This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 5 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you are still listening to me ramble about this project, thank you. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html To review, My project is to build a portable morse code "Keyer memory" which can be connected to any of my HF transceiver radios by simply plugging it in to the code key input port. Then I could transmit stored messages by simply touching their specific icon on the touch screen. I also want to be able to program each macro individually from the graphical user interface (GUI). To do this, I need to learn how to build a GUI. Most of the CYD resources I have been referencing recommend using Squareline Studio for GUI development on the CYD. Sadly, Squareline Studio is not open source. If any of you have experience with a good, open source alternative to Squareline Studio, please record a show to help the rest of us. Squareline does have a free trial and a free single user / single computer license, which I am using for this project. It will run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. After watching several videos about using the CYD with Squareline, I started to outline the functionality I needed. Squareline provides a wide range of pre-configured boards and interfaces to choose from, in addition to widgets and controls which you can drag onto your screens, and it will automatically generate the supporting code in the background. The initial page needs to have the macro buttons, with labels for the message they will send when pressed. There also needs to be navigation buttons to move from one page to others. Another important page will be the configuration page, where the user can store the contents of each macro and set the speed at which code will be sent. I would like to have a keyboard page where the user can type a custom message and send it. I made a few GUI sketches on post-it-notes, then I installed Squareline Studio on my Ubuntu laptop to start designing. There is a bit of a learning curve. Even with guide videos, I found the user experience to be... challenging. Their own GUI leaves much to be desired. It was not designed to run on the laptop's screen size/resolution. I had to switch to a much higher resolution monitor and rearrange frames within the app itself in order to see many of the controls. Button size adjustments, alignments, and label text did not work quite as expected. Getting things sized and aligned properly took quite a bit of fiddling. The text displayed on a button is a separate object from the button itself, so I have had to put some thought into object naming so that I can write code which will change button labels dynamically. I am including some screenshots from Squareline for the interface I designed. One great feature is that you can define actions and conditions for objects in your project. For example, there are buttons on the left which will navigate to specific screens. I defined actions within Squareline, such that when the specific navigation button is pressed, it will change the button appearance to look like it has been pressed and will then scroll left or right to a specified screen. Actions were also valuable for the Speed (WPM) slider on the Config screen. When this slider is moved left and right, the GUI will change the actual number for WPM to the right of the slider. Next, there is a simulator function which can be used to test how well the GUI works. It took some trial and error, but I was able to build and successfully test, navigational actions and the WPM slider. As I was working on building the afore mentioned WPM slider, and thinking about the default words per minute of Morse to use, my ADHD interrupted me (As usual). I decided to change the default speed that I use for the Arduino Nano based Morse code practice keyer which I keep on my desk. You can learn more about this keyer in episode 3 of this series. And we will also discuss Morse code speed in a future episode in this series. The original code (As found on https://github.com/jmharvey1/ArduinoCPO ) specified 12 words per minute (WPM) as the default speed, with buttons to increase or decrease this. However, I am practicing at 20 WPM. Every time I turn on the practice set, I need to turn up the speed and guess when I am close to 20. I went ahead and opened the PracticeOscilator project in Arduino IDE and updated the wpm variable to a value of 20. No, you will not see this change reflected in my own GitHub repo because: A) I wanted to test it locally first B) 20 WPM may be a little fast for a default C) I do not use git the way that it is meant to be used, or the way I SHOULD be using it, with pull requests and all. Bad Trey. D) I was distracted ANYWAY, the reason I bring this up is that it is the first time I have used the Arduino IDE to program a board with this system since I upgraded from Ubunto 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04. Try as I might, I was not able to get the Arduino Nano's USB port to be recognized in Linux so that I could upload the updated keyer code. I spent several days troubleshooting, using other Arduino devices, different USB ports, and different cables, all to no avail. If anyone has any recommendations, I am open to suggestions. So, I dug out my son's old Windows 10 PC and started again. I had to install the Arduino IDE, load all the necessary libraries, and my code from Github (Which I had to manually change once again, because I don't