An Interview Icebreaker
Kicking off an interview can be hard. We all know what it’s like to be on the other end of the phone line or the other side of the desk waiting to be fed questions that might be designed to trip us up or check out how much we know about the esoteric and dark corners of our technology stack. Being in fear of this is not a good way to get a candidate to be comfortable and therefore to stand a good chance of performing somewhat near how they would on the job.
Telephone interviews are a common early screening technique and in my experience it’s an all too common scenario where interviewers cut-to-the-chase and launch into a series of gnarly questions which often do little to either prepare you for the job in question, or they hope to filter you out as quickly as possible so they can get back to their day job.
This kind of approach has always bugged me and so over the last few years I have been trying to find better ways to ease potential candidates into the interview process so that hopefully they’re more comfortable and eager to chat about what makes them tick. One such icebreaker that I’ve developed has turned out to be quite useful, not least because what started out purely as a bit of fun has on occasion provided some interesting insights that became useful with candidates later in the overall process.
The basic premise of the icebreaker is to present the candidate with a number of somewhat silly and seemingly pointless comparisons and ask them to (arbitrarily) choose one. Even in just a few minutes it’s quite easy to rattle through a couple of dozen, which, if chosen reasonably well should bring a smile to candidate’s face and maybe even a “knowing glance” or a slightly quizzical “hmmm”.
The outcome is largely intended to get the candidate talking comfortably and therefore I usually take a fair bit of effort to convince them that this is all just a bit of harmless fun, and that the answers are by-and-large utterly meaningless. Some candidates are a little more suspicious than others and so I always make sure I start with the more trivial questions to make sure they quickly get the hang of it and realise I’m not going to suddenly ask them to estimate the number of lampposts in Liverpool or the inner workings of a modern garbage collector. (I also steer clear of the obvious choices such as whitespace characters or text editors.)
Hence my opening few questions generally go like this:
As you can see there is clearly no right or wrong answer, they are purely a matter of opinion (unless it involves Internet Explorer or Visual SourceSafe). Some candidates might initially try to give you some justification, e.g. why Bing is so much better these days, and therefore you may have to remind them that it’s really just a bit of fun. Consequently I have a number of very silly comparisons that I like to throw in if I feel something even more light-hearted would help with the defrosting process, for example:
· Daily stand-up or daily sit-down?
· No SQL or no transactions?
· Jira or Post-It notes?
· BDD or TDD?
My original intention was to throw some less random, but perhaps also still apparently arbitrary choices in just to see what the reaction was. I was a little concerned that if I picked a specific technology or process that was in use on the actual project then candidates might feel obliged to answer with that choice or they might feel I’m trying to catch them out in some way. Hence these were some of the slightly less arbitrary choices that I initially began to mix in:
· Whiteboard or pen & paper?
· Scrum or Kanban?
· NUnit or MSTest?
· Mock or stub?
· SOAP or REST?
While this was still mostly a bit of fun I wanted to see if I could come up with some more coding specific choices that I could weave in later on that might give a suitable candidate something a little more meaty to chew on. I realised that this was potentially moving away from my original goal but given the way candidates had been responding to the exercise it felt like it was worth a punt. These were some of the choices I began to add (mostly for C# senior developer roles):
These were all pretty well received although naturally some candidates had to be reassured occasionally that the answer to every single question was really “it depends”.
I always liked to finish off with a couple of silly ones just to make sure we ended the exercise on the right note. I would also check their “temperature” by asking them if they enjoyed the exercise and whether they felt “warmed-up” and ready for something a little more “deep”. (The rest of the telephone interviews were longer questions aimed at exploring how they solved particular kinds of problems, e.g. parallel data loads, cache construction, monitoring, etc.)
