The Greatest Secret Ever consists of n words, indexed by positive integers from 1 to n. The secret needs dividing between k Keepers (let's index them by positive integers from 1 to k), the i-th Keeper gets a non-empty set of words with numbers from the set Ui = (ui, 1, ui, 2, ..., ui, |Ui|). Here and below we'll presuppose that the set elements are written in the increasing order.

We'll say that the secret is safe if the following conditions are hold:

- for any two indexes i, j (1 ≤ i < j ≤ k) the intersection of sets Ui and Uj is an empty set;
- the union of sets U1, U2, ..., Uk is set (1, 2, ..., n);
- in each set Ui, its elements ui, 1, ui, 2, ..., ui, |Ui| do not form an arithmetic progression (in particular, |Ui| ≥ 3 should hold).

Let us remind you that the elements of set (u1, u2, ..., us) form an arithmetic progression if there is such number d, that for all i (1 ≤ i < s) fulfills ui + d = ui + 1. For example, the elements of sets (5), (1, 10) and (1, 5, 9) form arithmetic progressions and the elements of sets (1, 2, 4) and (3, 6, 8) don't.

Your task is to find any partition of the set of words into subsets U1, U2, ..., Uk so that the secret is safe. Otherwise indicate that there's no such partition.


You are given a positive integer $$$n$$$, written without leading zeroes (for example, the number 04 is incorrect).

In one operation you can delete any digit of the given integer so that the result remains a positive integer without leading zeros.

Determine the minimum number of operations that you need to consistently apply to the given integer $$$n$$$ to make from it the square of some positive integer or report that it is impossible.

An integer $$$x$$$ is the square of some positive integer if and only if $$$x=y^2$$$ for some positive integer $$$y$$$.


Ksusha is a vigorous mathematician. She is keen on absolutely incredible mathematical riddles.

Today Ksusha came across a convex polygon of non-zero area. She is now wondering: if she chooses a pair of distinct points uniformly among all integer points (points with integer coordinates) inside or on the border of the polygon and then draws a square with two opposite vertices lying in the chosen points, what will the expectation of this square's area be?

A pair of distinct points is chosen uniformly among all pairs of distinct points, located inside or on the border of the polygon. Pairs of points p, q (p ≠ q) and q, p are considered the same.

Help Ksusha! Count the required expectation.


QEMU is an an open source processor emulator (and virtualizer). This document descripes howto run the OpenWrt x86 port in QEMU.
It is mixed descriptions from windows and linux, so please read through all of it before starting.
Choosing different emulation settings can affect performance greatly.
Example: 30s iperf-s@openwrt(qemu running on host) to host
ne2k_pci:0.0-31.3 sec 14.6 MBytes 3.92 Mbits/sec pcnet: 0.0-30.0 sec 2.38 GBytes 682 Mbits/sec e1000: 0.0-30.0 sec 6.23 GBytes 1.79 Gbits/sec vmxnet3: 0.0-30.0 sec 8.67 GBytes 2.48 Gbits/sec virtio-net-pci: 0.0-30.0 sec 44.6 GBytes 12.8 Gbits/sec
Qemu runs on many different systems.
Many Linux Distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora provide a qemu package in their package repositories.
Example for Debian 7 (Wheezy):
sudo apt-get install qemu
Qemu is rapidly developing so features, syntax might change between versions.
The QEMU Wiki Links page provides you with several unoffical download links of Windows builds.
Command line to get it booting (without a storage device):
qemu-system-arm -M realview-eb-mpcore -kernel openwrt-realview-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -net nic -net user -nographic
Basically, use the generated initramfs image as the
This target does not support booting from hard disk (
-hda or other syntax); emulation of the PCI bus is missing (source). However, realview does support SD card image files (
-sd filename.img); see below.
(Note: The SD card image generation is in OpenWRT SVN r46924 on newer; it will be part of the Designated Driver release.)
Download a nightly kernel and SD-card image from https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/realview/generic/ - download both
openwrt-realview-sdcard.img. Alternatively, you can build your own by choosing the
realview target in
make menuconfig and then start the build with
make world (look for the generated files under
Then start QEMU with the following command:
qemu-system-arm -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 1024M -nographic \ -kernel openwrt-realview-vmlinux.elf \ -sd openwrt-realview-sdcard.img \ -append "console=ttyAMA0 verbose debug root=/dev/mmcblk0p1"
-sd rootfs.ext4 \ -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0"
at least qemu 2.0 required
slightly modified from target/linx/arm64/README:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -nographic \ -smp 1 -m 2048 \ -kernel bin/arm64/openwrt-arm64-qemu-virt-initramfs.Image \ --append "console=ttyAMA0"
Use QEMU >= 2.2 (earlier versions can have bugs with MIPS16) ticket 16881 - Ubuntu 14.03.x LTS uses qemu 2.0 which is has this bug.
The "malta" platform is meant for use with QEMU for emulating a MIPS system.
malta target supports both big and little-endian variants, pick the matching files and qemu version (
qemu-system-mipsel -kernel openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256
In recent enough versions one can enable ext4 root filesystem image building, and since r46269 ( only in trunk, it's not part of the 15.05 CC release) it's possible to boot straight from that image (without an initramfs):
qemu-system-mipsel -M malta \ -hda openwrt-malta-le-root.ext4 \ -kernel openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux.elf \ -nographic -append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0"
The x86-64 target has support for ESXI images by default. Booting the VMDK / VDI images might not work with newer qemu versions.
IMG/VDI/VMDK with "-hda" switch do not work with qemu 2.x .
pc-q35-2.0 / q35 emulates a different machine. With new syntax (no -hda , -net) the IMG / VDI / VMDK works here.
Some emulated network cards might have performance issues.
qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ -M pc-q35-2.0 \ -drive file=openwrt-x86_64-combined-ext4.vdi,id=d0,if=none \ -device ide-hd,drive=d0,bus=ide.0 \ -drive file=data.qcow2,id=d1,if=none \ -device ide-hd,drive=d1,bus=ide.1 \ -soundhw ac97 \ -netdev bridge,br=virbr0,id=hn0 \ -device e1000,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 \ -netdev user,id=hn1 \ -device e1000,netdev=hn1,id=nic2 qemu-system-x86_64 -M q35 -drive file=openwrt-x86_64-combined-ext4.img,id=d0,if=none,bus=0,unit=0 -device ide-hd,drive=d0,bus=ide.0
Normally openwrt works on most of the hardware mentioned in the table of hardware
(search in this wiki), and also on most o0f the hardware that support intel x86 ISA or
gog.is/site:wiki.openwrt.org x86 in the address bar.
Anyway some embedded x86 board have particular hardware that is not always well supported
by the openwrt platform, even if all the
kmod packages are included in the basic image.
One of this x86 compatible hardware family are systems based on intel atom and chipset
ich8m (maybe also others), like the Lex twitter system 3I525U.
On that system openwrt is able to run but, for example, is not able to
manage really well the possibility of having two wan connections with
different metric. The request will be always routed to the interface with
higher metric also using
ping -I <wan2_interface> 188.8.131.52. Moreover software
Nmap will fail to be bind to certain interfaces.
Someone with more knowledge could explain why this happens but as workaround
one can use a more complete linux system (for example debian) as base and then virtualize
gog.is/site:wiki.openwrt.org virtualization OR qemu OR kvm OR hypervisor in the address bar)
openwrt, that in the end requires really a little resources most of the time,
or one can assign plenty of resources because at the end the base system is quite powerful.
Debian was installed on a 2Gb cf card through a usb stick and netinstaller, having only the basic system utilities and ssh utilities. 1.1Gb of space were used, 600mb free and the rest swap.
Install the following packages:
apt-get install qemu-kvm bridge-utils libvirt-bin virtinst
Then, if you don't want to use any user but just work with root (the objective is: let run openwrt on the twitter system, not having a well setup debian system):
Then we have to prepare the network. Modify
/etc/network/interfaces a follows (adapt according to your needs)
auto br0 br1 br2 br3 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 iface br1 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth1 iface br2 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth2 iface br3 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth3
The bridges ( https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections ) are helpful because they allows different network adapters, real or virtual ( network.interfaces to exchange data (as the word 'bridge' suggests) and not only, because the bridge will have a certain mac address but also the virtual interfaces attached to it can have different mac addresses. Here the marvels of the linux networking system have to be explained by someone with more knowledge.
Then we need to create our virtual machine. The additional packages, apart from
qemu, will help here. We can issue the following command, using the x86 generic image
placed in the folder
virt-install --name=openwrt --ram=256 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --disk path=/root/openwrt_kvm/openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img,bus=ide --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --import # be careful to the model, e1000 let's openwrt recognize the interface. # http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/virt-install.1.html
If you want to interact with the system from command line, use
For example to force the shutdown of a virtual machine
virsh destroy openwrt
or to delete the virtual machine (but not the disk file)
virsh undefine openwrt.
For having multiple interfaces
virt-install --name=openwrt --ram=256 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --disk path=/root/openwrt_kvm/openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img,bus=ide \ --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --network bridge=br3,model=e1000 --importRemember that the console requires
ctrl+5to exit (german keyboard).
To mark a virtual machine for the autostart, type:
virsh autostart openwrt.


