mo How to Foster Real-Time Client Engagement During Moderated Research By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0500 When we conduct moderated research, like user interviews or usability tests, for our clients, we encourage them to observe as many sessions as possible. We find when clients see us interview their users, and get real-time responses, they’re able to learn about the needs of their users in real-time and be more active participants in the process. One way we help clients feel engaged with the process during remote sessions is to establish a real-time communication backchannel that empowers clients to flag responses they’d like to dig into further and to share their ideas for follow-up questions. There are several benefits to establishing a communication backchannel for moderated sessions:Everyone on the team, including both internal and client team members, can be actively involved throughout the data collection process rather than waiting to passively consume findings.Team members can identify follow-up questions in real-time which allows the moderator to incorporate those questions during the current session, rather than just considering them for future sessions.Subject matter experts can identify more detailed and specific follow-up questions that the moderator may not think to ask.Even though the whole team is engaged, a single moderator still maintains control over the conversation which creates a consistent experience for the participant.If you’re interested in creating your own backchannel, here are some tips to make the process work smoothly:Use the chat tool that is already being used on the project. In most cases, we use a joint Slack workspace for the session backchannel but we’ve also used Microsoft Teams.Create a dedicated channel like #moderated-sessions. Conversation in this channel should be limited to backchannel discussions during sessions. This keeps the communication consolidated and makes it easier for the moderator to stay focused during the session.Keep communication limited. Channel participants should ask basic questions that are easy to consume quickly. Supplemental commentary and analysis should not take place in the dedicated channel.Use emoji responses. The moderator can add a quick thumbs up to indicate that they’ve seen a question.Introducing backchannels for communication during remote moderated sessions has been a beneficial change to our research process. It not only provides an easy way for clients to stay engaged during the data collection process but also increases the moderator’s ability to focus on the most important topics and to ask the most useful follow-up questions.

mo CLI Equivalents for Common MAMP PRO and Sequel Pro Tasks By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0400 Working on website front ends I sometimes use MAMP PRO to manage local hosts and Sequel Pro to manage databases. Living primarily in my text editor, a terminal, and a browser window, moving to these click-heavy dedicated apps can feel clunky. Happily, the tasks I have most frequently turned to those apps for —starting and stopping servers, creating new hosts, and importing, exporting, deleting, and creating databases— can be done from the command line. I still pull up MAMP PRO if I need to change a host's PHP version or work with its other more specialized settings, or Sequel Pro to quickly inspect a database, but for the most part I can stay on the keyboard and in my terminal. Here's how: Command Line MAMP PRO You can start and stop MAMP PRO's servers from the command line. You can even do this when the MAMP PRO desktop app isn't open. Note: MAMP PRO's menu icon will not change color to reflect the running/stopped status when the status is changed via the command line. Start the MAMP PRO servers: /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd startServers Stop the MAMP PRO servers: /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd stopServers Create a host (replace host_name and root_path): /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd createHost host_name root_path MAMP PRO-friendly Command Line Sequel Pro Note: if you don't use MAMP PRO, just replace the /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql with mysql. In all of the following commands, replace username with your user name (locally this is likely root) and database_name with your database name. The -p (password) flag with no argument will trigger an interactive password prompt. This is more secure than including your password in the command itself (like -pYourPasswordHere). Of course, if you're using the default password root is not particular secure to begin with so you might just do -pYourPasswordHere. Setting the -h (host) flag to localhost or 127.0.0.1 tells mysql to look at what's on localhost. With the MAMP PRO servers running, that will be the MAMP PRO databases. # with the MAMP PRO servers running, these are equivalent: # /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h 127.0.0.1 other_options # and # /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost other_options /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql mysql_options # enter. opens an interactive mysql session mysql> some command; # don't forget the semicolon mysql> exit; Create a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` with your username, which is `root` by default /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p -e "create database database_name" or # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p # and then enter mysql> create database database_name; # don't forget the semicolon mysql> exit MAMP PRO's databases are stored in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db so to confirm that it worked you can ls /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db # will output the available mysql versions. For example I have mysql56_2018-11-05_16-25-13 mysql57 # If it isn't clear which one you're after, open the main MAMP PRO and click # on the MySQL "servers and services" item. In my case it shows "Version: 5.7.26" # Now look in the relevant MySQL