This post about the iPhone from long time Windows developer and lover Jeff Atwood could not be more uncomfortable. Like an 8-year-old boy talking about the girl he has a crush on, he’s falling over himself trying to say good things about the iPhone without looking like he’s totally gay for Apple.
Jeff admits he hasn’t owned an Apple product for 25 years and that lack of experience with Macs is obvious:
There’s always been a weird tension in Apple’s computer designs, because they attempt to control every nuance of the entire experience from end to end. For the best Apple™ experience, you run custom Apple™ applications on artfully designed Apple™ hardware dongles.
Apple’s hardware and software work great together with Apple’s peripherals, as a computer user that reduces the tension for me significantly.
All those things that bugged me about Apple’s computers are utter non-issues in the phone market. Proprietary handset? So is every other handset. Locked in to a single vendor? Everyone signs a multi-year contract. One company controlling your entire experience? That’s how it’s always been done.
Oh, so that weird tension Apple™ creates by only offering the best Apple™ experience with Apple™ hardware, Apple™ software and Apple™ peripherals doesn’t bother you at all in a market where actually being locked in by way of contract is the status quo. The same way I’m cool with treating women like dirt when I’m hanging out with my Saudi Arabian friends.
Apple has never been particularly great at supporting software developers […]
Except when it comes to providing a full suite of developer tools with the operating system and offering developer connection subscriptions both completely free rather than charging the 1000s of dollars Microsoft does, yeah they’re not great at supporting developers.
If this has all come across as too rah-rah, too uncritical a view of the iPhone, I apologize. There are certainly things to be critical about, such as the App Store’s weird enforcement policies, the lack of support for emulators, or Flash, or anything else that might somehow undermine the platform as decided in some paranoid, secretive Apple back room. Not that we’d ever hear about it.
 Quick, ridicule Apple’s secretiveness, that’ll do. Lack of support for Flash or emulators couldn’t possibly be a trade-off to improve phone experience you’re currently lauding as a whole.

You didn’t?! And here I was about to call you an Apple fanboi because there’s no way a phone could actually be that good. Up until now I thought your review must be based on unwavering loyalty to the Apple brand, not the phone’s merits.
This is a long standing dilemma for Mac users and lovers trying to communicate the virtues of the platform with Windows users. We use Macs because it’s a better, friction less experience, not because we’re married to Apple. I can only assume that it’s because they’re so tragically hardened by their long-standing, endless, multiple computer battle trying to force Windows to do what they want that they simply cannot believe or don’t want to believe (they’ve already invested SO. MUCH. TIME. ALREADY) that a computer exists without those problems that’s a joy to use.
On a greater scale than the iPod, the iPhone is going lure in a huge amount of non-Mac users. There’s little barrier to finding out what a joyful, easy experience it can be when a company that cares about user experience and good design creates a product, hardware, software, peripherals and from the ground up to work together. A lot of people, even curmudgeonly old Windows developers, will hang up their hang ups about being “forced” to buy a great computer to run great software and will enjoy the computer again just as they enjoy their new phones.

git : under the covers
a little insight into how git works
disclaimer: any gross oversimplifications or omissions are completely deliberate to avoid getting side-tracked
Anatomy of a Repo
Part 1
Creating a repo
... the hard way
What's the point of refs?
How we find commits. Don't want to search every object
- heads: the names of our branches - move around
- tags: the names of our tags - stay in one place
- HEAD: where we're going to commit to
The Graph
Part 2
git gymnastics
Moving branches
git reset
Changes a branch to point to a specific commit
soft |
✓ |
✗ |
✗ |
mixed |
✓ |
✓ |
✗ |
hard |
✓ |
✓ |
✓ |
git reset
- Branch: point /.git/refs/heads/[branch] to new commit.
- Index: Copy tree from commit to the index.
- Working dir: Change content to match version in the index.
'Moving' commits
git cherry-pick
git cherry-pick
- Parent changes ⇒ we change the hash.
- Old object not changed
What if you've got 15 commits to move from one branch to another?
git rebase
1:
2:
3:
4:
|
for each commit in branch-a
cherry-pick commit onto branch-b
reset branch-a to new commit

git rebase --interactive
That's it
Hope that was enlightening in some way!

CPE Automation
CPE Automation@
Use this procedure to create NF Gateway enabled equipment automatically.
1. Summary@
This guide will cover the following sections@
This guide will not cover@
2. Create Automation VM@
Note
This procedure only needs to execute once for all CPE boxes. It is recommended to create this VM using VMWare hypervisor.
Obtain the CPE-Automation OVA@
Todo
We will need to put the OVA somewhere customer can download.
Create the VM with the OVA@
From your hypervisor, create a VM and use the Deploy from OVA option
Hit "Next", and you can choose your OVA image and give a name to the VM you are creating
Hit "Next", it will ask you which storage (Disk) you want to put your VM. Choose one that suits you.
Hit "Next“ and choose your Network. (Hint, "VM Network" is your default network, that usually is a good choice). For "Disk provisioning", you can leave it at the default choice of "Thin".
Hit "Next", and you are ready to deploy the OVA. Review the content carefully and hit "Finish" to deploy it.
After you hit "Finish", on the Task window, you should notice the VM been created. Once the it reaches 100%, your VM is created. And it should automatically start after the deployment is done.
Login and Check the automation VM@
Once the VM is completely deployed, we need to make sure the VM is setup correctly.
Go to the main VM window, right click on your VM,
on the popup menu, choose "Console"->"Open browser console".
You will see a console window pop up like this:
Login to the console by using credential
Username: nfadmin
Password: nfadmin
Check the IP setting by issuing "ip a" command. If you see a valid IP address, then your VM is on a network.
You can verify ssh access to the VM by using a ssh enabled terminal:
> ssh nfadmin@[ip_address_of_the_automation_vm]
Conclusion
This is the end of deploying the automation VM.
3. Installing CentOS 7 on the CPE@
Note
Have this ready before you start: You will need a CentOS 7 installation media before you start.
