#20554 closed enhancement (fixed)
Python 3 preparation: Remove implicit tuple parameter unpacking (2)
Description (last modified by )
This was supposed to be fixed in #15993 but a lot of new instances came up...
This syntax is deprecated, see PEP 3113:
def add_constraints(self, cons, (args, opts)): ...
Similarly for
lambda (i,j): ..... In many cases, we can actually replace the
lambda function either with a list comprehension (if
lambda is used for the
map() function for example) or with an ordinary Python function.

Thanks for you answer. I also found out that Neutron has an API extension to allow administrators and tenants to create "routers" that connect to L2 networks. Known as the "neutron-l3-agent", it uses the Linux IP stack and iptables to perform L3 forwarding and NAT. In order to support multiple routers with potentially overlapping IP addresses, neutron-l3-agent defaults to using Linux network namespaces to provide isolated forwarding contexts. Like the DHCP namespaces that exist for every network defined in Neutron, each router will have its own namespace with a name based on its UUID.

Working; and code modularization.
Introduction
My name is Yusei Nishiyama. My talk is about building for iOS at scale. I work for a company named Cookpad. It is the largest recipe sharing service in the world with the aim of making everyday cooking fun. We cover 67 countries and 21 languages, and we have about 100 million users all around the world. There are 10 iOS developers. Four in the U.K., four in Japan, one in Lebanon and one in Colombia.
Working on an app that supports users all over the world in a distributed chain involves many challenges. I will talk about working with a large team and working with a large code base. The first part of the talk covers Fastlane, Danger and code metrics. The second part covers build time reduction and code modularization.
Working with Large Teams
If you work in a team, you may have issues that you never have when you work alone. For example, someone broke the build, and the rest of the team does not know how to fix it properly. Or perhaps someone’s vacation may prevent the team from making a new release because only one person has the distribution certificate.
Generally, you can deal with those common issues with continuous integration (CI) and automation. None of those tasks should be developer dependent.
Continuous integration should consist of several subsystems. This is an overview of our CI system:
The diagram starts from the point where a developer pushes their change to GitHub. GitHub triggers a Jenkins job through a webhook. Then Jenkins executes a Fastlane script.
Fastlane is a suite of tools that make it much simpler to automate mobile developers’ daily chores. You can define your custom workflow in a text file called a Fastfile. We have seven Fastfiles which have 28 “lanes”. Fastlane is now very popular among mobile developers and you might have been familiar with some common use cases like running tests or uploading your app.
A practical example is syncing dSYMs. If you enable bitcode, your compiled bitcode and generated dSYMs are uploaded to the server, then you will need to download the generated dSYMs from the upload server, and then upload them to a crash reporting service such as Crashlytics so that crash reports can be symbolicated. This script automates the process:
version = get_version_number build_number = get_build_number # Download dSYM files from iTC into a temporary directory download_dsyms(version: version, build_number: build_number) # Upload them to Crashlytics upload_symbols_to_crashlytics # Delete the temporary dSYM files clean_build_artifacts
Get more development news like this
Our server also automatically builds up and distributes the app to testers for every push to github. But there are some changes that you may not want to distribute to testers - for instance, documentation updates because it simply wastes CI resources; we distribute a better version only when a pull request is labeled as “beta distribution”.
Getting labels from github is also very easy with Fastlane. Fastlane has a
github_api action with which you can call a github API, like this:
desc "Check if pr is marked as beta distribution" private_lane :beta_distribution do labels.any? { |label| label == 'beta distribution' } end desc "Get labels of pull request" private_lane :labels do pr_number = ENV['PR_NUMBER'] repo = ENV['GITHUB_PULL_REQUEST_REPO'] result = github_api( http_method: 'GET', path: "/repos/#{repo}/issues/#{pr_number}/labels" ) result[:json].map { |label| label['name'] } end
Those lanes in the example fetch labels from a specific pull request and check if they contain a beta distribution label.
At Cookpad, each push triggers a beta distribution to internal testers. Members of a company should be some of your best users, and their feedback is really valuable.
Unfortunately, because pushes can happen automatically, and a lot of developing features are occurring in different branches, if we developers don’t communicate with testers well, they stop giving us feedback because they can’t know what we want them to test.
One solution is to convey to testers the purpose of the build through the icon. This Fastlane script appends a badge on the icon. This makes communication with developer and tester much easier:
if is_release? next elsif is_rc? title = 'RC' number = get_version_number elsif is_beta? title = 'Beta' number = sh('git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD').strip elsif is_pr? title = 'PR' number = ENV.fetch('PR_NUMBER') end badge(shield: “#{title}-#{number}-blue", dark: true, no_badge: true)
Testers can now easily identify which one is from latest candidate branch:
Code Review with Danger
Before talking about Danger, let me ask a question. Have you ever posted a nitpicky comment such as “please remove your parentheses surrounding the condition”? Something like this should be done by a machine automatically. This is where Danger comes in.
Danger runs in your CI process. It automates common code review tasks with the philosophy of leaving developers to think about harder problems. All you need to do is to define the rules that every pull request should meet in a text file called a Dangerfile. Here’s an example:
github.dismiss_out_of_range_messages({ error: false, warning: true, message: true, markdown: true }) xcode_summary.inline_mode = true xcode_summary.ignored_files = ['Pods/**'] xcode_summary.ignored_results { |result| result.message.start_with? 'ld' } log = File.join('logs', 'test.json') xcode_summary.report log if File.exist?(log) swiftlint.binary_path = './Pods/SwiftLint/swiftlint' swiftlint.lint_files inline_mode: true
One important to note is that you can execute Linter through your Dangerfile. Danger can comment on your pull request on behalf of you, and warn about rule violations. This way, you no longer need to spend your time on minor styling mistakes, like saying “please remove TODO before merging the branch” or “this line exceeds the character limit”.
Collecting Code Metrics
Our system is unique when it comes to code metrics. We collect our code metrics in a database which is called InfluxDB. InfluxDB is a data storage which specializes in time series data. It has a built-in HTTP API and a lot of client libraries in many languages. It’s very easy to integrate InfluxDB into your build system. It’s written in GO, so it’s really fast and responsive.
We have a Fastlane script which collects code coverage and posts the data to InfluxDB. Those data is read and visualized through Grafana. Grafana is a metrics dashboard and editor that supports InfluxDB. Here is an actual change in our test coverage, as visualized in Grafana:
If your metrics are visualized and accessible, everyone can be aware of both the good and the bad things that are happening on your team. That’s why visualization is really important.
We also utilize InfluxDB and Grafana to measure other metrics such as the number of issues and number of pull requests. We can use that data to see how productive our team is, and how stable our app is.
This helps because we can set a clear goal. We can say we have number x and we should target number y.
Working with a Large Code Base
Here is an example of an issue when working with a large code base. Suppose you need to improve your app’s registration screen to reduce the abandonment rate. Here’s what might happen:
- Implement a redesign.
- Hit the run button to check whether it’s working as you intend.
- You find a bug in the layout. You fix that and then run it again.
- Unfortunately, you find another bug which only occurs on a specific version of iOS. You fix that bug, and then you push the change to github.
- Your CI server starts building your branch and launches tests against it.
- The CI fails due to a failing test.
- You fix it, run the test locally, then push the change to github.
- Then you need to wait for CI again.
When your codebase is large, and the size of your team is big, the above example can present a serious issue in regards to building.
Reduce Build Time
There are techniques to measure and improve Swift build time. I will show you how to improve the Swift build time and gain productivity in two parts: measurement and improvement.
Measuring the Build Time
If you want to improve something, you should start from understanding the problem. The first thing you could do is enable the
ShowBuildOperationDuration flag. It displays the build time in Xcode, so that you can always be aware of this.
However, it’s not enough. The build process can be broken down into multiple processes such as dependency management and compilation of each source file, and you may run Linter and Formatter in a run-script phase. You need to know how long each process takes to identify the exact bottleneck.
Fastlane does a great job here: it generates a record as an XML file with which you can get a good insight into how long each process takes. As it’s just a JUnit style XML file, Jenkins can render it as test results. In the Jenkins console, you can check which lane was executed, how long each took, and whether they were successful or not:
You can further break down the compile phase into the compilation of each function. An easy way to find a function which takes a long time to compile is to enable
frontend-warn-long-function-bodies flag. If you turn the flag on, Xcode warns you of functions that have long compile times. For example, I set the threshold to 100 milliseconds, and Xcode complained because a function took 15 seconds to compile.
You can also let the compiler print out how long each function takes to compile by using the
frontend-debug-time-function-bodies flag. You can play with the data just by copying and pasting it in your terminal, but that is not tooling friendly. The extension of the log file is
.xcactivitylog - it is just a gzip file, so you can unzip it and read it in plain text.
With the build log, one of my colleagues developed a Danger plugin which comments directly on a function that takes too long to compile:
(in Dangerfile) xcprofiler.thresholds = { warn: 50, fail: 500 } xcprofiler.report 'ProductName'
It gives us a chance to consider if there’s any other way to write this function in a compiler-friendly way.
Improving Build Time
In this section, I will show you how the build time was improved with real data from a real application. This application has 40,000 lines of Swift code, so it’s a medium-sized app. CocoaPods is used as a dependency management tool; it has 38 direct dependencies to pod library and ends up installing 60 libraries.
Whole Module Optimization
To start, it took 48 minutes to test and archive on CI. The easiest but the most effective technique to fix this is to start with Whole Module Optimization. With it, the Swift compiler compiles all files in the module at the same time.
The intended benefit of Whole Module Optimization is to let the compiler optimize code more aggressively. There’s a hack with which you can tell a compiler to compile the whole module at once, but without any optimization. You can try this by setting optimization level “Whole Module Optimization” and specifying optimization level “none” in the “other” Swift flag:
You can find more discussions about build time reduction using this technique. Whole Module Optimization without any optimization may sound weird, but it makes the build time really fast in most cases. With that setting, now CI takes less than 20 minutes to test and archive.
Playgrounds for Prototyping
The build time improved, but it could be better. You really do not need to build the entire app every time with Playgrounds. Playgrounds is more than an Apple environment because it can render views, and we can use Playgrounds as a powerful prototyping tool.
So Playgrounds seems to be a solution, but it’s not 100% true because it’s rare that your code doesn’t rely on any existing code. Ideally, you should have a separate module for each purpose so that you can play with them in Playground easily. In this example, I have my own UI framework which is imported from both Playground and my application project, and we can access a custom color scheme through Playground:
import UIKit @testable import YourUIKit let color = UIColor.myGreen ---- class ViewController: UITableViewController { let myView = MyView() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .myColor view.addSubview(myView) } }
Code Modularization and Microservice Architecture
Code modularization is the idea of having separate modules for each purpose. In 2014, James Lewis proposed the microservice architecture. This is an approach to develop a single application as a suite of small services. It does not completely correspond here, as the idea relates to web applications, but we can get similar benefits from it.
If you apply the idea to apps, you will get this kind of architecture:
You have a core framework consisting of a design framework, a networking framework, and a persistence layer, and you can build each feature on top of those core libraries.
The benefit of code modularization is more than just keeping your project cleaner. As the default access level of Swift is internal, everything you put into your framework is private from other frameworks by default. It gives you more opportunities to consider which methods and properties should be public and which should be private.
Another benefit is that you can get a faster incremental build time. A change you make to a module doesn’t trigger a re-build of other modules. So it could improve your incremental build time dramatically.
Another thing you could get from code modularization is autonomous teams. As organizations expand, it’s hard to synchronize teams with each other. It can take months to get a stable version because it’s really hard to make sure that a change to a feature doesn’t break any other features. When there are clear boundaries between modules, people can focus only on the individual modules that they are working on without being concerned about what others are doing.
To make your app modular, put all of your developing frameworks into a single repository. The main benefit of this approach is that you don’t need to change your workflow. You can work with your frameworks as you did for a single monolithic application. The downside may be that those frameworks are not ready to be open-sourced.
You can also manage your frameworks in different repositories. One obvious downside of the approach is that it makes your workflow more complex. Imagine developing a new feature which requires changes to your main application and changes to your framework, say the networking layer. Then you may need to submit two different requests. One is to your main application, and one is to the API framework. This obviously makes your workflow more complex.
Dependency Management
Next is to consider dependency management. I will compare four possible approaches: CocoaPods, git-submodule, Carthage and gitsubtree.
CocoaPods has been a de facto standard among iOS developers and is still one of the best dependency management tools. The only thing you need to do is to define dependencies in a Podfile, and CocoaPod manages everything else. To put it another way, there are a lot of things happening under the hood, which makes things harder when you face a problem.
Strictly speaking, git-submodule is not a dependency management tool. It just checks out dependent repositories for you, and everything else is up to you. However, additional complexity is introduced in your workflow because every time you make a change to your framework, you need to update the reference in the parent repository to point to the new commit.
Carthage is a middle ground approach between CocoaPods and git-submodule. You define dependencies in a Cartfile, and Carthage downloads them for you, but how to link them is up to you. Carthage also pre-builds libraries, so Xcode doesn’t need to compile and index them, which saves a lot of time. One thing you must be careful with is ABI (application binary interface ) stability. At Swift, ABI stability is not yet available; all your previous frameworks must be built with the same version of the Swift compiler.
Git subtree is less popular than the other three. It clones the sub-project, and merges it into the parent project, so you can make changes both to the parent project and the sub-project in the same place. When you push those changes, git subtree goes through the commit, picking the changes that should go to each sub-project. With the magic of git subtree, you can do your work as if you are in a single repository even though it is actually backed by multiple repositories. The pros and the cons are mostly the same as with git-submodule, but one significant advantage is that you don’t need to change your workflow. A downside is that you need to use the slightly tricky merging strategies of git subtree, or you can wind up with a serious conflict or dirty git history. There’s a medium post that explains how a team modularized their code using git subtree. I highly recommend that you read it!.
If your app is a huge, monolithic application, then code modularization is not a simple task. Once you decide to do this, you should start from a single repository, because at the beginning of the process your frameworks are probably not very stable. Then, after a while, when you get to the point where your framework is not changed very often, you can consider separating them into multiple repositories, and use previous versions of them.
A common pitfall with code modularization is dynamic framework loading time. You can check how long dynamic library loading takes by enabling the
DYLD_PRINT_STATISTICS flag. If an app takes very long to open, the system queues you up. Some people work around this problem by merging all the frameworks into a single, dynamic framework, and link that into an application, but this is not a very simple solution.
Dynamic library loading time was the only concern in moving this idea forward, and it seems that even Apple does not encourage it. So I was undecided about this approach for a while. However, my concerns have recently vanished, because Xcode 9 started supporting Swift static library targets.
Conclusion
- Automating your daily workflows with Fastlane, CI, and Danger saves you time for code review.
- Visualize everything you want to improve.
- Revising project settings may improve build time.
- Code modularization improves build index time and helps you to maintain a well-structured team and code base.

Neutron-Lib Conventions¶
Summary¶
- Standard modules - current cycle + 2 deprecation policy
- Legacy modules - current cycle + 1 deprecation policy
- Private modules - no deprecation warnings of any kind
Interface Contract¶
The neutron-lib repo exists to provide code with a long-term stable interface for subprojects. If we do need to deprecate something, a debtcollector warning will be added, the neutron-lib core team will make every effort to update any neutron stadium project for you, and you will get at least the current release plus two cycles before it disappears.
In keeping with how hard it is to remove things, the change velocity of this library will be slower than neutron. There are two notable cases where code should go into standard neutron instead of this lib (or your repo):
- It is something common, but changes a lot. An example is something like the neutron Port object. Everyone uses it, but it changes frequently. You don’t want to wait for a library release to tweak some neutron feature, and we are not going to force releases quickly because you tried to put it here. Those items will need to be addressed in some other manner (in the case of the Port object, it’ll be via an auto-magic container object that mimics it.)
- It is something common, but you need it now. Put it in the repo that needs it, get your stuff working. Then consider making it available in the lib, and eventually remove it from your repo when the lib is publishing it. An example would be a new neutron constant. The process would be, put it in neutron along with your change, submit it to the lib, when that constant is eventually available, remove it from neutron and use the lib version.
Private Interfaces¶
Private interfaces are PRIVATE. They will disappear, be renamed, and absolutely no regard will be given to anyone that is using them. They are for internal library use only.
DO NOT USE THEM. THEY WILL CHANGE.
Private interfaces in this library will always have a leading underscore, on the module or function name.
Legacy Modules¶
This library has a special namespace called neutron_lib.legacy.
Anything in this directory will likely get a new interface in the top-level library sometime in the near future, and then a debtcollector deprecation notice. Expect to get current cycle plus one release of maintenance at that point, and then they will be removed.
Why this intermediary step? Because neutron has some serious dependency issues with its subprojects that need breaking, we do not want to rush some of the refactors to our interfaces that need to happen, we have limited resources, but we still need to make addressing those dependency issues a high priority.
The legacy module is for those existing modules in neutron that are in wide use by subprojects, but which are not super interfaces. The legacy submodule is for routines that will still be maintained with a long-term backwards compatibility interface contract, but which are not considered “library worthy” by the neutron core team.
This can easily be abused as a kitchen sink to just move stuff and make fast progress. Please do not do this, and do not expect this kind of thing to be favorably reviewed. Good candidates for this area are things that we want to refactor, but are lower priority, AND they have been around for a long time with no changes (i.e. an existing history of stability). | https://docs.openstack.org/neutron-lib/ocata/conventions.html | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | refinedweb | 581 | 60.65 |
I spent my first years in at Canonical working in the Ubuntu One project, particularly in what we always called "filesync": the pure file synchronization server (which was propietary at that time), the client, and the protocol (both always open source).
Then, the company didn't push the project anymore, I started to work on other areas, and eventually the project was cancelled. When they cancelled it, they made the promise of opensourcing the server, which will allow to anyone put the full stack to work and have their own personal filesync cloud.
Time passed by, and at some point I got instructions to put daily time on that opensourcing work. I've been working the whole day on this for several weeks, and even more weeks part time, massaging all the code and dependencies for the project to be public. Then the project was released.
Was the project easily usable for anyone to start syncing files? Not really, my goals when working in the project to make it available for everybody were:
- use only dependencies and libraries from a standard Ubuntu Precise environment and from freely available code from Launchpad
- "make test" to pass ok, which means that further development can be easily started
- "make start-oauth" to start and work ok, which means that the server actually works and sync files
However, there's a lot to do for the service to be really used in a production environment where we can put our files and trust it, including but not limited to:
- keep cleaning the project, lot of quirks and small weirdness to fix
- make it to store files not in AWS but in the local filesystem
- (after last item because some internal working reasons involving resumable upload that won't explain here) make it work in Trusty, or even in any modern (Ubuntu or not Ubuntu) environment
- make it work nicely in a production environment (currently, for example, everytime it starts it uses a fresh database!)
- simplify it: the server will not longer be used to hold a million users so features like use PostgreSQL in several shards are not worth it anymore
- and several etceteras
Note that part of this work already started!! Naty Bidart and myself are working actively in some of those points.
Where? Well, with Natalia we already had the Magicicada Project, which was a GUI to interact with the client. So we forked the rest of the projects and naturally put them under that namespace.
So, the whole solution stack currently is:
- Magicicada Server: the one that "lives in the cloud" and holds the files so all your clients can access them.
- Magicicada Client: the application that runs in background in each of your computers, uploading/downloading new/changed files from/to the server.
- Magicicada Protocol: a project with common code between client and server, particularly all the protocol implementation that allows them to talk each other.
- Magicicada GUI: a small graphical utility that lets you interact and supervise what the client is doing in your computer.
Read more
All further work will be done in those projects. If you want to participate please suscribe to the mailing list or say hi in the IRC channel (#magicicada in Freenode). Also, you can file issues for any bug you find or new features/changes you want (be sure to choose the right project: server, client, protocol or gui).
If you're a bzr impaired developer, we have mirrors in GitHub (currently, only for the server, others will be added in the following weeks, ping us if you want any of these to happen sooner).
In any case, you may want to follow the Magicicada twitter account, where will be posting all kind of progress notifications.

This tutorial begins where Tutorial 2 left off. We’re continuing the Web-poll application and will focus on creating the public interface – “views.”
Overview
A view is a “type” of Web page in your Django application that generally serves a specific function and has a specific template. For example, in a blog:
- Question “index” page – displays the latest few questions.
- Question “detail” page – displays a question text, with no results but with a form to vote.
- Question “results” page – displays results for a particular question.
- Vote action – handles voting for a particular choice in a particular question.
In Django, web pages and other content are delivered by views. Each view is represented by a simple Python function (or method, in the case of class-based views). Django will choose a view by examining the URL that’s requested (to be precise, the part of the URL after the domain name).
Now in your time on the web you may have come across such beauties as “ME2/Sites/dirmod.
Writing more views
Now let’s add a few more views to polls/views.py. These views are slightly different, because they take an argument:
polls)
Wire these new views into the polls.urls module by adding the following path() calls:
polls/urls.py
from django.urls import pathfrom . import viewsurlpatterns = [# ex: /polls/path('', views.index, name='index'),# ex: /polls/5/path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),# ex: /polls/5/results/path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),# ex: /polls/5/vote/path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),]
Take a look in your browser, at “/polls/34/”. It’ll run the detail() method and display whatever ID you provide in the URL. Try “/polls/34/results/” and “/polls/34/vote/” too – these will display the placeholder results and voting pages.
When somebody requests a page from your.
There’s no need to add URL cruft such as .html – unless you want to, in which case you can do something like this:
path('polls/latest.html', views.index),
But, don’t do that. It’s silly.
Write views that actually do something 2. Here’s one stab at a new index() view, which displays the latest 5 poll questions in the system, separated by commas, according to publication date:
polls/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponsefrom .models import Questiondef index(request):latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]output = ', '.join([q.question_text for q in latest_question_list])return HttpResponse(output)# Leave the rest of the views (detail, results, vote) unchanged
There’s a problem here, though: the page’s design is hard-coded in the view. If you want to change the way the page looks, you’ll have to edit this Python code. So let’s use Django’s template system to separate the design from Python by creating a template that the view can use.
First, create a directory called templates in your polls directory. Django will look for templates in there.
Your project’s TEMPLATES setting describes how Django will load and render templates. The default settings file configures a DjangoTemplates backend whose APP_DIRS option is set to True. By convention DjangoTemplates looks for a “templates” subdirectory in each of the INSTALLED_APPS.
Within the templates directory you have just created, create another directory called polls, and within that create a file calledindex.html. In other words, your template should be at polls/templates/polls/index.html. Because of how the app_directories template loader works as described above, you can refer to this template within Django simply as polls/index.html.
Template namespacing: Now we might be able to get away with putting our templates directly in polls/templates (rather than creating another polls subdirectory), but it would actually be a bad idea.:
polls/templates/polls/index.html
{% if latest_question_list %}<ul>{% for question in latest_question_list %}<li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>{% endfor %}</ul>{% else %}<p>No polls are available.</p>{% endif %}
Now let’s update our index view in polls/views.py to use the template:
polls/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponsefrom django.template import loaderfrom .models import Questiondef index(request):latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')context = {'latest_question_list': latest_question_list,}return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))
That code loads the template called polls/index.html and passes it a context. The context is a dictionary mapping template variable names to Python objects.
Load the page by pointing your browser at “/polls/”, and you should see a bulleted-list containing the “What’s up” question from Tutorial 2. The link points to the question’s detail page.
A shortcut: render()
It’s a very common idiom to load a template, fill a context and return an HttpResponse object with the result of the rendered template. Django provides a shortcut. Here’s the full index()view, rewritten:
polls/views.py
from django.shortcuts import renderfrom .models import Questiondef index(request):latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]context = {'latest_question_list': latest_question_list}return render(request, 'polls/index.html', context)
Note that once we’ve done this in all these views, we no longer need to import loader and HttpResponse (you’ll want to keep HttpResponse if you still have the stub methods for detail, results, and vote).
The render() function takes the request object as its first argument, a template name as its second argument and a dictionary as its optional third argument. It returns an HttpResponse object of the given template rendered with the given context.
Raising a 404 error
Now, let’s tackle the question detail view – the page that displays the question text for a given poll. Here’s the view:
polls/views.py
from django.http import Http404from django.shortcuts import renderfrom .models import Question# ...def detail(request, question_id):try:question = Question.objects.get(pk=question_id)except Question.DoesNotExist:raise Http404("Question does not exist")return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', {'question': question})
The new concept here: The view raises the Http404 exception if a question with the requested ID doesn’t exist.
We’ll discuss what you could put in that polls/detail.html template a bit later, but if you’d like to quickly get the above example working, a file containing just:
polls/templates/polls/detail.html
{{ question }}
will get you started for now.
A shortcut: get_object_or_404()
It’s a very common idiom to use get()and raise Http404 if the object doesn’t exist. Django provides a shortcut. Here’s the detail()view, rewritten:
polls/views.py
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, renderfrom .models import Question# ...def detail(request, question_id):question = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', {'question': question})
The get_object_or_404() function takes a Django model as its first argument and an arbitrary number of keyword arguments, which it passes to the get()function of the model’s manager. It raises Http404if the object doesn’t exist.
Philosophy: Why do we use a helper function get_object_or_404() instead of automatically catching the ObjectDoesNotExistexceptions at a higher level, or having the model API raise Http404 instead of ObjectDoesNotExist?
Because that would couple the model layer to the view layer. One of the foremost design goals of Django is to maintain loose coupling. Some controlled coupling is introduced in the django.shortcuts module.
There’s also a get_list_or_404()function, which works just as get_object_or_404()– except using filter()instead of get(). It raises Http404 if the list is empty.
Use the template system
Back to the detail()view for our poll application. Given the context variable question, here’s what the polls/detail.html template might look like:
polls/templates/polls/detail.html
<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1><ul>{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}<li>{{ choice.choice_text }}</li>{% endfor %}</ul>
The template system uses dot-lookup syntax to access variable attributes. In the example of {{ question.question_text }}, first Django does a dictionary lookup on the object question. Failing that, it tries an attribute lookup – which works, in this case. If attribute lookup had failed, it would’ve tried a list-index lookup.
Method-calling happens in the {% for %} loop: question.choice_set.all is interpreted as the Python code question.choice_set.all(), which returns an iterable of Choice objects and is suitable for use in the {% for %} tag
See the template guide for more about templates.
Removing hardcoded URLs in templates
Remember, when we wrote the link to a question in the polls/index.html template, the link was partially hardcoded like this:
<li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>
The problem with this hardcoded, tightly-coupled approach is that it becomes challenging to change URLs on projects with a lot of templates. However, since you defined the name argument in thepath() functions in the polls.urls module, you can remove a reliance on specific URL paths defined in your url configurations by using the {% url %} template tag:
<li><a href="{% url 'detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>
The way this works is by looking up the URL definition as specified in the polls.urls module. You can see exactly where the URL name of ‘detail’ is defined below:
...# the 'name' value as called by the {% url %} template tagpath('>/', views.detail, name='detail'),...
Namespacing URL names
The tutorial project has just one app, polls. In real Django projects, there might be five, ten, twenty apps or more. How does Django differentiate the URL names between them? For example, the polls app has a detail view, and so might an app on the same project that is for a blog. How does one make it so that Django knows which app view to create for a url when using the {% url %} template tag?
The answer is to add namespaces to your URLconf. In the polls/urls.py file, go ahead and add an app_name to set the application namespace:
polls/urls.py
from django.urls import pathfrom . import viewsapp_name = 'polls'urlpatterns = [path('', views.index, name='index'),path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),]
Now change your polls/index.html template from:
polls/templates/polls/index.html
<li><a href="{% url 'detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>
to point at the namespaced detail view:
polls/templates/polls/index.html
<li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

Introduction to Bidirectional Search
Bidirectional search is a graph search where unlike Breadth First search and Depth First Search, the search begins simultaneously from Source vertex and Goal vertex and ends when the two searches meet somewhere in between in the graph. This is thus especially used for getting results in a fraction of the time taken by both DFS and FS searches. The search from the initial node is forward search while that from the goal node is backwards. It is also based on heuristic search meaning finding the shortest path to goal optimally.
Bidirectional Search Algorithm
Heuristic refers to the concept of finding the shortest path from the current node in the graph to the goal node. The search always takes the shortest path to the goal node. This principle is used in a bidirectional heuristic search. The only difference being the two simultaneous searches from the initial point and from goal vertex. The main idea behind bidirectional searches is to reduce the time taken for search drastically.
This happens when both searches happen simultaneously from the initial node depth or breadth-first and backwards from goal nodes intersecting somewhere in between of the graph. Now the path traverses through the initial node through the intersecting point to goal vertex is the shortest path found because of this search. This is the shortest path and found in a fraction of time taken by other search algorithms.
This can be simplified by the following example.
Step 1: Say, A is the initial node and O is the goal node, and H is the intersection node.
Step 2: We will start searching simultaneously from start to goal node and backward from goal to start node.
Step 3: Whenever the forward search and backward search intersect at one node, then the searching stops.
Thus, it is possible when both the Start node and goal node are known and unique, separate from each other. Also, the branching factor is the same for both traversals in the graph. Also, other points to be noted are that bidirectional searches are complete if a breadth-first search is used for both traversals, i.e. for both paths from start node till intersection and from goal node till intersection.
Time and Space complexity of the bidirectional search is represented by O(b^{d/2})
Two main types of bidirectional searches are as follows:
- Front to back or BFEA
- Front to Front or BFFA
1. Front to back or BFEA
In bidirectional Front, to Front Search, two heuristic functions are needed. First is the estimated distance from a node to goal state using forwards search and second, node to start state using reverse action. Here, h is calculated in the algorithm, and it is the heuristic value of the distance between the node n to the root of the opposite search tree s or t. This is the most widely used bidirectional search algorithm of the three types.
2. Front to Front or BFFA
Here the distance of all nodes is calculated, and h is calculated as the minimum of all heuristic distances from the current node to nodes on opposing fronts.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Bidirectional Search
Given below are the advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages
Below are the advantages:
- One of the main advantages of bidirectional searches is the speed at which we get the desired results.
- It drastically reduces the time taken by the search by having simultaneous searches.
- It also saves resources for users as it requires less memory capacity to store all the searches.
Disadvantages
Below are the disadvantages:
- The fundamental issue with bidirectional search is that the user should be aware of the goal state to use bidirectional search and thereby to decrease its use cases drastically.
- The implementation is another challenge as additional code and instructions are needed to implement this algorithm, and also care has to be taken as each node and step to implement such searches.
- The algorithm must be robust enough to understand the intersection when the search should come to an end or else there’s a possibility of an infinite loop.
- It is also not possible to search backwards through all states.
Conclusion
Although it has several drawbacks, a bidirectional search is the most efficient and fastest way to get to desired search results when the goal state is known before the search begins and therefore one of the most widely used and researches search algorithms available. Anyone looking to make a career in ‘Search’ of the Database management system should have a working knowledge of all search algorithms, and bidirectional is the most unique and sought-after algorithms.

nng_pipe_notify(3)
NAME
nng_pipe_notify - register pipe notification callback
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The
nng_pipe_notify() function registers the callback function cb
to be called whenever a pipe the pipe event specified by
ev occurs on the socket s.
The callback cb will be passed arg as its final argument.
A different callback may be supplied for each event. Each event may have at most one callback registered. Registering a callback implicitly unregisters any previously registered.
The following pipe events are supported:
NNG_PIPE_EV_ADD_PRE
This event occurs after a connection and negotiation has completed, but before the pipe is added to the socket. If the pipe is closed (using
nng_pipe_close()) at this point, the socket will never see the pipe, and no further events will occur for the given pipe.
NNG_PIPE_EV_ADD_POST
This event occurs after the pipe is fully added to the socket. Prior to this time, it is not possible to communicate over the pipe with the socket.
NNG_PIPE_EV_REM_POST
This event occurs after the pipe has been removed from the socket. The underlying transport may be closed at this point, and it is not possible communicate using this pipe.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise. | https://nng.nanomsg.org/man/tip/nng_pipe_notify.3.html | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | refinedweb | 223 | 53.1 |
Hi,:
- A customer has seen some critical data go missing.
- That data was replicated via the File Replication Service (FRS) or the Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) Service.
- Before they restore the data with their backup copy, they want to have root cause on who deleted what and where it started. We can’t do this after restoring data because our whole audit trail will of course be destroyed within the respective JET databases..
- For this example we have three servers called 2003SRV13, 2003SRV16, and 2003SRV17.
- We have a folder called c:\frstestlink\importantfolder13 that has been deleted.
- It contained a file called c:\frstestlink\importantfolder13\importantfile13.doc which was deleted (naturally). Our folder could contain thousands of files but we just need to know one. That’s easy, someone is screaming at you that it’s missing. 🙂
Install on any server that participated in the FRS content set where data was deleted.
Open a CMD prompt and navigate to the FRSDIAG directory. This will default
computer = talk to the NtFrs service on this machine.
ntfrsutl ds [computer]
= list the service’s view of the DS
computer = talk to the NtFrs service on this machine.
ntfrsutl sets [computer]
= list the active replica sets
computer = talk to the NtFrs service on this machine.
ntfrsutl version [computer]
= list the api and service versions
computer =
NTFRSUTL IDTABLE > idtable.txt
(Note: the output from NTFRSUTL IDTABLE is not the same as collecting IDTABLE information with FRSDIAG’s GUI console).
We then start FRSDIAG and click the ‘Browse’ button. Drop down the Replica Set and select the one that contained deleted data. Click ‘Add All’ to add the members. Then click ok.
Click ‘Tools’ then select ‘Build GUID2Name for Target Server(s)‘.
This will create us a text file that lists out GUID and its associated SERVER NAME, like so:

Hi, Ned again. Today I’d like to talk about troubleshooting DFS Replication (i.e. the DFSR service
Hello,
Very good stuff! 🙂
I had an issue where the Policies and Scripts folders are morphed as this:
Policies.
Policies_NTFRS_XXXXXX.
Scripts.
Scripts_NTFRS_XXXXX.
These morphed folders appeared at the same time an administrator that did an authoritative restore of an OU.
We wantsto have proofs. Is there a wayto know the "Where, When" those morphed folders appeared, and if possible who did it.
Is there a Tag, in the idtable or elsewhere, that corresponds to a restoration of those morphed folders ?
Thx for your input.

Hi,
The steps are pretty much identical as above except that you don’t care about the FLAGS being set to deleted. There’s nothing marking them as morphed bu the name, and you have that piece.
An auth restore of an OU would not be able to cause this issue though – it would have no effect on FRS. But if someone was using GPMC incorrectly (KB929266) or if they set a D4 burflag as part of their steps without setting D2 downstream (Kb315457) it would be very possible that the issue happened at roughly the same time.
Hello,
Thx for your input. I saw endded the Policies and Scripts morphed folders in the idtable. They refer to a DC.
It seems that if you ticked in the "When restoring replicated data sets, mark the restored data as the primary data for all replicat sets" on the Advanced Retore Options dialog box of the ntbackup Restore tab, this can generate also name-morph conflicts with one set of directory trees having the normal name and the other set having the morphed folders.
Cheers,
Yann
Hi Ned,
Do you know what flag 6 is when looking at these logs? Is there a table or something I could look at?
Can you post that entry for me? I was reviewing source code to see, but FLAGS is used a lot to mean a lot of things.
Hi Ned. We are seeing this flag also when querying DfsrIdRecordInfo. Can’t seem to find any info on these flags other than what is in the table above. Very strange to see a 6 !

Hi,
A 6 would be name conflict on a previously advertised file. I haven’t really investigated that flag scenario though, but I expect there would be debug logs data showing that file had won a conflict at some point.

Right now I'm working on a GUI project, where I'm trying to take photos, found from the URLs I find from inside the source code of a website, and load them into my JavaFx GUI.
For example, I wish for Java to load the website, and collect all of the "cover photos"/thumbnails that you see as you scroll down the page (no matter the size of the image), and then load them into the GUI view (into an HBox full as a bunch of ImageViews for example).
More in-depth as well, eventually I would like to get it to the point, that the user could click on the image/imageview, and (again for example) it would show show the trailer for the selected movie. (My thinking, is that the trailer link would be found from website, if you clicked through and went to the next page, found the link, went to youtube, and removed all of the content except for the video player necessarily).
In the web-browser that I use, I have access see the page's HTML elements/design, and look through all of the source coding. After just a few twirls, I can easily find the direct URL to the thumbnail/image I'm looking for, and I've found that in javaFX I can load an image into my GUI as a URL, like so:
Image img = new Image("");
ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img);
public HBox listView(){
HBox temp = new HBox();
// Load the website
// Load the source code into a large string.
for (int i=0; i>=<numberOfPhotosPreCalculatedSomeHow>;i++){
Image img = new Image( /*Manipulated string algorithm to find the next image URL*/);
ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img);
ImageView.setOnAction(e -> { /* load the trailer */ }; } // (Lambda)
temp.getChildren().add(ImageView);
}
return temp;
}
Found the answer! There's built-in java methods that can allow me to scan in information from a website, and then decipher it as needed.
In my case, here's the code I used:
import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URL; import java.util.Scanner; public class WebReader { // Class variable to hold our found URLs :) ArrayList<String> listyArray; /** * @author alexnavarro */ public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { // Gather page & URL data, and read it String address = ""; URL pageLocation = new URL(address); Scanner in = new Scanner(pageLocation.openStream()); // Initialize an ArrayList to store all of our collected URLs listyArray = new ArrayList<String>(); // Decipher the code line by line while(in.hasNext()){ String line = in.next(); if (line.contains("href=\"http://")){ int from = line.indexOf("\""); int to = line.lastIndexOf("\""); System.out.println(line.subString(from + 1, to); listyArray.add(line.subString(from + 1, to); } } // Next, we implement into JavaFx launch(args); } @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage){ primaryStage.setTitle("My loaded photos"); // Create a place to put our content HBox content = new HBox(); ScrollPane scrollPane = new ScrollPane(content); scrollPane.setFitToHeight(true); for (int i = 0; i <= listyArray.size() - 1; i++) { Image img = new Image(listyArray.get(i)); ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img); content.getChildren().add(imgView); } // Launch and sail away!! :) Scene s = new Scene(scrollPane, 800, 600); primaryStage.setScene(s); primaryStage.show(); } }
So this was the solution that I was able to find-- I can't believe it took me so long to find a solution, but I hope this helps anybody who is on the same boat that I am. :) | https://codedump.io/share/JIlj1eaaea3U/1/taking-photos-from-a-website-and-loading-them-in-javafx | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | refinedweb | 560 | 62.27 |
Let’s say you want to make a script that creates a PDF of a web page. pdfkit makes that pretty easy. Simply import pdfkit and then call pdfkit.from_url, passing along the source location as your first parameter and the resultant file as your second, as follows, using’s_New_in_This_Release.html as our source and just calling the pdf we create Release_Notes.pdf:
import pdfkit pdfkit.from_url(''s_New_in_This_Release.html', 'Release_Notes.pdf')
Your source location could also be from a standard html file (e.g. if you’re running from your site location) and for those you’d use pdfkit.from_file instead of pdfkit.from_url. If you don’t have pdfkit installed, you might need to pip it first:
pip install pdfkit
One last note, you can also change a few options you can pass pdfkit for job processing: page-size, margin-top, margin-left, margin-right, and margin-bottom:
import pdfkit myoptions = { 'page-size': 'A4', 'margin-top': '1in', 'margin-left': '1in', 'margin-right': '1in', 'margin-bottom': '1in', } pdfkit.from_url(''s_New_in_This_Release.html', 'Release_Notes.pdf',options=myoptions)
When I’ve used options, things always seem to take a long time and a lot more resources to run, so I don’t any more. But that’s just me… | http://krypted.com/tag/pdfkit/ | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | refinedweb | 206 | 65.42 |

Introduction Migration Case Study Migrating the VBA Solution Conclusion Resources
For years, developers have used Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to build Microsoft Office solutions. VBA has proven to be a reliable and capable development environment for individuals and in corporate teams. In recent times, many developers have noticed that demands placed on their solutions have exceeded the abilities of VBA and so we are beginning to see the transition from VBA to the professional development environment of the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, and Microsoft Office 2003.
How are organizations benefiting from these new technologies? First, the .NET Framework provides an extensive class library of scalable, reliable, and secure components that can be used for developing Web applications, Web services, Windows applications, and component libraries. Second, developers know that millions of people use Microsoft Office daily and that it is an ideal environment to reach users with enterprise solutions. Add Visual Studio Tools for Office to the mix, and you have the tools to successfully build an enterprise-ready .NET solution with a Microsoft Office Word or a Microsoft Office Excel document-based solution.
Once an organization has made the strategic decision to standardize on the .NET Framework and Microsoft Office 2003, questions are often raised about the effort to migrate existing VBA solutions to Visual Studio Tools for Office. For example, is it possible to migrate a VBA solution to Visual Studio Tools for Office? How much effort will it require? What issues are encountered during migration? What techniques exist to minimize migration effort?
This article addresses these questions and explores the process and techniques needed to migrate an existing Microsoft Office Word VBA solution to a Visual Studio Tools for Office solution. This article also provides guidance on best practices and includes pointers to useful migration-related developer resources.
Please note that although this article presents a Microsoft Office Word-based example, many of the ideas and techniques presented in this article also hold true for issues faced when migrating an Microsoft Office Excel VBA solution.
To discuss migration, it is helpful to have a sample project as a basis for this discussion. For that reason, I will profile the fictitious company Trey Research. Trey Research is a wholesale supplier and distributor of products normally sold in retail pharmacies. Their legal department has over 50 Microsoft Word 2002 and Microsoft Excel 2002 templates that they use regularly for corporate communications and contract agreements with vendors, suppliers, and retailers.
VBA automation is used to simplify the document creation and maintenance of Trey Research templates. These template solutions often collect information from a user, connect to a database, and provide reusable content based on document context.
This article discusses the migration of a template that reflects a common set of functions used by most of the legal department's templates. It is an ideal candidate for understanding the migration challenges for other templates. The template is the Supply and Service Agreement.
The VBA version of the Supply and Service Agreement works in Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003.
To simplify the terminology in this paper, I use the term "VBA solution" for the original template being migrated and "Visual Studio Tools for Office solution" for the new version of the migrated template.
The Supply and Service Agreement helps the legal department in creating contracts for new retailers who want to sell Trey Research products. To follow along in using this template, download the sample code accompanying this article and extract the sample files to your local hard drive. Open the SupplyContractVBA.dot template in the VBA Solution directory included in the sample files. When the SupplyContractVBA.dot template opens, the form shown in Figure 1 is presented.
Figure 1. Form as completed by the user
This form simplifies collecting reseller and agreement information. The reseller's address and contact information is retrieved from the legal department's reseller tracking database using ADO for data access. When the user completes the form, the information in the form is pushed into document bookmarks and document variables. Bookmarks are a common way to tag data displayed in a Word document. Document variables, on the other hand, are not visible to the user and are ideal for storing information in a document that should only be changed by the business logic code of the solution. Figure 2 shows Page 1 of the new document with the customer information inserted into the document.
Figure 2. New document
Now the document is ready for normal editing. The template user modifies the legal text of this document. The editing task is simplified with the aid of a custom toolbar (see Figure 3) that is a part of the template. By using the toolbar, you can:
Figure 3. Custom toolbar
The boilerplate text contains frequently used contract text that can be easily inserted into the document. The boilerplate text is stored in individual Word documents stored on a network share. When the user selects contract text from the toolbar drop-down list and clicks the Insert button, the document fragment stored on the network share is inserted into the current cursor location of the active document.
When the user has completed editing the agreement, the Finalize button of the toolbar is clicked. The Finalize step marks the document as complete and records the location and document tracking number in the reseller tracking database. The custom toolbar is now removed and the document is protected so that it cannot be edited.
Now that you understand the business model of Trey Research and the Supply and Service Agreement template, let's move on to migrating the solution. First, it's important to have the goal for this migration clearly in mind. There are two approaches you can take:
In this approach, you focus on minimizing the work to get the VBA solution working in Visual Studio Tools for Office. The goal of the minimal effort approach is to focus on the language differences of VBA and Visual Basic .NET with the intent of not changing any code unless absolutely necessary.
Another approach is to rearchitect the solution to take advantage of new features of Office 2003 and the .NET Framework. This requires more planning, testing, and writing of new code. This approach, rearchitecting presents an opportunity to rethink a solution and add extra business value through new functionality and better integration with other enterprise systems, as well as improve code maintainability.
The following table summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
Table 1. Migration Approach Comparison
Uses existing work from VBA solution
Reduced testing requirements of business logic
Net result: minimum effort and cost to get solution running quickly
Does not use .NET Framework (for example, ADO.NET and other class libraries, object oriented programming)
Dependent on old external libraries (for example, ADO, File System objects, Win32 API calls)
Allows tight integration with enterprise servers
Improves maintainability using .NET design best practices over VBA techniques
Requires increased testing for new code and business logic
Requires more effort and cost
Looking back at the business scenario, you find that Trey Research has decided to move all their VBA solutions to Visual Studio Tools for Office to gain the benefits of the .NET Framework. In the future, Trey Research plans to rearchitect the entire solution to take advantage of the new abilities of the .NET Framework and the release of Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005. A future article will discuss the rearchitecture of this template. For now, let's get the original VBA solution working within the .NET Framework.
Trey Research has chosen the minimal effort approach. You are tasked to migrate the VBA solution and to only do the work absolutely necessary to get the template working within the .NET Framework.
Before migrating the code, it is important to have an idea of the structure of the existing VBA solution and all its dependencies. Start by inventorying the components that make up a VBA solution. The following table summarizes the components of the VBA solution and its dependencies. If you want to follow along in the sample code, open the SupplyContractVBA.dot file in Word and open the Visual Basic Editor.
Table 2. VBA Solution Structure
File System Object
After inventorying the components of the VBA solution, consider the following questions:
After evaluating the answers to these questions, it becomes clear in which order the components should be migrated. You will also have a clear idea about the effort involved and which components will need the most attention.
Now that you have your migration goals clearly in mind and have assessed the scope of the work, you can begin the physical migration process. For the rest of this section, you will look at the steps I took to migrate the VBA solution to a Visual Studio Tools for Office solution. To follow along as I migrate the original VBA solution, in Word, open the SupplyContractVSTO.dot template in the VSTO Solution directory included in the sample files. Also open the Visual Studio solution file SupplyContract.sln in the VSTO Solution\SupplyContract directory.
First, the original template document must be prepared for migration. I made a copy of the SupplyContractVBA.dot and named it SupplyContractVSTO.dot. As it is likely you will have the original template and new template open in Word during the migration process, having a unique name for the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution helps avoid confusion about which document is being edited.
After copying the old template, I stripped out the old VBA solution code from SupplyContractVSTO.dot. This involved opening the new SupplyContractVSTO.dot document in Word and then, using the Visual Basic Editor, deleting all the modules, forms, and classes embedded in the document. The end result is a Word template with no embedded VBA.
Next, I created a Visual Studio Tools for Office project for my solution using the Microsoft Office Project Wizard found in Visual Studio. The Microsoft Office Project Wizard supports three solution types: Excel Workbook, Word Document, and Word Template. I selected Word Template, as it simplifies the process of creating an environment designed for Word templates.
Note It is important to specify the Word Template project type when migrating a template, as it contains the proper events in ThisDocument.cs. If a Word Document project type is selected, it does not include the ThisDocument_New event handler that you need to detect when a new instance of the template is created.
The Microsoft Office Project Wizard can produce source code in the Visual Basic and C# languages. Because VBA and Visual Basic are similar in syntax and lessen code changes, I selected the Visual Basic .NET version of the wizard.
The wizard asks if you want to create a blank template or use an existing template. For this solution, I selected Use existing document and specified the SupplyContractVSTO.dot file (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. The Microsoft Office Project Wizard
After clicking the Finish button in the wizard, it creates a new Visual Studio project that contains:
It also creates a ThisDocument.cs class file that mimics the ThisDocument class in a VBA project.
Now that I have a new project to work with, I want to configure the project with various global settings. First, because the VBA solution relies on ADO version 2.5 for data access, I need to add a reference to this library.
To add the ADO 2.5 Library in Visual Studio .NET
The Add Reference dialog box appears.
A new reference named ADODB is listed under the References node in the Solution Explorer.
Next, there are a number of frequently used libraries referenced in the project. Usually you use the Imports statement with the referenced libraries' namespace at the top of each code file to specify which class libraries are used. This project's source files use several common references and require the Imports statement to be used in each source file. To save time, Visual Basic .NET allows you to define project-level Imports used by every source file in the project.
To Add Project Level Imports in Visual Studio .NET
The project's Property Pages dialog box appears.
Figure 5. The Property Pages dialog box
This little technique is amazingly helpful for future migration steps when I bring in each VBA component. It saves me from having to figure out which namespaces the VBA component is dependent on as well as from having to defining the Imports statement at the top of the new code modules.
The Visual Studio Tools for Office solution contains a module named ThisDocument.vb. ThisDocument.vb corresponds to the VBA ThisDocument module. In VBA, ThisDocument allows you to capture the following events:
This event fires when a new document is created based on the template.
This event fires when an existing document based on the template is opened.
This event fires when the document based on the template is being closed.
The ThisDocument.vb module in the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution plays a similar role and causes ThisDocument_New and ThisDocument_Open to correspond with the VBA Document_New, and Document_Open events.
The code from the VBA ThisDocument class is copied into ThisDocument.vb. A few other changes are also made to ThisDocument.vb. For example, the toggleActiveXControls variable is changed from False to True, signaling that the solution has ActiveX controls in the document. Also, a new function is added called HookGlobalObjects. HookGlobalObjects is used to set up several global objects needed by the solution. These global objects are discussed in the next section.
Note When you migrate a template-based solution, it is a good idea to create a new document based on the template and to save it to disk for testing during the migration process. Because the ThisDocument_Open event only fires when an existing document is opened, it's convenient to have an existing document available for testing the ThisDocument_Open event.
When developing in the Word VBA environment, you are provided access to several global objects without having to declare them for use. For example:
For convenience, VBA developers often use these global objects. However, these global objects are not available directly in Visual Studio Tools for Office solutions unless they are declared. Any VBA code in your solution dependent on these global objects fails to compile until the global objects are explicitly declared in the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution. For this Visual Studio Tools for Office solution, I created a module in Visual Studio .NET called basDocumentGlobals.vb. In the following code, I define the global objects needed by the solution.
Public CurrentDocument As Document
Public WithEvents optMail As Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.OptionButton
Public WithEvents optEmail As Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.OptionButton
Public WithEvents optFax As Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.OptionButton
Public WithEvents optCustomerPickup As _
Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.OptionButton
The global objects in basDocumentGlobals.vb need to be set when a document is opened; this is done from the events in the ThisDocument.vb module using the ThisDocument_New and the ThisDocument_Open events. The HookGlobalObjects method of the ThisDocument module sets the Global objects:
Private Sub HookGlobalObjects()
CurrentDocument = ThisDocument
optMail = FindControl("optMail")
optFax = FindControl("optFax")
optEmail = FindControl("optEmail")
optCustomerPickup = FindControl("optCustomerPickup")
End Sub
In basDocumentGlobals.vb, I declare a variable called CurrentDocument that holds a pointer to the document to substitute where the original VBA code referred to the ActiveDocument object. I could have made a variable called ActiveDocument instead of CurrentDocument and all the code dependent on ActiveDocument would not need to be changed. I decided that it would be good to have a new name for the object, to avoid confusion with the ActiveDocument object provided in the Word object model. With CurrentDocument defined, it is simple to use the Visual Studio Find and Replace feature to replace all instances of "ActiveDocument" with "CurrentDocument".
I also created global objects for each ActiveX control used in the document in basDocumentGlobals.vb. These ActiveX controls are declared with the WithEvents keyword so you can capture the click events of these controls. This is different from VBA, where controls are automatically hooked to their events for you. Because the ActiveX controls need WithEvents to capture the events, I moved the original code behind the ActiveX controls from the VBA ThisDocument module into my new Visual Studio Tools for Office basDocumentGlobals.vb module.
Setting a reference to ActiveX controls embedded into a document can be tricky. The Visual Studio Tools for Office solution created by the Microsoft Office Project Wizard includes a utility function called FindControl(), which, when given a control name as a parameter, does all the work of binding a variable to the ActiveX control.
Now basDocumentGlobals.vb centralizes all the global object logic into one module, and these global objects become available to all modules in the project.
Next, migrate the shared components used in the template. The two shared components are basUtils and clsDAL. Let's first look at basUtils.
To migrate a component, you first have to create a new module in the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution and then copy and paste the original VBA code into the new module. This task is required for each component in your solution.
Add a New Item from Visual Studio .NET
The Add New Item dialog box appears with a module item selected.
A new module is added to the solution.
Now that you have a new module, open the basUtils module in the VBA project and select all the code. Then copy the code from basUtils and paste it into the new module that was created in Visual Studio.
As you start copying and pasting code from VBA to the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution, it is nice to discover that the VBA code and the Visual Basic .NET code are fairly compatible. For the most part, the pasted VBA code often requires little, if any, change. This is not to say that migrating code is as simple as copy and paste. It's not. But if you are aware of a number of the subtle differences between VBA and Visual Basic .NET, the copied code is easy to fix.
Where you can run into migration challenges is where the VBA code calls out to external libraries. For example, the VBA basUtils module makes WIN 32 API call to GetUserName. GetUserName is not a VBA function, it is a function call provided by Microsoft Windows to get the name of the user currently logged into the computer. The syntax for making WIN 32 API calls is different in Visual Basic .NET. For example, in VBA you declare the WIN 32 API call using the following code:
Declare Function GetUserName& Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long)
In Visual Basic .NET, the API call is declared using the DLLImport function attribute:
<DllImport("advapi32.dll")> _
Public Function GetUserName(ByVal lpBuffer As StringBuilder, _
ByRef nSize As Integer) As Integer
End Function
For more information on converting WIN 32 API calls, see the Visual Basic Language Reference subject Walkthrough: Calling Windows APIs in the Microsoft MSDN Library.
One of the great things about the .NET Framework is that it provides a lot more Windows functionality for free than VBA did. For example in this case you could have used System.Environment.UserName instead of calling the WIN 32 API. However, there may still be cases where you need to call external libraries in .NET, and doing the exercise of trying it here is a great way to see how to do it.
Our VBA solution includes a class module called clsDAL. The shared component clsDAL manages access to the remote reseller database used by Trey Research. Just as you did with basUtils, you need to create a new class module in your Visual Studio Tools for Office solution and name it clsDAL. Then copy and paste the VBA code from clsDAL to the new clsDAL module in the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution.
One thing I like about copying VBA code and pasting it into the Visual Basic .NET Editor, is that Visual Basic .NET is smart enough to update some of my VBA code to the new syntax of Visual Basic .NET. For example, the VBA solution uses the Set keyword often when creating objects. Consider the following VBA code:
Set mConn = New ADODB.Connection
The Visual Basic .NET editor automatically updates the code to:
mConn = New ADODB.Connection
This added convenience saves time during migration and cleans up some of the code to use the new Visual Basic .NET syntax.
To retrieve and insert data into the reseller database, clsDAL uses ADO 2.5. The good news is that all the ADO code works without any change (earlier, you set a reference to the ADO 2.5 COM library).
What do have to be changed are the VBA methods Class_Initialize and Class_Terminate. Class_Initalize is first called when a VBA class is created and is now replaced with the New() method in Visual Basic .NET. Class_Terminate is called when the VBA class is shutting down and is now Finalize() in Visual Basic .NET. All I had to do was copy the code from Class_Initialize to New() and the code from Class_Terminate to Finalize().
Note You may have noticed that I like to use the same VBA component names in my migrated Visual Studio Tools for Office solution. For example the old data access layer class was named clsDAL and the new Visual Studio Tools for Office class module is also named clsDAL. Even though the VBA code uses the old-style Hungarian notation for object and variable names, a convention not encouraged when writing .NET code, I prefer to keep the object and variable names the same. It helps reduce confusion as I switch back and forth between the old VBA and new Visual Studio Tools for Office code. Again, the goal is to minimize effort and not rearchitect the solution.
The most challenging aspect of migrating the VBA solution to Visual Studio Tools for Office is the VBA UserForm (shown in Figure 1). The VBA UserForm engine is not compatible with .NET Windows Forms and so the form has to be manually rebuilt in Visual Studio .NET using the WinForm designer. Recreating a form is a time-consuming process, as each control and its settings have to be duplicated.
On the up side, because you had to convert the form manually, it gave you an opportunity to take advantage of the great controls that are included in the .NET Framework. For example, the .NET Framework includes a DateTimePicker control. This control provides a drop-down calendar so the user can easily browse a calendar for a date. The DateTimePicker also provides date and time validation, eliminating the date validation code of the old VBA solution. Not only did this save some time, but it reduced the amount of code you have to maintain. I was able to get rid of three VBA functions in the UserForm: FormatAsDate, txtAgreementDate_AfterUpdate, and txtPrepDate_AfterUpdate.
The VBA form has a method called UserForm_Initialize that is called when the form is first opened. UserForm_Initialize is not supported in the .NET Windows Form, therefore the UserForm_Initialize code has to be copied into the frmMain_Load event of the new Windows Form.
The form has a combo box control that is used for selecting a customer. The list of customers in the combo box is initialized in the UserForm_Initialize method. In VBA, the combo box control makes this easy to do through data binding an ADO Recordset to the control. The following code shows how this is done:
Dim rsCustomers As Recordset
Set rsCustomers = mData.GetActiveCustomerList
cboSelectClient.Column = rsCustomers.GetRows
Unfortunately, the Windows Form controls do not support binding to ADO Recordsets. At first I thought I'd have to write new code to walk through the Recordset and write the records to the combo box. Then I discovered that it is possible to convert a Recordset to an ADO.NET DataSet object and the DataSet can be bound to the Windows Form combo box control.
Dim rsCustomers As Recordset
rsCustomers = mData.GetActiveCustomerList
Dim da As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, rsCustomers, "ActiveClients")
cboSelectClient.DataSource = ds.Tables("ActiveClients")
cboSelectClient.DisplayMember = "CompanyName"
cboSelectClient.ValueMember = "ClientID"
The code creates the ADO Recordset and stores it in rsCustomers. Then you create a DataSet object and push the rsCustomers Recordset into the DataSet with the DataAdapter.Fill method. From there, you can bind the DataSet to the Windows Form combo box. This technique requires a few more lines of code than the original VBA, but the approach still requires less code than manually walking each record in the ADO Recordset and populating the combo box. For more information on converting ADO Recordsets to ADO.NET DataSets, see the resource section at the end of this article.
Another difference between VBA UserForms and Visual Studio Tools for Office WinForms is in the properties and methods supported by the Windows Form controls. For example, if a user has not selected a customer when they try to complete the form in the VBA form, it does not close and opens the Select Customer combo box with the following code:
cboSelectClient.SetFocus
cboSelectClient.DropDown
The .NET combo box does not support these methods and had to be converted:
cboSelectClient.Focus()
cboSelectClient.DroppedDown = True
As you can see, the code is fairly similar, but the old VBA code won't compile and has to be changed. This was not an issue though, as the .NET controls in all cases were able to match the functionality of VBA controls, and in most cases the .NET controls were more powerful. In just a few minutes of using the Visual Studio editor's IntelliSense I was able to locate the .NET combo box methods and properties I needed. After the UserForm was converted to a Windows Form, it looks almost identical to the original. Figure 6 shows the converted Windows Form with the DateTimePicker control in action.
Figure 6. Converted Windows Form showing the DateTimePicker control
To wrap up the work on the form, there is a supporting module named basFormData that needs to be migrated. basFormData takes the information gathered in the form and populates it into the document bookmarks and variables. I created a new module named basFormData.vb and copied and pasted the original VBA code into the new module.
I then compiled the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution, and there were no errors. I even ran the project and it looked like everything was working. However, this module was a good reminder that it is important to thoroughly test migrated code, even if it compiles without an error. It wasn't immediately visible, but while testing the migrated solution, I spotted a subtle error in the code: the VBA Solution used the VBA Format() function to format the date fields inserted into the document.
Format(<<Date Value Here>>, "mmmm dd, yyyy")
I discovered that the Visual Basic .NET version of the format function required using uppercase MMMM for the month formatting to display correctly, as shown in the next line of code:
Format(<<Date Value Here>>, "MMMM dd, yyyy")
After making this small change, the Visual Basic .NET format function worked as expected. Again, this is a good reminder to verify the results of the migrated code even if it compiles.
The final component to migrate is the basToolbar module. The basToolbar contains the code that creates the template's CommandBar (see Figure 3). Once again, I created a new module and named it basToolbar.vb. I then copied and pasted the original code from the VBA solution into my new module.
I was able to reuse almost all of the code from the VBA solution, although a few changes were needed. First, I had to add the following module level CommandBarButton variables to basToolbar.vb:
Private WithEvents cbFormEdit As CommandBarButton
Private WithEvents cbInsertButton As CommandBarButton
Private WithEvents cbFinalizeButton As CommandBarButton
The CommandBarButton objects are declared using the WithEvents keyword so the button events can be captured. This is a key difference in how VBA and the .NET Framework handle CommandBars. In VBA, when creating a CommandBar, you specify the public function that is to be called when the user clicks the button through the OnAction property. For example, the VBA solution contains the following code:
Set cbFormEdit = cbar.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
With cbFormEdit
.BeginGroup = True
.Tag = "WizardEdit"
.OnAction = "RunWizardAgain"
.FaceId = 1099
.Caption = "Edit Info"
.TooltipText = "Edit the contract information"
.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow
End With
I changed this code to:
cbFormEdit = cbar.Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlButton)
With cbFormEdit
.BeginGroup = True
.Tag = "WizardEdit"
.FaceId = 1099
.Caption = "Edit Info"
.TooltipText = "Edit the contract information"
.Style = MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow
End With
There are two key differences. First, the VBA code creates a CommandBarButton and assigns it to the variable cbFormEdit. Notice that the VBA code has the OnAction property set to "RunWizardAgain". When a user clicks this cbFormEdit button, Word searches the underlying VBA for a public function named RunWizardAgain. In the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution, you use the .NET approach to capturing control events using WithEvents and specifying which function handles the click event of the button using the Handles keyword. I removed the OnAction property assignment from the migrated code and changed the original VBA function RunFromWizard() to:
"
".
Private Sub cbFormEdit_Click(ByVal Ctrl As CommandBarButton,_
ByRef CancelDefault As Boolean) Handles cbFormEdit.Click
When the user clicks the Edit Info button on the toolbar, .NET calls this function. I had to make the same changes to the other two buttons used in this solution's CommandBar.
The second difference in the CommandBarButton code is in how I set the style property to msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow. The enumeration msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow is built into the Office CommandBar type library that defines the way a button should appear. This enumeration is also available in the Visual Studio Tools for Office solution; however the full namespace path to the enumeration must be included. With this button, the full namespace path is MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow.
Most of the modules migrated up to this point have included enumeration to referenced type libraries and often require that the full namespace path be used. In your own migration effort, keep in mind that if a property or method set with an enumeration fails to compile, it is likely that you do not have its namespace path fully qualified. If you don't know the full namespace path of an enumeration that won't compile, open the Visual Studio Object Browser and search on the name of the failing enumeration. The Object Browser returns all constant names and their full namespace path that match your search.
During the migration, I encountered several common issues. Just about every component that was copied and pasted into a new module required attention to these issues. Here are some to keep an eye out for.
All the components in the VBA solutions used Option Explicit. When Option Explicit appears in a module, you must explicitly declare all variables using the Dim, Private, Public, ReDim, or Static statements. If you attempt to use an undeclared variable name, an error occurs at compile time. If the Option Explicit statement is not used, all undeclared variables are of Variant type unless the default type is otherwise specified
By default, Visual Basic .NET is configured to use Option Explicit at a project level. Therefore the Option Explicit statement is not needed in the migrated code.
VBA objects and controls support the notion of a default property. If you try to get or set the value of an object or control without specifying the property you are trying to access, VBA assumes you are trying to access the default property. Visual Basic .NET, on the other hand, requires that each property you access be explicitly defined. For example, in the VBA solution, the value in the text box on the form (see Figure 1) was set using the following line of code:
Form.txtAgreementDate = "4/4/2004"
This line of code won't compile in Visual Basic .NET and has to be changed to explicitly state that the Value property should be accessed:
Form.txtAgreementDate.Value = "4/4/2004"
As a developer, I prefer the Visual Basic .NET approach. The Visual Basic .NET convention makes the code self-documenting in that it is clear about what I was changing in the object. Even so, VBA makes it easy to use the default property and you are likely to find a number of VBA objects and controls that must be changed to specify the property being accessed.
Error handling was one area I expected problems, as the VBA solution uses the old Visual Basic error handling syntax. This includes On Error Goto LABEL, On Error Goto 0 and Error Resume Next. To my surprise, the Visual Basic .NET language supports this old style of error handling and compiled just fine.
One thing I discovered during this migration is that you cannot mix the old On Error Goto Visual Basic syntax with the new Visual Basic .NET Try/Catch Error handling syntax in the same function. Your code will not compile if you try to combine these two forms of error handling. If you find that you need to modify the error handling in a routine, it is probably worth the effort to migrate the code to the Try/Catch handling syntax.
In the migration of this solution, the SendKeys command was the only VBA function not supported by Visual Basic .NET. SendKeys sends one or more keystrokes to the active window as if typed at the keyboard.
The VBA solution opens the drop-down list of Contract Text in the solutions CommandBar. Unfortunately the combo box control does not provide a method to open the list. The VBA solution mimics this functionality by selecting the control and then using SendKeys to press the DOWN ARROW key, which opens the list box:
cbCombo.SetFocus
SendKeys "{Down}"
I discovered that some of the old functions available in Word are still exposed through the WordBasic object. WordBasic returns an Automation object (Word.Basic) that includes methods for all the WordBasic statements and functions available in Word version 6.0 and Word for Windows 95. Is this a great solution? No. But it works and allows me to reach my goal of minimizing the effort required to get the solution working. I resolved this problem with the following line of code:
CurrentDocument.Application.WordBasic.SendKeys("{Down}")
The solution is now complete. All that remains is compiling the final project and running the solution through quality assurance. As the goal was to minimize the migration effort, the way the migrated solution is used by the user has not changed. The user continues to use the solution in the same way they did with the original VBA version.
Migrating a VBA solution to Visual Studio Tools for Office can be simplified with good planning, an understanding of the original VBA solution, and a familiarity with the language differences between VBA and Visual Basic .NET.
Happy programming!
Before migrating a VBA solution, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the following reference material:

Oops - I guess I may have posted this too soon, on reading a little closer I
notice that the docs say:

Hi Ian I think I have this thing lying around as well: On 27 Jun 2007, at 02:26, Ian Lynagh wrote: > dropPrefix :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Maybe [a] > dropPrefix [] ys = Just ys > dropPrefix (x:xs) (y:ys) > | x == y = dropPrefix xs ys > dropPrefix _ _ = Nothing But while I was grepping for it, I found I had written something slightly different. Recalling that Monoid w makes Applicative ((,) w), I have leftFactor :: Eq x => [x] -> [x] -> ([x], ([x], [x])) leftFactor (x : xs) (y : ys) | x == y = ([x], ()) *> leftFactor xs ys leftFactor xs ys = pure (xs, ys) Properties: if leftFactor xs ys = (zs, (xs', ys')) then zs is the longest list such that xs == zs ++ xs' ys == zs ++ ys' You get dropPrefix cheaply dropPrefix :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Maybe [a] dropPrefix xs ys | (_, ([], zs)) <- leftFactor xs ys = Just zs | otherwise = Nothing but I also use it to do "common ancestor" calculations on hierarchical namespaces. Indeed, I have in the past used this thing on paths/contexts to determine whether two subterms of a given term were nested or not. A more frivolous usage is this variation on an ancient program: gcdList :: Eq x => [x] -> [x] -> Maybe [x] gcdList xs ys = case leftFactor xs ys of (_, ([], [])) -> Just xs (_, ([], zs)) -> gcdList xs zs (_, (zs, [])) -> gcdList zs ys _ -> Nothing gcdList xs ys calculates the largest zs such that xs == [1..m] >> zs and ys == [1..n] >> zs if any such exists. I was wondering what solutions there might be to xs ++ ys == ys ++ xs when out it popped! But I digress. It could well be that dropPrefix is much the more common, and hence that extra fuss required to get it from leftFactor isn't worth it, but I thought I'd punt out the possibility. As for whether these things should return in Maybe, or some arbitrary MonadPlus m, well, that seems like one instance of a wider question. We surely need a consistent policy here: do we target the specific *minimal* notion of computation supporting whatever it is (in this case, failure), or attempt to abstract an *arbitrary* such. If the latter, one should, of course, ask if Monad is too specific... Now I come to think about it, I quite like the minimal approach. It keeps the individual operations as simple as possible, and it pulls out the Maybe -> whatever homomorphism as a largest left factor. Or something.

6.2. Structures
Arrays allow for a named collection of identical objects. This is suitable for a number of tasks, but isn't really very flexible. Most real data objects are complicated things with an inherent structure that does not fit well on to array style storage. Let's use a concrete example.
Imagine that the job is something to do with a typesetting package. In this system, the individual characters have not only their character values but also some additional attributes like font and point size. The font doesn't affect the character as such, but only the way that it is displayed: this is the normal font, this is in italics and this is in bold font. Point size is similar. It describes the size of the characters when they are printed. For example, the point size of this text increases now. It goes back again now. If our characters have three independent attributes, how can they be represented in a single object?
With C it's easy. First work out how to represent the individual
attributes in the basic types. Let's assume that we can still store the
character itself in a char, that the font can be encoded into
a
short (1 for regular, 2 italic, 3 bold etc.) and that the
point size will also fit a short. These are all quite reasonable
assumptions. Most systems only support a few tens of fonts even if they are
very sophisticated, and point sizes are normally in the range 6 to the small
hundreds. Below 6 is almost invisible, above 50 is bigger than the biggest
newspaper banner headlines. So we have a char and two shorts that are to be
treated as a single entity. Here's how to declare it in C.
struct wp_char{ char wp_cval; short wp_font; short wp_psize; };
That effectively declares a new type of object which can be used in your
program. The whole thing is introduced by the
struct keyword,
which is followed by an optional identifier known as the
tag,
wp_char in this case. The tag only serves the purpose of giving
a name to this type of structure and allows us to refer to the type later
on. After a declaration like the one just seen, the tag can be used like
this:
struct wp_char x, y;
That defines two variables called
x and
y just
as it would have done if the definition had been
int x, y;
but of course in the first example the variables are of type
struct
wp_char, and in the second their type is
int. The tag is
a name for the new type that we have introduced.
It's worth remembering that structure tags can safely be used as ordinary
identifiers as well. They only mean something special when they are preceded
by the keyword
struct. It is quite common to see a structured
object being defined with the same name as its structure tag.
struct wp_char wp_char;
That defines a variable called
wp_char of type
struct
wp_char. This is described by saying that structure tags have their
own ‘name space’ and cannot collide with other names. We'll
investigate tags some more in the discussion of ‘incomplete
types’.
Variables can also be defined immediately following a structure declaration.
struct wp_char{ char wp_cval; short wp_font; short wp_psize; }v1; struct wp_char v2;
We now have two variables,
v1 and
v2. If all the
necessary objects are defined at the end of the structure declaration, the
way that
v1 was, then the tag becomes unneccessary (except if
it is needed later for use with
sizeof and in casts) and is
often not present.
The two variables are structured objects, each containing three separate
members called
wp_cval,
wp_font and
wp_psize. To access the individual members of the structures,
the ‘dot’ operator is used:
v1.wp_cval = 'x'; v1.wp_font = 1; v1.wp_psize = 10; v2 = v1;
The individual members of
v1 are initialized to suitable
values, then the whole of
v1 is copied into
v2 in
an assignment.
In fact the only operation permitted on whole structures is assignment: they can be assigned to each other, passed as arguments to functions and returned by functions. However, it is not a very efficient operation to copy structures and most programs avoid structure copying by manipulating pointers to structures instead. It is generally quicker to copy pointers around than structures. A surprising omission from the language is the facility to compare structures for equality, but there is a good reason for this which will be mentioned shortly.
Here is an example using an array of structures like the one before. A function is used to read characters from the program's standard input and return an appropriately initialized structure. When a newline has been read or the array is full, the structures are sorted into order depending on the character value, and then printed out.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define ARSIZE 10 struct wp_char{ char wp_cval; short wp_font; short wp_psize; }ar[ARSIZE]; /* * type of the input function - * could equally have been declared above; * it returns a structure and takes no arguments. */ struct wp_char infun(void); main(){ int icount, lo_indx, hi_indx; for(icount = 0; icount < ARSIZE; icount++){ ar[icount] = infun(); if(ar[icount].wp_cval == '\n'){ /* * Leave the loop. * not incrementing icount means that the * '\n' is ignored in the sort */ break; } } /* now a simple exchange sort */ for(lo_indx = 0; lo_indx <= icount-2; lo_indx++) for(hi_indx = lo_indx+1; hi_indx <= icount-1; hi_indx++){ if(ar[lo_indx].wp_cval > ar[hi_indx].wp_cval){ /* * Swap the two structures. */ struct wp_char wp_tmp = ar[lo_indx]; ar[lo_indx] = ar[hi_indx]; ar[hi_indx] = wp_tmp; } } /* now print */ for(lo_indx = 0; lo_indx < icount; lo_indx++){ printf("%c %d %d\n", ar[lo_indx].wp_cval, ar[lo_indx].wp_font, ar[lo_indx].wp_psize); } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } struct wp_char infun(void){ struct wp_char wp_char; wp_char.wp_cval = getchar(); wp_char.wp_font = 2; wp_char.wp_psize = 10; return(wp_char); }Example 6.1
Once it is possible to declare structures it seems pretty natural to declare arrays of them, use them as members of other structures and so on. In fact the only restriction is that a structure cannot contain an example of itself as a member—in which case its size would be an interesting concept for philosophers to debate, but hardly useful to a C programmer.
6.2.1. Pointers and structures
If what the last paragraph says is true—that it is more common to use pointers to structures than to use the structures directly—we need to know how to do it. Declaring pointers is easy of course:
struct wp_char *wp_p;
gives us one straight away. But how do we access the members of the structure? One way might be to look through the pointer to get the whole structure, then select the member:
/* get the structure, then select a member */ (*wp_p).wp_cval
that would certainly work (the parentheses are there because . has
a higher precedence than
*). It's not an easy notation to work
with though, so C introduces a new operator to clean things up; it is
usually known as the ‘pointing-to’ operator. Here it is being
used:
/* the wp_cval in the structure wp_p points to */ wp_p->wp_cval = 'x';
and although it might not look a lot easier than its alternative, it pays off when the structure contains pointers, as in a linked list. The pointing-to syntax is much easier if you want to follow two or three stages down the links of a linked list. If you haven't come across linked lists before, you're going to learn a lot more than just the use of structures before this chapter finishes!
If the thing on the left of the
. or
->
operator is qualified (with
const or
volatile)
then the result is also has those qualifiers associated with it. Here it
is, illustrated with pointers; when the pointer points to a qualified type
the result that you get is also qualified:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct somestruct{ int i; }; main(){ struct somestruct *ssp, s_item; const struct somestruct *cssp; s_item.i = 1; /* fine */ ssp = &s_item; ssp->i += 2; /* fine */ cssp = &s_item; cssp->i = 0; /* not permitted - cssp points to const objects */ exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }
Not all compiler writers seem to have noticed that requirement—the compiler that we used to test the last example failed to warn that the final assignment violated a constraint.
Here is the Example 6.1 rewritten using pointers, and with the input function infun changed to accept a pointer to a structure rather than returning one. This is much more likely to be what would be seen in practice.
(It is fair to say that, for a really efficient implementation, even the copying of structures would probably be dropped, especially if they were large. Instead, an array of pointers would be used, and the pointers exchanged until the sorted data could be found by traversing the pointer array in index order. That would complicate things too much for a simple example.)
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define ARSIZE 10 struct wp_char{ char wp_cval; short wp_font; short wp_psize; }ar[ARSIZE]; void infun(struct wp_char *); main(){ struct wp_char wp_tmp, *lo_indx, *hi_indx, *in_p; for(in_p = ar; in_p < &ar[ARSIZE]; in_p++){ infun(in_p); if(in_p->wp_cval == '\n'){ /* * Leave the loop. * not incrementing in_p means that the * '\n' is ignored in the sort */ break; } } /* * Now a simple exchange sort. * We must be careful to avoid the danger of pointer underflow, * so check that there are at least two entries to sort. */ if(in_p-ar > 1) for(lo_indx = ar; lo_indx <= in_p-2; lo_indx++){ for(hi_indx = lo_indx+1; hi_indx <= in_p-1; hi_indx++){ if(lo_indx->wp_cval > hi_indx->wp_cval){ /* * Swap the structures. */ struct wp_char wp_tmp = *lo_indx; *lo_indx = *hi_indx; *hi_indx = wp_tmp; } } } /* now print */ for(lo_indx = ar; lo_indx < in_p; lo_indx++){ printf("%c %d %d\n", lo_indx->wp_cval, lo_indx->wp_font, lo_indx->wp_psize); } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } void infun( struct wp_char *inp){ inp->wp_cval = getchar(); inp->wp_font = 2; inp->wp_psize = 10; return; }Example 6.2
The next issue is to consider what a structure looks like in terms of
storage layout. It's best not to worry about this too much, but it is
sometimes useful if you have to use C to access record-structured data
written by other programs. The
wp_char structure will be
allocated storage as shown in Figure 6.1.
The diagram assumes a number of things: that a
char takes
1 byte of storage; that a
short needs 2 bytes; and that
shorts must be aligned on even byte addresses in this
architecture. As a result the structure contains an unnamed 1-byte member
inserted by the compiler for architectural reasons. Such addressing
restrictions are quite common and can often result in structures containing
‘holes’.
The Standard makes some guarantees about the layout of structures and unions:
- Members of a structure are allocated within the structure in the order of their appearance in the declaration and have ascending addresses.
- There must not be any padding in front of the first member.
- The address of a structure is the same as the address of its first member, provided that the appropriate cast is used. Given the previous declaration of
struct wp_char, if item is of type
struct wp_char, then
(char *)item == &item.wp_cval.
- Bit fields (see Section 6.4) don't actually have addresses, but are conceptually packed into units which obey the rules above.
6.2.2. Linked lists and other structures
The combination of structures and pointers opens up a lot of interesting possibilities. This is not a textbook on complex linked data structures, but it will go on to describe two very common examples of the breed: linked lists and trees. Both have a feature in common: they consist of structures containing pointers to other structures, all the structures typically being of the same type. Figure 6.2 shows a picture of a linked list.
The sort of declaration needed for that is this:
struct list_ele{ int data; /* or whatever you like here */ struct list_ele *ele_p; };
Now, at first glance, it seems to contain itself—which is
forbidden—but in fact it only contains a pointer to itself.
How come the pointer declaration is allowed? Well, by the time the compiler
reaches the pointer declaration it already knows that there is such a thing
as a
struct list_ele so the declaration is permitted. In fact,
it is possible to make a incomplete declaration of a structure by
saying
struct list_ele;
at some point before the full declaration. A declaration like that declares an incomplete type. This will allow the declaration of pointers before the full declaration is seen. It is also important in the case of cross-referencing structures where each must contain a pointer to the other, as shown in the following example.
struct s_1; /* incomplete type */ struct s_2{ int something; struct s_1 *sp; }; struct s_1{ /* now the full declaration */ float something; struct s_2 *sp; };Example 6.3
This illustrates the need for incomplete types. It also illustrates an important thing about the names of structure members: they inhabit a name-space per structure, so element names can be the same in different structures without causing any problems.
Incomplete types may only be used where the size of the structure isn't needed yet. A full declaration must have been given by the time that the size is used. The later full declaration mustn't be in an inner block because then it becomes a new declaration of a different structure.
struct x; /* incomplete type */ /* valid uses of the tag */ struct x *p, func(void); void f1(void){ struct x{int i;}; /* redeclaration! */ } /* full declaration now */ struct x{ float f; }s_x; void f2(void){ /* valid statements */ p = &s_x; *p = func(); s_x = func(); } struct x func(void){ struct x tmp; tmp.f = 0; return (tmp); }Example 6.4
There's one thing to watch out for: you get a incomplete type of a structure simply by mentioning its name! That means that this works:
struct abc{ struct xyz *p;}; /* the incomplete type 'struct xyz' now declared */ struct xyz{ struct abc *p;}; /* the incomplete type is now completed */
There's a horrible danger in the last example, though, as this shows:
struct xyz{float x;} var1; main(){ struct abc{ struct xyz *p;} var2; /* AAAGH - struct xyz REDECLARED */ struct xyz{ struct abc *p;} var3; }
The result is that
var2.p can hold the address of
var1, but emphatically not the address of
var3
which is of a different type! It can be fixed (assuming that it's not what
you wanted) like this:
struct xyz{float x;} var1; main(){ struct xyz; /* new incomplete type 'struct xyz' */ struct abc{ struct xyz *p;} var2; struct xyz{ struct abc *p;} var3; }
The type of a structure or union is completed when the closing } of its declaration is seen; it must contain at least one member or the behaviour is undefined.
The other principal way to get incomplete types is to declare arrays without specifying their size—their type is incomplete until a later declaration provides the missing information:
int ar[]; /* incomplete type */ int ar[5]; /* completes the type */
If you try that out, it will only work if the declarations are outside any blocks (external declarations), but that's for other reasons.
Back to the linked list. There were three elements linked into the list, which could have been built like this:
struct list_ele{ int data; struct list_ele *pointer; }ar[3]; main(){ ar[0].data = 5; ar[0].pointer = &ar[1]; ar[1].data = 99; ar[1].pointer = &ar[2]; ar[2].data = -7; ar[2].pointer = 0; /* mark end of list */ return(0); }Example 6.5
and the contents of the list can be printed in two ways. The array can be traversed in order of index, or the pointers can be used as in the following example.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct list_ele{ int data; struct list_ele *pointer; }ar[3]; main(){ struct list_ele *lp; ar[0].data = 5; ar[0].pointer = &ar[1]; ar[1].data = 99; ar[1].pointer = &ar[2]; ar[2].data = -7; ar[2].pointer = 0; /* mark end of list */ /* follow pointers */ lp = ar; while(lp){ printf("contents %d\n", lp->data); lp = lp->pointer; } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }Example 6.6
It's the way that the pointers are followed which makes the example
interesting. Notice how the pointer in each element is used to refer to the
next one, until the pointer whose value is
0 is found. That
value causes the
while loop to stop. Of course the pointers
can be arranged in any order at all, which is what makes the list such
a flexible structure. Here is a function which could be included as part of
the last program to sort the linked list into numeric order of its data
fields. It rearranges the pointers so that the list, when traversed in
pointer sequence, is found to be in order. It is important to note that the
data itself is not copied. The function must return a pointer to the head
of the list, because that is not necessarily at
ar[0] any
more.
struct list_ele * sortfun( struct list_ele *list ) { int exchange; struct list_ele *nextp, *thisp, dummy; /* * Algorithm is this: * Repeatedly scan list. * If two list items are out of order, * link them in the other way round. * Stop if a full pass is made and no * exchanges are required. * The whole business is confused by * working one element behind the * first one of interest. * This is because of the simple mechanics of * linking and unlinking elements. */ dummy.pointer = list; do{ exchange = 0; thisp = &dummy; while( (nextp = thisp->pointer) && nextp->pointer){ if(nextp->data < nextp->pointer->data){ /* exchange */ exchange = 1; thisp->pointer = nextp->pointer; nextp->pointer = thisp->pointer->pointer; thisp->pointer->pointer = nextp; } thisp = thisp->pointer; } }while(exchange); return(dummy.pointer); }Example 6.7
Expressions such as
thisp->pointer->pointer are
commonplace in list processing. It's worth making sure that you understand
it; the notation emphasizes the way that links are followed.
6.2.3. Trees
Another very popular data structure is the tree. It's actually a linked
list with branches; a common type is the binary tree which has
elements (
nodes) looking like this:
struct tree_node{ int data; struct tree_node *left_p, *right_p; };
For historical and essentially irrelevant reasons, trees in computer science work upside down. They have their root node at the top and their branches spread out downwards. In Figure 6.3, the ‘data’ members of the nodes are replaced by values which will be used in the discussion that follows.
Trees may not seem very exciting if your main interest lies in routine character handling and processing, but they are extremely important to the designers of databases, compilers and other complex tools.
The advantage of a tree is that, if it is properly arranged, the layout of the data can support binary searching very simply. It is always possible to add new nodes to a tree at the appropriate place and a tree is basically a flexible and useful data structure.
Look at Figure 6.3. The tree is carefully constructed so that it can be searched to find whether a given value can be found in the data portions of the nodes. Let's say we want to find if a value x is already present in the tree. The algorithm is this:
Start at the root of the tree: if the tree is empty (no nodes) then return ‘failure’. else if the data in the current node is equal to the value being searched for then return ‘success’. else if the data in the current node is greater than the value being searched for then search the tree indicated by the left pointer else search the tree indicated by the right pointer.
Here it is in C:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct tree_node{ int data; struct tree_node *left_p, *right_p; }tree[7]; /* * Tree search algorithm. * Searches for value 'v' in tree, * returns pointer to first node found containing * the value otherwise 0. */ struct tree_node * t_search(struct tree_node *root, int v){ while(root){ if(root->data == v) return(root); if(root->data > v) root = root->left_p; else root = root->right_p; } /* value not found, no tree left */ return(0); } main(){ /* construct tree by hand */ struct tree_node *tp, *root_p; int i; for(i = 0; i < 7; i++){ int j; j = i+1; tree[i].data = j; if(j == 2 || j == 6){ tree[i].left_p = &tree[i-1]; tree[i].right_p = &tree[i+1]; } } /* root */ root_p = &tree[3]; root_p->left_p = &tree[1]; root_p->right_p = &tree[5]; /* try the search */ tp = t_search(root_p, 9); if(tp) printf("found at position %d\n", tp-tree); else printf("value not found\n"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }Example 6.8
So that works fine. It is also interesting to note that, given a value,
it can always be inserted at the appropriate point in the tree. The same
search algorithm is used, but, instead of giving up when it finds that the
value is not already in the tree, a new node is allocated by
malloc, and is hung on the tree at the very place where the
first null pointer was found. This is a mite more complicated to do because
of the problem of handling the root pointer itself, and so a pointer to
a pointer is used. Read the example carefully; it is not likely that you
ever find anything more complicated than this in practice. If you can
understand it, there is not much that should worry you about the vast
majority of C language programs.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct tree_node{ int data; struct tree_node *left_p, *right_p; }; /* * Tree search algorithm. * Searches for value 'v' in tree, * returns pointer to first node found containing * the value otherwise 0. */ struct tree_node * t_search(struct tree_node *root, int v){ while(root){ printf("looking for %d, looking at %d\n", v, root->data); if(root->data == v) return(root); if(root->data > v) root = root->left_p; else root = root->right_p; } /* value not found, no tree left */ return(0); } /* * Insert node into tree. * Return 0 for success, * 1 for value already in tree, * 2 for malloc error */ int t_insert(struct tree_node **root, int v){ while(*root){ if((*root)->data == v) return(1); if((*root)->data > v) root = &((*root)->left_p); else root = &((*root)->right_p); } /* value not found, no tree left */ if((*root = (struct tree_node *) malloc(sizeof (struct tree_node))) == 0) return(2); (*root)->data = v; (*root)->left_p = 0; (*root)->right_p = 0; return(0); } main(){ /* construct tree by hand */ struct tree_node *tp, *root_p = 0; int i; /* we ingore the return value of t_insert */ t_insert(&root_p, 4); t_insert(&root_p, 2); t_insert(&root_p, 6); t_insert(&root_p, 1); t_insert(&root_p, 3); t_insert(&root_p, 5); t_insert(&root_p, 7); /* try the search */ for(i = 1; i < 9; i++){ tp = t_search(root_p, i); if(tp) printf("%d found\n", i); else printf("%d not found\n", i); } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }Example 6.9
Finally, the algorithm that allows you to walk along the tree visiting all the nodes in order is beautiful. It is the cleanest example of recursion that you are likely to see. Look at it and work out what it does.
void t_walk(struct tree_node *root_p){ if(root_p == 0) return; t_walk(root_p->left_p); printf("%d\n", root_p->data); t_walk(root_p->right_p); }Example 6.10 | http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/chapter6/structures.html | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | refinedweb | 3,878 | 61.56 |

Incidentally, I see from the FCGI docs that they wrap the stdio functions using the C preprocessor. That's not going to do any good for a Lua program that invokes the core Lua stdio bindings somewhere else; the preprocessor definitions were never (and often cannot be) applied in that context. So you'd have to rebind the input and output functions yourself and expose them as new functions in the Lua namespace.

2018¶
December¶
Fixed #2710 in
lino.modlib.extjs Checking date change. When
lino.modlib.system.SiteConfig.next_partner_id was inadvertently set to
the id of an existing Company, creating a Person caused Lino to overwrite the
data of the company instead of noticing the problem.
(20181226) Removed the pisa build method for printable documents. Lino Così
now uses
lino_xl.lib.weasyprint as the default build method. You will get
an error at the data migration if there are objects (e.g. calendar entries)
pointing to this print method. In that you can probably simply deactivate the
following line in
create_cal_event():
kw.update(build_method=build_method)
Released Lino Così 18.12.1
(20181225) Installing Lino Così with the pip command now works with Python3 as described in Installing a Lino developer environment.

(20181225) Installing Lino Così with the pip command now works with Python3 as described in Installing a Lino developer environment.
(20181224) fixed #2773 in
lino_xl.lib.beid : when calling

(20181222)
lino_xl.lib.topics :

2018-12-18¶
Released Lino version 18.12.5.
Lino was not yet installable using pip under Python 3. Now it is (hopefully).
A new command-line option
--quick has been added to
restore.py.
The idea was that calling
Model.full_clean() on every restored database
row might make things very slow. This was used to try #2755 on the
field. First tests on real data indicate that it doesn't give very much.
Released XL version 18.12.5
The
lino_xl.lib.xl.Priorities choicelist was moved from
lino_xl.lib.tickets to
lino_xl.lib.xl so that it can be used by
any plugin of the XL. The
cal.Priority model and its FK in
cal.Event have been removed. Added a
choicelist field
lino_xl.lib.cal.Component.priority pointing to
Priorities. Priorities can't be
configured using the web interface any more, this is now done using a local
choicelists module.
Applications using
lino_xl.lib.cal must do a database migration:
def create_cal_event(id, modified, created, start_date, start_time, end_date, e$ ... #kw.update(priority_id=priority_id) ... def main(args): ... #execfile("cal_priority.py", *args) ...
The
get_table_summary() of
lino_xl.lib.blog.LatestEntries now
also returns an etree element (instead of a string with HTML).
2018-12-13¶
Released Lino 18.12.2
The new
lino.modlib.summaries.Summarized mixin didn't yet update its
fields during
checkdata. And I had no pangs of conscience to
completely review the API at that occasion: Summarizable becomes Summarized,
Summary becomes MonthlySlaveSummary, a new attribute
delete_them_all to make sure the developer
knows what it means.
lino.utils.jsgen.py2js() now has a keyword argument "compact" that
defaults to True. Because the default behaviour of py2js returns a massive
1-line response which makes it almost impossible to find where an issue in the
json is if there is some problem. In the react renderer im having it using the
lino.core.site.Site.is_demo_site value to determine if it wants to have
it be compact or not.
Released XL 18.12.3
2018-12-12¶
Released version 18.12.1.
#2745 (Summaries without master) caused some changes in
lino.modlib.summaries:
Added a new type of summary: a
lino.modlib.summaries.Summarizable. Models inheriting this have a lightning button to the ticket and makes the summary fields get updated during
computesummaries, but unlike it subclasses the objects are not considered temporary data (i.e. not being deleted during
computesummaries.
Actions for updating summaries now have a "∑" as button_text instead of a 'lightning' icon.
First usage example is
lino_noi.lib.tickets.Ticketwhich now.
#2744 (How to use locally injected fields in a layout) : new method
lino.core.model.Model.get_layout_aliases().
Fixed an unreported bug: the
checksummarytask was maybe not being run daily by
linod.
A solution for #2746. The virtual field
lino.core.model.Model.overviewwas being used for two different things: (1) in detail layouts to create customizable "overview panels" and (2) in table layouts to create a "clickable description", functionally equivalent to double clicking on the row.
The latter use should now be done with the new virtual field
lino.core.model.Model.detail_linkwhose verbose_name is automatically set to the model's verbose_name. This is done during startup and probably you cannot override this.
The
lino.core.model.Model.overviewfield no longer has a verbose_name, so application code no longer needs to set it explicitly to None using
dd.update_field().
Released XL version 18.12.1
lino_noi.lib.tickets.Ticketnow.
2018-12-11¶
Released version 18.12.0
We are still working on #2741 (Have book test pass with PyPI version of lino and lino_xl).
2018-12-10¶
Released version 18.11.0
The default value for
verbose_name_plural of a
lino.core.workflows.Workflow is now more intelligent: if the workflow
is being used on a single model (which is the case for most workflows), the
text is now "{} states" where {} is the model's verbose name.
lino.modlib.memo.parser.Parser.register_django_model() now says an understandable
error message "Duplicate renderer for %s" when an application tries to redefine
another renderer on the same model.
lino.modlib.uploads : the summary of AreaUploads now supports being
shown in a grid. It shows contant as a single paragraph (instead of an UL and
adds an action for opening the salve table in a separate window.
Fixed #2731 in
lino_xl.lib.cal:
lino_xl.lib.cal.MyTasks no longer hides open tasks that were started
in the past. PublishEvent is now allowed for a meeting that lies in the past.
lino_xl.lib.courses: the Explorer menu now shows courses.CourseStates

New model mixin
lino.mixins.refs.StructuredReferrable.
New model mixin
lino.modlib.users.UserPlan.
plain html tables now use

We have a new method
lino.core.requests.BaseRequest.show_story()which is used in the template for the report (
ledger/Report/default.weazy.html).
in
lino.api.doctest, show_sql_queries and show_sql_summary no longer call reset_sql_queries.
we continued to improve the documentation
lino.api.doctest.show_sql_summary()now supports INSERT INTO and DELETE FROM statements. It now uses sqlparse.
New features visible to end-users:
A new implementation of the Accounting Report.

Hi there dear enthusiasts,
I have been trying to run a couple of processing (java based) sketches using Jython. However, in both cases I am getting similar errors which I can not resolve. Here is my first piece of very basic code:
from processing.core import PApplet class HelloProcessing(PApplet): def setup(self): global p p = self p.size(350, 350) def draw(self): p.fill(p.random(255)) p.rect(150, 150, 50, 50) if __name__ == '__main__': import pawt pawt.test(HelloProcessing()) `
I get the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/nimanamjouyan/workspace/LearningPyDev/src/helloProcessing.py", line 15, in <module> pawt.test(HelloProcessing()) File "/home/nimanamjouyan/jython-installer-2.7.0/Lib/pawt/__init__.py", line 9, in test f.add('Center', panel) TypeError: add(): 1st arg can't be coerced to String, java.awt.Component
The other piece of code I am trying to run is this:) return self.PApplet
The error I am getting this time is:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/nimanamjouyan/workspace/LearningPyDev/src/RandBoxesTest.py", line 54, in <module> frame.add(panel) TypeError: add(): 1st arg can't be coerced to java.awt.PopupMenu, java.awt.Component
These two errors seem to be very similar. What am I doing wrong here? is java.awt incompatible with the class that I am parsing to? How can I fix this?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi there,
I actually found a solution which makes the program work, but it does not address the problem. The "core.jar" file which I was using was from Processing 3.2.3. I changed it with the "core.jar" from Processing 1.5.1 and 2.2.1 and for both of them I no longer got the error and the program worked.
this
is trying to add a PApplet to a frame. if PApplet isn't one of Component or Popup menu then you'll have trouble. and PApplet changed sometime in P3, away from extending Applet
processing-3.1.1/core/library/core.jar
public class PApplet implements PConstants
processing-3.0b7/core/library/core.jar
public class PApplet implements PConstants
processing-2.2.1/core/library/core.jar
public class PApplet extends Applet implements PConstants, Runnable, MouseListener, MouseWheelListener, MouseMotionListener, KeyListener, FocusListener {...
I've repeated that zillion times already: :-<
Latest version which still
extendsJava's Applet class is 3.0a5! :(|)
Though I would still recommend using version 2.2.1
Thanks guys!!!! Also I was wondering why my mouse functions like "mousePressed" are not working. I changed the first code a little bit to make the colour of the rectangle dependent on the press of the mouse:
But it does not seem to work. any ideas why not?
I have no idea what that
pawtis for.
But AFAIK, class PApplet needs its methods main() or runSketch() in order to "ignite" it! :-?
The mouse does not work in my other longer code which is not using
pawt. Would you please point me to an example or let me know how I can use "mousePressed' and other Processing mouse functions? Also I have not used main() or runSketch(), but Processing functions such as fill() and rect() seem to work, but mouse stuff does not work. Any ideas why?
Sorry, I barely know anything about Python or its "ecosystem". X_X
That's just my Java Mode knowledge.
What its pre-processor does to transpile a ".pde" to an actual ".java" file. ~O)
I am not really sure about the pre-processor either. I really want to make this code work on eclipse so then I can integrate it with other python code and run it on a server as a GUI ( I am referring to the longer piece of code). Nonetheless, if you find anything or any guides relevant to my case, I would really appreciate it, if you could let me know. I really want to get the mouse working
In order to use Processing code on Eclipse or other IDE's, it's important to know how PDE's pre-processor works. That's all I know. 8-|
I see. I actually switched "mousePressed" with "mouseButton" and specified the button and it works! For some reason "mousePressed" is not working. Moreover, when I use
print(mousePressed)I get something weird like
<bound method Sketch.mousePressed of org.python.proxies.__main__$Sketch$0[panel0,0,0,300x300,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout]>
But when I do the same with "mouseButton" I actually get an integer value. It seems that some functions are not working? I am not exactly sure what is going on.
In Java, fields, methods & classes, each got its own namespace.
It means we can use the same label name for each of those 3 categories at the same time!
However, we don't have separate namespaces for JS. And I believe that's true for Python as well. :-@
Hi ! I have the same problem, did you fix it ? I need help too ! | https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/19617/why-do-i-keep-getting-similar-errors-while-trying-to-run-processing-using-jython-in-eclipse | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | refinedweb | 851 | 69.07 |
I am a CS1 student and have had no issues until this point in the class really. I have been working on this for awhile now and cannot figure out how to get this to work!
I am supposed to use this code and modify it to #1 - open a .DAT file (which is just a comma delimited file with about 15 numbers) #2 - import the numbers from the file #3 - Sort the numbers
We are supposed to keep with the existing code using vectors but I just cannot get this to function properly...this is my very first post here so be easy with me lol

I know that there are a few lines that are probably way off, but I am pulling my hair out because everything I have tried hasn't worked...any help would be greatly appreciated. | https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/420857/need-help-importing-dat-file-and-sorting-using-vector | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | refinedweb | 263 | 63.19 |

Overall deal volume for 2012 also hit a 10-year high at 204 transactions involving deals valued at more than $50m (€37m), representing $146.2bn, which was the second highest total deal value in 10 years, PwC said. During the final three months of 2012, total deal value hit $56.2bn, also the second highest level in 10 years.
Several factors contributed to the flurry of merger and acquisition, PwC said, including private equity interest, foreign buyers, shale plays and companies looking to get deals done before the end of the year with the looming federal budget “fiscal cliff” situation and proposed tax changes.

Sometimes one is in the middle of a debugging session and one would like to add some new code. For example, you may want to whip up a function that prints an object a certain way and it's just a temporary hack and it's just easier to do in C/C++. Or you may want some kind of complex test to use as the condition for the breakpoint, and you don't want to relink the program.
For situations such as these the following is an option to try. It involves calling dlopen from GDB to load the new code into the running inferior. ["inferior" is GDB parlance for the program you are debugging.] Once the code is loaded it is accessible from GDB.
Here is a simple and somewhat contrived example. [A better example is most welcome. :-)] This example is specific to Linux (and presumably other *nix Systems). If your system is not one of these perhaps this example can be adapted for it.
Alas, while it would be nice if this example Just Worked out of the box, it uses dlopen and thus requires libdl.so linked into your program. Heads up.
Here is the program we are debugging.
birthdays.h:
#include <map> #include <vector> #include <string> // A table mapping birthdays 1-31 to names of people having // birthdays on that day. typedef std::map<int, std::vector<std::string> > birthdays_type;
birthdays.cc:
#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include "birthdays.h" using namespace std; birthdays_type birthdays; static void init () { birthdays[8].push_back ("Ann"); birthdays[8].push_back ("Claire"); birthdays[16].push_back ("John"); } static void usage () { cerr << "Usage: birthdays number(1-31)\n"; exit (1); } static void print (const string& s) { cout << s << "\n"; } static void print_matching (int day) { const vector<string>& people = birthdays[day]; for (string p : people) print (p); } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc != 2) usage (); int day = atoi (argv[1]); init (); print_matching (day); return 0; }
Suppose we're in the middle of a GDB session and we want to stop when we're examining the entry for "Claire".
bash$ gdb a.out (gdb) start 8 Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x401447: file birthdays.cc, line 45. Starting program: /home/dje/src/play/birthdays.x64 8 Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe7f8) at birthdays.cc:45 45 if (argc != 2)
Since it's stored as a string class doing this test is perhaps not complex but certainly more effort than just a simple strcmp.
So we have the following helper function:
int is_claire (string *s) { return *s == "Claire"; }
Now we just need to add it to our session.
First, let's set up some helper convenience variables:
(gdb) set $dlopen = (void*(*)(char *, int)) dlopen (gdb) set $dlsym = (void*(*)(void*, char *)) dlsym (gdb) set $dlclose = (int(*)(void*)) dlclose
That may not work however. libdl.so exports these symbols as versioned symbols, e.g., dlopen@@GLIBC_2.2.5. So if the above doesn't work try one of these:
(gdb) set $dlopen = (void*(*)(char *, int)) 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.2.5' (gdb) set $dlsym = (void*(*)(void*, char *)) 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5' (gdb) set $dlclose = (int(*)(void*)) 'dlclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
or
(gdb) set $dlopen = (void*(*)(char *, int)) __dlopen (gdb) set $dlsym = (void*(*)(void*, char *)) __dlsym (gdb) set $dlclose = (int(*)(void*)) __dlclose
The __ versions are "for internal use only", but there is Lefler's Law #36: You gotta go with what works.
With those convenience variables in place we can do this:
(gdb) !g++ -shared -fpic helper.cc -o helper.so (gdb) $mylib = $dlopen ("./helper.so", 1) # 1 is RTLD_LAZY (gdb) b print if is_claire (&s) (gdb) c Continuing. Ann Breakpoint 2, print (s="Claire") at birthdays.cc:30 30 cout << s << "\n"; (gdb)
We are now stopped at the desired point.
Important things to remember
We're calling dlopen at a possibly random point in the program. As long as the thread is not stopped inside the dynamic linker this should be ok.
dlopen needs to be available, so at a minimum your program must be linked with -ldl. | http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/LoadingCodeIntoActiveSession?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=3 | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | refinedweb | 673 | 75.2 |
Query string library have stringifyUrl
I've been using query-string library to create my query string for a long time. Normally I've used it as follows:
import * as qs from "query-string";
const API_URL = "/users?" + qs.stringfy({ user: "1" });
// API_URL will be /users?user=1
Everything was fine until my parameter was null or undefined. When such case occurs my
API_URL
looked something like
/users?. It wasn't a problem for the endpoint - the request was hitting backend
yet I've some feeling that it can be done better. Today when I was integrating
query-string into
a new project I found out about new function:
stringifyUrl. Let's see it in action:
import * as qs from "query-string";
const API_URL = qs.stringifyUrl(
{
url: "/users",
query: {
user: 1,
},
},
{ skipNull: true }
);
// API_URL will be /users?user=1
// and in case when user id is null
// /users
Perfect 🎉. Now I'm happy and I've learned new stuff - so if you happen to use query-string consider using
stringifyUrl. | https://krzysztofzuraw.com/blog/2020/stringify-url/ | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | refinedweb | 169 | 74.49 |

Unfortunately, you can’t do that. You must know the version of the compiler in the bsd.*.mk system now.

Ubuntu.Components.InverseMouseArea
The InverseMouseArea captures mouse events happening outside of a given area. More...
Properties
- sensingArea : Item
- topmostItem : bool
Detailed Description
A typical use case is hiding of a popup or tooltip when the user presses or taps outside of the popup or tooltip area. The following example illustrates the use of InverseMouseArea in a Popup.
Popup.qml
import QtQuick 2.4 import Ubuntu.Components 1.2 Rectangle { anchors.centerIn: parent width: 200; height: 200 color: "darkgray" radius: 10 InverseMouseArea { anchors.fill: parent acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton onPressed: parent.destroy() } }
In the Popup above the mouse presses happening outside the area will cause closing and destroying the popup.
import QtQuick 2.4 import Ubuntu.Components 1.2 Item { width: 640 height: 480 Button { id: button text: "Press me" onClicked: { var component = Qt.createComponent("Popup.qml"); var obj = component.create(parent); obj.visible = true; } } }
By default the InverseMouseArea sensing area (the area from which the mouse clicks will be taken) is the application's root component, or the Window in which the topmost parent component of the mouse area resides. This area can be however altered to a different area by setting the sensingArea property to a component which is either a parent of the mouse area or a sibling of it.
import QtQuick 2.4 import Ubuntu.Components 1.2 Item { width: units.gu(40) height: units.gu(71) MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: console.log("clicked on the root component") } Rectangle { id: blueRect width: units.gu(30) height: units.gu(51) anchors.centerIn: parent color: "blue" Rectangle { width: units.gu(20) height: units.gu(20) anchors.centerIn: parent color: "red" InverseMouseArea { anchors.fill: parent sensingArea: blueRect onClicked: console.log("clicked on the blue rect") } } } }
In this example the inverse mouse area will get mouse presses only when those happen on the blue rectangle area. When clicked outside of the blue rectangle or inside the red rectangle, the mouse area covering the root item will get click signals.
InverseMouseArea, being derived from MouseArea respects the stacking and z-order of the components. This should be taken into account when combining it with MouseAreas within the same level of the component hierarchy or when combined with MouseArea siblings. In these cases it is recommended to have the InverseMouseArea declared as last component, having it in this way as last one oin the component stack.
Item { id: page width: units.gu(40) height: units.gu(71) Rectangle { id: label anchors { horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter top: parent.top } height: units.gu(5) width: parent.width color: "red" MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent z: 1 onPressed: console.log("red band") } } Rectangle { anchors { top: label.bottom topMargin: units.gu(2) horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter } height: units.gu(10) width: parent.width color: "green" Button { id: button anchors.centerIn: parent text: "I'm a button, I do nothing." } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onPressed: console.log("green band") } InverseMouseArea { anchors.fill: button onPressed: console.log("all over except button") } } }
When this is not enough, and you want to grab all the mouse events that have been sent to the sensingArea, you can use topmostItem to place the mouse area above all the components that were instantiated under the sensing area. Beware that setting this property will no longer consider neither the z-order nor the component stack order anymore, as it will steal all the mouse events from the component set as sensingArea.
Item { width: units.gu(40) height: units.gu(71) Rectangle { id: firstRect anchors { left: parent.left top: parent.top leftMargin: units.gu(10) topMargin: units.gu(10) } width: units.gu(15) height: width color: "blue" InverseMouseArea { anchors.fill: parent objectName: "IMA" topmostItem: true onPressed: print("IMA") } } Rectangle { anchors { left: firstRect.right top: firstRect.bottom } width: units.gu(10) height: width color: "red" MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent objectName: "MA" onPressed: print("MA") } } }
Property Documentation
This property holds the sensing area of the inverse mouse area. By default it is the root item but it can be set to any other area. The area can be reset to the root item by setting null to the property.
The property specifies whether the InverseMouseArea should be above all components taking all mouse, wheel and hover events from the application's or from the area specified by the sensingArea (true), or only from the siblings (false). The default value is false. | https://phone.docs.ubuntu.com/en/apps/api-qml-development/Ubuntu.Components.InverseMouseArea | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | refinedweb | 720 | 53.88 |

Hi Peter and others,
Sorry for commenting so late in the process, it's already past 19th,
but
as the review period is not officially declared to be over, I hope I'm
still on time.
Like Peter said, bind is kind of a partial solution while waiting for
a
more full-fledged expression template library.
The LL has been sitting in the vault for quite some time, but it will
be submitted, sooner rather than later, so I want to make sure that
the two libraries
(bind and LL) are not conflicting in their functionalities.
First, bind offers a subset of the functionalities of LL (except for
the visitor stuff). So in theory,
if LL is at some point accepted to boost, users could just throw in a
new
include file and things should work. Currently this is not so.
There is a major difference between how arguments are stored within
the
bound function.
I'm placing a full article about this issue in the Files section
(directory: lambda, file: about_binding.ps). The paper appeared in the
proceedings of the MPOOL'01 workshop
In short, the issue is this:
C++ functions can take their arguments as copies or as references.
In an ideal case, a binding library should just replicate the
prototype of
the underlying function, so that bound arguments that the function
takes as references should be stored as references, and bound
arguments
that the function takes as copies, should be stored as copies.
This is not possible to implement staying inside the
current language.
The bind library has taken the route to store the bound arguments as
copies,
except when ref or cref is used, whereas LL tries to make an educated
guess
whether to store the arguments as references or as copies.
Here's an example taken from the article:
class turtle {
...
void move(const step& s);
};
turtle t;
list<step> s;
...
for_each(s.begin(), s.end(), bind(t, _1));
// In LL moves turtle t the steps in the list of steps s
// In Peter's bind library moves a copy of turtle t
ref(t) can be used (in both libraries) to make bind store arguments by
reference, the question is just what should be the default.
Please take a look at the article for a more in-depth treatment.
I'm not saying that bind library should be changed to have the same
semantics
than LL. I'm saying that they should both have the same semantics,
and LL can be changed just as well.
I think that this is a deeper issue, and requires careful
consideration and
it should be discussed before committing us into any one solution.
Other comments
--------------------
I see ref and cref are in the bind library now. What was decided on
this?
Tuples were lifted to boost namespace, and so ref and cref are now in
tuple
and in bind libraries?!
Would 'utility' be a better place for this piece of functionality?
There was a comment on the name bind, and someone considered it bad as
e.g. bind(f, _1, _2) doesn't bind anything. Well, it does, namely the
function f. Anyway, I too chose the name bind in the old binder
library
(predecessor of LL) for the analogy to bind1st and bind2nd,
and I think the name is ok.
_1, _2, ... After seeing these names in Peter's library, we adopted
them
in LL as well. They are short, and kind of nice. They do require you
to
know the library to understand the code though, but I guess any other
name
doesn't help in this respect either.
The implementation uses a list template of its own, and that's quite a
lot
of code. Would tuples do?
Someone asked this same question: why return_type instead of
result_type?
Isn't result_type the standard name for adaptable functors? In this
way
the user could write say bind(plus<int>(), _1, _2) instead of
bind<int>(plus<int>(), _1, _2).
Summary
-------
In general, I think bind library is a good temporary solution, I hope
we will
eventually go to a full expression template library (LL :),
offering recursive binding, and binding of operator functions as well,
and free mixing of these.
So I vote for accept, but not until the argument passing/storing
semantics

Good question. I did it just so that if the units (resulting from tom)
came out as equal, the lengths would still be considered different.=20
This was so that even if two lengths came out to be the same in
measurement, they would not be treated as identical. As I think about
this more, it is probably a bad idea. Maybe better to just use:
def __cmp__(self, other):
return cmp(tom(self), tom(other))

Of course, we can take this into the distribtion. But I would like to
hear a response from Jörg first (he wrote the unit-implementation).
While he's at a conference this week, we should wait until he's back.

