On Sept. 2, the Canadian Government announced an update to the Digital Privacy Act (June 2015) that will make it mandatory for all Canadian companies to report if their data has been breached. Currently, Alberta is the only province where companies are required to report breaches by law. This change makes this a requirement across the country.
\nA 2017 study by the Ponemon Institute found data breaches are most expensive in the United States and Canada. The average per capita cost of a data breach was $225 in the United States and $190 in Canada. However, because breach reporting is not mandatory, it’s difficult to get a full picture of the number of breaches. Still, over the last few years there have been a number of high profile data breaches where the personal information of Canadians was stolen. It’s hoped that mandatory reporting will create an incentive for organizations to take information security more seriously.
\n\nThe consequences for organizations that decide not to comply with the new rules are two-fold. First of all is the public relations nightmare that occurs when knowledge of the breach eventually becomes public. Typically this comes in the form of loss of confidence in the brand and will result in loss of customers; up to a third of customers will leave after a breach. Second, are the fines for non-compliance under the proposed new rules; up to $10,000 for a summary offence and up to $100,000 for an indictable offence.

Most developers will answer \\n (except for front-end developers, they would say: \"</br>tag\" 😊 ). But this is not true, let's understand why.
\nWhat is an End of Line character:
\nIt is a character in a string which represents a line break, which means that after this character, a new line will start. There are two basic new line characters:
\nLF (character : \\n, Unicode : U+000A, ASCII : 10, hex : 0x0a): This is simply the '\\n' character which we all know from our early programming days. This character is commonly known as the ‘Line Feed’ or ‘Newline Character’.
\nCR (character : \\r, Unicode : U+000D, ASCII : 13, hex : 0x0d) : This is simply the 'r' character. This character is commonly known as ‘Carriage Return’.
\nAs matter of fact, \\r has also has a different meaning. In older printers, \\r meant moving the print head back to the start of line and \\n meant starting a new line.
\nOS support
\nUnix: Unix systems consider '\\n' as a line terminator. Unix considers \\r as going back to the start of the same line.
\nMac (up to 9): Older Mac OSs consider '\\r' as a newline terminator but newer OS versions have been made to be more compliant with Unix systems to use '\\n' as the newline.
\nWindows: Windows has a different style of newline, Windows supports the combination of both CR and LF as the newline character - '\\r\\n'.
\nHow to check
\nThere are lots ways to check this. I use Notepad++ as my text editor for this because it is easy to use and is widely used by developers.
\nNPP show all characters
Open any text file and click on the pilcrow (¶) button. Notepad++ will show all of the characters with newline characters in either the CR and LF format. If it is a Windows EOL encoded file, the newline characters of CR LF will appear (\\r\\n). If the file is UNIX or Mac EOL encoded, then it will only show LF (\\n).
\nNPP Extended search
\nPress the key combination of Ctrl + Shift + F and select 'Extended' under the search mode. Now search '\\r\\n' - if you find this at end of every line, it means this is a Windows EOL encoded file. However, if it is '\\n' at the end of every line, then it is a Unix or Mac EOL encoded file.
\nHow to convert
\nLet's stick with notepad++ for this, too. Open any file that you would like to convert, click on the Edit menu, scroll down to the EOL conversion option, and select the format that you would like to convert the file to.

Those Languages are used to make applications that run iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. Cocoapods also acts as a coding hub to share your code with other people. That way we as a community of coders don’t have to “re-invent the wheel” to tackle problems that have already been solved.
\nCocoapods is built on top of Ruby, so you would need to install that in your system before using Cocoapods.
\nThen, you can install using this command:
\nsudo gem install cocoapods
Open Terminal and go to your XCode project directory.
\nAfterwards, run this command:
\npod init
Then a Podfile is generated, configure the file, like so:
\nplatform :ios, '8.0' \nuse_frameworks! \ntarget 'MyApp' do \n pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.6' pod 'ORStackView', '~> 3.0' \n pod 'SwiftyJSON', '~> 2.3'\nendWhere ‘MyApp’ is your application project and the ‘pod’ inside it are the libraries that you want to use! If you need to control which version of those libraries you can manipulate it on the right side of the config.
\nIf you want to keep up to date with the codes shared in cocoapods you can run the command:
\npod update
That way any latest bug fixes, enhancement and features on the new version will be downloaded!
\nTo see which Libraries that you want to utilize, head over to cocoapods and search over there!

Don’t fret! You can get a FREE SSL certificate! Through “Let's Encrypt\", a free, automated, and open certificate authority, you will be able to acquire the necessary certificate to enable SSL on your website. Check out the below steps you can follow to get an SSL certificate for your site today.
\nTo obtain this certificate, you will first need to prove ownership of the domain. There are two requirements that you need to meet in order to generate a certificate from “Let's Encrypt”:
\nHttp-01:
\nYou will need to setup a directory on your web server's root, and the name of this directory should be “.well-know” and with a “acme-validation” directory included within this. Inside these directories, create a file containing the random string that was provided by the ACME server and this file should serve content which is the random string included in the doc.
Sample Structure
\n/.well-known/acme-validation/&lt;random file name provided by ACME&gt;Dns-01:
\nYou will need to create a .TXT record on the subdomain _acme-challenge. For instance, if you would like to obtain an SSL for the domain “example.com”, then you will need to setup a subdomain on this domain - _acme-challenge.example.com - and the content of the .TXT record will be a random string provided by the ACME server.
\nNow that you have everything setup, how do you get your FREE SSL? Below, we will go over the various ways to enable SSL for free on your website:
\n1. Certbot : certbot is a Linux utility that is simple yet powerful. This tool doesn't share private keys with any servers, and it keeps your private key on the client that is being used to generate the cert. You can install certbot with the following command on ubuntu:
\n$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot\n$ sudo apt-get update\n$ sudo apt-get install certbotThe certbot site has even more details and information for installing this on other systems.
\nOnce installed, open the DNS Manager (must do!) and call the following command to get the SSL certificate for your domain.
\nsudo certbot --text --agree-tos --email &lt;YOUR EMAIL ID&gt; -d &lt;YOUR DOMAIN&gt; --manual --preferred-challenges dns --expand --renew-by-default --manual public-ip-logging-ok certonlyThis command will request that you add the .TXT record on the subdomain _acme-challenge. Once this is added, simply press any key to generate the SSL certificate. It will show the locations of the certified file.
\n2. Online using https://www.sslforfree.com/ : This is also a non-profit site and you can get SSL without any installation; just follow the steps to set up the ACME compliant site structure. They provide an easy step-by-step guide for generating the SSL certificate. Once you work through the guide, you will be able to download a copy of your certificate and include on your webserver.
\n3. Other ways : There are lots of other ways to get the “Let's Encrypt” SSL. This page contains a list of ACME clients and libraries, so you can choose to work with whichever one that best suits your needs.
