A love story of Svelte and JSX 💖 |
https://dev.to/rajaniraiyn/a-love-story-of-svelte-and-jsx-13j
|
A love story of Svelte and JSX Anyone who is a web developer has come across Svelte and JSX at some point in their life Wait What are they and what is the love story between them In this blog post I will give you a brief introduction to them and tell you their secret affair which only very few know Svelte is a revolutionary technology in the web space Unlike other popular UI libraries and frameworks like React and Vue which use VDOM for UI Svelte is a compiler which compiles the svelte code into highly optimized vanilla JavaScript code On the other hand JSX is an extended version syntactic sugar of JavaScript originally proposed and used by the React team in their React library JSX enables us to write HTML like markup directly into JavaScript and makes things more simple than ever before Despite their divergent methods Svelte and JSX complement each other nicely For Svelte files in your editor the Svelte language tools and its VS Code extension offer capabilities like syntax highlighting formatting linting auto completion type checking and many more How do they do that By using JSX What am I talking about now Svelte is built completely differently from JSX but what s with my statement Actually many don t know that Svelte secretly uses borrows JSX features for its rich Developer Experience We all know that currently most of the code editors and IDEs provide auto completions and type checking out of the box We have a very strong and reliable type checking and auto completions in JavaScript and TypeScript thanks to the wonderful magic done by TypeScript In the initial stages of Svelte when it started getting some traction most of the developers who transitioned from other frameworks and libraries wanted to have those features in Svelte as well To maintain and increase their retention rate the Svelte team was cornered to make Svelte also have those features What they decided to use is quite clever Instead of building things from scratch they used lots of existing independent and separate open source projects into one single project for their language server One of such projects is halfnelson sveltetsx sveltetsx sveltetsx is a transpiler that transpiles Svelte code into a valid TypeScript code which is later consumed by the TypeScript language server Then finally we get our fancy type checking and auto completions But how does it work sveltetsx converts Svelte components to TSX TypeScript JSX for type checking The TSX can be type checked using the included svelte jsx d ts and svelte shims d ts files It also handles Svelte specific syntax such as reactive declarations stores slots etc sveltetsx is a core part of the Svelte language tools and its VS Code extension It enables features like syntax highlighting formatting linting diagnostics and more for Svelte files in your editorimport sveltetsx from sveltetsx const svelteCode lt script lang ts gt export let h boolean false lt script gt if h h is True else h is False if const code tsxCode sveltetsx svelteCode console log tsxCode lt reference types svelte gt lt gt lt gt function render let h boolean false h sveltets any h gt lt gt h lt gt h is True lt gt lt gt h is False lt gt lt gt return props h h slots getters events export default class extends createSvelteTsxComponent sveltets partial sveltets with any event render Play with this Svelte →TSX hereThis is a clever and inventive approach of giving Svelte IDE functionality without reinventing the wheel It also demonstrates how despite their seeming hostility Svelte and JSX can coexist together I hope this blog post has given you some interesting and fun insights into Svelte and JSX If you want to learn more I recommend checking out their official websites Happy coding |

Introduction to DevOpsDevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations to improve the speed quality and reliability of software delivery DevOps is not just a set of tools or technologies but a cultural shift that emphasizes collaboration communication and automation between software development and IT operations teams In this article we will provide an introduction to DevOps concepts practices and tools DevOps ConceptsDevOps is based on a set of key principles that aim to break down the silos between software development and IT operations teams Some of the key DevOps concepts include Collaboration and Communication DevOps emphasizes collaboration and communication between development and operations teams breaking down traditional silos and enabling teams to work together more effectively Automation DevOps relies heavily on automation to streamline processes and eliminate manual tasks Automation helps to reduce errors improve efficiency and speed up software delivery Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment DevOps promotes the use of continuous integration and continuous deployment CI CD practices to automate the software delivery process CI CD allows developers to automatically build test and deploy software changes reducing the time and effort required to deliver software updates Infrastructure as Code DevOps encourages the use of infrastructure as code IaC