Hello Friend,What’s Next Meta Space? Metaverse!
Metaverse - Next Meta Space!⌗
Information⌗
The metaverse (a portmanteau of “meta-” and “universe”) is a hypothesized iteration of the internet, supporting persistent online 3-D virtual environments through conventional personal computing, as well as virtual and augmented reality headsets. Metaverses, in some limited form, are already present on platforms like VRChat or video games like Second Life.
Current metaverse ambitions are centered on addressing technological limitations with modern virtual and augmented reality devices, as well as expanding the use of metaverse spaces to business, education, and retail applications. Numerous entertainment and social media companies have invested in metaverse-related research and development
Elements⌗
Some iterations of the metaverse involve integration between virtual and physical spaces and invented economies. Additional qualities include digital persistence and synchronicity in order to better establish a sense of presence in a realistic environment. The metaverse ecosystem encompasses user-centric elements including avatar identity, content creation, virtual economy, social acceptability, presence, security and privacy, and trust and accountability.
Timeline of notable developments⌗
- 1978 – MUDs and MOOs are multi-user virtual environments often based on a map of connected locations and described in text to the users who navigated through the environment and the puzzles with it.
- 1993 – The Metaverse was a MOO (a text-based, low-bandwidth virtual reality system) operated by Steve Jackson Games as part of their BBS, Illuminati Online.
- 1995 – Active Worlds, based entirely on Snow Crash, distributed virtual-reality worlds implementing at least the concept of the metaverse.
- 2003 – Second Life was launched by Linden Lab. The stated goal of the project was to create a user-defined world like the metaverse in which people can interact, play, do business, and otherwise communicate.
- 2004 – X3D was approved by ISO as the successor to the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) as the open standard for interactive real-time 3D (web3D). Today X3D is the standard defining the 3D web and mixed reality open metaverse by combining virtual, mirror, and augmented realities with the web.
- 2006 – Roblox was published.
- 2018 – NeosVR Metaverse was launched by Solirax.
- 2019 – Facebook Horizon was announced as a social VR world by Facebook.
- 2020 – Decentraland launched as a decentralized virtual platform owned and operated by its users.
- 2021 – Epic Games directs fundraising to build out Fortnite into a metaverse.
- 2021 – Microsoft Mesh, a mixed reality software enabling virtual presence through Microsoft devices such as the HoloLens 2, was announced.
- 2021 – South Korea announces the creation of a national metaverse alliance with the goal to build a unified national VR and AR platform.
- 2021 – The parent company of the social network Facebook is renamed from “Facebook, Inc.” to “Meta Platforms”. Its chairman Mark Zuckerberg declared a company commitment to developing a metaverse ecosystem. Various augmented and virtual reality concepts are presented, though much of the underlying technology remains in or has yet to enter development.

Press release
Young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs) stand to benefit from a new scheme.
A pioneering scheme to get young people who are NEET (not in education, employment or training) back on their feet kicks off today with charities and businesses given the go-ahead to prove they can turn young people’s lives around in exchange for cash. Funding worth up to £126 million is being made available to organisations across England, who will be paid by results to get 16- and 17-year-olds back into education or training.
The programme, part of the deputy prime minister’s youth contract, is the first to use payment by results to help get NEETs re-engaged. Organisations involved have had to compete for contracts by showing they are able to get young people back on track. In return for proving they are experts in the field, they will be given freedom to tailor and provide support for disadvantaged young people in the way they know best.
Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, said:
Young people who have fallen through the net need tailored support to get back on track. We can’t treat them like round pegs being forced into square holes - if you’re young and have got to the point where you feel on the scrapheap, you need extra help to succeed in life.
Disengaged young people often have complex problems that act as a barrier to getting them learning again, which the government alone can’t deal with. But very often local charities and businesses know what’s going to help them.
That’s why we’re unlocking funding for these organisations to be as creative and innovative as they can, to do whatever it takes, to get the young people who need it most back on their feet. In exchange for this freedom, all we ask is that they get results. It’s a win-win for government, young people and the organisations involved.
Minister for Employment, Chris Grayling, said:
We think payment by results is the best way to ensure that we deliver the best possible support for young people.
It means the providers have to find the very best ways to help them if they’re to be financially successful, so it’s a win-win for everyone.
So far the youth contract has made an encouraging start, with more young people than expected finding jobs eligible for the wage subsidy.
Children’s Minister, Tim Loughton, said:
Today’s announcement is a significant step in offering up to 55,000 struggling 16- and 17-year-olds real practical support to make the most of staying in education sustainably or getting into jobs and training.
The youth contract programme is bringing together real experts with experience and a track record of supporting young people to move on to the next stage of their lives.
Organisations will receive an initial payment for taking young people on, but will only receive subsequent payments when they show progress, such as getting young people to engage with training programmes or undertake apprenticeships. The contracts on offer are worth up to £2,200 for every young person helped, with the full amount payable only if a young person is still in full-time education, training or work with training six months after re-engaging.
Today, the government is announcing the names of the charities and businesses, with expertise in supporting young people, who have successfully bid to participate. The organisations were required to demonstrate a proven track record in getting young people into education, apprenticeships, training or work with training. Local authorities will work with successful providers to target those young people in their area who will benefit most, fitting this programme with other provision on offer locally.
