Moments of change, moments of evolution, a constant in my life, with the 25th anniversary of the creation of the web I’ve entered “review” mode and I’m highly perplexed.

I’ve been doing things for the same time (25 years), enjoying, always with the same concept and particularity: Enjoyment and result, but it hasn’t been relevant for a long time (which is also not very relevant).

I’ve realized that the usual thing is to do things within your comfort zone, and I’ve never had one or knew one could exist, hence I’ve touched and done unusual things or perhaps “untimely”, when a certain technology could be in fashion “Buzz” I hadn’t been using it for a long time because it didn’t give me what something else gave me,…

Laravel, in addition to using multiple third-party packages, is also possible to use parts as components. All components are under the “Illuminate” namespace.

If there’s a really interesting and useful class, it’s Collection, which allows us to work with data arrays in a simple and “programmatic” way.

To have this class in our project, we only need the illuminate/support package which we can install with:

composer require illuminate/support:5.2.x-dev

To show some examples, we’ll use a small array with this data:

In these last few days, we’ve had many news items, articles, information in the development and technology world, these are the most relevant for me:

• Google announces a new Machine Learning service in the cloud

• NPM & left-pad: Have We Forgotten How To Program?: The Kik case - left-pad from NPM and the critical fall to “I’ll do this with a third-party module/plugin/package/class”

• The Kik case - left-pad from NPM and the fall in (official) or how the most insignificant dependencies can really leave us stranded.

From Cayley we can make queries via REST in two “languages”: MQL and a reduced version of Gremlin

With the following example, we can obtain the most common skills of people who belong to an industry, within the “Edu” sector

I’ve started to see what I’ve been touching lately, and not surprisingly, it’s… simply “eccentric”, in the sum of elements but not in the use of each one.

Text Editor: Sublime Text, Atom I can’t get used to it (largely due to its complicated integration with Go and Gb), and the same applies to atom for PHPStorm. In the terminal, my header editor is Joe and this has an explanation: my first text editor was WordStar and I’m a nostalgic.

Except for gorename …

The first one is the very simple, but not limited, Go interface system.

How to use interfaces in Go

The second, no less important, making it clear and showing C# vs Go code.

Statements are statements, and expressions are expressions (in Go)

As always, we’ll need some debugging:

Scheduler Tracing In Go

A project, green, but promising, for (among other things) distributed execution:

hyflow-go: A geo-replicated, main-memory, highly consistent datastore

Every day we hear about Big Data, IoT, Smart Data, Machine Learning, semantic data, etc. Many times out of context or simply used because they’re “trendy”.

One of the best examples is “Big Data”, where we always talk about huge amounts of information, systems, platforms, queries, but with the error, from my point of view, of taking that as information, no, no it’s not information, they’re data, raw data or processed data, information is what is extracted from that data. Many times, with the term “Big Data”, we get lost in only the part of storing huge amounts of data, replicated and in astronomical volumes. That’s not “Big Data”, that’s only talking about one part, the most mechanical one, and the one that contributes least to what we’re looking for “Information”, it’s only “data storage and management”, one leg of a much broader table.

As a proof of concept, I’m making a small API in Golang that, on an Apache with mod_proxy, serves certain content to a WordPress site.

One of the recurring conversations in gatherings over a beer is the current trend, by many “developers”, of not really programming to client needs but simply using modules/components/plugins/…

Excessive use of components for very simple needs

This causes the final solution to be nothing more than an amalgamation of elements, many of which were not designed for that function, and others that are really not necessary, that only create the sensation that everything is solved, but as an “AS IS” solution. The kind where you don’t touch them, because we don’t know if something might fail, nor how, nor why.

Theme My Login is a plugin that allows us to adapt all elements related to: Registration, Login, … of a WordPress site to our needs.

Inside the plugin folder, we find the templates in the “templates” folder. As is standard practice, we should not modify these templates directly. We can copy them to the root of our theme and modify them there. From that point on, those templates will be used by our site, without a plugin update affecting the changes made.