I should tell you, that I do have similar problems in the graph
module. Here I have to compare lengths as well. While there is in
principle a possibility to internally work in PostScript points
already (there are _pt-like classes and methods almost everywhere like
path.line and path.line_pt), you can then only return PostScript
points or faked PyX lengths (as "true pt" and the like). The other
possibility is to manually convert the lengths into plain numbers
yourself before comparing. This is what I do in the graph module at
various places. I was not satisfied about adding a comparision like
you suggest it, because you can easily compare "apples and oranges" by
that. What about allowing for the comparision, when both parameters
are PyX lengths only? (This should be the case I'm doing in the graph
module all the time.) Would this be your use case as well? I would
feel much happier with that ...
And about you patch ... is there a reason why having the id-comparion
in the end? This looks totally unnatural to me ... did you step into
troubles when not having this extra interpretation of the comparision
operation???

On Ubuntu 14.04, I have installed Anaconda, which I use as my main Python interpreter. I now want to install the TensorFlow library and use this via Anaconda. So, I downloaded the relevant
foo.whl
pip install foo.whl
pip freeze
tensorflow==0.7.1
import tensorflow
ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow'
pip install
pip
export PATH=/home/karnivaurus/Libraries/Anaconda/bin:$PATH
.bashrc
You can try the similar answer here:
Pretty much do these steps:
1. Uninstall TensorFlow from pip: pip uninstall tensorflow
Do the above to avoid conflicts.
2. Install Python 3 in a virtual environment (version 0.7.1 as of this writing): conda create -n <environment_name> python==3.5.1 3. Activate your virtual environment (do this every time you want to use TensorFlow): source activate <environment_name> 4. Install a Conda version of TensorFlow in that environment (version 0.7.1 as of this writing): conda install -c tensorflow
Remember to change "environment_name" to whatever you want to name your environment. After these, you should hopefully be able to import tensorflow. If not, then anaconda might be having trouble installing TensorFlow's dependencies.
I'll run this on my machine to check real quick :p. I have confirmed that this works.
A possible reason that your installation attempt was not working is because Ubuntu 14.04 has Python 2.7 installed, in which many system programs depend on for the time being. As an aside, the Ubuntu development team is working on porting all of those programs to use Python 3 instead:
Update: added instructions to include creating a virtual environment. The virtual environment helps because it allows you to use the Python commands within the environment instead of any system Python commands. So, commands like "pip" and "python" will use the ones in the environment, which also contains the TensorFlow libraries. To get out of the environment, do:

import raster dialog bugs
Description
Using GRASS 6.5 from the svn (updated a couple days ago), I just tried to import a non-georeferenced *.tif image in order to test problems in the georectifier and find that the wrapper dialog for r.in.gdal doesn't recognize *.tif files for import, even if geotif is selected in the file type dropdown (the default selection). This DOES work in GRASS 6.4.1, so it is something that is different between the two versions.
Also, the the "load settings" dropdown does not work (the save does). Finally, the dialog is modal meaning no access to GRASS while it is open. Other GRASS dialogs are not modal. Why is this one modal? It is also modal in GRASS 6.4.1.
In 6.5 and 6.4.1, this dialog does not have the means to allow users to create a new location to import a map with a different projection. That is a very handy feature of r.in.gdal. It would be nice if available here too.
I can understand the reason for such a dialog for v.in.ogr, since this is a fairly cryptic module and not easy for normal users to navigate. But is r.in.gdal all that difficult? I'm not sure we've gained anything by this new GUI wrapper, but have lost some functionality.
Michael
This is all fixed in current GRASS 7 versions. I assume that no one will bother to fix it in legacy GRASS 6. Closing | https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1261 | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | refinedweb | 274 | 77.23 |
The Sense HAT emulator was developed by Dave Jones. It is intended for people who own a Raspberry Pi, but not a Sense HAT.
The Sense HAT is one of the most important pieces of Raspberry Pi hardware. The board was developed to travel aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the Astro Pi mission. It was also made available to buy, and schoolkids around the world use it to develop code - some of which runs in space as part of a series of competitions.
The Sense HAT adds various sensors to the Raspberry Pi: gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity.
You develop code for the Sense HAT and run it in the emulator. A visual representation of the Sense HAT hardware appears, and a range of sliders and buttons can be used to emulate the Sense HAT’s features.
The sliders are used to change the values reported by the sensors while your code is running. You can increase the pressure and humidity that the Sense HAT hardware would detect, and check that your system responds accordingly.
Using the Sense HAT emulator on a Raspberry Pi
The Sense HAT emulator is a great option for somebody who wants to develop code for the Astro Pi mission, but doesn’t have access to the Sense HAT hardware. It’s also a great environment for testing code, because you can manually adjust the values reported via the sensors.
>STEP-01: Start up the Sense HAT emulator
You can access the Sense HAT emulator from the Raspbian desktop menu, under Programming. The emulator closely simulates the experience of attaching the Sense HAT hardware to your Pi. You can read from the sensors or write to the LED matrix using multiple Python processes.
>STEP-02: Code the Sense HAT emulator
Open IDLE (Programming > Python 3) and choose File > New. Enter this code:
from sense_emu import SenseHat sense = SenseHat() green = (0,255,0) white = (255,255,255) while True: humidity = sense.humidity humidity_value = 64 * humidity / 100 pixels = [green if i < humidity_value else white for i in range(64)] sense.set_pixels(pixels)
This program adjusts the number of green and white pixels displayed on the LED, depending on the detected humidity.
>STEP-03: Run and adjust
Run the program in IDLE (Run > Run Module) and the Sense HAT image will appear and display some green LEDs. Adjust the humidity slider and watch the number of green LEDs change to match the new readings.
>STEP-04: Preferences
There are some preferences that you can adjust to change the behaviour of the emulator. Choose Edit > Preferences. Increase the Screen updates value to provide a more realistic experience of the behaviour of the hardware sensors. You’ll see that the values being returned in your code drift according to the known error tolerances of the physical sensors used on the Sense HAT.
>STEP-05: Code examples
If you’re new to the Sense HAT, you can copy and paste a range of example code from the Raspberry Pi educational resources page. Projects include a getting started guide and a random number program. You will also find lots of examples under File > Open Example. These will be written to your home directory.
>STEP-06: Port to Sense HAT
If you want to port your emulator code to a physical Sense HAT, you just need to change:
sense_emu
to…
sense_hat
Reverse this if you’re porting a physical Sense HAT program to the emulator.

Definition of Traceback in Python
Traceback in Python provides key to resolve unhandled exceptions that occur during the execution of the python program. This facility lists the nature of the exception, a clear explanation of the exception, details of program segments in the reverse order of execution that has triggered the exception to occur.
File name, module name, line numbers, and the exact code displayed by the traceback module help developers to trace the causes of exceptions by linking back various program steps and zero in on the killer lines and correct them for error-free execution. Traceback steps exactly match with the action steps of the Python interpreter, and it improves the productivity of the developer in quickly resolving issues in the program.
Syntax:
Traceback details displayed by python contain several parts, and its syntax is:
Traceback (most recent call last)
Program segment (File name, Line no, module name, exact code) executed first
Program segment (File name, Line no, module name, exact code) executed second
….
Program segment (File name, Line no, module name, exact code) executed last
Exception name: Detailed exception message
A typical traceback looks like
Traceback (most recent call last): Traceback Header
First code that got executed
File “main.py,” line 23, in module1 File name main.py, line no 23, module-1.
Exact code-1 Code is displayed
Second in the execution list
File “main.py,” line 20, in module2 File name main.py, line no 23, module-2.
Exact code-2 Code is displayed
Last in the execution list
File “main.py,” line 17, in module3 File name main.py, line no 23, module-3.
Exact code-3 Code is displayed.
IndexError: list index out of range Exception name: Detail
How does Traceback work?
Python generates traceback when an exception occurs during the execution of the python program. There are two conditions the python program gets into problems while the program is executed.
One is a syntax error. If the program is not properly coded, the program gets into error at the time of compilation itself. The developer needs to write the correct code; then, only the program will progress to the next lines.
Two is the logical error called an Exception. This error happens only during the execution, and it surfaces only when an exceptional condition occurs within the program. The exceptional condition occurs due to the supply of wrong data, and the program is not designed to manage the extraneous condition.
There are several built-in exceptions available in python, and some of them are listed below:
1. ZeroDivisionError – This error occurs if some value is divided by zero. The denominator is zero in a division.
2. ImportError – Python throws this exception when a module called is not available in its repository, and the program cannot be executed.
3. IndentationError – Exception is thrown when the indentation is incorrect. Conditional statements like If, While, For need to follow certain indentation, and if it is not followed, this error will occur.
4. IndexError – When index referenced overflows the maximum limit defined in the program, this exception will be thrown.
5. KeyError – Python triggers this exception when the referenced key is not found in the mapped table or dictionary.
6. AssertionError – This exception is thrown when a condition is declared to be true by the using Assert statement before the execution, slips into a false condition during execution of the module. The program stops execution if this is found.
7. NameError – Python throws this error if an attempt is made to refer to a variable or a function that is not defined within the program. This error could occur if a local variable is referred out of its boundary condition.
8. AttributeError – This kind of error occurs if any assignment of value is attempted on a variable that contradicts its original attribute. A string value assignment on an integer variable or vice versa results in this error.
9. TypeError – Python throws this exception when a wrong operation is attempted on a variable. Arithmetic operation on a string variable or string operation on an integer variable results in this error.
10. MemoryError This error condition occurs when the program exceeds the memory allotted to it by creating too many memory spaces and not clearing them on time.
The developer will have to use the error details, trace the code steps that caused the error and understand the issues and correct the program accordingly.
Examples
1. In the example below, there is a provision to decode the month description for the first four months in the year Jan-Apr, and anything beyond this will result in index error.
# Program to decode month code of the first four months in the year
mthdesc = ["jan","feb","mar","apr"] # four month description is the table
def decodemth(mm): # Function decodemth to decode
print (mthdesc[mm]) #() # Calling working function
When the program is executed, it prompts month code. The screenshot under various inputs.
Month code = 02
Month code = 04
Month code = 08 (out of boundary condition)
The error thrown is index out of range. The first line to be executed is line 13, which calls the src() module. The second line is to be executed in line 11 in the src() module, which calls another module decodemth(monthcode). The third and last line to be executed in line 5, which decodes and prints and it is the place where the error is thrown.
2. In this example, arithmetic operation is attempted on a string, and it returns type error
# Program to decode month code of the first four months in the year
mthdesc = ["jan","feb","mar","apr"] # four month description is the table
def decodemth(mm): # Function decodemth to decode
print (mthdesc[mm]+1 ) #()
During execution with month code 01, it gives type error and traces lead to line 13
3. Indentation error. Under the function Division, the lines are not indented
def Division():
A = Num / Den
print ("Quotient ", A)
Num = int (input ("numerator "))
Den = int (input ("denominator "))
Division()
4. Division by zero error
def Division():
A = Num / Den
print ("Quotient ", A)
Num = int (input ("numerator "))
Den = int (input ("denominator "))
Division()
When the program is executed with 10 as the numerator and 5 as the denominator, it gives results correctly.
When the program is executed with 10 as the numerator and 0 as the denominator, it gives an error.
Conclusion
Traceback provides a lot of information, ways, and means to debug any error, locate the root cause and correct them for error-free execution of Python programs.

How To Write Smart Contracts for Blockchain Using Python — Part Two
A step-by-step guide to getting started
In this series of tutorial pieces, we are going to be using the SmartPy language from Smart Chain Arena. SmartPy offers a complete integrated development environment to write smart contracts online, test them, debug them, and deploy them in a blockchain.
Requirements
- Computer programming experience
- Basic Python programming knowledge
- Blockchain technology acquaintance
- A web browser
Welcome to SmartPy!
SmartPy is based on Python 3 language and requires Python code syntax. Python developers will feel at home when starting to code smart contracts with SmartPy.
However, note that although it is possible to import Python libraries through the import directive, some features will only work in the development environment. For example, when deployed to blockchain, there are specifics of that context.
First things first
For those who don’t know much of Python, it is important to remember that indentation is important. It affects the correctness of the code.
And for the newbies of smart contract programming, note that a smart contract will always have an entry point, by which it is going to be called from the outside world, through a transaction.
After being published, smart contracts reside in a blockchain, decentralized and distributed on a network of computer nodes. A copy of the smart contract is on each node.
Lesson number one
Let’s begin by meeting the development environment. You will be granted access to the SmartPy IDE:
Couldn’t be simpler than that. The left side of the screen is the editor, where you will type your smart contract source code. The right side is the output panel; it will show the result output of your programming.
Hello World!
There is an ancient Greek saying that states that if your first program in a new language is not a “Hello World!” then you will have much trouble in your future with programming. So…
Our first SmartPy experience
Click on the editor section of the screen and type:
alert("Hello World!")
Now, just click on Evaluate Script & Run Tests (the button over the output panel). Voilà! A box appears showing “Hello World!” on screen. That’s a fair beginning, just to break the ice.
Going a little bit further
OK, it was nice seeing that message alert on screen. But, let’s modify our code a little bit to change the way the message is displayed by adding a test to our smart contract script.
Just copy and paste the code below into the editor. Pay attention to the indentation, as it matters:
@addTest(name = "testHelloWorld")
def myTest():
setOutput("Hello World!")
Now, click again on the button Evaluate Script & Run Tests. You will see the result on the output panel, and you will also note that a new button called testHelloWorld appears over it:
The test is important because we need to simulate how the smart contract will behave before we publish it on the blockchain.
So far, so good. Still, there is not really much yet that is related to smart contracts.
Creating our first smart contract
So, lets get serious. We are now going to create our first smart contract. To begin, we will
import the
smartpy library. Clear the editor and paste the code below into it:
import smartpy as sp
Now that we have imported the library, we will be able to define a class based on an inherited contract. Add this to your code:
class MyClass(sp.Contract):
def __init__(self):
self.init(result = 0)
What we are doing here is defining a new class and declaring its constuctor method (init). That is how new instances (objects) of this class will be initialized.
Defining the smart contract entryPoint
A smart contract has at least one entry point. So, let’s declare the entry point for our contract. Add the text below to your code:
@sp.entryPoint
def myEntryPoint(self, params):
self.data.result = params.op1 + params.op2
If you try to run the code by clicking on the Evaluate Scripts & Run Tests button now, nothing will happen. That’s because we need to add a test to our code.
So, let’s do it. Copy the text below and paste in your code:
@addTest(name = "myFirstSmartContractTest")
def mySmartContractTest():
html = ""
mySmartContract = MyClass()
html += mySmartContract.myEntryPoint(op1 = 1, op2 = 2).html()
setOutput(html)
Let’s break down our added test. What is being done here?
We are defining a string called
html that we will use to render our output on screen. Then we create an object
mySmartContract instance of the class
MyClass, that is derived of
sp.Contract type. This is how we enable the class to be effectively transformed in a Tezos smart contract. This derivation construct, and the constructor and initialization, are all pure standard Python syntax.
Also, the
@ above method/functions declarations are Python decorators, used to guide the compiler for certain actions. They are what is called syntactic sugar, which offers a convenient way to add a little bit of magic to the function definition. You can think of it as a function which transforms the Python function you write into another Python function.
For example, the
sp.entryPoint is a function that takes a Python function and transforms it into one that will become the actual Michelson entry point.
Now, try to run the code again and see what happens. You should get a result as follows:
If you got errors, first check if your code has been incorrectly indented. Usually, you have to indent the code with four spaces or TAB. Also, check the logical indentation, i.e. which definition belongs to each parent declaration.
This first example is a smart contract that sums two numbers passed by parameter to the method
myEntryPoint of the class
myClass and puts the result on the storage
result of the contract.
To make it easier to understand and test, below is the full commented code:
This is a very brief first contact with the SmartPy environment to make you familiar with it. As we progress with future pieces, we will work on more real world use cases.

Progressive Web Apps are fast becoming a major deployment target. Recent releases like the the Starbucks PWA provide validation that progressive web apps have arrived. Because Ionic is built on the web, Ionic apps can work anywhere the web runs, including as a PWA. In today’s post, we will go over exactly what a PWA is and how to deploy your next Ionic app as a PWA!!
First, let’s briefly define what a PWA is. We’ll go with Google’s official definition on this one: native app on the device, with an immersive user experience.
This new level of quality allows Progressive Web Apps to earn a place on the user’s home screen.
Before we cover how to transform your Ionic app into a PWA, let’s answer some of the most common questions people have about PWAs:
Do PWAs only work on mobile? Or desktop?
Both, it’s just a web app, so it should look good anywhere the web runs! And with Ionic 3 and above, the grid system will work beautifully on any size screen.
Will PWAs kill native apps?
No, there are use-cases for both. For example, does a conference need an installable app? Or would they convert better if the users could get the same experience through a website? Probably the latter as you would not want to go through the process of installing an app just to use it for a limited time. PWAs are what you are looking for when you want to give users an instant experience as nothing is faster than just clicking on a link. Have a more in-depth experience that is possibly using features not yet found on the web? Then a native app is probably what you need. Ionic has your back no matter what platform you want to deploy to, all from one single codebase!
What is this Service Worker thing?
Service workers are scripts the browser runs in the background, separate from a web page, that allow us to implement features such as push notifications, background sync, dynamic caching of assets and more!
There’s support for a bunch of other stuff coming, in the mean time, you can check out:
- What Web Can Do Today to see what behaviors are supported.
- is Service Worker ready? to see the browser support.
A couple of things to note about Service Workers:
- They are JavaScript Workers, so they cannot access the DOM directly. Instead, a service worker can communicate with the pages it controls by responding to messages sent via the postMessage interface, and those pages can manipulate the DOM if needed.
It is terminated when not in use and restarted when it is next needed, so you cannot rely on global state within a service worker’s
onfetchand
onmessagehandlers. But, if there is information that you need to persist and reuse across restarts, service workers do have access to the IndexedDB API.
Service Workers make extensive use of promises, so if you are new to promises, I recommend checking out this excellent blog post.
They only run on HTTPS connections. During development you will be able to use service worker through
localhost, but to deploy it on a site you will need to have HTTPS setup on your server. This is because using a service worker you can hijack connections, fabricate, and filter responses. Powerful stuff. So you might use that stuff to better your app, but a man-in-the-middle attack might not.
How do I create links? After all, it is a web app.
Ionic has an impressive deep-linking feature that works great with PWAs. Also, with the update to Ionic-angular 3, they created an
IonicPage module which lets us add, among other things, a static (or dynamic) URL for pages.
This means that users can easily share that URL and anyone they share it too will be taken right to the page they were on!
PWA, here we come!
Transforming an Ionic Framework app into a PWA is not easy, it is hard work, but we are going to go through every step here. First, go into
src/index.html and find the below commented out script that enables the service worker and uncomment it:
<script> if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js') .then(() => console.log('service worker installed')) .catch(err => console.log('Error', err)); } </script>
And that is it. You now have a PWA. Did you believe me when I said it was hard? 😛
I am not kidding, that is all you need to do to go from web app to PWA. You can then deploy your app to a server and immediately access it from your browser. Now, remember to put on your new PWA champion badge!
Further Optimizations
Let’s do some other tweaks to remove unnecessary things. These steps aren’t necessary but are good to do if you are deploying your app only as a PWA.
Currently, right above that service worker script is the script to call
cordova.js. If you are only going to run the app as a PWA and not a cordova app, go ahead and comment it out.
<!-- cordova.js required for cordova apps --> <!--<script src="cordova.js"></script>-->
If your only deploying this as a PWA you can go inside
app.component.ts, and remove the platform and plugin calls:
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { TabsPage } from '../pages/tabs/tabs'; @Component({ templateUrl: 'app.html' }) export class MyApp { rootPage: any = TabsPage; constructor() {} }
You can also go into the
app.module.ts file and remove the imports for the StatusBar and SplashScreen plugins.
Web Manifest and Service Worker
The web manifest and Service Worker are what officially make our app a PWA. Let’s take a look at these two features.
Let’s examine the web manifest and the service worker to see what’s going on. First, open
src/manifest.json
{ "name": "Ionic", "short_name": "Ionic", "start_url": "index.html", "display": "standalone", "icons": [{ "src": "assets/imgs/logo.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" }], "background_color": "#4e8ef7", "theme_color": "#4e8ef7" }
This is the standard web manifest that comes with the app. Let’s go through each option:
"name": "Ionic",=> This is the name of our application.
"short_name": "Ionic",=> This is our short name, used when there’s not enough space for the name. It is most commonly used when the user adds the application to the home screen.
"start_url": "index.html",=> This is the URL the app is going to open to.
"display": "fullscreen",=> Defines the developer’s preferred display mode for the web application. When using
fullscreenall of the available display area is used, and no browser chrome is shown.
- The
iconsobject lets you set the icons your app will use depending on the resolution of the screen. The highest resolution icon (512×512) will also be shown on the splash screen of the application
"icons": [{ "src": "assets/imgs/logo.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" }]
"background_color": "#4e8ef7",=> Defines the expected background color for the web application.
"theme_color": "#4e8ef7"=> Defines the default theme color for an application. This will affect things such as the notification bar color on Android.
Make sure to add your preferred logo to
src/assets/img/logo.png. This is the logo the PWA will display when the user adds it to the home screen, and it will show it on the splash screen when the user opens the app through the homescreen or app drawer in Android.
For a list of all the properties, you can check out this section of the MDN docs
Now let’s check out the
src/service-worker.js file:
'use strict'; importScripts('./build/sw-toolbox.js'); self.toolbox.options.cache = { name: 'ionic-cache' }; // pre-cache our key assets self.toolbox.precache( [ './build/main.js', './build/main.css', './build/polyfills.js', 'index.html', 'manifest.json' ] ); // dynamically cache any other local assets self.toolbox.router.any('/*', self.toolbox.cacheFirst); // for any other requests go to the network, cache, // and then only use that cached resource if your user goes offline self.toolbox.router.default = self.toolbox.networkFirst;
This is the default service worker setup that Ionic uses. This setup will pre-cache all of your static assets ensuring that your app loads reliably and fast under any network condition.
Deploying
Now it is time to get everything ready for deploy, we want to minify, uglify, and other-fy words you can think of. Ionic will do all the hard work for us, we just need to open up the terminal and run:
npm run ionic:build -- --prod
That command will activate Angular’s production mode, and run a full production build so you can get the smallest bundle possible.
It will take a while, especially the first time you run it, but it is worth it. Once it is finished you can upload your www directory to whichever hosting service you prefer.
Just like that, we took our existing Ionic app and made it into a PWA! Because Ionic is built completely using web technologies, we can deploy our app to cordova and as a PWA using the same codebase. Also, we are working on making this process even better, including completely automating our service worker setup using the CLI. The future is awesome! | https://blog.ionic.io/how-to-make-pwas-with-ionic/ | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | refinedweb | 1,548 | 64.3 |
OBJECTIVES
- Receive calls and SMS.
- Identify who calls us
- Show the SMS on the serial monitor.
BILL OF MATERIALS
Receiving calls
We saw in the previous session how to connect and start the GPRS module, and if someone tried at that time to call the card that we have placed in the SIM900, you will have seen how it gives tone normally.
However, you will not have seen anything that indicates that you are receiving a call, although if you look we will see how one of the LEDs on the card goes off while it is received. So what we’re going to do is let us know by the serial monitor when you receive them.
In principle the only difference to reach the loop will be that we declare a global variable of type char to save the characters that come from the SIM900.
char incoming_char = 0; // Variable to save the characters sent by the SIM900
In the loop we will check that characters are being sent from the SIM900 and we will show them through the serial monitor.
void loop() { if (SIM900.available() > 0) { incoming_char = SIM900.read(); //Save the character that arrives from the SIM900 Serial.print(incoming_char); //Save the character that arrives from the SIM900 } }
If we try to make a call to the number you have on the SIM900 card you will see that the serial monitor will show the word “RING”, once for each tone, and it will end with a “NO CARRIER”.
But many times it can be very useful to know who is calling us to, for example, take an action only if you call us a certain number (which we will see in the next session). For this we will use the command “AT + CLIP = 1 \ r”. If we want to deactivate it we only have to return it to 0. And with this we would have the complete program to receive calls.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial SIM900(7, 8); //10 and 11 for the Mega Arduino. Configure the serial port for the SIM900 char incoming_char = 0; // Variable to store the characters sent by the SIM900 void setup() { //digitalWrite(9, HIGH); // Uncomment to activate the power of the card by Software //digitalWrite(9, LOW); delay (5000); // Wait some time to turn on the GPRS and power the card SIM900.begin(19200); // Set serial port speed for the SIM900 Serial.begin(19200); // Set the serial port speed of the Arduino Serial.println("OK"); delay (1000); SIM900.println("AT + CPIN = \"XXXX\""); // AT command to enter the card PIN delay(25000); //Time to find the network Serial.println("PIN OK"); SIM900.print("AT+CLIP=1\r"); // Activate the call identification. delay(1000); } void loop() { if (SIM900.available() > 0) { incoming_char = SIM900.read(); //Save character from SIM900 Serial.print(incoming_char); //Show it in the serial monitor } }
RECEIVING SMS
To receive SMS messages correctly, we only have to include a couple of AT commands in the setup. We already know it from the previous session, which configures the module to be able to send and receive SMS “AT + CMGF = 1 \ r”. And we will also include the command “AT + CNMI = 2,2,0,0,0 \ r” which configures it so that it sends us the serial SMS messages that arrive to us.
So the complete program to receive calls and SMS would look like this:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial SIM900(7, 8); //Configure serial port. 10 and 11 for Arduino Mega char incoming_char = 0; //Variable to store incoming characters from SIM900 void setup() { //digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //Uncomment to activate software power on //delay(1000); //digitalWrite(9, LOW); delay (5000); // Wait some time to turn on the GPRS and power the card SIM900.begin(19200); // Set serial port speed for SIM900 Serial.begin(19200); // Set serial port speed for Arduino Serial.println("OK"); delay (1000); SIM900.println("AT + CPIN = \"XXXX\""); //Comando AT para introducir el PIN de la tarjeta delay(25000); //Time to find Network Serial.println("PIN OK"); SIM900.print("AT+CLIP=1\r"); // Activate the identification of calls delay(1000); SIM900.print("AT+CMGF=1\r"); // Set the text mode to send or receive messages delay(1000); SIM900.print("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0\r"); // Configure the module to show us the SMS received by serial communication delay(1000); } void loop() { if (SIM900.available() > 0) { incoming_char = SIM900.read(); // Store the character that arrives from the SIM900 Serial.print(incoming_char); // Show the character in the serial monitor } }
And when we receive a message we will be shown by the serial monitor both the number from which it is sent and the content of the SMS, with the date and time of sending. And if we look, unlike the calls, the number will come with the international prefix, in my case the +34 that belongs to Spain.
You can download the full program here: receive_call and SMS.
In the next session we will use what we have learned so that our Arduino can contact us if necessary, and to make certain orders using calls and SMS, and making sure that he only responds to us. In it you will find a more worked program in which, among other things, we are going to use a function to send the AT commands and make sure that the module response is what we are looking for.
Resumen de la sesión
In this session we have learned several important things:
- How to receive calls and SMS and display them through the serial port.
- To identify who is calling us.
- We already know how to receive and send calls and SMS.

What does the & operator in c++ do (as opposed to the && operator?)
There are two different uses for the & operator. It is a bitwise and as well as the reference operator.
Is it in a piece of code that you are confused over or something?

One difficulty arising from this feature is a namespace collision. This is most evident when dealing with two replies to the same parent writeup, but it could occur with identically named top-level postings as well. How do you refer to a writeup by name when that name occurs multiple times in the database?
I see five possible solutions. Three are behavioral and two are technical.
spudzeppelin has come up with a unique way to handle threading and sorting. Give each writeup a new 8-digit number corresponding to its place in the nesting hierarchy. The first post would be 00000000. The first reply would be 00000000x00000001, and so on. Replies inherit and extend parent threading number information. (If you're concerned about taking up space in the database, simply pack the numbers.) Sorting into a threaded model is a snap -- instead of having to create a tree, you can simply use a numerical sort to arrange things correctly. However, if you prefer to sort by score, this won't work for you.
A similar option is to implement some sort of DOM-like model which applies to posts. You might be able to link to The Threading Dilemma:1:2 for the second reply to the first reply. (Again, your sorting order will affect this.)
After considering this, I consider the first to be the simplest and most effective. Though I have been prepending my username to my replies, I don't think it solves the underlying problem. If an XML interface to the Everything Engine becomes practical in the next year or two, hopefully the discussion will move from 'ease of displaying information within HTML limitations' to 'properly marking up data for user-determined display in XML clients', and we can be more efficient with both server resources and our own time.
Are there other solutions? Are there benefits and drawbacks I've overlooked? What do you prefer?
Would this be practical? I'm not sure how the architecture
of perlmonks would make this easy/hard. Personally I think the [last-node]
has the most potential, simply view the page you want to
comment on, then go to the discussion and paste it in.
-Mark
I like this, but I'd suggest simpler macros:
[here]
[top] or [parent]
[download]
When the day is over, I would prefer to just extend the existing id system, which guarantees uniqueness but doesn't expose itself sufficiently to users wanting to fully utilize it. And like I've said here and before, a good searching facility would be immensely helpful for this purpose and others.
I do, however, think the current node_id
system works very cleanly most of the time. There are a few
situations (like right after submitting a post) where it is
more difficult to find the node id, but [id://123456]
is the only internal linking method I use, anymore. It is
clean, almost always easy (just look in the location bar,
or mouse-over a link to get the lastnode_id) and precise.
There are certain situations where the id:// method does
actually convert to the full
<nobr><a href=index.pl?node_id=12345></nobr>,
so I imagine c-era's suggestion would be easiest to
implement.
I think I would encourage our fearless leader to
address this issue, because the
"add-my-name-to-the-title-just-to-make-it-unique" thing only
serves to clutter, not clarify. kudra first posted her
titling method to encourage us to make titles more
informative. How much does it help you to read in Newest
Nodes <nobr>"(Russ) Re: Threading"?</nobr>
If the site could address the underlying problem causing us
to do this, I think we will all be well-served.

I really like the idea of having [title] resolved to ID number at "post" time and ambiguities prompting a list, though I'm sure this would need to be optional to avoid becoming annoying for some situations and some people. My idea of this is having "Submit" and "Preview" do this, placing the modified HTMLish into the text box, so a subsequent "Submit" or "New" will have the ID numbers. Ambiguities would show as radio buttons under the text area. So if you don't want to use this feature, just ignore it and don't resubmit. But I understand this could be some work so I won't expect it soon. A radio button for "quote the [ and ]" (making it not a link), would be nice, especially when no match is found.
But even more than that, I really, really like replacing the current "Re: Re: Re: Re:" with "Re02.01.03: " for the third reply to the first reply to the second reply to the original question. In the rare cases of more than 99 replies, a third digit would be prepended which would mess up the sorting order unless extra work was done (which I wouldn't consider worth it).
Then, once we have that, the "In reply to:" links would be done so that "Re02.01.03: Hi" is "In reply to: [Re][02.][01: Hi]" where "01: Hi" is the regular "parent" link, "02." is a link to "Re02: Hi" ("grandparent"), and "Re" is a link to the original question ("Hi"). I'm constantly jumping to a new node and deciding I'd like to jump up the hierarchy three steps but dislike the extra clicks and pauses required.
The rest of the options I either didn't like, didn't understand, or didn't really care one way or the other about.
I
I like CTFT, at least when you are moving the discussion in a new direction. But the problem with it is that it usually means (based on the little experience I've had with perlmonks) that the title doesn't reflect what it was in response to. But this is only a problem in places that don't show an "In reply to" item, such as in "Newest node" (where I most dislike CTFT).
So I support CTFT (in many cases) but heavier use of it would make me push for addition of "in reply to" columns in several places.:
Replies:
[Deep Linkage]:
[Yeah but I think...]
[Happy birthday!]
[Arrays in Hashes]:
[Use it like this:]
[No no no...]

Which would be much more sensible (you could even space the replies, and

Using Underminer Studios’ MR Configurator Tool to Make Mixed Reality VR Videos
Atualizado
Written by: Timothy Porter, Underminer Studios LLC
Edited by: Alexandria Porter, Underminer Studios LLC
I am Timothy Porter, a pipeline technical artist and efficiency expert. I create unified systems that promote faster, more intuitive, and collaborative workflows for creative projects. With more than nine years in the entertainment industry, a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Animation, and a sharp mind for technical details, I have used lessons learned from early-career gaming roles to develop methodologies for streamlining pipelines, optimizing multiple platforms, and creating tools that make teams stronger and more efficient. I own an outsourcing and bleeding edge tech company, Underminer Studios.
Overview
This article will teach you how to identify VR applications that are mixed reality (MR) ready, and how to enable MR mode in your Unity* VR applications. By the end of this article you will be able to calibrate your experience to have the cleanest and most accurate configuration possible to make MR green screen videos. Since green screen MR can be useful to both developers and content creators (like streamers or YouTubers), the information in this article will be presented from both a developer and a user perspective. Keep that in mind; some of the information might be more than what is needed for a content creator to begin working in MR immediately. Please reference the section titles as guides to locate relevant information for your purposes. The process of getting an MR experience set up for the first time was a painful and tedious process, until now. Underminer Studios has created the Underminer Studios MR Configurator Tool to smooth the process.
Underminer Studios’ MR Configurator Tool
This tool was designed to speed up calibration of your MR setup. This article explains how to use the tool and help you get the most out of your MR experiences. For VR users and streamers, making MR videos is a great way to show a different perspective to people who aren’t wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), while for VR developers, MR videos are a great way to create trailers and show a more comprehensive view of the VR experience.
How does the Underminer Studios MR Configurator Tool help?
This tool will automate the configuration of the controller/camera offset, reducing the time massively, compared to the difficult manual process of camera alignment. Without this helper utility, you start with a blank externalcamera.cfg file, and manually adjust x, y, and z offset values to align the virtual camera with the real one. Every time you make a change you must shut down the application and restart it, then check alignment, hoping that your configuration is correct, and repeat as necessary. This is a tedious and imprecise process. Our helper utility streamlines and automates this alignment process and makes it much easier to calibrate your MR setup. Download and install the executable, then download and follow the documentation in the read me guide.
Though we had many use cases in mind to appeal to a broad audience, inevitably with developers there are always new, uncharted needs. We plan to update the tool periodically, and if you have ideas to improve the tool, please email us at info@underminerstudios.com.
How to use the MR Configurator tool
There is a handy dandy information file that covers, step-by-step, how to do the application setup; it is included in the MrSetUp.pdf file. A direct link is also provided with your install.
What is Mixed Reality?
In this case, mixed reality refers to a person on a green screen background, layered into video from an MR-enabled VR application. This is a great way to show people outside the VR headset what’s happening in the world within. A user can share their VR experience with others and can help create a more social gaming environment. Once you have a VR application that supports MR, all you need is a suitable camera, some green screen material, and an extra Vive* controller to create your very own MR VR experiences.
What’s required?
A powerful machine
Adding MR on top of VR requires a high-end system to handle the inherent stresses that these applications create. Without a powerful enough system you can encounter performance lag, which may lower your frame rate and create a less than optimal experience, especially for the user wearing the HMD. A higher-end PC is required to provide the MR experience and avoid those issues. I have provided a list below with optimal system requirements on which to run an MR experience.
An MR-enabled application
You can either take a previously made project that is MR-enabled or you can make one for yourself. We will cover both in this section.
How to tell if a VR application will work with this method
Config file
Test to see if a Unity-based VR title supports this MR mode by placing a configuration file named “externalcamera.cfg” into the same directory as the VR executable. For example, say you have a game located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\APPNAMEHERE\. Just put the file in that folder. Here is an example of a raw config file:
x=0
y=0
z= 0
rx=0
ry=0
rz=0
fov=60
near=0.01
far=1000
Note that there is almost zero chance that this will work appropriately right away. Use our application to configure, or go to the manual configuration section below and follow the instructions.
Connect a third Vive controller
Connect a third Vive controller (this controller needs to be plugged in via USB, since SteamVR* only supports two wireless controllers at a time). Launch the VR executable, and if you see a four-panel quartered view on the desktop, the app should work for this method of making MR videos. If you don’t see the four-panel quartered view, it’s likely the app wasn’t made in Unity, or doesn’t support this method of MR video. If you created the VR executable, read on for instructions on how to enable this MR mode. If it’s not your application, you will probably have to choose another application for your MR video.
Developers and Users
If you want to do MR setup inside of Unity go to the Developer section. If you want to learn how to play a readymade MR game move to the User section. First, we will cover the developer side of things, so if your goal is to make cool MR experiences, start here. Later, we will be learning the end user side of things, so if your game already has the development side configured you can start there. We are going to limit this discussion and focus on how to make MR work within Unity and the SteamVR system, since there are many ways to create multiple cameras and green screens, as well as to composite them. I will be using the HTC Vive, but I’ve seen others use the Oculus Rift* and Touch* controllers, but that’s outside the scope of this article. Let’s jump right in!
Developer side
I will show the current native SteamVR plugin method first. It takes a considerable amount of guesswork out of the system setup and provides you with a quick and high-quality MR setup. The tool provided sits on top of the current system, alleviating some of the manual or tedious sections of the process with automated or helper solutions. If at any time the specific setup or process that your project needs is not covered, there is no reason to chuck it, as the rest of the processes are perfectly self-contained.
Native (built-in) SteamVR MR overview
The team that invented this tool was quite brilliant. Using the idea of clipping planes and the location of the player, the SteamVR setup creates multiple views to allow an MR experience. If you want to use the native plugin and enable this in your game you have two separate choices: +third controller and no third controller. Both require the use of externalcamera.cfg.
Example using externalcamera.cfg
This file goes into the root of your project as externalcamera.cfg. This file tells the system in meters how far to offset the camera versus the controller.
x=0
y=0
z= 0
rx=0
ry=0
rz=0
fov=60
near=0.01
far=100
sceneResolutionScale=0.5
What setup to use?
The use of a third controller allows the user to move the camera. If you are planning to have a stationary camera see the No third controller section, below. If your game requires moving the camera, see the +third controller section, below.
No third controller—native SteamVR MR setup
- Pull in the extra controller prefab
- Set the Index of the SteamVR_Tracked Object (Script) to Device 2.
Users need to set up the externalcamera.cfg covered in the Example using externalcamera.cfg section, above.
Note: This requires always using Unity IDE unless you follow the How to not use Unity IDE section, below.
+third controller—native SteamVR MR setup
- Pull in the extra controller prefab
- Set the Index of the SteamVR_Tracked Object (Script) to Device 3.
This is simple in concept. The only thing you’ll need is the extra controller that is attached via USB to the computer playing the game.
Note: This requires always using Unity IDE unless you follow the How to not use Unity IDE section, below.
How to not use Unity IDE—native SteamVR MR setup
Both require you to make the project run within the editor. If you want to make a standalone version there is a bit of extra work to do.
- Add the “SteamVR_ExternalCamera” prefab at the root of your hierarchy.
- Drag and drop the “Controller (third)” into the [SteamVR] script “Steam VR_Render” – External Camera.
- In SteamVR_Render.cs add the following code:
void Awake() { #if (UNITY_5_3 || UNITY_5_2 || UNITY_5_1 || UNITY_5_0) var go = new GameObject("cameraMask"); go.transform.parent = transform; cameraMask = go.AddComponent<SteamVR_CameraMask>(); #endif if (System.IO.File.Exists(externalCameraConfigPath)) { { if (externalCamera == null) { var prefab = Resources.Load<GameObject>("SteamVR_ExternalCamera"); var instance = Instantiate(prefab); instance.gameObject.name = "External Camera"; } externalCamera = instance.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<SteamVR_ExternalCamera>(); externalCamera.configPath = externalCameraConfigPath; externalCamera.ReadConfig(); } }
User side
If you already have a VR-ready system you can to jump to the Running MR section, below.
System requirements
I have included both high-end (a) and low-end options (b) below.
Shopping list:
Green screen kit
a. StudioPRO* 3000W continuous output softbox lighting kit with 10ft x 12ft support system, $383.95 (or similar).
b. ePhotoInc* 6 x 9 Feet cotton chroma key backdrop, $18.99.
Extra controller
a. Vive controller, $129.99.
b. This solution does not need an extra controller, but if you aren’t the developer who created the game, you must keep the camera stationary and do some workarounds as discussed below.
Camera
a. Panasonic* HC-V770 with accessory kit, $499.99 (or similar camera with HDMI out for the live camera view; a DSLR or mirrorless digital camera will probably work, but be aware that their sensors are not designed to be run for long periods of time and can overheat).
Video capture card
a. Magewell* XI100DUSB-HDMI USB capture HDMI 3.0 - $299.00 (or similar HDMI capture device.
Computer
a. You’ve probably already got a VR-capable PC if you’re reading this. Beyond the minimum VR spec, you’ll need a system with enough power to handle the extra work you’re going to ask it to do (running the quartered view at 4x the resolution you intend to record, plus doing the layer capture, green screen chroma key, and MR compositing). A high end, sixth-gen or later Intel® Core™ i7 processor (for example, 7700K or similar) is recommended.
4K Monitor
a. Because of the way MR captures the quartered view window, you’ll want to be able to run that window at 4x the resolution of the final video output. This means you need to be able to run that window at 1440p resolution if you want to record at 720p, since you’re only capturing a quarter of the window at a time. If you want to record at 1080p, you’ll need to run the window at 2160p. For that, you’re going to want a monitor that can handle those resolutions; probably 4K or higher.
A little more about some of the options
Green screen
You could use outdoor carpet (like AstroTurf*) as a backdrop. It looks like it gets decent results and it should last for a very long time, but anything in a single color should work just fine. Green is recommended, as most systems (OBS*, or the screen capture provided for this tutorial) utilize green as a cut-out or chroma key.
Controller
If the project was not set up appropriately and requires an extra controller, there is a possible solution involving faking the third controller in software. Using this option is outside the realm of this article, but if you want to try it out you can learn more here.
Camera
There is a HUGE difference if you go with a real camera versus a webcam. Without being as expensive as a pro camcorder, some great things have come out of the camcorder option listed above. If you use a still camera (DSLR or mirrorless), be aware that their sensors are often not designed to be run constantly due to heat; this is why they often have a 20 or 30 minute limit on video recording. Be careful so you don’t harm your equipment.
Video capture card
If you are using an external camera, a capture card is required to get the HDMI output of the camera to appear as a usable source to the PC. The one listed above uses USB and is a great all-around capture card. Compared to having an internal card that is tied to a system, the best part of the USB capture card is portability. To do an onsite with publishers, clients, or other developers you can just throw it in a bag, send them a build, and show everyone in the room what is going on in the game. It will allow you to convey the information and ideas quickly.
Computer
The project we are doing is computationally intensive, so CPU choice is very important. A modern, high-end Intel Core i7 processor, like a 7700K, is well-suited to a project like this because many of the processes are single-thread intensive (like the compositor from SteamVR) and the high single-core performance will really help. Using a quad core or higher CPU can really help with the work of capturing, compositing, and recording your MR video.
Running MR—setup
To view the setup, you only need the .cfg file below, and a game that allows the use of MR. Some of these games include Fantastic Contraption* and Job Simulator*, Space Pirate Trainer*, Zen Blade*, Tilt Brush*, and many more.
Only after fulfilling these two requirements will the setup view appear:
- Add a file called externalcamera.cfg in the root of your project.
- Have a third controller that is plugged into your system.
Running MR—step by step
Note: These steps will not align the experience with the real world until you configure the .cfg file using the steps below.
Turn off SteamVR
If you have SteamVR on it will have issues with the further processes so it’s best to turn it off. As well, if you run into issues later, a restart will always help.
Put an externalcamera.cfg file into the root of your project
Next, you will need to put the file in the correct location at the root of your project. If you find that your project doesn’t show a four-panel quartered screen, then you will want to verify that root location, after you check the controller.
Set up your green screen and lights
You will be compositing people into the VR environment. To do this correctly you will need to have a green screen setup to cut the person out of the real world and put them into the VR world.
Connect your camera to your computer / capture card
The extra overhead of running VR and MR at the same time almost necessitates having a capture card instead of only using a web cam. Also, a capture card lets you pull in video from a secondary camera.
Affix your controller to your camera
The system always needs to locate the camera and the way we do that is by having the system track the Vive controller. The config file above provides offset and camera information to the system based on the Vive controller’s location in relation to the camera that is attached. The tighter the controller is the better.
Unplug any controllers that are attached to your system
SteamVR gets confused during this process. If you get into the project and realize that the third camera is attached to the wrong controller, unplug the third controller and plug it back in. This should solve the issue.
Turn on SteamVR
Now that this is ready we should to tell SteamVR to get going.
Turn on the two controllers not attached to the camera
We only want to turn on the controllers that aren’t attached so they get to the correct places in the SteamVR handset slots. This is a crucial step, so please do this. I also recommend waving the controllers directly at a lighthouse.
Plug into the system the controller that is attached to the camera
Now that Steam knows where the first two controllers are you can plug in the third controller. As stated before, if you get into the project and realize that the third camera is attached to the wrong controller, unplug the third controller and plug it back in.
Shift and double-mouse click your game of choice
This allows you to open the project at the highest resolution. For some reason SteamVR also gives preferential treatment to admin-running applications, so this should help.
Choose the desired resolution (4x the resolution at which you want to record)
This is where a 4K or higher monitor comes in handy. Since you’re only capturing one-fourth of the window (and compositing multiple layers), you’ll need to choose the correct window size here. If you want to record at 720p, choose 2560 x 1440. If you want to record at 1080p, choose 3840 x 2160. You might have to try different recording resolutions, depending on your system performance and the desired quality of the recording.
Open OBS or XSplit*
Now we are moving on to the live compositing section of the article. Either of these programs are tested to do MR compositing, although there are others out there that might work as well.
Add a cut of the upper-left corner and use the upper-right corner as the alpha; label this layer “Foreground”
This is the part we will composite over people. If you don’t have time to match up the handsets exactly to the VR space, choose a skin for your controller that uses large symbols. This will hide the fact that everything isn’t exactly matched up. Here is a how-to which showcases exactly how to change your controller skins in SteamVR.
Add the video stream from your camera and clear out the background with a chroma filter; label this “Live”
Putting the live person into the VR environment is the most crucial part of this project. Depending on the program you are using there are a multitude of ways that you can do this. Below is a screenshot for XSplit showcasing that you could also color key out a layer, which will remove a single color from the image.
Add the bottom left; label this layer “Background”
We will put this layer in the bottom position in whichever program you are using to composite with. If the background isn’t visible, repeat the step above.
Turn off your game and configure the config file
To make the config file, either use our tool outlined in the beginning of this article, or follow the section below. A word of warning: Manual configuration is not only difficult to get right, it’s also a very slow and laborious task. Every time there is a change made you need to restart your program. The average time for setup is about one hour. We have reduced the process to three minutes on average using the MR Configurator tool. It is also more accurate, since the long setup time usually causes people to give up before the config is perfect.
How to manually calculate the information in externalcamera.cfg
x=0
y=0
z= 0
rx=0
ry=0
rz=0
fov=60
near=0.01
far=100
sceneResolutionScale=0.5
Configuring
Note: Remember that you can use our tool to skip this entire section.
Field of view (FOV) – This must be the vertical FOV
FOV is the hardest one in the setup; find this out first. Most camera manufacturers provide the FOV values of the camera, but this is not the vertical FOV. Most of these techniques come from the camera world. Here is an article on how to find the FOV.
Note: The FOV of a camera is dependent on the focal length. Once you have your settings, do not zoom in or out on your camera!
Rotation
RX, RY, RZ—these are the rotational angles. 0,0,0 would be if the handset was level with the camera. Y+ is up, Z+ is forward, with X+ to the left. As a note, these are in degrees.
Distance
X, Y, and Z should be done using a tape measure. Remember, these numbers will be in meters.
Test
Open your game and with OBS or XSplit running, see if things line up. If not, shut down your game and try again.
Troubleshooting
If your system or game lags, options include lowering the canvas size, lowering the frame rate, using the GPU to encode video, or recording only without streaming. These could also make things worse, depending on the game and your system. With so many different variations to choose from it seems impractical to give profiles. To change these manually do the following:
Lower canvas size
Lower frame rate—be careful here; this can introduce further choppiness if below 24
Render using the GPU
Record only; do not stream

Java uses the following Numeric Promotion Rules when applying operators to data types:
For the third rule, unary operators are excluded from this rule.
For example, applying ++ to a short value results in a short value.
What is the data type of x * y?
int x = 1; long y = 2;
Follow the first rule.
Since one of the values is long and the other is int, and long is larger than int, then the int value is promoted to a long, and the resulting value is long.
What is the data type of x + y?
double x = 3.21; float y = 2.1;
double? Wrong! This code will not compile! The floating-point literals are assumed to be double, unless postfixed with an f.
We can rewrite the code as
double x = 3.21; float y = 2.1f;
If the value was to 2.1f, then the promotion with both operands being promoted to a double, and the result would be a double value.
What is the data type of x / y?
short x = 10; short y = 3;
Follow the third rule, namely that x and y will both be promoted to int before the operation, resulting in an output of type int.
The result is not double.
public class Main { static public void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { short x = 10; short y = 3; System.out.println(x / y); } }
The code above generates the following result.
What is the data type of x * y / z?
short x = 4; float y = 3; double z = 3;
For the first rule,
x will be promoted to int because it is a
short and
it is being used in an arithmetic binary operation.
The promoted x value will then be promoted to a
float so that it can be
multiplied with y.
The result of x * y will then be automatically promoted to a double, so that it can be multiplied with z, resulting in a double value. | http://www.java2s.com/Tutorials/Java/OCA_Java_SE_8_Operators_Statements/0020__Java_Numeric_Promotion.htm | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | refinedweb | 325 | 74.49 |

Manager: So, what technology are we using for web apps?
Me: TypeScript.
Manager: What is TypeScript?
Me: It's a superset of JavaScript.
Manager: Oh I know JavaScript, it's the latest version of Java, right?
Me thinking: He is joking. He tries to be the fun guy. Everyone knows the Java-JavaScript, ham-hamster joke.
Me later, also thinking: No he is not joking. Oh God, this is the end. We are all f*cked!8

When you spend longer trying to work out why your background <div> refuses to cover the entire page, than you spent coding an entire user-authentication system in TypeScript for Angular 2.
- Without the method names as a context clue l, could you tell if this was JavaScript or C#.!i think generic types will be the next addition to JavaScript as are already present in typescript so we might see JavaScript becoming quite more robust :)4

- "I'm too freaking lazy to learn to write good JavaScript so I'm gonna build a top-language with types, and then a compiler so it transpiles TypeScript to JavaScript and runs my app on the interpreted language it was at first. I'm gonna save so much time" - 2017 people just bought the game screeps () and am gonna use typescript. Should I or should I not add this on my CV as side project?5
- I mostly work in Java as a backend developer, but lately I started a frontend side project in Angular. Man, Typescript and SASS are awesome! Totally love it :)2

- I admit i don't like JavaScript... not one bit and mainly because it is not strongly typed. The idea of Typescript is interesting.
Anyways, i decided to jump in and learn Angular... So do you guys have any advice for me?10

I must say, as a Java developer: Why have I only found this now??
Granted, I have only played around with it for one day.1

- Today was my first internship day in a web dev agency. One of the developer ask me to use express and make a rest API with typescript to jauge my knowledge.
I create the project, add dependencies (express, morgan, typescript, bodyparser and they typescript definitions...) and worked till the afternoon. I pushed my code into their gitlab repository.
Some minute later:
- (the dev): The code you wrote is not working at all
- (me): what ?
- (the dev): yeah, it throw with an error (SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
)
- (me: I've check again on my computer and it work perfectly, I watch his screen and see): ```node server.ts```
- (me):(thinking wtf ) Did you convert the typescipt into javascript ?
- (the dev): what ? I use typescript all the day with angular and Ionic. you don't have to tell me how to run typescript code.
- (me): actually, you must convert the typescript code into js before running it with nodejs. I have created a cmd in the package.json file to do it (show him the script and run ```yarn build``` and the code run successfully).
- (the dev): Hum! in fact I thought that nodejs in they latest version support typescript code.
-(me): no, I don't think so
So It was my first day of internship in the agency. (me showing to the one who was suppose to teach me some thing that he must covert a typescript code into js before running it )3
- Most popular programming languages.
It's just funny they used different images for the language specially for Swift, Typescript, C# and specially Python
-.
- There's plenty of literature about how to emulate classes and interfaces flawlessly in JS even without es6, but no, let's make a separate language using 20 extra keywords and several unnecessary concepts called TypeScript with its own compiler.13
- That moment when I keep on typing int instead of number in typescript T_T
Too much errors thrown at my face XD1
- I'm a node JS developer, but I basically don't use Typescript but with the whole buzz around the technology, I feel I'm doing something wrong by not using Typescript and refusing to learn it. What do you think?5
- Typescript: All of your javascript code is valid typescript
Installs Typescript
runs typescript
Typescript: line x in function y has an error
Checking the function for error and the code is fine
After wasting an hour comment out all the linez in function y
Run typescript
Typescript: you have an error on line x which is commented in function y
ERROR IN A COMMENTED LINE :(4
- Angular 2 is really, really satisfying me. Such a very clean and smart way to organize web functionality! And es2015 + typescript is sooo nice to work with.2

- Why developer of c# (Anders Hejlsberg) when developing (TypeScript) not implemented method overloading and interfaces' methods implementation with same names.3

- I just got done learning Python and can do some stuff with it, and would like to move on to JavaScript.
Any good places to start? Right now I got a free starter course for it on Udemy and have been messing around on Sololearn and FreeCodeCamp. I'm looking for decent introductory points/books/tutorials that could help me get a better introduction of the language.8

resultSelector?: (outerValue: T, innerValue: I, outerIndex: number, innerIndex: number) => R
): OperatorFunction<T, I|R> {
return mergeMap(project, resultSelector, 1);

That is just fucking definition, no execution code inside1
- Attempting a huge undertaking. I'm trying to convert a large JavaScript library, written in standard ES5 syntax, to Typescript with ES6 syntax. Turns out it's extremely difficult, but if I can finish this it will be 100% worth it3
- Fuck that piece of shit typescript!!!
Ever since I picked it up I have more problems with it, than it actually solves...
1. So you want to use that 3rd party library? No problem, just use typescript special import syntax.
- yeah, I do, it doesn’t work that way, but works with es6 import even if you fucking show me that damn error.
2. Want to use map? No problem, we have an interface for it and you treat it as an object.
- oh yeah? And how about fucking more user friendly approach: {key: value}? Why the fuck do I need to create a fucking instance and then use a fucking set method for each value?
3. Want to access value from native dom element? Sorry, but you need to define type yourself.
- fuck you7
- Hey so this just came up and i have no idea how could i ddg this so ill just ask here.
I know you can use namespace{} in typescript but is there something similar in js (es6)? We are making a game and the variable names are getting scarce so it would be nice if we could like menu.offset or something. I know static variables in classes are a thing but im asking about namespace-y stuff here?2
- I think about learning a lisp-family-language , but since there are plenty of them, I don't know which one to choose.
I've mostly coded in Go or typescript before.
Can any of you give me an advice with which one to start ?2

There's a question I've got about this. Right now I am using a PHP router file dealing with requests and selecting the right .js file and compresses it. So I can write like modular JavaScript functions and include them when needed.
My question is, what do I have to change in my setup to switch to the mentioned technologies?11

I've done some reading and a simple intro course but I'm still on the fence, what pushed you over the edge to adopt it?4
- Microsoft for creating typescript, and google for maintaining angular and forcing people to learn typescript before learning dog shit angular10
- My colleagues want to forbid the usage of the shorthand constructor in TypeScript.
I feel strongly about this.
At least they find it annoying that I call the more verbose one "PHP-style constructor" :D

- I'll preface this by saying that TypeScript is a beautiful language.
But also UTTERLY INCOMPLETE.
Here's what I'm trying to do: give the compiler well-defined contextual type information for a decorator's argument (a lambda signature) and for the decorated class method, so the user would not have to toil and type every single argument.
But does that happen? No.
I'm honestly disappointed
- The Travis build is failing at the tests, despite them working for me 🤔.
Seems to be some issue with TypeScripts "baseUrl" and "paths".
- I just want to use Jest to unit test my Typescript classes, but that appears to be impossible!
Testing the compiled Javascript instead doesn't seem to recognize any classname at all :(
- Cool, typescript is shitting out the wrong type signature for an explicitly defined array, but has the correct one for my Array.from meme.

