I love opportunities to brag on students that do some great work. As often as I can, I’ll send something in to Twitter or other teachers in our school.

Variable Documentation
|
|
Minimal size of a heap chunk requested from the OS.
Definition at line 37 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Maximal size of a heap chunk requested from the OS. Maximal is not strictly true, if a contiguous memory chunk is requested that exceeds hcsz_max, a chunk will be allocated that fits that request. Definition at line 45 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Increment ratio for chunk size. If a space has requested hcsz_inc_ratio chunks of heap memory, the chunk size is doubled. Definition at line 52 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Decrement ratio for chunk size. When a space is cloned, the new clone normally inherits the current chunk size from the original space. However, if the original space has requested less than hcsz_dec_ratio heap chunks of the current chunk size, the current chunk size for the clone is halfed. Definition at line 62 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Unit size for free lists. The unit size (given as binary logarithm) defines how big a unit of memory for free lists is. Also, it defines the alignment. Sizes of free list objects must be multiples of the unit size. Currently, for 32 bit machines, the unit size is 4 bytes. For 64 bit machines, it is 8 bytes. Definition at line 75 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Minimal size for free list element. The minimal size is given in the number of free list units. Currently, for 32 bit machines, the minimal size is 12 bytes. For 64 bit machines, it is 16 bytes. Definition at line 84 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Maximal size for free list element. The maximal size is given in the number of free list units. Currently, for 32 bit machines, the maximal size is 12 bytes. For 64 bit machines, it is 16 bytes. Definition at line 93 of file memory-manager.icc. |
|
|
Number of free lists elements to allocate. When a request for a free list element can not be fulfilled, as the free list is empty and there is also no reusable memory available, allocate fl_refill free list elements. Definition at line 101 of file memory-manager.icc. |

Squatting Technique
UPDATE (2020/04/01): Since going to a gym is currently ill-advised and I do not
have weights at home, I have been practicing technique using body weight. In
order to get the intensity up, I have been doing Arithmetic Progression Squats
(APS), which are more commonly known as
"death by air squat"
. A nice feature of this workout is that the first few sets give time to warm up and
focus on perfecting technique. Also, the load on individual reps is low enough that
you can sense where you are over-underutilizing a muscle group before an injury
is imminent. I have not tried geometric progressions.
A friend of mine told me I was spending too much time learning how to squat rather than just doing it. They are probably right.
Unfortunately, I'd picked up the excellent
Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, and I was not to be deterred in learning the safest technique to improve strength. Here are some of my notes on squatting:
- lifter + barbell center-of-mass should remain over mid foot
- a lower bar allows for a more horizontal back at the bottom
- front squats exert the butt more and hamstrings less
- the bar should sit under the spine of the scapula
- effect of low-bar compared to high-bar squats:
- higher hamstring load
- more horizontal back angle
- more open knee angle
- movement path is similar to dead lift & power clean
- shoulder-width knees + 30° toes + knees out ⇒ groin stretch and activation
- squat depth: hips go below level with top of patellas
- exercise: no weight squat
- back should be about 45° at the bottom
- at the bottom, think hips up, not forward
- keep neck in natural alignment -- think of squeezing a tennis ball with chin
- eye-gaze: 4-5 feet in front of toes
- narrower hands ⇒ more posterior shoulder flexion and keeps thoracic spine extended + straight
- wrists: hands above bar. They do not carry weight
- tighten muscles before lifting from rack
- always face towards the rack -- forwards when re-racking
- take only one step back from the rack
This is an incomplete summary of the 64 pages(!) devoted to the squat. Which of these did you find intuitive? Which were surprising?

I'm just going to get straight to the point I'm trying to make without elaborating on the psychedelic effects of the drug too much...
I tripped literally every day, ocassionally skipping 1 or 2 days a week, for 4 months. With sporadic use ensuing over the next year and a half. Initial dosage was 1 bottle, which quickly escalated to 2 and 3 and eventually 5 a day. Tolerance to this substance is markedly notable and noticable.
Bad trips=none.
Philosophical personal insight value=great
Social compatibility=good at small doses; impossible at high doses
The overall effect of the drug is extremely euphoric, however induces fever-like symptoms: flushing/blushing, red ears, general sick feeling. Fear is a catalyst for a bad trip with any drug... Which I have learned from much experience with many drugs: LSD, mushrooms, 5-meo-amt, GHB, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy, cannabis, cocaine and a few others that I'm not going to take the time to recall. Basically I know what I'm talking about. Prolonged states of lucidity and pseudo OBE experiences are possible from DXM. Music is extremely enjoyable, especially in combination with cannabis, and seems to permeate the neurosomatic barrier giving me the feeling of a 'voyage' via music. With high doses of DXM activity is futile, lending to the possibility of a musically guided trip. Weather affects my mood with psychedelics and the same applies to DXM albeit a disassociative. Tripping while it is raining is an indescribable experience on DXM.
All this being said I have definitely felt the effects of DXM on my brain. As an experienced DXM user I have an 'electric' feeling post-trip that lasts for about half a day possibly longer. During this 'electric' period brain activity seems heightened, much like methamphetamine: learning, talking, enjoying life is easier. After the 'electric' period I gradually return to baseline and very very mild depression may occur occassionally.
Long term effects from repeated usage/abusage is said to be unknown. However, I know. Trouble finding words is a problem (I know what word I want, however, it is just beyond my grasp), periods of panic (flashbacks), anxiety (not so much anxious; just sweating palms, fast heartbeat), mood swings, memory loss and overall diminished brain functioning. Please note these are effects of extreme abusage of DXM, and these symptoms were not experienced from occasional usage. They can however become benign by enhance my 'spirit' and imprinting new behavior patterns on my brain through the use of psychedelics: LSD, Mushrooms. They may cause me to feel worse.
My general rule of psychedelics: if I feel good they will make me feel better; if I feel bad they will make me feel worse. They basically heighten whatever emotional state I am currently in, and my overall feeling of how my life is going.

Inline Flexbox Layout System
See repository on GitHub: https://github.com/SimonPadbury/Inline-Flexbox-Layout-System
For use in situations where you can’t add a stylesheet (or add to an existing stylesheet). E.g. where you only have access to the CMS editor.
This is easier and more useful than trying to fake a columnar layout using a table.
(Note: As you will see below, background colors and dashed borders have been added so that you can see what’s going on. These are not required.)
Each of the parent containers below have inline style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: stretch"
.

