Grand Master Siegmund:
What do you think, young one? As a training opportunity, would you care to match your skills against those of the masters of this place? Although their teaching style is a little rough, I can promise it is very effective.
Worried about getting hurt during training? Ah! A Magister can be quickly called from the library over there to cast a cure spell, should that be necessary.

A joint which behaves in a similar way to a ball and socket.
A spherical joint removes all linear degrees of freedom from two objects.
The position of the joint on each actor is specified by the origin of the body's joint frame.
A spherical joint may have a cone limit, to restrict the motion to within a certain range. In addition, the bodies may be projected together if the distance between them exceeds a given threshold.
Projection, drive and limits are activated by setting the appropriate flags on the joint.

Showing Categorized Views in Web Applications
Categorized views are kind of a trademark of Lotus Notes (Client) applications. We like them, we build them, we love them. We also want to see them on the web. There is only one small issue: That display of information is pretty unique to Notes. You do find this tree/table combination in other applications only to display files (like Nautilus, Finder or KDE) but not data. So a categorized view is kind of odd on the web. I played around to find alternate displays for single and multiple category data. Here is what I came up with.
- Single Category view with Listbox
The category isn't part of the view itself but a picklist on the left (which might be filled by a @DbColumn). The table shows the current selection matching the selection. Works out of the box already today. Interesting extension challenge: allow selection of multiple entries in the listbox. - Single Category view with Combobox
A variation of the first theme. Useful if you have a lot of view columns and need the real estate on the left. Variation: Instead of the dropdown: show a link that uses a popup to allow selection of the category to show. - Multiple Categories with Combobox
This actually works also with a sorted view since the limit key takes an array as entry. As variation similar to the previous example could be to show a breadcrumb link list that allow to click or hover to show the selection. Challenge: How to make it obvious that you need to select/narrow from left to right. Extra challenge: when you change box 2 and the value in box 3 is no longer an available value - Multiple Categories in tree/table combination
Looks like a file dialogue, so users should be familiar. You trade horizontal space for vertical space. Makes navigation in categories more accessible since all categories are available any time - Pivot view on 3 categories
Category 2 becomes the columns of the table, Category 3 the rows. Adds sums to rows and columns. Good base material for graphs. Challenge: decide on the aggregation mode: sum/average/percentage -or- optional display of such a column - Pivot view on 3 categories with data rows
Similar concept like the previous but with individual data rows displayed. Might show additional aggregation rows or columns

Cyprus plans to strip citizenships after uproar over passports
ATHENS: Cyprus on Wednesday (Nov 6) said it had started a process to strip 26 individuals of citizenship they received under a secretive passports for investment scheme.
"Cabinet has decided to initiate a process to revoke Cypriot citizenship from 26 individuals," Interior Minister Constantinos Petrides said.
"The Council of Ministers today affirmed the will of the government for strict adherence to the terms and conditions of the Cyprus investment programme," he added.
Petrides did not disclose the nationalities or identities of the individuals concerned, but a Reuters investigation last month revealed wealthy relatives and allies of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had received Cypriot passports under the scheme.
Hun Sen has previously denied opposition allegations that members of his inner circle had passports from other countries and lived the high life overseas.
READ: Malaysian authorities investigate reports saying Jho Low has a Cyprus passport
READ: Malaysian police say 1MDB fugitive Low seeking to buy Cyprus properties
Greek newspaper Politis reported on Sunday that Malaysian fugitive businessman Jho Low was in possession of a Cyprus passport.
The report alleged that Low arrived in Cyprus in September 2015 and obtained the passport two days later through the Cyprus Investment Plan.
The scheme requires an interested party to deposit €5 million (US$5.6 million) in a local bank for three years and allows them to buy a house.
The report also claimed Low had commissioned a €5 million mansion on the island, due for completion and delivery within two months.
On Wednesday, Malaysian police said Low had attempted to purchase properties in Cyprus under a different name.
Police chief Abdul Hamid Bador later clarified the authorities believed Low was hiding in a remote country, but that he was not in the Cyprus islands.

Low has been charged in Malaysia and the United States over the alleged theft of US$4.5 billion from 1MDB, set up by former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

I love lip balms and hoard them like crazy, there is a lip balm for my every bag and room. When I saw the Faces lip balm online, I instantly picked up the two for their slight different fragrances. But I am not at all impressed with them, read on...
Prices: Rs. 99 for 4.5gm Faces Claims & Ingredients: My experinece: The biggest turnoff has to be the smell, specially the lemon one. It smells like the lemon hand soap we usually encounter. Yet I tried it on a few times, I made me feel nauseated. On application it gives an oily feel and not creamy, which does take sometime to get absorbed. As a lip balm it does its job well and does moisturize the lips.What I liked:
What I did not like:
I am not picking up them for sure. What I actually did with them is melted them together in a tub and use it a cuticle cream for my feets at night. Almost all balm that dont fork for me end up being used liked that.
Have you tried the Faces lip balm yet ?

- Given a variable x, represented by MDD var "mddId", and a
function f:y->z, represented by "function", where x and z take the same
number of values, returns the MDD for a (binary) function F(x,y) such that
F(x,y) = 1 iff x = f(y). In the binary case it reduces to F(x,y) = x XNOR
f(y). Intuitively it describes a function of multi-valued variables by the
characteristic function of its input-output relation.
Mvf_Function_t *
Mvf_FunctionCofactor(
Mvf_Function_t * function,

- Given a multi-valued function f, an array of variables
x1,...,xk, and an array of multi-valued functions g1,...,gk, iteratively
calls Mvf_MddComposeWithFunction to substitute each xi by gi. The
parameters of the ith call to Mvf_MddComposeWithFunction are the result of

- Given a multi-valued function f, a variable x (mddId), and a
multi-valued function g, the procedure replaces every appearance of x in f
by function g. That is, if the function f is f(..., x, ...), then the
result is f(..., g(), ...). The number of values that x can take and the
number of components of g must be equal. The algorithm first computes the
sum of factors (x==i)*gi for every value i in the domain of x, where gi is
the ith component of g. Then, for each component fi of f, the sum of
factors is conjuncted with fi, and x is existentially quantified. The
function g must not depend on x. The result depends on all the variables of
g and all the variables of f, except for x.

