Project overview
A labour of love for Design Lab, our Global Assurance Learning (GAL) project management decision-making game was a steep learning curve for us all. Modelled like a ‘choose your own adventure’ with multiple options and character perspectives, this flash-based game with fully-mobile characters was a mix of everything in the pot: storyboarding, developing, animations, motion graphics, instructional design, game mechanics, character animation, compositing, multi-character scriptwriting, voice acting and video and sound mixing. The aim was to try something we’ve never done before – a companion game alongside a virtually instructor-led training session to make the learner’s journey more engaging and interactive. Because of its rich complexity, each member of our team was involved in lengthy sessions of functionality testing and bug fixing.
We had the opportunity to design and develop and one-of-a-kind digital Avatar game. This game was designed to influence effective decision making – learners were emerged into a ‘virtual scenario’ which would change dependent on the decisions they chose to make whilst playing the game. It would then inform how those decisions impacted project margins, client satisfaction and resource mix.
It was a great example of team collaboration and pushing the boundaries of innovation that we wanted to introduce to the Global Assurance practice. WL Instructional Designers put a great deal of effort into designing world-class learning really putting emphasis on ‘thinking’ rather than ‘doing’ and the Digital Designers worked hard on making sure that the key learning messages were relayed in an engaging, modern and fun way that played strongly to the profile of the target audience.

A helper class that encapsulates a document that is to be attached to a TRIM object.


TL;DR
Rule 1: When overriding
equals()
method for a value class in java, it is preferable to reject instances of sub-classes of this class. In other words, usegetClass()
instead ofinstanceof
for ensuring that the other object is of the correct type.
if(!this.getClass().equals(other.getClass()) return false;
instead of
if(!(other instanceof MyClass)) return false;
Rule 2: Exception to Rule 1: If it is likely that the object that will be passed around is an instance of a proxy of your class, then use
instanceof
.
Deep-dive
A lot has been written about equals()
in Java. For me the definitive source has been from “Effective Java 2nd Edition”. Item 8 says “Obey the general contract when overriding equals”.
However, as a programmer I do not need to remember the recipe provided by Joshua Bloch (well, most of the time). This is because IDEs offer options to auto-generate the equals()
(and a corresponding hashCode()
) methods for me. Mechanisms for creating value classes (like AutoValue or Kotlin’s data classes) go one step further by not even requiring you to maintain the equals() method in source code format.
That said, there are some gotchas to be aware of that crop up from time to time. The point relevant to this post is (I might be para-phrasing it)
It is not possible to extend an instantiable class and add a field without violating the contract of the equals method.
I encourage you to read Joshua Bloch’s explanation of this along with the excellent examples to understand what the contract is and why extending a class might break this contract. Once you understand this concept, Rule 1 is a logical conclusion. If you are comparing an instance of this class with an instance of a sub-class, you want to return false
.
However, this is not always feasible. There are cases where the value class is just a crutch for a framework to do its work. The value class that you define serves as the interface between you and the framework, while the framework generates sub-classes of your class to use as a proxy.
Example
That’s a lot of hand-waving! Let’s get to a concrete example, in this case the example which led me to write this blog post in the first place - Realm. Realm is an object database for Android. You declare your models as POJOs and you can then use Realm to persist/query them.
Here’s how you would define a User model in Realm:
public class User extends RealmObject {
public String name;
public int age;
// Rest of the class left out for brevity
}
Now, let’s see what happens when we use the strict interpretation of the equals()
method:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (o == null) return false;
if (!getClass().equals(o.getClass()) return false; //Strict type comparison
User other = (User)other;
if (age != other.age) return false;
return name.equals(other.name);
}
Now, assume you are writing a test to check whether a User
instance retrieved from Realm is what you expect it to be.
@Test
public void givenADatabase_whenRetrieveByName_thenReturnsCorrectUser() {
Realm realm = getRealm();
final User ACTUAL = getUser("Android");
final User EXPECTED = new User("Android", 9);
assertEquals(EXPECTED, ACTUAL);
}
You will find that this test fails, even though the instance returned from Realm has the correct name
and age
. Why is this so?
Proxy classes
This is because the object that Realm returns is an instance of UserRealmProxy
that extends your User
class. Even though the fields that matter for this comparison are the same, the if (!getClass().equals(o.getClass()) return false;
line leads our equals implementation to report that the instances are not equal.
The fix is of course to be more lenient in checking the types in equals(), with the trade-off that you potentially break the contract of equals()
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (o == null) return false;
if (!(o instanceof User)) return false; //lenient type comparison
User other = (User)other;
if (age != other.age) return false;
return name.equals(other.name);
}
Realm is just one example of where a proxy class is used. There is a host of libraries/frameworks that proxy your value classes under the covers. Although the intent is for you as a user of the framework to be largely unaware of the use of these proxies, the peculiar case of equals()
and sub-classes means that at times you need to be aware of these implementation details.
Aside: Order of Expected and Actual in tests
When I got started with unit testing, I often did not care about the order in which I passed the expected
and actual
in tests. I did not differentiate between assertEquals(expected, actual)
and assertEquals(actual, expected)
. The worst that could happen was that I would be slightly confused by the JUnit error message sometimes, but my tests that should pass would still pass, and those that should fail would still fail.
However, in the example above, you will notice that if you switch the positions of expected
and actual
, the result of the test will be different.
assertEquals(ACTUAL, EXPECTED);
This test fails. This is because the UserRealmProxy
class has extended User
and overridden equals()
in a way that breaks symmetry.
This is one of the reasons why the contract of equals
says that it should be symmetric, i.e., x.equals(y)
should return true
if and only if y.equals(x)
returns true
.
A survey of equals-generators
We will now survey existing tools that generate equals()
for you and see how they handle type-checks.
Eclipse
At the time of this writing, Eclipse Neon, in the wizard to “Generate hashCode() and equals()” has a checkbox “Use ‘instanceof’ to compare types”. If you check this checkbox that Eclipse generates a strict type comparison, else it generates the more lenient one.
IntelliJ IDEs
IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio and other similar IDEs have a checkbox “Accept subclasses as parameters to equals() method”. Checking this checkbox will generate the lenient type comparison, while the default (un-checking it) will generate the strict type comparison
Kotlin data classes
data class UserKt(var name: String, var age: Int)
This generates bytecode equivalent to the following Java code
public boolean equals(Object var1) {
if(this != var1) {
if(var1 instanceof UserKt) {
UserKt var2 = (UserKt)var1;
if(Intrinsics.areEqual(this.name, var2.name) && this.age == var2.age) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
As you can see, it generates an instanceof
check but this does not violate the contract of equals(). This is because in Kotlin (as of v1.1.0), data classes cannot be sub-classed.
Auto-Value
With this declaration using AutoValue
@AutoValue
public abstract class UserAV {
abstract String name();
abstract int age();
public static UserAV create(String name, int age) {
return new AutoValue_UserAV(name, age);
}
}
The generated code (snipped to show only relevant portions) is
final class AutoValue_UserAV extends UserAV {
private final String name;
private final int age;
// ...snip...
@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (o == this) {
return true;
}
if (o instanceof UserAV) {
UserAV that = (UserAV) o;
return (this.name.equals(that.name()))
&& (this.age == that.age());
}
return false;
}
}
The two points to observe:
- The generated
equals()
uses the lenientinstanceof
for type comparison - The generated class is declared
final
, hence it is guaranteed that there are no sub-classes which means the contract ofequals()
is not violated.
Conclusion
In a majority of the cases, tools that generate equals()
method are good enough. There is no reason to customize the code that they generate for you. However, there are cases where it is advantageous to be aware of what is going on under the hood.
For value classes, prefer to do a strict type comparison in the equals()
method, unless it is likely that the value class might be proxied.