 . . .

 . . .

 . . .

- The
display: flex
enables the immediate child items to align beside each other. - The
flex-wrap: wrap
allows child items to wrap on to a new row (if required). - The
align-items: stretch
causes child items to stretch to the height of the parent container. - You can individually control the immediate child items. E.g. in this first example,
flex: 1
causes each them to expand equally to occupy the available container width.
Three equal-width child items, that will always remain inline
The child item width is automatically calculated by parent width ÷ number of child items.
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
Accomplishing “Responsive layout” without media queries
This is really simple to do. Child items with added min-width
can “wrap” to a new row on narrow viewports.
In this example below, the three child items all have min-width: 400px
(you can do whatever you want). Therefore at viewport width < (3 × 400px) = < 1200px, the third child item will wrap to a new row. And at viewport width < (2 × 400px) = < 800px, the second child item will wrap to a new row.
Reduce the width of your browser and you will see how this works in the example below.
style="flex: 1; min-width: 400px"
style="flex: 1; min-width: 400px"
style="flex: 1; min-width: 400px"
Note: The size and amount of content within the child items (e.g. your text and images) can also cause row-wrapping on narrow viewports. This is a good thing, because then your content doesn’t overflow horizontally beyond the width of the viewport.
Variable child item spanning
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 1"
style="flex: 2"
style="flex: 3"
Increasing the flex
causes flex items to be double-counted, triple-counted etc. in the immediate child width calculation.
Adding paddings as gutters
Negative margins on the parent container is also required, so that the content of the child items will be flush left and right.
style="flex: 1; padding: 0 1rem"
style="flex: 2; padding: 0 1rem"
style="flex: 3; padding: 0 1rem"

http://<fqdn-or-ip>:<port>/bridge/rest/AmazonEC2?Action=SetUserKeys&accesskey=<key>&secretkey=<key>SetUserKeys is an unauthorized REST call. A HTTP 200 result code is returned on success and a 401 on failure.
The following REST command must be used by a Cloud.com's EC2 service user to load their certificate into the service. No access via the SOAP API is possible until this step is performed. Also for this REST command to be successful the instructions in Section 1.1 must be performed first.
http://<fqdn-or-ip>:<port>/bridge/rest/AmazonEC2?Action=SetCertificate&AWSAccessKeyId=<Cloud.com API AccessKey>&cert=<pem encoded cert>SetCertificate is an authenticated REST call using the same authentication scheme as all other EC2 REST calls. This means that the following standard EC2 REST paramters must also be part of the request: Signature, SignatureMethod, Version, SignatureVersion, and Expires [3]. A HTTP 200 result code is returned on success and a 404 on failure.
An example of a PEM encoded X509 Certificate is [5]:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIICdzCCAeCgAwIBAgIGAPCRHu3UMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMFMxCzAJBgNVBAYT AlVTMRMwEQYDVQQKEwpBbWF6b24uY29tMQwwCgYDVQQLEwNBV1MxITAfBgNVBAMT GEFXUyBMaW1pdGVkLUFzc3VyYW5jZSBDQTAeFw0xMDA2MjMxODE4MTZaFw0xMTA2 MjMxODE4MTZaMFIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRMwEQYDVQQKEwpBbWF6b24uY29tMRcw FQYDVQQLEw5BV1MtRGV2ZWxvcGVyczEVMBMGA1UEAxMMZWZieDQ0eXF1d3E2MIGf MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCw+RO1QV7t5EbluyAAD11SoZ4ats5t DBSta/QB3G9T0y3p2gURrYMDYVJ1BZmyel/DuMANx6UG6Vw+0o0SXOS3mH8Yu/lO OOH9WxWiXulGMIrpPCiUpnWMrWhIlHu8mqLLhBx+5k4I92plMfH97BySunbv9zaf ZRKXX3cXIYbUMwIDAQABo1cwVTAOBgNVHQ8BAf8EBAMCBaAwFgYDVR0lAQH/BAww CgYIKwYBBQUHAwIwDAYDVR0TAQH/BAIwADAdBgNVHQ4EFgQUCzKwCQvocPYFki/9 NORZFTsjcZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQADgYEAXmIe6+XsNHYIiLGQO6dh8nvHHzDw 3sltNa7z6BSdNr7WDxpJg9oFUcddQVca1LZsjsqx6dIc1WxQUjPE9oOfSYqQZuMD /GOpWyXMb/oJ2MLI1Vp1ABKhHoHUJmPOrIou4UbCifMeD7MFZkezkKDqqH3jQMjA 4YDNkSWLnJ9xba8= -----END CERTIFICATE-----
To remove a previously loaded certificate the user can simply execute the following REST command.
http://<fqdn-or-ip>:<port>/bridge/rest/AmazonEC2?Action=DeleteCertificate&AWSAccessKeyId=<Cloud.com API AccessKey> where the same value for the 'AWSAccessKeyId' parameter as was used in a previous call to SetCertificate.DeleteCertificate is an authenticated REST call using the same authentication scheme (and having all the same required parameters) as all other EC2 REST calls. A HTTP 200 result code is returned on success and a 404 on failure.
http://<fqdn-or-ip>:<port>/bridge/services/AmazonEC2For REST access the endpoint is:
http://<fqdn-or-ip>:<port>/bridge/rest/AmazonEC2
This function maps to the Cloud.com's API "registerTemplate" function [2]. However the registerTemplate function requires the following additional parameters that are not present in the RegisterImage function:
format - the format for the template. Possible values include QCOW2, RAW, and VHD. osTypeId - the ID of the OS Type that best represents the OS of this template. zoneId - the ID of the zone the template is to be hosted on.These parameters must be provided for a successful registerTemplate call and thus a RegsiterImage call. To accomidate these values we have redefined the "architecture" parameter defined for RegisterImage. The Amazon defined valid values are: "i386 | x86_64" and it is of type xsd:string. Neither of these defined values has any meaning in the context of the Cloud.com API. The new definition of the architecture field is a three part value of the form: "<format>:<zoneName>:<osTypeName>", where ":" is the field delimitor. A valid example would be: "VHD:ZONE1:Centos 4.5". Cloud.com's EC2 code translates the "zoneName" value into a valid zoneId, and the "osTypeName" value into a matching osTypeId. In addition, whereas the architecture field is optional in Amazon's definition of RegisterImage, it is required in Cloud.com's modified version.
Another difference for the RegisterImage function concerns the use of the "imageLocation" parameter. As defined by Amazon [3]:
imageLocation - a full path to your AMI manifest in Amazon S3 storage.As defined for Cloud.com's EC2 implementation:
imageLocation - is a URL of where the template is hosted. Possible URL include http:// and https://
EC2's DescribeInstances Function
Only the following list of filters are currently supported:
availability-zone hypervisor image-id instance-id instance-type instance-state-code instance-state-name ip-address owner-id root-device-name
EC2's DescribeVolumes Function
Only the following list of filters are currently supported:
attachment.attach-time attachment.device attachment.instance-id availability-zone create-time size snapshot-id status volume-id
EC2's DescribeSnapshots Function
Only the following list of filters are currently supported:
owner-alias owner-id (here its the CloudStack API key) snapshot-id start-time status volume-id volume-size
EC2's DescribeSecurityGroups Function
Only the following list of filters are currently supported:
description group-id group-name ip-permission.cidr ip-permission.from-port ip-permission.to-port ip-permission.protocol owner-id

