Getting Started With Hugging Face Transformers for NLP

Aggregated on: 2022-01-23 11:34:43

Hugging Face: The Best Natural Language Processing Ecosystem You’re Not Using? If you’ve been even vaguely aware of developments in machine learning and AI over the last few years since 2018, you definitely have heard of the massive progress being made in the world of Natural Language Processing (NLP) due in large part to the development of larger and larger transformer models. Of course, we don’t mean the extraterrestrial shape-shifting robots of the 1980s franchise of the same name, but rather attention-based language models. These models gained widespread attention in the ML community in 2017 with Vaswani et al.’s seminal paper Attention Is All You Need, and the subsequent mass adoption of the Transformer blueprint for NLP in 2018 has been likened by some as the ImageNet moment of language models.

Developer Quickstart: PHP and MariaDB

Aggregated on: 2022-01-22 18:19:43

The PHP programming language has long been considered a fairly light and simple solution for developers to use to create robust and creative web applications. In fact, that’s as true now as it has ever been as past few versions of PHP have made the language more appealing than ever. Like many other languages, PHP has the ability to take advantage of the power of MariaDB, and it’s actually a pretty simple and straightforward process.

Should We Target Zero False Positives?

Aggregated on: 2022-01-22 18:19:43

In an ideal world, secret detection tools would spot all leaked secrets and never report false positives. Unfortunately -or maybe fortunately...- we do not live in an ideal world: secret detection tools are not perfect, sometimes they report false positives. But would it really be better if they did not?

How to Detect and Defeat the Log4j2 Vulnerability With Deepfence

Aggregated on: 2022-01-22 18:19:43

Introduction to log4j2 Mitigation The log4j2 vulnerability like the OpenSSL Heartbleed and Apache Struts vulnerabilities that came before it are poignant reminders to digital businesses that it’s not just enough to respond to a vulnerability by redeploying applications once a patch is available, you also have to be able to discover instances of the vulnerability being exploited in real time in your production platform and stop them. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use Deepfence ThreatMapper and ThreatStryker to help you do just that. Deepfence ThreatMapper is an open-source security observability platform that hunts for vulnerabilities – including log4j2 – in applications in production across containers, Kubernetes, clouds, serverless environments, VMs, and bare metal, and then ranks them based on their risk of exploit. ThreatMapper eliminates the noise and false positives generated by scanning tools by further calculating the risk of exploit for each of these vulnerabilities, so that you can target the issues that present the greatest risk to the security of your applications.

Intrusion Detection vs. Intrusion Prevention: The Beginner’s Guide to IPS and IDS

Aggregated on: 2022-01-22 17:04:42

I think you'll agree with me when I say that the words "database" and "intrusion" are not words you want to hear in the same sentence. Databases house critical information that needs to be kept private for our businesses and our customers - we can't have criminals exploiting gaps in our security and accessing this information. Fortunately, we can take steps to stop intruders from getting in and catching them if they manage to sneak in anyway. Let's learn about these methods and how we can put them to good use to protect our valuable data. We'll explore two systems - the IPS and the IDS - and take a look at how they compare and what you should think about when implementing them.

Microservices Testing: Key Strategies and Tools

Aggregated on: 2022-01-22 14:49:42

Development teams are increasingly choosing a microservices architecture over monolithic structures in order to boost apps' agility, scalability, and maintainability. With this decision to switch to the modular software architecture — in which each service is a separate unit with its own logic and database that communicates with other units through APIs — comes the need for new testing strategies and new testing tools. Testing microservices is a critical part of the microservices application process: you need to ensure that your code doesn’t break within the unit, that the dependencies in the microservices continue to work (and work quickly), and that your APIs meet the defined contracts. Yet, because many microservices are built with a continuous delivery mode to build and deploy features consistently, developers and DevOps teams need accurate and reliable testing strategies to be confident in these features. So which different types of tests exist for microservices, how can they work for other areas of your software, and what are their benefits? The well-known "testing pyramid" can provide a testing framework for approaching these tests. According to Martin Fowler, a prominent author on software engineering principles, “The 'Test Pyramid’ is a metaphor to group software tests into buckets of different granularity.” The different layers of the pyramid are defined as:

A Primer on the History and Evolution of Incident Management to Today

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 22:04:42

What’s the history of incident management? If you’re an SRE, you may be so caught up in the day-to-day work of managing reliability and responding to incidents that you never take time to step back and ask that question. And that’s a shame because SREs didn’t invent incident management concepts and strategies on their own.

How Should You Approach Software Development Training?