Sync Problems = Router Problems?
i have real difficults to get my zipabox working right.
somehow the webinterface and the cloud and the sensors do not communicate right.
a) not all data is transmitted when I sync (f.e. keys tags: I had to do it 10 times to get 4 key tags included)
b) data gets lost when i sync again after including a new sensor
maybe the problem is with the router (?) / firewall?
(details: I live in the NL, internet by ziggo, router: Technicolor TC7210)
Can you help me?


Vasya wants to buy a new refrigerator. He believes that a refrigerator should be a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edge lengths. Vasya calculated that for daily use he will need a refrigerator with volume of at least V. Moreover, Vasya is a minimalist by nature, so the volume should be no more than V, either — why take up extra space in the apartment? Having made up his mind about the volume of the refrigerator, Vasya faced a new challenge — for a fixed volume of V the refrigerator must have the minimum surface area so that it is easier to clean.

The volume and the surface area of a refrigerator with edges a, b, c are equal to V = abc and S = 2(ab + bc + ca), correspondingly.

Given the volume V, help Vasya find the integer lengths for the refrigerator's edges a, b, c so that the refrigerator's volume equals V and its surface area S is minimized.


Facetook is a well known social network website, and it will launch a new feature called Facetook Priority Wall. This feature will sort all posts from your friends according to the priority factor (it will be described).

This priority factor will be affected by three types of actions:

- 1. "X posted on Y's wall" (15 points),
- 2. "X commented on Y's post" (10 points),
- 3. "X likes Y's post" (5 points).

X and Y will be two distinct names. And each action will increase the priority factor between X and Y (and vice versa) by the above value of points (the priority factor between X and Y is the same as the priority factor between Y and X).

You will be given n actions with the above format (without the action number and the number of points), and you have to print all the distinct names in these actions sorted according to the priority factor with you.

