History
GrapheneOS was founded by Daniel Micay in late 2014. It started as a solo project incorporating his previous open source privacy/security work. The project initially created a port of OpenBSD malloc to Android's Bionic libc and a port of the PaX kernel patches to the kernels for the supported devices. It quickly expanded to having a large set of homegrown privacy and security improvements, particularly low-level hardening work on the compiler toolchain and Bionic. Work began on landing code upstream in AOSP and other upstream projects. A substantial portion of these early changes were either successfully landed upstream or heavily influenced the upstream changes which replaced them. The project was able to move very quickly in these days because there was so much low hanging fruit to address and it wasn't yet trying to produce a highly robust, production quality OS.
In late 2015, a company was incorporated which became the primary sponsor of the project. GrapheneOS was previously known as CopperheadOS while it was sponsored by this company. The intention was to use the company to build a business around GrapheneOS selling support, contract work and customized proprietary variants of the OS. The company was supposed to serve the needs of the open source project, rather than vice versa. It was explicitly agreed that GrapheneOS would remain independently owned and controlled by Daniel Micay. This company failed to live up the promises and is no longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS. The company ended up holding back the open source project and taking far more from it than was provided to it.
In 2018, the company was hijacked by the CEO who attempted to take over the project through coercion, but they were rebuked. They seized the infrastructure and stole the donations, but the project successfully moved on without them and has been fully revived. Since then, they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship of our work, which has no basis in fact. They've tried to retroactively change the terms of their involvement and rewrite the history of the project. These claims are easily disproven through the public record and by people involved with the open source project and the former sponsor. This former sponsor has engaged in a campaign of misinformation and harassment of contributors to the project. Be aware that they are actively trying to sabotage GrapheneOS and are engaging in many forms of attacks against the project, the developers, contributors and supporters. Meanwhile, they continue profiting from our open source work which they falsely claim as their own creation.
After splitting from the former sponsor, the project was rebranded to AndroidHardening and then to GrapheneOS and it has continued down the original path of being an independent open source project. It will never again be closely tied to any particular sponsor or company.
GrapheneOS now has multiple full-time and part-time developers supported by donations and multiple companies collaborating with the project.
GrapheneOS Foundation was created as a non-profit organization in Canada in 2023 to handle the intake and distribution of donations.

A history of releases for the current incarnation of GrapheneOS is available via the releases changelog.

--- layout: post title: "Day 6 - Bar Brothers Workout" subtitle: "This morning I got up and found that my weight kept dropping during the night. After the night before, I did cardio at home and drank 3 cups of water." date: 2019-10-27 background: '/img/posts/intro-barbrothers.png' ---
This is day number 6 of my traning, I woke up early because they moved the clock to a winter clock, I didn't have too much to do, so I decided to weight myself before eating something in the morning.
I think this weight is pretty good, considering that last Wednesday I weighed exactly the same weight. I can take that in the direction of frustration but must continue the training program and must never give up even when difficult, as Eric Thomas says: pain is temporary if you quit however it will last forever.
The truth is, when I think about it, Eric Thomas has another good sentence when he wants something that gives him the ambition to conquer our goals. For example: You can't sleep. Broke people sleep. You got to be willing to sacrifice sleep, if you sleep you may miss the opportunity to be successful.
I'm not saying it's simple to do what Eric Thomas says, but it's important to remember, for example, if there is something that excites us, we will continue to deal with it even if we are tired or hungry. And in my opinion that's what Eric Thomas means, referring to the process of what we want to accomplish with excitement. In this way we will continue to work towards achieving the goal.
I arrived at the house around 8:30 pm, it's because I came back late and also did some shopping and bought some food for the rest of my diet. Then I started doing a workout according to Bar Brothers tables, of course I started walk 5km as always and then I added cardio training even though I didn't have to do so, but it's important to me to see results fast.
Then I started that day's training, was listed on the Bar Brothers tables to do abs workouts, and after I finished, I took a shower and sat down to eat. I've eaten what I always eat after training, Sesame sauce with tuna and two eggs, let's me write you how to make the tahini from Sesame sauce, it's very tasty.
Ingredients:
1 cup of sesame sauce
2 crushed garlic cloves
3/4 cup of cold water
1/2 lemon squeezed medium
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped parsley (not must)
preparation method:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Keep in the fridge.
The tahini can be accredited by adding a little tahini or diluting by adding a little water.
Tomorrow I will reconsider and see if today's effort was worth it, I expect to lose at least 0.800kg
of my weight.
Cheers!