Abstract:
Users of Internet messaging services that are initially identified using
separate identifiers that may be associated with respective service
providers (e.g., email addresses) can manage network identities using a
single unified set of account information managed by a registry service.
When a second user wishes to communicate with a first user, the second
user provides any service provider identity that is believed to be
associated with the first user to determine if the specified service
provider identity appears to match the intended subscriber. If so, the
second user may specify a nickname (unique to the second subscriber but
not necessarily globally unique) to be associated internally within the
registry with the internal unique identifier of the first subscriber as
part of the second subscriber's user record.
Claims:
1. A method of providing a global name space to subscribers of a
registry, comprising: associating, in a first user record associated with
a first subscriber, (1) a first service provider identity of the first
subscriber and (2) a first unique identifier internal to the registry;
querying the registry to determine if the first service provider identity
is stored within the registry; associating, in a second user record
associated with a second subscriber, (1) a nickname for the first
subscriber and (2) the first unique identifier internal to the registry
without exposing the first unique identifier to the second subscriber.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, querying the registry on behalf of the second subscriber for at least one service provider identity of the first subscriber using the nickname stored in the second user record.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/071,600, filed Feb. 22, 2008, which claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 60/903,306 entitled "Network Identity Management System and Method," filed on Feb. 26, 2007, U.S. Patent Application No. 60/903,303 entitled "System and Method for Providing Identity-Based Services," filed on Feb. 26, 2007, and U.S. Application No. 61/006,544 entitled "Network Identity Management System and Method," filed on Jan. 18, 2008. The entire contents of those applications are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] The present invention is directed to a method and system for managing network identities using an identity registry.
DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND
[0003] A number of on-line communication protocols exist that enable users to create network identities and communicate with each other. For example, on the Internet, MICROSOFT MESSENGER messaging service, AOL INSTANT MESSENGER messaging service, SKYPE messaging service, and GOOGLETALK messaging service each provide some level of communication between their users as well as some presence information. However, communication between these competing systems has often been problematic. For example, these applications each maintain their own namespaces, even though they may support identical modes of communication (voice, say, or text IM), and they generally do not interoperate.
[0004] Some attempts have been made to utilize services or protocols that interconnect the separate services such that communication can be made between services. TRILLIAN messaging service and JABBER messaging service are attempts that have been made to allow inter-service communication with limited success. Moreover, the management of user identities is still not yet truly unified.

[0013] FIG. 8 is a message flow diagram showing a first identity authorizing process for use with the network of FIG. 1.
DISCUSSION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0014] Turning to FIG. 1, a user of plural Internet services (e.g., SKYPE messaging service, GOOGLETALK messaging service, AOL INSTANT MESSENGER messaging service, and MICROSOFT MESSENGER messaging service) is initially identified using separate user names or other identifiers for each of the plural Internet services. For example, a fictitious user (e.g., John Jones) may have user names such as fictitioususer1@gmail.com and fictitiousdad@aol.com. Both of these user names provide methods of enabling other users to reach John Jones. However, there is no linkage between the two user names that allows John Jones to manage his account information uniformly and in one place. In addition, John Jones may not want all other users to know all of his user names or the presence information provided by the applications with which those user names are associated. To aid in account management, John Jones may subscribe to a registry service that will enable Mr. Jones to unify his on-line identities and centralize his account management and account log-on functions. One example of a registry may be the Personal Internet Communications Unification Project from NET2PHONE, Inc., referred to hereinafter as "PICUP" or "picup.com".
[0015] When Mr. Jones subscribes to the registry service, he is assigned or is allowed to select a registry-specific identifier, such as johnjones@picup.com. As shown in FIG. 2, Mr. Jones may authenticate himself with that name to the registry service (through any number of known authentication techniques and protocols). For example, as shown in FIG. 1, Mr. Jones may use an application (labeled "Reg. App" for registry application) to communicate with the registry service. Applications that can be used for this authentication include, but are not limited to, a web browser (e.g., MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER web browser or MOZILLA FIREFOX web browser) using a user name and password combination or a custom application that passes authentication information (e.g., a user name and password combination, a fingerprint, a secure token or a signed message).
[0016] Having acquired a registry identifier from the registry and having authenticated himself to the registry, Mr. Jones can, as part of the identity management process, begin associating other identities with the registry identifier. To do this, Mr. Jones sends to the registry an "Add identity" message including an identifier such as a user name corresponding to one of the plural service providers. For example, Mr. Jones sends fictitioususer1@gmail.com to the registry.
[0017] The registry may parse the received identifier into a domain name and a user id and, if necessary (as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 2), request a connection with the service provider associated with the domain name. For example, the registry may contact the GOOGLETALK messaging service server associated with the gmail.com domain name.
[0018] The registry then sends a "challenge" to Mr. Jones via his registry application. The challenge may be in the form of a random number, text or even graphic containing clear or obscured random text/numbers. For example, the challenge could be a random number "9157638." As depicted by the dashed line of FIG. 2, the user then transfers (e.g., copies and pastes or retypes) the random number from the registry application to a service provider application corresponding to the service provider (e.g., the GOOGLETALK messaging service server) for the identity (e.g., fictitioususer1@gmail.com) being added. The service provider application then contacts, on behalf of Mr. Jones, the service provider corresponding to the identifier (e.g., fictitioususer1@gmail.com) that he sent the registry. (Like with the registry application, the service provider application may also be implemented as either a customized application or a web browser-based application.) The service provider application then sends to the service provider the same information that was contained in the challenge that he received from the registry. Lastly, the service provider sends to the registry the challenge that the service provider received from the service provider application (as it was transferred by the user). This completes a confirmation cycle that enables the registry to verify that the user does control the account corresponding to the identifier of the service provider.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, a second identity adding process can be used instead. In this process, the registry is not required to make a connection with the service provider to receive the challenge. Instead, after the challenge is received by the registry application, the challenge is provided to the service provider application that signs the challenge using a private key of a public/private key pair. The service provider application then sends the signed message back to the registry, and the registry can verify the signed message using the public key received from a key repository corresponding to the service provider.
[0020] The registry may consolidate not only identities but also real-time information (e.g., presence information) about the identities. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, Mr. Jones may set his status information to "on-line" (using either a registry application or using a service provider application). When this change is received by the registry, the registry propagates this information to all of the service providers that are managed by the registry. However, this information management assumes that the registry and the services can authenticate each other so that the service providers and the registry know that the information is to be shared.
[0021] One way in which this can be achieved is to have a service provider application running locally that authenticates the user to both the service provider and to the registry. As shown in FIG. 5, a service provider application has authenticated itself to its corresponding service provider (e.g., AOL Instant Messaging service). When the user elects to use the registry to centralize its presence information, the service provider application sends to the registry the log-in information (e.g., username and password) used in the initial authentication to the service provider. The registry can then authenticate itself to the service provider as well using the authentication information that the service provider is expecting. To avoid the service provider assuming that this is a new login by the user at a different location (that may cause the existing log-in to be terminated), the registry identifies to the service provider that the registry is logging on only as a proxy that will receive presence information and not as a communications end-point.
[0022] Later, when Mr. Jones uses his service provider application to change his presence information (e.g., by setting it to "Do Not Disturb"), the information received by the service provider will be passed to the registry so that other information services may see the same change, as shown in the last two steps of FIG. 5.
[0023] Alternatively, in the case of having used the authentication method of FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 6, the service provider application can be configured to send the change in presence information to both its corresponding service provider and the registry. When the change in presence information is sent to the registry, it is preferably signed using the same private key that was used during the process of adding an identity shown in FIG. 3. In such a configuration, the registry can verify the authenticity of signed message containing the change in presence information using the public key corresponding to the identity. This enables the registry to receive presence information updates without requiring the registry to log into the service provider as a proxy. Moreover, if the registry has cached a copy of the public key received during the identity adding process, the registry does not have to re-contact the service provider to verify the authenticity of the change. This can reduce load on the service provider's network.
[0024] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, various other authentication protocols are also possible. In FIG. 7, assuming that the registry application has already sent an "Add identity" message including an identifier to the registry, the registry sends back a random challenge to the registry as was discussed above with reference to FIG. 2. However, as shown in FIG. 7, contemporaneously with receiving the challenge, the registry application also receives a phone number (or the name of an identity) indicating where it should be contacted. The user provides this phone number (or identity) to the service provider application which forwards it to the service provider for initiation of a telephone call. The service provider then connects to the telephone number (or identity). In at least one such embodiment, the telephone number (or identity) being used by the registry is provided by the service provider such that the authentication phone call remains "on network" for the service provider. Upon establishing a phone connection between the service provider and the registry, the user is prompted to enter the challenge (e.g., using a keyboard or DTMF tones, depending on the capabilities of the service provider application). Because the registry is able to determine on whose behalf the incoming call is being made (e.g., by looking at the caller ID information for a SKYPE telephone to SKYPE telephone call), the registry can then confirm that the challenge has been properly delivered to the user corresponding to the identity which is being added.
[0025] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, similar to the authentication process shown in FIG. 7, a telephone connection can be made between the service provider and the registry so that the user may send the challenge to the registry over a telephone connection. However, in FIG. 8, it is the registry that establishes a connection to the service provider associated with the identity being added and requests that a connection be made to that identity. In this way the requirement for authentication of the identity on the service provider is pushed to the original service provider itself.
[0026] While the above embodiments of FIGS. 7 and 8 have been described with respect to establishing a telephone connection (e.g., a SKYPE telephone) between the registry and the service provider, other types of connections are also possible. For example, a text messaging connection between authenticated text messaging clients (e.g., between MICROSOFT MESSANGER messaging service clients) can also be established and the challenge(s) sent across those connections.
[0027] In configurations such as those discussed above with respect to FIGS. 7 and 8, the registry may include an automated response program (e.g., an avatar) that handles the incoming and/or outgoing connections and the parsing of the received challenges and/or the prompting for the challenges, whether the connections be telephone-based, text-based or a combination thereof.
[0028] A system, such as the registry described above, that tracks identities and corresponding presence information can provide additional that also make use of information stored in the registry. For example, the registry can support in-bound (i.e., pull to the user) and out-bound (i.e., push to the user) directed advertising to a particular user, whether or not the user manages plural identities through the registry. The advertising sent may be informed by the user's behavior on one or across multiple service provider domains.
[0029] Using a system such as the registry system described above, a user may also be able to manage a set of preferences that controls the order in which the user will be contacted when an in-bound request for communications arrives at the registry. For example, when Bob wants to initiate a text/voice messaging session with Sally, Bob's registry-compatible text messaging client may see that Sally is on-line and available for text messaging, but it may not show whether Sally is using AOL IM messaging service, GOOGLE TALK messaging service, or NET2PHONE COMMCENTER messaging service (because Sally doesn't want it known or because Bob's contact management software only displays presence information about modes, not applications). Bob might therefore invite Sally to a text and/or voice messaging chat session without knowing to which application the "invite" message is sent. That decision could be made by the registry in accordance with logic rules Sally establishes. For example, Sally might have established a connection preference rule (e.g., a "find me" rule) for the PICUP persona Bob is calling that "rings" her first using the NET2PHONE COMMCENTER messaging service, then using the GOOGLE TALK messaging service, then using the AOL INSTANT MESSANGER messaging service. Alternatively, the preference may be based on dynamic conditions, such as which application was most recently used, what time of day it is, what day it is, whether it is a holiday, etc. Other logic rules are possible, and all could be maintained as part of the registry user record for Sally.
[0030] Such preferences also make it possible to receive a preferred mode of communication. For example, the list of preferences may state that during the weekday, the preferred method of connecting is via a specified work telephone number, and then at a cell phone, and then at a voice-based messaging service, then at a text-based messaging service, etc. Alternatively, the list of preferences may state that during the weekend, the preferred method of connecting is via a voice-based messaging service, then at a text-based messaging service, and then no other connections are permitted. Thus, an initiating user may use the registry application to ask the registry what the best match is for contacting a receiving user, and then, based on the information returned, the registry application can start (or request that the user start) the appropriate service provider application to establish the communication channel between the initiating and receiving users.
[0031] The registry application may also be configured such that it interfaces with at least one of the service provider applications to provide connection control (e.g., call set up and tear down) and messaging services. In such a configuration, the user interfaces with the registry application to send messages (e.g., text message, voice messages or voice-over-IP call streams) to the service provider application which then sends them on to its corresponding service provider. The registry application may perform media protocol translations as necessary to provide the messages to the service provider application in a format which it understands. For example, if the registry application receives a voice stream in a first format (e.g., raw) but the service provider application expects it in a second format (e.g., compressed), then the registry application may perform the necessary conversion. In one embodiment, the registry application and the service provider application engage in a format negotiation to determine a preferred format for sending the messages.
[0032] Alternatively, the registry can act as simply an information repository that can be queried by a service provider such that the service provider can provide PICUP-aware routing services to its clients. For example, a PICUP-aware instant messaging server can be used to interact with standard instant messaging clients (e.g., XMPP clients such as iChat and Pidgin). (The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is described in RFC 3920 and RFC 3921, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.) Users log into the PICUP server using any of their personalities and any of their XMPP clients. Then, the PICUP-aware server can send to the client a list of all buddies that are logged on, without revealing which IM-clients they are using and with which personality. Later, when a client requests to connect to a buddy, the PICUP-aware server can connect to the buddy without having to divulge which IM-client the buddy is using and with which personality.
[0033] Similarly, a VoIP server (such as an Asterisk server) can be made to be PICUP-aware to route calls according to a user's preferences. (For additional details on Asterisk, see Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, by Jim Van Meggelen, Jared Smith, Leif Madsen,
[0034] Second Edition August 2007, published by O'Reilly Publishing, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.) When an incoming call is received at a PICUP-aware VoIP server for a number that is associated with a PICUP user, the PICUP-aware VoIP server can access PICUP to determine if the user has established any preferences which affect how the call is to be routed. For example, "Mary" may have has established a rule that incoming calls to her extension "x1234" should be routed to her cell phone if the caller ID information indicates that the call is from her home or from the cell phone of a family member. Likewise, she may establish a rule to call her in an office down the hall if she knows that she is out of the office. Alternatively, Mary may establish a rule that indicates that inbound calls from VoIP clients should be routed based on who is calling her and at what time. Because her friends and associates may change which VoIP client they use, by establishing rules based on PICUP names and personalities rather than company specific personalities, Mary may be better able to handle who can and cannot reach her and when.
[0035] A similar routing preference interface can be established for other communications paradigms. For example, an e-mail server (e.g., an SMTP server) can be made PICUP-aware such that it can control how e-mail is processed and forwarded. For example, when an email is received at a server, the e-mail server can consult the PICUP server for routing rules that might affect how the mail is delivered. As one example, e-mail from a particular user (e.g., a boss) might always be accepted and sent to an email address associated with where the user is logged on (e.g., either home or office) so that the e-mail is seen as quickly as possible. Alternatively, e-mail from known unwanted addresses may be sent directly to the trash or a folder associated with junk email. Again, by using PICUP-aware routing, a boss who is on vacation and can only use his g-mail account may still be able to reach an employee with high priority if the employee's rules are based on the boss' PICUP-identity rather than just a particular e-mail address.
[0036] The same kind of rules can be applied to calendar events that are sent. A PICUP-aware calendar server can access the rules that a user has established to determine if and how calendar requests should be automatically processed based on who is requesting a meeting and when the requested meeting is.
[0037] Any number of grammars can be used for defining rules and actions. An exemplary rule grammar is defined as follows:
[0038] [Source]:[Target]:[Source Op]:[Target Op]:[Rule Expression]:[ACL].
[0039] [Source] identifies who is initiating the rule and is polymorphic such that [Source] may refer to a subscriber, a group of subscribers or anonymous sources.
[0040] [Target] is polymorphic and may be used to identify subscribers, modes of contact (telephone or IM) or attributes about a subscriber.
[0041] [Source Op] defines an operation to be performed and includes "Search", "Call" and "Add".
[0042] [Target Op] defines how contacts are redirected or may be null.
[0043] [Rule Expression] defines a temporal expression that causes the expression to be performed at certain times (or conditions)
[0044] [ACL] is an access control list that defines whether the rule is Searchable, Retrievable and/or requires an Invitation to be able to search and/or retrieve.
[0045] Using the above grammar, example rules can be created as follows:
[0046] (1) [Subscribed1]:[Subscriber2]:[Call]:[redirect to cell]:[if after work hours]:[Retrievable] in order to reroute a call from a specified caller to subscriber2's cell phone
[0047] (2) [Anonymous]:[Subscriber2]:[Call]:[redirect to voicemail]:[weekend]:[Retrievable] in order to reroute calls from unknown callers to subscriber2's voicemail
[0048] (3) [Subscriber2]:[Attribute:cell #]:[Add]:[null]:[weekdays]:[Requires Invitation]
[0049] Similarly, requests to determine information about a subscriber can be written as rules such as:
[0050] [Subscriber2]:[Cellphone]:[Search]:[null]:[null]:[null] in order to attempt to receive the cell phone number of subscriber2.
[0051] By using access control lists, a subscriber can control whether information can be searched or retrieved. This may be appropriate where you want to avoid the PICUP-server divulging as part of a search certain information (e.g., that your age falls into a particular range), but you are willing to allow other information to be retrieved if the person making the query already knew that information. For example, you can retrieve a person's cell phone number if you already know their age, but the system will not let you search for a person's age. Thus "age" would be retrievable but not searchable.
[0052] Because of the flexibility of the attributes that can be associated with a user's PICUP identity, those attributes can be used as persistent storage of information between different authenticated PICUP users. For example, "Joe" may add information associated with an attribute to his PICUP account and allow "Mary" to search and/or retrieve the information by querying that attribute. In this way, information, such as sales figures, can be stored by Joe such that Mary can pick them up later. One form of information associated with an attribute may be a file such that all the proper formatting and data may be associated with the attribute other than just storing text. Similarly, voice clips and any other information can be associated with an attribute. In this way, a subscriber's voicemails from various phones could be stored in a central location and retrieved by any application that the subscriber uses to authenticate himself/herself.
[0053] As described above, a number of existing applications can be modified to become PICUP aware. These applications can be modified to use either web-based APIs or actual code (e.g., c or C++ libraries) that can be linked in with the application. Either way, the service receives PICUP authentication information from a subscriber to authenticate the subscriber to PICUP and allow the server to retrieve information on the user's behalf. Alternatively, client applications may be developed that use the same Web or code interfaces to interact with PICUP directly. For example, an application that retrieves information associated with stored attributes in the PICUP server does not to interact with any server other than the PICUP server. Thus, such an application could authenticate the user to the PICUP server and retrieve the information (e.g., voicemails) directly.
[0054] As discussed above, attributes may be set to be searchable by subscribers. As such, a number of services may be built that perform certain searches in order to determine which subscribers match particular criteria. For example, a phone company may wish to run a promotion that seeks to target male consumers 21-25 for a chance to go to a football playoff game. If subscriber's have made their age and sex attributes searchable, an authenticated PICUP-aware phone service server may query the PICUP server for subscribers that meet that criteria. Such a query may be run at the phone service server, at the PICUP server or on a combination of both. These searches may be implemented as "plug-ins" to the various servers, assuming that the plug-ins have been authenticated and tested.
[0055] As described above, PICUP allows users to address contacts that have multiple network identities (email addresses, IM names, gaming IDs, phone numbers, social network IDs, etc.) with a single name regardless of which application they happen to be running One way to do that would be to replace all of the existing names with a new identity in a single "super" name space. However, unique names in a single name space are scarce, and late arriving users are forced to choose odd or cumbersome identities that their friends and colleagues may not intuitively associate with them.
[0056] Alternatively, users can instead use any of the existing names registered with PICUP as a means of finding a PICUP user, and, once found, tell PICUP that that found name is currently associated with the intended user. This can be illustrated with the following example. PICUP subscriber, Sally Parker, has the names sally.parker@gmail.com, sp439@aol.com, and sallyp@skype.com, associated with her email, AOL IM, and Skype VoIP services, respectively. Sally would register these with PICUP, which would store them in its database within a record associated with Sally. A caller could then use any of these names to lookup Sally's record. For instance, another PICUP subscriber, Bill Smith, could send a request to PICUP asking for information about Sally. Bill could transmit the name sally.parker@gmail.com to PICUP. Sally's record in the database would be retrieved, and PICUP could inform Bill of the various ways that Sally could be reached (subject to Sally's privacy rules). Bill could also add Sally to his record as a contact.
[0057] A problem with this approach is that there is no assurance that Sally will keep each of her existing application identities. Say, for example, that Sally became unhappy with her gmail service, decided to switch to hotmail, and so deletes sally.parker@gmail.com from her record, and adds sp111@hotmail.com to her record. Now the next time Bill tries to communicate with Sally, he uses sally.parker@gmail.com but cannot retrieve Sally's record, and the attempt fails. Worse, another subscriber in the meantime may have selected the name sally.parker@gmail.com, and now Bill will be put in touch with the wrong subscriber. Sally could elect to give Bill her unique PICUP login name, but that suffers from all the drawbacks of the super namespace. Also, Sally might not want to share her login name with Bill for any of several reasons (security, privacy, etc.).
[0058] Accordingly, there is a need for a naming system that allows one user to refer to any other user by a name that is: (i) memorable, (ii) distinctive, (iii) persistent, and (iv) decentralized. See Zooko's Triangle,; The Persistence of Identity,.
[0059] An implementation of a PICUP server may address this problem by allowing Bill to establish his own name for Sally as an alias or nickname, and to store that nickname in Bill's record. Specifically, this works as follows. Every PICUP record is given an identifier (e.g., a large number or character string) that is unique and distinct from all other PICUP record identifiers, and is never re-used even if the record is deleted. This identifier is internal to PICUP--it need never be exposed to subscribers, let alone to their contacts. When Bill first adds Sally as a contact in his record, perhaps after searching the PICUP database using one of her existing identities, Bill provides a nickname for her contact entry that he would like to use to refer to Sally. This nickname is stored in Bill's record, and PICUP internally links the nickname to Sally's record ID (without exposing Sally's record ID to Bill). The nickname Bill chooses need not be unique to the entire PICUP database; it only needs to be unique among the nicknames used by Bill. Now, whenever Bill wants to identify Sally's record in order to obtain information, all he has to do is identify himself (directly using his password or through a "triangle of trust" relationship) and his nickname for Sally. PICUP then find's Bill's record, and uses the nickname to obtain the unique ID for Sally's record. Using this approach, Sally may change any and all of her service names without ever having to tell any of her contacts. She also doesn't have to expose to Bill her login name or any other information in her user record that she doesn't want him to have.
[0060] In addition, "petnames" can be used to associate internal identifiers with subscribers. For a discussion on petnames, see Petname Systems by Marc Steigler, HPL-2005-148, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0061] While certain configurations of structures have been illustrated for the purposes of presenting the basic structures of the present invention, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that other variations are possible which would still fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Series: asyncio basics, large numbers in parallel, parallel HTTP requests, adding to stdlib
Update: slides of a talk I gave at the London Python Meetup on this: Talk slides: Making 100 million HTTP requests with Python aiohttp.
Update: see how Cristian Garcia improved on this code here: Making an Unlimited Number of Requests with Python aiohttp + pypeln..
See also:.

That is a nice experiment. Andy, the fact that your client-async-as-completed uses 100% CPU is not a good thing. It indicates a problem with using busy-waiting. Your “while True” loop continuously checks for task completion, and that causes 100% CPU utilization. A better approach is to use
while futures:
done, futures = await asyncio.wait(futures, return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED)
# then re-fill the set of futures from the coros iterable
asyncio.wait does not do busy-waiting
Awesome, thanks ruslan!
This is a great post! I learned a lot from it.
I’m also thinking about how to use aiohttp for a similar task.
Inspired by this post, I’m using only the semaphore to control the concurrent requests without exhausting CPU or memory. The only thing I do differently is to acquire the semaphore before creating the future task and release the semaphore after fetching the result.
Code:
Thanks Shih-Wen Su – looks great!
Hi!
I created this library called `pypeln` – for creating many kinds of concurrent data pipelines. It currently supports Processes, Threads and asyncio Tasks.
Your post was an inspiration when implementing the io module!
With pypeln you can easily solve the problem you showed like this:
“`
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from pypeln import io
import sys
r = int(sys.argv[1])
url = “{}”
with ClientSession() as session:
data = range(r)
io.each(lambda i: fetch(url.format(i), session), data, workers=1000)
“`
Thanks for sharing you knowledge!
Wow Cristian that looks brilliant!
I was planning to write a follow-up using pypeln, but I got this:
Can you give a more complete example?
Hey Andy,
Glad you liked it!
The error is due to changes in the iohttp library, it seems that ClientSession now has to be run with “async with” instead of “with”. Your original code should no longer work.
Here is a full working example:
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from pypeln import io
import asyncio
import sys
async def fetch(url, session):
async with session.get(url) as response:
return await response.read()
async def main():
r = 10
url = “”
# r = int(sys.argv[1])
# url = “{}”
async with ClientSession() as session:
data = range(r)
await io.each(lambda i: fetch(url, session), data, workers=1000, run = False)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
print(“Finish”)
BTW: how do you make a code block on the comments?
Here is a gist for the code:
You can add “pre” tag around your code, I think. (I can, anyway.)
Thanks, I will test it out and hopefully write a new post.
Hmm, something is not working the way we expect – it took longer for this code to do 1000 requests than the client-async-as-completed took to do 10000:
Thank you very much for the feedback!
If possible, can we continue the discussion in this issue:
I looked at the code and made some optimizations, please update to the development code like this before you try:
pip install git+
Maybe include the -U flag:
pip install -U git+
Continuing here:
See for Christian’s new improved version.
Hi ,
This is great analysis on timecomplexity.
Looking for similar requirement with Python based Unit test framework:
1. Fire 100000 unique URL requests in parallel ( Not sequential and not repetitive requests) — Thread1
2. Verify HTTP response status code ( eg: 200, 403, 404 etc) of each requests in parallel , may be handled via different thread — Thread2
3. Verify Response headers of each URL requests –> may be handled via different thread – Thread3
4. Login to remote machine ( to which requests is fired) and verify logs –> Can this be done using RpyC — Thread4
any unit test framework like tornado or different framework using asyncio/aiohttp suitable with above requirements in optimized time fashion. | https://www.artificialworlds.net/blog/2017/06/12/making-100-million-requests-with-python-aiohttp/ | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | refinedweb | 682 | 65.22 |
w20e.pycms 1.0.1a
Pyramid CMS
==========
Only fools and nerds create their own CMS nowadays. Hurray! Anyway, so
here it is, w20e.pycms. Using the Pyramid framework as its base,
building on top of good old Zope (and some Plone) concepts. The CMS is
created using these main concepts:
* ZODB as database
* ZCML as configuration/glue language
* small core
* optional components (like search, catalog, sharing); just include what
you like
The CMS is a framework, not an out of the box app. What you'll need to
do is create your own Pyramid app, using the CMS as base. We've tried
to make this as easy as possible: use w20e.pycms.sitemaker (to be
found on github or pypi) to obtain a paster template for your app. Run
paster to create your app, and there you go...
Why?
----
w20e.pycms is Yet Another CMS, but without using the acronym. Why,
for the flying spaghetti monsters sake another CMS? Well, you know how
it goes. You use Plone for some years, find out that when your
favourite tool is a hammer, all problems have a rather strong tendency
towards nailishness... Then Pyramid comes along, giving you the best
of Plone (ZODB, Zope Component Architecture, ZCML, Chameleon, etc.)
for creating lightweight apps. Then you need a Page with
WYSIWYG... then you need search... sharing. Then you wake up with a
basic CMS in your hands. May as well share it so you can decide for
yourself whether it is worth your while. I mean, you dont __have__ to
use it!
Anyway, read on if you like...
For whom..?
-----------
w20e.pycms is not for the faint of heart, nor for people that cannot
read Python code, hate programming, think that the use of XML for
configuration is sooo 1990, are convinced that Windows 95 was the best
OS ever or would preferrably use a rocket launcher to deal with vermin
in the kitchen. It _is_ on the other hand, for those that rank
fuckit.js among the best JS libraries ever, enjoy Terry Pratchett,
love buildout en ZCML and think that beer is so much more that just a
breakfast drink.
Features
--------
Our little CMS gives you a framework to build your sites upon, if
you're not targeting the enterprise market. If you do, be gone (to the
plone.org site)!
PyCMS gives you:
* ZODB for storing data
* blobstorage
* user & group management
* search, using repoze.catalog (optional)
* creating and maintaining pages
* an easily extendable framework for new content types
* a lot of ZCML configuration
* CMS design based on (Twitter) Bootstrap
Getting started
---------------
We assume that you know how to use buildout, create virtual
environments, like to use paster, etc. But this is only one way to get
things going...
First, create a package for your project, requiring:
w20e.pycms
The easiest way to do so, is using our paster template
pycms_project. Install the w20e.pycms.sitemaker package (get it from
github), something along these lines:
# virtualenv <env>
# cd <env>; ./bin/activate
# ./bin/easy_install w20e.pycms.sitemaker
# cd <wherever you'd="" like="" your="" app="" sources="">
# paster create -t pycms_project <package name="">
If you really want to do it by hand, create an __init__ file for your
Pyramid app like this:
from w20e.pycms import make_pycms_app
def main(global_config, **settings):
return make_pycms_app(__package__, **settings)
and Bob might be your Uncle.
Secondly, create a buildout and virtualenv for your stuff. Why not use
w20e.buildoutskel? Install it using easy_install, and
# cd <whereever you="" want="" your="" buildout="" files="">
# paster create -t buildout
and answer <package name=""> to the project name question, and pycms to
the type question.
You now have a bunch of buildout files, almost ready to run your app!
You most likely will consider creating a buildout-my.cfg that extends
buildout-base.cfg, and adds some develop paths, like:
develop =
<that path="" where="" your="" pycms="" app="" was="" created,="" and="" where="" the="" setup.
Last, run python bootstrap.py and then buildout with your config file.
Now it's time to rev up the engine, and see what has happend. Run your
app like so (within the buildout dir):
# ./bin/paster serve dvl.ini [--reload]
Direct your favorite browser (most likely Lynx or Mosaic) to and sit back and relax!
Configuration
-------------
You may or may not be totally satisfied with the result so far. If
this is utterly your idea of a superduper web app, good on ya! If not,
read on...
- Add the default management and public css / js files (if you want):
add this to your configure.zcml:
<include package="w20e.pycms" file="public_resources.zcml"/>
<include package="w20e.pycms" file="manage_resources.zcml"/>
- Include any other CSS and JS you like, using the pycms zcml directives:
<pycms:css <
<pycms:js <
- Override assets like favicon and robots.txt:
<asset <
- Most likely you'll want to override the 'content' macro, that is
called to display a page. To do this, make your own pt file, make
that extend 'main.macros['master'], and let it fill the 'body' slot:
<metal:define-macro metal:
<html xmlns="" < xml:lang="en"
i18n:domain="w20e"
xmlns:
<head/>
<body metal:
Good morning Grommit...
<metal:define-slot
</body>
</html>
</metal:define-macro>
and add to your configure.zcml (always assuming you called your macro
main.pt):
<pycms:macro <
Using the CMS: core concepts
----------------------------
The core CMS consists solely of pages. Pages are just things with
text. Nothing serious. You may want to create your own content types,
actions, etc. Luckily that's not hard to do. Best way is to look at
existing code... Anyway, some examples here:
Actions
-------
You can register actions with your content. The currently used setup
mainly uses 'perspectives' or ways to look at your content. In the
management interface these are rendered as 'tabs'. Actions are
configured using zcml. Use the action statment as follows:
<pycms:action <
ctype is an optional filter.
Content types
-------------
Create your own content types if you wish. You can register an icon,
and possible subtypes with your type using:
<pycms:ctype <
Your actual model should extend either
w20e.pycms.models.base.BaseContent
or
w20e.pycms.models.base.BaseFolder.
You may want to use w20e.forms (read: should) for your model. Create
an xml form that describes your model, and add it. A simple model
looks like this:
from w20e.pycms.models.base import BaseContent
class SomethingSimple(BaseContent):
""" Well, actually it's more like an 'object'... """
add_form = edit_form = "../quote/somethingsimple.xml"
def __init__(self, content_id, data=None):
BaseContent.__init__(self, content_id, data)
def base_id(self):
return self.__data__['title']
@property
def title(self):
return self.__data__['title']
robots.txt
----------
The default robots.txt disallows all. Override as per your liking...
Search
------
Would you like search enabled for your site?
Add this to your configure.zcml:
<include package="w20e.pycms" file="search.zcml"/>
Sharing anyone?
---------------
Would you like search enabled for your site?
Add this to your configure.zcml:
<include package="w20e.pycms_sharing"/>
and this to your setup dependencies (don't forget to run buildout):
w20e.pycms_sharing
Settings
--------
pycms.acl.force_new = True|False
Force new version of ACL. All your security data will be lost
pycms.catalog.force_new = True|False
Force new version of catalog. All your entries will be lost, but you
can just run reindex-catalog and all is well again...
pycms.admin_user = <user>:<pwd>
Admin user and password, like so: pycms.admin_user = admin:pipo
pycms.admin_secret = <somesecret>
This secret may be used as URL parameter to obtain admin permission
Use it wisely!
pycms.minify_css = True|False
Minify CSS. Defaults to False
pycms.minify_js = True|False
Minify JS. Defaults to False
pycms.logged_in_redirect = <url>
pycms.rootclass = <full dotted="" classname="">

pycms.roottitle = <string>

Modern Typescript oriented libraries start to use classes and decorators in their APIs.
Everything is awesome until libraries start to use reflect-metadata API which enforce you to define business logic in the static types which are magically reflected into your runtime code.
TLDR:
Don't vendor lock yourself with unsupported experimental syntax and
don't use
reflect-metadata which forces you to pre-process your runtime code.
Use raw vanilla Javascript and infer Typescript data types directly from the Javascript definitions.
Good code
const userModel = model({ id: nonNullable(stringType()) name: nonNullable(stringType()) })
Bad code
@Model() class userModel /* decorators are nice syntax sugar ^^ */ @Field() id: string /* problem is that business logic is coded in typescript type here */ /* decorators are nice syntax sugar ^^ */ @Field() name: string /* problem is that business logic is coded in typescript type here */ }
Check full working example of the good code in the Typescript playground
And... what is
reflect-metadata?
Before we dig deeper to reflect-metadata we need to understand what are decorators Typescript decorators API.
Decorators
Decorators are syntax sugar which gives us the option to write quasi
high-order-functions to enhance
classes,
methods, and
properties.
class ExampleClass { @first() // decorators @second() // decorators method() {} }
You may know a similar pattern from languages like
C#,
Java or
Python.
If you compare Typescript decorators to the Python implementation,
you can find the difference that Typescript implementation does not work for basic
functions or
arrow functions.
At the top of it, the decorators are only a Typescript specific feature.
But we have to pay attention because similar functionality is already in the tc39 Javascript proposal at stage 2.
reflect-metadata
That was decorators, now we have to look for the reflect-metadata library.
Let's check the documentation.
Background
- Decorators add the ability to augment a class and its members as the class is defined, through a declarative syntax.
- Traceur attaches annotations to a static property on the class.
- Languages like C# (.NET), and Java support attributes or annotations that add metadata to types, along with a reflective API for reading metadata.
If you don't fully understand who will use it in the real world you can check some libraries which use
reflect-metadata to define the applications data models.
- type-orm (~24K Github stars)
- type-graphql (~6K Github stars)
- nest.js (~37K Github Stars)
- and so on...
If you know these libraries you know what I'm talking about.
Thanks to the
reflect-metadata library you can "hack" into the Typescript compiler and get the static type metadata from compile-time into your Javascript runtime.
For example, you may have code like:
@ObjectType() class Recipe { @Field() title: string; }
The
reflect-metadata library enables us to write decorators that will read metadata from the static type and this metadata may affect your Javascript runtime code.
You may imagine this metadata as an information that field title is
string.
So that's pretty handy syntax sugar!
Yes...
But actually...
No... There is another side of the same coin.
Let's check on how to define an SQL table via the
type-orm library using decorators and
reflect-metadata.
@Entity() export class User { @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id: number; @Column() firstName: string; }
As you may see, there is no Javascript runtime information about the data types of columns.
So that's magic because the basic Typescript compiler should transpile code into this:
@Entity() export class User { @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id; @Column() firstName; }
The default Typescript compiler removes information about data types. Thanks to
reflect-metadata and
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true this code is still working
since it transfers information about static types into the runtime metadata descriptor which can be read in the Javascript runtime.
And where is the problem?
In my humble opinion the whole philosophy of influencing Javascript runtime via static types is bad and we should not use it in the Javascript ecosystem!
The
reflect-metadata library has to influence the Typescript compiler and forces us to vendor lock our code into Typescript specific syntax so we're no longer able to use raw vanilla Javascript. The beauty of standard Typescript is that it just enhances the real Javascript codebase and enables us to have better integration, stability and documentation.
If some typings do not work correctly we can just use
as any,
@ts-expect-error or
@ts-ignore, and everything is okay. We don't need to bend our application in the name of strict-type-safe-only faith. The strongest type-system advantage of Typescript over the others is that Typescript is just a tool for developers and it does not optimize the runtime.
If you define a variable in the C language, you know how many bits will be allocated in the memory thanks to the definition of a data-type.
At first glance, it could look like Typescript is missing this kind of optimization but on the other hand we should also realise that THIS is the game changer!
It enables us to just use a type system to help us document code and avoid runtime errors with the best developer experience.
If you combine this philosophy with Typescript type inferring you get the greatest dev-tool for avoiding runtime errors which is not affecting Javascript code.
If you're more interested in some fancy usage of Typescript type inference which solves real-world problems, you can check my other articles.

- React typed state management under 10 lines of code
- Type inferred react-redux under 20 lines
- and so on...
Reflect-metadata vs single source of truth (SSOT)?
If you use libraries like
typed-graphql or
type-orm you can find that
reflect-metadata is only working for basic data types like:
number,
string, and
boolean.
If you want to refer to another data type, you have to create a real Javascript pointer reference.
There are some real-world examples where you can see that the code is "duplicated" and you have to define real Javascript reference and static type reference.
It mean that you do not follow SSOT (Single source of truth) and DRY (Don't repeat yourself) at all.
type-orm example
(you should read comments in the code snippet)
@Entity() export class PhotoMetadata { // here you have to define a reference into the real runtime Javascript pointer @OneToOne(type => Photo) @JoinColumn() // here you duplicate the pointer into Photo just to have proper static types photo: Photo; }
type-graphql example
(you should read comments in the code snippet)
@InputType() class NewRecipeInput { // here you have to define a reference into the real runtime Javascript pointer @Field(type => [String]) @ArrayMaxSize(30) // here you duplicate the pointer into Photo just to have proper static types // so that means you can have an inconsistency between the static type and @Field(...) definition ingredients: string[]; }
Our target is to have SSOT which describes our data types and give us
- Static type inferring
- Infer cyclic pointer references
- Option to have runtime Javascript validations
- Type-safety
- Good documentation
- Enable us to use standard Javascript tooling
- Enable us to generate the schema in the runtime
The solution
So we have explained why using
reflect-metadata suc*s...so what should we use instead?
Thanks to Typescript generics we're able to write data types as a Javascript function composition or just simple
hash-map/
object.
Then we can Infer the data types. Thanks to that our code is pure Javascript, we're able to be more flexible and generate data types on the fly and not be fixed.
JSON Schema vs Class-based schema
In the previous examples we used class to define the schema, now we'll use a simple Javascript hashmap.
So let's define some basic ones.
const mySchema = { type: 'object' as const, properties: { key1: { type: 'number' as const, required: true as const, }, key2: { type: 'string' as const, required: false as const, }, }, required: false as const, }
The only Typescript-specific code there is the
as const notation which defines that the data type should have been the same as the value.
We're able to write a data type for a schema like this:
export type SchemaArr = { type: 'array' required?: boolean items: Schema } export type SchemaObject = { type: 'object' required?: boolean properties: Record<string, Schema> } type SchemaBoolean = { type: 'boolean' required?: boolean } type SchemaString = { type: 'string' required?: boolean } type SchemaNumber = { type: 'number' required?: boolean } export type Schema = SchemaArr | SchemaObject | SchemaString | SchemaNumber | SchemaBoolean
Let's go deeper, Infer type from the Javascript schema!
Now we can create a generic which extracts the data type from the schema definition.
type NiceMerge<T, U, T0 = T & U, T1 = { [K in keyof T0]: T0[K] }> = T1 type MakeOptional<T, Required extends boolean> = Required extends true ? T : T | undefined export type InferSchemaType<T extends Schema> = T extends { type: 'object' properties: infer U } ? // @ts-expect-error { [K in keyof U]: InferSchemaType<U[K]> } : T extends { type: 'array'; items: any } ? // @ts-expect-error MakeOptional<InferSchemaType<T['items']>[], T['required']> : T extends { type: 'boolean' } ? // @ts-expect-error MakeOptional<boolean, T['required']> : T extends { type: 'string' } ? // @ts-expect-error MakeOptional<string, T['required']> : T extends { type: 'number' } ? // @ts-expect-error MakeOptional<number, T['required']> : never
For simplicity I will not be describing how the
InferSchemaType<T> generic was crafted. If you want to know more, just mention me below in the comment section.
This generic is kinda more complicated but if we look at the result we can see that the generics work perfectly.
type MySchemaType = InferSchemaType<typeof mySchema>
Or we can create builder util functions which build JSON with the nicer API.
You can check full source code here
This is phenomenal code to define a schema and infer a type from it.
It's very strong because it enables us to just write simple raw Javascript and 100% of static types are inferred via a few generics and functions.
At the end...
Thanks to omitting experimental Typescript API and returning into good old Javascript we don't vendor-lock our code into the Typescript compiler.
Validators
Even if we want to have runtime-validations, it's super easy to write a runtime validator on top of this schema definition.
If you're more interested in how to write validation from schema you can check the source code on my Github
Use High-order-functions vs Decorators API
But what if you just like decorators and you want to enhance some functions?
Decorators are just syntax-sugar. We can program the same in raw Javascript with a few TS generics.
Decoration API
class ExampleClass { @first() // decorator @second() // decorator method() { console.log('hi') } }
vs
HOF (high-order-function) API
Raw Javascript
// these two examples are not the same because // 1. the second one will instance the method function code every time that class is instanced // 2. there is different `this` binding // but we'll ignore that small difference and we'll focus on different stuff... const fn1 = first()(second()((self) => { console.log('hi') })))
with usage of Ramda.js library
import * as R from 'ramda' const fn1 = R.pipe( second(), first() )(self => { console.log('hi') })
If you want to see more about how to add proper types for HOC or the Pipe function just tell me down in the comment section.
Who should care about this article the most?
The problem is not with the regular programmers who just install npm libraries.
The problem is the authors of libraries who think that this new
reflect-metadata API with experimental decorators will save the world, but at the opposite side it just vendor locks your codebase into 1 edge-case technology.
Is there some good library too?
Haha! good question, of course there is.
I picked two libraries which uses the same philosophy as we described in this article.
1. Typed-env-parser
Typed env parser - npm.
Typed env parser - github.
If you look for the API:
You can find that the definition of users does not include Typescript and the API of the function is pure Javascript.
Thanks to the type inference we get all the features of a strongly typed system in vanilla js implementation.
2. Yup
Yup enable us to define JS schema and infer its data type from raw Javascript schema.
Well That's all...
I hope that you find time & energy to read whole article with a clear and open mind.
Try to think about the syntax which you may use in your codebase on the daily basis and be sceptical about new fancy stuff, which enforces you to do extra compilation to make the code work...
If you enjoyed reading the article don’t forget to like it to tell me if it makes sense to continue.
Top comments (8)
This is great. I think Google suggested this article to me because I've been trying to figure out why I need a class in order to generate Swagger docs for my APIs which use TS interfaces. I wish I could tap into the TS compiler with decorators on my controller FUNCTIONs as I don't see the benefit of using a CLASS other than 'thats what you need to do'.
exactly! I love the minimalism of
expressand
nodejs/
javascriptecosystem... So I don't see the purpose to have classes and methods with tons of boilerplate to programme simple typed REST-API endpoints...
Another great example that followed your approach is mobx, the had decorator syntax added and made the default years ago when they were certain it'd come into ecma and then... It never did, last November they removed it (.. Kinda) and went for a purely js approach - kinda glad Google managed to suggest this post to me as I've recently been looking into decorators for TS as the DX is great and I'd like to get some use out of them 😅
thank you for a feedback :) I'm happy that you enjoy the article
I think you are missing the point here. The whole idea of TypeScript and Reflect is to bring JS world closer to high level programming languages, like Java and C#.
Yeah, sure, you can do it as close to native JS as possible, but then again, why bother with TS? Your basic argument is not against reflect-metadata, but whole concept of using typescript. Yeah, you might be vendor-locking yourself, but you do so too, whenever you use any framework for development. You are locked with that framework for the rest of the project, unless you expect some major refactoring.
So tell me - whoever read this comment after this article - do you want to trade code clarity to stay "pure"? Just because you can achieve same thing harder in native way, does it mean, you have to?
For me, it's just waste of time and energy.
What if you don't understand decorators, reflections and aspect programming? Don't worry, in 90% cases you don't have to.
You're right in one thing... C# & Java sucks as well
I think that you absolutely miss understand the whole point of this article... i can't imagine to write out more code without typescript and I think that TS type system is the best type system ever because you can infer almonost all types from your pure javascript code and keep 100% type safeness. Imho there is only one similar good type system and its from F# compiler. i do not blame TS, i love it... but my code looks like JS and works like TS <3 its 2 in 1, win win situation
BTW reflect-metadata is not as powerfull as the type inferring system for more complicated data types like structures etc...
its reason why you have to define pointer into

Hey Jakub,
I just wanted to thank you for this article. It was a true eye opener. I was just digging myself deep into decorators and reflect-metadata. I had a weird feeling throughout that this is all wrong somehow.
I was searching for documentation on Reflect when Google fed me your article and you expressed precisely what to me was still just a hunch. I was shouting YES all the way through and ended my brief affair with Reflect instantly.
I also rediscovered yup, which I used in a project a few years back and found it matured into a polished library. I'm currently hosting a pool party with yup, Typescript and Wallaby and it's epic!
Godspeed and keep up the great writing!
Haha!
I hope that there will be more people with the same mindset as you have!

