Descriptive statistics, as the name implies, describe sample characteristics. The selection of the appropriate type of data analysis for research is a critical part of analyzing surveys.
In order to analyze data, first and foremost, statistics need to be used to describe the data.
The Importance of Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics allow us to show the data more meaningfully, making it easier to understand. It helps make sense of data and provides insights about data that can be further validated using inferential statistics and advanced analytics.
Let’s talk about a few of the most common descriptive statistics used in quantitative research.
Frequency And Percentage
Frequency and percentage tables are an excellent place to start. It shows counts and percentages for each unique value in a variable, usually a categorical variable. A frequency is the number of times each score appears in each data set, while a percentage represents a fraction of 100.
One usually starts with tables describing gender, religion, and ethnicity. The best way to describe these tables is by making a table of frequency and percentages. The frequency and percentage tables should be aligned with the research objective when working on them.
Further, one can also do sub-group analysis using other variables as part of cross-tabulation. As a next step, we should determine the central tendency.
A Measure of Central Tendency
The next stage is to look for a measure of central tendency. A central tendency is a single number describing a data set by figuring out where the middle point is and is also known as summary statistics. Even though there are several ways to measure central tendencies, researchers commonly use the arithmetic mean and the median.
The arithmetic mean is the first way to measure central tendency. It is calculated by dividing the number in the series by the total number. The arithmetic mean is sometimes called the average or just the mean in the series. Before using the arithmetic mean, one must meet several assumptions, i.e., at least one interval scale is used to measure the variable. The data should be spread out typically, and there shouldn’t be any significant outliers.
A researcher can assess the first assumption using the question type, while the second assumption can be evaluated using a Normal Q-Q plot histogram or other statistical tools.
Box plots can be used to check the third assumption. One should not use the arithmetic mean for nominal or ordinal values because it doesn’t make sense to add up the data for these variables.
Also, the arithmetic mean is very sensitive to outliers. In the case of at least one outlier, the arithmetic mean does not accurately represent the whole data set.
This is the middle score of a data set sorted by size. Outliers and skewed data don’t have as much of an effect on the median.
Before using the median, you only need to ensure that the variable is at least ordinal. Median should be used in the case of non-normally distributed data or where there are a lot of outliers.
A mode is defined as the most frequent value in a dataset. Although it isn’t used as often in primary research, it plays a significant role in production and manufacturing decisions.
Another critical measure while using descriptive statistics is to assess variability. A measure of variability is also known as dispersion or spread. It describes how different things are in a group or sample. In general, it is used to describe a group of numbers in combination with a measure of central tendencies like the mean or median.
Data variability is a measure of how well the mean represents the data. For instance, in a large data set, the mean tells us less about the data than it would if there were a small range of data. A large spread suggests that individual scores have significant differences. Big spreads are often considered good in research. If there isn’t much difference between each data group, the respondents are similar.
Minimum, Maximum, Range, and Quartiles
The data value distribution can be determined using minimums, maximums, ranges, and quartiles. The distribution range is calculated by subtracting the lowest and highest values. Further, the quartiles represent one-fourth and three-quarters of the way through a range of values.
Spread and interquartile range are fundamental measures of the spread of data distribution. They indicate how big the gap is between the top and bottom quartiles of the data distribution.
Standard Deviation and Variance
The standard deviation is the initial method for measuring dispersion. In relation to the mean, the standard deviation measures what degree of dispersion the data exhibit. To obtain it, one takes the square root of the standard deviation.
The standard deviation is used using the arithmetic mean to determine the central tendency. Increasing the distance between the data points and the mean will increase the standard deviation.
Alternative methods for measuring dissimilarity include the interquartile range. As a general rule, the interquartile range represents the area between the third and first quartiles. It indicates the distance between the center-half of the scores.
There is a common belief that the interquartile range and the median are the best ways to measure the spread and central tendency, respectively. A standard deviation is a valuable tool when dealing with skewed or outliers data. If the interquartile range is high, then the variation is also high.
An alternative method of measuring variability is variance. It is a way to measure how far an estimate is from the hypothetical mean that could come from doing multiple surveys.
Which Measure to Use
In short, one must ascertain what statistical tool to use to describe your data set. One can use a frequency and percentage table if you have a nominal variable.
Further, one can use an ordinal frequency and percentage table if you have an ordinal variable. A median and interquartile range can be used when data are not normally distributed, have outliers, or both. Researchers can use the mean and standard deviation in the case of normally distributed intervals and ratios.

My team is base din the UK and is really interested in looking at those CAD designs, your team seems to have completed a tonne of work on initial designs looking at the PDFs, what is the situation with TAP giving out these designs? we are focusing on the manufacturing challenges specifically.
I'm also keen to get a copy of something more editable than PDF documents. I do see continued coverage of this open-sourcing effort but last upload was 2018-12-19 ? Really, CAD files wold be more useful.
For example, here's someone working from old ORNL PDF documents to construct 3D models... https://vimeo.com/294962099/b1f151957f ...having CAD files might save a step when visualizing (in 3D) different MSR approaches.


Historically, EVL has been involved in the development of software and hardware systems to support electronic artists’ and computer animators’ needs. In the ’70s and ’80s, the patch-programmable analog Sandin Image Processor (IP), GRASS, ZGRASS, Datamax UV-1, and high-level graphics programming languages, were developed at EVL to address the need for accessible tools to create real-time animation. Ygdrasil was developed as a high-level authoring and scripting tool to support the development of art in virtual reality.
In the years since, state-of-the-art modeling and animation software applications have become readily available and are commonly utilized by students at EVL. However, the combination of commercially avaliable software, the software developed at EVL, and the programming expertise stressed in the program, the resulting animated works have a unique look and feel. Some examples of such work are showcased on our site as MFA Thesis projects.
Additionally, EVLers have created a significant body of animated works using computer graphics. These works have been exhibited internationally and selected for numerous juried shows, such as the highly regarded SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival. A number of these works are archived and currently available as part of the SIGGRAPH Video Review publication.

Wow. Another incredibly helpful flame on the message board.
Is it jealousy? Or have you simply been too lazy to read and think about what's going on here?
Anyway, I'm glad the project staff is now working on the code inefficiencies. *thumbsup*
By the way, I'd like to encourage the project staff to leave their current and future code accessible to the community. It's simply the right thing to do. I don't even want to think about how "efficiently" other projects with hidden code found a way to simply raise my energy bills without doing much science in the first place.

Returns the number of cells that contain numbers in the values given as its argument(s).
|1||Value||Either a value or a range/array of multiple values.|
|2||…||Any number of more values or ranges/arrays of multiple values. Up to 255 can be given.|
You can use
=COUNT(A1:A5) to count the number of cells that contain a number. A1:A5 is the range of cells that we count. So cells A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5. Each of these cells contains a number, therefore the result is 5.
The count function will simply ignore empty cells, text and errors.


You are given a rooted tree on $$$n$$$ vertices. The vertices are numbered from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$; the root is the vertex number $$$1$$$.

Each vertex has two integers associated with it: $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$. We denote the set of all ancestors of $$$v$$$ (including $$$v$$$ itself) by $$$R(v)$$$. The awesomeness of a vertex $$$v$$$ is defined as

$$$$$$\left| \sum_{w \in R(v)} a_w\right| \cdot \left|\sum_{w \in R(v)} b_w\right|,$$$$$$

where $$$|x|$$$ denotes the absolute value of $$$x$$$.

