KISS PACKAGE MANAGER
________________________________________________________________________________
The KISS package manager is a self-contained POSIX shell script which is written
in a highly portable way. The entire utility comes in at under 1000 lines of
code (excluding blank lines/comments of which there are many).
The package manager is merely an implementation of the package format, its
requirements and some added sugar on top.

[2.0] Dependencies
________________________________________________________________________________
POSIX utilities are used where appropriate _and_ where they exist to solve a
particular problem. Utilities of which there is only a single and cross-platform
implementation are considered "portable" (git, curl, etc)
If a dependency can be made optional, it will be made so. Dependencies are also
kept to a minimum (though we must also remain realistic).
+------------------+------------------------------------------------+----------+
| Dependency | Reason for use | Required |
+------------------+------------------------------------------------+----------|
| POSIX utilities | Used throughout | Yes |
| git | Remote repositories and | Yes [1] |
| | package git sources | |

+------------------+------------------------------------------------+----------+
[1] Git is also required for contribution to the distribution itself. Strictly
speaking, nothing forces you to use git. Remote repositories and git based
sources will simply become unusable.
[2] There is no standard utility for the generation of sha256 checksums. While
sha256sum is listed above, the package manager also supports sha256, shasum
and openssl as fallbacks.
[3] The tar command has no standard! This came as a shock. The POSIX equivalent
is "pax" though this isn't in wide use (at least on Linux).
Our usage of tar is merely, cf, xf and tf. A patch is applied to sbase's
tar so that it supports "dashless" arguments (as all others do). Our usage
of tar cannot become any more basic than it is now. Portability should no
longer be a concern.
Tested tar implementations include: busybox, toybox, sbase, GNU and
libarchive (though all tar implementations should work in theory).
[4] These three compression methods are required as pretty much every package
source uses them as the tarball compression method.
The other compression methods are optional as no package sources (in the
official repositories) make use of them.
If a compression method has 1-3 uses (hasn't yet happened), the compression
method will simply become a 'make' dependency of the package until usage
increases to a "normality".
[5] A privilege escalation utility is only needed when using the package
manager as a normal user for system-wide package installation.
Installation to a user-writable directory does not require root access.
Root usage of the package manager (chroot usage for example) does not
require these utilities.
[6] If these are missing, binary stripping and/or the dependency fixer will
simply be disabled.
Regarding 'strip'; It has a POSIX specification, though the spec doesn't
contain any arguments whatsoever.
This makes our usage of 'strip' non-POSIX. That being said, our usage is
compatible with these 'strip' implementations.
strips: binutils, elfutils, elftoolchain, llvm, etc.
[3.0] Interesting Features
________________________________________________________________________________
[3.1] Runtime dependency detector built around 'ldd'
____________________________________________________________________________
Dynamic dependencies brought in by build systems (which are missing from the
package's dependency list) are fixed on-the-fly by checking which libraries
link to the package's files.
This prevents an incomplete dependency list from causing system breakage as
the package manager is able to complete the list.
A lot of packages make use of this "implicit" to "explicit" dependency list
"conversion" to provide optional dependencies.
Example output:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| -> libXmu Checking for missing dependencies |
| --- /home/dylan/conf/cache/kiss/build-4477/d |
| depends |
| @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ |
| +libX11 |
| +libXau |
| libXext |
| libXt |
| +libxcb |
| xorg-util-macros make |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[3.2] Fully dynamic (and automatic) alternatives system
____________________________________________________________________________
Any file conflicts between two packages automatically become choices in the
alternatives system.
This allows one to swap providers of files without needing to explicitly
tell the package manager that two packages conflict, provide the same
utilities, etc.
