Tory candidates write to Labour opponents as Corbyn dubbed ‘prime ditherer’
This is not the first time the phrase ‘prime ditherer’ has been used in British politics.
Tory candidates have written to their Labour opponents asking them to confirm where they stand on Brexit after Jeremy Corbyn said he would remain neutral in a second EU referendum.
The move comes as senior Conservatives called Mr Corbyn “Prime Ditherer” at a poster launch in Westminster following the Labour leader’s decision not to take sides in the proposed public vote on a new Brexit deal which his party intends to negotiate with Brussels.
The letters call on each Labour candidate to reveal what their plan is to “get Brexit done” and whether they will remain neutral in a second referendum, and if not how they will campaign.
Candidates are also asked if they will refuse to support any government which is reliant on the votes of the SNP and a second independence referendum.
The Tories said a pledge has been signed by every Conservative candidate to back Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal if was to be brought back to Parliament before Christmas.
Standing in front of the “Prime Ditherer” poster, alongside Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “So Jeremy Corbyn is the prime ditherer as demonstrated by his position, his various positions on Brexit, and his lack of a position now.
“But also his position on immigration. At first, he said he wanted to end free movement of people, then he wanted to keep free movement, now he wants to extend free movement of people.
“He’s also the prime ditherer on security, and whilst this might be seen by some people as funny, it’s deadly serious when you’re the prime ditherer on security.
“He dithered on opposing Russia when there was an attack on our soil at Salisbury.
“He dithered when Iran seized British a British tanker, and he dithered on whether to try to stop Isis in Syria.
“He’s the ditherer, the prime ditherer, on Brexit, on Scotland, on immigration and on security, and we can never let him into Number 10.”
This is not the first time the phrase “prime ditherer” has been used in British politics.
In 2016, former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott tweeted: “Theresa May has become the Prime Ditherer and Brexit will be her downfall.”
Asked who came up with the “Prime Ditherer” phrase, Ms Morgan told the PA news agency on Monday: “I think it was somebody from CCHQ. We’ve got a very talented team.”

Looking at TDD: An Academic Survey

I shadowed C's reading activities on a weekday afternoon in November, 2015. Participant observation was carried out for about two and a half hours.
Background
During the initial interview, C explained to me that her research process contained four or five stages. The stage I had the opportunity to observe was the reading/note-taking stage, highlighted in red in the following diagram.
Since she had printed out the journal articles she wanted to read before my shadowing, I observed her reading process of several journal articles. She did not mention using any device while reading journal articles in print, so I did not expect to witness much of her technology use.
Findings
My observations are summarized as follows.
- Bodily engagement with journal papers
- She highlighted the passages of importance with yellow or orange markers.
- She paraphrased some of the authors' ideas in the margins of the papers with a blue pen.
- She wrote down her own thoughts in the margins with a pencil.
- She used different colors of post-it notes sometimes. When I asked her if she had color-coded different ideas with different colors, her answer was negative. She chose the colors randomly, and even if she had meant something when she used a certain color of post-it, she would have forgotten about the original intention when she returned to it.
- The mobile phone
- While never mentioned in the prior interview, she used her mobile phone very often while studying.
- She mostly used the dictionary app to look up unfamiliar words and went back immediately to the reading after reading the results.
Usefulness of the Method
Participant observation was useful in this study. Even though I only observed her in one stage of her reading cycle, I gained insight on her mobile phone use, which was not revealed during the interview. I also witnessed her tactile engagement with the texts at hand.

Recent cut in corporate tax rate was done to boost investments: CEA
by PTIBy: PTI | New Delhi | Published: December 9, 2019 3:17:39 pm
CEA KV Subramanian (File photo, source: Tashi Tobgiyal)
Chief Economic Adviser KV Subramanian on Monday said private investment is key to economic growth and the recent cut in corporate tax rate was done to boost investments.
“Private investment is the driver of economic growth. Steps that we are taking, be it corporate tax rate cut, be it code on wages and industrial relations, is to try and create a more favourable environment for investment,” Subramanian said at the FICCI Young Leaders Summit here.
He said investment is required for a sustained economic growth.
“So there is indeed well thought out agenda in implementing these measures and the effects of these will show (results), ” he said.
India’s GDP growth slowed sharply to a pace of 4.5 per cent in the July-September, hit by a slump in manufacturing output.
The pace of GDP growth has moderated from the 5 per cent rate in April-June and 7 per cent in July-September quarter of 2018.
In September, the government had announced a cut in the corporate tax rate to 22 per cent from 30 per cent.
It also lowered the tax rate for new manufacturing companies to 15 per cent to attract new foreign direct investments.

Thanks for finding this bug for us. We haven't actually tested
creating variables with empty domains much.
Both errors should really be translated into real Java exceptions that
can be caught.

