Happy New Year! I can hardly believe it's already 2012--12 whole years since the new millenium. I feel so old saying this, but there are times where I still think that 2000 sounds futuristic, and then I remember it's been more than a decade...
With the new year comes the perfect opportunity to reflect on one's life, and perhaps make some changes.
(I've been procrastinating as usual and still haven't made up my resolutions yet...hmm...maybe that would make a good resolution...)
Here's a lightened up fudge brownie recipe adapted from Martha Stewart (via Neverhomemaker) in honor of the New Year. It's made with sweet potatoes and vegan to boot but tastes totally decadent (so extremely chocolatey and FUDGY)! Perfect for those get-healthy resolutions...
Sweet Potato Fudge Brownies
adapted from neverhomemaker
4 tablespoons canola oil
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all purpose flour (whole wheat pastry flour would be great, and healthier too!)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup organic cane sugar
2/3 cup sweet-potato puree
1 flax egg (see directions below)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
So fudgy and chocolatey...


This program is going to simulate the street game of rolling dice. Two dice are rolled and the total is added up. If you roll a total of 7 or 11 you win. If you roll the same number two times in a row you win. If you roll a two you roll again. If you roll a 7 or 11, "you win!". If you roll a 2 you get to roll again. Lastly, if you roll the same number two times in a row, "you win!"

(pill / tablet) |
This was my third (maybe second? can't really remember) time to drop acid, however it was my first time to really trip hard.  I was feeling really good when I took the pills; We (myself and a friend) took them at another friend's house. His parents were out for the night so we knew that we could really cut loose. His house is really fun, he has a big backyard with tennis courts and a small forest type area. There were two other nontripping friends that we designated as our 'babysitters' just in case.
The first effects started about 20 minutes after I ingested the pills. It was a mild euphoria, but growing greater every minute. I was feeling so happy that I could not help but give all my friends a big hug.
The acid was really starting to kick in, I was getting black flashes much like a strobe light, and I was feeling quite euphoric. We decided to go out into the back yard. My other two friends were laughing at us as we got accustomed to our new acid world. I found it very difficult to walk, and my perceptions were getting altered, when I tried to move a limb it was extremely exaggerated. For example, I remember once I was holding a cigarette, and moved my arm to take a drag. I could not judge how much I was moving my arm and I swung the cig into the air and it fell on the ground next to me. When I reached down to pick it up, my hand slammed into the ground. This 'transitory stage' only lasted about 10 minutes (I think). However the exageration of everything lasted throughout the night.
Anyway, we got outside and that's when things really started getting groovy. We walked out to the tennis courts, and my friend was messing with us. He saw my tripping partner Nick outstretching his hands to the sky and said 'Hey John (that's me), I need you to find me the moon.' Though I knew he was just messing around, I felt compelled to find the moon and I delightfully skipped around until I found a pine cone, which I decided must be a moon dropping. I then reported back with what I had found, proud of myself.
We went back inside after about 15 minutes? My sense of time was starting to get really out of whack. Anyway, we got back into his room. Nick's face was flushing and he had a mild case of the sweats, but given my state of mind, I thought he was about to explode. I thought that he must not be breathing. I told my non-tripping friend what I thought, and he played along. I kept telling him, 'Nick's not breathing, Nick's not breathing,' (I thought I was whispering but was really talking quite loudly) until I convinced Nick himself that he was not breathing. Surprisingly enough, neither of us really got freaked out, especially since I was comforted by the fact that if someone stopped breathing, they would go unconscious and would begin breathing again.
After about 30 minutes I think, my two non-tripping friends were getting really bored of babysitting and wanted to go out to eat. They assured us that we were acting normal enough to not screw up, so Nick and I agreed that it would be ok since they left. They told us that we could crank up the guitars and the music. We started peaking right about the time they left. I felt like I was sharing thoughts with Nick - if he said he was seeing or feeling something, I would almost always see or feel it too. I don't remember a lot, but there are lots of separate parts I do remember.
 While I was playing, I noticed that I was twitching my eye. It wasn't just a normal twitch - my whole face was scrunching with every note I played, and my eyes were going wild. The uncontrollable eye twitch continued throughout the night. I started to listen to music, and when I finally came to later that night I realized that I had gone through about 20 CDs. I must have not listened to all of them because I was only listening to music for about an hour total.
The coolest and most memorable part of the trip was while listening to Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother.' Me and Nick were convinced that we were tribal leaders, took our shirts off, and wrapped them around our heads like turbans. We ran all over the room, and made faces at each other in the bathroom. Nick's face looked like a Picasso painting. We made up an elaborate dance that included banging pillows on the bed as hard as possible. When my other two friends returned they were greeted to two shirtless men with turbans on shooting them with guitars.
After that things started to settle back down, but neither me or Nick could sleep that night. The eye twitch continued until the next evening, and the intense trip made me stay away from acid for a while. It was not a bad experience, don't get me wrong, it was probably the most fun thing I have ever done, but the crash afterward was just a little too much and I had to step back and recover. There is a lot more that I could tell you, but I don't remember the sequence much and I am tired of writing so I hope you have enjoyed my story.

Week 3 Technical Post - Javascript
Javascript seems to be a very important part of the web development community. Within the last couple of years, the # of Javascript jobs have been the most in demand, as seen here:
There seems to be a bunch of reasons why people like Javascript, and why it becaome such a major part of the web development community. Here are a couple:
Ease of learning and use - while no languages are "easy" to learn, as all languages require lots of practice and use to get comfortable with, Javascript, at least compared to other more complicated languages like Objective-C, is a lot more readable, and, like many other scripting languages, is easier to pick up. It also does borrow a lot from other more established languages as well, so if you're familiar with Java and C, or other scripting languages like Ruby or Python, it is easier to pick up. It's also very fast, and reduces the load on the server.
Ubiquity - Libraries/browsers/community - relating to the ease of use, Javascript is supported by every browser, and has loads of libraries! Therefore there is no need to worry about different versions being needed to be made depending on what your browser is. Also, since there are loads of libraries available, you don't need to reinvent the wheel every time you need more fucntionality - chances are there are already libraries available! Buliding on top of that, that means the community is also very robust and strong - theres tons of resources available on the web, and people who are in he same cirumstance as you.
Node, JSON, and XML - Node allows you to run as if it was the server. No need for server side languages - javascript is all self containing. JSON and XML, two other ways to write, is also based off javascript. These three things, however, are very prevalent in web development, and Javascript is interconnected amongst all three
There are some negatives to using Javascript though. This includes:
Javascript is heavily based on JQuery - Javascript itself is a fairly old language. However the main reason it got into prominance was this library called JQuery. Then and only then was it viable for web developent
Security Issues - a lot of security exploits are because of Javascript. Once you get code onto the client server, it can be used to exploit the user's system.
Rendering - while Javascript is available on all brwosers, it still can run slightly differently, and result in different outputs depending on the browser/system used. This obviously causes a lot of headaches.
Search - because it's a scripting language, there is a lot less readable information regarding search terms, which could mae it hard to search for your page if it's built solely on Javascript