Process $$$q$$$ queries of one of the following forms:

- 1 v x — increase $$$a_v$$$ by a positive integer $$$x$$$.
- 2 v — report the maximum awesomeness in the subtree of vertex $$$v$$$.


We have a huge (part-VBA, part-.NET-based) LOB application, with thousands of (different) SQL statements littered all over the code¹. Currently, there is one global "Query Timeout" that can be configured. Since the application (among others) allows the user to create quite complex reports, this default timeout is set very high (5 minutes).
This, however, leads to problems when, during normal operation, undetected deadlocks² occur: All machines involved freeze for 5 minutes, until the timeout resolves the issue. So, clearly, different timeouts are suitable for different situations: For a complex report, a few minutes might be OK, whereas for querying a single, indexed database value, a few seconds should suffice³.
What's a good strategy to implement this? My first idea would be to categorize SQLs into "fast", "medium" and "slow" and, thus, have three different timeouts that can be configured. What are your experiences with this issue? How have you solved it and how did it work?
¹ Yes, I know that there are object-relational mappers available, but (1) we do have a lot of legacy code and (2) I don't think it makes a difference to the question.
² An undetected deadlock is a deadlock that is not resolved by the database engine (for example by detecting the deadlock and aborting one of the transactions involved). Such deadlocks can occur under certain circumstances (ask me, if you want details, but I don't think it's relevant for the question).
³ I know that such a DB access should only take a few ms, but the single, quick query might need to wait for a resource to be released by a longer-running transaction.


I have configured a test using a single script and a colletor which has a few counters.
When the script is executed, in the monitor tab i can see the results of the data collected for the different counters. But when the test is over where does OpemSTA store the logs or the graphs
it is there in results tab
here u can see different directories based on each run of the test case. expand the required one and see the results
i think u are asking about the NT performance counters which you have configured in the collector.
to see the various counters and its values you have to go to,
Results -> Folder (date&time of your test) -> Custom NT Performance
You have to click on it and then u will see the graph. If you right click on the graph and 'export to excel' you will be able all the values in the excel sheet.

I’m working on replacing the existing build system we use based on XAML Workflow by the new build system introduced in TFS 2015. So far, I really like the experience. Customizing became a lot easier than it was before…
However not everything is perfect. While building a solution I noticed the following error message:
“The item $/Framework en Tooling/Drops may not be cloaked because it does not have a mapped parent.”
Let’s find out what was going on.
- Open your favorite browser and navigate to the web access portal for your team project
- Click on the BUILD tab
- Expand the Build Definition section, right click on the failing Build definition and choose Edit… from the context menu
- The build definition is loaded. Now click on the Repository tab.
- On this tab you see the workspace mapping used for the build definition. In my case it looked like this:
- Seeing this immediately explained the error message. I was cloaking a folder that was on the same level as the folder I was mapping. With the current mapping configuration the Drops folder would never be downloaded to the local workspace, so it didn’t make any sense to cloak it(and that was exactly what the error message was telling me)
- To fix it, the only thing I had to do was remove the Mapping line from the list


It's not that simple. You just need to sit in a programming meeting with a client (like the institution you're taking about) to realize the trickle-down effect of trying to make such design decisions.
I'm not saying there's a "better" solution to having the racks hidden away, but the idea that it's "simple" is false.
Not only that, but I've had experience on large college campuses where the bike racks are out in the open with parts and bikes being stolen or damaged in full light of day and with people all around. Short of posting a guard, you're not going to be 100% secure (and even with a guard I wouldn't expect security).


Arkady wants to have a dinner. He has just returned from a shop where he has bought a semifinished cutlet. He only needs to fry it. The cutlet should be fried for 2n seconds, in particular, it should be fried for n seconds on one side and n seconds on the other side. Arkady has already got a frying pan and turn on fire, but understood that maybe he won't be able to flip the cutlet exactly after n seconds after the beginning of cooking.

Arkady is too busy with sorting sticker packs in his favorite messenger and can flip the cutlet only in some periods of time. Namely, there are k periods of time in which he can do it, the i-th of them is an interval of time from li seconds after he starts cooking till ri seconds, inclusive. Arkady decided that it's not required to flip the cutlet exactly in the middle of cooking, instead, he will flip it several times in such a way that the cutlet will be fried exactly n seconds on one side and n seconds on the other side in total.

Help Arkady and find out if it's possible for him to cook the cutlet, if he is able to flip the cutlet only in given periods of time; and if yes, find the minimum number of flips he needs to cook the cutlet.


alright so you've got the 3 snake brothers, solid, liquid and solidus. there dad, naked snake/big boss. youv'e got eva/big momma that could be described somewhat as a mother. there grandmother (same premise as eva) the boss/the joy there uncle, revolver ocelot, the boss' son (big boss'/naked snakes step-brother sort of?) raiden there nephew, who solidus took under his wing as a son. anymore i haven't thought of who could in someway or other be related. it feels like an amazing episode of the jerry springer show. imagine at the end of mgs4 they all sort out there differences and enjoy a spot of Christmas dinner together.


Bear Limak examines a social network. Its main functionality is that two members can become friends (then they can talk with each other and share funny pictures).

There are n members, numbered 1 through n. m pairs of members are friends. Of course, a member can't be a friend with themselves.

Let A-B denote that members A and B are friends. Limak thinks that a network is reasonable if and only if the following condition is satisfied: For every three distinct members (X, Y, Z), if X-Y and Y-Z then also X-Z.

For example: if Alan and Bob are friends, and Bob and Ciri are friends, then Alan and Ciri should be friends as well.

Can you help Limak and check if the network is reasonable? Print "YES" or "NO" accordingly, without the quotes.


You are given two integers $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$.

In one move, you can choose some integer $$$k$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$10$$$ and add it to $$$a$$$ or subtract it from $$$a$$$. In other words, you choose an integer $$$k \in [1; 10]$$$ and perform $$$a := a + k$$$ or $$$a := a - k$$$. You may use different values of $$$k$$$ in different moves.

Your task is to find the minimum number of moves required to obtain $$$b$$$ from $$$a$$$.

You have to answer $$$t$$$ independent test cases.


One very important person has a piece of paper in the form of a rectangle a × b.

Also, he has n seals. Each seal leaves an impression on the paper in the form of a rectangle of the size xi × yi. Each impression must be parallel to the sides of the piece of paper (but seal can be rotated by 90 degrees).

A very important person wants to choose two different seals and put them two impressions. Each of the selected seals puts exactly one impression. Impressions should not overlap (but they can touch sides), and the total area occupied by them should be the largest possible. What is the largest area that can be occupied by two seals?

DZY loves Fast Fourier Transformation, and he enjoys using it.

Fast Fourier Transformation is an algorithm used to calculate convolution. Specifically, if a, b and c are sequences with length n, which are indexed from 0 to n - 1, and

$$c_i = \sum_{j=0}^{i} a_j b_{i-j-1}$$

We can calculate c fast using Fast Fourier Transformation.

DZY made a little change on this formula. Now

$$c_i = \max_{j=0}^{i} a_j b_{i-j}$$

To make things easier, a is a permutation of integers from 1 to n, and b is a sequence only containing 0 and 1. Given a and b, DZY needs your help to calculate c.

Because he is naughty, DZY provides a special way to get a and b. What you need is only three integers n, d, x. After getting them, use the code below to generate a and b.

Operation x % y denotes remainder after division x by y. Function swap(x, y) swaps two values x and y.


Throughout Igor K.'s life he has had many situations worthy of attention. We remember the story with the virus, the story of his mathematical career and of course, his famous programming achievements. However, one does not always adopt new hobbies, one can quit something as well.

