Spring Modulith: have we reached modularity maturity? |
https://dev.to/nfrankel/spring-modulith-have-we-reached-modularity-maturity-2id0
|
Spring Modulith have we reached modularity maturity One of the main reasons to design microservices is that they enforce strong module boundaries However the cons of microservices are so huge that it s like chopping off your right hand to learn to write with the left one there are more manageable and less painful ways to achieve the same result Even since the microservices craze started some cooler heads have prevailed In particular Oliver Drotbohm a developer on the Spring framework has been a long time proponent of the moduliths alternative The idea is to keep a monolith but design it around modules Many flocks to microservices because the application they work on resembles a spaghetti platter If their application were better designed the pull of microservices wouldn t be so strong Why modularity Modularity is a way to reduce the impact of change on a codebase It s very similar to how one designs big ships When water continuously leaks into a ship the latter generally sinks because of the decreasing Archimedes thrust To avoid a single leak sinking the ship it s designed around multiple watertight compartments If one leak happens it s contained in a single compartment While it s not ideal it prevents the ship from sinking allowing it to reroute to the nearest port where one can repair it Modularity works similarly it puts boundaries around parts of the code This way the effect of a change is limited to the part and doesn t spread beyond its boundaries In Java such parts are known as packages The parallel with ships stops there because packages must work together to achieve the desired results Packages cannot be watertight The Java language provides visibility modifiers to work across package boundaries Interestingly the most famous one public allows crossing packages entirely Designing boundaries that follow the principle of least privilege is a constant effort Chances are that under the project s pressure in the initial development or with time during maintenance the effort will slip and boundaries will decay We need a more advanced way to enforce boundaries Modules modules everywhereIn the long history of Java modules have been a solution to enforce boundaries The thing is there are many definitions of what a module is even today OSGI started in aimed to provide versioned components that could be safely deployed and undeployed at runtime It kept the JAR deployment unit but added metadata in its manifest OSGi was powerful but developing an OSGi bundle the name for a module was complex Developers paid a higher development cost while the operation team enjoyed the deployment benefits DevOps had yet to be born it didn t make OSGi as popular as it could have been In parallel Java s architects searched for their path to modularizing the JDK The approach is much simpler compared to OSGI as it avoids deployment and versioning concerns Java modules introduced in Java limit themselves to the following data a name a public API and dependencies to other modules Java modules worked well for the JDK but much less for applications because of a chicken and egg problem To be helpful to applications developers must modularize libraries not relying on auto modules But library developers would do it only if enough application developers would use it Last time I checked only half of commons libraries were modularized On the build side I need to cite Maven modules They allow splitting one s code into multiple projects There are other module systems on the JVM but these three are the most well known A tentative approach to enforce boundariesAs mentioned above microservices provide the ultimate boundary during development and deployment They are overkill in most cases On the other side there s no denying that projects rot over time Even the most beautifully crafted one which values modularity is bound to become a mess without constant care We need rules to enforce boundaries and they need to be treated like tests when tests fail one must fix them Likewise when one breaks a rule one must fix it ArchUnit is a tool to create and enforce rules One configures the rules and verifies them as tests Unfortunately the configuration is time consuming and must constantly be maintained to provide value Here s a snippet for a sample application following the Hexagonal architecture principle HexagonalArchitecture boundedContext io reflectoring buckpal account withDomainLayer domain withAdaptersLayer adapter incoming in web outgoing out persistence and withApplicationLayer application services service incomingPorts port in outgoingPorts port out and withConfiguration configuration check new ClassFileImporter importPackages io reflectoring buckpal Note that the HexagonalArchitecture class is a custom made DSL façade over the ArchUnit API Overall ArchUnit is better than nothing but only marginally so Its main benefit is automation via tests It would significantly improve if the architectural rules could be automatically inferred That s the idea behind the Spring Modulith project Spring ModulithSpring Modulith is the successor of Oliver Drotbohm s Moduliths project with a trailing S