A Java framework for fast, safe, cheap message passing.
The message passing (MP) paradigm is often seen as a superior alternative to the typical mix of idioms in concurrent (shared-memory, locks) and distributed programming (CORBA/RMI). MP eliminates worries endemic to the shared-memory mindset: lock ordering, failure-coupling, low-level data races and memory models. It simplifies synchronization between data and control planes (no lost signals or updates), and unifies APIs for local and remote process interaction.
Curiously however, there are no efficient _and_ safe frameworks for intra-process message-passing, except for Ada and Erlang. The Kilim framework is intended to fix this state of affairs. It provides:
Kilim is portable; one of our explicit goals was to not require changes to the Java language syntax or to the JVM.
Kilim scales comfortably to handle hundreds of thousands of actors and messages on modest hardware. It is fast as well -- task-switching is 1000x faster than Java threads and 60x faster than other lightweight tasking frameworks, and message-passing is 3x faster than Erlang (currently the gold standard for concurrency-oriented programming).
The term "Kilim" refers to a class of rugs in a number of middle-eastern and central european countries. Kilims are light and are flat-woven with thin threads (as opposed to deep-pile carpets).
The first few pages of the ECOOP'08 paper give an overview of the facilities and the programming model.
Take a look at the examples to get an idea. The only important classes to begin with are kilim.Task and kilim.Mailbox.
Let's start with conventional thread programming. This is how you create your own thread in Java.
class MyThread extends Thread { public void run() { } }
And spawn a thread thus:
new MyThread().start();
Now, if you replace the words "Thread" with "Task", "run" with
"execute" and add an @pausable
annotation to execute()
, you have a
Kilim Task. Simple.
import kilim.*; public class MyTask extends Task { @pausable public void execute() { } }and to start it, you say
new MyTask().start()
A method marked pausable is one that calls another pausable method; the built-in ones are Task.yield() and Task.sleep() (mailbox.get() calls Task.yield()).
The only difference is that you can spawn a million of these without turning your computer into a room heater. These tasks get executed on a thread pool.
Mailboxes are the medium of communication between tasks. They are typed buffers that can have at most one consumer task waiting on it at any point in time, but multiple producers are allowed. Mailboxes are not owned by anyone (unlike Erlang's process mailbox). They can be static fields, instance variables, local variables .. it is your design choice. They can even be sent as part of messages themselves, which can make for an extremely dynamic and mobile topology.
Creating a mailbox:
// This mailbox only allows Strings Mailbox <String> mb = new Mailbox<String>();
Sending and receiving messages:
mb.put("hello"); String s = mb.get();
These two methods block the task (not the java Thread) when they are
unable to perform the operation. How does one know ? They are marked
@pausable
.
mailbox.getnb()
and putnb()
are the non-blocking versions: they are
not pausable, and they return quickly.
mailbox.getb()
and putb are the *thread*-blocking versions. Use them if you want to wait for a message but cannot make the calling method
pausable (like main()
, for example). You shouldn't be using these
inside a task.
First, the lightweight thread part.
This package comes with a bytecode transformation tool called Weaver (package: kilim.tools.Weaver) that post-processes .class files looking for the @pausable annotation.
When a task needs to block (or "pause", calling Task.sleep()
, for
example), the task unwinds its stack, squirrels away all state that
it'll need later on resumption. This unwinding and rewinding the
stack is automatically performed by the code introduced by the Weaver.
(Debug information is adjusted so that the transformed code can be
debugged inside eclipse)
The transformation is a variation of continuation passing style; the details are in the paper entitled "A Thread of Ones Own" presented at the Workshop on New Horizons in Compilers (2006). A simple introduction to CPS is in the accompanying IFAQ.txt.
Build the sources by running ant (or build.sh) at the topmost level.
To manually compile a kilim task (say kilim.examples.SimpleTask),
Now, compile (into "./classes")
javac -d ./classes ./examples/kilim/examples/SimpleTask.java
Weave the class (and overwrite it).
java kilim.tools.Weaver -d ./classes kilim.examples.SimpleTask
Run it like any regular java program.
java -cp ./classes kilim.examples.SimpleTask
Create a million tasks just for the heck of it.
Try java kilim.bench.LotsOfTasks 1000000
(Notice the JIT's effect after the first round)
You can supply a different directory for the weaver's output, but remember to include that directory in the classpath before the original, otherwise you will "class not woven" errors at run time.
NOTE: It is safer (and convenient) to supply the entire directory to weave, like this:
java kilim.tools.Weave -d ./classes ./classes ^^^^^^^^^^That eliminates the chances of mistakenly omitting to weave inner and anonymous classes.
Loading kilim under eclipse is like any other java project.
Select File -> New -> Java Project
"Create project from existing source"
.There is no plugin (yet) to run the weaver automatically; you will have to run the weaver separately in the command line. If you are changing the kilim examples, you can just run "build.sh" or "ant" from the command line once the project's been created.
Debugging and profiling should work as usual.
The immediate future release will include the type system for process isolation and then, remote mailboxes for distributed programming.
Suggestions most welcome and will be duly acknowledged.

