QML Basic Types
QML supports a number of basic types.
A basic type is one that refers to a simple value, such as an int
or a string
. This contrasts with a QML Object Types, which refers to an object with properties, signals, methods and so on. Unlike an object type, a basic type cannot be used to declare QML objects: it is not possible, for example, to declare an int{}
object or a size{}
object.
Basic types can be used to refer to:
- A single value (e.g. int refers to a single number, var can refer to a single list of items)
- A value that contains a simple set of property-value pairs (e.g. size refers to a value with
width
andheight
attributes)
Supported Basic Types
Some basic types are supported by the engine by default and do not require an import statement to be used, while others do require the client to import the module which provides them. All of the basic types listed below may be used as a property
type in a QML document, with the following exceptions:
list
must be used in conjunction with a QML object typeenumeration
cannot be used directly as the enumeration must be defined by a registered QML object type
Basic Types Provided By The QML Language
The basic types supported natively in the QML language are listed below:
Binary true/false value | |
Number with a decimal point, stored in double precision | |
Named enumeration value | |
Whole number, e.g. 0, 10, or -20 | |
List of QML objects | |
Number with a decimal point | |
Free form text string | |
Resource locator | |
Generic property type |
Basic Types Provided By QML Modules
QML modules may extend the QML language with more basic types. For example, the basic types provided by the QtQuick
module are listed below:
Date value | |
Value with x and y attributes | |
Value with x, y, width and height attributes | |
Value with width and height attributes |
The Qt global object provides useful functions for manipulating values of basic types.
Currently only QML modules which are provided by Qt may provide their own basic types, however this may change in future releases of Qt QML. In order to use types provided by a particular QML module, clients must import that module in their QML documents.
Property Change Behavior for Basic Types
Some basic types have properties: for example, the font type has pixelSize
, family
and bold
properties. Unlike properties of object types, properties of basic types do not provide their own property change signals. It is only possible to create a property change signal handler for the basic type property itself:
Text { // invalid! onFont.pixelSizeChanged: doSomething() // also invalid! font { onPixelSizeChanged: doSomething() } // but this is ok onFontChanged: doSomething() }
Be aware, however, that a property change signal for a basic type is emitted whenever any of its attributes have changed, as well as when the property itself changes. Take the following code, for example:
Text { onFontChanged: console.log("font changed") Text { id: otherText } focus: true // changing any of the font attributes, or reassigning the property // to a different font value, will invoke the onFontChanged handler Keys.onDigit1Pressed: font.pixelSize += 1 Keys.onDigit2Pressed: font.b = !font.b Keys.onDigit3Pressed: font = otherText.font }
In contrast, properties of an object type emit their own property change signals, and a property change signal handler for an object-type property is only invoked when the property is reassigned to a different object value.

A responsive site is one which adjusts according to the media device being used. This is important as devices are all different sizes and layouts. By making a site responsive it helps ensure the site is still user-friendly no matter whether the user is reading the content off a phone, desktop or tablet.
Mobile first design is an approach to website development which mandates that sites are built for mobile devices first before other layouts are considered. It is important because mobile first design means that sites are configured for the most commonly used viewing device first.
Frameworks are collections of code that have functionality most developers wish to use such as grid layouts and buttons. Examples of frameworks include Bootstrap and Skeleton. Their main pro is their efficiency (if you want to use certain features without setting up all the styling coding you can). Main cons are that they are often difficult to adjust if you want to style core features like tables and buttons differently and they mean you often need more skill rather than less to successfully use (not so helpful for a beginner like me IMO).
A wireframe is a way to plan the layout of a site using the box model. Below is an example of a wireframe I did to redesign this site.
I found it incredibly difficult to use media queries to change the orientation and size of elements such as text and images. To be honest I would have found it easier without having to use the skeleton framework.

Not all states identify the drugs that cause fatal overdoses
It's nearly impossible to know how many people have died from heroin overdoses in the United States,
largely because of variations in how medical examiners, coroners and doctors fill out death certificates.
In fact, many don't note what drugs contributed. This chart breaks down the percentage of overdose deaths
in each state, between 2008 and 2010, where a drug was identified.

Reinforcement Learning with the package reinforcelearn
is as easy as
library(reinforcelearn)
env = makeEnvironment("windy.gridworld")
agent = makeAgent("softmax", "table", "qlearning")
# Run interaction for 10 episodes.
interact(env, agent, n.episodes = 10L)

With makeEnvironment
you can create reinforcement learning environments.
# Create environment.
step = function(self, action) {
state = list(mean = action + rnorm(1), sd = runif(1))
reward = rnorm(1, state[[1]], state[[2]])
done = FALSE
list(state, reward, done)
}
reset = function(self) {
state = list(mean = 0, sd = 1)
state
}
env = makeEnvironment("custom", step = step, reset = reset)
The environment is an R6
class with a set of attributes and methods. You can interact with the environment via the reset
and step
method.
# Reset environment.
env$reset()
#> $mean
#> [1] 0
#>
#> $sd
#> [1] 1
# Take action.
env$step(100)
#> $state
#> $state$mean
#> [1] 100.2982
#>
#> $state$sd
#> [1] 0.4072189
#>
#>
#> $reward
#> [1] 99.82231
#>
#> $done
#> [1] FALSE
There are some predefined environment classes, e.g. MDPEnvironment
, which allows you to create a Markov Decision Process by passing on state transition array and reward matrix, or GymEnvironment
, where you can use toy problems from OpenAI Gym.
# Create a gym environment.
# Make sure you have Python, gym and reticulate installed.
env = makeEnvironment("gym", gym.name = "MountainCar-v0")
# Take random actions for 200 steps.
env$reset()
for (i in 1:200) {
action = sample(0:2, 1)
env$step(action)
env$visualize()
}
env$close()
This should open a window showing a graphical visualization of the environment during interaction.
For more details on how to create an environment have a look at the vignette: Environments
With makeAgent
you can set up a reinforcement learning agent to solve the environment, i.e. to find the best action in each time step.
The first step is to set up the policy, which defines which action to choose. For example we could use a uniform random policy.
# Create the environment.
env = makeEnvironment("windy.gridworld")
# Create agent with uniform random policy.
policy = makePolicy("random")
agent = makeAgent(policy)
# Run interaction for 10 steps.
interact(env, agent, n.steps = 10L)
#> $returns
#> numeric(0)
#>
#> $steps
#> integer(0)
In this scenario the agent chooses all actions with equal probability and will not learn anything from the interaction. Usually we want the agent to be able to learn something. Value-based algorithms learn a value function from interaction with the environment and adjust the policy according to the value function. For example we could set up Q-Learning with a softmax policy.
# Create the environment.
env = makeEnvironment("windy.gridworld")
# Create qlearning agent with softmax policy and tabular value function.
policy = makePolicy("softmax")
values = makeValueFunction("table", n.states = env$n.states, n.actions = env$n.actions)
algorithm = makeAlgorithm("qlearning")
agent = makeAgent(policy, values, algorithm)
# Run interaction for 10 steps.
interact(env, agent, n.episodes = 10L)
#> $returns
#> [1] -424 -4868 -267 -1513 -2035 -176 -433 -218 -317 -241