This time Igor K. got disappointed in one of his hobbies: editing and voicing videos. Moreover, he got disappointed in it so much, that he decided to destroy his secret archive for good.

Igor K. use Pindows XR operation system which represents files and folders by small icons. At that, m icons can fit in a horizontal row in any window.

Igor K.'s computer contains n folders in the D: disk's root catalog. The folders are numbered from 1 to n in the order from the left to the right and from top to bottom (see the images). At that the folders with secret videos have numbers from a to b inclusive. Igor K. wants to delete them forever, at that making as few frame selections as possible, and then pressing Shift+Delete exactly once. What is the minimum number of times Igor K. will have to select the folder in order to select folders from a to b and only them? Let us note that if some selected folder is selected repeatedly, then it is deselected. Each selection possesses the shape of some rectangle with sides parallel to the screen's borders.


I don't think that matters, as long as rules are applied and enforced consistently. Outside the enthusiast overclocking community though, records like this are irrelevant and, have no bearing on potential performance in normal use.
What good are memory overclocking results if you have to cripple the CPU beyond usefulness to achieve sufficiently low noise and non-memory power to make it work? If you throw away meaningful usability for the sake of pushing GHz no matter what, may as well allow people to use DRAM development boards with semi-custom ASICs and FPGAs too.
If we're going to be testing memory, then do everything else as optimal as possible, if that's cherry-picking a CPU with an insane IMC and disabling some cores, so what? We're testing memory, not CPU. If we were testing CPU cores, then sure, but if we're testing memory?
Also, to take the 20 000 RPM example, why don't we just put a 20000LBS load behind the car and see axles and engine parts fly. The parallel is that the IMC works, but if you lessen the load in other areas, can be pushed even further, same as if we remove that 20kLBS load from behind the car. It won't break (lockup/crash/etc).
And why? Because we're not testing the CPU or IMC, we're testing how well the MEMORY holds up. This is a memory world record, not a CPU or IMC world record.
If AMD had a stronger IMC, then would it be cheating using that? No? Why not?

Policy development working group
Policy is a bedrock for system change. The system change that we are trying to inform concerns IPECP. For example, at the present time we do not have a clear consensus statement about IPECP. IPECP has been a nebulous notion leading to multiple interpretations of its applicability. It has also been some time since the Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education & Collaborative Practice and the Sydney Declaration have been revisited and updated. Therefore, this working group is tasked with developing a briefing note, i.e. a short paper that quickly and effectively inform decision-makers about IPECP, and updating the documents mentioned to serve as guidelines for IPECP implementers.
To inform IPECP policy development the objectives of this Working Group are:
- To seek representation from each member network to form a horizontal Policy Development Working Group.
- To develop a briefing note about IPECP that aligns with existing policy statements regarding the health of populations. For example, the statement might include an overarching description of the problem (current state and desired state), definitions, and longitudinal evaluation metrics.
- To update the WHO Framework of Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (2010) and the Sydney Interprofessional Declaration (2010).
Clarity about the concept of IPECP; Updated documents to inform IPECP policy

Developers can rename a table in SQL Server “Denali”, MS SQL Server 2008 R2 and MS SQL Server 2005 Table Designer, by following the next steps:
1. In Object Explorer, right-click the table they want to rename and choose Design (Modify in SP1 or earlier).
The table opens in the Table Definition window of Table Designer.
2. From the View menu, choose Properties.
3. In the field for the Name value in the Properties window, type a new name for the table.
4. To cancel this action, press the ESC key before leaving this field.
5. From the File menu choose Save table name.
When developers rename a table and save it, its name is automatically updated in the database. Developers have to check in advance existing queries, views, user-defined functions, stored procedures, or programs refer to the renamed table, because its name modification will make these objects invalid.


You've got an array, consisting of n integers: a1, a2, ..., an. Your task is to quickly run the queries of two types:

1. Assign value x to all elements from l to r inclusive. After such query the values of the elements of array al, al + 1, ..., ar become equal to x.
2. Calculate and print sum $$\sum_{i=l}^{r} a_i \cdot (i-l+1)^k$$, where k doesn't exceed 5. As the value of the sum can be rather large, you should print it modulo 1000000007 (109 + 7).


Alice and Bob are playing a game. They have two strings $$$S$$$ and $$$T$$$ of the same length $$$n$$$ consisting of lowercase latin letters. Players take turns alternately, with Alice going first.

On her turn, Alice chooses an integer $$$i$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$, one of the strings $$$S$$$ or $$$T$$$, and any lowercase latin letter $$$c$$$, and replaces the $$$i$$$-th symbol in the chosen string with the character $$$c$$$.

On his turn, Bob chooses one of the strings $$$S$$$ or $$$T$$$, and reverses it. More formally, Bob makes the replacement $$$S := \operatorname{rev}(S)$$$ or $$$T := \operatorname{rev}(T)$$$, where $$$\operatorname{rev}(P) = P_n P_{n-1} \ldots P_1$$$.

The game lasts until the strings $$$S$$$ and $$$T$$$ are equal. As soon as the strings become equal, the game ends instantly.

Define the duration of the game as the total number of moves made by both players during the game. For example, if Alice made $$$2$$$ moves in total, and Bob made $$$1$$$ move, then the duration of this game is $$$3$$$.

Alice's goal is to minimize the duration of the game, and Bob's goal is to maximize the duration of the game.

What will be the duration of the game, if both players play optimally? It can be shown that the game will end in a finite number of turns.


This is so perfect! I have been reading about people in the community creating a dased line for their projects and I am delighted it is so easy!!! Going to be in my computer all day trying all these tips out! Thank you Jules!!!
Just want to remind folks that there is an extension that converts the stroked dashes into actual dashed paths of any line that you make.
You should have been writing the Inkscape tutorials.
Just a forwarding note… Much of what I added to a post on Creating a circular dashed line for perforating applies here as well, with the point being that it applies to more complex shapes rather than simple paths. I think that these two topics should be combined, IMO.
Edit your post and link to it while it is still active. You have about a week, I think.

Leonette Sadler Leonette "Lee" Lorraine (Richter) was born on Jan.
Above all, you and your boyfriend should respect each other.
You aren't one of his fraternity brothers and you don't need to hear about all the notches on his bedpost.
17, 1949, Lee was united in marriage to Donald Sadler at Brainerd, Minn.
They lived in Brainerd, Bemidji, Park Rapids and St.
I'd venture to say a little of both, and now I get to help other people in their effort to do the same.
All are nice, but I'd venture to say the last one is the most important.

Monocarp is going to host a party for his friends. He prepared $$$n$$$ dishes and is about to serve them. First, he has to add some powdered pepper to each of them — otherwise, the dishes will be pretty tasteless.

The $$$i$$$-th dish has two values $$$a_i$$$ and $$$b_i$$$ — its tastiness with red pepper added or black pepper added, respectively. Monocarp won't add both peppers to any dish, won't add any pepper multiple times, and won't leave any dish without the pepper added.

Before adding the pepper, Monocarp should first purchase the said pepper in some shop. There are $$$m$$$ shops in his local area. The $$$j$$$-th of them has packages of red pepper sufficient for $$$x_j$$$ servings and packages of black pepper sufficient for $$$y_j$$$ servings.

Monocarp goes to exactly one shop, purchases multiple (possibly, zero) packages of each pepper in such a way that each dish will get the pepper added once, and no pepper is left. More formally, if he purchases $$$x$$$ red pepper packages and $$$y$$$ black pepper packages, then $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ should be non-negative and $$$x \cdot x_j + y \cdot y_j$$$ should be equal to $$$n$$$.

