CrankyCritic® movie reviews: Stir of Echoes Rated [R], 107 minutes Starring Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, Illeana Douglas, Kevin Dunn, Zachary David Cope Based on the novel by Richard Matheson Written and Directed by David Koepp website:http://www.stirofechoes.com
There's a big difference between knowing the "how" of a situation and the "why," which is the case in Stir of Echoes, which begins as somewhat of a ghost story and wraps as a murder mystery. As with an unrelated earlier flick of this past summer, once again there is a kidlet who talks to ghosts. A more intriguing bit of background about the boy's talents seems to have been left in the original novel by Richard Matheson. It's hinted at in writer/director David Koepp's screenplay, but those hints are left tantalizingly dangling and, as always, we don't compare to the Source Material. But we're pretty well intrigued . . .
Stir of Echoes drops us smack in the middle of a nice, law abiding blue collar Chicago neighborhood.  Also in the picture is Maggie's sister Lisa (Illeana Douglas), whom Tom, to put it kindly, tolerates. One night at a party, Tom allows Lisa to hypnotize him knowing that he'll probably be made to prance around like a chicken. That may have been the case but, when all is done, Tom comes away a different person. He is tormented at random by dreadful and horrible images -- there's no slice n dice in this flick but a pair of gruesome fast cuts will make you reel in shock -- and becomes prescient, sensing things as they are happening or are about to happen. While these blasts of images seem to foretell the future, they don't provide enough information to clue him in on what he can do about it. Net result? Tom goes, to all intents and appearances, crackers.
They should have seen it coming -- it runs in the family.
The grownups thought kidlet Jake had an "imaginary" friend named Samantha. But she passes information to Jake that no one could know. That leads to some very hairy moments when it turns out that Samantha was real, a neighborhood kid who disappeared some months before. Jake's got some other abilities, too. He seems to be "connected," seemingly at random, to strangers. He is on a first name basis with people he has never met and one of them, one of Chicago's finest, clues Maggie in to an entire world of "openers," people with connections to the "other side". Jake is one. So, now, is Tom. And damn if Cranky didn't want to know more about this aspect of the story, but that is not to be. The main story of this movie is the total crackup of this lineman for the county and his link to the girl who disappeared months before.   As I wrote earlier, knowing the how doesn't mean you'll know the why. Stir of Echoes has enough depth that you'll still be interested in discovering the details that you haven't copped to earlier. Kevin Bacon's Tom cracks up beautifully, but Cranky found himself aware that there was just too much of it, almost as if the story stopped so we could watch the actor act. Luckily, Kathryn Erbe's Maggie keeps everything on an even keel as we watch how her loving wife deals with the collapse of everything she's known.
On average, a first run movie ticket will run you Eight Bucks. Were Cranky able to set his own price to Stir of Echoes, he would have paid...
$4.50
A little less than dateflick level. Overall, Cranky liked Stir of Echoes, enough to reco a theater ticket though you won't feel cheated if you wait for pay per view.

First steps with Vert.x and Infinispan PUSH API (Part 2)
Welcome to the second in a multi-part series of blog posts about creating Eclipse Vert.x applications with Infinispan. In the previous blog post we have seen how to create a REST API. The purpose of this tutorial is to showcase how to create a PUSH API implemented with Vert.x and using Infinispan as a server.
All the code of this tutorial is available in this GitHub repository. The backend is a Java project using Maven, so all the needed dependencies can be found in the pom.xml. The front is a super simple react application.
PUSH API
Creating a REST API is very straightforward. But today, even if we are heavily using REST, we don’t always want to use request/response or polling, but instead we want to push directly from the server to the client. In this example, we are going to create an API that pushes every new value inserted in the default cache of Infinispan. These values are cute names, as we did in the REST API example.
We are using two features here :
-
Infinispan client listeners
-
Vert.x bridge between the Event Bus and the browser
Infinispan Listeners provide a way to the client get notified when something happens in a cache.
The Event Bus Bridge that connects to the browser, uses SockJS. SockJS is a JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket API, but it can be used with browsers that don’t support web-sockets (see the website of the project for more detailed information). Vert.x supports this library and creates a bridge between your browser and your back-end easily through the Event Bus.
Creating an Event Bus bridge
Vert.x is a reactive framework, which means that uses RxJava too, and provides a fancy API on top of it.
First, we are going to create a new verticle called SendCuteNamesAPI. This verticle extends the CacheAccessVerticle we created in the previous blog post. CacheAccessVerticle initialises the connection with Infinispan using the Hot Rod protocol.
Now we need to create a SocketJSHandler. This handler has a method called bridge, where we configure some BridgeOptions. Obviously we don’t want the client to be able to read everything traveling on the event bus, and this won’t happen. We configure an address, 'cute-names', and we add the permission to read and write to this address.
This handler is passed to the event bus route, where the path is /eventbus/*.
Finally, we create a http server as we did in the REST API example. The difference is that instead of calling listen method, we call rxListen and subscribe.
Getting notified and publishing
Using Infinispan listeners is very easy.
First, we are going to create a class that has the @ClientListener annotation. The client listener has to be added to the cache client configuration. We add a protected method called addConfigToCache that will be called just after the initialisation of the defaultCache in the abstract CacheAccessVerticle. Verticles extending the abstract class can now add custom configuration to the client.
We want to be notified when a new entry is created. In this case, our listener has to contain a method with the @ClientCacheEntryCreated annotation on it. The signature of the method has to include a ClientCacheEntryCreatedEvent<String> parameter. This parameter will hold the 'key' of the entry that has been created.
Finally, we use the key to retrieve the name using the getAsync method and then publish the value in the Vert.x event bus to the address where the socket listener is permitted to read : cute-names.
Now we can run the main method and whenever we post a new name, we will see in the logs that the client listener is notified!
Client code
We are going to create a super simple react application that will just display hello. React community is huge, so there are lot’s of tutorials out there to create a hello world client application. This application has a single component that displays "Hello".
The react application runs calling npm install and npm start in http://localhost:9000/.
Now we need to connect the client to the backend with SockJS. Vert.x provides a JavaScript library for that: vertx3-eventbus-client, built on top of SockJS. We create an EventBus object that will connect to http://localhost:8082/eventbus as we configured in the SendCuteNamesAPI. We register a handler on the 'cute-names' address. The body of the message will contain the new cute name published in the event bus. Every time the handler is called, we update the component’s state, and it will be rendered.
Wrap up
We have learned how to create PUSH APIs with Vert.x, powered by Infinispan. The repository has some unit tests. Feedback is more than welcome to improve the code and the provided examples. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial ! On the next tutorials we will talk about Infinispan as the cluster manager for Vert.x. Stay tuned !