When I started out this was intended to just be an icebreaker, I never for a moment believed that anyone’s preference for Bing over Google, or watching tutorial videos instead of reading books was going to be an indication of a programmer who would be unsuitable for a role. And I still don’t. However, perhaps unsurprisingly, as the set of questions grew some minor tell-tale signs did appear, which, by themselves, were not something you’d make a hiring decision on but maybe did indicate areas that you might want to focus on in the rest of the interview if there were no other pressing concerns.
For example, terminology was one aspect that came up a few times. While someone starting out their career in programming might not have been introduced to terms like “tuples” (however you choose to pronounce it) or “feature toggles” I am more surprised when a senior-level programmer is unaware of them. And, while they should be able to pick up new concepts relatively quickly, if it forms a significant part of the role then that is something I’d like to double-check sooner rather than later. On the plus side having a candidate admit up-front they don’t know something is a good sign which should be appreciated. Hence, in response to this I started throwing in the “lambda or closure?” near the end just to see what the response was.
Some of the more subtle clues I managed to pick-up on were around the combination of choices. In a number of cases the follow-up interview was a programming exercise – just a simple kata. Solving the kata in the short interview timeframe was never really the goal, but seeing how they approached it and responded to questions about their approach, was. For example in one case a candidate who had chosen “abstract base class” over “interface” and “inheritance” over “composition” showed the hallmarks of a C# programmer still thinking like a 90’s C++ programmer, in the sense that the design was classic Gang of Four rather than more idiomatic C#. After that discovery I made a note to try out biasing my follow-up questions slightly to explore class design in preference to other topics. (This was not the only characteristic which made that particular candidate unsuitable for that specific role but it did highlight how important writing code can be in an interview process.)
On a similar note I began to use a candidate’s preference for ToList(), the object initializer syntax, etc. as a cue to discuss mutability concerns. In the intervening years I’ve started to throw in a few other classic trade-offs such as returns codes and exceptions, null references and options, and primitive types versus domain types partly for variety but also to see what reactions it provokes or smells it might give off.
Since I started using this icebreaker a few years ago I’ve never dismissed a candidate purely because I didn’t like the choices they made. On the contrary I’m well aware that “one size never fits all” and diversity is to be embraced and therefore it’s only been used as a line of conversation to explore the forces that drive their choice and, more importantly, to see whether they are conscious ones or not.
It’s almost certainly an unconventional technique, at least by normal enterprise recruiting standards, and therefore it has the potential to have the opposite effect and make some candidates more nervous, not less. Not everyone is happy in an interview to just say the first thing that comes into their head and so I have been careful to gauge their opening responses to see if it’s working against me. Apart from one candidate that proceeded to launch into a lengthy explanation on the very first question to justify their choice, I’m not aware of anyone else that’s not got the hang of it pretty quickly.
Feedback from candidates appears to be favourable, mostly from the novelty angle. The fact that recruitment agents have mentioned it seems to back that up. The reason I find that feedback pleasing is that we have to remember interviews are a two-way street – the candidate is interviewing us as much as we are interviewing them. Asking the same boilerplate questions does little to help sell your position to them, whereas putting a little more effort into the process might help compensate for a less stellar job spec. In my experience working with interesting people rates pretty highly on the job satisfaction scorecard and so I’ll try whatever tricks I can to try and lure those candidates in. I wouldn’t want them to turn the job down prematurely because the interview process was uninspiring.
Interviewing for a new job is always a daunting prospect, especially when you’re a bit rusty. Acknowledging that and factoring it into your interview process should help you make the most of those precious few minutes you get with each candidate. This icebreaker is intended to inject a little light-hearted humour into a traditionally stale process and, maybe, at the same also provide a rapid-fire technique for triangulating on further points of discussion. If nothing else you’ll have a bit of fun coming up with a list of amusing choices.

