OUR WORKSHOPS
CONFERENCE KICK-OFF KEYNOTE
Going Backstage on Community Trends: Bug or Feature?
By Jenny Wong
Over the years, the PHP community has enjoyed an increase in events. This has given us more choice than ever over what we attend. At the same time, some of our favourite events have come to a close.
As the community recalibrates, needs have changed and events are repeatedly being challenged. Organisers are burdened with finding the solutions, but is there a way for us all to help?
With change comes an opportunity for growth. This is our chance to grow richer and stronger as a community.

To manipulate an input state we need to apply the basic operations of quantum computing. These are known as quantum gates. Here we'll give an introduction to some of the most fundamental gates in quantum computing. Most of those we'll be looking at act only on a single qubit. This means that their actions can be understood in terms of the Bloch sphere.
The Pauli operators
The simplest quantum gates are the Paulis: $X$, $Y$ and $Z$. Their action is to perform a half rotation of the Bloch sphere around the x, y and z axes. They therefore have effects similar to the classical NOT gate or bit-flip. Specifically, the action of the $X$ gate on the states $|0\rangle$ and $|1\rangle$ is
$$ X |0\rangle = |1\rangle,\\\\ X |1\rangle = |0\rangle. $$The $Z$ gate has a similar effect on the states $|+\rangle$ and $|-\rangle$:
$$ Z |+\rangle = |-\rangle, \\\\ Z |-\rangle = |+\rangle. $$These gates are implemented in Qiskit as follows (assuming a circuit named qc
).
qc.x(0) # x on qubit 0
qc.y(0) # y on qubit 0
qc.z(0) # z on qubit 0
The matrix representations of these gates have already been shown in a previous section.
$$ X= \begin{pmatrix} 0&1 \\\\ 1&0 \end{pmatrix}\\\\ Y= \begin{pmatrix} 0&-i \\\\ i&0 \end{pmatrix}\\\\ Z= \begin{pmatrix} 1&0 \\\\ 0&-1 \end{pmatrix} $$There, their job was to help us make calculations regarding measurements. But since these matrices are unitary, and therefore define a reversible quantum operation, this additional interpretation of them as gates is also possible.
Note that here we referred to these gates as $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ and x
, y
and z
, depending on whether we were talking about their matrix representation or the way they are written in Qiskit. Typically we will use the style of $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ when referring to gates in text or equations, and x
, y
and z
when writing Qiskit code.
Hadamard and S
The Hadamard gate is one that we've already used. It's a key component in performing an x measurement:
measure_x = QuantumCircuit(1,1)
measure_x.h(0);
measure_x.measure(0,0);
Like the Paulis, the Hadamard is also a half rotation of the Bloch sphere. The difference is that it rotates around an axis located halfway between x and z. This gives it the effect of rotating states that point along the z axis to those pointing along x, and vice versa.
$$ H |0\rangle = |+\rangle, \, \, \, \, H |1\rangle = |-\rangle,\\\\ H |+\rangle = |0\rangle, \, \, \, \, H |-\rangle = |1\rangle. $$This effect makes it an essential part of making x measurements, since the hardware behind quantum computing typically only allows the z measurement to be performed directly. By moving x basis information to the z basis, it allows an indirect measurement of x.
The property that $H |0\rangle = |+\rangle $ also makes the Hadamard our primary means of generating superposition states. Its matrix form is
$$ H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1&1 \\\\ 1&-1 \end{pmatrix}. $$The $S$ and $S^\dagger$ gates have a similar role to play in quantum computation.
qc.s(0) # s gate on qubit 0
qc.sdg(0) # s† on qubit 0
They are quarter turns of the Bloch sphere around the z axis, and so can be regarded as the two possible square roots of the $Z$ gate,
$$ S = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0 \\\\ 0&i \end{pmatrix}, \, \, \, \, S^\dagger = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0 \\\\ 0&-i \end{pmatrix}. $$The effect of these gates is to rotate between the states of the x and y bases.
$$ S |+\rangle = |\circlearrowright\rangle, \, \, \, \, S |-\rangle = |\circlearrowleft\rangle,\\\\ S^\dagger |\circlearrowright\rangle = |+\rangle, \, \, \, \, S^\dagger |\circlearrowleft\rangle = |-\rangle. $$They are therefore used as part of y measurements.
measure_y = QuantumCircuit(1,1)
measure_y.sdg(0)
measure_y.h(0)
measure_y.measure(0,0);
The $H$, $S$ and $S^\dagger$ gates, along with the Paulis, form the so-called 'Clifford group' for a single qubit, which will be discussed more in later sections. These gates are extremely useful for many tasks in making and manipulating superpositions, as well as facilitating different kinds of measurements. But to unlock the full potential of qubits, we need the next set of gates.
Other single-qubit gates
We've already seen the $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ gates, which are rotations around the x , y and z axes by a specific angle. More generally we can extend this concept to rotations by an arbitrary angle $\theta$. This gives us the gates $R_x(\theta)$, $R_y(\theta)$ and $R_z(\theta)$. The angle is expressed in radians, so the Pauli gates correspond to $\theta=\pi$ . Their square roots require half this angle, $\theta=\pm \pi/2$, and so on.
In Qasm, these rotations can be implemented with rx
, ry
, and rz
as follows.
qc.rx(theta,0) # rx rotation on qubit 0
qc.ry(theta,0) # ry rotation on qubit 0
qc.rz(theta,0) # rz rotation on qubit 0
Two specific examples of $R_z(\theta)$ have their own names: those for $\theta=\pm \pi/4$. These are the square roots of $S$, and are known as $T$ and $T^\dagger$.
qc.t(0) # t gate on qubit 0
qc.tdg(0) # t† on qubit 1
Their matrix form is
$$ T = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0 \\\\ 0&e^{i\pi/4}\end{pmatrix}, \, \, \, \, T^\dagger = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0 \\\\ 0&e^{-i\pi/4} \end{pmatrix}. $$All single-qubit operations are compiled down to gates known as $U_1$ , $U_2$ and $U_3$ before running on real IBM quantum hardware. For that reason they are sometimes called the physical gates. Let's have a more detailed look at them. The most general is
$$ U_3(\theta,\phi,\lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\theta/2) & -e^{i\lambda}\sin(\theta/2) \\\\ e^{i\phi}\sin(\theta/2) & e^{i\lambda+i\phi}\cos(\theta/2) \end{pmatrix}. $$This has the effect of rotating a qubit in the initial $|0\rangle$ state to one with an arbitrary superposition and relative phase:
$$ U_3|0\rangle = \cos(\theta/2)|0\rangle + \sin(\theta/2)e^{i\phi}|1\rangle. $$The $U_1$ gate is known as the phase gate and is essentially the same as $R_z(\lambda)$. Its relationship with $U_3$ and its matrix form are,
$$ U_1(\lambda) = U_3(0,0,\lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & e^{i\lambda} \end{pmatrix}. $$In IBM Q hardware, this gate is implemented as a frame change and takes zero time.
The second gate is $U_2$, and has the form
$$ U_2(\phi,\lambda) = U_3(\pi/2,\phi,\lambda) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -e^{i\lambda} \\\\ e^{i\phi} & e^{i\lambda+i\phi} \end{pmatrix}. $$From this gate, the Hadamard is done by $H= U_2(0,\pi)$. In IBM Q hardware, this is implemented by a pre- and post-frame change and an $X_{\pi/2}$ pulse.
Multiqubit gates
To create quantum algorithms that beat their classical counterparts, we need more than isolated qubits. We need ways for them to interact. This is done by multiqubit gates.
The most prominent multiqubit gates are the two-qubit CNOT and the three-qubit Toffoli. These have already been introduced in 'The atoms of computation'. They essentially perform reversible versions of the classical XOR and AND gates, respectively.
qc.cx(0,1) # CNOT controlled on qubit 0 with qubit 1 as target
qc.ccx(0,1,2) # Toffoli controlled on qubits 0 and 1 with qubit 2 as target
Note that the CNOT is referred to as cx
in Qiskit.
We can also interpret the CNOT as performing an $X$ on its target qubit, but only when its control qubit is in state $|1\rangle$, and doing nothing when the control is in state $|0\rangle$. With this interpretation in mind, we can similarly define gates that work in the same way, but instead peform a $Y$ or $Z$ on the target qubit depending on the $|0\rangle$ and $|1\rangle$ states of the control.
qc.cy(0,1) # controlled-Y, controlled on qubit 0 with qubit 1 as target
qc.cz(0,1) # controlled-Z, controlled on qubit 0 with qubit 1 as target
The Toffoli gate can be interpreted in a similar manner, except that it has a pair of control qubits. Only if both are in state $|1\rangle$ is the $X$ applied to the target.
Composite gates
When we combine gates, we make new gates. If we want to see the matrix representation of these, we can use the 'unitary simulator' of Qiskit.
For example, let's try something simple: a two qubit circuit with an x
applied to one and a z
to the other. Using tensor products, we can expect the result to be,
This is exactly what we find when we analyze the circuit with this tool.
# set up circuit (no measurements required)
qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.x(0) # qubits numbered from the right, so qubit 0 is the qubit on the right
qc.z(1) # and qubit 1 is on the left
# set up simulator that returns unitary matrix
backend = Aer.get_backend('unitary_simulator')
# run the circuit to get the matrix
gate = execute(qc,backend).result().get_unitary()
# now we use some fanciness to display it in latex
from IPython.display import display, Markdown, Latex
gate_latex = '\\begin{pmatrix}'
for line in gate:
for element in line:
gate_latex += str(element) + '&'
gate_latex = gate_latex[0:-1]
gate_latex += '\\\\'
gate_latex = gate_latex[0:-2]

