Cruisy Restrooms
"The incidence of male toilet contacts has never been tabulated, a fantastic undertaking at the very least. It has only just become known and recognized in medical circles as a definite, separate area of male sexual behavior."
"Perhaps many marriages have been saved by this less than notorious patronage of a recognized house of prostitution. On the other hand, who knows how many contracts have been damaged by the availability and clandestine sexual hysteria manufactured in these cubicles of strange delight?"
"Strangely enough, you rarely encounter a less than sizable organ. That comes with the anonymity of the [glory] hole. You don't need a beautiful face, a fantastic body, or tons of money.  Many participants are downright unattractive and the only time they get to exploit themselves and feel free from ridicule, is in the confessional of a toilet booth."
-- "Headhunters: A Complete Study of Sexual Practices in Public Restrooms by the Male Homosexual", c. 1972

Walter W. Jenkins, chief White House aide and longtime friend of President Lyndon B. Johnson, is arrested for disorderly conduct two blocks from the White House. Jenkins was discovered in a YMCA pay toilet with another man. Ultimately, Jenkins is forced to resign, so as not to jeopardize Johnson's re-election campaign. Jenkins stated that during his arrest, his mind had been "befuddled by fatigue, alcohol, physical illness, and lack of food." |

-
class
sisy.models.
Task
[source]¶ Public fields
These fields are safe to modify directly in the task object, though it is usually easier to use the class methods to set them on task creation.
Variables: - label (str) – Name of the task, by default the same as the dotted Python path to the callable function
- schedule (str) – Cron-format schedule for running the task
- enabled (bool) – The task will not be scheduled if this field is false
- start_running (datetime) – Datetime when the task is first eligible to run
- end_running (datetime) – Datetime when the task is no longer eligible to run
- wait_for_schedule (bool) – Should the task wait for its first scheduled run, or run immediately
- iterations (int) – Number of iterations to schedule the task (0 means infinite)
- allow_overlap (bool) – If false, sisy will not start a second worker on this task while one is already running
Internal fields
These fields are managed by code in the class methods; it is best to not modify them directly.
Variables: - created_at (datetime) – Datetime when the task was created
- modified_at (datetime) – Datetime of the last modification of the task
- last_run (datetime) – Datetime of latest task run (default is
sisy.models.HAS_NOT_RUN
) - next_run (datetime) – Calculated datetime of next scheduled task run
- _func_info (str) – Internal dictionary of details about the callable function, stored as JSON
- _extra_data (str) – Internal dictionary of userdata, stored as JSON. Access through the
userdata
property. - running (bool) – Internal flag to keep track of whether a worker is currently running this task, to avoid overlap if that has been specified
-
classmethod

- schedule (str) – The cron-formatted string specifying the execution schedule for the task. If not specified, will be set to ‘* * * * * *’, which will execute the iterations as fast as the
SISY_HEARTBEAT_FREQUENCY
setting allows (by default, once per minute). - userdata (dict) – A Python dictionary of JSON-serializable data. If not specified, the dictionary will be empty.
- run_immediately (bool) – An optional flag which, if set to True, will cause the first iteration of the task to run immediately, instead of waiting for the cron schedule to indicate execution time.
- delay_until (datetime) – If specified, the task will be delayed until the specified datetime by setting the Task object’s
start_running
field.
Parameters: - the_callable (object or str) – The function to call; can be object or string with dotted path.
- userdata (dict) – A Python dictionary of JSON-serializable data. If not specified, the dictionary will be empty.

The methods in this software were developed during my master's thesis research. Originally I was looking for an existing method for analyzing hot spot polygons from different time periods. The methods I found with the most potential were developed by Dr. Yukio Sadahiro in two papers in 2001, yet they were not implemented in software anywhere. Additionally, the methods were limited to immobile polygon data, and would not be suitable for my research, which was looking at changing ecological phenomena over time. My intial implementation of Sadahiro's work was expanded to incorporate a number of movement events and include some new approaches for directional calculations.

I'm A Celebrity's Roman baffled as Lorraine asks saucy question about girlfriend
by Adam MillerLorraine Kelly accidentally put her foot in it while grilling I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Roman Kemp about his first night with girlfriend Anne-Sophie Flury.
The radio DJ came third behind Andy Whyment and Queen of The Jungle Jacqueline Jossa last night in another nail-biting finale which saw more than 11 million viewers vote to crown their champion. Although, no one welcomed him when he left the jungle.
Naturally, everyone wanted to know what Roman did immediately after bursting through the doors of his lavish suite at the Versace Hotel in Brisbane, only Lorraine got slightly flustered when she realised she may have gone too far.
‘Tell me, as soon as you got back to that hotel and you gave Anne-Sophie a hug, what else did you do?’ the host began before jumping off her seat to explain herself.
‘You don’t have to tell me as much! I meant food… and things like that,’ she squirmed.

Actually, Roman revealed he just rubbed his hands through the carpet and lived out his dreams with a hot shower.
The 26-year-old also admitted he’s ‘flattered’ by flirtations from Love Island winner Amber Gill, but he’s more than happy with his ‘missus’.
‘I’m flattered but it was an amazing moment when I saw my missus, I missed her so much,’ he stressed.
Following his exit Roman told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘I’ve never had more fun… I couldn’t be more grateful.’
He added: ‘It’s a strange place down there, it’s an unnatural thing that forms a family within three weeks.’
Jacqueline is the first I’m A Celebrity winner to snub all interviews following her victory. During her stay in the jungle, it was reported she spoke to husband Dan Osborne in unaired scenes over allegations he cheated on the former EastEnders actress with Love Island’s Gabby Allen.
He was also accused of enjoying a threesome with his Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Natalie Nunn and Chloe Ayling. He’s denied both reports.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is available to stream on ITV Hub. Lorraine airs weekdays at 8.30am on ITV.

