APIs are an important part of modern web applications. They provide a gateway for communication between a back end server and a frontend application. APIs also provide an integration point for other applications. I come from a dotnet background but I am really interested in seeing how APIs work in other languages, so for fun I wrote basic APIs in dotnet core, go and node.
I built the APIs to cover two different methods
- GET
/add/x/to/y
which returns a JSON response{ "sum": <x + y> }
- POST
/add
which takes a list of numbers in XML<numbers><value>x</value>...</numbers>
and returns<sum>123</sum>
This gives an idea on how serialisation, routing, verbs and body processing work in each language.
dotnet
Dotnet core scaffolds a WebApi for you with the dotnet new webapi
command.
I then deleted some of the un-needed bits from the project like logging and config files. This left me with a total of 85 lines of code across 5 files to implement the basic api. This included many of the scaffolded files like the .csproj
and Startup.cs
.
The code
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "numbers")]
public class Numbers
{
[XmlElement("value")]
public int[] Values { get; set; }
}
public class AddController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
[Route("add/{x}/to/{y}")]
public IActionResult Get(int x, int y)
{
return Ok(x + y);
}
[HttpPost]
[Route("add")]
public IActionResult Post([FromBody]Numbers numbers)
{
return Ok(new { sum = numbers.Values.Sum() });
}
}
In addition I also needed to add .AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
to the ConfigureServices method in Startup.cs
to enable XML support
I find this code reasonably simple and easy to read. I like that the route information is inline however I dont find the IActionResult
return type particularly intuitive. The Serialisation is automatically handled by content type negotiation
nodejs
For the node example I started with a blank file and looked at a few tutorials to work out what I needed. The node example is a total of 42 38 lines (thanks tcoats) over two files (including the package.json
). I also added content type negotiation to the POST method (res.format()
) for another 6 lines. This is not strictly necessary for the scenario but I thought it might be nice to compare.
The code
var app = require('express')()
var xml = require('xml')
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
require('body-parser-xml')(bodyParser)
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.xml())
app.get('/add/:x/to/:y', (req, res) => {
res.json({ sum: parseInt(req.params.x) + parseInt(req.params.y) })
})
app.post('/add', (req, res) => {
var sum = req.body.numbers.value.map(parseInt).reduce((a, b) => a + b)
res.format({
xml: () => res.send(xml({sum:sum})),
json: () => res.json({sum:sum})
})
})
app.listen(8080)
I really liked the experience of writing an API in node, it was super simple and all of the serialisation was very easy. The thing I disliked the most was having to parse the int values out of strings (in both the XML and the querystring). This was annoying, if anyone knows a way to get typed stuff out on first go that would be really interesting.
Go
I was really excited about doing the Go example as I like quite a lot of the language features. Go came to a total of 48 lines with another 5 if i wanted content type negotiation. I couldnt manage to get the request body to automatically negotiate de-serialisation which was a bit of a shame but I would love to here how to do that if someone knows.
The code
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"log"
"net/http"
"strconv"
"github.com/jchannon/negotiator"
"github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter"
)
type numbers struct {
Value []int `xml:"value"`
}
type sum struct {
Sum int64 `xml:",chardata" json:"sum"`
}
func main() {
router := httprouter.New()
router.GET("/add/:x/to/:y", func(responseWriter http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request, params httprouter.Params) {
x, _ := strconv.ParseInt(params.ByName("x"), 10, 64)
y, _ := strconv.ParseInt(params.ByName("y"), 10, 64)
if err := negotiator.Negotiate(responseWriter, request, sum{x + y}); err != nil {
http.Error(responseWriter, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
})
router.POST("/add", func(responseWriter http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request, params httprouter.Params) {
decoder := xml.NewDecoder(request.Body)
var payload numbers
err := decoder.Decode(&payload)
if err != nil {
http.Error(responseWriter, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
defer request.Body.Close()
var total int64
for val := range payload.Value {
total += int64(val)
}
if err := negotiator.Negotiate(responseWriter, request, sum{total}); err != nil {
http.Error(responseWriter, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
})
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router))
}
I was the least happy with how this code turned out. The serialisation stuff was difficult to do, especially in comparison to node. I also find the code to be much less succinct than either of the other languages. I expect this could be alleviated if I knew a few more libraries to help with these things. Its also important to note that this was my very first go program, whereas I have quite a bit of experience with both c# and client-side javascript.
Rust (thanks@Kazetsukai)
I know absolutely nothing about rust (before today), so fun times.
Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.
The rust example is 42 lines without content type negotiation (including the config files required).
#![feature(plugin)]
#![plugin(rocket_codegen)]
extern crate rocket;
extern crate elementtree;
#[macro_use] extern crate rocket_contrib;
use rocket::data::Data;
use rocket_contrib::{JSON, Value};
use elementtree::Element;
#[get("/add/<x>/to/<y>")]
fn add_json(x: i32, y: i32) -> JSON<Value> {
JSON(json!({ "sum": (x+y) }))
}
#[post("/add", data = "<numbers>")]
fn add_xml(numbers: Data) -> String {
let root = Element::from_reader(numbers.open()).unwrap();
let sum : i32 = root.find_all("value").map(|e| e.text().parse::<i32>().unwrap()).sum();
let mut result = Element::new("sum");
result.set_text(sum.to_string());
return result.to_string().unwrap();
}
fn main() {
rocket::ignite().mount("/", routes![add_json, add_xml]).launch();
}
I find looking a the code the JSON GET example is very elegant and simple, less so the XML POST example. The routing is also super cool, you decorate a function with its route information and then just pass a list of functions to the server. That is super succinct. The performance of the rust service was also amazing being the fastest code example. However the service was not very stable, if I made more concurrent requests than there were cores on the machine the service went into some kind of deadlock, which is pretty poor. Rocket recommends putting the API behind NGINX which would prevent this issue. The tooling support was also much lower than for the other languages. I couldnt get a debugger to work at all, though there are some that are available. This means it wasn’t launchable from VS Code.
Performance
To get a better idea of the differences between the languages I wrote a load tester which hits each APIs /add/x/to/y
method with a million requests. Just for fun I wrote this in Go which gave me a bit of a chance to play with the concurrency features such as channels.
| Median | Mean | Max | Total time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| go | 0.21ms | 0.22ms | 151.7ms | 28.1s |
| nodejs | 0.80ms | 0.97ms | 34.34ms | 123.3s |
| dotnet | 0.39ms | 0.43ms | 1045.2ms | 54.5s |
| rust | 0.20ms | 0.21 | 8.73ms | 27.9s |
There are a couple of points of interest in this data
nodejs total time
Node is inherently single threaded, I was hitting the api with concurrent load which is why the total time was so long. I did some research and there are a few ways to get around this, either run a load balancer across multiple instances (which would make sense if this was a docker process) or run a node cluster which is essentially a single machine load balancer across processes.
A single instance of Node.js runs in a single thread. To take advantage of multi-core systems the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node.js processes to handle the load.
The cluster module allows easy creation of child processes that all share server ports.
dotnet max time
Dotnet processes perform a process called JIT (Just In Time compilation) which lazy loads code components as they are required, theres a great article about how this works here. This means that on first request the process is loading modules into memory and performing compilation. This affects the first request on dotnet processes. There are ways of getting around this such as heating the process on deploy or using NGen to produce a native binary that doesn’t require JIT.
Conclusions
I ran this test on both my Windows box (i7) and my macbook (i5) both gave similar proportional results, however the timer resolution for go on windows is very low (0.5ms) which didn’t give as useful figures. As expected Go and rust were the fastest followed by dotnet and nodejs.

Man threatened to set fire to nightclub because it didn't sell Red Bull
by James CoxA man has been jailed after he threatened to burn down a nightclub because it didn't sell Red Bull.
Michael Day, 38, screamed: "I'm going to burn every last one of you."
Shush nightclub in Wantage, Oxfordshire, had to be evacuated due to the incident.
Day was set to stand trial for the incident but later admitted to attempted arson and two counts of making threats to kill.
He flew into a rage after bar staff had served him an alternative drink, as they didn't sell Red Bull, on April 28, heard Oxford Crown Court.
Day was thrown out of the club after becoming aggressive.
He went home before returning to the club, where CCTV footage showed him armed with a 20-litre white plastic container party filled with petrol.
He was seen throwing it towards the door and launching himself in the path of the door staff.
Petrol was spilt on the ground and on staff members' clothing before Day flicked a lighter and screamed death threats, the court heard.
Day had a cigarette in his mouth at the time and also shouted racist abuse towards one worker and threatened to burn the nightclub down.
As the smell of the fumes wafted inside the club, all 177 punters had to be evacuated.
After being arrested, Day told police he had drank up to seven bottles of Corona and didn't really intend to start a fire, simply aiming to 'scare people'.