A List of Things That Happened in 'AHS: 1984' That Didn't Make Any Sense at All
The ninth edition of “American Horror Story” probably could have been somewhat better
by Phil Owen(Spoilers ahead for the entirety of “American Horror Story: 1984”)
It’s finally, mercifully, time for me to move on from “AHS: 1984.” The season ended this week, after a season that somehow managed to establish a new standard for being all over the place for a series that is best known at this point for being all over the place. That’s quite an accomplishment, but not really a good one.
Before I can forget all of this ever happened, I have a laundry list of things that happened in “AHS: 1984” that were super irritating and frustrating to watch, and I feel like I’m gonna go crazy if I don’t try to share this madness with our dear readers. So let’s do this. I have 18 items right now. I’ll probably add some more because I keep thinking of new ones.
Also Read:
1. They forgot to do a climax, as the season finale was really just an epilogue with occasional goofy flashbacks explaining what happened back in the day.
2. Why was Dylan McDermott even in this when his character served no real plot purpose?
3. The Night Stalker (Zach Villa) could not have possibly murdered Mr. Jingles’s wife.
4. Remember when there was a whole thing about Margaret (Leslie Grossman) being a devoted Satan worshipper? They just kinda stopped talking about that.
Also Read:
5. Speaking of Satan, why was he resurrecting the Night Stalker over and over? What could possibly have been the point of that, since he never actually appeared to enact any kind of plan or play any kind of key role in much of anything.
6. Rita/Donna (Angelica Ross) and Brooke (Emma Roberts) looked exactly the same 30 years later.
Also Read:
7. There was no actual “final girl.”
8. In the first episode, they ran into that mysterious 1970 camp counselor (Lou Taylor Pucci) in the road outside camp. Then it was revealed that Margaret killed him in the road. Then all the later episodes established that you have to die within the property line of the camp, which they also establish does not include the road. And yet that guy kept coming back as a ghost like he had died on the property, even though he hadn’t.
9. Back at the beginning of the season we learned that Xavier (Cody Fern) was at camp because he was trying to avoid this guy who had forced him to do gay porn.  And then that guy died, never came back as a ghost, and that whole thing was never mentioned again. Nothing related to Xavier’s sexuality is even alluded to.
Also Read:
10. In the early episodes of “AHS: 1984,” everybody had a story like that, something they were trying to escape by going to Camp Redwood. But none of their character arcs were given any closure so I’m not sure what the point was supposed to be.
11. Steven Culp played Brooke’s dad for one scene — the bloody wedding — and had no lines and was never mentioned again.
12. In the third episode, Chet and Ray fell into a pit filled with spikes. I guess Margaret might have put it there, but until all the murders started happening it sure seemed like she was gonna play it straight with the summer camp. So I don’t know why she would have put a giant spike pit at the summer camp for children.
13. Ditto for the net trap that Brooke gets stuck in.
Also Read:
14. Speaking of which, I don’t understand anything about Margaret. She bought the camp and wanted to do summer camp. But she was worshipping Satan and wanted to do evil things? Literally nothing about that character tracks. Which is saying something for “AHS”
15.  And then his mom (Lily Rabe) was also there, and she told Jingles: “You brought him back to me, and I am eternally grateful.” I might think she was referring to how he killed her in 1958 and made it so they could hang out as ghosts, but literally one episode earlier she was screaming at him about how she hasn’t seen him since he died.
16. So, uh, why did any of this happen? Why is the camp like that? Everybody just kinda stopped wondering about it.
17. Finn Wittrock shoulda known better.
18. I mean come on


