CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION explained
NAME
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION - set callback for writing received data
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> size_t write_callback(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data received that needs to be saved. ptr points to the delivered data, and the size of that data is nmemb; size is always 1.
The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes, but you must not make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be thousands. The maximum amount of body data that will be passed to the write callback is defined in the curl.h header file: CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE (the usual default is 16K). If CURLOPT_HEADER is enabled, which makes header data get passed to the write callback, you can get up to CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER bytes of header data passed into it. This usually means 100K.
This function may be called with zero bytes data if the transferred file is empty.
The data passed to this function will not be zero terminated!
Set the userdata argument with the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA option.
Your callback should return the number of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to your callback function, it'll signal an error condition to the library. This will cause the transfer to get aborted and the libcurl function used will return CURLE_WRITE_ERROR.
If your callback function returns CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE it will cause this transfer to become paused. See curl_easy_pause for further details.
Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function used instead of your callback. The internal default function will write the data to the FILE * given with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA.
DEFAULT
libcurl will use 'fwrite' as a callback by default.
PROTOCOLS
AVAILABILITY
Support for the CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE return code was added in version 7.18.0.
RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.
EXAMPLE
A common technique is to use this callback to store the incoming data into a dynamically growing allocated buffer. Like in the getinmemory example: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html

Let $\G$ be a connected reductive group over a finite extension
$F$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $\P = \M \N$ be a Levi decomposition of
a maximal parabolic subgroup of $\G$, and $\sigma$ an irreducible unitary
supercuspidal representation of $\M(F)$. One can then consider the
representation $\text{Ind}_{\P(F)}^{\G(F)} \sigma$ (normalized parabolic
induction). This induced representation is known to be either irreducible
or of length two. The question of when it is irreducible turns out to be
(conjecturally) related to local $L$-functions, and also to poles of
a family of so called intertwining operators.
This calls for:
(a) computing residues of certain families of intertwining operators;
and
(b) interpreting these residues suitably.
There is an approach pioneered by Freydoon Shahidi to implement such a
programme, which was developed further by him as well as by David
Goldberg, Steven Spallone, Wen-Wei Li and Xiaoxiang Yu,
in several cases (i.e., for various choices of $\G$ and $\P$). We will
discuss (b) above for some of the cases where only (a) was known
previously, and also (a) for some new cases.

Motivation:
The new IT socio-economic ecosystem is based on the advancement of information technologies that enabled real time connection between different peers(households & investors), firms(investors & advertisers), governments(financial regulation and supervision) to trade their socio-economic assets(creations, products and services) using Internet capabilities, i.e. this information technology is used to match directly buyer peers and seller peers that are forming a network on an on-line platform.
Known IT socio-economic ecosystem sites are Youtube for online creator videos, and online marketplace lending, such as Lending Club, in the financial services sector.
On-line contractual arrangements are created to mitigated the existing conflicts of interests between the on-line platform and its peers. New form of contracts are designed specifically for this IT socio-economic ecosystem platform to foster incentives for the contracting parties to exploit the anticipated gains from their on line collaborations.
- A creator can become part of YouTube’s Partner Program which is the adequate way to make money on YouTube. The Partner Program has many benefits, the most important for the creator is monetization.
- Or a creator can become part of a Multi-Channel Networks (“MCNs”) which are third-party service providers that affiliate with multiple YouTube channels to offer services that may include audience development, content programming, creator collaborations, digital rights management and to leverage the monetization.
- Both ways are presenting advantage of higher quality video, branded channel options, and insight analytics to help creator learn about their audience and increase or leverage their viewer-ship for an adequate monetization.
- The creator's anticipated gains from any contract is to have substantial views and more opportunities for continuously monetization.
- Online Marketplace Lending platform is a kind of IT socio-economic ecosystem that facilitates the direct matching of borrowers to lenders(investors) through online loan auctions.
- The online marketplace lending are designing credit contracts that are not necessary combining the
sharing of risk and efficient decision aimed at protecting the lender and encouraging sound decisions by borrowers as the loans are unsecured.
Platform's Performance Modeling
In spite of the fact that; the economic activity takes place "continuously" in an IT socio-economic ecosystem platform.
A peer populating the online platform is only socially or economically connected to the platform during a consecutive finite number of periods and are not necessarily regularly connected.
Globally, the peers populating the online platform are forming an overlapping or staggered network. Staggered implies any portion of the peers with similar social or economical characteristic to interact with the platform.
My main motivation, this property of staggered connexions is a central feature in mathematical modeling of online platform performance dynamics. My theoretical mathematical formulations and statistical analysis approaches to this micro-interaction foundations are proved essential to build a macroscopic scales to estimate the online platform performance dynamics.
Numerics & Analytics of IT socio-economic ecosystem platform
The data type used for the result of a calculation depends on the type of the IT socio-economic ecosystem platform, its business model and the associated operations performed on the online platform.

