Strings in SGI STL
This is an attempt to answer some of the questions related to the use
of strings with SGI STL.
What's wrong with the string class defined by the draft standard?
There are several problems, but the most serious ones relate to the
specification for lifetimes of references to characters in a string.
The second committee draft disallows the expression
s[1] == s[2]
where s is a nonconstant
string. This is not simply an oversight; current reference counted
implementations may fail for more complicated examples. They may fail even
for s[1] == s[2] if the string s is
simultaneously examined (merely examined, not necessarily modified) by
another thread. It is hard to define precisely what constitutes a
correct use of one of the current reference counted implementation.
This problem was partially addressed at the July 1997 meeting of the
C++ standardization committee; the solution was to adopt more
complicated rules about reference lifetimes. Unfortunately, these new
rules still do not address the multi-threading issues.
A related problem was pointed out in the French national body comments
on the second committee draft. The following program produces the
wrong answer for most reference counted basic_string
implementations that we have tested; the problem is that, if two
strings share a common representation, they are vulnerable to
modification through a pre-existing reference or iterator.
# include <string>
# include <stdio.h>
main() {
string s("abc");
string t;
char & c(s[1]);
t = s; // Data typically shared between s and t.
c = 'z'; // How many strings does this modify?
if (t[1] == 'z') {
printf("wrong\n");
} else {
printf("right\n");
}
}
The draft standard (as well as common sense) says that updating a
reference to one of s's elements should only modify
s, not t as well; the fact that s and
t might share a representation is an implementation detail
that should have no effect on program behavior. Given the design of
basic_string, though, it is very difficult for a
reference-counted implementation to satisfy that requirement.
The only known way for a reference-counted implementation to avoid
this problem is to mark a string as unsharable whenever there might be
an existing reference or iterator to that string. That is, whenever a
program obtains a reference or an iterator to a string (e.g. by
using operator[] or begin()), that particular string
will no longer use reference counting; assignment and copy
construction will copy the string's elements instead of just copying a
pointer. (We are not aware of any implementation that uses this
technique and that also attempts to be thread-safe.)
This is a drastic solution: since almost all ways of referring to
characters involve references or iterators, this solution implies, in
effect, that the only strings that can be reference-counted are the
ones that are never used. In practice, then, a reference counted
implementation of basic_string can't achieve the performance
gains that one might otherwise expect, since reference counting is
forbidden in all but a few special cases.
A different solution is to abandon the goal of reference-counted
strings altogether, and to provide a non-reference-counted
implementation of basic_string instead. The draft standard
permits non-reference-counted implementations, and several vendors
already provide them. The performance characteristics
of a non-reference-counted basic_string are predicable,
and are very similar to those of a vector<char>:
copying a string, for example, is always an O(N)
operation.
In this implementation, basic_string
does not use reference counting.
I have been using a reference counted implementation, and it works fine.
Why haven't I seen problems?
The current implementations do work correctly, most of the time:
preserving a reference to a character in a string is uncommon.
(Although preserving iterators to strings may be more frequent, and
exactly the same issues apply to iterators.) Some less contrived
sequential programs also fail, though, or else behave differently on
different platforms.
Multi-threaded applications that use a reference counted
basic_string are likely to fail intermittently, perhaps once
every few months; these intermittent failures are difficult to
reproduce and debug. But it is likely that a large fraction of
multi-threaded clients will fail occasionally, thus making such a
library completely inappropriate for multi-threaded use.
So what should I use to represent strings?
There are several possible options, which are appropriate under different
circumstances:
- Ropes
-
Use the rope package provided by the
SGI STL. This provides all functionality that's likely to be needed.
Its interface is similar to the current draft standard, but different
enough to allow a correct and thread-safe implementation. It should
perform reasonably well for all applications that do not require very
frequent small updates to strings. It is the only alternative that
scales well to very long strings, i.e. that could easily be used to
represent a mail message or a text file as a single string.
The disadvantages are:
- Single character replacements are slow. Consequently STL algorithms
are likely to be slow when updating ropes. (Insertions near the beginning
take roughly the same amount of time as single character replacements, and
much less time than corresponding insertions for the other string
alternatives.)
-
The rope implementation stretches
current compiler technology. Portability and compilation time may be
an issue in the short term. Pthread performance on non-SGI platforms
will be an issue until someone provides machine-specific fast
reference counting code. (This is also likely to be an issue for
other reference counted implementations.)
- C strings
-
This is likely to be the most efficient way to represent a large
collection of very short strings. It is by far the most space
efficient alternative for small strings. For short strings, the C
library functions in <string.h> provide an efficient set of
tools for manipulating such strings. They allow easy communication
with the C library. The primary disadvantages are that
- Operations such as concatenation and substring are much more
expensive than for ropes if the
strings are long. A C string is not a good representation for a text
file in an editor.
- The user needs to be aware of sharing between string representations.
If strings are assigned by copying pointers, an update to one string may
affect another.
- C strings provide no help in storage management. This may be a
major issue, although a garbage collector can help alleviate it.
- vector<char>
-
If a string is treated primarily as an array of characters, with
frequent in-place updates, it is reasonable to represent it as vector<char> or vector<wchar_t>. The same is true
if it will be modified by STL container algorithms. Unlike C strings,
vectors handle internal storage management automatically, and
operations that modify the length of a string are generally more
convenient.
Disadvantages are:
- Vector assignments are much more expensive than C string pointer
assignments; the only way to share string representations is to pass
pointers or references to vectors.
- Most operations on entire strings (e.g. assignment, concatenation)
do not scale well to long strings.
- A number of standard string operations (e.g. concatenation
and substring) are not provided with the usual syntax, and must be
expressed using generic STL algorithms. This is usually not hard.
- Conversion to C strings is currently slow, even for short strings.
That may change in future implementations.
What about mstring.h, as supplied with SGI's 7.1 compiler?
This package was a minimal adaptation of the freely available Modena
strings package. It was intended as a stopgap. We do not intend to
develop it further.
It shares some of the reference lifetime problems of other
implementations that try to conform to the draft standard. Its exact
semantics were never well-defined. Under rare conditions, it will
have unexpected semantics for single-threaded applications. It fails
on the example given above. We strongly discourage use for
multi-threaded applications.

