Liquorice Allsorts
Tags: frontendchallenge, devchallenge, css
Published: 2024-03-21 09:11:48

_This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, CSS Art: Favorite Snack._

## Inspiration 
Liquorice allsorts — my favourite snack, although not good for my blood pressure 😁

## Demo
{% codepen https://codepen.io/stoumann/pen/LYMKNRq %}

## Journey
Each delicious piece is a `<ul>`-tag with a `<li>` for each "layer":

![Layers](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/yim778cnfxtsuovatsek.png)

```html
<ul>
  <li style="--bg:#61442c"></li>
  <li style="--bg:#262626"></li>
  <li style="--bg:#61442c"></li>
  <li style="--bg:#262626"></li>
  <li style="--bg:#61442c"></li>
</ul>
```

And CSS:

```css
li {
  --h: calc(var(--w) / 6);
  background: var(--bg);
  grid-area: 1 / 1;
  height: var(--w);
  list-style: none;
  width: var(--w);
  position: relative;
}

ul {
  all: unset;
  display: grid;
}
```

To position the layers with an offset, `--h` (a sixth of the width), I use:

```css
  &:nth-of-type(1) {
    left: calc(0px - (2 * var(--h)));
    top: calc(0px - (2 * var(--h)));
  }
  &:nth-of-type(2) {
    left: calc(0px - var(--h));
    top: calc(0px - var(--h));
  }
  &:nth-of-type(4) {
    left: calc(0px - (-1 * var(--h)));
    top: calc(0px - (-1 * var(--h)));
  }
  &:nth-of-type(5) {
    left: calc(0px - (-2 * var(--h)));
    top: calc(0px - (-2 * var(--h)));
  }
```

Next, apply `transform: skewX(-20deg)` to the `<ul>`:

![Skew](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/68yel17m78gwq3yrvs60.png)

Add small "triangles" to the edges with `::before` and `::after` pseudo-elements — using `clip-path` for the triangles:

```css
li {
  &::after, &::before {
    background: var(--bg);
    content: '';
    height: var(--h);
    position: absolute;
    width: var(--h);
  }
  &::after {
    clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 100%, 100% 100%);
    right: 1px;
    top: calc(1px - var(--h));
  }
  &::before {
    bottom: 1px;
    clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%);
    left: calc(1px - var(--h));
  }
}
```

![Before and after](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/8lilkgv01fmve58hsxxh.png)

… and finally, apply a `box-shadow` to each `<li>`:

```css
li {
   box-shadow: calc(0px - var(--h)) calc(0px - var(--h)) 0 0px var(--bg);
}
```

![Box Shadow](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/22v3pf8td0zuoi0cqzlw.png)

And that's it! All there's left to do is to add or remove layers, change colors (yellow, orange, pink, white) — and rotate them:

```css
@keyframes rotate {
  0% { rotate: var(--d); }
  100% { rotate: calc(360deg + var(--d)); }
}
```

— where `--d` is a rotation angle set on each `<ul>`:

```html
<ul style="--d:91deg;"> ... </ul>
``` 

Enjoy your snack!

7 Ways to Motivate Remote Teams with Gamification
Published: 2024-03-21 09:00:58

The rise of remote work culture presents a challenge: keeping geographically dispersed teams engaged and motivated. Gamification, applying game-like mechanics in non-game contexts, offers a powerful solution. By tapping into the psychological drivers of motivation and engagement, gamification can transform your remote team.
Here are seven effective ways to use gamification:
1. Points and Leaderboards: Foster Friendly Competition
Assign points for completing tasks, achieving goals, or displaying desired behaviors.
Showcase these points on a leaderboard, which will ignite a spirit of friendly competition and motivate teams to climb the ranks.
Real-World Example:
Salesforce, a CRM giant, uses gamification to engage remote sales teams. Their "WIT Workforce Inspired" program awards points and badges for training completion, discussion participation, and hitting sales targets.  Leaderboards fuel healthy competition, drive learning, and boost performance.

2. Levels and Progress Bars: Track Achievement
Similar to video games, levels, and progress bars provide a sense of accomplishment and a clear path forward. Break down complex projects or goals into smaller milestones. Assign levels or progress bars to team members to track their advancement. They'll experience a sense of achievement at each level, propelling them forward.

3. Meaningful Rewards and Recognition: Amplify Engagement
While points and levels are motivating, pairing them with tangible rewards and recognition strengthens their impact. Celebrate achievements by offering rewards like gift cards, extra paid time off, or public recognition within the company. This reinforces positive behaviors and fosters a sense of appreciation and belonging within the remote team.

4. Social Elements: Bridge the Gap
Humans are social creatures, and remote work can feel isolating.  Gamification can bridge this gap by incorporating social elements that foster community. Encourage team members to share achievements, offer peer recognition, or collaborate on team challenges. Gamification in a remote workplace motivates individuals and strengthens team cohesion.

5. Storytelling and Narratives: Add Excitement
Crafting an engaging narrative or storyline around your gamification efforts can make the experience more immersive.  Weave a compelling story around your team's goals, challenges, and achievements, transforming mundane tasks into exciting quests or missions.  This narrative approach adds an extra layer of excitement and meaning to the gamification experience.

