HOW TO GET YOUR BITCOIN OR ANY OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCY BACK FROM A SCAMMER.
Published: 2023-12-07 18:12:58

A sham cryptocurrency platform did away with nearly half a million dollars. The funds were my life savings which I protected with everything I had but I stupidly fell into their trap based on the attractive rates they offered. I was hoping to multiply the savings so I could have a more comfortable retirement plan. I realised there were a lot of red flags much later after discovering that I was indeed scammed. I was losing my mind looking for a way to get my money back until I saw a review about GearHead Engineers, a cyber security company that specialises in crypto recovery among other services; check out their list on their website, gearheadengineers . org.This company is the real deal for those who have been struggling to get competent services providers.

Hello everyone

I am planning to create an online community. I think the JAM stack is the best technology for this purpose, but so far I only found a few technologies in PHP and Ruby(for example dev.to which is Forem and is not JAM based)

![Forem](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/sa0k85y9m08vqdo3xsyy.png)

 I guess because is a web project, JavaScript should be the main technology.

Any advice
DBMS_FLASHBACK: "Desvendando o Poder do Flashback Oracle"
Published: 2023-12-07 17:09:36


O BDMS_FLASHBACK é um conjunto de funções e procedimentos em um banco de dados Oracle, que permite recuperar dados de uma tabela ou do próprio banco de dados como um todo para um ponto anterior no tempo sem necessidade de restaurar um backup.

Antes de mais nada, certifique-se que o FlashBack está habilitado no seu banco de dados através do seguinte comando:

```
SELECT flashback_on FROM v$database;
```

Caso não esteja, habilite-o:

```
ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK ON;
```

A função DBMS_FLASHBACK.ENABLE_AT_TIME nos permite visualizar os dados em uma tabela em um ponto específico no tempo através do comando:

```
EXECUTE DBMS_FLASHBACK.ENABLE_AT_TIME(SYSTIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1' HOUR);
```

Após o passo anterior será possível visualizar os dados da tabela no passado:

```
SELECT * FROM minha_tabela AS OF TIMESTAMP (SYSTIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1' HOUR);

```

O DBMS_FLASHBACK.TRANSACTION_BACKOUT é usado para reverter transações específicas. Este bloco PL/SQL reverte a última transação realizada na tabela nos últimos 1 minuto.


```
DECLARE
  my_transaction_id NUMBER;BEGIN
  SELECT MAX(versions_xid) INTO my_transaction_id
  FROM minha_tabela
  VERSIONS BETWEEN TIMESTAMP (SYSTIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1' MINUTE) AND SYSTIMESTAMP;
  
  DBMS_FLASHBACK.TRANSACTION_BACKOUT (
    numtxns => 1,
    xid => my_transaction_id,
    options_flag => DBMS_FLASHBACK.CASCADE_FORCE
  );

END;
```

No mais, podemos concluir que O DBMS_FLASHBACK é uma ferramenta poderosa que fornece um meio eficiente de recuperar dados e transações em um banco de dados Oracle. A capacidade de visualizar e reverter alterações é vital para manter a integridade dos dados e garantir a consistência do banco de dados ao longo do tempo.
MKProjects 2024 Shutdown
Published: 2023-12-07 17:08:08

Starting this month I will begin working on migrating many of the MKProjects repositories to my personal account. The only repositories that will not be transferred, but instead will be managed under the MoKa Reads Foundation will be the following: 

- `texcreate`
- `texcreate-deb`
- `texcweb`
- `texcore`
- `texcgen`
- `texcreate_repo` 
- `texc_v3_sources`
- `texc_v3_web` 
- `texcreate_v3_compiler_conf`

The following repos will be deleted: 
- `demo-repository` 
- `texcreate-templates` 
- `texcreate-backup`
- `texcreate_old`
- `DocumentationCreator`
- `texcreate-local-web`
- `texcreate.com`
- `MaTeX` 
- `Tex-rs` 
- `Package_Manager`
- `mkpm-rs`
- `MKPM` 
- `MKProject_Books-CLI` 

As my focus becomes more towards MoKa Reads, a nonprofit organization that is built towards open education, with research, course development, opensourced publication, I will no longer to put much work with MKProjects. 

I will replace it as a portfolio website with some domain with my name that will be aimed to have a personal touch. 

For anyone who has supported MKProjects, I thank you all, and with TexCreate moving towards the MoKa Reads Foundation, I will be able to continue its mission to have LaTeX project easier for developers and students.
#trashofai: Generated Blogs, Books, Podcasts - Content Drop-Shipping
Tags: ai, philosophy
Published: 2023-12-07 16:41:48

[This posts will have typos, weird English phrases and everything associated with real human beings from real cultures writing real text.]

I see article after article on how to generate blog posts, books, "content for the web" by ChatGPT and get on with it.

