Daleks in London was done for the vector imaging class I took winter quarter my sophomore year. I used my own photo of a random street in London and integrated the Doctor, the TARDIS, and four flying Daleks. I am a huge Doctor Who fan so I really loved getting to do this project. I also love incorporating my own photography in projects. I use my photos for backgrounds on all my devices and whenever I need an image of something if I have something that fits the situation.
This poster was also a vector imaging class project, but really it is an expression of myself. I had to do a project that utilized type in two different ways, so I used code. I would have to say that this poster is the best reuse of code I've ever seen.  Beyond that, I never want to be a code monkey. In fact, I don't consider myself a programmer - yes, I can code, but I don't like it that much. Sometimes it is tons of fun, but if it's back-end stuff, I'm not a fan. For example, I love working on this site, but I would hate building a game engine.
This poster was done for Basic Design I, a class I took winter quarter my sophomore year. This was my favorite project of the class, and my first successful Photoshop project. I chose London because it is my favority city of all those I have visited. Once again I used my own photography. The only image that isn't original is the phone booth in the top left corner. I really enjoyed playing with the composition and finding photos that fit the structure imposed by the photo of the Eye. I added filters to some img to give the entire poster the overcast look - mirroring cloudy London town. I chose a blackletter typeface because it reflects the rich history of England. All in all, it was a lot of fun - a redeeming project for the course.
This was my first real design project. For a junior in high school with no design experience, it could certianly have been a complete disaster. As it was, it was an improvement over the previous year's design which was the goal. Looking back now after taking a few design courses, I would change the main font to something less abnoxious - but of course no one cared as I was the most artistically inclined person on the team.
In explanation: WYSE is Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering, an international program, headquartered at the University of Illinois, offering the annual Academic Challenge competition, a summer camp and other programs. ICTM stands for Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics, which host an annual state-wide math competition. My high school sent a team to both competitions every year. I first went as a freshman and fell into a sort of "team leader" position junior year, when I told the coach I'd take care of the t-shirt, because his design was so lame the year before.
Creating this shirt was a lot of fun. I learned a little between doing this shirt and the first WYSE shirt. Still before any design courses and learning how to use Illustrator. The design was done in Microsoft Word, so I was rather limited in my options.
The design itself is based on the openning sequence from the show Numb3rs. My calculus class and most of the team were huge fans of the show.  Who doesn't love any show that teachers will play so they don't have to teach? ;P
This shirt was designed in conjunction with the team captain and my best friend, Abby Frideres. We met at my house and played with ideas while struggling with Adobe Photoshop Elements until we got something we liked. We knew we wanted it to be girly without being overboard.
Abby really wanted an argyle design, so we settled on the front having an argyle-esque design with golf clubs forming the X on the middle square. For the back, we knew we wanted a golf ball, the year, and all our teammates names. I liked the idea of having our names circling the golf ball. We also added the quote because it was one of our team sayings that year.
This is one example of when I really think the design turned out well, despite our lack of experience and training. Even now, I think we did a great job - even with font choices (something I'm usually extremely critical of these days). Edwardian script is very feminine and the sans-serif font is geometric so it plays nice with the golf ball acting as a zero. The only change I'd make now is to clean up the argyle to look more professional, less like it looks like it is a bunch of rectangles shoved together in MS Paint.
Mr. Boudro asked me to design a new shirt for the Alleman High School Game Club during my senior year. He liked the shirts I did for the WYSE/ICTM and Golf teams, and he was looking for a shirt that fully reflected the club. My only requirements were to make it for [Board]Game Club, not Chess Club (the name changed between shirt designs) and to not include the year so it could be used again in the future. We also had to include the school logo somewhere in order for it to be considered an official school t-shirt, approved by the administration.
My friend, Matt MacLennan, and I chugged away at this design for a few weeks. I did the entire front design myself. The back was his idea and he came up with most of the storylines because he was more familiar with the games we played. I then took the content and styled it. I had some fun with typefaces to make it more interesting. I tried to choose fun typefaces that reflected the plot of the game. The front colors were chosen based on card colors. The back switched red for Kelly Green because of the school logo. We were limited to 3 colors a side to keep the cost reasonable.
In August 2012, I created a new brochure for the Society of Software Engineers (SSE) @ RIT. The previous one was five+ years old and was sorely outdated in both information and design, so I took it upon myself as the Head of Public Relations to see to it that we had an updated, modern brochure to promote our organization. I had a lot of fun working on it. I learned a lot, as it was the first brochure I'd done in about 8 years and the first serious one I'd ever done (i.e. not for a grade school project).
While it was never used, here is a pdf copy of the state in which I handed it off. The final version looks completely different as it was redone after my hand-off. Please note that this is not an official SSE distribution.