Cooper Union Launches Digital Archive of Student Work
- Written by Eric Baldwin
- about 10 hours
The Cooper Union’s Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture has created a new digital archive of student work in a comprehensive online database. As one of the few online collections of a school of architecture's student work, the database represents over eight decades of work, dating from the 1930’s through the present.
The digital archive documents over 4,000 student projects, including photos of drawings, small and large-scale models, supplemental sketches, and project descriptions – and is searchable by architect name, course, and by professor (such as Peter Eisenman, Toshiko Mori, Lebbeus Woods, Michael Webb, Diana Agrest, and more). The database was designed to become one of the first comprehensive, public, digital resources for historical and contemporary architectural pedagogy and student work.

vCSE Trading Symbol: HIH
Recent Corporate Jingle: "Any Orbit, Any Payload!"
 It always also puzzled us that space stations were designed by engineers rather than architectural firms, but never mind that. One puzzle at a time.
Haul It High, Inc. is in the business of bringing payload to orbit, but more importantly, providing a capability to bring it back down too, or fix it while it is up there, or deconstruct it, or refurbish it. HIH, Inc. provides attractive insurance, financing, and customer support packages. In short, it is a complete space transportation service provider. And it is run by Jack "Jocko" Lamberghetti, a tough-as-nails no-nonsense ass-kicking CEO who cut his teeth in the trucking, shipping, and air cargo business.
Despite its recent corporate advertising slogan, HIH, Inc. does not, in fact, provide any payload to any orbit. The chief "workhorse" of the Blue Planet [vTmk] fleet is the 2-crewperson refurbishable Rock & Roll [vTmk] spacecraft built by AerospaceSmiths, Inc. with a limited cross-range L/D ratio and a measly 2x3 meter cargo bay. Launched piggyback on a carrier aircraft and detached at an altitude of 23 kilometers, the Rock & Roll spacecraft flares nose up and uses rocket thrust to escape velocity at approximate latitude 22 degrees N to an altitude of no more than 160 kilometers. Depending upon staytime and in-flight burns designed to move to different inclinations, a flight can deliver anywhere from 1 to 3 metric tons (about 2,205 to 6,615 pounds) to a low-Earth orbit.
At an average of US$12,000,000 a flight, that amounts to US$4000-$US12000/kilogram (about US$1800-US$5400/pound) -- not exactly cheap. On the other hand, having trained crewpeople in orbit to handle unanticipated problems leads to a launch success rate of 98%, best in the business. The Blue Planet [vTmk] service guarantees full compensation with very affordable insurance. In an industry where launches are no guarantees and where payloads are getting very expensive to design and build, it is no wonder that HIH keeps a full manifest of almost one launch a day.
In fact, HIH doesn't make much money providing "haulage" despite its name. In truth, the corporation works more like a "Mr. Fix-It" in space. Kind of like the guy you call when you need to change a burned-out light bulb at the bottom of the swimming pool. This is a very easy thing to do if you have the know-how and the equipment.
Finally, the main cost of space transportation, as it turns out, has very little to do with the gleaming spacecraft and everything to do with more down-to-Earth tasks of making sure that cargo is shipped in good condition to the em/debarkation bays and loaded/unloaded correctly, as well as other mundane tasks such as safety inspection, daily maintenance, etcetera. Customers need to be notified if problems are going to arise and they need to be reasonably satisfied that it isn't going to cost them anything. In short, the profit charts look very much the same as they do in the ocean shipping and trucking businesses.
Good. We like HIH Inc. for their blend of market saavy and near-monopoly. They are not the only space launch business in town but they do seem to know how to manage a fleet and a manifest. The only real problem we see with this business is that there is a limit to how many payloads people need to place and operate in low-Earth orbit. As long as telecomm demands remain strong -- and admittedly, there's no slacking off in sight -- then HIH, Inc. will be a market leader. Any kind of extraordinary space programme to build a lunar or Ares colony, or deep-space flotilla, would also boost business. No pun intended.