It uses both ArchUnit and jMolecules At the time of this writing it s experimental Spring Modulith allows Documenting the relationships between the packages of a projectRestricting certain relationshipsTesting the restrictions during in testsIt requires that one s application uses the Spring Framework it leverages the latter s understanding of the former obtained through DI assembly By default a Modulith module is a package located at the same level as the SpringBootApplication annotated class ch frankel blog DummyApplication packagex subpackagex packagey packagez subpackagez Application classModulith moduleNot a moduleBy default a module can access the content of any other module but cannot access Spring Modulith offers to generate text based diagrams based on PlantUML with UML or C default skins The generation is easy as pie var modules ApplicationModules of DummyApplication class new Documenter modules writeModulesAsPlantUml To break the build if a module accesses a regular package call the verify method in a test var modules ApplicationModules of DummyApplication class verify A sample to play withI ve created a sample app to play with it emulates the home page of an online shop The home page is generated server side with Thymeleaf and displays catalog items and a newsfeed The latter is also accessible via an HTTP API for client side calls that I was too lazy to code Items are displayed with a price thus requiring a pricing service Each feature page catalog newsfeed and pricing sits in a package which is viewed as a Spring module Spring Modulith s documenting feature generates the following Let s check the design of the pricing feature The current design has two issues The PricingRepository is accessible outside of the moduleThe PricingService leaks the Pricing JPA entityWe shall fix the design by encapsulating types that shouldn t be exposed We move the Pricing and PricingRepository types into an internal subfolder of the pricing module If we call the verify method it throws and breaks the build because Pricing is not accessible from outside the pricing module Module home depends on non exposed type ch frankel blog pricing internal Pricing within module pricing Let s fix the violations with the following changes ConclusionBy toying with a sample application I did like Spring Modulith I can see two prominent use cases documenting an existing application and keeping the design clean The latter avoids the rot effect of applications over time This way we can keep the design as intended and avoid the spaghetti effect The icing on the cake it s great when we need to chop one or more features to their deployment unit It will be a very straightforward move with no time wasted to untangle dependencies Spring Modulith provides a huge benefit delay every impactful architectural decision until the last possible moment Thanks Oliver Drotbohm for his review You can find the source code on GitHub ajavageek spring modulith sample

Three Things I x ve Learned About Writing AbstractsRecently I ve joined the developer advocate team at Confluent which is full of highly experienced speakers who have mentored me as I craft abstracts I ll be honest when I began writing abstracts I thought How hard can this be I ve written plenty of blog posts technical articles and the occasional haiku Abstracts will come naturally Reader they did not The art of writing and fine tuning abstracts is challenging but learn able Luckily I ve gained a lot of knowledge from my teammates and now I feel a lot more comfortable with writing abstracts I wrote this post to hand on a few of the things I ve learned Connect with your audience in the first sentence Let s start with this abstract that I ve written up for the purpose of this blog post Come to my talk about choosing React frameworks We ll learn how and why to choose the framework that suits your web development needs You ll learn criteria for choosing a web development framework and how to apply them By the end of my talk you ll know more about the React ecosystem and have the tools to get the job done The first sentence Come to my talk about choosing React frameworks is a nice invitation but it doesn t really hook the reader In order to connect with the audience it s a good idea to start by mentioning their pain point In this example a good first few sentences might be more like the following The number of React frameworks in recent years has reached an overwhelming height Social media debates run fierce There s only one consensus choosing the right framework for the job is of paramount importance But how exactly do we pick a framework Position your pronouns thoughtfully Take a look at the abstract once more The number of React frameworks in recent years has reached an overwhelming height Social media debates run fierce There s only one consensus choosing the right framework for the job is of paramount importance But how exactly do we pick a framework We ll learn how and why to choose the framework that suits your web development needs You ll learn criteria for choosing a web development framework and how to apply them By the end of my talk you ll know more about the React ecosystem and have the tools to get the job done There s we you and my here Consistency is key