Debugging Yacc
Yacc has facilities that enable debugging. This feature may vary with different versions of yacc so
be sure to consult documentation for details. The code generated by yacc in file
y.tab.c
includes
debugging statements that are enabled by defining
YYDEBUG
and setting it to a non-zero value.
This may also be done by specifying command-line option “
-t
”. With
YYDEBUG
properly set, debug
output may be toggled on and off by setting
yydebug
. Output includes tokens scanned and
shift/reduce actions.
%{
#define YYDEBUG 1
%}
%%
...
%%
int main(void) {
#if YYDEBUG
yydebug = 1;
#endif
yylex();
}
In addition, you can dump the parse states by specifying command-line option "
-v
". States are
dumped to file
y.output
, and are often useful when debugging a grammar. Alternatively you can
write your own debug code by defining a
TRACE
macro as illustrated below. When
DEBUG
is
defined a trace of reductions, by line number, is displayed.
%{
#ifdef DEBUG
#define TRACE printf("reduce at line %d\n", __LINE__);
#else
#define TRACE
#endif
%}
%%
statement_list:
statement
{ TRACE $$ = $1; }
| statement_list statement
{ TRACE $$ = newNode(';', 2, $1, $2); }
;

Ford unveils all-electric Mustang Mach-E
All-new model is purpose built and is one of 14 electric Ford models coming by the end of 2020
Ford has revealed its all-electric Mustang Mach-E — its rival to the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace.
An all-new, purpose-built vehicle, the Mach-E is one of 14 electrified Ford vehicles due to come to Europe by the end of 2020.
The launch model will pack 332bhp, while a more powerful 459bhp GT version is due to arrive at a later date.
It’ll be launched initially with two battery pack sizes and three power outputs. At the entry point of the range sits a single motor-driven version with either a 75kWh battery and a 245bhp motor or a 99kWh battery and a 285bhp motor. Both should hit 60mph in under eight seconds, while ranges of 280 miles and 370 miles should be possible from each respective powertrains.
Further up in the range sits a twin-motor all-wheel-drive version with the choice of either a 75kWh battery and 245bhp, or a 99kWh battery and 332bhp. Both versions should go from 0-60mph in under seven seconds while returning claimed ranges of 260 and 335 miles.
Bill Ford, Ford Motor Company executive chairman, said: “At the first-ever Detroit auto show, Henry Ford said he was working on something that would strike like forked lightning.
“That was the Model T. Today, the Ford Motor Company is proud to unveil a car that strikes like forked lightning all over again. The all-new, all-electric, Mustang Mach-E. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s freedom. For a new generation of Mustang owners.”
Inside, the Mach-E benefits from a 15.5-inch infotainment screen with touch, swipe and pinch controls which, Ford state that ‘every smartphone owner will be comfortable using’.
First deliveries are expected to commence in October next year, with prices likely to start around £40,000.

Cayman Brac is the most scenic island, with its high limestone cliffs. It lies just 5 NM east of Little Cayman and has excellent dive sites.
Creek is the settlement on the NW coast of the island.
Position 19° 44'48"N, 79° 46'05"W.
Cayman Brac Customs should be contacted on VHF channel 16 on approach. If no reply try either calling by phone or "Cayman Shipping Adviser" on VHF ch. 16 who can then contact Customs.
Boats may be able to come alongside the Customs dock on the north side of the island (be advised - it is concrete), otherwise, moor to the white mooring buoy about 40m from the dock. (position 19°44.655N, 79°46.214W).
All the officials will require being transported out to the boat and back. The landing place for the pickup may seem at first sight, impossible, but there is a narrow cut which leads to a sheltered pool with a boat ramp.
If there is too much swell, you may be allowed to go to a buoy on the south side of the island.
Last updated December 2015..
There are over 100 mooring buoys around the island - all well maintained. Most villages have a dock where it is possible to land in a dinghy, many of which have a free toilet and shower facility.
Moorings at dive sites are identified by a white buoy with a blue strip and are available to the public at no charge.
Last updated December 2015.

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I'm currently a rising Senior at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. I'm majoring in Computer Science, and getting a minor in Business Administration. Feel free to navigate around this website to learn more about me, as well as my experience and projects regarding computer science!
I spent Summer 2018 working at Google in its headquarters in Mountain View, CA, as an Engineering Practicum Intern. There, I was on the ads team where I analyzed a new infrastructure to develop an advertisement rendering engine for Google display ads. I wrote code in C++, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS and analyzed data of ad formats put out to experiment. I also participated in a fix it challenge for my team, and fixed 7 bugs in order to prevent error in code when it is used in production.
I spent my second summer at Google as an Engineering Practicum intern in the San Francisco, CA office. I spent my summer working on Google Cloud Platform working on the Learn Assistant Panel for users to navigate easily though GCP tutorials that were best suited to users based off of their personal metrics. I coded in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and 3 other Google internal languages to complete my project. I improved overall test coverage and wired data to tests to limit hardcoded data in tests and increase efficiency for new tutorial additions.
This is a semester long group project for a Language Translation and Implementation (Compilers) class at LMU. RealHotGirlScript is an esoteric language filled with pop culture references, in an attempt to break out from what programmers would expect from a normal programming language.
RealHotGirlScript creates its syntax by using an Ohm grammar, which is parsed by Abstract Syntax Tree nodes, analyzed for semantic errors using static semantic analysis, and finally connected with a backend in JavaScript and optimized. RealHotGirlScript supports multiple data types, arithmetic expressions,
functions, if/else statements, loops, comments, classes, and print statements.

