Ui testing on multi lingual
The document discusses UI testing for multi-lingual applications. It covers testing the text and controls to ensure they accommodate longer translated strings, storing localizable strings in separate files, testing sorting, justification and directionality for different languages, checking for issues with images, printing for international paper sizes and fonts, and introduces pseudo-translation testing to find localization issues without a full translation.
Server side scripting language
The document discusses server-side scripting languages like PHP. It provides an overview of PHP, including its origins in 1994 and advantages like running code on the server before sending to the user. The document also covers PHP syntax, variables, data types, constants, and basic functions like echo and print for output. Key elements of PHP like comments, errors, and casting between data types are also summarized.
Cais
This document provides tips for protecting computers and information from online threats. It recommends using a Mac for protection, and discusses how a Mac was hacked at a security contest by visiting a malicious website through Safari. It also outlines various vectors for attacks, including physical access, network access, browsing the web, email, and wireless connections. Some tips provided include using strong passwords, encryption, logging out of devices, and being wary of phishing attempts. It recommends the Firefox browser along with specific add-ons like NoScript and Web of Trust to block scripts and warn of risky websites.
Maintenance of Dynamically vs. Statically typed Languages
This document discusses the differences between statically and dynamically typed programming languages. It covers topics like data types, static vs dynamic languages, core differences, examples of languages in each category, and considerations for language selection and maintenance. Static languages are compiled and catch errors early, while dynamic languages are interpreted and more flexible. Both have advantages for different types of projects.
Generic Tools, Specific Laguages
The document describes a language workbench called Generic Tools Specific Languages (GTSL). It discusses how GTSL allows building generic tools that can support arbitrary domain-specific languages through language extensions. This is achieved by focusing on the underlying language data first before tooling. Language workbenches provide common tooling for any language definition while also allowing these languages to be customized. The document provides an example of GTSL being used to build an IDE for embedded software engineering that combines several DSLs through a shared language workbench.
Swift vs. Language X
The document compares the Swift programming language to an unknown language X, describing various features and capabilities. It poses questions about language X that hint it is focused on cross-platform development, open source, safety, and functional programming. It is eventually revealed that language X is F#, and provides links to learn more about F# and its use for both front-end and back-end development across platforms like iOS, Android, and Azure.
Python overview
Python was created in 1990 by Guido van Rossum as a hobby project. It is a highly portable, interpreted programming language that is designed to be easy to learn and read. Python code tends to be shorter and more readable than comparable code in other languages like C or Java due to its clear syntax and use of whitespace.

Good programming
The document provides wisdom and advice for programmers from Sung-Kook Han. It discusses many principles and best practices for programming, including:
- Fully define the problem before starting to program.
- Use a top-down approach, draw diagrams, and think through the design before coding.
- Keep things simple, avoid duplication, and minimize complexity.
- Practice abstraction, single responsibility, and defensive programming.
- Iterate and refine through repeated programming.
- Choose tools and languages carefully and get continuous learning.
PYTHON PPT.pptx
This document provides an industrial training presentation on Python programming. It introduces Python, explaining that it is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language. It then covers why Python is used, its basic data types like numbers, strings, lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets. The presentation also discusses Python concepts like conditionals, loops, functions, exceptions, file handling, object-oriented programming and databases. It concludes that Python supports both procedural and object-oriented programming and can be universally accepted. References for further reading are also included.
Caring for file formats
Presented at Troopers 2016.
When Infosec and Digipres share interests...
TL;DR
- Attack surface with file formats is too big.
- Specs are useless (just a nice ‘guide’), not representing reality.
- We can’t deprecate formats because we can’t preserve and we can’t define how they really work
- We need open good libraries to simplify landscape, and create a corpus to express the reality of file format, which gives us real “documentation”.
- Then we can preserve and deprecate older format, which reduces attack surface.
- From then on, we can focus on making the present more secure.
- We don't need new formats: reality will diverge from the specs anyway - we need 'alive' (up to date, traceable) specs.
Natural language processing: feature extraction
This document discusses natural language processing (NLP) and feature extraction. It explains that NLP can be used for applications like search, translation, and question answering. The document then discusses extracting features from text like paragraphs, sentences, words, parts of speech, entities, sentiment, topics, and assertions. Specific features discussed in more detail include frequency, relationships between words, language features, supervised machine learning, classifiers, encoding words, word vectors, and parse trees. Tools mentioned for NLP include Google Cloud NLP, Spacy, OpenNLP, and Stanford Core NLP.

Documentation Workbook Series. Step 3 Presenting Information (Technical Writing)
Documentation Workbook Series. Step 3 Presenting Information (Technical Writing)Adrienne Bellehumeur
This booklet is part of Step 3 Presenting of the five-step documentation process (Step 1 – Capturing Information, Step 2 – Structuring Information, Step 3 – Presenting Information, Step 4 –Communicating Information, Step 5 – Storing and Maintaining Information). This booklet provides some basic tips, techniques, approaches and exercises for understanding and practicing effective technical writing. Full text search
Full text search allows searching large documents and databases by examining all words in stored documents to match search terms, rather than just searching for exact matches. It works by indexing documents, including word positions, and applying rules like removing common words. Queries can then search for keywords, use wildcards, and order results by relevance. Common full text search solutions include APIs like Lucene and Xapian, and servers like Sphinx and Solr, which are used by many large companies and websites to enable powerful searching of large amounts of text data.
Best Practices In Terminology Research 2010
The document provides an overview of best practices for terminology research. It lists several tools and resources for searching internal reference materials and documentation, including Namazu, Product Reference Material portal, Microsoft Index Server, Search & Replace tool, Google, TAUS data portal, Linguee, Eur-Lex, and various language-specific resources for Greek and English. Tips are provided such as combining search terms with their possible translations.