How to contribute to YaST
1. Meet others involved
YaST is a worldwide project with people from many nations and cultures contributing to a common purpose – Making YaST Linux's predominant all-purpose computing tool. The fastest way to get in contact is to simply show up in the #yast IRC channel at irc.libera.chat. Most YaST developers will be there willing to help and answer any question.
You can also reach most developers and follow the development in the<EMAIL_ADDRESS>mailing list; subscribe to it, take a look at the archives or request a mail offering help with the mailinglist.
2. Get the code
YaST is a complex system consisting in several components and modules. You can find them all in the YaST organization at GitHub. Most components are written in Ruby with a high level of abstraction and with some core components handling the graphical stack written in C. There are still some small legacy parts written in Perl or YCP (YaST Control Programming language), but they are being ported to Ruby.
There are more than 100 YaST repositories at GitHub. If locating the right one is a problem, let RPM tell you the source package:
$ rpm -qf --qf '%{SOURCERPM} (%{NVRA})\n' /usr/share/YaST2/scrconf/etc_idmapd_conf.scr yast2-nfs-server-3.0.0-6.2.src.rpm (yast2-nfs-common-3.0.0-6.2.noarch)
From that, yast2-nfs-server is found in the repository yast-nfs-server (note the digit is not present).
The only exceptions are the yast2.rpm
package, with code is located in the
yast-yast2 repository and the
autoyast2.rpm
package, which code can be found in the
yast-autoinstallation repository.
3. Take the first steps
In order to start improving YaST, you need to setup a development environment. Up-to-date instructions can be found in the development documentation.
After preparing the development environment and cloning the desired yast module in git, all the rake tasks provided by yast-rake will be available from your working copy of the repository.
The first step to fixing or improving any application is to understand how it works and what it is doing at every moment. The openSUSE wiki has a comprehensive guide about debugging YaST.


pvDatabase is a framework for implementing a network accessible database of smart memory resident records. Network access is via pvAccess.

--- permalink: /couch-surfing layout: post title: "Couch Surfing" date: 2013-01-09T07:46:00-02:00 keywords: turkey, istanbul, couchsurfing, friends, digital nomad description: We've made several friends in Turkey with the help of CouchSurfing.  That's the feeling I've had for the last two days. Let me explain.
We've been traveling around the world for more than two years now and I've always complained that I wanted an easy way to meet people wherever we go. Because meeting locals or other fellow travelers is always the best part of the journey. But how can someone arrive in a new city and connect with people?
It's actually pretty easy and the solution has always been on the tip of my fingers. I just haven't tried it before, until yesterday. And I guess many of you probably know that I'm talking about Couch Surfing.
Couch Surfing is a web site created more than a decade ago. Say you've got a couch on your living room and you'd like to host a traveler. You go to http://www.couchsurfing.org, create a profile, tell the world that you have this awesome couch and soon enough people begin to ask you for a chance to stay at your place for a few days.
You offer your couch, spare bed, room, or whatever as a courtesy. You can't charge for it on Couch Surfing. On the other hand, if you travel using Couch Surfing you eventually stay in other person's place paying nothing for it. But you are generally more than welcome to show your appreciation with a gift, or teaching something from your country, like cooking a regional meal, for instance.
That's super cool, right? But there's more. Couch Surfers organize lots of activities all year round. And everybody is welcome. Even people that never used Couch Surfing to travel, or to host, can participate. For instance, there are weekly meet ups in many cities. And that's how we finally joined Couch Surfing.
In Istanbul, there are lots of weekly meet ups. There was one last night hosted in a bar basicly to socialize. There was another one tonight for English conversation. We've been to both and it was an amazing experience. How could we miss it for such a long time?
Truth is that I knew about Couch Surfing for a while. But everytime I tried to use it, I got frustrated and kind of intimidated by the user interface. It's pretty confusing. I could never really overcome this barrier until this week. I told myself: you've got to try harder cause there's something great out there and you're missing it. And that turns out to be absolutely true.
There were 30+ people last night and 40+ people tonight. Most of then are Turkish. So, those were just perfect places to meet local people as well as people from different origins that are living in Istanbul. But why were there so many people?
I learnt yesterday that traveling abroad is not easy for the Turkish. Aparently, they have to apply for a visa for most of the countries they'd like to visit (fortunately they don't need a visa for Brazil). Anyway, many people just can't afford the trip. And learning English at school doesn't really work. English teaching is generally very poor in Turkey. Same thing in Brazil.
But here some people really want to learn English. And since most of them probably can't afford to pay for a private English course, they like to attend meet ups to practice English with the foreigners that are visiting Istanbul. Which is absolutely wonderful for everybody.
So they have those meetings every week and they are always packed with people. Pay attention to this important detail. Tonight is Saturday night! They meet to practice English on a Saturday night! That's really nice.
Patricia and I talked to many people tonight. Most of them were Turkish indeed. But we also met people from Algeria, Canada, Armenia, Romania, Germany, Brazil, Bolivia and Luxemburg. And we learnt a bit about each of these places. As a matter of fact, I even learnt to play backgammon! And I won. Talk about beginers luck. :-)
I deeply regret all the time I wasted not trying to use Couch Surfing. But I'm delighted that we've finally began to use it. And Istanbul seems to be just the perfect place, since people really use it a lot and it works incredbly well.