What's Cooking is an iOS mobile application coded using Swift in Xcode using storyboard vision to effectively wire API output to the user display. What's Cooking uses the Spoonacular API endpoints to display lists of recipes
a user can make based off of recipe queries. What's Cooking is a project from an Interaction Design course at LMU and applies interaction design principles of usability to guide design and navigation functionality decisions.
Created: Fall 2019
This project was made in one week in collaboration with two other students. Endurance is a fitness website that allows
a user to log in using their email, view various workouts in text and YouTube format, and log their workouts. Coded mostly in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Created: August 2017
This project was a group project for my Operating Systems course at LMU. The rap name generator creates its own unix command that asks a user for their first and last name, and returns
a user's rap name based on initials mapped to rap names. The initials inputted are converted to ASCII values and given an offset to correspond to the proper index in an array of rap first and last names; this allows a user to get the same rap name for their name regardless of case sensitivity.
This project involved using Ubuntu, Virtual Box, Makefiles, and reading and writing C code in a linux kernel.
Created: Spring 2020
This was an assignment for my Graphics class at LMU. This project uses OpenGL and C++ to rotate a cube around the x, y, and z axes.
This involves knowledge and implementation of rotation matrices of the x, y, and z, axes, a matrix multiplication function, and converting points
back and forth between Cartesian coordinates and homogeneous coordinates.
Created: Spring 2020
This was an assignment for a Graphics class at LMU, using OpenGL, C++, and Chaikin's algorithm to draw a curve. A user is able to input points that will be used in the algorithm to
transform points to a line and finally, into a curve. I inputted points for an image of Baby Yoda I found online, and found that Chaikin's curve algorithm rendered the points very similarly to the original picture.
Created: Spring 2020
I have been a part of the Society of Women Engineers since coming to LMU as a freshman. As of right now, I am serving my third year on the Executive Board in the position of President. SWE holds networking events, internship and alumni panels, social events, as well as general meetings to teach members how to be successful in the professional world as a woman in STEM. Pictured to the right is the 2019-2020 E-board and our faculty advisor at the SWE WE 19 National Conference in Anaheim.
I am an active member of LMU's on-campus chapter of Pi Beta Phi. Although it has been a great place to meet new people and attend social events, what really drew me to Sorority and Fraternity life at LMU was the emphasis on service. Pi Phi requires members to uphold certain standards as well as contribute to the community through a certain number of service hours every semester. Pi Phi's philanthropy is "Read Lead Achieve", and is executed by members attending local elementary schools and reading to students weekly.
I was on the LMU Cheerleading team during my sophomore and junior years. It was an honor to be a part of athletics, despite the 6am practice times and learning how to use the weight room for the first time. Having such a large commitment on my plate during two of my toughest years in school taught me lifelong lessons about time management and prioritizing important tasks.

GNU is the only operating system developed specifically to give its users freedom. What is GNU, and what freedom is at stake?
What is GNU?
GNU is an operating system that is free software —that is, it respects users' freedom. The development of GNU made it possible to use a computer without software that would trample your freedom.
We recommend installable versions of GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux distributions) which are entirely free software. More about GNU below .
What is the Free Software Movement?
The free software movement campaigns to win for the users of computing the freedom that comes from free software. Free software puts its users in control of their own computing. Non-free software puts its users under the power of the software's developer. See the video explanation .
What is Free Software?
Free software means the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”.
More precisely, free software means users of a program have the four essential freedoms :
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Developments in technology and network use have made these freedoms even more important now than they were in 1983.
Nowadays the free software movement goes far beyond developing the GNU system. See the Free Software Foundation's web site for more about what we do, and a list of ways you can help .
More about GNU
GNU is a Unix-like operating system. That means it is a collection of many programs: applications, libraries, developer tools, even games. The development of GNU, started in January 1984, is known as the GNU Project. Many of the programs in GNU are released under the auspices of the GNU Project; those we call GNU packages .
The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix.” “GNU” is pronounced g'noo , as one syllable, like saying “grew” but replacing the r with n .
The program in a Unix-like system that allocates machine resources and talks to the hardware is called the “kernel”. GNU is typically used with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system . GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it “Linux” by mistake .
GNU's own kernel, The Hurd , was started in 1990 (before Linux was started). Volunteers continue developing the Hurd because it is an interesting technical project.