Mvf_Function_t * function
)
- Returns true if a multi-valued function is completely

- Returns true if a multi-valued function is constant, else
false. A function is constant if exactly one component is the tautology,
and the remaining components are zero. If the function is a constant, then
"value" is set to the constant value of the function. The complexity of this
procedure is linear in the number of values the function can take.
- See Also
Mvf_FunctionTestIsNonDeterministicConstant
boolean
Mvf_FunctionTestIsDeterministic(

boolean
Mvf_FunctionTestIsNonDeterministicConstant(
Mvf_Function_t * function
)
- Returns true if a multi-valued function is a non-deterministic
constant, else false. A function is a non-deterministic constant if more
than one component is the tautology, and the remaining components are zero.
The complexity of this procedure is linear in the number of values the

- Returns the set of minterms on which two functions agree. For
f = [f1, f2, ..., fn] and g = [g1, g2, ..., gn], the returned set is:
AND(i = 1, ..., n) (fi XNOR gi). For the special case where f and g are
binary valued, this function computes (f XNOR g). It is an error if the two

mdd_t *
Mvf_MddComposeWithFunction(
mdd_t * f,
int mddId,
Mvf_Function_t * g
)
- Given a binary-valued function f, a variable x, and a
multi-valued function g, the procedure replaces every appearance of x in f
by function g. That is, if the function f is f(..., x, ...), then the
result is f(..., g(), ...). The number of values that x can take and the
number of components of g must be equal. The algorithm first computes the
sum of factors (x==i)*gi for every value i in the domain of x, where gi is
the ith component of g, then conjuncts this with f, and finally
existentially quantifies x. The function g must not depend on x. The
result depends on all the variables of g and all the variables of f, except
for x.

ARMAGEDDON A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1998 Andrew Hicks
** (out of four)
If nothing else, ARMAGEDDON will probably go down in history as the loudest movie ever. It applies the mechanics of brain-dead, quick-cutting action movies like CON-AIR and THE ROCK to the disaster movie formula, with mixed results. As far as the summer of 1998 goes, ARMAGGEDON is better than GODZILLA and DEEP IMPACT, but not by much. Movies like these are becoming more about creating hype than living up to it.
Once I saw who would be in ARMAGEDDON, I hoped it would be one of the rare action movies that manages to mix thrills with humor and perhaps even a wee bit of intelligence. This cast is almost all famous for good independent movies, people like Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE), Ben Affleck (CHASING AMY), Liv Tyler (STEALING BEAUTY) and Buscemi (RESERVOIR DOGS and several hundred other Miramax movies).
Then there's Bruce Willis, who's past his prime but still capable of holding an action movie together. ARMAGEDDON is the beginning of the end for Willis, though, because as we all know, once an action hero plays another action hero's father, his days are numbered. (Ask Sean Connery after the third Indiana Jones movie.) He plays a champion oil driller whose rig is stationed somewhere out in the ocean, his military days far behind him. No, he's more concerned now with his daughter's (Tyler) romance with cocksure driller Affleck, as he finds them in bed together and chases Affleck around the boat with a gun.
This is just one of the scenes that make you ask, "Why?" The first comes before the credits begin, when Charlton Heston tells us of the meteor that made the dinosaurs extinct and vows, "It will happen again. The question is when?" A title card then pops up that says, "65 Million Years Later," which is pretty convenient. More credible would be the title card "65 Million, 243 Thousand, 792 Years, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 1 Day, 8 Hours, 23 Minutes and 15 Seconds Later," an exercise would require double the attention span the entire movie allots its audience.
Cut to New York, where a man is walking his dog. The dog attacks an inflatable lizard that a vendor is selling, as the vendor yells, "Hey, leave Godzilla alone." No room for subtlety here, although ARMAGEDDON does kick GODZILLA's ass, if just barely. Meteors rain down on the city, the Chrysler building falls over, much destruction is wrought and two Japanese tourists tell their cab driver, when it's all over, "I want to shop!" Worse than that, this shameful sequence has no bearing on the rest of the movie.
What's next? If you've seen two or more disaster movies, you know. Some amateur scientist has to discover the disaster before the real scientists do.  "She's a crazy, destructive bitch," he says, and somehow she's flattered.
The government is in a panic but keeps it under wraps, fearing "a breakdown of all social services." I guess when humanity only has two days to live, all it can depend on are its social services. The plan pushed by NASA operative Thornton is to send a mission to space to land on the meteor and drill a hole in it, drop a warhead in there and blow the meteor into two pieces, both of which will miss the earth. It's a brilliant plan and identical to the one in DEEP IMPACT.
The difference is, instead of astronauts, NASA picks Willis to head the mission. I think this is because the writers of ARMAGEDDON realized a crucial fact -- astronauts are boring. Much better to assemble a group of uncouth oil drillers to save the world. It's that same audience- manipulating underdog effect that worked in ID4, and one of the only things ARMAGEDDON really has going for it. The two leads are Willis and Affleck, who don't get along at the right times and then finally start getting along at the wrong time, as is Hollywood custom.
Then there's the rest of the crew, which consists of Buscemi and three people I didn't recognize. These characters exist to crack jokes about the end of the world and, in Buscemi's case, about pedophelia. (When the FBI men come to get him for the mission, he immediately blurts out, "She told me she was 18!") This is the second consecutive Bruckheimer movie that's had Buscemi as some kind of little girl lover, which makes me wonder whose idea that is. If I was Buscemi, I wouldn't be flattered if they called me every time they had a pedo role to fill.
From then on, ARMAGEDDON has what you'd expect -- the training montage, the launch, the refueling at the Mir station, the landing on the meteor, the attempt to drill into it. Each leg of the movie has at least one major thing that goes wrong as the music swells and the cast rushes to solve the problem. And toward the later sequences, at least one casualty per disaster. It gets old fairly fast, which isn't a good thing when your movie is almost three hours long.
Somewhere in there, Paris is destroyed, Affleck proposes to Tyler, four Aerosmith songs appear on the soundtrack and Buscemi goes crazy. Armageddon has some decent scenes of both suspense and destruction, but there's never any question that it will be anything other than a by-the-numbers summer blockbuster.
With each passing year, less effort goes into the writing than the production. The filmmakers instead pay off credible actors (John Cusack and John Malkovich in CON-AIR, for example) from other good movies so you'll think something like, "Oh wow, Thornton, Affleck and Buscemi all in the same movie. It must be good or they wouldn't be in it." I had my hunches before, but it wasn't until ARMAGEDDON that I finally realized you can't trust good actors and special effects to carry a movie.

