Etichetta v0.1.3 is here! (with AI)
Hello! I’m excited to announce the release of a new application called “Etichetta”. “Etichetta” is a straightforward program that allows you to label images for AI training. I’ve always found existing programs to be quite cumbersome, so I created one myself. Among its various features is the ability to use a YOLO model to simplify the labeling process by providing suggestions. The project utilizes gtkd for the interface and onnx runtime for AI (without any modifications, thanks to importc!). Special thanks to Ferhat Kurtulmuş for assisting with the onnx-related aspects. There’s a setup available for Windows and an AppImage that runs on any Linux distribution. It seems to work on macOS through docker + xquartz, for the brave ones!

1) I'm not sure I like concat (~=)

invoking the wrong route especially when it does something
important/dangerous/unexpected.
Serverino works with priorities, that's the order the handlers
are called! You're checks on handlers can easily filter request.
2) instead of doing:
```d
if (request.method != Request.Method.Get)
output.status = 405;
```
to determine the request method, why not use a UDA similar to
`@route` ...like `@method(Request.Method.post)`? The use of UDA
is so much cleaner and easier to deal with.
This works as well, indeed:
@route!(r => r.method == Request.Method.Post)
3) would be nice to have an `output.json()` function which both
sets the response header and also calls `output.write()`
Just add content type and you're done!
4. I can't build anything significant in any http server
library without support for middleware. Preferably support for
multiple middlewares functions. A middleware would be a
function that runs after the @onServerInit but BEFORE any route
handler. It will be used to intercept all incoming requests for
things like authentication, rate limiting, CORS, etc.
Preferably provide a way to pass data to the target route e.g.
user session, user permission, etc...like
output.locals.set("userId", 123). The route will then be able
to access this data.
Just use a high priority handler, check the tips on website, for
example user auth.
That's a very clean way to add a layer of Auth, logging and so
on...
All in all, everything else looks good. I would prefer
something like:
```d
void hello (Request req, Response res) {
res.write("hello");
}
```
...but `Output` is also fine... just a small nitpick.
output.write() works as well.

Just create a ready-to-go serverino using the project template:
```dub init -t serverino your_server```
And then test the new feature:
```d

mixin ServerinoMain;
@endpoint @route!"/hello/world" // also: @route!(request =>
request.uri == "/hello/world")
void your_request(const Request r, Output o)

@endpoint @route!(request => r.get.has("item"))
void another_request(const Request r, Output o)

o ~= "Item " ~ r.get.read("item");
}
@endpoint @priority(-1)
void this_is_a_fallback(const Request r, Output o)

Sorry I don't follow you
It is simple, since all your handler are effectively chained,
any error in any one of them can cause later ones to fail or
misbehave. This decreases locality and increases the things you
have to reason about.
Not sure. What if your uda (regex) match is too permissive? Is
that different?
My code evaluates workers in order, just like yours, no?
Maybe I can enable some log if set on config, to track what's
happening. That could help you to debug if something goes wrong.
There are other benefits to uda tagged endpoints too, for
example they are easier to nest, or to programmatically
generate them. In vibe-d I added the default option of
generating OPTION handlers for every regular endpoint. This is
required for CORS.
@endpoint void func(...){
if(req.method == Method.OPTION){
// THIS RUN FOR EVERY ENDPOINT
}
}
In any case if you want to use a different routing strategy
it's quite easy. I really don't like libraries that force you
to use their own style/way.
That is good.

