code

Do you want more control over which mails end up in your inbox? Then every time you give out your email address at a site, use an alias specific for that url. It helps you to track where (and by whom) mail addresses are being used, and lets you filter or block unnecessary mails. Here’s how:
How to generate a limitless number of email aliases
There are two common ways to do this:
- If you have your own domain: use a catchall – this a mailbox that will “catch all” of the email addressed to @yourdomain.com, so any email address at the domain that doesn’t belong to another mailbox will end up in this default mailbox. Create email addresses like email@example.com.
- Use the “+” trick in Gmail: Gmail.com has the weird feature that firstname.lastname@example.org ends up at email@example.com (the plus is really a “+”). Create email addresses like firstname.lastname@example.org.
Greasemonkey userscripts to generate url-specific aliases with one keystroke
- Email Address Generator for your domain: inserts an email address like “email@example.com” when your press “F9”. You’re prompted for your own domain name the first time you use the script. Install the script.
- Email Address Generator for Gmail: inserts an email address like “firstname.lastname@example.org” when your press “F9”. You’re prompted for your Gmail account name (NOT your password ;-) !) the first time you use the script. Install the script.
So what will it bring you?
Some examples of how this habit has helped me so far:
- Filter newsletters, notifications, updates (BACN) into folders or labels (or the trash bin) even if sender and subject change
- Find out from which marketing stunt some publisher got your mail address
- See which startup had its database end up somewhere it doesn’t belong
- Be able to prove that a trainee copied the customer database to start his own web shop (happened to a Belgian non-profit organisation)
- Block comment notifications when a blog post you commented at succumbs to comment spam (sometimes blog posts do not offer comment feeds but just email notification – I even go as far as making an email alias per posting then, e.g. by inserting a date: email@example.com)
- Protect my mailbox: I was once stupid enough to include a contact email address in a php script, that got included in the popular Joomla software at some point in time, and got downloaded to hundreds of (virus-infected) computers… In the end, I had to ask my hosting provider to have the mails for this alias sent to the system trash immediately because I was flooded with virus mails…
Some more tips and caveats
- Don’t forget that even if you were BCC-ed in an email, you can find out via which alias it was sent to you by having a look at the email headers.
- The “Gmail trick” won’t work everywhere – some sites will refuse an email with “+” sign (or will refuse any Gmail address).
- The catchall solution is more powerful than the Gmail trick for yet another reason – you can create an actual account called firstname.lastname@example.org:
- It will block these mails even from entering your Catch-all mailbox (make it bounce when the mailbox is full, or have the mails sent to trash… such as in the virus mails example)
- And it works also when you’re in BCC (see first remark in this list)
- Forget about a catch-all solution when you do not have an adequate spam filter (from SpamHuntress). I forward my Catch-all mail to Gmail, which has great spam filtering. Leave a comment if you have other solutions that work for you.
- With email addresses constructed this way, spoofing a sender is dead easy of course. As far as I know, it hasn’t ever happened to me (why would anyone do that?) but if you’re careful as Michael Boyd Clark is, you might use a email@example.com instead of firstname.lastname@example.org.
I don’t use it because you’d need to calculate the generated address every time you want to query for it (with the “from:” operator in Gmail e.g.). And if you – like Michael does – use a hash (from which you cannot derive the originating domain name) you’d need to do some bookkeeping to make sure who’s address this was. Nevertheless, I might consider to rewrite the script so that it produces email@example.com (making it both recognizable and impossible to make up).

need help installing this mod
this is what it looks like ingame i follwed the read me an done the steps correct
I think I know what's wrong.
The readme file is incorrect, specifically "Part 2"
Put the Part 2 files into "update\x64\dlcpacks\mppatchesng\dlc.rpf\x64\models\cdimages\mppatches.rpf\player_zero
The readme is missing that final folder in the instructions. "player_zero".
Since you said you followed the readme exactly, that would mean you placed the files directly into mppatches.rpf, not the player_zero folder. You can blame the mod author for the misleading instructions. But yeah, I just downloaded that mod and put the files into the correct folder as stated above and the mod works perfectly. So it should work.

Net::RDAP::Error - an RDAP object representing an error.
Net::RDAP::Object::Error represents an error. This could be either an error returned by an RDAP server, or an internally generated error.
Net::RDAP::Object::Error inherits from Net::RDAP::Object so has access to all that module's methods.
$code = $error->errorCode;
Returns the error code number (corresponding to the HTTP response code). Internally generated errors are usually 400 if the arguments passed to Net::RDAP are invalid in some way, and 500 if the response from the server is invalid or cannot be reached.
$title = $error->title;
Returns a string containing a short summary of the error.
@description = $error->description;
Returns a (potentially empty) array of lines of descriptive text.

|
code
|
I don't understand the reason my 8.1.7 default tablespace availablity has shrunk from 2500M to 1000M in a month. I import weekly three or four user instances of databases where the dump size is typically under 10 MB.
drop user SCOTT cascade;and
alter tablespace USER_DATA coalesce;not make more free space available in USER_DATA?
I normally drop user SCOTT, coalesce, create user SCOTT again, then import a dump into SCOTT. (I have five-to-ten user instances available at any time.) What other database parameters should I adjust in order to avoid adding datafiles to USER_DATA?
Please note that imported database user instances seldom have more than a hundred rows of table growth during the course of a week or two active lifespan.
Are you using Locally Managed Tablespaces or Dictionary Managed Tablespaces (the default). I'm going to assume that you are using Dictionary Managed Tablespaces.
First, check to ensure that the default PCT_INCREASE for your tablespace is non-zero. This is done by issuing the following:
SELECT pct_increase FROM dba_tablespaces WHERE tablespace_name='USER_DATA';If it is equal to zero, then modify it a non-zero value, typically 1. This is done by the following command:
ALTER TABLESPACE user_data DEFAULT STORAGE (pct_increase 1);There is a process in the database called the System Monitor, or SMON. Part of SMON's job is to coalesce free space in the tablespace. It will only do this automatically for those tablespaces who's default PCT_INCREASE is non-zero. And if there is a lot of free space to coalesce, SMON will do some, then go back to sleep, then pick up at a later time. Over enough time, all free space will be coalesced. If you want to ensure that free space is being coalesced, issue the following query:
SELECT count(*) AS num_free_chunks FROM sys.ts$ t, sys.fet$ f WHERE t.ts# = f.ts# AND t.name='USER_DATA';Note the number given. Then repeat the query 10 or 15 minutes later. If free space is being coalesced, then you will see this number drop. If the number stays constant, then no free space is being coalesced.
There have also been some bugs due to this issue. Search Metalink for more information.

iPhone Emulator takes any webpage and opens an iPhone-emulating browser to show you how the webpage would look if it was rendered on an iPhone. This Chrome extension creates a new, re-sized Chrome browser that scales down the website content like an actual iPhone does. Users should note that the extension requires permission to run in incognito mode. The incognito mode isolates the session from your main browsing sessions, so websites do not send mobile cookies to your desktop session and vice-versa.
After installing the extension, click Tools -> Extensions and enable the Allow in incognito option. While browsing the web, when you want to view how a website would look like on an iPhone, simply click the button placed right next to the address bar. As you do this, a new re-sized window will be launched with an iPhone view.
This is a simple but useful extension that works perfectly on all websites and can particularly come in handy for web developers and designers. Visit the link below to install the extension.

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Ca3sCRGfWvXvYC5YC/what-are-some-non-purely-sampling-ways-to-do-deep-rl
|
code
|
Conventionally in machine learning, if you want to learn to minimize some loss or maximize some expected return, you do so by sampling a bunch of losses/rewards and training on those. Since the model only ever sees the loss or reward function through the lens of those specific samples, this basic approach introduces a proxy alignment problem.
For example, suppose you train an RL agent to maximize its future discounted return according to some reward function . Furthermore, suppose there exists some other reward function such that and give equivalent samples on the training distribution, but diverge elsewhere. If you just train your agent via evaluating on a bunch of samples, however, then even if your model is in some sense trying to do the right thing, it has no possible way of knowing whether or is the right generalization.
In many cases, however, we know exactly what is—we have explicit code for it and everything (or at least some sort of natural language description of it)—but we still only make use of via sampling/evaluation. Of course, in many RL settings, you actually do only know how to evaluate , not inspect it in any other way. However, I think a system that only works in settings where you have more access to the reward function than that can still do quite a lot—even if you explicitly know an environment’s reward function, it can still be quite difficult to figure out the optimal policy (think Go, for example) such that having an ML system which can figure it out for you is quite powerful.
So, here’s my question: at least for environments in which you have a known reward function, what are some ways of making use of that information in training a deep learning model other than evaluating that reward function on a bunch of samples? I’m also interested in ways of doing this in non-RL settings, though I still mostly only want to focus on deep learning approaches—there are certainly ways of doing this in more classical machine learning, but I’m less interested in those.
Some possibilities that I’ve considered so far:
- Put a differentiable copy of the reward function inside the network during training such that the network is able to arbitrarily query the reward function however it wants (credit to Nevan Wichers for this idea). For a smooth reward function you could also give your model the ability to explicitly query gradients as well.
- Express your reward function as a differentiable function with tunable parameters, put a bunch of copies in your network, and then train without freezing those tunable parameters (or maybe freeze for the first steps then unfreeze). This specific implementation seems pretty janky, but the basic idea here is to find a way to bias the network towards learning an algorithm that includes an objective that’s similar to the actual reward function.
- Using transparency/interpretability tools, figure out how the model is internally representing the reward function and then enforce that it do so in a way that maps correctly onto the actual reward function.
- Use a language model to make sense of a natural language description of your reward function in a way that allows it to act as an RL agent. For example, you could fine-tune a language model on the task of mapping natural-language descriptions of reward functions into optimal actions under that reward.
- Same as the language model idea, but instead of using natural language, use some sort of mathematical/logical/programming language instead. For example, you might be able to do something like this if you had a powerful deep-learning-based theorem prover.
- (EDIT) Here's another example: do MuZero-style planning where you learn all the dynamics necessary to do model-based planning in a model-free way except for the reward function and then include the reward function explicitly.
I’m sure there are other possibilities that I haven’t thought about yet, however—possibly including papers on this in the literature that I’m not familiar with. Any ideas?

