RAN (1985) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Akira Kurosawa Writers: Masato Ide, Hideo Oguni, and Akira Kurosawa (based on the play "King Lear" by William Shakespeare) Starring: Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, Daisuke Ryu, Mieko Harada, Yoshiko Miyazaki, Masayuki Yui, Peter
"Ran" opens peacefully, with numerous static shots of gorgeous green hills, but at the same time there are shots of soldiers waiting for god knows what and forboding music that starts and stops, creating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere. It's still almost tough to believe that by the end, almost all of the chief characters will die horrific deaths, and thousands of innocents will be mercilessly slaughtered.
"Ran" is loosely based on "King Lear," the great Shakespeare play about that point in your life when you look back at everything you've done and hope to be able to rely on all of it as a backbone for rest and relaxation in the last years of one's life. When King Lear looked back, though, he saw that everything was not well. In fact, he discovered his justful arrogance let loose to ignorance, and that all of the horrible things he had done in his life and all of those things that were the opposite of what he believed all came to haunt him simulataneously.
Looking at this story, which has been told countless times, it hardly seems like it needed to be told again, not the least in the form of a classic samurai melodrama as directed by Japan's greatest director, the recently-late Akira Kurosawa, who had directed such masterpieces as "The Seven Samurai" and "Rashomon," amongst numerous others. But then again, Kurosawa's films were never mere "samurai melodramas," not even his most popcorn-y films as "The Hidden Fortress."
Kurosawa directed "Ran" at the age of 75, nearly blind, relying on others to help him conceive his shots, and allowing for an effortless R rating with the most graphic, gory violence he had ever done, not even in "The Seven Samurai." His reason for directing this was, most likely, out of fear that he was in fact Lear himself, as is the fear of anyone who has ever read or seen the play performed before. With decades of films that were almost consecutively praised by critics and audiences alike as masterpieces, perhaps he was fearing that his numerous accomplishments would give way to haughty arrogance, and that perhaps there were things going on behind his back that he didn't know.
The story itself deals with an aging Japanese Lord, Hidetora (Tatsuya Nakadai), who decides at the point in his life when he feels that he has achieved everything he has wanted to achieve, and that everything is fair in his land, to finally retire. He decides to divide his land into three, shelved out to his three sons, Taro, Jiro, and Saburo (Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, and Daisuke Ryu, respectively), with the most prominent lands given in order of age. In one scene, he decides to demonstrate the fallacy that this will all work out well by showing them that one arrow can easily be broken, but when three are together, it is much more difficult to break.
Sadly, though, Saburo disagrees with his father, and will have no part in it. Hidetora, without hardly a pause, banishes his son, as well as anyone who stands up for him. But when he tries living with each of his two sons he still holds in high adoration, he discovers that they have different plans, and they soon drive him away one by one. Without any sons to fall back on, he retires with his army and numerous concubines to Saburo's old deserted castle, where a ghastly battle occurs over his possession between his army and the armies of Taro and Jiro, both who now only think of him as someone in the way and not even as their father.
Joined only by the faithful comic relief, Kyoami, the Fool (played by Peter...just Peter), and an old assistant, Tango (Masayuki Yui), Hidetora ends up wandering around the landscape, slowly but surely growing madder and madder. But as he loses his sanity, things continue to get worse around him. A plot develops after Taro is killed in battle between his widow, Lady Kaede (Mieko Harada), and Jiro, who begins to control the weakest brother, and an old wound opens when Hidetora stumbles upon an old foe who's eyes he poked out when he was a kid.
The entire story has been told many many times before, but it really needs someone who understands what this story entails. There are many a contradiction in the telling of the story, such as the optimism of a good life's led bringing about a pessimism of everything to come. Kurosawa has no doubtedly had these thoughts, knowing the chronicle of his life, and he ends up telling "Ran" with an understanding of these paradoxes, as well as with some major opposites. There are two major battle sequences in this film, for example, and the way they're handled directly contradict the way the other scenes are handled.
His battle scenes are gory, gratuitous, unevenly paced, and merciless. Most importantly, very little is accomplished in them. But most of the film is filled with chamber-like scenes of people talking, but very much happens. Take for example a scene where Lady Kaede confronts Jiro about her husband's death, and during the course of the scene, threatens his life, seduces him, and totally usurps any power he ever had. As such, it takes great patience to watch "Ran," since everything is told at a leisurely pace, disappointing anyone who thought that "Ran" was just "King Lear, only with samurais and gore."
But the reason "Ran" really works is because it's a great story that is told exceptionally well. Kurosawa's style really works becuase it allows us to look at the drama of the story. The reason we should be motivated to sit through all 160 minutes without a break should not be because every hour and 10 minutes, there's a really nifty battle scene. It's because it transcends all that and really tells the story. A film is never more boring when it's filled with shallow characters taking the easy way out of very dilemna they're charged with. "Ran" gives its characters numerous connundrums, and by the end, everything has been dealt with so badly that it becomes exactly what the title translates to: Chaos.
