Alternative Way To Install Upwork Desktop App For Manjaro(Arch Linux)

by Yohan Ardiansyah June 23, 2022

A few days ago, I wanted to install the Upwork desktop application to my Manjaro OS. Before this, I succeeded in installing the Upwork desktop application on my Windows 10 OS. But when I tried to install the application to my Manjaro OS, there was an error when the installation process tried to fetch the binary from the AUR (Archlinux User Repository). I already tried to check my connection, VPN, and tried some solutions from the internet but they were not helpful at all.

Develop RPC Connection with Golang

by Yohan Ardiansyah June 22, 2022

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a communication model that allows the client to call a procedure from another computer as if the procedure existed locally. For example, if you have a function called add(a, b) in another server and the function is already registered in the RPC program, then you can call that function without defining the function in your local computer. After the client calls the procedure in the server, the server will return the result of the procedure.

Nowadays, many companies use this communication model for their internal services. This is because the user usually doesn’t need to know how the internal services communicate with each other. Because of its simplicity, RPC will increase the performance of the internal services. Aside from that, it can reduce the effort to redevelop code to call each other internal services.

For software engineers, deadline already become their everyday life. When we talk about the initialization of the project, we will come to the question “When is the deadline?”. When we are working on our project, we always have questions like “How much time do I have for this project?”. And when we need to bring some changes to our work, then we will have a question like “Can I make these changes before the deadline?” in mind. And when it comes the time to assess our performance, is our work always done before the deadline?
