Cryptocurrencies are a religion as much as they are a technology. They almost have to be, given their adherents’ gargantuan ambition of fundamentally changing how the world works. This means they attract charlatans, lunatics, frauds, and false prophets, and furious battles are waged over doctrinal hairspliitting; but it also means they inspire intransigent beliefs which […]

In this episode, we baked the Celery worker and beat scheduler tool into the Shiv app. This is one more step on the path to simplifying the set of tools on the production server. I started the stream by reviewing the refactoring that I did to conductor/main.py. The main file is used to dispatch to different tools with the Shiv bundle. The refactored version can pass control to Gunicorn, the Django management tools, or Celery.

<meta charset="utf-8"> Part of the journey is the end. It is time for me to work on my final work report for final evaluation of Google Summer of Code 2019. This week, I will devote my time mainly to write my final report and final blog post. If time permits, I will work on my PRs from last week. Last week, I worked on getting Travis to push automatically to PyPI and I redid benchmarking.  

  <meta charset="utf-8"> Hello! This is my second last blog post for GSoC 2019 - time has gone by so quickly. I spend this week documenting Protego’s API in detail. I opened a pull request to add Protego integration in Scrapy. I added PyPy test environment and modified Protego to treat non-terminal dollar sign as ordinary character. Up next, I will start the process to transfer Protego to Scrapy organisation on GitHub. I would modify `SitemapCrawler` in Scrapy to use the new interface, and implement a `ROBOTSTXT_USER_AGENT` setting in Scrapy. I faced minor problems trying to setup PyPy environment in Travis. With the help from mentors, I was able to resolve the issue.

  Hey everyone! This is my final blog post here. GSoC 19 has finally come to its end. This week I mostly worked on hg abort --update What did I do this week? This week I worked on writing intensive-tests for hg update --abort As suggested by @mharbison72 I worked on cases where we need to take considerations of subrepos and check cases where a subrepo is dirty and cases where more than one subrepo is present and conflicts for one or more of them is resolved but not all conflicts are resolved so as to check the unmark feature. The patch is still under review but it too will soon get accepted. Did you get stuck anywhere? I did not get on anything major this week . I did have to perfect the code considering some endpoint cases but it came around fine enough.   Finally, I would like to  thank Pulkit for reviewing the patches and solving the doubts despite having a busy schedule, Martin and other people in the community for teaching the basic etiquettes and facts required to be a better open-source contributor and solving the doubts no matter how silly they were. Adios !

Did I need to read a fifteen hundred page book to learn Python? At the end of fourteen hundred pages, I can safely assure you, I did not. If you want to just solve your pressing issues or scratch your itch, or just plain get started with programming (and programming in Python specifically), I’d recommend starting with a simple, fast paced book, like Python for you and me, and then doing tons of practice.1 Mark Lutz, as he closes the book, himself laments that Python has gotten too big to hold in your head. And by doing so, has lost some of the simplicity and the joy and fun and the magic, Python held for the early adopters of the language. And yet, having said all this, boy, am I glad, I read the book. This is a master class from a master. I may not have understood everything. I may have skimmed a chapter or two (Lutz assures me, it’s ok :P), but what this book has done to my mind, the furrows it has ploughed, will be with me forever. I have been trying to get into the book, multiple times since I bought it. It took me a long time, before, as Mortimer Adler puts it, I could come to terms with the author. The only reason I kept coming back, was because, Mark’s earnest teaching voice shines through, and I loved it, even if I did not quite get what he was saying in the beginning. And the reason I could get through it (and enjoy it) this time, because I decided to follow his advice and follow along on the computer. To actually type in the code, and see what happens. Yes, the book is big, yes, the concepts are repeated a couple of times, but as I progressed, I could feel him sweating the small stuff over and over, just so that I could understand things, so that I would not get scared away. Time and again, the book reassured me, that what was said, was not as complicated or hard as it read on the page. And that turned out to be true as I kept trying the examples out. While I still have a long way to go, before I can remotely be called fluent, I know this book will have a been a big reason, I will be.2 This book was last updated, oh, some six years ago, and yet unless Python decides to change radically, I dare say, the principles in here will stand the test of time. This was a great read and will serve as an awesome reference on my Python journey. If you are slightly kooky like me, and you want to know, why things are the way they are as you learn to program in Python, get this book. Which is actually, what I am doing. ↩ Besides the practice, that is. ↩

This is going to be blog post about cleaning up the work I was doing and revisiting some old things I have done during the GSoC period.   What did I do this week? I got a patch merged for adding `experimental` argument to the config registrar. But, reviewers asked me to send a compatibility fix as a follow-up as the extension `perf` was failing for older versions of Mercurial. So, I had sent a patch[1] about that and it got folded to the old merged patch by the reviewers. Also, I was asked some questions by my mentor on some of the patches in the stack of `--unresolved`. I investigated on them and answered. A couple of patches were stuck in the middle as I was not able to reproduce the test results in the bug description apparently. So, I investigated on that and updated the patches[2][3]. Then, I started documenting the things I have done during the whole summer as the final report of GSoC. You can read it here[4].   Did you get stuck anywhere? I was stuck in reproducing the test results given in one of the bug descriptions. But, I found that it was due to a missing indentation. It might sound trivial but, it was not. This was later resolved and the patch was accepted by my mentor,

All that this component does is display a blank page on the site that is attached to a menu item. What is this for? In order to attach empty output to the page, which does not create a load on either requests or rendering. Most often, this is required on the main page of the site or on special landing pages. By default in Joomla, the favorited articles are attached to the main page. Few people know, but this page is one of the most heavy pages in the core components of Joomla. Why you can not do with the template? Not all templates support disabling component output on a specific page. Not all templates allow you to safely implement the necessary edits to disable component output without losing edits when a component can be updated. Not all webmasters are able to make the necessary changes to the template. What if the template creates markup with padding around empty output? Override the only view template for this component and manually prescribe styles to hide the wrapper block. If you do not know how to do this and what exactly to prescribe — contact a qualified specialist.

A BruteForce attack is a major security risk to any website. In this type of attack, a hacker tries to guess a user's password with millions of requests. Especially weak passwords are vulnerable to this type of attack. In addition, a BruteForce attack can cause availability issues. Joomla has no built-in BruteForce protection. This Joomla System plugin fills this gap by adding a captcha challenge to all Joomla login forms. It slows down the attack considerably and therefore prevents it. It works with the default Joomla login-component, the default Joomla login-module and the administrator page. Tested with the recaptcha-plugins shipped by Joomla. If you want to use other common login components or other common captcha plugins, you are welcome to open an issue. If you have problems with common templates, please also open an issue. (Only free and open source components, ....) Joomla 4 ready! For details and help please refer to https://github.com/BkrBkr/AuthCaptchaForJoomla Installation - Configure and enable a captcha-plugin in Joomla (e.g. recaptcha) (details: https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Google_ReCaptcha ) - Install and enable this plugin. - Clear Joomla cache if enabled