Providers are required to tailor their support to suit individuals’ needs. Participants will get a wide range of support and take part in projects, for example:
The programme, to take place over the next 3 years, will focus on at least 55,000 16- to 17-year-old NEETs with no GCSEs at A* to C, who are at the highest risk of long-term disengagement. It is intended to improve their experience and qualifications, to give them a better chance of finding work and so reduce the proportion who become unemployed in adult life.
Evidence shows that unemployment early in life can leave a permanent scar on earning potential, with the effects on careers still evident decades later. By the age of 42, someone who had frequent periods of unemployment in their teens is likely to earn 12 to 15% less than their peers.
1) The funding applies to England only. Three areas - Liverpool, Leeds-Bradford-Wakefield and Newcastle-Gateshead - will be able to allocate their own pot of money as part of the government City Deal agenda, aimed at giving more autonomy to England’s core cities.
2) The cost of being NEET between the ages of 16 to 18 is estimated to be around £56,000 in public finance costs and £104,000 in resource costs (lost labour market potential), over the working lifetime of each person who has been NEET at this age.
Evidence suggests there are a number of wider benefits to learning, which include:
3) The scheme is part of the youth contract, which will support 16- to 24-year-olds with £1 billion funding over the next three years. It aims to lift young people out of unemployment. It is being jointly delivered by the Departments for Education, Business Innovation and Skills, and Work and Pensions.
Key features include:
4) Regional breakdown of 16- to 17-year-olds NEET (end 2011):
| Region | Estimated number of NEETs | Percentage of 16- and 17-year-olds who are NEET |
| South east | 8,740 | 4.8 |
| London | 5,660 | 3.6 |
| East of England | 6,590 | 4.9 |
| South west | 5,390 | 4.7 |
| West midlands | 6,460 | 5.0 |
| East midlands | 4,800 | 4.5 |
| Yorks and Humber | 7,110 | 6.1 |
| North west | 9,810 | 5.8 |
| North east | 4,340 | 6.9 |

6) The providers will offer a wide range of services and provision, including:
PPDG will offer a service called Nu Trax, to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for integrated youth services to address barriers to education, employment & training. Varying levels of support to suit the young person include:
Will support young people with a highly personalised programme of work to help them overcome practical and psychological barriers and build motivation, confidence and resilience. Support will include intensive mentoring and personal support from engagement through to six months sustainability in employment, education or training. Specific schemes include:
Will be working alongside other major voluntary organisations including Barnardo’s, Prince’s Trust, YMCA Training and the Children’s Society recruiting ‘youth mentors’ to help young people get involved in community projects and volunteering, offering trials and tasters with colleges and employers and using sport, art and music to help young people realise they have something positive to contribute.
TCHC and their partners will provide an intensive mentoring support service that will engage with young people, conduct initial assessments of their needs and prepare an action plan indicating what tailored support they need to help re-engage them back into education, employment or training. It is likely that the young person will have major barriers to sustaining engagement, so will need the ongoing support provided by their mentor who will stay with them throughout the programme.
Additional support offered will include:
Support for young people will include:
Skills Training UK and its local partnership network in communities across the south east regions will re-engage 16- to 17-year-olds who have left school without qualifications and not gone into any further education or employment. Each young person will have a personal mentor who will support them throughout their journey, helping develop and prepare them to re-enter training, education or employment with an Apprenticeship and supporting them with any personal issues or concerns they might face. Helping the young person to sustain their new beginning will be key and the personal mentor will stay involved throughout.

As you my know may know, I’m the developer of the scotbot backend. The bot is written in python and uses my beem library. In order to add your token to scotbot, the active key of the token issuer account itself or any other account that have sufficient token in their wallet is needed. The bot uses the key to send out token when a user has a sufficient amount of pending token and is willing to claim them.
You can read more about it here.
Let me explain all parameter that can be set at https://sto.steem-engine.com/#/launch/scotbot:
json_metadata_key
and json_metadata_value
This parameter is important, it defines which parameter in the json metadata of a post is checked. One possible choice is “tags”. Only posts that have a json_metadata_key
parameter in the json metadata field are included and can collect rewards. The value of the json_metadata_key
must include or be equal to json_metadata_value
.
When json_metadata_key="tags"
and json_metadata_value="scottest"
, then only posts that have a “scottest” tag can have pending tokens. Pending tokens will be generated when token holder upvote this post.
json_metadata_key
can also be a new parameter, as for example scot_token
. In this case, a new frontend is needed that broadcasts posts that have this parameter in its json metadata field.
When json_metadata_key="scot_token"
and json_metadata_value="MYTOKEN"
, posts that have:
1 | json_metadata": { |
can have receive token from the MYTOKEN reward pool.
At the moment it is advised to use the tags
parameter and define a tag that every post must use for receiving token from the reward pool
rewards_token
and rewards_token_every_n_block
These two parameters define the size of the reward pool. Every rewards_token_every_n_block
steem blocks, the reward pool is increased by rewards_token
.
When for example rewards_token_every_n_block=3
and rewards_token=8
, 8 token are added to the reward pool every 9s (3 blocks). Every hour, 3200 token are added to the pool and every day 76800 token.
