The Mysterious Case of Negative Margins: Uncovering the Truth Behind Overlapping Elements
Tags: html, browserbehavior, csslayout, frontend
Published: 2024-06-20 16:16:54

As frontend developers, we've all been there - staring at our code, scratching our heads, and wondering why our elements aren't behaving as expected. Today, I want to share a fascinating case study that highlights the importance of understanding browser behavior and the intricacies of CSS layout.

**The Problem**

Consider the following code snippet:

```html
<div class="box">
  some content
</div>
<div class="bottom">
  other content
</div>
```

With a simple background color on both divs and a negative margin-top on the second div, you might expect the second div to overlap the first one completely. But, surprisingly, it doesn't. Instead, the second div seems to "slide" between the content and the background of the first div.

**My Initial Thoughts**

At first, I thought this was due to the text content taking precedence over the background styling. After all, isn't text more important than visual styling? Perhaps when we have overlapping elements, the browser decides to place all the text at the top and all other styling at the bottom?

**The Aha Moment**

But then I stumbled upon a crucial insight - there is no actual overlapping occurring here. Instead, we're dealing with **intersections**, where two elements are painted on the same layer. This is a critical distinction!

To understand why, let's take a look at the MDN documentation on z-index and layers:

| **Layer** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Bottom layer | Farthest from the observer |
| Layer -X | Layers with negative z-index values |
| Layer 0 | Default rendering layer |
| Layer X | Layers with positive z-index values |
| Top layer | Closest to the observer |

Notice that both elements are on the same layer (Layer 0), which means they're not creating a new stacking context. This is key!

**The Browser's Perspective**

So, why do we see this strange behavior? The browser is simply painting all backgrounds first because it knows they're on the same layer. It's drawing them in order of their z-index values (which are both 0). Then, it's drawing text based on this information.

**The Takeaway**

In this post, we've uncovered the magic behind negative margins and intersecting elements. By understanding browser behavior and the intricacies of CSS layout, we can better anticipate and troubleshoot unexpected results.

As developers, it's essential to dig deep into these details to ensure our code behaves as expected. I hope this post has helped you gain a deeper understanding of browser behavior and will inspire you to continue exploring the fascinating world of frontend development!
The Color Class
Tags: java, programming, learning, beginners
Published: 2024-06-20 16:14:30

The **Color** class can be used to create colors. JavaFX defines the abstract **Paint** class for painting a node. The **javafx.scene.paint.Color** is a concrete subclass of **Paint**, which is used to encapsulate colors, as shown in Figure below.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/o0yvdbksqsme0uyxtsjb.png)

A color instance can be constructed using the following constructor:

`public Color(double r, double g, double b, double opacity);`

in which **r**, **g**, and **b** specify a color by its red, green, and blue components with values in the range from **0.0** (darkest shade) to **1.0** (lightest shade). The **opacity** value defines the transparency of a color within the range from **0.0** (completely transparent) to **1.0** (completely opaque). This is known as the RGBA model, where RGBA stands for red, green, blue, and alpha. The alpha value indicates the opacity. For example,

`Color color = new Color(0.25, 0.14, 0.333, 0.51);`

The **Color** class is immutable. Once a **Color** object is created, its properties cannot be changed. The **brighter()** method returns a new **Color** with a larger red, green, and blue values and the **darker()** method returns a new **Color** with a smaller red, green, and blue values. The **opacity** value is the same as in the original **Color** object.

You can also create a **Color** object using the static methods **color(r, g, b)**, **color(r, g, b, opacity)**, **rgb(r, g, b)**, and **rgb(r, g, b, opacity)**.

Alternatively, you can use one of the many standard colors such as **BEIGE**, **BLACK**, **BLUE**, **BROWN**, **CYAN**, **DARKGRAY**, **GOLD**, **GRAY**, **GREEN**, **LIGHTGRAY**, **MAGENTA**, **NAVY**, **ORANGE**, **PINK**, **RED**, **SILVER**, **WHITE**, and **YELLOW** defined as constants in the **Color** class. The following code, for instance, sets the fill color of a circle to red:

`circle.setFill(Color.RED);`
Balancing cost and Resilience
Tags: azure, devops, cloud, design
Published: 2024-06-20 16:06:52

**Resilience in Cloud Architecture**

Resilience refers to an infrastructure's ability to recover quickly from failures or disruptions and continue operating smoothly. In cloud computing, resilience patterns are designed to ensure that applications remain available and performant even in the face of challenges⁶. When architecting workloads for resilience, several factors come into play:

1. **Design Complexity**: As system complexity increases, so do the emergent behaviors. Each individual workload component must be resilient, and single points of failure across people, processes, and technology elements should be eliminated. Consider whether increasing system complexity or using a disaster recovery (DR) plan is more effective for meeting your resilience requirements.