Insert an Ethernet Cable into your CPE and bootup your CPE via the installation media, you will encounter the first screen:
Choose "Install CentOS 7" to continue.
On the next screen, Choose your Language. And hit "Continue"
The "INSTALLATION SUMMARY" screen will appear.
Check to make sure the step (1) "SOFTWARE SELECTION" is set to "Minimal Install".
Then Click on step (2) "INSTALLATION DESTINATION" to setup the Disk.
Once in the "INSTALLATION DESTINATION" screen
Choose your Disk (NOT the USB installation media)
Click on "Automatically configure partitioning"
Then hit "Done" at the top left screen to continue.
Once you are back to the "INSTALLATION SUMMARY" screen
Choose step (3) "NETWORK & HOST NAME". The following screen should appear.
Turn on the Ethernet by hitting the button marked (1).
And then observe the IP Address appears below it (at area Marked (2)). (We will need that IP address when we run the automation).
Then hit "Done" at the top left screen to continue.
You should be back to the "INSTALLATION SUMAMRY" screen again, and you can hit "Begin Installation"" to start the Installation.
During the installation, you need to create a user account. For our deployment, you do not need to create root Password. So, press on "USER CREATION" to create an Admin user.
On the "CREATE USER" screen, you need to fill the following:
Username: nfadmin
click on "Make this user administrator"
Password: nfadmin
You then need to click "Done" twice to exit this screen.
You will be sent back to the installation screen, wait for it to complete installation, and the "Reboot" button will appear for you to restart the CPE with the CentOS installed.
Conclusion
This is the end of installing CentOS 7 on the CPE box.
4. Run Automation to setup the CPE box@
Note
You will need the IP address of your automation VM and the IP address of your CPE to continue this step
Connect to your automation VM via ssh from a terminal
> ssh nfadmin@[ip_address_of_the_automation_vm]
Login to the VM by using password: nfadmin
Start the automation by issuing the following command:
> ./setup-nfnbox.bash [ip_address_of_cpe]
The automation will prompt you to enter
"SSH password" to login to the CPE box (nfadmin)
"BECOME password" (hit <ENTER> key)
The automation will take a few minutes to complete. At the end of automation, you will see message like this:
PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************************************************************
<IP_ADDRESS> : ok=6 changed=3 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
<IP_ADDRESS> : ok=35 changed=28 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=2 rescued=0 ignored=0
Conclusion
The CPE is now setup and ready.
5. CentOS 7 Installation Media@
Disclaimer
There are many ways to obtain and setup the installation media. If you never set one up before, the quickest and easiest way to create one is by downloading the OS image and burn it to a USB by using disk utility.
CentOS 7 image@

Book III
When the companies were thus arrayed, each under its own captain, the Trojans
advanced as a flight of wild fowl or cranes that scream overhead when rain
and winter drive them over the flowing waters of Oceanus to bring death
and destruction on the Pygmies, and they wrangle in the air as they fly;
but the Achaeans marched silently, in high heart, and minded to stand by
one another.
As when the south wind spreads a curtain of mist upon the mountain
tops, bad for shepherds but better than night for thieves, and a man can
see no further than he can throw a stone, even so rose the dust from under
their feet as they made all speed over the plain.
When they were close up with one another, Alexandrus came forward
as champion on the Trojan side. On his shoulders he bore the skin of a
panther, his bow, and his sword, and he brandished two spears shod with
bronze as a challenge to the bravest of the Achaeans to meet him in single
fight. Menelaus saw him thus stride out before the ranks, and was glad
as a hungry lion that lights on the carcase of some goat or horned stag,
and devours it there and then, though dogs and youths set upon him. Even
thus was Menelaus glad when his eyes caught sight of Alexandrus, for he
deemed that now he should be revenged. He sprang, therefore, from his chariot,
clad in his suit of armour.
Alexandrus quailed as he saw Menelaus come forward, and shrank
in fear of his life under cover of his men. As one who starts back affrighted,
trembling and pale, when he comes suddenly upon a serpent in some mountain
glade, even so did Alexandrus plunge into the throng of Trojan warriors,
terror-stricken at the sight of the son Atreus.
Then Hector upbraided him. "Paris," said he, "evil-hearted Paris,
fair to see, but woman-mad, and false of tongue, would that you had never
been born, or that you had died unwed. Better so, than live to be disgraced
and looked askance at. Will not the Achaeans mock at us and say that we
have sent one to champion us who is fair to see but who has neither wit
nor courage? Did you not, such as you are, get your following together
and sail beyond the seas?  And now can you not dare face
Menelaus and learn what manner of man he is whose wife you have stolen?
Where indeed would be your lyre and your love-tricks, your comely locks
and your fair favour, when you were lying in the dust before him? The Trojans
are a weak-kneed people, or ere this you would have had a shirt of stones
for the wrongs you have done them."
And Alexandrus answered, "Hector, your rebuke is just. You are
hard as the axe which a shipwright wields at his work, and cleaves the
timber to his liking. As the axe in his hand, so keen is the edge of your
scorn. Still, taunt me not with the gifts that golden Venus has given me;
they are precious; let not a man disdain them, for the gods give them where
they are minded, and none can have them for the asking. If you would have
me do battle with Menelaus, bid the Trojans and Achaeans take their seats,
while he and I fight in their midst for Helen and all her wealth.
When Hector heard this he was glad, and went about among the Trojan
ranks holding his spear by the middle to keep them back, and they all sat
down at his bidding: but the Achaeans still aimed at him with stones and
arrows, till Agamemnon shouted to them saying, "Hold, Argives, shoot not,
sons of the Achaeans; Hector desires to speak."
They ceased taking aim and were still, whereon Hector spoke. "Hear
from my mouth," said he, "Trojans and Achaeans, the saying of Alexandrus,
through whom this quarrel has come about. He bids the Trojans and Achaeans
lay their armour upon the ground, while he and Menelaus fight in the midst
of you for Helen and all her wealth. Let him who shall be victorious and
prove to be the better man take the woman and all she has, to bear them
to his own home, but let the rest swear to a solemn covenant of
peace."