in all writing but for talks you might choose we over other options to reflect a sense of camaraderie with the audience Let your solution for the audience s pain point be clear Currently the solution that the speaker offers is vague We ll learn how and why to choose the framework that suits your web development needs We ll learn criteria for choosing a web development framework and how to apply them By the end of the talk we ll know more about the React ecosystem and have the tools to get the job done In fact all you can really tell is that the speaker is offering some kind of solution There are no hints as to what it might be Here s a better way to express the speaker s intention We ll distill the criteria for selecting a React framework into three crucial questions Then we ll walk through a few use cases together to garner some experience making these decisions What does the decision making process look like for building static portfolio sites large e commerce sites and mobile game apps By the end we ll feel ready to critically appraise React frameworks familiar or unfamiliar for our own projects This gives some detail three crucial questions and the use cases without giving everything away It also communicates the value to the audience a confidence in their choice of framework Now the whole abstract reads The number of React frameworks in recent years has reached an overwhelming height Social media debates run fierce There s only one consensus choosing the right framework for the job is of paramount importance But how exactly do we pick a framework We ll distill the criteria for selecting a React framework into three fundamental questions Then we ll walk through a few real life use cases together to garner some experience making these decisions What does the decision making process look like for building static portfolio sites large e commerce sites and mobile game apps By the end we ll feel ready to critically appraise React frameworks familiar or unfamiliar for our own projects I think this version sounds a lot more interesting and clear don t you |

Black market fears are hampering cannabis waste recycling efforts in California |
https://www.engadget.com/cannabis-pod-e-waste-recycling-california-163017433.html?src=rss

Black market fears are hampering cannabis waste recycling efforts in CaliforniaAs American cannabis has grown from cottage industry to billion a year commercial enterprise that employs folks nationwide the product that weed has become now often bears little resemblance from the product that used to be sold raw Flower once delivered in sandwich bags now arrives wrapped in child safety locked plastic lined mylar pouches every gram of hash seemingly needs its own glass jar plastic lid and cardboard box and half gram vape pens must often be dug from three times their own weight in display and security packaging before use And while most of the outer packaging can be easily recycled vaporizer cartridges themselves can be far more problematic to dispose of Cannabis is more popular than ever in the US ー percent of adults have access to it either medically or recreationally more than percent of adults support its full legalization and a Weedmaps survey suggests that usage has increased by percent since the start of the pandemic What s more edibles and concentrates continue to rise in popularity among all age groups from boomers to doomers This increased demand for vape cartridges ーboth near ubiquitous threads like those from Rove or more specialized carts like the Pax Era Pods ーhas led to their increased production and in turn their inevitable arrival in American landfills In California the nation s largest legal cannabis market cartridges are quite popular but due to the state s strict hazardous waste disposal regulations difficult to dispose of in a responsible manner On the production side virtually every ingredient component growth medium nutrient castoff trimming and scrap is carefully destroyed typically either dismantled on site or rendered unusable before being shipped to a certified waste facility At the cultivation level Taylor Vozniak Sales and Marketing Manager for California cannabis waste management company Gaiaca told Engadget “it would be plants after they ve been trimmed grow medium ーthat s either going to be soil or rock wool or cocoa husk ーany sort of water nutrients or pesticides At the manufacturing stage the company handles post production green waste think mashed up stems and leaves as well as hazardous waste like concentrate solvents and failed edible product batches like misshapen canna gummies or burned weed brownies ーthe latter must be destroyed on site to stay within bounds of the California Cannabis Track and Trace CCTT system operated by the state s Department of Cannabis Control The CCTT extends to the point of sale meaning that local dispensaries are responsible for seeing returned product and defective merchandise properly destroyed “Single use batteries have been a big sticking point for a while now Vozniak said “We re proud that we can recycle those vape batteries either with or without cannabis As it turns out much of the underlying impetus for the creation of the CCTT system Vozniak notes is to prevent this waste from being illicitly