At 70, Carol is growing a social media platform with her son
by Emma KoehnMother and son entrepreneurial team Carol and Shaun Mahoney had a business brainwave in a hospital room.
A significant injury had left Shaun, then in his early 40s, in need of multiple neurosurgical procedures throughout 2014. The lack of human connection and loneliness during this time was starting to take its toll.
"We started talking more and more about that and thinking about what we could do to help others," Shaun says.
The discussion about loneliness resonated strongly with Carol, who could see despite the prevalence of social media many people were struggling to find regular face-to-face contact.
"With the age group I'm in, I saw this happening with many of my friends," Carol, who is now 70, says.
The duo had run technology businesses together before and built an online platform for small business contract referrals. They decided to rework it into a site for building social connections between those over 55 years old.
They invested around $750,000 in Chirpy Plus, a members-only site that also connects users to local meet-up groups, online bingo and an emergency call function to directly connect users to family and friends.
The process for finding potential users involved making the pitch in person.
"Our initial growth strategy was kind of organic: I just started driving around and talking to people. We then started micro advertising, and it mushroomed from there," Shaun says.
For eight dollars a month, members can tap into a network of 20,000 users and find local lunch and catch-up groups in their area.
Carol says as the Brisbane-based business has grown, she's come to appreciate the level of bravery it takes for someone to go out and meet with strangers if they have been socially isolated.
"I make a point to go around and meet our members.
Over the past few years she's met users of the platform who have logged on after very stressful events, like the death of a spouse or having to relocate to a new suburb or home.
"One lady who is running one of our catch ups now, had just moved into the area. She now has a group of six or seven people, and she’s now really confident," Carol says.
Chirpy Plus has also grown to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars and is currently sitting at the $500,000 mark. The business has attracted $300,000 worth of external investment, including from NZ rich-lister Bill Smale.
The team is looking to launch into new markets, starting in the UK. Shaun says the company launched into a society where loneliness has been taking its toll on older Australians in particular.
"It's the unspoken epidemic. The health implications and the social implications are big and our focus is to just make a difference in the lives of people."
Another key appeal of the startup is its focus on friendship, Shaun says: "We're a moderated platform, a members-only platform and we are not a dating site."
The demise of neighbourly knowledge
The costs of loneliness and social disconnection in Australia have been a concern for years.
In its quarterly welfare report in September, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare highlighted half of Australia's population report feeling lonely at least one day a week, while one in ten people over 15 say they lack the right social support in their lives.
Founders like Mike Banks argue technology has made it less likely for Australians to call on their neighbours for help.
"It’s increasingly awkward or socially unacceptable to proactively reach out," Banks says.
Banks, who was previously chief of real estate startup LocalAgentFinder, has invested six figures over the past year to create neighbourhood building company Streethubs.
The company maps streets across Australia and gives each property a unique code on the Streethubs platform, which lets neighbours build their own closed social networks.
Banks started by mapping streets and then sending out fliers to properties to make his pitch.
"It was quite overwhelming. You're kind of hoping for half a percent of responses to be successful, but anywhere between 10 and 20 per cent were coming back [and signing up]," he says.
"On the idea of being really isolated, we've really broken that down: by doing this [signing up to Streethubs], it gives you permission to reach out when you need to - that gives some level of comfort," Banks says.
Loneliness-busters are not always the most profitable sector, however, and the model is yet to drive real revenue. For Banks, it's a long-term side hustle and around 20 suburbs in Melbourne have been mapped so far to bring users online.
"The idea was to create a system that feeds ideas to continue to create community over time."

Ebean provides multiple query options from ORM Queries to using a bit of SQL in our ORM query and all the way to using straight SQL queries with beans and direct use of JDBC.
As developers we want to stay at the highest level of abstraction that we can (ORM queries) but as needs occur we can drop down to using bits of SQL with our ORM query and then down further to using full SQL as needed.


The Motorola Razr avoids Samsung’s worst folding phone mistakes
It does make a few of its own, though
by Dieter BohnLate last night, Motorola announced the new Razr phone, which is a much-leaked folding device that looks exactly like a wider version of the classic Razr. It has a folding OLED screen and Chaim Gartenberg headed out to LA to check it out.
Read Chaim’s impressions and definitely watch the hands-on video. I have done so multiple times and have Zaprudered portions of it to try to suss out exactly how Motorola pulled this hinge off. There doesn’t seem to be any visible (or even feel-able!) crease on the screen, Motorola says it’s plenty durable, and the phone folds literally flat. It’s all the things the Samsung Galaxy Fold isn’t.
I’ve also got something to say about the way Motorola announced this phone: at 8:15PM Pacific time at a party in LA instead of at 10AM on a tech keynote stage.
Put all that together and I think Motorola has avoided the major mistakes Samsung made with the Galaxy Fold.

That’s not to say that Motorola isn’t making other mistakes all of its own — it absolutely is. Let’s actually get those out of the way first, just so nobody is fooled into thinking that I’ve already decided this phone is amazing without even seeing it in person. I have not, because:
- It has a slow-ish processor, which is potentially not a big issue.
- That processor was chosen to save battery life, which has me worried about battery life.
- Motorola does not have a great camera track record and this probably won’t fix that.
- It costs $1,499.
- It’s exclusive to Verizon.
- It’s exclusive to Verizon and uses an eSIM and therefore has a good chance of being locked down which means that instead of freeing us from carrier lock-in, eSIM is being perverted into creating more carrier lock-in and [insert Charlie Brown saying augh dot mp4 video here]
- Finally, Motorola might be a little too cocky about this screen’s durability.
That is a long list of potential mistakes! But notice that of all of them, only one bears any resemblance to all the mistakes Samsung made — it’s expensive. That, arguably, isn’t a mistake if you look at this phone in the right context — it’s positioned and marketed as something rare and exclusive.