fully get git). Finally I was able to update the Arduino Nano with its new code, and it works perfectly. But this revealed the same problem for the CYD. I also could not get it to connect over USB to my Ubuntu system. Time to migrate the entire project to Windows. My next step was to install Squareline Studio on Windows. Here, I ran into another snag, as my trial license was only for one system, so I had to uninstall Squareline from Linux before I could activate the license on Windows. Did I mention that I would love to find an open source, free software product to use instead? If you know of one, please ping me or post a comment. I wasted more time trying to get the GUI project I had written on the Linux machine imported into Squareline on Windows, all the while thinking of improvements I could make if I started again from scratch. It would not load, and would not load. In the end, I started all over again. After much blood sweat and tears, my GUI code was working again, and this time in Windows. I was able to run it in the simulation mode and move from page to page successfully and also use the WPM slider. I exported the UI from Squareline, and I loaded the code it generated into a new project within Arduino IE. Now was the moment of truth. I followed instructions found on the Pang YouTube channel video [ESP32 + LVGL] Configuration input device rotary encoder ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGM6gu9OpbA ). I connected the CYD and uploaded the code. SUCCESS!! You can see my "Send" screen loaded perfectly! Now to try other screens. Wait. Drat. It does not seem like my navigation buttons work. Actually, it does not appear that the touch screen is responding at all. I spent the next several days trying to figure out what went wrong. I checked and double checked interrupt and configuration settings (Such as those described in another of Pang's videos, [CYD + LVGL] Configuration Cheap Yellow Display | Easy Guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR-mjJVumU ). Nothing worked. I came to realize that I bit off more than I could chew, and I should NOT have started with such an ambitious project. Instead I should have started with a simple equivalence of "Hello World", where I could build and test simple functionality to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing, then expand on it. Lessons learned, and a good stopping point for this episode. I am open to your feedback on what you would recommend, what I should do differently, etc. You can post simple feedback as a comment or send me an email using the address in my HPR profile. As usual, if your feedback is more than a sentence or two, you might want to record it as an episode so that other listeners can benefit from it as well. Time for an espresso. Maybe I will make it a double. Or even a triple! Provide feedback on this episode.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Tim Bajarin, Chairman of Creative Strategies, Inc., for a fascinating exploration of the evolution of technology. The conversation spans Tim's early career during the dawn of personal computing in the 1980s, historical reflections on pivotal inventions like Gutenberg's printing press, the legacy of Xerox PARC, and the rise of Apple's graphical interface and desktop publishing. They also discuss the human dynamics of innovation, from the tight-knit tech communities of Silicon Valley to parallels with historic institutions like the Royal Society. For more insights into Tim Bajarin's ongoing work, you can explore his articles on Forbes or visit Creative Strategies at creativestrategies.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:54 Entering the PC Market in the 1980s05:39 Historical Context and Technological Evolution13:21 The Impact of Desktop Publishing24:54 The Role of Historical Knowledge in Technology38:12 The Influence of British Technological Advancements47:30 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsKey InsightsThe Historical Context of Innovation is Crucial for Understanding Technology's Future: Tim Bajarin emphasizes that to forecast the future of technology, one must understand its historical roots. His career as an analyst has been informed by studying transformative moments like Gutenberg's printing press and innovations in the 1800s, including the Royal Society's influence on science and technology. This perspective underscores how historical breakthroughs set the stage for modern advancements.The Birth of Personal Computing Was a Collaborative Effort: Bajarin's entry into the tech industry coincided with the IBM PC launch in 1981. He became one of the first PC analysts, working with companies like Compaq, Dell, and Apple. The development of personal computing was fueled by close-knit communities of engineers and innovators who shared ideas, much like the collaborative environment of historical groups like the Royal Society.Xerox PARC's Innovations Were the Bedrock for Modern Computing: The role of Xerox PARC in shaping today's computing landscape is highlighted as pivotal. Bajarin recounts their invention of the graphical user interface (GUI) and the mouse, which were foundational for Apple's Mac. Although Xerox didn't capitalize on these ideas, their contributions enabled Steve Jobs and others to build the computing paradigms we use today.Desktop Publishing Revolutionized Communication and Creativity: Bajarin predicted the desktop publishing boom, thanks to innovations like Apple's laser printer, PageMaker software, and PostScript