Recently, I got to know ngrok.
However, I cannot find where the name 'ngrok' come from.
Many software have interesting etymologies, and I wonder how ngrok was named.
Is it just ngrok?
This discussion including Alan Shreve (the author of ngrok) may give some ideas.
In short, 'n' is just a starting letter of many network tools (just as ngrep) and 'grok' is just 'to grok'.
so the name is kind of just a play on the word grok, coined by Heinlein, which is ‘to understand’, and ‘n’ because there are a whole bunch of other network tools that start with. It was kind of a play on ngrep.
Great question. In general, we don't say.

I am using Google Cloud Translation API in one of my projects. I want to specify the gender for the translation. I am unable to find about this in Google Cloud Translation. I have also searched a lot on the Internet but not found any way to do this. I know how to specify the gender in Google Text to Speech API using the SSML, but I need it for the translation. Any help will be highly appreciated.
After much searching I have discovered that there is currently no way to do this.
I have made a feature request along these lines at the invitation of GCP support.
The documentation indicates that feature requests are prioritised by how often an issue is starred, so for now my best answer is to star the issue here so that they know how many people are interested in this.
Looking for the same...
As it is NMT (Neural Machine Translation), it reacts to context.
I tried many combinations and found that this works well so far (says, not 'to', not 'talk').
Examples are EN > ES
However, sometimes its effect doesn't reach far in the translation.
So you have to stick the 'prefix' before each sentence.
Sometimes you get irregular behavior (see lower case "estoy"). And when you change something irrelevant (to you, but not to the model) ... buala!
So the final version (for now) is:
I guess the point is:
Understanding how it works (Machine Learning Language Models)
The Model (Algorithm) they use is evolving, so you need to keep an eye, as what works today may break tomorrow.
Once you get the response you will have to filter out you 'prefix', but that is not too difficult.
Please comment if you find better ways (or the API gets updated).

I've briefly looked around for an answer to this and it doesn't seem to be doable, but figured I'd ask on here. I am about to launch a survey on qualtrics, but would prefer, if at all possible, to customize the URL address for my survey. I would like to do this only because I plan on printing out a few advertisements to display around campus, and requiring people to then go back to their computers and type in a lengthy and complex web address is not exactly ideal.
Cheers
Use a url shortening service like goo.gl.
I have a question to answer for one of my classes. But I'm having some trouble finding the information on this.
"So you have network traffic dumps as files on a USB given by the victims. How can you know that it is accurate? List some of the ways that it could have been changed. What things would you look for within the dump file that might indicate tampering."
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Thanks alfasin. Your link helped,

Whats the best way to identify network behavior??
Behavior of the ports/interfaces and routers?
I can get data and analyse the traffic but trying to search for a pattern for a meaningful classification.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
WireShark is a great tool, too.
Features are similar to other, but one is the exporting to CSV. You could then import the CSV into Excel and run some analysis there.
Try Fiddler.
I would say Ethereal is the best tool out there.

It was some time since I used it, but by what I remember you could choose a number of filters and features like that which made it very clear what was going on.
Currently, we're using a wiki at work to share insights, tips and information. But somehow, people aren't sharing snippets that way. It's probably too inconvenient to write and too difficult to find snippets there.
So, is there a multi-user/collaborative snippets manager around? Something like Snippely. (Has anyone tried Snippely in multi-user mode?)
Since we're all on the same site, it would probably be best if it used mapped network drives or ODBC instead of its own server process.
Oh, and it has to support Unicode and let us choose any truetype font. We're using the hideous APL language, which uses special characters.
It would be nice if it didn't cost money, so I wouldn't have to convince management to pay for it as well as the other developers to use it.
Pastebin is a common solution to this. Just install somewhere on your network, then paste snippets. http://pastebin.com/
Works well when trying to debug a piece of code, or stack trace also.
There's Snip-it pro ( http://www.snipitpro.com ), I looked at it a while back, and the interface seemed to be pretty horrible. It's 40 bucks / seat, which is not too bad. Last time I was looking for a tool like that I found nothing at all, and I found that it's very hard to get my co-workers to start using snippet libraries - everybody is happy to google it or search their old codebases. These days I use Evernote for all of my own snippeting needs.
