in reply to
Miscellaneous.pm?
I am curious to see if this thread gets a solution that I like better than my own. I have one module around named along the lines of "Utilities.pm" that such funcitons end up in. Since my code has yet to end up on CPAN, I haven't had to worry about distribution issues. In a module bound for CPAN, I'd be wary of depending on such convenience functions - if they really are such little snippets, it's probably not worth adding another module to CPAN and depending on it. I'm not a big fan of such catch-all modules, so I'd rather see useful functions added to CPAN in some approrpiate (more-well-categorized) place.
If a namespace issue should crop up with such a module in my own code, well, perl -pi -e 's/.../.../' will be a pretty quick solution.

MySQL Shell 8.0 (part of MySQL 8.0)
MySQL Shell's parallel table import utility
util.importTable(), introduced in MySQL Shell
8.0.17,. Note that JSON
data must be in document-per-line format.
The parallel table import utility requires an existing
classic MySQL protocol connection to the target MySQL server. Each
thread opens its own session to send chunks of the data to the
MySQL server. You can adjust the number of threads, number of
bytes sent in each chunk, and maximum rate of data transfer per
thread, to balance the load on the network and the speed of data
transfer. The utility cannot operate over X Protocol connections,
which do not support
LOAD DATA statements.
The parallel table import utility uses
LOAD DATA LOCAL
INFILE statements to upload data chunks from the input
file, so the data file to be imported must be in a location that
is accessible to the client host as a local disk. The
local_infile system variable must
be set to
ON on the target server. You can do
this by issuing the following statement in SQL mode before running
the parallel table import utility:
SET GLOBAL local_infile = 1;
To avoid a known potential security issue with
LOAD DATA
LOCAL, when the MySQL server replies to the parallel
table import utility's
LOAD DATA requests with
file transfer requests, the utility only sends the predetermined
data chunks, and ignores any specific requests attempted by the
server. For more information, see
Security Considerations for LOAD DATA LOCAL.
In the MySQL Shell API, the parallel table import utility is a
function of the
util global object, and has the
following signature:
importTable (filename, options)
filename is a string specifying the name and
path for the file containing the data to be imported. On Windows,
backslashes must be escaped in the file path, or you can use
forward slashes instead. The data file to be imported must be in a
location that is accessible to the client host as a local disk.
The data is imported to the MySQL server to which the active MySQL
session is connected.
options is a dictionary of import options that
can be omitted if it is empty. The following options are available
to specify where and how the data is imported:
schema: "
db_name"
The name of the target database on the connected MySQL
server. If you omit this option, the utility attempts to
identify and use the schema name in use for the current
MySQL Shell session, as specified in a connection URI
string,
\use command, or MySQL Shell
option. If the schema name is not specified and cannot be
identified from the session, an error is returned.
table: "
table_name"
The name of the target relational table. If you omit this option, the utility assumes the table name is the name of the data file without the extension. The target table must exist in the target database.
columns:
array of column names
An array of strings containing column names from the import file, given in the order that they map to columns in the target relational table. Use this option if the import file does not contain all the columns of the target table, or if the order of the fields in the import file differs from the order of the columns in the table. If you omit this option, input lines are expected to contain a matching field for each column in the target table.
From MySQL Shell 8.0.22, you can use this option to capture
columns from the import file for input preprocessing, in the
same way as with a
LOAD
DATA statement. When you use an integer value in
place of a column name in the array, that column in the
import file is captured as a user variable
@, for
example
int
@1. The selected data can be
discarded, or you can use the
decodeColumns option to transform the
data and assign it to a column in the target table.
In this example, the second and fourth columns from the
import file are assigned to the user variables
@1 and
@2, and no
decodeColumns option is present to assign
them to any column in the target table, so they are
discarded.
mysql-js>
util.importTable('file.txt', { table: 't1', columns: ['column1', 1, 'column2', 2, 'column3'] });
decodeColumns:
dictionary
A dictionary of key-value pairs that assigns import file
columns captured as user variables by the
columns option to columns in the target
table, and specifies preprocessing transformations for them
in the same way as the
SET clause of a
LOAD DATA statement. This
option is available from MySQL Shell 8.0.22.
In this example, the first input column from the data file
is used as the first column in the target table. The second
input column, which has been assigned to the variable
@1 by the
columns
option, is subjected to a division operation before being
used as the value of the second column in the target table.
mysql-js>
util.importTable('file.txt', { columns: ['column1', 1], decodeColumns: {'column2': '@1 / 100'} });
In this example, the input columns from the data file are both assigned to variables, then transformed in various ways and used to populate the columns of the target table:
mysql-js>
util.importTable('file.txt', { table: 't1', columns: [1, 2], decodeColumns: { 'a': '@1', 'b': '@2', 'sum': '@1 + @2', 'multiple': '@1 * @2', 'power': 'POW(@1, @2)' } });
skipRows:
number
Skip this number of rows of data at the beginning of the file. You can use this option to omit an initial header line containing column names from the upload to the table. The default is that no rows are skipped.
replaceDuplicates: [true|false]
Whether input rows that have the same value for a primary
key or unique index as an existing row should be replaced
(
true) or skipped
(
false). The default is
false.
dialect: [default|csv|csv-unix|tsv|json]
Use a set of field- and line-handling options appropriate
for the specified file format. You can use the selected
dialect as a base for further customization, by also
specifying one or more of the
linesTerminatedBy,
fieldsTerminatedBy,
fieldsEnclosedBy,
fieldsOptionallyEnclosed, and
fieldsEscapedBy options to change the
settings. The default dialect maps to a file created using a
SELECT...INTO
OUTFILE statement with the default settings for
that statement. Other dialects are available to suit CSV
files (created on either DOS or UNIX systems), TSV files,
and JSON data. The settings applied for each dialect are as
follows:
The carriage return and line feed values for the dialects are operating system independent.
If you use the
linesTerminatedBy,
fieldsTerminatedBy,
fieldsEnclosedBy,
fieldsOptionallyEnclosed, and
fieldsEscapedBy options, depending
on the escaping conventions of your command
interpreter, the backslash character (\) might need to
be doubled if you use it in the option values.
Like the MySQL server with the
LOAD DATA statement,
MySQL Shell does not validate the field- and
line-handling options that you specify. Inaccurate
selections for these options can cause data to be
imported into the wrong fields, partially, and/or
incorrectly. Always verify your settings before
starting the import, and verify the results
afterwards.
linesTerminatedBy: "
characters"
One or more characters (or an empty string) that terminates
each of the lines in the input data file. The default is as
for the specified dialect, or a linefeed character
(
\n) if the dialect option is omitted.
This option is equivalent to the
LINES TERMINATED
BY option for the
LOAD
DATA statement. Note that the utility does not
provide an equivalent for the
LINES STARTING
BY option for the
LOAD DATA
statement, which is set to the empty string.
fieldsTerminatedBy: "
characters"
One or more characters (or an empty string) that terminates
each of the fields in the input data file. The default is as
for the specified dialect, or a tab character
(
\t) if the dialect option is omitted.
This option is equivalent to the
FIELDS TERMINATED
BY option for the
LOAD
DATA statement.
fieldsEnclosedBy: "
character"
A single character (or an empty string) that encloses each
of the fields in the input data file. The default is as for
the specified dialect, or the empty string if the dialect
option is omitted. This option is equivalent to the
FIELDS ENCLOSED BY option for the
LOAD DATA statement.
fieldsOptionallyEnclosed: [ true | false ]
Whether the character given for
fieldsEnclosedBy encloses all of the
fields in the input data file (
false), or
encloses the fields only in some cases
(
true). The default is as for the
specified dialect, or
false if the
dialect option is omitted. This option makes the
fieldsEnclosedBy option equivalent to the
FIELDS OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY option for
the
LOAD DATA statement.
fieldsEscapedBy: "
character"
The character that begins escape sequences in the input data
file. If this is not provided, escape sequence
interpretation does not occur. The default is as for the
specified dialect, or a backslash (\) if the dialect option
is omitted. This option is equivalent to the
FIELDS
ESCAPED BY option for the
LOAD DATA statement.
characterSet: "
charset"
Added in MySQL Shell 8.0.21. This option.
bytesPerChunk: "
size"
The number of bytes (plus any additional bytes required to
reach the end of the row) that threads send for each
LOAD DATA call to the target
server. The utility divides the data into chunks of this
size for threads to pick up and send to the target server.
The chunk size can be specified as a number of bytes, or
using the suffixes k (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G
(gigabytes). For example,
bytesPerChunk="2k" makes threads send
chunks of approximately 2 kilobytes. The minimum chunk size
is 131072 bytes, and the default chunk size is 50M.
threads:
number
The maximum number of parallel threads to use to send the data in the input file to the target server. If you do not specify a number of threads, the default maximum is 8. The utility calculates an appropriate number of threads to create up to this maximum, using the following formula:
min{max{1, threads}, chunks}}
where
threads is the maximum number of
threads, and
chunks is the number of
chunks that the data will be split into, which is calculated
by dividing the file size by the
bytesPerChunk size then adding 1. The
calculation ensures that if the maximum number of threads
exceeds the number of chunks that will actually be sent, the
utility does not create more threads than necessary.
maxRate: "
rate"
The maximum limit on data throughput in bytes per second per
thread. Use this option if you need to avoid saturating the
network or the I/O or CPU for the client host or target
server. The maximum rate can be specified as a number of
bytes, or using the suffixes k (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G
(gigabytes). For example,
maxRate="5M"
limits each thread to 5MB of data per second, which for
eight threads gives a transfer rate of 40MB/second. The
default is 0, meaning that there is no limit.
showProgress: [ true | false ]
Display (
true) or hide
(
false) progress information for the
import. The default is
true if stdout is
a terminal (tty), and
false otherwise.
The following examples import the data in the CSV file
/tmp/productrange.csv to the
products table in the
mydb
database, skipping a header row in the file:
mysql-js>
util.importTable("/tmp/productrange.csv", {schema: "mydb", table: "products", dialect: "csv-unix", skipRows: 1, showProgress: true})
mysql-py>
util.import_table("/tmp/productrange.csv", {"schema": "mydb", "table": "products", "dialect": "csv-unix", "skipRows": 1, "showProgress": True})
The following example only specifies the dialect for the CSV file.
mydb is the active schema for the MySQL Shell
session. The utility therefore imports the data in the file
/tmp/productrange.csv to the
productrange table in the
mydb database:
mysql-py>
\use mydbmysql-py>
util.import_table("/tmp/productrange.csv", {"dialect": "csv-unix"})
The function returns void, or an exception in case of an error. If the import is stopped partway by the user with Ctrl+C or by an error, the utility stops sending data. When the server finishes processing the data it received, messages are returned showing the chunk that was being imported by each thread at the time, the percentage complete, and the number of records that were updated in the target table.
The parallel table import utility can also be invoked from the command line using the mysqlsh command interface. With this interface, you invoke the utility as in the following example:
mysqlsh mysql://root:@127.0.0.1:3366 --ssl-mode=DISABLED -- util import-table /r/mytable.dump --schema=mydb --table=regions --bytes-per-chunk=10M --linesTerminatedBy=$'\r\n'
When you use the mysqlsh command interface to
invoke the parallel table import utility, the
columns option is not supported because array
values are not accepted, so the input lines in your data file must
contain a matching field for every column in the target table.
Also note that as shown in the above example, line feed characters
must be passed using ANSI-C quoting in shells that support this
function (such as
bash,
ksh,
mksh, and
zsh).
For information on this interface, see Section 5.8, “API Command Line Interface”. | https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-shell-8.0-en/mysql-shell-utilities-parallel-table.html | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | refinedweb | 2,190 | 59.23 |
A light-weight, fully functional, general purpose templating engine, in just 40 lines of code
Discussion
Templite -- A light-weight, fully functional, general purpose templating engine, allowing you to embed python code directly into your text. This engine is suitable for any templating (not only HTML/XML), and is minimal (40 lines of code!) and fast (all preprocessing is done in "compile time")
All text between
${ and
}$ is considered python code, and is evaluated when the Templite is rendered. You can escape the
${ delimiter by
$\{ and the
}$ delimiter by
}\$.
Emitting output is done with the emit() function, which accepts any number of arguments, converts them to a string, and appends to the output where the template was located.
Security notice: IT'S NOT SECURE, as the template-generating code is arbitrary python code. So be sure you don't just evaluate user-provided Templites, at least not before taking a look at them. It's meant to be a light and fast templating engine, for trusted server side code (generating reports, etc.).
There are a couple of errors in published code. I've found in the following lines a missing '[' and ']' in string comprehension
padding = min([len(l) - len(l.lstrip()) for l in lines if l.strip()])
unpadded = "\n".join([l[padding:] for l in lines])
Thanks for the code. Nice indeed
Oscar
Shrewd! And totally cool.
these are generator expressions. python 2.4 has generator expressions, i.e.
<generator object at 0x009ED0F8>

Escaping delimiters. Having to escape only '${' outside code and only '}$' inside code can be a bit confusing, and IMO should be more noticeably and clearly noted in the documentation (or changed). I admit that the choice of delimiters is such that not much escaping will probably be needed in day-to-day use; still, someone getting the escaping wrong could have a time understanding why.
Personally I would prefer to have to escape both '${' and '}$' everywhere, for better uniformity. Of course, this is a personal preference.
Very nice. That's just the right amount of markup for embedding Python into html documents.
exec instead of eval. According to Python doc "eval(value, namespace)" should only be used for value compiled as "eval" and for "exec" you should use instead "exec value in namespace". Which worked.

I have a file which contains some trusted clojure source code:
((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))
For each of the items in the list I want to generate an anonymous function:
(fn [a b] (+ a b))
(fn [a b] (* a b))
(fn [a b] (- a b))
If I call the following marco
(defmacro create-fn
[args exprs]
`(fn ~args ~exprs))
directly with some clojure code it works perfectly:
user=> (macroexpand-1 '(create-fn [a b] (* a b)))
(clojure.core/fn [a b] (* a b))
But when I bind the context of the file to a local and try to map my macro it will not work. On access of the first generated function I get the error message "java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: a in this context"
(Please note that I had to put an extra
eval into the macro to get the value of the symbol
e which is used in the anonymous function used by map)
(defmacro create-fn
[args exprs]
`(let [e# (eval ~exprs)]
(fn ~args
e#)))
(let [exprs (read-string "((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))")
fns (map
(fn [e] (create-fn [a b] e))
exprs)]
(first fns))
Any help is very much appreciated!
Let's look at the whole code after macro expansion. This code:
(let [exprs (read-string "((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))") fns (map (fn [e] (create-fn [a b] e)) exprs)] (first fns))
Expands to this, where
e__900__auto__ is the symbol generated by
e#:
(let [exprs (read-string "((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))") fns (map (fn [e] (let [e__900__auto__ (eval e)] (fn [a b] e__900__auto__)) exprs)] (first fns))
Why doesn't this work? Well, one reason is that
a and
b aren't even in the scope of
(eval e). You might be tempted to try this next:
(defmacro create-fn [args exprs] `(fn ~args (eval ~exprs)))
After expansion, the generated function looks like this:
(let [exprs (read-string "((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))") fns (map (fn [e] (fn [a b] (eval e))) exprs)] (first fns))
This looks good, but it won't work because
eval evaluates in an empty lexical environment. In other words,
eval won't see
a and
b even with this code.
You could ditch the macro and just manually mangle the code into something you can eval, like this:
(map (fn [e] (eval (concat '(fn [a b]) (list e)))) exprs)
Alternatively, you could declare the variables
a and
b as dynamic and then use
binding to set them before evaluating the expressions.
(declare ^:dynamic a ^:dynamic b) (let [exprs (read-string "((+ a b) (* a b) (- a b))") fns (map (fn [e] (fn [a1 b1] (binding [a a1 b b1] (eval e)))) exprs)] (first fns))
If you do not want to have
a and
b in your namespace, you could set up another namespace and evaluate the code there.
My suggested solutions do not use macros. They're not useful here, because macros are expanded at compile time, but the expressions are read at runtime. If you really do want to use macros here, you'll need to move the
read-string and file handling code inside the
defmacro. | http://m.dlxedu.com/m/askdetail/3/1f3c8343ef1a35cb295c5e4b6eb9d7be.html | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | refinedweb | 527 | 60.42 |

ACK@Edge is a cloud-managed solution that is provided by Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) to implement collaborative cloud-edge computing. This topic lists the latest changes to ACK@Edge of Kubernetes 1.16.
Kubernetes Core
- Fixes the issue that kubelet fails to start when more than four records are stored in the cpuacct.stat file of a node.
- Kube-proxy supports the IP Virtual Server (IPVS) mode.
- You can use kubelet to configure the internal IP address of a node by specifying the name of a network interface controller (NIC).
For more information about the release notes on ACK, see Kubernetes 1.16 release notes.
Autonomy of edge nodes
- If the cached data is lost, clients receive the HTTP status code 404 instead of an empty string.
- The directory that is used to store the certificate of edge-hub changes from /etc/kubernetes/edge-hub to /var/lib/edge-hub.
- The certificate name of edge-hub changes from edge-hub.kubeconfig to edge-hub.conf, bootstrap-edge-hub-current.conf --> bootstrap-hub.conf.
- An interface is added for prometheus metrics.
- The performance of iptables is improved. iptables notrack is added for IP addresses 127.0.0.1:10261 and 169.254.2.1:10261.
For more information, see Autonomy of edge nodes.
Cloud-edge tunnels
- The tunneling protocol changes from TCP to gRPC. Compared with TCP, the size of data transmitted over gRPC tunnels is reduced by 40%.
- The edge-tunnel-agent component can automatically apply for and update certificates. This decouples the component from node certificates. In addition, the certificate of edge-tunnel-agent is stored in the /var/lib/edge-tunnel-agent/pki directory.
- prometheus metrics are added.
- The label that is used to deploy the pod for edge-tunnel-agent is changed to
alibabacloud.com/is-edge-worker: "true".
For more information, see Cloud-edge tunneling.
Monitor components
- metrics-server is upgraded from V0.2.1 to V0.3.8.
- ACK@Edge can be connected to Cloud Monitor by using tokens.
Cell-based management at the edge
- Manage nodes by node pool.
- Manage applications by using the UnitedDeployment controller.
- Configure a Service topology to expose a Service to only the node or node pool where the Service is deployed.
For more information about cell-based management at the edge, see Overview of edge node pools.
Enhanced node pools
- Allows you to establish more stable and secure tunnels between the cloud and enhanced node pool.
- Allows applications in on-premises networks at the edge to communicate with applications in the cloud by using container networking.
For more information, see Create an enhanced edge node pool.
Container runtimes
- The runC version of Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) and ARM64 is upgraded to 1.0.0-rc10.
- Cgroupfs cgroup driver is changed to Systemd cgroup driver.
CNI plug-in
ACK@Edge of Kubernetes 1.16 enhances the stability of the Container Network Interface (CNI) plug-in. This fixes the issue that pods with the same name in different namespaces may be allocated invalid IP addresses.
Add edge nodes to a cluster
- The procedure of adding edge nodes to a cluster is optimized and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) conflict check is supported.
- The number of IP addresses that can be assigned to nodes is configurable.
- Parameters such as labels, nodeIface, annotations, and taints are added.
- The Linux 5.4 kernel released by Ubuntu is supported.
For more information, see Add an edge node.
API changes
You can call the node pool API operations to manage edge node pools. For more information, see Node pools. | https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/201450.htm | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | refinedweb | 595 | 60.31 |
Tales: Guerrilla Interaction Design in Action!
By Loren Mack on Mar 20, 2008!
We should begin with understanding how the project started. My boss asked me to talk with some folks from another team that wanted some help from xDesign. They asked for some help with a wizard for creating XML documents. A perfect opportunity to use the Guerrilla Interaction Design process, as...
The Guerrilla is at one with The Wizard
Turns out as well that these folks were no ordinary developers. Both of them flexible and open-minded, they were interested in solving the problem in the most usable way, rather than the easiest to implement way. Score!
After about 45 minutes of discussion, they were able to give me a clear picture of what the problems were and why they were problems. I also learned during our initial meeting that they were definitely open to outside ideas, and seemed encouraged with a few concepts we discussed in the meeting. Frag Damage Multiplier! As you may recall from my previous posts...
The Guerrilla has seen and solved all Wizard design issues
The problems were reasonably straightforward from their description, but the solution wasn't what they were expecting I think. However, after delivering the initial sketches, they seemed very enthusiastic with the direction. They immediately understood the advantages of the approach and seemed pleased. These folks were obviously skilled masters at software development, and from some very realistic screen mockups were able to see the elegance in the solution, since as we all know...:
It wasn't a bad looking screen at all. Nicely laid out, and functional, it didn't really look like a problem. But it was. What the user needed to do here didn't fit in the implementation, and that means it wasn't really usable, and we all know "poor usability" must die (or at least go really far away, like Antarctica or somewhere).
The Guerrilla is content to kill off one or two bits of infidel design or poor usability so that eventually only one or two bits remain
So "What's the problem?" you ask...
There's no way to see all selected files together in a single list.
The user needs to select XML schemas (files if you will) to be used when creating their XML document. They can get these files from the machine they're using at that moment, or from known namespaces (think of it as another kind of directory structure), or from the Internet. They'll likely need a few files, and will also likely want to be certain they select everything they intend to..
Many of you have heard the phrase "Seven, plus or minus two". For those of you that haven't, it refers to the average short-term memory storage for most humans. Think "memory" like a horizontal tube, and the "things to remember" like baseballs. Most people have a "memory" tube that's 7 +/-2 baseballs long. For each thing they need to remember short-term, think of it as putting a baseball in the tube. After ~7 balls are in the tube, adding another ball will push the first one out (equivalent to forgetting, and in my particular case my "tube" is only about 5 baseballs long and getting shorter by the minute).
In this interface, if the user needs to select more than 7 or so schemas, they'll likely need to make a paper list and check them off. Extra work, and extra memory load for those who don't "quite" need the list. And the best part is this is something a better design can eliminate completely.
The layout and controls take away space from the list (the primary benefit of this screen).
The "Primary Schema" and "Root Node" fields pertain to only one schema, or selection in the table. Displaying them separately from the actual selections blurs the relationship to the schema list. It would likely cause the user to look at the list, and then at these fields, and then back to the list in order to be certain they've selected the right schema as primary..
It wasn't that the previous version was poorly done or ugly - in fact it was very well done and it was clear to me the development team paid a lot of attention to the use and layout of controls, the consistency and polish. It was simply that something about it didn't feel right, and when the re-work was presented, the developers said "That's it! We couldn't quite describe what was wrong, but this definitely right."

This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode. The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time. This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only an internal binding model.>

A lot of seqfile users seem to be using things like %pK that uses the credentials of the current process, but that is actually completely wrong for filesystem interfaces. The unix semantics for permission checking files is to check permissions at _open_ time, not at read or write time, and that is not just a small detail: passing off stdin/stdout/stderr to a suid application and making the actual IO happen in privileged context is a classic exploit technique. So if we want to be able to look at permissions at read time, we need to use the file open credentials, not the current ones. Normal file accesses can just use "f_cred" (or any of the helper functions that do that, like file_ns_capable()), but the seqfile interfaces do not have any such options. It turns out that seq_file _does_ save away the user_ns information of the file, though. Since user_ns is just part of the full credential information, replace that special case with saving off the cred pointer instead, and suddenly seq_file has all the permission information it needs.

Starting with 4.1 the tracing subsystem has its own filesystem which is automounted in the tracing subdirectory of debugfs. Prior to this debugfs could be bind mounted in a cloned mount namespace, but if tracefs has been mounted under debugfs this now fails because there is a locked child mount. This creates a regression for container software which bind mounts debugfs to satisfy the assumption of some userspace software. In other pseudo filesystems such as proc and sysfs we're already creating mountpoints like this in such a way that no dirents can be created in the directories, allowing them to be exceptions to some MNT_LOCKED tests. In fact we're already do this for the tracefs mountpoint in sysfs. Do the same in debugfs_create_automount(), since the intention here is clearly to create a mountpoint. This fixes the regression, as locked child mounts on permanently empty directories do not cause a bind mount to fail. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.1+ Signed-off-by:

If we rename an inode A (be it a file or a directory), create a new inode B with the old name of inode A and under the same parent directory, fsync inode B and then power fail, at log tree replay time we end up removing inode A completely. If inode A is a directory then all its files are gone too. Example scenarios where this happens: This is reproducible with the following steps, taken from a couple of test cases written for fstests which are going to be submitted upstream soon: # Scenario 1 mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc mount /dev/sdc /mnt mkdir -p /mnt/a/x echo "hello" > /mnt/a/x/foo echo "world" > /mnt/a/x/bar sync mv /mnt/a/x /mnt/a/y mkdir /mnt/a/x xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/a/x <power failure happens> The next time the fs is mounted, log tree replay happens and the directory "y" does not exist nor do the files "foo" and "bar" exist anywhere (neither in "y" nor in "x", nor the root nor anywhere). # Scenario 2 mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc mount /dev/sdc /mnt mkdir /mnt/a echo "hello" > /mnt/a/foo sync mv /mnt/a/foo /mnt/a/bar echo "world" > /mnt/a/foo xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/a/foo <power failure happens> The next time the fs is mounted, log tree replay happens and the file "bar" does not exists anymore. A file with the name "foo" exists and it matches the second file we created. Another related problem that does not involve file/data loss is when a new inode is created with the name of a deleted snapshot and we fsync it: mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc mount /dev/sdc /mnt mkdir /mnt/testdir btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt /mnt/testdir/snap btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/testdir/snap rmdir /mnt/testdir mkdir /mnt/testdir xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/testdir # or fsync some file inside /mnt/testdir <power failure> The next time the fs is mounted the log replay procedure fails because it attempts to delete the snapshot entry (which has dir item key type of BTRFS_ROOT_ITEM_KEY) as if it were a regular (non-root) entry, resulting in the following error that causes mount to fail: [52174.510532] BTRFS info (device dm-0): failed to delete reference to snap, inode 257 parent 257 [52174.512570] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [52174.513278] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 28024 at fs/btrfs/inode.c:3986 __btrfs_unlink_inode+0x178/0x351 [btrfs]() [52174.514681] BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -2) [52174.515630] Modules linked in: btrfs dm_flakey dm_mod overlay crc32c_generic ppdev xor raid6_pq acpi_cpufreq parport_pc tpm_tis sg parport tpm evdev i2c_piix4 proc [52174.521568] CPU: 12 PID: 28024 Comm: mount Tainted: G W 4.5.0-rc6-btrfs-next-27+ #1 [52174.522805] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS by qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 [52174.524053] 0000000000000000 ffff8801df2a7710 ffffffff81264e93 ffff8801df2a7758 [52174.524053] 0000000000000009 ffff8801df2a7748 ffffffff81051618 ffffffffa03591cd [52174.524053] 00000000fffffffe ffff88015e6e5000 ffff88016dbc3c88 ffff88016dbc3c88 [52174.524053] Call Trace: [52174.524053] [<ffffffff81264e93>] dump_stack+0x67/0x90 [52174.524053] [<ffffffff81051618>] warn_slowpath_common+0x99/0xb2 [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa03591cd>] ? __btrfs_unlink_inode+0x178/0x351 [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffff81051679>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x48/0x50 [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa03591cd>] __btrfs_unlink_inode+0x178/0x351 [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffff8118f5e9>] ? iput+0xb0/0x284 [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa0359fe8>] btrfs_unlink_inode+0x1c/0x3d [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa038631e>] check_item_in_log+0x1fe/0x29b [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa0386522>] replay_dir_deletes+0x167/0x1cf [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa038739e>] fixup_inode_link_count+0x289/0x2aa [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa038748a>] fixup_inode_link_counts+0xcb/0x105 [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa038a5ec>] btrfs_recover_log_trees+0x258/0x32c [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa03885b2>] ? replay_one_extent+0x511/0x511 [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa034f288>] open_ctree+0x1dd4/0x21b9 [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffffa032b753>] btrfs_mount+0x97e/0xaed [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffff8108e1b7>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0xf fffa032af81>] btrfs_mount+0x1ac/0xaed [btrfs] [52174.524053] [<ffffffff8108e1b7>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0xf [52174.524053] [<ffffffff8108c262>] ? lockdep_init_map+0xb9/0x1b3 fff8119590f>] do_mount+0x8a6/0x9e8 [52174.524053] [<ffffffff811358dd>] ? strndup_user+0x3f/0x59 [52174.524053] [<ffffffff81195c65>] SyS_mount+0x77/0x9f [52174.524053] [<ffffffff814935d7>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6b [52174.561288] ---[ end trace 6b53049efb1a3ea6 ]--- Fix this by forcing a transaction commit when such cases happen.

create_pending_snapshot() will go readonly on _any_ error return from btrfs_qgroup_inherit(). If qgroups are enabled, a user can crash their fs by just making a snapshot and asking it to inherit from an invalid qgroup. For example: $ btrfs sub snap -i 1/10 /btrfs/ /btrfs/foo Will cause a transaction abort. Fix this by only throwing errors in btrfs_qgroup_inherit() when we know going readonly is acceptable.

Previously, ext4 would fail the mount if the file system had the quota feature enabled and quota mount options (used for the older quota setups) were present. This broke xfstests, since xfs silently ignores the usrquote and grpquota mount options if they are specified.

With the internal Quota feature, mke2fs creates empty quota inodes and quota usage tracking is enabled as soon as the file system is mounted. Since quotacheck is no longer preallocating all of the blocks in the quota inode that are likely needed to be written to, we are now seeing a lockdep false positive caused by needing to allocate a quota block from inside ext4_map_blocks(), while holding i_data_sem for a data inode.

If the lower or upper directory of an overlayfs mount belong to a btrfs file system and we fsync the file through the overlayfs' merged directory we ended up accessing an inode that didn't belong to btrfs as if it were a btrfs inode at btrfs_sync_file() resulting in a crash like the following: [ 7782.588845] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000544 [ 7782.590624] IP: [<ffffffffa030b7ab>] btrfs_sync_file+0x11b/0x3e9 [btrfs] [ 7782.591931] PGD 4d954067 PUD 1e878067 PMD 0 [ 7782.592016] Oops: 0002 [#6] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ 7782.592016] Modules linked in: btrfs overlay ppdev crc32c_generic evdev xor raid6_pq psmouse pcspkr sg serio_raw acpi_cpufreq parport_pc parport tpm_tis i2c_piix4 tpm i2c_core processor button loop autofs4 ext4 crc16 mbcache jbd2 sr_mod cdrom sd_mod ata_generic virtio_scsi ata_piix virtio_pci libata virtio_ring virtio scsi_mod e1000 floppy [last unloaded: btrfs] [ 7782.592016] CPU: 10 PID: 16437 Comm: xfs_io Tainted: G D 4.5.0-rc6-btrfs-next-26+ #1 [ 7782.592016] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS by qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 [ 7782.592016] task: ffff88001b8d40c0 ti: ffff880137488000 task.ti: ffff880137488000 [ 7782.592016] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa030b7ab>] [<ffffffffa030b7ab>] btrfs_sync_file+0x11b/0x3e9 [btrfs] [ 7782.592016] RSP: 0018:ffff88013748be40 EFLAGS: 00010286 [ 7782.592016] RAX: 0000000080000000 RBX: ffff880133b30c88 RCX: 0000000000000001 [ 7782.592016] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: ffffffff8148fec0 RDI: 00000000ffffffff [ 7782.592016] RBP: ffff88013748bec0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 7782.624248] R10: ffff88013748be40 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 7782.624248] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00000000009305a0 R15: ffff880015e3be40 [ 7782.624248] FS: 00007fa83b9cb700(0000) GS:ffff88023ed40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 7782.624248] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 7782.624248] CR2: 0000000000000544 CR3: 00000001fa652000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 7782.624248] Stack: [ 7782.624248] ffffffff8108b5cc ffff88013748bec0 0000000000000246 ffff8800b005ded0 [ 7782.624248] ffff880133b30d60 8000000000000000 7fffffffffffffff 0000000000000246 [ 7782.624248] 0000000000000246 ffffffff81074f9b ffffffff8104357c ffff880015e3be40 [ 7782.624248] Call Trace: [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff8108b5cc>] ? arch_local_irq_save+0x9/0xc [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff81074f9b>] ? ___might_sleep+0xce/0x217 [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff8104357c>] ? __do_page_fault+0x3c0/0x43a [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff811a2351>] vfs_fsync_range+0x8c/0x9e [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff811a237f>] vfs_fsync+0x1c/0x1e [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff811a24d6>] do_fsync+0x31/0x4a [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff811a2700>] SyS_fsync+0x10/0x14 [ 7782.624248] [<ffffffff81493617>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6b [ 7782.624248] Code: 85 c0 0f 85 e2 02 00 00 48 8b 45 b0 31 f6 4c 29 e8 48 ff c0 48 89 45 a8 48 8d 83 d8 00 00 00 48 89 c7 48 89 45 a0 e8 fc 43 18 e1 <f0> 41 ff 84 24 44 05 00 00 48 8b 83 58 ff ff ff 48 c1 e8 07 83 [ 7782.624248] RIP [<ffffffffa030b7ab>] btrfs_sync_file+0x11b/0x3e9 [btrfs] [ 7782.624248] RSP <ffff88013748be40> [ 7782.624248] CR2: 0000000000000544 [ 7782.661994] ---[ end trace 721e14960eb939bc ]--- This started happening since commit 4bacc9c9 (overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay) and even though after this change we could still access the btrfs inode through struct file->f_mapping->host or struct file->f_inode, we would end up resulting in more similar issues later on at check_parent_dirs_for_sync() because the dentry we got (from struct file->f_path.dentry) was from overlayfs and not from btrfs, that is, we had no way of getting the dentry that belonged to btrfs (we always got the dentry that belonged to overlayfs). The new patch from Miklos Szeredi, titled "vfs: add file_dentry()" and recently submitted to linux-fsdevel, adds a file_dentry() API that allows us to get the btrfs dentry from the input file and therefore being able to fsync when the upper and lower directories belong to btrfs filesystems.

Image Transmission between a HTML5 WebSocket Server and a Web Client
HTML5 WebSocket facilitates the communication between web browsers and local/remote servers. If you want to learn a simple websocket example, creating a WebSocket Server in C# and a Web client in JavaScript, you can refer to SuperWebSocket, which is a .NET implementation of Web Socket Server.
In this article, I would like to share how I implemented a simple WebSocket solution for image transmission based on the basic sample code of SuperWebSocket and Dynamic .NET TWAIN, especially what problem I have solved.
Here is a quick look of the WebSocket server and the HTML5 & JavaScript client.
Prerequisites
- Download SuperWebSocket
- Download Dynamic .NET TWAIN
- I will not detail how to create the basic WebSocket server and the JavaScript client. Please study Program.cs and Test.htm
Create a .NET WebSocket Server
Create a new WinForms project, and add the following references which are located at the folder of SuperWebSocket.
Add the required namespaces:
using Dynamsoft.DotNet.TWAIN; using SuperSocket.SocketBase; using SuperWebSocket;
In the sample code, the server is launched with port 2012, no IP specified by default. You can specify the IP address for remote access. For example:
if (!appServer.Setup("192.168.8.84", 2012)) //Setup with listening port { MessageBox.Show("Failed to setup!"); return; }
You can use Dynamic Web TWAIN component to do some image operation. With two lines of code, I can load an image file:
bool isLoad = dynamicDotNetTwain.LoadImage("dynamsoft_logo_black.png"); // load an image Image img = dynamicDotNetTwain.GetImage(0);
Be careful of the image format. It is PNG. If you want to display it in a Web browser, you need to convert the format from PNG to BMP:
byte[] result; using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream()) { img.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp); // convert png to bmp result = stream.GetBuffer(); }
It’s not done yet. The byte array contains some extra image information, which is 54 bytes in length. So the actual data length is:
int iRealLen = result.Length - 54; byte[] image = new byte[iRealLen];
Here are some tricky things that if you just send the subset of the byte array to your Web browser, you will find the displayed image is upside-down, and the color is also incorrect.
To fix the position issue, you need to sort the bytes of original data array from bottom to top. As to the color, exchange the position of blue and red. See the code:
int iIndex = 0; int iRowIndex = 0; int iWidth = width * 4; for (int i = height - 1; i >= 0; --i) { iRowIndex = i * iWidth; for (int j = 0; j < iWidth; j += 4) { // RGB to BGR image[iIndex++] = result[iRowIndex + j + 2 + 54]; // B image[iIndex++] = result[iRowIndex + j + 1 + 54]; // G image[iIndex++] = result[iRowIndex + j + 54]; // R image[iIndex++] = result[iRowIndex + j + 3 + 54]; // A } }
Now, you can send the data via:
session.Send(imageData.Data, 0, imageData.Data.Length);
Create a JavaScript Client
To receive the image as ArrayBuffer on the client side, you have to specify the binaryType after creating a WebSocket:
ws.binaryType = "arraybuffer";
Once the image data is received, draw all bytes onto a new canvas, and finally create an image element to display the canvas data:
var imageWidth = 73, imageHeight = 73; // hardcoded width & height. var byteArray = new Uint8Array(data); var canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); canvas.height = imageWidth; canvas.width = imageHeight; var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); var imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight); // total size: imageWidth * imageHeight * 4; color format BGRA var dataLen = imageData.data.length; for (var i = 0; i < dataLen; i++) { imageData.data[i] = byteArray[i]; } ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0); // create a new element and add it to div var image = document.createElement('img'); image.width = imageWidth; image.height = imageHeight; image.src = canvas.toDataURL(); var div = document.getElementById('img'); div.appendChild(image); | https://www.codepool.biz/tag/c | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | refinedweb | 687 | 50.33 |
In the last two weeks, we have shown you how to create your own Flask application and how to build a sentiment classifier from tweets using the Twitter API and nltk. Today we will combine these two things to make them work together.
STORING THE MODEL
First, we need to store our classifier from last week, so we can use it in our application. For this, we will use the package Pickle. Insert the following code from part II of the tutorial into the file and save the model to your hard drive.
import pickle path = "where-you-want-to-save-your-model" pickle.dump( classifier, open(path + "sentiment_classifier.p", "wb" ) )
The classifier is the instance of the Naive Bayes classifier from part II of the tutorial.
Now we can adjust the code of our Flask application so we load our model right after the launch.
from flask import Flask from flask_restful import Resource, Api import pickle app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='') api = Api(app) path = "path-to-the-model" classifier = pickle.load(open(path + "sentiment_classifier.p", "rb" ) ) @app.route("/index.html", methods=['POST', 'GET']) def hello_world(): return render_template("index.html")
if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port='5000')
Now when we launch our application, the model will be loaded into the memory during the startup.
ADJUSTING HTML FILES
As the next step, we have to adjust our HTML files. First, we will focus on index.html. The form that will send the HTTP request to our API needs to be added. If you already have some experience with HTML this will be very easy for you. If you are not sure about this you can use our suggestion below:
<BODY> <p> Sentiment Analysis API </p> <form id = "text_sentiment" name = "shift" action="/sentiment_analysis" method = "POST"> <p> <b>Write in your text into field below</b><br> <input type="text" name="input_text" value = "" ><br> <p> <input type="submit", </p> </form> </BODY>
Our form consists of 2 inputs: first, we have the text field where we will write the text we want to analyze and the submit button. Once the form is submitted it will send the POST request "/sentiment_analysis" to our API. If you want to read more about HTTP requests you can visit this page.
We have created two HTML files in the first part of this tutorial. We have used index.html but we haven't done anything with results.html so far. In this file, we need to make sure that Python variables passed back from our API will be shown in the browser.
<html lang="en"> <HEAD> <TITLE> Sentiment of inputted text </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <p> <b> Your text: </b> {{full_text}} </p> <p> <b> Sentiment: </b> {{sentiment}} </p> <a href="/index.html"> return to the index.html</a> </BODY> </html>
In the code above you can see the variable names in {{ }}. These are used to show the value of variables which were sent from the Flask application.
FINALIZING THE API
In the last part of this short tutorial series we will make our Flask application process the input from the form in index.html, score the text with our model from last week and output the sentiment back into the browser.
We will add two functions into our main file my_first_api.py:
# function for word features from part II of the tutorial def word_feats(words): return dict([(word, True) for word in words])
and
# function is run when /sentiment_analysis POST request is sent from the form in HTML file @app.route("/sentiment_analysis", methods=['POST']) def get_sentiment(): # we make sure that request method is POST if request.method == 'POST': # we assigned the input from form into the Python variable result = request.form # if result doesn't exist then abort if not result: abort(400) # classify the text which was submitted in the form. # function word_feats from last week is called res = classifier.classify(word_feats(result["input_text"].split())) # return the file results.html and send also two Python variables # name of the variables have to be same as in {{}} in results.html return render_template("results.html", full_text = result["input_text"], sentiment = res)
The code is commented so you can understand each step. If you run print result after it is loaded in the beginning of the function you will get
ImmutableMultiDict([('input_text', u'your text')])
This values inside this variable type can be accessed the same way as in normal Python dictionary.
For your get_sentiment() function to work properly, you need to import the method request directly from Flask.
from flask import request
Now we can launch the API from the terminal and test it with a couple of examples.
Text: "best day of my life" returns "pos".
Text: "my dog died" returns "neg".
In the end, you should have three files in the directory of your project: my_first_api.py in the main directory and index.html and results.html in the subdirectory templates. You can see the complete code without comments for all the files below.
my_first_api.py:
from flask import Flask, request from flask import render_template from flask_restful import Resource, Api import pickle app = Flask(__name__) api = Api(app) path = "" classifier = pickle.load(open(path + "sentiment_classifier.p", "rb" ) ) def word_feats(words): return dict([(word, True) for word in words]) @app.route("/index.html", methods=['POST', 'GET']) def hello_world(): return render_template("index.html") @app.route("/sentiment_analysis", methods=['POST']) def get_sentiment(): if request.method == 'POST': result = request.form if not result: abort(400) res = classifier.classify(word_feats(result["input_text"].split())) return render_template("results.html", full_text = result["input_text"], sentiment = res) if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port='5000')
index.html:
<html lang="en"> <HEAD> <TITLE> My First API </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <p> Sentiment Analysis API </p> <form id = "text_sentiment" name = "text_sentiment" action="/sentiment_analysis" method = "POST"> <p> <b>Write in your text into field below</b><br> <input type="text" name="input_text" value = "" ><br> <p> <input type="submit", </p> </form> </BODY> </html>
results.html:
<html lang="en"> <HEAD> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http- <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <TITLE> Sentiment of inputted text </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <p> <b> Your text: </b> {{full_text}} </p> <p> <b> Sentiment: </b> {{sentiment}} </p> <a href="/index.html"> return to the index.html</a> </BODY> </html>
CONCLUSION
In last three weeks, we have been working on our own API. You can now run it and explore the assigned sentiments for specific sentences. Let us know if you have the expected results.

Mostly of the form
type Something s t a b = forall f. {- some constraint on f -} => (a -> f b) -> (s -> f t)
with a simple "primed" form
type Something' s a = Something s s a a
These allow us to
- focus on an inner value of type
a... within an outer value of type
s; and perhaps
- provide (a) new inner value(s) of type
b... to produce a new outer value of type
t
The simple types therefore describe lenses that produce new values without changing the types.
Many other lens types are available. You can use a value of a more general type where a value of a more specific type is required. Some values are presented in this document with a more specific and less esoteric type than the more general and less common type they really have.

I have a problem with running an FFMPEG command from within a Python script. When I run the following command from the terminal, I can stream video and audio from my attached webcam (Logitech C310) and output to file "out.avi" without any errors.
ffmpeg -f alsa -i default -itsoffset 00:00:00 -f video4linux2 -s 1280x720 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 out.avi
When I run the same command in a Python script below,
def call_command(command): subprocess.Popen(command.split(' ')) call_command("ffmpeg -f alsa -i default -itsoffset 00:00:00 -f video4linux2 -s 1280x720 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 out.avi")
it gives me the error:
Input #0, alsa, from 'default': Duration: N/A, start: 1317762562.695397, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Audio: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, 1 channels, s16, 705 kb/s [video4linux2 @ 0x165eb10]Cannot find a proper format for codec_id 0, pix_fmt -1. /dev/video0: Input/output error
Could anyone shed some light on what could be going on here? I've tried using os.system() as well as subprocess.call() and it gives me the same errors. I'm not sure where to start on what could be going wrong here. I tried searching for the "video4linux2 Cannot find a proper format for codec_id 0, pix_fmt -1" error, but couldn't find anything consistent.
I've also tried putting the "ffmpeg -f..." command in a shell script "test.sh", and giving it executable permissions. I then open terminal, and run "./test.sh", and it works. When I try calling the command "./test.sh" from within my Python script, I'm left with the original error as before. This is the Python command I tried with the test.sh script:
subprocess.call(["./test.sh"])
You should try running Popen with shell=True argument.
subproc = subprocess.popen(command.split(' '), shell=True)
I have fixed the issue. In my Python script, I'm using OpenCV to display these frames as well as record them using ffmpeg. There is a conflict when trying to run the ffmpeg command and display them on the screen using OpenCV.
More specifically, when creating a OpenCV CreateCameraCapture object:
from opencv.cv import * from opencv.highgui import * capture = cvCreateCameraCapture(0) #conflict with ffmpeg/v4l2 occurs here
Commenting out that line of code fixes my problem. There aren't any issues with Python and executing commands.

Microcontroller Programming » Reading from the serial port using python?
Hello,
I am sending some values from the MCU to the serial port using:
...
printf_P(PSTR("%d\r\n"), X );
Then I want to read that value using a python script. What's the best way to do this task?
I tried reading the characters sent by the serial port using Python but it didn't work very well, it was very unstable (the variable wasn't read 100% of the time). This is my python code, what's wrong with it...?
import serial
serial = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyUSB0", 115200, timeout=1)
while True:
data = serial.read()
if data == 1: print "1"
if data == 2: print "2"
Thank you!
Hi lcruz,
The code looks fine from this end. Serial communications are not going to be 100% reliable. You need to have code on the receiving side to interpret the values and just ignore things that don't make any sense. Slowing down the rate at which you send data down the serial port might also help.

Hello.
I am working on a project for computer security, where we are to write code in C++ that will come up with a random string of k characters (k being 1-7, each to be done 10 times). This random string consists only of all 26 capital letters. This random string will serve as a password, and two functions will generate random passwords to compare and engage in a brute force sequential attack respectively.
After both functions have been carried out, I am to record how many attempts it took out of how many possible attempts there are for each one, average all ten per k value, and then graph the results. This part doesn't matter too much here, since it's pretty self-explanatory.
I have started on this project with some help from friends, who have helped me to write a random string generator, but that is the extent of our progress. The generator debugs just fine, but no results turn up. Whenever I run the code, I included a statement to see if it was coming up with anything, and all it gave me was "The string is ."
Naturally, I'm using the same generator twice, once to come up with the password, and again to come up with random ones to compare to the password, but this leads me to the second help.
I have no idea how to write a brute force script. Someone told me to look at it as writing a Base-26 counting machine, but that doesn't help me any. Can someone help me out with this?
tl;dr
1. Random String Generator not actually coming up with string. See code below
2. How do I write a string generator that goes "A, if not A then B, if not B then C, if not C then D..." and will even increment the ten position so to speak if AZ doesn't match when I get to 2 digits, and so on.

