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.

Though python has been created by Guido van Rossum as a hobby project in the 90’s decade, it has become the most popular language now. Due to its ability to work in various fields and easy syntax...

Python and Java are two of the most popular programming languages in the world, and have both been around for over 20 years. In that time there have been numerous attempts to provide interoperability between them, with varying methods and levels of success. One such project is JPype, which allows you to use Java classes in your Python code. In this episode the current maintainer, Karl Nelson, explains why he chose it as his preferred tool for combining these ecosystems, how he and his team are using it, and when and how you might want to use it for your own projects. He also discusses the work he has done to enable use of JPype on Android, and what is in store for the future of the project. If you have ever wanted to use a library or module from Java, but the rest of your project is already in Python, then this episode is definitely worth a listen.Summary Python and Java are two of the most popular programming languages in the world, and have both been around for over 20 years.

Python supports a wide range of arithmetic operators that you can use when working with numbers in your code. One of these operators is the modulo operator (%), which returns the remainder of dividing two numbers. In this tutorial, you’ll learn: How modulo works in mathematics How to use the Python modulo operator with different numeric types How Python calculates the results of a modulo operation How to override .__mod__() in your classes to use them with the modulo operator How to use the Python modulo operator to solve real-world problems The Python modulo operator can sometimes be overlooked. But having a good understanding of this operator will give you an invaluable tool in your Python tool belt. Free Bonus: Click here to get a Python Cheat Sheet and learn the basics of Python 3, like working with data types, dictionaries, lists, and Python functions. Modulo in Mathematics# The term modulo comes from a branch of mathematics called modular arithmetic. Modular arithmetic deals with integer arithmetic on a circular number line that has a fixed set of numbers. All arithmetic operations performed on this number line will wrap around when they reach a certain number called the modulus. A classic example of modulo in modular arithmetic is the twelve-hour clock. A twelve-hour clock has a fixed set of values, from 1 to 12. When counting on a twelve-hour clock, you count up to the modulus 12 and then wrap back to 1. A twelve-hour clock can be classified as “modulo 12,” sometimes shortened to “mod 12.” The modulo operator is used when you want to compare a number with the modulus and get the equivalent number constrained to the range of the modulus. For example, say you want to determine what time it would be nine hours after 8:00 a.m. On a twelve-hour clock, you can’t simply add 9 to 8 because you would get 17. You need to take the result, 17, and use mod to get its equivalent value in a twelve-hour context: 8 o'clock + 9 = 17 o'clock 17 mod 12 = 5 17 mod 12 returns 5. This means that nine hours past 8:00 a.m. is 5:00 p.m. You determined this by taking the number 17 and applying it to a mod 12 context. Now, if you think about it, 17 and 5 are equivalent in a mod 12 context. If you were to look at the hour hand at 5:00 and 17:00, it would be in the same position. Modular arithmetic has an equation to describe this relationship: a ≡ b (mod n) This equation reads “a and b are congruent modulo n.” This means that a and b are equivalent in mod n as they have the same remainder when divided by n. In the above equation, n is the modulus for both a and b. Using the values 17 and 5 from before, the equation would look like this: 17 ≡ 5 (mod 12) This reads “17 and 5 are congruent modulo 12.” 17 and 5 have the same remainder, 5, when divided by 12. So in mod 12, the numbers 17 and 5 are equivalent. You can confirm this using division: 17 / 12 = 1 R 5 5 / 12 = 0 R 5 Both of the operations have the same remainder, 5, so they’re equivalent modulo 12. Now, this may seem like a lot of math for a Python operator, but having this knowledge will prepare you to use the modulo operator in the examples later in this tutorial. In the next section, you’ll look at the basics of using the Python modulo operator with the numeric types int and float. Python Modulo Operator Basics# The modulo operator, like the other arithmetic operators, can be used with the numeric types int and float. As you’ll see later on, it can also be used with other types like math.fmod(), decimal.Decimal, and your own classes. Modulo Operator With int# Most of the time you’ll use the modulo operator with integers. The modulo operator, when used with two positive integers, will return the remainder of standard Euclidean division: Read the full article at https://realpython.com/python-modulo-operator/ » [ Improve Your Python With ?

