Neu: die KDE kommt mit Plasma 6, Frameworks 6 & Gear 24.02


KDE Plasma die eine moderne, und ausgesprochen funktionsreiche Desktop-Umgebung für Linux-basierte Betriebssysteme. Heute, am 28. Feb. 24 kommt KDE mit einem neuen Release.


Aus dem Release-Text: https://kde.org/de/announcements/megarelease/6/

KDE - seit langem für sein elegantes Design, die anpassbare Benutzeroberfläche und die umfangreichen Anwendungen bekannt, außerdem ist es Open Source, enthält keine Werbung und legt großen Wert auf den Schutz Eurer Privatsphäre und persönlichen Daten. Probiert es aus: Installiert Plasma auf Eurem aktuellen Laptop und genießt ganz einfach alle Vorteile eines hochmodernen Computererlebnisses - ganz einfach auch dann, wenn Eure Hardware nicht von Windows 11 unterstützt wird.


gleich zwei Sprünge in die Zukunft

Mit Plasma 6 wurde der KDE-Technologie-Stack zwei großen Upgrades unterzogen: einem Übergang zur neuesten Version unseres Anwendungsframeworks Qt und einer Migration auf die moderne Linux-Grafikplattform Wayland. Wir haben unser Bestes getan, um sicherzustellen, dass diese Änderungen für die Benutzer so reibungslos und unmerklich wie möglich ablaufen.

Wir werden weiterhin Unterstützung für die ältere X11-Sitzung für Benutzer bereitstellen, die vorerst lieber dabei bleiben möchten.

announcements: https://kde.org/de/announcements/megarelease/6/

Features - news - improvements:

Colors: Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations.

New Wallpaper: Transform your desktop with the mesmerizing 'Scarlet Tree' wallpaper by axo1otl. Capture the dynamic interplay between the sun's vibrant energy and the comet's celestial dance.

floating Panel: With Plasma 6, the panel now floats by default.

New Defaults!: Plasma 6.0 is a major new version, and we decided to change a few default settings to make it easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.
Introduction To Digital Electronics

## Introduction
Let's learn about the lowest level of computing, and that is Digital Circuits. And let's start by understanding few key concepts.
## What is Signal?
Signal is a function that represents the variation of a physical quantity with respect to a parameter.
In Electronics, Signal is a variation of Electrical quantity with respect to time.
## What is Analog Signal?
Signals that represent information in a continuous range are called Analog Signals. e.g. Temperature at a given point of time.
## What is Digital Signal?
Signals that represent information in a sequence of discrete values are called Digital Signals. e.g. Temperature at a given point of time is hot or cold.
## What is Discrete Time Signal?
Signals that represent information in discrete time intervals is called Discrete Time Signal. e.g. Temperature everyday at 9 am in the morning.
## What is Noise?
Noise is an unwanted Signal. e.g. what irritates us in phone calls, or video calls.
## What is a Digital System?
A Digital System is a system that processes Digital Signals to perform various kinds of Operations. e.g. Computer, Calculator, etc. are Digital Systems. Digital Systems follow below hierarchy.
Digital System -> Sub-systems -> Modules -> Units (Logic Gates) -> Circuits (Transistors)
## Advantages of Digital Signals Over Analog Signals
All real-life signals are analog signals. We have to convert them to Digital signals. It costs money, but is worth it! Let's understand how.
1. Digital Signals can cancel out smaller amounts of noise and give accurate information because it represents data in a sequence of discrete values.
2. Digital Signals can be processed and used easily by us. Analog Signals are complex and sometimes too difficult to use.
3. Digital Signals are a sequence of discrete values and hence can be easily reproduced when required. To give a more Philosophical example you can replay a video game, try out as well as copy different strategies, but it's not possible doing the same in the game of life.
4. There are more advantages also, like the use of less bandwidth, encryption, etc.

