Glyph is a Rapid Document Authoring Framework.
Think of it like a sort of Ruby on Rails but for creating text documents instead of web sites. With Glyph, you can manage your documents tidily in projects that can be used to generate deliverables in different formats such as HTML or PDF (through Prince).
Glyph uses a simple macro system to perform a wide variety of advanced tasks:
head
, body
, div
and table
.gem install glyph
— simple, as always.
Glyph is 100% command line. Its interface resambles Git’s for its simplicity and power (thanks to the gli gem). Here are some example commands:
glyph init
— to initialize a new Glyph project in the current (empty) directory.glyph add introduction.textile
— to create a new file called introduction.textile.glyph compile
— to compile the current document into a single HTML file.glyph compile -f pdf
— to compile the current document into HTML and then transform it into PDF using Prince.glyph compile readme.glyph
— to compile a readme.glyph located in the current directory into a single HTML file.Format your documents using Textile or Markdown, and use Glyph Macros to do everything else:
Glyph Source:
section[header[Something about Glyph]
You can use Glyph macros in conjunction
with _Textile_ or _Markdown_ to
produce HTML files effortlessly.
section[header[What about PDFs?|pdf]
Once you have a single, well-formatted HTML
file, converting it to PDF is
extremely easy with a 3rd-party
renderer like =>[http://www.princexml.com|Prince].

Glyph was designed and developed by Fabio Cevasco (h3rald).
Special thanks to the following individuals who contributed to Glyph by reporting and fixing issues and/or proposing and implementing new features:
To install Glyph, simply run gem install glyph
, like with any other Ruby gem. Then, create a new directory and initialize a new Glyph project, like so:
mkdir
test_document
cd
test_document
glyph init
That’s it. You just created a new Glyph project in the test_document
directory.
Glyph requires the following gems:
Additionally, some Glyph macros may require additional gems, such as:
Every Glyph project is comprised of the following directories:
images/
— used to store the image files used in your document.lib/
— used to store your custom Glyph macros and Rake tasks.output/
— used to store your generated output files.styles/
— used to store your stylesheets.text/*
— used to store your source text files.Additionally, the following files are also created at top level:
config.yml
— containing your Project Configuration.document.glyph
— containing your Document Structuresnippets.yml
— containing your text snippets.Every Glyph project contains a document.glyph
file that is typically used to define the document structure. The default document.glyph
generated automatically when creating a new project is the following:
document[
head[style[default.css]]
body[
titlepage[
title[]
author[]
pubdate[]
]
frontmatter[
toc[]
preface[header[Preface]
@[preface.textile]
]
]
bodymatter[
chapter[header[Chapter #1]
@[chapter_1.textile]
]
chapter[header[Chapter #2]
@[chapter_2.textile]
]
]
backmatter[
appendix[header[Appendix A]
@[appendix_a.textile]
]
]
]
]
Even without knowing anything about Glyph Language, you can easily figure out that this file defines a document with a Table of Contents, a Preface and some Chapters. frontmatter[]
, preface[]
, chapter[]
, etc. are all Glyph macros used to define — in this case — some structural elements. In practice, this means that if you plan to generate an HTML document, they’ll be converted into

tags.
Be aware that other macros, on the other hand, are used to do something completely different, e.g.:
toc[]
generates the document’s Table of Contents@[]
or its alias include[]
is used to copy the contents of another file stored anywhere in the text/
directory.Let’s now analyze this document.glyph
more in detail.
document[]
macro wraps every other macro. This is necessary to create the initial
tag.head[]
and body[]
are used to generate the respective HTML tags. Actually, head[]
already sets some metadata for you, by default (author and copyright).head[]
, the style[]
macro is used to load the default.css
stylesheet, which is included by default the /styles
directory of every Glyph project.body[]
macro, the titlepage[]
macro is used to define (guess…) the first page of your document. title[]
, author[]
and pubdate[]
insert the title of the document, its author and the publication date (retrieved from the project’s configuration settings).frontmatter[]
, bodymatter[]
and backmatter[]
macros are used to further divide the portions of your document according to the rules of book design. They are not mandatory, but they can be used, for example, to number your appendixes with letters instead of numbers and similar.preface[]
, chapter[]
, appendix[]
are just a way to wrap content in

