LLVM: llvmg++ tool
NAME
llvmg++
SYNOPSIS
llvmg++ [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
The llvmg++ command is the LLVM C++ front end. It is a modified
version of g++ that takes C++ programs and compiles them into LLVM bytecode or
assembly language, depending upon the options.
Unless the -S option is specified, llvmg++ will use the
gccas program to perform some optimizations
and create an LLVM bytecode file. Unless the -c option is specified,
llvmg++ will also use the gccld
program to perform further optimizations and link the resulting bytecode
file(s) with support libraries to create an executable program.
Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection,
llvmg++ has many of g++'s features and accepts most of g++'s options.
It handles a number of g++'s extensions to the C++ programming language.
Below you will find several commonly used options:
OPTIONS
- -S
Do not generate an LLVM bytecode file. Rather, compile the source file
into an LLVM assembly language file.
- -c
Do not generate a linked executable. Rather, compile the source file
into an LLVM bytecode file. This bytecode file can then be linked with
other bytecode files later on to generate a full LLVM executable.
- -o filename
Specify the output file to be filename.
- -I directory
Add a directory to the header file search path. This option can be
repeated.
- -L directory
Add directory to the library search path. This option can be
repeated.
- -lname
Link in the library libname.[bc | a | so]. This library should
be a bytecode library.
- -Wl,option
Pass option to the linker (usually gccld).
EXIT STATUS
If llvmg++ succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
SEE ALSO

The following report has been produced by Rachel Lee, Jaime King, Matt Ripia, & Yash Chaudhari
We have been asked to conduct a usability study of the AUT Student Timetable Generator application (STG) which has been developed by a group of AUT students.The purpose of the website is to help students at AUT choose what streams to take when they are enrolling in papers so they get a timetable that suits them.
Usability testing is an important aspect of software development as it uncovers issues that can be overlooked by developers. Even though a website or piece of software ‘works’ as in it is coded well, when a typical user gets their hands on it they may use it in a way that the developers never anticipated. By conducting regular user testing, software can be constructed to be intuitive for most users.
By conducting a usability study on the STG webapp we aim to uncover the usability flaws that the website currently has and provide suggestions and improvements for developers to create a better, more intuitive website.
Before we commence the study, we will research and investigate several techniques of conducting usability studies. Once we have chosen a method we will find the best way to gather data (through questions or metrics) that we can then analyse. The analysis of the data will uncover the usability flaws that we will then deliver back to the STG developers.


The file must be named 'environment.json' and located in the 'resources' directory of your installation.
SonarQube and Jenkins credentials must be customized in the generated file. You can use the following form to generate credentials to set in the file.
ProxyPass "/sonar" "{{sonarUrl}}" ProxyPassReverse "/sonar" "{{sonarUrl}}"

Meet Our Founder
When Pat's wife Flo was expecting their twins, she craved salmon and cookies all the time. Pat, who fancied himself a hero to his pregnant wife, created Salmon Cookies to satisfy her cravings.
Flo feasted on Salmon Cookies throughout her pregnancy, so Pat and Flo agreed that their children should be named Simon and Cookie to honor Pat's hard work during Flo's pregnancy. Although Flo's cravings subsided after giving birth, Pat decided he had an obligation to share his pregnancy cookies with the the scores of unsuspecting tourists who visit Seattle each year, and so began Pat's Salmon Cookies.
Pat and Flo have since become vocal advocates for limiting commercial fishing of the Chinook salmon, which is the staple food for the 3 orca pods that live in Puget Sound, attracting tourists in hordes into Pat's highly profitable stores.
Each year on the twins' birthday, each of the family makes an art piece that honors the family's connection to salmon. The piece shown here was Pat's masterpiece this year, and it hangs proudly on the family's refrigerator to remind them of who they are.


Lockdown lifted, Suspect Caught | Grad Cohort
Two days of lockdown in a building full of 551+31+ women - some of them truly inspirational and the rest on their path to be one. This was held in response to a threat to women in computing. These women were briefed about their incredible role as the harbinger of the new era of computing research. All the incidents listed in this report are truly personal anecdotes. No person or organization shall be held responsible. Pardon my language, I have been lately watching a lot of cop thrillers.
My experience at this year’s CRAW grad cohort was no less than a thriller; as with every passing session I rediscovered the purpose of my grad studies. As an early career woman with mostly industry experience and now diving into computing research, I had a lot of apprehensions about going against the grain with my research choices. If you are someone who is having one of those “I am not so sure” moments in your research, I say this article and the next grad cohort is for you.
Grad cohort is aimed to help graduate students in their early years achieve academic and career success. This year 551 students were sponsored to attend this event in San Diego. The 2 day cohort hosted 31 senior computing researchers and professionals to share their strategies and experiences for a successful career. Each time slot had 3 parallel sessions, catering to students in their first, second and third year separately. Here, I list a brief summary of the sessions I chose to attend. Feel free to contact me (@Shamya Karumbaiah) for the full presentation on all the sessions.
The day 1 began with a short alum panel discussion. It was a delight listening to Dr Bushra Anjum (Amazon) talk about her experiences with Impostor Syndrome. I could acknowledge the presence of my own inner critic and the possibility to tame it for my benefit. She also went on to explain how a PhD doesn’t shut the door to industry; but rather keeps the door to academia open. Saeideh Bakshi (Yahoo) spoke about those dark moments in everyone’s PhD and to come in terms with it, keeping a positive attitude.
A.J. Brush (Microsoft Research) and America Chambers (University of Puget Sound) facilitated the fun-filled networking session. It is easy to loathe networking if it is perceived as marketing; the key is to make it relational and not transactional. It is also important to realize that networking is not a substitute for quality work. Some easy tips on cultivating these productive relationships were presented and practiced.
YY Zhou (UCSD) and Nancy Amato (Texas A&M) presented their zigzag way to find a research topic and demonstrated how one will not be stuck with his/her PhD topic for the rest of life. Also, how spanning two fields is becoming increasingly popular. Moving from coursework to picking a topic is often a low point and it is natural. The best topics are those which intersect your talent, your interest and the social need; chasing hot topics is not always a solution. Many useful tips were listed in the presentation along with the list of 10 places to search for a research topic. This was complemented with the presentation by Rebecca Wright (Rutgers University) which neatly listed tips to find and develop an effective working relationship with your advisor/mentor.
It was a delight listening to the Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Jim Kurose talk about the future of computing. He presented on National Science Foundation (NSF) and elaborated on the computing frontiers. I was especially fascinated hearing about the efforts on ‘CS for all’ - aimed at providing high quality CS education for K to 12. He emphasized the importance of building the CS community to realize all these goals.
On the second day, I chose to attend the third year session on PhD academic career paths and job search by Susan Rodger (Duke) and Julia Hirschberg (Columbia). Being new to academic settings, this was highly informative to me. The differences between teaching and research positions were clearly outlined and a systematic approach to climb up the ladder in either case was presented. Susan also spoke about the recent increase in tenure track positions in teaching.
My final session was with A.J. Brush and Ming Lin (UNC) on building our professional persona. In addition to the way we present ourselves in a professional setting, the significance of quality control on what is shown as your public profile was highlighted, including updating the many arenas like webpage, github, twitter, digital libraries, etc.
To summarize - neatly organized, wisely picked sessions, great speakers, accessible 1:1 advising with mentors, good posters, DJ night/dancing, and of course great food ! Breaks between the sessions were well structured to make the best use of the opportunity to build mentoring relationships. I got most of the reinforcements on my research choice during these casual chats with the senior researchers. It was nice to see UMass Amherst at the forefront with Lori Clarke as a Co-Chair and the enlightening keynote by Jim Kurose.
This is written solely from the perspective of a first year graduate student trying to solidify her research goals. The beauty of grad cohort is that you have a good mix of sessions to specially cater to your needs. The rule of thumb is to dump your personal devices in the room and take the utmost advantage of these two days.