 Visually, the design is incredible. The film is beautifully shot, and the color scheme in this film is brilliant. During the battle scenes, each army is fitted with a certain color, and when they clash together, it's one of the most breathtaking images ever to grace the screen. His story-telling is wonderful: he paces the film slowly so that all the elements effortlessly come out, and never feel forced. Watching Hidetora's life crumble around upon him is simply stunning, and it could have easily been ruined by direction that was quick and jolting.
I've seen "Ran" twice, once by myself, and another time in a small college theatre with a crowd who was less enthused than I was about the way the film was made. "Ran" holds up for multiple viewings because of the passion that it is told with. We can sense the pain Kurosawa has when he tells the story of Hidetora, so much that he shoots most of everything from a safe distance, maybe hinting that he hopes we never have to arrive at a point like Hidetora's, or Lear's. But when watching this, when we see how he deftly controls his characters and his scenes, and how everything is told with the right amount of looseness and structure, then I guess that at this point, Kurosawa ironically had very little to worry about.

Christmas Gift Guide 2019: 15 gadget gifts and tools for makers, tinkerers and DIY fans
Have yourself a crafty little Christmas
by Chris RowlandsDecking the halls might be part of the fun, but Christmas is no time to rip up the corridor carpets.
Thankfully, there are ways to get your fix of festive fabrication without deconstructing half the house for the sake of hardwood flooring.
From multi-tools to making sets to modular music machines, all of this creative kit is sure to keep tinkerers and bodgers busy during the holidays – and hopefully away from the power tools.
More Christmas gift ideas
Looking for something different? Our full Christmas Gift Guide 2018 hub page has categories to suit every taste, budget and interest.
See more Christmas gift ideas here
Dremel Lite (£74)
Certain festive tasks can only be tackled by human hands. Stringing the tinsel, for example, or basting the turkey. For jobs that would benefit from motorised input, though, a Dremel is indispensable – and the latest version of the miraculous multi-tool is handier than ever. Compact, lightweight and as adaptable as an elf, charge the lithe little Lite via USB and you’ll have a nifty spinner ready for any December DIY.
Polishing your vintage cutlery for Christmas lunch? Dremel. Sanding a rough edge off the nativity scene? Dremel. Picking a present to please the in-laws? That one’s on you.
Sugru Original 8-pack (£10)
Tempers aren’t the only thing that can fray on Christmas Day – and there’s nothing worse than dusting off the slow cooker, only to find its wire is worryingly worn. Thankfully, there’s a simple solution: mould this malleable putty around the cable and, after 24 hours, it’ll set into a silicone rubber shell.
Alas, while it can fix, bond and seal all sorts of stuff, even the sticky power of Sugru can’t repair your strained relationships.
DeWalt DCR011-XJ (£100)
What’s the most important tool on a job? A drill? A driver? An angle grinder? Wrong, wrong and wrong: it’s a speaker. Sure, it can’t make holes in a wall, but without sweet beats to entertain the site crew, construction will soon grind to a halt. Bring bass to the build with DeWalt’s durable Bluetooth boomer.
Rugged, punchy and styled like a power tool, simply stick a spare battery pack in the back and it’ll hammer out the wireless tunes. Or use the one from your drill, if you prefer throwing shapes to making them.
Leatherman Free T4 (£75)
As any seasoned DIY fan knows, the need to fix can come at any time. Keep Leatherman’s Free T4 to hand for true utility wherever you travel: from tightening loose screws to untying new shoes, its array of compact tools can tackle most daily tasks – and a few unusual ones, too.
Besides a knife and four drivers, the pocketable accomplice packs bottle- and package-openers, tweezers, a file, a prying tool and an awl, in case the need to prove your leatherworking prowess unexpectedly arises.
Makedo Toolkit (€13)
Cardboard is a truly versatile construction material and rarely is it found in such abundance as on the floor at Christmas. Don’t sacrifice creative potential in the name of cleanliness: harness its flat-packed adaptability with this nifty tool kit.
Comprised of 28 reusable plastic screws in two sizes, a driver and a compact saw that’s safe for small hands, there’s everything you need to transform packaging into play time. When then den has had its day, simply remove the screws, recycle the boards and wait for the next unboxing.
TechWillSaveUs Music Studio Pack (£80)
Music might be a gift, but every maestro must start somewhere and enduring off-key chords is not the easiest way to spend Christmas Day. Delay the inevitable with this self-assembly kit.
Also available as three separate sets, the synth, guitar and remixer all come flat-packed, so your junior Dr Dre will need to craft before they can play. Once they’re up and strumming, each instrument encourages your sprog rocker to think about sound waves, components and how they work in harmony – even if the resulting noise means you can’t think at all.
XYZPrinting da Vinci Nano (€259)
Marzipan might just be the ultimate creative tool for Yuletide makers. Oh, sure, this desktop 3D printer can fabricate any dinky designs you wirelessly fire at it from the XYZmaker app, but can it create sweet tiny treats styled like your favourite seasonal fruit? No, it can’t.
