THE GOLDEN BOWL
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Lions Gate Films Director: James Ivory Writer: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, novel by Henry James Cast: Uma Thurman, Jeremy Northam, Kate Beckinsale, Nick Nolte, Anjelica Huston, James Fox, Madeleine Potter, Peter Eyre
In Mike Nichols's landmark film "The Graduate," a naive college graduate falls in love with the daughter of a woman who has seduced him, arriving just before the younger woman is to take her wedding vows with another man. In the movie's dramatic, concluding moments, he succeeds in stopping the wedding and spiriting the bride away. While some brides have been known to flee from the altar moments before tying the knot, such escapes rarely happen in such a striking manner. What's more common, however, is for a man or woman to walk the aisle with a second choice--with someone accepted because numero uno is somehow not available. Imagine what would happen, though, if just before the marriage of convenience--and for months after the occasion--one's true love shows up hither and thither to rekindles the flame! Such is the subject of Henry James's mature novel, "The Golden Bowl," which in the hands of a typical Hollywood studio could be made into broad comedy with soapish sentiment but is treated by James Ivory with much of the subtlety given the theme by the novelist.
In a gorgeous film that embraces the theme of class differences, Prince Amerigo (Jeremy Northam), a member of Europe's impoverished aristocracy, must abjure marriage to Charlotte (Uma Thurman), the love of his life, as they are too poor to marry (much like Lily Bart and Lawrence Selden in Edith Wharton's "The Mouse of Mirth"). The prince is luckier. When Charlotte re-enters the scene just before the scheduled nuptials of her prince in shining armor to Maggie (Kate Beckinsale)--who is the daughter of billionaire Adam Verver (Nick Nolte)--the tightly-drawn coil begins to unwind.
Talky, this is. But so what? The talk is good: clever, witty, ironic as all get-out and for suspense our attention is riveted almost throughout the film on how the plot will turn out. We are persuaded that Adam, who has about the closest relationship to his daughter Maggie that one can imagine a dad having with his grown-up girl, will take violent action against Amerigo for hurting her--for lying about his past affair with Charlotte and even worse for continuing the affair during the marriage to Maggie. After all, Amerigo and Charlotte are so dauntless in their attachment that they risk getting caught time and again. To foreshadow the potential of this revenge, director James Ivory opens the movie in much the way that Philip Kaufman opened "Quills." In Kaufman's case, a weeping aristocratic woman is being coarsely tied and led to the guillotine by a brutal executioner. Here, we see some of Amerigo's ancestors (15th or 16th century I believe) caught in bed with the wrong people, both led by an infuriated lord to a beheading. (One thinks of the revenge of Hannibal against Pazzi in Ridley Scott's blockbuster movie: tossed out the window and hanged in much the way a Pazzi of yore was done away with.)
The central symbol, the golden bowl, is a flawed gift which Charlotte and Amerigo consider buying for Maggie, the flaw representing the life led by the two rich Ververs which shield them from the truth about their most important relationships.
What a cast, with one exception. What's Uma Thurman doing in a Merchant-Ivory movie anyway? To my eyes she's unattractive: one can hardly understand the prince's undying passion for her particularly when he is married to a rich and awfully cute woman (that's Kate Beckinsale), but given the debonair character of Amerigo with his sexy Italian accent (well kept throughout by Jeremy Northam), one can understand the fatal-attraction type love felt for him by Ms. Thurman's character. As for production design, tops. A costume ball contrasts with a scene of industrial America, the latter indicating that Adam Verver made his money by paying immigrant labor mighty low wages for a 12-hour 7-day week. Castles all over Italy and England were borrowed for the occasion.
Anjelica Huston plays the Maggie-Smith like role as the all- knowing aunt (Fanny), nose-in-the-air with disgust at the vulgar American culture which she fortunately need not put up with in England, and Nick Nolte shines as the well-kept rich guy with his collection of Holbeins and the like but with an almost agoraphobic mistrust of the fresh air.
Since "The Golden Bowl" is considered by some to be Henry James's most mature work, one wonders why it took so long for the filmed version, given the existence of Iain Softley's "The Wings of the Dove," James Ivory's "The Bostonians" and "The Europeans," Agnieszka Holland's "Washington Square," Peter Bogdanovich's "Daisy Miller" and James Campion's "The Portrait of a Lady." Perhaps screenwriters were intimidated with the story's intricate, sophisticated, even convoluted narrative and the difficulty of putting subtle levels of analysis and character on the big screen. Nonetheless we're pleased that Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has tackled the difficult job of trying to evoke the subtlety of the novelist's language--James's bid to circle around a subject without touching it directly. While "The Golden Bowl" is filmed by James Ivory on location in England, Italy and a sound-bite in the U.S., cultural differences are subordinated in the film (as they were in the novel) in favor of an intense study of individual character in this filmed version. A startling production which would be of interest to the Merchant-Ivory fans but too verbal for the MTV crowd.

Full-Stack Web Developer | Software Engineer
Based in Chicago, IL
My name is Matt Gubernick, I’m a full-stack web developer and software engineer. I have a background in Post Production Audio Engineering & Sound Design. I most recently worked in the hospitality industry creating and facilitating meetings and events for both individuals and big companies. These industries merged my interests in collaboration, problem solving and efficiency, continual learning and creative thinking. I was able to work with coworkers and clients to turn vision into reality and problem solve creatively, efficiently, and in real time. The time spent in these prior industries along with the experiences and skills gained in the General Assembly program helped solidify my excitement for pursuing a new adventure in the world of development.
Similar to my career and professional interests, you can find me in my free time practicing and competing with the my ultimate frisbee team. Otherwise you'll probably find me biking around the Chicagoland area or indoors playing guitar or working on puzzles (both computer/software based and physical game puzzles) with a cup of coffee near by.
I hope to work for a company where I can not only continue to grow as a developer but also continue to utilize my creative problem solving skills in an exciting, fun and collaborative environment.