Well, cgi does one process per request, so there is no worker
pool (it is the original "serverless" lol).
fastcgi is interesting because the Apache module for it will
actually start and stop worker processes as-needed. I don't
think the the nginx impl does that though.
Some daemons can manage this by themselves (once again: check
php-fpm "dynamic" setting).
Serverino can do it as well. You can set in configuration the max
and min number of workers. It's easy:
```
@onServerInit auto setup()
{
ServerinoConfig sc = ServerinoConfig.create();
sc.setMinWorkers(5);
sc.setMaxWorkers(100);
return sc;
}
```
If all workers are busy the daemon will launch a new one. You
might be interested in
setMaxWorkerLifetime() and sc.setMaxWorkerIdling() too!
But the nicest thing about all these application models is if
you write it in the right way, you can swap out the approach,
either transparently adding the i/o event waits or just adding
additional servers without touching the application code.
That's a lot harder to do when you expect shared state etc.
like other things encourage.
I would mention that if something goes wrong and a process crash
or get caught in an infinite loop, it's not a problem. Process is
killed and wake up again without pull all the server down.

For non critical workload you will probably still hit good
enough performance though.
Firstly, it depends on how many workers you have.
Then you should consider that a lot of (most?) websites use
php-fpm, that works using the same approach (but php is much
slower than D). The same goes for cgi/fastcgi/scgi and so on.
Let's say you have just 20 workers. 100msecs for each request
(a lot of time for my standards, I would say). That means
20*10 = 200 webpages/s = 720k pages/h. I don't think your
website has so much traffic...
And I hope not every request will take 100msecs!
100msecs is on the upper end for sure, but if you add a
database, external service call, etc. it is not uncommon to
reach that.
And you can still handle 700k/views per hour with 20 workers!
The point however, is that the architecture breaks down because
it is unable to do work concurrently. Every requests blocks a
worker from start to finish.
Unless it is CPU heavy the system will be under utilized. That
is not necessarily bad though. The simplicity has something
going for it, but it is definitely a tradeoff that you should
consider highlighting.
Every server has its own target. BTW, I'm not developing
serverino to use it as a building block of a CDN.
In real-life projects, I think you can use it without any problem
for not-huge projects.
You can also put it under a reverse proxy (f.e. nginx), to handle
just the requests you need to write in D.
The difference is that with the route uda you can *only* map
routes 1:1 exhaustively. With your approach it is up to the
programmer to avoid errors. It is also hard to reason about the
flow of requests through all those functions, and you have to
look at the body of them to determine what will happen.
Sorry I don't follow you: I don't know which framework you're
using, but if you're using UDA with matches (something like:
@matchUri("/main") void renderMain(...) { ... }) you still have
to check all the functions if a request is not handled correctly.
Or am I missing something?
Using my approach if you want to check which functions escape
from routing you can just add a catch-all endpoint with low
priority.
```
@priority(-1000) @endpoint
void wtf(Request r, Output o)
{
fatal("Request NOT HANDLED: ", r.dump());
}
```
And if a request doesn't match your UDA constraint, how do you
debug what's wrong with it? I think it's easier to add a
checkpoint/log on the first lines of your functions body to guess
why the function is skipped.
In any case if you want to use a different routing strategy it's
quite easy. I really don't like libraries that force you to use
their own style/way.
So you can even drop my UDAs and write the app like this. It
still works:
```
mixin ServerinoMain;
void entry(Request r, Output o)
{
// Use your routing strategy here
// ...
// YourRouter router;
// router.do(r, "/hello/world", );
// router.do(r, "/bla", );
}
```

I did some tests and the performance sounds good: on a local

page containing just "hello world!".Of course that's not a
good benchmark, if you can help me with other benchmarks it
would be much appreciated (a big thanks to Tomáš Chaloupka who

Typically server applications are IO heavy. I expect your
isolated-process approach to break down with that kind of work.
I know. We all know :) Benchmarks are just benchmarks. They are
useful to understand how much overhead your server adds to the
whole project. These benchmarks are made in the local machine,
with almost no connection overhead.
Not every application is IO heavy, anyway.