technology. These advancements transformed the publishing industry, allowing individuals and small businesses to create professional-quality content, democratizing access to creative tools.Steve Jobs' Return to Apple Marked a Turning Point in Design and Vision: When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, the company was near bankruptcy. Bajarin describes how Jobs refocused Apple on its core customers, introduced innovative industrial design, and created products like the colorful iMac. This redefined how consumers viewed computers, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal and cementing Apple's market position.The Evolution of Technology is Driven by Both Process and Innovation: Bajarin explains how every major technological leap, from the printing press to the PC, has involved the convergence of innovative devices and refined processes. For instance, advancements in printing presses during the 1800s mirrored the systematic innovations in the tech industry during the 1980s and 1990s.The Role of Community and Networks in Driving Innovation: The episode draws a parallel between the 1980s tech clubs in Silicon Valley and earlier knowledge-sharing networks, such as the letter-writing analysts of Renaissance Italy or the Royal Society. Bajarin illustrates how communities of like-minded individuals, whether in tech or science, have always been instrumental in fostering innovation.

Show Notes Episode 412: If You Start Me Up, I'll Never Stop This week Host Dave Bledsoe finally decides he is in need of an upgrade. (Meaning he started buying liter bottles of Jameson instead of his usual 750ml) On the show this week we head back to the most exciting moment of human history, the launch of Windows 95 (Well that is what Bill Gates TOLD us at the time, in retrospect this might not be exactly true.) Along the way we learn that Dave's septuagenarian parents are still more tech savvy than he is! (He STILL has to call THEM for help with his computer!) Then we dive into the history of Graphical User Interface. (Which is only slightly more interesting than it sounds.) From there we take a brief look at why the world uses PC's more than Apples. (All the cool video games were on the PC) Finally we get to what Windows 95 was and why everyone in the world was so amped up about it being released. (The 90's were pretty boring, really) We explain why Bill Gates and Jay Leno danced to a mid tier Rolling Stones song on stage. (They paid three million dollars for it, that's why) Finally we talk about the mania that accompanied the midnight release of CD-ROM. Our Sponsor this week is Hewlett Packard 486 DX2, all the computer you will EVER need! We open the show with Microsoft's promotional video for Windows 95 and close with Christian Porter and a MUCH better song choice for Windows!

Abstract: In the last decades, electrophysiological imaging methodology has seen many advances and the computational power in the neuroscience laboratories has steadily increased. Still, the new methodologies are unavailable for many. There is a need for more versatile analysis approaches for neuroscience specialists without a programming background. Using a software which provides standard pipelines, provides good default values for parameters, has a good multi-subject support, and stores the used analysis steps with the parameters in one place for reporting, is efficient and fast. In addition to enabling analysis for people without background in programming, it enables analysis for people with background in programming but a limited background in neuroscience. When constructed with care, the GUI may guide the researcher to apply analysis steps in correct order with reasonable default parameters. Two existing software, EEGLAB and Brainstorm, both provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface for end-to-end analysis for multiple subjects. The key difference to work presented here is the choice of language. The scientific community is moving en masse towards the python programming language, thus making it an ideal platform for extendable software. Another problem with Matlab is that it is not free - both from the perspective of open source and concrete monetary resources. Within the current trend towards increasing open science, covering data, analysis and reporting, the need for open source software is imperative. Meggie is an open source software for running MEG and EEG analysis with easy-to-use graphical user interface. It is written in Python 3, runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and uses the MNE-python library under the hood to do heavy lifting. It is designed to allow end-to-end analysis of MEG and EEG datasets from multiple subjects with common sensor-level analysis steps such as preprocessing, epoching and averaging, spectral analysis and time-frequency analysis. Most of the analysis steps can be run for all the subjects in one go, and combining the results across subjects is made possible with grand averages. We have emphasized the extendibility of Meggie by implementing most of the Meggie itself as plugins, thus ensuring that new plugins have access to all necessary core features. Meggie answers the demand for easy-to-use and extendable python-based graphical user interface that provides an end-to-end analysis environment for M/EEG data analysis. It is freely available at https://github.com/cibr-jyu/meggie under the BSD license. Installation instructions, documentation and tutorials are found on that website.