It is a special case, since we have no representation of an empty
domain internally that respects all the invariants.
If Gecode/J makes the JVM crash again, the hs_err_pid????.log file
contains some information that may help find the problem. Attaching
the file would help us help you.
Cheers,

A problem and what I’ve learnt from it:
I always get blocked on simple problems, they always seem to pop-up out of nowhere. There are so many problems that I have got stuck on but the most annoying one so far has been getting stuck on CSS in the first couple of weeks of my Foundations course at Dev Academy. I tried my hardest to wrap my head around margin, padding and borders which took me a very long time but how I solved this problem was pretty simple. I used google and the many resources provided with my Foundations work and wrote everything down (because that’s the way I learn best). This has helped me out a lot because it is so simple to learn CSS but the only thing that was holding me back from learning it properly at first was my arrogance. This is because I have learnt it before and I thought I knew everything but in the end I decided to go out of my comfort zone and actually research everything about it. I have learnt to do this for everything now because it is so easy to do and while doing this, my brain is developing to focus better and ultimately provide better work.
Confidence with each problem solving solution:
Pseudocode:
I’m very confident with pseudocode and it makes things a lot easier to understand by using a non-programming method.
Trying something:
Very confident with this one as it’s easy and I always use trial and error for almost everything.
Rubber ducky method:
I’ve done this, this week and honestly it helps so much. I’m now confident using this method.
Reading error messages:
This is my least confident method but I am getting way better at it and will focus on it way more now.
Console.logging:
I use this a lot as well, it’s very helpful when I want to know if something is working correctly.
Googling:
I use this every single day and it is one of the best tools ever.
Asking your peers for help:
Since I’m in a flat with two other web developers it is very easy to bounce ideas and ask questions from each other.
Asking coaches for help:
I haven’t been in a major situation where I have needed to ask coaches for help yet. But I know I definitely will once I’m at campus and I’m really looking forward to it :).
Improving your process with reflection:
I’m very confident with this one as well.

The Weeknd teases new song ‘Blinding Lights’ might be coming on Black Friday
A snippet of the new song features in a new Mercedes Benz commercial
It looks like fans of The Weeknd won’t have to wait much longer for new music from the Canadian singer as he’s teased that he’s dropping something new on Black Friday.
- Read more: The Weeknd – ‘My Dear Melancholy,’ EP Review
Reportedly titled ‘Blinding Lights’, a snippet of the new song features in a Mercedes Benz commercial that aired today (November 24) on German TV channels. It mentions that the full clip will be available on November 29.
According to the ASCAP repository, the track is written and produced by The Weeknd, Belly and the singer’s longtime producer DaHeala.
The new song comes after The Weekend teased in August that his ‘Chapter VI’ album was on the way. Posting an image of himself on Twitter, he said: “album mode full effect”, much to the delight of his followers.
Hinting at big things to come in a tweet last year, he said of the upcoming project: “some chapters are smaller than others. not this next one though…”
Speaking to the crowd during a show in his home city of Toronto, he teased: “I wanna let you guys know, being in Toronto these past two days… I haven’t been this inspired in years, I got to tell you.”
Watch the Mercedes Benz commercial featuring ‘Blinding Lights’ below:
Meanwhile, it was reported earlier this year that The Weeknd was being sued by a trio of British songwriters who claim that he ripped them off on his track ‘A Lonely Night’.
William Smith, Brian Clover and Scott McCulloch claim that the US star copied their track ‘I Need To Love’ – which they previously attempted to sell across the globe in 2004 and 2005.

1 I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying through the air.
2 The angel asked me, "What do you see?"
I replied, "I see a flying scroll that is huge, nine meters long and four and a half meters wide."
3 Then he said to me, "On this scroll Yahweh has written the words that he is speaking to curse the entire land of Judah. On one side of the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On the other side it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is calling on Yahweh to witness that he is telling the truth will also be banished from the country.
4 The Commander of the angel armies says, 'I will send this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they call on me to witness that they are telling the truth. This scroll will stay in their houses until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.'"
5 Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, "Look up and see what is coming!"
6 I asked him, "What is it?"
He replied, "It is a big barrel for measuring grain. But it contains a record of the sins that everyone in this nation has committed."
7 Then the angel lifted the barrel's cover, which was made of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the barrel!
8 The angel said, "She represents the wicked things that people do." Then he pushed her back into the barrel and closed the very heavy lid again.
9 Then I looked up and saw two women in front of me. They were flying toward us, with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were large, like storks' wings. They lifted the barrel up into the sky.
10 I asked the angel who had been talking to me, "Where are they taking that barrel?"
11 He replied, "They are taking it to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the barrel there on a pedestal for people to worship it."

Thank you to all the people displayed here and for lending me their beauty. And Thanks to you for stopping by on my website!
For me photography remains a space in which I think and feel deeply about things, as I believe we are all meant to. I pour myself into photography (and some other passions) in a way that is completely incompatible with my daytime employment, and in this way it serves a very important need for me. I enjoy the contrast between the grind of daily life and the creative, intuitive retreat into the visual and feeling areas of my mind. I like that photography keeps a foot in both the literal and the limitless.
I am Chinese who studying in California State University, East Bay. majoring in multimedia. And I am interested in different aspect of new media exploring new and interested things.
I also use photoshop lightroom and others editing sofeware.
Please contact me if you are interested in some photos and I will give you an reasonable price.

public interface ContextLoader
Strategy interface for loading an
application context
.
Clients of a ContextLoader should call
processLocations()
prior to
calling loadContext()
in case the
ContextLoader provides custom support for modifying or generating locations.
The results of processLocations()
should then be supplied to loadContext()
.
Concrete implementations must provide a public
no-args
constructor.
Spring provides the following out-of-the-box implementations:
| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
ApplicationContext |
loadContext(String... locations)
Loads a new context based on the supplied
locations , configures the context, and finally returns
the context in fully refreshed state. |
String[] |
processLocations(Class<?> clazz,
String... locations)
Processes application context resource locations for a specified class. |
| Method Detail |
|---|
String[] processLocations(Class<?> clazz, String... locations)
Concrete implementations may choose to modify the supplied locations, generate new locations, or simply return the supplied locations unchanged.
clazz
- the class with which the locations are associated: used to
determine how to process the supplied locationslocations
- the unmodified locations to use for loading the
application context (can be null
or empty)
ApplicationContext loadContext(String... locations) throws Exception
context
based on the supplied
locations
, configures the context, and finally returns
the context in fully refreshed state.
Configuration locations are generally considered to be classpath resources by default.
Concrete implementations should register annotation configuration
processors with bean factories of
application contexts
loaded by this
ContextLoader. Beans will therefore automatically be candidates for
annotation-based dependency injection using
@Autowired
and @Resource
.
Any ApplicationContext loaded by a ContextLoader must register a JVM shutdown hook for itself. Unless the context gets closed early, all context instances will be automatically closed on JVM shutdown. This allows for freeing external resources held by beans within the context, e.g. temporary files.
locations
- the resource locations to use to load the application context
Exception
- if context loading failed

