A review of the book "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis (New York, Vintage, 1991). Review by Harvey Karten<EMAIL_ADDRESS>An article on the rich and super-rich in the business section of a recent New York Times shows that the number of rich people in the U.S. has grown dramatically since the 1980s, when the Reagan administration sanctified the accumulation of wealth. In 1983, for example, only 46,500 households had a net worth of $10 million or more. The figure now is 350,000. Rex Golding is one of the individuals cited by journalist Laura M. Hoolson in the March 3 edition of the newspaper. Though he controls assets of over $10 million, he gripes, "My 6-year-old is starting to say things like, 'their house if bigger.'" There is simply no end to the compulsion of large numbers of Americans to make money.
Is this a bad thing? Probably. Think of one of the most prominent slogans of the 1980s, "Die, yuppie scum!" Why the antagonism of so many to young urban professionals? Envy cannot be ruled out. Nor are the sloganeers distressed about those among the rich who have an attitude of modesty. The target of the expression is groups of our residents who make their money exchanging paper rather than contributing concrete goods (as engineers, construction workers, and factories do) and who are so self-involved and absorbed in spending their ill-gotten loot on luxury goods that they are spiritually dead.
With his third novel "American Psycho"--now adapted for an April 14 opening as a Lions Gate movie starring Christian Bale--Bret Easton Ellis focuses on a 26-year-old serial killer, Patrick Bateman, an investment banker whose yuppie friends are so self-absorbed, so wrapped up in their accumulation of designer clothing and dinners in high-priced, trendy restaurants, that they ignore Bateman's confessions of his multiple crimes against women and the homeless. The novel describes Bateman's acts of torment and torture so graphically that the book was roundly denounced by feminists and moralists as vacant pornography designed exclusively to titillate the lowest elements of a book-reading society. At the same time, the novel has been praised by other feminists and moralists as a work designed to inform its readers of a dangerous spiritual emptiness in our overly materialistic country.
The author is no stranger to commentary of this sort. One of his previous novels, "The Rules of Attraction," is about the sexual posturings and agonies of three college students during the 1980s, while his "Less than Zero," situated in the eighties as well, highlights a bunch of kids in an affluent, liberal arts college who at a tender age have indulged in too many drugs, too much sex, have had too much money, and who wind up disaffected nihilists devoid of feeling. Ellis cannot be accused of making broad, general statements about the spiritual emptiness of segments of young, rich people. In "American Psycho," his most realized work, he delves into the lifestyles of Pat Bateman and his circle in excruciating detail, dropping more names of designer clothing in just 399 pages than film critic Armond White drops names of movies in three years of reviewing.
"American Psycho" is narrated by the homicidal maniac of its title, Pat Bateman, in a such a flat tone that you wonder whether he is nothing more than a documentary filmmaker. Treating one of his gruesome murders with about the same level of emotion that he discusses a restaurant reservation or the kinds of clothing worn by people with whom he comes in contact, Bateman drones on in this manner:
"I run into Bradley Simpson from P&P outside F.A.O Schwartz and he's wearing a glen-plaid worsted wool suit with notched lapels by Perry Ellis, a cotton broadcloth shirt by Gitman Brothers, a silk tie by Savoy, a chronograph with a crocodile skin band by Breil, a cotton raincoat by Paul Smith and a fur felt hat by Paul Stuart." Ellis drops literally hundreds of names like these, assuring the reader that he knows the society whereof he speaks. His writing is so entertaining in describing yuppie concerns that we are almost sorry when he begins to describe the homicidal inclinations of his central character--as late as page 131. Eventually he decorates his room with the skin and bones and brains and hair of his innumerable female victims, some from his circle of acquaintances, others bimbos whom he has brought over by calling escort services. Here is Pat Bateman's description of his feeling toward the homeless:
"I pull out a long, thin knife with a serrated edge and, being very careful not to kill him, push maybe half an inch of the blade into his right eye, flicking the handle up, instantly popping the retina....with my thumb and forefinger hold the other eye open and bring the knife up and push the tip of it into the socket, first breaking its protective film so the socket fills with blood, then slitting the eyeball open sideways, and he finally starts screaming once I slit his nose in two...
In moments like these, you won't be faulted for wondering whether Ellis uses the theme of American spiritual vacuity ingenuously to give his novel a profound, spiritual meaning-- whether he really is the pornographer that so many people accuse him of being, interested only in arousing the baser emotions of the readers. Let's for the record give him the benefit of the doubt and accept the book for what it is: a harsh indictment of a society that is so wrapped up in spending, on keeping up with the Joneses and spurring the envy of its neighbors, that it has lost its spiritual center. Those among us who are not rich or famous or trendy can argue that nothing in this book applies to them. Really? Components of the underclass who mug people not to buy food for their families but to afford the trendiest athletic footwear cannot escape blame. If you are just about getting by comfortably, can you say with certainty that you and your circle of family and friends genuinely feel for those outside (or even inside) your circle--that you sympathize with the homeless, care for the desperate, and live your life to make the world a better place than it was before you arrived? Perhaps you can, perhaps not. But that's a subject for another novel. Ellis--are you listening? (C) Harvey Karten<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The review above was posted to the

Task — ADMIT task (AT) base.¶
This module defines the ADMIT task (AT) base class.
-
class
admit.AT.
AT
(keys={}, keyvals={})[source]¶ Base class for Admit Task (AT) objects.
The ADMIT task base class implements generic interface features common to concrete ATs. Tasks are the basic execution unit in ADMIT and are responsible for operating on BDPs to perform calculations or otherwise transform them into new data products. Each task includes a unique set of keywords controlling its behavior.
Parameters: keys : dictionary of str keywords with default values, optional.
Task keyword settings; default keyword values vary by task.
Currently the following keywords, defined by the base class, are activated for each task:
- alias : str
By default ATs will use an alias by appending the file basename they normally use with “-alias”. For example, if an AT would normally transform “foo.im” to “foo.pv”, with “alias=test” you would get “foo-test.pv”. The notable exception is Ingest_AT, where the alias replaces the (potentially long) cube file basename, i.e., “verylongsourcename.fits” becomes “alias.im”. Must be unique for each concrete type of AT (will be appended with a unique suffix otherwise). Alias is a system keyword, inaccessible (via getkey()) after the task is instantiated.
- taskid : int
Forces a pre-determined task ID number when instantiating the task. Normally left defaulted (-1, meaning auto-select), but useful in special circumstances. This is a system keyword, inaccessible (via getkey()) after the task is instantiated.
- variflow : bool
Whether the flow emanating from an AT with variadic outputs should be dynamically adjusted according to the actual number of outputs. Normally left defaulted (True), but may be set to False if this will be managed separately or if the number of outputs is pre-determined for a particular instance. This is a system keyword, inaccessible (via getkey()) after the task is instantiated.
keyvals : dictionary of new values for the keywords, optional.
These keyword value pairs can be fed in form the command line instantiation of the class.

Notes
As a general rule the attributes of an AT should not be directly manipulated by the code in an AT—all are taken care of internally or accessed via methods (e.g., setkey).