The renderer doesn’t take into account which the triangle is closer to the camera and renders the triangle on top of the previous one [1]
For rasterization we are using \(x\) and \(y\) only. Let’s store \(z\) coordinate of pixel to separated buffer. This buffer is called depth buffer (or z-buffer) [2]
bool DepthTest(unsigned short x, unsigned short y, float z)
{
return z < depth_buffer(x, y)]; //Depends on Z-axis directions
}
void SetPixel(unsigned short x, unsigned short y, float z,)

| Toolbox | Version |
Added treeFindLeaves.
Moved treeFindParents, treeFindChildren and treeSwapNode into this toolbox from MOCAP toolbox.
Moved lnCumGaussSum from NCNM toolbox to this toolbox as part of merge of NCNM toolbox into NOISE and IVM toolboxes.
Added code for checking Hessian matrices.
Added comments to files and changed jitChol, pdinv and logdet so that they can return any jitter added. If the return the jitter then they don't emit a warning.
There was a sign error in lnDiffCumGaussian. This has been fixed. The sign error was replicated in the NOISE and PRIOR toolboxes (a case of two wrongs making a 'right'). This means that earlier versions of this toolbox are incompatible with versions of PRIOR before 0.131 and versions of NOISE before 0.131.
Sped up the sparseDiag command using spdiag, this makes the FGPLVM code run much faster.
Fixed inconsistencies in logdet and pdinv and corrected the amount of jitter that is added at first try. Placed the jitter addition in a new file jitChol which is called by both functions.
Added kldivGaussian for computing Gaussian Kullback-Leibler divergences.
Added deg2rad for converting degrees to radians.
Added sparseDiag and moved data loading methods into the new DATASETS toolbox.
Moved in lvmLoadData and mappingLoadData as generic methods of loading in data sets.
Added files getline.m and tokenise.m which are string utilities for reading and processing files.
pdinv now adds jitter which is proportional to the mean of the diagonal elements of the matrix.


Could someone confirm if Improved Stunning Fist(ISF) feat selection is broken?
I am trying a build where it qualified for ISF at level 21. At level 21, all classes can select ISF. After that even on the normal feat levels only monk or fighter can select it. AFAIK this should be the case for the bonus feats but not the normal feat selection.
Also Kamiryn's CBC doesn't allow it to be selected at all for non monk/fighter classes.
Thanks if you can confirm either way.
What happens is that if you met the pre-requisites via taking Monk levels, only Monk can take them... I've only tried with CoT's bonus feats and Monk's...
However, if you took Improved Unarmed Attack feat and Stunning Fist without Monk levels you should be able to take ISF without monk... I've never really tried to do so, I'm not completely sure.
Why do you want ISF on a non-monk build? it's a lot easier to be a shifter monk for stunning fists. _________________
Quote: Posted 12/19/06 19:54 (GMT) -- FinneousPJ
Thax the Shadow Dragon sez: MONKS USE KAMAS. Just ask him.
Yes, I haven't used any monk levels.
Weird that it works correctly for the first ISF feat but not after that.
Was working on a variation of grizzled_dwarflord's Shadowboxer build. Click Here
Have recently seen mentioned the use of druid or shifter which looks good and will probably try next.

| 22/08/2002 14:08:10 | changed install routine | the install program had XP specific files in it and this overwrote system files on the client system. The install routine has been completely changed so that all the files are clean, MDAC and JET are not installed, the system checks for them and if not installed prompts the user to go off and download them. This has been tested using virtual PC on win98, win98SE, winNT4SP3, winNT4SP4  |

| 208 | entity create needs saved twice | 30/05/2002 16:24:02 | 16/08/2002 09:47:02 | when creating an entity, and saving it. the save is made but the form brings up the save button once again. the second save commits and does not ask for another save this is a sporadic problem and may be due to an oversensitive keyboard setting on the laptop?  |
this has not been repeatable  |
| 379 | list select does not reflect on tree select | 16/08/2002 22:26:29 | 29/08/2002 09:45:40 | selecting an item in the list pane should really select the same item in the tree pane as selecting an item in the tree selects the item in the list   |

it does this now  |
| 380 | clicking on closed date tab on a defect makes it dirty | 16/08/2002 09:45:40 | 29/08/2002 09:45:40 | clicking on closed date on a defect when it has not been set, causes the instance to be marked as dirty. This is obviously a problem with the way that dates are handled in the weightings tab. This also happens when moving from a field to the raised date so is not related to the 'leave as blank' checkbox.  |
Was all to do with the 'leave as blank' checkbox, added the 'updating form' flag to this section of the code  |
| 376 | should be able to get reports for represented entity | 16/08/2002 16:36:20 | 16/08/2002 16:45:00 | on a hierarchy branch, if the branch represents something else then it would be useful to get the reports for that entity in the reports popup.  | It does this if the script has been set up to respond to HierarchyNode.thing as the report will be sent a hierarchynode and the script would would to pull out the represents object  |

FAQ
Why does Browserosaurus ask to be set as my default browser?
This is required for Browserosaurus to know that a link has been
clicked. You can change this at any time by going to
System Preferences > General > Default web browser
and (de)selecting Browserosaurus. Please note that if not set as
the default browser, Browserosaurus will not work.
How do I set my favourite browser?
A favourite browser is one that will always appear nearest to the mouse cursor, therefore an easier target to click. You can set your favourite by clicking on the Browserosaurus menubar icon.
The picker window was very slow to display.
The app needs to be running in the background for the picker window to show immediately. You can confirm Browserosaurus is running by looking for the "B" icon in the menubar. If you have not set Browserosaurus to load on startup, it can take a few seconds until it is available. Each subsequently clicked link will open the picker window promptly, like normal.
I'm clicking links in my browser but Browserosaurus does not show.
Only links clicked outside of browsers will open Browserosaurus. This is by design.
Does Browserosaurus collect any of my data?
No.
Not even the link I click?
Nope. The only outgoing call Browserosaurus makes is to check for an update. The only persistent piece of user information saved to disk is which favourite browser you have selected.
I installed or removed a browser but I'm not seeing this updated in the picker window.
Browserosaurus checks for installed browsers when it is loaded. Please click the "B" icon in the menubar, and select "Quit". Start Browserosaurus again and you will see the changes.
I have a browser that's not shown in the picker window, even after restarting Browserosaurus.
Browserosaurus operates on a whitelist basis. If you would like a browser added, please raise an issue.
I have a question that is not answered here.
If you have any issues, feature requests, or would simply like to say "hi", please raise an issue on GitHub, or send me a tweet.