Day's barrister said he couldn't remember the incident.
Judge Maria Lamb jailed him for five years and two months over the "terrifying" incident.

Anniversary
John Finucane launches booklet in Dundalk
County Library
by David LynchThe son of murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane was in Dundalk on Saturday to launch a booklet written by Louth TD Gerry Adams about the lawyer.
John Finucane, who is mayor of Belfast, took time out from canvassing in the Westminster election, to join Mr Adams at the County Library in Dundalk for the event, which was chaired by Cllr. Ruairí Ó Murchú.
The booklet includes speeches from John Finucane and his sister, Katherine, along with a contribution from Mr Adams, and an introduction by Joe Austin, which were part of an event in Belfast marking the 30th anniversary of the murder, marked earlier this year.
It sets out in detail the political context of Pat Finucane’s murder, the role of the RUC and RUC Special Branch, the British Army’s Force Reconnaissance Unit and British agents operating within the unionist paramilitary Ulster Defence Association.
The Sinn Féin TD, who compiled ‘Pat Finucane 30th Anniversary – A Community Reflects’, told the large audience at the library about how the solicitor represented hunger striker Bobby Sands and how the Finucane family’s quest for justice is now entering its fourth decade.
John, who is running in North Belfast in the upcoming British general election, spoke powerfully about how his father was murdered while the family sat eating their dinner at their kitchen table on February 12 1989.
He praised his mother, Geraldine, who was also shot during the attack, for her tenacity in raising three children and leading the family’s campaign for justice. John gave an outline of the path the family’s quest for answers has taken and how it continues.
Mr Finucane and Mr Adams spent almost an hour signing copies of the booklet for audience members.


>From Dr Silver timi.. 120,Paul Kruger Street, Boksburg South, Johannesburg Province. Republic of South Africa Dear Sir, RE: TRANSFER OF $ 26,000.000.00 USD (ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLAR) I am Dr Silver timi.the Auditor General of prime banks here South Africa, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will beforfeited for nothing. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.  My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and that Mr. Howard Sweeney until his death was the manager Sweeney Coy.(pty). SA. We will start the first transfer with six million dollars [$6,000,000.00] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. The amount involved is (USD 26M) Twenty six million United States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $6,000.000 [Six million United States Dollar] from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't know any foreigner. I am revealing this to you with believein God that you will never let me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this business proposition. With my influence and the position of a bank official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring. I look forward to your earliest response. Best Regards, Dr Silver Timi. _________________________________________________________________ Looking for that special gift?

Notes |
From Ursula K. Le Guin's novel
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia (1974)—
Chapter One
"There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary. But the idea was real. It was important. For seven generations there had been nothing in the world more important than that wall.
Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on."
Note—
"We note that the phrase 'instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry' is mere fatuousness. If there is an idea here, degenerate, mere, and geometry in concert do not fix it.
– Samuel R. Delany, The Jewel-Hinged Jaw: Notes on the Language of Science Fiction (Dragon Press, 1977), page 110 of revised edition, Wesleyan University Press, 2009
(For the phrase mere geometry elsewhere, see a note of April 22. The apparently flat figures in that note's illustration "Galois Affine Geometry" may be regarded as degenerate views of cubes.)
Later in the Le Guin novel—
"… The Terrans had been intellectual imperialists, jealous wall builders. Even Ainsetain, the originator of the theory, had felt compelled to give warning that his physics embraced no mode but the physical and should not be taken as implying the metaphysical, the philosophical, or the ethical. Which, of course, was superficially true; and yet he had used number, the bridge between the rational and the perceived, between psyche and matter, 'Number the Indisputable,' as the ancient founders of the Noble Science had called it. To employ mathematics in this sense was to employ the mode that preceded and led to all other modes. Ainsetain had known that; with endearing caution he had admitted that he believed his physics did, indeed, describe reality.