Sam Conner discusses the Kelp trading bot with Nikhil Saraf from the Stellar Development Foundation and Wouter Arkink from Stellarbattle.Kelp is a free, customizable, open-source trading bot for the Stellar universal marketplace.Topics include an overview of what the Kelp software can do, how it aims to provide liquidity to the Stellar Decentralized Exchange (DEX), how it can be used to trade any form of value on the Stellar network, and how it isn't just confined to the Stellar DEX but has the capability today to integrate seamlessly with hundreds of exchanges like Kraken. All agree, the power of Kelp is mostly unknown and untapped with more features like a Graphical User Interface in development.There is currently a Stellar battle with a 20,000 XLM prize pool to be spit among three people that produce high quality educational content about Kelp.Support the show (https://publicnode.org/#membership)

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.24.264317v1?rss=1 Authors: Macher, T.-H., Beermann, A. J., Leese, F. Abstract: DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used in research and application to assess biodiversity. Powerful analysis software exists to process raw data. However, when it comes to the translation of sequence read data into biological information many end users with limited bioinformatic expertise struggle with the downstream analysis and explore data only to a minor extent. Thus, there is a growing need for easy-to-use, graphical user interface (GUI) analysis software to analyse and visualise DNA metabarcoding data. We here present TaxonTableTools (TTT), a new platform independent GUI software that aims to fill this gap by providing simple and reproducible analysis and visualisation workflows. TTT uses a so-called "TaXon table" as input. This format can easily be generated within TTT from two input files: a read table and a taxonomy table that can be obtained by various published metabarcoding pipelines. TTT analysis and visualisation modules include e.g. Venn diagrams to compare taxon overlap among replicates, samples or among different analysis methods. It analyses and visualises basic statistics such as read proportion per taxon as well as more sophisticated visualisation such as interactive Krona charts for taxonomic data exploration. Various ecological analyses such as alpha or beta diversity estimates, and rarefaction analysis ordination plots can be produced directly. Data can be explored also in formats required by traditional taxonomy-based analyses of regulatory bioassessment programs. TTT comes with a manual and tutorial, is free and publicly available through GitHub (https://github.com/TillMacher/TaxonTableTools) and the Python package index (https://pypi.org/project/taxontabletools/).

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.07.083436v1?rss=1 Authors: Petersen, P. C., Buzsaki, G. Abstract: The large diversity of neuron types of the brain, with numerous unique electrophysiological characteristics, provides the means by which cortical circuits perform complex operations. To quantify, compare and visualize the functional features of single neurons, we have developed a MATLAB-based framework, CellExplorer, consisting of three components: a processing module for extracting and calculating physiological metrics, a standardized yet flexible data structure, and a powerful graphical interface for fast manual curation and feature exploration. This data mining and discovery tool allows for inspection of dozens of computed features of neurons from large-scale recordings and relate them to those of other neurons in any combination at the speed of mouse clicks. The open source design of the CellExplorer permits the optimization of its functions tested against an ever-growing community-contributed database. CellExplorer will accelerate linking physiological properties of single neurons in the intact brain to genetically identified types. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Ivan Perez, University of Nottingham, UK, gives the second presentation in the first panel, Art and Education, in the ICFP 2017 conference. Co-written by Henrik Nilsson, University of Nottingham, UK. Many types of interactive applications, including video games, raise particular challenges when it comes to testing and debugging. Reasons include de-facto lack of reproducibility and difficulties of automatically generating suitable test data. This paper demonstrates that certain variants of Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) implemented in pure functional languages can mitigate such difficulties by offering referential transparency at the level of whole programs. This opens up for a multi-pronged approach for assisting with testing and debugging that works across platforms, including assertions based on temporal logic, recording and replaying of runs (also from deployed code), and automated random testing using QuickCheck. The approach has been validated on real, non-trivial games implemented in the FRP system Yampa through a tool providing a convenient Graphical User Interface that allows the execution of the code under scrutiny to be controlled, moving along the execution time line, and pin-pointing of violations of assertions on PCs as well as mobile platforms.

