Covid 19 world pandemic has forced us to distance ourselves from all sorts of things. Conferences were canceled and so many businesses (and lives) changed. ITB adapted. It tends to show that they can successfully do a virtual conference. On May 7. and 8. 2020. Into The Box is set to be held in your home. Bedroom. Dorm room. Home office. You choose.https://teratech.com/into-the-box-2020-conference-welcome-to-the-virtual/Blog - Ben Nadel - The Affect Of File-IO On Performance Experimentation In Docker And Lucee CFMLEver since I learned that Lucee CFML supports parallel array iteration, I've been itching to find a good place to really leverage it. And, recently, it occurred to me that I might be able to use it to boost PDF generation at InVision. Currently, when you generate a PDF for a prototype, we let the CFDocument tag slurp in images using securely-signed, remote URLs. But, what if I downloaded those images to a scratch folder first; and then, used local file-paths in the CFDocument tag? Would it change the performance characteristics of the PDF generation?Well, as it turns out, Yes and No. And, I'm not sure - it's confusing.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3819-the-affect-of-file-io-on-performance-experimentation-in-docker-and-lucee-cfml.htm Blog - Fusion Reactor - How to Find Memory Leaks in Java Web ApplicationsFinding memory leaks in your Java application could be a needle in a haystack exercise if you are a rookie or intermediate Java developer who is yet to know their way around the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) production environment. However, depending on your profiling tool, you can easily analyze your Java memory consumption, while obtaining instantaneous insights into the heap in your Java production applications. But before we go into the details on how to find memory leaks in java web applications, let’s get into what a Java memory leak is, the possible causes of such leakages and remediation procedures to handle this.http://www.fusion-reactor.com/blog/how-to-find-memory-leaks-in-java-web-applications/Video Live Stream - Matthew Clemente - CommandBox VSCode extension + CFFormat (Learning by Trial and Error)A couple weeks ago, Ortus Solutions released a CommandBox extension for VSCode. Over a year ago, John Berquist released the CFFormat command for CommandBox. I'll be taking a look at both of them for the first time tonight, and possibly using them in tandem. As always, be prepared for a lot of trial and error while I learn by doing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ-p0fh0uDYafeature=youtu.beBlog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - What's New In CommandBox 5 - Using Lucee Light Servers and Snapshot BuildsLearn how to start Lucee Light servers, and also how to test Lucee snapshot builds in CommandBox 5.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/whats-new-in-commandbox-5-using-lucee-light-servers-and-snapshot-buildsTweet - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - Task runners - everything is easier in CFMLI just replaced a 66 line bash script with 10 lines of CFML code in a CommandBox Task Runner.  Everything is easier to do in CFML ???? commandbox.ortusbooks.com/task-runners #CFML #ColdFusionhttps://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1255623572673921025https://twitter.com/bdw429sBlog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - TestBox v4.0.0 Released!We are excited to announce a major version release of TestBox version 4.0.0.

And, while the photo looks "fine" on the phone (and on their computer), it will render as rotated in the browser. This is because the photo was taken with a non-upright camera orientation. The camera stores this orientation setting in the Orientation EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) header of the image file. And so, if I could read the EXIF Orientation and "correct" it using GraphicsMagick and Lucee CFML 5.2.9.31.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3818-reading-exif-orientation-and-auto-orienting-images-using-graphicsmagick-and-lucee-cfml-5-2-9-31.htm Blog - Martin - Lucee - Windows Terminal CommandBox LoveI am not sure if anyone is already doing this, but it is easy to add CommandBox to the new Windows Terminal so that it launches in its own tab.

I had to disable "On startup: Continue where you left off" or session cookies aren't cleared.