Having managers when there are 10 people are at your company makes no sense. The hierarchy starts out flat, you add a few more people and you're at 20, and the idea of making someone a manager seems like a waste and something a 'BigCo' would do. "We need people who get stuff done, not people who sit around doing nothing but managing", you think. Then you get to 50 people and everything breaks down. You wonder why people are frustrated they can't get things done, while other people are doing things that embarrass your company or compete with other things you are doing. And you realize your company isn't a special little gem that is wholly unlike every other company in existence. You need management.
Just make sure you give the devs a professional ladder and compensation structure that doesn't involve moving to management, because managing isn't something everyone is good at or even wants to do. And make sure that management knows their job is a support role to the people at the company who are making things happen, not the other way around.
Absolutely. I'm simply sharing our experiences with how we run things - that's what my Inc. articles are about. I wouldn't expect anyone else to do what we do because we do it. Find your own comfort zone. There are plenty of ways to do plenty of things.
Note, there's nothing malicious that happens here. No one is trying to promote a bad developer. People are largely doing what they think makes sense -- promoting top performers.
"[C]ompanies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management [...] in order to limit the amount of damage they are capable of doing."
We have experienced the exact difficulties you have described, and have been slowly adjusting to create just enough structure to organize and motivate people. I would add that an additional area that becomes more important as a company grows is communication. Once the company gets past the size where the CEO/Director is getting around and talking with each employee on a weekly basis, and physical walls start to grow between teams, communication becomes much more difficult in both a vertical and horizontal sense (a side effect of added hierarchical structure i suppose?).
That is a priceless comment. It exposes Jason's huge blind spot. Worse, it is on this undefended flank that great future pain may be inflicted. I look forward to the post-learning article.
The underlying premise/assumption is that a 'manager' is not only not doing 'the' work, but they aren't really doing 'any' work. Its a very common meme in engineers, "The company makes money on the code I write, it makes no money at all on this guy telling me what do, it just costs them money."
Let's reason about this using a fairly simple analogy. We will start by positing that we are all rats in a maze. Our maze is, unfortunately, filled with rat dung. We further stipulate that walking on dung would kill us so the only way we can move through the maze is by shoveling the dung in front of us, to the pile behind us and then moving into the space we opened up. All the shoveling burns up calories, if we don't eat we will eventually starve to death. Finally, we add that there is a cheese somewhere in the maze, and once any rat makes its way to the cheese, everyone gets to eat of the cheese. That resets the rat’s hunger level, after the the cheese is located the maze resets around all the rats and process begins again.
Now in our analogy our engineers are the rats. And writing code is shoveling rat dung. And the cheese is a monetizable opportunity. Eating the cheese is collecting money from the opportunity.
In a small company, having everyone shovel as fast as they can, is a great strategy for finding the cheese(s). Some mazes have more than one cheese in them, sadly some mazes have no cheese in them. A manager, whether its the founder/CEO, or someone in that role, is given the opportunity to stand above the maze and see if there is a cheese nearby or in the distance, by seeing both the maze and where the cheese is relative to where in the maze rats are, they can direct rats that have the best chance of getting to the cheese quickly in the direction they should turn, otherwise each rat would be following his/her internal idea of the best way to find a cheese in a maze like ‘always follow the left wall’ or ‘alternate left and right turns’ or ‘leave marks in the dung piles of parts of the maze you have already passed through so that you can pick new passages the next time.’
So the leadership role of management in any technology company, is measured by their ability to get teams to the cheese while shoveling the least amount of rat dung. Good leadership will understand that there are many cheeses (and flavors of cheese, some more nourishing than others) and be able to evaluate the choice of going further for a very nourishing cheese vs going out of the way to munch a nearby, but less satisfying, cheese.
So back to the comment tail … “who don't do the actual work.” briefly.
It is pretty easy for an engineer to recognize a problem in one of their colleagues, even though their colleague is ‘doing’ a “lot” of work, that work is inefficient and thus ‘poor’. Someone checking in version after version of a subroutine, trying to get it correct, when that subroutine is doing something that is provided by the underlying operating system. Lots of ‘work’, lots of ‘check ins’, but someone who had a bit more breadth might have done in a couple of hours what this loser is taking a week to do. As an engineer, one can easily appreciate that this person is taking up an employee spot that could be put to more efficient use by a better quality engineer.
And yet it may be hard for that same engineer to understand that a manager is helping him, and his colleagues, be more efficient by working excellently on a component that will get them to a good cheese, versus working excellently on a component or a technology that does not proportionally have the business value they need to pay their own salaries.
A real world example was a shopping cart company that had, at one time, all of its engineers working on a universal language independent component for presenting product descriptions in over 100 languages and nobody on the team was working on making the shopping cart code play nice with various payment services. Which is the more nourishing cheese? English only and you accept any kind of payment, or any language but you have to have one type to payment card from one vendor ? The engineers were all writing excellent code, using all the latest best practices and the language support module they came up with was best in class, but product was a shopping cart and the “high order bit” for a shopping cart implementation is “can it take money from customers and put it in the bank?”
So when an engineer makes a comment like Jason’s about valuing ‘doing’ over ‘directing’, it can sound like the oarsmen in a galley complaining that he should be accorded higher status than the navigator since without him the boat wouldn’t go anywhere. But the reality is that without the navigator the boat wouldn’t arrive anywhere. Considered in the larger context, the navigator’s role is both more stressful and more important to the overall success of the trip than the oarsmen.
What Jason’s comment misses, and it sounds like a blind spot, is the understanding that you cannot successfully navigate and row at the same time.
I promise it is all love with me and this comment.
Without employing any additional analogies, I believe I can respond to your underlying point by suggesting that in a well-managed organization, one President or CEO can structure roles such that everyone is clear about the business value they provide and can manage their effort accordingly. This requires that you be careful about who you hire, what roles you create, and how you scale the company.
It does not however require that you not scale your company past 20 people.
That strategy, however, will not work in the (bad) kind of Silicon Valley startup that grows by buying Pasteurized Processed Product Managers. Your CS reps need to know what "service" means and how your specific customers perceive and value it. That can be hard to do. Thus, some companies probably do need management structures.
† Though only in the US edition that Rio Grande publishes, not the original German game
"...in a well-managed organization, one President or CEO can structure roles such that everyone is clear about the business value they provide and can manage their effort accordingly."
And once achieving this point, you neither change the people in the organization, nor do you change the direction of the overall effort. Life will be grand.
So 100% agreement on the goal of what every CEO/Founder is trying to achieve which is "Structuring the roles such that everyone is clear about the business value they provide and can manage their effort accordingly," Keeping the organization as close as possible to that goal in the presence of change, the limiting factor of using people that happen to be available in the job market at any given instant in time, and with the added constraint of operating within a viable business model. Well that separates the good ones from the bad ones does it not?
It has been my experience that people who are not able to evaluate the relative contributions of others who are in dissimilar roles make poor choices.
When I read a comment like 'we value doing over not doing' in the context of leadership, I wonder under what set of constraints is leading a group or team not a form of 'doing'? I can't come up with a case where someone who was, as part or all of their role, leading, felt that the 'leading' task wasn't a form of 'doing.' I have also not experienced anyone who, was in a leadership or management role felt that 'leading' (or in our case 'managing') they were doing was 'less hard' or 'less useful' than technical work (designing, coding, debugging, Etc.)
However, I've encountered people whose experience is dominated by technical work firmly believing that managing or leading was both easier and had less impact than the technical work they were doing. And I've known managers who have been managers for most (or all) of their career and felt that is was harder and more relevant than what the technical people did who worked for them.
So, to my way of thinking, if someone does value 'doing' over 'not doing' (which is good) and they understand the different values between what managers do and what engineers do, then the question of 'vertical movers' vs 'horizontal movers' is not a cultural thing its a 'what do we need right now for the business' kind of thing.
It's like reading an article that says "We had to fire Bob today because he came to me to say ask if he could spend more time on gcc, you see our organization is all linux kernel hackers and we like it that way." And yet that pre-disposition to kernel hacking completely misses the benefits that can be achieved if you your compilation environment improves. Anyway, enough analogies, I can tell they obscure the point too much.
When you mention technical workers being suspicious of managers and managers believing that there job is more difficult than technical work, you're talking about the exact situation that Jason mentions trying to avoid. One way of being less suspicious of the value of someone is to do the work that they do. That's what he's talking about.
Good luck with that one.
In your real world example, I would bet those engineers had some management team that decided localization into 100 languages was more important than interfacing with payment systems. That seems like a real world example of a management team that couldn't see the cheese.
Speaking from an engineer and team lead point of view, yes management is important, but not all management is created equally. For many large companies, the Dilbert principle is in full effect - non-technical people are promoted to management where they can supposedly do less damage. What does more damage to a company in the long term? One bad engineer checking in code that creates rework, or a manager that forces an entire team of engineers to head down the wrong path in the maze towards cheese that doesn't exist?
Also, I just wanted to mention that rowing doesn't mean you can't navigate as well. Bright engineers have a good picture of the industry they are in, and market direction. Some are far better at it than their managers. Just because you write code all day doesn't mean you don't know how to make a business decision, which is what I read when you say we can't row and navigate at the same time.
Yes, its the difference between good managers and not good managers. And yes the downside of a bad manager is that a bunch of people have a poor experience rather and the rest of the team having to cover for a poor developer. So picking managers is hard, must be done carefully, and must be constantly evaluated.
"non-technical people are promoted to management where they can supposedly do less damage."
See the comment about the role of the CEO (or more senior manager) if someone isn't the right person for any job in your company, then you have to let them go. If you can't do that you're not doing the management thing correctly.
I strongly disagree, and I think the metaphor leads one astray.
In a startup there is not a navigator and then an army of oarsmen. Instead there's a team with diverse skills attempting to understand and solve a complex problem. A manager can only direct rats to the cheese if they themself fully understand mazes, cheese and shoveling shit. But if each rat has diverse and individual ways to contribute to getting closer to the cheese, the job of a single manager providing vision and directing becomes geometrically harder as each new skill/role is added. Imagine each rat speaks one of a babel of different languages, and we start seeing how hard the job is for our imaginary leader.
It's incorrect to assume that the rats shoveling the shit don't have their own vantage on the cheese, or that the oarsmen can't see the stars and where the ship is headed on their own.
This is the difference between an industrial structure and a a research structure.
Top down command structures are extremely effective when everything is already understood. It's what you want when you're solving a known problem with known tools, like building commodity products on a production line.
But top down networks face enormous challenges when trying to achieve only partially understood goals within complex changing environments. Integrating feedback as it travels back up the tree is very difficult to do effectively. Top down command networks are at their peak efficiency when feedback doesn't need to go up very high. Otherwise, the top of the structure becomes overwhelmed.
This divide is almost entirely why large technology organizations end up innovating primary by acquisition rather than internal discovery (example: MS). They have to buy both solutions to new market opportunities as well as the people who understand and built those solutions, because their internal structure is very poor at learning and adaptation.
Collaborative problem solving is different. It relies on frequent and open ended horizontal communication. It often appears directionless. But what it facilitates is overlapping shared understandings far more detailed than could ever be centralized in one person. It allows points of command to emerge when necessary, and disappear when not. The ease with which a small team does this organic communication and discovery is one of the huge advantages of small companies. It's not one you should shed lightly.
The only way to do this in large companies is to maintain a very horizontal structure where individual business units have a great deal of autonomy in accomplishing their goals, and where employees can fluidly move between teams to spread knowledge.
There's another option for the big company: create an internal market structure. But AFAIK no one has a repeatable template for quite how to do that (and apparently Google's attempt at it has somewhat failed).
In any case, returning to flogging your metaphor:
The smart navigator will listen to the oarsman: perhaps they've noticed something I haven't? And the very smart navigator will teach all who are interested about his skills, so that the whole boat becomes more valuable than it's competitors.
And notice that no where in here have I mentioned any terminology about prestige, respect, or "actual work". This stuff is cancerous, and whenever you see it, get rid of it immediately.
Managing a company below 25 people is relatively easy. You can still talk to most people every day, you can gather them all in one room, information flow is unrestricted. But staying under 25 people means for most companies that you are stifling growth.
Once you get above the magical 25 people threshold, you'll find that it is simply impossible to manage the company effectively using a completely flat structure. Also, you'll discover a lot of new problems you never suspected existed before: you'll need internal PR, for instance, as people in one part of the company won't know what people in other parts are doing. There will be myths to dispel, growing animosities, lack of direction. And there is simply no way you can keep your pretty flat structure with 45 people.
I know that 37signals' advice resonates with people. They are the cool kids. But keep in mind they are an exceptional company, in every sense of the word.
flat == good
You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
I'm not sure we have similar answers, but one response to the problem of not being able to afford people who don't do real work is to make sure everyone is doing real work. We're primarily a services firm, and everybody in that org, including Dave, our President, is billable. It's something I tell people in interviews, and that I'm sort of proud to be able to say; everyone's grounded in the actual work that our actual people are actually doing for actual clients.
In that spirit, one way to address this problem might be to have team leads instead of managers.
I feel like Joel wrote about this a few years ago too, and while I'm probably wrong about this, off the top of my head it feels like their answer to this is that when they have too many senior people, they think about new products. Isn't the highest level on their comp ladder (not a fan of that thing) reserved for people who can run products?
Would love to hear more about what people in the 20-40 employee bracket are doing here.
Our company has an interesting dynamic. I would say everyone has the ability to "speak up" but we have designated management roles. I speculate there are some reasons for this:
1. Leadership - "junior" people need a certain level of mentorship. Many of them don't understand process and need managers to guide them on those processes. Hiring the quality of people (even at "the bottom") that your firms may attract is VERY difficult for the other 99% of companies like us out there. We simply don't have the whole techie seen watching our firm day to day and thus don't attract them to our company. Hiring SUCKS. Is that our issue? Sure. But this utopian business world isn't always possible -- even though we want it to be.
2. External client view - Our company works almost exclusively with blue chip companies. They expect to see CV's with years of experience and fancy titles like "Principal Consultant", "Management Consultant", etc. etc. With these titles comes the responsibilities of managing people. When I used to work for the largest biz software vendor in the world I remember there was a title "Engagement Architect". I was basically told that this position only existed because the client contact (mainly the CIO) needed a contact at our company that was on his same "level". Also, some people flat out do not have soft skills.
I think the overall point is this... this is not a lesson in how to run a better business. This is a lesson in how Jason is happiest in running his small business and wants to keep it a small business. Many of us love the agility of being in a small company and fear if we add more numbers we will lose that agility. (and that's probably true) 37signals has only increased it's employee base to 26 over 11 years. With the amount of press they have drawn there is no reason why this number shouldn't be 260. For the record, I'm not saying that it should be 260, I'm saying that they have probably favored higher profit margins on their existing employee base rather than to scale the business out vertically.
Fred Wilson once wrote "Marketing is for companies who have sucky products." In order to do this with 26 people, you need to find 26 very good people. Do you know extremely difficult that is to do? It's even difficult with just 2! Face it, most people SUCK at business. I applaud Jason (and others) who have had the fortune and ability to do such a thing.
"real work" != "billable work"
"Everyone does billable work" seems great from the $ POV. That doesn't mean that people who are never billable aren't critical too.
...and was inspired by this Fast Company Article about some GE division that had no middle management...
The point is that it's possible to run a company where managers don't have a purpose and aren't necessary.
This study from around 2002/2003 puts their revenues at $8 billion annually with 60,000 employees. That puts their per-employee revenues at around $133k.
This puts their revenues at $24.2 billion in 2008, which is almost $300k per employee, if you use the ~85,000 employees figure.
Looking more closely, they're a strange sort of conglomerate. At a glance, I see two banks, two insurance companies, roughly two hundred industrial companies, a dozen retail shops, a dozen food-related businesses, a dozen research firms, and ten education companies.
In a way, it reminds me of Idealab, in that each new company is a new pool of equity (with the associated incentives that result from ownership), and that failures are not punished, but rather result in retraining or placement in a different firm. (for full co-op members).
It's also interesting to see that the founder was a priest who started off with a co-operative polytechnic school and bootstrapped everything from that base.
So those figures would indicate 174,000 Euros per employee, which makes a lot more sense.
if your environment has a significant amount of elements that engineers (or generally - employees) wouldn't want to be in charge for, then you are already deep into the problem and the shortest solution here is to assign managers to be in charge of those things.
The key is to not allow the situation to degrade into creating "demand" for managers. For example, once you create one manager for a group, s/he would want to talk to somebody, preferably managers, from other groups. That burden on the other groups would naturally trigger response - creating managers in the other groups. That starts to structure the information and decision flow the way that rank-and-file employees lose much of the visibility into the product and business and thus lose the ability (and motivation) to take even small decisions, thus requiring even more management ...
This quote really, deeply bothered me. One of the major differences between alpha males and the rest of the population is that they will always assume they'll end up in the top spot. Your prototypical alpha male won't even consider the odds of being on the bottom in that lottery.
To push it further, those same aggressive types will have the passion and voice to draw support for their views, no matter the substance. A "flat" structure overvalues the opinions of the loud and aggressive, with little room for more pensive contributors, especially women.
In other words, if you leave the authorship of the social contract to the loudest people, you may end up with a rather oppressive outcome. This is a universal rule, often overlooked by the alpha males who spend their time talking to Inc. Magazine.
If so, then you are assuming a context in which the agents of the situation can change the roles in which they are assigned permanently. That is not the case in this context, because the agents (Jason Fried's support team) are rotated between management and worker, and no one is getting promoted vertically.
"A "flat" structure overvalues the opinions of the loud and aggressive, with little room for more pensive contributors, especially women."
Coincidentally enough, Jason leads off the article with an anecdote about a talented woman leaving the company because of their flat structure.
While that's true, i think his original point was that the alpha males will choose decisions that favour themselves....Introspective motivational awareness is hardly a profitable trait in our current society* (*-whatever i have seen is constrained to indian IT)
The takeaway for me is that you should be constantly questioning whether there is a different way to run things that enhances the performance of your organization as a whole. I have personally been privy to how the people with the most impressive titles frequently have the least connection to what's going on in the business. Some of the methods taken at 37Signals seem to be aimed at fixing this problem, which I think is commendable.
At the same time, it seems a shame to have to let go of a good employee because they want to take on more responsibility. If their view on more responsibility is simply a bigger title, then perhaps they weren't the right fit for 37Signals. However, in my opinion, ambition and competence should be rewarded, so it seems like there may have been a better way to handle the situation than choosing between staying in the same role and leaving the organization.
You're right - we don't have the exact right answer. We're always trying to find the right answer for the right time. We may have a different opinion in 3 years or if we have 35 people. Who knows, but we're open to figuring it out once we get there.
In the end we want to build a company that allows people to do the best work of their lives.
I'm on a small team within a larger organization that we support (in dev and tool usage). A challenge for us is that people in the larger org are used to having a manager to route their requests to.
I may give a rotational approach a whirl. But right now, one of my primary roles is as s&!t umbrella and I don't want to overly burden my real producers.
(Also, the committee only has to ratify the officer's decision with a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs.)
There is a PR lesson in this for all of us!
Also, think about it like this if you feel "evil" doing this, as a CEO you are the mind of the organization, you must think for the organization because like a baby it cannot fend for itself. I am commending Jason for being creative - most companies throw away money year after on ads in magazines like Inc that barely get glanced at - Jason, on behalf of his organization, has sold you his product - correct me if he hasn’t.
This type of information doesn't translate well to most other companies. I hope 37signals' audience gets that. For software startups, many of their ideas are exceptional and it's fantastic to see real-world examples. For already-established companies and companies that can't be as picky as 37s, testing this type of structure seems unnecessarily risky. I believe 37s has addressed this in the past, and Jason has in his Inc. writings. I just hope people are paying attention.
In my experience, managers in most departments have essentially taken the role of sheep-herders. So, I started to ask myself: why do I need a manager when I work well on my own, making smart, educated decisions that are based upon the ideals and successes of other smart, educated and passionate people?
After all, I'm being hired for my prowess, no? If I am, do I need a manager? And shouldn't you always hire people who have these sensibilities?
I think the message I find within this rubble of contemporary and progressive ideologies is: Hire smart. If you have a good team who understand their roles and how it pertains to the goals of the company, you don't need managers - not for a small or mid-sized company, anyway. Basecamp has been the best PM I've ever worked with - alive or binary. Software has already begun to facilitate the role perfectly for me.
My responsibility is mainly to be a shit umbrella, so my creative and developers can do work, especially when we're all working on multiple clients. I'm not doing my job when I have to have them in meetings, in fact we don't meet save for face-to-face discussions.
That and of course dealing with the rowdiness of clients, hammering out scope, keeping things to scope, and being the bad guy when necessary with the client. (This is actually harder then people realize, our default human reaction is to help people, and it requires taking abuse in the extremes that is simply part of your job)
This article sums up my views nicely: http://weblog.muledesign.com/2010/10/project_managers_not_ca...
So for me doing PM work is actually more of a horizontal promotion, doing some different work because I like it, while I am definitely not "in charge" of any people now.
I guess my point is that even picking up PM work can be a horizontal promotion.
Oftentimes PMs (or better, their organization culture + workflow) have thrown a wrench or 2 into production and caused cascading failures because they forgot a detail, or couldn't admit to fault. The culture is surely to blame amidst most of these catastrophes.
The fact that you can admit that your PM skills need work already makes you a frontrunner for being a much better PM than most.
My take is, manager positions are ripe for buck passing (to and from), collateral pressure for performance and abuse. Maybe some people can deal with that type of nonsense but the number of those who can't certainly outweigh them.
I can see how a manager might feel by this message. My thoughts are: If you're providing a great service to your underlings and your clients than you're in no position of regret. Contrarily, if you feel sick to your stomach when you go to work everyday and you're proud of that to a point of defense or fear, maybe it's time to reevaluate.
And while they may not have anyone with the job title CTO, I'd be very surprised if DHH was anything other than the de facto CTO.
I think if I already had a business of 10-15 people this would be a good model to attempt to follow. If I had a business of 40+, I would be far more wary; the question of scale is for those who may try to fit the model to their existing business.
The assumption when you publish an article is that you're doing it to provide examples to others, not just talk about how good you are. In that situation, I think it's fair to point out the limitations and areas where this strategy might not work.
However, if you want your company to grow into a Groupon or Zynga, and you have the rapidly expanding demand to support that, then you need to scale. I don't think Groupon could run on 26 people, so they needed to scale to get to such massive revenue figures.
I specifically didn't use Facebook as an example because I know your feelings about them. I figured Groupon at least has the revenue to support their valuation :)
You can't "want" your company into becoming a Groupon or a Zynga by design a certain organizational structure. Startups try that all the time by preemptively hiring tons of people to sit around and wait for the hockey stick growth that never comes.
Well let me ask you this. When is it the right time to reorganize and evolve from the flat structure because you are growing like gang-busters and can't keep up with the pressure on all areas of the company (support, development, sales, etc.)
Their industrial democracy approach has scaled quite well, with 3000 employees.
I think the biggest reason most companies don't recreate Semco's example is that nobody wants to think of themselves as expendable, especially people who can decide whether they're expendable or not, as the top management positions of a company are in a position to do so.
By saying "yes, our employees can make these decisions without us, we just have to give them the structure and support to do so", people at the top are admitting that they're not as important as our society tells them they are.
In Semco's case, Ricardo Semler was happy to admit that, because he felt the stress of running the business was killing him, and he welcomed the idea. A lot of people in his position would take anti-anxiety medication and something for acid reflux, and keep going, convinced that their position holding the reins is indispensable.
Also, more pragmatically, how realistic is it to have 30 direct reports?
It's "unrealistic" because there are social realities that exist outside of the valley and tech blogs. It's true that it's a good company, and it's true that it's a darling company here, but there will be sectors that haven't heard of these kinds of places.
And, again, once you hit something of size, some delineation
is a necessity. You don't have to model the Marine Corps, but when you have 30 people arguing over something, the buck has to stop somewhere.
The buck always stops somewhere. Whether you're two people or three people. At 37signals, the buck stops with Jason and me. Now it happens to be that when you employ smart craftsmen and women who care about what they do, there's very few loose bucks to stop.
Employers that worry about this are rather silly. I'd hire a candidate even if he was starring in said porn productions.
Maybe it's just a scarcity mentality thing; they're worried about turning off potential employers, but when you're constantly getting contacted by recruiters I guess it's hard to feel like it's a disadvantage.
But give them an opportunity to serve as team lead on a successful project or several, and you've got plenty of resume mojo to spread around to everyone.
I think this is very naive of him, and a little selfish. He's enjoying the title of "President" which, to me, is a purely managerial position. I doubt if he considers himself useless, but he's happy to label other managers useless. I might be wrong, but it seems that he's either too selfish to see other people take away some of his control or he's afraid to tackle the problem of a growing company. Both of these will have negative consequences in the future.
Just for the record, over my 14+ years in a technical field, I have been a manager for 5+, and have given up that title twice before to focus on more technical work.
I doubt that what he does in that position is purely managerial. I think you may have a hard time seeing why they value what they do if you impose your own viewpoints on them.
In my opinion, it will be impossible to have 200 employees with a flat structure.
I think the misconception with the article is that the title (and focus) is "Why I run a Flat Company" as if this should be the standard for modern business. This works for 37signals, because (1) you have actively chosen to grow very slowly when you could have otherwise grown much faster and (2) you've had the fortune and ability to attract some very good people. Many businesses don't desire to do number 1 and find it very hard to do number 2.
Re: design. Yes, I design. It's the primary thing I do. Design, sketch, work on product simplification, design/think about user experience, etc. DHH still codes as well (he's working on some nice enhancements to Highrise right now, in fact). Both David and I would prefer to design and code all day, but it's not always possible. Lately it's been more possible so we've bee doing it more often.
I apologize if I got things wrong. I was just going with whatever is here: http://37signals.com/about
"Jason Fried is the co-founder and President of 37signals."
"Jason co-wrote all of 37signals books, and is invited to speak around the world on entrepreneurship, design, management, and software."
with that kind of workload, I assumed you wouldn't have enough time for anything else. I never said whatever you do is useless. Far from it. Non-technical work that is focused at growing a company is more important than any technical work. After all, what can you do with an insanely great product that you can't sell because you didn't prepare for it properly?
Re: speaking. Not speaking anymore. Really enjoying getting back to product design.
As the organization grows, i can't see a totally flat structure working - you're going to end up with people who have been there 5 years, wake up one day and realize they have the same role and similar salary to what they had where they started, realize they have no career path with their current employer, and will move on.
1. The people who are worth the most to us are the people who do the best work. We pay accordingly. "Management-like" salaries go to the best workers.
2. You assume people want different roles. Some people do, but we work hard to hire people who love their craft and want to keep crafting. A programming being pushed away from programming, just because they've been at the company for five years, is not the desired path for most programmers who really love programming. Same goes for designing, etc.
Speaking of titles: We tend to avoid those too. We've had a good bit of debate inside the company about this, but we're sticking to staying as title-less as possible. I don't think they're worth it in the long term. They set up boundaries between people that I don't believe are necessary. Might that change if we had 100+ people? It could, but I'm concerned with the now instead of the imagined future.
It's important to set other people up for success, whether it's success at your firm or at someone else's. They're not "human resources", they're people!
Although, as many others have pointed out, there are some great examples of huge companies running similar strategies to good effect (Semco etc).
Managers and marketers get new products and changing business conditions to keep them interested, developers get new tech to explore and tech debt to resolve.
Customer service... is easy to master and once done there's no new fields to conquer. It's ultimately boring. Fine if you want a job to show up to and just do, but if you want to be interested in developing/advancing skills, it's not going to happen in customer service.
I actually find it a little insulting that the tone of the article is a little "well, the developers can handle 'not advancing', why can't the customer support person?".
The professional development tree for customer support looks like a stump.
For straight up customer service person you would be right, but I think there is a lot of room to move there in a flexible organisation. Depends on the person I guess, it doesn't surprise me really they would see more turnover here than they would of developers.
The key point is that even if you're interacting directly with the devs, you're still not really being proactive or learning concrete skills. The job is still pretty much reactive. If you're driven or feel the need to develop, there really isn't much to strive for. You're not the one that gets to figure out code, or create marketing campaigns. There's not really any ongoing feeling of "I made this!". And if you move into design/planning, that's not really support anymore.
I don't mean to rag on support - they are the ditch-diggers of the IT world - but if you're driven, then it's got nothing to offer you after a fairly short while.
The main difference between what I did, and what the rest of my team did, was that I had the added responsibility for dealing with partners and vendors, negotiating contracts, scheduling hardware installations, and the like. The rest of the team was able to remain completely focused on the system administration issues that we cared about while I split my time.
For our team, it made good sense. For the other development/design teams, the way they're run makes sense. It all depends on context.
Employees play the game (ie do the work), but I think a good manager/leader can make a big difference.
Sure, Michael Jordan was a great basketball player who had good teammates, but Phil Jackson must be doing something right in order to extract the talent out of his players in just the right way to win year in and year out. And that is hard.
Perhaps there's just not very many good coaches or managers, which is why there's such distaste for "management."
But every good team, organization, or company has a great "manager" or "managers".
In the case of 37signals, it seems that person is Jason Fried (he is the CEO).
What if "promotion" doesn't necessarily mean domain over other people, which seems to be the other issue. There can only be one SVP of Technology, for example, in most organizations.
What if, like in school, you get "degrees" for achieving things within the organization? If you launch a major new product successfully, you achieve a "master programmer" honor, and the associated pay benefits. This doesn't necessarily give you any right to control others in the organization, but it rewards employees for stellar performance. They can then put that on their resume if they go to another company.
I would argue it is a little short-sighted to say that the company can exist in a vacuum, when every other company in the world, for the most part, operates with a title. That doesn't mean you have to play that game within the company, but you should at least accommodate employees' concerns that they work for you for 10 years, and then can never get a comparable job because it looks like they never advanced. If they stay in your good graces, it probably isn't an issue, since I'm sure you will give them a good recommendation. But if not, they could be in big trouble when they go to find a new job.
A large part of management structure in the first place is to try to insulate the organization against changes at any level. Want to replace the entire C suite and the board? No problem... business goes on as usual. With this structure, the company becomes highly dependent on the people at the very top. Any changes there might have the effect of blowing up the whole organization, because there are only a few people who are unquestionably in charge. I think there are lots of benefits from trying to reshape the corporate org chart, as I mentioned in another post, but it is also dangerous to be overly idealistic in terms of how your employees regard this structure and the risk they place on working under it. If most of them feel its appropriate, then I suppose there is no problem. However, I wouldn't automatically assume that's the case, just because they have chosen to work without a title. Also, a large part of their continued work at the firm may have to do with their relationship with you personally, which may put the long term viability of the business at risk.
Why should anyone optimize for the irrational job-hirers out there? This does not sound like a path to happiness to me. Besides I find it unlikely that the kind of person who is happy at a small company like 37s for 10 years would want to work at this hypothetical irrational company.
Without wanting to sound snide, do you look for people who want to stay in the same role forever? It surprises me that people's ambitions to branch out and take on more responsibility haven't caused this to come up before. A salary bump, more benefits, and more vacation time wouldn't help me placate my desire to learn about other skill sets.
You can easily have a big impact on all the other domains of the business even if you're just a programmer.
Hell, we just had Craig Davey switch from being a programmer to being a designer recently!
Job titles are free and it helps the employee along on their career. No, they shouldn't be inflated, but they shouldn't be held back either. Eventually the employee needs to put that job on their resume and if it looks like they were an entry level person because the Founder was a jerk about titles, it's better if the employees leave now instead of later.
The 37Signal employees:
* Like their field and want to be 'hands-on'
* Don't mind staying in the same company for 10X years.
The supposed norm:
* Prefer to advance to other positions vertically
* Like moving between companies (for challenge/change).
Makes me wonder what is the difference between the two types of personalities and how those affect the organization.
For example, is there more or less innovation in 37Signals ? Are people more ready to step up and fix/report problems outside their immediate responsibilities ?
I'd rather have a flat org (and no titles) with wildly different pay (and extreme bonuses, profit sharing, equity grants) -- rather than relatively flat pay and lots of titles (which tends to be the norm in industry).
But there are people who are content to code forever, and I wonder how they differ from people like me.
I'd say it's just the opposite. The lack of organizational hierarchy and title means that people can work outside their normal expertise more easily. Nobody is stuck in a box.
Designers pick up programming skills as their interests allow. Programmers with UI ideas can try them out. Both contribute with writing, with workflow ideas, and on customer support. We've even had people completely shift roles from programming to design.
So preaching "flat" while being a business owner sounds a little suspicious, because you are preaching everybody about flat while standing above them.
I hope 37signals is truly different (I cannot judge since I don't know crucial details), because if at some point after ten years the business is sold to a big corp, and everyone finds himself trapped below ten levels of management, without a career path, 4 day workweeks during the summers of youth will sound like a bad joke.
In all the proposals / solutions mentioned here for dealing with growth while maintaining a flat culture, this is one approach I haven't seen yet. It worked well for a Dutch consultancy firm called BSO, which reached over 6000 people in the 90's, all organised into near-independent little companies of 50-ish people each, all targeting a different market, but each with the same culture and values. The firm itself was a flat company of these little companies (called "cells"), so effectively there were just 2 to 3 layers of management.
(http://www.extent.nl/articles/entry/origins-original/ if you care about the details)
"We've experimented with promoting a few people to manager-level roles."
So they are flat, with no chief anything, but they have 'manager-level roles'? Am I missing something or is there a contradiction in his description?
Edit: Got it, 'experimented' meaning that they tried, didn't work, and they went back to flat. Thanks for the responses.
Besides that I find that even with no job titles or formal roles, people within a company tend to self-organize and take on de facto roles. The only difference is that it isn't formalized, and people who end up managing aren't being paid manager salaries or getting manager options.
Re: manager's options... We don't offer options so that's not an issue.
Past tense, too.
Despite the cocktail title, there still isn't a clear "path of authority" or anything like that. The buck stops at the partners, and the rest of us function like a meritocracy. The ones with a track record or expertise on a given topic have a respected voice, and there is always opportunity for expertise to shift or widen over time. It's that fuzzy-edged quality to the role that makes it feel experimental for me.
37 signals is amazing at marketing. Their blogs. Their books. Video Lectures. Mission statements. Guest posts.
From how the error messages are written, to customer service, to copywriting in our emails, to the cancellation process, to clarity of message, to how every single thing in each product works, it's all marketing. Marketing is everyone's responsibility. It's the sum total of everything we do.
You can clearly see this being played out within the big 4 accounting firms (I recruited for them and from them). Within the firms its extremely vertical in that progression is dictated largely by how long you stayed until you hit partnership where its strictly vacancy. Thus, you're basically looking at steady yearly promotions until you reach being a senior manager after 6-8 years within the firm.
This is where I was able to take the most senior people usually in a seasonal manner pretty easily. This is because after being a senior manager you really have only two trajectories within the firm, associate partner or partner. The AP is basically a position they created to please senior managers who sounded too old and weren't good enough to be partners. So what you generally see is 3-4 hotshot senior managers all vying for the 1 partnership position that will be available that season/year. Inevitably I'll have 3/4 partner potential senior managers leaving because they know they're better off leaving the firm and going to an industry position or worse a competitive firm. They already know the stigma of being an AP.
Thus, you don't simply see attrition at the top level, but the attrition of the very best at the top level and the rest being APs. What's worse is those guys who are the best usually have a loyal following within the firm. Well guess who gives me a call after placing that senior manager as a hiring manager where they're building a team? Now you see an attrition of even better people who you were probably underpaying at junior positions leaving the firm for better pay and better hours. The only guiding light there is you're hoping that senior manager becomes their client in the future.
Thus, you see a system where the highly vertical nature of the structure led to a culture where attrition was the norm. While it might be naive to think so, I think being a flat structure might give a better chance for the culture to shape that perception of the promotion and have them "feel" it rather than perceive it.
I read somewhere that David was originally a contractor and then became a partner, but has this occurred for any other significant contributors to the company. I'm thinking 10+ years, has a solid and respected reputation within the company, etc.
That's the hard part because it's only dealing with problems and never "great to have to call you".
I guess customer service these days is disposable and easily replaceable.
Since this topic is sort of centered around a small part of my experience, I'd love to shed some light on a couple points:
True! I started my own business! For about 7 hours of my life I didn't know what I was going to do if I couldn't bloom at 37signals, and then I told David and Jason I was starting my own company, CoSupport.us.
True: I left 37signals because I really wanted to do more support-wise, and the needs of the company didn't mesh with my ideas. They need people full-time on support, they don't need someone who's not there responding to tickets. After 4 years of answering 100+ emails a day, I wanted to do other things. Needing me on tickets interacting with customers is what Jason means when he says they can't have people working on a team not doing the work of the team.
True: David and Jason may sometimes come off a bit stiff, perhaps even cold, when it comes to how they manage their business, but that's the unfortunate aspect of print, edits, etc. In truth, working for them was the most challenging, educational, inspirational time of my career so far. They are the opposite of cold when it comes to their employee's ambition, ideas, talent and goals.
True: My experience leaving was equivalent to a professional football player saying to his coach, "Hey I think I want to try being a referee!" The player isn't on the team to be a referee. If he wants to be a referee, he needs to go to referee school and become a referee, not say, "I'm going to stay on the football team and be a referee, too." That's not how it works in football, or at 37signals.
False: I was not at all "rewarded" for my ambition by being shut down, put down, held down, or in any way shuttered by David or Jason. I was rewarded by them telling me I had too much ambition to be contained there, and by them supporting my new company as best they can.
False: I actually did my first job for 37signals in 2005, and started full-time in March 2007. So a little more than "just about 3 years."
The only bad thing I have to say about 37signals or their management or my leaving is that they stole my frog, which you can ask Jason Fried about.
But I still think you got a raw deal no matter how they spin it and I firmly believe in the back of their minds you were always flagged as "disposable" (replaceable) if necessary. I've seen it over and over again over the years.