First, to know what queries to make to the IUCN REST API, we need a list of extinct species names. This information can be downloaded from the IUCN website, but unfortunately this is not easily automated. Thus we’ll download the data file using a copy already prepared for the course:
extinct = read_csv("http://berkeley.carlboettiger.info/espm-88b/extinction/data/extinct.csv")
Parsed with column specification:
cols(
.default = col_character(),
`Species ID` = col_integer(),
`Red List criteria version` = col_double(),
`Year assessed` = col_integer()
)
See spec(...) for full column specifications.

df %>% mutate(last_seen = as.numeric(str_extract(rationale, "\\d{4}"))) -> dates
We can get a sense for the tempo of extinctions by plotting extinctions since 1500 in 25-year interval bins.
dates %>% ggplot(aes(last_seen)) + geom_histogram()
`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
Warning: Removed 414 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).
A. Compute the number of extinctions from 1500 - 1900 and from 1900 to present of each of the following taxonomic groups:
Compare your estimates to Table 1 of Ceballos et al (2015).
The number of species going extinct per century in a given taxonomic group will be influenced by how many species are present in the group to begin with. (For an obvious example, the number of vertebrate extinctions is always going to be higher than the number of mammal extinctions, since mammals are vertebrates). Overall, these numbers do not change greatly over a period of a few hundred years, so we were able to make the relative comparisons between the roughly pre-industrial and post-industrial periods above.
As discussed by Tony Barnosky in the introductory video (or in Ceballos et al (2015) paper), if we want to compare these extinction rates against the long-term palentological record, it is necessary to weigh the rates by the total number of species. That is, to compute the number of extinctions per million species per year (MSY; equivalently, the number extinctions per 10,000 species per 100 years).
A) First, we will compute how many species are present in each of the taxonomic groups. To do so, we need a table that has not only extinct species, but all assessed species. We will once again query this information from the IUCN API.
This is going to involve a lot of data – more than the API can serve in a single chunk. Instead, the API breaks the returns up into groups of 10,000 species per page (see API docs: http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/docs#species). Luckily, the API also tells us the total number of species:
http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/speciescount?token=9bb4facb6d23f48efbf424bb05c0c1ef1cf6f468393bc745d42179ac4aca5fee
The code below queries the first page. How many pages will we need to get all the data? Modify the example below to collect all of the data into a single DataFrame. Note the use of append
to add data to an existing data.frame with matching column labels.
## Assignment: Adjust this code so that it reads in all pages, not just the first page:
# Uses API V3, which requires a token. Note here we just use the public token.
link <- paste0("http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/species/page/", as.character(0), "?token=9bb4facb6d23f48efbf424bb05c0c1ef1cf6f468393bc745d42179ac4aca5fee")
r <- httr::GET(link)
out <- httr::content(r)
out$result %>%
purrr::map_df(function(x) x %>% unlist() %>% enframe() %>% spread(name, value)) ->
all_species
B) Based on the complete data, write queries that count the number of species in each group. Then use these numbers to compute MSY, the number extinctions per 10,000 species per 100 years, for each of the groups listed in Question 1. How do your estimates compare to the overall historical average of about 2 MSY?
In parsing the data with regular expressions, we encountered certain data that resulted in missing values. Identify and investigate the strings for which we were not able to extract a date value.
Plot the MSY rates in intervals of 50 years for each of the groups as a line plot (compare to Figure 1a of Ceballos et al (2015) paper). Compute the slope of these curves to forecast the extinction rate in 2100.


