Microsoft Japan’s Four-Day Working Week Experiment Boosted Productivity By 40%
by Cameron FrewFour days at work, three days off, full salary: Microsoft employees in Japan had a good summer.
During August this year, Microsoft Japan tried out an experiment. Dubbed the Work-Life Choice Challenge Summer 2019, all 2,300 employees were given five Fridays off in a row without any decrease in pay.
As a result, the tech giant yielded some major benefits: electricity costs fell by 23%, but most importantly of all, productivity was boosted by a massive 40%.
Due to the longer weekend, 59% fewer pages of paper were printed during the trial. Meeting times were also cut from 60 minutes to 30, with online discussions being encouraged as an alternative to face-to-face; Microsoft Japan previously said in a blog post there was often no reason for meetings to run an hour.
Microsoft Japan president and CEO Takuya Hirano said in a statement:
Work a short time, rest well and learn a lot. I want employees to think about and experience how they can achieve the same results with 20% less working time.
Unsurprisingly, the company’s workers were fans – the Work-Life Choice Challenge 2019 Summer experiment was popular with 92% of the staff it surveyed after the trial.
While the experiment was just a pilot project and there’s no indication whether they will adopt a four-day week, there are plans to implement another iteration of the challenge this winter.
As reported by The Guardian, a Microsoft spokesman said:
In the spirit of a growth mindset, we are always looking for new ways to innovate and leverage our own technology to improve the experience for our employees around the globe.
This isn’t the first time a four-day week has proved to be a positive change. In 2018, New Zealand trust management company Perpetual Guardian held a similar trial.
The company found it sparked a 20% rise in employee productivity and a 45% increase in employee work-life balance. Last October, the company decided to permanently adopt the policy.
A 2017 survey suggested employees across a quarter of Japanese companies were working more than 80 hours overtime a month, often unpaid.
While a four-day week is a popular desire particularly among young people, a report commissioned by the Labour Party in September this year says it may not be ‘realistic’.
While the report, conducted by cross-bench peer Robert Skidelsky, agreed it would be ‘good for material and spiritual well-being’, the policy the party is considering would allegedly not be ‘realistic or even desirable’.
Who to believe – the report saying we should work more, or an experiment saying we should work less? Yeah, that’s a tricky one…
After graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University with an NCTJ and BCTJ-accredited Multimedia Journalism degree, Cameron ventured into the world of print journalism at The National, while also working as a freelance film journalist on the side, becoming an accredited Rotten Tomatoes critic in the process. He’s now left his Scottish homelands and took up residence at UNILAD as a journalist.

Welcome to the Bronze league!
In Bronze, you can now use MINES. There won't be any additional rules.At the beginning of the game, you'll receive a full 15×15 map that indicates the position of the islands. You will then decide and reply where you want your submarine's starting position to be.
This is a turn-based game: each player plays a turn one after the other. The whole game lasts
During your turn, thanks to your radio frequency analysis, you will receive an indication of what your opponent has done. For example, you can receive that it moved to the north. It's up to you to use this valuable information to detect where the opponent actually is.
During your turn, you must perform at least one action.
Actions are your turn's output. They are provided sequentially, on a single line. You can chain several of them using a pipe symbol
But you can use each type of action only once per turn. For example you can
Move
A move action has two effects:
When you move, you must respect the following rules:
Powers
For each move action you take, you have to decide what special power to charge. The special powers are performed by different devices, who require a different amount of energy to be ready.
The energy levels are separate per device, not shared. The amounts of energy needed to activate a device are also distinct per device.
A device's energy is fully consumed when that device's power is used. The energy level cannot grow above that device's requirement for one use of the power.
You can charge the torpedo, the sonar, the silence mode and mines.
Surface
The surface action will reset your path of visited cells, so that you can freely move to a cell that you have previously visited. But surfacing has major impacts: your opponent will know in which sector you are surfacing, and you will loseTorpedo
The torpedo action requires an energy level ofExplosions
When a torpedo or a mine explodes on a water cell, any submarine present on that cell and its 8 neighbors suffers a loss of hit points. The damage is
Explosions damage your opponent's submarine and yours indiscriminately. They have no effect on anything else (mines, islands).
Sonar
The sonar action requires an energy level of
The response will be provided to you in your next turn's input. Careful! Said response is in respect to the time you issued the order, so the opponent will have issued and performed orders of its own by the time you receive it.
Silence
The silence action requires an energy level ofMine
The mine action requires an energy level ofTrigger
The trigger action will cause a mine to explode. You can only trigger your own mines.| Your action | Shown to opponent | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| The opponent will not see which power is charged. | ||
| The opponent will see which sector (in this case: |
||
| The opponent will see the same order you issued. | ||
| The opponent will see the same order you issued. | ||
| The opponent will see that you moved silently—but not where or how far. | ||
| The opponent will see that you placed a mine—but not in which direction. | ||
| The opponent will see the same order you issued. |


Running Spyrelets¶
To run a written spyrelet, first make sure spyre is activated by looking for (spyre) on the left side of cmd. If not, activate spyre:
activate spyre
Note
Sometimes, your path will not be set to envs and the above command will not work. In this case, look for the environment:
conda list envs
After finding the path the spyre environment, activate it with “activate” followed by the full path to the spyre env.
If spyre is not installed, refer to Installation.
Navigate to your code path, and go to ~/code/spyre/testing. To run the spyrelet, (let the spyrelet name be “example”):
python main.py example
The spyrelet name must be passed into the argument of main.py.

