DITranquillity
Tranquillity is a lightweight but powerful dependency injection library for swift.
The name “Tranquillity” laid the foundation in the basic principles of library: clarity, simplicity and security.
It says - use the library and you will be calm for your dependencies.
About Dependendy Injection
Dependency Injections is a software design pattern in which someone delivers dependencies to an object.
Is one form of the broader technique of Inversion Of Control and help the Dependency Inversion Principle
For more details you can read this link
Also I recommend you to read Glossary which will help to better understand the terms.

Installing
The library supports three popular package managers: Cocoapods, Carthage, SwiftPM.
CocoaPods
Add the following lines to your Podfile
:
pod 'DITranquillity'
SwiftPM
You can use “Xcode/File/Swift Packages/Add Package Dependency…” and write github url:
https://github.com/ivlevAstef/DITranquillity
Also you can edit your Package.swift
and the following line into section dependencies
:
.package(url: "https://github.com/ivlevAstef/DITranquillity.git", from: "3.8.4")
And don’t forget to specify in your section target
wrote dependency line:
.product(name: "DITranquillity")
Attention! - SwiftPM unsupport features from the “UI” section.
Carthage
Add the following lines to your Cartfile
:
github "ivlevAstef/DITranquillity"
Carthage support “UI” and “GraphAPI” section no additional actions.
Usage
The library uses a declarative style of dependency description, and allows you to separate your application code from dependency description code.
For a quick entry, let’s look at an example code of one simplified VIPER screen:
.................................................
/// Dependency description
let container = DIContainer()
container.register(LoginRouter.init)
container.register(LoginPresenterImpl.init)
.as(LoginPresenter.self)
.lifetime(.objectGraph)
container.register(LoginViewController.init)
.injection(cycle: true, \.presenter)
.as(LoginView.self)
.lifetime(.objectGraph)
container.register(AuthInteractorImpl.init)
.as(AuthInteractor.self)
.................................................
/// Application start point
let router: LoginRouter = container.resolve()
window.rootViewController = router.rootViewController
router.start()
.................................................
/// Application Code
import SwiftLazy
class LoginRouter {
let rootViewController = UINavigationController()
private let loginPresenterProvider: Provider<LoginPresenter>
init(loginPresenterProvider: Provider<LoginPresenter>) {
loginPresenterProvider = loginPresenterProvider
}
func start() {
let presenter = loginPresenterProvider.value
presenter.loginSuccessCallback = { [weak self] _ in
...
}
// Your can write code without force cast, it's code simple example
rootViewController.push(presenter.view as! UIViewController)
}
}
protocol LoginPresenter: class {
var loginSuccessCallback: ((_ userId: String) -> Void)?
func login(name: String, password: String)
}
protocol LoginView: class {
func showError(text: String)
}
class LoginPresenterImpl: LoginPresenter {
private weak var view: LoginView?
private let authInteractor: AuthInteractor
init(view: LoginView, authInteractor: AuthInteractor) {
self.view = view
self.authInteractor = authInteractor
}
func login(name: String, password: String) {
if name.isEmpty || password.isEmpty {
view?.showError(text: "fill input")
return
}
authInteractor.login(name: name, password: password, completion: { [weak self] result in
switch result {
case .failure(let error):
self?.view?.showError(text: "\(error)")
case .success(let userId):
self?.loginSuccessCallback?(userId)
}
})
}
}
class LoginViewController: UIViewController, LoginView {
var presenter: LoginPresenter!
...
func showError(text: String) {
showAlert(title: "Error", message: text)
}
private func tapOnLoginButton() {
presenter.login(name: nameTextField.text ?? "", password: passwordTextField.text ?? "")
}
}
protocol AuthInteractor: class {
func login(name: String, password: String, completion: (Result<String, Error>) -> Void)
}
class AuthInteractorImpl: AuthInteractor {
func login(name: String, password: String, completion: (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) {
...
}
}
As you can see, the dependency description code takes a small part, and the application code doen’t know about how dependencies are implemented.

University High school
I attend University High school in Tolleson. Here we are ranked 21st in the country for best high schools, so I take and have taken a majority of AP and advanced classes throughout my highschool career. My favorite classes would be AP Physics and AP Calculus, because there is nothing like the satisfaction of completing a really difficult problem -the same goes for West-Mec Coding as well. |
|
West-Mec Coding
I also attend West-Mec Coding where I learned to code this very page. I come here after school to learn how to code in HTML, CSS, and Javascript languages. I attend coding every day after my regular high school and it helps me aquire skills in something outside of my core classes. If you care to know any more about that click the image on the left. |
|
ASU -Interest
I hope to attend Arizona State University, because I want to attend an in-state college that is somewhat affordable. Although I could possibly get a job in coding as soon as this program is over, I hope to expand in education and earn a diploma in either computer science or Aerospace Engineering because I enjoy math and computers. |

About
My name is Joschka Hüllmann and I am currently working as an assistant professor for the department of High-tech Business and Entrepreneurship (HBE) at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. I am also affiliated with the ERCIS competence center Smarter Work at the Westfälische Wilhelms-University Münster.
Expertise.
My expertise focuses on the future of work and covers multiple topics at the intersection of people, organizations, and technologies.
- Future of Work
- People Analytics
- Virtual, Distributed Work
- AI & Algorithmic Management
- Domains & Industries
- Human Resources
- Information Technology
- Manufacturing and Farming
Technological advances change how work is organised and lived, leading to new ways of working. Shaping this digital transformation of work is crucial to ensure the well-being and productivity of all those involved. A recent phenomenon is artificial intelligence (AI) at work, where algorithms support, augment, or automate organisational decision-making. I examine this phenomenon and pioneer applications in the domains of human resources (“People Analytics”), information technology services, and industrial settings such as manufacturing and farming.
Further information about selected projects can be found on dedicated subpages.
Methods
I continuously advance my methodological skills, relying on mixed-methods research designs. I employ qualitative approaches to theory building, using case study designs, interviews, or netnographies. I am triangulating and corroborating these qualitative results with surveys and computational methods, particularly the collection and analysis of digital trace data (application logs, behavioural data and logs, computational social science). Combining qualitative approaches with advanced computational methods provides novel avenues for generating insights about organizational phenomena at the intersection of technology and work.
Besides my academic skills, I have an established software development and programming background. In professional practice, I worked as an application developer in various positions. I was responsible for managing the design and implementation of projects in critical infrastructure domains such as energy and public transport.
I share my experience either by writing and publishing articles, or by speaking at conferences and other events. I always try to bridge the gap between academia and practice.

Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
A Film Review Essay by Mark O'Hara
Visit Online Film Critics Society at http://www.ofcs.org
Martin Scorcese has never been one to avoid seamy subjects. Like many of his other films, "Bringing Out the Dead" depicts some of the clearest glances we have seen of the grit and grief of life. It's also very artfully made, replete with gutsy risks you wouldn't think would come from a veteran filmmaker.
Nicolas Cage plays New York City - Hell's Kitchen, specifically - paramedic Frank Pierce, a man in the advanced stages of burnout. He doesn't eat much of anything, he drinks during his shifts, he tries half-heartedly to get fired. But something gets him out on the dark streets again.
What gives the film its most recognizable structure are the three different partners Pierce rides with on three consecutive days. Each of these coworkers deals with the job in eccentric ways; it's Pierce that seems to be failing to cope successfully. Dark flesh encircles his eyes, which stare out the windows of the ambulance like one witnessing an apocalypse. It's clear the setting - early 1990's New York - has affected him for the worse, as many of the faces roaming the streets take on the aspect of a spectre, a girl who died during Frank's watch. Because he can't get her off his mind, he shows signs of beginning to lose it.
Another unifying aspect is the man revived by Frank and his partner Larry (John Goodman). Mr. Burke had been dead for several moments, but when Frank sees the grief caused by the loss, he appears to redouble his efforts. The result, Burke is taken to Our Lady of Perpetual Mercy, the hospital where bedlam reigns, and kept aggressively on life support. After Frank spends some time with Burke's daughter Mary (Cage's wife Patricia Arquette), he shows sign of an infatuation with her. Attracted by her vulnerability - she's a recovering addict - Frank supports her by being there to listen. Will she be a focal point to cure his blurry lifestyle? Or will the high rates of speed at which Frank travels finally cause an accident?
Martin Scorcese's vision of New York is one of the most fascinating takes in recent years. We see it mostly during the night, the camera going in constricting gyres, the traffic as well as the skyline quickening in time elapse. We witness many of the same sordid scenes we saw Travis Bickle coursing through in "Taxi Driver," steam rising from manholes, hookers and other social desperadoes peopling the periphery. In a small but powerful moment, Larry parks the rig on a pier and catches forty winks, while the insomniac Frank stares from his haunted eyes. Shadows of raindrops on the ambulance windows stain Frank's face like drops of ink, or worse, blood.
It's Scorcese's voice we hear as one of the dispatchers, his words crisp and witty; the other dispatcher is Queen Latifah, a cleverly done piece of voice acting done during radio intercourse with Frank's second partner Marcus (Ving Rhames).
Acting in the film is outstanding. Cage has perfected a type of spiritual malaise, his voice as monotonous as his expression. What's amazing is that he pulls it off and keeps our interest. After all Frank Pierce experiences in these fateful three days, we are still sympathetic toward his character.
Patricia Arquette is expertly made up to look like a waif with dyed hair, often unkempt and always delicate. She delivers her lines perhaps more naturally than any other actor in the piece. We believe her when she talks of her love for her estranged and dying father, and we feel sorry for her when she lapses into bad habits.
Ving Rhames as Marcus plays a strange hybrid, a mix of evangelical preacher and honey-talking ladies' man, someone out a story by Flannery O'Connor. Rhames switches moods as fast as the camera switches scenes, and we are spellbound by both. In one crackhouse scene we see a sequence full of tawdriness and redemption, as Rhames takes full advantage of his director's predilection for religious imagery. Look for Irving Rhames as a nominee for Supporting Actor.
John Goodman is also solid as support, his Larry a jaded jerk who worries only about his next meal. He's looking forward to applying for captain, so he can stay in the business but avoid going out on actual runs. Goodman convinces us without much seeming effort - and this is good because this man has a tendency to carry his parts over-the-top. Tom Sizemore deserves a mention as Tom Walls, an unscrupulous paramedic who is not above assaulting his clients. What a remarkable and amoral man he sketches here! Finally, singer Marc Anthony portrays Noel, a repeat visitor to the hellish hospital, a friend of Mary Burke's who manages to bring out the best and worst in Frank.
Martin Scorcese has set himself up as a chronicler of New York, from the days of stuffy conventions ("The Age of Innocence") to the graphic unpleasantness of "Dead." The man deserves a lot of credit for remaining fresh and unconventional in his techniques.
The film is only slightly less dark than Cage's Oscar-winning vehicle "Leaving Las Vegas." At 118 minutes, it seems just a bit too long, though that results from the loosenesss of plot. It's a must-see for serious film fans, especially ones interested in a most American director.

Of course, getting everyone in the world to switch to a vegan diet would be very challenging. Individual actions to reduce emissions, like changing diet, buying more fuel-efficient vehicles, and switching to LED light bulbs do have an effect on overall emissions, but that effect is small. Effective climate change mitigation requires that these changes be made on a much larger scale.