Thus he spoke, and they all held their peace, till Menelaus of
the loud battle-cry addressed them. "And now," he said, "hear me too, for
it is I who am the most aggrieved. I deem that the parting of Achaeans
and Trojans is at hand, as well it may be, seeing how much have suffered
for my quarrel with Alexandrus and the wrong he did me. Let him who shall
die, die, and let the others fight no more. Bring, then, two lambs, a white
ram and a black ewe, for Earth and Sun, and we will bring a third for Jove.
Moreover, you shall bid Priam come, that he may swear to the covenant himself;
for his sons are high-handed and ill to trust, and the oaths of Jove must
not be transgressed or taken in vain. Young men's minds are light as air,
but when an old man comes he looks before and after, deeming that which
shall be fairest upon both sides."
The Trojans and Achaeans were glad when they heard this, for they
thought that they should now have rest. They backed their chariots toward
the ranks, got out of them, and put off their armour, laying it down upon
the ground; and the hosts were near to one another with a little space
between them. Hector sent two messengers to the city to bring the lambs
and to bid Priam come, while Agamemnon told Talthybius to fetch the other
lamb from the ships, and he did as Agamemnon had said.
Meanwhile Iris went to Helen in the form of her sister-in-law,
wife of the son of Antenor, for Helicaon, son of Antenor, had married Laodice,
the fairest of Priam's daughters. She found her in her own room, working
at a great web of purple linen, on which she was embroidering the battles
between Trojans and Achaeans, that Mars had made them fight for her sake.
Iris then came close up to her and said, "Come hither, child, and see the
strange doings of the Trojans and Achaeans till now they have been warring
upon the plain, mad with lust of battle, but now they have left off fighting,
and are leaning upon their shields, sitting still with their spears planted
beside them. Alexandrus and Menelaus are going to fight about yourself,
and you are to the the wife of him who is the victor."
Thus spoke the goddess, and Helen's heart yearned after her former
husband, her city, and her parents. She threw a white mantle over her head,
and hurried from her room, weeping as she went, not alone, but attended
by two of her handmaids, Aethrae, daughter of Pittheus, and Clymene. And
straightway they were at the Scaean gates.
The two sages, Ucalegon and Antenor, elders of the people, were
seated by the Scaean gates, with Priam, Panthous, Thymoetes, Lampus, Clytius,
and Hiketaon of the race of Mars. These were too old to fight, but they
were fluent orators, and sat on the tower like cicales that chirrup delicately
from the boughs of some high tree in a wood. When they saw Helen coming
towards the tower, they said softly to one another, "Small wonder that
Trojans and Achaeans should endure so much and so long, for the sake of
a woman so marvellously and divinely lovely. Still, fair though she be,
let them take her and go, or she will breed sorrow for us and for our children
after us."
But Priam bade her draw nigh. "My child," said he, "take your seat
in front of me that you may see your former husband, your kinsmen and your
friends. I lay no blame upon you, it is the gods, not you who are to blame.
It is they that have brought about this terrible war with the Achaeans.
Tell me, then, who is yonder huge hero so great and goodly? I have seen
men taller by a head, but none so comely and so royal. Surely he must be
a king."
"Sir," answered Helen, "father of my husband, dear and reverend
in my eyes, would that I had chosen death rather than to have come here
with your son, far from my bridal chamber, my friends, my darling daughter,
and all the companions of my girlhood. But it was not to be, and my lot
is one of tears and sorrow. As for your question, the hero of whom you
ask is Agamemnon, son of Atreus, a good king and a brave soldier, brother-in-law
as surely as that he lives, to my abhorred and miserable
self."
The old man marvelled at him and said, "Happy son of Atreus, child
of good fortune. I see that the Achaeans are subject to you in great multitudes.
When I was in Phrygia I saw much horsemen, the people of Otreus and of
Mygdon, who were camping upon the banks of the river Sangarius; I was their
ally, and with them when the Amazons, peers of men, came up against them,
but even they were not so many as the Achaeans."
The old man next looked upon Ulysses; "Tell me," he said, "who
is that other, shorter by a head than Agamemnon, but broader across the
chest and shoulders? His armour is laid upon the ground, and he stalks
in front of the ranks as it were some great woolly ram ordering his
ewes."
And Helen answered, "He is Ulysses, a man of great craft, son of
Laertes. He was born in rugged Ithaca, and excels in all manner of stratagems
and subtle cunning."
On this Antenor said, "Madam, you have spoken truly. Ulysses once
came here as envoy about yourself, and Menelaus with him. I received them
in my own house, and therefore know both of them by sight and conversation.
When they stood up in presence of the assembled Trojans, Menelaus was the
broader shouldered, but when both were seated Ulysses had the more royal
presence. After a time they delivered their message, and the speech of
Menelaus ran trippingly on the tongue; he did not say much, for he was
a man of few words, but he spoke very clearly and to the point, though
he was the younger man of the two; Ulysses, on the other hand, when he
rose to speak, was at first silent and kept his eyes fixed upon the ground.
There was no play nor graceful movement of his sceptre; he kept it straight
and stiff like a man unpractised in oratory- one might have taken him for
a mere churl or simpleton; but when he raised his voice, and the words
came driving from his deep chest like winter snow before the wind, then
there was none to touch him, and no man thought further of what he looked
like."
Priam then caught sight of Ajax and asked, "Who is that great and
goodly warrior whose head and broad shoulders tower above the rest of the
Argives?"
"That," answered Helen, "is huge Ajax, bulwark of the Achaeans,
and on the other side of him, among the Cretans, stands Idomeneus looking
like a god, and with the captains of the Cretans round him. Often did Menelaus
receive him as a guest in our house when he came visiting us from Crete.
I see, moreover, many other Achaeans whose names I could tell you, but
there are two whom I can nowhere find, Castor, breaker of horses, and Pollux
the mighty boxer; they are children of my mother, and own brothers to myself.
Either they have not left Lacedaemon, or else, though they have brought
their ships, they will not show themselves in battle for the shame and
disgrace that I have brought upon them."