Crate portaudio[src]
Rust-PortAudio
Portaudio bindings for Rust
PortAudio provides a uniform application programming interface (API) across all supported platforms. You can think of the PortAudio library as a wrapper that converts calls to the PortAudio API into calls to platform-specific native audio APIs. Operating systems often offer more than one native audio API and some APIs (such as JACK) may be available on multiple target operating systems. PortAudio supports all the major native audio APIs on each supported platform.
Installation
You must install on your computer the Portaudio libraries who is used for the binding.
Portaudio is available with package management tools on Linux, or brew on Mac OS.
You can download it directly from the website : portaudio
Then clone the repo and build the library with the following command at the root of the rust-portaudio repository.
rust-portaudio is build with the rustpkg tool :
> rustpkg build portaudio

Please install TerminusDB and have it running. TerminusDB just needs to be running, you will not be using the console right now, so you can just minimize it.
Once TerminusDB is running, add the DB and Schema.
$ npm run initdb
><EMAIL_ADDRESS>initdb /home/dk/Work/TerminusDB/terminusdb-todoapp
> node util/initdb.js
# checking db
# creating db
# checking schema
# creating schema
# add todo1
# add todo2
# done
Now npm install and run the app.
$ npm install && npm run dev
[...miles of scrolling console spew...]
Your application is ready~! 🚀
- Local: http://localhost:5000
- Network: Add `--host` to expose
────────────────── LOGS ──────────────────
You can access the Todo app on http://<IP_ADDRESS>:5000 and, you know, do stuff.
Ok, so how does that all work?
We’ll spare you the details of npm and Svelte. Please see the excellent documentation from those projects to learn more. We will focus on the TerminusDB stuff here.
Using Svelte we created a JavaScript Single Page Application (SPA) that implements the specifications of TodoMVC, a project used to compare frontend frameworks.
The SPA runs in the browser and uses TerminusDB as the backend, as TerminusDB is a database for the web, no intermediary backend server is needed. The frontend can connect directly with the database using RESTful HTTP and the TerminusDB JavaScript SDK
So, how does that initdb bit do its thing?
We will only give a few important examples from the initdb script here, you can see the entire script with comments here: util/initdb.js
Create Database
First we use the JavaScript SDK to connect to the Database.
const Client = require('@terminusdb/terminusdb-client')
const DB = new Client.WOQLClient('https://<IP_ADDRESS>:6363/',
{ user: 'admin', key: 'root' })
DB.organization('admin')
DB.connect()
.then(() => hasDB())
.catch(error => console.log('error', error))
Once it’s connected, we call a function called hasDB
which creates a database called TodoMVC
.
DB.createDatabase('TodoMVC', {
label: 'TodoMVC',
comment: 'DB for TodoMVC backend',
schema: true
}, 'admin').then(() => hasSchema())
When the database has been created the function hasSchema
is called.
Create Schema
In order to make our code a little more concise, we can set our DB to TodoMVC
and create a constant Q
for Client.WOQL
, which will help us build queries.
DB.db('TodoMVC')
const Q = Client.WOQL
Now we can use our connected DB
and our query builder Q
to create a schema for the database.
DB.query(Q
.doctype('Todo')
.label('Todo')
.description('Things To Do')
.property('title', 'xsd:string').cardinality(1)
.property('completed', 'xsd:boolean').cardinality(1)
).then(response => addExamples())
Here we created our schema, which is a Todo
document type that has two properties, a string title
and a boolean completed
. Both have a cardinality
of 1
, which means that each Todo
can only have 1 of each property, for example a single Todo
can not have two titles or zero titles, but must have one.
Once the Todo
document type is created, the function addExamples
is called.