Presentation by Antonio A. T. M.
Javadoc is a tool dedicated to generating documents in an HTML format. This format is similar to the Java API and is created in the same way. When Javadoc compiles, it looks for specific comments to fill in the html document. The way to formally write to javadoc in a document is using the:
/**
* Method/Class described here
*/
comment before the method that it will be describing.
Describing the parts of a method is through the use of the keywords,
/**
*@param VARIABLE_NAME Description of variable
*@author CREATORSNAME
*@return Description of returned value
*/
public class MyInteger {
public MyInteger(){
value=0;
}
public MyInteger(int i){
setValue(i);
}
public void setValue (int i) {
value=i;
}
public int getValue (){
return value;
}
public int binValue() {
int numBin=0;
int numInt=value;
int remainder;
int counter=0;
while (numInt!=0) {
remainder=numInt % 2;
numBin=(int)Math.pow(10,counter)*remainder;
numInt+=numInt/2;
counter++;
}
return numBin;
}
private int value;
}
Add a javadoc comment to every method in this class. Be descriptive. A general rule of thumb is that if you cannot describe a method properly you will not be able to implement the method correctly.
/**
* Second constructor it receives the value to be stored
* @param i integer value that this class represents
* @author Antonio
*/
public MyInteger(int i) {
setValue(i);
}
Every Graphical User Interface that incorporates a response to user actions must incorporate a type of listener. Different types include Mouse, Timer, and Key listeners. Just as it sounds, listeners “listen” or wait for a specific action described to do a defined task.
- Let’s create an example. Open a new Project called ListenerProject.
- Add two classes: MyFrameViewer (This will be your main class), and ListenerClass
o Make sure the method stub
public static void main(String[] args) is automatically created for MyFrameViewer.
- You will be creating a JFrame with buttons so import the JFrame and JButton classes to your FrameViewer. Give the frame a height of 200 and
a width of 400.
- Create a JButton using:
JButton button = new JButton("Text that goes over the button")
- Add your button to your frame by the .add() method.
- In your ListenerClass, you should import the ActionEvent and ActionListener classes.
o This ListenerClass will allow us to generate clicking Listeners for our main class. This class will work as an middle man for the
ActionListener interface and allow us to manage it as well.
- Copy the following code into your ListenerClass:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
/**
An action listener that prints a message.
*/
public class ListenerClass implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
//Your code here
}
}
- Add some code to the actionPerformed() method that will print something on the console.
- Finally, create an instance of the ListenerClass in your FrameViewer:
ActionListener listener = new ListenerClass();
- HINT: Notice how the data type is not ListenerClass. Why do you think that is? Interfaces and their uses will be explained later in the course.
- Add this listener to your button by using the .addActionListener(listener) method.
- Run your program.
Show your work to the lab instructor (20 Points)
- Add the MyInteger class to your current java project by copying over.
- Modify your listener class and button so that, when clicked, it will print out the binary value of the decimal number 26.
Show your work to the lab instructor (20 Points)
- Next we will create a second frame that will hold another button. This button should have a different name but will make use of the same
listener as our first button. This second frame should be added from the already main class, MyFrameViewer.
- We will modify our ListenerClass to make different actions for each button. To give a specific command to each button, you can use the
button.setActionCommand(“Name you decide”) method.
- You should also initialize the button as an instance variable (before the static main… ) so that you can access it from your Listener Class.
- In the actionPerfomed method, add instructions to decide which button set the action (e.getActionCommand) so that the text displayed on
top of the button is changed to “It changed!”
Show your work to the lab instructor (20 Points)
- As a review, we will be studying the JUnit once again during this lab. Create a new JUnit Test Case while in the MyInteger class in myJavadoc.
- Add the following code and verify that MyInteger is working properly:
MyInteger i1 = new MyInteger(13);
assertEquals(“Binary representation of 13 is 1101”, 1101,i1.binValue());
- As last time, add 4 more assertionEquals with different number to your JUnit tester and run it.
- Make use of the @Before, @Test, @Ignore, and different assertions properly and then show your work.
(These assertions could be assertTrue(),assertNull(), etc…)
Show your work to the lab instructor (20 Points)

Subject: Review: Forces of Nature (1999) Newsgroups: rec.arts.movies.reviews Approved<EMAIL_ADDRESS>X-Questions-to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>X-Submissions-to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Followup-To: rec.arts.movies.current-films Summary: r.a.m.r. #17369 Keywords: author=granger Organization: None Author<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Susan Granger)

