Reviewing The Inateck HB4009 USB 3.0 3-Port Hub & Magic Port: Is It Really Magic?
Review by Marte Brengle published on 08/12/2015
Years ago there was a program called LapLink, that used a proprietary cable to transfer and sync data between computers. As the name implies, it was originally intended to sync files between desktop and laptop computers, but it actually worked on any PC and was very useful for making backups as well. The software was deservedly popular and very good at what it did (The LapLink company is still active, but their focus is a bit different these days). The Inateck HB4009 USB 3.0 3-Port Hub & Magic Port is designed to do what those LapLink cables did, once upon a time, and it has a lot of extra features that make it look very appealing. Does it live up to its promises? Our review will find out.
Unboxing The Inateck HB4009 USB 3.0 3-Port Hub & Magic Port
The Inateck HB4009 USB 3.0 3-Port Hub & Magic Port arrives in a plain brown cardboard box with a drawing of the device and a limited description on a white label.
Inside the box you'll find the hub itself, with its attached cable, a second USB cable, and a MicroUSB OTG adapter, along with a brief instruction manual. The manual that came with the unit we received for testing was written in both English and German. What's not apparent is that the hub contains built-in transfer and sync software for PCs, Macs, and Android, and Inateck says that the hub can also be used as a KVM switch for all three platforms as well.
The hub itself (without its cable) measures 100 x 30 x 20 mm (3.9 x 1.18 x.8 inches) and weighs 50 grams (.05 ounce). This makes it very easy to slip into your computer bag, although you'll have to be careful not to lose that adapter if you want to connect to a microUSB device. There are three USB ports on the top of the device, and one "magic port" (labeled M-Port) on the end without the attached cable. More on this "magic port" in a moment. The hub and cables are matte gray and all the ports are gold plated.
Inateck's page with complete specs, photos and descriptions is here. Note that although it says "PC to PC" it really does include Macs and Android. :)
Using The Inateck HB4009 USB 3.0 3-Port Hub & Magic Port
We know that our uncommonly well-informed readers already know what a USB hub does (although we can point to a reminder here if you like) so we didn't test the Inateck HB4009 strictly as a 3-port hub. We wanted to concentrate on finding the "magic" that the manufacturer promised. For the purposes of testing, we first connected a Lenovo B590 laptop running Windows 8.1 with a Macbook Air running OS X Yosemite, and then connected a desktop PC running Windows 7 and a Mac Mini running OS X Yosemite. The built-in software does not load on either platform unless you have more than one device connected, but as you can see, it shows up in File Explorer and in the Finder. This is what you'll get in File Explorer:
And in Finder:
We found it interesting that the hub showed up as both a CD drive and a removable drive. This means that you should eject the hub when you're done with it, especially on the Mac, which will complain at you if you don't. When you connect two computers, the software will take a short time to load on both of them. We got an odd error message on the Mac, telling us about a configuration change that had already been made. It was written by someone who is not a native English speaker.
You'll get a message that the computers are connected.
You will see the Mac KM Link icon in the taskbar on the Windows computer and in the Dock on the Mac. Right-click on Preferences (on the PC) or Options (on the Mac) to see a configuration screen.
NOTE: The GoBridge! software is what you use to connect to Android devices.
Oddly, there are a lot more options for PCs than for Macs. Here is what you can do with the PC version of the software (image from Windows 7):
And here is all you get with the Mac:
The most important setting you will need is to specify which side of the current computer the other computer is on (you'll see why in a moment).
Testing Different Combinations
You've seen the results of connections between a Lenovo laptop and a Macbook Air, and between a desktop PC and a Mac Mini. Since the Inateck HB4009 Hub promised to allow connections between other devices, we tried that out. When we connected the Lenovo laptop running Windows 8.1 with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablet running Android Lollipop we ran into some serious problems. First, we had to use the QR code in the manual to download the WinDroid Linker software, or search for "Windroid Linker" in the Google Play app store to get the app (or click here). The manual says that when you transfer data to and from an Android device (which must be OTG enabled) you must use the computer as the controlling device. Unfortunately, the WinDroid Linker software proved impossible to use on the tablet (something that other reviewers found to be the case as well) so we could not test this combination of devices at all.
Strong Points
The Inateck HB4009 3-port USB 3.0 Hub and Magic Port is well made and appears sturdy, and the gold plated contacts are a plus. The removable cable is plenty long enough to connect devices that aren't, for whatever reason, sitting right next to each other. The built-in software loads without problems and should be easy enough for most people to use. It makes dragging and dropping files spectacularly easy and its KVM capabilities are great. It should be very useful for anyone who wants to connect two computers or to transfer files from flash drives to more than one computer at the same time.
Quirks And Inconveniences
There is no way to provide power to the hub. You have to be sure that the devices you connect don't draw too much current. If you are just connecting two computers with their own power sources or transferring files off flash drives, this will not likely be a problem - but it is something you should be aware of if you want to connect relatively power hungry devices to the hub (like external drives, tablets, and smartphones). Any device that charges via USB will quite logically try to charge itself when you connect it, and that will draw a lot of energy and may well prevent the hub from working properly. In fact, when we looked at comments on this device around the web, the #1 complaint people had was the lack of sufficient power. Inateck does not make another version of this hub that can use external power.
When we hooked the computers up for a second day of testing, we inadvertently reversed the hub's position relative to the computers. And the software would not work. The configuration screen on the PC would appear for a second and vanish. The drag and drop didn't work, and we couldn't even open the software on the Mac. So make a note of which end of the HB4009 is connected to which computer the first time around or you won't get anywhere when you try to use it again.
When we connected the hub between a desktop PC running Windows 7 and a Mac Mini running OS X Yosemite, we discovered that if you use a tablet and stylus as your input device (as we do on the PC) you won't be able to drag files off the screen due to the way the tablet works. You may be able to see the cursor just inside the screen on the second computer but you can't move it any farther than that because you run into the border of the tablet.
The software used to connect Android devices is apparently from a third party and did not work on our device. We never did manage to get the tablet to connect. The instructions for the Android software are minimal, and the Inateck manual doesn't make things any easier. This is a shame because this kind of transfer could be extremely useful.
Product Rated
The Inateck HB4009 3-port USB 3.0 Hub and Magic Port is a well made and well-designed device. The built-in software works quite well, although deciphering the manual is not quite as easy as using the software. If you are only going to be using the hub to connect devices that have their own power supplies and to copy files from flash drives, you should have no problems at all. We liked the straightforward interface, the transfer speed and, quite honestly, the whole idea of the device. It should work very well for many people. However, the fact that there's no way to supply power may make it somewhat less useful with devices that charge themselves via USB, and the fact that it has to be hooked up the same way every time might make it appear not to work if you get it wrong, as we inadvertently did. We recommend that you buy it from a retailer that has a good return policy and give it a try.