This will be a less focused and problem/solution oriented blog post than usual for me. I’m currently taking a short break while attending the Dynamics AX / 365 User Group Summit. Midway through, we’ve heard the keynote, I’ve hit a few sessions, and I’ve gotten an idea how this thing works and what to expect next year (in Orlando, Florida, if you want to register for next year).
Attendance seems to be roughly 1/3rd IT people, with enough developers to fill sessions pretty well.
There have been sessions focused on X++ coding, but mostly higher level (you can only do so much in an hour long session). Best session so far that I attended went over the difference between “overlayering” (what you’d call “customization” in older versions) and “extensions,” which I already knew; but with useful explanation about the new-ish Chain Of Command functionality. Also a great (but again high-level) session on automated testing, something I’ve never looked at as a newer developer; I now have a rough idea how to set up Unit Tests and Type Provider / Integration Tests, which I look forward to diving into.
Common Data Model is big. (Is this the same as Common Data Service? I’m sure Microsoft doesn’t mind any confusion. See also renaming VSTS to “Azure DevOps,” a confusing name that I really hope does not stick.) Power BI and Flow are huge topics. Although ostensibly friendly to end users, developers should not ignore these tools. You WILL be integrating Power BI into D365 as a developer, especially if there are custom reports; and you’ll find Flow helpful with some integrations.
There are no shortage of tools to learn that part, at least. Microsoft mentioned https://microsoft.com/learn during their keynote (in between basically demoing the whole family of products and how easily they talk to each other, in a perfect world at least…) which should be a good starting point for learning many things… still no real path for X++ programming, though. The expectation still seems to be that either you’ve been working in AX 2012 and earlier and need refreshers, or you’re coming from C++ and learning from a generous employer; third parties are starting to fill the gap by offering training, but that is your only real option if you can’t get on-the-job training.

I work for a newspaper. I submit my stories in text form via modem into a hideously outdated server at the newspaper office. I've been limited to OS 9 all this time because the only app my IT aces could handle was MicroPhone Pro, which is incompatible with OS X. I need to go to X now. Since my paper's IT aces are not helping, I've got to figure this out on my own. How hard can it be to send text? They say the problem is with the modem. Stock Apple modems -- and a Global Village USB modem I provided them -- allegedly transmit data at the maximum rate in all cases. Our system can handle data only at a certain rate, which is far below these modems' max. We're talking 2 bits/sec. Something like that. Does anyone have some ideas on how I should proceed? Apps? Modems? They suggested that I buy a Wintel machine. I laughed.

Managing Contacts in Emacs with BBDB
This post is about BBDB (Big Brother Database), which is the main contacts application available for Emacs.
Contacts Application for Emacs
BBDB is packaged within distributions, albeit quite old versions of it are packaged within Debian at the time of writing.
The latest versions (that begin with 3, e.g. 3.1.2) require Emacs 23 or 24, an older version of Emacs will require version 2 of BBDB; although it is much nicer for other reasons to use the latest version of Emacs that you can get.
The README gives full instructions to get set up. Basically, like with most other Emacs libraries, you make the library available by editing the ~/.emacs file and using the require function.
(require 'bbdb-loaddefs "/path/to/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el")
Despite the name ending in DB, contacts are stored in a plain text file at ~/emacs.d/bbdb (where ~ represents the user’s home directory).
If you ever edit the file by hand or with code you write yourself, it is important to keep one item to a line, if a line break gets removed then BBDB will reject the file until you fix it.
Since it is a plain text file, you can do back it up easily, sync it between computers, write scripts that do things to it, track it with git or whatever you can imagine.
If you already have a load of contacts somewhere, then the best way to get started is to import them from there. I personally had a load of contacts in Google Contacts that had been built up from my Gmail account and Android phone.
I used a lovely little Python script called charrington which grabbed all the contacts from Google and added them to a bbdb file.
As always, M is for Meta which means Alt on an IBM-PC style keyboard.
Typing M-x bbdb allows you to search for a contact. So if I search for Elizabeth, I get this contact:
The other commands all start with bbdb- for example, M-x bbdb-create allows you to type in a new record. There is almost a hundred commands, but you do not need to remember them. Using tab completion shows them all, they are also organised in a toolbar menu.
If you have imported lots of contacts from Google Contacts, then sometimes different pieces of information about a person are stored under different names.
One of the most useful things is M-x bbdb-search-duplicates, this allows you to merge contacts together and/or delete duplicate contacts.
When you have point over a record, pressing m will allow you to compose an email to the person. Emacs then drops you into message mode.
Email in Emacs is another topic entirely, but if you put the following into your ~/.emacs file then you have setup the absolute basics:
(setq user-mail-address "[email protected]" user-full-name "Your Name")
If you have a mail transport agent or relay (such as mstmp) setup then Emacs can pass the email to whatever is pointed to by /usr/sbin/sendmail or you can use Emacs itself to relay email.
Pressing simply e edits the current line. ; allows you to write an attached note. If the record has a www field then W displays the web page.
You can even phone your contacts directly from Emacs! Typing M-d will phone the current contact; obviously you need to have a modem or some other kind of phone system setup.
Various mail and news packages for Emacs can make use of your contacts to provide auto-fill functions, e.g. in the To: field of an email.

Note: This section describes the new interface. For information about the classic interface, see Target Groups (Classic Interface) . For information about navigating the new interface, see Navigate Tenable.io (New Interface).
A target group allows you to construct a list of scan targets by FQDN, CIDR notation, or IP address range. You can then specify which users in your organization can use the target group in scan configurations or filtering dashboards (including workbenches).
Note: Tenable recommends limiting the number of targets in any single target group. When filtering a dashboard by a target group with too many targets, Tenable.io may fail to show data.
Note: System target groups and related functionality asset isolation are deprecated. To control scan permissions, use access groups instead.
You can still create and edit system target groups, as well as use system target groups in scan configurations and dashboard filters. However, Tenable recommends using user target groups instead.
If you grant a user permissions in a target group, the user can use the target group in the Target Groups option for scan configuration. However, you must also grant the user Can Scan permissions in an access group for the targets, or Tenable.io excludes the targets from the scan results. For more information, see Access Groups.

I told the story of the best game I ran here but that wasn't the best game I played. Tim of Gothridge Manor recounts the game here.
I can't add too much to his account. The whole guide thing with a women dressed as man really did throw me on a couple of levels. I figured that the reason Pam was playing a man was because of the Arthurian genre. Another is that I am 50% deaf. My deafness effects different tones differently. My hearing aids help but I often miss things in a general conversation. Half of me was wondering what I missed. But it was really cool once I got over my confusion and explain a lot why she defended me verbally a couple of times.
One moment I remember clearly was encountering an ice palace in the middle of the realm we were in. It wasn't much of an encounter but Tim did such a good job describing it, it still sticks we me today.
I remember the sacrifice as a zen moment. I seen this happen to players as well as myself. There is a moment with all the threads come together and you just KNOW what to do. The sacrifice was one of those moment. My death was made more shocking because I figured it out a step before everyone else. (Not the usual case for me as a player.)
My only regret was that this was a one-shot. The plot couldn't be anything else. However in a later campaign ran by Tim I got to reprise a slightly different Hawk but that is a different story.
So that my story of the best damn game I ever played.

Ok creativity does not take a break, it jumps at you from nowhere, sometimes in the most random times
Like in the shower or on a long road trip, you know when there is absolutely nothing you can do about it
So why the creativity break
You know, your sat at your desk, your boss or your client is down your neck or your firing blanks in the ideas meetings
You stare at a blank screen or paper, forcing your brain to come up with something
But it just relays the fact you got nothing.
So what do you do?
Get away from your desk and do anything other than think about the problem
Take a walk, exercise, take a weekend away and just dont think about the problem
But whatever you do, take a notepad and be ready to capture the ideas as they come
Because they will If you take a break from trying to find them
One word on the page, is worth a whole story planned in the head
– Michael Baldwin
A single action is better than an idea sitting in your head, a word on a page means you started the work, a single action means you did something more than most do, you took action.
Ideas overtime lose power, we lose interest and let the world distract us.
Any progress even if that is one single word on a piece of paper is better than one thought with zero action, because one word, leads to two,
Let’s look at it this way,
In the dating world, if you send a one word message ‘Hey’ for example, its better than not sending anything and at least you may get a reply…
The moral, just do something, anything as long as its not thinking about it
All a writer really has is experience
If you intend to write, start to get yourself some experience now
I get asked how I come up with content every day, I read a lot and I’m human so I have experiences
Experience, no matter what craft your in, helps you become better, even if the experience isn’t related
Experience can always be translated to something else and the lessons extracted
Whatever your craft, get some life experience

Sonny Boy was a crazy journey, but I attempt to count down my favorite episodes anyway. Does it work out? I don't know.
I take the time to count down my top 10 favorite episodes of Remake Our Life. If I have to think so hard about each episode already, I might as well list them.

I've recently tried to upgrade my laptop to the 2.6.10 kernel.
the problem is that every kernel I've built so far, at boot time, turns de screen all black. No text mode.
I tried dosabling the framebuffer, but it didn't do any good.
Anyone have a clue what the problem is?
If any of you have the .config kernel file for kernel 2.6.10 or kernel 2.6.9, could you send it to me?

Brain Fuck Scheduler
On 31 August 2009, Kolivas posted a new scheduler called BFS (Brain Fuck Scheduler). It is designed for desktop use and to be very simple (hence it may not scale to machines with many CPU cores well). Con Kolivas does not intend to get it merged into the mainline Linux. He has since begun maintaining the -ck patch set again.

Famous quotes containing the word brain:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)

John Marwood Cleese (//; born 27 October 1939) is an English actor, comedian, writer, and film producer. He achieved success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and as a scriptwriter and performer on The Frost Report. In the late 1960s he became a member of Monty Python, the comedy troupe responsible for the sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus and the four Monty Python films: And Now for Something Completely Different, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life.
In the mid 1970s, Cleese and his first wife, Connie Booth, co-wrote and starred in the British sitcom Fawlty Towers. Later, he co-starred with Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Python colleague Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. He also starred in Clockwise, and has appeared in many other films, including two James Bond films, two Harry Potter films, and three Shrek films.
Cleese was born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, the only child of Muriel Evelyn (née Cross) (b.1899), an acrobat, and Reginald Francis Cleese (b. 1893), who worked in insurance sales. His family's surname was previously "Cheese", but his father changed it to "Cleese" in 1915 upon joining the Army.
Cleese was educated at St Peter's Preparatory School, where he was a star pupil, receiving a prize for English studies and doing well at sports, including cricket and boxing. At 13 he received an exhibition to Clifton College, an English public school in Bristol. He was tall as a child and was well over 6 ft when he arrived there. While at the school he is said to have defaced the school grounds for a prank by painting footprints to suggest that the school's statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig had got down from his plinth and gone to the toilet. Cleese played cricket for the first team, and after initial indifference he did well academically, passing 8 O-Levels and 3 A-Levels in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
After leaving school, he went back to his prep school to teach science, English, geography, history, and Latin (he drew on his Latin teaching experience later for a scene in Life of Brian in which he corrects Brian's badly written Latin graffiti) before taking up a place he had won at Downing College, Cambridge, where he studied Law and joined the Cambridge Footlights. There he met his future writing partner Graham Chapman. Cleese wrote extra material for the 1961 Footlights Revue I Thought I Saw It Move, and was Registrar for the Footlights Club during 1962, as well as being one of the cast members for the 1962 Footlights Revue Double Take! He graduated from Cambridge in 1963 with a 2:1 classification in his degree. Despite his successes on The Frost Report, his father would send him cuttings from the Daily Telegraph offering management jobs in places like Marks and Spencer.
Cleese was one of the script writers, as well as being a member of the cast, for the 1963 Footlights Revue A Clump of Plinths, which was so successful during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that it was renamed Cambridge Circus and taken to the West End in London and then on a tour of New Zealand and Broadway, with the cast also appearing in some of the revue's sketches on The Ed Sullivan Show in September 1964.
After Cambridge Circus, Cleese briefly stayed in America, performing on and Off-Broadway. While performing in the musical Half a Sixpence, Cleese met future Python Terry Gilliam, as well as American actress Connie Booth, whom he married on 20 February 1968.
He was soon offered work as a writer with BBC Radio, where he worked on several programmes, most notably as a sketch writer for The Dick Emery Show. The success of the Footlights Revue led to the recording of a short series of half-hour radio programmes, called I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, that were so popular that the BBC commissioned a regular series with the same title that ran from 1965 to 1974. Cleese returned to England and joined the cast. In many episodes, he is credited as "John Otto Cleese".
Also in 1965, Cleese and Chapman began writing on The Frost Report. The writing staff chosen for The Frost Report consisted of a number of writers and performers who would go on to make names for themselves in comedy. They included co-performers from I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again and future Goodies Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor, and also Frank Muir, Barry Cryer, Marty Feldman, Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, Dick Vosburgh and future Python members Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. It was while working on The Frost Report, in fact, that the future Pythons developed the writing styles that would make their collaboration significant. Cleese and Chapman's sketches often involved authority figures, some of which were performed by Cleese, while Jones and Palin were both infatuated with filmed scenes that open with idyllic countryside panoramas. Idle was one of those charged with writing David Frost's monologue. It was during this period that Cleese met and befriended influential British comedian Peter Cook.
It was as an actual performer on the Frost Report that Cleese achieved his breakthrough on British television as a comedy actor, appearing as the tall, patrician figure on the classic class sketch, contrasting comically in a line-up with the shorter, middle-class Ronnie Barker and the even-shorter, working-class Ronnie Corbett. Such was the popularity of the series that in 1966 Cleese and Chapman were invited to work as writers and performers with Brooke-Taylor and Feldman on At Last the 1948 Show, during which time the Four Yorkshiremen sketch was written by all four writers/performers (the Four Yorkshiremen sketch is now better known as a Monty Python sketch). Cleese and Chapman also wrote episodes for the first series of Doctor in the House (and later Cleese wrote six episodes of Doctor at Large on his own in 1971). These series were successful, and in 1969 Cleese and Chapman were offered their very own series. However, owing to Chapman's alcoholism, Cleese found himself bearing an increasing workload in the partnership and was therefore unenthusiastic about doing a series with just the two of them. He had found working with Palin on The Frost Report an enjoyable experience and invited him to join the series. Palin had previously been working on Do Not Adjust Your Set with Idle and Jones, with Terry Gilliam creating the animations. The four of them had, on the back of the success of Do Not Adjust Your Set, been offered a series for Thames Television, which they were waiting to begin when Cleese's offer arrived. Palin agreed to work with Cleese and Chapman in the meantime, bringing with him Gilliam, Jones, and Idle.
Monty Python's Flying Circus ran for four seasons from October 1969 to December 1974 on BBC Television, though with only limited participation of Cleese in the last six shows. Cleese's two primary characterisations were as a sophisticate and a stressed-out loony. He portrayed the former as a series of announcers, TV show hosts, and government officials (for example, "The Ministry of Silly Walks"). The latter is perhaps best represented in the "Cheese Shop" and by Cleese's Mr Praline character, the man with a dead Norwegian Blue parrot and a menagerie of other animals all named "Eric". He was also known for his working-class "Sergeant Major" character, who worked as a Police Sergeant, Roman Centurion, etc. He is also seen as the opening announcer with the now famous line "And now for something completely different", although in its premiere in the sketch "Man with Three Buttocks", the phrase was spoken by Eric Idle.
Partnership with Graham Chapman
Along with Gilliam's animations, Cleese's work with Chapman provided Python with its darkest and angriest moments, and many of his characters display the seething suppressed rage that later characterised his portrayal of Basil Fawlty.
Unlike Palin and Jones, Cleese and Chapman actually wrote together—in the same room; Cleese claims that their writing partnership involved his sitting with pen and paper, doing most of the work, while Chapman sat back, not speaking for long periods, then suddenly coming out with an idea that often elevated the sketch to a different level. A classic example of this is the "Dead Parrot" sketch, envisaged by Cleese as a satire on poor customer service, which was originally to have involved a broken toaster and later a broken car (this version was actually performed and broadcast on the pre-Python special How To Irritate People). It was Chapman's suggestion to change the faulty item into a dead parrot, and he also suggested that the parrot be specifically a Norwegian Blue, giving the sketch a surreal air which made it far more memorable.
Their humour often involved ordinary people in ordinary situations behaving absurdly for no obvious reason. Like Chapman, Cleese's poker face, clipped middle-class accent, and imposing height allowed him to appear convincingly as a variety of authority figures, such as policemen, detectives, Nazi officers, or government officials—which he would then proceed to undermine. Most famously, in the "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch (actually written by Palin and Jones), Cleese exploits his stature as the crane-legged civil servant performing a grotesquely elaborate walk to his office.
Chapman and Cleese also specialised in sketches where two characters would conduct highly articulate arguments over completely arbitrary subjects, such as in the "cheese shop", the "dead parrot" sketch and "The Argument Sketch", where Cleese plays a stone-faced bureaucrat employed to sit behind a desk and engage people in pointless, trivial bickering. All of these roles were opposite Palin (who Cleese often claims is his favourite Python to work with)—the comic contrast between the towering Cleese's crazed aggression and the shorter Palin's shuffling inoffensiveness is a common feature in the series. Occasionally, the typical Cleese-Palin dynamic is reversed, as in "Fish Licence", wherein Palin plays the bureaucrat with whom Cleese is trying to work.
Though the programme lasted four series, by the start of series 3, Cleese was growing tired of dealing with Chapman's alcoholism. He felt, too, that the show's scripts had declined in quality. For these reasons, he became restless and decided to move on. Though he stayed for the third series, he officially left the group before the fourth season. Despite this, he remained friendly with the group, and all six began writing Monty Python and the Holy Grail; Cleese received a credit on episodes of the fourth series which used material from these sessions, and even makes a brief appearance in one episode as the voice of a cartoon in the "Hamlet" episode, though he was officially unconnected with the fourth series. Cleese returned to the troupe to co-write and co-star in the Monty Python films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, and participated in various live performances over the years.
From 1970 to 1973, Cleese served as rector of the University of St Andrews. His election proved a milestone for the University, revolutionising and modernising the post. For instance, the Rector was traditionally entitled to appoint an "Assessor", a deputy to sit in his place at important meetings in his absence. Cleese changed this into a position for a student, elected across campus by the student body, resulting in direct access and representation for the student body.
Cleese achieved greater prominence in the United Kingdom as the neurotic hotel manager Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers, which he co-wrote with his wife Connie Booth. The series won three BAFTA awards when produced and in 2000, it topped the British Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes. The series also featured Prunella Scales as Basil's acerbic wife Sybil, Andrew Sachs as the much abused Spanish waiter Manuel ("...he's from Barcelona"), and Booth as waitress Polly, the series' voice of sanity. Cleese based Basil Fawlty on a real person, Donald Sinclair, whom he had encountered in 1970 while the Monty Python team were staying at the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay while filming inserts for their television series. Reportedly, Cleese was inspired by Sinclair's mantra, "I could run this hotel just fine, if it weren't for the guests." He later described Sinclair as "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met," although Sinclair's widow has said her husband was totally misrepresented in the series. During the Pythons' stay, Sinclair allegedly threw Idle's briefcase out of the hotel "in case it contained a bomb," complained about Gilliam's "American" table manners, and threw a bus timetable at another guest after they dared to ask the time of the next bus to town.
The first series was screened from 19 September 1975 on BBC 2, initially to poor reviews, but gained momentum when repeated on BBC 1 the following year. Despite this, a second series did not air until 1979, by which time Cleese's marriage to Booth had ended, but they revived their collaboration for the second series. Fawlty Towers consisted of only twelve episodes; Cleese and Booth both maintain that this was to avoid compromising the quality of the series.
In December 1977, Cleese appeared as a guest star on The Muppet Show. Cleese was a fan of the show, and co-wrote much of the episode. He appears in a "Pigs in Space" segment as a pirate trying to hijack the spaceship Swinetrek, and also helps Gonzo restore his arms to "normal" size after Gonzo's cannonball catching act goes wrong. During the show's closing number, Cleese refuses to sing the famous show tune from Man of La Mancha, "The Impossible Dream". Kermit The Frog apologises and the curtain re-opens with Cleese now costumed as a Viking trying some Wagnerian opera as part of a duet with Sweetums. Once again, Cleese protests to Kermit, and gives the frog one more chance. This time, as pictured opposite this text, he is costumed as a Mexican maraca soloist. He has finally had enough and protests that he is leaving the show, saying "You were supposed to be my host. How can you do this to me? Kermit – I am your guest!". The cast joins in with their parody of "The Impossible Dream", singing "This is your guest, to follow that star...". During the crowd's applause that follows the song, he pretends to strangle Kermit until he realises the crowd loves him and accepts the accolades. During the show's finale, as Kermit thanks him, he shows up with a fictional album, his own new vocal record John Cleese: A Man & His Music, and encourages everyone to buy a copy.
This would not be Cleese's final appearance with The Muppets. In their 1981 movie The Great Muppet Caper, Cleese does a cameo appearance as Neville, a local homeowner. As part of the appearance, Miss Piggy borrows his house as a way to impress Kermit The Frog.
Cleese won the TV Times award for Funniest Man On TV – 1978 / 1979.
1980s and 1990s
During the 1980s and 1990s, Cleese focused on film, though he did work with Peter Cook in his one-off TV special Peter Cook and Co. in 1980. In the same year Cleese played Petruchio, in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew in the BBC Television Shakespeare series. In 1981 he starred with Sean Connery and Michael Palin in the Terry Gilliam-directed Time Bandits as Robin Hood. He also participated in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982), and starred in The Secret Policeman's Ball for Amnesty International. In 1985, Cleese had a small dramatic role as a sheriff in Silverado, which had an all-star cast that included Kevin Kline, with whom he would star with in A Fish Called Wanda three years later. In 1986, he starred in Clockwise as an uptight school headmaster obsessed with punctuality and constantly getting in to trouble during a journey to a headmaster's conference.
In 1988, he wrote and starred in A Fish Called Wanda, as the lead, Archie Leach, along with Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin. Wanda was a commercial and critical success, and Cleese was nominated for an Academy Award for his script. Cynthia Cleese starred as Leach's daughter.
Graham Chapman was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1989; Cleese, Michael Palin, Peter Cook and Chapman's partner David Sherlock, witnessed Chapman's death. Chapman's death occurred a day before the 20th anniversary of the first broadcast of Flying Circus, with Jones commenting, "the worst case of party-pooping in all history." Cleese's eulogy at Chapman's memorial service—in which he "became the first person ever at a British memorial service to say 'fuck'"—has since become legendary.
Cleese would later play a supporting role in Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein alongside Branagh himself and Robert De Niro. He also produced and acted in a number of successful business training films, including Meetings, Bloody Meetings and More Bloody Meetings. These were produced by his company Video Arts.
With Robin Skynner, the group analyst and family therapist, Cleese wrote two books on relationships: Families and How to Survive Them, and Life and How to Survive It. The books are presented as a dialogue between Skynner and Cleese.
In 1996, Cleese declined the British honour of Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). The follow-up to A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce Creatures—which again starred Cleese alongside Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Palin—was also released that year, but was greeted with mixed reception by critics and audiences. Cleese has since often stated that making the second movie had been a mistake. When asked by his friend, director and restaurant critic Michael Winner, what he would do differently if he could live his life again, Cleese responded, "I wouldn’t have married Alyce Faye Eichelberger and I wouldn’t have made Fierce Creatures."
In 1999, Cleese appeared in the James Bond movie, The World Is Not Enough as Q's assistant, referred to by Bond as "R". In 2002, when Cleese reprised his role in Die Another Day, the character was promoted, making Cleese the new quartermaster (Q) of MI6. In 2004, Cleese was featured as Q in the video game James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, featuring his likeness and voice. Cleese did not appear in the subsequent Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
2000 to present
Cleese is Provost's Visiting Professor at Cornell University, after having been Andrew D. White Professor-at-Large from 1999–2006. He makes occasional, well-received appearances on the Cornell campus, but he lives in the town of Montecito, California.
In 2001, Cleese was cast in the comedy Rat Race as the eccentric hotel owner Donald P. Sinclair, the name of the Torquay hotel owner on who he had based the character of Basil Fawlty.
In a 2005 poll of comedians and comedy insiders The Comedian's Comedian, Cleese was voted second only to Peter Cook. Also in 2005, a long-standing piece of Internet humour, "The Revocation of Independence of the United States", was wrongly attributed to Cleese.
In 2006, Cleese hosted a television special of football’s greatest kicks, goals, saves, bloopers, plays and penalties, as well as football’s influence on culture (including the famous Monty Python sketch “Philosophy Football”), featuring interviews with pop culture icons Dave Stewart, Dennis Hopper and Henry Kissinger, as well as football greats including Pelé, Mia Hamm and Thierry Henry. The Art of Soccer with John Cleese was released in North America on DVD in January 2009 by BFS Entertainment & Multimedia.
Cleese lent his voice to the BioWare video game Jade Empire. His role was that of an "outlander" named Sir Roderick Ponce von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard, stranded in the Imperial City of the Jade Empire. His character is essentially a British colonialist stereotype who refers to the people of the Jade Empire as "savages in need of enlightenment". His armour has the design of a fork stuck in a piece of cheese.
He also had a cameo appearance in the computer game Starship Titanic as "The Bomb" (credited as "Kim Bread"), designed by Douglas Adams. When the bomb is activated it tells the player that "The ship is now armed and preparing to explode. This will be a fairly large explosion, so you'd best keep back about 22 miles (35 km)". When the player tries to disarm the bomb, it says "Well, you can try that, but it won't work because nobody likes a smart-arse!"
In 2002, Cleese made a cameo appearance in the movie The Adventures of Pluto Nash in which he played "James", a computerised chauffeur of a hover car stolen by the title character (played by Eddie Murphy). The vehicle is subsequently destroyed in a chase, leaving the chauffeur stranded in a remote place on the moon.
In 2003, Cleese also appeared as Lyle Finster on the US sitcom Will & Grace. His character's daughter, Lorraine, was played by Minnie Driver. In the series, Lyle Finster briefly marries Karen Walker (Megan Mullally).
In 2004, Cleese was credited as co-writer of a DC Comics graphic novel entitled Superman: True Brit. Part of DC's "Elseworlds" line of imaginary stories, True Brit, mostly written by Kim Howard Johnson, suggests what might have happened had Superman's rocket ship landed in Britain, not America.
From 10 November to 9 December 2005, Cleese toured New Zealand with his stage show, John Cleese—His Life, Times and Current Medical Problems. Cleese described it as "a one-man show with several people in it, which pushes the envelope of acceptable behaviour in new and disgusting ways." The show was developed in New York with William Goldman and includes Cleese's daughter Camilla as a writer and actor (the shows were directed by Australian Bille Brown). His assistant of many years, Garry Scott-Irvine, also appeared, and was listed as a co-producer. It then played in universities in California and Arizona from 10 January to 25 March 2006 under the title "Seven Ways to Skin an Ocelot". His voice can be downloaded for directional guidance purposes as a downloadable option on some personal GPS-navigation device models by company TomTom.
In June 2006, while promoting a football song in which he was featured, entitled Don't Mention the World Cup, Cleese appears to have claimed that he decided to retire from performing in sitcoms, instead opting to writing a book on the history of comedy and to tutor young comedians. This was an erroneous story, the result of an interview with The Times of London (the piece was not fact checked before printing).
In 2007, Cleese appeared in ads for Titleist as a golf course designer named "Ian MacCallister", who represents "Golf Designers Against Distance".
On 27 September 2007, The Podcast Network announced it had signed a deal with Cleese to produce a series of video podcasts called HEADCAST to be published on TPN's website. Cleese released the first episode of this series in April 2008 on his own website, headcast.co.uk
In 2008, Cleese collaborated with Los Angeles Guitar Quartet member William Kanengiser on the text to the performance piece "The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha". Cleese, as narrator, and the LAGQ premiered the work in Santa Barbara.
2008 also saw reports of Cleese working on a musical version of A Fish Called Wanda with his daughter Camilla. He also said that he is working on a new film screenplay for the first time since 1996's Fierce Creatures. Cleese collaborates on it with writer Lisa Hogan, under the current working title "A Taxing Time". According to him, it is "about the lengths to which people will go to avoid tax. [...] It's based on what happened to me when I cashed in my UK pension and moved to Santa Barbara."
On 6 May 2009, he appeared on The Paul O'Grady Show. Cleese has also hosted comedy galas at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival in 2006, and again in 2009. He had to cancel the 2009 appearance due to prostatitis, but hosted it a few days later.
In March 2010 it was announced that Cleese would be playing Jasper in the video game "Fable III".
In 2009 and 2010, Cleese toured Scandinavia and the US with his Alimony Tour Year One and Year Two. In May 2010, it was announced that this tour would extend to the UK (his first tour in UK), set for May 2011 – The show is dubbed the "Alimony Tour" in reference to the financial implications of Cleese's divorce. The UK tour started in Cambridge on 3 May, visiting Birmingham, Salford, Liverpool, Oxford, Leeds, Edinburgh and finishing in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
In October 2010, Cleese was featured in the launch of an advertising campaign by The Automobile Association for a new home emergency response product. He appeared as a man who believed the AA could not help him during a series of disasters, including water pouring through his ceiling, with the line "The AA? For faulty showers?"
1960s to 1980s
Cleese met Connie Booth in the US during the late 1960s and the couple married in 1968. In 1971, Booth gave birth to Cynthia Cleese, their only child. With Booth, Cleese wrote the scripts for and co-starred in both series of the TV series Fawlty Towers, even though the two were actually divorced before the second series was finished and aired. Cleese and Booth are said to have remained close friends since.
Cleese married American actress Barbara Trentham in 1981. Their daughter Camilla, Cleese's second child, was born in 1984. He and Trentham divorced in 1990. During this time, Cleese moved from the United Kingdom to California.
1990s to present
On 28 December 1992 he married American psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger. In January 2008 the couple announced they had split. The divorce was settled in December 2008. The divorce settlement left Eichelberger with £12 million in finance and assets, including £600,000 a year for seven years. Cleese stated that "What I find so unfair is that if we both died today, her children would get much more than mine".
In April 2010, Cleese revealed on The Graham Norton Show on BBC One that he had started a new relationship with a woman 31 years his junior, Jennifer Wade. In this same show, he revealed that he is no longer a vegetarian, as he claimed to have enjoyed eating dog in Hong Kong.
During the disruption caused by the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 Cleese became stranded in Oslo and decided to take a taxi to Brussels. The 1500 km journey cost £3,300 and was completed with the help of three drivers who took shifts in driving Cleese to his destination where he planned to take a Eurostar passenger train to the UK.
Cleese has a passion for lemurs. Following the 1997 comedy film Fierce Creatures, in which the ring-tailed lemur played a key role, he hosted the 1998 BBC documentary In the Wild: Operation Lemur with John Cleese, which tracked the progress of a reintroduction of Black-and-white Ruffed Lemurs back into the Betampona Reserve in Madagascar. The project had been partly funded by Cleese's donation of the proceeds from the London premier of Fierce Creatures. Cleese is quoted as saying, "I adore lemurs. They're extremely gentle, well-mannered, pretty and yet great fun... I should have married one."
Cleese turned from christianity to atheism. Today, he is no longer an atheist and is now a believer in reincarnation. Source is here: http://articles.sfgate.com/2004-02-09/bay-area/17412586_1_fawlty-towers-basil-fawlty-monty-python-s-flying-circus
Currently a member of the Liberal Democrats after previously being a Labour party voter, Cleese switched to the SDP after their formation in 1981, and during the 1987 general election, Cleese recorded a nine minute party political broadcast for the SDP-Liberal Alliance, which spoke about the similarities and failures of the other two parties in a more humorous tone than standard political broadcasts. Cleese has since appeared in broadcasts for the Liberal Democrats, in the 1997 general election and narrating a radio election broadcast for the party during the 2001 general election. In April 2010, Cleese tweeted his support for the Lib Dems after Nick Clegg performed strongly in the first leaders' debate on ITV1, stating: "Well, well, well. First leaders debate, and LibDems do so well. Good luck to them."
In 2011, Cleese declared his support for Britain's coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, saying: "I think what’s happening at the moment is rather interesting. The Coalition has made everything a little more courteous and a little more flexible. I think it was quite good that the Liberal Democrats had to compromise a bit with the Tories." He also criticised the previous Labour government, commenting: "Although my inclinations are slightly left-of-centre, I was terribly disappointed with the last Labour government. Gordon Brown lacked emotional intelligence and was never a leader." Cleese also declared his support for proportional representation.
In April 2011, Cleese revealed that he had declined a life peerage for political services in 1999. Outgoing leader of the Liberal Democrats, Paddy Ashdown, had put forward the suggestion shortly before he stepped down, with the idea that Cleese would take the party whip and sit as a working peer, but the actor quipped that he "realised this involved being in England in the winter and I thought that was too much of a price to pay."
Cleese expressed support for Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, donating US$2,300 to his campaign and offering his services as a speech writer. He also criticised Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin—saying that "Michael Palin is no longer the funniest Palin"— and wrote a satirical poem about Fox News commentator Sean Hannity for Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