class: center, middle, inverse, title-slide # Week 2: Foundational Skills ### Joshua Rosenberg, Alex Lishinski ### January 28, 2021 --- # Welcome! Welcome to *week 2*! Great job last week. We now feel like we have a set of **high expectations to meet** and be held to. If you have any anxiety, rest assured that we do, too, but we believe we can do fun and ambitious things this semester. --- # Homework highlight KS --- # Course organization - [Website](https://making-data-science-count.github.io/s21-intro-to-data-sci-methods-in-ed/) - Syllabus - Presentations - Homework - Videos (recordings of class and about specific topics) - Slack: https://datascienceinedu.slack.com/home - Zoom: https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/98262405076 - Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>--- # Breakout rooms! Starting with whomever had the most sleep last night... - Remind base group members of your name (and, if you like, your program) - What was one “win” you had from the homework? - What was one challenge you had from the homework? (10 minutes) --- # Foundational R skills A general framework for you to use as a foundation and as a set of concepts to help you work through the class. The four core concepts we will use to build our framework are: 1. Projects 1. Packages 1. Data 1. Functions You will use each of these in most of your analyses with R. --- # Course text <img src="https://datascienceineducation.com/dsieur-cover-routledge.jpg" width="30%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> http://datascienceineducation.com/ https://github.com/data-edu/data-science-in-education --- ## 1. Projects Working Directories ```r getwd() ``` ``` ## [1] "/home/alishinski/Documents/work/s21-intro-data-sci/slides" ``` R Projects Project options are saved in .Rproj file The here package helps you to navigate around in a project: ```r library(here) # data file here("data", "fall=2018-data-file.csv") ``` --- # 2. Packages 1. What are packages? + Code bundles that add functionality to R + Examples: ggplot2, dplyr, rtweet, quanteda, lme4 1. Where do we get packages? + CRAN or GitHub 1. How do we install packages? + install.packages("pkg-name") 1. How do we know what packages to use? + Searching + People and news related to R (more later - there are *tons*) + CRAN task views 1. How do we use packages? + `library(pkgname)` --- # 2. Installing another package Tidyverse, a collection of R packages. https://www.tidyverse.org/ Install via the following (do this now): ```r install.packages("tidyverse") ``` What issues have arisen? --- # 3. Data So far, we have used *built-in data*. There is a lot of built-in data! Loading different types of data Comma-separated values (`.csv`) ```r library(readr) readr::read_csv(here("data", "filename.csv")) ``` --- # 3. Data `.xlsx` ```r library(readxl) read_excel((here("data", "schedule.xlsx"))) ``` --- # 3. SPSS `.sav` ```r library(haven) read_sav((here("data:, file-name.sav"))) ``` --- # 3. Other data sources Google Sheets ```r library(googlesheets4) ``` Web ```r read_csv("https://github.com/data-edu/dataedu/raw/master/data-raw/wt01_online-science-motivation/raw/s12-course-data.csv") ``` --- # 4. Functions - A function is a reusable piece of code that allows us to consistently repeat a programming task - Functions in R can be identified by a word followed by a set of parentheses, like so: `word()`. More often than not, the word is a verb, such as `filter()`, suggesting that we’re about to perform an action. Indeed, functions act like verbs: they tell R what to do with our data. The parentheses are where we can provide arguments. --- # 4. Functions - What is the name of the *package* used below? - What is the name of the *data* used below? - What is the name of the function used below?* ```r library(dplyr) #mtcars glimpse(mtcars) ``` --- # 4. `select()` ```r library(dplyr) storms %>% select(name, year, month, day, hour, status) ``` ``` ## # A tibble: 10,010 x 6 ## name year month day hour status ## <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <int> <dbl> <chr> ## 1 Amy 1975 6 27 0 tropical depression ## 2 Amy 1975 6 27 6 tropical depression ## 3 Amy 1975 6 27 12 tropical depression ## 4 Amy 1975 6 27 18 tropical depression ## 5 Amy 1975 6 28 0 tropical depression ## 6 Amy 1975 6 28 6 tropical depression ## 7 Amy 1975 6 28 12 tropical depression ## 8 Amy 1975 6 28 18 tropical depression ## 9 Amy 1975 6 29 0 tropical storm ## 10 Amy 1975 6 29 6 tropical storm ## # … with 10,000 more rows ``` --- # 4. `filter()` ```r library(dplyr) storms %>% filter(month == 8) ``` ``` ## # A tibble: 2,400 x 13 ## name year month day hour lat long status category wind pressure ## <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <int> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <ord> <int> <int> ## 1 Caro… 1975 8 24 12 22.4 -69.8 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 2 Caro… 1975 8 24 18 21.9 -71.1 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 3 Caro… 1975 8 25 0 21.6 -72.5 tropi… -1 25 1010 ## 4 Caro… 1975 8 25 6 21.2 -73.8 tropi… -1 25 1010 ## 5 Caro… 1975 8 25 12 20.9 -75.1 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 6 Caro… 1975 8 25 18 20.6 -76.4 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 7 Caro… 1975 8 26 0 20.4 -77.7 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 8 Caro… 1975 8 26 6 20.3 -79 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## 9 Caro… 1975 8 26 12 20.2 -80.3 tropi… -1 25 1012 ## 10 Caro… 1975 8 26 18 20.2 -81.6 tropi… -1 25 1012 ## # … with 2,390 more rows, and 2 more variables: ts_diameter <dbl>, ## # hu_diameter <dbl> ``` --- # 4. `arrange()` ```r library(dplyr) storms %>% arrange(hour) ``` ``` ## # A tibble: 10,010 x 13 ## name year month day hour lat long status category wind pressure ## <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <int> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <ord> <int> <int> ## 1 Amy 1975 6 27 0 27.5 -79 tropi… -1 25 1013 ## 2 Amy 1975 6 28 0 31.5 -78.8 tropi… -1 25 1012 ## 3 Amy 1975 6 29 0 34.4 -75.8 tropi… 0 35 1004 ## 4 Amy 1975 6 30 0 34.3 -71.6 tropi… 0 50 998 ## 5 Amy 1975 7 1 0 36.2 -69.8 tropi… 0 60 984 ## 6 Amy 1975 7 2 0 37.4 -66.7 tropi… 0 60 984 ## 7 Amy 1975 7 3 0 37.7 -62.8 tropi… 0 55 986 ## 8 Amy 1975 7 4 0 42.5 -54.8 tropi… 0 50 986 ## 9 Caro… 1975 8 25 0 21.6 -72.5 tropi… -1 25 1010 ## 10 Caro… 1975 8 26 0 20.4 -77.7 tropi… -1 25 1011 ## # … with 10,000 more rows, and 2 more variables: ts_diameter <dbl>, ## # hu_diameter <dbl> ``` --- # 4.

