Three common ways for a prospective owner to acquire a dog is from pet shops, private owners, or shelters.
A pet shop may be the most convenient way to buy a dog. Buying a dog from a private owner allows you to assess the pedigree and upbringing of your dog before choosing to take it home. Lastly, finding your dog from a shelter, helps give a good home to a dog who may not find one so readily.

Below is an example dataset showing the survival rates of two different cohorts ('regular' and 'high end') over 12 time periods. Retentionizer uses the techniques from How to Project Customer Retention (Fader & Hardie, 2006) to extrapolate cohort survival rate and an implementation of those techniques by JD Maturen.
The paper summarizes the idea rather well:
As an alternative to common “curve-fitting” regression models, we develop and demonstrate a probability model with a well-grounded “story” for the churn process. We show that our basic model (known as a “shifted-beta-geometric”)... provides remarkably accurate forecasts and other useful diagnostics about customer retention.
| t | regular | high end |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| 1 | 0.631 | 0.869 |
| 2 | 0.468 | 0.743 |
| 3 | 0.382 | 0.653 |
| 4 | 0.326 | 0.593 |
| 5 | 0.289 | 0.551 |
Retentionizer will fit a shifted-beta-geometric distribution to the data, show the projected retention rates for each cohort, show the imputed beta distribution for each cohort, and calculate the LTV of a given customer in that cohort.
Retentionizer is built by David Chudzicki and Chris Clark.

Palma Hideaway in Mallorca is obscured from the street by a tiny tiled garden
by Ali MorrisArchitect Mariana De Delás created a green-tile garden to keep this apartment – which was formerly a motorcycle workshop – out of sight from the busy streets of Palma, Mallorca.
Built from traditional Mallorcan limestone, the 92-square-metre Palma Hideaway is situated in the city's old quarter and was bought by its current owners as a disused motorcycle repair shop.
It had a neglected courtyard and an entrance that opened directly onto the street.
Architect Mariana De Delás was brought on board to transform the space into a peaceful apartment that optimised the building's lofty ceilings and outdoor space.
She began by creating a new "garden" at the front of the building that provides separation from the bustling street. The lower half of a pinewood wall in the entryway has been clad with dark-green tiles to create the illusion of greenery, complemented by a couple of planters.
A built-in bench seat has also been included in a nod to traditional Mediterranean courtyards.
"As the existing ground-floor access door created a very violent connection between the road and the studio, it was essential to integrate an intermediate buffer garden area," said De Delás.
"It serves as a way to get light inside and also acts as an acoustic and privacy barrier from the street."
The tiny garden sits behind a folding door made from perforated steel that allows the light to filter through while blocking the view of passersby on the street.
The apartment itself is entered through a second timber-framed glass-door that blocks out the noise from the nearby road.
"The space between these two skins can be totally or partially opened, with a large number of variations to suit every need," explained De Delás.
The material palette of green tiles and pine slats that are used in the garden is continued throughout the apartment, contrasting against the original limestone walls and traditional vaulted ceilings.
The apartment's plan revolves around a single, diagonal partition-wall which is meant to serve as both a room divider and storage space. Its diagonal positioning also guides the eye towards the rear courtyard.
To the left of the partition lies the bedroom, where the wooden floor has been slightly raised – an attempt by De Delás to make the ceiling appear lower and thus create a cosier atmosphere.
In the all-white master bathroom, the floor has been raised enough to accommodate a sunken bath lined with the same dark-green tiles that appear elsewhere.
Social areas like the kitchen, living and dining rooms are positioned on the right side of the partition in an open-plan layout with polished concrete flooring.
A kitchen island with a green-tile countertop and chunky pink legs that De Delás designed in collaboration with young Mallorcan designers 2Monos Studio serves as a gathering point in the middle of this area.
The living room and dining area are accessed through a wide glass-door. A small guest room and a secondary bathroom has then been created within a former storage space that also looks out onto the courtyard.
Back in 2014, De Delás worked with Norwegian studio Gartnerfuglen to design the Grooming Retreat – a contemplation space that a young equestrian could use before and after horse riding sessions.

You can debug a specific query at the query level by adding the <trace>
keyword before the query string that you want to debug.
Here is an example:
<trace> select * from /exampleRegion
You can also write:
<TRACE> select * from /exampleRegion
When the query is executed, Geode will log a message in $GEMFIRE_DIR/system.log
with the following information:
[info 2011/08/29 11:24:35.472 PDT CqServer <main> tid=0x1] Query Executed in 9.619656 ms; rowCount = 99; indexesUsed(0) "select * from /exampleRegion"
If you want to enable debugging for all queries, you can enable query execution logging by setting a System property on the command line during start-up:
gfsh>start server --name=server_name -–J=-Dgemfire.Query.VERBOSE=true
Or you can set the property programmatically:
System.setProperty("gemfire.Query.VERBOSE","true");
As an example, let us say you have an EmployeeRegion that that contains Employee objects as values and the objects have public fields in them like ID and status.
Employee.java
Class Employee {
public int ID;
public String status;
- - - - - -
- - - - - -
}
In addition, you have created the following indexes for the region:
<index name="sampleIndex-1">
<functional from-clause="/test " expression="ID"/>
</index>
<index name="sampleIndex-2">
<functional from-clause="/test " expression="status"/>
</index>
After you have set gemfire.Query.VERBOSE
to “true”, you could see the following debug messages in the logs after running queries on the EmployeeRegion or its indexes:
If indexes are not used in the query execution, you would see a debug message like this:
[info 2011/08/29 11:24:35.472 PDT CqServer <main> tid=0x1] Query Executed in 9.619656 ms; rowCount = 99; indexesUsed(0) "select * from /test k where ID > 0 and status='active'"
When single index is used in query execution, you might see a debug message like this:
[info 2011/08/29 11:24:35.472 PDT CqServer <main> tid=0x1] Query Executed in 101.43499 ms; rowCount = 199; indexesUsed(1):sampleIndex-1(Results: 199) "select count * from /test k where ID > 0"
When multiple indexes are used by a query, you might see a debug message like this:
[info 2011/08/29 11:24:35.472 PDT CqServer <main> tid=0x1] Query Executed in 79.43847 ms; rowCount = 199; indexesUsed(2):sampleIndex-2(Results: 100),sampleIndex-1(Results: 199) "select * from /test k where ID > 0 OR status='active'"
In above log messages, the following information is provided:
- “rowCount” represents ResultSet size for the query.
- “indexesUsed(\n) ” shows n indexes were used for finding the results of the query.
- Each index name and its corresponding results are reported respectively.
- The log can be identified with the original query string itself appended in the end.

