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.

Bengali English word definition in Google Dictionary

Image
It was good to see that Google Dictionary supports Bengali Language along with Hindi , Gujarati, , Marathi and Other south Indian Languages (Malayalam , Kanada , Telegu , Tamil)
http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=bn|en&q=অভিঘাত+&hl=en




























Similarly most of the Bengali words’ english meaning can be determined as follows
http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|bn&q=irony&hl=en




























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.

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.

Deploying apps in Google Cloud Platform using GitHub Actions.

Image
After GitHub announced action last year, they recently announced that it would support CI/CD free for the public repository as well. This is exciting because earlier most of the public repos were leveraging 3rd party Travis CI.  Travis CI is really simple for straight forward use cases, sometimes just one line. And also free for open source projects (Public repos on GitHub)

I had signed up for GitHub action beta program earlier and recently got the invite. After signing up you can see the new "Actions" tab in the top of all of your repositories

Earlier I blogged about how to deploy to google cloud from GitHub repository using Google Cloud Build. Here I wanted to use GitHub Actions instead to directly deploying a cloud function.

To get started one needs to have a .github/workflows directory at the root of the repo.Under the above directory, one can have multiple .yaml files to configure multiple workflows which can be run independently.The important sections of the action YAM…