Feature Flag for a Mobile Solution
HOL - Feature Flag for a Mobile Solution
In this lab you will work with a simple Xamarin Forms mobile application. Your task is to add a feature flag and then bind it to the app’s logic.
Pre-requisites:
-
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
-
Windows SDK and emulator installed
-
Android SDK and Java 1.8 JDK installed
-
Visual Studio Emulator for Android installed.
-
Xamarin installed and set up for Visual Studio.
Note: This includes Mac setup, if you have intentions to run iOS app.
-
PartsUnlimited website deployed to Microsoft Azure (see link)
Tasks Overview:
1. Clone repository using Git This task will show you how to clone a repository from github to your machine using a command line with git.
2. Open and Run the mobile app In this task you will use Visual studio to open PartsUnlimited’s Xamarin solution and a then run it on an Android emulator.
3. Adding feature flag to the mobile app In this task you will modify and add code to the Xamarin application to create a discount feature flag.
4. Validate that feature flag is operational In this task you will check that discount is applied to the products’ prices when the feature flag is toggled.
Tasks
Task 1: Clone repository using Git
Let’s get the PartsUnlimited’s source code. If you already have the source code on your machine then skip to the next task.
Clone the repository to a local directory.
Step 1. Open a command line (one that supports Git) and navigate to the directory where you want to store your local repositories. For example you can create and navigate to C:\Source\Repos
.
Step 2. Clone the repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/PartsUnlimited.git
After a few seconds of downloading, all of the code should now be on your local machine.
Task 2: Open and run the mobile app
Step 1. Open Visual Studio as administrator. Open Start menu, locate Visual Studio 2015, right click on it, select “More” and then click on “Run as administrator”.
Step 2. Open mobile app solution.
-
Click on “File”, “Open” and then “Project/Solution”.
-
Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository, select “PartsUnlimited.Mobile.sln” and click on “Open”.
-
If you haven’t done so already, you will be prompted to connect to a Mac machine.
Note: Connection to a Mac machine is only required if you want to compile and run iOS applications. To connect Mac to your Visual Studio instance follow these instructions: Xamarin: Connecting to the Mac
Step 3. You should be able to build and run the solution on iOS, Android and UWP (Windows Phone 10 or Windows 10). Let’s run it on Android emulator.
-
Right click on “PartsUnlimited.Droid” project, then on “Set as StartUp Project”.
-
Clean the solution. Right click on the solution and select “Clean Solution”.
-
Rebuild the solution. Right click on the solution and select “Rebuild Solution”.
Note:
1) If packages haven’t been restored properly then run the following command in Visual Studio’s Package Manager Console:Update-Package –reinstall
2) If you had multiple Java JDK versions installed at the time of setting up Xamarin, then you have to make sure that Visual studio is using Java SDK version 8 in Tools > Options > Xamarin
-
Select the emulator you want to run this app on and click on green triangle to run the application.
-
You should see the following main screen in your emulator:
Note: Similarly, you should be able to run this application on UWP and iOS platforms.
Task 3: Adding feature flag to the mobile app
In this task you will add a feature flag that increases discount for all products that are on special.
Step 1. Let’s add a bool variable which will be accessible everywhere within the application and represent whether feature flag is enabled.
-
If you are still running the application then stop it by clicking on the red square in Visual Studio’s tool bar or by pressing
Shift+F5
. -
Open “GlobalResources” class located at