Hi! I'm Ellie
I'm a professionally trained senior UI/UX designer with 6+ years of experience.
I strongly believe in the power of research and user-centered design. The best part of my job is to discover users pain points and create an engaging experience. I love collaborative work environment and excited about upcoming changes to the digital world.
I’m currently working at Quest Software.
May 2018 |
This project has been done entirely by myself. Some of the main activities are:
Quest e-commerce web app has remained unchanged for a couple of years after it's separation from Dell.
Its redesign will not only help maintain consistent branding across sites but also will create opportunities to improve existing UX flaws which in turn will:
Quest is a global IT solutions provider to many companies across the world. Here are some specific audiences that interact with Quest e-commerce website:
In this project, our main focus was IT professionals who purchase our products online.
Our secondary important users were stakeholders to benefit from sale increase and meet their financial goals.
Our audience can use the web app from anywhere, office, coffee shop, co-working spaces, airports, etc. They can use their mobile, tablet, or laptop to discover products and most likely make a purchase while they are in front of their laptops/desktops.
They are aware of what their needs are for the business, the problems they are facing and looking for the right solution to meet their budget. They already had a discussion with their technical team and leadership to figure out all the details and money to spend.
They might feel a bit stressed and anxious about the issues affecting their services and want to find the best possible solution as quickly as possible. They might also be excited about using this new solution they are about to buy.
Here are some of the needs they have (user stories):
The solution is to redesign existing web app and having it responsive too so that customers can have a consistent experience in all touch points.
Here is a breakdown of user tasks:
Before starting to sketch any ideas, I created a new user flow based on my findings so that I could validate my assumptions and identify any steps missed or have issues sooner than later. That way I could save some time during design by making sure my solution would target solving the right problem.
My goal was to go through the whole process with stakeholders using this user flow and eliminate any uncertain assumptions later in the project.

To measure how successful our website redesign is in improving customer journey, we are going to set up Google Analytics metrics (usability benchmarking/Quantitative research). Here are some assumptions that I expect to happen after launch:
Mar 2018 |
This project was a team effort, however following are some of the key areas I worked on:
It is crucial to know what you are buying before you actually buy it. Nearly all people go through product pages before making a purchase decision. It's therefore important that they provide, clear and detailed information about the features of the product.
The main purpose of redesigning product pages are as follows:
Here are some specific audiences that interact with Quests website before purchasing products through e-commerce site:
In this project, our main focus was IT professionals who decide whether a service is technically a good fit for their needs. We also focused on IT managers as our secondary user group.
Most of our website traffic is from a desktop, which means people mostly discovering products while they are in front of their laptop or desktop. (at work)
They are looking for the most effective solution in the industry to help simplify their processes and day to day tasks.
Here are some of the needs they have:
We decided to do a deep research and find out how can we make the information people are looking for to discover our products more accessible. By improving the information hierarchy and adjusting the content with our user needs, we can meet the goal of easy exploration and discovery for users.
Here is a breakdown of user tasks:
After doing a lot of research about the best order for information architecture, the functionality of different patterns, and content voice we came up with a more engaging template to represent Quest products and help decision-making process easier for visitors.
Competitive analysis for information hierarchy
Competitive analysis for inspiration (statistics)
We had several design critique sessions with teams during this project for feedback and collaboration.
I have coded and created several versions of A/B tests for new patterns to collect data accordingly before we proceed with implementing them into the templates.
View Old TemplateIterations on mocks & team feedback
A/B test result on resources pattern
Split test result on the new layout
This project was a mix of introducing new patterns and improvements to existing components in terms of functionality and branding. Following are the new patterns that I worked on and revised based on research, team feedback, and testing results:
Hero & secondary sticky navigation (Design + Development of background diagonal image)
Statistics
Display tangible data based on facts worth mentioning about the product
Supported platforms
Customer quotes & reviews from G2 Crowd
I have also coded this pattern and researched optimized image sizes for all devices in addition to character limits along with creating a Sketch template for exporting assets for this pattern and training of team members.
Product tour
Resources (Design + Prototype)
This pattern has been revised 3 times through A/B testing
Get started & client logos
Social Share
Share the page through different social media channels to increase social traffic & presence
Sep 2017 |
This was an enhancement project to Quests existing home-grown CMS hosting the entire website and a ticketing system to manage and plan projects and all the requests associated with each project type to meet deadlines.
This project was a team effort. I worked on the project/request planner feature that was replaced the old style project management tool.
Almost all quest employees need to interact with our internal ticketing system in order to get theier work done.
Interviewing different users in the company revealed that enhancement to the existing system will address the following issues and therefore will improve productivity:
Almost all Quest employees interact with this platform to either request work from other team members or track the pending task list in their bucket.
Following are some of the main groups to name a few:
In this project, our main focus was on project managers, agile team members, and individual task owners.
All users are interacting with this platform every day or night depending on how much work they need to deliver by a certain date. They may feel stressed or tired from the amount of work they have and want to quickly see all the tasks assigned to them.
This platform is only available on the desktop.
Here are some of the needs they have (user stories):
Talking to users of the platform and listing all the main features that were important to the majority of them, we came up with a new feature to be implemented as an enhancement to improve user experience and efficiency of how we work every day.
Following are some of the tasks that different user groups will perform on this platform:
Since this project was an enhancement to the existing platform, many patterns and elements have been reused to maintain consistency. Project Request Planner is the only new pattern designed to integrate new functionalities. One of the biggest challenges with the addition of this feature was the migration of old-style projects into this new style. To overcome this barrier and gradual migration we defined two types of projects standard (old) and guided (new).
1. Add a new project
The process starts with this screen to add a new project.
2. Project/Request type breakdown
My fellow designer colleague worked on this pop up which shows break down of the different request and project categories based on user interviews and card sorting sessions.
3. The first step to create a project
4. Guided project entry page
4-1. Project Request Planner details
All required tasks and phases for different type of projects were defined by the business analyst of this project through interviews with users.
4-1. Moving tasks between phases
5. Adding a new request to a task
6. Adding a new or an existing task to a phase
7. Timing status for different tasks
8. Request task manager
Here are some assumptions that we expected to see after launch:
Feb 2018 |
This project has been done entirely by myself. Some of the main activities are:
Trial download landing page carries a high importance in the user journey since it is where the actual conversion takes place and brings the company revenue. Optimizing the form and enhancement to this page will be a win-win both for the user since they reached their goal of finding a solution for the issues they were experiencing and for the company to meet their conversion goals.
At this point that the user is convinced that the product they have discovered may meet their needs, It's our job to make the access to the trial as quickly as possible by:
The primary audience for this project is IT professionals such as developers, database administrators, data analysts who are:
Although some of the Quest products are responsive, they are mostly available on a desktop. Almost all users download and try them on a laptop or desktop computer.
They may feel excited to see what this new solution has to offer and so focused to figure out all the capabilities. They need good reasons to convince their manager to buy this solution and need to capture all the pros and cons through the trial version.
They need to install the trial version on the operating system they are using quickly and easily so that they can play with all the crucial features during the trial period.
The solution is to the redesign existing web page based on research results to convince users to download the free trial and that how this product will help them solve their issues.
Here is a breakdown of user tasks:
I started by reading several articles and research papers to find out the primary rules for designing an efficient form. Followings are some of the best practices I captured:
Based on my findings and working with the business analyst about the requirements of the flow I have come up with the following flow/style for the new form:
1-1. Hero space (initial load - short form)
1-2. Hero space with customer logos
Adding customer logos under the hero will create a chance to showcase popular companies using this product.
2. Product benefits
3. Awards and recognition

