The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Joomla 4.0 Beta 4 release, and the second Alpha of Joomla 3.10.

With Joomla 4.0 beta being released a few weeks ago, we enter into a phase of stabilization. Joomla! 4.0 is feature complete, that means, no new features are going to be added to Joomla 4.0. The focus is on fixing the last bugs to get Joomla! 4.0 out as soon as possible. But what will happen until the release and afterwards? Obviously we don’t want to stop new feature development, which is why we would like to refine our development strategy for upcoming versions. Whenever we start the work on a new minor version, we plan to define the subsequent two minor releases This results in a more reliable release cycle and a more consistent road map.

This post is a compilation of different Cyber Monday deals I’ve found related to Python and Python learning. Python Morsels weekly screencasts Let’s get the self-promotion out of the way first. I announced a couple days ago that you can now get one year of Python screencasts as well as mini-blog posts for $50/year (with at least one new screencast each week). This also includes one Python exercise each month. I haven’t set a concrete end date to this “sale” (it’s actually more of a newly announced service that will be increasing in price in early 2021). You can find my article on the Python Morsels screencasts sale here. Talk Python course bundle You can get every Talk Python course that’s been made so far for just $250. There’s 28 courses currently and the bundle also includes courses published through October 2021. PyBites sales PyBites is offering PyBites Premium+ Access for 2 months for $24 and Introductory Bites Course for $15 (both effectively 70% off) during their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Reuven Lerner’s Python courses and exercises Reuven Lerner is offering 40% off all his products (Python courses, Weekly Python Exercises, and product bundles) through Monday. Matt Harrison’s Modern Python workshop Matt Harrison’s Modern Python workshop is $500 (50%) off through Monday with coupon code EARLYBIRD and and his other courses (including Python data science and pandas courses) are 40% off through Monday with code BLACKFRIDAY. Speed Up Your Django book Adam Johnson’s Speed Up Your Django book is 50% off through Monday. Python Morsels is a Django-powered site and I could use this book, so I’ll be buying a copy for myself as well. Mike Driscoll’s Python books Mike Driscoll is offering a sale on all his Python books (each is $15 or less during the sale). Brian Okken’s Pytest book (Pragmatic Bookshelf) Pragmatic Bookshelf is offering 40% off all books with the code turkeysale2020, including Brian Okken’s Pytest book which is just under $15 with the coupon. No Starch Press Python books No Starch Press is also running a 33% off sale on their Python books (with books by Al Sweigart, Eric Matthes, and many others), though the sale ends before Monday. Real Python subscription Real Python is offering an annual subscription for $200/year and 20% of that goes to the Python Software Foundation. Pluralsight subscription We’re now moving into “I’m really not actually sure what you’re getting” sales. Pluralsight is running a Black Friday sale this year: $180/year for a subscription. I’m not sure whether this is one year for $180 but the subscription renews at the regular price of $300/year or whether it’s $180/year indefinitely (the fact that they don’t specify is a bit concerning). 100 Days of Code Python and other Udemy courses There’s a 100 Days of Code Python course course on sale for just $13 on Udemy through mid next week. I haven’t heard anything about it but it looks like it includes a lot. There are also various other Udemy Python courses on sale, like Automate The Boring Stuff, though many of these sales end within the next 24 hours (through Black Friday only). Lots of courses, books, screencasts, exercises, live workshops on sale Don’t go too wild on sales. I know that I wouldn’t want anyone subscribing to Python Morsels unless they think they’ll actually commit at least an hour over the next year to watch screencasts. I imagine many other Python educators feel similar about purchases that go to waste. Look through the sales above and think about what you could use. What works well with the way you learn and what would you actually make a habit to use after you’ve purchased it? If you have a question about the Python Morsels screencasts/exercises, email me. If you have questions about other sales, email the folks running those sales (make sure to do it now in case they take a day or two to get back to you). Also if you’ve found other Python sales I’ve missed above, please comment or email me to let me know about them.