In fact, that’s the very first mistake Samsung made with the Galaxy Fold. It announced it on a grand stage just like any other smartphone of the past decade, which implicitly meant that it could be for everybody. The only signal that the Galaxy Fold wasn’t a knock-around, treat-it-like-you-would-any-smartphone kind of smartphone was the price.
Motorola, on the other hand, is launching with a party in LA instead of a livestream watched by thousands of gadget-heads. The main attraction was Diplo, not a tech executive.
Plus, it’s the Razr. Before that phone became ubiquitous it was absolutely launched as a rare — and quite expensive for the time — status symbol. It’s trading on nostalgia, yes, but part of that nostalgia was how the Razr was once way fancier than other phones.
But after the first Galaxy Fold broke and the second disappointed, I am agog that Motorola has apparently pulled off what Samsung could not: it made a folding phone that goes completely flat and doesn’t have a visible crease. Motorola — the company that has been churning out forgettable midrange smartphones every other month like clockwork for the past few years — beat Samsung, the company that has been at the bleeding (and sometimes jagged) edge of smartphone tech since before Apple was even in the game.
That’s why I have been Zaprudering one particular section of the video Vjeran Pavic shot with Chaim — the part where, in a presentation to journalists ahead of the party, Motorola showed this graphic of the hinge:
What you can see here is that Motorola has three steel plates that are in near-constant contact with the hinge. There’s much less opportunity for a gap you’d feel underneath the screen — the kind of gap that would allow screen-destroying debris in, too.
But the thing that allows the Razr to close completely flat without an internal gap is even more impressive. Let’s take another look at this image. Enhance! Reverse! Slo-Mo! Freeze on the last frame! Relax it’s still a just low-res gif but it will illustrate my point!
The hinge is designed specifically to make space inside itself when closed so the screen can form a “teardrop” shape inside it. You can’t get a very tight radius on a folding OLED screen, but Motorola figured out how to accommodate that much more elegantly than Samsung did.
One note of caution: apparently as it closes the screen doesn’t exactly do what the gifs above imply. It sort of lifts up off the plates as it closes, as Mike Murphy tweeted:
Still, I bet that achieving this interior teardrop hinge would have been very difficult to pull off on the Fold, as it was a phone that folded out like a book to form a tablet. The Razr, on the other hand, folds vertically to form a phone. The whole concept of the Razr is diametrically (or maybe I should say perpendicularly) opposed to the Galaxy Fold.
That is the biggest Samsung mistake that Motorola avoided: the one at the drawing board. Faced with a compelling new technology, Motorola chose a series of more easily solved problems on its way to making a final product. I just have to believe that the Razr’s fold is an easier engineering challenge to solve simply because there’s less screen that needs to be folded.
Will all these avoided mistakes add up to a successful product? I refer you to my bullet list at the top of this editorial. Any number of those things could sink the Razr — or it could be something else entirely. We’ll review it when it comes out in January 2020 and let you know.
Samsung’s Galaxy Fold was the result of hubris and a desperate desire to breath new life into a plateauing smartphone ecosystem. Samsung set a nearly impossible engineering battle for itself, so it’s not really a surprise that it couldn't rise to the occasion.
The Motorola Razr is also trying to resuscitate Motorola by literally resuscitating an old, beloved phone brand. But because Motorola chose to fight the right engineering battle, it has a much better chance of winning.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro is here
Verge Deal of the day
Amazon’s new Echo Show 8 is $30 off
Amazon’s latest smart display is the 8-inch Echo Show 8, which actually doesn’t release until November 21st. If you’re looking for a camera-equipped display with Amazon services that’s a little bigger than the Echo Show 5, but smaller than the 10, the Echo Show 8 might be well worth the $99 cost (the price will increase to $129 once it hits shelves).
+ Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro is here and it has a good keyboard
I’m in New York this week primarily to spend time with the computer I’m typing on now, the 16-inch MacBook Pro. As you can see from the headline above, the keyboard is very good. But the overall sentiment out there is clear: it’s okay to be relieved, but Apple is not to be praised for doing what it should have done all along (or at least much, much sooner).
I am hoping to base my review on your questions, so please drop them as comments on our YouTube video (where I’ll look first) or email me (where I’ll look last) at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before then I’ll have more to say, but for now I’ll just note that I have no idea what Apple plans for the 13-inch MacBook Pro. As in: literally none. Apple didn’t include it on its slide of its “Pro” computers at the end of its presentation to journalists on Tuesday (!) and the new 16-inch MacBook Pro identifies itself just as “MacBook Pro” in the about screen, potentially implying it’s like the only one somehow (!!)?
That last sentence is a conspiracy theory, but it’s obvious that Apple is going to need to do something quick. The MacBook Pro and Air are far more popular than this computer.
+ The 16-inch MacBook Pro is now available to order
+ That didn’t take long: Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro was just announced and it’s already on sale
+ A fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro costs $6,099
+ Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro is no more
+ Apple’s new Mac Pro is shipping next month
+ Apple’s Phil Schiller says kids with Chromebooks in classroom are ‘not going to succeed’
It may have been a slip to say it this stridently, but I don’t think it was a mistake to say something along these lines. I really do think a lot of people at Apple look down their turned up noses at Chromebooks. Many of their reasons are justified — but I think that there’s more than just price that makes schools prefer Chromebooks to iPads.

We would like to thank Dan Jurafsky, Jim Matisoff, Boyd Michailovsky, and the three reviewers for their insightful comments. Any errors or omissions which remain are completely our responsibility.
[1]The term `allofamy,' due to Matisoff (1978), refers to relationship `among the various individual members of the same word-family.' English royal and regal, borrowed from French and Latin respectively, are both ultimately traceable to the same PIE root *reg-, and so are co-allofams in Modern English (Matisoff 1978:16-18, Matisoff 1992:160). A word family might contain both native words and words borrowed from related languages; the borrowings may be recent or ancient.
[2]RE is written in SPITBOL, a dialect of SNOBOL4. The current implementation is specific to 80386 and higher microcomputers running MS-DOS. A C++ version is planned.