Some of the activities that we are going to track are:
Jul 2018 |
This project was a team effort. I mainly worked at the UI for web and interactions such as:
Facts are always attractive when they are measured through numbers and data.
The main goals of this project are:
The primary audience for this project is IT managers and directors working mainly on IT administration. Following are some of their attributes:
People are going to use this resource when they are in the process of discovering a new solution for some issues they are experiencing. Thus it is important to present them with actual data (facts) and how impactful this solution can be to help solve their issues. They are responsible to keep the systems up and running 24/7 and looking for a tool that can automate some of their tasks and make monitoring the systems easier so that they can stay on top of everything all the time.
We wanted to try and see how motion can make data more valuable and create a better connection with the person consuming it. We came up with this idea to test and see how engaging it will be to present the same data in a static file versus a dynamic web page. Here is the breakdown of how the user can interact with this new page:
1. Hero area
Fade in and bounce effect to show the initiation of the story and immediately indicate the benefits
2. Critical information about IT vulnerabilities
3. Rising complexity configurations
4. The solution to overcoming all the previously stated issues
I'm running a split test between this version and a static web page which includes the infographic in pdf file. Some of the activities that we are going to track are:
Oct 2016 |
This project was a team effort.
Here are the highlights of my role:
When Quest was part of Dell company all employees had a central place to go and get the information about design system from Dell design library.
After becoming an independent company with a new brand, the need to have this information gathered in one place was even more crucial than before (especially for third-party vendors). This was the main reason for doing this project to:
The main audience is basically everyone who needs to touch areas related to Quest such as website, graphics, multimedia, and content. This group includes designers, developers, copywriters, creative team & multimedia folks, project managers, third-party vendors, and product owners.
Users are mainly going to use this environment when working on their tasks. They need to have a single place to make sure complying with Quest branding, voice, and standards to create a distinctive look and feel that is immediately recognizable as Quest.
Most of the users are going to refer to this environment while working on different tasks and projects.
It will be effective for them to quickly access the information they need to apply to their day-to-day tasks and don't have to worry about finding them in a file that might not be the latest version.
That way they can spend less time searching and more time working on tasks that matter. Here are some of the needs they may have:
The solution was to create a central library as a knowledge base for design and branding using Frontify platform, that way:
Uber spreadsheet for UI elements
Style guide best practices
Studied brand guidelines in the industry to create a standard taxonomy for the brand style guide and UI pattern library
Web style guide
Contributed building Quest web style guide and UI pattern library through tangible terminology
UI design library using Sketch

Inter eyeing January swoop for Giroud
by Capital SportLONDON, United Kingdom, Nov 15 – Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud appears to be headed for the Stamford Bridge exit in January, with Inter Milan tipped to make a move for the France international.
The Blues forward came to the rescue for France on Thursday night as he bagged a 79th-minute winner from the penalty spot to help Les Bleus edge past Moldova 2-1 in Paris.
Back at Chelsea, Giroud is thought to have become frustrated by the lack of opportunities under manager Frank Lampard this season.
The former Arsenal star, who signed a one-year contract extension over the summer after the club utilised a clause in his previous deal, has only made two starts this season and the 33-year-old has spoken of the frustration of spending much of the campaign so far sat on the bench.
There has been plenty of recent speculation regarding the forward’s future and now Inter Milan are thought to have joined the hunt to land the Frenchman.
Inter bolstered their attacking ranks over the summer with the arrival of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United.
However, manager Antonio Conte is eager to add to his strike force and is thought to have identified Giroud as a target, having worked with the forward during his time at Stamford Bridge.
With less than six months left on his current deal, Giroud could be a bargain deal, with reports suggesting £6m might be enough to land the player.
Chelsea’s inability to bring in a replacement due to their current transfer ban could be the only snagging point in any potential switch to the Serie A giants for World Cup-winner Giroud.

