Concerning the outcome of these meetings, let me first discuss the re ception for local TKA officers. .As this was the first time that such a meeting had been attempted, we were not sure how it would develop. But when one person stood to relate the various ac tivities of his local chapter, every per son there was ready to contribute to the discussion.

  • Design Mistakes in Node Ryan Dahl JS Conf Berlin June 2018 Background
    Design Mistakes in Node Ryan Dahl JS Conf Berlin June 2018 Background ● I created and managed Node through its initial development. ● My goal was heavily focused on programming event driven HTTP servers. ● That focus turned out to be crucial for Server-Side JavaScript at the time. It wasn't obvious then but server-side JS required an event loop to succeed. Background When I left in 2012, I felt Node had (more or less) achieved my goals for a user friendly non-blocking framework: ○ Core supported many protocols: HTTP, SSL, ... ○ Worked on Windows (using IOCP) Linux (epoll) and Mac (kqueue). ○ A relatively small core with a somewhat stable API. ○ A growing ecosystem of external modules via NPM. But I was quite wrong - there was so much left to do... Critical work has kept Node growing since. ● npm (AKA "Isaac") decoupled the core Node library and allowed the ecosystem to be distributed. ● N-API is beautifully designed binding API ● Ben Noordhuis and Bert Belder built the libuv. ● Mikeal Rogers organized the governance and community. ● Fedor Indutny has had a massive influence across the code base, particularly in crypto. ● And many others: TJ Fontaine, Rod Vagg, Myles Borins, Nathan Rajlich, Dave Pacheco, Robert Mustacchi, Bryan Cantrill, Igor Zinkovsky, Aria Stewart, Paul Querna, Felix Geisendörfer, Tim Caswell, Guillermo Rauch, Charlie Robbins, Matt Ranney, Rich Trott, Michael Dawson, James Snell I have only started using Node again in the last 6 months. These days my goals are different. Dynamic languages are the right tool for scientific computing, where often you do quick one-off calculations.

  • The Utah Online Dispute Resolution Platform: a Usability Evaluation and Report
    The Utah Online Dispute Resolution Platform: A Usability Evaluation and Report September 8, 2020 Stacy Butler Sarah Mauet Christopher L. Griffin, Jr. Mackenzie S. Pish Innovation for Justice Program www.law.arizona.edu/i4j [This page intentionally left blank.] The Utah Online Dispute Resolution Platform: i A Usability Evaluation and Report I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report contains findings and recommendations from usability testing of the State of Utah’s online dispute resolution (ODR) platform, which was conducted by the Innovation for Justice (i4J) Program at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. Utah’s ODR platform is a web-based alternative dispute resolution tool that provides parties in small claims debt collection actions with an opportunity to resolve their cases online. The i4J Program partnered with the Utah Administrative Office of the Courts and the Pew Charitable Trusts to conduct observation-based usability testing and to identify how the Utah ODR platform could be improved or enhanced, with a focus on functionality, usability, accessibility, and comprehension issues. The research team executed a multi-phase testing process designed to engage the low-income community in the review and redesign of Utah’s ODR platform. The evaluations were conducted in Pima County, Arizona, where the research team is located. All testing involved participants who were screened for demographic characteristics that aligned with national data on non-bank personal loan debtors. Two rounds of observation- based usability testing—the first with the existing, baseline platform and the second with a redesigned prototype—yielded data from a total of sixteen participants.

  • Wasmtree: Web Assembly for the Semantic Web
    WasmTree: Web Assembly for the Semantic Web Julian Bruyat1, Pierre-Antoine Champin1;2, Lionel Médini1, and Frédérique Laforest1 1 Université de Lyon, INSALyon, UCBL, LIRIS CNRS UMR 5205, France 2 W3C / ERCIM, France Abstract Today, Javascript runtimes intend to process data both at server and client levels. In this paper, we study how Rust and Web As- sembly can contribute to implement efficient Semantic Web libraries for the Javascript ecosystem. We propose WasmTree, a new implementation of the RDF.JS Store and Dataset interfaces in which the processing is carefully split between the Web Assembly and Javascript layers. Exper- iments show that our best setup outperforms state-of-the-art implemen- tations for fine-grained data access and SPARQL queries. Keywords: Semantic Web · Web Assembly · RDF.JS · Indexing 1 Introduction Nowadays a large number of RDF libraries help application developers take advantage of Linked Data and the Semantic Web. On the server side, when high performance is needed, it is usual to use compiled languages, such as C or Rust. But until recently, in browsers, only libraries written in Javascript (JS) could be used, such as N3.js [16] or Graphy [13]. With the development of Web Assembly [14] (WASM), browsers and other JS runtimes are able to run compiled and highly optimized libraries with near-native performance. Our aim is to build an efficient RDF library for JS runtimes. We propose WasmTree34, a fast in-memory implementation of the RDF.JS API in which the processing is carefully split between the WASM and JS layers. Section 2 presents the state of the art of RDF libraries for JS environments.