Hi
I am trying to write a program that displays all the bits of the binary representation of the type float.
The program needs to display info like this Example. (User enters the number 6).
This program displays a binary representation of real numbers.
Enter a real number: 6
The number's representation is 32 bits long:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
01000000110000000000000000000000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sign: 0
exponent: 10000001
mantissa: 10000000000000000000000
Notes:
To display the bits I have to use the for loop.
There is a skeleton program which has to be used and only edited within int main:.Code:/**************************************************************** * skeleton program file float.cpp * This program calculate calculates and displays a binary * representation of real numbers. * Assume all input is of the correct format. * * Input: a real number. * * Output: The bit pattern of the number stored in the computer's * memory as float * * Processing: * ....... * * Author: * ********************************************************************/ #include <iostream> // for cin and cout #include <iomanip> // for setw() using namespace std; // prototype int TestBit( unsigned bit, float number ); // start of the program int main() { return 0; } // of main() /* * TestBit: tests bits of a float number * receive: a bit where 0 is the rightmost bit * and a number to test * return: 1 if the bit is set on, 0 therwise * preconditions: bit is in the range 0..31 */ int TestBit( unsigned bit, float number ) { if ( bit < 8*sizeof(number) ) if ( ((( unsigned int) 1) << bit) & (*((unsigned int*)(&number))) ) return 1; return 0; } // TestBit
I have done all of the formatting and the prompt for real number etc (i think), I am just stuck on the 0's and 1's parts. It has just completely gone over my head.
Thank you...... | http://cboard.cprogramming.com/cplusplus-programming/100874-cplusplus-programming-help-needed-please.html | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | refinedweb | 270 | 61.06 |
New submission from Boštjan Mejak <bostjan.mejak at gmail.com>: Python interpreter should put spaces around operators in return values of complex numbers. If you give it >>> 1 + 2j it should return (1 + 2j) and not the current (1+2j) My argument is that complex numbers are written like this, with spaces surrounding operators. Wikipedia has multiple instances of the complex number writren, and it's x + yi (in our world it's x + yj but you get the point and you can see that there are spaces around the operator). Please fix the tokenizer to do the right thing. ---------- components: IO messages: 123324 nosy: Retro priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: >>> 1 + 2j --> (1 + 2j) and not (1+2j) versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report at bugs.python.org> <> _______________________________________ | https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2010-December/122175.html | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | refinedweb | 140 | 75.3 |
The Social Impact Heroes of Social Media: “Listen to your intuition. Your heart knows the way.” with Larissa Lowthorp and Candice Georgiadis
.
As a part of my series about social media stars who are using their platform to make a significant social impact, I had the pleasure of interviewing Larissa Lowthorp is a design, entertainment and technology creative. She is the founder and president of TimeJump Media. In 2017, Larissa donated all of her belongings and hit the road with her beagle, her laptop and two suitcases of essentials to see what life had in store.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
Hi! I’m so glad to be able to be part of this series. Thank you for the opportunity. I really appreciate it and I think it’s great that you’re highlighting the positive ways that influencers are using their platforms for good.
I’ve been sharing my life online in one form or another since my early teens — so social networking was a natural extension of that.
It’s a way for me to mesh my widely disparate talents and interests into a unified persona. My vivid imagination and creativity fuels my drive to innovate for a better world.
I hope to serve as an inspiration to people with big dreams, to be an encouraging voice to those who have yet to uncover their passions to discover what makes their souls sing.
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t driven by a burning curiosity to learn everything imaginable about this universe, or a time when I wasn’t consumed with a need to create. I’ve always had a feeling that I’ve been put on this earth for reasons far bigger than myself, for reasons I don’t fully comprehend.
As a kid, I never fit in at school and I didn’t “get” it. For years, I was bullied for being different — for being myself. I went home in tears nearly every day. My classmates were downright cruel. At one point, the situation became so bad that I begged my parents to let me change school districts. When I was younger, bullying wasn’t under the spotlight as it is today, and the party line was, “kids can be like that.”
I’d fake being sick to avoid my classmates (pretty sure my mom was onto me). I missed weeks and months of school throughout the year, but I tested well — in the third-grade state-mandated aptitude test, I tested at the post-graduate level. Faculty and my parents recommended me to audit university classes but the request was denied due to my age.
It wasn’t until middle school that I began taking more advanced classes (this was only after I spent three weeks being intensively tested, yet again, to see if I belonged in what was then called “special ed.” At the time, my sister was in graduate school working toward her master’s degree in theology, and used me to practice her theorems and debates, and when I engaged the guidance counselor on a discourse about existential nihilism and Kierkegaard, she called my mom, who — I paraphrase — said “I told you so.”).
Even then, I never did my homework (didn’t see the point) and I got poor grades. My dad was of the mindset that I’d learn more out of the classroom and traveling with him, and I developed an insatiable wanderlust from a young age.
The fact that I did poorly in school didn’t mean I wasn’t continually learning — I devoured all the books I possible could and was reading from the library’s adult section from the middle of first grade. On my seventh birthday, my dad gave me an unabridged copy of one of his favorite books: The Fellowship of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. My mom said it was over my head and advised I set it aside for a few years. Just to prove her wrong, I read the entire novel from cover-to-cover and discussed it at length with my dad. My parents believed that learning was learning, and since I was always in discovery mode, they didn’t sweat my grades or attendance too much.
My original ideas and ability to think outside the box set me apart — and there was a long time when I didn’t fully embrace that, because I felt something was wrong with me.
I wish I could open the eyes of every young person out there who’s experiencing doubt or shame, to have them realize that who they are is beautiful — and to never feel the need to hide from what makes you unique. There isn’t one soul on this planet who’s born without a special gift or talent to offer the world — but too many people never discover what that is, or are afraid to share it. My older sister always encouraged me to become the best version of myself. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I’m very fortunate to have been blessed with a family who believes in my talents, even when they don’t always understand what drives me.
Since before I can remember, my creativity was my escape. Acting allowed me to become somebody else. Writing allowed me to think with different perspectives and put myself into the shoes of the people who tried to tear me down, and to have empathy for what others may be going through. I put my design eyes on anything and everything I could get my hands on.
When I was in tenth grade, I devised an elaborate plan to gain wide exposure, to start a company that did many different things, and to use my fame and fortune to re-invest it into my passion projects, those things that would fundamentally improve the foundations of people’s lives, and revolutionize the framework of the world at large. It seemed to me that all of the problems we faced couldn’t be that hard to solve. The money was there. The knowledge was there. So why wasn’t it already done? I figured that if wealthy people in power weren’t using their money and influence to improve things, I’d become rich and famous myself and do exactly that. So I continued acting, and I began to pick up work as a model.
As a teen, there was very little structure to the concept. It seemed impossible –for too long, I wrongly allowed naysayers and doubters to hold me back. My desire to change the world never left and it’s only grown stronger, particularly in recent years. I wanted to help my family. I wanted to change the world. I won’t stop until I have — and even then, I’ll keep going. It wasn’t until I met my boyfriend and discovered that we share the same visionary ideas about bettering people’s lives and the world at large that I began to open my soul to exploring this side of myself once again.
By the time social media came along, people began following my posts for insights on how I saw the world (different from others, apparently), tech anecdotes, and to see how I merged the IT with my artistic side. It’s allowed me great freedom to be able to express different facets of myself.
My parents were involved in technology and manufacturing. I was rebuilding computers with my dad and programming video games in Visual Basic from elementary school. I began web programming when I was in middle school and it became a hobby. When I was a broke college student, I began bartering design services for things like photographs, hair styling, you name it. I established a roster of freelance clients who later sent new business referrals.
I had to leave university after my dad got sick. I needed a way to quickly earn money to support myself and my family. Web design was the most lucrative talent I had, and I put it to work. You always hear that “art doesn’t pay the bills” and, at the time, I had no other resources available — I had to get creative and do what needed to be done in order to get by. Focusing on technology achieved that. Eviction and repossession notices had been sent… my dad was in ICU for two months before he passed away. My uncle provided support to us during that time. I’ll never forget the time I was speeding to the emergency room to be with him, and answered the phone in case it was his doctor. It was a debt collector — when I told him I couldn’t talk because I was on my way to see my dying father, he accused me of lying to avoid paying the debt.
I didn’t choose a technology career. It just happened. I ended up having a talent for it and eventually got a great corporate job. About six years ago, I realized that I felt stuck. I knew I couldn’t keep going. My creativity was being stifled. I’d become depressed. My energy wasn’t in alignment and I felt out of harmony with the universe. I listened. I became more involved in my fashion pursuits, and I re-ignited my interest in the film industry.
Following this, I wrote, produced and directed a short film which screened as part of the Cannes International Film Festival to critical acclaim. I began writing feature-length screenplays — one of which was written with my mom based on her original concept. Mom and I have always done artistic things together. She established my firm belief in spreading random acts of kindness wherever I go. My other screenplays are children’s fantasy features and dark comedy action thrillers. They’ve been well-received, praised by industry insiders for their rich imagination and originality, and are currently in development for theatrical release.
As I began traveling regularly and became more entrenched within the entertainment industry, I realized that having a 9–5 job wasn’t conducive to my life goals, and I changed directions on a wing and a prayer. I left my corporate job and began consulting full-time in 2015 while working toward getting my films off the ground and following my dreams. I decided to document the journey on Instagram. I didn’t know it at the time, but my move out of the corporate culture motivated others I worked with to do the same — including my manager at the time. I’m very thankful that my actions have inspired people to pursue their passions.
In 2017, things shifted and my life did a complete 180. I was feeling entirely unmoored. There were very few people in my life who were able to anchor and guide me. My boyfriend was one of those people, and it was with his encouragement that I founded TimeJump Media. He’d known that it was a stepping stone I’d envisioned toward much larger goals of making huge positive changes in the world and, having started his own business and charity organization in the past, he helped me navigate what I found to be an overwhelming process. He’s used his experience in the entertainment industry in full support of my goals. I’m very thankful for and blessed to have his continued encouragement.
I continue to document my life online and I’m operating in several different spheres –entertainment, fashion, tech, corporate, and moonlighting on passion projects of mine. I’ve got ADD in a bad way, so to me, this feels natural. I used to try and hide from what made me different, but I’ve come to realize that the people who are doing truly original things — they can’t have a map because it’s uncharted territory. What I can say is that I’ve been happiest when I’ve followed my heart and intuition. It’s never led me astray. Since becoming more involved with film, and documenting that as a social influencer, it’s seemed that my path forward illuminates just as I’m approaching a dark corner.
I’m trying to say “yes” to life! A heart open to abundance and possibility has taken me far — and I believe it can do so for anyone. YES, you have to work hard and NO it won’t always be easy — sometimes it’ll be exhausting and scary — but at the end of the day, can you say you did what you loved and left the world a little bit better than it was when you woke up? It doesn’t mean you’ll never face hardship or strife. It means that you overcome it.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began this career?
The most interesting story that happened to me since I began this career isn’t any one thing in particular. It’s been a chain-reaction series of choices and events over the years that have guided me toward this path, this moment.
I was fearful to embrace who I was, and my full potential, for most of my life. I had a tendency to minimize my accomplishments. My mind was full of ideas that were so revolutionary, so out of the ordinary, that, for the most part, I kept them entirely to myself. I didn’t think that anyone cared, or would understand. I’ve always been extremely artistic and imaginative. Throughout my life, teachers, friends, family, colleagues, and others have noted this, but when I was younger, all I wanted to be was normal. Except, that’s not why I’m here.
I spent years hiding this side of myself — trying to fit into a mold that wasn’t made for me. I was so consumed with being accepted and fearful of rejection that I lost myself. Having been there, I would urge any girls and young women out there — never do that. Yes, I know it’s so much easier said than done.
Life nudged me in the direction of a highly varied career path which allowed me the freedom to travel as I began expanding my brand and exploring my creative passions once more. This, and other life circumstances, led me — not entirely of my own design — to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2014, and while there, I experienced a sense of calm and peace that was entirely unfamiliar, but very refreshing. I was finally beginning to be myself and follow my heart. I didn’t have any business being there — I couldn’t afford it. The entire affair was supremely impractical but I wanted to see what happened. I told myself that best case scenario, new doors would open, and worst case scenario, I had a vacation on the French Riviera! Win-win, right? I finally felt a calling — and had a deep inner knowledge, which came from somewhere beyond myself, that I had to pursue it, no matter what.
It was very impractical and highly inadvisable to quit my corporate job, but I had an overwhelming sense that it was something I had to do — no matter the risks. It was scary and exhilarating at the same time. However, I still didn’t commit to it fully. Over the the course of the next couple of years, a chain of events just kind of unfolded which led me to this moment.
I was no longer resisting the universe — I was going with it and despite all logical reasoning to the contrary, things just seemed to work out the way they were supposed to and it finally seemed like I was on the path meant for me — when before, it had always seemed forced.
Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
One of my early clients was a best-selling author. I priced out his project far lower than market value and spent time well above and beyond to get it right for him. He was an insomniac and would call me in the middle of the night, then send me rant-filled emails for not being available 24/7. He told me that he’d like to put me in contact with his marketing manager and set up a three-way conference call. A few minutes into the call, they disagreed about something and it turned into a full-on screaming match!
I later learned that the author’s marketing manager was his ex-wife. He insisted on having conference calls with her and I endured more screaming between the two of them. I didn’t know whether or not to speak up, so stayed on the line and listened to them rehash their dirty laundry.
I learned the importance of speaking up and asserting yourself. I learned to never under-value the worth of yourself or your work — nobody else will do it for you. I learned this the hard way as there have been a number of times in the past when people took my ideas and passed them off as their own, taking full credit without acknowledgement.
In years past, I was far too timid when this happened. I was hesitant and didn’t want to rock the boat, to hurt anyone’s feelings, or to make anyone mad at me. The result was that there were times when I didn’t speak up when I should have, particularly for those ideas that were truly transformative and served to catapult the reputations and careers of others, which kept me back.
There are always more ideas to be had and you have to keep looking forward. I’ve always spoken up for the rights of others, but it’s taken a lot of effort to make speaking up for myself a habit.
If you don’t speak up for yourself, people will walk all over you. Someone once told me, “you have to teach people how to treat you” and there’s a lot of truth in that.
Ok super. Let’s now jump to the core focus of our interview. Can you describe to our readers how you are using your platform to make a significant social impact?
Historically, I’ve used my platform to share the things that matter to me — whether it’s what I’m doing throughout the day, funny or interesting things I see, things I like, dislike, or find amusing. Over time, that’s evolved into sharing my perspectives and opinions on a variety of things. That’s what my audience loves — I provide inspiration to see the world in a different way. I was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal and discuss the importance of understanding your audience — but it begins with an understanding of yourself.
I’m leveraging my social channels to raise awareness and amplify my message about my incredible new organization, FemmePower. FemmePower is dedicated to the support and empowerment of current and future female business owners, entrepreneurs, and micro-entrepreneurs throughout the world and from all walks of life.
FemmePower will become a crowd-resourced organization with a global reach. We work with female entrepreneurs establish business plans, connect with likeminded business partners and supporting services, obtain financing and micro-financing, craft promotional strategies, educate women on the basics of business ownership, and secure access to foundational elements such as materials or inventory. We connect women to women and to like-minded industry veterans in the role of mentors and coaches to provide guidance and answer questions.
We’ll connect female entrepreneurs to free, low-cost and accessible tools to drive sustained success. We’ll provide access to financing, opportunities for education, business knowledge, basic financing skills and meet women wherever they are in life and in the world to formulate viable plans to financial security, and independence.
By empowering women, FemmePower strengthens families and communities.
We provide tailored services to under-served, minority, and marginalized female business owners and entrepreneurs-to-be globally with an aim to permanently lift women and their families from poverty.
We serve women in transition by supporting female refugees, survivors of trafficking, forced labor, domestic abuse, and enslavement, and their families, by nurturing growth from strong new roots to a place of independence and financial security via business ownership. We aid women experiencing life transitions to pave the path to security and success.
FemmePower shall provide coaching and small business ownership classes online and in local communities. We work to build literacy and financial competency. We shall seek and find creative ways for women living in repressed conditions to shape their lives via business ownership in a way that seeks to minimize the risk of societal or political repercussion.
We believe that all women have the right to education, lifelong happiness, security, and independence.
Female entrepreneurs face a number of barriers to business ownership at all levels even as they become business owners at a higher rate than ever. Most of these female entrepreneurs are small business owners or micro-entrepreneurs.
FemmePower seeks to support these endeavours and to nurture their growth. Women have a worldwide historical pattern of obtaining employment in low-skilled, labor-intensive industries that consign their role to a societally-predetermined profession that’s seen as being appropriate for women. This practice undermines educational achievement, perpetuates cultural stereotypes, and truncates upward mobility.
Additionally, in a 2000 report, Worldbank found that gender relations plays a key dynamic in female business ownership . Worldbank reports that in Vietnam. there is a correlation between higher rates of abuse and households where women earn a higher income than their husbands, or are the family’s main income earner.
Worldbank also notes that although the Philippines has a higher proportion of female college graduates than male, women have little in the way of career mobility and are more often seen in production operator positions while more men are working as technicians or engineers.
There are a number of near-universal challenges faced by women entrepreneurs which are driven by a lack of education and insufficient access to resources. Female business owners have inadequate access to financial and credit services, insufficient connectivity, communications and information, and a drought of financial and business management skills. Large-scale efforts and major infrastructure changes are required to support women entrepreneurs, including through access to small loans, markets, and training. FemmePower seeks to remove these obstacles by equipping women with the tools they need in order to establish a viable path toward job and income security.
Women living in transition economies are particularly vulnerable to shrinking social sector services and market competition. Women around the globe impacted by the so-called “motherhood penalty” with little regard to economic status or race. For example, a survey conducted in China’s Shanxi province found that one fifth of women workers had suffered job losses in some regions and industries, with childbearing responsibilities listed as one of the main reasons for the lay-offs (Cooke 2001). To offset income insecurity and wage gaps, many women in Vietnam are forced to take on multiple jobs, with almost a quarter of women being both self-employed and engaged in wage work (ADB 2002). Women should never be put in the position of having to choose between motherhood and career. Business ownership affords women the opportunity to make educated choices in both their personal and professional lives.
Wow! Can you tell us a story about a particular individual who was impacted by this cause?
All women are impacted by this cause. FemmePower exists to empower existing business owners as they seek to begin, improve and grow. We’re here to support those interested in exploring business ownership learn more and get their dreams off the ground. For those who are lost and seeking their way, we can provide insight. We are the next step in the journey forward for women emerging from crisis situations and entering a rebuilding phase of their lives. For women living in vulnerable and repressed situations, our trusted network will aid in your efforts to achieve autonomy in a safe and discreet manner.
Was there a tipping point the made you decide to focus on this particular area? Can you share a story about that?
Here’s what I’d like to know. Once you have that exposure, once you have people who are interested in your causes, in your life, and in keeping pace with the things you’re doing and want to accomplish — how can you empower those followers to turn around and do good themselves? What’s the point of being a celebrity or having a large following if you don’t use it to full effect to improve the world?
Money, fame, vanity, and material possessions are all fleeting and will not leave a lasting footprint on history. In order to effect real change, one must be willing to put themselves out there, to risk things that others would not, and to take chances that haven’t been tried before. It requires a lot of guts, creativity, and persistence. Because you will fail, and you’ll fail a lot. As long as you learn from your mistakes, they’re never missed opportunities. Keep on going. I’ve made more mistakes than I can count, and I make new ones every day.
My career path has been anything but straightforward. I’ve always been extremely artistic, to the point where my math teacher told my mom that I was the best artist he’d ever had in class (I doodled all over my assignments and turned them in full of sketches of elaborate fantasy worlds and missing the answers). Art is my life, and I always knew I wanted to do something creative — but it wasn’t practical and I didn’t know where to begin.
From high school, I had a nebulous idea of starting one large company that did a lot of different things. I dreamed that at some point, my company would be making enough money and become well-known enough that I could use it as a platform to do what I really wanted to do — to foster a positive, worldwide transformation and work toward eradication of unnecessary problems such as poverty, hunger, lack of education, and conflict. Whatever was already being done wasn’t enough — and I didn’t understand why, because the resources are already there, they just weren’t being utilized. It was painfully clear.
But how? I was paralyzed. There are so many excellent charities and organizations out there that are doing wonderful things. I wanted my organization to be more than just one of many — my hope was for whatever I did to fill a real gap and really improve people’s lives in a sustainable way. I spent years trying to think of what that could be. I saw major problems in the world — but had a hard time identifying them for what they were or effecting a real way to change things and so I put it to the back of my mind. It stayed there for years.
I’d effectively run and operated businesses since I was a teenager (my parents were entrepreneurs and were very encouraging — plus it got me out of the house. I could be a pretty annoying kid.)
More recently, however, getting TimeJump off the ground posed new challenges — and it was a larger endeavor than I’d previously tried. I wanted to do it right. I wanted to set this up to sustain me for years to come because I was tired of spinning my wheels and doing the same thing every day. I didn’t want to keep building other people’s dreams for them. It was time to build mine, and to make a difference.
I frequently encountered dead ends which required me to come up with creative work-arounds. Banks were reluctant finance a small business without an established track record. This presented a paradox, because without that track record, I was unable to access resources required to grow, and lacking that, I was unable to service my niche as fully as I’d envisioned. It’s been a heavy learning curve, and very difficult at times. FemmePower will use and expand upon my experience to make things easier for other female business owners so they can focus on the things that matter most in their lives.
Although I emerged from a background of abuse (in various forms), this will never define me — even as it shapes who I am and how my endeavors will change the world for the better. Throughout this journey, I found very limited resources available to underpin long-term success. I defied the odds, despite every obstacle thrown in my path — things that would stop almost anyone else — and I plan to continue to defy the odds and stand up for what’s right for as long as I live. I don’t believe people ever want to give up — they encounter insurmountable hurdles. What if those hurdles could be removed?
I recently woke up one day and all of this had gelled in my mind to create FemmePower. The idea was fully formed and I couldn’t rest until I’d taken action on it. The idea came from beyond me. It was this amazing calling from God that I couldn’t get out of my head. I knew I had to pursue it. My journey away from abuse, and toward becoming a successful artist, technology executive, creative, and female entrepreneur, could be tapped to serve a much wider role and to fill a very real missing link in the pipeline toward achieving lasting autonomy, security and financial independence for other women — no matter what one’s life circumstances may be.
FemmePower is a resource providing aid to women from all walks of life, grow viable businesses, establish reachable goals, and to challenge themselves to do better.
Human trafficking and safely removing individuals from of hostage situations is an issue near and dear to my heart. Trafficked women can become inadvertently involved in the trafficking pipeline while they were trying to find gainful employment to lift their families from poverty. Many accepted (false) job offers to work overseas which were a bait-and-switch, and realized too late that the job was entirely different than what was promised, involving forced prostitution or other de-humanizing and illegal activities. Their captors cut trafficked individuals off from their families (or they’re forced to check-in with their families and fraudulently report health and happiness to fly under the radar) and, avoid return (when it is even possible — many have their identities stripped and passports taken) for fear of causing shame to their families or the societal repercussions they may face. Captors use both physical and emotional torture and manipulation tactics to gain compliance.
By seeking new opportunities and financial independence, these women became involved in something nefarious, and there are limited resources available to these individuals after a crisis has passed. Recovery and emotional and psychological rehabilitation is a lifelong process. There is an uphill battle of legal issues, particularly when they’ve been forced to perform illegal activities such as drug trafficking, organized crime, and prostitution — and this, in part, can be a major barrier to rebuilding their lives. As survivors enter the next phase of their lives, with robust support, their entrepreneurial spirit can be re-awakened and nurtured into a viable path toward a better life.
Survivors face tremendous psychological impact, and PTSD, anxiety, depression and substance abuse can result. FemmePower will work hand-in-hand with mental health professionals and legal case workers to aid in the healing and rebuilding process.
Society at large needs to shift their mindset from classifying survivors as victims, and work together to support these women as they pave sustainable paths to gainful careers. Trauma psychology plays a key role, and FemmePower will work with mental heath professionals serving survivors to nurture, support and cultivate the ability to thrive for life via business ownership for those who wish to pursue that path. FemmePower is a step toward the future for women emerging from vulnerable and at-risk situations. We foster social rehabilitation and re-integration via business ownership.
We will operate a network of vetted and trusted business ownership proxies for women living in repressive conditions worldwide who are working to establish secure and long-term exit plans.
FemmePower works hand-in-hand with crisis organizations such as Gino McKoy’s Kinder Krisis to provide long-range aid to women and their families after safe environs have been established. FemmePower is designed to support women and their families as they enter the next phase of their lives looking toward a bright future. We’ll lay a network of roots throughout the world promoting freedom of education, free exchange of resources, positive change and growth. FemmePower shall work in tandem with organizations throughout the world who are already involved in their local communities to ensure that we have a positive cultural impact.
FemmePower’s icon is the lotus flower because it is born of the dark and comes from mud. This symbolizes the journey of the female entrepreneur. There are universal truths and challenges that all women business owners have in common with one another no matter where they came from, or where they’re going.
The transformative power of the lotus has special meaning to me . I was born in July, my birth flower is the water lily (lotus) and my life has ebbed and flowed like the tides with phases of the moon — blossoming, fading and blooming again into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. The lotus is a symbol of hope and enlightenment, which is what FemmePower provides.
Are there three things the community/society/politicians can do help you address the root of the problem you are trying to solve?
Yes, absolutely! Everyone can become involved with FemmePower. Strong women build strong communities. I’d love to hear from other women business owners who would like to become involved in our outreach and mentorship programme and inspire others.
I’d also love to hear from people willing to invest and finance women in business, from micro-loans all the the way to more substantial financing efforts. Access to credit is a key issue that women business owners face when attempting to grow their companies and when attempting to source inventory or materials. I love Kiva’s model of social financing and hope to implement something similar, or work directly with Kiva, Grameen Bank, and other local financiers and angel investors who would be willing to support women in business. I hope to speak with attorneys who are willing to provide low-cost or pro-bono services to female start-ups, and with people who want to work with our clients hands-on. Anyone who is interested in becoming involved in our network of mentors, people willing to volunteer their time and space on their feed to draw awareness, and as a way to highlight inspirational success stories of other female enterpreneurs.
Politicians can take real action beyond vocal advocacy and enforce anti-trafficking laws and ensure that women facing criminal charges as a result of their situation receive immunity from legal as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives. We can earmark more federal grants, scholarships, and money to get new female owned and operated businesses off the ground and plan for long-term success.
Female business owners who would like to be interviewed and profiled on the FemmePower website and social channels, please reach out! I love to share inspiring stories.
What specific strategies have you been using to promote and advance this cause? Can you recommend any good tips for people who want to follow your lead and use their social platform for a social good?
FemmePower is quite new. Things are just getting off the ground and reception so far has been incredibly promising. I’m so excited about this and I hope you will be, too. I’m using a grassroots social media strategy and pointing people to the website () as a starting point. The first thing I’d like to do to advance the cause is to raise awareness via social media (I’ve already started on Instagram at) about challenges women in business face at all levels, across industries, cultures, races and professions. I’ve been on a fact-finding and sharing mission to raise the voice of the cause. I’m first connecting with localized resources that are already in place to advance female business ownership and other like-minded influencers. I’ll then leverage my primary social media accounts to highlight our efforts and our progress. This is a journey and I want to take you with.
My biggest tip for anyone who’d like to follow my lead and use your social platform for good is to do it! You have a voice — raise it. Your followers watch you for a reason — there is something that makes them feel connected to you and interested in your life, your views. There’s no good deed too small. There are so many eyes on your feeds, why not take the time out of your day to inspire somebody? You never know when that will make all the difference for them to keep going. But don’t use it as your only method — get out there and get your hands dirty, meet others, never stop expanding your network and horizons because you never know what amazing door will open next.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why? Please share a story or example for each.
To be honest, if someone had told me five things when I first started, I probably wouldn’t have. I’ve always had to learn things the hard way, and experience it for myself. It’s a chief complaint of my family and boyfriend. At times they get to say “I told you so” but had I not learned to follow my heart and intuition, I wouldn’t be where I’m at now, I wouldn’t have had the incredible experiences I’ve had thus far and I wouldn’t have the guts to create an endeavor like FemmePower.

2. Be vocal! Talk to everyone about what you’re doing — don’t be afraid to toot your own horn. It used to be that I was shy and reserved to share my ideas and what I’m working on — but whenever I have, it’s had an overwhelmingly positive result. Not everyone will be receptive or supportive to what you’re doing, and that’s okay. It’s all about awareness — the more people who know, the larger your potential network becomes.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I tend to be very independently-minded and, in the past, was reluctant to trouble people and had thought that reaching out for guidance and support was a sign I wasn’t competent, when in fact, it’s the opposite. Everyone needs support and those learnings will expand your horizons. Everyone starts somewhere. My knowledge is nothing compared to the vastness of the universe — we need to rely on one another. Most people will be eager to help and, when possible, offer to connect you with others or share knowledge they have to share.
4. Be true to yourself. Don’t let others define you. This seems like an over-shared platitude, but I think it’s so popular because it’s far easier said than done. In my life — past and present — I’ve encountered a lot of people who wanted to pigeon-hole me into focusing on just one thing, when the truth is, that I’ve been tremendously unhappy when I’ve tried. The truth is that I’m multi-faceted in talents and interests, and my truth is to live them all. They all exist in harmony for me. Even as I’ve been building out my social network, the major advice is to narrow focus to one thing — but that’s just not me. Initial feedback for TimeJump Media was dubious and many advised me to narrow the focus. I seriously considered it — I didn’t want to take the wrong steps. But in the end, I’ve got to do what vibes with my perspective and when that is aligned, I have seen that things fall into place — even when it seems to be against all odds. It’s amazing to see.
5. Don’t take things personally and be adaptable. The arts are a fickle place to be. It is highly unpredictable — you never know what will catch on or what will sink. An artist’s output is highly subjective, and (I can’t speak for other artists) for me, everything I create is tied to a piece of my identity. When somebody responds poorly to something I’ve made, it feels like a piece of me is torn away. My moods are extremely mercurial. I used to focus on one negative comment out of many, many positive ones and let put me into a funk for days. I’ve had to learn to recognize that their opinions aren’t a refection of who I am or the value of my work or worth as a person. An artist’s role is to get people to react, and those reactions come in many forms. You can’t take it personally or it could destroy you. People’s reactions to your creativity are a reflection of themselves and their own worldview, not of you.
You are a person of enormous influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. :-)
My long-term goal and the next phase of FemmePower is to develop a global “underground railroad” of sorts to aid women seeking to exit repressive regimes. This will be network of allies who are willing and able to help women living in such conditions bring themselves and their families to safety — across borders if necessary — and to seek asylum where they can rebuild their lives and find a new equilibrium of normal as they look toward the future — but most of all, to be free, and happy.
If I could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, it would be a movement to freely share knowledge. Everyone has a special knowledge and in-depth understanding of everything in this world. The Internet has been such an amazing development because it provides a vast amount of knowledge across the world. But there’s still a cost to accessing the web. It frequently costs to get online — not everyone has access to a public library or free wi-fi. The barrier to entry is literacy. If you’re unable to read, you find limited value in it.
With a global free mind-exchange, I would connect people to like-minded people in a knowledge-transfer network in which they can tap into that exchange of resources and be able to communicate with experts on any subject in an accessible way. It could be face-to-face. It could be online. It could be in written letters, over the phone, or via any other means. There’s still a separation between online life and off — if there were a way to meld and merge these into a truly free pool of human intelligence, how much more powerful and well-off would the human race be?
I’ve had incredible opportunities to speak with many people, and every single one of them has had fabulous ideas about something — how to improve things, how to change things, how to simplify things, how to connect ideas that aren’t readily apparent. Despite advances in connectivity over the past 25 years, people still have trouble getting their ideas out, and sharing their expertise. Access to education is limited and expensive. Student loan debt is crippling generations of Americans. Why? Knowledge can be free — and we are all enriched by its exchange. It’s already there but we aren’t harnessing its full potential.
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?
Nah — life lessons for me aren’t found in Pinterest quotes. At times, I’ll share ones I find to be meaningful and articulate my life philosphophy — but if you’re getting your life lessons from memes, you’re not living!
Go out there, open your heart, your mind and your soul to the beauty and abundance the universe has to offer. It’s out there. You can find it. Stop over-thinking and allow yourself to vibe with the universe. No matter what you’ve faced or are facing — live life to the fullest. Fail frequently and use those mistakes and failures to rise higher in the future. I’m here to tell you: You have boundless possibilities living within you — even if they haven’t been unlocked yet.
Is there a person in the world, or in the US whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch with, and why? He or she might just see this, especially if we tag them. :-)
I’d love to have a private breakfast or lunch with my sister Pauline, who was adopted as an infant. I’ve never met her. She was born in Ottumwa, Iowa on February 11th, 1967. Her birth name was Pauline Lee Neff. It was a closed adoption managed by American Home Finding Association. We’ve been searching for her for years. We don’t know the name of her adoptive family, her current name or the name she was raised with, where she was raised or is living now. We don’t even know if she knows she was adopted or would want to find us. But Pauline — if you’re reading this, we love you and think of you every day. If anyone out there has leads about who she might be or how to connect, I’d be tremendously thankful if you could get in touch!

Static Assets
Every website needs assets: images, stylesheets, favicons etc. In such cases, you can create a directory named
static at the root of your project.
Every file you put into that directory will be copied into the root of the generated
build folder with the directory hierarchy preserved. E.g. if you add a file named
sun.jpg to the static folder, it will be copied to
build/sun.jpg.
This means that:
- for site
baseUrl: '/', the image
/static/img/docusaurus.pngwill be served at
/img/docusaurus.png.
- for site
baseUrl: '/subpath/', the image
/static/img/docusaurus.pngwill be served at
/subpath/img/docusaurus.png.
#Referencing your static asset
You can reference assets from the
static folder in your code using absolute paths, but this is not ideal because changing the site
baseUrl will break those links.
You can
import /
require() the static asset (recommended), or use the
useBaseUrl utility function: both prepend the
baseUrl to paths for you.
#JSX example
You can also import SVG files: they will be transformed into React components.
#Markdown example
Markdown links and images referencing assets of the static folder will be converted to
require("@site/static/assetName.png")", and the site baseUrl will be automatically prepended for you.
Thanks to MDX, you can also use
useBaseUrl utility function in Markdown files! You'd have to use html tags like
<img> instead of the Markdown image syntax though. The syntax is exactly the same as in JSX.
#Caveats
Keep in mind that:
- By default, none of the files in
staticfolder will be post-processed, hashed or minified.
- Missing files referenced via hardcoded absolute paths will not be detected at compilation time, and will result in a 404 error.
- By default, GitHub Pages runs published files through Jekyll. Since Jekyll will discard any files that begin with
_, it is recommended that you disable Jekyll by adding an empty file named
.nojekyllfile to your
staticdirectory if you are using GitHub pages for hosting. | http://deploy-preview-4756--docusaurus-2.netlify.app/docs/2.0.0-alpha.74/static-assets | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | refinedweb | 329 | 65.73 |
Is there a way to intercept all (or almost all) keyboard events in a given view with a plugin?
It seems that Vintage just rebinds keys if settings.command_mode is set to true. But what if I want to process it all?
Is generating an enormous .sublime-keymap my only option?
I don't have an answer, but a similar problem. Vintage seems to eat my "enter" events in a specific view. I have the following in my Default.sublime-keymap for my plugin:
{
"command": "gdb_edit_register",
"keys": "enter"],
"context": {"key": "gdb_running"}, {"key": "gdb_register_view"}]
},
{
"command": "gdb_edit_variable",
"keys": "enter"],
"context": {"key": "gdb_running"}, {"key": "gdb_variables_view"}]
},
and in my EventListener:
class GdbEventListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_query_context(self, view, key, operator, operand, match_all):
print "key: %s" % key
if key == "gdb_running":
return is_running()
elif key == "gdb_variables_view":
print "querying gdb_variables_view"
return gdb_variables_view.is_open() and view.id() == gdb_variables_view.get_view().id()
elif key == "gdb_register_view":
print "querying gdb_register_view"
return gdb_register_view.is_open() and view.id() == gdb_register_view.get_view().id()
print "unknown query: %s" % key
return None
With sublime.log_commands(True) I get this when pressing enter in the register view:
key: gdb_running
key: gdb_variables_view
querying gdb_variables_view
command: set_motion {"motion": "move", "motion_args": {"by": "lines", "extend": true, "forward": true}}
So "gdb_register_view" is never queried, but "gdb_variables_view" is... Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks
You know that bindings are all collected into one big array from all the keymaps in the order of Default/PackageA ... PackageZ/User?
Default/PackageA ... PackageZ/User
They are then matched in reverse order, User/PackageZ...PackageA/Default, taking the first that matches.
User/PackageZ...PackageA/Default
>>> 'V' > 'S'
True
Vintage comes after SublimeGDB in the load order, so will be matched against first.
{ "keys": "enter"], "command": "set_motion", "args": {
"motion": "move",
"motion_args": {"by": "lines", "forward": true, "extend": true }},
"context": {"key": "setting.command_mode"}]
},
Your views must have command_mode set somehow? You are using Vintage or the plugin sets it? I looked over your code and it doesn't use command_mode so I'm guessing you use Vintage with "vintage_start_in_command_mode": true? That setting mostly effects files on_load, which I don't think would kick in for scratch views but I guess the following code, would put ALL files into command_mode.
command_mode
"vintage_start_in_command_mode": true
on_load
class InputStateTracker(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def __init__(self):
for w in sublime.windows():
for v in w.views():
if v.settings().get("vintage_start_in_command_mode"):
v.settings().set('command_mode', True)
Your plugin keeps the panels between sessions?
querying gdb_variables_view
That's quite odd. I can't really make sense of that at the moment. I always thought the binding matching was synchronous. ie, the on_query_context wouldn't be callled until it was required. With your bindings being below the Vintage binding in the stack, ("in my Default.sublime-keymap for my plugin") I dunno why it's callled at all.
Anyway, I'd try putting your bindings inside the User/Default.sublime-keymap file. That should take priority over Vintage then. If the bindings work then, you might have to consider renaming your package if you don't want people to have to manually move the bindings into their User keymap (and maintain them between updates)

I'm using Vintage and command "vintage_start_in_command_mode": true in my user settings. Since my plugin "owns" the views created (and they are all non-editable), doing v.settings().set('command_mode', False) works perfectly fine for my use case.
That gdb_variables_view is queried but gdb_register_view isn't is odd indeed...
Thanks for your help!

I was wondering about that. Wasn't sure what you were actually using enter for, or, being that you are a Vintage user, if you might need the Vintage binding.
A head scratcher. Used to think I had reasonable grip on how the bindings worked. Now, I have to go and rethink my life

No it didn't. Everything in the internet is designed to be distributed. There is no reason why you can't have multiple DNS trees. If one maps aaa.example.com to 192.168.0.1 and the other maps it to 192.222.0.1 nothing breaks. They are just different namespaces. Go ahead and yell and scream that every domain must map to one and only one IP but the truth is that it doesn't. The internet would still function, just differently then some people expect it to. Obviously if I want to follow a link on your web page then I need to follow it in your namespace, but that's an implementation detail.
ISPs already know that multiple namespaces don't break anything. Why do you think they're all cashing in on NXDOMAIN pages?
Many companies do split horizon DNS. Internal address lookups give different views than external ones, and sometimes the same domain has different addresses.
So if an alternate DNS shows up that returns the same results as the ICANN DNS except it doesn't block access to sites that the US Gov doesn't like, then what's the problem? And if it creates a new TLD and sells addresses for half the cost of the
.com addresses, what's the problem with that? People using the legacy DNS won't see the blocked addresses or the new addresses, but nothing bad happens to them.

Users want namespaces that point them to the correct place, so that somebody can say "I'm at thisdomain.com" and anybody in the world can use it, and "users" includes both the owners of the name and people using that name to retrieve content.

The transit providers like to know where to send the bill for the bandwidth used by an IP block and peering exchanges like to enforce their rules. IP blocks are assigned to people and companies that can change locations and provi

Hi,
I am working on a program that asks a user to enter a # between 1 to 50 and finds the factorial of that. It uses recursive function to find it.
Here is what I got so far:
Its not working, can some please help me solve this problem.Its not working, can some please help me solve this problem.Code:include <iostream> using namespace std; //function prototypes int getNum(); int fact(int); void printResult(int, int); int main() { int num; int ans; num = getNum(); ans = fact(num); printResult(num, ans); cout << endl << endl; } int getNum() { int num; cout << "\nEnter a number:"; cin >> num; return num; } int fact(int num) { if (num == 0) return 1; else return num * fact(num - 1); } void printResult(int num, int ans) { cout <<"\nfactorial of" << num << "is : " << ans; }

This module aims to be a very fast compatible strict sub-set for simple cases, such as basic client-side caching for DBD::Gofer.
Like Cache::Memory, and other caches in the Cache and Cache::Cache distributions, the data will remain in the cache until cleared, it expires, or the process dies. The cache object simply going out of scope will not destroy the data.
All options except

Introduction: Alexa Ruxpin - Arduino & Raspberry Pi Powered Voice Assistant ;-)
Step 1: Who's Your Teddy?
As the vessel for our virtual assistant, I chose an old Teddy Ruxpin bear. In its original condition, it had a speaker, tape player, and moving mouth and eyes that would move to the tape player audio. So it's a perfect platform for adding Alexa. I got mine off E-bay, but unfortunately it was completely non-functional, so before we can turn this into the ultimate Alexa-bot, we first need to find out why it's broken and try to get it working again.
Step 2: Diagnosing the Patient
With absolutely zero knowledge of how the Teddy Ruxpin works, I turned to my external brain drive (the internet) for answers on where to start. I found out that there were three versions of the original teddy, so before I could troubleshoot it, I needed to find out which version I had. The chart below shows how you can tell which version of the teddy you have. Version 1 had a metal tape player and a green circuit board, version 2 had a plastic tape player and a green circuit board, and version 3 had a plastic tape player and a beige circuit board.
So unscrewing the tape player on the back of the teddy, it revealed that I had a plastic tape player with a green circuit board i.e. version 2.
With this knowledge, I found schematics online showing how the motors that move the eyes and mouth were connected. Finding that the red and blue wires on each motor were for power, I stripped them and connected them to a 9v battery to see if there was any movement in the motors. Nothing. These servos are dead dead. That means we're going to have to dig deeper and replace the servos all together.
Step 3: Digging Deeper
To get to the servos and replace them, we have to open up the head of the Teddy Ruxpin. Just above the volume knob on the back of the Teddy, there should be a seam on the shirt that you can cut apart. This should allow you to slide the shirt and skin over the head exposing the foam skill. The foam skull is glued to the bear, so you can use a knife to separate it and remove it. At this point, you should now see the servos that make this bear come alive! There should be 3 servos for versions 1 & 2 of the bear and 2 servos for version 3.
Step 4: Upgrading the Servos
Once I was able to get to the servos, I tested them again and found that they were completely dead. So I decided to just replace them with newer servos. I wanted to retain the rubber wheel and gear fixture, however, because this is what keeps the servo mounted inside the head and turns the facial expressions. What I ended up doing was removing the motor and most of the gears, salvaging the last gear to mount atop a new servo. I then positioned this new servo and gear so that it turned the wheel. Then I used a Dremel to shape the plastic casing so that the new servo would fit. Then I just hot glued everything in place. Before continuing I tested out the servo by connecting it to an Arduino and then loading up the Servo Sweep sample code. It worked perfectly! So after doing the same thing for the remaining servos, I put them all back inside the head.
The wires for the new servos needed to run from the head, through neck into the body, so I had to solder some extra wire to make the wires from each servo longer. Then I ran them through to the body (making sure they were all labeled so that I knew which motor each set of wires controlled), and then I put the Teddy Ruxpin back together.
Step 5: Syncing Audio to Motor Movements
With new servo's, I'm also going to add a new Microcontroller to the Teddy. As previously mentioned, the microcontroller of choice is Arduino. Controlling a single servo with an Arduino is simple. You just connect the ground wire to Arduino ground, power to Arduino power, and the data wire to one of pins 9-13. Controlling three servos requires a bit more planning, however, because the Arduino can't power those servos on its own.
So to wire everything together, I used the diagram below and I used a 9v battery in the demo, and then a 5v external power supply later on to power the servos.
Now for the tricky part...syncing the servos with an audio source. It's tricky because general audio uses analog signals, but the servo movement requires digital signals. Luckily, the Arduino makes this conversion pretty simple. To get an audio signal, I cut the ear buds off some old headphones and stripped the wires. I connected the ground wire (usually blue, black or green) to the Arduino ground pin, and the signal wire (usually red) to the Arduino analog pin A0. I added an LED to pin 13 and ground to help visualize if things were working.
I then soldered everything to a homemade Arduino shield that included an audio input jack and an extra 5v USB jack to power the servo motors separately (see above image). The extra ground wire coming from the shield goes to a Raspberry Pi that we will be covering in the next step.
Then the conversion can be done in code. You can download my Alexa Ruxpin code from this github page. Basically it takes the audio input and says that if it is below a certain value, open the mouth slightly. If it is above a certain value, open the mouth more. So now you can plug in any audio source and the mouth should move in sync to the audio signal, and the eyes should blink every 15 seconds.
Step 6: Connecting the Raspberry Pi
With the bear now moving in response to an audio source, we can work on adding a virtual assistant component. This generally requires some sort of computing mechanism, so what better to use than the small, hacker friendly, Raspberry Pi 3.
What we're wanting to do is use the Pi to activate Alexa (through a push-button) so that we can ask it a question and it gives us a response through the movements and speaker of the Teddy Ruxpin. So obviously there are a few pieces of hardware we need to make this work. First is a USB Microphone to record our audio and second is some wire and a push button.
In order to use the built in speaker to the bear, we first need to solder the wires to a male audio jack so that we can plug it in. So what we can do is use a headphone splitter to plug into the Pi and have one jack going to the speaker and the other going to the Arduino.
After plugging in the USB Microphone, you can connect the button by running one wire to a Raspberry Pi ground pin, and one to the GPIO18 pin. You'll also want to connect a different ground pin to a ground pin on the Arduino. At this point, you can boot the Pi up to the Raspbian OS, connect it to wifi and give it a static IP address.
Step 7: Adding Alexa
Now that the Pi's set up, let's install the A.I. software. The popular options are Siri, Ok Goole and Alexa. I decided to go with Amazon's Alexa service because it can easily be installed on a Raspberry Pi.
To install Alexa on the Pi, you first need to set up an Amazon Developer account for Alexa by following these steps:
- Login to developer.amazon.com with your Amazon account
- Click on the "Alexa" tab at the top and choose the "Alexa Voice Service Get Started" button.
- Under "Register A Product Type" choose "Device".
- Give your new program a type id (any name should do) and a display name and the click "Next".
- Create a new security profile and give it a name.
- Select the "Web Settings" tab and click "Edit".
- Under "Allowed Origins" add these values (if you know them):
-
- http://[your Pi's P address]:5000
-
- http://[your Pi's IP address]:5000/code
Now you can boot up your Raspberry Pi and install the Amazon Alexa software. You could go with the official software, but I decided to go with an easier python based fork called "Alexa Pi". Here's how you set it up.
- From your Pi's command line, clone the repository
- git clone
- Navigate to the folder and edit "creds.py"
- cd AlexaPi
- nano creds.py
- python auth_web.py
- sudo nano etc/rc.local
- python home/pi/AlexaPi/main.py &
After your Pi reboots, Alexa should automatically start.
Step 8: It's Alive!
For the last steps, I ended up mounting the button in an easily accessible place on the back of the bear, placed all the electronics inside the bear, and powered everything up using USB power banks. Once it's up and running, just press the button, ask Alexa a question, and listen to/watch the response! Check out the demo below!

You have probably spent too much time watching Chuckie movies and the like . I did not find this creepy at all. On the contrary, I thought this project was "cute".
The information contained here is useful, and i think this is a very cool project.
BTW if you want creepy, animate the head and limbs. No one who remembers Mr. Ruxpin will expect that.

Pretty cool instructable, but why not just hijack the audio from an
alexa dot and avoid the raspi? This would also give you voice control
through the Alexa command.

If I had an official Alexa device, I definitely would've just done that, but I just decided to make my own. Despite that, I think having an "always listening" Teddy Ruxpin bear would make it even creepier :-)

This is incredible, I had no idea you could put Alexa on a Rasberry Pi, definitely doing this soon. Great work!