directory ls /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db/mysql57 # the newly created database should be in the list Delete a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p -e "drop database database_name" Export a dump of a local database. Note that this uses mysqldump not mysql. # to export an uncompressed file # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u username -p database_name > the/output/path.sql # to export a compressed file # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u username -p database_name | gzip -c > the/output/path.gz Export a local dump from an external database over SSH. Note that this uses mysqldump not mysql. # replace `ssh-user`, `ssh_host`, `mysql_user`, `database_name`, and the output path # to end up with an uncompressed file ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysqldump -u mysql_user -p database_name | gzip -c" | gunzip > the/output/path.sql # to end up with a compressed file ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysqldump -u mysql_user -p database_name | gzip -c" > the/output/path.gz Import a local database dump into a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p database_name < the/dump/path.sql Import a local database dump into a remote database over SSH. Use care with this one. But if you are doing it with Sequel Pro —maybe you are copying a Craft site's database from a production server to a QA server— you might as well be able to do it on the command line. ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysql -u username -p remote_database_name" < the/local/dump/path.sql For me, using the command line instead of the MAMP PRO and Sequel Pro GUI means less switching between keyboard and mouse, less opening up GUI features that aren't typically visible on my screen, and generally better DX. Give it a try! And while MAMP Pro's CLI is limited to the essentials, command line mysql of course knows no limits. If there's something else you use Sequel Pro for, you may be able to come up with a mysql CLI equivalent you like even better. Full Article Code Front-end Engineering Back-end Engineering
mo Together We Flourish, Remotely By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 09 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0400 Like many other companies, Viget is working through the new challenge of suddenly being a fully-distributed company. We don’t know how long it will last or every challenge that will arise because of these unfortunate circumstances, but we know the health and well-being of our people is paramount. As Employee Engagement Manager, I feel inspired by these new challenges, eager to step up, and committed to seeing what good can come of this. Now more than ever, we want to maintain the culture that has sustained us over the last 20 years – a culture that I think is best captured by our mantra, “do great work and be a great teammate.” As everyone is adjusting to new work environments, schedules, and distractions, I am adjusting my approach to employee engagement, and the People Team is looking for new ways to nurture and protect the culture we treasure. The backbone of being a great teammate is knowing each other and caring about each other. For years the People Team has focused on making sure people who work at Viget are known, accepted, and cared about. From onboarding to events to weekly and monthly touchpoints, we invest in coworkers knowing each other. On top of that, we have well-appointed offices where people like to be, and friendships unfold over time. Abruptly becoming fully distributed makes it impossible for some of these connections to happen organically, like they would have around the coffee machine and the lunch tables. These microinteractions between colleagues in the same office, the hellos when you get off the elevator or the “what’d you get up to this weekend” chit chat near the seltzer refrigerator, all add up. We realize more than ever how valuable those moments are, and I know I will feel extra grateful for them when we are all back together.Until that time, we are working to make sure everyone at Viget feels connected, safe, healthy, and most importantly, together, even when we are physically apart. We are keeping up our weekly staff meetings and monthly team lunches, and we just onboarded a new hire last week as thoroughly as ever. There are some other, new ways we’re sparking connections, too. New ways we're sparking connections: Connecting IntentionallyWe are making the most of the tools that we’ve been using for years. New Slack channels have spun up, including #exercise, where folks are sharing how they are making do without a gym, and #igotyou, a place where folks can post where they’ve found supplies in stock as grocery stores are being emptied at an alarming pace.Remote Lunch TablesWe have teammates in three different time zones, on different project teams, and at different stages of life. We’ve created two virtual lunch tables, one at 12PM EST and one at 12PM MST, where folks can join with or without their lunches and with or without their kids, partners, or pets. There are no rules or structure, just an opportunity to chat and see a friendly face as a touchpoint to your day.Last Weekend This MorningCatching up Monday morning is a great way to kick off your week. Historically, I’ve done this from my desk over coffee as I greet folks coming off the elevator (I usually have the privilege of sitting at our front desk). I now do this from my desk, at home, over coffee as folks pop in or out of our Zoom call. One upshot of the new normal is I can “greet” anyone who shows up, not just people who work from my same office. Again, no structure, just a way to start our week, together.Munch MadnessYes, you read that right. Most of the sports world is enjoying an intermission. Since our CEO can’t cheer on his beloved Cavaliers and our VP of Design can’t cheer on his Gators, we’ve created something potentially much better. A definitive snack bracket. There is a minimal time commitment and folks with no sports knowledge can participate. The rules are simple: create and