The reward pool is distributed entirely to authors and voters.
reduction_every_n_block
and reduction_percentage
Every reduction_every_n_block
blocks, the amount of token that are added to the pool is reduced by reduction_percentage
.
When reduction_every_n_block = 10512000
and reduction_percentage = 0.5
, the reward is reduced by 0.5% every year. For example, when the old reward was 8 token, it is reduced after the first year to
1 | 8 / (1.005) = 7.96 |
cashout_window_days
This parameter defines when voting on a post is closed and the amount of pending token can be claimed. For example for steem, cashout_window_days
is 7.
issue_token
When this parameter is true, claimed token are send out with the issue command. This is only be possible when the token account is also the token creator. When issue_token
is false, token are send out with the transfer command. In this case, the token account just needs to have sufficient token in its wallet.
author_reward_percentage
Defines the split between post creator and upvoter. When it is set to author_reward_percentage = 50
, 50% of the pending tokens goes to the author and the remaining 50% to the voters.
author_curve_exponent
This parameter can be a number between 1 and 2. author_curve_exponent = 1
is equivalent to linear and author_curve_exponent > 1
means super linear.
The pending token for a post are calculated as follow:
1 | y = token_config[token]["author_curve_exponent"] |
When author_curve_exponent > 1
, it means that posts with more votes will receive an increased share from the reward pool.
Example
When author_curve_exponent = 1
, and we have two posts, one with 100 rshares and one with 1000 rshares and the reward_pool has 1 token:
1 | pending_token = 100 / 1100 * 1 = 0.09 |
and
1 | pending_token = 1000 / 1100 * 1 = 0.91 |
When author_curve_exponent = 2
, the pending_rshares is 100 100 + 10001000 = 1010000
1 | pending_token = 100 * 100 / 1010000 * 1 = 0.009 |
and
1 | pending_token = 1000 * 1000 / 1010000 * 1 = 0.991 |
curation_curve_exponent
This parameter defines the curation rewards. It can be a number between 0.5 and 2.
The curation reward which can be given to the voters is
1 | curation_reward = pending_token - author_reward |
For each vote, a weight is calculated. When curation_curve_exponent = 1
, the weight is linear the vote rshares.
1 | y = token_config[token]["curation_curve_exponent"] |
The vote_weight of all voters is summed up in total_vote_weight
.
The curation reward is then
1 | pending_curation_token = int(curation_reward * vote_weight / total_vote_weight) |
Example
curation_curve_exponent = 0.5
, curation_reward = 1
, one vote with 100 rshares and a later vote with 1000 rshares.
1 | sum_rshares = 0 |
The first voter receives:
1 | 1 * 10 / 33.166 = 0.302 |
and the second voter receives:
1 | 1 * 23.166 / 33.166 = 0.698 |
vote_regeneration_seconds
and vote_power_consumption
These two parameter defines how often it is possible to vote. These parameters are integer in the steem percentage notation 100 means 1 %.
vote_power_consumption
defines how the vote power is reduced with a 100% vote. When it is set to 200 (2%), the vote power is reduced to 98% when voting at full vote power and a weight of 100%.
vote_regeneration_seconds
defines in which time duration an empty vote power is regenerating to 100%.
downvote_regeneration_seconds
and downvote_power_consumption
These two parameter defines how often it is possible to downvote. When downvote_regeneration_seconds
is set to a positve integer, a second downvote pool is activated.
When a downvote pool is active, downvoting does not reduce the vote power.
downvote_power_consumption
defines how the downvote power is reduced with a 100% downvote. When it is set to 200 (2%), the downvote power is reduced to 98% when downvoting at a full downvote power and a weight of 100%.
downvote_regeneration_seconds
defines in which time duration an empty downvote power is regenerating to 100%. When this parameter is negative, the downvote pool is deactivated and downvoting will reduce the vote power.

| bool TriangleEPA::computeSilhouette | ( | const Vector3 * | vertices, |
| uint | indexNewVertex, | ||
| TrianglesStore & | triangleStore | ||
| ) |
Execute the recursive silhouette algorithm from this triangle face.
The parameter "vertices" is an array that contains the vertices of the current polytope and the parameter "indexNewVertex" is the index of the new vertex in this array.
The goal of the silhouette algorithm is to add the new vertex in the polytope by keeping it convex. Therefore, the triangle faces that are visible from the new vertex must be removed from the polytope and we need to add triangle faces where each face contains the new vertex and an edge of the silhouette. The silhouette is the connected set of edges that are part of the border between faces that are seen and faces that are not seen from the new vertex. This method starts from the nearest face from the new vertex, computes the silhouette and create the new faces from the new vertex in order that we always have a convex polytope. The faces visible from the new vertex are set obselete and will not be considered as being a candidate face in the future.

Informed Thoughts on c#
Posted November 14, 2016 by Matt Kraatz
Coming into c# a blank slate, my expectations for the language were based solely on surface-level conversations with mentors and instructors, which usually carried a tone of ominous sobriety. As students relatively new to coding and just entering our second language, fear of the unknown was rampant. I had a sense that my transition into a statically-typed, newly open-sourced language would be difficult and frustrating, but hopefully achievable and ultimately rewarding.