But let's take a step back, from the **How?** to question the **Why** of it.

## Would you communicate with your teammate with articles?
In a working situation where you are sitting next to your teammate, most of the time you don't write them long emails.

Because it just doesn't make sense as you have access to the person themself (themselves...? - gender neutral language has its own challenges), you can ask _specific_ questions _directly_, **related** to the `actual task` you are doing.

But instead when we read books, we read documentation, we read emails, we have to filter through a lot of material that might be **unrelated** to our `actual task`.

Then this is going to be true:

> Pregenerated long texts (e.g. articles, books) generated on topics => lots of `unrelated` information.
> Responses generated to concrete questions => lots of `related` information.

## Generated content: drop-shipping information
I find drop-shipping inherently morally ambiguous: you obfuscate the real vendor, your only value is that you have better marketed yourself. I pay the tax on my oversight, but using _your_ service, I have not gained any value.

When the work of ChatGPT and LLMs are just wrapped, I can't help but feel the same sense of being cheated.

This is the bottom of the barrel of _hustle culture_: the only value from a transaction is what `I` gain from it.

## We are going to cut out the middle-man (middle-person?)
People will start understanding that they no longer need the drop-shipper and they would learn to skip the middle-man. Only vulnerable people would still fall for it - I would say this is not the industry I want to support.

## What can we do instead?
I would say that instead we should work on maybe specialized models, that are very accurate in their own fields, where we spend a lot of time making sure that correct answers are produced.

I hate auto-generated docs, but I would love a bot that answers my question with the relevant snippets from an existing documentation - even if that documentation only exists in its training data.

My message is: 

> Create value for your customers, don't take it from them!
SWE Concept #1 Burnout
Tags: burnout, beginners, concept
Published: 2023-12-07 16:20:02


Hey fellas! Today, I want to talk about something we've all probably faced: burnout. It's that feeling when even the simplest coding tasks seem like a mountain to climb.

**Signs of Burnout:**

Ever felt like you're running on empty? That's fatigue hitting you hard.
Lost in a fog of sadness and struggling to stay focused on tasks.
That constant pressure, making it seem like coding is the last thing you want to do right now.

**My First Burnout: The Battle with Code:**
Imagine me drowning in a sea of complicated code, feeling like I'm in way over my head. My skills were limited, the pandemic was causing chaos, and I couldn't find a reason to tackle a tough task. Two months of struggle later, and bam, I was officially burned out.


Insert your personal experiences, challenges faced, and emotions felt during this period.

How I Bounced Back:
Surprisingly, I didn't give up. I couldn't think of anything else to do, and the thought of leaving coding behind felt like quitting in a cowardly way. Slowly but surely, I found my way back. Maybe it was sheer stubbornness or a love for the craft, but I persevered.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/hvecvc8dk69ofiz5m1ov.jpg)

**Second Burnout: Leadership Challenges:**
Moving on to the second instance, burnout rears its head once more. This time, it's not about the code but the leadership challenges that push me to the edge. Picture this: I found myself in the wrong place. The company's infrastructure was a mess, and when something went wrong, it turned into a blame game.

Inserted my personal experiences, challenges faced, and lessons learned during this phase.

Coping Strategies and Lessons Learned:

Coping with declining motivation as a team leader in a challenging environment.
Connecting with fellow leaders and discovering that I'm not alone in facing such leadership struggles.

Read code to accelerate your dev career
Tags: softwareengineering, career, productivity
Published: 2023-12-07 15:46:33

Many developers often focus solely on writing code, neglecting the importance of being able to read code. How do I know? Because I was one of them!

The ability to read code is a crucial skill for every developer, as we often spend more time reading code than actually writing it. However, reading code is often more challenging than writing code. It requires piecing together the context from various parts and putting yourself in the shoes of the original code author. Fortunately, this skill can be learned. As a software engineer, you have plenty of opportunities to enhance this skill while performing your job:
* Participating in code reviews
* Debugging code that is outside of your area of ownership
* Familiarizing yourself with the code of libraries that you depend on

And, there is also GitHub with thousands of repositories solving problems of all shapes and sizes. You are guaranteed to find something that will interest you and dive in.

Improving your ability to read code will unlock many benefits for you:
* Getting up to speed when changing jobs or teams will be smoother and faster.
* Code reviews will take less time.
* Understanding bugs and fixing them correctly the first time will be easier.
* Knowing how your dependencies work will help you come up with better designs.
* Your debugging will be more effective, especially in cases where you can't debug directly (e.g. missing debug symbols, decompiled code, etc.).

If you feel reading code is not your thing, think again. It might take some time to pick up this skill,  but it will serve you for years.

Basic HTML Tags by @bhushcodes
Tags: webdev, html
Published: 2023-12-07 15:42:31

## Basic HTML Tags:

- `<html></html>`:

Defines the root element of an HTML page. It wraps the entire content of the page.