Ayodhya Verdict: Appeal all parties to abide by secular values, says Congress in statement
"The doors are now closed for the BJP to use Ram for its power hunger," Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said
Reacting to the Supreme Court of India's verdict in the Ayodhya land dispute case, Congress on November 9 said that it respects the verdict and appealed all parties and communities to maintain peace and harmony.
"We appeal to all the parties concerned and to all communities to abide by the secular values and spirit of fraternity enshrined in our Constitution and to maintain peace and harmony. It is the responsibility of each one of us to reaffirm our tradition of mutual respect and unity among all that has defined our society through the ages," the Congress said in a statement.
Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala, meanwhile, also reacted, stating that Lord Ram's name cannot be used to divide.
"Ram is sacrifice, Ram is bhaichara, Lord Ram’s name cannot be used to divide. Those who do this in the name of Ram, don’t understand him at all. The doors are now closed for the BJP to use Ram for its power hunger," Surjewala said.

A five-judge Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, and also comprising Justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer, in a unanimous decision said that possession of the disputed 2.7 acre land rights will be handed over to the deity, Ram Lalla, who is one of the three litigants in the case.
The possession, however, will remain with a central government receiver.

AS a bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey has so much to offer visitors: breathtaking natural beauty, unique historical and archaeological sites, steadily improving hotel and touristic infrastructure and a tradition of hospitality and competitive prices. Therefore, it is not surprising that Turkey has become one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations.
In Turkey you will experience an incredible diversity in nature, culture, history, beliefs and ideas. This in itself may not be a challenge for the seasoned traveller.
After all, diversity is the most prized feature of favourite destinations. In Turkey this diversity is rich enough to challenge even the most experienced eye because it is packed into tight spaces with abrupt changes of scenery.
This is why people sometimes describe the Turkish landscape as a "symphony of sounds, smells and people in the most unlikely combinations of appearance and action".
Due to Turkey's diverse geography, one can experience four different climates in any one day. This rectangular-shaped country is bordered on three sides by three different seas. Its shores are laced with beaches, bays, coves, ports, islands and peninsulas.
The country is rich in hot springs, healing waters and mud baths, which are highly recommended by the medical authorities as a remedy for many diseases. But Turkey is above all a huge open-air museum, a repository of all the civilisations nurtured by the soils of Anatolia.


Ferrero SpA (Italian pronunciation: [ferˈrɛːro]) is an Italian manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products and it is the third biggest chocolate producer and confectionery company in the world.
It was founded in 1946 in Alba, Piedmont, Italy by Pietro Ferrero, a confectioner and small-time pastry maker who laid the groundwork for the Nutella and famously added hazelnut to save money on chocolate. The company saw a period of tremendous growth and success under Pietro's son Michele Ferrero, who in turn handed over the daily operations to his sons. His son Pietro (the founder's grandson), who oversaw global business, died on April 18, 2011, in a cycling accident in South Africa at the age of 47. Reputation Institute's 2009 survey ranks Ferrero as the most reputable company in the world.
Ferrero SpA is a private company owned by the Ferrero family and has been described as "one of the world's most secretive firms".The Ferrero Group worldwide – now headed by CEO Giovanni Ferrero – includes 38 trading companies, 18 factories, approximately 21,500 employees and produces around 365,000 tonnes of Nutella each year. Ferrero International SA's headquarters is in Luxembourg. Its German factory is the largest of all and Pasquale Giorgio is its current CEO.

The rm_db_name()
function was inspired from having column names prefixed by database names when importing the data into R.
One solution to this problem is to use “as variable_name
” in you SQL code without giving the table an “as table_name
” alias. This solution works fine when you have less than a dozen or so fields. What if you had several hundred? No one in a job with deadlines would rename every single field.
For example, lets say that you have a HIVE table called fiscal_dates with 3 fields, greg_d, wk_end_d, and year.
When you query this table, you would expect this:
expected <- tibble::tribble(~greg_d,~wk_end_d,~year)
str(expected)
#> tibble [0 x 3] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ greg_d : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ wk_end_d: 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ year : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
Instead you get this:
incorrect <- tibble::tribble(~fiscal_dates.greg_d,~fiscal_dates.wk_end_d,~fiscal_dates.year)
str(incorrect)
#> tibble [0 x 3] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ fiscal_dates.greg_d : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ fiscal_dates.wk_end_d: 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ fiscal_dates.year : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
The database prefix is very inefficient moving forward in any data wrangling and machine learning project.
The rm_db_name()
will remove the prefix and return a dataframe with the correct or desired column names.
corrected <- RToolShed::rm_db_name(incorrect,"fiscal_dates")
str(corrected)
#> tibble [0 x 3] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ greg_d : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ wk_end_d: 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)
#> $ year : 'vctrs_unspecified' logi(0)