A tool to make it easier to build behavior trees for the Bot Testing Framework.
This tool was adapted from the existing Behavior3 Editor
Basic usage
- Drag nodes from the left sidebar, drag the node "handles" to connect nodes
- Press "a" to auto organize the tree
- Make new trees under "Project/New tree" or hover over "Trees" side bar divider
- You can drag the tree names just like other nodes to nest trees
- You must name one tree "Root" (the name of the tree is set via the title of the tree's root node)
- Shift+click to pan the view (or middle mouse button)
- Del key (fn+delete on a macbook) deletes a node
- Each node has details/instructions in its description
- Be sure to save via the menu icon or cntr+s or "Project/Save project"
- You can create custom action nodes via "Project/New node" or the Nodes sidebar divider. They should have a unique name, the "actions" category, and a title in the same format as the generic function action.
- See mix bots.extract_actions on how to import custom actions from your code base.
- Using "<key_name>" in a node's title will render the value for that property's key
- You can use "templates" in titles and properties to reference properties on the tree's root node. Templates look like {{key_name}}.


Tom is a 22 year old mechanical engineering student at Saginaw Valley State University. He has a part time job in a furniture shop that helps pay for what student loans don't and it gives him some spending money as well. He has close friends but he cant always see them in person due to his busy schedule. One of his favorite ways to stay in touch with his friends is to play video games with his friends on PC and talk to them on Skype. He is a fan of cooperative games, shooters and RPGs, and uses Steam to purchase many of his games because of the convenience and low prices. Aside from socializing Tom also enjoys video games because they help him unwind and relax after a busy day of studying or work. Tom is a neat person that likes to have things organized and despite being a PC gamer is not extremely tech savvy.


The Unpaywall dataset
You can download the entire dataset behind Unpaywall; it's free for noncommercial use. It's pretty unwieldy at 100M rows, so unless you legit need the whole thing for your use case, you'll probably be better served by one of the lightweight alternatives.
To download the dataset, please fill out this form and we'll send you a URL where you can get the data. You can read the, dataset release notes here. You can learn more about Unpaywall's data here.
If you want to use the dataset for commercial purposes, check out our SLA program. As part of that, we can help you set up a mirror database that allows you to keep an always-current version of Unpaywall's data hosted on your own servers.


Binary search
Binary search is an algorithm that is used to efficiently search for an element in a sorted list. As covered in the section on arrays, searching through an array is a linear-time operation. However, if the array is sorted and we need to find out if it contains a particular element, we can improve this running time. Here's how.
The main idea
Suppose we have the following array of integers, sorted in ascending order: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
.
We want to find out if the array contains the element 1. We can calculate the midpoint of the array
by calculating the midpoint of the lowest and highest indices. This gives us
(we floor the result).
Next, we compare the element at index 2 to the desired value. Since it's greater than the desired value, we can search for the value in the lower half of the array. That is, we can search all the elements to the left of the midpoint.
We calculate a new midpoint in this new sub-array: . Since the value at this new midpoint is lower than the desired value, we increase the value of the current low index, so that we search only the elements on the right of the midpoint. The new midpoint is and the value at that midpoint is the desired value, so we return it. Let's have a look at the code.
Implementation
Below is the implementation of the binary search method.
In this case, the input to the method is a sorted array of int
s
along with the value to find in the array.
Time complexity
What's the time complexity of this algorithm? The first few lines all take constant time to execute. The real
work happens in the while
loop. So the question is:
How many times does the while
loop execute?
Suppose the input array has size . In the worst case, where
element
doesn't exist in the array,
the while
loop will terminate when the
variable low
is greater than the variable high
.
This occurs when the sorted subarray that we're inspecting has no more elements in it.
On each iteration of the while
loop, we halve the size of the
sorted subarray. In the example above, the original array has length six. Then this is halved to become three.
Then this is halved once more to become one.
The first iteration of the while
loop looks through an array
of size
.
The next iteration looks through an array of size
.
The next looks through an array of size
.
This continues until the array has size 1. So the number of iterations is the number of times
can be halved until we reach 1. Another way of expressing this is
.
Therefore, the worst-case running
time of the algorithm is logarithmic with respect to the input array size. That is, the algorithm has a
running time.
Key takeaways
Any time you need to scan through a sorted list, consider using binary search. If the list is small, binary search might not seem like a massive improvement over doing a linear scan, but as the list size grows, a logarithmic running time begins to seriously outperform a linear one.