THE PARENT TRAP
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Walt Disney Pictures Director: Nancy Meyers Writer: Eugene David, Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer Cast: Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, Lindsay Lohan, Lisa Ann Walter, Elaine Hendrix
In the movie "Love and Death on Long Island" Giles De'ath (John Hurt) tells young Ronnie Bostock (Jason Priestley) that if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be making movies like "Hot Pants College." An exaggeration perhaps. A more realistic project for the Bard, were he alive now, would be a film like "The Parent Trap." Nancy Meyers's romantic comedy has the elements that Elizabethan audiences were so fond of: mistaken identity, outrageous coincidences, and parallel, romantic subplots. If Dan Quayle were a member of the Academy, he'd vot, er, vote an award for "The Parent Trap" not because it's Shakespearean ("what's that"?) but because it epitomizes family values. How could it not? "The Parent Trap" is essentially the story of twin girls, eleven years old, who are despondent because each one is missing one parent. When their folks got divorced while the little girls were just a few months ago, one went to live with her dad in California's Napa Valley while the other hung out with her Mom in the Belgravia section of London. The twins were quite comfortable financially, but you just can't beat the healthy, two-parent family.
The 1998 film is a re-make of the sunny 1961 comedy which starred Hayley Mills in both roles. They appeared together in various scenes then, but you could always tell that they were just one kid pasted onto the other. With special effects at the current high level, only an expert could tell that Walt Disney productions needed to pay only one salary.
The story begins as Martin (Simon Kunz), London butler to clothing designer Elizabeth James (Natasha Richardson) bids a tearful goodbye to Elizabeth's daughter, Annie (newcomer Lindsay Lohan), who is about to spend an eight-week season in a camp in Maine. Coincidentally, the twin sister she has never met, Hallie Parker, is also a camper, a girl who lives with her dad Nick (Dennis Quaid) in the Napa Valley vineyards. At first, they spot a resemblance. It takes them quite a while to compare notes and to realize that they have matching DNAs, and from that time on, they are determined to live together under one roof with both parents. They concoct a delightful plan to bring their folks together by rekindling their romance. As in all romantic comedies, the man and woman must encounter many obstacles, becoming a collective only in the final scene. The principal deterrent here is that dad is about to marry a gorgeous publicist, Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrix), so the girls must use all their charm and cunning to get her out of the picture.
The two-hour length of the movie may signify that director Meyers--who wrote the screenplay together with Charles Shyer and David Swift--is targeting an adult audience. The movie does have an appeal to kids (it's from the sort of novel that junior high school teachers used to call a girls' story). But while the excellent Lindsay Lohan is in virtually every scene, "The Parent Trap" is really about the parents. We don't know why they broke up so soon, almost twelve years ago. After all, they enjoyed an idyllic honeymoon aboard the QE2. All we grasp is that "he made me nuts," as Elizabeth says in passing. In other words, you don't spend your life on the QE2 and re-marriage, even with yet another honeymoon on the Big Lady, is likely as not to end in divorce. We don't want to think of that possibility, though, because everyone in the film--with one exception--is so charming and bubbly. The one character we don't like is the money-grubbing publicist, Meredith, who may have a thing for Nick's physique as well, but who simply does not like kids or camping the way he does.
"The Parent Trap" is filled with comic moments: the kids play ingenious but devastating tricks on one another in camp and in a couple of cases, they give their nemesis, Meredith, enough rope to hang herself in Nick's eyes. Lisa Ann Walter and Simon Kunz are the congenial subplot, butlers of the principal adults, who mirror their bosses with their own romance. Natasha Richardson, usually known for tougher roles, is enormous appealing as the vulnerable albeit successful woman, Dennis Quaid's grin is as fetching as ever, and Lindsay Lohan turns in a striking turn with flawless British and American accents as the girl who puts her folks through an experience twice upon a time.
Rated PG. Running time: 123 minutes. (C) Harvey Karten 1998

Let's define two groups, A and B. \(n_A\) samples are drawn from A, \(n_B\) samples are
drawn
from
B.
\(X_i^A \sim B(p_A)\) is a random variable representing a sample from group A
\(X_i^B\sim B(p_B)\) is a random variable representing a sample from group B
Our goal is to compare \(p_A\) and \(p_B\). Depending on your use case, please choose one of
these
two simple hypothesis tests :
-
A two-tailed test : \(H_0\) : \(p_A = p_B \), \(H_1\) : \(p_A \neq p_B \)
-
A one-tailed test : \(H_0\) : \(p_A = p_B \), \(H_1\) : \(p_A < p_B \)
We assume that all samples are independent so : $$T^A = \sum_{i=1}^{n_{A}} X_i^A \sim
B(n_A,p_A)
$$
$$ T^B = \sum_{i=1}^{n_{B}} X_i^B \sim B(n_B,p_B) $$ We assume that \(T_A\) and \(T_B\) are
independent and \(n_A\) and \(n_B\) are large enough for the
theorem central limit theorem to apply.
According to the theorem central limit, \(T^A \sim N(p_A,n_Ap_A(1-p_A))\) and \(T^B \sim
N(p_B,n_Bp_B(1-p_B))\)
\(\frac{T^A}{n_A}\) and \(\frac{T^B}{n_B}\) are minimum variance unbiased estimator for
\(p_A\)
and
\(p_B\). If we want to test \(H_0\) : \(p_A = p_B \), it makes sense to choose a rejection
region
\(W = \{ |\frac{t^B}{n_B} - \frac{t^A}{n_A} | > t \}\)
for a two-tailed test and \(W' = \{ \frac{t^B}{n_B} - \frac{t^A}{n_A} > t \}\) for a
one-tailed
test.
As \(T^A\) and \(T^B\) are independent: $$ \frac{T^B}{n_B} - \frac{T^A}{n_A} \sim N(p_B-p_A,
\frac{p_A(1-p_A)}{n_A} + \frac{p_B(1-p_B)}{n_B} )$$ Under \(H_0\), \(p_A = p_B = p\), so :
$$
\frac{\frac{T^B}{n_B} - \frac{T^A}{n_A}}{\sqrt{p(1-p)(\frac{1}{n_A}
+ \frac{1}{n_B})}} \sim N(0,1) $$ \(p\) is unknown. However, under \(H_0\), \(\hat{p}=
\frac{T_A+T_B}{n_A+n_B} \) is minimum variance unbiased estimator for \(p\). So this result
is
still
valid when \(p\) is replaced with \(\hat{p}\).
Therefore, the test is built using the random variables \(U_0\) and \(U_1\). Under \(H_0\) :
$$
U_0
= \frac{\frac{T^B}{n_B} -
\frac{T^B}{n_B}}{\sqrt{\frac{T_A+T_B}{n_A+n_B}(1-\frac{T_A+T_B}{n_A +
n_B})(\frac{1}{n_A} + \frac{1}{n_B})}} \sim N(0,1) $$ Under
\(H_1\), the variance of \(U_1\) is the same as under \(H_0\) given the test definition. So
:
$$\frac{T^B}{n_B} - \frac{T^A}{n_A} \sim N(p_B-p_A,p(1-p)(\frac{1}{n_A} + \frac{1}{n_B}))$$
$$U_1 =
\frac{\frac{T^B}{n_B} - \frac{T^A}{n_A}
- (p_B-p_A)}{\sqrt{\frac{T_A+T_B}{n_A+n_B}(1-\frac{T_A+T_B}{n_A + n_B})(\frac{1}{n_A} +
\frac{1}{n_B})}} \sim N(0,1)$$
Let's define the random variable D : $$D = \frac{T^B}{n_B} - \frac{T^A}{n_A} $$
During the design of the experiment, you set minimum values for the statistical significance
and
the
power, respectively \(1-\alpha\) and \(1-\beta\). The sample size is derived from these two
constraints. For a two tailed test, let's find the threshold
value t for the rejection region \(W = \{ |d| > t \}\), given that : $$ \left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
P_{H_{0}}(|D| \leq t) = 1-\alpha & (1) \\ P_{H_{1}}(|D| \leq t) = \beta & (2) \end{array}
\right. $$
Let's derive (1):
We want to find \(t\) such that \(P(|D| \leq t) = 1 - \alpha\ \).
\(U_0\ \sim N(0,1) \), \( \phi \) is the cumulative distribution function of a standard
normal
distribution. \(\forall x \in R, \) $$P(|U_0| \leq x) = 1 - \alpha$$ $$ \Leftrightarrow
P(U_0\leq x)
- P(U_0 \leq -x) = \phi(x) - (1-\phi(-x)) = 1-\alpha $$
\( \phi \) is symetric so: $$ \Leftrightarrow 2\phi(x)-1= 1- \alpha $$ $$\Leftrightarrow
\phi(x)
=
1- \frac{\alpha}{2}$$ $$ \Leftrightarrow x = \phi ^{-1}(1- \frac{\alpha}{2}) =
z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} $$ As a consequence : $$ P(|U_0|\leq
z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} ) = 1 - \alpha $$ As, \(U_0 = \frac{D}{\sigma _p} \), $$
\Leftrightarrow
P(|D| \leq z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sigma_p ) = 1- \alpha $$ with \( \sigma _p^2 =
\frac{p_A(1-p_A)}{n_A} + \frac{p_B(1-p_B)}{n_B}
= \frac{p_A+p_B}{n_A+n_B}(1-\frac{p_A+p_B}{n_A + n_B})(\frac{1}{n_A} + \frac{1}{n_B}) \)
Given (1), $$ \Leftrightarrow t = z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sigma_p $$
Consequently, $$(2) \Leftrightarrow P_{H_1}(|D| \leq z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} \sigma_p ) =
\beta
$$ As
\(U_1 = \frac{D - (p_B-p_A)}{\sigma _p}\) $$\Leftrightarrow P(U_1 \leq
z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} -
\frac{(p_B-p_A)}{\sigma _p}) - P(U_1 \leq - z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}
- \frac{(p_B-p_A)}{\sigma _p}) = \beta $$ If we assume that \(\frac{p_B-p_A}{\sigma_p} \geq
1\),
then : $$ P(U_1\leq - z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}- \frac{(p_B-p_A)}{\sigma_p}) \leq \phi(-1 -
z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}) \simeq 0 $$ So : $$ P(U_1
\leq z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} - \frac{(p_B-p_A)}{\sigma _p}) = \beta $$ Besides : \(\forall x
\in
R,
\) $$ P(U_1 \leq x) = \beta\ $$ $$ \Leftrightarrow x = \phi ^{-1}(\beta) = z_{\beta} =
-z_{1-\beta}
$$ Hence, $$ z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}
- \frac{p_B - p_A}{\sigma _p} = z_{\beta} \quad (a) $$ Let's consider \( \sigma\ \), such as
\(\sigma^2 = p(1-p) \) with \(p = \frac{p_A+p_B}{n_A+n_B} \), and r, the size ratio : \(r =
\frac{n_B}{n_A}\) with \(n_B \leq n_A\) $$\sigma
_p = \sqrt{p(1-p)(\frac{1}{n_A} + \frac{1}{n_B})} = \sqrt{\sigma^2 (\frac{1}{n_A} +
\frac{1}{rn_A})
} \quad (b) $$ Let's note \(\delta \), the minimum detectable effect, \(\delta = p_B-p_A \)
By combining \((a)\) and \((b)\), we obtain the following result for a two tailed test : $$
n_A
=
\frac{r+1}{r} \frac{\sigma^2(z_{1-\frac{ \alpha}{2}}+ z_{1-\beta})^2}{\delta^2}$$ For a one
tailed
test : $$ n_A = \frac{r+1}{r} \frac{\sigma^2(z_{1-\alpha}+
z_{1-\beta})^2}{\delta^2}$$

