I was having a pretty crappy Saturday. All my friends were up at their cabins while I was sitting at home watching tv. I realized something needed to be done or I would go insane with boredom. So I went to taco bell (yea pretty sad I know). After eating I went to this gardening shop because it was mothers day and my mom is an avid gardener so I wanted to pick something out for her. I remembered reading somewhere that you could trip on Morning Glory, being the pecemist and non believer I am I grabbed 4 packs of the stuff. I couldn't remember which ones you should get for the best high so I just grabbed the ones with the coolest sounding names, Pearly Gates, and Flying Saucers.
It was around 8:00 PM when I got home from my journey to taco bell. I am a very lazy person so I didnt want to wait an hour to do the extracting method so I threw all 225 seeds into a coffee grinder and ground them to an extremely fine powder. I took the powder and poured it into a big glass of lemonade. I thought to my self ok its just one big chug... GO. I chugged it down as fast as I could and put the glass down. Much to my shugrin most of the pulp stuck to the bottom so I filled the glass again with coke and got it all down this time.
About 10 minutes after my stomach felt tight and a little queazy. So I went into the living room and turned on comedy central. On it was possibly the worst movie ever, the sweetest thing. After watching for about ten minutes my stomach hurt from laughter. I knew this wasn't normal laughter because that movie is terrible, so I knew something was up. Nobody was home at the time so I could laugh like a moron by myself. About 30 minutes after I had drank the stuff my mom, dad, and brother came home, so I thought to myself I better go to bed before they think something funny is going on. So about 50 minutes after drinking the stuff I went up to my room.
 I felt my whole body getting a feeling of numbness. At this point it was worth the 4 dollars and 50 cents. Everything felt so soothing. Then my mind started to wander. I couldn't believe how easy it was to 'remember' everything I saw on tv. I could connect to my past experiences. It started raining heavily and there was some lightning too. I opened my drapes and went back to my bed. I stared at that lightning storm for ten minutes, I thought about how beautiful some things are that sometimes I miss when I am inside. I stood up and went to the window and I could see the flashing lightning outside but I also saw the flashing of the tv behind me. I thought tv is only a lightning storm with color. It has all the same flashy lights but it is just disguised as pictures.
This is about 2 hours into my trip, I remember every time I would breathe I could hear it differently and I would sometimes moan unknowingly and uncontrolably. At this point I had to pee so I got up and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and everything was just different. It was like looking at myself in another dimension, I could see things that I wouldnt have noticed before, and everything had a great glow to it. I finished peeing and went out into the hall. There is a mirror in the hall that I looked into closely. My pupils were stretched to the outer rim of my cornea (thats the colored part) there was just a little circle of blue surrounded by a pool of black I stared into that mirror for 5 minutes just thinking. Thinking about the past and thinking about what will happen in the future.
I went back into my room and turned on comedy central and it was liza lampanelli. I watched her for two hours. It was only a one hour show but it was repeated after the first one ended. I couldnt tell when it ended, everything seemed to run together in a perfect contineum. I looked over at my wall and it started to slowly melt away into nothingness. I closed my eyes and saw the most beautiful strings of color everything had great simplicity to it. I was getting tired so I slowly drifted off and had the best sleep in years.
That concludes my great experience with this great substance. And it wont be my last.