She knew not that both these heroes were already lying under the
earth in their own land of Lacedaemon.
Meanwhile the heralds were bringing the holy oath-offerings through
the city- two lambs and a goatskin of wine, the gift of earth; and Idaeus
brought the mixing bowl and the cups of gold. He went up to Priam and said,
"Son of Laomedon, the princes of the Trojans and Achaeans bid you come
down on to the plain and swear to a solemn covenant. Alexandrus and Menelaus
are to fight for Helen in single combat, that she and all her wealth may
go with him who is the victor. We are to swear to a solemn covenant of
peace whereby we others shall dwell here in Troy, while the Achaeans return
to Argos and the land of the Achaeans."
The old man trembled as he heard, but bade his followers yoke the
horses, and they made all haste to do so. He mounted the chariot, gathered
the reins in his hand, and Antenor took his seat beside him; they then
drove through the Scaean gates on to the plain. When they reached the ranks
of the Trojans and Achaeans they left the chariot, and with measured pace
advanced into the space between the hosts.
Agamemnon and Ulysses both rose to meet them. The attendants brought
on the oath-offerings and mixed the wine in the mixing-bowls; they poured
water over the hands of the chieftains, and the son of Atreus drew the
dagger that hung by his sword, and cut wool from the lambs' heads; this
the men-servants gave about among the Trojan and Achaean princes, and the
son of Atreus lifted up his hands in prayer. "Father Jove," he cried, "that
rulest in Ida, most glorious in power, and thou oh Sun, that seest and
givest ear to all things, Earth and Rivers, and ye who in the realms below
chastise the soul of him that has broken his oath, witness these rites
and guard them, that they be not vain. If Alexandrus kills Menelaus, let
him keep Helen and all her wealth, while we sail home with our ships; but
if Menelaus kills Alexandrus, let the Trojans give back Helen and all that
she has; let them moreover pay such fine to the Achaeans as shall be agreed
upon, in testimony among those that shall be born hereafter. Aid if Priam
and his sons refuse such fine when Alexandrus has fallen, then will I stay
here and fight on till I have got satisfaction."
As he spoke he drew his knife across the throats of the victims,
and laid them down gasping and dying upon the ground, for the knife had
reft them of their strength. Then they poured wine from the mixing-bowl
into the cups, and prayed to the everlasting gods, saying, Trojans and
Achaeans among one another, "Jove, most great and glorious, and ye other
everlasting gods, grant that the brains of them who shall first sin against
their oaths- of them and their children- may be shed upon the ground even
as this wine, and let their wives become the slaves of
strangers."
Thus they prayed, but not as yet would Jove grant them their prayer.
Then Priam, descendant of Dardanus, spoke, saying, "Hear me, Trojans and
Achaeans, I will now go back to the wind-beaten city of Ilius: I dare not
with my own eyes witness this fight between my son and Menelaus, for Jove
and the other immortals alone know which shall fall."
On this he laid the two lambs on his chariot and took his seat.
He gathered the reins in his hand, and Antenor sat beside him; the two
then went back to Ilius. Hector and Ulysses measured the ground, and cast
lots from a helmet of bronze to see which should take aim first. Meanwhile
the two hosts lifted up their hands and prayed saying, "Father Jove, that
rulest from Ida, most glorious in power, grant that he who first brought
about this war between us may die, and enter the house of Hades, while
we others remain at peace and abide by our oaths."
Great Hector now turned his head aside while he shook the helmet,
and the lot of Paris flew out first. The others took their several stations,
each by his horses and the place where his arms were lying, while Alexandrus,
husband of lovely Helen, put on his goodly armour. First he greaved his
legs with greaves of good make and fitted with ancle-clasps of silver;
after this he donned the cuirass of his brother Lycaon, and fitted it to
his own body; he hung his silver-studded sword of bronze about his shoulders,
and then his mighty shield. On his comely head he set his helmet, well-wrought,
with a crest of horse-hair that nodded menacingly above it, and he grasped
a redoubtable spear that suited his hands. In like fashion Menelaus also
put on his armour.
When they had thus armed, each amid his own people, they strode
fierce of aspect into the open space, and both Trojans and Achaeans were
struck with awe as they beheld them. They stood near one another on the
measured ground, brandishing their spears, and each furious against the
other. Alexandrus aimed first, and struck the round shield of the son of
Atreus, but the spear did not pierce it, for the shield turned its point.
Menelaus next took aim, praying to Father Jove as he did so. "King Jove,"
he said, "grant me revenge on Alexandrus who has wronged me; subdue him
under my hand that in ages yet to come a man may shrink from doing ill
deeds in the house of his host."
He poised his spear as he spoke, and hurled it at the shield of
Alexandrus. Through shield and cuirass it went, and tore the shirt by his
flank, but Alexandrus swerved aside, and thus saved his life. Then the
son of Atreus drew his sword, and drove at the projecting part of his helmet,
but the sword fell shivered in three or four pieces from his hand, and
he cried, looking towards Heaven, "Father Jove, of all gods thou art the
most despiteful; I made sure of my revenge, but the sword has broken in
my hand, my spear has been hurled in vain, and I have not killed
him."
With this he flew at Alexandrus, caught him by the horsehair plume
of his helmet, and began dragging him towards the Achaeans. The strap of
the helmet that went under his chin was choking him, and Menelaus would
have dragged him off to his own great glory had not Jove's daughter Venus
been quick to mark and to break the strap of oxhide, so that the empty
helmet came away in his hand. This he flung to his comrades among the Achaeans,
and was again springing upon Alexandrus to run him through with a spear,
but Venus snatched him up in a moment (as a god can do), hid him under
a cloud of darkness, and conveyed him to his own bedchamber.
Then she went to call Helen, and found her on a high tower with
the Trojan women crowding round her. She took the form of an old woman
who used to dress wool for her when she was still in Lacedaemon, and of
whom she was very fond. Thus disguised she plucked her by perfumed robe
and said, "Come hither; Alexandrus says you are to go to the house; he
is on his bed in his own room, radiant with beauty and dressed in gorgeous
apparel. No one would think he had just come from fighting, but rather
that he was going to a dance, or had done dancing and was sitting
down."