- In 2003, John Cleese took part in Mike Oldfield's re-recording of the 1973 hit Tubular Bells, Tubular Bells 2003. He took over the "Master of Ceremonies" duties in the ‘Finale’ part, in which he announced the various instruments eccentrically, from the late Vivian Stanshall.
- Cleese recorded the voice of God for Spamalot, the musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- Cleese narrated the audio version of C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters.
- In the mid 1980s, Cleese starred in British advertisements for Compaq computers and Schweppes beverages.
- In the late-1990s, Cleese appeared in a set of poorly-received commercials for the UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's. Around the same time, his Fawlty Towers co-star, Prunella Scales, appeared in more well-received commercials for rival chain Tesco.
- He has enunciated a set of directions for the TomTom in-car navigation system. This allows itself humorous notes at non-critical moments, for instance when asking for a U-turn and when signing off: "I'm not going to carry your baggage—from now on, you're on your own" and "Bear right..Beaver left."
- He plays the voice of Samuel the Sheep in the 2006 adaptation of Charlotte's Web. Samuel repeatedly tells the other sheep to be individuals, not sheep. This is a reference to Monty Python's Life of Brian.
- He has a speaking part at the end of the Alan Parsons song "Chomolungma" from the album A Valid Path.
- In 2008, John Cleese appeared in a humorous TV commercial in Poland advertising a bank loan.

- An asteroid, 9618 Johncleese, is named in his honour.
- Cleese declined a CBE (Commander of The British Empire) in 1996.
- There is a municipal rubbish heap of 45 metres (148 ft) in altitude that has been named Mt Cleese at the Awapuni landfill just outside Palmerston North after he dubbed the city "suicide capital of New Zealand".

In the current issue of AMSTAT News (American Satistical Association) the President’s letter is focused on Statistical Consulting and W. Edwards Deming. He makes a good point, echoing those others have been making for quite some time:
The Curious Cat Management Improvement library offers the following articles related to Statistical Consulting:
- Redesigning the Introductory Statistics Course by Ronald D. Snee and Roger Hoerl
- The Next 25 Years in Statistics by William Hill and William Hunter, Feb 1986
(with contributions by Joseph W. Duncan, A. Blanton Godfrey, Brian L. Joiner, Gary C. McDonald, Charles G. Pfeifer, Donald W. Marquardt, and Ronald D. Snee). A transformation of the American style of management has already begun; in order for it to succeed, statisticians must assume a leadership role.
- Youden Memorial Address – 2000 by Geoff Vining, Oct 2000
“The basic theme for my talk today is that Jack Youden is an appropriate role model for today�s industrial statisticians. Jack Youden was someone who appreciated the fundamental role statistics can play in industry.”

My hard drive just died last night in my Macbook, so I had to put in an old hard drive to get going again. I don't have much that I want on the drive, but there are a few things I wouldn't mind getting off it. I've tried connecting it via external usb drive enclosure, with no luck. This leads me to believe that I need to take the drive to a professional to get it done. Here's my problem. All of the ones I've seen in my area (Vancouver, BC) they say around 400 dollars for under 130 gigs, but anything higher is usually double that. That's far more than I care for this data, as quite a lot was backed up. Does anyone know of a low cost alternative? Does Best Buy do this kind of thing, or some other stores, or am I stuck going to a professional and paying an arm and a leg? Thanks.

This article explains how to convert a Unix timestamp to a readable date in a Talend Job.
This procedure was written with:
Talend verified this procedure to be compatible with:
A Unix timestamp is a series of numbers such as 13959.583,1330578363. As you can see, it is quite unreadable. This procedure explains how to convert it to a readable date or map it to the target system format.
Assume we have the following Unix timestamp in a file:
13959.583 1356854 1330578363
Create a demo Job called ConvertUnixTime. The detailed Job settings can be seen below:
Execute the Job. The following results are output to the console:

Oliver, a student from North Norfolk, looks into whether intensive farming is the right way to produce our food. Oliver talks to Richard, a farmer who uses chemicals to help grow vegetables, mainly to control diseases, insects and weeds. Richard believes it is impossible to feed the UK population without using some chemicals. Next Oliver meets Joe, a carrot farmer who runs an organic farm. Joe describes the advantages of organic farming and explains why growing without chemicals makes his carrots more expensive than those produced on intensive farms. Finally, Oliver meets a plant expert, who looks at both sides of the argument.
This clip is from the BBC series Geography: The Big Issues. The series follows the investigations of six students into some challenging geography topics such as fracking, coastal erosion and intensive farming.

This could be used as part of a research project into food production and the challenges of feeding the world’s population. Students could identify inputs into each type of farm visited. Students could look at different examples mentioned in other parts of the world to compare them. Students could also take it further and look at issues of increasing competition for space and even more innovative approaches to farming like hydroponics and vertical farming.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Geography at KS3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 3rd and 4th Level (S1/S2/S3) in Scotland.

I’m working on a simple project to mine an iTunes Library file and present the information to the user. This is mostly just an extended experiment with bindings. I’ve managed to link my NSArrayController so that my tableView displays the names of playlists correctly. Each playlist is an MJPlaylist object with name and NSMutableArray tracks ivars.
My second column is a count of the songs in each playlist. I have not been able to get @count to work for me despite any number of strange setups. I realize that I can simply place a countTracks method in my MJPlaylist class, but it seems as if there would have to be a way to accomplish this with bindings.
You can d/l my project at http://.res-hall.northwestern.edu/files/RMT.zip (about 70k). Note that if you want it to work, make a copy of your ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml and make sure it is in the same location as the original and named “iTunes Music Library Copy.xml”
I’d appreciate any help you could offer. I’d paste code here, but as it’s a bindings issue it may be easier to simply look at.
Your zip file seems corrupt.
Just tested it with 2 others, the zip worked fine for them. Give it another try and let me know.
Change your controller key for the tracks column to “arrangedObjects”, not “selection”. You’re saying ‘for reach row in this column, show the selected row’s @count.tracks’ which of course is wrong. You want to say ‘for each row in this column, show THIS ROW’S @count.tracks’. You want the arrangedObjects key, not the selection key.
That makes perfect sense. However, when I make that change I get the following message:
2005-05-10 12:08:31.799 Rate My Tunes An uncaught exception was raised
2005-05-10 12:08:31.799 Rate My Tunes [<MJPlaylist 0x695c3e0> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key @count.
2005-05-10 12:08:31.800 Rate My Tunes *** Uncaught exception:
Why is my @count method being sent to the MJPlaylist class instead of to the NSMutableArray iVar in that class?
Look here: tracks = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:trackArray forKeys:keyArray];
You’re misunderstanding the use of an array versus a dictionary here. Your playlist object’s -tracks returns an array (appropriately). An individual track object contains the data (which stands in for a dictionary in this case). You want to ask the array object for its @count. You’re creating a *dictionary of track objects …. bizarrely, I might add. ;-) Just stop before that and set your playlist’s -tracks to trackArray and forget about the dictionary.*
Here is where things get a bit convoluted. In the case above, I’m actually setting up the tracks ivar of my AppController. The crazy setup is actually an outcropping of how iTunes keeps track of playlist items in the first place. The entire set of tracks is stored as a dictionary of dictionaries (with each song’s info encapsulated in a dictionary). Playlists hold an array of dictionaries. In this case, the dictionaries in the playlist arrays have as their only value the key for a track in the master listing of tracks (the dictionary of dictionaries).
Looking at my code, I think I’m still correctly setting the tracks ivar of my MJPlaylist (it ends up just being an array of dictionaries). Ultimately, it is a count of the tracks array in each MJPlaylist that I am after. So, although you’re right that it’s an odd setup, I think the issue is somewhere else. Though, I’m definitely no expert.
If you’re trying to directly modify and re-save the XML file, then I can see how keeping that structure is easier for you, however, this will *not work with bindings as-is. If what you are manipulating is an array of dictionaries. The array being your playlist’s -tracks property and the dictionaries being your individual tracks. You could always go more abstract and forget about the custom class for each track - just go with strict KVC ([myTrackDictionary valueForKey:@”rating”], etc.). But you’ll have to pick one or the other. I strongly recommend going back over the subject of CocoaBindings - you’re not quite getting the point, though you’re on the right ‘track’ (pun intended).*
As someone still starting out I’ll definitely try to become more familiar with all the resources there. I’ve been trying to pick up Bindings piecemeal, which is probably not the way to do it ;-) If you can forgive my ignorance, would you mind giving me a quick explanation as to why what I’m trying to accomplish won’t work as-is? I figured with my object controller using an array of playlists and the songs controller set to the key-path of playlists that I’d be able to send @count.track to the array represented by tracks….But please, have at it and let me know the error of my ways!
The only thing I can do is tell you to read about CocoaBindings. Anything I say here would be a complete repeat of things that have been written many other times in many different places. ;-) Not trying to be rude, but I just don’t have the drive to reinvent the wheel. Follow the link to CocoaBindings and read what’s on this site. Also look for Mmalc’s bindings examples - very helpful (zip’d source and xcode project included so you can have a look in IB). If you’re having trouble with a technology you’re trying to use and have little understanding of the technology, it’s a good indicator that you really need to learn the technology before attempting to use it to make something useful. Without spending a whole lot of time looking over your code line-by-line (which I currently have so little time to do for my own projects), it’s hard to give you the magic statement that clears it all up for you - and you’ll learn nothing. Seriously - dig into bindings, it’s time well spent.
Will do! Thanks for the help!

I am attempting to connect to the database via C# code like:
When attempting to run my report no data is returning, however when I embed the exact same connection string within the report itself and run the report from my code the data is returned. It appears that the connection string is not being used when passing it via the code method, I am using 2020.5.1 and will only be upgraded to the later version at the end of the year, early next.report.Dictionary.Databases.Clear();
report.Dictionary.Databases.Add(new StiSqlDatabase("Connection", _configuration.GetConnectionString("ConnString")));
Please advise what could be going wrong.

