Undoubtedly the highlight of our program today is the imminent induction into the Queensland Police Service of the Recruits on Parade. I know that many of you have travelled long distances to be here for this very reason. Before a Recruit begins to perform their duties as a constable of police, there is a formal process to be applied in accordance with the Police Service Administration Regulation. This practice requires the individual Recruit to pledge their loyalty to our sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II. The member then subscribes to the oath or affirmation of office in the presence of a commissioned police officer. This segment referred to as an induction is the transition from the learning environment to being a sworn officer in the Queensland Police Service. As part of the process, each member is presented with a wallet, including their identity card and official police badge. Table officers, please fall in. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the formal undertaking of the oath and affirmation of office by the graduating recruits. The administration of the oath and affirmation is delivered by the Commissioner of Police in accordance with the prescribed regulation. I invite my colleagues to reaffirm their allegiance to our sovereign by reciting the oath or affirmation of office in unison with the recruits on Parade today. Preface by the word I, state your given names and surname in full. You are to repeat your oath or affirmation of office after me. I swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly serve my sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors, according to law in the office of Constable, or in such capacity as I may be appointed, promoted or reduced, without favour, affection, malice or ill will, from this date until I am discharged. That I will cause her Majesty's peace to be kept and preserved, that I will prevent to the best of my power all offences against the same. And that, while I am a member of the Queen's Ampli Service, I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all duties legally imposed upon me, faithfully and according to law. So help me God. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Table officers, please be seated. Today we are inducting 45 recruits into the service. Their training include instruction in the areas of legislation, driver training, physical skills education, computer training and firearms and officer safety. All facilitators involved in the training of the graduating groups are comprised of sworn officers with years of operational experience and staff members who come from an academic and instructional background. All facilitators possess the skills required to teach in accordance with the high education requirements for this training establishment. The intake coordinator is Acting Senior Sergeant Trevor Went. Acting Senior Sergeant Went is an experienced police officer with over 37 years of experience. He is a nursing skills instructor and is currently seconded to the Recruit Training Unit as intake coordinator. As part of the 150th anniversary celebrations, specially designed tables have been made for the ceremonial aspect for the recruits to subscribe to their oath of service. These tables have been made from Queensland Blackbuck Timber. The signature metal police badges featured on the front complement the handcrafted creations. Additionally, a symbolic part of the design and manufacture process was to infuse each table with a small powdered portion from each tree in the avenue of remembrance. As a way to honour and remember the service of all the officers who have died in the line of duty serving the state of Queensland. The banner created today is a symbol given to the police service for the people of Queensland in recognition of 150 years of exemplary loyal and dedicated law enforcement. This significant icon honours the service given by the men and women who have contributed to helping make Queensland a safe and secure place to live, visit and to do business. It is carried in all ceremonial parades as a sign of respect given to the citizens of our state. Today's banner party is composed of facilitators from the Recruit Training Unit. The privilege of carrying the banner today is given to Acting Sergeant Column Flaherty. The escorts for the banner are Sergeant Flaherty Partridge and Sergeant Kath Brady. On the 1st of January of this year all serving police officers were presented with a Queensland Police Service 150 year citation by the Commissioner of Police. Today the graduating constables are also being presented with this citation. The citation has an internal blue and white checkered ribbon surrounded by an antique silver metallic frame. The blue is the same colour used in all Queensland Police Service insignia and is given in recognition of ethical and diligent service. The checkered design is traditional and is used to represent police around the world. Etched into the metallic frame are the words Queensland Police printed above the colour and the numerals 1864 to 2014 are written below. To commemorate the sesquicentennial anniversary of our organisation a book has been produced by our museum curator Ms Lisa Jones and her staff. The book is titled Policing Queensland 1864 to 2014 150 years. This manuscript captures a pictorial history of operational policing and other related events as the organisation evolved throughout this period. The book, available in both hard and soft cover, will make a great gift especially for the graduating constables who are commencing their new careers today. It is available for sale today in the Academy canteen and the Commissioner will be available to sign your copy if you wish to purchase this record of our history. Thank you table officers please fall out. The Queensland Police Service Statement of Ethics underpins our vision, mission, role and the values of the service namely courage, fairness and pride. It is a commitment that every member undertakes in accordance with the standards of practice, the code of conduct and the functions of the organisation under the Police Service Administration Act. The Statement of Ethics is a standard expected by the Commissioner of Police, his colleagues and the greater community. It is an acceptance by the individual officer to practice high standards of conduct and behaviour as a police officer both on and off duty. I now invite Constable McIntosh to adopt the Statement of Ethics on behalf of the constables on parade. On behalf of the new constables I am pleased to adopt this Statement of Ethics. As a member of the Queensland Police Service I have a duty to protect life and property, preserve the peace, prevent offences, detect and apprehend offenders and help those in need of assistance. At all times I will carry out my duties without fear or favour, malice or ill will. I will act honestly and with the utmost integrity. I will make every effort to respect and uphold the rights of all people regardless of race, social status or religion. I will strive for excellence and endeavour to improve my knowledge and professionalism. I will keep confidential all matters which I may learn in the course of my official capacity except as necessary. I will practice self-discipline in word and deed both on and off duty. I will resist the temptation to participate in any activity which is improper or which can be construed as being improper. I will not misuse my office for personal gain. I will accept responsibility for my own actions and for acts which I may order. I accept the desirability of these ethics as an integral part of my personal and professional life. Thank you Constable McIntosh. Police Chaplain, Reverend Andrew Robertson will now offer the blessing. Lord God, we know that it is through establishing process for justice, peace and good order that a caring community works to keep safe those who are vulnerable and innocent. For this reason we ask your blessing upon these newly graduated Constables as they become sworn members of the Queensland Police Service. We thank you for their willingness to serve the community in this way and we are thankful for the hard work and personal application they have given whilst preparing themselves for the duties of being a police officer. We pray that they may always exercise the powers of their office with responsibility and that they may be aware of the influence they are entrusted with as police officers. Lord, empower these new officers with courage when they are confronted by danger. Give them integrity when confronted with ethical choices. Endow them with compassion when assisting those suffering and victimised. Grant them impartiality when enforcing the law and bless them with a willing graciousness to accept assistance when needed. Be present with these officers in the challenges of their new profession so that at the end of every shift they may, with confidence and pride, know that they have served with honour. Thank you Reverend Robertson. Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner Stewart will now address the parade. Could I acknowledge our very, very special guest, the Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services, the Honourable Jack Dempsey MP Minister. In your busy schedule, can I personally thank you for taking the time to come to what is one of the most important ceremonies in the life of the Queensland Police Service. To Chief Executive Officer of Public Safety Business Agency, Mr Kelvin Anderson. Kelvin is our partner in producing and enabling the services that we provide to the community of Queensland and I thank you for being here. To my deputies, Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett, Specialist Operations, Deputy Commissioner Steve Golcheski from Strategy, Policy and Performance, Acting Deputy Commissioner Mr Peter Barron from Regional Ops. To our host today, the Executive Manager of Education and Training, Chief Superintendent Debbie Platts. To Brian Wilkins, the President of the Commissioned Officers Union and Ian Leaves, the President of the Police Union of Employees. To all of the Commissioned Officers who are here today and other colleagues of mine in the Queensland Police Service, to all of the distinguished guests who were acknowledged earlier. Ladies and gentlemen, but most importantly our 45 newest constables before you on the parade ground. I'd also like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the place on which we meet today and I pay my respects to the distinguished elders past and present. Today I'm going to break with my normal presentation that I do at these parades because I want to talk to four different groups of people who are here in our presence today. The first is to you, the family, the friends, the loved ones, the supporters of our 45 newest constables. You have just become, along with these fine people, the newest members of our organisation. You are very much going to be part of their lives into the future. You will need to support them significantly throughout their careers with us. Because the life they've chosen is not an easy one. The path of policing is complex, difficult and it's sometimes dangerous. So I appeal to each one of you, please provide and continue to provide the love and support that you have that have got them to this position today. I hope that every one of you is very proud of our newest constables on parade today. I also, the second group that I want to address today are my police colleagues. I particularly want to thank all of those people in our organisation and across our portfolio who have been responsible for getting these people to this point in their lives, not their careers in their lives. Selecting them, training them, presenting them in this way is a real credit to all of those involved. But to all of my colleagues I'd remind them, this is sworn and unsworn, the whole big team of policing, that we have a long job ahead. And that job is to mental, to counsel, to guide and to work with these fine people as part of the Queensland Police team. Something that you'll learn very early in your life in policing is that you don't get anything done by yourself and I'm acutely aware of that in the privileged position that I hold. It is in fact all of these people in suits of blue, it is all of our support staff who actually make Queensland a safer and more secure place. And I thank every one of them every day for doing that. Part of our role though will be to help these people before you, our newest constables, reach their potential in the Queensland Police Service. And who knows, in years to come there might be a commissioner or a police amongst them. I certainly hope so. The third group that I want to talk to today are our special guests who are here, including our minister. What they represent is the community. It's our sponsors who support us, it's the different arms of government that are here. It is other government agencies, it's our brothers and sisters in other