[3]Upstream in the sense of time. We had originally described the temporal directions of the program as backward and forward. The opposition of upstream and downstream, suggested to us by Professor John Hewson, one of the developers of the first "Electronic Neogrammarian," [Hewson 1973] is much more intuitive.
[4]In fact, the situation is slightly more complicated than is shown here: there are two other possible reconstructions and another possible cognate set which are not shown because of space considerations. This example is discussed in more detail in section 5.1.
5The authors of RE developed this technique independently, and later discovered this methodologically similar computer project on Proto-Algonkian.
6The term REFLEX will be reserved for describing a complete modern form which is the regular descendant of some protoform. OUTCOME will be used for the regular descendent of a protoconstituent.
7There is a great deal more to say about specificity and the complexity of the environmental constraints, so much so that a separate and rather lengthy discussion of it is merited. As currently implemented in RE, context must be stated in terms of immediately adjacent constituents (remote context cannot be used). Also, the context must be stated in terms of constituents (i.e. atoms), or lists of constituents: regular expressions and other possible definitions are not supported. Specificity is measured in a straightforward way: correspondence rules with no context have low specificity (specificity = 0). Rules with a one-sided context have specificity 1. Rules with a contextualizing element on both sides have specificity 2. Only integer specificities are supported.
8The cover symbol Ó is used to permit the upstream reconstruction of Tukche forms in which the tone of the modern form is not precisely known. In the downstream direction, however, it licenses the generation of two possible reflexes.
9While the Taglung form itself is sufficient to determine the `proper' reconstruction in this case, and if the Syang form were not available, it would break the tie between the other competing reconstructions (ìglin, ìgi>=, and ìgin), it is usually difficult to pick out such decisive lexical items from a list of words.
10For a discussion of set-covering and NP-complete problems, see for example Ralston and Reilly 1993:938-941.
11Merger refers to the diachronic process by which the distinction between two (or more) phonemes is lost. Words which were minimal pairs on the basis of this distinction become homophones. Split refers the process by which a phoneme becomes two (usually due to some modification in the context).
12The X which occurs in the Taglung form is a cover symbol meaning "unspecified tone") and is used when the tone of the form is unknown. This allows RE to reconstruct the form under any of the tones. If this cover symbol were left out, RE would reconstruct this form without a prototone (permitted by the canon), and the form would fail to form a set with other forms which do have the tone specified.
[13]It might be possible to apply the results of some recent research in the area, for example Wordnet (Miller 1990), to part of the problem. Indeed, the "semantic formulas" developed for RE are similar structurally and conceptually to the "synsets" of Wordnet. Ultimately, any solution would have to be sensitive not only to synchronic relationships in a single language (like Wordnet) but also to semantic shifts (both universal and language-specific) and the possibility of several different glossing metalanguages (in this case both French and English are used).
14In cases where a set is eliminated as a result of becoming a subset of another set, the reconstructions of the set being eliminated may have to be merged into the larger set.
15Using semantic formulas such as those defined in (7), for example, creates precise cognate sets which are composed only of reflexes which are assured to be semantically compatible (though some likely candidates might be eliminated when the semantic formula is incomplete). Using semantic formulas such as those defined in (8) would remove semantically incompatible reflexes, but leave those which for which semantic compatibility is unspecified.
[16]Allofamy, the relationship between words in a word-family, is described in more detail in section 1.0, especially in the footnote to Figure 1.
17For example English have and Latin hab--ere.

Gigabyte Brix BXBT 2807
I was trying to install Windows 10 on the recently purchased Gigabyte BRIX-BXBT-2807 that I got the other day and I was struggling.
It would boot the Windows 10 USB up without any issues and would then allow me to go off and install it. Windows copies the files to the disk and then reboots as any normal install.
On boot, it would then however sit there at the boot screen and wouldn’t even boot into Windows to continue the install. Uh-oh.
After playing around, it turned out that the way to solve it seemed to be to boot into the BIOS and switch the Operating System mode to Windows 8.x (rather than Windows 7).
Simple.
But not really well documented anywhere that I could see!

Revapi is an API analysis and change tracking tool written in Java.
Its focus is mainly on Java language itself but it has been specifically designed to not be limited to just Java. API is much more than just java classes - also various configuration files, schemas, etc. can contribute to it and users can become reliant on them.
|
Note
|
Revapi is in beta. The Java API checker is fairly capable and can track both binary and source compatibility and the maven plugin and ant task are fairly useful but there are still many things to be done and polished. Your help is greatly appreciated. |
Why?
Because surprisingly there doesn’t seem to exist a simple yet extensible, developer-oriented tool that could be used to check the APIs and, more importantly, track their evolution. APIs are not static, they evolve to accomodate new features and past mistakes but at the same time, each change in the APIs potentially breaks the code of the users of the APIs.
It is therefore important for the tool to do 2 things right:
-
correctly identify all changes in an API, be it Java code, configuration files, descriptor files of any sort, etc.
-
allow the developer to mark selected changes as intentional (unavoidable changes in API are sometimes necessary).
Prior Art
SigTest
SigTest is a tool from Oracle itself to track API coverage and API evolution. It is functionally very close to what revapi aims to be but has a couple of drawbacks that make revapi worthwhile to look at:
-
while there is a maven plugin for SigTest, it is not available in Maven Central
-
the maven plugin cannot check api changes (yet)
-
it cannot track intentional API changes
-
it relies on generated "signature" files instead of directly comparing jars
Clirr
Clirr is another tool, that is functionally quite close to what revapi aims to be. It has a nice maven plugin (developed separately, working around limitations of the stale Clirr library itself), it is able to directly compare 2 jar files for changes and it is even possible to ignore the intentional API changes.
The main drawback of Clirr is that it is essentially dead with last release in 2005. Also, it is tightly coupled to Java and has no abstraction over language or "structure" it can check.