Maximum a Posteriori Estimation (MAP)
Generally, MAP is a particular extension of MLE where we take in account a biased assumption of data, called prior knowledge. Specifically Bayes’ theorem (or Bayes’ rule) allows us to incorporate prior probability as follows
In which, $P(D|\theta)$ is the likelihood, $P(\theta)$ is the prior probability, $P(D)$ is the marginal likelihood, and $P(\theta|D)$ is the posteriori likelihood.
The principle of MAP is to estimate $\theta$ that maximise the posteriori likelihood $P(\theta)$. Thus,
Notice that the denominator $P(D)$ is independent of $\theta$. Therefore
By assuming attributes $X_{1}, X_{2}, …, X_{n}$ are independent of each other, we have

Installation of R and Add-on Packages
-
Install R for your operating system from CRAN.
-
Install RStudio from RStudio.
-
Install CRAN Packages from R console like this:
r
install.packages(c("pkg1", "pkg2"))
install.packages("pkg.zip", repos=NULL)
- Install Bioconductor packages as follows:
r
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
library(BiocInstaller)
BiocVersion()
biocLite()
biocLite(c("pkg1", "pkg2"))
- For more details consult the Bioc Install page
and BiocInstaller package.
Getting Around
Startup and Closing Behavior
-
Starting R:
The R GUI versions, including RStudio, under Windows and Mac OS X can be
opened by double-clicking their icons. Alternatively, one can start it by
typing R
in a terminal (default under Linux).
-
Startup/Closing Behavior:
The R environment is controlled by hidden files in the startup directory:
.RData
, .Rhistory
and .Rprofile
(optional).
-
Closing R:
r
q()
Save workspace image? [y/n/c]:
-
Note:
When responding with y
, then the entire R workspace will be written to
the .RData
file which can become very large. Often it is sufficient to just
save an analysis protocol in an R source file. This way one can quickly
regenerate all data sets and objects.
Navigating directories
Create an object with the assignment operator <-
or =
r
object <- ...
List objects in current R session
r
ls()
Return content of current working directory
r
dir()
Return path of current working directory
r
getwd()
Change current working directory
r
setwd("/home/user")

Find Long Tail Keywords Using Google Analytics
I recently discovered HitTail, an awesome service for discovering long tail keywords to maximize SEO.
HitTail uses a proprietary alogrithm for identifying keywords used in search terms which you should target. After using the service for about a week, I wanted to understand how the algorithm worked. I tumbled down the rabbit hole and learned crazy amounts along the way.
Long Tail Keywords
In Search Engine Optimization (SEO) there are two types of keywords. Head Terms and Long Tail keywords. Head terms are single keywords that many people target. An example of a head term would be detergent. Examples of long tail keywords would be Tough Stain Detergent, Good for the Environment Detergent, and Mild Gentle on Skin Detergent.
Long tail keywords have many advantages:
Higher conversion rates - Since the user is more specific in their search terms they are more qualified. A user searching for boots is less likely to purchase compared to a user searching for mid-calf black boots with laces.
The majority of search traffic is long tail - Long tail searches make up 70% of search traffic. However, I couldn't find a clear definition as to when long tail started and head terms ended.
Less competitive - Sites constantly fight for control of head terms such as Detergent. Long tail keywords, because they are more specific, have less competition.
Long Tail helps you capture head terms - Search engines constantly improve their methods for indexing sites to deliver relevant content to the search being performed. Focusing on long tail keywords can help you capture head terms because you are writing more content, across your site, which all contain head terms.
What HitTail does
According HitTail's site, "HitTail tells you, in real-time, the most promising organic keywords you should target based on your existing traffic." and is "Guaranteed to increase your organic search traffic"
I really don't care about the "real-time" aspect of the service. What I did want was a way to identify topics I should write about based on what search terms users were using to find my site. This would help me identify posts I could write for additional learning.
Remember, I'm cheap and a service has to be incredible for me to pay for it. I assumed Google Analytics had the same data HitTail was using to determine what long tail keywords I should focus on. So, how could I generate a report in Google Analytics which has the same function as HitTail.
Identifying the Keywords
The first thing I did was grab what HitTail was already suggesting for me. Once I had this list, I began searching through Traffic Sources -> Search Engine Optimization -> Queries to identify some common thread among them.
It was interesting that not all of HitTail's suggestions were in Google Analytics. This may be enough for people with larger sites to pay for the service.
Here is a breakdown of the suggested keywords I found in Google Analtyics:
| Query | Impressions | Clicks | Average Position | CTR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fear of rejection | 170 | 5 | 68 | 2.94% | |
| market size | 170 | 5 | 140 | 2.94% | |
| types of personalities | 70 | 5 | 58 | 7.14% | |
| different personalities | 500 | 16 | 30 | 3.20% | |
| cross site scripting | 90 | 5 | 210 | 5.56% | |
| different personality | 900 | 12 | 45 | 1.33% | |
| types of personality | 60 | 5 | 120 | 8.33% |
My site gets around 400 hits a day. I don't know if the same results would apply to a larger site.
Things I noticed:
- Keyword suggestions of either 2 or 3 keywords.
- Average Position was between 30 and 250.
- Click-Through-Rate were all greater than 1.33%.
- Impressions greater than 60.
Creating a Google Analytics Report
All of the things I noticed seemed to make logical sense. I decided to write a report to filter all of the search queries for the data shown above.
I decided on the following filters:
- Clicks Great Than 4
- Average Position Less than 250 and greater than 29.
- CTR greater than 1.5%.
I decided to fudge the Click-Through-Rate just a bit, but everything else I left alone. This part was simple through the "Advanced Search" section on the Queries Report.
Once I discovered this section, it was easy to create a similar report. I entered all of the filters I decided on.
I needed to filter the results one more level by only focusing on search terms of at least 2 words. This was challenging until I figured out I could create filters with regular expressions. I created a regular expressions against the search query with the following:
^([^ ]+ ){1,50}[^ ]+$
This filters keywords which have between 1 and 50 spaces in them. This removes all of the "single word" keywords used for head terms. Bam!
Results
Although you still need to sift through the terms to identify things to write about, it is pretty awesome to have this report at my finger tips. I don't know whether the report will be as effective as just using a service like HitTail, but it is a start. I will try it for a while and see if it lives up to what I expect.

he A.H. Wheeler stall on platform no. 5 of Old Delhi Railway Station is well stocked with books: cookbooks, photography books, English-speaking books. Vastu, astrology, horoscope guides. News magazines, fashion magazines, magazines for competitive exams. Prominently displayed on front shelves are works from master thriller writers such as Sidney Sheldon, Dan Brown, and novellas by Chetan Bhagat and his ilk. Tucked on a side are piles of thick, compact novels. Their outlandish Hindi titles — Murda no. 13, Qatil Kaun, Bhookha Sher — screaming for attention. These books, with their low-quality paper, juicy covers, and low prices are as much a part of nostalgia of Indian travellers, as A.H. Wheeler, the British-era railway bookstall, itself.
Printed on grainy pulp and packaged in provocative, arty covers, these paperbacks were the heroes of Indian travellers in the 1970s-80s. Full of mind-bending twists, and sprinkled with provocative dialogues and titillating scenes — much like Bollywood potboilers — they too had their own genuflecting devotees. These novels came to be known by the paper they were printed on (pulp: lugdi), and the highbrowed elite litterateurs gave the genre the title ‘pulp literature’.