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer names Man Utd winger Daniel James as "best in the world"
Daniel James has been a revelation at Man Utd since his summer transfer from Swansea - forming a dangerous front three with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial
by Alex SmithOle Gunnar Solskjaer has branded Daniel James as the "best defensive winger in the world".
Wales international James moved to Manchester United from Swansea in the summer for £15million - having never previously played in the Premier League.
James has become a vital cog in Solskjaer's attack, having recently created an attacking trident with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
He has netted three times in 12 appearances in the league and has earned the praise of Solskjaer.
When asked if he was surprised by James since his arrival, Solskjaer said: "Not really because when you sit down and speak to the boy you can see an ambitious, driven boy who knows what he wants.
"He is very analytical and is critical of himself, so he is the right type. The attributes are what you see first. His speed, his one-against-one skills.
"He is probably the best defensive winger in the world with his honesty, commitment and the way he does his recovery runs and doing his back tackles.
"It is unbelievable, but that is also base for his attacking football because it gives him the space to run into, so I am not that surprised, though very pleased, of course.
"He is only going to improve by the coaching and the exposure he gets at Old Trafford because when you are not fazed by (being) a Manchester United player then the limit must be sky-high."
"When you're attacking quickly as we do we don't have time to doubt ourselves. The players now are confident, good form and are playing freely and on instinct.
"I was an attacker and I know when I've been struggling for confidence you take an extra touch or think twice that's the period we went through six weeks ago, now it feels like if you give us the ball we will have a go."

twilio
makes it easy for developers to add voice, SMS, and VoIP functionality
into web and native mobile apps.
Your app probably has one of these:
http://myapp.com
twilio gives it one of these:
(612) 867-5309
With twilio you can:
- Build a custom phone support system
- Send daily deals via SMS to customers
- Instantly connect customers on your website to sales reps with a voice call
- Let mobile users chat in a private conference call while using your app
Every human enterprise is based on communication.
Talk is cheap!
(let's make some phones ring...)
HOLY BISCUITS
(told you it was easy)
Doing is for DOers
- At twilio, we celebrate the DOers
- This workshop is for DOers
- Code > Slides
- Results > Theory
Challenge #1
Press 0 to Talk to a Human
- Use Case: Simple Call Forwarding
-
Requirements:
- User dials in to a corporate number
- User selects a person or department by pressing a button
- System connects caller to that person or department
Stuff you'll need to know:
- Webhooks
- TwiML
- Where to look when things break
Webhooks
Webhooks are user-defined callbacks that
allow event-driven interaction between two applications over HTTP.
- Assume a Service and a Consumer of that Service.
- The Consumer wants to be notified when Some Event happens inside the Service.
- The Consumer defines a URL to be requested by the Service over HTTP when Some Event happens.
twilio provides webhooks for voice calls and text messages
- You purchase a phone number from twilio
- For each phone number, you specify webhooks for incoming voice calls and text messages
- When twilio receives a phone call or SMS to your number, the URLs you specified are requested over HTTP
What does twilio tell you about incoming calls?
Your URL is sent POST or GET parameters that contain information like:
- The number calling/texting
- a unique ID for the call/text
- the body of a text message
- location information for the caller (if available)
How do you tell twilio how to handle incoming calls and texts?
TwiML
Your webhook URL should return an XML document that contains instructions for how you want
to handle the call or text. The set of XML tags twilio
understands is called TwiML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Response>
<Say voice="woman">Hello, world!</Say>
</Response>
What can TwiML tell twilio to do?
A small sample...
| <Say> |
Say a string of text, using our built in text-to-speech engine |
| <Gather> |
Gather input from the user via DTMF tones (generated by pressing buttons on a standard
phone).
|
| <Dial> |
Dial a specific number or VoIP client, connecting the caller with that number/client.
|
| <Sms> |
Send an SMS text message to the incoming caller/text-er or another number.
|
Things don't always work out like you planned
If there is an error in your TwiML or somewhere in telecom land,
check the logs.
There's usually detailed information there.

TwiML Applications
-
Re-use TwiML webhook configuration across multiple numbers.
Manage TwiML apps here.
-
Also used to instruct VoIP clients on what to do when a connection is made.
Twilio Client SDKs
- Enable VoIP communications with soft and traditional phones
- Available for iOS, Android, and the browser
- Browser version uses WebRTC if available, Flash if not
- Get Started with iOS
- Get Started with Android
- Get Started with JavaScript (browser)
Capability Tokens
Twilio Client relies on "capability tokens" to sign communications from devices to Twilio.
These tokens are a secure way of setting up your device to access various features of Twilio.
These tokens must be generated on a server, then sent to the browser or mobile device to authorize
a client.
Outgoing Calls
If a client needs to make outgoing calls, it needs the "allowClientOutgoing" permission:
require 'rubygems'
require 'twilio-ruby'
# put your own account credentials here:
account_sid = 'AC043dcf9844e13758bc3a36a84c29761'
auth_token = '{auth token}'
# set up
capability = Twilio::Util::Capability.new account_sid, auth_token
# allow outgoing calls to this TwiML application
capability.allow_client_outgoing 'AP89a0180a1a4ddf1da954efca349b7a20'
# generate the token string
@token = capability.generate
Incoming Calls
If a client needs to accept incoming calls, it needs the "allowClientIncoming" permission:
require 'rubygems'
require 'twilio-ruby'
# put your own account credentials here:
account_sid = 'AC043dcf9844e13758bc3a36a84c29761'
auth_token = '{auth token}'
# set up
capability = Twilio::Util::Capability.new account_sid, auth_token
# allow incoming calls to this client name:
capability.allow_client_incoming 'andrew' #could be anything
# generate the token string
@token = capability.generate
Browser Configuration
The capability token is used to initialize the client in the browser like so:
Twilio.Device.setup(token);
// Make an outgoing call using the configured TwiML application
Twilio.Device.connect();
Challenge #3
Making It Rain
- Use Case: Click To Call
-
Requirements:
- A customer arrives on your website
- Customer clicks a button to talk to sales
- The customer is connected in their browser to a sales rep on the phone
Plan of Attack
- Create a TwiML application with a Voice URL set to a server you control
- Write a Ruby endpoint which will return a TwiML document with a Dial command (your sales rep)
- Display a web page with a "click to call" button, using a server-generated capability token
- Initiate a phone call with Twilio Client to your "sales rep"
Wrapping Up
- twilio wants to help you change communications forever
- Every application has an opportunity to communicate with users better
- Phone, voice, and SMS interactions can be every bit as valuable as interactions on a screen