SimpleNLG-ZH
SimpleNLG-ZH is a realisation engine for Mandarin that follows the software design paradigm of SimpleNLG, i.e., keeping a clear separation between morphological and syntactic operations. Mandarin, as a highly analytical language, needs far fewer morphological operations but many more syntactic constraints than English. SimpleNLG-ZH (“Zhongwen” is Mandarin for “Chinese’”) was first built as a realiser for generating referring expressions in Mandarin which are mostly noun phrases together with simple verb phrases, and then extended to cover other constructions and phenomena in Mandarin. The current version of SimpleNLG-ZH was developed as an adaptation from V4.4.8 of the original SimpleNLG.
The source code of SimpleNLG-ZH (written in Java) can be downloaded at: here.

QTUNA
QTUNA is a series of elicitation experiments in which human speakers were asked to perform a linguistic task that invites the use of quantified expressions in order to inform a possible Natural Language Generation algorithms that mimic humans’ use of quantified expressions. This work was inspired by a line of work focusing one specific class of noun phrases, i.e., referring expression, where they focus on corpora of referring expressions that were elicited under experimentally controlled conditions (e.g., TUNA experiment), but aiming this time to gain insights into quantified noun phrases.
The dataset yielded from the QTUNA experiments can be found at: here.
References:
Chen G., van Deemter K., Pagliaro S., Smalbil L. and Lin C. QTUNA: A Corpus for Understanding How Speakers Use Quantification, The 12th International Conference on Natural Language Generation, Tokyo, 2019.
Quantified Description Generation
We designed two quantified description generation (QDG) algorithms, namely, the incremental algorithm and the greedy algorithm, for simulating human production of quantified expressions, and for reproducing descriptions in the QTUNA dataset.
Given a target scene with its domain knowledge, the generator constructs a set containing all possible scenes in the same domain as the target scene. The generator then calls a QDG algorithm to construct a description containing a set of QEs. The algorithm selects from a set of candidate quantified patterns, based on the common knowledge by mimicking how human beings did so in the QTUNA experiment. Finally, a simple template-based surface realiser is called to map the description (in logical form) into natural language text.
The source code (written in Python) can be downloaded at: here.

LoadWorld()
语法
Result = LoadWorld(Filename$)概要
This function loads an entire world. Currently, the Quake3 BSP format is the only one supported but more formats will follow. The Filename$ must be accessible in the 3D path, so the Add3DArchive() function should be used before calling this function. A world can be easily created using third party tools like 'Quark'. A world can contain a sky, building, lights and more. Actually, all Quake 3 maps can be loaded out of the box with full detail. If the 'Result' is 0, the world could not be loaded.
The BSP format is owned by iD Software and can only be used in freeware programs. Commercial software must acquire a license from iD to use this format. The license scheme is beyond PureBasic and Fantaisie Software can't be responsible for the incorrect use of this function.

Phase 2: Interior
I drive the truck to work a few days a week and it's running great.
It gets about 12 MPG, so it's a little expensive to drive everyday,
but it's a blast to drive. Tons of power and the convertible is great
during the summer!
It turns out that the 4L60E I have is not quite the same as a Camaro.
The Torque Converter lockup mechanism is different. In a Camaro, two
solenoids are used (on/off and pulse-width-modulated), but my tranny
only has one simple one. (on/off) As a result, the camaro computer is
setting a code indicating a solenoid failure and according to the shop
manual, is disabling the lockup entirely. I'm still not sure exactly
how to resolve this one. More research required...
Tailgate (Done)
The stock tailgate with the manual window crank was broken. A power window
tailgate from a wrecking yard was installed. The glass from my
old tailgate was installed (the wrecking yard gate had a broken window).
I picked the gate up for free; I just traded my old drive train, minus
the old engine for it. Installation went pretty smoothly. The switch
that is normally installed on the dash between the stereo and ash tray was
instead installed in my center console.
Driver door (Done)
The driver door was quite a mess. The window wouldn't stay on
it's track and had to be helped to roll up. The door wasn't hung strait
and hit the door sill whenever you closed it, so the paint was totally worn
off in the door jamb.
Simple solution. The door was removed and the hinges were re-mounted to
take out the slack of the worn joints. The window guide rails were missing
a few bolts, and were bent so they were bent back into shape. Much
better now.
Softer Rear Springs (Done)
The stock rear springs on the truck were very stiff. Great for
towing, but horrible on bumpy roads or for long drives. Since I'm
not planning on towing, and I want articulation and a nice road ride,
I installed some ~90 Blazer rear springs. They have the rubber sliders
in between the leafs and are quite a bit softer metal. I also removed
the overload spring for added travel, and installed a 4 degree shim to
help resolve some of the drive line angle problems. (Much smoother
at 70-80mph now.)
Steering box and frame crack (Done)
As is common on this generation of Chevy trucks, the frame was cracked
by the steering box and had to be welded. I recently purchased a small
MIG welder, brushed up on my welding skills and took care of this myself.
After market shaped steel plates were welded in to increase the strength,
although with 33" tires it's probably overkill.
With the steering gear box removed, you can see the cracks. The most obvious
one is on the lower rear bolt hole (lower right) and a less obvious one is on the upper
front bolt hole.
The steel plates were welded on (after filling the cracks and welding them individually)
I was also having problems with the power steering gear box. It was
obviously a mess on the inside. The gear box was replaced with a
reman. unit and things are much better now. My power steering pump
seems to have suffered a little, as it makes a little more noise now,
but it's livable.
Steering column/wheel (Done)
Some prior owner had put on a cheap after market steering wheel, which had
not stood up very well. The foam grip was disintegrating and the bolts
that held it on were rusting. To bring the truck up to a more modern standard
I installed a late model tilt column with cruise control and intermittent
wipers. For now the wipers are still just off-low-high but I might look
at replacing the whole unit as it's fairly tired anyway. I also installed
an early 90's steering wheel (pre-air-bag of course.) The steering is
getting much better now!
Below is a picture of the old seats and steering column.
And the new steering wheel/column:
Roll cage (Mostly done)
Safety is definitely a high priority on this truck, so a full cage
is being built for the cab. I've purchased the parts from Smittybuilt.
They sell a bolt in roll bar for the bed and a weld in cage kit that adds
on to the roll bar. I've put together these core parts for the cage as
you can see from the picture below. The only thing I still have to add to
"finish" the cage is some extra spreader bars running from the lower front
corners to the roll bar lower section, to prevent side impact collapse.
Also, I need to put an inner spreader to make the upper race harness
mounts so they are properly aligned. Right now the sholder straps are
at too steep of an angle to be very effective in an accident. I plan to weld
in a new bar slightly lower to mount the sholder straps on.
Front Seats and Restraints
I've installed some
Corbeau Targa RS
seats along with 5 point racing harnesses. I wasn't totally satisfied
with the brackets/sliders that came with the seats for the blazer.
They tilt forward (the front of the seat is below the back and "leans"
you forward. I prefer to sit with my but below my knees so I've re-built
the brackets. The new brackets also have the added benifit of roughly
1 cubic foot volume and house a 10" woofer each. I'm still putting the
finishing touches on them and should get some pictures before too long.
The new mounts/speaker box:
And the new back seat:
Center Console (Done)
I've installed a Tuffy
Deluxe stereo console so that I can leave the top off all summer and
not worry about my stereo or valuables getting stolen.
The stereo is mounted in the console, along with a few other
misc. switches so that I can reach them with the racing harness on. (only
tailgate window switch so far) The CD changer is inside, along with
the EQ display.
Shocks (Done)
Here's a rough CAD drawing of the basic design I used. A 2-3"
tube was welded in between the frame rails just above and in front of the rear axle
and contains three bolts. Two for the top mounts of the shocks and
a third for a limiting strap. The lower shock mounts are welded to
the front of the axle tubes. I'll use a set of Rancho RS-9012 shock, which
have a min of 18.94" and a max of 32.91" (Pretty darn close to my design)
And here are some shots of the final product.
Stereo (Done)
I have an Alpine system left over from my 4Runner
project and I've installed most of those components in this truck.
The deck and changer are in the center console so I can lock them up in the summer
when the top is off. The amps are in custom kick-panels in the rear, in front
of the rear wheel wells. I've got two-way seperates in the front, and two-ways
in the rear, and two 10" woofers, one under each front seat.
Brakes (Mostly done)
I've installed an adjustable proportioning valve to adjust the bias
between front and rear. Turns out the stock prop. valve was sending far
too much power to the back end and the truck was extremely eager to lock
up the rear tires. The driver side rear tire still seems to lock up faster than
the rest, but it's much better. (Still have to figure out what's up with
that) I think the problem is probably the front-breaks, in that they
aren't as effective as they should be. I'll probably need to have them
rebuilt, or pick-up some reman' ones.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Other symptoms that are less common and may affect some patients include aches and pains, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or a rash on skin or discoloration of fingers or toes. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms.
Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. Around 1 out of every 5 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart and lung problems, diabetes, or cancer, are at higher risk of developing serious illness. However, anyone can catch COVID-19 and become seriously ill. People of all ages who experience fever and/or cough associated with difficulty breathing/shortness of breath, chest pain/pressure, or loss of speech or movement should seek medical attention immediately. If possible, it is recommended to call the health care provider or facility first, so the patient can be directed to the right clinic.