Problem
The University of Connecticut’s phonebook is widely used by faculty, staff, and students. However, despite this, the site has not been updated in over ten years. This is an issue because this is the only University phonebook and it has confusing navigation and an outdated UI that doesn’t align with the current University’s brand standards. More importnatly, it does not not adapt to mobile. The web practices are long outdated and features for accesibility needs to be addressed.
Initial Planning
I wanted to map out user flows and scenarios that a user might go through when using the site. I jotted down some
possible choices that a user might make and came to realize that the user will most likely be using the search bar
the most. With this in mind, it was important to design a search bar that is easily accesbile and simple to use.
User Research:
I began my research by looking and studying other phone book sites, particularly other University ones to get a better sense on of where to start. I studied their interfaces, user flow, and information architecture. I wanted to see what aspects worked and what didn’t.
I then asked people about their concerns and opinions about the site and how it may or may not fulfill their needs.
After talking with a few people, I concluded that a lot of the concerns discussed among the team were also prevalent among students. Many of those interviewed were not design students, but they could still tell that this site’s design is outdated. In addition, the current navigation is flawed, as there are many broken and unneccesary links/pages and dead ends, making it difficult to conduct another search once you click on those links. It was mutually agreed upon that rather than leading the user to different pages, it is most efficient to have the search function stay the same throughout the user’s time on the site, which eliminates the confusing navigation.
To help summarize the answers received, I created three different user personas of current and potential users.
Personas
Goals and Objectives
Boiling down to the main problem, it is evident that:
- a. For a website that functions mainly as a search engine, the size of the search area is not proportionate to it’s aimed usage.
- b. The design for the site makes it hard for those with disabilities to see and access, as the font size is too smart, making it not only difficult to use in desktop, but even more difficult in mobile. In addition, the lack of contrast in the type and the background color makes it hard to read the content.
That being said, I came down to a few objectives to focus on and problems that can be addressed:
- Think about user navigation, finding the most efficient navigation make it accessible for everyone, using best web practices.
- Put more emphasis on the search bar — make it more accesible and have it be easy to use, as it is the site’s main purpose.
- Redesign the interface to fit University’s branding standards and to update outdated UI
Early Wireframes
Addressing Interface
The website colors are far removed from branding standards. More importantly, the colors dont’ provide a clear contrast, making it not accesible for certain people to read, especially with the small font-size. The goal was to design the site to give it more real estate, maximizing and
qefficiently making use of space.
Website UI
When choosing colors, I referred back to the notes I took on other phonebooks I researched. Universities tended to stick
with colors in their brand guidelines. This moves makes sense as you want to associate the phonebook with the University.
I decided to stick with two colors — the UConn blue and white, as they provide a very clear and crisp contrast and
passes web accesibllity requirements**.
As for the advanced search, rather than redirecting the user to the new page as the old site would do so, it would be best if we could remain on the same page to reduce confusion in navigation.
Addressing Search Issues
The University phonebook serves as a database for thousands of students, faculty, and staff. With so many people in a database, it is inevitable that some people might share the same or similar names. I tried to search a name and saw that there were two results. For someone who might want to save time or differentiate between the two, it is difficult to do so without repeatedly clicking and backtracking.
To help differentiante between the three, I figured we could display both their name, title, and contact info (telephone and email) so users won’t have to click on a name link just to realize it was the wrong one.
Website Flow
Conclusion
In this project, I gained insight of the different needs people might have depending on their background.
Overall, I learned that:
a. Learning about the user is important. It is important to reach out to different demographics to get an overall image of what users might need. What a young college student needs might be different than what an older person who is less knowledgeable about technology might need.
b. Prototyping was an extremely important part in the process. We tested different length emails, names, and taking out some information that might not be available to see what a card would look like — this helped create a universal design that would work with text of different lengths.
c. Visual design and creating design with updated UI elements will help tie the phonebook to the current University brand.
The website is still in production and development will take place in the upcoming year.

Poppy and Ted set tails wagging by joining West Mercia Search & Rescue team - with video
If you think you can hide from these lifesaving hounds, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
by Nick HumphreysWest Mercia Search & Rescue has set up a new dog unit as part of its crucial operation, and the new canine recruits have been taking part in training to get ready for action.
Volunteers from Hilton Hotels joined them for a day in the woods near Stanmore Business Park in Bridgnorth to help the dogs, Poppy and Ted, locate people quicker as well as speed up the overall search and rescue process.
Staff from Hilton acted as missing people, and also learned some valuable lessons about river safety.
Watch Ted in action:
Nicola Gough, who works for the company and has friends in the search and rescue team, said: "It was great and it really helped improve everyone's understand on river safety and what search and rescue teams do.
"Everyone had great fun doing the tasks. At the beginning there was a talk which was more on the serious route, and then we took part. We got to meet the trainee dogs who were learning so they can become fully-fledged search and rescue dogs.
"We had one group doing search exercises with the dogs, where the dogs had to find them, and another group did throw-line exercises.
"A lot of people don't realise how to use it properly, and that you actually have to keep hold of one end or you'll throw the whole thing in.
"Everyone had a lot of fun but there was a serious message behind it. It's all about raising awareness.
"I've got friends who volunteer for them in Bridgnorth and they have a hell of a lot to do. They get so many call-outs."

