Class PaymentChannelServer
- java.lang.Object
-
- org.bitcoinj.protocols.channels.PaymentChannelServer
-
public class PaymentChannelServer extends java.lang.Object
A handler class which handles most of the complexity of creating a payment channel connection by providing a simple in/out interface which is provided with protobufs from the client and which generates protobufs which should be sent to the client.
Does all required verification of messages and properly stores state objects in the wallet-attached
StoredPaymentChannelServerStates
so that they are automatically closed when necessary and payment transactions are not lost if the application crashes before it unlocks.

PaymentChannelServer
public PaymentChannelServer(TransactionBroadcaster broadcaster, Wallet wallet, Coin minAcceptedChannelSize, PaymentChannelServer.ServerConnection conn)
Creates a new server-side state manager which handles a single client connection. The server will only accept a channel with time window between 4 hours and 1 week. Note that the server need to be online for the whole time the channel is open. Failure to do this could cause loss of all payments received on the channel.- Parameters:
broadcaster
- The PeerGroup on which transactions will be broadcast - should have multiple connections.wallet
- The wallet which will be used to complete transactions. UnlikePaymentChannelClient
, this does not have to already contain a StoredState managerminAcceptedChannelSize
- The minimum value the client must lock into this channel. A value too large will be rejected by clients, and a value too low will require excessive channel reopening and may cause fees to be require to settle the channel. A reasonable value depends entirely on the expected maximum for the channel, and should likely be somewhere between a few bitcents and a bitcoin.conn
- A callback listener which represents the connection to the client (forwards messages we generate to the client and will close the connection on request)

The hallmark of the FF series. These giant birds, sort of a cross between an ostrich and a chicken, are the work horses and all-around awesome beasts of the FF universe. Usually a corn yellow in color, their usage varies wildly from game to game. Baby chocobos are known as chicobos (or "kochocobo"s in Japan). In many games, Chocobos can be called in battle as summons. However, their primary purpose is transportation, though usually you have to catch one to use it. Riding on a chocobo will prevent enemy encounters, and in some games they can be upgraded to different colors. These different colors usually indicated different abilities, like being able to walk on water, mountains, or even fly.
The chocobos' trademark sound is usually "Wark!" (Click here for the Wark from FF7!) In FF9 this was changed to "Kweh!" They have their own theme music, as well (currently playing if you have the music on). See In-Crossovers: music for more information. The Chocobos have a wide variety of their own games (see Ex-Crossovers and Release Info for more information).
The first named Chocobo was Boko, Bartz' trusty steed in FF5. In FF9, some black mages find a chocobo egg and raise it, naming it Bobby Corwen. Chobi the Chocobo in FFU has the same Chocobo Kick summon ability, and the same affinity for spicy-hot Dead Peppers as the Chocobos in FF9 did. There's also a "Chubby Chocobo" or "Fat Chocobo". In FF4, he can store any excess items in his stomach (ewww!) to be regurgitated later when you need them (ewww!). In FF9, he's the ruler of the Chocobo Paradise. These guys have their own separate theme click here to hear it!

