SQL as an Essential Tool for the Big Data Landscape

Introduction

The recent advancements in big data systems have led to faster processing, efficient distribution, and data storage in data lakes and data warehouses. This has led to the great migration of analytics in the traditional relational database world to the big data landscape. 

The transition wasn’t as hard as expected thanks to the existence of SQL as a query language in big data systems that are highly distributed and scalable. 

The Features of C# 9 That Will Make Your Life Easier [Snippets]

This article is a sort of 'cheat sheet' for developers on the most useful features of C# 9 and several functions from previous versions. With each new version of C#, its developers strive to make the programming process more convenient and concise. This time around, most of the attention was paid to changes in object properties, the new Record type, and more, but first things first.

C# is a programming language that Microsoft created for their own projects. Its syntactic capabilities have something in common with Java and C++. In 2000, the company's engineers developed the ASP.NET active server page technology, which allowed databases to be tied to web applications. ASP.NET itself was written in C#. The ability to build flexible and scalable applications in the future is one of the nice advantages of C#. Products can also be very different — from games to web services.

find if the word exist in the text file

 Please can anybody help me? I'm a beginner .
 I need to write a c++ program that does the following :

1. Ask the user to enter two text file , the the first one contains a list of words in one column Regardless of their number , second one contains the text file    ,like this:
        //output

   Enter the keywords file: keywords_file.txt
   Enter the text file: text_file.txt

   2.Search for the keywords from the keywords file in the text file

    3.if the keyword exist the output =1 "true", if the keyword doesn't exist output =0 "false" ,like this :

    system  : 1  //its exist

   book : 0   //its doesn't exist



   4.  Then output in new text file (ofstream)


   I put the words in file each one on its own line because some of them are phrases I don't want to sprit them ,search them as one word , also the test            file I want it to stay as complete text not separate words from each other so possibly I cant use "map" & "vector". I already tried them...so possibly I can consider that each word in the words file just a line and read them all , then search for them in the text file

WordPress.com Vs. WordPress.org

To this day, there’s confusion over the distinction between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

So, what’s the exact difference between them?

WordPress.com is a hosting service that’s a great choice for new bloggers and those that prefer a more hands-off approach.

On the other side, WordPress.org allows you to host a website yourself and comes with a variety of attractive features—it’s suitable for businesses and bloggers who want a bit more control.

Our guide will fully explore the differences between the two, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Ease of Use: WordPress.com

WordPress.com is easier to use than WordPress.org—although the full answer here isn’t quite as simple as that. For a start, WordPress.com doesn’t use a drag and drop feature to help users quickly build their sites. That’s where the broader distinction comes in: it might look like one, but WordPress.com isn’t a site builder per se, so users shouldn’t expect the ease of use or functionality to match something like Wix. Wix is far more about dragging and creating whole sections of a site.

That being said, it’s not all that difficult to use WordPress.com. You don’t have to think about site updates and backups as they are taken care of for you. There’s no hosting to worry about. Creating a site happens in small steps, starting with the user naming their site and detailing what it’s about for web visitors. There’s a handy checklist to keep users on track, and adding new blog posts is straightforward.

Adding additional customizations isn’t always clear, though, and I found this is something that could catch out people new to WordPress or websites in general.

Let’s not give the wrong impression though, WordPress.org isn’t exactly hard to use once everything is set up—it’s just that the setup, including hosting and managing backups, takes longer to sort out. Once hosting has been decided, it’s up to the user to manage the general maintenance of their site—unless they pay for a dedicated WordPress maintenance service that can handle all of that but for the extra cost (we could internal link to our piece on this).

A good way of thinking about the two is that WordPress.com is an easier way to get used to blogging and familiar with content creation, and WordPress.org is the next step when users feel more comfortable.