Once a derivation succeeds, the Prolog system presents the
bindings for the variables in the query. In a CLP
system, the set of answer constraints is presented in analogy. A
complication in the CLP context are variables and associated
constraints that were not mentioned in the query. A motivating
example is the familiar mortgage
relation:
% library('clpqr/examples/mg')mg(P,T,I,B,MP):- { T = 1, B + MP = P * (1 + I) }. mg(P,T,I,B,MP):- { T > 1, P1 = P * (1 + I) - MP, T1 = T - 1 }, mg(P1, T1, I, B, MP).
A sample query yields:
clp(r) ?- [library('clpqr/examples/mg')]. clp(r) ?- mg(P,12,0.01,B,Mp). {B=1.1268250301319698*P-12.682503013196973*Mp}
Without projection of the answer constraints onto the query variables we would observe the following interaction:
clp(r) ?- mg(P,12,0.01,B,Mp). {B=12.682503013196973*_A-11.682503013196971*P}, {Mp= -(_A)+1.01*P}, {_B=2.01*_A-1.01*P}, {_C=3.0301*_A-2.0301*P}, {_D=4.060401000000001*_A-3.0604009999999997*P}, {_E=5.101005010000001*_A-4.10100501*P}, {_F=6.152015060100001*_A-5.152015060099999*P}, {_G=7.213535210701001*_A-6.213535210700999*P}, {_H=8.285670562808011*_A-7.285670562808009*P}, {_I=9.368527268436091*_A-8.36852726843609*P}, {_J=10.462212541120453*_A-9.46221254112045*P}, {_K=11.566834666531657*_A-10.566834666531655*P}
The variables _A ... _K are not part of the query, they originate from the mortgage program proper. Although the latter answer is equivalent to the former in terms of linear algebra, most users would prefer the former.

Shenmue 3 – how to make money fast, get loads of yuan quick
by Kirk McKeandMake money fast in Shenmue 3 in these easy steps – bankers hate me!
One of the biggest barriers in Shenmue 3 is your lack of cash. Whether you need Snake Power to battle, garlic to top up your health between battles, you need to make money for a quest, or you just want to spend all your money in the arcade, you’re gonna need some serious yuan.
Here’s the quickest way to make loads of dough in Shenmue 3.
Shenmue 3 – make money fast in Bailu Village
In the first location, money seems hard to come by. Chopping wood will only net you around 70 yuan each time, but that’s the foundation you need to build off to get some proper capital behind you.
Speak to Tao Guanzhong at the Tao Get Store, just over the Verdant Bridge, and agree to chop some wood. It’s the first shop you see if you head towards the town square from Shenhua’s house.
Ideally you want to get at least 350 yuan to start you off.
Next go past the cow paddock, keeping it on your right, and follow it round to where there are some gambling games. Spend 300 yuan on gambling tokens at Zhong Ziliu’s stand, getting 3,000 tokens. Keep the other 50 yuan on you.
Next, run through the village square, past the old man and take a left to the street sign. Follow to sign towards the Panda Market until you reach another sign. At the next sign, take a left and go to Sunset Hill.
Look out for the yin and yang sign and go into the shop there. Head inside to speak to Zhu Tianwen, the fortune teller. Pay her to give you a colour fortune.
Now head past the fortune teller to the gambling area just beyond her shop and to the right.
There’s a man there offering a range of games. You want to play Flower, Bird, Wind & Moon.
When the betting screen comes up, make the max bet of 1,000 tokens.
Now, remember your lucky colour? You need to bet on it here. Bird is green, moon is yellow, wind is blue, and flower is red.
Then drop the ball and hopefully you should win 4x your bet. Usually the odds are 1/4, but getting your lucky colour pretty much doubles your odds, sometimes a little more. You will occasionally lose, but keep going and you will earn much more than you put down.
Colour effects only last around two hours, so make sure you head back and get a new reading every couple of hours. If you lose three in a row, it’s time for a new reading.
Once you’ve got at least 20,000 tokens, take them to the Panda Market and buy stuff like gems from the prize exchange. Don’t buy things you can equip, like T-shirts, since you can’t sell these on for yuan.

Shenmue 3 – make money fast in Niaowu
In the second location, take the Main Street up towards the big neon GAME sign. Head past it to the right.  There’s an alley with a colour fortune teller on your left.
Head back down the stairs and head left into New Paradise and into the Golden Goose where you can buy tokens and play Flower, Bird, Wind & Moon.
At the end of the walkway here, there’s also a Prize Exchange in the white Prize Cafe, up the stairs. Buy gems there and head to the pawnbroker back down the stairs and next door to the left, at the end of the walkway.
If you’re after more, here’s our Shenmue 3 review.