For each shop, determine the maximum total tastiness of the dishes after Monocarp buys pepper packages only in this shop and adds the pepper to the dishes. If it's impossible to purchase the packages in the said way, print -1.

while playing around with QueXF in order to get accustomed to the system, I followed the instructions to process the example forms (test_blank.pdf + .xml). Somehow the system or I myself got the banding wrong which I realized only after importing some data.
How can I remove the whole thing from the QueXF database so that I can start with “test_blank” from scratch?

The king is left alone on the chessboard. In spite of this loneliness, he doesn't lose heart, because he has business of national importance. For example, he has to pay an official visit to square t. As the king is not in habit of wasting his time, he wants to get from his current position s to square t in the least number of moves. Help him to do this.

In one move the king can get to the square that has a common side or a common vertex with the square the king is currently in (generally there are 8 different squares he can move to).

Right, so I got an issue with my primary gaming computer. My knowledge of computers is that of a stereotypical blond bimbo so I have no idea how to solve it, anyway, when I woke up I started up my computer and it worked just fine like it always did. Used my password to get in and then opened up Opera Web Browser (which had maybe a half a dozen tabs open from the night before) and Itunes, like I always do. I then went out to brew some coffee and when I came back I tried to scroll down on Itunes to select an artist to listen to. Didn't work. Huh... Itunes froze huh? Weird... So I clicked the tab to open up Opera instead at the bottom left corner and the button thingie worked to click, like, it did its little animation to click but it didn't change browsers. Wow, this is weird, both froze? The fuck is going on? So I tried ctrl alt del so I could close them down and restart the computer. Didn't work. So I restarted the computer and I'm greeted with this message: A bit worried, so I looked up the message on google on my phone real quick and saw some people suggesting I check out the hard drive in BIOS on startup. So I did that and I'm like "er.... Fuck do I do here?" Finally, I checked up some youtube videos where they solve this kind of problem and immediately noticed a big fucking difference between them and me. Checl out the BIOS optiobs for this guy: Versus what my BIOS screen looks like: So for the more tech savvy out there, what the hell is going on? Additional notes: I have two hard drives (though upon opening the computer and looking around I can only distinguish one), I have C, which is very small and I have E which is my primary storing device and where I install all my Steam games on. As it says in the picture, there is a slot where another hard drive could be. In the front of the computer is a sliding panel which has a little sticker that says "please shut down the system before swapping the hard drive" so, yeah, it is clearly a slot 'for' a hard drive but there's never been anything in there since I got the computer. Yesterday, the room got way too hot so I opened up a window to cool it down, my PC is right next to the window and often times when there is a sudden shift in air I can hear little... Settling noises... You know, like when a plastic bottle sort of settles when there is a sudden shift in the temperature? Little sort of "pop" noises. Anyway, it's happened before so I've never thought much of it but now I'm wondering if those little noises it would make actually broke somethhing. Fuck if I know, I'm a blond bimbo, remember?


A brick is a strip of size $$$1 \times k$$$, placed horizontally or vertically, where $$$k$$$ can be an arbitrary number that is at least $$$2$$$ ($$$k \ge 2$$$).

A brick wall of size $$$n \times m$$$ is such a way to place several bricks inside a rectangle $$$n \times m$$$, that all bricks lie either horizontally or vertically in the cells, do not cross the border of the rectangle, and that each cell of the $$$n \times m$$$ rectangle belongs to exactly one brick. Here $$$n$$$ is the height of the rectangle $$$n \times m$$$ and $$$m$$$ is the width. Note that there can be bricks with different values of k in the same brick wall.

The wall stability is the difference between the number of horizontal bricks and the number of vertical bricks. Note that if you used $$$0$$$ horizontal bricks and $$$2$$$ vertical ones, then the stability will be $$$-2$$$, not $$$2$$$.

What is the maximal possible stability of a wall of size $$$n \times m$$$?

It is guaranteed that under restrictions in the statement at least one $$$n \times m$$$ wall exists.


Microsoft is at the forefront of the augmented reality revolution with the HoloLens, but the headset has been dogged by complaints that the limited field of view (less than 40 degrees) actually covered by the display makes the marketing of the $3000 headset misleading, despite very few of the actual users complaining of the issue.
Now Microsoft has posited a potential solution for the issue, but one which is unlikely to make the device much cheaper.
In a patent application they write:
Display technologies that may be used for a near-eye display/HMD device include waveguide-based, birdbath, lightfield, and other suitable display configurations. However, each type of display may provide a distinct set of advantages and disadvantages. For example, waveguide-based and birdbath devices may provide high-resolution images with high sharpness and contrast ratios, but may only display across a narrow field of view with weak or no depth cues and low occlusion effects when presented over real-world objects (as viewed through the see-through display). Lightfield displays, such as pinlight displays, may provide images across a wide field of view with perceptible depth cues and the ability to occlude portions of a real-world environment (as viewed through the see-through display). However, such lightfield displays may suffer from low resolution, contrast, and sharpness, resulting in low quality images relative to the waveguide-based/birdbath configurations.
The HoloLens uses a waveguide display, which offers a sharp, high resolution but small field of view image, while the unicorn-like MagicLeap was meant to use lighfield technology, which offers a larger field of view and ability to be completely opaque to the outside world, but is less sharp and offers lower resolution.
Now Microsoft proposes to combine the advantages of both technologies by stacking the two type of displays.
The present disclosure recognizes the complementary features of the above-described display configurations and provides display systems and methods that combine two types of display configurations to selectively present virtual objects via one or both of the types of display configurations based on features of the virtual objects. For example, in a display system with two types of display configurations, virtual objects to be presented in a periphery of a user’s viewspace (e.g., the viewspace of the user through a see-through display) may be presented via a display configuration that has a wide field of view. The location of the virtual object may be outside of the field of view of a display configuration with a narrow field of view, and the low resolution/quality of images produced by the configuration with a wide field of view may be tolerable in the peripheral region (e.g., as the user is not directly viewing the object). Other features taken into consideration when selectively presenting virtual objects via different display configurations of a display system will be described in more detail below.
The two displays could be used in various intelligent ways, such as showing some elements only on one display, or using the ability to black out a background using the lightfield display and then adding detail using the waveguide display.
Combining the techniques could improve the field of view from 40 degrees to 80-90 degrees and also improve the quality of the images overall, but we suspect at significant cost to complexity and monetary cost.
The full patent can be seen here.


today I started rebuilding the site. All my games are now shown on one page, accessed by clicking 'Games' in the upper bar or 'Overview' in the submenu of Games. All other submenus are now links to the pages on other webpages (YY is YoYoGames, GJ is GameJolt). Further was the 'online' Highscore List on Micro Massive removed since nobody used it anyway. You can still send in GEM creations.
This is the start of the changes I'm I hope the site rebuild will become great.


Happy new year! The year 2020 is also known as Year Gyeongja (경자년, gyeongja-nyeon) in Korea. Where did the name come from? Let's briefly look at the Gapja system, which is traditionally used in Korea to name the years.

There are two sequences of $$$n$$$ strings $$$s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots, s_{n}$$$ and $$$m$$$ strings $$$t_1, t_2, t_3, \ldots, t_{m}$$$. These strings contain only lowercase letters. There might be duplicates among these strings.