Capstone checked all the boxes with its latest gadget and appears to be close to making smart mirrors actually relevant.
Smart mirrors are a concept the tech industry has been exploring for many years, without much success. And despite the fact that artificial intelligence assistants have been making their way to speakers, soundbars, displays, and television sets for quite a while now, no company managed to come up with a good idea of why putting one in a mirror makes sense. One look at the Capstone Connected Home Smart Mirror could make one thing the answer is easy but getting to this point certainly wasn't easy. The newly announced contraption that the firm has been showcasing at this year's Consumer Electronics Show is essentially the epitome of what excellent consumer-grade technology is; it's consistent, versatile, intuitive, and perhaps most importantly - virtually invisible, at least when you need it to be.
The 19x22 mirror is planned to be produced in several sizes intended to fit virtually any room in a modern household, with Capstone designing it to seamlessly blend with a broad range of surroundings. The most compact model will by 19 by 22 inches in size, though the Virginia-based company has yet to detail the dimensions of the rest of the lineup. When not in use, the Internet-connected mirror does little to give away its AI-infused nature but the built-in Google Assistant is quick to respond to any queries or commands at all times. An integrated display allows it to function like a larger Google Home Hub or Lenovo Smart Display which you can hang on most surfaces, put on a stand, or even just lean against a wall. Better yet, it's running a full-fledged version of Android, meaning the Google Play Store is part of the package, allowing you to download countless apps such as YouTube and Netflix.
While its form factor and Google Assistant support make the Capstone Smart Mirror a seemingly more capable alternative to voice-enabled displays, this gadget can also be described as a somewhat less portable tablet seeing how it can easily be used as one due to its touchscreen. And while none of its aforementioned features can be described as true industry firsts, the idea to equip an Internet-enabled smart mirror with LED lights is a somewhat more inspiring choice on Capstone's part. Yes, Kohler arrived at CES with a somewhat similar product but this Capstone-made rival seems to have been designed more along the lines of something an average consumer might be able to afford, which is a trait that can't be ignored in any product category, especially when it comes to solutions that are still perceived as somewhat gimmicky.
That's still an educated guess as pricing details are yet to be announced, though the firm's track record suggests there's little chance of the Capstone Smart Mirror commanding a ridiculous price tag, which is something that's still associated with this particular brand of consumer electronics. In other words, this elegant piece of technology appears to have a decent shot at making smart mirrors relevant to some degree, which would be nothing short of unprecedented success and is reason enough for this device to be remembered as one of the highlights of CES 2019. Capstone will be opening pre-orders for its Smart Mirror in a matter of weeks and plans to start shipping first units to consumers by late March.