New project base directory (ignored if None).
Returns: Updated project base directory.
-
bestMatch
(at1, at2)[source]¶ Determines the better match of two tasks to the current one.
Type is most important, then alias, then keywords (most matching keywords, followed by most matching values).
Parameters: at1 : AT
First task.
at2 : AT
Second task.
Returns: int
ID number of best matching task (in the case of a tie, the first task ID is returned).
-
checkfiles
()[source]¶ Check if the files from all the BDP_out’s in an AT exist. Return the list of files not found.
Parameters: None Returns: None Notes
In multiflows, BDPs for ATs linked from other projects (distinguished by a non-zero value of getProject()) are not (re)checked for existence; this occurs when the parent project is read.
-
checktype

The item to check.
Returns: Boolean
True if the item is a BDP, False otherwise.

-
copy
()[source]¶ Creates an independent duplicate of the task.
The task ID of the duplicate will be unset and the alias marked to allow auto-updating.
Parameters: aliases : dict of set of str
Reserved alias registry.
Returns: Reference to the new (cloned) task.
Notes
The current implementation performs a deepcopy() and updates a few members.
-
delete
()[source]¶ Method to delete the AT and underlying BDPs.
It is recommended that any AT that stores images inside of lists, dictionaries, tuples, etc. override this method with a customized version.
Parameters: None Returns: None

Parameters: slot : int
The slot to remove the BDP from
Returns: None
-
dir
(filename=None)[source]¶ Absolute directory reference of the ADMIT project.
Returns the absolute directory name of this ADMIT project or a derefenced filename address. Normally you will need such an absolute file or directory name when non-ADMIT tools are needed for I/O. Also note that this project directory is guarenteed to end with the operating dependent directory separator (usually ‘/’). This way filenames can be constructed as follows: Admit.dir() + ‘foobar.dat’ or more conveniently Admit.dir(‘foobar.dat’)
Parameters: filename : string, optional
Filename to be appended to the absolute directory name. This can include additional subdirectories.
Returns: string
The directory name within which all ADMIT files reside.
-
dryrun
()[source]¶ Method to do a dry run of the AT, generally just checks input values for errors.
Parameters: None Returns: bool, True if all is ok, False otherwise
-
enabled
(state=None)[source]¶ Returns current task enabled setting, with optional reset.
Parameters: state : bool, optional
New value of enabled flag (default None keeps current value).
Returns: bool
Whether task is enabled (prior to applying state, if provided).
-
execute
(args=None)[source]¶ Executes the task.
Execution performs the following actions: 0. Mark task running. 1. Update BDP inputs (if args is given). 2. Validate task keywords. 3. Validate task BDP inputs. 4. Call task run(). 5. Mark task up to date. 6. Mark persistent BDP outputs out of date. 7. Disable running attribute.
Parameters: args : list of BDPs, optional
List of BDP inputs used by run() method; default is to use the most recently supplied inputs.
Returns: None
See also
Notes
If args is not given, the previously cached BDP inputs are reused; hence execution (input validation) will fail if required arguments are absent.
-
freeAlias
(aliases, alias=None)[source]¶ Deletes alias reservation, if present.
Parameters: aliases : 2-tuple of dict of str to set of str
Reserved alias registry, keyed by alias base name (index 0) or AT type (index 1). For index 0, the value is the set of aliases created with that base name; for index 1, it is the set of default aliases created for ATs of that type. In both cases, the duplicate aliases are appended with ‘@N’ for some integer N.
alias : str, optional
Alias name to release; default
None
means use the current AT’s alias.Returns: None
-
get
(attrib)[source]¶ Method to get the given attributes value
Parameters: attrib : str
The name of the attribute to get
Returns: varies, depends on the type of the attribute
The value of the attribute, or None is it does not exist
-
getProject
()[source]¶ Retrieves project ID associated with the task.
Multiflows involve adding tasks belonging to other projects into a single flow, the multiflow. To prevent task ID collisions, tasks in multiflows embed a project number into the task ID.
This method returns the project ID attached to the task. This will be zero unless setProject() has been called—normally only by the ProjectManager when a project is added for use in a multiflow.
Returns: int
Task project ID.
See also
Notes
Project IDs are local to each multiflow. Hence the same task, linked in two independent multiflows, may have a different project ID in each. This has no effect on the task in its parent flow (for which this method will return zero).
-
getVersion
()[source]¶ Return the version string.
Parameters: None
Returns: String
The version of the AT
-
getdtd
(fl)[source]¶ Method to write out the dtd data.
Parameters: fl : file handle
Open output file handle.
Returns: None
-
geteffectivelevel
()[source]¶ Method to get the effective logging level of the logging subsystem
Parameters: None Returns: int, the effective logging level
-
getkey
(key)[source]¶ Retrieval value for a key. If the key had not been set yet, a default value can be returned, else None is returned. Notice no type checking has been done here, the caller is responsible for this.
Parameters: key : string
The key whose value is to be returned.
Returns: The value of the key.
See also
-
getloggername
()[source]¶ Method to get the name of the logger for this AT instance
Parameters: None Returns: String containing the name of the logger.
-
getlogginglevel
()[source]¶ Method to get the current logging level of the AT
Parameters: None Returns: int, the current logging level
-
haskey
(key)[source]¶ Query if a key exists for an AT.
Parameters: key : string
The key to check for existence.
Returns: Boolean
True if the key exists, False otherwise.
-
html
(inheader)[source]¶ Method to represent the current AT in HTML format.
Parameters: inheader : str
Base header info for the html output
Returns: An html representation of the AT
-
id
(strip=False)[source]¶ Returns task ID number.
Parameters: strip : bool, optional
Whether to strip project ID (if any) from returned value (default: False).
Returns: int
Task ID number.
Notes
Raises an exception if no ID assigned (freshly constructed tasks do not have an ID, it is set when the task is added to a project).
-
isAutoAlias
(withEmpty=True, compat=None)[source]¶ Whether the task alias appears to be auto-generated.
The form of auto-generated aliases is a string ending in ‘@’ followed by a decimal integer. Users should avoid defining aliases which look like ADMIT-generated aliases as they may be reset automatically, but are not actively prevented from doing so.
Parameters: withEmpty : bool, optional
Whether an empty alias is considered auto-generated.
compat : str, optional
An alias name to test for compatibility. If not
None
, the alias stem (with its ‘@N’ removed) must match the stem for compat for this method to returnTrue
.Returns: bool
Whether the task alias was auto-generated (or, optionally, empty) and compatible with compat (if specified).
Notes
It does not affect the result whether compat itself is an auto-generated alias; e.g., ‘foo’ and ‘foo@1’ are equivalent arguments.
-
isequal
(at)[source]¶ Method to determine if two ATs are the same. Useful for testing.
Parameters: at : AT
The AT to compare against
Returns: Boolean
Whether or not the ATs are equal
-
isstale
()[source]¶ Returns whether the AT is out of date.
Parameters: None
Returns: boolean
True if the AT is out of date, else False.
-
len2
()[source]¶ Returns the length of _bdp_in and _bdp_out in a tuple.
If you just want the _bdp_out, the intrinsic len(my_at) Thus my_at.len2()[1] is the same as len(my_at).
Returns: Tuple
Tuple contains 2 values, the length of _bdp_in and _bdp_out
-
markChanged
()[source]¶ Mark an AT that it’s state was changed, so it would need to be rerun. The FlowManager will take care of any dependants that will need to be marked as well. Use “markUpToDate” if you want the opposite function.
Parameters: None Returns: None
-
markUpToDate
()[source]¶ Resets _stale to indicate that the AT does not need to be run.
Parameters: None Returns: None
-
merge
(at, aliases=None)[source]¶ Merges attributes from another task.
The purpose of this method is to facilitate re-running of flows by transferring select attributes from one task to a compatible replacement task. To maintain transparency, attributes are overwritten only where necessary to preserve flow integrity; in particular, items such as keyword values and the task ID are never modified.
Parameters: at : ADMIT task
Task to merge with self.
aliases : 2-tuple of dict of str to set of str
Reserved alias registry, keyed by alias base name (index 0) or AT type (index 1). For index 0, the value is the set of aliases created with that base name; for index 1, it is the set of default aliases created for ATs of that type. In both cases, the duplicate aliases are appended with ‘@N’ for some integer N.
Returns: None
Notes
It is the caller’s responsibility to set the alias as desired. Doing so locally (here) may result in unnecessary reassignments, causing tasks which are otherwise unaltered to be marked stale.
The task enabled/disabled status is always copied from the input task. This is necessary for variflow maintenance but applied uniformly for simplicity.
-
mkdir
(dirname)[source]¶ Make a directory in the ADMIT hierarchy. Checks whether the directory already exists. It also allows an absolute path, in the classical UNIX sense, but this is normally not needed.
Parameters: dirname : str
Directory name.
Notes
Todo
this routine is identical to the one in Admit()
-
mkext
(filename, ext, alias='')[source]¶ Return a new filename with a new extension with optional ADMIT alias.
This will either append an extension to a (file)name without an extension, or replace one. If an alias was set by this task, the alias will replace the alias found in the basename dash.
You can also provide a local alias, instead of using the task alias.
- Examples:
- (“x” , “z” ) -> “x.z” (“x.y”, “z” ) -> “x.z” (“x.y”, “z”, “a”) -> “x-a.z”
-
newId
(tid)[source]¶ Assigns the task a new ID number.
Related attributes are updated accordingly.
Parameters: tid : int
New task ID.
Returns: int
Assigned ID number.
-
reset
(a)[source]¶ Performs an in-place shallow copy.
Parameters: a : ADMIT Task
Task reference to copy from.
Returns: None
-
run
()[source]¶ Runs the task.
Running a task transforms its input BDPs into output BDPs according to its function. Following this call the output BDPs accurately reflect the current state of the task (keywords and BDP inputs). Each concrete AT must implement its own run() method.
Returns: None See also
-
running
(state=None)[source]¶ Returns current task execution flag, with optional reset.
Parameters: state : bool, optional
New value of enabled flag (default None keeps current value).
Returns: bool
Whether task is currently being executed (prior to applying state, if provided).
-
set
(item, val)[source]¶ Method to set protected attributes, rather than direct access
Parameters: item : str
The name of the variable to set
val : varies
The value to set the attribute to
Returns: None
-
setAlias
(aliases, alias=None, auto=False)[source]¶ Sets and registers the task alias, guaranteed unique among registered aliases.
Checks whether the input alias is already in use. If so, raises an exception unless the name appears auto-generated (or is empty), in which case the aliases is updated to ensure uniqueness. The latter are names appended with a string of the form ‘@N’, where N is some decimal integer value. Resets the task alias name to the final result.
Normally users should not call this function directly; user-defined aliases should be set via the AT constructor argument instead.
Parameters: aliases : 2-tuple of dict of str to set of str
Reserved alias registry, keyed by alias base name (index 0) or AT type (index 1). For index 0, the value is the set of aliases created with that base name; for index 1, it is the set of default aliases created for ATs of that type. In both cases, the duplicate aliases are appended with ‘@N’ for some integer N.
alias : str, optional
The (suggested) task alias name; default
None
uses the current _alias value.auto : bool, optional
Whether to automatically append a unique ‘@N’ suffix if the alias is already in use; otherwise, an exception will be raised (unless the alias already ends in ‘@N’, which implies auto =
True
).Returns: str
The assigned alias name.
Notes
Performs an iterative search for the first available name following the (estimated) final assigned alias for the AT of the given type.
Users may specify an alias of the form ‘foo@0’ to indicate that a sequence of aliases ‘foo@0’, ‘foo@1’, ... be auto-generated as necessary. This can be useful in scripts where tasks are generated in loops and a predictable series of aliases is desired.
-
setProject
(pid)[source]¶ Adds a project ID to task ID.
Multiflows involve adding tasks belonging to other projects into a single flow, the multiflow. To prevent task ID collisions, tasks in multiflows embed a project number into the task ID.
This method performs the actual embedding operation. The project ID is inserted beginning at bit 32 and replaces any previous project ID. Since Python integers are automatically multi-precision there is never danger of truncation of the project ID.
Parameters: pid : int
Project ID number.
Returns: None