Strangeness and familiarity: in every movement of the Terran's thought Shevek caught this combination, was constantly intrigued. And sympathetic: for Ainsetain, too, had been after a unifying field theory. Having explained the force of gravity as a function of the geometry of spacetime, he had sought to extend the synthesis to include electromagnetic forces. He had not succeeded. Even during his lifetime, and for many decades after his death, the physicists of his own world had turned away from his effort and its failure, pursuing the magnificent incoherences of quantum theory with its high technological yields, at last concentrating on the technological mode so exclusively as to arrive at a dead end, a catastrophic failure of imagination. Yet their original intuition had been sound: at the point where they had been, progress had lain in the indeterminacy which old Ainsetain had refused to accept. And his refusal had been equally correct– in the long run. Only he had lacked the tools to prove it– the Saeba variables and the theories of infinite velocity and complex cause. His unified field existed, in Cetian physics, but it existed on terms which he might not have been willing to accept; for the velocity of light as a limiting factor had been essential to his great theories. Both his Theories of Relativity were as beautiful, as valid, and as useful as ever after these centuries, and yet both depended upon a hypothesis that could not be proved true and that could be and had been proved, in certain circumstances, false.
But was not a theory of which all the elements were provably true a simple tautology? In the region of the unprovable, or even the disprovable, lay the only chance for breaking out of the circle and going ahead.
In which case, did the unprovability of the hypothesis of real coexistence– the problem which Shevek had been pounding his head against desperately for these last three days. and indeed these last ten years– really matter?
He had been groping and grabbing after certainty, as if it were something he could possess. He had been demanding a security, a guarantee, which is not granted, and which, if granted, would become a prison. By simply assuming the validity of real coexistence he was left free to use the lovely geometries of relativity; and then it would be possible to go ahead. The next step was perfectly clear. The coexistence of succession could be handled by a Saeban transformation series; thus approached, successivity and presence offered no antithesis at all. The fundamental unity of the Sequency and Simultaneity points of view became plain; the concept of interval served to connect the static and the dynamic aspect of the universe. How could he have stared at reality for ten years and not seen it? There would be no trouble at all in going on. Indeed he had already gone on. He was there. He saw all that was to come in this first, seemingly casual glimpse of the method, given him by his understanding of a failure in the distant past. The wall was down. The vision was both clear and whole. What he saw was simple, simpler than anything else. It was simplicity: and contained in it all complexity, all promise. It was revelation. It was the way clear, the way home, the light."

Half-life: Alyx is designed to run on the minimum GPU spec for last-gen VR
by Jacob RidleyThe minimum specs for Half-life: Alyx have been revealed. Valve’s “killer VR app”, a prequel set between the events of Half-life and Half-life 2, is available across Steam VR-compatible headsets and will require just the bare minimum of last-gen mainstream graphics card grunt in order to run.
Half-Life: Alyx will only be available to play in VR, and could single-handedly sell more VR headsets than all other games on the platform put together. If you rank among the fans waiting patiently for over a decade, and are perhaps a little worried for your gaming PC’s aptitude for VR, don’t fret. Valve has published the minimum spec for its upcoming Half-life game and they are none too distressing for even modest rigs built in the past few years.
Starting with the graphics card, you’ll need an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 580 8GB minimum in order to boot Half-Life: Alyx with any hope of reasonable frame rates, according to the Steam store page. We don’t yet know what performance these mainstream cards will net you in-game. That will depend on the refresh rate your chosen virtual reality headset is capable of. For example, the Valve Index is capable of up to 144Hz across its twin panels – thirsty work for even the best graphics cards.
The RX 580 and GTX 1060 are some of the most populous cards on the market today according to the Steam Hardware Survey.
AMD’s RX 590 is currently cheaper than ever for Black Friday at $180 (£150).
You will also have to purchase a VR headset if you haven’t already. All of the best VR headsets will support Half-life: Alyx, which supports SteamVR across the board. That includes the Valve Index, HTC Vive Cosmos, Oculus Rift S, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
An Intel Core i5 7500 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is recommended for Half-Life: Alyx. That’s a quad-core Intel chip, or a six-core, 12-thread AMD chip.
| Half-life: Alyx | |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 7500 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 |
| GPU | GTX 1060 6GB / RX 580 8GB |
| RAM | 12GB |
You can read the complete minimum and recommended specs below, or head over to System Requirements Lab to find out if your PC is up to the task.
Valve is definitely hoping to drive further sales of its flagship VR headset, the Index, with Half-life: Alyx. It’s introduced bonuses for Valve Index owners and anyone who purchases before 2019 – including skins, CS:GO content, and SteamVR environments.
As if Half-life fans needed any other excuse to play the closest game to Half-Life 3 in over a decade…

MPs' call for more pay gets public sympathy
20 Nov 2019
GEORGIA JOHNSON: “My MP doesn't do one thing for my community so him nuh need any more. Him need a cut. Right now the road fix inna my community and is the community members come together and do it. Every other Saturday we buy material and we fix it. We used to see more of the MP before this one. Whether it be back-toschool, Christmas, Easter time, all of dem time deh. Even if is not a holiday she would come and check up. We nuh have that from the current MP.” (Photos: Joseph Wellington)
AJAH LINDSAY: “It depends on what they are doing with the money because $300,000 is not money. Them track record fi determine them pay.”
