Q: The process of writing a technical specification I'm slightly worried that this may be a duplicate, but I have searched the site and every question that I can find seems to be more focused on functional specifications rather than technical ones.
I'm looking for information on how to communicate how something should be done, rather than what should be done. I think at the simplest level I'm looking for the best way to help explain to junior coders the correct way to implement a functional spec.
Most of the answers regarding documentation seem to assume that once given a detailed list of requirements the developes will know the best possible way to implement it and I tend to find that it often isn't the case. The best resource I've found so far seems to be 10*Software Development by Steve McConnell, but I was wondering if anyone else had some useful answers.

A: Interesting, I thought this question would get dozens of well argued answers, instead we get suggestions that coding standards will fix the problem or letting the devs get on with it is the answer. From the question, I think the key is that we're talking about junior coders, when you're starting out there's a huge jump from functional spec to finished code, and we all know that there's more than one way to do it.
My approach would be to take a particular part of the system, what exercises all the technical layers - DB, UI, Web services whatever, and document how that should be implemented, maybe using class diagrams, maybe just suggesting the specific libraries and approaches. In this way your tech spec isn't too big, compliments and extends the architecture document (which can be a bullet point list if you don't want too much doco).
The team can then fully implement a vertical slice of the system which has many advantages, you can build and release a small slice early, the architecture is proven, the iteration 0 stuff (source control, versioning, build) is all exercised - it's just the way to do it.

A: Two thoughts:
The most useful way I know to communication about a proposed implementation is to use class diagrams and sequence diagrams.
I think even junior developers should be given the responsibility of creating the initial description. Thinking about the problem space, then receiving a critique of the design, is going to develop their abilities much faster.

A: I think this boils down to certain design basics:

*

*You create a list of requirements or a functional specification

*You look at all possible ways to solve the problem

*You decide which ways fits best or leads to the best result

What you describe shows that they didn't make a good (if any) analysis of the pro's and con's. In the end it comes down to how well the Junior's themselves are able to gather the right information and then make the correct decision. This might involve asking more senior programmers ;-)

Some examples of design methods to decide what the best possible options are:

*

*http://www.wikid.eu/index.php/Itemised_response

*http://www.wikid.eu/index.php/Weighted_objectives_method

*http://www.wikid.eu/index.php/Harris_profile

*http://www.mycoted.com/Brainwriting

*http://www.qicbok.com/tools/creativitytools_brainwriting635.cfm

A: I'm going to suggest reading Joel's series starting with Painless Functional Specifications - Part 1: Why Bother?  He even has a link to the Project Aardark specification (now Copilot) that you can download and read as an example of what makes a good specification.
One point though: you mention both technical and functional specifications in your post.  There's a difference.
You're touching on the issue of coding standards it seems like (as well).
Personally I favour Wiki based approach for purely technical design documentation.  Developers jsut don't like writing large Word documents.  Wikis allow you to write stuff, collaborate, insert class diagrams or whatever is appropriate.
I found some more information on this like this thread about technical vs functional specifications where Joel writes:

My way of thinking is that you just
  don't write "technical specs" that
  cover the entire functionality of an
  application ... that's what the
  functional spec is for. Once you have
  a complete functional spec the only
  thing left to document is points of
  internal architecture and specific
  algorithms that are (a) entirely
  invisible (under the covers) and (b)
  not obvious enough from the functional
  spec.
So the technical spec winds up not
  existing. In it's place you may or may
  not have a few technical articles on
  small topics:

and

Remember, if anything you're talking
  about affects the user interface or
  even the behavior of the thing you're
  building, it goes in the functional
  spec... so all that's left for
  technical specification is things that
  are SOLELY of interests to
  programmers, and, in fact, a lot of
  that stuff might be best in comments,
  so at most, you should have a handful
  of short articles on topics like
  algorithms -- and you write those
  articles on demand, when you need to
  think through a design, or document
  the "big picture" for future
  programmers so they don't have to
  figure out what your code is trying to
  accomplish.

which describes it far more eloquently than I.