Still, with a printing speed of 70mm per second and a compact form factor that’s perfect for takeaway making, it’s not a bad backup to your artisanal almond moulding. And, while you can’t munch on what the Nano W forges, at least its filament is biocompostable.
Korg Volca Modular (£179)
You can’t nail them to the wall, but sounds are just as much a medium for making as bricks and mortar. Think synthesising new noises needs a bank-breaking array of knobs and switches? Not if you’ve got a Volca: analogue and semi-modular, this micro synth packs pro potential without the price tag.
From 50 colour-coded patch points across eight modules to a 16-step sequencer for real-time beats, stick its twenty pin cables where you fancy and get twiddling. Who knows, there could be a West Coast Christmas hit within you.


Infinispan eviction, batching updates and LIRS
DataContainer abstraction represents the heart of Infinispan. It is a container structure where actual cache data resides. Every put, remove, get and other invoked cache operations eventually end up in the data container. Therefore, it is of utmost importance the data container is implemented in a way that does not impede overall system throughput. Also recall that the data container’s memory footprint can not grow indefinitely because we would eventually run out of memory; we have to periodically evict certain entries from the data container according to a chosen eviction algorithm.
LRU eviction algorithm, although simple and easy to understand, under performs in cases of weak access locality (one time access entries are not timely replaced, entries to be accessed soonest are unfortunately replaced, and so on). Recently, a new eviction algorithm - LIRS has gathered a lot of attention because it addresses weak access locality shortcomings of LRU yet it retains LRU’s simplicity.
However, no matter what eviction algorithm is utilized, if eviction is not implemented in a scalable, low lock contention approach, it can seriously degrade overall system performance. In order to do any meaningful selection of entries for eviction we have to lock data container until appropriate eviction entries are selected. Having such a lock protected data container in turn causes high lock contention offsetting any eviction precision gained by sophisticated eviction algorithms. In order to get superior throughput while retaining high eviction precision we need both low lock contention data container and high precision eviction algorithm implementation – a seemingly impossible feat.
Instead of making a trade-off between the high precision eviction algorithm and the low lock contention there is a third approach: we keep lock protected data container but we amortize locking cost through batching updates. The basic idea is to wrap any eviction algorithm with a framework that keeps track of cache access per thread (i.e. ThreadLocal) in a simple queue. For each cache hit associated with a thread, the access is recorded in the thread’s queue. If thread’s queue is full or the number of accesses recorded in the queue reaches a certain pre-determined threshold, we acquire a lock and then execute operations defined by the eviction algorithm - once for all the accesses in the queue. A thread is allowed to access many cache items without requesting a lock to run the eviction replacement algorithm, or without paying the lock acquisition cost. We fully exploit a non-blocking lock APIs like tryLock. As you recall tryLock makes an attempt to get the lock and if the lock is currently held by another thread, it fails without blocking its caller thread. Although tryLock is cheap it is not used for every cache access for obvious reasons but rather on certain pre-determined thresholds. In case when thread’s queue is totally full a lock must be explicitly requested. Therefore, using batching updates approach we significantly lower the cost of lock contention, streamline access to locked structures and retain the precision of eviction algorithm such as LIRS. The key insight is that batching the updates on the eviction algorithm doesn’t materially affect the accuracy of the algorithm.
How are these ideas implemented in Infinispan? We introduced BoundedConcurrentHashMap class based on Doug Lea’s ConcurrentHashMap. BoundedConcurrentHashMap hashes entries based on their keys into lock protected segments. Instead of recording entries accessed per thread we record them in a lock free queue on a segment level. The main reason not to use ThreadLocal is that we could potentially have hundreds of threads hitting the data container, some of them very short lived thus possibly never reaching batching thresholds. When predetermined thresholds are reached eviction algorithms is executed on a segment level. Would running eviction algorithm on a segment level rather than entire data container impact overall eviction precision? In our performance tests we have not found any evidence of that.
Infinispan’s eviction algorithm is specified using strategy attribute of eviction XML element. In addition to old eviction approaches, starting with release 4.1.ALPHA2, you can now select LIRS eviction algorithm. LRU remains the default. Also note that starting with 4.1ALPHA2 release there are two distinct approaches to actually evict entries from the cache: piggyback and the default approach using a dedicated EvictionManager thread. Piggyback eviction thread policy, as it name implies, does eviction by piggybacking on user threads that are hitting the data container. Dedicated EvictionManager thread is unchanged from the previous release and it remains the default option. In order to support these two eviction thread policies a new eviction attribute threadPolicy has been added to eviction element of Infinispan configuration schema.