Animal Sniffer
While Animal Sniffer in essence does API checks, it’s intended for different purpose than API change tracking. Animal Sniffer is meant to check that a codebase doesn’t call API methods not present in a library it uses. While this may sound strange, this happens if you compile against a new version of a library but use an old version of it at runtime. Typically, this happens with Java runtime library itself, when a Jar is compiled against a later version of JRE than it is then run on.
japicmp
A new kid on the block, conceived at roughly the same time as Revapi. Currently (version 0.6.1) only supports checking for binary compatibility of Java archives. It has a Maven plugin and a CLI and is able to produce HTML reports of found differences.

Sri Lanka arrive for first Test in Pakistan since 2009
by AFPSri Lanka arrived for the first Test cricket tour of Pakistan in 10 years on Monday following the deadly 2009 attack on their team that plunged Pakistan into sporting isolation.
"The arrival of Sri Lankan team is a historic occasion and we are delighted to host the two-match Test series starting from Wednesday," said Pakistan Cricket Board chief executive Waseem Khan.
The first Test starts in the garrison city of Rawalpindi on Wednesday, while the second begins in Karachi on December 19.
A video tweeted by the PCB showed the Sri Lankan team arriving in Islamabad and being escorted by armed security forces.
The tour marks the return of Test cricket to Pakistan after a decade of isolation triggered by the attack in Lahore, which killed eight people and wounded several cricketers.
For years, Pakistan has been forced to play all its home matches in neutral venue the United Arab Emirates as foreign teams refused to tour the country over security fears.
But as security has improved Pakistan has hosted a smattering of smaller matches including Twenty20 series with Zimbabwe and the West Indies, and an increasing number of domestic league matches featuring international players.
But until now no team has returned for a Test match, the five-day format considered the pinnacle of the game.
Sri Lanka toured Pakistan for three one-day internationals and as many Twenty20s in September and October, and said they were satisfied with the security arrangements before confirming the Test tour.

 After we grew bored playing guitar hero on the playstation, Zak flashed a small baggie with what I knew to be salvia in it. I had tried salvia several times, never really getting any results from it. I’ve also watched people do salvia time after time, and no one I’ve witnessed smoke saliva has ever gone where Zak and I went this day.
I put a small pinch of marijuana in the bottom of the bowl, and put a decent sized pinch of salvia on top of it. I only know this was the highest you could buy at a local head shop, labeled purple.
Zak went first (keep in mind this is about a 3 foot tall bong) and I took the remains of the bowl and held it in for 30 seconds. I didn’t feel much, so I picked up the guitar and put it on. I asked Zak if he wanted to play with me, to which he stared blankly at me as if I’d just asked him something he couldn’t possibly answer. I sat there a little longer, thinking it was strange how he was acting but not assuming it was the salvia. He sat like this for a few minutes, unable to pick up his guitar and play. Finally, I asked him “Are you okay?”. It was quiet for a minute and his response was “Do I look okay?”. I explained to him he looked very worried but that was the only thing. A few more awkward minutes went by and then suddenly he picked up the guitar, and we played a song like nothing had just happened. I decided to take another hit, I like the simple body high was getting from the first hit.
This is when my world was shattered. I loaded the bowl again, took the biggest rip possible and began to count in my head. The last thing I remembered was second 28. By second 29, I was in a completely different position. The details of what was actually happening aren’t all there, but I still distinctly remember the feelings I had. The first feeling was overwhelming pressure, like 10,000 pounds were on top of me. I felt like I wasn’t getting the big picture and I needed my friend to help me figure out what I was seeing, because I couldn’t make out what I was looking at, but I was very very scared of whatever it was.
I felt as if I had done something horribly embarrassing in front of Zak, and our friendship was always going to have that awkward memory, much too awkward to actually get over or let alone forget.  While I was feeling this way, I had no idea that I had smoked anything at all, this was my life and it wasn’t getting any better. I can only explain the feelings I had as going through the very worst part of the very worst day of my entire life, while it continually got worse. I had to ask Zak what was going on, why was this happening? The words “Why is” made it out of my mouth, and that’s when I realized a little something. The image I couldn’t make out was in fact my own mouth, up close. I watched myself say those 2 words and it was so intensely freaky I couldn’t dare talk anymore.
Things zoomed out a little. I was still looking at myself, but I could now see my entire head from a strange angle. This is when things got crazy.  The lower left “chunk” of my head fell onto the floor, for the entire world to see. I had a feeling the whole time that I was somehow involved in a fucked up reality show and that everyone was waiting for me to figure out the big joke, the whole time the audience laughing randomly, although I never saw any other people except my friend Zak. I was also laying down on his bed when I lost the section of my face. I could reach the floor easily, and instead of wondering what to do with this part of me on the ground, I picked it up and put it right back in.
Something strange happened next but I’ve forgotten exactly how it went. I just remember the image of my body laid flat and my skin peeling off, sticking to the ground and then in an instant being put back on perfectly.
By this time, I was so emotionally destroyed I wanted nothing more than to kill myself, which is what I figured “they” wanted anyway, I must have done something I could never take back or be sorry enough for. I now know how to describe the last minutes of my experience as being thrown viciously back into reality. Zak’s room had just been picked up by “them”, and “they” were slowly turning it completely over. I tried my very best to crawl up Zak’s bed frantically towards the upper corner of his room.
Right before I left this place that I was thrown into, I was laying on Zak’s bed and I felt like I had figured it out, I was almost to that point of realizing what everyone wanted me to realize and it all being over and one big joke. There was a blanket and some jeans folded on his bed making an arch around me (the clothes were really there and really did look like an arch on his bed) and I lifted the bottom of the arch, which was the first time I had actually moved the entire 5 minutes, and the arch flew up into the air.