Create a package for Windows¶
Note
This document only applies for kivy
1.9.1 and greater.
Packaging your application for the Windows platform can only be done inside the Windows OS. The following process has been tested on Windows with the Kivy wheels installation, see at the end for alternate installations.
The package will be either 32 or 64 bits depending on which version of Python you ran it with.
Requirements¶
-
Latest Kivy (installed as described in Installation on Windows).
-
PyInstaller 3.1+ (
pip install --upgrade pyinstaller).
PyInstaller default hook¶
This section applies to PyInstaller (>= 3.1) that includes the kivy hooks. To overwrite the default hook the following examples need to be slightly modified. See Overwriting the default hook.
Packaging a simple app¶
For this example, we’ll package the touchtracer example project and embed
a custom icon. The location of the kivy examples is, when using the wheels,
installed to
python\\share\\kivy-examples and when using the github source
code installed as
kivy\\examples. We’ll just refer to the full path leading
to the examples as
examples-path. The touchtracer example is in
examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer and the main file is named
main.py.
Open your command line shell and ensure that python is on the path (i.e.
pythonworks).
Create a folder into which the packaged app will be created. For example create a
TouchAppfolder and change to that directory with e.g.
cd TouchApp. Then type:
python -m PyInstaller --name touchtracer examples-path\demo\touchtracer\main.py
You can also add an icon.ico file to the application folder in order to create an icon for the executable. If you don’t have a .ico file available, you can convert your icon.png file to ico using the web app ConvertICO. Save the icon.ico in the touchtracer directory and type:
python -m PyInstaller --name touchtracer --icon examples-path\demo\touchtracer\icon.ico examples-path\demo\touchtracer\main.py
For more options, please consult the PyInstaller Manual.
The spec file will be
touchtracer.speclocated in
TouchApp. Now we need to edit the spec file to add the dependencies hooks to correctly build the exe. Open the spec file with your favorite editor and add these lines at the beginning of the spec (assuming sdl2 is used, the default now):
from kivy_deps import sdl2, glew
Then, find
COLLECT()and add the data for touchtracer (touchtracer.kv, particle.png, …): Change the line to add a
Tree()object, e.g.
Tree('examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer\\'). This Tree will search and add every file found in the touchtracer directory to your final package.
To add the dependencies, before the first keyword argument in COLLECT add a Tree object for every path of the dependencies. E.g.
*[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)]so it’ll look something like:
coll = COLLECT(exe, Tree('examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer\\'), a.binaries, a.zipfiles, a.datas, *[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)], strip=False, upx=True, name='touchtracer')
Now we build the spec file in
TouchAppwith:
python -m PyInstaller touchtracer.spec
The compiled package will be in the TouchApp\dist\touchtracer directory.
Single File Application¶
Next, we will modify the example above to package the touchtracer example project as a single file application. Following the same steps as above, instead issue the following command:
python -m PyInstaller --onefile --name touchtracer examples-path\demo\touchtracer\main.py
As before, this will generate touchtracer.spec, which we will edit to add the dependencies. In this instance, edit the arguments to the EXE command so that it will look something like this:
exe = EXE(pyz, Tree('examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer\\'), a.scripts, a.binaries, a.zipfiles, a.datas, *[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)], upx=True name='touchtracer')
Now you can build the spec file as before with:
python -m PyInstaller touchtracer.spec
The compiled package will be in the TouchApp\dist directory and will consist of a single executable file.
Bundling Data Files¶
We will again modify the previous example to include bundled data files. PyInstaller allows inclusion of outside data files (such as images, databases, etc) that the project needs to run. When running an app on Windows, the executable extracts to a temporary folder which the Kivy project doesn’t know about, so it can’t locate these data files. We can fix that with a few lines.
First, follow PyInstaller documentation on how to include data files in your application.
Modify your main python code to include the following imports (if it doesn’t have them already):
import os, sys from kivy.resources import resource_add_path, resource_find
Modify your main python code to include the following (using the touchtracer app as an example):
if __name__ == '__main__': if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'): resource_add_path(os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS)) TouchtracerApp().run()
Finally, follow the steps for bundling your application above.
Packaging a video app with gstreamer¶
Following we’ll slightly modify the example above to package a app that uses
gstreamer for video. We’ll use the
videoplayer example found at
examples-path\widgets\videoplayer.py. Create a folder somewhere called
VideoPlayer and on the command line change your current directory to that
folder and do:
python -m PyInstaller --name gstvideo examples-path\widgets\videoplayer.py
to create the
gstvideo.spec file. Edit as above and this time include the
gstreamer dependency as well:
from kivy_deps import sdl2, glew, gstreamer
and add the
Tree() to include the video files, e.g.
Tree('examples-path\\widgets') as well as the gstreamer dependencies so it
should look something like:
coll = COLLECT(exe, Tree('examples-path\\widgets'), a.binaries, a.zipfiles, a.datas, *[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins + gstreamer.dep_bins)], strip=False, upx=True, name='gstvideo')
Then build the spec file in
VideoPlayer with:
python -m PyInstaller gstvideo.spec
and you should find gstvideo.exe in
VideoPlayer\dist\gstvideo,
which when run will play a video.
Note
If you’re using Pygame and need PyGame in your packaging app, you’ll have to add the following code to your spec file due to kivy issue #1638. After the imports add the following:
def getResource(identifier, *args, **kwargs): if identifier == 'pygame_icon.tiff': raise IOError() return _original_getResource(identifier, *args, **kwargs) import pygame.pkgdata _original_getResource = pygame.pkgdata.getResource pygame.pkgdata.getResource = getResource
Overwriting the default hook¶
Including/excluding video and audio and reducing app size¶
PyInstaller includes a hook for kivy that by default adds all the core
modules used by kivy, e.g. audio, video, spelling etc (you still need to
package the gstreamer dlls manually with
Tree() - see the example above)
and their dependencies. If the hook is not installed or to reduce app size some
of these modules may be excluded, e.g. if no audio/video is used, with
an alternative hook.
Kivy provides the alternate hook at
hookspath(). In addition, if and
only if PyInstaller doesn’t have the default hooks
runtime_hooks() must also be
provided. When overwriting the hook, the latter one typically is not required
to be overwritten.
The alternate
hookspath() hook
does not include any of the kivy providers. To add them, they have to be added
with
get_deps_minimal() or
get_deps_all(). See
their documentation and
pyinstaller_hooks for more
details. But essentially,
get_deps_all() add all the
providers like in the default hook while
get_deps_minimal() only adds
those that are loaded when the app is run. Each method provides a list of
hidden kivy imports and excluded imports that can be passed on to
Analysis.
One can also generate a alternate hook which literally lists every kivy
provider module and those not required can be commented out. See
pyinstaller_hooks.
To use the the alternate hooks with the examples above modify as following to
add the hooks with
hookspath() and
runtime_hooks (if required)
and
**get_deps_minimal() or
**get_deps_all() to specify the providers.
For example, add the import statement:
from kivy.tools.packaging.pyinstaller_hooks import get_deps_minimal, get_deps_all, hookspath, runtime_hooks
and then modify
Analysis as follows:
a = Analysis(['examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer\\main.py'], ... hookspath=hookspath(), runtime_hooks=runtime_hooks(), ... **get_deps_all())
to include everything like the default hook. Or:
a = Analysis(['examples-path\\demo\\touchtracer\\main.py'], ... hookspath=hookspath(), runtime_hooks=runtime_hooks(), ... **get_deps_minimal(video=None, audio=None))
e.g. to exclude the audio and video providers and for the other core modules only use those loaded.
The key points is to provide the alternate
hookspath() which does not list
by default all the kivy providers and instead manually to hiddenimports
add the required providers while removing the undesired ones (audio and
video in this example) with
get_deps_minimal().
Alternate installations¶
The previous examples used e.g.
*[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins + gstreamer.dep_bins)],
to make PyInstaller add all the dlls used by these dependencies. If kivy
was not installed using the wheels method these commands will not work and e.g.
kivy_deps.sdl2 will fail to import. Instead, one must find the location
of these dlls and manually pass them to the
Tree class in a similar fashion

django-generate 0.0.3
Django slightly smarter than fixtures content generation app..
Contents
This package is part of the larger Jmbo project.
Installation
- Install or add django-generate to your Python path.
- Add generate to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Usage
In order to generate content you need to execute the generate management command. This command will search for a generator module in each of the apps as specified in the INSTALLED_APPS setting and call its generate method. This method should return a list of JSON serialized objects to be created.
Note: Generation is also triggered after a syncdb, at which time you will be prompted to generate default content. If you answer yes to the prompt content will be generated in the same way is if you had run the generate command manually.
As an example lets create 5 dummy users for testing.
Create a generator.py in the app you want to generate content's path.
Make sure your app is specified in your INSTALLED_APPS setting. Also make sure your app has a models.py so Django installs it correctly.
Edit the generator.py file to look like this:
def generate(): objects = [] for i in range(1, 6): objects.append({ "model": "auth.User", "fields": { "username": "user_%s" % i, "first_name": "User %s Name" % i, "is_staff": True, }, }) return objects
All this is really doing is generating a bunch of JSON serialized objects dynamically. The returned objects list looks like this:
[{'fields': {'username': 'user_1', 'first_name': 'User 1 Name', 'is_staff': True}, 'model': 'auth.User'}, {'fields': {'username': 'user_2', 'first_name': 'User 2 Name', 'is_staff': True}, 'model': 'auth.User'}, {'fields': {'username': 'user_3', 'first_name': 'User 3 Name', 'is_staff': True}, 'model': 'auth.User'}, {'fields': {'username': 'user_4', 'first_name': 'User 4 Name', 'is_staff': True}, 'model': 'auth.User'}, {'fields': {'username': 'user_5', 'first_name': 'User 5 Name', 'is_staff': True}, 'model': 'auth.User'}]
This is a normal Django JSON fixtures list of objects that will be created. You could just as easily have hard coded and returned this list instead of generating it. The point is that the generate method should return a list of JSON serialized objects to be created.
Run the generate management command to generate the objects:
$ python manage.py generate
After the command completes you should have 5 newly created staff users in your database. If you were to run the generate command again no new users would be created as django-generate detects the presence of previously generated objects.
Have a look at jmbo-post's generator to see how objects with inheritance structures, relations and file resources can be created very easily using django-generate.

Input: a[] = ++ program to find the number of // triangles that can be formed // using a set of lines in Euclidean // Plane #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; #define EPSILON numeric_limits<double>::epsilon() // double variables can't be checked precisely // using '==' this function returns true if // the double variables are equal bool compareDoubles(double A, double B) { double diff = A-B; return (diff<EPSILON) && (-diff<EPSILON); } // This function returns the number of triangles // for a given set of lines int numberOfTringles(int a[], int b[], int c[], int n) { //slope array stores the slope of lines double slope[n]; for (int i=0; i<n; i++) slope[i] = (a[i]*1.0)/b[i]; // slope array is sorted so that all lines // with same slope come together sort(slope, slope+n); // After sorting slopes, count different // slopes. k is index in count[]. int count[n], k = 0; int this_count = 1; // Count of current slope for (int i=1; i<n; i++) { if (compareDoubles(slope[i], slope[i-1])) this_count++; else { count[k++] = this_count; this_count = 1; } } count[k++] = this_count; // calculating sum1 (Sum of all slopes) // sum1 = m1 + m2 + ... int sum1 = 0; for (int i=0; i<k; i++) sum1 += count[i]; // calculating sum2. sum2 = m1*m2 + m2*m3 + ... int sum2 = 0; int temp[n]; // Needed for sum3 for (int i=0; i<k; i++) { temp[i] = count[i]*(sum1-count[i]); sum2 += temp[i]; } sum2 /= 2; // calculating sum3 which gives the final answer // m1 * m2 * m3 + m2 * m3 * m4 + ... int sum3 = 0; for (int i=0; i<k; i++) sum3 += count[i]*(sum2-temp[i]); sum3 /= 3; return sum3; } // Driver code int main() { // lines are stored as arrays of a, b // and c for 'ax+by=c' int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; int b[] = {2, 4, 5, 5}; int c[] = {5, 7, 8, 6}; // n is the number of lines int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]); cout << "The number of triangles that" " can be formed are: " << numberOfTringles(a, b, c, n); return 0; }
Output:
The number of triangles that can be formed are: 2
Time Complexity: All the loops in the code are O(n). The time complexity in this implementation is thus driven by the sort function used to sort the slope array. This makes the algorithm O(nlogn). if two rectangles overlap

I am trying to understand how exactly __setattr__ works with class attributes. This question came about when I had attempted to override __setattr__ to prevent attributes from being written to in a simple class.
My first attempt used instance level attributes as follows:
class SampleClass(object):
def __init__(self):
self.PublicAttribute1 = "attribute"
def __setattr__(self, key, value):
raise Exception("Attribute is Read-Only")
class SampleClass(object):
PublicAttribute1 = "attribute"
def __setattr__(self, key, value):
raise Exception("Attribute is Read-Only")
__setattr__() applies only to instances of the class. In your second example, when you define
PublicAttribute1, you are defining it on the class; there's no instance, so
__setattr__() is not called.
N.B. In Python, things you access using the
. notation are called attributes, not variables. (In other languages they might be called "member variables" or similar.)
You're correct that the class attribute will be shadowed if you set an attribute of the same name on an instance. For example:
class C(object): attr = 42 c = C() print(c.attr) # 42 c.attr = 13 print(c.attr) # 13 print(C.attr) # 42
Python resolves attribute access by first looking on the instance, and if there's no attribute of that name on the instance, it looks on the instance's class, then that class's parent(s), and so on until it gets to
object, the root object of the Python class hierarchy.
So in the example above, we define
attr on the class. Thus, when we access
c.attr (the instance attribute), we get 42, the value of the attribute on the class, because there's no such attribute on the instance. When we set the attribute of the instance, then print
c.attr again, we get the value we just set, because there is now an attribute by that name on the instance. But the value
42 still exists as the attribute of the class,
C.attr, as we see by the third
The statement to set the instance attribute in your
__init__() method is handled by Python like any code to set an attribute on an object. Python does not care whether the code is "inside" or "outside" the class. So, you may wonder, how can you bypass the "protection" of
__setattr__() when initializing the object? Simple: you call the
__setattr__() method of a class that doesn't have that protection, usually your parent class's method, and pass it your instance.
So instead of writing:
self.PublicAttribute1 = "attribute"
You have to write:
object.__setattr__(self, "PublicAttribute1", "attribute")
Since attributes are stored in the instance's attribute dictionary, named
__dict__, you can also get around your
__setattr__ by writing directly to that:
self.__dict__["PublicAttribute1"] = "attribute"
Either syntax is ugly and verbose, but the relative ease with which you can subvert the protection you're trying to add (after all, if you can do that, so can anyone else) might lead you to the conclusion that Python doesn't have very good support for protected attributes. In fact it doesn't, and this is by design. "We're all consenting adults here." You should not think in terms of public or private attributes with Python. All attributes are public. There is a convention of naming "private" attributes with a single leading underscore; this warns whoever is using your object that they're messing with an implementation detail of some sort, but they can still do it if they need to and are willing to accept the risks. | https://codedump.io/share/9DvqifUNoLvq/1/how-does-setattr-work-with-class-attributes | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | refinedweb | 581 | 63.39 |

Using Visual C++ 2008 (express), the following program will finish on my CPU in either 1 second or around 4 seconds according to whether the scanf("%i",&tt) line is quoted or not.
If it is enabled, I enter 0 (representing false), and one would then also expect the program to finish in 1 second, but unfortunately, it takes four.
I did a little research and it turns out that there's a type of loop optimization called "loop unswitching". This means that at compile time, the loop is essentially duplicated, and the if(tt) u=sin((double)n); is removed in one of the versions.
Unfortunately, Visual C++ isn't doing this optimization. Is there a way to force it to?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <math.h>
void test(bool tt) {
double d=0; double u=0;
timeb ti; ftime( &ti ); double l = ti.time*1000.0 + ti.millitm; // Start the clock.
for(int n=0; n<1000000000; n++) {
d += u;
// The sin math part will never execute, but the 'If' will be looked at every time
// if the "scanf("%i",&tt)" line was used further below, and this will waste CPU cycles.
// I want the compiler optimization called "loop unswitching" to
// duplicate the entire For loop, with and without this line below.
if(tt) u=sin((double)n);
}
ftime( &ti ); double l2 = ti.time*1000.0 + ti.millitm; // End the clock!
printf("Time taken: %f\n",l2-l);
printf("\n%f\n",d);
}
int main()
{
bool tt=0;
scanf("%i",&tt); // User enters 0 if this line is unquoted.
test(tt);
system("PAUSE");

Key scheduling algorithm:
for i from 0 to 255 S[i] := i endfor j := 0 for i from 0 to 255 j := (j + S[i] + key[i mod keylength]) mod 256 swap values of S[i] and S[j] endfor
What I found interesting about this algorithm is it originally starts with a 256 bytes array/list in sequential order (0,1,2,3,4...253,254,255). This range could be represented in the form of a gradient. The above image is the visual representation of each loop of the key stream. The bottom left hand corner from left to right is the initial sequential list. The loop iterates 256 times. Each time the loop iterates the key stream is modified.
Another image with the char 'B' as the key. The very top row is the complete key stream from the key-scheduling algorithm.
Another image with the char 'Z' as the key. The above image was created in Python using matplotlib. The code will iterate through chars from 'A' to 'Z'. The images will be saved with a file name of example-char.png.Another image with the char 'Z' as the key. The above image was created in Python using matplotlib. The code will iterate through chars from 'A' to 'Z'. The images will be saved with a file name of example-char.png.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np import random import sys def rc4_init(key): # creates a list of the stream for each loop of the key stream c = 0 k = range(256) j = 0 x = [] x = x + k for i in range(256): j = (j + k[i] + ord(key[i % len(key)])) % 256 k[i], k[j] = k[j], k[i] x = x + k return x def createImage(key): # get list of RC4 key values size (256*257) data = np.array(rc4_init(key)) data.shape = (257,256) # use heat map plt.hot() plt.ylabel('Loop Iteration') plt.xlabel('Array Value 0-256') plt.title('RC4 Key Initialize with Value of ' + '\'' + str(key) + '\'') plt.axis([0,256,0,257]) plt.pcolormesh(data) plt.colorbar() #plt.show() plt.savefig('example-' + str(key) + '.png') plt.close() def main(argv): for x in range(65,91): createImage(chr(x)) if __name__== '__main__': main(sys.argv[1:])
Visually I think this is pretty cool. I decided to take it a step further and create an animated gif. The .gif displays the image with value keys of 'A' through 'Z'. Warning the .gif is over 2MBs in size. LINK Odds are my terminology is off in some of the description of the algorithm. Please feel free to leave comments if you see one.
Thanks for your post. However, I don't understand how you could exploit that ? What are your conclusions about that ?
Thanks
Thanks. This post was more about exploration rather than exploitation. I'm not a cryptanalyst but I do not believe anything can be exploited from this. The images were a way to see how the keys are initialized and how it would appear visually. | http://hooked-on-mnemonics.blogspot.com/2012/02/visualizing-rc4-key-initialization.html | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | refinedweb | 511 | 75.2 |

#21927 new Cleanup/optimization
URL namespacing improvements
Description
I discussed URL namespacing with Malcolm at DjangoCon US 2012. I took some notes on the current design and possible improvements.
Unfortunately, I haven't found the time and motivation to actually work on these improvements since then. I just mentioned them in #20734.
I'm including below a slightly edited version of my notes. Not everything is clear, but that's all I have, and I don't remember anything else.
Use cases
URL namespaces only exist for the purpose of reversing. They're "names for groups of URLs".
(They're analogous to XML namespaces in this regard.)
- Apps need to be able to reverse their own URLs, even if there are several instances installed.
- It must be possible to find the default instance of an app.
- It must be possible to find a specific instance of an app.
Application vs. instance namespaces
An application namespace = app_name
- There can be only one in a given project.
- The only use case for not using the application label is name conflicts.
- Shouldn't it be eventually moved to app._meta? (not sure about what I meant there)
An instance namespace = namespace
- It differentiate instances of the same application.
Next steps
1) Clarify documentation
2) Make it possible to reverse without specifying the namespace and document this pattern:
urlpatterns = ( url(r'^foo/', include('foo.urls', namespace='foo')), )
This requires a way to specifiy the default namespace. It would supersede #11642.

A major problem i see with url namespaces is that if the user of an app specifies a namespace, it will break url reversals within the app itself (even when using current_app). If I want my app to support namespacing, and I don't want my url reversals to break within my app, I have to provide a function that accepts a namespace argument and returns a triple and instruct the user to use that instead of specifying a namespace in in include(). This makes the namespace argument to include() fairly useless, IMHO. It also forces a non-standard API for namespacing urls.
If what this ticket proposes can fix that, I'm all for it.

Indeed, an app author ideally shouldn't need to do anything special (hard coding the app name or namespace) when reversing the app's own URLs because it is at the project level, outside the control of the app author, where app URLs are installed into the root URLconf and optionally with a namespace, either to avoid conflict with another installed app or to install one app more than once at different URLs.
This means that app authors must provide instructions to the effect that "my app must be installed within a namespace with an app_name and at least once with a namespace of FOO" or some other work-around like the one you have mentioned.
Django should automatically provide a default "current app" hint to reverse() and {% url %} when URLs are reversed within the context of a request/response cycle where the requested URL is installed into the root URLconf with a namespace. Django can get this information from request.resolver_matchearly in the request/response cycle and make it available to reverse() via thread local storage. The use of thread local storage is just one idea, I would be open to any others.
Apps should not themselves need to know anything about the namespace that they are installed into (if any). App authors should reverse URLs using their name only, as defined in the app's URLconf, and project developers should be able to install that URLconf with any arbitrary namespace as they see fit. Django should know when a URL is being reversed within the context of that app, and provide the current app hint automatically based on the configuration provided by the project developer.
See #22203 which proposes a default current app via thread local storage but was closed as wontfix, and the corresponding google groups thread:
Also see #11642 which proposes to allow app authors to define a default app name/namespace, similar to the earlier comment above by alanwj.

I always get confused when revisiting URL namespaces, and I feel like I have to re-learn how they work each time. That tells me there's something wrong with the API here. I'm commenting here mostly just so that I can come back next time I get confused. Maybe this will help explain the issue to others.
Whether or not you're using namespaces, current best practice dictates that a url name should always prefixed in some way to keep it from clashing with other names in the app:
# usefulapp/urls.py urlpatterns = [ url('^one-thing/$', views.one_thing, name='usefulapp_one_thing'), url('^another-thing/$', views.another_thing, name='usefulapp_another_thing') ]
This in itself is a manner of namespacing, but has nothing to do with Django's url namespaces. The purpose of url namespaces is not to keep one app's urls clashing with another's, but to allow an app's urlconf module to be used multiple times in a project via include():
#some_big_project/root_urlconf.py import usefulapp.urls urlpatterns = [ url('^$', my_project_app.views.home), url('^random_page', my_project_app.views.random_page), url('^some-things', include(usefulapp.urls, namespace='somethings')), url('^other-things', include(usefulapp.urls, namespace='otherthings')) ]
As an app developer, I don't explicitly define any namespace. If I want my app to support multiple inclusions of its urlconf, I must reverse my urls using the "application namespace" (which is always my app_label):
# usefulapp/utils.py from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse def get_thing_url(current_app): # The ‘instance namespace’ ╮ # ╭────┴────╮ return reverse("usefulapp:usefulapp_one_thing", current_app=current_app) # ╰───┬───╯ # ╰ the ‘application namespace’ (defaults to "usefulapp")
Problem # 1: If I reverse urls in my app without using the application namespace, my app will be broken for those who wish to use namespacing.
A project developer can then reverse urls as needed using the namespace:
In [1]: from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse In [2]: reverse('somethings:usefullapp_one_thing') Out[2]: '/some-things/one-thing/' In [3]: from usefulapp import get_thing_url In [4]: get_thing_url(current_app='somethings') Out[4]: '/some-things/one-thing/'
Ok, that's all fine and dandy. But, what about when another project developer comes along and wants to use my app, and doesn't really care about namespacing?
Problem # 2: This is how the vast majority of Django include an app in their urls:
#my_project/root_urlconf.py import usefulapp.urls urlpatterns = [ url('^$', my_project_app.views.home), url('^random_page', my_project_app.views.random_page), url('^some-things', include(usefulapp.urls)), ]
In [1]: from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse In [2]: reverse('usefullapp_one_thing') ... NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'usefullapp_one_thing' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.
“Hmm, that's odd. Oh, right this app uses namespaces, like with the admin and "admin:index"... Seems like this should work...”
In [3]: reverse('usefulapp:usefullapp_one_thing') ... NoReverseMatch: u'passreset' is not a registered namespace
(they really don't)
TLDR; The problem is, by supporting namespacing in the app, I'm forcing all other users to explicitly declare an instance namepsace even if they don't need one. The implementation of the API may be simple, but the usage is complicated and confusing. Ideally, an app developer shouldn't have to worry about whether or not someone uses a namespace with their app. A project developer shouldn't have to use the namespace arg if it isn't necessary.
It's been said in previous tickets that a "default namespace" will encourage developers to create "poor url patters" like url(..., name=post). As for me, I don't see this as a poor url pattern; it's simple, clean, and easy to read. It's no surprise a developer would want to do this. The admin does it, why can't anyone else?
It all comes down to how the app is deployed. As an app developer I can solve the above problems by using the following patterns, which are simplified variants on what contrib.admin is doing:
# usefulapp/__init__.py app_label = __name__.split('.')[-1] default_ns = app_label # our default *instance* namespace def urls_ns(namespace=default_ns): """ Returns a 3-tuple of url patterns registered under the given namespace for use with include(). """ # In for to use reverse() in our views, we need to provide them `current_app` kwargs = {'current_app': default_ns} urlpatterns = [ url('^one-thing/$', views.one_thing, name='one_thing', kwargs=kwargs), url('^another-thing/$', views.another_thing, name='another_thing', kwargs=kwargs) ] return (urpatterns, app_label, namespace) # Allow the use of `include(usefulapp.urls)`. # Note that we don't have a urls.py in the top-level package. urls = urls_ns()
Our views must accept the current_app kwarg so that we can use reverse()
# usefulapp/views.py def one_thing(request, current_app=None): context = { 'current_app': current_app 'another_url': reverse('usefulapp:another_thing', current_app=current_app) } return render(request, 'usefulapp/one_thing.html', context) def another_thing(request, current_app=None): context = {'current_app': current_app} return render(request, 'usefulapp/another_thing.html', context)
Since our context now has current_app in it, the {% url %} tag will work without it:
<a href="{% url "another_thing" %}">Well isn't that special...</a>
Now, an app developer can deploy our app without having to worry about registering a namespace (the registration occurs by including the 3-tuple):
# my_project/root_urlconf.py import usefulapp urlpatterns = [ #... url('^some-things', include(usefulapp.urls)) ]
*But* if they want to use namespacing, they can't use the namespace kwarg with our urls tuple. The include() function forbids re-namespacing a 3-tuple, though I'm not sure why. The solution is to instruct them to use of our urls_ns() function instead:
#some_big_project/urls.py urlpatterns = [ #... url('^some-things', include(usefulapp.urls_ns('somethings')), url('^other-things', include(usefulapp.urls_ns('otherthings')) ]
I think a the solution for this would involve a more robust API for defining urlpatterns, possibly involving AppConfig. It would be nice if we didn't have to do so much passing around of current_app, but I'm not sure how we'd make that more transparent.
Also, I think the app_name argument is pretty pointless -- I can't imagine a use case of changing app_name that wouldn't be covered by just creating another namespace. Unless there's a legitimate use case for changing it, it should not be part of the public API (let me know if I'm wrong here).
comment:6 Changed 11 months ago by mrmachine
One weird thing about the examples above (which I completely agree with), why is the app name AND a current_app hint required for reverse but not for {% url %}? E.g. reverse('usefulapp:another_thing', current_app=current_app) vs {% url "another_thing" %} (with the current_app hint set on the context)?
I really think that the current state of namespacing is broken. Yes, it was intended to allow multiple deployments of the same app, but there is an obvious and legitimate desire for app authors to name their URLs uniquely *within their app*, and allow project authors to specify a namespace to avoid conflicts between apps that know nothing about each other.
Currently, this requires explicit additional repetitive work by app authors during development *and* explicit installation instructions to project authors.
Django knows which URL matches the request path. It knows the namespace that a project author might have optionally specified for that URLconf. Django should use that automatically when using reverse() and {% url %}. App authors can then write their apps without any worry about additional code or explicit installation instructions. They can name their URLs without worrying about conflicts with other apps, as long as they are unique within *their* app. Then project authors can install any app with any namespace they like.

@mrmachine, current_app isn't necessarily available in every template context. It has to be explicitly set. For example, contrib.admin sets current app as a property on AdminSite, and explicitly adds it to the context. contrib.auth passes around current_app in its view kwargs, and explicitly sets it when rendering templates.
I don't think "keeping an apps url's from conflicting with each other" is a reason to fix namespaces, as you can already do that with urlname prefixes. The reason namespaces need fixing is to improve the API for deploying multiple instances of the same apps at different urls. It just so happens it has the added side effect/benefit of allowing devs to avoid prefixing urlnames.
IMO the API needs to be changed so that all urls are put into a namespace, the default of which is the application's app_label. That would maket things much easier for app users and app devs alike.

@bendavis78, I agree that "keeping an app's URLs from conflicting with each other" alone is not reason enough for significant change. But it is a nice side effect, and not one that should deter us from making significant change.
On current_app, Django could set a default hint for it in request middleware (or before middleware runs) in thread local storage. Then Django could use that hint (again, as a default only) any time reverse() or {% url %} is called.
There is a problem with forcing ALL included app URLs into a namespace. It makes it impossible for project developers to override the location of a particular URL provided by a particular app. For example, generic app foo is installed at /foo/. It provides a URL named bar at /foo/bar/. If a project developer wants to shorten just that URL to /bar/, he can't if it has been installed in a namespace.
If this problem could be worked around, e.g. by allowing a namespace to be given to a single URL included in the root URLconf (not only when one URLconf is included into another), and have that URL be detected first and therefore overriding the version from the included URLconf, then I would wholeheartedly support your proposal of giving ALL included URLs a default namespace that matches their app label.

According to the summary, "the only use case for not using the application label [as the application namespace] is name conflicts".
If that's correct, we can drop application namespaces because unicity of application labels is enforced since Django 1.7.

I use the following in most of my projects, which makes namespaces work more or less the way people probably expect them to. It allows you to define an app_name (and optionally a namespace) in your urlconf, and falls back to the current behavior if you don't. | https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21927 | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | refinedweb | 2,514 | 54.32 |
Each Answer to this Q is separated by one/two green lines.
Trying to assert that two dictionaries that have nested contents are equal to each other (order doesn’t matter) with pytest. What’s the pythonic way to do this?
Don’t spend your time writing this logic yourself. Just use the functions provided by the default testing library
unittest
from unittest import TestCase TestCase().assertDictEqual(expected_dict, actual_dict)
pytest’s magic is clever enough. By writing
assert {'a': {'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 4} } } == {'a': {'b': 2, 'c': {'d': 4} } }
you will have a nested test on equality.
I guess a simple assert equality test should be okay:
>>> d1 = {n: chr(n+65) for n in range(10)} >>> d2 = {n: chr(n+65) for n in range(10)} >>> d1 == d2 True >>> l1 = [1, 2, 3] >>> l2 = [1, 2, 3] >>> d2[10] = l2 >>> d1[10] = l1 >>> d1 == d2 True >>> class Example: stub_prop = None >>> e1 = Example() >>> e2 = Example() >>> e2.stub_prop = 10 >>> e1.>> d1[11] = e1 >>> d2[11] = e2 >>> d1 == d2 False
General purpose way is to:
import json # Make sure you sort any lists in the dictionary before dumping to a string dictA_str = json.dumps(dictA, sort_keys=True) dictB_str = json.dumps(dictB, sort_keys=True) assert dictA_str == dictB_str
assert all(v == actual_dict[k] for k,v expected_dict.items()) and len(expected_dict) == len(actual_dict)
your question is not very specific but with what i can understand, you are either trying to check if the length are the same
a = [1,5,3,6,3,2,4] b = [5,3,2,1,3,5,3] if (len(a) == len(b)): print True else: print false
or checking if the list values are the same
import collections compare = lambda x, y: collections.Counter(x) == collections.Counter(y) compare([1,2,3], [1,2,3,3]) print compare #answer would be false compare([1,2,3], [1,2,3]) print compare #answer would be true
but for dictionaries you could also use
x = dict(a=1, b=2) y = dict(a=2, b=2) if(x == y): print True else: print False

<pimpbot> Title: Re: Registering the about: URI scheme from Joseph A Holsten on 2009-04-03 (public-html@w3.org from April 2009) (at lists.w3.org)
sam: I've met with Steven Pemberton and others at AC; have posted some outcomes from that discussion
<masinter> emails didn't get linked to action item
sam: some idea that some extensibility capabilities would meet a lot of needs.
<MikeSmith>)
Larry: would be useful if reports were linked to this action
sam: I'll do that.
dsinger: I'm not confident that putting the two groups together in one room wouldn't cause chaos.
larry: it's not clear to me that the current chaos is any worse than the chaos that would ensue
dsinger: I think it would be - both groups would come to a standstill
<masinter> divergence is destructive
sam: I think dsinger would like
to hear confirmation that the XHTML2 group believes in the HTML
design principles.
... will take action to confirm that
<masinter> I agree that agreement on design principles is highly desirable
<Zakim> MikeSmith, you wanted to ask Sam whether he's heard feedback about merging HTMLWG+XHTML2WG from anybody other than Steven and IBM colleagues
sam: yes, I did talk to a number of people who were at the AC meeting, including several browser vendors and XHTML2 WG participants.
larry: there were ~20 people in the breakout room.
sam: obviously with the mail I sent yesterday, the discussion is now open to everyone (= the internets)
dsinger: you seem to be making progress, so I'm (hopeful? despite being skeptical?)
julian: sam, where did you send that mail? (shawn answers^^)
larry: i did have a comment - I'd
like to distinguish between platform and language features a
little better
... plugins are another way platform features get added
<shepazu> [both platform and language features, actually]
larry: it may very well be there are some plugin features that become platform features over time; I don't think the architecture should exclude plugins as a way features get added.
sam, can you repeat that?
sam: is the idea of plugins something that should be factored into the design principles?
larry: most likely
... it isn't addressed in the current design principles, but I think it would be a good thing to add
... your post currently only mentions browsers, but plugins add platform features too
Mike: I don't agree at all that
platform features are added via plugins.
... core platform features are not added by third-party plugins.
larry: never?
mike: never, by definition.
doug: what about SVG?
mike: there's an open standard
for SVG, it's not
... "added" thru the plugin as a language feature, it's added because there's a standard
... it's not under the control of the plugin whether it's a language feature or not.
<shepazu> [I wonder if FF extensions could be considered a plugin for these purposes... I guess it depends on the extension]
larry: if it's a platform extension, it's okay only after it becomes a recommendation, not before?
doug: take the example of PDF. It
could easily be implemented by a browser. Would that be a
platform feature [of HTML]?
... that seems like a political not a technical distinction
... not that I'm dissing the open web [ed: yeah right]
<MikeSmith> I guess I don't see what it's useful for us to be trying to define what a "platform feature" is at all
<dsinger> Hm, surely platform features are required browser behavior...there is UA behavior associated
<dsinger> language features are things like tags you put in your document so that search engines index you better
larry: platform/language extensibility is a good idea; I was just saying it seems to be a legitimate way of extending the web
doug: I tend to agree with larry. If you're going to talk about extending the web in terms of features, what's the practical way of saying "plugins are okay"?
larry: if the web platform relies on plugins, breaking plugins would break the web.
<dsinger> there is required browser behavior to enable plugins. the conformance stops at 'invoke the plugin if you have it'
<MikeSmith> what dsinger said.
doug: I don't think anyone wants
to break plugins - I like me some Flash games.
... adding new features to enable plugins might put more of a burden on the language, which may or may not be a good thing - at the very least, it's a different thing.
larry: I wasn't suggesting that - just that new CSS, etc. functionality should take into account that plugins shouldn't get broken.
jgraham: notes that there are quite complex issues with plugins and parsing, scripting, etc.
doug: some of these issues are also appropriate when SVG is referenced, just due to browsing context.
larry: I'll raise an issue on this
<Zakim> MikeSmith, you wanted to say let's avoid the problem by not using the term "platform feature" at all
mike: larry and doug seem
interested in this, so I would suggest they write up a spec for
this.
... maybe we shouldn't be trying to define what a platform feature is at all.
sam: at the AC mtg, there was some idea that the delta between SVG and, say, RDFa should be captured, because they're different (SVG requires browser impl)
<masinter> SVG requires browser or browser plugin implementation
<Zakim> ChrisWilson, you wanted to say I think the problem is in how "legitimate" we would be making the extensions done by plugins _to_the_core_language.
sam: the language may not need to anoint RDFa, but probably does SVG.
<shepazu> [RDFa doesn't *require* any extra browser support beyond putting them in the DOM, but it could benefit from it (if, for example, it takes the cue that an address is an address, and provides a map option, etc.)]
sam: anything else on this before
we move on?
... last I'd heard, it was Rob Sayre's intent to include summary and profile
<MikeSmith> shepazu, have not some suggestions about RDFa in text/html been predicated on having some form of namespace support in text/html parsers
<shepazu> MikeSmith: that's true
<shepazu> good point
sam: chris, care to say anything in advance of your one due next week on HTML extensibility?
chris: just that I agree with your general sentiment that language extensibility is a good thing (based on our experience in IE), but core platform features should be in the language.
sam: with that, let's adjourn
<smedero> rrsagent: draft minutes
<pimpbot> Title: HTML Weekly Teleconference -- 09 Apr 2009 (at)
<Philip> (SVG doesn't necessarily require browser implementation - you could emulate much of it with script and <canvas> (which people have done already, to some extent), or lots and lots of coloured <div>s)
<shepazu> Philip: or VML, which seems more common
<shepazu> that is, SVG rendered in VML
<Philip> Indeed
<Philip> so I still don't see a clear distinction between that and e.g. RDFa which can be emulated with scripts and current HTML parsers creating attributes with localNames like "xmlns:dc" and so on

What are the recommended system specs? What are the minimum REQUIRED system specs? top#
For optimal performance, we recommend that you run the simulator on a system with at least a 4 GHz Quad core CPU, NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card (8GB memory), and 16GB memory or higher, running on Windows 10. While you can run on a lower-spec system, the performance of the simulator will be impacted and you will probably see much lower frame rates. The minimum specification to run is a 3GHz dual core CPU, NVIDIA graphics card, and 8 GB memory system.
Note that simulator runs better on Windows due to fact that Unity and NVIDIA drivers provide better performance on Windows than on Linux.
If Apollo or Autoware will be running on the same system, upgrading to a GPU with at least 10GB memory is recommended.
Does the simulator run on Windows/Mac/Linux? top#
Officially, you can run SVL Simulator on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 (or later). We do not support macOS at this time.
Why does the simulator not open on Linux? top#
The Simulator requires the vulkan libraries to be installed on Linux:
sudo apt install libvulkan1
Which Unity version is required and how do I get it? top#
SVL Simulator is currently on Unity version 2020.3.3f1, and can be downloaded from the Unity Download Archive.
You can download the Windows version here:
You can download the Linux version (2020.3.3f1) here:
We are constantly working to ensure that SVL Simulator runs on the latest version of Unity which supports all of our required functionality.
Why does my Simulator say "Invalid: Out of date Assetbundle"? top#
Assetbundle versions change as we add new features. To get the latest assetbundles, add assets uploaded by SVL Admin on content asset store to your Library and restart your local simulator.
How do I setup development environment for Unity on Ubuntu? top#
- Install Unity Editor dependencies:
sudo apt install \ gconf-service lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 libasound2 libc6 libc6-i386 libcairo2 libcap2 libcups2 \ libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 \ libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libglu1 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 \ libx11-6 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 \ libxrender1 libxtst6 zlib1g debconf libgtk2.0-0 libsoup2.4-1 libarchive13 libpng16-16

Where are Unity log files located? top#
Why are assets/scenes missing/empty after cloning from git? top#
We use Git LFS for large file storage to improve performance of cloning. Before cloning,
install and run
git lfs install. Then repeat the git clone process. You can find the
Git LFS installation instructions here:
Typically if you do not have Git LFS installed or configured then you will see the following error when opening Unity project:
error CS026: The type or namespace name "WebSocketSharp" could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Why do I get an error saying some files (e.g. rosbridge_websocket.launch) are missing in Apollo? top#
If you see that some files are missing from
ros_pkgs folder in Apollo repository, you need
to make sure that you are cloning all submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules
ROS Bridge won't connect? top#
First make sure you are running rosbridge.
If using our Apollo docker image, run:
rosbridge.sh
For standalone ROS environments run:
roslaunch rosbridge_server rosbridge_websocket.launch
If you are running ROS bridge on different machine, verify that simulator can connect to it and you do not have firewall blocking ports.
How do I control the ego vehicle (my vehicle) spawn position? top#
Find the "spawn_transform" game objects in scene and adjust their transform position.
If you are creating new maps make sure you add "SpawnInfo" component to empty game object. The Simulator will use location of first game object that has SpawnInfo component.
How can I add a custom ego vehicle to SVL Simulator? top#
Please see our tutorial on how to add a new ego vehicle to SVL Simulator here.
How can I add extra sensors to vehicles in SVL Simulator? top#
Adding sensors to a vehicle is done by editing the configuration JSON in the WebUI. See Sensor JSON Options for details on all the available sensors.
How do I get parameters in camera matrix like the following? top#
[fx 0 cx 0 fy cy 0 0 1]
Our reference camera sensors use the pinhole camera model, where all of these parameters can be calculated from other parameters.
For focal lengths, i.e.
fx and
fy, the pinhole camera has same focal lengths in both horizontal and vertical directions as:
fx = fy = Height / 2 / Mathf.Tan(FieldOfView / 2.0f * Mathf.Deg2Rad). Note that since
FieldOfView is the vertical FOV, we use half of
Height in the calculation.
For optical center, i.e.
cx and
cy, since Unity uses symmetric view frustum by default, the optical center is always at the center of the image. So we have
cx = Width / 2.0f and
cy = Height / 2.0f
How can I add a custom map to SVL Simulator? top#
How can I create or edit map annotations? top#
Please see our tutorial on how to add map annotations in SVL Simulator here.
Why are pedestrians not spawning when annotated correctly? top#
SVL Simulator uses Unity's NavMesh API to work correctly. In Unity Editor, select Window -> AI -> Navigation and bake the NavMesh.
Why can't I find catkin_make command when building Apollo? top#
Make sure you are not running Apollo dev_start/into.sh scripts as root. The will not work as root. You need to run them as non-root user, without sudo.
Why is Apollo perception module turning on and off all the time? top#
This means that Apollo perception process is exiting with error.
Check
apollo/data/log/perception.ERROR file for error messages.
Typically you will see following error:
Check failed: error == cudaSuccess (8 vs. 0) invalid device function
This means one of two things:
1) GPU you are using is not supported by Apollo. Apollo requires CUDA 8 compatible hardware, it won't work if GPU is too old or too new. Apollo officially supports only GTX 1080. RTX 2080 will not work.
2) Other option is that CUDA driver is broken. To fix this you will need to restart your computer. Check that CUDA works on your host system by running one of CUDA examples before running Apollo
Why does the Apollo vehicle stop at stop line and not cross intersections? top#
Apollo vehicle continues over intersection only when traffic light is green. If perception module does not see traffic light, the vehicle won't move.
Check previous question to verify that perception module is running and Apollo is seeing traffic light (top left of dreamview should say GREEN or RED).
Dreamview in Apollo shows "Hardware GPS triggers safety mode. No GNSS status message." top#
This is expected behavior. SVL Simulator does simulation on software level. It sends only ROS messages to Apollo. Dreamview in Apollo has extra checks that tries to verify if hardware devices are working correctly and are not disconnected. This error message means that Apollo does not see GPS hardware working (as it is not present).
It it safe to ignore it.
Why does Rviz not load the Autoware vector map? top#
Loading SanFrancisco map in Rviz for Autoware is a very slow process, because SanFrancisco map has many annotations and Rviz cannot handle them efficiently. It will either crash or will take many minutes if not hours.
You can checkout older commit of
autoware-data repository that has annotations only for smaller
part of SanFrancisco.
git checkout e3cfe709e4af32ad2ea8ea4de85579b9916fe516
Why are there no maps when I make a local build? top#
See Build Instructions. It is not required to build the whole simulator using this tool.
Why is the
TARGET_WAYPOINT missing when using the
Map Annotation Tool? top#
Make sure the meshes that make up the road have the
Default layer assigned to them and they have a
Mesh Collider added.
Why does the simulator start and then say the simulation is "Invalid"? top#
If the vehicle(s) selected for the simulation have a bridge, then a
Bridge Connection String is required. The format of the string is
IP:port (e.g.
localhost:9090). The simulator does not assume a port so it must be specified.
Why are there no assets when building the simulator from Unity Editor? top#
Assets (environments and vehicles) are not included in the main simulator repository to reduce it's size. Maps and vehicles can get large because of 3D assets and textures.
See Adding Assets for instructions on how to add assets to the project.
Why are there libraries missing when running a PythonAPI quickstart script? top#
PythonAPI quickstart scripts use Python libraries that are available publicly. To install all the required libraries, execute the command below inside the PythonAPI directory.
pip3 install --user -e .
How to fix the "RuntimeError: The current Numpy installation" error? top#
There is a known issue with Numpy on Windows with the newest updates. See this issue for more information: To fix this issue, execute the command below.
pip install numpy==1.19.3

The Intercloud
By Gregp on Feb 20, 2009
There is a well-founded skeptical question as to whether "cloud computing" is just the 2008 re-labeling of "grid", "utility" and "network computing". Google's Urs Hoelzle pokes at that a bit with a search trends chart he shows during talks (copied here).
I have a whole string of answers as to what is different now, starting from the predictability and growth of broadband networks, to the arrival of usable and broadly available compute virtualization. But it seems to me that the most fundamental shift is that X-as-a-service is now approachable by most developers. This is especially true for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), the ability to provision raw (virtual) machines. The credit here is squarely with Amazon Web Services; they more than anyone made getting a network service up and running (relatively) easy by going after the grokable abstraction of rentable VMs with BYOS (Bring Your Own Stack).
Certainly the lively debate over the most productive level of abstraction will continue. There are lots of compelling arm-chair reasons why BYOS/IaaS is too primitive an environment to expect most developers to write to. So there are a bunch of Platform-as-a-Service efforts (Azure, Joyent Accelerators, Google App Engine, Sun Project Caroline, to name but just a few!) that are all after that Nirvana of tools, scripting languages, core services, and composite service assembly that will win over the mass of developers. The expectation of all PaaS efforts is that new Software-as-a-Service applications will be written on top of them (and thus the abstraction layer cake of SaaS on PaaS on IaaS).
Not matter how the hearts and minds of developers are won over by various PaaS platform-layer efforts, there is little doubt in my mind that BYOS/IaaS will be a basic and enduring one. It's the "narrow waist" of agreement (the binary contract of stripped-down server, essentially) we see so successful in other domains (TCP/IP in networking, (i)SCSI in storage). Of course, higher level abstractions do get layered on top of these, but diversity blooms here, just like it does below the waist in physical implementations.
Productive and in-production are different concepts, however. And as much as AWS seems to have found the lowest common denominator on the former with IaaS, how at-scale production will actually unfold will be a watershed for the computing industry.
Getting deployed and in production raises an incredible array of concerns that the developer doesn't see. The best analogy here is to operating systems; basic sub-systems like scheduling, virtual memory and network and storage stacks are secondary concerns to most developers, but are primary to the operator/deployer who's job it is to keep the system running well at a predictable level of service.
Now layer on top of this information security, user/service identity, accounting and audit, and then do this for hundreds or thousands of applications simultaneously and you begin to see why it isn't so easy. You also begin to see why people get twitchy about the who, where, and how of their computing plant. You also see why we are so incredibly excited to have the Q-Layer team as part of the Sun family.
Make no mistake, I have no doubt that cloud (nee network, grid) computing will become the organizing principle for public and private infrastructure. The production question is what the balance will be. Which cloud approach will ultimately win? Will it be big public utility-like things, or more purpose-built private enterprise ones?
The answer: yes. There will be no more of a consolidation to a single cloud than there is to a single network.
think that is correct, but also as suggested by that post, it will look a lot like the energy business, with dozens, or hundreds, of national and regional companies.]
The Internet, after all, is a "network of networks": a commons of internetworking protocols that dominate precisely because they get the benefit of Metcalf-esque network-effects across a federation of both public and private (intranet) investments. The congruent concept is the "Intercloud", at term that Cisco has been popularizing recently (see this nice post by James Urquhart). The "Intercloud" is similarly a "cloud of clouds". Both public and private versions (intraclouds) not only co-exist, but interrelate. Intraclouds (private clouds) will exist for the same reasons that intranets do: for security and predictability (read: SLAs, QoS).
[Back to the energy industry analogy; there are regional and national oil & gas companies in addition to the majors for similar reasons].
How internet and intranet protocols relate is instructive. Foundationally, they are identical. But things like local namespaces and firewalls lets an owner make strong assertions (we hope!) about who traffic gets carried and how.
Of course, clouds will interelate through networking protocols themselves, and voila, you get the Intercloud (I think this is the Cisco sense of the term). But we have the collective opportunity to create something much more interesting and vital. We should tear out a page from the internet playbook and work towards and open set of interoperable standards and all contribute to a software commons of open implementations. Particularly important are standards for virtual machine representation (e.g. OVF), data in/exgest (e.g. WebDAV), code ingest and provisioning (e.g. Eucalyptus), distributed/parallel data access (pNFS, MogileFS, HDFS), orchestration and messaging (OpenESB, ActiveMQ) accounting, and identity/security ( SAML2, OpenID, OpenSSO).
The trick will be to get (collectively) to the right set that lets everyone go off and confidently employ or deploy cloud services without fear that they are ending up on some proprietary island. Really important is that we keep it simple; there will be all kinds of temptation to over-engineer and try to end up with the uber-platform. Back to the internet analogy. It's not just the narrow-waist agreement on TCP/IP, but that with a reasonably small collection of others along-side and layered, such DNS, BGP, and http that has lead to the layered richness, freedom of choice, and competition in implementation that we all enjoy today. Joyent CEO David Young makes an interesting start at this at the platform layer with his Nine Features of an Ideal PaaS.
We should expect and works towards nothing less in cloud computing. You certainly have our dedication to that.

