AIT Hackers Association

AIT HACKERS ASSOCIATION is back.
Fellow Hackers,
Time, they say, is the most important asset in our fraternity. And I agree to the same in my full being.
Agreed that we have not been in touch for a while, but DO NOT ASSUME IT AS OUR DEATH... mind you, "WE ARE ALIVE".
Yes, we are damn alive and we have been working day in and day out to create stuff that you, the fellow hackers would love to be a part of.

A) First and foremost, AHA, which was initially started as an informal student organisation has off-shooted itself into a formal registered club, by the name of Open Source Activities Centre.

Visit :http://aitoss.net
Congratulations everyone!

B) Then, We have successfully completed designing of the new AIT College Website. The demo version is available at http://aitoss.net/beta
So it is a humble request to all to visit it, and provide us with your valuable feedback.
We can now boast of the best web facilities available for ourselves:
1. online project management system
2. online tutorials
3. Discussions and forums
4. Notices and notifications
5. online assignment submission
and many many more.

And that's not all friends. We have more in our bag.

C) A dedicated web server is currently operational, with 500GB space (as of now) and we plan to switch to an ubuntu cloud soon, with a capacity of 2TB(huh!)
Do visit : http://inspirators.homelinux.net
(Don't mind if it throws error 404, AIT as always is under electricity crisis )
We are currently providing root access to only the teams working on various projects here.
Well, that reminds me of the other projects that we have undertaken.

D) A GIT hosting facility is operational, by the name of iCode
The creators have open-sourced the code as well.
Visit : http://icodeforfun.blogspot.com
And if that does not suffice as the reasons for our absense,

E) An LDAP server is in the making too.

F) Video Conferencing system (using bigbluebutton)

F) Scipher will be back. Yes, Saturday Cipher a.k.a. SCIPHER will be back from next saturday. And this time, the prize money is BIG.

G) A regular column in the college technical newsletter http://effervescence.aitoss.net

So, fellow hackers, I hope we have done our bit. All the endeavours are open for public viewing. Please provide your feedback on each of them.

We would love to hear from you.

And, as in the Transformers, they say, WE ARE HERE...WE ARE WAITING.

Suggestions, comments, feedback, questions, clarifications, all are welcome. Write back, even if it's just a hello. We would love to hear from you.

Cheers,

सूनापन

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है  ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है  ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है   ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us  Importing files from different folder  (1822 votes),  Relative imports in Python 3  (1064 votes) and  Relative imports for the billionth time  (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though...

What does it mean to “shift testing left”?

What does it mean to “shift testing left”? I used to think shifting left meant starting all these testing activities earlier in the process, but I realise it is more than that: it means  doing different things . Shifting left on testing means thinking about architecture and design differently, considering different stakeholders early and continually. Which in turn means shifting left on security, accessibility, and all the other dimensions of quality that we should care about. So shifting left on testing motivates all kinds of assurance activities, which can stop us over-investing in a solution that was never going to work. It is like TDD on steroids. As an unintended consequence, we can remove much of the traditional work that testers would have to do downstream when they only have late sight of the product. Again, we aren’t doing that work earlier, we are setting ourselves up to never need it at all!