With these words she moved the heart of Helen to anger. When she
marked the beautiful neck of the goddess, her lovely bosom, and sparkling
eyes, she marvelled at her and said, "Goddess, why do you thus beguile
me? Are you going to send me afield still further to some man whom you
have taken up in Phrygia or fair Meonia? Menelaus has just vanquished Alexandrus,
and is to take my hateful self back with him. You are come here to betray
me. Go sit with Alexandrus yourself; henceforth be goddess no longer; never
let your feet carry you back to Olympus; worry about him and look after
him till he make you his wife, or, for the matter of that, his slave- but
me? I shall not go; I can garnish his bed no longer; I should be a by-word
among all the women of Troy. Besides, I have trouble on my
mind."
Venus was very angry, and said, "Bold hussy, do not provoke me;
if you do, I shall leave you to your fate and hate you as much as I have
loved you.
At this Helen was frightened. She wrapped her mantle about her
and went in silence, following the goddess and unnoticed by the Trojan
women.
When they came to the house of Alexandrus the maid-servants set
about their work, but Helen went into her own room, and the laughter-loving
goddess took a seat and set it for her facing Alexandrus. On this Helen,
daughter of aegis-bearing Jove, sat down, and with eyes askance began to
upbraid her husband.
"So you are come from the fight," said she; "would that you had
fallen rather by the hand of that brave man who was my husband. You used
to brag that you were a better man with hands and spear than Menelaus.
go, but I then, an challenge him again- but I should advise you not to
do so, for if you are foolish enough to meet him in single combat, you
will soon all by his spear."
And Paris answered, "Wife, do not vex me with your reproaches.
This time, with the help of Minerva, Menelaus has vanquished me; another
time I may myself be victor, for I too have gods that will stand by me.
Come, let us lie down together and make friends.  On this he led her towards the bed, and his wife
went with him.
Thus they laid themselves on the bed together; but the son of Atreus
strode among the throng, looking everywhere for Alexandrus, and no man,
neither of the Trojans nor of the allies, could find him. If they had seen
him they were in no mind to hide him, for they all of them hated him as
they did death itself. Then Agamemnon, king of men, spoke, saying, "Hear
me, Trojans, Dardanians, and allies. The victory has been with Menelaus;
therefore give back Helen with all her wealth, and pay such fine as shall
be agreed upon, in testimony among them that shall be born
hereafter."
Thus spoke the son of Atreus, and the Achaeans shouted in
applause.

Quick note :'I am 17 years old in high school fairly healthy though I been doing a lot of belladonna lately.'
Well I had purchase the smack a day before. I woke up early as I'm normally an early bird.
First I thought about where to do it. Then remembering my experiences od'n on vicodins in the steamy shower and kind of going into a hallucinatory dream state.(always is best for opiates)
Well cutting to the run I heated the heroin in water absorbed with cotton etc. then injected.
I had already had a 7mg tablet of belladonna. so it's hard to place what it felt like. At first I thought sticking the needle into my arm is best done slow but thought that it was more self torturing then that so I didnt jus shove it in but I didn't really go slow jus steadily shoved the needle in at an angle. It hurt at first though I was already looped from the belladonna, so I didn't really care. At first it burnt a little bit like a momentary thin but past in a few split seconds. I could jus feel this little discomfort like thing throughout my arm kind of like a burn I guess but not really.
Then I just sat there and I felt soooo tired suddenly I can't really explain how quickly it came. It was as though I were wading on the surface of a warm body of water and then just drifting beneath it and not being able to surface. My eyes felt really strange thou the belladonna and the heroin I'm not sure were working well together. I nodded a little every so often. Though shortly after this sort of hallucination formed. My eyes were closed but it felt like seeing with my eyes open I could see things that came to mind and focus in and out like an eagle sites its prey. When my eyes were open they felt like they acted soo strange.
At one point my sight had little a circular sort of waver thing like at the very edges of my vision. At another point I could feel my iris closing, I'm not really sure I did that on purpose though. I saw blackness in the middle and then it sort of faded out and everything went completely black I looked around sometimes breaking the blackeness and seeing and everything was black all I could see was just black pure darkness. and then I went into hallucinatory states again and again well being just so relaxed in this state. I didn't have any interference with the outside world thanks to the black out and the shower blocking out the noises. I had no feelings of fear or pain just this undescribable good feeling all over in my head and mainly in my forhead it felt really strong at first then just stronger and stronger for a minute or 3 in my forhed and then I don't really know whether it died down or not.
Well on the belladonna the hallucinations(partly the shower) seemed endless I thought I was in school then I thought I was a playing vidoe games and then I thought I was in apocalypse now lol just in and out of realities.
 At one point I thought I was gonna die but I seemed very optimistic about it. I jus was sooo ... okay with it. I felt like I wanted to die. at certain points I felt like I had stopped breathin then I crawled out of the shower feeling around. My sight came back a little then. And I crawled nausesly and dizzely over to the toilet I felt like my skin was freezing but I felt sweltering inside. Then I couldnt breathe and my heart started racing faster and faster eventually it had to be rate of way over 110
I couldnt breathe and this pressure jus kept building up all over inside my head and inside my lungs and neck and my organs all over in my upper chest. Then I could kind of see but felt okay... And the pressure kept building up and up and up and up and then as if I were vommiting my entire body did this heave like hitting a base drum and and my heart went with it BUNG blood came rushing through my mouth and my nose then BUNG again and Bung again blood rushed more and more with every not huge amounts at a time maybe about an ounce or so and it happened 3 x then I just past out the last thing I felt was my head hitting the floor and another BUNG right as I thought I was going to die and then unconsciousness.
I had one dream well there about my girl friend my first girlfriend from a year back when we were soo close and I loved the sensational dream so it seemed.