. -
Add the following code:
... private bool _enableDiscountFeatureFlag; public bool EnableDiscountFeatureFlag { get { return _enableDiscountFeatureFlag; } set { _enableDiscountFeatureFlag = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(EnableDiscountFeatureFlag)); } } ...
-
Change the value of
Website
variable to match the URL of your existing deployment of the PartsUnlimited website in Azure, e.g. http://pudncore.azurewebsites.net
Step 2. The bool property you defined in the previous step, should be able to be set by a user, so let’s add a switch to the settings page.
-
Open “SettingsPage.xaml” file located at
PartsUnlimited
>Views
. -
Replace the whole “TableView” section with the following code:
... <TableView Intent="Settings"> <TableSection Title="General"> <TextCell Text="Website" Detail="{Binding Website, Source={x:Static resources:GlobalResources.Current}}"/> <SwitchCell On="{Binding EnableDiscountFeatureFlag, Source={x:Static resources:GlobalResources.Current}}" Text="Extra Discount Feature Flag"/> </TableSection> </TableView> ...
Note: SwitchCell is bound to the bool property you defined before, i.e. this switch will update that property every time its value is changed.
Step 3. The last thing left to do is to define what this feature toggle should control/change. In this case, it will add extra 5% of discount to each product.
- Open “ShoppingItemViewModel.cs” file located at
PartsUnlimited
>ViewModels
.
-
Update “DiscountPercentage” property in the following way:
... /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the discount percentage. /// </summary> public decimal DiscountPercentage { get { return GlobalResources.Current.EnableDiscountFeatureFlag ? _discountPercentage + 5 : _discountPercentage; } set { _discountPercentage = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(DiscountPercentage)); OnPropertyChanged(nameof(PriceAfterDiscount)); } } ...
Task 4: Validate that feature flag is operational
Step 1. Run the application again. Note the products’ prices before discount is increased. Now, click on ellipsis (...
), then on the “Settings” option to navigate to the “Settings” page.
Step 2. Turn on the feature flag and navigate back to the “Main” page.
Step 3. You can now observe the feature flag in action.
Note: By clicking on the product, the app will navigate you to the website specified in the
GlobalResource.cs
file.
Congratulations, you have completed this lab.
In this lab, you have learned how to define your own feature flag in a Xamarin Forms mobile app and how to bind a ViewModel’s property to achieve the desired outcome. Remember that feature flags can be as simple or as complicated as you wish them to be and even managed outside of your app by a service like LaunchDarkly.


Money Play. How should Red play 32?
pips Red=105 White=80
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
White’s two inner board blots allow Red to play aggressively. Sometimes a single blot can do the work of a point by limiting the opponent’s options.
Here the correct play is 18/15, 3/1 which generates extra shots on some of White’s fives, look at 65 for instance.
Because this tactic is correct you may be surprised to learn that 18/15, 13/11 leaving four blots, is not even quite an error. 13/8 and 18/13 are both double blunders.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I love everything that our beautiful state of Washington has to offer. So when it comes to my hobbies you could easily guess that most of them have to do with outdoor activites. Some of my favorite activites include hiking, fishing, riding dirt bikes, playing with my daughter at the park, and more. In my own opinion, hiking up to a waterfall or to a beautiful lake are the best hikes,and the most memorable. I'm always up to trying something new and creating a new experience, and I feel that's important to teach my daughter the same!