| 2: Used for riding; runs back home after dismounting. | |
| 3: Used for riding, runs back home after dismounting. Can also be called into battle as a summon. Using Gysahl Greens, you can also summon a Chubby Chocobo that will hold excess items for you. | |
| 4: Rydia can summon a Chocobo into battle using her Call ability. Different colored Chocobos can be found in Chocobo Forests, including white Chocobos that restore MP, black chocobos that can fly, and standard yellow chocobos for riding. Unlike the yellow ones, black chocobos will wait for you to get back on before flying back to their homes. Chubby Chocobo/Fat Chocobo shows up here as well. | |
| 5: Can be called into battle as a Summon; Chubby Chocobo sometimes appears instead. Your chocobo buddy Boko will give you a lift earlier on in the game, but after that chocobos are in short supply. Boko and Koko are yellow chocobos, and are the only ones to make an appearance in this title. | |
| 6: Instead of catching Chocobos, you rent them from stables that can be found in towns and forests. You can ride them anywhere you can access over land, and they run back home after you've dismounted. | |
| 7: The Choco/Mog Materia summons a stampede of Chocobos with Moogles riding them. If you're lucky, the materia may instead summon a morbidly obese Fat Chocobo to drop on the enemies. To catch them for travel, you have to have the Chocobo Lure Materia and have them show up in battle; then defeat all enemies besides the Chocobo, before it flees, to capture it. You can race them in the Gold Saucer for prizes, and breed them into different "specialty" chocobos that can cross various types of terrain; turquoise for rivers, green for mountains, black for mountains and rivers, and gold ones can go anywhere! | |
| 7CC: You can't ride them, but you can summon them via the DMW, and their Chocobo Stomp will put a big crimp in enemies' plans! You can also see the Chocobo Farm from FF7 in a few missions, but you can't enter. | |
| 8: Chocobos can be retrived from Chocobo Forests scattered throughout the world after solving a puzzle (sort of a mini-game), and then ridden. Can be called into battle by using Gysahl Greens. | |
| = | 9: Chocobos can be raised and used for treasure hunting in the Chocobo Hot and Cold minigame, which leads you to some of the best items in the game.  Dead Peppers seem to be the Chocobo's favorite snack in this game. Your Chocobo can gain powers in the minigame, as follows: light blue for rivers, red for mountains, blue for oceans, and gold ones can fly! |
| 10: You can rent riding Chocobos only on the Mi'ihen Highroad and the Calm Lands. To get one on the Calm Lands you need to ride them through an obstacle course first. Chocobos are also decked in armor and used by the crusaders at the battle of Mushroom Rock. Later in the game, they're used in a racing mini-game. | |
| X-2: Chocobos will show up in battles (they can attack, cast spells, and be killed!); you can capture them by feeding them Gysahl Greens once the enemies are gone. You can then raise them on Clasko's Chocobo ranch. You can still only ride them on the Highroad and Calm Lands, but you can also send them out to scout for items in various spots. There's a secret Chocobo Ruins inside the ranch, too, with the prize being the Excellent Chocobo! | |
| 11: Chocobos are a major method of transportation, and can be ridden after completing a quest upon reaching level 20. Time spent on Chocobos is limited, but can be extended using certain equipment. Chocobos also feature in a few sidequests including Chocobo Raising, Chocobo Racing, and Chocobo Hot and Cold. It's possible to raise yellow, red, green, black, and blue Chocobos. | |
| 12: You can rent Chocobos from Gurdy in various towns for various prices. Chocobos can only be ridden for 180 seconds, after which they'll run away. You can dash up to three times while riding. You can also (rarely) find wild chocobos wandering around; you can ride them (with the same caveats) by feeding them a Gysahl Greens. You can also find various colors of Chocobo (Green, Brown, Black, Red) which will attack you; some of them can even use Chocobo Meteor! There's also a flashing white Chocobo called Trickster who's a mark, and an extremely rare L.99 Red Chocobo which appears in the Ozmone Plains. | |
| 12: Chocobos are low-level Espers which work great as grunt troops; however, in Midlight's Deep you'll find green, red, and black Chocobos which can cure or shoot meteors, and they're led by Tricksters which can make them all vanish! | |
| Tactics: Chocobos are treated as regular monsters, that can fight with or against you. If you move a character on top of them, they'll mount the creature and gain its movement attributes. Yellow Chocobos can cure, Black ones can cast Esuna, and Red ones can cast Choco Meteor! | |
| Tactics Advance: Judges use Chocobos to ride into battles. They can also be used in the Animist "Chocobo Rush" ability. Other than that, little is known of the creatures in this game. | |
| Tactics A2: Chocobos come in six colors: black, brown, yellow, green, white, and red. You can encounter all of them as monsters, and there's also a special moogle class (Chocobo Knight) which can capture and ride them. Some can fly, some can heal, others have long-distance attacks. | |
| MQ: The only real use for Chocobos in this game is for weathercocks on the houses in Windia. | |
| Unlimited: Chobi the Chocobo in FFU has what looks like the "Chocobo Kick" summon ability, and the same affinity for spicy-hot Dead Peppers as the Chocobos in FF9 do. | |
| The Spirits Within: Chocobos can be seen in two different spots. Once on a man's briefcase and another time on Aki's pajamas. |