7.5.11, 2017-10-31 09:36:36 UTC
These installation notes describe:
The release notes document the Java versions that JE is compatible with and that have been used for certification.
To install JE, use unzip or tar to unpack the JE distribution. If you are using unzip, be sure to use the -U option to preserve case in file names. For example:
unzip -U je-M.N.P.zip
or
gunzip je-M.N.P.tar.gz
tar xvf je-M.N.P.tar
Unpacking the distribution creates a je-M.N.P directory on disk, where M.N.P is the release's version number. This directory contains the following contents:
docs/
examples/
lib/
src/
test/
The remainder of this document refers to the je-M.N.P/
directory created in this step as JE_HOME.
To compile and run a program using JE, you only need the
je-M.N.P.jar
file in your class path. This file can be found
at:
JE_HOME/lib/je-M.N.P.jar
When using JE within a web container, note that it is important that the JE jar file and your application jar files -- in particular the classes that are being serialized by SerialBinding -- are loaded under the same class loader. For running in a servlet, this typically means that you would place the JE jar file and your application jars in the same directory.
Additionally, it is important to not place the JE jar file in the extensions directory for your JVM. Instead place the JE jar file in the same location as your application jars. The extensions directory is reserved for privileged library code.
Compiling and running a simple example can serve as a sanity check of the installation. Follow these instructions to compile and run the first basic example, called PersonExample.
To uninstall, just remove the directory that you unzipped into.
You need Apache Ant version 1.8.0 or later in order to do builds. You can download Ant from:
http://ant.apache.org/
You also need Apache Ivy for loading dependencies. You can download Ivy from:
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/
Make sure to add the ivy JAR file to your ~/.ant/lib directory or specify the ivy directory using the ant -lib option.
JE must be built with the version of Java specified as the compatibility requirement in the release notes.
Once ant and JUnit are installed, you can build JE using the following command:
cd JE_HOME ant clean jar
The JE jar file will appear in JE_HOME/build/lib/je.jar.
You can run the unit tests using the command: "ant test"
.
The ant 'test' target will automatically download a junit jar into the extlib
directory, and this jar is needed for compiling the tests. If this command
hangs when attempting to download the jar, due to a VPN for example, you may
need to additionally specify an HTTP proxy host and/or port. This can be
specified using the proxy.host and proxy.port properties, for example:
"ant test -Dproxy.host=my.proxy"
. By default, proxy.port is 80.
On Windows you may see OutOfMemoryErrors while running the unit tests. To avoid this, increase the JVM maximum memory size by setting the ANT_OPTS environment variable so that it includes -Xmx256M.
JE can be used as a J2EE/JCA Resource Adapter. It has been tested with Oracle Application Server (OC4J) <IP_ADDRESS>.0, JBoss 3.2.6 and Sun Java System Application Server 8.1. For cookbook style "HOWTO's" using the JE J2EE/JCA Resource Adapter see JE_HOME/examples/jca/HOWTO-oc4j.txt, JE_HOME/examples/jca/HOWTO-jboss.txt and JE_HOME/examples/jca/HOWTO-sjsas.txt.

Strictly's Lisa Armstrong seeks energy hit with Lucozade
Lisa Armstrong is taking a break from all of the drama in her life by having a ‘me’ moment featuring a cigarette and downtime on her phone.
The 43-year-old Strictly make-up artist and ex-wife of Ant McPartlin, was spotted on the streets of central London with a cigarette in hand and a Lucozade in the other.

In the photos, she appeared to light the cigarette and then start to peruse on her Louis Vuitton-covered phone, while taking occasional drags and scrolling along.
Lisa then reached into her matching Louis Vuitton bag and pulled out a make-up bag.
After, she grabbed her Lucozade and walked back into an office building in the heart of Soho.
What a moment.
The couple first announced they were filing for divorce in January last year, after 11 years of marriage.
Advertisement Advertisement
They officially divorced in October last year, but they’re still in the process of dividing up their assets.
She recently hit out at people who claimed she thought £31million was not enough in her divorce settlement.
Someone on Twitter asked her: ‘How can 31million, not be enough for you?! It’s enough for both me and my family put together for life. Just sayin’.
Lisa then responded: ‘Don’t believe the lies #justsaying’.
Their lawyers are said to be preparing for a hearing in the High Court next year.
It could mean intimate details of their marriage and Ant’s battle with drink and drug addiction could be made public as Lisa feels he ‘got away with a lot’ after their split.