Every few years, I review literature on productivity and automation. As a data scientist working in large enterprises, I have a front row seat to an emerging skillset that fits into our digital economy. As a former educator, I have a specific bias towards skill and capability development. These reviews are an attempt to understand some of the prevailing economic forces today, and identify the best next steps forward for creating opportunity for all. This article highlights the challenges of matchmaking and credentialing when introducing new skills to a workplace.
Firms want modern capabilities, but the “what” and “how” is ambiguous
As the roles required to succeed in the economy evolve, it will be important for workers to update and adapt their skills. There are concerns that, collectively our labor force will not be able to keep up with the potential demand, and that the resulting “skills gap” could cost the US economy $2.5T over the next decade. For the first time in recent memory, in May, August, and September 2018, the TechServe Alliance, the national trade association of technology staffing and services companies, reported no tech job growth in the U.S. According to TechServe Alliance CEO Mark Roberts, “this is totally a supply side phenomenon. There are simply not enough qualified workers to meet demand.”
These challenges are exacerbated by a lack of dynamism in the economy - which I have explored in this article. There is poor diffusion of new knowledge, further leaving middle-market companies behind. In addition, insufficient support for development reduces firms’ competitiveness. For example, many middle market firms thus find it difficult to create a “deeper bench” – while 55% of middle market firms have an ongoing training system, 45% do not. In addition, 61% of middle market firms do not have systems in place for internal career advancement. And only 30% of firms partner with educational or training organizations, “despite the fact that such partnerships could help companies bolster the capabilities of their internal HR staff.”
Firms know there is a need to modernize, but do not have a clear path forward. Ambiguity about the future, paired with a clear need for change and innovation, is perhaps a defining characteristic of conversations on the future of the workforce.
The “skills gap” is in part an “information gap”
One reason for the ambiguity is an information gap between employers, workers, and educational institutions. While employers presumably know which skills they value in an employee, workers themselves and educational institutions have less up-to-date knowledge, and their response lags behind the changing demand. Lacking incisive data, workers and educational institutions are separated from employers by an information gap that makes it difficult to prepare the workforce with the skills employers seek. Coordination among these parties will be crucial for addressing America’s reskilling challenge.
Credentialing workers for job functions that have existed for only a few years is challenging, as is determining certification equivalencies. As an example, in April 2016, the WSJ performed a review of aggregator sites with the dean of Macomb Community College, which has traditionally served Michigan’s auto industry (Sussman and Korn 2018). According to the authors, “When the school’s engineering dean examined thousands of local job listings, he learned manufacturers used dozens of job titles for the same mix of skills Macomb calls mechatronics—a combination of mechanics, electronics and programming.”
This overwhelming variety of postsecondary programs from which to choose creates risk for individuals to identify a program that will set them up for employment. A 2017 report from the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce explains that the “variety of postsecondary credentials available has multiplied rapidly in recent years, including degrees, certificates, certifications, licenses, and badges and other microcredentials.” The authors note that this “ecosystem of postsecondary credentials is complex, fragmented, and multilayered.”
This all being said, proper investments in reskilling can have a large payoff. In an evaluation of the health insurer Cigna’s tuition reimbursement program, it was found that “every dollar the company puts into the program is returned and generates an additional $1.29 in savings.” Similarly, an analysis of Discover Financial Service’s reimbursement program by Lumina found that Discover “reaps $1.44 in savings for every dollar spent on tuition assistance for employees.”
Key challenge: More transparency between employers, schools, and prospective hires
While generally acknowledged as an ongoing challenge, work is being done to facilitate transparency in job hiring and skills. The leaders of multiple agencies of the federal government have worked on creating a common definition and metrics around career pathways, state and local governments have worked collaboratively to support implementation, and national foundations have funded experimentation to move this concept from a lofty vision to a tangible reality. Job posting aggregators (e.g., Glassdoor) market their capabilities toward local economic and workforce development clients, including community colleges and community development organizations.
As an example of a promising private-public partnership, CyberSeek is a unique organization attempting to address a skills gap. If successful, the project would result in increased awareness of the career opportunities in cybersecurity, by geography and specific skill requirement. This transparency could result in a better-directed labor supply, which would help both employers and workers.

Power Tools For The Web [Deprecated]
Susy is Deprecated. It should no longer be used on new projects, and will no longer be receiving any updates.
Susy is a design-agnostic set of tools for creating powerful, custom layouts. We didn’t want another grid system full of rules and restrictions — we wanted a power tool for building our own damn systems. Version Three is trimmed down to it’s most basic components — functions that can be used to build any grid system.