Were you supposed to be eating healthier in 2016? Have you fallen into the snack wagon? Eating healthy is always high up on the list of the most popular resolutions every year. Goals need details to stick, and OpenStreetMap needs details to grow. Let’s combine the two by adding and enhancing grocery stores in OpenStreetMap. Eating healthy often involves eating more fruit and vegetables. Where do you find those? In the grocery store!
Business listings and other points of interest are slowly gaining momentum in OpenStreetMap. Curious to know how prevalent grocery stores and similar businesses are in OpenStreetmap? Check out this table which includes a dozen cities known for tempting cuisine:
| Grocery Points of Interest* | with Addresses | with Website | with Hours | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auckland | 334 | 6% | 1% | 1% |
| Dublin | 690 | 14% | 4% | 5% |
| Hong Kong | 496 | 6% | 1% | 3% |
| Melbourne | 220 | 35% | 30% | 17% |
| Mexico City | 702 | 8% | 1% | 6% |
| Mumbai | 119 | 7% | 2% | 2% |
| San Francisco | 715 | 47% | 18% | 15% |
| São Paulo | 806 | 22% | 6% | 3% |
| Seoul | 1,069 | 2% | 0.3% | 1% |
| Singapore | 343 | 12% | 6% | 5% |
| Stockholm | 673 | 18% | 17% | 34% |
| Vancouver | 193 | 38% | 11% | 11% |
Seoul leads the pack with the most features where one might find groceries, but lags behind other metros like Melbourne, San Francisco, and Stockholm which include more detailed tags on each store. Lots of opportunities to enhance existing features and add missing ones!
Helpful Tags
If your personal food pyramid is not what you’d like it to be, get inspired by adding or enhancing grocery related businesses in OpenStreetMap! Need some help choosing tags? Here are some suggestions which link to their corresponding OpenStreetMap wiki pages:
- name=*
- addr:housenumber=*
- Types of stores:
- shop=supermarket for large full service grocery stores.
- shop=grocery for traditional groceries stores that are not full service.
- shop=convenience for small local stores.
- shop=greengrocer for stores focused primarily on fruit and vegetables.
- website=*
-
opening_hours=*
- Tips (because the opening_hours tag can be confusing)
- Use military time.
- YES: 06:00-22:00
- NO: 6am to 10pm
- Use two letter day indicators: Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
- YES: Mo-Fr
- NO: Mon thru Fri
- Do not add extra spaces between two letter day indicators or time ranges
- YES: Mo-Fr 06:00-22:00
- NO: Mo - Fr 06:00 - 22:00
- Separate more complex hours with a semicolon
- YES: Mo-Fr 06:00-20:00; Sa-Su 08:00-16:00
- NO: any other separator besides a semicolon!
- Additional examples:
- 24/7
- Mo-Fr 06:00-22:00; Sa-Su 08:00-16:00
- Mo-Su 06:00-22:00; Th off
- Use military time.