Susan Granger's review of "FORCES OF NATURE"
Sandra Bullock shines in this frenetic road comedy/love story about the shared adventures of two unlikely people thrown together on a cross-country trip. She plays a goofy, mischievous, free-spirited lady who finds herself seated on a plane next to Ben Affleck, a stolid New York-based copy-writer. She's going from New York to Savannah, Georgia, to sell a bagel shop and visit her 10 year-old son, while he's nervously en route to his wedding there. But, on take-off, the plane's engine inhales a seagull and they never get off the ground. So, they have to find other means of transportation to their shared destination. Think "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" but add buses and on foot. Patterned on the old Preston Sturges screwball comedies, the premise works because the characters are genuine and their emotional problems are identifiable. You empathize with their dilemma and growing attraction to one another, even though the two stars definitely lack chemistry together. Director Bronwen Hughes ("Harriet the Spy") captures the quirky charm of Marc Lawrence's script, often using MTV-inspired visuals. It's too bad that beautiful Maura Tierney, playing Affleck's fiance, keeps losing her Southern accent, and that the ending takes a detour that may cause some disapproval. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Forces of Nature" is an amusing, romantic 6. Unfortunately, however, many of the best moments are in the coming-attractions trailer.

Let's Talk About Dev Tools
Here's whats comin:
- Chrome Dev Tools and some js debugging tips
- Sublime Text 3 Packages and Customization
- How I learned to stop worrying and love the shell
- NVM && Brew (if we got time)
But... I don't like change!
- It'll stop hurting after a while, I promise
Disclaimer
- Some of you are gonna be bored at parts, sorry
- Also we're gonna need to plow through this, so if you haven't installed something we need, i recommend doing that now while we talk about browser stuff
Let's Get Started: Debugging
console.log()
is not the end-all-be-all
- Learn how to detect repaint and reflow issues, inspect objects/nodes more thoroughly, use handy shortcuts and emulators
Debuggin' 2
console.dir()
for inspecting objects and seeing all properties (dom nodes are objects)
console.profile()
and console.profileEnd()
will tell chrome to automatically run a code profile for you
performance.now()
can be used for high res benchmarking (down to the nanosecond)
Debuggin' 3
- Besides console commands, we have a few other basic tricks we can use
- When inspecting a node,
$0
can bring it up in the console
performance.now()
can be used for high res benchmarking (down to the nanosecond)
- Other things to look into: using the timeline, code breakpoints
Repaint and Reflow (minor detour)
- JS execution time is fast (like, really fast), browser rendering not so much
- Any time your code causes a 'write', the browser has to calculate how to repaint that (and whether it needs to reflow, even worse)
- Best practice is to front-load your 'reads' and then do all your 'writes'. Going back and forth too much can cause layout thrashing at worst and slow fps at best
- To achieve 60fps we need to focus on animating cheap values, and accelerating the not-cheap ones ( gpu tricks, raf )
So How do we debug that?
- The Chrome Dev Tools rendering tab
- Open Rendering Tab
- If you're ever doing css transition/animation work, these are your best friends
Mobile Debugging
- Newer versions of Chrome should have the phone icon in the top left.
- Instead of just resizing the window, use this guy to get a more accurate view of how Wired looks on mobile, or tablet
- Even sort of emulates touch events? Kinda okay?
- No substitute for a real device, but leagues better than just resizing the window
Package Control
- Shift + Cmd + P to bring up Command Palette
- Alternatively, Tools > Command Palette
- Type Package Control
- Commands to know: Install, List, and Remove
Installing a Package
- Click on Install Package
- Find SublimeLinter (just start typing)
- Click on SublimeLinter
- Bam, you're done son
- If Package Control gives you additional instructions, follow them.
- Occasionally packages have other requirements, like npm modules
Packages I think we should all be using:
- SublimeLinter: With annotations, jshint, jscs, phpcs and phplint
- DockBlockr: consistent documentation
- Stylus: Syntax Highlighter for Stylus
- GitGutter: visually track changes to the repo in sublime
Optional but still, totally cool, packages:
- BracketHighlighter: never lose your place in code again
- ColorHighlighter: hex and rgb values get highlighted in their color
- CanIUse: quickly bring up a browser matrix for your code
- SidebarEnhancements: adds ton of functionality to the sidebar
- Theme: Spacegray. Looks real good.
Set your Settings:
- A lot of POWER can be had in settings
- Actually, not that much, but there a couple improvements we can make
- Adjust font size, line height, and toggle functionality on/off
Finding your settings:
- Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - Defaults
- Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - User
- It's just JSON, any settings set here override the ones in default
Useful Settings:
- "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true - no more whitespace errors
- "draw_white_space": "all" - tabs or spaces?
- "draw_minimap_border": true
- "highlight_line": true - easily see where the cursor is
- "highlight_modified_tabs": true - see what files you've modified easier
- "word_wrap": true - crazy long scripts will wrap
Useful Settings 2:
- Many packages also have settings you can tweak
- Install SublimeLinter-Annotations (just search annotations)
- Tools -> SublimeLinter -> Open User Settings
- You can tweak what annotations does, and the highlight here
World War Zsh
- The default terminal experience could be better
- Better tab completion, always visible git repos, syntax highlighting
- oh-my-zsh is the most popular variant of zshell
- we're gonna walk through setting up aliases, using plugins, and settings zshell as your default terminal
Set up your shell
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh
will change your default shell to zsh
- alternatively, you can source zsh in your terminal if you dont want to commit just yet:
source ~/.zshrc
Aliases
- First things first, we're gonna make an alias
- ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/example.zsh
- The following line will reload zshell, which will come in handy for us soon
alias reload="source ~/.zshrc"
- You're gonna have to restart your terminal here, but it will be the last time we'll need to do this
Plugins
- zsh comes with plugins pre-downloaded, they are all accessible by default
- https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Plugins
- Many plugins have dependencies tho, so we're gonna use brew a bit again
Plugins 2
- ~/.zshrc (if you've ever wondered, with dot files, rc stands for runtime config)
- Ctrl+F plugins (should be line 55)
- My Plugins line:
plugins=(git common-aliases dirhistory git-extras zsh-syntax-highlighting)
Plugins 3
- We're gonna add the git-extras plugin
- It's super simple: just add git-extras to your plugins in .zshrc
- I picked this one because it has a brew dependency, so now we also need to run brew install git-extras
- Now if you reload (using our alias from earlier) we should have access to all the git-extras commands
- I use git-extras command
git delete-branch
quite often
Extra Credit 1: NVM
- This one will be quick, i promise
- Never sudo again (hopefully, i think, we can fix it anyway)
- Use NVM to install specific node versions for testing or experimenting
NVM 2
- You should already have it installed, but it needs to be sourced to use
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
- You can add this line to your .zshrc or .bashrc file to source on load
- You should be able to type nvm now and get the options list
NVM 3
- Commands to know: install, use, ls, and ls-remote
- nvm ls will show all currently installed versions of node, you should see nothing ( or system ) here
- nvm ls-remote will show all possible versions of node
- nvm use [ver-number] is how you switch versions of node
NVM 4
- Let's install v0.11.15 (edge version)
nvm install v0.11.15
- we're now using that version of node, and we can easily switch between this edge version and the latest 'stable' release (v0.10.36 currently)
- v0.11.15 has greater support for es6 functionality compared to v0.10.36, useful if you want to play around with that (or just use io.js *cough*)
Extra Credit 2: Homebrew
- So we've been using brew for a lot of stuff, what is it?
- It's yet another package manager, but this time for the mac in general
- All things shell and mac can be had through brew
- Also, beer theme
Useful brews
- Git, NVM, wget
- zsh / oh-my-zsh / zsh plugins
- php / python / ruby
- tons of other stuff
1 problem with Brew
- Needs constant updating and maintenance
- Solution: schedule automatic updates
- https://github.com/mkalmes/brewupdate
- Never
brew update
again
Thats it, we're done now
- What should I talk about next?
- Option 1: The DOM
- Option 2: Javascript Fundamentals
- Option 3: Phoenix Front End Overview #2
- Option 4: ES6: Javascript Next