Introduction Seaborn is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python, as an extension to Matplotlib. It offers a simple, intuitive, yet highly customizable API for data visualization. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to plot a histogram plot in Seaborn. We'll cover how to plot a histogram with Seaborn, how to change Histogram bin sizes, as well as plot Kernel Density Estimation plots on top of Histograms and show distribution data instead of count data. Import Data We'll be using the Netflix Shows dataset and visualizing the distributions from there. Let's import Pandas and load in the dataset: import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('netflix_titles.csv') How to Plot a Histogram with Seaborn? Well, Seaborn doesn't have a regular histplot() function anymore. Specifically, Seaborn has different types of distribution plots that you might want to use. These plot types are: Distribution Plots (displot()) and Count Plots (countplot()). By default, the displot() is the closest you'd get to Matplotlib's hist() function, as the default approach of a displot() is to plot a histogram. Note: Since Seaborn 0.11, distplot() became displot(). If you're using an older version, you'll have to use the older function as well. Let's start plotting. Plot Histogram/Distribution Plot (displot) with Seaborn Let's go ahead and import the required modules and generate a Histogram/Distribution Plot. We'll visualize the distribution of the release_year feature, to see when Netflix was the most active with new additions: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import pandas as pd import numpy as np import seaborn as sns # Load the data df = pd.read_csv('netflix_titles.csv') # Extract feature we're interested in data = df['release_year'] # Generate histogram/distribution plot sns.displot(data) plt.show() Now, if we run the code, we'll be greeted with a histogram plot, showing the count of the occurences of these release_year values: Plot Histogram with Density Information with Seaborn Now, as with Matplotlib, the default histogram approach is to count the number of occurences. Instead, you can visualize the distribution of each of these release_years in percentages. Let's modify the displot() call to change that: # Extract feature we're interested in data = df['release_year'] # Generate histogram/distribution plot sns.displot(data, stat = 'density') plt.show() The only thing we need to change is to provide the stat argument, and let it know that we'd like to see the density, instead of the 'count'. Now, instead of the count we've seen before, we'll be presented with the density of entries: Change Histogram Plot Bin Size with Seaborn Sometimes, the automatic bin sizes don't work very well for us. They're too big or too small. By default, the size is chosen based on the observed variance in the data, but this sometimes can't be different than what we'd like to bring to light. In our plot, they're a bit too small and awkwardly placed with gaps between them. We can change the bin size either by setting the binwidth for each bin, or by setting the number of bins: data = df['release_year'] sns.displot(data, binwidth = 3) plt.show() This will make each bin encompass data in ranges of 3 years: Or, we can set a fixed number of bins: data = df['release_year'] sns.displot(data, bins = 30) plt.show() Now, the data will be packed into 30 bins and depending on the range of your dataset, this will either be a lot of bins, or a really small amount: Another great way to get rid of the awkward gaps is to set the discrete argument to True: data = df['release_year'] sns.displot(data, discrete=True) plt.show() This results in: Plot Histogram with KDE A common plot to plot alongside a Histogram is the Kernel Density Estimation plot. They're smooth and you don't lose any value by snatching ranges of values into bins. You can set a larger bin value, overlay a KDE plot over the Histogram and have all the relevant information on screen. Thankfully, since this was a really common thing to do, Seaborn lets us plot a KDE plot simply by setting the kde argument to True: data = df['release_year'] sns.displot(data, discrete = True, kde = True) plt.show() This now results in: Plot Joint Plot Histogram with Seaborn Sometimes, you might want to visualize multiple features against each other, and their distributions. For example, we might want to visualize the distribution of the show ratings, as well as year of their addition. If we were looking to see if Netflix started adding more kid-friendly content over the years, this would be a great pairing for a Joint Plot. Let's make a jointplot(): df = pd.read_csv('netflix_titles.csv') df.dropna(inplace=True) sns.jointplot(x = "rating", y = "release_year", data = df) plt.show() We've dropped null values here since Seaborn will have trouble converting them to usable values. Here, we've made a Histogram plot for the rating feature, as well as a Histogram plot for the release_year feature: We can see that most of the added entries are TV-MA, however, there's also a lot of TV-14 entries so there's a nice selection of shows for the entire family. Conclusion In this tutorial, we've gone over several ways to plot a histogram plot using Seaborn and Python. If you're interested in Data Visualization and don't know where to start, make sure to check out our book on Data Visualization in Python. Data Visualization in Python, a book for beginner to intermediate Python developers, will guide you through simple data manipulation with Pandas, cover core plotting libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn, and show you how to take advantage of declarative and experimental libraries like Altair. Data Visualization in Python Understand your data better with visualizations! With over 275+ pages, you'll learn the ins and outs of visualizing data in Python with popular libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, Bokeh, and more.