MY MUM'S SPEECH
Rabbis, family and friends,
My job tonight is a simple one. It is basically to relax, look good for the photos and enjoy the evening. I am not a religious person, but I am a doer. As Fruma once said in a shiur I went to, that women are naturally on a higher spiritual level than men because the physical work they do elevates them spiritually to a higher level than men. Maybe that is why the men have to pray so often, they are trying to catch up to our level.
I am not going to embarrass Jeremy by singing (except one song later tonight for Shula which he has agreed is Ok to do) and I am not going to make a speech because Dennis is the barrister in the family, but I do have the very pleasant task of reading out the good wishes from a few special people and a poem from our very dear friend Dr Martin Adler, who is caring for his sick father and could not be with us tonight.
Before I read the poem I would like to thank Dennis for taking Jeremy to Shule every Friday night and Shabbat for many years, and also for all the shlepping to cheder for years while I had Sunday mornings off. I would also like to thank the Goldbergs & the Brucks who have shared the too-ing and fro-ing from St Ives both from East Ryde and now from East Lindfield, and also the Goldsteins and Geyers who have shared the driving with us this year. I would also like to thank the Barmitzvah breakfast dads who who have shown the boys the cullinary delights of french toast, and the delights of nesquik on just about anything. I would like to thank Renee & Les Mill and family for having had Jeremy numerous times for Shabbat lunch over the last year or two, it has always been an uplifting experience for him. Lastly I would like to thank Zalman for his dedication to the Jewish education of all of our children who are in the public school system. I know of no better Cheder in Sydney than Chabad Hebrew School, and I can say this as a Hebrew teacher myself, that it is one of the most thankless jobs and one of the hardest to do. If all of our children achieve even ½ of what Jeremy has achieved, then our Jewish continuity into the year 2000 and beyond is assured. I am not going to say anything to Jeremy because hes heard it all before but Martins expresses so beautifully the essence of what I think about my son. Thank you "Uncle Marty" for your words today.

The Hero Editor
The application now has a basic title. Next you will create a new component to display hero information and place that component in the application shell.
Create the heroes component
Using the Angular CLI, generate a new component named heroes
.
ng generate component heroes
The CLI creates a new folder, src/app/heroes/
, and generates
the three files of the HeroesComponent
.
The HeroesComponent
class file is as follows:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-heroes',
templateUrl: './heroes.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./heroes.component.css']
})
export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
}
}
You always import the Component
symbol from the Angular core library
and annotate the component class with @Component
.
@Component
is a decorator function
that specifies the Angular metadata for the component.
The CLI generated three metadata properties:
selector
— the component's CSS element selectortemplateUrl
— the location of the component's template file.styleUrls
— the location of the component's private CSS styles.
The CSS element selector,
'app-heroes'
, matches the name of the HTML element that identifies this component within a
parent component's template.
The ngOnInit
is a lifecycle hook.
Angular calls ngOnInit
shortly after creating a component.
It's a good place to put initialization logic.
Always export
the component class so you can import
it elsewhere ... like in
the AppModule
.
Add a hero property
Add a hero
property to the HeroesComponent
for a hero named "Windstorm."
hero = 'Windstorm';
Show the hero
Open the heroes.component.html
template file.
Delete the default text generated by the Angular CLI and
replace it with a data binding to the new hero
property.
{{hero}}
Show the HeroesComponent view
To display the HeroesComponent
, you must add it to the template of the shell AppComponent
.
Remember that app-heroes
is the element selector
for the HeroesComponent
.
So add an <app-heroes>
element to the AppComponent
template file, just
below the title.

{{title}}

<app-heroes></app-heroes>
Assuming that the CLI ng serve
command is still running,
the browser should refresh and display both the application title and the hero name.
Create a Hero class
A real hero is more than a name.
Create a Hero
class in its own file in the src/app
folder.
Give it id
and name
properties.
export class Hero {
id: number;
name: string;
}
Return to the HeroesComponent
class and import the Hero
class.
Refactor the component's hero
property to be of type Hero
.
Initialize it with an id
of 1
and the name Windstorm
.
The revised HeroesComponent
class file should look like this:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Hero } from '../hero';
@Component({
selector: 'app-heroes',
templateUrl: './heroes.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./heroes.component.css']
})
export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
hero: Hero = {
id: 1,
name: 'Windstorm'
};
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
}
}
The page no longer displays properly because you changed the hero from a string to an object.
Show the hero object
Update the binding in the template to announce the hero's name
and show both id
and name
in a details layout like this:

{{hero.name}} Details

id: {{hero.id}}

name: {{hero.name}}

The browser refreshes and displays the hero's information.
Format with the UppercasePipe
Modify the hero.name
binding like this.

{{hero.name | uppercase}} Details

The browser refreshes and now the hero's name is displayed in capital letters.
The word uppercase
in the
interpolation binding,
right after the pipe operator ( | ),
activates the built-in UppercasePipe
.
Pipes are a good way to format strings, currency amounts, dates and other display data. Angular ships with several built-in pipes and you can create your own.
Edit the hero
Users should be able to edit the hero name in an <input>
textbox.
The textbox should both display the hero's name
property
and update that property as the user types.
That means data flow from the component class out to the screen and
from the screen back to the class.
To automate that data flow, setup a two-way data binding between the <input>
form
element and the hero.name
property.
Two-way binding
Refactor the details area in the HeroesComponent
template so it looks like this:

name:
<input [(ngModel)]="hero.name" placeholder="name">

[(ngModel)] is Angular's two-way data binding syntax.
Here it binds the hero.name
property to the HTML textbox so that data can flow in both
directions: from the hero.name
property to the textbox, and from the textbox back to
the hero.name
.
The missing FormsModule
Notice that the app stopped working when you added [(ngModel)]
.
To see the error, open the browser development tools and look in the console for a message like
Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'.
Although ngModel
is a valid Angular
directive, it isn't available by default.
It belongs to the optional FormsModule
and you must
opt-in to using it.
AppModule
Angular needs to know how the pieces of your application fit together and what other files and libraries the app requires. This information is called metadata
Some of the metadata is in the @Component
decorators that you
added to your component classes.
Other critical metadata is in @NgModule
decorators.
The most important @NgModule
decorator
annotates the top-level AppModule class.
The Angular CLI generated an AppModule
class in src/app/app.module.ts
when it
created the project.
This is where you opt-in to the FormsModule
.
Import FormsModule
Open AppModule
(app.module.ts
) and import the FormsModule
symbol from the @angular/forms
library.
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; // <-- NgModel lives here
Then add FormsModule
to the @NgModule
metadata's imports
array, which contains a list of
external modules that the app needs.
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule
],
When the browser refreshes, the app should work again. You can edit the hero's name and see the changes
reflected immediately in the

