Best of Fluent 2012: /Reg(exp){2}lained/: Demystifying Regular Expressions
From Fluent 2012 Quick, what does this do: /(\/\*?\/)|\/\/.*?(\r?\n|$)/g? If you’re like many developers, you just averted your eyes, and your heart is now in your throat. Symptoms included sweaty palms and recurring nightmares with blood-thirsty ASCII symbols. But don’t worry, this condition doesn’t have to be chronic. A cure is right around the corner. As with many developers, you’re familiar with the power of regular expressions, but anything beyond the basics scares the crap out of you. Fear no more young padawan! In this talk, we’ll start with the basics and progressively enhance your knowledge until you’re coding regular expressions like a champ. Everything will be demonstrated live with visual examples that ensure maximum comprehension. About Lea Verou Lea works as a Developer Advocate for W3C. She has a long-standing passion for open web standards, which she fulfills by researching new ways to use them, blogging, speaking, writing, and coding popular open source projects to help fellow developers. She is a member of the CSS Working Group, which architects the language itself. Lea studied Computer Science in Athens University of Economics and Business, where she co-organized and occasionally lectured a cutting edge Web development course for 4th year undergrads. She is one of the few misfits who love code and design equally. Produced by: Yasmina Grecp

An Affordable, Adaptable, Resilient, Robust Robotic Hand
The ARM-H track of DARPA’s Autonomous Robotic Manipulation (ARM) program focuses on development of robust, low-cost and dexterous robotic hand hardware. DARPA funded performers to design and build hand mechanisms that could replace the claw-like hands currently used on robots with hands incorporating 3-4 fingers and useable palms. The teams successfully produced hands that can be manufactured for as little as $3,000 per unit (in batches of 1,000 or more), down from the $50,000 cost of current technology. The new hands also incorporate sufficient dexterity to enable manipulation of objects in their fingers when controlled by a skilled operator. This technology helps pave the way for adaptable, low-cost robots that can use a wide range of human tools to assist in dangerous defense missions. The hand in this video was developed by iRobot of Bedford, Mass. For more information on DARPA’s ARM program, see: http://1.usa.gov/11XYMEZ.

Simple living on a narrowboat home in West End London
Emma Freemantle lives in pricey West End London (near Regent’s Park), but she could afford to buy her home because she lives aboard what she calls a “floating caravan log cabin”. Her home is a narrowboat: boats so narrow they were built in the past few centuries to fit Britain’s narrow canals (some are less than 7 feet wide). Her floating home is part of a community of narrowboats on London’s Regents Canal where she has lived for the past 6 years (her sister Victoria helped her buy her boat). All the boats here come with a mooring which is permitted, though as Emma points out there are plenty of boat owners on London’s (and Britain’s) canals who continuously cruise without a fixed mooring address. Emma has also made her boat into a floating office where she crafts handmade creations from secondhand and vintage finds for her Worn With Love label (she’s also a freelance fashion stylist). Her liveaboard life may be cheaper than flats in her area, but the lifestyle requires constant maintenance: disposing of toilet waste, filling the water tank, replacing cannisters of butane gas and even buying pre-paid cards for electricity. Her daily life may take more work, but Emma sees this as part of what makes it so magical. More info on original story: http://bit.ly/XYq8NX Worn With Love: http://bit.ly/17c4Z3g

Tentsile tree tents: floating treehouses mimic spider webs
Treehouse architect Alex Shirley-Smith wanted to create a portable treehouse, a kind of ready-made, floating shelter that could be assembled in any backyard, wood or even city streets. In 2010 Shirley-Smith released several tree tent prototypes inspired by spiders’ webs. “A spider always uses three anchoring points and the web finds its own position in space that’s a circle in between any of those 3 points. So as long as you’ve got 3 anchoring points this tent will find its own central position to create its own shape inside that triangle. The whole thing is sort of taken from spider’s web technology or you know, what exists in nature. Biomicmicry.” After refining 11 prototypes, Shirley-Smith and partner Kirk Kirchev finally released a production model tree tent- the Tentsile Stingray. Using just 3 tree straps, 2 poles and one fly sheet, the Stingray will shelter up to 4 people in mid-air. It takes about 10 minutes to set-up and a few minutes to take down. And best of all, it is one size fits all. The tent can be used as a camping alternative- to keep you comfortably suspended above any animals, bugs or uncomfortable rocks-, but the design could also prove the basis for a new type of eco-village. Kirchev dreams of one day creating a community of (much larger) tensile structures where portable villages could be mounted and disassembled in a day, leaving little impact on the forest floor.