A: You will get a lot of mileage out of augmenting your functional spec with a coding standard, code reviews, and possibly a static analysis tool like FxCop. Code can be based on a reasonable architecture, but become hard to change because of bad style at the local level.

HomeCard GameAll the Card Games, so Many Card Games!
To elaborate somewhat I found cards through Magic: the Gathering like many of us and like a lot of players quickly progressed to be quite competitive. Eventually I grew tired of 'keeping up' with MTG and moved on to the Spoils and some of the LCGs instead. That was when I had time to play all these games often and in a competitive manner. This mind-set became what was important and winning or at least trying to was my reason to play.
It occurs to me now that I was missing the point of playing the games. As a result of this I think that I would like to fill what little time I do have with card games the I enjoy playing. I intend to continue playing a Game of Thrones and 40K Conquest because I love the background to those truly enjoyable games. I also have been thoroughly enjoying Battle for Sularia (more on this next week) but I think I have room for just one more game that feels different. But which one?
The market place is crowded with card games in all forms but which one is for me? Game of Thrones fills my need for control and the sci-fi and brutal combat levels are already high with the other games. I could go back to MtG of course but that way lies the dark side; I really enjoy the Spoils but find the support for the game frustrating. I tried Doomtown: Reloaded but it's not my cup of tea.
Android: Netrunner seems like a winner but it also looks a little complicated. EPIC is very good but isn't something worth more than occasional plays in my opinion so I think it should be something in between. I also like the fixed pack nature so want to avoid the CCGs. I'm thinking that perhaps a deck builder would be the best bet? Something that I can buy and let others play, that's expandable without being competitive but which one?
But what a dilemma now! That's where you come in dear reader (I know some of you will get the chance to play the game chosen so get choosing). I'd like any help and advice on the subject or even if you have other recommendations! Of course if you happen to be a game designer and think your game fits the bill I'm more than happy to have a look at that too!

The Airport Express bus service links the airport directly to the central business district. A fleet of buses takes travellers from most parts of the city to the airport, and the service is incredibly efficient, regular and quick.
Taxis and coaches are available outside the main terminal entrances, and a limousine service is also available. Car parking is available in three separate areas, although spaces fill up very quickly and availability in the long-term parking areas is limited.
Arriving at Hong Kong International Airport
Flights from Hong Kong with Qatar Airways check in at Terminal 1, Aisle E.
Unless you are a Hong Kong resident, you must return a departure card at immigration control when leaving Hong Kong.

Travel considerations
Flights to London with Qatar Airways land at London Heathrow, the world's busiest air transport hub. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure.

The Blue & Gold Women's
Varsity Endowment Fund
Please empower a female varsity athlete today by making a gift to the Blue & Gold Women's Varsity Endowment Fund
The Blue & Gold Women's Varsity Endowment Fund will provide awards exclusively for deserving female athletes.
Female varsity athletes are passionate, indispensable members of university life. They work hard and represent UBC boldly on and off the field. They often go on to be leaders in their communities, using the skills they have gained balancing athletics and academics long after graduation.
UBC Athletics has made raising funds for female varsity athletes a priority. For too long, these talented young women have not received the same level of financial support as male Thunderbirds. Women's varsity sports are not less important, but they are underfunded and in some cases, don't have the longstanding history of our men's varsity teams.
Currently, scholarships for women's sports receive only 38% of the total funds available from endowments and fundraising, despite making up 12 of UBC's 25 varsity teams. With your help, we can start closing the gap and creating gender parity for female athletes.
In 2017, UBC President Santa J. Ono announced the Blue & Gold Campaign for Students to support the success of students across UBC. The campaign—the largest focused on students in UBC's history—aims to raise $100 million in student support over three years. As part of this campaign, Athletics created the Women's Varsity Endowment Fund to provide awards exclusively for deserving female athletes.
Your support for female athletes will help close the funding gap between male and female Thunderbirds and help to ensure any female athlete with the ambition and talent to be called a Thunderbird has the opportunity to pursue their sport. Funds raised through this initiative are evenly distributed across our 12 women's varsity teams. In 2020-21, over $33,500 was distributed to 18 deserving female athletes.
UBC has committed to matching all donations to this fund up to $100,000, meaning your gift will have double the impact! Please empower a female varsity athlete today by making a gift to the Blue & Gold Women's Varsity Endowment Fund.