| Introduction |
|
colibri is a free RTOS-subset released under a BSD-style license.
The goal is to create a useful RTOS with support for a wide range of hardware
platforms, from low-end microcontrollers to more advanced 32-bit processors.
colibri is written in C and assembly.
System designers using colibri will get access to an API with several
RTOS components such as a scheduler, semaphores and different libraries.
Use of these components leads to shortened development time and less bugs.
Focus could be put on the real application instead of reinventing the wheel.
colibri is not a Linux-killer. Put Linux or BSD in advanced embedded
systems using 32-bit processors with MMU. Use uClinux on your 32-bit
processor without MMU. Use eCos or RTEMS if you need a 32-bit RTOS.
But if you have a cost-effective hardware platform with limited resources - use colibri!

| Philosophy |
| Keep it simple |
- |
Simple code means less bugs. |
| Keep it portable |
- |
At least 90% of the code is written in C. |
| Keep it compact |
- |
Code redundancy is kept as low as possible. |
| Keep it standard |
- |
If possible, we use simple standard API:s. |
| Keep it maintainable |

| License |
|
colibri is Open Source software, and is released under a non-restrictive
BSD-style license. This basically means that you are free to do what ever you
want with the code as long as you keep the copyright intact. See the source code for the full license. Our goal is that it should be legally easy to use
colibri. No hassle.
We encourage our users to give feedback and report bugs to help us
improve the code. Only this will lead to stable code, so help us out!
|
| Status |
|
Version 0.1.1 has a reentrant scheduler, timer functions, advanced semaphores
(enhanced POSIX style), interrupt handling code, some h8 uart code and
a small collection of generic data types.
Future work will be focused on a compact driver model based on generic FIFO:s.
Then documentation, CompactFlash, DOS-fs, uIP/lwIP, TFTP, DHCP...
|
| Hardware |
|
colibri currently runs on two hardware platforms; the Lego RCX brick (16-bit
h8/3297), and a hms evb h8s/2633f (32-bit h8s/2633f).
|
| Compilers |
|
Makefiles are currently limited to a *nix based Cross-GCC toolchain.
Future improvements could include support for commercial compilers
or other free compilers for small devices, such as SDCC and cc65.
Instructions how to setup a h8-compiler could be found at
here.
No external c-library should be required to compile colibri.

Last week (and Tuesday this week), my friend Carlos and I did a small BizTalk Server 2006 Clinic at one of our clients. I think it went pretty well overall. All the people that attended the clinic were very receptive and seemed really excited about the power of BizTalk and its capabilities.
I think one key aspect that helped a lot was that most of them already had experience in EAI projects, Web Services and XML/XSLT, and some of them had experience with their previous integration platform (TIBCO), so it was a lot easier to get things going in the right direction than when starting out with developers just getting into the integration space.

Art comes from the heart, so create to your heart's content.

Use References
Some people may think that using references is cheating, when really that's not the case.  You're not born knowing how to draw everything after all. However, you'll want to use multiple references in order to avoid plagarism, especially for a finished piece.
24 JUNE, 2020
Keep a Sketchbook
Keeping a sketchbook is really useful when you want to practice drawing certain things and you want to keep the art in one place. Also, it's important to look back at old sketchbooks to see how much you've improved (no matter how embarrassing it may be).
24 JUNE, 2020
Limit Your Color Palette
Limiting your palette makes the piece feel more cohesive as a whole. But if you do want to use more colors, make sure they work together. Change the values and hues of the colors so that they work together.
16 AUG, 2020
Sketch in Ballpoint Pen
For a long time, I didn't know that artists did this, but sketching in a ballpoint pen has many benefits. Because you can't erase, doing this activity will help you be more mindful with your strokes, and so it'll help you learn faster.
16 AUG, 2020
Expensive Art Supplies Don't Make Your Art Better
The skills that you develop are more important than what you draw with. There are people out there that make amazing art with cheap supplies or a limited amount of them, so focus on developing your skills as well as figuring out which supplies you want to use long term.
24 JUNE, 2020
Have Fun
Just have fun with your artwork and experiment. You'll become a great artist eventually!

Photo shows incredible fossil discovered in Exeter
Richard Dalton, MD at UK Remediation, ended giving the wonderful discovery to his 11-year-old son
by Howard LloydThis photo shows the remarkable fossil found at a soil treatment facility in Exeter.
Richard Dalton, managing director at UK Remediation Ltd, made the remarkable find at the Pinbrook Road Recycling Centre.
The company specialises in checking soil for contamination and removing it from certain areas.
Richard said they were used to finding interesting items - including rings, old coins and even toy cars.
But he admitted this fossil in particular stood out - so much so that he gave it to his 11-year-old son, Eban.
"Impressive fossil found at our Exeter Soil Treatment Facility #fossilfriday #geology #soil #remediation #exeter," read their tweet revealing the discvoery.
"We have a treatment centre where we bring in contaminated soil and we get all sorts of interesting stuff - toy cars, money, rings – those sorts of things old glass bottles etc," Richard explained.
"We found a bomb once but someone then came in and said it was a shell and not live.
"The fossil was great though. I ended up giving it to my son, Eban."
UK Remediation are currently involved in the construction of the new bus station, where an old Roman fort was recently discovered.
They are also working at sites by St Davids Station and Exeter City's St James' Park stadium, although Richard said that they are yet to make any weird or wonderful discoveries at those sites as yet.

Uniform manifold approximation and projection is a technique for dimension reduction. The algorithm was described by McInnes and Healy (2018) in <arXiv:1802.03426>. This package provides an interface for two implementations. One is written from scratch, including components for nearest-neighbor search and for embedding. The second implementation is a wrapper for 'python' package 'umap-learn' (requires separate installation, see vignette for more details).

