What is GEEK

Buddha Community

Sign in, sign up, log in, log up..?

Last year I found myself in an interesting conversation about which copy to use for a website’s sign up journey. And it wasn’t the first time. Often this devolves into an opinion-based discussion among stakeholders of the ‘what-I-like-based-on-no-evidence’ variety.

I ended up writing a small piece of best practice guidance, based on approximately 12 years’ experience of user testing private and public sector products.

(TLDR: yes, it depends)

Sign in, log in, register

The key to choosing terminology is intent — what are you communicating about the experience?

First use

When you want to capture user data for the first time, the way you ask communicates what the website or app is for. This is because you are using words that the user will already associate with other experiences throughout their lives, not just digital products —so you need to be aware of the connotations and mental models that already exist.

Yes, you should do research to understand users and yes you should user test however there are also some patterns that I’ve seen over the years that can help you form your initial hypothesis:

Sign up — is pretty generic and appropriate for most products and services. The only time I’ve seen users hesitate on this phrase is when the website is super secure and ‘sign up’ has been perceived as slightly frivolous.

Register — is slightly more formal and potentially appropriate to a government website, for example you ‘register’ to vote. Users tend to associate this with an almost legal meaning. One person, one registration. It is a claiming of one’s own identity in relation to a product.

Using Azure Log Analytics Workspaces to collect Custom Logs from your VM

Motivation:

We all have seen the Monitoring Tab Key Metrics on the VM Page. Yes, it is useful to see whether the CPU has been running or not through the **CPU **metrics, to check when the VM is getting the data from the outside world through Network In metrics and if the VM is doing any kind of write operation using **Disk Operations/Sec **metrics but it’s not effective for the custom services that we build on VM. So, in this blog, I will be giving you an example of how to create your own log based on customer service, bring it to Azure Log Analytics Workspace using its default agent, and query it according to our needs, even better create an alert on it.

Prerequisites:

1. An Azure Account
2. Azure Virtual Machine Service
3. Azure Log Analytics Workspace Service
4. Azure Alert Service

Azure Virtual Machine:

Let’s start with the VM itself. You already have the service running on the VM but don’t know how to get those logs into the portal or even create a log for your services. So, let’s assume that you have not created the logs for your services. So for this blog, I will be taking a simple flask app as my example for the service. To get it up and running we must download the flask library from pip and then create a flask app similar to this below:

Replace Elements in Python NumPy Array with Example

In this article, we will learn how to replace elements in Python NumPy Array. To replace elements in Python NumPy Array, We can follow the following examples.

Example 1 : Replace Elements Equal to Some Value

The following code shows how to replace all elements in the NumPy array equal to 8 with a new value of 20:

#replace all elements equal to 8 with 20
my_array[my_array == 8] = 20

#view updated array
print(my_array)

[ 4  5  5  7 20 20  9 12]

Example 2: Replace Elements Based on One Condition

The following code shows how to replace all elements in the NumPy array greater than 8 with a new value of 20:

#replace all elements greater than 8 with 20
my_array[my_array > 8] = 20

#view updated array
print(my_array)

[ 4  5  5  7  8  8 20 20]

Example 3: Replace Elements Based on Multiple Conditions

The following code shows how to replace all elements in the NumPy array greater than 8 or less than 6 with a new value of 20:

#replace all elements greater than 8 or less than 6 with a new value of 20
my_array[(my_array > 8) | (my_array < 6)] = 20

#view updated array
print(my_array)

[20 20 20  7  8  8 20 20]

Monotone: An Unsplash Application for IOS

Monotone

Monotone is a Modern Mobile Application, integrated with powerful Unsplash API provided by Unsplash. It implemented almost all features including viewing, searching, collecting photos. And other features, such as profile, license, FAQ are supported as well.

This is an un-official application, exploring the feasibility of some conceptions is the goal of this project. Written in Swift, triggered by RxSwift, draw responsive constraints using SnapKit.

If you like this project or inspired by any ideas of this project, please star it without any hesitation. (ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ)

Getting Started

This application uses Cocoapods to manage dependencies. Please refer to Cocoapods Offical Website to install & configure(If you already installed Cocoapods, skip this).

Prerequisites

Monotone is trigged by Unsplash API . The very first thing must be done is applying a pair of OAuth key to run it.

1. Visit Unsplash, sign up then sign in.(If you already have an account, skip this).
2. Visit Unsplash Application Registration Platform agree with terms and create a new application, the application name and description can be anything.
3. After the application was created，it will redirect to the application details page automatically (Also can be found from https://unsplash.com/oauth/applications). At Redirect URI & Permissions - Redirect URI section, input monotone://unsplash, make sure all authentication options are checked, just like the image shown below.

1. After the work is finished, check ”Access Key“ and ”Secret Key“ on this page, they will be used soon.

Installation

1. Execute the following commands in the terminal:

# Clone to a local folder
git clone https://github.com/Neko3000/Monotone.git

# Direct to Project folder
cd Monotone

# Install Pods
pod install

1. Under Monotone folder, duplicate config_debug.json file，and rename it to config.json(This file is ignored by .gitignore)；
2. Open config.json ，input your ”Access Key“ and ”Secret Key“，they will be copyed to APP folder when running.(For more information, please refer to the content in Project->Build Phases->Run Script and APPCredential.swift )；
3. Done，command + R。

To Log, or Not to Log, That is The Question.

Logging is one of the those things are universally present in software projects with their different unique forms, requirements, and flavors.

Logging is everywhere, from small 1-person-startups to large enterprises. Even a simple algorithmic programming question involves some logging along the way.

We rely so much on logging to develop, maintain, and keep our programs up and running. However, not much attention has been paid to how to design logging within our systems.

Often times, logging is treated as a second thought – it’s only sprinkled into source code upon implementation like some magic powder that helps lighten the day-to-day operational abyss in our systems.