d2 Content Pro is a component for Joomla! to make it more easy to manage, add and edit your Joomla articles in the backend. It works well alongside Joomla's core Article Manager (com_content), with your existing articles, and with the WYSIWYG editor of your choice (TinyMCE, JCE, etc). You will get an optimized editing form for your content - just the fields you need! Furthermore in the overview of articles you can easily see which articles have an intro image that is used on category blog pages. With the Pro version of d2 Content you can create your own d2 Content editor profiles that you can assign to user groups. We have a Free version available but it is limited to one fixed profile. Our experience We have created websites for many years for our clients. Honestly, we can't remember how often we had to explain to them which fields to edit and which fields to not touch. It never worked out well and they kept calling us for support again, asking: - why is something on the website is not showing up? - why does the sorting not work as expected? - or why are they not performing well on the Google search results. For example they often missed the "meta description" on the "Published" tab, which is essential for how Google displays text from your website in the search results. Or they changed the wrong date field and something like sorting did not work as expected. Your advantages: Makes SEO easier - Add the meta description just beside your content. Easy design - Never forget your intro image again and have a great design on your site. Improved UX - Focus only on the important fields when editing your content. Joomla is great! Joomla gives you all the options you want ... but for normal users that might be to much, they are just overwhelmed. Joomla: 76 fields 6 tabs (+ tabs for custom fields and plugins) d2 Content FULLY Configurable 1 tab (+ tabs for custom fields and plugins) d2 Content is easy - it solving these problems: Only the fields you need All fields on one page Works with custom fields (if configured) Intro Image in articles list (optional) d2 Content makes it easier to create and manage your articles. It does not replace "Content > Articles". It just uses the same content with an optimized form. You can use d2 Content and Joomla's Article Manager alongside each other!

Both Bigstep and Hosting Plus responded to all of Netcraft's requests in October, but a faster average connection time gives Bigstep the edge.

In a recent post, Brian Krebs discussed a technique for disrupting 8chan, a controversial message board. Ron Guilmette, a security researcher, spotted that N.T. Technology, the hosting company owned by 8chan’s current operator, no longer has the right to transact business as it is in the “administrative hold” state. ARIN, the Internet registry N.T. Technology obtained its IP address allocation from, would be within its rights to reclaim the IP address space. Ron Guilmette is an expert in this type of analysis - last year he discovered the theft of $50 million worth of IP addresses in AFRINIC’s service region. However, taking down 8chan is unlikely to be as simple as requesting that ARIN deallocates its IP address space. After deallocation, the IP addresses may continue to be advertised as fullbogons - netblocks that are used on the Internet despite not being assigned to an end user. While some Internet service providers do block fullbogons, this is by no means universal. Furthermore, 8chan’s main domain name, 8kun.top, is not currently hosted on N.T. Technology’s infrastructure, so would not be affected by ARIN deallocating N.T. Technology’s address space. It currently resolves to 203.28.246.1, which belongs to a netblock delegated to VanwaTech. VanwaTech, also known as OrcaTech, is a hosting company based in Vancouver, Washington and owned by Nick Lim. Nick Lim previously served as the CTO of Epik for a short period of time, a hosting company that briefly hosted 8chan after Cloudflare terminated its contract with 8chan.