Overview IMC V2
Principle of Operation
The IMC checks the compatibility of the module-module interface.
The specifications and declarations of global elements must fit together.
The declaration may occur in the PROBLEM-part as well as in the SYSTEM-part.
By default, all elements in the sytem part are global.
In order to complete the job, the IMC reads the module interace definition, which is created
by the compiler as a XML-file with the same name as the compiled module.
This XML-file contains information about
- the system part with the definition of
- dations
- signals
- interrupts
- configuration
- the problem part with lkklk
- definition of global elements like
- tasks
- procedures
- variables
- specifications of system part definitions
- specifications of global elements from other modules
(system part elements and problem part elements)
The IMC creates dictionaries with the name and the location in the DOM-tree of
the elements. Some other attributes for simple access enrich the entries
like line number of the enrty in the source file or usage flags to detect
unused definitions.
Further details remain in the DOM-tree.
They are accessed on demand while processing the modules.
Major build steps
- Read the input files and create the dictionaries.
- run several checks about the correctness of invocation parameters,
conflicts of usage of nonsharable ressources, ...
- if no error occurred, the represenation of the system parts of all modules
is created
Details about the check definition are located in the LaTeX documentation
of the imc.
XML-File Structure
Platform Definition
The platform definition is decribed in the LaTeX documentation of the IMC.
Compiler Output per Module
The compiler creates for each source file an interface definition file
in xml format.
The system part is represented in the tree <system>
and the problem part in the tree $lt;problem>.
System Part
The system part definition are ether <username> or <configuration>.
Both may have <parameters> and <associations>.
An association may also have pparameters.
An association may be a username or another association.
Associations are represented as subtree of the username or configuration tag.
Problem Part
The compiler creates <spc> and <dcl> tags for specification
and declaration
of global symbols. These tags have the following attributes:
- name
- the name of the symbol
- line
- the line number of the declaraction or specification
- type
- the type of the symbol.
- simple types, dations, signals, interrupts, tasks, semaphores and bolt
elements are given in their PEARL nottaion with precission or length
- arrays are denoted with prepended virtual dimnsion list (separated with space)
- structs are denoted with their C++ identifier
- REF is prepended literally with a space as separator
The attribute 'global' is optional and default
to the current module name.
Dations have additional elements for their attributes and data type
as described in the platform definition.
Procedures have additional tags parameters and returns for the
procedure parameters and the result type.
The parameters is a comma separated string of all parameters as
in a procedure secification. The return type ie encoded like the data
tag in dations.

Long Island Rail Road train derails in Queens; no injuries
NEW YORK (AP) - Officials say a Long Island Rail Road train has derailed in Queens, but there are no reports of injuries.
The commuter railroad tweeted that two cars of an eastbound train derailed just east of Jamaica station Friday night. A Metropolitan Transit Authority statement says the derailment took place around a half-hour after the 10-car train left Penn Station at 8:56 p.m., bound for Babylon.
The statement said no injuries were reported. A relief train had arrived by 11 p.m. to take around 600 passengers to their final destinations. Crews on scene handed out water.
The derailment’s cause is under investigation.
Jamaica is a major hub for the LIRR, the nation’s busiest commuter railroad that carries an average of over 300,000 riders each weekday.
Several other trains were delayed or canceled.

Looking for a good Paladin with a decent AB and the ability to Smite for a high magic server,+20 weapons are possible as you can use gems to enhance up to +20. Level 40 chac.
 ALso would like Decent AC. HOpe I am not asking for too much. Race does not matter, however alignment shifts are not possible.
Thanks
I guess you want Great Smiting, which in turn means Paladin/CoT. You can then add WM, FTR or Rogue for example (rogue having +4 AC not to say trap skills and UMD). You'll probably end up with a 37-39 mundane AB. Is that good enough for you? _________________ They can't stop us Let them try For Heavy Metal We will die
Thanks for the reply Kail, I went back and look thru the Chac builds and found..... Ithacan's Knight of the Sword,(Pally/WM/COT). This should work for me, CHA is only 14 but I forgot that there are Ability gems around to increase so that will help.


+++ draft = false date = "2008-12-03T12:05:20-02:00" title = "Specific imports versus module imports in Python" tags = ["Python", "rants"] created = "2008-12-03T11:22:16-02:00" modified = "2008-12-03T12:53:56-02:00" permaLink = "http://play.pixelblaster.ro/blog/archive/2008/12/03/specific-imports-versus-module-imports-in-python" author = "Tiberiu Ichim" aliases = [ "/blog/archive/2008/12/03/specific-imports-versus-module-imports-in-python" ] +++
I've always been a fan of explicit, separate imports in Python, vs generic module imports. Maybe it's because I like things to be explicit, or I've been spoiled by the way Eclipse Pydev deals with auto-importing, but I have an aversion towards generic module imports. To keep the code style consistent, I even rewrite to this style any foreign code that ends up in my code.
Specifically, I'm talking about:
from foo import Bar Bar()
vs
import foo foo.Bar()
Needless to say, I like the first style better.
There are advantages and disadvantages for each of the above methods:
from zope.app import component from zope import component
Of course, some people sensed this problem and write code like:
class MyView(object): template = zope.app.pagetemplate.ViewPageTemplateFile('template.pt')
But this code is hard to read, hard to write and is almost at the limit with the self-imposed line length of 80 characters, which means most of the times it needs to be broken in two lines.
Today I became aware of what I consider the biggest advantage of using specific import (from foo import Bar). Heavy refactoring, in the absence of a comprehensive test suite, is a lot easier! When starting the program, the imports will fail and you get an immediate pointer to where you need to make a fix. If I would have used a generic module import, the error will have appeared only when trying to use the piece of code that calls foo.Bar().
TL;DR: use specific imports! If your editor doesn't support it, take some time to look at Eclipse Pydev or Netbeans, two free IDEs with Python support. You'll get:

In today's piece, I am going to introduce you lovely people to version control, git, and Github.
Version control is a system of keeping track of changes made on a project over time. The project is not limited to the realm of programming and may be any sort of document, presentation, image, video, or other content that goes through changes. The opposite of version control might be when a file is overwritten every time it is edited and saved. When it is overwritten, it might not be possible to go back to different states or undo changes made. Version control allows users to go back in time to various checkpoints throughout a project. This system is useful for large projects where many edits will take place and some might later need to be discarded, and it is also especially useful for when multiple people are working on the same project and making several edits.
Git is an implementation of a version control system that can be run locally in a terminal. Git provides a history of content changes and is approachable for any type of project. It also facilitates collaboration between users by having the ability to branch a project into multiple workflows and later merge them back. Git is lightweight, straightforward, and fast. I will repeat, though, that Git is essentially local, on a user's machine. A remote resource that can used alongside Git is Github.
Github is a remote resource that allows users to collaborate on projects using Git. Through the Github website, users can access a master version of a project and download it locally to their machines, as well as to their own Github accounts. Then, when they are done making changes, editing, or adding new features, they can upload their work back to Github in the form of a pull request. A pull request essentially uploads work back to the Github servers and posts it for review, evaluation, and possible merging into the master version of the project. Github also allows multiple users to have access to the files both online and locally, which is a good way to ensure the files do not get lost. And, since all the work is done locally, users can simultaneously be working on the same file and then upload their branches back to the online location.
To be clear, some merges are simpler than others. If users are all working on different areas of code in a large file, merging might be relatively straightforward. Other times, users might simultaneously be making changes to the same parts of code. However, even in that case, Github places the changes side by side so that collaborators can make decisions on which code to keep. And as with Git locally, Github will log all of the changes made in the project's repository, so that at any time users can access various version checkpoints.
So that's my introduction to version control, Git, and Github. Until next time.....


Coding Challenge I
Mark and John are trying to compare their BMI (Body Mass Index), which is calculated using the formula:
BMI = mass / height^2 = mass / (height * height). (mass in kg and height in meter).
- Store Mark's and John's mass and height in variables.
- Calculate both their BMIs.
- Create a boolean variable containing information about whether Mark has a higher BMI than John.
- Print a string to the console containing the variable from step 3. (Something like "Is Mark's BMI higher than John's? true").
GOOD LUCK! 😀

Denmark to qualify for World Cup 2018
On Tuesday night, the Republic of Ireland and Denmark clash in their World Cup play-off second leg. The first leg produced a goalless draw, so it is winner takes it all in this one. The Republic of Ireland will have been pleased to earn a goalless draw in the first leg, as Denmark have been in good form on home soil. However, the draw should not have surprised anybody, as Ireland have lost just one of their last 12 games in World Cup qualifying. Their recent World Cup qualifiers have been tight affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last eight outings. Martin O’Neill’s side have a mixed record on home soil in World Cup qualifying. The home side have won three, drawn two and lost one of their last six qualifiers at the Aviva Stadium. Like their recent qualifiers in general, their recent home World Cup qualifiers have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five games. Denmark heads into this crucial clash unbeaten in their last eight World Cup qualifiers. However, the Scandinavian side have now drawn their last two games in qualifying. Their last three qualifiers have produced 2.5 goals. On paper that looks like a safe bet in this clash. The visitors have a decent recent away record in qualifying, winning six of their last eight qualifiers, including their last three games in Kazakhstan, Armenia and Montenegro. Denmark have also been relatively prolific in that eight-game run, scoring at least two goals in five of their last eight away qualifiers. The visitors have a decent defensive record too, as they have conceded just five goals in their last six away games in qualifying. This game is unlikely to be high scoring and Ireland’s games tend to be tight. However, Forebet predicts that Denmark will have enough quality to win in Dublin and seal their place at World Cup 2018.

