Racist syndrome (composition over inheritance)
•
1 like•2,416 views
This document discusses the "Racist Developer Syndrome" and uses a fictional scenario to illustrate how well-intentioned developers can end up creating offensive or problematic applications if they do not properly consider the implications of their design decisions. In the scenario, a developer is approached with requests to add increasingly questionable and stereotypical features to a game involving animals like a cat, dog, and robot. By the end, they are asked to create a "Killing Cat Robot." The document argues for an approach of "composition over inheritance" and designing based on capabilities rather than identity to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

Fahrenheit 451 Sci Fi
Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 predicted several technologies that exist today. Bradbury described large TV screens covering walls, which is now possible with projectors. He also predicted wireless earphones and Bluetooth headsets. Most impressively, Bradbury envisioned interactive television shows, like American Idol, where viewers can vote. The novel depicts futuristic devices like a mechanical hound robot and a stomach pump machine that closely resemble modern technologies. Bradbury's vision of a radio transceiver fitting in one's ear anticipated the rise of wireless communication. His ending of nuclear war destroying cities reflects the continued threat of nuclear weapons.

Felix Stanton has initial plans to create a film trailer or multiple pieces of media for an artist. Some key points:
- His highest grade so far was for a film project, so he leans towards creating a film trailer.
- The trailer would convey a story without needing to be too in-depth, leaving room for viewer interpretation.
- He has an actor available to play the main character, and envisions scenic wide shots and locations to portray a realistic drama or horror genre story.
- Additional elements could include posters, interviews about the fictitious film, and a fake radio interview in character. Alternatively, multiple media like a music video, album art, and magazine cover could

This document discusses building personas to better understand users. It explains that personas are fictional characters representing different types of users of a product or site. The speaker provides tips for creating personas, including giving them names, life stories, likes/dislikes. Attendees are asked to create vampire personas. They then role play interviews with the personas to get inside the user's perspective and identify what is important to them. Building personas and role playing interviews helps ensure products are testing the right things and meeting user needs.
15 things
The document lists 15 things to do before turning 45, including seeing your favorite band live, running a marathon, visiting a foreign country, learning a second language, writing letters to important people in your life, watching classic TV shows, giving away something expensive, making amends with enemies, applying for your dream job, going on a long road trip, learning to play a musical instrument, writing a short story, facing a fear, finding a mentor and mentee, and performing alone on stage. It also promotes a time management app to help achieve these goals.
The Country of the Kind
The document provides context and analysis for the short story "The Country of the Kind" by Damon Knight. It summarizes the milieu of the story as a mid-future, fairly utopian society on Earth from the 1950s perspective. It examines the narrator, who has been made an outcast from this kind society, and the orders in a pamphlet concerning him, which sanction and warn others about him.

Key criteria for success included an original idea, experienced director, variety of locations, and sufficient budget.
2012 and We're STILL Using PowerPoint Wrong
The document criticizes the overuse and misuse of PowerPoint presentations. It notes that PowerPoint was created in 1990 but presenters are still improperly using it 22 years later by overstuffing slides with too much text and information instead of using it to tell stories. The document recommends using images, telling interesting stories, preparing early, getting better training, and stopping the practice of overstuffing slides to create more effective presentations.

It summarizes that the existing magazines have rectangular text boxes and photos taken at gaming events. It notes that the new magazine should have an original yet blue and "gamer style" design that can appeal to readers aged 16-20 as well as both male and female gamers who prefer online gaming over in-person social interaction. The magazine should focus on gaming-related content and events rather than broader social issues that could be controversial.
The Politics of #Winning
This is a slide presentation from a TV training class conducted by Austin Petersen, editor of The Libertarian Republic and Chief Executive Officer of Stonegait LLC.
This class is to teach people how to get booked on television news, and how to act when they are on.

CBB
Celebrity Big Brother is a reality television show based on the original Big Brother format where celebrities live together in a house under constant surveillance by cameras. The 1-hour televised episodes are highly edited to create drama and storylines from footage recorded over many hours. This editing process can distort viewers' sense of time and manipulate events. The show emphasizes the empty nature of fame by featuring celebrities who gained notoriety through talent shows or provocative opinions rather than substantive accomplishments. As the housemates are shut off from the outside world, the environment creates a hyperreal experience that blurs reality TV and real life.
Ridley scott
Ridley Scott is a famous and acclaimed film director known for his artistic vision and hands-on approach. He got his start working for the BBC before founding a production company and directing his first feature film, The Duellists. Scott is known for pioneering the use of storyboards and preferring fluid, improvisational filming styles that allow actors freedom. Some of his most famous and influential films include Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, and Gladiator. The author admires Scott's friendly, collaborative nature and his drive to constantly improve and achieve more through his artistic work.