- `<head></head>`:

Contains meta-information about the document, such as the title, links to stylesheets or scripts, meta tags, etc.

- `<body></body>`:

Encloses the visible content of the webpage, including text, images, links, headings, paragraphs, etc.

- `<title></title>`:

Specifies the title of the webpage that appears in the browser's title bar or tab.

- `<h1></h1>` to `<h6></h6>` (_Heading Tags_):

`<h1>` to `<h6>` are used for headings, where `<h1>` 
represents the highest level of heading and `<h6>` the lowest level.

- `<p></p>` (_Paragraph Tag_):

Defines a paragraph. Text enclosed within `<p>` tags is displayed as a separate paragraph.

- `<a></a>` (_Anchor Tag_):

Creates hyperlinks to other web pages or resources. The href attribute specifies the destination of the link.

- `<img>` (_Image Tag_):

Embeds an image into the webpage. It requires the src attribute to specify the image file's URL and may contain an alt attribute for accessibility.

- `<ul></ul>` (_Unordered List Tag_):

Defines an unordered list, which is a list of items without any particular order. Uses `<li>` (_List Item_) tags to define each item.

- `<ol></ol>` (_Ordered List Tag_):

Defines an ordered list, which is a list of items in a specific order (_usually numbered_). Also uses `<li>` tags for list items.

```

C# - Record Structs for Immutable Value Types
Tags: csharp, programming, beginners, tutorial
Published: 2023-12-07 15:30:00

C# 10.0 introduced record structs, expanding the concept of records to value types. This feature is useful for creating immutable value types with value-based equality semantics, similar to record classes but with the performance characteristics of structs.

Here’s how you can use record structs in your C# projects:

1. **Declare Record Structs:**
   Use the `record struct` keyword to define a record as a value type. This is beneficial for smaller, immutable types where you want value-based equality.

2. **Benefit from Built-in Functionality:**
   Like record classes, record structs provide built-in functionality for value-based equality, `ToString`, `GetHashCode`, and `Equals` methods.

Example:

```csharp
public record struct Point(double X, double Y);

public static void Main()
{
    var point1 = new Point(1.0, 2.0);
    var point2 = new Point(1.0, 2.0);

    Console.WriteLine(point1 == point2); // Output: True
    Console.WriteLine(point1); // Output: Point { X = 1, Y = 2 }
}
```

In this example, `Point` is a record struct that automatically supports value-based equality. Two instances of `Point` with the same values are considered equal, and there's no need to manually override `Equals` or `GetHashCode`.

Record structs are particularly useful in scenarios where you need the immutability and equality behavior of records, but prefer the allocation efficiency of structs, such as in high-performance or memory-sensitive applications. They combine the best of both worlds from records and structs.
Introduction to HTML by @bhushcodes
Tags: webdev, html
Published: 2023-12-07 15:26:47

## What is HTML?


HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's the standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page and its content, using a markup, or tag-based, system to define various elements and their relationships on a webpage.

## Role of HTML in Web Development:


HTML is the backbone of web development. It provides the basic structure for content on a web page. It defines elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, and more. When a web browser loads a webpage, it reads the HTML to render and display the content correctly.

**Structure of HTML Documents:**

HTML documents have a specific structure:

_Document Type Declaration_ (`<!DOCTYPE>`): It specifies the HTML version being used. For HTML5, the declaration is `<!DOCTYPE html>`.

_HTML Element_ (`<html></html>`): The root element that wraps the entire content on a web page.

_Head Section_ (`<head></head>`): This section contains meta-information about the document, including the title, character set, linking to CSS or JavaScript files, etc.

_Body Section_ (`<body></body>`): This section contains the visible content of the webpage, such as text, images, links, and other elements.

## Elements and Tags:

**Elements:** In HTML, elements are building blocks that define the structure of a webpage. Each element is enclosed within an opening tag (`<tag>`) and a closing tag (`</tag>`). Elements can contain other elements, forming a hierarchical structure.

**Tags:** Tags are used to mark the beginning and end of HTML elements. They are made up of angle brackets, with the opening tag containing the element name and the closing tag preceded by a forward slash.

_Example of a simple HTML document structure:_

```
<!--@bhushcodes-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of Image">
  <a href="https://www.x.com/bhushcodes/">Link to Twitter</a>
</body>
</html>
```

_In this example:_

- `<!DOCTYPE html>` declares the HTML5 document type.
- `<html>` wraps the entire content.
- `<head>` contains the title of the page.
- `<body> `contains the visible content like heading (`<h1>`), paragraph (`<p>`), image (`<img>`), and link (`<a>`).

Understanding these basic concepts of HTML is crucial for building web pages. It's the foundation upon which more advanced web development techniques are built.
