Oh man, we’re back. At the start of the week, I was informed of a microservice module called “Satellite”. Now, Satellite is the place where we keep any commonly used microservice. I really wanted to learn more about microservices and I thought this is the place. During this week, I’ve…

Working on removing spaces was quite an interesting task. I’m still very new at JavaScript, so I thought that this would be a cool task to do! So, I had to make a module and test module for removing spaces, easy, right? Kinda. …

Last post, I’ve talked about the troubles of First & Last train arrival times, due to the lack of Subway data that the TTC neglects to publish. Now, this is an expansion on another issue that has been brought up while developing the Subway API. Last post, I’ve talked about…

The Toronto Subway is a main part of the TTC’s fleet. Millions of people a year travel underneath the city under these electric trains, but only a few thousand hop on immediately when train service begins. While it’s incredibly easy to grab live data for the TTC Buses and Streetcars…

I’ve been tasked with overhauling the logger for our feeds in Telescope. It’s pushing a lot of redundant log messages onto the feed. While the information is great, some of those messages might be appropriate for debugging in development. In processor.js, we call the error portion of the logger whenever…

Well, not really… npm 7.x has updated so that dependencies work differently when installed. The fix? Set “legacy-peer-dep” to true, and BAM! We’re back in service (at least until we overhaul our packages). How did I find out? Well, it was documented right here: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/blob/latest/implemented/0025-install-peer-deps.md

Well. Here’s my post about OpenTTC, and a mini rant on how Toronto structures their own data. I started working on the revamped version of OpenTTC. …

Wow, I finally get to start talking about Open Source again! I’m very excited just writing about this, cause I have a greater chance to work on Telescope, and my own projects. This blog post will be split into two parts: Telescope, and OpenTTC respectfully. Beginning with Telescope. To be…

Well, this is it. We learnt how to package our code, and upload them to pypi. The final stretch. The last hoorah. I actually found this Lab really easy. All I had to do was to invoke setuptools and wheel, and voila! All done. It was very fast, because I’ve…