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 21:34:42

There’s an interesting challenge that budding programmers face when it’s time to further their software development training, or even start their training. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different training and course options, and they vary widely in cost from free to hundreds or thousands of dollars. What’s more, some courses can be completed in weeks or months, while others require years and years of discipline. It’s even possible, and extremely easy, to invest in the wrong courses, depending on what your specialization or desired job will be. So, how should you approach software development training? What are the best practices for choosing a school, course, or program, and what will that mean for your future career?

Top 3 Chatbot Security Vulnerabilities in 2022

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 17:04:42

Chatbots Are Here To Stay Chatbots have been around for a long time and based on the global chatbot market size (and the expected growth), they will stick around for a long time and gain importance. In the past, they've rarely met customer expectations or provided much positive experience. However, over the last few years, advances in conversational AI have transformed how they can be used. Since chatbots offer a wide range of applications, in certain cases, they become responsible for collecting and protecting personal information as well. Consequently, they are a great attraction for hackers and malicious attacks too. The responsibility of ensuring chatbot security has become more evident after the introduction of GDPR in Europe. As statistics show that this technology will be a determining factor in our lives, security testing must also become part of our daily tasks, so that these chatbots can be used with confidence. Security Risks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities The words risk, threat, and vulnerability are often confused or used interchangeably when reading about computer security, so let’s first clarify the terminology: Vulnerability refers to a weakness in your software (or hardware, or in your processes, or anything related). In other words, it’s a way hackers could find their way into and exploit your systems. A threat exploits a vulnerability and can cause loss, damage, or destruction of an asset - threats exploit vulnerabilities. Risk refers to the potential for lost, damaged, or destroyed assets - threats + vulnerability = risk! The well-known OWASP Top 10 is a list of top security risks for a web application. Most chatbots out there are available over a public web frontend, and as such, all the OWASP security risks apply to those chatbots as well. Out of these risks, there are two especially important to defend against, as in contrast to the other risks, those two are nearly always a serious threat — XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) and SQL Injection. In addition, for artificial intelligence-enabled chatbots, there is an increased risk for Denial of Service attacks, due to the higher amount of computing resources involved. Vulnerability 1: XSS - Cross-Site ScriptingA typical implementation of a chatbot user interface: There is a chat window with an input box. Everything the user enters in the input box is mirrored in the chat window. Chatbot response is shown in the chat window. The XSS vulnerability is in the second step — when entering text including malicious Javascript code, the XSS attack is fulfilled when the web browser is running the injected code: <script>alert(document.cookie)</script> Possible Attack VectorFor exploiting an XSS vulnerability the attacker has to trick the victim to send malicious input text. It can be done through one of the following ways:

Simplify Microservice Transactions With Oracle Database Sagas

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 15:34:42

The Saga Pattern The saga pattern is used to provide data integrity across multiple distributed, isolated services involved in potentially long-lived activities (sometimes referred to as business activities or business transactions to disambiguate). The classic example, and the one I use here and in the corresponding workshop, is a travel booking consisting of flight, hotel, and car reservations. The original paper was published in 1987 and alludes to the advantages of an implementation that runs and stores data within a database and that is precisely what is being done in the Oracle database, making it a perfect fit for microservices and modern applications development for a number of reasons.

Rancher Vs. Kubernetes: It’s Not Either-Or

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 13:49:42

Kubernetes (K8s) and Rancher are both open source projects focused on container management with enormous communities of contributors and users. Kubernetes is the leader in container orchestration. It offers teams the flexibility to efficiently run containerized workloads across multiple public cloud providers and hybrid cloud environments. Kubernetes offers advanced scheduling and scaling capabilities to ensure application performance and high availability. However, its functionality focuses on managing resources within a single cluster.

Introduction to Couchbase for Oracle Developers and Experts: Part 1- Architecture

Aggregated on: 2022-01-21 13:04:42

Introduction You know Oracle, but need a good overview of Couchbase, a modern NoSQL database? You're in the right place. This will speed up your understanding of Couchbase. It’s not intended to evaluate all the features or performance. Since Oracle is a relational database with SQL as the main query language, it's normal for developers to view other databases from SQL's point of view. In this article, we'll compare and contrast Oracle with Couchbase from a SQL point of view. You'll get a good feel for the architecture and capabilities of Couchbase. We won't do a deep dive into high-availability, scale-out, and sizing the databases in this series.