React is the most popular JavaScript front-end framework in use today. It's used by both established companies and new startups.
React was released by Facebook in 2013, and they still use it today for many of their applications. If you're new to React, this article will help introduce you to the basics. Or, if you'd rather learn by doing, you can jump right in with our Learn React course.
What is React used for?
React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces. Here are three places you'll find it being used:
Web development
This is where React got its start and where you'll find it used most often. React is component-based. An example of a component could be a form or even just a form field or button on a website. In React, you build up complete applications using components like these by nesting them.
Components in React can manage their own state and communicate that state to child components. By "state," we mean the data that populates the web application.
An example would be a user profile form that holds the state of the user's data, including first name, last name, and other values. This form component would have nested field components that it passes its state to in order to populate them.
Components in React are also reusable, which means you can use one button component for every button on your site. If you need the button to look different, you can simply change its style.
Mobile app development
React Native is a JavaScript framework that uses React. With React Native, developers can apply web-based React principles to creating mobile apps for Android and iOS. Here, React is used to connect the mobile user interface of the application to the phone's operating system.
Desktop app development
Developers can also use React with Electron, another JavaScript library, to create cross-platform desktop apps. Some apps you may know about that are built with Electron include Visual Studio Code, Slack, Skype, Discord, WhatsApp, and WordPress Desktop.
React example
Let's look at a React example so you have a better idea of how it works. A React web application runs on one web page. Here's an example of an HTML file used to run a React app:
<html> <head> <script src="[email protected]/umd/react.development.js"></script> <script src="[email protected]/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script> <script src="[email protected]/babel.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="root"></div> <script type="text/babel"> / HERE IS WHERE THE REACT CODE WILL GO / </script> </body> </html>
Using script tags, we import the JavaScript libraries necessary for React to run. React and React DOM are the basic React libraries we need. Babel is a JavaScript library that compiles the JSX language that React uses into JavaScript the browser can understand.
The
div element that has the root id is where the whole React app will run. And the script tag below that is where all the React code will go, which we'll look at in more detail next.
To use React, you need to create components that use JSX. Below is an example component:
function Heading(props) { return <h1>{props.value}</h1>; }
The component above is a simple JavaScript function that accepts a parameter called props — a special keyword in React used to pass data between components.
The function returns the value attribute of props wrapped with what looks like an HTML
h1 tag. This isn't actual HTML, yet. It's called JSX, a React-specific syntax that allows HTML-like text to co-exist with JavaScript.
Below, we have another component that uses our Heading component. In fact, it uses it three times to create headings with different values. Note that the props in React are passed to child components as attributes of the JSX.
function App() { return ( <div> <Heading value="Welcome" /> <Heading value="To" /> <Heading value="React" /> </div> ); }
You'll also notice that the name of this component is App. This is because it's our complete application. Everything in React is a component, including the whole application. To render this app to the browser, we need one more piece of code.
ReactDOM.render( <App />, document.getElementById('root') );
This code tells React to render the results in the HTML element that has the root id.
React vs. Angular
React is often compared to another JavaScript framework called Angular, but there are a lot of differences between the two. Here's an overview of some of the main distinctions between the two frameworks:
- Web development: Angular is a complete front-end framework for building web applications. It's based on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern. React, on the other hand, is for creating user interfaces — or just the View part of this pattern. This means you'll need other libraries or more code to create complete web apps, but you'll also have greater customizability for your features and structure.
- Updates: Angular operates directly on a web page's DOM, so the entire page must be updated when a change is made to its data model. React updates the virtual DOM. These updates are quicker because they don't trigger changes in the page layout itself. Plus, once React updates the virtual DOM, it's then compared to the real DOM, and only those parts that differ are updated — allowing for faster rendering and performance.
- Data binding: Angular uses both one- and two-way data binding, while React only uses one-way. With Angular, changes in data can trigger changes in the view and vice versa. But, with React, data only flows in one direction — which makes debugging an app easier.
How to learn more about React
So, now you know a little about React and why developers use it to build applications. If you're ready to learn more about React and start building front-end web applications, our Learn React course will teach you the framework's fundamentals and essential concepts. To apply these newly learned skills and build a complete front-end web app, check out Create a front-end app with React.

Programmers work with various sorts of web applications belonging to different areas of business, such as healthcare, finance, ecommerce, cloud computing, business processes management, and education. These industries often manipulate monetary values, and as more and more financial businesses convert their services into cloud-based applications, it is becoming apparent that these cloud-based apps need to be capable of representing, manipulating, and storing financial amounts precisely.
Even though your web application may not explicitly exist to perform financial calculations, it may calculate monetary amounts for billing purposes. These types of monetary calculations should be more accurate because errors can result in real-world losses for the parties involved in those financial transactions.
Therefore, we need to select the most suitable data type to store financial numbers. Several programming languages such as C# and Java natively support monetary values with arbitrary point decimal types. However, JavaScript’s hardware-based float data type is not suitable for monetary applications. It doesn’t have a native data type for monetary values, and it only lets you store decimals as double-precision floats (IEEE 754).
In this article, I will explain how to store, manipulate, and represent monetary values more precisely in JavaScript and TypeScript with objects using the Dinero.js library.
Why is the float data type bad for storing monetary values?
In general, people use the base-ten number system for their calculations. The base-10 number system uses digits from
0 to
9. Therefore, all numbers we calculate are made out of these or a combination of these digits.
Our number calculations often produce exact decimal numbers and can produce endless fractional numbers, too. For example, the
1/3 fraction creates an endless
0.3333…. On the other hand, the
1/4 fraction creates the exact
0.25.
Computers, as we know, can only understand a base-two number system known as the binary number system, which consists of a higher voltage value (
1) and a lower voltage value (
0). The computers will store decimal values as base-two numbers internally, and as with the base-10 system, the decimal-to-binary conversion can create endless binary fractions, too.
For example, the
1/10 decimal fraction makes an endless
0.00011… binary number. On the other hand, the
1/2 decimal fraction creates the exact
0.1 binary number.
As you can probably tell by now, the float data type stores an approximate value of the given decimal value when the binary representation is too long or endless. When you retrieve the stored float value for calculations, it’s not the exact value you stored earlier.
These conversion errors may generate considerable gaps in aggregated amounts, and can result in rounding errors. Therefore, the native JavaScript float data type is not suitable for monetary values.
Getting started with Dinero.js
Dinero.js is built based on Martin Fowler’s money pattern, which is explained in his book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. The book explains that software developers need to store monetary values with an OOP (object-oriented programming) pattern. The pattern motivates developers to use a class with currency and amount for storing monetary values.
As a result, Dinero.js lets programmers store, manipulate, and present monetary values precisely in JavaScript using objects. It supports definitions for all active currencies in the world, including nondecimal currencies like Malagasy ariary, and comes as a set of isolated modules, so that you can include only the required modules in the production application to keep the bundle size smaller.
Dinero’s v2 alpha version was recently released, and it will become the stable version soon. In the meantime, you can use Dinero with Node.js, your browser, and with all popular frontend frameworks.
To get started, install the library with npm or the Yarn package manager.
npm install [email protected] # or yarn add [email protected]
Alternatively, you can import a minified version of Dinero to use directly inside the web browser. In this tutorial, I will demonstrate Dinero with Node by using an ECMAScript module (MJS).
Basic concepts
First, let’s try to store a value of
75.50 with Dinero. Assume that this value comes with an unknown currency. Save the following code to a file named
index.mjs and run it with the
node index.mjs command.
import { dinero } from 'dinero.js'; const price = dinero({amount: 7550, scale: 2}); console.log(price.toJSON());
We need to understand that we are not dealing with floating-point numbers or integer values. Every monetary amount will become a Dinero object with the Dinero API.
The above snippet creates a Dinero object with
7550 because we need to provide an integer as the amount. We also ask Dinero to use a scale factor of
2 because the actual price was
75.50. The last line logs the Dinero object’s structure, as shown below.
Currencies
We created the above Dinero object without any currency. As mentioned earlier, the library supports almost all active currencies in the world, but for the sake of ease, let’s try to store
75.99 USD.
Before using the predefined currencies, you need to install the Dinero currencies package first.
npm install @dinero.js/[email protected] # or yarn add @dinero.js/[email protected]
After installing the currencies package, run the following code snippet.
import { dinero } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price = dinero({amount: 7599, currency: USD}) console.log(price.toJSON());
Now, we can see that the scale is automatically defined based on the currency’s exponent property.
Formatting
We can use Dinero objects for internal monetary representations, but we need to display them in plain text in our web applications. So, we need to convert Dinero objects to typical decimal numbers by using the library’s formatting functions.
Look at how the following Dinero object is converted into a decimal value with one decimal place.
import { dinero, toUnit, down } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price = dinero({amount: 7599, currency: USD}); const priceDecimal = toUnit(price, { digits: 1, round: down }); console.log(priceDecimal); // 75.9
Moreover, you can get a string representation of decimal values with the
toFormat function, as shown below.
import { dinero, toFormat } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const transformer = ({ amount, currency }) => `${currency.code} ${amount}`; const price = dinero({ amount: 7599, currency: USD }); console.log(toFormat(price, transformer)); // "USD 75.99"
Storing and retrieving
Dinero objects are stored in the computer’s physical memory like any other generic JavaScript object. Obviously, we need to save them into databases for long-term persistence.
Dinero offers API functions for serialization and deserialization, and we can use the
toSnapshot function to get a storable raw JSON object.
import { dinero, toSnapshot } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price = dinero({ amount: 5000, currency: USD }); const rawData = toSnapshot(price); console.log(rawData); // Store rawData in database
We can convert the stored raw JSON object back to a Dinero object with the
dinero method as usual.
import { dinero, toSnapshot } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price = dinero({ amount: 5000, currency: USD }); const rawData = toSnapshot(price); // Store rawData in database const priceFromDb = dinero(rawData); console.log(priceFromDb.toJSON());
Arithmetic operations
Dinero has several API mutation functions that allow you to manipulate monetary amounts that are defined inside Dinero objects. With these functions, we can perform arithmetic operations such as add, multiply, and subtract. Look at the following code snippet for some sample arithmetic operations.
import { dinero, toUnit, down, add, subtract, multiply } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const d1 = dinero({amount: 7599, currency: USD}); const d2 = dinero({amount: 1599, currency: USD}); console.log(`d1 = ${toUnit(d1)}`); console.log(`d2 = ${toUnit(d1)}`); let ans; ans = add(d1, d2); console.log(`d1 + d2 = ${toUnit(ans)}`); ans = subtract(d1, d2); console.log(`d1 - d2 = ${toUnit(ans)}`); ans = multiply(d1, 2); console.log(`d1 x 2 = ${toUnit(ans)}`);
Monetary division
We often need to divide monetary amounts in real-world transactions. In some scenarios, these divisions can be a bit more complex. For example, assume that your web application processes a total payment of USD
100.53 across two transactions for one specific service. You may guess that there will be two identical payments of USD
50.265. But you can’t divide a physical penny into two parts, can you?
Even though you can round up this value to USD
50.27, you are charging more than the actual value. To solve this, Dinero offers the
allocate method to distribute monetary values without any division errors.
The following example distributes USD
100.53 into two amounts.
import { dinero, allocate, toUnit } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price = dinero({ amount: 10053, currency: USD }); const [d1, d2] = allocate(price, [1, 1]); console.log(toUnit(d1), toUnit(d2)); // 50.27 50.26
The above code snippet creates two Dinero objects: one with
50.27 and one with
50.26. Therefore, the division results in two amounts that correctly translate to currency.
Arithmetic comparisons
Dinero has many functions for comparison purposes. For example, we can use the
equal method to check the equality of two Dinero objects.
import { dinero, equal } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const d1 = dinero({ amount: 5022, currency: USD }); const d2 = dinero({ amount: 5022, currency: USD }); if(equal(d1, d2)) { console.log("d1 equals d2"); }
Likewise, there are API functions to check greater than, less than, etc. The Dinero API documentation has definitions for all supported comparison functions.
TypeScript support
Dinero.js is written in TypeScript, and it natively supports TypeScript development environments.
Add Dinero as a dependency into your TypeScript project. After that, your package manager will fetch all TypeScript definitions, too.
Look at the following Dinero TypeScript example.
import { Dinero, dinero, toUnit, down } from 'dinero.js'; import { USD } from '@dinero.js/currencies'; const price: Dinero = dinero({ amount: 50011, currency: USD }); const priceDecimal: number = toUnit(price, { digits: 2, round: down }); console.log(priceDecimal);
You can check the complete source of the above example from this StackBlitz demo.
Dinero.js vs. the other existing solutions
Dinero.js was initially released about a year ago. Before then, programmers used different Dinero-like libraries to represent monetary amounts in JavaScript. Some programmers used other approaches without using libraries, like Martin Fowler’s money pattern, which stores monetary values as integers, but they then needed to implement everything from scratch. The Money$afe library offers a similar API to Dinero, but it doesn’t implement predefined currencies, and the documentation says it’s not yet production-ready.
big.js is another popular library for manipulating arbitrary-precision decimal numbers. However, its solution to storing decimal values without rounding errors is kind of generic, and we can’t expect many money-related features, such as predefined currencies or equal division. However, big.js is a good solution for dealing with cryptocurrencies — even Dinero recommends big.js for cryptocurrency on their FAQ page.
Conclusion
Programmers always need to use the correct data type to store financial values. Otherwise, web applications may store, process, and display incorrect financial amounts, and web application owners may face customer dissatisfaction issues, or even legal action, as a result.
Luckily, Dinero is a JavaScript library that provides a safe domain model for monetary manipulation in JavaScript with a modular and immutable API._3<<. | https://blog.logrocket.com/store-retrieve-precise-monetary-values-javascript-dinero-js/ | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | refinedweb | 1,894 | 50.33 |

So what do we mean by the terms used above:
Working: No user functional loss when the client OS is upgraded to Windows 10 RTM. There is no change on the Current User Experience
- INBOX: The client connector software is available on the respective server and it is not required by the user to download it manually and install. There is no change on the Current User Experience
- Auto download from DLC: The client connector software is automatically downloaded from the download center when user runs on the client. There is no change on the Current User Experience
- Working after client OS hotfix installation: It requires the user to install the client OS Hotfix manually for the Client Restore to function properly
- NA: The respective feature is not applicable
- NONE: No issues experienced while in-house repro
Resolution (Updated on 29/07/2015):
The Client Connector for Windows 10 to connect to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials has been released.
For x64 bit Windows 10 Client download it from here.
For x86 bit Windows 10 Client download it form here.
Note:
– The Client Connector needs to be manually downloaded and installed on the Windows 10 Client OS. Once the installation is completed follow the steps listed below,
– Click on Start, All Apps
– Scroll down till “Windows Server Essentials”, expand and run “Windows Server Essentials Connector Configuration Wizard”.
This is a known issue and the fix on the server is being targeted to be released tentatively in October 2015.
Once the fix is patched, then there will be no user intervention required, all the downloading, installation and configuration will be automatically carried out
– With the release of Windows Server 2016 Essentials, all client connector software will be available and no user intervention will be needed.
Update (21/10/2015):
– There will be a Windows Update released on 17th,November 2015 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
– This Windows Update will enable the Windows 10 clients to be joined to the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. In current scenario, the user has to download and install the client connector manually on the Windows 10 client, this manual process would not be required after applying this Windows Update to the Server.
– This Windows Update will not affect any of the existing Windows 10 clients connected to the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
Update (17/11/2015):
The update to support auto-redirection of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials for Windows 10 client connector is now available at:
Join the conversationAdd Comment
Thanks Microsoft ! Many of us Windows 10 Insiders have been eagerly awaiting the restoration of our connect to our Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials after installing Windows 10. I think I speak for everyone by saying that we appreciate Microsoft acknowledging
the incompatibility, the plans to resolve it and what exact steps to take to implement the fix when it is released. Let us know when the revised connector is ready for download. THANKS!
Yay! Thanks for the official update. I eagerly await the download to reconnect my Windows 10 machine.
Finally! Had to uninstall Windows 10 Preview because this wasn’t available. Hope it’s out by next week when W10 releases.
So, when you say that the 2012R2 Essentials client "Requires Manual Installation" on Windows 10 how is that done? I’ve tried installing it manually and it fails.
In our implementation of WSE 2012 and Win0 10240 the connector does not work as well as it did before we in-place upgraded the PCs from Win7. We get false errors and one machine fails to let the user login to the aap but fortunately still magically banks
up (whew)
I’m confused too. It indicates "Requires manually installation" [sic], yet no link is provided to download. If the connector is not ready for download, then "Client Connect to Server", "Client Backup" and "Client Backup restore" are all incorrectly labeled
for "Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2" on Windows 10.
Great! Thanks for the update!
(Will check out the new connector as soon as it is available)
Will the connector work with Windows 10 Home for connecting to a Windows Server? I’m assuming it will by the over-arching phrase "Windows 10 RTM" – some clarification would be good though 🙂
As I understand it from Microsoft’s comments above: A new connector that is compatible with windows 10 is currently in development and WHEN IT IS READY there will be an update on this webpage with a download link. The connector will be a stand-alone download
for now (not a download from server essentials itself to the client PC’s and than LATER (estimated October 2015) an update to Windows Server Essentials will update the server with a Windows 10 compatible direct download as we currently use to connect a Windows
7 – 8 – 8.1 pc to server essentials today.
I think, if I am reading this correctly:
There is no connector for Win10 to 2012R2 Essentials, yet.
MSFT will release one at some point, date not yet known, but it would appear to be imminent.
When it is first released it will need to be downloaded from MSFT to the client machine directly and installed, not from the server as currently happens. The link for that will appear on this page.
At some point (October is suggested) the connector available from the server will be updated for Win10.
Is there any indication as to when the Windows 10 connector for Server Essentials 2012 R2 will be available for download? This will determine when I decide to upgrade my machines and it would helpful if there were some indication whether this is imminent
(next few days) or weeks away.
Great news to get an official update, although it took too long. Disappointing really…anyway moving on…
When will this be out for manual download and installation?
I Can’t wait for this to work, I was still debating on delaying the upgrade to windows 10 for this to be fixed. But after playing with the finished product for the last few days I can’t wait for it. I need windows 10 to control my boys with the added features
it has compared to windows 7.
I am stuck until this appears. All my machines are ready to go, but without the backup strategy in place they will stay on Windows 8.1 and 7 until this has been made available and I have tested it.
Well, Windows 10 is out and I installed it. Where is the manual install?! We need it. Come on MS.
Please at least show us the manual steps involved getting it connected. Thanks
Where is the client connector that needs to be manually downloaded and installed for 2012R2 Essentials?
Hey Microsoft…..not sure when the update of the Client Connector for Windows 10 for Server Essentials 2012 R2 will be ready for download – but I think that the matrix above needs to be updated to correctly indicate that Client Connector, Client Backup
and Client Server Restore are NOT "Working" as noted in the matrix and will require the yet-to-be-released Client Connector to restore their operation. While Microsoft hit a home run with Windows 10 and how smoothly (so far) it is rolling out – you missed
the mark on this issue. Those of us running Windows Serve Essentials are now faced with the uncomfortable decision of whether or not to update to Windows 10 knowing that we will be high and dry for backups until you folks finish the new connector.
Big misstep on Microsoft’s part on support Server Essentials 2012 R2 with the RTM rollout of Windows 10.
There is always some one company that forget to update their app in time for the release of the new Microsoft OS. Happened to me every time. 🙁
I hope that soon means in the next few days. (End of the week would be great).
I hate it when something gets released "soon". That could be a few days,weeks, month …..
The Connector was just released. Lets see if it works.
Thank you very much Microsoft 🙂
The Hotfix posted today doesn’t work. "Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator."
My windows 10 does not accept login name/user. Says its home version of windows and has to be connected by administrator
YES!!! Update is ready for Win 10 and 2012 R2. I was sad I couldn’t upgrade when I got home from work but you came thru Microsoft!!! Thanks!!!
Great – downloaded the connector (thank you MS) and have all the latest drivers and software updates ready to go, just waiting for a final backup to the server before I start the upgrade 🙂
I just tried using this new connector soiftware on the Hyper-V instance that has been running the preview program for months now and is at RTM. Unfortunately it does not work and all I get is "An Unexpected error occurred" after entering my credentials.
What Gives?
My edge does not work anymore after connecting to server…… Installes chrome so no real issue but just dissapointing.
same error as steve:
"Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator."
Seemed to work ok for me including the previously documented abilities to skip joining the domain and not to use the server for DNS.
Works with a local account, doesn’t work when logged in with a MS account.
Edit: working for me! IIS site was stoped for any reason, started it and the installation was successful

IIS needed a restart where? on the local box (not installed at this point) or at the server?
To no avail, still got the same errors as I posted above
At this point I am asvising all of my clients that they will not be able to update to Windows 10 Pro untill sometime in Octobe4r when a server-based solution is in place. 🙁
Yep, no dice. The connector installs but when I run the wizard it cannot find my server. I manually specify it and it fails to connect, "The server is not available." A Windows 7 machine connects without problem though.
Guys, check your DNS Server settings. Seems, this Wizard does something wrong. I had to set back in cmd with netsh parallel to running Wizard…
Thanks Microsoft! The connector worked flawlessly.
"Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator."
Worked fine here on the first PC I tried. Will do another tomorrow.
HI. I have just tried to run the new connector to connect my Windows 10 Pro (French) Workstation to my Windows Server R2 Essentials (French) and it says this update is not for my computer. Would this be a language issue?
Thanks
Yves Leduc
The Client Connector (Windows10.0-KB2790621-x64.msu) will not run on my client computer because "The update is not applicable to your computer". I just installed W10 x64 on the client,
Why are you guys using the supporting assemblies from Windows Server 2016 Essentials in your newly released Windows 10 client connector that is for use with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (e.g. ProviderFramework.dll, etc.)? Doing that seriously breaks
any add-ins that happen to be using Providers, Health add-ins, etc. (that were built against the older Windows Server Essentials SDK).
Shouldn’t all of the assemblies being used in the connector software be from the older version 6.3.9600 release, and not from the newer version 10.0.10240 release (i.e. they should be the ones that ship with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and not the ones
that will be shipping with Windows Server 2016 Essentials)?
So what are developers supposed to do now… Should we distribute all of the older v6.3.9600 SDK assemblies with our add-ins? If so, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me (or am I simply just missing something here).
The connector worked for me in my Windows Server Essential 2012 R2 Environment. The computer is a MacBook Pro running Parallels 10. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro. The language would be English, as I’m located in the U.S.. I had to run the connector installation
software twice, with the first attempt hanging up. The second attempt had little delay at each step.
Progress report: I have tried the new x64 version of the connector on two W10 installations. The first one was tried on a W10 pro version, and I get the message quoted by others: "The update is not applicable to your computer". Then I tried it on a W10
Enterprise version, and it worked! Both versions originated out of the Technical Preview program. I see nothing in the blog to indicate that some W10 versions will work and others will not. Any ideas about why my W10 pro version will not work???
I just tried several times to get this to install and have had enough. I Tried:
1. Installation While PC was still a member of the domain with DA Creds – No Joy
2. Installation While Domain Joined with Standard User Creds – No Joy
3. Installation after removing the PC from the Domain and using Local Admin Creds – No Joy
4. Installation after removal from the domain with local user creds – No Joy
It always fails at the same point – when asking for my New credentials, the next screeen gives me "an error has occurrred" and we get nowhere. Luckily I did this on a laptop that I use infrequently so I guess I will have to wait untill the server is properly
patched up to accept withows 10 pro through the servername/connect method.
Never have I been so disappointed in Microsoft as I have 30+ businesses that I have informed today they will not be able to upgrade to Windows 10 untill OCTOBER. Hopefully MS can move that date up but I am not holding my breath.
Getting "The Server is not available. Try connecting this computer again.
It can be almost impossible to find well-qualified users on this matter however you look like you be aware of exactly what you’re covering!
This worked a treat for me! thanks Microsoft 🙂
It worked flawlessly on my Surface Pro 3 after a clean install of Windows 10.
OK, i spoke to soon regarding clean install. when i did an UPGRADE it worked just fine…however when i reset my Surface Pro 3 and then installed the update listed i ended up with the PC being stuck at the login screen displaying user __clientsetup__$
and no way of logging in…
certainly needs refinement…. I’m still not sure if i have joined this PC to the domain 100% correct???
For those people who, after entering your user and password, are failing with cannot contact server.
Try changing you client DNS settings to the ip address of your essentials server.
This worked for me and I recall having the same problem with Win8.1
So far I have successfully used the connector on Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.
Ok, so at the start of Windows 10 setup if you say the machine belongs to the organisation, things go a little smoother. i was starting with creating a user account based around a microsoft account.
however once i install the connector and join the domain in a matter that seems successful, folder redirection is still not working. i use my won account and my desktop item do not appear, my documents folder is empty, etc etc etc
Further Report: I reported earlier that my W10 pro version would not install the connector package, giving the message "The update is not applicable to your computer". Well, there was very good reason why it was not applicable: I already had a connector
installed for Windows Home Server!!! Once I uninstalled it, the new connector installed just fine. Moral: Uninstall all other connectors before trying to install the one for the W10 client.
The file path listed at the top of appendix doesn’t exist for WSE Role for Windows 2012 R2. Is there a different path?
Hi all,
Just to let you know, I have finally succeeded to connect my Windows 10 Pro Workstation to my Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. In fact, after resolving a bunch of issues, I made it. First issue was with the supported display languages. For instance, this
connector could not be installed since my Workstation had "French Canadian" as the display language. After searching quite a lot on the Web, I discovered the only supported (as of now) "Display languages" were the followings;" English (US), Chinese, French,
Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean languages". So in may case, I’ve changed my workstation’s display language to "French" and I finally succeeded to install it. By the way, there is a misleading piece
of information as directed above for updating the file named "supportedOS.xml ". It simply doesn’t exist anywhere on the server. Don’t waste you time with that!
Second issue: WMI filter named "WSE GROUP Policy WMI Filter" has to be tweaked a bit. In fact, this filter is being used by two GPOs, i.e. Folder Redirection and Security templates. This WMI filter doesn’t take into account Windows 10 version’s number when
it does its version comparison! Why is that you say? Versy simple! Version number is expressed as a caracters string, i.e., ">= 6.1". String caracters "10.0" is lower than "6.1". isn’t it?. There you go. So… To have a WMI filter that matches Windows 7 or later
(including Windows 10) then you need to use the following WMI filter caracters string; select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "10.%" or Version >="6.1". So once this filter is corrected, just reissue a GPUPDATE /Force so the missing GPOs get
pushed normally onto your Windows 10 workstation(s). Now, everything is back to normal…but the normal way to connect your Workstation to your Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2.
Good luck and thanks Microsoft!
Program keeps crashing after I put in my credentials. Any ideas?
Yves Leduc, that is wonderful information! I will try this when I’m in the office tonight! thankyou 🙂
(talking about the WMI filter change)
Just so everyone is clear…
Appendix A only applies to Small Business Server 2011 Standard.
On the chart above under Client OS: Windows 10 RTM it states that if you are running Windows Server Essentials 2012, there is no issue and that the connector should work. I have clean installed one pc and upgraded another pc to Win10 Pro, and they both
fail with the connector. It does not work at all to add these machine back to the server. It does not come up with an error code just a big red X, and a message that the software cannot be installed and to contact your server administrator, which is actually
a useless message. I am the administrator and only use my server as a replacement to WHS, so I am not sure what I should be doing now. I tried to manually download the installer, but when I try that I get a message saying this is not required for your machine.
Please help!
Jeremy, you’re right, Appendix A only applies to Small Business Server 2011 Standard. Sorry folks, misreading!
Yves, your tip on the Group Policy filter worked a treat! i can now proceed to join Win 10 clients to my SBS/Essentials network! thank you so much 🙂
ok so i have made this change to my Group Policy WMI Filter. Client connects all fine and folders are being redirected. only thing that is weird currently and leads me to believe that not everything is ‘ok in the hood’, is that in the Sever Essentials
Dashboard under the Devices tab, my machine is listed, i see green shields all around (which is great) but under group policy it says ‘Not Applicable’. this is obviously wrong….
frozenwaffles,
Your right! I’ll have to investigate this.
Thanks.
frozenwaffles ,
This glitch has nothing to do with the WMI filter. I tried every possible combinations of parameters. I suspect this issue has do to with one the the XML files used by WSER2 to display this group Policy status. There must be some kind of Windows version number
validation. Unfortunately, I don’t know where to look for!
Thanks.
Yves or frozen waffles. I am not proficient with Group Policy or WMI filters. Would you please outline where these would be located and if you don’t mind, a detailed description on how to adjust them. Thanks!
Tbone, open Group Policy Management, then expand the tree until you get to WMI Filters.
Forest
Domains
(your domain)
WMI Filters
Then edit the WSE Group Policy WMI Filter (right click, edit)
Highlight the Query, then click on edit
Change the Query to:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Version >= "6.1%" or Version like "10.%") and ProductType = "1"
Don’t forget guys, we’re still facing the issue frozenwaffles had reported! Don’t have a clue yet how to resolve this. gitch. I’ll probably call Microsoft tomorrow using my partnership id with them.
Cheers
@Robag, the current existing client connector should be working fine to connect to Windows Server Essentials 2012. Please let me know more detail. After you upgraded to Windows 10, do you restart the client connect again?
@Yves Leduc， what’s the issue you are talking about, would you please more specific ?
@S Ge, the problem is that the client (by way of connector or otherwise) does not report back to the server and say that Group Policy has been implemented. this to me means that something is not right and if this is not right, what else is not right?
you can see the problem I am talking about in the Sever Essentials Dashboard under the Devices tab, my machine is listed, I see green shields all round (which is great) but under group policy it says ‘Not Applicable’. this is obviously wrong….
@S Ge. The connector still does not install on Windows 10 Pro. I have tried numerous times. Always get "Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator."
1. Updated PC from 8.1 and attempted install. PC was not part of Domain. No luck.
2. Tried installation so as to join Domain. No luck.
3. Formatted drive and installed as a new Windows 10 Pro, Tried domain and non-domain installs. Still cannot successfully run connector. Same error message. "Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator." No luck.
Worked perfectly with the new Hotfix on an upgraded machine. Thanks for the quick fix.
I have now successfully upgraded two domain computers (one laptop and one desktop). Both were running Windows 8.1 Pro.
After manually installing the client, I still get "server is not available" error. Checked all of the Issues in the Client Connect help page, still on luck. Time Zones & clocks are synced. anti-virus clients disabled.
Any thoughts?
…another thing can tell you is EDGE does not play nice with redirected folders…
Downloads appear to fail, but they actually work and get saved to the right location.
I can’t import my favourites from IE11, just says there is an error.
As much as i kind of have this windows 10 client connected to my WSE 2012 R2 server, there is so much more that Microsoft need to do to make this work properly!
Changes need to be made to the server to support EDGE and other features of Windows 10. Massive enhancements need to happen to the connector to make that work properly.
Get to it Microsoft! 🙂
Thanks for only releasing this a few days before Win 10 is released. You could have done a lot more to make this work far sooner for testing for businesses. Shame on you. And Microsoft question why more and more companies are moving to Linux.
I have changed the WMI Filter Query to:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Version >= "6.1%" or Version like "10.%") and ProductType = "1"
It still does not allow me to successfully connect. Always get "Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator." This is happening on multiple Windows 10 upgraded machines, both in a domain and out of a domain.
Microsoft. Please fix this so we can successfully connect to the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials!!!
I’m having the problem where the Dashboard/Devices page says that Group Policy is "Not Applicable". This is as of today 08AUG2015. I have all patches installed the connector installed from this blog applied successfully. I see that in another post there
is mention of a Hot Fix. Will this Hot Fix address my issue and where is it?
Some details:
Version of client: Windows Pro 10 x64 on Hyper-V VM !NOT ACTIVATED! (I’m Testing)
Version of server: Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2
Thanks in advance for the help.
All cliënts connected and working like a charme…
Are you sure Coolske?
All computers connected now
Had to change two of them to wired connection to make it solid .
And i had to uninstall antivirus before they could find The server
I’m having much the same problem as several others having been through the motions of all the described options several times and still not progressed any further.
One thing that nobody seems to have mentioned between those that have got it to work and those that have not is if they are running Windows 10 Home or Pro. I am using Home having started from a Windows 7 build and am deferring upgrading my Windows 8.1 Pro PCs
to Windows 10 Pro till I’m convinced it will work.
Can anyone confirm if Pro is good 🙂 and Home a big thumbs down 🙁
Navigator. I have 2 Windows 10 Pros that will not successfully connect to my Server 2012 Essentials R2. One an 8.1 upgrade, and one a fresh install. Always get "Cannot get information from XXSERVER. Please contact your server administrator." I don’t want
to try any more machines until the connector software works.
PRO is good! HOME is not good. Windows XX HOME has never and will never be able to join a domain!
Don’t even try 🙂 quite silly if you do…
Not sure if this comment is worth anything to anyone, but…
Im testing windows 10 on my SP3 in a Server Essentials 2012 R2 environment and i am thinking of going back to win 8.1…
I have constant problems with win 10 always asking for credentials, file transfer issues, group oilily is not 100%, EDGE does not sync favourites, its messed up my windows phone 8.1 experience….mainly due to favourites not syncing.
im excited for windows 10 but maybe in 2016 when all the stage 1 bugs are wiped out…and windows 10 phone is out and stable 🙂
I cant access my account. when I logged in and click on WIKI an error message is generated page is not available, but from different account it worked fine. kindly guide
I have come to the conclusion that even though some users are still struggling to join Windows 10 Pro to their Domains there is no chance whatsoever to manage this with Windows 10 Home without upgrading the OS to Pro.
The other issue I am experiencing is the change in Windows update procedure and even though the relevant registry settings have been applied on the client I can only get updates from Microsoft direct and not via WSUS running on my local Windows Sever Essentials
R2.
Just another gotcha!!!!!
Thanks Microsoft
Im going back to windows 8.1 tonight on my surface pro 3. Windows 10 is just not ready… 🙁
All my other clients will stay on windows 7 till next year some time i imagine…
here is another problem…
If you make a new windows 10 machine and then sign in at the start with your Azure ID, this all works and connects just fine.
But then if you try to run the Connector Wizard it will fail!
This whole windows 10 thing is a bit of a failure if you ask me. i was so excited for this…now its nothing but disappointments.
I eventually rolled back one of my domain cps to 8.1 Pro due to back-up issues and the group policy glitch. Back-ups were taking exceptionally long periods of time to complete, causing strain undue strain on my network and cp.
I’m attempting to run install the Client Connector to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials on my Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10, but I get the message "The update is not applicable to your computer", and it doesn’t install. I’ve tried the x64 and x86 bit
versions of the installer. Any ideas???
still doesn’t work after installing the fix for 2012 R2 SE. Fix it Microsoft.

It worked with win 8 & win8.1 home – if you used an admin id (yes I know that is unsafe) but this is a LOCAL network. This is what a Home user would accept as a acceptable option. I as a user from home server ver 1 thru 2012r2 accepted this as an "problem"
but accepted that MS would prefer that all home server users from 2011 should be using pro version.
had install the Windows 10 x64 Client but connection to Essential Server 2012R2 failed because the connector Software on my Win10 Client is not compatible to my Essential Server 2012R2.
So Client Connect to Server is NOT!!!! working. Correct the Table!
This is real bad.
My Client backup no longer works on my Laptop and Desktop that I upgraded to Win10. Now I have to suffer the wrath and cheek of my wife who decided not to upgrade. I like W10, and this isn’t a deal breaker. Just flat out frustrating, and well, I don’t
know how much more mocking I can take from the wife.
Any tips on why my W10’s wont backup?
OK, sleep easy, found the problem… AppleHFS.sys…
Works like a charm now!!
I have Windows 2012 Essentials – not the R2 version. I downloaded the 64 bit connector but have been unable to connect my brand new Windows 10 Pro (not upgraded – new Dell Build) to my server. After hours of research, I’m concluding it’s because I’m not
on R2. Does Microsoft plan to upgrade the connector for those of us not on R2? If they aren’t, I’d rather wait for Essentials 2016 and not pay / upgrade to 2012 R2…
So far the connector install has worked on 1 laptop, My destop and another laptop, the connector software install fails with the message "server not available" even though it finds it during the first part of the install. Really frustrating since no backups
for my clients.
I have installed the connector fix on each of my workstations for Windows 10, however, I am still waiting for the update on the server; (Server 2012 R2 Essentials).
Do you know when the update will be downloadable for the server?
Will it be an automatic update or an optional one?????
Also, as I understand in your article above, the server connector fix will reestablish all backups, health monitoring, etc
automatically, correct????
Thanks!
I’m running a Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 network and have received the go ahead from Microsoft to update to Windows 10. The machines I’m upgrading are running Windows 8.1 Pro and are nearly 2 years old. I went ahead and upgraded my test computer
and a laptop. So far, it looks like the connector is failing to stay connected following shutdowns and restarts. Re-running the connector wizard is the only temporary fix. I was also experiencing screen flickering on the initial startup, following installation.
I was able to use the following as my fix (during the flickering):
1.CTRL+ALT+DEL to display the options (on blue screen)
2.clicked TASK MANAGER,
3.at TASK MANAGER clicked the FILE at the uppermost left hand corner. RUN NEW TASK.
4.Typed (painstakingly, as the screen flickers fast) MSCONFIG command.
5.At the SERVICES tab I tried to disable all service apps but MICROSOFTs. Click APPLY. Screen still flicker.
6.Enable all services that are not from Microsoft again.
7.This time I suspected services from Microsoft and after few trials, by chance, DISABLE the WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE from Microsoft Corporation, click APPLY. To my astonishment, the flicker was gone.
8.To confirm that this is the culprit, I tried to enable WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE again. Confirmed, WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE it was.
I want to connect a Computer with fresh install of Windows 10 to a Server 2012 R2 using the above manual method, but the Client Connector Wizard STOPS RESPONDING afer enterin my credentials and having clicked on Next.
The server is found, my credentials are accepted, but the program stops responding after about 15 seconds.
i have 2 pc’s one was my test rig which worked using the the connector without a problem ( this pc was a cheap zoostorm which had its key installed on the motherboard , the other is my main pc / gaming rig witch i had windows 8 pro on , i’ve done a full
clean install of 8.1 , then did the upgrade to windows 10 , so far if i use the connector it starts to install , then hangs after about 15-30 mins of waiting and at the point crashes telling me it can’t find the server , the odd thing is that its changed the
machine name . and added the local domain i’ve made and even on some screens its tells me that my "organsion " has control of doing things like updates but it will not fully connecot to the server as i’ve pointed out above it tells me it then can’t find the
server , after 1st finding it without a problems …any idea’s as this is driving me mad.
Any news on the patch for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials to fix the connector for Windows 10 support? It was supposed to be October?
Getting "Cannot connect this computer to the network" and "The Server is not available. Try connecting this computer again." when running to connect to 2012 R2 Essentials. This is on a fresh install of Windows 10, logged in as a local account and using
standard user credentials to connect to the domain. The DNS was set with the primary pointing to the Essentials Server (and no secondary). Weirdly, although this installed failed the message mentioned, the PC was added to the Domain and does show in the Dashboard.
Any ideas what we are doing wrong here? Does anyone know a way round this? Also, If we don’t need any of the WSE features can we just add the PCs to the domain manually? Are there any downsides?
This is the first solution to the Win 10 client problem I’ve found – thanks much!
I just ran this installer after doing all new fresh installs of windows 10 Pro on three machines at home. The trick for me was after the clean install, make a temporary account and then to enable the local Administrator account. I would then restart, login
as the Administrator and run the connector update. Sometime it would ask me to restart, sometimes it wouldn’t. Either way, I would restart and then run the connector wizard once I logged back in as the Administrator. It would ask for a restart (sometimes)
again and I’d let it do its thing. It’ll try and login as _$ClientUpdater$_ on the next boot and then all should be good.
Wouldn’t this be what everyone is waiting for?
Thats the first part of what we’re waiting for. Thats the hotfix that will manually install the connector on our Windows 10 machines. The Nov 17th (hopefully) update will be on the server side and allow us to connect by going to SERVER/Connect and running
the installer from there. Hopefully it’ll squash a few of the bugs with the first rev of the connector too.
Looks like the latest Windows 10 build on the fast ring broke the connector again. Hopefully the fix on Tuesday restores it for me.
The "November Update" being pushed today uninstalls the connector software… Had to reinstall and run through the setup wizard again. Will this be fixed by the Server update being pushed on the 17th? I’m deferring all my corporate Windows 10 machines
updates past this date in hopes of a fix!!
Did you get this to work with an Insider Ring install or the latest update from the main branch?
It took a long time for the connector to install but all worked fine once I installed and re-ran the wizard. This is on a main branch update…
Curious….. My laptop is running the latest release on the fast ring and after doing the install of the connector, it runs, connects to the server and once the login of my account begins, the connector force closes. I’ve dealt with it for a few days now
but hopefully it gets fixed next week.
Tried to upgrade another computer and it did the same as you describe…
I updated a few of my Win 10 pc’s to the 10586 version and the connector worked with no problem. However the one PC that I’m using thats still on the Insider Track, running on 10586, won’t connect. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled probably half a dozen
times at this point with no luck. I guess we’ll see after today.
So, I just ran the updates on my 2012 R2 server, used my laptop to connect in via VPN, downloaded the connector from SERVER/connector and ran it with no issues. That was certainly a first. However the screen for the connector download does not mention
windows 10. I could care less though if it says it or not, so long as it works. Right now I’m connected via VPN and its showing as connected and logged in on the server.
Looks like the fix is now available (KB3105885), but it appears to be an optional update (???):
Update to support auto-redirection of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials for Windows 10 client connector
I’ve updated 2012 R2 Essentials with KB3105885, downloaded the connector but it cannot install on Windows 10 x64 (french-canada). It says that the installation package failed. Tried it on 2 different server and 2 clients (one updated and one clean install)
and the same error appears.
Too bad…
Great to see the update. Make install of windows 10 easier now.
Downloaded this update on our server and tried to connect two workstation with Windows 10 and they both failed.
Had to connect them manually still.
Update doesn’t seem to work.
Sorry Microsoft….i can’t connect to my server.
Tried to run the Connect a number of times after updating the server but kept getting a message that the server could not be found.
Disabled IPv6 Connectivity on the Client and ran the server/connect. Completed the connection without a problem.
I have had this issue with ALL the Windows 8.1 Clients and now Win 10. If IPv6 is active the client bypasses the server DNS and connects directly to the internet.
Sorry, but after a several updates for 2012 essentials yesterday (18-11-2015 and not R2) the connector failed again to connect my Windows 10 desktop to the server. It seem that the problem is not solved. Can Microsoft arrange in a short way a fix please?
Zero change. Cannot find server on the network. Typing in the 0.8 address says it cannot find the server. IPv6 turned off, first entry of DHCP is the server address. Tons of hours spent on this and after waiting for the server side update, it does nothing
different than the original download which is to say it doesn’t work.
Can’t believe this was just a DNS issue when running the connector. How is it the connector can find the server when it initiates, accepts the userid & password on the domain and only THEN fail to find the server? Come on Microsoft, what’s different in
the 3rd step that needs me to manually set an IP Address and DNS servers to get this to work?
I wish to add my frustrations with this saga as well.
I have one machine that won’t connect at all. I think it may well be the IP V6 issue described by a previous poster. I have just gone back to using the Hotfix and that still works fine..
This was the Solution for my Network (Client Win10, Server 2012 R2), i don’t know if you need all steps but this solution works for me:
-Disable IPV6
-Set the DNS at the Client to the ServerIP
and -Set the DNS at the Server to 127.0.0.1
Try it, on my network it works. Please write a feedback for all the other users if it works.
This works on my X64 Pro Workstations
At my Tablets (x86 Home) works only the KB2790621-x86.msu with the same DNS-configuration:
-Disable IPV6
-Set the DNS at the Client to the ServerIP
and -Set the DNS at the Server to 127.0.0.1
Has the Windows 10 connector for 2012R2 essentials just released on 17/11/2015 been broken already by the Windows 10 1511 build 10586 update?
@Paul Crowther: Yes, I believe that’s the case. May have worked for a couple of days. Now doesn’t 🙁
It still doesn’t work! In fact it was working with the manual connector installation, but with the latest update to W10, can no longer connect the client PC’s. Zero help in the docs. Useless.
All of my current Win 7/8 boxes are tied to my WHS 1.0 mini server for sharing files. Will the new connector software work with my older version of WHS? If not…how about swapping me a Windows 10 license for the WHS license so I can build new file server?
Please help. I don’t want to take the Windows 10 leap and find out I just lost all connectivity to my server. Thanks.
My server is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials and is fully updated. On an office computer, I recently did a clean install of Windows 10. I try to connect to the server using but it doesn’t work. It opens a browser window
which says "Download software for Windows 7 and Windows 8". There is no option for Windows 10. I go ahead and download the utility and run it. It says " This computer meets the prerequisites. You computer may restart several times during the installation.
… " I hit Next, and then it starts the installation stage "Verifying necessary components". It does that for about a minute and then the installation application just aborts. No error message or anything. Why is this happening? According to the table above,
Windows Server 2012 Essentials is supposed to support automatic installation of the Windows 10 Client Connector.
@Oceang would you please let me know your Client OS version, and more detail information about the issue you are facing will be very helpful. thanks.
Hi everyone,
Is it possible that KB2790621 isn’t compatible with Windows 10 other than the English version? I’m on Windows 10 x64 (French-Canada) with the november update and I’m getting this every time i try to install the connector;

@S Ge. Thanks for taking an interest in this issue. I note you work on the Windows Server Team, so I hope this can be resolved generally, so there is no re-occurrence when another major cumulative update is applied to Windows 10.
First of all, at all times I have had connectivity between the clients and the server in terms of shared folders, it is just the Essentials functionality that wasn’t working due to a connection issue.
Case1: The client is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. It was a clean install after originally running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit build 10240.
My Original Post was as follows:
“I have one machine that won’t connect at all. I think it may well be the IP V6 issue described by a previous poster. I have just gone back to using the Hotfix and that still works fine.”
My Status as at 25/11:
I could not get the connector to install at all on this client machine after KB3105885 was applied to my server.
At the time, the client OS was on 10586.3. I was getting a connection error at the very first step, before it comes up with the screen identifying potential servers. As I stated, I got around this issue by re-applying the Hotfix (KB2790621).
When the Windows 10 team automatically upgraded my client to 10586.11 via KB3118754, the client lost connection to the server again. Again, I tried to just load the connector from my server and got the same connection error, so re-applied the Hotfix to keep
going.
Today (25/11), the Windows 10 team has again decided to automatically upgrade my client via KB3120677. The client OS is now 10586.14. I have re-tried to run the connector wizard downloaded from my server and this time it works. This means I should no longer
need the Hotfix on any of my clients.
Whether it will get overwritten by the next major Windows 10 cumulative update is my major outstanding concern.
To be continued in next post.
@S Ge (part 2 of response)
Case 2: 9 clients – 1 Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, rest a mixture of Windows 10 Home and Pro, 32 bit and 64 bit, though mainly Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
My Original Post was as follows:
.”
My Status as at 25/11:
The above post still applies, but I can report that after todays automatic Windows 10 update (KB3120677) which updated the client OS from 10586.11 to 10586.14, that I did not have to re-install the connector. It is still connected and working on all of my clients
in this category.
Whether it will get overwritten by the next major Windows 10 cumulative update is my major outstanding concern.
I think you need to look at what was the component in KB3118754 on the Windows 10 client side that broke the Server 2012 R2 Essentials Connector just a couple of days after you issued KB 3105885 on the server side.
I hope the above helps towards finding the root cause of this issue, but as all of my clients are now updated to 10586.14 and the problem is not currently there, I am not in a position to provide much more information.
Is the dashboard likely to be updated to show the status of windows 10 pcs for the group policy, along with the group policy window so it states that it includes windows 10 as it currently only refers to windows 7 and 8.
Ńo connector for Windows 10 1511? hhtps://MYSERVER/Connect only gives software for windows 7 and 8
Rickard, the connector actually is for Windows 10 if you have installed the optional update (KB3105885). It does work now and it definitely didn’t prior to KB3105885.
Microsoft just hasn’t changed the text on the "Connect your computer to the server" screen. It should have been updated as part of KB3105885 for completeness.
212 Microsoft Team blogs searched, 54 blogs have new articles. 154 new articles found searching from
Hi all, I can confirm this is all definitely working now as expected. No manual config required.
What is annoying is that in the Server Dashboard, Group Policy says its still ‘Not Implemented’ when it is.
Also the Web Page for the initial server connection does not list Windows 10 as an operating system that is supported. Its great that’s its working and all, but Windows 10 still feels like the surrogate child in the enterprise environment….
The client connector that is compatible for Windows 10 clients is unfortunately ignoring SkipDomainJoin. Does anyone know if it is looking at a different registry key?
SkipDomainJoin is working fine on all of my Windows 10 Clients. It is the same Registry setting
You do need to do the Reg Add again as it gets deleted during the various upgrades when the connector gets removed as well.
in the GERMAN Version of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (all updates installed incl. KB3105885) i am not able to install the connector via (server = servername). The download starts, a small .exe (preinstaller i guess) can be
downloaded. If I start it (run) the connector try to install, but quit after a while saying. can’t be install, please try again later or contact the sysadmin. Anybody runnnig German versions? Client ist running on Win10 TH2 (GER 11511 Build 10586.14). The
"old manuel" installer works . but some bugs ….
Same here @Mark_Muc
32bit or 64bit, all machines (incl. server) are absolutely up to date. Now I’m looking for 10240. 🙁
I’ve installed the connector on two computers everything appear ok other than the previously mentioned Group Policy being "Not Applicable" and – crucially – backups are failing. Is anyone else experiencing this?
My Windows 10 backups are failing as well. In fact when I click on a Windows 10 pro device in the Server Essentials Dashboard there is no option to "Start a backup…", "Restore files…: or "customize backup…" for my Windows 10 client.
All my Windows 10 clients were connected to my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server. Yesterday, all of my Windows 10 clients received the Windows 10 November Update (1155, 10586 build). Now, none of my Windows 10 clients are connected to the server.
None of the backups are running and if I try to run the client connector wizard again, it errors out.
It’s frustrating to read that so many people have major problems connecting and no comment from Microsoft here with solutions at all. Where are they when you need them. Is it so difficult to fix this?
I’m very disappointed in Microsoft. I’m seriously thinking about downgrading Windows 10 to windows 7 again so connection and backups working correctly again. (now it still can)
I can say ..solved .. the fix yesterday udate für Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3112336)
fixes the Problem that I coudn’t install via … after installing this update ..everything worked fine ….. but still one Problem with the daschboard still exist … it doesn’t remember the Password .. User Name is fine..
Still having issues connecting to my server , server is running 2012 R2 has all the updates installed and the kb3105885 but it still does not help.
Installed Windows10.0-KB2790621-x64 on my windows 10 pro machines running version 1511 build 10586.17 but unable to connect.
Using the bat file for DNS bypass or manually editing the false to true to skip domain joining no longer works for me .
Please advise as i have 4 machines with the same problem.
I still cannot connect my windows 10 to my windows home server 2011. When i upgraded to windows 10 i can connect to the server but it was ‘offline’ then i read that i need to uninstall the connector and re-install, now i cannot even install the connector
at all..Is there any fix? Thank for the help.
One thing that worked for me after many hours – the Dec patching broke the Windows 10 connection – after leaving the domain and removing the connector and reinstalling it, sfc /scannnow and then ran the connector but used the domain administrator account
to join. I know this is not recommended, but it did actually work. It may be because the domain admin account had never logged onto this PC and the account I was trying to use had previously logged in.
For some people, using a "virgin" account may get round a problem.
Folowing Daniel’s hints I was able to reconnect all my Client W10 PC’s! Thx a lot Daniel, that repeatable solution is just very easy that I’m not able to explain the WHY but it works really that easy as described already ba Daniel:
• On the Client in the Network Adapters Settings you have to disable IPv6
AND
• in that same Network Adapters Settings on the Client you have to set in IPv4 the DNS IP to the WServer IP
NOW pls. run again the connector’s Setup starting at
After successfully setting up again the Connector you can go back to the former IP Settings of your Clients Network Adapter!
Cheers IngoS – Thx a lot again Daniel!
I run SBS 2011 Essentials and had to modify a specific Group Policy WMI Filter to get all the functions to work with Windows 10.
I agree with Daniel and Ingo’s solution, disable IPV6 (not 100% sure this was necessary) and set client PC DNS to server IP. I could run the connector without it crashing.
WHS Connector is NOT working with Windows 10!
You can follow many reports on that issue in the Internet.
Microsoft must release a fixed-Version.
Some parts of the connector are working, but in generell it is not working as it must be.
It is a pitty that I cannot update my Computers to Windows 10.
Best Regards from Germany
WOW! After all this unsolicited nagging and push to Windows 10, machines upgraded to Windows 10 (Pro) will not connect to Microsoft’s very own Server 2012 Essentials (non-R2). I love Microsoft but I really hate you for the stupid things you do. Why doesn’t
somebody lose their job and a fix get done immediately when stupid things like this happen??? Instead, months later, it’s STILL not fixed. I’m even more ticked off now over the incessant nagging to upgrade to Windows 10. How about you get your act together
before moving on to the next shiny object?
I figured it out in my case. It’s the certificates. You must have a valid certificate that does NOT error when you browse to the. If it gives SSL error then the connection software will fail.
I am trying to get Win10Pro laptops on to my SBS 2011 Standard domain following the instructions in Appendix A. When I go to the .xml file the first thing I notice is that the layout of the new information is different than the layout in the existing configurations.
Am I supposed to do just a cut and paste of this new configuration or am I to take the information from Appendix A and put it into the pre-existing configuration format?"
I am happy to find this post very useful for me

with big regret and big critic to Microsoft. THE CONNECTOR FOR HOME SERVER 2011 IS NOT WORKING WITH WINDOWS 10!
3 Alienware Computer could not be connected in a correct way. Launchpad and back-up is not working.
Update from Win 8.1 to Win 10!
It is a shame. The mistake is a known issue since nearly 1 year and Microsoft is not doing anything!
I use Microsoft products for over 35 years and never faced such a Situation.
It is a shame!