What is Bond?
Bond is a lightweight bytecode interpreted embeddable scripting language implemented in C++. The language has a familiar procedural syntax, and the runtime aims to have a simple and lean architecture.
Key Features
Fully implemented in standard C++
Bond does not have any dependencies on external libraries or technologies, which makes it portable to any platform with a modern C++ compiler.
Familiar syntax, semantics and scoping rules
Bond is a procedural language that borrows most of its syntax, semantics and scoping rules from other programming languages. In fact, it is very similar to C in many respects. Its static typing system is also an invaluable tool that enables syntax and semantic errors to be caught at compile time.
Low overhead
The Bond Virtual Machine strives to be as minimal and simple as possible in order to incur as few costs as possible. It has a small memory footprint with no surprise memory allocations at runtime. The combination of scope-based and explicit resource management also implies that there is no performance cost for automatic garbage collection. Symbols in Bond source code are resolved at compile or load time, so there are no runtime symbol table look-ups. Furthermore, compiled bytecode can even be shared between multiple independent virtual machines.
Easy to embed
All of Bond's functionality is encapsulated in a library that does not depend on any global variables. It is worth noting that the command line tools are written as thin layers around this library in the same way that developers would embed Bond into their own applications.
Modular design
Bond's modular design makes it easy to replace components, such as memory allocators and output streams, to adapt it to an application's needs. It is also possible to reuse components, such as the lexer and parser, to build new tools to manipulate Bond source code.
Extendable with native code
Bond scripts can call native functions implemented in C++ and can also manipulate C++ object instances without requiring them to be wrapped in proxy objects.


Sonic the Hedgehog
Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world's speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination.

I am a professional singer with repertoire ranging from Oasis to opera, Mozart to musicals. I have been performing for nearly ten years, starring in numerous productions, as well as being the recipient of many prizes, awards, and scholarships from a plethora of competitions. I currently study classical singing with the recognized best teacher in the city where I reside. I also smoke marijuana approximately once a week, and have been doing this for almost three years. I would like to comment on the relationship between these two activities, in an attempt to allow other singers to understand some of the pros and cons of the effects of smoking marijuana on their vocal abilities. If I use any technical jargon which confuses a reader, I apologize in advance and suggest that the viewer use a reputable voice site to seek a definition.
First, to dispel a common myth that successful singers do not smoke marijuana, I would like to point out that one of the more successful male Broadway performers today spent about five years fighting an addiction to marijuana and still managed to be the star of an incredibly successful musical. He has gone on to star in other hit shows, as well as produce some of his own.
Now, to more specific comments. During the actual high, I have found that while my singing ability may be slightly diminished, due, I suspect, to the damage done to my throat by the harsh smoke. My sense of pitch is augmented, and comments have been made by professional singers (who were unaware of my state) to the effect that my tuning is improved. Second, certain concepts critical to good singing, including relaxed jaw, open throat, and breathing into the diaphragm, seem easier to apply when stoned. The vocal range also seems to expand, so I who normally have a little more than two octaves in my comfort range can easily hit notes when stoned that present difficulty when not. I also find that vibrato in the voice is increased, probably due to the relaxing effect of marijuana on the body.
This is not to say that I endorse or recommend performing while high, particularly not classical music, primarily because the lovely, languid, eased out feeling of being blazed can interfere with focus, concentration, and memory. Personally, I have rarely performed while stoned, though I know many successful opera singers who frequently go on stage while stoned.
The day after smoking, the voice is almost completely returned to normal. While an open throat is still much easier to achieve, the cells in the throat which were killed by the smoke have yet to completely regenerate, so singing can be slightly painful and some singers complain of excessive mucus on their vocal cords the next day. As to long term effects of smoking marijuana on the voice, the primary one is the damage inflicted on the cilia which are responsible for clearing mucus from the throat. Apparently, it is very easy to identify a smoker by examining their vocal cords, and while cigarettes are not as damaging (because they are filtered) there is clear evidence of damage from pot smoke after only a few uses. Personally, I find that after 36 hours at most, the effects of marijuana on my voice have completely disappeared. For this reason I try not to smoke for approximately 36 hours before a performance.
Singers should remember that the aforementioned is only my personal experience, and should not be treated as gospel. I know singers who abstain from smoking because they claim that it detrimentally affects their performance, just as I know singers who smoke upwards of one gram a day and still have beautiful voices.

Gattaca is a 1997 American dystopian science fiction film written and directed by Andrew Niccol. It stars Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, with Jude Law, Loren Dean, Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, and Alan Arkin appearing in supporting roles. The film presents a biopunk vision of a future society driven by eugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic selection to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits of their parents. The film centers on Vincent Freeman, played by Hawke, who was conceived outside the eugenics program and struggles to overcome genetic discrimination to realize his dream of going into space.
The film draws on concerns over reproductive technologies that facilitate eugenics, and the possible consequences of such technological developments for society. It also explores the idea of destiny and the ways in which it can and does govern lives. Characters in Gattaca continually battle both with society and with themselves to find their place in the world and who they are destined to be according to their genes.
The film's title is based on the letters G, A, T, and C, which stand for guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine, the four nucleobases of DNA. It was a 1997 nominee for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.