Azure pipelines is a cloud-based continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) platform to build, test and deploy applications to cloud environments like Azure, AWS, or GCP through Kubernetes Services, Azure Web Apps, and Azure Functions. Azure DevOps pipelines can build container images, push the images to a container registry and deploy these images to Kubernetes environments of our choice. Setting up a pipeline that leverages a custom container registry or deploys to multi-cloud Kubernetes environments requires cloud-specific expertise and is time-consuming. For instance, building a pipeline from scratch requires:

6 Ways Software Engineers Can Learn at Work

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 21:19:41

We know from multiple studies (e.g., 1, 2, 3) that learning at work improves both job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Both of these contribute to higher productivity and lower turnover. Many companies use personal learning budgets and some type of "5/10/20 percent time" policy to encourage learning. These are useful but highly dependent on personal motivation and learning habits. It’s often hard for software engineers to prioritize learning over their busy day-to-day work. For example, only around 10 percent of Googlers are using their famous "20 percent time" policy.

Exploring CockroachDB with ipython-sql and Jupyter Notebook

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 21:19:41

Today, I will demonstrate how ipython-sql can be leveraged in querying CockroachDB. This will require a secure instance of CockroachDB for the reasons I will explain below. Running a secure docker-compose instance of CRDB is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Instead, I will publish everything you need to get through the tutorial in my repo, including the Jupyter Notebook. You may also use CRDB docs to stand up a secure instance and change the URL in the notebook to follow along. This post will dive deeper into the Python ecosystem and build on my previous Python post. Instead of reliance on pandas alone, we're going to use a popular SQL extension called ipython-sql, a.k.a. SQLmagic to execute SQL queries against CRDB. As stated earlier, we need to use a secure instance of CockroachDB. In fact, from this point forward, I will attempt to write posts only with secure clusters, as that's the recommended approach. Ipython-sql uses sqlalchemy underneath and it expects database URLs in the format postgresql://username:password@hostname:port/dbname. CockroachDB does not support password fields with insecure clusters, as passwords alone will not protect your data.

I will continue to use a docker-compose environment for the following tutorial as it fits nicely with the iterative model of development and deployment with schema migration tools. We will need a recent CockroachDB image. My current folder tree looks like so:

The Power of Code Refactoring: How to Measure Refactoring Success

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 20:49:41

Code refactoring provides a well-needed mental break for developers, and I think many devs can relate to this. Writing code all day is very demanding, especially if you create new functionality day by day. It’s a taxing exercise, and developers often need some space to think about the codebase's overall organization and look back on what can be improved. This is exactly what code refactoring does. It provides this well-needed mental break for developers, and it gives them the chance to tackle higher-level, codebase-related issues. However, it’s also a great moment to check your code against the codebase guidelines. No codebase is perfect. Small faults against the guidelines make it to the “main” branch.

How I Built My Own Stock Index Tracker With Time-Series Data Using Low Code

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 14:34:41

I recently started investing and came across a product called Smallcase. The way it works is — experts create a diversified long-term portfolio of stocks and ETFs and manage it on a timely basis for you. I really love the idea of how stocks can be added into portfolios or baskets to reduce market volatility. Unfortunately, at the moment, this product is only available for Indian investors and that led me to create an app, where I could create a portfolio, and also create a custom index on top of it, with features to compare benchmarked indices like Dow Jones / S and P. Building this kind of application from scratch would have taken me a lot of time; I would have had to choose a front-end framework, configure a database, and work on different visualizing frameworks to build time-series charts. With Appsmith, I was able to build this app in just a few hours. If you don’t already know, Appsmith is an open-source low code framework to build internal apps. In this blog, I will take you through the steps I followed to create the app.

Continuous Profiling in Kubernetes Using Pyroscope

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 13:34:41

Developers typically need to look at performance bottlenecks in production applications to determine the cause of the problem. To do this, you usually need information that can be collected through logs and code tools. Unfortunately, this approach is usually time-consuming and does not provide enough details about the underlying problem. A modern and more advanced approach is to apply and use profiling techniques and tools that highlight the slowest application code, that is, the area consuming most of your resources.

Jakarta EE8, EE9, EE9.1, …. What???

Aggregated on: 2022-01-20 13:34:41

Jakarta EE is the new Java Enterprise platform as you’ve probably heard. There is a lot of news about this application development framework and also about the rapid development of the platform. Version 9.1 was released in May last year and version 10 is already in a review process. But what does this mean for my own Java project? Because I was also a bit confused about the different versions, hence my attempt to clarify things. First, the good news: As an application developer, you don’t have to worry. The most important thing that will change besides improved support by the community is the Java package names. The package name javax.* will be replaced by jakarta.*.