I heaved and the blood came up from my throat mostly then squabbled over to the shower and drank what water I could from the stream though dizziness was overwhelming and I was so weak I felt soo good as though I were going die but again didn't care at all. It just seemed okay .  I jus felt like cracking up but didnt have the air or energy. I lay there passing in and out of reality and death you could say in and out in and out drinking what water I could and shivering on the floor for an hour or 3 with no one to come home for 1 week I lay all alone on the floor wasted to the point of life's exhaustion.

Some of you may know that Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Olympic Games and that the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee (VANOC) has been under fire for booting the impoverished out of the downtown eastside to make the streets pretty for the impending tourist influx. You may also have heard of anti-poverty activist David Cunningham, who threatened to symbolically evict all the board members of VANOC from their plush homes by camping on their lawn and performing some kind of ritual. Well, the VANOC members didn’t appreciate that and pressed charges, which led to this latest development.
 Give me a break. Have the Vancouver police no integrity whatsoever? The editor-in-chief of 24-Hours is rightly miffed, according to this article, where he says that these sorts of ploys undermine trust in the media and destroy credibility. What was that cop thinking? He obviously thought 24-Hours doesn’t have enough independent clout to adopt an anti-police stance in their editorial, and he’s probably right. But that doesn’t mean other media aren’t going to have a field day with this one.


Class 03: Standard Template Library
01-13-2020
“Don’t reinvent the wheel!”
STL is a collection of libraries of C++ that we can use in the contests. It gives us common data structures (array, stack, set, priority_queue, map, …), common algorithms (sort, next_permutation, binary_search, lower_bound, upper_bound), common functions (input-output (I/O), sqrt, pow, abs, min, max, …)
First of all, lets understand what happens in a simple hello world program.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "Hello World!" << '\n';
return 0;
}
(The explanation will be given in class)
Extra: You can also practice competitive programming in other languages.
Examples:
But, as mentioned in the first class, C++ is usually better for its efficiency and simplicity.
Tipos de datos enteros
int
\([-2^{31}, 2^{31}) \approx [-10^9, 10^9]\)long long
\([-2^{63}, 2^{63}) \approx [-10^{18}, 10^{18}]\)
Tipos de datos flotantes
- float
- double
- long double
Operaciones aritméticas
- addition: x + y
- subtraction: x - y
- multiplication: x * y (what happen if \(x = y = 10^9\) and
x
andy
areint
?) - division: x / y (take care if
x
,y
areint
and you want the result infloat
) - exponenciation: pow(x, y) (the output is in
double
) - module: a % b (what happen if
b
is zero? why?)
Order or precedence
\[int < long\ long < float < double < long\ double\]
Examples:
int x = 1;
long long y = 8;
auto z = x + y; // long long
int x = 1;
float y = 8;
auto z = x + y; // float
Another useful data type is string
.
In cplusplus.com you will find a reference of how to work with strings.
string s;
// input
cin >> s; // In the same way you can read a int, long long, float, ...
// You can iterate it in this way
for (int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++) {
// s[i]: get the i-th element
cout << s[i] << '\n'; // In the same way you can output a int, long long, float, ...
}
s[2] = 'b'; // modify the element in position 2
// You can also print the whole string
cout << s << '\n';
// Yout can also iterate in this way
for (char elem: s) {
cout << elem;
}
cout << '\n'; // what happen without this line ?
s += 'a'; // you can add append a letter or string
cout << s.substr(2, 2) << '\n'; // what does this function do ?
// The comparisson is like this (take care of not using just one '=' )
if (s == "hola") cout << "ok" << '\n';
You will need a vector in almost all of your contests, so its very important to know how to use it.
In cplusplus.com you will find a reference of how to work with vectors.
vector <int> arr;
// Add a element to the end of the vector - O(1)
arr.push_back(123);
arr.push_back(987);
arr.push_back(343);
arr.push_back(134);
arr.push_back(345);
// Delete the last element - O(1)
arr.pop_back();
// Insert a element in the i-th position - O(n)
int i = 2;
arr.insert(begin(arr) + i, 234);
// Delete a element in the i-th position - O(n)
i = 1;
arr.erase(begin(arr) + i);
// Copy the vector - O(n)
vector <int> arrCopy = arr;
// We can iterate a vector in this way
for (int arr_i: arr) {
// do something
}
// We can also use 'auto'
for (auto elem: arr) {
cout << elem << '\n';
}
// We can also iterate in this way
// arr.size() returns the number of element of the vector - O(1)
for (int i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++) {
// arr[i]: get the i-th element - O(1)
cout << arr[i] << '\n';
}
// Delete all the elements - O(n)
arr.clear();
You can find the more common methods of vectors and its complexity in this image.
A deque gives us all the methods of a vector and two more:
push_front: insert a element in the begining O(1)
pop_front: erase the first element O(1)
Read what these functions do:
Question: How would you declare a matrix ?
In cplusplus.com you will find a reference of how to work with sets.
set <int> S;
// Insert a element - O(log n)
S.insert(3);
S.insert(4);
S.insert(-100);
S.insert(-345);
// The elements are stored in ascending order
for (auto x: S) {
cout << x << endl;
}
// Check if a element is in the set - O(log n)
if (S.count(4) > 0) {
cout << "4 is in S\n";
}
// You can also check that using the method find
if (S.find(4) != end(S)) {
cout << "4 is in S" << endl;
}
// Delete a elemento - O(log n)
S.erase(4);
// You can also delete in this way
S.erase(S.find(-100));
// If we store the iterator - O(log n)
// auto it = S.find(val) - O(log n)
// Then we can erase the element - O(1)
// S.erase(it)
You can find the more common methods of sets and its complexity in this image.
Read about multisets.
