By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of Base64 encoding and decoding in Python and be able to apply this knowledge in your own projects. We will cover various examples, including working with images and binary files, handling common errors and issues, and exploring real-world applications of Base64. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Python’s built-in base64 library to perform encoding and decoding operations on binary data. Since the resulting string only contains 64 different characters (hence the name Base64), it is considered safe for use in most text-based systems. This process is performed by dividing the 24 bits into four groups of six bits each, and then using a pre-defined lookup table to map each group of bits to a specific ASCII character. The Base64 encoding scheme works by taking three bytes of binary data (24 bits) and converting them into four ASCII characters (each represented by 6 bits). Base64 encoding is particularly useful when you need to transmit binary data over a medium that only supports textual data. It is designed to ensure that the resulting string only contains a set of characters that are safe to use in various environments, such as URLs, email attachments, and even embedding within XML documents or JSON payloads. Base64 is a widely used encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. ![]() This is after processing in Lightroom but not shown at full size. ![]() It really does transform your X-Trans photos if you’re used to the results Adobe Lightroom produces.Įdit : A bit of an oversight maybe not to show the whole of the image I used for the comparison in this post. It seems that X-Transformer is very aptly named. X-Transformer can also be used from within Lightroom as an “external editor” (once configured according to the instructions included in the help file) – right click a photo in Lightroom and send it to X-Transformer. I intend to add X-Transformer into my Lightroom workflow by pre-processing all of my Fuji shot photos though it before importing the batch to Lightroom. The image shown in the comparison was produced with X-Transormer before I paid to register it – an event which happened very shortly after I carried out the comparison! It cost me around £32 to purchase the software and this seems like very good value for money to reveal the true brilliant performance of all of my Fuji X-Mount lenses (and my X100T). The results appear to be so clear, so crisp and so sharp that I think I might need to tone down my homemade Lightroom preset for sharpening X-Trans files. Everything is set to “default” for both versions. The only processing has been importing into Lightroom and in the case of the X-Transformer version being converted to a dng and then importing into Lightroom. Looking at the X-Transformer processed version to the right is like putting on a pair of spectacles.Īnd when I say “processed” both of these images are before I’ve done any actual edits on them. The eyebrows and lashes almost seem to smear together, the catch-light just isn’t crisp. The original Lightroom import to the left looks almost like there’s something over the top of the image which makes it less distinct, although at the time I took it I was pleased enough with the photo. It just happened to be one of my favourite portraits of her for quite a while so it was foremost in my mind and I thought that the catch-lights in her eyes along with her eyelashes and eyebrows would give X-Transformer a good test. This is a photo I took of my daughter during a visit to Bolsover Castle on December 27th 2016. The comparison I posted at the head of this post shows very clearly just how much of a difference there is (click on the image to see the full size version). Over the last year or so I had been thinking that Lightroom had caught up a lot and maybe there wouldn’t be a whole lot of difference between X-Transformer results and a native Lightroom import. Once X-Transformer has produced the dng file you are free to import it into any raw processor you like which supports the dng format – for example Adobe Lightroom. What it does is de-mosaic the Fuji raw file and store it as a dng (Digital Negative) file. Iridient X-Transformer isn’t a full-blown raw processing package. I had been checking the Iridient Digital web site for any further news of a Windows release for several months and then just as it seemed like nothing was ever going to happen I seem to have missed the notification by about a week. This was exciting news for me as I found it galling that despite much improvement over the last couple of years Lightroom still didn’t seem to render Fuji raw files as well as Iridient did. Last year I read rumors that Iridient were working on “something for Windows”. As a keen amateur photographer (ie – not somebody who makes a lot of money out of photography) I was not going to switch back to using Macs again just to be able to run Iridient Developer, no matter how much better it might make my results. The software was only available for Mac OS and I switched back from Mac OS to Windows several years ago now. Impressed as I was by the results I was seeing being obtained using Iridient Developer it was sadly not for me. This seemed all the more remarkable as Iridient Digital is a “small” company, indeed to the best of my knowledge a “one-man band”. Iridient seemed to create cleaner, clearer, sharper renderings of the same image. I have often been astonished by the apparent difference in the rendering of Fuji raw files between Adobe Lightroom and Iridient Developer. ![]() ![]() Back then I was a Canon shooter but for the last several years I’ve been shooting more and more Fuji to the point where as I write I’ve not shot using my Canon gear for over a year.Īs a Fuji shooter I have been aware of the raw processing software “ Iridient Developer” for quite some time.