Robert Pattinson keeps head down after causing chaos with Batman role
Robert Pattinson recently sent fans into meltdown after he was cast as Batman, before tipping Jennifer Lopez for his own role.
Basically another example of him trolling us all.
The 33-year-old ignored all the chaos – and took a break from all that masturbating – as he attempted to go unnoticed in New York, popping out for a photoshoot.
He was spotted keeping his head down as he made his way around Manhattan in a light brown overcoat, paired with a blue hoodie and beige trousers.
Clutching a garment bag, he completed the casual, off-duty look with a pair of black boots and a hat.
Robert’s appearance comes after he seemed to give away his Batman role to JLo – before the film has even hit the big screen.
While we’d all love to see Jenny From The Block causing chaos in the Batmobile, the Twilight actor was the one Matt Reeves suggested for his ‘new vision’ of the Caped Crusader.
Advertisement Advertisement
And, during a chat between the pair for Variety’s Actors On Actors series, Jen explained she was totally on board with the casting.
‘I think you’d be a great Batman,’ she told him. ‘An awesome Batman.’
Enjoying the compliments, he replied: ‘You would be as well.’
But Rob’s suggestion appeared to light a fire in the 50-year-old, who took his words and ran with them.
She continued: ‘I could be Batman. Why not?
‘I think as an actor, it would be fun to explore.’
Someone get Matt back on the phone…
Fans will be blessed with Robert’s version of Batman on 25 June, 2021, so we still have well over a year and a half to get excited for the film.
It was recently announced that the Twilight star would be joined in the cast by Andy Serkis – as Alfred – and new Catwoman Zoe Kravitz.
We’re sure they could find room for JLo somewhere…
Batman is set for release on 25 June 2021.

Cocaine |
(powder / crystals) |
I have been fortunate regarding cocaine for two reasons. The first is that amongst my close circle of drug using friends, cocaine is not the drug of choice and only appears on rare occasions.
The second is that when cocaine is around I am able to exercise restraint in terms of the amount I consume. I am the only person I know who can buy $100 worth and still have most of the bag around a month or two later.
Recently a friend from overseas came to visit and he is quite fond of cocaine, something that is quite difficult to find in his home country. Since he has family in the area he was able to get ahold of some coke quickly and we spent many afternoons during his visit doing coke in my office and we had a blast.
This was the first time I had done so much coke, probably every afternoon for two weeks or so.
My friend had an emergency at home and had to leave on short notice and since he couldn't bring the coke on the airplane home he gave the rest of his mighty bag to me.
I, in turn, while still exercising restraint, did a little bit every day for a month or so. At first I thought it would help me work but I realized later that it was a distraction, so I saved a line for the end of the day every day.

I never had a spontaneous nosebleed, however my sinuses were constantly inflamed and packed solid and blowing my nose produced a tremendous volume of mucous and blood.
I gave the rest of the bag away lest I cause more damage to my sinuses. Still, even after stopping for several WEEKS my sinuses were fucked.
I tried nosesprays, I tried the steaming devices that people with sinus problems can breath hot, mentholated steam from I even tried Yogic 'nasal irrigation' with a special device that allowed me to flush my sinuses with salty water.
It took more than a month for my sinuses to recover. The negative aspects of my damaged sinuses far outweighed the fun of the coke. Next time I'll pass.

"Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung" is a comprehensive energy art that focuses on restoring Yin-Yang harmony in the body. This allows practitioners to enjoy good health, vitality, longevity and spiritual cultivation in the here and now. Benefits include: reduced stress, more mental clarity, improved overall health, a renewed zest for life and inner peace.
In Chinese, Chi Kung literally means "work with energy" and is an umbrella term that refers to many different styles of energy arts. The chi kung taught in Shaolin Wahnam is termed Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung as it was developed at the Shaolin Temple and is focused on cultivating chi, or energy, from the heavens, or the cosmos. The essence of Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung lies in the skills of entering a chi kung state of mind, also known as "entering zen" and generating a chi flow to cleanse the system.
One practice session of Cosmos Chi Kung generally lasts between 10-20 minutes, making it ideal for the daily schedule that most people maintain. While the practice time is short compared to many other arts, Cosmos Chi Kung is highly efficient and effective and the benefits are quickly evident.
It should be noted that Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung is a high-level chi kung practice for people who want the very best available. Because it has been refined by masters for over 1,000 years it has been condensed into only what is essential for great chi kung. It is high-level because of how effective and efficient the practice is, often bringing practitioners even more benefits than they had hoped for. Part of the reason for this success is because in Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung the very best of the art is taught right from the beginning, focusing on the essential skills of chi kung that were previously mentioned.
In reality, this style of chi kung is an excellent choice for anyone. Because the forms are easy to perform, the time requirement for each practice session is comparatively short, the practice is highly effective and efficient and the results are quickly seen, Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung meets the requirements of just about anyone. While this chi kung is a great choice for anyone, it’s a particularly good choice if:
There are many different styles of chi kung and each one is practiced differently. Regarding Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung, one session typically lasts 10-20 minutes from start to finish.
It's possible to learn low-level chi kung this way, but not the essential internal skills that are necessary for a genuine, effective practice. Chi Kung, and any other internal art, should be learned directly from a competent teacher. You will save yourself a lot of time and effort if you learn from a teacher, rather than trying to teach yourself.
Similarly, it would be a very poor idea to try to teach yourself how to swim from a book or video. Just like Chi Kung, swimming is very safe and simple when you learn correctly, but you would be unwise to read about how to swim and then jump in a pool.
Some general guidelines are:
No. But, Chi Kung will naturally guide you to a healthy diet, and at the same time help you enjoy your food even more!
Yes, Chi Kung is non-religious and is practiced by people of many different faiths.
Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung emphasizes the chi flow component, rather than focusing on physical forms and techniques. What really raises it to a high-level art is practicing at the mind level, rather than just physical or energetic levels. The concept of practicing "at the mind level" might come off as vague or incomprehensible until it is experienced directly.
At the fundamental level, everything is energy, including your thoughts. As Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung cleanses you at every level, including body, energy and mind, over time your practice clears away mind energy that is out of balance. By including standing meditation in the practice, we also give ourselves time to enjoy being thought-free, something which is generally feared in Western society.