Honestly one of the best Disney 'princess' movies. It
literally follows Campbell's Hero's Journey to the
LETTER. Really liked the crab dude, and the homage to
Fury Road. Animation is beautiful, and I really
enjoyed seeing Polynesians represented in a film like
this. I also thought it was very clever to make the
island hopping the central point of the film, as I do
think that's one of the most bad ass bits of history
about that part of the world. gOOd fILm.

PECKER (M). (New Line Cinema/Village Roadshow) Director: John Waters Stars: Edward Furlong, Christina Ricci, Martha Plimpton, Brendon Sexton III, Mary Kay Place, Mark Joy, Lili Taylor, Patricia Hearst, Bess Armstrong, Mink Stole, Jean Schertler, Lauren Hulsey Running time: 87 minutes.
Over the past decade, John Waters seems to have adopted a more mainstream ethos with his decidedly off beat comedies that satirise certain elements of contemporary culture (Hairspray, Cry Baby and Serial Mom). However, Baltimore's most notorious cult film maker has still not lost his flair for tasteless and tacky observations about human nature. Those more familiar with Waters' past work will probably not be surprised that the director seems to have mellowed with age and experience. Nor will they be overly surprised at the almost uncharacteristic restraint shown in Pecker. Although Pecker is nowhere near as outrageous as his earlier films (Pink Flamingos, etc), there are still many moments in this clever and quite funny film that will shock or upset some elements within the audience.
One of Waters' better and more accessible films, Pecker is a dry, witty and deliciously off beat take on the nature of celebrity, which often comes at a high price. This is territory that has been explored recently by Woody Allen (Celebrity) and Ron Howard (Edtv), but Waters gives us his own idiosyncratic take on the issue. The film also pricks the pretensions of the sycophantic art world and New York (although sometimes the two are synonymous). Waters also takes a gentle swipe at the narrow minded attitudes and hypocrisy of the working class in insular, small town America.
Pecker primarily traces the loss of innocence of its eponymous hero, played with a wonderful combination of appeal and naiveté by T2's Edward Furlong. Eighteen year old Pecker is an amateur photographer who snaps candid shots of the residents of his hometown of Hampden. When he arranges a small exhibition inside the sandwich shop where he works, Pecker's life changes. He is discovered by Rorey (Lily Taylor, from I Shot Andy Warhol, etc), a voracious New York dealer who quickly transforms him into the next big thing in the art world.
But as fame and potential fortune are Pecker's for the taking, he finds that the unwelcome spotlight of media attention also falls on his culturally challenged family as well as his friends. His girlfriend Shelley (beautifully played by teen indy queen Christina Ricci, in a role originally intended for Ricki Lake), who officiously runs the town's laundromat, finds herself alienated from Pecker and his sudden fame. His kleptomaniac best friend Matt (played with enthusiasm by Brendon Sexton III, from Hurricane Streets, etc) also finds his lifestyle altered as he is unable to enter those stores where he practised his "five fingered discounts."
Even the townsfolk of Hampden turn on the gay subculture and the sleazier elements that they had reluctantly tolerated for years, until they were thrust into the public spotlight through Pecker's pictures. Pecker is faced with the choice of pursuing his art at all costs or returning to the unassuming small town amateur he once was.
Waters traces Pecker's getting of wisdom with a raunchy humour and a real affection for the character. He obviously identifies strongly with Pecker, and Furlong's sympathetic portrayal also endears him to the audience. The ensemble cast all deliver solid performances and bring to life Waters' wonderfully colourful gallery of eccentric characters.

Gesamtkunstwerk?
by Lindsay William-Ross / Vancouver Is AwesomeA massive spinning chandelier is being installed under Vancouver's Granville Street Bridge.
The four-by-six-metre kinetic sculpture is the work of Abbotsford-born artist Rodney Graham and is affiliated with the Vancouver House development.
Vancouver House was designed by Bjarke Ingels, and the project overall was posited as being “Gesamtkunstwerk” or a “living sculpture.”
To that end, Graham’s public art piece will slowly rotate and rise over the course of 24 hours, then once a day release and dynamically spin back to its starting point.
Approved by Vancouver city council in December 2015, installation for the $1.2 million chandelier was expected to happen in 2017 or 2018.
However, installation finally began this month and is expected to take another couple of weeks.


