If you're like many project owners or maintainers, your software project might span tens or hundreds of GitHub repos, and your repo configuration may be wildly variable. How do you make sure that your repos always have a standard configuration in place, like a code of conduct, a security.md file, a license file, secret scanning, and Dependabot? It's a lot to remember and to continuously monitor. Fortunately, you don't have to—there are free tools like Minder available to help. 

In this demo, Stacklok engineer Eleftheria Stein-Kousathana demos how to use Minder, an open source software supply chain security platform, to help you keep your GitHub repos consistently configured and secure for your end users.

_liner notes_:
- Saturday : Actually got to the station around the time I used to before my Japan trip. I set up for the show and did the on air broadcast. Had a good time as usual. Pretty normal day. The recording of this week's show is at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com

![Radio show episode image of 3 piles of papers with the words June 15th 2024 Overthinking](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/msfy46xjm6y2essml8um.jpg)

- Sunday : Did the study sessions at https://untilit.works Didn't get a lot of coding done, mostly testing some technologies out, but I did finally get some packages ready to be shipped. Also, I got some work done on a logo I've been meaning to finish up. Ended the night watching an episode of "The Boys". Also realized that I've been missing episodes of "Demon Slayer".

- Professional : Pretty good day. Had a couple of meetings in the morning. Met with my manager to plan some things. Responded to some community questions. Got some work done on a refactoring project. Spent the rest of the day once again filling out and submitting a form to get a visa.

- Personal : I've decided to "start from scratch" with a project that I created. The framework and adapter have since been updated and when I tried to upgrade another project, I ran into some issues and just started over. It's not really starting from scratch, I should be able to just copy over the components into the new project. We'll see. I still want to finish up my current project for which the logo was for and possibly add a new project to it. Want to get that done this week.

![A photo of a snow-capped mountain with a blue sky in the background. The mountain is in the distance and appears to be very tall. The sky is clear and there are no clouds. The photo was taken from a low angle, making the mountain appear even more imposing. The mountain is Annapurna I, located in the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal.﻿﻿](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/kpfifozxa1psfpxs5d7a.jpg)

Filling out the visa form, again, took a lot longer than I wanted. Getting a late start to my evening, but I think I'm going to add the logo to my current side project, maybe add another page to it. I may see if I can add a web technology that I learned about recently. Going to watch an episode of "The Boys" and maybe "Demon Slayer". Going to eat and get to work.

Have a great night!

Latest Redux Toolkit: Using the Builder Callback Notation in createReducer 💻
Tags: redux, typescript
Published: 2024-06-17 22:19:27

In recent updates to Redux Toolkit, the way we define reducers has evolved. The traditional object notation for `createReducer` has been replaced by a more flexible and powerful builder callback notation. This change is designed to offer better TypeScript support and more control over reducer logic. Let's dive into the difference and see how to upgrade your code.

### The Old Way: Object Notation

Previously, we could define our reducers using an object where keys were action types and values were the corresponding reducer functions. Here’s an example:

```jsx
import { createReducer } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

let id = 0;

const tasksReducer = createReducer([], {
  ADD_TASK: (state, action) => {
    state.push({
      id: ++id,
      task: action.payload.task,
      completed: false,
    });
  },
  REMOVE_TASK: (state, action) => {
    const index = state.findIndex((task) => task.id === action.payload.id);
    if (index !== -1) {
      state.splice(index, 1);
    }
  },
  COMPLETE_TASK: (state, action) => {
    const index = state.findIndex((task) => task.id === action.payload.id);
    if (index !== -1) {
      state[index].completed = true;
    }
  },
});

export default tasksReducer;

