Programmatically Adding Laravel Middleware

When it comes to web development, middleware is often the key to ensuring everything connects up - even if some of the pieces don’t always match up. HTTP Middleware is a mechanism used to conveniently filter HTTP requests coming into your web application. When it comes to PHP, frameworks often help us get our applications to handle workloads vanilla PHP might have a harder time managing.

What are Micro Apps on iOS?

To understand what micro apps are on iOS, we first must look at what a “micro app” is. A micro app is a small, precise, highly specialized application. It is designed for a single use case.

Some example use cases include reading from or writing to an enterprise database, or sending alerts or notifications when a particular event occurs.

Distributed model training using Dask and Scikit-learn

The theoretical bases for Machine Learning have existed for decades yet it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that the last AI winter came to an end. Since then, interest in and use of machine learning has exploded and its development has been largely democratized. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the same period saw the rise of Big Data, carrying with it increased distributed data storage and distributed computing capabilities made popular by the Hadoop ecosystem.

UTM Editor - efficient tagging of campaign links

You can evaluate the effectiveness of an advertising campaign as a whole. But in order to optimize it on an ongoing basis and get the most out of its budget, you need detailed data on the effectiveness of individual channels, creations, and locations. This is what UTM tags (or UTM codes) are for – parameters added to the landing page URL that don’t affect its display but allow the analytical package (e.g. Google Analytics) to record additional information about traffic sources.