I am a huge fan of Domain Driven Design and I have been trying to apply it more and more. I ran into a problem last week that kept beating me over the head though. I kept using a bottom up approach and kept coming up with terrible solutions. Finally, I took a more outside to in approach which cleaned up the solution. I credit Mark Seemann for the idea to work from the outside in. I am wanting to show some of the difficulties you can run into using a bottom up approach so that others don’t make the same mistakes that I did. Hopefully this little exercise helps provide others some guidance on how to get unstuck when attempting Domain Driven Design.
Our Refactoring Problem
I have a project where we are rebuilding how we calculate the replenishment logic for our Supply Chain. Replenishment is the process of ordering product from Vendors for your Warehouses so that we can fill customer orders. I work for an e-commerce company so Replenishment is at the heart of what we do.
The current solution is a monolith application which is all fed from an Azure SQL instance. It is comprised of a large set of batch process that run in order and populate tables in the database. This mess was inherited from an old system and has been warped beyond comprehension at this point. It is so fragile we don’t dare touch it. The plan is to decompose the monolith into separate services which communicate via messages. To do this though, we need to create those separate services. At the heart of one of those services is the analysis of Time Series data. This is my attempt to create a tiny little domain for modeling this analysis and the mistakes I made along the way.
Modeling TimeSeries Take 1: From the Bottom Up
All of our Replenishment logic is built on analyzing Time Series data. This data can be thought of as a array of tuples where one value is the timestamp and the other is the observed value, DateTimeOffset * 'a
.
What I set out to do is create a domain model that allows us to analyze these Time Series in a robust and performant way. My initial thought was, “I know that my data will always be Decimal
or String
so I can think of an ObservedValue
in my Time Series as a Discriminated Union and an Observation
is a record with a DateTimeOffset
and an ObservedValue
. A TimeSeries
is just an array of the type Observation
. When I am done with an analysis the result will be either decimal
or string
so I’ll define an AnalysisResult
type to contain the result.”
type ObservedValue =
| Decimal of decimal
| String of string
type Observation = {
DateTime : DateTimeOffset
Value : ObservedValue
}
type TimeSeries = array<Observation>
type AnalysisResult =
| Decimal of decimal
| String of string
This doesn’t seem bad so far. Now I need to add some basic functions for analyzing my TimeSeries
. Some simple and obvious ones are mean
, first
, and last
. There are actually many functions I will need but these will suffice to make my point. I now try to write these simple functions for my TimeSeries
type.
module TimeSeries =
let private create observedType t : TimeSeries =
t
|> Seq.map (fun (t, v) -> {DateTime = t; Value = observedType v})
|> Seq.toArray
let fromDecimal s : TimeSeries =
create ObservedValue.Decimal s
let fromString s : TimeSeries =
create ObservedValue.String s
let first (ts : TimeSeries) =
ts.[0].Value
let last (ts : TimeSeries) =
ts.[-1].Value
let mean (ts : TimeSeries) =
ts
|> Array.averageBy (fun x -> x.Value) // Error: The type ObservedValue does not support the operator '+'
I have encountered my first problem with this approach. I want to be able to take the mean
of my TimeSeries
but the ObservedValue
type does not support the +
operator. I think, “No problem, I’ll just add the +
operator.” I then look at the type again and realize I may be doing something wrong. Adding a decimal
to a decimal
makes sense and I also understand adding string
to string
but this is going to require me to have a +
defined for decimal
to string
and string
to decimal
. That does not make any sense.
Modeling TimeSeries Take 2: Homogenous Values
My problem is that I am allowing a single TimeSeries
to be heterogenous, containing both decimal
and string
values. Really a single TimeSeries
needs to be homogeneous, containing only decimal
or only string
. Okay, no problem! I’ll reformulate the domain to have the TimeSeries
be a Discriminated Union instead of the ObservedValue
.
open System
type Observation<'a> = {
DateTime : DateTimeOffset
Value : 'a
}
type TimeSeries =
| Decimal of array<Observation<decimal>>
| String of array<Observation<string>>
type AnalysisResult =
| Decimal of decimal
| String of string
Now let’s try to implement our analysis functions again. Don’t judge me for what you see next. Once I wrote it, I felt a little ill. I’ll go into why after the code.
module TimeSeries =
let private create observedType t : TimeSeries =
t
|> Seq.map (fun (t, v) -> {DateTime = t; Value = v})
|> Seq.toArray
|> observedType
let fromDecimal t =
create TimeSeries.Decimal t
let fromString t =
create TimeSeries.String t
let private map df sf ts =
match ts with
| TimeSeries.Decimal t -> df t
| TimeSeries.String t -> sf t
let first (ts : TimeSeries) =
let f = fun (t : array<Observation<'a>>) -> t.[0].Value
map (f >> AnalysisResult.Decimal) (f >> AnalysisResult.String) ts
let last (ts : TimeSeries) =
let f = fun (t : array<Observation<'a>>) -> t.[-1].Value
map (f >> AnalysisResult.Decimal) (f >> AnalysisResult.String) ts
let mean (ts : TimeSeries) =
let df =
fun (t : array<Observation<decimal>>) ->
t |> Array.averageBy (fun x -> x.Value) |> AnalysisResult.Decimal
let sf =
fun (t : array<Observation<string>>) -> "" |> AnalysisResult.String
map df sf ts
I will readily admit this is clunky. Let me explain the thought process. I know that the TimeSeries
type is a Discriminated Union and therefore I should have a map
like function for easily applying the correct function, depending on which value TimeSeries
takes on. In many cases I would use the exact same logic (Ex: first
and last
) so I just defined a generic function and used that for both arguments of the map
function.
When I get to the mean
function I run into another problem. It does not make sense to take the mean
of a set of string
observations but the code allows it. In this code I am returning an empty string
but that is not in line with the heart of what I am going for. If something does not make sense, I don’t want to allow it. I want invalid states to be unrepresentable in the code.
It’s at this point I start to feel really dumb. How can this be so hard? Here is what I am wanting to accomplish:
- Model a TimeSeries made up of either
decimal
orstring
- Reuse function logic wherever I can (DRY principle)
- Prevent unrepresentable states
Modeling TimeSeries Take 3: Generic TimeSeries
I would rather not admit how long I was stumped at this point. It felt like I was missing something glaringly obvious. I mulled on this problem for awhile until the next thought came to me, “What is really going on is that I have two special cases of TimeSeries<'a>
here. I have a TimeSeries<decimal>
and a TimeSeries<string>
. Why not have a full set of functions for TimeSeries<'a>
and then have two different types for the TimeSeries<decimal>
case and the TimeSeries<string>
case which only have a subset of the functions available?” Here is what I came up with.
open System
type Observation<'a> = {
DateTime : DateTimeOffset
Value : 'a
}
type TimeSeries<'a> = array<Observation<'a>>
type DecimalSeries = TimeSeries<decimal>
type StringSeries = TimeSeries<string>
type AnalysisResult =
| Decimal of decimal
| String of string
module TimeSeries =
let private create t : TimeSeries<'a>=
t
|> Seq.map (fun (t, v) -> {DateTime = t; Value = v} )
|> Seq.toArray
let private first (ts : TimeSeries<'a>) =
ts.[0].Value
let private last (ts : TimeSeries<'a>) =
ts.[-1].Value
let inline private mean (ts : TimeSeries<'a>) =
ts
|> Array.averageBy (fun x -> x.Value)
module DecimalSeries =
let create t : DecimalSeries =
create t
let first (ds : DecimalSeries) =
first ds |> AnalysisResult.Decimal
let last (ds : DecimalSeries) =
last ds |> AnalysisResult.Decimal
let mean (ds : DecimalSeries) =
mean ds |> AnalysisResult.Decimal
module StringSeries =
let create t : StringSeries =
create t
let first (ds : StringSeries) =
first ds |> AnalysisResult.String
let last (ds : StringSeries) =
last ds |> AnalysisResult.String
One thing to note, I had to add the keyword inline
to the mean
function in the TimeSeries
module. This makes the compiler figure out the types at the point the function is used. Now I am still not really proud of this code yet but it is accomplishing most of my goals. I am getting code reuse while being able to control which functions can be used by which type of TimeSeries
. Since I only define a create
function for the DecimalSeries
and StringSeries
types, I don’t have to fear someone creating a random TimeSeries<'a>
if they follow the convention of using the create
function. The functions for TimeSeries
are also private and can only be called from the sub-modules DecimalSeries
and StringSeries
.
Conclusion
I hope my failures prove useful and an encouragement to others wandering through the process of learning Domain Driven Design. This was just one small problem that made me feel rather silly as I wrestled with it. Maybe I will come up with a more elegant solution but as of now, I like the code reuse and guarantees this is providing me. If you have a better solution, please message me on Twitter (@McCrews). When you get stuck coding, remember most of progress feels like wandering down dark halls until you come to the light. Keep calm and curry on!