```

### The New Way: Builder Callback Notation

With the new builder callback notation, we define reducers using a builder pattern. This approach provides a more structured and scalable way to handle actions, especially in larger applications.

```jsx
import { createReducer } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

let id = 0;

const tasksReducer = createReducer([], (builder) => {
  builder
    .addCase('ADD_TASK', (state, action) => {
      state.push({
        id: ++id,
        task: action.payload.task,
        completed: false,
      });
    })
    .addCase('REMOVE_TASK', (state, action) => {
      const index = state.findIndex((task) => task.id === action.payload.id);
      if (index !== -1) {
        state.splice(index, 1);
      }
    })
    .addCase('COMPLETE_TASK', (state, action) => {
      const index = state.findIndex((task) => task.id === action.payload.id);
      if (index !== -1) {
        state[index].completed = true;
      }
    });
});

export default tasksReducer;
```

THE ROTATION THING PART 2
Tags: tutorial, learning, design, productivity
Published: 2024-06-17 21:23:46

HEYYYYY Sorry for being gone for 6 days

We left off with how we are going to move this turret to do a 360. Well, if you remember from my last post, the other part of the turret I was building, I have made some few adjustments to this (image1).


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/vmzxh89hl96toudled8s.png)(image1)


Here I have made the four corners a little thicker and wider so when I do screw it down on the other base, it will hold up nicely and be stable (image2). Then you will see how I have little sawtooths on the outer of the circle; this is just for appearance. I don't want my turret to look like a Minecraft block. So that is why I started to make it more circular, also because I will be putting teeth like from a gear on the side of it.


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/xq932lsy95mwk605acog.png)(image2)


Now onto some calculations and mathy stuff. So first, here is the motor I will be using so I can know the torque, the power, and some other stuff (image3). So I already solved that stuff, and you can check it down below (image4).

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/mu362k0cl2ztify7kl2k.png)(image3)


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/nave7rzetdbxpqj7d597.png)(image4)


Alright, now onto how many gear teeth do we need and how wide and the length of it, and the distance from each other. These are all the things we need to know. So first, I did some research and found out for projects like this, 60 teeth is a pretty good starting point, so I went with that. The more teeth, the less stress all the teeth will experience, and it will make it smoother when turning. So good to keep in mind. So now I used all the following formulas to really see what the length of these teeth and width and by how much they are separated by (image5).

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/q9ebrsdicjtzd604f6d6.png)
![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/tv25g4i0i44dxop7cih3.png)
(image5)


These formulas are very important when you are making gears. They are the fundamentals but with a few tweaks. So this was the finished product of my rotation base (image6). Bought some new 3D printing material and now the product is being printed as we speak. I did promise a live photo, so you will most definitely see it on the next one for sure.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/o00b15e9pqh69bhhw0ff.png)(image6)



Thank you for following this journey. Onto the next part, I will start making little gears and making it fit with the motor I will be using or something else.

UNTIL NEXT TIME. SEE YALL my EVO people.
Encryption And Decryption - Securing Modern Technology
Tags: devchallenge, cschallenge, computerscience, beginners
Published: 2024-06-17 21:23:01

## Explainer

Encryption converts plaintext to ciphertext using algorithms and keys to ensure data confidentiality. Decryption is the reverse process of encryption; converting ciphertext back to plaintext. These processes secure technologies against cyber threats.

## Additional Context

Alan Turing is a prominent British mathematician who is widely revered as the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. During WWII, he helped break the Nazi Enigma encryption, developing the Bombe machine to decode messages. His breakthrough not only significantly influenced the field of computer science and cryptography but also provided crucial intelligence that shaped Allied strategies during the war. Turing's legacy extends to modern encryption techniques, integral in safeguarding today’s digital security.
Learning Full-stack Web Development for Beginners Guides: How to Get Started
Published: 2024-06-17 21:04:59

Today, I am gonna show you how to get started with Programming for the beginner or who does not have direction.

I was in your show when I started learning, I don't know what, where, and How I can get started with programming/coding/web development.

I read and watched many tutorials and videos but nothing helped. I fell into the trap of tutorial hell. When I take the course, I can code along. No issue. But when I tried to code along, I was stuck and I didn't know where to begin. 

Nothing helps, why? What am I lacking? 