Mini Tori Shogi
I am a big fan of small Shogi games such as Mini Shogi. Tori Shogi (also known as Bird Shogi) is considered to be the smallest of the historic variants. It is played on a 7x7 grid with 16 pieces per player.  As a result, I have been wanting to experiment with a smaller version.
In the same vein as Mini Shogi, I came up with a smaller Tori Shogi game that I not so cleverly call Mini Tori Shogi. It is played on a 5x5 board and each player has 6 pieces. The pieces are traditional pieces from the original Tori Shogi game.
Setup
Each player has 2 Pheasants, 2 Cranes, 1 Phoenix, and 1 Falcon.
The board is arranged like this:
Rules
- The Pheasants moves forward to the 2nd space and diagonally back 1 space (left or right).
- The Cranes move 1 space any direction except horizontally.
- The Phoenix moves 1 space any direction. This is the King/General piece.
- The Falcon moves 1 space any direction except backwards and promotes to an Eagle.
- The Eagle can:
a.) Move 1 space forward, left, right and back diagonally.
b.) Move 2 spaces back diagonally.
c.) Move as many spaces forward diagonally and back vertically (no jumping allowed). - Only the Falcon promotes when it reaches the last row of the opposing side.
- Captured pieces are allowed to be dropped back on the board.
- The first person who captures their opponent’s Phoenix wins.
The set itself was fun to make. The board is a 1/4 inch red oak plywood containing a grid burned in with a Razortip wood burner. I was originally going to make the pieces with the original Kanji characters and helper markers that indicate how to move. I love how Kanji characters look, but decided to explore the use of bird silhouettes. They are not perfect, but I liked how they turned out.
Unfortunately, after playing a few game, I think I need to iterate more on which pieces to use and the setup. Although I enjoy the aesthetics of the game, there are some problems with the gameplay. For example, at the start of the game, the Pheasants can only move forward to the second space. That means 2 of the 3 moves it can make are not possible. Also, the lack of long distance moving pieces (like a Rook or Bishop) makes the game less dynamic and bit slow.
This was still a fun experiment and I will probably continue to iterate on it. Please feel free to give any feedback or ideas by tweeting to @richfamilygames.