RAYMOND FORREST: “If they were to use the money in a better way, which is to not encourage dependency and handouts, that money would easily carry them through. If they encourage independency they don’t need to use the money to do other things.”
ETHAN WILLIAMS: “Yes, they can get a little more, but only if they spend it wisely.”
GEORGE MCDONALD: “If it is that they are taking money from the salary to help others, then yes, they could get more pay, because $300,000 cyaan feed the whole heap a hungry belly pickney dem.”
LACEY HENRY: “If they are really using the money the way they say they are, then they could get an increase.”
RALSTON WILLIAMS: “Maybe they could get a little more, because, like they said, they have to give people money out of it.”
A number of Jamaicans surveyed in the capital city yesterday have given conditional agreement to the call by some Members of Parliament (MPs) that they deserve more pay.
The Jamaica Observer sought the opinion of the public following this week's Sunday Observer lead story in which several MPs lamented that their monthly salary of approximately $300,000 cannot suffice, as they have to use the money to support their families and help their constituents.

These three properties provide the foundation for the box model of html elements; we define their dimensions and this allows us to space elements as we wish. The following diagram provides some insight into how this model works.
The innermost property of the box model, besides the content, is the padding, a transparent layer around an html element that gives it some initial seperation from other elements. If an element has no border, we can simply use padding in order to give it some empty space between other elements. Just as with margin, we can use either pixels or em (a scale unit of measurement between different platforms) to define just how big we want our padding to be. Another common property between the two is that we can define padding dimnesions all in one line, with the numbers representing top, right, bottom, and left, in that order. The follwing code gives an example:
p { padding: 1px 5px 10px 5px; }Or we can identify each uniquely with the tags padding-top, padding-right, etc.
p { padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 5px; }Next is the border, which surrounds the padding and of course the element itself. We can color and stylize this property in order to give our elements a visual outline. This tag has more properties than its neighbors, we can define border-width, border-style, and border-color. Thankfully these names are all self-explanatory! There are a myriad of ways to define these properties, so it's probably best to do some research on your own to find out the all of them, but there is one I would like to talk about. The shorthand property for border allows us to define border-width,-style, and -color, in that order. I provide an example in the following code.
p { border: 2px dotted blue; }It really is that easy to define our borders.
Similar to how the padding gives the element space, the margin gives the border seperation from other borders or elements, if we wish. The coding has an identical style to padding, so look at the examples from earlier and simply replace "padding" with "margin" to begin experimenting with giving margins to your elements!

A version control system, or VCS, tracks the history of changes as people and teams collaborate on projects together. As the project evolves, teams can run tests, fix bugs, and contribute new code with the confidence that any version can be recovered at any time. Developers can review project history to find out:
Git is an example of a distributed version control system (DVCS) commonly used for open source and commercial software development. DVCSs allow full access to every file, branch, and iteration of a project, and allows every user access to a full and self-contained history of all changes.
Without version control, team members are subject to redundant tasks, slower timelines, and multiple copies of a single project. To eliminate unnecessary work, Git and other VCSs give each contributor a unified and consistent view of a project, surfacing work that’s already in progress. Seeing a transparent history of changes, who made them, and how they contribute to the development of a project helps team members stay aligned while working independently.
According to the latest Stack Overflow developer survey, more than 70 percent of developers use Git, making it the most-used VCS in the world. Git is commonly used for both open source and commercial software development, with significant benefits for individuals, teams and businesses.
A repository, or Git project, encompasses the entire collection of files and folders associated with a project, along with each file’s revision history. The file history appears as snapshots in time called commits, and the commits exist as a linked-list relationship, and can be organized into multiple lines of development called branches. Because Git is a DVCS, repositories are self-contained units and anyone who owns a copy of the repository can access the entire codebase and its history. Using the command line or other ease-of-use interfaces, a git repository also allows for: interaction with the history, cloning, creating branches, committing, merging, comparing changes across versions of code, and more.