Customer Support: WordPress.com

WordPress.com features built-in customer support with all of its plans other than the free version. This is a huge help for beginners–in fact, if you’re new to websites and can’t stand the sight of code, then WordPress.com connects you with “Happiness Engineers” that can sort out the coding elements for you.

For example, I needed to adjust the broken width of a column on one of the sites I owned. It wasn’t possible to fix this with the WordPress.com customizer itself, so it needed the power of code to solve. I contacted its live chat support, spoke about my problem, and we went through it together, resolving the issue within a few minutes.

I found the customer support to be friendly in this scenario, and they quickly identified how they could help. After a few messages, the engineer came up with the required code and sent it across. I placed this code straight into the dashboard, and the column was fixed. Overall, it was an effective service.

The one problem I can see is that live chat support wasn’t always available, and sometimes you have to wait for an engineer to get back to you via email. This is something to consider if you need quick fixes and turnarounds.

WordPress.org is an entirely different type of experience when it comes to customer support. It’s easy to forget that the comfort of a live and dedicated team is no longer available to help out, and it’s up to you to fix a variety of problems on your own.

If you have an issue with a theme you’re using on your site, for example, you may have to track down the creator of that specific theme for help and support. This isn’t too tricky to do, but again, it doesn’t come with that feeling of knowing a team is going to sort it out.

The same is true with backups for your site, updates for themes and plugins, and general maintenance to keep things running smoothly. You can pay for additional services here, so that is an option. Another good way of finding support is through online communities and forums where people share and help each other fix problems.

It’s not necessarily a bad experience, though. The independence—and flexibility you can get from this—opens up a world of possibilities, and you can create some truly wonderful sites with WordPress.org’s suite of features.

Pricing: WordPress.org

WordPress.com features a range of different plans to suit users’ needs. When we talk about how good this is up against WordPress.org, it comes down to what you need so we can best judge it. For instance, if you’re looking to start a blog, you can do that for free on WordPress.com. If you want more features, you can upgrade to the Premium plan—this is best suited to freelancers and content creators and is a great starting point.

The Premium plan also includes live chat support, you can remove the WordPress.com ads branding, and you have access to premium themes that are otherwise locked away on the free plan.

Now, let’s say you’re a business looking to get a site up and running. Well, you can opt for the “Business” plan that comes with premium themes, automated site backups, and advanced SEO tools. Most importantly—although perhaps not as clear as it could be—the Business plan is the first plan going up in chronological order that offers plugin functionality and access to additional themes with customization options. The plan costs $300 a year.

WordPress lives and thrives on its powerful plugins and beautiful themes, so really, anyone that doesn’t have access to that is at a disadvantage, and it’s most often businesses that need extra functionality.

This is where the price vs. convenience debate comes in. WordPress.org easily wins here on price and offers plugin support, access to all themes, and you can pretty much design a site exactly how you want. Throw in some cheap but reliable hosting and purchase your domain name, and you’re well on your way for under $100. Of course, this comes at the cost of managing more moving parts on your own, without a dedicated team to support you. It’s undoubtedly a hands-on vs. a hands-off approach with WordPress.com.

Ultimately, in terms of price, you’re paying for convenience—that will be more key for some than it is for others. Which is it for you?

Hosting: WordPress.org

We’ve mentioned hosting briefly, but this is often an area of confusion when first starting out. So, with WordPress.org, it’s up to you to sort out a provider—it’s self-hosted. That can sound scary, but it’s not as complicated as you might first think.

An easy option here, perhaps the easiest, is to opt for Bluehost, which has a one-click install and includes automatic updates. Effectively this gives you the same easy setup you would get with WordPress.com, but with far more options and flexibility at your disposal.

Hosting itself can vary significantly in terms of quality as well. Great providers, such as Bluehost, can deliver fast speeds and promise to commit to a healthy site uptime to minimize disruptions.

Other users can get unlucky with frequent downtime, slow speeds, and inadequate support from their host. This can be mitigated simply by picking a quality web host.