Although they represent conceptually similar concepts, negated elements cannot substitute for conditions that express inequalities. Each has a different effect on how the query matches the database. Consider the database fragment shown in Figure 4.34.
If we want to find books not written by Stephen King, we have
at least two options, depending on our intent. As our first option,
the query in Figure 4.35 seems to satisfy
this goal.
The inequality in the condition on the
author vertex,
Name <> Stephen King,
specifies that only books linked to persons that are not Stephen King
are to be included in the query results. The results of running this
query on the database fragment in Figure 4.34
are shown below:
The results of this query include both person and book objects. As
specified in the query, we only match books linked to
person objects with a
Name attribute not equal to
Stephen King.
To be more precise, because QGraph works with set-valued
attributes, the query’s author
vertex matches person objects if their
Name attribute includes at least one value
other than Stephen King.
The query uses numeric annotations to group the results into a single
subgraph, so both books written by Peter Straub are included in the
subgraph.
The query shown in Figure 4.37 also appears to satisfy our goal of finding books not written by Stephen King.
In this case, the negated author vertex
specifies that we can only match book objects that are not connected
to a person
named Stephen King. This is different than matching
books connected to people not named Stephen King, as
seen in the results of the second query, below.
Because Stephen King is one of the authors of The
Talisman, this book is not included in the query results.
The Talisman is included in the results of the
first query because it is connected to a second author, satisfying the
inequality condition. Also, remember that
negated elements
are not included in query
results, therefore the second query’s results
do not include an author object (and associated links).
Both queries can be viewed as satisfying our goal of identifying books not written by Stephen King. Each makes us aware of an unstated assumption in this initial goal—do we want books written exclusively by someone else or books that are not solely written by Stephen King? And each query also has a different impact on the form of the resulting subgraphs. The inequality condition must still match an object in the database so the corresponding objects appear in the results. But a negated element cannot match a database entity and therefore there can be no corresponding element in the query results.

Here's A Healthier Version Of The Iconic Green Bean Casserole
by Functional Medicine PractitionerEveryone's favorite Thanksgiving dish, the iconic green bean casserole is usually made with cans of cream of who-knows-what and loads of flour. A lot of no-no's if you are following a ketogenic diet (high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate). While its main ingredients—green beans and onions—are actually low-carb and perfectly fine to enjoy while following a keto diet, the rest has got to go.
Not to worry though, as the author of the plant-based keto book, Ketotarian, I have a couple keto tricks up my sleeve when it comes to easy and delicious swaps. And with a just few simple substitutions you can still take part in this classic dish.
Keto Green Bean Casserole
Yields 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms of choice, sliced
- 2 lbs green beans, cut in half
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Start off by making the mushroom sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add in mushrooms and diced onion and cook until onions are soft. Add in garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add in the chicken bone broth, coconut cream, coconut milk, and sea salt and pepper and heat until boiling. Reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- In another skillet, add 1 more tablespoon of coconut oil along with 1 1/2 cups mushrooms and sliced yellow onion and cook until onions are soft. Remove mushrooms and onion and set aside on a plate.
- Add green beans to skillet with more oil if needed and cook until done. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl mix together almond flour and onion powder with 1 more tablespoon of coconut oil. In a separate bowl mix together green beans, mushrooms, and onions with the mushroom sauce.
- Pour green bean mixture in casserole dish and top with almond flour mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until topping is brown and crispy.

This class implements pan gesture handling. It has been greatly simplified and modernized from Vivin Paliath's version and now supports "inflation" from an XML layout as well as automatic handling of view layout and re-layout by Android.
Note: to enable assertions, make sure the application is compiled with DEBUG enabled. In Android Studio, use the Build->Edit Build Types... menu. Select the "Debug" build type and make sure the "debuggable" option is set to true.

Wealth disparity writ large in burglary
by LettersI confess to finding myself rather unconcerned that jewellery worth over a million pounds has been stolen, writes Cherry Weston
With all the discussion over whether or not there should be billionaires in our society, I confess to finding myself rather unconcerned that jewellery worth over £1m has been stolen from a £6m mansion in north London (Report, 19 November).
This is one of the consequences of huge and visible inequality – those with so much less deeply resent the gap and decide to take redistribution into their own hands. his has led to gated communities for the rich, who sit in fear inside, while the poor lurk outside pressing their noses against the glass. Not a happy life for either side.
The fact that some members of the family, including children, were at home when the intruders broke in is by far the worst aspect of the crime and one can feel great sympathy for the mother involved. But when so many people are struggling to feed their families, why should we care that a wealthy family has just lost one of its millions?

A complete binary tree has a restricted shape obtained by starting at the root and filling the tree by levels from left to right. In the complete binary tree of height d, all levels except possibly level d are completely full. If an inorder traversal of a complete binary tree visits the nodes in the order ABCDEF (where each letter is the value of a node), which order are the nodes visited during an postorder traversal?