A Student’s Guide to Living Abroad I
This is the first of a 2-part series. While this one is focused on making preparations for the travel, the next one will (hopefully) provide deeper insight into how life works and what to expect from the outside world based on my experience so far.
Last summer, I told my mom that I’d be traveling to live in a new country: in this case, France.

She seemed supportive.
The next few weeks were spent teaching me to avoid dying of starvation and it would seem mom made it work.
Having been through the process, I’ve got some tips and tricks to share for students going about this the first time around. I’ve tried to use broad strokes and avoid region-specific concerns but you can feel free to email me about them.
This post is meant to serve as a guideline for traveling like a beast — obtaining maximal efficiency with minimal luggage; learning the ropes of survival on 35kg of baggage allowance. It incorporates elements of preparedness for moving to a new house, living alone in a new city, with new people around.  But at least I don’t have to haggle with the check-in crew for extra kilos anymore (I lied, I still do).
Background
As an Indian boy, especially a Gujarati (we’re known for our affinity with food), traveling abroad I honestly had one single concern.
How much of my kitchen can I possibly stuff into my luggage?
Like it or not, it’s a trade-off between carrying that prized cardigan or a pack of freeze-dried paranthas (Indian flat-breads). In my case, I had about 35 kilos of luggage allowance, but evidently even two bags of 23kg are not enough for some whilst migrating to a new land. A lot of my rather affluent friends purchase additional luggage to transport a sizeable chunk of India along with them.
This post is basically me trying to tell you (and parents possibly concerned about your survival), “Chill out. You’ll live.” (Not) Planning
The first time I traveled to Switzerland for a couple of months, I didn’t bother to plan. That’s a really bad idea.
Last summer, I carried along a lot of stuff that I could actually have bought for cheaper in France/Switzerland compared to India. This included a truckload of clothes, some food items, and spices that I never ended up using. Let’s take a look at these items:
- Ready-to-drink Tea Mix: Unless you’re traveling extensively, you’re not going to need more than 5–7 single sachets of this mix. Usually, I prefer the normal way of boiling tea leaves with milk and that’s been replaced slowly by the fantastic coffee I get out here.
- Freeze-dried Food: My mother, after substantial research, painstakingly cooked 7 kilos of two different vegetable curries (Pav Bhaji and Mixed Veg.) and had them dehydrated into packs of food that I could then simply boil and eat. To be fair, it was a pretty useful item until I realized that I could actually cook. Then it became a really mundane meal and I kinda liked the fresh, hot, spicy (even shitty) food that I made, so quite a few packs were left unused by the end of my stay.
- Chilly Flakes and Oregano: These two Italian spices are used globally, so carrying huge packets, in my opinion, was not a great use of my limited luggage space.
- Biscuits: Don’t waste your time and space trying to stuff five packs of Bourbon down your bag when we all know the first thing you’re going to do is buy Oreo in wholesale quantities once you land.
- Rice and Flour: A friend of mine wanted to carry along kilos of rice and flour. People eat both these items the world over, so please calm down and search for the nearest grocer. I can guarantee with absolute certainty you will be able to find affordably priced products nearby.
- Thermal Wear: Google the weather before traveling, and for heaven’s sake don’t go overboard with your woolens. If it’s a cold place, it’s very likely the stores nearby will stock cheap winter wear. Some of them have really great deals in the summer so buying in advance might save you dem moneys.
- Socks: Amazon is everywhere. Amazon delivers the heavens to your doorstep. I carried along like twelve pairs of socks but I could just as well have bought them in France (or via Amazon France). Sure, they may be a little more expensive, but you could use the extra space to carry along spices that you might need more than the socks.
- Toiletries: Travel packs are fine, but there’s really little use in carrying along bigger bottles of shaving gel, shampoos, soaps, etc. especially if it’s not medically necessitated.
- Clothes: Carrying your wardrobe along is a painstaking process, not to mention an expensive one in terms of baggage allowance. If you’re going someplace in the summer just take a look at the local shops, sales, and order online. In my case, the $100 I would spend on carrying an extra bag of clothes could be used to buy the same number/quality of clothes from local shops (H&M, Celio, etc.) in the summer sales.
Now that you know how that works, let’s move onto the actual planning that would help optimize your packing efficiency.
Packing is all about prioritizing what you need. Some things are vital, others just aren’t.
Rule of thumb: Food is ubiquitous. People eat food everywhere. Don’t look so surprised, it’s true.
Before I left, I had no clue what kind of food I’d rely on in Switzerland, so I did what anyone with half a brain (and little use for it) would do: I brought my kitchen with me. Every single spice I could lay my hands on, I stuffed into the bag. However, when I actually spent 15 minutes searching for alternatives once I arrived in Switzerland, I was able to find a decent set of brick-and-mortar Indian stores in pretty much every major city from San Francisco to Delft, and Boston to Geneva. Apart from that there’s online options available in the USA as well as Switzerland.