Beigesoft™ Math projects overview.
Keywords: Python for science, NumPy, SciPy, Support vector machines.
This project never duplicate information from existing top level (that give you search engines) sources. It supplements existing projects (references them), explains things in an any degree over way, introduces new ones.
Английский как основной язык наук.
Английский язык давно уже стал интернациональным языком для наук. И все это несмотря на то что многие слова на Английском имеют несколько значений, причем неродственных, и даже противоположных, а научный доклад у них зовется довольно весело - paper. Отечественная медицина позаимствовала много терминов с Английского, например - сенсибилизация, локализованный, синус лифтинг... Ученые и инженеры переводят и публикуют свои работы с родного на Английский язык. Первая статья "Support vector machines" посвящена работе автором которой является Владимир Вапник. Русско-язычных существенных источников по данной работе не наблюдается. Поэтому нет смысла писать статьи на Русском, тем более что все ссылки на англоязычные источники.
Why Python (exactly NumPy, SciPy, etc.) seems to be the best math and science tool.
Many scientists and engineers chose Java because of its ability of publishing programs as WEB-applets. Java is faster and definitely more rigorous than Python, and it also allows to invoke C/C++ libs via JNI. But the most scientists and engineers have chosen Python. The reason probably is the ability to run commands in its shell. All scientist tools have a shell interpreter (Matlab, Octavia, Scilab, etc). But the truth is that many main units in SCI-Python libs are made with C (e.g. see on GitHub percent of C code in NymPy and SciPy). So, if you want to contribute, then you should use C for a code that requires a lot of computation, and you should use a good abstraction to make and use different implementations, i.e. from a generic one to architecture dependent ones (e.g. via SSE, GPU, etc.). Besides you should code Python in more type-explicit way, e.g. denote floats with a dot, i.e. use 1. instead of 1 in math expressions. You also should be aware about Python's things that make your life really not easy, for example:
#Python2: >>> 3 / 2 1 >>> 3. / 2. 1.5 >>> 3 // 2 1 >>> 3.0 // 2.0 1.0 #Python3: >>> 3 / 2 1.5 >>> 3. / 2. 1.5 >>> 3 // 2 1 >>> 3.0 // 2.0 1.0In this example, in contrast to Python2, Python3 acts in an ambiguous way, i.e. it treats 3 / 2 as floats instead of integers, so you must use exactly // for integers.
If you want (actually must) to make a tests suite, then you probably end up with "test.support is not a public module. It is documented here to help Python developers write tests...". In Java JUNIT makes all that you need. In Python it's not too clear which testing library is the choice. So, using ordinary BASH (git-bash available on MS Windows) seems to be a reliable testing/installing tool (similar to Make in C).
Python isn't type-safe at all. For example, you make an Array variable, then assign a scalar to it - Python never blame about it. In Java it will be an error. In C it will be a compiler's error or warning about assigning wrong pointer type. In addition in Java SpotBug and other tools detect many errors automatically. But pychecker and pylint seems to be useless for it, e.g.:
import numpy as np X = np.array([[.5, 1.2], [1., 1.], [3., 3.], [4., 3.3]]) print(X) X = 1 print(X)Python runs this program without any blame. Both pychecker and pylint will not blame about wrong type assigning. New Python 3.5 https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html designed for hinting only, i.e. there is no compiling errors, pylint3 is silent about wrong type assignment (but jupiter notebook on TAB makes an auto-completion without such "typing").
But for mathematicians that make final non-big programs (not libraries) those disadvantages matter nothing. But they appreciate a very good Python feature - Jupiter Notebook - i.e. ability to publish programs in WEB. In opposite to Java Applets, this is a server side technology, that automatically means:
- Servers are much more powerful than client's computers
- It's much more safe for clients, because a program runs remotely (of course except JavaScript).
Understanding Support Vector Machines.
This project is intended to understand, explain and try step by step SVM method. Read it to know:
- What is Hyperplane and its shifting?
- How to use this method by rotating normalized coefficient vector in growing margin direction (without finding Lagrange multipliers).
- How to recognize hand-written digits by using only NumPy.
Detecting spam in SMS unlabeled data.
This is about data mining (extracting information) from data without a classifying model (that trained on labeled train data). For example 5 messages:
"XXXMobileMovieClub: To use your credit, click the WAP link in the next txt message or click here>> http://wap. xxxmobilemovieclub.com?n=QJKGIGHJJGCBL" Oh k...i'm watching here:) Eh u remember how 2 spell his name...