Guesses ranged from $600 to $3k before the big reveal that its introductory launch price would be $149.99. Niemeijer laughs when remembering AssistiveWare giving a presentation at an industry conference just before the app's release in 2009, when the company asked its audience what they thought the app should cost. Proloquo2Go costs £129.99 on the App Store, which sounds very expensive until you think again about those traditional AAC devices costing thousands of pounds. That does mean charging more money than most other app genres. "Of course, we need profitability and sustainability in our business to achieve that, but our first objective is not making a lot of money." "Our main objective is to create products for people that really make a difference in their life," says Niemeijer. Like other developers in the AAC sector, AssistiveWare has to balance the demands of running a sustainable business with the needs of its users. A word like "Mummy" will be able to be spoken in a calling, questioning, angry or even whining tone, for example. That will extend to the upcoming update to Proloquo2Go 3.0, which will include more expressions for the app's voices. "We have a really wide range of users, so making it highly customisable is important." "But we go right up to people in their 90s using the apps after having some kind of surgery, or if they have some kind of condition," he says. Around 20% of AssistiveWare's users are aged five and under, then 40% are aged 6-12 and 20% aged 12-18 according to Niemeijer. It's a user interface that's much more fluid for them."Īpps like Proloquo2Go and its sister product Pictello aren't just for children, even if they form the bulk of their users. With an iPad, it's direct: you move your finger on the screen and the thing slides with you. "They don't have an eye/hand coordination problem like with a mouse. "Especially kids with autism have this instant attraction to the iPad," says Niemeijer. Children with ASD are no different, and in fact, may derive even more benefits. It's become increasingly clear over the last five years that many children have an instinctive feel for touchscreen technology and the apps that come with it. "And in fact, traditional devices would often stay in the classroom, so the child going out to the playground or canteen would not have access to communication." "For someone like Ruby, having an iPod touch in her hand while in gym class works a lot better than taking an expensive computer in," he says. ![]() Niemeijer is keen to stress that the video of Ruby shows the impact the app has had for one specific child – "we don't claim that our app is the only option: there are cases when one of our competitors might be a better choice" – but he says it reflects the impact of putting AAC technology on consumer devices rather than more expensive, specialised hardware. It can be customised by parents to suit their child's age, abilities and interests. The app shows on-screen buttons for words and phrases, which are tapped by its users to form sentences that are spoken by the app. Proloquo2Go launched for iPhone and iPod touch in April 2009 – the latter device is possibly more important than the former for children with ASD – before extending onto iPad in 2010 when that device went on sale. "In 2009, only a thousand of those devices sold in England, but there have been estimates that there are around 300,000 people in England that could actually benefit from having this technology." "In the past, there were very expensive devices that might cost £3k or £5k," he says. The company has been making desktop AAC software since 2000, but spotted an opportunity in Apple's App Store when it launched in 2008. It's a striking video, so I talked to chief executive David Niemeijer to find out more. One of the developers making these apps is AssistiveWare, which came to my notice with this YouTube video about a six year-old girl called Ruby, and her use of its Proloquo2Go augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app on an iPad. ![]() It's also a day to consider the way smartphone and tablet apps are being used by people with ASD and other complex communication needs, including cerebral palsy, down syndrome and developmental disabilities.

They may have difficulties keeping their eyes open. Symptoms of blepharospasmĪ person with blepharospasm may uncontrollably blink, squint, wink, twitch or squeeze closed one or both eyes. In many cases, the symptoms of dry eye either precede blepharospasm or start at the same time, but the significance of this isn’t known. Rarely, more than one family member is affected by blepharospasm, which suggests there may be a genetic factor involved. No one knows what causes the dysfunction or damage. One theory suggests that chemical messages fail to pass from one nerve cell to another in the brain’s movement control centres (the basal ganglia, located at the brain’s base). The causes of blepharospasm are unknown, but abnormalities in the way the brain is working are thought to be involved. Surgery to remove the muscles is a last resort. Treatment includes paralysing the eyelid muscles with injections of the botulinum toxin (available in Australia as Botox® and Dysport® through the PBS). A person with blepharospasm may give up activities such as sports, driving or socialising for fear of ‘losing’ their eyesight to a muscular spasm. In very severe cases, the person is rendered functionally blind, because the muscular spasms force the eyelids shut, sometimes for hours. Men and women of any age can be affected, but middle-aged and older women appear to be particularly susceptible. However, most cases occur spontaneously with no apparent cause. Some of the disorders and conditions associated with blepharospasm include dry eyes and Tourette’s syndrome. Very mild and common twitching of the eyelids is usually referred to as a tic, twitch or flicker of the eyelid. In its more severe (rare) form, the person experiences squeezing and closure