DB.query(Q
.add_triple('doc:todo1', 'type', 'scm:Todo')
.add_triple('doc:todo1', 'title',
Q.literal('Taste TerminusDB', 'string'))
.add_triple('doc:todo1', 'completed',
Q.literal(true, 'boolean'))
So above is how we add an example Todo to the database, by adding triples.
Triples
Now, what in tarnation is a triple? Well, in TerminusDB everything. It’s all triples. Triples all the way down.
Formally, a triple is a fact that includes a subject, a predicate, and an object.
The subject tells us what thing this fact refers to, in our case that thing is a document in our database called doc:todo1
.
The predicate tells us what this fact tells you about the thing you are referring to. So in our case, we have three predicates:type
tells us what kind of document doc:todo1
is, title
tells us what the title is, and a completed
value that tells us if it has been completed or not.
The object is the value of the predicate for this subject.
So the object ‘scm:Todo
’ is a Todo document type, The object ‘Taste TerminusDB
’ is a string that containing the title, and the object false is a boolean that means that it is not completed.
This language is handed down to us by the venerable creators of RDF and OWL, standards that TerminusDB uses internally, but those of us who don’t care about these things can think of a triple in a simpler way.
Think of a triple as an object, a property, and a value. So, each triple assigns a value to a particular property of an object, with the value also being an object. So subject just means this object, predicate is a property name, and object is the value of this property on the subject.
Looking at the query above, we add three triples, one that assigns a type to our Todo, another that assigns a title, and another that assigns the completed value.
So for us to tell the DB to add a Todo with the title “Taste TerminusDB” that is not completed, we add the three triples above.
The Q.literal
bits are how we cast values. Properties in TerminusDB have many more possible types of values than JavaScript has.
Thinking in terms of triples is one of the two major differences in how Terminators think compared to users of relational or document-based databases. The other is unification. That’s a real head trip, and we’ll cover that in the next section.
Ok, we created the DB and an example Todo, but how does the app work?
Once again, we will just cover some important examples, you can find the complete script here src/terminusdb.js
Also, the JavaScript SDK has convenience functions that allow you to interact with documents and their properties in a simpler way, often like other graph or document databases, we will not use these. We’re not trying to be mean or anything, we just really want you to understand this triple business, oh, and unification, more on that in a bit.
In the terminusdb.js module, we export 6 functions, state, create, alter, remove, toggle
and clear
. These functions are used by the Svelte app to read from and write to the database.
I’ll explain state
and toggle
Reading from the Database
The state function returns all the Todo documents in the database, it works like this.
DB.query(Q
.triple('v:Doc', 'type', 'scm:Todo')
.triple('v:Doc', 'scm:title', 'v:Title')
.triple('v:Doc', 'scm:completed', 'v:Completed')
).then((response) => {
callback(null,
response.bindings.map(item => ({
id: item.Doc,
title: item.Title['@value'],
completed: item.Completed === 'system:unknown'
? false
: item.Completed['@value'] === 'true'
}))
)
})
Oh, we love triples.
Unification
So, we’ve covered add_triple above when we created our database and added an example Todo
, we now we are querying for existing triples, and we are doing so using, you guessed it, unification.
The subject in our triple statements above is always v:Doc
. This is a variable.
In our first triple statement, we are saying we don’t know what this value is. So, the database will solve for all possible values of this subject that match the predicate and object.
The predicate is type
and the object is scm:Todo
. So the first triple statement will solve for all triples in the database that have the type scm:Todo
. Simply, this means that it returns all the Todos
in the database.
Our SDK uses a fluent style, so the query continues with the next triple statement, which says that for each possible value of v:Doc
from the previous statement, find a triple that has the same subject and a predicate of scm:title
(think property called title) and assign the object (think the value of the property) to the variable v:Title
.
The next triple statement does the same thing but for the predicate scm:completed
.
So, all told, this is a way of saying find all of our Todos
and get the title and completed properties for them too.
We then take look at all the results and map them to an array of JavaScript objects with id, title and completed as properties. The Todo app uses this array for its state.
Unification happened here, but it’s subtle, so let’s not let it slip by without comment. Understanding what happened unlocks the power of logic!
Most of us developers think in terms of inputs and outputs. Functions have arguments, which are inputs, and return something, which is an output.
Triple statements are not functions, and the three values are not arguments. You construct a query by chaining statements, you tell the database what you know, and it returns all possible solutions based on what you know and what is found in the database.
Ok, so before you think I’m wasting your time with profound sounding bullshit, let me give you some more examples that are not used in this app.
Say we know the document Id of a Todo, say doc:todo1
, but want to know it’s title, this means we know the subject,doc:todo1
and the predicate scm:title
, but not the object, the string which contains the title
So we say this:
triple('doc:todo1','scm:title','v:Doc')
The solution to this statement will bind the string which contains the title to the variablev:Doc
So, the first two “arguments” (they’re not arguments), are kinda like arguments, and the third “argument” is kinda like a return value (it’s not a return value).
Now, say we know we have a Todo
with the title “Taste TerminusDB”, but we don’t know the document Id.
Now we say this:
triple('v:Doc','scm:title','Taste TerminusDB')
Now the databases solves this statement such that the variable v:Doc
contains the document Id of the Todo with the title ‘Taste TerminusDB’
Woah, right?
You might want to jump into the TerminusDB console and try these two queries. If you haven’t yet deleted the Todo
with the document Id doc:todo1
and the title
“Taste TerminusDB” the queries will work if you just copy and paste them in.
It feels like the inputs and outputs just move around. But it’s more complicated than that. These are not inputs and outputs, they are statements and solutions.
You say what you know and the database finds all possible solutions where your statement is true.
A few of you are saying, oh, like in Prolog. Well, yeah, like in Prolog, but let’s explain some more.
So a TermunisDB query chains many statements, and the database finds all solutions where all the statements are true, and as variables are solved for, those variables are bound and available to the next statements.
Stay with me here, this is where it really gets trippy.
Writing to the Database
Let’s take a look at another function from terminusdb.js
, the toggle
function. This function is given a boolean value passed as data.completed
and sets all completed
on all Todos
to this value.
This is the query that is used:
DB.query(Q
.triple('v:Doc', 'completed', Q.literal(!data.completed, 'boolean'))
.delete_triple('v:Doc', 'completed', Q.literal(!data.completed, 'boolean'))
.add_triple('v:Doc', 'completed', Q.literal(data.completed, 'boolean'))
)
So, let’s say that the toggle
function was called with data completed having a value of true
.
The first triple statement solves for all subjects (all Todos
in our case) into a database with a predicate completed
with an object (think value) that is false
(!data.completed
), and then binds the document d of each of these to the variable v:Doc
.
We now have a list of all Todos that are not completed so we can set them to be completed.
The next statement, delete_triple, receives all the document Ids from the first statement and deletes each of them. Remember that one triple is a property here, so it’s not deleting the Todo
, just it’s completed
property. Also note that because our Schema has a cardinality of 1 for completed
, if we our query only had these two statements it would fail, because a Todo
can not have zero titles, but since we add completed with the value true(data.completed)
in the third statement, an add_triple
, the query is successful.
This is a demonstration of unification. The value of ‘v:Doc’ is solved for all subjects where completed is false, this value is available for all subsequent statements. Queries far more powerful than what we need for a Todo app are possible, but let’s leave that for another time.
Another interesting thing about TerminusDB is that we can not change a triple, and even the delete just makes it invisible in the current revision. It’s an append-only database, this is what makes revision control and time-travel through the data history possible. There is in fact an update_triple
convenience function in the SDK that you can use to make your code more concise, but it’s just doing more or less the above under the hood.
Meditate on triples and unification. It is the path to Terminatordom.
You are now ready to dive into the source code and play in the TerminusDB console. Feel free to come to our Discord server we’d love to help you and get your feedback.
So, I guess this is just hypothetical, you wouldn’t really build a Todo app with TerminusDB?
Well, not so fast. Certainly, you don’t need TerminusDB to make a TodoMVC example, just dumping objects into the browser’s local storage would do just fine. And it’s true that most users of TerminusDB today are using it in DataOps/MLops scenarios, where data scientists and analysts are involved. Its roots are very much in being a database for data people.
However, if you wanted to really disrupt the Todo industry with a breakthrough app, then yeah, you would want to use TerminusDB for your Todo app.
For one, it’s schema control keeps your data in good shape, it’s RESTful HTTP API makes it easy to use from any stack, even a frontend web stack.
However, what will really accelerate your development are it’s collaboration features. The ability to clone, fork, branch and merge data, and the fact that you have revision control means that so much hard stuff becomes easy.
Take for example, adding an undo feature. With a normal database, you need to build your own versioning into your data model, turning rows into journals. With TerminusDB you have versioning out of the box, you can just revert a commit and viola, you have undo, and redo, and you even have proof for your compliance officer that the data changed in a specific order, and when and by whom all changes where made.
Now imagine you want to add a workflow to your Todo app. Like a Todo gets assigned by a manager, done by an assignee and confirmed complete by a different manager.
Once again, with another database this workflow would need to be added to your data model, you would need to add fields and classes or tables to contain what workflow stage each todo was in, and if the workflow changed, as it always does in the real world, sometimes from the task, your data model would also need to change, this becomes brittle fast.
With TerminusDB you could model your workflow with branches, where assignments could be added to a managers branch, merged into an assignees branch, then merged into an approvers branch, etc. Branches could be made for ad-hoc situations that required a different workflow, and none the less all Todos could eventually be merged into a common “done” branch, all with no workflow in the data model itself.
Say you had some clever data scientists that wanted to do some predictive analytics on your todos, you would need to give them access to your production database and risk them degrading the performance of your site with their queries, or even bringing it down with some late night fat fingering. With TerminusDB and TerminusHub they could just clone or fork their own copy of the data, merge in new updates whenever they like, and even push back changes if they somehow enrich the data.
And last but not least, there are the issues covered in Continuous Everything as Code, your devs may be changing your schema, and sometimes your data with each revision of the software that powers your app, and these changes need to go down your integration and deployment pipeline, yet other databases don’t work well with ci/cd. TerminusDB and TerminusHub make it much easier to clone, fork, and merge databases to create development, staging and production environments and push changes between them.
Surely, whether you are building an ML/AI Skynet, or a humble productivity app, content site or e-shop, all these benefits are worth the effort to learn to think in triples.
Venture Communist.