emergency services. And on that note, can I just mention that our hearts are with the commissioner of the fire service today, Lee Johnson, whose wife is very, very ill. And I certainly hope that she recovers fully from her present condition. But these people who are here, our special guests who are here today are here for a purpose. The purpose is to demonstrate not just to our newest constables and not just to remind us as your police department, but to demonstrate to all of the loved ones that are here today, the family and loved ones, that the community does really back us. That the community is there to work with us to ensure that peace and safety every day. It's very important to me as the commissioner that we do have that support. And I know that my senior executive joined with me in thanking all of the members of those agencies who are here demonstrating our partnership as a whole of government approach to the work that we need to do in Queensland. And finally, the fourth group that I want to talk to are you, our 45 newest constables. As I said, you haven't chosen an easy path. There will be great days and there will be some days that aren't so great. I hope and I know that you have the resilience and the fortitude to get through that. I've asked every one of you to have courage, fairness and pride in the work that you do every day. I hope that if you stick with those tenants, that if you focus on those, that you will reach your potential as fully sworn and fully trained and fully equipped autonomous police officers. Something which will take, and we know this to be true from experience, it will take you about five years to reach that point. Don't ever for one minute think that you haven't got the ability to do it. In the 150 year history of the Queensland Police Service, not counting the 11,000 odd police officers we have in the organization today, there have been 30,000 people that have been through this exact ceremony, this job before you. And they've done it well. We are very proud of our traditions in our history. I hope you will be and I hope that you will reach your potential to the point where we are going to be very, very proud of you as members of your organization. Again, thank you for choosing the Queensland Police Service as your career of choice. I wish every one of you well. I wish you safety in your work and I certainly ask that you always focus on doing what's right for the people of Queensland. Thank you. Thank you Commissioner. I now introduce our principal official guest, the Honourable Mr. Jack Dempsey. Commissioner Ian Stewart, Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, Members of the Commissioned Officers, Other Police Officers, representatives from our Defence Services, from the Commissioned Officers Police Union, from the Police Union, from the Police Credit Union, even from members from the Scouts and other government agencies that we have here today. From the other emergency services that we have here, from the Rural Fires to the other emergency services to the CEO Kelvin Anderson of the Public Safety Business Agency. To you, all the members of the community, mums, dads, brothers and sisters, loved ones, friends, partners, to Peter Flexman and the pipes and drums, to the members of the traffic branch that came in here so ever skillfully to manoeuvre their bikes on this slippery grass just a little while ago, to the recruits that are yet to go through and are looking on anew, the new constables with great admiration. To the young children here that are our future and when we look around this particular parade ground that holds so much symbols of pride, tradition and we look at the banner for 150 years of policing and think what other officers and families have gone through to protect the people and the property and the values of this great state of Queensland. I think of three words for these 45 new recruits and that is that everybody here and we talk about Saint Michael as the patron saint of policing and I had 20 years to be able to have Saint Michael at my side in the police service and in that vein I'd like to also acknowledge the chaplains that will be here in your times to be able to assist you with your families in times of need and young Michael who comes with his carer here, Michael he comes to every induction parade. Everybody here is here because they are proud of you, they trust you and they believe in you. Those three attributes of pride, trust and belief are not attributes that are given, they're attributes that are earned and everybody here is certainly proud of the time that you have taken over the many weeks to finally being sworn in here as constables of the Queensland Police Service to leave this parade ground with the same authority as the highest ranked commissioner of police to take the rights and liberties away from a Queenslander but also to act in part of that oath to serve with that favour, affection, malice or ill will and these are certainly things, these are a burden on your shoulder, on your shoulders but it's on the same shoulders of every other officer and all the officers that have come in the past and I know that the training that you receive for your instructors here and the support of your colleagues in the police service and your family will get you through those hard times Over the last few days I've had the privilege to go with Deputy Commissioner Peter Barron to the Gulf and Cape communities from Mornington Island to Arakoon to Dilmaji to Torres Strait and everything in between and there I've met some of the most exceptional officers in charge from senior sergeants to junior constables and I can tell you that they are doing the people of Queensland, the Queensland Police Service a great deal of pride and honour and the way that they serve in those communities but one thing I also want to recognise is the sacrifices that their families give to supporting those officers in those communities so I say to the families here today thank you because entire tough times you are going to be these constables rock of support to help them get through the tough times and in return I ask all 45 constables here to remember that you are also part and welcome you to the police family but please remember and as part of an experience for myself never believe home angry please take the time to say thank you to have a caring word to your loved one or partner or family member because you are going to go out and then come across all different types of emotions and as in life you never want to live with regrets so please always take the time to make sure you leave your home on a good night everybody's proud of you I wish you well in your endeavours your future within the Queensland Police Service be united believe in what you do use enthusiasm commitment and you will get through this all together thank you very much all the best with your careers work hard the people of Queensland certainly you are Queensland's finest when they go to bed at night they need to know that the Queensland Police Service is out there protecting them and they can sleep soundly in their beds at night it might seem a little thing but at the end of the day safety is one of the most important attributes to the community and as an indicative when we see the recruits here today and we read in the induction catalogue that we have constables that now come from all different demographics of their community and that is reflective of a modern police force so we will continue to support you please enjoy every moment chew on it like a piece of cake and don't stop chewing because there's many careers there's many adventures ahead of you we're all proud of you and we wish you all the best thank you thank you Mr Dempsey the parade will now retire and reform this movement involves the constables marching back in line advancing and conducting addressing in preparation to perform the closing segment of the ceremony in the final maneuver of the ceremony the parade will advance in review order this movement involves the constables marching forward in line concluding with a general salute this is performed with no offensive spirit and has given us a mark of respect to the Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services the Commissioner of Police and members of the senior leadership team Inspector Darren Carnes will now resume command with the parade the parade commander will now call for the parade sergeant and hand over command ladies and gentlemen the banner party accompanied by the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums will now march off parade to QPS 150 will you please stand thank you ladies and gentlemen please be seated the constables started as a recruit intake in February of 2014 and were trained in two individual groups they will now form a united intake in preparation to serve the community of Queensland as newly sworn police officers the parade sergeant will now call for a member of the graduating intake to assume command of the new constables this final gesture recognises the individual or displayed leadership throughout the training program ladies and gentlemen the new constables of the Queensland Police Service before the constables are dismissed may I thank you once again for being here with us this morning at the conclusion of the parade please feel free to move on to the ground to congratulate the men and women who are now joining their colleagues serving the people of Queensland we then like to invite you for light refreshments to be served in the academy dining room on behalf of the commissioner and members of the Queensland Police Service may I thank you for your attendance and wish you a safe journey home Constable Steele will now lead the new members in thanking you in their own special way he will then dismiss the parade


From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of OutSystems Next Step 2020 brought to you by OutSystems. Hi and welcome to theCUBE's coverage of OutSystems Next Step. I'm your host Stu Miniman and happy to welcome back to the program. He's relatively fresh off the keynote stage. He's also a CUBE alum. So happy to welcome Paolo Rosado. He's the founder and CEO of OutSystems. Paolo, thanks so much for joining us and thanks for having theCUBE at your event. No, it's a pleasure Stu, we have to be here. So, you know, your keynote, you know, one of the big themes we've been talking about for quite a while in the industry, of course, is the growth and importance of developers and something that I heard loud and clear from you and your team are talking about. It's really about helping companies, you know, it's move faster, it's be more agile and it's really expanding, you know, we need more developers, we need them to be able to on-ramp faster and especially here in 2020, as I said, you and I spoke earlier this year at kind of the early stages of the global pandemic. Right now we know it's, you know, we can't have people slow down even when they can't go to the office, even though a lot of developers were dispersed as it is.  No, absolutely. I mean, we're really excited about this event. This has gone way beyond our wildest expectations in terms of a tendency and all of that. And it's been absolutely fantastic. I mean, what we've seen, what we've seen is a growing demand from enterprises for solutions that are extremely differentiated. You can actually get softer, you can get digital systems out of the box, but there's an increasing number of systems like portals and workflows and applications that you actually have to infuse with your business process, with your intellectual property, with you as a business, and therefore you have to build your own software. And so the amount of software that's being built inside organizations is increasing. It's increasing to a point where these enterprises are facing all sorts of issues related to proliferation, to skill sets, the fact that they cannot hire enough developers, enough architects, enough SecOps people.  