THIN RED LINE, THE (director: Andrew Marton; cast: Keir Dullea (Pvt. Doll), Jack Warden (Sgt. Welsh), Ray Daley (Capt. Stone), James Philbrook (Col. Tall), Bob Kanter (Fife), Jim Gillen (Capt. Gaff), Kieron Moore (Lt. Band), 1964)
Based on James Jones' WW11 novel set in Guadalcanal, that probes the love/hate relationship between a tough, grizzly veteran, Sgt. Welsh (Warden), and the young inexperienced Pvt. Doll, as Company C makes its push to take Guadalcanal from the Japanese.
The idea that war is insane is the underlying theme of this violent actioner, that questions the sanity of why men go to war. Sgt. Welsh prepares the men for war by picking on Pvt. Doll unfairly, accusing him of not carrying out an order even though he knows that it was carried out. When Capt. Stone (Daley) asks why he is doing this to Doll, he is told that he is teaching him not to think but to obey; that war is insane and that the sooner his men find this out, then the better able they will be to survive in the battlefield. The film's title signifies the thin red line that one crosses between sanity and insanity in a war situation. The captain's response is, that in civilian life we put men like Sgt. Welsh in mental institutions, but in war, the institution we put him in is the army.
Company C's immediate obstacle, even before they can get used to their new war surroundings, is to traverse a swamp field that is land mined and barbed wired and heavily fortified with hidden gun nests along the swampy trails and on the hilltops, it is armed with machine gun dugouts. The idea is to keep pushing the enemy back, which means retaking all the previous villages that were taken, no matter the cost in lives to the soldiers.
Pvt.  Doll uses the non-army issued pistol he stole from an American soldier to kill the Japanese soldier, the gun is something that he fixed in his mind that he needed to have for further protection and could not be talked out of giving it up when Welsh discovered the theft. Doll's idea of surviving the war is a bit different than Welsh's, he wants to know what he is doing at all times, to think things through for himself, to be thought of as an individual, and most of all to be in charge of his own destiny.
In combat, C Company comes up against heavy gun fire and can't push forward. The gung-ho Col. Tall's (Philbrook) command to Capt. Stone is, stop worrying about casualities and take the swamp at all costs. Capt. Stone, a symbol for the rational man caught in war, who is trying his best to do his duty and look out for the safety of his men, tells the colonel that he can't obey his command. But Sgt. Welsh comes up with a plan to mountain climb the rocky terrain with ropes for him and Doll, and to let the avalanche of rocks detonate the mines in the swamp. When Col. Tall appears on the scene, the men are pushing ahead and the blustery colonel can only bellow, What was all the fuss about ? The gory combat scenes and the heroics of the men and the craziness of the war, are vividly photographed, leaving one with a mixed impressions, perhaps,wondering if this is what it takes to win the battle, and if that is so, is it worth the price it takes to accomplish the mission. The images of the dead in the swamp, tagged with dogtags in their mouth, was appalling to behold, it is a scene that should leave one feeling a bit eerie.
The next objective is to take the village, but before that next offensive can begin, Capt. Stone is summoned to the colonel's headquarters and is told that he is being removed from his command because he doesn't have the stomach for battle. He will be given a silver star and assigned to a rear guard desk job, and nothing will go into the record about his insubordination. The look on the captain's face is priceless; as he is stunned, all the wind is taken out of him, and all he could do is follow proper military courtesy over the decision, fully aware that he has just been given a coveted position for something that he has actually earned, but for the moment he is overcome with disappointment and regret for how he has been treated by his superior officer, and by the fact that he is so suddenly being removed from the men he feels responsible for.
It is now Capt. Gaff's (Gillen) outfit to command, and the men, elated with their victory begin to celebrate by ransacking the booty the Japanese soldiers left behind, but their celebration is short-lived, as there are a number of enemy soldiers who escaped detection and are now hidden by camouflage that blends in with the trees, and their surprise attack, nearly wipes out the company, leaving them with only 27 men.
Heroics on the part of the men, caught up in the spirit of battle, begins to get the better of them, as they decide to try and finish the job they were assigned, climbing the top of the hill and taking out the machine gunners firing down on them. Doll becomes the hero, going beyond the call of duty to lead the charge on the hill. What results, is the complete transformation of Doll into a killing machine, who, after all his confrontational conflicts with Welsh, is eventually transformed into someone he didn't know he was.
This version of THE THIN RED LINE is quite different from Terrence Malick's depersonalized 1998 one. Marton shot his war film by personalizing the men and simply telling of the atrocities they faced. It was a straight hard-nosed story, with no grandiose philosophical themes.  This is a blunt statement, but after all the bloody battle scenes observed, and the heavy losses on both sides, it is a fair question to ask and the response might not be one that can be taken literally, but it is one that is wrapped around a lot of emotions that can't be articulated properly but can sure be felt.