Dungeon Crawler is a simple (but rapidly growing more complex) roguelike game, written in Python, and utilizing the Doryen library (libtcod). As far as roguelikes go, its fairly complete, and relatively true to its origins (or at least it will be, there are things like some mouse controls I would like to remove eventually). You are cast as an adventurer, trekking through a perilous dungeon in search of…something (haven’t added an end game yet). Along the way, you will encounter fearsome monsters, find magical treasures, and prove your worth as the greatest adventurer of all time.
The game is still a work in progress, but all the sources can be found on github. I’m actively developing on the game, as there are quite a few features that still want to add. I’ve outlined a roadmap for the game below, so you can get an idea of where I would like to take the game (eventually).

Hey there! You're probably reading this documentation site because you want to do something related with the Student Server Space, and that sounds awesome! Here, we have pages that tell you how to submit a project, deploy a project, manage the server, and everything in between. Plus, you'll find a set of policies and guidelines that make clear what's allowed on the Student Server Space, and what isn't. You can find all of this information on your sidebar. We'll also answer some common questions about SSS.
The Student Server Space is a set of resources and a community to help student developers grow. In particular, there are two features that are discussed in this documentation. Firstly, student developers can submit a project to SSS for it to be featured on the SSS website. This gives projects more exposure, and can also invite others to help develop the project. Secondly, student developers can deploy a project to an SSS webserver. This allows students to get a domain and hosting for free, which is often expensive for students to accquire. To do either of these actions requires a set of restrictions, which is outlined in our code and content policies.
If you want to use SSS, I suggest you check out our submission and deployment guides, which walk you through the process of making your own projects!
If you're just wondering about the technology behind SSS, we'll get back to you on that.
We're human, and we make mistakes too! If you think something's wrong with our documentation, or with our website in general, send us an issue on GitHub.
Awesome! You can check out our GitHub organisation to see all of the tools we use for this system, or work on this website's repository. Once you've finished some work, send us a pull request, and we'll look over your changes, and either approve them, or give you feedback.