Sally Lloyd and Stephen Roberts
This tutorial will take you through a 'toy' problem in computational science. You will develop a computer program that simulates the motion of a ball in a box . This program will be written in visual python - a language designed to make the development of this type of physical simulation simple.
Computational science involves using mathematical models and computer programs to improve our understanding of the way the world works. There are three parts to the process:
Find a complete mathematical description of the system that will include all the behaviour you are interested in.
Construct an efficient computer code that solves these equations
Extract results and predictions that can be compared with real world, with experiments or with other scientific theories.
These steps are repeated to refine both the computer program and our understanding of the problem.
VPython is a programming language that is easy to learn and is well suited to creating simple 3D models and visualisations of physical systems. VPython has three components that you will deal with directly:
Python, a programming language invented in 1990 by Guido van Rossem, a Dutch computer scientist. Python is a modern, object-oriented language which is easy to learn.
VPython, a 3D graphics module for Python created by David Scherer while he was a student at Carnegie Mellon University. VPython allows you to create and animate 3D objects, and to navigate around in a 3D scene by spinning and zooming, using the mouse.
IDLE, an interactive editing environment, written by van Rossem and modified by Scherer, which allows you to enter computer code, try your program, and get information about your program.
This tutorial starts with a cut down version of the 'standard' VPython tutorial. The tutorial assumes that Python and Visual are installed on the computer you are using. If you need to install any of these, follow this link to the VPython web page
The first section of the tutorial introduces you to programming in visual python by stepping through a program to display a ball bouncing around inside a box. In the next tutorial this program will be modified to become a simulation of an ideal gas.
Start VPython or IDLE (an editor for creating Python computer code).
If you are using a windows machine this will probably be possible via the start menu.
If you are working on a Unix (Linux) computer, then type 'vpython' at a prompt on a shell window. This will bring up an interactive Python window. You then need to select New Window from the File menu of this first Python window.
Vpython will demand that you save a copy of your working file somewhere before it will execute the program. Save it in your present working directory which will probably be /student/<username>
A window labelled 'Untitled' should appear. This is the window in which you will type your program. Type the following statements (You can select the text below and then paste it into IDLE.):
#########################################
# Import the visual library
#########################################
from visual import *
##########################################
# Create Wall(s)
##########################################
wallR = box(pos=vector(6,0,0), length=0.2, height=4, width=4, color = color.red)
##########################################
# Create Ball(s)
##########################################
ball = sphere(pos=vector(-5,0,0), radius=1.0, color=color.green)
IDLE will colour different sections of the program to make it easier to read. For example comment lines, which begin with the # symbol are red. The functions sphere and box are ’constructors’ for 3D objects. The position of an object’s centre is specified in three dimensions using a vector.
Of course there are only 3 lines of actual code. I have added the comments for two reason,
to tell you what the code does,
to designate regions of your code, so that as the code grows it will be easier to describe where to act new features.
Now run your program by choosing 'Run program' from the 'Run' menu. When you run the program, two new windows appear. There is a window titled 'VPython,' in which you should see a green sphere and a red rectangle (wall), and another window titled 'Output'.
In the VPython window, hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse. You should see that you are able to zoom into and out of the scene. Now try holding down the right mouse button . You should find that you are able to rotate your view of the scene.
You can stop the program by choosing 'Stop program' from the run menu (or closing the graphics window).
You might want to play with changing the radius of the ball, the colour of the ball etc. Make the changes in the code and run the updated program using run command.
Sphere and box are types of objects that visual python recognises and displays. They have some attributes associated with them (such as position(pos), colour(color) and radius) which can be set when you first define and name the object, otherwise the default values will be used.
You can change the radius attribute of ball after it has been constructed with the statement:
ball.radius=0.4
You can also add any new attributes you want to associate with the object, eg:
ball.velocity=vector(2,.1,0)
To move objects you will need a program loop that repeatedly updates the position. This can be done with a while loop that repeats the indented lines of code following the while statement, as long as the while condition remains true.
Add the following assignments and while loop to the bottom of your program. The setting of the ball velocity should be part of the 'Create Ball(s)' part of the code. The ball should be able to move according to the velocity specified.
ball.velocity=vector(2,.1,0)
##########################################
# Time loop for moving Ball(s)
###########################################
timestep=0.05
while (1==1):
# Set number of times loop is repeated per second
rate(100)
# Move ball(s)
ball.pos=ball.pos + ball.velocity*timestep
The symbol =
is used for assignment, to set a new value for a variable. In Python ==
stands for 'is equal to' so the statement 1==1
always has a value of true, and code inside the while loop will repeat forever. Loops are a little strange in Python. Most other languages use some code for the end of a loop, say a bracket or endwhile. Not in Python, the indentation defines the extent of the loop. So you are forced into writing indented code. Other control commands like for
and if
also work using indentation.
In the above example the value of ball.pos + ball.velocity*timestep
is calculated and then assigned as the new value for ball.pos. Python knows how to add vectors and how to multiply them by a scalar so you don’t have to specify this element by element.
The rate statement specifies the number of times the loop will be executed per second. It allows you to control the animation speed so that the ball doesn't move too fast on fast computers.
Run your program by choosing 'Run program' from the 'Run' menu. You should observe that the ball moves to the right. You can change how fast either by changing the rate or the timestep.
Note that VPython tries to scale the view so that all the objects can be seen. So as the ball moves to the right, the camera has to pan back. This makes the wall look like it is moving backwards.
The ball goes straight through the wall. To make the ball bounce off the wall, we need to detect a collision between the ball and the wall. A simple approach is to compare the x coordinate of the ball to the x coordinate of the wall, and reverse the x component of the ball’s velocity if the ball has moved too far to the right. The components of vectors are attributes which can be referred to individually as .x, .y and .z. The logical test we would use to detect a collision and reverse the velocity might look like:
#check for collisions with the wall(s)
#right wall
if ball.x > wallR.x:
ball.velocity.x = -ball.velocity.x
The indented line after the if statement will be executed only if the logical test in the previous line gives 'true' for the comparison. If the result of the logical test is false (that is, if the x coordinate of the ball is not greater than the x coordinate of the wall), the indented line will be skipped. Since we want this logical test to be performed every time the ball is moved, we need put these lines in the while loop. We add these lines to the end of the code and indent them both so they become part of the while loop. Your program should now look like this:
#########################################
# Import the visual library
#########################################
from visual import *
##########################################
# Create Wall(s)
##########################################
wallR = box(pos=vector(6,0,0), length=0.2, height=4, width=4, color=color.red)
##########################################
# Create Ball(s)
##########################################
ball = sphere(pos=vector(-5,0,0), radius=1.0, color=color.green)
ball.velocity=vector(2,.1,0)
##########################################
# Time loop for moving Ball(s)
###########################################
timestep=0.05
while (1==1):
# Set number of times loop is repeated per second
rate(100)
# Move ball(s)
ball.pos=ball.pos + ball.velocity*timestep
#check for collisions with the wall(s)
#right wall
if ball.x > wallR.x:
ball.velocity.x = -ball.velocity.x
Run your program. You should observe that the ball moves to the right, bounces off the wall, and then moves to the left, continuing off into space. Note that our test is not very sophisticated. ball.x
is at the centre of the ball and wallR.x
is at the centre of the wall so the ball penetrates the wall before it bounces.
Adjust the collision test so that the ball bounces when the edge of the ball reaches the edge of the wall (ie when ball.x > wallR.x-wallR.size.x/2- ball.radius
). Replace the test in the if statement with this new statement.
For a more realistic bounce you should reflect the position of the ball as well as its velocity.
You can add another wall at the left side of the display, and make the ball bounce off that wall also.
We have hard coded in a number of parameters such as the radius of the ball, the thickness and position of the walls. It is often better to define variables to hold the value of these types of parameters. In the following I have set a number of parameters early in the code and then used them throughout.
With these new variables, side
, thk
, ball_radius
, maxpos
, maxv
, your program should now look something like the following:
#########################################
# Import the library(s)
#########################################
from visual import *
##########################################
# Create Wall(s)
##########################################
side=4.0
thk=0.3
wallR = box (pos=vector( side, 0, 0), length=thk,
height=2*side, width=2*side, color = color.red)
wallL = box (pos=vector(-side, 0, 0), length=thk,
height=2*side, width=2*side, color = color.red)
##########################################
# Create Ball(s)
##########################################
ball_radius=1.0
maxpos=side-thk/2-ball_radius
maxv=2.0
ball = sphere(color = color.green, radius = ball_radius)
ball.velocity = vector(2,.1,0)
##########################################
# Time loop for moving Ball(s)
###########################################
timestep = 0.05
while (1==1):
# Set number of times loop is repeated per second
rate(100)
# Move ball(s)
ball.pos = ball.pos + ball.velocity*timestep
#check for collisions with the walls
#right wall
if ball.pos.x > maxpos:
ball.velocity.x = -ball.velocity.x #reflect velocity
ball.pos.x=2*maxpos-ball.pos.x #reflect position
#left wall
if ball.pos.x < -maxpos:
ball.velocity.x = -ball.velocity.x
ball.pos.x=-2*maxpos-ball.pos.x
This program makes a ball bounce backward and forward between two parallel walls. Notice that the ball has a little upward (y) velocity (the z direction is out of the screen). The ball continues to bounce even when it has passed the top of the walls.
You should add extra walls now so that the ball bounces inside a box. You also need to extend the walls so they touch so that the simulation looks nice. You will want to have an invisible front wall so that you can see inside. Play around with different starting positions and velocities for the ball, and sizes for the ball and box.
If you have had trouble, or have run out of time, here is the code for the bouncing ball in a box
Using this bouncing ball program as a base, it is possible to create a simulation of a gas. Have a look at our gas simulation tutorial