Fear of the unknown is exactly that, uncertainty about not knowing what you don’t know, and not knowing what it even is that you don’t know. What I failed to recognize was everything that I already did know: object-oriented programming, inheritance, asynchronous http requests, MVC design patterns, and so much more. Those were all things I had to learn for the first time with JavaScript, and only need to translate into c# and .NET (although that translation can feel like Chinese at times).
After the first few weeks of culture shock from feeling my way around a c# program, I became comfortable with the syntax and started feeling like my pace of learning slowed. This was frustrating to me–but ultimately a false perception that took me weeks to overcome. Sure, my brain hurt a little more after an average day of JavaScript study a few months ago, but while I was learning JavaScript I was also learning those core programming principles detailed above. So instead of learning the core principle alongside the language and framework magic, I’m just learning the language and everything is coming a little more naturally. I surprised myself by how quickly I was able to pick up c#, and am ultimately far more confident in my ability to pick up any other new language.
Now, for some unordered thoughts:
- Statically-typed, compiled languages are a welcome relief from JavaScript. It’s much easier to read and navigate, and I’m catching bugs from compilation warnings and errors rather than having to manually test my app in the browser.
- Speaking of tests, practicing test driven development with xUnit is a breeze and provides a great structure for planning and designing that was a bit harder to execute in JavaScript (or maybe it’s just the repetition that’s helping).
- Visual Studio is the best IDE I’ve ever used. The debugger is amazing and Intellisense has made me incredibly more productive while writing code.
- .NET (and especially .NET Core) is so vast and fragmented that the right documentation is a bit harder to come by. I’m pining for a documentation repository comparable to MDN and so far have been left disappointed.
- This is a really exciting time for Microsoft. They’re making themselves relevant again by open-sourcing .NET Core and focusing on the development community, and I’m excited to be a part of this new wave.
Overall, I’m really glad to have chosen this particular curriculum for my introduction to software development. JavaScript and c# are near polar opposites philosophically, so having an understanding of both ends will make it easier to consume anything inbetween (or beyond). Now I’m looking forward to my final capstone project to demonstrate my mastery of these concepts and to challenge myself even more.

Substance - Methylone
Experience - first time
Setting - my basement
August 24th, 2003
Methylone is a drug I have heard many good things about. There is not as much literature available about methylone as there is other chemicals. Much of the information I have about it comes from trusted friends rather than books. Trip reports have also helped me make decisions about this drug. From the reports I decided anywhere between 125mg up to 175mg sounded like a reasonable starting dose.
For the effects, I did not know specifically what to expect. Some reports made it sound as though it was almost identical to MDMA, while others seemed to make it sound more like a narcotic than a psychedelic. Although I wasnít positive how this drug would work in my body, I was a bit re-assured reading that the only real negative aspect was that some found the effects boring.
I decided that 150mg would be a good starting point. 150mg was not too low, but not very high either. I felt this would give me a good taste of what methylone has to offer without going overboard. On this day I had just finished a long work day, and was planning on spending the evening with my girlfriend R. She is a little nervous about me taking a new drug (as she always is), but I assure her I am being safe and will emerge from the experience alive and well.
I was unable to find any gelcaps to place the decently large pile of powder into. I decided to utilize a technique taught to me at concerts for taking MDMA. I wrapped the powder in a little piece of tissue paper. Knowing how easily tissues dissolve when wet, I had no doubt that my stomach acid could eat through it.
It was exactly 11 PM when I tossed the little package into the back of my mouth. Swallowing it was actually quite hard, as once moistened the paper started breaking open, spilling terrible tasting powder into my mouth. I quickly downed a can of soda I had. The taste lingered for about a minute, but then faded. R looks a little worried, as she always does in these situations. I give her a hug, and we turn towards the television. We just sit there in each others arms, while I wait for the effects to manifest themselves.
Normally I fast before taking psychedelics to help nausea and to decrease the amount of time the drug takes to effect me. I first noticed the methylone at 11:39 PM. My visual field took on my usual MDMA look. To me it always looks as though I have just gone from watching VHS and switched to a DVD. Details of everything seem so crisp. There is no movement, but everything is pleasing to the eye. I also notice that I have a growing level of euphoria. I feel generally good. The effects really crept up on me. I did not even notice them, until I stopped to think about it.
Shortly after I noticed the first effects I began to experience a greatly hightened sense of touch. Holding R was even more pleasing now, as it physically felt amazing. I then had the idea of asking R to give me a massage. She is quite skilled at it, and I figured it might feel that much better now. Sure enough, I was correct. I could almost feel myself going deeper into the methylone world with each movement her hand made across my back. It was truly fantastic.
I looked at a clock and saw it was around 12:15 AM. I was at a modest +2. It was at this time we began to get a little frisky. Exploring Rís body was so delightful. It was pleasing to every sense I had, and some I didnít know I had. I not only felt my love for her, but her love for me. It was being experienced in a way I had not known before. The sheer feeling of her love boosted my euphoria into levels that words cannot do justice to describe.