But can Math do this? An ordinary expert system can do this job probably very well. But they say, that Math can retrieve information from source data that you can't notice neither at first look nor after a week of thoroughly study it. So, this is the first simplest data-set to start.
* Plots(graphs) are made by Matplotlib, and source code (Python) are included.

Serves 4
Meaty langoustine tails covered in a super-light and crispy batter with homemade tartare sauce.
For the tartare sauce, whisk the egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, sugar and salt in a bowl with a large metal whisk until well combined. Gradually add the oil, a few drops at a time, whisking until the mayonnaise is smooth and very thick.
Stir in the capers, gherkins, parsley, tarragon and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Cover the surface of the sauce with clingfilm and set aside for 20 minutes.
For the batter, mix the cornflour, plain flour and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and stir in two-thirds of the ale. Beat with a large metal whisk to make a smooth batter. Gently whisk in the remaining ale and the vinegar. Set aside.
Fill a deep-fat fryer or a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan two-thirds full with vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 190C/375F (use a probe thermometer to check the temperature if you're not using a deep-fat fryer). (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Don't leave unattended)
For the scampi, put four tablespoons of flour in a large, plastic food bag and season with salt. Add the scampi tails, one at a time, and shake to coat in the seasoned flour.
Stir the batter and then dip one piece of floured scampi into the batter until thoroughly coated. Remove with tongs and gently place it in the hot oil. Repeat the process with a further 3-4 pieces of scampi and add to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown and crisp.
Remove the scampi and drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm. Bring the oil back to temperature, and cook the remaining tails in 2-3 more batches.
Spoon the sauce into four small dishes – ramekins are good – and put on four warmed plates. Divide the scampi amongst them, add lemon wedges for squeezing and serve.