A Support System for Anxiety
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive obsessive thoughts that result in compulsive ritualistic behaviors and routines. While it's possible to have only obsessive symptoms, or only compulsive symptoms, they usually occur in conjunction. People suffering from OCD experience uncontrollable, distressing thoughts or fears about certain things (such as dirt, germs, or order) which then lead to compulsive behaviors performed as an attempt to alleviate worry or anxiety. Just being a "neat freak" or afraid of germs doesn't necessarily constitute OCD - OCD is diagnosed by obsessions and compulsions which significantly interfere with daily life.
Symptoms of OCD can be divided into obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are described as being "ego dystonic", which means that even though the person who experiences them recognizes them as their own thoughts, they feel the obsessions are outside of their control.
Obsessions that are symptomatic of OCD include:
In diagnosed OCD, sufferers will usually spend at least an hour a day dealing with intrusive thoughts or compulsions.
Compulsions are repetitive physical or mental actions that a person engages in to reduce anxiety. Often, the compulsion is designed to counteract or undo an obsession. Compulsions that are symptomatic of OCD include:
Symptoms of OCD may increase or decrease in severity during one's lifespan, and are often the most intense when a person is under stress.
On average, one-third of adults who will be afflicted by the condition show signs of OCD as children, and are later diagnosed around age 19. Over 3 million americans suffer from OCD each year, and OCD does not seem to affect one gender more than another. Research has yet to provide evidence-based, direct causes of OCD. However, the following factors are noted as possible contributors to the disorder:
In order to qualify for a diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, someone must have either obsessions or compulsions (or both) and these must interfere with their daily functioning. The person must also recognize, to some degree, that the obsessions and/or compulsions are excessive or unreasonable.
OCD is treated with both therapy and medications. Many professionals recommend a synthesis of the two, and emphasize that medication alone may not be effective for treating the cause of the affliction. Supplementing these methods with alternative treatments like meditation, mindfulness training, or yoga may facilitate recovery.
Psychotherapy is commonly used to help with OCD. Psychotherapy methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), involve helping the individual see the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Once this connection is understood, therapists will work with patients using a variety of techniques to change the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that underlie and perpetuate the OCD.
One psychotherapeutic approach, exposure therapy, is frequently used by experts when treating OCD. In exposure therapy, patients are asked to confront the triggers of their convulsions in order to help desensitize them. For example, a person who compulsively cleans may be asked to stand in a filthy room and resist the urge to tidy up.
Anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants are most commonly prescribed for OCD. All of the following types of medications can help reduce anxiety, but do so in different ways and with different side effects and risks.
Consult your doctor if you believe you have any of the symptoms related to this disorder and discuss the benefits and risks of any medication or therapy.

Recommandations
In short, for bare metal embedded development, we highly recommend solutions that can be used on all major platforms (Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux), with hardware probes that implement the SWD protocol and possibly support tracing via the SWO pin.
The preferred probes that match the above requirements are the J-Link Debug Probes from SEGGER.
Debugging overview
Although it varies a lot depending on personal skills and experience, debugging can be one of the most time consuming activities during software development, and any solutions intended to address it are welcome.
Generally there are two approaches:
- manually stepping through the code to check the program flow and inspect various status variables
- letting the program run and automatically collect various tracing
messages (like the traditional
printf()
calls) and/or execution events (enter/exit interrupt handlers, memory location change, etc)
To be noted that these approaches are not exclusive, but complement each other, since they better serve different purposes, and have specific advantages and disadvantages.
Manual stepping
Manually stepping through the code is great for debugging a standalone linear piece of code, to check if the implementation of an algorithm is correct, to detect off-by-one errors (accessing past the size of an array or collection). It is also useful to get an initial understanding of the functionality of a piece of code written by someone else. Its main drawback is severely distorting the time behaviour of the debugged code, which, if the debugged device is interacting with other external devices, will most likely trigger timeouts. For complex code, with multiple iterations and multiple processes, it is quite tedious, requiring a lot of manual interactions with the debugger to reach the desired point in time, especially when the sessions are expected to be restarted often.
The manual stepping approach generally requires a generic debugger and a specific method to connect it to the application to be debugged. The GNU toolchains provide a standard GDB command line tool to interact with the debugged application, and Eclipse provides various plug-ins to integrate the command line tool into the IDE.
The recommended way to connect GDB, running on the development machine, to the application, running on an embedded device, is to use a GDB server. If the debugged application is a GNU/Linux Arm application, running on a SBC like BeagleBone or Raspberry, the GDB server must be first installed and started on it, then the GDB client needs to be instructed to connect via TCP/IP to it and start the debug session.
If the debugged application runs on a bare metal device, then it is necessary to use a physical probe, to load the device memory and to assist during the debugging session. The standard way is to use a JTAG or SWD probe, paired with a custom GDB server, able to talk to it on one side, and to accept the standard GDB commands on the other side.
Using trace messages
Collecting tracing messages and events, when used wisely, can be a
valuable source of information regarding the flow of a complex
application, with multiple interacting threads, being especially useful
when the debug sessions are restarted often. Once the trace messages are
added, the dynamic life of various threads/handlers can be seen with a
simple view of the trace log. In addition to classical printf()
messages
that need to be manually inserted in the code, for embedded applications,
modern Arm cores, including those in the Cortex-M families, provide special
support for collecting hardware events, like accurate timestamps when an
interrupt handler was entered/exited, when a memory location was accessed,
and more.
Recognising the importance of these methods, the designers of the Arm families added special support, like the SWO (Serial Wire Output) pin in Cortex-M microcontrollers, or even more elaborate interfaces for larger Arm processors.
GDB
The tool used by Eclipse Embedded CDT for debugging is the Arm version of GDB, the venerable GNU debugging tool.
No initialisation files
For having a total control of the debugging session, the debugging
plug-ins start the GDB client process with the --nx
option, which
prevents the execution of the commands found in any initialization
file; none of the standard files (system.gdbinit
, ~/.gdbinit
,
./.gdbinit
) are loaded.
To add more commands to the GDB initialisation sequence, use the Commands: field in the GDB Client Setup section:
All commands listed here are passed to the GDB client. By convention,
commands prefixed with mon
will be further passed by the GDB
client to the GDB server.