The Apostle (1997)
Director: Robert Duvall Written by: Robert Duvall Producers: Rob Carliner, Steven Brown (co-producer), Robert Duvall (executive), Ed Johnston (associate) Cast: Robert duvall, Farrah Fawcett, Miranda Richardson, Todd Allen, John Beasley, June Carter Cash, Walter Goggins, Billy Joe Shaver, Billy Bob Thornton Runtime: 148 min. Production Company: October Films Rated PG-13: Violence, thematic elements
By Nathaniel R. Atcheson<EMAIL_ADDRESS>If I ever again sit through a film about religion, I will compare it to Robert Duvall's The Apostle. The chances are, however, that it will not even come close to the pure emotional power and honesty of this film. Duvall, who has spent years making this wonderful film, deserves every bit of recognition he is now getting for it. Whatever wait we had to endure as the film slowly made its way into theaters, it is now clear that it was worth it.
I knew from the first scene that The Apostle is a special film. It is at this moment that we are introduced to Euliss "Sonny" Dewey (Duvall), a Texas preacher. In this opening moment, he stops at a roadside car wreck and sneaks out to a crashed car in which a mortally wounded man and his supposedly-dead wife lay. Within seconds, he has the young man opening his heart to Jesus, and it becomes clear that the fear of death has been wiped away in his acceptance. Scene after scene feels just like this one--this is a film of rare honesty.
Sonny, as everyone calls him, is well-liked in his community and church. At the time of the film, he has just lost the love of his wife, Jessie (Farrah Fawcett), to a young preacher named Horace (Todd Allen). Not long after this, he loses the right to preach in his own church. One day, while under the influence of alcohol, he goes to his son's baseball game and nails Horace with a baseball bat, putting the man in a coma. So, he flees Texas and heads to Louisiana, where he goes as "the Apostle E.F." With the help of local radio station owner Elmo (Rick Dial) and retired preacher Brother Blackwell (John Beasley), Sonny slowly establishes himself in the community by creating his own church.
There are so many things that I love about this film, but perhaps the most important is its spiritual focus. This is not a film about accepting religion and doing good things to go to Heaven. In fact, the word "religion" is said only once in the film, and it's not in religious context. Sonny wants to tell people that Jesus loves them, and that loving Jesus will make them happy. He wants people to know that we are to treat the Lord with respect, but still have a real relationship with him.
My favorite scene in the film is at the height of Sonny's troubles in Texas: he is up in the attic of his mother's house, shouting at God: "I love you God, but I'm pissed at you!" Then, when the phone rings, his mother answers it to find an angry neighbor complaining about all the noise. Silently, she hangs up the phone and allows her son to carry on. This scene, like so many in the film, are both moving and subtle at the same time, and they all point to one thing--these characters are real.
Sonny is one of my all-time favorite characters.  He drinks and commits violence and accepts that of himself; ultimately, he willingly pays the price for his actions. There's something so true about this man--he is a man of God, and yet he still asks a beautiful woman, Toosie (Miranda Richardson, doing one of the best Southern accents I've ever heard--especially from a British actress) on a date. During the date, he acts just like anyone else would, and at the end of the date, he has the same desires that the rest of us do. And he's such a charismatic man--the audience with whom I saw this film was swept away with Sonny's sermons.
Robert Duvall is this film; he is this character. I am so pleased that he has been nominated for Best Actor, for I can not think of a more deserving man in 1997 for the honor. Everything that I described above is conveyed so clearly by Duvall, and I, for one, have never seen a performance so energetic from a 67 year-old man before. Each time he opens his mouth, I forget that this is an actor trying to convince me.
Not only is Duvall's on-screen talent fully recognized here, but his work as writer/director couldn't be more effective. I continually felt absorbed in the film, never once having the urge to look at my watch or anywhere else away from the screen. Even though there isn't a cut-and-dry story, the events that unfold and ultimately lead to an astonishingly moving and memorable sermon held my interest at full-force for the entire running time. And there are subtly poignant moments scattered about the film--Sonny befriends a young mechanic named Sam (Walter Goggins), and the conclusion to this friendship is very powerful. And Billy Bob Thornton plays a trouble-making racist who wants to bulldoze the church, though Sonny talks him down in a moment that is extremely moving.
The Apostle is about an eccentric, maybe even crazed, individual who thrives on doing things that many moviegoers might find "abnormal" and "strange." I think the catch is that Duvall wants us to think that Sonny is over-the-top: this adds not only to the sheer entertainment that the film provides, but to the realism of his character. Sonny, while understanding his own sins, tries to atone for them by helping others. Everything in this film--from the colorful supporting characters to the emotionally-extreme scenes throughout--has all the spontaneity of real life. Duvall has crafted one of the very best films of 1997 here, a movie that I will think about and love for as long as I love movies.

Uses the ARIA role attribute with a value of link. This informs the browser that it should expose the link as a link through its accessibility API.
Uses the HTML tabindex attribute with a value of 0. This places the link into the tab order based on its location in the source order. The visual appearance of the link also changes when focus moves to it.
Keyboard interaction for the link is provided through scripting. The enter key event is captured, and used to trigger the link's expected behaviour.


Bard aka Erwin M. Garcia Jr. is a 2nd year college student at Asia Pacific College, currently taking a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. He lives at Caloocan City and commutes daily by train to and from school. Bard is a simple man, he eats, he sleeps, does housework, goes to school, repeat. Not much drama in Bard's life, his plans are simple. Get a job, and retire peacefully somewhere in the province.
I took up computer science mainly because the job opportunities are great and is currently in demand, it also matches quite well with my hobbies since I like to play computer games, so thinking might as well try to delve deeper on what I like.
Well Bard is a character from a video game called "League of Legends" I was quite proficient at using the character until my friends started calling me that way. I adapted the name to this day.

Brown Sugar Is The Custom RV We're Dying To See Most At SEMA
There’s brown everywhere.
by Anthony AlanizSEMA is a whiz-bang automotive assault on the sense with a litany of aftermarket tuners, modifiers, equipment makers, and more hoping to make a splash at the show. Automakers themselves have gotten in on the action, too, bringing their own tarted-up concepts that often preview or showcase OEM aftermarket parts and accessories. SEMA is also where teams of builders present their latest and greatest rides, and while there will be plenty to see at this year’s show, there’s one we can’t wait to get our eyes on – Brown Sugar. It’s a modified Chevy pickup with a camper that looks right out of the 1970s.
Here's What Else SEMA Will Have:
Details are difficult to find online. The shop, River City Rods & Fabrication in Davenport, Iowa, has a ton of updates on its Facebook page showing the build’s progress – and crunch time late last month. The company posted to Facebook October 30 that it’d completed the build, and boy does it look cool.
The project started as a traditional RV with the fully enclosed boxed camper behind the cab. The team took that away, added a box, and installed a custom in-bed camper. The bed allows the 1970s-era graphics to run uninterrupted from the hood, over the fenders, down the side, and to the back. The various yellows, reds, and oranges contrast beautifully with the dark brown metallic paint.