To save yourself some time, I think the bests hosts around are the following:

  • Bluehost
  • Dreamhost
  • SiteGround
  • HostGator
  • Hostinger

WordPress.com comes with hosting included in the package, so you don’t need to worry about searching for a provider. In my experience, the sites I had on WordPress.com always loaded up quickly, and there was very little in the way of downtime.

The Business plan on WordPress.com comes with enterprise-grade security too, which isn’t to be underestimated, and 200GB of storage. Keep in mind that all of the WordPress.com plans differ here, and the Business plan price can be beaten by switching to WordPress.org.

There’s also the option of launching multiple sites at once on WordPress.com, should that be something you desire.

SEO: WordPress.org

Search engine optimization is an important part of an online marketing strategy. Whether you’re a blogger just starting with their first site or a business that needs to market their blog content, SEO can dictate where a site ranks on the search results page. There is some debate on how much you should focus on SEO contrasted with the idea of organic content, but it still needs to be an area you consider. With that said, WordPress.org won’t let you down here.

Search engines trust WordPress seeing as it powers a vast number of sites across the web, so sites built with it, whether WordPress.org or WordPress.com, have the chance to rank strongly. If anything, you’re already ahead of the game when opting for either of them. But how do they differ, and which is the best option?

WordPress.org has access to powerful SEO plugins that effectively let you know where content might be tweaked to improve your rank. The advanced SEO plugins are mostly third-party, such as Yoast SEO, and focus on changing things like metadata text, identifying keywords, and link-building. In a nutshell, WordPress.org has everything you need.

WordPress.com is equal to WordPress.org in terms of general ranking, and tends to rank very well on Google and Bing. But it doesn’t have the broad access to SEO-boosting plugins that WordPress.org includes. Except for a few that are already built into the base package, plugins are generally only available from the Business plan upwards.

This means the use of third-party SEO plugins won’t be available unless you opt for the Business or Ecommerce plan with WordPress.com. WordPress.org doesn’t have this issue, and any plugin you can dream of is available once your site is set up.

Analytics: WordPress.org

WordPress, in both variants, doesn’t really have a form of analytics. Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org allow you to see basic stats like site traffic, but there’s little in the way of advanced stats. That’s where Google Analytics comes in. Considered to be one of the best analytic plugins available, it’s almost everything you’ll need for managing a site.

WordPress.org is granted access to Google Analytics with the plugin you download to your site. The best part is that it’s free and straightforward to set up. Once installed, Google Analytics can track many variables, including site traffic, visitors by country, bounce rates, conversion rates, and the overall time spent on any given page. It’s essential, and using WordPress.org with it couldn’t be easier.

WordPress.com is slightly different here. Like with third-party plugins, access to Google Analytics is only available in higher-level plans. For some, this will be fine when you consider everything else you get with WordPress.com, but it can be an inconvenience for others.

Let’s say you opt for the second plan on WordPress.com, the Premium plan that’s ideal for freelancers. While this is a good option overall, a freelancer or solopreneur might want to start their blog and access robust metrics. They are excluded from doing so unless they upgrade.

In this case, I think the best route is to go straight over to WordPress.org, saving you money and giving you greater flexibility. This depends on individual circumstances, but analytics-wise, it will be the most sensible option for many users.

Customization: WordPress.org

WordPress.org doesn’t carry any limits to customization, and you can quite happily design a site exactly how you want it. This is achieved by using themes, which can be customized, and the use of plugins that add additional features to a site.

For example, a business running a directory-style site might pick to customize a theme intended for businesses but then might want to tweak the design. They could do this by customizing the theme directly or by inserting code that can effectively change many aspects.

They could then enhance this further through the use of one of the many directory plugins. Alternatively, they could design their site from scratch on their own with a custom directory—they might even hire a team to do this for them. The point is, with WordPress.org, the options are close to limitless. You can customize everything.