Consider searching a linked list of length n and each element in the linked list consist a key along with a hash value. Where, key k is a long character string. Since the list contains hash value, using the hash values for searching the linked list is an advantage.
• Since the key k is a long character string, string comparison operation is performed at every node along the length or the list. Since the string comparison is a time consuming process, searching the list also takes much time.
• Instead of comparing the given key with key k of each node, generating the hash value for the given search key and comparing it with the hash value of each node in the list is advantageous and festers the search.
• Thus, first generate the hash value for the given search key then compare the hash value with hash value of every node in the list along the length of the linked list.
• Since the hash value is a numeric value, comparison is faster and search takes less time.
Therefore, in this case, using hash values for searching linked list is an advantage, as it fasters the search.
Consider the following basic number theory principles of modulo arithmetic:
…… (1)
and
…… (2)
Where, and are integers.
Now, consider the string of r characters. This r characters string can be hashed using the division method with constant space.
The conversion of any string of length r to a radix-128 number takes place in the following way:
…… (3)
Where, denotes thecharacter starting from the least significant end with 0. In other words it can also be viewed as its ASCII code’s integer.
Apply the division hashing function in the equation (3):
Therefore, from the above, it need to take modulo operation after every multiplication, which gives a result a constant number. It gives a constant number because, the term given below gives a number less than, equal to or greater than.
Now, after taking the modulus of a number, even the number is less than, equal to or greater than, it will give a constant number less than.
Therefore, the division method applied to compute the hash value of the given character string using more than a constant number of words storag e outside the string itself.
It is known that permutations can be generated in a string by interchanging any pair of characters. This property can be proved in the following way:
• First consider quick sort and heap sort both work by interchanging pair of elements. So, it can be used to generate a number of permutations of its input array.
• Therefore, it enough to prove that two strings and hash to the same value. Where string is obtained from the string by exchanging a pair of characters.
• Suppose denotes thecharacter in and denotes thecharacter in. So, the interpretation of in radixwill be given asand the interpretation of in radix will be given as.
• Therefore,
, As is given.
Similarly,
• Assume that and are identical strings of characters except that the characters in positions and are interchanged.
That is, and …… (1)
• Now, suppose then:
…… (2)
• Now by Euclidian algorithm,
and
Then
• Now, take in equation (2), then
• As and are similar strings of characters other than the characters in position and are exchanged,
Now, use and from equation (1)
• Now, multiply the above with and factor out the, then user will obtained:
Now, factor out the,
…… (3)
• Now consider the following equation:
Now, multiply with on each side, then
• Now put this value in the equation (3),
Then,
Now, the above expression consists as a factor, therefore the above value can be exactly divided by.
Thus,
will be zero.
Therefore,
Hence, it can be concluded that,
And thus,
Example:
Now consider the following example of a dictionary. If and a character string is represented in radix , then two strings that are similar other than for a transposed character hash to the same value.
Now, suppose
Now consider two strings u= “abcd” and v=“badc”. Here u can be obtained by permuting the characters in v.
Calculate hash values using ASCII values of characters as follows:
• The value of u in radix ,
• Now, its hash value , ,
• The value of v in radix ,,
• Now, its hash value , ,
• Here, two strings u,v hash to the same value. That is .
The property is undesirable in dictionary application:
• A dictionary contains different words such that one word is obtained from another by permuting the characters. For example, TOP, OPT and POT
• If the given property is used for dictionary application, hash values of POT, TOP and OPT are same.
Therefore the given property does not suitable to applications like dictionaries.
|B| and |U| are 2 finite sets from which a family H of hash functions has been defined to be such that probability of a hash function of key is less than or equal to .
Suppose b = |B| and u = |U| and b divides u.
To prove the given inequality, we will take the contradictory case as true.
Contradictory case:
Suppose . It signifies that each key value pair (k, l) that belongs to U. For these value, there are will be n hash functions that have collision on 2 elements and it satisfies the inequalities .
Sum all such pairs.
After summing up, you get
……(1)
With a good hash function, there should be at least colliding pairs.
It means that each slot should have at least 2 colliding keys.
Similarly, for all hash functions, there will be at least = colliding pairs.
Using the inequality (1), it is clear that the total number of colliding pairs are less than required.
Thus, it is a contradiction. Hence, it is proved that .