Before an Origami module can be used by a browser it must be built. You can build them yourself using the Origami Build Tools. If you don't want to do this yourself, you can use the Build Service. The Build Service takes Origami module identifiers and returns all of the minified compiled JavaScript and CSS required by browsers.
1. Add this snippet in your document to import the grid system and load the FT webfonts:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/build/v2/bundles/css?modules=o-grid<EMAIL_ADDRESS><script src="https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/build/v2/bundles/js?modules=o-grid<EMAIL_ADDRESS>async></script>
This is all you need for prototyping with the Build Service. To use the Build Service in production you should also include a cuts the mustard test.
2. Load more modules by adding them to the list:
?modules=o-grid@^4.0.0,o-fonts@^1.4.0,o-header<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The resource compiler operates on the endpoints starting with /v2/bundles
. It packages the requested modules (including all their
dependencies) using the standard Origami build
process, bundles and minifies the result and returns it as an HTTP response. Individual sub-endpoints
serve JS and CSS.
Examples of valid resource compilation requests:
/v2/bundles/js?modules={module}<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/v2/bundles/js?modules=o-ads@1.2,o-tracking<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/v2/bundles/css?modules=o-signinstatus@1.7.3,o-fonts,o-grid@3
You should most likely request all the JS modules you want in a single bundle request, and likewise for CSS, and
then write them into the <head>
or end of the <body>
of your HTML document:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/build/v2/bundles/css?modules=o-ft-nav@2.3,o-share@2,colors" />
<script src="https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/build/v2/bundles/js?modules=o-ft-nav@2.3,o-share@2,o-tracking<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/>
Where a resource compiler request results in multiple versions of the same module being included, the build service will generate an error page instead of the requested output. The error page includes information about which modules caused the dependency conflict, and which versions of the depended-upon module are in contention. For example:
Cannot complete build: conflicting dependencies exist.
o-colors:
- Required at version 1.7 by o-nav
- Required at version 1.9 by o-cookiewarn
o-typography:
- Required at version 2.7.4 in the URL
- Required at version ~3.2 by<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>- Required at version 4.* by<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Note that some dependencies are required by the explicit module list sent to the build server (referred to above as URL) while others are dependencies of those modules.
Dependency conflicts must be resolved by either the product developer requesting a different version of the modules that contain the conflicting dependencies, or by the module developer updating the modules to allow a broader range of versions of the dependency.
Bundle endpoints (beginning /v2/bundles/
) support shrinkwrapping
their output. If the module list in your bundle request omits any version numbers, uses semver ranges, or does
not include all the modules involved in the bundle (including all dependencies), then it's expected that the
content of the bundle URL will change over time, because new versions of modules may be released that
satisfy your request criteria.
If you are risk-averse and want to ensure that the content of the bundle URL is always the same, you can obtain a 'shrinkwrapped' version by inspecting the comment at the top of any bundle response. Eg:
/v2/bundles/css?modules=o-grid,o-header
At time of writing this produces content prefixed with:
/** Shrinkwrap URL:
* /v2/bundles/css?modules=o-grid%402.4.1%2Co-header%402.5.16&shrinkwrap=ftdomdelegate%402.0.3%2Co-assets%401.0.0%2Co-colors%402.4.7%2Co-dom%400.4.1%2Co-fonts%401.6.4%2Co-ft-icons%402.3.4%2Co-hierarchical-nav%401.1.3%2Co-hoverable%400.2.0%2Co-layers%401.0.0%2Co-squishy-list%401.1.0%2Co-useragent%402.2.0%2Co-viewport%401.0.0
*/
This locks down the precise versions of each constituent in the bundle to the version that currently best matches your request. You can then swap your original URL for the shrinkwrapped one to ensure that the returned content always remains unchanged:
The build service also offers the ability to request, over HTTP or HTTPS, any single file from any known module component. This is useful to make use of modules that provide static resources such as images, fonts, audio, video or other media, without having to install them.
The file proxy is also used by the build service itself when creating bundles of JS or CSS that load external
resources on demand. This allows CSS loaded through the build service /v2/bundles
endpoint to still load any included backgrounds, and
JavaScript modules may make AJAX requests to load static resources from their repos.
Requested bundles and files are generated on demand and then cached by the build service node that generated it (and also by the CDN). TTLs are set heuristically based on the mutability of the bundle content (ie if you use a fully shrinkwrapped URL, the TTL will be far longer). Build times can be significant (occasionally over a minute).
All bundle responses come with stale-while-revalidate
and stale-on-error
headers, which instructs CDNs to continue caching
stale bundles while they are regenerated, reducing the chance of a public web user being blocked on a
synchronous rebuild of a bundle which has expired in cache.
If you are loading build service URLs from the server side, you must fully respect cache control directives emitted by the build service.
The build service is highly available, and shared-nothing, so each node is responsible individually for caching its own copy of the built bundles.
The build service is capable of running more than one build at the same time, but will not concurrently run more
than one identical build. The second and subsequent requests for the same resource received while the first is
building will not cause a second build to be started, but will simply receive a 202
response (if async) or block waiting for the original build to
finish (if sync).
The current version of the API is 2. It has exactly the same API interface as v1, but uses Origami Build Tools for the builds. This uses libsass and is not 100% compatible with Ruby Sass, so we still make Ruby Sass builds available on the v1 endpoint. JavaScript bundles are built with OBT on both v1 and v2 endpoints.