submit your bracket, ranking who you believe will win each snack faceoff. Then as we move through the rounds, vote on your favorite snacks. The competition has already sparked tons of conversation and plenty of snack hot takes. Want to start a munch-off of your own? Check out our bracket as a starting point.Virtual Happy HoursSigning off for the day and shutting down your machine is incredibly important for maintaining a work-life balance. Casually checking in, unwinding, and being able to chat about your day is also important. We have big, beautiful kitchens in each of our offices, along with casual spaces where at the end of any given day you can find a few Vigets catching up before heading home. This is something we don’t want to miss! So we’re setting up weekly happy hours where folks can hop in and say hi to each other face-to-face. We’ve found Zoom to be a great platform so we can see the maximum number of our teammates possible. Like all of our other events, it’s optional. There is also an understanding that your roommate, kid, significant other, or pet might show up on screen (and are welcome!). No one is shamed for multitasking and we encourage our teammates to join as they can. So far we’ve toasted new teammates, played a song or two, and up next we’ll play trivia. At the end of the day, we are all here for one reason: to do great work. Our award-winning work is made possible by the trust we’ve built within our teams. Staying focused and accountable to ourselves and our clients is what drives our motivation to continue to show up and do our best. In our new working environment, it is crucial that we can both stay connected and productive; a lot of teammates are stepping up to support one another. Here are a few ways we are continuing to foster our “do great work” mantra. New ways we're fostering great work: Staying in TouchThe People Team is actively touching base with every employee. Our focus is on their health, productivity, and connection. These 1:1s have given us a baseline for how we can provide the best support for our team, from making sure they're aware of flexible work options to setting them up with the tools they need to be successful. We’ve delivered chairs, monitors, and helped troubleshoot in-home wifi issues. We are committed to making sure every Viget is set up for success.Sharing is CaringWe’re no stranger to remote teams. We have four offices across the U.S. and a handful of full-time remote folks, and we’ve leaned on our inside experts to share their expertise on remote work. Most recently, ourData & Analytics Director, who has been working remotely full time for five years, gave a presentation on best practices for working from home. His top tips for working from home include: Minimize other windows in remote meetings.Set a schedule and avoid midday chores.Take breaks away from the screen.Plan your workday on your shared calendar.Be mindful of Slack and social media as a distraction.Use timers.Keep your work area separate from where you relax.Pretend that you’re still working from work.Experiment and figure out what works for you. Our UX Research Director also stepped up to share her expertise to aid in adjusting to our new working conditions. She led a microclass on remote facilitation where she shared best practices and went over tools that support remote collaboration. Some of the tools she highlighted included Miro, Mural, Whimsical, and Jamboard. During the microclass she demonstrated use of Whimsical’s voting feature, which makes it easy for distributed groups to establish discussion topic priorities.Always PreparedHaving all of our project materials stored in the Cloud in a consistent, predictable way is a cornerstone of our business continuity plan. It is more important than ever for our team to follow the established best practices and ensure that project files are accessible to the full Viget team in the event of unplanned time off. Our VP of Client Services is leading efforts to ensure everyone is aware of and following our established guidelines with tools like Drive, Slack, Github, and Figma. Our priorities are that clients’ needs are met, quality is high, and timelines are honored. As the pandemic unfolds, our approach to employee engagement will evolve. We have more things in the works to build and maintain connections while distributed, including trivia and game nights, book clubs, virtual movie nights, and community service opportunities, just to name a few.

mo The entropy of holomorphic correspondences: exact computations and rational semigroups. (arXiv:2004.13691v1 [math.DS] CROSS LISTED) By arxiv.org Published On :: We study two notions of topological entropy of correspondences introduced by Friedland and Dinh-Sibony. Upper bounds are known for both. We identify a class of holomorphic correspondences whose entropy in the sense of Dinh-Sibony equals the known upper bound. This provides an exact computation of the entropy for rational semigroups. We also explore a connection between these two notions of entropy. Full Article
mo On the finiteness of ample models. (arXiv:2005.02613v2 [math.AG] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: In this paper, we generalize the finiteness of models theorem in [BCHM06] to Kawamata log terminal pairs with fixed Kodaira dimension. As a consequence, we prove that a Kawamata log terminal pair with $mathbb{R}-$boundary has a canonical model, and can be approximated by log pairs with $mathbb{Q}-$boundary and the same canonical model.

mo Almost invariant subspaces of the shift operator on vector-valued Hardy spaces. (arXiv:2005.02243v2 [math.FA] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: In this article, we characterize nearly invariant subspaces of finite defect for the backward shift operator acting on the vector-valued Hardy space which is a vectorial generalization of a result of Chalendar-Gallardo-Partington (C-G-P). Using this characterization of nearly invariant subspace under the backward shift we completely describe the almost invariant subspaces for the shift and its adjoint acting on the vector valued Hardy space.