Quotes
“I like the idea of grids-on-demand, rather than a strict framework.”
– Chris Coyier, CSS Tricks
“Susy and Zendesk have been getting along magically… It’s precisely what you need and nothing more.”
— Stephany Varga, Zendesk
“If you’re interested in reading Sass poetry, be sure to look at Susy’s source code!”
— Kitty Giraudel, SitePoint
Resources
Third-Party Tools
- Susy.js CSS-in-JS port
Installation
npm install susy
There are two imports to choose from.
The default sass/susy
comes with
un-prefixed versions of the core API functions.
If you want Susy to be name-spaced,
import sass/susy-prefix
instead.
// un-prefixed functions
@import '<path-to>/susy/sass/susy';
// susy-prefixed functions
@import '<path-to>/susy/sass/susy-prefix';
Using Eyeglass
With eyeglass set up,
you can @import 'susy';
without providing the npm-modules path.
Using Webpack
Make sure sass-loader
is installed:
npm install sass-loader --save-dev
Make sure you have sass-loader enabled in your webpack configuration:
// webpack.config.js
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader']
}
]
}
Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import "~susy/sass/susy";
Using Gulp
Add a gulp task:
// gulpfile.js
gulp.task('sass', function() {
return gulp.src('scss/*.scss')
.pipe(sass({
outputStyle: 'compressed',
includePaths: ['node_modules/susy/sass']
}).on('error', sass.logError))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'));
});
Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import 'susy';
Using Grunt (and Yeoman)
To add Susy to the Sass task,
edit your Gruntfile.js
at the root level of your project
and look for the Sass-related rules.
Add require: 'susy'
inside the options object:
// Gruntfile.js
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'expanded',
require: 'susy'
},
files: {
'css/style.css': 'scss/style.scss'
}
}
}
Assuming you’ve already installed Susy, it will now be added to the project and will not clash with Yeoman’s grunt rules.
Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import 'susy';
Susy vs Su
You may notice that some functions have a susy-
prefix,
while others only have su-
.
This helps distinguish between the two distinct layers:
- The core grid-math layer is called Su, and is made up of “pure” functions that expect normalized values. This is useful if you prefer argument-syntax to shorthand syntax, or if you are building your own Susy mixins.
- The upper Susy layer provides syntax-sugar – global defaults, shorthand-parsing, normalization, and a smaller set of common-use functions that call on the core math as necessary. This is the primary API for most users.

MKEY 1
NAME
Mkey — Build an index of keys from files
SYNOPSIS
mkey [-sw] [-c name] [-f name] [-i chars] [-kn] [-ln] [-nm] file [file...]
DESCRIPTION
Mkey reads its input from the file names given as arguments, and, if there is no arguments, it reads from the standart input. It assumes that blank lines in the input delimit separate items for each of which a different line of keys should be generated. The lines of keys are written on the standard output. Keys are any alphanumeric string in the input not among the most frequent words in English and not entirely numeric (except that all- numeric strings are acceptable if they are between 1900 and 1999). In the output, keys are translated to lower case, and truncated to six characters in length; any associated punctuation is removed.
The following flags arguments are recognized by mkey.
- -c name: Name of file of common words. Default is @LIBDIR@/eign.
- -f name: Read a list of files from name and take each as an input argument.
- -i chars: Ignore each line wich begin with ’%’ followed by any character in chars.
- -kn: Use at most n keys per input item. Unless this option is used, the output of mkey is comparable in size to its input.
- -ln: Ignore items shorter than n letter longs. Default is 3.
- -nm: Ignore as a key any word in the first m words of the list of common English words. The default is 100.
- -s: Remove the labels (file:start,length) from the output; just give the keys. Used when searching rather than indexing.
- -w: Each whole file is a separate item; blank lines are irrelevant.
FILES
@BINDIR@/mkey Executable. @LIBDIR@/eign List of frequent english words.