Rules are everywhere and represent the most natural way for analysts and domain experts to formalize the business logic of their area of competence. A marketing manager can determine in this way the discount rules maximizing the income of a travel agency. A doctor can use them to diagnose a disease based on the presence or absence of certain symptoms. A labor consultant can regulate under which circumstances a worker can ask for retirement and with which compensation. A linguist can catalogue the words in a natural language sentence to produce a sentiment analysis tool. A bank accountant can establish which criteria an applicant should satisfy to get a mortgage. All these scenarios can be naturally translated into rules. The possibilities and range of applicability are basically infinite.
Drools is a rule engine, the upstream project powering Red Hat Decision Manager, and a business rule management system that allows to define and efficiently evaluate and execute rules in a declarative way such as "when A then B". Using this sort of rules, instead of an imperative programming language, not only has the advantage of making the business logic much easier to understand and enabling business analysts to write, modify, verify and validate it. It even improves the maintainability of the knowledge base and makes it easier to deal with its evolving complexity: modifying a rule and determining the impact of these changes on the rest of the application is relatively straightforward. This approach also promotes modularity, since each rule models an isolated and small portion of the business logic and is not part of a monolithic program. Finally it provides a clear separation of the business logic from the rest of the infrastructural and architectural code of your application. This is relevant especially considering that typically they have a totally different lifecycle: the validity of a marketing rule can last even only a few hours while the architecture of your software application is designed to last for years.
The Decision Model and Notation (DMN™) is a Standard by OMG© providing a common and visual notation readily understandable by all users and personas.
Drools is an open source DMN engine written in Java™, providing full runtime support for DMN models at Conformance level 3, meaning 100% of the features in the Standard.

Shrewsbury School in the running for top awards
by Lucy TodmanShrewsbury School has been shortlisted for two prestigious awards.
The nominations for the 2020 TES Independent School Awards have been announced and Shrewsbury School is in the running for the Boarding School of the Year Award and the Creativity Award.
The TES (The Times Educational Supplement) Awards recognise the most outstanding independent schools from across the country.
Headmaster Leo Winkley said: “We are thrilled to be shortlisted for two TES Independent Schools Awards 2020. As a thriving full-boarding school, we believe in serious fun. Each seven-day working week is packed with opportunity in an environment that is both challenging and kind. The community spirit enjoyed and created by all our girls and boys, whether boarders or day pupils, is really special.
“To be recognised as a school of creativity is testimony to the long heritage of innovation and independent thinking that inspired the creators of Private Eye and the work of Charles Darwin and many other former pupils of the school who have led lives of purpose and spirit.
“We will continue to pursue our unique model of whole person education, working to make these life-enhancing opportunities available to a wider range of pupils through our transformative bursaries programme.”
TES editor Ann Mroz said: “The Independent schools in this country are truly exceptional. And those that have earned a place on the TES Independent School Awards shortlist are a cut above the rest. We received an unparalleled number of entries this year, all of which were first rate. The schools that have been shortlisted should be proud - it's a remarkable achievement."


THAT THING YOU DO! A film review by Cooper Redwine Copyright 1997 Cooper Redwine
Starring: Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler, Johnathon Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry, Tom Hanks, Bill Cobbs, Rita Wilson. Director: Tom Hanks. Screenplay: Tom Hanks. MPAA Rating: PG (for some language). Running Time: 108 minutes.
THAT THING YOU DO! is a good-natured, simple-minded movie that has a few magic moments. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't. It's too boring. Despite the presence of charismatic screen personalities like Tom Hanks and Liv Tyler, the film is not very funny, not very dramatic, and not very romantic. And for a movie about youth, the film is surprisingly lethargic. There may have been enough material here for 88 minutes, but the movie drones on for another full hour beyond that, and even the music eventually becomes tedious.
The basic story is a promising basis for an entertaining film: In 1964, four charming young men from Erie, Pennsylvania, form a rock group. Luck is with them for a while, and their signature song "That Thing You Do!" becomes a big hit. But success brings internal dissension that finally causes the group to break up.
In my opinion, the best thing about the film is its evocative sense of time and place, which I suppose should be credited to Tom Hanks as director. On the other hand, the music in the film is disappointing since it relies too heavily on playing "That Thing You Do!" over and over. The song is fun the first couple of times, but it started to grate long before its eleventh playing near the end of the film.
The actors who play the young rockers are fine in their roles, and Liv Tyler is well cast as the pretty and sweet girlfriend of one of the musicians. Tom Hanks plays the supporting role of the record executive who becomes the rock group's manager, and I must say that I found this usually reliable actor rather unconvincing here.
However, my main criticism of Hanks is in his capacity as screenwriter. There is too little conflict in the film for it to be a good drama, and there is too little that is funny in the film for it to be a good comedy. The maddening thing is that the core of a very good movie appears to be present in THAT THING YOU DO!, but what seems to be needed to bring it out is more pathos, faster pacing, and less monotonous music.
Even though I didn't like this movie, I recognize that people who think Tom Hanks can do no wrong, people who are nostalgic about the early 1960s, and people who enjoy fantasies set in the recent past will probably think that THAT THING YOU DO! is pretty good. However, for those not falling in any of the above categories, this film is at best something to have running off videotape in the background while doing unpleasant chores.

