Boston Celtic is the NBA 2008 Champion

The sixth game between Celtics and Lakers was over a moment ago. I , as a KG's fan, was very excited to see KG get his first ring, and I truly hope this ring is the first of many to come.

Many explanations can be found on why Celtics got their 17th banners. Personally, I think the Celtics and the Lakers have about the same offence and defence powers. I do believe that the main difference is because the Celtics have two game 7 in this playoffs (one with the Hawks and another one with the Cavaliers). On the other hands, the Lakers have never gone to game 7 this year, thus, they have less understanding of the anger/urgency/pressure of being pushed to the brink of failure. No one like that kind of feeling. But, I am convinced that kind of mindset is very important to get something worthwhile done.

That is all, folks. Let's see next year if the Celtics and Lakers meet again.

Web App Scaling with Flask Blueprint and Namespaces

A real-world Flask-RESTX-based API  may have multiple namespaces. The best practice for scaling a web application is to use a blueprint along with multiple namespace. The namespace is used to group a set of CRUD operations for a specific resource.  Blueprint can be used to combine (mixing) multiple namespaces. Here’s an example directory structure: project\ ├── app.py # Application file ├── apis #    ├── v20 # API directory    │   ├── __init__.py    │   ├── specs.py # API namespaces and REST methods    │   ├── steps.py # API namespaces and REST methods    └── v20bp.py # API blueprint file Here is an example app.py. Using a blue print allow you to mount your API on any url prefix. from flask import Flask from apis.v20bp import blueprint as api app = ...

Documenting REST API with Flask-Restx

This tutorial aims to use the Flask-restx library to implement and to document the REST API. Other similar libraries in the Flask framework include the   flask_resful and  Flask-restplus libraries.  The generated document is shown below.  All the operations are group into a default namespace. All the CRUD operations get, create, and update (except for the the delete operation) are displayed  below.  References -  https://flask-restx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ -  https://preslav.me/2018/12/02/designing-well-structured-rest-apis-with-flask-restplus-part-1/ -  https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/structuring-a-flask-restplus-web-service-for-production-builds-c2ec676de563/ -  https://github.com/cosmic-byte/flask-restplus-boilerplate

Display and Print Source Codes

One can use either "a2ps" or "trueprint" to print source codes. Today, I am going to experiment with "trueprint". A decent source code printing program should have the following requirements: Indentation is done correctly. Smart Spacing to avoid leaving out one-two lines of codes in previous page. Be able to convert to pdf or ps Be able to print two pages on one side The following are several examples of using the "trueprint" function: bash >> trueprint --portrait --language=cxx --intelligent-line-wrap --four-up --page-break-after-function --no-cover-sheet --output=EMMUtil_cpp.ps EMMUtil.cpp bash >> ps2pdf EMMUtil_cpp.ps EMMUtil_cpp.pdf bash >> rm EMMUtil_cpp.ps Please read the man page for further explanations. good day !!!
