Assembling and setting up the telescope

 

I recently bought CELESTRON PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope  and found the following video very informative and short for quick setup

I tried to set it up and take few pictures by just placing my small digital camera (Nikon 3200) and result was better than expected

However I think buying a digital eyepiece  would help everything capturing in a computer digitally.
Other way is to use Universal Digital Camera Adapter for Astrophotography.

I will keep updating my notes as I keep reading and discovering  more information.

Load Testing Using Gatling

Gatling is an open source load testing framework based on Scala programming language. One of the advantage of Gatling over other load testing framework that I have used is that the code is very elegant and readable, thanks to its own DSL. One may not have prior knowledge of Scala to get started with Gatling. There are some documentation in the Gatling website which will help you write simple HTTP calls to your webservices but it gets bit difficult to incorporate the exact scenario of your test case because there are not much variety of example code which you can quickly edit and use. In this article I will try to show most of the structural construct that are frequently used while making a series of dependent web-service calls, typically used by a mobile game client while interacting with the game server.

Setup instructions are well described in the getting started tutorial. Following scala code will make a POST request to a mock REST endpoint that I have created using mockable.io.

Similarly most of the Bengali words’ english meaning can be determined as follows

However the Bengali font size was so small that I had to Ctrl + “+” to make them properly visible.
I hope Only major remaining  language Oriya will follow up.
This feature might be available shortly as part of other features of Google Search bar.

Automatically Deploying to Google Appengine from Github using Cloud Build

Image
When it comes to CI/CD pipeline, Jenkins is one of the popular tools that a lot of software companies use. With google cloud build one can build and deploy their app right from source repository like GitHub to AppEngine. It's a pay as you go service. However the first 120 build-minutes per day is free, so one can very easily try for their side projects where the deployment frequency is not more than a few times a day. However its always a good idea to limit your billing account and have alerts on usage in case it goes over the free tier due to some build stuck and running indefinitely. Here we will take an example of a go based appengine standard project.

First, to have Cloud Build be able to deploy to appengine we need to give the service account it's going to use the roles that are required.

Find the project id

NUM=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT \ --format="value(projectNumber)") && echo ${NUM}
Derive the service account name from the project id and as…