WordPress.com does offer customization too…but not as much, and not at all levels. On the Business plan and higher, you can customize a range of themes with the built-in customizer and may even ask Happiness Engineers for the correct code to adjust your site. Some excellent sites have been made with WordPress.com, so it’s not short on options and potential. With plugins available as well, you can achieve a great deal in terms of design.

With that said, again, it’s just not quite as flexible and open-source as WordPress.org is right out of the gate. Your customization options are limited to the plan you’re on, and critical aspects like plugins, and specific themes, will not be available on the lower plans. The more costly plans do quickly go up in price, certainly when you consider the same customization level is available for cheaper on WordPress.org.

Final Verdict

  • Build your own brand
  • Run your own ads
  • Customize your design
  • Better SEO
Your blog, your decisions

Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org are great options for starting a site this year. With both, you’re getting access to platforms that allow sites to rank well, they’re generally easy to use, and you don’t have to break the bank to get started.

However, in most of the key areas, I can confidently say that WordPress.org is a better option. This does depend on what you’re after, and for bloggers and those who want a hands-off experience, WordPress.com is still a respectable option.

WordPress.org would be suitable for almost everyone else and leads in the following areas:

  • Pricing
  • SEO
  • Hosting (close, but more options with WordPress.org)
  • Analytics
  • Customization

Whichever you opt for, remember that creating an authoritative site that ranks well takes a great deal of time, effort, and diligence, but the reward is more than worth it.

Prevent web pages from automatically reloading.

I have a site that I follow frequently

The problem is that it refreshes the page every five minutes

And I never want this.

Here, an addition to the Firefox browser
named "stop auto reload" When you put the name of this site, it prevents it from updating every five minutes.

But I prefer the Chrome browser

Can I find a way to prevent this update?

Now I use the method "press F12, then choose console, then type the following command:"

window.onbeforeunload = function () {return 'Reload?';}

To alert every five minutes to prevent it from updating, but it is a stressful and arduous method. Is there a better solution?

The Advent of Data Hyper-Protection

Critical system-of-record data must be compartmentalized and accessed by the right people and applications, at the right time.

Since the turn of the millennium, the art of cryptography has continuously evolved to meet the data security and privacy needs of doing business at Internet speed, by taking advantage of the ready processing horsepower of mainframe platforms for data encryption and decryption workloads.

Custom Traits in Apache Calcite

Abstract

Physical properties are an essential part of the optimization process that allows you to explore more alternative plans.

Apache Calcite comes with convention and collation (sort order) properties. Many query engines require custom properties. For example, distributed and heterogeneous engines that we often see in our daily practice need to carefully plan the movement of data between machines and devices, which requires a custom property to describe data location.

How to Fix Error Too Many Redirects Issue in WordPress

Are you trying to fix the ‘Error Too Many Redirects’ issue on your WordPress website?

It is a common WordPress error that may be caused by a plugin or incorrect settings. However, it leaves users locked out of their WordPress websites which makes it particularly troublesome.

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily fix the ‘Error too many redirects’ issue in WordPress. We will also cover how to regain access to your website and troubleshoot the error.

Fixing too many redirects error in WordPress

What Causes The Error Too Many Redirects Issue in WordPress?

The ‘Error too many redirects’ is caused by a misconfigured redirection issue in WordPress.

As you know that WordPress uses an SEO-friendly URL structure feature that uses the redirect function.

Similarly, many popular WordPress plugins use this feature to set up temporary redirects, permanent 301 redirects, and for fixing the 404 errors.

If you are using a plugin to fix the SSL insecure content issue or a WordPress caching plugin, then they may also affect redirects and cause this error.

Error Too Many Redirects in Google Chrome

However, this error doesn’t tell you what’s causing the conflict and forcing the redirect loop in WordPress.

This is how the error looks in Firefox with the message ‘The page isn’t redirecting properly’.

Too many redirects error in Firefox

That being said, let’s take a look at how to fix the error too many redirects issue in WordPress.