Where to Start
Do you shop at the same grocery stores on a regular basis? Enhance those first. Do you pass by a particularly fancy market that you'd like to shop at regular? Save those details in OpenStreetMap for future retrieval. Maybe you just need a kitchen gadget to get you excited to cook again! What is your go-to store for cooking supplies? Explore the OpenStreetMap wiki for the appropriate tags to accompany the new features you would like to add to the map!
Interactive Map
Would it be helpful to see where the current grocery related POIs are in OpenStreetMap? There's a map for that! Hover over any of the bright blue highlighted grocery points of interest to bring up an info bubble with links to editing tools that can be used to add additional tags.
(This map is interactive! Open full screen ➹ )
Is your go-to grocery store missing all together? Shift-click anywhere on the map to open iD or open your favorite OpenStreetMap editor to start mapping!
If you are trying to decide between creating a point or a polygon to represent your grocery store, a point is great when the store is in a building that contains other businesses and/or residences. If your store occupies the entire building, digitize a building polygon if it doesn't already exist and add your tags to it.
Getting Started with OpenStreetMap
Need instructions on how to edit with iD? Here are some links to outstanding tutorials from LearnOSM, the OpenStreetMap wiki, and the United States Department of State's Humanitarian Information Unit:

Editing with a Mobile Device
With points of interest, I bet you are interested in a mobile app to edit OpenStreetMap while you are on the go. iOS users can check out Go Map!! by Bryce Cogswell. This free editor allows you to add features and edit existing features. Check out the Go Map!! wiki page for more details. Pushpin by Fulcrum is another excellent iOS editor for OpenStreetMap points of interest.

Yes, the WiseGuys template is responsive and mobile friendly. That means that it will resize according to the dimensions of your resolution, so it will look impecable on any device, from desktops, notebooks, to tablets and smart phones.
The most innovative designers consciously reject the standard option box and cultivate an appetite for thinking wrong.
Oh yeah, WiseGuys is extremely flexible and highly customizable. The layout can be modified depending on your needs, for example you can opt for boxed layout, or full width layout, or you can choose to use the cool blur effect or not. When opting for image background without the blur, the page title and bread crumbs will conveniently change their position belor the header. The colors can also be easily changed, and on top of that, WiseGuys comes with 10 prebuilt skins to choose from. WiseGuys uses @fontface, so you can use any font you want, and changing the fonts and their styles is a walk in the park. Long story short, you can make WiseGuys look totally different, according to your needs and taste.
WiseGuys contains 36 page templates. WiseGuys is packed with everything you'd want in a template, because we included a complete set of pages to choose from.
WiseGuys contains over 200 shortcodes and elements. That's right, over 200. There probably aren't any elements that WiseGuys doesn't have. Please see the FEATURES menu and navigate through the pages to see all the awesome custom made shortcodes and elements.
In our opinion the JackBox lightbox ($10) is the best lightbox available on the web. It's awesome because it has a lot of really cool features, but it also has a few extremely important features that the other lightboxes out there lack: real responsiveness and real image sharing (that means that when you share an image, you're actually sharing that specific image instead of the whole HTML page like most lightboxes out there do). You can read more about the JackBox on its description page HERE
Long story short, the Revolution Slider ($12) is just awesome. It's so flexible and customizable that we couldn't leave it out of the WiseGuys template. It can do pretty much anything, it can be used as a parallax slider, or as a normal slider; it can animate text and images; it can be transparent or have a background image; it has tons of awesome transitions and it's responsive, and much much more. Please read more about the Revolution Slider on its description page HERE
Oh yeah, Isotope ($25) is really awesome. It is a responsive filterable (sortable) portfolio, and it's a really cool way to showcase works. To make it even cooler, it supports both column and masonry layouts. Read more about Isotope HERE
The contact form we opted for is AJAX Contact Form Extended ($5). We chose this form because it's feature full and flexbile, you can add as many fields as needed, or add drop downs and radio buttons, while having the possibility to make them mandatory or not, but most importantly it uses captcha to avoid spamming. Read more about this awesome contact form on its description page HERE
The WiseGuys template comes with 10 pre-built skins. Although changing the colors in the template is really easy, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for our clients, so we included a 5 color set of SOFT COLORS, and another 5 color set of STRONG COLORS to suit anyone's needs and taste.
Yes, both layered psd (22 files) and layered png files (22 files) are included in the download package. The files are nicely organized and editable.

