We made a job scheduler and reporting tool for ourselves. And then it turned out to be too good to keep internal. So here it is. Named rpeat, because jobs repeat but it also repeats important details about your job's to you wherever you are. It is dead simple but feature rich, intuitive but powerful.
Software has become a major driver for research with over 90% of researchers answering surveys that they use software for their research and over 65% expressing that they even could not do their research without software. Science gateways are defined as collaborative environments that allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, educational materials, and other resources specific to their disciplines. Their goal is to remove the barriers to online content, computing and data infrastructures. SGX3 is the newly funded NSF Center of Excellence for Science Gateways serving the science gateway community from users to providers to developers. Mature science gateway frameworks enable developers to re-use building blocks for typical tasks such as invoking simulations or sharing data. This way, a ramp up of a science gateway can be more efficient and developers can focus on the unique aspects of a science gateway that is tailored to a specific community. Many frameworks such as Hubzero and Tapis are open source and can be further developed by the community. SGX3 offers services to the community from UX design to technical gap analysis to internship opportunities. The talk will go into detail for SGX3 and its services and examples for science gateways openly available.
This talk is for those who want to pierce the veil of abstraction and learn how their Python code is actually executed on a computer. First we will start with a guided overview of the Python Run Time envioronment in the CPython interpreter. Next will be an overview of the builtin inspect package and how it allows for direct access to the python runtime in your own Python code. After which I will show how you leverage this knowledge in PDB.
What is a JWT and why would I want to use one?
This talk will cover common use cases.
A deep dive into what actually happens when you're interfacing with gpio pins at the hardware and register level in micropython
How does the elipses work? Let's find out.
Eve and Ray embarked on a two week experiment they're calling a Learning Sprint. 4 hours a day, 5 days a week over two weeks they set goals and executed on them. What did they learn? Did it work? What fun facts did they pick up along the way? They'll explain in their thrilling talk for all skill levels.
Have you wondered how gestures are loaded into a computer?
Or are you questioning if transcribing our movements is even possible?
Well, it is possible... But not without its own unique set of problems.
This talk touches on everything in the transcription process from the client side to the server side.
So how did we do it?
We used Mediapipe's machine-learning neural net library to transcribe our movements and gestures to XYZ coordinates. We then created a web crawler to transcribe all of the data from the American Sign Language (ASL) website. We are in process of normalizing this data based on angles related to one another.
The next step of the process, transcribing live gestures and movements is still in development, so let's talk about it!
I will be presenting some of my current work using Python and Django to develop an open source program for professional students. This program enables students to easily peer-review and create a functioning deck of unique Anki flash cards without any prior programming experience. Anki is currently the most sought after open source flash card creation system by professional students. However due to a learning curve (and time) required to create a quality deck, many students still do not take advantage of this resource. This program seeks to change that. Come see and hear how!
AttributeError: property has no setter. But... I thought this was Python!
Let's have a talk about descriptors.