Programming: a Creative Cognitive Process
Mapping creativity models to software development
8 October 2019 | 11 October 2019
creativity phdMy previous studies investigated which non-technical skills are currently being taught in software engineering education, and which are perceived as needed to excel in the industry. We found creativity to be one of the key skills that still seemed to be mostly ignored in higher education (at least in Computing). The term ‘creativity’ is highly subjective, contextual, and vaguely defined (or not at all), so connecting the dots proves to be quite a challenge.
Software development is creating a software product, line by line. Therefore, software development is seen as one of the most creative endeavors people can embark in. There are no restrictions on physical laws, only the boundaries of your own imagination. And of course processing speed, Amazon Cloud costs, the willingness of others to collaborate, and so forth. But the given flexibility of software engineering is unique compared to other engineering disciplines. In civil engineering, you do not refactor a bridge in a few days, or adjust the angle of suspension hooks in mere seconds after a failing test. Of course, the heavy emphasis on theory and prototyping should help in avoiding these kinds of mistakes, but the point is: we software developers love making them.
In fact, I think we are in love with failure.
If you cannot fail, you cannot learn. And since failure is so easy (and hopefully fixing mistakes is also easy!), developers should love learning. The fact that the software world is ever-evolving does not make things easier. Since we are ever-creating, even in operation modus, the question is: how does creating, or rather creativity, work - applied to the field of software engineering? There is a lot of research on creativity in the field of (cognitive) psychology, resulting in a plethora of theoretical models, of which a few are easily transferable across domains.
One of those models is Amabile’s Componential Model of Creativity0:
As deceptively simple as this looks, let us zoom in on each component and try to map these to the field of software development.
The Three Components of Creativity
a. Expertise Component
An ‘expert’ knows things a junior does not. By knowing, we are talking about several major parts:
- Technical knowledge, (
33%
) such as:- Programming Languages
- (Enterprise) Patterns
- Principles such as Unit Testing
- Tooling, IDEs, shortcuts, …
- Domain knowledge, such as:
- Product-specific functional information
- Diverse experience (combined with tech. knowledge,
18%
)
- Brilliance: general intelligence (
13%
) - Naivety: ‘fresh’/new to the problem at hand (
13%
)
Knowing what an Observer pattern is also implies you have the capability to apply it to a given problem. These expertise parts reside in the yellow image, typically not overlapping other components. To be able to speak the language, one has first to learn the language. To learn anything, a certain degree of intelligence is required.
b. Motivational Component
A lack of motivation can be devastating to your mood and your willingness to solve things in the first place. The motivational component contains several layers of philosophical and psychological roots, not limited to simply intrinsic VS extrinsic motivation. This component is not specific too software development and very hard to foster within others (typically it is not sufficient to waive with green paper containing dollar sings…). 40%
is related to self-motivation.
Motivation (and to a certain extend, the other components as well) is also influenced by an invisible component, namely environment. This could be the company culture you’re working in, the mood of your colleagues, or family and friends. 30%
is related to the qualities of the group you are in, while 17%
is related to social skills.
c. Creative Thinking Skills Component
This is the most interesting component in my opinion, and also the most severely lacking for a lot of developers. Even if your expertise component is full of technical information, it is not worth anything if you do not know how to combine these using techniques called ‘creative thinking skills’. These skills allow you to successfully combine your expertise to hopefully create something new and novel (the classic definition of creativity).
Typical creative skills are idea generation techniques such as brainstorming. However, according to Amabile1, this component contains 41%
personality (persistence, curiosity, energy), and 38%
special cognitive abilities (described as ‘special talents in problem solving’). Changing your personality is more challenging than learning ‘special talents’. A. Miller identified cognitive processes associated with creativity, of which these six are the most interesting to look at from our perspective 2:
1. Perspective Taking: Looking at a problem from different angles
A classic theoretical example is applying the first step in the computational thinking process by reducing concrete problems (e.g. four colors) into it’s abstract counterpart (bintrees, graphs).
A more concrete example could be the following. You are responsible for implementing the generation of certain documents, which employees need to sign (interact with). Since you are used to think in terms of employers, you create a ‘generate’ button for employers to click on, which will then send the documents to the employee. However, halfway through a colleague stops you and says ‘wait, let us look at the bigger picture here. Is this the right location for the button? Why not let employees pull the documents instead of pushing? We already have such a system, let us find out.’ You both get up and walk to the domain model poster to re-evaluate what should be done.
2. Imagery: Imagining potential solutions to explore the potential
For example, you are creating an API that will be used by other pieces of software within the company. You imagine it could be a simple HTTP POST. But as soon as you do that, you remember that hosting it will prove to be a challenge, and blocking unwanted calls or an overload of them will also cause problems. Then you imagine a service bus could work. Other endpoints could also hook into that. It would be easier to maintain.
3. Idea generation: Generate multiple solutions for a given problem
This one is quite straightforward. ‘Okay, we need to query the customer DB for unknown addresses, but the table is huge. What options do we have?’ Take out a pencil and write down everything you can come up with. Cache the results after a first run? Create an index? Or cache customer related info at bootstrap? Create a cleanup script to run nightly? … Of course you are drawing on your expertise component here!
The ‘five why’s’ could also fall within this category, generating different ideas and drilling down until you find the ‘root cause’ of the problem. It could also be part of no. 4.
4. Metaphorical/Analogical Thinking
Connecting the current problem with related ones:
‘So we need to create yet another GET service that queries our DB. Wait, haven’t we done this before?’ Taking a look at previous problems and trying to relate it to your current one can yield interesting results, such as reworking the previous one to better fit your current one, or simply using methods/services/… from another problem that you could not come up with on your own.
Over-familiarization is a well-known trap here. The adept you are at something, the less likely you will look at it differently and the more you will connect your problem with previously solved ones. In the end, everything will be done the same way, without experimenting with different approaches.
Use previously used solutions in a new way:
Suppose you’re really good at Java and you take on a new job as a C# developer. Congrats. Let’s create an enum
:
enum EmployeeDocumentState {
GENERATING,
GENERATED,
UPLOADED,
SIGNED,
REJECTED
}
Now let us write some domain-driven code. We need a CanEmployeeInteractWith()
method that, depending on certain states, decides if an employee can do things with the document. Whoops. No can do: an enum
in C# is essentially an int
, inherited from C. In Java, you can write methods on them. Static extensions to the rescue:
static class EmployeeDocumentStateExtensions {
public static bool CanEmployeeInteractWith(this EmployeeDocumentState state) {
// ...
}
}
var state = EmployeeDocumentState.SIGNED;
if(state.CanEmployeeInteractWith()) { // yes!
button.enable();
}
In essence, you are drawing on your Java knowledge to enhance your C# code. I wrote an article about this a few years ago. You could also enhance C struct
s with function pointers to emulate objects, as explained in this blog post.
Combining dissimilar concepts into a new idea:
Drawing from information from outside your own domain could also be useful and generate inventive solutions. In fact that is how Velcro got invented: by studying the abilities of insects to climb walls and ‘stick’ to material.
In Linguistic Creativity, creative patterns are hypothesized to be part of two categories: pattern-forming (following the rules of the language, creating interactions/repetitions) and pattern-reforming (breaking the rules and reshaping it into something new).
5. Incubation (letting ‘the idea ripen’ for a while)
Cognitive processes could be grouped into intuitive and deliberate processes. Intuitive processes will be very familiar with you. Taking a break from deciphering the problem, for instance, and going for a walk, or implicitly holding off on evaluating your own ideas. Good ideas are like good wine: the longer they ripe, the better they become.
But in the end, your boss expects you to implement that piece of functionality, not to wait for ages until it ‘gets better’…
6. Flow (automatic, effortless, state-of-mind)
During interviews conducted by A. Miller, people frequently mentioned that they ‘get ideas when relaxed’. What they are referring to is the state of flow in which everything seemingly is done without any effort. A lot of psychological research has been dedicated to this topic, and it is a bit less interesting compared to other cognitive processes because it is very hard to pinpoint - and because it’s a bit too far from my core research.
But what about Creative Problem Solving?
There is some confusion in literature regarding terms such as creative thinking, creative problem solving, and creative coding. To be honest, none of these fit well within the ‘creative thinking skills’ component, at least in my mind.
Creative Coding is an unfortunate term that has nothing to do with problem solving. What? Indeed. Creative coding is a recent phenomenon in which the emphasis is on artful creating, where expression is more relevant than solving things. You use code to express yourself, generating digital graphical ‘art’, using programming languages and tools such as ProcessingJS. Students following a creative coding course are encouraged to talk to people outside of their faculty and to experiment with different digital ‘materials’ (code, languages, visualizations). Creativity is also not assessed as such. It’s what would happen if Van Gogh would have access to the V8 engine.
It has yet to be investigated whether the teaching of artful creative coding will actually enhance practical creative skills.
Creative Computing (or Computational Creativity) aims to simulate creativity using Artificial Intelligence, rather than stimulating it within the humans that are doing all the programming work. It could require creativity to write algorithms that show ‘creative’ skills, but the emphasis is on the mechanical part of creativity. AI that creates music or art falls within this category.
Creative Problem Solving on the other hand does put emphasis on problem solving, but in an inventive way. That is, it uses a model to help you overcome a problem or invent a new product. It’s steps are Clarify (1), Ideate (2), Develop (3), and Implement (4). During each of these steps you will be needing different components of Amabile’s model. CDIO (Conceive, Develop, Implement, Operate) has the same approach. CDIO was invented at MIT to make engineering students more like real-life engineers.
Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a Russian problem-solving, analysis and forecasting framework derived from studying inventions. In my opinion, it has little to do with creativity, as you are instructed to follow a complex matrix based on previous inventions and patents, and it is very much geared towards physical engineering.
To Conclude…
People are not born creative. It takes a lot of hard work, on both the knowledge (expertise in area/domain, creativity skills) and personal skills (self-motivation, brilliance, personality) sides. But this does prove that creativity, however it is defined, is learnable (and thus hopefully also teachable). However, it is only relevant to teach/learn creativity within the context of the domain: creativity is domain-specific3. This is true for each part of the Componential model:
- Expertise is domain-specific by nature. Knowledge about bread baking and fermentation does not really help me solve problems in source code, and knowledge about design patterns does not help me bake a better bread. Baer even postulated that the question should not be “are you creative?” but rather “are you an expert?”3. I wonder whether this might mean that the expertise component has a bigger influence on creativity than the others.
- Motivation is domain-specific. My enthousiasm for weeding the garden and planting and harvesting onions does not really help me when my motivation for fixing a bug in software is low. Motivation is not transferrable.
- Creative Thinking Skills are domain-specific. Even if perspective-taking or imagery could be applied to all kinds of problems, some domains prefer some creative skills more than others. You also cannot learn ‘analogical thinking’ without giving domain-specific examples. When applying perspective-taking in bread baking, I might compare rye and wheat bread recipes, or try to combine those. The actions I take are entirely different than when looking at code in another way.
Yes, everything can be abstracted and generalised - but not without paying a price. And yes, polymaths can be experts (or creative? Is this suddenly the same thing?) in multiple domains, but that does not mean they are reusing the same motivation/expertise/skill.
Our ultimate intention is to enhance higher education with the teaching of concrete creativity skills while using programming to tackle a problem. For that the identification of these cognitive processes need to be fleshed out. It also begs the question: how can we evaluate these? I’ll have to let this idea mature for a while…