Music For Entertainment
Listen
Tastes vary widely, but anywhere from DnB to heavy classical. Most of the time on the dance side of equation.
A close inspection of my CD collection (over 500 CDs and growing!) will reveal that the most popular labels are from Dancepool (Oz) and React (UK) and Global Underground (UK). In general US dance music is pretty crappy - way too poppy. I don't know why, but we only really see good stuff from local, UK or Europe in the clubs, unless of course it is pop-dance type stuff, which nobody seems to know how to dance to anyway around here.
Dance
Yes, dance. As in, I used to dance - a lot. Trilogy Dancers in Perth and assistance instructor at one of the local Street Latin schools for several years. Still enjoy club dancing a lot, though young kids and family have stopped most of that now.
Huh? Yup, that's right, For a while, at the insistence of my then roommate, I took some classes in street latin dancing. An interesting form of dance that-requires lots of hip movement. No, its not the lambada, but it does similar stuff. Less flashy, more fun. After probably 12 months, I'd ended up being serious enough that I became one of the assistant instructors, helping teach the newcomers classes, along with my dance partner at the time. I continued that for another 12 months or so until I left Perth.

In thinking about a JavaScript program that evaluates JavaScript expressions, an analogy might be helpful. One operational view of the meaning of a program is that a program is a description of an abstract (perhaps infinitely large) machine. For example, consider the familiar program to compute factorials:
We may regard this program as the description of a machine containing parts that decrement, multiply, and test for equality, together with a two-position switch and another factorial machine. (The factorial machine is infinite because it contains another factorial machine within it.) Figure \ref{fig:fact-proc-as-machine} is a flow diagram for the factorial machine, showing how the parts are wired together. \begin{figure}[H] \centering \maxsizebox{\linewidth}{0.8\paperheight}{\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{{img\string_original/ch4-Z-G-2}.svg}} \caption{The factorial program, viewed as an abstract machine. } \label{fig:fact-proc-as-machine} \end{figure}
In a similar way, we can regard the evaluator as a very special
machine that takes as input a description of a machine. Given this
input, the evaluator configures itself to emulate the machine
described. For example, if we feed our evaluator the definition of
factorial, as shown in Figure \ref{fig:eval-factorial}, the
evaluator will be able to compute factorials.
From this perspective, our evaluator is seen to be a universal machine. It mimics other machines when these are described as JavaScript programs.[1]
This is striking. Try to imagine an analogous evaluator for electrical circuits. This would be a circuit that takes as input a signal encoding the plans for some other circuit, such as a filter. Given this input, the circuit evaluator would then behave like a filter with the same description. Such a universal electrical circuit is almost unimaginably complex. It is remarkable that the program evaluator is a rather simple program.[2]
Another striking aspect of the evaluator is that it acts as a bridge between the data objects that are manipulated by our programming language and the programming language itself. Imagine that the evaluator program (implemented in JavaScript) is running, and that a user is typing expressions to the evaluator and observing the results. From the perspective of the user, an input expression such as x * x is an expression in the programming language, which the evaluator should execute. From the perspective of the evaluator, however, the expression is simply a string or—after parsing—a tagged-object representation that is to be manipulated according to a well-defined set of rules.
That the user's programs are the evaluator's data need not be a source of confusion. In fact, it is sometimes convenient to ignore this distinction, and to give the user the ability to explicitly evaluate a string as a JavaScript expression, using JavaScript's primitive function eval that takes as argument a string. It parses the string and—provided that it syntactically correct—evaluates the resulting representation in the environment in which eval is applied.[3]
halton a if evaluating the expression p(a) returns a value (as opposed to terminating with an error message or running forever). Show that it is impossible to write a function halts that correctly determines whether p halts on a for any function p and object a. Use the following reasoning: If you had such a function halts, you could implement the following program:
function run_forever() { return run_forever(); } function try(p) { return halts(p, p) ? run_forever(); : "halted"; }
what can in principle be computed(ignoring practicalities of time and memory required) is independent of the language or the computer, and instead reflects an underlying notion of computability. This was first demonstrated in a clear way by Alan M. Turing (1912–1954), whose 1936 paper laid the foundations for theoretical computer science. In the paper, Turing presented a simple computational model—now known as a Turing machine—and argued that any
effective processcan be formulated as a program for such a machine. (This argument is known as the Church-Turing thesis.) Turing then implemented a universal machine, i.e., a Turing machine that behaves as an evaluator for Turing-machine programs. He used this framework to demonstrate that there are well-posed problems that cannot be computed by Turing machines (see exercise \ref{ex:halting-theorem}), and so by implication cannot be formulated as
effective processes.Turing went on to make fundamental contributions to practical computer science as well. For example, he invented the idea of structuring programs using general-purpose subroutines. See