to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure IaC allows developers to define infrastructure using code making it easier to manage and deploy infrastructure changes Monitoring and Feedback DevOps relies on monitoring and feedback to identify issues and improve software quality By monitoring applications and infrastructure in real time DevOps teams can quickly identify and resolve issues ensuring that software is always performing at its best DevOps PracticesDevOps is built on a set of best practices that aim to streamline the software delivery process and improve the quality and reliability of software Some of the key DevOps practices include Agile Development DevOps teams typically use agile development methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban to rapidly iterate on software development and deliver new features and updates more quickly Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment As mentioned earlier DevOps promotes the use of continuous integration and continuous deployment CI CD practices to automate the software delivery process CI CD allows developers to quickly and efficiently build test and deploy software changes Infrastructure as Code DevOps teams use infrastructure as code IaC to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure IaC allows teams to define infrastructure using code making it easier to manage and deploy infrastructure changes Configuration Management DevOps teams use configuration management tools such as Puppet or Chef to automate the configuration of servers and other infrastructure components Configuration management helps to ensure that infrastructure is consistent and can be easily managed and updated Monitoring and Logging DevOps teams rely on monitoring and logging tools such as Nagios or ELK to track the performance of applications and infrastructure in real time By monitoring applications and infrastructure DevOps teams can quickly identify and resolve issues ensuring that software is always performing at its best DevOps ToolsDevOps is a set of practices that relies heavily on automation and collaboration between development and operations teams to improve the speed quality and reliability of software delivery DevOps tools are used to automate various stages of the software delivery process including code management continuous integration and continuous deployment CI CD infrastructure management testing and monitoring In this article we will provide an overview of some of the most commonly used DevOps tools Version Control Tools Version control tools such as Git or Subversion are used to manage code changes and track the history of code changes over time Version control tools allow multiple developers to work on the same codebase managing code changes in a central repository This makes it easier to collaborate on code review changes and track the evolution of the codebase over time CI CD Tools CI CD tools such as Jenkins Travis CI or CircleCI automate the software delivery process allowing developers to quickly and efficiently build test and deploy software changes CI CD tools automate various stages of the software delivery pipeline including code compilation unit testing integration testing and deployment This helps to reduce errors speed up the delivery process and improve software quality Configuration Management Tools Configuration management tools such as Puppet or Chef are used to automate the configuration of servers and other infrastructure components Configuration management tools help to ensure that infrastructure is consistent and can be easily managed and updated These tools allow DevOps teams to define infrastructure as code making it easier to manage and deploy infrastructure changes Containerization Tools Containerization tools such as Docker or Kubernetes are used to package applications and their dependencies into containers which can be easily deployed and managed in various environments Containerization helps to improve application portability making it easier to deploy applications across different platforms and environments Monitoring and Logging Tools Monitoring and logging tools such as Nagios or ELK are used to track the performance of applications and infrastructure in real time Monitoring and logging tools allow DevOps teams to quickly identify and resolve issues ensuring that software is always performing at its best These tools can be used to track various metrics including application performance server uptime and resource usage In conclusion DevOps is a methodology that combines development and operations practices to improve software delivery speed quality and reliability DevOps tools play a critical role in automating various stages of the software delivery process including code management continuous integration and continuous deployment infrastructure management testing and monitoring By adopting DevOps practices and tools organizations can achieve faster more reliable software delivery better collaboration between development and operations teams and improved software quality It s important to choose the right DevOps tools based on the specific needs and requirements of the organization and to continually evaluate and adjust the DevOps process to ensure ongoing success Overall DevOps is an essential