Hello Mr.Dev, I was wondering what a good beginner race/class combo would be? common sense would say whatever swings the heaviest weapon and takes the most hits, but I wanted your opinion first. Thank you for developing such an awesome and free RL!
Caverns of Xaskazien II
A downloadable game
In conjunction with its predecessor, Caverns of Xaskazien II has been in development since 1995. It is a completely playable game, but will continue to receive free updates for the foreseeable future.
- A rich, graphical game, with loads of animation and dynamic, coloured per pixel lighting.
- An exclusive orchestral soundtrack created for the game by professional film scorer, Dave Coleman.
- A full sound environment with close to 1000 unique sound effects, volume keyed to the source’s distance from your character.
- An intuitive keyboard and mouse interface.
- An easy to understand UI that ensures all information any player could want on any topic is only a mouse hover away.
- 300 visually distinct monsters, each with a dozen+ variants (including named boss types), and robust AI that differs by monster intelligence level. Summoning and Charm methods allow you to raise your own monstrous army to fight for you, too.
- Merchants and NPCs to deal with, as well, each of which can run afoul of the monsters, just like you.
- More than a hundred unique booby traps for the unwary, most of which may be set by players to ensnare monsters, too.
- 125 base weapons and 75 base armour pieces, each with thousands of possible enchantment combinations and legendary variants.
- Hundreds of unique magic items, mundane items, potions, scrolls, staves, wands, rods, food items, etc.
- More than 200 unique spells.
- Play as either sex in any combination of 38 Classes and 13 Races, and customize your character as you see fit through the upgrading of both Attributes and Skills.
- A new Religion system in which you vie for the affections of dozens of gods and goddesses, and where you can devote yourself exclusively to one of 13 different religions.
- Procedurally generated dungeons utilizing multiple methods of generation to create caves, structured areas, labyrinths and even forests, supplemented by occasional pre-generated dungeons called Legendary Lands.
- Hundreds of unique environmental features to interact with and use to your tactical advantage (or detriment).
- Both random and scheduled special Events to mix up gameplay.
- A comprehensive user's manual in the docs folder.
- All for the low, low price of free
For the game: Download, unzip, run the .exe. (Alternatively, read the manual in the docs folder or the readme file in the main folder, first. That's what I'd do).
For any new patch: Download, place the new zip file in your main Caverns of Xaskazien 2 folder and unzip it. Answer yes to copying over any previous files it asks about. The updated game should then run normally.
Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
I usually randomize everything, to be honest. I would avoid anything with low starting health for a beginner. So no elvish assassins, say. Maybe a Dwarven Warrior? Pretty basic.
P.S. I'm working on a massive new update. It's been slow going, but in addition to adding more content and gameplay improvements than any previous updates, it also fixes a couple of critical bugs. I'll get it out ASAP!
I download Caverns of Xaskazien 2 Ver. 0.78.94 and when it 91% get error
Hmmm... Not sure what would cause this. There's been about 500 downloads and you're the first to mention. Have you tried more than once with the same result?
Linux port possible?
I wouldn't even know how, in truth. If it's a simple process and someone can direct me to info on that process, perhaps.
I there a way to prevent yourself from attacking monsters? I don't like accidentally killing monsters that are faster than me that will make my god angry but it keeps happening.
There are ways to minimize the risk, but no way to just not fight. You can unequip your weapon before encountering them, to ensure you do less damage if you do hit. You can keep your distance where possible (especially from Animal intelligence monsters, as they won't generally approach if you don't get close). You can take steps to discourage them from chasing you like Confusing or Paralyzing them... that's about it, at present.
Might be a neat idea to add a toggleable "Pacifist" button or something where you can turn off your side of the fight, though. Never occurrred to me before. I'll look into it.
Thanks for the idea. I've implemented a new key/button that toggles on or off your swinging at enemy monsters, so you can turn off your side of the combat if you're engaging a monster you don't want to kill (though they'll keep hacking at you). Will be include in the next upload in a couple days.
Sounds awesome! Would it be too much to make a per monster configurable option or something? So maybe for example its default settings are set not to kill monsters in the categories which your god will hate you for killing?
Interesting idea. Hadn't considered it. At present, it'll just be a toggleable option. Won't have time to implement something more complete before the next release. I'll bear it in mind for later.
Scratch what I said. It was too good an idea to pass up, so I've implemented it. You can now toggle your Combat State to Fight, Don't Fight, or Selectively Fight, and can select specific monster types to add or remove from your Selectively Fight list at any time. While set to Selectively Fight, you won't swing at any monster types you've specified in the list. The game defaults to Selectively Fight, with any monsters your deity would prefer you not to kill automatically chosen. (It also defaults to adding Golems to this list, since you won't be able to hurt them in combat at start of game, and trying will just wear down your weapon, though you can remove them or any other monster types from the list at any time).
This stuff seems amazing, but there's a few things I wanna talk about.
1) IMO, fonts are quite bad. I know that it's stylized like this, but it makes stuff much harder to read, for me at least.
2) Why you can move only in 4 sides? Why not use classic 8-sides movement system on numpad which is used in most of roguelikes?
3) Bar buttons should be down here, not on the right side., in my mind. Also, if you moved them, you could make them larger.
4) Why not add high-res suppor instead of making it 1280x720? I mean, yeah, it's in long time development, but...
Anyway, don't take this like I didn't liked the game! It still seems amazing for me, especially when it's so full of different content. I really like it, and hopefully it will be worked on more!
Hey, Fenos. Thanks for the comments. In specific response:
1) The fonts initially used in the game were a deliberate attempt to match (as closely as I could) the fonts I'd used in the original Caverns. However, a lot of people complained that they were hard to read, so it now defaults to something much easier to read (at least in most instances), with the option to toggle back to the gothic fonts if a player wishes. The character creation menu still uses stylized fonts for the large lettering, because the feedback I was getting was that at that scale everything remained legible, even in that style. But if enough people raise this as an issue, I'll switch the fonts on that page, too. Wouldn't be too tricky an issue to address, I don't think. In terms of changing the "new", smaller font (the one I already switched to to make things legible), if that was also deemed hard to read, the one problem would be that since screen co-ordinates remain absolute, and there's finite room to print things in the supplied text boxes, I would have to find something that remained pixel perfect in alignment with the old font. If a printed sentence grew even one or two pixels longer as a result of changing fonts, it could mess up all outputted text and take dozens of hours to realign everything manually (if that was even possible).
2) Initially movement was in all 8 directions for player and monsters. But I hated allowing either to move diagonally between walls or other impassable obstacles (where wall corners abutted, for instance). Imposing the restriction there ended up being a pain in the ass programming-wise, but even more so in gameplay, because players were getting confused as to why they couldn't do so, so I culled it back to 4 directions, and I've since grown used to it in game. I've been playing some Moria lately, and I'll admit when first coming back to Caverns it was jarring for me to have only 4 directional movement, but it wore off quickly, so changing it isn't a high priority. Players who aren't used to roguelikes also find the 4 directional movement easier to grasp, so there's an upside.
3) Not sure what you mean by "Bar buttons" or "down here." If you mean the clickable buttons to change sidescreen tabs, that's the only screen real estate available where they won't overlap anything important. At the bottom of the screen they would need either impinge on the view screen or the Situation Panel. Are those the buttons you're referencing?
4) When I first abandoned Caverns in favour of starting Caverns 2 (in 2010) I was still using a 4:3 monitor. I had recently programmed another tile based game called "The Zombie Nightmare of Fillibree County" and it used 1024*768. Since this was a marked improvement over the original Caverns' 640*480, I just went with it. Today I'm working on a 4K monitor and if I could go back in time, I'd make a different choice. But, cards on the table, I'm not a savvy enough coder to know how to allow players to choose their resolution. And I suppose there may well be some players still out there with 4:3 monitors, so 1024*768 might not be the worst choice... And further cards on the table, screen positions are hard coded - i.e. the game checks absolute X,Y coordinates for the mouse and places things at hard coded specific X,Y coordinates, etc. Changing the resolution now, even just to a new, single specified resolution, would mean months of work. And since the graphics aren't going to be scalable, it would really yield little fruit. Unless I get around to programming COX 3 in 10 or 20 years, this one almost certainly won't change.
Glad you're enjoying the game! The one thing I can promise is even more content... in time.
Just want to say thank you!

|
code

This page features the creation of the most basic examples of a Customizable Object. These examples consist in the set up of a base character, with its skeletal mesh and material.
The following examples don’t have customizable elements but are the base structure for more complex examples explained in other pages.
The resulting Customizable Objects of this page will be ready to create Customizable Object Instances from them.
- One material asset or material instance without any parameter (it can have textures but not converted to parameters)
- One skeletal mesh with only one material Slot
- The first step for this example is to create a Customizable Object asset inside Unreal Engine. You can check the Basic Concepts page on how to do this.
The Customizable Object asset in the Unreal Engine Content Browser. In this example, the Customizable Object asset is named "TestMarc_Basic_Object"
- Double-click the Customizable Object asset to open the Mutable Editor.
- Inside the Customizable Object, a Reference Skeletal Mesh must be set. You can set it in the Object Properties tab, under Customizable Object. This mesh will be used as reference for Unreal Engine settings (such as skeleton, volumes, shadow properties, etc).
In this example, the Reference Skeletal Mesh used is "BaseObject_SingleMaterial"
- Name the Base Object node in the Graph Node Properties tab. Leave the rest of the parameters as default.
In this example, the node is named "Base Object"
- Create a Material node. To do it you can click and drag the "LOD 0" connection from the Base Object node to any empty space in the graph and then writing "Material" in the contextual menu.
The Material node is now connected to the Base Object node
- Set a material asset or a material instance to the Material node. To do this, select the Material node and set the material in the Graph Node Properties tab.
In this example, "BaseObject_NoParam" has been used
- Create a Skeletal Mesh node.
- With the Skeletal Mesh node selected, set a skeletal mesh in the Graph Node Properties tab.
In this example, "BaseObject_SingleMaterial" has been used
- The Skeletal Mesh node should have been updated and now it incorporates two slots. Link the "Unnamed Material Mesh" to the"Mesh" connection of the Material node.
- Compile the Customizable Object by clicking on the Compile button in the top bar of Mutable Editor.
The resulting mesh in the Preview Instance Viewport tab
The result of this example is a Customizable Object ready to have its own Instances. As there are no customizations or parameters created, the object has the same visual result as the source skeletal mesh with the assigned material asset.
When working with material assets or material Instances which have parameters, the parameters are shown in the Material nodes. In this example, a Material node is set with a material instance with a base color texture parameter.
- One material asset or material instance with a texture parameter
- One skeletal mesh (in this case, it has assigned the material instance used in the example)
- Create a new Customizable Object.
- Inside Mutable Editor, set a Reference Skeletal Mesh in the Object Properties tab.
In this example the mesh is "BaseObject_SingleMaterial_Param".
- Name the Base Object node.
In this example it is called "Material with parameter".
- Create a Material node and connect it to the Base Object node.
- Set the material asset with the parameter in the Material node in the Graph Node Properties tab. The parameter should now appear as a new soft blue connection in the Material node.
In this example, the material asset used is "BaseObject_Param". This material has a parameter called "Base Color" which appears in the Material node.
- Create a Skeletal Mesh node.
- Set a skeletal mesh in the Skeletal Mesh node in the Graph Node Properties tab. If the source skeletal mesh set has a material asset with a parameter assigned, Mutable detects it and shows its parameter as a new connection in the Skeletal Mesh node. This connection can be used to get the parameter value from the assigned material from the source skeletal mesh. Link its mesh connection to the Material node's one.
In this example, the skeletal mesh is "BaseObject_SingleMaterial_Param".
The source skeletal mesh has a material asset assigned. The material has one parameter called "Base Color".
- Connect the "Base Color" connection of the Skeletal Mesh node to the "Base Color" connection of the Material node. Compile the Customizable Object.
This example gets the value for the "Base Color" parameter from the value in the source skeletal mesh material.
As the Material node has a connection from the parameter of the set material, it can be now connected to other nodes to change its value. In this bonus example, another texture is set as "Base Color".
- From the "Base Color" connection in the Material node, create a Texture node.
- With the Texture node selected, set a texture value in the Graph Node Properties tab.
In this example, the texture selected is a color bar called "BaseObject_Colorful".
- Compile the Customizable Object.
The resulting mesh with the new texture value.
In case a skeletal mesh used in a Customizable Object has more than one material, the Skeletal Mesh node will detect it and set its inner connections with its values. In this case, there must be one Material node for each material used. Any number of Material nodes can be connected from the Base Object node.
The following image shows the most basic example of this. A Customizable Object with a skeletal mesh with two materials.
Once the skeletal mesh is set in the Skeletal Mesh node, the node is updated with its material connections. In this case, there are two materials without any parameters
The resulting mesh. Notice that the character now have eyelashes.

Today, I will certainly respond to all there is you require to understand, supplied that you are a blogger or a business owner who is trying to find a webhosting, and also does not recognize where to begin, since it’s a terrific service for that target market in general.
Allow’s picture, you wish to hold your sites as well as make them visible. Okay?
You already have your domain name (which is your website destination or LINK) but now you intend to “turn the lights on”. Bluehost Got A Non-200 Status: 503 –
You require some holding…
To achieve every one of this, as well as to make your site visible, you need what is called a “server”. A server is a black box, or gadget, that saves all your web site data (files such as photos, messages, video clips, web links, plugins, and also various other details).
Currently, this web server, has to be on regularly as well as it needs to be linked to the web 100% of the time (I’ll be discussing something called “downtime” later on).
Additionally, it additionally requires (without obtaining also fancy and also right into details) a file transfer protocol typically referred to as FTP, so it can reveal internet browsers your website in its desired type.
All these points are either expensive, or require a high level of technical skill (or both), to develop as well as maintain. And also you can completely head out there and also find out these points on your own and set them up … however what concerning as opposed to you buying as well as maintaining one … why not just “leasing holding” rather?
This is where Bluehost can be found in. You rent their servers (called Shared Hosting) and you introduce a site making use of those web servers.
Because Bluehost keeps all your documents, the business likewise allows you to set up your content monitoring systems (CMS, for brief) such as WordPress for you. WordPress is an extremely prominent CMS … so it simply makes sense to have that choice offered (practically every holding company currently has this option too).
Simply put, you no more require to set-up a web server and after that incorporate a software application where you can develop your material, independently. It is already rolled right into one bundle.
Well … envision if your server is in your residence. If anything were to take place to it in all, all your documents are gone. If something fails with its internal processes, you need a specialist to repair it. If something overheats, or breaks down or obtains damaged … that’s no good!
Bluehost takes all these headaches away, and deals with everything technical: Pay your server “rental fee”, and they will certainly care for whatever. And also once you get the solution, you can then begin concentrating on including content to your website, or you can place your effort into your advertising and marketing projects.
What Provider Do You Receive From Bluehost?
Bluehost supplies a myriad of various services, however the key one is hosting naturally.
The holding itself, is of various kinds by the way. You can rent out a common server, have a devoted web server, or likewise a virtualpersonal server.
For the function of this Bluehost testimonial, we will concentrate on holding solutions and also other solutions, that a blog owner or an on-line entrepreneur would certainly need, as opposed to go unfathomable right into the rabbit opening and speak about the other solutions, that are targeted at more experienced folks.
- WordPress, WordPress PRO, and e-Commerce— these holding services are the plans that allow you to organize a web site using WordPress and also WooCommerce (the latter of which enables you to do shopping). After acquiring any one of these packages, you can begin developing your website with WordPress as your CMS.
- Domain Industry— you can additionally purchase your domain from Bluehost rather than other domain registrars. Doing so will make it easier to point your domain name to your host’s name servers, considering that you’re utilizing the very same industry.
- Email— once you have actually acquired your domain, it makes sense to also obtain an email address connected to it. As a blog owner or on-line entrepreneur, you need to virtually never ever use a totally free e-mail service, like Yahoo! or Gmail. An e-mail like this makes you look unprofessional. Luckily, Bluehost gives you one totally free with your domain.
Bluehost likewise offers specialized servers.
And you may be asking …” What is a devoted web server anyhow?”.
Well, the thing is, the basic host plans of Bluehost can just a lot traffic for your internet site, after which you’ll require to upgrade your organizing. The factor being is that the usual servers, are shared.
What this implies is that a person server can be servicing two or more internet sites, at the same time, among which can be your own.
What does this mean for you?
It means that the single server’s sources are shared, and it is doing multiple tasks at any type of provided time. When your internet site begins to hit 100,000 site sees monthly, you are going to require a specialized web server which you can likewise receive from Bluehost for a minimum of $79.99 monthly.
This is not something yous must fret about when you’re starting out but you need to maintain it in mind for certain.
Bluehost Rates: How Much Does It Expense?
In this Bluehost evaluation, I’ll be focusing my attention generally on the Bluehost WordPress Hosting bundles, since it’s one of the most preferred one, and likely the one that you’re searching for which will suit you the best (unless you’re a huge brand name, company or site).
The 3 offered strategies, are as follows:
- Fundamental Strategy– $2.95 per month/ $7.99 regular rate
- Plus Strategy– $5.45 per month/ $10.99 regular price
- Option Plus Plan– $5.45 per month/ $14.99 routine price
The initial cost you see is the price you pay upon sign up, and the second cost is what the price is, after the first year of being with the business.
So basically, Bluehost is going to bill you on a yearly basis. And you can additionally select the quantity of years you wish to organize your site on them with. Bluehost Got A Non-200 Status: 503 –
If you pick the Standard plan, you will pay $2.95 x 12 = $35.40 beginning today and by the time you enter your 13th month, you will certainly currently pay $7.99 each month, which is also charged per year. If that makes any sense.
If you are serious about your internet site, you ought to 100% get the three-year choice. This suggests that for the standard plan, you will certainly pay $2.95 x 36 months = $106.2.
By the time you hit your 4th year, that is the only time you will certainly pay $7.99 each month. If you consider it, this method will conserve you $120 throughout three years. It’s very little, however it’s still something.
If you intend to get greater than one website (which I highly advise, and if you’re major, you’ll most likely be obtaining even more eventually in time) you’ll wish to use the option plus plan. It’ll enable you to host limitless sites.
What Does Each Plan Deal?
So, when it comes to WordPress holding plans (which resemble the common organizing plans, yet are extra tailored towards WordPress, which is what we’ll be concentrating on) the features are as follows:
For the Fundamental plan, you get:
- One site just
- Guaranteed internet site via SSL certification
- Optimum of 50GB of storage space
- Free domain for a year
- $ 200 marketing debt
Bear in mind that the domain names are bought independently from the hosting. You can get a totally free domain with Bluehost right here.
For both the Bluehost Plus hosting as well as Choice Plus, you get the following:
- Limitless number of websites
- Free SSL Certificate. Bluehost Got A Non-200 Status: 503 –
- No storage or transmission capacity limit
- Totally free domain for one year
- $ 200 advertising credit scores
- 1 Workplace 365 Mail box that is cost-free for thirty days
The Choice Plus strategy has an included benefit of Code Guard Basic Back-up, a back-up system where your documents is saved and also duplicated. If any type of crash takes place and also your site information goes away, you can recover it to its initial type with this attribute.
Notice that even though both strategies cost the same, the Choice Plan after that defaults to $14.99 per month, regular cost, after the set amount of years you’ve chosen.
What Are The Perks Of Using Bluehost
So, why pick Bluehost over various other host services? There are numerous host, most of which are resellers, however Bluehost is one select few that have actually stood the test of time, and it’s most likely one of the most well known out there (and also completely reasons).
Here are the 3 main advantages of selecting Bluehost as your webhosting service provider:
- Server uptime— your internet site will certainly not show up if your host is down; Bluehost has greater than 99% uptime. This is exceptionally essential when it pertains to Google SEO and positions. The greater the much better.
- Bluehost speed— just how your web server feedback determines how rapid your site reveals on a web browser; Bluehost is lighting quickly, which means you will certainly minimize your bounce rate. Albeit not the best when it comes to loading speed it’s still widely crucial to have a fast rate, to make individual experience far better and also much better your ranking.
- Limitless storage— if you get the And also strategy, you need not bother with the number of data you keep such as video clips– your storage space capability is unrestricted. This is really vital, because you’ll probably face some storage concerns in the future down the tracks, and also you don’t want this to be a hassle … ever.
Finally, consumer support is 24/7, which suggests regardless of where you remain in the globe, you can speak to the support group to repair your site concerns. Pretty basic nowadays, yet we’re taking this for given … it’s also very vital. Bluehost Got A Non-200 Status: 503 –
Additionally, if you have actually obtained a complimentary domain with them, after that there will certainly be a $15.99 cost that will certainly be subtracted from the amount you originally acquired (I picture this is due to the fact that it type of takes the “domain out of the market”, not exactly sure concerning this, however there possibly is a hard-cost for registering it).
Last but not least, any kind of demands after one month for a reimbursement … are void (although in all sincerity … they must most likely be rigorous right here).
So as you see, this isn’t always a “no doubt asked” policy, like with a few of the various other hosting alternatives around, so be sure you’re all right with the policies before continuing with the hosting.

Re: Categorical Models of Linear (and other) logics
* What are categorical models of logics good for?
1. They help us understand term assignment systems for these logics.
2. They help us prove results about our logics, as we can use CT.
3. We can show that our favourite logic corresponds to some
already-found structure in category theory, and hence, our
logic gets brownie-points for being `natural.'
4. The category (or class of categories) we are interested in
is the *intended model* for our logic.
Are any of these answers correct? If so, which of them?
Linear logic is a *resource sensitive* logic: premises may be supplied
only on a need-to-know basis, as with relevance logic. However LL goes
a step beyond R in insisting that premises be supplied *in proportion
to* demand (linearity): a premise used twice must be supplied twice.
I must leave the defense of your 1-3 to others, they are beyond my
ken. My entire interest in LL is via 4. The connection between
resource sensitivity (understood as a purely proof-theoretic
phenomenon) and categorical models is that resource sensitivity is the
proof-theoretic manifestation of algebraic structure, specifically of
the kind compromising cartesian closedness, such as constants (pointed
sets) and binary operations (semigroups). Such structures are the rule
rather than the exception in mathematics, whence logic should by
default be resource sensitive. The exceptional cases, where the
neighborhood of the category is sufficiently pure as to be cartesian
closed, are marked in LL with ! to indicate where accounting for
resources may be turned off.
So why is traditional logic not resource sensitive? It seems to me
that this is primarily the result of a long-standing distinction
between "logical" and "nonlogical." "Logical" has traditionally meant
"pure" in the sense of "prelinguistic:" the pure first order predicate
calculus leaves its relation symbols uninterpreted, whence the
individuals constituting its domain of discourse form merely a set with
no structure or properties. But Set is cartesian closed, and so this
characteristic is inherited by the pure predicate calculus.
One might suppose that the nonlogical symbols and axioms of a theory
would force resource sensitivity. However first order logic does not
respect the structures implicit in those symbols and axioms, in that it
allows n-ary operation symbols on a universe X to be interpreted as
arbitrary functions from X^n to X subject *only* to the theory. There
is no requirement that anything commute with anything. Thus even when
first order logic seems to be describing groups it never really leaves
the category Set.
Linear logic turns straw-sucking stick-at-home traditional logic into a
jet-setting traveler that can move from sets to semilattices, vector
spaces, Boolean algebras, and most other familiar mathematical
objects. This "movement" is on the one hand transformational---one
moves between vector spaces via linear transformations---and on the
other proof theoretic---one moves between propositions via proofs.
The connection between these is made via the Curry-Howard isomorphism,
which interprets objects (types) as propositions and morphisms (which
in normal mathematics are homomorphisms or structure-preserving
operations between objects) as proofs.
For more discussion of categorical models of linear logic, see my
PhysComp'92 paper, Linear Logic for Generalized Quantum Mechanics,
ftp://boole.stanford.edu/pub/DVI/ql.dvi.Z. It treats quantum logic and
compares it with Girard's phase semantics as a nonconstructive model of
linear logic. Next comes a section motivating constructive logics,
taking the defining characteristic of constructivity to be *how* a
theorem follows from its premises in contrast to merely *whether* it
does. Then two categorical models of linear logic are treated,
coherence semantics and event space semantics, and interpreted as
constructive quantum logics. It is then argued that such constructive
logics of quantum mechanics expose certain aspects of quantum
mechanics, such as the measurement process and Heisenberg uncertainty,
in a way that does not seem possible with nonconstructive logics such
as Birkhoff and von Neumann's quantum logic. QL is little more than a
nonconstructive logic of projective geometry, and its place in quantum
mechanics is roughly comparable to the place of Boolean logic in
My forthcoming LICS paper, "The Stone gamut: A coordinatization of
mathematics," paints a rather larger picture of this situation in which
a sizable segment of "concrete mathematics," including but by no means
limited to all models of first order logic, is characterized as a
single homogeneous model of linear logic---homogeneous in the sense
that topological spaces, semilattices, vector spaces, distributive
lattices, locales, and so on are all mingled freely together in the one
large but pleasantly structured categorical model of linear logic. It
seems to me that this esthetically pleasing picture of "math in the
large" offers a more convincing justification of linear logic than
methodological arguments from proof theory. I suppose this makes me
something of a Platonist, my emphatic protestations to the contrary on
That concurrent behavior and quantum behavior can be simultaneously
linked into the same picture might seem like gilding the lily. However
the concurrent behavior connection was the route by which I arrived at
this view of things, so it would be a bit unfair of me to deny this
connection after the fact.

