A proposal currently being discussed within the OpenJDK community aims to bring a full-featured version of open-source Java to RISC-V hardware. If approved, this initiative could result in the availability of Java on RISC-V systems as early as Java Development Kit (JDK) 18, which is scheduled for release in September. The initial focus would be on supporting Java on Linux for RISC-V, with the RV64G instruction set architecture (ISA) being the primary target, alongside experimental support for vector operations. This project has garnered support from major companies such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Red Hat. Huawei, in particular, has already developed…
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a security vulnerability where attackers trick an authenticated user into executing unwanted actions on a web application. By exploiting the trust a site has in the user’s browser, an attacker can make requests on behalf of the user, potentially causing actions like making unauthorized purchases or transferring funds. Understanding and mitigating CSRF attacks is critical for any web developer, especially when using frameworks like ASP.NET Core. This article will explore how CSRF attacks work and provide guidance on how to prevent them in ASP.NET Core 6. We’ll go through the steps of setting up an…
In recent years, metaframeworks like Next.js and Gatsby have gained significant popularity for building modern web applications. Among the latest of these frameworks is SvelteKit, designed to provide a full-stack platform for building reactive web apps with Svelte. Much like its predecessors, SvelteKit combines both the front-end and back-end aspects of web development, making it an all-in-one solution for developers. SvelteKit serves as the successor to Sapper, the previous full-stack framework for Svelte. While Sapper laid the groundwork for building full-stack apps with Svelte, SvelteKit refines and improves upon these ideas, offering more advanced features and optimizations for today’s web…
The latest release of the Electron framework, version 15.0.0, has introduced some exciting new features aimed at enhancing security and improving the development experience for building cross-platform desktop applications. One of the standout additions is the new encryption API, which includes a string encryption feature designed to protect data stored locally. This API allows developers to encrypt and decrypt strings and provides the ability to check if encryption is available, ensuring sensitive information remains secure. In addition to the encryption API, Electron 15.0.0 brings several important updates to the underlying software stack. These updates include a bump to Chromium 94,…
In 2018, Java made a significant shift in its development cycle with the introduction of a new release cadence. Instead of the traditional longer release intervals, Java now delivers updates every six months, making it easier to access the latest features. This change has allowed the language to stay more current, but it also means that some features might go unnoticed by developers. In this article, we will highlight some of the most impactful updates that are worth exploring. One of the key features introduced in recent Java versions is the Optional class. This class was introduced in Java 8…
Racing bar charts are a visually dynamic way to showcase data comparisons over time, allowing users to easily track changes across multiple categories. In R, there are several methods to create these charts, such as utilizing gganimate with ggplot2 or leveraging echarts4r. However, one of the simplest and most effective ways to create racing bar charts is by using the ddplot package, which offers a seamless integration with R and enables the creation of smooth and interactive animations. To get started with ddplot, it’s important to note that the package is not available on CRAN. Instead, you can install it…
Swift 5.5: Embracing Async/Await, Structured Concurrency, and Actors for Modern Development
Swift 5.5 marks a significant update to Apple’s programming language, enhancing its concurrency model and improving how developers interact with asynchronous code. One of the most noteworthy features of Swift 5.5 is the introduction of async/await, a mechanism that simplifies asynchronous programming. This development aligns Swift more closely with other modern programming languages that support async/await, enabling developers to write cleaner, more readable, and less error-prone code. By providing a natural syntax for handling asynchronous tasks, Swift 5.5 drastically reduces the complexity often associated with callback-based programming. A standout feature in Swift 5.5 is the enhanced concurrency model, which includes…
Go, like many modern programming languages, provides built-in support for testing through its testing package and the go test command. This makes it easy for developers to create, run, and manage unit tests for their codebases, helping ensure that applications behave as expected. In Go, unit tests are typically placed in a separate file with the suffix _test.go to differentiate them from the main application code. This naming convention signals to the Go testing tool that the file contains test cases that should be executed when running tests. The process of creating and running unit tests is straightforward, offering a…
The long-running legal dispute between Oracle and Google, which spanned over a decade, has finally concluded, and the outcome is seen as a significant victory for the open-source community. The case began in 2010 when Oracle accused Google of copyright infringement for using Oracle’s Java API in the development of the Android operating system. Initially, the District Court sided with Google, but the decision was overturned on appeal, eventually making its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In a six-to-two ruling, the Court ultimately favored Google, declaring that its use of Oracle’s Java API fell under fair use, marking a…
Ruby on Rails 7, now in its alpha stage, introduces a significant overhaul in how JavaScript is handled within the framework. After five years of reliance on the Webpacker tool for bundling JavaScript, Rails 7 shifts to a new approach that eliminates the need for Node.js, offering a more streamlined and modern way to handle JavaScript dependencies. This change comes as browser support for ECMAScript 6 and JavaScript modules improves, making it easier for developers to import JavaScript modules directly without the need for complex tooling. The update also brings the Import Maps for Rails tool into play, allowing developers…