We did eventually end up ordering online via a store called Swiss Rasoi that gave us a decent discount since we found 4 other Indians and ordered products in larger quantities.
Pro Tip: They have a sale each month, email them about it.
Of course the trade-off for buying this stuff abroad is that you pay a lot more than you would in India. But if you’re moving abroad for a longer duration, you’re going to have to bite the bullet at some point.
Planning Tips
-
Know thy City: The internet is at your fingertips. Don’t just search for places, search for people already there. Ask for suggestions unabashedly. Figure out the hacks that can help you live an easier life; I don’t just mean free refills of soda at the local fast food joints.
-
Know thy Weather: Having knowledge of the kind of weather you are going into is very helpful because it can help you plan the kind of clothing you require. If you’re traveling in the summer, you can purchase winter clothes on sale, saving yourself copious amounts of both, cash and luggage allowance.
-
Know thy Locality: Even within cities, it is often a diverse landscape and some neighborhoods may be better than others (also more expensive). If you’re traveling, try to use Google Street View to check out the locality, the local stores, and most importantly whether Amazon delivers to the ZIP code.
-
Know thy Public Transport System: A systematic public transport system is extremely crucial in saving your time and can help you figure out the feasibility of traveling to local stores. Most of the times, you will find that Google Maps offers a fairly accurate picture of the schedules and means of transport but this is not always the case. Try to figure out the apps that help track local bus, tram and train schedules and check your connectivity to assess how likely it is that you can shop for groceries daily/weekly.
-
Know thy Roommates: I got lucky to find the best roommates ever. We cooked, cleaned, worked, and traveled together.  Besides, it helps to know you’re not living with serial killers. Mostly.
-
Know thy Telecom Providers: International packs from India cost me between INR 2,500 and INR 4,000 and gives me maybe a hundred minutes of calling to India, a couple of gigs of internet and so on. A Freemobile (yes, it’s a company) costs me 25 Euro (~INR 1,600) and gives me 50–100GB of pan-Europe internet, and unlimited calling to international* numbers (including India). It’s always simpler if you know the plans in the country you’re moving to because eventually you’re going to be getting them anyway. *maximum of 200 different phone numbers, but it’s still a lot.
The Visa Application
I required a Schengen Visa for my work in Europe, but before that I was planning on attending school in the USA so I had an active F1-Visa that I later returned following the return of my I-20.
The Schengen Visa permits travel within 26 countries situated in EU and Switzerland (Switzerland is not officially a part of the EU but for practical purposes, you don’t need to worry about it).
This also means the Swiss use the Swiss Franc (CHF) and not the Euro. Some places accept both, but offer bad exchange rates for Euro to CHF conversion so you’re better off carrying CHF in advance.
The Swiss (Schengen) Visa
For the Visa Application in India, VFS is a courier company that collects your application and biometric details and sends it off to the Swiss Embassy in New Delhi. Some tips for the application for the Swiss Visa:
-
Be clear about your Visa-type. For students, it’s usually the <90-day Visa or for longer stays (e.g. 1 year), the Type D National Visa (at least at CERN).
-
Based on the Visa-type there are checklists available for the supporting documents required. Go through these thoroughly before doing anything else. Read a few different checklists if you’re like me and want to get a better idea of what you might need (even though you really won’t).
-
Preferably book an appointment 6+ weeks before your travel dates. It barely takes a few days for your Visa to arrive but having a buffer period is safer.
-
In some cases, you need to get a bank statement verified by an official that shows you have some funds to sustain your lifestyle. For most banks this takes a few days so get it done early on.
-
Get your bookings in order; especially residence. You can use Booking.com or Hotels.com for at least a temporary accommodation solution until you finalize the details of your stay. I booked my return-trip flights in advance but I’ve been told it’s not mandatory.
It’s not a very “stringent” procedure because it’s not “an interview” — as per my understanding, VFS acts as an intermediary, and is supposed to help you out with preparing your application for the Schengen Visa. So no need to be nervous.
The US Visa
For my F1 Visa Application, I have a vague recollection of the procedure so I’ll be brief; please confirm these details before proceeding:
-
It had (understandably) a far more detailed application form than the Schengen Visa.
-
They require an I-20 if you’re applying for the F1 or (if I’m not mistaken) J1 Visa. The I-20 must also be presented at the time of arrival in the USA (at immigration).
-
Here, the fees are to be paid online and cost me somewhere around $160 (INR 10,000) at the time of application. There are two separate appointments: one for collecting your biometric details and another for the actual “interview.” Yes, this is an actual interview and if you do not answer to their satisfaction, they reserve the right to refuse your Visa without justification.