Every ecosystem has a limited amount of water…..
Limiting factors LIMIT the size of a population.
Moisture is often a limiting factor forplants. Ex: here, each tree thrives in a different amount of moisture.
Examples: on the size of each other’s populations.
An increase in the zebra population = an increase in the lion population
Conversely, a decrease in the zebrapopulation = a decrease in the lion population
Also an increase in the lions= a decrease inzebras which would cause a decrease in the lions too!
very effective Diseases have always been an effective limiting factor on human populations
The Bubonic plague killed over half of Europe’s population. The fictional “Crippen Virus” in “I amLegend” was over 90% fatal to the human population. Diseases have always been an effective limiting factor on human populations

This site is a small blog/journal detailing my experience with coding in various technologies like Python (more precisely Django), SwiftUI, NodeJS, Nextjs, Svelte, Golang and PHP 8. It mostly serves as a way to highlight my journey in understanding how to code something useful using these new technologies.
I am not a professional developer (my background is in law) so don't expect too much 😁. This said I have been around web development for a long time: as an entrepreneur I feel that it is crucial to understand new technologies.
This blog has been initially coded in nodejs using polka -- an interesting alternative to the ubiquitous express but has now been ported to Django because I like 🐍 Python syntax a bit more and the "all batteries" included of an opinionated framework works well for me.
Feel free to visit the Apps section to try some of my apps!
What about the photos? The photos used randomly in this blog are Historical Photos «Vues de la suisse» by Adolphe Braun & Cie. provided by the Swiss National Museum: In the middle of the 19th century Jean Adolphe Braun inspired the imagination of the European bourgeoisie with his photos. From the 1850s onwards, more and more people had the financial means to travel. However, very few people had their own photographic equipment, so they bought photographs on site. Soon a flourishing business with pictures and photo albums emerged. The company Braun & Cie was led by Jean Adolphe Braun and his son Gaston in Mulhouse, Alsace, and specialized in landscapes and cities. Their pictures of Switzerland spread throughout Europe and shaped the country's tourist image. As a "by-product", they also documented the emergence of infrastructure in the Alps.

Trying with just the IP instead of the dns name, also failed.

So, after boot, I checked for a /tmp/test file but found none. So, it looks like it's not got to do with some bad option, or the network not being available or the credential file not being available or something like that, but actually the binary used to mount cifs shares is not even called during boot. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to the forums
Yes in most games your CPU definitely holds your GPU back,upgrading to a quad core(like Q9550 if you want to keep your motherboard) will give you a decent boost in performance
at 1080p the 6850 is really a bare minimum. Sure some games run better with a faster CPU, but getting the 6850 for that res is a wise choice regardless what cpu you have. I would even spend some extra on a 6870 for that resolution. You can overclock the snot out of e7400's with a good cooler, so i would do that before upgrading the cpu.
Actually,the CPU limits the performance especially in games that benefit from a quad core CPU such as most RTS games or titles like GTA IV etc. So OC'ng the CPU or getting a quad core CPU will definitely help

I have to read a file and write into another but after a specific word occurs something like hi. How can i do any help please.
Well, something along the lines of:
Now, that's a rough outline, and it skips details such as how you find the word in a line (what if it's in another word?) and whether you have to write out "half a line" if the word occurs in the middle of the line. However, it should be enough to get you started. If you have problems with any of the steps, please give more details so we can help you further.

I am new to Python (I am getting out of PHP because of how increasingly broken it is), and I am racing through porting my old code. One thing:
How can I have it such that I can do:
Such that the publisher launches bar() and then I can access the URL to obtain /a1/a2/... All I get is Forbidden :) (I don't want to use mod_rewrite on everything)
Oh, im on 2.5.2 Thanks in advance
UPDATE: The ideal solution would be for the publisher to launch the furthest-right resolution in the URL it can, and simply make a1/a2/a3.. accessible through the apache module. Maybe a combination of an apache directive and publisher?
SOLVED (ish): The answer of the magic call() method and so on is juicy! Although I think I will modify the publisher or write my own to inspect objects in a similar way using furthest-right matching, then allowing the furthest-right to access the URL using apache module. Thanks all!

What Preston-Werner would be doing if he didn't run GitHub
At yesterday's PandoMonthly, an audience member asked the golden ticket question: What idea would GitHub CEO Tom Preston-Werner develop if he wasn't already running a quickly growing company?
Preston-Werner had made it clear earlier that this was pretty much the first time in his life he was no longer in the market for side projects, given his 11-month-old son and several hundred million dollar company. But if he were in the market, he said that near field communication was a huge opportunity, if Apple could only figure that out.
You've probably heard the bullish case for NFC before. But probably not quite like Preston-Werner explained it... He even suggests a company name.
For all you budding entrepreneurs out there looking for new start-up ideas, you're welcome.

Seeing Stats: The Art of Data Visualization
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 06:00 AM
Many scientists have no trouble conjuring rich images in their heads just from scanning columns of data. For the rest of us, it's essential to turn that data into something we can relate to more easily.
This is where the designers of scientific visualizations come in. Using models enriched with colors and contours, they endeavor to translate the meaningful points of huge collections of data into images that morph as the inputs change, bringing time into the equation and allowing us to watch a scenario unfolding.
As computing power has grown, so has the ability of designers to generate sophisticated visual animations. Huge databases of information can be crunched to render scientifically accurate models. A program under the Department of Energy called Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) aims to advance work in physics, mathematics, environmental, and biological sciences by using super-powerful computers to take some of the abstraction out of the work of exploring the world around us. Chalkboards may still have a role in scientific discovery, but computer-generated visualizations are an important new tool in the box.
At this summer's SciDAC conference, an awards night recognized some of the year's most effective data visualizations for scientists. A gallery of the winning visualizations can be found at the SciDAC website.
The winner of the People's Choice award went to a team at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Using the Supercomputer's simulation of an 8.0 earthquake along the San Andreas fault, they portrayed the strongest ground motion as the white tips of peaked cones traveling along the leading edge of the earthquake rupture.

|
code
|
Security filters can be difficult beasts at the best of times, especially when it comes to the interaction of multiple filter rows / multiple filters (I glaze over on reading the DBAG statement that “a filter that defines a more detailed dimension combination list takes precedence over a filter with less detail”). In this post I’m going to discuss a particularly confusing behavior involving the interaction of calculation privileges with filter access. I’m not the first to discover or comment on the following phenomenon, but I don’t think it’s been written up comprehensively. The DBAG entry for filters certainly doesn’t make any mention of it, which seems like an oversight.
First, I’ll create a simple read-access filter on Sample.Basic, and assign the filter to user ‘Test1’.
create filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast read on '@DESCENDANTS("East")'; grant filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast to user Test1;
Although I generally prefer to use MDX to query Essbase for this type of exercise, I do appreciate Smart View’s cell styles feature which visually identifies intersections with different levels of access. In these examples, I’ll use the orange color to show read-access cells, and green to show write-access cells. Here’s a retrieve performed by user Test1:
As expected – read-access to @DESCENDANTS(“East”), and #No Access everywhere else. To put it another way, the ‘background’ access level for a user granted a read-access filter is #No Access.
Now I’ll try the exercise again, with a write-access filter1. I’ll revoke the originally granted filter first – not strictly necessary, but makes absolutely clear that the ReadEast filter no longer applies.
alter user Test1 revoke filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast; create filter Sample.Basic.WriteEast write on '@DESCENDANTS("East")'; grant filter Sample.Basic.WriteEast to user Test1;
Perform the retrieve:
Notice that Test1 now has write-access (indicated by the green cells) to @DESCENDANTS(“East”), but the background access level to the remainder of the cube is still #No Access.
Add a Calculation
When a user has write-access to a database, it’s very common to require calculation access too. I’ll create a very simple calculation script, and grant execute privileges to Test1:
create calculation Sample.Basic.Test1 'CALC ALL;'; grant execute Sample.Basic.Test1 to user Test1;
Now I’ll re-run my read-access and write-access filter tests:
alter user Test1 revoke filter Sample.Basic.WriteEast; grant filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast to user Test1;
As soon as the user is granted execute privileges on a calc in the database, the background access level is changed to write, and the region specified by the read filter is now more restrictive (read-only)! For completeness, I’ll test again with the ‘write’ filter:
alter user Test1 revoke filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast; grant filter Sample.Basic.WriteEast to user Test1;
The write filter achieves nothing in this scenario, since Test1’s background access level already permits writing to every cell in the database.
What I find especially nasty about this behavior is that calculation execute privileges might be granted to a user long after the filters have been defined and tested successfully. Granting execute privileges on a specific calculation doesn’t remove filter associations, and there’s no intuitive link between granting access to one or more calculations scripts and modifying a user’s cell-level access.
What’s the Solution?
Fortunately, there is a simple solution; explicitly make the background access level for the entire cube #No Access, by adding an additional row to each filter. It doesn’t actually matter which dimension is selected for the NONE row; the slice defined covers the entire database. I’d suggest choosing the smallest sparse dimension, if only because my instinct is that this will have the smallest performance impact:
alter user Test1 revoke filter Sample.Basic.WriteEast; create filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast none on '@IDESCENDANTS("Product")', read on '@DESCENDANTS("East")'; grant filter Sample.Basic.ReadEast to user Test1;
My recommendation is that the NONE line be considered mandatory when filters are created, because it removes the filter’s vulnerability to unexpectedly changing behavior with the addition (or removal) of execute calculation privileges. This could easily be done by an unsuspecting administrator, years down the line. I would be less bothered by this possibility if it didn’t have the potential to grant write access.
There’s a good earlier discussion of the problem here on Network54. When I ran into it recently, I remembered the thread, but (worryingly) didn’t remember that it was me that had the problem the first time around…
- As an aside, notice that filters are happily not subject to the eight-character name limit that applies to Essbase artifacts that exist as individual files or directories. ↩

This was weird, because I couldn't understand why I was losing at first. I guess it's just too hard of a game. Silly me, I thought I had gone through all of the evolution games here. Well, it's kind of sad to think about all the trillions of cells you'll have to go through to get that done. I guess this is why I'm not a scientist. It didn't seem to have any music.
Granted, I don't think music would have made it much better, but it would still be nice. At least everything is presented in a very clear cut manner. It doesn't really need more detail. I guess I'm frustrated with it because I think it should be easier. I guess people who are better at this game should enjoy it.

This proposal was prepared in collaboration with @Tjark – thank you very much for all your feedback and input.
Otterspace Badges provide DAOs with a new, non-financial coordination primitive to enable richer interactions and a more nuanced model of participation.
We are live with our private Beta on Optimism and are already used by Bankless DAO, Radicle DAO, Krause House, Cabin DAO, Token Engineering Academy, Cow DAO, Logos DAO, and many others.
Have 3 mins? Here’s a short Tweet explaining the product (including product screenshots): https://twitter.com/otterspace_xyz/status/1580517702581395456
Otterspace is building a flexible and easy-to-use interface for DAOs to use non-transferable NFTs, which we call Badges. Badges can enable DAOs to perform non-financialized governance (with Snapshot), automate access rights & permissions (with Guild & Collab.Land), manage community-specific reputation/credentials, and create better incentive systems. Badges can be easily designed and issued to members via our App interface. Through our API endpoint, members can also be automatically added to an allowlist programmatically. The protocol supports badge revocation, expiry and reinstatement, so the community is able to respond to bad actors.
We are co-authoring a token standard specifically for non-transferable tokens (EIP 4973) on top of which we are building an open protocol. Our interface allows DAOs to use the protocol quickly without writing code, while the api and protocol enable custom implementations for DAOs with specific requirements.
You can use Otterspace to:
- Create non-transferable Badges
- Set Badge expiry
- Issue claimable vouchers to members
- Revoke Badges
- Use Badges in Snapshot governance
- Use Badges for token-gating with Guild.xyz and Collab.Land
Use Otterspace to create non-transferable Badges for your teams out of an EOA or Safe multi-sig.
Set an optional expiration date to allow the season member Badge to expire at the end of the quarter.
Add members to the Badge mint list so they can mint with consent. Otterspace Badges cannot be non-consensually airdropped.
The community can revoke (deactivate) Badges, so a member can no longer vote on Snapshot or access resources once their tenure has ended or if they have abused their role.
View the community’s Badge collection on the community page.
Use Badges for governance on Snapshot, either standalone or alongside an ERC20 or other token. Sybil-resistant (through human attestation), non-financial governance.
Badge-gate your Discord or Telegram channels with Guild. Make Badges the source of truth for your DAO roles & structure.
- Lack of structure around the organizational framework paired with lack of autonomy for individual teams.
PoolTogether can use Badges as a means of
- Distributing influence and responsibility based on roles and reputation
- Addressing plutocracy
- Distinguish between and curate different teams in the DAO
- Use social recognition as an incentive
#1 Distributing Influence
Badges can be distributed and held by members of PoolTogether based on their role and participation, which may hold additional governance rights and access permissions. By doing so, the DAO can distribute influence among participants in a more nuanced way by allocating $POOL held by the treasury and delegating that to Badge holders (this step would go beyond the pilot phase; the groundwork for the delegation will be laid in Phase 1-3 as outlined below). With this distribution, both coin holders and badge holders can participate in the same governance process. Badges can be used to grant a “boost” in governance power to stakeholders with low token allocations, for example.
#2 Governance across sub-groups
Voting with Badges is one way to coordinate and reach consensus across stakeholder groups. For example, sub-spaces can be set up within Snapshot for various teams or stakeholder groups. These spaces can be configured such that only holders of a specific Badge can participate in proposals. This is a further way to decentralize and distribute the influence over specific types of decisions. Badges can also be a means of measuring reputation within various guilds, which could be used to further delegate governing power in a more dynamic fashion.
Badges can also be used to manage access permissions, for example by automatically granting Discord roles to holders of a badge. The Otterspace team is also investing in integrations with decentralized project management and knowledge management tools including Clarity, Charmverse, Discourse, Wonder, and DeWork.
Thanks goes to @Tjark, who helped flesh out concrete use cases in this section!
Set up an initial pilot use case to test how Badges could work in practice. Before success of the implementation can be proven, the Otterspace team suggests running a testing implementation on Optimism to save transaction costs. Otterspace will cover the minting costs on Optimism by airdropping ETH on Optimism to the relevant team for further distribution. After successful implementation has been proven in Phase 2, the implementation will move to Mainnet for Phase 3.
Pilot Phase 1 – Participate in an onboarding workshop (1 week)
- The relevant Pool Together team will participate in a cohort-based workshop where we walk you through the process of implementing badges in your DAO. This includes org design & contributor mapping, badge architecture and badge design. Badge architecture also includes considerations of deciding how much influence (voting power) a Badge should hold and which teams would receive additional influence.
Pilot Phase 2 – Create Badges for sub-orgs (1 week)
- After completing the workshop, the relevant team distributes Badges to relevant members and contributors.
Pilot Phase 3 – Use Badges for distribution of influence (2 weeks)
- After Badges have been distributed, downstream integrations will be set up and Badges will be used within gating and governance tooling.
Measures of Success
- Come up with a concrete step plan on how to distribute influence, including the weights for each respective team
- All team members that were added to the allowlist successfully minted their badge
- PTIP to allocate $POOL for delegation to Badges
- Permissions management for teams is fully automated in at least 2 downstream integrations (i.e. Guild & Snapshot)

The optional SOP Classes address functionality beyond that of the Print Management Meta SOP Classes. One or more optional SOP Classes may be used in addition to the Print Management Meta SOP Classes.
The following functionality is supported by the optional SOP Classes:
annotation (text associated with a sheet of film)
tracking the printing of the print session
retrieval of printer configuration information
Use of these optional SOP Classes allows an SCU to provide information to be printed with or on an image without burning the information into the image pixels. If these optional SOP Classes are not supported by both the SCU and SCP, then only the information burnt in to the image pixels before they are sent to the SCP will be printed. If the optional SOP Classes are not supported, the SCU is responsible for burning all expected text or graphics into the image pixels.
The following optional SOP Classes may be used in conjunction with the Basic Print Management Meta SOP Classes specified in Section H.3.2.2.
|SOP Class Name||Reference||Usage SCU/SCP|
|Basic Annotation Box SOP Class||H.4.4||U/U|
|Print Job SOP Class||H.4.5||U/U|
|Presentation LUT SOP Class||H.4.9||U/U|
|Printer Configuration Retrieval SOP Class||H.4.11||U/U|
Note: Negotiation of the Presentation LUT SOP Class does not imply any behavior in the SCP. Behavior is explicit when the Presentation LUT SOP Class is created and referenced at either the Film Session, Film Box, or Image Box levels.

About Secure Shell Terminals
Typically, terminal connections to remote UNIX hosts use the TELNET protocol. TELNET, however, presents several vulnerabilities that an attacker can exploit to gain access to sensitive data in transit over the network. Not only can attackers view the data to acquire secret login information, for example, but they can also alter and reroute the data.
When you install Connectivity Secure Shell alongside HostExplorer, you gain the option of creating Secure Shell-enabled HostExplorer VT session profiles. You can then use these session profiles to launch secure VT sessions, which are tunnelled through the Secure Shell protocol instead of using unsecured TELNET connections.

Test Availability Exceptions
In the past, some faculty have used the password option to make a test available to individuals after the official test-taking period has ended, or, in course sites that include both graduate and undergraduate students, to make sure only the grad students launch the grad exam and only undergrads take the undergrad exam. The Test Availability Exceptions feature makes it easier to manage this sort of situation. Even better, Availability Exceptions make it possible to extend the time limit on an exam to individual students with disabilities.
To set an availability exception, first click the ADD USER OR GROUP button.

Resource hints are snippets of HTML code that give the browser a head start by prompting selected files to begin loading sooner than if the browser discovered those same files through the normal course of evaluating and loading the page.
There are several types of resources hints, indicated with the
rel attribute on the
link element, each with a unique potential role in improving load time. Web browsers may also limit the number of domain/network connections made with resources hints, so resource hints should be used sparingly and purposefully.
A DNS lookup is the process of turning a human-friendly domain name like
example.com into the machine-friendly IP address like
184.108.40.206 that is actually needed in order to fetch a resource. For this process to happen it can take tens to hundreds of milliseconds.
We suggest using this on things such as Google fonts, Google Analytics, and your CDN.
But if you’re loading resources from other sites onto the page, the browser must spend time resolving the DNS information of each as it encounters them in the HTML. You can preempt this process by placing a
dns-prefetch for external sites in the
head of your page.
<!-- Prefetch DNS for external assets --> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.googleapis.com"> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//www.google-analytics.com"> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//cdn.domain.com">
When the browser encounters this hint, it can start resolving the
www.google-analytics.com domain name as soon as possible, even though it doesn’t know how it’ll be used yet. This enables the browser to get ahead of the game and do more work in parallel, decreasing the overall load time.
Use dns-prefetch when your page uses resources from a different domain, to give the browser a head start.
dns-prefetch, preconnect goes further in the process of connecting to third-party domains and includes any needed security protocol(TLS negotiations, TCP handshakes). This in turn eliminates roundtrip latency and saves time for users.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://example.com">
In most cases,
preconnect is preferable to
dns-prefetch but isn’t supported by older web browsers. If desired, they can be used together, getting the benefit of
preconnect in browsers that support it with a fallback to
<link href="https://www.jvm.com" rel="preconnect" crossorigin>
preconnect when you know for sure that you’re going to be accessing a resource and you want get ahead.
Be careful not to
preconnect and then not use the connection, as this will both slow your page down and tie up a tiny amount of resource on the server you connect to too.
preconnect make the initial network connection, preload takes the process yet further and also downloads a specific file. This is ideal for resources that are important to the initial display of the page but not directly referenced in the HTML.
For example, images that appear in above the fold content but are indirectly called for in a CSS file (rather than directly in the HTML like an
img tag) are perfect candidates for
Rather than waiting for the browser to analyze the HTML, download the CSS, analyze the CSS and then load the image referenced in the CSS,
preload tells the browser to load the image right away.
Required Content Type
preconnect only need the
preload is a bit more complicated and adds the as attribute, which indicates the content type. Common
<link rel="preload" href="assets/web-fonts/DMSans-Regular.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>
Preload is a new web standard for loading resources for the current page, these can be script, style, image, font and document types.
Optional File Format
preload can also accept the
type attribute to specify the MIME type of the file. For files that may not be supported by all browsers, the optional
type attribute prevents browsers that don’t support a particular file format from downloading it at all.
<link rel="preload" as="video" type="video/webm" href="intro-video.webm">
preload speed up loading resources that are needed as soon as possible,
prefetch is a lower priority version of
preload that downloads files very likely to be needed in the near future.
prefetch is typically used for files that will be needed on a page the user is likely to visit next.
prefetch is a low priority resource hint that allows the browser to fetch resources in the background (idle time) that might be needed later, and store them in the browser’s cache.
This example triggers a low priority download of the CSS styling for a page frequently visited after the current page:
<link rel="prefetch" as="style" href="blog.css">
prerender works like
prefetch, but loads an entire page and all of its dependent files in the background.
<link rel="prerender" href="blog.html">
When To Use Each Type Of Resource Hint
Resource hints should be used purposefully and strategically to streamline the loading process. A quick review of how and when to use each type of resource hint:
preconnectare for high priority but indirectly-called third-party domains like CDNs or external plugins.
preloadis for high priority but indirectly-called files like above-the-fold CSS background images.
prefetchis for low priority files very likely needed soon, like HTML, CSS or images used on subsequent pages.
prerenderis for an entire page that’s a very likely subsequent navigation.
Points To Remember
preconnectreference just the domain name, like
prefetchreference a specific file, like header-logo.svg.
prerenderreferences an entire page, like
preconnectshould also be used sparingly as some web browsers may limit the number of preemptive connections.
prerendershould be used with care to avoid downloading files that aren’t used, which can be costly on mobile networks. Avoid using
prerenderunless files are certain to be used later or extra data download isn’t an issue.
- Resource hints for font files (even when self-hosted) and CORS enabled resources will also need the
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>

I need to arrange for a limited number of our desktop engineers to be able to add printers to our 2K3 SP2 DCs.
I've tried a few things with no success.
1. Created separate AD group and placed new group as member of Print Operators
2. Amended the permissions on HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors on each of the DCs to allow Print Operators full control.
3. Changed domain delegate control so that new AD group has full control over print objects
And whenever those users try to add a printer they're still immediately told on double clicking "Add Printer" that they don't have sufficient rights to add printers to <dc name>.
Any ideas where to look from here?