Famous Authors
Though scorned by literary types, millions of readers across the Hindi belt devoured pulp fiction with little discernment or care for literary quality. Those who have witnessed its glory days still seem overtaken by its allure. Among them is Vishi Sinha, a voracious reader of these novels, and also the manager of Surendra Mohan Pathak fan club in Delhi. “Those days it was pretty common to walk into a railway compartment and find every other person immersed in these novels,” he recalls.
The dull story of pre-reforms India can be distilled through pulp fiction. In the days before satellite TV, the evocative romanticism and excitement in these novels pervaded the lives of middle and lower-middle classes. Men - mostly men - drew excitement from these stories, and made them staunch partners on mofussil train journeys.  For many, especially in the back of beyond, only pulp fiction provided the roller-coaster ride, the shakes and jerks emanating from printed words sending a frisson through their cheerless lives.

An Interview
The Business of Pulp
The economics of these books was simple: Businesses were run from modest offices, books were printed on low-quality paper, scripts submitted by authors were proofread and sent for printing. Editors, and other paraphernalia associated with big publishing houses, were ignored to cut costs. Books were priced as low as Rs 8 during the 70s, to Rs 20-30 in the 90s. Sale-points were strategically chosen on or near railway and bus stations — making them well in reach of passengers seeking to dispel their boredom during long, dreary journeys. They could also be bartered for a new novel at half the price. “It was common for people to pick a novel at one station, finish it during the journey, and exchange it for a new one at the end point,” Sinha adds. The regular flow of novels ensured the reader kept moving from one book to another.
In its prime, the pulp fiction industry had about 60 publishers, centred mostly in Meerut. It wasn’t unusual for a publisher to publish 10 new titles a month, taking the annual tally to more than 100 books. With about 60 active publishers, readers were spoilt for choice with approximately 60,000 new titles a year.
If books were churned out in assembly-line, they were consumed equally systematically. A new book from established authors evoked reader frenzy quite unheard of in literary circuits. Print ads and radio jingles built the hype around upcoming novels, and people queued up to buy them. Books were massively pre-booked, and sometimes the supply fell short of demand. Some of the popular novels of the time were also adapted in movies.

Popular books & their stories
Among the 100-odd authors writing in the genre, a few gained immense popularity and fan following. Most well-known among them were Surendra Mohan Pathak, Ved Prakash Sharma, Ranu, Gulshan Nanda, Parashuram Sharma, Anil Mohan and Colonel Ranjit, the last one a pseudonym. While most authors wrote crime thriller novels — hugely popular among men — Ranu, Gulshan Nanda and Raj Kamal gained a fan-following among women and college students for their stories on social topics.
Authors too churned out books at an amazing rate, with widely-read ones such as Surendra Mohan Pathak and Ved Prakash Sharma releasing one every month. Famously, Pathak’s Paisath Lakh Ki Dakaity published in the 1970s had pre-booking orders in thousands. Its first print run of more than 1 lakh copies flew off the shelves within the first few days of its release. Reportedly, the book has sold more than 2.5 million copies and has had 21 print runs since it was first published.
While big names earned more money, publishers would pay up to Rs 10,000 per book to even new writers, such was the demand.
That’s the story of the 1970s and 80s. The era of Hindi pulp fiction. Unfortunately, it was short-lived.
 Kinky titles and lurid storytelling made it literature’s stepchild. Though bought and sold in millions, these books mainly remained hidden away by their owners because of their lowbrow content.
With reforms of the 90s came cable TV, internet, mobiles, and mesmerising malls. The middle and lower classes embraced it with gusto. And in its shadow began the doom of pulp fiction.
Book publishers and sellers who saw lakhs of copies flying off the shelves witnessed a drop in sales for the first time. By the end of 90s, they had started losing readers to unlikely competition: TV and mobile phones.
As journeys became shorter, travellers chose the company of mobile phones over books. At home, daily soaps on television became the preferred choice to combat boredom. The masala tag associated with pulp fiction also brought its doom.
The second big blow came in the form of authors such as Chetan Bhagat, who with slapdash English, were lapped up by aspirational Indians who maintained their distance from literary English books. Even in small cities and towns, English mass-market books started overshadowing their somewhat less-reputed Hindi peers.
The current scenario for the industry is very gloomy. Booksellers, once inundated with pre-booking orders, are struggling to sell even 50 books a month. In the early 1990s, 30,000 copies wasn’t a big number for even average writers, now their sales barely touch 2,000. With publishers moving to digitally-altered covers to save money, the affiliated book-cover design industry has entirely crumbled.
In peak years, more than 35 pulp fiction publishers operated from Meerut alone. In 2017, there are just two. One among those is Ravi Pocket Books. Sitting in his cramped office in a dusty bylane of Hari Nagar, Manish Jain, owner of the 50-year-old publishing house accepts solemnly, “The industry is taking its last breath. We have started publishing other genres to stay afloat.” Stacks of ready-to-despatch academic and vastu books affirm his story.
Author Surendra Mohan Pathak, the last of the leading writers of the genre, blames the malpractices in the publishing industry. “Publishers prepared an army of ghost writers to churn out books as in assembly-line production. It became more about quantity that quality. And it couldn’t keep up with the changing modes of entertainment,” he says.
Pathak, however, is much better placed than his peers. With about 300 books in his kitty and a career spanning 50-plus years, he was approached by publishing giant HarperCollins with the intention of tapping the Hindi mass market. In the last four years, his books have been published by HC as well as Westland. A few of them have also been translated into English. With this has come the transition from cheap pulp to white paper, and also a bigger price tag. One of his recent books, The Colaba Conspiracy (published by HC), was priced Rs 135, making him out of reach of the lower-middle class reader who once found solace in the roller-coaster ride of his crime-thrillers.
It’s unlikely the fading genre will see another writer of Pathak’s stature. Many old writers have passed away, and there are hardly any new authors to take that space. The few who emerge are at times forced to share the publishing cost. Jain says, “A new Pathak novel would still sell, but it takes a lot of time for readers to accept a new writer. So, publishers like us are not willing to risk resources for new authors.” This leaves little incentive for new writers to join the industry.
“Hindi pulp fiction is taking its last breath. It’s just a matter of time before the industry collapses.”