How to Contribute to Open Source without Knowing How to Code: A guide with project suggestions |
https://dev.to/opensauced/how-to-contribute-to-open-source-without-knowing-how-to-code-a-guide-with-project-suggestions-59e5

How to Contribute to Open Source without Knowing How to Code A guide with project suggestionsOne of the first pieces of advice I got before graduating from bootcamp was to get involved in open source I browsed around GitHub I looked at issues I peeked into code bases I was overwhelmed I didn t quite feel like I had the capabilities to jump in and start working on an issue Skill wise could I Maybe depending on the repository Confidence wise No way I was a career changer with ten years of expertise in English and zero years of expertise in coding But if someone would have told me that I could start where I was most comfortable without writing code I think I could have eased my way into the open source waters sooner Open source projects don t always require code contributions in fact non code contributions can be as valuable as code contributions Non Code Contributions to Open Source Henri Helvetica henrihelvetica Across all of mozilla we see M contributions and only k were code So there is a large non technical audience We need this diversity the internet doesn t know borders digitarald AM Aug DocumentationGood documentation helps users understand how to use the software troubleshoot issues and contribute to the project Contributing to documentation is a great way to get involved in open source without needing to know how to code Sometimes documentation needs to be updated Other times directions need to be clarified if you re struggling to understand something as part of the documentation process chances are that someone else is too Sometimes it needs to be written Project Highlight The Odin ProjectThe Odin Project is a free open source curriculum for learning web development It s designed to be self directed and project based and covers a wide range of topics including HTML CSS JavaScript and Ruby on Rails One way to contribute to The Odin Project is by helping to improve their documentation You can contribute to their curriculum repository by suggesting improvements reporting errors or adding new documentation They also have a great Contributing Guide to help onboard new contributors User Experience UX Design amp AccessibilityUser experience UX design is another valuable non code contribution UX designers can help OSS projects improve their user interfaces making them more intuitive accessible and user friendly This could involve reviewing the project s design and identifying any accessibility issues such as color contrast or font size and suggesting improvements You could also help create accessible design elements like icons or buttons for the project Project Highlight WordPressWordPress is an open source content management system and has a dedicated team of UX designers who work on improving the user experience of the platform They advertise their vision for getting designers involved in their all volunteer team and highlight ways to do that on their Make WordPress Design page They also have a Make WordPress Accessible page that outlines how volunteers can get involved to improve accessibility TranslationBecause so much of the code we write is for a global user base many repositories actively seek translations to reach a broader audience and provide a better experience for non native speakers Project Highlight OpenStreetMapOpenStreetMap is a collaborative project that aims to create a free and editable map of the world It s built by a community of mappers who contribute and maintain data about roads buildings landmarks and other points of interest around the world Within their documentation on how to contribute they include a section on Translate to provide access to more users and provide directions on the translation contributing process ContentSupporting open source projects is more than code and documentation There are users who need supported and developers who need to learn more There s always a way to create a safer and more stable space for the community You can do this by sharing projects you enjoy using writing blog posts that include their product speaking about their product at meetups and conferences and providing feedback to the maintainers Project Highlight AppwriteAppwrite is a backend platform for developing Web Mobile and Flutter applications Their CONTRIBUTING md file highlights all of the different non code ways that contributors can help to support their project CommunityA strong and welcoming community often leads to a healthy open source project Community can be one of the most time consuming parts of maintaining a project Questions need answered examples need to be created clarifying information and creating clear paths of communication are all important to supporting a community Often open source projects rely on volunteers to ensure the community is supported and thriving Project Spotlight DirectusDirectus is a real time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content Within their contributing doc Directus shares that one way to contribute is by Helping Others You don t have to know how to code to get involved in open source and contributing isn t just for developers We all use products that use open source software Finding ways to give back that s within our skillset benefits the projects the tech community and everyone who s using products that use open source software This is a short list of projects and examples that accept non code contributions If you want to see a longer list check out the Twitter thread here If you want to explore more repositories check out