To use Git, developers use specific commands to copy, create, change, and combine code. These commands can be executed directly from the command line or by using an application like GitHub Desktop or Git Kraken. Here are some common commands for using Git:
git init
initializes a brand new Git repository and begins
tracking an existing directory. It adds a hidden subfolder within the existing directory that houses the
internal data structure required for version control.git clone
creates a local copy of
a project that already exists remotely. The clone includes all the project’s files, history,
and branches.git add
stages a change. Git tracks changes to a
developer’s codebase, but it’s necessary to stage and take a snapshot of the changes to
include them in the project’s history. This command performs staging, the first part of that
two-step process. Any changes that are staged will become a part of the next snapshot and a part of the
project’s history. Staging and committing separately gives developers complete control over the
history of their project without changing how they code and work.git commit
saves the snapshot to the project history and
completes the change-tracking process. In short, a commit functions like taking a photo. Anything
that’s been staged with git add will become a part of the snapshot with git commit.git status
shows the status of changes as untracked, modified,
or staged.git branch
shows the branches being worked on locally.
git merge
merges lines of development together. This command is
typically used to combine changes made on two distinct branches. For example, a developer would merge
when they want to combine changes from a feature branch into the main branch for deployment.git pull
updates the local line of development with updates from
its remote counterpart. Developers use this command if a teammate has made commits to a branch on a
remote, and they would like to reflect those changes in their local environment.git push
updates the remote repository with any commits made
locally to a branch.Learn more from a full reference guide to Git commands.
GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere.
This guide teaches you GitHub essentials like repositories, branches, commits, and Pull Requests. You’ll create your own Hello World repository and learn GitHub’s Pull Request workflow, a popular way to create and review code.
To complete this tutorial, you need a GitHub account and Internet access. You don’t need to know how to code. Installation of Git (the version control software GitHub is built on) is necessary. Some knowledge about command line will be a plus.
A repository is usually used to organize a single project. Repositories can contain folders and files, images, videos, spreadsheets, and data sets – anything your project needs. I would recommend including a README, or a file with information about your project. GitHub makes it easy to add one at the same time you create your new repository. It also offers other common options such as a license file.
Your hello-world repository can be a place where you store ideas, resources, or even share and discuss things with others.
Click Create repository.
When you create a repository on GitHub, it exists as a remote repository. You can clone your repository to create a local copy on your computer and sync between the two locations.
You can clone a repository from GitHub to your local computer to make it easier to fix merge conflicts, add or remove files, and push larger commits. When you clone a repository, you copy the repository from GitHub to your local machine.
Cloning a repository pulls down a full copy of all the repository data that GitHub has at that point in time, including all versions of every file and folder for the project. You can push your changes to the remote repository on GitHub, or pull other people's changes from GitHub.
You can clone your existing repository or clone another person's existing repository to contribute to a project.

Branching is the way to work on different versions of a repository at one time.
By default your repository has one branch named main
which is considered to be the definitive
branch. We use
branches to experiment and make edits before committing them to main
.
When you create a branch off the main
branch, you’re making a copy, or snapshot, of
main
as it was at that point
in time. If someone else made changes to the main
branch while you were working on your branch, you
could pull
in those updates.
Following diagram shows:
main
branchfeature
(because we’re doing ‘feature work’ on this branch)feature
takes before it’s merged into main
Have you ever saved different versions of a file? Something like:
Branches accomplish similar goals in GitHub repositories.
git branch BRANCH-NAME
This will create a new branch. But before you start making changes to your code, you will have to first switch to the new branch you just created.
git checkout BRANCH-NAME
Many developers, especially when they’re just getting started, forget switching to the new branch. That’s why you can use this command that will create the new branch and immediately switch you to it:
git checkout -b BRANCH-NAME
Once you’ve created a new branch and switched to it, you can start making changes in your code. However, all of these changes (including the new branch) is still only in your local machine.
git push -u https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY BRANCH-NAME>
Bravo! Now, you’re on the code view for your new branch, which is a copy of main
. Let’s make some
edits.
On GitHub, saved changes are called commits. Each commit has an associated commit message, which is a description explaining why a particular change was made.
Nice edits! Now that you have changes in a branch off of main, you can open a pull request.
Pull Requests are the heart of collaboration on GitHub. When you open a pull request, you’re proposing your changes and requesting that someone review and pull in your contribution and merge them into their branch. Pull requests show diffs, or differences, of the content from both branches. The changes, additions, and subtractions are shown in green and red.
As soon as you make a commit, you can open a pull request and start a discussion, even before the code is finished.