The different shapes this puzzle can take on make it really fun. Many of them have been given clever names.
The solution I give here is not very efficient, but it works. Notice that we will only need the R
, U
and D
symbols. The R
symbol will always be a pi-radians rotation. The amount of rotation for U
or D
will always be the minimum amount needed to prevent bandaging R
, which will very depending on the state of the puzzle.
Get it back into cube shape. Try to get all the small pie wedges sandwitched together on one side. From here, split the pie wedges in half, then in half again, the again on just one side while preserving them on the other, then there is just one last split giving you the cube shape up to the middle slice alignment which you can ignore until the last step.
The crux is getting all those pie wedges sandwitched together on one side. With practice, you can recognize many different cases to get there faster.
Now get all the white diamond edges on one side. Consequently, this will also put all yellow diamond wedges on the other.
Here we position the diamond wedges correctly relative to one another on both the top and the bottom. Igoring the bottom, use A=2[R,D,R,Di],R
to swap a pair of diamond wedges on the top layer. Once solved, flip the puzzle over and focus on the other diamond wedges on the other side. Since A
also swaps a pair of diamond wedges on the bottom, you must apply it an even number of times to solve the diamond wedges on the final layer. This can always be done.
We now permute the pie wedges. I use 2[R,U],R,D,R,Di,R,U,2[R,Ui],R
. Use a simple setup move D,R,Di
to permute pie wedges across a single layer. If you find two remaining pie wedges that need to be swapped, you have parity! To solve this, use the pie wedge quad-cycle (B,(D),Bi),U,R,Ui,Di,R,Ui
where B=R,U,D,R,Ui,Di,R,U,D,R
. Interestingly, it's the D
in parenthesis in this sequence that is the real parity fix.
Finally, solve the middle layer. Use 2[R,2U],R
and R,2U,2D,R
to get this done.

Enhance a traditional Génoise sponge with the rich flavours of chocolate and whisky.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Lightly grease and line the base of two 20cm/8in cake tins.
For the sponge, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl for 4-5 minutes, or until thick and pale.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder, then gently fold it into the egg and sugar mixture until just combined. Stir in the melted butter.
Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 prepared cake tins. Place the tins onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cakes are risen and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the marmalade cream, place the marmalade into a food processor and blend to a purée.
Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gently fold in the marmalade puree to create a marbling effect throughout the cream.
To serve, place the sponge cakes on a tray and drizzle the whisky evenly between the 2 cakes. Place one sponge on a serving plate and spread over the marmalade cream. Top with the second sponge cake. Lightly dust with icing sugar, then cut into wedges to serve.

With a lot of help from many websites I am pleased to say that I have managed to set up a remote moteino based node to listen out for the data from a Maplin weather station (a N96Gy using OOK encoding at 433 MHz) and then to push it back out in a Jeelab/emonCMS friendly format.
A bit of background
A while back I bought a Raspberry Pi and after firing it up a few times it went back on the shelf needing a project. Roll forwards a couple of months and I came across Kevin Sangeelee's project for intercepting the data from a cheap Maplin weather station (their N96GY) and feeding it into a RPi www.susa.net.
So when I next saw the weather station on offer I bought one and with the help of the excellent Pywws software and www.weather.dragontail.co.uk's RPi image and How To guides I now have my own little weather site.
With one project in hand and working it was time to branch out (and thankfully it is really hard to break a RPi). I then came across a bunch of home monitoring websites and this appealed to the inner geek.
A few months later and the house is slowly getting wired up with sensor nodes based on moteinos from lowpowerlab.com and a couple of Funkyv2s from harizanov.com. Nobody warned me I would need to start learning to code!
The inevitable
So there I was running a couple RPis: one with Pywws grabbing the weather data; and the second grabbing sensor data and pushing it into emonCMS. I know it is only a matter of time before I lose a SD card on one of these so getting the weather data into emonCMS as a form of backup would make sense – as Murphy's law dictates this will be just before I do a backup of the SD card. Making this happen was not quite as easy.
There are a few tantalising threads out there about pushing data from Pywws into emonCMS, however, as my html and Java is non-existent I needed a bit more than a few hints. I also have an issue with my Pywws as it looks like it is stuck on an older Raspbian image as any update hopelessly breaks the wifi and it was a real pain to set up in the first instance. So scratch messing with the Pywws RPi until I have time for a full rebuild (and trying to remember how I did it the first time around).
The solution
So how was I to get the weather station info into emonCMS? So off I went to trawl through the many blog posts and forums looking at grabbing data off weather stations. Thankfully the Maplin is a re-badge of the Fine Offset WH1080 which has had a lot of work put into it. Once I worked out that I had one of the older versions using OOK encoding at 433mHz that finally lead me to Mark and Andrew at www.homeautomationhub.com - a really interesting project itself - and to Jeelab for the vital hardware mods needed. If you have a 868 mHz unit or one of the newer FSK versions you should find plenty of info there as well.
As I am using a RFM12Pi to receive the other sensor data that meant the GPIO ports were taken up. I also did not want to break the emonCMS RPi.
As I had every prospect of making a mess of the soldering (0603 really are small) I decided to use a little break out board care of nathan.chantrell.net for the RFM12B and made a shield on a small through-hole protoboard to mount this on - not pretty but cheap and functional (photo attached). Into this I am plugging a bare moteino as, with this running at 3.3v, this saves me having to deal with level shifting for the RFM12B. If you want to use a 5v Arduino the Jeelabs breakout looks to be a good option.
One crash course later in teaching myself just enough C# to be dangerous I seem to have a stable node listening out for the N96GY, grabbing the data and kicking it back out to emonCMS.
A big thank you to everyone out there that made this possible and the code in all its gory detail is attached. This looks to be working fine on a moteino but it does use up quite a lot of space if you turn on all the debugging options.
I am currently sleeping the node for a couple of minutes and then waking up to find a signal (they should be coming in every 48 seconds) and then it is back to sleep for a couple of minutes again. Any suggestions for some more power saving options appreciated as I am sure I can probably switch off a few 328 features I am not using.
What next?
Adding some more power save options
Using a voltage divider for a better battery reading than using the internal voltage
Messing around in emonCMS to do something with the data
Happy to answer any questions but please bear in mind that I am not a programmer and the decoding code is not of my creation.
Re: Feeding a Maplin weather station into Emoncms
I've done something similar but running pywws installed on a emoncms HDD image on a pi and using the pywws 'service' facility to push the data via a json call with API. Works flawlessly! Had to write the service template for pywws but that was easy. Search the pywws google group for info. I put the files on github.


[3.5/4.0] (dialog in Bengali, English subtitles)
This film, with the English title "The Unvanquished", is the second installment of Satyajit Ray's "Apu Trilogy".
Although it is can be coherent story when viewed by itself, it definitely builds upon the context provided in "Pather Panchali". That narrative concluded with the Roy family leaving the ancestral village to seek a better existence in Benares, the holy city on the Ganga (Ganges). This film picks up at that point, and we see that the Roys' fortunes have improved. Although they live in a shared house, Hari's (Kanu Bannerjee) regular work as a priest brings in a steady income and Apu (Pinaki Sengupta as the child, Smaran Ghosal as the adolescent) has made new friends and he is thriving. Sarbojaya (Karuna Bannerjee) still worries, but they have found the stability she had been seeking. However, this all changes when Hari dies of a sudden illness. With the death of her daughter (which occurred in the previous film) and her husband, Sarbojaya now only has Apu. She decides to move them to the countryside, and there Apu is able to learn priestly duties from his grand-uncle. However, Apu aspires to go to school, and with determination and their meager savings, he is able to attend. At school he becomes an outstanding student, and earns the opportunity for further studies in Calcutta on scholarship. Going away to school has opened a new world for Apu, but it has also separated him from Sarbojaya.
Once again, Satyajit Ray has sculpted a masterpiece. It continues the saga of the trilogy, but it also explores somewhat different themes. "Pather Panchali" dealt with the road of life, this film focuses more narrowly on the dynamics of an individual relationship, namely that of Sarbojaya and Apu. As a result, the pace of this film is more crisp, with limited use of interspersed cinematic flourishes which would slow the narrative. The issues of commitment and dependence are explored. Sarbojaya displays the strength of her spirit by not being broken from the hardships that have befallen her. The soberness of the story is tempered with small nuggets of simple humor. As in the previous film, this film is backed with the delightful and appropriate music of Ravi Shankar.
The acting performances are outstanding, although few characters are given exposure besides Sarbojaya and Apu. Kanu Bannerjee is again exceptional, as she handles the character's evolution into a world- weary but resolved and loving mother. Smaran Ghosal does a fantastic job as the adolescent Apu. The character is naive, and often self- absorbed, from simple childish immaturity. Although he does not intend to be uncaring, his determination blinds him to the requirements of responsibility. This is a multifaceted character and Ghosal is able to combine all the parts into a credible whole.
As Apu discovers a passion for learning, he immerses himself in that world, which unwittingly separates him from his mother. Apu proudly recounts what he has learned to Sarbojaya, and she shows her happiness in seeing her son doing well as something he loves, a success which eluded his father. However, in these scenes, like Apu describing the positions of the sun, earth and moon to Sarbojaya, it is obvious that this is a foreign world to her. Eventually, his passion takes him to another city, and essentially away from Sarbojaya. It is wrenching to see the conflicts involved with Apu's decision to study away in Calcutta.  Sarbojaya's desire for Apu to stay with her is also understandable because she desperately wants to keep her last remaining treasure with her, not because she wants to restrict Apu in any way. She shows her tremendous strength of character by not being possessive of Apu. Eventually fate unrolls the results of the decisions the individuals make.
Highly recommended. Ray has crafted another masterpiece which captures the drama of the human condition in a simple story. The story is engaging and moving. It can be watched on its own, but for full appreciation, it should be viewed after "Pather Panchali."