tags, from an HTML point of view, but they are also necessary to nest the content of your document and generate the Table of Contents automatically, together with the header[]
macro.Glyph stores configuration settings in the following YAML files:
config.yml
file, included in each Glyph Project..glyphrc
file in your $HOME (or %HOMEPATH% on Windows) directory (not created by default).When compiling, Glyph loads all these configuration files and merges them according to the following rules:
Typically, you should use the Project Configuration for all project-specific settings and the Global Configuration for settings affecting all your projects (for example, you may want to set the document.author setting in the Global Configuration instead of setting it in the Project Configuration of all your Glyph projects). The System Configuration is best left untouched.
Instead of editing your configuration settings directly, you can use the config command, as follows:
glyph config
setting [value]
If no value is specified, glyph just prints the value of the configuration setting, so typing glyph config document.author
right after creating a project (assuming you didn’t set this in the Global Configuration) will print nothing, because this setting is blank by default.
To change the value of a configuration setting, specify a value right after the setting, like this:
glyph config document.author "John Smith"
In this way, the document author will be set to John Smith for the current project. To save this setting globally, add a -g
option, like this:
glyph config -g document.author "John Smith"
Glyph attempts to “guess” the data type of a configuration values by evaluation (Kernel#instance_eval
) if the value:
"
or '
) → String
:
) → Symbol
[
and ]
) → Array
{
and }
) → Hash
Boolean
NilClass
Note that this guessing is far from being foolproof: If you type something like {:test, 2}, for example, you’ll get an error.
There are plenty of configuration settings that can be modified, but most of them are best if left alone (and in the System Configuration file).
For a complete reference, see Configuration Reference. Normally, you may just want to change the following ones:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
document.author |
The author of the document |
document.title |
The title of the document |
document.filename |
The document file name |
One of the main purposes of Glyph is streamlining text editing. Glyph accomplishes this through its own macro language that can be used in conjunction with Textile or Markdown.
 More specifically:
[
, ]
, \
, |
or spaces.[
and ]
or [=
and =]
(for more information on differences between delimiters, see Escaping and Quoting).|
. For example, the link macro can take an optional second parameter for the link text: link[#link_id|This is the link text]
.A macro can often have one or more aliases. For example, =>
is an alias for the link macro, so the following macro calls are equivalent:
=>[#test|Test Section]
link[#test|Test Section]
Glyph doesn’t require any special control characters like LaTeX, and its macro syntax is very straightforward and liberal. This however comes with a price: because square brackets are used as delimiters, you must escape any square bracket in your text with a backslash. That’s not too bad if you think about it, unless you’re writing programming code, in which case escaping every single square bracket can be painful.
If a portion of your text contains an excessive amount of square brackets, you may consider using the escape macro (or its alias .
) with the [=
and =]
delimiters. By itself, the escape macro doesn’t do anything: it just evaluates to its contents, but the special delimiters act as an escape for any square bracket within them. As a consequence, any macro within [=
and =]
will not be evaluated.
You can use the quoting delimiters with any macro identifier. Obviously, using them as delimiters for things like section macros may not be a good idea, but they should be more or less mandatory with the code macro, like this:
code[=
section[header[A section]
This is a section.
section[header[A nested section]
This is another section.
]
]
=]
NoteAlthough quoting delimiters allow you to use square brackets without escaping them, you must still escape them if you want to escape quoting delimiters themselves.
Besides square brackets, there are other characters that must or can be escaped with backslashes, as shown in the following table
| Escape Sequence | Evaluates to… | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Square brackets must be escaped unless used as macro delimiters or within a quoting macro. |
|
|
|
Square brackets must be escaped unless used as macro delimiters or within a quoting macro. |
|
|
|
Backslashes do not have to be escaped by default, but an escaped backslash will evaluate to itself. |
|
|
|
Equal signs do not have to be escaped by default, but an escaped equal sign will evaluate to iself. |
|
|
|
Pipes must be escaped (even within quoting macros) unless they are used to separate macro parameters. |
|
|
|
An escaped dot evaluates to nothing. Useful to separate macro identifiers from other characters: |
Glyph documents are normally organized as a hierarchical tree of nested chapters, appendixes, sections, etc. To define a section, use the section macro, like so:
section[
header[Section #1]
Write the section contents here...
section[
header[Section #2]
This section is nested into the previous one.
] --[End of Section #2]
] --[End of Section #1]
This example defines two nested sections, each with its own header. The header is mandatory: it will be displayed at the start of the section and in the Table of Contents.
Note an important difference from HTML: there is no explicit level for the headers, as it will be determined at runtime when the document is compiled, based on how sections are nested. The previous code snippet (taken as it is), for example, will be transformed into the following HTML code:

Section #1

Write the section contents here...