When I was a teenager, I published a video game. It even got a bit of distribution in the kind of free CD-ROMs you used to find tucked into enthusiast magazines. A few people emailed me. Then, I kind of forgot about it.
One of my servers recently died. As I was cleaning it up and copying over the important bits, I found the old code archives for this game – and I paused to give it a look, not unlike the way you’d flip through a photo album you found while cleaning out a closet.
The thing is, the game was pretty good. While I’m not exactly proud of the code, it’s nowhere near as badly written or organized as I thought. I’d written gobs of documentation. The game design was unique, and the graphics were good (but by modern standards, very tiny; I was designing for a 640×480 screen).
I didn’t even know that open source was a thing at the time; I’d released the game as vaguely-worded “freeware” and posted links to the code. (It’s now GPL).
Spiked is 17 years old. It was written for the old MacOS (pre MacOS X). It requires two people to sit down and compete using the same keyboard. But it’s a thing I made, finished, and published – and that’s pretty cool. The least I can do is give it a small breath of life and write about it; and post the source code on GitHub where it will be (somewhat) immune to bitrot.
In honor of my younger self, I give you part of the original Spiked documentation I wrote in 1997.
Spiked 2.1 is a two-player arcade game of cunning, physics, and brute force. One player pilots a green ship, the other player a red ship. There is a horrible, nasty spike that floats around the screen (hence the name of the game, eh?) The only way to die is to touch the horribly, nasty spike. The game follows the gladiator paradigm: the player who walks away alive, wins. So, spike your opponent and achieve victory. Each player starts with three lives. A match lasts between 1-5 minutes, about the attention span of your average computer game player.
The game plays in a straightforward fashion. The players, the spike, and other items are dumped into a closed arena. Everything interacts with everything else according to the laws of physics. If you bump into your opponent, he/she WILL fly backwards. You can even move the spike if you shove it hard enough (of course, it has 200 times the mass of a player, so it can take a while to build up its momentum). A simple strategy would be to get your opponent between you and the spike, and then you accelerate towards your opponent to shove him/her into the spike. Unfortunately, your clever opponent will probably just move and you will find yourself kissing the spike, which is bad for your health.
Lots of other things float about the arena. Rocks are massive and basically just get in the way. Ram them to move them. Once in a while, a rift in space opens and deposits either a new rock or a gift.
Gifts make Spiked interesting. These little packets ‘o goodness just float around, waiting to be picked up before they either blow up or are pushed off the edge of the screen. Inside the gift you will find a useful item which can be used to either attack your opponent or get yourself out of a scrape.
At the top of the screen, you will find an icon representing your ship’s currently selected item. The default item is bullets. At any time, you can press your specified “Use Item” key to either shoot or invoke that item. Or, if you have other items in your inventory, you can cycle through your items to select the item you wish to use. It is always a good idea to build up a small arsenal of items which you use to hunt down and eliminate your opponent or to save your own sorry skin. The items are:
- Bullets. Each ship is equipped with a small cannon that shoots bullets a short distance. You have infinite bullets, but all they do is push things out of the way. Bullets also destroy gifts, and rocks if you hit ’em enough.
- Cannonball. This item is really cool. It moves very quickly and shoves things aside. Try blasting your opponent into a spike with one of these! Cannonballs are also a great way to eliminate annoying rocks.
- Twister. This nasty item prevents whatever object it hits from accelerating. When you hit your opponent with a twister, a energy field clogs their engines, leaving them helpless . Take advantage of them and gently nudge them into a spike. Another use of twisters is to stop gifts which would otherwise float away.
- Gravitron. Be careful with this toy. You shoot forth a tremendous ³lasso² that drags whatever it hits towards you. This can be really cool if you attach the gravitron to your opponent so that they are dragged into a spike. Of course, if you attach a gravitron to a spike, then the spike will start chasing you and you will probably die. Pity.
- Speeder. When you invoke a speeder, you rocket forward in whatever direction you are pointed. This provides you with a way to hammer your opponent or to escape.
- Rockyspiker. If this hits a rock then the rock turns into a rockyspike; or, if it hits a rockyspike, the rockyspike turns back into a rock. A rockyspike is like a spike in that it kills things, but is has far less mass and the rockyspike will blow up if it hits the real spike.
- A new life. You don’t use this gift. You just pick it up. I’ve noticed that people are more than willing to die to pick up a new life, which seems rather odd…
So there you have it. A 2-player game where the strategy is to manipulate an environment using the physics of randomly presented items. It was written in C++, painstakingly animated frame-by-frame to plug into a 2-d sprite library for which I simulated all the physics, for a now-defunct operating system.
Not bad, much-younger-me. I need to live up to your example.

My method is similar to the "Focus on one digit per time" ones, but with a few added tricks. The important thing here is that the you can receive 2 hints per guess: How many digits you guessed correctly, and if the number is higher or lower than what you guessed. With those information, you can skip a few steps when guessing.
My method goes like this (complicated explanation version, example comes later):
Start with 20000 (30000 also works). Your focus is to figure if the first digit is 1 (dealer will say it's lower), 2 or 3 (dealer will say it's higher, it seems that numbers can only go up to 33000 and something).
If it says higher and warp you to a room, guess 30000 next to confirm if the first digit is 2 (lower) or 3 (higher).
Now guess 5 for the 2nd digit (15000, 25000 or 350000).
If the number of digits that you got right increased, then you already found the 2nd digit.
If it didn't, then check if the number is higher or lower than your guess.
If it's higher, guess 7 (17000 or 27000). If it's lower, guess 3 (13000, 23000 or 33000). Now comes the important part. There's a chance you already have 2nd digit here (even without increasing the number of correct digits). Here's how:
For example, if you guessed 7 and dealer said it's lower, then you know the 2nd digit is 6 (example: 25000 -> dealer says higher -> 27000 -> dealer says lower). This works because you now know the number is between 25000 and 27000, so the 2nd digit can only be 5 or 6. But since you didn't get the 5 in 25000 as a correct digit, then it can only be 6.
If you guessed 7 and dealer said higher again, then you check if you moved a room up.
If you moved a room up, then the 2nd digit is 7.
If you didn't move a room up, then the 2nd digit can't be 7, so guess 9 (19000 or 29000). At this point, the only alternative are dealer saying the number is lower (then digit is 8) or higher and moving you up a room (then digit is 9).
Now repeat this process for the other digits.
Sounds complicated, right? I think I would have trouble understanding my own explanation too. So let's try an example:
I first guess 20000. Dealer says it's higher and I'm warped to room 1.
I guess 30000. Dealer says it's lower and I'm not warped. Number is 2XXXXX.
I guess 25000. Dealer says it's higher and I'm warped to room 1.
I guess 27000. Dealer says it's lower and I'm warped to room 1. Number is 26XXX (between 25000 and 27000, but 2nd digit can't be 5 since I was still on room 1 on the previous step).
I don't need to guess 26000 since I have confirmed the 2nd digit already. So I guess 26500. Dealer says it's lower and warps me to room 2. Number is 26XXX (below 26500 and above 26100, since I know the 3rd digit can't be 0 since it was never pointed as correct before).
I guess 26300. Dealer again says it's lower and warps me to room 2. So Number is between 26100 and 26299.
I guess 26100 (I could guess 26200 too, but guessing 26100 is useful if you know there's a 0 somewhere). Dealer says it's higher and warps me to room 3. Number is 261XX (since I was warped to room 3 instead of 2).
I guess 26150. Dealer says it's lower and warps me to room 3.
I guess 26130. Dealer says it's lower and warps me to room 3.
I guess 26100. Dealer says it's higher and warps me to room 3. Number is 2612X (I know it's between 26100 and 26130, but since I'm still on Room 3, then the 4th digit can't be 1).
Again, I don't need to guess 26120. So I guess 26125. Dealer says it's higher and warps me to room 4.
I then guess 26127 and 26129 and pay attention to dealer saying if it's higher or lower. If dealer says higher than 26127 and lower than 26129, then it can only be 26128.
So, in short:
Guess one digit per time.
When you first try to guess a digit, go for 5 (exception: First digit, which can only be 1, 2 or 3).
If you didn't get the digit correctly, increase or decrease by 2. This way you can make good use of both hints that dealer gives (number of digits correct and higher/lower).
Save some time by skipping needless confirmations (once you figure a digit, guess 5 for the next digit, as explained in step 2).

Parallelverarbeitung fehlermanagement softwaretechnik programmfehler. It is quite common however for a developer to initiate his or her own threads, to perform some work in the background, as it were. This anomalous behavior is a race condition, which can result in a serious security vulnerability. It is these cases where race conditions most often appear. These slides are based on author seacords original presentation concurrency and race condition zconcurrency zexecution of multiple flows threads, processes, tasks, etc zif not controlled can lead to nondeterministic behavior zrace conditions zsoftware defectvulnerability resulting from unanticipated. The system behaves correctly when these entities use the shared resources as expected. For example, if a race condition occurs when event x happens in between event a and event b, then for testing your application, write some code that waits for event x to happen after event a happens. Like stated in other answers, a race condition happens when the output of a process depends on the timing.
The first thread reads the variable, and the second thread reads the same value from the variable. It was also designed from the outset to use software based safety systems rather than hardware controls. This race condition mostly occurs when a particular thing is concurrently used for multiple processes and it can also be occur when one thing is used for multiple things, to understand this, lets consider the following example. Race condition simple english wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You will likely need some way for your tests to talk to your application to tell it hey im testing this thing, so wait for this event at this. When this happens, the system may enter a state not. If you comment out that call, and run the application repeatedly, you will see that there is no guarantee of method ordering. Race conditions occur in multithreaded applications or multiprocess systems. Considered there is a variable a whose initial value is 5. Race conditions also occur in software which supports multithreading, use a distributed environment or are interdependent on shared resources.
Testing race conditions in web applications mcafee blogs. In fact, the attacker must race to invalidate assumptions about the system that the programmer may have made in the interval between operations. The answers on here are great, and i wanted to add some examples that dont use computers, in order to illustrate the concept nontechnically. Software development is unusual, however, in its emphasis on the importance of ongoing learning.
In a very abstract language, a race condition is a condition of race, a condition of intermittently unpredictable results. Producer consumer thread race conditions background. On x86 platforms, your increment operation will most likely be optimized to one atomic assembly statement that simply wont misbehave like a race condition. Then the first thread and second thread perform their operations on the value, and they race to see which thread can write the value last to the shared variable. Unfortunately, this doesnt help with these kinds of race conditions.
The term race condition was already in use by 1954, for example. Feb 15, 2018 isolating the race condition i started by chatting with the developers that had previously worked on the problem. A race condition is an undesired property of multithreaded code. Jun 18, 2012 examine the following example to see how a race condition occurs. Therefore, the result of the change in data is dependent on the. In most cases, multithreaded software is used as a client to checkexploit the race condition, e. A race condition occurs when a software program depends on the timing of.
For example, one way to fix our java servlet would be to use the object lock on the servlet by using the synchronized keyword. No one can assure that the variable that was changed or the service that was accessed has been modified or accesed by the first or the second thread. The noncooperating processes dont need to share the resources. Since we assume that the program runs very slowly, we have a oneminute time window after line 1 and before line 3. A race condition occurs when multiple threads simultaneously access the same shared code, variables, files, etc. In this video, explore a race condition in which one thread is multiplying the value of a shared variable while another thread is concurrently adding to it with an example python program. But the most common method that works in any condition is using wait handles and signaling. Learn about race conditions vulnerability penetration. For example, the following proof of concept worked against eset file server security. In our case, we found the use of inotifywait to be extremely helpful. In some homes there are multiple light switches connected to a common ceiling light. Trust assumptions may have been explicitfor example, a designer being aware of a security weakness and determining that a separate security control would compensate for it. Process synchronization race condition in os gate vidyalay.
I took an extended break from the software industry. Here is another simple example that explains the difference. Format contains a race condition that can cause one user to see another users data. I have two independent while loops running in parallel. Oct 23, 2016 embedded systems with arm cortexm microcontrollers in assembly language and c 4,625 views 9. Software feature misuse vulnerabilities are introduced during the design of the software or a component of the software e. Race conditions an execution ordering of concurrent flows that results in undesired behavior is called a race condition a software defect and frequent source of vulnerabilities. The proposed solution to this race condition is the ensureack method, which is called in the handleresponse method. To learn about race conditions vulnerability, let us start with an example imagine yourself in a bus, where all the seats are occupied and several people are standing. One module is trusted module a and another is untrusted module b. Net garbage collection happens on a separate thread, but the developer may not need to give much consideration to that fact. Race conditions a race condition occurs when two threads access a shared variable at the same time. Example should not be about a code explaining what a race condition is but a situation in a system.
For example, two different threads, perhaps in the same application, but running on different processors, try to acquire a lock at the exact same time. The first while loop is acquiring data and storing it in a local, global, or shared variable. A successful attack involves a quickanddirty change to the situation in a way that has not been anticipated. For example, consider a hardware design that has two different software firmware modules executing in parallel. While writing code, developers often tend to think that the code executes in a linear manner and they neglect the parallel nature of web server execution. It expresses that the programs outcome depends on a particular order of operations but that the underlying platform in the case.
The sharable resources can be shared among the cooperating processes. If you consider my original example, when alice saves, the orm will see the price column as dirty and update it even though the update is not desired. The underlying concept is that the results of a process should never be affected by one of the operations winning a race finishing first. Avoiding race conditions in swift swiftcairo medium. A race condition attack happens when a computing system thats designed to handle tasks in a specific sequence is forced to perform two or more operations simultaneously. Dec 21, 2011 practical race condition vulnerabilities in web applications what are race conditions. Now, the destination of one of the passengers seated has arrived. Our atm is an example of how can race conditions affect the correctness of program.
In software development, time of check to time of use tocttou or toctou, pronounced tock too is a class of software bug caused by changes in a system between the checking of a condition such as a security credential and the use of the results of that check. A race condition occurs when a software program depends on the timing of one or more processes to function correctly. We need to be very careful to test to the intent where we can, but thread synchronization is very much about implementation. In the above example we will try to ensure that the first thread is the last one that writes value to result variable. Reproducing race conditions is a clear example of whitebox testing. Refer to the concurrent computing wiki section to read more about this example. Apr 08, 2012 if you want to simulate a data race condition, you need to set up the program so that it is possible for one thread to interrupt another. Race conditions, by their very nature, are difficult to test for. While writing code, developers often tend to think that the code executes in a linear manner and they neglect the parallel nature. Lets see one example of race condition in java multithreading, where we have a shared instance variable.
Race condition in java multithreading tech tutorials. A test that reproduces a race condition may well need to be rewritten, depending on the nature of. But how do you test for bugs you cant easily reproduce in the lab. A simple example is a logic gate that handles boolean values. Ein einfaches beispiel fur eine race condition ist ein lichtschalter.
The importance of testing software code is impossible to overstate. The accepted answer was that it was due to spurious wakeups. I strongly disagree with this answer and instead believe that it is due to bad programming around race conditions. Generally speaking, some kind of external timing or ordering nondeterminism is needed to produce a race condition.
Race condition in software is an undesirable event that can happen when multiple entities. Race condition in operating system with example youtube. A race condition occurs when two or more threads can access shared data and they try to change it at the same time. The term race condition was already in use by 1954, for example in david a. Race condition race condition is a situation wherethe final output produced depends on the execution order of instructions of different processes.
On the other hand, this improper race condition is splendidly simple and easy to understand, so perhaps it should be labeled as a simulation of a race condition. Read the definition of race condition and find examples of when race conditions. Most of the time everything runs smoothly, but sometimes i lose data and the variable becomes empty. But sometimes due to uncontrollable delays, the sequence of operations may change due to relative timing of events. Race conditions are one of the most challenging issues in contemporary programming and are a primary cause of unstable, intermittent, and unreliable software behavior. In logic gates, it happens when the inputs arrive at the gate in a sequence not assumed while deriving the function. A race condition occurs when the proper functioningof a security control depends upon the timing of activitiesperformed by the computer or the user. Race conditions occur in logic circuits and computer software, especially with multithreaded or distributed systems. But what happens if you have a race condition on the lock itself. The bartender says to him, you have a race condition.
Practical race condition vulnerabilities in web applications. What are some of the practical examples of racing condition in hardware and software. Race condition in software is an undesirable event that can happen when multiple entities access or modify shared resources in a system. A race condition is a behavior which occurs in software applications or electronic systems, such as logic systems, where the output is dependent on the timing or sequence of other uncontrollable events. The above example is a good illustration of race condition. The removal of these hardware safety measures had tragic consequences, as race conditions in the codebase led to the death of three patients, and caused debilitating injuries to at least three other patients. It becomes a bug when one or more of the possible behaviors is undesirable. Mar, 2011 a race condition is a flaw that occurs when the timing or ordering of events affects a programs correctness. Lecture notes syracuse university race condition vulnerability. Each of the processes has some sharable resources and some nonshareable resources. Although these stories are more extreme than most software bugs engineers will encounter during their careers, they are worth studying for the insights they can offer into software development and deployment.
Race condition occurs when a systemdevice is designed assuming a particular sequence of events without taking steps to ensure it. What is race condition, we know that in a software the output that we get it depends on many events, if those events, those conditions are properly executed or properly run then only we get a proper output or as a proper expected output. Stephen vance dissects race conditions, helping us to comprehend what causes a race condition and then working from that understanding to figure out how to reproduce the race condition deterministically in tests. We can consider race condition as a situation in which two or more signals are racing to have their effect on the output. Famously, an improperly handled race condition in the software of nasas spirit exploration rover nearly resulted in the rover being lost shortly after it. If a thread runs or finishes at an unexpected time, it may cause unpredictable behavior, such as incorrect output or a program deadlock. The synchronized keyword prevents multiple threads from running code in the same object that is governed by the synchronized keyword. Examples of shared resources are class variables, db record in a table, writing in a file.
Nov, 2018 race conditions in software its also an important problem for software developers, who must handle any race conditions that may occur when their code is used in realworld situations. It is often difficult to explain what a race condition is, but the metaphor of a horse race can be used as an explanation. Practice problem based on process synchronization problem. The following code shows how this design flaw can manifest itself. One cause of these bugs can be race conditions, which can cause erratic and confusing behaviour and make getting a reliable bug report nearly impossible. Local, global, or network shared variable can cause race. One of the benefits of exploiting antivirus software for linux is the wide range of available tools to help with the race condition timings. Since there are three threads sharing the same object of the class so the field in the object is shared among.
The dangers of race conditions in five minutes sitepoint. For example, a person wishing to become an attorney in vermont would need to learn, to pass the bar exam in that state, that a person declaring bankruptcy may retain three hives of bees. Attackers may be able to exploit a signal handler race condition to cause the software state to be corrupted, possibly leading to a denial of service or even code execution. The worst computer bugs in history is a mini series to commemorate the discovery of the first computer bug seventy years ago. They believed the race condition was caused by an interview update being handled. A race condition occurs when two threads access a shared variable at the same time. For example, you might insert a random delay in the compute function so that it is possible that it might be preempted. Announcer race conditions are a particularly dangeroussecurity flaw, and require careful attentionfrom software developers and security professionalsin order to prevent them. Exploiting almost every antivirus software rack911 labs. A simple example of a race condition is a light switch. Race conditions an execution ordering of concurrent flows that results in undesired behavior is called a race conditiona software defect and frequent source of vulnerabilities.
A hacker walks into a hookah lounge, an escape room, and a bar. Arrayblockingqueue use while loops instead of if around calls to await. Race conditions frequently occur in signal handlers, since signal handlers support asynchronous actions. Race conditions result from runtime environ ments, including operating systems, that must control access to shared resources, especially through process scheduling. Eine wettlaufsituation, aus dem englischen auch race condition deutsch. It becomes a bug when one or more of the possible behaviors is undesirable the term race condition was already in use by 1954, for example in david a. The short description would be when two threads are accessing the same resource at the same time and modify it the result is unexpected.
Also, learn how the result will be different depending on the order in which the two threads are scheduled to execute. A race condition occurs when two threads race for access to a resource. Race conditions in software are when two concurrent threads of execution access a shared resource in a way that unintentionally produces different results depending on the time at which the code is executed. This technique takes advantage of a time gap between the moment a service is initiated and the moment a security control takes effect. A classic example of a race condition is the scenario where two clients modify the same resource on a server concurrently, as in the case of a simultaneous bank withdrawal. For example, you may have an object thats used in two threads.
I havent hitherto mentioned this period on my blog. For example when two music players are trying to access the speaker. I agree that the example given is not a proper race condition, but a proper one would be difficult to illustrate, since it is a system thats coupled in at least two places to a black box. Because the thread scheduling algorithm can swap between threads at any time, you dont know the order in which the threads will attempt to access the shared data. A race condition is an undesirable situation that occurs when a device or system attempts to perform two or more operations at the same time, but because of the nature of the device or system, the operations must be done in the proper sequence to be done correctly. How to host a zoom call for the first time fun and easy online connection duration. The second loop is periodically reading the data from a local, global, or shared variable. A race condition or race hazard is the condition of an electronics, software, or other system where the systems substantive behavior is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events. In concurrent programming a race condition occurs when a second thread modifies the state of one or more objects, making any assumptions, checks, made by the first threads invalid. So race condition in software industry means two threadstwo processes. If one thread tries to change a value in the objec while another tries to do the same thing, a race condition can occur. Swift was an entirely new language at the time of its. When these types of circuits are used, the switch position becomes irrelevant. A race condition, at its most basic, is anything that makes the assumption that two things not in the same thread or process will happen in a particular order, without taking steps to ensure that they do.
There are two threads, and both are updating a shared variable called total which is represented as dword ptr ds. Implementation issues in hardware design of such controls can expose such registers to a race condition security flaw. The term race condition implies a race going on between the attacker and the developer. A race condition or race hazard is a scenario in an electronic processing system where the result of a calculation might be affected by an unforeseen or uncontrolled sequence of events.428 339 1526 754 667 79 50 1145 620 1081 842 372 1200 267 468 1277 1246 155 1309 1490 1077 1367 449 1243 1077 1347 574 1022 215 1353 1262 28 1279 23 662 267 90 1459 892

A Happy End for Hogs
Hunting, Anaesthesia, Cruelty, Nutrition, Animal Behaviour, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry
Written from the perspective of a farmer from southern England, the narrator draws attention to 'a new way up there [in the North] o' killun pigs' which involves anaesthetising the animal. Noting the tendency of pigs to 'squake' even when 'they zees the pig-butcher', describes the proposal 'to stupidfy the pig wi clorifarm, like the Christian, zo as shouldn't zuffer nothun whiles they wus a killun of un'. Observes that 'There's no knowun, afore you tries, whether your clorifarm meddn't spile your poork or your beeacon' but asserts that this method 'zaves the poor cretur vrom being punished onnecessary' and makes pig killing less noisy. Resolves to try killing his pigs by this method but laments the cost of 'clorifarm'.

Yes I should have made it "Running", i wasn't being beer-brained-obtuse there MugUK.....
The sources include the Milan version, as well as the srcfalcon directory, which tells me in the readme that it is for the Falcon030.
So "Running2" was GPL'ed, even though all it does for a 350K file is produce some folders and a text menu,
.... I guess "Running" is still commercial!?

Nice that you met them Bill. Richard and his son (le 30 Sou) are great. They are collectors turned coin dealers, so they have an appreciation for varieties and errors. When the son was younger, and learning English, I spent a lot of time with him teaching him how to grade mint state coins. They have a fantastic coin shop in Gatineau. They rarely have anything I need for my registry sets, but I do buy the occasional error from them. Their table at Coin Expo is across from where I used to have my table (in the Collector's Corner), we overlapped several years, before I stopped doing shows.

Does Dynatrace 6.1 support monitoring of Apache Karaf? We have a Geographical Information System (commercial product) that is implemented using Apache Karaf, but I am unable to find any reference to this product on the Dynatrace site.
Also, when we said it is not supported, it is like
1. Definitely nothing in transaction flow diagram there
2.There might be, or might not be things in transaction flow diagram. If there is nothing, of course support team won't entertained any ticket opened.
So which scenario is it? first or second?
And also, would custom sensor help in this case?
Is it DEFINITELY NOT gonna help? or we MIGHT be able to get something using custom sensor?

It displays words from Open Text fields in a specified color with more frequently used words appearing larger than less frequently used words. Word cloud widgets automatically apply lemmatization to your responses so you can visualize your responses by their key words. For example, “transforming” and “transformed” would both appear as the base word, “transform.”
Field Type Compatibility
Only Open Text field types can be used in word cloud widgets.
For basic widget instructions and customization, visit the Widgets Overview support page. Continue reading for widget-specific customization.
Each word cloud can visualize a single open-ended question at a time. After adding the widget, click on the Text Source dropdown menu and select the open ended question you want to use. If desired, you can select multiple open text fields by enabling Use default field selector when editing your widget. See the below section for more information.
Customizations unique to the word cloud widget include the following:
Add a filter to your widget by clicking Add Filter.
MAX NUMBER OF WORDS
The total maximum number of unique words displayed is 100, but you can reduce this even further.
This option allows you to exclude certain words from your word cloud. By default, “a” and “the” are excluded.
To add more stop words:
- Click Stop Words.
- Click Edit Stopwords.
- Type a list of words, comma separated.
- Click Finish Editing when you’re done.
Add or remove extra space between the words in your word cloud.
Choose from Horizontal, Horizontal & Vertical, and Angled orientations.
Select the color for all words in your word cloud. The words in your widget will take on various shades of this color. There is no pattern to the lightness or darkness of a word.
Use Default Field Selector
If you select Use default field selector, you’ll be able to select multiple Text Sources. A dropdown will then appear on the word cloud allowing dashboard users to switch between text sources. Then, the Default Text Source dropdown will appear, allowing you to decide which of your multiple text sources shows up as the default when someone enters or refreshes the dashboard.