Introduction
GreenForce-Player is a portable alternative media player, with many additional features.
One of these features is to protect media files.
You can encrypt your audio and video files with a password and protect them against screenshots.
An other nice feature is the coverflow. It allows you to start playback by clicking on the cover of your favorite music.
Last but not least, there is a cache system. It is used to reduce usage of your hard disc.
The software has been developed for Windows. It was tested with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
GFP is easy to install and use and ist therefore ideal for beginners. However, there are also advanced features for professional usage. It suits perfectly on USB sticks, because it is compact, portable and does not require an installations. You just need to copy one single executable with a size of 3.5MB on the stick (just GreenForce-Player.exe is required).

Installation
The GreenForce-Player does not need an installation. It requires only the GreenForce-Player.exe.
Therefore it is ideal for use on a portable media like an USB stick.
The file extension ".gfp" will be registered automatically at the first start of the application. Additionally the protocol "gfp://" will be available to open media files directly from the browser (e.g. with an url like gfp://www.your-domain.tld/your-video.gfp). This allows streaming of media files via the HTTP protocol.
Note that despite the name of the protocol it can be also used to stream unencrypted media files (e.g. gfp://www.your-domain.tld/your-video.wmv is also possible). Internally "gfp://" will be replaced by "http://".
There is also an Installer available which will create additional entries in the program menu and on the desktop.
Play a media file
You can load media files with the menu item "Load" or you can use the Drag and Drop function.
It is also possible to use playlists where you can load media files from. The video/audio will play automatically.
The supported audio and video formats depend on installed codecs of the operating system. There is a build in support for .ogg and .flac files.
Organize playlists
To use a playlist choose the menu item "Playlist" in the menu "Media".
There are the following commands in the toolbar.
Playlists can be organized with the following functionality:
Coverflow
To use the coverflow choose the menu item "Coverflow" in the menu "Media".
You need a playlist to use it, because the coverflow shows all files from all playlists.
The coverflow has two different modes to presentation the covers "2D" and "3D".
Protect a media file
To protect a media file with a password choose the menu item "Protect media" in the menu "DRM".
You must set the password, source file (the media file which should be protected) and the destination file.
For the password you can set a tip/hint to help you remembering your password.
You can also set tags and a cover (.bmp, .jpg, .jp2, .png, .tga and .tiff) for your protected media file.
By default password protected media files are protected against screenshots. All options regarding portection can be found on the tab "Protection".
Beside the "Disallow screenshots" option there is an additional option to enforce screenshot protection. This can be done by deselecting the checkbox "Not enforce screenshot protection".
Note that this could completly prevent playback of the media file if the operating system does not fit the requirements (e.g. old operating systems, virtual machines). But keep in mind that this will be no 100% solution to protect the content. It is still possible to make a photography of the monitor with a camera.
Further possiblities are setting an expire date for the protected media file or allowing it to run only on a certain machine (possible by setting the "Machine ID" field).
A really nifty option is to create a standalone EXE file which includes the player and the protected media file.
To do this, you just need to check "add player to the media file". The big advantage then is that you do not need to have GreenForce Player installed to play the protected media. All necessary files are directly included in the prtected file (however a codec is still required on the system).
Creating a standalone EXE file also allows you to choose your own icon of the executable. The icon must be an .ico file. You can also additional command line parameters to your standalone executable (e.g. /fullscreen to start your protected media file in fullscreen mode). Just click on the "?" button to list possible parameters.
If this sounds interesting to you also download the GreenForce Player SDK, there you will find an additional tools. The SDK includes a tool to automate crateion of .gfp files, a tool to create executables with can contain more than one media file in one executable and many more interesting tools.
Options
To change the options of the player choose the menu item "Options" in the menu "File".
Language
Here you can select the language of the player.
Loglevel
The loglevel has three different options:
"None" Nothing will be logged.
"Error" Errors will be logged.
"Debug" Debug info and errors will be logged, use this option to report a bug.
You will find log files in the path "%APPDATA%\GF-Player".
Only show in systray when minimized
This options influence that the player isn't in your taskbar if its minimized.
You can control it over the systray.
Automatic updates
If this option is selected the player checks at every program start the latest version.
If there are updates it will install it automatically.
Single instance
This means the player can be opened only once at one time.
If you load another media file it will use the existing instance of the player.
Video renderer
If you have problems with the presentation of videos you can test another renderer.
Audio renderer
If you have problems with the audio of the player, you can test another audio renderer.
Size of RAM cache
This is the maximal size(in MB) of all media files that will cached in the RAM.
Size of RAM cache per file
This is the maximal size(in MB) of a file for the RAM cache. Do not use to huge values here because this will result in longer loading times.
We recommend to use values between 10 and 30 MB.
Snapshot path
Here you can select the path where the snapshots will be saved.
Snapshot format
Here you can choose the format of the snapshots (.jpg, .png, .jpeg2000)
Background color
The color of the video background.
Theme
You can choose a theme/iconset for the main window of the player (Default, Classic, Basic, Black, Gray).