--- layout: post tags: [Unit Testing] date: 2009-03-10 21:04:38 UTC title: "Specification-Driven Development" --- {% include JB/setup %}
In the last couple of years, there's been a lot of debate in the community on the philosophy behind TDD and where to put the emphasis - even to the point of debating whether the acronym stands for Test-Driven Development or Test-Driven Design.
Other people don't like the emphasis on tests, since that makes TDD sound like a Testing discipline, and not a Development discipline. Instead, they prefer terms like Example-Driven Design/Development (EDD) or even Design by Example (DbE).
This view seems to me to be particularly prevalent in Microsoft, where there's a rather sharp distinction between developers and testers (job titles to the contrary) - I guess that's one of the reasons why xUnit.net (a project initiated by Microsoft employees) uses the attribute Fact instead of Test or TestMethod.
For people used to SCRUM or other agile methodologies, this distinction is more blurred, and they also seem to accept the T in TDD more willingly.
However, the adherents of EDD claim that the mere presence of the word test make some developers block any further input and stop listening. They may be right in that.
They also claim that the tests in TDD/EDD are nothing more than accidental artifacts of the development process, and hence argue that we shouldn't call them tests at all. However, if that's true, this little story related by Ayende must be an example of EDD in its purest form :)
To me, the tests are also important. Since 2003 I've been practicing TDD, and while I love how it helps me arrive at better design, I also savor the safety net that my suite of tests gives me. The tests that I write during TDD define the behavior of the software. In many cases, I'd even claim that such a regression test suite is more valuable than a Quality Assurance (QA) regression test suite - after all, a QA suite may catch some edge cases, but they don't focus on the intended behavior of the system, but often more on how to break it - but I digress…
My recent posts on Executable Specification and Constrained Non-Determinism help explain my current stance in this debate: In my opinion, EDD fails to establish a relationship by not providing Derived Values. After all, what does a test like the following specify?
[TestMethod] public void InvertWillReverseText_Naïve() { // Fixture setup MyClass sut = new MyClass(); // Exercise system string result = sut.Invert("ploeh"); // Verify outcome Assert.AreEqual<string>("heolp", result, "Invert"); // Teardown }
How would you implement the Invert method? Here's one possible implementation:
return "heolp";
Obviously, you could now write a new test that gives a second example of input and outcome and force me to write a more sophisticated algorithm. However, with only two examples, I might still be tempted to write a switch statement with some hard-coded return values until you've written so many ‘examples' that you've coerced me into writing the more general (and correct) algorithm.
Such an approach I find inefficient.
Instead, by using Constrained Non-Determinism to force myself to define Derived Values, each test fully specifies the desired behavior. It doesn't provide examples. It provides the specification, and instead of having to write several similar examples to coerce a general algorithm to emerge, I can usually nail it in a single test.
This approach could be styled Specification-Driven Development, and that's how I've been writing code for the last year or so.
Comments
Thank you for your comment.
First of all: I'm a big believer in the Red/Green/Refactor cycle, so we're totally on the same page there!
As the test in the example stands, the constant "heolp" is most certainly duplicated across test and implementation code, until the point when I decide to implement the Invert method correctly. So far I can only agree, but partially because my example is so simple: Once again I fall into the trap that my example is too simple, but had I made it more complex, I'd have lost my reader(s) long ago.
One or few 'examples' would be enough to clue anyone on to the fact that the intended algorithm of the Invert method is to invert the input. It's fairly obvious.
Imagine, instead, that we're testing a hypothetical CalculateRocketTrajectory method. Yes, we're attempting to implement a Domain Model over rocket science! Unless you are a rocket scientist, it's likely that it's going to take a pretty big amount of 'examples' before you can figure out what is the underlying algorithm. It would be much more efficient if each test could simply specify the relationship between input and output.
Yes, that would lead to a bit of duplication across the test code and the implementation code, but I prefer that to the alternative. In my experience, most software development isn't about algorithm development anyway; it's about API design, Domain Modeling, handling corner cases, moving and transforming data, etc.
This is not to say that I am right and you are wrong. Here, I'm mainly trying to describe what motivates me to work in a certain way, so please feel free to keep the discussion going!
Keep up the nice posts.., enjoying your blog!
Thanks again. You point was valid and well taken.
One of the reasons I find EDD ineffecient stems from my experience with The XP Game, which is enjoyable, but a bit too much on the back-and-forth side for my tastes.
YMMV, so I'm not trying to dictate what anyone should do - I'm just trying to demonstrate that there are more than one way to do TDD.

| DOSE: |

Alcohol |
(liquid) |
Last Saturday I was at a friend's house (let's call him 'A'). We were supposed to be studying for our exam and working on our assignment, but instead we procrastinated. We surfed the web and walked around the block looking for unencrypted wireless networks.
At around 6pm, we decided that we wanted the other guy in our 3-person class to help with the assignment (lets call him 'B'). So we phoned him up and eventually convinced him to come and help us with the assignment.
A's parents weren't home. So instead of studying and working on the assignment, we decided we would get drunk and watch a movie.
It was my first time I had consumed any reasonable amount of alcohol.
So first thing we had was this weird brazillain drink which is supposed to be something like 50-70% alcohol. I had 2 shots. Then, we went through A's parents' alcohol cupboard and poored a tiny bit of every spirits bottle into one glass and I had 2 or 3 shots of that.
It took about 15 minutes to take affect. The movie we watched was 'Pulp Fiction', we watched the DVD in A's computer. Whoa, that's a pretty fucked-up movie. And the whole thing was quite funny. All through it my vision was blurry.
At 11:20pm, the movie finished and we turned up the speakers attached to A's computer to a level that probably woke up all his neighbors, and then played some of his trance music. We did this for about 15 minutes. Then B went home. I stayed for another twenty minutes, then went home. By this time, the effects of the alcohol had worn off, or so I thought.
I went home.
The week that followed was exam block, and it has just ended today. Exam blocks are normally not fun.
I should probably provide some background. I am currently in my final year at high school. I'm not sure when it was exactly, but a couple of months ago I realized how much of a nerd I was and how much I have wasted my life up till this point. And I decided I would change it.
A, B, and me are in a 3-person class at my school studying a very difficult subject. The class has halved in size since the beginning of last year. A and B had social lives, they enjoyed.  And it was just reading it - not actually posting stuff. At the end of last term, I realized how much I had wasted my life and wanted it to change. I will suffice to say that my exploits with the ladies have not been very successful in the past. But through a couple of phone calls I found me a date for the school formal in a couple of weeks time. I'll call her C.
We have dated once, the Friday before the Saturday on which the drinking occurred. We saw a movie, and talked. I was amazed at how nice she was, and how incredibly beautiful. And she was taking me to the formal! I should be happy...Well I was happy about that.
But other than this, little has happened to change my no-social-life problem. A and B are my only real friends at school, and I only have one friend outside of school, it was him who introduced me to C.
Other than this, not much has happened to improve my social-life situation. I have been pressing A and B to find parties for me to go to with them, but so far have not been to any. They have both been going to parties, but their reasons for not telling me about it are different every time. In this past week, I have wondered if they actually care about helping me to get a social life like they say they do.
I am aware that this probably sounds like its going nowhere, but Iím almost getting to the problems that I think the alcohol caused. Just keep reading for few couple more paragraphs.