One of the goals for Aurelia Table is for it to be easy to use. Because of this we start with the normal html table markup and then we build on top of it. This will allow you to easily customize your tables with CSS. For this examples we have chosen to use Bootstrap and Font Awesome but you can use whatever your heart desires.
Here is the code for the simplest table you can create:
| Name | Age | Address | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ${user.name} | ${user.age} | ${user.email} | ${user.address.street + ', ' + user.address.city} |
<template>

Name
Age
E-mail
Address

${open}user.name}
${open}user.age}
${open}user.email}
${open}user.address.street + ', ' + user.address.city}

</template>
import {HttpClient} from "aurelia-fetch-client";
export class Example {
users = [];
bind(){
let client = new HttpClient();
return client.fetch('data.json')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(users => this.users = users);
}
}
The aurelia-table
custom attribute takes in a list of bindable properties:
data
: You need to bind this to the array in your view-model that holds the original data for your table. Aurelia
Table will observe this array for changes, so you can load your data asynchronously and the table will update itself when the
data becomes available.
display-data
: Aurelia Table will make a copy of the array provided in the data
property and will set
into this property. The property you are binding here doesn't need to be declared or initialized in your view-model, just make
sure you provide a unique property name that is not used anywhere else outside the table.
repeat.for="user of $displayData"
. You want to repeat over whatever property
you used for the display-data
property; in this case it was $displayData
.
All right, this is the simplest table you can create, but right now Aurelia Table is effectively doing nothing. Keep reading to discover how easy it is to add functionality with plugins.


I have taken 4-AcO-DET twice now. Both times were quite a contrasting experience. The first time I decided to ingest a 7.5 mg dose to get a feeling for the substance, the second time I decided to jump up to 15 mg.
The feeling experience is one a exuberance and grandeur. I find to be almost sexual in nature.
The day was beautiful, it was spring and my emotions were high. It had been a week since the world trade center collapse. I was torn between my saddness to those who lost their lives and the anger towards the American idealogy that I felt deserved to be bruised. Even now, after the new year this feeling permeates me, I have found it hard to make sense of the conflicting emotions.
I meditated early in the morning and felt quite centered and comfortable. At this low dose I decided I would be comfortable riding my bike down a nearby trail. The trail has many emotional attachments associated with it. I have ridden down the trail many times and have ridden down it a few times in altered state of conciousness.
I ingested my 7.5 mg capsule at approximately 10:30 and rode my bike on a semi full stomach. The scenery was gorgeous, as yet untainted through altered perception.
I reached a lovely secluded spot. The sky was blue and I sat beside my bike beneath the shade of a willow tree. Before me there was a creek. I walked towards it and admired the simplicity of the scene. Calm and peace seered into my soul, and I just lay there for approximately an hour. After that I felt very little effect and decied it was time to ride home, it was a dud, but the day was still wonderful.
However upon returning home I found the effects only to appear as I entered my room. I jumped on to my studio and began fiddling with my sound equipment. A pure raw sexual energy was pulsating within my heart and my groin. I felt so empowered, so sexually healthy and alive. I played my music and felt pleasure melt over me. I stopped with the equipment and put on an old CD I always liked listening to in this mood. I sat down and closed my eyes. I had never seen such wonderful visuals in my life before. I looked out into the vast expanse of my visual conciousness. Before me appeared perfect geometric object reminding me of aztec architecture. I sat there for some time simple enjoying the experience. There was little insightful content, it was more of a time to relax and be free. I felt comfortable being alone, as I usually do. I had no urge to call others, I felt at peace.
The effects decreased and I found myself in a warm fuzzy place. I rode my bike to a good friends home and we talked and watched TV. I felt comfortable for a while aftewards.
The second dose was 15 mg. I felt the experience was self satisfying and inappropriate, needless to say this set and setting turned the experience into nothing special, leaving me with a headache and a jaded look at other who where consuming other substances in large quantities. I did however have an extremely clear capability to converse and had an interesting experience as my sense of self melted into the soup of a capsule ready to enter hyperspace, however the capsule never took off, and the soup turned into a spoon. I opened my eyes and world returned. Like last time I felt extremely at ease for a while, however this experience tapered off with a subtle sense of fear and anxiety. I also wonder deeply if this substance has an neuro-toxic properties.
4-AcO-DET is a wonderful ally. Unfortunatly it needs to be stored in a freezer with little contact with air, otherwise it oxidises into a black powder, which I am afraid would most probably be quite inactive.

Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash of cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 2-1/2 scant cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2-1/2 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Stir the lemon juice into the milk and let stand at least five minutes. Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
Beat the eggs into the milk mixture, then stir into the bowl of dry ingredients along with the melted butter. Whisk to combine. Add a little flour if the consistency is wrong. Heat a griddle and melt some butter or coconut oil on it. Drop 1/3-cup sized dollops of batter onto the griddle and cook until each side is finished (flip when you see bubbles).

Web Applications have changed over the years from being a simple static page to complex single page
application (SPA).
With the increase of complexity, the problems to solve are much harder too. If you get some random
weirdness in you SPA, you can easily bug-hunt for days.
Luckily, there are two projects out there that aim at simplification
- Redux - a brilliant architecture which simplifies state maintenance
- Polymer - a back-to-nature approach that puts elements back at the center of the universe
- Component model (custom element)
- Concept of data flow (attributes/properties and events)
- declarative syntax (HTML)
Demo site
For the purpose of this exercise I've written a Stock ticker application. As you can see in the demo you can search for ticker symbols. Here are some symbols to get you started
- polymer - random generated data
- Apple - aapl
- Google - goog
- Facebook - fb
- Shell - rdsa.as
NOTE: If the demo doesn't work, make sure you're using an up2date browser, like Chrome Canary!!
Single source of truth
In Polymer everything is an element, for example, an
AJAX call can be expressed in HTML.
There is an element for everything.
So, in the main component of the demo app
(stock-app.html)
I connect the reducers with the store
<app-store id="store" state="{{state}}" reducer="[[reducer]]"></app-store>I pass the reducers to the store and bind the state (child-to-host)
{{state}}. From there on I pass state properties to child elements by one-way data-binding only.
<app-header hits="[[state.page.hit]]"> ... </app-header>
Actions
Through attributes components receive parts of the state. In order to change the state each component includes the store and can dispatches actions
<app-store id="store"></app-store> ... this.$.store.dispatch('CHANGE_QUERYSTRING', {queryString: this.queryString});However, everytime you include the store a new instance is created. So I've turned the app-store.html into a singleton.
Reducers
Reducers are pure function (wrapped in an element of course). They don't change the state
object, but return a complete new state object
class QuoteReducer { transform(state, action, input) { switch (action) { case 'QUOTE_CHANGE': return Object.assign({}, state, {quote: input.quote}); default: return state; } } }I've tried to simplify the reducers even more by using Immutable.js, but that didn't work very well, because it breaks Polymer's data-binding.
So finally, when the reducers are ready, the store updates its state and Polymer makes sure that the changes flow (from top to bottom) through the application.
Conclusion
It turns out that these two great project work very well together. Unfortunately at the moment you need to do some additional work to create a Singleton and you cannot use Immutable.js.


This seemingly straightforward order forms the words that are ringing in the ears of Booker DeWitt as he arrives at the gates of the floating city of Columbia. From the outset of BioShock Infiniteit’s clear that Elizabeth is important from a narrative perspective. Elizabeth is what drives DeWitt to seek out the city in the sky and it’s apparent that she’s valuable enough to the right people that they are willing to forgive DeWitt’s prior transgressions if he can deliver her to them.
Long before DeWitt pinpoints Elizabeth’s whereabouts he is exposed to depictions of her as the “Lamb of Columbia.” He encounters repeated warnings that Columbia will do all it can to protect her against those that might try to steal her away. Elizabeth is a young woman who is held up as both a talisman and a guiding light for Columbia and her people. However, when DeWitt tracks her down to Monument Island,it seems that Elizabeth is not just the pride of Columbia, but also its prisoner.
Locked away in a tower, Elizabeth has access to an extensive library and comfortable living quarters. There is, however, a darker backdrop to her plush surroundings: DeWitt uncovers evidence that Elizabeth is being observed without her knowledge. It becomes quickly apparent that Elizabeth has powers beyond the understanding of either DeWitt or even of those that are studying her.
It’s these powers that complement DeWitt’s as the pair seek to escape the city of Columbia. Elizabeth’s ability to manipulate tears in the fabric of space and time facilitates tactical and spectacular combat options, as well as fuelling the mystery of her origins and purpose. Elizabeth is also capable of picking locks, foraging for resources and applying her keen intellect to the puzzles at the heart of Columbia.
These abilities, along with her complex personality and child-like curiosity, combine to make her the most intricately designed and brilliantly realised AI companion ever seen in a video game. More than artificial intelligence, though, Elizabeth is Columbia’s driving force and its biggest contradiction; its beacon of hope and its darkest secret.
Elizabeth’s preoccupation with Paris, France, and natural predisposition toward living things is beginning to manifest itself more readily in her behaviour. While my team and I respect your wishes that Elizabeth not be made aware of our monitoring of her, I request that we be allowed to carry out one-to-one interviews for the purpose of psychological evaluation.
“Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt.”
Such a straightforward order, but if the BioShock franchise has taught us anything it’s that even the simplest of concepts can hide myriad meanings.