Hi there. I have a setup where in my production environment I get this error but not in UAT and DEV. My tentacle is running under a system account that is not part of the administrators group. My process is installing IIS and it fails with this error.
I have granted full access to c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys for the account but I still get the error.
Thanks for getting in touch! To get a better idea of what could be going wrong here I’ll need you to attach a copy of the raw deployment log where you are seeing this error.
We have a documentation page which has instructions on downloading the log file to be attached.
Looking forward to hearing from you and getting to the bottom of this.

Mailbag: How can I revert shared files to older versions when uninstalling the new version of my MSI-based product?
I have 2 versions of my MSI, and each version installs some files to a shared location. After installing version 1 of my MSI, then version 2 of my MSI, the shared files are updated to version 2. When I uninstall version 2 of my MSI afterwards, the shared files are still version 2. However, I need the shared files to be reverted back to version 1. How can I implement that behavior in my MSI?
Windows Installer does not have any built-in functionality to back up old versions of shared files and them restore them when uninstalling the upgraded files. The general philosophy that is being applied here is that if a shared file is upgraded, new versions of any shared files are expected to be backwards compatible with older versions of the product that depend on those files.
If backwards compatibility is not possible for your products and you need to restore older versions of shared files when uninstalling the newer version of your MSI, you will have to write custom actions to copy older versions of the files to a backup location during installation of the new version of the MSI and to restore the older versions of the files during uninstallation of the new version of the MSI.
The custom actions should behave as follows:
- The custom action that backs up older versions of the files needs to be sequenced before the InstallFiles standard action and should have an execution condition that includes (NOT Installed) so it will run during a first-time install of the MSI and not during repairs or uninstalls.
- The custom action that backs up older versions of the files needs to handle the case where the shared files do not exist. In this case, it should skip trying to back up the older versions of the files so that install will not fail if the user does not have an older version of your MSI installed.
- The custom action that restores older versions of the files needs to be sequenced after the RemoveFiles standard action and have an execution condition that includes REMOVE=”ALL” so it will only run during an uninstall of the MSI.
- The custom action that restores older versions of the files needs to handle the case where the backup location does not exist. In this case, it should skip trying to restore the older versions of the files so that uninstall will not fail if the user only has one version of your MSI installed.
Note – this solution also assumes that your MSIs follow the Windows Installer component rules – you cannot change composition of MSI components that are shared by multiple products. In other words, shared files must be authored in MSI components that have the same GUID and same contents (files + install locations) in both versions of your MSI.

This diagram illustrates the differences between active and passive remote sensing. GPM relies on active and passive instruments to measure the properties of precipitation from space. Active radars, such as the GPM Dual Frequency Precipitation Radar, transmit and receive signals reflected back to the radar. The signal returned to the radar receiver (called radar reflectivity) provides a measure of the size and number of rain/snow drops at multiple vertical layers in the cloud (left figure). Passive precipitation radiometers such as the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) measure natural thermal radiation (called brightness temperatures) from the complete observational scene including snow, rain, clouds, and the Earth's surface (right figure).

Well, I’m going to be as blunt as possible.
You have two options.
You can either take a shot in the dark and hire Joe Blow from down the street
You could hire us, the industry standard, to give you a free estimate.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully the temps cool down some. Anyone know or recommend a meat storage facility in the San Saba, Lometa area? I used Coates Taxidermy last year but the number I had must not be the right one. We're looking to put about 6 deer down and stock the ole freezers.

Thanks for the heads up!
Mellanox has released an updated version of the 2.4-1 release to address issue :
I noticed that while mellanox reported the problem to redhat (promptly fixed) upstream Linux kernel and ofed seem out of the loop (or atleast not fixing). I base this on the patch being missing from both Linux git master and ofed-3.18-daily.
Also the available cve info at nvd and mitre is missing lots of information (most significantly that most everybody using ib is vulnerable until updated).

Getting Google to change incorrect information
I set up a website for a farmhouse bed and breakfast establishment in England about 10 years ago. The farm has a very common name. Some time ago the site started getting hits from Google from visitors searching for a farm with the same name in a town on the other side of the country. I did a search on Google and found an entry with all the details for that farm but with my domain name. I have tried reporting the error to Google but have not had an acknowledgment of any kind. I also phoned the farm in question but they say they have also tried to get the website address corrected, but have not got anywhere.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it changed? It's bad enough for my customer who gets enquiries from people who think they are more than 200 miles from where they want to stay. But it's obviously worse for the other farm when their website is unrecognised by Google.

I've created a trigger that only allows a user to have 10 current placed orders. So now when the customer tries to placed order number 11 the oracle database throws back a error. Well 3 errors.
ORA-20000: You currently have 10 or more orders processing.
ORA-06512: at "C3283535.TRG_ORDER_LIMIT", line 12
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'C3283535.TRG_ORDER_LIMIT'
The top error is one I've created using:
raise_application_error(-20000, 'You currently have 10 or more orders processing.');
I just wondered after search and trying many ways how to change the error messages for the other two errors or even not show them all together to the user?
Here is the code I've used
create or replace trigger trg_order_limit before insert on placed_order for each row declare v_count number; begin -- Get current order count select count(order_id) into v_count from placed_order where fk1_customer_id = :new.fk1_customer_id; -- Raise exception if there are too many if v_count >= 10 then EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN raise_application_error(-20000, 'You currently have 10 or more orders processing.'); end if; end;
Thanks a lot Richard

Performance testing is really important because that slow response time or outages cause the loss in terms of business & reputation for the company. Here are some tips that could help to test application performance:
1. Run performance tests from the production environment
The best way to ensure your test results are as accurate and real as possible is by running the test on your live production site. This way will let you catch real errors and bottlenecks. Of course, you have to choose wisely what time you start such a test, so you don’t affect real user business. Take a look at your analytics statistics to find traffic downtime. But if you can’t run it on production or you haven’t got prod environment yet, then try to run tests on your staging environment first and then create a prod replica as similar as possible using some cloud server, for example, so you don’t have to buy actual hardware. Don’t forget to seed staging or replica with production-like data, because running tests with the empty database is different from running with some seeded data.
2. Set-up backup servers and data replication
If something unexpected happens, you better thought through a procedure to recover application work. For example, the app receives unanticipated traffic or your data server has some issues. Setting up backup servers and database replication in advance will help you to recover quickly. If something happens, you can switch over while resolving the issues and problems. This procedure should be documented so the whole development team will know what to do even if someone is missing.
3. Check end-user performance
Ensure that UI experience is also fast. You can have really quick API responses but run into slow UI loading. Users don’t want to wait for content. Seed some important data and perform UI testing. For example, create a test user with hundreds of items in the cart and check out how smoothly will cart page render. If issues appear you can consider about code improving, adding pagination or progress bar to make waiting time more bearable.
The basic advice regarding response times has been about the same for a long time:
- If a response occurs within 0.1 seconds, users perceive it as “instant” meaning that you don’t need to do anything but show them the result.
- If a response occurs within 1 second, users will notice the delay and lose the feeling of operating directly on the data. However, special feedback still isn’t necessary.
- If a response takes more than 10 seconds, you’ll lose user attention. Either distract them or tell them how much longer it’ll take so they can start another task.
It is recommended to use progress bars for load times expected to be 5 seconds or more. Also if you render the page in sections, rather than all at once when it’s completely loaded, you’ll reduce your users’ passive wait time.
4. Early performance testing
The earlier you start load testing, the sooner you will catch bottlenecks and the sooner you can fix them. It is also useful to integrate load testing into CI/CD. By load testing regularly every time you change the code, commit builds and deploy, you will catch most of the problems right away. Also, you will have statistics about your system so it will be easier to understand after which moment all went wrong.
5. Simulate real-world user scenarios
Performance testing goal is to improve the user experience so when load testing, your users and their needs should be the priority. Make a research and look into analytics to create scenarios according to users habits. If they like to spend a lot of time browsing through your app catalog, put pauses there. A real-world load test makes sure you eliminate relevant bottlenecks, thus ensuring spectacular user experience.

My brother’s helper, Lyn (who has put on 10kg since she started working for us), recognised the aroma floating through the air instantly when she entered my home. “Adobo!” she exclaimed excitedly as she dropped her keys on the table and dashed right into the kitchen. Ok, I am exaggerating a bit here. How to “dash” to the kitchen from the door when we’re living in a 4-room HDB flat? The distance 就那几步罢了。Haha.

@magicalclick: It should work like the Nokia Maps do now. It downloads the tiles and street data locally. Then you can do directions and things based off of the locally saved data. You can choose the locations you want to download or pick all of them. Things like traffic use real-time data so that wouldn't be local because it would be out of date in a matter of minutes.

One of the most useful new tools that shipped with Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise and Datacenter editions) is the Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM).
With WSRM, you can optimize server performance, make users (and management) happy by prioritizing critical applications, foil resource hogs, and make your own life much easier by maintaining simple and effective control over resources.
Why WSRM is valuable
Specifically, WSRM can do the following:
- WSRM enables you to allocate your server’s processor and memory resources on a per-process basis for applications, based on your business priorities. You can combine processes to be managed and set targets and/or limits for resource usage. You can develop these requirements into policies that you can apply to applications or use to manage users—either individually or by security group—in a large Terminal Server environment. This allows admins to control would-be resource hogs.
- WSRM policies can be applied according to a time/date schedule. (So, for example, those noncritical tasks can use all the resources they want, but only when critical apps are not in use.)
- You can generate all the resource utilization reports you need for your own records, for management, for service level agreement (SLA) tracking, and for charge-back purposes.
Although some benefits are fairly obvious, you might still ask, “Do I really need all this control over processes? I don’t have SLA tracking to worry about, and I don’t run Terminal Services.” Well, if you consider that, according to Microsoft, administrators typically operate their servers at between 50 to 85 percent of utilization, then you’ll probably be interested in this tool. Essentially, there’s some extra capacity to be pulled out of your servers, and WSRM offers you the means to harness that capacity in order to provide optimum server utilization.
Also, by judiciously allocating resources, you can prevent applications from interfering with each other and with the system, thereby enhancing system stability.
You cannot use WSRM in conjunction with another (third-party) resource manager. If you attempt to do that, WSRM will not be able to manage system resources correctly.
WSRM can be installed on 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition. It has a server as well as a client component. The latter can only be installed on x86-based computers and supports Windows XP, the Windows Server 2003 family, and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later.
For managing WSRM, you can use either the command-line interface (wsrmc.exe) or the Microsoft Management Console (see Figure A).
Once you’ve identified the applications you want to manage, you can create policies to control and allocate the CPU and memory resources for applications and services. Such a policy consists of one or more resource allocations, which, as they are used in WSRM, consist of a process matching criterion (the mechanism WSRM uses to match running processes to a resource allocation policy) and one or more of the following:
- An associated CPU target
- A memory limit
- A processor affinity
All of the processes matched by your criteria are assembled into a group. The group is allocated system resources, as specified in the resource allocation policy. If a CPU allocation is specified, the CPU resources are distributed evenly among all the processes in the group. If a memory limit is specified, the limit is applied on a per-process basis to all the processes in the group. WSRM then monitors and controls the resource usage of each managed process in the group. Now let’s take a closer look at process matching.
When an application starts, one or more processes are created. Each process is also linked to the user account of the person (or system account) that started the process. Using WSRM, you can change the priority of a process, which affects the schedule that determines which applications have access to CPU resources. There are four priority levels to which WSRM can change process priority:
- Above normal
- Below normal
Here’s how to create a process matching criterion:
- In the console tree of WSRM, right-click Process Matching Criteria and then click New Process Matching Criteria.
- In Criteria Name, type a descriptive name for the new process matching criterion, then click Add (see Figure B).
- On the Files Or Command Lines tab, you can specify a process manually by typing the file name or command-line path in Included Files Or Command Lines. You can also choose the process from a list by selecting Registered Service, Running Process, or Application, and then clicking Select.
- If you selected either Registered Service or Running Process, click the process you want to match, and then click OK. If you selected Application, type the path to the location of the application’s executable file, or browse to it and select it.
If you want to create a process matching criterion using user or group matching, you would choose the Users Or Groups tab after step 2 above. Then you would have the option to either include or exclude users and groups from matching. In Select Users Or Groups, type the user or group name, and then click OK.
You can use Task Manager to view the current process priority level of a managed process. Then you can use this information to help you change the priority according to business needs.
Now you can move on to create one or more resource allocation policies. Such a policy consists of one or more allocations: a process matching criterion and a resource allocation associated with that process matching criterion. You can use these policies to set a CPU consumption target, memory limit, processor affinity, or a combination of these.
A good starting point is to set CPU targets. You can then refine the resource allocation policy as necessary. Microsoft recommends this approach for the following reasons:
- CPU management is least likely to impact the application itself.
- It is easy to understand and perform.
- “Actual performance is easier to monitor than expected performance.”
- CPU management “is the most flexible of the management options available.”
Setting memory limits should be the next step “if CPU management is ineffective or the application to be managed has unique memory requirements that cannot be addressed through the standard memory allocation of the operating system,” according to Microsoft.
Examples of when a memory limit should be set include the following:
- When an application does not share memory with other applications
- When an application cannot use its full CPU allocation because it does not have enough memory
- When an application is leaking memory
Be careful with processor affinity. Microsoft recommends you use it only if CPU management was unsuccessful or if the application to be managed requires that an affinity be set to one or more processors.
Set the policy
Here’s how to create a resource allocation policy:
- In the console tree of the WSRM snap-in, right-click Resource Allocation Policies, then click New Resource Allocation Policy (see Figure C).
- In Policy Name, type a name for the new resource allocation policy, then click Add.
- On the General tab, in Process Matching Criteria, select a process matching criterion.
- In Percentage Of Processor Allocated For This Resource, type or select the value for the percentage of total CPU bandwidth to be allocated, and then click OK.
To set memory limits, after step 2 above, click the Memory tab. Select the Use Maximum Committed Memory For Each Process check box. In Maximum Committed Memory Limit Per Process, you can type a value in megabytes. In If Memory Is Surpassed, select either Stop The Application or Log An Event. Select the Use Maximum Working Set Limit For Each Process check box. In Maximum Working Set Limit Per Process, type a value in megabytes.
Assign the policy
Now you’re ready to set the new resource allocation policy to manage the computer. In the console tree, click Resource Allocation Policies. In the details pane, right-click the resource allocation policy you want to set, and then click either Set As Managing Policy or Set As Profiling Policy.
You can also create a calendar event or a schedule using your policy. In the console tree, double-click Calendar and then right-click Calendar Events to set your options, or right-click Schedules and choose New Schedule to schedule the policy. It can be a single or recurring event. Such a schedule can even be used to manage multiple resource allocation policies, activating different policies at different times.
Once you’ve set your policies, it’s time to ascertain if your resource management is working as expected. You can do this using System Monitor, which is included in the WSRM snap-in. It has three sets of its own performance counters:
- WSRM: Policy
- WSRM: Process
- WSRM: Process Matching Criteria
If you observe these and are happy that everything is working properly, it’s time to make use of WSRM’s accounting features to keep records of the behavior of managed processes. Data is logged to the accounting database at a default interval of 10 minutes. You can modify this interval. The accounting database enables you to easily generate reports of process-resource usage on a per-user, per-application, or other basis. You can use this data for charge-back purposes and SLAs. Use the WSRM information on memory usage and CPU time to support SLA metrics.
It’s important that you archive and delete accounting data and manage the size of the accounting database or you’ll risk running out of disk space. WSRM does not automatically overwrite old records or reuse storage space. You should also make regular backups of the accounting database. You have to stop the WSRM service before backing up the database.
The best way to get started with WSRM is to experiment with the samples included on the WSRM CD. There are four dummy applications (Bizcrit.exe, Batch.exe, Rogue.exe, and Leaky.exe) and some sample XML policies.
You first have to import the sample XML files. To do so, open the WSRM console (if it’s not already open), right-click Windows System Resource Manager, then click Import WSRM Information. In Location, type the path to the four sample XML files (the root of the Samples folder on the CD) and then click OK, or click Browse to select the folder containing them.
The following is some additional information about these sample policy files from the information provided in WSRM’s help files.
This includes the following resource allocation policies:
- Equal_Per_User: This is the policy that is included with Windows System Resource Manager. It implements the equal-per-user management rule and specifies a 99-percent CPU consumption target.
- DayTimePolicy: This policy is designed to manage two of the sample programs, Batch.exe and Bizcrit.exe. For Batch.exe, a CPU consumption target of 70 percent is specified. For Bizcrit.exe, a CPU consumption target of 25 percent is specified.
- NightTimePolicy: This policy is also designed to manage Batch.exe and Bizcrit.exe. For Batch.exe, a CPU consumption target of 60 percent is specified. For Bizcrit.exe, a CPU consumption target of 30 percent is specified.
- StopLeak: This policy is designed to end a program that has a memory leak when its memory consumption reaches a specified level.
This activates the default post-installation calendar settings. These settings are: calendar management, the calendar default policy set to WSRMDefault, and the managing policy set to WSRMDefault.
This includes the Equal_Per_User process matching criteria, which is included with Windows System Resource Manager. It matches all running processes not included on either the system-defined exclusion list or the user-defined exclusion list.
As far as the four sample programs—Bizcrit.exe, Batch.exe, Rogue.exe, and Leaky.exe—are concerned, Bizcrit represents an interactive workload that a business might depend on, such as customer service software or a Web site. Batch represents a non-interactive workload that consumes more resources when interactive workloads consume fewer resources. Rogue represents a CPU-intensive workload that has a low business priority, but that must still run, provided that it does not impact other running programs that are more important. Leaky represents a program with a memory leak.
You can copy them to a folder on your computer or run them from the CD. These samples provide you with a great way of comparing performance in the “managed” state and “unmanaged” state.
Once running, you can, for example, check their CPU usage with Resource Monitor. In Resource Monitor, select the Process performance object, and then select % Processor Time for each of the four to display the CPU usage. Just remember to switch off management when you want to see what performance is like in the unmanaged state, and to enable managing again to see performance in the managed state. To switch management on or off, right-click Windows System Resource Manager and click to toggle between Stop Managing and Start Managing in the drop-down menu.
Once you’ve seen what WSRM can do by using the samples, you can start experimenting with allocating resources to applications.
You should also be aware that if you uninstall WSRM, all resource allocation policies, process matching criteria, calendar data, and accounting data will be deleted as part of the uninstall process. To keep these files and data, you must copy them to another location before you do the uninstall.

# Use tool: These tools change settings on Painting and Sculpt objects. The Use Tool controls will use a tool to change the associated settings.
When hovering over a group, any paintings and sculpts inside the group will be affected. When hovering over a selected object, all selected objects will be affected. (Tg)
Some tools can change the inner properties of a sculpt by holding shift while using the tool.
# Add, Subtract
This context menu button toggles between adding and subtracting the effect of the tool. When subtracting, changes the settings of objects to the object’s initial settings to reveal the inherent visual style.
For example, subtracting tint will reveal a sculpt’s spraypainted surface.
Use the Add/Subtract control to toggle between modes.
# Volume Brush
Some tools can use a volume brush to affect objects that are at least partially inside a box at the end of the imp. Some tools will change the settings of individual flecks inside the box instead of the painting object they are part of.
To activate the volume brush, click the context menu button.
Use the Scale controls to change the size of the volume brush. If the volume brush is off and its size is increased, it will turn on. If the volume brush is on and and its size is decreased to 0, it will turn off.
The tools affect the corresponding setting on objects the imp is hovering over. (Pk) This mode affects the Outer & Inner Properties of a Sculpt and the Coat Properties of a Painting.
Gradually changes the Colour to the selected colour, increases the Tint Amount, and reduces Original Colour Saturation. (Pk)
If the Tint Amount is currently 0%, instantly sets the colour to the selected colour.
Subtracting reduces the Tint Amount and increases Original Colour Saturation.
Use on a Sun & Sky gadget to affect the sky colour.
Changes the Hue Shift setting. (Pk)
Use on a Sun & Sky gadget to affect the Sky Hue Cycle.
# Apply Finish
Increases or reduces the selected finish. When increasing, moves the corresponding settings towards the target setting. (Pk)When reducing, moves Shiny/Rough to 60% and Waxyness/Metalness to 0%.
Increasing moves a painting’s Finish setting to 100%. Reducing moves it to 0%.
Increases or reduces the glow setting. (Pk)
Changes Tint Amount to 0%, Original Saturation to 100%, a painting’s Finish to 100%, Shinyness/Roughness to 60%, Waxyness/Metalness to 0%, and Glow to 0%.

The tools affect the flecks of a sculpture or painting. (Pk)
When used on an object, sets the fleck of that object instantly, and combs the flecks at the same time.
Hold Move Primary Cross button and twist to change an object’s looseness.
Hold Move Primary Square button and twist to change an object’s impasto.
# Apply Fleck
Gradually reduces whatever fleck style is currently applied and applies more of the currently selected fleck style. Using this, you can have up to 4 different flecks showing on the same sculpt at once. (Pk)
Reducing removes the set flecks and leaves the object with whatever fleck they had originally.
Use on a Sun & Sky gadget to set the Sky Fleck Type.
Changes the Looseness setting. (Pk)
Changes the Impasto setting. (Pk)
Note that this tool cannot set impasto to negative values.
Affects the orientation of all flecks. Sculpts store the combed areas relative to the sculpt’s origin. Flecks within paintings will adjust their stored orientation.
Drag the tool over objects to comb the flecks in the direction the imp is moving. (Pk)
Changes the Ruffle setting. (Pk)
When applying to flecks of a painting, they instantly become fully ruffled. These can be unruffled using a negative value for the ruffle setting of the painting itself.
Brings the ruffle, impasto, and looseness settings of paintings and sculpts to 0.
Applies animation effects to all flecks of a sculpt or painting by changing the Effects settings on that object. While in effects mode, the effects animations will be previewed even if time is not running. (Pk)
The speed of the animation is set by the highest value of any of the effects settings.
For example, if Flow is at 10% and Throb is at 50%, the speed of both the flow and throb will be 50%.
One tool for each Fleck Effect.
Reverts the effects settings of sculpt or painting objects to 0.

This is just plain nuts: someone plopped a gas turbine engine from a helicopter into a minivan. The back window as deleted to make room for it, and it obviously can't run with the sliding doors closed. I've seen cars with jet engines, but this one is a first for me.

I keep seeing a blue "Your vote has been recorded" popup after casting close-votes.
I know that votes are recorded - it has been that way for years. The popup requires me to click a small [x] sign on it to close - clicking elsewhere on the page doesn't work. It is extremely annoying.
What is the purpose of this? How can I get rid of that thing?
It looks like this after clicking on the text. It covers useful content on page.