Hello and welcome to our Knowledge Base. Our experts provide answers to the most frequently asked questions of our customers. Start your information search here to find your answer quickly and easily.
Please enter your query or select one of the above categories.
All entries (Page 11 / 15)
First open the TreeSizeFile Search and configure your search. In your case you should use the "OldestFiles" Search or the "Custom Search" search for files by their last change datein absolute date (Oldest Files), or interval in days (Custom Search).Note: Do not select anydirectories to scan in the "Scan Options"!Than save the searchoptions via "File > Save Search Options" (e.g.:"C:\TreeSizeSearch\older_1_year_search_option.xml")Now use the TreeSize TaskScheduler ("Tools > Schedule TreeSize Task"), enter the paths tosearch in at "Path to scan" (e.g.: "C:\" "D:\")and select "Start TreeSize File Search", "Use saved searchoptions:
If these folder are on the same level, then this is possible, because TreeSize supports wildcards on the root level. Simply scan:
C:\Folder\OF???ARC or \server\share\OF???ARC
If this is not the case, you can compile a list that contains only the folders in question by scanning the whole volume, export the results to Excel and filter the lines in question there using Excel 's AutoFilter.
1) The "Drives and Paths to Include" are the drives and directories that will be searched. To search for individual files please activate the "Custom Search" type and add the file names on the "Names" tab of the custom file search.
2) To search directories not present in the "Drives and Paths to Include" section please add them using the buttons below the list.
3) Currently you can only copy the contents of the drives panel of the TreeSize main application. But we will add this feature to the TreeSize file search in V5.2 as well.
The behaviormay be caused through the fact that the name of the EXE changed fromTSizePro.exe in V4 to TreeSize.exe in V5.There isstill a Tsizepro.exe for compatibility reasons, but this simply callsTreeSize.exe with the given parameters and the exits.
Yes, you can sort TreeSize lists by any shown column by clicking on the header of the column. In case of the "Last Access " column, the list is sorted from the oldest to the newest date value. Click the header again to sort the list from the newest to the oldest. This behavior is equivalent to windows explorer.
If you run the installation file and provide the parameters
/PASSWORD=<YourInstallPasswordHere> on the command line, the software will perform an installation without any questions and just adhering to default values. Using
/VERYSILENT instead of
/SILENT prevents also a visual feedback. The option
/DIR="X:\InstallPath" can be used to specify an alternative target directory for installation.
Please use the command line parameter
/SIZEUNIT N to set the desired size unit in your exports. The parameter N is an integer value, denoting these settings:
0 = Bytes; 1 = KB; 2 = MB; 3 =GB.
If you don't use this option, size information will be made the same way, like it was done in the last export/report.
The shown sizes refer to the used hard disk space as shown in the Directory Tree. These sizes indeed could be different, depending on compression and/or cluster size on the harddrive (see also the topic on Wasted Space in the product manual).
Enabling the TreeSize column for every folder can be done in the folder options menu of the Windows Explorer.
The Personal Edition has the same features as the Professional Edition, except that it cannot be used with Windows server operating systems, does not support scans of network shares which are part of a Windows domain, provides no command line options and no scheduled scans.
The Personal edition scans network drives if the computer it runs on is not part of a Windows domain and the remote system is not a Windows server. This enables customers of the Personal Edition to scan network drives in their home network, including NAS systems based on Linux and Samba.
Please find a comparison chart here.
The XML files were meant to store the complete results of a scan for recalling them later and to compare them with the latest scan results. So there was (and is) no need for limiting the result display to a certain scan level.
If you are interested only in the uppermost level of the file system, CSV or Excel exports are quite comfortable, too.
If you simply want to reduce the total size of the XML file, you could deactivate the statistics on users and file types.


I had to divide this in two parts because of some critical decision making and idea debates.
Yes, on the second day, Samantha and I exchanged ideas and pros and cons of each kind of approach that we could take to accomplish our project :
- If we use the Microsoft Kinect, we could capture the skeleton of the user via the Infrared Projector and Infrared Sensor on the Kinect, so the vision processing part would be mostly solved. All left would be (though challenging) - the identification of the gesture and mapping gestures to music files. Further, the Kinect has a lot of libraries for both Mac OS X and Windows, and those can be easily used with the Android tablet and Mac and Windows computers.
- If we use a simple camera with OpenCV for image/video processing, we would have to literally do a PhD thesis within 5 day span to figure out the locations of body joints of the user from a single 2D image. Naturally, for a first-attempt vision project this is difficult. But the advantage would be that the application could be designed for all kinds of devices including the iPhone.
To be realistic and to enjoy some risk taking, we decided to start working with the Kinect first and see how that goes. We aim that if the Kinect is not helping us in making the application, we will switch to OpenCV.
So, a step-wise plan (mostly tailored for working with the Kinect) is as follows:
- Get the skeleton image and information of 1 single person.
- Since the demonstration is in a public and heavily occupied space, focus on the user of our application in the crowded area.
- Decide a maximum of 3 gestures for demonstration purposes for the application, to be installed by the following procedure:
- Have SOME user Motion —-> Play Music (Any file)
- Have 1 SPECIFIC gesture (sequence of postures rather than a ‘still’ posture) —-> Play Music (Any file)
- Have 1 SPECIFIC gesture (sequence of postures rather than a ‘still’ posture) —-> Play 1 SPECIFIC music file/Playlist
- Install other 2 SPECIFIC gestures —-> Play other types of music files/playlists
- Note: All these music files will be played on the laptop rather than a mobile device
Now enough talking ! Lets jump to some real action!
So I spent most of Sunday night trying to get the Kinect working with Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Here are some things that happened in this process:
- I learnt that the OpenNI (Open Natural Interaction) library is used for interacting with devices like the Kinect (devices with Infrared cameras) as there is no external input from a mouse or keyboard (only body movements by the user).
- There are a TON of websites for helping with installation for Kinect software. When I say Kinect software I mean libraries that we can use for development and tapping resources on the Kinect for Xbox 360 (that is what we are given by the Build18 competition Staff). Kinect for Windows is a good option too – it has really cool libraries for many applications. But not for Mac OS X.. I particularly liked this one : http://developkinect.com/resource/mac-os-x/install-openni-nite-and-sensorkinect-mac-os-x, however, I got really frustrated after re-doing the procedure for about 6 times, so I used old versions of the OpenNI and NITE libraries with SensorKinect to get things working and code in C++.
- The sad thing was that I couldn’t find any source code guides/documentation to help me with skeleton tracking using these libraries (I promise I searched a lot). During my search I saw Processing being a really poplular choice, so I decided to give it a shot. This website is AWESOME : http://learning.codasign.com/index.php?title=Using_the_Kinect_with_Processing . I will eventually be uploading some videos of modified, compiled code (credits to the website http://learning.codasign.com/index.php?title=Using_the_Kinect_with_Processing for cool tutorials). I am still unhappy with the inaccuracy of the skeleton mapping, but its a wonderful feeling to actually code something and make things work!!!
So we really want to do the complicated gesture tracking rather than a ‘still’ gesture like having your hands up in the air for ages. For a simple (yet complicated as it involves the motion of hands, look at the following demo - http://youtu.be/DkgDjqiWArc). We AIM to have some sort of a program/tool to recognize that the user is moving their right hand diagonally (left in the reflected picture). So that is the fun part
PS – I really like Processing as a beginner for Computer Vision and Kinect projects. There is OpenCV for Processing as well but I am trying to decide the algorithm for gesture recognition from the skeletal information at this point.

An array $$$b$$$ is called to be a subarray of $$$a$$$ if it forms a continuous subsequence of $$$a$$$, that is, if it is equal to $$$a_l$$$, $$$a_{l + 1}$$$, $$$\ldots$$$, $$$a_r$$$ for some $$$l, r$$$.

