Abstract:
The process of designing a relational database is not overly complex, and may be done by almost anyone on the development team. The process requires one to take the time to understand the requirements, when they exist, and apply a straightforward set of transforms to produce table structures that meets the needs. The tough part is that the process requires time and experience, neither of which anyone has enough of. In this session, to help the attendee differentiate right-enough designs from overly simple or overly complex designs, we will look at a variety of database snippets, each inspired from a real life design. We will discuss the pros and cons of the approach taken, and consider possible remediations to learn from a failure that was made by someone else.

Abstract:
In the last releases, SQL Server development was enriched with new T-SQL features, such as CTE (common table extension), array of Ranking and Windowing functions (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, TILE), MERGE statement, OUTPUT clause, EXCEPT and INTERSECT just to name a few. For various reasons some DBA/Developers do not utilize these new features. In this session, the audience will see demonstrations of the different practical use cases where these features can make T-SQL coding more efficient. This 100% code-based demo session highlights efficiency to utilize the latest T-SQL functions over conventional methods with the same functionality. The session will cover in depth live scenarios where these features have proven performance efficiency, code re

I was an employee of a company that had an office in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Prior to that infamous date, I had written several departmental documents that ended up being critical to our recovery. In this presentation, I provide a narrative of what happened in the weeks following 9/11, and how documentation played a role in getting the organization back on its feet. While other disaster recovery presentations talk about strategies, plans, and techniques, this presentation focuses on the documentation itself. We will discuss the documents we had and how they were used in our recovery. We will also discuss what documents we didn't have, and how they could have made the process better.

Abstract:
Security audits such as PCI, STIG, or HIPAA, are important and can be complicated. Depending on the requirements it can take considerable time to gather the information needed. In this session, we will go over some scripts that are used for compliance audits that make it easy to collect the information required. Even when there are multiple SQL Servers, these scripts and processes can quickly and easily identify where to focus efforts to ensure compliance. Through heavy demonstration and discussion, you will leave with a better equipped to understand and obtain compliance within your SQL Server environment.

Abstract:
Most companies are faced with the ever-growing big data problem. There have been two schools of thought on how to solve this problem. Schema on write is represented by the traditional relational database table. Only a small portion of the total data owned by the company resides in the database. Schema on read is represented by technologies such as Hadoop or PolyBase. All data owned by the company can reside in simple storage. Today, we will learn how to stage data using Azure blob storage which can be ingested by both techniques. 1 – Grab some big data. 2 – Create blob storage account. 3 – Copy data to container. 4 – Azure SQL database plumbing. 5 – Loading data with BULK INSERT. 6 – Azure SQL data warehouse plumbing. 7 – Loading data with POLYBASE. 8 – Azure automation with RUNBOOKS.
Speaker(s): John Miner,
Abstract:
One of the most common problems I have encountered as a DBA is the complaints from users that a particular query is slow, just one query. Many times one that used to run in acceptable time, but that over time has slowed down substantially. In this session we will show some of the causes for this, with emphasis on I/O requests being too high for the query. First part of the session will explain how to find these numbers, looking at a few queries with some major performance issues, including explaining why they have a problem. The second part will focus on how to reduce I/O requests. All of this can be done without the need for any 3rd party tools, all within the scope of what is available to SQL Server, all versions, all editions, including Azure.

Abstract:
Do you ever look at your data visualizations and feel that they are lackluster? Have you made a report using the latest chart types, but you still can’t gain adoption from your target audience? Lots of people feel this way, but they can’t quite identify what should be changed or how to change it. This session will help you identify signs that it’s time to give your data visualizations a makeover and provide practical tips for improving your reports and dashboards. We’ll discuss how simple changes in design choices related to color, chart types, chart formatting, and report layout can make a big difference in creating clear and engaging visualizations with common analysis tools like Power BI and Excel.
Speaker(s): Meagan Longoria,
Abstract:
This session will start with performing a basic backup and restore of a database and then discuss the difference between FULL, Differential and Transaction backups. From there I will discuss many of the available options for backups, including backups of specific database files, to multiple files and different restore options. Many DBAs still setup their backups via a GUI and “fire and forget” and don’t think about backups and restores until too late. This session will show you while that works in many cases, for larger or more complex databases, or databases with specialized HA requirements, the out of the box solution may be far from optimal.
Speaker(s): Greg Moore,
Abstract:
Operating on a budget can result in some creative solutions. Recently I've come up with a creative solution for traditional on-premise client-server solutions that allows for full redundancy in the cloud, but at a budget price. This is accomplished through VMs, copying of logs to Blob Storage, automation of hydration, updates de-allocation. It may be a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine, but it works! The result is an extremely pro-rated and affordable DR solution that is restorable to within 1 hour or less of production. Come to this session to learn more about the hurdles faced when putting this solution together and to brainstorm together how it can even be improved.