"Type sharing" pattern represents the most common execution scenario. According to this pattern the host application (host) and the script have some knowledge about each other. Such knowledge is expressed in ability to pass and handle run-time objects between the host and the script in one or both directions.
During script execution the host application compiles the script into assembly on fly, loads it and calls some public method(s) of the script. This is what distinguishes this execution pattern from "isolated execution" where static void Main() is always called.
The script engine class library (CSScriptLibrary.dll) provides two classes to assist with the script hosting:
CSScript - class for compiling scripts into assemblies
AsmHelper - class for simplifying assembly loading/unloading. This class also assists with calling the type methods and creating the type instances. The use of this class is entirely optional because the assembly produced by CSScript is just an ordinary assembly and can be handled in numerous ways (see Reflection in MSDN).
Implementation of the "type sharing" pattern can be as simple as two lines of code:
Array dataList= ...
Assembly script = CSScript.Load("scripts/comparer.cs", null, true);
IComparer customComparer = (IComparer) script.CreateInstance("DataComparer");
Array.Sort(dataList, customComparer);
or
AppData data = ...
AppDataEx newData;
AsmHelper script = new AsmHelper(CSScript.Load("scripts/datamap.cs"));
newData = (AppDataEx)script.Invoke("DataMapper.Remap", data);
But of course the complexity may vary depending on a particular development task.
The execution flow for "type sharing" scenario is not different to any other case when an external assembly is dynamically loaded and it's methods are called. The key difference is that such assembly is created on fly from the script file. That is why execution of script shares the same logical constrains as the execution of any dynamically loaded assemblies.
Such constrains are:
The types used in both loaded assembly and the client application have to be either:
"well-known" types (primitives or GAC types)
implemented in the assembly which is referenced in both the client application and the loaded assembly
Assembly loaded to the current application domain cannot be unloaded.
Loading to the different application domain can be used to make
it assembly unloading possible. However, extra care should be taken in
this case about types which are crossing the boundaries of application
domains.
Again, these constrains are not specific to the CS-Script but rather inherited from the nature of interaction between any dynamically loaded assemblies with the client application under CLR.
Passing "well-known" type between script and host
Information about script execution, which involves passing
objects of a primitive/GAC type between the script and the host
application.
Passing custom type between script and host
Information about script execution, which involves passing
objects of a custom type between the script and the host application.

Example 8.7.2.
To find the probability of not getting arrested in school in Missouri, we know that there are 915,033 total students, and we also know that only 1,487 were arrested. So we know that the rest of the students were not arrested. So, we can subtract the arrested students from the total students to find the not arrested students, which gives us 913,546 students that were not arrested. We then find the ratio of not arrested students to total students: 913,546/915,033=0.998375, or around 99.3875%.
We can also find this by using the fact that we know the probability of getting arrested. We start with the group of all students (1), and then we subtract out the group that represents getting arrested: 1 - 0.001625=0.998375, or 99.8375%.
We get the same mathematical answers from calculating the complement using either method. It is important to understand both methods because we have to think about the different types of information that we might have available. What is something that we notice in this scenario? Can a person be both arrested and not arrested at the same time? That leads us to our second special scenario.

By Matthew Bentley 7/05/2016
This document describes a pattern of memory expansion for data containers, namely doubly-linked chains of increasingly-large memory blocks with metadata attached to them, each of which doubles the number of elements capable of being stored within the container prior to it's instantiation (ie. a growth factor of 2).
This is a simple technique for allocating memory in a situation where the amount of memory needed is not known in advance, for example, for a dynamically-expanding data container such as a dynamic array or C++ vector. We can define a 'group' in this context as a struct containing both a memory block for storage as well as metadata necessary for utilizing the memory block. The metadata we store is both pointers to previous and next groups, and any other data necessary for the groups to be utilized by the container's iterators. This could include the number of elements able to be stored in the group, the number of elements currently stored in the group, the end element of the group, skipfields, and so on.
As mentioned above, the memory blocks in this pattern have a growth factor of 2, though this could be adjusted to preference. I will now illustrate this. To start with, you allocate a small block of memory of fixed size. As an example, let's hypothesize a C++ vector of 32-bit integers, using this memory pattern. We initialize the vector, and it creates a memory block large enough to hold 8 integers as it's initial memory block:
Memory block 1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Once that block is full (ie. the container has had enough objects inserted into it to fill up the available space), we allocate another memory block large enough to double the number of objects that can be held within the container. Continuing the vector example above, let's say we've now filled the initial 8 spaces available:
Memory block 1: 1 5 6 2 7 1 5 2
and now wish to add another number to the vector. At this point we must double the space available, which means we need to adding another memory block large enough to hold 8 integers:
Memory block 1: 1 5 6 2 7 1 5 2
Memory block 2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
and insert into it:
Memory block 1: 1 5 6 2 7 1 0 2
Memory block 2: 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Now we simply continue this pattern every time we run out of space. Continuing the vector example above, the next allocated memory block would be large enough to hold 16 integers:
Memory block 1: 1 5 6 2 7 1 5 2
Memory block 2: 4 3 1 3 4 1 6 4
Memory block 3: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
and the next memory block after that would be large enough to hold 32 integers, etcetera.
The most significant advantage of having a chain of separate memory blocks, over the reallocation of all elements to a single memory block (as is favoured by std::vector and many others), is the stability of pointers/iterators, which is unaffected by element insertion. No matter how many elements get added to a container using this pattern, adding elements never triggers pointer/iterator invalidation - which can be of great use for both modular and object-oriented programming architectures, as it decreases busywork/workarounds in terms of avoiding invalidation, and thus decreases development time.
By keeping metadata for each memory block attached to the memory block (in a 'group') rather than in some central repository of the container's, we reduce computational complexity if we decide to remove one of those memory blocks from the chain. In the case of a centralised repository and raw memory blocks, we would have to implement some sort of extensible container to keep track of the metadata and allow it to expand on-the-fly - a vector, list or deque of some description. By attaching the metadata to the memory block, we negate the need to have two separate storage/expansion mechanisms. In some cases, this will lead to performance gains, especially when new memory blocks are being created/erased in realtime.
Adding elements to a container using this chained-group pattern is typically much faster than adding to a container using a single memory block and reallocation due to the fact that no data needs to be reallocated upon expansion of the container. Freeing up unused memory also becomes a possibility, because when memory blocks become empty due to erasures, one can destruct the group and link the previous group and subsequent group to each other, thus removing the group from the chain as you would in a linked-list. In the case of a stack, you might remove trailing blocks from the chain once all their elements have been popped.
In terms of iteration over all container elements, an entirely-contiguous single memory block would result in a lower iteration duration compared to a chained list of gruops, due to the reduced complexity during this operation. For a chained-group pattern, a check for end-of-block is required for each +1 forward-iteration through the elements, just as a check for beginning-of-block is required for each -1 reverse-iteration. This proves to be less-detrimental than might be expected in actual benchmarks, due to CPU branch-prediction which only fails in the least-common case of end-block/beginning-block, but it still reduces iteration performance by comparison.
Utilizing a growth factor of 2 for the memory blocks aids in reducing this performance loss as the end-block/beginning-block cases become statistically-smaller. As mentioned earlier, the multiple-memory block approach allows a container to remove groups containing memory blocks which have become empty due to erasures, without affecting pointer stability for other non-erased memory blocks. But having a memory block expand too much could lead to situations where you have a very large memory block with only one or two non-erased elements, so it may be necessary to limit the maximum size of memory blocks in these scenarios.