You can even open pull requests in your own repository and merge them yourself. It’s a great way to learn the GitHub flow before working on larger projects.
git pull
and then commit & push those changes as well.git status
you will be getting output like this
Output
On branch BRANCH-NAME
nothing to commit, working tree clean
As you have all changes commited to your branch and your branch is also pushed to remote repository. Let's create the pull request.

"NEPHTOAH "opened, a fountain and a stream issuing from it on the border between Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:8, 9; 18:15). It has been identified with ‘Ain Lifta, a spring about 2 1/2 miles north-west of Jerusalem. Others, however, have identified it with ‘Ain’ Atan, on the south-west of Bethlehem, whence water is conveyed through “Pilate’s aqueduct” to the Haram area at Jerusalem.

java.lang.Object java.io.Reader java.io.FilterReader org.apache.sling.scripting.javascript.io.EspReader
public class EspReader
The EspReader
is a FilterReader
which takes
JSP like input and produces plain ECMA script output. The filtering
modifications done on the input comprise the following :
The nice thing about this reader is, that the line numbers of the resulting stream match the line numbers of the matching contents of the input stream. Due to the insertion of write() calls, column numbers will not necessarily match, though. This is especially true if you mix ECMA code tags (<% %>) with template text on the same line.
For maximum performance it is advisable to not create the EspReader with a plain FileReader or InputStreamReader but rather with a BufferedReader based on one of the simpler Readers. The reasons for this is, that we call the base reader character by character. This in turn is not too performing if the base reader does not buffer its input.

Werwolf
Werwolf
You gain the following traits after being cursed: The character gains a Strength of 15 if his or her score isn't already higher (If it's higher, then gain +1 Frz) The character becomes proficient with Perception and Stealth skills.
Cursed
The character is cursed with the curse of lycanthropy, and has 3 alternatives to choose: Embrace the curse. The infected character becomes chaotic evil and only thinks in killing to satisfy his hunger and lust for blood. Will put his own desires first of everything and will partner with others like him only if extremely necessary for his survival.
Fight the curse. The infected character doesn't want to change and tries to avoid transforming.  Each time the character kills a creature or has less than 10 HP, he must succeed a Wisdom saving throw (DC 10 + Bloodlust counter) or transform himself and go on a rampage.
Master the curse. If the infected character manages to avoid transforming during 3 full moons, he has mastered the curse and it's able to transform at will (transform to hybrid form is a bonus action, transform to Wolf is a full action). Each time the character kills 5 creatures before a short rest or has less than 2 HP, he must succeed a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + Bloodlust counter) or transform himself and go on a rampage.
 If you succeed 2 saving throws on a row, clear all Bloodlust counters.
Hybrid Form
+1 AC (natural armor)
Damage Immunities. bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non magical weapons that aren't silvered Keen Hearing and Smell. The werewolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Multiattack. The werewolf makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack (Str), reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (1d8 + Frz) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy. Claws. Melee Weapon Attack (Str), reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: (2d4 + Frz) slashing damage.

Saving Private Ryan (1998) 4 stars out of 4
Saving Private Ryan is a brilliant, savage piece of filmmaking, a soaring paean to the courage of man - as individual and as family.
And director Steven Spielberg, with the aid of cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and film editor Michael Kahn, has created the most intense, riveting 30 minutes of combat footage in the history of cinema.
Silence, except for the fluttering of a pale, ghostlike flag, greets you at the outset of this marvelous movie. The prologue follows a World War II veteran as he shuffles through the allied cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy.
The movie then flashes back to D-Day, June 6, 1944. And here the audience's senses and emotions are bombarded with the sights and sounds of war.
A chaotic choreography of carnage is what Spielberg and his team have thrown at us. Kaminski's hand-held camera darts through the death and destruction, capturing moments of terror, confusion, fright and most of all blood.
It's everywhere. Death comes unexpectedly, swiftly, randomly. Spielberg spares none of the horror that was D-Day.
The documentary-style footage will make you wince and perhaps turn away. These battle scenes are stomach-churning in their realism. And the film's main story has not yet begun.
As the GIs earn a toehold on the beach and methodically begin decimating the German bunkers, Kaminski's camera slowly pans back down the beach, lingering on a dead GI named Ryan.
It is that image that propels the plotline of Saving Private Ryan. The dead Ryan was one of three brothers killed.
A fourth brother, a paratrooper who was dropped into France the night before the invasion, is believed to still be alive somewhere behind enemy lines.