In other words, no changes need to be made to packages. In fact, nothing
needs to be done at all. It's entirely automatic.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| List available alternatives ('a' is an alias to 'alternatives'). |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss a |
| gnugrep /usr/bin/grep |
| ncurses /usr/bin/clear |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Swap to GNU grep. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss a gnugrep /usr/bin/grep |
| -> Swapping '/usr/bin/grep' from busybox to gnugrep |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Swap back to busybox grep. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss a busybox /usr/bin/grep |
| -> Swapping '/usr/bin/grep' from gnugrep to busybox |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Swap to all alternatives for a given package (sbase for example). |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss a | grep ^sbase | kiss a - |
| -> Swapping '/usr/bin/cat' from busybox to sbase |
| -> Swapping '/usr/bin/cut' from busybox to sbase |
| -> Swapping '/usr/bin/yes' from busybox to sbase |
| ...Many more lines of output... |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The above command works as the output of the alternatives listing is
directly usable as input to 'kiss a'.
[3.3] 3-way handshake for files in /etc/
____________________________________________________________________________
Files in /etc/ are handled differently to those elsewhere on the system. A
reinstallation or update to a package will not always overwrite these files.
Instead, a 3-way handshake happens during installation to determine how the
new /etc/ file should be handled.
If the user has made modifications to the file and those modifications
differ to the to-be-installed package's file, the file is installed with the
suffix '.new'
If the user hasn't touched the file, it will be automatically overwritten by
the package manager as it will contain updated/new contents..
If the user has touched the file but the file has not changed between
package versions, it will simply be skipped over.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Example (with sha256 checksums truncated to fit). |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| -> opendoas Doing 3-way handshake for etc/doas.conf |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[4.0] Configuration
________________________________________________________________________________
The package manager has no configuration files and no changes need to be made to
the system prior to its use. While there is no configuration file, this does not
mean that there is no possibility for configuration.
The package manager can be configured via the use of environment variables. I
believe this to be the best configuration method (where realistic). Environment
variables can be set system-wide, per-user, conditionally, for a single
invocation, etc, etc.
They require little to no extra code in the package manager to support them.
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Variable | Description |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| | |
| KISS_PATH | List of repositories. This works exactly like '$PATH' |
| | (a colon separated list of paths). |
| | |
| KISS_FORCE | Force installation/removal of package by bypassing |
| | dependency checks, etc. Set to '1' to enable. |
| | |
| KISS_CHOICE | Set to '0' to disable the alternatives system and error on |
| | any detected file conflicts. |
| | |
| KISS_HOOK | Hook into the package manager. Set to the full path to the |
| | script. See [6.0] |
| | |
| KISS_ROOT | Where installed packages will go. Can be used to install |
| | packages to somewhere other than '/'. |
| | |
| KISS_COLOR | Enable/Disable colors. Set to '0' to disable colors. |
| | |
| KISS_PROMPT | Skip all prompts. Set to '0' to say 'yes' to all prompts |
| | from the package manager. |
| | |
| KISS_COMPRESS | Compression method to use for built package tarballs |
| | (defaults to 'gz'). Valid: bz2, gz, lzma, lz, xz, zst |
| | |
| KISS_SU | The privilege escalation tool for installing packages |
| | (defaults to 'su'). Examples: sudo, doas, ssu, please |
| | |
| KISS_STRIP | Enable/Disable package stripping globally. |
| | Set to '0' to disable. |
| | |
| KISS_DEBUG | Keep temporary directories around for debugging purposes. |
| | Set to '1' to enable. |
| | |
| KISS_KEEPLOG | Keep build logs around for successful builds and not just |
| | failing ones. Set to '1' to enable. |
| | |
| KISS_TMPDIR | Temporary directory for builds. Can be set to a tmpfs so |
| | builds happen in memory. |
| | |
| KISS_PID | Use a reproducible cache naming scheme instead of |
| | build-$pid. If set to test, the result will be build-test. |
| | |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
There are also a myriad of "3rd-party" environment variables which control GCC,
Make, CMake, etc. These aren't used by the package manager. They're used by the
tools called by the package's build script.