THE PIANO A film review by Joan Ellis Copyright 1995 Nebbadoon Syndicate
In THE PIANO, Jane Campion transports the audience to another world and time immediately and with absolute precision. The gray of her New Zealand sea and sky is grayer, grander, more forbidding than our experience of it elsewhere. The stark image of the piano standing in the swirling surf will endure.
Next to the piano, waiting, sit Ada and her nine-year-old daughter, Flora, an arranged family for Stewart, a lonely Englishman working his land among the Maori in the New Zealand bush of the 19th century. Borne through the surf by canoes from their ship, they spend the night under the hoop of her skirt, half a world away from their native Scotland and without a notion of what may await them.
What awaits them is Stewart who arrives with a band of Maori bearers and his roughly silent neighbor, Baines. The piano is too heavy, Stewart says. It will stay on the beach. Ada, who hasn't spoken a word since she was six, still manages to let the intractable Stewart know her rage. Silence is no indicator of this woman's power. It is Baines who rescues the piano, Ada's voice for all she feels.
It is in this, possibly the film's most memorable scene, that Campion begins to pose implied questions that she leaves unanswered. She shrouds the emotions of her characters in mystery. Campion has the eye of a visionary and the singular skill to capture what she sees. The seriousness of the film is punctuated with a wit that flows from her camera, not her words.
Ada can earn her piano back, Baines tells her, by coming to his house to give him lessons. One visit for every key, he says; only the black keys, she replies. And so this improbable pair explores the passion unleashed in both of them while Stewart stands by, submerged in emotion he has never felt before.
This is an extraordinary exploration of passion and betrayal as it explodes in the remote bush, removed from the eyes of conventional society, but judged with brutal intensity by the players themselves. The cast is beyond praise in conveying Campion's vision of a woman who speaks through her music to the two men who want her. Without words to distract us, we inhabit Ada's soul.
Holly Hunter gives an achingly original performance as Ada, playing Michael Nyman's music herself as naturally as if she were speaking. Sam Neill is superb as the vulnerable Stewart who loses his protective covering, and Harvey Keitel brings startling sensitivity to the solitary, innocent Baines.
Jane Campion pulled her company into her vision, took them off to the New Zealand bush and with their wise collaboration, captured it on film. The actors seem, as much as the characters they play, a group caught in time and place and passion. In perfect harmony with their director, they draw the audience into their strikingly beautiful and disturbing film so thoroughly that an entire audience sits numbed as the final credits roll.

It's me, Samantha!
Thanks for checking out my blog! I am an aspiring web developer currently enrolled in Dev Bootcamp in San Francisco. After graduating from Harvard in 2011 with a degree in History of Science, I moved to San Francisco to experience life on the West Coast. I worked for a wonderful tech company for almost three years. In my role as Client Services Director, I helped non-profits leverage their volunteers and better serve their communities. But I wanted to challenge myself to learn something new, so I began teaching myself the basics of web development, and decided to take the plunge into a full-time bootcamp.
This blog is comprised of writing inspired by my time in Dev Bootcamp's Phase 0, during which students are encouraged to reflect on what they are learning, both technically and culturally. There are also a handful of one-off web design projects filed under the projects tab.
When I'm not coding, I spend my time reading in San Francisco's many beautiful parks, riding my bike, hiking, jumping horses over large obstacles, griping about social injustice on Twitter, cooing at puppies, changing my hair color, being snobby about beer, and hanging out with my four backyard chickens.

At U2's Sydney concert, the highlights might not be what you expect
by George Palathingal
U2
Sydney Cricket Ground
November 22
★★★★
Australia, count your blessings. Not just because the world’s biggest rock band are touring but because U2 are here with their Joshua Tree show.
That album’s actual 30th-anniversary year was 2017 but after the original celebration tour then, the Irish four-piece hit the road anew last year in support of their twin longplayers Songs of Innocence (notoriously yours on iTunes in 2014, whether you wanted it or not) and Songs of Experience (for which you had to pay to own but wisely probably didn’t).
Mercifully, then, we didn’t get the Innocence + Experience tour and its surplus of inferior newer material. Rather, we got U2 revisiting a truly classic album between two mini-sets of revitalised greatest hits.
(As it happens, we also got something similar from Noel Gallagher earlier – he started his support slot with his more challenging but sometimes wonderful High Flying Birds material, before knocking us out with a handful of mighty Oasis tunes. But back to the main event.)
U2’s first smart move was to open the show with all four members performing on a runway deep into the crowd, without using the enormous screen behind them – so we were at first made to watch the band rather than the spectacle.
Here’s Larry Mullen jnr, pounding out the righteous march of Sunday Bloody Sunday. There’s Adam Clayton with the first of many simple but iconic bass lines (New Year’s Day). And then Bad, with its aching heart given added poignancy as singer Bono points out this day was the anniversary of his friend Michael Hutchence’s death, and so tries to fit INXS’s Never Tear Us Apart to its melody.
The spectacle soon followed, inevitably, with The Joshua Tree beautifully mounted with Anton Corbijn’s evocative visuals providing the backdrop as the band played it in order in its entirety.
The highlights might not be what you expected. While The Edge showed he can still be a thrillingly creative guitarist on the likes of Bullet the Blue Sky and In God’s Country, Bono refused to sing With or Without You properly, despite the fact he proved throughout the night he could still hit the high notes.
At least he pleasantly surprised us with a blast of his harmonica on Running to Standstill, which most of us didn’t expect to hear until (a sublime) Trip Through Your Wires.
The shadow of Hutchence reappeared when we got to the last rush of career highlights via a chorus from INXS’s Devil Inside during Vertigo, and U2’s own affecting tribute Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of.
But it was three songs from 1991’s Achtung Baby album that ultimately confirmed this show’s main point. Even Better Than the Real Thing set to a disco beat with yet more Edge heroics, Ultraviolet’s celebration of womanhood and an inevitably powerful and emotional One all showed that despite the occasional earlier flaw, U2 remain the world’s reigning kings of stadium rock.
U2 play the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, November 23, before their final show of The Joshua Tree tour at Perth’s Optus Stadium on November 27.

