Drupal 7 EOL and how long will Drupal 9 be Supported

How long will Drupal 9 be supported.  Currently, it is 2023. This is a crucial question for Drupal site owners and builders. While that may seem like a long time away, upgrading from Drupal 8 to 9 is relatively easy compared to previous upgrades from Drupal 5 to 6 and 6 to Drupal 7.

Where does this leave the Drupal 7 sites that still need to be upgraded to Drupal 9? The year is 2022, and Drupal 7 continues to be supported for a bit longer to help developers and owners with the upgrade process.

Drupal 8 and 9 have really come into their own in recent years. Drupal 8 offered significant enhancements compared to Drupal 7, and the contributed modules are looking promising for the future of Drupal.

Apache Spark Knapsack Approximation Algorithm in Python

The code shown below computes an approximation algorithm, greedy heuristic, for the 0-1 knapsack problem in Apache Spark. Having worked with parallel dynamic programming algorithms a good amount, wanted to see what this would look like in Spark. The Github code repo. for the Knapsack approximation algorithms is here , and it includes a Scala solution. The work on a Java version is in progress at time of this writing. Below we have the code that computes the solution that fits within the knapsack W for a set of items each with it's own weight and profit value. We look to maximize the final sum of selected items profits while not exceeding the total possible weight, W. First we import some spark libraries into Python. # Knapsack 0-1 function weights, values and size-capacity. from pyspark.sql import SparkSession from pyspark.sql.functions import lit from pyspark.sql.functions import col from pyspark.sql.functions import sum Now define the function, which will take a Spark ...
