Crossposting Hashnode to DEVIf you re like me you might have multiple blogs Medium Hashnode and DEV are all super popular choices to blog under and I m a fan of all of them for different reasons I own accounts on all three platforms but I only really consistently use two DEV and Hashnode DEV because I ve accumulated quite the following followers and Hashnode because well the markdown editor looks cool Think I make different content for both blogs Think again I don t have the time or interest to keep two completely separate blogs up and running Instead I use some of the really useful features form each platform to quickly and efficiently cross post on each platform In this article I ll walk you through how to publish articles from Hashnode to DEV and vice versa Hashnode to DEVThis is my preferred method only because it looks nicer to write in their editor wrapped in with the fact that I personally think their system for storing drafts looks cleaner and nicer than DEV s So you ve written your article published it on Hashnode and are ready to post it to DEV Here s a handy list of how to do it super easily Start by copying the markdown from the article using Hashnode s copy markdown feature found in the menu bar above your article Create a new post on DEV Paste the markdown from Hashnode into your DEV post Copy and paste your title into the article where it belongs and add associated tags for maximum exposure Add the canonical URL to the DEV post from your Hashnode article to show that it was originally published there if you wish You re done Header ImagesRecommended ratio dimensions for header images do vary between platforms Hashnode recommends a to ratio DEV recommends a to ratio to I d recommend a tool like Figma for making custom thumbnails so you can easily change size but for an easier and just as good looking experience you can just go with a free image from Unsplash DEV to HashnodeTo go from the other way around DEV to Hashnode you can follow this handy list Copy all of the markdown Ctrl A when the editor is selected Ctrl C from the DEV article and paste it in a new Hashnode draft Copy and paste the title into the title area then hit publish to add some article details before you officially publish the article Optionally include the DEV link in the canonical URL section Add any tags and finalize the publishing You re done Fin Hope you enjoyed Don t forget to drop a follow and a like if you like my posts |

Spotify API for creating 'Listening now' card |
https://dev.to/basskibo/spotify-api-for-creating-listening-now-card-12e1
|
Spotify API for creating x Listening now x card IntroductionIn this blog post we ll explore a code snippet that demonstrates how to create a Spotify API wrapper using Next js and the popular HTTP client library Axios This code we will write will allows you to fetch information about the currently playing track on your Spotify account and retrieve details such as the song title artist album album cover image URL and the Spotify song URL Its up to you to show whatever you like this is my example which I am currently using on my personal webiste so feel free to be creative as much as you like So I will not bother anymore let s dive into the code and understand how it works Idea behind projectNothing special to be honest as I mentioned already above I wanted to show which music I am currently listening on Spotify and who knows maybe some uknown visitor likes the song so at least I can do in this case is recommend some good music Code ExplanationThe code begins with the requiring neccessarry modules for this project querystring and axios are imported querystring is used to stringify the request parameters you dont have to use it I already had it in project so find a good use of it but its not necessarry while axios is used to make HTTP requests to the Spotify API The following code retrieves the required environment variables which are named SPOTIFY CLIENT ID SPOTIFY CLIENT SECRET and SPOTIFY REFRESH TOKEN using destructuring assignment from the process env object These variables store sensitive information and should be kept secure so thats why it is strongly recommended to use environment variable Be aware that you have to get your tokens from spotify developer portal The token variable is then created by encoding the client id and client secret using Base encoding It will be used for authentication as a bearer token when we want to request an access token from Spotify Two constants NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT and TOKEN ENDPOINT store the Spotify API endpoints for retrieving currently playing track information and obtaining access tokens respectively import querystring from querystring import axios from axios const SPOTIFY CLIENT ID client id SPOTIFY CLIENT SECRET client secret SPOTIFY REFRESH TOKEN refresh token process envconst token Buffer from client id client secret toString base const NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT const TOKEN ENDPOINT The getAccessToken function as already said will be used for fetching access token from Spotify it sends a POST request to the TOKEN ENDPOINT with the necessary parameters including the grant type set to refresh token and the refresh token obtained from the environment variables The request includes the Authorization header with the encoded client id and client secret The response data which contains the access token is returned const getAccessToken async gt const response await axios post TOKEN ENDPOINT querystring stringify grant type refresh token refresh token headers Authorization Basic token Content Type application x www form urlencoded return response data Lets move on to the getNowPlaying function is another asynchronous function that retrieves the currently playing track information from the NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT API It first calls getAccessToken to obtain the access token then sends