Abstract:
When you create a new database do you ensure you have done everything you can to give it the chance to shine when things get tough? How many times have you seen a database created with all the defaults and down the road it becomes out of control due to the size, amount of data or even activity? If you really want to ensure your database can scale and perform well at all times you need to do the proper homework before you create the database. We will walk thru the various factors that affect performance and scalability under real life conditions and help you understand how to properly configure them up front to avoid issues down the road. Scalability is all about having a proper foundation to build on.

Abstract:
The deployment process is frustrating; an object is missing, an object is deployed in the wrong order or an incorrect version. Deploying to multiple environments like Dev, QA, UAT, and Prod is a challenge whether on-premise or in the cloud. Source controlling database objects is paramount. Team development is required. Database code will only be deployed when changed. Proper security deployment will be repeatable per environment. Together, let us discover how using Database Project will help us with consistent releases. Deployments can cause you trouble but we will share a reliable deployment and version control process. Let’s see how Database Project can help us accomplish this goal.
Speaker(s): Thomas Norman,
Abstract:
T-SQL programming makes wide use of parameterization in stored procedures, dynamic statements and ad-hoc queries. Many developers aren’t aware of the significant influence they have on query performance. Incorrect use or lack of parameters is a common reason for query performance issues. Have you experienced a query that always ran fast, suddenly (and for "no reason") become slow? And with nothing changing? Yep! * In this session we will learn about how the plan cache deals with queries that are (and are not) parameterized. * You'll learn about parameter sniffing, what it is, and how it's handled in the older and newest versions of SQL. * We will explore the problem of mismatched data types and implicit conversions - and how that ties in with ORM generated code. * Lastly, we'll take a peek at value list handling from applications, and how using a table valued parameter as an input instead. If this is a new topic to you, you'll leave this session with takeaways galore.

Abstract:
Unless you are developing code by yourself, you face challenges of working with several team members. Different people are changing code which affects the code someone else is working on. In addition, there will be teams working on different projects at the same time. In the middle of the projects, an emergency fix needs to be deployed to Production. So where is the code, when do you shared it with others, when do you get the code that has been shared, where is the production code branch located. How do I branch and when do merge? How do I get a release branch? Let me share with you how we are handling this area of DevOps.

The Little Princess (1939)
Grade: 84
"The Little Princess" was Shirley Temple's first technicolor production, and was her last successful film as a child actress. It is probably her best film, edging "Wee Willie Winkie" for the honor. The enduring quality of the story is evident by a recent version, "A Little Princess" from 1995, which is even better than this 1939 version.
"The Little Princess" is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Set in Victorian England during the Boer war, Temple is placed in a luxurious girl's boarding school by her doting father (Ian Hunter), who is to serve in the war. Temple, aided by her charm and father's wealth, soon becomes the most popular girl in the school, earning the enmity of classmate Marcia Mae Jones. Temple aids a romance between implausibly idealized teachers Richard Greene and Anita Louise.
But after her father is reported killed, and his wealth confiscated, Temple can no longer pay for her schooling. Harsh headmistress Mary Nash turns Temple into a servant, and her only friends are an Indian servant neighbor (Cesar Romero), comic relief and dance partner Arthur Treacher, and fellow servant Sybil Jason.
Although the film clocks in at only 91 minutes, there is room for three short Temple dance numbers. Temple's character is a supposedly a British-born girl raised in India, but in fact she is again playing herself. Which she does well: Temple has a winning positive attitude, and she is eager to please.  It can be argued that Temple was the most successful of all child actors, although Ron Howard and Macauley Caulkin had their day. Temple was credited with saving Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy, although the studio dumped her after "The Blue Bird" laid an egg.
Romero's ingratiating Indian servant lacks the magical powers of his counterpart in the 1995 film. But Romero still gives a fine performance, as he did in the 1937 Shirley Temple vehicle "Wee Willie Winkie." Romero is probably best known today for playing the Joker character in the 1960s Batman TV series.
Even Temple's best films are not taken seriously today, probably because their target audience was little girls (of all ages), rather than men. Still, "The Little Princess" is better than most if not all of the James Bond films, demonstrating that warmth and charm compete well with dramatic tension and action.