In cplusplus.com you will find a reference of how to work with maps.
map <string, int> my_map;
// Insert a element - O(log n)
my_map["hola"] = 1;
my_map["mundo"] = 5;
// The elements are stored in ascending order
for (auto x: my_map) {
cout << x.first << ' ' << x.second << endl;
}
// Check if a element is in the map - O(log n)
if (my_map.count("hola") > 0) {
cout << "4 is in my_map\n";
}
// You can also check that using the method find
if (my_map.find("hola") != end(my_map)) {
cout << "4 is in my_map" << endl;
}
my_map["hola"] = 10;
for (auto x: my_map) {
cout << x.first << ' ' << x.second << '\n';
}
// Delete a elemento - O(log n)
my_map.erase("hola");
// You can also delete in this way
my_map.erase(my_map.find("mundo"));
// If we store the iterator - O(log n)
// auto it = my_map.find(val) - O(log n)
// Then we can erase the element - O(1)
// my_map.erase(it)
The complexity of its operations is the same of a set.
With a struct
we can create our own data type which can encapsulate other data types.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
struct MyStructure {
// we can declare attributes of different types
int var1;
double var2;
string var3;
MyStructure (int var1, double var2, string _var3):
var1(var1),
var2(var2) { // we can initialize the variables in this way
var3 = _var3; // ot in this way
}
void my_method () {
cout << var1 << ' ' << var2 << ' ' << var3 << '\n';
}
};
int main () {
MyStructure structure(18, 20.7, "hello world!");
structure.my_method(); // cal a method
structure.var1 = 19; // access an attribute
cout << structure.var3 << '\n';
return (0);
}

C: Shuffle Hashing
Problem C: Shuffle Hashing
If you can construct h
from p
, then \(\exists s_1, s_2, q \mid h = s_1 + q + s_2\)
Then \(h[n:n + m] = q\) where n
is the length \(s_1\) and m
the length ofp
. Then \(sort(h[n:n + m]) = sort(p)\). So, we just need to check if that is true for some value of \(n\).
Code
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define all(A) begin(A), end(A)
#define rall(A) rbegin(A), rend(A)
#define sz(A) int(A.size())
#define pb push_back
#define mp make_pair
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;
typedef pair <int, int> pii;
int main () {
ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(0);
int tc;
cin >> tc;
while (tc--) {
string p, h;
cin >> p >> h;
bool ok = false;
sort(all(p));
for (int i = 0; i < sz(h); i++) {
string x = h.substr(i, sz(p));
sort(all(x));
if (x == p) ok = true;
}
if (ok) cout << "YES\n";
else cout << "NO\n";
}
return (0);
}
D: Free spots
Problem D: Free spots
For each test we can create a matrix of booleans initialized of false’s. Then, for each query \(x_1, y_1, x_2, y_3\) we set to true every element of the matrix in position \((r, c) \mid x_1 \leq r \leq x_2 \land y_1 \leq c \leq y_2\), assumming \(x_1 \leq x_2 \land y_1 \leq y_2\). So, after processing every query, the answer is the number of elements that are false.
Code
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define all(A) begin(A), end(A)
#define rall(A) rbegin(A), rend(A)
#define sz(A) int(A.size())
#define pb push_back
#define mp make_pair
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;
typedef pair <int, int> pii;
int main () {
ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(0);
int w, h, n;
while (cin >> w >> h >> n) {
if (w == 0 and h == 0 and n == 0) break;
vector <vector <bool>> vis(w + 1, vector <bool> (h + 1, false));
while (n--) {
int x1, y1, x2, y2;
cin >> x1 >> y1 >> x2 >> y2;
for (int r = min(x1, x2); r <= max(x1, x2); r++) {
for (int c = min(y1, y2); c <= max(y1, y2); c++) {
vis[r][c] = true;
}
}
}
int cnt = 0;
for (int r = 1; r <= w; r++) {
for (int c = 1; c <= h; c++) {
if (!vis[r][c]) cnt++;
}
}
if (cnt == 0) cout << "There is no empty spots.\n";
else if (cnt == 1) cout << "There is one empty spot." << '\n';
else cout << "There are " << cnt << " empty spots.\n";
}
return (0);

Dudley Do-Right (PG) No Stars Starring Brendan Fraser, Alfred Molina Directed by Hugh Wilson A Review by Frankie Paiva
There are many types of children's films. Some are designed to entertain the parent while enchanting the child as well, some are targeted straight for the kiddies and avoid any chance of good entertainment for adults, and there are some (much like Dudley Do-Right) that manage to turn off both groups because it's incredibly bad. Sticking straighter to the formula than I thought possible, Brendan Fraser returns as a 60s cartoon character in the worst remake of the year.
Dudley (Fraser) has always dreamed of being a Canadian Mountie, the dim-witted fellow finally gets his wish and begins to govern the sweet mountain town of Semi-Happy Valley. When Snidley Whiplash (Molina) decides to dump gold that he stole from a bank, into the town stream and declare a gold rush to help bring profit to the town, Dudley must step forward and save the day. It's also a quest for his true love, somehow Nell (Sarah Jessica Parker) has fallen into the wrong man's arms and it's Dudley's duty to save her.
Confused as Whiplash changes his role from good guy to bad guy (?) Dudley turns into a bad guy because as the narrator points out, good guys can do bad things to capture bad people (?.) It all leads to a final showdown between the Mounties and the Whiplash bunch.
First of all, the film as a star vehicle for Brendan Fraser does not work. Both him and Sarah Jessica Parker have less screen time than Snidley Whiplash combined and Dudley says no more than 200 words.  The film also manages to be flat out not funny, none of the jokes made even the nine year old with her Beanie Babies next to me laugh.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: There is one portion of the film, 8 seconds to be exact that contains a joke worth seeing, I will now save you the $7.50 admission ticket: "Scientists report today that Canadian bacon is actually ham."
The Young-Uns: The film is aimed right at kids and contains mild language and some bare male chests. Good Age: 5-11

The Mark of Zorro (1920)
Grade: 67
"The Mark of Zorro" is a silent epic starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. It is a good film with plenty of action, and decent comic relief, but the characters (except Fairbanks') lack the depth that is required of a better film.
Don Diego Vega (Fairbanks) has returned to California after many years in Spain. He is vaguely discourteous, perpetually fatigued, and particularly fond of his handkerchief. His stereotypical father (Sidney de Gray) disapproves of his character and idle lifestyle.
