Waiting for the Babel Fish: Languages and Multilingualism
The document discusses the challenges of building tools that support multilingual users and allow for code switching between languages. It notes that most people are multilingual to some degree, but many online tools assume a one-language-per-user model. It provides recommendations for tools to support multilingual users better, such as localizing interfaces in multiple languages, allowing users to specify multiple languages, and designing features that facilitate mixing languages. The document argues for "multilingualization" rather than just translation to enable code switching online.
Flippable User Interfaces for Internationalization
The language reading direction is probably one of the most determinant factors influencing the successful internationalization of graphical user interfaces, beyond their mere translation. Western languages are read from left to right and top to bottom, while Arabic languages and Hebrew are read from right to left and top to bottom, and Oriental languages are read from top to bottom. In order to address this challenge, we introduce flippable user interfaces that enable the end user to change the reading direction of a graphical user interface by flipping it into the desired reading direction by direct manipulation. This operation automatically and dynamically changes the user interface layout based on a generalized concept of reading direction and translates it according to the end user’s preferences.
Multilingualism and language choice in sub saharan africa
This document discusses language use in Sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that the region is highly multilingual with over a thousand languages spoken. While colonial powers established some European languages, indigenous African languages are increasingly taking on official status. Most Africans are multilingual, switching between local, national, and international languages depending on context. Some languages like Swahili have emerged as lingua francas across multiple countries. Effective localization requires understanding these complex language environments and dynamics.
Latino Outreach at the Library
The document provides an agenda for a meeting about Latino outreach in libraries. It discusses the Project Empecemos II grant which funds bilingual programming and materials. It shares details on past outreach activities like Hispanic Heritage Day events, ESL presentations, and computer classes in Spanish. Tips are provided for visiting Latino communities, attending local events, and generating contacts. Key websites for Spanish resources are also listed. The document ends with asking for any questions or comments.

Web Application Security: OWASP TOP 10 2010 tra rischi, attacchi e difese
"For the first time web application vulnerabilities have reached 50 per cent of all code flaws reported" - IBM X-Force Threat Report
L'X-force Threats Report ogni sei mesi riporta i trend dell’IT Security. Nell’edizione di Agosto 2010, oltre al Phishing e all’exploiting dei PDF, conferma che il 50% delle vulnerabilità si trova nelle applicazioni web. Che l’applicazione sia open source o closed source, creata da uno sviluppatore freelance o da una azienda di una qualsiasi dimensione, bisogna considerare tutti i fattori di rischio e impatto in caso di compromissione e conoscere i metodi più pratici ed economici per risolvere o mitigare le vulnerabilità.
Durante il talk, dopo una breve introduzione sulla sicurezza delle applicazioni web, vedremo - con alcuni esempi pratici e in maniera semplice - come attaccare, come difendersi e quali sono i rischi che corriamo con i 10 rischi più frequenti nel 2010 secondo l’OWASP: dalle Injection (di SQL o LDAP...) ai Redirect, passando per le XSS e CSRF e molto altro.
Standards WakeUp: XHTML, CSS, Accessibilità e Semantica
Il World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), insieme con altri gruppi e organismi di standardizzazione, ha fondato le tecnologie per la creazione e interpretazione di contenuti basati sul Web. Queste tecnologie, che noi chiamiamo “standard del Web”, sono accuratamente progettate per offrire tutti i vantaggi del Web al maggior numero di utenti e, nello stesso tempo, per assicurare lunga vita a qualsiasi documento pubblicato sul Web. L'intervento, proposto al RomeCamp 2007, riassume a grandi linee tali Standard e il loro utilizzo. Da XHTML a CSS, dall'UTF-8 a ECMAscript, dalle etichette ICRA ai metadati.

Training Program
This document provides training on how to organize and build a successful network marketing business. It emphasizes treating the business seriously rather than as a hobby, setting schedules and goals, recruiting a strong downline team, prospecting for new customers, and using motivation and praise to encourage the downline. Building residual income through a large downline is key to eventual wealth in network marketing.
Rev1,1
This document provides scriptural references related to end times and prophecy. It references passages in Daniel that speak of future events during the time of wrath and the end times. Galatians passages discuss how the gospel came by revelation from Jesus Christ rather than from man. 2 Thessalonians and Romans passages reference God's judgment and crushing of Satan. The document suggests these passages indicate events must soon take place and the time is near, and lists that there are 4 views on the subject.
Internet Is Fun
The document discusses how the internet can be used for sharing ideas, singing, photographs, communicating with others, acquiring and sharing knowledge, collaborating on artistic works, creating social networks, and creating video channels. It also provides links to resources like Skype, Picasa, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace, Blogger, MediaWiki, Windows Live Messenger, and Wikipedia for these purposes. The overall message is that the internet can be fun when used for self-expression, communication, learning, and creativity.