Re: Arduino Energy monitor outputs
Have a look here.
Re: Arduino Energy monitor outputs
The three middle values, for apparent power, rms voltage and rms current, seem to be reasonably consistent. But the first and last values, for real power and power factor, are very variable.
It may be helpful to repeat the test when using a resistive load. Any filament bulb should do; in the UK they are generally labelled as "dimmable". A resistive heater of at least 1 kW would be better because this will use more of the ADCs input range.
Re: Arduino Energy monitor outputs
RAE has just reminded me that there's an old thread on here with the title:
"EmonLib Problem on energy monitor
Submitted by drinu16 on Thu, 21/08/2014 - 18:36"
Have you forgotten that, Darren? You've still got the same problem a year later.
Re: Arduino Energy monitor outputs
Ahh, yes I totally forgot about that :) (thanks for reminding me) and I also forgot what results I had obtained a year ago.
I made a small pcb with the components of the voltage and current input, need to test it with higher current.

Designing a Matrix
Many of the guidelines that apply to designing any other type of wizard also apply to designing a matrix. Avoid unnecessary
complexity! You can add unlimited instructions, forms, feedback, evaluation, and other features to each cell of a matrix.
As a result, it's possible to make a matrix overly complex and difficult or burdensome to use. Remember this: You do not have
to use every element and feature at every opportunity. If something seems to have little or no value at any point, leave it
out.
To design a matrix, follow these steps:
- Analyze the activity or process that the matrix will support.
- Identify the rows and columns you will need.
- Identify the content needed (instructions, files, forms, etc.) for each cell of the matrix and for the matrix as a whole.
- Draw a diagram showing the organization of the matrix's components.
Do NOT omit this step: Because matrices are fairly complex and many aspects of them cannot be changed after publication, we strongly recommend that
you diagram the matrix and the contents of each cell before creating them in the Matrices tool.
- If you plan to attach files to provide information to users of the matrix, create those files and store them in Resources.
- Identify the points at which formative and summative feedback are needed. You may allow for feedback on the matrix as a whole
or cell by cell. Before making decisions in this regard, think carefully about the load placed on reviewers (those who provide
formative feedback) and evaluators (those who provide summative feedback). Also, keep in mind that after a cell or a matrix
has been submitted for evaluation, participants can no longer change it.
- Identify people to provide formative and summative feedback. Be sure they have appropriate permissions.
- If you plan to use forms in the matrix to provide structure for site participant work, reflection prompts, and review and
evaluation of work in the cells, store the .xsd files for those forms in Resources.
- In most cases, it is good practice to use a single style throughout a matrix. If you plan to use a style other than the default,
store the .css file for it in Resources and use the Styles tool to create the style.