 Zorro is easily the most skillful and smartest swashbuckler in California, and enjoys humiliating the local soldiers, especially Sergeant Gonzales (Noah Beery).
de Gray orders his son to woo Marguerite de la Motte, whose family is unfairly repressed by the Governor (George Periolat). However, she prefers Zorro, who makes regular appearances to ward off obnoxious suitor Robert McKim.
"The Mark of Zorro" is at its best when Fairbanks is playing Don Diego Vega. Fairbanks is known for his action roles, and it is a pleasant change to see him in a comic relief role. Vega's feeble courtship with de la Motte is entertaining. Fairbanks as Zorro is a laughing, mocking, smoking tormentor.
"The Mark of Zorro" was filmed in black and white, of course, but made frequent use of tinted lenses. Various scenes have red, green or blue tints, depending upon whether the scene takes place in daylight, at night, or indoors. I have not seen enough early silent features to know if this was a common technique, but it was no longer used by the mid-1920s.

GET_ROBUST_LIST
Section: Linux System Calls (2)Updated: 8 August 2006
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
get_robust_list, set_robust_list - get/set the list of robust futexesSYNOPSIS
#include <linux/futex.h> #include <syscall.h> long get_robust_list(int pid, struct robust_list_head **head_ptr, size_t *len_ptr); long set_robust_list(struct robust_list_head *head, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The robust futex implementation needs to maintain per-thread lists of robustfutexes which are unlocked when the thread exits. These lists are managed in user space, the kernel is only notified about the location of the head of the list.
get_robust_list returns the head of the robust futex list of the thread with TID defined by the pid argument. If pid is 0, the returned head belongs to the current thread. head_ptr is the pointer to the head of the list of robust futexes. The get_robust_list function stores the address of the head of the list here. len_ptr is the pointer to the length variable. get_robust_list stores sizeof(**head_ptr) here.
set_robust_list sets the head of the list of robust futexes owned by the current thread to head. len is the size of *head.
RETURN VALUE
The set_robust_list and get_robust_list functions return zero when the operation is successful, an error code otherwise.ERRORS
The set_robust_list function fails with EINVAL if the len value does not match the size of structure struct robust_list_head expected by kernel.The get_robust_list function fails with EPERM if the current process does not have permission to see the robust futex list of the thread with the TID pid, ESRCH if a thread with the TID pid does not exist, or EFAULT if the head of the robust futex list can't be stored in the space specified by the head argument.
APPLICATION USAGE
A thread can have only one robust futex list; therefore applications that wish to use this functionality should use robust mutexes provided by glibc.The system call is only available for debugging purposes and is not needed for normal operations.
Both system calls are not available to application programs as functions; they can be called using the syscall(3) function.

About P2P Loans
P2P Loans
is an institutions created to bring about or to make it easier for our users to take advantage of a peer to peer financial solutions, some of which are peer to peer loans/lending and peer to peer funding.
This allows ordinary individuals to take control of their finances without being dependent on banks and institutions that are or can be said that they are failing the common man on the street.Peer to Peer Lending
What is Peer to Peer Lending, well let us just take a look at a description of peer to peer lending from WikiPedia
Peer-to-peer lending, sometimes abbreviated P2P Lending, is the practice of lending money to individuals or businesses through online services that match lenders directly with borrowers.
Since the peer-to-peer lending companies offering these services operate entirely online, they can run with lower overhead and provide the service more cheaply than traditional financial institutions.As a result, lenders often earn higher returns compared to savings and investment products offered by banks, while borrowers can borrow money at lower interest rates, even after the P2P Lending Company has taken a fee for providing the match-making platform and credit checking the borrower.
Also known as Crowd Lending, many peer-to-peer loans are unsecured personal loans, though some of the largest amounts are lent to businesses.
Secured Loans are sometimes offered by using luxury assets such as jewelry, watches, vintage cars, fine art, buildings, aircraft and other business assets as collateral. They are made to an individual, company or charity.Other forms of peer-to-peer lending include student loans, commercial and real estate loans, payday loans, as well as secured business loans, leasing, and factoring.
The interest rates can be set by lenders who compete for the lowest rate on the reverse auction model or fixed by the intermediary company on the basis of an analysis of the borrower's credit.
The lender's investment in the loan is not normally protected by any government guarantee.
On some services, lenders mitigate the risk of bad debt by choosing which borrowers to lend to, and mitigate total risk by diversifying their investments among different borrowers.
Other models involve the P2P lending company maintaining a separate, ringfenced fund, such as RateSetter's Provision Fund, which pays lenders back in the event the borrower defaults, but the value of such provision funds for lenders is subject to debate.[3]
Bankruptcy of the peer-to-peer lending company that facilitated the loan may also put a lender's investment at risk, as has happened in 2015 in the case of TrustBuddy.
The lending intermediaries are for-profit businesses; they generate revenue by collecting a one-time fee on funded loans from borrowers and by assessing a loan servicing fee to investors (tax-disadvantaged in the UK vs charging borrowers) or borrowers (either a fixed amount annually or a percentage of the loan amount).
Compared to stock markets, peer-to-peer lending tends to have both less volatility and less liquidity.[4]

A human IFNGR1 small deletion hotspot associated with dominant susceptibility to mycobacterial infection[ see comments] The immunogenetic basis of severe infections caused by bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine and environmental mycobacteria in humans remains largely unknown.
Abstract
We describe 18 patients from several generations of 12 unrelated families who were heterozygous for 1 to 5 overlapping IFNGR1 frameshift small deletions and a wild-type IFNGR1 allele. There were 12 independent mutation events at a single mutation site, defining a small deletion hotspot. Neighbouring sequence analysis favours a small deletion model of slipped mispairing events during replication. The mutant alleles encode cell-surface IFNgamma receptors that lack the intra-cytoplasmic domain, which, through a combination of impaired recycling, abrogated signalling and normal binding to IFNgamma exert a dominant-negative effect. We thus report a hotspot for human IFNGR1 small deletions that confer dominant susceptibility to infections caused by poorly virulent mycobacteria.