We then made love. This is only my second time having sexual contact on a psychedelic. On 2C-T-7 I was able to perform better than usual. However methylone, unlike MDMA, gave me no trouble keeping an erection, and also made me achieve orgasm much sooner than I would have liked to. The actually act of sex was very rewarding, and we took it slowly. The intensity though, even while going at a slow pace, was too much for my nerve endings to handle. After what seemed like hours, though it was only minutes, I achieved orgasm. It was so intense that I saw flashes of light behind my eyes. When it was over, I was shaking from the amazing feeling I had just had both physically and mentally. I had merged into R for just a second, but also and eternity.
The time had come for R to leave for the night. I knew it was coming, but I would still miss her. As I walked her to the car, I felt the cool night breeze blow through my dreadlocks, sending them flying all over. It felt so nice to be outside, something I seldom get to do on my trips. I kissed her goodnight and stayed outside for a few minutes watching the stars. I love to look into the sky and wonder just how far away they are. It was a beautiful clear night.
When I returned inside I came back down and went to my computer to see if anyone was online. At this point I feel I was peaking, but I was still only at a mild +2. I was definitely comfortable, but not blown away. I looked around the room and saw slight patterning if I looked just right, but nothing visually other than that. Before settling in to talk to people via the internet, I smoked a pipe of marijuana. Usually when Iím tripping marijuana intensifies the trip, but this time it made me high like it usually does. The high blended with the effects of the methylone creating a very interesting state. I was thinking deeper now, and things seemed to shimmer a little bit more. I was now at a strong +2.
I said a few words to others online in IRC and on AOL Instant Messenger, but after a few moments I became lost in thought. R came into my head, which is never a bad thing, but I was viewing her and myself differently. I love her a tremendous amount, but right now I was questioning how adequately I show her that. I take her out to dinner, to the movies and other things, but I wonder if I make it clear how much I do love her. I worry that I havenít been treating her like the queen I see her as. I vow from this moment on the make sure that I always let her know how I really feel.
It was around 2 AM when things began to die down. I took 150mg diphenhydramine, which takes about two hours to put me to sleep. I just spend the last time talking to some of my friends who have left for college, and listening to the Beatles album ďAbbey RoadĒ, which is my personal favorite.
Around 4 AM I fell asleep with no trouble.
---------------------------------------------------------
Methylone was good. It is as simple as that. Everything about this chemical felt right. I experienced absolutely no side effects. There was no nausea, no tight jaw, no hangover, or anything else I could complain about. It would definitely be hard to explain its actions though without making mention to MDMA. It feels as though they are brothers, each unique in there own way, but still much alike. The only downside to my experience was the mildness of it, as I only achieved a modest +2. Iím sure this was due to my low dose, as some reports indicate needing at least 175mg for a good experience. Still, my night with methylone was beautiful.
I canít see methylone become a party drug for one main reason. There is no stimulation with this one. MDMA makes me dance uncontrollably, and keeps me up and moving. Methylone made me much more content sitting down and relaxing. The body high was almost opiate like for me. It almost discourages much movement. It is more rewarding to sit back, smile, and let you mind drift away.
Mentally, methylone gets yet another high score. It was very mind revealing, yet it never was pushy. It showed me all the doors, but didnít push me through. I thought it was an excellent chemical to work with. As far as psychotherapeutic value goes, in my opinion methylone would be right at the top with MDMA. I could easily see this being beneficial to people in the proper setting.
Methylone has been placed on the list of my favorite drugs. This one seems to be an all around winner. While itís not really ďfunĒ it excels in ways other ďfunĒ drugs could not ever hope to.

The anti-virus software should be kept up-to-date through regular, automatic updates.
Find the master installation of the anti-virus software and make sure that it has the capability to automatically update itself. Take a sample of systems that have the anti-virus software installed and check the options to verify that automatic updates are enabled. To check the anti-virus options, locate the anti-virus administration interface. Some anti-virus packages have a control panel on the systems where they are deployed and some anti-virus suites offer a centralized control panel. The number of options offered by the anti-virus interface is usually small enough that a person with an IT background can figure out what all of them are and how to use them. The administration interface usually has an option to enable automatic updates and configure their frequency. Check the logs to make sure that the automatic updates are taking place.
Verify that it is possible to run automatic updates with your anti-virus by referring to the vendor documentation or technical support. The documentation or technical support should provide the exact instructions on how to implement automatic updates. Automatic updates are a basic feature of modern anti-virus packages. If your anti-virus does not offer this feature, please consider installing and configuring a different anti-virus.

“The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. -John McCarthy-
Artificial Intelligence is an approach to make a computer, a robot, or a product to think how smart human think. AI is a study of how human brain think, learn, decide and work, when it tries to solve problems.  The aim of AI is to improve computer functions which are related to human knowledge, for example, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving.
Artificial intelligence algorithms are generally grouped into three categories. These are Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning. This webpage mostly focuses on Neural Networks, Search Algorithms and Reinforcement Learning.

class ScreenTapGesture
The ScreenTapGesture class represents a tapping gesture by a finger or tool.
A screen tap gesture is recognized when the tip of a finger pokes forward and then springs back to approximately the original postion, as if tapping a vertical screen. The tapping finger must pause briefly before beginning the tap.
<img src="images/Leap_Gesture_Tap2.png"/>
Important: To use screen tap gestures in your application, you must enable recognition of the screen tap gesture. You can enable recognition with:
TODO
ScreenTap gestures are discrete. The ScreenTapGesture object representing a tap always has the state, STATE_STOP. Only one ScreenTapGesture object is created for each screen tap gesture recognized.