We develop a conceptual framework for analyzing the interactions between aggregate fiscal policy and monetary policy. The framework draws on existing models that analyze sovereign debt crises and balance-of-payments crises. We intend this framework as a guide for analyzing the monetary and fiscal history of a set of eleven major Latin American countries—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela—from the 1960s until now.

Q: Merging 1300 data frames into a single frame becomes really slow I have 1300 csv files in a directory.
Each file has a date in the first column, followed by daily data for the last 20-30 years which spans another 8 columns.
So like this,
Data1.csv
Date source1 source2 source3 source4 source5 source6 source 7 source 8

I have 1300 uniquely named files.
I am trying to merge all of these into one dataframe using pandas like this
import pandas as pd
frame = pd.DataFrame()

length = len(os.listdir(filepath))
for filename in os.listdir(filepath):
    file_path = os.path.join(filepath, filename)
    print(length,end=" ")
    df = pd.read_csv(file_path,index_col=0)
    df = pd.concat([df[[col]].assign(Source=f'{filename[:-4]}-{col}').rename(columns={col: 'Data'}) for col in df])
    frame = frame.append(df)
    length-=1

But around the 300th file I have around 12 million rows and my code really slows down...
Is there a way to speed this up before my computer runs out of memory.
My goal is actually to have a massive dataframe which is 1+ (1300x8) by number of dates for 30 years.

A: The reason your loop slows down is because of at each .append(), the dataframe has to create a copy in order to allocate more memory, as described here.
If your memory can fit it all, you could first fill a list of fixed size(1300) with all data frames, and then use df = pd.concat(list_of_dataframes), which would probably avoid the issue you are having right now. Your code could be adjusted as such:
import pandas as pd
lst = [None for _ in range(1300)] # Creates empty list

for i, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(filepath)):
    file_path = os.path.join(filepath, filename)
    df = pd.read_csv(file_path,index_col=0)
    df = pd.concat([df[[col]].assign(Source=f'{filename[:-4]}-{col}').rename(columns={col: 'Data'}) for col in df])
    lst[i] = df

frame = pd.concat(lst)