Quokka vs Maven
Key advantages of Quokka:
Usability
- Humane, validated XML: Quokka's project files make extensive use of attributes and provide
shorthand notations for many cases. Also, unlike maven, quokka project files do not contain arbitrary
configuration elements and can be validated against a DTD.
TODO: Compare a like for like project (pom.xml vs build-quokka.xml)
- Detailed Project Help:
Quokka's help plugin provides a very comprehensive HTML report for a project showing all
dependencies, paths, targets and properties. See the following example
for the project that generates this site.
- Plugins bind themselves automatically by default:
Quokka's plugin architecture allows a plugin to implement an abstract target defined in another
plugin. For example, the lifecycle plugin defines an abstract target "compile", which is implemented
by the javac plugin. When using the javac plugin, it automatically binds itself "compile". Maven on the
other hand requires the user to specify what phase a goal is bound to manually.
- Coherent site & documentation: While still a work in progress, quokka provides a coherent
site and set of documentation. Furthermore, plugin documentation is available for all versions of plugins,
not just the latest version (historical versions of the core documentations are also available).
- Dependency handling: Quokka allows transitive dependencies to be marked as mandatory or
optional. By default, only mandatory transitive dependencies are included with a convenient
shorthand notation for specifiying options. This fine control is via
"path specifications" that allow a graph of dependencies to be specified. e.g. A fictious
example of "testng(qdox(log4j), bsh)" might represent that you require the testng dependency along with
the qdox dependency of it, it's log4j dependency, etc. This fine level of control also applies to plugin
dependencies. In contrast, Maven includes everything by default and only supports simple exclusions.
It appears to be impossible to exclude dependencies of plugins.
- Global JDK configuration: JDK source and target levels can be specified globally
and all plugins that are JDK aware, such as javac and javadoc will pick up the configuration
automatically. Furthermore, some plugins such as jUnit will select the version of their
dependencies automatically (in this case jUnit 3.x for JDKs < 1.5 and 4.x otherwise).
The default heap size for forked JVMs can also be set globally.
- Aggregated reports:
All reports currently available for quokka support aggregation into a single report when doing
multi-project builds. TODO ... check current status of maven aggregated reports.
- Repository management: Quokka can statically determine all dependencies used by a project.
This combined with a repository API that allows browsing and deletion of dependencies from a
repository, it is possbile to prune "dead" artifacts from repositories automatically. Note: the
pruning functionality has not been implemented yet, but the underlying building blocks have. In contrast,
maven repositories tend to grow unmanaged as there are no tools to analyse them.
Extensibility/Flexibility
- No hard-wired notion of a lifecycle in the core:
Nothing regarding the lifecycle plugin, including the targets and paths it uses it hard-wired
into the core. It is just a normal plugin, contributing abstract targets and default path
definitions. The plugin architecture is powerful enough to support this functionality. It also
means it is possbile for other plugins to introduce additional paths and abstract targets. For example,
an EAR plugin could introduce an "ear" path that would be used to specifiy the libraries bundled into
the EAR lib directory.
- Multiple artifacts per project: The quokka core supports multiple artifacts per project.
Support for multiple artifacts is dependent on particular plugin implementations,
however it is common for plugins to support multiple artifacts for packaging. e.g. the Jar plugin
allows any number of .jar artifacts to be built from a single project, however the Javac plugin
only supports compiling all source files as a single unit. In constrast, Maven only supports a
single artifact explicitly and then relies on specific plugins to handle special cases
such as remote interfaces for EJBs.
- Custom paths from the repository: Projects can define their own custom paths and add any artifacts
from the repository to it. Such paths can them be passed as arguments to plugins or used for any other
purpose such as a stand-alone ANT target. In contrast, Maven appears to only support a fixed set of
paths.
- Multiple paths exported to the repository: When an artifact is exported to the repository,
it can define multiple paths of dependencies with it. e.g. "runtime" is the default path that
usually refers to any dependencies the artifact has at runtime. However, there could be another
path such as "runtime-jdk14" that includes additional libraries required when running with a
jdk of 1.4 or below. In contrast, Maven only exports it's fixed set of paths, usually the runtime path only.
- Extensibility via ANT targets & tasks: As quokka is essentially a plugin for ANT, it is possible
to combine quokka targets with standard ANT targets. ANT targets can be stand-alone, or depend on or be a
dependency of other targets. All standard ANT tasks are available, including optional tasks when
the optional jars are referenced from the repository. Also, additional builtin ANT tasks have been provided
including the for, if and switch tasks from ant-contrib. You can even bundle standard ANT tasks in dependency
sets and use them like plugins. In contrast, maven has no native scripting language for extensions.
An ant-run plugin does exist that allows some ANT functionality to be run before or after goals,
but is limited in comparison and means your project ends up depending on both ANT and maven.
- Fine control of dependency versions: Quokka allows specific versions of dependencies
to be overridden to prevent conflicts. e.g. "testng(qdox(log4j@1.2.15), bsh)" would include
the standard testng dependencies, but override log4j to 1.2.15. It also supports global overrides,
for example setting all log4j 1.2.x versions to 1.2.15. In constrast, Maven doesn't appear
to allow overriding. It does however have automatic conflict resolution. Quokka avoids automated
conflict resolution to ensure reproducible, deterministic behaviour.
- IDE/Tools integration:
Quokka is implemented as a transparent plugin to an unmodified version of ANT. It hooks into already
existing extension points in ANT. This means for IDEs and other tools that use ANT, quokka appears to
be ANT (assuming you have control over the classpath used to launch ANT). The upshot is that
for IDEs quokka integration comes essentially for free. Note: IDE integration is currently only tested
for IntelliJ IDEA and works without modification. Eclipse and Netbeans have not been tested. In constrast,
Maven requires specific plugins to be written for all tools and ides.
- Dependency Sets versus inheritence: Quokka allows build configurations to be composed
of reusable configurations called dependency sets. Dependency sets may include dependencies,
plugins, properties, imported ANT targets and build resources. For example, there is a standard