The best SSDs in 2023 |
https://www.engadget.com/best-ssds-140014262.html?src=rss
|
The best SSDs in One of the most cost effective ways to upgrade a computer or console is with solid state storage The fastest flash drives will make your desktop or laptop feel snappier with shorter app and operating system loading times The best part is that we re at a point where you don t have to choose between speed and capacity the latest solid state drives SSDs offer both Whether you want to replace an old hard drive or upgrade the capacity of your existing SSD this guide will help you navigate all the complexities of buying a modern flash drive Don t know the difference between an NVMe and M drive Don t worry Engadget can help you choose the best SSD for your needs What to look for in a PC SSDThe most affordable way to add fast storage space to a computer is with a inch SATA drive It s also one of the easiest if you don t want to worry about compatibility since almost every computer made in the last two decades will include a motherboard with Serial ATA connections For that reason inch SSDs are a great way to extend the life of an older PC build Installation is straightforward too Once you ve secured the internal SSD in a drive cage all you need to do is to connect it to your motherboard and power supply The one downside of SATA drives is that they re slower than their high performance NVMe counterparts with SATA III limiting data transfers to MB s But even the slowest SSD has a significantly faster transfer speed than the best mechanical drives And with TB SATA SSDs costing about they re a good bulk storage option If your PC is newer there s a good chance it includes space for one or more M SSDs The form factor represents your ticket to the fastest possible consumer storage on the market but the tricky part is navigating all the different standards and specs involved M drives can feature either a SATA or PCIe connection SSDs with the latter are known as Non Volatile Memory or NVMe drives and are significantly faster than their SATA counterparts with Gen models offering sequential write speeds of up to MB s You can get twice the performance with a Gen SSD but you ll need a motherboard and processor that supports the standard If you re running an AMD system that means a Ryzen or CPU and an X or B motherboard With Intel meanwhile you ll need a th or th Gen processor and a Z Z or Z motherboard Keep in mind you ll pay a small premium for a Gen SSD You might have also seen something about Gen NVMe drives You can safely ignore those for now At the moment only Intel s th gen desktop CPUs support PCIe and there aren t any Gen NVMe SSDs out on the market We ll see the first ones arrive alongside AMD s next generation Ryzen processors later this year but if the price of early Gen drives is any indication they will be expensive As for why you would buy an M SATA drive over a similarly specced inch drive it comes down to ease of installation You add M storage to your computer by installing the SSD directly onto the motherboard That may sound intimidating but in practice the process involves a single screw that you first remove to connect the drive to your computer and then retighten to secure the SSD in place As an added bonus there aren t any wires involved making cable management easier Note that you can install a SATA M SSD into an M slot with a PCIe connection but you can t insert an NVMe M SSD into a M slot with a SATA connection Unless you want to continue using an old M drive there s little reason to take advantage of that feature Speaking of backward compatibility it s also possible to use a Gen drive through a PCIe connection but you won t get any of the speed benefits of the faster NVMe One last thing to consider is that M drives come in different physical sizes From shortest to longest the common options are and The first two numbers represent width in millimeters the latter denote the length For the most part you don t have to worry about that since is the default for many motherboards and manufacturers Some boards can accommodate more than one size of NVMe SSD thanks to multiple standoffs That said check your computer s documentation before buying a drive to ensure you re not trying to fit one it can t support The best buying advice I can offer is don t get too caught up about being on the bleeding edge of storage tech The sequential read and write speeds you see manufacturers list on their drives are theoretical and real world performance varies less than you think If your budget forces you to choose between a TB Gen NVMe and a GB Gen model go for the former From a practical standpoint the worst thing you can do is buy a type of SSD that s too small for needs