Detection of a new mutant alpha-1-antichymotrypsin in patients with occlusive-cerebrovascular disease.
A new mutant alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (variant ACT) was found by direct sequencing and PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). This variant ACT was a point mutation of exon V of ACT, with the substitution of Met by Val. Four out of six individuals with this variant ACT had occlusive-cerebrovascular disease, leading to one hypothesis that there might be an association between this mutation and occlusive-cerebrovascular disease.

countName|fieldValues|count|In some cases, counts will be known to be incorrect for legitimate reasons. In that case, additional fields can be added to explain the failure for comparison and reporting purposes. In this event, those lines that require explaining will have this format:
countName|fieldValues|count|adjustmentCount|authority|reason|The system supports one special reason, the literal value "NOT LOADED". It is used to indicate that certain data appearing in early stages (e.g. the original, native file stage) is counted but not loaded into further stages. The special value is used by the comparison tools to avoid comparing these values; favoring, instead, to simply report them as being counted but not loaded.
SELECT 'object1_tally', value1, value2, value3, count(*) ctThis will result in count file entries like this:
FROM <domain object1>
GROUP BY value1, value2, value3;

In some cases, we are merely interested in counting the number of
instances of a of domain object and we do not care about grouping by
field. These cases are equivalent to a queries like this:SELECT 'object1Tally', null, count(*) ctIn this case, the value field will be empty. Thus, it will result in a count file entry like this:
FROM <domain object1>;
object1Count||ct|Note: sometimes fields being counted will have either null values. In that case, the literal value "null" should be used in the output file.

 It can be used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. Handicaps are administered by golf clubs or national golf associations. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country.
Handicap systems are not used in professional golf.
A handicap is calculated with a specific arithmetic formula that approximates how many strokes more than par a player should be able to play. The R&A (now a separate organization from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club), based in St Andrews, Scotland, is responsible for the authorization of handicap systems in all golf playing countries except the United States and Mexico, where United States Golf Association rules apply. The administration of handicapping systems in countries affiliated to the R&A is the responsibility of the national golf associations, which are affiliated to the R&A. The two governing bodies specify slightly different ways to perform this calculation for players. The details of these calculations are presented below.
A golfer's net score is determined by subtracting the player's handicap from the gross score (the number of strokes actually taken). The net scores of all the competing golfers are compared and (generally) the lowest score wins.
A player's handicap is intended to show a player's potential, not his average score, as is the common belief. A player will play to his handicap less than 25% of the time. The USGA refers to this as the "average best" method. So in a large, handicapped competition, the golfer who shoots the best with respect to his abilities and the normal variations of the score should win.
While there are many variations in detail, handicap systems are generally based on calculating an individual player's playing ability from his recent history of rounds. Therefore, a handicap is not fixed but is regularly adjusted to increases or decreases in a player's scoring.
A golfer whose handicap is zero is called a "scratch golfer." A golfer whose handicap is 18 is called a "bogey golfer." It is possible to have a handicap below 0; these are referred to as 'plus' handicaps, and at the end of the round, a 'plus' handicap golfer must add his handicap to his score. A professional golfer plays off scratch, but has no actual handicap.
In the United States, handicaps are calculated using several variables: The player's scores from his most recent rounds, and the course rating and slope from those rounds. A "handicap differential" is calculated from the scores, using the course slope and rating, and the player's handicap differentials are used to calculate the player's handicap.