US S&P 500 Stock Index Soars to Record High After Upbeat October Jobs Report
NEW YORK (Sputnik) - US stocks in the S&P 500 index rose to record highs on Friday after jobs growth for October in the world’s largest economy exceeded expectations by as much as 70 per cent.
Earlier, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the US economy added 128,000 new jobs in October.
The S&P500 index of top 500 US stocks was up 0.8% at 3,061.70 by 10:53 a.m. EST (14:53 GMT), after hitting a record high at 3,064.29.
The broader Dow Jones Industrial Average index was up 0.9% at 27,301.62.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq index was also up 0.9% at 8,364.64.
The number of jobs added in October far exceeded market expectations for a 75,000 increase, CNBC reported.
Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia said in a statement that the US unemployment rate remained near a 50-year low, with October marking the 12th straight month where the jobless rate has been at or below 4 per cent.


Stadia causing Chromecast Ultra devices to overheat and shutdown claim users
There’s even more bad news for Google’s Stadia service, with reports that the device needed to make it work on a TV is overheating.
It’s not exactly been a smooth launch for Stadia so far, not so much because of any technical problems but simply a lack of interest and a lot of missing features.
But it seems there may be a serious issue after all, as a number of users on Reddit are beginning to complain about the Chromecast Ultra media player dongle – which is needed to make Stadia work on a TV – overheating.
In the worst cases this is allegedly leading to it shutting down, which apparently is a safety feature to ensure the Chromecast doesn’t burn out any internal components.
That’s all very well but it also means people are having their play time limited to a few hours, and in some cases no more than 10 minutes.
Advertisement Advertisement
Although it could be a bad batch it’s not thought to be an intrinsic problem with the Chromecast Ultra, as they existed before Stadia and are often used as more general media players.
It also doesn’t seem to make much sense given the whole point of streaming is that no processing is going on locally, so it’s not like a console that might get noisy or hot during a high-end game.
Google have responded to the issue on Reddit but not only claim that the overheating isn’t a problem but deny that it’s causing shutdowns, which seems a bit pointless in a thread about shutdowns.
We can’t say we noticed anything while playing it, but then we’ve been using a smartphone most of the time.
It’s presumably to do with the high amount of data going backwards and forwards, which would be much more for a game than a movie, and it may mean Google have to redesign the Chromecast in the future.

Double "0" Behave Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
By Ross Anthony
Tired of the sophomoric humor Virgin Inc. has been pumping into their Austin Powers/ Virgin Airlines radio ads, I expected the same from this film. Fortunately, my fears of a buck-toothed drooling grin ra-ta-tatting juvenile "Shag-isms" the entire length of a feature film were ill-conceived. Now, that doesn't mean that Austin Powers is my hero or that he refrained completely from driving his "Shaguar." It does mean that I didn't hate the picture. In fact, "The Spy Who Shagged Me" is a strong "B" film for any adult with an open-minded funny bone and probably a laugh-a-minute-riot cult film for high school freshmen.
If you haven't figured it out yet ... "Shag" is euphemistic British slang for making love. The writers miss no opportunity for making copulation puns, going so far as fastening two large spheres (fuel tanks?) to the base of Dr. Evil's Rocket Ship. Get the point?
Austin Powers (Mike Myers) is a James Bond spoof frozen in '69 and thawed out in the nineties. In this episode, he must again stop the sinister dolt, Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers) from destroying the planet. Dr. Evil, planning to zap Washington D.C. with a "laser" based on the moon, fears foiling from agent Powers.  The Mojo-less Powers whimpers, "I used to be so virile, now I'm nothing."
Like "Laugh in" or "Hee-Haw" almost charming in its relentless silliness, "Shagged" sports 2 or 3 genuinely hilarious sequences which bump it up from a "B" to a "B+." First, a tent-shadow scene in which lover, Felicity Shagwell, appears to be emptying Powers' bowels of everything from explosives to a sporting equipment. Secondly, there's a stream of quick cuts connecting the sentences of unrelated characters trying to find just the right word to describe the phallic image of Dr. Evil's Rocket in the sky. Al so, you'll no doubt enjoy the cameos of good-humored celeb's.
 Overall, actor Mike Myers did an absolutely smashing job with this light-weight script while playing three roles to boot. Lastly, great costuming and makeup on his third character deserve mention as do the props far exceeding those of Dr. Who. (Btw, If you stay till the end of the credits, there's a little something -- a very little something.)
Starring Mike Myers and Heather Graham. Directed by Jay Roach. Written by Mike Myers and Michael McCullers. Produced by Suzanne Todd, Jennifer Todd, Demi Moore, and Eric McLeod at Newline/Eric's Boy/Moving Pictures/Team Todd.