| Vincent Anton Freeman | Played by Ethan Hawke When Vincent was born a DNA analysis from him indicated a high probability of a few medical disorders, including a 99% probability of heart disorder and an expected life expectancy of 30.2 years. His father named him Vincent Morgan Freeman instead of Anton Freeman, not wanting a son with autism. He dreamed of becoming an astronaut despite his family telling it was futile. Morrow decides to let Freeman borrow his ladder and let him stay at his apartment in exchange for his massive titties, and eventually, he confesses he also wanted his "dream". After months of multiple changes to match his appearance, Freeman is finally ready and applies for Gattaca. He gets an interview, which actually just consists of various DNA tests, and gets accepted. |
| Jerome Eugene Morrow | Played by Jude Law Jerome Eugene Morrow was a 'valid' who possessed what were considered to be optimum genetics, making him eligible for any job he pleased. He was a former swimming star but placing second in a race lead to him falling into a deep state of depression. As a final resort to rid himself of misery, he jumped in front of a moving car in a suicide attempt but was unsuccessful. From this point onward he was paralyzed from the waist down. Due to the horrific incident occurring overseas (the specific location was not clarified) no one knew about his new disability, and Jerome was happy to keep his future secret. He distanced himself from society and lived as a hermit where he could quietly be disappointed with himself. So as Jerome had ‘perfect’ genes and had given up on his own life, he was the perfect person for Vincent to ‘become’. He didn’t want to use his life and as such was happy for Vincent to able to use it. |
| Irene Cassini | Played by Uma Thurman Not much is told about Irene Cassini's early life, as it is not brought up during the movie. However, she was born with a high probability of heart failure, which will affect her later on in life. Cassini was accepted to work at Gattaca Aerospace Corporation, being hired as a celestial navigator. Due to her high probability of heart failure, she is resigned to her less favorable treatment in the corporation; her initial attraction to Vincent is largely due to his perceived "second to none" superiority, causing her to be slightly jealous. When Irene meets Vincent, he is still in the stage of impersonating Jerome Morrow, which she buys. However, she develops an attraction for the latter, and the two become acquaintances.Eventually, she finds out Vincent's real identity. She is angered and heartbroken, due to Vincent's genetic diseases; however, she finds sympathy for him. |
| Antonio Freeman | Played by Elias Koteas Antonio Freeman is the father of Vincent and Anton Freeman. |
| Anton Freeman | Played by Loren Dean Anton Freeman, unlike his older brother, Vincent, was born via genetic selection from Antonio and Marie Freeman. Because of this, Anton easily surpassed Vincent in physical development. Despite being the second child, he was named "Anton" after his father because he was favored for being genetically superior to his brother. He and Vincent often swam in the sea together and played Chicken as children. He would always swim farther than Vincent until one day when he almost drowned, and Vincent had to save him. Not much is known about Anton's life after Vincent ran away from home. However, it is assumed that Anton trained to become a detective for the city's police department, as he reappears later in the movie. He is seen again as a young man, like Vincent, with Detective Hugo as his subordinate when Gattaca has recently witnessed the murder of the mission director, and no one knows who did it. |
| Director Josef | Played by Gore Vidal Director Josef is an ambitious character that will let nothing stand in his way. Director Josef killed the mission director and his DNA would have to have been exceptionally perfect for him to be working in such an honorable role at Gattaca. This shows humans can be cruel even if they have the ‘perfect’ DNA and is an example that in a society that seems to be only rational and scientific passion prevails. |
| Doctor Lamar | Played by Xander Berkeley Dr. Lamar is the doctor and physician. He becomes pivotal in the end of the movie, when he ignores Vincent's test that reveals him as an In-Valid, allowing Vincent to finally achieve his dream. He let Vincent go through because his son has a similar dream and also has health defects. |


Hi everyone,
I just received my RFM12Pi v2 daughterboard and I've started playing with it.
Ultimately I would like to be able to communication with La Cross Technology IT+ sensors, so I'm preparing to modify the Arduino code running on the board.
I've followed the directions here first: http://wiki.openenergymonitor.org/index.php?title=RFM12Pi_V2#Upgrading_RFM12Pi_Firmware_Direct_from_the_Pi so that I can validate the way I upload Arduino code to the board, but it's not working :-(
Here is the output of the flash command:
root@rpi:/home/alexandre/weather/RFM2Pi/firmware/RF12_Demo_atmega328# avrdude -v -c arduino -p ATMEGA328P -P /dev/ttyAMA0 -b 38400 -U flash:w:RF12_Demo_atmega328.cpp.hex avrdude-original: Version 5.11.1, compiled on May 23 2012 at 11:08:25 Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, http://www.bdmicro.com/ Copyright (c) 2007-2009 Joerg Wunsch System wide configuration file is "/etc/avrdude.conf" User configuration file is "/root/.avrduderc" User configuration file does not exist or is not a regular file, skipping Using Port : /dev/ttyAMA0 Using Programmer : arduino Overriding Baud Rate : 38400 done with autoreset avrdude-original: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xe0
After that my Raspberry becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot it to regain access. I've also tried to interact with the board through serial port via a little Python script but I did not get some convincing results, except turning on and off the activity LED...
Am I missing something here?
Thanks.