Your resume is your personal summary sheet.  So, there’s a few things you should do (and not do) to make it as awesome as you are.
Your name has to stand out from everything else, because you want it to be remembered. Making it the biggest thing on the page is the easiest thing you can do to make that possible. I’ve seen soooo many resumes where the name is at the top, but it’s just bolded and centered and they expect that to be enough. It’s not.
Nobody looks at the objective. Nobody. I personally spoke to a bunch of recruiters from various companies and they all said that they never look at them. Use that space to talk about projects you’ve done, activities you’ve done, etc.
Recruiters are looking for a short summary of you. They’re reading several resumes a day, and if they see something longer than they typically read, they could pass over yours for something more concise! If you’d like to say more, put a link to a personal website or portfolio for someone to find it. A resume is a summary, not a tome.
I know that lifeguarding in high school was a good gig that helped you gain people skills and attention to detail. But you’re in tech. That doesn’t matter as much to tech companies. Sorry, buddy. I still think you’re great with people. When you’re a first semester freshman, it’s okay to have old high school stuff on there, just because it’s less likely that you have other things to put on your resume. But as soon as you have a college GPA to work with, a club or two, and some volunteer experiences to replace that, do it.
When an application reviewer (engineer, recruiter, or otherwise) is looking over your resume, don’t make it difficult for them to understand who you are and what you know.
For example, if you have online profiles like GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, or even your own personal website, put it on your resume. Don’t make them have to search long and hard for you online if they want to know more!
 Nobody knows what that means. And nobody is going to go to your university’s website to find out exactly what CS229 is. Put down the course titles instead!
And finally, put down your graduation date. So many students I’ve seen don’t put it on there because they are hiding the fact that they’re a freshman, or they’re “technically a junior if you count the credits.” That doesn’t matter. Trust me. Just put down your graduation date so that the company knows how much experience you have, and how soon they can potentially pull you in for full-time.
Companies aren’t allowed to ask about your religion, marital status, or race/ethnicity, so you shouldn’t include that.
In terms of contact information: you don’t need your mailing address. That is a thing of the past. Just like my youth. Tech companies email, and maybe call. That’s all you need! Some great things that you might also want to put on there are your personal website (if you have one, which you should), your GitHub profile (if you have one, which you should), and your LinkedIn (if you have one, which you should).
Though there’s some who might disagree, you should include your GPA. If your major GPA is significantly higher than your overall GPA, you might want to consider having both. When you have graduated and have a full-time job, you won’t need it as much. But at this point in your beautiful life, keep it in there. Some companies care about GPA more than others, so you might as well play it safe and have it there.
Your cover letter is your written sales pitch. You’ve got a resume that summarizes everything. Now you have to write out a more complete, professional description of you and what you can offer a given company. Here’s a sample cover letter to get you started:
Dear **_**,
I hope your day is going well! My name is **_**, and I’m a **_** at **_**. I am very interested in working for **_** next **_**. Your commitment to **_** and **_** that I saw on the website inspired me! The products you build and the values you stand for make **_** seem like an ideal workplace for me.
A little about me, I [insert relevant work experience, extracurriculars, and projects here]. I think these experiences would make me a great candidate for you.
Please let me know if there’s anything else you need from me. I look forward to hearing from you! I can be reached at **_** and **_**.
Best regards,
Now, remember, this is just a sample. You can write a cover letter in any format you’d like. But, you should be sure to include the following:
When you’re internship/job hunting, it’s very easy to feel down if you don’t hear back from companies, an interview goes poorly, or you start comparing yourself to people. It’s a tough field we’re going into.
So. I won’t spend much time on this. But I want to emphasize something: You’re brilliant. You’re in this field for a reason.  So many opportunities will come your way if you just keep working hard and refining your skills.
Mark Twain once said, “Comparison is the death of joy.” When you start to compare your skills to others, it’s hard to not feel as good about your own, or to get a little too competitive about your work. Work hard and don’t let others get you down. It’s remarkable how significantly that can improve both your work and your interviewing experience!
When you’re talking to companies and recruiters at career fairs and hackathons and over the phone, be confident, not arrogant. Be grateful for the opportunity they’re giving you, and smile! A great attitude will take you VERY far.
Obviously, your skills are what a company is buying from you when they hire you. So, honing in those skills and presenting them in an effective way is probably the most important thing in getting a gig.
Chances are, if you’ve had a data structures and/or algorithms class, you’re already going to do pretty well in the technical interviews. That is, if you can recall the information you learned.
Here’s a checklist of things that you should probably be prepared to know in a technical interview:
This guide isn’t for teaching you these skills. But there are several guides, problem sets, and practice systems out there that can help.