Wikimedia Design System and Apps
Designing for mobile apps presents unique challenges and opportunities compared to traditional websites. Mobile apps run natively on a device and have access to system resources that are harder to access within a web based architecture. Key characteristics of apps are:
- Apps are designed to fit with the rest of the operating system. When an app fits in with the rest of the OS, it not only looks and feels more at home, it lowers the users learning curve.
- A deep integration with the OS comes with benefits right out of the box, e.g. accessibility, performance, integration with voice assistants or home screen widgets.
- Offline capabilities and often reduced data usage: offline capabilities allow users to consume content from anywhere, even when they are not connected to the internet or connectivity is low.
Wikimedia Foundation's apps are an essential piece to meet our “this is for everyone” design principle. Wikimedia apps are designed with the philosophy of mobile first in mind. One of the core principles of mobile first is to embrace the constraints of a mobile environment and with it, prioritize essential information, as there’s simply not enough room for everything.
Limited connectivity of people in certain areas of the world inspires us to create products that are performant and light on data. When building new features for people using mobile apps, we strive for excellency in user experience and aim to break down complex existing flows and processes.
Strategy
The apps are here to create mobile first experiences and are not trying to replace existing desktop or community tools. Through the apps, we aim to meet potential users where they are. We are interested in understanding and addressing barriers of those that have been historically left behind, while not compromising the integrity of the workflows of our long-time users on other platforms. Making participation fit naturally the mobile first lives we live.
 Due to development speed, richer capabilities and unique needs of our user base, we are able to experiment. It is on the apps where we think the future of mobile editing will be discovered. Notably, the apps are where we piloted micro contributions, our most successful editing intervention to this date.
The apps are a forcing function to make our technologies future proof. To provide an example: Right now Wikipedia’s web experience works as a website only and cannot be exported to new mediums. By building on the apps, we create technology that is platform independent and enables next generation experiences. Whether these use artificial intelligence, augmented reality or future technology that is changing our world.
Theming
As mentioned in the introduction, iOS and Android both have platform specific guidelines. When building apps for the global Wikimedia movement, our goal is to create native experiences for the specific platform. When designing for mobile apps, guidelines for the platform sit at the top of the hierarchy. Throughout Wikimedia's product suite, we follow Wikimedia Design’s visual design principles when providing solutions.
To create a seamless and familiar experience within Wikimedia’s products and services, we apply theming that is based on Wikimedia’s visual style guidelines. Theming allows us to customize the app’s look and feel, to better represent our product’s brand. Theming is reflected in the entire UI, including individual components, like buttons. Here’s an example of applying Material Theming in the Wikipedia Android app:
The design style guide’s color palette is also used in the apps. Since both the Android and iOS Wikipedia app are available in four different reading themes (Light, Sepia, Dark and Black), they are using an enhanced color palette for an optimal reading experience. Check out more details about the color palette for Android or iOS here.
As defined in the typography section of Wikimedia’s Design Style Guide, the app’s rely on the operating system's default sans-serif typeface. The app’s mostly use icons provided by the platform, e.g. from Google Material or Apple Human Interface Guidelines, except for icons that are associated with established Wikimedia products or services (e.g. Wikipedia’s icon for user talk pages).
Principles
Focus
How clear is the goal? Based on Wikimedia Design’s “content first” principle, we aim to design apps that are easy to understand and focus on the essential. When designing, content comes first, control comes second. On mobile, screen real estate is limited, places of usage are unforeseeable and the user’s focus is reduced. We strive to reduce information density while not neglecting an interface’s functional essence. Guiding questions like: What is the essence of this feature? What is the purpose of this particular screen? How much information can be deprioritized (or left out) to convey a UI’s purpose? Clarity stands for designing user interfaces with clear call to actions, generous use of white space, accessible contrast and hierarchy when designing with type or icons. Writing concise and suitable multilingual UI copy supports in reaching their goals more efficiently.
Orientation
Where am I? Design for consistency and orientation are key aspects to help users navigate through an interface in a mobile app. We put explicit effort in communicating where users are and where they can go. Spatial awareness in a digital product helps users in achieving goals more directly. This is exemplified by using a consistent navigation, usage of depth and the application of motion. Deliberate usage of animation and transitions help users navigate an interface. Visual layers and realistic motion convey hierarchy, emotion and understanding when using a device.
Emotion
How does the design feel on an emotional level? An often forgotten and invisible theme but yet one of the most impactful: emotional design. Along the lines of our ”trustworthy yet joyful” design principle, we believe that preserving the human touch and showing ourselves with our values in our work is essential. Especially on a device that is as personal as your mobile phone. Instead of creating one more cheap and fast mass feature, we follow a philosophy that has been paved by artists, designers, and architects of the arts and crafts movement. After all, we design for humans and strive to create humane and emotional experiences. Through design, we can see and connect with other human beings. To design experiences that are emotional, we consider understanding the needs of the people we are designing for, as the core mission.
Ergonomics
How does the design feel in my hand? Ergonomics, posture, context, and the tactile nature of touch have implications on how users interact with a design. Our design principle “this is for everyone” is part of our core mission and designing for touch is different than designing for a keyboard, mouse or trackpad. When designing for apps, we embrace principles of direct manipulation, an interaction model where effect are immediately visible on the screen to the user. Designing for a touch device goes beyond enlarging buttons for bigger fingers. We deeply consider placement and positioning of elements to achieve an ergonomic user experience while being aware of different device usage types. And, as voice is considered as the most natural machine-human input method available, we make sure the interface reflects it. We design experiences that provide ergonomics on smartphones, tablets and hybrid laptop/touch devices.