Ok ...so how to get picture on how those service providers are doing ..what are their growth numbers ...and how we can bring more service providers ... I believe those service providers are helping businesses...so what sort of businesses are coming to them...are they able to fullfill businesses needs ..how information flows between service providers and main project..as they are on front and approaching businesses and getting usecases ...is there any need to get more service onboard.....
How komodo as platform add functionality ...is that based on clients feedbacks ...and other than asset chain what other areas we need to focus which can help komodo platform adoption
Who is responsible for komodo as product for businesses? How that works ...who talks to businesses and work with them?
Yes..got the list..can you also help with other questions
The team page is looking amazing
jl777 is doing a terrible job of abandoning his projects!

@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 I found this thing called LABS
polycryptoblog10-Apr-19 10:12 PM
For service provider numbers , you would have to ask the service provider in question. Mainly new coin and DPoW inquires, but some whitelabel requests as well. Most needs can be fulfilled , more intensive projects are on the sideline until we get our own things out there. Information flows between the required parties with as little hops along the way. Always need more service providers on board , currently documentation is being written to aid people in that. Functionality added typically upon request or whatever the devs feel they want to implement . Areas we need to focus on are dumbing down our language as much as possible, creating free blockchain based applications. Coordinate simple marketing efforts with the community
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:16 PM
I will create a doc ..full of questions and share . Then we can discuss on that ...those will be basic questions yet Important
polycryptoblog10-Apr-19 10:17 PM
Sure , I’ll answer them
PTYX10-Apr-19 10:22 PM
What sort of information are you looking for in regards to providers?
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:23 PM
@coinmonks || CoinCodeCap Steve lee might be one to talk to, but maybe there is a language barrier here?
KMD doesn't have providers, It's decentralized like ETH.
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:25 PM
Yes...will talk to Steve more about it ...
As per my understanding ..tech needs to produtify to solve real business problems..
So basic questions
What problem komodo platform solve for businesses which can help it's token value...
What is our niche ...
Who is potential customer/user
What are very obvious usecases..
How using komodo impact businesses/users,(edited)
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:27 PM
Lets compare KMD to ETH... to find Comparables.
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:27 PM
Cool
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:27 PM
The two largest probelms on ETH, Gas fees and scaling.
Komodo solves both, immediately.
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:27 PM
Wait
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:28 PM
No chain or dev has to struggle with gas fees and scalability is literally unlimitied with the side chain architecture.
So assuming businesses or anyone wantrs to use ETH, they can receive a stronger, safer, more secure ecosystem with KMD.
Bill P10-Apr-19 10:29 PM
thought you were selling vbk fishyguts.. never answered me on buying it
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:30 PM
Ethereum is a smart contract platform so web3 businesses are it's biggest user to drive adoption by building innovative solutions...
Is Komodo want to be a smart contract platform?
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:31 PM
@Bill P - Not me. I didn't buy VBK.
Bill P10-Apr-19 10:32 PM
ok sorry

Discord login is confusing...I end up sign-up.multiple.times
FishyGuts10-Apr-19 10:32 PM
@coinmonks || CoinCodeCap - Smart contracts on KMD are UTXO based and more versatile, and supposedly easier to program than ETH based smart contracts.
I'll come back ..have to go.now

Do you document when you talk to any potential customer?
I wanna have a look on it
siu - Chainmakers10-Apr-19 10:44 PM
The big difference that kmd offers is the capability of creating your own blockchain infrastructure that you manage yourself.
Document? Other than chat logs, and inquiries or quotes. Not much more.
Also if i have documents on the specifics of every client, i wont share them.(edited)
coinmonks || CoinCodeCap10-Apr-19 10:46 PM

siu - Chainmakers10-Apr-19 10:47 PM
That is all about networking and knowing who is who in the community mostly. Experience you only acquire with being present.
There are not strict structures in komodo ecosystem.
Everyone helps each other whenever possible
And the human resource in this community is way above in capability than many other communities.

