Developer Stories Podcast
0
As developers, we get excited to think about challenging problems. When you ask us what we are working on, our eyes light up like children in a candy store. So why is it that so many of our developer and software origin stories are not told? How did we get to where we are today, and what did we learn along the way? This podcast aims to look “Behind the Scenes of Tech’s Passion Projects and People.” We want to know your developer story, what you have built, and why. We are an inclusive community - whatever kind of institution or country you hail from, if you are passionate about software and technology you are welcome!
What are LSTMs?
0
This reading will explain what a long short-term memory neural network is. LSTMs are a type of neural networks that rely on both past and present data to make decisions about future data. It relies on loops back to previous data to make such decisions. This makes LSTMs very good for predicting time-dependent behavior.

Metadata Systems
0
Metadata is a vital topic in libraries and librarianship, encompassing structured information used for accessing digital resources. The definition of metadata varies but is essentially data about data. It has evolved beyond simply describing metadata schemas and now focuses on topics like interoperability, non-descriptive metadata (administrative and preservation metadata), and the effective application of metadata schemas for user discovery. Interoperability, the ability to seamlessly exchange metadata between systems, is a major concern. Different levels of interoperability are examined, including schema-level, record-level, and repository-level. Challenges to interoperability include variations in standards, collaboration barriers, and costs.Metadata management is discussed in terms of the holistic management of metadata across an entire library. Steps include analyzing metadata requirements, adopting schema, creating metadata content, delivery/access, evaluation, and maintenance. Administrative metadata, which encompasses ownership and production information, is becoming more critical, particularly for electronic resource licensing. Preservation metadata is also gaining importance in ensuring the long-term viability of digital objects.

File management of Visual Studio Code on clusters
0
Visual Studio Code, commonly known as VSCode, is a popular tool used by programmers worldwide. It serves as a text editor and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports a wide variety of programming languages. One of its key features is its extensive library of extensions. These extensions add on to the basic functionalities of VSCode, making coding more efficient and convenient.
However, there's a catch. When these extensions are installed and used frequently, they generate a multitude of files. These files are typically stored in a folder named .vscode-extension within your home directory. On a cluster computing facility such as the FASTER and Grace clusters at Texas A&M University, there's a limitation on how many files you can have in your home directory. For instance, the file number limit could be 10000, while the .vscode-extension directory can hold around 4000 temporary files even with just a few extensions. Thus, if the number of files in your home directory surpasses this limit due to VSCode extensions, you might face some issues. This restriction can discourage users from taking full advantage of the extensive features and extensions offered by the VSCode editor.
To overcome this, we can shift the .vscode-extension directory to the scratch space. The scratch space is another area in the cluster where you can store files and it usually has a much higher limit on the number of files compared to the home directory. We can perform this shift smoothly using a feature called symbolic links (or symlinks for short). Think of a symlink as a shortcut or a reference that points to another file or directory located somewhere else.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to move the .vscode-extension directory to the scratch space and create a symbolic link to it in your home directory:
1. Copy the .vscode-extension directory to the scratch space: Using the cp command, you can copy the .vscode-extension directory (along with all its contents) to the scratch space. Here's how:
cp -r ~/.vscode-extension /scratch/user
Don't forget to replace /scratch/user with the actual path to your scratch directory.
2. Remove the original .vscode-extension directory: Once you've confirmed that the directory has been copied successfully to the scratch space, you can remove the original directory from your home space. You can do this using the rm command:
rm -r ~/.vscode-extension
It's important to make sure that the directory has been copied to the scratch space successfully before deleting the original.
3. Create a symbolic link in the home directory: Lastly, you'll create a symbolic link in your home directory that points to the .vscode-extension directory in the scratch space. You can do this as follows:
ln -s /scratch/user/.vscode-extension ~/.vscode-extension
By following this process, all the files generated by VSCode extensions will be stored in the scratch space. This prevents your home directory from exceeding its file limit. Now, when you access ~/.vscode-extension, the system will automatically redirect you to the directory in the scratch space, thanks to the symlink. This method ensures that you can use VSCode and its various extensions without worrying about hitting the file limit in your home directory.
A visual introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation
0
This website is an interactive introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP). A probabilistic inference algorithm that operates by passing messages between the nodes of arbitrarily structured factor graphs. A special case of loopy belief propagation, GBP updates rely only on local information and will converge independently of the message schedule. The key argument is that, given recent trends in computing hardware, GBP has the right computational properties to act as a scalable distributed probabilistic inference framework for future machine learning systems.

Research Software Development in JupyterLab: A Platform for Collaboration Between Scientists and RSEs
0
Iterative Programming takes place when you can explore your code and play with your objects and functions without needing to save, recompile, or leave your development environment. This has traditionally been achieved with a REPL or an interactive shell. The magic of Jupyter Notebooks is that the interactive shell is saved as a persistant document, so you don't have to flip back and forth between your code files and the shell in order to program iteratively.
There are several editors and IDE's that are intended for notebook development, but JupyterLab is a natural choice because it is free and open source and most closely related to the Jupyter Notebooks/iPython projects. The chief motivation of this repository is to enable an IDE-like development environment through the use of extensions. There are also expositional notebooks to show off the usefulness of these features.