The Plummeting Pulp Fiction Industry
The Struggle for Survival
Facing book publishers and sellers is the challenge of staying afloat. As sales at brick-and-mortar stores fall, some are even exploring the internet as an avenue. Ravi Pocket Books is about to launch an app called Book Madari as a common sale point for books of various genres, including novels. Publishers in Meerut who have stopped publishing pulp fiction have moved on to the more flourishing business of competitive exam books. The ones who are still active have branched out to other in-demand genres.
While most existing publishers have shut shop, a few new entrepreneurs have done their bit to revive the crime-fiction genre. One such venture is Sooraj Pocket Books. The publication, operating from Mumbai, has re-published works of popular writer Ibn-i-Safi — the man credited with establishing the base for detective stories in India and Pakistan.
Though keen to tap the Hindi market, SPB’s owner Shubhanand is careful to mention that they have retained the crime-thriller nature of stories, not the content or quality of ‘pulp literature’. “We publish our books on white paper. Readers are also aspirational investors, they don’t want to be seen with books printed on pulp paper,” he says. Books from SPB’s stable are mainly available online.
The transition from cheap pulp to costlier white paper has also taken these books from roadside stalls to online stores and bigger bookshops. This also means increased costing, making competition difficult for the traditional publisher who made money by printing these books on cheap paper.
As of now, the traditional pulp fiction publisher is staring at an uncertain future, but it may be some time before the genre-defining crime thriller novels fade into oblivion.
Meerut, the hub of pulp fiction
Stacks of Hindi novels fill up the cramped godown of Ravi Pocket Books, one of the two remaining pulp publishers in Meerut. Back in the ‘80s, RPB used to publish 125 new titles a year. Now, it is down to 8
Competitive exam books being unpacked at Chawla Book Depot. This four-decade-old shop near Meerut bus stand still stocks pulp fiction. But, it’s being edged out by other genres
A man looks at newly stacked piles of motivational books at a publisher’s warehouse in Meerut. Falling novel sales have forced many pulp fiction publishers to branch out to other categories
Pulp fiction novels were mainly bought and sold on railway and bus stations. As mobile phones become the new travel buddies, novel sales have fallen drastically even on A.H. Wheeler stalls

Meerut, the hub of pulp fiction


When I think of the times in my life where I been the happiest or the proudest, I feel a certain way that can be descrived with words. No matter who we are or where we come from, its always possible to live a good life. It possible to separte ourselves from the things that deviate our minds from what makes us feel good.
I looked through a list of values and looking through the list, I felt identified by the values above. For each value that I chose, I felt certain feeling as if my mind would travel through memories and found connections that made me re-live certain emmotions. If I rate these values from a 1-to-5 scale on how close I live to these values in my daily life, I would say 4 even though it may vary from time to time.
As I was look looking though the whole list of values from which I chose the above, I saw a few that made me feel negative emotions like sadness or discourage. The values above are a representation of how I feel or the things that I feel identified with the most. The same way that by reading those words that represent an idea or a feeling that make us feel certain emotions, emotions can arise when we read or hear things that remind us of something negative about.
Some days for whatever reason we might feel negative about ourselves or about our surroundings. Somtimes we dont feel accepted or in connection with others. This can happen very often to some people and rearely for others. I wrote about stereotype threat in my last blog. I expalined about how when we are reminded of something that we might feel negative about, we become influenced by it. The best way to avoing feeling the threat is by lifting ourselves and remind us about those things that make us feel good. The same way something can put us down, something else can recover the stability in us.

All economic questions arise because we want more than we can get
+ what does that mean?
+ Example: Time
Our inability to satisfy all our wants is called scarcity
Economics is the social science that studies the choices that individuals, businesses, governments, and entire societies make as they cope with scarcity and the incentives that influence and reconcile those choices.
Economics divides in to main parts:
+ Microeconomics (micro- small)
+ Macroeconomics (macro- large)
Two big questions summarize the scope of economics:
+ How do choices end up determining what, how and for whom goods and services get produced?
+ When do choices made in the pursuits of self-interest also promote the social interest?
What, How, and For Whom?
goods and services are the objects that people value and produce to satisfy human wants
What is being produced
+ Influenced by choices that people made in the past
+ Why did people in China make different choices than people in Canada?
Goods and services are produced by using productive resources that economists call factors of production
Factors of production are grouped into four categories:
+ Land
+ Labour
+ Capital
+ Entrepreneurship
Who gets the goods and services depends on the incomes that people earn
+ Land earns rent
+ Labour earns wages
+ Capital earns interest
+ Entrepreneurship earns profit