By default, only the script home directory is searched (the directory containing the __main__ module). You can set pyglet.resource.path to a list of locations to search in order. This list is indexed, so after modifying it you will need to call pyglet.resource.reindex.
Each item in the path list is either a path relative to the script home, or the name of a Python module preceded with an ampersand (@). For example, if you would like to package all your resources in a res directory:
pyglet.resource.path = ['res']
pyglet.resource.reindex()
Items on the path are not searched recursively, so if your resource directory itself has subdirectories, these need to be specified explicitly:
pyglet.resource.path = ['res', 'res/images', 'res/sounds', 'res/fonts'] pyglet.resource.reindex()
Specifying module names makes it easy to group code with its resources. The following example uses the directory containing the hypothetical gui.skins.default for resources:
pyglet.resource.path =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'.'] pyglet.resource.reindex()


Call
public class Call
A Call is the representation of an audio or video call between two WebRTC Clients, SIP clients or phone numbers. The call object is created whenever a new call is initiated, either by you or the remote caller. You can access and act upon calls initiated by a remote caller by registering to TxClientDelegate of the TxClient
Examples:
Create a call:
// Create a client instance
self.telnyxClient = TxClient()
// Asign the delegate to get SDK events
self.telnyxClient?.delegate = self
// Connect the client (Check TxClient class for more info)
self.telnyxClient?.connect(....)
// Create the call and start calling
self.currentCall = try self.telnyxClient?.newCall(callerName: "Caller name",
callerNumber: "155531234567",
// Destination is required and can be a phone number or SIP URI
destinationNumber: "18004377950",
callId: UUID.init())
Answer an incoming call:
//Init your client
func initTelnyxClient() {
//
self.telnyxClient = TxClient()
// Asign the delegate to get SDK events
self.telnyxClient?.delegate = self
// Connect the client (Check TxClient class for more info)
self.telnyxClient?.connect(....)
}
extension ViewController: TxClientDelegate {
//....
func onIncomingCall(call: Call) {
//We are automatically answering any incoming call as an example, but
//maybe you want to store a reference of the call, and answer the call after a button press.
self.myCall = call.answer()
}
}

How do the zoom groups work again?
These are entirely optional. If you want to hang out virtually with other people from your selected group but don't intend to physically meet, we'll host the room, and put you into breakout rooms as you join. Sorry we won't be able to hop across all the rooms! But we hope this option makes it more fun watching the live stream together (:
We will be sharing the zoom meeting link (which is different from the youtube stream link) via email closer to the wedding (so do sign up with your real email!)
I want to get you guys a present, what do you want? (I won't take no for answer!)
We are so incredibly fortunate to have friends ask this question! Thank you! We've come up with a list of things that are both useful and will spark joy in our lives! Go ahead and have a look at our wishlist, but please write your names down in there so no item is overbought.
Click here for wishlist
How do I join the live stream?
All you need is an internet connection and access to Youtube.
Click here for the event link.
We'll also send it out via email (so do sign up with your real email!)
How will photo-taking be done?
Ok so we really need your help to do this otherwise we won't have any wedding photos with you :O During the photo-taking segment, we the couple will smile at the camera for an awkward and still 60 seconds for virtual phototaking.
For folks in the breakout rooms, this is when you share the screen of our live stream and take a screenshot with the people in your room.
For other folks who are physically gathered, you can huddle around the screen and take a photo of yourselves with us!
And if you're on your own, do take a selfie with your laptop!
Once done, please send us the photos on Telegram, or email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Spare no pixel when it comes to resolution! Thanks!
How long is the event?
It'll be an hour long, we think.
How did you manage to narrow down the 50 guests? Was it difficult?
It was a series of extremely painful decisions, please don't ask again :(
I know the venue. What if I show up in person anyway?
We honestly don't know how we'll react.
Bry loves music so much.. do the two of you make music together?
Yeap. Rach can play the ukulele, and we can play 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' with a reasonable number of mistakes. We can also play Hillsong's 'What A Beautiful Name' on the piano together.
I see all those fairy lights in your photos and I like them. Can I have them?
Yep! The lights (started with 150m) have been lent to over 7 different friends and something like 70% of the lights still work just fine. We're definitely happy to lend them to our friends, especially for proposals!
Are these really 'frequently' asked questions...?
You'd be suprised, they actually are!