Does eviction redesign based on batching updates promise to live up to its expectations? Ding et al, authors of the original batching proposal, found that their framework increased throughput nearly twofold in comparison with unmodified eviction in postgreSQL 8.2.3. We do not have any numbers to share yet, however, initial testing of BoundedConcurrentHashMap were indeed promising. One of our partner companies replaced their crucial caching component with BoundedConcurrentHashMap and realized a 54% performance improvement on the Berlin SPARQL benchmark for their flagship product. Stay tuned for more updates.
Cheers,
Vladimir

--- layout: post title: "A Moment Please" date: 2018-11-15 18:39:02 +0200 categories: ["The Science Guy"] tags: [time] bootstrap: true feature-img: "assets/img/posts/momentClock.png" thumbnail: "assets/img/posts/momentClock.png" excerpt_separator: ---
Have you ever been in that situation? Someone asks you: "What time is it?". You start to answer: "It's 11, and 23 minutes", "...and 45 seconds, haha" you are made fun of for beeing precise.
One of my favorit watch faces on my smart watch is the fuzzy clock, where the approximate time is given.
From software developer side, it is anoying to have year, month, day, hour, minute, and second all to describe, one thing, time. Thank God, we have unix time. Unix time is a single value. A number consisting of 64 ones and zeros (or a decimal integer) to address all seconds from billions of years before the big bang up to billions of years from now.
While it's easy to develop software with unix time, it's impractical for everyday use. Wouldn't it be nice if we could remove some clutter and have less parameter for time. I have given it some thought and tried to come up with something for the time of the day. What if instead hour, minute and second just have a single number.  So one hour is ten moments. 1 moment is 6 minutes. In my experience, if someone asks me to wait just one moment, only five minutes not more, I usualy end up waiting 6. Hence the name moment. Moments can also be used as fractions. If someone does not need a full moment, she can ask for half a moment.
It turns out, I'm not the first who comes up with an alternative time unit named moment. Not even 240 for a day is something new (citation needed). There have been many ideas and suggestions. I like 240 moments for a day. It has advantages over 100 for a day. The first advantage is: you can easily convert hour and minute to moments. For example, 11:30 is 115 moments = hours x 10 + 30 minutes is 5 moments. The second advantage is 240 can be evenly divided by 3. So, you can for example say an adult should sleep one third of a day or 80 moments. 100 divided by 3 is 33.33333. Not so nice.
Don't confuse my moment time unit with military time. Military time is horrible for a software developer. Military time you can't just add times. 1630 + 30 is not 1660. It's 1700. But in moments 165 + 5 is equal 170. It all works out.

A biotech and a micro-cap ridesharing rental provider entered the public market this past week, and seven companies submitted initial filings.
After delaying its offering in the previous week, 89bio (NASDAQ:ETNB) priced its upsized $85 million IPO at the midpoint and popped 30% on its first day, the second highest of the 4Q19 so far, before finishing the week up 69%. The company's target indication NASH represents a multi-billion-dollar market with no FDA-approved therapy, and 89bio's FGF21 analog showed positive Phase 1 data in healthy volunteers. That said, it has yet to demonstrate proof-of-concept in NASH patients.
YayYo (NASDAQ:YAYO), which operates a fleet management and auto rental platform for ridesharing drivers, raised $11 million to command a $118 million market cap. The company more than tripled sales in the 1H19 while EBITDA swung positive. However, the auto rental industry is highly competitive, and YayYo's relatively small operations didn't bolster investor confidence. The company finished down 10%.

I was doing some reading on the topic of Kubernetes RBAC this week and I realised that a good article on the topic of auditing RBAC by Mark Manning had unfortunately succumbed to bitrot (Although the wayback machine still has a copy), so I thought it would be a good opportunity to revisit the topic as there are some interesting nuances to it.
The challenges of auditing Kubernetes authorization
The idea of auditing the rights that users and services have to the Kubernetes API is obviously an important one in terms of operating a secure cluster. Regular reviews of access to ensure that “least privilege” principles are a necessary part of securing your environment.
Kubernetes authorization is an additive process where the permissions from one or more “modes” are added together to see if a user can access a given resource. The most common of these is RBAC, however from the documentation we can see that there are others (Node, ABAC and Webhook).
This means that in order to effectively audit a cluster’s permissions you need to know which of the modes is enabled and be able to enumerate all the rights granted at each one. Typically (but not always) Node and RBAC will be enabled, but for some managed clusters (e.g. AKS and GKE) Webhook authorization will also be involved.
Auditing Node authorization is pretty simple, it’s a specialist mode which has the purpose of restricting what kubelet credentials can do, which is a mechanism designed to reduce the risk of kubelet credentials being compromised.
Auditing Webhook authorization will depend on how the web service (for example Azure RBAC) being used works.
That leaves us with RBAC. This will pretty much always be enabled, so you’ll need to audit it.
RBAC Complexities
The first complexity to note is that RBAC works at two scopes, namespace and cluster. It uses Role
and RoleBinding
objects at the namespace level and ClusterRole
and ClusterRoleBinding
objects at the cluster level. There’s three combinations of these objects possible, two of which are obvious and the third of which may be surprising.