Tables:
Anything between /* and */ is considered comment. This comment can be nested (unlike C and C++). Everything following // up to the end of the line is also comment, but is ignored inside /* ... */ type comment. So nested comment is possible:
The following keywords are reserved:
The index of each row is one higher than the previous row. Within each row, the column index of an element is one higher than that created with the previous element in the same row.
An integer range may be specified, e.g. 2:5 corresponds to 2,3,4,5. The range may decrease, so that 5.3:2.8 corresponds to 5.3,4.3,3.3.
A stepsize may be specified, as in 2:[2]8, which gives 2,4,6,8.
A specific element in the matrix can be set. This overrides the location implicit in the position of the element in the matrix constant. Note that the top left element is [0][0], the second element in the first row [0][1], etc.
A number of identical elements can be specified, e.g. [3]*0 corresponds to 0,0,0. Unspecified elements are set to zero.
As an example involving all types, consider:
which corresponds to:
Missing values in a matrix constant could be represented with a dot or .NaN, which represents NaN (Not a Number), e.g.:
Similarly, .Inf represents infinity. An empty matrix can be writen as:
A string constant is a text enclosed in double quotes, for example: "tailor". Adjacent string constants are concatenated. A null character is always appended to indicate the end of a string. The maximum length of a string constant is 1024 characters.
An array constant is a list of constants in braces, separated by a comma. This is a recursive definition, because the constant can itself be an array constant. The terminating level consists of non-array constants. Each level of array constants creates an array of references. For example:
Variables in Ox are implicitly typed, and can change type during their lifetime. The life of a variable corresponds to the level of its declaration. Its scope is the section of the program in which it can be seen. Scope and life do not have to coincide.
There are three basic types and four derived types.
When a double is converted to an int, the fractional part is discarded; if the resulting value cannot be represented, the behaviour is undefined. When an int is converted to a double, the nearest representation will be used. For example, conversion to int of 1.3 and 1.7 will be 1 on both occasions.
Variables declared at the start of a statement block have scope and life restricted to the block. These variables are called automatic: they are created and initialized whenever the block is entered, and removed as soon as the block is exited. Variables declared outside any statement block have global scope and life; these are called static. Note that Ox assignment of arithmetic types and string type implies copying over the contents from the right-hand side to the left-hand side. Automatic variables of any type can be assigned to variables with broader scope.
An Ox program consists of a sequence of external declarations. These either reserve storage for an object, or serve to inform of the existence of objects created elsewhere. Each program must define one function called main, where execution of the program will start. The return value from main (if any) is returned to the console window.
An enumeration defines a list of integer constants. By default, the first member will have value 0, and each successive member will have a value of one plus that of the previous member. The value of a member can be set by assigning it a constant integer value.
Enumerator names only exist in the file in which they occur. Enumerations should be placed in header files if they need to be shared between several source files.
Here are some examples with corresponding values:
External variable declarations (i.e. declared outside a function) create global variables: such variables exist while the program runs. The static specifier restricts the scope of the declared object to the remainder of the file. Although it will exist throughout the program's life, it cannot be seen from other files.
The extern specifier informs the remainder of the file that the object can be accessed, although defined (created) in another file. The extern and static specifiers are mutually exclusive. External declarations are most conveniently placed in header files.
A const object can only be initialized once, and not changed thereafter. The use of serial is explained in this section. The const and serial qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
The static or extern specifier and the const qualifier preceding an external variable declaration list applies to all variables in the list. Each identifier creates space for an object with global lifetime, unless declared extern or const.
A const object must be initialized (unless declared extern) but its value may not be changed thereafter. Unless declared extern, a const object cannot be accessed from other files. If of scalar type, a const can appear in a constant-expression.
At the external level of declarations, as treated here, it is possible to specify a matrix size, and initialize that matrix to zero. If an external variable is created without explicit value and without dimensions, it will default to an int with value 0. Here are some examples:
A function declaration communicates the number of arguments and their types to a file, so that the function can be called correctly from that file. The actual creation of the function is done through a function definition (which at the same time declares the function). A function can be declared many times, but type and number of arguments must always be identical:
A function definition specifies the function header and body, and declares the function so that it can be used in the remainder of the file. A function can be declared many times, but defined only once.
The use of const is recommended: arguments declared const can be referenced, but cannot be changed inside the function. If the argument is a const reference, the reference cannot be changed, but what it references can. The decl keyword is optional in front of an argument. An empty argument list indicates that the function takes no arguments at all. The ... indicates a variable number of arguments; it must have the last position in the header, but cannot be the first.
All function arguments are passed by value. This means that a copy of the actual object is made (although the compiler will avoid this internally if the argument is not assigned to). For int, double, matrix and string types the whole object is copied. Any changes to the copy are lost as soon as the function returns. Derived types are accessed through a reference, and that reference is passed by value. However, what is pointed to may be changed, and that change will remain in effect after function return. So passing references allows a function to make a permanent change to a variable, for examples see function calls. It is good practice to label an argument const if a function doesn't change the variable.
All functions may have a return value, but this return value need not be used by the caller.
The return statement returns a value from the function, and also exits the function. So, when the program flow reaches a return statement, control returns to the caller, without executing the remainder of the function.
The syntax of the return statement is:
return return_value ;
Or, to exit from a function which does not have a return value:
return;
The following example illustrates the use of return:
Default values for function arguments can be supplied, subject to the following constraints
A special library function va_arglist() is used to access arguments in the variable argument list. It returns the arguments supplied for the ellipse as an array. An example illustrates:
which prints vararg 0: tailor vararg 1: soldier.
The executable part of a program consists of a sequence of statements. Expression statements are expressions or function calls.
The conditional expression in an if statement is evaluated, and if it evaluates to true (for a matrix: no element evaluates to false), the statement is executed. Zero (0), the empty matrix (<>) and a missing value (.NaN) all evaluate to false.
The conditional expression may not be a declaration statement.
Some examples for the if statement:
Each else part matches the closest previous if, but this can be changed by using braces. When coding nested ifs, it is advisable to use braces to make the program more readable and avoid potential mistakes.
Further examples involving matrices are given in equality expressions.
A switch statement is a compact way of writing a sequence of if statements involving the same variable for comparison:
which prints: "one". There is a sequence of case blocks, and an optional default block, which must be the last. The break statement jumps out of the switch statement. Here, the value of i is compared to each value in turn, until a comparison is true. Then all the statements for that case and all subsequent cases are executed (including the default) until a break is encountered. If no case is true, the default statements are executed. So, once inside a case, we automatically fall through to the next case. The advantage is that several cases can be grouped together:
printing one,two when i is 1 or 2. The drawback is that is easy to forget the break statements, and get unexpected results. The following code
will print when i equals zero:
To emphasize that distinction, and allow for more readable code, Ox also has the switch_single statement. Then, one and only one case (or default) is executed:
The while statement excutes the substatement as long as the test expression is nonzero (for a matrix: all elements are nonzero). The test is performed before the substatement is executed.
The do statement executes the substatement, then repeats this as long as the test expression is nonzero (for a matrix: all elements are nonzero). The test is performed after the substatement is executed. So for the do statement the substatement is executed one or more times, whereas for the while statement this is zero or more times.
The for expression: for (init_expr; test_expr ; increment_expr) statement corresponds to:
Note that, when the init_expr is a declaration statement, the declaration is local to the for statement.
The foreach expression is used to loop over all elements in a matrix, array or string. The most simple form:
implements a loop over all elements in the collection. The following restrictions apply to the foreach loop:
Some examples:
The return statement exits the function; if it is followed by an expression, the value of the expression is returned to the caller, see returning values.
A continue statement may only appear within an iteration statement and causes control to pass to the loop-continuation portion of the smallest enclosing iteration statement.
The use of goto should be kept to a minimum, but could be useful to jump out of a nested loop, jump to the end of a routine or when converting Fortran code. It is always possible to rewrite the code such that no gotos are required.
A break statement may only appear within an iteration statement and terminates the smallest enclosing iteration statement.
Two examples:
Declarations at the external level were discussed before. Here we treat declaration within a block.
Declaration statements create a `local' variable for further manipulation as long as it stays within scope. The created object is removed as soon as the block in which it was created is exited. Variables can be intitialized in a declaration statement. Variables in Ox are implicitly typed, and their type can change during program execution. Non-externally declared variables must be initialized before they can be used in an expression. It is not possible to specify matrix dimension as can be done at the external level, so instead of decl ma[3][3] = 1.5 write decl ma = constant(1.5,3,3). Unlike C, declaration statements do not have to occur at the start of a block. Consider for example:
Variables declared in an inner block hide variables in the outer block.
A for loop is canonical if:
Table syn.2 gives a summary if the operators available in Ox, together with their precedence (in order of decreasing precedence) and associativity. The precedence is in decreasing order. Operators on the same line have the same precedence, in which case the associativity gives the order of the operators. Note that the order of evaluation of expressions is not fully specified. In:
it is unknown whether a or b is called first.  Several operators require an lvalue, which is a region of memory to which an assignment can be made. Note that an object which was declared const is not an lvalue. Many operators require operands of arithmetic type, that is int, double or matrix.
The most common operators are dot-operators (operating element-by-element) and relational operators (operating element by element, but returning a single boolean value). The resulting value is given Tables syn.3 and syn.4 respectively. In addition, there are special matrix operations, such as matrix multiplication and division; the result from these operators is explained below. A scalar consists of: int, double or 1 x 1 matrix.
An expression in parenthesis is a primary expression. Its main use is to change the order of evaluation, or clarify the expression.
An expression in curly braces creates an array of the comma-separated expressions.
All types of constants form a primary expression.
The operator :: followed by an identifier references a variable declared externally. Examples are given. A class name followed by :: and a function member of that class references a static function member, or any function member if preceded by an object reference.
The this reference is only available inside non-static class member functions, and points to the object for which the function was called.
The -> operator selects a member from an object reference. The left-hand expression must evaluate to a reference to an object, the right-hand expression must result in a member of that object.
A function call is a postfix expression consisting of the function name, followed in parenthesis by a possibly empty, comma-separated list of assignment expressions. All argument passing is by value, but when an array is passed, its contents may be changed by the function (unless they are const). The order of evaluation of the arguments is unspecified; all arguments are evaluated before the function is entered. Recursive function calls are allowed. A function must be declared before it can be called, and the number of arguments in the call must coincide with the number in the declaration, unless the declaration has ... as the last argument.
Some examples:
In the latter example a will have been changed by func3. Function arguments are passed by giving the name of the function:
Note that the parentheses in func5() indicate that it is a function call, whereas lack of brackets just passes the function itself.
Vector types (that is, string or matrix) and array types are indexed by postfixing square brackets. A matrix can have one or two indexes, a string only one. For an array type it depends on the level of indirection. Note that indexing always starts at zero. So a 2 by 3 matrix has elements:
Three ways of indexing are distinguished:
In the first indexing case (allowed for all non-scalar types), the expression inside square brackets must have scalar type, whereby double is converted to integer.
Vector types may also be indexed by a matrix or have a range expression inside the brackets. In a matrix index to a string the first column of the matrix specifies the selected elements of the string.
It is possible to use only one index to a matrix. If a matrix x is a column or row vector, x[i] it will pick the ith element from the vector. If x is a matrix, it will treat the matrix as a vector (row by row, which corresponds to the vecr).
If a matrix is used as an index to a matrix, then each element (row by row, i.e. the vecr of the argument) is used as an index. As a consequence, indexing by a column vector or its transpose (a row vector) has the same effect. A matrix in the first index selects rows, a matrix in the second index selects columns. The resulting matrix is the intersection of those rows and columns.
A range index has the form start-index : end-index. Either the start-index or the end-index may be missing, which results in the lower-bound or upper-bound being used respectively. An empty index selects all elements. The resulting type from a range or empty index is always a vector type.
Indexing beyond the end will result in a fatal run-time error. An exception is indexing a string for reference: this can be done one position beyond the end, which returns 0. For example, i=s[sizeof(s)] sets i to 0.
Some examples:
A postfix expression followed by ++ or -- leads to the value of the expression being evaluated and then incremented or decremented by 1. The operand must be an lvalue and must have arithmetic type. For a matrix the operator is applied to each element separately. The result of the expression is the value prior to the increment/decrement operation.
The postfix operator ' takes the transpose of a matrix. It has no effect on other arithmetic types of operands. Note that the single quote is also used in a character constant; the context avoids any ambiguity:
The operands of the power operator must have arithmetic type, and the result is given in the table. If the first operand is not a matrix .^ and ^ are the same.
When a and b are integers, then a ^ b is an integer if b >= 0 and if the result can be represented as a 32 bit signed integer. If b < 0 and a != 0 or the integer result would lead to overflow, the return type is double, giving the outcome of the floating point power operation.
The first line in the example shows that power has higher precedence than unary minus:
A prefix expression preceded by ++ or -- leads to the lvalue being incremented or decremented by 1. This new value is the result of the operation. The operand must be an lvalue and must have arithmetic type. For a matrix the operator is applied to each element separately.
The operand of the unary minus operator must have arithmetic type, and the result is the negative of the operand. For a matrix each element is set to its negative. Unary plus is ignored.
The operand of the logical negation operator must have arithmetic type, and the result is 1 if the operand is equal to 0 and 0 otherwise. For a matrix, logical negation is applied to each element. Negating a missing value returns 0, and negating an empty matrix returns an empty matrix.
The operand of the address operator & must be an lvalue. In addition, it must be an object: it is possible to take the address of a class object, a function, or an array element, but not of a matrix element. The result is an array of one element, pointing to the region of space occupied by the lvalue. Referencing works through arrays; unlike C and C++ (but like the Java programming language), Ox does not have pointers. Some examples were in the section on function calls.
The new operator can be used to create an object of a class, or to create a matrix, string or array. The delete operator removes an object created by new. Note that matrices, strings and arrays are automatically removed when they go out of scope; this is not the case for objects. A class object, on the other hand, must be removed explicitly using the delete operator. If not, it will exist until the program terminates (which may be acceptable). Only one or two array levels at a time can be created by new; however, delete removes all sublevels. A string created by new consists of null characters, a matrix will have all elements zero. Matrix, string and array objects with dimension zero are allowed (this can be useful to start concatenation in an iterative loop; remember that an empty matrix constant is <>, and an empty array {}). Matrices and arrays can be created with either one or two dimensions.
Examples involving objects of classes are given.
The operators **, *, .*, /, and ./ group left-to-right and require operands of arithmetic type. Strings are not allowed. These operators conform to Table syn.3, except for:
This implies that * ** are the same as .* when one or both arguments are scalar, and similarly for / and ./ when the right-hand operand is not a matrix.
The binary * operator denotes multiplication. If both operands are a matrix, this is matrix multiplication and the number of columns of the first operand has to be identical to the number of rows of the second operand.
The .* operator defines element by element multiplication. It is only different from * if both operands are a matrix (these must have identical dimensions, however, if one or both of the arguments is a 1 x 1 matrix, * is equal to .*).
The product of two integers remains an integer. This means that overflow could occur (when it would not occur in operations where one of the argument is a double). For example 5000 * 50000 fits in an integer and yields 250,000,000, but 50000 * 50000 overflows, yielding -1.794,967,296. When using double arithmetic: 50000.0 * 50000 = 2500,000,000.0.
The binary / operator denotes division. If the second operand is a matrix, this is identical to post-multiplication by the inverse (if the matrix is square the matrix is inverted using the invert() library function; if that fails, or the matrix is non-square, the generalized inverse is used). If the second operand is a scalar, each element of the first is divided by it. If the first operand is a scalar, it is multiplied by the inverse of the second argument.
The ./ operator defines element by element division. If either argument is not a matrix, this is identical to normal division. It is only different from / if both operands are a matrix (these must have identical dimensions).
Note that / does not support integer division (such as e.g. 3 / 2 resulting in 1). In Ox, the result of dividing two integers is a double (3 / 2 gives 1.5). Integer division can be performed using the idiv library function. The remainder operator (% in C and C++) is supported through the library function imod. Multiplication of two integers returns an integer.
Some examples of multiplication and division involving matrices:
Notice the difference between 2./ m2 and 2 ./ m2. In the first case, the dot is interpreted as part of the real number 2., whereas in the second case it is part of the ./ dot-division operator. The white space is used here to change the syntax (as in the example in transpose); it would be more clear to write the second case as 2.0 ./ m2. The same difference applies for dot-multiplication, but note that 2.0*m2 and 2.0.*m2 give the same result.
The additive operators + and - are dot-operators, conforming to Table syn.3. The exception is that adding strings amounts to concatenation, and subtraction involving strings is not allowed. Both operators group left-to-right. They respectively return the sum and the difference of the operands, which must both have arithmetic type. Matrices must be conformant in both dimensions, and the operator is applied element by element. For example:
If both operands have arithmetic type, the concatenation operators are used to create a larger matrix out of the operands. If both operands are scalar the result is a row vector (for ~) or a column vector (for |). If one operand is scalar, and the other a matrix, an extra column (~) or row (|) is pre/appended. If both operands are a matrix, the matrices are joined. Note that the dimensions need not match: missing elements are set to zero (however, a warning is printed of non-matching matrices are concatenated). Horizontal concatenation has higher precedence than vertical concatenation.
Two strings or an integer and a string can be concatenated, resulting in a longer string. Both horizontal and vertical concatenation yield the same result.
The result is most easily demonstrated by examples:
The first two lines could have been written as:
In the latter case, the matrix and string are created at compile time, whereas in the former case this is done at run time. Clearly, the compile time evaluation is more efficient. However, only the concatenation expressions can involve non-constant variables:
Array concatenation results in an array with combined size, with assignment of each member of both arrays to the new array.
This prints:
Often, concatenation is required in a loop. In that case, it is convenient to start from a matrix of dimension zero, for example:
The relational operators are <, <=, >, >=, standing for `less', `less or equal', `greater', `greater or equal'. They all yield 0 if the specified relation is false, and 1 if it is true. The type of the result is always an integer, see Table syn.4. If both operands are a matrix the return value is true if the relation holds for each element. If one of the operands is of scalar-type, and the other of matrix-type, each element in the matrix is compared to the scalar, and the result is true if each comparison is true.
The dot relational operators are .<, .<=, .>, .>=, standing for `dot less', `dot less or equal', `dot greater', `dot greater or equal'. They conform to Table syn.3.
If both arguments are scalar, the result type inherits the higher type, so 1 >= 1.5 yields a double with value 0.0. If both operands are a matrix the return value is a matrix with a 1 in each position where the relation is true and zero If one of the operands is of scalar-type, and the other of matrix-type, each element in the matrix is compared to the scalar returning a matrix with 1 at each position where the relation holds.
String-type operands can be compared in a similar way. If both operands are a string, the results is int with value 1 or 0, depending on the case sensitive string comparison. Examples are given in the next section.
The == (is equal to), != (is not equal to), .== (is dot equal to) and .!= (is not dot equal to) are analogous to the relational operators, but have lower precedence. The non-dotted versions conform to Table syn.4.
The dotted versions conform to Table syn.3.
For example:
The non-dotted versions only return true if the relation holds for each element. In the first two examples neither m1 == 1 nor m1 != 1 is true for each element, hence the return value 0. The third example shows how to test if a matrix is not equal to a value. The parenthesis are necessary, because ! has higher precedence than ==, and !m1 == 1 results in <0,0; 0,0> == 1 which is false.
The last four examples use dot-relational expressions, resulting in a matrix of zeros and ones. In if statements, it is possible to use such matrices. Remember that a matrix is true if all elements are true (i.e. no element is zero).
The any library function evaluates to TRUE if any element is TRUE, e.g.
The .&& operator returns 1 if both of its operands compare unequal to 0, 0 otherwise. Both operands must have arithmetic type. Handling of matrix-type is as for dot-relational operators: if one or both operands is a matrix, the result is a matrix of zeros and ones. Unlike the non-dotted version, both operands will always be executed. For example, in the expression func1() .&& func2() the second function is called, regardless of the return value of func1().
The && operator returns the integer 1 if both of its operands compare unequal to 0, and the integer 0 otherwise. Both operands must have arithmetic type. First the left operand is evaluated, if it is false (for a matrix: there is at least one zero element), the result is false, and the right operand will not be evaluated. So in the expression func1() && func2() the second function will not be called if the first function returned false.
The .|| operator returns 1 if either of its operands compares unequal to 0, 0 otherwise. Both operands must have arithmetic type. Handling of matrix-type is as for dot-relational operators: if one or both operands is a matrix, the result is a matrix of zeros and ones. Unlike the non-dotted version, both operands will always be executed. For example, in the expression func1() .|| func2() the second function is called, regardless of the return value of func1().
The || operator returns the integer 1 if either of its operands compares unequal to 0, integer value 0 otherwise. Both operands must have arithmetic type. First the left operand is evaluated, it it is true (for a matrix: no element is zero), the result is true, and the right operand will not be evaluated. So in the expression func1() || func2() the second function will not be called if the first function returned true.
Both the conditional and the dot-conditional expression are ternary expressions. For the conditional expression, the first expression (before the ?) is evaluated. If it is unequal to 0, the result is the second expression, otherwise the third expression.
The dot-conditional expression only differs from the conditional expression if the first expression evaluates to a matrix, here called the test matrix. In that case the result is a matrix of the same size as the test matrix, and the test matrix can be seen as a filter: non zero elements get a value corresponding to the second expression, zero elements corresponding to the third expression. If the second or third expression is scalar, each matrix element will get the appropriate scalar value. If it is a matrix, the corresponding matrix element will be used, unless the matrix is too small, in which case the value 0. will be used. Note that in the dot-conditional expression both parts are executed, whereas in the conditional expression only one of the two parts is executed.
The assignment operators are the simple assignment = as well as the compound *= /= += -= ~= |= .*= ./= operators. An lvalue is required as the left operand. The type of an assignment is that of its right operand. The compoundd assignment l op= r is equivalent to l = l op (r).
If the left-hand side is a comma-separated list in square brackets, the statement is a Multiple assignment expression.
The following code:
writes:
Assigning an object to another variable only passes a reference: both will refer to the same object. The clone library function makes a copy which should be removed using delete.
A pair of expressions separated by a comma is evaluated left to right, and the value of the left expression is discarded. The result will have type and value corresponding to the right operand. The example in the previous section has two instances of the comma operator in the for loop: i = 0, k = 1.
An expression that evaluates to a constant is required in initializers and certain preprocessor expressions. A constant expression can have the operators * / + -, but only if the operands have scalar type. Some examples were given in sections on enumerations and external declarations.