A context-aware interface on Google Glass
for assisting people with Asperger's syndrome
This project focuses on adapting technology to a subset of the population with special needs—a subset of the population where technology has the most potential to impact positive change. Social Helper is an effort to transform the Google Glass platform into a dialogue-enhancing tool that enables people with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to lead more intuitive conversations for themselves.
VisionOur product is a context-sensitive interface on Google Glass to provide the user with short descriptions of current conversational topics so that the user can communicate more effectively. Using the microphone on Google Glass, the application listens to the user’s conversations in order to determine the topic and the tone of conversation using machine learning algorithms. The application also uses the camera on Google Glass to capture the facial expression of the other speaker and analyze using computer vision algorithms to provide clues to the user.
Current SolutionsCurrent autism social skills applications listed on the Autism Speaks website mainly work on mobile and tablet devices, which would not be as helpful when engaging in conversations with others.
There are currently very few social helper wearables for our user demographic. One product that has been developed is MIT’s artificial intelligence “social coach” that focuses on only tracking the conversational tone. While this is development is promising, we feel their product lacks the features such as facial expression recognition needed to enhance the quality of communication between people with ASD and others. In addition, with smartwatches, much attention is being diverted towards reading the results on the person’s wrist. Our product will be more direct since the visual cues will be displayed on the Google Glass, in the user’s line of vision.
The interactive prototype includes three user tasks. The third task is the core feature of our application—providing context-aware textural cues to users.
User task 1A user opens the app for the first time, sets up preferences and watches tutorial.
User task 2A user wants to receive assistance in monitoring their behavior in a conversation.
User task 3A user scrolls through lists of textural cues in order to further the conversation.
Based on user story: As a high-functioning adult with ASD, I want to receive cues about the topic of conversations so I can understand what the conversation is about.
Scenario: The user engages in a conversation where the conversation topic is difficult to determine.
The heuristic evaluations revealed that many of the heuristic violations in our prototype occurred in several key heuristic areas: user control and freedom, recognition over recall, aesthetic and minimalist design, error recognition and recovery, and help and documentation.
For example in conversation mode, the amount of textual and visual content on the screen is excessive. This problem violates the aesthetic and minimalist design heuristic which states that irrelevant or unnecessary information should not be included. Additionally, because of the nature of Google Glass, this amount of information is unreadable and can be a burden to the user instead of assisting.
We kept this in mind when we develop our final product. We then proceed on developing a Proof of Concept app on Android using Wit.ai:
However, after we developed our initial prototype on Android, we discovered that we were not able to work together for another semester. Our team was forced to split up due to schedule conflics and thus the project was sadily discontinued. But what we learned during this experience will always guide us in our future research on wearble computing.

simple script -> drag them into the correct order
a = 1 b = 2 c = a + b
careful! -> the parsonizer won't work if your first line is indented
a = 1 b = 2 c = a + b
a basic if/else -> drop the indented lines at the correct depth
if False: print('never') else: print('always')
nested if's -> drop the doubly indented line twice as far in
if False: print('never') else: if True: print('always')
for loop with return -> up the challenge by adding extra lines
for i range(10): i++ return i #distractor
programming challenges -> practice the logic without the errors

William Candillon from React Starter
William Candillon is a 31-year-old software engineer from France. He built React Native Starter Kits during a sabbatical and now has repos, writing, and videos centered on React Native development. William currently lives in beautiful Zürich, Switzerland.
You’re big into transparency. What are the benefits of being transparent?
In the case of the React Native Starter Kits, transparency as helped on two fronts. It enabled me to validate the product/market fit before investing a lot of work into the product. And once the product was ready, transparency has helped customers to get better insights about what they are buying, as well as better support.
From the get-go I shared my plans with the community. I built a landing page that contained screenshots of the finished product, even though not a single line of code was written yet. People could leave their email if they were interested in getting the kit once it was ready. This landing page was linked into my medium stories on React Native.
After that, when the product picked up momentum, I started to code the starter kits live on YouTube. Not only has it been an enjoyable process, but the feedback from the community has been great, and it really gives potential customers a sense of what they would be buying. It has also helped tremendously with customer support. Many questions can be answered by pointing to the right YouTube video.

On June 5th 2014, the Shame on Feinstein coalition delivered 2,000 signatures gathered from Californians to the Senator's staff. California is home to the Silicon Valley and to many of technological visionaries that built the Internet. Senator Feinstein has advocated for nothing less than the transformation of Internet into a tools for pervasive surveillance of Americans.

Senator Feinstein's term ends in 2018 and she is unlikely to run again. The Shame on Feinstein coalition will do anything in our power to ensure that the fake reforms bills she supports from FISA Improvements Act to the House version of USA Freedom Act do not become law.