Suppose $$$m$$$ is some known constant. For any array, having $$$m$$$ or more elements, let's define it's beauty as the sum of $$$m$$$ largest elements of that array. For example:

- For array $$$x = [4, 3, 1, 5, 2]$$$ and $$$m = 3$$$, the $$$3$$$ largest elements of $$$x$$$ are $$$5$$$, $$$4$$$ and $$$3$$$, so the beauty of $$$x$$$ is $$$5 + 4 + 3 = 12$$$.
- For array $$$x = [10, 10, 10]$$$ and $$$m = 2$$$, the beauty of $$$x$$$ is $$$10 + 10 = 20$$$.

You are given an array $$$a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$$$, the value of the said constant $$$m$$$ and an integer $$$k$$$. Your need to split the array $$$a$$$ into exactly $$$k$$$ subarrays such that:

- Each element from $$$a$$$ belongs to exactly one subarray.
- Each subarray has at least $$$m$$$ elements.
- The sum of all beauties of $$$k$$$ subarrays is maximum possible.


This is the easy version of the problem. The difference between the versions is that in this version, you need to find any one good array. You can hack only if you solved all versions of this problem.

Kevin is visiting the Red Church, and he found a puzzle on the wall.

For an array $$$ a $$$, let $$$ c(l,r) $$$ indicate how many distinct numbers are among $$$ a_l, a_{l+1}, \ldots, a_r $$$. In particular, if $$$ l > r $$$, define $$$ c(l,r) = 0 $$$.

You are given a string $$$ s $$$ of length $$$ n $$$ consisting of letters $$$ \texttt{L} $$$ and $$$ \texttt{R} $$$ only. Let a non-negative array $$$ a $$$ be called good, if the following conditions hold for $$$ 1 \leq i \leq n $$$:

- if $$$s_i=\verb!L!$$$, then $$$c(1,i-1)=a_i$$$;
- if $$$s_i=\verb!R!$$$, then $$$c(i+1,n)=a_i$$$.

If there is a good array $$$a$$$, print any of the good arrays. Otherwise, report that no such arrays exists.


A regular bracket sequence is a bracket sequence that can be transformed into a correct arithmetic expression by inserting characters "1" and "+" between the original characters of the sequence. For example:

- bracket sequences "()()" and "(())" are regular (the resulting expressions are: "(1)+(1)" and "((1+1)+1)");
- bracket sequences ")(", "(" and ")" are not.

You are given two strings $$$s$$$ and $$$a$$$, the string $$$s$$$ has length $$$n$$$, the string $$$a$$$ has length $$$n - 3$$$. The string $$$s$$$ is a bracket sequence (i. e. each element of this string is either an opening bracket character or a closing bracket character). The string $$$a$$$ is a binary string (i. e. each element of this string is either 1 or 0).

The string $$$a$$$ imposes some constraints on the string $$$s$$$: for every $$$i$$$ such that $$$a_i$$$ is 1, the string $$$s_i s_{i+1} s_{i+2} s_{i+3}$$$ should be a regular bracket sequence. Characters of $$$a$$$ equal to 0 don't impose any constraints.

Initially, the string $$$s$$$ may or may not meet these constraints. You can perform the following operation any number of times: replace some character of $$$s$$$ with its inverse (i. e. you can replace an opening bracket with a closing bracket, or vice versa).

Determine if it is possible to change some characters in $$$s$$$ so that it meets all of the constraints, and if it is possible, calculate the minimum number of characters to be changed.

After a long, tough, but fruitful day at DTL, Ela goes home happily. She entertains herself by solving Competitive Programming problems. She prefers short statements, because she already read too many long papers and documentation at work. The problem of the day reads:

You are given an integer $$$c$$$. Suppose that $$$c$$$ has $$$n$$$ divisors. You have to find a sequence with $$$n - 1$$$ integers $$$[a_1, a_2, ... a_{n - 1}]$$$, which satisfies the following conditions:

- Each element is strictly greater than $$$1$$$.
- Each element is a divisor of $$$c$$$.
- All elements are distinct.
- For all $$$1 \le i < n - 1$$$, $$$\gcd(a_i, a_{i + 1})$$$ is a prime number.

In this problem, because $$$c$$$ can be too big, the result of prime factorization of $$$c$$$ is given instead. Note that $$$\gcd(x, y)$$$ denotes the greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ and a prime number is a positive integer which has exactly $$$2$$$ divisors.


Welcome to The [Expletive] Project!
This is the subreddit for a super secret project that is doing the impossible: ending digital piracy, in a way that doesn't suck for anyone. It's a digital publishing and content delivery service that serves up every type of digital content.
This project is based on technologies that you probably use every day and business plans that enabled the creation of all kinds of things you'd recognize, with the philosophy that things can really be fair if you're smart about it and that small things matter, and is a deliberate act of sedition towards unjust and tyrannical attempts to force a failed system, and made in belligerent opposition towards attempts to abandon real solutions to complex problems. People don't need to be told what the right thing to do is, or that they need to do it, because we're really good at that; we just need better tools for doing those things.
This is a real project, it is well on it's way to accomplishing its' first goals, and is nearing the point where I can share it with the awesome people reading this. This subreddit is a place for me to answer the questions I can about what's involved, tell you guys what's going on, and to serve as a place where people can put up relevant links and share info that is related in any way.
I'm working on this alone, full time, without funding. If you can spare a buck or two, it would really help me a lot. I'll add a paypal donation link here soon: for now, you can donate bitcoins to me here:


A sequence of non-negative integers $$$a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$$$ is called growing if for all $$$i$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$n - 1$$$ all ones (of binary representation) in $$$a_i$$$ are in the places of ones (of binary representation) in $$$a_{i + 1}$$$ (in other words, $$$a_i \:\&\: a_{i + 1} = a_i$$$, where $$$\&$$$ denotes bitwise AND). If $$$n = 1$$$ then the sequence is considered growing as well.

For example, the following four sequences are growing:

- $$$[2, 3, 15, 175]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[10_2, 11_2, 1111_2, 10101111_2]$$$;
- $$$[5]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[101_2]$$$;
- $$$[1, 3, 7, 15]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[1_2, 11_2, 111_2, 1111_2]$$$;
- $$$[0, 0, 0]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[0_2, 0_2, 0_2]$$$.

