When installing/renewing let’s encrypt on a web server with nginx, we have to decide whether to do it with a temporary server, which means we must temporarily stop the web service, or indicate what the DocumentRoot of the web server is for the domain.

The latter implies that the website or service has a “public” DocumentRoot, and that’s not always easy when we’re using, for example, a Python, Java, or Go application and nginx as a proxy.

An interesting resource to have on hand when we need to document an API:

API Documentation Gallery

Where we have selected, very graphic examples of how to display the documentation of our APIs.

If you know of any interesting one, just make a pull request to:

Thanks to a tweet from @juantomas, I came across a list of 9 JavaScript libraries for “Charts”: 9 Best JavaScript Charting Libraries.

This week I’ve been looking at a new CSS framework concept, “Utility First,” a concept proposed by Adam Wathan in his article: CSS Utility Classes and “Separation of Concerns”.

Daily life has kept me from doing many things, including keeping this blog updated, but there’s no time for everything, and in the end fatigue forces me to reorganize priorities.

In recent months, I’ve been working on implementing RedHat CloudForms, Ansible Tower, and more, so I’ve had to work much more with Ansible. It was already a habit, but lately it’s been much more intensive.

So I’ve earned a few RedHat “certifications”:

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:

I wouldn’t know where to start but I do know how to end this reflection, and it’s so simple that it would be summarized in two phrases, “It’s not a country for programmers” and “Being mediocre is more relaxing and will bring you more”.

When one has been developing for more than 20 years and has always filled their mouth saying that they have enjoyed, enjoy and will enjoy programming, in the strangest or most common languages, with the most peculiar and strange technologies, the most cutting-edge and the most “old-fashioned”, but each one in its moment and only for the most (as much as possible) precise implementation, one should better keep quiet.

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.

At Sevilla Developers Conf 2 I commented on some examples of who uses Go and for what.

Among others, these seemed interesting to me, and I’ll create a somewhat larger list that will serve us to see real use cases and success stories when choosing Go for certain solutions.

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.