HR Integrations for Employee Data
Expediting employee data maintenance via HR integrations.
Overview
Carta is a B2B SaaS company that helps companies and investors manage their cap tables, valuations, investments, and equity plans.
Wireframing
High-fidelity prototypes
User flows
User interviews
Usability testing
Product designer (me)
4-5 Engineers
Product manager
User researcher
The Enterprise Team was formed to improve the experience for company administrators of enterprise companies. Shortly after, we started this project.
Company administrators are often responsible for maintaining personal employee data (e.g. emails, addresses, and ID numbers) for large companies across multiple systems, including Carta.
We created Employee Data HR Integrations to improve this process for them.
With this new feature, customers can integrate their company's HR system with Carta to keep their employee data in sync. This functionality minimizes the repetitive work involved in maintaining employee data and eliminates input errors on Carta.
Problem
Updating employee personal data as a company administrator is cumbersome, error-prone, and doesn’t scale.
These updates, including changes in employment status or personal address, are typically first made in the company’s HR system of choice.
The same updates must then be made on Carta to keep both systems current. The problem of maintaining these systems worsens for our Enterprise customers, who have hundreds or thousands of employees.
This process creates additional, unnecessary work for company admins and we sought to make this process easier.
Process
Before I jumped into design tools, I sought to gain as much context as possible surrounding the problem and project.
I worked closely with my product manager and engineers from the beginning of the project to ensure I understood the problem, requirements, and constraints and eventually moved on to creating low-fidelity designs to explore initial ideas. I refined them as our requirements evolved during some exploratory work from the engineers.
We explored a few different options to address the problem:
1. Spreadsheet template. With this solution, users would download a structured spreadsheet, fill in their employees data, and reupload it. Carta would then read the spreadsheet and update their data accordingly. Although quick and easy to build, this still required a lot of effort on the user's part and didn't significantly improve the data update experience.
2. SFTP Integration. This was a way for us to securely connect to our customers' HR providers. Once connected, a file containing employee updates would be sent to Carta once a day. As I mapped out the workflow, it became clear the process was laborious for both Carta and the customer, so we explored other options for our v1.
3. API Integration. This was the last option we explored and ultimately the solution we built. We found that it was both simple to set up and we could support a sizable percentage of our customers by building for a few specific HR providers.
Solution
Data integrations between Carta and commonly used HR systems to reduce manual work in updating employee personal data.
With our solution, company administrators can now:- Set up a data integration, allowing Carta to detect changes in HR systems.
- View employee data changes from HR systems through the Carta app.
- Sync Carta employee data to match HR systems.
- Trigger data syncing with HR systems to stage the latest updates in-app.
Key Insights and Design Decisions
After getting early design feedback from various teammates, including designers outside of my team, I created a high-fidelity interactive prototype to test with prospective customers. Through both user interviews and usability testing, I gained key insights that informed my design decisions.
Insight: Our users lack trust in Carta: Some of our users said they wouldn’t trust Carta to update their employee data accurately, even via an integration.
Design Decision: Build trust through transparency. I sought to build trust with our users by designing a page that explicitly displays and highlights staged changes, instead of the solution being an automated, background process.
This page gives users the chance to review updates before manually confirming the updates themselves and gives them confidence that the integration is pulling the correct changes.
I chose to visually highlight incoming data changes to make it easy for the user to visually distinguish changes from existing data.
Insight: Employee ID is an expected part of employee records Pairing employee IDs with employee names makes it easy for users to identify specific employee records across systems. Employee IDs are unique numerical identifiers associated with people in HR systems. Users expect to see an employee ID whenever they're dealing with employee data.
Design Decision: Display Employee ID in the UI alongside employee names. This matches user expectations for employee records and makes finding specific individual records easier.
Insight: Bulk actions are high value. Manually inputting and updating data is a time-consuming task due to the volume of employee data changes company administrators often deal with. They emphasized that data maintenance was important, but low-priority compared to their other tasks. They want to update the data as quickly as possible without making mistakes so they can move on to other parts of their job.
Design Decision: Allow for bulk confirmation of updates. This pain point that we discovered reinforced our hypothesis that bulk actions would be valuable to develop, so we prioritized their implementation for our v1.
Outcomes (6 months post-launch)
• 48 Enterprise companies created an HR integration.
• Syncing personal employee data for 26k+ employees.
• Users can now:
• Create data integrations with 3 HR providers.
• Review and confirm data changes from HR systems.
• Manually sync to get the latest updates from HR systems.
Reflection
What I would do differently
Follow up after launch: We had defined different success metrics a few times throughout development, but we never reviewed them post-launch. As soon as we shipped, we moved onto a different project. I would have liked for the team to go back and review our success metrics and reflect on the project and our work together.
More usability tests: We had trouble finding our specific user type (Company/HR/Stock administrator) for usability tests, in part because of how uncommon the role is. This made it difficult to get many usability tests done with our specific user type. In hindsight, I could have run additional tests with just about anyone and still gained some usability insights that I could have applied to the design.
Further design improvements
A more ideal experience would be to let individuals decide whether they want their data to be synced automatically or manually and allow for toggling between the two. This option was something the team considered but we decided to save it for a later release.
This option would allow each person to choose the setting that works best based on their workflow, preference, and comfort level.