For me it was not having a clear direction, I just watched the random tutorial and did not have a clear direction on How to learn code. Here are 4 things that help to get out of tutorial hell.

**1. Have a Plan:** You should have a very good plan. Having a good plan is very important. 

Why should you have a good plan? Because learning coding/programming or web development should not be done within a week or just a weekend. 

Rather you should have a consistent at least 6-month plan. 

**2. Structural Material:**
After you determine that, we will spend at least 6 months on coding.

You need a path/structural Material to go from A to Z instead of just jumping around random tutorials from start to finish. 

**3. Have a good Retention system:**
 
When you have good structural material/ course, you need to learn the material, understand the material, memorize the concept, and practice retention/Recall very often. That is a key to learning to code. 

We will often hear that you don't need to memorize, we all google 24/7. They are 100% right when you may be coding for 3/4 years and how to find the solution.


It is bad advice for beginners or those who are in stuck tutorial hell. 

**Yes, as long as you're not just going through it for the sake of completing it. You have to ensure you're retaining or understanding what you're learning. Ensure you're reviewing previous material.**

**4. Build crappy/tiny projects:**

When you are learning HTML and CSS, build small projects like buttons, nav bars horizontal, vertical, hamburger menus, etc.

Why build crappy projects? Because it is 
- Small and easy-to-build
- Build the momentum
- Unstuck the stuck

**5. Build, Build, Build**

Make 2 hours of uninterrupted time each day for you to sit down and build one shitty program 10 times over and over again, each time adding just ONE feature, **with the language you already started to learn.

** And whenever adding a new feature feels too hard, don't take 2 steps back. **Take 200 steps back**. Rebuild the entire damn thing.


I may build a basic CRUD express.JS app 100+ times. Yes, it's very boring. 

But you know what that means? It means I know how to lift off a basic express.JS CRUD server so well that 

it's **boring** to me. I sometimes do it without looking at the screen.

 In Software development world, where challenges are as  diverse as the code itself, the prowess to solve complex problems stands as a defining characteristic of exceptional developers. In a captivating exploration on Dev.to, lpasqualis dissects "The 5 Problem-Solving Skills of Great Software Developers," shedding light on the essential abilities that propel developers to new heights. As we embark on this journey through the intricacies of coding conundrums, let's unravel the key skills that transform good developers into great problem solvers.  
 

* Problem-Solving: Indeed, dissecting complex problems into manageable pieces is like untangling a knotted thread. Whether you’re debugging code or designing an algorithm, this skill is fundamental. It’s akin to solving a puzzle, and the joy of finding that missing piece is what keeps developers going. 

* Efficient Laziness: I love that term! It’s all about working smarter, not harder. By automating repetitive tasks, you reclaim time for more creative endeavors. Imagine writing a script to handle mundane chores—like a digital assistant that tidies up your workspace while you focus on the fun stuff! 

* Self-Motivation and Independence: Ah, the quiet determination that fuels late-night coding sessions. When you’re deep in thought, wrestling with a bug, it’s your inner fire that keeps you going. Independence matters too; sometimes, the best solutions emerge when you’re alone with your thoughts. 

* Perseverance: Bugs are like mischievous gremlins—they pop up unexpectedly. But every squashed bug is a victory. Perseverance is the secret sauce that turns frustration into triumph. It’s the “I won’t give up until this works” attitude that defines great developers. 

* Collaboration: While individual skills matter, collaboration stitches the tapestry together. Pair programming, code reviews, and brainstorming sessions—these interactions weave innovation. A diverse team brings different perspectives, enriching the narrative of software development. 

 

In this intricate tapestry of coding challenges, we’ve unraveled the threads that bind great developers. From dissecting problems to automating tasks, from self-motivation to unwavering perseverance, these skills form the warp and weft of our journey. But remember, it’s not a solo endeavor; collaboration adds vibrant hues to our canvas. So, whether you’re debugging code or untangling life’s complexities, embrace these skills—they’re the compass guiding us toward innovation and resilience. 🌟