Let's call a concatenation of strings $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ as the string that is obtained by writing down strings $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ one right after another without changing the order. For example, the concatenation of the strings "code" and "forces" is the string "codeforces".

The year 1 has a name which is the concatenation of the two strings $$$s_1$$$ and $$$t_1$$$. When the year increases by one, we concatenate the next two strings in order from each of the respective sequences. If the string that is currently being used is at the end of its sequence, we go back to the first string in that sequence.

For example, if $$$n = 3, m = 4, s = $$${"a", "b", "c"}, $$$t =$$$ {"d", "e", "f", "g"}, the following table denotes the resulting year names. Note that the names of the years may repeat.

You are given two sequences of strings of size $$$n$$$ and $$$m$$$ and also $$$q$$$ queries. For each query, you will be given the current year. Could you find the name corresponding to the given year, according to the Gapja system?


I came across this error when I tried to update my RubyGems because my Rails wanted version 1.3.1 and I was having 1.2.0.
When I wrote “sudo gem update –system” on the terminal I came across the following error :
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner(NameError)
So the solution is to add require ‘rubygems/gem_runner’ line to /usr/bin/gem . If you don’t know how to do this or if you are a newbie, don’t worry, I am explaining it below .
Step 1 : Go to the terminal and type the following
$ cd /usr/bin/
This will move you to the folder /usr/bin/
Step 2 : Type the following command to open up file in text editor
$ sudo pico gem and enter your password
Step 3 : Add the line ‘rubygems/gem_runner’ to the gem file that opens up after Step 2 ,
Add the line before require ‘rubygems’
Step 4 : Press Ctrl+X to save the file and exit
4a) Press ‘Y’ if you think you have done the relevant changes correctly and want to save the file. Otherwise,
Press ‘N’ and move out without saving.
4b) If you press ‘Y’ in the previous step, it will ask you if you want to save the file with same name? , Just
press ‘Enter’ and move out.
I hope this solution will help you to solve your problem. I was successful in solving my problem on my Ubuntu 8.04.


Web Apps / Web Based Mobile Applications
Web Application Designers and Developers in Dublin, Ireland
What’s a web application, anyway?
In a nutshell, a web-based application uses a website as the interface, allowing anyone with an internet connection and browser to interact with it. Google Docs, for example, is a web-based application which, unlike Microsoft Office, does not require any installation on your device. You might expect an application to be a lighter version of its desktop counterpart, but it can be just as powerful – if not better – and allow users to share instantly.
As the technology advances and the programming landscape changes to accomodate the world’s growing technological needs, Dublin Web Designers constantly evaluates the latest trends in the development community. We improve ourselves to provide our clients the best possible development solutions.
Still not convinced?
At Dublin Web Designers have experience in deploying large scale web application projects, working closely in consultation with our clients throughout.

I am using NeHe’s Win32 framework for a setup/launcher app to be used for setup and launching of another OpenGL based application (just like Descent3’s launcher). I start the launcher, blit an image to the background, and draw selectable objects on top of the image that have various behaviors when clicked. All is well with just one problem …
The user can resize the window. I need to be able to restrict the window to the background image size of 640x480. Anyone know how to force a Win32 window to be a fixed size? I’m sure this won’t take more than a few lines of code but, having little Win32 app dev experience I don’t know where to look for help. I have searched the MSDN docs and found nothing suitable. Any help would be appreciated including keywords to search for and techniques.
Change the window style. If you use the Nehe framework, then find CreateWindow (or CreateWindowEx) and change the third (or fourth) parameter to for example WS_POPUP or WS_OVERLAPPED (NOT the version with -WINDOW in behind, for ex. WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, that will create the sizeable border). Have a look at this in MSDN, there are many other options for window style.
Thanks a lot that worked … here is my code :
dwStyle = WS_BORDER|WS_CAPTION;
AdjustWindowRectEx(&WindowRect, dwStyle, FALSE, dwExStyle);
// Create The Window
MessageBox(NULL,“Window Creation Error.”,“ERROR”,MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
I had to add an option for the close box …


You have a Petri dish with bacteria and you are preparing to dive into the harsh micro-world. But, unfortunately, you don't have any microscope nearby, so you can't watch them.

You know that you have $$$n$$$ bacteria in the Petri dish and size of the $$$i$$$-th bacteria is $$$a_i$$$. Also you know intergalactic positive integer constant $$$K$$$.

The $$$i$$$-th bacteria can swallow the $$$j$$$-th bacteria if and only if $$$a_i > a_j$$$ and $$$a_i \le a_j + K$$$. The $$$j$$$-th bacteria disappear, but the $$$i$$$-th bacteria doesn't change its size. The bacteria can perform multiple swallows. On each swallow operation any bacteria $$$i$$$ can swallow any bacteria $$$j$$$ if $$$a_i > a_j$$$ and $$$a_i \le a_j + K$$$. The swallow operations go one after another.

For example, the sequence of bacteria sizes $$$a=[101, 53, 42, 102, 101, 55, 54]$$$ and $$$K=1$$$. The one of possible sequences of swallows is: $$$[101, 53, 42, 102, \underline{101}, 55, 54]$$$ $$$\to$$$ $$$[101, \underline{53}, 42, 102, 55, 54]$$$ $$$\to$$$ $$$[\underline{101}, 42, 102, 55, 54]$$$ $$$\to$$$ $$$[42, 102, 55, \underline{54}]$$$ $$$\to$$$ $$$[42, 102, 55]$$$. In total there are $$$3$$$ bacteria remained in the Petri dish.

Since you don't have a microscope, you can only guess, what the minimal possible number of bacteria can remain in your Petri dish when you finally will find any microscope.

Chapter 1773 – Final Stand I waves ambiguous
Even though the Bloodline Furnace Potion is risky for those humans with Bloodline, it is actually all the more risky to those people without Bloodline.
the honorable miss
Our tools clashed, and like before, she blasted off like a ragged doll that may be kicked too much.
The amount of time of your finished stand is here, if her Bloodline survived, it will make improvements beyond her thoughts, however, if it was unsuccessful, not alone her Bloodline are going to be burnt to ashes, but so is she.
I glanced their way for just a moment ahead of I on target back about the struggle, despite numerous problems working during my thoughts relating to quick physical appearance.
Secs pa.s.sed by, and Elina and failed to disappoint as her aura persisted to rise rapidly I needed to utilize increasingly more sturdiness to cope with her increasing energy.
Tales of Fantasy and Fact
Her durability continues to be in the Emperor Phase, and unless it actually reaches the Tyrant Level, my physiological strength would be more than enough to take care of strikes h.e.l.l, regardless of whether it techniques the Tyrant, I should be able to contend with her without summoning my armor.

“In the event you can’t do this type of easy issue, i will likely need to help you neutralize the effectiveness of the potion,” I stated, a peek of big surprise sprang out in her eyes.
5 minutes pa.s.sed by, as well as the potion starts to show its genuine strength. It obtained begun to overpower her Bloodline and attack her physique.
The potency of the potion is improving, and her Bloodline is simply not advancing rapid plenty of. If it ongoing, she are usually in great hassle.
I will carry on and power her to advance even though she possessed started developing quickly, it really is nevertheless inadequate to counter the potion she is currently battling a giving up struggle, however if she kept evolving while using increasing velocity, she might be able to make it to the equilibrium along with the potion ahead of crus.h.i.+ng it.