 As she runs, she notices a bottle jutting out of the compacted sand, looks around as if she were on Candid Camera, and finally pulls it free. Yup; just like the song, there is a message inside.
The woman is Theresa Osbourne (Robin Wright Penn), a researcher for the Chicago Tribune, and the letter moves her and her equally lovelorn co-workers to tears. It is, apparently, a letter written by a man that had recently lost his wife and had written the message as some type of bizarre sea catharsis.
Not able to put the memory of the message or the effect of its romantic drivel out of her head, Theresa decides to track down the mystery man.  The newspaper then writes a brief human interest piece on the enigma of a message in a bottle and, after receiving tons of responses, Theresa winds up getting copies of two other letters similar in form and content.
Together with the crack research staff of the Tribune (which resembles something more like an expert FBI forensics team), Theresa tracks down the author of her letters via a tiny stationery store in St. Claire, North Carolina. It seems that after all of these years, the store employee still had the name and address of the guy who bought the letterhead and had no qualms about giving it out. His name is Garret Blake (Kevin Costner), a boat-fixer-upper guy in St. Claire. Theresa is on the next flight to North Carolina.
Her first glimpse of Garret is down on the water as he works on restoring a beautiful schooner. As luck would have it, he is an attractive man with big, strong, blue-collar hands, his only physical defect being thinning hair (in real life, he would have been a Morley Safer lookalike). She feigns interest in the vessel and he invites her to take a little sail with him. Despite the fact that she was raised in a land-locked state, Theresa never gets seasick during the one-hour cruise.
The two spend the next three days together and end up falling in love more quickly (and almost more unbelievably) than Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley in The Naked Gun. Theresa discovers that Garret's artist wife died after pregnancy complications. Not quite over his monumental loss, Garret hasn't quite had the heart to disturb any of his late wife's belongings – their house is somewhat of a living shrine to her memory. Of course, none of this hinders Garret from trying to get into Theresa's pants lickety-split. At one point, he awkwardly asks `Do you like meat?' What a smooth talker!
Things progress predictably until the final reel, when things take a bit of an unexpected twist and all but the numbest apathetic will have their waterworks turned to full blast. Penn and Costner have little chemistry, but are individually inoffensive – she has great hair and he has tight jeans (this may be a special clause in all of his contracts). Acting-wise, Paul Newman is the only standout as Garret's crusty old father. He is much more effective as a weathered drunk than last year's staggeringly hokey gumshoe in Twilight.
The filmmakers are no strangers to the tear-jerking medium – director Luis Mandoki (When a Man Loves a Woman) and writer Gerald DiPego (Phenomenon) etch a moderately light version of The English Patient, with Oscar winner Gabriel Yared providing the score. Based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook), Message is warmly lensed by Caleb Deschanel (Fly Away Home). As a film it's mediocre, but as a chick flick it's better than most.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. In today’s synthesized, super-sexualized, overhyped music industry is there really a place for spiritual harp music?
Yes.
The key is volume. The entire Beatles catalogue has 275 original compositions.
David wrote 3600. The man is a machine. The licensing alone would be more than enough. He’s also got a niche with religious music. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention his biggest fan….God.
I’m thinking we market him as ‘Kenny G meets John Mayer….with a harp.’
I’ve even got a name for his first album: ‘Yaweh or the Highway’.
Edgy.

emuStudio is a free, cross-platform toy-computer emulation platform and framework. It targets the "academic" sphere to help students or enthusiasts gaining the "know-how" and experiment with how computers work.
Platform, because it supports full computer emulation "life-cycle". From writing and compiling programs for the emulated machine, to running and debugging. Examples of real computer emulators are MITS Altair8800, SSEM (a.k.a. "Baby"). Abstract computers include: RAM, RASP, and Brainfuck "emulator".
Framework, because it includes API and supporting back-end enabling developing new computer emulators. Good developer documentation is a matter of course. As in real computers, emuStudio allows reusing existing components resulting in different computer configurations.
Follow @emuStudioThe following options might help you getting started with emuStudio.
If you are curious how emuStudio looks before installing it, we have some screenshots prepared.
See ScreenshotsemuStudio is easy to use. Still, a guidance to advanced user experience might be interesting.

Instructor Demo: Kubernetes Basics
In this demo, we'll illustrate:
- Setting up a Kubernetes cluster with one master and two nodes
- Scheduling a pod, including the effect of taints on scheduling
- Namespaces shared by containers in a pod
Initializing Kubernetes
Everyone should follow along with this section to install Kubernetes. On
node-0
, initialize the cluster withkubeadm
:[centos@node-0 ~]$ sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=<IP_ADDRESS>/16 \ --ignore-preflight-errors=SystemVerification
If successful, the output will end with a join command:
... You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node as root: kubeadm join <IP_ADDRESS>:6443 --token wdytg5.q1w1f4dau7u6wk11 --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:a3b222227e5b064d498321d1838ee271355aae810f7ef1c984f4304e68143c81
To start using you cluster, you need to run:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ mkdir -p $HOME/.kube [centos@node-0 ~]$ sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config [centos@node-0 ~]$ sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
List all your nodes in the cluster:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get nodes
Which should output something like:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION node-0 NotReady master 2h v1.11.1
The
NotReady
status indicates that we must install a network for our cluster.Let's install the Calico network driver:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl apply -f https://bit.ly/2v9yaaV
After a moment, if we list nodes again, ours should be ready:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get nodes -w NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION node-0 NotReady master 1m v1.11.1 node-0 NotReady master 1m v1.11.1 node-0 NotReady master 1m v1.11.1 node-0 Ready master 2m v1.11.1 node-0 Ready master 2m v1.11.1
Exploring Kubernetes Scheduling
Let's create a
demo-pod.yaml
file onnode-0
after enabling Kubernetes on this single node:apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: demo-pod spec: volumes: - name: shared-data emptyDir: {} containers: - name: nginx image: nginx - name: mydemo image: centos:7 command: ["ping", "<IP_ADDRESS>"]
Deploy the pod:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl create -f demo-pod.yaml
Check to see if the pod is running:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get pod demo-pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE demo-pod 0/2 Pending 0 7s
The status should be stuck in pending. Why is that?
Let's attempt to troubleshoot by obtaining some information about the pod:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl describe pod demo-pod
In the bottom section titled
Events:
, we should see something like this:... Events: Type Reason ... Message ---- ------ ... ------- Warning FailedScheduling ... 0/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) had taints that the pod didn't tolerate.
Note how it states that the one node in your cluster has a taint, which is Kubernetes's way of saying there's a reason you might not want to schedule pods there.
Get some state and config information about your single kubernetes node:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl describe nodes
If we scroll a little, we should see a field titled
Taints
, and it should say something like:Taints: node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule
By default, Kubernetes masters carry a taint that disallows scheduling pods on them. While this can be overridden, it is best practice to not allow pods to get scheduled on master nodes, in order to ensure the stability of your cluster.
Execute the join command you found above when initializing Kubernetes on
node-1
andnode-2
(you'll need to addsudo
to the start, and--ignore-preflight-errors=SystemVerification
to the end), and then check the status back onnode-0
:[centos@node-1 ~]$ sudo kubeadm join...--ignore-preflight-errors=SystemVerification [centos@node-2 ~]$ sudo kubeadm join...--ignore-preflight-errors=SystemVerification [centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get nodes
After a few moments, there should be three nodes listed - all with the
Ready
status.Let's see what system pods are running on our cluster:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system
which results in something similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE calico-etcd-pfhj4 1/1 Running 1 5h calico-kube-controllers-559c657d6d-ztk8c 1/1 Running 1 5h calico-node-89k9v 2/2 Running 0 4h calico-node-brqxz 2/2 Running 2 5h calico-node-zsmh2 2/2 Running 1 41s coredns-78fcdf6894-gtj87 1/1 Running 1 5h coredns-78fcdf6894-nz2kw 1/1 Running 1 5h etcd-node-0 1/1 Running 1 5h kube-apiserver-node-0 1/1 Running 1 5h kube-controller-manager-node-0 1/1 Running 1 5h kube-proxy-qxfzt 1/1 Running 0 41s kube-proxy-vgrtm 1/1 Running 0 4h kube-proxy-ws2z5 1/1 Running 0 5h kube-scheduler-node-0 1/1 Running 1 5h
We can see the pods running on the master: etcd, api-server, controller manager and scheduler, as well as calico and DNS infrastructure pods deployed when we installed calico.
Finally, let's check the status of our demo pod now:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl get pod demo-pod
Everything should be working correctly with 2/2 containers in the pod running, now that there are un-tainted nodes for the pod to get scheduled on.
Exploring Containers in a Pod
Let's interact with the centos container running in demo-pod by getting a shell in it:
[centos@node-0 ~]$ kubectl exec -it -c mydemo demo-pod -- /bin/bash
Try listing the processes in this container:
[root@demo-pod /]# ps -aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 24860 1992 ? Ss 14:48 0:00 ping <IP_ADDRESS> root 5 0.0 0.0 11832 3036 pts/0 Ss 14:48 0:00 /bin/bash root 20 0.0 0.0 51720 3508 pts/0 R+ 14:48 0:00 ps -aux
We can see the ping process we containerized in our yaml file running as PID 1 inside this container, just like we saw for plain containers.
Try reaching Nginx:
[root@demo-pod /]# curl localhost:80
You should see the HTML for the default nginx landing page. Notice the difference here from a regular container; we were able to reach our nginx deployment from our centos container on a port on localhost. The nginx and centos containers share a network namespace and therefore all their ports, since they are part of the same pod.
Conclusion
In this demo, we saw two scheduling innovations Kubernetes offers: taints, which provide 'anti-affinity', or reasons not to schedule a pod on a given node; and pods, which are groups of containers that are always scheduled on the same node, and share network, IPC and hostname namespaces. These are both examples of Kubernetes's highly expressive scheduling, and are both difficult to reproduce with the simpler scheduling offered by Swarm.

Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda & Eve Issue Joint Statement “Rise
Against Impunity”
International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and Eve are
joining forces this International Women’s Day to escalate the
fight to end impunity for perpetrators of gender crimes through
combined efforts of advocacy and accountability, action and justice.
“We have chosen to come together to call on courts, governments,
legal bodies to end impunity and hold perpetrators accountable. We
are asking you to join us and rise to end impunity.” - Prosecutor
Bensouda and Eve Ensler.
To coincide with this call to action, we are urging activists to find
and highlight examples of injustice and impunity in your community and
begin to put pressure where it counts. Hold perpetrators accountable
wherever they are.
“We have seen the power of one billion women and men breaking the
silence, rising, healing trauma through dance and outrage, building
global solidarity and energy, and rising on a scale never before seen.
Next we must rise against impunity,” stated Ensler.
“The investigation and prosecution of gender based crimes must be made
a priority. Victims given a voice, their own voice to tell their
stories and perpetrators must not go unpunished. Together we can send
a clear, strong and consistent message that the use of violence
against women as a tool in war is no longer acceptable,” said
Prosecutor Bensouda.
USE the new hashtag starting today, 8 March.

REMEMBER MY NAME (director/writer: Alan Rudolph; cinematographer: Tak Fujimoto; editors: William A. Sawyer/Tom Walls Jr.; cast: Geraldine Chaplin (Emily), Anthony Perkins (Neil Curry), Berry Berenson (Barbara), Moses Gunn (Pike), Jeff Goldblum (Mr. Nudd), Alfre Woodard (Rita), Jeff Perry (Harry); Runtime: 94; Lion's Gate Films; 1978)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A strange, moody, engrossing, modernized film of the 1940s noir genre, from director/writer Alan Rudolph (Choose Me/The Moderns). It is noted for the understated but tense performance by Anthony Perkins and the electric and a very passionate performance by Geraldine Chaplin, where you can actually feel her pain and sympathize with her even though she's the aggressor. Setting the dark and torturous mood with her soundtrack is Alberta Hunter's most appealing blues score, which she also performs. Tak Fujimoto's camera is sharp in its character delineation, cutting deeply into this tale of revenge with its powerful close-ups.
Emily (Geraldine Chaplin) is just getting out of prison after serving a long stretch for murdering the girl her husband Neil Curry (Anthony Perkins) was having an affair with. Neil is now her ex-husband, married to Barbara (Berry Berenson). He has never told Barbara about his ex-wife.
Emily is a nervous, chain-smoking, emotionally troubled woman who rents a boarding-house room in an unnamed suburban community, gets a security guard who is in charge of the house, Pike (Gunn), to fix up the room and make it livable by playing on his attraction for her, and goes about her main business, which is stalking Neil and harassing his wife.
She gets a job as a cashier in a small general store, because she got to know the store owner's mother while in prison. Mr. Nudd (Goldblum), the nerdy boss, has a history of hiring those his husband-killer mother recommends, but is quick to fire them at the first-sign of an irregularity.
Neil is a construction worker, blissful in his new marriage, with plans to build a more luxurious house for them to live in, which pleases his wife. Neil seems like a regular guy, drinking beer and working hard to make ends meet.
A sense of foreboding violence and a quirky sense of humor go very well together in this film, as Emily has this crazed and confused look about her and speaks in an unnatural almost comical tone, as if she forgot how to speak and is learning it anew. From her perplexing demeanor, it's hard to figure where she's going with this stalking, revenge thing she has for her ex-husband. When she breaks a window in Neil's house and confronts Barbara inside the house, she scares Barbara, who doesn't know what she wants.
She succeeds in messing with Neil's life and gains the viewer's sympathy, as she seems to be more of a victim than at first thought. Her aggressive behavior always comes at being frustrated by something she can't handle. What is clearly seen on her face, is all the pain she feels inside. In the background TV news flashes about an earthquake in Budapest are repeated, and each time the death toll keeps getting higher, until it reaches an attention grabbing one million deaths. The irony in it, is all the main characters watch the news report, but it is too impersonal for them to even react to it, they are too overwhelmed with the problems in their personal life to care about anyone else.
I remembered Emily's name by the time the film ended, and felt moved by her strained performance and all the emotions, pathos, and humor that was in it. The film was too arty at times, as is the want of the director, but it is a gripping film, one that I recommend for the way it outstandingly depicts the subtleties in the way the characters act.