Hello, I'm Nam. I'm from Vietnam. I'm a senior, majoring in Computer Science.
I hope we will all have fun and learn a lot from this class.
Malware can: deleting our files, installing spyware the steal private information.
A botnet: is a network of infected devices, controlled by bad guys.
Self-replication: once malware infects one host, from that host, it seeks entry into other hosts over the Internet
Are malware that require some form of user interaction to infect the user's device.
Are malware that can enter a device without any explicit user interaction.
This involves sending a few well-crafted messages to a vulnerable application or operating system running on a targeted host. If the right sequence of packets is sent to a vulnerable application or operating system, the service can stop or, worse, the host can crash.
The attacker sends a deluge of packets to the targeted host—so many packets that the target’s access link becomes clogged, preventing legitimate packets from reaching the server.
Distributed DOS (DDOS) attack: the attacker controls multiple sources and has each source send traffic at the target. With this approach, the aggregate traffic rate across all the controlled sources needs to be approximately R to cripple the service.
The attacker establishes a large number of half-open or fully open TCP connections at the target host. The host can become so bogged down with these bogus connections that it stops accepting legitimate connections.
Packet sniffer: a passive receiver that records a copy of every packet that flies by, when it's placed in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter.
Sniffer can be deployed also in wired environment.
Sniffed packets can then be analyzed offline for sensitive information.
IP spoofing: The ability to injectpackets into the Internet with a false source address, and is but one of many ways in which one user can masquerade as another user.
End-point authentication: a mechanism that will allow us to determine with certainty if a message originates from where we think it does.


I completed three full-time software development interships in the past three years as a part of earning my undergraduate degree ammounting in twenty-one months of experience (These internships are called co-ops at Northeastern University). The first co-op was with Goldman Sachs and the second and third co-ops were with an inbound marketing automation company called HubSpot. The details of these co-ops are described below. I learned as much if not more on these co-ops as I do than when I am in classes, and the experience has helped me to focus my studies and reaffirmed that I am certainly in the right field.
Each co-op presented different challenges, both technically and professionally and I have no doubt that the experience I’ve gained will be invaluable as I seek full-time employment for July 2017. Once I gain enough experience I hope to be able to leverage the management half of my degree and leadership experience and become a Tech Lead.
June 2016 – December 2016 (7 months)Cambridge, Massachusetts At HubSpot, I worked on the Blog Publishing team maintaining and building the blog portion of HubSpot's product. I utilized frameworks like Dropwizard, Guice, Jackson, Mockito, and JUnit to build maintainable and powerful RESTful services building on my experience with these frameworks from my experience with my first co-op with HubSpot.
In August, I started building HubSpot's new Accelerated Mobile Pages product offering. The message to customers was that by simply turning AMP on, all of their blog posts, old and new would be published as google AMP content. I wrote about 80% of the code for the product in conjunction with a tech lead and senior engineer that both worked remotely from different cities. The product was announced at Inbound 16 and customer reactions are viewable here: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23inbound16%20amp&src=typd&lang=en
I also maintained and added a variety of changes to the Blog Team's Front End React and Flux applications.
Built an application from the ground up for HubSpot's legal team. The backend is Java and uses Liquibase, Rosetta, Mockito, etc to increase readability and keep code robust. The frontend utilizes es6, React, Flux to keep the app fast and well structured.
For style guides I defer to "Effective Java" and Google for my backend restful service; I defer to Facebook and AirBnb style guides for my frontend.
Before starting at HubSpot I had never seen most of the technologies and design patterns I am fluent in today. In addition to owning the legal app, I commented on co-workers PRs frequently and maintained other existing apps core to HubSpot's billing systems.
At Goldman I worked in a software dev team of 10 people to design and deliver reporting software to both internal users and external consumers. I worked primarily with Java, SQL, and VBA, but I also used Perl for back end scripting projects. I developed software through all steps of the software development life cycle all the way to production where I ensured user satisfaction.