NAME
errno - number of last error
SYNOPSIS
#include <errno.h>
DESCRIPTION
The
<errno.h>
header file defines the integer variable
errno,
which is set by system calls and some library functions in the event
of an error to indicate what went wrong.
Its value is significant only when the return value of
the call indicated an error
(i.e., -1 from most system calls;
-1 or NULL from most library functions);
a function that succeeds
is
allowed to change
errno.
Valid error numbers are all nonzero;
errno
is never set to zero
by any system call or library function.
For some system calls and library functions (e.g.,
getpriority(2)),
-1 is a valid return on success.
In such cases, a successful return can be distinguished from an error
return by setting
errno
to zero before the call, and then,
if the call returns a status that indicates that an error
may have occurred, checking to see if
errno
has a nonzero value.
errno
is defined by the ISO C standard to be a modifiable lvalue
of type
int,
and must not be explicitly declared;
errno
may be a macro.
errno
is thread-local; setting it in one thread
does not affect its value in any other thread.
All the error names specified by POSIX.1
must have distinct values, with the exception of
EAGAIN
and
EWOULDBLOCK,
which may be the same.
Below is a list of the symbolic error names that are defined on Linux.
Some of these are marked
POSIX.1,
indicating that the name is defined by POSIX.1-2001, or
C99,
indicating that the name is defined by C99.

NOTES
A common mistake is to do
if (somecall() == -1) {
printf("somecall() failed\n");
if (errno == ...) { ... }
}
where
errno
no longer needs to have the value it had upon return from
somecall()
(i.e., it may have been changed by the
printf(3)).
If the value of
errno
should be preserved across a library call, it must be saved:
if (somecall() == -1) {
int errsv = errno;
printf("somecall() failed\n");
if (errsv == ...) { ... }
}
It was common in traditional C to declare
errno
manually
(i.e.,
extern int errno)
instead of including
<errno.h>.
Do not do this.
It will not work with modern versions of the C library.
However, on (very) old UNIX systems, there may be no
<errno.h>
and the declaration is needed.

Example 3¶
In the third example, we approximate the derivative of a function by Approximating Derivatives.
Test 3a¶
In this test:
\[y(x) = 3x^2-3x+3\]
- We are able to determine the derivative exactly when they are linear functions is \(N = 3\)
Test 3b¶
In this test we increase the order of y(x)
to:
\[y(x) = 3x^3 + 3x^2-3x+3\]
- When the derivative function becomes nonlinear
- We can no longer calculate it exactly everywhere
- There are only \(N_{t+1} = 4\) node points
- To calculate the derivative exactly we would need an \(∞\) amount of \(N_{t+1}\)
- We are still calculating the integral exactly and should be able to with \(N = 3\) until \(x^5\)
Test 3c¶
In this test we increase the order of y(x)
to:
\[y(x) = 3x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2-3x+3\]
- We are still calculating the integral exactly and should be able to with \(N = 3\) until \(x^5\)
Test 3d¶
In this test we increase the order of y(x)
to:
\[y(x) =3x^5 + 3x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2-3x+3\]
- We are still calculating the integral exactly with \(N = 3\)!!
- The percent error is = 0.000000000000000000 %
Test 3e¶
In this test we increase the order of y(x)
to:
\[y(x) =3x^6 + 3x^5 + 3x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2-3x+3\]
- As expected, we are not still calculating the integral exactly with \(N = 3\)!!
- The percent error is = -1.818181818181822340 %


