gradiot. If you feel that I'm missing something or something is wrong please feel free to correct me in the comment section. Thank you for your valuable time.

Kano’s latest computer kit for kids doubles down on touch

Learn-to-code startup Kano , whose products aim to turn kids into digital makers, has taken the wraps off the latest incarnation of its build-it-yourself computer kit. With the new flagship Kano is doubling down on touch interactions — urging kids to “make your own tablet”. The Computer Kit Touch packs a 10.1″ HD touchscreen, along with Kano’s now familiar bright orange wireless keyboard which comes with a built in trackpad. While touch is becoming increasingly central to its products, Kano says the keyboard remains an important component of the product — supporting text-based coding apps which its platform also provides access to, as well as the more approachable drag-and-drop block-based coding systems that do really benefit from having a touchscreen to hand. The kit, which Kano says is generally (but not exclusively) aimed at the 6-13 age range, is on sale from today, priced at $279.99 — via its website ( Kano .me ), as well as from selected retailers and e-tailers. The Raspberry Pi powered computer is also getting increased storage capacity in this upgrade — of 16GB. But the main refresh is around updating Kano OS, Kano’s kid-friendly Pi topper, with expanded support for touch controls, according to founder Alex Klein . Last year Kano combined touch and keyboard based interaction into a single product, the Computer Kit Complete — calling that a DIY laptop. The 2018 refreshed version looks much the same, with enhancements generally behind the scenes and/or under the hood. “The big moves this year are advancing the software and content ecosystem,” says Klein. “How it’s all integrated together.” He points to another coding kit the team has up for pre-order, slated to ship next month — a co-branded Harry Potter gizmo in which kids get to build a motion-sensitive “ coding wand ” and use it to cook up their own digital spells, helped along by Kano’s software — adding: “With the Potter kit we’re bringing Kano code — to create a system, the ability to blend and change physics engines and sounds and particle systems — to tablets. So we’ve now got a touch-based interaction model for that e-product, as well as mouse and keyboard, and so we’ve brought that software system now to the Computer Kit Touch. “You can code by dragging and dropping blocks with your fingers, you can paint and draw. You can change the pitch of a loop or a melody by running your fingers up and down and then using a change of a parameter mess with how quickly that melody changes, mess with the number of layers, you can make a beat or a loop using a touch-based digital audio workstation style X-Y plane. You can go into any one of our creative coding apps and pull in touch-based interactions, so instead of just using a mouse, a click and point, you can make an app that responds to swipes and taps, and different speeds, and in different locations.” “On the touch kit itself there’s also a set of new content that demystifies how touchscreens work and peels back the layer of the screen and shows you what’s behind, and you’re kind of touching the intersection of the different copper wires and seeing what’s happening beneath,” he adds. “There’s obviously a big hardware upgrade with the new ability to touch it, to take it with you. We’ve refined a lot of the components, we’ve improved the speed, the battery life. But really the core of it is this upgraded software that integrates with all the other kit.” Talking of other kit, the learn-to-code space is now awash with quasi-educational gizmos , leaving parents in Western markets spoiled for choice of what to buy a budding coder. Many more of these gizmos will be unboxed as we head into the holiday season. And while Kano was something of a startup pioneer here — a category creator, as Klein tells it — there’s now no shortage of tech for kids promising some kind of STEM-based educational benefit. So it’s facing an ever-growing gaggle of competition. Kano’s strategy to stand out in an increasingly contested space is to fix on familiar elements, says Stein — flagging for example the popular game Minecraft — which runs on the Kano kit, and for which there’s a whole subsection of the Kano World community given over to hacking Minecraft . And, well, aside from block-headed Minecraft characters it’s hard to find a character more familiar to children than the fictional wizard Harry Potter. So you can certainly see where Kano’s trying to get with the coding wand. “We broke our first month pre-order target in one day,” he says of that forthcoming e-product (RRP ~$130). “There was massive coverage, massive traffic on our site, it was picked up all over the place and we’re very happy with the pre-orders so far. As are our retail partners.” The Potter co-branding play is certainly Kano trying to make its products cast a wider spell by expanding the appeal of coding from nerdy makers to more mainstream child consumers. But how successful that will be remains to be seen. Not least because we’ve seen this sort of tactic elsewhere in this space. Sphero, for example, is now rolling back the other way — shifting away from Star Wars co-branded bots to a serious education push focused on bringing STEM robotics to schools. (Although Kano would doubtless say a programmable bot that rolls is not the same as a fully fledged kit computer that can run all manner of apps, including familiar and fashionable stuff like Minecraft and YouTube.) “We’re very pleased to see that this category that we created, with that Kickstarter campaign in 2013 — it’s become more than what some people initially feared it would be which was niche, maker ‘arcanery’; and it’s becoming a major consumer phenomenon,” he says. “This notion that people want to make their own technology, learn how to code and play in that way. And not just kids — people of all ages.” On the hard sales