Section #2

This section is nested in the previous one

By default, in Glyph the first header level is 2, so the two headers are rendered as h2
and h3
, respectively (--[...]
macros are comments, therefore they are not included in the final output).
There are a lot of macros that can be used in the same way as section
, one for each element commonly used in Book Design. Each one of them is a simple wrapper for a

tag with a class
attribute set to its name.
The following table lists the identifiers of all section-like macros, divided according to the part of the book they should be placed in:
|
Frontmatter |
|
|
Bodymatter |
|
|
Backmatter |
|
*: The toc macro is used to generate the Table of Contents automatically, and it must be used with no contents (i.e.: toc[]
).
**: This macro is likely to be extended in future versions to generate/aggregate content automatically.
†: This section is not listed in the Table of Contents.
‡: Any subsection of this section is not listed in the Table of Contents.
Notefrontmatter
, bodymatter
and backmatter
are also valid (and mandatory!) macro identifiers, typically already included in the default document.glyph
file of every project.
If you’re authoring a user manual, a long article or a book, writing everything inside a single file (document.glyph
) may not be optimal. For this reason, Glyph provides an include macro (aliased by @
) that can be used to include the contents of any file within the text/
directory:
@[introduction.textile]
The macro call above loads the contents of the introduction.textile
file, that can be stored anywhere within the text/
directory.
NoteUnlike with image and figures that must be included with their relative path to the images/
folder, you must not specify a relative path when including text files. This is due to the fact that images are copied as they are in the output/<format>/images/
directory and they have to be linked from the output file.
A possible downside of this behavior is that file names must be unique within the entire text/
directory and any of its subdirectories
When including a text file, an input filter macro is applied to its contents by default, based on the file extension used:
TipYou can override this behavior by setting the filters.by_file_extensions
configuration setting to false
, like this:
glyph config filters.by_file_extensions false
While including the context of an entire file is definitely a useful feature for content reuse, sometimes it can be an overkill. What if, for example, you just want to reuse a short procedure or even a sentence? In this case, you may want to consider using a snippet instead.
Snippets are text strings saved in YAML format in the snippets.yml
file. They can be included anywhere in your document using the snippet macro (or its alias &
).
Consider the following snippets.yml
file:
--- :glang: Glyph Language :macros: Glyph Macros :sq_esc: |- Square brackets must be escaped unless used as macro delimiters or within a quoting macro. :markups: Textile or Markdown :test: |- This is a Test snippet
You can use &[markups]
anywhere in your document instead of having to type “Textile or Markdown” every time. Additionally, later on you can change the value of the markups
snippets only in the snippets.yml
file to change it everywhere else in the document.
TipSnippets (or any other macro) can be nested within other snippets. Glyph takes care of checking if you nested snippets or macros mutually and warns you as necessary.
Lightweight markups let you create internal and external links in a very easy way, and you can still do so in Glyph. However, if you do so:
If you care about link validation and you want to save some keystrokes, then you should use the following markup-agnostic macros:
link
(aliased to =>
) — to create internal and external links.anchor
(aliased to #
) — to create named anchors (bookmarks) within your document.The following Glyph code:
This is a link to link[#test].
...
This is link[#wrong].
This is a #[test|test anchor].
Is translated into the following HTML code:

This is a link to test anchor.

...

This is #wrong.

This is a test anchor.