install.rdf File
In the last section we looked at the contents of the Hello World extension. Now we'll look into its files and code, starting with the install.rdf file. You can open it with any text editor.
The file is formatted in a special flavor of XML called RDF. RDF used to be the central storage mechanism for Firefox, but it is now being replaced for a simpler database system. We'll discuss both of these storage systems further ahead in the tutorial.
Now let's look at the important parts of the file.
<em:id>helloworld@xulschool.com</em:id>
This is the unique identifier for the extension. Firefox needs this to distinguish your extension from other extensions, so it is required that you have an ID that is unique.
There are two accepted standards for add-on ids. One is the email-like format in the Hello World example, which should be something like <project-name>@<yourdomain>. The other standard practice is to use a generated UUID string, which is extremely unlikely to be duplicated. Unix-based systems have a command line tool called uuidgen that generates UUIDs. There are also downloadable tools for all platforms that generate them. The enclosing brackets are just notation, and they're just common practice. As long as your id has some uniqueness to it, it's OK to use either form.
<em:name>XUL School Hello World</em:name> <em:description>Welcome to XUL School!</em:description> <em:version>0.1</em:version> <em:creator>Appcoast</em:creator> <em:homepageURL></em:homepageURL>
This is the data that is displayed before and after the extension is installed, that you can see in the Add-ons Manager. There are many other tags that can be added, for contributors and translators. The full specification of the install.rdf file has all the details.
Since extensions can be translated to multiple languages, it is often necessary to translate the extension's description, or even its name. A localized description and name can be added with the following code:
<em:localized> <Description> <em:locale>es-ES</em:locale> <em:name>XUL School Hola Mundo</em:name> <em:description>Bienvenido a XUL School!</em:description> </Description> </em:localized>
The es-ES locale string indicates that this is the Spanish (es) localization for Spain (ES). You can add as many <em:localized> sections as you need. For Firefox 2, localizing this file is a little more complicated. We'll discuss localization further ahead in this section.
<em:type>2</em:type>
This specifies that the add-on being installed is an extension. You can read about different possible types in the install.rdf specification.
<em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>4.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>10.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication>
This node specifies the target application and target versions for the extension, specifically Firefox, from version 4 up to version 10. The UUID is Firefox's unique ID. Other Mozilla and Mozilla-based applications such as Thunderbird and Seamonkey have their own. You can have an extension that works on multiple applications and versions. For example, if you create a Firefox extension, it would normally take little effort to port it to SeaMonkey, which has very similar features and UI.
The min and max version specify the version range in which the extension can be installed. Here's more about the version format. If the application or version range don't match, you won't be allowed to install the extension, or the extension will be installed in a disabled state. Users can disable version checks through preferences or installing add-ons like the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. Beginning with Firefox 11, add-ons will default to compatible and Firefox will mostly ignore the version range. Testing your add-ons with every Firefox version is always recommended, though.
This is the information Firefox and other Mozilla applications need to install an add-on. Any errors or missing information will cause the installation process to fail, or the extension to be installed in a disabled state.
The chrome.manifest File
Chrome is the set of user interface elements of the application window that are outside of a window's content area. Toolbars, menu bars, progress bars, and window title bars are all examples of elements that are typically part of the chrome.
Taken from Chrome Registration.
In other words, the chrome is everything you see in Firefox. All Firefox windows can be seen as having two parts: (1) the chrome and (2) possibly a content area, like the one that displays web pages in a Firefox tab. Windows like the Downloads window are pure chrome. Most of the code for an extension resides in the chrome folder, just like in the Hello World example.
As we saw in the directory structure of the unpacked extension, the chrome is composed of 3 sections: content, locale and skin. The 3 are necessary for most extensions. If we open the chrome.manifest file (again, any text editor will do), we see that the same 3 sections are mentioned:
content xulschoolhello content/ skin xulschoolhello classic/1.0 skin/ locale xulschoolhello en-US locale/en-US/
The chrome.manifest file tells Firefox where to look for chrome files. The text is spaced to look like a table, but that is not necessary. The parser ignores repeated spaces.
The first word in a line tells Firefox what it is that is being declared (content, skin, locale, or others mentioned later on). The second is the package name, which we will explain shortly.
Skin and locale packages have a third value to specify what locale or what skin they are extending. There can be multiple skin and locale entries relating to different skins and locales. The most common case is having one skin entry for the global skin, classic/1.0, and multiple locale entries, one for each translation. Finally, the location is specified.
There are some additional options that can be included in the entries of a chrome.manifest file. They are documented in the Chrome Registration page. Notably, we can have entries that are OS-specific. This is important because the appearance of the browser is very different for each operating system. If our extension needed to look differently on different systems, we could change the manifest file so that it looks like this:
content xulschoolhello content/ skin xulschoolhello classic/1.0 skin/unix/ skin xulschoolhello classic/1.0 skin/mac/ os=Darwin skin xulschoolhello classic/1.0 skin/win/ os=WinNT locale xulschoolhello en-US locale/en-US/
This way we can have separate skins for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (plus other unix-like systems), each defined in a separate directory. Since most other systems are Unix-based, the "unix" skin is the default, with no flags.
The Chrome
As mentioned earlier, the chrome is composed of 3 sections: content, locale and skin. The content is the most important section, holding user interface (XUL) and script (JS) files. The skin section has the files that define most of the look and feel of the UI (using CSS and images, just like web pages). Finally, the locale section holds all text used in the extension, in DTD and properties files. This division allows other developers to create themes that replace skins, and translators to create localizations in different languages, all of this without having to change your extension or your code. This gives Firefox extensions a great deal of flexibility.
Chrome files are accessed through the chrome protocol. This is what a chrome URI looks like:
chrome://packagename/section/path/to/file
So, for instance, if I want to access the file browserOverlay.xul in the extension, the chrome URI would be chrome://xulschoolhello/content/browserOverlay.xul.
If you have too many files in the content and you want to organize them in subdirectories, there's nothing you need to change in chrome.manifest, all you need is to add the right path after content in the URI.
Skin and locale files work in the same way, and you don't need to specify skin names or locale names. So, to access the DTD file in the Hello World extension, the chrome path is chrome://xulschoolhello/locale/browserOverlay.dtd. Firefox knows what locale to look for.
Here's an interesting experiment. Open a new Firefox tab, type chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul on your location bar and press ENTER. Surprised? You just opened the Downloads window in a Firefox tab! You can access any chrome file by just typing its URI in the location bar. This can come in handy if you want to inspect script files that are part of Firefox, other extensions, or your own. Most of these files are opened as text files, with the exception of XUL files, which are executed and displayed like you would normally see them on a window.
Content
There are 2 files in the content directory. Let's look at the XUL file first.
XUL files are XML files that define the user interface elements in Firefox and Firefox extensions. XUL was inspired by HTML, so you'll see many similarities between the two. However, XUL is also an improvement over HTML, having learned from many of the mistakes made during the evolution of HTML. XUL allows you to create richer and more interactive interfaces than the ones you can create with HTML, or at least XUL makes it easier.
XUL files usually define one of two things: windows or overlays. The file you opened before, downloads.xul, has the code that defines the Downloads window. The XUL file included in the Hello World extension is an overlay. An overlay extends an existing window, adding new elements to it or replacing some of the elements in it. The line that we skipped in the chrome.manifest file states that this XUL file is an overlay for the main browser window:
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://xulschoolhello/content/browserOverlay.xul
With this line, Firefox knows that it needs to take the contents of browserOverlay.xul and overlay it on the main browser window, browser.xul. You can declare overlays for any window or dialog in Firefox, but overlaying the main browser window is the most common case by far.
Now let's look at the contents of our XUL file. We'll skip the first few lines because they relate to skin and locale, and we'll cover them later.
<overlay id="xulschoolhello-browser-overlay" xmlns="">
The root element in the file is an overlay. Other XUL documents use the window or dialog tag. The element has a unique id, which you should have on most elements in your XUL. The second attribute is the namespace, which is something you should always define in your XUL root element. It says that this node and all child nodes are XUL. You only need to change namespace declarations when you mix different types of content in the same document, such as XUL with HTML or SVG.
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://xulschoolhello/content/browserOverlay.js" />
Just like in HTML, this includes a JavaScript script file. You can have as many script elements in a XUL document as you need. We'll look into its code later.
We'll skip some code that is covered in the locale section, moving on to the most important part of the content:
<menubar id="main-menubar"> <menu id="xulschoolhello-hello-menu" label="&xulschoolhello.hello.label;" accesskey="&xulschoolhello.helloMenu.accesskey;" insertafter="helpMenu"> ubar> <vbox id="appmenuSecondaryPane"> <menu id="xulschoolhello-hello-menu-2" label="&xulschoolhello.hello.label;" accesskey="&xulschoolhello.helloMenu.accesskey;" insertafter="appmenu_addons"> <menupopup> <menuitem id="xulschoolhello-hello-menu-item-2" label="&xulschoolhello.hello.label;" accesskey="&xulschoolhello.helloItem.accesskey;" oncommand="XULSchoolChrome.BrowserOverlay.sayHello(event);" /> </menupopup> </menu> </vbox>
This is the code that adds the Hello World menu to the browser window.
There are two similar code blocks, because in modern versions of Firefox, particularly on Windows, a single Firefox menu button is presented, with simplified menu options, rather than an extensive menu bar. The second code block covers the common menu button case; the first code block covers all other cases. Check Menu Bar under the Options menu of the menu button to toggle display of the classic menu on Windows and some Linux distributions.
In order to write this code, we needed some knowledge of the XUL code in browser.xul. We needed to know that the id of the right pane in the unified menu is appmenuSecondaryPane. We're adding a menu of our own, and telling Firefox to add it in that pane, right after the Add-ons item. That's the purpose of the attribute:
insertafter="appmenu_addons"
appmenu_addons is the id of the menu element that corresponds to the Add-ons menu item in the main menu. We'll see later how we can find out things like the ids of browser elements, but for now let's look at the elements that compose the Hello World menu.
For the classic menu, we added the Hello World menu right in the "root" of the menu so that it would be very easy for you to spot it, but this is not a recommended practice. Imagine if all extensions added menus to the top menu; having a few extensions would make it look like an airplane dashboard, full of knobs and switches. In the case of the unified menu, things are a little more difficult due to lack of options. If your menu item fits in the Web Developer section, it is recommended that you add it there. Otherwise, the root menu might be your only recourse.
One recommended location for menus in the classic menu vase is under the Tools menu, so the code should really look like this:
<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup"> <menu id="xulschoolhello-hello-menu" label="&xulschoolhello.hello.label;" accesskey="&xulschoolhello.helloMenu.accesskey;" insertbefore="devToolsEndSeparator"> upopup>
We're overlaying the menu that is deeper into the XUL tree, but it doesn't matter because all we need is the id of the element we want to overlay. In this case it is the menupopup element that's inside of the Tools menu element. The insertbefore attribute tells Firefox to add the menu at the bottom of the dev tools section, above its end separator. We'll discuss more about menus later on in the tutorial.
Now let's look at the actual code:
oncommand="XULSchoolChrome.BrowserOverlay.sayHello(event);"
This attribute defines an event handler. The command event is the most frequently used in Firefox, since it corresponds to the main action for most UI elements. The value of the attribute is JavaScript code that invokes a function. This function is defined in the JS file that was included with the script tag. The JS function will be called once the user clicks on the menu item in the Hello World menu. All event handlers define a special object named event, which is usually good to pass as an argument to the function. Event handlers are explained in greater depth further ahead.
Now let's look at the JavaScript file and see what's going on when the event is fired.
/** * XULSchoolChrome namespace. */ if ("undefined" == typeof(XULSchoolChrome)) { var XULSchoolChrome = {}; };
The XULSchoolChrome namespace is defined. All objects and variables we define in this JavaScript are global, meaning that scripts in Firefox and other extensions can see them and interact with them. This also means that if we define an object called MenuHandler or some other generic name, it's likely going to conflict with an existing object. What we do here is define a single global object: XULSchoolChrome. Now we know that all of our objects are inside this object, which is unlikely to be duplicated or overwritten by other extensions.
You can read more about the typeof operator. If you're unfamiliar with JavaScript or this particular syntax, initializing an object as {} is the equivalent of initializing it to new Object().
/** * Controls the browser overlay for the Hello World extension. */ XULSchoolChrome.BrowserOverlay = {
Finally, BrowserOverlay is our object. Naming and referencing objects in such a long and verbose manner can feel uncomfortable at first, but it's worth the cost.
sayHello : function(aEvent) { let stringBundle = document.getElementById("xulschoolhello-string-bundle"); let message = stringBundle.getString("xulschoolhello.greeting.label"); window.alert(message); }
And, finally, this is our function declaration. Three lines of code are all we need for it to work. The first line in the body of the function declares a variable that will hold the stringbundle element defined in the overlay. The variable is declared using let, which is similar to var but with more restricted scope. Here you can read more about let declarations.
Just like in regular JS, we can use the DOM (Document Object Model) in order to manipulate the XUL document. First we get a reference of the stringbundle element in the document. This is a special element that allows us to obtain localized strings dynamically, by only providing a "key" that identifies the string. This is what we do on the second line. We call the getString method of the bundle element and get the localized message to be displayed. We then call the window.alert function with the message, just like we would do in an HTML document.
Locale
There are two types of locale files: DTD and properties, and in this example we use them both. DTD is the most efficient way of showing text in XUL, so you should use it whenever possible. It is somewhat inflexible so it can't be used for dynamically generated text, hence the need for an alternate way of getting localized strings.
Looking back at the menu code, you probably noticed some attributes such as this:
label="&xulschoolhello.hello.label;" accesskey="&xulschoolhello.helloItem.accesskey;"
These attributes define the text that you see on the menus, and they are string keys that are defined in our DTD file, browserOverlay.dtd. The DTD file was included in the XUL file with the following code:
<!DOCTYPE overlay SYSTEM "chrome://xulschoolhello/locale/browserOverlay.dtd" >
And in the DTD file you can see the association between keys and localized strings:
<!ENTITY xulschoolhello.hello.label "Hello World!"> <!ENTITY xulschoolhello.helloMenu.accesskey "l"> <!ENTITY xulschoolhello.helloItem.accesskey "H">
Notice that on the XUL file you enclose the string key with & and ; while on the DTD file you only specify the key. You may get weird parsing errors or incorrect localization if you don't get this right.
Access keys are the shortcuts that allow you to quickly navigate a menu using only the keyboard. They are also the only way to navigate a menu for people with accessibility problems, such as partial or total blindness, or physical disabilities that make using a mouse very difficult or impossible. You can easily recognize the access keys on Windows because the letter that corresponds to the access key is underlined, as in the following image:
Most user interface controls have the accesskey attribute, and you should use it. The value of the access key is localized because it should match a letter in the label text. You should also be careful to avoid access key repetition. For example, within a menu or submenu, access keys should not be repeated. In a window you have to be more careful picking access keys because there are usually more controls there. You have to be specially careful when picking access keys on an overlay. In our case, we can't use the letter "H" as an accesskey in the Main menu item, because it would be the same as the access key in the Help menu. Same goes with "W" and the Window menu on Mac OS. So we settled on the letter "l".
DTD strings are resolved and set when the document is being loaded. If you request the label attribute value for the Hello World menu using DOM, you get the localized string, not the string key. You cannot dynamically change an attribute value with a new DTD key, you have to set the new value directly:
let helloItem = document.getElementById("xulschoolhello-hello-menu-item"); // The alert will say "Hello World!" alert(helloItem.getAttribute("label")); // Wrong helloItem.setAttribute("label", "&xulschoolhello.hello2.label;"); // Better helloItem.setAttribute("label", "Alternate message"); // Right! helloItem.setAttribute("label", someStringBundle.getString("xulschoolhello.hello2.label"));
This is the reason DTD strings are not a solution for all localization cases, and the reason we often need to include string bundles in XUL files:
<stringbundleset id="stringbundleset"> <stringbundle id="xulschoolhello-string-bundle" src="chrome://xulschoolhello/locale/browserOverlay.properties" /> </stringbundleset>
The stringbundleset element is just a container for stringbundle elements. There should only be one per document, which is the reason why we overlay the stringbundleset that is in browser.xul, hence the very generic id. We don't include the insertbefore or insertafter attributes because the ordering of string bundles doesn't make a difference. The element is completely invisible. If you don't include any of those ordering attributes in an overlay element, Firefox will just append your element as the last child of the parent element.
All you need for the string bundle is an id (to be able to fetch the element later) and the chrome path to the properties file. And, of course, you need the properties file:
xulschoolhello.greeting.label = Hi! How are you?
The whitespace around the equals sign is ignored. Just like in install.rdf, comments can be added using the # character at the beginning of the line. Empty lines are ignored as well.
You will often want to include dynamic content as part of localized strings, like when you want to inform the user about some stat related to the extension. For example: "Found 5 words matching the search query". Your first idea would probably be to simply concatenate strings, and have one "Found" property and another "words matching..." property. This is not a good idea. It greatly complicates the work of localizers, and grammar rules on different languages may change the ordering of the sentence entirely. For this reason it's better to use parameters in the properties:
xulschoolhello.search.label = Found %S words matching the search query!
Then you use getFormattedString instead of getString in order to get the localized string. Thanks to this we don't need to have multiple properties, and life is easier for translators. You can read more about it on the Text Formatting section of the XUL Tutorial. Also have a look at the Plurals and Localization article, that covers a localization feature in Firefox that allows you to further refine this last example to handle different types of plural forms that are also language-dependent.
Skin
Styling XUL is very similar to styling HTML. We'll look into some of the differences when we cover the XUL Box Model, and other more advanced topics. There isn't much styling you can do to a minimal menu and a very simple alert message, so the Hello World extension only includes an empty CSS file and the compulsory global skin file:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="chrome://global/skin/" ?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="chrome://xulschoolhello/skin/browserOverlay.css" ?>
The global skin CSS file holds the default styles for all XUL elements and windows. Forgetting to include this file in a XUL window usually leads to interesting and often unwanted results. In our case we don't really need to include it, since we're overlaying the main browser XUL file, and that file already includes this global CSS. At any rate it's better to always include it. This way it's harder to make the mistake of not including it. You can enter the chrome path in the location bar and inspect the file if you're curious.
This covers all of the files in the Hello World extension. Now you should have an idea of the basics involved in extension development, so now we'll jump right in and set up a development environment. But first, a little exercise.
Exercise
Make the following changes to the example extension:
- Edit the welcome message that is displayed in the alert window.
- Move the Hello World menu to the Tools menu, where it belongs.
Repackage the XPI. Issue the following command from within the extension root directory on Linux or Mac OS X:
zip -r ../xulschoolhello2.xpi *
On Windows, use a ZIP tool to compress all files and subdirectories within the extension root directory. Name the file with extension .xpi
Re-install the XPI. You can just drag the XPI file to the browser and it will be installed locally.
Test it and verify your changes worked. If you run into problems at installation, it's likely that you didn't reproduce the XPI structure correctly, maybe adding unnecessary folders.
.XPI. Do not zip the containing folder, just its contents. The
contentfolder,
chrome.manifest,
install.rdf, and other files and directories should be at the root level of your archive. If you zip the containing folder, your extension will not load.
Note that the Tools menu is hidden by default on Firefox 4 and above, on Windows and some Linux distributions. Check Menu Bar under the Options menu of the Firefox menu button to enable it.
Once you're done, you can look at this reference solution: Hello World 2.

Oh, except for the camera issue. Which I've made pretty much no progress on, after having beaten my head against it off and on for a couple of weeks. It's reminding me in no uncertain terms of why I no longer write software for a living. This problem is bullshit and I hate working on it. So basically, I'm ready to admit defeat and throw all that plywood on the scrap heap unless someone else solves this problem for me.
Given the choices of "never have a photo booth" and "continue working on this software problem", I gleefully choose the former.
<lj-cut
Things I believe to be true:
The only sensible way to talk to cameras from MacOS is to use ImageCapture.framework.
- IOkit.framework is too low level.
- Gphoto2 doesn't work.
- libptp2 doesn't work.
- ptpcanon doesn't work.
- The official binary-only Canon SDK is junk, according to people who have actually used it.
The Canon Powershot S30 camera supports a bunch of undocumented commands. I have seen Canon's binary-only software do things, with this very camera, like:
- Turn the viewfinder on and off;
- Return a JPEG of the current viewfinder image;
- Take a picture, with flash, and return a JPEG of it without any CF card in the camera.
This camera only advertises two commands, "download file from CF card", and "delete file from CF card". This is according to the Apple CapabilitiesSample demo. Those commands work (e.g., via the SimpleDownload demo.)
Just pasting in the hex codes for the undocumented commands in ICAObjectSendMessagePB.message.messageType doesn't work. I don't know if the commands are actually being sent to the camera, or if the framework is filtering them before they get there, or what.
Wrapping a kICAMessageCameraPassThrough command around these undocumented commands doesn't work either, after cutting and pasting its definition into my code. Maybe PassThrough is a part of the ImageCapture framework, maybe not. It's documented in the ImageCapture SDK, but is not present in any of the installed ImageCapture.framework header files. Is it from some hypothetical future version of the framework? Or is it only supported by some hypothetical camera driver that is not installed by default? I have no idea.
Here's how you can help:
Find me source code that runs on MacOS and that talks to a Canon point-and-shoot camera (I believe they're all the same) and that does something more complicated than "download a file from the CF card; delete it."
Find me someone to talk to who understands and has used ImageCapture.framework in some nontrivial way. This person will be an Apple employee, because as far as I can tell, nobody who is not an Apple employee has ever touched it.
Modify the following code to do something useful, and show me what you did.
Here's some code that doesn't work:
/* A halfassed attempt at using ImageCapture.framework g++ -o test -g -Wall test.mm -framework Carbon */ #import <Carbon/Carbon.h> /* As far as I can tell, this shit should be in /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageCapture.framework/Versions/A/Headers/ICAApplication.h but it's not.

Function with Matrix input [closed]
Hello Guys i have the following problem.
I want to write a function whose input is a Matrix. A small example:
def Dimension(Matrix): n = Matrix.nrows() return n A = ([1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]) print Dimension(A)
but then i get :
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'nrows'
How can I write i function that has an Matrix as input?
It would be better if you call the function with a matrix as input and not a tuple
Oops... that was quite some fail... Sorry :)
@bruno171092 The forum is exactly made for questions! If you are happy with my comment, could you close the question? | https://ask.sagemath.org/question/31787/function-with-matrix-input/ | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | refinedweb | 115 | 75.2 |
I think everyone who has ever coded knows or at least has seen this problem: You write a function/method and the after after that you begin to code another version of it and want to somehow let the world know, that yesterdays version should no longer be used. Right, I’m talking about deprecating stuff in your program.
But how do you want to let everyone know about this change in your API? You could simply write it into the documentation which is like a friendly and soft reminder. But an even better and stronger way would be, to let the compiler or interpreter of your program give a warning if a deprecated function is called, a deprecated classobject is generated.
Some languages out there support this kind of strong but still gentle reminder: So far I’ve seen examples in Java 1.5 and C#/Mono. I would have expected C and C++ having similiar features but I could only find the documentation way of deprecating stuff. If someone knows of ways to mark methods etc. as deprecated in any other language, please let me know :-)
Here I just want to show a little example about how it works in C#/Mono. In C# you can annotate everything using predefined or custom attributes. The attributes are added in brackets in front of the rest of the declaration:
[ATTRIBUTE] public void Main();
There are quite a few predefined attributes and attribute classes but only one is important for us right now: Obsolete. I’ve written a small sample code that sets to components as obsolete: A class variable and a class method.
using System; public class Test{ [Obsolete]static String TestString = "Hello"; [Obsolete]public static void Whatever(){ Console.WriteLine("{0} world",Test.TestString); } public static void Main(){ Test.Whatever(); } }
When compiling this piece of code, you will get warnings because of the obsolete state of these components:
zerok@intrepid:~/tmp $ mcs Test.cs Test.cs(3) warning CS0612: 'Test.TestString' is obsolete Test.cs(5) warning CS0612: 'Test.TestString' is obsolete Test.cs(8) warning CS0612: 'Test.Whatever()' is obsolete Compilation succeeded - 3 warning(s)
Quite handy :-)
Again: If you know of ways to mark stuff deprecated in other languages please let me know :-)

If our business is lucky enough to make it past its first few years, we often need to address the next hurdle: scaling. In this guide, we take a look at scaling from the perspective of internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n). We address workflow efficiency and how localization technology can save us time and money as we scale, keeping us competitive through a laser focus on our core offering.
Our minimum viable product (MVP)
Let’s say we’re a fantastic new e-commerce startup called HandiRaft, with a goal of connecting artisans with customers who want to buy bespoke crafts. We’ve decided that our MPV will include iOS and Android apps, and a web app for desktop users. To reduce risk and validate our core offering as quickly as possible, we’ve built our mobile apps with Flutter and our web app with React.
Our Flutter mobile MVP: one codebase for both Android and iOS saves us time and money
Our desktop MVP with React
An offering like ours has some technical challenges right out of the gate:
- Handling payments, including security, which we can outsource to a service like Stripe.
- Creating an admin panel for creators, which our MVP would include in the web/desktop app, with some roles and permission management for buyers and creators.
- Handling the ecommerce experience, including buyer accounts, the shopping cart, orders, and returns/refunds.
- Ensuring we have excellent customer support, which we can outsource the tech solution for while keeping our support staff in-house for the best customer experience.

Localizing software
Connecting buyers and artisans all over the world means taking a global approach to our offering. At the very least, we need to internationalize our public-facing apps and localize them for our most prominent target markets. This isn’t too difficult with Flutter and React.
🤿 Go deeper » Our Complete Guide to Software Localization goes into much more detail regarding what software localization is, its strategic importance for your business, and best practices for optimizing your localization workflows.
Localizing the mobile app
Flutter includes a robust first-party i18n library, and it can kickstart our mobile app i18n in a hurry. Here’s the skinny:
- We have localization ARB files, one per supported locale.
- We wire up the i18n library to our app and use its built-in code generation to load translation strings from these ARB files, instead of hard-coding them in our UI.
. └── lib/ ├── l10n/ │ ├── app_en.arb # English translations │ ├── app_ar.arb # Arabic translations │ └── ... # etc. │ ├── main.dart # Connects the Flutter localizations package │ # to our app │ └── widgets/ ├── creator_card.dart # Widgets import localization packages; │ # resolve and use current locale │ # translation strings │ └── ... # etc.
Here’s what our
main.dart file looks like:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart'; import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localizations.dart'; import 'pages/home_page.dart'; void main() { runApp(const MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( onGenerateTitle: (context) { return AppLocalizations.of(context)!.appTitle; }, localizationsDelegates: const [ AppLocalizations.delegate, GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate, GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate, GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate, ], supportedLocales: const [ Locale('en', ''), Locale('ar', ''), ], theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.deepOrange, ), home: const HomePage(), ); } }
🔗 Resource » The full code of this app is under the
flutter_appdirectory of our companion GitHub repo.
Our translation
.arb files are basically JSON.
{ "appTitle": "HandiCraft", "featuredCreators": "Featured Creators", "searchPlaceholder": "Find creator or product", "topRated": "Top Rated", "featured": "Featured", "search": "Search", "cart": "Cart", "account": "Account", // ... }
{ ", // ... }
Our widgets use prebuilt localization libraries to translate their UI:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localizations.dart'; BottomNavigationBar makeBottomNavBar(BuildContext context) { var theme = Theme.of(context); // Ensures that translations matching the currently active // locale are loaded var t = AppLocalizations.of(context)!; return BottomNavigationBar( type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed, selectedItemColor: theme.primaryColorDark, selectedFontSize: 13, unselectedFontSize: 13, items: [ BottomNavigationBarItem( label: t.featured, // Pulls translation icon: const Icon(Icons.star), ), BottomNavigationBarItem( label: t.search, // Pulls translation icon: const Icon(Icons.search), ), // ... ], ); }
Our mobile app localized in Arabic
🤿 Go deeper » A Guide to Flutter Localization goes into localizing an app with the Flutter localization package in much more detail.
Localizing the web/desktop app
React doesn’t offer i18n out of the box, but the very popular i18next library has an excellent React integration we can use. The localization process is similar to our mobile app: We move our hard-coded UI strings to per-locale translation files and load the translation file corresponding to the active locale.
. ├── public/ │ ├── index.html │ └── locales/ │ ├── en/ │ │ └── translation.json # English translations │ ├── ar/ │ │ └── translaton.json # Arabic translations │ │ │ └── ... # etc. └── src/ ├── index.js # Loads i18n.js to initialize it ├── services/ │ └── i18n.js # Bootstraps our i18n library └── features/ ├── Creators/ │ └── CreatorCard.js # Imports i18n library and uses/ │ # current locale translation │ # strings │ └── ... # etc.
Our i18n bootstrap file basically initializes the i18next library.
import i18next from "i18next"; import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next"; import HttpApi from "i18next-http-backend"; i18next .use(initReactI18next) .use(HttpApi) .init({ debug: true, lng: "en", interpolation: { escapeValue: false, }, }); export default i18next;
🔗 Resource » The full code of this app is under the
react_appdirectory of our companion GitHub repo.
The
index.js entry point simply imports the file to init the library.
import React from "react"; import ReactDOM from "react-dom"; import "./services/i18n"; import App from "./App"; ReactDOM.render( <React.StrictMode> {/* We use React Suspense to show a loading message while our translation file downloads */} <React.Suspense <App /> </React.Suspense> </React.StrictMode>, document.getElementById("root") );
i18next will automatically load our translation files from the URI
/locales/{locale}/translation.json. These translation files look a lot like our Flutter ARB files.
{ "appTitle": "HandiCraft", "featuredCreators": "Featured Creators", "searchPlaceholder": "Find creator or product", "topRated": "Top Rated", "featured": "Featured", "search": "Search", "cart": "Cart", "account": "Account", "copyright": "Copyright", // ... }
{ ", "copyright": "حقوق النشر", // ... }
Our React components then just import the i18next instance and use it to display UI strings translated in the active locale.
// MUI framework: Material components for React import { Card, CardContent, Typography, // ... } from "@mui/material"; // Imports the initialized i18next instance import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"; export default function CreatorCard(props) { const { t } = useTranslation(); return ( <Card> {/* ... */} <CardContent> <Typography> // Pulls translation for active locale {t("specialties")} </Typography> {/* ... */} </CardContent> </Card> ); }
🤿 Go deeper » We cover localizing React apps with i18next in a lot of detail in our Guide to React Localization with i18next.
Et voilà. It takes a little bit of work, but the payoff is reaching a wider global audience.
Our localized desktop app
Scaling issues: analyzing our localization solution
We’ve been able to localize our app into multiple languages, and our buyer and creator base has grown dramatically. In fact, we’ve secured some good funding and we’re ready to scale up our offering and go deeper into the UX and the value we can provide to our community. There’s a lot to tackle, including localization.
Our current architecture, including localization
While our current i18n/l10n solution has kept us light on our feet, our product teams may start to complain about annoyingly inefficient workflows with the ever-increasing volume of content and languages being added:
- Translators have to manage text files that travel back and forth to developers to integrate into app codebases.
- Designers have to communicate screen updates to both developers and translators.
- Developers find they often need to provide screenshots to translators to give them context around new translation strings.
- Translators have to manage duplicate strings in the same app, and duplication across apps.
- Translations add complexity to managing feature flags, branches, and versions for our apps.
To solve these issues, we consider building our own localization admin backend. However, our very expensive engineering time would then be spread between this new backend and our much-needed updates across our public-facing apps. We would also have to maintain this backend in the future, which is time, effort, and attention that could be better spent on broadening and refining our core offering.
Taking the plunge: a software localization platform to the rescue
Lucky for us, others have done the hard work of clearing the workflow bottlenecks we face when we scale our localization. These software localization platforms provide a slew of localization tech services: from syncing translations and web consoles for translators to all kinds of automation and integration. By outsourcing our localization tech to a localization platform, we can focus on our core offering, ensuring that our time and effort are directed towards providing the best product we can for our customers. We’re a bit biased, but we think Phrase is a pretty darn good software localization platform, so we’ll use Phrase here.
🗒 Note » For brevity, we will largely cover connecting our Flutter app to Phrase. The steps for connecting our React app are almost identical. We will also focus on setting up Phrase, GitHub syncing, and managing translation duplication. However, Phrase offers solutions to all the problems we listed above.
Project setup
If you don’t have an organization in Phrase set up yet, you can get a free trial so you can jump in and play around with it yourself. Once we have access, we can create two projects: one for our Flutter app and one for our React app.
After saving, we can add English and Arabic as languages to our project, and skip the rest of the setup.
Connecting the Phrase CLI
To begin syncing our translations between our apps and our Phrase projects, we need to initialize the projects using the Phrase command line interface (CLI). Installing the CLI is straightforward, and you can easily find instructions to do so for your operating system of choice. I’m on macOS, and I’ll use the Homebrew package manager to install the Phrase CLI from my command line:
# Add Phrase Homebrew repository $ brew tap phrase/brewed # Install Phrase CLI $ brew install phrase
Once the CLI is installed, we can use it to connect each of our projects. For example, we can connect our Flutter project by navigating to its root directory in the command line and running the following command.
$ phrase init
At this point, we’re asked for an access token.
Access tokens are generated from our Phrase organization page. Once logged in to Phrase, we can click our name near the top-right of the screen and select Profile Settings from the dropdown. We can then click the Access Tokens tab near the top of the Profile Settings page, and click the Generate button to get a new token.
Token generated, we can copy and paste it into the CLI prompt to continue project initialization. The next step is choosing the Phrase project to link to our app. We’ll pick our Flutter Handiraft project, of course.
After selecting the translation file format, ARB for our Flutter project, we can provide the relative file paths to our translation files.
At this point the Phrase CLI will create a
.phrase.yml config file that connects our app to the Phrase project, and will ask us if we want to perform an upload (push) of our translation files up to Phrase. Let’s do so by entering
y and pressing Enter.
Our translations should now be up on the Phrase console, and we can see them if we navigate to Projects ➞ flutter-handiraft ➞ Languages and then click on a language.
The translator experience
At this point, the power of a software localization platform should start becoming apparent. Our translators can utilize the Phrase web interface—they can search, filter, add, remove, update, see changes, verify/unverify, and even do team management using a job assignment interface—all while our developers are busy working on core e-commerce functionality for our customers. We’ve saved countless design and engineering hours by not rolling our own console for translators, and given translators a platform that is designed and built for their workflows.
Connecting developers and translators
When developers add a new feature, they just have to
phrase push their new translation keys from the command line. The translators take it from there, and once their translations are polished and ready, they can notify the developers, who perform a
phrase pull and get back to writing the creative code they love. No need for exchanging and manually merging translation files. In fact, because the Phrase CLI supports all major operating systems, we can automate to our heart’s content. From an engineering perspective, localization becomes a simple step in our DevOps flow.
GitHub sync and continuous localization
As developers, we’re used to tight, cyclical build cycles that aim for continuous integration and continuous delivery. Localization can seamlessly be part of this through repository syncing: when we push a commit to a certain branch, Phrase can react by refreshing its translations, and our translators can get to localizing immediately. Let’s set this up for HandiRaft.
✋🏽 Heads up » We need to connect our apps to Phrase with
.phrase.ymlfiles in our Flutter and React apps to make GitHub sync work. The
phrase initcommand we ran earlier took care of this for us.
🗒 Note » We’re covering GitHub sync here, but Phrase can sync with Bitbucket and GitLab repos as well.
🤿 Go deeper » Take a look at our glossary entry on continuous localization, which covers best practices and goes deeper into the continuous localization workflow than we do here.
Generating a GitHub access token
The first thing we need to do to connect GitHub to our Phrase projects is generate an access token from GitHub. Once we’ve logged into our GitHub account, we can click our profile picture near the top-right of the screen and go to Settings ➞ Developer settings ➞ Personal access tokens ➞ Generate new token. This will open the New personal access token screen, and we can get our spicy new token from there.
🗒 Note » If our project repos are private, we’ll need the entire repo scope for our token. If the repos are public, however, we just need the public_repo scope.
Clicking the Generate token button will give us a token we can copy to a safe place. Said token in hand (or in clipboard), we can head back to Phrase, log in, and head to Projects ➞ flutter-handicraft ➞ Project settings ➞ GitHub Sync.
After providing our GitHub access token, selecting our repo and branch, validating our
.phrase.yml config via the Validate Configuration button, and clicking Save, we’re ready to sync our Phrase translations with our GitHub repo.
By default, our translators would have to manually pull translation updates from our GitHub repo by going to Languages ➞ GitHub Sync ➞ Import from GitHub.
Auto-importing using a webhook
Manual import can be exactly what your team needs. However, we can automate the import by adding a webhook to our GitHub repo that triggers whenever our chosen branch gets a new commit pushed to it. The webhook can then automatically import translations from our repo to our Phrase project.
To enable auto-import, we need to head back to our Project settings ➞ GitHub Sync, then check the Enable auto-import from GitHub. This will reveal a Generate payload URL button worthy of a good clicking.
A Payload URL is revealed, which we can copy to a safe place. Let’s click Save and make our way to GitHub to set up the auto-import webhook.
From our GitHub repo’s home page, let’s navigate to Settings ➞ Webhooks and click Add webhook.
We just need to paste our Payload URL in its namesake field and make sure the Content type is set to application/json. Leaving all other fields as they are, we can click Add webhook, and we’re set.
Continuous integration, continuous localization
With auto importing in place, we can now simply work in our normal Git flow and ensure that our translators get the latest translation keys as soon as they’re ready for them to translate. From an engineering perspective, translation becomes part of our continuous integration flow:
- We work on a new feature, adding and updating translations in the source language (say English).
- As soon as the feature starts taking shape, we push a commit to the branch that we registered with the Phrase projects.
- Translators automatically receive the new translation keys in their Phrase project and use Phrase to efficiently translate our new feature to all our supported locales.
- When they’re done, translators export a pull request (PR) to GitHub, which we can review and merge.
It’s really that easy. Let’s see it in action. Let’s say we’re adding a social forum section to our offering, where pro and hobbyist artisans can talk about their craft. We’ll have some new strings in our new screens, of course. While we develop, we add these strings to our development language, English.
{ // ... "artisanChat": "Artisan chat", "createPost": "Create a post", "publish": "Publish", "rulesOfConduct": "Rules of conduct" }
We feel that the forum is heading in the right direction, and we want to get our localization team working on it ASAP. So we simply push a commit to the branch connected to our Phrase project,
main in this case.
As soon as we do, our new translations are available in Phrase.
Our translators take over now, utilizing all the power of Phrase to manage and translate the new strings into all the locales we support. Our translators could have dozens of languages to manage here, and they’re using Phrase’s translation features to take care of that. We’re busy plugging away at our feature code. Once their translations are ready, they just need to export a PR for us to look at.
This is easily done on the Phrase console by going to Project ➞ Languages ➞ GitHub Sync ➞ Export to GitHub as pull request.
The PR immediately appears in our GitHub repo.
Just like any other PR, we can review and merge it in, making the new translations available to our whole team without us doing anything outside of our normal workflow: Git push, PR, review, merge. Presto.
So Phrase saves our engineering team many precious hours, and headaches, by automating localization integration.
🔗 Resource » You can get the source code for our mocked-up apps from the companion GitHub repos: the Flutter app repo and the React app repo.
Saving time for translators: translation memory
This article is aimed at developers, but I do want to briefly touch on a few features in Phrase that save translators time. One issue translators often face is duplicate translations, especially across multiple apps in the same offering. For example, the HandiRaft Flutter and React apps share a lot of the same translation keys.
We can dramatically reduce the amount of effort around duplicate translations across apps by enabling Phrase’s translation memory. After we log into Phrase, we can find it in the sidebar to the left of the screen.
Once on the translation memory page, we just need to select the Phrase projects to connect and then click Update settings. Of course, here we’ll connect our flutter-handiraft and react-handiraft projects.
Our web team has been busy updating our React app to include the social forum feature that the Flutter team started earlier. Of course, the React app’s new translation strings are very similar to ones recently added to the Flutter app. However, instead of spending time re-translating these strings, our translators can use the enabled translation memory to get automatic autocomplete suggestions and populate their translations with one button, while reviewing them to ensure quality.
Translation memory + autocomplete can save our translators countless hours across a project. But Phrase gives translators much more than that:
- Comments so that translators can collaborate with the translation right in front of them
- See changes in the translation and the ability to revert to earlier versions of a translation
- An in-context editor so translator can translate directly on the interface of web apps
- And much more
Wrapping up our tutorial on how to localize software at scale
Back to my engineering tribe, we’ve covered Phrase’s CLI and GitHub sync, but Phrase is built by developers for developers, so it gives us a lot more goodies:
- Support for almost every translation file format under the sun
- An API we can connect to
- Branching
- Over the Air (OTA) translations for mobile apps
- And much more
We hope you’ve seen how much a platform like Phrase can save your team time and money as your app scales, allowing you to focus on your core offering while leaving the heavy lifting regarding localization tech to Phrase. Are there topics that we missed here that you would like us to cover? Let us know in the comments below.

GameFromScratch.com
This post popped up on reddit a few days back and didn’t really get a ton of interest. I almost missed it myself, but I am glad I didn’t. Off and on the last couple days, I’ve been playing around with BDX and I have to say, there is the kernel of something really cool here!
First off, let me say BDX is really young and it shows some times. You do some things wrong and you are left with either a crashing game or a cryptic Python error message. Armature support is currently missing as are a few other features I looked for. The community is currently small and we are talking a 0.10 release here… I had to work around a couple bugs, the Android SDK path was getting an extra “ added and I simply can’t get gradle import to work with IntelliJ without hacking out the Android project. So expect some warts and experimentation. It’s worth it though, this is pretty cool stuff, as you will now see.
Oh yeah, there is also a video version of this post. It’s also embedded below if you scroll down. It covers basically the same topics as this tutorial.
So, what exactly is BDX? Well basically it’s a Java library built over top of LibGDX adding 3D support. Essentially I suppose you can think of it as a 3D scene graph. Then the cool part… it’s also a plugin to Blender that turns Blender into your 3D world editor. Basically you create your assets and world in Blender, apply properties using the BGE and Physics portions of Blender, then export and run. To a much lesser degree, it is also a code generator… sort of. Let’s take a look at how it works now…
First off, you need to have a Java JDK installed, personally I am using JDK 1.7. If you are going to be building BDX from sources ( we wont here ) you also need Ant installed. If you have trouble, watch this video on configuring a Java/LibGDX development environment. It’s more than what you need, but will certainly get you running.
Next head on over to the BDX download page and download the BDX zip file. If you happen to be running on Mac, turn off that infernal “automatically run trusted downloads” setting, as you want the file to remain zipped.
Of course, you will also need Blender installed. You can download it here. For the record I, at the time of writing this, am using 2.73a and as you can see from the screenshot above, 0.1.1 of BDX.
Please note, I WILL NOT be covering how to use Blender in this post, except for the configuration bit below. Fortunately I’ve got that down already, so if you are brand new to Blender run through this tutorial series. It will cover everything you need to get started (and more).
At this point I assume you have Blender installed and BDX downloaded. Now we need to set it up in Blender. Don’t worry, it’s pretty simple.
Load Blender up.
In the menu, select File->User Preferences…
Select the Add-ons tab, then Install From Disk:
Now navigate to and select Bdx.zip then click “Install from File…”
Now we need to enable the plugin. Back in the Add-ons tab, on the left hand side toggle the option Testing. Import-Export: BDX should now appear as an option. Click the Checkbox beside the dynamite icon.
BDX should now be ready to use!
BDX does an impressive job of wrapping the project generator for you. Coincidentally if you see the LibGDX project wizard you’ve made a mistake!
In Blender, make sure you are in Default view to start:
Now, assuming you are running factory settings, look for the Properties window on the right hand side, and scroll down to locate the BDX settings:
Fill in the settings like so:
Click Create BDX project. For Java Package, make sure to give the entire name, not just the url qualifier. Base Path is the directory the project will be created in, while Directory is the folder within that directory that will be created. So using the above settings, you will get the directory c:\temp\bdxdemo.
Once you click the Create BDX project, the magic begins!
It will churn away for a few seconds, and assuming no errors occurred, it should create a new scene for you like so:
A complete but very simple “game” created for you. A couple things to notice. First your Blender now has a new display mode “BDX” available:
This enables you to switch in and out of the BDX view you see in the screenshot above. Also, the controls in the BDX scene are now completely different:
Go ahead and click Export and Run. This will package your Blender scene, generate some Java code for you, call the Java compiler and assuming no errors, run your game.
Cool stuff!
So basically you can now create and edit a world in Blender and code it using LibGDX. Let’s take a look at the code portion now… actually, lets look at the project this created. Go to the directory you specified earlier.
So, here’s the directory structure that is created, with the critical directories expanded:
If you’ve done any LibGDX development, most of the structure should be immediately obvious. You get one directory for each project ( android, desktop, html, ios ), then all of the common code goes in to core. All of the assets ( graphics, scenes, data files, etc… ) that make up your game are put in the assets folder of the android folder.
The other folder of note is the Blender folder. This is where your Blender .blend files are generated/stored. In many ways, when using BDX, this becomes the heart of your project. You re-open the .blend file in Blender to reload your project.
So far we’ve just used Blender… how exactly do we work in Java?
Well the code is located in core/src/com/yourdomain/yourproject.
There are a pair of files generated by default here. First is BdxApp.java
This is your main application class implementing ApplicationListener. Here is the code below:
package com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo;
import java.util.HashMap;
import com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationListener;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL20;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.PerspectiveCamera;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g3d.ModelBatch;
import com.nilunder.bdx.Bdx;
import com.nilunder.bdx.GameObject;
import com.nilunder.bdx.Scene;
import com.nilunder.bdx.Instantiator;
import com.nilunder.bdx.utils.*;
import com.nilunder.bdx.inputs.*;
public class BdxApp implements ApplicationListener {
public PerspectiveCamera cam;
public ModelBatch modelBatch;
@Override
public void create() {
modelBatch = new ModelBatch();
Bdx.init();
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(new GdxProcessor(Bdx.keyboard, Bdx.mouse, Bdx.allocatedFingers));
Scene.instantiators = new HashMap<String, Instantiator>();
Scene.instantiators.put("Scene", new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.inst.iScene());
Bdx.scenes.add(new Scene("Scene"));
}
@Override
public void dispose() {
modelBatch.dispose();
}
@Override
public void render() {
Bdx.profiler.start("__graphics");
Gdx.gl.glViewport(0, 0, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
Bdx.profiler.stop("__graphics");
Bdx.updateInput();
Bdx.profiler.stop("__input");
for (Scene s : (ArrayListNamed<Scene>)Bdx.scenes.clone()){
s.update();
Bdx.profiler.start("__render");
renderScene(s);
Bdx.profiler.stop("__render");
}
Bdx.profiler.update();
}
public void renderScene(Scene scene){
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
modelBatch.begin(scene.cam);
for (GameObject g : scene.objects){
if (g.visible()){
modelBatch.render(g.modelInstance);
}
}
modelBatch.end();
}
@Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
}
@Override
public void pause() {
}
@Override
public void resume() {
}
}
If you’ve worked in LibGDX before, this should all look pretty straight forward. Basically it’s setting up the BDX classes and a regular LibGDX render loop.
However, the part that is critical to understand is this little line… it goes a long way towards figuring out how BDX actually works:
Scene.instantiators = new HashMap<String, Instantiator>();
Scene.instantiators.put("Scene", new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.inst.iScene());
This is the special sauce that links Blender and LibGDX together. If you look in sub directory inst, you will see a class named iScene.java:("Sacky"))
return new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.Sacky();
return super.newObject(gobj);
}
}
This is actually an area I struggled with at first because I kept editing it by hand, then when I would run the game my changes were being overwritten! GRRRRRR… Then it dawned on me, BDX is also a code generator. This file is being created automatically when you click the “Export and Run” button.
So what exactly is it doing? Well basically it loops through each object in the Blender scene by name and creates the cooresponding Java class in our scene. For example, when it finds an object named “Sacky” in the Blender scene, it then creates a new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.Sacky instance in our java code. Essentially this is the link between Blender and Java.
Wait, you might ask… what the heck is a Sacky?
Great question!
First, lets take a look at our Blender scene graph:
Ahhh… so that’s a “Sacky”. It’s basically a texture mesh in Blender that’s been named Sacky. So… where exactly is the class Sacky.java? If you look in the code directory:
No Sacky.java.
This is because by default the code is actually “embedded” in the blend file. In the BDX control buttons, there is a button “Make internal java files external”. Click it:
Now in your src folder you should see:
Ahhh, much better. At this point you can actually import the gradle project into your favorite IDE and work normally. You only need to return to Blender and click Export and Run when you make changes to the Blender scene.
NOTE: I am using IntelliJ and had a problem with the gradle import. It really doesn’t like the android gradle version created by default, but updating the version number caused other dependencies to break… oh the joy of Java build systems. I personally just hacked out everything but desktop and core from the gradle build. Leave a comment if you want more details how to do this… if you run into the same problem that is.
The heart of the BDX scenegraph is GameObject. It’s basically a thing in the world, often called an entity or node in other engines. Here for example is Sacky.java:
package com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo;
import com.nilunder.bdx.*;
public class Sacky extends GameObject{
public void main(){
if (Bdx.keyboard.keyHit("space"))
applyForce(0, 0, 300);
}
}
GameObjects have a couple key methods. main() you see above is what you traditionally think of as update or tick. It is called each frame, so this is where you update your objects logic. There is also init() called on creation and onEnd() called when removed. In the above example you simply poll to see if the user hits space, and if they do apply 300 “force” along the Z axis. BDX makes use of the physics properties of Blender, as we will see shortly.
In a nutshell, the things that make up your game are GameObjects. Under the curtain, GameObjects are still LibGDX classes we know and love, let’s take a quick look behind the curtain with a debugger and inspect what makes up Sacky here…
Essentially GameObject is a fairly light wrapper over the LibGDX ModelInstance class, which is what you ultimately get when you import a 3D model into LibGDX. It holds all the nodes, animations, geometry and bones that make up an object. Unfortunately bone animation isn’t currently supported by BDX. You may also notice that each GameObject holds a reference to the Scene that contains it.
Scene itself is essentially the scene graph. That is, the container that holds the contents of your game ( the GameObjects, Cameras, etc ):
All told, pretty straight forward stuff and a good reminder that below it all, LibGDX is still right there, just slightly wrapped.
Now let’s actually look at creating your own GameObject. This is basically what the majority of your game development workflow will look like in BDX. It’s a multistep process, but isn’t difficult.
First, in Blender, simply add a new object. I am going to add a new Mesh->Cube:
Now in the scene graph select your newly created Cube, rename it to MyCube:
Now if you select Export and Run, you will now see your Cube:
Now let’s wire some code to it.
In the same directory as your App and the existing Sacky.java file, create a new Java class named MyCube.java, with the following contents:
package com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo;
import com.nilunder.bdx.*;
public class MyCube extends GameObject{
public void main(){
if (Bdx.keyboard.keyHit("space"))
visible(!visible());
}
}
Next in Blender click the Export and Run button. Now when you press the spacebar, the visibility of the newly created cube will now toggle.
You will notice something… now that we have an object named MyCube in Blender and a class named MyCube.java, when we click the Export button, the iScene.java class is being auto generated each time:("MyCube"))
return new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.MyCube();
if (name.equals("Sacky"))
return new com.gamefromscratch.bdxdemo.Sacky();
return super.newObject(gobj);
}
}
Again, this is basically the glue that ties Java and Blender together
An un-textured cube isn’t exactly exciting, so let’s quickly texture our cube. To do so, switch to edit mode in Blender, select all vertices and unwrap. Then create a new material, then a new texture. Watch the attached video for more details of this process.
There is one critical part you need to be aware of, thus why I am bothering to mention it at all. When generating your texture map, you need to put it in your assets folder! So when saving it, save it to the correct folder, like so:
To the following location:
If you don’t implicitly save it to this folder, or a sub-directory, your code will die on execution. Oh, another top tip… DO NOT RUN YOUR GAME WHILE IN EDIT MODE! Yeah, it doesn’t work. I’m guessing it’s a bug, but always switch back to object mode before running.
Now that we’ve got our cube textured, let’s run it:
Very cool.
You can also make objects physics objects using Blender. With your object selected selected the Physics tab in Blender:
You can now set the object to static ( unmoving ), dynamic ( affected by physics but not moving on its own ) or rigid body ( fully simulated physics ):
All other options are ignored, so stick to those three or No Collision.
For a Rigid Body there are a number of properties you can select. You can also determine the bounding type. Your choices are limited to Box (uses a bounding box to determine boundaries), Sphere (uses a sphere instead) and Mesh (uses the mesh itself. More accurate but much more CPU intensive):
As you can see, you can also configure Mass, velocity, etc.
Another cool feature is you can actually set properties using Blender and access them in your code. Therefore you can use Blender as a proper game editor, setting properties such as HP.
To do this, open the Logic Editor in Blender, and click Add Property.
Now name and type your property and set a default value, like so:
Then in code you can easily access these values:
public class MyCube extends GameObject{
public void main(){
if (Bdx.keyboard.keyHit("space")) {
int hp = this.props.get("hitPoints").asInt();
Gdx.app.log("Current HP",String.valueOf(hp));
visible(!visible());
}
}
}
Very cool stuff
BDX is certainly a project to watch if you are working in 3D with LibGDX, especially if you use Blender as part of your workflow. It does over all make for a pretty seamless pipeline and makes world authoring a breeze.

could some one please explain to me in laymen terms why access methods are used. I know how to use methods but, I am confused about why access methods are used. I put an example from my book that uses acess methods. I hope this will help someone explain it to me.

package js
Types, methods and values for interoperability with JavaScript libraries.
This package is only relevant to the Scala.js compiler, and should not be referenced by any project compiled to the JVM.
Guide
General documentation on Scala.js is available at.
Overview
The trait js.Any is the root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types. This package defines important subtypes of js.Any that are defined in the standard library of ECMAScript 5.1 (or ES 6, with a label in the documentation), such as js.Object, js.Array and js.RegExp.
Implicit conversions to and from standard Scala types to their equivalent in JavaScript are provided. For example, from Scala functions to JavaScript functions and back.
The most important subtypes of js.Any declared in this package are:
- js.Object, the superclass of most (all) JavaScript classes
- js.Array
- js.Function (and subtraits with specific number of parameters)
- js.ThisFunction and its subtraits for functions that take the JavaScript
thisas an explicit parameter
- js.Dictionary, a Map-like view of the properties of a JS object
The trait js.Dynamic is a special subtrait of js.Any. It can represent any JavaScript value in a dynamically-typed way. It is possible to call any method and read and write any field of a value of type js.Dynamic.
There are no explicit definitions for JavaScript primitive types, as one could expect, because the corresponding Scala types stand in their stead:
- Boolean is the type of primitive JavaScript booleans
- Double is the type of primitive JavaScript numbers
- String is the type of primitive JavaScript strings (or
null)
- Unit is the type of the JavaScript undefined value
Nullis the type of the JavaScript null value
js.UndefOr gives a scala.Option-like interface where the
JavaScript value
undefined takes the role of
None.
A | B is an unboxed pseudo-union type, suitable to type values that admit several unrelated types in facade types.
- Alphabetic
- By Inheritance
- js
- AnyRef
- Any
- Hide All
- Show All
- Public
- All
Type Members
- trait Any extends AnyRef
Root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types.
Root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types.
Subtypes of js.Any are JavaScript types, which have different semantics and guarantees than Scala types (subtypes of AnyRef and AnyVal). Operations on JavaScript types behave as the corresponding operations in the JavaScript language.
You can implement JavaScript types in Scala.js. The implementation (i.e., the method and constructor bodies) will follow Scala semantics, but the constructor and methods will be called using JavaScript semantics (e.g., runtime dispatch).
A JavaScript type that is annotated with @js.native is a facade type to APIs implemented in JavaScript code. Its implementation is irrelevant and never emitted. As such, all members must be defined with their right-hand-side being js.native. Further, native JavaScript types must be annotated with one of @JSGlobal, @JSImport, @JSGlobalScope to specify where to fetch it from.
In most cases, you should not directly extend this trait, but rather extend js.Object.
It is not possible to define traits or classes that inherit both from this trait and a strict subtype of AnyRef. In fact, you should think of js.Any as a third direct subclass of scala.Any, besides scala.AnyRef and scala.AnyVal.
See the JavaScript interoperability guide of Scala.js for more details.
- Annotations
- @RawJSType()
- class Array[A] extends Object with Iterable[A]
Arrays are list-like objects whose prototype has methods to perform traversal and mutation operations..
MDN
To construct a new array with uninitialized elements, use the constructor of this class. To construct a new array with specified elements, as if you used the array literal syntax in JavaScript, use the Array.apply method instead.
- A
Type of the elements of the array
- final class ArrayOps[A] extends ArrayLike[A, Array[A]] with Builder[A, Array[A]]
Equivalent of
scm.ArrayOpsfor js.Array.
- final class ConstructorTag[T <: Any] extends AnyVal
Stores the JS constructor function of a JS class.
Stores the JS constructor function of a JS class.
A
ConstructorTag[T]holds the constructor function of a JS class, as retrieved by
js.constructorOf[T]. Similarly to ClassTags,
ConstructorTags can be implicitly materialized when
Tis statically known to be a JS class, i.e., a valid type argument to
js.constructorOf.
- class Date extends Object
Creates a JavaScript Date instance that represents a single moment in time.
- sealed trait Dictionary[A] extends Any
Dictionary "view" of a JavaScript value.
Dictionary "view" of a JavaScript value.
Using objects as dictionaries (maps from strings to values) through their properties is a common idiom in JavaScript. This trait lets you treat an object as such a dictionary, with the familiar API of a Map.
To use it, cast your object, say
x, into a Dictionary using
val xDict = x.asInstanceOf[js.Dictionary[Int]]
then use it as
xDict("prop") = 5 println(xDict.get("prop")) // displays Some(5) xDict -= "prop" // removes the property "prop" println(xDict.get("prop")) // displays None
To enumerate all the keys of a dictionary, use collection methods or for comprehensions. For example:
for ((prop, value) <- xDict) { println(prop + " -> " + value) }
Note that this does not enumerate properties in the prototype chain of
xDict.
This trait extends js.Any directly, because it is not safe to call methods of js.Object on it, given that the name of these methods could be used as keys in the dictionary.
- Annotations
- @RawJSType()

Persist logs With SQLite. Easy to query logs.
Project description
DB Logging
Summary
DB Logging is a Python logging utility that creates tag-based log messages in a SQLite database. This is a power mechanism for logging because the logs persist in a very easily queryable log file. Additionally, an HTML generator is included to parse the DB file and create a beautiful rendering of the log entries.
Installation
There are two methods for installing this module:
pip install dblogging
- Clone from Gitlab.
Usage Guide
Follow these steps to get started. Note the tips for extra pointers! See the examples folder for examples of using the logger.
Create The Custom Log Tags
The derived LogTags class MUST include at least these two properties: default and critical. This is
because the logging functions need a default log tag in case the log method was not explicitly given one by the
programmer. The critical tag is only used by
log_exception() and cannot be overridden. While these properties
exist, their values can be overridden.
Each log tag requires three values: a
name, a
value, and an
html_color (not required). The idea is to be able
to filter code by group names or by a threshold of some sort to sift out other noise within the log file.
- The name denotes a group name to which log entries will belong, such as a severity like DEBUG or a layer of code such as API.
- The value is an integer that places a value to the tag such as severity or level within a layer of code.
- The html_color is optional. It is the color used when generating the HTML file with the
HtmlGenerator().
There are two easy ways to create custom log tags.
- Import LogTagTemplate to customize the default and critical log tags.
from dblogging.config import LogTagTemplate, LogTag class LogTags(LogTagTemplate): # default and critical must be defined. default = LogTag( name='Standard', value=0, html_color='cyan' ) critical = LogTag( name='Critical', value=90, html_color='red' ) # custom tags below DAL = LogTag( name='Data Access Layer', value=10, html_color='#0F0' # green )
- Import LogTags to define just the custom tags. The default and critical tags are already defined.
from dblogging.config import LogTags as _LogTags, LogTag class LogTags(_LogTags): # custom tags below DAL = LogTag( name='Data Access Layer', value=10, html_color='#0F0' # green )
Writing Logs
When
Logger() is called it is disabled until
start() is called. This allows the program to explicitly decide when
logging is enabled and how. Prior to begin logging be sure to consider setting these variables:
log_path: This is the absolute path to the SQLite log file with or without the .db extension. The parent folder must exist and the log file must not already exist. If this variable is not set prior to
start()then logs will only be directed to stdout via
print().
log_tags: If not defined prior to
start()then the default
dblogging.config.LogTagsis used. See the section above for more details on customizing the log tags.
date_format: When
print()is called this date format is used to log the entry to stdout. If logging to the database as well then this format will NOT apply. The default value is
%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.
When
start() is called the logger is enabled and, if and only if
log_path is defined, the SQLite database is
initialized with a log_tags and log_entries table. The log_tags table can only be populated once and is
populated on
start() with the log tag information. If the log tags are redefined later in the program it will not
be persisted into the database by the logger and would require the programmer's intervention.
When logging message the logger grabs these few items about the log entry:
- file path: The absolute path to the function, or caller, referenced in the call stack of the log entry.
- function name: The name of the function, or caller, referenced in the call stack of the log entry.
- line number: The line number of the function, or caller, referenced in the call stack of the log entry.
- message: The log message.
- log tag: The log tag the accompanies the log entry. The logger uses this tag to decide if the message should or should not be logged based on the currently defined log rule. See Setting Log Rules below for more details.
- thread information: The thread id and name of the call stack.
Here are all of the logging methods and how they work.
log(): Logs a message with a log tag.
msg: The log message. Required.
log_tag: Default is the
defaulttag.
num_prev_callers: This is the caller within the call stack to reference. The logger dynamically retrieves data about the caller based on this value. Default is 0.
log_exception(): Logs the exception with the
criticallog tag. This cannot be overridden. If
generate()is not used, then be sure to include this in an except clause at the very least.
log_method(): Not really useful to the programmer. Rather than dynamically retrieving data about a caller like
log()does, this explicitly logs data about the caller passed to the method.
func: A callable function.
msg: The log message.
log_tag: The log tag that logs the message. Defaults to the default tag.
returning: If
True, reference the last line of the method, otherwise the first.
generate(): This is the context manager that wraps the execution of the given code block in a
try/except/finallyclause. It accepts a
format_generatorparameter that, if defined, will generate the log file in the given format. If it is not given, then the database file will still persist if a
log_pathis given prior to starting the logger.
format_generator: Either a string or callable generator class. Right now the only acceptable string value is html, which references the built-in HTML log generator. The programmer can design a custom generator that parses the SQLite database entries to output the desired format. The custom generator MUST have an
__init__(self)method that accepts no arguments and a
generate()method that may accept arguments.
kwargs: Supplementary keywords can be passed to the
generate()function.
wrap_func(): A function wrapper that logs the inputs and outputs of the function. The function may not be a generator function or yield anything to the caller.
staticmethodand
classmethodsare supported. This method accepts a list of regular expressions to map to input parameter names whose values should be masked. Output values can only be entirely masked or not at all due to the complexity and time to parse the output to decide what to mask. The inputs and outputs are logged with
jsonpickleand only logs picklable objects to avoid errors with a max depth of 3 (meaning nested iterable objects are only logged up to 3 iterations).
log_tag: The log tag to use to log the input and output messages. If not given, then the
defaulttag is used.
mask_input_regexes: A list of regular expressions that map to input parameter names whose values should be masked.
mask_output: If
True, then the output message is simply "Output is masked." Otherwise, the output is given in the message.
is_static_or_classmethod: Must be
Truewhen using the
staticmethodor
classmethodwrappers.
wrap_class(): Applies the
wrap_func()wrapper to all callable members of a class that do not start with two underscores (__). This method automatically detects
staticmethodand
classmethodattributes. A single regular expression can be given to describe those methods that should NOT be wrapped. Just like
wrap_func(), input parameter values and output values can be masked. However, these are globally applicable values, so every method will apply these values. It is more efficient to define the input masking rules per method because the logger does not attempt to parse the inputs if nothing is defined.
wrap_func()overrides
wrap_class(), so it can be placed on a method that may require a different log tag or must have an input or output masked.
log_tag: The log tag to use to log the input and output messages. If not given, then the
defaulttag is used.
func_regex_exclude: The regular expression describing the functions to not wrap.
mask_input_regexes: A list of regular expressions that map to input parameter names whose values should be masked.
mask_output: If
True, then the output message is simply "Output is masked." Otherwise, the output is given in the message.
Setting Log Rules
When enabled, log rules can be created on the fly to manage which logs are actually committed to the console and/or to
the database. Here are the parameters to
set_rule():
mode: The mode, a string value, is the target for log entries. There are four possible values:
- "console": Only commit log entries that satisfy the rule via
print().
- "persistence": Only commit log entries that satisfy the rule to the database.
- "all": Commit log entries that satisfy the rule both via
print()and to the database.
- "current": Default. Commit log entries that satisfy the rule using the current mode.
log_tag: Used to log
why. If not given the default tag is used.
min_tag_value: The minimum log tag value, inclusive, that must accompany a log entry to be committed.
blacklist_tag_names: A list of log tag names that whose log entries will NOT be committed.
blacklist_function: A
lambdafunction that customizes the wanted behavior. This function MUST accept only one parameter, x, which is the log tag used to commit a log entry.
reset: Resets the rule to the original state, except the mode.
why: The reason why the rule is being set.
If none of
min_tag_value,
blacklist_tag_names,
blacklist_function, or
reset is defined, then all log entries
will be logged via the
mode given. The order of execution of these functions is as follows:
blacklist_function
min_tag_value
blacklist_tag_names
reset
- Allow all log entries. This is the same as
reset, only a different message is logged.
Logs can also be disabled. This option is only available as a context manager, meaning the
with statement is
required. Be cautious when using this option because all logs in the context will be disabled. Upon exit of the
context the logger will switch the disabled rule back to its original state. If
logger.start() was never called,
then it would not be enabled when the context exits. Otherwise the logger would be re-enabled. If an exception was
thrown in the context and the logger was started, then the exception will be re-raised by the logger and logged.
Generating The HTML File
Refer to dblogging/examples/logs/example.html in this repository to view the output files.
This type of log file generation can be very useful for having a nice visual into the logs. While having a database to
query is very nice, having a more friendly output that you can render in your browser is very handy. However, proceed
with caution as very large log files can take a very long time to render. To help with this, the
HtmlGenerator() has
a couple of parameters that can help.
The
HtmlGenerator() accepts these parameters:
log_file: The absolute path to the .db log file. If using the
generate()method, the logger handles this for you.
title: The title of the HTML page.
include_code: If
True, each raw code file referenced by the log entries will be compiled to HTML. To increase performance and save space, the output HTML file makes an
<object>reference to these files so each code file is not a) included directly in the output file and b) not duplicated in the output. To preserve reference integrity, each code file's HTML is named according to the
uuid.uuid3()hash of the absolute path to the file. If
False, raw code is not included with the output.
datetime_range: Must be a
Tupleof length 2 where the first value is the starting datetime and the second is the ending datetime. If either is undesired, then the value must be set explicitly to
None(i.e.
(None, today)for just and end date of today). The values must be
datetimeobjects. This is particularly useful for reducing the size and narrowing the target of the desired logs.
exclude_files: A list of regular expressions that describe the list of code files that should not be compiled and referenced by the output. If
include_code=False, this parameter is moot.