front, Klein isn’t breaking out numbers for Potter kit pre-sales at this stage. But says the various incarnations of its main computer kit have shipped ~360,000 units since September 2014. So it’s not Lego (which has also moved into programmable kits) — but it’s not bad either. In recent years Kano has also branched out into offering Internet of Things kits, previewing three code-your-own connected devices in 2016 — and launching Kickstarter campaigns to get the products to market. It’s since shipped one ( the Pixel kit ) but the other two (a build-it-yourself camera kit and a DIY speaker) remain delayed — leaving crowdfunder backers waiting for their hardware. Why the delay? Have Kano’s priorities shifted — perhaps because it’s focusing efforts on cobranded products (like the Potter wand) vs creating more of its own standalone devices? “We are still committed to shipping the speaker kit, the camera kit,” Klein tells TechCrunch. “A big reason for [the delay] is not only the fact that the company is in a position now where we have mass distribution, we have great partners — perennially testing new product ideas — and we want to make sure that products are going to resonate with, not just a small group of people but many, many people, of many different age groups and interests before we release them.” He also points out that any backers of the two devices who want refunds can get them in full. Though he also says some are choosing to wait — adding that Kano remains committed to shipping the devices, and saying for those that do wait there will be a few extra bells and whistles than originally specced out in the crowdfunder campaign. The delay itself looks like the market (and consumer tastes) moving quicker than Kano predicted — and so it finds itself wishing its products could deliver more than it originally planned (but without a wand to wave to instantly achieve that). This is also a pitfall with previewing anything months or years ahead of time, of course. But the expense and complexity of building hardware makes crowdfunding platforms attractive — even for a relatively established brand like Kano. “The delay is really unfortunate,” he adds. “We did say they would ship earlier but what we have done is we’ve offered any backer a full refund on the camera and the speaker if they don’t want to wait. But if they do wait they will receive incredible camera, incredible speaker. Both of them are going to benefit from the advancements made in low cost computing in the last year. “The speaker as well is going to have elements that weren’t even part of the original campaign. On our side it’s critical that we get those products absolutely right and that they feel mass, and that they demystify not only coding and the Internet of Things, which was part of the original purpose, but in the case of the camera and the speaker there are elements that have come to the fore in more recent months like voice interaction and image recognition that we feel if our mandate is to demystify technology and we’re shipping a camera and a speaker… that’s kind of part of it. Make it perfect, make it of the moment. And for any backer who doesn’t want to wait for that, no problem at all — we’ll refund you 100%.” Beyond reworking its approach with those perhaps overly ambitious connected devices, Kano has additional release plans in its pipeline — with Klein mentioning that additional co-branded products will be coming next year. He says Kano is also eyeing expanding into more markets. “There’s a significant market for Kano even beyond our traditional leading position amongst 6-13 year olds in the US and the UK. There’s a really strong market for people who are beyond the US and the UK and we’re now at a scale where we can start really investing in these distribution and localization relationships that have come our way since year one,” he says. And he at least entertains the idea of a future Kano device that does away with a keyboard entirely — and goes all in on touch — when we suggest it. “Would we move to a place where we have no keyboard in a Kano computer? I think it’s very possible,” he says. “It might be a different form factor, it might be smaller, it might fit in your pocket, it might have connectivity — that kind of stuff.” Which sort of sounds like Kano’s thinking about making a DIY smartphone. If so, you heard it here first. The five and a half year old London-based startup is not yet profitable but Klein flags growth he dubs “fast enough” (noting it doubled sales year-over-year last year, a “trend” he says continued in the first half of this year), before adding: “It’s not impossible for us to get to profitability. We have a lot of optionality. But at the moment we are making investments — in software, in team — we have partner products coming out like Harry, we’ll have more coming out next year. So in terms of absolute positive EBITDA not yet but we are profitable on a units basis.” Kano closed a $28M Series B last year — and has raised some $44.5M in all at this stage, according to Crunchbase. Is it raising more funding now? “I think any entrepreneur who is looking to do something big is always in some sense keeping an eye out for sources of capital,” replies Klein. “As well as sources of talent.” He points by way of a connected aside to this study of C-suite execs , carried out by Stripe and Harris poll, which found that access to software developers is a bigger constraint than access to capital, saying: “I read that and I thought that that gap — between the 1% of 1% who can develop software or hardware and the rest of us — is exactly the challenge that Kano set out to solve from a consumer and education perspective.” “In terms of fundraising we do get a lot of inbound, we have great investors at the moment,” he adds. “We do know that the scale of this particular challenge — which is demystify technology, become synonymous with learning to code and making your own computers — that requires significant support and we’ll be continuing to keep our eyes out as we grow.”