Utils Module¶
This module contains utility functions that are commonly used throughout SCOUT.
In particular, this module contains map-reduce style utility functions for processing large chunk-compressed arrays in parallel.
A class to share memory between processes
Instantiate this class in the parent process and use in all processes.
For all but Linux, we use the mmap module to get a buffer for Numpy to access through numpy.frombuffer. But in Linux, we use /dev/shm which has no file backing it and does not need to deal with maintaining a consistent view of itself on a disk.
Typical use:
shm = SharedMemory((100, 100, 100), np.float32) def do_something(): with shm.txn() as a: a[...] = ... with multiprocessing.Pool() as pool: pool.apply_async(do_something, args)
A contextual wrapper of the shared memory
Returns: A view of the shared memory which has the shape and dtype given at construction Return type: memory - array
-
scout.utils.
box_slice_idx
(start, stop)¶ Creates an index tuple for a bounding box from start to stop using slices
Parameters: - start (array-like) – index of box start
- stop (array-like) – index of box stop (index not included in result)
Returns: idx – index tuple for bounding box
Return type: tuple
-
scout.utils.
chunk_coordinates
(shape, chunks)¶ Calculate the global coordaintes for each chunk’s starting position
Parameters: - shape (tuple) – shape of the image to chunk
- chunks (tuple) – shape of each chunk
Returns: start_coords – the starting indices of each chunk
Return type: ndarray
-
scout.utils.
chunk_dims
(img_shape, chunk_shape)¶ Calculate the number of chunks needed for a given image shape
Parameters: - img_shape (tuple) – whole image shape
- chunk_shape (tuple) – individual chunk shape
Returns: nb_chunks – a tuple containing the number of chunks in each dimension
Return type: tuple
-
scout.utils.
extract_box
(arr, start, stop)¶ Indexes arr from start to stop
Parameters: - arr (array-like or SharedMemory) – input array to index
- start (array-like) – starting index of the slice
- stop (array-like) – ending index of the slice. The element at this index is not included.
Returns: box – resulting box from arr
Return type: ndarray
-
scout.utils.
files_in_dir
(path)¶ Searches a path for all files
Parameters: path (str) – The directory path to check for files Returns: list of all files and subdirectories in the input path (excluding . and ..) Return type: list
-
scout.utils.
insert_box
(arr, start, stop, data)¶ Indexes arr from start to stop and inserts data
Parameters: - arr (array-like) – input array to index
- start (array-like) – starting index of the slice
- stop (array-like) – ending index of the slice. The element at this index is not included.
- data (array-like) – sub-array to insert into arr
Returns: box – resulting box from arr
Return type: ndarray
-
scout.utils.
pmap_chunks
(f, arr, chunks=None, nb_workers=None, use_imap=False, unordered=False, chunksize=None)¶ Maps a function over an array in parallel using chunks
The function f should take a reference to the array, a starting index, and the chunk size. Since each subprocess is handling it’s own indexing, any overlapping should be baked into f. Caution: arr may get copied if not using memmap. Use with SharedMemory or Zarr array to avoid copies.
Parameters: - f (callable) – function with signature f(arr, start_coord, chunks). May need to use partial to define other args.
- arr (array-like) – an N-dimensional input array
- chunks (tuple, optional) – the shape of chunks to use. Default tries to access arr.chunks and falls back to arr.shape
- nb_workers (int, optional) – number of parallel processes to apply f with. Default, cpu_count
- use_imap (bool, optional) – whether or not to use imap instead os starmap in order to get an iterator for tqdm. Note that this requires input tuple unpacking manually inside of f.
Returns: result – list of results for each chunk
Return type: list
-
scout.utils.
read_voxel_size
(path)¶ Reads in the voxel size stored in path CSV file with voxel dimensions in nanometers
Parameters: path (str) – Path to CSV file containing integer values of voxel dimensions in nanometers Returns: size – Physical voxel size in same order as in CSV Return type: tuple
-
scout.utils.
tifs_in_dir
(path)¶ Searches input path for tif files
Parameters: path (str) – path of the directory to check for tif images Returns: - tif_paths (list) – list of paths to tiffs in path
- tif_filenames (list) – list of tiff filenames (with the extension) in path


You may remember from the chapter about matrices that all the elements that you put in a matrix should be of the same type. Back then, your data set on Star Wars only contained numeric elements.
When doing a market research survey, however, you often have questions such as:
logical
)numeric
)character
)The output, namely the respondents' answers to the questions formulated above, is a data set of different data types. You will often find yourself working with data sets that contain different data types instead of only one.
A data frame has the variables of a data set as columns and the observations as rows. This will be a familiar concept for those coming from different statistical software packages such as SAS or SPSS.
Click 'Submit Answer'. The data from the built-in example data frame mtcars
will be printed to the console.

Unlimited Games. How should Red play 43?
pips Red=129 White=103
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Over the board the natural-looking 8/4, 7/4 was played but this seemingly ‘obvious’ move is worse than a double blunder!
Red should be seeking to stop White’s last rear checker from escaping. A blitz is a possibility, but the main game plan is priming. When your opponent has only one rear checker the bar-point often takes precedence over inner board points. Therefore 10/7 is the ‘forced’ three.
After that 10/6 is too stiff and so the logical play is 6/2. Even if the blot is hit White won’t be at the edge of Red’s broken prime and meanwhile Red keeps a potentially useful six for next turn with the blot on the 10-pt.
10/7, 10/6 is a bad error.

In my previous post I wrote about Building a Custom Validator in Grails using a Plugin. That's a great way to build a reusable Constraint that will allow you to share your code among multiple projects. But often you only have one application that you are building, or a validator is a very domain specific thing that will only make sense in a single app.
Config.groovy {% highlight groovy %} org.codehaus.groovy.grails.validation.ConstrainedProperty.registerNewConstraint( PostalCodeConstraint.POSTAL_CODE_CONSTRAINT, PostalCodeConstraint.class) {% endhighlight %}
Have fun building your own Constraints!