Here’s some books that might also be useful.
Typically, for an internship or your first job, questions won’t get much more specific unless you’re applying for a specific role. For example, if I wanted to be a mobile intern, I might be asked iOS/Android/Windows Phone specific questions, or if I wanted to be a web intern, I might be asked HTML/CSS/JavaScript questions, or if I wanted to be a backend intern, I might be asked about Django or Node or Ruby on Rails. That definitely depends on the company, and what you’re both looking for.
Make sure you’re able to implement and use the above data structures without the assistance of an IDE. Typically, onsite technical interviews involve coding on paper or a whiteboard, and phone/video interviews usually involve some kind of collaborative text editor. Yes, that means you won’t have access to auto-complete, auto-compiling, or the internet to check for errors. So be ready for that!
When you’re actively emailing and speaking with recruiters, they’re going to ask you a lot of questions that are just checkboxes for what they’re looking for in terms of skills.
If you’ve written anything in a language before, put it on your resume. A lot of companies have parsers that look for specific things that, again, will put a tick on those checkboxes before putting you through to the next round of review.  You don’t want to be thrown into an interview that will only hurt your self-confidence. Speaking from experience. Trust me.
When a recruiter or engineer is asking you about a certain project you’ve done, or how you’ve used a particular language, be as specific as possible. Tell them exactly what you did on that particular project (or internship or what have you). Tell them how much you contributed, what languages you used, how long was the duration of development for that project, what was the outcome of the project, etc. etc.
For example, don’t say, “I’m the webmaster for a club website. Next question.” Okay, Dwight Schrute. Go back to your beet farm. Instead, say something more like this: “I developed and currently maintain the website for my university’s computer science club. I built it from the ground up with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery on the front-end. It’s a static site, so a backend wasn’t needed. The website’s main function is to promote the club and give members crucial updates about meetings and events, and I update it regularly via a Python script I wrote.”  Let me hire you.
When you’re talking to companies about specific things you’ve done, make sure they know:
Hey friends! This is a guide for getting a gig in college as a tech major. I graduated May 2014 with 10 job offers after having 5 internships throughout my four years of college. You can do that, too. Because you’re great.
Your resume is your personal summary sheet.  So, there’s a few things you should do (and not do) to make it as awesome as you are.
Your name has to stand out from everything else, because you want it to be remembered. Making it the biggest thing on the page is the easiest thing you can do to make that possible. I’ve seen soooo many resumes where the name is at the top, but it’s just bolded and centered and they expect that to be enough. It’s not.
Nobody looks at the objective. Nobody. I personally spoke to a bunch of recruiters from various companies and they all said that they never look at them. Use that space to talk about projects you’ve done, activities you’ve done, etc.
Recruiters are looking for a short summary of you. They’re reading several resumes a day, and if they see something longer than they typically read, they could pass over yours for something more concise! If you’d like to say more, put a link to a personal website or portfolio for someone to find it. A resume is a summary, not a tome.
I know that lifeguarding in high school was a good gig that helped you gain people skills and attention to detail. But you’re in tech. That doesn’t matter as much to tech companies. Sorry, buddy. I still think you’re great with people. When you’re a first semester freshman, it’s okay to have old high school stuff on there, just because it’s less likely that you have other things to put on your resume. But as soon as you have a college GPA to work with, a club or two, and some volunteer experiences to replace that, do it.
When an application reviewer (engineer, recruiter, or otherwise) is looking over your resume, don’t make it difficult for them to understand who you are and what you know.
For example, if you have online profiles like GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, or even your own personal website, put it on your resume. Don’t make them have to search long and hard for you online if they want to know more!
 Nobody knows what that means. And nobody is going to go to your university’s website to find out exactly what CS229 is. Put down the course titles instead!
And finally, put down your graduation date. So many students I’ve seen don’t put it on there because they are hiding the fact that they’re a freshman, or they’re “technically a junior if you count the credits.” That doesn’t matter. Trust me. Just put down your graduation date so that the company knows how much experience you have, and how soon they can potentially pull you in for full-time.
Companies aren’t allowed to ask about your religion, marital status, or race/ethnicity, so you shouldn’t include that.
In terms of contact information: you don’t need your mailing address. That is a thing of the past. Just like my youth. Tech companies email, and maybe call. That’s all you need!