JOURNEY OF HOPE A film review by Thomas E. Billings Copyright 1991 Thomas E. Billings
Synopsis: A low-income Turkish family leaves Turkey for a better life in Switzerland. Unfortunately, they are illegal immigrants and are preyed on by smugglers and other criminals on their trip. Their "journey of hope" turns into a desperate struggle for survival when they are abandoned in the Alps by a smuggler. A good story, but not told very well -- a generally mediocre film.
Switzerland (Turkish/German with English subtitles), color, 1990, 105 min. Director: Xavier Koller
The story is centered on a poor farmer in Turkey, and his family. He has received a postcard from a relative who emigrated to Switzerland, telling him that Switzerland is sort of a "paradise over the mountain" (paraphrased). He is determined to go to Switzerland, to find a better life, at any cost. To this end, he sells his cattle, sheep, and land to get the money he needs for false passports and to pay the smugglers.
However, his wife insists on taking the children (they have seven). Reluctantly, the husband agrees to take only one child, the youngest. The rest will remain in Turkey with his parents. They begin their journey, and things go smoothly at first. However, problems arise when they get to Istanbul -- there are no tickets or passport for the child. The story continues as the smugglers hide the family in a cargo container for the journey to Milan, next stop on their journey.
This film won the Academy Award for best foreign language film, competing with such films as JU DOU and CYRANO DE BERGERAC. Although I feel that the film industry grants so many awards that most are meaningless, I really hoped that this film would be better than average. Unfortunately, the film is very ordinary, and did not live up to expectations.
The last part of the film is relatively exciting, and many viewers will react to it emotionally. However, the problem with the film is the first part, which you must endure to get to the last part. In the first part, you see the farmer behaving in a completely irrational way. He is not wealthy, but he is able to support seven children from his small farm. Unfortunately, he is primarily interested in money; he and his wife argue on this point when he tells her they must leave the children behind, for an indefinite period. Where is his fatherly concern for his children? Is going to Switzerland worth the destruction of a family of nine?
The problem with the film is that there is insufficient characterization, particularly for the farmer whose actions drive the film. You see his mistakes and (frequent) irrational behavior, but the motives for his actions have not been sufficiently established. Because of this, you might not be fully sympathetic with the characters when they get into trouble.
I think that people will react to this film in one of two ways -- the "mind" approach given above, in which case you might view the film as a case study in irresponsible behavior, or the "heart" approach. By "heart", I mean that you will fully identify with the characters, in which case you might think the film is pretty good.
Even though it is mediocre/average, the film does illustrate the refugee and illegal immigration issues that are major political topics of the day. Some might consider the film worth seeing simply because it dramatizes those issues.
Overall, I think the film is definitely over-rated, and is only average (first part is below average, second part above average). Your reaction to the film may vary according to your interpretation of the (rationality of the) farmer's actions.

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE recalled
The potential for exterior trim to detach has forced a recall.
by CarAdvice- shares
Darcy Foster • Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled the 2019 GLE over concerns the trim divider at the rear door windows might not meet specification.
According to the company, the external trim divider at the rear windows could be incorrectly attached, which could make the divider separate from the vehicle while driving, posing a risk of injury to other road users.
A total of 780 cars are affected – a full VIN list is attached here.
Owners are asked to contact their nearest Mercedes Benz dealer for a free check and repair if required.

Now here is an intriguing (if ungrammatical) headline:
Goblins attacks family, burn down homestead
Readers will be aware that I take a keen interest in goblins of all types. These ones are new to me:
Others went on to claim that snake-like creatures wearing sunglasses, a suit and a pair of shoes had been seen at the homestead.
Truly baffling. What type of snake-like being could wear shoes? Sounds like a job for Investigating Officer David Icke.

Post-processing using Raw Therapee.
I was experimenting with taking photos of the CFL bulb in my room, at night. Obviously, it had to be a very low exposure shot. Getting the combination of shutter speed and aperture took some time though. Most photos were either horribly over exposed or extremely under exposed.
I did not crop this photo on purpose. I felt that for a change, having the subject in the centre looked good, rather than cropping it to obey the rule of thirds.
I think I might have done a better job of sharpening the photo during processing. Also, the .. impurity you see on the bulb itself kind of ruins the snap. I probably should have cleaned and dusted the bulb before attempting to photograph it :)

Andy Anokye, 32, who performs under the stage name Solo 45, denies 31 charges against him at Bristol Crown Court.
The charges, relating to four complainants, include 22 counts of rape and five counts of false imprisonment.
Anokye also denies two charges of assault by penetration and two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Judge William Hart has told jurors that Anokye was a member of the grime collective Boy Better Know.
Prosecuting, Christopher Quinlan QC said the musician had abused four women over a two-year period.
 He filmed, using his mobile phone, a great deal of what he did.
‘You will hear from each of them during the course of this trial. Each suffered in similar ways at different times at the defendant’s hands.’
Advertisement Advertisement
Mr Quinlan said one of the women reported the abuse to friends and then to police.
Anokye was arrested and his mobile phone and laptop were seized by officers, who contacted three other women.
Mr Quinlan said: ‘What they disclosed to police is reflected by the 31 charges. We allege that these charges reflect his conduct and his treatment of these four young women.
‘He physically assaulted and falsely imprisoned them, held them against their will and he raped each of them repeatedly.

