Introducing Rapier

Rapier is a code generation companion library for Google Dagger. It is designed to reduce boilerplate by generating Dagger modules for fetching configuration data from common sources.

If you’ve ever written Dagger code like this:

@Component(modules = {RapierExampleComponentEnvironmentVariableModule.class})
public interface ExampleComponent {
    @EnvironmentVariable(value = "TIMEOUT", defaultValue = "30000")
    public long getTimeout();
}‍

Then Rapier can help!

During my experiments on AWS SageMaker, I found that AutoPilot does not support object detection models, so I had train using notebooks. As a result, I hit some “gotchas” fine-tuning TensorFlow Object Detection models. While this notebook works a treat on its own training data (at least when run through SageMaker studio), this discussion will focus on things I learned while trying to run it on my own data on August 31, 2024.

Adding Code Blocks with Syntax Highlighting to WebFlow

EDIT: WebFlow now supports Code Blocks out of the box! However, it only supports them in Pages, not in CMS Collection Entries, so it’s not a total solution. This article’s approach works in CMS Collection Entries, so if you need code blocks there, read on!

I’m in the process of developing the marketing website for Arachnio. Being an API product, I need to embed code in some of the site’s pages and blog posts. The website is built on WebFlow, which I have found to be generally outstanding, but it does not support inline code or code blocks out of the box. Here’s how I got code blocks with syntax highlighting working in WebFlow.