The following three sequences are non-growing:

- $$$[3, 4, 5]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[11_2, 100_2, 101_2]$$$;
- $$$[5, 4, 3]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[101_2, 100_2, 011_2]$$$;
- $$$[1, 2, 4, 8]$$$ — in binary it's $$$[0001_2, 0010_2, 0100_2, 1000_2]$$$.

Consider two sequences of non-negative integers $$$x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$$$ and $$$y_1, y_2, \dots, y_n$$$. Let's call this pair of sequences co-growing if the sequence $$$x_1 \oplus y_1, x_2 \oplus y_2, \dots, x_n \oplus y_n$$$ is growing where $$$\oplus$$$ denotes bitwise XOR.

You are given a sequence of integers $$$x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$$$. Find the lexicographically minimal sequence $$$y_1, y_2, \dots, y_n$$$ such that sequences $$$x_i$$$ and $$$y_i$$$ are co-growing.

The sequence $$$a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$$$ is lexicographically smaller than the sequence $$$b_1, b_2, \dots, b_n$$$ if there exists $$$1 \le k \le n$$$ such that $$$a_i = b_i$$$ for any $$$1 \le i < k$$$ but $$$a_k < b_k$$$.


Not so long ago, Vlad had a birthday, for which he was presented with a package of candies. There were $$$n$$$ types of candies, there are $$$a_i$$$ candies of the type $$$i$$$ ($$$1 \le i \le n$$$).

Vlad decided to eat exactly one candy every time, choosing any of the candies of a type that is currently the most frequent (if there are several such types, he can choose any of them). To get the maximum pleasure from eating, Vlad does not want to eat two candies of the same type in a row.

Help him figure out if he can eat all the candies without eating two identical candies in a row.


in context of Artificial Neural Networks:
For a 'neuron' to learn something, there must be:
Then we can analyse how this change affected 'neuron', and how closer or further away it is from it's goal, a desired behaviour.
With enough of time, with analysis, with a certain degree of control of changes, changes might become more rapid, bigger, smarter, better.

Vanilla Theme Apply Problem PLease Help
This discussion is related to the Bootstrap addon.
Yeterday I Download and setup Vanilla 2.5 on my Ipage server. then i try to add a new theme. I download and Upload Bootstrap 2.5.1 to theme folder and try to apply it. when i click apply it get this error.
"The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error:"
"Plugin not found."
here is the theame Link
The bootstrap folder should be "/themes/Bootstrap", with a capital B.
If it isn't, rename it and delete cached theme files from /cache/
I get this when I try and use any other theme
Yes it happen to me
I had this same problem. I was able to solve it by downloading the theme from the Github page instead: https://github.com/kasperisager/vanilla-bootstrap/archive/v2.5.1.zip
So is the problem only with bootstrap or with any theme? This post is about not being able to enable any theme not just bootstrap. A moderator should make that clear. If you can’t get a theme to work it does not matter where you got it from.
❌ ✊ ♥. ¸. ••. ¸♥¸. ••. ¸♥ ✊ ❌
Does anyone have the solution to this? @justin_ that didn't work for me.
Both the version of the theme listed on this forum and the version from Github work in my local setup.
What version of Vanilla and what version of PHP are you running?
@stackmouse is correct in that the theme must be placed as
<YOUR_VANILLA_INSTALL_LOCATION>/themes/Bootstrapwith a capital B. The file unzipped directly from the download has a lowercase
bat the beginning. This may not be an issue on some systems (with case-insensitive filesystems) but is an issue on many systems. It is also gives warning from Vanilla's AddonManager.
Sorry, @lorddfg but 'Doesn't work' is no use either as feedback or as a request for help.
What have you tried, and what doesn't work?
Sorry, I should have clarified it.
I downloaded the file and uploaded it. Changed the name from Vanilla-Bootstrap to Bootstrap.
When I enable it, it gives me the plugin not found error.
I tried changing the name and the error stayed the same.
So no dice. I am using the latest Vanila version. I should have been more concise my apologies.
I just downloaded the github version, changed the folder, and it works in my local test install (XAMPP), so it must be something to do with your set up.
What version of php are you running?
PHP 7.0, with mariaDB. It's a dedicated server, I just did a clean install, I am already dealing with another issue which I can't make sense off, so it could be related to it.
I think it might be related to it.
I see on another thread you said you didn't want to turn off strict mode, but I would suggest you do so, if just to test if that is what is causing the issue(s).
You may try deleting the related files in the cache folder first: /cache/theme/*
@lorddfg Did disabling rocket loader on Cloudflare solve this issue as well? The way cloudflare completely rewrites the scripts breaks our older JS which requires being loaded in a particular order.
I'm running PHP 7, on apache and linux. Other themes work for me but this one doesn't wanna do it. I keep getting the same error as everyone else "The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error:
Plugin not found."
Your error isn't what 'everyone else' is getting.
As I said earlier, I downloaded the Github version, changed the folder name as advised, and it worked, so the error isn't simply with the theme.
Did you delete the cache files?
Can you try it via an incognito page to rule out cache issues?
The error says it all. No plugin found. I got it working by uploading the files to both Themes and Plugins folder. Make sure you rename the folder to Bootstrap. I run PHP 7.2, Vanilla 2.5.2 without any issues with this theme.
Great you've solved it, but you wouldn't need it in the
/plugins´ folder, only in the/themes` folder
Wierd because it only worked when i uploaded all files into the plugins folder. I tested it by removing it as well.


