Hi all,
Welcome to another issue of BetterDev. This week we will learn about making SWIFT payment, imagine you don’t have to rely on Stripe, and just be able to make payment right from your bank through SWIFT Protocol.
If you enjoy BetterDev, please spread the word by sharing it with your friends. And if you’d like to support my work, buying me a coffee would be much appreciated.
Hear from John Hammond & Daniel Miessler on some of the critical strategies and prescriptive DevSecOps approach needed to build and maintain trust in the age of AI-powered development. Save your spot
SWIFT is the most widely used international payment method in the world. In this tutorial we will be going over how to send a SWIFT wire programatically to your bank, what information you might need about your recipient to allow the payment to clear successfully, and the software you might need to do so. The following example can be implemented in code using iso20022.js.
A tale of how not renewing domain allow one to register and control an endpoint, lead to RCE. Another reminder that if you ever has a domain in use, then stopping using it, don’t let it expired. Also, yet another story to stick with traditional TLD such as .com, .net etc
B-trees are used by many modern DBMSs. Learn how they work, how databases use them, and how your choice of primary key can affect index performance.
A very hand-on comparison of SLO functionality on 3 platforms. Really good and detail write up if you’re evaluating these observability platfor.

Today, we will looks into the :has
pseduo class and share some of the most interesting real-world use cases I’ve found so far, along with some truly mindblowing experiments.
In recent years, you may notice we started to use SSH key with ED25519 instead of RSA. You will notice the key length is much shorter, but more secure. Another Two cryptographic algorithms that have become increasingly popular are x25519. AWS has optimized the x25519 and Ed25519 cryptographic algorithms in their AWS LibCrypto library, improving both performance and security and they share the benchmark and how we can use it here.
If you ever want to get the SHA of the Github commit in a Github action. You will quickly realize depend on pull request or branch push, the data path to get the SHA is different. In this we will demystify it
To create git commit, we use Git high-level commands (also known as Porcelain commands) like git add, and git commit. However, there is another group of Git commands, known as Plumbing commands, that handle the low-level operations. In this blog post, we want to create a Git commit using these low-level operations, and not the git commit command.
There are character that looks the same. But depending on where one type the message, it may be a different unicode code of the underlying data. So today we will learn the tail of hyphen and hyphen-minus.
Make use of recursive queries in Rails when using Postgresql or SQLite to retrieve tree-based data.

RubyInstead of cluttering up your computer with Docker, Prometheus, Grafana or even K8S just to monitor a Go app’s heap size, use this package to Monitor a Go app’s performance. Note that, it’s build mainly for local dev
GoFast and exact implementation of the C++ from_chars functions for number types: 4x to 10x faster than strtod, part of GCC 12, Chromium, Redis and WebKit/Safari. C++ is the language I never wrote, but I do plan to read to understand how float parse from characters works.
to provide a fast, lightweight 2D library that works across all devices. The PixiJS renderer allows everyone to enjoy the power of hardware acceleration without prior knowledge of WebGL. Also, it’s fast. Really fast.