Tesla falls after its Cybertruck's shatterproof windows break in a live demonstration (TSLA)
by finanzen.net GmbH- Tesla revealed its electric truck, called the Cybertruck, in a live event on Thursday. During a demonstration, two of the "armor glass" windows were smashed by a metal ball.
- Shares fell as much as 4.1% in early trading on Friday.
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company would fix the problem "in post."
- Watch Tesla trade live on Markets Insider.

Tesla is cracking under pressure, much like the windows on its electric truck.
Shares of the electric-vehicle company fell as much as 4.1% in early trading on Friday after it revealed its electric truck, called the Cybertruck, in a live event on Thursday evening.
CEO Elon Musk has long hyped the truck's futuristic design, inspired by the movie "Blade Runner." During the live demonstration, however, things took an unexpected turn when Tesla's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen, threw a metal ball at two of the truck's "armor glass" windows, smashing them.
Musk was caught off guard and uttered an expletive before saying that the ball "didn't go through — that's a plus side" and telling the audience that Tesla would fix the problem "in post."
The unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck comes as competition in electric vehicles heats up. Ford recently unveiled its own Mustang-inspired electric SUV, called the Mach-E, which analysts at Credit Suisse said could threaten Tesla's position as the top EV maker in the US.
In addition, General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced on Thursday that the company's electric pickup truck would launch in 2021 — around the time that Tesla's Cybertruck is set to hit the market — Reuters reported.
Tesla has gained about 6% year-to-date through Thursday's close.