Voice interfaces
Current voice interfaces are horrible. They try to imitate intelligence and fail so badly that they make computers even more frustrating to use. Most people have no idea how to use things like Siri. They ask it perfectly reasonable questions like, “Who invented the lightbulb?” and it responds with junk from Google. The answer to that particular question is not straightforward–at least three people, independently, invented different types of light bulbs–and computers are really bad at deciphering and communicating absolute answers from complex information like that. Because they are still so frustratingly limited, Siri and Google Now are simply not yet ready to exist. They are not artificially intelligent by any stretch of the imagination.
That being said, current voice recognition technology is incredibly good at certain things. It’s great at detecting and transcribing words, listening for specific commands, and making matches against expected inputs. So why does literally no software take advantage of voice technology in the way it works best? For example it boggles my mind that I cannot do the following things:
- When I’m inputting my home address in a web browser (on mobile or desktop), I should be able to tap the “State” dropdown and just say “California” and it have it select that option for me.
- When I highlight the browser address bar, I should be able to just say “The Economist” and have it automatically find the address in my favorites and go there.
- When I open to the home screen on my phone, I should be able to just say “Instagram” and have that app open.
- On iOS, when I get a notification that covers the top of the screen, I should be able to just say “ignore” and have the notification instantly disappear.
- When I click the “To” field in a mail app or in Gmail, I should be able to just say a person’s name and have it fill in automatically (and maybe show me a dropdown to select which email address to send to).
All of these possible cases have one important thing in common–something specific has to happen before the voice control works. I have to tap a dropdown and then say “California”. I have to have just received a text message to say “ignore” and it have it disappear. The reason current voice interfaces suck is because they force the speaker to consciously enter a “voice” mode and then create context around the action they want the computer to perform. This makes no sense; the computer should just always be listening for potential commands within the context of whatever the user is doing. Siri has no context, which makes it very difficult for the computer to accurately predict what the user whats to do. It also makes it very difficult for a user to know when using Siri would be helpful. But within specific context, there are only a few possibilities, which makes it far easier to use and much easier for a developer to build.
In general, voice interfaces would work great for things that are easy to vocally describe but hard to do on input devices like touch screens, keyboards, and mice. Like selecting “California” from a dropdown list. Or paging through icons to find an app to open. I only listed five possible use cases above, but I think they would dramatically improve the computing experience. Imagine what other things could be done.

Technology Problems in the Classroom
23 November 2014
Who would have thought that in an era with smart tv's, smart phones and smart watches that we would be left with a bunch of dumb kids. Ok, that might be a little harsh, but there may be some truth behind that exaggeration. Education has a double edged sword of technology: if you don't teach the kids how to use it, they will never make it in today's society. If you try to teach it to them, they look up cat videos on YouTube. There are a few problems with incorporating technology into the classroom. You may not know much about it, but ask any teacher and they will tell you that getting kids to turn off cell phones or put away electronic devices is just common in today's academic field. While I imagine that whipping out a tablet would make you a very popular person, doing it in a learning environment is distracting and takes time out of learning.
I was a prime example back in college. I used my laptop in class to take notes.  The sad thing here is that this wasn't just a discration for me I'm sure. Other people who were trying to listen probably got distracted by the bright beacon of my laptop screen at some point and maybe even wondered too if I would win that next ebay auction. If a 20-something can get distracted in an education environment, imagine how the elemenary kids are.
Another argument for issues with technology are that it provides a shortcut to learning and avoids critical thinking. It is unbelievable how many answers you can get off the internet. It is a great resource for those who want to learn a new hobby, do repairs on their house or...well anything. Unfortunately, technology can also hinder the process of learning by doing the same thing. All of this information is availble for students to copy and paste without actually understanding the concepts.
I'm not here to say that technology is bad and ruining kids lives. I don't have any solutions for this problem because kids get distracted with non-technology related things too. We need technology in the classroom as much as the classroom needs technology. The next generations need exposure to technology at an early age and they need to know how it works. They need to get excited about it and get educated about it. But they shouldn't be dependant on it and they shouldn't let it get in the way of learning.