Now, the past week.
Over the past week, I have been hugely depressed. As in, I don't want to go to school to do my exams, not even for the difficult class (which I get very good marks for). OK, bad example.
I came home at night, and sit in front of my computer.  Wishing I had a social life. Wishing I knew my 'friends' at school a little better. Wishing I could be slightly more relaxed while talking to C. Wishing I had started on the social life thing a year or so earlier.
 Especially in the evenings.
Today I thought it was over, but I realized at about 5pm that in fact it was not. I was hating my life as much as ever. I was wishing I was at a party somewhere, instead of in front of this computer.
I have given this a lot of thought, and I believe it is the fault of the alcohol. There are a lot of things that might be involved here...there's all the stress and worry about doing exams that are important for the rest of my life. But, now the exams are over, and I'm more depressed than ever. And also I had exams for Thursday and Friday of the week before that Saturday.
Still, there's the formal to look forward to. But after that? I don't know. I hope, I really hope, that I can improve on my social standing after that.

A summarizing post about web applications on mezzoblue says:
Of course, nobody seems to be talking about Macromedia's Flex and the continuing application development capabilities within Flash itself. Hindered by stigma that Flash is evil and purely about animation amongst developers that should be buying into Flex, it's hard to see this combination taking off; however, as a dark horse, it's a hard one to ignore on sheer numbers alone. Ninety-odd percent of web users have Flash installed, and Flash renders consistently cross-platform. Remember what Joel reminds us though: it's all about developers.Someone also brought Flash up in the comments of my last post.
There are some really cool Flash applications out there, and a lot of places where Flash is probably an excellent choice of platform. As long as you don't mind being a sharecropper. But it's more than that -- the licensing doesn't just affect developers.
Macromedia's model is one where they have to make developers happy, because developers are the ones who give them money. In their formative years the browsers didn't work to make developers happy, they competed for users, knowing that developers would follow users (this, in a time when users had some choice).
What makes developers happy? Or rather, the people who are always telling developers what to do? Control. "They" (the people who pay us developers) love to define what a user should and shouldn't be able to do. They have a general principle of denying everything that you don't explicitly allow. Who needs a back button? Who needs readable source? Why dissect the application into pieces (aka, pages)? An application might have structure in the IDE, but who cares about the deployed application. They wrote the application to render on one reader (Macromedia's) and they don't need nor care for any intermediate tools.
The result? Flash applications look nice, but they aren't that fun to use outside of small doses. Maybe it's because Flash is stretched when you implement an application using it -- maybe Flex will be better -- but that won't change the basic economics, and who Macromedia answers to. Open source, open standards, and non-commercial infrastructure isn't just good for developers, it's good for users.


First we add the header bar, with the logo and a menu button.

app-logo

See the actual code in the layout
folder of the example below
To take some action when the menu button is clicked we "pass" to the data-ui-options
attribute the options.menuButton
object which is defined in the index.js
like this
menuButton: {
on: {
'menu:open': function() {
// TODO: handle event
},
'menu:close': function() {
// TODO: handle event
}
}
}
Next we add a so called DrawerLayout
which is basically a panel that contains the app menu and it will show in when the menu button is clicked or with a swipe gesture from left edge to the right.

Also for the drawer layout component we pass the options.drawerLayout
object, so we can open/close the menu button as well, when the drawer is open/closed.
drawerOptions: {
on: {
'drawer:open': function(e) {
if (menuButton) menuButton.open();
},
'drawer:close': function(e) {
if (menuButton) menuButton.close();
}
}
}
And the following is the live example (swipe from left edge or click the menu button)
Now if we put a very long content in the page we might want the header to fade out/in as the user scrolls up/down.
For the purpose we load the header_auto_hide
component on the body
element.

And this was the last piece of this mobile app layout
That's it. Things we've been using so far:

Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for AWS Organizations
AWS Organizations (service prefix: organizations
) provides the following service-specific resources, actions, and condition context
keys for use in IAM permission policies.
References:

Learn how to configure this service.
-
View a list of the API operations available for this service.
-
Learn how to secure this service and its resources by using IAM permission policies.
Topics
Actions Defined by AWS Organizations
You can specify the following actions in the Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform
an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or
deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However,
in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively,
some operations require several different actions.
The Resource column indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If
there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then
you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. Required
resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you specify a resource-level
permission ARN in a statement using this action, then it must be of this type.
Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not
indicated as required), then you can choose to use one but not the other.
For details about the columns in the following table, see The Actions Table.
| Actions | Description | Access Level | Resource Types (*required) | Condition Keys | Dependent Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AcceptHandshake | Grants permission to send a response to the originator of a handshake agreeing to the action proposed by the handshake request. | Write | |||

PaintEntity entity,brush
Parameters:
| entity - entity handle brush - brush handle |
Description:
| Paints a entity with a brush. The reason for using PaintEntity to apply specific properties to a entity using a brush rather than just using EntityTexture, EntityColor, EntityShininess etc, is that you can pre-define one brush, and then paint entities over and over again using just the one command rather than lots of separate ones. |

What is FarmTract
This is a smart contract based contract farming system built for companies, government bodies and individual entrepreneurs to make their contracts with farmers. Farmers will provide information like name, contact details, cryptocurrency wallet address (to receive or transfer payment), farm size, evidence of land (land registry number) etc. System will list all the projects based on parameters like region, crops, farm size range, approximate predicted yield etc for the companies.


os.pipe() 方法用于创建一个管道, 返回一对文件描述符(r, w) 分别为读和写。
pipe()方法语法格式如下：
os.pipe()
返回文件描述符对。
以下实例演示了 pipe() 方法的使用：
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import os, sys
print "The child will write text to a pipe and "
print "the parent will read the text written by child..."
# file descriptors r, w for reading and writing
r, w = os.pipe()
processid = os.fork()
if processid:
# This is the parent process
# Closes file descriptor w
os.close(w)
r = os.fdopen(r)
print "Parent reading"
str = r.read()
print "text =", str
sys.exit(0)
else:
# This is the child process
os.close(r)
w = os.fdopen(w, 'w')
print "Child writing"
w.write("Text written by child...")
w.close()
print "Child closing"
sys.exit(0)
执行以上程序输出结果为：
The child will write text to a pipe and the parent will read the text written by child... Parent reading Child writing Child closing text = Text written by child...