Mr Quinlan said Anokye will claim that any sexual activity between him and the women was consensual.
The jury heard Anokye is a grime artist, with Mr Quinlan describing the genre as ‘dance music influenced by garage music’.
He told the jury: ‘Artists of that genre include Skepta and Stormzy. Neither has anything to do with this case but you may hear reference to either or both of them during the evidence.’
Mr Quinlan said Anokye became known to each of the complainants through their ‘knowledge and taste’ for grime music.
His music, the lifestyle and perceived glamour associated with it may have attracted them to him, the court heard.
Advertisement Advertisement
The jury of five men and seven women have been told they will view some of the recordings made by Anokye.
Mr Quinlan said: ‘You may find it both unpleasant and upsetting. It is important evidence. We promise you that to show it is not gratuitous but necessary.’
Mr Quinlan alleged that Anokye was ‘turned on’ by his power over his victims and their fear of him.
He said the musician waterboarded one woman, leaving her ‘petrified’ and claimed he had ‘hacked’ her phone.
Anokye told the woman to put her hand in a sink full of water, then brought over a toaster that he plugged into a socket.
Mr Quinlan said: ‘The effect, if carried out, was to electrocute her. She was pulling away and crying. His reaction? It turned him on.’
Police examining Anokye’s devices after his arrest discovered searches for ‘dacryphilia’ – sexual arousal from another’s fear.
On one occasion, it is alleged he drove a woman to a secluded area and ordered her to remove anything that could identify her.
Anokye is said to have told the woman that she would be shot, with the incident ending when she had a panic attack.
Mr Quinlan said: ‘He poured bleach in her mouth, he threatened to brand her with a hot iron. He made her call him by the name of another grime performer, Skepta.’
Anokye, of Millennium Promenade, Bristol, denies all the charges against him and the trial continues.

Creating a text selection from here to the next paragraph will result in too many rectangles in Chrome <= 54.
Praesent a convallis magna. Fusce rutrum finibus purus ut blandit. Donec ultrices nunc sit amet felis semper, et auctor lorem auctor. Donec purus libero, sagittis vitae quam sit amet, volutpat tristique purus. Nam eleifend sodales nulla a consequat. Donec malesuada blandit quam, luctus semper nisl tempus tempor. Quisque egestas malesuada consectetur.
In the next paragraph place your cursor inside 'Lorem' then extend the selection right over the image (shift+right). When you shrink the selection back with shift+left you will get too many rectangles in Firefox.
Lorem ipsum
Foo bar
Some programmatically created selections can also be problematic:
This selection can be created by triple clicking in Firefox, but will also break in Chrome if set programmatically:
Selecting across line wraps can cause bounding rect bugs:

Draw the Connect Four grid.
In this challenge we will draw the grid like the one used in the Connect Four game:
The grid has 6 rows and 7 columns.
For now we'll keep it simple and just draw the grid on the whole of the drawing area. We can come back later and make it look a bit better...
Use the background
function to draw a blue rectangle and then use the ellipse
function
draw white circles with the right diameter and spacing to make the 6x7 grid for the game.

