Today I received a gift that relates to Southern American history and culture.
Engraved on the cup was this: Virginia Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (VASEM), COVES 2022 on the other side.
Of course, I am one of the Commonwealth of Virginia Engineering & Science (COVES) Policy Fellows for year 2022!
But why a cup? Of this rather peculiar shape?
I had this brilliant idea of adding a cornell style note page after every single page of a paper I am reviewing. Because why not, right? Everyone loves tinkering around the reviewing process instead of actually reviewing, so … there.
Turns out that it is fairly simple to do this programmatically using python these days. You need a PyPi packaged called pypdf2 package before, and a template style cornell page that you can generate from here.
You are golden at this point. Here are the steps:
It has been (a little over) nine years since I first started working on Brightness Controller for Linux. My goals were simple when making this,
a) learn Python as a programming language and
b) solve a pain point for me.
Turns out that my pain point is also a pain point for other people!
Recently I faced a few problems for a paper written using ACM conference template. The problems were related to Bibliography, IEEE PDF eXpress and Bookmarks! Here are the details and how I solved them with the help of different materials available across the Internet.
How well do tools that detect Cryptographic misuse (i.e., Crypto-detectors) work in practice?
We answer this question in our IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (A*/top-tier) 2022 paper using a systematic, data-driven mutation framework for evaluating detectors, that reveals significant flaws in popular tools.
Please turn on sound!