But the exterior is only one part of the build. The inside is just as impressive with the dark theme continuing inside thanks to a liberal use of various woods. Photos are limited, but we can see that there is a TV, which appears to fold up and down, allowing for additional sleeping space above the cab. There’s a Coca-Cola sink, plenty of storage and a microwave. We don’t see any shower or toilet, but the photos are limited, so they are likely there and hidden from view. Oh, and there appears to be a red velvet headliner.
Thankfully, the wait is short to see Brown Sugar in all its glory. The team put it on a trailer destined for Vegas last week, and the show kicks off tomorrow. We’ll have to find this straightaway.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds release uplifting new single, ‘Wandering Star’ – listen now
"It’s that good, it sounds like it took 5.4 people to come up with it."
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have released an uplifting new single ‘Wandering Star’ today – you can listen below.

Yesterday, Gallagher teased that new music was on the way after sharing a snippet of the new song from his upcoming, third EP., ‘Blue Moon Rising.’ The EP will be released on March 6 2020.
Speaking about the single, Noel said: “It was written in Abbey Road last November on the same day I wrote ‘Black Star Dancing’.
“It’s that good, it sounds like it took 5.4 people to come up with it. It’s already a live standard and we haven’t even played it yet.”
You can listen to the new song here:
The upcoming EP features three new songs plus remixes of the title track, ‘Blue Moon Rising’. The full EP track-listing is:
1. Blue Moon Rising
2. Wandering Star
3. Come On Outside
4. Blue Moon Rising (The Reflex Revision)
5. Blue Moon Rising (7” Mix)
Gallagher recently released the acclaimed ‘This Is The Place‘ – the second of three EPs coming in 2019, following on from June’s ‘Black Star Dancing.’
Reviewing Gallagher’s Manchester-inspired ‘This is the Place’ EP, NME wrote: “To quote Tony Walsh’s poem on the treasures of Manchester: “It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing, from the stands, from our bands, set the whole planet shaking”. While Gallagher’s done well to remember that, he’s gone back to his roots but taken them to strange new places.
“Imagine what Oasis could have been if they’d have had the bravery to match this bombast in their latter years.”
Gallagher also recently announced a huge one-off headline show at London’s Kenwood House for 2020.

There are no end of varieties of hummus in the supermarket. This one is loaded with sweet roasted red pepper, making it much lighter.
This meal, if served as eight portions, provides 67kcal, 3g protein, 9g carbohydrate (of which 4g sugars), 1.5g fat (of which 0.2g saturates), 3g fibre and 0.3g salt.
Preheat the grill to its hottest setting and line a grill pan or baking tray with foil.
Cut the peppers and chilli in half lengthways and place them, cut side down, on the lined tray.
Grill the peppers for 10-15 minutes or until the skins are black all over. With a pair of tongs, transfer the hot peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with cling film. The steam will help finish cooking the peppers and loosen their skins. Leave to cool for 10 minutes or so.
Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a small frying pan. Add the chopped onion and fry over a medium heat for five minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the ground coriander and ground cumin, then leave to cool for five minutes.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off their skins. There may be some little flecks of burnt pepper skin left on, but resist the temptation to rinse the peppers. This all adds to the flavour.
Scoop the spiced onion mixture into the bowl of a food processor with the pepper flesh and any juices from the bottom of the bowl. Then add the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and zest and pomegranate molasses, if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth, stopping to push down any escaping chickpeas with a spatula. You may need to add a couple of spoonfuls of water to thin the hummus to a lighter consistency. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Spoon the dip into a serving dish and serve as a dip for carrot sticks, cucumber or hot flatbreads. Store it in the fridge and eat within three days.


This implements the methods developed in, L. Bybee and Y. Atchade. (2017) <arXiv:1707.04306>. Contains a series of methods for estimating change-points given user specified black-box models. The methods include binary segmentation for multiple change-point estimation. For estimating each individual change-point the package includes simulated annealing, brute force, and, for Gaussian graphical models, an application specific rank-one update implementation. Additionally, code for estimating Gaussian graphical models is included. The goal of this package is to allow for the efficient estimation of change-points in complicated models with high dimensional data.

Ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach GLS revealed
Aimed at taking on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga, the German SUV will go on sale late in 2020
Mercedes is looking to take on Rolls-Royce and Bentley with an ultra-luxurious version of its GLS SUV.
This is the Mercedes-Maybach GLS — this first SUV to use the Maybach moniker. Though on the same platform and body as the regular GLS, it takes on distinctive styling changes to distinguish itself as the most luxurious offering in the range.
Up front, a completely redesigned front bumper sees a large badge-less grille sit above a large mesh panel, while the option of a two-tone paint finish is on offer. 22- or 23-inch alloy wheels can be specified, and Mercedes’ Multibeam LED headlight system is a standard fixture.
Powering the Maybach GLS is an AMG-derived 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It sends its 550bhp and 730Nm of torque to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox, with an additional 22bhp and 250Nm available from a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. As a result, 0-60mph comes in 4.7 seconds with the car’s top speed electronically limited to 155mph.
One final key change to the Maybach GLS’ exterior is the addition of electronically-activated running boards. These units retract when one of the doors which, along with the air suspension dropping the car’s ride height by 25mm, allows for easier access to the cabin.
It’s inside the cabin where the biggest changes come, however. Though the layout of controls and dials is largely the same, there’s now a four-seat option available — aimed at delivering maximum passenger comfort.
A plethora of high-quality leathers are used throughout, while the two rear seats are capable of reclining. The rear row also benefits from a fixed centre console which houses separate climate control functions and an optional champagne cooler.
Mercedes’ MBUX infotainment system is a standard-fit item, albeit with Maybach-specific visual changes. A 64-colour ambient lighting system is also included, along with a 27-speaker Burmester audio setup.
Pricing and specifications for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS are yet to be confirmed, though deliveries are expected in the latter half of 2020. A price well north of £150,000 is a safe expectation, with optional extras sending that even higher.