The big brass in Washington, with equal parts of mercy and attempts to avoid a PR disaster, order that this fourth brother, James Francis Ryan, be found and returned stateside.
Ranger Capt. John Miller (Tom Hanks), who survived the D-Day invasion with only a few of his men, draws the assignment of finding this needle in a very huge haystack.
Spielberg deftly establishes the moral dilemma faced by Miller and his squad. Why is this Ryan so special? Why does his right to go home outweigh anyone else's? How does finding him aid the war effort? Is it worth risking and possibly sacrificing the lives of others just to find one man?
As the film progresses, these questions are answered.
Saving Private Ryan is not your gung-ho, John Wayne-Randolph Scott war movie. These GIs' main focus is not defeating the enemy so much as staying alive and returning home. If finding Ryan will achieve that goal quicker, then so be it.
The men in Miller's squad do what GIs have done since the beginning of warfare. They gripe, second-guess their superiors and insult each other. Yet, when thrown into battle, they are a unit, protecting their brother-in-arms.
Hanks gives a sterling performance as Miller. He is low-key, a bit mysterious (his squad has created a continually growing pool trying to guess what the captain does in civilian life) and very much frightened.
Despite his fears - his hand continually shakes - and his doubts about their mission, Miller leads his men on, at times either cajoling, bullying or sweet-talking them forward. Hanks ably embodies the Everyman-ordinary of warfare. He is no professional soldier.
Miller and his men eventually find Ryan, portrayed by Matt Damon as a sturdy and willful young soldier.
Among the other cast members, Tom Sizemore is wise, tough and compassionate as Sgt. Horvath, Miller's second-in-command. Jeremy Davies as Cpl. Upham, the translator drafted by Miller to leave the safe confines of the now-secure beach and possibly come face-to-face with the enemy, represents us, the audience. He is constantly scared, recoiling at every sound, avoiding combat at any cost.
Saving Private Ryan is a magnificent achievement. It shows Spielberg as a more mature filmmaker, a man willing to gamble. How else do you explain why he uses what could be the grand finale of any other film as the opening gambit to cast the audience into the story and its characters?
This is not a movie for the squeamish. Spielberg refuses to compromise. Death is not pretty. With an unblinking eye, the director shows the misery, the horror, the tragedy and the human toll of war.
But the movie's magic is that, while it does not glorify war, it glorifies its reluctant warriors, not because they are heroic, but because they trudge on and do their duty, overcoming their fears and own instincts for survival.
Saving Private Ryan is an unrelenting, emotional experience that deserves its "R" rating. Yet it's a movie that young adults should see with their grandfathers who served in World War II to better comprehend and understand their sacrifices.
In Act IV, Scene III of Henry V, Shakespeare had King Henry deliver a speech to rouse his troops. Part of it went like this:
He that outlives this day and comes safe home Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is named ... And gentlemen ... now abed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap ...
There is no comparison between the battle of Agincourt and the beaches of Normandy. But that special bond that is forged and exists between men who have walked through the gates of hell and returned, must be timeless and universal.
And that is the majesty and power of Saving Private Ryan, for it has captured that camaraderie and shown it to us in all its horrifying brutality and spiritual splendor.

The timeline is written in pure Javascript. There is a GWT wrapper written that enables you to use the Timeline from within GWT (Google Web Toolkit). This page explains how the sourcecode is built up. For detailed information about all functions, one can use the JsDoc reference pages.
The sourcecode of the Timeline is in one javascript file, timeline.js
.
The file contains a class Timeline
, which is defined in the
namespace links
.
All important local variables and constants are defined in the constructor.
The constructor requires a parameter with teh container element inside which
Timeline will be created.
The constructor calls the function create()
. This function creates
a frame element. Inside the frame, a canvas is created. The html elements for
the axis and the events are added to the canvas.
After the Timeline is constructed, it can be filled and drawn via the function
draw(data, options)
. The parameter data
is a DataTable which
contains the events. options
is an optional name-value map containing
settings for the timeline such as startDate, endDate, widht, height, layout.
The function draw()
loads the data, draws the axis, and draws the
events.
The Timeline can be moved by dragging it. When moving the Timeline, the canvas is moved inside the frame. To prevent the user from seeing an undrawn area when moving, the actual with of the canvas is three times the width of the screen, and only the middle part is visible. After the mouse button is up again, the the whole timeline is redrawn again. When zooming, the timeline is redrawn after each zoom action. This is needed because the axis changes and possibly the scale too.