Faark it’s hot, but it’s always been hot in summer right…
Everyone remembers burning bitumen under foot, restless hot nights, the mad dash to the beach across burning sand.
When you were young the temperature was not that hot.


 You are given an array of length $n$, indexed from $0$ to $n-1$. Each element of the array is either $0$ or $1$. You can only move to an index which contains $0$. At first you are at the $0^{th}$ position. In each move you can do one of the following things:
That means you can move from position $x$ to $x+1$, $x-1$ or $x+m$ in one move. The new position must contain 0. Also you can move to any position greater than n-1.
You can't move backward from position $0$. If you move to any position greater than $n-1$, you win the game.
Given the array and the length of the jump, you need to determine if it's possible to win the game or not.
Input Format
In the first line there will be an integer $T$ denoting the number of test cases. Each test case will consist of two lines. The first line will contain two integers, $n$ and $m$. On the second line there will be $n$ space-separated integers, each of which is either $0$ or $1$.
Constraints:
$1<=T<=5000$
$2 \le n \le 100$
$0 \le m \le 100$
The first integer of the array is always $0$.
Output Format
For each case output "YES" if it's possible to win the game, output "NO" otherwise.
Sample Input
4
5 3
0 0 0 0 0
6 5
0 0 0 1 1 1
6 3
0 0 1 1 1 0
3 1
0 1 0
Sample Output
YES
YES
NO
NO
Explanation
In the first case you can just walk to reach the end of the array.
In the second case, you can walk to index 1 or 2 and jump from there.
In the third case, jump length is too low, you can't reach the end of the array.
In the fourth case, jump length is 1, so it doesn't matter if you jump or walk, you can't reach the end.

Recipe 3.15. Checking a Credit Card ChecksumCredit: David Shaw, Miika Keskinen ProblemYou need to check whether a credit card number respects the industry standard Luhn checksum algorithm. SolutionLuhn mod 10 is the credit card industry's standard for credit card checksums. It's not built into Python, but it's easy to roll our own computation for it: def cardLuhnChecksumIsValid(card_number): """ checks to make sure that the card passes a luhn mod-10 checksum """ sum = 0 num_digits = len(card_number) oddeven = num_digits & 1 for count in range(num_digits): digit = int(card_number[count]) if not (( count & 1 ) ^ oddeven): digit = digit * 2 if digit > 9: digit = digit - 9 sum = sum + digit return (sum % 10) == 0 DiscussionThis recipe was originally written for a now-defunct e-commerce application to be used within Zope. It can save you time and money to apply this simple validation before trying to process a bad or miskeyed card with your credit card vendor, because you won't waste money trying to authorize a bad card number. The recipe has wider applicability because many government identification numbers also use the Luhn (i.e., modulus 10) algorithm. A full suite of credit card validation methods is available at http://david.theresistance.net/files/creditValidation.py If you're into cool one-liners rather than simplicity and clarity, (a) you're reading the wrong book (the Perl Cookbook is a great book that will make you much happier), (b) meanwhile, to keep you smiling while you go purchase a more appropriate oeuvre, try: checksum = lambda a: ( 10 - sum([int(y)*[7,3,1][x%3] for x, y in enumerate(str(a)[::-1])])%10)%10 See AlsoA good therapist, if you do prefer the one-line checksum version. |

WhatsApp stops working on millions of old phones this month - see if yours is on the list
by Buzz ContributorWhatsApp users be warned, the popular smartphone app could stop working on your mobile soon as the chat app looks to streamline its service in 2020.
As is customary for many phone apps, the Facebook-owned WhatsApp app is also preparing to cull a wide range of older model phones who it will no longer support moving forward.
A Whats-App support page has confirmed that it will stop supporting certain devices on December 31, 2019. That being said the iOS and Android blocks for certain devices won’t happen in full until closer to February 1, 2020.
So you should still be able to send that all-important "Happy New Year" message on New Years Day, but as WhatsApp warns, "some features may stop functioning at any time."
As such, the only solution faced by smartphone users impacted will be to simply upgrade their handset if they wish to continue using the service. beyond the 2020 dates mentioned.
What Phones Will Stop Working?
There's a widespread of phones impacted by the announcement, but the users who will most likely be impacted are those with an iPhone running software older than iOS 7.
That means that those with an iPhone 5S and 5C are most likely to be impacted from an Apple standpoint.
Likewise, any Android device which is still running version 2.3.7 will also find themselves impacted, with Windows Phone users the worst hit, as access will completely stop on December 31, 2019
A full list of smartphones that will no longer be supported can be found just below, as per an update posted to the WhatsApp support page recently.
Smartphones that will soon stop supporting WhatsApp include:
• Nokia Symbian S60 after June 30, 2017
• BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 after December 31, 2017
• Nokia S40 after December 31, 2018
• All Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019
• Android versions 2.3.7 and older after February 1, 2020
• iPhone iOS 7 and older after February 1, 2020
WhatsApp says that anyone using these older phones can no longer create new accounts or reverify existing accounts.
‘Because we no longer actively develop for these operating systems, some features might stop functioning at any time,’ the company said in a blog post announcing the cut-off dates.

Whom can we trust today?
What’s wrong with the world these days? So much fake, make up, stalking, fishing, spam, hidden traps and unwanted add ups to the bills. To make collaborative consumption happen, we have to rely on: „oh, don’t worry. I bring your car back tomorrow!“ On Polly & Bob we want to establish a culture of trust.