What is the Tech Radar?
The Cloud Republic Tech Radar is a list of technologies, complemented by an assessment result, called ring assignment. We use four rings with the following semantics:
- ADOPT — Technologies we have high confidence in to serve our purpose, also in large scale. Technologies with a usage culture in our Cloud Republic production environment, low risk and recommended to be widely
used.
- TRIAL — Technologies that we have seen work with success in project work to solve a real problem; first serious usage experience that confirm benefits and can uncover limitations. TRIAL technologies are slightly
more risky; some engineers in our organization walked this path and will share knowledge and experiences.
- ASSESS — Technologies that are promising and have clear potential value-add for us; technologies worth to invest some research and prototyping efforts in to see if it has impact. ASSESS technologies have higher
risks; they are often brand new and highly unproven in our organisation. You will find some engineers that have knowledge in the technology and promote it, you may even find teams that have started a prototyping effort.
- HOLD — Technologies not recommended to be used for new projects. Technologies that we think are not (yet) worth to (further) invest in. HOLD technologies should not be used for new projects, but usually can be
continued for existing projects.
|
What is the purpose?
The Tech Radar is a tool to inspire and support engineering teams at Cloud Republic to pick the best technologies for new projects; it provides a platform to share knowledge and experience in technologies, to reflect on technology decisions and continuously
evolve our technology landscape. Based on the pioneering work of ThoughtWorks, our Tech Radar sets out the changes in technologies that are interesting in software
development — changes that we think our engineering teams should pay attention to and consider using in their projects.

Tata Steel eyes $1.75bn in funding via European unit : Report
Through this fundraising round, the steel-maker aims to pare down its borrowing costs by nearly 100 basis points
by Moneycontrol NewsTata Steel is looking to raise $1.75 billion (equivalent of about Rs 12,563 crore) in syndicated offshore loans through its European unit, reports The Economic Times.
Through this fundraising round, the steel-maker aims to pare down its borrowing costs by nearly 100 basis points (100 bps=1 percentage point).
The loan, which would come with a mark-up on the dollar-based London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), is expected to have a five-year maturity period. The mark-up on it is around 200 to 250 bps, the report added.
Moneycontrol couldn’t independently verify the report.
A Letter of Comfort from Tata Steel, the parent company, has helped in a 50 to 70 bps reduction in spreads, the article quotes dealers as saying.
Earlier, Tata Steel Europe had been in talks with Germany-based thyssenKrupp Steel Europe. The two companies had signed a deal in June last year, to create a 50:50 joint venture which would result in cost savings of 500 million euro (equivalent to Rs 3,957 crore). However, the merger deal didn't go through and the plan was scrapped in May.


Program slicing computes all statements in a program that directly or indirectly affect the value of a variable or instruction. Static program slicing computes all statements that may affect the value of a variable at a program point for any arbitrary execution of the program. Instead, dynamic program slicing computes all statements that actually affect the value of a variable/instruction at a program point for a particular execution of the program with given input. There are many applications which use (or could benefit from) dynamic slicing. For example, it has long been used in software debugging and testing. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no publicly available dynamic slicing tool in either LLVM, GCC or Open64.
Giri is a dynmic slicing tool implemented in LLVM compiler infrastructure by Swarup Kumar Sahoo, John Criswell, and Vikram Adve. They used backward dynamic slicing to filter/remove false positives from the candidate root causes for automated software fault localization (ASPLOS'13). The tool collects the trace of a particular program execution and finally reports the dynamic slice of a given statement using the trace. It also maps LLVM intermediate representation (IR) statements to source code using the debug meta-data to report the dynamic slice in terms of source line numbers. To make the Giri up-to-date and robust for general use, Mingliang Liu and Swarup Kumar Sahoo further enhanced it in several ways. For example, they reduced the trace size, made the Giri thread-aware and improved the performance of run-time.
The following is an example C program, which is based on the program 1 of the paper where dynamic program slicing was first proposed. Given the input 10 to this program, the source line numbers that affect the return value are: 13, 20, 27, 40, 42, 44, 47. The line numbers 13, 20 are included due to control dependence, while line numbers 27, 40, 42, 44, 47 are included due to data dependence. Note that the line numbers 15, 22 should be included in static slices, but neither of them is included in dynamic slices since neither of them actually has influence on the return value for the input 10.