Para los que visteis el artículo ffmpeg Optimizar vídeos para iPad en Plex al final os dejé un adelanto de lo que sería la comparativa: Raspberry Pi vs Orange Pi

Como podéis ver en el gráfico el PC Core i5 se lleva a todas de calle, pero si os fijáis veréis que las Orange Pi tienen ventaja sobre las Raspberry Pi de igual generación.

Así que les pasé la batería de test que llevo haciendo desde que la vi en un post de otro desarrollador. Las podéis ver de más recientes a más antiguos:

Comparativa y primeros pasos con openSUSE en Raspberry Pi

Comparativa y benchmarks de Raspberry Pi vs ODROID vs Orange Pi vs más

Comparativa de todas las Raspberry – sysbench

sysbench | Raspberry Pi vs ODROID vs Banana PRO

sysbench | Raspberry Pi 2

sysbench – comparativa Raspberry Pi contra todos

He repetido solo los de CPU y Memoria, ya que los otros dos que hacía testaban las microSD y era un poco absurdo. He usado:

Raspbian Stretch actualizado a Noviembre de 2017 en las dos Raspberry Pi

armbian actualizado a Noviembre de 2017 en las dos Orange Pi

sysbench CPU

El comando es el siguiente, donde --num-threads=X se cambia la X por 1, 2, 3 o 4 para hacer cada test:

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=X run`

sysbech CPU 1 core 2 cores 3 cores 4 cores Raspberry Pi 2 268,5326 133,8874 89,1827 67,0471 Raspberry Pi 3 – 64bits 182,5095 92,2368 60,8635 45,6987 l Orange Pi PC 163,7737 81,7292 54,5443 41,4606 Orange Pi PC2 – 64bits 12,8638 7,4148 4,2878 4,08883

sysbench MEM

El comando es el siguiente, donde --num-threads=X se cambia la X por 1, 2, 3 o 4 para hacer cada test:

sysbench --test=memory --memory-block-size=1M --memory-total-size=10G --num-threads=x run`

sysbench MEM 1 core 2 cores 3 cores 4 cores Raspberry Pi 2 8,595 6,86 6,964 6,752 Raspberry Pi 3 – 64bits 5,481 3,689 3,6905 3,5265 Orange Pi PC 6,549 3,612 3,137 3,1075 Orange Pi PC2 – 64bits 6,0151 2,695 2,1953 2,0351

Os pongo algunos pantallazos de los test corriendo en las Orange Pi

CONCLUSIÓN: la Orange Pi PC 2 es un rival de peso. En potencia bruta es la mejor, la red Gigabit es mejor y los USB directos son más rápidos. Le falta Wi-Fi, Bluetooth y drivers para usarla como media center o emulador para retro gaming. Y por supuesto estás limitado en el software disponible y los periféricos para proyectos.

Igualmente, la Orange Pi PC normal también ofrece un rendimiento comparable o superior. Tiene las mismas carencias que la Orange Pi PC 2 y hay que restar el Gigabit y los 64bits, pero si cuenta con drivers de vídeo acelerado para una versión de OpenElec y está soportada por Lakka.tv para emulación y retrogaming.

Raspberry Pi vs Orange Pi 2017 Para los que visteis el artículo ffmpeg Optimizar vídeos para iPad en Plex al final os dejé un adelanto de lo que sería la comparativa: …

#allwinner #benchmark #comparativa #cortex a5 #cortex a53 #cortex a7 #cortex a9 #orange pi #orange pi pc #orange pi pc2 #quad core #raspberry pi 2 #raspberry pi 3 #raspberry pi vs orange pi #raspberrypi vs orangepi #sysbench #test

Kanos latest computer kit for kids doubles down on touch

New Post has been published on https://computerguideto.com/must-see/kanos-latest-computer-kit-for-kids-doubles-down-on-touch/

Kanos latest computer kit for kids doubles down on touch

Learn-to-code startup Kano, whose products aim to turn kids into digital makers, has taken the wraps off the latest incarnation of its build-it-yourself computer kit.

