Announcing the release in a blog post, Microsoft also mentioned a few other minor improvements which include new sign-in methods like "Web Sign-in" for Azure users and "Fast Sign-in" which lets multiple users to sign-in to a shared PC. Microsoft has also introduced biometric authentication for remote desktop sessions via Windows Hello for Business.
The new build allows Notepad users using the Find feature, a new option to do a wrap-around find and replace. Notepad will now remember values that you've previously entered and the checkbox selections will be preserved the next time you open the Find dialog.
In addition to this, the find/replace feature will automatically search for text that is highlighted in Notepad. Notepad now also allows users to zoom-in into text. This can be accessed through 'View' option on the Menu bar but you may choose to use the standard keyboard shortcuts as well. The improved Notepad also lets users the ability to display line and column numbers via word-wrap. The status bar for this feature again is turned on in the View menu.

As far as additions to Microsoft Edge is concerned, users can now control whether media autoplay should work on every website or only on the ones you choose. The Edge browser now also includes a built-in dictionary to look up word definitions while using Reading View, reading a book or while viewing PDFs. Triggering the dictionary is as simple as highlighting a word.
For those choosing to view a PDF on the browser, there's also a new toolbar which pops up on the top of the screen that shows text descriptions for each button. The toolbar also has a new "Add notes" option to make these tools handier.
Insider Preview Build 17713 also fixes an entire list of bugs that required addressing. But because it is a preview build there is also a list of issues that Microsoft already knows about and tells you about it on its blog post. So do proceed with caution.

Spring Security with JWT for REST API

Spring is considered a trusted framework in the Java ecosystem and is widely used. It’s no longer valid to refer to Spring as a framework, as it’s more of an umbrella term that covers various frameworks. One of these frameworks is Spring Security , which is a powerful and customizable authentication and authorization framework. It is considered the de facto standard for securing Spring-based applications. Despite its popularity, I must admit that when it comes to single-page applications , it’s not simple and straightforward to configure. I suspect the reason is that it started more as an MVC application -oriented framework, where webpage rendering happens on the server-side and communication is session-based. If the back end is based on Java and Spring, it makes sense to use Spring Security for authentication/authorization and configure it for stateless communication. While there are a lot of articles explaining how this is done, for me, it was still frustrating to set it up for the f...

Java Functional Interfaces

  The term   Java functional interface   was introduced in Java 8. A   functional interface   in Java is an interface that contains only a single abstract (unimplemented) method. A functional interface can contain default and static methods which do have an implementation, in addition to the single unimplemented method. Here is a Java functional interface example: public interface MyFunctionalInterface { public void execute(); } The above counts as a functional interface in Java because it only contains a single method, and that method has no implementation. Normally a Java interface does not contain implementations of the methods it declares, but it can contain implementations in default methods, or in static methods. Below is another example of a Java functional interface, with implementations of some of the methods: public interface MyFunctionalInterface2{ public void execute(); public default void print(String text) { System.out.println(t...