And they heard because they are, they want to build the software, but they have a lot of difficulties in finding the tools and the skill sets. Yeah, it's great to come to an event like this and hear people, they're excited about building applications, they're getting into code. It's been almost too easy this year, Palo, to say, oh, there's so many challenges, at home, everyone's fighting over bandwidth and space and there's those challenges. So we need to be able to see kind of that joy into what I can build things and get things done. So, how are you seeing that? What feedback are you getting? And as we said, 2020, we all know was a challenging year. Yeah, it's been a challenging year, but it's also been a year of opportunities. And we see that all over our install base and our prospect base and our partners and our community. And in general, these events at OutSystems have a very different vibe from your typical corporate event because one of the things that's unique about OutSystems is everyone who comes to this event have built something unique. And so it's very gratifying when you're talking with customers and you're talking with developers, the one thing they want to talk about is how they fixed one particular very unique problem that they faced using OutSystems and they exchanged these war stories about how fast they were and how quickly they managed to overcome a particular challenge or when they got the change request from the business that was we need to do this in two hours or 24 hours, whatever horrible timeline that they get and they were able to do it. It's these stories that get exchange around the next step floor in this event. And this one has been going on exactly as we've seen the other ones which were physical events in the past. So, Paolo, on the keynote stage you talked about the fact that you've now got over 1400 customers, you've got 300 partners. You're not just some new startup. OutSystems have been around for two decades now. Talk a little bit about your growth, some of the innovations that are driving customers and increasing where they're coming to OutSystems. No, absolutely. I mean, the major innovations that we have been doing is we have been focused a lot on addressing the need for speed. I mean, the cycles of innovation have been compressing in the past years. And every year there is a further compression of the cycle. And so, business are coming back to developers, are coming back to IT. They are, some of these business folks, departments are completely autonomous in terms of building some digital systems. And all of them have this need for speed, for very high productivity. And so, we've been, a lot of our investment has been first and foremost in how can we make all these folks way more productive? And we've been doing a tremendous amount of research into the anatomy of building these applications, understanding what are the typical, most common patterns, abstracting them, making them really use, using a lot of AI and machine learning to create almost like artificial bots that can help developers move quicker and create serious applications with big architectures without making mistakes, but very, very quickly. And therefore, when we provide this extreme speed, we make sure at the same time, and this is where a lot of our innovation also comes along is this notion of building these applications right, which is you have to be fast, but not at the expense of lack of security, lack of scalability, lack of availability, non-observability, all these things that you don't really pay attention when you just want to create an app and put some functional requirements, design something into either an app or workflow or whatever. But when you're scaling from 20 users to 1 million users, you need to make sure that you can do that. When you're exposing a portal to the external world, you need to make sure that you're not going to be attacked by hackers or you're going to have a the now service attack or your mobile application is completely shielded and secure and cannot be penetrated. All of these things are things that are all part that cannot be at the expense of speed. And so that's what we try to do. We try to bring together the speed, increasing speed, but at the same time, building fast, building it right and making sure that as you evolve, that your application is evergreen, doesn't create technical debt, so build it for the future. And we focus a lot on these three things. Yeah, I definitely heard that theme loud and clear. Looking forward to actually I've got, so Gigi had a products to walk through some of the announcement. Also got your head of AI in that really fascinating stuff as like emails do, they kind of start making suggestions and feels like the technology is getting better. It's not like it was a few years ago where it was like, I just want to turn that off because the suggestions were slowing me down rather than speeding me up, but moving faster. What I want to get to you, you talked about that flexibility of change. Really one of the big challenges right now is there's always new technologies, there's new opportunity, I need to move fast. So how do I make sure that I can do something today and not be locked out of that next new thing or be able to make a change? So how do you make sure that you've got an architecture we said that's now been around for decades, but meeting the needs of developers, helping to bring on new developers that you make sure that you can stay always modern if you will. No, that's a fantastic question, it's a really good point. I mean, one of the trade-offs of, one of the easy ways of building these type of products or platforms is actually your visual modeling, your abstractions, the things that you build so that you increase productivity. In a lot of scenarios, the easiest pass is towards linking whatever technology you're going to power these applications to the way you build the modeling. And one of the things that out systems as always done, we designed our platform from day one with the perspective that we knew the underlying technology, name it, WebStacks to Kubernetes to on-premise virtual machines to containers, a serverless technologies, micro application servers, all of these things, we knew they were going to dramatically change in the next years and we've been proven right in the sense that not only underneath technology that's used to build these applications that have been changing, but they've been changing faster. And the turmoil of technologies that you can build applications is accelerating at creating a huge problem for enterprises that wants a certain level of stability, but they don't also want to become old. And so the out systems platform allows you to build your applications at the layer where we at out systems, we can replace the underlying technology without you having to rewrite the application. And because of our technology, you can basically just republish or we upgrade our platforms and automatically your applications will run on the next best of breed technology that's now hot and that is providing you extra scalability, extra security, extra high availability. We take care of that and we show you how we do it because we're following those types of standards, but it's really around the architecture of the product. At the same time, at the level of the development of the modeling and all of these things, we make sure that there is a certain level of stability and we keep on improving it so that we can bring developers into our community and those skillsets are constantly relevant as they move from customer to customer, as they move from simpler applications to highly complex ones. All the investment that they've made on out systems gets rewarded in the next two, three, five, seven years. We have a community, we have members of our community that have been with us for more than 15 years and we want to keep it that way. Well, that's impressive. I'm curious, we've had this discussion, gosh, how many years ago was it now that Mark Andreessen said that software is eating the world pillow? So many companies now, you're talking about building software, building that application needs to be a key thing. The role of IT just servicing the business isn't enough, IT needs to be tightly tied with the business and that capability of building software, doing things fast and reacting is so important. So what is this kind of these waves coming together mean for out systems, the growth of the company and I would have to respect that some of your newer customers look a little bit different than the ones that have been with you for 15 years. You know what, it's actually interesting that the problem that we're solving is a very basic, very old problem. And so it's just that what has changed in the recent years is that before it was acceptable for an IT person to go to the business and say this project is going to take three years or this new report or this change that you want to put in your application is going to take a six months or three months to go into production. And today that's an unacceptable answer. And so today with this type of platforms like out systems this provides a tremendous pleasant life for the guys who are actually developing and delivering these digital systems, these applications because the relationship with the business is a much more constructive one.  Now you can go back and say, okay, well, that's going to take me one week and I have Alpha guy ready to build that for you, that first version. And they can work together with you so that we get those requirements right because we know that the mobile application is going to be, the first version we're going to produce is not going to be the one you want. And so we want to iterate. That conversation is the holy grail of what we always wanted in the relationship between IT and the business. And now we have it without systems. And that's the alert. Now, if you look into the tens of industries, this particular type of characteristic is dynamic between business and IT and building these things exist in every industry. And that's why our target addressable market is so huge and that's why we're growing so fast at this point because it's a capability that everyone wants. And before, it just looks magic now before it was considered impossible. And that's why people didn't ask for it. Well, Paolo, talking about that growth and that potential, what's your commentary on the skill gaps out there? How do we onboard more developers? What's the opportunity and the talent that you see out there just really when you talk about the future of jobs in this space? Well, what we've seen is that, for instance, we measure, we have very scientific adult systems about looking at the anatomy of skills and what are the skill sets needed to build what type of systems? And it's not all on nothing thing. A lot of people try to sometimes simplify and say there's this notion of the professional developer and the business developer or even the citizen developer, which is a term we don't really enjoy adult systems that much. But it's this very binary separation. And what we've seen in reality is that there is a continuum, a spectrum of skill sets that we can pile up and we can create and develop tools and capabilities. For instance, in the OutSystems platform that allow us to take an increasingly larger number of backgrounds and people to build an increasingly larger number of more complex applications. And so it's kind of a moving target, but the potential is that the shortage of computer science grads that exist today in the world. And it's not only in the Western world. It's all over Asia, Latin America, places where you'd consider that you'd have enough talent to fulfill the demand. Demand is huge compared with that supply of developers. And so being able to, for instance, tapping on the STEM, the science majors, being able to tap on social grads like architecture, architects, normal civil architects and social engineers and all of that, all of those profiles we have found that we can bring them into the OutSystems community and then have them complement some of their natural skills with some technical skills and being able to actually produce these systems. And so by doing that, we multiply by 10 the pool of available resources to our customers and to the enterprises want to build software, but they're facing this issue of the skills shortage. Oh, Paula, we've got a great lineup for our coverage with theCUBE. I've got a couple of your customers. I mentioned some of the executives. I've got your head of developer and community on there, but want to give you the final word, takeaways you want, the audience out there to have to understand about OutSystems today and the strategy going forward. Well, I think what I wanted to say is we've proven that we've been around for some time. And the reason for this is because it takes a while to build a product that's truly comprehensive and powerful enough that you can build complex, serious applications very quickly, but that are also that do not, that you don't have to be facing a wall of security of scalability and all of that. So this is a platform that takes a long time to get right. It takes a lot of input from our install base, it takes a lot of learnings from all the hundreds of thousands of applications and projects we've seen, but today our customers can take that benefits and move forward very, very quickly. And we're going to stay around for many years to come because it's such a pleasurable job to be able to help all of these enterprises become as innovative as they can and as fast as they can. So I'm really excited about being in this position as we have today. Well, Paulo, really a pleasure for us to be part of this event. Thanks so much and definitely looking forward to talking to the rest of your teams, your customer and the ecosystem. Thank you, Stu. Stay with us for more coverage, I'm Stu Miniman and thanks as always for watching theCUBE.