We will walk you through step-by-step troubleshooting, getting access to your WordPress site, and fixing the error from reoccurring.

1. Clear Browser Cookies and Cache

A common cause of the error could be your web browser cookies. Try accessing your website using a different web browser like Firefox, Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge, etc.

If you are able to access your website normally using a different browser, then you need to clear browser cookies and cache on your regular browser.

Clear cookies and cache in Google chrome

We have a detailed guide on how to clear browser cache in all major browsers that will help you do that.

On the other hand, if changing the browser doesn’t fix the issue then you can move on to the next step.

2. Deactivate All WordPress Plugins

The most common cause of the WordPress redirect loops or ‘Too many redirects’ issue is a plugin conflict. A plugin trying to set up a redirect in a way that conflicts with default WordPress redirects would end up causing this error.

To fix this, you need to deactivate all WordPress plugins on your website. Now, normally you can just go to Plugins » All Plugins page inside the WordPress admin area and deactivate plugins from there.

Deactivate all plugins

However, we are assuming that due to the redirect error you may not be able to access the WordPress admin area.

In that case, you will need to deactivate WordPress plugins using an FTP client, or the File Manager app in your WordPress hosting control panel.

Simply connect to your website using an FTP client and go to the /wp-content/ folder.

Renaming the plugins folder using FTP

There you’ll find the plugins folder, which you need to rename to ‘plugins.deactivate’ which will deactivate WordPress plugins.

Renamed plugins folder

Basically, WordPress looks for a folder called plugins to load the plugin files. When it does not find the folder, it automatically disables the active plugins in the database.

Now you can try visiting your WordPress website. If you are able to login to your WordPress admin area now, then this means one of the plugins was causing the error.

To figure out which plugin was the culprit, you need to switch back to the FTP client or File Manager app and rename your plugins.deactivate folder back to ‘plugins’.

After that, switch to the WordPress admin area of your website and go to the Plugins » All Plugins page. From here, you can activate your plugins one by one, and then visit your website to see if you can reproduce the error.

Once you find the plugin that is causing the error, you can find an alternative to that plugin or report the issue to the plugin’s support forum.

3. Fix WordPress URLs

Another major cause of this error is a misconfiguration in WordPress URL settings. Normally, you can view these options under Settings » General page.

WordPress URL settings

For most websites, the URLs in the WordPress Address and Site Address field have to be the same. However, some users may end up using www in one URL and non-www URL in the other.

Since you may not have access to the WordPress admin area, you may need to fix the WordPress URLs using an FTP client or the File Manager app.

Simply connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client and go to /wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/.

Edit functions.php file

From here you need to locate the functions.php file and edit it using a plain text editor like Notepad or TextEdit.

Next, you need to add the following code at the bottom:

update_option( 'siteurl', 'https://example.com' );
update_option( 'home', 'https://example.com' );

Don’t forget to replace https://example.com with your own site URLs. You can now save your changes and upload the file back to your website.

After that, you can try visiting your website to see if this resolves the error.

For more methods, see our tutorial on how to easily change WordPress URLs.

4. Reset WordPress .htaccess File

The .htaccess file is a special file that is used by website server to manage redirects and other server settings. WordPress also uses this file for SEO friendly URLs and other redirects.

Sometimes WordPress plugins may make changes to your website’s .htaccess file which may trigger this error. It is also possible that dectivating a plugin will not remove those changes form your .htaccess file.

In that case, you’ll need to manually reset your WordPress .htaccess file.

Again, you will need to access your website using an FTP client or the File Manager app in your hosting dashboard. Once connected, you’ll see the .htaccess file in the root folder of your website.

Editing .htaccess file via FTP

Note: If you cannot find your .htaccess file, then see our guide on how to find .htaccess file in WordPress.

First, you need to download a copy of your .htaccess file to your computer as a backup.