Google Summer of Code - 2014¶
Introduction¶
Kivy is a cross-platform, business friendly, GPU Accelerated open source Python library for rapid development of applications that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.
We are hoping to participate in Google Summer of Code 2014 under PSF. This page showcases some ideas for gsoc projects and corresponding guidelines for students contributing to the Kivy Framework.
Requirements¶
It is assumed that the incoming student meets some basic requirements as highlighted here:
- Intermediate level familiarity with python
- Comfortable with git and github (Kivy and its sister projects are all managed on github)
- Comfortable with event driven programming.
- Has suitable tools/environment for kivy or the sister project you are going to work on. For example to be able to work on pyobjus you would need access to an iOS device, mac with xcode and a developer license, to work on pyjnius you would need an android device, and to work on plyer you would need access to hardware for both platforms.
Additional desired skills may be listed with specific projects.
Familiarize yourself with the contributing guide http://kivy.org/docs/contribute.html We can help you get up to speed, however students demonstrating ability in advance will be given preference.
How to get setup¶
For Kivy Easiest way is to follow the installation instructions for the development version for your specific platform
http://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation.html#development-version
For the rest it’s usually sufficient to install the relevant project from git and add it to your PYTHONPATH.
eg.. for pyjnius:
git clone http://github.com/kivy/pyjnius
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/pyjnius:$PYTHONPATH
Project Ideas¶
The mentors list is only of potential mentors for a particular project and not final.
Enhancements to Kivy¶
Inspector:
- Description:
- Redo or improve the inspector module to include the following features:
- Use Python introspection to enhance current state of inspector.
- Extend Inspectors debugging capabilities to the whole app.
- Introduce automatic crash reporting.
- Possibly launch debugger automatically when Kivy app crashes.
- Reference:
- Expected Outcome:
- A fully functional Inspector module that facilitates debugging at any stage, including crash reports and a debugging console.
- Mentors: Akshay Arora, Gabriel Pettier
- Task level: Intermediate
Graphics Pipeline Enhancements:
- Description:
- We have a lot of ideas around the graphics pipeline:
- Merging instructions
- VBOs to reduce GL calls
- Helpers to create shaders dynamically according to the current vertex format
- Improving 3D support.
- Add Bounding-Box calculation / selection on the tree only if requested
- Unit tests to quantify the amount of improvements achieved.
- Reference:
- Expected Outcome:
- Significant improvement in the graphics pipeline that can be quantified by tests.
- Mentors: Jacob Kovac, Mathieu Virbel
- Task level: Intermediate/Advanced
- Desired Skills: Familiarity with OpenGL ES and Cython, desire to learn about advanced rendering algorithms and solve difficult puzzles.
Embedded Support:
- Description:
- Add full support for major embedded platforms like Beagle Board and Raspberry Pi. Kivy already has partial support for RPi. It would be great to have support for other major embedded platforms.
- This would involve:
- Native Keyboard Provider.
- Window provider for Beagle board using hooks to the driver for hardware acceleration inspiration can be taken from the rpi window provider https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/master/kivy/core/window/window_egl_rpi.py.
- Ensuring at least one of the backends for each of the core providers work on the embedded hardware with acceptable performance. Namely: Text, Window, Audio, Video, Keyboard, Clipboard, and Image Providers
- Reference:
- Expected Outcome:
- Full Working support for the embedded platforms. This would include support for at least one of the backends for each core providers mentioned above to achieve feature parity with other platforms.
- Mentors: Gabriel Pettier, Mathieu Virbel
- Requirements: Access to specific embedded hardware.
- Task level: Intermediate/Advanced
- Desired Skills: Familiarity with programming on the specific embedded hardware.
Enhancements to Mobile Platforms¶
Plyer:
- Description:
Plyer is a platform-independent api to use features commonly found on various platforms, especially mobile ones, in Python. The idea is to provide a stable API to the user for accessing features of their desktop or mobile device.
The student would work on facades and implementation for Accelerometer, GPS, SMS, Contact etc., including porting facades from SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android) to Plyer for easy integration and compatibility.
Under the hood you’ll use PyJNIus and PyOBJus. This probably would also include improving PyObjus and PyJnius to handle interfaces that they can’t right now.
- References:
- Expected Outcome:
- Platform independent api for accessing most platform specific features.
- Mentors: Gabriel Pettier, Akshay Arora, Alexander Taylor, Ben Rousch.
- Requirements: Access to Linux, Windows, OS X, iOS device, Android device.
- Task level: Intermediate/Advanced.
- Desired Skills: Familiarity with Pyjnius, PyObjus.
Enhancements to Toolchain¶
Python-for-iOS:
- Description:
- An iOS interface for building a app for the app store based on the idea of Python for Android, https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android
- Current state:
- Kivy iOS achieves this but in a more restricted monolith manner. We’d like to replace it with a more modular tool that is more extensible.
- References:
- Expected Outcome:
- A new, modular and extendable toolchain.
- Mentors: Thomas Hansen, Mathieu Virbel
- Requirements: Access to iOS, Android device along with a developer license.
- Task level: Intermediate/Advanced
- Desired Skills: Familiarity with xcode, objc. Cross-platform compilation skills are heavily required.
Buildozer:
- Description:
Buildozer is a Python tool for creating application packages easily. The goal is to have one “buildozer.spec” file in your app directory, describing your application requirements and settings such as title, icon, included modules etc. Buildozer will use that spec to create a package for Android, iOS, Windows, OS X and/or Linux.
Buildozer currently supports packaging for Android via the python-for-android project, and for iOS via the kivy-ios project. This project would involve extending this support to other package formats and operating systems, e.g. RPM, DEB, DMG, EXE. You will need to write new buildozer target code to support these formats.
This project would also involve optimizations to the final package formats, e.g. introspect the python files, extract all the symbols (global variables / functions / class / class methods), mark all the necessary symbols (whitelist) and generate a stripped version of all the python files without the unnecessary symbols.
- References:
- Expected Outcome:
- Running buildoer deb debug or buildozer deb release should result in a .deb package that can be directly be used to install on the target machine, or the equivalent for other package and binary formats.
- Mentors: Gabriel Pettier, Akshay Arora, Alexander Taylor, Ben Rousch
- Requirements: Access to linux, Windows, OS X, iOS, Android.
- Task level: Intermediate
SDL2 Backends:
- Description:
SDL2 backend providers for Kivy, including porting the mobile toolchains to SDL2. Part of the work is already done. What left is mostly
- Hashing out distribution mechanisms for the lib.
- Porting mobile backends for ios and android to SDL2. Partial work on this has already been going on.
- Unit tests for the new sdl2 backends making sure apps work the same on SDL2 as on other backends.
- Performace testing. Looking at the difference between SDL2 and other providers to ascertain wether sdl2 could be used as the default provider giving it priority
- References:
- https://github.com/kivy/kivy/tree/sdl2-support
- Expected Outcome:
- Completing the existing and adding new SDL2 core providers and support for using sdl2 on mobiles.
- Mentors: Akshay Arora, Jacob Kovac, Mathieu Virbel
- Requirements: Access to Linux, Windows, OS X, iOS, Android.
- Task level: Intermediate/Advanced
Anything Else ?¶
- Let your imagination run wild, and show what Kivy is capable of!
How to Contact devs¶
Ask your questions on the Kivy users forums http://kivy.org/#forum
Or send a mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Make sure to Join kivy-dev user group too @ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kivy-dev
You can also try to contact us on IRC (online chat), To get the irc handles of the devs mentioned above visit http://kivy.org/#aboutus
but make sure to read the IRC rules before connecting. http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=kvuser_GSOC_.&channels=kivy&uio=d4
How to be a good student¶
If you want to participate as a student and want to maximize your chances of being accepted, start talking to us today and try fixing some smaller problems to get used to our workflow. If we know you can work well with us, that’d be a big plus.
Here’s a checklist:
- Make sure to read through the website and at least skim the documentation.
- Look at the source code.
- Read our contribution guidelines.
- Pick an idea that you think is interesting from the ideas list or come up with your own idea.
- Do some research yourself. GSoC is not about us teaching you something and you getting paid for that. It is about you trying to achieve agreed upon goals by yourself with our support. The main driving force in this should be, obviously, yourself. Many students pop up and ask what they should do. Well, we don’t know because we know neither your interests nor your skills. Show us you’re serious about it and take the initiative.
- Write a draft proposal about what you want to do. Include what you understand the current state is (very roughly), what you would like to improve, how, etc.
- Discuss that proposal with us in a timely manner. Get feedback.
- Be patient! Especially on IRC. We will try to get to you if we’re available. If not, send an email and just wait. Most questions are already answered in the docs or somewhere else and can be found with some research. If your questions don’t reflect that you’ve actually thought through what you’re asking, it might not be well received.