a GET request to the NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT with the access token included in the Authorization header export const getNowPlaying async gt const access token await getAccessToken return axios get NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT headers Authorization Bearer access token Finally we are coming to the callSpotifyApi function which will be exported as a default and will be called It calls getNowPlaying to get the currently playing track information If the response status is no content or an error occurs it will send a JSON response indicating that nothing is currently playing so you should show something else Otherwise if there is some song playing it extracts relevant data from the response and constructs a JSON object containing details about the currently playing track const spotifyApi async res gt const response await getNowPlaying if response status response status gt response data amp amp response data currently playing type track return res status json isPlaying false const data isPlaying response data is playing title response data item name album response data item album name artist response data item album artists map artist gt artist name join albumImageUrl response data item album images url songUrl response data item external urls spotify res status json data export default spotifyApiSo finally here is spotify js file completed eslint disable camelcase pages api spotify jsimport querystring from querystring import axios from axios const SPOTIFY CLIENT ID client id SPOTIFY CLIENT SECRET client secret SPOTIFY REFRESH TOKEN refresh token process envconst token Buffer from client id client secret toString base const NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT const TOKEN ENDPOINT const getAccessToken async gt const response await axios post TOKEN ENDPOINT querystring stringify grant type refresh token refresh token headers Authorization Basic token Content Type application x www form urlencoded return response data export const getNowPlaying async gt const access token await getAccessToken return axios get NOW PLAYING ENDPOINT headers Authorization Bearer access token const spotifyApi async res gt const response await getNowPlaying if response status response status gt response data amp amp response data currently playing type track return res status json isPlaying false const data isPlaying response data is playing title response data item name album response data item album name artist response data item album artists map artist gt artist name join albumImageUrl response data item album images url songUrl response data item external urls spotify res status json data export default spotifyApi Spotify cardSo basically for Spotify card you can make whatever you like so feel free to make it by your preferences I have been using in this project Next js with Tailwind and for calling Spotify API I used SWR which is basically React Hook for Data Fetching but if you want to find more about that topic you can check my other post What is SWR and How Can It Improve Your React Apps So here is how it is looking inside of my app when I am not listening anything So here is how it is looking inside of my app when I am listening ConclusionIn this blog post we explored a code snippet that demonstrates how to create a Spotify API wrapper using Next js and Axios simple as that The code allows you to fetch information about the currently playing track on Spotify and retrieve details such as the song title artist album album cover image URL and the Spotify song URL You can use this code as a starting point to build more advanced Spotify related functionality in your applications or you can get some more better idea Feel free to modify and extend the code to suit your specific requirements this is just my type but you can make it however you wish I hope I helped if you have any question please let me know and Happy coding |

Meta will require staff to be in the office at least three days a weekMeta s long running attempt to get employees back to the office might just succeed The Facebook owner tells Engadget it will require that office assigned staff return to in person work for at least three days a week starting September th People who are exclusively remote can stay that way Meta says In a statement a spokesperson says Meta is quot committed to distributed work quot and that people can have a quot meaningful impact quot both at the office and working from home This is part of an effort to refine the collaboration and work culture that help staff do their best according to the representative This is part of a previously announced hybrid strategy that came alongside large scale layoffs Meta sees as the quot year of efficiency quot and believes some in person teamwork is necessary for maximum productivity Meta instituted a formal remote work policy in May as it became clearer that the COVID pandemic was unlikely to end any time soon While it hoped to reopen offices in it repeatedly pushed back that timeline as COVID spread and new virus variants emerged In early contract workers protested requirements to return to the office months before Meta s in house employees were at the time slated to make a similar move The social networking giant isn t alone Apple and other major tech companies have mandated hybrid work schedules and have faced similar resistance Some employees have objected to the reduced flexibility in locations and schedules as well as increased costs that can include daycare and transportation There s pressure from other companies too Shopify Spotify and other well known brands have instituted remote first policies that may be more attractive to job seekers While the pandemic appears to be winding down the employment landscape has clearly changed This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The best laptops for college students |

