PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. The Vortex® EBR-1 MRAD Reticle
3
RIFLESCOPE
Designed to maximize long distance shooting and ranging abilities,
the EBR-1 MRAD reticle for the Viper®PSTTM
6–24x50 riflescope
can be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage
corrections and moving target leads. Ultra precision laser etching on
the glass reticle ensures that mrad specifications can be kept to the
tightest tolerances possible. The fine center crosshair subtensions
on the EBR-1 MRAD reticle were carefully chosen to provide the
optimum balance between precision aiming and low light visibility.
Note: Reticle images shown in this manual are for representation
only—images vary between scope models depending on magnification
and reticle plane.

MRAD Subtensions
The EBR-1 MRAD reticle is based on the milliradian, or mrad for
short. Mrad unit of arc measurements are based on the radian. A
radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that
is equal in length to the radius of the circle. There are 6.283 radians
in a circle and 1000 milliradians in a radian for a total of 6,283
milliradians (mrads) in a circle. An mrad will subtend 3.6 inches at a
distance of 100 yards. Most riflescopes with mrad adjustments use .1
mrad clicks which subtend .36 inches at 100 yards.
In the Viper PST second focal plane riflescopes, the listed MRAD
subtensions of the EBR-1 reticle are only valid at the highest
magnifications of the scope. However, by understanding the
relationship of magnification and subtensions, you can still calculate
ranging, holdovers, and wind drift at partial magnifications. Here are
some examples:
• If the magnification is set at 1/2 the full magnification, subtension
values will be two times the spec listed in the manual.
• If the magnification is set at 1/3 the full magnification, subtension
values will be three times the spec listed in the manual.
• If the magnification is set at 1/4 the full magnification, subtension
values will be four times the spec listed in the manual.

RIFLESCOPE
Ranging a 6-foot target (2 yards) at 4 mrads yields 500 yards.
Example
Target Size (Yards) x 1000
MRADs Read
Range (Yards)=
To use these formulas, you will need to know the measured size of the
target or a nearby object. Using either the vertical or horizontal mrad
scale, place the reticle on the target of known measurement and read the
number of mrads spanned.
Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold—the rifle should be
solidly braced using a rest, bipod or sling. Once you have an accurate mrad
reading, use any of the listed ranging formulas to calculate distance.
Maximum accuracy in ranging will be obtained by calculating exact mrad
measurements—mrads should be estimated in tenths if possible.
Ranging
Mrad reticles such as the EBR-1 are very effective for ranging using
simple formulas:
Target Size (Meters) x 1000

Elevation Holdovers
3 mrad correction for 500-yard shot. No wind.
Example
Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-1 MRAD
reticle or a laser rangefinder, the EBR-1 can be used for rapid
holdover correction for bullet drop of the cartridge being used.
To get the most benefit out of the EBR-1 equipped riflescope,
Vortex Optics highly recommends shooters learn their bullet drop
numbers in mrads rather than inches or MOAs. (Remember that
1 mrad equals 3.44 MOA or 3.6 inches per 100 yards).
Since the EBR-1 reticle is scaled in mrads, it is an easy job to
quickly select the correct drop reference line once the shooter
knows their bullet drops and windage/lead corrections in mrads.
If the shooter prefers to dial come ups for bullet drop using the
elevation knob, knowing bullet drops in mrads will allow for
much faster adjustments as the mrads can be quickly read on the
elevation knob.

RIFLESCOPE
Windage and Moving Targets
The EBR-1 reticle is highly effective when used for wind and
moving target leads.
Using the reticle for windage and moving leads will require
thorough knowledge of your weapon system’s ballistic performance
under varying conditions and experience in reading wind
strengths and target speeds. As in bullet drops, it is imperative
the shooter learn the particular weapon’s windage/moving target
corrections in mrads rather than inches or MOAs.
2.6 mrad correction for 15 mph wind at 700 yards.
Elevation already dialed into turret.
When dialing elevation come ups, the center horizontal crosshair
will be used for windage or moving lead corrections.

RIFLESCOPE
When using the reticle for elevation correction rather than dialing, the
mrad marks on the center horizontal crosshair can still be used to help
visually reference windage corrections.
Basic windage correction using drop line on reticle
When estimating moving target leads, the mrad marks on the center
horizontal crosshair can be used. Estimating moving leads will require
knowing yardage distance, wind speed, moving target speed and total
bullet flight times including rifle lock time. Bullet flight times can be
roughly calculated based on fps velocities or a ballistic calculator.
Basic moving lead correction
2.74 mrad correction for a target moving at 3 mph at 800 yards. No wind.
Total bullet time of flight from trigger pull is 1.5 seconds during which the
target travels 6.6 feet. Elevation already dialed into turret.
Direction of Movement
Note: Correctly estimating moving leads is very difficult and requires
considerable practice and knowledge beyond the scope of this manual.Example

Using 3 mrad drop line at 500 yards, 2 mrad correction for 10 mph wind.