Jar Dependency Set supplied with quokka that bundles together the plugins required to
compile java sources, copy and filter resources and build a .jar file.
Each project has a root dependency set, that may nest other dependency sets such as the Jar.
Nested may nest other set to any level, providing a powerful composition model for
reusing build configurations. In constrast, maven provides a single iheritance model that cannot
handle build resources, or additional ad hoc targets.
- Build Resources: A build
resource is essentially a reference to a file or directory that can bundled
up with a plugin and then be overridden in either dependency sets or by placing the
resources in the build/resources directory of the project. An example is the jalopy source code formatting
plugin that requires an XML file of formatting rules. By specifying
it as a build resource with a key of "jalopy-style.xml", it can be overridden in dependency sets.
This allows, for example, a corporate-wide dependency set to be defined that includes the
corporate code formatting rules. Maven has no such facility.
- Multi-project flexibility: Quokka's multi-project support is achieved using the subant task,
together with a buildpath task that can take a path of build files and determine the
interdependencies between them. This allows a great deal of flexibility such as building
different subsets of children from the parent, auto-discovery of modules, or optionally building
all the children before the parent. Maven supports mult-module builds, however it appears
that all modules must be explictly defined an then executing a target always executes the same
target on all modules.
Reproducibility
- Versioned Global Repository:
Artifacts in the global repository are immutable. If the metadata needs updating, then a different revision
of the same artifact is created. This ensures that if an artifact is referenced from the global repository,
exactly the same artifact will always be returned over time.
- Plugin versions are fixed:
Plugins never "magically" upgrade themselves to new versions based
on what is available in the repository at runtime. Plugin versions must be specified explicitly and do not
change.
Maven's default behaviour is to upgrade automatically which means plugins may upgrade without warning, breaking
builds.
- Bootstrapping: Quokka supports multiple versions of itself to be installed simultaneously. Projects
can then be configured to request a specific version of quokka and the bootstrapping process will
automatically select the correct version. Bootstrapping can also select a particular JVM and heap size.
- Snapshots do not expire: Snapshot dependencies in quokka do not expire and get upgraded
automatically. The user controls explicitly when snapshots are updated. Note: The feature is not
implemented yet. In contrast, Maven snapshots expire and update automatically, potentially breaking
the build in the process.
Robustness & Agility
Note: The items below refer to design aspects that will impact robustness and
agility over time. Maven as a product will be more robust than the initial quokka release.
- Small code base: Quokka plugins are generally a thin wrapper around existing ANT tasks and libraries,
and therefore inherit the robustness of the ANT tasks. In contrast, Maven tends to rewrite plugins from
scratch.
TODO: Contrast compiler plugin implementations as an example
- Plugin targets run in completely isolated classloaders:
There is no possibility of a conflict
between different versions of 3rd party libraries with regard to different targets. e.g. Jalopy
and Cobertura plugins can use different versions of the ORO library and not conflict.
- Development reports are not rewritten: Quokka uses the native reports generated by tools such as
jUnit and Checkstyle. It does not rewrite them and attempt to massage them into a common look and feel.
As most of the key reports such as unit tests and code coverage require frames in any case, rewriting them
adds little value. Using native reports means you have all the features of native reports
immediately when a new version is released.
- Development reports and site generation are separate:
Development reports and web sites usually have very different audiences. In fact, development reports
would usually never be deployed to a web site with the exception of open source projects.
As such, development reports are completely seperate in quokka. This means you don't waste time
transforming a web site to get a new version of a development report.
- No standard definition of things such as mailing lists are built into the core: Quokka project
definitions do not include web site information in them. This allows the project core to be
more stable than maven. Such information can be standardised in a site plugin for quokka if
there is a need.
- Repository definition seperate to the project definition: Maven leaks it's pom.xml into the repository,
including information about test libraries. Quokka repository definitions are completely seperate
and have their own lifecycle indepependent of the project defintion.
Fewer Dependencies
- Core has no external dependencies: The quokka core does not depend on any 3rd party libraries
excluding ANT. As such there is a miminal chance of conflicts with project libraries.
- Plugins do not introduce additional dependencies: Quokka plugins do not introduce
additional dependencies on 3rd party libraries (excluding libraries used in actually peforming the
purpose of the plugin). For example, the maven javadoc plugin introduces a dependency on Apache's commons-lang
library. Quokka plugins do not introduce such dependencies, attempting to keep the overall project dependencies
to a minimum.
- Dependencies are per target, not per plugin: Quokka defines dependencies for each target within
a plugin and allows the selective inclusion of individual targets. This means that if you are not using
a subset of functionality from a plugin you don't need the dependencies for that subset. For example,
a plugin might produce HTML and PDF reports. If you're not interested in PDF reports you could
exclude the PDF target and automatically exclude the PDF dependencies as a result. In constrast,
maven plugins define dependencies at a plugin level.
- Dependency normalisation: Versions of certain 3rd party libraries that are used by multiple
plugins are judiciously "normalised" to the same version. e.g. All libraries using log4j might be
bumped to 1.2.15. Care is taken to regression test any such changes.
- Dependency comparison: TODO ... compare the dependencies required by both frameworks for
typical project types.
Key advantages of Maven:
- Maturity: Maven is a mature product with an active community. Quokka is newcomer currently in
a beta phase with a small community.
- Plugins: The availability of plugins for Maven is far broader.
- Global Repository: Maven has a fairly comprehensive global repository. However, it suffers from
maintenance issues, such as untimely updates. It also includes all transitive dependencies by default
making it awkward to use.
Minor Quokka Advantages
- Code coverage without forking: Quokka provides allows code coverage to be run without "forking"
the build. This means you can get a coverage report without running your tests twice as is the case
with maven.