Wish I could Pee
- Platform: HTC Vive
- Time: 4 minutes
- Team size: 5
- Role: Game Programmer, Designer
- Project Session Time: 2 Weeks
Wish I could Pee is a VR game on HTC Vive platform. In the game, the player plays the role of a godmother who expels all the horrible monsters in a boy's room so the boy could have enough coueage to go to the bathroom. It is developed by a team of 5 people (including 2 programmers) among 2 weeks. All the members of the team did the designs together.
The most impressive moment in our development is when I found how great immersion our game had achieved. Players screamed and retreated in front of monsters, and they did try hard to protect the boy from them. I found that VR environments largely amplified emotional stimulations in the game. A lot of players tried to comfort the boy or led the boy to a safer place while player. Even after they found they couldn't interact with the boy directly, some of them still stoked the boy's head as a real godmother was comforting a terrified boy.
We also met challenges in the development. The largest one, I would say, is about our major design. At first we wanted to make the player be the bright part of the boy (while monsters were actually the dark part of the boy), which was not revealed until the ending. But our world seems too small to support it. Players were so confused that they didn't feel immersion while playing. We discussed for a few days about how to make the story both intuitive and attractive. Finally we decided to make the player a godmother (while monsters are real monsters in the magic background), which has been proven to be a good idea.
Wish I could Pee is the second game I made by Unity. It was challenging to me, but the more challenging it was, the more I could learn from the experience. Excluding other small functions (like interactions with curtains and viberation of the closet) which made me gradually framiliar with the usages of Unity, I majorly wrote the function which drove monsters. The monsters will spread after being found by the player, then move toward the boy. After the player casting spells on them by taping them with her wand, the monsters were turned into warm lights, floating toward the ceiling and becoming sparkling stars, which will make the whole room brighter. It turned out to be a successful detail. Everytime the player followed the floating lights and saw the stars lit, he was amazed to say "Wow".

Jeremy Miado scores spectacular jumping knee knockout at ONE Championship: Age of Dragons
by Peter CarrollJeremy Miado brought his flyweight clash with Li Tao Miao to dramatic conclusion when he landed a devastating jumping knee that stopped the Chinese fighter dead in his tracks.
The bout started at a high pace with Miado coming close to claiming the finish via submission after he latched onto an arm during a scramble in the early throes of the contest.
Once back on the feet, Miado seemed far more composed as Miao charged in and attempted to landed heavy shots. As the Chinese fighter looked to close the distance to land a left hook, “The Jaguar” exploded up from the canvas and landed a knee flush on Miao’s chin that separated him from his senses on contact.
The win sees the Filipino Miado get back into the win column following a second-round stoppage defeat back in February. All three of Miado’s victories have come by way of stoppage under the ONE Championship banner.

Contains different ways of analyzing the final incumbent and the performance of the algorithm's default parameter configuration.
If the run-objective is 'runtime': PAR stands for Penalized Average Runtime. If there is a timeout in the scenario, runs that were thus cut off can be penalized with a factor (because we do not know how long it would have run). PAR1 is no penalty, PAR10 will count all cutoffs with a factor of 10. For timeouts: if there are multiple runs on the same configuration-instance pair (with different seeds), some resulting in timeouts and some not, the majority decides here. P-value (between 0 and 1) results from comparing default and incumbent using a paired permutation test with 10000 iterations (permuting instances) and tests against the null-hypothesis that the mean of performance between default and incumbent is equal. Oracle performance searches for the best single run per instance (so the best seed/configuration-pair that was seen) and aggregates over them.
| Train | Test | p-value | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default | Incumbent | Oracle | Default | Incumbent | Oracle | ||
| PAR10 | 0.007 | 0.022 | 0.006 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.01440 |

Depicts cost distributions over the set of instances. Since these are empirical distributions, the plots show step functions. These plots provide insights into how well configurations perform up to a certain threshold. For runtime scenarios this shows the probability of solving all instances from the set in a given timeframe. On the left side the training-data is scattered, on the right side the test-data is scattered.
Scatter plots show the costs of the default and optimized parameter configuration on each instance. Since this looses detailed information about the individual cost on each instance by looking at aggregated cost values in tables, scatter plots provide a more detailed picture. They provide insights whether overall performance improvements can be explained only by some outliers or whether they are due to improvements on the entire instance set. On the left side the training-data is scattered, on the right side the test-data is scattered.
The instance features are projected into a two/three dimensional space using principal component analysis (PCA) and the footprint of each algorithm is plotted, i.e., on which instances the default or the optimized configuration performs well. In contrast to the other analysis methods in this section, these plots allow insights into which of the two configurations performs well on specific types or clusters of instances. Inspired by Smith-Miles.
Parameter Importance analysis to determine which of the parameters most influence the analysed algorithms performance.
Parameters are initially sorted by pimp_sort_table_by. Only parameters with an importance greater than 5 in any of the methods are shown. Note, that the values of the used methods are not directly comparable. For more information on the metrics, see respective tooltips.
fANOVA (functional analysis of variance) computes the fraction of the variance in the cost space explained by changing a parameter by marginalizing over all other parameters, for each parameter (or for pairs of parameters). Parameters with high importance scores will have a large impact on the performance. To this end, a random forest is trained as an empirical performance model on the available empirical data from the available runhistories.