#7588 closed bug (fixed)
GHC HEAD built with LLVM on Mac OS X miscompiles RTS: SIGSEGV in stg_PAP_apply
Description
After fixing #7571 and #7580, with those two patches, I now get a working stage1 compiler that can produce binaries using the LLVM backend. But all of them segfault:
$ cat no-op.hs main = return () $ ~/code/haskell/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1 -fforce-recomp -fllvm no-op.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( no-op.hs, no-op.o ) Linking no-op ... $ ./no-op [1] 12434 segmentation fault ./no-op $
This looks like an error in stg_PAP_apply:
gdb -q ./no-op ⏎ Reading symbols for shared libraries .... done (gdb) r Starting program: /Users/a/t/no-op Reading symbols for shared libraries +++............................. done Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. Reason: 13 at address: 0x0000000000000000 0x00000001002917d4 in stg_PAP_apply () (gdb)
I imagine this is due to some miscompilation of rts/Apply.cmm using LLVM.
I'll rebuild the stage1 compiler with debugging support for sanity, and also enable the debug RTS in the test, and report back soon.
(I imagine this failure is certainly possible *because* of my patches in the other tickets, although my intuition tells me those are strictly correctness fixes and something else is afoot here.)

comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by dterei
Yes, when this occurs it has always been due to a miscompilation of a handwritten cmm file. Apply.cmm or Update.cmm are usual culprits. You could also check that the mangler is still working fine, that may be another issue.

#include <LevelFluxRegisterEdge.H>
A LevelFluxRegisterEdge manages the coarse-fine fixup for a face-centered field which is defined as a curl of an edge-centered field, performing the "reflux-curl" operation described in Balsara(2001) to preserve the divergence-free magnetic field in the presence of coarse-fine interfaces.
This class performs a reflux-curl of edge-centered fluxes to correct a face-centered field. This is in contrast to the regular LevelFluxRegister class, which performs a reflux-divergence of face-centered fluxes to correct a cell-centered field.
Default constructor. Creates an uninitialized LevelFluxRegisterEdge.

increments the register with data from coarseFlux, multiplied by scale. coarseFlux must contain the edge-centered (in 3d, node centered in 2d) coarse fluxes in the dir direction for the grid m_coarseLayout[coarseDataIndex]. By convention, only the low side flux is used to avoid double-counting at coarse-fine interfaces. This operation is local.
increments the register with data from fineFlux (which is edge-centered in 3d, node-centered in 2d), multiplied by scale. a_dir is the normal of the coarse-fine interface, and a_sd determines whether we're looking at the high-side or the low-side for the grid box m_fineLayout[fineDataIndex] This operation is local.
increments uCoarse with the reflux "CURL" of the contents of the flux register. Note that there is no srccomp etc here. this is done for all components so uCoarse has to have the same number of components as input nComp. This operation is global and blocking.

Ok, I'm trying to make it somehow clearer. As a starter this time only
for news reception:
- create a new subdirectory, let's say c:\vsoup
- in this subdirectory create a file newsrc, which contains the
newsgroups you like to read. E.g. (type c:\vsoup\newsrc):
comp.os.os2.announce
alt.test
- create a small batch file (c:\vsoup\getnews.bat) which contains the
following:
c:
cd \vsoup
vsoup -m -t8 -C50 -h . nntp://your.news.server
import -u
Of course vsoup and import must be found in the PATH
- for convinience: create a link for that small batch file
- establish connection to your ISP
- start the small batch file from above which now should start
fetching news from your news server. After that data will be
imported to Yarn
- hangup connection to your ISP
- the c:\vsoup\newsrc now shows something like:
comp.os.os2.announce: 1-7396
alt.test: 1-32411
- more sophisticated versions of the batch could contain automatic
dialin/hangup, _sequential_ reception&transmission of mail&news.
Another feature could be scoring of news articles (to avoid
transmission of unwanted articles)
- much more sophisticated versions of the batch could include the
above and _parallel_ reception&transmission of mail&news (also for
more than one server for each task)
For further reading refer to my homepage which contains not even a
complete (more or less) description of the command line switches, but
also a FAQ which should guide you through the process of refining your
batch.

I need to get warning message like 'Past date not allowed. Date selected is 04-09-2015(It should display the selected date also). How can we do this.
Python:
def onchange_start_date_past(self, cr, uid, ids, start_date, eofdate, year2, context=None):
res = {'value':{}}
chng_year = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
today = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
current_date = datetime.strptime(today, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
if chng_year.year and year2:
if str(chng_year.year) != str(year2):
#res['value']['date_start'] = ''
res.update({'warning': {'title': _('Warning !'), 'message': _('Please enter correct Year.')}})
return res
d = self.months_between1(chng_year, current_date)
if d < 0:
#res['value']['date_start'] = ''
res.update({'warning': {'title': _('Warning !'), 'message': _('Past date not allowed.')}})
return res
return start_date
else:
return False
XML:
<field name='date_start' on_change="onchange_start_date_past(date_start, date_end, parent

function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection.tracks.hasOwnProperty()){ return collection; }else if (collection.tracks.hasOwnProperty === false){ collection.tracks.push }
collectionhave a
tracksproperty, ever? What kind of properties does
collectionhave - the "first level" of properties. For that matter, what kind of structure is
collection?
collection, and an
id, what would you do with that to try and find a
tracksproperty? Your answer is close, but you have to make sure that you understand when you can use dot notation vs. bracket notation to access an object.

function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection["1245"].tracks.hasOwnProperty()){ return collection; }else { collection['1245'].tracks.push("Don't know") }
idvalues, and those values will be the numbers, so you should be able to use that variable in your data access.
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection["1245"].tracks.hasOwnProperty(prop)){ return collection; }else { collection['1245'].tracks.push("Don't know"); }
id- there is no way to make it work otherwise! Check the test cases that will be run to validate your solution.
idbecause when you call the function, as they have one sample call at the bottom of the edit window, that value will be avaiable in the
idvariable and you'll be using it in the way that will be a general-purpose solution. But, for the sake of argument, you are using one of the values. So let's move on to the next thing. If you have this construct:
collection["1245"]- what does that allow you to access within the data?
@moT01 - well, it's better than counting into the negative values, I've seen that. So the next question is that I didn't hear any sound when it changed from the session to the break? I think that is one of the requirements, they mention it in the user stories, I think?
One other thing, and if you have it working, it's fine - it's easier to keep your time value in seconds only, and not have to make calculations against seconds and minutes.
But it looks good overall!
collection["1245"], how would you determine whether or not it has a
tracksproperty?
collection["1245"].tracks.hasOwnProperty(prop)- what is that going to tell you? Is it correct? (I would say that
tracksmight be there, it might not be there, and if it is there, it needs to be an array, as many of the records are initialized with an array.) But does an array have properties?
// Setup var collection = { "2548": { "album": "Slippery When Wet", "artist": "Bon Jovi", "tracks": [ "Let It Rock", "You Give Love a Bad Name" ] }, "2468": { "album": "1999", "artist": "Prince", "tracks": [ "1999", "Little Red Corvette" ] }, "1245": { "artist": "Robert Palmer", "tracks": [ ] }, "5439": { "album": "ABBA Gold" } }; // Keep a copy of the collection for tests var collectionCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(collection)); // Only change code below this line function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection[1245].tracks.hasOwnProperty(value)){ return collection; }else { collection[1245].tracks.push("Addicted to Love"); } if(collection[5439].hasOwnProperty(prop)) { return collection; }else if(collection[5439]) }
id
object.newProperty = "something";for example. If you want to add something to an array, as with this problem, you have to use
.push(), which you know. But again, in the general case, you have to make sure that there is an array there in order to push. So you cannot just do
object.someOtherProperty.push("something");if there isn't a
someOtherPropertythat doesn't contain an array. For the general case, you want to make sure that there is or isn't a property for the "tracks" case so you can properly create it if necessary, and
.push()to it if it exists.
mot01 sends brownie points to @khaduch :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
idwill contain that value, and you can use it as
collection[id], and your code has to be written to just handle the other cases - for example, if
value === ''is one of the things that they mention - the specific record that you have the ID for is the one that will be tested. It will work!
@johnnunns when you call...
updateRecords(5439, "tracks", "");
those values get plugged into your variable...
updateRecords(id, prop, value);
so using collection[id], in this case, will give you access to the collection with the id of 5439
maybe you already got that part, trying to bring more clarity
@johnnunns - one example of one of these tests - the first one:
updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA");
Your function will be called - the function arguments will be:
The test says that after the function runs:
artistshould be
"ABBA"
So the testing code is going to read the
collection object that is returned. Before your function runs, that record doesn't have an
artist field. But you will add it, and since it is not a
tracks property, no need to worry about array-type structures, you can just set that property using the variables and bracket notation -
collection[id][prop] = value; That's a hint...
It is equivalent to having the code
collection["5439"].artist = "ABBA"; but it is reusable because it is parameterized with the function arguments that will assume the values for the current function invocation.{query.value}&format=json&origin=*
if (collection[id].hasOwnProperty('someproperty');
.hasOwnProperty(), I think that's what you meant? And the point is that you want to be able to work on multiple records. The thing is, that the function is only called with one value at a time - so for each invocation of the function, you'll probably be using different values, but ONLY ONE AT A TIME! That's the beauty of it! You can, of course, have something that would take action on all of the records in the collection, say, if you wanted to add another field - but you'd have to be getting multiple pieces of data in an array or something - so calm yourself. :) It will work, I promise!
```
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
if(collection[id].tracks.hasOwnProperty(value)){
return collection;
}else {
collection[id].tracks.push("Addicted to Love");
}
if(collection[id].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return collection;
}else {
collection[id].push("tracks","artists");
}
}
``` @khaduch @moT01
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection[id].tracks.hasOwnProperty(value)){ return collection; }else { collection[id].tracks.push("Addicted to Love"); } if(collection[id].hasOwnProperty(prop)) { return collection; }else { collection[id].push("tracks","artists"); } }
replaced the specific song with 'value'replaced the specific song with 'value'
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) { if(collection[id].tracks.hasOwnProperty(value)){ return collection; }else { collection[id].tracks.push(value); } if(collection[id].hasOwnProperty(prop)) { return collection; }else { collection[id].push("tracks","artists"); }
@johnnunns - there are a few problems here.
value === ''or
value !== ''somewhere in your code to be able to handle that situation, as described in the problem description
collection[id].tracks.hasOwnProperty(value)- this is not correct.
tracksdoes not contain an object as its value, so it cannot be used with
.hasOwnProperty()in the way you have it coded. (You would most likely get an error in the console if you looked at it when this code was attempted to be run.)
collection[id].tracks.push("Addicted to Love");would work - if
prop === "tracks"(you were supposed to be operating on the "tracks" property) and if
value === "Addicted to Love"- In other words, you have hard-coded something that should be using the function arguments.
if(collection[id].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {- this test is not useful here. The function should always
return collection;after it updates the record.
collection[id].push("tracks","artists");- this is also not useful here - there is no condition here where you should be pushing the words "tracks" and "artists" into an object (which probably will fail anyway, since it
collection[id]is not an array...
You have some of the concepts going in the right direction, but things are quite jumbled and confused, but let's try another approach. Look at the conditions that they want you to check - one of the biggies is
value === "" or
value !== "". If the value is blank, you are just supposed to delete the property that is given in the variable
prop, at the ID that is given in the variable
id. You have to use the
delete function. You can write this code like this:
if ( value === '' ) { delete collection[id][prop]; // because the value is blank, just delete this } else { // the value is not blank - there are other things to consider, most specifically, if `prop === "tracks"` if (prop === "tracks" ) { // do the things here to properly handle the "tracks" property } else { // the prop variable is not "tracks", just add the prop and value to the given record. } } return collection; // this is always done at the end of the function
that is what you should have as a basic idea for your function - you need to fill in the details. Look at the description of the problem, with this framework in mind, and see if you can get some of the tests to pass.

Hi guys, i dont know what the problem is here, my s function stream keeps returning undefined when the returned value is defined..
my Code:
$(document).ready(function() { var channels = ["ESL_SC2", "OgamingSC2", "cretetion", "freecodecamp", "storbeck", "habathcx", "RobotCaleb", "noobs2ninjas"]; function stream(channel) { var streamResult; var stream_link = "" + channel; $.getJSON(stream_link, function(result) { streamResult = result.stream; }); return streamResult; }//end function stream alert(stream("ESL_SC2")); function channelInfo(stream, channel) { //var status = stream(channel); if(status === null) { var channel_status = "offline"; }else { var channel_status = "online"; }//end else var link = "" + channel; $.ajax({ url: link, dataType: "jsonp", success: function(json) { $(".table").append("<tr><td><img src = '" + json.logo + "' width = '320'></td>"); $(".table").append("<td>" + json.display_name + "</td>"); $(".table").append("<td>" + channel_status + "</td></tr>"); }//end success });//end $.ajax }//end channelInfo for(i = 0; i < channels.length; i++) { channelInfo(stream, channels[i]); }//end for });///end document
codepen:
any help please
$.getJSONis an asynhronous call. That means, that the callback function given to it resolves late, and the code doesn't wait for it with running. so
streamResultis not YET set when you return.
When you want to encapsulate that stuff in a function still, you can use something like:
function stream(channel, cb) { var streamResult; var stream_link = "" + channel; $.getJSON(stream_link, function(result) { cb(result.stream); }); }
And use it as:
stream("ESL_SC2", function(stream) { // here you have the stream });
section { height: 100vh; width: 100%; }

@emamador With this code:

You are still calling a function that uses setTimeout(), so the for loop continues to completion before the setTimeout is finished.

libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The sprintf() function is similar to fprintf(), except that sprintf() places the generated output into the character array pointed to by buf, instead of writing it to a file. A null character is placed at the end of the generated character string.
The number of characters written into the array, not counting the terminating null character. An error can occur while converting a value for output. When an error occurs, errno indicates the type of error detected.

This is a tutorial on Bootstrap Sampling in Python. In this tutorial, we will learn what is bootstrapping and then see how to implement it.
Let’s get started.
Table of Contents
What is Bootstrap Sampling?
The definition for bootstrap sampling is as follows :
In statistics, Bootstrap Sampling is a method that involves drawing of sample data repeatedly with replacement from a data source to estimate a population parameter.
This basically means that bootstrap sampling is a technique using which you can estimate parameters like mean for an entire population without explicitly considering each and every data point in the population.
Instead of looking at the entire population, we look at multiple subsets all of the same size taken from the population.
For example, if your population size is 1000. Then to find the mean, instead of considering all the 1000 entries you can take 50 samples of size 4 each and calculate the mean for each sample. This way you will be taking an average of 200 entries (50X4) chosen randomly.
A similar strategy is used by market researchers to carry out research in a huge population.
How to implement Bootstrap Sampling in Python?
Now let’s look at how to implement bootstrap sampling in python.
We will generate some random data with a predetermined mean. To do that we are going to use the NumPy module in Python.
Let’s start by importing the necessary modules.
1. Import the necessary modules.
The modules we need are :
- Numpy
- Random
To import these modules, use :
import numpy as np import random
In the next step, we need to generate some random data. Let’s do that using the Numpy module.
2. Generate Random Data
Let’s generate a normal distribution with a mean of 300 and with 1000 entries.
The code for that is given below:
x = np.random.normal(loc= 300.0, size=1000)
We can calculate the mean of this data using :
print (np.mean(x))
Output :
300.01293472373254
Note that this is the actual mean of the population.
3. Use Bootstrap Sampling to estimate the mean
Let’s create 50 samples of size 4 each to estimate the mean.
The code for doing that is :
sample_mean = [] for i in range(50): y = random.sample(x.tolist(), 4) avg = np.mean(y) sample_mean.append(avg)
The list sample_mean will contain the mean for all the 50 samples. For estimating the mean of the population we need to calculate the mean for sample_mean.
You can do that using :
print(np.mean(sample_mean))
Output :
300.07261467146867
Now if we run the code in this section again then we will get a different output. This is because each time we run the code, we will generate new samples. However, each time the output will be close to the actual mean (300).
On running the code in this section again, we get the following output :
299.99137705245636
Running it again, we get:
300.13411004148315
Complete code to Implement Bootstrap Sampling in Python
Here’s the complete code for this tutorial :
import numpy as np import random x = np.random.normal(loc= 300.0, size=1000) print(np.mean(x)) sample_mean = [] for i in range(50): y = random.sample(x.tolist(), 4) avg = np.mean(y) sample_mean.append(avg) print(np.mean(sample_mean))
Conclusion
This tutorial was about Bootstrap Sampling in Python. We learned how to estimate the mean of a population by creating smaller samples. This is very useful in the world of Machine Learning to avoid overfitting. Hope you had fun learning with us! | https://www.journaldev.com/45580/bootstrap-sampling-in-python | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | refinedweb | 593 | 67.35 |

Ability to implicitly preappend current_app to reverse URL resolution.
Description
I want to be able to implicitly preappend the current_app as a namespace to some URL reverse-resolutions.
My suggestion would be that names starting with a colon ':' (e.g. empty string as first level namespace) implies current_app if present.
A very simple 2-line solution can be found on my github page
The question is if this breaches any philosophies of Django. There's no reason for me to create an elaborate patch including additional tests for this, if it's going to be cut down for political/design reasons. Therefore I am not ticking "has patch" just yet.
The possible use-cases for this is template reuse and making applications modular by simply splitting them up. (my use case covers both)

Design decisions are usually made on the django-developers mailling list. I would post this idea there to get feedback. | https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22737 | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | refinedweb | 213 | 61.16 |

Santa Claus came to town
Saturday.
Red-and-gold decorated
Christmas trees, glittering
packages and a white fire-
place adorned the center of
the Lake City" Mall as more
than a handful of children
lined up at 11 a.m. to have
their picture taken on Santa's
lap.
Lake City resident
Armando Garcia said his chil-
dren were thrilled to meet
Santa in person for the first
time.
"They spent all week
talking about it," Garcia said.
The Garcia children -
Arizayt, 8, and Jesus, 4 - col-
ored pictures for a Christmas

waited to talk to Santa.
"I really wanted to come

Seven-year-old Jessie
Powell visited Santa at the
mall for the second year in a
row.
"I told him I wanted a guitar
and a clubhouse," Jessie said.
Santa said children asked
for the "standard" Christmas
gifts this year.
"I've gotten a lot of

dolls," he said.
Shirley Davis said she

Tropical Storm lingers off Central America
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This satellite photo provided by NOAA on Saturday shows Tropical Storm Gamma off the coast of
Central America. Gamma - the 24th storm of the busiest hurricane season on record - formed
Friday off the coast of Central America, and forecasters said it could threaten Florida.
By CURT ANDERSON
Associated Press
MIAMI - Tropical Storm
Gamma lingered Saturday off
the coast of Central America,
with forecasts indicating it
could threaten storm-weary
Florida by the beginning of
next week - possibly even as
a hurricane.
'There is certainly a poten-
tial dis-
sipate before crossing the
Gulf of Mexico toward the
east.
Tropical storm warnings
were issued fore-
cast for parts of Honduras,
with 12 inches possible in
some spots.
The long-term track from
the National Hurricane
Center indicated that Gamma
may take a track similar to
Wilma's and head northeast
toward the Florida Peninsula.
Wilma tore across the south-
ern portion of the state from
west to east on Oct. 24, caus-
ing widespread damage,
21 deaths and power outages.
The initial forecast called
for Gamma to remain a tropi-
cal storm as it approached
Florida, with the possibility it
may become a Category 1
hurricane with winds of at
least 74 mph. Forecasters also
said some computer models
indicated Gamma could dissi-
pate because of wind shear in
the upper atmosphere.
"Right now, the forecast is
highly uncertain," Knabb
said.
By 7 a.m. EST Saturday,
Gamma's maximum sustained
winds were near 45 mph and
it was located about 130 miles
east-southeast of Belize City,
Belize, and 230 miles south-
southeast of Tulum, Mexico.
It was :moving north-
northwest at about 6 mph.
Gamma is the 24th named
storm of the busiest Atlantic
hurricane season on record.
There have been 13 hurri-
canes this year, another
record.
Florida has been pummeled
by eight hurricanes and three
tropical storms in the past
15 months, according to state
officials. Insured losses from

MacDill Air Force Base
cancels spring airshow
Associated Press
TAMPA - The command-
er of MacDill Air Force Base
has canceled next spring's air
show, citing security concerns
and busy operations.
Air Force Col. Maggie
Woodward said in a statement
Friday that no specific threat
prompted the move. She said
it would simply require too
much energy and resources to
properly protect the nearly
6,000-acre facility.
"As the leadership of the
base weighed the pros and
cons of having the airshow,
our security situation and the
incredible tempo our folks
have been maintaining for
over'a year led us to decide
that it was too much to ask of
the troops to have an airshow
in 2006," Woodward said.
Air Fest, which alternately
is headlined by the Air Force's
Thunderbirds and the Navy's
Blue Angels, drew 350,000
people in 2005 and half a
million visitors in 2004.

Council to consider
four items Monday
By LINDA YOUNG
lyoung@lakecityreporter.com
Lake City Council will
have its Monday meeting at
6:30 p.m., instead of 7:30
p.m., and will consider
making the change in meet-
ing time permanent.
The council will hear the
final read of an ordinance to
approve an amendment to
the final budget for fiscal
year 2005.
Also on the agenda is a
first read of an ordinance to
amend the pension and
retirement plan for general
employees of Lake City.
Under the proposed plan,
eligible city employees have
a choice of remaining in the
city retirement plan or par-
ticipating in the Florida
retirement system.
The council will also
consider four resolutions:
* A $10,000 grant from
the State of Florida,
Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) for technical
assistance funding to help
the city comply with new
planning requirements. The
requirements are to comply
with Senate Bill No. 360, an
amendment to Florida's
Growth Management Act.
* To enter into an
agreement with the Florida
Department of
Transportation (FDOT) to
construct, maintain and
operate a Global Positioning
System (GPS) Reference
Station at the Lake City
Municipal Airport.
* To request FDOT to
place signs in areas that are
either on or adjacent to
right-of-way maintained by
FDOT. This is in downtown
Lake City for the placement
of new signs in conjunction
with the new parking
regulations.
* To authorize the city to
hire Tetra Tech Hai to pro-
vide engineering services.
This is in connection with
construction of 6,000 feet of
36-inch ductile iron-finished
water main to be installed
between the Water
Treatment Plant and State
Road 100.
City Council will also have
a workshop at 5:30 p.m.
before the council meeting.
Items that council members
will discuss include changes
to awarding bids.
The changes to bids that
council is considering are
broken down into categories
that include bids of more
than $20,000, bids of less
than $1,000 and bids
between $1,000 and $8,000.

Florida man admits selling false credits to teachers
Associated Press
MIAMI- A former high
school teacher accused ,of
operating a company that
offered teacher certifications
without proper training,
including some through an
Ohio college, has agreed to
serve two years in prison as
part of a plea agreement with
prosecutors. ' :
William McCoggle, 73,
pleaded guilty to a fraud
charge in Miami-Dade County
Circuit Court. He will also pay
up to $100,000 in restitution.
In court Friday, he
apologized and promised to
cooperate with investigators.
Prosecutors have said
McCoggle collected more

to teachers, many in the

them to bump up' their

The program offered certifi-

provided the course credits.
The program split tuition
money with the colleges.
Otterbein officials said the
school will donate the $89,000
it received to a Florida charity.
Otterbein officials have said
Dan Thompson, a former asso-
ciate dean for academic affairs
who administered the
program at Otterbein, did not
follow guidelines in regulating
the school's involvement and
did not seek proper approval
for the program. Thompson
died of a heart attack in
March.
The college was first linked
with the now disbanded

Thompson renewed the
program in 1999, and the
college continued issuing,

Now, with the new prescription plan
about to launch, the Medicare patient
crowd is conscious that maybe they
should have been careful about asking
for help.
The program could be a quagmire; it
could be beneficial.
Like it or not, ready or not, it
launches in January. Between now and
then, there will be much discussion
between pharmacists who are
scrambling through seminars and
literature to make sure they understand
the new program, while at the same
time Medicare patients are scrambling
to obtain information and
understanding about what the
long-awaited prescription-drug program
will provide.
Everyone speaks positively of now
having a prescription-drug-assistance
card; the same people also express
concerns that any new federal program
will have numerous flaws that must be
worked out.
Sadly, there will be people who fall
through the cracks, but many others
will get financial assistance with their
prescriptions and this is a positive factor
that will improve the quality of life for
many.

n 1913, Columbia
County's prospective
teachers had to take and
pass a state test to receive
a teacher's license. The
10-part test was given over five
days, two parts each day. Each
part was worth 100 points and
to receive a "First Grade
License" (the license that enti-
tiled you to teach any grade),
you had to average 85 percent
on the whole test and score at
least 60 percent in every area.
You studied for the test by
buying the textbooks on which
each, part was based.
Agriculture, for example, used
John Frederick Duggar's
"Agriculture for Southern
Schools" (75 cents a copy);
algebra used Milne's "High
School Algebra" ($1 a copy).
The subjects tested were
orthography (the study of
correct spelling) and reading,
English grammar, arithmetic,
composition, geography,
history, agriculture, teaching
theory and practice, civil
government and algebra.
The test was serious
business. "Every examinee
must supply himself with
cap-paper, must write in a
legible hand with pen and ink,
must work in full view of other
examinees, must number or
letter answers to agree with
questions, and must fasten all
sheets together on the same
subject," the instructions said.
Think these were easy tests?
Here are some sample
questions:
* Agriculture. Why do
budding and grafting bring
fruit truer to the parent stock
than a tree grown from the
seed will bring? (10 Points).
Also, name five rules for
selecting good seed corn.
(10 points).
* Algebra. Factor the
following: 2ax + 2ay-
2az+2bx+2by-2bz. (4 points).
Also, from two places, distance
720 miles, "A" and "B" set out

Dear Editor:
I recently visited Bay St.

Hurricane Katrina relief
worker. I attached myself to a
family who had suffered a
great loss to the hurricane.
Their once beautiful home
and possessions were ruined
and buried in heavy, stinking
wet mud. Jeff and Tammy
Brownsberger had built a fine
two-story home over an old
single-story fish camp.
He is a builder by trade and
with his own design, utilizing
heavy timbers and massive
concrete footers, the house
and large garage withstood
the explosive tidal surge
which flooded the home with
18-feet of muddy salt water.
Even the vinyl siding was

almost perfectly intact. They
invested everything in their
effort. It was almost perfectly
intact, but they had no money
left to purchase insurance.

Their home was one of only

appeared to be salvageable.
I had brought my front-end
loader tractor and volunteered
throughout the neighborhood.
There were a few other

us. H. Quinn from Minnesota
suffered a rupture and Jimmy
Cado from Waveland had a
heart attack from the heat and
exertion.
The heat and disorder,
combined with inedible Red
Cross food and lack of sleep,
sometimes caused angry, ugly
conflicts with the Army and
police who we begged for help.
So after a week in the mud

Clearly the teachers of 1913
had to be well versed in many
content areas before they could
stand in front of a classroom.
Some local teachers who did

he met his wife and they were

Virginia, and served in the
Florida House and Senate. He
helped pass bills that created
Florida's junior college system,
the UF veterinary school, and
the Ichetucknee State Park. He
served as president of the Lake

there were four children

I told Charlie that I feared
one of these children was

Calif., with 21
writers and six
Linda Seebach
winners who rockymountainnews.com
passed the
50,000-word
finish line - but I hadn't heard about it,
probably because I don't aspire to write fiction.
Chris Baty, in his history of NaNo, says they
hadn't expected it to be so much fun. "Fun was
a revelation," he says. "Novel-writing, we had
discovered, was just like watching TV. You get
a bunch of friends together, load up on
caffeine and junk food, and stare at a glowing
screen for a couple hours. And a story spins
itself out in front of you."
More than that, "We had taken the
cloistered, agoniized novel-writing process and
transformed it into something that was half
literary marathon and half block party."
Marathon, indeed. Last year, 42,000 people
signed up for NaNo, and nearly 6,000 of them
finished their books.
The first marathon, the news carried by
Pheidippides of the Greek victory over the
Persians at the battle of the same name,
passed into legend. Well, actually the myth
was probably cobbled together several
centuries later from a few randomly assorted
facts, but never mind; we have remembered it
for nearly 2,500 years, even if we have
remembered it wrong.
Now, running marathons is recreation for
the masses, so much so that thousands of
people compete for spaces in some of the
largest and most celebrated races.
Pheidippides, if he ever existed, would be
amazed.
A few people have actually sold their NaNo
novels to real publishers, just as somebody
actually wins the Boston Marathon. But for
most runners it is finishing the marathon that
changes their lives. NaNo writers "started the
month as auto mechanics, out-of-work actors,
and middle school English teachers. They
walked away novelists," NaNo says.
I heard about NaNo from my daughter-in-
law, Jesse. He (Jesse is transgendered and
prefers masculine'pronouns, just so you know
there's no need to write and tell me that I'm
getting them wrong) started a novel called
"Summerlands" in October. So it doesn't
qualify for NaNo, but as a gesture of solidarity
he's keeping track of words in November,
almost 15,000 in three posts (index post, for all
12 parts as of Friday, is
www. livejournal. com/users/gomichan/185409.
html).
If you wonder whether anything written so
fast can be readable, oh, yes indeed. I love
"Summerlands," even though it's not one of
my usual genres and I looked at the first
couple of episodes only out of curiosity.
Quantity over quality, as a deliberate tactic,
lets writers try things they wouldn't otherwise
risk.
"If I were trying to do it /well/," Jesse wrote
me in an e-mail, "I'd absolutely freeze up and
never get anywhere."
Summerlands is an alternative world,
relationship to Earth left unexplained, where
humans are a subordinate species, mostly
enslaved and scarcely better than livestock.
Truebloods, the dominant race, who cannot.
tolerate iron in any form, call them Children of
Iron.
Readers enjoy exchanging comments with
the author as his novel happens, and this
social aspect is a big part of NaNo's success,
too. It has local in-person meetings, participant
forums, radio broadcasts, projects to build
children's libraries in Laos and a host of other
community-building events.
Oh, and as of Friday morning 382,447,591
total collective words written and filed. Now
there's mass media for you.

Saturday to raise money for
Hurricane Katrina victims as
part of the third-annual
Christmas Open House.
About 50 people stopped in
throughout the day to peruse
the books, jewelry, candles
and crafts for sale. One hun-
dred percent of the proceeds
will be donated to the Red
Cross.
Home interiors decorator
Stephanie Lane, who has been
planning the event since June,
said she wanted to raise the
money for hurricane survivors
because she was moved by
their stories.
"It made me want to cry,
just watching the news and
seeing every new thing that
happened," Lane said.

Leilanie Merrill said most
Floridians can relate to the
tragedy.
"We understand because
we've been hit so many times."
she said. "I fully believe in
karma. You give and you
always get back."
The volunteers also sold raf-
fle tickets for baskets filled
with small photo albums,
Christmas mugs, lotions and
other gifts to benefit the cause.
Lauri Thomas, of Premier
Design Store, sold jewelry at
the event for the first time.
She said people liked her
festive "holiday" jewelry.
"Anything sparkly, anything
glitzy," she said.
Branford resident Heather
Poltrock looked at the jewelry
for sale Saturday afternoon
and stopped to check out
some Tupperware. She said
she read about the open house
in the newspaper and came to
show her support for
Hurricane Katrina survivors.
Poltrock said the fundraiser
was "very upperclass."
"I feel like I'm in the South,"
she said.
Tabatha McMahon, inde-
pendent consultant of Close to
My Heart, sold scrapbooking
and quilting books and
supplies at the event.
"It's a national addiction of
most women," McMahon said

McMahon said she is new
to Lake City and the fundrais-
er gave her the opportunity to
boost business and meet
several locals.

said. "We've had quite a few

Along with decorations, the
public works crew erected a
house for Santa Claus. Santa
will arrive at dusk that day.
DAC chairman Skipper,
Hair said he thought people
would be pleasantly surprised
by what downtown Lake City
has to offer if they came down,
especially during the Festival
of Lights. The booths and ven-
dors are similar to those at the
Olustee celebration, Hair said.
'"This is a way for us to
provide a unique purchasing
opportunity for residents and
also support businesses," Hair
said. "Please take the opportu-
nity to come downtown and
support our local businesses,
because that reverberates
through our economy.
"It's (Festival of Lights)
almost like an introduction to
a lot of activities to come in
our downtown through the
holiday season."
The next event is the
"Miracle on Marion" on
Dec. 3, a combination of din-
ner and an auction of decorat-
ed Christmas trees at
Tucker's restaurant. The pro-
ceeds go to the March of
Dimes.

Government set to launch new
By TROY ROBERTS
troberts@lakecityreporter.com
The U.S. government is
launching a new Medicare pro-
gram on Jan. 1, 2006, leaving
many senior citizens wonder-
ing about the many different
options available for them.
The sign-up period, which
began Nov. 15 and runs
through May 15, allows sen-
iors to sign up for a new pre-
scription drug plan through
Medicare Part D.
However, more than 50 pro-
grams are offered nationwide,
and 44 of them are offered in
Florida through 18 organiza-
tions including Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Florida, CIGNA
Healthcare, Prescription
Pathway and United
Healthcare.
"On average, many of the
plans are fairly similar," said
Carl Allison, owner of Baya
Pharmacy. "For instance, some
plans will push mail order,
while another will have no
co-pay for generics."
There are multiple options
that a person on Medicare has
for looking at the variables,
benefits and drawbacks that
each plan has to offer.
"The program is good that it
helps people pay for medica-
tion that they sometimes can't
afford, but it was put together
in a fashion that isn't easy to
understand," said Joel
Rosenfeld, owner of North
Florida Pharmacy.
According to a report from
the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), the
monthly premium for 2006 will
average at about $32 a month.
Some plans begin as low as
$10.35, while others cost as
much as $104.89 a month
depending on the deductible,
which will be no more than
$250 in 2006.
On average, a person with
"... Some plans
will push for mail
order, while
another will have
no co-pay for
generics."
- Carl Allison,
Baya Pharmacy owner.
Medicare and no drug cover-
age will see their total drug
spending costs decrease by
50 percent and they will save
$1,100 per year on average,
according to CMS.
"We're seeing people now
spending $1,000 to $2,000 aver-
age per month on prescription
drugs," Allison said. "The new
plan will end up paying
between 50 and 75 percent of
drug costs."

However, Allison says the
online portion of the plan can
be confusing.
"It isn't difficult for me or
younger people to go online
and find information about the
most viable plan," Allison said.
"However, the majority of the
people on Medicare don't
frequent the Internet."
Allison confirms the hotline
can be helpful to people want-
ing to find information about
the plan for them, but they
should be prepared to wait
because the customer service
representatives are over-
whelmed by the number of
calls they receive.
Allison, who is allowing peo-
ple to come in and discuss
which plan is right for them,
explained that it is best to sign
up for a plan that covers a wide
variety of drugs, with his rec-
ommendation being the
Community Care RX program
from MEMBERHEALTH.
"This program allows you to
go to any pharmacy and covers
95 percent of the top drugs,"
Allison said. "It also has low
premiums and no co-pay on
generic drugs."
Rosenfeld suggests there is
no plan that can be recom-
mended for everyone, because
not everyone takes the same
medicine and dosage.
"Some plans help the phar-
macists rather than the people
that need the medication,"
Rosenfeld said. "We're trying
to direct people to the
cheapest plan for them,
instead of what will provide the
most money for a pharmacy."
Rosenfeld also said that
while a doctor may prescribe a
drug not in a particular drug
coverage, there are multiple
generics and drugs out there
that normally will be under
that coverage.
Rosenfeld said when people
ask which plan is right for
them, he gives them the top
three cheapest plans available
to them.
"I don't want to tell a person
what plan they should use,"
Rosenfeld said. "I would rather
us give them the information,
let them call the toll free
number, and then decide
which plan is best for them.
We want to do the legwork for
them, but we want them to
decide."
Although Allison said he
would prefer one universal
plan, he believes there is
potential for the new system to
succeed.
'There is potential to see the,
whole system succeed
because people will be treated
properly for their exact med-
ical condition, rather than, like
now, people not taking or buy-
ing their medicine because
they are unable to afford it,"
Allison said.

By MARIO SARMENTO
msarmento@lakecityreporter. corn
The Columbia High girls basketball
team won its third straight game on
Saturday night, rolling past Hamilton
County High 64-24.
The Lady Tigers led 8-0 before
Hamilton scored its first points at the
2:36 mark of the first quarter. After
only leading 9-3 at the end of the first,
Columbia went on a 24-7 tear in the
second quarter to put the game out of
reach.
Sophomore guard Tasheona Harris
led the second-quarter blitz with eight
points, and she finished with 12 points
on 5-8 shooting from the field.
"We've talked so much about being
more team-oriented within our sys-
tem," CHS coach C.C. Wilson said.
"She's done her part on it.
Now everyone's getting _
more points and more r.:
assists. Just maturation for f1
us. She's a 10th-grader and "
growing up in a hurry."
Clara Jernigan scored 12
points, Shatouria McClellan
scored nine, Racheal Jones
and Victoria Wilkes each scored eight,
Kaylyn Varnum added seven, Shannon
Alford scored six, and Benitra Givens
scored two.
Columbia's defense was suffocating,
as the Lady Trojans hit only one of
18 shots in the first half, and Hamilton
finished just 6-43 for the game. ,
The Lady Tigers were an efficient
27-56 (48 percent) from the floor on
the night.
U',
'We were nervous coming
out, but we played pretty
good," Harris said.
"Especially in the second
half."
Columbia's next game is at
home at 7 p.m. on Tuesday
night against state runner-up
and district rival Eastside
High, which is also 3-0 this season.
Columbia wrestling
The Columbia High wrestling team
placed second at the Wildcat Duels
meet at Ocala Forest High on
Saturday. Gainesville High defeated
the Tigers in the last match of the day
to take the title.
"We performed well," Tigers coach
Al Nelson said. "We didn't finish the
job, but we came out and competed."
Bryan Huggins finished 5-0 in the
160-pound weight class.
Michael Burrus was 4-1 in the 103-
pound class, Chris Dahlbeck was 4-1
in the 125s, Matt Bohannon was 4-1 in

Memorial Bowl winds down
Youth football
season will finish
Wednesday.
By MARIO SARMENTO
msarmento@lakecityreporter.com
At the Memorial Bowl, it's
all about the football.
The pageantry and celebra-
tion of the season-opening
Jamboree, which included a
cook-out and a carnival, is
replaced at the end of the sea-
son by the simple spectacleof
the game - pairans. frik nds-
and relatives cheering on the
players.
Even those who don't have
a physical link to the kids on
the field enjoy the action.
On Saturday, Neal Alford -
whose son Neal coaches the
Lake City Wolves team that
was eliminated earlier in the
tournament - was on hand to
watch the semifinal games
being played, at Memorial
Stadium.
"I think it's been great," he
said of the event. "All the kids
look like they've been having
fun. Real great ball games."
And that's the essence of
the Memorial Bowl - the
game of football itself.
Alford comes to the
Memorial Bowl every year,
and he plans on attending the
final games on Wednesday -
"If I can get off work and get
here," he said.
Twila Robinson made the
trip from Williston to watch
her son Detereon Williams
quarterback the Red Devils in
their semifinal Midget League
game against the Quincy
Eagles.
Williston lost 52-8, but
Robinson said, "It's been a lot
of fun. They had a pretty good
year. It was exciting for them

to come up here to be a part of
the Memorial Bowl."
Cristyl Williams and Shirley
Holt are parents of three of
the Quincy players who will
compete for the
championship on Wednesday.
"It's been pretty nice,"
Williams said. "They (the
kids) like it because they've
been winning."
Holt has been here before,
having watched her son win
the championship two years
ago.
In each of the last three
weeks she has made the
140-mile drive from Quincy to
Lake City.
"I have loved it, I have
really enjoyed it," she said.
"I just like to support the
team and see them make a
touchdown ... I don't know
much about it, but I'm.

The games are about having
fun, but Zaxby's Raiders coach
Bud Parker said there is defi-
nitely an intense atmosphere
surrounding the contests.
"It's just the added tension,
a little added pressure," he
said.
"Because in the bowl game,
you're one-and-done. If you
lose one, you're out. So it's a
little more pressure, but it
gives them something they've
never experienced before."
The Raiders went undefeat-
ed in the regular season, and
continued that streak with a
narrow 20-16 win against the
Annie Mattox Eagles in the
Midget League semifinals.
Their reward is a date with
Quincy in the Midget League

Woods surges to
Dunlap Phoenix lead
Furyk is one shot
back, Duval slips to
a third-place tie.
By JIM ARMSTRONG
Associated Press
MIYAZAKI, Japan - Just
like last year, Tiger Woods is in
front at the Dunlop Phoenix -
with far less room for mistakes.
After trailing by a stroke in
each of the first two rounds,
Woods shot a 2-under-par 68
Saturday to take a one-stroke
lead over Jim Furyk. Woods is
at 10-under 200 while Furyk
shot a 70 for 201. David Duval,
whose last victory came at
this event in 2001, shot a 71
and was at 203.
Woods entered the final
round of last year's tourna-
ment with a 10-stroke lead and
shot a."
Woods carded five birdies
against three bogeys at the
Phoenix Country Club and
took advantage of a shaky
back nine by Furyk.
"The golf course was play-
ing difficult today," Woods
said. "I knew it was a day
when you had to play more
conservatively. Guys weren't
going to go, too low so a 2
under is a pretty good score."
Furyk, who held a one-
stroke lead over Woods enter-
ing the third round, bogeyed
the par-3 17th hole when he
hit a tee shot that went into
the greenside rough.
His second shot landed on
the edge of the green and he
two-putted for his third bogey
of the day.
"It was an interesting day,"
Furyk said.
"I was happy that I played
well on the front nine when it
was windy and the conditions
were tough, but disappointed
that I didn't play better after
the turn when the conditions
were better."
Furyk finished with a birdie
on No. 18 in the $1.7 million
tournament, the richest on
the Japanese tour.
Woods had a chance for an
eagle on the par-5 18th when
-he reached the green in two
Tiger Woods hits a shot during the fourth hole of the third round in
the Phoenix Tournament at the Phoenix Country Club in Miyazaki,
southern Japan on Saturday. After trailing by a shot after each of
the first two rounds, defending champion Woods shot a 2-under-par
68 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Jim Furyk at the
tournament.
"I just need to go
out there and
execute shots and
play well in order
to win. Jim
(Furyk) loves to
compete and
that's what makes
him tough to
beat."
- Tiger Woods,
Dunlap Phoenix leader.
but he left his first putt 7 feet
short and two-putted for birdie.
On the par-4 13th, Woods'
tee shot landed in the rough at
the side of the green. He
chipped on and then made a
10-foot birdie putt. Furyk
played it safe by laying up in
front of the green but had to
settle for par.
"It seems like every putt I
made today was downhill,"
Woods said.
"The greens here are fast
and the pin placings were real
tough today."
Duval, who shared second
with Woods entering the third
round and had a one-stroke
lead after the first round, is
tied for third with Japan's
Kaname Yokoo (68).
Duval, whose last victory
was at this event in 2001, had
three birdies and four bogeys.
Woods is. coming off two
runner-up finishes - at the
HSBC Champions in
Shanghai, China, last week
and the Tour Championship
two weeks ago.
He enjoyed* playing with
Duval and Furyk.
"We had a lot of fun out
there today," Woods said. "I've
played with Jim in the
Presidents Cup and with
David in the Ryder Cup and
World Cup, so it was a blast
(Saturday)."
Sorenstam clings to ADT lead
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH -
Annika Sorenstam had a two-
shot lead that she thought
should have been more as
she stood in the rough on the
18th hole Saturday in the
ADT Championship, staring
at a difficult lie below her feet
and a big water hazard next
to the green.
This had not been the best
of days.
She wanted to make sure it
didn't get worse.
'This was too dangerous,"
she said.
Sorenstam opted for cau-
tion, laid up and made bogey
on the par-4 closing hole for a
2-over 74 that cut another
stroke off her lead and ended
her streak of nine consecu-
tive rounds at par or better at
Trump International.
The good news?
She still had the lead by one
shot over Marisa Baena and
Liselotte Neumann heading
into the final round of the year
at a tournament where she is
the defending champion.
"She didn't birdie the last
hole," Neumann said.
"She ended up shooting
(2 over), which is a little bit
unusual for her. But, unfortu-
nately, that probably only
gets her more fired up for
(today). That's usually how it
works when she doesn't have
a good day. She really comes
back and plays great the next

birdies on seven of her final
seven holes, wound up tied
for second with a 6-under 66
- the only round in the 60s
- that put her one shot
behind.
'That was one of the best
rounds of golf I've ever
played," Baena said.
Sorenstam was at 3-under
213, one of only five players
who remained under par.
"I'm glad to be in the posi-
tion I'm in, but I'm disap-
pointed with my round
today," Sorenstam said.
"I'm just looking forward
to (today), to the last day, and
give it all I've got."
Catriona Matthew had a 70
and was at 1-under 215, along
with Hee-Won Han (74).
It was an exasperating day
for most everyone else, best
illustrated by the way Cristie
Kerr left the course.
She three-putted from the
fringe on the 18th for a bogey
and a 76, then angrily tossed
her ball to the water.
But she left that short, and
had to run across the green
and into the rough to
retrieve' the ball, exiting
through a tunnel beneath
the bleachers to reach the
scoring tent.
Paula Creamer, the
19-year-old rookie of the
year, stumbled in the middle
of the back nine and wound
up with a 74 to finish at 1-
over 217, still only four shots
behind.

Jags must deal with Titans
in chase for playoff berth
By TERESA M.WALKER
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The
Jacksonville Jaguars have one
large obstacle - or perhaps
it's a mental block - to over-
come in their push for their
first playoff berth since 1999.
It's the Tennessee Titans.
Since joining the NFL in
1995, the Jaguars have, played
the former Houston Oilers
more than any other franchise
in a rivalry that started in
their inaugural game as AFC
Central foes and survived the
league's reorganization.
It was the Titans who kept
them from the Super Bowl in
2000 and have dominated this
series, winning six of the last
seven, 11 of the last 14.
Even banged-up last sea-
son, Tennessee still beat the
Jags, a loss that helped keep
them out of the playoffs
despite their first winning
record since, yes, 1999.
Today, the Jaguars (6-3) can
change that balance when
they visit the struggling
Titans (2-7) in what would be

"I think we're starting to

Del Rio said. "I feel good
about that. I think we under-

The Jaguars finally seem to

and defense, coming off a 30-3

was their first 30-point game
since Dec. 23, 2001. This

run in Florida's 75-70 victory
over No. 16 Syracuse on Friday
night in the championship
game of the 2K Sports College

'They are young and eager
just to be out there playing,"
Donovan said. 'There's a lot of
unselfishness with them."
Florida (4-0) trailed 62-60
with 6:43 left before going on a
12-0 run. Green, named MVP
of the tournament, had eight
points during that span,
including a 3-pointer with 1:52
left to cap the spurt and give
the Gators a 72-62 lead, their
biggest of the game.
'Taurean Green made some
great plays," Florida coach
Billy Donovan said.
Green matched his career-
high set in the semifinals on
Thursday night against Wake
Forest.
"It's .a great feeling win-
ning," Green said. '"We just
wanted to move the ball and
get open shots."
This should have been a tran-
sition season for the Gators,
having lost David Lee, Anthony
Robertson and Matt Walsh,
who supplied 60 percent of the
offense on last year's SEC

By PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
ATLANTA - The Tampa
Bay Buccaneers are one
team that doesn't mind facing
Michael Vick.
The Bucs have chased,
harassed and beaten up the
Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
They've come up with cover-
ages that confused
him, devised blitzes
that sent him fleeing
and generally made
one of the NFL's most
dynamic players look
ordinary.
"Yes; everybody
tries to look at our blueprint,"
defensive end Greg Spires
said. "But the thing is, we just
go out there and play. We
don't have a secret. We know
Vick is a scrambling quarter-
back, so were not going to
wait on him. We're going'to
shoot our guns at him."
The Falcons (6-3) will host
the Bucs (6-3) in a crucial
NFC South game today. Both
teams are one game behind

first-place Carolina in what
appears to be the league's
strongest division. Both
teams know the winner of
this one will position itself
much more favorably for a
run at the playoffs.
Then there's the game
within the game: Vick vs. the
Bucs' defense.
The lowdown on Vick's
five career starts
against Tampa Bay:
He's completed only
47.4 percent of his
passes and averaged
less than 110 yards per
game through the air.
While he has run for
203 yards, averaging 5.6 per
carry, the Bucs have 14 sacks,
more than any team has
against the elusive
quarterback.
Tampa Bay set the tone in its
first encounter with Vick back
in 2002. He completed only 4 of
12 passes, ran once for 1 yard
and was sacked three times -
the last of the hits knocking
him out of the. game with a
sprained shoulder.

Auburn whips 'Bama in Iron Bowl
Georgia clinches
SEC East title by
beating Kentucky.
Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. - Bran-
don Cox passed for two first-
half touchdowns and
Auburn sacked Brodie
Croyle 11 times in Auburn's
28-18 victory against
Alabama on Saturday, the
Tigers' fourth consecutive
win in this bitter rivalry.
Auburn (9-2, 7-1
Southeastern Conference)
clinched at least a share of
the Western Division title
for the fifth time in six sea-
sons scor-
ing!"
No. 9 Ohio State 25.
No. 17 Michigan 21
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -
Antonio Pittman's 3-yard
run with 24 seconds left
capped an 88-yard drive and
gave ninth-ranked Ohio
State a win against No. 17
Michigan, clinching a share
of the Big Ten title.
Ohio State (9-2, 7-1)
closed the regular season
with six straight wins and
gave coach Jim Tressel his
fourth win in five games
against Michigan (7-4, 5-3).
The Buckeyes shared the
conference title with Penn
State, which beat them in
October and will get the Big
Ten's BCS bid.
The Buckeyes rallied for
the victory despite two
turnovers and a shanked punt
that led to scores, a missed
extra point and field goal, mis-
handled punt returns and two
pass interference penalties in
the end zone,.
Michigan was essentially
playing mistake-free football
when it led 21-12 midway
through the fourth quarter
before Ohio State quarter-
back.
No. 5 Penn State 31,
Michigan State 22
EAST LANSING, Mich.
- Joe Paterno and Penn
State locked up their first
Bowl Championship Series
bid after the Nittany Lions
defeated Michigan State to
win their first Big Ten title in
11 years.
Michael'Robinson ran for
90 yards and a touchdown
and passed for another, and
Alan Zemaitis had three
interceptions for Penn State
(10-1, 6-1).
Coming off a 4-7 season,
Penn State tied Ohio State for
the Big Ten lead but will get
the league's automatic BCS
bid because the Lions beat
the Buckeyes in October.
Michigan State (5-6, 2-6),
which began the season 4-0,
finished it with six losses in
seven games to post consec-
utive losing seasons for the
first time since 1991-92.
Win No. 353 gave Paterno
his first Big Ten title since
1994.
No. 6 Notre Dame 34,
Syracuse 10
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -
Brady Quinn threw two
touchdown passes and Leo
Ferrine returned an inter-
ception for a touchdown,
giving Notre Dame a victory
over Syracuse.
Darius Walker, who rushed
for 123 yards on 26 carries,
added a 3-yard TD run in the
fourth quarter. The Irish
struggled on offense, with
Quinn not as sharp as he has
been and receivers dropping
catchable balls, but were still
good enough to beat the
Orange (1-9).
Notre Dame (8-2) needs
to beat Stanford next week
to remain eligible for its first
Bowl Championship Series
berth since 2000.
No. 7 Virginia Tech 52,
Virginia 14
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
- Virginia Tech dominated
archrival Virginia to keep
alive its hopes of gaining a
spot in the Bowl
Championship Series.
Two long weeks after get-
ting beaten convincingly by
No. 3 Miami, Cedric Humes
ran for 113 yards and three
touchdowns and Marcus
Vick threw for two more
scores as the Hokies beat
Virginia for the sixth time in
the last seven meetings.
Virginia Tech (9-1, 6-1

Shockley, one of the sen-

Georgia's final home game
of the season, completed
17-of-31 for 159 yards in less
than three quarters. Bryan
McClendon caught two of
the TD passes.
Even when the Wildcats
(3-7, 2-5) held a 3-0 lead at
the end of the first quarter,
no one at Sanford Stadium
seemed too concerned.

22-6.
The Packers will face Quincy
at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The
Eagles defeated Madison County
21-14 earlier Saturday.
The championship games
were originally scheduled for the
afternoon, but Quincy has a half-
day of school Wednesday, so
players and coaches would not be
able to make it to Lake City until
the evening.
This year, the Lake
City/Columbia County Parks and
Recreation Department and the
Columbia Youth Football
Association decided to tweak the
Memorial Bowl format.
In the past, the event was com-
prised of All-Star teams from
nearby areas. But this year, local
teams from surrounding areas
were invited to attend.
And Parks and Recreation
Department Athletic Director
Mario Coppock said the new for-
mat has been a success, citing
that in last year's all-star format,
Lake City had two teams and a
total of 50 players represented.
This year, that number swelled
to seven teams and 210 players.
'That's just tremendous,"
Coppock said.
It's been a long season for the
parents, players and coaches -
something Coppock plans to
rectify.
"When you consider we start-
ed in August, and we. finish this
Wednesday - that's a long
season," Coppock said.
"We can curtail this bowl a lit-
tle bit next year. If that means a
reduction in teams' and possibly
starting earlier and using another
venue, we will."
Coppock said Columbia High
has been receptive to the idea of
hosting some games at the high
school football field in the future.
As for taking the credit for the
success of the Memorial Bowl,
Coppock pointed out that it was a
team effort.
'The coaches, our community,
our cheerleaders, everybody
involved in this, the Parks and
Rec. Department, the mainte-
nance staff, the guys who take
care of the field, the concession
people - they've all been very
supportive," Coppock said.
That support will probably
intensify by Wednesday, when
fans from Quincy and Lake City
pack the Memorial Bowl for the
final time this youth football
season.
Arid you can .bet it will be all
about football then.