PaddlePaddle Design Doc¶
Ingredients¶
As our design principle is starting from the essence: how could we allow users to express and solve their problems at neural networks. Some essential concepts that our API have to provide include:
- A topology is an expression of layers.
- A layer could be any kind of computation, including cost.
- Some layers have parameters, some don’t. Most costs don’t have parameters.
- In some topologies, layers share parameters. For example, the network for training a ranking model.
- At programming time, users specify topologies and possible sharing of parameters. PaddlePaddle can figure out and create parameters required (and possibly shared) by one or more topologies.
Starting from Examples¶
As a summarization of our disucssion, let us present two examples here:
Example 1. Sharing Parameters between Layers¶
We use the 3-branch ranking model in this example. For your convenience, I copy-a-paste the model’s topology as follows:
A -> f -\
Q -> f --> cost
B -> f -/
The following program trains the topology including the cost, and then use the sub-network in the trained topology in inference:
def f(in):
e = paddle.layer.embedding(in, parameter_name="embedding")
o = paddle.layer.softmax(e, parameter_name="semantic")
return o
# Create 3 topologies (subnets), they share parameters because all
# correspoinding layers have the same parameter names.
fA = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="A"))
fB = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="B"))
fQ = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="Q"))
topology = paddle.layer.less_than(
paddle.layer.cross_entropy(fA, fQ),
paddle.layer.corss_entropy(fB, fQ))
# Derive parameters required in topology and create them in model.
parameters = paddle.parameters.create(topology)
# Estimate parameters used in topology from data.
paddle.train(topology, parameters, reader=read_ranking_model_data)
# Inference using fA (or fB or fC, as they share their parameters).
[testA, testB, testQ] = read_ranking_model_data()
print "The sematic-vector of testA: ", paddle.infer(fA, parameters, testA)
Example 2. Sharing Parameters between “Models”¶
We use GAN in
this example. In the following example program, d0
and d1
correspond to the two networks in the following figure:
def G(in):
# over-simplified example as G has only one layers:
return paddle.layer.fc(in, parameter_name="G")
def D(in);
# again, over-simplified:
return paddle.layer.fc(in, parameter_name="D")
# Construct the first topology, which contains both D and G.
# By learning this topology, we update parameters of G.
d0 = paddle.layer.should_be_false(D(G(paddle.layer.data())))
# Construct a second topology d1, which contains only D. By
# training this topology, we update parameters of D. Note
# that d1 share parameters with d0.
d1 = paddle.layer.should_be_true(D(paddle.layer.data()))
# Create parameters from a list of multiple topologies (models) for
# the chance to share parameters between these topologies.
parameters = paddle.parameters.create([d0, d1])
# Iterative training of GAN.
for ...:
train(d0, parameters, reader=read_from_rng, immutable_parameters={"D"})
train(d1, parameters, reader=read_from_realistic_images)
# Use d1 for inference:
print "D thinks a batch of images are realistic ", infer(d1, parameters, read_mnist_images)
Summarization¶
Above two programs reveal some important design concerns:
- Users describe a topology as an expression of layers. Every layer has a parameter name. If the users don’t specify it explicitly, it’s automatically generated as a unique name. By specifying the parameter name, users can specify the sharing of parameters between layers and even between topologies.
paddle.parameters.create
figures out parameters required by one or more topologies from parameter names of layers. It creates these parameters and returns aParameterSet
object, which is in essence a map from parameter names to parameters.- At training and inference time,
paddle.train
andpaddle.infer
requires both a topology and the parameter set that holds the parameters of that topology. There are some reasons:- This prevents users from forgetting to call
paddle.parameters.create
. paddle.train
needs to know which parameter set to update.- Users could load another (pre-trained) parameter set and use it
with a topology in
train.infer
.
- This prevents users from forgetting to call
- By specifying the
immutable_parameters
parameter ofpaddle.train
, we can forbid the update of these parameters.
Reader¶
Not all programming frameworks allow users to define I/O functions.
An example is Google MapReduce, which can only read from text,
SSTable, and RecordIO files. Hadoop MapReduce allows users to define
readers and writers by deriving from base classes Reader
and
Writer
. The former is less flexible but also less error-prone. We
decide to provide the flexibility to users to define their readers.
There are some open questions here:
- Should a reader return a Python dictionary?
- How to map multiple outputs from a reader to multiple data layers?
- How to easily compose some existing readers to read more data and feed a topology with more data layers?
Training¶
The recommended way to training a model is to call paddle.train
,
which simply calls paddle.trainer.Default
, a global variable of
type paddle.trainer.SGD
. Equivalently, we can do
opt = paddle.trainer.SGD(..., paddle.updater.Adam(...))
opt.train(topology, parameters, reader=read, ...)
Updater¶
Please be aware that a trainer can accept an updater as its data
member, where an updater is a class derived from
paddle.trainer.Updater
. This is to make it easier to customize
trainers, as discussed
here.
Event Handler¶
paddle.train
and paddle.trainer.XXX.train
take an optional
parameter event_handler
, which should be either None
or a function
that handle some events:
- BeginTraining
- EndTraining
- BeginIteration
- EndIteration
- BeginPass
- EndPass
where EndPass is sent if and only if the reader yields
end_pass=True
.
An example as follows:
def event_handler(event):
if ininstance(event, paddle.event.EndIteration):
print paddle.test(...)
paddle.train(topology, parameters, reader, event_handler)
If we are writing a PaddlePaddle program in and for iPython/Jypyter, we can use metaplotlib in the event handler to plot a curve of cost/error versus iterations, as shown here.
Distributed Training¶
If users want to do distributed training on a cluster, s/he should
call paddle.dist_train
and provides access tokens to the cluster as
a parameter.
For example, if the user has a TLS certificate that allows him to access a Kubernetes cluster, s/he should be able to call
paddle.dist_train(model,
trainer=paddle.trainer.SGD(...,
paddle.updater.Adam(...)),
reader=read,
k8s_user="yi",
k8s_token="kube_cluster_tls.pem",
k8s_job="hello",
num_parameter_servers=15)
The pseudo code if paddle.dist_train
is as follows:
def dist_train(topology, parameters, trainer, reader, ...):
if os.getenv("KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST") == None:
image_name = k8s_user + '/' + k8s_job
docker_build(image_name)
docker_push()
kube_ctrl_start_job(image_name, k8s_user, k8s_token)
else:
rank = kube_list_containers_in_job_and_return_current_containers_rank()
if rank == 0:
master()
elif rank < 15:
parameter_server()
else:
trainer.train(model, reader=read)
Please be aware that if a process is running on the Kubernetes cluster, it will have some environment variables pre-defined.
If dist_train
doesn’t see these environment variables, it knows
that it’s running on users’ personal computer, and it should work as a
launcher. Otherwise, it knows that it’s running on the cluster and
need to figure out its role as either the master, or a trainer, or a
parameter server.

React.js Tag Component
In-line tags, just like in gmail. This has the following props set : breaks, handleBlur & handleEnter.
You supply an array of chars that split a tag in the breaks prop ( , . ; and SPACE in this demo)
You can type something and change focus to some other element to check out handleBlur
You can hit enter to create tag cos we set handleEnter
Tags appear in the next line. This doesn't handle Enter key or Blur events.
By default only SPACE and , are used to split tags
You can also provide options on the model to handle add and delete events. This one for example, will add tags as lower-case, will not allow duplicates and won't let you delete first 5 tags
You can check out Demo.html & Demo.css to see how the components are created.
You can provide your custom css class for tags as well for the input.
There are actually 2 components, one to just render the tags, and one to accept input. They can be run independently too.
There is a default model implementation TagCollection. You can ditch that and provide your implementation, just stick to the necessary interfaces. This model is very simple, it would be ideal to provide an immutable one.

Goal
Be the first player to reach the goal!
Turn
- A player can only roll on their own turn.
- The dice roll will determine how many points are awarded to the player.
- The player can continue rolling until either a '1' is rolled or the player chooses to 'hold' the points earned.
- If a '1' is rolled, all of the points accumulated over this turn are lost, and the player's turn to roll is over.
i.e. no points are earned this turn.
- When the player chooses to 'hold', all the points accumulated are added to the player's total points. These points cannot be lost in the next round.
If the accumulated points and the total points reach the goal, the player will still need to hold the points before it is considered a win.
Multiple Dice
- Double points when doubles are rolled!
- If one '1' is rolled, the turn ends and the player receives no additional points.
i.e. 0 points are earned for this turn
- If two or more 1's are rolled, the player will earn a bonus 25 points and the turn will continue!