Gophers running back Nolan Edmonds medically retires from football

PUBLISHED: July 16, 2019 at 2:51 p.m. | UPDATED: July 17, 2019 at 8:26 a.m.
Gophers redshirt freshman running back Nolan Edmonds has retired from football for medical reasons, a source told the Pioneer Press on Tuesday.
Edmonds redshirted in the 2018 season and did not play in a game last year. He was injured in spring practices and did not suit up for Minnesota's intrasquad scrimmage April 13.
Edmonds didn't share a specific reason for his retirement in a tweet beyond "personal healthy reasons," and he gave an "extra thank you to Coach (P.J.) Fleck and coaching staff. "I'm extremely thankful for them helping me as I recover," Edmonds wrote.
Edmonds, of Alpharetta, Ga., was a three-star member of Minnesota's 2018 recruiting class. He remains enrolled at the U and will be considered a "medical non-counter," the source said. This means his financial aid will initially remain for less than a year and he won't be included in the program's scholarship total, according to NCAA bylaws. The aid is expected to be extended until graduation.
"I want to also thank the University of Minnesota for allowing me to continue my studies here," Edmonds wrote.
Edmonds is the second Gophers player from the 2018 class to hang up his jersey in July, following defensive end Alex Reigelseperger, who retired after a serious neck and head injury from spring practice.

A great wall, mass deportation and no birthright citizenship, all in the news, compliments of Donald Trump this week. Some GOP candidates pushing back. More leaning toward.

Yes, China is struggling with a number of complex problems — the downside of a major equity bubble, excesses in its property market, deleveraging from a debt-intensive growth spurt in the aftermath of the Great Crisis of 2008-2009, and a decline in exports stemming mainly from sluggish growth in its major trading partners in the developed world."
PBS NewsHour: In a crowded race for Iowa, the importance of being Donald — "Ready or not, the 2016 campaign is now shifting into higher gears. Today alone, candidates were fanned out at events in six states. But among the more than a score of White House hopefuls, one is dominating the conversation. The question is, how will that translate into votes?"
Atlanta Journal Constitution: Jimmy Carter says cancer has spread to his brain -- "Jimmy Carter's cancer has spread to his brain, the former president announced Thursday, and he is beginning a course of radiation and drug therapy to combat it.

About On Point


Here's some food ideas for your Thanksgiving table. The only turkey recipe I have on the blog so far is Ina's Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast. It's the best turkey breast I've ever eaten. Or there's yummy Cranberry-Apple Relish.
Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole is amazing and a real crowd pleaser.
This Corn Casserole is an easy, old recipe if you need a last minute dish.
Sage Stuffing is delicious! So is Sausage and Cornbread Dressing. In fact dressing/stuffing is my favorite part of the meal, I think.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar and Homemade Cranberry Sauce with a touch of orange. So good!
Sautéed Kale with Roasted Butternut Squash and Mushrooms give you a couple of tasty, healthy options.
For some more ideas for side dishes for your Thanksgiving table, click here.
Hope that gives you all some ideas. Happy eating!
Looks like a lot of good dishes - what time should we be there on Thursday.

LeBron James again hints at plans for greatness in 2017-18 despite Cavaliers' roster uncertainty
Updated: Aug. 29, 2017, 12:43 a.m. |
Published: Aug. 28, 2017, 11:43 p.m.
Joe Vardon, Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND -- If LeBron James' performance matches his rhetoric, the Cavs are going to be just fine this season.
For the second time in a week's span, James issued a warning to the league about the kind of player he's going to be in 2017-18 season. This time, he took to social media to promise "thunderous dunks, brilliant assists, clutch buckets, and chase-down blocks."
He shared a Tweet from the NBA's account, in which James' highlights from last season were condensed into a video. James added: "And I got so much more for the archives coming soon."
And I got so much more for the archives coming soon! #StriveForGreatness🚀 https://t.co/Y8P1FhtH5J
— LeBron James (@KingJames) August 28, 2017
Last week, on Instagram, James said "I have no ceiling and I refuse to fall into the trap of complacency!"
James, 32, entering his 15th NBA season, has gone to the last seven Finals. He posted career highs in assists and rebounds last season to go with his 26.4 points per game.
Left unsaid from James (other than that minor issue about his likely free agency next summer) is, whether Isaiah Thomas is in a Cavs uniform or not, or whether it's Kyrie Irving, or someone else, James will be ready.
And what he delivers could be something to behold.