It is individual but not individualized. Nobody stays separate.
Start by adding neighbors to you MyNeighbors list. -
What is the human being about?
Eyes can only meet in real life. On Polly & Bob we do clickclickclick and touch-screentouch. But we do it in order to get together offline. We say: ‘Take the time. Enrich your life', because we believe the human condition is about to meet and spend time with other people. We know it is easier to sit on a couch and watch. But we know also that it is much more rewarding to meet in Real life.
Real life is what life really is about. -
What‘s up around me?
Where is something going on now? Who is free for having a coffee? Who joins in for the football match tonight? Who wants to explore the city together? Who organizes exciting stuff on the weekend? Who is having dinner with me today?
Fun, around me, any time. Find it on Polly & Bob. -
So much stuff unused.
Millions of cars are standing in the streets. So much stuff collects dust in the junk room, self storages and even living rooms of our world. Why not use it? Why do we have to own it? Everything we need is access. The 21st century will see a dramatic change in the way we consume. The economy will turn from a possession economy to an access economy. We can organize this on Polly & Bob.
Own less, have more. It’s access stupid!

This is a really great store cupboard risotto requiring very simply ingredients. I like to add a little
butter at the end of cooking as it makes for a very creamy risotto which I love.
Heat a large heavy-based saucepan and add the oil and half the butter. Heat until it is foaming then add the onion and gently cook for about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes then stir in the rice and heat through for a minute until shiny and opaque.
Pour in the wine and boil for 1 minute to allow the alcohol to evaporate, stirring constantly. Turn down the heat to medium heat and begin to add the stock a ladleful at a time allowing the liquid to be absorbed into the rice before adding more.
After 15 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
When the rice feels soft and fluffy and the texture is creamy but each grain is still firm to the bite in the centre the risotto is ready. At this point take the risotto of the heat and stir in the remaining butter, cheese and mint and season to taste. Leave to rest with the lid on for a few minutes then serve immediately.

This enumeration represents the most restrictive type of gating that is being
performed by an entity. This is useful as a shortcut to avoid a lot of lookups
when determining whether the gating on an Entity applies to everyone equally, or
to their specific Profile or Character states.
None = There is no gating on this item.
Global = The gating on this item is based entirely on global game state. It will
be gated the same for everyone.
Clan = The gating on this item is at the Clan level. For instance, if you're
gated by Clan level this will be the case.
Profile = The gating includes Profile-specific checks, but not on the Profile's
characters. An example of this might be when you acquire an Emblem: the Emblem
will be available in your Kiosk for all characters in your Profile from that
point onward.
Character = The gating includes Character-specific checks, including character
level restrictions. An example of this might be an item that you can't purchase
from a Vendor until you reach a specific Character Level.
Item = The gating includes item-specific checks. For BNet, this generally
implies that we'll show this data only on a character level or deeper.
AssumedWorstCase = The unlocks and checks being used for this calculation are of
an unknown type and are used for unknown purposes. For instance, if some great
person decided that an unlock value should be globally scoped, but then the game
changes it using character-specific data in a way that BNet doesn't know about.
Because of the open-ended potential for this to occur, many unlock checks for "
globally" scoped unlock data may be assumed as the worst case unless it has been
specifically whitelisted as otherwise. That sucks, but them's the breaks.

After database initialization and assignment to the Registry.DBPOOL
variable, you can always utilize the twisted.enterprise.adapi.ConnectionPool
's
API directly:
from twisted.enterprise import adbapi from twistar.registry import Registry def done(result): print "I just made a table" Registry.DBPOOL = adbapi.ConnectionPool('MySQLdb', user="twistar", passwd="apass", db="twistar") Registry.DBPOOL.runQuery("CREATE DATABASE users (id INT ...").addCallback(done)
The alternative, described below, might be much more useful for basic CRUD operations.
In the InteractionBase
you'll find all of the create/read/update/delete (CRUD)
methods supported by the internal configuration class. To use these methods, use the Registry to get the current configuration
object:
from twisted.enterprise import adbapi from twistar.registry import Registry Registry.DBPOOL = adbapi.ConnectionPool('MySQLdb', user="twistar", passwd="apass", db="twistar") dbconfig = Registry.getConfig() d = dbconfig.select("users", where=['first_name = ?', 'Bob'], orderby='last_name DESC', limit=100) d.addCallback(someResultHandlerFunction)
Each of the CRUD methods gives you more control on the query that is generated. For more information, see the following
methods in InteractionBase
:


| paths {renv} | R Documentation |
Access the paths that renv
uses for global state storage.
paths
An object of class list
of length 3.
By default, renv
collects state into these folders:
| Platform | Location |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/renv |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/renv |
| Windows | %LOCALAPPDATA%/renv |
If desired, this path can be adjusted by setting the RENV_PATHS_ROOT
environment variable. This can be useful if you'd like, for example, multiple
users to be able to share a single global cache.
The various state sub-directories can also be individually adjusted, if so desired (e.g. you'd prefer to keep the cache of package installations on a separate volume). The various environment variables that can be set are enumerated below:
| Environment Variable | Description |
RENV_PATHS_ROOT | The root path used for global state storage. |
RENV_PATHS_LIBRARY | The path to the project library. |
RENV_PATHS_LIBRARY_ROOT | The parent path for project libraries. |
RENV_PATHS_LOCAL | The path containing local package sources. |
RENV_PATHS_SOURCE | The path containing downloaded package sources. |
RENV_PATHS_BINARY | The path containing downloaded package binaries. |
RENV_PATHS_CACHE | The path containing cached package installations. |
RENV_PATHS_RTOOLS | (Windows only) The path to Rtools. |
RENV_PATHS_EXTSOFT | (Windows only) The path containing external software needed for compilation of Windows source packages. |
Note that renv
will append platform-specific and version-specific entries
to the set paths as appropriate. For example, if you have set:
Sys.setenv(RENV_PATHS_CACHE = "/mnt/shared/renv/cache")
then the directory used for the cache will still depend on the renv
cache version (e.g. v2
), the R version
(e.g. 3.5
) and the platform (e.g. x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
). For example:
/mnt/shared/renv/cache/v2/R-3.5/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
This ensures that you can set a single RENV_PATHS_CACHE
environment variable
globally without worry that it may cause collisions or errors if multiple
versions of R needed to interact with the same cache.
If reproducibility of a project is desired on a particular machine, it is
highly recommended that the renv
cache of installed packages + binary
packages is stored, so that packages can be easily restored in the future –
installation of packages from source can often be arduous.
If you want these settings to persist in your project, it is recommended that you add these to an appropriate R startup file. For example, these could be set in:
A project-local .Renviron
;
The user-level .Renviron
;
A file at $(R RHOME)/etc/Renviron.site
.
Please see ?Startup for more details.
If your project depends on one or R packages that are not available in any
remote location, you can still provide a locally-available tarball for renv
to use during restore. By default, these packages should be made available in
the folder as specified by the RENV_PATHS_LOCAL
environment variable. The
package sources should be placed in a file at one of these locations:
${RENV_PATHS_LOCAL}/<package>_<version>.<ext>
${RENV_PATHS_LOCAL}/<package>/<package>_<version>.<ext>
<project>/renv/local/<package>_<version>.<ext>
<project>/renv/local/<package>/<package>_<version>.<ext>
where .<ext>
is .tar.gz
for source packages, or .tgz
for binaries on
macOS and .zip
for binaries on Windows. During a restore()
, packages
installed from an unknown source will be searched for in this location.
In order to determine whether a package can safely be removed from the cache,
renv
needs to know which projects are using packages from the cache. Since
packages may be symlinked from the cache, and symlinks are by nature a one-way
link, projects need to also report that they're using the renv
cache.
To accomplish this, whenever renv
is used with a project, it will record
itself as being used within a file located at:
${RENV_PATHS_ROOT}/projects
This file is list of projects currently using the renv
cache. With this,
renv
can crawl projects registered with renv
and use that to determine if
any packages within the cache are no longer in use, and can be removed.
# get the path to the project library path <- renv::paths$library()


This article is about slowness — the lack of sense of speed in life, why we need it and why we don’t seem to get it.
A: "What is your favorite thing to drink?"
— Rohit Gupta (@rohit7gupta) October 15, 2019
Me : Slow boiled water.
Many times and many things have to be done fast. No one asks Why? Fast food, Fast design (Design Thinking), Fast Code (Lean, Sprint, Agile) all lead to bad health, eventually.
Details are lost. There is no fun. The society or the accelerationist environment of progress criminalizes for slowly done work. Slack is punished and tasks are automated. As you gain time for being fast, the joy one gets from the task is not there. The immersion is superficial and checklist-y. There is always a server or process to blame for the lack of fun. No wonder many fast jobs are no longer creative but are creativity served like Big Mc Burger.
Fast, IMO, is largely a marketed trait and not a natural, required one. Humans cannot be fast in everything, we are slow animals. Remember the last time you were expecting something to be fast. Was it at a home delivery ? Or was it running at the cost of not enjoying? Most of this ‘need for speed’ is actually not needed.
As they say that the depth is in the details. Details seem to take more time to consume. The lowering attention span is already a pandemic fueled by the many attention kidnapping apps. Then there are all these things about reading 300 books a year, listening to 10x podcasts, and blah blah. You get that. The point is, being on the surface and consuming thing (podcasts, books, etc) does not leave time enough for that essential reflection to truly see the depth.
The pandemic seems to have increased this as well. As we all, lay trapped in a cabin, working and watching, there is a reinvention pressure. Binging to stay ahead of the Netflix buffet seems to be quite predominant. FYI, Netflix considers a viewing time for more than 2 minutes as a view. Seldom do viewers pay attention to the way the shot has been composed and lately, the directors have lost ‘that’ cinematic attention (again IMO). Many friends watch shows for several seasons only to forget what they were about. They do give a good rating.
Many skills are best learned when we start slowly. Like slow, SLOW. As Dreyfus Model of Skills suggests, slowly copying without striving to post on instagram yet!🤭
Especially with sports, If one is training to run for a marathon, it is the ability to consistently run at slower speeds and save the boost for later. Murakami often recounts this in his book , What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. It does get very irritating as we begin. My runner friend, Ben, always suggests me to run for a longer time than for longer distances or lesser times. I guess it’s the same when you learning music. The tempo is slow, but that is required for muscle memory to build up.
John Cleese talks about it in the section of his book, Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide on “Tortoise brain” and “Hare Brain”. He largely attributes the Tortoise brain to unconscious processes and the Hare brain that gets things done. Hence, we need both and not just mindless running.
So, I want to make a point that there seems to be value in not being fast all the time. Maybe a bit slow can help us all. Slow is not lazy. Fast is not all bad. A good mix of reflection, conscious consumption, and production seem to be the key. Like this beer commercial from Madrid, asking you to live without haste.
This article may seem like a rant or an observation. However, I am trying to make a case for slow. I have a simpler follow-up article on some habit or rituals, I have been experimenting with to cope with these experiences. I hope I can edit that soon and put it out.
Until then, chill. 🐢 🍻
Cheers y un abrazo,

Learning-to-Fly (L2F): Learning-based mission-aware Collision Avoidance
In order for fleets of drones managed by different operators to share an airspace, they require a fast, reliable and fair Collision Avoidance (CA) approach to ensure safety. This project aims to develop such methods by combining learning-based decision making and decentralized Model Predictive Control to perform on-the-fly, predictive Collision Avoidance (CA) between two (co-operative) drones. In addition to performing CA in real-time, L2F also ensures that the drones do not violate their original mission requirements. The video below shows a simulation where two pairs of drones are have conflicting pre-planned trajectories, and also shows the resulting safe trajectories obtained via L2F.