I looked down and realized I was sitting on Zak’s bed, although I knew a split second earlier I was most definitely laying down. I screamed “I UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU!” but what came out of my mouth not what I told my brain to say, it was laughter. Loud, hysterical laughter. I didn’t know why I was laughing, but I couldn’t stop either. When I could actually talk, I began to explain to him everything that had just happened. He then let out a huge sigh of relief, and admitted he had a very similar disturbing experience. We were both so extremely mind-fucked by what had just happened that we could barely grasp that it was possible and that it had in fact happened to both of us. He was just so relived he wasn’t crazy and we began talking. And talking. And talking.
“We did this around 9, you know.”
“Really? What time is it now?”
It was 11:30, and since I had come back to reality we had just been sitting there bug eyed and shaken talking about it for 2 and a half hours.
 However, I decided not to do salvia for a while, just because it was such a traumatic experience, but I know that I will eventually try it again. I want to write books about this, I am amazed that a legal substance could be so powerful. I also think the next time I do it I will be more prepared for such madness, not having a clue of the possibilities made it quite shocking to go through.
The next time someone asks me about the craziest drug I’ve ever done or the craziest experience, I will talk only of salvia and the night I watched myself fall apart.

STARSHIP TROOPERS A review by David Wilcock (C)1998
Starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey and Michael Ironside
Directed by Paul Verhoeven
Paul Verhoeven's American movie career has certainly had its ups and downs. Starting off with the excellent Robocop (1987) and Total Recall (1990), he then started to give us terrible 'sex' films, such as the stylish yet mediocre Basic Instinct (1992) and the downright awful Showgirls (1995). So, he is obviously better at directing action films, and Starship Troopers sees him return to the action genre. Whether it is actually any good or not is debatable.
The films opens well, with a twenty second newsreel telling us about an attack from giant bugs (much like the classic B-movie Them!), and showing us an entire squadron of soilders getting mained, ripped apart, and generally dying in nasty ways. The film then cuts to 'One year later', and this is where the problems begin.
The first problem is that the first thirty minutes of this film is more like an episode of Beverly Hills 90210. We are introduced to the characters, and the whole 30 minutes is like watching a very dodgy afternoon soap. Anyway, Casper Van Dien plays Johnny Rico, who wants to join the Starship Troopers so he can stay with his girlfriend Carman, played by Denise Richards. Dina Meyer plays Rico secret admirer, Dizzy, who also joins the Troopers, and basically we see Rico and Carman being gooey with each other, and Dizzy trying to get into bed with Rico.
The audience has to suffer this until the bugs destroy the whole of Buenos Ares.  The plot is forgotten, the film forgets the meaning of dialogue (e.g the dialogue is crap) and it just gets on with the death, violence, and sex.
The action scenes are good, with the bug special effects looking very professional. However, after the 3rd bug attack, it all gets a bit repetative. The main problems is that there is not enough species of bugs. There are about five in this film, and only two do anything intresting (the brain and tank bug) The rest are sadly dull. However, the deaths in this film are suitably gory, with arms, heads and legs getting ripped off, and even one unlucky person getting his brains sucked out. The film isn't as violent as Total Recall, and swearing is pratically non existent. This seems odd, as the first thing I would say when a giant bug is heading towards me wanting to rip me apart would defintely be "Oh f***!"
The cast (mainly a bunch of newcomers) are average, but this film dosen't really require great performances. If I had to choose a best performance, it would go to Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall) who is suitably hard-ass as Lt. Jean Rasczak. The special effects, especially the larger bugs, are great, and the many companies who contributed to the effects (including Industrial Light & Magic) have done a great job. Sadly, though, the model heads and hands look appaling fake, much like Total Recall. Why they didn't use CGI is beyond me, as it would of looked much better than the models the film uses.
Paul Verhoeven directs well, especially with the "Federal Interlink" sequences, a series of televison 'adverts', something he pioneered with in Robocop. The action is well directed, but the first 30 minutes are horribly done, almost directed like a television programme. The screenplay, based on a book by Robert A. Heinlein, is pretty bad, mainly because it set's up all these characters, and then forgets about their backgrounds when the war against the bugs actually begin.
Starship Troopers, then, although mostly fun, has some major flaws that affect it. Perhaps if the first half hour had been cut, it would of been more enjoyable. If you can get past this, and some other dull parts during the war, you'll probably enjoy this film, especially if you were looking for an outragesouly violent action movie. Just don't expect a good script, a strong plot and excitement straight from the start. Just about recommended.

Here are three security tasks I handled, which I'm happy to say were easily solved with common_schema's views and routines (with no prior planning). Two are so easy, that I actually now integrated them into common_schema 1.3:
- Duplicate a user (create new user with same privileges as another's)
- Find users with identical set of grants (same roles)
- Finding redundant users (users who only have privileges on non-existing objects); I was approached on this by Sheeri K. Cabral from Mozilla.
Duplicate user
How would you duplicate a grantee? That's easy! Just get the SHOW GRANTS output, then do text search and replace: replace the existing account (e.g. 'existing'@'localhost') with the new account (e.g. 'newcomer'@'localhost').
Ahem. And how would you get the output of SHOW GRANTS? That's right: you can't do this from within the server. You have to go outside the server, incoke mysql client, sed your way into it, then connect to MySQL again to invoke the GRANT query... Or you can do this by hand, of course, or you can use the new mysqluserclone tool from MySQL utilities. Bottom line: you have to go outside the server. You can't directly do this with your favorite GUI tool unless it has this function integrated.
But to have a truly automated, scriptable, server-side user-duplication you don't need to go far, since the sql_show_grants view simulates a SHOW GRANTS output, but using plain old SQL. It produces the GRANT statement as SQL output. Which means you can REPLACE() the grantee. It's actually a one liner, but is such a common operation that I created the duplicate_grantee() function for convenience. Just:
call duplicate_grantee('existing@localhost', 'newcomer@localhost');
(and yes, using a more relaxed form of grantee, allowing dropping of all these gory quotes).
