Functional programming concepts like purity, immutability, and side effects can seem intimidating at first. However, they aim to make code more predictable by avoiding state mutations and ensuring the same output is always produced from the same inputs. Key concepts discussed include pure functions that are free of side effects; immutable objects whose state cannot change; partial application of fixing arguments; and currying of transforming functions to chains of functions that each take a single argument to enable easier composition of simple functions into more complex ones. Resources recommended for learning more include functional programming books and libraries like Ramda, RxJS, and Immutable.js.

CodeWeek - Explaining how to Code to 12 yr old kidsMike Miello
All around Europe, kids are learning to code understand how technology that we use everyday works. Coding provides an alternative approach to solving problems, exploring ideas and having fun.
As part of CodeWeek, I presented at the International School of Amsterdam. The kids were about 12 years old.
I talked about my experience making websites and how by knowing a little bit of code, how it's possible to have fun with any website.
A website can be built. And it can also be destroyed! ...well not really. But the kids really liked that word.
My personal findings: The kids are into Maroon 5, Will.I.Am and Lil Wayne. Boys and girls both love the word hacking. And everyone is texting at 12...I couldn't believe it!
CodeWeek is an initiative was launched by Neelie Kroes' Young Advisors with the support from DG Connect at the European Commission. Sounds fancier than it really is. We're just a bunch of young people with a dream of a world where all sort of crazy ideas are given a chance to change the world. But it's not really about us. (Source: http://codeweek.eu/about/)

Five Stages of Development - Nordic.jsRobert Nyman
The document discusses the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) according to the Kübler-Ross model. It relates these stages to the development of Firefox Developer Tools. It describes how Mozilla went through stages of denial, anger, and bargaining about the tools before reaching a stage of acceptance with a twist - deciding to improve the tools by soliciting feedback and implementing new features. This process led to increased usage of Firefox Developer Tools. The document advocates debugging apps across desktop, Android, and iOS using one tool - the Firefox Tools Adapter.
This document provides an overview of anonymity systems like Tor, I2P, and Freenet. It describes how Tor works by passing data through proxies to provide anonymity. It also discusses who uses Tor, such as whistleblowers and journalists seeking privacy. The document outlines the Tor project's finances and how it is funded by various organizations. It concludes by covering some attacks against Tor like traffic analysis and compromising relay nodes.
Tails Linux Operating System: The Amnesiac Incognito System in Times of High ...Maurice Dawson
After the information released by Edward Snowden, the world realized about the security risks of high surveillance from governments to citizens or among governments, and how it can affect the freedom, democracy and/or peace. Research has been carried out for the creation of the necessary tools for the countermeasures to all this surveillance. One of the more powerful tools is the Tails system as a complement of The Onion Router (TOR). Even though there are limitations and flaws, the progress has been significant and we are moving in the right direction.
TOR is software that allows for anonymous communication over the internet. It works by routing traffic through multiple nodes, obscuring the origin of the traffic. Reasons to use TOR include protecting anonymity, accessing sites that may be blocked in some regions, and conducting activities privately without third parties spying on users. The TOR project provides browser bundles and standalone proxy software to allow users to connect to the TOR network and browse anonymously with little configuration required.

TOR (The Onion Routing) is a free tool that allows anonymous use of the internet. It was developed by the US Naval Research Laboratory. TOR anonymizes internet traffic by routing it through several volunteer relays run by the TOR network, encrypting the traffic layer by layer and preventing others from seeing the user's IP address. Various groups use TOR including normal users, journalists, activists and law enforcement to maintain anonymity online, though the final link in the routing is not encrypted and slow network speeds are a limitation. Proper security measures must be taken when using TOR to ensure privacy is maintained.

An Introduction to pair programming methodsFrank Sons
Pair programming sounds simple, but there are a lot of different methods on how to do it, a lot of mistakes that can be made and it’s not always easy to get started. With this talk, I want to give an introduction to the different ways of pair programming, talk about some myths – and facts – and give you some ideas on how to get started. After this talk, you will know the difference between strong and traditional styles of pair programming and why most people do pair thinking rather than pair programming.

Programming languages allow humans to communicate with computers and come in many types that are constantly changing. Early computers included the Difference Engine and ENIAC. Von Neumann introduced key programming concepts. Grace Hopper created the first compiler. Popular early languages included Fortran, Cobol, and Lisp. C was developed by Dennis Ritchie and is widely used today. Object oriented programming organizes code around objects rather than actions. Modern languages like Java, Python, C++, Objective-C, Haskell, SQL, Javascript, Perl and more are used across industries for various applications. Intellectual property and licensing govern software ownership and use, while careers in programming span roles like programming, architecture, development and security.

A decompiler converts machine code executables back into human readable source code by performing the reverse process of a compiler. While decompilation has been debated as potentially infeasible, examples of decompilers that work on specific languages and architectures have been created. A generalized decompiler that can decompile any executable and generate recompilable source code would challenge current software intellectual property laws by proving that source code and executables are equivalent. The document outlines a proposed multi-phase development plan to create a universal decompiler that can decompile binaries across different operating systems and platforms and output code in various programming languages.
This document discusses security and privacy considerations for iOS application development. It describes how jailbreaking an iOS device removes restrictions like sandboxing and allows access to the entire filesystem. It also explains how private APIs, encrypted binaries, and app review processes can be bypassed to extract information from iOS apps and modify their behavior. While modification is difficult, metadata can be easily extracted from iOS and Android apps. The document encourages developers to understand platform internals and take a reasonable approach to security rather than a paranoid one.
Building an Open Source iOS app: lessons learnedWojciech Koszek
Building an Open Source iOS app: lessons learned
Dec 12, 2016, Hacker Dojo (Santa Clara), 6pm
In this talk I'm going to talk about lessons learned from building Sensorama (http://www.sensorama.org), an Open Source sensor platform for data science. The main theme of the talk will be Open Source: what is great about it, what is bad and how you must become a part of the Open Source community to really move quickly and benefit from it. For this project, I did both the code and the design, so you'll have a chance to see how solo-developer deals with time/feature constraints, which tools I've used and what my approach towards development in this mode is. In other words: I'll tell you what I did to stay sane. If the iOS development were a walk in a dark city park, this talk may turn out to be your flashlight.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
