|
||||||
Four talks on a range of CS-related topics.
|
A panel organized by the CS Club on how feminism manifests itself in STEM,
|
||||||
<br />
|
specifically CS and Engineering.
|
||||||
Theo Belaire will talk about his experience developing modules for the Linux kernel
|
|
||||||
in the Rust programming language, and its pitfalls.
|
Panelists are Dr. Prabhakar Ragde, Swetha Kulandaivelan, and Filzah Nasir.
|
||||||
<br />
|
Moderated by Fatema Boxwala.
|
||||||
Bryan Coutts will talk about the weighted closest neighbour problem, which has
|
|
||||||
important applications in finding not only the nearest pizza place, but the fastest
|
Due to battery trouble, the first few minutes of audio were lost. The panelists
|
||||||
pizza place.
|
were introduced as Prabhakar from the School of Computer Science, Swetha from
|
||||||
<br />
|
4A Mechanical Engineering, and Filzah as an Engineering grad student.
|
||||||
Richard Ye will talk about a few important design principles to keep in mind
|
|
||||||
when making web UIs, or any UIs in general.
|
Sample questions from the panel section are:
|
||||||
<br />
|
<ul>
|
||||||
Tristan Hume will talk about his experience using binary forms of data communication,
|
<li>Filzah and Swetha, can you expand on how Engineering tries to keep its curriculum grounded in reality?</li>
|
||||||
and a sample protocol for binary communication.
|
<li>Why would an Engineering 101 instructor tell the class to design urinals?</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Prabhakar, how can men in STEM help women get their voices heard?</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sample questions from the audience after the panel:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>As a woman in CS, how do I know I wasn't hired to meet a diversity target?</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Filzah, you mentioned that "getting to 50%" isn't what you're interested in. Can you expand on that?</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>An admittedly selfish argument I've seen on Reddit asks why we should cooperate with marginalized
|
||||||
|
communities when we're not significantly affected by them? (Response at 10 minutes into questions)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Prabhakar, how has CS changed since you were an undergrad?</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>

<mediaitem title="Bringing OOP Best Practices to the World of Functional Programming">
|
||||||
|
<abstract>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
I transitioned from writing software in imperative, object-oriented
|
||||||
|
(OO) programming languages to doing functional programming (FP)
|
||||||
|
full-time, and you can do it, too! In this talk, I'll make a case for
|
||||||
|
using FP for real-world development, cover some cases where common FP
|
||||||
|
language features substitute for design patterns and OOP structure,
|
||||||
|
and provide some examples of translating traditional OO design
|
||||||
|
patterns into functional code.

<mediaitem title="Open Source Computer Sound Measurement">
|
||||||
|
<abstract>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
An ideal computer audio system should faithfully reproduce signals of
|
||||||
|
all frequencies in the audible range (20 to 20,000 cycles per second).
|
||||||
|
Real systems, particularly mobile devices and laptops, may still
|
||||||
|
produce acceptable quality, but often have a limited response,
|
||||||
|
particularly at the low (bass) frequencies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sound/acousic energy refers to time varying pressure waves in air.
|
||||||
|
When recording sound, the acoustic signal will be picked up by
|
||||||
|
microphone, which converts it to electrical signals (voltages). The
|
||||||
|
signal is then digitized (analog to digital conversion) and stored as
|
||||||
|
a stream of numbers in a data file. On playback the digital signal is
|
||||||
|
converted to an electrical signal (digital to analog conversion) and
|
||||||
|
finally returned as an acoustic signal by a speaker and/or headphones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this talk I will present open source software (Octave/Linux) to
|
||||||
|
measure the end-to-end frequency response of an audio system using the
|
||||||
|
Discrete Fourier Transform. I will demonstrate the software using a
|
||||||
|
standard USB audio interface and a consumer grade omnidirectional
|
||||||
|
microphone.

This is joint work with John Vanderkooy, Distinguished Professor
|
||||||
|
Emeritus, Department of Physics and Astronomy.