Seeing that a smile couldn’t help but display on my facial area, though her development is just not ample to undo that problems as well as ceased it. She actually is generating improvement in a faster performance, and if it ongoing to take place, then she could possibly contend versus the potion on the individual.
Her power still is throughout the Emperor Level, and unless it gets to the Tyrant Phase, my actual physical strength can be more than sufficient to take care of strikes h.e.l.l, regardless if it methods the Tyrant, I will contend with her without summoning my armour.
Seeing that a grin couldn’t help but show on my facial area, though her growth will not be sufficient to undo that damages and even stopped it. She actually is making advancement at the faster pace, and in case it continued to occur, then she could possibly contend with the potion on her own.
As a result of armour, I really could not see very much, but from what I could see from the state of her sight, which seemed to have dried out and searched very frightening, her issue is now quite a whole lot worse. As opposed to her Bloodline, her system does not have the benefit it can burn to ashes well before her Bloodline could.
Our tools clashed, and like just before, she blasted off like a ragged doll that may be kicked too difficult.
Her toughness continues to be inside the Emperor Level, and unless it grows to the Tyrant Phase, my physical toughness could be more than sufficient to deal with assaults h.e.l.l, even though it options the Tyrant, I is able to cope with her without summoning my armor.
I glanced their way for a second right before I on target back about the challenge, in spite of a lot of concerns working in my mind about their quick visual appearance.
Considering that a grin couldn’t support but show up on my facial area, even though her advance is just not ample to undo that damage or maybe discontinued it. She actually is making progress at the faster rate, and in case it continuing to happen, then she might be able to contend resistant to the potion on the possess.
A few minutes pa.s.sed by, and also the potion begins to demonstrate its true toughness. It experienced begun to overpower her Bloodline and infiltration her system.

Our weaponry clashed, and like ahead of, she blasted off just like a ragged doll that is kicked too rigorous.
I persisted striking her, taunting her, forcing her to look out more of her possible ways to combat with the power of the potion, and she is carrying out excellent, yet it is still inadequate she will need to do much better if she would like to thrive.
the final protectors
Her energy remains to be within the Emperor Period, and unless it reaches the Tyrant Period, my actual energy will be ample to manage episodes h.e.l.l, even if it options the Tyrant, I will take care of her without summoning my armor.
Her strike was rapid and brimming with durability, and seeing the distance we had been ranking, her sword shown up next to me right away. There was not really sign of surprise in doing my sight as a substitute, I simply let out a have a good laugh, and before my have fun even concluded, my sword showed up next to hers.
The Cosmic Elemental Energies I had acquired in the twins have granted a big increse in ability without stuffing a single hexagonal cube. My existing toughness is comparable to the Above common Tyrant, which is shocking, experiencing I am nonetheless an Emperor.
Her strike was speedy and loaded with durability, to see the space we had been standing, her sword appeared near to me immediately. There seemed to be not a touch of astonish inside my vision preferably, I enable out a have a good laugh, and right before my have fun even complete, my sword made an appearance adjacent to hers.

Using Kantu, how can we DragandDrop a specific draggable element at specific location in HTML canvas? please provide insight
How does your canvas look? A screenshot would be helpful.
Timo , Thanks for the consideration
Please find the details
Entire canvas is a single object and xpath= //*[@id=“drawing-diagram”]/canvas and doesn’t expose any element.
We have to drag an item from left list to canvas
XClick can do this. You can identify the the object visually (via its image) or via its displayed name (e. g. the word “Decoders” on the left hand side). For name text recognition the OCR feature is used, see XClick | ocr=Decoders
The “DemoXClick” macro that ships with Kantu shows how the canvas test automation works.
If this is a public website, I can create a short demo macro for you.
Thanks for the reply with details. I am able to drag and drop but it drops all items to the left top corner of the canvas regions. but my question was how to drop to specific (X,Y) region of the canvas (black region)?
Once again thanks for your consideration
how to drop to specific (X,Y) region of the canvas (black region)?
In general the easiest method to click inside a canvas is to find a certain image or text inside the canvas (= just like @Timo suggested). This works well, for example, on a maps canvas. But from your screenshot I understand that your canvas is all black, so there is no image or text to search for.
For your black canvas you can use these methods:
XClick | x,y- If you know the coordinates that you want to click on, you can use them directly as input for XClick. x,y are in browser coordinates, so the top left point in the viewport is 0,0.
XClick | image_relative.png- If you don’t know the coordinates you can use image search with relative clicks. “Relative” means that Kantu finds an image (the content of the green box) and then clicks inside the pink box relative to it. You can draw these boxes either with the Kantu built-in editor or any other drawing software. Kantu’s image recognition finds the boxes from their color.
Both methods are used in the “DemoCanvas” macro that ships with Kantu.
Of course the anchor image (green box) can also be an image outside of the canvas, something that is on the website nearby.
Unforunately it didn’t work with Xclick. However dragAndDropToObject function worked to drop however only into one place not to specified XY coordinates. .
Can you provide me sample syntax to DragandDrop with following source and destination
Drap element link=MB4 or Image.png and drop to xpath= //*[@id=“drawing-diagram”]/canvas or canvas.png with X,Y coordinates
Please let me know if you found any solution for the above scenario
I am 99% sure the XClick method will work. If you can give me access to the website I can create a quick demo. You can email us the URL, if you prefer.
Unfortunately it is an internal application and will not be access it from out side. Let me know if we can have an online session on coming Monday IST evening your time?
That will work. Please contact us directly to discuss the best time for the online session. Tech support is located in Europe (GMT + 1). In your email, just mention this forum post.

Improve performance in the editor We stop setting viewportMargin and instead use the default value. We also add support for the inbuilt search support within codemirror. This is because with the removal of viewportMargin you cannot use the browsers search to search for the code. In my view i think this is a good trade off as you'll still be able to search using the codemirror searching support whilst improving performance for large documents. In GWTUI we didn't set viewportMargin. Bug: Issue 14845 Change-Id: I84f12168c4784cf40ca102f025b7805b44bc9d9a
A plugin that uses CodeMirror to provide a rich code editing experience in PolyGerrit.
This plugin is rewritten into Polymer 3 syntax. The
gr-editor.js is the main entry for the plugin.
But to support the lazy load on the
codemirror with supported languages, we still have the
codemirror-element.html as an asset which still built separately as an html.
We may consider drop the selectively language support and in favor of all-in-one bundle in the future or change build rule to support bundle
js to move off of the html completely.
To run UI tests here will need install dependencies from both npm and bower.
npm run wct-test should take care both for you, read more in
You will need
polymer-bridges which is a submodule you can clone from: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/polymer-bridges
As polymer 3 no longer support
Polymer.importHref anymore, this plugin still supports it through a custom implementation in
bazel build :codemirror_editor
gerrit/plugins/codemirror-editor/folder and it will automatically served at
If your plugin is already enabled, then you can block it and then inject the compiled local verison.