Seton Hall rolls Florida A&M after ‘unacceptable’ start
by Associated PressMyles Powell yelled “smile a little bit” to Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard as the star player was on his way out of the media room.
No chance.
Powell scored 23 points and Jared Rhoden had 10 points and 12 rebounds, leading No. 13 Seton Hall to an 87-51 victory over winless Florida A&M on Saturday.
The Pirates pulled away from the Rattlers after a sleepy week of practice and a shaky start, and Willard wasn’t pleased with his team’s performance in front of a crowd of 9,656 at the Prudential Center.
“We had a great crowd coming for a 12 o’clock game,” he said. “We kind of slept walked through 20 minutes of a game.  It’s unacceptable.”
Quincy McKnight had 14 points and five assists for Seton Hall (4-1), which led by 18 before carrying a 36-24 advantage into the break.
Willard is “just saying that as the team that we want to be that we got to practice to get better, not just to get through it,” Powell said, “and he said all week that’s all we were doing, was just trying to get through practice and just get it over with. He said it shows today.
“The score — I don’t feel as though we were playing our best basketball.”
Rod Melton Jr. led Florida A&M with 12 points. M.J. Randolph had 11 points and nine rebounds.
Florida A&M (0-5) pulled within single digits several times in the second half. Melton’s basket on a break made it 43-35 with 16:08 left.
After Nasir Core scored to trim Seton Hall’s lead to 47-38 with 13:57 left, the Pirates responded with a 15-1 run. Powell made a layup to make it 62-39 with 9:25 remaining.


Selecting a {_program} to play it is as simple as {_tap tapping} a program {_button}. The button turns pale green, to indicate that it is now the {_current_program}. If you edit the program, this button turns pink, to remind you that you might want to store the change.
If the program is {_link_program linked} to another program in the same bank, an {l.png height=16} indicator appears on that other program. Similarly, if the program's "sequence program" parameter refers to another program in the same bank, an {s.png height=16} indicator appears on that other program.
To select a program in a different bank, tap the bank number button at the top to see that bank, and then tap the desired program in that bank. When you do so, the highlighted bank switches from the new bank number to the current button, indicating that the bank contains the currently selected program.
If you tap a gray program button, you get a "scratch" program, in which all parameters have their default values. The button is highlighted in pale yellow, but turns pink if you begin to edit the program.


This component is a very important element for building layouts.
Under the hood this component is a wrapper over the CSS Grid.
In all the examples below psk-style was added only for a better presentation of the functionalities.
A simple example in which two columns are illustrated.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed at felis magna. Integer quis lectus vel urna ullamcorper vulputate id vel arcu. Aenean commodo ipsum nec diam mattis, sed blandit ex vestibulum. Duis maximus diam sed sapien elementum, eget ultricies ante sollicitudin.
This example shows how the templating system works.
To expand the cells it is necessary to use the psk-layout-item component.