Revelation 1st
This document discusses four approaches to interpreting biblical prophecy:
1) Preterist - focuses on prophecies fulfilled in the 1st century church. It references Matthew 24:21-22 about great distress coming upon the world.
2) Historicist - sees prophecy as a road map of world history. It lists biblical references paired with their historical fulfillments.
3) Futurist - views prophecy as a blueprint for end times events yet to come. It references Revelation 1:19 about writing what will happen later.
4) Idealist - interprets prophecy as conveying timeless spiritual principles, not literal events. It references 2 Peter 3:13 about a new heaven and earth.
Revelation intro
This document provides an overview of key aspects of the biblical book of Revelation. It begins by summarizing Revelation 1:1-3 which introduces the revelation that was given by God to Jesus Christ to show his servants things that would shortly take place. It then lists some of the main components and interpretation approaches to Revelation, including judgments, symbols, creatures, the preterist/historicist/futurist/idealist views. It discusses different perspectives on Revelation from figures like John Calvin, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Luther. It closes by summarizing Revelation 19:11-16 which describes a vision of a rider on a white horse who will strike down the nations with a sword and whose name is declared to be King of Kings

Future of screens for Linguistic Diversity
This document discusses the need for apps and digital media to be inclusive of dual language learners (DLLs), who make up 25% of young children in the US. It notes that effective apps should support children's home languages as well as English. The document critiques some current apps for only including English text and translations, lacking cultural representation, and failing to make meaningful connections between languages. It provides a rubric for evaluating apps on factors like supported languages, developmentally appropriate practice, and recording children's productive language. The conclusion calls for more proactive, universally designed apps with culturally rich content to better serve DLLs.

Human Language Technologies in a Multilingual Europe
The document summarizes a presentation on human language technologies in a multilingual Europe. Some key points:
- There are 24 official EU languages and many regional/minority languages that have equal status but most are under-supported by language technologies and face digital extinction.
- The META-NET alliance coordinates language technology research across Europe but the field remains fragmented. There is a need for high-quality, deployable language technologies to support applications like translation, conversational interfaces, and a multilingual digital single market.
- A proposed "Multilingual Value Programme" would help enable the multilingual digital single market through technologies for translating, analyzing, processing and curating natural language content.

Let's pretend
Playing is simple, even a child can do it, but designing something simple is hard. How can we combine prototyping with production software to get our ideas in front of real people? How can we evolve our software over time? How do we measure if something is fun?
I will talk about how Ruby’s flexibility and a strong testing ethos can bring some sanity to this uncertain world. And when I say testing, I’m not just talking about RSpec, Cucumber or Capybara, I’ll share stories from Mightyverse about how we test whether our software actually “works” for the people who use it — sharing failures, I mean, learning, as well as success.
Kutoa: Programming the Web in Smalltalk
The document discusses Kutoa, a programming language and virtual machine for gluing software together. It aims to make software development simpler, more productive, and reusable by allowing programs to be written as scripts that send messages between objects. Kutoa avoids variables, classes, and upfront compilation, instead evaluating scripts lazily at runtime. The document provides examples of how Kutoa scripts work and invites the audience to collaborate on its development.

Chatmunk
The document summarizes research on an app called Chatmunk, which allows users to practice speaking foreign languages without judgment. It includes:
1) User research showing most learn languages for personal enrichment or education, and prefer classes but find them lacking for real-life interactions.
2) Competitive analyses comparing Chatmunk's features to other language learning apps and translation tools, finding it unique in allowing unscripted conversations with natives.
3) Personas of potential users - a student studying abroad, traveler who wants immersion, and someone restarting a dormant language - who need affordable, stress-free practice.
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.

There are two main types: low-level languages like machine language using 1s and 0s that are easy for computers to understand but hard for humans, and high-level languages like Python and Java that use words and symbols humans can understand but require compilation. Low-level languages interact directly with hardware while high-level languages are portable, easier to execute but less efficient in memory usage. High-level languages are more commonly used today.

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.
