Test: Experiencing the Nexe project


Today I have tried my hands on Nexe. It's an open source project on Github to create a single executable file out of node.js application. So here is my feedback.

After building the node.js based app, we always question about how do we ship it. So basically, Nexe provides a solution for that.

Since it packages together the complete node.js based app and converts the package into single standalone binary file, so that becomes very portable and easy to distribute. Well done guys!

While executing the node.js based app for the first time, Nexe tries to download dependencies that take some time to download. Usually download can only take some time if the file is big or network speed is slow. Since my internet speed was pretty good at that time, so I believe the file must be heavy enough.

Now to make it portable, it must embed the dependencies in the binary file otherwise it can't come out without any external dependencies attached to it. So I assume that it might embeds the node.js app with the generated output file but due to that it blots the generated binary file-size.

Although this is a great initiative but the only thing I'm concerned about this project is the output that it generates because for just 1 line console.log statement it has generated a binary file having 37 MB file-size. Well, that's too much! Isn't it?

Other than the binary output file-size this is a great tool to generate a single binary app.

For your reference, here is the complete log of the steps taken to create and test the output generated by this project.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

App: Calculate your job experience or age in years

Usually, all of those who works have to put years of experience on their resume or curriculum vitae. But 90% people put it wrong when they convert their experience in years only. Although they know the exact number of months and years but the conversion, they do is wrong. This happens because there are 12 months while the digit after decimal would be 0-9, i.e., 10 digits. Which means that we have to represent the number of months in terms of year. So here I have provided a small gadget to calculate it. Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.

Story → Sub-task So the workaround for converting the story into defect is given below: Open your  story Click on  more  option Click on the  Convert to sub-task  option in the dropdown You would be asked to choose  Parent  story, so chose relevant story After submit, your  story  gets converted into  sub-task Story → Defect Now if you want the story to be converted into defect, then you should first convert it into sub-task. Thereafter, you can convert that sub-task into defect as given below: Open the  sub-task Click on  more  option Click on the  Convert to issue  option in the dropdown You would be asked to fill up relevant fields required for raising a  defect , fill them up as required After submit, your  sub-task  gets converted into  defect .