Ablation Analysis is a method to determine parameter importance by comparing two parameter configurations, typically the default and the optimized configuration. It uses a greedy forward search to determine the order of flipping the parameter settings from default configuration to incumbent such that in each step the cost is maximally decreased.
Forward Selection is a generic method to obtain a subset of parameters to achieve the same prediction error as with the full parameter set. Each parameter is scored by how much the out-of-bag-error of an empirical performance model based on a random forest is decreased.
Using an empirical performance model, performance changes of a configuration along each parameter are calculated. To quantify the importance of a parameter value, the variance of all cost values by changing that parameter are predicted and then the fraction of all variances is computed. This analysis is inspired by the human behaviour to look for improvements in the neighborhood of individual parameters of a configuration.
Analysis of the instance features to gain insights into the instance set that was used during the optimization.
Reduction of the out-of-the-bag root mean squared error of the random forest empirical performance model by applying forward selection on the set of instance features. Using this method, we can identify a set of instance features that suffices to obtain prediction accuracy comparable to using the full set of features.
| Error | |
|---|---|
| None | 1.048822 |
| nvars | 0.356421 |
| nclauses | 0.325470 |
| nclausesOrig | 0.321593 |
Box and Violin Plots show the distribution of each feature value across the instances. Box plots show the quantiles of the distribution and violin plots show the approximated probability density of the feature values. Such plots are useful to inspect the instances and to detect characteristics of the instances. For example, if the distributions have two or more modes, it could indicate that the instance set is heterogeneous which could cause problems in combination with racing strategies configurators typically use. NaN values are removed from the data.
Correlation of features based on the Pearson product-moment correlation. Since instance features are used to train an empirical performance model in model-based configurators, it can be important to remove correlated features in a pre-processing step depending on the machine-learning algorithm. Darker fields corresponds to a larger correlation between the features.
Clustering instances in 2d; the color encodes the cluster assigned to each cluster. Similar to ISAC, we use a k-means to cluster the instances in the feature space. As pre-processing, we use standard scaling and a PCA to 2 dimensions. To guess the number of clusters, we use the silhouette score on the range of 2 to 12 in the number of clusters
Analysis of the iteratively sampled configurations during the optimization procedure. Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) is used to reduce dimensionality of the search space and plot the distribution of evaluated configurations. The larger the dot, the more often the configuration was evaluated on instances from the set. Configurations that were incumbents at least once during optimization are marked as red squares. Configurations acquired through local search are marked with a 'x'. The downward triangle denotes the final incumbent, whereas the orange upward triangle denotes the default configuration. The heatmap and the colorbar correspond to the predicted performance in that part of the search space.
Depicts the average cost of the best so far found configuration (using all trajectory data) over the time spent by the configurator (including target algorithm runs and the overhead generated by the configurator) If the curve flattens out early, it indicates that too much time was spent for the configurator run; whereas a curve that is still improving at the end of the budget indicates that one should increase the configuration budget. The plotted standard deviation gives the uncertainty over multiple configurator runs.
Previously used by Golovin et al. to study the frequency of chosen parameter settings in black-box-optimization. Each line corresponds to one configuration in the runhistory and shows the parameter settings and the corresponding (estimated) average cost. To handle large configuration spaces with hundreds of parameters, the (at most) 10 most important parameters based on a fANOVA parameter importance analysis are plotted. To emphasize better configurations, the performance is encoded in the color of each line, ranging from blue to red. These plots provide insights into whether the configurator focused on specific parameter values and how these correlate to their costs. NOTE: the given runhistory should contain only optimization and no validation to analyze the explored parameter-space.

JUNE
26 ST JOSEMARIA, PRIEST
Born
in Barbastro (
ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
I will give you shepherds after my own heart, and they shall feed you on knowledge and sound teaching.
COLLECT
O God, who raised up your priest Saint Josemarķa in the Church to proclaim the universal call to holiness and the apostolate, grant that by his intercession and example we may, through our daily work, be formed in the likeness of Jesus your Son and serve the work of redemption with burning love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Holy Father, accept these gifts that we offer in memory of Saint Josemarķa, so that, through the sacrifice offered by Christ on the altar of the Cross and made present here in this sacrament, you may graciously sanctify all that we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
O Lord our
God, may the mysteries we have received in this celebration of Saint Josemarķa,
strengthen in us the spirit of adoption as your children, so that, in faithful
adherence to your will, we may advance joyfully along the path of holiness. We
ask this through Christ our Lord.