This week on the show, it's all about Lumina. We'll be giving you a visual walkthrough of the new BSD-exclusive desktop environment, as well as chatting with the main developer. There's also answers to your emails and all the latest news, on BSD Now - the place to B.. SD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Portscout ported to OpenBSD (http://blog.jasper.la/portscout-for-openbsd/) Portscout is a popular utility used in the FreeBSD ports infrastructure It lets port maintainers know when there's a new version of the upstream software available by automatically checking the distfile mirror Now OpenBSD porters can enjoy the same convenience, as it's been ported over You can view the status online (http://portscout.jasper.la/) to see how it works and who maintains what (http://portscout.jasper.la/index-total.html) The developer who ported it is working to get all the current features working on OpenBSD, and added a few new features as well He decided to fork and rename it (https://jasperla.github.io/portroach/) a few days later *** Sysadmins and systemd refugees flocking to BSD (https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/2fgb90/you_have_your_windows_in_my_linux_or_why_many/) With all the drama in Linux land about the rapid changes to their init system, a lot of people are looking at BSD alternatives This "you got your Windows in my Linux (http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/you-have-your-windows-in-my-linux-249483)" article (and accompanying comments) give a nice glimpse into the minds of some of those switchers Both server administrators and regular everyday users are switching away from Linux, as more and more distros give them no choice but to use systemd Fortunately, the BSD communities are usually very welcoming of switchers - it's pretty nice on this side! *** OpenBSD's versioning schemes (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/OpenBSD-version-numbers) Ted Unangst explains the various versioning systems within OpenBSD, from the base to libraries to other included software In contrast to FreeBSD's release cycle, OpenBSD isn't as concerned with breaking backwards compatibility (but only if it's needed to make progress) This allows them to innovate and introduce new features a lot more easily, and get those features in a stable release that everyone uses He also details the difference between branches, their errata system and lack of "patch levels" for security Some other things in OpenBSD don't have version numbers at all, like tmux "Every release adds some new features, fixes some old bugs, probably adds a new bug or two, and, if I have anything to say about it, removes some old features." *** VAXstation 4000 Model 90 booting NetBSD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLsgFPaMPyg) We found a video of NetBSD booting on a 22 year old VAX workstation, circa 1992 This system has a monstrous 71 MHz CPU and 128MB of ECC RAM It continues in part two (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKzDXKmn66U), where we learn that it would've cost around $25,000 when it was released! The uploader talks about his experiences getting NetBSD on it, what does and doesn't work, etc It's interesting to see that such old hardware isn't necessarily obsolete just because newer things have come out since then (but maybe don't try to build world on it...) *** Interview - Ken Moore - ken@pcbsd.org (mailto:ken@pcbsd.org) The Lumina desktop environment Special segment Lumina walkthrough News Roundup Suricata for IDS on pfSense (http://pfsensesetup.com/suricata-intrusion-detection-system-part-one) While most people are familiar with Snort as an intrusion detection system, Suricata is another choice This guide goes through the steps of installing and configuring it on a public-facing pfSense box Part two (http://pfsensesetup.com/suricata-intrusion-detection-system-part-two/) details some of the configuration steps One other cool thing about Suricata - it's compatible with Snort rules, so you can use the same updates There's also another recent post (http://www.allamericancomputerrepair.com/Blog/Post/29/Install-Snort-on-FreeBSD) about snort as well, if that's more your style If you run pfSense (or any BSD) as an edge router for a lot of users, this might be worth looking into *** OpenBSD's systemd API emulation project (http://bsd.slashdot.org/story/14/09/08/0250207/gsoc-project-works-to-emulate-systemd-for-openbsd) This story was pretty popular in the mainstream news this week For the Google Summer of Code, a student