harvested and resold “The overarching way these regulations were written the way they were is to prevent any sort of product going into the black market he noted which is why cannabis by products which is what all the stuff above is considered has to be rendered into inert “waste before it gets put in the ground It s also why your local dispensary doesn t have a drop off bin for used cartridges Products are handled slightly differently depending on whether they re THC or CBD based “CBD is federally legal Vozniak said ーso that it can be transported across state lines for disposal “while THC is state by state regulated A lot of the time you ll see especially in California CBD destroyed on site but I have a client in Dallas who I ve been able to just take their product as is off site to a disposal facility The materials that can be directly recycled or composted will be The six month composting process is sufficient to leach out and fully decay any leftover THC before the material is repackaged and sold as a gardening amendment Less sustainable materials like used nitrile gloves non recyclable or food contaminated packaging will instead be routed to local landfills and incinerators But not vape cartridges Those along with the Li ion batteries that power them are considered e waste in California so there s a litany of additional regulatory hurdles to jump through before throwing one away “What ends up happening is you ll be able to take used carts and batteries to a recycling vendor for a while Vozniak said until “they realize it s a difficult product to deal with so we ll have to find new vendors MediaNews Group Reading Eagle via Getty Images via Getty ImagesThe difficulty with recycling cartridges lies in their complex construction and mix of materials ーwoven cloth wicks and aluminum atomizers sealed by plastic walls with rubber o rings keeping the viscous liquid in place You can t very well clean sort and disassemble these items by hand as e waste they re sorted cleaned and then repeatedly mechanically shredded and resorted into progressively smaller chunks until they re reduced and separated into their constituent materials Vape pen batteries both rechargeable and single use all in one varieties go through a similar process Vizniak explains They re first statically separated by density then dipped into liquid nitrogen to instantly freeze and deactivate the lithium ion cells before they re pulverized with mechanical hammers and further sorted for commodity sale If that seems like a whole lot of work for such tiny devices you re not wrong Despite the legal cannabis industry in California existing for less than a decade much of the verbiage of Prop is already falling out of relevance “When things were first written there was a lack of understanding of how the cannabis industry would end up operating Vozniak said He points to all in one AIO pen battery disposal as one such example “We still have to destroy these products on site ーand I understand the concern there they state regulators don t want anything going to the black market ーbut for these all in one pens there really is no way to destroy them without putting the operators at risk he continued “A lot of times operators are going to try to destroy these products themselves because Gaica can be on the more expensive side just because of the nature of what we do It s very labor intensive Vozniak has seen cannabis retailers encase old AIOs in blocks of resin to deactivate them ーwhole drums of resin ensconced lithium batteries that no recycler would ever take ーin order to comply with the state s “destroy on site order Vozniak argues that a basic exemption to that rule specifically for cannabis e waste could “really help the industry out because that s really what I m seeing most ーout of state as well In addition to contacting their district and state representatives to advocate for regulatory amendments vape pen users looking to reduce their consumption footprints have a number of options Refillable cartridges are a thing ーthey operate just as the single use canisters from the dispensary do but have a screw on lid for injecting fresh oil ーsuch as the Flacko Jodye from KandyPens the SPRK ceramic from PCKT an all in one kit from Kiara Naturals or the Puffco Plus Maintaining and cleaning refillable tanks is straightforward and they can easily be topped off using a dab syringe from either your local dispensary or friendly neighborhood drug dealer if you prefer a more homebrewed product

The best immersion blenders you can buy in 2022 |
https://www.engadget.com/best-immersion-blenders-150006296.html?src=rss