This library provides utilities for automatically submitting arbitrarily-sized
batches of reads and writes to DynamoDB using well-formed BatchGetItem
and
BatchWriteItem
operations, respectively. Partial successes (i.e.,
BatchGetItem
operations that return some responses and some unprocessed keys
or BatchWriteItem
operations that return some unprocessed items) will retry
the unprocessed items automatically using exponential backoff.
Create a BatchGet
object, supplying an instantiated DynamoDB client from the
AWS SDK for JavaScript and an iterable of keys that you wish to retrieve. The
iterable may be synchronous (such as an array) or asynchronous (such as an
object stream wrapped with async-iter-stream's
wrap
method).
import { BatchGet } from '@block65/dynamodb-batch-iterator';
import DynamoDB = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb');
const dynamoDb = new DynamoDB({region: 'us-west-2'});
const keys = [
['tableName', {keyProperty: {N: '0'}}],
['tableName', {keyProperty: {N: '1'}}],
['tableName', {keyProperty: {N: '2'}}],
// etc., continuing to count up to
['tableName', {keyProperty: {N: '1001'}}],
];
for await (const item of new BatchGet(dynamoDb, keys)) {
console.log(item);
}
The above code snippet will automatically split the provided keys into
BatchGetItem
requests of 100 or fewer keys, and any unprocessed keys will be
automatically retried until they are handled. The above code will execute at
least 11 BatchGetItem
operations, dependening on how many items are returned
without processing due to insufficient provisioned read capacity.
Each item yielded in the for...await...of
loop will be a single DynamoDB
record. Iteration will stop once each key has been retrieved or an error has
been encountered.
Create a BatchWrite
object, supplying an instantiated DynamoDB client from the
AWS SDK for JavaScript and an iterable of write requests that you wish to
execute. The iterable may be synchronous (such as an array) or asynchronous
(such as an object stream wrapped with async-iter-stream's
wrap
method).
Each write request should contain either a DeleteRequest
key or a PutRequest
key as described in the Amazon DynamoDB API reference.
import { BatchWrite } from '@block65/dynamodb-batch-iterator';
import DynamoDB = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb');
const dynamoDb = new DynamoDB({region: 'us-west-2'});
const keys = [
['tableName', {DeleteRequest: {Key: {keyProperty: {N: '0'}}}}],
['tableName', {PutRequest: {Item: {keyProperty: {N: '1'}, otherProperty: {BOOL: false}}}}],
['tableName', {DeleteRequest: {Key: {keyProperty: {N: '2'}}}}],
['tableName', {PutRequest: {Item: {keyProperty: {N: '3'}, otherProperty: {BOOL: false}}}}],
['tableName', {N: '2'}],
// etc., continuing to count up to
['tableName', {DeleteRequest: {Key: {keyProperty: {N: '102'}}}}],
];
for await (const item of new BatchGet(dynamoDb, keys)) {
console.log(item);
}
The above code snippet will automatically split the provided keys into
BatchWriteItem
requests of 25 or fewer write request objects, and any
unprocessed request objects will be automatically retried until they are
handled. The above code will execute at least 5 BatchWriteItem
operations,
dependening on how many items are returned without processing due to
insufficient provisioned write capacity.
Each item yielded in the for...await...of
loop will be a single write request
that has succeeded. Iteration will stop once each request has been handled or an
error has been encountered.

bundler will fetch all remote sources, but use the dependencies specified
in the fBGemfile.lockfR instead of resolving dependencies. . .P If a

will use the dependencies in the fBGemfile.lockfR for all gems that you did

That way, you do not spend all your time developing against Rack 2.0, using new APIs unavailable in Rack 1.x, only to have bundler switch to Rack 1.2 when the fBproductionfR group fIisfR used. . .P This should not cause any problems in practice, because we do not attempt to fBinstallfR the gems in the excluded groups, and only evaluate as part of the dependency resolution process. . .P This also means that you cannot include different versions of the same gem in different groups, because doing so would result in different sets of dependencies used in development and production. Because of the vagaries of the dependency resolution process, this usually affects more than just the gems you list in your Gemfile(5), and can (surprisingly) radically change the gems you are using. . .SH “REMEMBERED OPTIONS” Some options (marked above in the fIOPTIONSfR section) are remembered between calls to fBbundle installfR, and by the Bundler runtime. . .P For instance, if you run fBbundle install -\-without testfR, a subsequent call to fBbundle installfR that does not include a fB-\-withoutfR flag will remember your previous choice. . .P In addition, a call to fBBundler.setupfR will not attempt to make the gems in those groups available on the Ruby load path, as they were not installed. . .P The settings that are remembered are: . .TP fB-\-deploymentfR At runtime, this remembered setting will also result in Bundler raising an exception if the fBGemfile.lockfR is out of date. . .TP fB-\-pathfR Subsequent calls to fBbundle installfR will install gems to the directory originally passed to fB-\-pathfR. The Bundler runtime will look for gems in that location. You can revert this option by running fBbundle install -\-systemfR. . .TP fB-\-binstubsfR Bundler will update the executables every subsequent call to fBbundle installfR. . .TP fB-\-withoutfR As described above, Bundler will skip the gems specified by fB-\-withoutfR in subsequent calls to fBbundle installfR. The Bundler runtime will also not try to make the gems in the skipped groups available. . .SH “THE GEMFILE.LOCK” When you run fBbundle installfR, Bundler will persist the full names and versions of all gems that you used (including dependencies of the gems specified in the Gemfile(5)) into a file called fBGemfile.lockfR. . .P Bundler uses this file in all subsequent calls to fBbundle installfR, which guarantees that you always use the same exact code, even as your application moves across machines. . .P Because of the way dependency resolution works, even a seemingly small change (for instance, an update to a point-release of a dependency of a gem in your Gemfile(5)) can result in radically different gems being needed to satisfy all dependencies. . .P As a result, you fBSHOULDfR check your fBGemfile.lockfR into version control. If you do not, every machine that checks out your repository (including your production server) will resolve all dependencies again, which will result in different versions of third-party code being used if fBanyfR of the gems in the Gemfile(5) or any of their dependencies have been updated. . .SH “CONSERVATIVE UPDATING” When you make a change to the Gemfile(5) and then run fBbundle installfR, Bundler will update only the gems that you modified. . .P In other words, if a gem that you fBdid not modifyfR worked before you called fBbundle installfR, it will continue to use the exact same versions of all dependencies as it used before the update. . .P Let's take a look at an example. Here's your original Gemfile(5): . .IP “” 4 . .nf
source “rubygems\.org“
gem “actionpack”, “2.3.8” gem “activemerchant” . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P In this case, both fBactionpackfR and fBactivemerchantfR depend on fBactivesupportfR. The fBactionpackfR gem depends on fBactivesupport 2.3.8fR and fBrack ~> 1.1.0fR, while the fBactivemerchantfR gem depends on fBactivesupport >= 2.3.2fR, fBbraintree >= 2.0.0fR, and fBbuilder >= 2.0.0fR. . .P When the dependencies are first resolved, Bundler will select fBactivesupport 2.3.8fR, which satisfies the requirements of both gems in your Gemfile(5). . .P Next, you modify your Gemfile(5) to: . .IP “” 4 . .nf
source “rubygems\.org“
gem “actionpack”, “3.0.0.rc” gem “activemerchant” . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P The fBactionpack 3.0.0.rcfR gem has a number of new dependencies, and updates the fBactivesupportfR dependency to fB= 3.0.0.rcfR and the fBrackfR dependency to fB~> 1.2.1fR. . .P When you run fBbundle installfR, Bundler notices that you changed the fBactionpackfR gem, but not the fBactivemerchantfR gem. It evaluates the gems currently being used to satisfy its requirements: . .TP fBactivesupport 2.3.8fR also used to satisfy a dependency in fBactivemerchantfR, which is not being updated . .TP fBrack ~> 1.1.0fR not currently being used to satify another dependency . .P Because you did not explicitly ask to update fBactivemerchantfR, you would not expect it to suddenly stop working after updating fBactionpackfR. However, satisfying the new fBactivesupport 3.0.0.rcfR dependency of actionpack requires updating one of its dependencies. . .P Even though fBactivemerchantfR declares a very loose dependency that theoretically matches fBactivesupport 3.0.0.rcfR, bundler treats gems in your Gemfile(5) that have not changed as an atomic unit together with their dependencies. In this case, the fBactivemerchantfR dependency is treated as fBactivemerchant 1.7.1 + activesupport 2.3.8fR, so fBbundle installfR will report that it cannot update fBactionpackfR. . .P To explicitly update fBactionpackfR, including its dependencies which other gems in the Gemfile(5) still depend on, run fBbundle update actionpackfR (see fBbundle update(1)fR). . .P fBSummaryfR: In general, after making a change to the Gemfile(5) , you should first try to run fBbundle installfR, which will guarantee that no other gems in the Gemfile(5) are impacted by the change. If that does not work, run bundle update(1) fIbundle-update.1.htmlfR.