Empty streets on Black Friday as customers choose to shop online instead
Black Friday got off to a very, very quiet start this morning.
It seems the days of people fighting over a reduced price TV in a car park for the annual sales event are over.
Busy shopping areas such as London’s Oxford St were basically empty before stores opened up.
There was one solitary queue outside JD Sports, but that was about it.
It was similarly silent in other areas of the country, with Twitter user David Pollitt posting a picture of himself standing alone in a Tesco queue in Accrington, Lancashire.
He wrote: ‘3:50 am at tesco Accrington and I’m the only 1 here waiting for it to open at 5 am.
‘Things you do for a good deal for the kids Christmas presents #BlackFriday #minus1 #Christmas2019.’

Black Friday, which is an import from the US, hasn’t really taken off inside stores in the UK.
A lot of this is due to the fact people prefer to stay at home and order deals from the internet, according to PwC.
A survey from PwC revealed 77% of UK customers would be shopping online for bargains.
A study from Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) also showed only 16% of the UK public believed Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals were genuinely some of the best prices they’d see all year.
CIM CEO Chris Daly said: ‘Clearly, authenticity about the deals on offer is impacting consumer confidence, and this is not good news for brands interested in winning the long-term loyalty of their customers.
‘Consumers are relying on discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday to shop more smartly in the run up to Christmas, but they will not be taken advantage of.’
UK retailers were still expected to make recoup a record £2.5billion in sales this year so it’s not all bad news.
The Black Friday sales aren’t going as well in the US as in previous years after they kicked off on Thanks Giving yesterday.
With six fewer holiday shopping season days than last year, it will be the shortest season since 2013 because Thanksgiving fell on the fourth Thursday in November – the latest possible date it could be.
Advertisement Advertisement
That means customers will have less time to shop and retailers will have less time to woo them.
Adobe Analytics predicts a loss of $1 billion (£775m) in online revenue from a shortened season.
Still, it expects online sales will reach $143.7 billion (£111b), up 14.1% from last year’s holiday season

The configbody command is used outside of an [incr Tcl] class definition to define or redefine the configuration code associated with a public variable. Public variables act like configuration options for an object. They can be modified outside the class scope using the built-in configure method. Each variable can have a bit of "config" code associate with it that is automatically executed when the variable is configured. The configbody command can be used to define or redefine this body of code.
Like the body command, this facility allows a class definition to have separate "interface" and "implementation" parts. The "interface" part is a class command with declarations for methods, procs, instance variables and common variables. The "implementation" part is a series of body and configbody commands. If the "implementation" part is kept in a separate file, it can be sourced again and again as bugs are fixed, to support interactive development. When using the "tcl" mode in the emacs editor, the "interface" and "implementation" parts can be kept in the same file; as bugs are fixed, individual bodies can be highlighted and sent to the test application.
The name "className::varName" identifies the public variable being updated. If the body string starts with "@", it is treated as the symbolic name for a C procedure. Otherwise, it is treated as a Tcl command script.
Symbolic names for C procedures are established by registering procedures via Itcl_RegisterC(). This is usually done in the Tcl_AppInit() procedure, which is automatically called when the interpreter starts up.

flibs/sqlite - Interface to SQLite
The sqlite module provides a Fortran interface to the SQLite database management system (SQLite 3 to be more precise). The interface has been implemented in such a way, that you can use a high-level interface for common tasks, such as inserting data into a database and querying the contents, as well as lower-level functionality, accessible via SQL statements, for instance.
To this end the module defines a set of routines and functions as well as several derived types to hide the low-level details.
In its current form, it does not provide a full Fortran API to all the functionality offered by SQLite, but it should be quite useable.
Note: When in doubt, consult the SQLite documentation at http://www.sqlite.org - most routines merely prepare SQL statements or are a simple interface to the original C functions.
The following derived types are defined:
Variables of this type are used to hold the connection to the database or databases. They are created by the subroutine sqlite3_open
The contents are valid until the database is closed (via sqlite3_close).
Variables of this type hold prepared statements, the common method for database management systems to efficiently execute SQL statements.
To provide easy communication with the database, SQLITE_COLUMN can hold values of different types. This means you can use a single routine and variable to transfer strings, integers or reals to and from the database.
The first two derived types are "opaque", that is they are used only to communicate between the application and the database library and there is information of interest to be gotten from them.
The third type is rather crucial to the working of the implementation: By setting the properties of an SQLITE_COLUMN variable you put data into the database or you can retrieve data from the database. See the example below for how this works.
There are a number of routines that are meant to make this easier:
Set the properties of a column
The variable that holds the information on the column
Name of the column in the table to which it belongs or will belong
Type of the column: one of SQLITE_INT, SQLITE_REAL, SQLITE_DOUBLE or SQLITE_CHAR
Length of a character-valued column (defaults to 20 characters)
Set the properties of a column when constructing a SELECT query. The "function" argument, if present, is a string representing an SQL function like count or max.
The variable that holds the information on the column
Name of the column in the table to which it belongs or will belong
Type of the column: one of SQLITE_INT, SQLITE_REAL, SQLITE_DOUBLE or SQLITE_CHAR
Length of a character-valued column (defaults to 20 characters)
Name of the SQL function to perform on the values.