Google has a technical writing course that I recently completed and highly enjoyed. It takes roughly 4 hours, and has some exercises along the way so you can test yourself.
I’m going to briefly explain what I learned from completing the course, and I’ll summarise the best bits so you can get a good overview of what’s covered.
We’ll go over some grammar rules and linguistics for the English language, but I’ll explain everything upfront so we’re all on the same page. The only thing you need to complete the course is a “little writing proficiency in English”, but “you don’t have to be a strong writer”.
Let’s dive in.
Let’s define some terms we are going to use throughout this document:
Clarity describes how clear your point is in your writing. Your number one priority in technical writing is clarity.
Whenever you use pronouns, make sure they are clear. It’s easy to get confused. Something like:
C++ is a pretty old language, but JavaScript is old too. I really like it though.
Huh? You like what? C++ or JavaScript? The pronouns used here don’t help the clarity.
Clarify pronouns usage like:
C++ is a pretty old language, but JavaScript is old too. I really like C++.
Generally, when proof reading, if it’s unclear to what you’re referring, use the noun instead of the pronoun. This or that are especially prone to this issue. Make sure whenever you use these words it’s clear what is being discussed.
Idioms are common phrases used to describe something. But some idioms mean nothing to an international audience. Because idioms are so specific to your region/language, try to avoid them in your technical writing.
No one understands what walking around the porridge, chewing the fat, or inflating a cow means intuitively. Just say exactly what you mean, and try to keep your analogies simple and idiom free.
Succinctness is how brief and clearly expressed your writing is.
Good software engineers spend as much time deleting code as writing it when polishing their work. It’s the same in writing. Shorter code generally:
All of these points also apply to your technical writing.
Sometimes polishing and saying what you want to say succinctly takes time, and you have to really craft the document. You might even end up proof reading multiple times – but it is worthwhile.
Shorter sentences also encourage readers to continue reading. How intimidating is one huge paragraph?
As you go through your writing, “there is” and “there are” can almost always be removed to more briefly express your point.
Both terms are generally very generic and bore readers. Rework the sentence. Here are some examples:
I hope you agree how much better these now read:
Adjectives and adverbs are used a lot in descriptive, creative writing like fiction and poetry.
Google’s example is turning “grass” into “verdant, prodigal grass” or turning the lifeless-sounding “hair” into “silky, flowing hair”
The trouble is that adverbs and adjectives are generally too loosely defined, and they can also make your technical writing sound like marketing.
Running the code in production mode makes the code run screamingly fast.
As opposed to:
Running the code in production mode will result in a 225% performance gain.
I hope you agree the second is more precise and quantifiable.
When you have a long sentence with lots of elements in it, you should split it up into a list. For example, if you’re listing the benefits of a particular technology, you could say, X is a great choice because:
While this is a simple example, you get the idea. This is now far more readable than an overly long sentence and you won’t lose readers or your flow.
If you do find a good place to use a list, it’s important to use the right list. You could use either a numbered list, like this:
Or you can use a bulleted list, like this:
So which one should you use?
Use a numbered list, where the order matters, like say a recipe. Try to start each number with a commanding verb to reinforce the step by step instructions of the list, too:
Bulleted lists work well for everything else.
Now you’re hopefully using the right lists! The next step to help you use lists to their maximum potential is to keep them parallel. What does that mean?
Your list items should all have the same:
Let’s provide a bad example:
All of the above rules have been broken. The item “chocolate chip cookies” doesn’t logically belong in the list, the capitalisation/casing of each element is different, and the punctuation isn’t consistently applied (It’s not clear why “JAVASCRIPT” ends in a “?”, and “Rust” with an “!”)
Sentences are generally made up of subject, object and verb. Let’s do a few as a test:
I wrote a story.
I am the subject, story is the object, and wrote is the verb.
I really admire Jake’s work
I am the subject, Jake is the object and admire is the verb.
All of the above examples use active voice because the subject does the verb to the object. So let’s flip those above examples to passive voice:
The story was written by me
Jake’s work has my admiration (or Jake’s work is admired by me)
You should use active voice because, in addition to being more powerful and direct:
Let’s look at how to maximise each component of a well crafted written piece.
Developers are familiar with keeping their code single responsibility. Keep the same formula in mind for sentences.
Express one idea clearly and briefly, before moving onto the next sentence. Don’t have lots of and also this and that too and even further splitting on our final sentence. If you end up doing that, split each text after the and into its own sentence.
Paragraphs should have a clear opening sentence to explain the paragraph’s central point.
You also should clearly answer:
Let’s have an example that does all the above:
The
garp()
function returns the delta between a dataset’s mean and median. Many people believe unquestioningly that a mean always holds the truth. However, a mean is easily influenced by a few very large or very small data points.Call
garp()
to help determine whether a few very large or very small data points are influencing the mean too much. A relatively smallgarp()
value suggests that the mean is more meaningful than when thegarp()
value is relatively high.
Jargon is the specialised terminology that a particular field uses.
Investors might talk about a W8-BEN form or SPACs. But if you’re outside that field, you have no clue what’s being discussed.
Where possible, remove all jargon and acronyms and briefly explain what something is.
Try to make your writing as plain and simple as possible, still giving due credit to the complexity of what you’re discussing (don’t oversimplify!). If your writing is difficult or complex to understand, it won’t help anyone.
Don’t assume knowledge either. If you want to talk about something, either explain it, or try to link to a good resource on it. Some refer to this as the Curse of Knowledge.

English is the dominant language for technical writing, but English is not always the first language of the reader. Try to stick to commonly used, simple English words.
You don’t have to discuss the exuberance you find from polysyllabic words, flaunting your magniloquence.
When you write something, briefly explain at the beginning what you’re going to cover. This can help people understand exactly what you’re discussing before reading more.
Try and fit your document to your audience. When you write on dev.to you may write one way, and when you write on freeCodeCamp News you might write another way.
Compose your document to best suit the audience. For example, if you’re explaining your company’s architecture to a wider audience, you will have to explain things more thoroughly as there’s less shared knowledge there than with your colleagues.
Sometime you may not even be writing for technical people, and you’ll need to explain things in a less-complex way to aid their understanding.
Let’s do a brief overview of what we covered:
I hope this article has explained some helpful concepts Google taught me when I completed their technical writing course.
I am going to try and pick and choose the relevant parts of their advice as and when it applies to the writing I do, and I hope it helps you too. I found quite a few helpful rules here for me to apply to documentation or any technical writing I produce.
The course I referred to throughout this article can be found here.