For basic tables see Tables
Bootstrap has a .table-responsive
class which you can use to add horizontal scrollbars on small devices.
I've also included Basictable plugin which adds responsiveness to tables differently. An example is shown on "Basic Tables" page
DataTables is a plugin for dynamic and responsive tables with features such as sorting, pagination, etc.
You should include datatables.net-bs4/css/dataTables.bootstrap4.css
and datatables.net-buttons-bs4/css/buttons.bootstrap4.css
before ace.css
when using it.
Also some styling is done using options passed during initializiation or dynamically.
See<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for more info.
Other styling is inside plugins/datatables.scss
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>datatables.net-responsive/js/dataTables.responsive.js
plugin.It moves extra columns to another row which can be toggled (shown/hidden) using the caret.
You can change the caret to a plus/minus icon by adding
.dtr-plus
to the table
element:Bootstrap Table is another plugin for dynamic tables.
You should include bootstrap-table/dist/bootstrap-table.css
before ace.css
when using it.
Some styling is done using options passed during initializiation or dynamically.
Take a look at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for more info.
Other styling is inside plugins/bootstraptable.scss
Instead I chagned the caret after the table is initialized:
// change caret of "X" rows per page button ...
$('.fixed-table-pagination .caret').addClass('fa fa-caret-down')
$_bsTable.on('page-change.bs.table', function() {
$('.fixed-table-pagination .caret').addClass('fa fa-caret-down')
})
A free version of jqGrid plugin is included as well.
You should include free-jqgrid/css/ui.jqgrid.css
before ace.css
when using it.
To customize the look and feel of jqGrid please see the example at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For example you can change $.jgrid.guiStyles
to add custom classes and $.jgrid.icons
for custom icons or when initializing navGrid
Other styling is inside plugins/jqgrid.scss

General Information
Blue Isbars are a breed developed in the 50-60’s by a monk by the name of Martin Silverudd. He wasn’t able to complete auto sexing of this color, as planned, before he died. But even without the auto sexing, this breed developed into a good and beautiful layer. Greenfire Farm imported them in 2011 from Sweden.
Greenfire Farms first imports were reported to have immune issues, so a second group of blue Isbars was import to rectify the problem. It seems to have been quite helpful in enlarging the small gene pool. Breeders are working to keep the breed hardy and at this point, the problem is diminishing. This has been a set back to the breed, but breeders are finding Isbars are worth the effort.
Blue Isbars are a beautiful, large fowl, created by crossing Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshires, and cream Legbars. They are in the range of 5-7 pounds and come in black, blue and splash. The roosters often have a beautiful iridescent “leakage” of color in their hackles, bows, and saddle. Hens can lay upward of 200 green eggs yearly. They are the only known breed that has a single comb and lays a green egg. The color can vary from a light green to a darker, mossy, and sometimes almost a coppery green. They can darken as the hen ages as well as vary in shade from one day to the next. Some eggs even have speckles. They are medium to large in size. Hens can go broody but not exceedingly so that it’s annoying. They do well in both cold and hot weather, generally laying through all seasons, and some times through molt.
The chicks are usually quite friendly, and personally, one of the friendliest, although some report they can be skittish. Adults are calm and friendly to be around. The birds love to forage right from the start and are thrifty, easy keepers. Some breeders are proclaiming this is their favorite breed of all the breeds they raise. Indeed, they are deserving of such praise.

The Big Kahuna
rated R 90 minutes Lions Gate Films starring Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Peter Facinelli written by Roger Rueff from his play directed by John Swanbeck
A Review by Frankie Paiva
Plays that become movies usually have a different feel than normal pictures. Few rise above the play on film point, and most often those who see it onstage like it the best. The strange Parker Posey comedy The House of Yes comes to mind when thinking of the unsatisfactory play to film movie cooked up by several independent studios. The Big Kahuna is the same in lots of ways. It takes away any chance for visual originality and instead puts the movie on the shoulders of the actors. Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Peter Facinelli brilliantly play the main characters. Add Roger Rueff’s smart adaptation of his play to the mixture. The result is a comedy turned drama that asks serious questions and forces the audience to think. It never dips below the satisfactory mark.
Larry (Kevin Spacey), Phil (Danny DeVito), and Bob (Peter Facinelli) represent an industrial lubricant sales company. They are attending a convention in a Kansas hotel. Larry is an individual who is not afraid to be frank when talking to people. He often voices his opinion loudly and says what’s on his mind. Phil is an alcoholic who is starting to lose interest in the lubricant business. He is Larry’s best friend and acts in a middle child way. He rarely participates in Larry’s oral sparring matches and tries to promote peace with himself and others. Bob is a young, devout Baptist whose religious and traditional ways clash with Larry’s beliefs. All three are hoping to catch the grand kahuna. A deal with a company so big, it would put their tiny business on the map. As the search for the kahuna goes on, the characters begin to search inside themselves for answers to their confusion about life, mortality, and the heavens.
It may take place almost entirely in a hospitality suite, but The Big Kahuna is never boring or familiar. Things are constantly changing for the trio and the script moves around as well. What starts as a wickedly sharp comedy ends as a solemn and meaningful drama. There is not as much tension as the recent one room drama Deterrence, and in the end that is a better thing. The film always moves along in a relaxed and comfortable way. Kevin Spacey is marvelous as fast-talking Larry. His performance reminds one that he is not only a great leading man, but a creative character actor as well. Danny DeVito makes a wonderful recovery from Drowning Mona and Screwed. His redemption here gives hope for his next movies. Peter Facinelli is excellent as well. While he has been bad in bad movies (like Can’t Hardly Wait or Supernova) he shows the excellent promise here that he exhibited in Dancer, Texas Pop. 81. When the actors work together, they create a fantastic chemistry unseen in recent movies.
The questions asked and advice given from character to character is unparalleled. Among the subjects examined are life, death, fidelity, and God. Everything has such an air of truth to it. A character will handle and often defend their position when met with a judgement of himself in a real way. Nothing ever feels fake, and the depth that’s reached is astonishing.
This is a verbal movie of conflicting views. Despite being a tad slow near its end, it is always interesting and perfectly fits its short running time. The acting is superb, and the script well written. The Big Kahuna should be a pleasing surprise for adults. It has the rare qualities of being smart, poignant, and reality based. This is a true wonder indeed.