Why Christian Bale turned down fourth ‘Batman’ film
by Julius YoungChristian Bale just revealed a shocking tidbit about hanging up his Batman cape.
The Academy Award-winning actor took on the role as the caped crusader in three films known to fans as the “Dark Knight” trilogy -- 2005's “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012.
He said that he decided against doing another iteration simply out of respect for the director of the trilogy, Christopher Nolan, and the vision set for the franchise moving forward.
 FERRARI' IS RACING TO THE AUCTION BLOCK
“When they came [to us after ‘Batman Begins’] and said, ‘You want to go make another?’ It was fantastic, but we still said: ‘This is it. We will not get another opportunity,’” Bale, 45, told The Toronto Sun. “Then they came and they said, ‘OK, let’s do the third one.’ Chris had always said to me that if we were fortunate to be able to make three we would stop. ‘Let’s walk away after that,’ he said.”
DICK CHENEY DENIES CHRISTIAN BALE'S CLAIM HE SENT ACTOR AN INSULTING MESSAGE ABOUT 'VICE': SOURCE
Said Bale: “when they inevitably came to us and said, ‘How about a No. 4?’ I said, ‘No. We have to stick to Chris’ dream, which was always to, hopefully, do a trilogy. Let’s not stretch too far and become overindulgent and go for a fourth.”
CHRISTIAN BALE FELT 'LIKE A BULLFROG' TRANSFORMING INTO DICK CHENEY
Bale was later replaced by Ben Affleck in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016 and “Justice League” in 2017. The was reportedly tapped to direct "The Batman," but relinquished those duties to Reeves in 2017, while the role is going to Robert Pattinson.

In May, “Twilight” franchise staple Robert Pattinson was announced as the star of the upcoming film “The Batman,” reportedly slated to premiere in June 2021.
Pre-production for the Matt Reeves-directed superhero flick is expected to commence this summer.

Crops grown in this region are paddy, Jute, Wheat, Maize, Moong, Masoor, Mustard linseed, Sugar cane and Potato. Jute is the major cash crop of Purnia district. Fruit plants like coconut, Banana, Mango, Guava, Lemon, Jack Fruit, Pineapple and banana are also grown here.
It is a depressed tract, consisting for the most part of a rich, loamy alluvial soil. It is traversed by several rivers flowing from the Himalayas, which afford great advantages of irrigation and water-carriage. Its major rivers are the Kosi, the Mahananda, the Suwara Kali and the Koli.
oils of recent alluvial plain are fine loamy, sandy to coarse loamy soil. Purnia district lies in the Gangatic alluvial plain. The older alluvium is found in the north of Purnia consisting of coarse gravel and surface kankar and the newer alluvium composed of silts, clays occurring south of Purnia.
Purnia is supplied with agricultural products by its surrounding countryside. The alluvial soil, irrigated by the Kosi and Mahananda rivers, has been particularly suited to the paddy cultivation of rice. Other crops grown are potatoes, wheat, khesari, chickpeas, chili peppers, maize, lentils, arhar dal, barley, sugarcane, tobacco, makhana, mung beans, and jute.[16] The previous extensive growing of jute supported a former flourishing jute industry which has now declined. The cultivation of maize has however soared in recent years in the city's outskirts. Gulab Bagh in Purnia houses a major grain storehouse and is Asia’s largest maize trading center. This location as well as central and eastern Bihar supply the grain requirements of Bengal, Nepal, and the states of Northeast India. Purnia is a powerful poultry producer and has also been catering to the demands of the nearby regions of Nepal and West Bengal for many years. Purnia is also well known for its fisheries. Fishes are also transported to the nearby markets of West Bengal, especially those in the Siliguri Metropolitan Region, the nearest large urban centre.

This web server computes the minimal Boolean formula for a given function using a “cheat sheet” generated during the search for the most complex minimal Boolean formula over five variables. The cheat sheet records how to generate each of the 616,126 distinct five-input Boolean formulas (modulo negation and permutation of the inputs and negation of the output). Given a function, the web server searches for a transformation that produces the equivalent canonical function and then applies the reverse transformation to the canonical function's subformulas. It must then recursively translate each of the subformulas, until it hits simple variables. This blog post explains more about the precomputation.
The problem of minimal Boolean formula complexity is inspired by a related circuit design problem first studied by Claude Shannon. This form is the OEIS sequences A056287 and A178939
The syntax accepted by the web server is C expressions
over the variables v
, w
, x
,
y
, and z
with the following exceptions:
=
is shorthand for ==
.
in
list, where
list is a comma-separated list of expressions, evaluates
to 1 if expr is equal to any of the expressions in list, 0 otherwise.
This makes it easy to describe symmetric functions: x+y+z in 1,2
.
The function is the result of evaluating the C expression
for each possible input setting. The function is false when the C expression
evaluates to zero, true otherwise. As a special case, a hexadecimal constant,
like 0xffff0000
, is interpreted as the truth table value itself:
each bit is a function output, as described in the blog post.
The source code for the search and the web app, both written in Go, are available from the boolean-oracle project on Google Code.
The tables that power the web site are available for download.


For each input or select control in the HTML template of the form, you need to define a corresponding object in the