Building a Content Communication Prediction Environment
Brand Love intelligence (BLi) builds Marketing Intelligence tools that help others create more meaningful digital experiences.
50 technology changemakers developed a reinforcement model and dashboard to address the following problem.
Audiences today have to deal with an information overload as they are being flooded by daily content communication online, coming from all sides and corners. That is naturally reducing their attention span. In that way, content is no longer being absorbed and organizations and brands lose their impact. To reverse the tendency of content avoidance, partners of BLi such as organizations (with their various types of brands) and reputable persons such as athletes & artists, are in need of highly relevant content to obtain the audience’s attention and remain at the same time attractive to them in the long run.
Two combined things are especially important to address the problem: 1. Moment of being receptive to specific content (receptivity) and 2. Content-match (likeability in the broadest sense). In order to get applicable data (information), we suggest the following technical solution:
An interactive hyper-local dashboard (world map) that visualizes the output of the reinforced ML model by providing users (near) real-time insights and notifications of audience receptivity. The dashboard will give users the empowerment to make optional model customizations to adjust the solution to their needs. While the transparency by design will let users understand why the output is as presented. This serves as a launch platform for further research.
The reinforcement model will receive input from various sources of data or libraries which are necessary to track (near) real-time hyperlocal indicators that influence behavior. The indicators are as follows: hyper-local influencers (weather, news, vacation, live events, google trends, Share of Search, etc.), journey analysis, mood analysis (anger, joy, confidence, etc.), and behavior analysis (context analysis with NLP and image classification, etc.). For the latter two, the Tweet data of Twitter timelines will be used.
The summed above are examples that can be defined later during the project.
A particular focus of this challenge is The Share of Search (SoS) construct (in other words, ‘Share of Search’ can be defined as the portion of overall online interest in a particular keyword that you are capturing) in relation to the operational and practical quality of SoS within the model functionality. The idea behind it is to strengthen the prediction ability to know which personality types intend to engage (show other behavior) with / act on brands, branches, product categories, products/services at what time (momentum). SoS is believed to have serious predictive value when connected to more of the available data points.
An example would be to think of NGO’s and using SoS for nudging the donation behavior of the audience.
Also, a connection needs to be made to the BLi infrastructure to get the survey audience’s personality and their answers. We expect to increase our data set every few months in the beginning. Later, the interval will decrease to weeks or even days. Therefore the model needs to have an auto-retrain possibility.
In summary, the representative outcomes of the project are as follows:
A reinforcement ML model that predicts the Audience Cluster Receptivity Score (%) and the Audience Cluster Brand Receptivity Score (%);
A reinforcement ML model that maps the receptivity stage of worldwide audience clusters. The model will be decided by the community together with the company. The recommended model now is LSTM;
A real-time interactive dashboard (world map) using the D3 library that visualizes the size and receptivity stage of audience clusters;
The (sub-)models developed will be stand-alone and can be used independently or combined with not yet defined future models or code;
Integrated REST-APIs to get data from and push output to the BLi tool;
In-depth and detailed documentation will be delivered explaining, among other things, why particular choices are made, how code, features, and models are working and what input is needed for optimal performance


Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.
TOS is an operating system kernel that is written in a strictly and statically typed assembly language. Traditional operating system kernels are written in weakly-typed languages (e.g. C, C++). Therefore, it is extremely hard to ensure safety of the kernels. On the other hand, memory safety and control-flow safety of TOS can be ensured automatically through the type check of the language.


I routinely work on a session with my friend who is on windows and I’m on Linux. I use ACE Fluidsynth with a SoundFont drumkit. Ardour seems to link the SoundFont into the session and this link breaks when moving the session to another computer since the path to the SoundFont is not the same.
I have tried to overcome this by manually copying the SoundFont on top of the links in the session that Ardour creates for itself but this does not seem to work either, the drums don’t work on my friends computer.
Is there a way to make SoundFont drums work reliably when moving a session to another os ? The best option would be if Ardour asked if I want to copy the SoundFont into the session the same way as it does when importing audio files, but this isn’t possible as far as I know. The SoundFont file is only 69 MB.
I don’t want to record midi to audio because that would be a waste of resources and in principle midi drums work just fine on both platforms.
How are other people handling this ?


The prison of your city has n prisoners. As the prison can't accommodate all of them, the city mayor has decided to transfer c of the prisoners to a prison located in another city.

For this reason, he made the n prisoners to stand in a line, with a number written on their chests. The number is the severity of the crime he/she has committed. The greater the number, the more severe his/her crime was.

Then, the mayor told you to choose the c prisoners, who will be transferred to the other prison. He also imposed two conditions. They are,

- The chosen c prisoners has to form a contiguous segment of prisoners.
- Any of the chosen prisoner's crime level should not be greater then t. Because, that will make the prisoner a severe criminal and the mayor doesn't want to take the risk of his running away during the transfer.

Find the number of ways you can choose the c prisoners.

Short description of error
Using a particle instance modifier with Children checked and Normal not checked and then attempting to change certain parameters of the particle system such as in the velocity or children tabs causes a crash. Enabling Normal in the particle instance modifier prevents this from happening.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create a Plane with a hair type particle system.
Create a cube with a particle instance modifier and set the object to the Plane with the particle system.
Check the box for Children and uncheck the box for Normal.
Go to the particle system on the Plane and check Advanced.
Drag any of the values in Velocity or Children and soon it will crash.

"...this edition is useful and effective in teaching Bayesian inference at both elementary and intermediate levels. It is a well-written book on elementary Bayesian inference, and the material is easily accessible. It is both concise and timely, and provides a good collection of overviews and reviews of important tools used in Bayesian statistical methods." There is a strong upsurge in the use of Bayesian methods in applied statistical analysis, yet most introductory statistics texts only present frequentist methods. Bayesian statistics has many important advantages that students should learn about if they are going into fields where statistics will be used. In this third Edition, four newly-added chapters address topics that reflect the rapid advances in the field of Bayesian statistics. The authors continue to provide a Bayesian treatment of introductory statistical topics, such as scientific data gathering, discrete random variables, robust Bayesian methods, and Bayesian approaches to inference for discrete random variables, binomial proportions, Poisson, and normal means, and simple linear regression.