Instead of using a lot of different UDAs to set routing rules,
you can simply write them in your endpoint's body and exit
from it to pass to the next endpoint.
My experience is that exhaustive matching is easier to reason
about at larger scale.
Yes, but exactly the same thing can be done without uda.
```
@endpoint void my_end(Request r, Output o)
{
if (r.uri == "/asd") // or whatever you want: regex, or
checking another field
return false; //
}
```
This is just like:
```
@matchuda(uri, "/asd") void my_end() { ... }
```
What's the difference? The first one is much more flexible, IMHO.
Please help me testing it, I'm looking forward to receiving

Re: Regionprops implementation for D
On Monday, 11 March 2019 at 09:29:16 UTC, Ferhat Kurtulmuş wrote: I am trying to learn dlang and decided to develop a regionprops library in pure d (https://github.com/aferust/regionpropsford). I borrowed some code and translated into d for performing routines like connected component labeling and convexhull. The library does not have any dependency except dlang standard library phobos. In theory, the library can be used with any image processing library allowing access to raw image data pointer. I have recently found out that dcv is dead. So, the library uses its own data type (Mat2D!T). Although it has been tested with dlib, you can test it with other libraries such as dcv. I admit that many code were written clumsily, however my test showed that it is fast and safe enough so far. Nice work Ferhat! Some suggestions: - Add it to code.dlang.org (I can't find it) - Add a buildable example on your library code base. - Publish some pictures on github page to make the result clear :)

I have zero to no experience with 3d printing so I can't really relate much to it. Thank you! If you eventually start with 3d printing you'll notice that there are a lot of vases to print. People loves them (for many reasons). However it's not that easy to model a nice (artistic) vase: it requires a good knowledge of 3d editors and also if you have some pratice with them, you can have a hard time to make models printable. Vasaro let you create nice vases in just a few minutes and it makes a lot of users happy. :)

I've just released Vasaro
Hi! I've just released the first version of vasaro. It's a simple program I wrote to create 3d printable vases. It's written in D (of course). It uses derelict-gl, derelict-sdl and gtkd. It should work on linux, macOS and Windows. A special thanks to Adam Ruppe and his SimpleDisplay library I used on earlier versions :) A demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkYo8WCW9jM On reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/a3qykj/ive_just_released_vasaro_the_easytouse_software/ On github: https://github.com/trikko/vasaro/ Feel free to test it!

On Monday, 1 October 2018 at 09:34:34 UTC, Guillaume Piolat wrote: printed is a low-level API to generate self-contained PDF 1.4/SVG 1.1 documents hopefully suitable for print. Currently it does not provide any "layout" option, you are just provided a sort of 2D Canvas API which can then render to either SVG or PDF. No line-breaking, paragraphs, ligature, vertical glyphs, or any type of layout are provided, they would have to be implemented on top of it. The most saliant feature is that you are able to embed a TrueType/OpenType font inside the generated PDF, instead of being restricted to the default fonts of PDF. It includes an OpenType parser, font matching algorithms and a FontRegistry which deals with "finding whatever font are installed". http://code.dlang.org/packages/printed Nice!

Arrogant - HTML5 dom with CSS selectors
On behalf of the company I work for [1] today I released a new library: arrogant. It is a fully conformant HTML5 dom library with CSS selectors. It wraps Modest library [2] by Alexander Borisov that is a quite bigger library/framework. As pointed out promptly by rikkimax [3] it doesn't rely on dynamic loading of modest but it links it during building. So you need to compile modest (not a big effort, is a plain C library without external dependencies) as prerequisite (check readme on github). It is in its early days so any help / pull request / opened issue / benchmark / suggestion are welcome. Developed and tested on Linux. Should work fine on OSX. Never tried on windows.

So I made it myself. mofile is similar to GNU gettext, but gettext and ngettext functions are implemented as member functions of MoFile struct. This package features only .mo file parsing and getting translated messages (with support for plural forms). No bindtextdomain present (so no globals) To produce .mo files you still use standard utilities like xgettext, msginit, msgmerge and msgfmt. dub package: https://code.dlang.org/packages/mofile github repo: https://github.com/FreeSlave/mofile Good news!