Radiomics uses quantitative medical imaging features to predict clinical outcomes. While many radiomics methods have been described in the literature, these are generally designed for a single application. The aim of this study is to generalize radiomics across applications by proposing a framework to automatically construct and optimize the radiomics workflow per application. To this end, we formulate radiomics as a modular workflow, consisting of several components: image and segmentation preprocessing, feature extraction, feature and sample preprocessing, and machine learning. For each component, a collection of common algorithms is included. To optimize the workflow per application, we employ automated machine learning using a random search and ensembling. We evaluate our method in twelve different clinical applications, resulting in the following area under the curves: 1) liposarcoma (0.83); 2) desmoid-type fibromatosis (0.82); 3) primary liver tumors (0.81); 4) gastrointestinal stromal tumors (0.77); 5) colorectal liver metastases (0.68); 6) melanoma metastases (0.51); 7) hepatocellular carcinoma (0.75); 8) mesenteric fibrosis (0.81); 9) prostate cancer (0.72); 10) glioma (0.70); 11) Alzheimer's disease (0.87); and 12) head and neck cancer (0.84). Concluding, our method fully automatically constructs and optimizes the radiomics workflow, thereby streamlining the search for radiomics biomarkers in new applications. To facilitate reproducibility and future research, we publicly release six datasets, the software implementation of our framework (open-source), and the code to reproduce this study.
Distinguishing gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) from other intra-abdominal tumors and GISTs molecular analysis is necessary for treatment planning, but challenging due to its rarity. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiomics for distinguishing GISTs from other intra-abdominal tumors, and in GISTs, predict the c-KIT, PDGFRA,BRAF mutational status and mitotic index (MI). All 247 included patients (125 GISTS, 122 non-GISTs) underwent a contrast-enhanced venous phase CT. The GIST vs. non-GIST radiomics model, including imaging, age, sex and location, had a mean area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82. Three radiologists had an AUC of 0.69, 0.76, and 0.84, respectively. The radiomics model had an AUC of 0.52 for c-KIT, 0.56 for c-KIT exon 11, and 0.52 for the MI. Hence, our radiomics model was able to distinguish GIST from non-GISTS with a performance similar to three radiologists, but was not able to predict the c-KIT mutation or MI.
We focus on the problem of training convolutional neural networks on gigapixel histopathology images to predict image-level targets. For this purpose, we extend Neural Image Compression (NIC), an image compression framework that reduces the dimensionality of these images using an encoder network trained unsupervisedly. We propose to train this encoder using supervised multitask learning (MTL) instead. We applied the proposed MTL NIC to two histopathology datasets and three tasks. First, we obtained state-of-the-art results in the Tumor Proliferation Assessment Challenge of 2016 (TUPAC16). Second, we successfully classified histopathological growth patterns in images with colorectal liver metastasis (CLM). Third, we predicted patient risk of death by learning directly from overall survival in the same CLM data. Our experimental results suggest that the representations learned by the MTL objective are: (1) highly specific, due to the supervised training signal, and (2) transferable, since the same features perform well across different tasks. Additionally, we trained multiple encoders with different training objectives, e.g. unsupervised and variants of MTL, and observed a positive correlation between the number of tasks in MTL and the system performance on the TUPAC16 dataset.


This is the hard version of the problem. The difference between the versions is that in the easy version all prices $$$a_i$$$ are different. You can make hacks if and only if you solved both versions of the problem.

Today is Sage's birthday, and she will go shopping to buy ice spheres. All $$$n$$$ ice spheres are placed in a row and they are numbered from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$ from left to right. Each ice sphere has a positive integer price. In this version, some prices can be equal.

An ice sphere is cheap if it costs strictly less than two neighboring ice spheres: the nearest to the left and the nearest to the right. The leftmost and the rightmost ice spheres are not cheap. Sage will choose all cheap ice spheres and then buy only them.

You can visit the shop before Sage and reorder the ice spheres as you wish. Find out the maximum number of ice spheres that Sage can buy, and show how the ice spheres should be reordered.

A logistic function or logistic curve models the S-curve of growth of some set P. The initial stage of growth is approximately exponential; then, as saturation begins, the growth slows, and at maturity, growth stops.
As shown below, the untrammeled growth can be modelled as a rate term +rKP (a percentage of P). But then, as the population grows, some members of P (modelled as −rP2) interfere with each other in competition for some critical resource (which can be called the bottleneck, modelled by K). This competition diminishes the growth rate, until the set P ceases to grow (this is called maturity).
A logistic function is defined by the mathematical formula:
An important application of the logistic function is in the Rasch model, used in item response theory. In particular, the Rasch model forms a basis for maximum likelihood estimation of the locations of objects or persons on a continuum, based on collections of categorical data, for example the abilities of persons on a continuum based on responses that have been categorized as correct and incorrect.
The Verhulst equation
A typical application of the logistic equation is a common model of population growth, which states that:
- the rate of reproduction is proportional to the existing population, all else being equal
- the rate of reproduction is proportional to the amount of available resources, all else being equal. Thus the second term models the competition for available resources, which tends to limit the population growth.
Letting P represent population size (N is often used in ecology instead) and t represent time, this model is formalized by the differential equation:
where the constant defines the growth rate and is the carrying capacity. In ecology, species are sometimes referred to as r-strategist or K-strategist depending upon the selective processes that have shaped their life history strategies. The solution to the equation (with being the initial population) is
- Main article: sigmoid function
The special case of the logistic function with a = 1, m = 0, n = 1, τ = 1, namely
is called sigmoid function or sigmoid curve. The name is due to the sigmoid shape of its graph. This function is also called the standard logistic function and is often encountered in many technical domains, especially in artificial neural networks as a transfer function, probability, statistics, biomathematics, mathematical psychology and economics.
Properties of the sigmoid function
The (standard) sigmoid function is the solution of the first-order non-linear differential equation
with boundary condition P(0) = 1/2. Equation (2) is the continuous version of the logistic map.
The sigmoid curve shows early exponential growth for negative t, which slows to linear growth of slope 1/4 near t = 0, then approaches y = 1 with an exponentially decaying gap.
The logistic function is the inverse of the natural logit function and so can be used to convert the logarithm of odds into a probability; the conversion from the log-likelihood ratio of two alternatives also takes the form of a sigmoid curve.
Verhulst derived his logistic equation to describe the self-limiting growth of a biological population. The equation is also sometimes called the Verhulst-Pearl equation following its rediscovery in 1920. Alfred J. Lotka derived the equation again in 1925, calling it the law of population growth.

A famous gang of pirates, Sea Dogs, has come back to their hideout from one of their extravagant plunders. They want to split their treasure fairly amongst themselves, that is why You, their trusted financial advisor, devised a game to help them:

All of them take a sit at their round table, some of them with the golden coins they have just stolen. At each iteration of the game if one of them has equal or more than 2 coins, he is eligible to the splitting and he gives one coin to each pirate sitting next to him. If there are more candidates (pirates with equal or more than 2 coins) then You are the one that chooses which one of them will do the splitting in that iteration. The game ends when there are no more candidates eligible to do the splitting.

Pirates can call it a day, only when the game ends. Since they are beings with a finite amount of time at their disposal, they would prefer if the game that they are playing can end after finite iterations, and if so, they call it a good game. On the other hand, if no matter how You do the splitting, the game cannot end in finite iterations, they call it a bad game. Can You help them figure out before they start playing if the game will be good or bad?


You are given an strictly convex polygon with n vertices. It is guaranteed that no three points are collinear. You would like to take a maximum non intersecting path on the polygon vertices that visits each point at most once.

More specifically your path can be represented as some sequence of distinct polygon vertices. Your path is the straight line segments between adjacent vertices in order. These segments are not allowed to touch or intersect each other except at the vertices in your sequence.

Given the polygon, print the maximum length non-intersecting path that visits each point at most once.