It wasn’t long ago that spying was a labor-intensive job, requiring excessive resources and specific targets. These days, it has gotten much easier for governments or adversaries to spy on individuals…or everyone for that matter. Living in the 21st century means that the moment you use the Internet to save, edit, or share something, you become vulnerable to surveillance.
With the majority of traffic on the Internet viewable to anyone that has access to the computers that your message passes through—from the computer in your home, to your local ISP, to the final destination of your message and all points in between—how is anyone able to mitigate online surveillance and keep their communications private?
The answer is by using strong encryption. Encrypted messages are turned into a form that is unreadable except to the person located at your messages final destination. We’re seeing more and more websites using encryption to protect data in transit, but unfortunately it’s still not the default for many Internet services. To increase your own use of encryption and to help protect your data, install HTTPS Everywhere, a browser plugin that tells websites to use encryption, which means spies will need to go back to the targeted surveillance days of yore.

For Panel components, it will be ok to import following css file: <link href="../wulfdist/css/wulf.basic.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="../wulfdist/css/wulf.panel.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
You can create a basic panel container by creating a div container with class panel
.
The panel consists of the panel container, a container for the panel header, as well as a container
for the panel content, each with their own class:

Available Operations

...

The panel component also provides a couple of predefined classes for changing the visual appearance
of the panel. You can use panel-shadow
class to add a drop shadow, as well as
panel-blue-cap
class to add a blue cap on top of the panel.
You can also use predefined sections and single rows to split your panel into distinct parts:

Title of section

...

Title or label

Title of section

...

If you wish to use a more streamlined look for a panel, you can
create a panel without panel-blue-cap
or panel-shadow
classes.
The "Available Operations" panel shows what a streamlined panel without the drop shadow
and the blue cap looks like.
You can also make the header borderless or transparent by adding panel-heading-transparent
to the header. The "Performance Management" panel is an example of such a panel.
You can also use a simpler type of shadow for the panel by substituting panel-shadow
with
panel-simple-shadow
. This is mostly provided as a workaround, as the regular shadow can cause visual glitches when used with
very tall panels.


This project aims to contribute to the problem that high school students have when they want to enter public universities. Some of the causes of this education problem are related to the precarious economic and infrastructure conditions of families and schools, the ignorance of the importance of learning for their good education, the lack of importance of both students and parents and teachers in the interest and importance of passing a level, not of the true knowledge acquired.
Through the different instruments provided to analyze the problem, the problem was determined and establishing a system, a disaggregation was made to better visualize the interests that this entails. And so the inputs and outputs of the system were given to create our problem tree that helps us to determine the main problem taking into account the causes and effects of it.
Finally, we carry out the objectives and the solution alternatives of each objective in order to determine our optimal system with which the solution to the problem can be solved.

HCPSS Schools Awarded Green School Certification
Ellicott City, Maryland — Eleven Howard County public schools have earned certification or recertification as Green Schools from the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education. The Green Schools will be recognized at the MAEOE 2018 Youth Summit on May 31 at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis.
Atholton High School is the newest facility in the Howard County Public School System to earn Green School certification. Bollman Bridge, Guilford and Stevens Forest elementary schools, Harper's Choice Middle School and Marriotts Ridge High School earned their first recertification. Bushy Park, Dayton Oaks, Manor Woods and Northfield elementary schools, and Folly Quarter Middle School achieved their second re-certification as Green Schools.
Two schools, Clarksville and West Friendship elementary schools, were named Sustainable Schools. These schools have earned re-certification four times and have therefore been designated Green Schools for over 16 continuous years. The Sustainable designation is permanent and the schools will remain Green Schools without need to renew certification.
HCPSS has a total of 52 schools that have earned the Maryland Green Schools certification since the program began in 1985. Each certified Green School has demonstrated a continuous effort to integrate sustainable environmental practices, environmental education curricula, professional development opportunities, and community engagement into their daily operations.
The schools engaged in educational opportunities that increase awareness and understanding of environmental relationships that impact public health and the local community. The Green Schools certification signifies that these schools have made a commitment to developing environmental stewards and reducing environmental impact.