Why domain model mapping?
Many frameworks which deal with user domain model (aka data model) use some kind of
mapping.
For example JPA uses annotations in order to map user classes into relational database.
Plenty of XML and JSON serializers uses various approaches to mapping, usually based on annotations.
When combined together, all of those framework-specific annotations could be a pain and
pollution in Your business domain code.
Mapping is also a case in JaVers but don't worry:
- It's far more simple than JPA
- Javers uses reasonable defaults and take advantage of type inferring algorithm.
So for a quick start just let it do the mapping for You.
Later on, it would be advisable to refine it to optimize diff semantics
- We believe that domain model classes should be framework agnostic,
so we do not ask You to embrace another annotation set
JaVers wants to know only a few basic facts about your domain model classes,
particularly Javers Type of each class spotted in runtime.
Proper mapping is essential for diff algorithm, for example we need to know if objects of given class
should be compared property-by-property or using equals().
Javers Types
We use
Entity and
Value Objects notions following Eric Evans
Domain Driven Design terminology (DDD).
Furthermore, we use
Values,
Primitives and
Containers.
The last two types are internals and can't be mapped by user.
To make long story short, You as a user are asked to label your domain model classes as
Entities, Value Objects or Values.
Do achieve this, use
JaversBuilder
methods:
Entity
JaVers
Entity
has exactly the same semantic like DDD Entity or JPA Entity.
Usually, each entity instance represents concrete physical object.
Entity has a list of mutable properties and its own identity hold in id property.
For example Entities are: Person, Company.
Value Object
JaVers
ValueObject
is similar to DDD ValueObject and JPA Embeddable.
It's a complex value holder with a list of mutable properties but no unique identifier.
In strict DDD approach, Value Objects can't exists independently and have to be bound do Entity instances
(as a part of an Aggregate). Javers is not such radical and supports both embedded and dangling Value Objects.
For example Value Objects are: Address, Point
Value
JaVers
ValueType
is a simple (scalar) value holder.
Two Values are compared using equals() so
its highly important to implement it properly by comparing underlying state.
For example Values are: BigDecimal, LocalDate
For Values it's advisable to customize JSON serialization by implementing Type Adapters, see
JsonConverter
.
TypeMapper and type inferring policy
Javers use lazy approach to type mapping so types are resolved only for classes spotted in runtime.
To show You how it works, assume that Javers is calculating diff on two graphs of objects
and currently two Person.class instances are compared.
ObjectGraphBuilder
asks
TypeMapper
about
JaversType
of Person.class.
TypeMapper
does the following
- If Person.class was spotted before in the graphs, TypeMapper has exact mapping for it and just returns already known JaversType
- If this is a first question about Person.class, TypeMapper checks if it was registered in
JaversBuilder
as one of Entitiy, Value Object or Value. If so, answer is easy.
- Then TypeMapper tries to find so called Prototype—nearest class or interface that is already mapped and is assignable from Person.class.
So as You can see, it's easy to map whole bunch of classes with common superclass or interface with one call to
JaversBuilder
.
Just register those high level concepts.
- When Prototype is not found, Javers tries to infer Type by looking for well known JPA annotations:
javax.persistence.Entity
and javax.persistence.Id
.
If found, class would be mapped as Entity
, otherwise as ValueObject
.
To summarize, identify Entities and Value Objects and Values in your domain model.
Try to distinct them by high level abstract classes, interfaces or JPA annotations.
Minimize your
JaversBuilder
configuration by taking advantage of type inferring policy.
For Values, remember about implementing equals() and consider implementing JSON type adapters.