Templates are the only way to create images. They are materialized by a zip file contining the Pharo image and all its associated file.
For example, the Pharo 8 official template is composed of:
- the sources file: Pharo8.0-32bit-278304f.sources
- the image: Pharo8.0-SNAPSHOT-64bit-278304f.image
- the changes file: Pharo8.0-SNAPSHOT-64bit-278304f.changes
- the pharo version number file (used by Pharo Launcher if present): pharo.version
Template categories
- Official distributions : list of templates officialy supported by Pharo. You will find here latest Pharo images (development, stabl, old stable) and Moose images.
- Pharo Mooc: convenient category for newcomers to discover Pharo. It contains the MOOC image needed for the practical part of the MOOC.
- Deprecated distributions: old Pharo and Moose images version (since Pharo 2.0)
- Pharo Contribution Jenkins: This category represents jobs available on the Jenkins server https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution. If the job provides a zip file as artefact, it will be used as a template to create an image.
- Moose Jenkins: This category represents jobs available on the Jenkins server https://ci.inria.fr/moose. If the job provides a zip file as artefact, it will be used as a template to create an image.
- Pharo xx (stable): all versions of the current stable Pharo version
- Pharo xx (development version): all versions of the current development Pharo version
- Templates: This category contains templates that are available locally (i.e. without network connection). By default, it only contains the current Pharo stable image that is shipped with Pharo Launcher. Once you start downloading some templates, they are cached in this category for further reuse. Warning: if the template is updated on the server, the cached version will NOT be invalidated, so local and server version of the template will differ.
There are different kind of categories:
- Fixed URL: Represent a list of templates that is defined at construction time. The interesting property of this group is that is does not require the network to be shown. The network is only needed to actually download a template.
- HTTP listing: Represent a list of templates as given by an HTML webpage.
<a href="*.zip">
are searched in the webpage. You can also provide a regular expression to filter files. - Jenkins server: group of templates provided by a Jenkins server. I use Jenkins' JSON API to get the data from the server.
- Cache: special group taking care of caching locally downloaded templates from other template categories.
Create your own template
You can create your own templates from Pharo Launcher. From any image in the image list, right-click and select Create template
or Create template and delete image
. It will create a zip file from the selected image and put it in the Templates category under the provided name.
Create your own list of template categories
Pharo already provides a wide range of templates but you can provide your own categories. It is useful to add templates that are private (e.g. private jenkins instance) or only of interest for you. It is doable thanks to the mysources.list
file located in the Pharo folder. If present, this file defines additional template sources to the official list of templates. At this time, there is no UI to add them but you can take inspiration from the following examples.
Warning: take care to separate each template category by a comma. All categories should be enclosed inside []
.
Here is an example of a mysources.list
file:
[
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #HttpListing,
#name : 'User-defined http listing',
#url : 'http://myserver.org/myimages/'
},
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #JenkinsServer,
#name : 'My Jenkins server',
#url : 'https://jenkins.mycompany.org',
#username : 'john',
#password: 'doefkwoiekfdoekdw2302ek349039e'
}
]
Add a Jenkin server
You can declare your own Jenkins server by providing its URL and using the #JenkinsServer type.
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #JenkinsServer,
#name : 'Another Jenkins server',
#url : 'https://ci.inria.fr/moose/'
}
The name will be displayed as the template category. Url will be used to determine Jenkins API to query to get jobs, builds, runs, etc.
You can alse declare a private Jenkins server by providing a secure (i.e. using https protocol) URL to access it, a username and its associated token.
We advise you to generate an API token and not to use directly your password. See https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/07/02/new-api-token-system/ for more information.
The token has to be specified in the password
entry.
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #JenkinsServer,
#name : 'My Jenkins server',
#url : 'https://jenkins.mycompany.org',
#username : 'john',
#password : 'doefkwoiekfdoekdw2302ek349039e'
}
Add a group from an URL (HTPP listing)
An easy way to add a template category is the HTTP listing. You just provide the category name and a URL. Then the category will see all Zip files under this URL as a template available for Pharo Launcher. Here is an example:
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #HttpListing,
#name : 'Http listing example',
#url : 'http://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/1.9.2/'
}
If needed, you can specify a filter pattern to exclude some files to be considered as templates. Here is an example:
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #HttpListing,
#name : 'Pharo 7.0 (development version)',
#url : 'https://files.pharo.org/image/70/',
#filterPattern : 'href="(Pharo-?7.0.0-(alpha|rc\\d+).build.[^"]*.zip)"'
}
filterPattern is given as parameter to RxParser>>#parse:
. The filter pattern must have parenthesis because this is what we want to extract for each match. For more information on the regex, see Pharo by example book, regex chapter.
You can also specify a server protected by a login / password as following:
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #HttpListing,
#name : 'My main images',
#url : 'https://intranet.mycompany.org/files',
#username : 'john',
#password : 'Doe!'
}
Add a group with individual URL templates
It is also possible to create a group that will contain individual URL templates. The group name will be the template category name.
Each Template you declare in this group should be of type #URL. A template basically has a name and a URL to the template. You can also specify URLs protected by a password with the #username and #password keywords.
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #URLGroup,
#name : 'My main images',
#templates : [
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #URL,
#name : 'MyProject2',
#url : 'https://www.mycompany.org/downloads/project2.zip'
},
PhLTemplateSource {
#type : #URL,
#name : 'MyProject1 from private',
#url : 'https://intranet.mycompany.org/files/project1.zip',
#username : 'john',
#password : 'Doe!'
}
]
}


Google Stadia launch lineup only has 12 games
by Lewis WhiteGoogle Stadia’s launch lineup has been revealed and, well, Stadia is only launching with twelve games.
After months of hype surrounding Google’s upcoming video game streaming service, the product’s closely-arriving launch seems rather flaccid.
Launching on November 19th, Stadia users will only have access to the following titles:
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Destiny 2: The Collection
- GYLT
- Just Dance 2020
- Kind
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Thumper
- Tomb Raider
- Rise of theTomb Raider
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider
- Samurai Shodown
With most of these titles already available on numerous physical consoles – Just Dance is available on the ruddy Wii – the lineup undeniably falls flat. Thoughts of the infamous Nintendo Wii U come to mind, a system that mostly launched with re-releases. However, that launched with more games.
Google has also stated that only 14 additional games will be available on the service by the end of 2019. Those games are:
- Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle
- Borderlands 3
- Darksiders Genesis
- Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
- Farming Simulator 19
- Final Fantasy 15
- Football Manager 2020
- Ghost Recon Breakpoint (lol)
- Grid
- Metro Exodus
- NBA 2K20
- Rage 2
- Trials Rising
- Wolfenstein: Youngblood
“We’re launching Stadia with 12 carefully-chosen games on day one, and an additional 14 will be available by the end of the year,” Google states. “There’s something for everyone here: a library of superb, critically-acclaimed titles spanning multiple genres and age ratings.”