I had the pleasure of interviewing Sudheer Kiran, co-founder of a digital marketing agency Digital Vow, which offers digital marketing services to small and medium-sized enterprises. He also founded a volunteer-driven charity "WeHelpThePoor.Org" based out of Bangalore, India.
I love being an entrepreneur because I love helping companies to grow their businesses. I started blogging at the age of 20. When I was studying my Engineering, I used to gather books and information and upload into my blog to help people who needs more information about the topics they're reading in Engineering. After my engineering graduation I started my career as a software engineer but couldn't stay there because of I am so fond of blogging and digital marketing stuff. After few months I resigned to my software job and joined in another company as an SEO analyst. From that moment I never looked back and never regretted my decision. In fact, that was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I have worked over 8 years in digital marketing in various positions with different companies. My entrepreneurial spirit drove me to start my own company "Digital Vow" to really solve the problems that companies are facing in the age of digital transformation.
All my previous employers love me for the knowledge I have and the results I have delivered while working with them. Few months back I have received a call from one of my previous employers and expressed his interest to acquire my company. First, I told him that we are not interested and asked him what is the reason for the proposal? We want to scale the organization by increasing the sales and marketing performance, but it's not happening with the current digital marketing team, he said. Then I smiled and said let's work together, the reason I started my company is to help the other companies. We agreed to work together after few meetings, and my previous employer became one of our first 10 clients.
Can you share a story about the mistakes you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
I started my company and I got our first client within a month. I was happy and hoped we'll get few more. So, we hired 10 employees to work on the current project and for the future projects. But it was not so easy to get projects so quickly and it was taking more time than expected. As a startup it was a huge burden to manage a team without enough projects in hand. We got few more projects in the next quarter and it was all good again. I have learned that as a startup we shouldn't have hired more people than needed. Our over excitements may hurt the entire business itself.
Most of the digital companies promise the number of submissions and the amount of traffic, etc. There is really lack of the trusted digital marketing companies who promises results. Our company motto is to help the companies to generate more revenue through digital channels. We co-create digital strategies with our clients and deliver results.
Experience in digital marketing industry only helps to understand the problems so quickly. But, don't just carry your experience baggage while creating solutions for your clients. We have seen drastic changes in this industry, so keep updated yourself with the trends and create solutions for today and the future. Because of our experience we easily get carried away and don't look at the problems from other angles. This is something every experienced digital marketing expert need to keep in mind that we are not working for ourselves, we are working to solve the customers' problems.
None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story?
Everything I know today is learned from the people around me and from the people I got inspired. I always welcome challenges in my job, so I was always given the responsibilities more than my experience. And, I always loved it because when I get challenged, I read, learn, and do so much. So, I looked for help to understand my new responsibilities and found an amazing person Mr. Nel Patel. I used to read each post on his blog and watch his videos to educate myself. Later, I started reading more blogs, joined digital marketing and inbound marketing communities to get updated myself and to help my fellow digital marketing people.
I always believe success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. When I was a kid, I used to feel so bad when I see a hungry child because of the extreme poverty and wanted to do something for them. Now I have my daily bread and I can feed some more. Recently I founded a volunteer-driven charity "WeHelpThePoor.Org" based out of Bangalore, India. My friends, colleagues, and neighbours are joining me to help the poor and feed the hungry child. What I learned from this is people are generally kind and willing to help others if you can convince them that together we can change the world.
Thinking money solves everything: It's true that startps struggle for funds. But just money doesn't solve everything, but your team does. Take care of your team and they will take care of your business.
Handling money incorrectly: Getting profits is only one side of the coin for your success, but handling that money is very crucial for the future of your company.
Scaling too quickly: This is one my biggest mistake in my entire life. Never get too excited by the early projects. Scaling too quickly could make you bankrupt.
Underestimating how long sales take: As I mentioned earlier, over excited by the first few projects, I hired more people than needed by hoping we can get more sales in the same month. But it didn't happen and that makes the situation a little worse than expected.
Having too much outside influence: As a stratup founder I was very keen to get an advice from others. At some point, these advices led me to forget the actual reason I started the company and started focusing on something else. A good advice is always good, but never forget the motto that why you started the company.
I spend 10% of my income on charity. I never ask anyone to do the same because I don't know what problems they are going through, or some people are already helping people more than I do. But I always say that just feed one hungry child or spend some time with an orphan and see the smile on their face. Believe me you will filled with happiness and satisfaction of your life and you never want to lose that happiness.
It's a pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to interview me.

Impact of Machine Architecture on Programming Languages | PPL | Impact of Computer Architectures
In this post, we will see Impact of Machine Architecture on Programming Languages | PPL | Impact of Computer Architectures | impact of machine architecture, ppl, principles of programming languages.
Impact of Machine Architectures
Von Neumann Computer Architecture
Organization of a conventional computer
A Computer consists of six major components that correspend closely to major aspects of a programming language :
2. Primitive Operations
3. Sequence Control
4. Data Access
5. Storage Management
6. Operating Environment
A computer must provide various kinds of elementary data items and data structures to be manipulated.
A computer has certain built-in data types that can be manipulated directly by hardware primitive operations:
a. integers,
b. single-precision (e.g., one-word) reals, also called floating-point numbers,
c. fixed-length character strings,
d. fixed-length bit strings (where the length is equal to the number of bits that fit into a single word of storage).
A computer must provide a set of primitive operations useful for manipulating the data.
a. primitives for arithmetic on each built-in numeric data type (e.g., real and integer addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division),
b. primitives for testing various properties of data items (e.g., test for zero, positive, and negative numbers),
c. primitives for accessing and modifying various parts of a data item (e.g., retrieve or store a character in a word and retrieve or
store an operand address in an instruction),
d. primitives for controlling input-output (I/O) devices, and primitives for sequence control (e.g., unconditional and return jumps).
A computer must provide mechanisms for controlling the sequence in which the primitive operations are to be executed.
Dia. : Program interpretation and execution
A computer must provide mechanisms for controlling the data supplied to each execution of an operation.
Operands values can be accessed from Main memory or Registers. Integer addresses are allocated to the memory locations of Main memory.
A computer must provide mechanisms to control the allocation of storage for programs and data.
It takes nanoseconds to access memory within processor (i.e. registers), microseconds to access Main Memory while milliseconds to access external storage.
To balance these speeds appropriately, various storage management facilities are employed.
For speeding up the imbalance between external data access and the central processor, multiprogramming is often used by the operating system.
For speeding up the imbalance between main memory and the central processor, a cache memory is used.
A computer must provide mechanisms for communication with an external environment containing programs and data to be processed.
The operating environment of a computer ordinarily
consists of a set of peripheral storage and I/O devices.