After Windows 10 Upgrade (RTM to November Edition) all Essentials connector software is lost. Dashboard and Essentials features are not working anymore. A complete reconnect is necessary, all prior backups seem to be lost. Does it happen on purpose? Is
there a way to restore functionality without reconnecting all computers? Please see for a further documentation.
You still have not fixed the issue. An here it is now Jan 2016, An I have a brand new Windows Server 2012 R2 standard with all updates installed and a brand new Windows 10 Pro (64Bit) system, with all windows updates installed. An still can not connect
to a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. You Windows Server Essentials connector does not work. So now when is Microsoft programmers going to fix this problem.
This pile of shite is still broken, when are you planning on fixing it properly?
I have been looking for a solution to connect Windows 10 Pro systems to our SBS 2011 STANDARD domain and none of the suggestions are working. I have tried installing the Windows Server Essential Connection wizard, it is unable to find the server, even
via the IP address (which has issued the Windows 10 I address via DHCP and has the servers IP address listed as the only DNS).
I have tried the web connect page of. That gives me an error, after running the launcher, that the computer does not meet the requirements necessary to connect to the network.
I have copied the Connect Computer program from the SBS wizard in the Standard Console, Network, Connect Computers to your network, and saved the Launcher to a flash drive and run that. Again, it is unable to find the server.
I have followed the instructions from Appendix A from this site, with no success..
I have tried 2 separate Windows 10 Pro systems and both have the same failure at connecting to the SBS 2011 server while trying to use one of the connect methods. I have turned off firewalls (software), I have confirmed tht the IP address has been issued by
the DHCP SBS server, I have confirmed and manually added the single DNS server on the Windows 10 workstation to point at the SBS 2011 server.
I can access the server via the network by server name (\Servername) and by IP address to access shares, but I am unable to join the domain.
Does anyone have any updated info on how to get this to work, or at least tell me the it wont work (Windows 10 will not connect to SBS 2011 via the connection wizard)? | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sbs/2015/11/17/client-connector-availability-with-windows-home-server-small-business-server-and-windows-server-essentials-for-supported-client-os/ | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | refinedweb | 10,623 | 63.49 |

Hello.
I installed Arch again yesterday and for the first time 7 moths ago, and I have been enjoying learning about Linux and Unixes in general. I did use the wiki extensively to address many questions and I noticed the Clover page. I would like to contribute expanding it, as I will summarize below, since I have some experience using the Clover bootloader. I've never edited a wiki before and, it appears to me, the arch community has a strict conduct, which I want to respect, so I'm posting this before actually editing or creating a talk page.
I've read … ntributing and I'm familiar with the 3 rules. I still have to learn the formatting though.
I would like to improve the page in the following ways:
Suggest the use of a plist editing program since hand editing the xml is more error prone.
Exchange AddArguments with Arguments, since the AddArguments key will pass to the linux kernel any arguments meant for the MacOs kernel, specified in another place in the plist. Linux safely ignores them though.
Provide an alternative way to configure clover using a GUI of a clover config program. Add a screenshot or two.
Clarify better how to proceed with the code provided, expanding statements like "...add following code to the relevant place."
Mention the obvious to a competent user but maybe not to a newbie that the UUID provided needs to be replaced by the appropriate value.
Add some links to other useful articles.
Add more words and remove some newlines to make the text more fluid and less like a collection of sentences.
Maybe mention that clover supports multiple config files and how this works.
Actually test things in my clover to make sure it is all tidy.
Any thoughts, encouragement, contact with previous contributors or seasoned wiki editors would be appreciated.

This sounds like a good idea. You could create this page in your namespace and then link to it from the Clover talk page and encourage people to use your page as a working edit, to polish your proposed changes.

Hi
I'm using Intel Parallel Studio XE 2020 with Visual Studio 2019.
Last night, after visual studio update to 16.7.1, when I compile any code having STL algorithm, a compilation error will occur. the sample code is:
#include <vector> #include "algorithm" int main() { std::vector<int> data(100000); auto it = std::find(data.begin(), data.end(), 100); return 0; }
And the compilation message is:
1>------ Build started: Project: Project3, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Source.cpp 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\include\xutility(63): error : type name is not allowed 1> return __builtin_bit_cast(_To, _Val); 1> ^ 1> 1>compilation aborted for Source.cpp (code 2) 1>Done building project "Project3.vcxproj" -- FAILED. ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Please guide me.
Thanks
Hi,
Will you please confirm the compiler you are using. It seems that you are using Visual Studio Compiler.
Please select Intel C++ Compiler and try debugging your code. And let us know if you are having the same issue.
Warm Regards,
Abhishek
Thank you AbhishekD_Intel
But I exactly selected Intel Compiler (as shown in the image), with Visual Studio compiler it will run without any problem.
When I switch to Visual Studio Build-Tolls 16.5, it works fine!
Do you think that is a bug in Intel Parallel Studio which is not compatible with new implementations in Visual Studio?
Note: I looked at the xutility file in two version of Visual Studio, It has major changes.
Yes, that is most likely the case. It is not recommended to use VS versions that released after the compiler released (built) date, because we won't be able to validate that VS versions prior to releasing our compiler. Thanks,
Hi,
Hope the details provided by Viet helped you. Please give us an update if you get the reason for such behavior.
Thank You,
Abhishek
I tested the sample code with the latest version of Visual Studio 2019 (16.7.2) and with both Intel Compiler 19.0 and 19.1 Update 2
For sure 19.0 has some issues with the STL ( it is easy to patch the STL files to fix that) but I have no problems with 19.1 Update 2 and your sample code compiles without error using I9.1 Update 2.
You need to attach your vcxproj file to the bug report.
Actually its very likely the OP was NOT using 19.1 Update 2
Hi,
As your issue is resolved we won't be monitoring this thread anymore. Kindly raise a new thread if you need further assistance

Keep Changes Small: A Happy Jack Story
Jack walked into the office one Monday morning. Underneath his arm, he carried a rolled-up piece of poster paper. He walked to the back of the building, where a group of couches and tables made up the "Engineering Conference Room," and used masking tape to stick his homemade poster to the wall. On it, Jack had carefully written in block letters, "KEEP CHANGES SMALL." Satisfied, he went to the cube the company let him use and waited for the developers to get there.
While he waited, Jack worked on a document for the development manager. Like most of Jack's documents, it was one page and covered a single idea. Jack described the current quality curve of the product. In the main branch of the code, where development on the next release was taking place, the curve looked like this:
Figure 1. Actual quality curve
There had been an initial batch of bug fixes left over from the current release that had been fixed, followed by new feature development -- and new bugs. Only now, near the release date, were those new bugs being addressed, and the curve starting to turn up again. The NextGen branch, where development on the "next plus one" release was happening, was even more chaotic.
Jack wanted to move towards a curve like this:
Figure 2. Ideal quality curve
If each change was small, well-contained, and easily tested, then the risk of any particular change could be minimized. So Jack proposed a new initiative, boldly titled: Keep Changes Small. This would be an effort to help the developers stay focused on making lots of small changes instead of complex big ones.
After a quick proof-read, Jack printed the sheet and placed it on the development manager's chair, and waited.
A few hours later, the document had generated the desired behavior. In response to an email from the development manager, the team was gathered in the Engineering Conference Room. Everyone looked expectantly at Jack, knowing he was probably the root cause of the meeting.
Jack smiled, and said, "I overheard a discussion Monday about the NextGen branch. Now, I don't know much about CVS, so forgive me if I get it wrong, but it sounds like we have two separate source trees right now. I thought about that for a little while and asked a few questions around the office. I want to share my observations about our present situation."
"Every time we change the code, we hope to make it better. However, there is a risk that we are making it worse. In my experience, bigger changes mean bigger risk. Bigger changes are also more complex, which means that it is hard to wrap your head around the whole set of changes, and harder to undo them if they turn out not to work."
"Take the NextGen branch, for example. Even if you make lots of little changes to that branch, that is still one whopper of a change when you merge it back in. So maybe we can figure out how to pull those changes in incrementally instead of in one big bang."
Jack pointed to his posterboard. "The reason I made this poster last night was to help you focus on the idea of keeping changes small, and see if that had a positive impact on the rest of your work. One way to think of it is, 'What can I do in the next five or ten minutes that will still compile and run, but will improve the system?' You don't have to make every change a five-minute change, but asking the question may help you see a direction to take."
Jack waited. Like many sharp people, each person on the team tended to be defensive about their areas of expertise. Since they were all good at a lot of different things, he knew he could count on at least one skeptic today.
Stu stepped up. "I understand your point and think it's fine and all. But that won't work with what I'm doing on NextGen. How are we supposed to make major architectural changes in tiny ten-minute chunks?"
Jack smiled, "I was hoping you would ask! Is there a particular part of NextGen that you're dealing with right now that we could work on together? Maybe you'll get some ideas to share."
Stu set aside some time that afternoon to work with Jack. The rest of the team decided to get together the next morning to hear about their adventure.
At 1:45, Jack was waiting when Stu got back from lunch. "Ready to get started? How about we begin with a quick sketch of the current system, to better understand what we're trying to do?"
Stu grabbed an index card and made a quick GML sketch:
Figure 3. Sketch of
DataStore
"Basically, I'm rewriting the
DataStore from the ground up. The old version uses flat files and doesn't have any transaction support. I'm switching it to use the database and be fully transactioned. Every part of the system touches the
DataStore, so it's a big change. While I'm in there, I'm also cleaning up some really crufty hacks that should never have been written."
Jack thought for a minute. "So, I'm hearing that the
DataStore is pretty tightly coupled to the rest of the system. How do other components call into it?"
"Let me show you," Stu said, navigating through his IDE.
...
DataStore ds = new DataStore();
ds.load("/usr/local/bigco/bigapp/conf.txt");
Hashtable props = ds.getProps();
String connPort = props.get("connPort");
...
props.set("connPort",userInput.get("connPort"));
ds.save();
...
"See, every time the system needs some of the static data, it has to make a call into the
DataStore. This is also how we save configuration changes. If we're halfway through saving a set of changes and the system crashes, when it comes back up it will be in an inconsistent state. That's why we need transaction support."
Jack thought some more. "If we were to loosen the coupling between the
DataStore and the rest of the system," he said, "would it be easier to change the
DataStore's behavior?"
Stu nodded. "Sure."
"So. How do we make it more loosely coupled?" Jack reached for the sketch and added a new box. He continued, "One way to make that happen is to insert an abstraction layer." Jack labeled the new box
FlexibleDataStore and drew a dotted line to isolate the
DataStore.
Figure 4. Sketch of modified
DataStore
"So let's start with a new class called
FlexibleDataStore."
Stu moused around and typed in the new class name. "Now what?"
"Commit it," Jack said, "and put it on the main branch instead of NextGen."
"But it doesn't do anything!"
"That makes it very low risk." Jack smiled happily.
Stu clicked Commit, added a snarky log message, and said "Now what?"
"Now let's think about how people will use our
FlexibleDataStore. Obviously, they want to get values out and put values in. So let's write those methods. For now, they can just use an old
DataStore to do the real work."
Stu typed:
public class FlexibleDataStore {
private DataStore ds = new DataStore();
public String get(String s) {
ds.load("/usr/local/bigco/bigapp/conf.txt");
return ds.get(s);
}
public String set(String key, String value) {
ds.load("/usr/local/bigco/bigapp/conf.txt");
ds.set(key,value);
ds.save();
}
}
"Great. Let's commit those changes."
After doing so, Stu suggested, "Now we need to make the system use the new
FlexibleDataStore instead of
DataStore."
Jack nodded. "Exactly. You can commit after each change, because it is fairly low risk moving from
DataStore to
FlexibleDataStore. In fact, each time you do it, the risk gets lower, because you know all of the previous changes have worked." He paused, then added, "Of course, if you were writing unit tests throughout, those would also tell you if everything was still working."
Excitedly (and missing the hint about unit tests altogether), Stu started looking for classes to change. Then he stopped, "What about the transaction processing? We haven't added that yet."
"You're right," said Jack, "If you're going to change all the classes to use
FlexibleDataStore, you might as well add the calls to handle transactions while you're there. You don't want to have to go back and edit all of those classes a second time. How can we minimize the risk and minimize the annoyance factor?"
Stu pondered. "Well," he finally ventured, "I guess we could add methods to start a transaction and then commit it. I can add those calls while I'm switching to
FlexibleDataStore." He thought some more. "For now, those methods can just be no-ops and then I can flesh them out later."
"Good idea! You'll probably want to save implementing them for after you add the database support. Before I let you get started converting classes, do you have any thoughts on how to manage the risk while moving to the database?"
"That's a good question. I'd gotten so excited about what we'd done so far, I hadn't realized that we hadn't accomplished much towards our goal." Stu looked at Jack, but Jack was waiting for Stu to figure it out.
After a minute, Jack prompted him, "Remember the main rules for being able to commit: it compiles, it runs, and it doesn't make things worse -- and it passes all the tests, of course."
"I guess I could add a second type of
DataStore for
FlexibleDateStore to use. As long as it wasn't being used yet, I could add methods to it. Maybe even a runtime flag to say which
DataStore to use, so I could test."
"Ah," said Jack, "Be careful. You've almost fallen into a trap. Do you see what it is?"
Stu pondered, and then smiled slowly. "If I add a bunch of code to the database-driven
DataStore without hooking it up incrementally, then when I finally do hook it up, that's equivalent to one big change! All my risk came back!"
Jack beamed. "Exactly. So, what about adding a runtime flag to
FlexibleDataStore so you can test against both back ends?"
"That would let me test all long," said Stu. "And, it would still protect the demo system if people load the latest code onto it."
Jack said, "It still might be a good idea to send around an email to let everyone know what you're up to, in case they're going to be touching nearby code. Sounds like you've got the idea. I'll let you work."
The next morning, the team reassembled. As soon as Stu walked in, Dan said, "Stu, you must have committed 100 times yesterday! I was flooded with email notices. Why didn't you just commit at the end of the day like usual?"
Stu explained. "Well, to begin with, by committing lots of little changes, it's easy to know what to roll back if something breaks. If it turns out one of the changes I made causes a problem, we can know pretty much which lines of code the bug is in."
"I also found it much easier to focus on what I was doing. I even wrote a few unit tests while I was going! Every change I made yesterday resulted in a clean build. Hopefully, each one made the system better, but at least none of them made things worse."
Dan grumbled a little, several people asked Stu to explain more about what he had worked on, and a very happy Jack smiled.
Author's Note: Jack used a very common software pattern to loosen the coupling in the system. Jack usually calls the pattern Facade, but it goes by many other names. Shield, Mediator, Bridge, Wrapper, and Driver are just a few. I always think of it as a wrapper, but I suspect Shield is the most general name. Of course, some people say it's not a pattern at all, but just good factoring.

am trying to sort an array using bubble sort and at each step of sort I want to render the change in position of values inside an array. So made the below algorithm with React, at very first time it does render the changes but then gets stop, doesn’t render anything. I tried to console log the array I am rendering in and I am getting the each sort step on console but don’t know why it is not working here. Can anybody please tell me why it’s happening so? also what can be done?
Note: It was working fine and rendering the sorted array initially, but later when I added
setTimeOut function it is not working.
App.js
import React, { useState } from "react"; const App = () => { const [arrayForSort, setArrayForSort] = useState([44,2,46,11,15,34,1,7,55]); const fetchArray = arrayForSort.map((element) => { return <span>{element} </span>; }); const bubbleSort = (array) => { let newArray = [...array]; let n = newArray.length; for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) { for (let j = 0; j < n - i; j++) { const myVar = setTimeout(() => { if (newArray[j] > newArray[j + 1]) { [newArray[j], newArray[j + 1]] = [newArray[j + 1], newArray[j]]; } console.log(newArray); // render each step of sort setArrayForSort(newArray); // on screen it just shows "2 44 46 11 15 34 1 7 55" the very first step of sort }, 2000); } } }; return ( <div> <h4>Array: </h4> <span>{fetchArray}</span> <div> <button onClick={() => { bubbleSort(arrayForSort); }} > Sort </button> </div> </div> ); }; export default App; | https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/react-component-not-getting-rendered-each-time-when-state-changed/455866 | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | refinedweb | 246 | 60.04 |
Set coding for .txt files permanently to OEM850
When I open an existing .txt file, I always have to change coding to Western European OEM850 in order to get German characters äöß displayed correctly.
How can I change Notepad++ settings so that this coding is set as default?
Note: this is not a problem, when I create a *.txt file with notepad++. Then everything is ok.
But when I create a file from within a command prompt in Windows e.g., the display is not correct.
Example:
DOS prompt: cmd /? > text.txt
This command creates a file text.txt, which contains äöü (Windows is set to German language). Opening this file in Notepad++ gives odd characters unless coding is changed to Western European OEM850.
but this could affect other files that are encoded in different format,
so may I advise another solution, why not creating a batch file which sets the encoding of the cmd to utf-8?
Something like
@echo off rem change encoding to UTF-8 chcp 65001 cls
Then create a link to call
cmd.exe /k NAME_OF_THE_BATCH_FILE
Within this shell you can run your commands which will produce utf-8 output.
Cheers
Claudia
Thank you, Claudia.
Your solution works - of course, however I´d prefer a sloution, which changes default behaviour of NP++.
The reason is simple - now in about 95% of my .txt files I have to change codepage, only the rest would be affected negativly by a change in NP++.
So if there is a chance for a different solution, please give me a hint.
Thanks again, Pete
An option to automatically set the character-set was requested for the EditorConfig Notepad++ plugin. Not sure though if it’s in the latest release (v0.3.1.0). It might be a solution for you.
@MAPJe71
Thank you for your hint - but I´m afraid, setting up EditorConfig Notepad++ plugin is far beyond my skills of operating a text editor.
Pete,
as there is no builtin function the only other way I see is to use a script like below.
def callback_FILEOPENED(args): bufferid = args['bufferID'] _file = notepad.getBufferFilename(args['bufferID']) if _file[-4:] == '.txt': notepad.activateBufferID(bufferid) notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850) notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED]) notepad.callback(callback_FILEOPENED, [NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED])
To make this run it would require to install python script plugin (preferable the msi package, not via Plugin manager),
and add the lines to the end of the autostart.py.
This script would check on load of a file if the extension is .txt and if so, set the oem850 charset.
Cheers
Claudia
Thank you Claudia.
I got a partial sucess.
Following your instructions I added the text above to a file startup.py (I didn´t get a file autostart.py).
Double clicking a *.txt file works for the 1st file in Multi-Instance mode, but not for the 2nd or further files.
But I´m quite happy with that solution
Cheers
Pete
omg - seems yesterday wasn’t my day.
You are absolutely right, it has to be startup.py, there is no autostart.py.
And in addition I forgot to tell you that you need to change the configuration
from LAZY to ATSTARTUP. (Plugins->Python Script->Configuration->Initialisation:)
Sorry for being so imprecise.
I just tested
- double click on single *.txt file ->oem850
- selected multiple *.txt, right click edit with notepad++ ->every file has been set to oem850
- started 2nd npp and double click on txt file -> oem850
used 2nd npp and open file using file dialog -> oem850
Hopefully it will work for you as well.
Cheers
Claudia
Claudia,
thanks again for your very fast reply.
This ATSTARTUP issue was not really a problem for me.
I´m sorry too - I was also very imprecise.
Things are much more complicated, than it seemed to be during this discussion.
A couple of more things have influence on the behaviour of NPP with my files:
Our ways of operationg NPP seem to be different, this influences the behaviour of NPP. I always start NPP by double-clicking a *.txt file (this is, how you tested this too). I have set NPP to Multi-Instance mode, so double clicking a 2nd and 3rd *.txt file starts a second and third instance of NPP. This works as I like it, but this is a bit different to your way of operating NPP.
and this has big influence: I use NPP Portable in a PortableApps environment. With this I have 2 *.exe files, which I can set as a Standard to open .txt files on doubleclick in my Windows10 x64 operating system:
list item1st file is D:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Notepad++Portable.exe
list item2nd file is D:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
When I set the 2nd file as standard in Windows, the first .txt file opens with OEM850 codepage set correctly. Doubleclicking the next and further .txt files open NPP in seperate instances, but OEM850 does not work. Additionally I get a very strange behaviour of NPP when I modify any NPP settings (such as show line numbers or bookmark display), so I think I shouldn´t use this 2nd file as a standard in Windows.
When I set above 1st file as Standard in Windows, NPP works correctly regarding change of settings - however the Python script does not work at doubleclick on .txt files (not even for the first file). The PY script is active, because when I drag a second file into a NPP window (opend by doubleclick on 1st .txt file), this 2nd file is opened (in a second tab of course) with codepade changed to OEM850.
Claudia, you see, this is very complicated. I doubt, that there is a simply solution. I think, it would be best for me to try the whole thing again with an installed version of NPP (though I like that PortableApps applications very much).
Thanks again for your help, which I appreciated very much.
Cheers Pete
Claudia,
an addidtional remark:
in the meantime I downloaded NPP.msi and installed it in a Win10 virtual machine (in the way, programs are installed normally in Windows), added Python script and edited sartup.py.
Result:
Drag´drop a .txt file to an open NPP window works (I get OEM830 codepage).
Doubleclicking that .txt file does not work (no OEM850 settings)
I have no idea, why doubleclick does not work, though you tested this.
Cheers Pete
Pete,
you are right - strange behavior.
I installed portableapps and notepad++ and discovered the same thing.
It looks like the file has been already loaded before python script plugin
receives the ready callback.
To overcome this I have added the ready callback
def callback_FILEOPENED(args): bufferid = args['bufferID'] _file = notepad.getBufferFilename(args['bufferID']) if _file[-4:] == '.txt': notepad.activateBufferID(bufferid) notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850) def callback_READY(args): _file = notepad.getCurrentFilename() if _file[-4:] == '.txt': notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850) notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED]) notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.READY]) notepad.callback(callback_FILEOPENED, [NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED]) notepad.callback(callback_READY, [NOTIFICATION.READY])
It looks like it works as long as you open only one file at a time.
Whenever you select multiple files then something even weird happens, the configuration
changes from ATSTARTUP to LAZY and nothing get executed at all. ???
As you said, your way to work is to double click on files it should do it for you - even with portable apps.
Fyi - I installed windows 10 as guest in virtualbox and did the same test with an installed npp and it was working for me.
But hopefully you can live with the other solution otherwise let me know.
Cheers
Claudia
Claudia, that´s perfect!
I added some code, so it´s working now also for .ini and .log files. I portable version of NPP I now can open as many files as I want, they show up correctly.
Many thanks! I´m happy now.
Cheers Pete
For those, who want to mak same modifications: here is my extension of STARTUP.PY
def callback_FILEOPENED(args):
bufferid = args[‘bufferID’]
_file = notepad.getBufferFilename(args[‘bufferID’])
if _file[-4:] == ‘.txt’:
notepad.activateBufferID(bufferid)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
elif _file[-4:] == ‘.ini’:
notepad.activateBufferID(bufferid)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
elif _file[-4:] == ‘.log’:
notepad.activateBufferID(bufferid)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
def callback_READY(args):
_file = notepad.getCurrentFilename()
if _file[-4:] == ‘.txt’:
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
elif _file[-4:] == ‘.ini’:
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
elif _file[-4:] == ‘.log’:
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FORMAT_DOS_850)
notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED])
notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.READY])
notepad.callback(callback_FILEOPENED, [NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED])
notepad.callback(callback_READY, [NOTIFICATION.READY])
Claudia,
I forgot to mention, that this is also working in the installed version of NPP.
So all working absolutely perfect!
Thanks again

Hi All,
I am trying to call android activity on click of GridView item, I have 4 menu option in GridView so want to call activity based on clicked item.
gridView.ItemClick += delegate (object sender, AdapterView.ItemClickEventArgs args) {
// here I want to call next activity
};
Kindly suggest that how can I get item value and compare that to call activity.
Thanks
Arun
Answers
StartActivity (typeof(YourActivity));
Thanks Beray for answer
Let me clarify what I want to do, I have created dashboard using GridView and having 4 menu options in that. Each menu has one Activity class and I am not able to call specific activity based on item clicked in GridView. GridView layout is having Image and Text View to show up menu.
gridView.ItemClick += delegate (object sender, AdapterView.ItemClickEventArgs args) {
Toast.MakeText(this, args.Position.ToString(), ToastLength.Short).Show(); // in this I am only getting item poistion
StartActivity(typeof(CreateServiceRequest)); // here I am able to call single activity but no decision making call
};
So will I get only item position on GridView click and that only be the logic to next Activity?
If I am not that much clear please let me know any option to connect back to you so I can make you understand complete scenario.
Thanks,
G Arun
this is my problem toooooo
please answer this question
@G.Arun , @AljohnPopeAndrade
Hi friends,
public class Page { public string Title {get; set;} public Type PageType {get; set;} }

_pages= new List<Page>(); _pages.Add(new Page() { Title="Page 1", PageType = typeof(Your_1_activity) } _pages.Add(new Page() { Title="Page 2", PageType = typeof(Your_2_activity) } _pages.Add(new Page() { Title="Page 3", PageType = typeof(Your_3_activity) } _pages.Add(new Page() { Title="Page 4", PageType = typeof(Your_4_activity) }
gridView.ItemClick += delegate (object sender, AdapterView.ItemClickEventArgs args) { StartActivity(_pages[args.Position].PageType); // here you are able to call the activity you need };
Hope that helps

Let T(N) be the number of distinct (non-congruent) triangles with integer sides and perimeter N. For example, T(12) = 3 because there are three distinct triangles with integer sides and perimeter 12. There’s the equilateral triangle with sides 4 : 4 : 4, and the Pythagorean triangle 3 : 4 : 5. With a little more work we can find 2 : 5 : 5.
The authors in [1] developed an algorithm for finding T(N). The following Python code is a direct implementation of that algorithm.
def T(N :int): if N < 3: return 0 base_cases = {4:0, 6:1, 8:1, 10:2, 12:3, 14:4} if N in base_cases: return base_cases[N] if N % 2 == 0: R = N % 12 if R < 4: R += 12 return (N**2 - R**2)//48 + T(R) if N % 2 == 1: return T(N+3)
If you’re running a version of Python that doesn’t support type hinting, just delete the
:int in the function signature.
Since this is a recursive algorithm, we should convince ourselves that it terminates. In the branch for even
N, the number R is an even number between 4 and 14 inclusive, and so it’s in the
base_cases dictionary.
In the odd branch, we recurse on
N+3, which is a little unusual since typically recursive functions decrease their argument. But since
N is odd,
N+3 is even, and we’ve already shown that the even branch terminates.
The code
(N**2 - R**2)//48 raises a couple questions. Is the numerator divisible by 48? And if so, why specify integer division (
//) rather than simply division (
/)?
First, the numerator is indeed divisible by 48. N is congruent to R mod 12 by construction, and so N – M is divisible by 12. Furthermore,
N² – R² = (N – R)(N + R).
The first term on the right is divisible by 12, so if the second term is divisible by 4, the product is divisible by 48. Since N and R are congruent mod 12, N + R is congruent to 2R mod 12, and since R is even, 2R is a multiple of 4 mod 12. That makes it a multiple of 4 since 12 is a multiple of 4.
So if (N² – R²)/48 is an integer, why did I write Python code that implies that I’m taking the integer part of the result? Because otherwise the code would sometimes return a floating point value. For example,
T(13) would return 5.0 rather than 5.
Here’s a plot of T(N).

No need to recurse!

Nope, confusingly enough the module

datetime, so
datetime.datetime.
To have the follwing DAG working:
my_dag = DAG("sample_dag", schedule_interval="0 0 * * *" start_date=datetime.datetime(2020, 4, 29) )
We would need to import the whole module,
import datetime.
In the original code you can thinks that
from datetime import datetime creates a shortcut to
datetime.datetime.
Nope, Airflow will pick up the Tasks in our DAG following the dependency tree we defined. If we remove

I am trying to understand the bit shift operation
>>
-2 >> 1 # -1
-3 >> 1 # -2
-5 >> 1 # -3
-7 >> 1 # -4
The full explanation is provided here.").
Of course, Python doesn't use 8-bit numbers. It USED to use however many bits were native to your machine, but since that was non-portable, it has recently switched to using an INFINITE number of bits. Thus the number -5 is treated by bitwise operators as if it were written "...1111111111111111111011".
So, the explanation for shift operator:
x >> y Returns x with the bits shifted to the right by y places. This is the same as //'ing x by 2**y.
In order to understand the above explanation you can check it out with something like this:
def twos_comp(val, nbits): """Compute the 2's complement of int value val""" if val < 0: val = (1 << nbits) + val else: if (val & (1 << (nbits - 1))) != 0: # If sign bit is set. # compute negative value. val = val - (1 << nbits) return val def foo(a,b): print("{0:b} >> {1:b} = {2:b} <==> {3:b} >> {4:b} = {5:b}".format( a,b,a>>b, twos_comp(a,8),b, twos_comp(a>>b,8) )) foo(-2, 1) foo(-3, 1) foo(-5, 1) foo(-7, 1)
Which outputs:
-10 >> 1 = -1 <==> 11111110 >> 1 = 11111111 -11 >> 1 = -10 <==> 11111101 >> 1 = 11111110 -101 >> 1 = -11 <==> 11111011 >> 1 = 11111101 -111 >> 1 = -100 <==> 11111001 >> 1 = 11111100
As you can see, the two's complement of the number will extend the sign. | https://codedump.io/share/QHMUllCJAYF2/1/bit-shifting-of-negative-integer | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | refinedweb | 250 | 76.56 |

The new transactions manager has no proper "batching" concept like nsITransactionManager's begin/endBatch. However, |transact| accepts a generator function for its input (the consumers "yields" transactions and when the generator returns there's only a single entry in the transaction history). This mode resembles old-style batching, but it's mostly intended for replacing "child transaction" usage (e.g. "Bookmark All Tabs"). In the past, consumers of nsITransactionManager had trouble with transaction-less batches. nsITransactionManager used to consider those batches a no-op, so that if undo is called after such a batch was closed, the "previous" undo entry, if any, would be undone. For places, the workaround was to commit a dummy transaction whenever beginBatch was called. For the HTML5 Undo Manager, an "allowEmpty" argument was added to endBatch. Moving forward with the new places-oriented API, I think the generator-mode isn't going to work for "batching" in the edit-bookmark star-popup (I think we'll add something like undoUntil for that). Since that's the only case in which the allowEmpty/dummy-transaction solution made sense, the initial implementation of |transact| works "the old way" - i.e. if no transaction is yielded, the transaction history is left unchanged. We may want to revise this decision as consumers are converted to the new API.
The only problematic case is the star panel, and I don't think we can use transact there anyway, thus I think the current semantics are fine. Therefore I'm morphing this bug to cover a proper solution for the star panel issue (which cannot batch by transact). After-the-fact transactions grouping is one option.

Marco, please add this to the current iteration. It blocks bug 951651.

Summary: Async Places Transactions: Solution for implementing Cancel/Undo in the star panel → Async Places Transactions: Solution for implementing Cancel/Undo in bookmarks dialog and Star UI
Note that while I'm happy with these API changes regardless of the reason they're necessary now (I was never satisfied with my custom Task.spawn trick), I don't consider this a good solution for the Cancel/Undo use case at all; So I filed bug 1093030 for figuring out something else. However, for the time being this will do. I'll just need to be careful in bug 951651 not to end up with any nested batches.

Admin URL bug with CharField primary keys
Description
I have the following primary key field:
id = models.CharField(_('id'), max_length=40, primary_key=True)
The value is: 126130274108967_190034094385251 (a Facebook post id)
The admin interface change list correctly shows that id. But the url of the item is
126130274108967_5F190034094385251/ notice the _5F... in the middle.
This causes a 404 every time I create a new entry.

Simon

I just set up a new project from scratch and created just this model. And I still got the error every time. The 404 happens when I click on save and continue editing.
As BernhardEssl mentioned, the primary keys are quoted which probabely makes sense. But then the 'save and continue editing' function should take the quoting into consideration.

As far as I understand the quote function in util.py do the escaping.

Users can change Word view mode according to own reading habit. This guide introduces a solution to set Word view modes in C# and VB.NET.
There are several Word View Modes provided with customers, including Print Layout, Web Layout, Full Screen, Draft, Outline and Zoom in/out with specified percentage. The view mode can be selected when opening to make the document to be presented to match readers’ reading habit. This guide focuses on demonstrating how to set Word view mode in C# and VB.NET via Spire.Doc for .NET. The screenshot presents the result after setting Word view mode.
Spire.Doc for .NET, specializing in operating Word in .NET, offers a ViewSetup class to enable users to set Word view modes through assigning specified values for its properties. In this example, the Word view modes will be set as Web Layout with zoom out 150 percent. Therefore, the set properties of ViewSetup class include DocumentViewType, ZoomPercent and ZoomType.
DocumentViewTyp: There are five types provided by Spire.Doc for .NET: None, NormalLayout, OutlineLayout, PrintLayout and WebLayout.
ZoomPercent: The default ZoomPercent is 100. User can set other percent according to requirements. In this example, ZoomPercent is set as 150.
ZoomType: There are four zoom types provided by Spire.Doc for .NET: Full Page to automatically recalculate zoom percentage to fit one full page; None to use the explicit zoom percentage; PageWidth to automatically recalculate zoom percentage to fit page width; TextFit to automatically recalculate zoom percentage to fit text. Because the zoom percentage is set as 150, so the ZoomType is set as None in this example.
Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and follow the code:
using Spire.Doc; namespace WordViewMode { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Document doc ="); } } }
Imports Spire.Doc Namespace WordViewMode Friend Class Program Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String) Dim doc As") End Sub End Class End Namespace
Spire.Doc, professional Word component, is specially designed for developers to fast generate, write, modify and save Word documents in .NET, Silverlight and WPF with C# and VB.NET. Also, it supports conversion between Word and other popular formats, such as PDF, HTML, Image, Text and so on, in .NET and WPF platform. | https://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Spire.Doc/Spire.Doc-Program-Guide/NET-Word-Set-Word-View-Modes-in-C-and-VB.NET.html | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | refinedweb | 370 | 58.08 |
I'm trying to count the number of correct (sorted) positions in an array.
example:
10 positions are correct.10 positions are correct.Code:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
example2:
9 positions are correct.9 positions are correct.Code:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
example3:
0 positions are correct.0 positions are correct.Code:10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
example4:
1 positions are correct.1 positions are correct.Code:10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 15
The code i'm using now for this doesn't work:
So, my counting algorithm (in red) increases by one, if a value is less than the value in front of it.So, my counting algorithm (in red) increases by one, if a value is less than the value in front of it.Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int PickBestSort(int array1[], int size); int PrintArray(int array1[], int size); int main() { int array1[10] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}; int array2[10] = {10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}; int size = 10; PickBestSort(array1, size); PrintArray(array1, size); cout << endl; return 0; } int PickBestSort(int array1[], int size) { float percentSorted = 0; for(int i = 0; i < (size-1) ; i++) { //Checks how sorted the array is. The higher "percentSorted" is, the more sorted the array is. if (array1[i] <= array1[i+1]) { percentSorted++; } } cout << endl << "Percent Sorted: " << percentSorted*10 << endl; cout << endl << percentSorted << " out of " << size << " positions are correct." << endl; //If 20% or less of the array is sorted, then it is considered to be reverse sorted. if ( percentSorted <= 20) { cout << endl << "The array is reverse sorted or close to being reverse sorted." << endl; } //If 80% or more of the array is sorted, then it is considered to be already sorted. else if ( percentSorted >= 80) { cout << endl << "The array is already sorted or close to being already sorted." << endl; } //If between 20% and 80% of the array is sorted, then it is considered to be random. else { cout << endl << "The array is random or close to being random." << endl; } return 0; } int PrintArray(int array1[], int size) { cout << endl; for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) { cout << array1[j]; cout << " "; } return 0; }
Right now, in example 1, my program will only say 9 positions are correct, instead of 10. This is because the last value in the array isn't compared to anything. However, examples 3 and 4 will read correctly. If if change the algorithm to where examples 1 and 2 work, then 3 and 4 won't work (they will say one more position is correct than really is). I can't figure out a counting algorithm that will work for all cases.
I am only suppose to run through the array once to analyze it, and i can't change the array, because it will mess up the sorting algorithm later on in the program, and i don't think i'm suppose to change the array once the numbers are read into it.
If you are wondering, my program is suppose to analyze an array, and choose a sorting algorithm based on efficiency. I'm trying to determine how sorted the array is, so i can best choose the most efficient sort.
Any ideas?

I have a vector of pointers that I really need to make sure the used memory is free before proceeding with other tasks in the program. I do not want to rely on operating system to manage the calls to

return double(li.QuadPart - CounterStart) / PCFreq;

It took 16834.9ms to empty the vector!
Press ENTER to exit.
The improvement is trivial: use
vector<int> instead of
vector<int*>, since you're storing only one element per pointer.
If your data is larger and you really need to store pointers, use
unique_ptr or
boost::ptr_vector. This isn't 1980 anymore, you can use RAII.
As for slow cleanup, it's probably because your runtime has a lot of entries in their small allocation structures and has to walk them all to find the correct one.
If you need to have a vector of pointers but need faster deallocation, try keeping the vector of pointers as it is and keep the actual data in
deque-like container (a
list of
array<data_t,32>, perhaps? You'd have to do the index-keeping yourself, but it'd speed up deletion if that's the bottleneck). | https://codedump.io/share/7w6ldpwPrwqw/1/deleting-elements-in-vector-takes-forever-to-complete | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | refinedweb | 348 | 60.01 |
Middlewares And React Redux Life Cycle
If you have built Node.js apps using frameworks like Express.js, you are probably aware of functions called “middlewares” and how they work. Redux brings that same concept to the front-end.
What are Middlewares?
Middlewares are functions that are automatically called by the framework(Redux in our case) somewhere in the middle of the supposed control flow to enhance or change the output, before the end of the control flow.
For example: If the framework’s usual control flow without middleware is:
funcA — calls→ funcB — calls→ funcC
When the middlewares are added, the control flow may look like:
funcA — calls→ funcB — calls→ funcMiddleWare1 — back to →funcB. funcB → then calls→ funcMiddleWare2 — back to→ funcB. funcB — finally calls→ funcC
Notice that funcB ultimately calls funcC but calls two middlewares before calling funcC.
Redux Life Cycle w/ And w/o Middlewares
Let’s take a look at Redux app life cycle (control flow) to understand it better.
Scenario: Clicking on the “Click Me” button, updates the “Clicked xyz times” text.
Note: You can click on the pictures to Zoom and read
Scenario: Now, let’s say when the user clicks the button, we want to save click count to the server and also do console logs of state changes for debugging. We could use middlewares! Let’s see how the control flow looks now.
In Redux, middleware functions are called one-by-one until all of them are called and then the “Action” object is sent to the “Reducers”.
Note: This is to allow middlewares to potentially modify Action object, resolve AJAX calls, and do other things like logging, before finally calling reducers. Reducers will then update state and rerender the app if needed.
Using Middlewares
Redux has a huge community that has built up massive number of middleware functions that do all sorts of things.
All you need to use it is:
- Install it via npm and
- Configure or add it to Redux.
For example: In my previous blog: A Guide For Building A React Redux CRUD App , the app makes an AJAX request for CRUD operations.
In that, I use a library called Axios to make the AJAX calls. But Axios returns a Promise in return. But Actions need to be pure JSON object with all the data before it reaches Reducers. So, I ended up using redux-promise to intercept anytime the “Action” contains a Promise object and resolve it before the control hits the Reducers.
In order to use that first I had to install
npm install — save redux-promise
Then configure it to Redux like below:
import React from ‘react’;
...
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from ‘redux’;
import rp from ‘redux-promise’; // <------------ MIDDLEWARE
...//add middlewares
const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(rp)(createStore);ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={createStoreWithMiddleware(reducers)}>
<Router history={browserHistory} routes={routes} />
</Provider>
, document.getElementById(‘body’));
How does a Middleware Work?
If you look at the redux-promise’ source code, you’ll see how it looks and works.
Here is the pseudo code.
- Redux calls middleware w/ , “dispatch”(function) and “next”(function) and the “action” JSON object.
2. Middleware inspects “action” object to see if it has a Promise.
3. If there are no Promise, then it calls “next” function to return control back to Redux.
4 If it does, then it attaches(chains) it’s own success and a failure callbacks and waits for the response from the server.
4.1 And once the Promise is resolved, it finally calls “dispatch” function to return result or error(from the server) and sends it back to Redux.
//redux-promise middleware source codeimport { isFSA } from 'flux-standard-action';
function isPromise(val) {
return val && typeof val.then === 'function';
}
export default function promiseMiddleware({ dispatch }) {
return next => action => {
if (!isFSA(action)) {
return isPromise(action)
? action.then(dispatch)
: next(action);
}
return isPromise(action.payload)
? action.payload.then(
result => dispatch({ ...action, payload: result }),
error => dispatch({ ...action, payload: error, error: true })
)
: next(action);
};
}

Whidbey contains cool class HttpListener under System.Net namespace, it allows you to create your your own HttpServer on top of HttpSys. Some of you aske about steps for configuring HttpListener to work with SSL. Basically you need to configure httpsys. You need to bound particular port to a server certificate, where you want your listener to listen
1) install the server certificate in machine store – you can manually install certificate using mmc (Alternatively you can also use winhttpcertcfg command line tool, which is available with win32 SDK install)2) next step is to bind the port to use this certificate, this could be done using httpcfg tool (Also a part of win32 sdk), following example demonstrate configuration for port 9443 a. Command line with no client certificate authentication > httpcfg.exe set ssl -i 0.0.0.0:9443 -c "MY" -h <Certificate Hash> b. Command line with client certificate authentication > httpcfg.exe set ssl -i 0.0.0.0:9443 -f 2 -c "MY" -h <Certificate Hash>
To know more about System.Net.HttpListener, check the System.Net Whidbey documentation
To know more about winhttpcertcfg.exe and httpcfg.exe, you could follow the following links,

In Topic: Organizing and Working with Classes and Objects
Posted 17 Dec 2015
Quoteabout headers: should classes which basically belong together be concluded in one header? Like for example a header "bank.hpp" where you define a customer, account etc. class?
It's your choice. If you have an important/big class and one or two accompanying helper/wrapper/tightly bound classes that are very small - you may choose to have them all in one place for convenience. Now, do you want all your classes in one single file? Probably not. That's your choice to make, though.
QuoteI don't think it is like in Java, where every class should use a new file (in this case bank.hpp, customer.hpp, account.hpp)
In Java every class _should_ be in its own file, but doesn't necessarily have to. You can have multiple classes in a single file, but you have to be aware of how that works and of some limitations involved.
Also, you do know that you can (sometimes have to, sometimes want to) split the header file with declarations (.h, .hpp*...) from the implementation file with definitions (.cpp, .cxx...), right? It helps compilation times on subsequent compilations, at a cost of duplicating some information.
____
*) though, there exists a convention of .hpp files being used as self-contained headers, as in - the definitions/implementations are all there, there's no accompanying .cpp file. Common with templates.
However, as is the case with conventions - it's not the only one. There are others that use .h only for C headers, or C++ that's made compatible with C headers - so that if you include .h you know it's safe in C. By that logic .hpp (.hh, .hxx...) is used for C++-only headers, regardless if the implementation is self-contained or in accompanying .cpp - thus in C-land you know not to include those.
That's, again, your choice to make what kind of convention you wish to follow - or if at all.
In Topic: program crashes. I think malloc() wrong
Posted 16 Dec 2015The issue is - why use a dynamic array of pointers to structure, when you can just have a pointer to structure and malloc memory for n structures.
In Topic: program crashes. I think malloc() wrong
Posted 16 Dec 2015
/*Dhlwsh stigmiotypwn poy apothikeyontai dynamika sthn mnhmh */ struct Rental** listOfRentals; /* Dynamikh apo8hkeysh me xrhsh malloc() */ listOfRentals =(struct Rental**) malloc(sizeof(struct Rental*) * listSize); /* elegxos se periptwsh pou den yparxei arketos xwros */ if (listOfRentals==NULL){ printf("\nOUt of memory"); return (-1); } for (j=0; j<listSize; j++) { listOfRentals[j] =((struct Rental*)malloc(sizeof(struct Rental)*listSize)); if ((listOfRentals[j])==NULL) { printf("\nOUt of memory"); return (-1); } }
Can you explain what you're doing here?
That was already rightfully called out by jjl even before you posted the code. Do you need a pointer to a pointer? Because as is you have a list of lists of Rentals (or rather, an array of arrays... or rather... oh I'll stop here
).
Seeing how you use listOfRentals[currentRental]->carLicense - I'd go on a limb and say that you're wasting (sizeof struct Rental*) * listSize + (sizeof struct Rental) * (listSize - 1) bytes of memory in your program.
In Topic: program crashes. I think malloc() wrong
Posted 14 Dec 2015I was under the impression that you were under time constraints? Why not address those previous points in code and get back to us with it?
Did you run your program with a debugger to see where it crashes?
In Topic: More advanced uses for scope guards
Posted 14 Dec 2015That's interesting.
I'll get to the video a bit later in the day, in the meantime - would it be to much to ask for a more involved example of, say, SCOPE_FAILURE? In your example, specifically, what if open() throws?
Also, not that it matters much since the support as far as I can tell is wide - but __COUNTER__ surprisingly isn't standard, right?