Role
+RoleBinding
== Rights provided at a namespace levelClusterRole
+ClusterRoleBinding
== Rights provided at a cluster levelClusterRole
+RoleBinding
== Rights provided at a namespace level
Within RBAC there are some other nuances to be aware of as well. Firstly Kubernetes does not have a fixed list of “verbs” that can be applied to resources, in addition to the expected CREATE, GET, PATCH, DELETE you can do things like educate dolphins. Then in terms of the resources themselves, in addition to the standard set that are shipped as part of Kubernetes, there will likely be a large number of custom resources created by software installed in the cluster, for example most CNI providers will have several CRDs relating to networking objects.
So for a comprehensive audit, it’s necessary to understand all the services which are plugged into the Kubernetes API (e.g. operators) and how they are set-up from an authorization perspective.
One other complication is that Kubernetes does not have user database so to find things like which users are in a group mentioned in RBAC, you’ll need to audit the identity system(s) that are used by the cluster.
Given all that what tools do we have that can help us in our work?
RBAC Tooling
Kubectl
First up there are some in-built capabilities within kubectl
which can be handy. The kubectl auth can-i
command can be used as a starting point, although it’s a bit limited when it comes to the unusual verbs we mentioned before.
Running kubectl auth can-i --list
will provide a decent list of rights available via RBAC (but won’t include rights through Webhook authorization)
kubectl auth can-i --list
Resources Non-Resource URLs Resource Names Verbs
*.* [] [] [*]
[*] [] [*]
selfsubjectaccessreviews.authorization.k8s.io [] [] [create]

It’s also possible (if you have the impersonate
right) to run this command as other users to see what their rights look like. So for example to look up the rights of the ttl-controller
in the kube-system
namespace
kubectl --as=system:serviceaccount:kube-system:ttl-controller auth can-i --list

nodes [] [] [list patch update watch]
Third Party
In addition to using kubectl there are a wide variety of third party tools which can be used to help assess RBAC rights. There’s a longer list here but a couple of interesting ones are :-
- rbac-tool - RBAC Toolbox from Alcide. This has a variety of very useful functions like graphing RBAC and doing an analysis for “risky” permissions granted to cluster users.
- Kubiscan - Another tool which can scan for risky permissions, this one from Cyberark.
- krane - RBAC static analysis and visualisation tool from Appvia.
- RBAC Police - RBAC analysis tool from Unit42 with an extensible policy library.
Conclusion
I think it’s clear from this post that auditing Kubernetes authorization can be a bit of a tricky task. Kubernetes flexible architecture makes it difficult to provide generalized auditing tools as the way that clusters are implemented, with multiple authorization modes and the way the RBAC system works makes being definitive about user rights difficult.
Tools are a great way to get started with understanding cluster rights, but we always have to be aware that they can only tell you what they can see within the scope of their operation.

American Martin gets four-year ban for anti-doping violation
American boxer Ryan Martin has been suspended for four years by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) on Wednesday after testing positive for prohibited substances last year.
REUTERS: American boxer Ryan Martin has been suspended for four years by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) on Wednesday after testing positive for prohibited substances last year.
Martin tested positive for the presence of androsterone and etiocholanone, which are metabolites of testosterone, following an in-competition test after his match against Josh Taylor in Glasgow on Nov. 3, 2018.
As the fight occurred under the auspices of the British Boxing Board of Control, the 26-year-old was subject to the national body's anti-doping regulations.
Martin was charged with an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) as a result of the positive test.
"Androsterone and etiocholanone are listed under section S1.1(b) of the WADA 2018 prohibited list as 'endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (list of metabolites and isomers) when administered exogenously'," UKAD said in a statement.
"Exogenous testosterone, androsterone and etiocholanone are all non-specified substances prohibited at all times."
UKAD said Martin's ban would run until midnight on Nov. 2, 2022 and the boxer has the right to appeal the decision.
Ohio-born Martin, in his response to UKAD in March, had said he did not intentionally ingest testosterone and added that the presence of its metabolites in his sample could have been due to contaminated supplements.
"With the number of cases we are currently seeing where an athlete is claiming their failed test is due to contaminated supplements, it's vital all athletes check... any supplements they plan to use," UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead said.
"UKAD would always promote a food-first approach to nutrition. Where supplements are deemed a requirement, the ingredients should be checked against the WADA prohibited list and the supplement itself checked on Informed Sport. If in any doubt, it is simply not worth the risk."

Infrastructure¶
Repositories¶
Staging area for recipes¶
conda-forge/staged-recipes is the entry point for new packages to join the conda-forge package collection. You can find a detailed guide to submitting new package recipes in The staging process.
Smithy¶
Smithy contains maintenance code for conda-forge, which is used by the conda smithy
command line tool and the Admin web services. Smithy lives in the repository conda-forge/conda-smithy.
conda-forge/conda-smithy
is the right repository to report bugs for
the rerendering process
the recipe linter
CI support utils
conda-smithy
also contains the command line tool that you will use if you rerender manually from the command line (see Rerendering feedstocks).