What I`ve Been Up To...
It’s been slow on the blog this month… in fact, for that last couple of months, my posts/week ratio has been getting awefully weaker, as if it wasn’t weak enough to begin with. So whats the reason for this? I had tons (read: megatons) of stuff do over the last weeks, and all those personal projects coupled with school, my McJob and spending a bit of time with the friends and family didn’t leave me lots of time to write up some stuff. The articles are written, thanks to all those wasted Economy class periods, but I just haven’t found the time to write them up.


Count the string
问题描述 :
It is well known that AekdyCoin is good at string problems as well as number theory problems. When given a string s, we can write down all the non-empty prefixes of this string. For example:
s: "abab"
The prefixes are: "a", "ab", "aba", "abab"
For each prefix, we can count the times it matches in s. So we can see that prefix "a" matches twice, "ab" matches twice too, "aba" matches once, and "abab" matches once. Now you are asked to calculate the sum of the match times for all the prefixes. For "abab", it is 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6.
The answer may be very large, so output the answer mod 10007.
s: "abab"
The prefixes are: "a", "ab", "aba", "abab"
For each prefix, we can count the times it matches in s. So we can see that prefix "a" matches twice, "ab" matches twice too, "aba" matches once, and "abab" matches once. Now you are asked to calculate the sum of the match times for all the prefixes. For "abab", it is 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6.
The answer may be very large, so output the answer mod 10007.
输入:
The first line is a single integer T, indicating the number of test cases.
For each case, the first line is an integer n (1 <= n <= 200000), which is the length of string s. A line follows giving the string s. The characters in the strings are all lower-case letters.
For each case, the first line is an integer n (1 <= n <= 200000), which is the length of string s. A line follows giving the string s. The characters in the strings are all lower-case letters.

假设两串字符完全相等，next[j]=i,代表s[1...i]==sum[j-i+1....j]，这一段其实就是前缀
i~j之间已经不可能有以j结尾的子串是前缀了，不然next【j】就不是 i 了
设dp【i】:以string[i]结尾的子串总共含前缀的数量
所以dp[j]=dp[i]+1，即以i结尾的子串中含前缀的数量加上前j个字符这一前缀
#include <cstdio> #include <algorithm> #include <cstring> #include <cmath> #include <iostream> using namespace std; const int N = 200005; char a[N]; int next[N],d[N]; void get_next(char *b) { int i = -1, j = 0; next[0] = -1; int len = strlen(b); while(j < len) { if(i == -1 || b[i] == b[j]) next[++j] = ++i; else i = next[i]; } } int main() { int T,i,n; scanf("%d",&T); while(T--) { scanf("%d%s",&n,a); get_next(a); for(i = 1; i <= n; i ++) d[i] = 1; d[0] = 0; int sum = 0; for(i = 1; i <= n; i ++) { d[i] = d[next[i]] + 1; sum += d[i]%10007; } printf("%d\n",sum%10007); } return 0; }

老实说，这种方法就是穷举，复杂度是2^n，之所以能够AC是应为题目的测试数据有问题，要么数据量很小，要么能够得到k == t，否则即使n = 30，也要很久才能得出结果，本人亲测

TheDistanceCore
Develop faster with convenience functions from The Distance.
Requirements
- iOS 8.0+
- Xcode 7.3
- Swift 2.2
Features
Reducing boilerplate code helps us to develop features faster and ensure they remain bug free, with platform updates and so we don’t forget tricky edge cases.
TheDistanceCore contains simple extensions and reusable classes that are references in multiple projects. The purpose of this project is to contain small pieces of functionality that are very general. More specific code, or code that has dependencies on other frameworks, should not be included here.
Functionality includes:
- Parallax Scroll: Standard Protocol for implementing a ‘parallax scroll’ where one view moves based on a
UIScrollView
’s content offset. - Storyboard Loader: Storyboards can easily become bloated and slow to load. Typically storyboards can be separated into related parts but managing which View Controller is where can be messy if done throughout the app. The
StoryboardLoader
protocol simplifies this by allowing you to define enums for your Storyboards and ViewControllers and instantiate them usingStoryboardLoader.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier(_:)
. - Pure Swift Key-Value-Observing:
NSObject
s implement a method calledmethodSignatureForSelector:
which converts from strings to methods. Pure Swift classes do not have this method so cannot inherently perform KVO or observeNSNotificationCenter
posts.Observer
,ObjectObserver
, andNotificationObserver
resolve this. - NSLayoutConstraints: The default
NSLayoutConstraint
initialisers are clear but can be cumbersome when creating standard constraints.constraintsToSize(...)
andconstraintsToAlign(...)
neaten the programmatic constraint creation process. Other convenience initialisers are provided. - Request Cache Control: Not all APIs respond with 304 unmodified states when making requests with the
if-modified-since
header. It can be useful to impose a fixed time limit between the same network requests. TheRequestCache
protocol simplifies checking time intervals since successful requests. - Extension Framework: Framework version with API restricted to that suitable for an extension.
Other features include:
- User friendly
NSError
s from networking and location operations. - Neater syntax for Swift Dictionary creation when using
.map({ ... })
. - Shortened Syntax for whitespace trimmed Strings.
- Simplified URL opening for Google Chrome or Safari.
- Default date comparisons using comparison operators.
- Standard device dependent rotations (iPhone +s and iPads rotate
.AllButUpsideDown
, iPhones locked to portrait) CGRect
,UIEdgeInsets
common calculations.
Communication
- If you have found a bug, open an issue.
- If you have a feature request, open an issue.
- If you want to contribute, submit a pull request.
- If you’d like to ask a general question, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Installation
Carthage is the preferred dependency manager as it reduces build times during app development. TheDistanceCore has been built for Carthage. Add
github "TheDistance/TheDistanceCore"
to your cartfile and run
carthage update TheDistanceCore
to build the framework. Add to it your project according to the Carthage instructions.