Additionally, the following warning message is displayed when compiling:
warning: Bookmark 'wrong' does not exist
-> source: @: aurhoting.textile
-> path: document/body/bodymatter/chapter/@/textile/section/section/box/link
Basically, if you use the link macro and the anchor macro, Glyph makes sure that:
Besides using the anchor macro macro, you can also create an anchor for a header by passing an extra parameter to the header macro, like this: header[Header Title|my_anchor]
.
NoteAt present, link validation and automatic title retrieval only works with internal links (i.e. the check occurs if the first parameter of the link macro starts with a #
). In the future, the macro could be extended to support external links as well.
Glyph Language is not a full-blown programming language, as it does not provide control flow or variables, for example.
However, it is possible to evaluate simple ruby code snippets using the ruby
macro (aliased to %
), like this:
%[2 + 2]
→ 4%[Time.now]
→ Wed May 05 15:18:13 +0200 2010%[Glyph::VERSION]
→ 0.1.0The scope for the code evaluation is the Kernel module, (with all inclusions required by Glyph itself).
Although it is possible to retrieve Glyph configuration settings in this way (e.g. %[cfg('document.author')]
), the config macro (aliased to $
) makes things slightly simpler (e.g. $[document.author]
).
Sometimes you may want text to be included in a document only if certain conditions are satisfied. For example, you may want to display a disclaimer section only if the document is a draft (see document.draft setting), or use a particular stylesheet only if when you generate a PDF document.
To do so, you can use the condition macro (aliased by ?
), and a set of additional macros that can be used as conditional operators i.e.:
Consider the following code:
?[$[document.draft]|
This is a first draft of the Glyph Book]
?[not[$[document.draft]]|
This is the official version of the Glyph Book]
In this case, if document.draft
is set to true
, “This is a first draft of the Glyph Book” will be displayed; if not, “This is the official version of the Glyph Book” will be displayed instead.
The condition macro takes two parameters:
Note that both parameters can contain macros, of course, so you can write things like:
?[and[
eq[$[document.output]|pdf]
|
eq[$[tools.pdf_generator]|prince]
]
|
style[css3.css]]
In this case, the css3.css
stylesheet is included only when you’re generating a PDF document using Prince XML.
Conditionals are not implemented at parser level. This means that macros specified as the second parameter of a condition macro are always parsed and executed, even before that the condition is evaluated! Besides being inefficient, this can also lead to dangerous results if you’re the config: macro or the ruby macro, for example: because in that case a configuration setting or a piece of Ruby code is always executed…
To avoid this potentially dangerous side effect, you can escape the second parameter of the condition macro, like this:
?[$[document.draft]|
.[= $:[document.output|html] =]]
If you do so, if the condition is satisfied, the condition macro removes the escape from the second parameter and interprets its contents. In this way, if document.draft
is true, document.output
will be set to html
, otherwise it will be left unchanged.
The condition macro in Glyph works in a similar way as conditionals in programming languages: if the conditional expression (supplied as first parameter) is satisfied then the second parameter is executed or displayed. But when is a conditional expression satisfied? Glyph is a simple mini-language to perform text manipulation, and has no types, it can only understand text, therefore:
Same as for links, you can also include images and figures using Textile or Markdown. If you want additional features, you can use the img macro and the fig macro, as shown in the following example:
The following Glyph code:
img[glyph.svg|20%|20%]
fig[example.png|An example figure.]
Is translated into the following HTML code:

An example figure.

NoteIn future releases, figures will be numbered automatically and included in a List of Figures section.
By default, a Glyph project can be compiled into an HTML document. Additionally, Glyph can also be used to produce PDF documents through Prince, and in future releases more formats could be supported.
Currently, Glyph does not provide any native way to format text and pages. The reason is that there’s absolutely no need for that: CSS does the job just fine. In particular, CSS3 offers specific attributes and elements that can be used specifically for paginated documents. That’s no replacement for LaTeX by any means, but it is enough if you’re not looking for advanced typographical features.
You can embed CSS files using the style macro, like this:
style[default.css]
In this case, the style macro looks for a default.css
file in the /styles
folder of your Glyph project and embeds it within a

Bytecode Visitor
This package implements the visitor pattern on bytecode entities and provides a useful concrete visitor that pretty-prints a detailed document describing any bytecode entity.