Your Friends and Neighbors
[2.5/4.0]
Jerry is a drama professor and his wife, Terri, is a writer working in advertising. Their relationship has become tenuous, as highlighted by the fact that he feels the need to continuously talk and she desires silence, particularly during sex. As a result, Jerry has decided to pursue Mary, who is the wife of his friend Barry. Their relationship is also strained, since her frigidity is squelching his amorousness. Meanwhile, Jerry and Barry have another friend, Cary, who is not in a relationship. This is very understandable since he is an emotionally sadistic jerk who is only interested in control and domination. The final character in the story is Cheri, an artist's assistant whom Terri meets in a gallery and develops a sexual relationship as a response to Jerry's infidelity.
The film is an examination of the characters and the often brutal nature of relationships. Sex is pervasive in the story, but it is not gratuitous, because the physical intimacy experienced by partners reflects a deeper emotional connection, and these are what the characters are missing. This is not limited to just the couples. The three male characters have an enduring friendship, but there are subtle homosexual overtones even here, as witnessed by their locker room behavior.
The title of the film and the fact all the characters have similar, rhyming names is a suggestion that these characters reflect the actual relationships of actual people we may know. Indeed, even the close friends in this story often do not see what transpires below the surface of the complex relationships of their own friends and neighbors. The writing and acting are well developed, as the characters are more than flat stereotypes. The main weakness of the film is a lack of involvement in the story. As we are watching the story of the characters, there is the feeling that we are detachedly watching a laboratory experiment and waiting for its outcome. There is no sense of involvement or empathy with the characters. Perhaps it is because most of the characters are multi-dimensional and flawed, but this is not a handicap for a well made film (like "Happiness").
Moderately recommended. This is a dreary story of the difficulty of relationships. Although it has good material to work with and the characters are well drawn, it lacks the engaging quality that most good character dramas have.

I use imageshack
Used to use Photobucket, but after some troubling issues with scaling that I was too lazy to fix, imageshack was my next go-to site, and it's been working great for me. |

Despite using photobucket for most things out of habit, generally like imgur better. You can upload larger images and its site layout is less fugly.