I think you've got that layer by layer as well. I've got a layer by layer. That's right. That's the shelf talk. Community makes. I think that's it. Yeah. Let's go ahead and jump into the show. A couple more shout outs before we start. Charles Metaforce hanging out five, six zeros, joining in over by In Brazil. We have Marcello. Hello. Good morning. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's very utilitarian, but still fun project, of course, with Lego. So PT had a really good idea. This is really cool app that allows you to take your spare mobile phone. In this case, it's an iPhone and turn it into a webcam because we all know how horrible any built-in webcam on a laptop is or even the little Logitech's getting something that is pretty high quality that has really good autofocus abilities and the colors and all that stuff is going to run you, you know, might as well get like a little digital camera at that point. But if you already have a spare phone or when you're doing broadcasting, you're not going to need your phone as much. Go ahead and use that as one of the broadcasting cameras. So of course, naturally, we're going to have to add the adapters, make them a Lego compatible. So this is what's pulling all the weight here. It's this little two by three studded, or actually no tubes, right? Is that the name of it? The tubes? Sure, it comes tubes. Studs are the things on top. Yeah, these guys. So they click right in there. And here's the secret sauce having the three eighths to quarter twenty adapter. This adapter is used widely in cameras and it allows you to take something like a twenty to twenty adapter and add your camera tripod like so so you can attach your phone onto this and have a really high quality camera. And this is actually what we're using right now. Yay. Look at this. Little mini. Look at the focusing. You don't have to go into the camera settings mess around and be like, oh no, it stopped working. So we're using the camo app. We'll take a look at that. But right now we just want to highlight the hardware and the 3D printed bit. Exactly. So tell me about the 3D printed bit. What makes it different than this one? Which one? Our previous ones. We've done the previous project where we, it's a webcam cover, right? It covers your webcam that's built into the display like a laptop or Mac in this case. So you thought it would be good to kind of make it so you're not blocking the sensors. There's a bunch of sensors now on all these new laptops and we wanted to refigure it so that the shape doesn't obstruct the sensors on a laptop or desktop. That is. So that's the different shape here. So you notice these two are different shapes and you kind of want to make it a different shape and profile to kind of fit your bezel. So yeah, tell me more about the design. That is the problem that we're solving here with having a little cut out that is over the notch and not just the MacBooks have the notch, we had to get a PC recently to make sure that some of the projects that we're working on actually work without us having to jump through hoops and you know, in solo Xcode and all that crazy stuff just works natively on Windows and they have the exact same problem with the notch going on that would be covered by our older design and one of the other things too that we did was, you know, slimmed it down, optimized it to make sure that while it had been nice and sturdy isn't you're going to fall apart on you when you put all the weight of a camera and a tripod and all that stuff on there. So yeah, it's the little cutaway and the new part that we've made, which I thought we had released with past projects, but apparently we did not. This is the new edition.  So of course, all these are in the shop. She can build any of these yourself. So we have the threaded, right, the threaded geometry goes right into the brick that allows you to easily put that in here and these have these nice little flat headed screws using just the back of a tweezer here. How is it to go in there? Really nice. And then the other bits are, of course, going to be the twenty to twenty bits here. And we've used these quite a lot of projects to connect two different parts together. Two different female ones. We also have the swelva ball head as well. So this guy right here, not the actual phone holder. So we should actually probably start looking for really good ones to stock. And this is the one we have in the shop. Nice and sturdy. Should be able to hold the weight even of, you know, one of the larger, like, max. It wouldn't go over a pound for something like this little head. Yeah. One of the things I like to is you're able to adjust the angle, but also the little thread here. So if you mount this and it's in the way of your Lego, you know, you can move it to somewhere else while still having the adjustability of having this little angler here. So let's see what else I can talk about. This guy here, pretty much it. Yeah. Just simple project to PLA prints. Yeah. We'll talk about some slice settings and support material and how to customize it. Yeah. And I guess one of the other heroes, too, is the app that allows you to give us such a high quality stream for all this. Yeah. I guess you want to talk about the app. Do you want to go to LearnGuide? Let's go jump into the LearnGuide. All right. Thank you for telling me what to do. All right. So if you head on over to learn.edu.com, see all the latest guides that were added this week, and you'll be able to find the Lego phone holder guide. So the overview page just walks you through the project, what it is, what you'd want one, and here's a look at some of the hardware. All of the stuff is in stock here. So the camera tripod three eighths to quarter 20 screw adapter. Those are great. The quarter 20 to quarter 20 screw adapter and the swivel and the swivel head pan tilt shoe mount adapter is also available in all in stock. So, you know, it's great to use metal parts, folks, where you can, especially with something like a camera has like a little bit of weight to it. We really recommend getting when you're going to take it on and off over and over and over again, I'm a fan of heat set inserts. But in this case, this is a great way to kind of do it. And you can 3D print three eighths threads very nicely with just kind of your regular point to layer height. And the reason why this isn't a quarter 20 thread is because over time it's going to wear out and you're more likely to keep this inside. You're more likely to keep this threaded insert inside. And what you're constantly taking off is the camera or the holder itself. So that's why we really recommend getting a metal hardware for things that are going to be used and taken out multiple times. So that exact question was just asked in the chat room from 5.6.0. They're asking if it was a threaded insert. No, it is all modeled in there. You can adjust the threading if you have some tolerance settings for your printer. So this is just an iPhone mini. So unfortunately, we don't have like the macro lens on there. A lot better than the webcam. And you can see there, hands pretty well. There are support materials that I had to turn on just for the roof here. But other than that, it prints out really good. One of the other things that we'll mention, just because we're already talking about it, we'll see it in the printing guide. The only thing that I had to do for settings wise was print at 150 microns or 0.5 for the resolution, just so we can have that like silky 0.15. Yeah, 0.15. So yeah, so it's nice and silky when you attach the studs together. Yeah, and it's like very, very secure in there. Like so secure, I'm always going to pop off one of the studs. But you kind of want it to be nice and secure when you have a phone on your laptop. Or just a. Yeah, yeah, we're both cool. Yeah, TV or whatever. Whatever monitor or whatever. Cool. All right, cool. So yeah, model threads is. Is is a good tip here. OK, heading over to the slicing. Parts. So you have some so you have the Fusion 360 files. You can, of course, edit the thickness. If you have a laptop that has a thicker bezel or display, you want to add this onto your monitor or a shelf or anything like that. You can go ahead and grab those files for that. But we have STL files for the MacBook and the Dell PC that I got. The sizes are there listed. The MacBook is about five millimeters thick. Then the PC that we have is seven point three millimeters thick. And that is accounting for the little gaskets that they have on the lids of the monitor. Down here, usual PLA settings. Of course, everybody's probably going to say that printed in nylon. Not a bad idea to have some of that's a little bit more. Pet G is good to Pet G. Yes, Pet G. And yeah, just a point one five for the layer height. 