Staff Picks
Developing the new Utopian bot by @amosbastian [development]
After several days during which Utopian received a large number of contributions, a new voting bot was needed. None other than @amosbastian took the task to improve the bot, so that contributions with higher scores are not excluded, which means that contributions that are of lesser quality do not stay at the top of the voting queue. In his post, @amosbastian introduced the issue and described the needed changes. Unlike in the past, the bot now votes for 3 different types of content: The comments written by reviewers, the contributions, and selected trails.

Introducing 'Competition Pools' on 1Ramp - With 2 Ongoing Contests by @the1ramp [development]
With this update 1Ramp has made hosting contests on Steem much easier. From creating contests to announcing results, the entire process can now be done with 1Ramp's Android app. The amount of work and attention to detail that has gone into this contribution is a great example for other contributors!

Removing delegations from faucet abusers by @crokkon [anti-abuse]
This was a great week for the antiabuse category. Starting with @crokkon, the quality of the contributions exceeded our expectations. Crokkon’s post about unwinding a faucet delegation vote farm educates the steem blockchain community about a type of abuse most have never heard of. This post teaches you how to find and recognize a vote farm. Then, it shows you what needs to be done to remove the delegations and return them to steemit inc. This is an eye opener to many who may think there is no reason to fight abuse on the platform. Read this post and learn about the Irredeemables.

The Creative Crypto Magazine [A Global Steem-Powered Publication] by @sndbox [blog]
In the Blog category, we’re always striving for posts that are at a high professional level. This post by @sndbox is exactly what we’re looking for. The writing is crisp and clear, and the post is beautifully illustrated. While the project itself is only open source thanks to its front end, it is a magazine that is of interest to all Steemians with an interest in quality writing and lovely art. We are very happy to be able to highlight it as a staff pick.

Writing a simple Compiler on my own - Type Declaration and Checking [C][Flex][Bison] by @drifter1 [tutorials]
Another well-crafted part in @drifter1’s series about creating your own C compiler. As we progress through the different steps of this process, the author takes us in a very coherent, well-detailed approach into finalizing all the prep work needed to get the compiler fully up and running. In this phase, type declarations are presented along with type checking and integrating with the symbol table. We look forward to the next steps in bringing this compiler to reality. According to the author, those will involve semantic analysis, intermediate and machine code generation.

Abuse Series: Call to Action by @enforcer48 [anti-abuse]
This is the second staff pick for the Antiabuse category. @enforcer48 has built a beautiful and entertaining contribution. It walks the reader smoothly through a type of abuse that is very debated on the platform: Bid Bot abuse. Through a tip in a comment from a thoughtful steemian, a web of deception is exposed. Because this person changed their identity and used bid bots, they were also caught plagiarizing content from the web. This article shows that many of the well known bid bot owners do care about abuse and are willing to remove votes from the abusive accounts. Don’t miss this great post, that starts with an account at 56 rep and ends at a -6 rep.

[Translation][Spanish] Node.js (1597 words) (Part 30) by @dedicatedguy [translations]
The translator translated 1,597 words accurately. He explained the dynamics of changelog commits and definition of important terms learned during the translation process. Readers of the post can now know what TLS and dotfiles are. He also added a few examples of the translated content and correct terminologies used in the translation.