-
As per what I have seen and heard, your finances matter here. I can’t offer any “magic combination” to pass all scrutiny but simply be clear about what you are saying and avoid falsifying information at all costs.
-
I have a hunch that your institute matters because I was going only for a summer but I was given a 5-year F1 Visa. My I-20 was from a highly reputed institute so maybe that made life much easier for me. Or maybe I just got lucky (although I ended up returning the I-20 and Visa).
Flight Selection
Booking flights isn’t always about getting the cheapest travel option.
Okay, it mostly is.
As a student, it is easy to just go for the cheapest options but if you’re looking to go a little deeper think about it this way: if you travel smart, the more you travel, the cheaper it gets.
So a slightly more expensive flight option now will get you not only more comfort and luggage allowance now but also help you improve your traveler status and increase the probability of free upgrades in the future.
I will avoid going into details but you can read more about airline alliances that comprise of 3 major groups of airlines that allow you to earn miles when you fly any of them in the same group. Later you can redeem them for vouchers, discounts, and of course free flights. Alliances also have tie-ups with some credit card companies and car rental services to help you earn free miles so take a closer look and maybe you’ll find yourself traveling business class on a free upgrade before the end of the decade.
Another important factor is to request student status, a provision most carriers offer. At the very least you get extra luggage allowance, but sometimes you might get good discounts. Student tickets are often non-refundable so ensure that you’ve got a solid plan in place before finalizing.
Pro Tip: If you travel like I do (overfilled luggage; prepared to haggle at check-in counters), it helps to transfer most of your weight to the ‘laptop bags’ or ‘purses.’ They have never bothered to ask me about the big-ass laptop bag I carried with me (I travel Emirates, in case you’re wondering). Update: Based on a friend’s experience, Etihad did charge them for extra kilos at Abu Dhabi. Avoid pushing your luck.
Layovers
I used to be very excited about flights (note the past tense). The first time I booked my trip from India, I picked a Lufthansa flight to Geneva with a 9-hour layover in Munich because why the heck not!
I had a plan, and a backup plan.
The Plan
I will take the Lufthansa shuttle into Munich and then figure out where I can travel around. I never looked into the places I could visit — I would have data or at least free WiFi and I could figure it out. The Backup Plan
Munich airport is rated 2nd in the World. It has a mini-golf course and a spa, among other amenities. It costs about 6CHF which is decent. Worst case, I play 9 hours of mini-golf. Not a bad way to spend the day.
Reality
Data pack was inactive. No network.
“No problem, I have free WiFi.”
WiFi isn’t connecting and there’s nobody around that speaks English to help. In fact, there’s literally nobody around except a few security guys and cleaning staff.
“It’s alright lets skip the city shuttle and enjoy the mini-golf and spa.”
It’s a Saturday morning. The activities are in another terminal and that’s shut for the time being.
“Fuuu…..”
Yes, that happened.
Eventually I managed to figure out the location of the shuttle stop at the airport and reach the city center. A kind stranger bought me a train ticket and I roamed around some park; I still don’t remember the name. I ate at an Indian restaurant handled by jovial Pakistani dudes (it’s way more common than you’d think). Turns out the city is pretty lively towards the afternoon and I was served some crappy Lebanese brunch (“Sir, your vegan food”) whilst strolling around the farmer’s market before heading back to the airport. Pretty great layover overall, but things could have gone very wrong that day.
Planning Done Right
The second time I traveled to Geneva, I was a seasoned veteran of air-travel (mostly just in my head though).
I still ended up over-packing, rearranged my baggage at check-in, haggled with the personnel, and successfully managed to carry the other half of India into Switzerland.
This time around, I was more aware of what I should carry along and the items that had most helped the past summer:
-
Cash: It isn’t really necessary in the USA since most stores accept card payment, but in some places around France we still are required to pay in cash so it becomes necessary to carry sufficient cash or find an ATM assuming you have low fees for international withdrawals.
-
Universal Travel Adapters: Mostly due to my Macbook (USB-C ftw), but also travel adapters are mighty useful to have in general. They can get pretty expensive to buy on airports or souvenir shops so be sure to carry a spare.
-
Essential Spices (bare minimum):
- Chaipatti (Dried, Crushed Tea Leaves);
- Red Chilly Powder;
- Dhanajiru (Cumin + Coriander Powder);
- Turmeric;
- Jeera (Cumin);
- Rai (Mustard Seeds);
- Hing (Asafoetida);
- Chaat Masala;
- Garam Masala;
Pro Tip: you get sugar, pepper, and salt literally everywhere, including the airplane!
- Advanced Cooking (bare minimum):
- Poha (Rice Flakes);
- Biryani Masala;
- Pav Bhaji Masala;
- Aamchur (Dry Mango Powder);
- Gud (Jaggery);
- Imli (Tamarind);
- Tejpatta (Bayleaf);
- Elaichi (Cardamom);