The best immersion blenders you can buy in Back in the s and s immersion blenders were often restricted to high end restaurants and the kitchens of nerdy home cooks But thanks to improvements in tech these types of blenders also known as hand or stick blenders have become powerful and affordable general purpose cooking gadgets especially for people who might not have the space for a traditional countertop model Unfortunately picking the best immersion blender can get a bit confusing so here s a guide covering the important things you need to consider along with our favorite devices across a handful of categories Engadget s picksBest wired immersion blender Breville Control GripBest cordless immersion blender KitchenAid Cordless Variable Speed Hand BlenderBest budget immersion blender Hamilton Beach Speed Hand BlenderWhich device is right for you Before you even think about buying a new kitchen gadget it s important to figure out how you re going to use it and where it fits in with any appliances you already own In an ideal world everyone would have a dedicated food processor countertop blender and a stand mixer But the reality is that many people don t have the room or the budget img alt Engadget s favorite immersion blenders are the Breville Control Grip the KitchenAid Cordless Variable Speed Hand Blender and the Hamilton Beach Speed Hand Blender src Sam Rutherford Engadget While immersion blenders and traditional countertop models have a lot of overlap there are strengths and weaknesses to both For example if you re looking to make smoothies every day a countertop blender might be a better choice The bigger pitchers make it easier to blend drinks for multiple people at once while larger motors will make short work of ice and frozen fruit Additionally more expensive options like those from Vitamix or Robocoupe can even cook soup during the blending process using the heat generated from the blender s motor which isn t something you can do with an immersion model I d even go so far as to say that if you have the space for it and don t own a blender of any kind a countertop version is probably the best option for most people That said immersion blenders are often less expensive and thanks to a wide variety of accessories offered by some manufacturers they can be great multitaskers A whisk attachment allows you to make whipped cream or meringues quickly without needing an electric hand mixer or risk getting tendonitis in your elbow doing it manually Some immersion blenders also come with food processing bowls so you can easily throw together things like a homemade pesto in minutes And because immersion blenders are smaller and less bulky than traditional models they re a great choice for apartment dwellers or anyone with limited storage or counter space That means if you re simply trying to expand your culinary repertoire without blowing up your budget an immersion blender can be a great way to try something new without committing too hard Corded or cordless Similar to figuring out if you should get a blender or not trying to decide between a corded or cordless model depends a lot on the other gadgets you already own Corded versions typically have more powerful motors which makes them great for people who don t have a countertop blender or food processor But if you do own one of both of those cordless is the way to go Not only do you get the convenience of not worrying about wires but the ease of use makes it fast and easy to whip out your immersion blender to add some extra texture to a soup or sauce A quick word about safety Sam Rutherford Engadget No one should be ashamed of being nervous around a device that is essentially a motorized blending wand with a spinning blade at the end But with proper care and use an immersion blender doesn t have to be much more dangerous than a chef s knife The most important safety tip is to make sure you always keep the sharp end pointed down and away from you or anyone else nearby That includes your hands along with any utensils like a spoon that might be in or around your mixing bowl Thankfully all consumer immersion blenders are designed to prevent their blade from directly hitting the vessel holding your food be it a mixing bowl or a pot However to be extra safe you should avoid blending things in glass containers or non stick cookware as glass can chip or shatter while the metal blades and shroud of an immersion blender can damage teflon and ceramic Sam Rutherford Engadget You ll also want to make sure you keep water away from the plug or outlet of corded immersion blenders And if you want to remove the blade or clear away any food that might have gotten tangled first make sure the blender is off and disconnected from its power source either its battery or wall socket On the bright side cleaning an immersion is rather simple and straightforward All you have to do is fill up a bowl or cup with soapy water submerge the immersion blender and then run it for to seconds That s it If it s still not clean you can repeat that process again until it is And if that s too much work the blending wand on a lot of models including all of the gadgets on this list are dishwasher safe too Best wired immersion blender Breville Control GripStarting at Breville s Control Grip not only has one of the most powerful motors watts available on a corded immersion blender in this price range it also comes with a wealth of handy accessories In addition to the main inch shaft immersion blade the kit features a ounce chopping bowl for cutting and mincing and a ounce blending jug for making soups and smoothies There s also a whisk attachment which means that between all of its accessories the Control Grip can take the place of three different common kitchen gadgets a food processor traditional blender and hand mixer I also appreciate the two button attachment system which ensures accessories are