Thousands of websites are created every day and each one of them is pretty much distinguished. They differ in design, topics or content, targeted audience, purpose (spreading news, making money,etc). There are also quite a lot of things that websites differ in, that users or visitors do not necessarily see, such as website traffic, rankings,...

In today’s Photoshop video tutorial I’m going to show you a useful technique for adding a realistic shallow depth of field effect to your photos. We’ll use a Depth Map to indicate which areas need to be blurred and by how much. This method gives you complete control over the effect, which makes it ideal […] The post Video: Realistic Shallow Depth of Field Effect Using Depth Maps appeared first on Spoon Graphics.

Most web design team often undergo a period of execution where innovation takes a backseat to just delivering designs on time and with just enough in them to get the client's approval. If your web designs also go through a similar period of enough productivity but no innovation, then it's time to introduce some new ways of fostering innovative thinking within your design team. Below are five popular activities that should help your design team come up with newer ideas and perspectives while designing for your clientele. Let's dive right into them. 1. The Walt Disney Method – Brainstorming Walt … Continue reading →Visit us at InstantShift.com

In a new post to their blog, Exakat looks at the use of eval in PHP applications and how, despite all of the warnings against using it, it's still found in quite a few codebases (based on their scans). It is 2018, and we can still find eval() being used in more than 28% of every PHP code source. It is repeatedly reported as a security issue and a performance bottleneck, and a memory hazard. Yet, we can't get rid of it. It seems reasonable to think that most of eval capabilities are available as a PHP features. So, we took examples from 2000 PHP open source projects, and reviewed the situation. Here are real-life examples of eval usage : for each of them, we'll discuss the actual replacement. Their examples include the use of eval for: JSON decode replacement Creating missing classes Rewriting classes on the fly Code compatibility Dynamic variabling ...and several more. Each comes with a summary of the method and code showing how it's being used. While some of the suggested replacements are built-in features of the language, others are recommended packages that can provide the same or similar functionality to what the original author was trying to accomplish.

Latest PECL Releases:igbinary 3.1.0b3 * Skip over object properties that are uninitialized or unset when serializing, instead of serializing them as null. This is done to avoid Errors when unserializing their values for php 7.4 typed properties. ev 1.0.8 - Fixed build warnings with PHP 7.4.0-alpha1: 'incompatible pointer type' warnings occurred in assignments to the write property handlers (thanks to Remi Collet). - Re-fixed the Windows build errors related to errno in a way that the libev sources are left pristine. (The root of the issue is actually rooted in the PHP code where the errno macro is re-defined.) xdebug 2.9.0 Mon, Dec 9, 2019 - xdebug 2.9.0 Improvements: Fixed issue #1723: Class/function pre-analysis for code coverage speed improvements Removed features: Fixed issue #1301: Removed aggregated profiler feature Fixed issue #1720: Remove superfluous xdebug.remote_handler setting = Fixed bugs: Fixex issue #1722: Build warning issues on FreeBSD Fixed issue #1724: Missing property types and uninitialised values in variable dumping routines skywalking 3.2.4 Support php7.4 igbinary 3.1.0b2 * Fix crashes related to unserializing instances of classes with php 7.4 typed properties. igbinary 3.1.0b1 * Support php 7.4's __serialize/__unserialize the same way serialize()/unserialize() does. This deliberately only supports __serialize/__unserialize in php 7.4, to making switching to/from serialize()/unserialize() as straightforward as possible. rdkafka 4.0.1 BREAKING CHANGE: Since version 4.0, the client no longer polls for network events at shutdown (during object destructor). This behaviour didn't give enough control to the user in case of server issue, and could cause the script to hang while terminating. Starting from 4.0, programs MUST call flush() before shutting down, otherwise some messages and callbacks may be lost.

Many cameras can stream video using Motion JPEG. This is a stream of JPEG images that can be displayed in sequence to form a video. Many IP cameras use a GET HTTP request to an IP address. The camera I am using in this example is a RICOH THETA 360? camera that requires a POST command. More information on how this particular camera handles MotionJPEG is available in the community. Regardless of whether you use an HTTP GET or a POST request to start the motionJPEG stream, the processing is the same. Motion JPEG Resolution and Framerate Motion JPEG sends a stream of JPEG images at a specified resolution and framerate. Changing the resolution and framerate affects both the data transmission requirements and the latency.

Trust is at the heart of a long-term strategy of any product. There are many ways to earn it, and even more ways to lose it. In this article, we'll go through how you, as a product designer, can make sure your product nurtures and retains trust throughout every touchpoint. To do that, we'll be borrowing some of the tricks marketers and product people have up their sleeves.