module WEBrick::HTTPAuth
HTTPAuth
provides both basic and digest authentication.
To enable authentication for requests in WEBrick
you will need a user database and an authenticator. To start, here's an Htpasswd
database for use with a DigestAuth
authenticator:
config = { :Realm => 'DigestAuth example realm' } htpasswd = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::Htpasswd.new 'my_password_file' htpasswd.auth_type = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth htpasswd.set_passwd config[:Realm], 'username', 'password' htpasswd.flush
The :Realm
is used to provide different access to different groups across several resources on a server. Typically you'll need only one realm for a server.
This database can be used to create an authenticator:
config[:UserDB] = htpasswd digest_auth = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth.new config
To authenticate a request call authenticate with a request and response object in a servlet:
def do_GET req, res @authenticator.authenticate req, res end
For digest authentication the authenticator must not be created every request, it must be passed in as an option via WEBrick::HTTPServer#mount
.
Public Instance Methods
Simple wrapper for providing basic authentication for a request. When called with a request req
, response res
, authentication realm
and block
the block will be called with a username
and password
. If the block returns true the request is allowed to continue, otherwise an HTTPStatus::Unauthorized error is raised.
# File lib/webrick/httpauth.rb, line 79 def basic_auth(req, res, realm, &block) # :yield: username, password _basic_auth(req, res, realm, "Authorization", "WWW-Authenticate", HTTPStatus::Unauthorized, block) end
Simple wrapper for providing basic authentication for a proxied request. When called with a request req
, response res
, authentication realm
and block
the block will be called with a username
and password
. If the block returns true the request is allowed to continue, otherwise an HTTPStatus::ProxyAuthenticationRequired error is raised.
# File lib/webrick/httpauth.rb, line 91 def proxy_basic_auth(req, res, realm, &block) # :yield: username, password _basic_auth(req, res, realm, "Proxy-Authorization", "Proxy-Authenticate", HTTPStatus::ProxyAuthenticationRequired, block) end

The Problem
Test databases are very easy to get wrong. Very easy. Decades ago when I first learned testing, the team shared a test database. If you ran your test at the same time another developer, both of your test suites would fail! However, we were using a database where we had to pay for individual licenses, so we were limited in what we could do.
Later, I worked for a company using MySQL and I created an elaborate system of triggers to track all database changes. This let me “fake” transactions by starting a test run, see what had changed last time, and automatically reverting those changes. It had the advantage that multiple database handles could see each other’s changes (hard to do for many databases if you have separate transactions). It had the disadvantage of everything else: it was fragile and slow.
Later, I started using xUnit frameworks, eventually writing a new one that’s popular for companies needing a large-scale testing solution. With this, it was easy for each test class to run in a separate transaction, cleaning itself up as it went. Using transactions provides great isolation, leverages what databases are already good at, and let’s you run many classes in parallel.
But it can easily break embedded transaction logic. And you have to guarantee everything shares the same database handle, and you can’t really test the transactions in your code, and, and, and ...
What finally drove me over the edge was writing some code for a client using the Minion job queue . The queue is solid, but it creates new database connections, thus ensuring that it can’t see anything in your database transactions. I figured out a (hackish) solution, but I was tired of hackish solutions.
While I was researching the solution, Matt Trout was reminding me (again) why the “database transactions for tests” approach was broken. Just spawn off temporary test databases and use those, throwing them away when you’re done.
The Client
So a company wanting to hire me gave me a technical test and there was a task
to add a small, simple feature to a Catalyst web
application . It was trivial. They handed
me a Vagrant file and after a quick vagrant up
and vagrant ssh
, I was
ready to begin. Then I looked at the test they had for the controller:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use Catalyst::Test 'Client';
ok( request('/some_path')->is_success, 'Request should succeed' );
done_testing();
The task involved a POST
to a URL. There was no test for the existing feature
that I was adding to, but any test I wrote meant I’d be changing the state of
the database. Run the code multiple times and I’d leave junk in the database.
There were various ways I could approach this, but I decided it was time to build
a quick database on the fly, write to that, and then dispose of it after. The
code for this was trivial:
package Test::DB;
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
use DBI;
use parent 'Exporter';
use Client::Policy;
BEGIN {
if ( exists $INC{'Client/Model/ClientDB.pm'} ) {
croak("You must load Test::DB before Client::Model::ClientDB");
}
}
use Client::Model::ClientDB;
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(test_dbh);
my $connect_info = Client::Model::ClientDB->config->{connect_info};
my $dsn = $connect_info->{dsn};
my $user = $connect_info->{user};
my $password = $connect_info->{password};
# $$ is the process id (PID)
my $db_name = sprintf 'test_db_%d_%d', time, $$;
my ( $fh, $filename ) = tempfile();
my $dbh = DBI->connect(
$dsn, $user, $password,
{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }
);
$dbh->do("CREATE DATABASE $db_name");
system("mysqldump -u $user --password=$password test_db > $filename") == 0
or croak("mysqldump failed: $?");
system("mysql -u $user --password=$password $db_name < $filename") == 0
or croak("importing schema to mysql failed: $?");
# XXX We’re being naughty in this quick hack. We’re writing
# this back to the Model so that modules which use this connect
# to the correct database.
$connect_info->{dsn} = "dbi:mysql:$db_name";
# This is just a quick hack to get tests working for this code.
# A catastrophic failure in the test means this might not get
# run and we have a junk test database lying around.
# Obviously we want something far more robust
END { $dbh->do("DROP DATABASE $db_name") }
sub test_dbh () { $dbh }
1;
The above is very naughty in many ways, but the client hinted that how fast I returned the test might be a factor (or maybe they didn’t and I misread the signals). They also made it clear they were looking at how I approached problems, not whether or not the code was perfect. Thus, I thought I was on safe territory. And it meant I could do this in my test:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use lib 't/lib';
use Test::DB;
use Catalyst::Test 'Client';
ok( request('/some_path')->is_success, 'Request should succeed' );
# anything I do here is against a temporary test database
# and will be discarded when the test finishes
done_testing();
The Test::DB
code was quick and easy to write and made it trivial for me
to safely write tests. I was pleased.
What’s Wrong With Test::DB?
For a junior developer, Test::DB
might look awesome. For an experienced
developer, it’s terrible. So what would I do to make it closer to production
ready?
Here are just a few of the things I would consider.
Stronger Data Validation
First, let’s look at our connection information:
my $connect_info = Client::Model::ClientDB->config->{connect_info};
my $dsn = $connect_info->{dsn};
my $user = $connect_info->{user};
my $password = $connect_info->{password};
The above relied on how Catalyst often sets up its DBIx::Class (a Perl ORM) model:
package Client::Model::ClientDB;
use strict;
use base 'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema';
__PACKAGE__->config(
schema_class => 'Client::Schema::ClientDB',
connect_info => {
dsn => 'dbi:mysql:test_db',
user => 'root',
password => 'rootpass',
}
);
Once you load that class, you get a config
class method which can tell you
how that class is configured. However, there’s no guarantee in the Test::DB
side that the data is structured the way that I expect. Thus, I need to validate
that data and throw an exception immediately if something has changed.
And how do we create our test database?
$dbh->do("CREATE DATABASE $db_name");
system("mysqldump -u $user --password=$password test_db > $filename") == 0
or croak("mysqldump failed: $?");
system("mysql -u $user --password=$password $db_name < $filename") == 0
or croak("importing schema to mysql failed: $?");
The CREATE DATABASE
command is fast, so I’m not worried about that. And the
test had a single table with very little data, so this was quick. But for Tau
Station , we have a couple of hundred tables and
tons of data. This would be slow. For any reasonably mature system, dumping
the database each time would be a bad idea. There are also ways you could
easily avoid dumping it multiple times, but that hits the next problem: adding
that data to your new test database. That would need to be done for each test
and that is not something you can trivially speed up.
For a more robust system, I’d probably create a local database service that would simply build a set number of test databases and have them waiting. The test would request the next test database, the service would regist that the database had been taken, and create a new test database in the background while your test runs. The service would also probably clean up old test databases based on whatever policies you think are appropriate.
No Action At A Distance
This line is terrible:
$connect_info->{dsn} = "dbi:mysql:$db_name";
The reason that works is because the config
data in
Client::Model::ClientDB
is global and mutable and $connect_info
is
merely a reference to that data. Instead, if I have a “database service” that
tells the code which database it can use, then Test::DB
can call that
service, and so can Client::Model::ClientDB
.
Don’t Drop The Test Database
If there is one thing which I hate about many testing systems, it’s a watching a test horribly fail, but the database is cleaned up (or dropped) and I can’t see the actual data after the test is done. What I often have to do is fire up the debugger and run the code up to the test failure and grab a database handle and try to inspect the data that way. It’s a mess.
Here, we can fix that by simply dropping this line:
END { $dbh->do("DROP DATABASE $db_name") }
At the beginning and end of every test run, we can diag
the test database
name and if I need to see if there’s an issue in the database, I can still use
it. Our database service would have code to drop the database on:
- The next day
- The next test run
- After exceeding a threshold of databases
- ... or whatever else you need
In short, keep the valuable data around for debugging.
Rapid Database Development
The database service solution would also have to tie into your database
change management strategy. I heavily use sqitch to
manage database changes and I’ve written a lot of code to support odd edge
cases. It wouldn’t be hard to write code to let the database service see if
it’s up to date with your local version of sqitch
. Whatever database change
management strategy you use, it needs to be discoverable to properly automate
the database service.
 Yet you’d be shocked how many times I’ve
worked with clients whose database change management strategy involves listing
a bunch of SQL files and checking their mtime
to see which ones need to be
applied to your database. Yikes!
Faster Tests
If this is done well, your tests should also be faster. You won’t have the overhead of transactions beyond what your code already has. Plus, you can avoid issues like this:
sub test_basic_combat_attack_behavior ($test,$) {
my $ovid = $test->load_fixture('character.ovid');
my $winston = $test->load_fixture('character.winston');
my $station = $test->load_fixture('station.tau-station');
$test-> move_to($station->port, $ovid, $winston);
ok !$ovid->attack($winston),
'We should not be able to attack someone on the home station.';
...
}
In the above, we’re loading some fixtures. Sometimes those fixtures are very
complicated and loading them takes time. For one client, when I would run
$test->load_all_fixtures('connection');
, that would add an extra couple of
seconds to every test which needed to do that.
Instead, pre-built test databases can have the test fixtures already loaded. Further, having a pre-populated database helps your code deal with something closer to a real-world problem instead of dealing with an empty database and not catching corner cases that might cause.
Conclusion
By using a database service which merely hands you a temporary test database, you don’t have to worry about leaving the database a mess, managing transactions in tests, or having nasty hacks in your tests to workaround these issues. Most importantly, you’re not changing the behavior of your code. You just use the database like normal. It might be a little bit more work up front to create that database, but it’s worth the effort.
I really do want to get around to creating a proper database tool like this some day. Today is not that day. But I was delighted how even my quick hack, written in just a couple of minutes, made it so much easier to test my code. I should have done this ages ago.