LAKE CITY REPORTER NASCAR SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2005
Stewart at ease as he closes
in on NASCAR history
Only 13 drivers
have won multiple
NASCAR titles.
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
HOMESTEAD - On the
verge of racing into NASCAR
history, temperamental Tony
Stewart spent Saturday morn-
ing searching for a little
serenity. He went fishing.
Under a brilliant sun on a
calm lake inside Homestead-
Miami Speedway, Stewart was
seemingly at peace. Unlike his
tortured run to the title in 2002,
his second march has been
smooth with few distractions.
Needing to finish ninth or
better today to clinch the
Nextel Cup title, Stewart can
use the season finale to
cement his name among
NASCAR's elite. Only 13 driv-
ers have won more than one
championship, with Jeff
Gordon the only one among
active drivers.
"I think he already ranks
right up there with the big
boys," said A.J. Foyt,
Stewart's boyhood idol and no
slouch himself with four
Indianapolis 500 victories and
a Daytona 500 win. "He's got a
lot of winning left in him.
There aren't a lot of drivers
Edwards
ArT1i
like Tony Stewart anymore."
A winner at every level of
racing he's entered, NASCAR
was no different for Stewart
when he made the leap into
stock cars in 1999 following a
championship stint in the Indy
Racing League.
But the time demands, spon-
sor commitments and constant
scrutiny were difficult for
Stewart, a driver who relaxed
in a race car and seemed on
edge - sometimes even angry
- everywhere else.
He soon became known as
an extraordinary talent with a
history of derailing his own
success. He was his own worst
enemy, especially during his
2002 championship season.
NASCAR's bad boy was on
probation for punching a pho-
tographer, was ordered to
attend anger management
classes and was generally just
miserable. In the buildup to
the season finale, he was
dogged with questions about
what kind of champion he
would be and if his temper
would embarrass NASCAR
during his reign as the series
ambassador.
Three years later, Stewart
has finally figured out how to
cap his short fuse.
There have been few out-
bursts and fewer tantrums.
When baited, he was able to
summon the strength to walk
away.
"You know what? He's 34
years old nowv," said his moth-
er, Pam Boas. "It was time to
grow up."
Stewart is far from
NASCAR's new golden boy,
but his dealings with the
sport's leadership have been
far more pleasant these days.
"I've really noticed a differ-
ence in him," said chairman
Brian France. "He's different
when I talk to him now. He's
more approachable. He's got a
smile on his face. He doesn't
make comments anymore.
that you don't understand. He
takes things in stride more.
"Whatever he is doing
looks like it is helping on the
track, too, because he is deal-
ing with adversity and manag-
ing it better than he ever has."
Should Stewart win the
championship on Sunday, it
would be his second in four
seasons - and his third major
title since 1997's IRL crown.
But this championship is no
gimme, .although it is his to
lose.
He leads Jimmie Johnson
by 52 points, with Carl
Edwards and Greg Biffle not
far behind. Edwards won the
pole, Biffle - the defending
race winner - qualified sev-
enth. Stewart will start 20th
and Johnson was 32nd.
Still, all the contenders
have accepted that it will take
a colossal collapse by Stewart
and his team - which has
been nearly flawless during
the entire Chase for the cham-
pionship - for anyone but
Stewart to win.
"I think it will be a travesty
if Tony doesn't win a champi-
onship," rival car owner Jack
Roush conceded. "I hope that
he does."
So does Stewart, who does-
n't want this second title so
much for himself, rather as a
gift to the team that stuck with
him through his darkest days.
"It would mean everything
to me, that's why I want to win
it so bad this year," Stewart
said. "2002 was probably one
of the worst personal years of
my life, even though it was
one of the most gratifying pro-
fessional years of my life as far
as winning a championship."
"It will mean 10 times more
if we can do it this year with
the way the year has been. I
think the entire team will
enjoy it more," he added.
Stewart will have to keep
his composure through one
more weekend. He succeeded
on Friday when he lost control
of the No. 20 Chevrolet during
practice, keeping it off the
wall through two full spins.

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart talks to reporters during a news
conference on Thursday in Miami. All Stewart has to do to win his
second championship is finish ninth or better in today's season
finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

HOMESTEAD - Carl
Edwards keeps doing things
nobody expects.
Edwards, nearing the end of
his first full season'in NASCAR
Nextel Cup with a mathemati-
cal chance to overtake, veter-
ans Tony Stewart and Jimmie
Johnson for the championship,
won the pole for today's
season-ending Ford 400.
Edwards edged qualifying
ace Ryan Newman for his sec-
ond career pole with a lap of
176.05'1
m p h . ' H
Newman,
who led all
drivers in
poles for the :
straight sea-
son, turned Edwards
a lap of 176.039. The time dif-
ferential between the two was
0.002-seconds.
"It's a great way to start the
weekend," said Edwards, who
trails leader Stewart by .87
points and is 35 behind
Johnson for the runner-up spot.
Stewart, the 2002 champion,
qualified 20th' and simply
needs to finish ninth or better
to close out his pursuers, no
matter what they do.
"If we can just go out there
and have a good run, we'll let
the rest of it take care of
itself," he said.
"We don't have to create
magic this weekend. We just
have to go out and have a solid
performance."
The day didn't start well for
Edwards, who woke to find
part of the floor in his motor
home, .parked in the infield at
the track, flooded.
"I left the darned sink run-
ning all night and the people
here at Homestead-Miami
Speedway are so gracious, they
leave you a water line hooked
up, so you never run out of
water," Edwards explained.,
Johnson, the runner-up
each of the past two years,
qualified 32nd on Saturday. A
year ago, he was worse off,
starting from the rear of the
field after qualifying so slowly
he had to use a provisional.
But Johnson was able to move
through the field and finish
second, losing the title to Kurt
Busch by just eight points.

Downtown bustles with activity along Marion Avenue.
Downtown gets new life
Downtown Action
Committee helps drive
revitalization of the area.
By LINDA YOUNG
lyoung@lakecityreporter., corn
Ambiance, uniqueness,
people, activities and
convenience are reasons
many business owners
use to describe what
drew them to locate or relocate in
downtown Lake City this year.
Those things did not happen by
chance. They are results of concerted
effort by the Downtown Action
Committee (DAC) to bring more foot
traffic to the downtown area.
"One of our goals is to bring more
people down here with more
activities," said Patty Kimler, board
member of DAC.
"It brings people downtown," Kimler
said.
And more people downtown brings
more business, both new and existing.
"We have a lot more walk-in traffic
here than we did where we were " said
Gwen MacLaren, owner of Creative
Stitches.
MacLaren moved her store from
West Duval Street to 273 N. Marion
Ave. in August.
Along with picking up new repeat
customers from the area, MacLaren
said she gained business from tourists
who aren't interested in the same
malls and stores that every other town
has.
'They want to see what is unique,
the real flavor of our town," MacLaren
said. "I think the downtown area is
really a magnet for attracting people to
our county."
"I really love it downtown,
everything is so convenient, with
everyone walking around, and my
customers have been so favorable
about the move, they really like it
down here," MacLaren said.
Sandy Greeley opened The
Household Consignment Store at
150 N. Marion Ave. two months ago.
She had a similar store in Port
Charlotte Harbor for three years and
lost everything a year ago in
Hurricane Charley. She came north to

Burn Rate
Q What's a "bum rate"? - P V,
Escondido, Calif.
A A company's burn rate refers
to how quickly it's burning
through cash. This isn't that much
of an issue for large, established
companies, but with small and
quickly growing enterprises, it's
valuable to look at their bum rate.
The number to examine is free c sh
flow, which is income from opera-
tions, less capital e'pendit ltre-.
For example, imagine that in its
most recent quarterly report, the
Rubber Chick. C.neriin- Co.
(ticker: CHEWY) reported "l-g.raie

SMALL TALK
Last chance for
2005 tax planning
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK - The next
few weeks will be a critical
time at small businesses - by
mid-December, companies
need to have their tax plan-
ning for the current year pret-
ty much complete. They also
need to be looking ahead to
2006.
For many businesses, the
two biggest year-end con-
cerns will be capital spending
and retirement plans - either
category can give your com-
pany a potentially large tax
deduction. But before you
make any big commitments
on equipment or a pension
plan, you need to be sure that
you're making a decision that
makes sense when you con-
sider how profitable your busi-
ness is, not just this year, but
next year also.
"You've got to look at your
tax bracket from year to year,
the whole picture," said
Jeffrey Berdahl, a certified
public accountant with Beard
Miller Co. in Allentown, Pa.
You also need to be certain
that you should never make a
year-end decision solely for
the purpose of lowering your
taxes - if you buy equipment,
for example, you should do so
because it fits into your overall
business plan.
Small businesses that buy
certain kinds of equipment
and put it into service by the
end of this year are eligible to
deduct the full amount of the
purchase price, up to a maxi-
mum of $105,000, rather than
depreciate it. Computers, cars
and manufacturing machinery
are among the kinds of equip-
ment that qualify for this
deduction; heating and cool-
ing systems are the kinds that
don't.
You can find out more about
the deduction, known as the
Section 179 deduction after an
Internal Revenue Code provi-
sions, by downloading IRS
Publication 946, "How To
Depreciate Property" from
the IRS Web Site,. Another
online resource is the CCH
Business Owner's Toolkit at, cch.com/tex
t/P07(underscore) 2930. asp.
Small business tax guides in
libraries and bookstores will
also explain the basics.
While retirement plans may
seem to be an obvious way for
a company to lower its tax bill,
accountants say many small
business owners don't get
around to starting one.
You can get a quick educa-
tion into retirement plans at
the IRS web site. The agency's
Publication 560, "Retirement
Plans for Small Business,"
spells out the differences
among plans such as
Simplified Employee Pensions
(SEPs), Savings Incentive
Match Plans for Employees
(SIMPLEs) and the more
complicated plans such as
Keoughs, defined contribu-
tion plans and defined benefit
plans.
But beware - while you
still have time to set up a SEP
plan, you've passed the dead-
lines that apply to some other
retirement plans. And, if
you're going to create a quali-
fied plan, you have a fair
amount of paperwork ahead
of you. Publication 560
explains the requirements.
Berdahl noted that many
companies at this point are
working on setting up plans
for early in 2006 rather than
trying to cram them in before
the end of the year. And that's

Charter boat captains
tally storm losses
By MELISSA NELSON
Associated Press
PENSACOLA - Charter
boat owners from KeyWest to
Corpus Christi, Texas, are
joining forces to convince
Congress of the need for post-
Hurricane Katrina economic
relief.' ..
The National Association of
Charter Boat Captains began a
series of meetings with Gulf
Coast charter boat owners in
mid-October in Mississippi
and will conclude the meet-
ings in South Florida next
month. The association met
Friday with Pensacola boat
owners.
"If there's a silver lining to
Katrina, it's that we've come
together as an industry across
the gulf. When we all, come
together as five gulf states, we
have a more powerful voice,"
said Bobbi Walker, executive
director of the association, told
the Pensacola group.
The 3,000 member associa-
tion hopes to convince
Congress to approve low-inter-
est loans, grants and other
assistance by compiling an
economic impact survey of
charter boat losses from
recent hurricanes.
Bob Zales II, the associa-
tion's president, said charter
boat bookings are down
80 percent at his Panama City
business since Katrina hit. He
doesn't expect business to
improve anytime soon
because of a wave of negative
publicity about conditions on
the Gulf Coast.
Another problem, fish popu-
lations were widely scattered
by the numerous hurricanes
to strike the region. When
Hurricane Ivan struck the
Florida Panhandle in
September 2004, it destroyed
many of the reefs where fish
gather, he said.
SMALL TALK
Continued From 2C
a sensible way to do it -
taking the time to set up a
plan carefully will help
ensure you get one that
works best for your
company.
It's a good idea to consult
with a tax professional
before setting up any retire-
ment plan - and, to be on
the safe side, before you
make any big tax decision.
There are other impor-
tant tax issues to be think-
ing about at this point in the
year.
For example, if, you're
going to owe 2005 taxes, do
you know how you're going
to be paying them? Do you
have a sense of what your
cash flow will be like?
Should you be thinking
about filing for an extension
of the time to file your tax
return (keeping in mind you
still need to pay your taxes
by next year's April 17
deadline)?

Holiday
tree care
in a snap
is a holiday
tradition observed
around the world.
Various cultures
have different interpretations
of what the evergreen
Christmas tree symbolizes
ranging from a celebration of
the winter solstice to the gift
of eternal life promised by
Christ. With its decorations
and gifts underneath, it is
perhaps one of the most
recognized symbols of this
time of year.
While many people have
chosen to use artificial trees,
some prefer the smell and
look of a live tree. One option
is a live tree that still has
roots. These can be used
indoors in a pot and planted
outside after the holiday
season. These are typically
smaller trees since a large tree
would require too large a pot
and would not survive the
transplanting well. Most local
nurseries or garden centers
can supply a nice evergreen in
a pot suitable for growing in
our area. Be sure to put it near
a sunny window since it still is
a living tree.
Some people go out on the
farm and cut a tree from the
fence row. If you choose to cut
a tree yourself, do not cut
trees from State parks, wildlife
preserves, and other public
property (or someone else's
private property without their
permission). Make the saw cut
is as low as possible on the
trunk since you will need to
cut another inch off the base
of the trunk when you get
home before placing the'tree
in water.
Christmas trees are also
grown in commercial tree
farms. They are planted in
rows so weeds and insects can
be controlled. The trees are
pruned or sheared regularly
with large machete-like knives
to give them that conical
shape we typically see. It may
take 7 to 12 years to grow a
seven-foot tree. Some
Christmas tree farms sell
directly to the public and allow
you to pick and cut your own
tree. Take a picnic and make it
a family outing.
When purchasing a live tree
that has already been cut,
select the freshest tree
available. The needles should
appear green and healthy.
Shaking or bouncing the tree
should not result in the loss of
very many needles (except
some older ones on the
inside).
Check the tree for insects,
spiders or any other
unwelcome hitchhikers.
Shake or bounce the tree
outdoors to dislodge any
unwanted "residents." A blast
from the water hose may be
used if needed. If the tree is
already indoors and insects
are detected or sticky drops
are found on the presents
underneath the tree, use an
aerosol insecticide labeled for
indoor use. You might want
to remove the presents and
open some windows before
spraying.
The tree needs to be able
to absorb water from its base
in order to stay fresh and

When the children are
complaining of boredom, take
them to Gainesville's museum.
By SUSAN SLOAN
Special to the Reporter
he next cold, rainy Sunday
afternoon, when the kids are
complaining there's nothing to
do, take a trip to Gainesville to
the Museum of Natural History
at the University of Florida, and
the afternoon will just fly by.
I arrived at the museum with
a group of church children, who
all immediately begged to enter
the Northwest Florida: Waterways & Wildlife
Exhibit. Entering the exhibit, you are transported to
the northwest part of the state, where hardwood
hammocks and
limestone caves abound. Before entering the
life-sized limestone cave, there is an interactive
exhibit with the plants, animals, insects and birds
that frequent the area.
The museum challenges visitors to find the series
of flora and fauna that can be found in the exhibit,
with secret nooks and crannies to make the search
challenging.
The exhibits explain the relationships between
the plants and wildlife and will teach even the most
knowledgeable something new.
Moving through the life-sized limestone cave, the
walls are covered with icky, gooey slime and an
impressive display of stalagmites and stalactites.
There is an interactive search for fossils and cave
dwellers, and the kids had a great time clamoring in
and out of the cavern.
From there, you move through a pitcher plant
bog - where carnivorous plants of the coastal plain
are found - and a Native American trading scene.
A boardwalk of the coastal salt marsh and a
butterfly exhibit complete the educational
experience of Northwest Florida region.
As you travel from Northwest Florida, you pass
through a shark exhibit that will make you
reconsider the next time you take a trip to the
ocean. A series of shark jaws wowed and amazed
the children as they stood before teeth that could
have easily devoured our whole crew.
From there, we traveled to the Florida Fossils:
Evolution of Life & Land Exhibit. While some of this
exhibit features scientific and geological information
that was more than our group could understand, the
amazing display of fossils and depictions of the last
65 million years of Florida's history was fantastic.
From when Florida was underwater through
when the first humans arrived 14,000 years ago, you

bridge between North and South America that
experts say formed about three million years ago.
The displays help
connect the fossils, o
present-day animals

From a 15-foot-tall

can have fun relating

Community
College campus will be a very
busy place as host to a
number of programs,
performances, luncheons, and
recitals. If you've never been
to the college, December
might be the time to visit.
Beginning on Dec. 1,
Steven King, instructor of the
irrigation management
program will host the seventh
annual hog roast fundraiser.
Steven started the holiday
gathering to welcome alumni
back to campus and offer
current students a chance to
network with people in the
industry. The hog roast will be
from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in
Building 036, (the irrigation
lab). Money raised from the
meal and raffle is earmarked
for the Landscape and
Irrigation clubs.
On Dec. 2 the college's
library will be the location for
"Jazz and Java." The
coffee and jazz will be flowing
beginning at 7 p.m. and atten-
dees will get to hear live jazz,
poetry readings, and possibly
a poetry slam.
On Dec. 6 the lights bright-

Life as a professional
video gamer has its perks
By MATT SEDENSKY with-
out effort, he has annihilated
his foe.
Time to punch out. Another
hard day at work.
Welcome to the basement
'lair of the 24-year-old \Wndc-d,
the man known and feared by
aficionados of multiplayer
games across the globe as
"Fatality."
If you deign to think of
video games as simply a child-
ish pastime, consider this pro-
fessional game player. He col-
lects a six-figure salary, has
his own brand of gaming mer-
chandise and travels the
world to compete - regarded
by those in the know as one of
the most gifted players of his
kind.
"It's ffn to play games for a
living," says Wendel. "Getting
up every day is very easy."
If professional video
gamers have a knight-errant,
Fatality begin even
persuade his wife.
"She said, This is why you
quit investment banking? To
do this crazy thing?"' he
recalled. "I couldn't convince
even the gamers."
That's beginning to change.
Tens of thousands turn out
each year at tournaments
around the world as both seri-
ous gamers and doting fans.
Major corporations including
Intel Corp., Samsung
Electronics Co. and the maker
of Tylenol are becoming spon-
sors. And video game enthusi-
asts are no longer seen as
socially inept geeks.
Wendel's journey to the
Nokia Theatre in Times
Square - where he'll face off
against other individual play-
ers in a "first-person shooter"
game called Painkiller and
hope to win his 12th major
championship - began
around the age of five, the age of 15, he
started taking home prizes
from local competitions. At 18,

DEAR ABBY
Concerned daughter wants
to help mom lose weight
DEAR ABBY: I am a
teenage girl with an obese
mother. She doesn't exercise
much. She started going to
the gym about a month ago,
but since has stopped.. When I try to
talk to her about her bad
habits, she gets defensive and
angry. I want her to lose
weight and am willing to help
her. How can I confront my
mom about her problem? -
HUNGRY FOR HELP IN
NORFOLK, VA.
DEAR HUNGRY FOR
HELP: You are a caring and
concerned daughter, and for
that you deserve to be
praised. However, no one can
"help" your mother until she's
willing to admit she has a
problem. The behavior you
described isn't "evening
snacking"; it's binging. Until
she's ready to confront what is
eating HER, she will not stop
trying to fill the emptiness
inside with food.
Rather than confronting
your mother yourself, enlist
Abigail Van Buren
the help of a close friend or
family member. If your. moth-
er agrees, her next step
should be to check the phone
book for the listing of the
nearest chapter of Overeaters
Anonymous. They charge no
dues or fees, and no member-
ship lists are kept. There is no
shaming, no weighing in and
no embarrassment. The only
requirement for membership
is a desire to stop eating com-
pulsively. When your mother
attends a meeting, she'll be
welcomed with open arms
into a fellowship of compas-
sionate women and men who
all share her problem.
There are more than 8,000
Overeaters Anonymous
groups worldwide and chap-
ters in almost every city.
However, if your mother has
difficulty locating one, help
her by visiting-
sanonymous.org or sending a
long, self-addressed, stamped
envelope to OA World Service
Office, P.O. Box 44020, Rio
Rancho, NM 87174-4020.
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Avoid any squabbles
with friends or family. Take
care of your responsibilities
without being asked. Money
will come your way if your
intentions and motives are
good. **
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Have some faith in your-
self and what you can do.
Being nice and offering what-
ever you can to help others
should be your intent. Don't
be impulsive when it comes to
spending. ****
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): Follow your basic
instincts when it comes to a
deal or job prospect. Move for-
ward with your plans, prepar-
ing to present what you have
come up, with. Your keen
sense of timing will enable
you to pick the best time to
get other people on board,
making your . proposal
successful. ***

downs will let others see and

know how caring you really
are. You need to get involved
in activities that will spark
your creative imagination. A
change in your lifestyle may
come as a surprise to the peo-
ple to whom you are closest.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Keep your thoughts a secret
today. Your observations may
change your mind drastically,
and you wouldn't want to jeop-
ardize your chance to follow a
new path. Making a move will
be to your benefit. ***
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): You are up for change in
your personal life. Take a look
at your situation and, if it isn't
working for you, do whatever
is required to make your life
better. You may want to re-
evaluate some of your
relationships. ****
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): You won't be able to fool
DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I have a friend, "Jon," who
told us he wanted to open a
nonprofit Christian center,
and my husband donated
$1,000 to help out. About a
month later, Jon decided he
couldn't handle it and bailed
out. The business never
opened.
I say Jon should pay my
husband back the money. Jon
says he used it on a mission
run for someone we don't
know, for vehicle repairs, and
to reimburse some of his own
losses.
I am being made out to be
the "bad guy" here. This is
twice that it has happened to
my husband. Am I right about
this? If I'm wrong, I'll drop it.
- FURIOUS IN
WELLINGTON, COLO.
DEAR FURIOUS: I don't
blame you for being furious.
Perhaps you should inform
"Jon" that if he doesn't return
the money, you will inform the
fraud unit of your local police
department. There is more to
setting up a nonprofit than
putting out your hand and say-
ing you're starting one; legal
steps must be taken that
appear to have been "over-
looked." So stick to your guns,
and if it means the end of the
"friendship," you won't have
lost much.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

ranging from Miles Davis' boa
constrictor snakeskin jacket to
the Boesendorfer grand piano
from Manhattan's Blue Note
club. The auction raised more
than $300,000 Wednesday
night, with Davis' jacket fetch-
ing $13,000; bidding on some
items, including the Blue Note
piano, was to continue online
for another week.
A 1961 New York Times
photo showing Armstrong
playing for his wife in front of
the pyramids in Giza, Egypt,
sold for $1,600. A vocal coach-
ing session from Roberta Flack
went for $5,000, and a jazz
piano lesson from Billy Taylor
went for $2,500.
The presale estimates
ranged from $200 for the
Times photo to $65,000 for the
Blue Note piano.
The online component of the
fundraiser -also - were
flown in for the evening at the
B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in
Times Square. The band previ-
ously performed a New
Orleans-style funeral proces-
sion at the Halloween parade in
Greenwich Village.
The New York-based founda-
tion, which fields up to
20 requests a day for help,
already has delivered more
than $120,000 worth of new
instruments.

The Florida Museum of Natural History features 'The Pearsall
Collection of American Indian Art: 40th Anniversary Selections,'
where exquisite beadwork like this beaded Indian on Horseback
can be seen.

and Desert West Indians
culture is shown by photogra-
phy, carvings, beadwork, jewel-
ry, pipes, pottery and other
Indian art.
More than 200 of the best
objects from the Florida
Museum's Leigh Morgan
Pearsall collection is on dis-
play for the first time since it
was acquired in 1963.
And to end the day with what
kids love best, slimy squirmy
sea creatures, our tour finished
up at the "In Search of Giant
Squid" exhibit (until Jan. 2,
2006).
What's bigger than a
school bus and battles sperm
whales? Who has the world's
largest eye and blue blood?
The giant squid, of course.
The fact that no one has actu-
ally seen a live giant squid
only adds to the mystery.
A frightening monster in the
same category as Big Foot or
the Loch Ness Monster, the
giant squid struck fear into the
hearts of sailors for centuries.
This exhibit by the Smithsonian
Institution de-mystifies the
giant squid and gives the kids
an opportunity to view life deep
under the ocean in just one part
of this interesting exhibit.
At this point, we had spent
three hours that had sped by
like it was 30 minutes. Of
course, the kids had to have
just one more trip to the cave,
where they spent the next
few minutes scaring each
other as they traveled
through the twists and turns
and then it was off to the gift
shop to get a souvenir of their
day.
When you have five chil-
dren from 6 to 17 years of age
all proclaiming "this was the
best time we've had in a long
time," you know you've hit on
something special.
The museum is open all year,
seven-days a week except for
Thanksgiving and Christmas,
Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5
p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m.
The Florida Museum of
Natural History is located at
the University of Florida
Cultural Plaza, SW 34th
Street and Hull Road,
Gainesville.

exit 384 and travel east on

get it home, trim about an
inch off the base of the trunk
to expose fresh wood.
Immediately place the tree in
a stand that can contain
about a gallon of water. Refill
the water at least daily.
Adding supplements to the
water such as aspirin, soda,
bleach or sugar do not
extend the life of the tree.
Keep your tree away from
the fireplace or any open
flame. Burning candles
directly on the tree may have
been the early form of lights,
but is not recommended due.
to the fire hazard. Keeping
the tree watered is one of the
best fire-prevention
measures.
After the holidays, what will
you do with your tree? The
landfill will accept trees for
disposal. Some people
choose to burn their old tree
(with a water hose nearby of
course). If you burn. your
tree, recycle the ashes as fer-
tilizer on the flower bed or
vegetable garden.,If you own
some wooded land, the old
tree can be discarded there
for wildlife habitat. If you
have a chipper/shredder,
you can recycle your tree as
mulch. A container grown
tree can be planted in the
landscape to enjoy for years
to come.
Enjoy your Christmas tree,
whether natural or artificial,
and take time with friends
and family to remember and
celebrate the meaning of the
holiday.

This is the 3rd post of a series of posts about NPOI 2.0.
This time we’re going to see how easy it’s to copy cells, rows and even sheets. As a bonus you also get to see the process for workbook merging/combining.
There’s nothing much to say so we’re going directly distill some “codez” in front of you…
Copying Cells and Rows
Here’s what it gets to copy Cells and Rows:
using NPOI.HSSF.UserModel; using NPOI.SS.UserModel; using System.IO; namespace CopyRowsAndCellsInXls { class Program { static HSSFWorkbook hssfWorkbook; static void Main(string[] args) { InitializeWorkbook(); ISheet sheet = hssfWorkbook.GetSheetAt(0);
ICell cell = sheet.GetRow(4).GetCell(1);
cell.CopyCellTo(3); // Copy B5 to D5 IRow row = sheet.GetRow(3); row.CopyCell(0, 1); // Copy A4 to B4 sheet.CopyRow(0,1); // Copy row A to row B; row B will be moved to row C automatically
WriteToFile(); } static void WriteToFile() { //Write the workbook’s data stream to the root directory FileStream file = new FileStream(@"test.xls", FileMode.Create);
hssfWorkbook.Write(file);
file.Close(); } static void InitializeWorkbook() { using (var fs = File.OpenRead(@"Data\test.xls")) { hssfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fs); } } } }
The code above was taken from CopyRowsAndCellsInXls sample project.
Copying Sheets
Here’s what it gets to copy Sheets:
using NPOI.HSSF.UserModel; using System; using System.IO; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace CopySheet { class Program { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { // Excel worksheet merge/combine sample
// You will be prompted to select two Excel files/workbooks. test.xls will be created that combines/merges the sheets from those two workbooks. // Note: This example does not check for duplicate sheet names. Your test files must have different sheet names. OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog(); ofd.Filter = "Excel document (*.xls)|*.xlsx"; ofd.Title = "Select first Excel document";
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { HSSFWorkbook book1 = new HSSFWorkbook(new FileStream(ofd.FileName, FileMode.Open));
ofd.Title = "Select second Excel document";
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { HSSFWorkbook book2 = new HSSFWorkbook(new FileStream(ofd.FileName, FileMode.Open));
HSSFWorkbook merged = new HSSFWorkbook(); for (int i = 0; i < book1.NumberOfSheets; i++) { HSSFSheet sheet1 = book1.GetSheetAt(i) as HSSFSheet;
sheet1.CopyTo(merged, sheet1.SheetName, true, true); } for (int j = 0; j < book2.NumberOfSheets; j++) { HSSFSheet sheet2 = book2.GetSheetAt(j) as HSSFSheet;
sheet2.CopyTo(merged, sheet2.SheetName, true, true); }
merged.Write(new FileStream("merged.xls", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite)); } } } } }
The code above was taken from CopySheet sample project.

Find the value of the list that occurs most often
The list is given. Determine the most common value in it.
The program below searches for only one value. If two values occur at the same frequency in the list, only one of them will be defined.
from random import random a = [int(random()*5) for i in range(15)] print(a) a_set = set(a) most_common = None qty_most_common = 0 for item in a_set: qty = a.count(item) if qty > qty_most_common: qty_most_common = qty most_common = item print(most_common)
Example of execution:
[1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 2, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 0, 4] 2
With comments:
from random import random # Filling the list with random numbers from 0 to 4. # The quantity of items in the list is 15. # The list generator is used for filling. a = [int(random()*5) for i in range(15)] print(a) # The list is converted to a set. # In it all elements are unique. a_set = set(a) most_common = None # most common value qty_most_common = 0 # its quantity # the cycle bypasses the elements (items) of the set for item in a_set: # the qty variable is assigned the number # of occurrences of the item in the list qty = a.count(item) # If the qty is greater than the maximum, if qty > qty_most_common: qty_most_common = qty # then overwrite the maximum, most_common = item # remember the value of the element # output value print(most_common) | https://pythoner.name/en/most-common-item | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | refinedweb | 234 | 61.46 |
This is a C++ Program to Perform Edge Coloring of a Graph.
In graph theory, an edge coloring of a graph is an assignment of “colors” to the edges of the graph so that no two adjacent edges have the same color.
1. Any two edges connected to same vertex will be adjacent.
2. Take a vertex and give different colours, to all edges connected it, remove those edges from graph (or mark them as coloured).
3. Traverse one of its edges.
4. And repeat the step 2 with the new vertex.
Here is source code of the C++ Program to Perform Edge Coloring of a Graph. The program is successfully compiled and tested under Linux platform. The program output is also shown below.
#include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int n,e,i,j; vector<vector<pair<int,int> > > graph; vector<int> color; bool vis[100011]; void colour(int node) { queue<int> q; int c=0; set<int> already_colored; if(vis[node]) return; vis[node]=1; for(i=0;i<graph[node].size();i++) { if(color[graph[node][i].second]!=-1) { already_colored.insert(color[graph[node][i].second]); } } for(i=0;i<graph[node].size();i++) { if(!vis[graph[node][i].first]) { q.push(graph[node][i].first); } if(color[graph[node][i].second]==-1) { while(already_colored.find(c)!=already_colored.end()) c++; //cout<<graph[node][i].second+1<<" "<<c<<"\n"; color[graph[node][i].second]=c; already_colored.insert(c); c++; } } while(!q.empty()) { int temp=q.front(); q.pop(); colour(temp); } return; } int main() { int x,y; set<int> empty; cout<<"Enter number of vertices and edges respectively:"; cin>>n>>e; cout<<"\n"; graph.resize(n); // Number of Vertices. color.resize(e,-1); // Number of Edges. memset(vis,0,sizeof(vis)); for(i=0;i<e;i++) { cout<<"\nEnter edge vertices of edge "<<i+1<<" :"; cin>>x>>y; x--; y--; graph[x].push_back(make_pair(y,i)); graph[y].push_back(make_pair(x,i)); } colour(0); for(i=0;i<e;i++) { cout<<"Edge "<<i+1<<" is coloured "<<color[i]+1<<"\n"; } }
1. User must first enter the number of vertices, N, and then number of edges, E, in the graph.
2. It should be followed by E lines, denoting A and B, if there is an edge between A and B.
3. The graph is stored as adjacency list.
4. Then BFS is implemented using queue and colours are assigned to each edge.
5. Numbers have been used instead of colours, for simplicity of source code.
Case 1: Enter number of vertices and edges respectively:4 6 Enter edge vertices of edge 1 :1 2 Enter edge vertices of edge 2 :2 3 Enter edge vertices of edge 3 :3 4 Enter edge vertices of edge 4 :1 4 Enter edge vertices of edge 5 :2 4 Enter edge vertices of edge 6 :1 3 Edge 1 is coloured 1 Edge 2 is coloured 2 Edge 3 is coloured 1 Edge 4 is coloured 2 Edge 5 is coloured 3 Edge 6 is coloured 3

[Aug 15 2008: Click here for updated links and instructions.]
Finally, here is the often-requested and long-awaited source code for PrivBar. In the process of code review, I’ve made minor updates to the DLL – which is now at v1.0.2.1. [2005-10-27: Updated to remove dependency on VC/MFC DLLs.]
It’s originally based on the old “KBBar” IE toolband sample (KB 246234), and also incorporates some of Keith Brown’s “tokdumpsrv” token-dumping code. It’s now a VS.NET 2003 project, but it was originally created and built with earlier versions of Visual Studio. And, oh, it’s all C++.
It could probably use a lot more internal documentation, but here are some random notes:
The mechanism that captures the security info might at first seem to be more complex than necessary. There are a couple of classes that need to consume the security information. The public interface to that information is a class with all static methods. Behind it is a privately declared class in a .cpp file and a module-level singleton instantiation of that class, so that it gets instantiated exactly once when the DLL loads. The group name lookups for the token-dumping dialog can be time consuming, so I kick off a background thread to get them so as not to hold up the rendering of the Explorer/IE window. That requires proper synchronization of access to the string info, which requires proper one-time initialization of a CRITICAL_SECTION, etc. I decided that the easiest way to do that was with the singleton. It was thrown together pretty quickly, to be quite honest! If I spent more time on it, I might have come up with something else. It works, though, and as far as I can tell does not offer any exploitable surface area!
After you released 1.0.2 I can not get the new DLL to load. When I try to use regsvr32 I get the error message “LoadLibrary(“C:Non-AdminPrivBar.dll”) failed – The specified module could not be found. Any ideas?
Hi Aaron,
Great tool, I have been using the Privbar and MakemeAdmin for a while on my laptop, but just downloaded the brivbar zip at work and tried to register it, and I get the following error that I cannot seem to resolve:

I am a local admin on this system.
Its very strange.)
That worked great! Thanx!!
What’s the license? May I put it on a CD-ROM for distribution?
Can you build and make available x64 binaries for this? I’m feeling naked without it on my new win64 box.
Thanks,

Make sure you have installed a relatively recent Platform SDK and that its directories are in the include path, etc.

Hello, sorry for my english, i’m french!
I have downloaded the source of this project and i have the same errors that “Rade” has…
I don’t know if my SDK is up to date and i don’t know qhere i can add the good directories to the projet.
Please could you help me?
You can download the Platform SDK from msdn.microsoft.com/downloads, or get it as part of an MSDN Subscription.
In Visual Studio, choose Tools / Options, then look for VC++ Directories (actual location may vary based on Visual Studio version).
Hope this helps.

Hi Aaron,
We met a couple of times at a few Tech.Ed / IT.Forum events (US and EMEA). Now that IE 7 is officially out, will there be an update of PrivBar available? Otherwise what is the equivalent?
Thanks (contactable on blog > Feedback link) !
Hi, Desmond. I’ve used PrivBar on Vista without any problems. I haven’t tried it on XP+IE7 yet but I’m not aware of any issues. Have you tried it yet?
— Aaron
Aaron hello,
System: XP SP2 with IE7 RTM installed. Looks like PrivBar has been auto migrated from IE6 SP2 (on XP SP2) without reinstallation and it seems to function without any problems so far except:
a. it cannot be positioned on the same row as the new IE7 menu toolbar (where the back/forth buttons and the address bar sit). This was possible with IE6 previously. Perhaps it has got to do with the fact that this IE7 "toolbar" is permanently anchored and UNmovable even when the Lock the Toolbar option is disabled (default).
b. the font size of PrivBar seems to shrink or expand depending on the active tabs being selected.
Anything a user can do to fix these 2 annoyances?
Thanks again!
Hello Aaron,
Did you have time to check into my last feedback? Incidentally I did not manage to meet you in IT Forum 2006; were you there?
Thanks & rgds,
Desmond, sorry for the delay — I didn’t have an XP+IE7 system until recently. I think you are correct about the toolbar issue — the row with the back/forward buttons, address bar, etc., does not appear to be available for adding custom toolbars. Regarding the font size issue, I don’t see that happening. Can you provide repro steps?
Wish I could have been at IT Forum this year. Maybe next year? 🙂
— Aaron
Specifically what directories need to be included from the platform sdk? I have attempted both privbar and kbbar and get the same errors listed above. I have added several directories from src and include to the project and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Vaelek: You should install the Platform SDK using its installer, installing it to an appropriate system-wide location (the default is for it to go under %ProgramFiles%). If I remember correctly, if you have Visual Studio installed already, it will offer to add its directories to VS’ settings. If not, in Visual Studio 2005, choose Tools / Options, navigate to Projects and Solutions VC++ Directories. For each of the items in the “Show directories for” dropdown (particularly for the “Include” and “Libraries” folders), ensure that the appropriate Platform SDK folder is listed first. For Visual Studio .NET 2003, the same thing is in Tools / Options, navigate to Projects, VC++ Directories.
HTH

Hi Aaron
I am in the phase of converting my source code from vc++6.0 to vc++8.0. I am using IInputObjectSitePtr(same as KBBar) and when I compile it is throwing me the error. I am using Vista Business edition and I have updated latest SDK and included it in the directories. Please do advice.

Last Friday the last of the Windows Server 2008 Security Resource Kit finally went to press! This was
Keep this file in stdafx.h
#include <comdef.h>
And also make sure you have installed SDK and specify the path of SDK include Folder (Given Below)
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0Include
in Visual Studio 2008, choose Tools / Options, navigate to Projects and Solutions VC++ Directories .
Thats All.

I'm trying to open a text file with Scala, read the first line, then the second, then the third.
All samples I've found online want to read/buffer the entire file into a list or array and then access the individual lines from that construct.
import scala.io.Source;
object ScalaDemo {
def main(args: Array[String]) = {
val file = io.Source.fromFile("TextFile.txt");
// -----------------------------------------------
// read text from file, line by line, no iterator
// -----------------------------------------------
val first = file.getLines().mkString;
val second = file.getLines().mkString;
val third = file.getLines().mkString;
// Close the file
file.close;
println(first+"|"+second+"|"+third);
}
}
As stated in comments,
.mkString will fetch all the elements that the iterator would return and concatenate them in a single string.
The option of @Régis Jean-Gilles is probably the best if you already know that you always have at least three lines in the file.
Another option is to call
getLines() followed by
grouped(3) to get an iterator that groups elements into blocks of 3. A call to
next() will give you a list with at most three elements (it can have less if the iterator has only two elements left to return for example).
val ite = io.Source.fromFile("textfile.txt").getLines().grouped(3) //list with the first three elements, if any - //otherwise an empty list if the file is empty val list = if(ite.hasNext()) ite.next() else Nil
At least it does ensure that you won't have a
NoSuchElementException at runtime if there is less than 3 lines in the file. | https://codedump.io/share/TiRVEDHxogZ1/1/reading-a-text-file-in-scala-one-line-after-the-other-not-iterated | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | refinedweb | 256 | 64.91 |

how to check opengl version i m new for this....sry for my bad english...
The OpenGL version is specified in the Android.mk file (in the /jni directory); look for this line:
USE_OPENGL_ES_1_1 := false
if you want to use OpenGL ES 1.1 (instead of 2.0), just set the value of that variable to true

Thanks.....but now ndk-build successfully but now shown when i run the project...object is not display.
wht should i do???
Have you adjusted the kObjectScale (see in ImageTargets.cpp, global variables) ?
Sometimes it is just that the model is too small and you might need to increase that number to something big (e.g. 100).
i have done this:
kObjectScale=100.f
but no result....plz help me .....
Can you PM me the header file (.h) of your 3D model ?
ya give me your email id plz...

sry its very long file...so it is not possible to copy paste if any other option to upload file and then i can send it....
hello,
i'hv sent u msg plz check it...
Got it, thanks.
I was able to render the Tajmahal model; these are the code changes I made (starting from a fresh ImageTargets sample):
- add the include statement:
#include "TAJMAHALOBJ.h"
- increased kObjectScale to 100.f;
- in the renderFrame() function, I modified the rendering code as follows (since your model has no indices, no tex-coords and no normals):
glUseProgram(shaderProgramID); glVertexAttribPointer(vertexHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*) &TAJMAHALOBJVerts[0]); /* glVertexAttribPointer(normalHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*) &teapotNormals[0]); glVertexAttribPointer(textureCoordHandle, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*) &teapotTexCoords1i(texSampler2DHandle, 0); glUniformMatrix4fv(mvpMatrixHandle, 1, GL_FALSE, (GLfloat*)&modelViewProjection.data[0] ); /* glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, NUM_TEAPOT_OBJECT_INDEX, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const GLvoid*) &teapotIndices[0]); */ glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, TAJMAHALOBJNumVerts);
Can you try the same ?

Hi guys I tried to all steps but still getting error like:
Thanks your feedback AlessandroB
I actually did replace teapon on Image Target sample. But now I am trying to do in my project which have these errors . weird
Edit: I changed
USE_OPENGL_ES_1_1 := false
to
USE_OPENGL_ES_1_1 := true
and Now I 've got some errors when my application enter the ImageTarget activity.
Hi, the error in the image indicates that your Java code is unable to resolve the link to the C++ code;
this probably happens because you created your project by copying the code from ImageTargets and renaming the project, but probably you forgot to update certain references to the right name of your native module; for instance, the LOCAL_MODULE ( e.g. LOCAL_MODULE := ImageTargets) in your Android.mk should be the same as the one that appears in the Java code (see loadLibrary() and NATIVE_LIB_SAMPLE = "ImageTargets" in ImageTargets.java);
also, the C++ function names should reflect the name of the Java classes, as per JNI specification.
Have you checked this article, which explains these basic issues ?
Thanks AlessandroB
I changed
NATIVE_LIB_SAMPLE = "ImageTargets"; to NATIVE_LIB_SAMPLE = "AugmentedRealityTest";
and in android.mk changed LOCAL_MODULE := ImageTargets to LOCAL_MODULE := AugmentedRealityTest
I create a ndk builder like a sample
now
I would recommend to use ndk-build from the console (and avoid using the ndk-builder in Eclipse, as this kind of problems can emerge)
I would recommend to use ndk-build from the console (and avoid using the ndk-builder in Eclipse, as this kind of problems can emerge)
Thanks for responce AlessandroB,
You are totally right.
I changed codes that like (myPackage name is com.arel.augmentedrealitytest)
Java_com_qualcomm_QCARSamples_ImageTargets_ImageTargets_initApplicationNative
to:
Java_com_arel_augmentedrealitytest_ImageTargets_initApplicationNative
(myPackage name is com.arel.augmentedrealitytest)
and than got
" Failed to initilaze QCAR". error.
So I realized to forget to add some permisition in manifest file.
and changed code in ImageTargets.cpp
"getTexture", "(I)Lcom/qualcomm/QCARSamples/ImageTargets/Texture;");
build ndk again
Got no errors in log Thanks alot :)
you're welcome
Hi,
I am New in Android ..i am showing following error during Ndk-Build in Cygwin for Image Target Native Sample
SampleUtils::scalePoseMatrix(targetSize.data[0],targetSize.data[1],1.0f,
Can Anyone Help me to declere targetSize ?
You can declare targetSize as a QCAR::Vec2F.
Note: it looks like you are copy-pasting some code from one sample into another (e.g. from VideoPlayback into ImageTargets, or something similar); this is perfectly legitimate, but before doing that I would recommend you are well familiar with C++ programming (e.g. variable declaration), and when copying code from one place to another, you need to make sure you are also copying the relevant variable declarations and everything else you need to bring something consistently.
Final note: you are posting on a thread which is not really relevant to your issue; please create a new thread in the future; this thread was already answered and the discussion ws over. By reopening this thread with a basic programming question you are simply creating confusion in the thread itself.
Thanks.

I’ve recently made a solution where the customer requested to be able to bring up the calendar view in a DateTimePicker control by pressing on a specific button on the screen. The solution to that was really simple: Create a control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker and add a method called ShowCalendar() which I call to bring up the Calendar view.
public class DateTimePickerEx : DateTimePicker
{
[DllImport(“coredll.dll”)]
static extern int SendMessage(
IntPtr hWnd, uint uMsg, int wParam, int lParam);
const int WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201;
public void ShowCalendar() {
int x = Width – 10;
int y = Height / 2;
int lParam = x + y * 0x00010000;
SendMessage(Handle, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 1, lParam);
}
}

Hi Christian,
It’s Jenson here.
Hmm, sorry I’m quite new in coding and I found out that I’m always scared of coding something like this, which I have no knowledge or experience on:
SendMessage(Handle, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 1, lParam);
Are they native codes or something else?I don’t really know how to name them. I think you are either a C# guy, or you have background on Java, I’ve been trying hard to squeeze out time to learn Java too -.-“
Great blog and resources >.<" can learn a lot from here. One more thing, your photo is so cool XD
Hi Jenson,
Nice of you to stop by. And thanks for all the compliments.
WM_LBUTTONDOWN is the Windows Message that a control receives when it is clicked using the left mouse button. Windows programming can be quite cryptic to see at first.
Try reading up on Win32 Programming a little, you will see the bigger picture and you might also thank god for managed code!
As for my programming background, i mainly work with C# now but i’ve played with quite a few other technologies in the past. I never really got proficient with Java though. I believe that Java was a part of my Linux phase..
yeah, it’s always my pleasure to visit blogs, especially those who has helped me a lot. I’ll find myself rude if I stop by and say Hi to you =)
Well, there will be another project coming in pretty soon. I will be quite busy soon -.-“
And yeah, thanks God for the managed code, else I will have to remember all these WM_LBUTTONDOWN stuff, btw, the new project would use purely PDA for client side, so might be Windows CE 6.0 as they dont need the mobile functions.
Have a nice day! Take care!

scan – Looping in Theano¶
Guide¶
The scan functions provides the basic functionality needed to do loops in Theano. Scan comes with many whistles and bells, which we will introduce by way of examples.
Simple loop with accumulation: Computing
¶
Assume that, given k you want to get
A**k using a loop.
More precisely, if A is a tensor you want to compute
A**k elemwise. The python/numpy code might look like:
result = 1 for i in range(k): result = result * A
There are three things here that we need to handle: the initial value
assigned to
result, the accumulation of results in
result, and
the unchanging variable
A. Unchanging variables are passed to scan as
non_sequences. Initialization occurs in
outputs_info, and the accumulation
happens automatically.
The equivalent Theano code would be:

Let us go through the example line by line. What we did is first to
construct a function (using a lambda expression) that given
prior_result and
A returns
prior_result * A. The order of parameters is fixed by scan:
the output of the prior call to
fn (or the initial value, initially)
is the first parameter, followed by all non-sequences.
Next we initialize the output as a tensor with same shape and dtype as
A,
filled with ones. We give
A to scan as a non sequence parameter and
specify the number of steps
k to iterate over our lambda expression.
Scan returns a tuple containing our result (
result) and a
dictionary of updates (empty in this case). Note that the result
is not a matrix, but a 3D tensor containing the value of
A**k for
each step. We want the last value (after
k steps) so we compile
a function to return just that. Note that there is an optimization, that
at compile time will detect that you are using just the last value of the
result and ensure that scan does not store all the intermediate values
that are used. So do not worry if
A and
k are large.
Iterating over the first dimension of a tensor: Calculating a polynomial¶
In addition to looping a fixed number of times, scan can iterate over
the leading dimension of tensors (similar to Python’s
for x in a_list).
The tensor(s) to be looped over should be provided to scan using the
sequence keyword argument.
Here’s an example that builds a symbolic calculation of a polynomial from a list of its coefficients:
import numpy coefficients = theano.tensor.vector("coefficients") x = T.scalar("x") max_coefficients_supported = 10000 # Generate the components of the polynomial components, updates = theano.scan(fn=lambda coefficient, power, free_variable: coefficient * (free_variable ** power), outputs_info=None, sequences=[coefficients, theano.tensor.arange(max_coefficients_supported)], non_sequences=x) # Sum them up polynomial = components.sum() # Compile a function calculate_polynomial = theano.function(inputs=[coefficients, x], outputs=polynomial) # Test test_coefficients = numpy.asarray([1, 0, 2], dtype=numpy.float32) test_value = 3 print(calculate_polynomial(test_coefficients, test_value)) print(1.0 * (3 ** 0) + 0.0 * (3 ** 1) + 2.0 * (3 ** 2))
19.0 19.0
There are a few things to note here.
First, we calculate the polynomial by first generating each of the coefficients, and then summing them at the end. (We could also have accumulated them along the way, and then taken the last one, which would have been more memory-efficient, but this is an example.)
Second, there is no accumulation of results, we can set
outputs_info to
None. This indicates
to scan that it doesn’t need to pass the prior result to
fn.
The general order of function parameters to
fn is:
sequences (if any), prior result(s) (if needed), non-sequences (if any)
Third, there’s a handy trick used to simulate python’s
enumerate: simply include
theano.tensor.arange to the sequences.
Fourth, given multiple sequences of uneven lengths, scan will truncate to the shortest of them. This makes it safe to pass a very long arange, which we need to do for generality, since arange must have its length specified at creation time.
Simple accumulation into a scalar, ditching lambda¶
Although this example would seem almost self-explanatory, it stresses a
pitfall to be careful of: the initial output state that is supplied, that is
outputs_info, must be of a shape similar to that of the output variable
generated at each iteration and moreover, it must not involve an implicit
downcast of the latter.
import numpy as np import theano import theano.tensor as T up_to = T.iscalar("up_to") # define a named function, rather than using lambda def accumulate_by_adding(arange_val, sum_to_date): return sum_to_date + arange_val seq = T.arange(up_to) # An unauthorized implicit downcast from the dtype of 'seq', to that of # 'T.as_tensor_variable(0)' which is of dtype 'int8' by default would occur # if this instruction were to be used instead of the next one: # outputs_info = T.as_tensor_variable(0) outputs_info = T.as_tensor_variable(np.asarray(0, seq.dtype)) scan_result, scan_updates = theano.scan(fn=accumulate_by_adding, outputs_info=outputs_info, sequences=seq) triangular_sequence = theano.function(inputs=[up_to], outputs=scan_result) # test some_num = 15 print(triangular_sequence(some_num)) print([n * (n + 1) // 2 for n in range(some_num)])
[ 0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 66 78 91 105] [0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105]
Another simple example¶
Unlike some of the prior examples, this one is hard to reproduce except by using scan.
This takes a sequence of array indices, and values to place there, and a “model” output array (whose shape and dtype will be mimicked), and produces a sequence of arrays with the shape and dtype of the model, with all values set to zero except at the provided array indices.
location = T.imatrix("location") values = T.vector("values") output_model = T.matrix("output_model") def set_value_at_position(a_location, a_value, output_model): zeros = T.zeros_like(output_model) zeros_subtensor = zeros[a_location[0], a_location[1]] return T.set_subtensor(zeros_subtensor, a_value) result, updates = theano.scan(fn=set_value_at_position, outputs_info=None, sequences=[location, values], non_sequences=output_model) assign_values_at_positions = theano.function(inputs=[location, values, output_model], outputs=result) # test test_locations = numpy.asarray([[1, 1], [2, 3]], dtype=numpy.int32) test_values = numpy.asarray([42, 50], dtype=numpy.float32) test_output_model = numpy.zeros((5, 5), dtype=numpy.float32) print(assign_values_at_positions(test_locations, test_values, test_output_model))
[[[ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 42. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.]] [[ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 50. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.]]]
This demonstrates that you can introduce new Theano variables into a scan function.
Multiple outputs, several taps values - Recurrent Neural Network with Scan¶
The examples above showed simple uses of scan. However, scan also supports referring not only to the prior result and the current sequence value, but also looking back more than one step.
This is needed, for example, to implement a RNN using scan. Assume that our RNN is defined as follows :
Note that this network is far from a classical recurrent neural network and might be useless. The reason we defined as such is to better illustrate the features of scan.
In this case we have a sequence over which we need to iterate
u,
and two outputs
x and
y. To implement this with scan we first
construct a function that computes one iteration step :
def oneStep(u_tm4, u_t, x_tm3, x_tm1, y_tm1, W, W_in_1, W_in_2, W_feedback, W_out): x_t = T.tanh(theano.dot(x_tm1, W) + \ theano.dot(u_t, W_in_1) + \ theano.dot(u_tm4, W_in_2) + \ theano.dot(y_tm1, W_feedback)) y_t = theano.dot(x_tm3, W_out) return [x_t, y_t]
As naming convention for the variables we used
a_tmb to mean
a at
t-b and
a_tpb to be
a at
t+b.
Note the order in which the parameters are given, and in which the
result is returned. Try to respect chronological order among
the taps ( time slices of sequences or outputs) used. For scan is crucial only
for the variables representing the different time taps to be in the same order
as the one in which these taps are given. Also, not only taps should respect
an order, but also variables, since this is how scan figures out what should
be represented by what. Given that we have all
the Theano variables needed we construct our RNN as follows :
W = T.matrix() W_in_1 = T.matrix() W_in_2 = T.matrix() W_feedback = T.matrix() W_out = T.matrix() u = T.matrix() # it is a sequence of vectors x0 = T.matrix() # initial state of x has to be a matrix, since # it has to cover x[-3] y0 = T.vector() # y0 is just a vector since scan has only to provide # y[-1] ([x_vals, y_vals], updates) = theano.scan(fn=oneStep, sequences=dict(input=u, taps=[-4,-0]), outputs_info=[dict(initial=x0, taps=[-3,-1]), y0], non_sequences=[W, W_in_1, W_in_2, W_feedback, W_out], strict=True) # for second input y, scan adds -1 in output_taps by default
Now
x_vals and
y_vals are symbolic variables pointing to the
sequence of x and y values generated by iterating over u. The
sequence_taps,
outputs_taps give to scan information about what
slices are exactly needed. Note that if we want to use
x[t-k] we do
not need to also have
x[t-(k-1)], x[t-(k-2)],.., but when applying
the compiled function, the numpy array given to represent this sequence
should be large enough to cover this values. Assume that we compile the
above function, and we give as
u the array
uvals = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].
By abusing notations, scan will consider
uvals[0] as
u[-4], and
will start scanning from
uvals[4] towards the end.
Conditional ending of Scan¶
Scan can also be used as a
repeat-until block. In such a case scan
will stop when either the maximal number of iteration is reached, or the
provided condition evaluates to True.
For an example, we will compute all powers of two smaller then some provided
value
max_value.
def power_of_2(previous_power, max_value): return previous_power*2, theano.scan_module.until(previous_power*2 > max_value) max_value = T.scalar() values, _ = theano.scan(power_of_2, outputs_info = T.constant(1.), non_sequences = max_value, n_steps = 1024) f = theano.function([max_value], values) print(f(45))
[ 2. 4. 8. 16. 32. 64.]
As you can see, in order to terminate on condition, the only thing required
is that the inner function
power_of_2 to return also the condition
wrapped in the class
theano.scan_module.until. The condition has to be
expressed in terms of the arguments of the inner function (in this case
previous_power and
max_value).
As a rule, scan always expects the condition to be the last thing returned by the inner function, otherwise an error will be raised.
Reducing Scan’s memory usage¶
This section presents the
scan_checkpoints function. In short, this
function reduces the memory usage of scan (at the cost of more computation
time) by not keeping in memory all the intermediate time steps of the loop,
and recomputing them when computing the gradients. This function is therefore
only useful if you need to compute the gradient of the output of scan with
respect to its inputs, and shouldn’t be used otherwise.
Before going more into the details, here are its current limitations:
- It only works in the case where only the output of the last time step is needed, like when computing
A**kor in an encoder-decoder setup.
- It only accepts sequences of the same length.
- If
n_stepsis specified, it has the same value as the length of any sequences.
- It is singly-recurrent, meaning that only the previous time step can be used to compute the current one (i.e.
h[t]can only depend on
h[t-1]). In other words,
tapscan not be used in
sequencesand
outputs_info.
Often, in order to be able to compute the gradients through scan operations,
Theano needs to keep in memory some intermediate computations of scan. This
can sometimes use a prohibitively large amount of memory.
scan_checkpoints allows to discard some of those intermediate steps and
recompute them again when computing the gradients. Its
save_every_N argument
specifies the number time steps to do without storing the intermediate results.
For example,
save_every_N = 4 will reduce the memory usage by 4, while having
to recompute 3/4 time steps of the forward loop. Since the grad of scan is
about 6x slower than the forward, a ~20% slowdown is expected. Apart from the
save_every_N argument and the current limitations, the usage of this function
is similar to the classic
scan function.
Optimizing Scan’s performance¶
This section covers some ways to improve performance of a Theano function using Scan.
Minimizing Scan usage¶
Scan makes it possible to define simple and compact graphs that can do the same work as much larger and more complicated graphs. However, it comes with a significant overhead. As such, when performance is the objective, a good rule of thumb is to perform as much of the computation as possible outside of Scan. This may have the effect of increasing memory usage but can also reduce the overhead introduces by using Scan.
Explicitly passing inputs of the inner function to scan¶
It is possible, inside of Scan, to use variables previously defined outside of
the Scan without explicitly passing them as inputs to the Scan. However, it is
often more efficient to explicitly pass them as non-sequence inputs instead.
Section Using shared variables - Gibbs sampling provides an explanation for this and
section Using shared variables - the strict flag describes the strict flag, a tool that Scan
provides to help ensure that the inputs to the function inside Scan have all
been provided as explicit inputs to the
scan() function.
Deactivating garbage collecting in Scan¶
Deactivating the garbage collection for Scan can allow it to reuse memory between executions instead of always having to allocate new memory. This can improve performance at the cost of increased memory usage. By default, Scan reuses memory between iterations of the same execution but frees the memory after the last iteration.
There are two ways to achieve this, using the Theano flag
config.scan.allow_gc and setting it to False, or using the argument
allow_gc of the function theano.scan() and set it to False (when a value
is not provided for this argument, the value of the flag
config.scan.allow_gc is used).
Graph optimizations¶
This one is simple but still worth pointing out. Theano is able to automatically recognize and optimize many computation patterns. However, there are patterns that Theano doesn’t optimize because doing so would change the user interface (such as merging shared variables together into a single one, for instance). Additionally, Theano doesn’t catch every case that it could optimize and so it remains useful for performance that the user defines an efficient graph in the first place. This is also the case, and sometimes even more so, for the graph inside of Scan. This is because it will be executed many times for every execution of the Theano function that contains it.
The LSTM tutorial on
DeepLearning.net provides an example of an
optimization that Theano cannot perform. Instead of performing many matrix
multiplications between matrix
and each of the shared matrices
,
,
and
, the matrices
, are merged into a single shared matrix
and the graph
performs a single larger matrix multiplication between
and
. The resulting matrix is then sliced to obtain the results of that
the small individual matrix multiplications would have produced. This
optimization replaces several small and inefficient matrix multiplications by
a single larger one and thus improves performance at the cost of a potentially
higher memory usage.
reference¶
This module provides the Scan Op.
Scanning is a general form of recurrence, which can be used for looping. The idea is that you scan a function along some input sequence, producing an output at each time-step that can be seen (but not modified) by the function at the next time-step. (Technically, the function can see the previous K time-steps of your outputs and L time steps (from the past and future) of your inputs.
So for example,
sum() could be computed by scanning the
z+x_i
function over a list, given an initial state of
z=0.
Special cases:
- A reduce operation can be performed by returning only the last output of a
scan.
- A map operation can be performed by applying a function that ignores previous steps of the outputs.
Often a for-loop can be expressed as a
scan() operation, and
scan is
the closest that theano comes to looping. The advantage of using
scan
over for loops is that it allows the number of iterations to be a part of
the symbolic graph.
The Scan Op should typically be used by calling any of the following
functions:
scan(),
map(),
reduce(),
foldl(),
foldr().