Finding similar grantees
If the grants of an account are available via SQL, I'm also able to compare it with the grants of another account. I just need to ignore the account's name in itself. Since sql_show_grants normalizes the grants in expected order, this works well. Again, this is a simple query, but since it is of importance, I created a view for it: just SELECT * FROM similar_grants to find out about accounts sharing same set of privileges..
Drop redundant users
Sheeri approached me with the following problem (she authorized me to publicize): as she came to work for Mozilla, she inherited the databases to manage. When she reviewed them, she realized there were numerous accounts which were redundant. Redundant how? Well, obviously not being used, but moreover not having privileges on existing objects.
 TO 'gromit'@'localhost'
Where the penguin schema does not exist anymore - it was some developer's test database. The developer long since not working there, the database long since DROPped.
How do you quickly find and drop such accounts? Should we do crazy parsing on pt-show-grants output? Any other method?
Well, common_schema to the rescue: the sql_grants view breaks the GRANT statement into domains (in fact, this is not a true explanation; it actually builds the GRANT statements per domain; but it's more convenient to view it as breaking). You actually get the different GRANT statement per account per domain: the GRANT the account has on *.*, the GRANT it has on world.*, the GRANT it has on sakila.*, the GRANT it has on ....
Now this one is not entirely simple. Let me introduce the solution, then explain it. The way to find & drop all such users is:
call eval("SELECT sql_revoke FROM sql_grants LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA ON(object_name = SCHEMA_NAME) WHERE priv_level_name='schema' AND DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME IS NULL"); call eval("SELECT sql_drop_user FROM sql_grants GROUP BY GRANTEE HAVING COUNT(*)=1 AND SUM(current_privileges='USAGE')=1");
Explanation:
- The LEFT JOIN query finds all GRANTs on non existing schemas.
- But we do more than that: we request the sql_revoke column which negates such GRANTs. sql_grants provides such info: the REVOKE statement for said GRANTs.
- We can actually evaluate the REVOKE statement via eval(). There! These privileges are now gone.
- Now that we have revoked privileges on non-existing domains, we should be left with accounts whose only privilege is USAGE. Any such account is redundant by definition, and should be dropped. The second query looks up such accounts.
- And, it asks for the sql_drop_user statement column for those accounts
- Finally, it evaluates the DROP USER statement via eval().
Here is the statements output without executing the eval():

Hm, I can't reproduce that here. Maybe it's because you're using the
binary distribution of Gecode, but I really can't see what goes wrong.

“I almost wish you were the second or the third lieutenant of the Bellevite, instead of the executive officer, Christy,” said Captain Breaker, the commander of the steamer, as they were seated together one day on the quarter-deck.
“Do I fail in the discharge of my duty in my present position, Captain?” asked Christy, very much astonished, not to say startled, at the remark of the commander.
“Not in the slightest degree, my dear boy!” returned Captain Breaker with very decided emphasis. “You have served in your present capacity for four months; and if you were fifty years old, and had twenty years of naval experience behind you, it would be hardly possible for you to be more correct and dignified in the performance of the details of your office.”
“I thank you, Captain, for the partial view you take of what I have done,” added Christy, taking off his cap and bowing to his superior.
“Well, you ought to be a good officer in any situation, my dear fellow,” continued the commander. “I doubt if there is another officer in the navy who has enjoyed the advantages you have had in preparing himself for the duties of his profession. You were brought up, so to say, on board of the Bellevite. You were a good scholar in the first place. Without including myself, you have had excellent teachers in every department of science and philosophy, among whom your father was one of the wisest. Poor Dashington was one of the best seamen that ever trod a deck; and he took especial delight in showing you how to make every knot and splice, as well as in instructing you in the higher details of practical seamanship. Blowitt and myself assisted him, and old Boxie, who gave his life to his country, was more than a grandfather to you.”
“I have certainly been very grateful to you and to them for all they did for me,” replied Christy with a sad expression on his handsome face as the commander recalled the three shipmates of both of them who slept in heroes’ graves.
“Perhaps the brilliant genius of our engine-room did quite as much for you as any other person, though not many years your senior.”
“Paul Vapoor is my friend and crony; and if he had been my professor in a college he could have done no more for me. I assure you, Captain, that I keep alive my gratitude to all my instructors, including some you have not mentioned.”
“I was only explaining why you are what you ought to be, for you have had very exceptional opportunities, better by far than any other officer in the service. But it is altogether to your credit that you have used those opportunities wisely and well.”
“I should have been a blockhead if I had not.”
“That is very true; but the mournful wrecks of wasted opportunities strew the tracks of many, many young men. I think you can look back upon as few of them as any one within my knowledge,” said the commander, bestowing a look of genuine affection upon his chief officer.
“I am speaking only the simple truth, and I have very rarely said as much as I say now. It was when you asked me if you had failed in the discharge of the duties of your present position that I was led into this line of remark; and I am sure you will not be spoiled by honest andjust praise,” replied the captain.
“Then, to go back to the point where you began, why do you almost wish that I were second or third lieutenant, instead of executive officer, of the Bellevite, Captain?” continued Christy, rising from his seat, and fixing an earnest gaze upon the face of the commander, for he was very sensitive, and he could not help feeling that he had been lacking in something that would make him a better executive officer than he was.
“Mr. Ballard, the second lieutenant, and Mr. Walbrook, the third, are gentlemen of the highest grade, and excellent officers; but they are both somewhat wanting in dash and cool impetuosity.”
“‘Cool impetuosity’ is very good, Captain,” added Christy with a laugh.
“But that is precisely what I mean, my boy, and no two words could express the idea any better. You cannot carry an enemy by boarding with the same precision you man the yards on a ceremonious occasion, or as a regiment of soldiers go on dress parade. It requires vim, dash, spirit. The officers named have this quality in a very considerable degree, yet not enough of it. But what they lack more is ingenuity, fertility in expedients, and the expansive view which enables them to take advantage promptly of circumstances. You never lose your head, Christy.”
“I never knew the gentlemen named to lose their heads, and I have always regarded them as model officers,” replied the first lieutenant.