When you’re talking to companies about specific things you’ve done, make sure they know:
Your skills are something that you have, and the reason why you have them is because you’ve used them in some way. All you have to do to prove yourself is to explain yourself! No need to go overboard and brag. Just be honest, and confident.
You have a resume and cover letter in hand, and you have the skills to make anyone want you. Now, you just have to find the right gig for you.
When you’re on the hunt for a great internship or first job, the events you go to can really set you apart, and will help you meet people that could potentially help you in the long run.
The biggies that you will definitely run into are:
So, how do you find these events? They’re happening all the time, you just need to know where to look. Firstly, ask people in the field. Talk to a mentor, a fellow student, a professor, a colleague… anyone could come through for you! I remember my first tech event I went to in college was because I ran into a guy that I met orientation day. And now he and I are coworkers. Fancy that. Anyway, people can get you very far.
Otherwise, when people don’t work, we always have the glorious internet leading the way. There’s so many resources out there I definitely can’t list them all. So I’ll list just a few.
Like I mentioned before, there’s a lot of resources out there for finding events. Now that you have places to go to, what do you do there? WHAT A CLEVER SEGUE.
The whole point of going to events (besides learning something, of course) is to network. Meeting and maintaining relationships with people in this industry is essential.
So, how do you just network with people? How do you make it as natural as eating pie on Pi Day? I’ll show you, Bert.
First of all, don’t think of it as networking. You don’t want to get the heebie-jeebies. Think of it as meeting people who like what you like. When you’re at these events, you’ll occasionally see groups of people staying in their own groups, not often reaching out to others. You’re not going to do that. You’re going to be a professional, social butterfly.
Follow generally these steps (as casually or formally as the event calls for) when networking:
Introduce yourself. This seems obvious, but you’d be surprised how often people just sort of slide into a conversation without ever actually providing anyone with their name or title.
Make small talk about tech. Again, an obvious tip, but important. You want to know what this person’s skills are, and you want them to know yours. Someday, they might be looking for someone to help them on a project in a language that you know, or vice-versa. Get the important details out in the open about each other so that not only you can remember each other, but you can help each other out in the future. And don’t forget to have fun with it!
Exchange contact information. If you have no way of finding the person you’re talking to again, and they don’t have a way of finding you, then you’re just wasting a potentially valuable connection. Whether you give them a business card or an email address, or even a Twitter handle, keep that information!
Follow-up. This is probably the most important thing I will tell you in this whole guide. Hence the bold letters. So pretty. Anyway. Following up is the guaranteed way of leaving an impression with someone. Whether you email or tweet or InMail or Facebook message or pigeon mail, just sending a simple, “it was nice to meet you!” message is absolutely vital when it comes to networking. I’ve actually heard stories of people changing their mind about hiring someone based on a follow-up message. And following up doesn’t stop at the “nice to meet you” message. At some point down the line, it’s great practice to send a “how are you doing?” message to someone you’re interested in maintaining a relationship with. For all three of my mentors that I had in college (and to this day), the way we built our relationship was through these sorts of follow-up messages. Do them.
Networking is about building relationships, and what you can do with those relationships is up to you. But we’re talking about getting a job. So let’s move on to one of the best ways of getting one, with these relationships.
Referrals are your in. If you can get a referral from an employee of the company you’re applying for, that’s money. It pushes you towards the top of the pile of resumes that they’re getting every single day. Using the relationships you’ve built from networking, all it takes is a simple ask! You can get a referral from current employees, former ones, interns, former interns, friends of engineers, acquaintances of recruiters… really, anyone who is connected with the company. If they have a job posting up for a given position, they are looking around for engineers just as much as you’re looking around for a great gig! The company knows that they’re going to be speaking with someone potentially really good (because they were recommended by someone trusted), and you get to speak to a company for whom you want to work. Having a referral is a win for both parties.
Asking for a referral really depends on your relationship with the referrer. If you know them in a strictly business setting, you might want to send them a more professional request. But if you know the referrer pretty well, chances are you know how to ask for a favor. One thing that you must remember though is to, again, follow up! If you haven’t heard back from your referrer, reach out and check on your status. If they let you know that you’re in the system, be gracious and take them for coffee or something. Common courtesy. You’ve got this.
A lot of people are fans of cold calling, which is making unsolicited contact with a person at a company and hoping for something good to come of it. I admit, I’m not one of those people. Seems spammy. But, I’ll tell you about some ways to do that anyway, to make your cold calls as potentially successful as possible.
First of all, you should have an email for someone at the company you’re looking at. You could ask around your network for contact information for a given person, or you could just go out on a limb and test some emails to see if they’re valid. A lot of companies have fairly standard email address templates<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for example), so you can just keep sending a few until you find a legitimate one. If you need names to test out, you can scour LinkedIn or the company’s website to try and find something that works.
Once you have a legitimate email on your hands, get to work on making a personalized message to them. Emphasis on the personal. When you’re cold calling, you can’t have just any standard email template where you stick in the company’s name where it fits. You have to clearly let the person know why you’re writing, from where you got their information (if it’s not just a random guess, of course), why you would be a good fit for the company (where you will sell those awesome skills of yours), and why you think the company is great. Essentially, you’re writing a glorified cover letter.
When the email has been sent, you’re done. If you haven’t heard back in a week or two, send a follow-up, but if they still haven’t replied after that, chances are they won’t reply at all. And that’s okay. It happens. That’s the territory when it comes to cold calling.
Fellowships are a great way to network with a community and get valuable mentorship that will most certainly help you in the long run. They vary depending on the program, but typically you’ll get assigned a mentor or two, go to several events to network with professionals, and intern for a company that has partnered with the specific fellowship program.
Here’s a list of some example fellowship programs. This is by no means a complete list (feel free to send a pull request or file an issue if there’s another you’d like to be added), but it should get you started!
In addition to these fellowships, several companies offer special programs for younger students that are similarly geared towards learning and mentorship. Here’s another list that is not complete, but will get you started:
o overboard and brag. Just be honest, and confident.

The amount of gear you need to purchase before a baby arrives can seem exhaustive and confusing. A shopping list is definitely a must, as it can help you keep track of the baby supplies you've already purchased and the stuff you still need. From big purchases like nursery furniture and bottle-feeding equipment to smaller items like diapers and burp cloths, you can find everything you need for your new baby at Every Day Low Prices at Walmart. Here are some essentials to stock up on.
With all the adorable styles on baby store racks, shopping for baby clothes is fun (and kind of addictive). But how many one-piece outfits do you really need? And when should you buy baby shoes? Learn what to pick up on your baby shopping sprees, and which baby products or clothes to put on your baby shower registry.
Your baby will probably spend more time in the nursery than anywhere else, so it's wise to carefully select a crib, baby bedding, a changing table, and other baby furniture. Finding safe baby products is your most important task, and then you can consider style and affordability.
What do new moms and dads really want when it comes to baby gifts?

Upon successful payment, the user's subscriptionStatus will be set to 'active'. This allows the user to successfully call openDatabase on an app with payments enabled.
-
The user's credit card will be charged automatically at the start of every billing period. For example, if the user purchases a yearly subscription on May 4th, then the user will be charged on May 4th every year until they cancel.
-
You can customize your Stripe Checkout form in your Stripe dashboard.

Elektra
0.9.3
|
First off: We created a survey questionnaire to gather more knowledge about the relevance of configuration systems. If you are involved in the development of free and open source software (FLOSS) you are the person we are looking for.
It would be a great help if you take this survey. It will be available till 18.07.2016 (anywhere on earth).
For every thoroughly and not anonymously finished survey € 40 cent will be donated to one of the following organizations of your choice:
The three main points relevant for most people are:
git commit
or log/notify when configuration files are changed.Read more about https://github.com/elektrainitiative/libelektra/tree/master/doc/WHY.md "Why using Elektra", which also contains since this release unique features, further reasons and limitations.
For a small demo see here
In this release starting developing Elektra gets easier:
ELEKTRA_DEBUG
adds run-time checks and makes stack traces as if Elektra would not use pluginsCMakeLists.txt
for plugins got simplified, in most cases it should be not more than calling a single function, even if unit tests and test data are presentFor details about ELEKTRA_DEBUG
and cmake, see individual points below.
There is now a fine collection of external scripts which can executed by kdb + <script>
. The new script kdb find-tools
provides full text search over the meta data as provided by the scripts.
kdb find-tools -b BRIEF
to search for a short text.kdb find-tools -a AUTHOR
to search for an author.kdb find-tools -d DATE
to search for a creation date.kdb find-tools -e EXECUTE
to search for a type.Developers should now https://github.com/elektrainitiative/libelektra/tree/master/scripts/README.md "add MetaData for their scripts.".
Thanks to Kurt Micheli!
Because of its POSIX support one might think it would be trivial to support macOS. Unfortunately there were many small issues, especially in the regular expression handling and the filesystem.
Nevertheless we finally fully support macOS and the newly added travis build server makes sure it will stay this way.
A huge thanks to Manuel Mausz and Mihael Pranjić for fixing the issues and setting up travis:

As part of the ongoing work of the bachelor thesis Integration of Elektra into the GNOME desktop environment
we now have experimental support for Elektra as a GSettings backend on Linux (We will look into getting macOS support on a later date). When installed, applications using GSettings default backend will write to Elektra below the /sw
key. The GSettings bindings are intended as a preview version so please do not use them in a production system.
To build the GSettings backend you have to explicitly add the binding even if ALL
is given. e.g. -DBINDINGS=gsettings
-DBINDINGS="ALL;gsettings"
All needed core functionality of a GSettings backend is already implemented. This includes notification support if you have your /sw
mounted with the dbus plugin.
Please report any bugs you encounter.
For further information regarding the status of the implementations please refer to the corresponding README and ticket.
Mounting now supports to mount commonly known names even if the name is not a plugin. If more than one plugin is available automatically the best one is selected. The selection process works by annotating different qualities of the plugins, see infos/status
in the README.md of individual plugins.
E.g. to mount a file using a json plugin (called yajl because of the library's name it build upon)
stores filtered keys internally so that they do not get accidentally lost and can be written to the storage again without the user having to remember including them in the writeout
The longer term goal is to add such global plugins per default, so that the usage of the API is easier.
For now you can simply add it using:
Thanks to Marvin Mall.
The Qt GUI receives new features and a better gnome integration. Its version number was updated to 0.0.12 (beta). Major features:
Bug fixes:
Other improvements:
elektra-qt-editor
binary so both the desktop files TryExec works and people not starting the gui trough kdb qt-gui
have a speaking name in their process list.Elektra Editor
with Elektra Qt Editor
so that we use the same name in all places apart from the tools binary.guisettings
. We also added a private function in guisettings
to get and set settings with a boolean value.Thanks to Gabriel Rauter and Raffael Pancheri for the engagement in improving qt-gui.
A big thanks to Gabriel Rauter for improving the user experience with the kdb tool. On errors and in kdb info
it was often quite hard to find the relevant text.
Now important parts are highlighted by bold or colorful text. This helps to spot the important information immediately without sacrificing information that would be important for a detailed analysis.
Every tool now has the option --color
and -C
which is set to auto
per default. By writing to:
one can go back to previous behavior.

API descriptionENABLE_DEBUG now enables a debug build for Elektra. It has nothing to do with debug symbols, but:
RTLD_NODELETE
)ENABLE_DEBUG
is recommended for every developer, even if you are not modifying Elektra itself. The assertions will give you hints on API misusage.
For example, keyNew
was known to be error-prone. ENABLE_DEBUG
now will report wrong parameters by an assertion.
The old options ELEKTRA_DEBUG
and ELEKTRA_VERBOSE
are not available anymore.
Thanks to:
RTLD_NODELETE
-DENABLE_DEBUG=ON
The constants plugin was updated to provide cmake/ENABLE_LOGGER
cmake/ENABLE_DEBUG
and will no longer provide cmake/ELEKTRA_DEBUG_BUILD

as it is not available in some *BSD
, thanks to Mihael PranjićAs always, the ABI and API is fully forward- and backward-compatible, i.e. programs compiled against an older 0.8 version of Elektra will continue to work (ABI) and you will be able to recompile every program without errors (API). This time you can even compile programs against 0.8.17 and run with 0.8.16.
For the qt-gui the svg module is added as dependency.
New and missing files in the installation:

Community payback order for Craigneuk man caught with knife and heroin in car park
The 22-year-old admitted the offences at Hamilton Sheriff Court
by Wishaw Press, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/wishaw-press/A Craigneuk man who was caught with a knife and heroin in a Wishaw street has avoided a prison sentence.
Connor Hamilton was instead ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid community work and attend substance misuse counselling.
He was also given a one-year supervision order when he appeared in the dock at Hamilton Sheriff Court last week.
Hamilton, 22, of Laurel Drive, admitted unlawful possession of a blade and heroin in Birkshaw Brae, Gowkthrapple, on March 25.
Scott King, prosecuting, said police officers were on patrol in the afternoon when they saw Hamilton in a car park near flats.
Mr King told the court: “On seeing the police, the accused placed his hands in his tracksuit bottoms, put his head down and walked away quickly.
“The officers were suspicious and detained him for a drugs search.
“He was asked if he had anything that could harm the officers and produced a lockback knife with an eight-inch blade.
“He also had a bag which contained £10 worth of heroin in a pocket of his fleece jacket.”
After studying a criminal justice social work report, Sheriff Shiona Waldron said she was prepared to impose a community order as an alternative to a prison sentence.
The community work order was cut from 300 hours to 200 because of Hamilton’s earlier guilty plea to the charges.