150 microns. The infills and have to be so so dense since it is just like a couple of roofs for the the solid part of the plate. And then you are going to need supports just because of the way that it overhangs. It's so much in a jump. That's what that looks like there, all underneath here. Yeah, it's it's not it's since it's the surface. It's going to touch your bezel. You're not going to see it. So yeah, yeah, it's not the best. And if you want to avoid supports, you could always cut it in half. I mean, you're going to. Yeah, I guess you could if you cut it right here. If you thicken up the base. Sure. Yeah. Here that that is possible. But yeah, all all it's kind of just tips. If you want to do it a little bit different, it's fine with supports. Yeah, supports are fine. I'm just saying. Yeah, my brain's like, hey, if you cut that in half, I'm not in support. The usual support settings that I like for this is the extrusion with for the support is actually smaller than what the actual the width is for the actual part that we're printing. So in this case, it's a point two. So you make it nice and thin so it's easy to remove. And then the Z height have that spaced out a little bit, depending on how good your tolerance is for your printer is. And then for this one, you definitely want to have the interface and the roof supports enabled. That'll just give it a nicer finish for the top. The bed build plate adhesion type, you want to make sure that it is brim because of these two little little feet here. Yeah, go ahead and jump over. Yeah. So I tried printing it with just a skirt and these would always get knocked off, even if I had the Z hop enabled. They would always get just thrown off bed. So you want to make sure that the brim is big enough so it's unifying with the brim from the back plate here and then all of support so that it has a nice adhesion. So even if it does get knocked over, it looks like it did happen a couple of times right here. It's not going to fly off the bed. Yeah, aesthetically, this looks great. They look like feet for furniture. But if you didn't worry about that, you just want to extend this whole thing out. Yeah, you could. This is the sensors right here. There's nothing over here. So on the PC, there are there are sensors on this side and two on this side. So that's why I didn't do that. I'm glad I asked because that every design decision is dictated by my constraints and reason. So that's why you did it that way. Yeah, I'm going to get it. Yep. And then to have a nice a bit of supports on it, you have this giant fillet on the sides here and then on the back part here. So you have a very nice, sturdy, geometric, you know, connection where everything's all attached together. Fillet there. The arc here makes it look like furniture. But yeah, all things to consider when you're designing a thing. So that's that's one thing. Yep. Two things. What else? Let's see. Since this is a pretty quick project trying to abstract as much info as we can out of it. We're good there. We can look at the other learn guide. I guess. Oh, yeah, yeah, yes. So people, your last word, we get the minifig. They're going to learn guide. You'll see all our projects. What I'm here is the webcam cover. So we showed it off a little bit, but this was to cover your webcam. This one doesn't cover your webcam. Like it's sort of the point of it. So it is a little Lego minifig that you can 3D print. My gosh, look at him there. That's all the parts. I know it's so adorable and seeing how tiny those little parts are. Go there. We won't reiterate all the steps you got to do. It's a definitely want to print out 100 microns for this one. There's there's a nice maybe a half an hour tutorial on how to make it parametric so you can build your Lego studs and build your design so that it's scalable. Whether you want more studs or just a bigger base plate. This is a good story to check out for just their basics of parametric Lego parts. And it definitely applies to the model for this one as well. If you go into the sketches in the side, the Fusion 360 file, if you adjust the the gap opening here, the entire model will update with it. The only thing I didn't do was create the patterns that will create the the additional studs. It's a hard-coded quantity when you're doing rectangular patterns. Yeah, change it up. Yeah, super easy sense. The spacing is pretty dead on. It's a eight millimeters. It's an eight by eight millimeter square. So whatever that square is, you just draw another eight by eight on there. And yeah, the spacing is eight millimeters. The diameter of the studs is four point nine millimeters. The height of the stuff is one point nine millimeters. I know all this because I know there's so much. It's always a Lego project multiple times a year.  I do, yeah. The chart is like breaks down. That's not a bad idea, actually. So, yeah, I think that's pretty much it.  Of course, the whole main hero here. I forgot to say, if you wanted to whiten the base, like, yeah, I could print it. I'm like, hey, Pedro, just add this on top. Oh, yeah, that's right. You can't. Lego's ABS is stronger and like there's a bajillion sizes of the Lego, so the fact that you can just put a bigger base on top is pretty rad. I mean, that's the whole damn point, right? Yeah, and of course, you can, after you get all that done, it's going to be, you know, what creatively can you... Yeah, you're actually using this on your actual laptop. Yeah, yeah. So when I got the new MacBook with the notch on it, I couldn't use any of these. So really cool that Phil wanted one that didn't obstruct any of the sensors on there. So and then that obviously gave me a chance to go and release this model. The actual bit there. And yeah, it's going to be up to you on creatively adding these since, you know, when you're at work, typing away, it's always cool to be able to glance up and look at whatever cool little mini-fig design you've got on top of your computer. Huge fan of designing Lego parts and adapting it with existing Lego parts. Yeah, yeah. It's going to stay in your changeable laptop on top of a laptop. That's that's very nice. The old 1990s laptop. Mm-hmm. It's thick, chunky. Should make a little 3D printed cover to go over and then put the nano figurine on top. That's to, that's to, was it intersection, interception? Interception, inception. Inception. Inception of your interception. All right. We've got some cool gifts here on on the Discord. Shout out to Yanni always coming through with these great gifts. We do. We have a little R2-D2 in the CTO and we have a little horse when you get to the port. But yeah, Lego time, Lego in the evening. When you have a 3D printer, you can 3D print a Lego in a time. Sorry. Let me go into the chat room, put all the links to these. Well, we, I guess, queue up the, what are we prototyping? Yeah, there's a twofer. So you get two different prototypes. We're on a theme here with miniature cuteness. So to go with our kind of couch. We can have a watch and TV. So this is our one of our new Adafruit displays. It's the one point four seven one point four seven TFT. It's an IPS display. It's really nice. Let me plug it in. I need a cable. Actually, no, let me just plug the battery in. So this is all all press fit for the face.  I actually didn't design this one for that screen. But that is how these little feet on there. Yeah, so it's a little bit weird and scaling of it. So we wanted to make a nice enclosure that really matched the aspect ratio and just the thing. Yeah, I didn't add the slide switch in there yet because I want to. So it's running off of a feather RP2040 a couple of weeks ago. We were using a circuit python. Yeah, I know. So the cable we're going to use circuit python to do some sprite sheet animations is one of our favorite things to do. Lamar did an update to the to an animated GIF library in Arduino. So we're able to use both Arduino and circuit python to do this project. Circuit python using its USB flash drive mass storage capabilities to store the gifts and then Arduino to do the speediness of, you know, C code and it can play the frame rate, not too bad on a gift. So these are regular gifts. They haven't been converted to H files or sprite sheets. They're just standard gifts that tend to play really well here. So I want to go ahead and highlight that point that you just said. Don't have to make a sprite sheet. So before when we wanted to make a little animated display, we had to break down each frame into a very long. So it's having a strip. Yeah, just cool. It's a really cool way to do it in circuit python, especially if you're doing like games and stuff. But for this one, we just wanted to be able to toss it. The ability of the ease of just throwing in a regular gift and then quickly displaying it on there. It's a really neat way and it's fast. Like it's really, really fast. So shout out to Lamar and the folks that were worked on the animated gift library. Yeah. Yeah. So the inspiration came from was a tweet where they were playing, like I think it was a combination of that Simpsons, Raspberry Pi, powered little TV, Simpsons, Raspberry Pi. Yeah, like played all the episode for that. And then a small switch ornament. That's where this little guy comes in. So both of these screens, brand new sizes and the roundness of them. We wanted to. This one does not. Oh, you're right. Right. So it's just this one. But they're both brand new screens that were just put in not too long ago, but wanted to highlight their APS displays. Yeah, really good viewing angles. They look better. They'll look better when I remove the protective coatings, but because I'm still prototyping, I don't want to remove those and scratch them just yet. We're waiting for the Queen of England to come so we can. I'm waiting for the the film, the video to start being recorded so I can remove those because I'll get it on video shots. And Mars, can you shoot because you have the protectors? You were like, whoops, man, because you're so used to it. Yeah. So yeah. And then OK, so we went off track there. So the rails, the little tiny pendant ornament was the other design inspiration. Not horrible, more for your Lego with the dioramas. Yes. So this is the 4.7 screen size. 4.9. There you go. 4.9. Side screen. Kind of widescreen. So it works good for this game. Here's a JP. Why did JP get it in there? JP just thought it was a blitz. That's what he was saying. We need to update that with Lars doing that sort of the Badgers. A Lars gift. And this is something we found. So again, pointing out how fast that Arduino was able to spit these GIFs out and see how good the frame rate is on this, especially with this little depth scene here in Breath of the Wild. You can really see how good it is. It's just 320 by 170. It looks fantastic because