above the textbox.
Declare HeroesComponent
Every component must be declared in exactly one NgModule.
You didn't declare the HeroesComponent
.
So why did the application work?
It worked because the Angular CLI declared HeroesComponent
in the AppModule
when it generated that component.
Open src/app/app.module.ts
and find HeroesComponent
imported near the top.
import { HeroesComponent } from './heroes/heroes.component';
The HeroesComponent
is declared in the @NgModule.declarations
array.
declarations: [
AppComponent,
HeroesComponent
],
Note that AppModule
declares both application components, AppComponent
and
HeroesComponent
.
Final code review
Your app should look like this
- import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
- import { Hero } from '../hero';
-
- @Component({
- selector: 'app-heroes',
- templateUrl: './heroes.component.html',
- styleUrls: ['./heroes.component.css']
- })
- export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
- hero: Hero = {
- id: 1,
- name: 'Windstorm'
- };
-
- constructor() { }
-
- ngOnInit() {
- }
-
- }
Summary
- You used the CLI to create a second
HeroesComponent
. - You displayed the
HeroesComponent
by adding it to theAppComponent
shell. - You applied the
UppercasePipe
to format the name. - You used two-way data binding with the
ngModel
directive. - You learned about the
AppModule
. - You imported the
FormsModule
in theAppModule
so that Angular would recognize and apply thengModel
directive. - You learned the importance of declaring components in the
AppModule
and appreciated that the CLI declared it for you.


Taskmaster to swap Dave for Channel 4 in six-series deal
by Iain LynnTaskmaster will move from UKTV channel Dave to Channel 4 in a new six-series deal.
The entertainment show, hosted by Greg Davies, which sees comedians compete in a series of strange and surreal challenges, has run for nine series on Dave.
The six series will air across three years, starting on Channel 4 in late 2020.
Alex Horne, the show's creator and Davies's on-screen assistant, said: "We've had an amazing nine series on Dave and I'd like to thank UKTV for letting us do such ridiculous things for so long.
READ MORE: Elf: A Christmas Spectacular on the arena stage this Christmas
"Greg and I are looking forward to getting started on a new series for Channel 4 from next year.
"It seems like the right time to move to a channel with a broader audience and I can reassure people who like the show that it won't be changing one bit and I'll still be forced to do things no one should ever have to do."
Davies added: "For the first time in our working relationship I agree with little Alex Horne.
"The nine series on UKTV have been a joy and I would echo his thanks to all involved.
"I do take issue with the notion that the show will remain exactly the same however as I have made it my personal mission to break his spirit.
"I will remain even handed with contestants of course, but it really is going to get unpleasant for him. Peace."
Taskmaster first started as a live show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before being developed for television, initially with Channel 4.
It was later commissioned by UKTV for Dave.
The new series will air on Channel 4 before being repeated on E4.
Ian Katz, director of programmes at Channel 4, said: "Taskmaster is anarchic, original and a brilliant springboard for new comic talent.
"It's everything we look for in a Channel 4 show and like millions of others I'm a massive fan so I'm delighted it will soon be taking its place in our unrivalled slate of scripted and studio comedy."


Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane will be first to reach Kolkata for the historic Pink Ball Test
Rohit Sharma and pacer Mohammed Shami would be the last to join the squad on Wednesday.
by PTISkipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane will be the first to arrive on Tuesday morning ahead of India’s first ever Day/Night Test beginning on November 22.
The duo are scheduled to arrive at 9:40 AM, while the rest of the team will arrive in batches, local team manager Samrat Bhowmcik told PTI.
Giving out the arrival itinerary of the teams, he said Rohit Sharma and pacer Mohammed Shami would be the last to join the squad on Wednesday.
“Ishant Sharma is slated to arrive Tuesday night, while other members of the squad along with the full Bangladeshi contingent are scheduled to arrive together in the afternoon,” he said.
However there is no scheduled practice for Tuesday.
“But you never know if the captain wants to have a feel of the stadium, he might just drop in,” he said.
India had taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match series after beating Bangladesh by an innings and 130 runs inside three days and they will look to seal their 12th successive home series victory in the Eden pink ball Test.
Both teams will play their first ever day/night Test.

BILLY ELLIOT
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Universal Focus Director: Stephen Daldry Writer: Lee Hall Cast: Julie Walters, Jamie Bell, Jamie Draven, Gary Lewis, Jean Heywood, Stuart Wells, Nicola Blackwell
Did you hear the one about the macho coal miner whose young son wanted to be a ballet dancer? You did? Of course. Stephen Daldry tells it again in his new movie "Billy Elliot," but he relates the story in a fresh way, avoiding the rah-rah American style that inhabits movies like "Bring It On" and "Strictly Ballroom." "Billy Elliot," which was featured at this year's Toronto Film Festival and received a warm welcome at the recent showing at Cannes, comes on the heels of a similar, more commercial offering, Dein Perry's feature "Bootmen" about a tap-happy dancer in Australia.
The eponymous Billy, played by Jamie Bell in a startling yet understated performance as a gifted but oddballish 11- year-old, is one of two sons of a striking coal miner (Gary Lewis), a widowed man living in a working-class Northern English town near Newcastle. Discovering that his lad is secretly taking ballet lessons and is in fact the only male in a class of even younger girls led by chain-smoking Mrs. Wilkinson (Julie Walters), his eyes glare fiercely and his entire heads turns russet. While dad insists that Billy spend his spare time taking boxing in the local gym and is backed by his other son, Tony (Jamie Draven), Billy gets strong support from the idiosyncratic teacher who stands up to the older man and encourages Billy to do the same.
Would you be surprised if the most unlikely person ultimately becomes Billy's chief defender? Of course not. But as Roger Ebert always says, it's not the "what" of a story; it's the "how." Stephen Daldry directs Lee Hall's screenplay determined to show the eccentric and loveable characteristics of the community, such as the boy's senile grandmother (Jean Heywood) who states during two of her clearer moments "I could have been a professional dancer" with the melancholy determination of a Marlon Brando, and extracts a particularly comic performance from Gary Lewis--whose glistened eyes and inflamed features summon a blend of Kevin Costner and Ben Gazzara.
While most of the movie's dispatch lies in a study of contrasting and conflicting wills, "Bill Elliot" comes to exhilarating life at one point when Billy and her teacher, alone in the large gymnasium, let themselves go with a bopping, if awkwardly-danced jazz duet.  Daldry broadens the action by alternating scenes of Billy's growing affinity for the art form with panoramas of a bitter, year-long strike between the coal miners--most of whom had probably never traveled to London--kept in line by a contingent of local police in full riot gear who protect a growing number of scabs crossing the lines by bus. The film is effectively framed with a show- stopping scene of Billy joyfully jumping up and down to slow- motion camerawork. A memorable soundtrack adds luster to this little gem of a movie.