#[http_status_text]
Status #[http_status]
The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client
seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the
server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error
situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These
status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents SHOULD
display any included entity to the user.
If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP SHOULD
be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of the
packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the input
connection. If the client continues sending data to the server after the
close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to the client,
which may erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers before they
can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application.
The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications.
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field. If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity might include relevant diagnostic information.
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) can be used instead.
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource.
The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
according to the accept headers sent in the request.
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate.
The entity format is specified by the media type given in the
Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the
capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice
MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not
define any standard for such automatic selection.
If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily
stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further
actions.
The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.
The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message.
The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity
is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server MAY
close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the
request.
If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry- After
header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the
client MAY try again.
A server SHOULD return a response with this status code if a request
included a Range request-header field, and none of the range-specifier
values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected
resource, and the request did not include an If-Range request-header
field. (For byte-ranges, this means that the first- byte-pos of all of
the byte-range-spec values were greater than the current length of the
selected resource.)
When this status code is returned for a byte-range request, the response
SHOULD include a Content-Range entity-header field specifying the
current length of the selected resource (see section 14.16). This
response MUST NOT use the multipart/byteranges content- type.
The method was not executed on a particular resource within its scope because some part of the method's execution failed causing the entire method to be aborted. For example, if a command in a PROPPATCH method fails then, at minimum, the rest of the commands will also fail with 424 Method Failure.