Drives can slow dramatically as they approach capacity and you will probably end up purchasing one with a larger storage capacity down the line With all that boring stuff out of the way here are some go to best SSD recommendations Best inch SATA Drive Crucial MXYou don t have to look far to find the best all round inch SSD It s the Crucial MX With sequential read speeds of MB s and price tag for the TB model this internal SSD offers a hard to beat combination of excellent performance and value It also comes with a five year warranty for additional peace of mind Best PCIe M Samsung EVO PlusThe EVO Plus is a great pick for anyone buying their first Gen NVMe drive It comes in GB GB TB and TB varieties all of which are competitively priced Expect to pay about for the GB model for the TB version and for TB Samsung s SSDs also have a strong reputation for reliability A more affordable Gen NVME Crucial PIf the EVO Plus is out of your budget but you still want a NVMe drive the Crucial P is a compelling option at a lower price It s slightly slower than Samsung s M drive offering sequential read speeds of up to MB s instead of MB s but is significantly cheaper Crucial offers the P in GB GB TB and TB variants A SATA option WD Blue SNIf you have an older computer but still want to take advantage of the M form factor consider the WD Blue SN It s slower than the two above options but pricing is comparable to what you would pay for a inch drive Best Gen NVME Crucial P PlusIf you have the necessary hardware and money to spare it s hard to beat the high end Crucial P Plus With sequential read speeds of MB s it s not the absolute fastest Gen NVMe you can buy but it offers about the best value The P Plus comes in GB TB and TB varieties The WD Black SN we recommend below in the console section is also a great pick What to look for in portable and USB flash drivesPortable SSDs are a somewhat different beast to their internal siblings While read and write speeds are important they are almost secondary to how an external drive connects to your PC You won t get the most out of a model like the SanDisk Extreme Pro V without a USB Gen x connection Even among newer PCs that s something of a premium feature For that reason most people are best off buying a portable drive with a USB Gen or Thunderbolt connection The former offers transfer speeds of up to Gbps Additionally if you plan to take your drive on trips and commutes it s worthwhile to buy a model with IP certified water and dust proofing Some companies like Samsung offer rugged versions of their most popular drives For additional peace of mind bit AES hardware encryption will help prevent someone from accessing your data if you ever lose or misplace your external SSD Some of the same features contribute to a great thumbstick drive Our top picks for best external SSD models feature USB connections and some form of hardware encryption Best portable drive Samsung TFor most people the Samsung T offers the perfect mix of features performance and affordability The company offers the T portable SSD in GB TB and TB varieties and three different colors It s also relatively fast offering sequential read speeds of up to MB s Best of all you can frequently find it on sale Best thumbstick drive Samsung Fit PlusAnother Samsung pick here for good reason The Fit Plus has about all the features you could want on a USB drive It connects to your computer over USB and supports file transfer speeds of up to MB s The Fit Plus is also compact and has a handy slot for attaching it to your keychain The only downside of Samsung s USB drive is that it s on the pricey side nbsp A note on console storageSeagateThankfully outfitting your fancy new console with the fastest possible storage is far more straightforward than doing the same on PC With a Series X or Series S the conversation starts and ends with Seagate s storage expansion cards The company offers GB TB and TB models with the most affordable starting at a not so trivial The good news is that gamers can frequently find them on sale Your best bet is to set an alert for the model you want on a price tracker like CamelCamelCamel With Sony s PlayStation upgrading the console s internal storage is slightly more involved Instead of employing a proprietary solution the PS uses NVMe storage Thankfully there aren t as many potential configurations as you would find on a PC Engadget published a comprehensive guide on buying a PS SSD last year In short your best bet is a Gen drive with a built in heatsink Check out that guide for a full list of gaming SSD recommendations but for a quick go to consider the Western Digital SN It meets all the memory specifications for Sony s latest console and you won t run into any clearance issues with the heatsink Western Digital offers GB TB and TB models of the SN Expect to pay about for the TB variant and about for TB For those still playing on a previous generation console you can get slightly faster load times from a PlayStation by swapping the included hard drive to a inch SSD but going out of your way to do so probably isn t worth it at this point and you re better off saving your money for one of the new consoles This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