Whitelister is ready to use. However, when producing error messages, whitelister provides the entire path of the offending property. For those who depend on only the name of the offending property and not its path, you can set the following configuration immediately after requiring whitelister:
{% highlight js %} const whitelister = require('whitelister'); whitelister.setConfig({ nestedNames: false }); {% endhighlight %}


Objects are variables that can contain many values.
Object can have properties - simple values, and methods - functions that can be performed
Example of a simple object
var pizza = {ingredient:"pepperoni", sauce:"tomato"}
Object above has two properties (ingredient and sauce), but no methods
Properties can be accessed in two ways
objectName.propertyName
objectName["propertyName"]
Methods are a special case of a property. They are actions that can be performed on the object. Method is a function that is an object's property.
Example
var person = {
name: "Phil",
favouriteLanguage: "PHP",
introduction: function() {
return this.name + "'s favourite programming language is " + this.favouriteLanguage;
}
};
[output of the script]
Methods are functions belonging to an object, so in order to get their returned value, they must be called with parenthesis.
Methods can manage and access object's properties by using the this keyword. It refers to the owner of the properties (the object). Methods use this keyword instead of objectName.propertyName syntax because they "belong" to the same object as properties they want to access. Therefore, using this keyword outside objects is incorrect.


Man duped of Rs 2.45 lakh by duo posing as UK citizen, Customs official
A case of cheating was registered on Thursday and efforts were on to nab the two accused.
by PTINagpur: An investment consultant was duped of Rs 2.45 lakh by two people posing as a UK citizen and
Customs official respectively, Nagpur police said on Friday.
Sanjay Gunghe (56) used to advertise his investment firm on social media platforms and one of the two accused befriended him on the internet by claiming he was a citizen of the United Kingdom, an official said.
"This man, who gave his name as Howard Artiyana, contacted Gunghe and assured investment of a huge sum in his firm. He told Gunghe he would come to India on October 9," the official said.
However, on October 9, Gunghe got a call from a woman, who claimed she was a Customs official posted at Delhi airport, he said.
"This fake Customs official told Gunghe that Artiyana had been detained at Delhi Airport with millions of pounds. In order to get Artiyana released, the Customs official asked Gunghe to deposit money several times, all of which added to Rs 2.45 lakh," the official said.
The woman and the "UK citizen" were soon unreachable over phone, after which Gunghe realised he had been duped, the Beltarodi police station official said.
A case of cheating was registered on Thursday and efforts were on to nab the two accused, he added.

Introduction
In today's highly competitive market, marketing companies strive to run successful campaigns that yield optimal results. However, with numerous options available, determining the most effective marketing strategy can be challenging. To address this, marketing teams often turn to A/B testing, a randomized experimentation process that allows them to compare multiple versions of a variable, such as a web page, banner, or page element, and measure their impact on business metrics.
In this blog post, we will delve into an insightful marketing A/B testing dataset obtained from Kaggle. Our objective is to answer two fundamental questions: Firstly, would the campaign be successful? And secondly, if the campaign was successful, how much of that success could be attributed to the ads? To accomplish this, we will employ Python, a versatile programming language widely used for data analysis and machine learning.
Understanding the Dataset
Before we begin our analysis, let's gain a comprehensive understanding of the dataset. This particular dataset provides us with valuable information about user behavior, campaign groups, conversions, and ad exposure. Here are the key features:
- Index: Row index
- user id: User ID (unique)
- test group: If "ad" the person saw the advertisement, if "psa" they only saw the public service announcement
- converted: If a person bought the product then True, else is False
- total ads: Amount of ads seen by person
- most ads day: Day that the person saw the biggest amount of ads
- most ads hour: Hour of day that the person saw the biggest amount of ads
By analyzing this dataset, we aim to gain insights into the success of the marketing campaign, quantify the impact of ads on conversions, and determine whether any statistically significant differences exist between the experimental and control groups.
Importing the Required Libraries
To get started with our analysis, we need to import the necessary libraries in Python. Let's import Pandas for data manipulation, Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization, and Scipy for statistical analysis. We can achieve this by executing the following lines of code:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
from scipy.stats import ttest_ind
Data Preprocessing and Exploration
Before diving into the core analysis, we must preprocess and explore the dataset to gain a better understanding of its structure and identify any potential issues. This process typically involves handling missing values, checking for data integrity, and performing descriptive statistical analysis.
Let's start by loading the dataset into a Pandas DataFrame and inspecting the first few rows using the head()
function:
data = pd.read_csv('marketing_data.csv')
print(data.head())
Next, we'll assess the dataset's dimensions, check for missing values, and examine the data types of each feature:
print("Dataset Dimensions:", data.shape)
print("\nMissing Values:\n", data.isnull().sum())
print("\nData Types:\n", data.dtypes)
After verifying the dataset's integrity, we can proceed with exploratory data analysis (EDA). EDA involves generating descriptive statistics, visualizing the distributions of various features, and identifying potential correlations. Through EDA, we can uncover patterns, outliers, and gain insights into the characteristics of the experimental and control groups.
For instance, we might want to examine the distribution of conversions in the two groups and visualize the relationship between the total number of ads viewed and conversion rates. We can achieve this using Python's visualization libraries:
# Distribution of conversions in the experimental and control groups
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.countplot(x='converted', hue='test group', data=data)
plt.title('Distribution of Conversions')
plt.xlabel('Conversion')
plt.ylabel('Count')
plt.legend(title='Test Group')
plt.show()
# Relationship between total ads viewed and conversion rates
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.boxplot(x='converted', y='total ads', data=data)
plt.title('Total Ads Viewed vs. Conversion')
plt.xlabel('Conversion')
plt.ylabel('Total Ads Viewed')
plt.show()
Statistical Analysis and Hypothesis Testing
To determine the statistical significance of our findings, we can perform hypothesis testing between the experimental and control groups. One commonly used test is the independent samples t-test, which allows us to compare the means of two groups and determine whether they are significantly different.
To conduct the t-test, we first need to define our null and alternative hypotheses:
- Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference in conversion rates between the experimental and control groups.
- Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is a significant difference in conversion rates between the experimental and control groups.
We can then calculate the p-value, which indicates the probability of observing the data if the null hypothesis is true. A low p-value suggests that the observed difference is statistically significant.
Let's conduct an independent samples t-test using Python's ttest_ind()
function:
experimental_group = data[data['test group'] == 'ad']['converted']
control_group = data[data['test group'] == 'psa']['converted']
t_statistic, p_value = ttest_ind(experimental_group, control_group)
print("T-Statistic:", t_statistic)
print("P-Value:", p_value)
Interpreting the Results and Conclusion
Based on the calculated t-statistic and p-value, we can interpret the results of our hypothesis test. If the p-value is below a predetermined significance level (e.g., 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in conversion rates between the experimental and control groups.
Furthermore, we can quantify the impact of ads on conversions by analyzing the conversion rates and exploring potential correlations with other variables. This analysis can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and inform decision-making processes for future campaigns.
Conclusion
In this blog post, we explored the fascinating world of A/B testing in the marketing domain. We leveraged a comprehensive marketing A/B testing dataset and performed an in-depth analysis using Python. By employing statistical techniques, we quantified the impact of ads on conversions and assessed the statistical significance of our findings.
Through the power of Python and data analysis, marketing professionals can gain valuable insights into the success of their campaigns, optimize their strategies, and make data-driven decisions. A/B testing serves as a crucial tool for assessing the effectiveness of marketing variables, enabling companies to maximize their impact and drive business metrics.
Remember, when conducting A/B tests, it is important to consider factors beyond the dataset, such as sample size, test duration, and potential confounding variables. Nevertheless, by embracing data-driven methodologies and employing Python's analytical capabilities, marketers can gain a competitive edge in the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing.
Happy testing and data exploration!