the IPS display just makes it look great. Yeah. The only thing that stinks about having the different sizes, because this one is a 320 by 172, is that you do have to manually scale the canvas size to work on this. And then one of the other bugs that we found, which is why we got the PC, is that when it tries to read an invisible file, that Macs just love to create. You open a file, there's a ton of files that it creates in there. Invisibility. Yeah, there is. Terminal tricks you can do. Or not there yet. Windows. Just drag and drop. Windows just works. You can grab any of the GIFs. So what are these next week? This is next week. Next week? Yeah, almost done. Both running off of the RP2040 Feather, which is available. It's kind of an available chip right now. That is what she wanted to highlight. Originally, these were going to be all for the M4s, but kind of hard to get the Samdies. So shout out to Resipi. Yeah. The RP20 is great. Great. Good. We're using Phil Hauer's Arduino core for the RP2040. Yeah, so check out the learn guides. Yep. We'll take a look at all of them. We're setting up your Feather Arduino for the RP2040. This is what the other one's going to look like when I'm done filming all the stuff. You've got the slide switch in there. That lets you recharge the battery and turn off the circuit. Then the mounting plate on here for attaching the Feather to the screen. It's going to have a nice little circuit sandwich to have everything nice and compact. It's also important to note that all the Feathers, all eight or three Feathers, have built-in LiPo charging over USB, so you can always recharge that battery over USB. So you can kind of see here it is recharging. It is yellow LED. Then everything is snap fit. And then I think we mentioned this last week the faces are interchangeable. So, you know, if Nintendo switches in your thing, you can put on a little steam deck. So, what do you tell there? Pink Feathers are in stock. All supplies last. Lovely, lovely board. Lots of GPIOs. Lots of features. Width stands. Dropping. Has a built-in Neopixel. And that lovely semiconductor there. Our favorite Feather right now. Because it's the only one you can get. Plus it's just that great anyway. You can swap between Serger Python and Arduino. Or you can use both of them at the same time. Like we have been. One can use this flashed origin. The playback. The playback. Yeah, so... It's sort of a ying and yang. That you're going to have both those on there. So cool. A little bit of a juggling. Ying and yang. You have to flash. Every time you want to get back into the hard drive. The pilot takes like a minute. But come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we're going to glance in over at the... Yeah, any comments on the gift stuff? Can you use the threaded insert in wood too? Yeah, you could. Could you? Yeah. I have a screw tap.   I have done that. Works really well. Yeah. So much easier to use wood. Comment from 560 saying that it loves the console-style TV idea for that screen. Yeah, it's fun. I forgot to show off the little... Our VCR. The little VCR. I got to print out the antenna next for that, but yeah. Here's your little TV. So cute. Room TV. Yeah, great for your diorama or whatever you're doing. Yeah. Your Lego build or something to be fun. New dollhouse build. Yeah, Lego build. Yeah. Cool for that. So yeah, we'll go over these next week. Yay, yep. Next week. Next week. Next week. Alright. Cooler. Ah, yeah. John and Doom. Yeah, not cool. I should put up the original GIF in there. Uh-huh. Well, yeah. Do my thing or do you want to post tweets? What do you want to do? Alright, let me post links to all this stuff here. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got another putter type. This one is super cool. Yeah, so we got ourselves some mirrored film. And it's some see-through mirrors. So we thought, you know, a lot of Raspberry Pi smart mirrors are really fun and cool to build. But we made like a really, really small one for your desktop. So this one's using the Adafruit Pi portal. That's the IoT display. I'll just look here for now. Direct my attention here. So yeah, it's a 3D printed case with a piece of acrylic that I cut. And then I applied this film. So this film is special. It's a mirrored film. But you're able to see through it when you have light shine through. So that's how you're able to get this kind of effect. So the idea is to do sort of an update to the weather station code so that it's portrait mode. Because normally the Pi portal is a landscape. So we're doing this portrait mode. And right now it's pulling the Adafruit quotes using the Adafruit IO API. And yeah, that's the kind of thing right now. We have some port openings here for micro USB and SD card slot. And we also have the ambient light sensor here. So you'll be able to kind of wave your hand and turn it on and off. But yeah, kind of a neat thing. It'll be powered by a USB cable because it's supposed to be on your desk. And then we have this kind of funky arm. And it's supposed to resemble like a mirror that you would use. So yeah, kind of a neat, simple, but neat effect. Like I've seen the smart mirrors and that's cool. They're normally big. So we've been seeing smaller ones on some of the websites. So I got inspired to do that too. I should have to BT for bringing that to my attention. But you can swipe. You can articulate it. It almost looks like an R2D2. The arms of the R2D2. Yeah, no need for slides for true things. Oh yeah, we got a reset button here. There's a reset button. That's what it looks like. It's just a regular mirror. But it's fun to see a terminal come up there and say, what is going on with this mirror? And interestingly enough, the Pi portals are in stock. I just put the link in there. M4 with the ESP32 kind of co-processor. And there's a camera looking at you. There's a nice quote from Isaac Newton. So yeah, smart mini mirror. A lot of mini stuff going on. Maybe I should have used the Pi portal pint. Which is the smaller. But I think there's more of the Pi portal classes in stock. Better shoes. Tintana. Cool. So that is, we'll be, I think, in some time in June. Because we're at the NMA. So probably the second we could June. So we'll look out for that one. Oh my god. That's an expert time. So do a quick shop talk. If you want to tweak that. We're about to promote some level areas. Yeah, so recently I created some new 3D models. So let's go ahead and go to the Adafruit CAD parts. GitHub repository. I can add a link. Someday, somewhere, somehow. Oh, I can add that. Yeah. Safari is just really checking me out right now. It's like, where's the stuff? Oh boy. I can't. Safari's like never been there before. So I don't know how to get to it. I think it's Adafruit under Safari CAD. There it is. Parts. Thank you Safari for remembering. So if we go to commit. So you can see the latest parts that were added. We have a lot of parts. I won't name all of them. But feel free to make part requests using our issues tab.  So I've reached out to all the people that submitted those. And I just post the link to the part. So if you are looking for part, shout out. Yeah, you're the parts. So with that, I came up with a layer by layer that shows you how to generate headers for various PCBs. So in this case, it's a 2 by 20 GPIO header. But the interesting thing is that this header is a surface mount header. So a profile header. You've probably seen these in some of Adafruit's Raspberry Pi bonnets.  So this one, in this tutorial, I just kind of walk through some of the things to look out for when you're generating these style of headers. But also as a way to say, hey, there's a lot of new templates for generating. And I've been starting to use those more and more. And I thought this one was a really kind of universal one. It's always good to model your headers to ensure that your enclosures and everything has good tolerances and good spacing and clearances. So check that one out. There's a nice 10-minute refresher on how to use the package generator, Fusion 360. And don't forget the CAD parts. There's lots of CAD parts in there. And I'll be adding more as the time progresses. Cool. Where's Discord? Let's see. Quick question. I owe 20, oh, about this little VCR. Yeah. I'm not printing the part. It's just a little filament that goes inside there is what these little holes are sized for. Yes. You just use 175 filament to go in there and then just bend how the antenna wires are usually bent. So that's how that works there. Cool. And then Andy Calaway was suggesting using a couple of pins. That's a good idea too. That's a good idea. The header pins. Yeah. Or an LED upside down. Just stick it in there. Boop. An LED just stick it in there. That would work. Let's see it post the link to the layer by layer, the whole playlist there, and then the screen links for that by portal and the 147 and the, oh my god, why do I keep forgetting the other bigger one before? 9. 4.9. 