This article was originally posted on my blog.
You should also read my Java 11 Tutorial (including new language and API features from Java 9, 10 and 11).
Welcome to my introduction to Java 8. This tutorial guides you step by step through all new language features. Backed by short and simple code samples you'll learn how to use default interface methods, lambda expressions, method references and repeatable annotations. At the end of the article you'll be familiar with the most recent API changes like streams, functional interfaces, map extensions and the new Date API. No walls of text, just a bunch of commented code snippets. Enjoy!

Java 8 enables us to add non-abstract method implementations to interfaces by utilizing the default
keyword. This feature is also known as virtual extension methods.
Here is our first example:
interface Formula {
double calculate(int a);
default double sqrt(int a) {
return Math.sqrt(a);
}
}
Besides the abstract method calculate
the interface Formula
also defines the default method sqrt
. Concrete classes only have to implement the abstract method calculate
. The default method sqrt
can be used out of the box.
Formula formula = new Formula() {
@Override
public double calculate(int a) {
return sqrt(a * 100);
}
};
formula.calculate(100); // 100.0
formula.sqrt(16); // 4.0
The formula is implemented as an anonymous object. The code is quite verbose: 6 lines of code for such a simple calculation of sqrt(a * 100)
. As we'll see in the next section, there's a much nicer way of implementing single method objects in Java 8.
Let's start with a simple example of how to sort a list of strings in prior versions of Java:
List<String> names = Arrays.asList("peter", "anna", "mike", "xenia");
Collections.sort(names, new Comparator<String>() {
@Override
public int compare(String a, String b) {
return b.compareTo(a);
}
});
The static utility method Collections.sort
accepts a list and a comparator in order to sort the elements of the given list. You often find yourself creating anonymous comparators and pass them to the sort method.
Instead of creating anonymous objects all day long, Java 8 comes with a much shorter syntax, lambda expressions:
Collections.sort(names, (String a, String b) -> {
return b.compareTo(a);
});
As you can see the code is much shorter and easier to read. But it gets even shorter:
Collections.sort(names, (String a, String b) -> b.compareTo(a));
For one line method bodies you can skip both the braces {}
and the return
keyword. But it gets even shorter:
names.sort((a, b) -> b.compareTo(a));
List now has a sort
method. Also the java compiler is aware of the parameter types so you can skip them as well. Let's dive deeper into how lambda expressions can be used in the wild.
How does lambda expressions fit into Java's type system? Each lambda corresponds to a given type, specified by an interface. A so called functional interface must contain exactly one abstract method declaration. Each lambda expression of that type will be matched to this abstract method. Since default methods are not abstract you're free to add default methods to your functional interface.
We can use arbitrary interfaces as lambda expressions as long as the interface only contains one abstract method. To ensure that your interface meet the requirements, you should add the @FunctionalInterface
annotation. The compiler is aware of this annotation and throws a compiler error as soon as you try to add a second abstract method declaration to the interface.
Example:
@FunctionalInterface
interface Converter<F, T> {
T convert(F from);
}
Converter<String, Integer> converter = (from) -> Integer.valueOf(from);
Integer converted = converter.convert("123");
System.out.println(converted); // 123
Keep in mind that the code is also valid if the @FunctionalInterface
annotation would be omitted.
The above example code can be further simplified by utilizing static method references:
Converter<String, Integer> converter = Integer::valueOf;
Integer converted = converter.convert("123");
System.out.println(converted); // 123
Java 8 enables you to pass references of methods or constructors via the ::
keyword. The above example shows how to reference a static method. But we can also reference object methods:
class Something {
String startsWith(String s) {
return String.valueOf(s.charAt(0));
}
}
Something something = new Something();
Converter<String, String> converter = something::startsWith;
String converted = converter.convert("Java");
System.out.println(converted); // "J"
Let's see how the ::
keyword works for constructors. First we define an example class with different constructors:
class Person {
String firstName;
String lastName;
Person() {}
Person(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
Next we specify a person factory interface to be used for creating new persons:
interface PersonFactory<P extends Person> {
P create(String firstName, String lastName);
}
Instead of implementing the factory manually, we glue everything together via constructor references:
PersonFactory<Person> personFactory = Person::new;
Person person = personFactory.create("Peter", "Parker");
We create a reference to the Person constructor via Person::new
. The Java compiler automatically chooses the right constructor by matching the signature of PersonFactory.create
.
Accessing outer scope variables from lambda expressions is very similar to anonymous objects. You can access final variables from the local outer scope as well as instance fields and static variables.
We can read final local variables from the outer scope of lambda expressions:
final int num = 1;
Converter<Integer, String> stringConverter =
(from) -> String.valueOf(from + num);
stringConverter.convert(2); // 3
But different to anonymous objects the variable num
does not have to be declared final. This code is also valid:
int num = 1;
Converter<Integer, String> stringConverter =
(from) -> String.valueOf(from + num);
stringConverter.convert(2); // 3
However num
must be implicitly final for the code to compile. The following code does not compile:
int num = 1;
Converter<Integer, String> stringConverter =
(from) -> String.valueOf(from + num);
num = 3;
Writing to num
from within the lambda expression is also prohibited.
In contrast to local variables, we have both read and write access to instance fields and static variables from within lambda expressions. This behaviour is well known from anonymous objects.
class Lambda4 {
static int outerStaticNum;
int outerNum;
void testScopes() {
Converter<Integer, String> stringConverter1 = (from) -> {
outerNum = 23;
return String.valueOf(from);
};
Converter<Integer, String> stringConverter2 = (from) -> {
outerStaticNum = 72;
return String.valueOf(from);
};
}
}
Remember the formula example from the first section? Interface Formula
defines a default method sqrt
which can be accessed from each formula instance including anonymous objects. This does not work with lambda expressions.
Default methods cannot be accessed from within lambda expressions. The following code does not compile:
Formula formula = (a) -> sqrt(a * 100);
The JDK 1.8 API contains many built-in functional interfaces. Some of them are well known from older versions of Java like Comparator
or Runnable
. Those existing interfaces are extended to enable Lambda support via the @FunctionalInterface
annotation.
But the Java 8 API is also full of new functional interfaces to make your life easier. Some of those new interfaces are well known from the Google Guava library. Even if you're familiar with this library you should keep a close eye on how those interfaces are extended by some useful method extensions.
Predicates are boolean-valued functions of one argument. The interface contains various default methods for composing predicates to complex logical terms (and, or, negate)
Predicate<String> predicate = (s) -> s.length() > 0;
predicate.test("foo"); // true
predicate.negate().test("foo"); // false
Predicate<Boolean> nonNull = Objects::nonNull;
Predicate<Boolean> isNull = Objects::isNull;
Predicate<String> isEmpty = String::isEmpty;
Predicate<String> isNotEmpty = isEmpty.negate();
Functions accept one argument and produce a result. Default methods can be used to chain multiple functions together (compose, andThen).
Function<String, Integer> toInteger = Integer::valueOf;
Function<String, String> backToString = toInteger.andThen(String::valueOf);
backToString.apply("123"); // "123"
Suppliers produce a result of a given generic type. Unlike Functions, Suppliers don't accept arguments.
Supplier<Person> personSupplier = Person::new;
personSupplier.get(); // new Person
Consumers represent operations to be performed on a single input argument.
Consumer<Person> greeter = (p) -> System.out.println("Hello, " + p.firstName);
greeter.accept(new Person("Luke", "Skywalker"));
Comparators are well known from older versions of Java. Java 8 adds various default methods to the interface.
Comparator<Person> comparator = (p1, p2) -> p1.firstName.compareTo(p2.firstName);
Person p1 = new Person("John", "Doe");
Person p2 = new Person("Alice", "Wonderland");
comparator.compare(p1, p2); // > 0
comparator.reversed().compare(p1, p2); // < 0
Optionals are not functional interfaces, but nifty utilities to prevent NullPointerException
. It's an important concept for the next section, so let's have a quick look at how Optionals work.
Optional is a simple container for a value which may be null or non-null. Think of a method which may return a non-null result but sometimes return nothing. Instead of returning null
you return an Optional
in Java 8.
Optional<String> optional = Optional.of("bam");
optional.isPresent(); // true
optional.get(); // "bam"
optional.orElse("fallback"); // "bam"
optional.ifPresent((s) -> System.out.println(s.charAt(0))); // "b"
A java.util.Stream
represents a sequence of elements on which one or more operations can be performed. Stream operations are either intermediate or terminal. While terminal operations return a result of a certain type, intermediate operations return the stream itself so you can chain multiple method calls in a row. Streams are created on a source, e.g. a java.util.Collection
like lists or sets (maps are not supported). Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallely.
Streams are extremely powerful, so I wrote a separate Java 8 Streams Tutorial. You should also check out Sequency as a similiar library for the web.
Let's first look how sequential streams work. First we create a sample source in form of a list of strings:
List<String> stringCollection = new ArrayList<>();
stringCollection.add("ddd2");
stringCollection.add("aaa2");
stringCollection.add("bbb1");
stringCollection.add("aaa1");
stringCollection.add("bbb3");
stringCollection.add("ccc");