In the October 2020 survey we received responses from 1,205,797,275 sites across 264,098,084 unique domains and 10,449,223 web-facing computers. This reflects a gain of 9.50 million hostnames and 111,000 computers, but a loss of 187,000 domains. nginx experienced the largest growth in domains and web-facing computers, where it leads with a total of 79.9 million domains and 3.58 million computers, giving it shares of 30.2% and 34.2%. However, nginx's growth was beaten by Google in terms of active sites, with Google gaining 1.31 million active sites compared to nginx's gain of 1.06 million. This growth makes Google the only major vendor to see an increase in its market share of active sites this month, which now stands just above 10%. Despite falling by 0.79 percentage points, Apache remains well in the lead with a 25.7% share of active sites. Contrary to its strong growth in other metrics, nginx saw the largest drop in its presence among the top million websites, with 3,030 fewer sites taking its share down to 25.5% while Apache continues to lead with 28.3%. Other notable changes this month include an 8.10% reduction in the number of domains powered by Microsoft web servers, which fell by 1.73 million to 19.6 million. Much of this was caused by the continuation of parked GoDaddy domains migrating from GoDaddy's own hosting infrastructure to OpenResty servers in Google Cloud, resulting in the number of OpenResty-powered domains rising by 1.92 million to 36.4 million. The only market in which Microsoft increased its share was within the top million websites, where it gained 319 additional sites to reach a share of 7.20%. DigitalOcean App Platform DigitalOcean has entered the Platform as a Service (PaaS) arena by launching its new App Platform product, which can be used to build, deploy and scale web applications and static websites. It is a fully managed service based on DigitalOcean Kubernetes and other open standards, offering much of the flexibility of Kubernetes without the associated complexity. Competing with the likes of AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Oracle Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure App Service, DigitalOcean App Platform offers a Starter pricing tier that lets customers become familiar with the platform by deploying up to three static sites free of charge, while dynamic apps can be built and deployed from $5/month. App Platform supports several popular languages and application frameworks out of the box, including PHP, Docker, Go, Node.js, Python and Ruby. All pricing tiers – including the free one – include global content delivery via Cloudflare, which means that applications deployed on App Platform will likely count towards the number of Cloudflare-hosted websites in future Netcraft surveys. New server releases nginx 1.19.3 was released on 29 September. This version in the mainline release branch incorporates several bug fixes, some new directives, and a new ngx_stream_set_module, which allows variables to be set in nginx configuration files. njs 0.4.4 was also released on 29 September. This version of the nginx-extending scripting language includes a new Buffer object as well as several other new features and bug fixes. NGINX Unit 1.20.0 was later released on 8 October, and introduces several new features, bug fixes, and support for ASGI 3.0. Apache Tomcat 8.5.59, Tomcat 9.0.39 and Tomcat 10.0.0-M9 were released on 9 October. Tomcat 10.0.0-M9 is considered a milestone release, as it switches from Java EE to Jakarta EE following the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation. Apache has provided a tool that automatically converts existing Java EE 8 projects that run on Tomcat 9 to Jakarta EE 9 projects that will run on this latest version of Tomcat 10.

The top seven hosting company sites each responded to all of Netcraft's requests in September and were separated by average connection time. Rackspace offers managed dedicated and cloud hosting solutions and has appeared in the top 10 seven times so far in 2020. Second place to fourth place is made up by Webair, Hyve Managed Hosting and Swishmail. Webair and Swishmail have appeared in the top 10 seven times in 2020 so far and Hyve has made six appearances. Webair provides a range of services including cloud management solutions and disaster recovery. Hyve is a fully managed UK based cloud hosting provider that offers colocation in 35 data centres across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia. Swishmail has now appeared in the top 10 for four consecutive months.