4.9. Excellent. All right. Are you folks ready for community mix? Let's see. Rufus is asking 3D enclosure for John's private pick of the week. That was the iPod scroller. Yeah. That's a great point. Didn't Liz make one? She did. So if you want an enclosure to house, and there's a model for it. Wait, I haven't released it yet because I still got to make the thing. I'm working on it. I had an issue, a part request, and I will. There already is one. I'm getting on it. Give me a second. Give me a day or two. No, that's a good point. Is this it right here? The BLE scroller? Right, yeah. Check out the one I was made. I'm posting the link right here. Yeah. Yeah. So here's the nice enclosure. It turns it into a BLE controller, a JD controller, so you can use it to control music, play games. It's very, very cool. And it uses the feather, an RF52840. Yeah. I think the model has it in there too. So you can pull it out of there. Give me a moment because it's very particular with the pin sizes. I have to model the top bit. I have the PCP generator because Fusion generates it for you out of Eagle. But then actually creating the bit there is something I haven't done yet. There is a technical sheet for it, and we have a learn guide and all that. So you can check that out if you want to do the heavy lifting of modeling out the piece here. But yeah, they have a pretty decent data sheet. Let's take a look at it. If you just want to print out the one that Liz has, though, there's the link there. You can quickly just print that one out. Yeah, you can just print that out if you just want a feather in the scroll wheel. This is what I'm going to have to do. It looks, what do you call it, intimidating. Because there's a lot of data and a lot of very specific pin placements. Maybe somebody's already done a cat. I'll do some little bit of research and see if anyone's catted this one up yet. But if not, I'll go ahead and make it a couple hours, maybe an hour. But yeah, check it out. What are we on? Community makes? Let's jump over to community makes. Cool. All right, community makes. This week, 3D printing something from the community. This week. Retro inspired RGB, VGA cables. These cables, I remember them being kind of the standard display monitor cable. For a while. For a while throughout all of the 90s. So it's just a bit of a viral thing that happened on social media. Some folks saw that this was an actual injection molded add-on for USB-C cables. They weren't being sold or something happened. So the community put it on themselves to model it and multiple folks have modeled them. So Peter, you printed a few of them and you came up with this model particularly that you really like. So you picked this one as the 3D Tuesdays time lapse. Yeah, so this is a two part design. Nice little shell that should be able to house any of your USB-C cable. So take a look at the inside here. It's just a little cut out so you can insert that in there.  I did see other models where this little bit here does actually turn and you can add a screw on there. It'll come out the side there. Unfortunately the geometry, we'll take a look at what a lot of them look like is not the best. Your mileage may vary. Yeah, but this one turned out worked with a bunch of the cables that we already have. I like that it just press fits. Like I didn't have to glue anything together. Yeah, it's cool. I like when it's a snug press fit. Yeah, so kind of neat. If you're nostalgic for it, I don't really care for VGA. I don't think people do. They just think it's funny. So yeah, one of the things that they did like about this is how it does have that. That's very tactical. Well that too, but the one that has the working thumb screws, you can actually make it attached to something. So that was what they really liked about it having a really secure cable that's being secured with screws. But if you just want to have it for looks. A CRT monitor with the VGA cable. And this does work with a variety of the cables that we have here like in the shop and stuff. This one is just a USB to micro. USB-C to micro-V. USB-C to micro-V. Yeah, I gotta be very specific on these. Sure do. So many. So let's take a look at the design. This one was by Jesse Banks on Thingiverse. He was user B5. Print. B5? Yep. But yeah, Jesse is their name. And there's some photos of the make of the model printed out in that very bright blue color. This right here showcases I guess some of the other models had some geometry issues. Maybe some flip normals or whatever. Yeah. That can translate into bad G code tool paths. So that's why I think Jesse kind of remodeled it. But yeah, it's a nice no supports print. Two halves. Marriage. Not even marriage. Just print this twice, right? A little bit deceiving there what you see in the time lapse there because it doesn't look as interesting when you print something flat. So I'm printing it vertically in the time lapse. Oh, I didn't notice. Yeah, so no the actual orientation is flat on the bed like that. Sorry. I sometimes have to do that just because it doesn't look interesting at all when you do the time lapse. Like a lot of the things that were sent as suggestions doesn't work because of, you know, it doesn't look interesting at all. You heard it here folks. Camera magic is a real thing. You gotta make it look pretty. Movie magic. Yeah. Well anyway, that's how you print that flat like that. Yep. Quick. The original design had dimensions that did not fit my use piece of cable. That was the thing I ran into. It had tiny attachments to the rest of the model that would break easily. Yeah. The model was a mess on the inside with the weird features causing the print artifacts on the first layer. Yeah. There you go. So you wanna check it out. There's some other versions of it. It's been remixed from this one. So we might as well bring up the original one by Verde Fabbro. Dead giveaway that it might not have worked there since there's no pictures of the actual print. Hmm. I see. All right. So if you wanna 3D print one of these VGA, two dads. Nostalgia. There's a little funny comment over on the, where am I, the Twitch McGruffin saying this reminds me of when Arduino still needed RS232 cables to program. It's a nice little retro callback to the old days. Yep. It's a Pica like mini TFT TV and the Gruffin loves the mirror project. Yeah. Super cool. And then Liz is saying that, yep, you sent over the fusion model of it. So it's almost done. I know. It's halfway there. Almost done. Yeah. Which was able to use the PCB. The mounting holes is the most important part. Yeah. Yeah. I just need to make the, you don't have to make the thing, but I really want to make the top squarely bit. Yeah. Even if it's just like a basic model.  The height and the clearances. The clearances. Depending on what you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Hello to Make Tech from Australia. Hello. Welcome to the show. All right. So that's this week's community make. The time lapse anyway. We have two makes that were sent to us. So let's run through this really quick. We're doing good on time. So feel free to add stuff and comments folks while you got us here. But we'll see you tonight again. All right. So this one is a make of the Raspberry Pi enclosure for the use with a HQ Pi camera. Rozo posted this up with their make says decided to print this out, but wanted to make a fan version of the back cover. So I could hold my 25 millimeter Raspberry Pi fan and connect the GPIO header pins. Very cool. And it's got a good kind of rig here. Raspberry Pi camera project. Yeah. Back there. It's nice. Yeah. It's a good kind of case to kind of build on top of two if you want to remix and add on pieces to it. Most of it snap fits, but it also has a lot of hardware nylon hardware and standoffs for securing to the various pieces. But cool. Yeah. Looks good. And thank you Rozo for posting it up. All right. Next up. Last one here this week. I remember those LED signs over here. No might not posted up their make and rated it says cool print and they printed out the lightning bolt. Yeah. So check it out. Yeah. That's my favorite one too. Kind of. I got one with the lightning bolts. Kind of the first one I made. Looks good with the animation on it. Yeah. That's the one behind us right there. I kind of want to trim that excess there because I didn't use the full length because it's just the shape of it. But yeah. I kind of want to reshape a little bit. Cool. And that is this week's community makes. Thank you everybody for posting your mix. John over the note. I think that's it for the show. Yeah. How about it? Cool. Well thank you everybody for joining us. We hope we invite you to come on show and tell tonight. I think it's going to be hosted by Lamar and Phil or perhaps me and Pedro or maybe even JP and Liz. We don't know. It's a surprise. It's a surprise. We don't even know. Sometimes we were like five minutes before we're going to go all right we're going to host and then it turns out well we're not hosting but hey we love hosting and it's fun to do so. We invite you to come and share your stuff with us. We'd love to kind of see what you're working on. Retro gear is fun. Work spaces. It's been once we had a nice tour of a workspace or something. But all is fair and we hope to see you all there. Right after that's going to be Ask an Engineer at 8 p.m. That's right. Full hour Lamar Phil looking at all the cool new products coming out behind the scenes and what's going on in business. 10% discount with a special code. Don't forget available on Ask an Engineer. Yeah. And then tomorrow. Manana. Do you have off? Do you have off? Do you have off? Check out with JP every Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. And then on Fridays we've got a deep dive with the Tim. Foamy guy. Scott might return at some point but right now we've got Tim every Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific or 5 p.m. Eastern time. Let's take a look at the rest of the shows. On Sundays. Evenings. You can tune in to from the desk of Lady Aida where she's got some top secret stuff which she's working on. And the great search with DigiKey. Great segment. On Mondays we have the Circuit Python chat with the community and the Circuit Python devs. It happens every Monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time with the exception of U.S. And next week is a holiday on the Mondays. I think it'll happen on the following day. On Tuesday. So just a programming note. Next week it'll be on Tuesday. Good thing I remembered. All right. And then on Tuesdays is JP's product pick of the week. This week was the Anno scroll wheel. Which is like a $5 thing.  