stringCollection.add("bbb2");
stringCollection.add("ddd1");
Collections in Java 8 are extended so you can simply create streams either by calling Collection.stream()
or Collection.parallelStream()
. The following sections explain the most common stream operations.
Filter accepts a predicate to filter all elements of the stream. This operation is intermediate which enables us to call another stream operation (forEach
) on the result. ForEach accepts a consumer to be executed for each element in the filtered stream. ForEach is a terminal operation. It's void
, so we cannot call another stream operation.
stringCollection
.stream()
.filter((s) -> s.startsWith("a"))
.forEach(System.out::println);
// "aaa2", "aaa1"
Sorted is an intermediate operation which returns a sorted view of the stream. The elements are sorted in natural order unless you pass a custom Comparator
.
stringCollection
.stream()
.sorted()
.filter((s) -> s.startsWith("a"))
.forEach(System.out::println);
// "aaa1", "aaa2"
Keep in mind that sorted
does only create a sorted view of the stream without manipulating the ordering of the backed collection. The ordering of stringCollection
is untouched:
System.out.println(stringCollection);
// ddd2, aaa2, bbb1, aaa1, bbb3, ccc, bbb2, ddd1
The intermediate operation map
converts each element into another object via the given function. The following example converts each string into an upper-cased string. But you can also use map
to transform each object into another type. The generic type of the resulting stream depends on the generic type of the function you pass to map
.
stringCollection
.stream()
.map(String::toUpperCase)
.sorted((a, b) -> b.compareTo(a))
.forEach(System.out::println);
// "DDD2", "DDD1", "CCC", "BBB3", "BBB2", "AAA2", "AAA1"
Various matching operations can be used to check whether a certain predicate matches the stream. All of those operations are terminal and return a boolean result.
boolean anyStartsWithA =
stringCollection
.stream()
.anyMatch((s) -> s.startsWith("a"));
System.out.println(anyStartsWithA); // true
boolean allStartsWithA =
stringCollection
.stream()
.allMatch((s) -> s.startsWith("a"));
System.out.println(allStartsWithA); // false
boolean noneStartsWithZ =
stringCollection
.stream()
.noneMatch((s) -> s.startsWith("z"));
System.out.println(noneStartsWithZ); // true
Count is a terminal operation returning the number of elements in the stream as a long
.
long startsWithB =
stringCollection
.stream()
.filter((s) -> s.startsWith("b"))
.count();
System.out.println(startsWithB); // 3
This terminal operation performs a reduction on the elements of the stream with the given function. The result is an Optional
holding the reduced value.
Optional<String> reduced =
stringCollection
.stream()
.sorted()
.reduce((s1, s2) -> s1 + "#" + s2);
reduced.ifPresent(System.out::println);
// "aaa1#aaa2#bbb1#bbb2#bbb3#ccc#ddd1#ddd2"
As mentioned above streams can be either sequential or parallel. Operations on sequential streams are performed on a single thread while operations on parallel streams are performed concurrently on multiple threads.
The following example demonstrates how easy it is to increase the performance by using parallel streams.
First we create a large list of unique elements:
int max = 1000000;
List<String> values = new ArrayList<>(max);
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
values.add(uuid.toString());
}
Now we measure the time it takes to sort a stream of this collection.
long t0 = System.nanoTime();
long count = values.stream().sorted().count();
System.out.println(count);
long t1 = System.nanoTime();
long millis = TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMillis(t1 - t0);
System.out.println(String.format("sequential sort took: %d ms", millis));
// sequential sort took: 899 ms
long t0 = System.nanoTime();
long count = values.parallelStream().sorted().count();
System.out.println(count);
long t1 = System.nanoTime();
long millis = TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMillis(t1 - t0);
System.out.println(String.format("parallel sort took: %d ms", millis));
// parallel sort took: 472 ms
As you can see both code snippets are almost identical but the parallel sort is roughly 50% faster. All you have to do is change stream()
to parallelStream()
.
As already mentioned maps do not directly support streams. There's no stream()
method available on the Map
interface itself, however you can create specialized streams upon the keys, values or entries of a map via map.keySet().stream()
, map.values().stream()
and map.entrySet().stream()
.
Furthermore maps support various new and useful methods for doing common tasks.
Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
map.putIfAbsent(i, "val" + i);
}
map.forEach((id, val) -> System.out.println(val));
The above code should be self-explaining: putIfAbsent
prevents us from writing additional if null checks; forEach
accepts a consumer to perform operations for each value of the map.
This example shows how to compute code on the map by utilizing functions:
map.computeIfPresent(3, (num, val) -> val + num);
map.get(3); // val33
map.computeIfPresent(9, (num, val) -> null);
map.containsKey(9); // false
map.computeIfAbsent(23, num -> "val" + num);
map.containsKey(23); // true
map.computeIfAbsent(3, num -> "bam");
map.get(3); // val33
Next, we learn how to remove entries for a given key, only if it's currently mapped to a given value:
map.remove(3, "val3");
map.get(3); // val33
map.remove(3, "val33");
map.get(3); // null
Another helpful method:
map.getOrDefault(42, "not found"); // not found
Merging entries of a map is quite easy:
map.merge(9, "val9", (value, newValue) -> value.concat(newValue));
map.get(9); // val9
map.merge(9, "concat", (value, newValue) -> value.concat(newValue));
map.get(9); // val9concat
Merge either put the key/value into the map if no entry for the key exists, or the merging function will be called to change the existing value.
Java 8 contains a brand new date and time API under the package java.time
. The new Date API is comparable with the Joda-Time library, however it's not the same. The following examples cover the most important parts of this new API.
Clock provides access to the current date and time. Clocks are aware of a timezone and may be used instead of System.currentTimeMillis()
to retrieve the current time in milliseconds since Unix EPOCH. Such an instantaneous point on the time-line is also represented by the class Instant
. Instants can be used to create legacy java.util.Date
objects.
Clock clock = Clock.systemDefaultZone();
long millis = clock.millis();
Instant instant = clock.instant();
Date legacyDate = Date.from(instant); // legacy java.util.Date
Timezones are represented by a ZoneId
. They can easily be accessed via static factory methods. Timezones define the offsets which are important to convert between instants and local dates and times.
System.out.println(ZoneId.getAvailableZoneIds());
// prints all available timezone ids
ZoneId zone1 = ZoneId.of("Europe/Berlin");
ZoneId zone2 = ZoneId.of("Brazil/East");
System.out.println(zone1.getRules());
System.out.println(zone2.getRules());
// ZoneRules[currentStandardOffset=+01:00]
// ZoneRules[currentStandardOffset=-03:00]
LocalTime represents a time without a timezone, e.g. 10pm or 17:30:15. The following example creates two local times for the timezones defined above. Then we compare both times and calculate the difference in hours and minutes between both times.
LocalTime now1 = LocalTime.now(zone1);
LocalTime now2 = LocalTime.now(zone2);
System.out.println(now1.isBefore(now2)); // false
long hoursBetween = ChronoUnit.HOURS.between(now1, now2);
long minutesBetween = ChronoUnit.MINUTES.between(now1, now2);
System.out.println(hoursBetween); // -3
System.out.println(minutesBetween); // -239
LocalTime comes with various factory methods to simplify the creation of new instances, including parsing of time strings.
LocalTime late = LocalTime.of(23, 59, 59);
System.out.println(late); // 23:59:59
DateTimeFormatter germanFormatter =
DateTimeFormatter
.ofLocalizedTime(FormatStyle.SHORT)
.withLocale(Locale.GERMAN);
LocalTime leetTime = LocalTime.parse("13:37", germanFormatter);
System.out.println(leetTime); // 13:37
LocalDate represents a distinct date, e.g. 2014-03-11. It's immutable and works exactly analog to LocalTime. The sample demonstrates how to calculate new dates by adding or subtracting days, months or years. Keep in mind that each manipulation returns a new instance.
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
LocalDate tomorrow = today.plus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
LocalDate yesterday = tomorrow.minusDays(2);
LocalDate independenceDay = LocalDate.of(2014, Month.JULY, 4);
DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = independenceDay.getDayOfWeek();
System.out.println(dayOfWeek); // FRIDAY
Parsing a LocalDate from a string is just as simple as parsing a LocalTime:
DateTimeFormatter germanFormatter =
DateTimeFormatter
.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.MEDIUM)
.withLocale(Locale.GERMAN);
LocalDate xmas = LocalDate.parse("24.12.2014", germanFormatter);
System.out.println(xmas); // 2014-12-24
LocalDateTime represents a date-time. It combines date and time as seen in the above sections into one instance. LocalDateTime
is immutable and works similar to LocalTime and LocalDate. We can utilize methods for retrieving certain fields from a date-time:
LocalDateTime sylvester = LocalDateTime.of(2014, Month.DECEMBER, 31, 23, 59, 59);
DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = sylvester.getDayOfWeek();
System.out.println(dayOfWeek); // WEDNESDAY
Month month = sylvester.getMonth();
System.out.println(month); // DECEMBER
long minuteOfDay = sylvester.getLong(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_DAY);
System.out.println(minuteOfDay); // 1439
With the additional information of a timezone it can be converted to an instant. Instants can easily be converted to legacy dates of type java.util.Date
.
Instant instant = sylvester
.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())
.toInstant();
Date legacyDate = Date.from(instant);
System.out.println(legacyDate); // Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 CET 2014
Formatting date-times works just like formatting dates or times. Instead of using pre-defined formats we can create formatters from custom patterns.
DateTimeFormatter formatter =
DateTimeFormatter
.ofPattern("MMM dd, yyyy - HH:mm");
LocalDateTime parsed = LocalDateTime.parse("Nov 03, 2014 - 07:13", formatter);
String string = formatter.format(parsed);
System.out.println(string); // Nov 03, 2014 - 07:13
Unlike java.text.NumberFormat
the new DateTimeFormatter
is immutable and thread-safe.