On the server side, we need to configure GRPC and enable the service layer through the following CLI configuration:
!  Configure Service layer configure grpc service-layer commit end
We also need to configure a server IP address. To configure an IP address on the management interface, one can use dhcp as follows:
! Configure the Mgmt Interface configure interface MgmtEth 0/RP0/CPU0/0 ipv4 address dhcp no shut commit end
To check the IP address assigned:
show ip interface brief
On the client side, the very first thing we need to do is set the server IP address and gRPC port. You can check your port number by running the following CLI command on the IOS-XR server box (should be the same as the one configured):
# show run grpc
Set the server address and port number as environment variables with the following example command (this is assuming you are in bash shell):
$ export SERVER_IP=<IP_ADDRESS> $ export SERVER_PORT=57344
The above assumes that the IP address of the node is <IP_ADDRESS>.
This completes all the setup needed to start writing some code! Hop into your python interpreter and try out some of the commands to get familiar with the API.
The following basic tutorial will walk you through getting started with the Service Layer API, in particular on how to add a route. This may require some initial python and GRPC setup, which will be explained below. For now, if you already have passed this setup step, run the example:
cd grpc/python/src python3 tutorial/quickstart.py
The following sections explain the details of the above example tutorial.
If you are not familiar with gRPC, we recommend you refer to gRPC's documentation before beginning with our tutorial: gRPC Docs
You should have received all of the Protobuf files required to run the Cisco Service Laye API. In order to generate the gRPC client side code stubs in python, run the following command (you may have to adjust the path to the proto files and the output according to your requirements):
For convenience, these files are also committed in this repo under grpc/python/src/genpy/ (so you can skip this step).
$ protoc -I ../../protos --python_out=. --grpc_out=./genpy/ --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_python_plugin` ../../protos/*.proto
This generates the code stubs that we will now utilize to create a client. The files are recognizable from the "_pb2" and "_pb2_grpc" that is appended to the name of the proto files they were generated from (example: sl_route_ipv4_pb2.py).
In order to follow this quick tutorial, it is best to open the files in grpc/python/src/tutorial/
quickstart.py : The full tutorial example client_init.py : Used to setup the client-server connection vrf.py : Used to setup the Route vertical
As shown in quickstart.py, the first thing to do is to setup the GRPC channel:
server_ip, server_port = util.get_server_ip_port() channel = grpc.insecure_channel(server_ip, server_port)
Once connected, we need to handshake the API version number with the server. The same RPC call also sets up an asynchronous stream of notifications from the server. The first notification would be the response to our version number message i.e. SLInitMsg, as a SLGlobalNotif event with type SL_GLOBAL_EVENT_TYPE_VERSION. This can be done by calling:
SLGlobalInitNotif(init_msg, Timeout)
The above function takes the client major, minor and sub version numbers and sends them to the Service Layer service to get a handshake on the API version number. More on this below.
The following code snippets are copied from file client_init.py
def client_init(stub, event): # # Create SLInitMsg to handshake the version number with the server. # The Server will allow/deny access based on the version number. # The same RPC is used to setup a notification channel for global # events coming from the server. # # # Set the client version number based on the current proto files' version init_msg = sl_global_pb2.SLInitMsg() init_msg.MajorVer = sl_version_pb2.SL_MAJOR_VERSION init_msg.MinorVer = sl_version_pb2.SL_MINOR_VERSION init_msg.SubVer = sl_version_pb2.SL_SUB_VERSION # Set a very large timeout, as we will "for ever" loop listening on # notifications from the server Timeout = 365*24*60*60 # Seconds # This for loop will never end unless the server closes the session for response in stub.SLGlobalInitNotif(init_msg, Timeout): if response.EventType == sl_global_pb2.SL_GLOBAL_EVENT_TYPE_VERSION: if (sl_common_types_pb2.SLErrorStatus.SL_SUCCESS == response.ErrStatus.Status):
The above python definition also handles other events such as errors and heartbeats. Notice that the client_init definition above takes a GRPC stub as an argument. This is typically created through:
# Create the gRPC stub. stub = sl_global_pb2_grpc.SLGlobalStub(channel)
Since the above client_init function would never return, it is best to spawn it as a thread, and run it in the background. In python, we do so by calling a threading event:
# # Spawn a thread for global events # def global_init(channel): # Create the gRPC stub. stub = sl_global_pb2_grpc.SLGlobalStub(channel) # Create a thread sync event. This will be used to order thread execution event = threading.Event() # The main reason we spawn a thread here, is that we dedicate a GRPC # channel to listen on Global asynchronous events/notifications. # This thread will be handling these event notifications. t = threading.Thread(target = global_thread, args=(stub, event)) t.start()
In general, before we can use a vertical function like the route APIs, we have to register on that vertical. The route API allows the user to register based on a per VRF basis. So, before any additions or modification of routes can be made we need to register with the proper VRF, which requires sending a VRF registration message and then an EOF message to clean up any stale routes that may be there from an older configuration (this will become handy on restart or recovery scenarios).
The following snippets are copied from file vrf.py
Next up, create the stub instance using the channel. This stub will have the exact same methods that are available on the server. To do this, we need to import the stub code generated from our ProtoBuf files. Depending on what calls you want to make, different stubs will be used. We are going to be making changes to our IPv4 routes, so we use the SLRoutev4OperStub.
from genpy import sl_route_ipv4_pb2_grpc stub = sl_route_ipv4_pb2_grpc.SLRoutev4OperStub(channel)
Time to fill in some variables!
Create the SLVrfRegMsg
object. Generating a SLVrfRegMsg
object allows us to use dot notation to access and set it's variables.
from genpy import sl_route_common_pb2 vrfMsg = sl_route_common_pb2.SLVrfRegMsg()
The VRF registration message contains a set of VRF registration objects.
Create an SLVrfReg
object.
vrfObj = sl_route_common_pb2.SLVrfReg()
Set the VRF registration object attributes:
VRF name. The default VRF in IOS-XR is called "default":
vrfObj.VrfName = 'default'
Administrative distance. The admin distance is used by RIB to make best path decisions.
vrfObj.AdminDistance = 2
VRF purge interval. This is useful on restart scenarios.
vrfObj.VrfPurgeIntervalSeconds = 500
Add the registration message to the list. In the case of a bulk object, we can append other VRF objects to the list.
vrfList.append(vrfObj)
Now that the list is completed, assign vrf_list
to the SLVrfRegMsg
.
vrfMsg.VrfRegMsgs.extend(vrfList)
Make the RPC call.
We are ready to make our call to the API. We'll send the SLVrfRegMsg vrfMsg
and a timeout interval (in seconds) for the gRPC server.
Timeout = 10 # Seconds response = stub.SLRoutev4VrfRegOp(vrfMsg, Timeout)
Note that the vrfMsg has an Oper field that determines the operation type:
SL_REGOP_REGISTER : used for registrations SL_REGOP_EOF : used for EOF signaling. Useful for restart scenarios SL_REGOP_UNREGISTER: used to unregister, which would clean all previous roues added in that VRF.
Finally, we can print our response from the server. Notice that, since we can add a batch of VRF registrations, we want to print a result code for each individual response. To do this, we check if the response is an error, and if it is we print the name of the vrf that caused the error as well as the hexadecimal error code.
if (response.StatusSummary.Status == sl_common_types_pb2.SLErrorStatus.SL_SUCCESS): print "VRF %s Success!" %( sl_common_types_pb2.SLRegOp.keys()[oper]) else: print "Error code for VRF %s is 0x%x! Response:" % ( sl_common_types_pb2.SLRegOp.keys()[oper], response.StatusSummary.Status ) print response # If we have partial failures within the batch, let's print them if (response.StatusSummary.Status == sl_common_types_pb2.SLErrorStatus.SL_SOME_ERR): for result in response.Results: print "Error code for %s is 0x%x" %(result.VrfName, result.ErrStatus.Status )
Now that we have registered the VRF, we can start adding routes. We will show adding a batch of 10 routes to the RIB.
Create an empty list of routes.
routeList = []
Create a SLRoutev4Msg
message.
rtMsg = sl_route_ipv4_pb2.SLRoutev4Msg()
Fill in the route attributes.
VRF Name
rtMsg.VrfName = 'default'
Add a loop that will add 10 incrementing routes to the RIB table.
for i in range(10):
Create a SLRoutev4
object.
route = sl_route_ipv4_pb2.SLRoutev4()
IP address import ipaddress route.Prefix = ( int(ipaddress.ip_address('20.0.'+ str(i) + '.0')) )
Prefix Length
route.PrefixLen = 24
Administrative distance (this can override the VRF registration admin distance)
route.RouteCommon.AdminDistance = 2
Set the route's paths.
A route may have one or many paths. Create an empty list of paths as a placeholder for these paths.
paths = []
Create an SLRoutePath
object.
path = sl_route_common_pb2.SLRoutePath()
Fill in the path attributes. Note: if you are deleting a route, paths are not required to be added, so it is better not to fill in this part for a delete.
Path next hop address
path.NexthopAddress.V4Address = ( int(ipaddress.ip_address('<IP_ADDRESS>')) )
Next hop interface name
path.NexthopInterface.Name = 'GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0'
Add the path to the list
paths.append(path)
Let's create another path as equal cost multi-path (ECMP)
path = sl_route_common_pb2.SLRoutePath() path.NexthopAddress.V4Address = ( int(ipaddress.ip_address('<IP_ADDRESS>')) ) path.NexthopInterface.Name = 'GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0' paths.append(path)
Add the paths to the route object. In the example quickstart.py tutorial, we add a line checking that the operation is not a delete operation, as we would not need to add paths for a delete.
if oper != sl_common_types_pb2.SL_OBJOP_DELETE: route.PathList.extend(paths)
Add the route to route_list
(bulk routes)
routeList.append(route)
Assign the routeList
to the rtMsg
.
rtMsg.Routes.extend(routeList)
Make the RPC call.
Timeout = 10 # Seconds rtMsg.Oper = oper # Desired ADD, UPDATE, DELETE operation response = stub.SLRoutev4Op(rtMsg, Timeout)
Again, in the quickstart.py tutorial we have examples of other route calls beyond just adding bulk routes.
# RPC route operations # for add: sl_common_types_pb2.SL_OBJOP_ADD # for update: sl_common_types_pb2.SL_OBJOP_UPDATE # for delete: sl_common_types_pb2.SL_OBJOP_DELETE route_operation(channel, sl_common_types_pb2.SL_OBJOP_ADD)
These calls show examples of bulk additions, updates, and deletes
Check the server's response. Here again we can check each individual route that was added for an error message.
if (sl_common_types_pb2.SLErrorStatus.SL_SUCCESS == response.StatusSummary.Status): print "Route %s Success!" %( sl_common_types_pb2.SLObjectOp.keys()[oper]) else: print "Error code for route %s is 0x%x" % ( sl_common_types_pb2.SLObjectOp.keys()[oper], response.StatusSummary.Status ) # If we have partial failures within the batch, let's print them if (response.StatusSummary.Status == sl_common_types_pb2.SLErrorStatus.SL_SOME_ERR): for result in response.Results: print "Error code for %s/%d is 0x%x" %( str(ipaddress.ip_address(result.Prefix)), result.PrefixLen, result.ErrStatus.Status )
That's all for now! Remember some key takeaways:


--- layout: archive title: Zulip Chat Archive permalink: /stream/116395-maths/topic/finitely.20generated.20(sub)module.html ---
It's a little weird that fg
is defined for a submodule and not just a module. It's sort of like compact subset vs compact space--a finitely generated submodule is just a submodule which is finitely generated as a module.
Is this worth changing or possibly having both versions?