2. **Cost to Implement**: Higher resilience often involves new software and infrastructure components, which can increase costs. However, these costs should be offset by potential savings from future loss. Shifting mission-critical workloads to the cloud can avoid expensive capital investments in hardware replacement.

3. **Operational Effort**: Continuously optimizing deployments, scripting processes, and keeping things simple contribute to operational excellence. Efficiently creating resources and deploying code is crucial for resilience.

4. **Effort to Secure**: Resilience also involves securing your systems. Implementing security measures without compromising availability is essential. Consider encryption, access controls, and monitoring.

5. **Environmental Impact**: Architecting for resilience affects the environment. Evaluate the trade-offs between resource usage, energy consumption, and sustainability.

**Achieving Resilience with Cost Efficiency**

To achieve sweet resilience with minimal cost, consider the following strategies:

1. **Operational Excellence**: Continuously optimize deployments, script processes, and keep things simple. The key question is how quickly you can create resources and deploy code.

2. **Identify Critical Resources**: Determine which resources are critical for your application. Configure failover and replication for these resources. Most resources can be replicated in a secondary region, ensuring availability even during disasters.

Remember, achieving the right balance between cost and resilience depends on your specific product and business needs. Assess whether the 4x cost increase for maximum resilience is truly worth it, or if a more cost-effective approach can still provide adequate protection.

Common Properties and Methods for Nodes
Tags: beginners, programming, learning, java
Published: 2024-06-20 16:05:37

The abstract **Node** class defines many properties and methods that are common to all nodes. Nodes share many common properties. This section introduces two such properties **style** and **rotate**.

JavaFX style properties are similar to cascading style sheets (CSS) used to specify the styles for HTML elements in a Web page. So, the style properties in JavaFX are called JavaFX CSS. In JavaFX, a style property is defined with a prefix **–fx-**. Each node has its own style properties.

The syntax for setting a style is **styleName:value**. Multiple style properties for a node can be set together separated by semicolon (**;**). For example, the following statement

`circle.setStyle("-fx-stroke: black; -fx-fill: red;");`

sets two JavaFX CSS properties for a circle. This statement is equivalent to the following two statements.

`circle.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
circle.setFill(Color.RED);`

If an incorrect JavaFX CSS is used, your program will still compile and run, but the style is ignored.

The **rotate** property enables you to specify an angle in degrees for rotating the node from its center. If the degree is positive, the rotation is performed clockwise; otherwise, it is performed counterclockwise. For example, the following code rotates a button 80 degrees.

`button.setRotate(80);`

The program below gives an example that creates a button, sets its style, and adds it to a pane. It then rotates the pane 45 degrees and set its style with border color red and background color light gray, as shown in Figure below.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/92zrkqoxvw1m84jp5bun.png)

As seen in Figure below, the rotate on a pane causes all its containing nodes rotated too.

The **Node** class contains many useful methods that can be applied to all nodes. For example, you can use the **contains(double x, double y)** method to test where a point (_x_, _y_) is inside the boundary of a node.

The different types of Software Testing
Tags: softwaredevelopment, testing, test, automation
Published: 2024-06-20 15:15:39

In the dynamic world of software development, ensuring the reliability and functionality of applications is paramount. In this article, I would like to share an insightful overview of various testing types that are essential for maintaining high-quality software. These testing methods are particularly vital within Continuous Delivery (CD) and DevOps environments, where they help achieve faster deployments, robust quality assurance, and reliable software releases.

Understanding the roles, benefits, and best practices of different testing types can greatly enhance your development process. Here's a summary table comparing the various types of software tests:

| Type of Test | Purpose | Level of Automation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unit Testing | Tests individual functions or methods in the code for correctness. | Highly automatable |
| Integration Testing | Ensures that different modules or services work well together. | Partially automatable |
| Functional Testing | Verifies that the application functions as per the business requirements. | Automatable with the right tools |
| End-to-End Testing | Simulates user behavior to ensure the entire application works as expected in a full environment. | Partially automatable, often manual |
| Acceptance Testing | Checks if the system complies with the business requirements. | Typically manual |
| Performance Testing | Assesses how the application performs under various conditions. | Automatable |
| Smoke Testing | Basic tests to ensure fundamental functionalities work after major changes. | Highly automatable |
| Exploratory Testing | Encourages testers to explore and find defects not covered by other tests. | Manual |
| Penetration Testing | A simulated cyber attack against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. | Automatable |

Each of these testing types plays a critical role in a software development lifecycle, particularly within CD and DevOps frameworks, where they contribute to faster deployments, better quality assurance, and more reliable software releases. Automation is emphasized across most types, except for exploratory and certain acceptance tests, to enhance efficiency and reliability.

These testing strategies help organizations ensure that new features are both functional and reliable, reducing bugs and improving user satisfaction. Automated tests, in particular, are crucial for continuous integration and delivery pipelines, allowing for frequent and dependable software updates.