Web services¶
The Heroku app providing the conda-forge web services lives in conda-forge/conda-forge-webservices.
Please note that the code logic provided by the app is in the Smithy
repository.
Bugs or suggestions regarding the service functionality should therefore be opened in conda-forge/conda-smithy
’s bug tracker.
conda-forge pinning¶
Package-wide dependency pins are defined in conda_build_config.yaml in the conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock.
For more information on conda-forge wide package pins, please refer to Globally pinned packages.
Please open a PR and/or issues there if you think a pin needs to be advanced. For more information on updating globally pinned packages, please refer to Updating package pins.
Documentation¶
The documentation lives in conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io and is automatically deployed to our online version.
The documentation is built with Sphinx
and the sources files are located in the src directory of the repository.
If you found a typo, unclear explanations or new topics that could be covered, you can suggest changes to the documentation. For more details, please refer to Improving the documentation.
Admin web services¶
conda-forge is running a webservice on Heroku called conda-forge-webservices.
The following services are run by default on a feedstock:
It will lint the recipes in the PRs and report back whether the recipe is in excellent condition or not.
When maintainers are added to a recipe, the maintainer will be added to the team and given push access.
The webservice also listens to issue and PR comments so that you can ask for the following services to be done.
@conda-forge-admin, please rerender¶
Entering the above phrase in a PR of a feedstock will rerender the feedstock and push the changes to your PR.
Make sure to tick the Allow edits from maintainers.
button locate at the bottom of the right side bar of
the PR. If you say this phrase in an issue comment, the bot will create a new pull request with the requested
re-rendering completed.
@conda-forge-admin, please add noarch: python¶
Entering the above phrase in a PR or issue of a feedstock will add noarch: python
to the build and rerender the feedstock
for you.
@conda-forge-admin, please update for conda-build 3¶
This command will attempt to update a recipe to the new conda-build 3 format. It can be sent either in an issue or a PR.
Note that this update command is kind of a hack, and things might go wrong. Make sure to look over the changes, and ask for help if you’re not sure about something.
@conda-forge-admin, please lint¶
Entering the above phrase in a PR of a feedstock will lint the PR again.
@conda-forge-admin, please update circle¶
Entering the above phrase in an issue of a feedstock will update the Circle-CI SSH deploy key. This will fix the
permission denied (public key)
issue in Circle-CI’s checkout phase; it shouldn’t be needed otherwise.
@conda-forge-admin, please update team¶
Entering the above phrase in an issue will update the team for the feedstock. This is usually done automatically.
@conda-forge-admin, please restart ci¶
Entering this command in the PR of a feedstock or staged-recipes will close and then open the PR, causing all of the CI builds to restart.
@conda-forge-admin, please ping team¶
Entering this command in the PR of a feedstock or staged-recipes will have the admin bot @-mention the team
associated with the repo. This command can be useful for people who are not yet members of conda-forge and
so cannot @-mention the staged-recipes
team for PR reviews.
@conda-forge-admin, please rerun bot¶
Entering this command in a PR comment will add the bot-rerun
label to that PR. This label will cause
the auto-tick
bot that issues migration and version updates to close the current PR and reissue it.
Adding this label to non-bot issued PRs will have no effect.
@conda-forge-admin, please add bot automerge¶
Entering this command in the title or comment of an issue will instruct the admin bot to
open a PR enabling the automatic merging of passing PRs from the auto-tick
bot. This functionality is currently experimental. You can find more details
here.
Please open issue on regro/cf-scripts
for any feedback, bugs, and/or questions!
@conda-forge-admin, please add python 2.7¶
Entering this command in the title of an issue will instruct the admin bot to
add Python 2.7 back to a feedstock. Note that this command will remove any other
Python versions and any win
, aarch64
or ppc64le
builds. Thus you should
merge the PR into a separate branch on your feedstock if you want to keep these
other builds.
CI build services¶
Here we describe common issues with the CI Services that conda-forge builds.
Azure Pipelines¶
Azure is used to build packages for OS X, Linux (x86_64, native), Linux (ARMv8, emulated) and Linux (IBM Power8+, emulated). The build queue on Azure is substantially larger than on all the other providers. Azure builds have a maximum duration of 6 hours.
To see all builds on Azure go to https://dev.azure.com/conda-forge/feedstock-builds/_build.
Restarting builds¶
Presently Azure does not sync GitHub users. In order to restart a build you can restart it from the GitHub checks interface.
If that doesn’t work, a close/open will kick off a new build. You can also use the web services command @conda-forge-admin, please restart ci
.
Using Azure for everything¶
Azure is the default provider for Linux and OS X. To use Azure for everything, add the following to conda-forge.yml
in the root
of the feedstock.
provider:
win: azure
Note
Presently Azure has some issues building libraries using cmake on Windows. Azure does not have a VS2008 installation so building certain very old packages that require VC9 will fail.
