Connect to RDS instance via Internet or VPN/Direct

In your RDS instance Route Table: 1. If you would like to access RDS via public internet you will have to modify the route 0.0.0.0/0 to use Internet gateway 2. If you would like to use VPN/Direct Connect for connections to your RDS you will have to modify the route 0.0.0.0/0 to use Transit gateway

Check which route table is associated with Ec2 instance

There is no direct way to check which route table is associated with your instance 1. Get your instance's IP address 2. Copy the IP address 3. Now navigate to network interfaces tab which is present on left side menu bar of your EC2 console 4. Now paste the IP address from step 1 in the filter and press enter 5. Now you can see the Subnet ID for that IP address, this is the subnet on which your RDS instance present 6. Copy the Subnet ID and navigate to subnets tab in VPC console and search for this subnet 7. When you select the subnet you could see the route table associated with this subnets

A stock chart is a picture of a stock’s historical price and trading volume in the form of a graph.

On most charts, the x-axis (horizontal, left to right) represents time, and the y-axis (vertical) represents price.

Swing trading can be a happy medium between day trading and position trading

Swing trading is a specific trading method where you hold the stocks for a short yet unspecified amount of time. You might hold a position overnight or even as long as some months.

You can convert Python numbers to a string as well by using the str() command.

For example, if you type myStr = str(188.88) In [3]: myStr = str(1234.88) In [4]: print(myStr) 1234.88

Take a final snapshot of Amazon RDS even if you retain automated backups

"Final snapshots are independent of retained automated backups. We strongly suggest that you take a final snapshot even if you retain automated backups, because the retained automated backups eventually expire. The final snapshot doesn't expire." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithAutomatedBackups.html#USER_WorkingWithAutomatedBackups-Retaining-RetentionPeriods

Making images responsive with CSS

Add these properties to an image: img {   max-width: 100%;   height: auto; } The max-width of 100% will make sure the image is never wider than the container it is in, and the height of auto will make the image keep its original aspect ratio.

Markdown Editors can speed up the formatting process

Markdown is much easier to compose than HTML. You can export in multiple formats  The best Markdown editor will make it easy to write your content and quickly export it to PDF, web pages, or Rich Text Format. You can work on cross-platform Since there are dozens of really good Markdown editors for all platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows, web, etc.), you can pretty much write and edit text from any device and location. This can bring a massive difference in your productivity.

VS Code supports Markdown files out of the box.

You just start writing Markdown text, save the file with the .md extension and then you can toggle the visualization of the editor between the code and the preview of the Markdown file; obviously, you can also open an existing Markdown file and start working with it.

Check MySQL query history from command line

The .mysql_history file is internally used by the command line editiing utility program, called libedit. The file is not intended to be directly viewed, or edited etc. The content of the file is encoded by wctomb. To view the content: shell> cat ~/.mysql_history | python2.7 -c "import sys; print(''.join([l.decode('unicode-escape') for l in sys.stdin]))" If your system has python 3.x installed, the command must be changed like below: shell> cat ~/.mysql_history | python -c "import sys; print(*[l.decode('unicode-escape') for l in sys.stdin.buffer])" MyCli History and Search MyCli keeps track of the queries entered in the repl. Up/Down arrow can be used to navigate the history. Pressing <C-r> will enable incremental history search. So press <C-r> and then start typing your search term to see the queries narrowed down.

SSH and SSL

SSH and SSL are both public-key cryptography tunneling protocols and aims to create a secure, confidential exchange of data and connection across the internet. SSH means “Secure Shell”. SSL means “Secure Sockets Layer”. Many protocols — like HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and SSH  were adjusted to include the support of SSL. SSH often uses SSL under the hood, so they are both as secure as each other.

Pivot enables developers to build solutions using the tools they already know, decreasing delivery time and reducing technology sprawl.

Pivot allows developers to easily construct visually-engaging, cross-platform, connected applications in Java or any other JVM language, such as JavaScript, Groovy, or Scala. Pivot is also the only truly open IIA framework: it is completely open source, and is driven entirely by the software development community.

Pivot classes are grouped into the following primary categories

Core - A set of common, non-UI classes. WTK - Classes for user interface development, including windows, dialogs, buttons, lists, text input, layout, drag and drop, etc. Web - Classes to facilitate implementation of and communication with remote data services. Charts - Classes for adding interactive charting capabilities to Pivot applications. The classes in each category are packaged and distributed in a corresponding library or set of libraries

Scripting for the Java Platform is a framework for embedding scripts into Java source code.

BXML is an XML-based markup language for simplifying the construction of Java object hierarchies.

While BXML is most often used to define the user interface of an Apache Pivot application, it is not limited to user interface construction, and can actually be used to create hierarchies of any object type. In the case of Apache Pivot the designer can place the WTK-components and set their properties without writing a single line of Java code. In more complex projects there usually is one class file for each BXML file to hold the logic, though there are other possibilities.

Apache Pivot is an open-source platform for building rich web applications in Java or any JVM-compatible language.

AWS CloudFormation Template is a declaration of the AWS resources that make up a stack.

The template is stored as a text file whose format complies with the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) or YAML standard. Because they are just text files, you can create and edit them in any text editor and manage them in your source control system with the rest of your source code.

You can define AWS Cloudformation templates as YAML, but they will ultimately be processed into JSON.

Different from breadth first search is implemented using stack Depth first search takes a divide and conquer approach which is implemented using recursion.

Disadvantages of Greedy Algorithms: The local optimal solution may not always be global optimal.

Greedy Algorithms works step-by-step, and always chooses the steps which provide immediate profit/benefit.

Greedy algorithms may not always lead to the optimal global solution, because it does not consider the entire data. The choice made by the greedy approach does not consider the future data and choices.