'3BlackChicks Review...'
DOWN TO EARTH (2001) Rated PG-13; running time 95 minutes Genre: Comedy Seen at: Jack Lokes' Celebration Cinema (Lansing, Michigan) Official site: http://www.downtoearthmovie.com/ IMDB site: http://us.imdb.com/Details?0231775 Written by: Louis C.K., Lance Crouther, Ali LeRoi, Chris Rock Directed by: Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz Cast: Chris Rock, Regina King, Mark Addy, Frankie Faison, Eugene Levy, Chazz Palminteri, Greg Germann, Jennifer Coolidge, Wanda Sykes
Review Copyright Rose Cooper, 2001 Review URL: http://www.3blackchicks.com/bamsdowntoearth.html
You ever feel like you really, really wanted to sneeze - I mean really, *really*, wanted to sneeze - and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't do much more than let out an insincere snort or two?
Substitute "laugh" for "sneeze" in the above sentence, and you'll know how I felt while watching DOWN TO EARTH.
The Story (WARNING: **spoilers contained below**): The pitch probably went a lil' sum'n like this:
"There's this guy, see, who's a frustrated jock, and he's on the verge of becoming unfrustrated, when this gang of angels - let's call them Mr. King (Chazz Palminteri) and his bumbling assistant, Keyes (Eugene Levy) - takes him from this earthly veil a few years before he was due. The frustrated jock grumbles about this, so the angels put him in a dead quarterback's body, and he goes on to win the pro championship and lives happily ever after!"
"What's that? Warren who? Ok, never mind. How about we make him a mediocre comic...hey, I know, make him a mediocre _Black_ comic! And let's name him Lance Barton (Chris Rock), and put him into a rich White guy's body, and have Lance the inner guy try to squeeze up on Shaniqua...nah, that's too obvious; let's make her Suntee (Regina King) the Social Activist...but Suntee - who can only see the White outer guy - hates Wellington The Rich White Guy because he keeps ignoring her Activator...er, Activism; and for kicks, let's have Well be a lardbutt whose slutty wife (Jennifer Coolidge) sneaks around with Well's skanky lawyer Sklar (Greg Germann) to plan Well's murder...and hey, for more giggles, let's have Lance - in Well's body, but with his Ghetto Mindset fully in place - not only win over the hearts and minds of his sassy maid Wanda (Wanda Sykes) and uptight Brit butler Cisco (Mark Addy), but also bop up and down The Mean Streets Of New York blasting Jungle Music and attracting attention from the natives, who'll have no part of Wellington The Rich White Guy emulating their musical stylings and cultural traditions! Yeah, that'll be FUNN NEEE!"
The Upshot: Man, this flick was bad, almost to the point of pain. This movie was just Wrong in so many ways. I shouldn't be surprised, not with two credited directors and a gazillion writers (including, not surprisingly, Rock himself).
I laughed a few times, but always in isolated, "that was a cute gag", circumstances. I spent most of the time wondering about how We can be so hypocritical at times (see the "Black Factor" for more on this), why on earth anyone would bring their young child to witness Rock's typically-foul mouth (ditto), and whether or not someone at the WB would get the bright idea to make this movie into a weekly series. I was about to say "I really hope not", but since I don't watch the WB anyway, no worries.
I snickered at Wanda "watch me twist my neck" Sykes' antics, but I saw a lot of the gags (including the Black-man-and-a-taxi) coming from miles away. Most of all, I feel sorriest for Regina King (Suntee? As my bud Jim Hill would say, render unto me a break) and Frankie Faison (Whitney), who seem to get enough steady work as The Sidekick, The Comic Relief, or The Street Hustler, but whose true talents aren't showcased nearly as much as they should be; that streak continues, here. As for the Rock man himself, I have no such remorse for him; he'll get a big enough paycheck for this one. And I'll go back to my "avoid remakes if at all possible" stance. Until the next flick comes down the pike, that is. The things I do for 3BC...
The "Black Factor" [ObDisclaimer: We Are Not A Monolith]: Take away my Ghetto Pass if you must, but surely, I can't be the only one who thinks it's the ultimate in hypocrisy for Us to get all offended and sh...tuff when White comics crack on Black folks using the same language that *Black* comics use, can I? Yeah yeah yeah, "only family can dog family"...I've heard it all before. What. Ever.
And I've changed my mind; I'm not gonna call out the Black family that brought their very young son to see this, though I cringed when the kid starting howling at some of Rock's more...colorful language.  But I shouldn't be surprised: this is the same MPAA that, in all their sublime cluelessness, gave BILLY ELLIOT an R rating. Pardon my french, but the MPAA can kiss my Bl[MPAA WARNING: LANGUAGE NOT FIT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13. UNLESS THEY'RE FRENCH.]
Bammer's Bottom Line: DOWN TO EARTH was a prime example of why I Hate Remakes. If *this* is what your movies are gonna look like, Chris, stick with stand-up.
DOWN TO EARTH (rating: yellowlight): Hear ye, hear ye: Bammer declares the rest of 2001 "Remake-free Year". You may go back to what you were doing now. Have a nice day.

Everybody knows what the hourly rate is. Except now let's see how much your free time is worth.
The idea is simple - you have some monthly expenses. And if you spend your time doing nothing - you have this debt growing. And you'll have to pay it in the end of the month.
The more expenses you have - the faster your monthly bill grows.
P.S. It even grows while you're sleeping!

Adding parental controls via a Kid's Profile on Disney+ is fairly simple
Source: Ara Wagoner / Android Central
Disney has some of the most beloved characters and movies of all time. From the likes of Mikey Mouse and Donald Duck to Woody and Buzz, kids of all ages have enjoyed watching Disney for decades. However, that doesn't mean that everything on Disney+ will be wholesome and appropriate for young children. Which is why Disney+ can set up a Kid's Profile to help filter shows that are safe for children. Setting this up can be done in just a few steps, so let's get started.
Products used in this guide
- Disney's best in one place: Disney+ (From $7 after a 7-day free tiral at Disney+)
How to set up a Kid's Profile on a desktop web browser:
- In your web browser, go to Disney+.
- If you have an account already then log in or sign up if you don't.
- To add a new profile, click the add profile from the upper-right navigation menu. Source: Disney+
- Select the profile image.
- Enter a name for the profile and toggle the 'Kids Profile' slider. Source: Disney+
- Click save.
There you have it! You've set up a Kid's Profile so your kids can enjoy Disney+ and you don't have to worry about them watching any inappropriate content. Wait, have you already created a profile and you want to switch it to a Kid's Profile? We've got you covered.
To change an existing profile to a Kid's Profile
- In your web browser, go to Disney+.
- Log into your account.
- Click the edit profiles from the upper-right navigation menu.
- Select the profile you want to change.
- Enable Kids Profile by moving the slider.
- Click Save
The process for making or changing a profile to a Kids Profile from devices other than a web browser is much the same process. So, for the most part, whichever device you have available to access Disney+, you'll likely be able to turn on the Kid's Profile toggle for some peace of mind.
Can I adjust the level of parental controls?
As it stands today, there isn't a way to get more granular controls over the type of content your child will have access to.  It is a bit surprising that there isn't a way to allow different levels of show ratings for a 5-year old versus a 10-year old. Perhaps this is something that Disney will add at a later date. For now, at least, there is some way to filter out the more grown-up shows with the Kid's Profile option — I suppose it's better than nothing.
Pop the corn
Disney+
The magic is here
Disney+ is Disney, finally putting all of its content into one streaming service. You can now access all of your favorite movies and shows, as well as new originals only for Disney+.