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Variable | Description |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| XDG_CACHE_HOME | Cache directory location. |
| | |
| CC | C compiler. |
| CXX | C++ compiler. |
| AR | Archive tool. |
| NM | Symbol tool. |
| RANLIB | Index tool. |
| | |
| CFLAGS | C compiler flags. |
| CXXFLAGS | C++ compiler flags. |
| LDFLAGS | Linker flags. |
| MAKEFLAGS | Make flags. |
| SAMUFLAGS | Samurai flags. |
| RUSTFLAGS | Rust compiler flags. |
| | |
| CMAKE_GENERATOR | 'Unix Makefiles' or 'Ninja'. |
| | |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
[5.0] Repositories
________________________________________________________________________________
Repository management in KISS is very simple. Repositories are configurable via
an environment variable. This environment variable can be set system-wide,
per-user, conditionally (via a script or program), for a single invocation, etc.
The environment variable is called 'KISS_PATH' and is functionally identical to
the '$PATH' variable. A colon separated list of paths, in other words.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Example KISS_PATH |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ KISS_PATH=/var/db/kiss/repo/core:/var/db/kiss/repo/extra |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In the above example, two repositories are enabled (Core and Extra). The package
manager will search this list for packages in the order it is written.
Repositories can live anywhere on the system. In your '$HOME' directory,
somewhere system-wide in '/', etc. The only requirement is that a full path be
used.
[5.1] What is a repository?
____________________________________________________________________________
A KISS repository is simply a directory of directories. The quickest way to
get started is as follows.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. Create the repository |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ mkdir -p repo |
| $ cd repo |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. Let's 'fork' a few packages into our new repository. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss fork curl |
| $ kiss fork xz |
| $ kiss fork zlib |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is now a fully usable repository and it can be added to your KISS_PATH.
[5.2] Enabling a remote repository
____________________________________________________________________________
Let's assume that our KISS_PATH matches the above example (Core and Extra).
As an example, we'll be enabling the Community repository.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. Clone the repository |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| # This can live anywhere on the system. |
| $ git clone https://github.com/kiss-community/community |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. Enable the repository |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ export KISS_PATH=$KISS_PATH:/path/to/community/community |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[5.3] Preventing a package from receiving updates
____________________________________________________________________________
Preventing a package from receiving updates can be accomplished in a myriad
of different ways. The easiest method is to leverage a user repository.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. Create a new repository |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ mkdir -p no_updates |
| $ cd no_updates |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. Copy the package to the new repository |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ cp -r /var/db/kiss/installed/PKG_NAME /path/to/no_updates |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 3. Add the new repository to the /START/ of your KISS_PATH |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ export KISS_PATH=/path/to/no_updates:$KISS_PATH |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The package manager will search KISS_PATH in order. It will see that the
no_updates repository provides PKG_NAME and the version matches that which
is installed. No updates will again happen for the package.
[5.4] Package fallbacks
____________________________________________________________________________
If you would like to package something in your own repository but would
like the package manager to prefer other repositories before yours, simply
add your repository to the end of KISS_PATH.
The moment that your package is available elsewhere, the package manager
will prefer the new location to yours. The list is searched (in order) and
the first match is picked.
[5.5] Bypassing KISS_PATH
____________________________________________________________________________
There is a special case where one can bypass the regular KISS_PATH for a
single invocation of the package manager. This has been called "CRUX-like
usage" by users.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ cd /path/to/myrepo/firefox |
| $ kiss b |
| $ kiss i |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As seen above, various package manager commands will work without arguments,
so long as you are in a package's repository directory. This will prepend
the current directory to '$KISS_PATH' _only_ for this invocation.
[6.0] Package Manager Hooks
________________________________________________________________________________
KISS' package manager is extensible via hooks which fire at various different
places inside the utility. Hooks allow the user to modify behavior, add new
features or conditionally do things on a per-package basis.
This setting is controlled by the '$KISS_HOOK' environment variable which takes
the full path to a POSIX shell script as its value.
Example:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| export KISS_HOOK=$HOME/.local/bin/kiss-hook |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[6.1] Usage
____________________________________________________________________________
The script is sourced at each hook and is given three variables as input.