Fly-by-Logic: Safe-planning for Drone Fleets
Safe planning and control of multi-rotor drone fleets performing complex missions has been a challenging problem. Methods that offer guarantees on safety and mission satisfaction generally do not scale well. On the other hand, more computationally tractable approaches do not offer any safety guarantees. This project develops methods that overcomes these limitations for a wide variety of missions, e.g. the video below shows a mission where 2 pairs of drones are tasked with patrolling two regions within predefined time intervals, and while avoiding a no-fly zone and collisions with each other.

Co-design of Anytime Computation and Control for Autonomous Systems
Perception-based state estimation for autonomous system is generally a computationally expensive process, both in terms of execution time and energy consumption on the computation platform. This work develops a contract-driven framework for closed-loop interplay between: a) a predictive control algorithm and b) a flexible anytime perception-based state estimator to trade-off computation time (and energy) for estimation accuracy while guaranteeing robust (or chance-constrained) constraint satisfaction of the autonomous system. Experimental results show the benefit of this framework over approaches that do not leverage this co-design.

Organizing Risks¶
Instead of focusing on a single individual, this section of documentation focuses on how a group of individuals would mitigate a risk in unison.
From the principles of this documentation, a single engineer working in isolation should be capable of measuring risk. They would do this by creating scenarios that describe their risks and forecasting its outcomes.
Organizations are likely to have lots of varying activities in flight that generate wildly different forms of risk. Let’s take for instance, a rocket ship. Entirely different organizations and skillsets may be building the rocket, the hull, and the electronics used by astronauts.
Despite the variance in all of these disciplines, we still need to measure the likelihood that a “mission to mars” will succeed without failure.
One of the first concepts to understand when discussing large efforts around risk is the concept of “rigor” as it applies to risk measurement.
Rigor¶
The expectation of “rigor” in measurement.¶
Carl Sagan once said “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. For us, extraordinary decisions follow the same principle.
A decision to launch a rocket ship is not one to be taken lightly, nor would you expect it to be the sole decision of a single individual.
Leadership can require that a “Launch” decision meet certain requirements that defend it against negligence, cognitive error, corruption, imaginative failures, or gaps of evidence. Some examples will be listed here, and extrapolated in the continuing documentation:
- Risks are decomposed into a register by the individuals mitigating them.
- Forecasts are gathered by individuals who have been calibration trained.
- Forecasters have a determined track record with Brier scores meeting a specific threshold. (See: Keeping Score)
- Historical data was sought out and modeled with frequentist approaches to inform forecasting.
- Measurement of “unknown” factors were a part of forecasts.
- A panel of individuals were relied on instead of a single individual.
- The panel included outside expertise.
- Monte Carlo and uncertainty modeling was available to experts.
Requiring effective forecasters.¶
After a certain amount of practice or calibration training, a decision maker can exclude forecasters with regularly poor calibration, or not meeting a threshold Brier Score. (See: Keeping Score)
Whistleblowing and Complaints.¶
Some industries have created, and enforce, whistleblower regulation to protect channels that would surface risks or other failures. (See: NRC Whistleblower Protection)
Decision makers knowing that these channels exist which could question the integrity of risk measurement may find greater certainty in the information brought to them when issues are not surfaced.
The quality of these channels can also be measured, and if distrust of these channels exists, it can also be mitigated.
Decomposition of risk into a register.¶
Given our familiarity with scenarios, we understand that a natural hierarchy forms as we add conditions to a scenario.
For instance, “My house burns down tomorrow” is inherently more likely than “My house burns down tomorrow due to a grease fire”. The former scenario inherently includes the conditions of the second scenario.
This aspect of scenario building is important for a chief decision maker who may decide to “Go!” a space launch. They’ll need to be informed by the likelihoods of failure in several areas that could cause the mission to fail, like a rocket explosion, a hull failure, or an failure in electonic life support systems.
This can be simply modeled with simple “OR” logic operations in a spreadsheet. Visually:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Mission Success │
└─────────────────────┘
│
┌──────────────────────┼──────────────────────┐
│ │ │
▼ ▼ ▼
┌─────────────────────┐┌─────────────────────┐┌─────────────────────┐
│ Rocket Failure ││ Hull Breach ││ Electronic Failure │
└─────────────────────┘└─────────────────────┘└─────────────────────┘
Thus, these three example issues would be three scenarios:
- “The mission has failed due to a rocket failure. (Yes / No)”
- “The mission has failed due to a hull compromise. (Yes / No)”
- “The mission has failed due to an electronic failure. (Yes / No)”
As aerospace engineers approach a launch date, they could forecast outcomes based on proposed dates. These dates may allow for more or less testing, training, discovery of issues, etc.
┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐
│ JAN Launch ││ FEB Launch ││ MAR Launch │
└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐
│Rocket Failure: 1% ││Rocket Failure: .1% ││Rocket Failure: .01%│
└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐
│Hull Breach: 1% ││Hull Breach: .1% ││Hull Breach: .01% │
└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐┌────────────────────┐
│Elctrc Failure: 1% ││Elctrc Failure: .1% ││Elctrc Failure: .01%│
└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘└────────────────────┘
A simple model like the above is relying on three independent probabilities which cannot be directly added. They are instead calculated with the Inclusion / Exclusion Principle, however we can more easily estimate these values in a practical working environment using Monte Carlo software.