Grant Wizard¶
The Grant Wizard tool is a graphical interface that allows you to manage the privileges of one or more database objects in a point-and-click environment. A search box, dropdown lists, and checkboxes facilitate quick selections of database objects, roles and privileges.
The wizard organizes privilege management through a sequence of windows: Object Selection (step 1 of 3), Privileges Selection (step 2 of 3) and Final (Review Selection) (step 3 of 3). The Final (Review Selection) window displays the SQL code generated by wizard selections.
To launch the Grant Wizard tool, select a database object in the pgAdmin tree control, then navigate through Tools on the menu bar to click on the Grant Wizard option.
Use the fields in the Object Selection (step 1 of 3) window to select the object or objects on which you are modifying privileges. Use the Search by object type or name field to locate a database object, or use the scrollbar to scroll through the list of all accessible objects.
Each row in the table lists object identifiers; check the checkbox in the left column to include an object as a target of the Grant Wizard. The table displays:
The object type in the Object Type field
The schema in which the object resides in the Schema field
The object name in the Name field.
Click the Next button to continue, or the Cancel button to close the wizard without modifying privileges.
Use the fields in the Privileges Selection (step 2 of 3) window to grant privileges. If you grant a privilege WITH GRANT OPTION, the Grantee will have the right to grant privileges on the object to others. If WITH GRANT OPTION is subsequently revoked, any role who received access to that object from that Grantee (directly or through a chain of grants) will lose thier privileges on the object.
Click the Add icon (+) to assign a set of privileges.
Select the name of the role from the drop-down listbox in the Grantee field.
Click inside the Privileges field. Check the boxes to the left of one or more privileges to grant the selected privileges to the specified user. If privileges have previously been granted on a database object, unchecking a privilege for a group or user will result in revoking that privilege.
The current user, who is the default grantor for granting the privilege, is displayed in the Grantor field.
Click the Add icon (+) to assign a set of privileges to another role; to discard a privilege, click the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm deletion in the Delete Row dialog.
For more information about granting privileges on database objects, see the PostgreSQL core documentation.
Click the Next button to continue, the Back button to select or deselect additional database objects, or the Cancel button to close the wizard without modifying privileges.
Your entries in the Grant Wizard tool generate a SQL command; you can review the command in the Final (Review Selection) (step 3 of 3) window (see an example below).
Example¶
The following is an example of the sql command generated by user selections in the Grant Wizard tool:
The commands displayed assign a role named Bob INSERT and UPDATE privileges WITH GRANT OPTION on the sales_meetings and the sales_territories tables.
Click the Back button to select or deselect additional database objects, roles and privileges.
Click the Cancel button to exit without saving work.
Click the Finish button to save selections and exit the wizard.

My daughter has been reading since she was 4. She is 6 now and reading way beyond her classmates. I think that she is gifted and want her tested. My daughter's teacher says that there isn't a gifted program for 1st graders. What should I do?
Reading at an early age is wonderful but doesn't necessarily mean a gifted classification. I have had many excellent early readers with average IQ's over the year. The average IQ is 100. Most school districts require an IQ score of 130 for a gifted classification or 140 for highly gifted. Gifted children often have many other characteristics in common such as a highly developed sense of humor, and a sensitivity to issues beyond their age. Children may be gifted in one academic area but not all. The NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children) website can answer many of your questions.
I believe that you should speak to your school's ESE specialist. There is an initial screening that can be done to see if your daughter is a candidate for a more extensive evaluation. First grade classes are taught with the assumption that children enter reading at all different levels and the high group is often reading at the next grade level. Talk to the teacher about where your child fits into the mix to make sure her needs are being met.