America. To call these forces anti-science is accurate but not the entire story. It's something broader than that.
The Good Old Days
In his introduction to Six Days, Ginger emphasized the role that recent immigration had played in reanimating fear-based practices and policies among white Americans. "The anxiety was nationwide, because some of the major causes were nationwide," he wrote. First, there had been the great European migration to America in the 1890s. "The new immigrant groups came to be voting blocs of more significance than were native-born Americans in one city after another," Ginger wrote.
Next came the Great War. "The sense of losing one's birthright, of alienation, of betrayal, was heightened by World War I," Ginger wrote:
Before the war Christianity had turned increasingly toward the Social Gospel, which sought to face the social problems of industrialism and urbanism and to deal with them in a spirit of practical idealism. ... Then came the war. ... Gone was the previous hopefulness, the cheery conviction that progress is inevitable. ...
Present, too, with many, was a vague sense of guilt. ... The feeling of having sinned, of being on the verge of eternal damnation, was intolerable, and men had to assure themselves of their basic goodness. This effort required a simple definition of morality: a good man is a man who does not drink, or smoke, or gamble, or commit adultery, or contravene the Word of the Bible, and who punishes the sins of others.
This "social creed," Ginger argued, was heavily promoted by corporate interests, including the United States Chamber of Commerce. These business groups, he wrote, "helped to create good growing weather for the anti-evolutionary movement. They too preached the overwhelming need for social order, for stony-faced resistance to change." From Six Days:
The big business groups and the fundamentalists likewise agreed that education should consist in the inculcation of received truths, not in the development among students of certain modes of analysis, not in the discovery of new truths. Truth is known. Teach it. Who knows it? We do. How do you learn it? The fundamentalists replied: God revealed it to us. The business groups replied: We are the elite. We know everything.
Ginger distilled these attitudes. "A desperate flight backward to old certainties replaced the prewar belief in gradual adaptation to new conditions," he wrote. "In a convulsion of filiopiety, men tried to deny the present by asserting a fugitive and monastic virtue. Not progress, but stability and certainty." This dynamic helped explain, Ginger wrote, the new rise of fundamentalism as a political force. It accounted for great skepticism of the new truths of science. And it generated the rise in nativism and xenophobia that gripped the nation during that time as well as the restrictive immigration policies that resulted from it.
There is evidence all around that the same thing is happening today. We have a new generation of fear and prejudice wrought by a new wave of immigration. We have a new wave of weariness of war after two more bloody conflicts. And we have a new wave of skepticism about science that has manifested itself in two distinct ways. Nearly 90 years after the Scopes trial, there are still anti-evolution forces pushing to include creationism in our public schools And nearly 90 years after the Monkey trial corporate forces still are pushing back against science, still promoting the "inculcation of received truths."
Creationism
The Tennessee law that started it all was called the Butler Act, named after an earnest, well-meaning lawmaker named John Washington Butler who drafted the statute after he heard a story, from a traveling preacher, about a young woman who had gone to college and come back believing in evolution. Why did Butler do it? "In the first place," he said later, "the Bible is the foundation upon which our American Government is built. ... The evolutionist who denies the Biblical story of creation, as well as other Biblical accounts, cannot be a Christian. It goes hand in hand with Modernism, makes Jesus Christ a fakir, robs the Christian of his hope and undermines the foundation of our Government."
And so Butler wrote a bill that he hoped would delay if not actually stop "Modernism," a measure he hoped would insulate the children of his age from what he considered a radical and dubious theory, one that directly threatened the moral and legal building blocks of the society he cherished. In pertinent part, the law he drafted (that was challenged by John Scopes).
Now let's speed ahead 90 years, to late September 2013, and to Sunday's edition of The New York Times for a story out of Texas. Here's the lede in Motoko Rich's piece:.... Six of them are known to reject evolution.
Texas is not the only state where creationism is seeking to make a return to public policy. This year, Oklahoma flirted with an anti-evolution measure -- it passed out of Committee but died without a vote in the legislature. Last year, Alabama went down the same path. The year before that, in 2011, Florida mulled over the concept. "Why do we still have apes if we came from them?" asked state Sen. Stephen Wise. And in Tennessee itself, the scene of Darrow's destruction of Bryan, creationism again may be taught in public classrooms (alongside evolution) thanks to a law passed largely by Republicans in 2012.
Climate Change
During the Scopes trial, Bryan, who wrested the banner of creationism away from men like John Butler, foreshadowed the claims made today by climate-change deniers. And the corporate support he received in this endeavor echoes today. Scientists couldn't prove how any specific species evolved, Bryan reasoned, which proved in turn that God had created each species "separate and distinct." As Ginger wrote:
Thus Byran -- a man who never his entire life dissected animal flesh until it was cooked -- could reach conclusions about physiology contrary to the conclusions of all physiologists. "Anatomy presents convincing evidence that man's body was designed by an Infinite Intelligence and carefully adapted work required of him. ... All his parts show that man is not a haphazard development of chance, but a creation, designed for a purpose."
To the Creationists of the day, Ginger wrote, "[t]ruth revealed in the Bible could not conflict with truth discovered by science. All truth was from God. But what if they seemed to conflict? The answer was easy: The truth that science claimed to discover had not been discovered at all. It was not truth, but wild guesses."
Is that not the gravamen of the argument made today by corporate climate change skeptics? Not that science can never give us the answer about global warming -- even the US Chamber of Commerce won't go that far -- but that the answers it has given us so far are wild guesses dressed up as scientific proof?
As the Scopes trial proved, the fight against evolution in the 1920s took place in the context of classrooms. It was the children that lawmakers like Butler, and Creationists like Bryan, sought to protect from the evils of Darwin. And that's where a big part of the fight over climate change is taking place today, mostly out of the public spotlight but squarely within the realm of academia. In early 2012, Sara Reardon, writing for Science, posed the relevant question best. She wrote:
Is climate change education the new evolution, threatened in U.S. school districts and state eduction.
Who are some of these groups? The folks at Mother Jones last fall offered a helpful list of 12 corporate climate-deniers, including FreedomWorks, the Koch-infused group. Jane Mayer at The New Yorker also touched on this trend toward corporate influence over academic work in her masterful 2011 profile of James Arthur "Art" Pope's control over North Carolina politics (that would be North Carolina, the state that has since gone off the rails in voting rights). What is happening, Reardon reported, is the same thing that happened in the 1920s -- only the situation today is arguably worse. From her piece:.
Last week, a much-anticipated United Nations' report concluded there is "unequivocal" evidence of climate change and that humans are "extremely likely" to be the cause of global warming. "Human influence on the climate is clear," the report says. What did the Heartland Institute think of the UN report? Not surprisingly, not much. From its website: "IPCC reports are notorious for citing environmental activist memos and other unreliable sources to support alarmist climate assertions..." And so onward rages the battle for the soul of science.
Postscript
"Science has explained everything it could explain and will continue to do so," Ginger wrote 55 years ago as he was wrapping up his book. "Every effort to bar science from some areas on the ground that they were not susceptible to empirical investigation has had the effect of inhibiting science in other areas. Man has progressed by exercising a humble confidence in the might of his own mind, not by throwing up his hands and shrugging his shoulders."
Throwing up his hands and shrugging his shoulders..
Reading Ginger's narrative half a century after he wrote it is a reminder that America is rarely at its best when it is motivated by fear or when it has constricted, rather than expanded, its field of knowledge. The book also a reminder, as if we needed one, that some political battles are never won for good; that they have to be re-fought over and over again, from one generation to the next. Nearly a century after Scopes, the battle over evolution evidently still lingers. We all should shudder to think where we all will be if, a century from now, the battle over global warming remains equally unresolved.

I've enabled the internal Pull-Up resistor and set the pin as INPUT in the script, but no matter what, I can't get the pin to do anything. I know that without the pin connected to anything, and the Pull-Up Resistor enabled, I should be seeing 3.3VDC. However, with a DMM, it reads about 150mV to ground (without the button wire connected).
Here's my code:
Code: Select all
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import os GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(21, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) def psReset(channel) os.system("sudo shutdown -r now") GPIO.add_event_detect(21, GPIO.RISING, callback = psReset, bouncetime = 250)
I've run the following script manually from PuTTy using the command:
and the cursor just goes to the next line. I'm assuming that the script is now running. But with no wire connected, it sits at ~150mV, and with the wire in place, pressing the button has no effect.
Code: Select all
sudo python /home/pi/reboot.py
I've double- and triple-checked that I'm on the correct pin (physical board 40; GPIO21).

C# Tutorials
I began by taking a look at various C# tutorials. I read through a couple and found out
that C# is very similar to Java and that the syntax and expressions are very similar, if not the
same, as those in Java. I began to realize that starting so far down was not going to help me
and that I should turn my attention to the Unity game engine and then return to C# when I
found out more about how it is used in Unity and what specifically I would need to know about
it.
Unity Basic Video Tutorials
I figured that the best place to start with Unity would be to watch the video tutorials
suggested by the welcome window with the first start-up after downloading the engine itself.
There were six videos that I went through which teaches the basics of navigating through the
engine and some very simple but useful actions a user can do when working with the engine.
What I Learned
Through these tutorials I learned how to navigate the Unity interface effectively and
how to use the game engine as demonstrated by the Reference Section 1) Unity Basics.
2D Gameplay Tutorial
After learning about the basics of unity, I was interested in starting right into a game.
From the Unity3D website I found a tutorial for a 2D platformer game. Personally, I like
platformer games and I thought that constraining unity to two dimensions would be a natural
place to start and help me ease into learning to create 3D games. I downloaded the PDF and
project components for the tutorial then read and followed through the whole thing.
What I Learned
Through the tutorial I reinforced a lot of what I had learned through the videos by
examples as well as getting into some not so simple scripts. The scripts included were in
JavaScript but I easily found C# translations of them on the internet. This tutorial also taught
me more about how much is involved in creating games and different small sections which
game some understanding of controllers and colliders and those kinds of parts of the game.

Continued
At the end of the tutorial it suggested making changes to the game in order to test yourself.
One such change I had already thought of while following along. I decided to change the GUI
button interface for switching between controlling the character and the spaceship within the
level to switching by simply pressing a button. Then I went on to restrict switching control to
only when the character is close to the ship, and finally, making the character disappear when
controlling the ship and reappear when switching control back to the character, wherever the
ship is. I have included the executable of these changes in an attachment entitled MyFirstLevel.
The Controls are in a text document also attached entitled MyFirstLevelControls. I have also
attached a copy of the CameraFocus.cs script where I added all of the code for switching
characters.
Unity C# Tutorials
After completing the 2D Gameplay Tutorial, I still felt that I did not have a full
understanding of basic scripting elements in C# for Unity, so I sought out another tutorial to
help me with this. This was my favourite set of tutorials because it managed to stay simple
enough to learn everything line by line from scratch, as well as delve into some more
complicated scripts all the while teaching you about the different specific basic elements in a C#
script used in unity.
What I Learned
I learned a lot about different elements in C# that are used in Unity scripts. These
tutorials were exactly what I wanted to learn about in order to get a basic understanding of C#
scripts in Unity. After completing the tutorials, I thought of the idea of making a reference
sheet for all that I had learned so that I could have easy access to look up of functions and other
elements without having to search them out separately online. This was the inspiration for
Reference Sheet 2) C# in Unity.
Continued
I also have attached an executable for the Cube Run Game in the last tutorial that I did
which is pretty much the same as what was directed by the tutorial except for the colours. One
thing I did add to it though was a button to fall faster down to a platform which made the game
easier to land on the platforms and more fun in my opinion.

Mario Personal Project
After completing the other tutorials I wanted to test out how much I had learned. So I
came up with the idea of trying to recreate the first level from the original Mario game for the
NES. Not worrying about graphics, I altered the skin for the character in the 2D platformer
tutorial and left the shape alone, as well as collected sprites from the Mario game in order to
use for blocks and other things. Borrowing objects and the character with its controls from the
2D platformer tutorial, I created a new scene and built it to mimic the level in mind then started
to mimic the different components from the game. Currently, I only have the first mushroom
block with the mushroom and Mario’s growth upon picking up the power-up, but I am
continuing to work on it still. I have attached a build of the level so far entitled MarioLevel.
Conclusion
In conclusion I think that I have learned a lot about the Unity 3D game engine and its
scripts using C# over the past semester. After school work, studying, and working on the
weekends, most of my time has gone in to working with Unity. I feel confident about what I
have learned and hope that it is what was expected from me. If it is not then I am truly sorry,
and will most certainly learn from my mistakes if given the chance to continue in the
outstanding scholars program. I requested to work with Dr. Goodwin because I have a passion
for creating videogames and am hoping to make this field of work my career. I will continue to
work with and learn more about Unity as it is a great game engine to work with which I have
found out through this semester. If nothing else I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to
have been directed towards this for learning. If I appeared unambitious or ungrateful I
apologize but this is not what I was trying to do. I will make sure that nothing like this happens
again. Thank you for taking the time to read my report.

Unity Basics
Unity Layout
The unity layout for the different windows can be configured by the drop down menu in the top
right corner which has the current layout name in it.
The layouts are:
• 2 by 3
• 4 Split
• Tall
• Wide
You can make your own custom layouts as well if you wish and save them in the same drop
down menu.
Scene Window
The scene window shows you how your scene is physically set up with any of the objects and
gizmos placed inside of it. Navigation inside of the scene window can be achieved in various
ways.
• Arrow Keys- move through the scene in the direction pressed
• Right Mouse Button - rotates the view in the window
• Right Mouse Button while holding Alt- zooms the view in the window
• Middle Mouse Button- pans the view in the window
• Mouse Wheel- zooms the view in the window
You can also click the Hand symbol in the toolbar at the top left of the program to add some
more controls for navigating the scene.
• Left Mouse Button- pans the view in the window
• Left Mouse Button while holding Alt- rotates the view in the window
Learning Unity Using C#

You can snap the view to one of the axis by clicking one in the image in the top right corner of
the scene window. Also, you can press the cube in the center of the axes for an indirect view of
all of the axes.
You can manipulate the game objects in your scene in this window as well. When a game
object is highlighted you can move it freely by left clicking and dragging in the direction you
want to move it, or to be more precise, you can choose one of the color coordinated axes
arrows to move it along that axes only. Using the three options in the top left on the toolbar
you can Move an object this way, Rotate an object this way, or Scale an object this way.
Game Window
The game window shows you what is currently being seen by the main camera in your game.
The main camera is an object which can be seen and moved within the scene window, it is not
the view in the scene window itself.
The game window is in a tab with the scene window in most layouts so you only see one or the
other depending on which tab you click. The tabs are located at the top of the scene window or
game window.
You can test your game by clicking the Play button in the top middle of the toolbar. This will
automatically switch the game window to the front. While testing your game in this way, you
can also use the Pause button to pause and un-pause the game, as well as the Step button to
make the game step forward one frame at a time. All three of these buttons are located next to
one another.
NOTE: if you switch back to the scene window and make any changes while the game is playing,
or make any changes in any of the other windows, they will revert back to how it was before
playing the game when the game stops.
Hierarchy Window
The hierarchy window is used to keep track of all of the objects currently in the scene. It
appears as a list of objects and if one is selected, it is also selected within the scene. If you
double click an object, the scene view changes so it is focused on that object.
You can rename objects in the hierarchy to keep track of them as well as parent objects with
other objects. Parenting an object with another object means that if you move the parent
object within the scene, the children of that object move with respect to the parent as well.
Learning Unity Using C#
8
This is very useful to keep several objects that make up one larger object always together.
Parenting an object with another object is achieved by simply clicking the child object in the
hierarchy window and dragging it onto the parent object, still in the hierarchy window.
When an object is a parent with children, it has an arrow head beside it that is either open
(pointing down) or closed (pointing to the right). When open, it shows all of the parent’s
children below it in the list but indented. When closed, the children do not appear in the
hierarchy window’s list of objects.
NOTE: when you have a parent object and any number of child objects, you cannot move the
parent object without its children.
A useful trick that I learned in order to keep objects organized is to create an empty object to
use as a parent for child objects if there is no “base” object that always moves with all of its
children.
Project Window
The project window shows all of the assets that are in the folder associated with the specific
project you are working on. Assets can include textures, materials, physic materials, scripts,
prefab objects, and more, just to name some common ones I have worked with so far, as well
as folders to organize them. Brief descriptions of these assets are:
• Texture- a flat image that is included in materials in order to render an object visually in
a scene in more than just a colour.
• Material- has a texture or sometimes multiple textures associated with it which it wraps
around an object’s mesh in order to render it visually in a scene in more than just a
colour.
NOTE: if you change the texture in a material for one object, it changes for all objects
with the same material. If you wish to change a texture for one instance of an object
but not all, change the material for the object.
• Physic Material- used in Rigidbodies, the physical aspects of objects with properties
affected by the physics system built in to unity. An example of a property of physic
materials is friction.
• Scripts- programs that are attached to objects and execute within the game. In unity,
they are written in JavaScript, C#, or Boo.
• Prefab- an object with certain properties that are saved in order to be used more than
once. Any object can be made a prefab by simply clicking and dragging it from the
hierarchy window into the project window. If a parent is made a prefab, all of its
Learning Unity Using C#
9
children are included in the prefab as well. A prefab can be added into the scene by
clicking and dragging from the project window to either the hierarchy window or the
scene window.
Inspector Window
The inspector window is used to manipulate all properties of any selected object. The inspector
can be used to manipulate prefabs or specific game objects within a scene. If an object in a
scene is changed which has a prefab, the prefab can be updated by clicking the Apply button
near the top right of the inspector.
A component can be added to an object either via the dropdown menu at the top of the
program or by clicking and dragging from the project window to the inspector window with the
target object already selected.
The inspector can be used to manipulate the properties of pretty much everything about the
object. The most common properties which are always included and always located at the top
of the inspector are the objects transform properties.
The transform properties are the physical location of the object within the scene. They include
the position of the object, the rotation of the object, and the scale of the object, all with x, y,
and z axis numerical components. All three of those properties can be manipulated in the
inspector in order to precisely manipulate the object within the scene.
Toolbar
The toolbar at the top has already been discussed but to recap, the important buttons for now,
from left to right, are:
• Hand- to add more maneuverability to the scene view
• Move- to move an object’s position within the scene
• Rotate- to rotate an object within the scene
• Scale- to scale an object within the scene
• Play- to run the game for testing
• Pause- to pause and un-pause the game when it is running
• Step Forward- to move one frame forward within the game while it is paused
• Layout Drop Down Menu- to select the layout
Learning Unity Using C#
10
Creating Game Objects
Objects can be created from either the drop down Game Object menu at the top of the
program or, to a lesser extent, from the drop down create menu in the hierarchy window.
You can create a variety of different types of objects, the basics with very brief descriptions
being:
• Empty Objects- with no properties other than its transform properties.
• Particle Systems- special effects that are generated within systems
• Cameras- to view the game through
• GUI Text- to show text in the game
• Lights- to light the game in a variety of ways including from a source, or in one direction
• Shapes- generic game objects such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, etc.
Creating Components
Components are created in a similar way to game Objects. Either through the drop down
Components menu or, to a lesser extent, through the drop down create menu in the project
window.
There are also a variety of different components, again some basic ones with very brief
descriptions are:
• Meshes- for wrapping textures to your objects
• Effects- such as particle systems and trails
• Physics- components involved in unity’s physics engine such as:
o Rigidbodies- the physical properties of an object
o Colliders- the area where objects collide with other physical objects
o Controllers- physical controllers for character in the game
• Audio- listeners and sources for producing audio in a game
• Skybox- the background of the game as seen by the game camera
• Scripts- different programs to add to objects within the game to perform specific tasks

This article is Part 2 and make just enough changes to get it to compile and run. Part 2 of the series (this article) begins the process of migrating the Dashboard code to Flex 4.5.
Before you complete Part 2, you must complete the steps in Part 1. Alternatively, you can download the Dashboard-Part2-Start.zip sample file, unzip it, import it into Flash Builder, and continue from there. The other sample file for this article, Dashboard-Part2-End.zip, contains a project in which all the steps in Part 2 have already been completed. You may use this project as a reference if you wish.
Note: The Flex 3 Dashboard application hosted on the Adobe examples site does not display exactly the same (see Figure 1) as it will if you download the source code and compile it using Flex 3 (and the Flex 3.4 SDK). In this article series, you will migrate the Dashboard application to Flex 4.5 so it displays as it does when you compile it using Flex 3, not as it displays as hosted on the Adobe examples site.
The Dashboard application saves information on the location and the state of each pod to a Flex SharedObject, which is a similar concept to using cookies on a web page. As you go through the process of converting the Dashboard application to Flex 4.5, you may change the position of pods within the Dashboard, minimize or maximize pods, and so on. Runtime errors can also cause an unstable state to be saved in the SharedObject. In either case, you may need to reset the Dashboard to its initial state before continuing. You can do this by deleting the SharedObject file on your machine. The location of this file depends on the operating system you are using:
The Dashboard is a nontrivial application with code in 19 files (not including data and image files). The scope of the application presents a challenge in guiding you through the many changes required to migrate the Dashboard to Flex 4.5.
The general approach for the code conversion is to start with the top application object and proceed down through the various levels of the container hierarchy. However, changes in one file often make it necessary to make changes in other files to avoid errors and still be able to launch the application.
One goal of the approach followed in this series is to maintain the application, as much as possible, in a state in which it can be launched with no errors (warnings are acceptable).
Some sections include numerous steps for converting code, and missing or improperly applying one step can make it difficult to proceed. Take your time, read each step carefully, and keep these tips in mind:
idof an MXML tag, or more generalized text such as, "near the top of the file".
You'll start with some basic changes to the main application file, main.mxml.
In main.mxml begin by changing the namespace prefix in the opening and closing Application tags from
mx to
s , to use the new Spark application class.
<mx:Applicationto
<s:Applicationand change
</mx:Application>to
</s:Application>.
Next, replace the one Flex 3 namespace definition with the three Flex 4.5 namespace definitions in the opening
Application tag.
xmlns:mx="/2006/mxml"with the following lines:
<mx:Script>tag to use the Flex 4.5
fxnamespace instead of the
mxnamespace.
</mx:Script>to
</fx:Script>.
The Flex 3 Dashboard
<mx:Application> tag defaults to vertical layout, but the Flex 4.5 Spark
<s:Application> tag defaults to BasicLayout (the Flex 4.5 equivalent of absolute layout). You'll need to specify a vertical layout for the
Application container.
<mx:TabBar>component:
The Dashboard application should compile with no errors and launch. Compared with the Flex 3 version, the application has some display issues, such as the background image not displaying (see Figure 2), but these will be eliminated as you continue to migrate the application to Flex 4.5.
You can see other differences when you compare the application with the Flex 3 version (see Figure 3).
Now that you've updated the main
Application container and the namespaces, the next step is to implement a custom skin for the
Application container.
The custom skin you implement will restore the
Application container background image.
Next, you'll create the skin.
Flash Builder will create a new file named CustomApplicationSkin.mxml in the src/skins folder.
<s:Application>tag at the top of file main.mxml:
skinClass="skins.CustomApplicationSkin"
Next you'll modify the skin class to implement styles previously defined in styles.css, and also the
backgroundSize style property you removed in Part 1. You may want to refer to the
Application type selector in assets/styles.css, as its styles will be implemented in the skin. CSS styles are not used in Flex 4.5 as they are in Flex 3 because the Spark architecture strives to provide a cleaner separation of a component's visual elements from its logic.
Recttag with the
id
backgroundRect. Replace the entire
Recttag and its contents with the following
BitmapImagetag:
<s:BitmapImage
Notice that this skin sets the
top ,
bottom ,
left , and
right constraint properties to
0 , which causes the image to fill the entire application background and fulfills the role of the
backgroundSize style property removed from the
<mx:Application> tag.
The
background-color and
background-gradient-colors styles in styles.css (and the
Application tag) are unnecessary because the default Flex 4.5 Spark application background is white. The
color style in styles.css is likewise unnecessary, because the default text color for the application is black.
Launch the application and you will see the background image applied to the application as it was for the Flex 3 Dashboard application (see Figure 6).
Next you'll make changes to use the new Flex 4.5 Spark TabBar.
Make the following changes in main.mxml:
snamespace prefix instead of the
mxprefix.
dataProvidervalue in binding curly braces:
{viewStack}.
changeevent instead of to the
itemClickevent.
After completing these steps, the TabBar tag should look similar to this:
<s:TabBar
Now you need to make additional changes that are necessary because the Spark TabBar control dispatches a different event when the selected tab is changed.
import mx.events.ItemClickEvent;
import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent;
onItemClickTabBar()function in main.mxml and in the function signature, replace
ItemClickEventwith
IndexChangeEvent:
private function onItemClickTabBar(e:IndexChangeEvent):void
e.indexto
e.newIndexbecause the
IndexChangeEventprovides access to the clicked tab through a different property.
onItemClickTabBar()function definition (near the bottom of the
onResultHttpService()function definition).
onItemClickTabBar(new ItemClickEvent(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, false, false, null, index));
onItemClickTabBar(new IndexChangeEvent(IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE, false, false, -1, index));
This change is necessary because the code creates an event instance to simulate clicking a tab when the application is first launched.
It should compile with no errors. Launch the application and click on its tabs to ensure they still work.
This section and the next implement two custom skins so the tabs in the TabBar component display as they do in the Flex 3 Dashboard application. The skin in this section is for the TabBar component, and the skin in the next section is for the ButtonBarButton components making up the tabs.
To create the TabBar custom skin, follow these steps:
Flash Builder will create a new file named CustomTabBarSkin.mxml in the src/skins folder.
<s:TabBar>tag at the bottom of the main.mxml file:
skinClass="skins.CustomTabBarSkin"
focusThickness="0"to the
<s:ButtonBarButton>tag, so the tabs do not display a focus border when leaving and returning to the Dashboard window:
<s:ButtonBarButton
In this section you'll create a custom skin for the ButtonBarButton components that make up the tabs. There are more steps to creating this skin, so follow along carefully.
Flash Builder will create CustomButtonBarButtonSkin.mxml in the src/skins folder.
<s:ButtonBarButton>tag at the bottom of the file replace
spark.skins.spark.TabBarButtonSkinwith
skins.CustomButtonBarButtonSkin.
The tag will now be:
<s:ButtonBarButton
Next you'll apply some of the more general styles that were defined in styles.css, specifically the
tabBarButton and
tabBarButtonSelected class selectors.
labelDisplayLabel change the
textAlignproperty value from
centerto
left.
labelDisplayproperties
left , right, and
topstyle properties. Keep the
leftproperty value at
10, but change
rightto
20, and change
topto
-4.
labelDisplayLabel tag:
color="#333333" fontSize="12" fontFamily="arial"
fontWeight="bold"to the same tag. The Flex 3 Label control text is bold by default, but in Flex 4.5 the default
fontWeightis
"normal".
The next three general style properties require an explanation. In the
tabBarButton style in styles.css, the
text-roll-over-color property represents the tab text color when the pointer hovers over an unselected tab. In the
tabBarButtonSelected style, the
text-roll-over-color property represents the tab text color when the pointer hovers over a tab that is selected, and the
color property represents the text color when the pointer is not hovering over a selected tab. Although the
text-roll-over-color style property is used twice here, it is used in two different styles, so there is no conflict.
labelDisplayLabel (this is an example of the new MXML states syntax at work):
color.upAndSelected="#003399" color.overAndSelected="#003399" color.over="#858585"
The
labelDisplay Label tag should now look similar to the following:
<s:Label </s:Label>
Lastly you need to apply the six graphic image styles for the actual tab display. Actually, only two individual images are used, one for the
up ,
over , and
down states of unselected tabs, and another for the
up ,
over , and
down states of the currently selected tab.
<fx:Script>tag except the following lines, which should remain:
static private const exclusions:Array = ["labelDisplay"]; override public function get colorizeExclusions():Array {return exclusions;} override protected function initializationComplete():void { useChromeColor = true; super.initializationComplete(); }
</s:states>closing tag to the end of layer 7. Layer 8, which contains the
labelDisplayLabel, will remain.
labelDisplayelement. This adds two
<s:BitmapImage>components, one for each of the tab images.
<s:BitmapImage <s:BitmapImage
Notice the use of the
includeIn property, which allows you to specify the states for which each image should display. Also notice that the
width is set using binding to a variable named
labelDisplayWidth ; this is necessary so the TabBar tabs adjust their size as appropriate for the text of each tab.
labelDisplayWidthvariable and a method to set its value at the beginning of the
<fx:Script>tag:
[Bindable] private var labelDisplayWidth:Number = 0; private function setTabWidth():void{ labelDisplayWidth = Label(labelDisplay).width + Label(labelDisplay).left + Label(labelDisplay).right + 3; }
Note: The
labelDisplay skin part has a type of IDisplayText, so you need to cast it as Label in the skin ActionScript code.
<s:Labeltag:
creationComplete="setTabWidth();"
When you launch the application, you'll see that the tab text is not positioned exactly as it was for the Flex 3 Dashboard application. In the Flex 4.5 Dashboard, the text is slightly lower than in the Flex 3 Dashboard (see Figure 7).
<s:states>tag as follows:
<s:states> <s:State <s:State <s:State <s:State <s:State <s:State <s:State <s:State </s:states>
horizontalCenterand
verticalCenterproperties of the
labelDisplaytag, change the
leftproperty to
12, and replace the
topproperty with
top.selectedStates="0" top.nonSelected="-2"so the
labelDisplayLabel tag is similar to the following:
<s:Label </s:Label>
These changes specify a different position for the tab label when the tab is selected.
You are done with skinning the TabBar. The tabs should display as they do in the Flex 3 Dashboard, even when you hover over the tabs.
You've now completed Part 2 of this four-part series, which included the first code changes to migrate the Flex 4.5 Spark controls and architecture. In Part 3, you'll make the changes needed to have the application's ViewStack use the new Flex 4.5 Spark NavigatorContent container.. | http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/migrating-flex-apps-part2.html | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | refinedweb | 2,011 | 56.15 |
We are about to switch to a new forum software. Until then we have removed the registration on this forum.
Hi,
I am just starting to explore posibilities to make something work in processing via arduino (sensors). On school exhibition I want to make a picture display that shows one image at the time on the wall (with a projector), depending how close or far person is located from distance sensor.
This is a sketch of what I am thinking about:
To see if it really works, I explored some tutorials that explains how to connect Arduino input with Processing. Currently, I have these codes in both programs:
for Arduino:
const int anPin1 = 0; long distance1; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // sets the serial port to 9600 } void read_sensors(){ /* Scale factor is (Vcc/512) per inch. A 5V supply yields ~9.8mV/in Arduino analog pin goes from 0 to 1024, so the value has to be divided by 2 to get the actual inches */ distance1 = analogRead(anPin1)/2; } void print_all(){ /* Serial.print("S1"); Serial.print("inches"); */ Serial.print(" "); Serial.print(distance1); Serial.println(); } void loop() { read_sensors(); print_all(); delay(50); }
And for Processing:
import processing.serial.*; Serial myPort; String data="" ; PFont myFont; int distance; void setup(){ size(1366,900); // size of processing window //background(0);// setting background color to black myPort = new Serial(this, "/dev/cu.usbmodemfd111",'); }
And this distance reading works perfect!
Unfortunately didn’t found any specific example for what i am looking for. So the question is, how can I get, for example, 3 pictures working this way:
if(distance>60){ image(photo1, 0, 0); //display first photograpgy } else if (40<distance<60) { image(photo2, 0, 0); } else if (distance<40) { image(photo3, 0, 0); }
Do I have to write something like that in draw ()? And how can I get income distance value as number from which depends displayed image? And should I upload any specific library for this? Do i have to write something also again in Arduino code?
Would be great if someone could suggest any examples or codes for this.
Hoping for advise, komats!!
Answers
Looks very good
Place this in draw of processing code
No libraries needed
Load images in setup ()
Check with println the values distance is having, they must match your ifs
So now I have in processing this code:
It plays only photo3. How can i refer distance to income values? I guess that the income is written in last lines data=myPort.readStringUntil('\n'); ?!
Yes try
distance=int(data);
Try println distance
Your
ifs are a mess
Basically they must have the right ranges in the right order
they must also match the range data /distance are in - use
printlnto find that out
new version
use ctrl-t in processing to get better indents automatically
[EDITED]
In consol the range of the sensor is from 5 up to 60 (where is the ceiling). After updating the code the picture still is the same one. And even if the data shows more than 20, it plays photo1.
You forgot to set distance from data
In line 28 you want 40
say background (0); at start of draw() to clear canvas
And use println(distance);
!!!!
When I use println(distance); it shows zeros. I wrote distance=int(data) in draw, but now changed it in setup.
Belongs after line 35!!!
Nothing changes. Still zeros and one picture. But previous println(distance) showed the numbers at least.. Could there be wrong datatypes for something?
What does println data give you
What gives println distance? numbers or zeros?
try
distance=int(trim(data));
There is a new forum
Please ask there
Omg! Don't have a clue how, but distance=int(trim(data)); completely fixed everything! huge thanks! I think I would not get answers in the new forum.
Great!
;-)
Lessons learned:
printlnis your friend. When you don’t know the value of a variable you can’t evaluate it with
if
read your code slowly and carefully: when you forget to assign a value to a variable, it won’t work. When your
if-clause is wrong it won’t work.
Use ctrl-t for automatic indents in processing
It’s good that you always showed the entire code when posting so we were always on the same page.

Go to the source code of this file.
RTE Port for IPv4 Reassembly
This port is built on top of pre-initialized single producer rte_ring. In order to minimize the amount of packets stored in the ring at any given time, the IP reassembly functionality is executed on ring write operation, hence this port is implemented as an output port. A regular ring_reader port can be created to read from the same ring.
The packets written to the ring are either complete IP datagrams or IP fragments. The packets read from the ring are all complete IP datagrams, either jumbo frames (i.e. IP packets with length bigger than MTU) or not. The complete IP datagrams written to the ring are not changed. The IP fragments written to the ring are first reassembled and into complete IP datagrams or dropped on error or IP reassembly time-out.

Dependency Injection Performance in Java EE 6: Dependent (easy) vs ApplicationScoped ("optimized")
Is the simplest possible Java EE 6 Dependency Injection fast enough?In Java EE 6 you can inject POJOs with @Inject. In this case the lifecycle of the POJO will be dependent on the lifecycle of the injection point. See also Simplest Possible POJO Injection Example With Java EE 6. Injection of POJOs, however, could affect performance: in worst case each request would create a new instance. To test the difference an ApplicationScoped (in fact a singleton) bean will be injected into a Stateless Session Bean as well as a Dependent Scope (an arbitrary POJO) to measure the difference. The code for the application scope bean:
...and dependent scoped:...and dependent scoped:
public class Bean { public long get() { return System.currentTimeMillis(); } } @Path("application") @Stateless public class ApplicationScopeTester { @Inject ApplicationScopedBean bean; @GET @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN) public String get(){ return String.valueOf(bean.get()); } } @ApplicationScoped public class ApplicationScopedBean extends Bean{}
@Path("dependent") @Stateless public class DependentScopeTester { @Inject DependentScopedBean bean; @GET @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN) public String get(){ return String.valueOf(bean.get()); } } public class DependentScopedBean extends Bean {}
The test was performed with JMeter with the following settings:
500000 Samples, 5 Threads, no think time, with attached VisualVM. The results are interesting. The performance of the ApplicationScoped bean is only 3.5% better. In most measurements the performance was identical and around 3300 - 3500 transactions / second. Each request was handled by a Stateless Session Bean without any configuration, so each method invocation initiated a new transaction.
The reason for this result is the Stateless Session Bean and its pooling behavior. In Java EE 6 a Stateless Session Bean as a boundary / facade is not only the simplest, but also a reasonable choice. There was no difference in GC behavior, or CPU usage: CPU Usage 50%, GC Activity 7%, RAM usage 70 MB
The tests were performed with JDK 1.6 Glassfishv3.1 RC2 without any modifications. The entire projects with JMeter load script was pushed into:, project DependentVsApplicationScopePerformance.

Hi Adam. When you inject a @Dependent bean, it must be created. When you deploy a normal-scoped bean, like @ApplicationScoped, a proxy for it has to be created or looked up in a cache or whatever, and on GF as far as I know, the actual instance is created lazily. As such, I am surprised that the @Dependent scope was slower.
What did you test actually?

Hi Adam,
How different is dependency injection between J2EE 6 and Spring ? Can you please shed some light ?
Thanks

Posted by Javin Paul on February 14, 2011 at 05:49 PM CET #
Adam, i have a JSF-managed-bean web app AND a CDI-managed-bean web app variant that I'd love to compare the performance of the two on Glassfish 3.1.2.2.
Currently, the JSF-managed-bean web app is running super super fast on a Windows Server 2003 32bit 4GB RAM 'production' server, and there are 'still' some outstanding optimizing that I can do to the xhtml pages (such as eliminate any/all rendered="#{bean.attribute}" and maybe/possibly write some bean-managed-transactions to retrieve data from multiple tables in the database, so I can render all that data on my xhtml pages.
Currently, I am using JPA queries (dynamic SQL SELECT statements and @Entity named queries) by way of SessionFacade @Stateless EJBs (originally, that code was 'generated' by NetBeans 7.0 generate-JSF-pages-from-database-or-entity-classes).
Of course, that JSF web app has PrimeFaces and MyFaces 2.1.9 helping to speed up the performance 'and' usability and 'stability'. I scan my server/error log every now and then for 'exceptions' like null pointer exceptions, and try to 'fix' every exception that shows up in Glassfish server log. Just last night, I scanned that server log and saw 'no' errors except some GSON exception related to Google Calendar API, that I call to push/publish 'schedule' data to Google Calendar.
I spent the last 2 weeks 'trying' to migrate the JSF-managed-bean web app to CDI-managed-bean web app. Now, the CDI-managed-bean web app runs on TomEE1.5+ SNAPSHOT, but will 'not' run on Glassfish 3.1.2.2/WELD. EBKC? Yes, i don't mind taking the blame for my inability to interpret all the jboss/weld CDI documentation out there and my loyalty to and trust in NetBeans/Glassfish for being able to solve any/all java-related-tasks.
Last but not least, I am glad to say that the Glassfish3.1.2.2/JSF-managed-bean web app runs really really fast (pages are rendered in 2-to-3 seconds or less) while TomEE1.5+/CDI-managed-bean web app runs really really slow (on same server, some pages rendering between 5 and 15+ seconds), also while the Glassfish3.1.2.2/CDI-managed-bean web app does 'not' run at all!
conclusion: Glassfish3.1.2.2/JSF-managed-bean web app wins my vote, but I'd like you to prove me wrong! I would love to get my CDI-managed-bean web app running on Glassfish 3.1.2.2 'faster' than JSF-managed-beans. :)

Arithmetic Operation Problem

hello Every one,
Today my problem is much complex for me, I am so confused why is this happening;
The problem is
if i have a = 2;
********** In C Language **********
and i perform
i = a++ + ++a + --a + a-- + ++a;
then result is = 15
i = a++ + ++a + --a + a--;
then result is = 8
************ In Java Language ************
i = a++ + ++a + --a + a-- + ++a;
then result is = 15
i = a++ + ++a + --a + a--;
then result is = 12
I don't know why is this happening, what is the reasion, I am performing the same operation but the result is different.
Please give me the detail description about this.
Thank You.

thats interseting,
make sure you that the initial value of a is the same in java and in c
try to divide it with brackets
i = (a++) + (++a) + (--a) + (a--);
and see if that makes a difference
ashishchaudhary
09-25-2011, 08:11 AM
Thanks for your reply chris0.
But the problem is same as it is yet.
for the java the program is
public class test {
public static void main(String ar[]) {
int a=2,j=0,k=0;
j = a++ + ++a + --a + a-- + ++a;
k = a++ + ++a + --a + a--;
System.out.println("The value of j = " + j + " and the value of k = " + k);
}
}
then the result is
The value of j = 15 and the value of k = 12
Also if i seperate all of them with parenthesis like you told (a++) then the
result is same.
for c the program is
int main(void)
{
int a=2,j=0,k=0;
clrscr();
j = a++ + ++a + --a + a-- + ++a;
k = a++ + ++a + --a + a--;
printf("The value of j = %d and the value of k = %d", j,k);
getch();
return 0;
}
then the result is
The value of j = 15 and the value of k =8
I used parenthesis Alos, but nothing happened.
Please give me the detail description about this problem.
thank you.

Depending.
You can enable the debugger by wrapping the application in a DebuggedApplication middleware. Additionally there are parameters to the run_simple() function to enable it because this is a common task during development.
Enables debugging support for a given application:
from werkzeug.debug import DebuggedApplication from myapp import app app = DebuggedApplication(app, evalex=True)
The evalex keyword argument allows evaluating expressions in a traceback’s frame context.
New in version 0.9: The lodgeit_url parameter was deprecated..
Once clicked a console opens where you can execute Python code in:
Inside the interactive consoles you can execute any kind of Python code. Unlike regular Python consoles the output of the object reprs is colored and stripped to a reasonable size by default. If the output is longer than what the console decides to display a small plus sign is added to the repr and a click will expand the repr.
To display all variables that are defined in the current frame you can use the dump() function. You can call it without arguments to get a detailed list of all variables and their values, or with an object as argument to get a detailed list of all the attributes it has.
If you click on the Traceback title the traceback switches over to a text based one. The text based one can be pasted to paste.pocoo.org with one click. | http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/debug/ | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | refinedweb | 230 | 63.8 |
As the title says - how do I disable all of the ASP.NET unhandled errors appearing in the event log? Cant see anything obvious in IIS / the web.config...
The easiest way I can think of right now is through a code-based solution, not web.config. In the global.asax file for your application, you can add an Application_Error event handler. In this, you can do whatever you want to do to log the error (or not...) and then redirect to an appropriate error page. Call Context.ClearError() before redirecting, and none of the standard ASP.Net unhandled excpetion stuff will kick in. This is not a pretty way to handle this though, so hopefully somebody else has a better answer.
Context.ClearError()
A simple global.asax that does only this functionality would look like:
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import namespace="System.Diagnostics" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void Application_Error(object src, EventArgs e)
{
Exception ex = Server.GetLastError();
// do whatever you want to the error itself (ex.Message, etc.)
// ####
// clear out the ASP.Net error
Context.ClearError();
// redirect to an error page
Response.Redirect("errorpage.aspx");
}
</script>
With all that being said, there has to be a way to do this using the web.config healthMonitoring section, I just can't figure out how to say "turn off logging for all | http://serverfault.com/questions/113855/asp-net-unhandled-errors-in-application-log-how-to-disable | crawl-003 | refinedweb | 220 | 61.43 |

Hello Everyone I am new to this forum and hope I can get some help and vice-versa. I am doing this little project for my self in C Sharp and it involves WMP. I have provided my code at the bottom and appreciate any help I can get. I am trying to play a media file and it keeps coming up with the error: "The file you are attempting to play has an extension (.) that does not match the file format." Is there a line that I am missing or forgetting to add/initialize something? THanks. [CODE] namespace Form1 { …
My music (28 GB) is on thumb drive J and is 90% .wma files This is to SAVE SPACE on my PC (and the safety of "no moving parts" storage) Windows MediaPlayer used to index the music when it was on C: HOW do I get it to index J:? Many thanks esdel

How to Build Dynamic Breadcrumbs From a URL Path
April 8th, 2022
What You Will Learn in This Tutorial
How to take the value of url.path in a Joystick component and convert it into a dynamic breadcrumb UI.
Table of Contents nested routes
In order to demonstrate a breadcrumb UI, we're going to need a set of nested routes we can work with. To keep things simple, let's start by opening up the
index.server.js file at the root of the project we just created and add a few routes:
Terminal
import node from "@joystick.js/node"; import api from "./api"; node.app({ api, routes: { "/": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/index/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", }); }, "/nested": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/index/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", }); }, "/nested/path": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/index/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", }); }, "/nested/path/to": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/index/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", }); }, "/nested/path/to/:thing": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/index/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", }); }, "*": (req, res) => { res.render("ui/pages/error/index.js", { layout: "ui/layouts/app/index.js", props: { statusCode: 404, }, }); }, }, });
In the app we just created, the
index.server.js file is the main "starting point" for our application's server. Inside, we call to the
node.app() function from the
@joystick.js/node package to start up our server, passing it the API we want it to load and the routes we want available in our app.
What we want to focus on here are the
routes, and specifically, all of the routes we've added starting with
/nested. Here, we're creating a pseudo-nested URL pattern that we can use to test out our breadcrumb generation code.
For each
/nested route, we do the exact same thing: render the
index page component (we've just copied and pasted the contents of the
/nested route). The difference between each is the path itself. Notice that for each route we've added we go an additional level deeper:
/route's callback function for each
/nested
/nested/path
/nested/path/to
/nested/path/to/:thing
The end goal being that with this structure, now we have a nested set of routes that we can easily represent as breadcrumbs.
Next, we want to modify the
/ui/pages/index/index.js file we're rendering here to build out our breadcrumbs UI.
Adding a Dynamic Breadcrumb Generator
When we created our app with
joystick create app earlier, we were also given an example page component at
/ui/pages/index/index.js. Now, let's open that up and replace the existing contents with a skeleton component that we can use to build our breadcrumb UI.
/ui/pages/index/index.js
import ui from '@joystick.js/ui'; const Index = ui.component({ render: () => { return ` <div> </div> `; }, }); export default Index;
With that in place, the first thing we want to do is wire up the actual creation of our breadcrumbs and then focus on rendering them to the page. To do this, we're going to rely on the
methods property of a Joystick component.
/ui/pages/index/index.js
import ui from '@joystick.js/ui'; const Index = ui.component({ methods: { getBreadcrumbs: (component) => { // We'll build our breadcrumbs array here... }, }, render: () => { return ` <div> </div> `; }, }); export default Index;
In a Joystick component, the methods property contains an object of miscellaneous methods (another name for functions defined on an object in JavaScript) related to our component. What we want to do now is define a function
getBreadcrumbs() which will perform the heavy lifting to convert our URL path into an array of objects which describe each breadcrumb we want to render.
/ui/pages/index/index.js
import ui from '@joystick.js/ui'; const Index = ui.component({ methods: { getBreadcrumbs: (component) => { const pathParts = component?.url?.path?.split('/').filter((part) => part?.trim() !== ''); return pathParts?.map((part, partIndex) => { const previousParts = pathParts.slice(0, partIndex); return { label: part, href: previousParts?.length > 0 ? `/${previousParts?.join('/')}/${part}` : `/${part}`, }; }) || []; }, }, render: () => { return ` <div> </div> `; }, }); export default Index;
We've dumped the whole code here for the sake of clarity, so let's step through it. First, our goal is to be able to call this function
getBreadcrumbs and have it return an array of objects to us where each object describes one of our breadcrumbs.
To get there, we need to get the current path our user is looking at. We have two options for this in our app, both equally easy. First, natively in a web browser, we can always get the current path via the
window.location.pathname global value (
location.pathname for short). Because we're working within a Joystick app, here, we're going to use the
url.path value (which is identical to
location.pathname) available on our component instance.
You'll notice that when defining a method on a Joystick component, if no arguments are passed to that function when we call it, Joystick will automatically assign the last possible argument to the component instance. For example, if we called
methods.getBreadcrumbs('something'), the function signature above would change to
getBreadcrumbs: (someValue, component) => { ... }.
Inside of our function, from the
component instance, we obtain the current path with
component.url.path as a string. In order to get to an array, first, we need to split our path into parts. To do that, we need to use the
.split() function available on all strings in JavaScript. To
.split(), we can pass a character that we want to split at. Because we're dealing with a path like
/nested/path/to/123 we want to split at the
/forward slash character. The end result being an array like this:
['', 'nested', 'path', 'to', '123']
This gets us most of the way, but notice that there's an empty string here. That's because when we did a
.split('/'), the first slash was counted but because there's nothing preceding it, we just get an empty value.
To handle this, notice that the full line here is:
const pathParts = component?.url?.path?.split('/').filter((part) => part?.trim() !== '');
What this says is "take the
url.path value as a string, split it into an array using the
/forward slash as a separator, then, filter out any part in the resulting array if trimming all of its whitespace results in an empty string."
The end result? We get a clean array to work with like
['nested', 'path', 'to', '123'] in our
pathParts variable.
With this array, we have what we need to build out our breadcrumbs. Next, we need to map over this array. For each iteration, we want to do the work necessary to build our breadcrumb object. Each breadcrumb will have two properties:
label which is the rendered name users will see in the breadcrumb chain and
href which is the URL the breadcrumb will be linked to.
For the
label, our work is easy: we'll just reuse the name of the path
part we're currently looping over.
href is a bit trickier. Here, we need to make sure that each successive breadcrumb is aware of what came before it so when we click it, we're referencing the proper URL.
To do it, just inside of our map we've added a new variable
previousParts which takes our
pathParts array and calls the
.slice() method on it, saying "give me everything from the first element in the array up to the current part's index." In other words, this will return us a new array with everything that came before the current
part.
Down on the object we're returning from our
.map() we use a ternary operator to set the value of
href depending on the length of the
previousParts array. If the length is
0, we're at the start of our path and so there are no previous parts to render. If this is the case, we just return the
href as
/${part}.
If there are
previousParts, we use the
.join() method on that array to convert the array back into a string, concatenating the resulting string together with the name of the current
part. The end result? For each iteration, we get something like this:
{ label: 'nested', href: '/nested' } { label: 'path', href: '/nested/path' } { label: 'to', href: '/nested/path/to' } { label: '123', href: '/nested/path/to/123' }
That's it for getting our breadcrumbs. Now, let's get them rendered to the page.
/ui/pages/index/index.js
import ui from '@joystick.js/ui'; const Index = ui.component({ methods: { getBreadcrumbs: (component) => { ... }, }, css: ` .breadcrumbs { display: flex; } .breadcrumbs li { list-style: none; } .breadcrumbs li:before { content: "/"; display: inline-flex; margin-right: 10px; } .breadcrumbs li:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 10px; } `, render: ({ when, each, methods }) => { const breadcrumbs = methods.getBreadcrumbs(); return ` <div> ${when(breadcrumbs?.length > 0, ` <ul class="breadcrumbs"> ${each(breadcrumbs, (breadcrumb) => { return ` <li><a href="${breadcrumb?.href}">${breadcrumb?.label}</a></li> `; })} </ul> `)} </div> `; }, }); export default Index;
The part we want to pay attention to is down in the
render() function. Here, we've swapped the rendering of our empty
<div></div> with our breadcrumbs.
To our
render() function, we anticipate that Joystick will pass us an object representing the current component instance. Instead of writing
render: (component) => {} here, we use JavaScript destructuring to "pluck off" the specific variables we want from that object. So, instead of writing
component.when,
component.each, etc., we can just write
when,
each, and
methods (pointing to the same properties using shorthand).
Using the
methods property from this, just inside of
render(), we make a call to
methods.getBreadcrumbs() storing the result (our array of breadcrumb objects) in a variable
breadcrumbs. With this array, next, we use the
when() render function in Joystick which allows us to conditionally render some HTML when the first value we pass to the function is
true.
Here, we want to return a string of HTML which renders a
<ul></ul> (representing our list of breadcrumbs). Inside of that
<ul></ul> in order to render each breadcrumb, we use the
each() render function to say given the array passed as the first argument, for each item in that array, call the function passed as the second argument.
To that function, we expect to receive each item in the array we passed to
each, or, one of our
breadcrumb objects. Inside of the function, Joystick expects us to return a string of HTML for each iteration of the
breadcrumbs array. Because we're inside of a
<ul></ul> tag, for each breadcrumb we want to render an
<li></li> tag with an
<a></a> tag inside of it. From there, we just use plain ol' JavaScript interpolation to pass the value of our
href and
label from the current
breadcrumb object.
That's it! Up top, we've added a
css property with some simple styling to clean things up. If we pop open a browser and shift between our nested routes, we should see our breadcrumbs update dynamically.
Wrapping Up
In this tutorial, we learned how to set up some nested routes in a Joystick app. Then, we learned how to create a Joystick component which took the current path, and converted it to an array of breadcrumb objects that we could use for rendering in our UI. Finally, we learned how to conditionally render our breadcrumbs in our UI, using Joystick's
when and
each render functions.