You're tired. Exhausted. Your mind simply isn't responding. You stare at the code; it stares back
at you. You type something. It doesn't work. You delete it.
The clock says:
You know what you need: a break.
Working when we’re tired is really dangerous (to us and our applications). We write buggy code, make silly mistakes, they frustrate us, and, finally, we burn out. Everyone has been there. So, what to do rather than keep hammering your head on the keyboard?
In fact, you got a lot of options:
- Lie down (or get up if you’ve been sitting for a long time);
- Change the room you’re working on;
- Take a (short) nap;
- Go on a walk (to your backyard 😢) and look at the sky;
- Play a song on your guitar;
- Play with your pet;
- Tell your loved ones you love them;
- At least go drink some water! You get hydrated and it may boost your productivity!
The important part is to get some distance from the problem you’re facing. Context switch is really important. You may think that breaks will kill your flow, and it’s easy to convince yourself that you don’t have time for them, but hear me out: they work! Well, you don’t have to trust me, science has shown this over and over again.
I realize not everyone has the freedom/opportunity to do those things. Or you may not be comfortable doing them during work time, and I get it. So, I’ll list some alternative tasks you can do instead. I call them productive laziness because even though they’re not your primary task, they’re still useful (for you and your app)!
You don’t need to be a maintainer to do this! OSS folks have lots of work to do, so go ahead and give them some help (and maybe you do end up as a maintainer). You don’t need to be an expert in the project. Just knowing the programming language behind it can help you! You can suggest better variable/method names or methods with better performance, for instance. But please, be kind.
If you’re feeling brave, you can help OSS ever further! Fix some bug reported into their issue
tracker. Maybe a refactor or performance improvement? Search for issues with tags like
first-time-contributor. That’s how I got my first
contribution merged into Rails!
This is quite obvious, but learning that one method can save your life later! You may found a new helper method that makes your code simpler or faster.
This is basically the same as the previous one, but it doesn’t have to be technical. You can learn some productivity technique, read something inspiring or just laugh out loud. I’m pretty sure you have some marked as “read later” somewhere.
I’m pretty sure you have something to tell. Don’t worry, you don’t have to finish it right away. Just put some basic ideas in the paper. You’ll perfect it later.
Consider this an investment: a couple of minutes today saves you a life of keystrokes! You can learn some terminal tricks too! It is the same idea.
It’ll only take you 5 minutes. Get rid of it accumulating dust in your mailbox and in your brain.
This is by far my favorite alternative task. Here you can do what you like the most:
- Fix N+1 queries;
- Add tests to improve your test coverage;
- Improve the loading time for some page in your web app (using lighthouse and other dev tools);
- Fix that one exception that your monitoring tool reported. This might be a good opportunity to start TDDing. Here’s how.
- Solve some simple CSS problem: alignments or spacing issues, for example;
- Refactor some nasty code you find. You can do simple things like renaming variables/methods or extracting functions/classes.
“A refactor a day keeps the rewrite away!” - Developer Granny
You may not fix that nasty bug by the end of the day, but a least your app will be faster/cleaner/have more tests! I think that’s a nice trade-off.
These short tasks give us small wins, and they motivates us to keep working on annoying chores.
Here’s something to keep an eye on: be sure to make the laziness time-boxed! You don’t want to spend the whole day in a alternative task 😜.
Finally, no matter how your day goes, be kind to yourself. Some days are amazing, some days are terrible, but most days are just doing the work of life. Do your best to enjoy them!

Hi. I've been looking around, and eventually I will probably find these,
but there's got to be a better way.
I can't seem to find the following utilities:
I need expr to build a new kernel. I am trying to get my Logitech Bus
mouse to work. This is the only one that is essential.
I realize that nroff and catman are possibly not available, but then
how to we linuxers create cat? entries for our man pages? I could
go to our Sun, but that's not really an answer.

While most Lebanese were busy decorating Christmas trees and shopping for gifts last weekend, a crowd of young Lebanese IT enthusiasts were enjoying an emotional beneficence of a different kind with Microsoft. On December 10th and 11th at Berytech Mansourieh, Microsoft Lebanon held its first Windows Phone Dev Camp, a two-day workshop that illuminated the way for technology fanatics whose hearts beat wildly for technology's latest buzzword, Apps, and Microsoft's long-awaited offspring, Windows Phone.
The event comes as an initiative by Microsoft Lebanon to enable and empower the growing generation of Lebanese IT enthusiasts, not only to be part of the worldwide IT revolution but also to actively participate in driving it. Charbel Fakhoury, VP Sales, Marketing & Services, Middle East and Africa Region, Microsoft opened the event with a keynote telling the audience:
"The shift towards knowledge economy can only occur based on education, innovation and entrepreneurship, which is where Microsoft is pulling all its weight today". "With events such as TechDays Beirut and Dev Camps Beirut, we provide the knowledge and skills training that local and talented developers need to unleash their potential, start off a business and hopefully grow and create more job opportunities", added Fakhoury.
From 9 am till 8 pm over the course of two days, over 250 IT students and professional developers gathered in groups around Microsoft's local and regional Windows Phone experts to learn how to create applications for Microsoft's mobile Operating System, Windows Phone. On day one, participants received deep-dive learning sessions about Windows Phone, Silverlight and XNA, Windows Azure toolkit for Windows Phone, Windows Phone Development, Game Development Principals and Coding.
"Windows Phone is built around people and what they love to do; we have organized this event to equip Lebanese developers with the know-how and tools they need to do what they love and take it out to the whole world", said Ghassan Chahine, Developer and Platform Strategy Lead at Microsoft Lebanon.
On day two, the well-grounded developers set free their creativity and put their bright minds, honed skills and advanced tools at work, as they coded and conceived their dream Windows Phone apps. By the end of the workshop, over 37 applications were developed and submitted to the Windows Phone Marketplace via Yallaapps, for users worldwide to enjoy and benefit from them. The workshop saw the participation of truly inspired developers and resulted in the creation of a number of exceptionally smart apps, spanning a vast array of subjects from fashion and tourism through to lifestyle, business and games.
To end in true holiday spirit, Microsoft rewarded the most innovative team of developers with a brand new Windows Phone device. Worms7, the winning team of USJ students who developed the App ‘Dress Box', commented: "It was a very exciting opportunity to take part in this Microsoft unique event as it offered us what we needed most – the hands-on experience in coding and developing apps and the guidance from regional experts"
Participants were encouraged to continue developing their dream apps following the event and submit them to the marketplace through Yallaapps, with a chance to win another Windows Phone device just in time for the New Year.
The briefings also included presentations by business development specialists from Berytech and the Managing Director of ArabNet, the hub for Arab digital professionals and entrepreneurs, who showed the young developers the short and sure way to grow their potential and establish a business in this field using all available opportunities.