With the new flagship Kano is doubling down on touch interactions — urging kids to “make your own tablet”. The Computer Kit Touch packs a 10.1″ HD touchscreen, along with Kano’s now familiar bright orange wireless keyboard which comes with a built in trackpad.

The kit, which Kano says is generally (but not exclusively) aimed at the 6-13 age range, is on sale from today, priced at $279.99 — via its website (Kano.me), as well as from selected retailers and e-tailers.

The Raspberry Pi powered computer is also getting increased storage capacity in this upgrade — of 16GB. But the main refresh is around updating Kano OS, Kano’s kid-friendly Pi topper, with expanded support for touch controls, according to founder Alex Klein .

Last year Kano combined touch and keyboard based interaction into a single product, the Computer Kit Complete — calling that a DIY laptop.

The 2018 refreshed version looks much the same, with enhancements generally behind the scenes and/or under the hood.

“The big moves this year are advancing the software and content ecosystem,” says Klein. “How it’s all integrated together.”

He points to another coding kit the team has up for pre-order, slated to ship next month — a co-branded Harry Potter gizmo in which kids get to build a motion-sensitive “coding wand” and use it to cook up their own digital spells, helped along by Kano’s software — adding: “With the Potter kit we’re bringing Kano code — to create a system, the ability to blend and change physics engines and sounds and particle systems — to tablets. So we’ve now got a touch-based interaction model for that e-product, as well as mouse and keyboard, and so we’ve brought that software system now to the Computer Kit Touch.

“You can code by dragging and dropping blocks with your fingers, you can paint and draw. You can change the pitch of a loop or a melody by running your fingers up and down and then using a change of a parameter mess with how quickly that melody changes, mess with the number of layers, you can make a beat or a loop using a touch-based digital audio workstation style X-Y plane. You can go into any one of our creative coding apps and pull in touch-based interactions, so instead of just using a mouse, a click and point, you can make an app that responds to swipes and taps, and different speeds, and in different locations.”

“On the touch kit itself there’s also a set of new content that demystifies how touchscreens work and peels back the layer of the screen and shows you what’s behind, and you’re kind of touching the intersection of the different copper wires and seeing what’s happening beneath,” he adds.

“There’s obviously a big hardware upgrade with the new ability to touch it, to take it with you. We’ve refined a lot of the components, we’ve improved the speed, the battery life. But really the core of it is this upgraded software that integrates with all the other kit.”

Talking of other kit, the learn-to-code space is now awash with quasi-educational gizmos, leaving parents in Western markets spoiled for choice of what to buy a budding coder.

Many more of these gizmos will be unboxed as we head into the holiday season. And while Kano was something of a startup pioneer here — a category creator, as Klein tells it — there’s now no shortage of tech for kids promising some kind of STEM-based educational benefit. So it’s facing an ever-growing gaggle of competition.

Kano’s strategy to stand out in an increasingly contested space is to fix on familiar elements, says Stein — flagging for example the popular game Minecraft — which runs on the Kano kit, and for which there’s a whole subsection of the Kano World community given over to hacking Minecraft.

And, well, aside from block-headed Minecraft characters it’s hard to find a character more familiar to children than the fictional wizard Harry Potter. So you can certainly see where Kano’s trying to get with the coding wand.

“We broke our first month pre-order target in one day,” he says of that forthcoming e-product (RRP ~$130). “There was massive coverage, massive traffic on our site, it was picked up all over the place and we’re very happy with the pre-orders so far. As are our retail partners.”

The Potter co-branding play is certainly Kano trying to make its products cast a wider spell by expanding the appeal of coding from nerdy makers to more mainstream child consumers. But how successful that will be remains to be seen. Not least because we’ve seen this sort of tactic elsewhere in this space.

Sphero, for example, is now rolling back the other way — shifting away from Star Wars co-branded bots to a serious education push focused on bringing STEM robotics to schools. (Although Kano would doubtless say a programmable bot that rolls is not the same as a fully fledged kit computer that can run all manner of apps, including familiar and fashionable stuff like Minecraft and YouTube.)

“We’re very pleased to see that this category that we created, with that Kickstarter campaign in 2013 — it’s become more than what some people initially feared it would be which was niche, maker ‘arcanery’; and it’s becoming a major consumer phenomenon,” he says. “This notion that people want to make their own technology, learn how to code and play in that way. And not just kids — people of all ages.”

On the hard sales front, Klein isn’t breaking out numbers for Potter kit pre-sales at this stage. But says the various incarnations of its main computer kit have shipped ~360,000 units since September 2014. So it’s not Lego (which has also moved into programmable kits) — but it’s not bad either.