With either approach, we would have a likelihood of mission failure of about ~2.9%
in January, ~0.29%
in February, and ~0.029%
in March.
- Proof of work
Using the inclusion and exclusion principle, we estimate a total failure of any one of these issues causing the mission to fail.
(.01 + .01 + .01) - (.01 * .01) - (.01 * .01) - (.01 * .01) + (.01 * .01 * .01) = 0.029701
This is far easier to reproduce with a Monte Carlo simulation, which may require writing code or using statistics software, which this documentation will not cover.
With an approach like this, we can start to decompose a high level failure statement like “Mission Failure” into multiple areas of mitigation effort, or the discovery of new risks that influence failure.
This sort of delegation of risk can help decouple the prescription of risk mitigations from measurement. It allows the engineers focused on “rocket failure” to achieve their highest levels of certainty by any means, as opposed to following a prescribed checklist mandated by a leadership team.
The Monte Carlo simulation¶
To properly estimate the likelihood of mission success for January, February, or March, you would likely use a Monte Carlo simulation. A Monte Carlo approach to this problem depends on randomized trials to estimate outcomes.
Let’s estimate the likelihood of any failure in January. If any condition (Rocket, hull, or electric failure) occurs, the entire mission fails. In pseudocode:
rocket_failure = rand()
hull_breach = rand()
electric_failure = rand()
failure = OR(rocket_failure < .01, hull_breach < .01, electric_failure < .01)
Each value would be the result of a rand() value. Run many thousands of times, you would find the average result of failure. We’d see a 2.9%
chance of mission failure in January, because it would be the average likelihood of three independent conditions with 1% likelihoods each.
As models become more complex, Monte Carlo tools allow for cheap models and estimation without attempting to “solve” for risk mathematically. Monte Carlo methods are a powerful tool to critically inspect assumptions about risk, help build models that support all known context about a risk, and introduce uncertainty for values that don’t behave predictably.
Most importantly, the complex interactions between risks can be considered in Monte Carlo models. For instance, as the stresses increase for a `hull_breach
, the likelihood of an electric_failure
may increase as well, even before a hull_breach
condition is met. Major disasters are known for having several root causes with complicated, deeply coupled interactions with complex systems, and Monte Carlo modeling helps capture these interactions.
Quarterly estimations of a risk might be common in a business setting. If there is a belief that a scenario could occur with a specific quarterly likelihood, it could help estimate an annual likelihood as well, and vice versa.
That said, a scenario with a 5% chance of occurring in a quarter may have a ~19% chance of occurring in a year, as there are four quarters in a year and four opportunities to occur during the year.
| Quarterly likelihood of Occurrence | Estimated Annual Occurrence (Monte Carlo) |
|---|---|
| 0.25% | ~1.00% |
| 0.5% | ~1.99% |
| 1% | ~3.94% |
| 3% | ~11% |
| 5% | ~19% |
| 13% | ~41% |
| 25% | ~69% |
| 50% | ~94% |
| 99% | ~100% |
These can be directly calculated with the principle of inclusion / exclusion, but is generally easier to model risk with Monte Carlo methods.
Panels of Forecasters¶
Groups of forecasters seem to benefit from the “Wisdom of Crowds” effect, and research has suggested that simple averages across multiple perspectives will have a debiasing effect on a forecast and generally improve effectiveness.
Philip Tetlock’s research into forecasting teams suggests that diversity in perspective also improves the effectiveness of forecasts.
There does not need to be much to the elicitation of experts on a panel, but there are more formal approaches of panel estimations like the Delphi Method.
Panels also reduce the risk of bias towards defensive decision making, as a single individual may not even be identified in the decision as the sole actor to go forward with a decision.
Protecting against a low quality risk assessment.¶
You may want to apply efforts to measure the significance of remaining scenarios that were never identified.
It is highly likely that other scenarios may cause a space mission to fail, outside of the three we identified. To ensure that assessment of risk was thoroughly exhaustive, we can sample for how likely “unknown” events may cause an event.
As an example, outside of a rocket failure, hull breach, or electronics failure… one could imagine a variety of reasons that a mission may not succeed.
Within the risk register, another node can be added:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Mission Success │
└─────────────────────┘
│
┌──────────────────────┼──────────────────────┬───────────────┐
│ │ │ │
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
┌─────────────────────┐┌─────────────────────┐┌─────────────────────┐┌───────┐
│ Rocket Failure ││ Hull Breach ││ Electronic Failure ││ ? │
└─────────────────────┘└─────────────────────┘└─────────────────────┘└───────┘
If there the other (“?”) category has an undesirable value to leadership, it may call for more rigorous risk assessment methods to identify further scenarios to measure.
An anonymous panel may be necessary in cases where individuals feel uncomfortable surfacing a previously un-measured risk.
Decision Standards¶
An organization can create “levels” of rigor associated with important risks. Here are some example thoughts on organizing the appropriate amount of rigor for a decision.
These “levels” do not belong to any standard in particular - instead, they show how decision making effort can be wrapped into a requirement.
Note
For a real-world example, see NASA-STD-7009
- Level Zero
- A single individual estimate.
- Level One
- A estimate from a single individual who has received risk training, with reasonable access to reference classes or specific historical data.
- Level Two
- In addition to previous levels, this estimation is from an individual who is calibration trained (See: Calibration) and has maintained a Brier score under .4. (See Keeping Score)
- Level Three
- In addition to previous levels, a panel of three or more calibrated individuals were involved with this estimation.
- Level Four
- In addition to previous levels, an external expert was involved with the estimation.
Such levels can be created that map to an organizations necessary decisions, depending on the decision making resources available and the stakes involved with the decision.