Travis CI (OS X, IBM Power 8+)¶
Travis CI is used to build packages for IBM Power 8+. After merging a staged-recipes pull request, it might be necessary to force sync your repositories in Travis CI to see the reload and cancel buttons. To do this please visit https://travis-ci.com/profile and click “Sync accounts”.
Enabling Travis¶
TravisCI should only be needed to build recipes on OS X if there is a strange failure on Azure.
Enable a build by adding the following to conda-forge.yml
in the root of the feedstock.
provider:
osx: travis
For IBM Power 8+ builds, add the name of your feedstock to the list here https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/migrations/arch_rebuild.txt via a pull request.
CircleCI (Linux, OS X)¶
Circle CI is a container-based CI service that conda-forge uses to build Linux packages. It can optionally build OS X packages.
Linux builds are identical to those on Azure as both are built inside Docker containers.
Using Circle for both Linux and OS X¶
To use CircleCI for OS X, add the following to conda-forge.yml
in the root of the feedstock.
provider:
osx: circle
linux: circle
CircleCI for OS X should be used for OS X only when Travis-CI resources (50 minutes of build time per job) are not enough as CircleCI gives more resources (2 hours of build time per job).
Note that you need to rerender the feedstock once this change has been made.
Enabling Circle on your Fork¶
If for some reason Circle CI is not triggering build from forks, Circle can be manually added for each fork. Circle calls this “Adding a Project” and the official Circle’s documentation is available here. This effectively amounts to going to the Add Projects page, finding the fork that you wish to enable, and clicking the “Build Project” button. This is not normally needed.
If CircleCI lacks permissions to checkout the source code, it will produce an error like follows:
Cloning into '.'...
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '<IP_ADDRESS>' to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
When this happens for a feedstock, it can be fixed using the webservice, by posting the following comment:
@conda-forge-admin, please update circle
Otherwise (e.g. in a PR to staged-recipes), here are some things you can try:
Log in and out of Circle CI.
Revoke Circle CI’s access and then enable it again.
In the “Checkout SSH keys” section of your Circle CI project settings, press “add user key”.
Drone.io¶
We use Drone.io for Linux ARMv8 builds. To enable these builds on your feedstock, make a pull request to add your feedstock to the list here https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/migrations/arch_rebuild.txt.
GitHub Actions¶
We use GitHub actions to rerender feedstocks and run our pull request automerge service. We do not currently support builds on GitHub Actions.
Skipping CI builds¶
To skip a CI build for a given commit, put [ci skip] ***NO_CI***
in the commit message.
Third-party Use of Our CI Services¶
Due to its stature in the open-source community, conda-forge has enhanced access to certain CI services. This access is a community resource entrusted to conda-forge for use in building packages. We thus cannot support third-party or “off-label” CI jobs in our feedstocks on any of our CI services. If we find such use, we will politely ask the maintainers to rectify the situation. We may take more serious actions, including archiving feedstocks or removing maintainers from the organization, if the situation cannot be rectified.
Compilers and Runtimes¶
Conda-forge builds and maintains its own set of compilers for various languages
and/or systems (e.g., C
, FORTRAN
, C++
, CUDA
, etc.). These are used
in all of our CI builds to build both core dependencies (e.g., Python
) and maintainer-contributed
packages. While we do not have any formal policies or promises of support for these
compilers, we have historically maintained them according to the following (non-binding)
principles.
The authoritative source of the current compilers and versions for various languages and platforms is the conda_build_config.yaml in the conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock as described in Globally pinned packages.
We provide no support of any kind in terms of the long-term stability of these pinnings.
We upgrade them in an ad-hoc manner on a periodic basis as we have the time and energy to do so. Note that because of the way we enforce runtime constraints, these compiler upgrades will not break existing packages. However, if you are using the compilers outside of
conda
, then you may find issues.We generally provide notice in the form of an announcement when a compiler is going to be upgraded. Note that these changes take a bit of time to complete, so you will generally have time to prepare should you need to.
Some of the criteria we think about when considering a compiler migration include 1) the degree of disruption to the ecosystem, 2) the amount of work for the
core
team, and 3) the amount of time it will cost our (volunteer) feedstock maintainers.
We do use some unofficial names for our compiler stack internally. Note however that the existence of these names does not imply any level of support or stability for the compilers that form the given stack.
Our current compiler stack is referred to internally as
comp7
.The previous compiler stack based in part on the various
toolchain_*
packages was sometimes referred to ascomp4
. On linux thetoolchain_*
compilers were GCC 4.8.2 as packaged in the devtoolset-2 software collection. On osx, we use clang from Apple’s Xcode in thetoolchain_*
packages.
CentOS sysroot
for linux-*
Platforms¶
We currently repackage the sysroot
from the appropriate version of CentOS for use
with our compilers. These sysroot
files are available in the sysroot_linux-*
packages.