minify |
Querystring | (Optional) If present and set to 'none', suppresses minification. Otherwise output will be minified automatically. |
polyfills |
Querystring |
(Optional) If present and set to 'none', does not add polyfills to the output. Use this if your bundle is conflicting with other polyfills (e.g. through the Polyfill Service). The polyfill mechanism is adding babel-runtime
to the bundle if required. This is not a complete polyfill as it does not modify existing
built-ins (reference) and as
such doesn't work on instance methods, e.g. |
brand |
Querystring | (Optional) The brand to build requested modules for. One of "master", "internal", or "whitelabel" |

Querystring | (Optional) The [bizops system code](https://biz-ops.in.ft.com/list/Systems) for the system which is making the build service request. |
export |
Querystring | (Optional) If present, generates a UMD bundle
for the supplied export name. UMD works with other module systems and if no module system is found
sets the specified name as a window global. If absent, the default export name Origami will be used. To export nothing, pass an empty
string. |
callback |
Querystring | (Optional) If present, calls the named javascript function on the window object once the
bundle is loaded, with the modules object as the first argument. The function name must match the
PCRE expression ^[\w\.]+$ or it will be ignored. |
newerthan |
Querystring | (Optional) If present and set to a valid ISO 8601 date in the past, the build service will not consider any cached copies of the build which are older than the date given, and if necessary will therefore begin a new build as if there were no build cached. |
autoinit |
Querystring | (Optional) If absent, or present and set to a truthy value, the bundle will include code to
dispatch the o.DOMContentLoaded and o.load events when their browser-native counterparts
occur. If set to 0 , no auto-initialisation code will
be included. |
Due to the expected long duration of the build process, this method may return a redirect to keep the connection alive while the build continues in the background.

All Build Service endpoints are versioned, and the current version is v2
.
When deprecating old versions of the API
we give at least three
months notice,
and will strive to notify all Build Service users.
Normally deprecated versions will be removed, and endpoints will start to respond with
a 410 Gone
status. We sometimes make an exception and redirect old
versions to their newer counterparts when the API is compatible.
| Version | Status | End Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
v2 |
Current | N/A | |
v1 |
Deprecated |
Requests to v1 endpoints will be redirected to
v2 with a 301 status, rather than being
removed. You're still encouraged to migrate to avoid the overhead
of redirects.