(blotter / tab) |
i'm thinking back 33 years. i was 25 then, graduated from college and married to a graduate student in political science. the acid was made by a grad student in chemistry in ann arbor. we knew and trusted the source. my husband took it a couple of times and eventually i decided to try it. i'd thought about it and it was a genuine decision. i think all of that was important. there was no second guessing the decision or fears about what was in that tab.
i took it early in the evening. i sat on the couch and waited. not long. i felt a physical sensation like going up in a fast elevator. i remember wondering if this was part of the chemical effect or my way experiencing the words 'getting high.' i also remember paying attention as best i could to the process of it taking effect and remember a clear realization that this was a great power and that if i fought it, i'd lose. no contest. so it was a reaffirmation of my decision to go with it no matter what cause the time to consider was over.
my husband sat down in the chair across from me. flames outlined his body. i wondered if that was his aura. seemed to fit him.
the 'visuals' of this trip were amazing to me and vivid. for example: i was sitting, looking at the formica top of the kitchen table. really i was seeing a landscape with bones protruding from the ground beneath the trees. in the distance a woman beckoned and i followed, walking beneath a tree in which two people sat on a branch talking. i followed this wraith-like, raggedy lady for awhile. eventually she stopped at the mouth of a dark cave and turned to wave me forward. i stopped. no. the entire place vanished leaving the table top as before.
the term 'visuals' doesn't capture the sense of being there that i had with much of what i saw. most of the visuals, and there were many, had that quality of actually being there.
but i would not say that the hallucinations were the most remarkable aspect of the trip for me. in fact i would have to say that they were negligible in comparison to the profound sense, the absolute conviction that i was okay. that i was enough. that i had a right to be here.
i had seen many things before. well, these were just other things i was seeing. i had been places before. well these were just new places. But never ever before in my whole life had i felt absolutely at ease and at home inside my own skin. it was a revelation. and it was the most astonishing vision of the whole trip.
at about 1am we walked out to buy a pack of cigarettes. the bar on the corner was open so in we went. in the time it took us to cross the threshold and walk 5 feet inside the entire place fell silent with everyone staring at us. my husband looked at me, but i just went forward and asked the bartender for a pack of camels and we left. we stood on the corner a moment wondering what that had been about when suddenly a patron of the place exited foot first. he'd kicked the door open, swearing and tore off down the street. the only thing we could ever come up with to explain this odd scenario is that the neighborhood we lived in was home to a lot of illegal aliens and perhaps this was their bar and we didn't belong.
but the interesting part to me is that this would have freaked me out in my normal condition and tripping it stayed exactly what it was. just a minor glitch. it was okay that i didn't know what they were thinking. it was okay that they assigned a meaning to us being there that was not accurate. it was okay. i was okay.
at dawn it was waning. i listened to the band do 'rockin' chair' and could hear all the layers. i cried. 'it's my belief we've used up all our time; this hill's too steep to climb and the days that remain ain't worth a dime...' broke my heart to come down. but nobody stays.
i went to bed after that. so sad... until the cartoon of two hilarious chickens started on the wall of the room. just like a parting gift. i laughed till i cried again -- then fell asleep.
i tripped a few times again after that. not many. every time it was a visit home to myself. to me without all the unnecessary social baggage of anxiety, guilt, shame, competition, comparison and rigid conformity. how well i lived without all that!
the other day one of my sons was listening to a terence mckenna tape. mckenna said that his life happened years ago in the amazon and that, in a sense, the time since has been throw-away. i feel that way a bit myself.
but not really. lsd taught me. gave me a glimpse. lsd showed me what was valuable and necessary and what was just baggage. showed me what i was dealing with and in what direction to head. i never got over that. i hope i never do.

Man City players fuming at Liverpool opener - Gundogan
REUTERS: Manchester City players were left fuming in the dressing room after watching replays of Liverpool's controversial opening goal in a 3-1 loss at Anfield on Sunday, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has said.
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to handle the ball inside his own box in the sixth minute but instead of a City penalty the hosts broke and 22 seconds later Fabinho drilled in a spectacular goal from outside the box.
The goal was checked by VAR and allowed to stand as Liverpool went on to clinch the victory and move nine points clear of City in the Premier League title race.
"We saw the incident again in the dressing room afterwards and for me, obviously, it's a penalty - but if you ask a Liverpool player they would say, 'You can give it but it's maybe a 50-50 situation,'" Gundogan told reporters.
"It takes a tough mentality to fight against that and unfortunately they scored the second straight after."
City are aiming to become the first team since Manchester United in 2009 to win three consecutive Premier League titles but now occupy fourth spot in the table.
Last season, City recovered in the second half of the campaign to erase Liverpool's 10-point lead at the top and Gundogan wants the same level of commitment from his team mates.
"We have to accept it, but there is a long way to go. Last season in January we were quite far behind and able to turn it around," Gundogan added.

is the equivalent of an h1 title in HTML.
My Amazing Subtitle
-------------------
This is how you create a subtitle. It will be smaller than the head title and is equivalent of an
h2 title in HTML.
*this text is italic !*
This simple star around a text is used to make it italic like this.
**this text is bold !**
The double star is used to put a text in bold like this.
_this text is underlined_
Use the simple carret to diplay your text as underline, like this.
~~this text is striked-through~~
Use the double tilde (that weird symbol ~) to show your text as striked through.
Links and Images

Arrays
| Title | Category | Rating |
|------------------|----------------|--------|
| The Walking Dead | Horror | 10/10 |
| Breaking Bad | Drama - Comedy | 10/10 |
This is how you declare an array. It would render like this for example :
| Title |
Category |
Rating |
| The Walking Dead |
Horror |
10/10 |
| Breaking Bad |
Drama - Comedy |
10/10 |
Note that the sizes of the columns doesn't matter as long as the data matches. For example this
array could have been set this way :
| Title | Category | Rating |
|-------|----------|--------|
| The Walking Dead | Horror | 10/10 |
| Breaking Bad | Drama - Comedy | 10/10 |