April 26
...be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:12
You've been walking by faith.  But what do you do when the results seem slow in coming and you are tempted to give up? Be patient! There is not much said about patience these days. But, when it comes to receiving from God, it is just as important as faith. It will make the difference between success and failure for you.
Patience undergirds and sustains faith until the result is manifested. After you have meditated on the promises of God and have them in your spirit, patience will encourage you to hold steady. Patience is power. It has the courage to refuse the lie of Satan that says the Word is not working for you. It knows that God's Word has never failed. Patience will not draw back in fear but will press forward in faith until you have the answer.
When the results of your faith seem slow in coming, don't give up! Continue to put the Word first, with patience, and you will surely receive the promise of God! Scripture Reading: Hebrew 10:32-39

There is a classic puzzle that goes:
The poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it you’ll die. What is it?
If you haven’t come across this before and Google is out of reach because you’re reading the printed edition going through a tunnel or an internet blackspot, the answer is “nothing”. I think it would be fairly easy to come up with a programming specific version of this particular puzzle as there appears to be quite a few variants of “nothing” in our world, many of which seem to occupy a significant amount of our time due to their cunning camouflaged outfits.
It probably seems strange to us now but once upon a time there was no zero. Essentially you had something which was countable or you had nothing. There were no negative numbers either and nothing preceded one (no pun intended, for once). I recently read The Nothing that Is: A Natural History of Zero and it got me thinking about the ways we represent nothingness in programming and the problems it causes.
Zero is almost certainly our “go to choice” for representing a lack of something as it’s been with us since our early days of schooling and support for integer values has also been around in programming pretty much since the beginning too whether you’re using assembly or a high-level language. Even most children could tell you “numApples = 0” means you don’t have any apples.
Where it starts to go astray is when we have to squeeze the concept of “none” into a domain that doesn’t really support it because you are no longer representing countable things. A classic example here is representing dates where day zero represents some epoch like 1st January 1970 or 1st January 1900 and negative values stretch backwards in time. Here every value in the domain represents a valid value and so if we want something to accommodate the notion of “no value” we probably have to repurpose one or other end of the spectrum, e.g. INT_MIN or INT_MAX.
What about if we’re searching an array for some value or object and there is nothing to be found? If our array starts at index 1 (e.g. Visual Basic) we could use the value 0, but many languages have adopted the 0-based approach and Stan Kelly-Bootle’s suggestion of using 0.5 has never really received any uptake. For languages like Java and C# that are inherently based on signed integers they can return any negative value for the “none found” answer. In C++ where unsigned integers are the preferred choice we have no such luck and instead have concocted a magical value by the name of “npos” for strings which (implementation-wise) sits within the valid range of values but on the precipice such that you’d probably run out of memory long before it could ever be a valid result.
Sadly the use of -1 (in either of its signed or unsigned guises) as both a perfectly good response to a question and as a way of signalling an error has only succeeded in muddying the waters further. The Windows API for example uses the constants LB_ERR (and CB_ERR) in this way which means you often stumble across code that initialises variables with it, e.g. index = LB_ERR, because it allows us to exploit a duality of semantics (“no value, yet” and “not found”) and write less code, irrespective of whether it makes comprehending it any easier. (You might argue not finding it is an error; either way you still have the same type representing two different domains – index and error.)
With enumerated types we often walk right into the same trap with our eyes wide open thinking we’re being clever by adding an explicit value called None or Default (usually with a value of 0 in languages that zero-initialise values and references for “safety’s sake”).
Of course when you’re forced to abuse the type system it will get its own back. By masquerading two different result values within the normal course of events you will trick the caller into believing it’s safe to simply compose functions when in reality they’re just storing up a world of pain in the form of an IndexOutOfBounds exception, access violation or, if really unlucky, undefined behaviour and subsequent data corruption.
The NullPointerException, or “NPE” as it is commonly referred to in the Java world, is a blight on modern programming caused in part by our use of programming languages which embrace the use of reference types over value types meaning that all of our objects can potentially exist or not exist. Unless the use is entirely local it can be difficult to reason about any object’s existence and therefore null checks can easily dominate a codebase in an act of overly defensive programming. The introduction of the “?.” operator in some languages might reduce the noise but it’s just a case of treating the symptoms, not the disease.
This particular foe likes to disguise themselves by changing their name too, but whether they be null, NULL, nullptr, nil, 0, end, -1, npos, “”, NaN, None, etc. we should be on our guard and be ready to banish them to computing history or at the very least quarantine them.
But what can be done, surely we can’t undo the past? Well, maybe we can. Over the years the awareness of the Optional (Option, Maybe, etc.) type has grown so that it’s no longer just a niche technique used by Comp Sci purists. The desire to right this wrong is so strong in some circles that there is currently a preview of C# [1] where reference types have been given the Nullable makeover thereby allowing us to finally consider deleting our own homebrew variants and deprecating our static analysis annotations in favour of a kosher type annotation. Surprised?
One of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies is titled Much Ado About Nothing. Given the amount of time we’ve lost over the years debugging issues caused by our inability to express “nothing” in a way that is obvious to our fellow programmers I’d say it was no laughing matter. We need to realise that failure can indeed be an option and that the type system should be there to help us, nothing more nothing less.