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 scatter plot in Seaborn. We'll cover simple scatter plots, multiple scatter plots with FacetGrid as well as 3D scatter plots. Import Data We'll use the World Happiness dataset, and compare the Happiness Score against varying features to see what influences perceived happiness in the world: import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('worldHappiness2016.csv') Plot a Scatter Plot in Seaborn Now, with the dataset loaded, let's import PyPlot, which we'll use to show the graph, as well as Seaborn. We'll plot the Happiness Score against the country's Economy (GDP per Capita): import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('worldHappiness2016.csv') sns.scatterplot(data = df, x = "Economy (GDP per Capita)", y = "Happiness Score") plt.show() Seaborn makes it really easy to plot basic graphs like scatter plots. We don't need to fiddle with the Figure object, Axes instances or set anything up, although, we can if we want to. Here, we've supplied the df as the data argument, and provided the features we want to visualize as the x and y arguments. These have to match the data present in the dataset and the default labels will be their names. We'll customize this in a later section. Now, if we run this code, we're greeted with: Here, there's a strong positive correlation between the economy (GDP per capita) and the perceived happiness of the inhabitants of a country/region. Plotting Multiple Scatter Plots in Seaborn with FacetGrid If you'd like to compare more than one variable against another, such as - the average life expectancy, as well as the happiness score against the economy, or any variation of this, there's no need to create a 3D plot for this. While 2D plots that visualize correlations between more than two variables exist, some of them aren't fully beginner friendly. Seaborn allows us to construct a FacetGrid object, which we can use to facet the data and construct multiple, related plots, one next to the other. Let's take a look at how to do that: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import pandas as pd import seaborn as sns df = pd.read_csv('worldHappiness2016.csv') grid = sns.FacetGrid(df, col = "Region", hue = "Region", col_wrap=5) grid.map(sns.scatterplot, "Economy (GDP per Capita)", "Health (Life Expectancy)") grid.add_legend() plt.show() Here, we've created a FacetGrid, passing our data (df) to it. By specifying the col argument as "Region", we've told Seaborn that we'd like to facet the data into regions and plot a scatter plot for each region in the dataset. We've also assigned the hue to depend on the region, so each region has a different color. Finally, we've set the col_wrap argument to 5 so that the entire figure isn't too wide - it breaks on every 5 columns into a new row. To this grid object, we map() our arguments. Specifically, we specified a sns.scatterplot as the type of plot we'd like, as well as the x and y variables we want to plot in these scatter plots. This results in 10 different scatter plots, each with the related x and y data, separated by region. We've also added a legend in the end, to help identify the colors. Plotting a 3D Scatter Plot in Seaborn Seaborn doesn't come with any built-in 3D functionality, unfortunately. It's an extension of Matplotlib and relies on it for the heavy lifting in 3D. Though, we can style the 3D Matplotlib plot, using Seaborn. Let's set the style using Seaborn, and visualize a 3D scatter plot between happiness, economy and health: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import pandas as pd import seaborn as sns from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D df = pd.read_csv('2016.csv') sns.set(style = "darkgrid") fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection = '3d') x = df['Happiness Score'] y = df['Economy (GDP per Capita)'] z = df['Health (Life Expectancy)'] ax.set_xlabel("Happiness") ax.set_ylabel("Economy") ax.set_zlabel("Health") ax.scatter(x, y, z) plt.show() Running this code results in an interactive 3D visualization that we can pan and inspect in three-dimensional space, styled as a Seaborn plot: Customizing Scatter Plots in Seaborn Using Seaborn, it's easy to customize various elements of the plots you make. For example, you can set the hue and size of each marker on a scatter plot. Let's change some of the options and see how the plot looks like when altered: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('2016.csv') sns.scatterplot(data = df, x = "Economy (GDP per Capita)", y = "Happiness Score", hue = "Region", size = "Freedom") plt.show() Here, we've set the hue to Region which means that data from different regions will have different colors. Also, we've set the size to be proportional to the Freedom feature. The higher the freedom factor is, the larger the dots are: Or you can set a fixed size for all markers, as well as a color: sns.scatterplot(data = df, x = "Economy (GDP per Capita)", y = "Happiness Score", hue = "red", size = 5) Conclusion In this tutorial, we've gone over several ways to plot a scatter plot using Seaborn and Python.

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.

In the August 2020 survey we received responses from 1,230,576,586 sites across 261,821,287 unique domains and 10,349,486 web-facing computers. This represents a loss of 3.65 million sites, but a gain of 1.16 million domains and 128,000 computers. The number of web-facing computers using nginx increased by 83,000 this month, which means that - for the first time - nginx is in use by more web-facing computers than any other web server, including Apache. This is another milestone for nginx, and reflects its impressive growth in recent years. Apache still serves more active sites than nginx, and a greater proportion of the top million busiest sites, but this month its decline in these metrics continued. One year ago, among the top million busiest sites, nginx trailed Apache’s market share by 6 percentage points. nginx has since halved this gap, and is now less than 3 percentage points behind. If the current trend continues, it won’t be long before nginx overtakes Apache in this area too. As well as a marked decrease in total sites this month of 22.14 million (-15.8%), Microsoft also suffered in other metrics this month. The number of domains served using Microsoft software dropped by 8.27 million (-18.4%), and 19,000 fewer web-facing computers (-1.2%) are running Microsoft web servers. Microsoft also lost 633,000 active sites (-7.3%). New vendor releases Apache released three new versions of httpd this month. Version 2.4.44 fixed several bugs, version 2.4.45 dropped support for the abandoned HTTP2 Cache Digests proposal, and version 2.4.46 fixed three security vulnerabilities. This month nginx released updates for three of its products. nginx 19.1.2 mainline was released on 11 August with a few minor optimizations and several bugfixes. On the same day, njs 0.4.3 was released, adding support for the querystring module. On 13 August nginx Unit 1.19.0 was released, which introduced several new features, improved performance, and fixed a number of bugs.
