No more Enums, Namespaces and Class parameter in #TypeScript 👀

Now in TypeScript v5.8, we get a new --erasableSyntaxOnly flag that marks all non erasable syntax as an error.

So what is non erasable syntax? 🤔

TypeScript is a compile time tool and it is stripped away during build time so it doesn't end up in your final application bundles. Enums, Namespaces and Class parameter break this pattern and are compiled to JavaScript when you build your application. This new --erasableSyntaxOnly flag will throw a compile time error during compile time when you use one of this non erasable TypeScript features, effectively disabling the use of these features 🎉

Self-Managed:

- Cuckoo -- Cuckoo or modified cuckoo does good job covering different OS platforms.

- drakvuf -- Unlike cuckoo, this is agentless. The setup for this is quiet involved but the results are great.

Sandboxie

- Noriben (not exactly a sandbox but does a decent job in Behavioural) -- A python noscript which montiors via ProcMon. Simple easy to setup in a VM. Again not exactly a Sandbox and you would miss out on lot of memory related things.

Hosted/Commercial

- Hybrid Analysis (Not sure for Student if they give a free base account)
- app.any.run - malware hunting for free
- VMRay (according to me one of the best Commercial Sandbox offering)

Also PacketTotal.com if you're dealing with pcaps

DeepSeek & Datenschutz

Hallo! Wollte euch nur darauf aufmerksam machen, dass wenn ihr DeepSeek nutzen wollt - dann dort bitte erst recht nicht Unternehmens- und persönliche Informationen teilen!

"Technical Information. We collect certain device and network connection information when you access the Service. This information includes your device model, operating system, keystroke patterns or rhythms, IP address, and system language. We also collect service-related, diagnostic, and performance information, including crash reports and performance logs. We automatically assign you a device ID and user ID. Where you log-in from multiple devices, we use information such as your device ID and user ID to identify your activity across devices to give you a seamless log-in experience and for security purposes."

DeepSeek speichert (in der Online Variante) neben ausgeführten Prompts auch Tastatureingaben und wie etwas eingegeben wird - das ist bei ChatGPT bspw. nicht der Fall und ist ein recht weitreichender Eingriff.

The #angular resource API got an upgrade in v19.2!

You can now provide a default value to the resource API. This makes it easy to type the value property of the resource and allows for better handling when no values are returned ✅

Before 'resource()' resolves a value, it's value property is in an unknown state and returns 'undefined', so the type of '.value()' also includes 'undefined'.

When you give it a default value you can prevent this undefined state and type 👏

The default value is added to both resource and rxResource ➕

Stop using #APP_INITIALIZER in your #angular apps 🛑

In angular you can preform logic before your application is bootstrapped. This was always done by creating a provider for the APP_INITIALIZER injection token and giving it a factory method 🏗

But angular is moving to a standalone approach, has the inject function and improved on many other fronts.

Because of all these changes, APP_INITIALIZER has been deprecated for the new provideAppInitializer() function! ✅

The provideAppInitializer() function takes a callback function and inside this function you can perform you initialization logic. With the old APP_INITIALIZER you had to declare a dependencies array inside your provider if you needed to use dependencies like the httpClient or some internal service.

With the new provideAppInitializer() you can simply inject whatever service you need, as it run inside the injection context 🔥

🌐 HTTP QUERY: A New Method for Search Queries

In the world of HTTP, there has long been a problem with transmitting complex search queries. When a developer needs to pass a large set of parameters for searching or filtering, there are two not-so-ideal options.

One can use GET and pass everything in the URL:

GET /feed?q=foo&limit=10&sort=-published&filters[]=status:active&filters[]=type:post

However, URLs have inherent length limitations, and encoding complex parameters can become cumbersome.

The second option is to use POST and send the parameters in the request body. However, POST is not intended for such operations: it is not cacheable and not idempotent, complicating interactions with CDNs and resending requests.

This is why the new QUERY method was introduced. It allows sending search parameters in the request body:

QUERY /feed
Content-Type: application/json

{ "q": "foo", "limit": 10, "sort": "-published", "filters": ["status:active", "type:post"] }

The QUERY method retains all the advantages of GET: it is safe, idempotent, and cacheable. It combines support for the request body with caching capabilities.

The method has officially received PROPOSED STANDARD status, indicating that support in browsers and web frameworks is on the horizon.

Summarizing:

    +============+=============+==================+==================+
    |            | GET         | QUERY            | POST             |
    +============+=============+==================+==================+
    | Safe       | yes         | yes              | potentially no   |
    +------------+-------------+------------------+------------------+
    | Idempotent | yes         | yes              | potentially no   |
    +------------+-------------+------------------+------------------+
    | Cacheable  | yes         | yes              | no               |
    +------------+-------------+------------------+------------------+
    | Content    | "no defined | expected         | expected         |
    | (body)     | semantics"  | (semantics per   | (semantics per   |
    |            |             | target resource) | target resource) |

‼️ "if you sick - stop working" ‼️


1️⃣ When a software developer is sick, productivity drops significantly; complex problem-solving requires clear thinking, which illness compromises.

2️⃣ Sickness can derail project timelines, leading to increased pressure on the team and potential burnout.

3️⃣ Working while unwell often results in reduced code quality, as fatigue may lead to overlooked bugs that require more debugging later.

4️⃣ In a collaborative environment, a sick developer can’t fully participate in code reviews or meetings, hindering communication and slowing down overall progress.

5️⃣ Ignoring the need to rest can lead to severe health issues, resulting in extended absences that further impact the team’s workflow.

6️⃣ While remote work offers flexibility, it can blur the lines between work and rest, making it harder for developers to take the necessary time off when unwell.


In my opinion the cases 5️⃣ and 6️⃣ are very critical and should be taken seriously!

🚀 Boost Your Angular App’s Performance with Lesser-Known Configurations!

As #angular developers, we’re always on the lookout for ways to optimize our applications. One lesser-known but powerful configuration you can enable in your main.ts file is the eventCoalescing and runCoalescing options when calling the bootstrapModule function.

🔧 What do these options do?

𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: This option helps in reducing the number of change detection cycles by coalescing multiple events into a single change detection cycle. This can significantly improve performance, especially in applications with a lot of user interactions.

𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: Similar to eventCoalescing, this option coalesces multiple NgZone runs into a single run, further optimizing the change detection process.