Our group is currently enrolled in a module called Computational Thinking and Modelling, and we have decided to embark on developing a computational model to help residents staying in Cinnamon College in USP to see the consequences of delaying their evacuation time and get them to be more aware of the different factors affecting fire evacuation in a more engaging way.
We have created this website, otherwise known as an active essay, to allow residents to explore the model in a fun way through tutorials as well as games! We hope you are patient with the loading of the models, and hope you enjoy your time exploring!


--- layout: page title: About Me description: This is what I do. background: '/img/bg-about.jpg' ---
I’m an amateur film reviewer who made this website out of pure boredom. I have no experience in film school at all and do not claim that my criticism about any movie is valid in the slightest. This website simply serves as a place where I voice my opinions about movies from an everyday filmgoer point of view and where I have the opportunity to recommend some films which I believe deserve to be appreciated.


Hi! I am a self taught developer currently working as an Integration Consultant for Workday. I work on customer deployments large and small, implementing our Human Capital Management product among others. Originally a Political Science major in my undergrad years, I discovered a love for coding while taking a couple java elective courses. Wanting to speed up my learning, I began freelancing building websites before heading off to learn web development at Le Wagon in Berlin in the summer of 2018. I currently work with a variety of technologies including XSLT and Workday Studio to build integrations for customers within a vast variety of requirements.
Career
Beginning working for Workday in the Summer of 2019 as an Associate IC, I quickly became certified in Workday HCM, Integration Core, Studio, Payroll Interface. Over the course of the year I worked on deployments for 8+ different customers, on integrations ranging from custom studio integrations to a college transcript report design. In the fall of 2020 I was promoted to Senior Associate IC as the team approached several customer go-lives at the end of the year.

| PERLPODSTYLE(1) | Perl Programmers Reference Guide | PERLPODSTYLE(1) |
The name of the program being documented is conventionally written in bold (using B<>) wherever it occurs, as are all program options. Arguments should be written in italics (I<>). Function names are traditionally written in italics; if you write a function as function(), Pod::Man will take care of this for you. Literal code or commands should be in C<>. References to other man pages should be in the form "manpage(section)" or "L<manpage(section)>", and Pod::Man will automatically format those appropriately. The second form, with L<>, is used to request that a POD formatter make a link to the man page if possible. As an exception, one normally omits the section when referring to module documentation since it's not clear what section module documentation will be in; use "L<Module::Name>" for module references instead.
References to other programs or functions are normally in the form of man page references so that cross-referencing tools can provide the user with links and the like. It's possible to overdo this, though, so be careful not to clutter your documentation with too much markup. References to other programs that are not given as man page references should be enclosed in B<>.
The major headers should be set out using a "=head1" directive, and are historically written in the rather startling ALL UPPER CASE format; this is not mandatory, but it's strongly recommended so that sections have consistent naming across different software packages. Minor headers may be included using "=head2", and are typically in mixed case.
The standard sections of a manual page are:
foo, bar - programs to do something
Manual page indexers are often extremely picky about the format of this section, so don't put anything in it except this line. Every program or function documented by this POD page should be listed, separated by a comma and a space. For a Perl module, just give the module name. A single dash, and only a single dash, should separate the list of programs or functions from the description. Do not use any markup such as C<> or B<> anywhere in this line. Functions should not be qualified with "()" or the like. The description should ideally fit on a single line, even if a man program replaces the dash with a few tabs.
=head2 Normal Usage =head2 Advanced Features =head2 Writing Configuration Files
or whatever is appropriate for your documentation.
For a module, this is generally where the documentation of the interfaces provided by the module goes, usually in the form of a list with an "=item" for each interface. Depending on how many interfaces there are, you may want to put that documentation in separate METHODS, FUNCTIONS, CLASS METHODS, or INSTANCE METHODS sections instead and save the DESCRIPTION section for an overview.
=item B<--section>=I<manext>
Synonymous options (like both the short and long forms) are separated by a comma and a space on the same "=item" line, or optionally listed as their own item with a reference to the canonical name. For example, since --section can also be written as -s, the above would be:
=item B<-s> I<manext>, B<--section>=I<manext>
Writing the short option first is recommended because it's easier to read. The long option is long enough to draw the eye to it anyway and the short option can otherwise get lost in visual noise.
If applicable, please include details on what the user should do to correct the error; documenting an error as indicating "the input buffer is too small" without telling the user how to increase the size of the input buffer (or at least telling them that it isn't possible) aren't very useful.
Don't just present an example without explaining what it does. Adding a short paragraph saying what the example will do can increase the value of the example immensely.
=over 6 =item HOME Used to determine the user's home directory. F<.foorc> in this directory is read for configuration details, if it exists. =back
Since environment variables are normally in all uppercase, no additional special formatting is generally needed; they're glaring enough as it is.
Copyright YEAR(s) YOUR NAME(s)
(No, (C) is not needed. No, "all rights reserved" is not needed.)
For licensing the easiest way is to use the same licensing as Perl itself:
This library is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
This makes it easy for people to use your module with Perl. Note that this licensing example is neither an endorsement or a requirement, you are of course free to choose any licensing.
If the package has a mailing list, include a URL or subscription instructions here.
If the package has a web site, include a URL here.
Documentation of object-oriented libraries or modules may want to use CONSTRUCTORS and METHODS sections, or CLASS METHODS and INSTANCE METHODS sections, for detailed documentation of the parts of the library and save the DESCRIPTION section for an overview. Large modules with a function interface may want to use FUNCTIONS for similar reasons. Some people use OVERVIEW to summarize the description if it's quite long.
Section ordering varies, although NAME must always be the first section (you'll break some man page systems otherwise), and NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, and OPTIONS generally always occur first and in that order if present. In general, SEE ALSO, AUTHOR, and similar material should be left for last. Some systems also move WARNINGS and NOTES to last. The order given above should be reasonable for most purposes.
Some systems use CONFORMING TO to note conformance to relevant standards and MT-LEVEL to note safeness for use in threaded programs or signal handlers. These headings are primarily useful when documenting parts of a C library.
Finally, as a general note, try not to use an excessive amount of markup. As documented here and in Pod::Man, you can safely leave Perl variables, function names, man page references, and the like unadorned by markup and the POD translators will figure it out for you. This makes it much easier to later edit the documentation. Note that many existing translators will do the wrong thing with e-mail addresses when wrapped in L<>, so don't do that.