I don't see why people say Photobucket is slow. Every image I upload is completely uploaded before the advertisement even has time to load... save for a few really large files I've tried to upload... and I don't use IE. Plus Photobucket keeps everything I upload in my personal album. It's a good place to go if I wanna quickly show someone something I've made in the past. Also I could organize my images into specific albums if I wasn't too lazy. But I hear Imigur doesn't let you do that... though I've never used it myself. Isn't it true though that you don't use a personal account with Imigur? That's why you have to use it with the contests, cuz it's anonymous... And I thought Tumblr was a social network but I've never used that one either so.... |

I tend to use Imgur simply because it's faster.
It does have a horrible tendency to not work though. |

I despise Photobucket with a passion. I've used Imgur for emergencies and I did prefer Imageshack until it did added a 500 image limit. Photobucket decreases the quality in my images so that's definitely a no-no for me.

RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2001 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
Help me out with something that I just don't get. Why would people pay movie ticket prices for films that are nothing more than another episode of a television cartoon series that they could stay at home and see for nothing? I can understand this if the movie, and the series on which it is based, has some edge, as did RUGRATS IN PARIS. But RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT is about as generic a kids' movie as you're likely to find. There's not much to laugh at and barely enough material even to keep the viewers awake. It's harmless enough, but watching a blank wall is also pretty benign, so its lack of offensive material hardly serves as a recommendation.
RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT is the type of movie that sets your mind to worrying about the strangest things. I became concerned that a wind might hit the screen. If it did, the characters, which are drawn to look as flat as paper dolls, would certainly all blow down, leaving us with no actors for the story. Now that would undoubtedly upset the youngsters in the audience. Actually the kids in our audience were so quiet I began to wonder if they had fallen asleep.
The completely forgettable story concerns a renegade ex-principal, Dr. Philliam Benedict (James Woods), who sets up a covert operation one summer at Third Street School. The nefarious Dr. Benedict, with the help of a huge laser, has a plan to abolish summer vacation. Theodore 'T.J.' Detweiler (Andrew Lawrence) and his buddies are out to thwart the evil educator and save playtime for kids all over America.
Most of the script is as bland as Saturday cartoons, but a few lines are good ("Technically, after the completion of fourth grade, we are pre-young adults." and "I got to warn you. I'm a black belt in origami.").
There is one saving grace for adults: the music -- high-energy, classic rock tunes, including "Born To Be Wild," "Dancing In The Street," "Wipe Out," "One" and "Let The Sunshine In." It's about the only thing that will keep most of them awake. Buy the CD. Skip the movie. If your kids want to see RECESS, let them watch it on television.
RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT runs 1:24. It is rated G and has nothing to offend anyone of any age.
My son Jeffrey, almost 12, gave the movie ** 1/2. He thought the plot and characters needed improvement. His buddy Maxim, age 12, gave it **, saying that he liked the fighting part the best. Both of them said that they really liked the soundtrack but didn't like the hippie period flashback. (I especially liked that scene, but I was at Berkeley in the 60s so it brought back good memories.)

What's the deal with Git, Github, and version control
and why should I care
Dec 14 2014
If you're new to programming, you may wonder about the difference between "Git" and "GitHub." I know I did. Actually this isn't a case like the whole England/Britain/United Kingdom thing -- where the differences exist but are fuzzy and complicated by the fact that many people use the terms interchangeably. The difference between Git and GitHub is absolutely crystal clear. Git is a software program. It runs on your computer and allows you to do version control when writing code. What is version control? Think of it as saved games. Code can be complicated, and it's easy to mess it up. If you do mess it up, you can go back to a previous version using Git. Git also allows you to push changes up for merge into the master code, and track those changes. So what is GitHub? First off, GitHub is awesome. As opposed to being a software program on your computer, like Git, GitHub is a website that allows for version control among a ton of different people working on the same project. GitHub can talk to Git on a bunch of different computers if the owners of those computers set up "remotes" which connect their computers to GitHub. The power of GitHub as a "social coding" site is huge.