Eurovision - Hamster Days Blog
14-May-2017 | Milku
Never give up on you Eurovision...the UK might win again...eventually.
I'm glad it's now National Deaf Awareness Week. I think I might need some help after listening to the Eurovision Song Contest for hours last night...at far too high a volume I might add!
The Eurovision 2017 winner was good, but I much preferred some of the other songs. I'm wondering whether there wasn't some divine intervention in the result. Come on, think about it. Portugal have never won Eurovision before yet on the day Pope Francis canonized two of the Portuguese children who saw the visions at Fatima Portugal's Eurovision fortunes suddenly change.
Anyway, it was nice to see some animals performing at Eurovision this year...what do you mean they weren't real?

[gecode-users] Space entailment

Hi,
well, yes and no. The difference between succeeded(entailed) and
succeeded(stuck) is easy to find: just check the number of propagators left.
The other one does not work: if you post a new propagator it might find out
that it is entailed and disappear. However, it might also propagate and some
other propagator becomes entailed. So you don't know whether the newly
posted propagator is actually entailed.
Maybe you tell us what you want to do exactly?

Subject: [gecode-users] Space entailment
Hi all,
I was wondering about the representation of the entailment relation in
gecode. Suppose you have a space with variables and constraints. How can i
verify if an extra constraint is already entailed by the store (space)?. In
the mozart terminology this is the difference between a
succeeded(entailed) and a succeeded(stuck) space. Of course, here we will
not take threads into account since threads does not exist in gecode.
At implementation level, if the relation implemented by a propagator to be
posted in the space is already represented in terms of variables domains,
the propagator is not posted at all. Then counting how many propagators are
in the space before the posting of the new one and comparing it to the
number of propagators after posting it, is enough to verify that property.
Do you agree??
Cheers,
--
Gustavo Gutierrez

Welcome to my website! Take a look around. There's a lot of really cool stuff here!
A little bit about me: I'm years old, born and raised in San Diego, California. I enjoy programming especially in a web dev environment with a focus on UI and UX. I am proficient in a myriad of languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, AngularJS, and Bootstrap.
At the moment, I am working on getting my Bachelors in Computer Science from UCSD. I am approximately two quarters away from graduation with an expected time frame of March 2017. In terms of education, my plans for the future include a Masters in Cognitive Science with a focus on Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
From a personal experience standpoint, I'm looking to gain more experience in the web dev field. I want to eventually become proficient with more backend technologies such as AngularJS 2.0, MongoDB and NodeJS.
Past Projects
Technologies: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, AngularJS, Parse, Git
This website, brought to you by Team HIPSTER (Humans in Programming, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Research), is the future of scheduling. It combines social media and a calendar to make scheduling group events a breeze!.
Technologies: Linux, Raspbian, Apache 2.2.22
This web server hosts all of my projects and allows them to be accessible from any computer. It has it's own static IP address, emailing capability, and can access an SQL server.
Technologies: JavaScript, GameMaker
Spudnik is a classic first person shooter with a twist...it's neither first person nor shooter!  "Expect a roller coaster of emotions..." said Lead Game Designer, Vlad Klimkiv.
Senior Sound Engineer, Mikey Cho was reported to have said "...I would give it 6 stars out of 5...", but he was talking about the music in the background - which he made.
Meanwhile, Director of Level Design, Saveen Chadalawada, stated "Lots of blood, sweat, and tears... well, mostly tears...actually, all of it was tears...went into this project."
Spudnik tells the story of Spudnik, a brave potato astronaut lost in space in search of his home. Avoid the perils of space and get to the wormholes using the tools given in each level and get Spudnik home!
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, Python
FoodTime, created during a 12 hour hackathon, is a website dedicated to making the lives of UCSD students easier. This project displays all the food items located in each of the dining halls in a quick and user friendly format.
FoodTime uses JSON to read the official menus on the UCSD Dining website. It creates a side bar menu using each item listed and dynamically changes each day.
Unfortunately, the project is not finished. The plan is to make the full menu be stored in cache so that one look at the beginning of the day is all that is needed to be informed of the food options around campus. And subsequent looks can be made offline. We also want to provide pictures, description, nutritional facts, and helpful reviews by other students for each item. To do this, we plan to use SQL to create a database
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
The Matrix animation is another one of my more favorite programs that I have written. This is because I had this idea for a couple of days. After thinking about the process that it would take, I wrote a generic version that wasn't nearly as visually appeasing.
I did some research and patched up the code and eventually got the final product. It amazes me how in the span of one week, I went from an idea to a finished product that I could dynamically change to my liking.
Technologies: Visual Basic, SQL, Visual Studio
The Food Ave. application was my first project. I created this after my first programming class in community college. It replicated the GUI that I used while working at Target.
This project uses SQL to read one table in a Microsoft Access file to login to the system, and reads another table to display the selected items and prices in a list view. You can also add new users to be able to login, void single items from the list, void all the items from the list, and even input valid coupons which is accomplished by reading another table.
This is by far my most favorite project because it opened my eyes to the world of programming. By creating this, I wanted to learn more and add more to the user experience.
Planned Projects
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Socket.io
Beep is a parking aid app designed for UCSD students. I thought of the idea while struggling to find parking before my classes.
While taking COGS 187a, my team and I were able to make mockups, and research need finding and personas in potential users. We recorded the journey using Medium. Through the class, we got multiple professors hooked on our idea and they encouraged us to fully develop the app after the class was over.
The plan is to fully implement the app within the next year :D
Technologies: Raspberry Pi, Two-Way Mirror, HTML, CSS
One of the projects I've been interested in for a long time is the magic mirror. They way this works is that a two-way mirror is positioned above a monitor with a black screen and custom white text. Since a two-way mirror is used, when there is black behind it, the mirror is just a normal mirror. With light behind it (our side), it becomes transparent like glass.
Unfortunately, all the individual pieces that make up the magic mirror cost a lot of money so this project has been in the backlogs for a while :'(. But hopefully, I can work on it after graduating.
Technologies: MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS
With Parse ending it's services in January 2017, one of the projects I wanted to work on over the summer was to convert Busy Block's backend from using Parse's database services to Mongo's database services.
Along with that, our front end was exclusively written in AngularJS, and i would like to upgrade it to using a MEAN stack architecture to make it easier to maintain and add functionality to.