is writing emulation wrappers for some of systemd's functions (https://twitter.com/blakkheim/status/509092821773848577) There was consideration from some Linux users to port over the finished emulation back to Linux, so they wouldn't have to run the full systemd One particularly interesting Slashdot comment snippet (http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=5663319&cid=47851361): "We are currently migrating a large number (much larger than planned after initial results) of systems from RHEL to BSD - a decision taken due to general unhappiness with RHEL6, but SystemD pushed us towards BSD rather than another Linux distro - and in some cases are seeing throughput gains of greater than 10% on what should be equivalent Linux and BSD server builds. The re-learning curve wasn't as steep as we expected, general system stability seems to be better too, and BSD's security reputation goes without saying." It will NOT be in the base system - only in ports, and only installed as a dependency for things like newer GNOME (http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2014/09/07/systemd-in-gnome-3-14-and-beyond/) that require such APIs In the long run, BSD will still be safe from systemd's reign of terror, but will hopefully still be compatible with some third party packages like GNOME that insist on using it *** GhostBSD 4 previewed (http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/19/preview-of-ghostbsd-4-0/) The GhostBSD project is moving along, slowly getting closer to the 4 release This article shows some of the progress made, and includes lots of screenshots and interesting graphical frontends If you're not too familiar with GhostBSD, we interviewed the lead developer (http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_03_12-ghost_of_partition) a little while back *** NetBSD on the Banana Pi (http://rizzoandself.blogspot.com/2014/09/netbsd-on-banana-pi.html) The Banana Pi is a tasty alternative to the Raspberry Pi, with similar hardware specs In this blog post, a NetBSD developer details his experiences in getting NetBSD to run on it After studying how the prebuilt Linux image booted, he made some notes and started hacking Ethernet, one of the few things not working, is being looked into and he's hoping to get it fully supported for the upcoming NetBSD 7.0 They're only about $65 as of the time we're recording this, so it might be a fun project to try *** Feedback/Questions Antonio writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s28iKdBEbm) Garegin writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s21Wfnv87h) Erno writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2Fzryxhdz) Brandon writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2ILcqdFfF) ***

EMPIRE OF WEALTH Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) Railroads was the computer industry of the 1800’s.  Starting in 1830 the B&O connected Chesapeake Bay and the Ohio River competing with leading U.S. seaports and Erie Canal.  In its inception railroads were dirty and dangerous forms of travel and shipping.  Cornelius Vanderbilt, a future railroad magnate, was nearly killed in a rail accident, in 1833.  From its humble beginnings railroads and the telegraph connected the vast territory of the United States.  Questions or comments email David@GDTB. Biz. IN THE NEWS THE HISTORY OF XEROX CORPORATION Starting in 1903 as the M.H. Kuhn Company in Rochester, N.Y.  It became The Haloid Photographic Company in 1906 and originally manufactured photographic paper and equipment.  Chester Carlson made the first xerographic image in 1938 and patented the process in 1942.  Initially the process was thought to be worthless, but The Haloid Company commercialized the process.  Haloid Xerox was incorporated in 1958 and changed to the Xerox Corporation in 1961.  Link to Xerox’s interactive timeline visit Getting Down to Business® on Facebook.TECH TALKThe Cloud is becoming more and more convenient to large and especially to small businesses.  Russell Ball our IT authority and his “Top 5 Cloud Solutions” in this program.  Listen as Russ starts with number 5 ending with the top reason to use Cloud solutions.  Visit Russ at www.Akcb.com. LISTEN EVERY SATURDAYSGetting Down to Business® with David Weatherholt broadcast Saturday’s 8-10 am (AKDT) Fox News Talk KOAN 95.5 FM & AM 1020 – Stream:www.foxnewskoan.com In Anchorage, Alaska.  In Spokane, Washington listens to MoneyTalk 1230 AM KSBN from 9-11 am.  Like us on Facebook, join me on LinkedIn or follow us on Twitter at Waconsult.