I'm really struggling with the following problem. Do you have any pointers on how I would be able to go about solving it numerically? It is a partial differential equation.
dC/dt = A d2C/dz2 - B dC/dz
A and B are constants.
I am unsure how to go about solving it when there are three variables. The idea of the equation is to plot concentration against time in a packed bad adsorber.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Just like Captain Caveman and Jabberjaw, Tommaso and I are boiling the ocean! This is another installment of Tommaso’s exploration of game development, and he had the idea to turn this into a regular game development log update, so this is log update 0 (not sure why he wanted to start at zero, but he’s in charge). This video was a manageable 20 minutes, and it gives you a pretty good idea of how locked in he is to created the Megashark game in Unity. It features him showing off the bi-plane dropping bombs on the shark, the game physics that make it possible, and some on and off banter as he is easily distracted from the task at hand.
I have to say doing this is a total blast, and just a few short days after hatching the shark game idea he is really running with it. I am liking his vision of it a lot, and it got me thinking there could be a USS Indianapolis plot line we could take advantage of, but Tommaso is sage in his reservations given potential historical backlash. I’m excited to see where this does, and doing a vlog like this with one of my kids is kind of a dream come true 🙂

Issues solved, the system volume was behaving as though it was case sensitive, even though the volume info said "case sensitive no". The whole "case sensitive" volume thing is kind of odd to say the least. I found another post on the forum that mentioned the same error I'd encountered, which prompted me to to check the my system volume. I confirmed the disk was acting as though it was case sensitive. I was able to create a file "FRED" and another file "fred" in the same directory. I reformatted the drive -- APFS non-case sensitive, reinstalled Big Sur Public Beta, a couple other apps and then VW 2021 SP-1 and it's working well. In regards to Security & Privacy system settings I see VW 2021 Installer having full disk access but find no other entries for VW in the Privacy tab. Thank you for your help.
Thank you -- I did some digging on the security features and found what you mentioned about the access control per application, sadly -- see below Vectorworks 2021 was not listed in the access control list -- I added it -- granting full access to Vectorworks and even to the other supplied apps in the VW 2021 folder, but no luck. I'm still getting the same message. It does not appear to make any difference if I grant full access or just files and folders. I did not see any mention of allowing access during any of the installs I've done ? I'm curious what settings for that access you have enabled on your Mac Thanks
In preparation for upgrading from 10.14 Mojave I figured I'd try to jump to Big Sur, so I've installed the public beta 11.0, (20A5395g ) on a fresh disk, do a clean install, yes painful but I'd like leave 7 years of accumulated stuff behind and start fresh. Installed 2021 SP1 and had no issued during the install but it won't run. I get this message I've reinstalled, and thinking it was having issues with the install on my other drive, Mojave, (which is working fine). I had only the clean install of Big Sur drive mounted. Vectorworks 26.0.1 in installed in the Application/Vectorworks 2021 folder -- nothing moved, license registered, but still .... I called support and was told they don't support Big Sur -- but if they have posted news and created a thread here, how do they expect to get some feed back ? Thank you Yes, this is my first post here

This chapter introduces the features for the Sun Fire family of entry-level midrange servers-the E2900/V1280/Netra 1280 systems.The objective of this chapter is to provide you with a basic understanding of the features of Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems.
The procedural overview of how to set up your system, and detailed procedures, is covered in Chapter 2.
The System Controller is an embedded system resident on the IB_SSC Assembly which connects to the system baseplane. The system controller is responsible for providing the Lights Out Management (LOM) functions which include power on sequencing, sequencing module power on self tests (POST), environmental monitoring, fault indication and alarms.
The System Controller provides an RS232 serial interface and one 10/100 Ethernet interface. Access to the LOM command line interface and the Solaris/OpenBoot PROM console is shared and obtained through these interfaces.
System Controller functions include:
The software application running on the System Controller provides a command line interface for you to modify system settings.
The following ports are on the rear of the system:
Their locations are shown in FIGURE 1-1.
The console serial port and 10/100 Ethernet port can be used to access the System Controller.
Use the console serial port to connect directly to an ASCII terminal or a NTS (network terminal server). Connecting the System Controller board with a serial cable enables you to access the System Controller command line interface with an ASCII terminal or an NTS.
Use the 10/100 Ethernet port to connect the System Controller to the network.
The LOM prompt provides the command line interface for the System Controller. It is also the place where console messages are displayed.
The prompt is:
Some of the system management tasks are shown in TABLE 1-1.
If the Solaris operating environment, the OpenBoot PROM, or POST is running, you can access the Solaris console. When you connect to the Solaris console, you will be in one of the following modes of operation:
To switch between these prompts and the LOM prompt, refer to Switching Between the Different Consoles.
There are sensors that monitor temperature, voltage, and cooling.
The System Controller polls these sensors in a timely manner and makes the environmental data available. If necessary, the System Controller shuts down various components to prevent damage.
For instance, in the case of an overtemperature, the System Controller notifies the Solaris operating environment of the overtemperature and the operating environment takes action. In the case of extreme overtemperature, the System Controller software can shut down the system without first notifying the operating environment.
The system indicator board contains the On/Standby switch and indicator LEDs as shown in FIGURE 1-2.
The indicator LEDs function as shown in TABLE 1-2.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are features of this system. The descriptions of these features are:
The following sections provide details on RAS. For more hardware-related information on RAS, refer to the Sun Fire E2900 System Service Manual or Sun Fire V1280/Netra 1280 Service Manual, as appropriate. For RAS features that involve the Solaris operating environment, refer to the Sun Hardware Platform Guide.
The software reliability features include:
The reliability features also improve system availability.
The power-on self-test (POST) is part of powering on the system. If the board or component failed testing, POST disables components or boards. The showboards command displays the board as either being failed or degraded. The system, running the Solaris operating environment, is booted only with components that have passed POST testing.
The system controller provides component-level status and user-controlled modification of component status.
Set the component location status by running the setls command from the console. The component location status is updated at the next domain reboot, board power cycle, or POST execution (for example, POST is run whenever you perform a setkeyswitch on or off operation).
Note - The enablecomponent and disablecomponent commands have been replaced by the setls command. These commands were formerly used to manage component resources. While the enablecomponent and disablecomponent commands are still available, it is suggested that you use the setls command to control the configuration of components into or out of the system.
The showcomponent command displays status information about the component, including whether or not it has been disabled.
The System Controller monitors the system's temperature, cooling, and voltage sensors. The System Controller provides the latest environmental status information to the Solaris operating environment. If hardware needs to be powered off, the System Controller notifies the Solaris operating environment to perform a system shutdown.
The software availability features include:
The following components can be dynamically reconfigured:
On recovery from a power outage, the System Controller attempts to restore the system to its previous state.
The System Controller can be rebooted and will start up and resume management of the system. The reboot does not disturb the currently running Solaris operating environment.
The System Controller monitors the state of the Solaris operating environment and will initiate a reset if Solaris stops responding.
The software serviceability features promote the efficiency and timeliness of providing routine as well as emergency service to the system.
All field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are accessible from outside the system have LEDs that indicate their state. The System Controller manages all the LEDs in the system, with the exception of the power supply LEDs, which are managed by the power supplies. For a discussion of LED functions, refer to the appropriate board or device chapter of the Sun Fire E2900 System Service Manual or Sun Fire V1280/Netra 1280 Service Manual, as appropriate.
The System Controller, the Solaris operating environment, the power-on self-test (POST), and the OpenBoot PROM error messages use FRU name identifiers that match the physical labels in the system. The only exception is the OpenBoot PROM nomenclature used for I/O devices, which use the device path names as described in Chapter 8, to indicate I/O devices during device probing.
System Controller error messages are automatically notified to the Solaris operating environment. The System Controller also has an internal buffer where error messages are stored. You can display the System Controller logged events, stored in the System Controller message buffer, by using the showlogs command.
The System Controller reset command enables you to recover from a hung system and extract a Solaris operating environment core file..