“And so they are: you are quite right, my dear boy; but it is possible for them to be all you say, and yet, like the young man of great possessions in the Scripture, to lack one thing. I should not dare to exchange my second and third lieutenants for any others if I had the opportunity.”
“I confess that I do not understand you yet, Captain.”
The commander rose from his seat, stretched himself, and then looked about the deck. Taking his camp-stool in his hand he carried it over to the port side of the quarter-deck, and planted it close to the bulwarks. The second lieutenant was the officer of the deck, and was pacing the planks on the starboard side, while the lookouts in the foretop and on the top-gallant forecastle were attending closely to their duty, doubtless with a vision of more prize money floating through their brains.
The Bellevite, with the fires banked in the furnaces, was at anchor off the entrance to Mobile Bay, about two miles east of Sand Island Lighthouse, and the same distance south of the narrow neck of land on the western extremity of which Fort Morgan is located. Her commander had chosen this position for a purpose; for several weeks before, while the Bellevite was absent on a special mission, a remarkably fast steamer called the Trafalgar had run the blockade inward.
Captain Passford, Senior, through his agents in England, had some information in regard to this vessel, which he had sent to CaptainBreaker. Unlike most of the blockade-runners built for this particular service, she had been constructed in the most substantial manner for an English millionaire, who had insisted that she should be built as strong as the best of steel could make her, for he intended to make a voyage around the world in her.
Unfortunately for the owner of the Trafalgar, who was a lineal descendant of a titled commander in that great naval battle, he fell from his horse in a fox chase, and was killed before the steamer was fully completed. His heir had no taste for the sea, and the steamer was sold at a price far beyond her cost; and the purchaser had succeeded in getting her into Mobile Bay with a valuable cargo. She was of about eight hundred tons burden, and it was said that she could steam twenty knots an hour. She was believed to be the equal of the Alabama and the Shenandoah. The Bellevite had been especially notified not to allow the Trafalgar to escape. She had recently had her bottom cleaned, and her engine put in perfect order for the service expected of her, for she was the fastest vessel on the blockade.
When Captain Breaker had assured himself that he was out of hearing of the officer of the deck, he invited Christy to take a seat at his side. He spoke in a low tone, and was especially careful that no officer should hear him.
“Perhaps I meddle with what does not concern me, Christy; but I cannot help having ideas of my own,” said the commander, when he was satisfied that no one but the executive officer could hear him. “There is Fort Morgan, with Fort Gaines three miles from it on the other side of the channel. Mobile Point, as it is called at this end of the neck, extends many miles to the eastward. It is less than two miles wide where it is broadest, and not over a quarter of a mile near Pilot Town.”
“I have studied the lay of the land very carefully, for I have had some ideas of my own,” added Christy, as the commander paused.
“If Fort Morgan had been Fort Sumter, with bad memories clinging to it, an effort would have been made to capture it, either by bombardment by the navy, or by regular approaches on the part of the army,” continued Captain Breaker. “They are still pounding away at Fort Sumter, because there would be a moral in its capture and the reduction of Charleston, for the war began there. Such an event would send a wave of rejoicing through the North, though it would be of less real consequence than the opening of Mobile Bay and the cleaning out of the city of Mobile. Except Wilmington, it is the most pestilent resort for blockade-runners on the entire coast.”
“Then you think Fort Morgan can be reduced from the land side?” asked Christy, deeply interested in the conversation.
“I have little doubt of it; and while I believe Farragut will resort to his favorite plan of running by the forts here, as he has done by those of the Mississippi, the army will be planted in the rear of both these forts. As we have lain here for months, I have studied the situation, and I want to know something more about the land on the east of Mobile Point.”
“I should say that it would be easy enough to obtain all the information you desire in regard to it,” suggested Christy.
“There is an unwritten tradition that the commander must not leave his ship to engage in any duty of an active character, and I cannot explore the vicinity of the fort myself.”
“But you have plenty of officers for such duty.”
“I have no doubt there are pickets, and perhaps a camp beyond the rising ground, and the exploration would be difficult and dangerous. The two officers I have mentioned before lack the dash and ingenuity such an enterprise requires; and a blunder might involve me in difficulty, for I have no orders to obtain the information I desire.”
“The officers named are prudent men within reasonable limits.”
“They are; but I would give up my idea rather than trust either of them with this duty,” replied Captain Breaker very decidedly. “But I have a further and nearer object in this exploration; in fact, examining the ground would be only secondary.”
“What is the real object, Captain?” asked the first lieutenant, his curiosity fully awakened.
“I feel that it will be necessary to use extraordinary efforts to capture the Trafalgar, for no steamer of her alleged speed has ever run into or out of Mobile Bay. After I informed the flag-officer in regard to her, which your father’s information enabled me to do, the Bellevite was especially charged with the duty of capturing her, if she had to chase her all over the world.”
“I have not much doubt that you will do it, Captain.”
“I mean to do so if possible. Now these blockade-runners usually anchor near the lower fleet, or under the guns of the fort in five fathoms of water. Sometimes they remain there two or three days, waiting for a favorable opportunity to run out. Perhaps the Trafalgar is there now. I wish to know about it.”
“I infer that you consider me fitted for this duty, Captain Breaker,” said Christy earnestly.
“For that reason only I almost wished you were second or third lieutenant, rather than first,” replied the commander with some earnestness in his manner.
There was no unwritten tradition that the first lieutenant should not be sent on any duty.


About
HOW TO ACE AN Interview
Well if there would be a line to describe this event, then it would simply be "CONFIDENCE:
THE CROWNED FEATURE IN ONE'S PERSONALITY" because the tips and the guidance provided by our
guest speaker Mrs.
Prashasti Pritiprada, Director of HR at Muvi.com and a Human Resource specialist completely
illustrated how important
confidence is and how to keep maintaining it in a steady flow!
Remember that iconic hair flip that the leading lady does in every millennial movie and walks
away from all the
negative energies and vibes from her life. Yes! That amount of confidence is required to rock an
interview.