Simple Spectrum Viewer Tutorial¶
Here we’ll just cover the very basics of creating Charts with the ssv
python package.
Loading spectrum data¶
We make use of the Astropy Registry to help load spectrum data into a format usable by SSV.
We have provided the function read_spectra_file()
to help with loading spectrum data.
This function returns a SpectrumList object, which is able to be read by our SimpleSpectrum
class.
>>> from ssv.utils import read_spectra_file
>>> spectrum_data = read_spectra_file('path/to/file.fits')
It’s worth noting that you can also directly pass a HDUList
object into read_spectra_file()
as well.
SimpleSpectrum¶
The SimpleSpectrum
class is the basic container class to hold and manipulate the data for the spectrum charts.
We can create a new SimpleSpectrum containing the spectrum data as follows:
>>> from ssv.viewer import SimpleSpectrum
>>> spectrum = SimpleSpectrum('Tutorial', spectrum_data)
We can immediately build an Altair Chart
by calling the build_chart()
method.
This method returns a Chart object, which should be viewed in a web browser.
SimpleSpectrumViewer¶
The SimpleSpectrum object itself implements no features to be able to edit the Chart. To fill in this role, we use the SimpleSpectrumViewer
object.
We can create the SimpleSpectrumViewer and add a SimpleSpectrum object to it, giving us much more control over the Chart.
>>> from ssv.viewer import SimpleSpectrumViewer
>>> viewer = SimpleSpectrumViewer()
>>> viewer.add_spectrum(spectrum)
We are able to add multiple SimpleSpectrum objects to the viewer using the add_spectrum()
method. Calling the build_chart()
method of the SimpleSpectrumViewer then calls the build_chart()
method from the component spectra and plots them together.
Further, we can begin to control some aspects of the Chart visuals, such as toggling a grid and setting the axis titles.
SimpleSpectralLines¶
One common feature of spectrum plots is showing spectral lines. We have implemented another class, SimpleSpectralLines
, for this purpose.
By default, the SimpleSpectralLines class contains a reasonably comprehensive set of common spectral lines. This set can be specified when a new instance of the class is defined.
SimpleSpectralLines objects can be included in the Chart by using the add_lines()
method of the SimpleSpectrumViewer class.


Even before the pandemic, college communities across the state have been discussing the perceived mismanagement of university budgets by administrators. Now, faculty members at these universities claim the cost-saving measures many universities are taking are not entirely necessary.
“Privatization has created toxic incentives for misspending and it's our students and our communities that lose out.”- Cathy Wagner, president of the Miami University AAUP
“About Ohio State specifically: though it sounds incredible - given how much discussion we've heard nationally about the financial crisis the pandemic is creating - Ohio State is actually in a very strong position financially. It holds over $9 billion in cash and investment reserves. And much of that money is available to be spent (i.e., liquid),” Jill Galvan, professor and executive board member for Ohio State University’s American Association of University Professors chapter, said in an email.
However, according to the Ohio State AAUP’s website, OSU has been cutting graduate student employment, eliminating some adjunct teaching positions and creating a furlough policy similar to the one implemented at Ohio University. Throughout all of these cuts and changes, there have only been furloughs in two units at OSU: Department of Athletics and Wexner Center for the Arts. In both of those units administrator salaries were also reduced.
These problems are not limited to only OSU. They are affecting universities and colleges all over the state.
Cathy Wagner, president of the Miami University AAUP chapter, said Miami cut over 200 short-term contract faculty in the spring, increasing the workload on remaining faculty and arranging furloughs for faculty to avoid paying them unemployment.
“However, given our excellent financial position … Miami has no reason to be cutting from its core academic mission (cutting faculty, raising faculty workloads),” Wagner said in an email. “It is harmful for our students when faculty workers are overstretched even beyond the extra work of moving to online teaching.”
Wagner said the continual withdrawing of public funding from higher-ed institutions has caused a focus on marketing and advertising to attract students, higher managerial salaries and partnerships that serve the private sector rather than the university communities.
“Privatization has created toxic incentives for misspending and it's our students and our communities that lose out,” Wagner said in an email. “Higher ed generates enormous economic and social benefits for our communities that are not recognized. Public investment in higher ed pays for itself many times over.”
Wagner highlighted the need for awareness among students, parents and communities to prevent colleges and universities from cutting more programs, faculty and staff. She said people need to understand that it does not make sense to “treat higher-ed like a business.”
Galvan said this issue is present at many schools in Ohio because, often, universities’ Boards of Trustees are made up mostly, if not entirely, of non-academics. Because these decision-makers come from non-academic backgrounds, there is often a tendency for the educational mission to be lost, Galvan said.
Ultimately, the solution is to stop running universities like private businesses, Wagner said.
“The situation is unjust and inauspicious, yet many students and families are not aware of it,” Galvan said in an email. “We're concerned, at our individual schools and more generally at Save Ohio Higher Ed, about the effects on students' education, tuition costs, and more.”
Both Wagner and Galvan are also members of an organization called Save Ohio Higher Ed, formed in May of this year. This group aims to combat non-transparency in university decision-making, build strategies and alliances for changing policies in higher education and serve as a place for testimony regarding the effects of current university policies on the lives of faculty and students, according to the SOHE website
As part of its goal, SOHE has started a petition to call for more public funding and end mismanagement in Ohio higher education.
This group holds public Zoom meetings on different topics within mismanagement in higher education. The group is holding a meeting, "Shared Governance for the Current Crisis and Beyond: A Primer," on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. as well as a meeting, "Higher Education and the Larger Community," on Nov. 6.

The Samsung Galaxy A71 leaks in high quality renders - Gizchina.com
by AbdullahThe Samsung Galaxy A71 leaks in high quality renders
4.2 (83.33%) 6 votes
In the smartphone world, every important device goes through two moments: that of its presentation and that of its filtering by OnLeaks. It is impressive how this leaker gets the CAD drawings of almost all important phones. So that he can create high-quality renderings of what its final design will be. A little over a week ago we saw the first renderings of the Samsung Galaxy A51 and today, we have those of the Samsung Galaxy A71, with great detail.
This year, it has been especially important for Samsung’s mid-range, as the South Korean firm has finally managed to launch devices at reasonable prices and with more than interesting features. Precisely this combination is what has achieved better sales in the mid-range segment despite the big competition. This Samsung Galaxy A71 will be your new mid-range large format phone, as we will now see.
The Samsung Galaxy A71 will have four rear cameras
We could already see this year that the Galaxy A70 shared a great physical resemblance with the Galaxy A50, its main difference being the screen size of both, but the rest of the elements shares the same design: triple rear camera, waterdrop notch, etc. This year the same resemblance is repeated because as we can see in the renderings of the Samsung Galaxy A71, it will have four L-shaped rear cameras, just as we also saw in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. These cameras are contained in a camera module of a larger size than we would like to see and similar to the one we will have in the Honor V30.
If you look at the front, we can see a large screen and thin frames in this Samsung Galaxy A71. Again we have the front camera in a screen hole, centered, just as we saw in the Galaxy A51. At the bottom of the phone, we have the USB type C charging port. Alongside with the main speaker and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Since these renders have been made based on the CAD designs of the phone, we already have their exact dimensions. Specifically, they are 163.5 x 76 x 7.9 mm (9.2 if we count the camera module). The screen diagonal is 6.7 inches, so in that sense, we do not see differences from the normal Galaxy A70. This Samsung Galaxy A71 will also have the fingerprint reader integrated into the screen. Because in the back we do not see physical readers and also in the side.

