A strong data type system provides a lot of safety. It means that you cannot accidentally pass a String when a Number was expected, for example. This simplifies logic all throughout your code and means that you'll need to write a lot less boilerplate error checking and type validation code.
But it also introduces a few new challenges, namely in that you now have to pay attention to data types and convert between them intentionally. This page will show you the different ways you can do that.
| Hi there! | |
| Following is a sample of some GitHub pull requests that could use some love. It | |
| would really help a ton if you'd help us out and clean up what you can. It's | |
| easier than you think: | |
| First, just do a sanity check; is the repository even maintained anymore? Can | |
| it just be archived or deleted? See the end-of-life suggestions below: | |
| * https://confluence.puppetlabs.com/display/OSP/End+of+Maintenance+proposal |
| define dir_perm ($path = $title) { | |
| file { $path: | |
| ensure => directory, | |
| mode => '0755', | |
| notify => Exec["dir_perm ${path}"], | |
| } | |
| exec { "dir_perm ${path}": | |
| command => "find ${path} -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;", | |
| } |
This year we're holding Puppetize PDX in Portland the first full week of October. And by some divine coincidence, the Portland Marathon is running just a few days prior. Clearly we're meant to make a full week of it! I'll be running, and it would be rad if you joined me.
You can run or walk either the full or half distance. I'll be hosting a virtual training plan to help you prepare for race day. Wanna join me?