These packages have version numbers that match the version of glibc
they package. These
versions are 2.12
for CentOS 6 and 2.17
for CentOS 7.
For gcc
/gxx
/gfortran
versions prior to 8.4.0
on ppc64le and ``7.5.0
on aarch64
/x86_64
, we had been building our own versions of glibc
. This practice
is now deprecated in favor of the CentOS-based sysroots
. Additionally, as of the same
compiler versions above, we have removed the cos*
part of the sysroot
path. The new
sysroot
path has in it simply conda
as opposed to conda_cos6
or conda_cos7
.
Output Validation and Feedstock Tokens¶
As of writing, anaconda.org
does not support generating API tokens that are scoped
to allow uploads for some packages but not others. In order to secure feedstock uploads,
so that, e.g., the maintainers of the numpy
feedstock cannot push a python
version,
we use a package staging process and issue secret tokens unique to each feedback. This process
works as follows.
When a CI job on a feedstock is building packages to be uploaded to
anaconda.org
, it first uploads them to a staging channel,cf-staging
.Then the feedback CI job makes an API call to our admin webservices server with its secret token and some information about the package it is trying to upload.
The webservices server validates the secret token, the integrity of the package, and that the package is allowed for the given feedstock.
If all of the validation passes, the package is then copied to the
conda-forge
channel.
We attempt to report errors in this process to users via comments on commits/issues in the feedstocks.
Note however that sometimes these fail. If you think you are having trouble with uploads, make
sure conda_forge_output_validation: true
is set in your conda-forge.yml
and rerender
your feedstock with the latest version of conda-smithy
. Finally, new packages that are added to
feedstocks are registered automatically and once uploaded successfully once, no other feedstock
will be able to upload packages with the same name.

CONSUMING PASSIONS A film review by Jeff Meyer Copyright 1988 Jeff Meyer
See at the Seattle Film Festival: CONSUMING PASSIONS (Great Britain, 1988) Director: Giles Foster Screenwriters: Paul D. Zimmerman and Andrew Davies, based on a play by Michael Palin and Terry Jones Cast: Tyler Butterworth, Jonathan Pryce, Vanessa Redgrave, Freddie Jones, Prunella Scales
This following plot summary hardly gives away anything about *this* movie, since the major plot impetus occurs in the first five minutes. Chumley Chocolates, that stately family firm, has been sold to a Nestles-like food corporation; saintly old Mr. Chumley (Freddie Jones, with *brown*-stained lips this time around) has stayed on as a figurehead, but the real power behind the throne is a corporate representative played by Jonathan Pryce, in one of those roles where the actor is so perfect for the part that you almost sigh with satisfaction when he's on. He's pushed Chumley into selling a new line of chocolates without any chocolate in them -- he's counting on the high-sex advertising to sell them to the British sweet-eaters. Into the whole shebang comes innocent young nebbish Tyler Butterworth, who in his first few clumsy minutes on the job manages to knock three factory workers into the automated chocolate-making machine. That's the bad news. The good news is that only Jones, Pryce and Butterworth (and the head secretary) know what happened. On the down side, though, the chocolate tainted with the bodies of the men has gotten out to a seaside resort. Even worse, the new chocolates are being poorly received all over the country...except in the little seaside community, where people just *can't* get *enough* of them.
Well, it's clear to Pryce that he's got one heck of a secret ingredient on his hands; the question is, will Butterworth and Chumley go along with it? More importantly, where can he get more of the necessary, um, *supplies*? It's a wonderful set-up for the rest of the film, and in general, it lives up to its potential, though it doesn't exceed it. There is a long, slow period in the middle; I suspect that this is where the screenwriters added extra material to stretch the Palin/Jones play, and it's a rather obvious break. But the beginning and end are quite good, and the supporting characters carry it as decently as anyone could. Particularly hilarious is Vanessa Redgrave as an aging nymphomaniac, whose price for silence about her husband's chocolate-coated demise is Butterworth's constant attention to her carnal desires. I can think of a dozen ways this could have fallen flat into something out of Benny Hill, but Redgrave is so inexhaustibly delighted with having Butterworth's services at her beck and call that it really is quite funny -- her open-mouthed grin has to be seen to be appreciated.
However, CONSUMING PASSIONS derives much of the humor from its premise, and that's outlined within the first fifteen minutes. The rest of the film is fairly standard; even though the play was written by a couple of ex-Pythons, it doesn't get really zany until the end (with the hilarious exception of an AIDS prevention poster sight-gag), preferring to stay with controlled slapstick like A PRIVATE FUNCTION but with less appealing subjects for humor (there isn't a character here that you'll have much concern for, which is probably a good thing). Butterworth in particular becomes rather annoying after awhile; he's good as the comic foil to the events overtaking him, but at times he seems to be shooting for the title of the British Don Knotts.
A decent $3.50 film, unless you're a fan of British comedies, in which case full price is quite acceptable.