properly locked in before use Breville even includes a removable blade guard to help prevent the blender from scratching your other appliances in storage And with support for different speed settings there s a lot of flexibility to handle all sorts of dishes Alternatively if you re looking for an all purpose immersion blender with even more attachments for making drinks and pureeing soup you may want to consider KitchenAid s Speed Hand Blender which comes with two extra bell blades to help crush ice whisk egg whites and more Best cordless immersion blender KitchenAid Cordless Variable Speed Hand BlenderIf you just want an immersion blender that s simple and easy to use KitchenAid s Cordless Variable Speed Blender is the one to get It comes with a dishwasher safe blending jar and an optional pan guard to help ensure you won t nick your cookware However the real nifty feature is that instead of having discrete speed settings you can adjust the blender s watt motor simply by squeezing down on the trigger This makes using it incredibly intuitive and thanks to its built in safety switch it s much more difficult to spin up the blade by accident KitchenAid also claims the battery can blend up to bowls of soup on a single charge And while my kitchen is too small to test this properly I never ran into any issues That said you re going to want to make sure to top off its battery beforehand because its charging port is next to where you attach the blending arm which means you can t have it plugged in while it s running Best budget immersion blender Hamilton Beach Speed Hand BlenderFor those who want something that s versatile and a great value Hamilton Beach s Speed Hand Blender is a great pick While it isn t cordless in addition to the main blending arm you also get a whisk attachment and a chopping bowl all for just On top of that its watt motor is rather powerful for its price though you don t get as many speed settings as you would on more premium rivals With this thing having been on the market for more than years this blender has long been a top choice among budget conscious cooks |

Accelerate innovation in life sciences with Google CloudThe last few years have underscored the importance of speed in bringing new drugs and medical devices to market while ensuring safety and efficacy Over this time healthcare and life sciences organizations have transformed the way they research develop and deliver patient care by embracing agility and innovation Now the industry is set to reap the benefits of cloud technology and overcome the existing barriers to innovation Watch a min overview of how Google Cloud helps life sciences accelerate innovation across the value chain What s holding back innovation Costly clinical trials The process of trialing and developing new drugs and devices is still long and costly with more than in clinical trials failing due to a lack of funding The high failure rate comes as no surprise when you consider the average clinical trial costs million and takes years through all phases to be approved Stringent security requirements Pre clinical R amp D and clinical trials use large volumes of highly sensitive patient data making the life sciences industry one of the top sectors targeted by hackers On top of this the FDA and other regulatory bodies have strict requirements for medical device cybersecurity Unpredictable supply chains Global supply chains are becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable This can be brought on by anything from supply shortages to geo political events and even bad weather Making things worse is the lack of visibility into medical shipment disruptions so when disaster strikes you re often caught off guard Google Cloud for life sciencesAt Alphabet we ve made significant investments in healthcare and life sciences helping to tackle the world s biggest healthcare problems from chronic disease management to precision medicine to protein folding Together with Google you can transform your life sciences organization and deliver secure data driven innovation across the value chain Accelerate clinical trials to deliver life saving treatments faster and at less cost Clinical trials require relevant and equitable patient cohorts that can produce clinically valid data Solutions like DocAI can enable optimal patient matching for clinical trials helping organizations optimize clinical trial selection and increase time to value How that patient data is collected is also important Collection in a physician s office captures a snapshot of the participant s data at one point in time and doesn t necessarily account for daily lifestyle variables Fitbit used in more than published studies more than any other wearable device can enrich clinical trial endpoints with new insights from longitudinal lifestyle data which can help improve patient retention and compliance with study protocols We have introduced Device Connect for Fitbit which empowers healthcare and life sciences enterprises with accelerated analytics and insights to help people live healthier lives We are able to empower organizations to improve clinical trials in key ways Enable clinical trial managers to quickly create and launch mobile and web RWE collection mechanism for patient reported