Kwame Bonsu nets debut Esperance goal in friendly win over CS Hammam-Lif
Midfielder Kwame Bonsu scored his first goal for Esperance on Sunday, 17 November, 2019 in the 3-1 friendly win over CS Hammam-Lif.
The former Asante Kotoko found the back of the net in the 72nd minute for the last goal of the match.
Two minutes later, he was replaced by A Cisse.
Bonsu has put in consistent displays for the Blood and Gold since his arrival at the club during the summer to replace Cameroonian Frank Kom.
Esperance shot into the lead through Fedi Ben Choug after 30 minutes before Abdelraouf Benguit doubled it six minutes later.
Rabii Bouzid pulled one back for CS Hammam-Lif just before the half time whistle.


NBL import Rice jnr pleads not guilty
New Zealand Breakers import Glen Rice jnr has pleaded not guilty to a single charge of injuring with intent when he appeared in an Auckland court.
The son of three-time NBA All-Star Glen Rice was released on bail and is to appear in court again in February.
Rice was arrested last week after an incident outside an Auckland bar. His lawyer lodged the not guilty plea and elected a trial by a judge, rejecting a jury trial.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Rice's arrest came only days after he joined the Auckland-based Breakers as an injury replacement.
The NBL has since ordered Rice's suspension, and the club has complied.
Breakers owner and CEO Matt Walsh attended court with Rice and spoke to reporters outside the courtroom. Rice stood next to Walsh dressed in a charcoal suit, blue shirt and pale grey tie, and refused to comment.
"We are going to let it play out in the New Zealand law system," Walsh said. "While that happens we are going to continue to support Glen and, like anyone else going through this process, just keep an open mind and see how it plays out."
Rice attended Georgia Tech but was dismissed by coach Brian Gregory in 2012 after multiple suspensions, the last involving a shooting outside an Atlanta nightclub.
He was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 35th pick in the 2013 draft but later traded to Washington. He was waived by the Wizards in January 2015.

Object ownership
One of the main things a binding developer should have in mind is how the C++ instances lives will cope with Python’s reference count. The last thing you want is to crash a program due to a segfault when your C++ instance was deleted and the wrapper object tries to access the invalid memory there.
In this section we’ll show how Shiboken deals with object ownership and parentship, taking advantage of the information provided by the APIExtractor.
Ownership basics
As any python binding, Shiboken-based bindings uses reference counting to handle the life of the wrapper object (the Python object that contains the C++ object, do not confuse with the wrapped C++ object). When a reference count reaches zero, the wrapper is deleted by Python garbage collector and tries to delete the wrapped instance, but sometimes the wrapped C++ object is already deleted, or maybe the C++ object should not be freed after the Python wrapper go out of scope and die, because C++ is already taking care of the wrapped instance.
In order to handle this, you should tell the generator whether the instance’s ownership belongs to the binding or to the C++ Library. When belonging to the binding, we are sure that the C++ object won’t be deleted by C++ code and we can call the C++ destructor when the refcount reaches 0. Otherwise, instances owned by C++ code can be destroyed arbitrarily, without notifying the Python wrapper of its destruction.
Invalidating objects
To prevent segfaults and double frees, the wrapper objects are invalidated. An invalidated can’t be passed as argument or have an attribute or method accessed. Trying to do this will raise RuntimeError.
The following situations can invalidate an object:
C++ taking ownership
When an object is passed to a function or method that takes ownership of it, the wrapper is invalidated as we can’t be sure of when the object is destroyed, unless it has a virtual destructor or the transfer is due to the special case of parent ownership.
Besides being passed as argument, the called object can have its ownership changed, like the setParent method in Qt’s QObject.
Invalidate after use
Objects marked with invalidate-after-use in the type system description always are virtual method arguments provided by a C++ originated call. They should be invalidated right after the Python function returns.
Objects with virtual methods
A little bit of implementation details: virtual methods are supported by creating a C++ class, the shell, that inherits from the class with virtual methods, the native one, and override those methods to check if any derived class in Python also override it.
If the class has a virtual destructor (and C++ classes with virtual methods should have), this C++ instance invalidates the wrapper only when the overridden destructor is called.
One exception to this rule is when the object is created in C++, like in a factory method. This way the wrapped object is a C++ instance of the native class, not the shell one, and we cannot know when it is destroyed.
Parent-child relationship
One special type of ownership is the parent-child relationship. Being a child of an object means that when the object’s parent dies, the C++ instance also dies, so the Python references will be invalidated. Qt’s QObject system, for example, implements this behavior, but this is valid for any C++ library with similar behavior.
Parentship heuristics
As the parent-child relationship is very common, Shiboken tries to automatically infer what methods falls into the parent-child scheme, adding the extra directives related to ownership.
This heuristic will be triggered when generating code for a method and:
The function is a constructor.
The argument name is parent.
The argument type is a pointer to an object.
When triggered, the heuristic will set the argument named “parent” as the parent of the object being created by the constructor.
The main focus of this process was to remove a lot of hand written code from type system when binding Qt libraries. For Qt, this heuristic works in all cases, but be aware that it might not when binding your own libraries.
To activate this heuristic, use the –enable-parent-ctor-heuristic command line switch.
Return value heuristics
When enabled, object returned as pointer in C++ will become child of the object on which the method was called.
To activate this heuristic, use the –enable-return-value-heuristic
Common pitfalls
Not saving unowned objects references
Sometimes when you pass an instance as argument to a method and the receiving instance will need that object to live indefinitely, but will not take ownership of the argument instance. In this case, you should hold a reference to the argument instance.
For example, let’s say that you have a renderer class that will use a source class in a setSource method but will not take ownership of it. The following code is wrong, because when render is called the Source object created during the call to setSource is already destroyed.
renderer.setModel(Source()) renderer.render()To solve this, you should hold a reference to the source object, like in
source = Source() renderer.setSource(source) renderer.render()
Ownership Management in the Typesystem
For the possible values of the class
attribute, see
Code Generation Terminology.
Ownership transfer from C++ to target
When an object currently owned by C++ has its ownership transferred back to the target language, the binding can know for sure when the object will be deleted and tie the C++ instance existence to the wrapper, calling the C++ destructor normally when the wrapper is deleted.
<modify-argument index="1"> <define-ownership class="target" owner="target" /> </modify-argument>
Ownership transfer from target to C++
In the opposite direction, when an object ownership is transferred from the target language to C++, the native code takes full control of the object life and you don’t know when that object will be deleted, rendering the wrapper object invalid, unless you’re wrapping an object with a virtual destructor, so you can override it and be notified of its destruction.
By default it’s safer to just render the wrapper object invalid and raise some error if the user tries to access one of this objects members or pass it as argument to some function, to avoid unpleasant segfaults. Also you should avoid calling the C++ destructor when deleting the wrapper.
<modify-argument index="1"> <define-ownership class="target" owner="c++" /> </modify-argument>
Parent-child relationship
One special type of relationship is the parent-child. When an object is called the parent of another object (the child), the former is in charge of deleting its child when deleted and the target language can trust that the child will be alive as long as the parent is, unless some other method can take the C++ ownership away from the parent.
One of the main uses of this scheme is Qt’s object system, with ownership among QObject-derived classes, creating “trees” of instances.
<modify-argument index="this"> <parent index="1" action="add"> </modify-argument>
In this example, the instance with the method that is being invoked (indicated by ‘index=”this”’ on modify-argument) will be marked as a child of the first argument using the parent tag. To remove ownership, just use “remove” in the action attribute. Removing parentship also transfers the ownership back to python.
Invalidation after use
Sometimes an object is created as a virtual method call argument and destroyed after the
call returned. In this case, you should use the invalidate-after-use
attribute in the
modify-argument
tag to mark the wrapper as invalid right after the virtual method returns.
<modify-argument index="2" invalidate-after-use="yes"/>
In this example the second argument will be invalidated after this method call.