POSIX shell does not allow sourced scripts to receive arguments, these
variables are instead defined via the script's environment.
- '$PKG': The name of the current package.
- '$TYPE': The type of hook.
- '$DEST': The location where 'make install' will put files.
Valid values for '$TYPE' include:
pre-build, post-build, build-fail,
pre-install, post-install, pre-extract,
post-package.
As the hook script is sourced (instead of being executed in its own shell),
the script has the ability to override package manager internals and the
package manager's environment.
[6.2] Removing unneeded files from packages
____________________________________________________________________________
Packages can contain files which you will have no use for. A simple hook can
be defined to remove them from packages.
NOTE: This is the default 'KISS_HOOK' script. If defining your own, be sure
to include this if you would like to continue to remove these files.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| case $TYPE in |
| post-build) |
| # Ensure that '$DEST' is set. |
| : "${DEST:?DEST is unset}" |
| |
| rm -rf "$DEST/usr/share/gettext" \ |
| "$DEST/usr/share/polkit-1" \ |
| "$DEST/usr/share/locale" \ |
| "$DEST/usr/share/info" \ |
| "$DEST/usr/lib/charset.alias" |
| ;; |
| esac |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[6.3] Building some packages in memory (tmpfs)
____________________________________________________________________________
This hook runs on pre-extract and conditionally runs the source extraction,
package build process and resulting tarball creation in memory. The benefit
of this is a nice speedup throughout (especially when used alongside
ccache).
NOTE: '/tmp' must be mounted as 'tmpfs' for this to work.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| case $TYPE in |
| pre-extract) |
| case $PKG in |
| # Run everything on disk for these memory hungry packages. |
| firefox|firefox-esr|rust|llvm|clang) |
| mak_dir=$KISS_TMPDIR/build-$pid |
| pkg_dir=$KISS_TMPDIR/pkg-$pid |
| ;; |
| |
| *) |
| log "$PKG" "Activating tmpfs" |
| |
| mak_dir=/tmp/build-$pid |
| pkg_dir=/tmp/pkg-$pid |
| ;; |
| esac |
| |
| mkdir -p "$mak_dir" "$pkg_dir/$PKG/var/db/kiss/installed" |
| ;; |
| esac |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[6.4] Logging build duration
____________________________________________________________________________
This hook adds a new message post-build with the total build duration in a
human readable format (00h 00m). Similar code is used in the boot process
of the system to calculate boot time.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| case $TYPE in |
| pre-build) |
| IFS=. read -r _start _ < /proc/uptime |
| ;; |
| |
| post-build) |
| IFS=. read -r _end _ < /proc/uptime |
| |
| ( |
| _s=$((_end - _start)) |
| _h=$((_s / 60 / 60 % 24)) |
| _m=$((_s / 60 % 60)) |
| |
| [ "$_h" = 0 ] || _u="${_u}${_h}h " |
| [ "$_m" = 0 ] || _u="${_u}${_m}m " |
| |
| log "$PKG" "Build finished in ${_u:-${_s}s}" |
| ) |
| ;; |
| esac |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[6.5] Setting the terminal title
____________________________________________________________________________
This hook uses the Xterm escape sequence to change the terminal title, which
is supported by most modern terminal emulators. The title will include the
name of the package currently being build, the position in the batch and the
total amount of packages to be build. That way it's easy to keep track of
build progress, without having to scroll past a wall of compiler output.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| case $TYPE in |
| pre-extract) |
| # If stderr is not a terminal, kiss is most likely run |
| # headlessly and changing the terminal title is pointless. |
| [ -t 2 ] && { |
| printf '\033]0;kiss: %s (%d/%d)\a' \ |
| "$PKG" "${pkg_cur:-?}" "${pkg_total:-?}" >&2 |
| } |
| ;; |
| esac |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[7.0] Package Manager Extensions
________________________________________________________________________________
Anything in the user's '$PATH' which matches the glob 'kiss-*' will be directly
usable via the package manager. For example, 'kiss-size' is also usable as
'kiss size' (and even 'kiss si') (the shortest available alias).