Set the value of a column
The variable that holds the information on the column
The new value for the column. The type of the value that is passed can be integer, real, double precision real or character string.
Note: currently there is no conversion from the type of value that is stored to the type of the actual variable that is passed to the routine. If you ask for an integer and the column holds a real, then the result is undefined. Check the type with the value of the flag "type_set". (This is one of the things that should be improved)
Get the value of a column
The variable that holds the information on the column
The value stored in the column. The type of the value that is passed can be integer, real, double precision real or character string.
The sqlite module currently provides the following functions:
Open a database file and store the connection for later use.
The name of the database file (it may also be ":mem" to get a memory-based database instead of a file on disk)
Variable to identify the database connection
Close the database connection. Simply an interface to the corresponding C function.
Variable identifying the database connection
Retrieve whether the previous command resulted in an error or not. Returns true if so, otherwise false.
Variable identifying the database connection
Retrieve the last error message as a string of at most 80 characters.
Variable identifying the database connection
Run a single SQL command
Variable identifying the database connection
String holding a complete SQL command
Start a transaction. When the corresponding routine sqlite3_commit is called, all changes will be made permanent. Use a transaction to gather lots of changes to the database - this is much faster than an automatic commission after each change.
Variable identifying the database connection
Commit the changes made since the start of a transaction. This makes the changes permanent.
Variable identifying the database connection
Undo the changes made since the start a transaction. The database will be restored to the state it was in before the transaction was started.
Variable identifying the database connection
Create a new table, based on the properties of the columns. Convenience routine that constructs an SQL statement to do the actual job.
Variable identifying the database connection
Name of the table to be created
An array of the properties of the columns in the tables (name, type, ...)
Name of the column that acts as the primary key (this gets the "unique" constraint)
Delete an existing table by name. Convenience routine that constructs an SQL statement to do the actual job.
Variable identifying the database connection
Name of the table to be deleted
Prepare a SELECT query. Convenience routine that creates the SQL query and "compiles" (prepares) it for later actual execution.
Variable identifying the database connection
Name of the table to be queried
An array of the properties of the columns to be returned
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
A string holding an extra clause, such as "SORT BY" or "GROUP BY"
Prepare a general SQL statement for later actual execution. The statement can be any SQL statement.
Variable identifying the database connection
The SQL statement to be prepared
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
An array of the properties of the columns that will be returned by the statement. The routine returns an allocated array. You must deallocate it yourself, when it is no longer needed.
Run the prepared SQL statement for one step. The code in completion will tell whether it was successful or not. Simply an interface to the equivalent C routine.
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
One of the values SQLITE_DONE (success), SQLITE_MISUSE or SQLITE_ERROR
Reset the prepared statement so that it can be used again.
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
Free all resources associated with the prepared statement.
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
Retrieve the next row of a SELECT query. If the argument "finished" is set to true, the previous row was the last one.
A derived type used as a handle to the prepared statement
Set to true if the last row was retrieved.
Insert a complete new row into the table.
Variable identifying the database connection
Name of the table into which the row must be inserted
An array of values for all columns
Get the result of a query in a single two-dimensional array
Variable identifying the database connection
The SQL command (query) to executed
A two-dimensional array that will be filled with the results of the SQl command. When done, you will have to deallocate it.
If there is an error, then "result" will not be allocated, and "errmsg" will contain the information about the error that occurred.
Query the structure of the table
Variable identifying the database connection
Name of the table to be inspected
An array with the properties of all columns. Deallocate it when you are done.
To illustrate the usage of the library, here is a small example:
Store (fictitious) measurements of salinity and temperature from a CSV file in a single table of a new database.
To check that it works, retrieve the average salinity and average temperature per station and print them sorted by station name
The first part of the program simply defines the table:
allocate( column(4) ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(1), name(1), SQLITE_CHAR, 10 ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(2), name(2), SQLITE_CHAR, 10 ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(3), name(3), SQLITE_REAL ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(4), name(4), SQLITE_REAL ) call sqlite3_create_table( db, 'measurements', column )
The second part reads the data file and stores the data in a new row:
call sqlite3_begin( db ) do read( lun, *, iostat=ierr ) station, date, salin, temp if ( ierr .ne. 0 ) exit call sqlite3_set_column( column(1), station ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(2), date ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(3), salin ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(4), temp ) call sqlite3_insert( db, 'measurements', column ) enddo close( lun ) call sqlite3_commit( db )
Note that it uses a transaction (via calls to sqlite3_begin and sqlite3_commit pair), so that all the inserts can be done in one go. Inserting with autocommit is much slower, as the database file needs to be flushed very time.
