Nearly 25,000 more Iowans file unemployment claims

Nearly 25,000 more Iowans filed unemployment claims in the past week, Iowa Workforce Development reported Thursday.

Continuing weekly unemployment claims total 181,358, the department reported.

Iowa Workforce Development said 24,693 people filed unemployment claims between April 26 and May 2. That included 22,830 initial claims by people who work in Iowa and 1,863 claims filed by people who work in Iowa but live in another state.

State unemployment insurance benefit payments totaled $50,931,302 for the same week, the department said.

Also this week, a total of $111,378,600 in Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation benefits was paid to 164,088 Iowans. Since April 4, a total of $439,126,200 has been paid.

A total of $10,046,089 was paid to 15,612 Iowans receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits.

The industries with the most claims were manufacturing, 6,053; industry not available, self-employed, independent contractors, 4,010; health care and social assistance, 2,988; accommodation and food services, 2,200; and retail trade, 1,768.

Gov. Kim Reynolds is continuing to allow more businesses to reopen, which may mean more Iowans going back to work.

On Wednesday, after meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, Reynolds issued a proclamation permitting a variety of businesses to reopen, including dental services, drive-in movie theaters, tanning facilities and medical spas.

She also relaxed mitigation strategies in the 22 counties that remain under more strict orders because the virus is more widespread there.

Beginning Friday in those 22 counties — which include Linn, Johnson and Black Hawk — malls and retail stores may reopen provided they operate at no more than 50 percent of capacity, and fitness centers may reopen on an appointment basis only.

Resumable File Uploads to Auphonic

Large file uploads in a web browser are problematic, even in 2018. If working with a poor network connection, uploads can fail and have to be retried from the start.

At Auphonic, our users have to upload large audio and video files, or multiple media files when creating a multitrack production. To minimize any potential issues, we integrated various external services which are specialized for large file transfers, like FTP, SFTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, etc.

To further minimize issues, as of today we have also released resumable and chunked direct file uploads in the web browser to auphonic.com.

If you are not interested in the technical details, please just go to the section Resumable Uploads in Auphonic below.

The Problem with Large File Uploads in the Browser

If using either mobile networks (which remain fragile) or unstable WiFi connections, file uploads are often interrupted and will fail. There are also many areas in the world where connections are quite poor, which makes uploading big files frustrating.

After an interrupted file upload, the web browser must restart the whole upload from the start, which is a problem when it happens in the middle of a 4GB video file upload on a slow connection.
Furthermore, the longer an upload takes, the more likely it is to have a network glitch interrupting the upload, which then has to be retried from the start.

The Solution: Chunked, Resumable Uploads

To avoid user frustration, we need to be able to detect network errors and potentially resume an upload without having to restart it from the beginning.

To achieve this, we have to split a file upload in smaller chunks directly within the web browser, so that these chunks can then be sent to the server afterwards.
If an upload fails or the user wants to pause, it is possible to resume it later and only send those chunks that have not already been uploaded.
If there is a network interruption or change, the upload will be retried automatically.

Companies like Dropbox, Google, Amazon AWS etc. all have their own protocols and API's for chunked uploads, but there are also some open source implementations available, which offer resumable uploads:

resumable.js [link]:
"A JavaScript library providing multiple simultaneous, stable and resumable uploads via the HTML5 File API"
This solutions is a JavaScript library only and requires that the protocol is implemented on the server as well.
tus.io [link]:
"Open Protocol for Resumable File Uploads"
Tus.io offers a simple, cheap and reusable stack for clients and servers (in many languages). They have a blog with further information about resumable uploads, see tus blog.
plupload [link]:
A JavaScript library, similar to resumable.js, which requires a separate server implementation.

We chose to use resumable.js and developed our own server implementation.

Resumable Uploads in Auphonic

If you upload files to a singletrack or multitrack production, you will see the upload progress bar and a pause button, which is one way to pause and resume an upload:

It is also possible to close the browser completely or shut down your computer during the upload, then edit the production and upload the file again later. This will just resume the file upload from the position where it was stopped before.
(Previously uploaded chunks are saved for 24h on our servers, after that you have to start the whole upload again.)

In case of a network problem or if you switch to a different connection, we will resume the upload automatically.
This should solve many problems which were reported by some users in the past!

You can of course also use any of our external services for stable incoming and outgoing file transfers!

Do you still have Uploading Issues?

We hope that uploads to Auphonic are much more reliable now, even on poor connections.

If you still experience any problems, please let us know.
We are very happy about any bug reports and will do our best to fix them!

Global Gitignore Files Are Cool and So Are You

Setting it up

First, here's the config setup you need to even allow for such a radical concept.

  1. Define the global gitignore file as a global Git configuration:

    git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore
    

    If you're on OSX, this command will add the following config lines in your ~/.gitconfig file.

    [core]
      excludesfile = /Users/triplegirldad/.gitignore
    
  2. Load that ~/.gitignore file up with whatever you want. It probably doesn't exist as a file yet so you might have to create it first.

Harnessing its incredible power

There are only two lines in my global gitignore file and they are both fairly useful pretty much all the time.

$ cat ~/.gitignore
TODO.md
playground

This 2 line file means that no matter where I am, what project I'm working on, where in the project I'm doing so, I have an easy space to stash notes, thoughts, in progress ideas, spikes, etc.

TODO.md

More often than not, I'm fiddling around with a TODO.md file. Something about writing markdown in your familiar text editor speaks to my soul. It's quick, it's easy, you have all the text editing tricks available to you, and it never does anything you wouldn't expect (looking at you auto-markdown-formatting editors). I use one or two # for headings, I use nested lists, and I ask for nothing more. Nothing more than more TODO.md files that is!

In practice I tend to just have one TODO.md file per project, right at the top, ready to pull up in a few keystrokes. Which I do often. I pull this doc up if:

  • I'm in a meeting and I just said "oh yeah that's a small thing, I'll knock it out this afternoon".
  • I'm halfway through some feature development and realize I want to make a sweeping refactor elsewhere. Toss some thoughts in the doc, and then get back to the task at hand.
  • It's the end of the day and I have to switch my brain into "feed small children" mode, thus obliterating everything work-related from my short term memory. When I open things up the next day and know exactly what the next thing to dive into was.
  • I'm preparing for a big enough refactor and I can't hold it all in my brain at once. What I'd give to have an interactive 3D playground for brain thoughts, but in the meantime a 2D text file isn't a terrible way to plan out dev work.

playground

Sometimes you need more than some human words in a markdown file to move an idea along. This is where my playground directory comes in. I can load this directory up with code that's related to a given project and keep it out of the git history. Because who doesn't like a place to play around.

I find that this directory is more useful for long running maintenance projects over fast moving greenfield ones. On the maintenance projects, I tend to find myself assembling a pile of scripts and experiments for various situations:

  • The client requests a one-time obscure data export. Whip up some CSV generation code and save that code in the playground directory.
  • The client requests a different obscure data export. Pull up the last time you did something vaguely similar and save yourself the startup time.
  • A batch of data needs to be imported just once. Might as well stash that in the chance that "just once" is actually "just a few times".
  • Kicking the tires on an integration with a third party service.

Some of these playground files end up being useful more times than I can count (eg: the ever-changing user_export.rb script). Some items get promoted into application code, which is always fun. But most files here serve their purpose and then wither away. And that's fine. It's a playground, anything goes.

Wrapping up

Having a personal space for project-specific notes and code has been helpful to me over the years as a developer on multiple projects. If you have your own organizational trick, or just want to brag about how you memorize everything without any markdown files, let me know in the comments below!