NAME
bpkg-rep-info
– print repository information
SYNOPSIS
bpkg rep-info [options]
rep-loc
DESCRIPTION
The rep-info
command prints various information about
the specified repository. By default it print the repository's name and
location as the first line. If the repository is signed, the certificate
information (name/organization/email) is printed as the next line followed
by the certificate fingerprint. Then comes the list of complement and
prerequisite repositories followed by the list of available packages.
This default format can be altered in various ways using options listed
below. Note also that the information is written to
stdout
, not stderr
.
If the current working directory contains a bpkg
configuration, then rep-info
will use its certificate
database for the repository authentication. That is, it will trust the
repository's certificate if it is already trusted by the configuration.
Otherwise it will add the certificate to the configuration if you confirm it
is trusted. You can specify an alternative configuration directory with the
--directory|-d
option. To disable using the
configuration in the current working directory pass this option with an
empty path.
REP-INFO OPTIONS
--name
|-n
- Print the repository's name and location.
--cert-fingerprint
- Print the repository's certificate fingerprint or empty line if the
repository is unsigned.
--cert-name
- Print the repository's certificate common name (CN) or empty line if
the repository is unsigned.
--cert-organization
- Print the repository's certificate organization name (O) or empty line
if the repository is unsigned.
--cert-email
- Print the repository's certificate email or empty line if the
repository is unsigned.
--repositories
|-r
- Print the list of complement and prerequisite repositories.
--packages
|-p
- Print the list of available packages.
--manifest
- Instead of printing the information in the human-readable form, dump
it (to
stdout
) as manifest(s). Normally you would use
this option in combination with --packages|-p
or
--repositories|-r
to only dump one of the manifests.
If the --deep
option is specified, then in the
resulting packages manifest the *-file
values are
replaced with the contents of the referenced files. See also
--repositories-file
and
--packages-file
.
--deep
- Verify files referenced by the
*-file
manifest
values.
--repositories-file
path
- If
--manifest
is specified, then save the
repositories manifest to the specified file instead of dumping it to
stdout
.
--packages-file
path
- If
--manifest
is specified, then save the packages
manifest to the specified file instead of dumping it to
stdout
.
--type
type
- Specify the repository type with valid values being
pkg
, dir
, and
git
. Refer to bpkg-rep-add(1)
for
details.
--directory
|-d
dir
- Use configuration in
dir
for the trusted
certificate database.
COMMON OPTIONS
The common options are summarized below with a more detailed description
available in bpkg-common-options(1)
.
-v

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き o-konomi-yaki?) (About this sound listen (help·info)) is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "how you like" or "what you like", and yaki meaning "grill"
(cf. yakitori and yakisoba). Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with the Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. Tokyo okonomiyaki is usually smaller
than a Hiroshima or Kansai okonomiyaki.

An outbreak of influenza in an all-boys boarding school.
Data are recorded from a 1978 flu outbreak in a closed population. The variable ‘B’ refers to boys confined to bed on the corresponding day and ‘C’ to boys in convalescence, i.e., not yet allowed back to class. In total, 763 boys were at risk of infection and, over the course of the outbreak, 512 boys spent between 3 and 7 days away from class (either in bed or convalescent). The index case was a boy who arrived at school from holiday six days before the next case.

TANSTAAFL

--------------
**TANSTAAFL**: /tan´stah·fl/
[acronym, from Robert Heinlein's classic SF novel *The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress*.] “There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”, often invoked
when someone is balking at the prospect of using an unpleasantly
`*heavyweight* <../H/heavyweight.html>`__ technique, or at the poor
quality of some piece of software, or at the `*signal-to-noise
ratio* <../S/signal-to-noise-ratio.html>`__ of unmoderated Usenet
newsgroups. “What? Don't tell me I have to implement a database back end
to get my address book program to work!” “Well, TANSTAAFL you know.”
This phrase owes some of its popularity to the high concentration of
science-fiction fans and political libertarians in hackerdom (see
`Appendix B <../appendixb.html>`__ for discussion).
Outside hacker circles the variant TINSTAAFL (“There is No Such
Thing...”) is apparently more common, and can be traced back to 1952 in
the writings of ethicist Alvin Hansen. TANSTAAFL may well have arisen
from it by mutation.