In the September 2020 survey we received responses from 1,196,298,727 sites, across 264,284,761 unique domains and 10,338,585 web-facing computers. Compared with last month, this is a loss of 34,277,859 sites and 10,901 web-facing computers, but a gain of 2,463,474 unique domains. Approximately 15 million domains have switched from Microsoft web server software to OpenResty, a web server which adds LuaJIT support to nginx. This represents a 5.97 percentage point drop in Microsoft’s market share of domains, and, accordingly, a 6.71 percentage point increase for OpenResty. OpenResty now powers 34.5 million domains, giving it a 13% market share and gaining it third place behind nginx and Apache. This huge swing is driven by GoDaddy migrating its customers’ parked domains from GoDaddy’s own hosting infrastructure to Google Cloud. Microsoft also experienced a large loss of 49,600 web-facing computers (-3.1%), unrelated to the GoDaddy OpenResty migration. The largest increase in web-facing computers was seen for Apache (+19,100), though this was not enough to re-take the lead from nginx, which became the largest web server vendor by this metric last month. Most of the large vendors saw drops in terms of the number of active sites hosted this month. Cloudflare and LiteSpeed are among the vendors who saw growth in this area despite the overall negative trend. Pepyaka (used by Wix) and Squarespace also both gained active sites (+3.0% and +2.6% respectively), reflecting the growing popularity of website builders. New vendor releases This month LiteSpeed released version 5.4.9 of the LiteSpeed Web Server. A small number of new features have been added in this update, including automatic CloudFlare CDN IP detection and support for bcrypt password hashes when using HTTP authentication. Apache have released three new versions of Tomcat this month – 8.5.58, 9.0.38 and 10.0.0-M8. These releases each add a number of new features and security patches. Notable changes include adding support for the Expect HTTP header, and adding support for setting read and write idle timeouts on websocket connections. Apache also released version 8.1.0 of Apache Traffic Server. This release focused on improving the stability, reliability and performance of the server’s HTTP/2 support.

The Netcraft Browser Extension now offers credential leak detection for extra protection against shopping site skimmers. With brick-and-mortar shops around the world closed due to COVID-19, consumers turned to online businesses to fulfil their shopping needs. According to Adobe’s Digital Economy Index report, US online spending in June was $73 billion, up 76% from $42 billion last year. Even with restrictions lifted, research commissioned by Visa suggests that 74% of Britons who shopped online more often during the lockdown will continue to do so. Now more than ever it is important to protect against JavaScript skimmers. These are snippets of malicious code which criminals upload to compromised shops. Unbeknownst to the store owner or the user, they transmit entered card details directly to the criminal. Unlike scams such as phishing, which can often be avoided by a vigilant internet user, skimmers are invisible to the human eye without a tool such as the Netcraft Extension to expose them. Netcraft currently blocks over 6,000 shopping sites which contain skimmers, and even large companies such as British Airways, Ticketmaster and Puma have fallen prey to these attacks in the past. The Netcraft Extension identifying and blocking a skimmer on an online shop When you visit a shopping site, the Netcraft extension will evaluate all requests made by the web page. If a request is found to be sending credentials to a different domain, the extension will block the request to prevent your data from being stolen. A block screen will notify you about the request and provide information about the malicious behaviour that was detected. Only card number leaks are currently blocked, but other types of credentials may be enabled in future updates. For example, if you check out using your credit card on exampleshoppingsite.com but your card details are sent to examplebadsite.com, the extension will block the request. This checking is done locally and securely in your browser – no sensitive information is sent to Netcraft. The extension will also block pages which make requests to malicious domains that are part of JavaScript attacks. In addition to shopping site skimmers, the Netcraft Extension also protects against other malicious JavaScript, phishing and fake shops, including those related to coronavirus. The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and the new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium. If you already have the Netcraft Extension installed, your browser will update it automatically.