Deprecated |
Requests to unversioned endpoints will be redirected to v2
with a 301 status, rather than being removed. You're
still encouraged to migrate to avoid the overhead of redirects.
|
v1
to v2
The only potential breaking change in the v2
API is that we moved
Sass compilation from Ruby Sass to LibSass. The only endpoint affected by this
is /v2/bundles/css
.
Try replacing v1
with v2
in your requests. If you're
using very old versions of some modules, some of your styles may break. In this
case you'll need to update to newer versions of these modules.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
/v1/bundles/css?modules=… |
/v2/bundles/css?modules=… |
/v1/files/… |
/v2/files/… |
v2
Unversioned endpoints behave in exactly the same way as v1
. See
the
v1
to v2
migration docs
for information about breaking changes. To migrate, add v2
into
the
path before the endpoint:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
/bundles/css?modules=… |
/v2/bundles/css?modules=… |
/files/… |
/v2/files/… |
The Build Service is accessible using multiple different hostnames/paths. We only
recommend using www.ft.com/__origami/service/build
.
| Hostname | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
www.ft.com/__origami/service/build |
Current |
The hostname/path you should be accessing the Build Service through.
Responses are cached with Fastly, and we use the
stale-while-revalidate and stale-on-error
cache extensions. This hostname/path is also multi-region with failover.
|
origami-build.ft.com |
Deprecated |
Responses are cached with Fastly. This will start redirecting to
www.ft.com/__origami/service/build on

|
build.origami.ft.com |

www.ft.com/__origami/service/build on

origami-build-service-us.herokuapp.com |
Development | Responses are not cached. This hostname should never be used in production. |
origami-build-service-qa.herokuapp.com |
Development | This hostname points to a QA instance of the Build Service which has far fewer resources than production. Responses are not cached. This hostname should never be used in production. |
origami-buildservice-eu.herokuapp.com |
Deprecated | This URL no longer points to the Build Service. |
origami-buildservice-qa.herokuapp.com |
Deprecated | This URL no longer points to the Build Service. |
The Build Service is migrating from Akamai to Fastly and also to a path on the
ft.com domain. On we will
start redirecting traffic from the following hostnames to
www.ft.com/__origami/service/build
:
origami-build.ft.com
build.origami.ft.com
buildservice.ft.com
We strongly recommend that you update all references to these deprecated hostnames
to avoid redirects in your bundle and file requests. You will also get the
benefit of the stale-while-revalidate
and stale-on-error
cache extensions, as well as multi-region support with failover. These all
increase the resilience of the Build Service.
The redirects may have unexpected results if you access the Build Service through a proxy, and you may see multiple redirects if you're using both a deprecated hostname and API version.

Asynchronous initializer.
Returns a promise to call the specified polling function using the interval and timeout specified in the polling options.
Asynchronously constructs and initializes a new instance of a concrete subclass with the optional options
.
An options object providing initialization params to the async constructor.
This is a polling client that can be used to poll the status of long running tasks. It can be used as a replacement for Streaming when streaming topics are not available or when streaming handshakes are failing. Why wouldn't you want to use this? It can impact Salesforce API usage.
const options: PollingClient.Options = { async poll(): Promise<StatusResult> { return Promise.resolve({ completed: true, payload: 'Hello World' }); }, frequency: Duration.milliseconds(10), timeout: Duration.minutes(1) }; const client = await PollingClient.create(options); const pollResult = await client.subscribe(); console.log(`pollResult: ${pollResult}`);

GPU height field water simulations for Three.js flat planes
- Version:
- 1.0.2
- Source:
Examples
//How to setup a water sim:
//create a plane as the water
var WATER_SIZE = 10;
var WATER_RES = 256;
waterGeom = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(WATER_SIZE, WATER_SIZE, WATER_RES - 1, WATER_RES - 1);
waterGeom.applyMatrix(new THREE.Matrix4().makeRotationX(-Math.PI / 2));
waterMesh = new THREE.Mesh(waterGeom, null); //a custom material will automatically be assigned later
scene.add(waterMesh);
//create a GpuPipeModelWater instance (as an example)
var gpuWater = new SKUNAMI.GpuPipeModelWater({
renderer: renderer,
scene: scene,
mesh: waterMesh,
size: WATER_SIZE,
res: WATER_RES,
dampingFactor: 0.995,
multisteps: 1
});
//update every frame
renderer.clear();
gpuWater.update(dt); //have to do this after clear but before render
renderer.render(scene, camera);
//How to interact with the water:
//disturb (i.e. cause ripples on water surface)
var position = detectIntersection(); //do ray-intersection tests, for example, to determine where the user is clicking on the water plane
var waterDisturbAmount = 0.15;
var waterDisturbRadius = 0.25;
gpuWater.disturb(position, waterDisturbAmount, waterDisturbRadius);
//source (i.e. add water to simulation, only available for GpuPipeModelWater)
var waterSourceAmount = 0.2;
var waterSourceRadius = 0.7;
gpuWater.source(position, waterSourceAmount, waterSourceRadius);
//sink (i.e. remove water from simulation, only available for GpuPipeModelWater)
var waterSinkAmount = -0.5;
var waterSinkRadius = 0.7;
gpuWater.source(position, waterSinkAmount, waterSinkRadius);
//How to flood the scene over time:
var floodRate = 10; //cubic scene units per unit time
//add some volume every frame
var dV = floodRate * dt;
gpuWater.flood(dV);