The detected 'kiss-*' utilities will appear in the package manager's help output
with the second line in the script acting as a doc-string.
Example help output:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| kiss extensions |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| -> Installed extensions (kiss-* in $PATH) |
| -> chroot Enter a kiss chroot |
| -> depends Display a package's dependencies |
| -> export Installed package to tarball |
| -> fork Fork a package into the current dir |
| -> graph List all packages alphabetically with size |
| -> help Read KISS documentation |
| -> link Link a repo file to another repo |
| -> maintainer Find the maintainer of a package |
| -> manifest Display all files owned by a package |
| -> new Create a boilerplate package |
| -> orphans List orphaned packages |
| -> outdated Check repository packages for updates |
| -> owns Check which package owns a file |
| -> preferred List the owners of all files with conflicts |
| -> repo-orphans List all packages which aren't present in a repository |
| -> reset Remove all packages but base |
| -> revdepends Packages which depend on package |
| -> size Show the size on disk for a package |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
These are optional utilities which interact with the package system in one way
or another. My hope behind them is to act as an example for how easy it is to
interface with the plain-text and "static" package system.
Example utility:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| kiss-depends (kiss depends, kiss de) |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| #!/bin/sh -ef |
| # Display a package's dependencies |
| |
| # Ignore shellcheck as we want the warning's behavior. |
| # shellcheck disable=2015 |
| [ "$1" ] && kiss l "${1:-null}" >/dev/null || { |
| printf 'usage: kiss-depends [pkg]\n' |
| exit 1 |
| } |
| |
| cat "$KISS_ROOT/var/db/kiss/installed/$1/depends" 2>/dev/null |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[8.0] Tips and Tricks
________________________________________________________________________________
A lot of the package manager's features are hard to discover or otherwise
non-obvious to its users. This section will document these features, how to use
them and the benefits they bring.
[8.1] Swap grep implementations for a major speed up.
____________________________________________________________________________
The default grep implementation in KISS is busybox grep. This version of
grep works very well and supports a large number of features. The one issue
is that it is painfully slow when compared to other popular implementations.
A fairly major speedup can be attained by swapping to a different grep via
the alternatives system. The fastest grep implementation around is GNU grep
which is available in Community as 'gnugrep'.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1.   This is to speedup cloning,
and for most packages does not alter the package building process. This
shallow cloning is done in a way which still allows git --describe.
For packages which require submodules, add 'git submodule update --init' to
pull in the required submodules.

How much would be your next taxi trip?
We tried loading the data the regular way, and as expected, it took forever to even just reading in the data to jupyter notebook. (Jupyter notebook ran for about an hour and still was loading [*]...) Then we came across a method to dissect the data into chunks of 1,000,000. As a result, we are able to load the data in less than 20 mins
Our Majority of the data falls between $5 and $10
Based on the scatter plot, it seems like as passenger increases, the fare of the trip decreases. It might be because people are willing to take more expensive trips by themselves
It does not seem like the hour of the day have a significant impact on the fare.
However, frequency is the lowest at 5am and hightet at 8pm
I mean of course! This will definitely affect the fare. As we dig deeper, we will first need to clean up the lat/long a bit. To capture all the data within NYC, we defined a Boundary Box to capture all data points within NYC and elimiated all the outliers.