When children are diagnosed with diabetes, parents often get emotionally disturbed, may feel angry, sad, upset, guilty, helpless or anxious, and worry whether they will be able to cope with the level of care that the child will need every day. Genuinely, parents need to be very involved in learning about the condition, participating in the routines and sharing management decisions. As children get older, they will learn how to care for themselves, but parents still play an important role in a child's health care team.
Living with the condition
Here are some suggestions to help children and their families adjust to a diagnosis of diabetes:
- Accept your child’s diagnosis without guilt. While no one really knows what causes type 1 diabetes, we do know it is not caused by eating too much sugar and there is nothing you could have done to prevent the disease, even if you had taken your child to see the doctor sooner.
- Learn as much as you can about diabetes. The more you learn, the less fear you will have and the more comfortable you will be in caring for your child. Your knowledge and confidence will help your child feel more secure.
- Take your child to see his or her diabetes health-care professional on a regular basis to discuss the growth, development and diabetes management of your child.
- If you have not been introduced to the pediatric diabetes team, ask for a referral. You and your child will benefit tremendously from the wisdom and experience of a nurse, dietitian, social worker and physician with expertise in pediatric diabetes.
- Make family communication a priority. The diagnosis of your child affects everyone in the family, but not everyone will respond in the same way. Talking to each other about these feelings - whether fear, sadness, anger, even jealousy - will help your family come to terms with your new life with diabetes. Do not forget to share your own emotions with someone who understands, such as another parent of a child with diabetes or your health-care professional.
- Be prepared to answer questions that people about your child’s diabetes. You might want to research some stock answers to common questions such as ‘What is diabetes?’ ‘How did he get it?’, or ‘Will she grow out of it?’ If people try to give you advice, you could answer, ‘Thank you, I’ll think about that,’ or ‘I’ve been told diabetes is very individual.’ You may sometimes receive conflicting advice from other people. Talk this through with your diabetes health professional to see how it relates specifically to your child.
- Take time for family fun.
Children with type 1 diabetes
For children to live a healthy and fulfilling life with type 1 diabetes, you need to take care of the following:
Care for the child
Testing blood glucose (sugar) and giving insulin may seem overwhelming in the beginning. As you work with your diabetes team you will learn about diabetes and become more confident. It is important that you become comfortable with caring for your child’s diabetes so that you can help your child become comfortable too.
As the caregiver of a child with type 1 diabetes, you will help them with:
- Monitoring blood glucose
- Administering insulin
- Having regular meals and healthy snacks
- Balancing food, medication and physical activity
- Recognizing the signs of low and high blood glucose
Talk to the child about diabetes
The way you talk to your child about diabetes will have a big impact on how they perceive their diabetes and themself. Being positive and supportive will help boost your child’s self-esteem.
- Talk to your child about how foods fit into a healthy lifestyle. For example, no single food should be described as “bad” or “junk.”
- Describe blood glucose levels as “in target,” “high,” or “low.” Try to avoid describing blood glucose levels as “good” or “bad.”
- Remember that diabetes is only one part of a child’s life and not the total life. Talk to your child about other important things that are happening in their life such as school, sports and social events.
Involve other caregivers
It is important that other caregivers understand your child’s diabetes and know how to care for them. Members of your child’s diabetes care team can provide education to others. Consider providing other caregivers with:
- A schedule of blood glucose monitoring times and insulin requirements
- A meal and snack plan
- A treatment plan for low blood glucose
- A treatment plan for high blood glucose
- Contact information for emergency situations
Involve the child in diabetes care
Encourage your child to be involved in their diabetes care right from the beginning. Identify reasonable tasks that your child can do for themselves. Even young children can pick which finger is to be tested and read the numbers on the meter. As they become more independent, children can take on more of a role in their diabetes care, with parental support.
Children with type 2 diabetes
Most of the children who are type 2 diabetic are from ethnic
groups at high risk for type 2 diabetes (African, Hispanic, Asian,
South Asian and Aboriginal). Over the past 20 years, type 2 diabetes in
children has increased around the world.
Many children with type 2 diabetes do not have any symptoms and are
diagnosed only when screened for other health risks related to being overweight.
Therefore, children who are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes should be
checked by their doctor every two years using a fasting blood sugar test.
Risk factors
- Being overweight or inactive
- Being a member of an ethnic group at high risk for type 2 diabetes (African, Hispanic, Asian, South Asian and Aboriginal)
- Having a family history of type 2 diabetes
- Being born to a mother who had diabetes during pregnancy
- Having any of the following:
- Dark, velvety patches of skin on the neck and under the arms (a skin condition known as acanthosis nigricans)
- High levels of fat or cholesterol in the blood
- High blood pressure
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (a condition in females that can include no menstrual periods, unusual hair growth and being overweight)
- High levels of fatty deposits in the liver
- Taking certain medications for mental health conditions
Tips for pevention
A healthy lifestyle that includes healthy eating and physical activity can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Set an example for your children by eating healthy and being physically active.
Try these lifestyle changes:
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks (pop, juice, iced tea, slushies)
- Offer healthy snack choices, such as fresh fruits and cut-up veggies
- Get moving: walk or bike whenever possible. Children should get 60 minutes of exercise daily. Examples include running, playing soccer, bike riding, swimming, dance
- Switch to lower-fat dairy products, such as 1% or skim milk
- Reduce screen time (television, computers, etc.) to no more than 2 hours per day and replace it with active play time
When children are diagnosed with diabetes, parents need to be very involved in learning about
the condition, participating in the routines at an appropriate level and sharing management decisions.
As children grow into young adults,
they need to learn the details of their condition and how to care for themselves.
For teens and young adults: learning to help yourself
Are you thinking about moving away from home to go to school or to work in a different city? Are you planning to travel, move in with friends or simply be more independent with your diabetes management?
If so, congratulations, you are taking a big step and it’s normal to have questions on what that all means while living with type 1 diabetes. In the past, it was likely very easy to consult or rely on your parents to make decisions or keep track of your diabetes. Now that you’re ready to step into adulthood,
many things are going to be your responsibility and
it’s ok to wonder how it’s all going to work.
For parents: learning to let go
As a child matures, the challenge for many families is finding the balance
between parental monitoring and teen independence. On the one hand, careful diabetes management is
vitally important to the immediate and long-term health of your child.  Even if you could take total control of your child’s diabetes (which you can’t),
teens are more likely to rebel against tight restrictions. Rather, you may want to strive
for a supporting rather than controlling role in your teen’s diabetes care. Here are some suggestions:
- Recognize how devastating diabetes can be to a teen. She wants to be carefree, and independent, just like her friends.
Instead, she feels burdened with a lifelong condition and restricted by tests and injections. Help her figure out ways to fit diabetes into her schedule; share the load where you can (e.g., help her record her blood glucose results or offer to give one of her injections each day). Look for support from your diabetes team, including the social worker. Find out if your teen is interested in joining a peer support group and where this might be available.