Confidence is like the crowning feature in one's personality. It is the first factor which gets
noticed in someone.
Hence, when you sit for an interview, make sure you own that!!!
So, therefore, starting from confidently presenting yourself to making a professional impression
everything was utterly addressed with utmost perfection and precision by our respected speaker.
For example:- More often or not, you will be continually competing with others and some can be
way older than you. But no worries! Never feel like you are the lesser one and you have less
learning than the person and then start losing hope in doing the work. You can always outrun
them and all you need for doing that is having proper knowledge and knowing the way to apply it.
Similarly, "What type of behaviour would be the perfect one to showcase in front of the
interviewer so that it reflects a smart side of yours?". The answer to this would be, simply to
keep yourself together and calm. Portray the right body language such as maintaining a normal
face with a minimal amount of emotions. That way it will show them that you want the job for
sure but with a proper personality and confidence.
Besides, various more ideas, thoughts, strategies, and plans were stated which made us believe
that no matter what, if you give your best efforts combined with smart work then nothing can
stop you from acing an interview
It was the honor of GirlScript Jamshedpur to have such an eminent
speaker and a worthy audience for the event.

We can compare two Path
objects for equality based on their textual representation.
The equals()
method tests for the equality of two Path
objects by comparing their string forms.
Whether the equality test is case-sensitive depends on the file system.
The following code shows how to compare Windows paths:
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_Equals { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p2 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\LUCI1.TXT"); Path p3 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\..\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); boolean b1 = p1.equals(p2); System.out.println(b1); boolean b2 = p1.equals(p3); System.out.println(b2); } }
false false
The Path
interface implements the java.lang.Comparable
interface.
We can use its compareTo()
method to compare it with another Path
object textually.
The compareTo()
method returns an int
value.
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_CompareTo { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p2 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\Test1.txt"); Path p3 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\..\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); int v1 = p1.compareTo(p2); System.out.println(v1); int v2 = p1.compareTo(p3); System.out.println(v2); } }
0 38
We can use the endsWith()
and startsWith()
methods to test if a path ends with and starts with a given path, respectively.
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_StartEndWith { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p2 = Paths.get("test1.txt"); Path p3 = Paths.get("Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p4 = Paths.get(".txt"); // Using endsWith() boolean b1 = p1.endsWith(p2); System.out.println(b1); boolean b2 = p1.endsWith(p3); System.out.println(b2); boolean b3 = p1.endsWith(p4); System.out.println(b3); // Using startsWith() Path p5 = Paths.get("C:\\"); Path p6 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev"); Path p7 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\test"); boolean b4 = p1.startsWith(p5); System.out.println(b4); boolean b5 = p1.startsWith(p6); System.out.println(b5); boolean b6 = p1.startsWith(p7); System.out.println(b6); } }
true true false true true false
The following code demonstrates how the isSameFile()
method works. It checks If Two Paths Will Locate the Same File.
import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_IsSameFile { public static void main(String[] args) { // Assume that D:\tmp\test\abc.txt file exists Path p1 = Paths.get("D:\\tmp\\test\\abc.txt"); Path p2 = Paths.get("D:\\tmp\\..\\tmp\\test\\abc.txt"); // Assume that D:\abc.txt file does not exist Path p3 = Paths.get("D:\\abc.txt"); Path p4 = Paths.get("D:\\abc.txt"); try { boolean isSame = Files.isSameFile(p1, p2); System.out.println("p1 and p2 are the same: " + isSame); isSame = Files.isSameFile(p3, p4); System.out.println("p3 and p4 are the same: " + isSame); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
p1 and p2 are the same: true p3 and p4 are the same: true
The normalize()
method from the Path
interface returns a Path
after removing dot dot(..
) characters.
This method does not access the file system.
The following code shows some examples of normalizing paths on Windows.
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_Normalize { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\..\\\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p1n = p1.normalize(); System.out.println(p1 + " normalized to " + p1n); Path p2 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev\\test1.txt"); Path p2n = p2.normalize(); System.out.println(p2 + " normalized to " + p2n); Path p3 = Paths.get("\\..\\.\\test.txt"); Path p3n = p3.normalize(); System.out.println(p3 + " normalized to " + p3n); } }
C:\Java_Dev\..\Java_Dev\test1.txt normalized to C:\Java_Dev\test1.txt C:\Java_Dev\test1.txt normalized to C:\Java_Dev\test1.txt \..\.\test.txt normalized to \test.txt
We can combine two paths using the resolve(Path p)
method of the Path
interface.
If the specified path p
is an absolute path, it returns the specified path.
It returns the path if the specified path p
is an empty path.
In other cases, it simply combines the two paths and returns the result, so the returned path ends with the specified path.
The following code has some examples of resolving paths.
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_Resolve { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("C:\\Java_Dev"); Path p2 = Paths.get("test1.txt"); System.out.println(p1.resolve(p2)); Path p3 = Paths.get("C:\\test.txt"); System.out.println(p1.resolve(p3)); Path p4 = Paths.get(""); System.out.println(p1.resolve(p4)); Path p5 = Paths.get("Java_Dev\\Test"); Path p6 = Paths.get("test4.txt"); System.out.println(p5.resolve(p6)); } }
C:\Java_Dev\test1.txt C:\test.txt C:\Java_Dev Java_Dev\Test\test4.txt
The relativize(Path p)
method of the Path
interface gets a relative path for a given path against another path.
The following code has some examples of getting relative paths.
import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class NIO_Path_Example_Relativize { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p1 = Paths.get("Java_Dev"); Path p2 = Paths.get("Java_Dev", "recent", "Test"); System.out.println(p1.relativize(p2)); System.out.println(p2.relativize(p1)); Path p3 = Paths.get("Abc"); Path p4 = Paths.get("Def"); System.out.println(p3.relativize(p4)); System.out.println(p4.relativize(p3)); } }