In recent years Kano has also branched out into offering Internet of Things kits, previewing three code-your-own connected devices in 2016 — and launching Kickstarter campaigns to get the products to market.

It’s since shipped one (the Pixel kit) but the other two (a build-it-yourself camera kit and a DIY speaker) remain delayed — leaving crowdfunder backers waiting for their hardware.

Why the delay? Have Kano’s priorities shifted — perhaps because it’s focusing efforts on cobranded products (like the Potter wand) vs creating more of its own standalone devices?

“We are still committed to shipping the speaker kit, the camera kit,” Klein tells TechCrunch. “A big reason for [the delay] is not only the fact that the company is in a position now where we have mass distribution, we have great partners — perennially testing new product ideas — and we want to make sure that products are going to resonate with, not just a small group of people but many, many people, of many different age groups and interests before we release them.”

He also points out that any backers of the two devices who want refunds can get them in full.

Though he also says some are choosing to wait — adding that Kano remains committed to shipping the devices, and saying for those that do wait there will be a few extra bells and whistles than originally specced out in the crowdfunder campaign.

The delay itself looks like the market (and consumer tastes) moving quicker than Kano predicted — and so it finds itself wishing its products could deliver more than it originally planned (but without a wand to wave to instantly achieve that).

This is also a pitfall with previewing anything months or years ahead of time, of course. But the expense and complexity of building hardware makes crowdfunding platforms attractive — even for a relatively established brand like Kano.

“The delay is really unfortunate,” he adds. “We did say they would ship earlier but what we have done is we’ve offered any backer a full refund on the camera and the speaker if they don’t want to wait. But if they do wait they will receive incredible camera, incredible speaker. Both of them are going to benefit from the advancements made in low cost computing in the last year.

“The speaker as well is going to have elements that weren’t even part of the original campaign. On our side it’s critical that we get those products absolutely right and that they feel mass, and that they demystify not only coding and the Internet of Things, which was part of the original purpose, but in the case of the camera and the speaker there are elements that have come to the fore in more recent months like voice interaction and image recognition that we feel if our mandate is to demystify technology and we’re shipping a camera and a speaker… that’s kind of part of it. Make it perfect, make it of the moment. And for any backer who doesn’t want to wait for that, no problem at all — we’ll refund you 100%.”

Beyond reworking its approach with those perhaps overly ambitious connected devices, Kano has additional release plans in its pipeline — with Klein mentioning that additional co-branded products will be coming next year.

He says Kano is also eyeing expanding into more markets. “There’s a significant market for Kano even beyond our traditional leading position amongst 6-13 year olds in the US and the UK. There’s a really strong market for people who are beyond the US and the UK and we’re now at a scale where we can start really investing in these distribution and localization relationships that have come our way since year one,” he says.

And he at least entertains the idea of a future Kano device that does away with a keyboard entirely — and goes all in on touch — when we suggest it.

“Would we move to a place where we have no keyboard in a Kano computer? I think it’s very possible,” he says. “It might be a different form factor, it might be smaller, it might fit in your pocket, it might have connectivity — that kind of stuff.”

Which sort of sounds like Kano’s thinking about making a DIY smartphone. If so, you heard it here first.

The five and a half year old London-based startup is not yet profitable but Klein flags growth he dubs “fast enough” (noting it doubled sales year-over-year last year, a “trend” he says continued in the first half of this year), before adding: “It’s not impossible for us to get to profitability. We have a lot of optionality. But at the moment we are making investments — in software, in team — we have partner products coming out like Harry, we’ll have more coming out next year. So in terms of absolute positive EBITDA not yet but we are profitable on a units basis.”

Kano closed a $28M Series B last year — and has raised some $44.5M in all at this stage, according to Crunchbase. Is it raising more funding now? “I think any entrepreneur who is looking to do something big is always in some sense keeping an eye out for sources of capital,” replies Klein. “As well as sources of talent.”

He points by way of a connected aside to this study of C-suite execs, carried out by Stripe and Harris poll, which found that access to software developers is a bigger constraint than access to capital, saying: “I read that and I thought that that gap — between the 1% of 1% who can develop software or hardware and the rest of us — is exactly the challenge that Kano set out to solve from a consumer and education perspective.”

“In terms of fundraising we do get a lot of inbound, we have great investors at the moment,” he adds. “We do know that the scale of this particular challenge — which is demystify technology, become synonymous with learning to code and making your own computers — that requires significant support and we’ll be continuing to keep our eyes out as we grow.”