Find out if your teen is interested in joining a peer support group and where this might be available
- Understand, and help your teen understand, that adolescents with diabetes require more insulin as they grow and go through puberty.
This is normal. It is not a sign of worsening diabetes.
- Encourage your teen to participate in sports and other activities, which are
great for building self-esteem. Help her to figure out how to prevent low blood glucose (hypoglycemia),
which often accompanies increased activity,
by testing frequently and either reducing insulin or increasing food intake.
- Ensure that your teen understands the potentially devastating consequences that smoking,
alcohol and drugs can have for people with diabetes. If you are not comfortable talking with your
teen about these issues, be sure to ask your
diabetes professional to raise the subject with him.
- Avoid focusing on weight and body shape in your teen. Rather,
focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle for all members of the family.
Some teens discover that when they are getting inadequate amounts of insulin they lose weight.
Although the discovery may be accidental, some teens (particularly girls) are tempted to reduce or skip
their insulin repeatedly in order to lose weight. This risky behaviour leads to poor glucose management,
a risk of diabetes ketoacidosis (a life-threatening condition that arises from a serious insulin shortage) and a high risk for long-term complications. Parents who suspect this behaviour in their teen should take steps to
supervise each insulin injection while they seek the advice from their diabetes team.
- Be flexible and willing to help or step back as your teen needs.
Watch for signs that your teen is struggling with his diabetes management: signs of
high blood glucose levels (frequent urination, extreme thirst), low blood glucose episodes
(hypoglycemia), poor school attendance, depression or a significant change in behaviour.
If your child shows any of these signs, re-involve yourself in your teen’s diabetes and
talk to his diabetes professional for further advice.
- Keep the lines of communication open. Instead of nagging or criticizing, use open-ended questions that
encourage conversation. For example, ask: “How do you feel you are coping with your diabetes?”,
“What are you finding most difficult about it?”, or “What would help you now?”
With patience and a positive attitude, you can help your teen become a responsible, independent and healthy young adult.