After that, you can go ahead and delete the file from your website. You can now try visiting your WordPress blog, and if everything works normal, then this means your .htaccess file was causing the redirect error.

Now, since we deleted the .htaccess file you need to recreate it. Normally, your WordPress website can do it on its own but to make sure you can go to Settings » Permalinks page and click on the ‘Save changes’ button at the bottom.

Refresh permalinks to create .htaccess file

5. Preventing Error Too Many Redirects in WordPress

Hopefully, the above mentioned steps would have fixed the redirect issue on your website. If they did not fix the issue, then you may need to talk to your WordPress hosting company to make sure that it is not due to a server issue.

Once they fix the issue on your site, you should also figure out what caused the issue.

If it was a plugin, then you need to report the issue to plugin’s support forum. See our guide on how to ask for WordPress support. However, if you are unable to get help then you can always find an alternative plugin that does the same thing.

If the error was caused by a WordPress site misconfiguration, then you can make a note of it and ensure that your site settings are properly set up.

Perfection Is the Enemy of Perfectly Adequate: A Lesson for MVPs

Introduction

A couple of months back, I wrote a blog titled 'The price of excellence is eternal vigilance' that was published on my company's intranet portal, tying it to the need for constant monitoring/surveillance of data flowing through a distributed SaaS system. The quote is directly from the stellar TV show 'Better Call Saul.' I've recently come across another quote from the same show which I believe is appropriate for the design of a minimum viable product (MVP). This credo can hopefully help agile development teams find that perfect balance of delivering the right amount of value with minimum effort.

What is a Minimum Viable Product?

As defined popularly, a minimum viable product (MVP) is an initial version of a product designed specifically with just enough key features, that can be delivered to a few customers to validate its purpose and vision that in turn, enables the development team to get early feedback. This early adoption process is beneficial to both parties as the customers spend less to try the product, and the developers and product owners (POs) will get their assumptions validated.

Top 5 Key Metrics for Monitoring AWS RDS

Monitoring AWS RDS may require some observability strategy changes if you switched from a classic on-prem MySQL/PostgreSQL solution.

AWS RDS is a great solution that helps you focus on the data, and forget about bare metal, patches, backups, etc. However, since you don't have direct access to the machine, you'll need to adapt your monitoring platform.

Magic Authentication and Authorisation

Magic was created to solve all the repetitive problems I experience in my day job. One of these problems happens to be authentication and authorisation, which is a problem you have to solve every time you create a new application. At this point some might argue that OAuth2 solves these problems, and while technically that is true, OAuth2 is also ridiculously complex and over engineered, and very easy to get wrong. And of course if you get your app's auth parts wrong, you might as well not have auth at all, since it exposes your apps for adversaries doing whatever they want to do with your app. Authorisation is one of those things together with cryptography you really should not solve yourself, unless you really know what you're doing. Watch the following video for a walkthrough of how the auth parts in Magic works.

User administration

As you can see in the above video, Magic contains a million parts helping you out with your authentication and authorisation requirements, such as the ability to lock users, implement double optin registrations, having users confirm their email address before being accepted into your site, resetting passwords, etc. In addition of course, the coolest parts is that the Magic Dashboard also contains high level UI components, allowing you to easily administrate your user database, such as illustrated below.

3 Reasons Developers Are Better Off Using 1 Converged Database Engine

Do you remember years ago before smartphones? You used to have a whole set of devices that each did one thing for you, like make calls, record messages, play music, or shoot pictures. Then the smartphone won us over because it converged all those into one technically elegant and intuitive device we can’t live without.

The notion of a converged database engine works on exactly this same principle. It converges an array of database capabilities — such as managing relational data, spatial data, JSON documents, IoT devices, social graphs, and blockchains—into one database engine. It can run workloads from online transaction processing to real-time analytics and machine learning, and can work within development paradigms such as microservices, events, REST, SaaS, and CI/CD.