of the eyelids – this is the condition that doctors generally refer to as blepharospasm or benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). ![]() Blepharospasm is the term used to describe involuntary movements of the eyelids. ![]() VS Code has per default a pretty basic git integration. VS Code has currently no possibility to show this information: WebStorm shows if there are unresolved promises (in this case for a TypeScript application): Not waiting for promises can be really tricky if you expect the subsequent code to run only after the promise has been resolved. There is currently also a VS Code Karma Test Adapter in development which should provide a similar integrated Karma test functionality for VS Code. Alternatively, I use the karma-jasmine-html-reporter where you can also define to run only certain tests by clicking on them in the HTML page. fdescribe) which tells Karma to only run this certain test block. My Angular unit test workflow in VS Code is normally to mark a describe or it test block with a f (e.g. The following image shows such a test run: Running my jasmine & Karma tests in WebStorm I can easily jump to the failed test code and rerun only this specific test. This way you can run your tests directly from the IDE and even debug them there. WebStorm has an integrated test runner which I really like. This was basically what convinced me that using WebStorm results in a cleaner code base. ![]() To see the difference open your project which was developed in VS Code with WebStorm and run the code inspection. This can have a huge impact on the code quality of a large Angular code base which was mainly developed using VS Code. But if you are, for example, using a TypeScript project (like Angular) VS Code does not detect unused public methods. You can also detect unused methods in JavaScript methods using VS Code and ESLint with the rules no-unused-vars and no-unreachable. It also indexes your whole project and can, for example, detect all unused methods, variables and more. This analysis detects language and runtime errors, suggests corrections and improvements. WebStorm provides a robust, fast, and flexible static code analysis. In the following article, I talk about my experience using WebStorm in a large Angular application which was mainly developed in VS Code. This is a very hot topic and I know this will cause some controversy. In this blog post, I want to tell you why I now mainly use WebStorm instead of VS Code for development. First, I did not really consider his concerns but meanwhile, I understand him. In my current project, I met a developer who was really confused that I was using an editor and not an IDE for the development of large business applications. I really liked it because it was much faster, highly customizable and free so that I could also use it for my private projects. Additionally, I got a WebStorm license from my company and could, therefore, use it without any restrictions.Īs Visual Studio Code got more and more popular I used it for my further web projects. I was already used to JetBrains IDEs as I worked before with Android Studio which is based on IntelliJ IDEA. As I started my first JavaScript project in 2015 I used JetBrains WebStorm which is an IDE (integrated development environment) for JavaScript development. ![]() We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either.

Developed to offer outstanding performance and fit no matter the shape of your feet, Salomon’s S/PRO ALPHA 130 ensures stronger heel lock without putting unnecessary pressure on your instep. The wider shell construction offers more room without compromising its high-performance and reactivity, and it's Gripwalk premounted for more safety grip & walking comfort. Cool FeaturesĪ slightly thicker foot will do well in the X Pro 130 as its Custom Shell molding capabilities can open the fit throughout. Developed for skiers looking for all the performance and fit of an S/PRO boot but adapted to a wider morphology, this boot has been designed with an anatomic last of 102mm. That's a fair trade to make for warmth and comfort with all-mountain ripping capabilities. Testers hinted at only one minor flaw perhaps, yes, perhaps, the snow feel and quickness is a bit muted due to the thickly padded liner. You’ll spend all-day plowing pow and crushing crud with nary a hint of forward rake-induced quad burn. The upright stance make the X Pro an off-piste dream. Skis rolled over and reacted on command with deep, solid medium- and long-radius carves. Yup, it's that user-friendly and comfortable. Salomons Twinframe 2 Construction uses a stiffer plastic on the sole of the boot that increases the torsional. Most testers put it on, skied it, and forgot that it wasn’t their own boot. The Salomon X-Pro 130 is the big, bad, boy of the X-Pro line for aggressive experts. The fit is strong and well-padded but without any forefoot numbing or top-of-foot crushing. There’s plenty of room for wiggling toes and forefoot spreading. ![]() The ankle fit is snugger than the medium class norm and controls the rear foot with no-slip grip. There’s no banging up against shell hard spots here. Salomon’s new S/Pro does just that with its new line, which brings characteristics from its expert boots into a category that is approachable for skiers of all. The first thing testers noticed after getting the boot on (and a little patience is required) was the thickly padded, dense liner that wrapped every curve on their feet. If you’re going to replace the best selling boot line in the worldSalomon’s X Pro, then you better hit it out of the park with the replacement. The X Pro 130 wowed testers (as always) with its perfectly even, firm, medium-width fit profile and bankable turn-to-turn dependability. It now uses polyamide plastic (essentially a Grilamid-like nylon but without the brand name) in the lower shell. The X Pro 130 returns like a hard-training middleweight: it’s lighter and stronger than previous incarnations. |