Puppet Class: rsyslog::server::tcpwrappers
- Defined in:
- manifests/server/tcpwrappers.pp
Overview
NOTE: THIS IS A PRIVATE CLASS
Sets up TCPWrappers for RSyslog both plain TCP and TCP over TLS as necessary
NOTE: This actually opens the TCPWrappers rules for RSyslog since testing has shown that it was prone to some odd connectivity errors. Both IPTables and an internal allow list protect RSyslog connections.

This weekend R and I tried the N,N-diisopropyl-5-methoxytryptamine for the first time. It's always a bit exciting and a bit scary trying a new chemical for the first time. We were lucky to have G there as the sober sitter. I recommend this to anybody trying a new chemical or new method of ingestion.
We put the chemical in to little gel cubes, I thought that this would be the best way to insure accurate and repeatable dosage. We added 250 mg of the 5-MeO-DIPT to 200 ml of gel mixture and divided this into 64 doses of approximately 3.9 mg each. I initially took 3 cubes, which gave me approximately 12 mg of the 5meo-dipt. R took 4 cubes, for a 16 mg approximate dose.
Initial effects were felt at around T+30 minutes. We went into the spa for the initial come up phase. The first effects felt were a bit of a stony feeling, then minor distortions to my vision. There was an increase in sensuality, touch felt sooo good. After we got out of the spa, R and G went and took a shower together. I went back to my room and laid down. I felt so alone, being there by myself. I started to experience more body load, my muscles tensed up. My heart started to beat faster, I estimate at around 105 BPM. I didn't really feel like taking my blood pressure, but I will have somebody do it next time so that I can see the correlation. I put on Nine Inch Nails - Rusty Nails II. It seemed an appropriate album, but it was very dark and it didn't help my mood at all. I was soooo relieved when R and G came back, as I had started to irrationally worry about R, him being tripping and all. Once they got back all became happy again.
I don't recommend taking this drug alone. I really don't think it would be fun, be with your friends. I took lots of pictures and spent some very special time with R and G. This substance seemed to be very recreational and not very entheogenic at the dose level that I took. I wouldn't have a hard time interacting in a public place, concert etc. I plan to try this substance again, probably at around the 20 mg range.

Place the beans in a deep bowl and cover them with plenty of cold water. Leave overnight to plump up.
The next day, drain the beans and put them in a large saucepan. Add the onion, carrot and bacon to the pan. Tuck in the bay leaves, the ham bone and the garlic.
Cover completely with water and bring to the boil. Skim any froth that appears on the surface and discard it. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover then leave for an hour until the beans are almost tender.

Add the cubed pork and fry it until its edges are golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Cut the sausages in half to give eight short pieces, then brown them in the fat as you did the pork and remove.
Cook the sliced chicken in the same way and remove with a slotted spoon, before doing the same with the corned beef.
Cook the sliced onions in the duck fat for a few minutes until softenened, but not coloured. Add the garlic and tomatoes to the pan, along with the bay leaves.
Return the meats to the pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 45 minutes covered with a lid, until the liquid comes to a stew consistency.
Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquor and bacon. Discard the carrot and onion.
Cut the pork and its rind into thick strips. Chop the bacon that was cooked with the beans. Lay the meat in the bottom of a deep earthenware or enamelled cast iron casserole and cover with some of the beans.
Add a layer of the meat and onions, then another of beans. Tuck the pieces of duck in among the beans, then add more beans and meat until all is used up. Top up with any liquid from the meat and a splash of the cooking liquor from the beans.
Top with half of the breadcrumbs and transfer to the oven; cook for an hour.
Stir the cooked breadcrumbs into the cassoulet and top with the remaining crumbs. Drizzle a little of the bean liquor and a little more melted duck fat over the crumbs and return to the oven for a further half an hour or so, until the crust is golden.