Within the Sunday, August 10, 2014 currency pair GBPUSD started the session at 1.68322 and ended at 1.67704.
Daily top value was 1.68336 and daily lowest price was 1.67663.
At the time of the Asian trade the pair GBPUSD started the session at 1.68322 and ended at 1.68030. Asian highest value was 1.68336, Asian bottom value was 1.68020.
At the time of the European trade the pair GBPUSD started the session at 1.68078 and ended at 1.68039. European highest value was 1.68290, European bottom value was 1.67959.
At the time of the US trade session the pair GBPUSD started trading at 1.68062 and ended at 1.67767. US high was 1.68098, US bottom price was 1.67710.
We foresee short-term adjustment at 0.00014 and a long-term change at 0.00127 or our forecast is range and to reach 1.67831.

Rhode Island parents accused of leaving toddler alone in unheated car while shopping


Hasan is an energetic Year 5 student who, as a result of his disability often doesn't sit still to work on certain educational activities and subjects.
At the beginning of the school year, Hasan's teacher met with his parents and discussed which teaching strategies would best meet Hasan's learning needs. His parents explained that Hasan did not work well if he had to spend long periods being quiet at a desk. He needed physical stimulation and tended to move quickly from task to task and topic to topic.
Hasan's teacher recognised that Hasan would learn best in a classroom where students could choose to move around quietly between different work places in the room – at their desks, on the floor or in an adjacent quiet area – with the expectation that all the work would be done. His teacher found that, when given the freedom to move between different work places, Hasan's true academic ability became apparent. Hasan completed more work and needed less individual attention. Several other students in Hasan's class benefited from the adjustment too.

Cathie Wood Just Bought This Stock for Under $5. Should You?
28 Nov 202219:41
AADUSHHSTM PINC MCK
Healthcare company SomaLogic, Inc. (SLGC) operates as a protein biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics firm, developing slow off-rate modified aptamers (SOMAmers) and offering proprietary SomaScan services.
Renowned investor Cathie Wood's firm ARK Invest owns 11.02 million SLGC shares for a total value of $31.95 million, according to its latest 13F filing. The imputed share price was $2.90. SLGC has a 0.2% weight in ARK Invest and a 1.12% weight in ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG). ARK owns 4.97% of the company.
Wood's investment strategy of "disruptive innovation" seems to play well with the company's proteomics platform that aims to address unmet medical needs. SLGC currently measures approximately 7,000 proteins and expects to move toward 10,000 proteins in the future.
However, the stock has declined 76.4% over the past year and 75.5% year-to-date to close its last trading session at $2.85. It has declined 10.7% over the past month. SLGC is trading lower than its 50-day moving average of $3.01 and its 200-day moving average of $5.26.
Here are the factors that could affect SLGC's performance in the near term:
Weak Financials
For the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, SLGC's total revenue increased 108.6% year-over-year to $41.71 million. However, its loss from operations rose 62.4% from the prior-year quarter to $40.61 million. Adjusted EBITDA declined 77.1% from the prior-year period to negative $31.90 million. Its net loss per share came in at $0.18.
Poor Profitability
SLGC's trailing-12-month gross profit margin of 5.29% is 90.4% lower than the industry average of 54.85%. Its trailing-12-month EBITDA margin of negative 134.37% compares to its industry average of 3.55%. Its trailing-12-month net income margin and levered FCF margin of negative 81.72% and 54.13% compare to their respective industry averages of negative 6.23% and 2.44%.
Bleak Analyst Estimates
The consensus EPS estimate of negative $0.21 for the quarter ending December 2022 indicates a 61.5% year-over-year decrease. Likewise, the consensus revenue estimate for the same quarter of $16.15 million reflects a decline of 29.8% from the prior-year period.
Street expects SLGC's revenue and EPS for the quarter ending March 2023 to decline 2.5% and 700% year-over-year to $22.40 million and a negative $0.16, respectively.
POWR Ratings Reflect Bleak Prospects
SLGC's POWR Ratings reflect the company's bleak outlook. The stock has an overall D rating, equating to Sell in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. SLGC has a Growth grade of D, in sync with its weak financials. The stock also has a D grade for Momentum, consistent with the fact that the stock is trading below its moving averages.
The stock has a Quality grade of D, in sync with its bleak profitability.
In the 80-stock Medical – Services industry, it is ranked #66. The industry is rated D.