The official Garlium light weight client for Garlicoin
Garlium is a lightweight desktop wallet for Garlicoin, based on Electrum. By deterministically generating your wallet keys, you can save your wallet by writing a simple 12-word phrase down. You can load your wallet at any time by simply typing the 12-word phrase back in, on any computer, anywhere.
Garlium was originally ported from Electrum-LTC by Ske, we thank him for his hard work on this.

. This will provide you with your address's private key. See above (regarding paper wallets) for instructions on how to import that private key into Garlium.
If you have a large amount of small incoming transactions in your wallet (eg. from pool mining), your money is split among lots of UTXOs (or unspent transaction outputs). Each UTXO takes up some space in the new transaction, and as such your transaction will become very large. Larger transactions mean larger fees, and at some point the network will downright refuse to process your transaction. It's like paying with a thousand pennies instead of a $10 bill.
To fix this issue, you can either hand-pick UTXOs to send, so you can control how many you use, or send a bunch of UTXOs to yourself, essentially "merging" them into a single UTXO.
You can do this by going to View -> Show Coins. Every "coin" you see there is a UTXO. Select as many as you need to send (don't select more than about 250, though), right click, and press "Spend". Now, select how much you want to spend, and send your money either to yourself (to "merge" UTXOs), or to someone else (they'll receive them as a normal transaction).
PS: Deleting %AppData%/Garlium/blockchain_headers and restarting solves a lot of problems. If your issue isn't listed here, perhaps try that?