## What is a Switch?
Switch is a Device that can connect and disconnect an Electrical circuit.
We can create layers of discrete values using switches. For example with only 1 switch we have either on or off, 1 or 0, 2 values. But with 2 switches we have 11, 10, 01, 00, 4 values. With 3 swiches we have 111, 110, 101, 100, 011, 010, 001, 000, 8 values. For n switches we have 2 ** n values.
Hence switch becomes an integral part of Digital Electronics.
## Conclusion
These are some of the basic terminologies we should be familiar with and going forward we'll delve deep into Digital Electronics. Cheers!
Developer diary #2. Cross-platform pain
Published: 2024-02-28 21:28:04

Today I worked on the configuration of the KMP project. Every time, it confuses me, because it looks so complicated. Build Gradle file that contains some magic, that makes the project runnable. If you try to understand what each line of code means, you will be more confused. Because in different articles, this is described differently. 

One additional moment that I hate is that if you create a new KMP project, very often it has a differents setup. It happens, because there are many ways to set up the KMP project (different wizards, different versions of plugins, etc.). How result, every time, as the first time.

And If you want to increase complexity, you should only try setting up different flavors for the KMP project. You should configure separately Android, iOS and common parts for this. I didn't find inbuilt solutions for this. Only several workarounds for this. 

One additional [plugin](https://github.com/yshrsmz/BuildKonfig) that simulate the behavior of the BuildConfi file for KMP.
Interesting [variant](https://github.com/pererikbergman/multiplatform-flavors) of splitting module dependency based on flavors.
And [discussion](https://slack-chats.kotlinlang.org/t/15511008/hi-is-there-any-workaround-how-to-use-flavors-in-kotlin-mult) in slack about this.
Ruby Data structures; creating arrays
Tags: beginners, programming, tutorial
Published: 2024-02-28 21:27:28

Today I was doing the codeacademy lessons on ruby. I worked on arrays and iterators today. I learned that you can access by index within arrays. I also learned a little bit about hash iterators and literal notation. I learned that using a hash.new method vs literal notation basically comes down to personal preference as the difference in time between the two is minute. Key's and values are really important in hashes and that ruby is able to distinguish between the two within a loop. 

Iterating through an array of an array requires nested loop and I also need to make sure I put strings within hashes in `""` otherwise I'll have issues with my code.
Lessons from opensource: Add a defensive type-safe error handler in your catch block
Tags: webdev, javascript, opensource, node
Published: 2024-02-28 21:22:44

These lessons are picked from [next.js/create-next-app](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) open source code. In this article, you will see an unique error handler mechanims implemented in catch block.

## isErrorLike function within catch block:

![isErrorLike fn](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/omnz2nkpkpwr184uogzv.png)
Source: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/create-next-app/create-app.ts#L180

I never wrote a function within catch block that was used within catch, that is an interesting pattern because you are defining the function within the proximity. 

Imagine this isErrorLike function is at the top of your file, there is nothing wrong with that if you use isErrorLike in other places in the same file. But, if you don’t, just put the function within the catch block.

```
function isErrorLike(err: unknown): err is { message: string } {
  return (
    typeof err === 'object' &&
    err !== null &&
    typeof (err as { message?: unknown }).message === 'string'
  )
}
```

The above function adds a type-safety to the error expected and that it should contain message property.

## DownloadError class

I looked at DownloadError and thought “This is cool, create-next-app has a class specific to DownloadError”.

How much efforts do you put it in to throw errors with class names aligned with the “try” block context? I usually just do throw new Error. But the authors of create-next-app chose to be specific in naming the error by defining it as [DownloadError class](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/create-next-app/create-app.ts#L24).

```
export class DownloadError extends Error {}
```

This class was part of [create-app.ts](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/create-next-app/create-app.ts#L24) file because this is where you download and extract a Github repo, my point is, this class is in the right file and is used only in 2 places across the codebase.

## Conclusion:
You can add a function like isErrorLike within catch block and in the proximity. You can declare it at the top of the file but I would do it only if I am using isErrorLike in other places. If not, I would just put it with in catch block.

Be specific with the thrown “Error” by defining a class name that extends Error in typescript like the “DownloadError”.