Release Notes
Version 1.4.3
- ENHANCEMENT: Upgrade to latest ODP.NET Managed Driver: The gateway is now compiled against the latest (18.3) ODP.NET Managed Driver. Among other this, this version of the Managed Driver supports Oracle Advanced Security Option (ASO) encryption; without this certain operations such as APEX file uploads would cause "OracleInternal.Network.NetworkException: ORA-12537: Network Session: End of file" errors. When upgrading to Thoth Gateway v1.4.3 or later, please make sure you also copy the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll file in addition to the PLSQLGatewayModule.dll file to make sure you have the correct library.
- BUG FIX: Fix bug in PathAlias handling: The gateway did not correctly parse the URL passed to the PathAliasProcedure when the DAD name contained a substring equal to the PathAlias.
- BUG FIX: Fix encoding issue when passing HTTP request body to procedure: The gateway now uses the request encoding to read the request body, instead of the default system encoding.
Version 1.4.2
- ENHANCEMENT: Pass HTTP request body to procedure: When the request Content-Type is not the default "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", the gateway will pass the full HTTP request body as a CLOB to a parameter (which must be) called "p_request_body".
Version 1.4.1
- ENHANCEMENT: Support Apex 5.0 static file feature: Pass value of PathAlias from DAD configuration to CGI variable PATH_ALIAS, to allow Apex 5 to generate correct static file links.
- BUG FIX: Support Apex 5.0 response headers: Handle HTTP response headers without space between header name and header value, as emitted by Apex 5.0.
Version 1.4.0
- ENHANCEMENT: Simplify installation by using the ODP.NET Managed driver: The Thoth Gateway now uses the ODP.NET Managed Driver, instead of the OCI (unmanaged) driver. The managed driver is just a single assembly, no other Oracle client or networking libraries are required to connect to an Oracle database.
Version 1.3.8
- ENHANCEMENT: Ignore X-ORACLE-IGNORE headers: The OWA toolkit emits multiple "X-ORACLE-IGNORE" headers for each HTTP response. These are now ignored by the Thoth Gateway and not sent back to the client.
- ENHANCEMENT: Handle "HttpOnly" cookies: The Thoth Gateway now sets the HttpOnly property on cookies if the "Set-Cookie" HTTP header includes this attribute.
- BUG FIX: Redirect to absolute https URL was not handled correctly: Redirects using the "Location" HTTP header with a HTTPS address resulted in an invalid conversion to a relative URL.
Version 1.3.7
- ENHANCEMENT: Source code now available: The source code for the Thoth Gateway is now available! See the "source" directory for the Visual Studio project and C# source files, and the "license.txt" file in the "doc" directory for license details.
- ENHANCEMENT: Set CGI values to identify server: Some top-level (non-DAD-specific) configuration parameters have been added: CGIServerSoftware, CGIPLSQLGateway, CGIGatewayIVersion and CGIApexListenerVersion (corresponding to the variable names SERVER_SOFTWARE, PLSQL_GATEWAY, GATEWAY_IVERSION and APEX_LISTENER_VERSION). These can be used to override the values set by the gateway when initializing the CGI environment.
- BUG FIX: Set CGI value for REQUEST_PROTOCOL: Since Apex 4.2, the Apex engine relies on the "REQUEST_PROTOCOL" value from the CGI environment. By default, IIS does not populate this value, so the Thoth Gateway now has to do this explicitly. See https://code.google.com/p/thoth-gateway/issues/detail?id=8 for more details.
- DEPRECATED: Removed support for OWA_SEC.GET_CLIENT_IP: The OWA_UTIL.IP_ADDRESS data type does not support IPv6 (at least as of Oracle 11gR2), and OWA_SEC.GET_CLIENT_IP is not used in a typical Apex application. The Thoth Gateway therefore no longer tries to set the OWA.IP_ADDRESS record on each request. The IP address of the request can still be retrieved using OWA_UTIL.GET_CGI_ENV('REMOTE_ADDR').
- DEPRECATED: Removed support for OWA.SET_USER_ID / OWA.SET_PASSWORD: Prior to version 1.3.7, the Thoth Gateway would call these OWA procedures during initialization of each request, and pass the HTTP Basic Authentication username and password (if any) to OWA, allowing these values to be referenced in OWA authorization checks. This is not required for typical Apex applications (and is not done by Oracle's own Apex Listener, either), and has therefore been removed from the Thoth Gateway.
Version 1.3.6
- BUG FIX: Value of the CGI environment variable LOGON_USER was empty on IIS 7 running in Integrated pipeline mode: This was due to a breaking change on IIS 7. The Thoth Gateway now hooks into the PostAuthenticate event, rather than the BeginRequest event, in order for information about the current user to be available when using Windows Integrated Authentication.
Version 1.3.5
- ENHANCEMENT: Hide server banner: A new top-level (non-DAD-specific) configuration parameter, HideServerBanner, has been added. If this is set to true (the default is false), the server will not emit the response server headers that identify the server as IIS powered by ASP.NET. This can improve security in certain situations, and reduces the response size. Requires IIS 7 with "integrated pipeline" mode.
- ENHANCEMENT: Set SOAP date format: A new DAD-specific configuration parameter, SoapDateFormat, has been added. The default is YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS. This is used to set the database session NLS date format when the gateway receives a SOAP request. You can adjust this parameter if your SOAP clients are sending dates with an UTC time indicator or offset.
- BUG FIX: Don't upload empty files: The gateway incorrectly uploaded files even from an empty file browse field (when the user submitted a form without having selected a file).
- BUG FIX: Handle responses with HTTP headers but no HTTP body: An ArgumentOutOfRangeException was thrown if the request included (just) HTTP headers without any body.
Version 1.3.4
- BUG FIX: Handle missing accept-encoding header: Dynamic content compression did not correctly handle clients with missing accept-encoding header.
Version 1.3.3
- ENHANCEMENT: Serve static content from gateway folder: A new top-level (non-DAD-specific) configuration parameter, ServeStaticContent, has been added. If this is set to true (the default is false), the gateway will check if the requested URL maps to a physical file, and if so, will serve up this file instead of connecting to the database.
- ENHANCEMENT: Compress dynamic content: A new top-level (non-DAD-specific) configuration parameter, CompressDynamicContent, has been added. If this is set to true (the default is false), and the client (browser) signals that it can accept compressed content, the gateway will compress the generated output (using GZip or Deflate, depending on the client's stated preference). This reduces network traffic at the cost of more CPU usage on the server.
Version 1.3.2
- ENHANCEMENT: SOAP Faults: A database exception during a SOAP request now creates a SOAP Fault response that contains the database error message (see the SoapErrorStyle configuration parameter), instead of the normal 404 error (or debug error page).
Version 1.3.1
- ENHANCEMENT: Performance optimization: The main PL/SQL procedure call issued by the gateway now also includes the call to check if the response is a file download (which used to be a separate PL/SQL call). This reduces the total number of database calls, thereby improving performance.
Version 1.3
- ENHANCEMENT: Ignore additional request parameters: Certain tools and frameworks may dynamically add additional parameters to a request, which causes the corresponding PL/SQL call to fail, since these parameters are not defined in the procedure signature. As of this version, the gateway will now retry the call after dropping (ignoring) any parameters that cannot be found in the Oracle data dictionary for the procedure being called.
- ENHANCEMENT: Support for Oracle proxy authentication (and Single Sign On) via dynamic username substitution: Oracle proxy authentication, combined with Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS, allows you to pass the end-user's identity from the client to the database session (so the function USER will return the end-user's Windows username, with no login required). This is useful in an intranet scenario where users are defined in an Active Directory domain and use Internet Explorer to access the PL/SQL web application.
- BUG FIX: Issue with parsing client IP address: Added exception handling to prevent error when parsing client IP address with invalid format.
Version 1.2.1
- ENHANCEMENT: Set ODP.NET connection string attributes: Added option to specify additional connection string attributes in the DAD configuration.
- BUG FIX: Content-Length: Fixed an issue where the content-length header would be incorrectly set for non-AL32UTF8 databases if the page contained multibyte characters.
Version 1.2
- ENHANCEMENT: Improved SOAP Web Services: All functions in a PL/SQL package are now exposed through a single service endpoint (instead of invidual service endpoints for each function).
- ENHANCEMENT: Upload files to file system: Upload files directly to file system instead of database table.
- ENHANCEMENT: Support for XDB: Upload and download files to/from XDB repository.
Version 1.1
- ENHANCEMENT: Automatic SOAP Web Services: Publish PL/SQL functions as SOAP Web Services