Eurucamp 2014
October 28, 2015
eurucamp 2014 was the conference, where I spoke for the first time. It gave me a great opportunity to speak in front of a crowd of like minded geeks. The Ruby community out there at Berlin is awesome. They sponsored the whole trip as I was a student. I was the only one from India as a speaker over there. I was the youngest speaker as well. It was my first time visit ever to a city which is out of our country.
The talk was on “Web Controlled Automation”, where I talked about Internet of Things using Ruby and how I ended up buiding a robot car that can be controlled from a web app from anywhere around the world using any network for the internet.
Applications of this technology include “Home and Industrial Automation”, “Security Systems”, “Automation at Hospitals and Traffic” etc.
The video of my talk is here.


Model
Models are like thought experiments, but with code. Something in between a white paper and a working implementation. This is great if you want to test an idea before building it, or want to test variations on an idea to see which might be best.
When creating a model, the point is to help you explore an idea, but also to help others do the same. As such it needs to be legible. The assumptions the model depends on as well as the things the model is specifically exploring should be made explicit. This way it's easier to A/B test the model assumptions and parameters.
There are many tools to create models. MatLab is popular, but expensive. cadCAD is newer, and open source. There's also stand alone frameworks like tokenSPICE that begin to incorporate EVM testnets into modeling and cadCAD services like BlockScience Labs that make it easier to automatically run models based on real world data. What's best for you will be dependent on the context in which you're operating. Regardless of what tools you choose, the model should be easy to read and run. That way people can engage with and contribute to your work.
Concepts
Legibility
A model is a living document. It conveys information, but you can also modify and interact with it to learn new information. The results of running a model are only a small part of it's value. Most of the value comes from people's ability to explore and modify the parameters and assumptions within the model to better understand something. This requires your model to be legible. Check out the [insert python/cadCAD code syntax and best practices guide here]
to see some examples.
- Is your model structured so that it's easy to interact with?
- Could people easily modify it to test your assumptions and their own?
Assumptions
Models make assumptions about the world in order to focus on the thing that is being modeled. The model is a representation of a thing, not the thing itself. Just like with a map, it's important to specify what you included, what you left out, and why. It's also important to specify what you're assuming to be true and/or external states/environments that you assume the model is operating within.
- What does your model assume or require to be true?
- Are these assumptions stated explicitly?
Ergodicity
Visit all parts of the space that the system moves in, in a uniform and random sense. A sufficiently large collection of random samples from a process can represent the average statistical properties of the entire process. Then you understand the full range of the state space and what states are more likely with what parameters.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodicity
Specificity
Specificity is opposite of assumptions. It's what the model is exploring in detail.
- What question is the model exploring?
- What did you choose to be specific about in relation to this question?
- Is your model specific enough that it defines the problem and the potential solution?
A/B Testing
A/B testing allows you to test multiple variations of a thing. This is very important if you see how a proposed solution might behave under a wide range of assumptions. Be aware that A then B is not the same as testing A and B simultaneously. Statefulness and ordering is important. The later compares A and B against the same data and this is what we're talking about when we say A/B testing.
- Test the same idea under multiple contexts.
- Test multiple ideas within the same context.
Data generation
Models also allow you to generate new data. This can be useful if you want to test alternate scenarios and explore the state space more than what would be possible with historical data.
If your assumptions are made explicit then you can also test your model in different contexts. That way you can have a better idea of under what macro conditions your assumptions might hold.
Reflexivity
Reflexivity happens when multiple variables within the model feed into each other. This can create exponential amplification or suppression of metrics. This throws off wild data that makes it difficult to gain any understanding from the model. If there's any reflexivity involved make sure it's there for a very good reason and you understand exactly how it works.
- Are there any portions of your model that are self referential or that refer to each other in a loop?

It's time to save the princess! This time we head down Bowser's Road haha! There have been a couple of covers of this on youtube, I watched a piano version t...
@blackjok3r did you ever write out a spec for games?

oh well

its something comming but likely not something thqat aill appear over night... I think james knows hwo to do it... Im keen to start on it but I need to wrap up other jobs first.
very cool. Also curious about the story line you posted earlier today, if you are going to escape a shipwreck should you wash up on some shore initially?
part of the map design I would assume
TwilightPunkster K6411-Mar-19 02:43 AM
nah, let's not get over excited xD
probably bridge that story that you gathered what you could, because sand doesn't taste well, so you head inland

good idea, makes more sense.
how about elevation changes? any chance they would affect how far you can see?
@Regnar they could, but but there isn't much elevation change in this demo.
units have a line of sight, but there is a maximum zoom out level and the difficulty doesn't lie that much in scouting at the moment
However, a simple trick would just do give certain objects a blocking / absorbing collider that simply the raycast from the unit would render useless in order to block vision
map complete, Unity integration with Komodo works plus with my 6AM

haha wildlife to hunt. i watched an ultima online interview a cpl months ago about this aspect of their game when they started out.
the tl;dw; is they had to remove it cos players just went around killing wildlife, even though it had no effect on game scores
Decentraland Daily, News about the decentralised VR world. Follow us and enter in the heart of the metaverse !
ICO have heaps of regulation bs. correct.
might one day be considered scalping, plus heaps of fraud.
decentralized crowdfund, though - different story. can have blockchain enforced/validated early access or bonus-multiplier in different eras of the game. e.g.
support crowdfund with $5 ...
support crowdfund with $20, get 1.1 multiplier after block 50k, get 1.2 multiplier after block 250k.
support crowdund with $50 get 1.2 multiplier after block 50k, get 1.25 multiplier after block 250k + gift a $5 crowdfunder with multiplier 1.2 after block 250k
lots of crowdfund gift mulitplier possibiliites.
i'm just mucking around with city generation in javascript from something i found on codepen and playing around with a seed. will try to link up to an oracle this week for some dev docs.
!kmdtip @Regnar 5 city generator rabbit hole suggestion