Namespace Planning Example
The following sections explain some of the issues you must consider when planning your namespace by describing the configuration of two fictitious organizations. The first organization, which has reserved the DNS domain names reskit.com and reskit01-ext.com, has only proxy clients that support either exclusion lists or PACs. In contrast, the second organization, which has reserved the DNS domain names acquired01 - int.com and acquired01-ext.com, has no such proxy clients. Both organizations use a different domain name for their internal and external namespaces.
Reskit.com and acquired01 - int.com both need a configuration that does the following:
Exposes only the public part of the organization's namespace to the Internet.
Enables any computer within the organization to resolve any internal or external name.
Enables any computer within the organization to resolve any name from the Internet.
Moreover, both organizations have merged, and every computer from within each private namespaces must be able to resolve any name from the other namespace.
The following sections describe how both organizations have configured their external and internal namespaces to satisfy these requirements. Figure 6.27 shows this configuration.
Figure 6.27 Example Configuration of the DNS Domains Reskit.com and Acquired01-int.com
Configuring the External Namespace
In the external namespace, two zones exist: reskit01-ext.com and acquired01-ext.com. The zones contain only the records (the names and delegations) that the companies want to expose to the outside world. The server server.reskit01-ext.com. hosts the zone reskit01-ext.com, and the server server.acquired01-ext.com hosts the zone acquired01-ext.com. The names reskit01-ext.com and acquired01-ext.com must be registered with an Internet name authority.
Configuring the Internal Namespace
The internal namespace for the organization that hosts reskit01-ext.com externally is reskit.com. Similarly, the internal namespace for the organization that hosts acquired01-ext.com externally is acquired01-int.com. The server server.reskit.com hosts the zone reskit.com, and the server server.acquired01-int.com hosts the zone acquired01-int.com. The names reskit.com and acquired01-int.com must be registered with an Internet name authority.
All the computers in reskit.com support either exclusion lists or PACs, and none of the computers in acquired01-int.com support either exclusion lists or PACs.
Namespace Without Proxy Clients That Support Exclusion Lists or PACs
For a namespace in which none of the computers are proxy clients that support either exclusion lists or PACs (in this example, the namespace of acquired01-int.com), an organization must devote one or more DNS servers to maintain zones that contain all names from the internal namespace. Every DNS client must send DNS queries to one or more of these DNS servers. If a DNS server contains the zone for the top level of the organization's namespace (for example, acquired01-int.com), then it must forward those queries through a firewall to one or more DNS servers in the Internet namespace. All other DNS servers must forward queries to one or more DNS servers that contain the zone for the top level of the organization's namespace.
To make sure that any client within the organization can resolve any name from the merged organization, every DNS server containing the zone for the top level of the organization's namespace must also contain the zones that include all the internal and external names of the merged organization.
This solution places a significant load on the internal DNS servers that contain the organization's internal top-level zones. Most of the queries generated within the organization are forwarded to these servers, including queries for computers in the external namespace and in the merged organization's private namespace. Also, the servers must contain secondary copies of the merged organization's zones.
Namespace with Proxy Clients That Support Exclusion Lists or PACs
For a namespace in which all of the computers are proxy clients that support either exclusion lists or PACs (for example, the namespace of reskit.com), the private namespace can include a private root. In the internal namespace, there can be one or more root servers, and all other DNS servers must include the name and IP address of a root server in their root hints files.
To resolve internal and external names, every DNS client must submit all queries to either the internal DNS servers or to a proxy server, based on an exclusion list or PAC file.
To make sure that every client within the organization can resolve every name from the merged organization, the private root zone must contain a delegation to the zone for the top level of the merged organization.
Using proxy clients and a private root simplifies DNS configuration because none of the DNS servers need to include a secondary copy of the zone. However, this configuration requires you to create and manage exclusion lists or PAC files, which must be added to every proxy client in the network. | https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959313(d=printer).aspx | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | refinedweb | 833 | 58.08 |

Libtiff normally memory maps input files on platforms where it makes
sense. You can re-inforce your desire for memory-mapped input by
adding 'M' to the TIFFOpen() option string, or prevent it by adding
'm' to the option string.
You can gain a bit more control over what libtiff does by using
TIFFClientOpen() to define the I/O functions it should use. One of
these functions is to memory map the file.
Please note that libtiff memory maps the entire file. It does not
attempt to do any "windowing" on the memory mapping. This means if
the input TIFF file is larger than the available process address
space, the mapping will fail.

Advanced SCSS
I’ve been working with SCSS lately and just wanted to drop this awesome gist here for reference. Anyone interested in some really cool things you can do with SCSS, check it out!

So this data structure is one of the more complicated structures I’ll post about, I think I’ll be done with C++ for awhile.
A brief description of a graph, as explained by Wikipedia, .”
This being said, in simple, it is a structure with connected node points. An ideal use for it, is determining the shortest path. Take on the airplane analogy. What is the shortest path an airlines can put you through? There are so many ways to fly from one place to another, think of all the possible transfers, not just a direct flight. So a graph data structure would be perfect for storing each airport and the total distance to each one. Then when a customer comes to buy a ticket, it will be easy to calculate the shortest path for them to their destination.
We are specifically going to look at graphs with weighted edges, from our analogy above, the weighted edge describes the distance to each airport. The weight determines which route the algorithm will take, ideally the lesser weight because it will be the shortest path.
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <assert.h> using namespace std; class graph{ public: static const size_t MAX = 20; graph(){ numVerticies = 0; edges = new int*[MAX]; labels = new char*[MAX]; for(size_t i = 0; i < MAX; i++){ edges[i] = new int[MAX]; labels[i] = nullptr; } for (size_t i = 0; i < MAX; i++){ for(size_t j = 0; j < MAX; j++) { edges[i][j] = -1; } } } ~graph() { delete[] labels; delete[] edges; } void add_edge(int source, int target, int weight=0) { assert(source >= 0 && source < numVerticies); assert(target >= 0 && target < numVerticies); edges[source][target] = weight; } void add_vertex(char * vertexLabel) { assert(numVerticies < MAX); for(size_t i = 0; i < numVerticies + 1; i++) { edges[i][numVerticies] = -1; edges[numVerticies][i] = -1; } labels[numVerticies] = new char[strlen(vertexLabel) + 1]; strcpy(labels[numVerticies], vertexLabel); numVerticies++; } void shortestPath(int start) { int* distance = new int[numVerticies]; bool* marked = new bool[numVerticies]; for(size_t i = 0; i < numVerticies; i++){ marked[i] = false; } vector<int> path; reset(distance); distance[start] = 0; cout << "Starting Dijkstra’s Shortest-Distance Algorithm with vertex " << labels[start] << endl; int min = start; while(path.size() < numVerticies) { for (int v = 0; v < numVerticies; v++) { if (!marked[v]){ if(distance[v] < distance[min]) { min = v; } } } //Print it out if (path.size() > 0){ int src = min; int src_index = path.size() - 1; while (edges[path[src_index]][min] != (distance[min] - distance[path[src_index]])){ src_index--; } src = path[src_index]; cout << "Vertex Pair " << labels[src] << "," << labels[min] << " "; cout << " Pair Cost: " << (distance[min] - distance[src]); cout << " Cost From Start: " << distance[min] << endl; } path.push_back(min); marked[min] = true; for (int i = 0; i < numVerticies; i++) { if(is_edge(min, i) && (distance[i] > (distance[min] + edges[min][i]))) { distance[i] = edges[min][i] + distance[min]; } } for (int x = 0; x < numVerticies; x++) { if (!marked[x]){ min = x; break; } } } delete[] marked; delete[] distance; } void reset (int *&dist) { for (int i = 0; i < numVerticies; i++) { dist[i] = 999999999; } } void DFS(int start) { assert(start >= 0 && start < numVerticies); bool* marked = new bool[numVerticies]; for(size_t i = 0; i < numVerticies; i++){ marked[i] = false; } cout << "Starting DFS with vertex " << labels[start] << endl; DFS(start, marked); cout << endl; delete[] marked; } private: int** edges; char** labels; int numVerticies; bool is_edge(int source, int target) { assert(source >= 0 && source < numVerticies); assert(target >= 0 && target < numVerticies); return edges[source][target] > -1; } void DFS(int start, bool marked[]){ assert(start >= 0 && start < numVerticies); marked[start] = true; cout << labels[start] << " "; for (int i = 0; i < numVerticies; ++i) { if(edges[start][i] > -1 && !marked[i]) { DFS(i, marked); } } } };

- Unzip the ZIP Archive I have attached to this blog post.
- Open a Command Prompt and execute install.bat.
- The Install.bat script actually sets up the project templates for Visual Studio 2005, but it does not import the snippets nor does it add the controls to the tool-box. So you have to do that manually.
- To add the Activities to the toolbox, just create a new Tab in Visual Studio's toolbox and call it "SharePoint Workflow". Then right-click the toolbox and select Choose Items. All all Activities that you can find within the Microsoft.sharepoint.WorkflowActions assembly (you can use the "add items" dialog-box to filter based on the Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow namespace name).
- Next you can import the code snippets using the Visual Studio 2005 Code Snippet Manager (CTRL+K, CTRL+B), which are by default copied to the "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\1033\Snippets\SharePoint Workflow" directory. I'd recommend adding the whole folder in the code-snippets manager - then you are going to get exactly the same experience as I got in my session..

Ask the Experts at Microsoft Build
Hello developers!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Microsoft Build this week. There was a lot of amazing announcements across the company, but for the Surface Duo Developer Experience team the highlight was sharing the latest info on building and enhancing your apps for dual-screens, and “meeting” everyone who attended the live Ask The Experts session. We really appreciate the passion of the developer community and look forward to talking with you more at future events.
Until then, here’s a summary of the top questions and answers from the session (which is also available to watch online).
Are the dual-screen APIs Surface Duo-specific or are becoming standardized across all foldables?
Early last year when we introduced the Surface Duo SDK, we released the DisplayMask package which only works on Surface Duo. This library provided a stable platform upon which to build dual-screen applications for Surface Duo.
Around the same time, Google released the first alpha version of Jetpack Window Manager, which is a standardized API for all types of dual-screen and foldable devices, including the Surface Duo and foldables from other manufacturers. Window Manager is currently at version alpha06 and we are incorporating it into our dual-screen SDK so that developers can maximize the benefits of enhancing their apps once it’s stable.
Surface Duo fully supports both APIs and we encourage adoption of Jetpack Window Manager once it’s stable.
After adding multi-instance support, what would you recommend as the next easiest step to make existing apps better on the Surface Duo?
A couple of minor changes that you could add and that will make your app shine on dual-screen and foldable form factors are drag and drop, which will allow you get rich data coming from other apps that have implemented that functionality or to provide data to others.
Launching a new Activity to the adjacent screen is also a really powerful option for dual-screen devices. Your app will be able to launch new Activities to the adjacent screen when this is empty, so your users are not taken out of the flow (e.g. reading an article and taping on a link it would be launched to the adjacent screen while your users still have the focus on the article they were reading.
Having said that, if you want to take advantage of having your app spanned across displays you can show an adapted UI for that mode. We provide a series of different components such as SurfaceDuoLayout, BottomNavigation, etc. that will help you to create nice dual screen experiences.
Google has also embraced large screen, foldable, and dual-screen devices and created a bunch of new components such as SlidingPaneLayout and updates in ConstraintLayout that will also help you support foldable and dual-screen devices.
Can I use Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) to build dual-screen apps?
Yes, you totally can use it. Surface Duo runs Android and you can use any programming language or framework used to create Android apps.
We would like to highlight that Surface Duo supports Jetpack Window Manager in order to work with the specific capabilities of the device, such as the physical hinge or the different postures. Since Jetpack Window Manager is used as well on other foldable devices, you can create your new experiences that work well across these new form factor devices so you can take even more advantage of your single Kotlin Multiplatform codebase.
Will .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) support dual-screen devices?
When the .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) ships later this year, it will have the same dual-screen support currently available in Xamarin.Forms. The goal, as with the entire .NET MAUI platform, is to make updating from Xamarin.Forms as seamless as possible, so it should just be a matter of changing namespaces.
The Xamarin team announced Preview 4 at Build (which you can download today). TwoPaneView is not currently in available the preview but keep an eye on this blog for future updates.
How difficult is it to take an existing Xamarin.Forms app and add dual-screen support?
At a high level, all you need to do is add the dual-screen support NuGet and adapt your layouts using the DualScreenInfo helper class, or use the TwoPaneView layout control in your content pages. Craig’s session Developing dual-screen apps with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms walks through the processing of updating an existing Xamarin.Forms app for Surface Duo. There is also a free Microsoft Learn module Build dual-screen Xamarin.Forms apps by using TwoPaneView which walks through the process using one of our sample apps.
You can also check out the Surface Duo documentation for Xamarin for tips and links to samples.
Are the web APIs stable yet? I want to enhance my web app to support dual screen.
Unfortunately the dual-screen web APIs are not yet stable, and must be enabled via edge://flags in Microsoft Edge on the Surface Duo. You can also test dual-screen web features in desktop Edge or Chrome.
The good news is that you can still release a dual-screen web app using an Origin Trial token. Signing up for a token and placing it in your HTML or response headers will “switch on” the dual-screen web APIs for your site.
Just remember the APIs are still considered under development, so if any tweaks are made to the standards, watch the Edge developer blog (and the Surface Duo developer blog) for information and keep your code updated!
Are there SDKs for the web or is it a vanilla JavaScript API? Most importantly, does it support Progressive Web Apps?
There are two parts to the dual-screen web API: CSS and JavaScript. The CSS support is in the form of media queries for when the browser is spanned across the entire screen of a dual-screen device. There are also environment variables you can use in your styles to arrange elements around the hinge.
The JavaScript support is via a method getWindowSegments which returns an array of rectangle coordinates for each screen that the page is rendering on. You can check this method on events like resize and use the screen dimensions to adjust your layout for dual-screen devices.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are also supported – there’s a blog post Build and deploy dual-screen progressive web apps that walks you through the details, including some sample dual-screen PWAs.
For new Surface Duo apps, would you recommend going straight to Compose or use the “traditional” way?
It depends on where your experience lies. If you are coming from React, Flutter or iOS SwiftUI, Compose will be a very good option for you due to the nature of the declarative UI and similar syntax. But if the timeline is tight, it will be more pragmatic to stick with the “tranditional” way if you’ve been doing it for a while.
Many developers enjoy its conciseness and flexibility for dual-screen development. Compose is in beta now and will become stable this July. It is a great time to have a try it out, even not using it for production apps (yet!).
How are the dual-screen PRs for the Flutter framework going?
We are really happy with the positive feedback we’ve received on the foldable support that’s been proposed for Flutter. Since Flutter is open-source, you can view our pull-requests directly (see the Flutter support for foldable devices announcement for details). The new APIs are based on Jetpack Window Manager which is currently at version alpha06. As it moves to beta and stable, the Flutter team will be in a position to move the foldable support forward into the core.
If you’re a Flutter developer that’s interested in building apps for foldable devices, we’d love to hear from you (via feedback forum or on Twitter) about your requirements.
Any design tips for creating beautiful Surface Duo dual-screen apps?
We have lots of resources for UX designers working on dual-screen apps, including documentation that covers common app patterns and the Surface Duo Design Kit in Figma which covers the patterns but also includes device frames, controls guidance, and more. There are also dual-screen enhanced Microsoft Fluent UI Android controls that you can add to your app, and of course you can take full advantage of Material Design in your Android apps.
Resources and feedback
All the Surface Duo sessions at Microsoft Build 2021 were recorded and are available to view online:
If you have any questions, or would like to tell us about your apps, use the feedback forum or message us on Twitter @surfaceduodev.

If you put -stdlib=libc++ in CXXFLAGS, graphite2 1.2.0 fails to build with:
/usr/bin/../lib/c++/v1/utility:255:15: error: no viable overloaded '='
first = __p.first;
as reported to the MacPorts project here:
This is not a problem on shipping versions of OS X because they use libstdc++ as the standard library.

Then don't build with -stdlib=libc++, graphite2 is carefully designed to not require libc++ and in fact has a test to check that it hasn't linked to it. Leaving the bug open in case there is another reason why it was felt necessary to add this.

Your comment makes no sense to me. We never said we were requiring libc++. We're saying that your code has bugs which prevent it from being built against libc++.
The graphite2 library itself works perfectly fine when linking against libc++.
The problem is just the featuremap test application.

Rumor has it libc++ will be the default on Apple's upcoming OS X 10.9 Mavericks, so if you want your software to continue to run on OS X in the future, you will have to build correctly with libc++.
Why should linking against libstdc++ (which we consciously avoid and have a test that fails if graphite is linked against libstdc++), cause a header file to fail? This bug is currently out of scope for us to deal with. Maybe we should wait until 10.9 to see whether they really are getting rid of libc (I would be surprised given the value of objective C to Apple) and requiring libstdc++. At that point we can look into why a difference in linkage should cause a .h file to blow up (esp. when we don't overload =). Seems like a C++ bug to me.
Hmm. This error occurs in a test file, so even if we get really stuck we can just avoid that test and I assume that the rest of the library has therefore built fine.
Looking at the particular source file, I notice that all system headers are loaded first, and that there are no C++ statements before the #includes and that fstream is number 3 on the list. So I would assume this would be replicable with a simple file consisting of:
If so, then this is not a graphite problem, it's a C++ problem
Happy digging.

OS X 10.9 Mavericks was released in October. Unlike OS X 10.8 and earlier before it which used a version of libstdc++ as the system C++ library, 10.9 uses libc++.
When building graphite2 1.2.4 on such a system whose default C++ library is libc++, it fails, in the manner Jeremy described to you when he opened this ticket in February.
Passing
-stdlib=libc++ on such a system is not necessary; it fails without that, since libc++ is now the default. But passing
-stdlib=libc++ can show you the problem on older systems that do not default to libc++.
We are continuing in MacPorts to use the patch Jeremy committed to MacPorts in February, which removes the line featuring
add_subdirectory(featuremap) from the file tests/CMakeLists.txt.
If you want graphite2 to build on OS X 10.9 and other newer systems that use libc++, you need to change graphite2's code. Thank you.
Martin Hosken
2013-12-05
OK. Having the context as to why we have to link against libstdc++ more sense now. OTOH is it at all possible to just link against glibc? And would that make any difference to this bug anyway which looks to me to have nothing to do with the linker?
I'm afraid we have no OSX 10.9 to test on so we are reliant on you guys to help debug this one. I refer you to my reply of 13/9 where I listed the first 3 lines of the relevant file. You will notice that it simply includes 3 standard headers. If the C compiler can't handle that, I would humbly suggest that there is a problem somewhere in the C header stack. I don't see what we can do upstream to address this problem. Suggestions welcomed. | http://sourceforge.net/p/silgraphite/bugs/54/ | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | refinedweb | 744 | 81.93 |
Razor Syntax
Razor Syntax allows you to embed code (C#) into page views through the use of a few keywords (such as “@”), and then have the C# code be processed and converted at runtime to HTML. In other words, rather than coding static HTML syntax in the page view, a user can code in the view in C# and have the Razor engine convert the C# code into HTML at runtime, creating a dynamically generated HTML web page.
@page @model IndexModel <h2>Welcome</h2> <ul> @for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { <li>@i</li> } </ul>
The @page Directive
In a Razor view page (.cshtml), the
@page directive indicates that the file is a Razor Page.
In order for the page to be treated as a Razor Page, and have ASP.NET parse the view syntax with the Razor engine, the directive
@page should be added at the top of the file.
There can be empty space before the
@page directive, but there cannot be any other characters, even an empty code block.
@page @model IndexModel <h1>Welcome to my Razor Page</h1> <p>Title: @Model.Title</p>
The @model Directive
The page model class, i.e. the data and methods that hold the functionality associated with a view page, is made available to the view page via the
@model directive.
By specifying the model in the view page, Razor exposes a
Model property for accessing the model passed to the view page. We can then access properties and functions from that model by using the keyword
Model or render its property values on the browser by prefixing the property names with
@Model, e.g.
@Model.PropertyName.
@page @model PersonModel // Rendering the value of FirstName in PersonModel <p>@Model.FirstName</p> <ul> // Accessing the value of FavoriteFoods in PersonModel @foreach (var food in Model.FavoriteFoods) { <li>@food</li> } </ul>
Razor Markup
Razor pages use the
@symbol to transition from HTML to C#. C# expressions are evaluated and then rendered in the HTML output. You can use Razor syntax under the following conditions:
Anything immediately following the
Code blocks must appear within
A single line of code that uses spaces should be surrounded by parentheses,
@page @model PersonModel // Using the `@` symbol: <h1>My name is @Model.FirstName and I am @Model.Age years old </h1> // Using a code block: @{ var greet = "Hey threre!"; var name = "John"; <h1>@greet I'm @name!</h1> } // Using parentheses: <p>Last week this time: @(DateTime.Now - TimeSpan.FromDays(7))</p>
Razor Conditionals
Conditionals in Razor code can be written pretty much the same way you would in regular C# code. The only exception is to prefix the keyword
if with the
else or
else if conditions doesn’t need to be preprended with the
@symbol. Afterward, any
@symbol.
// if-else if-else statment: @{ var time = 9; } @if (time < 10) { <p>Good morning, the time is: @time</p> } else if (time < 20) { <p>Good day, the time is: @time</p> } else { <p>Good evening, the time is: @time</p> }
Razor Switch Statements
In Razor Pages, a switch statement begins with the
switch. The condition is then written in parentheses and finally the switch cases are written within curly brackets,
@symbol followed by the keyword
{}.
@{ string day = "Monday"; } @switch (day) { case "Saturday": <p>Today is Saturday</p> break; case "Sunday": <p>Today is Sunday</p> break; default: <p>Today is @day... Looking forward to the weekend</p> break; }
Razor For Loops
In Razor Pages, a
for loop is prepended by the
@symbol followed by a set of conditions wrapped in parentheses. The
@symbol must be used when referring to C# code.
@{ List<string> avengers = new List<string>() { "Spiderman", "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Thor", }; } <h1>The Avengers Are:</h1> @for (int i = 0; i < @avengers.Count; i++) { <p>@avengers[i]</p> }
Razor Foreach Loops
In Razor Pages, a
foreach loop is prepended by the
@symbol followed by a set of conditions wrapped in parentheses. Within the conditions, we can create a variable that will be used when rendering its value on the browser.
@{ List<string> avengers = new List<string>() { "Spiderman", "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Thor", }; } <h1>The Avengers Are:</h1> @foreach (var avenger in avengers) { <p>@avenger</p> }
Razor While Loops
A
while loop repeats the execution of a sequence of statements as long as a set of conditions is
true, once the condition becomes
false we break out of the loop.
When writing a
while loop, we must prepend the keyword
while with the
@symbol and write the condition within parentheses.
@{ int i = 0; } @while (i < 5) { <p>@i</p> i++; }
Razor View Data
In Razor Pages, you can use the
ViewData property to pass data from a Page Model to its corresponding view page, as well as share it with the layout, and any partial views.
ViewData is a dictionary that can contain key-value pairs where each key must be a string. The values can be accessed in the view page using the
@symbol.
A huge benefit of using
ViewData comes when working with layout pages. We can easily pass information from each individual view page such as the
title, into the layout by storing it in the
ViewData dictionary in a view page:
@{ ViewData["Title"] = "Homepage" }
We can then access it in the layout like so:
ViewData["Title"]. This way, we don’t need to hardcode certain information on each individual view page.
// Page Model: Index.cshtml.cs public class IndexModel : PageModel { public void OnGet() { ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to my page!"; ViewData["Date"] = DateTime.Now(); } } // View Page: Index.cshtml @page @model IndexModel <h1>@ViewData["Message"]</h1> <h2>Today is: @ViewData["Date"]</h2>
Razor Shared Layouts
In Razor Pages, you can reduce code duplication by sharing layouts between view pages. A default layout is set up for your application in the _Layout.cshtml file located in Pages/Shared/.
Inside the _Layout.cshtml file there is a method call:
RenderBody(). This method specifies the point at which the content from the view page is rendered relative to the layout defined.
If you want your view page to use a specific Layout page you can define it at the top by specifying the filename without the file extension:
@{ Layout = "LayoutPage" }
// Layout: _LayoutExample.cshtml <body> ... <div class="container body-content"> @RenderBody() <footer> <p>@DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET Application</p> </footer> </div> </body> // View Page: Example.cshtml @page @model ExampleModel @{ Layout = "_LayoutExample" } <h1>This content will appear where @RenderBody is called!</h1>
Razor Tag Helpers
In Razor Pages, Tag Helpers change and enhance existing HTML elements by adding specific attributes to them. The elements they target are based on the element name, the attribute name, or the parent tag.
ASP.NET provides us with numerous built-in Tag Helpers that can be used for common tasks - such as creating forms, links, loading assets, and more.
// Page Model: Example.cshtml.cs public class ExampleModel : PageModel { public string Language { get; set; } public List<SelectListItem> Languages { get; } = new List<SelectListItem> { new SelectListItem { // asp-for: The name of the specified model property. // asp-items: A collection of SelectListItemoptions that appear in the select list. <select asp-</select> <br /> <button type="submit">Register</button> </form> // HTML Rendered: <form method="post"> <select id="Language" name="Language"> <option value="C#">C#</option> <option value="Javascript">Javascript</option> <option value="Ruby">Ruby</option> <br> </select> <button type="submit">Register</button> </form>
Razor View Start File
When creating a template with ASP.NET, a ViewStart.cshtml file is automatically generated under the /Pages folder.
The ViewStart.cshtml file is generally used to define the layout for the website but can be used to define common view code that you want to execute at the start of each View’s rendering. The generated file contains code to set up the main layout for the application.
// ViewStart.cshtml @{ Layout: "_Layout" }
Razor View Imports
The _ViewImports.cshtml file is automatically generated under /Pages when we create a template with ASP.NET.
Just like the _ViewStart.cshtml file, _ViewImports.cshtml is invoked for all your view pages before they are rendered.
The purpose of the file is to write common directives that our view pages need. ASP.NET currently supports a few directives that can be added such as:
@namespace,
@using,
@addTagHelpers, and
@inject amongst a few other ones. Instead of having to add them individually to each page, we can place the directives here and they’ll be available globally throughout the application.
// _ViewImports.cshtml @using YourProject @namespace YourProject.Pages @addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
Razor Partials
Partial views are an effective way of breaking up large views into smaller components and reduce complexity. A partial consists of fragments of HTML and server-side code to be included in any number of pages or layouts.
We can use the Partial Tag Helper,
<partial>, in order to render a partial’s content in a view page.
// _MyPartial.cshtml <form method="post"> <input type="email" name="emailaddress"> <input type="submit"> </form> // Example.cshtml <h1> Welcome to my page! </h1> <h2> Fill out the form below to subscribe!:</h2> <partial name="_MyPartial" /> | https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-asp-net/modules/asp-net-razor-syntax/cheatsheet | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | refinedweb | 1,507 | 54.63 |
How to make primary contact as default of the account while creating SR
SummaryMap the account and primary contact in service request object
Content
Hi Team,
While creating service request from SR UI, based on the account the primary contact should be populated. As of now the standard functionality is based on the primary contact, the account was mapped automatically. But as per our requirement it should be from Account to Primary contact.
I have tried below script to achieve. But that is not working for me.
def accountid = AccountPartyId
def ContactName
if(AccountPartyId != null)
{
def voBP = newView('SalesAccountVO');
def vcBP = voBP.createViewCriteria();
def vcrBP = vcBP.createRow();
def vciBP = vcrBP.ensureCriteriaItem('PartyId');

Introduction there watching the traffic, and you still want to gain access!
Pen-Testing Training
In such a situation, client-side attack and having knowledge in programming are your best friends. Why is that? A client-side attack is considered a very dangerous threat, especially when it’s combined with a coordinated social engineering attack against employees who are not aware of the IT security field. For example, no matter what your security rules are, if you can trick the right person into opening the wrong (malicious) software, the system may get compromised.
In this article, we will create a simple but powerful and undetectable SSH backdoor written in Python with some built-in features like SFTP. At the final stage we will export this backdoor as a standalone and test it against online virus scanners as well as inside a simulated secure environment in VirtualBox.
Why Python? Python is a hacker’s language, it’s very simple to learn, runs over multiple platforms, and has a wealth of third-party libraries out there, making your job much easier.
After reading this article…
You will have a great example of forging Python in penetration testing and you may use or tune the code for a real world case. Plus you will be aware of the effectiveness of client-side attack and the importance of programming your own weapon where other tools will fail in such a tough scenario.
Lab Environment Overview
Reflecting a real world scenario, let’s take a look into our network diagram, which I built in VBox to illustrate a secure environment:
Attacker Machine
>IP address : 10.0.2.15/24
>OS: BackTrack 5 R3
>Python Version: 2.6
Victim Machine
>IP address : 192.168.1.15/24
>OS: Windows 7 SP1 32 bit
>Zone Alarm Firewall and anti-virus installed (free version)
>Python Version: 2.7 (installed for demonstration only)
Network Infrastructure
>Pfsense Firewall with SNORT IDS/IPS integrated service
>Pfsense is NATing the victim machine [192.168.1.15] to its WAN interface [10.0.2.1]
>2xVirtual switches created by VBox
Building the machines from scratch inside VBox is out of our scope in this article; however, I have to briefly show you the configuration in case someone would like to replicate the scenario.
Pfsense configuration
*For WAN (outside) interface [10.0.2.1], all incoming traffic is denied by default unless it’s initiated from inside [LAN interface], simply because pfSense is a stateful firewall.
*For LAN (inside) interface [192.168.1.0/24], most likely you will see that only the necessary ports are allowed in the outbound direction, based on business needs. In this case, I assumed 80,443, and 22 will be allowed.
*All our inside clients [192.168.1.0/24] will be NATed to the WAN interface, so they will appear as 10.0.2.1 to the attacker machine.
*SNORT is watching traffic on both directions (inbound and outbound) for pfSense LAN & WAN interfaces.
*SNORT signatures are updated at the time of writing this article.
Note: In addition to the default enabled SNORT rules, I’ve manually enabled all the rules for the below categories because they are heavily focusing on malicious activity initiated from $HOME_NET (where Win 7 located) to the outside world
$EXTERNAL_NET (where BT is located) :-
GPLv2_community.rules
Emerging-trojan.rules
Emerging-malware.rules
*Here we have Win 7 updated with history log:
*Zone alarm FW and anti-virus are up and running and its DB signature is updated as well.

2-Building the SSH Tunnel
3-Reverse Shell
4-SFTP
5-Write Your Own Custom Feature (Grabbing a Screenshot)
6-Code Wrap up into EXE
7-Verification
How the Attack Works
The main key to have a successful client-side attack is to gain an employee’s trust to download and open your malicious software. There are too many ways to do this; during reconnaissance phase, you may search around and see what topics this employee is interested in. Maybe he/she has a post on Facebook asking for free software to download YouTube videos! Get my point here? I will leave this to your imagination, as every penetration tester has his own way.
Once the victim opens ‘execute’ (your backdoor), a TCP SYN request will be initiated back to the attacker machine, which is supposed to be listening and waiting for incoming requests on port 22 to complete the TCP 3-way handshake and establish an SSH tunnel on the top of the TCP socket.
Inside this secure channel, we will transfer arbitrary commands to our victim and make it send the execution result back to us. Encryption is a great way to evade IDS/IPS sensors since they will be completely blind about the traffic type that passed on. Making a ‘reverse shell’ is also a well-known method to bypass FW rules, as it is most likely blocking all incoming connections, but you can’t block all outbound connections since they are mandatory for business needs.
Building the SSH Tunnel
Python has many third-party libraries that simplify SSH implementation and provide a high user level. I will use the Paramiko library, as it has fabulous features and allows us to program a simple client-server channel and much more!
Before proceeding, I recommend you take a look into a folder called “demos” inside the Paramiko bundle. Paramiko’s author has done a great job in explaining how to use Paramiko in multiple scenarios through demo scripts. Files we are interested in:
*demo_server.py : a demo for a simple SSH Server [BackTrack in our case]
*demo_simple.py : a demo for a simple SSH Client [Windows 7 in our case]
*demo_s : a demo for a simple SFTP Client [Windows 7 in our case]
*rforward.py : a demo for Reverse Port-Forwarding [Check challenge yourself section]
In this section, we will program the server & client-side and transfer simple strings over the SSH channel.
Server Side
import socket import paramiko import threading import sys host_key = paramiko.RSAKey(filename='/root/Desktop/test_rsa.key') class Server (paramiko.ServerInterface): def _init_(self): self.event = threading.Event() def check_channel_request(self, kind, chanid): if kind == 'session': return paramiko.OPEN_SUCCEEDED return paramiko.OPEN_FAILED_ADMINISTRATIVELY_PROHIBITED def check_auth_password(self, username, password): if (username == 'root') and (password == 'toor'): return paramiko.AUTH_SUCCESSFUL return paramiko.AUTH_FAILED try: sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) sock.bind(('10.0.2.15', 22)) sock.listen(100) print '[+] Listening for connection ...' client, addr = sock.accept() except Exception, e: print '[-] Listen/bind/accept failed: ' + str(e) sys.exit(1) print '[+] Got a connection!' try: t = paramiko.Transport(client) try: t.load_server_moduli() except: print '[-] (Failed to load moduli -- gex will be unsupported.)' raise t.add_server_key(host_key) server = Server() try: t.start_server(server=server) except paramiko.SSHException, x: print '[-] SSH negotiation failed.' chan = t.accept(20) print '[+] Authenticated!' print chan.recv(1024) chan.send('Yeah i can see this') except Exception, e: print '[-] Caught exception: ' + str(e. class ) + ': ' + str(e) try: t.close() except: pass sys.exit(1)
The code starts with defining the location for RSA key, which be used to sign and verify
SSH2 data. I used the test_rsa.key that was packed inside the Paramiko bundle.
1 ‘class Server’ defines an interface for controlling the behavior of Paramiko in server mode, and includes necessary functions that handle the requests coming from the client-side. For example, ‘def check_auth_password‘ defines if a given username and password supplied by the client is correct during authentication.
‘def check_channel_request’ is called in our server when the client requests a channel. After authentication is complete, in this case we defined a ‘session’ channel type only to be allowed, other types would be [PTY, Shell] but remember that
we won’t need the client (victim) to establish (or even request) a PTY/Shell terminal back to us, right?
Next, we used ‘socket’, a built-in Python library for creating a TCP socket object named
2 ‘sock’, and assign some options like (socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) allowing us to bind an IP address that previously connected and left the socket in TIME_WAIT. Then we defined that we are binding our 10.0.2.15 interface address on port 22 and listening for 100 connections (in fact we are only interested in one connection from our victim). sock.accept() return a socket object stored in a variable called
‘client’.
Finally we passed the ‘client’ socket object to ‘Transport’ class, which is responsible for
3 negotiating an encrypted session, authenticating, and then creating stream tunnels called channel ‘chan’ across the session. We interact with our victim inside a channel through ‘chan.send’ and ‘chan.recv’ functions.
If all went fine we should send (‘Yeah i can see this’) to the client and print out what the client has sent.
Client Side
In network programming, usually the client side is less complicated than the server side. You can notice this with four total lines needed to establish a channel.
import paramiko import threading client = paramiko.SSHClient() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) client.connect('10.0.2.15', username='root', password='toor') chan = client.get_transport().open_session() chan.send('Hey i am connected :) ') print chan.recv(1024) client.close
SSHClient() class takes care of most aspects of authenticating and opening channels.
1 paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()
class automatically adds the hostname and server host key to the local ‘HostKeys‘ object and saves it, so we won’t worry about the notification message about recognizing the server key fingerprint that appears when you first connect to an SSH server. Then we define the IP address of our attacking machine [10.0.2.15 ] with login credentials.
‘client.get_transport().open_session()‘ requests a new channel of type ‘session‘ from
2 the server (still remember ‘def check_channel_request’ from the server code?). If all
goes fine, we should send (‘Hey i am connected :) ‘) to the server and print out what the server has sent.
Quick Test
Before moving on, I’ve already installed a Python compiler on the Windows 7 machine so we can quickly test our code, however in the last phase we will compile the whole code into single standalone EXE file which will be tested in our secure environment.
*Starting the server script
root@bt:~# python /root/Desktop/Server\ Part\ 1.py

Hey i am connected :)
Perfect, everything is working as expected we see the channel output on both sides as we programmed in the script.
Reverse Shell
Paramiko is not designed to be used for penetration testing, the author ‘as others do’ supposed that the client will execute commands on the server and this occurs via the ‘chan.exec_command(command)’ function. However it’s reversed in our scenario since the server (hacker) is the one who will execute commands remotely on the client (victim). To overcome this, we will initiate a subprocess on the client side, and based on commands we received from the server via chan.recv() ,our client will send the output back via chan.send().
Server Side
#Add the following code after ‘chan.send(‘Yeah i can see this’)’ from the previous server script.
while True: command= raw_input("Enter command: ").strip('\n') chan.send(command) print chan.recv(1024) + '\n'
We just need to grab a command from the user via raw_input and send it to the client to execute it, then print out the result.
Client Side
import subprocess while True: command = chan.recv(1024) try: CMD = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True) chan.send(CMD) except Exception,e: chan.send(str(e))
‘subprocess.check_output’ execute the received command and return its output as a byte string to ‘CMD‘ variable, which gets transferred back to server. Note that we use exception handling with ‘subprocess.check_output’ because if the attacker mistyped a command, this will raise an exception and we will lose our shell. We definitely don’t want this.
Quick Test
*Start server script and then client script and issue some commands like ‘ipconfig,chdir’ to verify remote execution.: chdir C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop Enter command: arp -a Interface: 192.168.1.15 --- 0xb Internet Address Physical Address Type 192.168.1.1 08-00-27-b3-a2-7
Bingo! We have successfully executed commands remotely through the encrypted SSH channel. Let’s move on to do more actions.
SFTP
Transferring files with your victim becomes very handy, especially for post exploitation phases such as leaking sensitive documents or uploading software for pivoting. At this point we have multiple choices:
The worst: we can transfer files over the TCP socket, but this method may corrupt the file during transmission, especially if the file is large. As a matter of fact, this is why an entire protocol (FTP) was designed.
The best: to program an SFTP server using Paramiko, but SFTP server programming can be quite difficult.
The easiest: Fire up an OpenSSH server on a different hacking machine or bind it to a different NIC address. We need this because port 22 is reserved for our Python server on IP : 10.0.2.15.
SFTP Server
To avoid increasing code complexity on the server side, I will go for the last option and use OpenSSH with the following configuration:
root@bt:~# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config ... Port 22 ListenAddress 10.0.2.16 ChallengeResponseAuthentication no Subsystem sftp internal-sftp UsePAM no ...
SFTP Client) while True: command = chan.recv(1024) if 'grab' in command: grab,name,path = command.split('*') chan.send( sftp(path,name) )
Create a condition triggered by receiving a certain word ‘grab‘ to indicate that we need
1 to transfer a file from a victim machine. To transfer a file we need necessary parameters like file name, file path on victim machine, and the storing directory back on attacker side. The server has to send that information in a certain formula so we can split these parameters and pass it to our SFTP function.
In this case, I used asterisk ‘*’ to separate between these parameters. For example, on server side, if we send:
grab*photo*C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\photo.jpeg
using split function we can break the above sentence into 3 variables based on ‘*’
grab,name,path = command.split(‘*’)
>grab variable will contain grab string we received from the server
>name variable will contain the file name to be uploaded in server side, in this case it’s
photo
>path variable will contains the ‘photo’ path, in this case it’s
C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\photo.jpeg
Once SFTP function got the path and file name, it will initiate a new SSH session on port 22 back to our BackTrack machine. After authentication and establishing an SSH tunnel we can start transferring the photo using FTP protocol and it will be saved in a pre-created directory called ‘/root/Desktop/SFTP-Upload/’ , thanks to s(local_path, ‘/root/Desktop/SFTP-Upload/’+name)
If all went okay, SFTP function will return a ‘[+] Done’ string back to us through our previous channel, otherwise, it will print the exception occurred.
Quick test

Enter command: grab*Nancy_Ajram*C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\Data\Nancy_Ajram.jpeg
[+] Done
Enter command:
And we can see the image below in SFTP-Upload folder, voilà!
Write Your Own Custom Feature (Grabbing a Screenshot )
In this part we will learn how to tune the previous script to add more functionality based on custom needs. Let’s try to replicate grabbing a screenshot option in Metasploit Meterpreter.
Client Side
from PIL import ImageGrab def screenshot(): try: im = ImageGrab.grab() im.save('C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\screenshot.png') except Exception,e: return str(e) return sftp('C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\screenshot.png','screenshot') while True: command = chan.recv(1024) if 'grab' in command: grab,name,path = command.split('*') chan.send( sftp(path,name) ) elif 'getscreen' in command: chan.send ( screenshot() )
1 Similar to what we’ve done in SFTP ‘grab‘, we appended another if statement in sequential
order that says “if we receive ‘getscreen‘ from our server, we will call def screenshot()
function and send the result of this function back to server.”
2 def screenshot() function uses ‘ImageGrab‘ class from Python Image Library (PIL) where it has a built in function to capture a screenshot, saving the output to C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\screenshot.png’ then we utilized SFTP function to transfer it for us.
Quick Test

Checking our “Upload” directory we can see our new image over there:
Code Wrap up into EXE
There are multiple ways to convert a Python script into standalone EXE. We will use py2exe for this purpose.
Step 1: Grouping our client functions into a single file called “Client.py”
import paramiko import threading import subprocess from PIL import ImageGrab) def screenshot(): try: im = ImageGrab.grab() im.save('C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\screenshot.png') except Exception,e: return str(e) return sftp('C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop\screenshot.png','screenshot') client = paramiko.SSHClient() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) client.connect('10.0.2.15', username='root', password='toor') chan = client.get_transport().open_session() chan.send('Hey i am connected :) ') print chan.recv(1024) while True: command = chan.recv(1024) if 'grab' in command: grab,name,path = command.split('*') chan.send( sftp(path,name) ) elif 'getscreen' in command: chan.send ( screenshot() ) else: try: CMD = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True) chan.send(CMD) except Exception,e: chan.send(str(e))
Step 2: Preparing “setup.py” script to specify which options do we need in our output
from distutils.core import setup import py2exe , sys, os setup( options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}}, windows = [{'script': "Client.py"}], zipfile = None, )
{‘bundle_files’: 1} will bundle out script and its needed DLL libraries into single exe output as we don’t need zipfile (zipfile = None)
1 {‘bundle_files’: 1} will bundle out script and its needed DLL libraries into single exe output as we don’t need zipfile (zipfile = None)
Step 3: Firing up py2exe
C:\Users\Hussam\Desktop>python setup.py py2exe
Our output will be in dist folder named Client.exe
Verification

Now it’s show time. Uploading our Client.exe to virustotal online scanner, we got 0 detection.

SNORT Testing
Before running our standalone Backdoor into the victim machine, I have quickly crafted some packets initiated from the inside network (192.168.1.0/24) which triggers a couple SNORT signatures just to make sure that it’s working.
from scapy.all import * packet = IP(src='192.168.1.15' , dst='8.8.8.8') segment = UDP(dport=53) payload = '\x33\x33\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x07'+'counter'+'\x05'+'yadro'+'\ x02'+'ru'+'\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01' rocket = packet/segment/payload send(rocket) packet = IP(src='192.168.1.15' , dst='10.0.2.15') segment = ICMP() payload = 'Echo This' rocket = packet/segment/payload send(rocket)
The above code should trigger the below signatures from emerging-trojan.rules:
And fair enough, SNORT was able to address these packets and considered them malicious.
Note: I’ve cleared these logs before proceeding further.

Challenge Yourself
Python Paramiko features have not finished yet. SSH supports a fancy feature called ‘reversed port forwarding’ which can be used for pivoting. Assume there’s a potential target that can be reached by Win 7 but not from our BackTrack directly; we can make Win 7 to tunnel our traffic back and forth this new target. Try to add this functionality to our Client.py.
Hint: Take a look into rforward.py demo script and use OpenSSH as your server.