I am Kenneth Geiler and am currently a sophomore studying computer science at Washington University in St. Louis, I decided to take a semester off to attend Dev Bootcamp in New York City. I came to this decision because I wanted to build on my knowledge about programming with real applications. Dev Bootcamp was the best way to combine my desire for understanding algorithms and creating web applications. I am currently halfway through Dev Bootcamp program, which is a 19 week 70 hours per week course that teaches ruby on rails, javascript, html, css, sql, and various web frameworks. Most importantly, it teaches new developers, like myself, to be able to learn a new language or concept quickly and concretely. Although, I will graduate with a full stack focusing on Rails, I have the ability to pick up new languages or frameworks in a few days time. I look forward to growing as a programmer and creating projects of my own.

Mesh Asset
A mesh asset represents a mesh that can be used for rendering. In the most common case the mesh asset imports the mesh data from an external file, such as an FBX file. However, it also supports generating the mesh data for common shapes (spheres, cylinders, ...) procedurally. Mesh assets are typically added to a scene with a mesh component.
The left hand side of the asset document shows a 3D preview of the mesh. The viewport allows to switch the render mode to inspect the mesh normals, UV coordinates and so on.
On the right hand side the asset properties specify how to import or generate the mesh data.
Important:
The mesh asset does not automatically update when you edit its properties. Instead you need to transform the asset (
Ctrl+E
or with the rightmost button in the toolbar).
Video: How to import meshes
Asset Properties
PrimitiveType
: This selects how the mesh data is generated. IfFrom File
is chosen, you need to also specify theMeshFile
property. If you choose a procedural method, other configuration options appear.ForwardDir
,RightDir
,UpDir
: With these you can change which axis is considered forward, right and up in the mesh data. For mesh data from FBX files, this information is typically embedded in the file. For other file types, you may need to adjust these to make the imported data appear correctly upright.UniformScaling
: Adjusts the size of the mesh, for example to convert a mesh from centimeter to meter scale.RecalculateNormals
,RecalculateTangents
: If enabled, information about normals or tangents in the mesh file is ignored, and is instead computed from the vertex data.NormalPrecision
,TexCoordPrecision
: These options allow you to choose how precise normals and UV coordinates are represented. Leave these at the default, unless you notice precision issues. Higher precision means the mesh takes up more RAM on the GPU and is slightly slower to render.ImportMaterials
: If enabled, the mesh import automatically generates material assets for the materials that the mesh file specifies. It also tries to populate those materials with sensible values and if possible also creates texture assets. Unfortunately this rarely works perfectly, and typically requires you to fix the generated assets afterwards.Note:
Materials are only generated when the mesh has no materials set yet. After the initial creation of these other assets, you usually need to transform the mesh a second time to make them properly show up.
Materials
: The list of materials to use. The mesh may have multiple sub-meshes, and each sub-mesh uses a different material slot. Mesh components can override which material is used for which slot.
Procedural Mesh Generation
Through the PrimitiveType
option you can choose to create a mesh procedurally. In this case object specific options appear. Note that by default objects use a detail level of 0
which means that the editor will pick a decent value, depending on the chosen primitive type.
Be aware that some detail values seemingly have no effect. For instance, for cones, capsules and cylinders the detail represents the number of subdivisions along the circumference, and therefore can't be lower than 3. Therefore the values 1
, 2
and 3
all produce the same result.