** Area to improve: We can try to elminate the data points that lies in the water **

Eventually, the formual boils down to the following where φ is latitude, λ is longitude, R is earth’s radius (mean radius = 6,371km) to include latitude and longitude coordinates (A and B in this case).
a = sin²((φB - φA)/2) + cos φA . cos φB . sin²((λB - λA)/2)
c = 2 * atan2( √a, √(1−a) )
d = R ⋅ c

BIG, BAD 'GODZILLA'
a review by Jeff ("spoilers") Pidgeon
If you've never seen "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Aliens" or "The Professional", you might be find the latest remake of "Godzilla" tolerable. For me, Roland ("ID4") Emmerich and Dean Dev- lin's latest super-production was yet another patchwork quilt of lifted shots and scenes from several other films. One might expect a certain amount of old familiar feelings -- this is after all, a remake; but it's mostly that and only that; a huge bundle of predictable moments delivered with plenty of carnage but not much excitement. It starts out promisingly -- creepy titles of video nuclear testing footage all shot in a nasty toxic yellow color over David Arnold's ominous score (the credits grow as we watch them) -- but almost from the moment the film gets underway (with an attack on a Japanese fishing trawler), everything feels trumped-up and cloned, as if the sole motivation for the film was to out-do every other film in existence: "Oh, so the shark in 'Jaws' attacks a little boat?" "Well, we'll have Godzilla attack a BIG boat!" "The shark drags one boat around?" "We'll have our beastie drag THREE!!" "Terrific!!" A couple of these Spielberg-esque attacks, and we're on our way. Using this "Close Encounters" technique of hiding The Big Surprise from view for the first half hour or so works well when you're not really sure what you're going to get at the end (i.e. little ships and -- whoa! -- the mothership!), but here, since we do know, it mostly builds impatience to see The Monster in The City. Like "ID4", "Godzilla" has a number of plots running at once: Nick Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick) tries to save New York from getting completely squashed while seeing if he really is still estranged from his one-time -fiancee/aspiring reporter Audrey Timmonds (Maria Pitillo, who plays one of those characters that you frequently pray will get stepped on or eaten). Audrey is trying to decide between Love and Her Career, having stolen a video- tape of Godzilla's exposition and leaked it to the press. Animal (Hank Azar- ia) and Lucy (Arabella Field) seem to exist to round out a "Twister"-esque band of characters with cartoonish Noo Yawk accents thrown in for flavor. Philippe Roche (Jean Reno) plays a sinister member of the French secret ser- vice who at first works against, then alongside our main characters to defeat the creature. Apparently, French atomic tests were responsible for the darn thing, and they want to cover it up. Good luck convincing everybody that those crushed buildings were just swamp gas, guys! New York mayor Roger Ebert (Michael Lerner) -- yes, he has a balding assistant named Gene and they fight all the time -- butts heads with the the Main Army Guy (Kevin Dunn) and with Nick over whether or not Godzilla is actually Goddess-zilla, or Godzillette; are eggs being laid somewhere on Manhattan? Of course! We're even nudged to empathize -- her rampage is actually just Mommy trying to raise her vicious, blood-thirsty little chicks in peace. Aww! Sorry folks, I thought they should have soaked that whole "Lost World" island in nerve gas. I mean, these aren't spotted owls we're talking about here -- these are HUGE, CARNIVOROUS MONSTERS THAT BREATHE RADIOACTIVE FIRE! Kong and Frankenstein clearly weren't violent unless provoked, and they were certainly happy left in their own territory. They didn't go building nests in Madison Square Garden! Sorry! No sympathy! This is spectacle on such a grand scale that the quality is stretched pretty thin. Most of the technical work in the film remains firmly in the middle ground -- not pie-plate awful, nor ground-breaking innovation. Most of "Godzilla"'s effect's work feels at best uninspired and at worst rushed to completion. Much like "Lost In Space", the overall effect that the filmmakers seem to be reaching for is a benumbed awe rather than any sort of suspenseful rhythm or build. To be fair, a couple of the effects sequences are built on entertain- ing ideas -- Godzillette isn't invulnerable in this film, she's just really fast -- fast enough to evade surface-to-air missiles and underwater torpedoes (Whether you want to buy this is another thing, but it makes for a nice vari- ation, as opposed to the our-weapons-don't-seem-to-hurt-it stuff). I liked the way the fire-breathing was suggested rather than blatant, and the cab chase in Manhattan (culminating on the Brooklyn Bridge) caught my eye as de- cent spectacle. Vicki Lewis plays a cute scientist that I was hoping to see more of, but was squashed beneath the wheels of the central romance. Most of these moments, though, are glints on a two-hour-plus stretch of asphalt. The film's sense of humor falls flat the vast majority of the time, and its attempts to connect you with its characters induce wincing. Most of my friends who are Godzilla fans say that it isn't a Godzilla movie. Others say it's more of a remake of "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" than "God- zilla". Not being all that familiar with those films, I can't say. But there's a lot of books I would recommend you start reading with those two hours that you'll save by not seeing "Godzilla". Not Recommended.