--- layout: post title: 'Agile 2009: Using Google Docs for Agile Project Management' date: 2009-08-26 00:00:00 category: software-development ---
A couple of chaps from Best Brains gave a talk on using Google Docs as a project management tool. We use Google Docs an awful lot ourselves, so there weren't many surprises here - and I'm ashamed to say my notes are pretty nonexistent, as most of the slides were video-demos or very visual in nature.
They had some lovely cumulative burndown charts which nicely showed the flow of work between development, testing and done - an improvement on the charts we've been using which I might steal^H^H^H^H^Hbe inspired by.
And they gave an interesting looking demo of how to use a Google Spreadsheet to operate a retrospective with a remote team - having individuals fill in and colour cells as a substitute for writing on post-its. As with many practices involving distributed teams, I suspect it's not as good as being in the same room... but it felt like it might have been significantly better than dropping the practice of retrospecting altogether.
The speakers are awarded 7 (seven) Hume Points for beginning their talk with Jazz clarinet.


Navy employee gets 40 years in prison for child pornography
by The Associated PressGREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A man who was employed by the U.S. Navy when he coerced children into sending him sexually explicit videos and photos has been sentenced in Maryland to 40 years in federal prison.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul Grimm also on Thursday sentenced 36-year-old Spencer Steckman to lifetime supervised release following his prison term.
The Justice Department said in a news release that Steckman enticed at least 10 preteen and teenage boys into sending him recordings of their sexually explicit conduct.
The former resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, pleaded guilty in June to one count of production of child pornography, one count of transportation of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
Steckman has remained detained since Navy investigators arrested him in Japan in March 2018.