Crooked Island (together with Long Cay) forms the northwest part of this atoll system, which encloses the beautiful shallow waters of the Bight of Acklins. Crooked Island opens onto the Windward Passage, the dividing point between the Caribbean Sea and The Bahamas. Quiet and remote, the island's natural attributes are many, but with few resorces, self-sufficiency is essential. The weekly mail boat is the only regular contact with the outside world.
Cruisers report (January 2009) that excavation work has begun near the resort at Pittstown Point. So possibly a marina is in the planning and inevitably, things will change here in the future.
Position 22° 50'N, 074° 22'W (Pittstown)
There is a good anchorage at Pittstown Landing (22°50’N 074°22’W) and the resort here has free Wi-Fi.
The only dock is at Landrail Point, about 3.25 nm south of the Bird Rock lighthouse. Beware of underwater projections and avoid other traffic.
Please keep in mind that the Landrail Point area stretching from Landrail all around the north point to Gun Bluff is private property. This includes the beach. You are welcome to anchor but please do not anchor in somebody's backyard. The anchorage here has good holding but is rolly in almost any wind.


Odisha: Human skeleton, skull found in dustbin behind Bhubaneswar school building
The Nayapalli Police along with a scientific team rushed to the spot and sent the skeleton and the skull to the state forensic laboratory for a DNA test.
by Mohammad SuffianHIGHLIGHTS
- The skeleton remains were reportedly wrapped in polythene
- The remains were found by a BMC sweeper
- The locals informed the police
Panic gripped Nayapalli area on Friday after a human skull and a skeleton were found inside a dustbin behind a school building in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The skull and the skeleton remains, reportedly wrapped in polythene, were found when a BMC sweeper tried to separate the polythene from dustbins and transfer it to a garbage van of BMC.
The locals then informed the police about the discovery of a skull and a skeleton.
On being informed by the locals, the Nayapalli Police along with a scientific team rushed to the spot and sent the skeleton and the skull to the state forensic laboratory for a DNA test.
The investigation is underway in connection with the case.


This Week on npm v20181221<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Fixing GitHub Security Warnings
If you host Node.js projects on GitHub, odds are you've seen these emails:
And these alerts on your GitHub repos:
Unfortunately, fixing these alerts can be a pain because these alerts often packages that you don't depend on directly. For example, the mongoose-throw-unselected package had the below security vulnerability alerts:
But neither bson
nor minimatch
is in package.json
:
"devDependencies": {
"acquit": "1.0.0",
"acquit-ignore": "0.0.3",
"acquit-markdown": "0.1.0",
"istanbul": "0.4.2",
"mocha": "5.x",
"mongodb": "~2.2.9",
"mongoose": "5.x"
}
Figuring Out What Packages to Update
The security alert is due to the fact that<EMAIL_ADDRESS>depends on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>, which in turn depends on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>. The minimatch
vulnerability comes from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-><EMAIL_ADDRESS>-><EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
These vulnerabilities are DoS vulnerabilities (see bson, minimatch) in dev dependencies, so they are not exploitable. ReDoS vulnerabilities allow a malicious user to send a bad regular expression that grinds your server to a halt, but in the vulnerable code only runs when executing tests.
How do you figure out what packages you need to update to make these security alerts go away? There isn't any established tooling for this. We just use npm list
. Running the below command gives you a list.out
file with your entire dependency tree:
npm list > list.out
The list.out
file looks like this:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>├─┬<EMAIL_ADDRESS>│ ├──<EMAIL_ADDRESS>│ ├──<EMAIL_ADDRESS>│ └──<EMAIL_ADDRESS>├──<EMAIL_ADDRESS>├─┬<EMAIL_ADDRESS>│ └──<EMAIL_ADDRESS>├─┬<EMAIL_ADDRESS>You can then use vim or whichever text editor you prefer to find what top-level dependencies depend on compromised versions.
How do you find what packages you need to upgrade due to security vulnerabilities? Leave a note in the comments!

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Webpack keeps its changelog in GitHub tags. 4.28.0 is a small release in preparation for the upcoming Webpack 5 release.
Want to know why changelogs are so important? Here's the full GitHub diff between v4.28.0 and v4.27.1. 76 file changes and 1564 SLOC delta. This isn't very accessible to the casual observer.
The changelog makes this much easier to understand. This release's only
new feature is a new parameter to IgnorePlugin. Suppose you have two simple JS files, foo.js
and bar.js
:
const bar = require('./bar');
module.exports = 'bar';
The below script demonstrates the new parameter for IgnorePlugin
's checkResource()
function:
const webpack = require('webpack');
const plugin = new webpack.IgnorePlugin({
checkContext(context) {
return false;
},
checkResource(resource, context) {
// Before 4.28.0, `context` would be undefined
// In `>= 4.28.0`, `context` contains the current dir
console.log(resource, context);
return false;
}
});
const config = {
entry: ['./foo.js'],
plugins: [plugin]
};
webpack(config, (err, res) => {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
console.log('done');
});
The above script will print:
$ node test.js
./foo.js /home/workspace
./bar /home/workspace
done
Moving On
There were 67,747 new releases between December 14 and December 21. How many of those affect you? Check out JSReport for Slack and keep up to date with the JavaScript libraries you depend on.