Milagro Teruel
Computer ScientistPhD Student
Quick Bio
I'm a Computer Scientist based in Córdoba, Argentina. I'm finishing my PhD in Computing under the direction of Laura Alonso Alemany at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and Marcelo Luis Errecalde, from the Universidad Nacional de San Luis.
As a computer scientist I do mostly Machine Learning, and even though I didn't wanted to be trapped by the Deep Learning hype, I ended up doing Deep Learning anyway. I work on neural embeddings and different representation learning techniques using deep models.
As a teacher... the faces of "ohhh that's how a recursive function works" are priceless. I try to always find time to teach, maybe even make a difference for someone. I strongly believe that education can change your life and add more value than any other thing to your personal capital.
On a completely unrelated topic, I love things that look pretty, and if I can combine that with programming I'm happy! Humans are visual, and if you want to effectively communicate something, start by making it appealing. That's why I like (and now teach) data visualization.
As a person, I'm a dancer, I have a lot of cousins and love to do jigsaw puzzles and origami. That says everything you need to know. I sing too, for the detriment of everyone sharing the same space with me at the time.
Research
Representation Learning for Educational Data Mining
This is my main PhD topic. We are studying automatic representations for low level data, extracted from logs of educational material such as MOOCs or tutoring systems. In particular, we modify the traditional recurrent architecture to inject domain knowledge into the model and represent students along with course elements in the same latent space. We look for results in interpretability to aid teachers and instructional designers to handle large volumes of data.
Read MoreArgumentation Mining
Our aim is to automatically extract argumentative structures from legal text, in particular judgements of the European Court of Human Rights. We have been experimenting with deep learning models with attention to solve this complex problem using very small datasets. This is a work in collaboration with WIMMICS team, INRIA, in the French city of Sophia Antipolis.
Read MoreTeaching is one of the most rewarding activities of my week. I started working as a Student Assistant in 2013, and since then I've tried to always find the time to do it. I'm currently holding an Assistant Teacher position at FaMAF. Some courses that I've been involved with are:
- Algorithms and Data Structures I and II
- Databases
- Operative Systems
- Programming Paradigms
Now I also teach at the Diplomatura en Ciencia de Datos, Aprendizaje Automático y sus Aplicaciones, an undergrad course on Data Science and Machine Learning. We have been developing this initiative since 2016 and it finally became true on 2018. Along with Soledad Palacios we teach Data Analysis and Visualization, and with Cristian Cardellino we teach Deep Learning.
Work Experience
I've worked as a Software Developer for several companies while I was doing my Master and PhD. Always for a couple of months, but they were all amazing experiences and I got to learn from the best programmers. Most of my industry experience is related to Web Development, what I like to call the "frontend of the backend". I also worked for some time analyzing data generated by mobile phones to detect relevant patterns.
The most important company I've worked for is Google, where I did three internships. I also worked in startups in Córdoba like Machinalis, and as volunteer for an open source project, Oppia.

Hi, my name is Oleksandr and I'm a programmer. Web programming for the first time I was interested, when it was necessary to create a website for my wife-artist. The process itself took a long time, at times it was difficult to understand, but gradually it interested me. The result can be seen here - wombart.net. Since then, I have dealt with CSS3, HTML, learned JS, JQuery, some frameworks, data bases and etc.
I am now looking for my next adventure, so feel free to browse the projects section to check out what I've built, shoot me an email or connect on linkedIn.