The best laptops for college studentsWhether you re heading to a physical campus taking classes online or a mix of both a laptop is sure to be the control center for your studies Getting a new machine can better help you stay on top of your schedule and handle your furious multitasking with dozens of tabs devoted to research while you write your essays Given we re still dealing with ongoing inflation and the global chip supply shortage you might be concerned about rising prices or what might be in stock The good news is companies are still making a ton of new notebooks and there are plenty of models with great functionality and battery life for you to consider We compiled this guide to help you choose the best laptop for college What to expectSince the introduction of Apple s M powered MacBooks and Windows not much has changed significantly Apple unveiled its new M system on chip SoC alongside two laptops that are equipped with it including a redesigned MacBook Air Meanwhile new PCs keep getting announced with the latest models typically powered by th gen Intel processors or the latest AMD Ryzen chips Though the shift to ARM based systems has been successful for Apple the PC industry is still struggling to keep up and Windows on ARM is still tough to recommend Snapdragon laptops may look and feel sleek offer excellent battery life and built in cellular radios but they typically carry a higher price tag especially considering their limited app compatibility Speaking of most laptops with top of the line specs can cost you around to these days For most college students though a midrange machine might be enough Depending on your field of study you could get by with an Intel Core i processor or equivalent with at least GB of RAM If you need to run specialized software for design or programming consider upgrading to a beefier system with more memory On the other hand if you do most of your coursework online or in a browser getting a Chromebook could save you a lot of money You ll also want to pay attention to a device s weight There are a lot of premium ultraportables in the inch category with chips like Intel s Core i or i that cost around And if that s too expensive you ll still have respectable options in the to price range but they might be heavier and use older slower processors I ve included our favorite budget laptop in this college guide but we also have more affordable top picks that you can check out as well See Also Best Laptops for Best Gaming LaptopsBest in Laptops for Best ChromebooksBest Cheap Windows Laptops for With some laptop makers deciding to get rid of headphone jacks this year it s important to check specs lists when you re shopping for newer machines If you don t have wireless headphones or use equipment that plugs into the mm jack you ll want to steer clear of devices like Dell s new XPS Plus Finally while most laptops in offer WiFi or E and Bluetooth or later the compatible routers or other devices that would enable those faster connections aren t very prevalent yet Chances are your campus WiFi might still be stuck on an older setup so it s not crucial that you get a system with the latest standards yet Of course it doesn t hurt to get a laptop that s future proof but just know that of all the things to look out for WiFi E shouldn t be a dealbreaker in your decision making process Best Apple MacBook AirIt s hard to beat Apple s MacBook Air if you want a powerful machine for college that won t weigh you down You actually have two good options this year ーthe new M powered MacBook Air and the MacBook Air M The M laptop earned a score of from us for its impressive performance gorgeous inch Liquid Retina display and its refined design that s even thinner than the M machine that came before it Our biggest gripe with this laptop is its price tag ーthe M MacBook Air will set you back more than the M so you re looking at spending at least if you want the latest and greatest from Apple However even though it s older the Apple M MacBook Air is a solid machine outperforming many PCs while maintaining a fanless design You ll still get a great keyboard and long battery life along with a nice Retina display Of course it uses a p webcam while the new model has a sharper p setup housed in a notch The latter also has thinner display bezels that make it look more modern as well as a MagSafe port that lets you keep charging while still having access to the device s two USB C ports But if you re already living a largely wireless life and don t mind a not so great camera you might find the M MacBook Air is a better deal Read our Full Review of Apple MacBook Air MBest Windows Dell XPS PlusThe best PC has long been Dell s well rounded XPS series and I still recommend it to anyone that doesn t want a Mac Yes the new XPS Plus lacks a headphone jack and we haven t got one in to test yet But the XPS is a well rounded machine and reliable workhorse that will get you through classes and late night writing sessions without breaking a sweat Like its predecessors the XPS Plus offers a lovely OLED screen with impressively thin bezels and packs a roomy comfortable keyboard It also features a new minimalist design that looks more modern I m not sure about the row of capacitive keys at the top in lieu of traditional function keys but from our time with an early sample they at least worked If you don t like the changes Dell has made to the XPS or if you definitely need a headphone jack the older generations are still solid options There s also the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro series which feature beautiful OLED screens and sharper webcams in thin and light frames I also like Microsoft s Surface Laptops and the most recent edition offers great performance and battery life albeit in an outdated design Read our Full Review of Dell XPS Plus LaptopBest for gaming Razer Blade Just because your laptop might primarily be for coursework doesn t mean you can t use it as a gamer