I grew up in a town of 5,000 people, with less than 150 in my senior class. We were an extremely tight-knit group, and during my freshman year of college, I found myself missing the good times I had partying with all of my friends. D, one of my best high school friends, was going to the same college as me, and when our good buddy F, who lived a couple hours away in Albany, told us that he was having a Halloween party, We instantly knew what to do. I got on the horn to another integral member of our crew, M for the sake of this story, and told him about it. M was into the idea, and told us he was coming out to go to F's with us.
A 6-hour drive from Buffalo later, M arrived at our school with Dobber, a small time junky and heroin dealer much to our chagrin, riding shotgun. D, M, Dobber, and I went to New York as soon as they got there and stayed in the city all night, driving around and getting into the usual teenage highjinks. We got back to Purchase, D's and my school, at around 6 in the morning and slept until around 4. Now, finally, it was time to go up to F's place. We got on our way, but M and Dobber wanted to score some dope first. Whatever, I thought, I was up for trying heroin again, and smiled as we drove down through Yonkers to the Bronx.
We cruised around the Bronx, trying to score, but to no avail. No problem, back up to Manhattan, we copped dope in Times Square the night before so we might as well try Manhattan again. Driving around, Dobber spied an old man rambling down the street, so we pulled over and Dobber got out. It was so strange for a small-town guy who grew up in the suburbs to see what Halloween night was like in the city. There were kids EVERYWHERE, and they were running recklessly across the street both in front of and behind us with no concern for their own safety. Next thing I know, Dobber and this guy are getting into our car. 'Guys, this is Al.' Dobber said, while D and I exchanged an incredulous look. We made small talk ('So you guys sniffin' or you guys bangin'?') with Al as he directed M to a project on 132nd street in Harlem. Dobber went in with Al, and came out with four waxpaper bags, all stamped with a cute little devil. We dropped Al off, and started driving up to Albany.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
Dobber and M sniffed their bags almost right away, while Derek and I decided to wait. About twenty-five minutes later, I dumped about a third of my bag onto a CD case and scraped the brown powder into a line with a bank card. I rolled up a dollar bill and snorted half the line, coughed, then sniffed the rest. The heroin stung all the way up, and the sensation lingered for a few moments. I nestled back into my seat and waited for it to kick in. We drove a ways, and I started feeling warm relaxation creeping through my body. It started at my toes and pretty soon, my entire being prickled with warm, nice, good feeling. I felt the corners of my mouth curl into a smile and I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Smoking the cigarette felt so good, and I noticed an extraordinary phenomenon. I have always noticed that when I am high or drunk or tripping that my cigarettes seem to never last as long as I would like them to. This time, it was the exact opposite. The cigarette burned away so slowly, and when I flicked it out of the window, I was entirely satisfied with my smoking experience. So satisfied was I that I closed my eyes and forgot entirely that the window was open. I was just feeling great, bobbing my head to the rap music bumping from the stereo.
It was at this point that D decided to snort some of his bag. He dumped out an amount that was about twice as much as I did. He sniffed it then, not to be outdone, I poured out another third of my bag and up it went. This time, it set in a lot faster, and I was plunged into the best feeling I could fathom ever having. I read once that if orgasm is the peak of human existence, heroin is a close second. At that point, I realized that truer words have never been spoken. Then, as if the car ride couldn't have gotten better, M put on my all-time favorite album, Sublime's 'Robbin' the Hood.' I pulled off my sweatshirt, balled it up and put it behind my head, and with a grin, sang along to the CD until the effort of mouthing the words wasn't even worth it.
We drove like this, everyone wordless for half of the album, until we reached a rest area. Pulling off, we went inside and got free cups of water and stood around for a little while. Moving around had some of the feeling of walking while on DXM, not specifically as difficult, but it felt kind of like I was underwater and swimming. We smoked cigarettes and I noticed that my eyes were barely open. Dobber pulled up with M's car and we got in. Back in the car, we were almost to Albany, Sublime still playing, and I was sitting with my eyes closed, visualizing everyday objects and spinning them around with my mind, something that D had described to me before, but I wasn't able to actually conceive until I was doing it. I could bring up anything I had ever seen and rotate, flip, and spin it any way I wanted. I entertained myself with this new ability until we were in Albany and trying to find F's house.
The music had changed several times, and was now on some caustic sounding rap album. Dobber yelled out the window at two costumed girls getting in a fight outside of a bar, and I shook my head to myself. We pulled up to F's and parked the car. Dobber and M got out while D and I lingered in the back seat for a couple of seconds. Dobber said something about us being 'faded' and started towards the house. D and I got out and went in.  Many people were in costumes, and a lot were eating giant chocolate-chip cookies, which we found out were made with three quarters of an ounce of very good pot in each batch of a dozen.
