This Week I Learned - Week #42 2019

This Week I Learned -

* Azure Front Door (AFD) service has built-in WAF and DDoS Protection. It has a dedicated designer, unlike Web Application Firewall (WAF).

* Open API is a specification that documents all the endpoints and operations for RESTful APIs, and all input and output parameters. OpenAPI was originally called Swagger.

It might be easy to deploy a container, but operationalizing containers at scale — especially in concert with microservices — is not for weekend enthusiasts.

* Some Computer Vision APIs don't provide provide good results because of the Exif Orientation of the image provided as input

* The most common format for image metadata is called Exif (short for Exchangeable image file format). The Exif-formatted metadata is shoved inside the jpeg file that your camera saves. You can’t see Exif data as part of the image itself, but it is readable by any program that knows where to look for it. Exif metadata is not a native part of the Jpeg file format. It was an afterthought taken from the TIFF file format and tacked onto the Jpeg file format much later. This maintained backwards compatibility with old image viewers, but it meant that some programs never bothered to parse Exif data.

* Salesforce has ditched Python for Go

Ajay Bhatt is the inventor of USB

* Mike Judge is a writer and producer, known for Beavis and Butt-Head and Silicon Valley. His works frequently feature a bevy of extremely idiotic characters

* If data from the income tax department's records is taken into account, India had more than 97,000 people earning a taxable income of over ₹1 crore in the financial year 2017-18.

Honey bee pathogens include parasites, fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

* A skunkworks project is a project developed by a relatively small and loosely structured group of people who research and develop a project primarily for the sake of radical innovation. The term originated with Lockheed's World War II Skunk Works project.

In formal Italian, capisce is pronounced “cah-PEE-shay,” but in slangy Italian and English it's “cah-PEESH”. It means "do you understand?" and is used informally or often humorously to ask if someone understands, in a way that is intended to sound Italian, or to sound threatening:
"You do what he says. Capeesh?"

* Americans eat on average about 3,400 mg of sodium per day. However, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends limiting sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day—that's equal to about 1 teaspoon of salt! That's far more than the scant 200 mg a day the body needs.

* “Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.” - Peter De Vries

* "If we rent from a public cloud, we're using servers that are by definition generic and unpredictable" - Gilfoyle, Silicon Valley