Brandolini's Law aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle.
Tags: news, productivity, webdev, programming
Published: 2024-03-21 09:00:00

**Why is there so much misinformation online (and everywhere else?)**

Before we start on Brandolini's Law: I can't recommend enough the seminal text by American philosopher Harry Frankfurt: ["On Bullshit"](https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691122946/on-bullshit). Arguably one of the most important works of XX century philosophy and it's very accessible, so don't be afraid to try it :)

## Brandolini's Law aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle

The reason is Brandolini's Law, also known as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. Formulated by Italian software developer Alberto Brandolini, this principle states that disproving false information requires significantly more energy than creating it. This imbalance makes it easier to spread falsehoods than to correct them, especially on social media and other digital platforms. This environment, coupled with humans' tendency to seek information confirming their beliefs (confirmation bias), amplifies misinformation.


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/cbhktd389arpgkocewb4.jpg) 

To counteract this, fact-checking and scepticism are crucial, but the challenge remains daunting due to the inherent effort disparity emphasized by Brandolini's Law.

In professional settings, this law is equally applicable. Leaders often face the challenging task of correcting oversimplified ideas or misinterpretations, whether it's about market trends, technical concepts, new technologies, project goals, or complex challenges. Each instance requires a disproportionate amount of effort to correct compared to the simplicity with which the incorrect notions were introduced and adopted.

**GCP - Google Cloud Platform**.
It consists of Compute Engine, APP Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run and GKE ( Google Kubernetes Engine)
**Compute Engine** consists of Virtual Machine Resources
App Engine consists of a serverless platform( no need to create a machine with Operating System) we can directly run application in this serverless platform. Managed by Google.
**Cloud Function** - It is also a serverless platform lets us to write and run code with existing run time to interact with various cloud services available in Google Cloud.
**Cloud Run** - It is also a serverless platform lets us to run containerized applications or build applications that runs on containers
**GKE** - It is an orchestration platform which manages the containerized applications.
GCP consists of Organization Node - Folders - Projects - Resources.
Billing is enabled at the project level. A folder can have one or more projects.  Resources are the Virtual Machines that we create inside the project.
We can have various folders like prod, non prod, dev, testing etc.
We can provide access to the team at the Folder level in order for them to operate.
GCP can be accessed from https://console.google.com
GCP sdk command line tool can be downloaded from https://cloud.google.com/sdk and used to play with GCP resources and services from local machine.
GCP cli is used to play with Virtual Machine, GKE, SQL Machines etc
GCP Billing tool can be accessed from https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator 
In order for us to access Virtual Machine without logging into them manually we can use Google Cloud Shell, Its a GUI terminal.
Billing can be organized in order to be cautious in expenses.
Budgets, Quotas, Reports and alerts helps to achieve it.
Google Cloud can be learnt for free 
from - https://cloud.google.com/learn?hl=en and https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/paths/
The base certification for Google Cloud is Google Cloud Digital Leader. Once we complete this we can progress towards Google Cloud Engineer and Google Cloud Architect.

What is the method Overriding & Overloading?
Published: 2024-03-21 08:42:00

Method overriding and method overloading are two important concepts in object-oriented programming, including JavaScript. Let's discuss each concept and provide examples in JavaScript:

1. **Method Overriding**:

   Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. This allows a subclass to provide a specialized implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass.

   Example in JavaScript:

   ```javascript
   class Animal {
     sound() {
       console.log("Animal makes a sound");
     }
   }

   class Dog extends Animal {
     sound() {
       console.log("Dog barks");
     }
   }

   const animal = new Animal();
   const dog = new Dog();

   animal.sound(); // Output: Animal makes a sound
   dog.sound();    // Output: Dog barks
   ```

2. **Method Overloading**:

   Method overloading refers to defining multiple methods with the same name but with different parameters or different number of parameters. This allows a single method name to perform different tasks based on the parameters passed to it.

   JavaScript does not support method overloading directly because it does not have method signatures. However, you can simulate method overloading by checking the number of arguments or the types of arguments within a function.

   Example in JavaScript:

   ```javascript
   class Calculator {
     add(a, b) {
       if (typeof b === 'undefined') {
         // Method overloading for one argument
         return a + a;
       } else {
         // Method overloading for two arguments
         return a + b;
       }
     }
   }

   const calculator = new Calculator();

   console.log(calculator.add(5, 3)); // Output: 8
   console.log(calculator.add(5));    // Output: 10 (overloaded method)
   ```

   In the above example, the `add` method is overloaded to handle both one argument (doubling the value) and two arguments (adding the values together). The method implementation checks the number of arguments to determine which operation to perform.

Types of inheritance and polymorphism in oop!
Published: 2024-03-21 08:37:25

In object-oriented programming, inheritance is a mechanism that allows a class (subclass or derived class) to inherit properties and behaviors from another class (superclass or base class). There are several types of inheritance:

1. **Single Inheritance**: A subclass inherits from only one superclass.
2. **Multilevel Inheritance**: A subclass inherits from another subclass, forming a hierarchy.
3. **Hierarchical Inheritance**: Multiple subclasses inherit from the same superclass.
4. **Multiple Inheritance**: A subclass inherits from multiple superclasses. Note that while some programming languages support multiple inheritance, others, like Java, do not allow it directly due to potential ambiguities.
5. **Hybrid Inheritance**: A combination of two or more types of inheritance.

Polymorphism, on the other hand, is the ability of objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass. There are two main types of polymorphism:

1. **Compile-time (Static) Polymorphism**: Also known as method overloading and operator overloading, it occurs when different functions have the same name but different parameter lists or when operators are overloaded with multiple functionalities.
   
2. **Run-time (Dynamic) Polymorphism**: This is achieved through method overriding, where a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its superclass. This allows a subclass to provide its own implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. Run-time polymorphism is achieved using inheritance and virtual functions/methods.

In summary, inheritance allows classes to inherit properties and behaviors from other classes, while polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass, providing flexibility and reusability in object-oriented programming.