Recent years, many AI laboratories are working on studying deep reinforcement learning (DRL) which is expected to be a core technology in the future. I am also engaging in DRL research. Here I will write my survey about the Human-level control throught deep reinforcement learning paper. It proposes a novel artificial agent, termed a deep Q-network, that can learn successful policies directly from high-dimensional sensory inputs using end-to-end reinforcement learning. I will post the most interesting parts of it and also, I will discuss/explain some concepts.
Agents are confronted with a difficult task: they must derive efficient representations of the environment from high-dimensional sensory inputs, and use these to generalize past experience to new situations.
Former evidenced by a wealth of neural data revealing notable parallels between the phasic signals emitted by dopaminergic neurons and temporal difference reinforcement learning. Thorndike, E. L. Animal Intelligence: Experimental studies (Macmillan, 1911)
A deep Q-network (DQN), is able to combine reinforcement learning with a class of artificial neural network known as deep neural networks, in which several layers of nodes are used to build up progressively more abstract representations of the data, have made it possible for artificial neural networks to learn concepts such as object categories directly from raw sensory data.
We consider tasks in which the agent interacts with an environment through a sequence of observations, actions and rewards. The goal of the agent is to select actions in a fashion that maximizes cumulative future reward. More formally, we use a deep convolutional neural network to approximate the optimal action-value function.
Reinforcement learning is known to be unstable or even to diverge when a nonlinear function approximator such as a neural network is used to represent the action-value.
They address these instabilities with a novel variant of Q-learning, which uses two key ideas.
- First, we used a biologically inspired mechanism termed experience that randomizes over the data, thereby removing correlations in the observation sequence and smoothing over changes in the data distribution
- Second, we used an iterative update that adjusts the action-values towards target values that are only periodically updated, thereby reducing correlations with the target.
While other stable methods exist for training neural networks in the reinforcement learning setting, such as neural fitted Q-iteration, they are too inefficient to be used successfully with large neural networks.
The method was able to train large neural networks using a reinforcement learning signal and stochastic gradient descent in a stable manner, illustrated by the temporal evolution of two indices of learning (the agent’s average score-per-episode and average predicted Q-values)
In certain games DQN is able to discover a relatively long-term strategy (for example, Breakout: the agent learns the optimal strategy, which is to first dig a tunnel around the side of the wall allowing the ball to be sent around the back to destroy a large number of blocks. Nevertheless, games demanding more temporally extended planning strategies still constitute a major challenge for all existing agents including DQN (for example, Montezuma’s Revenge).
A single architecture can successfully learn control policies in a range of different environments with only very minimal prior knowledge, receiving only the pixels and the game score as inputs.
The approach incorporates ‘end-to-end’ reinforcement learning that uses reward to continuously shape representations within the convolutional network towards salient features of the environment that facilitate value estimation. This principle draws on neurobiological evidence that reward signals during perceptual learning may influence the characteristics of representations within primate visual cortex. Law, C.-T. & Gold, J. I. Reinforcement learning can account for associative and perceptual learning on a visual decision task Sigala, N. & Logothetis, N. K. Visual categorization shapes feature selectivity in the primate temporal cortex
The successful integration of reinforcement learning with deep network architectures was critically dependent of the incorporation of a replay algorithm involving the storage and representation of recently experienced transitions.
They clipped all positive rewards at 1 and all negative rewards at -1, leaving 0 rewards unchanged. Clipping the rewards in this manner limits the scale of the error derivatives and makes it easier to use the same learning rate across multiple games. They used the RMSProp to perform the optimization process.
They also use a simple frame-skipping technique. More precisely, the agent sees and selects actions on every kth frame instead of every frame, and its last action is repeated on skipped frames. Because the agent only observes the current screen, the task is partially observed.
The agent selects and executes actions according to an e-greedy policy based on Q.
Algorithm
const Razorpay = require('razorpay');
let rzp = Razorpay({
key_id: 'KEY_ID',
secret: 'name'
});
// capture request
rzp.capture(payment_id, cost)
.then(function (data) {
return 2;
})

Thousands flock to Preston's Christmas lights switch-on
by Tony DurkinA crowd estimated at up to 8,000 thronged Preston's Flag Market area to signal the start of the Christmas season in dazzling style.
Soul legend Alexander O'Neal was among the stars as a feast of entertainment heralded the big switch-on of the city's festive lights.
Hundreds of thousands of super-bright LED lights will light up the city centre this Christmas and Mark Whittle from Preston BID, which funds the switch-on evening, reckoned Saturday's event was the biggest and best yet.
"The switch-on is the city’s biggest free family show and it just gets ever more popular," said Mark.
"People were queuing from anything up to five hours before the show started to ensure a good spot and we had as many in the Flag Market at the start this time as we have had at the end in some previous years.
"I would estimate there were more than 6,000 people here enjoying the show - what a great turnout.
"The weather co-operated and there was a lovely festive family atmosphere throughout - we couldn't have wished for better.
"Thanks to our partners and sponsors and to everyone who came along to help make it such a spectacular start to Christmas.”
O’Neal, whose hits include Criticise and If You Were Here Tonight, was joined on the bill by Boyz On Block, made up of leading members of some of the biggest boybands of the 90s and 00s - Dane Bowers (Another Level), Shane Lynch (Boyzone), Abz Love (Five) and Ben Ofoedu (Phats & Small) - along with Preston ska band Skaface, singer songwriter Harvey Brittain, and Chloe Rose, a singer, Tic Tok social media star and influencer with a substantial online following.
Preston's College dancers also performed, while for the younger members of the family, PJ Masks superheroes Catoy, Owlette and Gekko also took to the Flag Market stage.
Bill-toppers Boys On Block were joined by Father Christmas as they pulled the lever to light up the city centre, to the delight of the packed crowd, who were showered in tickertape.
Mary Mercer from Preston was in the audience with three generations of her family.
She said: "We come every year and we love it.
"The atmosphere is brilliant and it's great to see such top stars performing in Preston.
"It really feels like it's Christmas when the lights go on and we look forward to the switch-on all year.
"We always have a great time."

When you're learning new topics, subjects or skills, you'll be faced with problems along the way. Depending where you are in the learning process, the level of difficulties of the problems you're facing varies. Not all problems are hard to solve, sometimes it's only the matter getting familiar with how things work.
My experience stumbling across a simple problem was when I completed 95% of the code within a short time but spent almost an hour searching for the remaining 10% of the puzzle before the code can run the way it should. I had another problem and spent a long time for the solution. I had everything needed for the code to work except it's written in a wrong order.
The most recent problem I had was creating the simple game circle using JS. This was the trickiest so far. I mostly rely on google to find for best sollution to my problems. The chances are other people may have had similar problems and would recommended sollution. Phrasing a question properly is crucial for finding best possible sollution. I'm learning a lot through problem solving process. I realised there are many different ways you can write a code that does the same thing, some might be written bettern than the other.
I haven't done many of the Pseudocode before but I did it once for one of the challenges in this sprint. It worked perfectly, i'll be using this technique more in the future.
I found using google chrome debugging tool very useful. I can see how to code is running in action and it will tell me where the error is. Still need practicing on reading error messages.
I'm getting better at Console.logging code to find error or just to know the returning value of something
Googling is my number one problem solving technique
I posted my first question on the EDA code-help Slack channel today. I think it's a good start because you could even find the solution while drafting your question and things could suddenly make sense.