We know you have so many things to do every day. And on top of going to work, getting
the mail, doing the laundry, feeding the dog/the cat/the kids/yourself—there are so many things to care
about.
Injustice. Poverty. Pollution. The future of humanity! The list goes on and on and never
ends.
It’s easier to do nothing. To say that you can’t commit to doing anything, because you
can’t possibly do everything.

You’ve decided to make the water crisis one thing you care about. And you’re doing
something about it.
It may not seem like much. But choosing to take action, no matter how big or small, takes guts. It matters. To us, and to the 13 million people who will have clean and safe water because you decided to do something about the global water crisis.
These are people like Helen and her community in Uganda. Like Honorine, her family, and the patrons at her restaurant in Madagascar. Like Netra and his classrooms full of students in Nepal. Since 2006, you’ve helped fund more than 78,000 water projects that continue to change the lives of people in 29 countries around the world.
 Thank you for 15 incredible years of clean water.
– your friends at charity: water


mknod, mknodat - create a special or ordinary file
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int mknod(const char *pathname, mode_t mode, dev_t dev);
#include <fcntl.h> /* Definition of AT_* constants */
#include <sys/stat.h>
int mknodat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, mode_t mode, dev_t dev);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
mknod():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
The system call mknod() creates a filesystem node (file, device special
file, or named pipe) named pathname, with attributes specified by
mode and dev.
The mode argument specifies both the file mode to use and
the type of node to be created. It should be a combination (using bitwise
OR) of one of the file types listed below and zero or more of the file mode
bits listed in inode(7).
The file mode is modified by the process's umask in the
usual way: in the absence of a default ACL, the permissions of the created
node are (mode & ~umask).
The file type must be one of S_IFREG, S_IFCHR,
S_IFBLK, S_IFIFO, or S_IFSOCK to specify a regular file
(which will be created empty), character special file, block special file,
FIFO (named pipe), or UNIX domain socket, respectively. (Zero file type is
equivalent to type S_IFREG.)
If the file type is S_IFCHR or S_IFBLK, then
dev specifies the major and minor numbers of the newly created device
special file (makedev(3) may be useful to build the value for
dev); otherwise it is ignored.
If pathname already exists, or is a symbolic link, this
call fails with an EEXIST error.
The newly created node will be owned by the effective user ID of
the process. If the directory containing the node has the set-group-ID bit
set, or if the filesystem is mounted with BSD group semantics, the new node
will inherit the group ownership from its parent directory; otherwise it
will be owned by the effective group ID of the process.
The mknodat() system call operates in exactly the same way as
mknod(), except for the differences described here.
If the pathname given in pathname is relative, then it is
interpreted relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor
dirfd (rather than relative to the current working directory of the
calling process, as is done by mknod() for a relative pathname).
If pathname is relative and dirfd is the special
value AT_FDCWD, then pathname is interpreted relative to the
current working directory of the calling process (like mknod()).
If pathname is absolute, then dirfd is ignored.
See openat(2) for an explanation of the need for
mknodat().
mknod() and mknodat() return zero on success, or -1 if an error
occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).
- EACCES
- The parent directory does not allow write permission to the process, or
one of the directories in the path prefix of pathname did not allow
search permission. (See also path_resolution(7).)
- EDQUOT
- The user's quota of disk blocks or inodes on the filesystem has been
exhausted.
- EEXIST
- pathname already exists. This includes the case where
pathname is a symbolic link, dangling or not.
- EFAULT
- pathname points outside your accessible address space.
- EINVAL
- mode requested creation of something other than a regular file,
device special file, FIFO or socket.
- ELOOP
- Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving
pathname.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- pathname was too long.
- ENOENT
- A directory component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling
symbolic link.
- ENOMEM
- Insufficient kernel memory was available.
- ENOSPC
- The device containing pathname has no room for the new node.
- ENOTDIR
- A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in fact, a
directory.
- EPERM
- mode requested creation of something other than a regular file,
FIFO (named pipe), or UNIX domain socket, and the caller is not privileged
(Linux: does not have the CAP_MKNOD capability); also returned if
the filesystem containing pathname does not support the type of
node requested.
- EROFS
- pathname refers to a file on a read-only filesystem.
The following additional errors can occur for
mknodat():
- EBADF
- dirfd is not a valid file descriptor.
- ENOTDIR
- pathname is relative and dirfd is a file descriptor
referring to a file other than a directory.
mknodat() was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16; library support was added
to glibc in version 2.4.
mknod(): SVr4, 4.4BSD, POSIX.1-2001 (but see below), POSIX.1-2008.
mknodat(): POSIX.1-2008.
POSIX.1-2001 says: "The only portable use of mknod() is to create a
FIFO-special file. If mode is not S_IFIFO or dev is not
0, the behavior of mknod() is unspecified." However, nowadays one
should never use mknod() for this purpose; one should use
mkfifo(3), a function especially defined for this purpose.
Under Linux, mknod() cannot be used to create directories.
One should make directories with mkdir(2).
There are many infelicities in the protocol underlying NFS. Some
of these affect mknod() and mknodat().
mknod(1), chmod(2), chown(2), fcntl(2),
mkdir(2), mount(2), socket(2), stat(2),
umask(2), unlink(2), makedev(3), mkfifo(3),
acl(5) path_resolution(7)

Art is my great adventure. I take the plunge into the chaos of my memories, experiences, learnings and senses in order to produce good art. Technical mastery is my instrument while my sense of childlike wonder and imagination are the guiding light in the shadows of the yet undiscovered potentials. I interpret learning new things as an expedition. I journey beyond the sphere of art, to the worlds of science and literature in order to come back with new ideas and approaches. Through the act of producing good art, I believe I can convey how exciting it is to discover new things and explore different possibilities.
More often than not, my pieces are made up of layers upon layers of lines. The lines represent my attempt to make sense of how I see the world and how I can make others see it as well. Within the lines are hidden objects, drawings within drawings to be concrete. The pieces I make are typically filled with a lot of minute details, meticulously arranged, that it may appear as though it is a piece, upon a piece, upon a piece. It tells of many stories that can be read upon closer observation of my art - new meaning and interpretations spring to view. It is my quest to inspire others to look a little more closely, think a little more deeply, and look at the world a little more wondrously.