Many people think they are quick witted and have the ability to think fast. When in the situation of CSH, how fast can you blurt out an answer before your opponent can?
Anomia plays on the fact that our brains are brimming with random information (songs, presidents, animals). It's easy enough to give an example of anything, but you will find out that your brain does not perform as well as you would think under pressure! CSH Anomia tests your ability to think fast and come up with a correct CSH related answer before the person you're playing against shouts against you.
We took a twist on the game Anomia, and all of the categories are related to CSH.

Hello,
I have a test emoncms setup separate from my main one.
I use it currently to log an electric boiler. However i'm having trouble pulling a correct bar graph.
I have a feed logging to an accumulating kwh feed AND a kwd-d feed.
On today's kwh-d feed i can see in the feeds menu that i have 0.86kWh, which seems correct. However i can not seem to get that number from a graph.
I hve attached screenshots from both methods of creatging bargraphs from the accumulator and daily feeds.
You can also see the kwh-d graph starts on thursday, but the data only started on friday.
The accumulated graph starts at the correct day, but that's about all i can say is right...
My timezone's are correct in emoncms and linux. I don't have redis enabled on this instance, but that has no influence on this right?
Also, on my main server when i pull a graph from the accumulated feed, the current day is always missing.
When i use the daily feeds, i can see the current day.
How is this?
I'm running 9.4 on both systems.
I searched around a bit, but did not find more info or a solution apart from checking timezones and such.
Thx guys, and happy easter :)
Re: Bargraph data wrong
Hello Beire, are you starting with a power feed from an emontx/emonpi? The input processor you want for accumulating kWh using a power feed as the input is the power_to_kwh input processor.
Re: Bargraph data wrong
It's not from an emonpi. But i AM starting from an input measuring power in Watt. Just like the emonpi.
This input is logging to a feed with the power to kWh processor AND a power to kwhd.
Re: Bargraph data wrong
Ok great, is the kwh.png what you would expect? 6.5 kWh over that period? I think you might just need a bit more data, the bargraph using cumulative kWh feeds requires at least 2 midnights in the period.
Re: Bargraph data wrong
Yes the kWh.png is what i can expect and corresponds with the physical power meter.
I'll wait a bit longer then for more data to accumulate.
Can you tell me why the current day is always left out of the graphs? It's missing in the accumulated feed graph. The daily feed graph shows today but seems to be yesterday actually.
So it seems both don't show today and daily feedgraph is wrong by one day?