Aggregates are one of the more challenging aspects of tactical modeling. Developers often end up with large clusters of objects that do not give good performance and scalability. In this three-part series, Vaughn Vernon walks through some common design pitfalls, discusses the pros and cons of various aggregate modeling choices, and provides rules of thumb to guide modeling of aggregates. He de-emphasizes such concerns as navigation through object graphs and instead focuses on digging out real consistency constraints in the business domain, with tips to help the team sift through the usual pile of competing use-cases.
Vaughn's concrete rules spell out the current consensus view of DDD leaders on the style of aggregates that help place development on a more solid footing.


In section \ref{sec:implementing-the-query-system} we will present an implementation of the query interpreter as a collection of functions. In this section we give an overview that explains the general structure of the system independent of low-level implementation details. After describing the implementation of the interpreter, we will be in a position to understand some of its limitations and some of the subtle ways in which the query language's logical operations differ from the operations of mathematical logic.
It should be apparent that the query evaluator must perform some kind of search in order to match queries against facts and rules in the data base. One way to do this would be to implement the query system as a nondeterministic program, using the amb evaluator of section \ref{sec:nondeterministic-evaluation} (see exercise \ref{ex:query-lang-amb}). Another possibility is to manage the search with the aid of streams. Our implementation follows this second approach.
The query system is organized around two central operations called pattern matching and unification. We first describe pattern matching and explain how this operation, together with the organization of information in terms of streams of frames, enables us to implement both simple and compound queries. We next discuss unification, a generalization of pattern matching needed to implement rules. Finally, we show how the entire query interpreter fits together through a function that classifies expressions in a manner analogous to the way evaluate classifies expressions for the interpreter described in section \ref{sec:mc-eval}.
A pattern matcher is a program that tests whether some datum fits a specified pattern. For example, the data list list(list("a", "b"), "c", list("a", "b")) matches the pattern list(x, "c", x) with the pattern variable x bound to list("a", "b"). The same data list matches the pattern list(x, y, z) with x and z both bound to list("a", "b") and y bound to "c". It also matches the pattern list(list(x, y), "c", list(x, y)) with x bound to "a" and y bound to "b". However, it does not match the pattern list(x, "a", y), since that pattern specifies a list whose second element is the string "a".
The pattern matcher used by the query system takes as inputs a pattern, a datum, and a frame that specifies bindings for various pattern variables. It checks whether the datum matches the pattern in a way that is consistent with the bindings already in the frame. If so, it returns the given frame augmented by any bindings that may have been determined by the match. Otherwise, it indicates that the match has failed.
For example, using the pattern list(x, y, z) to match list("a", "b", "c") given an empty frame will return a frame specifying that x is bound to "a" and y is bound to "b". Trying the match with the same pattern, the same datum, and a frame specifying that y is bound to "a" will fail. Trying the match with the same pattern, the same datum, and a frame in which y is bound to b and x is unbound will return the given frame augmented by a binding of x to "a".
The pattern matcher is all the mechanism that is needed to process simple queries that don't involve rules. For instance, to process the query
job(x, list("computer", "programmer"));
The testing of patterns against frames is organized through the use of streams. Given a single frame, the matching process runs through the data-base entries one by one. For each data-base entry, the matcher generates either a special symbol indicating that the match has failed or an extension to the frame. The results for all the data-base entries are collected into a stream, which is passed through a filter to weed out the failures. The result is a stream of all the frames that extend the given frame via a match to some assertion in the data base.[1]
In our system, a query takes an input stream of frames and performs
the above matching operation for every frame in the stream, as
indicated in Figure \ref{fig:query-stream}. That is, for each frame in
the input stream, the query generates a new stream consisting of all
extensions to that frame by matches to assertions in the data base.
All these streams are then combined to form one huge stream, which
contains all possible extensions of every frame in the input stream.
This stream is the output of the query.
To answer a simple query, we use the query with an input stream consisting of a single empty frame. The resulting output stream contains all extensions to the empty frame (that is, all answers to our query). This stream of frames is then used to generate a stream of copies of the original query pattern with the variables instantiated by the values in each frame, and this is the stream that is finally printed.
The real elegance of the stream-of-frames implementation is evident when we deal with compound queries. The processing of compound queries makes use of the ability of our matcher to demand that a match be consistent with a specified frame. For example, to handle the and of two queries, such as
and(can_do_job(x, list("computer", "programmer", "trainee")), job(person, x))
Find all people who can do the job of a computer programmer trainee), we first find all entries that match the pattern
can_do_job(x, list("computer", "programmer", "trainee"))
This produces a stream of frames, each of which contains a binding for x. Then for each frame in the stream we find all entries that match
job(person, x)
Figure \ref{fig:query-or} shows the analogous method for computing the
or of two queries as a parallel combination of the two component
queries. The input stream of frames is extended separately by each
query. The two resulting streams are then merged to produce the final
output stream.
Even from this high-level description, it is apparent that the processing of compound queries can be slow. For example, since a query may produce more than one output frame for each input frame, and each query in an and gets its input frames from the previous query, an and query could, in the worst case, have to perform a number of matches that is exponential in the number of queries (see exercise \ref{ex:q-exponential-and}).[2] Though systems for handling only simple queries are quite practical, dealing with complex queries is extremely difficult.[3]
From the stream-of-frames viewpoint, the not of some query acts as a filter that removes all frames for which the query can be satisfied. For instance, given the pattern
not(job(x, list("computer", "programmer")))
and(supervisor(x, y), not(job(x, list("computer", "programmer"))));
The javascript-value expression is implemented as a similar filter on frame streams. We use each frame in the stream to instantiate any variables in the pattern, then apply the JavaScript predicate. We remove from the input stream all frames for which the predicate fails.
In order to handle rules in the query language, we must be able to
find the rules whose conclusions match a given query pattern. Rule
conclusions are like assertions except that they can contain
variables, so we will need a generalization of pattern
matching—called unification—in which both the pattern
and the datum