In brief, if the data is not captured in Google-Lims we are not creating backups. Positive / negative control runs are also excluded.
Primary Data Backup
Find out which FASTQ data sets are missing on s3. This is only a comparison of the runfolder and FASTQ information; if for some reason a sample is just missing parts of the data (e.g., R2
is not present) we would not detect the issue. We are also not making any guarantees about data corruption.
[1] TRUE
Some basic sanity checks:
# Any runs completely missing from s3?
run_list <- unique(google$illumina_id)
run_list[!run_list %in% unique(s3_df$illumina_id)]
character(0)
# Checking individual FASTQs. Limit to successful runs captured in Google-LIMS (argh...)
s3_fastq <- s3_df %>%
filter(str_detect(filename, '.fastq.gz$')) %>% # FASTQ files only
mutate(size = as.numeric(size)) %>% # For filtering by file size
filter(illumina_id %in% run_list) %>% # Only those we captured on Google
mutate(filename = gsub('_', '-', filename)) %>% # Unify hyphens
mutate(filename = gsub('-R.-001.fastq.gz', '', filename)) %>% # Ignore R1/R2
mutate(filename = gsub('-I.-001.fastq.gz', '', filename)) %>% # Ignore Index
mutate(filename = gsub('-R..fastq.gz', '', filename)) %>% # Likewise for those with missing lane
mutate(filename = gsub('-I..fastq.gz', '', filename)) %>% # Ignore Index
mutate(filename = gsub('-L\\d+$', '', filename)) %>% # Ignore lanes
mutate(filename = gsub('-S\\d+$', '', filename)) %>% # Strip `Snn` identifier
select(illumina_id, filename) %>%
distinct() %>%
mutate(composite = paste(illumina_id, filename, sep='#')) # Create composite key for merging
# Quick comparison
summary(s3_fastq$filename %in% google$filename)
Mode FALSE TRUE
logical 138 840
summary(google$filename %in% s3_fastq$filename)
Mode TRUE
logical 931
This should be empty, i.e., all FASTQ files tracked in the spreadsheet are found in the S3 FASTQ filename list. If not, the next step explores what is missing:
google %>%
select(illumina_id, filename, composite) %>%
filter(!google$filename %in% s3_fastq$filename) %>%
kable()
# Keep a record to send around
missing <- merged[!google$filename %in% s3_fastq$filename, ]
tm <- as.POSIXlt(Sys.time(), "UTC", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
timestamp <- strftime(tm , "%Y-%m-%dT%H%M")
write.table(missing,
file = here::here('output', paste0(timestamp, '_missingFASTQ.csv')),
row.names = FALSE,
col.names = TRUE,
quote = FALSE,
sep = ',')
# Trouble shoot specific runs
toCheck <- '170519_A00121_0011_AH23HJDMXX'
s3_fastq %>%
filter(illumina_id == toCheck) %>%
kable()
google %>%
filter(runname == toCheck) %>%
kable() %>%
kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover"), full_width = F)
Secondary Data Backup
If we have results
they should be sync’d with S3. Get data stored in the secondary / results bucket:
[1] TRUE
Standard bcbio results folders should be present on S3:
# Use the Google-Lims result path to look up target directory
results <- google %>%
mutate(results = ifelse(results == 'n/a', '-', results)) %>%
filter(results != '-') %>%
filter(str_detect(results, 'Results/')) %>% # No Local, Transient results
select(run, project, results) %>%
mutate(timestamp = basename(results)) %>%
distinct()
results %>%
left_join(s3_df, by=c('project', 'timestamp')) %>%
filter(is.na(filename)) %>%
kable() %>%
kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover"), full_width = F)

Good enough. Given that we automated sample naming only halfway into 2018 and samples are being re-used across runs there isn’t any sane way to match Google-Lims sample_id
s with the S3 filenames.
Safe-to-delete
What runs had a) all data processed, b) FASTQs in Glacier, and c) results on S3?

ERASERHEAD (1974) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1997 Ted Prigge
Writer/Director: David Lynch Starring: Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near
I'm not the most intelligent person on the face of the earth, or anywhere near to it, I admit. Maybe that accounts for why when I don't understand a movie, I don't immeadiately jump to the conclusion that IT'S the one confused, or that it's just crap. Or maybe I'm just a nice guy or something.
But, anyway, David Lynch's first film, "Eraserhead," is a film combined of scenes that individually make almost no sense the first billion times. And even entire parts of it (the whole spiel about the baby) make almost no real sense, and may never. But as a whole, this film gives off mood, and perhaps even a message, which may be totally different for each person. While "Lost Highway" was ambiguous in that annoying way, "Eraserhead" is ambiguous in that magnificent way.
Don't ask me what this film is really about. There is no one sentence that could describe this film. As much as I can understand, it deals with a very depressed man named Henry Spencer (played by the recently deceased Jack Nance), who lives in what seems to be a post-apocalyptic future of sorts.  And it's his. This is only the first 30 minutes of the film.
Soon Henry is married to this girl, living in his crappy and claustrophobic apartment with this...thing, which is like a monster baby.  After awhile, his new wife has left him with the baby, and we start to see Henry go gradually insane, although we start to suspect that from the first time we see him.
Henry Spencer is one of the most interesting of film characters. Kind of in between of sincere and bizarre, he almost willfully accepts taking care of the baby when its mother up and leaves it, for no other reason than it's making a lot of annoying noise (which it is). And he is equipped with hair that seems to stretch towards the sky, hinting that he is reaching for heaven, and also that he might be in some kind of personalized hell.
As I said, this film is highly ambiguous. That is an understatement. Of all the films I've ever seen, this film is one of the top five (if not the most) ambiguous films ever made. Of course, the other four are probably Lynch films too. This flick gives us numerous unsettling images, scenes, and characters, which we are to figure out on our own. Lynch is not up for spoon-feeding us what he thinks are his takes on everything. Watching this film is like negotiated viewing: he gives us only partial information, and we are to make our own assumptions or explanations for it. This makes "Eraserhead" one of the more interesting of films to watch.
So what is my take on it? Well, I've only viewed it once, but what I got out of it was that the film is about the inability to escape from reality, which can be hellish or heavenly - it's all how you view things.  There is also a bit about a girl inside a radiator who sings about heaven, but is in a radiator, which seems to be hell. At the end, he has grasped the girl in the radiator, and has a big smile on his face, as he seems to be enjoying life. Or maybe I looked way too much into it.
Although I'm not a huge fan of Lynch (I didn't like "Blue Velvet," "Dune," and "The Lost Highway," and only saw a bit at the end of "The Elephant Man," which I liked), I will agree that he is one of the most intereseting directors. And I actually loved "Eraserhead." Granted, it's not one of my all-time favorite movies, like "The Graduate" or "Annie Hall," but it's a fantastically interesting film, which offers so much to look into, and decipher for yourself.