Graph Coloring¶
For a first modelling example we will take a look at some graph coloring in a simple setup with 5 nodes.
To represent this graph in SATish we write an array declaration foolowed by its structure initialization.
# Number of verties in the graph.
n = 5;
# Graph representation
neigh[n][n] = {
(1,1) : 0,
(1,2) : 0,
(1,3) : 1,
(1,4) : 1,
(1,5) : 1,
(2,3) : 1,
(2,4) : 1,
(2,5) : 1,
(3,4) : 1,
(3,5) : 1,
(4,5) : 0
};
In this case, all array entries are constants. Next, we declare our problem unknowns, the color assignment for each vertex and also the list of used colors.
# Correspondence between each vertex and its color
vc[n][n];
# Used colors, a quantity we wish to minimize.
c[n];
Now, we state the constraints that well define the graph coloring problem. First of all, it is fundamental that neighbours \(i\) and \(j\) do not share a same color \(k\).
(int) neighbour_coloring[2]:
forall{i = [1:n]}
forall{j = [1:n], j > i}
forall{k = [1:n]}
neigh[i][j] -> ~(vc[i][k] & vc[j][k]);
It is also important to keep track of the colors being used, that is, for each vertex \(i\) dyed with a color \(k\) we say that \(k\) is used.
That yields the logical expression \(\forall i \,\, \forall k \,\, vc_{i, k} \implies c_{k}\).
(int) use_color[1]:
forall{i = [1:n]}
forall{k = [1:n]}
vc[i][k] -> c[k];
Following, we say that to every vertex must be assigned a unique color, where we may use the wta
quantifier keyword i.e. there exists exactly one color \(k\) related to vertex \(i\).
(int) color_all[1]:
forall{i = [1:n]}
wta{k = [1:n]}
vc[i][k];
Last but not least, we define our optimality constraint, where we state that every color used increases the overall cost.
(opt) cost: sum{k = [1:n]} c[k];

Taoiseach: Demolish Kriegel murder house
The Taoiseach wants to see the abandoned building where schoolgirl Ana Kriegel was murdered demolished.
Leo Varadkar said it is very difficult for the entire community to pass the derelict house on the outskirts of Lucan, West Dublin, and believes it should be knocked.
However, Glenwood House, which is owned by the O’Callaghan family known for their chain of hotels, has a protected- structure status.
The two-storey mansion was designed by architect James Gandon, who also designed former taoiseach Charles Haughey’s home, Abbeyville, in Kinsealy, north Dublin.
The farmhouse, built around 1800, has fallen into a state of disrepair in recent years, but cannot be touched due to its special status.
Mr Varadkar has now joined calls from some local councillors to have this status lifted.
He said: “It’s very hard to pass that building without thinking about what happened there.
It’s not, in my view, a building of enormous architectural merit and I would like to see the designation lifted by the council as well and to have that building demolished.
The Taoiseach’s comments come after two 15-year-old boys, convicted of Ana’s murder in Lucan, Co Dublin in May 2018, were sentenced on Tuesday.
Boy A, who was also convicted of aggravated sexual assault, was sentenced at the Central Criminal Court to life, with a review period after 12 years.
Boy B was sentenced to 15 years’ detention, with a review after eight years.
Local councillor Ted Leddy had also called on the building to be de-listed and destroyed.

The foundation of education shouldn’t be the acquisition of professional skills, nor the so-called critical thinking and problem-solving. It is the formation of values—a set of underivable yet influenceable guidelines on what we appreciate and distain, and what motivates us, in the first place, to think and act.
 If you were a gentleman, you would ask me to sit down.”
What should be condemned aren’t the moral wrongs of a few individuals. It’s a culture, which most STEM students are currently immersed in, that needs to be reexamined—the one that prioritizes what sounds cool and what pays more, instead of finding out what benefits the society in the long term. We might occasionally find our education distanced from the basic mission of science—to answer, to our best knowledge, what is true, what is not true, and what we don’t know.

Press release
Schools Minister Nick Gibb says publishers should make classic books available at reduced prices, so all children can read them.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb today (17 November 2015) challenged publishers to make 100 classic books available at low cost, so all pupils have the chance to read them.
Texts such as ‘Great Expectations’, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Jane Eyre’ should be made available to secondary schools at reduced prices.
Well-known children’s book publishers Penguin have suggested 100 books from their Black Classics that they could make available for low prices, and Scholastic have offered to give schools 26 books for as little as £1.50 a copy.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said:
Under our plan to extend opportunity to every child, we want every pupil to have the chance to be taught and read a wide range of literary classics which can inspire a life-long love of reading.
Access to these wonderful novels shouldn’t be the preserve of the few.
I want every secondary school to have a stock of classics such as ‘Great Expectations’, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Jane Eyre’ so that whole classes across the country can enjoy them together.
Books become free from copyright 70 years after the author’s death - and the minister is encouraging publishers to make these titles available at low cost to schools.
As part of this government’s one nation agenda, the Department for Education wants all children to be introduced to the classics of English literature, especially if these books are not on their bookshelves at home.
The minister unveiled his challenge during a speech at the Publishers’ Association conference today.
Earlier this year the government issued a call to publishers, schools, literacy organisations and early years’ providers to join forces in a bid to make English pupils the most literate in Europe by 2020 .
International surveys show that the reading ability of our 9- and 10-year-olds in England are currently the sixth best readers in Europe - with the top 18% on a par with the best in Europe.
Since the phonics check was introduced at primary level in 2012, 120,000 more children are on track to becoming excellent readers.
In August, we announced the first steps in the government’s literacy campaign , including:
The minister also praised publishers for responding to his call for better quality textbooks after saying the ‘anti-textbook ethos’ in English schools needed to end.
He said that some ‘great strides’ have been made - particularly in mathematics - but called for more good textbooks to be made available.
Teachers in 35 primary maths hub schools have been trialling 2 English adaptations of Singapore mathematics textbooks in their schools: ‘Maths No Problem’ and ‘Inspire Maths’.
The textbooks are based upon the mastery approach to teaching.
Discussions with publishers about what books they can make available are in the early stages - and government will not be stipulating what titles should be included.