Problem
Given two strings x and y, What is the cheapest possible way to convert x into y where following operations are allowed to perform –
- Substitute a character c of x with c’.
- Insert a character in x.
- Delete a character from x.
Each of these operations may have a cost associated with them. For example we may have a 26*26 matrix which can have a cost of substituting one character with another character. In a similar manner we may have a 26*2 matrix which can have cost of inserting and deleting a character.
For the sake of simplicity we would consider the cost associated with all the operations to be one. However one can easily implement the more general case with just small tweaks in the code presented here.
Link to problem on SPOJ - Edit Distance
.
Motivation
Before delving right into the problem let’s see some practical application of edit distance problem –
- In phone book whenever we search for a contact with name then it suggests a list of possible contacts. This is done by calculating the minimum cost of the entered string with all the contacts present in phone book and the ones having lowest minimum cost are presented to user ( Beginners often think of using trie for solving this problem but that is wrong !!! ).
- In DNA the mutation of C -> G is more likely than the mutation of C -> A. So we give the mutation of C -> G low-cost and mutation of C -> A high-cost. Then we calculate the minimum cost to transform one DNA strand to other using edit distance. This gives us an idea how much the two DNA strands are related evolutionarily.
- Apart from the above two the most common application of edit distance is in spelling correction where we calculate the minimum number of edits with respect to all the valid dictionary words and the ones with the least number of edits are suggested to user.
Now let’s see the implementation details.
Problem Analysis
Let’s first figure out the sub problem for this problem.
Sub Problem
Suppose we have a suffix string of string x starting from index i denoted by x[i:] and suffix string of string y starting from index j denoted by y[j:]. Then –
We will compare the characters x[i] and y[j] if both the character are same then answer for this sub problem will be same as answer for sub problem with suffixes x[i + 1:] and y[j + 1:].
Else we will perform these three operations –
- Insert the character y[j] into the string x and then cost will be cost of insertion plus the cost to solve the sub problem with suffixes x[i:] and y[j + 1:].
- Delete x[i] from string x and then cost will be cost of deletion plus the cost to solve the sub problem with suffixes x[i + 1:] and y[j:].
- Substitute x[i] with y[j] and then cost will be cost of substitution plus the cost to solve the sub problem with suffixes x[i + 1:] and y[j + 1:].
The sub problem formulation will be more clear with this image –
Implementation
Now let’s see implementation detail of this problem.
Naive Implementation
In naive implementation we will recursively solve each and every sub problem following the recurrence relation that we defined in the previous section.
Code
The code for naive implementation is pretty straight forward.
Complexity
In this naive approach we are solving 3 sub problems for each sub problem irrespective of the fact that we have solved that sub problem previously. So in the worst case we may end up doing O(3^n) operations which is exponential complexity. This worst case occurs when there is no matching character in both the strings. So from here we get an idea that if we save results of each computation then we may end up with a more efficient solution. This is exactly what the dynamic programming solution does.
Dynamic Programming Implementation
The recursive dynamic programming implementation of this problem is almost similar to the naive solution, all we have to do is to memoize the result of each sub problem solved before returning it and we are done.
Let’s talk about iterative implementation. In iterative version we will first create a dp matrix of size (|x| + 1)*(|y| + 1), Where |x| and |y| represents size of string x and y. Now each row will represent one character of string x and the last row will represent empty character. Similarly each column will represent one character of string y and the last character will represent empty character.At any point dp[i][j] will represent the minimum cost to transform the string suffix string of x starting from i into suffix string of y starting from j.
Now we will start iterating from last column of last row. If we are in last row then the cost will be cost of insertion (Because there is no character in x) and if we are in last column then the cost will be cost of deletion (Because there is no character in y). Otherwise we will find the cost according to the model that we formulated earlier.
The figure below shows how the iterative implementation will fill dp matrix for string FOOD & MONEY –
Code
Although the logic might seem difficult at first sight, but the code is pretty easy to understand.
Complexity
Total number of sub problems = (total number of suffixes of string x) * (total number of suffixes in string y)
Total number of suffixes in string x = |x| (Size of string x), Similarly for string y total number of suffixes = |y| (Size of string y)
So, total number of sub problems = |x|*|y|
Also the time required to solve one sub problem given we know solutions to rest other sub problem = O(1)
So, overall complexity = |x|*|y|*O(1) = O(|x|*|y|)
Further Reading
In this article we have discussed the suffix based sub problem implementation, the problem can also be solved via prefix based sub problem implementation. You may refer to this article for prefix based sub problem implementation.
Another problem that can be solved via slight modification to this problem is that of Longest Common Subsequence. For further reading on LCS refer this article.

Painting the Medium is modifying the presentation of a story in order to convey information about the story. A comic book might give a character special-looking Speech Bubbles that reflect on their personality. A TV show might change to black-and-white or sepia-tone during flashbacks. A video game might change its GUI to show a change in the player character or the setting.
By Painting the Medium, a creator turns a transparent tool—meant to show the work behind it—into a part of the work.
This is typically done for one of several reasons:
- To imply something about a character or scene without actually stating it. If done well, this will blend naturally into the rest of the work in a way the viewer or reader barely notices, and its meaning will be clear.
- To create an intentional jarringly Off-Model section of a work to demonstrate that something outside the norm is happening. An Eldritch Abomination may be drawn in a different art style to symbolize that it is an "intruder from another reality", for instance.
- To play with unusual methods of storytelling. This results in the more extreme examples and is wholly postmodern in application. Done well, it creates a sense of confused surreality; done badly, it can be pretentious and incomprehensible.
- Cheap laughs.
Some of the most popular variants have become so conventional that we stop noticing them completely—for example, dialogue written in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is shouted. Heck, even we do it (check the entries in Self-Demonstrating Article why not?)
See also Rule of Perception. Unless the characters themselves remark or interact with the audio or visual effects, then it can't be concluded they occur within the setting, so they must only be presented to the audience's side of the fourth wall. The characters who do remark on these tropes may be uncommonly Medium Aware, or they may know that their particular universe is governed by metafictional laws, in which case the 'paint' isn't just on the medium, it's integrated into the text.
Please note: This trope is not 'Character interacts with the pages of the book/panels of the comic/film camera/suitable alternative for their story'—that trope is Medium Awareness. This trope is 'The setup, layout or presentation of the book/comic/film/whatever is changed to reflect a change in the characters' situation'. Please don't put incorrect examples on pages they shouldn't be on, thank you. Splatter on the camera lens may be acceptable as a way of showing just how much rain/blood/liquid is flying around the scene at that point.