The layout managers that are included with Java Swing are either very easy to use, but too simple for real applications or very difficult to use but can possibly create real applications. Additionally, the more complicated layout managers also require reams of code to generate a layout and often require vast refactoring with any minor change.
The NeXT Interface Builder, now the Apple Interface Builder, upon which this layout manager is based, has a relatively simple set of constraints along with an excellent tool for drawing the interface. Once an object is placed, typically using the Apple L&F guidelines as a guide, you can set 6 different connections to either a strut or a spring. These are at the North, South, East, West, Width, and Height axes. When a component is resized, any axes that has a spring will get its share of the resized view. Though it differs from this layout manager in that it doesn't need to work with different Look&Feels so it is too limited for what we are trying to do. Requiring absolute positioning relevant for a single L&F was not an option in designing this layout manager. Also, NIB files were only designed to be built with the IB tool while this layout manager will be equally useful from the API without a fancy tool to guide you. One of the things you should note about the Apple Interface Builder is that it is flexible enough that virtually all applications written for the Mac use it to generate their user interfaces. Most platforms do not use the tools they offer their developers for creating their own applications. For example, you wouldn't be able to make any of the Microsoft applications with their GUI development tools, they are all completely custom.
In order to extend the IB model to a programmatic API you need to abstract two features of the tool that are done visually, the relationship of one component to another and components to their container. In IB you are given visual hints as to how far components should be to one another, when they are lining up, and when a component is the optimal distance from the edges of the container. These hints are key to making visually appealing interfaces that match the platform standards. Additionally, when people are placing the components they generally do so relative to other components on the surface, i.e. the Cancel button is to the left of the OK button. In IB, you don't need to add this layer of indirection, as the user can just place them on the surface that way. In a programmatic API you can give them the ability to directly specify these relationships between components. Also, by specifying relationships rather than placing components in a grid, you can move blocks of components without disrupting their visual relationships.
Let's build a fairly simple dialog that we would like to be able to resize properly. We'll give it a username and password label and field, an OK button, and a Cancel button in standard configuration. Here is what we would like the final result to look like:
| Normal: | Resized: |
Notice that in the resized case the buttons have stayed put in the lower right hand corner, the labels have stayed in the upper left and remain the same size, and the fields themselves are expanding/contracting with the resize. First we will setup for what we are going to do by creating all the components, this is almost always about the same no matter what layout manager you are using:
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Simple Dialog"); frame.setSize(320, 150); JPanel panel = new JPanel(new NIBLayoutManager()); JLabel usernameLabel = new JLabel("Username:"); JTextField usernameField = new JTextField(); JLabel passwordLabel = new JLabel("Password:"); JTextField passwordField = new JPasswordField(); JButton ok = new JButton("OK"); JButton cancel = new JButton("Cancel");
Note that we have set the layout manager of the panel to the NIBLayoutManager. That is all you have to do to setup your panel to use it. The other thing that differs from most of the Swing layout managers is that for most layouts you need only one panel, even with complex resize mechanics. This simple layout will not be an exception to that rule.
We now will generate this user interface using the NIBLayoutManager. First we place the OK button on the panel:
panel.add(ok, new NC("nwbr"));
The NC class (short for NIBConstraints) is designed to make it possible to be very terse so your code is not swamped with GUI barf. This does give you some amount of "line noise" type code, but I've tried to give you a lot of options for how you actually use the classes. Let's expand out that line so we can see what it is doing in detail. The NC(String springs) constructor takes a string that is a series of boolean flags:
In our example we have placed springs between the component and the north and west sides. That means that if the container is resized and extra space created/removed will be added/taken from the distance between the component and the north/west edges. This will cause the component to stay put relative to the south/east edges of its container. Additionally, we have specified that the component will initially be placed in the bottom right corner of its container. Here is a visual representation of what we have said about the springs so far:
This springs and strut concept is similar to the springs and struts that are included as one of the layout managers that Swing includes, however, the implementation that they have is quite painful to use from the API and virtually no one uses it because it basically requires a tool. The NC contains quite a few shortcuts and aliases for doing various things, for instance, we could also do this the much more verbose way:
NC nc = new NC(); nc.n = true; nc.w = true; nc.b = true; nc.r = true;
or a more smalltalk like way
NC nc = new NC().n().w().b().r();
Later we will see why there are so many aliases. Some things are easier to use in dynamic languages like Groovy vs. Java and I am designing this for a wide range of usages. Also, some people prefer terseness and others would like it spelled out for them. I am considering whether I should put the terse options in a subclass and keep all the verbose options in a superclass and let people choose their style that way. Initial feedback from some alpha users will probably decide it. Interestingly, you could always subclass the constraints yourself and set things up automatically with a wide range of defaults since everything is exposed.
Now lets continue generating the interface. Next we add the Cancel button:
panel.add(cancel, new NC("nwb").lo(ok));
The Cancel button is given the same springs as the OK button so it will stay put relative to the south and east sides of the container. Additionally it is placed along the bottom edge of the container and we specify that initially it will be to the left of the OK button. Take note that everything specified in the constraints besides the springs only affect the component for its initial placement on the container. Those constraints, like "bottom edge" or "left of" are not reevaluated each time the container is layed out. The biggest reason for this is performance of the code during resize, with only the springs affecting the location of the components there is remarkably little calculation required to determine the new location of components. The second reason is that there are a lot of ambiguities introduced if you do allow them all to be reevaluated with each layout of the container. This is something that is subject to reconsideration in the future if there is a good reason for it. It may at some point be an additional option to leave out springs altogether and simply use the relative constraints depending on user feedback. Tool support for "relative only" placement would also be awkward, but I'm not too worried about that right now.
Those buttons were nearly trivial and that's already a lot easier that doing it in other layout managers. Let's now look at adding the username label and field:
panel.add(usernameLabel, new NC("setl")); panel.add(usernameField, new NC("sxt").awvco(usernameLabel).ro(usernameLabel).eet(panel));
Here we put the label in the upper left hand corner and set the springs to south/east. This is exactly the opposite of the OK button. More complicated is the username field itself. For springs we let the distance to the south edge expand with vertical resizing and the width of the field change when there is horizontal resizing. We then use one of the aliases awvco which stands for "align with vertical center of" to orient it verticaly even with the label and ro ("right of") the label. This positions where we want it. We then eet ("extend east to") the panel edge. When you use the "extend to" options and you specify a container it uses the container edges. When you specify another component in the panel, it will extend to that components edge initially. Again, after the initial placement and sizing the springs take care of what happens under when resized.
Now lets place the final two components, the password label and field, relative to our username label and field on the panel:
panel.add(passwordLabel, new NC("se").awro(usernameLabel).b(usernameField).swa(usernameLabel)); panel.add(passwordField, new NC("sxt").b(usernameField).awvco(passwordLabel).ro(passwordLabel).eet(panel));
We use a couple of new concepts here, awro ("align with right of") and swa ("same width as"). Because we don't rely on any sort of grid we must use the "same width/height" operations to ensure that things line up as we expect them to. Since preferred sizes are calculated before layout occurs you can forward reference components that are not yet layed out yet. In this example, we could have complicated things by using the more complicated construct mwo ("max width of") and given a set of username label and password label. This is very useful if you don't know the approximate sizes or the strings will be internationalized and you don't know which one will be bigger at compile time. Here is how that would look:
Component[] labels = new Component[] { usernameLabel, passwordLabel }; panel.add(usernameLabel, new NC("setl").mwo(labels)); panel.add(passwordLabel, new NC("se").awro(usernameLabel).b(usernameField).mwo(labels));
Now lets finish off the program by setting the content pane of the frame and making it visible:
frame.setContentPane(panel); frame.setVisible(true);
That's all there is to it. There are tons of options available and they are described in detail in the javadocs. Usually a little experimentation is all it takes to figure out whats going on. Since the API is so complicated and this is early, you may find that some of the math is wrong or that there are still bugs in the system. Please report that to me.
You'll notice that when you place components there is some amount of space automatically put between them based on the platform L&F guidelines. This is similar to what IB does with its placement guides. Currently I have only implemented these for the Mac L&F, I would love to see what the Windows guidelines are for the distances between components and between a component and the edge of its container.
One of things in IB thats done very well is the ability to line up components with the baseline of the text contained within the components. Amazingly, Swing has a very vague grasp on this concept and that makes it very difficult to do in general. I have, however, included the ability to line up baselines between JLabels and JButtons, but other components do not have a baseline to line up with. I would like to fix this at some point but need some help from a great Swing wizard to do it.
Some UIs will invariably need tweaking on some platforms. In order to enable this, I've added nudges for the x and y directions that are applied after all other initial placements. These nudges should be used within a platform specific framework for exact movement of the components when things do not line up naturally for some reason.
By setting the frame of the component directly you can set the initial location of a component in absolute terms rather than relative to other components or the edges of the container. This is useful when you are building a UI for a particular platform and don't need the benefits of the relative positioning system. I discourage the use of this and hope that you give feedback to me on what further options are needed to get the flexibility that this provides.