may contain variables.
A unifier takes two patterns, each containing constants and variables, and determines whether it is possible to assign values to the variables that will make the two patterns equal. If so, it returns a frame containing these bindings. For example, unifying list(x, "a", y) and list(y, z, "a") will specify a frame in which x, y, and z must all be bound to "a". On the other hand, unifying list(x, y, "a") and list(x, "b", y) will fail, because there is no value for y that can make the two patterns equal. (For the second elements of the patterns to be equal, y would have to be "b"; however, for the third elements to be equal, y would have to be "a".) The unifier used in the query system, like the pattern matcher, takes a frame as input and performs unifications that are consistent with this frame.
The unification algorithm is the most technically difficult part of the query system. With complex patterns, performing unification may seem to require deduction. To unify list(x, x) and list(list("a", y, "c"), list("a", "b", z)), for example, the algorithm must infer that x should be list("a", "b", "c"), y should be "b", and z should be "c". We may think of this process as solving a set of equations among the pattern components. In general, these are simultaneous equations, which may require substantial manipulation to solve.[5] For example, unifying list(x, x) and list(list("a", y, "c"), list("a", "b", z)) may be thought of as specifying the simultaneous equations x $=$ list("a", y, "c") x $=$ list("a", "b", z)
These equations imply that list("a", y, "c") $=$ list("a", "b", z) which in turn implies that "a" $=$ "a", y $=$ "b", "c" $=$ z, and hence that x $=$ list("a", "b", "c")
In a successful pattern match, all pattern variables become bound, and the values to which they are bound contain only constants. This is also true of all the examples of unification we have seen so far. In general, however, a successful unification may not completely determine the variable values; some variables may remain unbound and others may be bound to values that contain variables.
Consider the unification of list(x, "a") and list(list("b", y), z). We can deduce that x $=$ list("b", y) and "a" $=$ z, but we cannot further solve for x or y. The unification doesn't fail, since it is certainly possible to make the two patterns equal by assigning values to x and y. Since this match in no way restricts the values y can take on, no binding for y is put into the result frame. The match does, however, restrict the value of x. Whatever value y has, x must be list("b", y). A binding of x to the pattern list("b", y) is thus put into the frame. If a value for y is later determined and added to the frame (by a pattern match or unification that is required to be consistent with this frame), the previously bound x will refer to this value.[6]
Unification is the key to the component of the query system that makes inferences from rules. To see how this is accomplished, consider processing a query that involves applying a rule, such as
lives_near(x, list("Hacker", "Alyssa", "P"));
To process this query, we first use the ordinary pattern-match function described above to see if there are any assertions in the data base that match this pattern. (There will not be any in this case, since our data base includes no direct assertions about who lives near whom.) The next step is to attempt to unify the query pattern with the conclusion of each rule. We find that the pattern unifies with the conclusion of the rule
rule(lives_near(person_1, person_2), and(address(person_1, pair(town, rest_1)), address(person_2, list(town, rest_2)), not(same(person_1, person_2))));
In general, the query evaluator uses the following method to apply a rule when trying to establish a query pattern in a frame that specifies bindings for some of the pattern variables:
Notice how similar this is to the method for applying a function in the evaluate/apply evaluator for JavaScript:
The similarity between the two evaluators should come as no surprise. Just as function definitions are the means of abstraction in JavaScript, rule definitions are the means of abstraction in the query language. In each case, we unwind the abstraction by creating appropriate bindings and evaluating the rule or function body relative to these.
We saw earlier in this section how to evaluate simple queries in the absence of rules. Now that we have seen how to apply rules, we can describe how to evaluate simple queries by using both rules and assertions.
Given the query pattern and a stream of frames, we produce, for each frame in the input stream, two streams:
Appending these two streams produces a stream that consists of all the ways that the given pattern can be satisfied consistent with the original frame. These streams (one for each frame in the input stream) are now all combined to form one large stream, which therefore consists of all the ways that any of the frames in the original input stream can be extended to produce a match with the given pattern.
Despite the complexity of the underlying matching operations, the system is organized much like an evaluator for any language. The function that coordinates the matching operations is called qeval, and it plays a role analogous to that of the evaluate function for JavaScript. The function qeval takes as inputs a query and a stream of frames. Its output is a stream of frames, corresponding to successful matches to the query pattern, that extend some frame in the input stream, as indicated in Figure \ref{fig:query-stream}. Like evaluate, qeval classifies the different types of expressions (queries) and dispatches to an appropriate function for each. There is a function for each special form (and, or, not, and javascript_value) and one for simple queries.
The driver loop, which is analogous to the driver_loop function for the other evaluators in this chapter, reads queries from the terminal. For each query, it calls qeval with the query and a stream that consists of a single empty frame. This will produce the stream of all possible matches (all possible extensions to the empty frame). For each frame in the resulting stream, it instantiates the original query using the values of the variables found in the frame. This stream of instantiated queries is then printed.[8]
The driver also checks for the special command assert, which signals that the input is not a query but rather an assertion or rule to be added to the data base. For instance,
assert(job(list("Bitdiddle", "Ben"), list("computer", "wizard"))); assert(rule(wheel(person), and(supervisor(middle-manager, person), supervisor(x, middle-manager))));


Binotto: Ferrari prioritised cornering over straight line speed
by Adam NewtonFerrari team boss Mattia Binotto admits the Italian squad are still trailing behind their rivals when it comes to race pace, claiming that they focussed more on cornering speed than straight-line speed at the Brazilian Grand Prix. They were on for a good finish at Interlagos before contact between drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc ended both of their races.
Ferrari's strength this season has been their speed on the straights, with Leclerc taking his victories in Belgium and Italy due to his incredible pace in a straight line.
However, the pace wasn't so evident in Sao Paulo, and Binotto says this is a conscious choice on Ferrari's behalf.
He told Autosport: “We are still lacking a bit of pace in the race – not much, but certainly what’s required to make sure that we stay ahead.
“Sebastian was a comfortable third, he was faster than at least a Mercedes and another Red Bull.
“Charles from 14th would have been on the podium eventually, so I think the race certainly was OK.
“It is the very first time maybe where we are so close to them in grip limited, showing that as Ferrari we are moving in a different set-up direction, giving advantage in the cornering.”