- At one point during the video of Bo Burnham's live show what., he starts to make an insulting joke about video editors, only to be suddenly cut off by a mysterious Jump Cut.
- In the vinyl album version of the Monty Python sketch The Piranha Brothers, the voice-over announcer for the skit is being menaced by one of Dinsdale's thugs, and told that the sketch has gone on too long. When he protests, the thug "scratches the record", ending the bit. We fade out to: "Aw! Sorry, squire! I've scratched the record —orry, squire! I've scratched the record! —" over and over. Infinitely, as this part ran on an actual loop on the LP.
- Cheech and Chong's self-titled first album features Tommy Chong attempting to put a vinyl record (supposedly the very one this skit is on) on the phonograph and failing miserably, the skit (and this side) ending in a fluster of wild record needle scratching.
- The first of Stan Freberg's Dragnet affectionate parodies, St. George and the Dragonet, opens with this disclaimer: "The legend you are about to hear is true. Only the needle should be changed to protect the record."
- In Robin Williams's Weapons of Self Destruction special, he tells a story about Dock Ellis's no-hitter game while on LSD. While he tells it, the camera blurs the screen and adds motion trails and other hazy effects.
- Here's a really meta one: the early Disney Winnie the Pooh shorts were played out as readings of the books, down to the animated characters being able to walk on the text, a hurried page-turning at one point to keep Pooh from flying out of the book, and so forth. Thus it played with the concept that it was a book, when in fact it wasn't. All this in a cartoon for children.
- At the end of The Thief and the Cobbler, the Thief comes out and takes the letters from the THE END title. Then he goes and takes the very film he is on out of the projector as it is rolling, rolls it up and runs off into the now blank screen. Gives new meaning to the term "scene stealer".
- In Disney's Brother Bear, when Kenai is transformed, the movie changes its aspect ratio to subtly tell the viewer that he's seeing through different eyes now.
- In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco-the-narrator freezes the frame and literally paints on the screen to bring the story back to himself. He then continues to interrupt the story so it focuses on himself. Later on in the story, Kuzco-the-character yells at Kuzco-the-narrator to stop talking and leave him alone. From then on, the movie is un-narrated.
- Ralph Bakshi's animated The Lord of the Rings also has blood splattering the camera during battles.
- In Tangled, Rapunzel literally paints the fourth wall.
- In one scene, Ratatouille uses splashes of color to convey the indescribable qualities of tastes that harmonize well, and the differences in taste perception by Rémy and his brother.
- In Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, Batman gets drugged by Catwoman to turn him evil. As his disposition gets harsher, his Hit Flash onomatopoeia shifts to words like "BLUDGEON" and "FRACTURE" to reflect the fact that he is delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown rather than merely subduing his foes as usual.
- Autotune was first used to correct errors in pitch. Many modern musicians use it to deliberately distort their voice so it's obvious that they're using Autotune, as well as for aesthetic effect, even when they're fully capable of singing themselves. Some people have expressed their distaste.
- The Dresden Dolls use some quirky, but meaningful, production techniques in the song "Coin-Operated Boy", which is about the superiority of vibrators to real boyfriends. The mix begins monophonic, but it abruptly widens to stereo during the line "I turn him on / And he comes to life". The performers imitate a Broken Record over the line "And I'll never be alone", signifying that this is the narrator's false repetition to herself. The end of the bridge features an intense rallentando to evoke the tapering end of an orgasm, a battery-powered device running out of juice, or more likely both.
- The music video for Kanye West's "Love Lockdown," if watched on a standard-definition TV or Youtube, is letterboxed. At about one minute in, a character in the video races towards the camera, then actually jumps out of the letterbox.
- Welcome To Heartbreak was mistaken by many people, on first viewing, for a video with graphics errors.
- "The TV Show"'s central conceit it that it's showing us a series of TV shows being viewed by two guys in a control booth. Then one falls asleep on a console, and elements from some of the shows start interacting with each other, the camera, and the producers. Hilarity Ensues.
- "Madvillain All Caps." It's an animated comic book—literally.
- The video for Justice's remix of Lenny Kravitz's "Let Love Rule" feature the end of a fictitious movie and its credits sequence. Early on, the lead character's sleeve gets caught on one line of the credits. At first, things are fun, but then the video deconstructs the idea of having a credits sequence be a physical part of the world.
- In Arnold Schoenberg's opera Moses und Aron, the composer illustrates the two lead characters' differences by a radical break with the basic convention of opera:
- The tongue-tied Moses, whose direct contact with the God of Israel has shown him the inadequacy of human words to describe Him, never sings a note. Instead, he speaks in ordinary non-musical prose throughout.
- By contrast, Moses' brother and spokesman—the plausible, tactful, crowd-pleasing Aaron—sings in a gorgeous tenor.
- The literary journal Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern is as much a vehicle for editor Dave Eggers to play with the magazine format as a collection of fiction. The format changes with each issue, from paperback to hardcover to a collection of smaller booklets containing individual stories. One of the more elaborate issues (#17) was published as a bundle of misdelivered mail, containing some stories in individual envelopes and some in the fictitious magazines that the fictitious intended recipient subscribed to. Sometimes stories take advantage of the flexibility of the format: "Heart Suit", in issue 16, was printed on a deck of oversized playing cards and readable in any shuffled order. On a smaller scale, Eggers will sometimes put long rambling asides in the copyright notice and other bits of paratext.
- In the book Color: A Natural History of the Palette, author Victoria Finley describes an ukiyo-e print (likely this one◊) that shows the famous kabuki actor Onoe Kikugoro V portraying a ghost. The brown spot on the ghost's head was once green malachite pigment; Finley theorizes that the artist deliberately used the corrosive mineral to illustrate the ghost's supernatural power and malevolence as it literally burned through the canvas.
- A humorous poem appearing in a 1924 edition of the Feather River Bulletin reads:
- Olde Wrestling, which started in 2013 and is set in The Roaring '20s, deliberately scratches up the film to make it look old.
- Several Self Demonstrating Articles:
- This site (and other wikis, for that matter) itself when it comes to links. Normal links show up in blue, discussion links or links to certain pages are in orange, and links to nonexistent articles are in red. Checking out the new edits gives even more colors.
- ADBOT SAYS HELLO.
- On many websites, including this wiki, some posters seem use spoiler tags for hiding words that should not be said, written, or seen for some superstitious reason, such as the Tetragrammaton, or the name of The Scottish Play, or less seriously, a potentially Flame War fueling forum post, as if the whiteness would make them partially unwritten.
- Many very old-timer tropers will be able to recount when the various YMMV tropes were helpfully highlighted with a solid red bullet. This was removed during one of the first revamps to the site, though this functionality still lives on, with tropes instead displaying their proper symbol next to them if not in their proper namespace.
- There are two main functions of the AC font: AI dialogue to show their synthesised voicebox, and giving proper gravitas to the words 'In SPACE!'.
- Universal Studios' The Incredible Hulk Coaster suddenly hurls the passengers forward during the climb up the first hill, right when the audio says the experiment they're listening to goes wrong. The engineer says this represents the sudden surge of uncontrollable power experienced by Bruce Banner upon turning into the Hulk.

This is a demo page for providing access to an experimental SPARQL endpoint for querying (parts of) the DEFC database.
A partial mapping from DEFC's internal database schema to CIDOC-CRM was done with Karma, and with -ontop-.
Therefore OpenRDF Workbench contains two repositories:
Choose the one you want to query.
Go to Explore > Saved Queries and execute examples of SPARQL queries. [go to -ontop- SPARQL queries] [go to Karma SPARQL queries]
If you want to write your own query go to Explore > Query.
Note Google Chrome is more likely to crash when executing the query so we suggest to use Mozilla Firefox for this.