The last part retrieves the data by constructing an SQL query that will actually look like:
select station, avg(salinity), avg(temperature) from measurements grouped by station order by station;
The routine sqlite3_prepare_select takes care of the actual construction of the above SQL query:
deallocate( column ) allocate( column(3) ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(1), 'station', SQLITE_CHAR ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(2), name(3), SQLITE_REAL, function='avg' ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(3), name(4), SQLITE_REAL, function='avg' ) call sqlite3_prepare_select( db, 'measurements', column, stmt, & 'group by station order by station' ) write( *, '(3a20)' ) 'Station', 'Mean salinity', 'Mean temperature' do call sqlite3_next_row( stmt, column, finished ) if ( finished ) exit call sqlite3_get_column( column(1), station ) call sqlite3_get_column( column(2), salin ) call sqlite3_get_column( column(3), temp ) write( *, '(a20,2f20.3)' ) station, salin, temp enddo
The full program looks like this (see also the tests/examples directory of the Flibs project):
! csvtable.f90 -- ! Program to read a simple CSV file and put it into a !  To keep it simple: ! - The first line contains the names of the four columns ! - All lines after that contain the name of the station ! the date and the two values. ! ! $Id$ ! program csvtable use sqlite implicit none type(SQLITE_DATABASE) :: db type(SQLITE_STATEMENT) :: stmt type(SQLITE_COLUMN), dimension(:), pointer :: column integer :: lun = 10 integer :: i integer :: ierr character(len=40), dimension(4) :: name real :: salin real :: temp character(len=40) :: station character(len=40) :: date logical :: finished ! ! Read the CSV file and feed the data into the database ! open( lun, file = 'somedata.csv' ) read( lun, * ) name call sqlite3_open( 'somedata.db', db ) allocate( column(4) ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(1), name(1), SQLITE_CHAR, 10 ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(2), name(2), SQLITE_CHAR, 10 ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(3), name(3), SQLITE_REAL ) call sqlite3_column_props( column(4), name(4), SQLITE_REAL ) call sqlite3_create_table( db, 'measurements', column ) ! ! Insert the values into the table. For better performance, ! make sure (via begin/commit) that the changes are committed ! only once. ! call sqlite3_begin( db ) do read( lun, *, iostat=ierr ) station, date, salin, temp if ( ierr .ne. 0 ) exit call sqlite3_set_column( column(1), station ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(2), date ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(3), salin ) call sqlite3_set_column( column(4), temp ) call sqlite3_insert( db, 'measurements', column ) enddo close( lun ) call sqlite3_commit( db ) ! ! We want a simple report, the mean of salinity and temperature ! sorted by the station ! deallocate( column ) allocate( column(3) ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(1), 'station', SQLITE_CHAR ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(2), name(3), SQLITE_REAL, function='avg' ) call sqlite3_column_query( column(3), name(4), SQLITE_REAL, function='avg' ) call sqlite3_prepare_select( db, 'measurements', column, stmt, & 'group by station order by station' ) write( *, '(3a20)' ) 'Station', 'Mean salinity', 'Mean temperature' do call sqlite3_next_row( stmt, column, finished ) if ( finished ) exit call sqlite3_get_column( column(1), station ) call sqlite3_get_column( column(2), salin ) call sqlite3_get_column( column(3), temp ) write( *, '(a20,2f20.3)' ) station, salin, temp enddo call sqlite3_close( db ) end program
The module is not complete yet:
There is no support for blobs or for character strings of arbitrary length. In fact the maximum string length is limited to 80 characters.
There is no support for NULL values or for DATE values.
The SQLite API is not completely covered, though the subset should be useful for many applications.
There are no makefiles that can help build the library yet. See the implementation notes below.
While the module is fairly straightforward Fortran 95 code, building a library out of it may not be straightforward due to the intricacies of C-Fortran interfacing.
This section aims to give a few guidelines:
The C code contains all the platform-dependent code, so that the Fortran code could remain clean.
To support more than one platform, the C code contains several macros:
FTNCALL - the calling convention for Fortran routines (important on Windows). It is automatically set to __stdcall when the macro "WIN32" has been defined (by the compiler or by specifying it on the command-line).
INBETWEEN - this macro controls whether the hidden arguments for passing the string length are put inbetween the arguments (if it is defined) or appended to the end (if it is not defined). Under Windows the Compaq Visual Fortran compiler used to use the first method, so this is automatically set. For other platforms the second method is more usual.
The naming convention (additional underscore, all capitals or all lowercase) has been handled in a simple-minded fashion. This should be improved too.
The library has been designed with 64-bits platforms in mind: it should run on these platforms without any difficulties.

This site has the extension code adapted to use on this site as a preview. To scroll simply hold your hand flat over your Leap Motion. When you extend your fingers toward the ceiling, the page will scroll up. When you flex your fingers toward the floor, the page will scroll down.
Extend only your pointer finger to move the Leap Motion cursor. To click, extend your thumb.
Include this library with a single script reference and have your website navicable by Leap Motion.
To use the BrowseWithLeap library, simply download the library here and add this reference to your HTML:
<script src="js/BrowseWithLeap.js"></script>
The library exposes simple events to attach to the lifecycle of the Leap Motion controller. For example, in the Preview section, you can see the status of the device. This is accomplished by the following code:
BrowseWithLeap.DeviceAttached = function () { var status = document.getElementById("status"); status.innerText = "Attached"; status.style.color = "black"; } BrowseWithLeap.DeviceStreaming = function () { var status = document.getElementById("status"); status.innerText = "Connected"; status.style.color = "green"; } BrowseWithLeap.DeviceStopped = function () { var status = document.getElementById("status"); status.innerText = "Disconnected"; status.style.color = "darkred"; }