CETS 2012, Mitch Donaldson & Ralph Strozza, slides for eLearning for Overseas...Chicago eLearning & Technology Showcase
The document discusses challenges in localizing eLearning content into foreign languages from a linguistic and cultural perspective. Key points include preparing content for translation while keeping it concise and mindful of cultural norms, using translation memory tools to improve consistency, resolving technical issues in translating content created in programs like Articulate and Flash, and ensuring quality during the localization process.DSL Best Practices
In this deck I describe twenty best practices for using external DSLs to develop software (also know as Model-Driven Development). The best practices are based on my personal experience, but they are also rated based on feedback I received from a number of colleagues to express the level of confidence experts have in the particular best practice.
The slides cover three main aspects: language definition, model processing as well as process and organizational issues. Examples include the importance of notations, viewpoints and partitioning, the role of constraints, model transformations and testing as well as some thoughts on documentation, reviews and project roles.
Putting twenty best practices into 5.000 words of course results in each best practice being quite brief. However, it also means each is highly condensed and to the point. I believe the slides remind developers of most of the critical aspects of using DSLs, and it can serve as a checklist when starting an MD* project.
lecture2-PerlProgramming
This lecture introduces Perl programming using a text editor and command line. It discusses writing and testing a simple "Hello world" Perl program by saving it with a .pl file extension, running it with the perl command, and debugging any errors. The goal is for students to get practice writing, running and fixing Perl programs through hands-on practical sessions.

Envisioning the Future of Language Workbenches
Over the last couple of years, I have used MPS successfully to build interesting (modeling and programming) languages in a wide variety of domains, targeting both business users and engineers. I’ve used MPS because it is currently the most powerful language workbench, lots of things are good about iz, in particular, its support for a multitude of notations and language modularity. But it is also obvious that MPS is not going to be viable for the medium to long term future; the most obvious reason for this statement is that it is not web/cloud-based. In this keynote, I will quickly recap why and how we have been successful with MPS, and point out how language workbenches could look like in the future; I will outline challenges, opportunities and research problems. I hope to spawn discussions for the remainder of the workshop.
Nautral Langauge Processing - Basics / Non Technical
This document provides an overview of natural language processing (NLP) and discusses several NLP applications. It introduces NLP and how it helps computers understand human language through examples like Apple's Siri and Google Now. It then summarizes popular NLP toolkits and describes applications including text summarization, information extraction, sentiment analysis, and dialog systems. The document concludes by discussing NLP system development, testing, and evaluation.
How To "Speak Developer"
The document discusses how security professionals can better communicate with developers by learning to "speak developer". It recommends:
1) Learning the developer's language by understanding their perceptions, working context using agile terminology, and key metrics.
2) Speaking the developer's language by imitating them, being inclusive of all roles, and being transparent about security work.
3) "Speaking" in the right places by being pragmatic, concise, and integrating security tools and documentation into the workflows and tools developers already use.
The goal is to break down barriers, empower teams to build security in from the start, and help developers integrate security best practices into their rapid pace of work.
Showing How Security Has (And Hasn't) Improved, After Ten Years Of Trying
The document discusses the results of fuzz testing software from 2000-2010 to analyze how software security has improved over the last decade. The testing involved fuzzing four file formats (Office, PDF, etc.) across 18 programs from different years. This resulted in over 175,000 crashes. Analysis found over 900 unique bugs. Later versions had fewer exploitable bugs, indicating improving code quality. The results provide a potential "fuzzmark" metric for software security improvements, though comparisons across formats require more controls. The testing process and challenges ensuring data integrity are also outlined.

Switch case and looping statements are programming constructs that allow for conditional execution of code blocks. A switch case statement allows a variable's value to control program flow via multiple branches, improving clarity over long if statements. Looping statements like while and for loops execute a block of code repeatedly, allowing programs to perform repetitive tasks or process collections of data by running the same code multiple times. These programming structures are essential for many applications to make complex decisions and process large amounts of information.
UNIT 5.pptx
This document discusses files and exception handling in Python. It begins by defining files and describing different types of files like data, text, and program files. It then covers topics like sequential and random file access, opening and closing files, reading and writing to files, and using file dialogs. The document also discusses retrieving data from the web using functions like urlopen. Finally, it defines exceptions and different types of errors like syntax, runtime, and logical errors. It explains how to handle exceptions in Python using try/except blocks and predefined or user-defined exceptions.
Fundamentalsofprogrammingfinal 121011003536-phpapp02
The document provides an overview of switch case and looping statements in programming. It discusses key concepts like if/else statements, switch cases, while loops, for loops, foreach loops, and break and continue statements. Examples are given for each concept along with links to online resources that demonstrate them. The document is intended to teach fundamental programming concepts for educational purposes.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