mo Some Quot schemes in tilted hearts and moduli spaces of stable pairs. (arXiv:2005.02202v2 [math.AG] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: For a smooth projective variety $X$, we study analogs of Quot functors in hearts of non-standard $t$-structures of $D^b(mathrm{Coh}(X))$. The technical framework is that of families of $t$-structures, as studied in arXiv:1902.08184. We provide several examples and suggest possible directions of further investigation, as we reinterpret moduli spaces of stable pairs, in the sense of Thaddeus (arXiv:alg-geom/9210007) and Huybrechts-Lehn (arXiv:alg-geom/9211001), as instances of Quot schemes.

mo Approximate Two-Sphere One-Cylinder Inequality in Parabolic Periodic Homogenization. (arXiv:2005.00989v2 [math.AP] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: In this paper, for a family of second-order parabolic equation with rapidly oscillating and time-dependent periodic coefficients, we are interested in an approximate two-sphere one-cylinder inequality for these solutions in parabolic periodic homogenization, which implies an approximate quantitative propagation of smallness. The proof relies on the asymptotic behavior of fundamental solutions and the Lagrange interpolation technique. Full Article
mo An embedding of the Morse boundary in the Martin boundary. (arXiv:2004.14624v2 [math.GR] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: We construct a one-to-one continuous map from the Morse boundary of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to its Martin boundary. This construction is based on deviation inequalities generalizing Ancona's work on hyperbolic groups. This provides a possibly new metrizable topology on the Morse boundary of such groups. We also prove that the Morse boundary has measure 0 with respect to the harmonic measure unless the group is hyperbolic. Full Article
mo Finite dimensional simple modules of $(q, mathbf{Q})$-current algebras. (arXiv:2004.11069v2 [math.RT] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: The $(q, mathbf{Q})$-current algebra associated with the general linear Lie algebra was introduced by the second author in the study of representation theory of cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebras. In this paper, we study the $(q, mathbf{Q})$-current algebra $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_n^{langle mathbf{Q} angle}[x])$ associated with the special linear Lie algebra $mathfrak{sl}_n$. In particular, we classify finite dimensional simple $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_n^{langle mathbf{Q} angle}[x])$-modules. Full Article
mo Automorphisms of shift spaces and the Higman--Thomspon groups: the one-sided case. (arXiv:2004.08478v2 [math.GR] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: Let $1 le r < n$ be integers. We give a proof that the group $mathop{mathrm{Aut}}({X_{n}^{mathbb{N}}, sigma_{n}})$ of automorphisms of the one-sided shift on $n$ letters embeds naturally as a subgroup $mathcal{h}_{n}$ of the outer automorphism group $mathop{mathrm{Out}}(G_{n,r})$ of the Higman-Thompson group $G_{n,r}$. From this, we can represent the elements of $mathop{mathrm{Aut}}({X_{n}^{mathbb{N}}, sigma_{n}})$ by finite state non-initial transducers admitting a very strong synchronizing condition. Let $H in mathcal{H}_{n}$ and write $|H|$ for the number of states of the minimal transducer representing $H$. We show that $H$ can be written as a product of at most $|H|$ torsion elements. This result strengthens a similar result of Boyle, Franks and Kitchens, where the decomposition involves more complex torsion elements and also does not support practical extit{a priori} estimates of the length of the resulting product. We also give new proofs of some known results about $mathop{mathrm{Aut}}({X_{n}^{mathbb{N}}, sigma_{n}})$. Full Article
mo New ${cal N}{=},2$ superspace Calogero models. (arXiv:1912.05989v2 [hep-th] UPDATED) By arxiv.org Published On :: Starting from the Hamiltonian formulation of ${cal N}{=},2$ supersymmetric Calogero models associated with the classical $A_n, B_n, C_n$ and $D_n$ series and their hyperbolic/trigonometric cousins, we provide their superspace description. The key ingredients include $n$ bosonic and $2n(n{-}1)$ fermionic ${cal N}{=},2$ superfields, the latter being subject to a nonlinear chirality constraint. This constraint has a universal form valid for all Calogero models. With its help we find more general supercharges (and a superspace Lagrangian), which provide the ${cal N}{=},2$ supersymmetrization for bosonic potentials with arbitrary repulsive two-body interactions.