The answer is yes! -- thanks to Canadian pinto-photographer Marlene Tremblay, who in March 2017 honoured
15 New York women in an exhibition at UN Headquarters for Women’s History Month.
Ms Tremblay’s 15 portraits spotlight women who hail from all parts of the globe: from Tunisia, to China,
to Colombia, to Iraq and more. Their professions are equally diverse and include UN staff, artist,
psychotherapist, ecological designer, restauranteur, international student counselor.
Artist Tremblay sought to answer the question, “What makes the New York City woman so powerful?”
Back in 2009, Ms Tremblay, who works in the Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, was
herself a newcomer to New York.
In New York City for the first time, her friendships with other female newcomers inspired her. Many felt
a new freedom to realize and develop their potential and dare to reach for long-hoped-for goals.
Ms Tremblay’s ‘portrait project’ itself expanded this sense of mutual support. As one of the portrait
subjects, Melanie Randisi, put it, “All of us bonded through Marlene’s portrait project. We sat together
and told our stories. We empathized with one another’s struggles. Though they might be different, they
are struggles any of us could be facing at any time: struggles in career, creativity, health,
relationships.”
Ms Randisi, who works with journalists based at the United Nations, organizes events at UN Headquarters
on issues of the day.
The women depicted in the portraits had inspired the artist with their strength, talents, risk-taking,
and belief in life.
Ms Tremblay created the portraits using “pinto-photography”, which combines photography and painting,
along with an overlay of natural images, such as flowers or effervescent bubbles. A process as unique as
the artist’s subjects, it aims to bring forth the inner essence of each woman.
Female friendship and the sharing of aspirations and struggles created a supportive space that propelled
all towards realizing their dreams in the “city of dreams”, New York.
Does the United Nations have its own official “anthem” or song? While there is no “mandated anthem”,
a
“Hymn to the United Nations” was written by the great cellist and composer, Pablo Casals. The
Catalonian
maestro wrote the hymn in honour of the Organization’s twenty-fifth anniversary in 1971. It was
performed on United Nations Day at UN Headquarters. The words to the hymn were written by poet W.H.
Auden of the United Kingdom.
Casals and Auden were brought together in this unusual collaboration by then United Nations
Secretary-General U Thant. For centuries, poets and musicians have sung in praise of war and
celebrated
victories in battles. U Thant was intrigued by the fact that there existed no hymn to peace. Casals
was
a personal friend of his, and when approached by Thant, he readily agreed to write the music. As the
Secretary-General explained, the song was to be based on the preamble to the Charter of the United
Nations. Although it would not be formally adopted as the official anthem of the United Nations, U
Thant
hoped it would be performed on appropriate occasions.
While Casals greatly liked the ideas contained in the preamble, there was no way he could put music
to
such a document. The task to write an appropriate poem, based on the theme of peace and ideals
enshrined
in the preamble, fell on W.H. Auden, then regarded as the greatest living English poet. When a
representative of the Secretary-General approached the poet, he immediately agreed to write the
poem. In
three days’ time, Auden finished writing “A Hymn to the United Nations”, which was then set to music
by
Casals.
On 24 October 1971, the Orchestra of the Festival Casals, with Casals as conductor, presented the
hymn
in a première performance at UN Headquarters.

The name comes from a poem, “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage”, written in 1818 by the British Romantic poet,
George Gordon, Lord Byron.
Byron’s poem contains the lines:
Millions of tongues record thee, and anew
Their children’s lips shall echo them, and say,
'Here, where the sword united nations drew,
Our countrymen were warring on that day !'
The story goes that Winston Churchill, a great lover of poetry, recited the lines to Franklin Roosevelt
and his granddaughter on a visit to Washington, D.C. in 1944. After, Byron’s more poetic “United
Nations” came to replace the originally proposed name “Associated Nations”
In the poem “Childe Harold”, among other themes, Byron was writing about all the bloodshed in the many
wars in Europe.
With this we are reminded that a great many (if not all) human creations start with poetic and artistic
vision. And with that thought we will conclude with another of Byron’s poetic lines:
“A drop of ink may make a million think.”