TL,DR: observe the nodes just below, that is the data each node in the link list contains. How do I iterate through the entire list to reach the last element (H), so I can add an element right after it?
Ok, this could get complicated so hopefully I can keep it understandable.
So I have 4 nodes doubly linked with two dummy nodes for head and tail:
head
node1 = {A}
node2 = {null, B}
node3 = {C, null, D, E}
node4 = {null, F, null, G, null, null, H, null}
tail
Ok, so since the list only contains 8 elements that are not null, its size is actually 8 correct? So now lets say I have an add method that has
add(E item) and inserts the item at the end of the list. So I can get to the last node with tail.previous(), but then how do I iterate to the end so I can add the item after the last item in the list (H). I guess I don't know how you only access one nodes data when that data is an array with empty spaces.
Here is the entire Node code:
Also, I can't just iterate through the whole thing because I am not supposed to. I am supposed to just find the right node and iterate through that only.
It's times like these I wonder why I bother going to lecture when we are given absolutely nothing that can help with homework, I have been trying to make sense of this for ages and just don't fully understand how to maneuver around a linked list containing nodes where each node contains an array.
Would LOVE any help I can get with this
--- Update ---
Sorry here is Node code if it helps understand anything:
/** * Node class that makes up a DoublingList. Feel free to add methods / * constructors / variables you might find useful in here. */ public class Node<E> { /** * The node that comes after this one in the list */ private Node<E> next; /** * The node that comes before this one in the list */ private Node<E> prev; /** * The data held within this node */ private E[] data; /** * Constructs a new unlinked node with the given data * @param data */ public Node(E[] data) { this(null, null, data); } /** * Constructs a new Node with the given information * @param next * @param prev * @param data */ public Node(Node<E> next, Node<E> prev, E[] data) { this.next = next; this.prev = prev; this.data = data; } /** * Returns the node that comes after this node * @return */ public Node<E> getNext() { return next; } /** * Sets this node's next node to the given value * @param next */ public void setNext(Node<E> next) { this.next = next; } /** * Returns the node that comes before this node * @return */ public Node<E> getPrev() { return prev; } /** * Sets this node's previous node to the given value * @param prev */ public void setPrev(Node<E> prev) { this.prev = prev; } /** * Returns the data held within this node * @return */ public E[] getData() { return data; } /** * Sets the data held within this node to the given value * @param data */ public void setData(E[] data) { this.data = data; } } | http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/whats-wrong-my-code/36278-nodes-contain-array-data-sets-linked-list-need-help-iterating.html | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | refinedweb | 519 | 70.77 |
The break statement is used in following two scenarios:
a) Use break statement to come out of the loop instantly. Whenever a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the control directly comes out of loop terminating it. It is used along with if statement, whenever used inside loop(see the example below) so that it occurs only for a particular condition.
b) It is used in switch case control structure after the case blocks. Generally all cases in switch case are followed by a break statement to avoid the subsequent cases (see the example below) execution. Whenever it is encountered in switch-case block, the control comes out of the switch-case body.
Syntax of break statement
break;
break statement flow diagram
Example – Use of break statement in a while loop
In the example below, we have a while loop running from 10 to 200 but since we have a break statement that gets encountered when the loop counter variable value reaches 12, the loop gets terminated and the control jumps to the next statement in program after the loop body.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ int num =10; while(num<=200) { cout<<"Value of num is: "<<num<<endl; if (num==12) { break; } num++; } cout<<"Hey, I'm out of the loop"; return 0; }
Output:
Value of num is: 10 Value of num is: 11 Value of num is: 12 Hey, I'm out of the loop
Example: break statement in for loop
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ int var; for (var =200; var>=10; var --) { cout<<"var: "<<var<<endl; if (var==197) { break; } } cout<<"Hey, I'm out of the loop"; return 0; }
Output:
var: 200 var: 199 var: 198 var: 197 Hey, I'm out of the loop
Example: break statement in Switch Case
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ int num=2; switch (num) { case 1: cout<<"Case 1 "<<endl; break; case 2: cout<<"Case 2 "<<endl; break; case 3: cout<<"Case 3 "<<endl; break; default: cout<<"Default "<<endl; } cout<<"Hey, I'm out of the switch case"; return 0; }
Output:
Case 2 Hey, I'm out of the switch case
In this example, we have break statement after each Case block, this is because if we don’t have it then the subsequent case block would also execute. The output of the same program without break would be:

I am trying to use LessThenOrEqualTo attribute, with decimal numbers. Our application uses coma as decimal separator, what I think is problem for client side validation.
For example i compare to number -80, when I enter 80 LessThenOrEqualTo dont show error which is correct, but when I enter 80,00 error appears. Is it possible to set somehow that I am using coma instead dot. It can be fixed this way
var isNumeric =
function (input) {
a = a.replace(",", ".");
return (input - 0) == input && input.length > 0;
};
...
else if (isNumeric(value1)) {
value1 = parseFloat(value1.replace(",", "."));
value2 = parseFloat(value2.replace(",", "."));
}

attach a major device number to a resource manager
#include <sys/fd.h> int qnx_device_attach( void );
The qnx_device_attach() function attaches a major device number to a resource manager. This number is used to form part of the st_dev member of a stat structure. The st_dev field is a 32-bit quantity in which the low order 10 bits form a local device minor number, the next 6 bits are the qnx_device_attach() major number and the top 16 bits are the node number.
This function is to be used by resource managers.
A device number (a small positive integer) on success. On error, a -1 is returned, and errno is set.
#include <stdio.h> #include <sys/fd.h> void main() { int devno; devno = qnx_device_attach(); printf( "Device number %d.\n", devno ); qnx_device_detach( devno ); }

"I've been having fun with a funky Java game: Bang! Howdy!. Yikes! I've also been having a lot of fun with JOGL. It's become pretty damn cool."
Hehe, cool indeed, that's the same stuff I occupied myself with during the winter holidays! Even Gosling likes the JOGL libraries. :) I myself am using the jMonkeyEngine (jME) which is based on Java OpenGL (JOGL), and which was used to create the free online game Bang!Howdy!. I gotta admit I never played it though, I only looked at the spiffy screenshots to determine whether that APIs were worth learning to create a game of my own. And yes, they are. :-)
If even I can set up a 3D landscape with (simple) physics it can't be that difficult. ;-) For me, this game is the biggest netbeans project I ever created: It uses open-source libraries, and I put my files into real packages, and I even *gasp* extended existing classes, all the bells and whistles.
Alright, it's only an empty landscape with a wandering and hopping cube on it, the game part of the game is still kinda missing, but hey, you gotta start small. Since I wanted to contribute something back, I filled in three missing pages in the jME user guide wiki describing how 3D transformations work. I might add some more items to the users guide as I move along. It's a wiki, so feel free to improve what I wrote if you can think of a more efficient solution. I also had a look at Packaging and Deploying Desktop Java Applications with NetBeans, but somebody already was kind enough to provide a very well-done set-up tutorial that tells you which libraries to add to set up jME for your netbeans project -- I went through it and added indentation to make it more legible. It also works in release 5.5 by the way.
One thing about jME is that it's very easy to go through the first 10 tutorials and set up what they call a SimplePhysicsGame. You get something up and running within a day. But at the same time they say, if you want to make a real game, you should set it up yourself and not use the very primitive SimplePhysicsGame class. But how?
My solution was to ctrl-click on SimplePhysicsGame (in the line that says
public class myGame extends SimplePhysicsGame) to see how SimplePhysicsGame was implemented. I copied over the whole implementation into my file to see how it was done. Of course it turns out that SimplePhysicsGame itself extends BaseSimpleGame, so some functions are still hidden in yet another class. I went trough SimplePhysicsGame's sources and looked for every call to
super.something() and replaced it by the actual code from BaseSimpleGame. That way I now have control over all parameters directly, and am no longer depending on hidden default values.
Now my project is an exact copy of SimplePhysicsGame, so I went back to the physics tutorials and used what I learned there to add collision detection and a terrain. Terrains can be created by a randomizer, but I preferred the variant where you provide a grayscale bitmap to define what should he a hill (white) and what a valley (black). It gives me more control over the landscape and I will know in advance where I can place houses or trees (I can still randomize which and how many houses and trees I'll add each time, and use various bitmaps to get a bit of variation in the game.)
As I find out more, I'll keep you updated about how my increeedible 3D game is faring. Or maybe some of you have tried jME themselves and have tips to share?Posted by seapegasus ( Jan 08 2007, 08:16:39 PM CET ) Permalink Comments [2]
Many have been asking for a NetBeans docs zip recently, and here it comes: Patrick has created the one zip file to rule them all!
Yup, 15 MB of NetBeans tutorials that you can browse and read offline. If you are looking for the file later, you will be able to find it in the Docs&Support section of netbeans.org under Additional References.
Unzip the contents into a folder and open the page index.html in your browser. You'll get the most popular tutorials for Basic Java Programming, Web Applications and Web Services, Java EE Applications, NetBeans Platform and Module Development, and Documentation for Add-On Packs. It also contains a section about GUI applications -- without the flash demos though. If you want the full version of the GUI tutorial including flash demos, then

(adds analyst's comment on valuation, Titan's financial results)
By Pearl Bantillo
SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Honam Petrochemical of South Korea announced on Friday its acquisition of a sizeable stake in major polyethylene producer Titan Chemicals, with a view of taking full control of the company for about $1.5bn (€1.2bn).
Honam - a unit of conglomerate Lotte Group - signed an agreement with the Chao Group of Taiwan and the Permodalan Nasional Bhd of Malaysia to purchase 73% of Titan, marking its first venture into Malaysia, Honam spokesperson SH Kim said.
Honam hopes to acquire the remaining 27% of Titan by end November, and delist the company from Bursa Malaysia, he added.
Titan's acquisition would allow Honam, whose current operations are focused on the Chinese market, to penetrate the southeast Asian market, said Kim.
Honam has not been able to export much volume to southeast Asia, where non-ASEAN products are subject to high import duties, market sources said.
Titan would make a perfect fit for Honam given the Malaysian company's strong standing in the region's polyolefins market, they added.
Honam's Kim, meanwhile, cited that Titan also enjoys an advantage in the cost of feedstocks in its operations in Malaysia and Indonesia, among the benefits to be derived from the acquisition.
In terms of valuation of the acquisition, an industry analyst said that Honam could have gotten a better price for the deal if it had waited later this year to make the move, citing a possible "severe petrochemicals downcycle".
“I am neutral on this [acquisition] deal because Titan, like Honam, has to buy in its naphtha feedstock so the integration is not good," the industry analyst said.
Titan reported on Friday that its second-quarter net profit declined 62% year on year to Malaysian ringgit (M$) 68.5m ($21.3m) due to poor margins even when sales jumped 23% to M$1.69bn.
“Lotte is very aggressive and wants to raise turnover to Korean won (W) 40,000bn ($33bn) by 2018. Turnover, if you include Titan, will only be W12,000bn this year and they have a lot further to go in their acquisitions strategy,” the industry analyst said.Honam operates a 750,000 tonne/year cracker in Yeosu and a 1m tonne/year cracker in Daesan.
Titan, on the other hand, runs a 285,000 tonne/year No 1 cracker and a 435,000 tonne/year No 2 cracker at ?xml:namespace>

OneWire (verified community library)
Summary
Dallas 1-Wire protocol with support for DS18B20, DS1820, DS1822
Example Build Testing
Device OS Version:
This table is generated from an automated build. Success only indicates that the code compiled successfully.
Library Read Me
This content is provided by the library maintainer and has not been validated or approved.
One Wire
The One Wire (1-Wire) protocol is used in the popular DS18B20 temperature sensor and other devices from Maxim (formerly Dallas).
This library implements the Dallas One Wire (1-wire) protocol on the Particle Photon, Electron, Core, P0/P1, Red Bear Duo and compatible devices.
Usage
If you are using a DS18B20, DS1820 or DS1822 temperature sensor, you can simply use the
DS18 object to read temperature.
Connect sensor:
- pin 1 (1-Wire ground) to ground.
- pin 2 (1-Wire signal) to
D0(or another pin) with a 2K-10K resistor to pin 3.
- pin 3 (1-Wire power) to 3V3 or VIN.
#include "DS18.h" DS18 sensor(D0); void loop() { if (sensor.read()) { Particle.publish("temperature", String(sensor.celsius()), PRIVATE); } }
If you use another chip or you want to customize the behavior you can copy-paste one of the examples and modify it.
documentation
DS18
DS18 sensor(pin); DS18 sensor(pin, parasitic);
Create an object to interact with one or more DS18x20 sensors connected to
pin (D0-D7, A0-A7, etc).
If
parasitic is
true, the power will be maintained at the end of a conversion so the sensor can parasitically draw power from the data pin. This mode is discourage since it can be harder to set up correctly. The value of the pull-up resistor is important in parasitic mode. See the references.
Save yourself some trouble, buy some DS18B20 (not DS18B20-PAR) and use the 3 pin powered mode.
read()
bool succes = sensor.read();
Search for the next temperature sensor on the bus and start a conversion. Return
true when the temperature is valid.
The default conversion time is 1 second.
Since it performs a 1-Wire search each time if you only have 1 sensor it's normal for this function to return
false every other time.
If you have more than 1 sensor, check
addr() to see which sensor was just read.
bool succes = sensor.read(addr);
Read a specific sensor, skiping the search. You could set up your code to
read() once in
setup(), save the
addr and in
loop always read this sensor only.
celsius()
fahrenheit()
float temperature = sensor.celsius(); float temperature = sensor.fahrenheit();
Return the temperature of the last read device. Only call after
read() returns
true.
Note: on the DS18B20, 85 C is returned when there's a wiring issue, possibly not enough current to convert the temperature in parasitic mode. Check the pull up value.
searchDone()
bool done = sensor.searchDone();
If
read() returns
false, check
searchDone(). If
true, this is not an error case. The next
read() will start from the first temperature sensor again.
crcError()
bool error = sensor.crcError();
Returns
true when bad data was received. ¯\(ツ)/¯
addr()
uint8_t addr[8]; sensor.addr(addr);
Copies the 1-Wire ROM data / address of the last read device in the buffer. All zeros if no device was found or search is done.
See the datasheet for your device to decode this.
type()
DS18Type type = sensor.type();
The type of the last read device. One of
WIRE_DS1820,
WIRE_DS18B20,
WIRE_DS1822,
WIRE_DS2438 or
WIRE_UNKNOWN if the device is not a temperature sensor, no device was found or the search is done.
raw()
int16_t value = sensor.raw();
Integer value of the temperature without scaling. Useful if you want to do integer math on the temperature. The scaling between the raw value and physical value depends on the sensor.
data()
uint8_t data[9]; sensor.data(data);
Copies the 1-Wire scratchpad RAM / data of the last read device in the buffer. All zeros if there was a CRC error in the address search, no device was fuond or search is done.
See the datasheet for your device to decode this.
setConversionTime
sensor.setConversionTime(milliseconds);
This library pauses for 1000 milliseconds while waiting for the temperature conversion to take place. Check the datasheet before reducing this value.
OneWire
OneWire, the 1-Wire protocol implementation used by the
DS18 object, is documented in its header file.

Data Collection With Raspberry Pi
Introduction: Data Collection With Raspberry Pi
The GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi brings it great extendability to all kind of sensors. Many projects utilize this ability to collect data on Pi and do interesting things with the data. This article gives an overview on how you can store data on Raspberry Pi, how to structure complex data models, and how to export your data for data analysis.
This instructable is written based on our experience building the VoteWithYourFeet project. In short, it's two doorways stand in the middle of the street, with a question and two options displayed on a sign above. The installation changes the question every 5 minutes, and counts the number of people that walk through each door. All related code can be found at VWYF github page.
This instructable also assumes the reader has basic understanding of computer programming, otherwise some of the content might be hard to follow.
Step 1: Writing Data to a CSV File
If all you need is storing small amount of structured data on SD card and do data analysis later, the easiest way is simply writing your data to a CSV file. Here is an example CSV file:
Year,Make,Model,Length 1997,Ford,E350,2.34 2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.3
The first row is usually the title of each column, and each of the rows following is one data point containing values separated by comma.
In essence, a CSV file is just a file containing plain text in this format. Here is an example of how to write data to CSV file using Python:
file = open('./data.csv', 'a') file.write("Year,Make,Model,Length") file.write("\n") # faking a list of data, in reality it may be reading data from a sensor my_data = [ ["1997", "Ford", "E350", "2.34"], ["2000", "Mercury", "Congar", "2.3"], ] for d in my_data: # note ','.join(["a", "b", "c"]) will give you string: "a,b,c" file.write(','.join(d)) file.write("\n")</p>
Alternatively, the Python standard library comes with a CSV module that made it even easier to read/write data in CSV format.
One advantage of using CSV format, is you can open a CSV file with any spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel for visualization and data analysis.
Step 2: SQLite - Modeling You Data With a Tiny Database
CSV file is easy to use for simple data logging. Although if you have slightly more complicated data models, or if you want to do searching and filtering on the data collected, it can be very cumbersome and very inefficient to program against a CSV file. For the VoteWithYourFeet project, we ended up choosing SQLite as our data storage on Raspberry Pi client: Administrator.
Below is an example of using python to set up a SQLite database and adding data to it:
import sqlite3 import datetime def init(): conn = sqlite3.connect('data.db') createTable(conn) conn.close() def create_table(conn): c = conn.cursor() c.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS answers ( id INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT, questionsId INTEGER, answer INTEGER, createdAt TIMESTAMP )''') conn.commit() def add_new_answer(questionId, answer): now = datetime.datetime.now().ctime() c = conn.cursor() c.execute('''INSERT INTO answers (questionId, answer, createdAt) VALUES (?, ?, ?)''', (questionId, answer, now)) conn.commit()
You can learn more about using SQLite with python here.
This approach works very well, but it's a lot of work writing SQL statements manually. If your application has multiple data tables or needs to do different kinds of updates to the table, you should consider using an ORM(Object Relational Mapper) library. It allows you to write more readable and manageable code comparing to writing raw SQL statements, especially for larger projects.
SQLAlchemy is one of the most popular ORM libraries for Python. Below is how you can use SQLAlchemy to do the same thing as the code snippet above:
import datetime from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, Integer, String, Boolean from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker # sql alchemy config engine = create_engine('sqlite:///data.db', echo=True) Base = declarative_base() Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine) class Answer(Base): __tablename__ = 'answers' id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) question_id = Column(String, index=True) answer = Column(String) created_at = Column(String) def add_new_answer(questionId, answer): now = datetime.datetime.now().ctime() session = Session() answerObj = Answer( question_id = question_id, answer=answer, created_at = now) session.add(answerObj) session.commit() Base.metadata.create_all(engine)</p>
To learn more about SQLAlchemy, take a look at their official documents.
Step 3: Play With the Data Collected
Running the python code in previous step should generate a '.db' file in the same directory of your Python script. If you are already familiar with SQL, you can always use the SQLite command line shell to load this file and play with the data.
Although there are much easier ways to interact with a SQLite database. For example, SQLite Browser is a GUI tool for viewing and editing SQLite databases without writing SQL commands. It also supports exporting SQLite data tables to CSV files.
Step 4: Syncing Data With Server
For VoteWithYourFeet project, we run a Python script on Raspberry Pi that collects data from sensors and uploads the results to a web server in real time. This allows us to show latest voting results live on our website and our twitter page.
Here is more details: we built a web server with NodeJS which provides HTTP endpoint for logging data. On the client side, Raspberry Pi is connected to a 3G wifi router while the Python script running in the background can send new data collected to our web server over HTTP request. You may checkout our source code as a reference implementation.
If you are new to server side programming, there are a few other options as well:
- Some web frameworks such as Rub on Rails, allow you to quickly set up REST API end points with only a few lines of code.
- There are many Database-as-a-Service options from AWS, Azure, MongoDB etc, that allow your application to post data to a remote database directly, without you running your own server.
Step 5:
Over the 3 days on Market St. San Francisco, this installation collected 10811 votes for 83 different questions! After a quick dive into the data we've collected, here is what we found.
Hope you find this article helpful, leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions.

The goto statement in c++
We have gone through the while loop, for loop and do-while loop. The another way to do loop in c++ is through using the goto statement. The goto statement was used in olden days but it is not suitable for creating modern applications. But since c++ supports it, you should have knowledge about it, as you may encounter a c++ source code containing goto statements, in that case you will know what it is and how it works.
How the goto statement works?
It consist of label and statements that comes under that label. A label is named by you and it is followed by a colon sign (:). During execution of program, when goto is encountered, it jumps to the statements that comes under the label specified by goto statement. To get a clear idea, analyze the below program example.
/* A c++ program example that uses goto statement to display number from 0 to 9 */
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int i=0;
loop:
cout << i << endl;
i++;
if (i<10)
goto loop;
return 0;
}
Why goto should not be used?
The use of goto should be avoided to make the program more readable and reliable. The goto statement can cause the program execution to jump to any location in source code and in any direction backward or forward. This makes the program hard to read and understand and also makes it difficult to find bugs.
Since now we have more tightly controlled and sophisticated loops like while loop, for loop and do-while loop, the use of obsolete statement like goto is not at all recommended in creating loops.

Go through the books/blogs related programming basics. Do your basics well. Practice as much as you can. Don't just read the code, manually type it, compile it and run it and try to understand code by looking at the code.
Don't make haste, while you learn basics. Take your time, and practice well.
When i say do your basics well, i mean do "Control Statement" well. Control statement include : loops (for, while, do-while), if-else, switch-case, break, continue.
These are fundamentals of programming. And you will find these in all programming languages, with minor syntax differences. So if you understand these concept in one, you can get them in all.
i m watting for ur reply?
Replied! :D
The Goto Statement is not advised in modern programming languages. But, It is a good article explaining the subject

Is there a way to check if some python code is run from streamlit, in contrast to e.g. IPython or Jupyter Notebook?
I’m looking for a functionality similar to this, which returns True if run inside a Jupyter Notebook:
def isnotebook(): try: shell = get_ipython().__class__.__name__ if shell == 'ZMQInteractiveShell': return True # Jupyter notebook or qtconsole elif shell == 'TerminalInteractiveShell': return False # Terminal running IPython else: return False # Other type (?) except NameError: return False # Probably standard Python interpreter
The background is that I want to have some python code that can be run as a Jupyter Notebook or as a streamlit app. Because I produce a figure with matplotlib, I need to either call plt.show() or st.pyplot(). The checking I ask for should make the decision where to “send” the figure to. | https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/how-to-check-if-code-is-run-inside-streamlit-and-not-e-g-ipython/23439 | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | refinedweb | 134 | 63.7 |
This article, provides you step by step procedure to create program to print hello world in C# console application using Visual Studio and it also explains the code line by line, to make it understandable.
Step 1: Open your Visual Studio, Navigate to "File"-> "New"-> "Project"-> Select "Windows Classic Desktop" from left pane and Select "Console App (.NET Framework)" from right pane -> Name it "Hello World" and click "Ok"
Once the project is created you will a output like below
Step 2: Now, we will write code inside
Main method to print "hello World".
In C#, the command to print anything in text is placed inside "
Console.WriteLine("Your Text here")", so basically it will be "
Console.WriteLine("hello World")", it should be placed inside "
Main" method so complete code will be as below
using System; namespace HelloWorld { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); Console.ReadKey(); } } }
I have removed few lines of code which was starting from "
using", basically those were namespaces which were automatically imported, but we don't need them in this program so to make code more clear, I removed them.
I have a added a line "
Console.Readkey()", it will basically keep our Console Application running, and save it from automatically closing it, until we press any key on keybpard.
Now, let'c click "Ctrl + F5" to compile,build and run project in Visual Studio.
You will see output as below
Let's understand each line of code.
using System; - This line of code, is basically adding a namespace "System", in this program. Namespace is group of class, to make development easier, we create namespace in C#.
System is the namespace which is provided by .Net Framework.
namespace helloworld - This project has namespace Helloworld.
class program - we are declaring class named as "program". As C# language is OOP (Object oriented programming) based, classes are used to define methods/variables etc, where
class is keyword in C#
static void Main(string[] args) - Let's divide this line code and understand it
staticis a keyword, which is used to define a method that can be used without creating class (Program) object.
voidis a return type of method, as this method will not return anything,
voidis used.
Main()method is the entry point of our console application.
string[] argsdefines a parameter which can be used in the method, args is parameter name, while string[] means it is an array of string
Inside braces we have written code to print "Hello World"
Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); Console.ReadKey();
Console.WriteLine("Hello World") print the "hello World" in console application, while
Console is a class inside
System (namespace used) and
WriteLine is a method inside Console class and "Hello World" is string argument passed to this method
Console.ReadKey() as another method inside
Console Class of
System namespace, which is used to read input key from keyboard.
Why do we use semicolon at the end of code in line 9-10 of above screenshot?
It is because in C# we're using semicolon to tell the compiler the statement is over.
A closing curly brace means the end of a code block so semicolon is not needed behind curly brace.

Newbie: PrE 10 Clips will not play (preview) in MonitorKateSchw Dec 6, 2012 12:03 PM
I am, I guess, a newbie, as I have not used Premiere at all since v.6 and am mostly familiar with iMovie, Win Movie Maker, and Corel Video Pro.
I am using PrE10 on Windows 7 computer with 3 GB RAM and three recently defragged or formatted drives with at least 200GB free space.
I am using clips brought into Organizer as MOV files, and the project settings were appropriately adjusted to DV Standard. The clips play fine in Organizer.
In PrE, clicking on the Play button does not "play" the clip, does not show to be working (spinning circle) and doesn't flip back to the Pause button, which can be clicked to return (that is, nothing appears to be frozen).
Dobuble-clicking on the media thumbnail will launch the preview window, play can be clicked, but nothing happens.
I am SURE I am missing a step. Can anyone tell me what that step might be?

2nd,: Newbie: PrE 10 Clips will not play (preview) in MonitorKateSchw Dec 7, 2012 9:39 AM (in response to John T Smith)
Hi, there!
Thanks for the links and the push in the right direction. I had QT Pro 7.7.2 installed and updated it to 7.7.3, after which the previews worked in both apps. It was odd that the previews worked in the Organizer and not in PrE, but, hey --
Several of the clips I am working with are broken (I get a codec error). I created a hundred or so clips from several VERY large AVI files, and made errors on these few. I extracted these smaller clips using QTPro (it played nice with both the AVIs and MOV files and that is what I had at the time). I was thinking I would just go back and redo these few that way, but would it make more sense to use PrE directly to convert from AVI to MOV?
Thanks again for your help.
Kate
3. Re: Newbie: PrE 10 Clips will not play (preview) in MonitorSteve Grisetti Dec 7, 2012 10:55 AM (in response to KateSchw)
It depends on where these AVIs came from and what codec they're using.
Video captured from a miniDV camcorder, whether it's DV-AVI or DV-MOV, works interchangeably in Premiere Elements.
AVIs from, say, still cameras can be problems though. And converting them with Quicktime Pro would be a good idea.
4. Re: Newbie: PrE 10 Clips will not play (preview) in MonitorKateSchw Dec 30, 2012 11:09 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)
Just to report back. Reinstalling QTPro fixed the preview problem, and going back to the original AVI (and a few original MOV) files and using PrE to break up into smaller AVI clips solved quality problems as well. Thanks, John and Steve!
5. Re: Newbie: PrE 10 Clips will not play (preview) in Monitorthe_wine_snob Jan 1, 2013 8:19 AM (in response to KateSchw)
It was odd that the previews worked in the Organizer and not in PrE
There is a major difference between playback in the Organizer (or Source Monitor), and playback from the Timeline. In Organizer, one is using a simple video player, to play the file from the system's HDD, where with playback from the Timeline, they are playing back the files, prepared for editing, and those two operations are very, very different. John T. Smith goes into some of those differences in this article:.
To the user, the differences are not seen - things appear to be the same, but "under the hood," they are very different.
Glad that you found the solution, and are up and editing.
Good luck,

This article was to be published in Healthy Code Magazine, India
In this article let us look at how we can ensure secure APIs and test and develop the frontend and backend components easily and independently. The example we will choose is of a simple web-application, lets say a ToDo management application (since the world needs more of these), but you can apply the principles to any application with separate frontend and backend components.
Some code
As you start frontend code development you will be hit with sheer amount of choice, there a dozen build managers for JavaScript, more than a few dozen frameworks and then another dozen transpilers (CoffeeScript, TypeScript, JSX etc.). Since it is our sincere attempt to not go crazy we will stick with the simple choices. Backbone.js () as our main framework, Broccoli () as our build manager and Babel () as our transpiler since ES6 will be a standard anyway one soon.
The broccoli config file (Brocfile.js) -
/* Brocfile.js */ // Import some Broccoli plugins var compileSass = require('broccoli-sass'); var babelTranspiler = require("broccoli-babel-transpiler"); var mergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees'); // Specify the Sass and ES6 directories var sassDir = 'app/scss'; var es6Dir = 'app/es6'; // Tell Broccoli how we want the assets to be compiled var styles = compileSass([sassDir], 'app.scss', 'app.css'); var scripts = babelTranspiler(es6Dir, {filterExtensions:['es6']}); // Merge the compiled styles and scripts into one output directory. module.exports = mergeTrees([styles, scripts]);
Here we simply transpile our ES6 and SASS files in the right directory. A simplified index.html may look like -
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Hello</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/app.css"> </head> <body> <script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script> <script src="bower_components/lodash/lodash.js"></script> <script src="bower_components/backbone/backbone.js"></script> <script src="bower_components/handlebars/handlebars.js"></script> <script src="bower_components/system.js/dist/system.js"></script> <script> //need to copy es6-module-loader.js and babel's browser.js in system.js dist System.transpiler = 'babel'; System.import('dist/app'); </script> <div class="app"> <a href="#/users/new">Register User</a> </div> </body> </html>
For our demo we are mainly concerned with registering / creating a user, for which the Backbone view and model may look like -
//new_user_view.es6 import newUserTemplate from "../templates/new_user"; import UserModel from "../models/user_model"; var NewUserView = Backbone.View.extend({ el: ".app", events: { "submit #new-user": "createUser" }, initialize: function() { this.template = Handlebars.compile(newUserTemplate); }, render: function() { $(this.el).html(this.template()); }, createUser: function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var email = $($(e.currentTarget).find(':input')[0]).val(); var password = $($(e.currentTarget).find(':input')[1]).val(); var password_confirmation = $($(e.currentTarget).find(':input')[2]).val(); var user = new UserModel({email: email, password: password, password_confirmation: password_confirmation}); user.save(); } }); export { NewUserView as default }; //user_model.es6 var UserModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ urlRoot: "" }); export { UserModel as default };
If you have Ruby installed, we can run the code above with just one line -
ruby -run -ehttpd . -p9000
If do do not understand the Backbone code above, it is no problem. Consider a simple HTML + JavaScript static website you have created, which talks to a backend that serves JSON.
CORS
Since the static HTML + JS code is running on port 9000, you backend server will most likely run on a different port (let’s say 3000 or 8080). Without going into details of how the backend code looks like, if we try and save / register a user through code above, we will get an error message like -
XMLHttpRequest cannot load. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin '' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 404.
This is what we call a Same Origin Policy error, whereby the browser does not allow us to do AJAX requests from a different domain. Since in our case the client side code runs on a different domain than the server side the browser says “NOT ALLOWED”! This makes sense since you usually do not want just anyone to be able to do a HTTP POST on your server (for example).
But in our case this is a hindrance which is easily solvable by CORS. CORS stands for Cross Origin Resource Sharing and is essentially the standard for allowing HTTP calls between different domains. This is what we need to setup to allow our frontend code to call our backend.
Essentially, CORS does a HTTP OPTIONS request on the server and looks for the header - “Access-Control-Allow-Origin”. If the header has a value that allows other requests to happen from different domains, the browser does the actual POST / GET / DELETE request. So essentially it is like the browser asking the server - “Hey, do you allow a POST from the domain?” and based on the server’s response the browser does or does not make the actual request.
To continue our example we will develop a simple Rails backend for our ToDo application. If you are not aware of Rails, do not worry you can apply the same principles for Java, Node.js or Python based servers.
Assuming we have a “backend” end-point in Rails that can consume a POST request to /users we need to allow access to it from other domains. With Rails it is simply a matter of adding a library (or gem) called “rack-cors” (). The configuration of interest is -
config.middleware.insert_before 0, "Rack::Cors" do allow do origins '*' resource '*', headers: :any, methods: :any end end
This is the Rails way of saying that allow any kind of HTTP request from any domain / origin. Now if we try and save a user from our frontend code, we see two requests from the browser one for an OPTIONS and then the actual POST.
The OPTIONS call has a response with the following headers -
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS Access-Control-Allow-Origin:
This tells the browser that it is allowed to send POST requests from the origin, and our User is subsequently created with the POST request.
JWT
So now we can make Cross Origin requests but what about security? To start with in production we may know the domains where our frontend is hosted beforehand, maybe it is on the same server / domain as the backend or on a CDN, in either case we can only allow requests from this known domain in our CORS configuration.
The second level of security for our API will come through the form of tokens. In a normal web application we use sessions to add state to our HTTP requests or to identify users. For a pure JSON API, tokens do a similar job.
JSON Web Tokens () act as a standard for handling user identification and authentication for API based applications in a secure manner. Essentially, JSON Web Tokens (or JWT) allow us to transport JSON data securely. The JSON data is Base64 encoded and then encrypted using a secret. This data can then be added to the HTTP header to authenticate the request / user.
To demonstrate JWTs we will build upon our ToDo application example. We now want our user to have access to his/her list of ToDo items, of course we also do not want to allow the user to access anyone else’s data. Let’s see how we can use JWT to ensure this.
When the user first logs in, we will authenticate the user and return a token, the browser can then store this token in localstorage and append to the HTTP headers for every request thereafter.
In Rails code, this may look like -
#in users_controller.rb def login user = User.find_by(email: params[:email]) .try(:authenticate, params[:password]) if user token = JsonWebToken.encode(user_id: user.id) render json: {token: token}, status: 200 else render :nothing => true, status: 401 end end #json_web_token.rb require 'jwt' class JsonWebToken def self.encode(payload, expiration = 4.hours.from_now) payload = payload.dup payload['exp'] = expiration.to_i JWT.encode(payload, Rails.application.config.json_web_token_secret) end def self.decode(token) JWT.decode(token, Rails.application.config.json_web_token_secret).first end end
The gem we are using here is “jwt”, almost all popular languages have a JWT implementation (the mileage may vary of course). The token in our case also contains some metadata like the time in which it will expire. In the code above, using the ‘jwt’ library and some code we add our logged in user's id to the token’s payload (of course encrypted with a secret token).
Now, when subsequent requests come in, we can inspect the header, decode the token and identify the user. The CURL request for this may look like -
curl -X GET -H "x-access-token: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyLCJleHAiOjE0MzM3MjA0NjR9.PbXLtPNlSlj2YkRVcLy6__NdjsLgI80FPPlP1utjV98" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
On the Rails side we use a request filter to authenticate the requests -
def check_authentication render :nothing => true, status: 401 and return unless request.headers["x-access-token"] decoded = JsonWebToken.decode request.headers["x-access-token"] @user = User.find_by!(id: decoded["user_id"]) rescue => e render :nothing => true, status: 401 and return end
Once this filter is added, it will ensure we authenticate / identify the user for the concerned requests and do not allow unauthenticated requests to pass through.
Another advantage of JWT is that it makes the backend easy to scale, just keep adding servers behind a load balancer and you are done. This is possible since the HTTP requests are truly stateless and state is being added functionally using a header in the request.
In production of course you can also setup CORS via a proxy like NGINX or HAPROXY and remember to keep your JWT secret a real secret because the encryption / decryption logic depends on it. Usually I recommend this by setting up environment variables and not have the secret in any files which can be hacked / copied.
That's it, in this short article we have seen how we can setup simple, scalable frontend and backend components for an application, how we can allow them to communicate via CORS and finally how we can add authentication / security to the API using JWT.

A simple problem and a solution
Consider this C++ code:
#include <iostream> template <typename T> struct Base { void f() { std::cerr << "Base<T>::f\n"; } }; template <typename T> struct Derived : Base<T> { void g() { std::cerr << "Derived<T>::g\n "; f(); } };
The intention of Derived<T>::g is to call Base<T>::f, but what the compiler does instead is produce this error:
: In member function ‘void Derived<T>::g()’: :18:10: error: there are no arguments to ‘f’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘f’ must be available :18:10: note: (if you use ‘-fpermissive’, G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
First, let's see how to fix this. It's easy. All you have to do is to make the compiler understand that the call f depends on the template parameter T. A couple of ways to do this are replacing f() with Base<T>::f(), or with this->f() (since this is implicitly dependent on T). For example:
#include <iostream> template <typename T> struct Base { void f() { std::cerr << "Base<T>::f\n"; } }; template <typename T> struct Derived : Base<T> { void g() { std::cerr << "Derived<T>::g\n "; this->f(); } }; int main() { Derived<float> df; df.g(); Derived<int> di; di.g(); return 0; }
main instantiates two Derived objects, parametrized for different types, for reasons that will soon become apparent. This code compiles without errors and prints:
Derived<T>::g Base<T>::f Derived<T>::g Base<T>::f
Problem fixed. Now, let's understand what's going on. Why does the compiler need an explicit specification for which f to call? Can't it figure out on its own that we want it to call Base<T>::f? It turns out it can't, because this isn't correct in the general case. Suppose that a specialization of the Base class is later created for int, and it also defines f:
template <> struct Base<int> { void f() { std::cerr << "Base<int>::f\n"; } };
With this specialization in place, the main from the sample above would actually print:
Derived<T>::g Base<T>::f Derived<T>::g Base<int>::f
This is the correct behavior. The Base template has been specialized for int, so it should be used for inheritance when Derived<int> is required. But how does the compiler manage to figure it out? After all, Base<int> was defined after Derived!
Two-phase name lookup
To make this work, the C++ standard defines a "two-phase name lookup" rule for names in templates. Names inside templates are divided to two types:
- Dependent - names that depend on the template parameters but aren't declared within the template.
- Non-dependent - names that don't depend on the template parameters, plus the name of the template itself and names declared within it.
When the compiler tries to resolve some name in the code, it first decides whether the name is dependent or not, and the resolution process stems from this distinction. While non-dependent names are resolved "normally" - when the template is defined, the resolution for dependent names happens at the point of the template's instantiation. This is what ensures that a specialization can be noticed correctly in the example above.
Now, back to our original problem. Why doesn't the compiler look f up in the base class? First, notice that in the call to f() in the first code snippet, f is a non-dependent name. So it must be resolved at the point of the template's definition. At that point, the compiler still doesn't know what Base<T>::f is, because it can be specialized later. So it doesn't look names up in the base class, but only in the enclosing scope. Since there's no f in the enclosing scope, the compiler complains.
On the other hand, when we explicitly make the lookup of f dependent by calling it through this->, the lookup rule changes. Now f is resolved at the point of the template's instantiation, where the compiler has full understanding of the base class and can resolve the name correctly.
Disambiguating dependent type names
I've mentioned above that to fix the problem and make the lookup of f dependent, we can either say this->f() or Base<T>::f(). While this works for identifiers like member names, it doesn't work with types. Consider this code snippet:
#include <iostream> template <typename T> struct Base { typedef int MyType; }; template <typename T> struct Derived : Base<T> { void g() { // A. error: ‘MyType’ was not declared in this scope // MyType k = 2; // B. error: need ‘typename’ before ‘Base<T>::MyType’ because // ‘Base<T>’ is a dependent scope // Base<T>::MyType k = 2; // C. works! typename Base<T>::MyType k = 2; std::cerr << "Derived<T>::g --> " << k << "\n"; } }; int main() { Derived<float> df; df.g(); return 0; }
Three attempts are shown to declare a local variable k of type MyType. The first two are commented out because they result in compile errors. (A) should be obvious by now - since MyType is non-dependent, it can't be found in the base class - same problem as before.
But why doesn't (B) work? Well, because Base<T> can be specialized, so the compiler can't be sure whether MyType is a type or not. A specialization can easily declare a method called MyType instead of it being a type. And neither can the compiler delay this decision until the instantiation point, because whether MyType is a type or not affects how the rest of the definition is parsed. So we must tell the compiler explicitly, at the point of definition, whether MyType is a type or not. It turns out that the default is "not a type", and we must precede the name with typename to tell the compiler it is a type. This is stated in the C++ standard, section 14.6:
A name used in a template declaration or definition and that is dependent on a template-parameter is assumed not to name a type unless the applicable name lookup finds a type name or the name is qualified by the keyword typename.
Disambiguating dependent template names
While we're at it, the following is yet another example of explicit disambiguation that is sometimes required to guide the compiler when templates and specializations are involved:
struct Foo { template<typename U> static void foo_method() { } }; template<typename T> void func(T* p) { // A. error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token // T::foo_method<T>(); // B. works! T::template foo_method<T>(); }
The first attempt to call T::foo_method fails - the compiler can't parse the code. As explained before, when a dependent name is encountered, it is assumed to be some sort of identifier (such as a function or variable name). Previously we've seen how to use the typename keyword to explicitly tell the compiler that it deals with a type.
So in declaration (A) above can't be parsed, because the compiler assumes foo_method is just a member function and interprets the < and > symbols as comparison operators. But foo_method is a template, so we have to notify the compiler about it. As declaration (B) demonstrates, this can be done by using the keyword template.

Kafka Streams: Catching Data in the Act (Part 1)
Kafka Streams: Catching Data in the Act (Part 1)
Data streams need to be considered in conjunction with data from the other sensors in order to compute a health metric for the process. We'll use Kafka to do just that.

I have been playing with Kafka on and off lately. It is an excellent addition to the ecosystem of big data tools where scale with reliability is imperative. I find it intuitive and conceptually simple (according to the KISS principle) and the focus is squarely on reliability at scale. Unlike the traditional messaging systems that attempt to do many things, Kafka offloads some tasks to the users, where they rightly belong anyway — like consuming messages. Kafka employs the dumb-broker-smart-consumer paradigm, whereas the traditional systems do the opposite. In Kafka, the users get full control over the consumption of messages (like re-processing older messages if they want to, for example) and Kafka gets to focus on message throughput, persistence, parallelism, etc. — it is a win-win. More importantly, it enables Kafka to natively enable complex stream processing capabilities, so Kafka now describes itself as a "distributed streaming platform" rather than a messaging pub-sub system.
The purpose of this post is illustration. We pick a simple, made-up (but intuitive) set of data streams generated by different sensors. Each stream of data on its own is inconclusive in assessing the overall health of the process. They need to be looked at in the aggregate, i.e. in conjunction with data from the other sensors in order to compute a health metric for the process. And we will use Kafka Streams to do just that.
Stream Processing
Stream processing allows for catching the data in the act, so to speak. This is as opposed to waiting to ingest that data on a back-end platform and then running health queries to check if all went well. If we do find in that case that it did not go well — too bad, it already happened. The best one can do is learn from it and update the processes so the situation doesn't repeat. When this is unacceptable, we need the means to analyze the data as it flows so we can either take a remedial action or at least alert — in real-time. Having this ability to generate preliminary alerts based on incoming data "as it happens" can be useful before a deep dive later on as needed. Kafka, as the data bus, has been coupled with tools such as Spark for stream processing. But this adds extra layers and clusters to the platform. If one is not already heavily invested in these other tools for stream processing, Kafka Streams would be a natural choice, as the data is already being fielded by Kafka, anyway. I do see people converting their apps to use Kafka Streams on that simple account.
A data stream is an unbounded, ever-increasing set of events, and as such, these data streams are routinely obtained in daily life. In many cases, there is a need for real-time analysis across multiple streams of data for critical decision-making. For example:
- Health monitors. Often, there are multiple monitors measuring different aspects, and they need to be considered together, rather than each on their own.
- Reaction chambers. Monitoring a reaction chamber for temperature, pressure, and concentrations of hazardous gases/liquids is essential for safe operation. Each feature has its own sensor throwing off a stream of data. As the physicochemical processes are coupled, these data streams should be evaluated together to diagnose unsafe conditions.
- Leak detection. The upstream flow gets split across multiple downstream pipes in a dynamic fashion as the valves are operated. The total downstream flow should conserve, however, or else there is a leak.
- Earthquake sensors. The shear forces during an earthquake distort structures, and the resulting displacement at critical junctions can lead to a complete collapse. If these junctions have been fitted with sensors capable of sending (and still functional during and after the shaking event!) their positional data, engineers can analyze them together to evaluate the overall strain being built up in the structure. We will look at a very simple use case of this in this post.
Figure 1: A simulated view of deformation as A, B, and C experience somewhat periodic movements. f is a random amplitude designed to create noise around the base signal. Cumulative metrics could be better indicators of stress than snapshot metrics.
Figure 1 shows three metal plates riveted at their ends forming an equilateral triangle with unit sides (area 0.433 and perimeter 3.0) on a plane. The sensors at A, B, and C continuously throw off positional data — the X and Y coordinates in a common reference frame. A pseudo-periodic movement with randomized amplitude f is simulated for the three vertices. Movement at the junctions causes stresses in the plates and in the supporting structure. Overall stress metrics i - 1 with predictive ability can be computed and used for alerting. With the index i and referring to successive measurements, we have:
1:
2:
Process Topology
Converting the above scenario to a topology of data streams & processors is straightforward as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: As many source topic partitions as the number of sensors/vertices. Each processor uses a local store to recover state in case of failure. The triangle processor uses a time-binned event store to detect simultaneity.
The core elements of the topology are as follows.
- Topics. There are two topics: rawVertex and smoothedVertex. The topic rawVertex has three partitions and smoothedVertex has one partition.
- Source producers. There are three producers — A, B, and C — each generating positional data to a distinct partition of the topic rawVertex. Hence, there are as many partitions for the rawVertex topic as the number of vertices being followed — here, equal to 3. The value of the message is the measurement object consisting of the current coordinates, the timestamp, a count number etc.
- Vertex processor. A stream task attached to a partition of a rawVertex topic sees all the positional data for that vertex and in the same order as it has been produced, ignoring data loss and data delay issues prior to the data making it to the partition. These issues are mitigated in the Kafka implementation of the producer by having no more than one in-flight record at a time and no retries. That is nice because the vertex processor can confidently compute time averages locally as it receives the measurements. The sensors are noisy, so the raw data stream is time-averaged over short periods (short enough to not mask any trends, however), producing messages for the smoothedVertex topic.
- Vertex state store. The vertex processor as mentioned above will use a local persistent key-value store. It will have the most recent smoothed measurement for that vertex, along with any locally computable metrics such as the total displacement of the vertex. If the stream thread crashes and is restarted, it will get the most current state for this vertex from this local store.
- Triangle processor. This is where the merged data streams from the individual vertex processors are used to identify a triangle as a function of time. We compute the various global stress metrics indicated in Figure 1 and make the call on whether to alert.
- Triangle window store. For a triangle to be identified, we need the coordinates of A, B, and C at the same time. The concept of exact simultaneity is problematic when working across streams. Here, we employ Kafka's tumbling windows that bin the smoothedVertex data for A, B, and C into time windows. All measurements that were made (as per the time in the smoothedVertex data) during a window time-period fall into that bin. The size of this time window should be small enough that we can take it as an instant in time (perhaps the center of the window) but big enough that at least few items of smoothedVertex data from each of the vertex processors for A, B, and C can land in that bin. See the schematic below (the diagram 2A is essentially a reproduction of this image put up by good folks at Confluent!)
Figure 3: The window state store. (A) Flowing data is binned into time windows. The measurement time of a data point determines which bin it ends up in. This means that the points in a bin can be used to approximately identify the triangle at a point in time (perhaps the midpoint of the bin). (B) A window starts out empty and accumulates data as measurements flow in from the smoothedVertex topic. It reaches a maximum and stays there until the window is dropped after the retention time is reached. The retention time is chosen so that we can detect the plateauing of the data count in the bin and also have enough time to compute stress metrics for the triangle.
- Triangle state store. The triangle processor needs a persistent state store, as well, to account for failure and restart. When a window plateaus, we compute the triangle state (current vertex locations, the lengths of the sides, perimeter, area, and other stress metrics).
- Long-term storage. Periodically, the triangle processor dumps the state store data to long-term storage like Elasticsearch for deeper analytics.
Data Model: Avro Schemas
The disk is the life-blood of Kafka. Reading from and writing to disk is its bread and butter. Data is written to disk and pulled from disk as it moves on down from the source topics via intermediate topics to its long-term storage. So, the serialization of our raw and smoothed vertex objects as they are written to disk and their deserialization as they are read back into the code is important. Thankfully, we have the Avro schemas to define the data structures in and Kafka (via Confluent), providing built-in support for the serialization and deserialization of Avro objects.
RawVertex.avsc
The raw measurement from the sensor at a vertex is the value of the topic rawVertex. The key for the topic is the name of the sensor (A or B or C). X and Y are the instantaneous values for the vertex location.
{ "namespace": "com.xplordat.rtmonitoring.avro", "type": "record", "name": "RawVertex", "fields": [ { "name": "sensor", "type": "string" }, { "name": "timeInstant", "type": "long" }, { "name": "X", "type": "double" }, { "name": "Y", "type": "double" } ] }
SmoothedVertex.avsc
The vertex processor smooths the incoming measurements from the rawVertex topic over short periods of time. It saves the latest one to its local store and also pushes it onto the smoothedVertex topic. X and Y in these records are the time-averaged coordinates of this vertex/sensor over the period timeStart - timeEnd. The displacement distance of the vertex due to each successive measurement is accumulated in cumulativeDisplacementForThisSensor. If the vertex processor were to crash and be restarted, it has enough information in its local store to continue on from where it left off.
{ "namespace": "com.xplordat.rtmonitoring.avro", "type": "record", "name" : "SmoothedVertex", "fields": [ { "name": "sensor", "type": "string" }, { "name": "timeStart", "type": "long" }, { "name": "timeCenter", "type": "long" }, { "name": "timeEnd", "type": "long" }, { "name": "X", "type": "double" }, { "name": "Y", "type": "double" }, { "name": "numberOfSamplesIntheAverage", "type": "long" }, { "name": "cumulativeDisplacementForThisSensor", "type": "double" }, { "name": "totalNumberOfRawMeasurements", "type": "long" }, { "name": "pushCount", "type": "long" } ] }
Triangle.avsc
The triangle processor is where the rubber meets the road. The evolution of the triangle and the stress metrics are computed and saved to a local store and purged to long-term storage periodically. The model for the triangle will have the usual suspects like the vertex locations, sides, area, etc. and the cumulative displacement of vertices over the entire time. On what basis to alert on is not the focus here: we can make it up.
{ "namespace": "com.xplordat.rtmonitoring.avro", "type": "record", "name": "Triangle", "fields" : [ { "name": "timeStart", "type": "long" }, { "name": "timeInstant", "type": "long" }, { "name": "timeEnd", "type": "long" }, { "name": "numberOfAMeasurements", "type": "int" }, { "name": "numberOfBMeasurements", "type": "int" }, { "name": "numberOfCMeasurements", "type": "int" }, { "name": "xA", "type": "double" }, { "name": "yA", "type": "double" }, { "name": "xB", "type": "double" }, { "name": "yB", "type": "double" }, { "name": "xC", "type": "double" }, { "name": "yC", "type": "double" }, { "name": "AB", "type": "double" }, { "name": "BC", "type": "double" }, { "name": "AC", "type": "double" }, { "name": "perimeter", "type": "double" }, { "name": "area", "type": "double" }, { "name": "totalDisplacement", "type": "double" } ] }
Conclusion
The core pieces of the problem and the solution approach have been laid out here. What is left is the implementation and a walk-thru of code snippets as needed to make the points. As this post is already getting a bit long, we will take it up in the next installment.