Updated - 2017/06/27 Added another reference and some editing.
We all agree the Geonet code editor is horrible... but it has been updated.
Now the above example gives you the language syntax highlighting that you are familiar with..
NOTE: you can only edit code within this box and not from outside!
You can get into the html editor for fine-tuning, but it can get ugly for the uninitiated.
If editing refresh is slow, use the HTML editor or you will have retired before it completes.
The editor seems to edit each character as you type and it gets painfully slower as the post gets bigger.
You can improve comments and code output by using tables like this and in the example below.
Here is a simple script with code and results published in columns (2 columns * 1 row). If the contents are wider than the screen, the scroll-bar will be located at the end of the document rather than attached to each table (except for iThingys, then just use swipe).
Leave space after a table so you can continue editing after the initial code insertion.
Some space for editing after should be left since positioning the cursor is difficult after the fact.
You can paste text and graphics with a table column.
You can format a column to a maximum pixel size.
So there has been some improvement.
you have to go back to the syntax highlighter.
You can't edit directly on the page.
Re: Why would a Python script output an empty feature class for on xy to point process, but not another?

Q: warning: right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect [-Wunused-value] in C gcc is throwing warning :
log:-
warning: right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect [-Wunused-value]
       for(i=4, data; i

FYI,data is of int type which we are passing to the function which has this forloop
I tried locally to with sample c code which is running fine. Not sure what i need to change in my orig code.
#include <stdio.h>
int main (){
int i;
int data;
for (i=4, data; i<10; ++i){
printf("i valuse is %d", i);
}

I Know "," will evaluate the expression from left to right and it will check last evaluated expression and proceed accordingly.
o/p:-
i valuse is 4
i valuse is 5
i valuse is 6
i valuse is 7
i valuse is 8
i valuse is 9

A: It's inclusion is, in fact, potentially very harmful indeed.
data is an expression with value data and because it's the last expression in an outer expression exploiting the expression separator operator, that outer expression has the value data. Strictly speaking its presence means that the behaviour of your program is undefined since it's not initialised and conceptually at least, the compiler is free to generate code that reads the value.
Since it has no useful effect, so your helpful compiler is telling you that, and you should remove it.

A:
right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect

The warning is quite clear. The occurrence of the comma operator is in
  for (i=10, data; i<10; ++i)
           ^^^^^^

The variable data is unused, even if you remove from the "expression" part for the for loop. The best way is to completely get rid of that.


The Yankees and Mariners stand face to face in a standoff over, with the first one to blink likely to be the lose the services of left-handed, flyball starter Jerrod Washburn.
A decision must be made by the July 31 trading deadline, or both teams come up empty.
The Mariners desperately need to dump the remainder of Washburn's approximate $50 million, five-year contract but are holding out for a prospect, and the Yankees are refusing to give up anything of significant value but cash, according to WFAN 660 Radio reporter Sweeny Murti speaking live from Yankees batting practice Tuesday for the SNY television network.
Meanwhile, various other media outlets speculate that crafty, left-handed Japanese strikeout artist Kei Igawa -- so far a bust against major league pitching but currently pitching relatively well for Triple A Scranton-Wilkes Barre -- is the most the Yankees would be willing to give up, plus pay part of his contract.