About
This demo showcases a reverse image search algorithm which performs 2D affine transformation-invariant partial image-matching in sublinear time. The algorithm compares an input image to its database of preprocessed images and determines if the input matches any image in the database. The database need not contain the original image as inputs can be matched to any 2D affine transformation of the original. This means that images which have been scaled (uniformly or non-uniformly), skewed, translated, cropped or rotated (or have undergone any combination of these transformations) can be identified as coming from the same source image (Figure 1).
The algorithm runs in sublinear time with respect to the number of images in the database regardless of the number of transformations applied. Note that if image-matching could not be done in sublinear time it would not function at the scale that the likes of Google or Microsoft require.
If the input is a composite of images or image fragments, the algorithm will return matches for each image/image fragment (Figure 2).
How it Works
All images in the database have been preprocessed in this manner to produce hashes for comparison.
How it Compares to the Competition
As you can see in Figure 4 below, the algorithm performs better than industry leaders in matching images which have undergone 2D affine transformations. Even the best-performing service, Google Image Search, fails to handle a simple 45 degree rotation.
Market leaders show limited ability to find matches of images which have undergone certain transformations. Our algorithm solves this problem for 2D affine transformations and, if used in conjunction with other modern techniques, offers a significant improvement in reverse-image searching.

I finally started a blog!
I first thought about starting a blog 3 years ago. I never went through it because:
The trick is to set aside a few hours and commit.
If you’re familiar with R, the only resource you need is Yihui Xie’s blogdown book.
Key tips that helped me publish this blog:
Find a blog theme you like from people you follow
Browsing through Hugo’s template collections was overwhelming. Instead, I went through the personal websites of rstats profiles I currently follow (e.g. Yihue Xie, Hadley Wickham, Andrew Heiss, David Robinson, Mara Averick). I settled on the Cocoa Enhanced theme on Julia Silge’s website.
Init Git and deploy through Netlify
Take the time to create a repo on Github and link your local files. Being able to push changes through Git and have it continuously deployed through Netlify is a huge time saver. If Netlify isn’t automatically deploying changes from your repo, be sure you created an environment variable HUGO_VERSION
with a version greater than or equal to 0.20. You can read more here.
Use the Serve Site add-in
The Serve Site add-in lets you preview edits you’ve made in the Viewer pane in Rstudio. I found this super helpful in helping guide any major changes to my blog.
You can find a well documented post on how to publish your own website using blogdown on Alison Hill’s website.

My name is Cheng-Jun Wang(aka 王成军/Frank), a Ph.D candidate in the department of media & communication, City University of Hong Kong. Currently, I am also a research member of web mining lab.
I received my master degree from Beijing University for my dissertation titled SNS as an invisible bridge: Chinese college students’ SNS use and social capital, and a Bachelor degree of online journalism from LanZhou University. You can find my CV here.
Primarily, I study how information diffuses online, e.g., my dissertation focuses on information diffusion on information sharing websites (ISWs, e.g. Digg, YouTube, Weibo & Twitter). Additionally, I am interested in statistics, network science, and agent-based models. I am currently working on modelling information diffusion in the perspective of threshold models. I document my thoughts and research in a blog and the github.


Stories are interesting! So are reviews and ratings!
We know reviews are always interesting and informative to determine the likeliness of indulging in activities and events that we are interested in. This is especially true in case of books. Before choosing our next read, we always go through ratings and reviews online, to see if the book would be of interest to us. But when the reviews are far too many, isn't it difficult to get an idea of how good the book is? This is the main reason we chose to visualize and make the task of analyzing book reviews and ratings in our storytelling task easier.
The three main aspects of visualizing any book are popularity of the book, reputation or popularity of the author, and the popular reviews.
Top 10 highly rated books
"To Kill a Mocking Bird" is found to be most popular book, going by the ratings it has got in total. The author of the book is Harper Lee. It was published in the year 1960. Another interesting fact from this visualization is that Anne Frank has been the author for two books in the top 10 most popular books.
Let's now look at popular authors, based on average ratings they got, for all the books under consideration. This is especially useful to determine if authors who wrote popular (highly rated) books are liked for their work in general. Or were there one time wonders? This is especially true, if an author X wrote a highly rated book, followed by a series of not-so-good books. His overall popularity would now be below average.
Popularity of Authors based on Average ratings over the total number of ratings they got
From this we see that Jeanine Heil is the most highly rated author, although she has been rated only once. While there are other authors like J.K. Rowling whose average rating is the highest at 4.4, with the most number of ratings in total. Ironically, Harper Lee, who wrote the most popular book, is behind many other authors like J.K. Rowling, Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkein in terms of overall popularity.
Considering the most popular author, J.K. Rowling, we can look at the word cloud of the reviews she has got as shown below.
A word cloud is a very informative visualization when it comes to texts and words. Most repeated words get a bigger space in the word cloud.
This was the story of popular books and authors that have been listed on GoodReads. Hope you liked the story as much as we did. Start reading today!

Complete SV Museum works on time, TTD EO tells officials
Singhal hopes project will enhance devotional quotient of pilgrims
by Special CorrespondentTTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal exhorted the officials to complete all the development works relating to Sri Venkateswara Museum at Tirumala on time.
Reviewing the progress of works at Annamaiah Bhavan on Monday, he urged the officials to expedite works and make it available to the pilgrims at the earliest.
The representatives of the Map Technologies, which is funding the prestigious ₹8 crore project, in a PowerPoint presentation explained to the authorities the proposed concept which will enhance the spiritual experience of the pilgrims. The ‘temple experience gallery’ as it is named is divided into six zones. The pilgrims can walk through the temple precincts, enjoy the rich experience of watching various sevas, freak around the town including the Pushkarini and its surroundings.
Mr. Singhal sounded optimistic that the project on completion is sure to enhance the devotional quotient of people during their pilgrimage.