Below is the Glide Factor design document. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Actually, it's just the instructions screen that you can access from the main menu. We wanted to be able to convey the full use of the game without using a single word, just a few nice looking icons.
The top part of the instructions screen explains the controls. The fact that the only movement instructions are the direction towards which you have to tilt the device has some implications. It does not specify how the device is held or its angle towards the ground, which means that from a usage standpoint, the player would be correct to assume that they can play Glide Factor in whatever position they are comfortable in; whether that is sitting in the Metro or lying on the couch. For us to be able to accommodate this correct assumption meant that we had to do some extra work behind the scenes.
No manual calibration
Many tilt based apps get around this "player position" problem by adding a calibration screen. This places an extra usage burden to the player by requesting them to perform an additional action, possibly multiple times. Nonetheless we tried it, and early play tests, my girlfriend and my friends, hated it! So we decided to automate the calibration process in the background, and at the start of each level. The lack of a visible calibration process makes things faster, easier and invisible. As far as the player is concerned it just works.
The shake bomb
While gliding through a level, oftentimes power ups will pop up to help you out. One of them is the shake bomb. Upon collection of the shake bomb, a player has five seconds to shake the device in order to make all on screen obstacles disappear. I can imagine the shake bomb being quite useful in the situation below:
In this case, the code must be able to differentiate between regular gliding movement, and shaking; all from the same signal input. It could be tricky but it was actually one of the easier problems to solve during development.
The technical stuff
If you are a developer, I hope you will find this useful.
Glide movement using the accelerometer
The work below is located in the accelerometer callback function. Set the frequency of the callback to whatever is most suitable to your application. Glide Factor runs this at 20Hz.
On entry gather the raw x, y and z acceleration values. Because Glide Factor is a left oriented landscape application, we assigned the value of x to y and vice versa, as the accelerometer does not adjust, and rightly so, to changes in the screens orientation.
Check if the direction towards which we are accelerating to has changed. For axes x and y get their direction, which is the sign of the raw accelerometer value, and the acceleration direction which is the opposite sign of the velocity of the axis. For each axis x and y if the signs of the direction and the acceleration direction match, then the acceleration value for each axis will be the sum of its previous value, plus a constant, multiplied by the sign of its previous value. Adjust the value of this constant in order to increase viscosity.
Apply the change in acceleration to the current velocity of each axis. The velocity for each axis will be the product of the acceleration, the raw axis value and a constant. Adjust the value of this constant in order to increase/decrease velocity. Once we have the velocity, for our implementation, we add it to a pair of screen coordinates we maintain for the glider, and draw the glider.
If you apply the above methodology to your own code, you will get fluid accelerometer control on a 2D plane albeit on a fixed angle to the ground, depending on the values that have been assigned to the constants. This means that the z axis movement has not been calibrated to a comfortable user position/angle as mentioned above. I will, of course, be talking about auto calibration in a future post.
The shake bomb
In order to detect that the device has been shaken apply a high pass filter to the raw acceleration values. Then take the square root of the sum of the squares of the filtered values to compute the intensity of the current acceleration. If the intensity is above a certain threshold then the device has been shaken!
Hopefully, I will be able to post some code soon. If you would like to follow up on this, just leave a comment here or on twitter
, or drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.org
We are hard at work on our next game; All I can say for the moment is that we will attempt to augment the methodology described in this post, and apply it to 3D space, instead of a 2D plane. This has its challenges, but early testing has given us some valuable feedback. In short, to make tilt work in 3D space forget about mapping specific tilt actions to specific on screen behaviour. In this case it's all about context and the players preceding tilt action.
Thanks for reading! Soon, we'll be working on a post that focuses on the graphics of Glide Factor, the graphical style and how we used OpenGL. Hope to see you then and enjoy playing Glide Factor!

What is 404 not found?
One of my friends telling he has a lots of 404 not found on his blog and did not show the previous URL after search by Google. I told him when you hosted your site and did you delete your previous site. He just let me yes he had a good blog about some tutorial and good rank on Google but somehow he lost his hosting server.
I gave him some idea regarding 404 not found or why page not found from Google Webmaster Tools. Actually, if someone request to server to display but the page does not exist the server will automatically return 404 not found error. Such type of problem clearly informs both browsers and search engine that the page is not existing on the live server. After that the article or content would not be crawled by search engine. If the 404 code response to a request that the page does not exist, then the server will show 404 page. This means the file or page is not found File not Found In SEO talk we can say broken link. Some time such type of broken link dramatically decries your traffic and visitor will never come to your site for the next time to surfing any things. So be careful about 404 or broken link. No worries I will give some effective tips around this issue how to recover shortly. Just follow and do this immediately.

Monocarp and Polycarp are learning new programming techniques. Now they decided to try pair programming.

It's known that they have worked together on the same file for $$$n + m$$$ minutes. Every minute exactly one of them made one change to the file. Before they started, there were already $$$k$$$ lines written in the file.

Every minute exactly one of them does one of two actions: adds a new line to the end of the file or changes one of its lines.

Monocarp worked in total for $$$n$$$ minutes and performed the sequence of actions $$$[a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n]$$$. If $$$a_i = 0$$$, then he adds a new line to the end of the file. If $$$a_i > 0$$$, then he changes the line with the number $$$a_i$$$. Monocarp performed actions strictly in this order: $$$a_1$$$, then $$$a_2$$$, ..., $$$a_n$$$.

Polycarp worked in total for $$$m$$$ minutes and performed the sequence of actions $$$[b_1, b_2, \dots, b_m]$$$. If $$$b_j = 0$$$, then he adds a new line to the end of the file. If $$$b_j > 0$$$, then he changes the line with the number $$$b_j$$$. Polycarp performed actions strictly in this order: $$$b_1$$$, then $$$b_2$$$, ..., $$$b_m$$$.

Restore their common sequence of actions of length $$$n + m$$$ such that all actions would be correct — there should be no changes to lines that do not yet exist. Keep in mind that in the common sequence Monocarp's actions should form the subsequence $$$[a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n]$$$ and Polycarp's — subsequence $$$[b_1, b_2, \dots, b_m]$$$. They can replace each other at the computer any number of times.

Let's look at an example. Suppose $$$k = 3$$$. Monocarp first changed the line with the number $$$2$$$ and then added a new line (thus, $$$n = 2, \: a = [2, 0]$$$). Polycarp first added a new line and then changed the line with the number $$$5$$$ (thus, $$$m = 2, \: b = [0, 5]$$$).

Since the initial length of the file was $$$3$$$, in order for Polycarp to change line number $$$5$$$ two new lines must be added beforehand. Examples of correct sequences of changes, in this case, would be $$$[0, 2, 0, 5]$$$ and $$$[2, 0, 0, 5]$$$. Changes $$$[0, 0, 5, 2]$$$ (wrong order of actions) and $$$[0, 5, 2, 0]$$$ (line $$$5$$$ cannot be edited yet) are not correct.