- Laung (Cloves);
- Dalchini (Cinnamon);
- Kali Mirch (Black Pepper).
- Namkeen: You don’t always have time to shop so keep some ready-to-eat food handy just in case you need it:
- Maggi, always;
- Haldiram’s Poha.
- Ready-made Food Mix: Basically these are powders that you can use for various purposes without much effort:
- MTR Dosa Mix;
- MTR Upma Mix;
- Talod Dhokla Mix.
-
Vacuum-sealed Stuff: The first time I went, mother made some rotis, theplas, and paranthas (different Indian breads) at home and had them vacuum-sealed at the local grocer. It lasted around 2 months since I put it in the freezer immediately once I reached France. It’s a temporary hack, but it works. She also made me a minced chilly mix that I didn’t use as much but was helpful when we ran out of green chillies.
-
Cooking Appliances: The Pressure Cooker is infinitely useful. It is indispensable unless you have enough time to spend in the kitchen boiling rice and potatoes in a pan (this doesn’t take as long as you’d imagine). Get a small one along, it is worth the effort. I tried to carry a Roti Maker this time but unfortunately when I tried it out, the voltage shorted it. Sucks. But I can make roti without a roti-maker (that’s a lie, I’m too lazy). Okay fine, I will try again and update this post. Next, there’s the Pav Bhaji masher — I’m unaware of its exact name but hopefully you get what I mean. Finally, carry a good thermos along for the daily beverage or simply hot water, if you can spare the luggage space for it.
-
Old Passports: If you intend on traveling to multiple countries, some places ask about your travel history for the Visa Application. It isn’t mandatory, but it helps if you have your older (even expired) passports to carry along.
-
Driving License: One big plus is that if you can drive in India, you can drive pretty much anywhere (in theory). Your license is valid between 6 months to 1 year, but it is advisable to get an international license made because it’s much cheaper in India. It’s amazing how empty the roads are, but ensure you know the road rules. Parking spots are a pain to find and more importantly understand. Fines are hefty. Also, don’t drink and drive. You can’t afford it. It’s that simple.
-
Photocopies of Documents: At the office, I can take free printouts. But outside, photocopies aren’t priced at a rupee for a side. Carry attested/sealed copies of at least your mark-sheets, passport, and Visa in case it is required on short-notice.
-
Passport-sized Photographs: Carry about thirty. I’m not kidding; Schengen requires a different format from the standard passport-sized photographs. Get the standard as well as Schengen-format photos printed so that you save time and effort spent on getting them made abroad.
-
Munchies are awesome. Food here is bland, and most of my junk food comprises chips. “Mobile” Khakhra (Roasted flatbread) is a welcome break when I’m too lazy to get snacks at the cafeteria. Mother dearest found me packs of kurmura (puffed rice flakes) I wish I’d carried Soya Sticks but I believe it should be available at the local Asian store. Update: it was not :(
-
Energy Bars: They’re available in a range of varieties at almost all grocerie sand they’re extremely easy to carry around. I have 2 in my bag at all times. Usually I prefer to buy them from abroad instead of carrying them from home. But it works either way. Nature Valley is decently priced if you buy the larger packs off Amazon.
-
Parachute Coconut oil (small bottle): Easiest remedy for dry hair after days of daily shampooing. Honestly. Silky Smooth Amazeness.
-
Toiletries: While most of these are unnecessary in large quantities, you would do well to carry the tongue cleaner. It’s pretty useful if you don’t find a toothbrush that fits the bill. Seriously. Also nail-cutters; tiny, but very useful once every two weeks (that’s what she said). As a cleanliness freak, I carry a hand sanitizer wherever I go. I just have to.
-
Backpack: Invest in a sturdy, light-weight backpack that can be useful on both a regular basis as well as weekend trips. Nobody likes lugging suitcases around. You could figure out decent options once you arrive in case you’re aware of good sales. I know for a fact France has great offers during the summers.
-
Electronics: If you don’t like spending a lot on electronics, carry a decent set of headphones, extra USB cables, and universal adapters.  For backups and other data storage. It could actually be cheaper to purchase hard drives in flash sales (or holiday sales) abroad, but we all know the sources of the ‘data’ that you need are of questionable legality outside the country so you’re going to bring one along anyway.
-
Shoes: If you’re going to indulge in adventure activities please bear in mind that healthcare costs skyrocket pretty easily. If you’re covered by insurance, that’s fine. But since I started play squash, football, and running, I’ve spent a bit of money on good quality running shoes that enable me to run on concrete without the jarring impact to my knees. I’m still dicey on skiing though.
- Pack of Cards: Monopoly Deal, Uno, plain old playing cards; try to stuff in whatever you can once you’re done packing the important stuff. Extremely useful when you decide to travel around with your friends and have nothing to do once you’ve uploaded 1500 snap-stories from the car/train/hotel.
So that covers pretty much all of the basic items you’d require to survive comfortably in a new environment. I’ll update the post with relevant information over time. But for now, good luck preparing for your travels!