| void ADC_Init | ( | ) |
ADC1 Initialization Function.
This function should be called once as part of the firmware initialization process.
Initializes ADC1 in single sampling mode, with two input channels converted (temp sensor and VREFINT). The sample time is set to 601 ADC cycles. The ADC is clocked from 72MHz core clock divided by 8. 601 cycles / (72MHz/8) -> 66us. The Temp sensor requires a minimum 10us setting time for accurate measurements. Because these values are measured for diagnostics monitoring pursposes only, using a long sample time is not a problem.
| void ADC_Update | ( | ) |
Read and scale ADC values then load to output registers.
This function drives the ADC state machine and should be called periodically from the cyclic executive. The ADC is configured in non-continuous scanning mode, with the temp sensor and VREFINT channels enabled. For each channel, the state machine initiates an ADC sample, then goes to a wait state which does not advance until the EOC flag for that sample has been set. The VREFINT channel is sampled prior to the temp sensor channel, because the calculated Vdd value is used to compensate the temp sensor scale factor.

Calculate Vdd from VREFINT measurement.
VREFINT as a regulated ~1.23V supply generated by the STM32 processor core internally. The value of VREFINT with Vdd = 3.3V is logged by ST during production (stored in VREFINT_CAL). Theoretical value of 1501
In general, when an ADC measurement is performed, the ADC output = (2^12 - 1) * voltage / Vdd
so Vref (real voltage) = VREFINT_CAL * 3.3 / (2^12 - 1)
Therefore a measurement of the current Vref is equivalent to:
VrefMeasurement = (2^12 - 1) * (VREFINT_CAL * 3.3 / (2^12 - 1)) / Vdd VrefMeasurement = VREFINT_CAL * 3.3 / Vdd Vdd = VREFINT_CAL * 3.3 / VrefMeasurement
|
static |
Handle end of conversion for a temp sensor value.
This function reads the latest temp sensor output value and applies it to the temp sensor decimation averaging filter. If the end of a decimation period has been reached, it updates the temperature sensor output value and flags any temperature over range events in the STATUS register (outside -40C to 85C).
|
static |
Scale raw ADC temperature data to temp output.
Temp (in C, 10LSB per degree) = (800 / (TS_CAL2 - TS_CAL1)) * (val - TS_CAL1) + 300
The CAL values are measured with VREF = 3.3V at the factory. To make the measurement accurate, the most recent value read for VDD (using ADC VREFINT measurement) is used to normalize the raw temperature sensor measurement to a 3.3V reference voltage.

Welcome to MSR Project!¶
The International Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR) has hosted the mining challenge every year, since 2006. With this challenge, they aim at everyone interested to apply their tools to a common dataset. The challenge is for researchers and practitioners to use their mining tools and approaches on a dare. The goal is to answer questions about a given dataset, that were previously unanswered.
MSR 2020 is a challenge which presents Software Heritage Graph Dataset. This is one of the largest known existing public archive of software source code and accompanying development history. More information can be found in ‘Dataset’ tab.
Our goal here is to answer certain research questions (mentioned in ‘Problem Statement’ tab) and gain some meaninful insights from the dataset.


--- layout: post title: Authenticated S3 GETs For Private Objects Using Paperclip disqus_id: /2009/11/23/authenticated-s3-gets-for-private-objects-using-paperclip/ lastmod: 2011-10-18 categories: - heuristics - ruby-rails ---
Yea I know, I am probably the last person on earth that is just getting around to using Paperclip. To be honest, most of my file upload code was written way before Paperclip or even AttachementFu was ever conceived. And frankly, I do not do much social app coding on the side - so the need never came up. But that changed recently and I wanted a really really good way of leveraging AWS::S3 storage with the best local app security while maintaining tight control over the files.
So the Paperclip wiki has a few links that already dealt with some ways of protecting your app's attachments. One mentions a method I totally love called security through obscurity. It uses a secure random token as part of the filename which combined with the original filename and the id partition makes for great random URLs. The other is a great walk thru on how to use the :url option of paperclip to point access control back to your own application for your normal biz logic.
The problem I see with both of these methods is that they do not allow you to maintain app control past the final URL handoff/redirect. It also requires that your S3 bucket is public. For instance, if you were to use the s3_permissions => :private
option of Paperclip, then that URL given to you by Paperclip is pretty much worthless. I knew AWS::S3 had authenticated GETs that generated an automatically expiring URL, but saw no way of accessing its features using the abstract Paperclip::Attachment
object. So this is what I did.
Let me walk you thru some of the highlights of that class, the general concept following is that we are going to use the best of both examples in security mentioned above. First, the secure token, that is what #set_random_secret will generate for each instance. The :path
option for Paperclip uses a proc to make sure each instance uses that attribute in the string that will be later interpolated further down. You can also see how I use the id partition too. Next, I have added two public instance methods. The first is #attachment_url and it will need a bit of explaining.
Currently in Paperclip, if you use the :url option and your :storage is set to :s3, then it is ignored. This could totally be intentional. So in a typical setup where you want the file download running through your own access control, you wold have a :url option like this :url => '/:class/:id/:filename'
. So this is what #attachment_url mimics, it simply gets around that shortcoming and points the download action back to your own controller. How that controller would work is beyond the scope of this article, see the resources section below for those links.
The last example method is #authenticated_s3_get_url which dips right on down to the AWS::S3 library to get the URL for the object in the bucket. AWS::S3's doc mention that it will automatically generate a secure GET url that expires in 5 minutes. However in my example, you can see where I am changing that to 10 minutes and forcing the HTTPS protocol. This would be the URL that your own controller would do the final redirect to. This URL is for your private objects in your S3 bucket and will only work for the amount of time you want it too! Meaning your app stays in complete control. Putting it all together one more time...
{% highlight ruby %} # A MyDownload instance. >> dl = MyDownload.find(4) # This is totally useless for private buckets/objects. >> dl.attachment.url => "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/000/000/004/147681c16fddc1e5/private.pdf?1258989107" # This is what you use in your own views. >> dl.attachment_url => "my_downloads/4/private.pdf" # Your controller would redirect to this secure GET. >> dl.authenticated_s3_get_url => "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/000/000/004/147681c16fddc1e5/private.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=0HJD3NS9CVWN2JV89K02&Expires=1258990967&Signature=8aWsq4o5gXfpIrRZyeETddnOeFw%3D" {% endhighlight %}
Good eye! Did you see that I have a processor called Noop in the has_attached_file declaration? The default processor in Paperclip is the Thumbnail processor, which no matter what calls the ImageMagick identify command to see if it can do something to the file. I did not want that or any processing, just simple attachments. So I created this simple processor that just straight returns the file object. I made a ticket on the Paperclip's issue page that hopefully would allow a :processors => false
option one day that would do this as well. So maybe one day it'll be a feature.
Here is an updated #authenticated_s3_get_url
that I use with Fog as the backend storage for S3. This example illustrates 2 things. First that the bucket is named as your CNAME record which is also enforced in the :fog_host
. I do this so that I can generate URLs via Paperclip or Fog and always have my custom domain in place. When I gsub the "s3.amazonaws.com" out, I am left with just my CNAME domain/bucket name. Lastly, if you want to generate "https" URLs, use the #get_https_url
method.