Katana is a modern Swift framework for writing iOS applications business logic that are testable and easy to reason about. Katana is strongly inspired by Redux.
In few words, the app state is entirely described by a single serializable data structure, and the only way to change the state is to dispatch an action. An action is an intent to transform the state, and contains all the information to do so. Because all the changes are centralized and are happening in a strict order, there are no subtle race conditions to watch out for.
We feel that Katana helped us a lot since we started using it in production. Our applications have been downloaded several milions of times and Katana really helped us scaling them quickly and efficiently. Bending Spoons‘s engineers leverage Katana capabilities to design, implement and test complex applications very quickly without any compromise to the final result.
We use a lot of open source projects ourselves and we wanted to give something back to the community, hoping you will find this useful and possibly contribute. ❤
Overview
Your entire app State
is defined in a single struct, all the relevant application information should be placed here.
struct CounterState: State {
var counter: Int = 0
}
The app State
can only be modified by an Action
. An Action
represents an event that leads to a change in the State
of the app. You define the behaviour of the action implementing the updatedState()
method that will return the new app State
based on the current app State
and the Action
itself.
struct IncrementCounter: Action {
func updatedState(currentState: State) -> State {
guard var state = currentState as? CounterState else { return currentState }
state.counter += 1
return state
}
}
The Store
contains and manages your entire app State
and it is responsible for dispatching Actions
and updating the State
.
let store = Store<CounterState>()
store.dispatch(IncrementCounter())
You can ask the Store
to be notified about every change in the app State
.
store.addListener() {
// the app state has changed
}
Side Effects
Updating the application’s state using pure functions is nice and it has a lot of benefits. Applications have to deal with the external world though (e.g., API call, disk files management, …). For all this kind of operations, Katana provides the concept of side effects
. Side effects can be used to interact with other part of your applications and then dispatch new actions to update your state.
In order to leverage this functionality you have to adopt the ActionWithSideEffect
protocol
struct IncrementCounter: ActionWithSideEffect {
func updatedState(currentState: State) -> State {
// some update state code here if needed
}
func sideEffect(
currentState: State,
previousState: State,
dispatch: @escaping StoreDispatch,
dependencies: SideEffectDependencyContainer) {
// your logic here (e.g., network call)
}
}
Dependencies
The last parameter of the side effect method signature is dependencies
. This is the Katana way of doing dependency injection. We test our side effects, and because of this we need to get rid of singletons or other bad pratices that prevent us from writing tests. Create a dependency container is very easy: just create a class that implements the SideEffectDependencyContainer
protocol and use it in the side effect
final class AppDependencies: SideEffectDependencyContainer {
required init(dispatch: @escaping StoreDispatch, getState: @escaping () -> State) {
// initialize your dependencies here
}
}
Middleware
When defining a Store
you can provide a list of middleware layers that are triggered whenever an action is dispatched. Katana comes with a built in ActionLogger
middleware that logs all the actions, but the one listed in the black list parameter.
let actionLogger = ActionLogger.middleware(blackList: [NotToLogAction.self])
let store = Store<CounterState>(middleware: [actionLogger], dependencies: AppDependencies.self)
What about the UI?
Katana is meant to give structure to the logic part of your app. When it comes to UI we propose two alternatives:
Tempura: an MVVC framework we built on top of Katana and that we happily use to develop the UI of all our apps at Bending Spoons. Tempura is a lightweight, UIKit-friendly library that allows you to keep the UI automatically in sync with the state of your app. This is our suggested choice.
Katana-UI: With this library, we aimed to port React to UIKit, it allows you to create your app using a declarative approach. The library was initially bundled together with Katana, we decided to split it as internally we don’t use it anymore. In retrospect, we found that the impedance mismatch between the React-like approach and the imperative reality of UIKit was a no go for us.

galtonwatson, a Go module for efficient manipulation of Galton-Watson trees
galtonwatson is a Go module in early development which implements efficient algorithms for the generation and manipulation of Galton-Watson trees. By extension, this tool can be used to generate uniformly random samples from many classes of rooted trees, including:
- uniformly random binary trees of a given size,
- uniformly random d-ary trees of a given size,
- uniformly random Cayley trees, i.e., unordered labeled trees of a given size,
- uniformly random ordered trees of a given size,
- etc.

The Burrows-Wheeler transform, revisited
In my previous post, I discussed the Burrows-Wheeler transform, and embedded an HTML form on the page which dynamically computed the forward and inverse Burrows-Wheeler transforms with an additional move-to-front compression step. My initial implementation of this form was done in pure JavaScript with no particular care for efficiency, and in particular used \(O(n^2 \log n)\) space and time. The new implementation on the same page reduces this complexity to \(O(n \log n)\) time and \(O(n)\) space, making the form usable on larger texts. It is possible, as noted in the paper of Gil and Scott, that this time complexity can be reduced to \(O(n)\) by using linear time suffix array construction algorithms.

The Burrows-Wheeler transform and move-to-front compression
Bit count:Bit count:The above form implements algorithms to code and decode from the move-to-front compression scheme, with or without an additional application of the Burrows-Wheeler transform. These extremely slick algorithms blew my mind when I first heard of them. They are currently in use, among other places, in bzip2 file compression.

Splay trees and optimality
The splay tree is probably my favourite data structure. Is it useful in practice? Probably not, but its remarkable optimality properties coupled with its bare simplicity are so tantalizing that I’ve fallen in love with splaying. In the rest of this post, I’ll describe the splay tree structure, and present some of my favourite splay tree properties. You will also find an instructive D3 visualization of a splay tree in motion.

Let \(U_1, U_2, \dots\) be an infinite sequence of independent \(\mathrm{Uniform}[0, 1]\) random variables. Let \(N\) be the minimum index for which \[ U_1 + U_2 + \dots + U_N > 1 . \] What is the expected value \(\mathbf{E}\{N\}\)?


If checked Jenkins will monitor the scan and generate the report after the a completed scan finishes.
Note: This is a blocking process. The full build process won't finish until the scan finishes.