Annotations in Java 8 are repeatable. Let's dive directly into an example to figure that out.
First, we define a wrapper annotation which holds an array of the actual annotations:
@interface Hints {
Hint[] value();
}
@Repeatable(Hints.class)
@interface Hint {
String value();
}
Java 8 enables us to use multiple annotations of the same type by declaring the annotation @Repeatable
.
@Hints({@Hint("hint1"), @Hint("hint2")})
class Person {}
@Hint("hint1")
@Hint("hint2")
class Person {}
Using variant 2 the java compiler implicitly sets up the @Hints
annotation under the hood. That's important for reading annotation information via reflection.
Hint hint = Person.class.getAnnotation(Hint.class);
System.out.println(hint); // null
Hints hints1 = Person.class.getAnnotation(Hints.class);
System.out.println(hints1.value().length); // 2
Hint[] hints2 = Person.class.getAnnotationsByType(Hint.class);
System.out.println(hints2.length); // 2
Although we never declared the @Hints
annotation on the Person
class, it's still readable via getAnnotation(Hints.class)
. However, the more convenient method is getAnnotationsByType
which grants direct access to all annotated @Hint
annotations.
Furthermore the usage of annotations in Java 8 is expanded to two new targets:
@Target({ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER, ElementType.TYPE_USE})
@interface MyAnnotation {}