A waterproof galley allows divers to come in out of the weather with their wetsuits on and enjoy something to eat, work on their camera equipment or just relax. Centrally located heads are waterproof and are convenient to use during the dive day. Hot water showers are located on deck for a quick rinse. There is also a below deck shower room.
The bunkroom has comfortable single and double bunks that offer curtains and reading lights as well as pillows and blankets along with a dressing room. A large sundeck is available for relaxing between dives or to enjoy during sunrises and sunsets with your favorite beverage. Kayaks can be stored on a rack out of the way and do not clutter the decks.
(note: please visit our store for pricing or keep reading for more information)
All lifesaving equipment including lifejackets and rafts are located on the sundeck behind the wheelhouse. Should the need arise, this is where a crewman will be passing out the safety equipment. Please review the placard located in each bunk for proper donning of lifejackets.
While hard equipment (tanks and weight belts) needs to be removed before entering the cabin from the deck, everyone is welcome into the galley with their wetsuits on and dripping wet.
When using an onboard cup, please use a provided dry-erase pen to put a name on the cup so it can be reused by the diver for the duration of the trip.
If there are special dietary needs, please inform the galley staff early of the first morning of any requests.
Breakfast is served from 7:00 – 9:00 am. If arriving late, there is always a variety of cereals, pastries and fruit left out until 10:30 am.
Lunch is served from 12:00 – 1:00 pm. If diving at that time, please understand that the galley staffs will have moved on to other jobs so ask them early to put a plate aside for eating later.
Dinner is usually served at 6:00 pm.
Smoking is not allowed below decks nor is wet gear which should be left upstairs.
The shower room is located down the forward staircase on the Vision and Conception dive boats and in the stern compartment on the Truth dive boat. Please help conserve our on board fresh water supply by taking only one shower a day and not rinsing gear in the shower.
This room is located at the back of the boat accessible from the Main Deck. This is where you can hang your wetsuit to dry anytime you like. Warm air delivered from the engine room heats this area. There is also a clothes dryer for your towels and bathing suits (no wetsuits). Have courtesy to those with dried clothes by taking them out and placing them on top of the dryer.
A kayak rack is provided for out-of-the-way storage of kayaks. Please ask a crew member for help when taking kayaks on or off the rack. Be sure to inform the crew about planned kayaking destinations and the length of time for the expected sojourn. Flotation devices and wetsuits are recommended for protection from exposure. The boat is equipped with extra life jackets.
Please use the Santa Barbara Harbor parking lot and park only in white single stalls. The yellow double-length stalls are reserved for vehicles with boat trailers and those parking there will be ticketed or towed. Bring the parking stub into the dive boat office at the Sea Landing and the staff will validate it for a reduced rate of $3/day.

Established on December 11th, 1862 as the 13th Battalion Volunteer Militia, the RHLI is the oldest infantry regiment in the Hamilton-Burlington area. The RHLI has been present in every Canadian military campaign and the history of the Regiment reflects the history of the nation it serves. “Rileys”, as they are known, were present at the Battle of Ridgeway during the Fenian Raids, the Red River uprising and the Boer War. In both World Wars, Rileys distinguished themselves, and members also served in Korea. Rileys have also served in the former Republic of Yugoslavia, Kuwait, The Congo, Sierra Leone, Haiti and Afghanistan.
Mise sur pied le 11 décembre 1862 en tant que 13th Battalion Volunteer Militia, le RHLI est le plus vieux régiment d’infanterie de la région d’Hamilton et de Burlington. Le RHLI a participé à toutes les campagnes militaires canadiennes, et son histoire reflète celle de la nation qu’il sert. Les « Rileys », comme on les appelle, étaient présents lors de la bataille de Ridgeway pendant les raids des Féniens, lors de la Rébellion de la rivière Rouge et lors de la guerre des Boers. Les Rileys se sont distingués durant les deux guerres mondiales. Ils ont aussi servi en Corée ainsi que dans l’ancienne République fédérale de Yougoslavie, au Kuwait, au Congo, en Sierra Leone, en Haïti et en Afghanistan.