An ordered collection of hooks for a particular API call. A hook is a function that has exactly the same signature as a service stub. It will be called before or after an api hook is executed, depending on whether this list is for precall of postcall hooks. Hooks can be used for debugging purposes (check certain pre- or postconditions on api calls) or to apply patches to protocol buffers before/after a call gets submitted.

Constructor.
| def google.appengine.api.apiproxy_stub_map.ListOfHooks.__len__ | ( | self | ) |
Returns the amount of elements in the collection.
| def google.appengine.api.apiproxy_stub_map.ListOfHooks.Append | ( | self, | |
| key, | |||

Invokes all hooks in this collection. NOTE: For backwards compatibility, if error is not None, hooks with 4 or 5 arguments are *not* called. This situation (error=None) only occurs when the RPC request raised an exception; in the past no hooks would be called at all in that case.

Outlining your scene's geometry can give your game a distinctive look, reminiscent of comic books and cartoons.
The process of outlining is the process of finding and labeling discontinuities or differences. Every time you find what you consider a significant difference, you mark it with your line color. As you go about labeling or coloring in the differences, outlines or edges will start to form.
Where you choose to search for the discontinuities is up to you. It could be the diffuse colors in your scene, the normals of your models, the depth buffer, or some other scene related data.
The demo uses the interpolated vertex positions to render the outlines. However, a less straightforward but more typical way is to use both the scene's normals and depth buffer values to construct the outlines.
Like SSAO, you'll need the vertex positions in view space. Referrer back to SSAO for details.
The demo darkens the colors of the scene where there's an outline. This tends to look nicer than a constant color since it provides some color variation to the edges.
// ...
float minSeparation = 1.0;
float maxSeparation = 3.0;
float minDistance = 0.5;
float maxDistance = 2.0;
int size = 1;
vec3 colorModifier = vec3(0.324, 0.063, 0.099);
// ...
The min and max separation parameters control the thickness of the outline depending on the fragment's distance from the camera or depth. The min and max distance control the significance of any changes found. The size
parameter controls the constant thickness of the line no matter the fragment's position. The outline color is based on colorModifier
and the current fragment's color.
// ...
vec2 texSize = textureSize(colorTexture, 0).xy;
vec2 fragCoord = gl_FragCoord.xy;
vec2 texCoord = fragCoord / texSize;
vec4 position = texture(positionTexture, texCoord);
// ...
Sample the position texture for the current fragment's position in the scene. Recall that the position texture is just a screen shaped quad making the UV coordinate the current fragment's screen coordinate divided by the dimensions of the screen.
// ...
float depth =
clamp
( 1.0
- ( (far - position.y)
/ (far - near)
)
, 0.0
, 1.0
);
float separation = mix(maxSeparation, minSeparation, depth);
// ...
The fragment's depth ranges from zero to one. When the fragment's view-space y coordinate matches the far clipping plane, the depth is one. When the fragment's view-space y coordinate matches the near clipping plane, the depth is zero. In other words, the depth ranges from zero at the near clipping plane all the way up to one at the far clipping plane.
Converting the position to a depth value isn't necessary but it allows you to vary the thickness of the outline based on how far away the fragment is from the camera. Far away fragments get a thinner line while nearer fragments get a thicker outline. This tends to look nicer than a constant thickness since it gives depth to the outline.
// ...
float mx = 0.0;
for (int i = -size; i <= size; ++i) {
for (int j = -size; j <= size; ++j) {
// ...
}
}
// ...
Now that you have the current fragment's position, loop through an i by j grid or window surrounding the current fragment.
// ...
texCoord =
( fragCoord
+ (vec2(i, j) * separation)
)
/ texSize;
vec4 positionTemp =
texture
( positionTexture
, texCoord
);
mx = max(mx, abs(position.y - positionTemp.y));
// ...
With each iteration, find the biggest distance between this fragment's and the surrounding fragments' positions.
Calculate the significance of any difference discovered using the minDistance
, maxDistance
, and smoothstep
. smoothstep
returns values from zero to one. The minDistance
is the left-most edge. Any difference less than the minimum distance will be zero. The maxDistance
is the right-most edge. Any difference greater than the maximum distance will be one. For distances between the edges, the difference will be between zero and one. These values are interpolated along a s-shaped curve.
The line color is the current fragment color either darkened or lightened.
The fragment's RGB color is the lineColor
and its alpha channel is diff
.
For a sketchy outline, you can distort the UV coordinates used to sample the position vectors.
Start by creating a RGB noise texture. A good size is either 128 by 128 or 512 by 512. Be sure to blur it and make it tileable. This will produce a nice wavy, inky outline.
The noiseScale
parameter controls how distorted the outline is. The bigger the noiseScale
, the sketchier the line.
// ...
vec2 fragCoord = gl_FragCoord.xy;
vec2 noise = texture(noiseTexture, fragCoord / textureSize(noiseTexture, 0).xy).rb;
noise = noise * 2.0 - 1.0;
noise *= noiseScale;
// ...
Sample the noise texture using the current screen/fragment position and the size of the noise texture. Since you're distorting the UV coordinates used to sample the position vectors, you'll only need two of the three color channels. Map the two color channels from [0, 1]
to [-1, 1]
. Finally, scale the noise by the scale chosen earlier.
// ...
vec2 texSize = textureSize(colorTexture, 0).xy;
vec2 texCoord = (fragCoord - noise) / texSize;
vec4 position = texture(positionTexture, texCoord);
// ...
When sampling the current position, subtract the noise vector from the current fragment's coordinates.
You could instead add it to the current fragment's coordinates which will create more of a squiggly line that loosely follows the geometry.
// ...
texCoord =
(vec2(i, j) * separation + fragCoord + noise)
/ texSize;
// ...
vec4 positionTemp =
texture
( positionTexture
, texCoord
);
// ...
When sampling the surrounding positions inside the loop, add the noise vector to the current fragment's coordinates. The rest of the calculations are the same.