Wild Things is a suspenseful thriller starring Matt Dillon, Denise Richards, and Neve Campbell that deals with all the issues; sex, love, murder, and betrayal. The setting of the film is a town named Blue Bay. It consists of many swamps and slums and, on the other hand, rich estates owned by the town's different benefactors. The film opens just before the beginning of a senior seminar at the town's ritzy, expensive high school. It is here that we meet all of the core characters. There's guidance counselor Sam Lombardo, police officers Ray Duquette and Gloria Perez, dark mysterious senior Suzie Toller, and the popular head cheerleader Kelly Van Ryan. We first see that all of the senior girls are smitten with the handsome guidance counselor, but none more than Kelly. Throughout the first portion of the film we see how far Kelly will go to get Sam until she accuses him of rape. Shortly after, Suzie, too, confesses that Sam raped her as well. This pushes Kelly's sex craving mother, Sandra, to stop at nothing until Sam is convicted. During the trial, Kelly gives a teary confession of how Sam raped her. However, it is later revealed by Suzie that Sam never raped either of the girls, it was all a vengeful plan against the guidance counselor. After Sam is cleared, Kelly's mother pays Sam a very substantial amount of cash in order for him not to sue her. It is then revealed that Sam, Kelly, and Suzie were all in on it together. It is here that the film starts to reveal just who is being honest with each other and who has their own hidden agenda. Matt Dillon stars as Sam Lombardo. Sam is the kind of guy that every woman would like to sink their claws into, and Sam obviously knows it and uses it to his own advantage. He isn't the obvious best of actors, but Dillon does give a convincing performance. However, his talents seem to be rendered useless near the end of the film, making it look as though his character has lost all of his ethics and principles, although he never had many to start out with in the first place. Neve Campbell, who most people relate to Scream and Scream 2, plays Blue Bay outcast Suzie Toller. Suzie obviously has some serious issues to deal with which are obvious from her first scene in the film. Campbell is very successful with this character, adding the slightest bit of charm to a seemingly repulsive character and making her fun to watch. Playing Kelly Van Ryan is Denise Richards.  One of the most interesting things about this film is how it compares and contrasts the relationship between Kelly and her mother. Denise Richards, still hot off the press from Starship Troopers, gives the most interesting performance in the entire film. In the beginning, Kelly looks to be a paper thin character, but Richards adds a little more spice and ultimately makes the character not only sexy, but dominating as well.
Kevin Bacon gives one of his fair performances as Ray Duquette. This character looks to be one of the most boring, predictable in the film. However, it is a relationship revealed between him and Suzie that adds depth to his story. Still, the film doesn't seem to gain much from Bacon's performance, only his name. In the supporting cast, Theresa Russell plays the much oversexed Sandra Van Ryan, Daphne Rubin-Vega gives an unappealing performance as cop Gloria Perez, and Bill Murray shines as Sam's Lawyer, Ken Bowden. Hats off to Murray for adding the perfect touch of comedy to the film. Although Wild Things was displayed by the press as being an erotic thriller, the eroticism, which is portrayed with good taste, is kept to a minimum and focuses more on the plot and the relationships between the characters. This is truly a very good film worth seeing if your looking for a movie with a thick plot filled with it's share of twists.

How OONI Works
OONI scans TCP, DNS, HTTP and TLS connections for tampering. Some tests work by requesting data over an unencrypted connection and comparing against a known good value. Others check for DNS spoofing, keyword filtering, transparent proxying and website block lists.
There are risks. Running a probe involves testing connections to websites that may be banned and using tools to attempt circumventing web censorship. It is not designed to protect the privacy of those running probes. Measurements are published and can include IP addresses or other identifying information.