Making the Web Rock: The Web Audio API
Join Google’s Chris Wilson as he asks, and answers, “Why do we need another audio API?” While the audio tag is excellent for playing an audio file and streaming, it’s limited in the sense that it wraps everything up in one step: loading, decoding, and getting ready to play. The Web Audio API, however, provides us with: 1) precise timing of lots of overlapping sounds 2) an audio pipeline/routing system for effects and filters 3) hooks to analyze and visualize audio data on the fly All the sudden a whole new world of audio possibilities opens up, like online digital synthesis and super precise audio triggering for games and other applications. Chock-full of demos, if you like the internet, music, and synthesizers, check out this great presentation. ** For all the great talks from HTML5 Dev Conf 4, head to: http://mrkn.co/ci43u

Building Brains to Understand the World’s Data
Google Tech Talk February 12, 2013 (more info below) Presented by Jeff Hawkins. ABSTRACT The neocortex works on principles that are fundamentally different than traditional computers. In this talk I will describe recent advances in understanding the neocortex and how we are applying them to model millions of high velocity data streams. The talk will start with a description of sparse distributed representations, which are the fundamental units of information in brains. I will then discuss how these representations are learned and how the brain processes them to build predictive models from sensory data. Numenta has built a product called Grok that emulates these capabilities of the neocortex. Grok is being used to understand high velocity machine generated data in many different domains. I will give a brief introduction to Grok and speculate on the future of machine intelligence.

For downloads and more information visit: http://bit.ly/XBDwBA Modern technology is often blamed for a wide range of learning problems in today’s children. But are modern gadgets themselves at fault, or is it simply the way they are being used that needs to be addressed? Teacher Meggen calls out, “you want to move on to the iPods?”. A chorus of young voices respond: “Yeah!” Meggen runs a thoroughly modern classroom, integrating technology with tradition. According to professor Nick Lux, “it provides a rich learning experience, that’s more accessible for all the students in a classroom”. It may also be the only way to reach the distracted minds of modern youth. Casey Kanode

Michael Dickinson: How a fly flies
An insect’s ability to fly is perhaps one of the greatest feats of evolution. Michael Dickinson looks at how a common housefly takes flight with such delicate wings, thanks to a clever flapping motion and flight muscles that are both powerful and nimble. But the secret ingredient: the incredible fly brain. (Filmed at TEDxCaltech.)

360 Video
Google Tech Talk January 4, 2013 (expand for more info) Presented by Tim Conway ABSTRACT GoPano plus uses a specially curved mirror. Its shape gathers light from all directions and reﬂects it into the lens of your camera. This single image/video shows everything in a 360° ring around the GoPano plus. On your computer, this warped image is transformed (“unwarped”) into an interactive scene where anyone can control the view. Once you have the raw photos and/or videos, you’ll need software to edit them. We provide PhotoWarp (for images) and VideoWarp Director (for 360° videos). Whether you’re shooting 360° stills, panoramic videos, or both, we’ve got you covered. The GoPano plus has a standard 67mm photographic ﬁlter thread base which can be easily adapted to ﬁt almost all the digital cameras, DSLR lenses, and camcorders. GoPano Step Rings can adapt any camera or lens with a ﬁlter thread to connect directly to the GoPano plus. SPEAKER INFO: Tim Conway (http://imdb.to/XWNRXO) Not to be confused with actor in the Dorf videos, Tim Conway has been creating, supervising, and creating unique technology in the field of Visual Effects and Post Production since 1997. His latest endeavor is a camera lens with an attached mirror which allows you to take 360 degree panoramic still images or video. This Tech Talk was presented at Google’s LA office.