RT @markimbriaco: When we say to decouple your code, we mean from other code and not from reality. Sorry that was confusing.

This course offers an exploration of the science, management, and
investigative techniques for the field of crime scene investigation. Students
will develop the intellectual skills needed to be able to plan for and
organize a crime scene investigation. Each student will understand the nature
and value of each kind of physical evidence and how to recognize, collect and
preserve it. They will research all the topics in this course and provide
their own evidence of competency in each in the form of a professional
portfolio.

is overloaded here for cases in which both groups have corresponding lists of generators.OUTPUT:
an instance of the element class of self if there exists a group homomorphism mapping the generators of the domain of self to the according generators of the codomain. Else the method falls back to the default.
EXAMPLES:

- class sage.groups.libgap_morphism.GroupMorphism_libgap(homset, gap_hom, check=True)#
Bases:
Morphism
This wraps GAP group homomorphisms.
Checking if the input defines a group homomorphism can be expensive if the group is large.
INPUT:

– (default:True
) check if thegap_hom
is a group homomorphism; this can be expensive

Reviews of Date Balls:
-
debruttenbur - After struggling to form balls from the resulting mixture I found other recipes that scaled the ingredients differently. Reduce the crispy rice cereal to only one cup and you should have very good results. With three cups of the cereal you will have difficulty forming balls that hold together.
-
Donna Keel - The problem other people are having with the recipe is because of the type of dates used. If you use a chopped date made for snacking it has a coating on it to keep it from sticking together. This makes them hard to melt and removes stickiness. Baking dates on the other hand come all clumped together and melt easily. Amport is a good brand. Rule: if it don't stick in bag it won't make balls.
-
Meredith Missroon - I followed the advice of other commenters and reduced the rice crispies to 1 cup. I also changed out the margarine for butter. Finally I bought chipped pecans because the chopped ones at my store weren't chopped enough and I didn't want to fool with chopping them. I made them for a ladies tea party event and they seemed to be a big hit.
-
Peggy - My husband said they tasted exactly like the cookies his grandmother made when he was a little boy.:)

Glory Gooding - after misplacing my usual Date Ball recipe I gave this one a try. very tasty but like others the mixture is too dry. I aborted trying to roll it into balls after the second one and pressed it into a 9x13 like Rice Crispy Treats and dusted with powdered sugar. crumbly but very good!
-
pathays - Unable to roll into balls. Not sure what happened. I'm going to melt marshmallows and pour over dry mixture to see if they can form into balls.
-
Aubrey Iacobelli - 3 stars for frustration level. Read the reviews and scaled sugar back to 3/4 cup crispies to one cup and I still had the crumbliness going on when trying to form the balls. Pressed it into a pan like one reviewer suggested: nope fell apart. Pressed it into mini cupcake tins: nope fell apart. Refrigerated it in the the hopes that the fat would solidify to bell hold everything together: nope fell apart. As I was about to chuck it out in frustration I remember that dates are naturally sticky so I threw the mixture into a food processor and voila! Sticky dough perfect for rolling. It wasn t nearly as crunchy as before so next time I ll try processing everything but the crispies then mix those in by hand afterwards. Also my personal preference is they are still way too sweet. I ll try cutting sugar back even more.
-
joan - tastes good but I think the rice cereal needs to be crushed instead of whole.
-
Joan - It is impossible to make balls with this recipe. There is way too much Rice Krispies in the recipe. You should redo it or remove it.