Last November, I did my own private PragProWriMo, writing every day that month to produce a non-fiction technology book:
And that's IT! 671 words today for a total of 46,611 words. Now what?
The Senior Software Engineer is a 200-page e-book on everything a developer needs to know to be a truly senior engineer…except for how program.
The book’s subtitle is “A Guide for Making the Most of Your Career” and that’s exactly what it is. I realized over the past few years that the best and most successful developers I’ve come across aren’t just good at writing code. They can communicate effectively with others. They can launch a greenfield project without incident. They can write documentation. They can lead others without becoming managers who have to give up coding.
In short, these developers prioritize the delivery of results above all else. They often (though not always) use software to deliver those results.
This is the subject of the book. It’s designed to get you thinking about the big picture, of which computer programs are only a small part. It’s a roadmap for advancing in your career without giving up writing code.
It’s also prescriptive. You’ll learn how to give a code review as well as receive one. You’ll learn how to keep organized while implementing complex features. You’ll learn how to create a convincing technical argument by understanding others’ priorities. You’ll learn how to interview potential team members, and then lead them to successful product delivery. Check out the website, where you’ll find a full table of contents as well as some excerpts.
The lessons in this book have taken me a long time to learn, and I still struggle every day with many of them. My hope is that if we all start thinking about this stuff earlier in our careers (at least as much as we think about the next great language or framework) we can do better work and make software better.
It’s available now for $25, in PDF, EPUB, MOBI, and Markdown. I hope you enjoy it.

Cluster is an easy map annotation clustering library. This repository uses an efficient method (QuadTree) to aggregate pins into a cluster.
If you want to try it, simply run:
$ pod try Cluster
Features
- [x] Adding/Removing Annotations
- [x] Clustering Annotations
- [x] Multiple Managers
- [x] Dynamic Cluster Disabling
- [x] Custom Cell Size
- [x] Custom Annotation Views
- [x] Animation Support
- [x] Documentation
Requirements
- iOS 8.0+
- Xcode 9.0+
- Swift 4 (Cluster 2.x), Swift 3 (Cluster 1.x)
Usage
Follow the instructions below:
Step 1: Initialize a ClusterManager object
let clusterManager = ClusterManager()
Step 2: Add annotations
let annotation = Annotation()
annotation.coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
annotation.style = .color(color, radius: 25) // .image(UIImage(named: "pin"))
clusterManager.add(annotation)
Step 3: Return the pins and clusters
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
var view = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: identifier)
if view == nil {
view = ClusterAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: identifier, style: style)
} else {
view?.annotation = annotation
}
return view
}
Step 4: Reload the annotations
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, regionDidChangeAnimated animated: Bool) {
clusterManager.reload(mapView) { finished in
// handle completion
}
}
Customization
The ClusterManager
exposes several properties to customize clustering:
var cellSize: Double? // The size of each cell on the grid (The larger the size, the better the performance).
var zoomLevel: Double // The current zoom level of the visible map region.
var maxZoomLevel: Double // The maximum zoom level before disabling clustering.
var minCountForClustering: Int // The minimum number of annotations for a cluster. The default is `2`.
var shouldRemoveInvisibleAnnotations: Bool // Whether to remove invisible annotations. The default is `true`.
var shouldDistributeAnnotationsOnSameCoordinate: Bool // Whether to arrange annotations in a circle if they have the same coordinate. The default is `true`.
var clusterPosition: ClusterPosition // The position of the cluster annotation. The default is `.nearCenter`.
Annotations
The Annotation
class exposes a style
property that allows you to customize the appearance.
var style: ClusterAnnotationStyle // The style of the cluster annotation view.
You can further customize the annotations by subclassing ClusterAnnotationView
and overriding configure
:
override func configure() {
super.configure()
// customize
}
Removing Annotations
To remove annotations, you can call remove(_ annotation: MKAnnotation)
. However the annotations will still display until you call reload()
.
In the case that shouldRemoveInvisibleAnnotations
is set to false
, annotations that have been removed may still appear on map until calling reload()
on visible region.