theano.
scan_checkpoints(fn, sequences=[], outputs_info=None, non_sequences=[], name='checkpointscan_fn', n_steps=None, save_every_N=10, padding=True)[source]¶
Scan function that uses less memory, but is more restrictive.
In
scan(), if you compute the gradient of the output with respect to the input, you will have to store the intermediate results at each time step, which can be prohibitively huge. This function allows to do
save_every_Nsteps of forward computations without storing the intermediate results, and to recompute them during the gradient computation.
Notes
Current assumptions:
- Every sequence has the same length.
- If
n_stepsis specified, it has the same value as the length of any sequence.
- The value of
save_every_Ndivides the number of steps the scan will run without remainder.
- Only singly-recurrent and non-recurrent outputs are used. No multiple recurrences.
- Only the last timestep of any output will ever be used. | http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/library/scan.html | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | refinedweb | 3,229 | 55.74 |

Would people on this list see value in a XRD/YADIS validator? If syndication is any guide, once the "unwashed masses" start adopting this, I see plenty of opportunities for errors: non-memorable namespace names, MiXeDcAsE Element names, etc. If there is value, what I would find helpful is suggestions in the form of test cases: documents which either are asserted to be valid, or documents which contain specified conditions that should produce a specific error or a warning. An example of a warnings could be "unknown Type": in theory, any URI is valid, but unknown Types may indicate a typo. Checks can also be made for the presence of elements such as openid:Delegate when Type is other than. Given such tests, I can quickly build this logic on top of the foundation that is the Feed Validator: it already has logic for what constitutes a valid URI (or IRI, for that matter). - Sam Ruby | http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.openid.general/3641 | crawl-001 | refinedweb | 209 | 52.7 |
Deploying 3rdparty Qt Quick plugins on macOS
Hello,
I am trying to build a macOS application which uses KDE's Kirigami framework for its UI. On Linux I am able to install Kirigami to a standard location so that Qt could automatically locate it. On macOS I use macdeployqt, but it only copies Qt's own Qt Quick libs (e.g. QQC2), so I have to script cp/ln/install_name_tool.
Is it possible to make macdeployqt add Kirigami automatically? Or, alternatively, can I use CMake or some macOS tools to do the job?
- AndyS Moderators
Hi @Ilya-Bizyaev,
Provided that your QML imports it and you have your QML2_IMPORT_PATH environment variable set to include the location of the import then macdeployqt should take care of this for you and pick it up as a result. This way macdeployqt can see that it requires it and will deploy it with the other plugins.
Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately, macdeployqt does not seem to take QML2_IMPORT_PATH into account. I managed to make it find Kirigami by symlinking from inside Qt's qml folder to the library's location, but it feels hacky.
Hi,
There's the
-qmldiroption of
macdeployqtthat you can use but AFAIK, it only takes one path currently.
Thanks for the reply :)
According to the macdeployqt manual:
-qmldir=<path> : Scan for QML imports in the given path.
This argument is used to specify the application's qml source directory to be scanned for
import *statements. It can accept multiple paths, but these are not used as library search paths.
To specify a library search path, macdeployqt would need to pass it as an
-importPathargument to qmlimportscanner, but it only passes Qt's default library location:
As a hack one can create a link to the custom location from inside the Qt installation, and that's what I use for now, but I think there has to be a better way.
A feature to add to
macdeployqt: an option to give additional import paths.
Should I open a feature request?
If you don't find any yet, yes. If you can provide a minimal buildable sample application that shows that behaviour it would be great.
Out of curiosity, how did you got Kirigami for macOS ?
@SGaist I reported the issue as and opened a revision at
Kirigami works just right on macOS, here are some screenshots:
The app is on its early stages, though.
Thanks for the submission !
One small fix to the commit message to do :)
Starting from Qt 5.13, there will be a
-qmlimportmacdeployqt option to specify additional QML module search directories.
If needed earlier,
macdeployqtcan be manually built from the dev branch. | https://forum.qt.io/topic/95157/deploying-3rdparty-qt-quick-plugins-on-macos/13 | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | refinedweb | 446 | 63.09 |
I am dynamically generating the SVG in my
<x-pizza>pizza-building Polymer. And for the life of me, I don't know why. But it may have been a lucky guess.
For my fist pass, the shapes were all circles:
The pizza was effectively inlined in the Polymer element's shadow DOM with a bit of JavaScript:
For now, I am going to leave that in place in my custom element. Instead, I will concentrate on loading an external SVG file for the toppings and adding them to the SVG.For now, I am going to leave that in place in my custom element. Instead, I will concentrate on loading an external SVG file for the toppings and adding them to the SVG.
_updateGraphic: function() { this.$['pizza-graphic'].innerHTML = '' + '<circle cx="150" cy="150" r="150" fill="tan" />' + '<circle cx="150" cy="150" r="140" fill="darkred" />' + '<circle cx="150" cy="150" r="135" fill="lightyellow" />'; this._addWholeToppings(); this._addFirstHalfToppings(); this._addSecondHalfToppings(); },
I thought I had the hang of saving SVG from Inkscape, but when I create a 10x10 pixel pepperoni, set the document properties so that the page is 10x10 as well and save:
I always get a matrix transform in the resulting plain (not Inkscape formatted) SVG file:
>This may not be a huge deal—this is vector graphic manipulation, after all. Still, I bothers me that my SVG is being translated -1042.3622 pixels and then run through that transform matrix. Heh, I realize that I trying to get pixel perfection in a scalable vector graphic, which is just silly. So I press on for now (but I will revisit at some point).
Anyhow, I copy said
pepperoni.svginto my Polymer library's asset directory, then try to use it in my Dart code thusly:
Which does not work at all—there is no matching constructor. Eventually, I realize thatWhich does not work at all—there is no matching constructor. Eventually, I realize that
_svgPepperoni() { var svgImage = new ImageElement(src: '/assets/svg_example/pepperoni.svg'); return new GElement() ..append(svgImage); }
ImageElementis different than an
<img>element. In order to load an SVG as an image, I need the XLINK namespace, which requires the
setAttributeNSmethod:
(the commented out, non-namespace version does not work)(the commented out, non-namespace version does not work)
_svgPepperoni() { var svgImage = new ImageElement() ..setAttributeNS('', 'href', '/assets/svg_example/pepperoni.svg') // ..setAttribute('href', '/assets/svg_example/pepperoni.svg') ..setAttribute('width', '10') ..setAttribute('height', '10'); return new GElement() ..append(svgImage); }
That's pretty ugly, but it works:
Ugh. This SVG stuff sure is a pain. I am unsure if Dart has any facilities for making this easier. The current approach is very much a JavaScript-y approach and it feels like it. It is hacky and of the barely-holding-duct-tape variety. Still, it does work, which is a start.
Day #66
Great, please don't give up! We need to arrive to an usable polymer svg interactive element.
About the issues you rise above:
1 - Always getting a matrix transform in svg files : yes, I forgot to tell you that you need to delete all layers in Inkscape. Layers are useful for complex graphics, but not needed for simple web components like a button. If you remove all layers and just draw in the "root" page, the transform will disappear from the svg file. You just need to go to the "Layer" menu, and choose to open the "Layers..." dialog. Here you will see a list of all layers (like photoshop), and you just need to delete the default one. Inkscape create a default layer for you when you create a new document, but you don't need it.
If you have some drawings already in the layer you can cut&paste those from Layer 1 to root, and then delete Layer 1.
You can check anytime if you are drawing on the "root" layer looking at the current layer switch in the lower status bar of the Inkscape window, where you will read "(root)". Create a new document, delete the Layer 1 and draw your circles directly on the root layer. Then resize page to content as usual, and save. You will find that no transform has been added.
NOTE: Anyway it's not that the transformation added with the layers changes the position of your path object. The transformation is perfectly neutral to the original object. In other words: the original path object (non transformed) is EQUAL to the saved path object with the saved transformation matrix applied to it. The result of object+transformation is identical to the original object. Only if you delete the transformation then the saved path object will result translated in a different position that the correct one. If you just use the svg file as is, it will just work.
2 - SVG object in Dart: The Dart API has classes for managing SVG. For example:
and:
Here is the function I use to load an svg file in Dart:
//LOAD AN SVG FILE AND MAKE IT A BUTTON
void load_svg_button(String svg_file_name) {
String svg_content HttpRequest.getString(basedir(svg_file_name));
SvgElement new_button = new SvgElement.svg(svg_content);
String svg_width = new_button.attributes['width'];
String svg_height = new_button.attributes['height'];
// Some svgs use "pt" units which are not properly parsed
svg_width = svg_width.replaceAll("pt", '');
svg_height = svg_height.replaceAll("pt", '');
num width = 50;
num height = 50;
new_button.attributes['width'] = '$height';
new_button.attributes['height'] = '$width';
new_button.attributes['viewBox'] = '0 0 $svg_width $svg_height';

Oh well, I searched the POSIX function list *at least* twice and simply didn't see this function. I hope I didn't miss another one. This will be rectified in the next test release which I'm going to upload in a sec. > Will LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE designate the locale -f or locale -n locale? Neither. LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE is a per process locale and per POSIX the default is to set it to the "C" locale at process startup. A POSIX compliant application has to call setlocale(3) to change its locale process-wide. locale -f or locale -n are really only fetching information from Windows when you call the tool, but the underlying WIndows functions are never directly used by the Cygwin DLL. You *can* use them to prime your locale-specific environment variables, but that's all. Cygwin applications default to the "C" locale, or to the locales set via the LANG/LC_xxx variables *if* the application calls setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL); > locale -s and locale -u appear to return the Windows default product > locale e.g. en_US, regardless of system default regional settings. Not quite. Let's have a look into the locale(1) options: -i returns the current "input" language. That's what you set in the region&language settings and by choosing a locale for input in the keyboard layout control. This is often what you really want, but we only found out about this a couple of days ago when we had a system with -u persisting to return the wrong info. -s and -u are a bit tricky. Both depend on the installed language packs which you can download from Microsoft. If you didn't install another language pack, then the *only* language ever returned by -s and -u will be the language you installed the OS with in the first place. Download langauge packs and this gets settable, the -s option only by an admin, of course. -f is equivalent to the langauge you set the "Format" settings to, i. e. the settings for date, time, monetary... And last but not least -n is the locale used for applications which are not UNICODE capable. This affects the Windows API but it's not used by Cygwin.

RIO DE JANEIRO (ICIS)--Bio-based products could make up 8% of chemical sales by 2012, with their share continuing to grow in the future, a consultant said at an industry conference on Monday.
Sales should increase as crude oil prices continue to rise, said Jorge Fergie, a partner at the US-based consultancy McKinsey & Co.
Fergie was speaking to delegates during a seminar at the annual Latin American Petrochemical Association (APLA) meeting in ?xml:namespace>
In addition, governments will adopt policies to increase self-sufficiency in energy, which would increase demand for bio-based products, Fergie said.
Consumer preference could also encourage companies to produce more bio-based products, Fergie said. Thirty percent of consumers are willing to pay a 10% premium for bio-based products, he said.
Bio-plastics are niche products, and producers should price them for value instead of cost, Fergie said.
There is a need for producers to attack some of the misconceptions about bio-plastics, he said.
For example, some consumers are concerned about bio-plastics being mixed with other plastics at recycling centres, he said.
This is not a concern for polyethylene (PE) produced from ethanol-based ethylene, he said.
The APLA meeting runs through 9 November. | http://www.icis.com/Articles/2010/11/08/9408340/apla-10-bio-based-products-to-make-up-8-of-chem-sales-in.html | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | refinedweb | 212 | 53.1 |

ZF-3821: Zend_InfoCard does not interpret namespace prefixes from the XML token
Description
Zend_InfoCard seems to be expecting the enc: prefix for the namespace, even when the submitted XML token assigns a different prefix (such as xenc: ) to that namespace. This causes Zend_InfoCard to fail to parse a submitted information card token from card selectors other than Microsoft Cardspace.
Posted by Arthur Frankel (afrankel) on 2010-07-09T14:56:24.000+0000
Since there are several other card selectors available has there been any movement on this fix? Besides the enc (to xenc) issue there are others related to the namespaces.
Posted by Pádraic Brady (padraic) on 2011-08-13T23:18:19.000+0000
Fixed in r24374 and ZF2 hotfix branch.
Sorry for the long wait! It only needed a quick patch to register the namespace for XPath so the default prefix was not relied on. | http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3821?page=com.atlassian.streams.streams-jira-plugin:activity-stream-issue-tab | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | refinedweb | 147 | 64.81 |
This is the beginning of a series that will provide an easily digestible cheat sheet for the most often-used and favorited JavaScript methods. In the first part of the series we will focus on array methods.
These methods are actually properties of the Array object itself and are accessed using the following keywords.
In this example we will be creating simple flash errors for an application that allows users to create new heroines. If a parameter for heroine creation is not met, a flash error is displayed.
In the controller (under create, or whatever form you want the error messages to appear on):
if @heroine.valid?
redirect_to @heroineelseflash[:error] = @heroine.errors.full_messagesredirect_to new_heroine_pathend
Implemented example:
def create
@heroine = Heroine.create(heroine_params)if @heroine.valid?redirect_to @heroineelseflash[:error] = @heroine.errors.full_messagesredirect_to new_heroine_pathendend
In your ERB file (new or edit, wherever you want the error messages to appear on) add the flash errors:
<% if flash[:error] %><% flash[:error].each do |e| %><%= e %><% end %><% end %>
It’s the seemingly simplest yet most difficult to wrangle concept in styling. How to center your divs, headers, text, whathaveyou. What should be a no-brainer exercise for most developers usually turns out to be a surprisingly frustrating endeavor. In this article I will try to create a simple to read cheatsheet for centering in CSS so that you may never have to deal with the frustration of uncentered items again.
First, it must be known that in HTML there are two types of elements, in-line, and block-level. In-line elements such as text, as their name suggests, can be placed in-line and do not create a new line when implemented. This means you can have multiple headers on the same line next to each other. Block-level elements, on the contrary, will create a brand new line and take up the full width of the page. …
Last year Instagram unveiled their latest product offering aimed at entering the lucrative online shopping industry. Instagram Shopping allows sellers to link directly to their own product pages via instagram links as well as providing the option for a proprietary in-app product page and checkout system. With Instagrams estimated one billion users and highly consumer-oriented culture, this platform has been received with great interest by both shoppers and sellers alike.
Instagram/Facebook’s documentation, while comprehensive, can be very disorganized at times and the multitude of requirements asked of sellers that span both the Instagram and Facebook platform can be a landmine to navigate. In this article I will walk you through setting up a selling profile on your account in as simple terms as possible. No more getting confused as to what exactly you need to do and where. …

The main mechanisms of Google Analytics work by inserting a unique ‘tracking code’ into the source of the website that is to be analyzed. This code is tied to a Google account and will compile reports based on user interactions with the site or advertisement. Such a report will use metrics that are particular to Google Analytics. In our practicum presentation we mentioned some of the most widely seen metrics and what they mean.
Page views measure the total number of times a page has been loaded in a browser, regardless of how many individuals are doing the loading. This means that page views do not take into account unique visitors, another metric used by Google, which counts how many distinct individuals view a page. When a visitor opens a page in your website they have started a session, or, a sequence of interactions with your website that begin when you open enter the site and ends when you exit it. These interactions that constitute a session can be anything from a page view to a transaction to an event, which is defined by Google as any kind of interaction with your website that can be measured beyond a simple page view. Examples of events would be the instance when a visitor watches an embedded video or clicks on a download link. Finally, the most basic user interaction that Google measures is a click. Clicks are a measure of how many times a user has clicked on an advertisement regardless of how long their session lasts once they have entered the page that the advertisement leads to. …
The levels of ocean surfaces (henceforth referred to as the ‘sea level’) have been observed to be rising around the world. While sea levels are known to fluctuate due to natural processes, researchers have found a steady increase in the sea level during the past 100 years that is anomylous to historical natural fluctuations. This project will use historical monthly sea level data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association in order to estimate the rate of sea level rise. Because sea levels are known to vary throughout localities, this project will focus on the sea level around New York City. …

Searchlight API¶
Searchlight’s API adds authentication and Role Based Access Control in front of Elasticsearch’s query API.
Authentication¶
Searchlight, like other OpenStack APIs, depends on Keystone and the
OpenStack Identity API to handle authentication. You must obtain an
authentication token from Keystone and pass it to Searchlight in API requests
with the
X-Auth-Token header.
See Keystone Authentication for more information on integrating with Keystone.
Using v1¶
For the purposes of examples, assume a Searchlight server is running
at the URL on HTTP port 80. All
queries are assumed to include an
X-Auth-Token header. Where request
bodies are present, it is assumed that an appropriate
Content-Type
header is present (usually
application/json).
Searches use Elasticsearch’s query DSL.
Elasticsearch stores each ‘document’ in an ‘index’, which has one or more
‘types’. Searchlight’s indexing service stores all resource
types in their own document type, grouped by service into indices. For
instance, the
OS::Glance::Image and
OS::Glance::Metadef types both
reside in the
searchlight index.
type is unique to a resource type.
Document access is defined by each document type, for instance for glance images:
If the current user is the resource owner OR
If the resource is marked public
Some resources may have additional rules. Administrators have access to all resources,
though by default searches are restricted to the current tenant unless
all_projects
is set in the search request body.
Querying available plugins¶
Searchlight indexes OpenStack resources as defined by installed plugins. In general, a plugin maps directly to an OpenStack resource type. For instance, a plugin might index nova instances, or glance images. There may be multiple plugins related to a given OpenStack project (an example being glance images and metadefs).
A given deployment may not necessarily expose all available plugins.
Searchlight provides a REST endpoint to request a list of installed plugins.
A
GET request to
might yield:
{ "plugins": [ { "type": "OS::Glance::Image", "alias-searching": "searchlight-search" "alias-indexing": "searchlight-listener" }, { "type": "OS::Glance::Metadef", "alias-searching": "searchlight-search" "alias-indexing": "searchlight-listener" } ] }
This response shows the plugin information associated with the Glance image and metadef resources.
type: the resource group, which is used as the document type in Elasticsearch.
alias-searching: the Elasticsearch alias used for querying.
alias-indexing: the Elasticsearch alias used for indexing.
If desired, all indexed Glance images can be queried directly from Elasticsearch, rather than using Searchlight. Assuming an Elasticsearch server running on localhost, the following request can be made:
curl
Running a search¶
The simplest query is to ask for everything we have access to. We issue a
POST request to with the
following body:
{ "query": { "match_all": {} } }
The data is returned as a JSON-encoded mapping from Elasticsearch:
{ "_shards": { "failed": 0, "successful": 2, "total": 2 }, "hits": { "hits": [ { "_id": "76580e9d-f83d-49d8-b428-1fb90c5d8e95", "_index": "searchlight", "_type": "OS::Glance::Image" "_score": 1.0, "_source": { "id": "76580e9d-f83d-49d8-b428-1fb90c5d8e95", "members": [], "name": "cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec", "owner": "d95b27da6e9f4acc9a8031918e443e04", "visibility": "public", ... } }, { "_id": "OS::Software::DBMS", "_index": "searchlight", "_type": "metadef", "_score": 1.0, "_source": { "description": "A database is an ...", "display_name": "Database Software", "namespace": "OS::Software::DBMS", "objects": [ { "description": "PostgreSQL, often simply 'Postgres' ...", "name": "PostgreSQL", "properties": [ { "default": "5432", "description": "Specifies the TCP/IP port...", "property": "sw_database_postgresql_listen_port", ... }, ... ] } ], "tags": [ { "name": "Database" }, ] } }, ... ], "max_score": 1.0, "total": 8 }, "timed_out": false, "took": 1 }
Each
hit is a document in Elasticsearch, representing an OpenStack
resource. the fields in the root of each hit are:
_id
Uniquely identifies the resource within its OpenStack context (for instance, Glance images use their GUID).
_index
The service to which the resource belongs (e.g.
searchlight).
_type
The document type within the service (e.g.
image,
metadef)
_score
Where applicable the relevancy of a given
hit. By default, the field upon which results are sorted.
_source
The document originally indexed. The
_sourceis a map, where each key is a
fieldwhose value may be a scalar value, a list, a nested object or a list of nested objects.
More example searches¶
Results are shown here only where it would help illustrate the example. The
query parameter supports anything that Elasticsearch exposes via its
query DSL. There are normally multiple ways to represent the same query,
often with some subtle differences, but some common examples are shown here.
Administrators - search all resources¶
By default, all users see search results restricted by access control; in practice, this is a combination of resources belonging to the user’s current tenant/project, and any fields that are restricted to administrators.
Administrators also have the option to view all resources, by passing
all_projects in the search request body. For instance, a
POST to:
{ "query": { "match_all": {} }, "all_projects": true }
Restricting document index or type¶
To restrict a query to Glance image and metadef information only (both
index and
type can be arrays or a single string):
{ "query": { "match_all": {} }, "type": ["OS::Glance::Image", "OS::Glance::Metadef"] }
If
index or
type are not provided they will default to covering as
wide a range of results as possible. Be aware that it is possible to specify
combinations of
index and
type that can return no results. In general
type is preferred since
type is unique to a resource.
Retrieving an item by id¶
To retrieve a resource by its OpenStack ID (e.g. a glance image), we can use Elasticsearch’s term query:
{ "index": "searchlight", "query": { "term": { "id": "79fa243d-e05d-4848-8a9e-27a01e83ceba" } } }
Limiting and paging results¶
Elasticsearch (and Searchlight) support paging through the
size and
from parameters (Searchlight also accepts
limit and
offset respectively as synonyms).
from is
zero-indexed. If
size is zero, no results will be returned. This
can be useful for retrieving the total number of hits for a query without
being interested in the results themselves, or for aggregations:
{ "query": {"match_all": {}}, "size": 0 }
Gives:
{ "hits": { "hits": [], "max_score": 0.0, "total": 40 } }
Limiting the fields returned¶
To restrict the
source to include only certain fields using Elasticsearch’s
source filtering:
{ "type": "OS::Glance::Image", "_source": ["name", "size"] }
Gives:
{ "_shards": { "failed": 0, "successful": 1, "total": 1 }, "hits": { "hits": [ { "_id": "76580e9d-f83d-49d8-b428-1fb90c5d8e95", "_index": "searchlight", "_score": 1.0, "_source": { "name": "cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec", "size": 3723817 }, "_type": "OS::Glance::Image" }, ... ], "max_score": 1.0, "total": 4 }, "timed_out": false, "took": 1 }
Versioning¶
Internally an always-incrementing value is stored with search results to
ensure that out of order notifications don’t lead to inconsistencies with
search results. Normally this value is not exposed in search results, but
including a search parameter
version: true in requests will result in
a field named
_version (note the underscore) being present in each result:
{ "index": "searchlight", "query": {"match_all": {}}, "version": true } { "hits": { "hits": [ { "_id": "76580e9d-f83d-49d8-b428-1fb90c5d8e95", "_index": "searchlight", "_version": 462198730000000000, .... }, .... ] }, ... }
Sorting¶
Elasticsearch allows sorting by single or multiple fields. See Elasticsearch’s sort documentation for details of the allowed syntax. Sort fields can be included as a top level field in the request body. For instance:
{ "query": {"match_all": {}}, "sort": {"name": "desc"} }
You will see in the search results a
sort field for each result:
... { "_id": "7741fbcc-3fa9-4ace-adff-593304b6e629", "_index": "glance", "_score": null, "_source": { "name": "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec", "size": 25165824 }, "_type": "image", "sort": [ "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec", 25165824 ] }, ...
Wildcards¶
Elasticsearch supports regular expression searches but often wildcards within
query_string elements are sufficient, using
* to represent one or more
characters or
? to represent a single character. Note that starting a
search term with a wildcard can lead to extremely slow queries:
{ "query": { "query_string": { "query": "name: ubun?u AND mysql_version: 5.*" } } }
Highlighting¶
A common requirement is to highlight search terms in results:
{ "type": "OS::Glance::Metadef", "query": { "query_string": { "query": "database" } }, "_source": ["namespace", "description"], "highlight": { "fields": { "namespace": {}, "description": {} } } }
Results:
{ "hits": { "hits": [ { "_id": "OS::Software::DBMS", "_index": "searchlight", "_type": "OS::Glance::Metadef", "_score": 0.56079304, "_source": { "description": "A database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically organized to model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring information. Database management systems are computer software applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data. ()" }, "highlight": { "description": [ "A <em>database</em> is an organized collection of data. The data is typically organized to model aspects of", " reality in a way that supports processes requiring information. <em>Database</em> management systems are", " computer software applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the <em>database</em> itself", " to capture and analyze data. (<em>Database</em>)" ], "display_name": [ "<em>Database</em> Software" ] } } ], "max_score": 0.56079304, "total": 1 }, "timed_out": false, "took": 3 }
Faceting¶
Searchlight can provide a list of field names and values present for those fields for each registered resource type. Exactly which fields are returned and whether values are listed is up to each plugin. Some fields or values may only be listed for administrative users. For some string fields, ‘facet_field’ may be included in the result and can be used to do an exact term match against facet options.
To list supported facets, issue a
GET to:
{ "OS::Glance::Image": [ { "name": "status", "type": "string" }, { "name": "created_at", "type": "date" }, { "name": "virtual_size", "type": "long" }, { "name": "name", "type": "string", "facet_field": "name.raw" }, ... ], "OS::Glance::Metadef": [ { "name": "objects.description", "type": "string" }, { "name": "objects.properties.description", "type": "string", "nested": true }, ... ], "OS::Nova::Server": [ { "name": "status", "options": [ { "doc_count": 1, "key": "ACTIVE" } ], "type": "string" }, { "name": "OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:host", "type": "string" }, { "name": "name", "type": "string", "facet_field": "name.raw" }, { "name": "image.id", "type": "string", "nested": false }, { "name": "OS-EXT-AZ:availability_zone", "options": [ { "doc_count": 1, "key": "nova" } ], "type": "string" } ... ] }
Facet fields containing the ‘nested’ (boolean) attribute indicate that the field mapping type is either ‘nested’ or ‘object’. This can influence how a field should be queried. In general ‘object’ types are queried as any other field; ‘nested’ types require some additional complexity.
It’s also possible to request facets for a particular type by adding a
type query parameter. For instance, a
GET to:
{ "OS::Nova::Server": [ { "name": "status", "options": [ { "doc_count": 1, "key": "ACTIVE" } ], "type": "string" }, ... ] }
As with searches, administrators are able to request facet terms for all
projects/tenants. By default, facet terms are limited to the currently scoped
project; adding
all_projects=true as a query parameter removes the
restriction.
It is possible to limit the number of
options returned for fields that
support facet terms.
limit_terms restricts the number of terms (sorted
in order of descending frequency). A value of 0 indicates no limit, and is the
default.
It is possible to not return any options for facets. By default all options
are returned for fields that support facet terms. Adding
exclude_options=true as a query parameter will return only the facet
field and not any of the options. Using this option will avoid an aggregation
query being performed on Elasticsearch, providing a performance boost.
Aggregations¶
Faceting (above) is a more general form of Elasticsearch aggregation. Faceting is an example of ‘bucketing’; ‘metrics’ includes functions like min, max, percentiles.
Aggregations will be based on the
query provided as well as restrictions
on resource type and any RBAC filters.
To include aggregations in a query, include
aggs or
aggregations in
a search request body.
"size": 0 prevents Elasticsearch
returning any results, just the aggregation, though it is valid to retrieve
both search results and aggregations from a single query. For example:
{ "query": {"match_all": {}}, "size": 0, "aggregations": { "names": { "terms": {"field": "name"} }, "earliest": { "min": {"field": "created_at"} } } }
Response:
{ "hits": {"total": 2, "max_score": 0.0, "hits": []}, "aggregations": { "names": { "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0, "sum_other_doc_count": 0, "buckets": [ {"key": "for_instance1", "doc_count": 2}, {"key": "instance1", "doc_count": 1} ] }, "earliest": { "value": 1459946898000.0, "value_as_string": "2016-04-06T12:48:18.000Z" } } }
Note that for some aggregations
value_as_string may be more useful than
value - for example, the
earliest aggregation in the example operates
on a date field whose internal representation is a timestamp.
The global aggregation type is not allowed because unlike other aggregation types it operates outside the search query scope.
Freeform queries¶
Elasticsearch has a flexible query parser that can be used for many kinds of search terms: the query_string operator.
Some things to bear in mind about using
query_string (see the documentation
for full options):
A query term may be prefixed with a
fieldname (as seen below). If it is not, by default the entire document will be searched for the term.
The default operator between terms is
OR
By default, query terms are case insensitive
For instance, the following will look for images with a restriction on name and a range query on size:
{ "query": { "query_string": { "query": "name: (Ubuntu OR Fedora) AND size: [3000000 TO 5000000]" } } }
Within the query string query, you may perform a number of interesting queries. Below are some examples.
Phrases¶
\"i love openstack\"
By default, each word you type will be searched for individually. You may also try to search an exact phrase by using quotes (“my phrase”) to surround a phrase. The search service may allow a certain amount of phrase slop - meaning that if you have some words out of order in the phrase it may still match.
Wildcards¶
python3.? 10.0.0.* 172.*.4.*
By default, each word you type will match full words only. You may also use wildcards to match parts of words. Wildcard searches can be run on individual terms, using ? to replace a single character, and * to replace zero or more character. ‘demo’ will match the full word ‘demo’ only. However, ‘de*’ will match anything that starts with ‘de’, such as ‘demo_1’. ‘de*1’ will match anything that starts with ‘de’ and ends with ‘1’.
Note
Wildcard queries place a heavy burden on the search service and may perform poorly.
Term Operators¶
+apache -apache web +(apache OR python)
Add a ‘+’ or a ‘-‘ to indicate terms that must or must not appear. For example ‘+python -apache web’ would find everything that has ‘python’ does NOT have ‘apache’ and should have ‘web’. This may also be used with grouping. For example, ‘web -(apache AND python)’ would find anything with ‘web’, but does not have either ‘apache’ or ‘python’.
Boolean Operators¶
python AND apache nginx OR apache web && !apache
You can separate search terms and groups with AND, OR and NOT (also written &&, || and !). For example, ‘python OR javascript’ will find anything with either term (OR is used by default, so does not need to be specified). However, ‘python AND javascript’ will find things that only have both terms. You can do this with as many terms as you’d like (e.g. ‘django AND javascript AND !unholy’). It is important to use all caps or the alternate syntax (&&, ||), because ‘and’ will be treated as another search term, but ‘AND’ will be treated as a logical operator.
Grouping¶
python AND (2.7 OR 3.4) web && (apache !python)
Use parenthesis to group different aspects of your query to form sub-queries. For example, ‘web OR (python AND apache)’ will return anything that either has ‘web’ OR has both ‘python’ AND ‘apache’.
Facets¶
name:cirros name:cirros && protected:false
You may decide to only look in a certain field for a search term by setting a specific facet. This is accomplished by either selecting a facet from the drop down or by typing the facet manually. For example, if you are looking for an image, you may choose to only look at the name field by adding ‘name:foo’. You may group facets and use logical operators.
Range Queries¶
size:[1 TO 1000] size:[1 TO *] size:>=1 size:<1000
Date, numeric or string fields can use range queries. Use square brackets [min TO max] for inclusive ranges and curly brackets {min TO max} for exclusive ranges.
IP Addresses¶
172.24.4.0/16 [10.0.0.1 TO 10.0.0.4]
IPv4 addresses may be searched based on ranges and with CIDR notation.
Boosting¶
web javascript^2 python^0.1
You can increase or decrease the relevance of a search term by boosting different terms, phrases, or groups. Boost one of these by adding ^n to the term, phrase, or group where n is a number greater than 1 to increase relevance and between 0 and 1 to decrease relevance. For example ‘web^4 python^0.1’ would find anything with both web and python, but would increase the relevance for anything with ‘web’ in the result and decrease the relevance for anything with ‘python’ in the result.
Advanced Features¶
CORS - Accessing Searchlight from the browser¶
Searchlight can be configured to permit access directly from the browser. For details on this configuration, please refer to the OpenStack Cloud Admin Guide. | https://docs.openstack.org/searchlight/latest/user/searchlightapi.html | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | refinedweb | 2,739 | 55.44 |
For Erick M.
Thanks for your immediate response Eric!. Question? I noticed that you put a default capacity of 0 when the original code is 16. Also, as per the instructor guidance is the size that should be initialized to 0. I might be confusing between the size and capacity, but I appreciate any clarification.
For Erick,
Do you know why every time I'm trying to run my program in eclipse, the following message is showing "Selection does not contain a main type"?
I'm sorry, it was your program that I was trying to run. Here is the window
So this need a test file?
For Eric M.
I received feed back from the instructor. It looks like I need to create a generic class that accepts a stack of Strings, Objects, integers. Any help will be appreciated.
Hmm, I'm having a little trouble parsing what the instructor is saying -- I've tested this out, and it takes Strings, Objects, and integers. The code I use to test it is this:StackOfObjects soo=new StackOfObjects(); soo.push(new String()); soo.push(5); soo.push(new Object());The first line initializes the Stack, the second adds a String, the third adds an Integer, and the fourth adds an Object.I'm re-uploading the file in which I made these changes -- I don't think I've made any changes since the last time I uploaded it, but I could be wrong. Here it is: (link)I may have changed line 29 -- formerly, it said:public void push(int value) {which means it would only take an integer, but it's now:public void push(Object value) {I believe I changed that before uploading the previous file, but I'm not 100% certain -- I know I forgot that change initially. That change is necessary to make it accept Objects instead of just ints, though, so that could be what your instructor is referencing if I did make that mistake.If not, I would tell your instructor that the class successfully lets you add ints, Strings, and Objects (as given by the above code), and ask how this differs from what he's looking for. I'll be happy to help further, I'm just trying to figure out what it is that he's looking for.Thanks again!
I thinks this might be how the class loos like to make it generic:
public class StackOfObjects <T> { private T elements; private int size;
But I'm having problems to make it work in the code.
here is the full feedback:
The problem is that the same stack can contain different types of objects. You can push a String, an Integer, a Double, or an object of any class whatsoever (including a stack!) all onto the same stack. What you want is a generic stack where each element is of the same desired type. You could use the same class to create a stack of Strings, a stack of Integers, or a stack of objects of some class you wrote. For example, if you used the class to create a stack of Strings, then the only thing you could put on the stack are Strings (or objects from a subclass of String). If you tried to push an Integer onto this stack, the compiler would complain about incompatible types.
Yeah, I agree. If you can take a look later on will be great. thanks!
did you make any changes in the main code? I'm getting a message that my object is not generic
Hey Eric,
you already send this. my question is : do you made any changes from the original code that allows you to test it with your new class?
Did you change anything from the main Stack of objects file. When I'm testing your code I'm getting
" The type StackOfObjects is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>"
package stackofobjects;public class StackOfObjects { private Object[] elements; private int size;/** Construct a stack with the default capacity 16 */ public StackOfObjects() { this(16); } /** Construct a stack with the specified maximum capacity intialize size to 0*/ public StackOfObjects(int capacity) { elements = new Object[capacity];size =0; } /** Push a new integer into the top of the stack */ public void push(String value) { if (size >= elements.length) { Object[] temp = new Object[elements.length * 2]; System.arraycopy(elements, 0, temp, 0, elements.length); elements = temp; } elements[size++] = value; } /** Return and remove the top element from the stack */ public Object pop() { return elements[--size]; } /** Return the top element from the stack */ public Object peek() { return elements[size - 1]; } /** Test whether the stack is empty */ public boolean empty() { return size == 0; } /** Return the number of elements in the stack */ public int getSize() { return size; }}
No worries, it works. thank you!

This article provides a base for fresh C# and Java developers.
C# includes more primitive types and the functionality to catch arithmetic exceptions.
Includes a large number of notational conveniences over Java, many of which, such as operator overloading and user-defined casts, are already familiar to the large community of C++ programmers.
Event handling is a "first class citizen"—it is part of the language itself.
Allows the definition of "structs", which are similar to classes but may be allocated on the stack (unlike instances of classes in C# and Java).
C# implements properties as part of the language syntax.
C# allows switch statements to operate on strings.
switch
string
C# allows anonymous methods providing closure functionality.
C# allows iterator that employs co-routines via a functional-style yield keyword.
yield
C# has support for output parameters, aiding in the return of multiple values, a feature shared by C++ and SQL.
C# has the ability to alias namespaces.
C# has "Explicit Member Implementation" which allows a class to specifically implement methods of an interface, separate from its own class methods. This allows it also to implement two different interfaces which happen to have a method of the same name. The methods of an interface do not need to be public; they can be made to be accessible only via that interface.
public
C# provides integration with COM.
Following the example of C and C++, C# allows call by reference for primitive and reference types.
Java's strictfp keyword guarantees that the result of floating point operations remain the same across platforms.
strictfp
Java supports checked exceptions for better enforcement of error trapping and handling.
There are no unsigned primitive numeric types in Java. While it is universally agreed that mixing signed and unsigned variables in code is bad, Java's lack of support for unsigned numeric types makes it somewhat unsuited for low-level programming.
C# does not include checked exceptions. Some would argue that checked exceptions are very helpful for good programming practice. Others, including Anders Hejlsberg, chief C# language architect, argue that they were to some extent an experiment in Java and that they haven't been shown to be worthwhile [1] [2].
C#'s namespaces are more similar to those in C++. Unlike Java, the namespace does not specify the location of the source file. (Actually, it's not strictly necessary for a Java source file location to mirror its package directory structure.)
C#
C# allows the use of pointers, which some language designers consider to be unsafe, but certain language features try to ensure this functionality is not misused accidentally. Pointers also greatly complicate technologies such as Java's RMI (Remote Method Invocation), where program objects resident on one computer can be referenced within a program running on an entirely separate computer. Some have speculated that the lack of memory pointers in Java (substituted by the more abstract notion of object references) was a nod towards the coming of grid computing, where a single application may be distributed across many physical pieces of hardware.
C# supports the goto keyword. This can occasionally be useful, but the use of a more structured method of control flow is usually recommended.
goto
C# has true multi-dimensional arrays, as well as the array-of-arrays that is available to Java (which C# calls jagged arrays). Multi-dimensional arrays are always rectangular (in the 2D case, or analogous for more dimensions), whereas an array-of-arrays may store rows (again in the 2D case) of various lengths. Rectangular arrays may speed access if memory is a bottleneck (there is only one memory reference instead of two; this benefit is very dependent on cache behavior) while jagged arrays save memory if it's not full but cost (at the penalty of one pointer per row) if it is. Rectangular arrays also obviate the need to allocate memory for each row explicitly.
Java does not include operator overloading, because abuse of operator overloading can lead to code that is harder to understand and debug. C# allows operator overloading, which, when used carefully, can make code terser and more readable. Java's lack of overloading makes it somewhat unsuited for certain mathematical programs. Conversely, .NET's numeric types do not share a common interface or superclass with add/subtract/etc. methods, restricting the flexibility of numerical libraries.
Methods in C# are non-virtual by default. In Java however, methods are virtual by default. Virtual methods guarantee that the most overridden method of an object will be called which is determined by the runtime. You always have to keep that in mind when calling or writing any virtual method! If the method is declared as non-virtual, the method to invoke will be determined by the compiler. This is a major difference of philosophy between the designers of the Java and .NET platforms.
Java 1.5's generics use type-erasure. Information about the generic types is lost when Java source is compiled to bytecode. .NET 2.0's generics are preserved after compilation due to generics support starting in version 2.0 of the .NET Common Language Runtime, or CLR for short. Java's approach allows Java 1.5 binaries to be run in the 1.4 JRE, at the cost of additional runtime typechecks.
C# is defined by ECMA and ISO standards, whereas Java is proprietary, though largely controlled through an open community process.
The C# API is completely controlled by Microsoft, whereas the Java API is managed through an open community process.
The .NET run-time allows both managed and unmanaged code, enabling certain classes of bugs that do not exist in Java's pure managed code environment but also allows interfacing with existing code.

I am interested in knowing what primitive types C# has that Java does not.
Note that stacks are machine-dependent; not all processes have stacks. That might be why stacks are excluded from the Java Virtual Machine that is designed to be portable.
What is the "C# API"? I think it would help to specify it in the terminology that defines it.
The article says: "C# has support for output parameters" ... "featured shared by C++". I am familiar with C++ but I do not understand what is meant by "output parameters" for C++. I think it would help to clarify what is meant by "output parameters" for C++.
Also the article says: "Following the example of C and C++, C# allows call by reference for primitive and reference types.". Note that C does not have reference types as does C++. Also, the term "call by reference" is confusing for the C and C++ languages. I think that instead of saying "call by reference" in the context of C and C++, it is better to use the terminology that the C and C++ langauges use to describe what you are trying to describe.

When writing integration tests that use a persistent data store, it’s important to isolate the tests as much as possible to provide stability in test results.
Unit tests are easy to isolate: the test boundary is a function, we call it with arguments and assert the output. Integration tests are more challenging to isolate. In this case, the challenge is the shared database: create setup data in the database, run code that interacts with the database, then assert output.
To isolate, one might write data that is uniquely-identifiable to the test (eg, with queryable unique ids).
What does this kind of test look like for Jest? Let’s say that we have a test for a bit of code that’s meant to create a Book model record in the database:
import * as uuid from 'uuid' import * as bookRepo from './book' import * as database from './database' it('creates a book', async () => { const db = await database.connect() const title = uuid.v4() await bookRepo.create(db, title, 'An author name') const result = await db.query('select * from book where title = $1', [title]) expect(result.rowCount).toEqual(1) expect(result.rows[0].title).toEqual(title) expect(result.rows[0].author).toEqual('An author name') database.disconnect() })
By generating the title with a unique value, we can tie that data in the database back to this test successfully. We just need to make sure to query by that unique data when we go to assert what’s in the database.
Another method of isolation that can be useful is to ensure that the database is clean for every run of a test. In this way, we know that data in the database is for the test and assertions can be more straightforward:
import * as bookRepo from './book' import * as database from './database' it('creates a book', async () => { const db = await database.connect() await db.query('delete from book') await bookRepo.create(db, 'A title', 'An author name') const result = await db.query('select * from book') expect(result.rowCount).toEqual(1) expect(result.rows[0].title).toEqual('A title') expect(result.rows[0].author).toEqual('An author name') database.disconnect() })
The important steps are:
- The setup - we delete all book records before our test runs so that we know that we’re starting with a baseline of 0 books
- Exercising the code - we run the subject under test, as usual
- Assertion - we can easily test that there’s one book in total, because that’s what our code should create, and we started with 0 books
We used the same test of book insertion to show a comparison, but it’s really too trivial of an example to show the advantages to to using this method. Imagine, instead, that you were querying a 3rd-party service over which you didn’t have direct knowledge of your input data but where you could make assertions on the number of rows, recency of timestamp or something like that. Knowing all data in the database is related to the current test only could help.
This method, however, comes with a clear downside. Let’s imagine that we had many tests where we follow this same pattern: clear db, run tests, assert what’s in the db. Most test runners will run tests in parallel. This means that there are some tests that have cleared the database and others that have written to it, all asserting different things. It’s easy to see how the different tests will clobber each others’ pristine environment and create unstable test results.
One solution is to run the tests serially, one at a time, so that the tests can use the shared environment one at a time before letting the test suite advance to the next test. Jest provides an option to accomplish this, –runInBand:
jest --runInBand
And we can avoid that problem. Of course, this has the downside of increasing the running time for your integration test suite.
There are likely other ways to make sure that we can isolate our tests where we use a shared database. What methods have you found effective? | https://jaketrent.com/post/isolate-jest-integration-test-shared-database | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | refinedweb | 684 | 63.8 |

Hi kids!
I have made a new release of strace for testing purposes, called 4.4.90.
As you might guess from the name, this is what I expect to be called 4.5 as
soon it gets some more fixes.
The sources can be got from
and I've also uploaded the source package to Debian (same files).
There is a .deb there for powerpc as well, but YMMV with that.
There is an rpm spec file included in the sources now as well, so you can
use "rpmbuild -ta strace_4.4.90-1.tar.gz" to build it on an rpm-based system.
The sourceforge CVS repository has the tag v4_4_90 for the current state
that produced these release files.
For those building by hand, it may be notable that the distribution now
uses Autoconf-2.57 and Automake-1.7.2. I don't recommend regenerating
configure and Makefile.in unless you have those versions.
This version has problems with -f on Linux/IA64 2.4.x and on Linux/S390.
I would appreciate help fixing those from people who grok those machines.
The canonical test case is "strace -f /usr/bin/time /bin/true".
Enjoy,
Roland

ITEMIDLIST structure
Contains a list of item identifiers.
Syntax
- mkid
-
A list of item identifiers.
Remarks
A pointer to this structure, called a PIDL, is used to identify objects in the Shell namespace. For more information about pointers to item identifier lists (PIDLs) and item identifiers, see Introduction to the Shell Namespace.
ITEMIDLIST Strict Types
As of Windows Vista, several forms of ITEMIDLIST are available as data types. The three main types are:
- IDLIST_ABSOLUTE: Fully qualified ITEMIDLIST relative to the root of the namespace. It may be multi-level.
- IDLIST_RELATIVE: ITEMIDLIST relative to a parent folder. It may be multi-level.
- ITEMID_CHILD: Single-level ITEMIDLIST relative to a parent folder. It contains exactly one SHITEMID structure.
These types are used if you compile your code with the symbol STRICT_TYPED_ITEMIDS before you include the Shell header files, as shown in the following example code.
The meaning of each of these types can be altered with one or more of the following modifiers:
- P: The type is a pointer.
- C: The type is constant.
- U: The type is unaligned. It aligns to a DWORD boundary in 32-bit architectures and a QWORD boundary in 64-bit architectures.
Some examples of these modified types are:
- PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE: The ITEMIDLIST is absolute and has been allocated, as indicated by its being non-constant. This means that it needs to be deallocated with ILFree when it is no longer needed. Because it is a direct pointer to allocated memory, it is aligned.
- PCIDLIST_ABSOLUTE: The ITEMIDLIST is absolute and constant. This is typically used when you are passed an absolute ITEMIDLIST as a parameter but do not own it, and so are not allowed to change it.
- PCUIDLIST_ABSOLUTE: The ITEMIDLIST is absolute, constant and unaligned. This is rarely used. Absolute ITEMIDLIST are typically allocated in memory aligned to a DWORD boundary in 32-bit architectures and to a QWORD boundary in 64-bit architectures. An absolute ITEMIDLIST would be unaligned only if it has been byte-packed along with other data, such as in a serialization format.
- PITEMID_CHILD: The ITEMIDLIST is an allocated child ITEMIDLIST relative to a parent folder, such as a result of IEnumIDList::Next. It contains exactly one SHITEMID structure.
- PCUITEMID_CHILD: The child ITEMIDLIST is relative, constant, and unaligned. This often occurs when you get a pointer to part of an existing PIDL. For example, if you have an absolute PIDL and call ILFindLastID, it returns the pointer to the last child SHITEMID in the list. It is unaligned because the byte-packed PIDL does not ensure that its individual SHITEMID structures fall on byte boundaries. References to child PIDLs such as these are always constant because the memory is owned by the absolute PIDL.
- PCITEMID_CHILD: The child ITEMIDLIST is constant and aligned. This is rarely used because as a child PIDL, it is usually a part of a larger PIDL, and therefore not aligned on byte boundaries.
- PUITEMID_CHILD: The child ITEMIDLIST is unaligned. This is rarely used because memory for this ITEMIDLIST is owned by the parent PIDL, which is absolute. This means that modifications can be made only to the parent PIDL, and so the child PIDL would need to be constant.
This list is not exhaustive. Other types can also exist.

The Storage Team Blog about file services and storage features in Windows and Windows Server.
There are a couple of ways to check the progress of initial replication. You can either use the Event Viewer snap-in or WMI to check whether your replicated folders have finished initial replication.
Event Viewer:
A separate event (4104) is thrown for each replicated folder on each downstream partner. For example, if there are three downstream partners with four replicated folders each then a total of 12 events will be thrown on all downstream partners.
Open the Event Viewer snap-in on the server, navigate to the DFSR event log, and then check the 4104 events for your replicated folders.
WMI:
You can also check the status of initial replication by running the following command on the downstream machine. This is especially handy if the event log has been cleared.
C:\dfsr>Wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrreplicatedfolderinfo get replicationgroupname,replicatedfoldername,state ReplicatedFolderName ReplicationGroupName State DATA Test-RG 4
The state for each folder that has completed initial replication is 4. For all other folders that are still in the process of initial replication, the ‘State’ will be 2.

Hi everyone, This message announces the birth of a new service: Alioth is a Sourceforge installation dedicated to Debian. Before going into details, I'd like to thank Roland Mas and Christian Bayle who packaged Sourceforge (and it's not something easy!). Special kudos to Roland Mas and Wichert Akkerman who worked together to set it up and to make some modifications for Debian (so that each Debian developer has his usual account mostly ready to use, for example). Project approval policy ----------------------- Alioth offers the same range of services than Sourceforge but only to projects which met certain criteria. Here are the guidelines we're going to follow when approving project submissions: We'll approve all those projects: - Free software or free documentation (as defined by the Debian Free Software Guidelines) authored by Debian developers, or free software/documentation where a Debian developer is heavily involved (part of the core team for example). The project request should ideally be done by a Debian developer. - Free documentation concerning Debian or any of its derivatives. We may also approve other projects on a case by case basis, for example: - Other projects (non-software, non-documentation) whose goal is to promote Debian. - Other projects (non-software, non-documentation) whose goal is to promote free software in general, if those initiatives are backed by Debian or by a group a Debian developers. - Any other project where you can convince the Alioth's administrators that it will help Debian achieve World Domination. What is it good for ? --------------------- Alioth has big advantages: - creating a project is easy and it offers you full control over many services - it is open to non-Debian developers and you can easily grant rights (for example CVS write access) to external contributors Thus Alioth is particularly suited for: - Debian specific software that could be used by third parties (who'd be able to easily contribute). I would give the "Debian menu system" as an example. - Documentation where many external contributors (authors, translators, reviewers) are typically involved. - Subprojects like DebianEdu where many contributors are not (yet) Debian developers, and where we want to federate/integrate projects which started without any links to Debian. But Alioth can still be used for projects/tasks of limited scope: for example comaintenance of packages can be done on Alioth (by using the CVS repository). How to use my Debian Developer account ? ---------------------------------------- Your account already exists. You just have to change your password by following the instructions on this page: (the URL will be mailed to your @debian.org email account). Very recent new developers may not have their account created at exactly the same time on Alioth as on other Debian servers, but the delay is worked on. How to use Alioth if I'm not an official developer ? ---------------------------------------------------- Just click on the "New user via SSL" link and create your account from there. Your account name will include a "-guest" suffix, so that we can avoid namespace conflicts with "real" Debian developers. Apart from that limitation, your account is not crippled. Expectations ------------ We hope that this service will show that the Debian community is a very active part of the free software community. Hopefully it will also help us by letting more people contribute to Debian without going through the complete new maintainer system. It should also help collaborative package maintenance, thus increasing the general quality of Debian. Why "Alioth"? ------------- Well, we had to pick a name. Lots of names were suggested, most of which were references to movies, books, cartoons or whatever. These references were not necessarily understood by people from all over the world (not everywhere can you watch the Simpsons or Goldorak on TV), and the names had not much significance apart from these references. The Alioth name was primarily chosen as a reference too, but this one is less bound to geographical origin of the users: it's the capital system for the Alliance of Independent Systems in the Frontier First Encounters game. I'm not saying everyone here played this game, but it's more likely that you have at least heard of it, whereas you probably have no clue who Actarus is unless you're French, male, and 23 to 30 years old. Oh, and as a bonus, Alioth is a real star, in the constellation of Ursa Major (as any Google search will tell you). We hope you'll enjoy this new service ! -- The Alioth administrators (Wichert Akkerman, Roland Mas, myself)
