[FIXED] Drupal 9: No route found for the specified format hal_json. Supported formats: html.

In my case, it was because I installed the deprecated core plugin, instead of the separate newer plugin.

The fix for me was to uninstall the deprecated HAL plugin, and then run:

AI Company Acquires Rights to Reddit User Content in $60 Million Annual Deal

Title: Reddit User Content Acquired by AI Company in Multi-Million Dollar Deal

In a landmark deal that has caused ripples in the tech world, a leading AI company has acquired access to user-generated content from Reddit, the popular online discussion platform. The deal, reported to be worth $60 million per year, highlights the growing importance of user-generated data in training artificial intelligence algorithms.

Resizing and scaling images in python. And a filename-insensitive data loader.

Recently wrote this utility, to resize and scale a python image at the center. This way, I don't have to worry about how my images are being fed into an AI pipeline, if they all get scaled and cropped the same.

Additionally, while previously I used bash to rename files in a folder to sequential names such as 1.jpg , the current implementation ignores filenames, which saves me time when massaging the data.

A recommendation for using Slack

In this post I'm going to recommend Slack, although I'm conflicted about recommending it. It is a communications platform, and a very good one. As such, it would allow the manager to ping me (or anyone) more often and more consistently. This would result in me having less available time, because I will increase my availability to the manager. With that said, I am an expert and a professional, so in the spirit of Correctness and Doing a Good Job (TM) I am inclined to provide this recommendation.

Demystifying Semantic Versioning (SemVer): A Guide to Version Numbering

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, maintaining compatibility and communicating changes effectively are paramount. One solution to this challenge is Semantic Versioning, commonly known as SemVer. This system, introduced by Tom Preston-Werner in 2010, has become a standard practice for version numbering in the software development community.

Mongodb, mongoid on ruby on rails: Could not load database configuration. No such file - ["config/database.yml"]

If you're looking to have a rails app without active record (an app that doesn't use SQL), you may be surprized to find out that excluding "active_record/railtie" still does not remove active_record from the stack. So how do you remove active_record? This question is relevant when you convert or create a new rails app, that uses mongoid (mongodb) for its storage.

How to turn off Warning and deprecation errors in Drupal

I had some difficulty with this, because my Drupal installs are in-between php versions. I'm running PHP 8.1, but a lot of the modules that I use were written for PHP 7, and haven't been ported.

Anyway, adding the following line to your sites/default/settings.php in production has worked for me:

$config['system.logging']['error_level'] = 'none';

How to turn off deprecation warnings in Drupal 9

This has troubled me for some time, since the Drupal installation I'm using is in-between php versions 8 and 7. I'm on php 8.1, but a lot of the modules were written for php 7, and the upgrade process has never been complete, and expected to never be.

In any event, after some trial and error, having this line in sites/default/settings.php solved it for me:

$config['system.logging']['error_level'] = 'none';

I suspect you can even raise the error level from 'none' to 'error' and still be fine.

This has worked for me to solve the aforementioned problem:

Infiniteshelter_com
- iterated on next_js config
- fixed some jests
- fixed linking/routing in SideMenu, Breadcrumbs
- deployed! : )

Removed GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY from codebase, it's in config now. Of note, changing the location type to Google Map Just Worked (tm), I didn't even need to push any code, Austin TX now displays a live map on the Left Panel.

Next, I'll re-review the 3D component and iterate maybe on a 3D Location space.

The dailies Location keeps receiving daily updates. : )

How to persist data in keycloak docker

This is pretty simple. I noticed that when I restart the development service, my keycloak realm disappears. It is simply a matter of having an appropriate bind volume, to persist it:

version: '3.2'

services:

  keycloak_development:
    image: quay.io/keycloak/keycloak
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./volumes/keycloak_development
        target: /opt/keycloak/data
    ports:
      - 8010:8080 ## host:docker
    restart: always
    command: start-dev
    environment:
      KEYCLOAK_ADMIN: admin
      KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD: test1234

Configure Bundler for Access to Private Repositories

What worked for me is using ENV VARs:

gem 'iron_warbler', :git => "https://piousbox:#{ENV['GITHUB_TOKEN']}@github.com/wasyaco/iron_warbler.git", :branch => '0.1.0'

What didn't but should have worked is reproduced below: You can add authentication information to it like this:

Ruby on Rails: allow parameters to have “.” (dot)

By default, dot in rails router is used to separate the format from the rest of the url. To allow dot in a parameter, override the constraint. The below example allows any character except slash:

get "/:user/contributions" => 'users#contributions', :constraints => { :user => /[^\/]+/ }

Ruby on Rails naming conventions

Ruby on Rails, often referred to as Rails, follows a set of naming conventions to maintain consistency and readability in code. I generally like RoR conventions and follow them. Here's a summary of some key naming conventions in Ruby on Rails:

Class Names: Class names in Rails are typically in CamelCase (also known as PascalCase), starting with an uppercase letter. For example, User, ProductCategory, or OrderDetail.

Some notes on naming conventions

Singular or plural?

This can be a much larger conversation, really. In the Ruby on Rails (RoR) framework, what is plural and what is singular is very specific.

I'd like to additionally note, that since I apply Occam's Razor to everything, and simplify everything, then generally speaking my names are singular, because plularily can be removed. This helps me easier find names in the future.

Navigating the Gauntlet: Hardships of Acquiring Technical Talent for Software Development Startups

The Talent Shortage Predicament

One of the most glaring hardships that software development startups face is the acute shortage of technical talent. The rapid pace of technological advancements has created a substantial gap between the demand for skilled engineers and the available workforce. This gap is particularly felt by startups, as they often find themselves competing against tech giants and well-established companies for the limited pool of qualified candidates.

How to use scss (sass) with Drupal

In this article, I'm doing to talk about how I enabled my Drupal theme to have scss.

I'm on a mac, so these instructions are specifically for mac os x.

Drupal is a php framework. Sass is (somewhat surprisingly) a ruby program. While I am a ruby expert, I believe javascript is much closer to css than ruby is, so I'm expecting the scss compiler to be written in node.

In fact, this task has little to do with Drupal or PHP. We will be spending most of the time in a node environment.

Wasya Co consulted for Sturfee in 2016.

Sturfee is an engineering-heavy small startup team developing products in AI space. As data scientists and scientists, the team was is knowledgable about AI and ML, however they lack experience in software development, and knowledge of best practices.