Five Things You Always Wanted to Know About Localization… But Were Afraid to Ask
In this session, Hans Fenstermacher, CEO of of the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) looks at five questions that constantly come up in the language service business and provides some answers to them:
1. What is the difference between translation and localization?
2. Why is localization so hard?
3. Why is localization so expensive?
4. Aren’t most language service providers basically the same?
5. Can’t computers translate most everything now?
Rough ideas
The document discusses potential story ideas for music videos for the Alt-J song "Dissolve Me". The first idea follows a couple from their first date to marriage and old age. Flashbacks would show moments from their life together. However, it may be too complex with many actors needed. The second idea has a man collecting gifts for his girlfriend but she becomes ill and dies in his arms, though reversing the video at the end. This may be too emotional and difficult to portray effectively. Both ideas aim to match the song's progression but have production challenges.
個人の嗜好を学習し記事を推奨するフィードリーダ
This document discusses the development of a web application for summarizing Japanese documents in 3 sentences or less. It notes that existing web services like Google Reader were lacking for Japanese users and describes building a tool that uses morphological analysis and frequency of word appearance to generate concise summaries. The system was tested on sample documents and shown to produce summaries capturing the main points in under 100 Japanese characters.
Kobe script
A man awakens tied to a chair and is confronted by three people wanting to interview him about the "thing" they believe is inside him. However, it becomes clear the man is actually in control and has been playing along with them. He reveals abilities beyond normal and knowledge of personal details about one of the men he shouldn't know. The other two men try to stop the interview, realizing something is wrong, but the man is left alone with the main interrogator, threatening and intimidating him.
Finding Your Pickle by Russell Perry
This document discusses how authenticity helps scale startups by reducing fear. It describes the author's journey of overcoming fears through gaining clarity and authenticity. He did this by figuring out what he wanted, creating decision-making filters, and making space to remain clear. Following this process allowed him to grow his business revenues from $0 to over $400k while remaining self-funded and achieving his personal goals. The key message is that clarity kills fear, authenticity is the path to clarity, and an authentic self is the most productive version of oneself.
Outdoors Activities Essay
The study aimed to determine the efficacy of whole body vibration (WBV) versus suspension therapy for improving balance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Thirty children between ages 8-10 who could stand and walk independently but had frequent falling were randomly assigned to receive either WBV and physical therapy or suspension therapy and physical therapy. Results suggested that both interventions improved balance compared to baseline, but WBV led to greater improvements in balance control and gross motor function compared to suspension therapy.
Joyce Schwarz Avon Keynote on Visioning 2012
The document discusses creating a vision board to visually map out goals. It explains that a vision board shows how to live your best possible life by starting with the end in mind. Examples are given of putting inspiring words, images, affirmations and quotes on the board related to goals like a family trip to Disney World. The purpose of the vision board is to suspend disbelief and see goals as already achieved in order to make them real.
Girl Scout Product Design Presentation
http://catalystgroup.tumblr.com/post/41301930543/how-to-teach-design-to-4th-graders-in-an-hour-part
I had the honor of being invited to help my 9-year-old daughter’s Girl Scout Troop earn their Product Design Badge. The main goal of the badge is to introduce the kids to some basic design concepts using “hands-on” methods as much as possible.
I had an hour. (Actually, I was able to finagle a second hour-long session by offering to host it at my office, complete with cool whiteboards, stacks of Post-its, and jars of M&Ms.)
I probably over-prepared, but I’m glad I did. The kids were even more dynamic, engaged, and informed than I expected. It was a fantastic experience that left me hungry for more similar opportunities.
I started with what I hoped was an achievable, but still valuable set of objectives for the session:
1. Introduce design as a discipline and a profession (really a group of professions)
2. Encourage awareness of the design decisions that produced the products and services we use every day, and a curiosity about the basis of those decisions
3. Explore the crucial role that empathy plays in the design process
4. Facilitate an initial exposure (through fun activities) to basic design techniques and terms

9 patterns of microservices
1. Microservices architecture involves developing applications as a suite of independently deployable services that communicate through APIs and focus on business capabilities.
2. Key patterns include organizing around business capabilities with cross-functional teams, treating services as long-running products rather than projects, using smart endpoints and dumb pipes for communication, and decentralized governance and data management.
3. Other important patterns are automating infrastructure, designing for failure of services, and evolving designs over time rather than expecting a big bang migration to microservices.

I18n in rails is very special part and it has some tricks and in this class we are attacking these 2 topics.
Rails course day 6
Nowadays almost there's no real application without solid authentication and authorization.
And almost every web app now either consumes or provides an API.
In this class we are using Devise gem to do the Authentication cancancan for authorization and rabl for APIs

Rails course day 2
This document provides an agenda for Day 2 of a Ruby on Rails course. It discusses inspecting scaffolded Rails applications and covers routes, controllers, migrations, models, views, and basic Rails commands. Routes define how code is triggered by HTTP requests. Controllers are at the center of the MVC framework and delegate tasks. Migrations track database schema changes over time to allow rolling back changes. Models represent application data and include validations and ORM functionality. Views use ERB syntax and partials to render application interfaces.
Rails01
This document outlines the agenda for a Rails 101 course, including introductions about the instructor and expected experience levels of students. It discusses what Rails is, how to get it installed, and provides a crash course on Ruby and git.

Failfast
The document discusses the concept of "fail fast" in software development. It advocates for failing immediately when errors are encountered rather than failing silently, which can lead to bugs appearing unexpectedly later on. It recommends using assertions to validate conditions and ensure failures occur early in development. Debugging is identified as the most annoying part of software work, and failing fast is presented as a solution to reduce debugging time by catching errors sooner.
Git workshop
The document outlines an agenda for a Git workshop. It covers getting started with Git, the Git workflow, tips and tricks, and social coding with GitHub. It discusses installing Git, creating repositories and commits, branching and merging, .gitignore files, git blame, testing before pushing, stashing changes, tagging releases, and references additional Git resources.

Hand Rolled Applicative User Validation Code Kata
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.