A few months back, I wrote a post about implementing custom animations in Android using DiffUtil. In this post, we’ll explore how similar animations can be achieved with Apple’s SwiftUI.
Spoiler Alert: It was a breeze to implement this with SwiftUI. It was an enjoyable experience with the Preview canvas in XCode, and the framework itself is very well suited for stuff like implementing animations.
This post uses GIFs to show off videos of the animations I achieved, but GIFs don’t convey really how smooth the animations are. I encourage you to check out the code and run it on a simulator or iOS device. The code for everything in this post is here. You’ll need XCode 11 and Mac OSX Catalina to run it.
The sample app
Here’s an example of what we will achieve
This is not exactly the same as the one we ended up in the Android example, but it is close enough.
To recap, this is how it works:
- There are up to 7 colored circle views, arranged in a circle
- Some circles are “expanded”
- When you click on “Toggle”, some colored circles get removed, while others are added, and some get resized (their expansion state changes)
The model consists of 2 pre-defined lists of circle data. Clicking the toggle button simple toggles the state between these 2 lists.
Baseline: Toggling state without animations
The starting point of this experiment is toggling between 2 states, without any animation. For this, I took inspiration from this library to arrange the views in a circle. Then, all I had to do was set the color and size property of each view from the model.
On clicking the Toggle button, I update a @State var
property. All this is pretty standard.
The relevant code is in this file and here’s how this looks
Adding animations
This is where SwiftUI impresses. All I had to do was add one line to get nice default animations. Yes, you read that right. It was a one-line change to get animations out of the box.
This change is tagged here and this is what it looks like
I cannot get over how easy this was. Did you notice that we wrote zero code to find out what the diff was, zero code to tell what to insert, what to delete? Nothing. Compare this with what I had to do in the previous article on Android!
But wait, it gets better.
Custom animations
This default animation is okay, but it is not what we want. You can see that item appearance animation doesn’t look all that good. The item just fades in behind whatever was there previously.
How can we improve this? Well, again, just a handful of lines of code.
And that’s it. With these changes, you get the nice animations that you saw at the top of this post. The code is here.
Note: There seems to be a problem with the Preview Canvas in XCode. It did not show the custom animation when I tried this code. Instead, it kept showing the default animation. Don’t rely too much on the LivePreview feature, especially for animations.
Icing on the cake
If you see the post on the Android implementation, you see this disclaimer:
if you submit a list while animations for the previous diff are already in progress, it could crash
What do we need to make our SwiftUI version handle this case? What happens if an animation is in progress and you click the Toggle button again?
Well, the answer is - you guessed it - We need to do nothing. The animations are interruptible by default. If we click on the toggle button while an animation is in progress, then the next animation starts. Like this
What’s the catch?
This automagical animation feature is fine for a lot of situations, but there are still a lot of them that it might not be able to handle. For example
- Choreographing the animations: If you look at the Android example, we wanted to perform the animations in a certain order (removals first, followed by moves and finally inserts). The SwiftUI version just animates everything simultaneously. You could probably play with
asymmetric(insertion:removal:)
to impose some ordering but it would be rather limited. - Animations occur on individual items: What if you wanted the animation to occur in relation to the containing view? For example, what if you wanted to animate scrolling to a different row in a list when the currently “selected” one gets deleted? These are possible but would probably require a lot of code.
There are probably others that I’m missing.
Conclusion
SwiftUI is great for implementing animations. I had to barely write any code to achieve this pretty cool animation (it took me days to achieve the same on Android, and I’ve several years of Android experience!). However, all of this magic does come with its own limitations and it is good to be aware of them before going all-in.

rename
Rename multiple files.
NOTE: this page refers to the command from the `util-linux` package.
For the Perl version, see `file-rename` or `perl-rename`.
Warning: This command has no safeguards and will overwrite files without prompting.
More information: home page
- Rename files using simple substitutions (substitute 'foo' with 'bar' wherever found):
rename foo bar *
- Dry-run - display which renames would occur without performing them:
rename -vn foo bar *
- Do not overwrite existing files:
rename -o foo bar *
- Change file extensions:
rename home pageext home pagebak *.ext
- Prepend "foo" to all filenames in the current directory:
rename '' 'foo' *
- Rename a group of increasingly numbered files zero-padding the numbers up to 3 digits:
rename foo foo00 foo? && rename foo foo0 foo??