You're kidding. Yeah it was like that. So it was 2 bucks? Oh okay. It was 5 bucks width. It was only $9. Okay. So it was like $5. No I thought it was 5 bucks originally. Yeah it would be like 250. Yeah it would be like 250. Too fitty.  That's why he has crazy thumbnails. That was the same. The only other place you can get a discount. So definitely tune in live. Yeah tune in live. And sometimes you can sell out within the first minute. So get on it. Every Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time or 1 p.m. Pacific. And then on Wednesdays we've got the three hangouts. Asking engineer. And show and tell. Alright cool. Real quick question by MakeTech. Asking if we've checked out Slicer inside of Fusion 360. I have not. I have not either. I know they do have a Slicer. Yeah they have some neat things. So that's a good thing. I should check it out. Yeah it'll be on the list of things to check out. I gotta check out Cura. And I gotta check out Fusion. 5.0. Cura is pretty speedy. There is a, if anybody uses like Wacom tablets. I think it should be fine with like third party. There's nobody except you. I don't know. It's like oh man. Who uses the Waco? Are you a graphics designer? I don't know. It's like what are you with? It's like people who do 3D sculpting. You're like oh man I used it to like check my emails and do like basic things. No I used it in CAD. I know. It's like all sculptors. You also use it for just everything. It's just ergonomically it works for you. Yeah it's just my carpal tunnel. Your carpal tunnel. And then the questionnaire. Probably just direct that to the chat room. Unless you guys can answer this. Suggestions for cheap, simple LED audio inductor. To go between the guitar pedal. That is a good question for Ask Engineer. Quarter mono cable. This is Ask a Designer. Right now we're asking for a designer. But yeah see that question for Ask Engineer. I think Lamar would have fun with that one. Cool. I think that's it. Alright well thank you everybody so much for joining us. We hope you're inspired and you are doing the thing you want to do. Alright. With that, good luck with all your maker endeavors. Yes.  Until next time. Make a great day. Bye everybody.


Religion and World Politics 7. At the very very first lecture we had a disquisition about what it meant to imagine God as a first principle. We used the famous text from the beginning of the Gospel according to St. John.  In other words there was a combination of God and his enunciation. God's own articulation and God's own text so that God is a divine creature and the Bible as a divine articulation together composed a first principle. In the heyday of Islamic thought, of Islamic philosophy, of disquisitions about the meaning of Islam and its place in the world of knowledge, in that 13th century the thought of great Islamic thinkers also was that God and his text constituted a first principle. All else was contingent upon this first principle. Second, third principles, etc. were contingent so that in the development of traditions of Islamic learning, the development of Islamic texts, the development of Islamic law, what should properly be regarded as the hadith, the recorded and reported sayings of Muhammad which were not divine in the sense that they were not given by revelation. They were reports of the life and of the speech of the Prophet. These constitute a second principle. They refer directly to the first principle text, the Quran, but are not themselves first principle. Sharia law, the constitutionalization of the teachings of both God and Muhammad constitute again a further contingency so they can be described as a third principle. And a fourth principle are the debates, the teachings, the expositions and the interpretations of wise men. They're propounding and expounding of hidden meanings of applied meanings from the Sharia, the hadith and from the Quran itself and doing so by methodologies that demonstrated proper learning, proper regard to authority and precedent. All of these things constitute today's received volumes of Islamic learning. And they are contested learnings. The split between Sunni and Shia, for instance, happened at a very, very early stage of Islamic development. It concerned very, very much, of course, who was going to be regarded as the proper successor to Muhammad. It also involved all kinds of doctrinal issues such as the second coming, whether or not a hidden iman existed or whether he was yet to come. These doctrinal differences multiplied as years went by. And it's almost as if a reaction to this could be found in the Sufi expression of Islamic thought. That is the search for a charismatic means of personal connection to God, a transcendentalism which in fact transcended all the schools of thought and made it a personalized spiritual relationship with the first principle. Now, this can easily be regarded as heretical. It means bypassing a very great deal. It means even bypassing the first principle of God as contained in his text in the Quran because one establishes a relationship which is even more powerful than the word of God. One establishes a relationship with God himself. And yet the experience of Sufism is not unlike the condition of Muhammad himself when he received the scriptures over a period of time, over a number of different episodes, certainly in the first instances of his receiving divine revelation. The torture, the suffering, the immense difficulty that Muhammad experienced in receiving the word of God spoke to a divine relationship. It spoke to a connection to heaven which later scholars were actually at pains to minimize great philosophies like Ibn al-Qadun tried to materialize the experience of Muhammad. And this gave rise to a whole range of different interpretations even within the Sunni persuasion as to how spiritual, how material, and if material, how legally bound could be the interpretations of one's relationship as a person or as a people with God. Several schools of thought developed over the years within the Sunni persuasion, some more spiritual, some far more material.  All of this was itself regarded as nearing apostasy and heresy, removing the spiritual almost entirely from the concept of God. But the idea of the material and the idea of the literal, the association of literalness with materialness, the cohabitation of literality, the things that could be observed almost in a positivist fashion. Let us say a positivist interpretation of God and what he required of humanity, found its way by descent through one of these schools into what we now know as Wahhabism. The Wahhabism of today, which is causing such consternation in international relations, is not necessarily the same Wahhabism of Wahhab when he rode out of the desert with the forebears of the House of Saud. The world as we know it today didn't exist then. Even Saudi Arabia, as we know today, did not exist then. The concept of Saudi Arabia as a very, very rich country did not exist then. Oil had not yet been discovered then. It was a desert country. The contestation was among desert societies. So that the application of literalness to a wider, more complex society, to a wider, more complex world, the humanizing and the materialization of God's relationship with humanity, becomes one of these things that is taken from a desert context with the bloody fighting that took place in the construction of Saudi Arabia. The condemnation of people for apostasy and their execution so that there could be political victory, all of that is part of a Saudi history which is transferred into a modern international relations. Wahhabism and its manifestation in groups like ISIS, for instance, caught Western intelligence, Western intellectual thought, Western reaction in general, by surprise. As late as March 2015, there was one article in the Western press that tried to treat ISIS and as Wahhabi background seriously. Since then, in the months and years, since then, one year and a few months since then, there have been a welter of articles, books, most of them bad and only very, very recently has there been a genuine attempt to try to interrogate the doctrine of Wahhabi as applied to modern days by ISIS in a serious fashion and to see it as something which is complex, something which is thoughtful, even if we might regard it as atrociously thoughtful. Hugh Kennedy, a professor at SOAS, has written a very fine book on the construction of thought behind the annunciations of today's ISIS thinkers and of their very, very concerted and to a large extent successful effort to capture a theological high ground by the interpretation of text, early text to try to say that they are representing the original forebears of today, those original forebears of Islam that were close to the time of the Prophet. And the more arcane the authority, the more arcane the interpretation, and the more direct the application in the material and literal sense to today's conditions, the more persuasive these people seem to be. But what you have in the interpretation of the great authorities of Islam is the interpretation of what I've described as a fourth principle, trying to interpret a third principle based on Sharia, trying to base an interpretation on what I've called the second principle that is the hadith, finally getting back to an interpretation of a first principle doctrine, a doctrine analogous to God himself, that is the articulation of his word in the Quran, one notices that in the annunciations and in the intellectual attempt to cloak ISIS with intellectual integrity and respectability, there is an absence of reference to the Quran itself, but very, very much an interrogation and a representation of themselves as the heirs of the learned fathers, the fourth principle of the teachings of Islam.