Binding lists are generated by the mk tools (i.e., mkapp and mksys) and are installed into the "system" configuration tree by the installer. They are in the "system" tree to keep them protected from sandboxed applications.
Bindings between clients and servers are stored under the client's configuration. If the client is an application, the bindings are stored under the application's configuration in the "system" tree. If the client is a non-application user, the bindings are stored under the "/users/bindings" branch of the "system" tree.
system:/ apps// bindings/ app user interface users/ / bindings/ app user interface
Each

Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928)
Grade: 59
"Steamboat Bill, Jr." was one of Buster Keaton's last silent films. There are several spectacular stunts, which is Keaton's trademark, but sometimes the story lags.
The plot has a burly riverboat captain (Ernest Torrence) facing new competition from wealthy rival King (Tom McGuire) who has built a "floating palace". McGuire and Torrence despise each other. Torrence's blue-blooded son (Buster Keaton) pays a visit to his long-lost father. Torrence tries to make a man out of him, while Keaton has a greater interest in King's daughter (Marion Byron).
"Steamboat Bill, Jr." is most famous for a dangerous stunt in which a heavy wall falls on Keaton, who survives because his body is positioned exactly corresponding to an open window. The film was also the inspiration for "Steamboat Willie", the animation short that marked the debut of Mickey Mouse.
There are some problems with the story. Byron is not given enough incentive to fall for Keaton. Keaton's character changes to suit the plot. At first, he is comic and clumsy, but becomes an action hero by film's end (a recurrent theme in Keaton's silent films). When Torrence is jailed, Keaton tries to smuggle in a file hidden in a loaf of bread, an unlikely action for his character, and also a foolish action that had little chance to succeed. Finally, the cyclone at the end of the film, while leading to decent slapstick and stunts, is inconsistent, leveling some buildings and boats while others are left completely unchanged. Several people are endangered and must be rescued by Keaton. These people just happen to be the main characters.

Recorded Sessions can be extremely useful while trying to reproduce a bug in your application that was produced by a hostile environment produced by Holodeck. Record a Holodeck session when verifying a bug, then attach it to the bug report. This will allow the developer to verify the bug more easily and will allow you to verify the fix quickly when the developer has fixed the bug.
Further Exploration:
Recorded sessions will record any changes made to Holodeck while testing an application, it will not however record user input, UI changes, or test harness application changes. Try using Recorded Sessions while setting your own faults, limits, tests etc within Holodeck for the application. Then replay the same recorded session while doing other testing. You can use Recorded Sessions like a manual macro, which can help you find more bugs quickly. To reproduce the bug simply attach the Recorded Session to the bug report with the repro steps.
For more information see the Replay the Recorded Session overview and the Introduction to Automatic Test Generation help topics.