I was feeling amazing from the heroin, and seeing F for the first time in three months was awesome. F showed us where the kegs were and introduced us to a bunch of the people there. From this point until the morning, my memory is fragmented, I have no recollection of any of the time that I spent standing or in transit. F walked us to a Chinese restaurant around the corner from his house, then went back to his party. D, M, and I split a plate of plain fried rice for $2 and cups of water. We returned to F's and dispersed into the mass of people partying.
I remember sitting for a while in a room illuminated by blacklights with D next to me, but we didn't talk to each other.  I talked to one kid for a long time about something I don't remember, and smoked numerous bowls of weed with people who's faces and voices are gone from my memory. I went into the main room and sat in a chair and chatted with F, smoking something else (a bowl or joint).
M, Dobber, and I went outside for fresh air and in the house across the street a lady that was ranting and moving with the trademark bob of a crackhead was throwing all sorts of things from the house out onto the lawn. We laughed for a long time at this lunacy, then Dobber decided to walk over to see what was going on. The lady started hitting on him, and when he returned he was laughing.  He went into the house and got some change and walked over again, offering it to the woman. This upset her and she yelled at him. I was kind of freaked out, thinking that the police were surely going to come, so I went inside to see what was going on.
I chatted with various people, until I started feeling extremely tired and generally bad inside, a feeling much like smoking a lot of pot after drinking heavily. D, M, and I went into F's room and the two of them laid down on his bed. Shafted in the arrangement, if I wanted to lay down I would be stuck half on the bed, half on the floor where anyone entering the room would hit me in the back with the door. I stood for a while, feeling worse and worse and worse until they convinced me to lay down, even though the spot was far from condusive of a good rest.
I drifted in and out of sleep, people were coming and going, getting their pillows and blankets, as F's room was serving as the depository for everyone's stuff. At one point a very drunk girl came in and laid down on M and I.  Thinking nothing of it, I closed my eyes and went back to that torturous half-sleep, feeling as if I was spinning in circles and fairly positive I was going to puke all over the place.
The next time I woke up, she was gone, and F was kicking us out of his room. I got up and staggered into the main room where all of F's friends were sleeping. Again, there was no room for me, except for a tiny space by another door. M walked out with me and squeezed himself in between me and another person. D, though, refused to wake and had to be dragged out by his ankles. I drifted off again, having the door opened into my side a couple of times, and was awoken by one of the partgoers. His exact words are lost forever, but he said something about the girls who were sleeping in the middle of the room moving to a futon, so I took their spot, sleeping with no blanket for a few hours. I woke up again a few hours later, still feeling extremely nauseous, but warm now as someone had draped a blanket over me. It was light now and a lot of people had left. I took the girls' spots on the abandoned futon, and conked out for another two hours.
Then, F and D woke me up and I arose. It was about noontime, and we walked to the general store, where D and I bought the essentials - candy, soda, and cigarettes. It was at this time we decided to tell F exactly what we had done. Predictably, F was disappointed, and he mocked us for a little while. We walked back to his house and I was feeling better, thinking that I was finally back to baseline. I smoked a couple of bowls while watching a British comedy show from the early 80's entitled 'The Young Ones.' D went back to bed, having smoked a joint with F before waking me and now feeling the same badness we felt that night again.
M was up and we hung around, meeting F's roommates for real. We threw F's friend H $10 in exchange for smoking the rest of his pot with us. We each took a rip from their gravity bong, and M and I split one of the pot cookies. As soon as I took the hit from the gravity bong I felt overwhelmed. The heroin feeling rushed instantly into my body and my head started throbbing. I went outside, thinking I was going to vomit, and found Dobber and M there. Dobber was cajoling M into leaving in the next half-hour so they could get back to Harlem before 7:00 and get the good dope. M finally relented and we went back inside. I sat down in a chair and slunk down, eyes closed.
Finally, I started feeling better. I went from feeling the worst I thought it was humanly possible to feel, to feeling normal, to feeling the best I thought was humanly possible. We watched more of 'The Young Ones' and I laughed harder than I thought I'd ever laugh. Of course, as soon as I was having a great time hanging with F and the people he'd told me about for the past three months in our AOL Instant Messenger conversations, M declared it was time to go. I was forced into the unpleasant task of negotiating with H for him to give us our share of the pot to bring with us instead of hanging out and smoking with him, something that I felt awful about, as I thought it made us, and me especially, seem sketchy.
While I was doing this, M, Dobber, and F were waking D. We shook hands with all of F's friends and with F, telling him that we would come up again as soon as we got the chance. D and I slept for pretty much the entire ride back to Purchase, although I woke up to smoke the joint. M and Dobber drove back to Buffalo the next day, and D and I reflected on our weekend. I had quite mixed reactions to my first actual heroin experience. The feeling was the most incredible thing I had ever encountered, and the closed eye hallucinations were amazing. I definitely think that I will do dope again, although after seeing what has happened to M because of regular use, I will be exceedingly careful.