Other environment variables of interest: USER (recipient username), EXTENSION (address extension), DOMAIN (domain part of address), and LOCAL (the address localpart).
Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, this parameter is not subjected to parameter substitutions. This is to make it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below).
Avoid shell meta characters because they will force Postfix to run an expensive shell process. Procmail alone is expensive enough.

Man Utd player ratings from Brighton win as Marcus Rashford shines at Old Trafford
Manchester United made light work of Brighton as Andreas Pereira's opener, a Davy Propper own goal and Marcus Rashford's strike sealed a 3-1 win over Brighton
by David McDonnell, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/david-mcdonnell/Manchester United bounced back from their Bournemouth humiliation last weekend with a comfortable 3-1 Premier League win over Brighton on Sunday.
Andreas Pereira opened the scoring after good work from Anthony Martial, with the Brazil international's clipped effort taking a huge deflection off Dale Stephens to leave the helpless Mat Ryan with no chance.
Two minutes later and United's lead was doubled when another fortunate goal saw Davy Propper bundle into his own net after pressure from Scott McTominay, with VAR causing a huge delay after Harry Maguire was accused of handling the ball in the build up.
The visitors pulled a goal back in the second half when Lewis Dunk powered home a header but, within two minutes again, United had restored their two-goal lead when Marcus Rashford scored a cracker.
Here are how United's players rated...
David de Gea 7
Little to do between the posts but produced fine reaction save at close-range from Maupay in the second-half.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7
Defensively solid and a constant threat down the right going forward. Linked well with James.
Victor Lindelof 6
Shaky at the start, losing possession cheaply, but improved thereafter and rarely troubled.
Harry Maguire 7
United's skipper led by example. Strong in the air, anticipated danger and assured bringing the ball out.
Brandon Williams 8
Strong and committed throughout on first Premier League start. Denied a goal by Ryan.
Scott McTominay 7
Looked to have bundled ball over the line to make it 2-0, although given as an own goal.
Fred 7
Snapped into tackles early on and made some key interceptions. Growing in influence.
Andreas Pereira 7
His deflected shot opened the scoring for United after 17 minutes after key role in build-up.
Daniel James 8
Work-rate as impressive as his threat going forward. Denied goal on his birthday by Ryan.
Marcus Rashford 9 MOTM
Scored United's third off underside of bar, then missed open goal moments later. Booked.
Anthony Martial 8

Uddhav Thackeray postpones Ayodhya visit
Welcoming the verdict, Thackeray said that he would visit Ayodhya again to seek darshan.
by DECCAN CHRONICLE.Mumbai: With no signs of government formation visible yet, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has postponed his Ayodhya visit, which was originally scheduled on November 24.
As his plans of forming the government with the support of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress have not materialised so far, the Sena chief has been forced to focus even more on government formation.
After the Supreme Court verdict on the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land title dispute on November 9, Thackeray had announced that he would visit Ayodhya on November 24.
In its judgment, the apex court cleared the decks for construction of a Ram Mandir at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf board for building a mosque.
Welcoming the verdict, Thackeray said that he would visit Ayodhya again to seek darshan.
However, the current political imbroglio has forced the Sena chief to postpone his Ayodhya plans, said sources. Even 25 days after declaration of the results of the Vidhan Sabha polls, no party has been able to form the government in the state. Spurned by alliance partner, BJP, over its demand for sharing the chief minister’s post, the Sena has sought assistance from the NCP and Congress.

The concept of scopes is using scopes in css, or a simple type of scoping.If you're new to the concept of a scope, there's a large wiki article about it, but for the purpose of Scopes.scss you can think of it as a breakpoint (which is 99% of the usecases in Scopes.scss).
The idea is that every scope (breakpoint) has a different set of variables, the same variables or the same variables with different values (confused yet?).
It's easier to show than tell, so here's a simple example of how this works (not using breakpoints this time actually).
And the code for creating this green and blue line is as below:
scss/ex-one.scss
css/ex-one.css
To use Scopes you don't have to get exactly how it works to start with, it'll come. Next up is the more practical grids.

TRACE\-CMD\-SPLIT
Section: [FIXME: manual] (1)Updated: 06/22/2012
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
trace-cmd-split - split a trace.dat file into smaller filesSYNOPSIS
trace-cmd split [OPTIONS] [start-time [end-time]]
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) split is used to break up a trace.dat into small files. The start-time specifies where the new file will start at. Using trace-cmd-report(1) and copying the time stamp given at a particular event, can be used as input for either start-time or end-time. The split will stop creating files when it reaches an event after end-time. If only the end-time is needed, use 0.0 as the start-time.
If start-time is left out, then the split will start at the beginning of the file. If end-time is left out, then split will continue to the end unless it meets one of the requirements specified by the options.
OPTIONS
-i file
- If this option is not specified, then the split command will look for the file named trace.dat. This options will allow the reading of another file other than trace.dat.
-o file
-
By default, the split command will use the input file name as a basis of where to write the split files. The output file will be the input file with an attached '.#\' to the end: trace.dat.1, trace.dat.2, etc.
-
This option will change the name of the base file used.
-
-o file will create file.1, file.2, etc.
-
-s seconds
- This specifies how many seconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.
-m milliseconds
- This specifies how many milliseconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.
-u microseconds
- This specifies how many microseconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.
-e events
- This specifies how many events should be recorded before the new file should stop.
-p pages
-
This specifies the number of pages that should be recorded before the new file should stop.
-
Note: only one of *-p*, *-e*, *-u*, *-m*, *-s* may be specified at a time.
-
-r
-
This option causes the break up to repeat until end-time is reached (or end of the input if end-time is not specified).
-
trace-cmd split -r -e 10000
-
This will break up trace.dat into several smaller files, each with at most 10,000 events in it.
-
-c
-
This option causes the above break up to be per CPU.
-
trace-cmd split -c -p 10
-
This will create a file that has 10 pages per each CPU from the input.
-