The company has managed to grow its top line in the third quarter significantly. However, its bottom line remains negative. Moreover, analysts expect top and bottom-line downsides for the current and the next quarter. Hence, the stock might be best avoided now.
How Doe:s SomaLogic, Inc. (SLGC) Stack up Against Its Peers?
While SLGC has an overall POWR Rating of D, one might consider looking at its industry peers, McKesson Corporation (MCK) and HealthStream, Inc. (HSTM), which have an overall A (Strong Buy) rating, and Premier, Inc. (PINC) and Addus HomeCare Corporation (ADUS), which have an overall B (Buy) rating.
SLGC shares were trading at $2.67 per share on Monday afternoon, down $0.18 (-6.32%). Year-to-date, SLGC has declined -77.06%, versus a -15.63% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

Holocaust Museums at a Crossroads: Ethical Debates and Moral Obligations
Sievers, Leah Angell, Religious Studies - Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, University of Virginia
Biemann, Asher, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia
My dissertation, "Holocaust Museums at a Crossroads: Ethical Debates and Moral Obligations," arises out of more than fifteen years of work experience in and study of Jewish and Holocaust museums and Jewish culture, traditions, literature, texts, philosophy, and ethics. The primary goal of my research is to argue that Holocaust museums are at a crossroads as they face the demise of the survivor population, the fact of ongoing genocide and mass atrocities, and the persistence of anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination around the world. In this interest, the dissertation is not just about empirical evidence and curatorial decisions but also about analyzing museum practices through the lens of post-Holocaust Jewish moral thought.
This project is a normative one, and it articulates an ethical and philosophical framework against which museums' curatorial and philosophical choices can be examined. It fits into an unoccupied niche in the field of literature on the Holocaust and Holocaust museums by documenting and analyzing in extensive detail the way that Holocaust museums are filtering and/or prompting the key questions being faced in Holocaust institutions and by the Jewish community today. It examines three major issues: how museums address the subject of modern genocide, how they incorporate survivor testimony, and how—or whether—they present the fact of ongoing anti-Semitism. This work adds layers of specificity and focus to the dialogue on the relation of the Holocaust to other genocides and to an ethical understanding of Holocaust representation.
Methodologically, the project relies upon three specific approaches to assist me in answering questions such as the ones above. First, I employ empirical analysis as it has been developed in the field of cultural anthropology and engage in close examinations of three major Holocaust museums—the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center—through on-site visits, interviews with senior staff, a study of web materials, and close analysis of museum documents such as minutes from meetings and mission statements. The museums and their relevant documents function as primary source materials in my research.
The second approach is historical analysis, and the literature of the field is used as secondary source material that sheds light on the decisions made in the museums and on the history of their development. Finally, there is a philosophical analysis of the empirical and historical data and the patterns documented, employing various philosophical and ethical approaches to formulate an assessment of the future of Holocaust museums in the United States. Philosophical analysis functions here as both an interpretive tool and as a means by which to reflect on specific ethical questions and on the future direction of Holocaust museums. Through the use of these approaches, this dissertation responds to the significance of the issues raised here to the future of Holocaust museums.