|---|---|
| Declared in | AENetworkReachabilityManager.h AENetworkReachabilityManager.m |
Overview
AENetworkReachabilityManager
monitors the reachability of domains, and addresses for both WWAN and WiFi network interfaces.
Reachability can be used to determine background information about why a network operation failed, or to trigger a network operation retrying when a connection is established. It should not be used to prevent a user from initiating a network request, as it’s possible that an initial request may be required to establish reachability.
See Apple’s Reachability Sample Code ( https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/reachability/ )
Warning: Instances of AENetworkReachabilityManager
must be started with startMonitoring
before reachability status can be determined.
Queue a status change notification for the main thread.
This is done to ensure that the notifications are received in the same order as they are sent. If notifications are sent directly, it is possible that a queued notification (for an earlier status condition) is processed AEter the later update, resulting in the listener being left in the wrong state.

I’ve always loved magazines, and have followed their progression from monthly glossies to retweets. In fact I even wrote a bit for Refinery29 when she was a baby. So when I was assigned to build an “App That You Would Use!” during my graduate study, I figured, why not make a magazine for the tablet. No browsers, no excessive tabs and loading time. Just power on and read and covet beautiful things.
The full assignment was to design an app and use ActionScript 3 to completely build this sucker from scratch.

I’ve revisited this assignment recently as a design study using some of the design thinking and tools that I’ve acquired over the last several months in order to continue my growth as a designer.
It didn't take long to realize that competition was nil. Wired was doing the best job and GQ was using pdf hotspots. There really were no fashion editorial men’s magazines that were doing what I envisioned for OUT.com on the tablet. I was addicted to my iPad at the time so I knew what interactions I liked and which ones I didn’t. It would have to be something easy and addictive like Flipboard.
So I started sketching, using Flipboard as an inspiration for both my design and development research.
My hypothesis was that building an app that could bypass the clunkiness of using browsers on a tablet would be more beneficial to readers. Who would be my guinea persona? Me, of course!
I happened to be interning with the Digital Creative Director at Here Media at the time, so it was a perfect opportunity to try to expound on what I now know to be an existing MVP, the OUT.com RSS feed. That there were already subscribers to the OUT.com rss feed meant that there would of course be some viability to creating a more robust tablet experience based off of this. Looking back, I wonder how many rss feed subscribers would have responded positively to an email survey inquiry regarding their interest in an OUT tablet app.
I presented my project idea to the 'client', my Creative Director, and he informed me that the idea was great, but that the budget and readership were not. Out Magazine is a bonafide glossy, one of the few successful ones left in face! This digital product would need to trump the current website and help drive traffic overall, which would probably need a lot more resources and funds allocation, than my one man design team could allow for.
This nugget actually fed my curiosity for investigating the publishing app platform and still does. If people were going to go from glossy to glassy and be bound by browser UI, the experience would need to be beautiful. Or as beautiful as my novice Illustrator could muster. This was my first foray away from Photoshop for a UI project as well.
I presented my prototype to my Professor and to the Creative Director and Marketing Manager, and the feedback I received was great, they loved the logic of my app, though Readership at OUT didn’t really demand such a product.
The app’s ultimate setback was the RSS feed. It would need to be far more robust in order to facilitate my design. ActionScript 3 wasn’t good at adding tags into xml, I learned. It would have to be reprogrammed which would cost money etc… But it was viable! My design had salience!
My original prototype was a little less polished and done in Illustrator, but I’ve recently reinterpreted it in an effort to master Sketch. Take a look!
Since 2012 when I designed this app, the website itself has undergone a change that pretty almost mimics the navigation that I envisioned bak in 2012. I've also updated the design to mirror that of the homepage.

CARLITO'S WAY A film review by Vjay Ramanujan Copyright 1993 Vjay Ramanujan
Cast: Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller
From the opening shot of Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) being shot in Grand Central Station, with his girlfriend Gail (Penelope Ann Miller) by his side, you know there is going to be precious little suspense in this movie. Even the killer's identity is obvious halfway through the movie (if it takes that long). And in this case, that lack of suspense is crucial to the success of the movie. It doesn't allow you to spend so much time guessing that you miss the real substance of the movie, a character drama about a reformed mobster trying to detach his survival instinct from his killer instinct.
Brigante is released from prison on a technicality five years into a thirty-year prison term, and takes this second chance as an opportunity to go clean. He gives an acceptance speech in the courtroom, thanking his lawyer, his supporters, and even the prosecutor, for obtaining evidence illegally. His dream is to save $75,000 to buy into a friend's car rental place in the Bahamas, and to hook up with Gail, the girlfriend he dumped on the way into prison.
Right from the start you know two important things. 1) Carlito doesn't make it. You've already seen his get shot. 2) There's something not quite right with Kleinfeld (Sean Penn), Carlito's lawyer. Sean Penn turns in a great performance as the coke addicted, unscrupulous attorney trying to become a player in the Hispanic/Italian mob scene. He brings Carlito into partnership with a mobster, as part owner of a night club. He steals a girl from Benny Blanco, an up and coming leader in the drug trade. He steals $1 million from a client, bribe money intended to silence a witness.
Carlito is not your typical mobster hero, in control of everything and everyone. In fact, there are strong indications that he is washed up, unfit for the streets. The first scene is an obvious tip-off. Carlito doesn't realize that making his way out of the game is probably harder than surviving within its confines. He can't afford to take the liberties with the law that his adversaries can. Given a chance to kill Benny Blanco, he tells his henchmen to let Blanco go, admitting that it is probably a mistake. But if he doesn't make that kind of mistake, he is back in again.
With those two characters in place, the movie is filled out with the usual backups. There's the suffering girlfriend who dreams of becoming a Broadway dancer, but bides her time in a topless bar. There's Benny, the street punk who thinks he deserves respect from the legend, Carlito. There's Carlito's cousin, who is making small cash running drugs, and makes the mistake of trusting the people he deals with. There's the loyal sidekick, Pachango, and Sasso, the old washed-up loser who Carlito goes into business with. However, all of them take on some personality of their own, with the possible exception of Gail.
As for the acting, the leading roles were exceptional. On the way out of the theater, one of the people I had seen it with complained that Pacino no longer had the screen presence that he once had, that he doesn't seem as intimidating and as for the acting, the leading roles were exceptional. On the way out of the theater, one of the people I had seen it with complained that Pacino no longer had the screen presence that he once had, that he doesn't seem as intimidating anymore. All of those things could be said of Carlito. He not only looks confused, but gives the feeling that this used to come naturally. And Penn, as I said earlier, was excellent in showing Kleinfeld's descent, and eventual madness.
The supporting roles were good, especially Blanco, but nothing spectacular. The direction was obviously well done, especially the first and last scenes, in Grand Central Station. Overall, the movie rates a high three on a four-point scale.

Ninja house in northeastern Japan faces risk of demolition
AOMORI — A historic house supposedly used as a ninja base hundreds of years ago in northeastern Japan faces risk of demolition as its owners are seeking to sell the property due to high maintenance costs, leaving its fate up to the possible buyer.
The new owner of the one-story house, which sits in a narrow alley near the Hirosaki city hall in Aomori Prefecture, will not be obligated to preserve the property.
The house was built in the late Edo Era (1603-1868) and served as a station for the "Hayamichi-no-mono" ninja troop in the Hirosaki Domain, according to Shigeto Kiyokawa, a professor at Aomori University who also assumes an advisory role for its "ninja club."
In a tour of the residence held in late September, around 20 participants were able to get a feel of the real existence of ninjas, as they entered into a hidden compartment behind a wall used for eavesdropping, and walked on floors intentionally designed to make chirping sounds to alert residents of intruders.
Hideaki Aida, 83, and his wife, who have maintained the residence for the past 30 years, decided to sell the property due to high tax costs and the time-consuming snow clearing required during winter.
Although Kiyokawa requested that the city preserve the ninja house as a national cultural property, he was met with reluctance on the grounds the building had undergone remodeling, among other reasons.
"It's a valuable building which ninjas actually used as a base for their activities. I want to see if there's any way I can get the word out and make use of it," said Kiyokawa.