The default starting point of slicing (criterion) is the return instruction of the main function. Note that there is only one return when the main executes. Giri also supports two more ways to specify the starting criterion of the slice. The first is to define the slicing criterion by line number of a source file. The second is to start slice from a given LLVM instruction number. In the second case, one should provide the function name and the instruction number (Every LLVM instruction is assigned a unique number by the SourceLineMapping pass). See the example usage for more information.
As shown in the above figure, Giri has two phases. In the first pass named tracing pass, it instruments the code to record various runtime information in a trace file for all threads for a particular execution. In the second pass named slicing pass, it uses the execution trace to create a program dependence graph for computing dynamic slice.
The tracing pass instruments code to record three different pieces of information: 1) basic block exits, 2) memory accesses and their addresses, and 3) function calls and returns. First, the basic block (BB) exit is recorded in the trace to provide branch taken information (execution path) for the second pass. Second, Giri instruments the program to record the memory locations accessed by all loads, stores, and select C library functions. This information is used in the second phase to find all the store instructions that created the value read by a load instruction. Since most instructions operate on SSA scalar values, we only refer to trace file whenever needed. For example, we can get all the operands of an add instruction from the program SSA form without accessing the trace file. However, when we try to find all the store instructions which feed value to a load instruction, we need to scan the trace file since the data read by the load instruction may be written by many possible store instructions, which can only be determined accurately at runtime. Third, Giri instruments a program to record the execution of function calls and function returns, which is useful to match up formal and and actual arguments and callers/callee return values during the second phase for both direct and indirect function calls. Finally, to make the slicing pass thread aware, the runtime library writes the thread id (pthread_t) to each record indicating current thread performing that operation. We use locks when we write trace records to the trace file in order to avoid race conditions.
The slicing pass initializes a work list with the starting instruction of slicing. For each dynamic value in the work list, the slicing pass computes both data-flow and control-flow dependences for it using program SSA form and trace. First, we compute all the dynamic instructions which influence the current dynamic value under consideration through direct flow of data values. Next, static control-dependence analysis is employed to determine which values or instructions can directly force the execution of the basic block to which this dynamic value belongs. Then, the slicing pass uses the trace records to find the most recent dynamic instance of those values or instructions which forces the execution of this dynamic value. The dynamic values computed by control or data dependence are added to the work list if not already processed earlier. The slicing pass does not stop until all dynamic values in the work list are processed. The slicing pass checks the thread id when scanning the trace file for a given dynamic value or basic block. In the end, it reports the dynamic slice of the program execution from the slice starting point in terms of LLVM instructions as well as the source code line numbers.
Giri code is up-to-date with the latest LLVM version and was published at https://github.com/liuml07/giri. We tested the code with many unit tests. There is a simple test framework which runs all the test cases and report the results. We shall make sure all unit tests pass locally before submitting a new patch to the code repository. Giri was able to handle few large real programs like Squid, Apache, MySQL. To slice multi-threading programs, we made the Giri run-time library thread safe and the slicing pass thread aware.
Giri is still under development and pull requests are heavily welcome. The following is the list of future work we are going to address in the next months.

1 So far, all I have said is the record of my own autopsy and judgment and inquiry. Henceforth I will record Egyptian chronicles, according to what I have heard, adding something of what I myself have seen.
2 The priests told me that Min was the first king of Egypt, and that first he separated Memphis from the Nile by a dam. All the river had flowed close under the sandy mountains on the Libyan side, but Min made the southern bend of it, which begins about twelve and one half miles above Memphis, by damming the stream, thereby drying up the ancient channel, and carried the river by a channel so that it flowed midway between the hills.
3 And to this day the Persians keep careful watch on this bend of the river, strengthening its dam every year to keep the current in; for were the Nile to burst its dikes and overflow here, all Memphis would be in danger of flooding.
4 Then, when this first king Min had made dry land of what he thus cut off, he first founded in it that city which is now called Memphis (for even Memphis lies in the narrow part of Egypt), and outside of it he dug a lake from the river to its north and west (for the Nile itself bounds it on the east); and secondly, he built in it the great and most noteworthy temple of Hephaestus.