Ed Sutter
PDF version of a full book, but weirdly rendered - contents pages are wrong. Still, it creates searchable text.
Lovely picture of a toaster on the front cover. Worth scrolling through to find examples of prototyping practice.
"The goal of this book is to prepare you for a real embedded systems project by
walking you through an entire embedded systems design. Not coincidentally, the
project source code included is a piece of firmware — an embedded boot platform
— that can simplify all your future projects."
"Several chapters cover the basic steps of starting up an embedded system and
getting a working application (including the basic boot in assembler), exception
handling, flash memory drivers, a flash file system, and serial and Ethernet
connections. The result is an understanding of how an embedded systems project gets
started and how to build a platform on which an embedded systems application can
reside."
"The intent of this book is not to
discuss the latest superscalar architecture or the antenna effects of copper routes
on a printed circuit board, nor does it present a high-level abstract design process."

SQL Server 2012 have several options for providing Database Professionals with High Availability solutions. This session will provide Audience insight in selecting the proper solution that meets their needs.
Speaker(s): Michael Corpuz,
Abstract:
In this session attendee gets to learn ETL development outside the confines of Business Intelligence Development Studio, using an open source ETL tool called Kettle and why in some respect is more superior to SSIS.
Speaker(s): Romeliz Valenciano,
Abstract:
Powerful servers are now being commoditized and are becoming mainstream and very affordable. However, most of us, with the exception of those dealing with the very large exotic server setups, lack knowledge on how we acquire off-the-shelf servers and components relative to how our SQL Server databases be after sometime. In this session, learn the basics on what to look for in a hardware that would fit to our specifications as database servers relative to our needs. This session will also cover best practices in setting up and configuring these servers (e.g. RAID, paritioning, etc)

--- title: Uploading and showing an image on DW tags: [ blogging, html, dw, ] location: The Rainbow Caravan's North End on Whidbey Island mood: didactic music: layout: post posted: Mon Sep 3 20:42:45 PDT 2018 ---
This started out in a comment, but I think enough people may be struggling with DW's relatively new image upload feature that it's worth making it into a post. And it's a good excuse for posting.
(aside: The key to all of this is knowing enough about HTML to be able to identify the correct URL and create the img tag to refer to it -- it probably all looks like black magic to somebody who hasn't been doing this stuff for the last few years. Don't expect to get it all on one reading.)
You might also want to know some terminology. Those things enclosed in angle brackets are commonly called "tags". The things with a name, an equals sign, and something in quotes are called "attributes". And single and double quotes are identical in effect, but have to match: you can't start with a single and end with a double.
So -- I uploaded an image; down at the bottom there's a box labeled Image Code. Copy, paste:

(That's what it looked like, except that I wrapped the lines to make it clearer.)
Looking at that line of HTML I can see that there's an img tag that, from the
/100x100/
in its URL, looks like a thumbnail. It's wrapped
in a link -- an  tag. The href attribute is
https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/file/352.jpg
, which ought to be the
full-sized image, so I'll get a preview just to make sure...
Then I clicked the "Preview" button, and it looked like this:
Yup. So https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/file/352.jpg
-- the
href
attribute of the img
tag, is the URL of the
actual image. (At that point I could just as well have copied it out of
the browser's location bar, since I was already looking at the full-sized
image. I didn't think of that, and just copied it out of the comment I
was writing.)
I can put that into an img
tag that looks like
<:img src="https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/file/352.jpg" width="512">.
Chrome says (in the page title) that the image is 1024x719, so I'll try
cutting it down by adding a width="512"
attribute.
Here we go:
-- purrfect.
One final aside: if you're following along and using a word processor that automagically turns quotation marks into matching
curly quotes, you need to turn that feature off when you're editing HTML, because they won't be recognized as quotes. If you're creating your post in your browser and you want to enter HTML directly, you need to click the "HTML" tab (over on the upper right). The "Rich Text" setting will create HTML automatically and you'll need to click one of its little icons to create an actual image tag.
Happy hacking!
