11. Planning and Acting in the Real World
The goals we have considered so far all ask the planner to make the world satisfy the goal at just one time step. Not all goals can be expressed this way: you do not achieve the goal of suspending a chandelier above the ground by throwing it in the air. More seriously, you wouldn’t want your spacecraft life-support system to supply oxygen one day but not the next. A maintenance goal is achieved when the agent’s plan causes a condition to hold continuously from a given state onward. Describe how to extend the formalism of this chapter to support maintenance goals.
You have a number of trucks with which to deliver a set of packages. Each package starts at some location on a grid map, and has a destination somewhere else. Each truck is directly controlled by moving forward and turning. Construct a hierarchy of high-level actions for this problem. What knowledge about the solution does your hierarchy encode?
Exercise 11.3 [HLA-unique-exercise]
Suppose that a high-level action has exactly one implementation as a sequence of primitive actions. Give an algorithm for computing its preconditions and effects, given the complete refinement hierarchy and schemas for the primitive actions.
Suppose that the optimistic reachable set of a high-level plan is a superset of the goal set; can anything be concluded about whether the plan achieves the goal? What if the pessimistic reachable set doesn’t intersect the goal set? Explain.
Exercise 11.5 [HLA-progression-exercise]
Write an algorithm that takes an initial state (specified by a set of propositional literals) and a sequence of HLAs (each defined by preconditions and angelic specifications of optimistic and pessimistic reachable sets) and computes optimistic and pessimistic descriptions of the reachable set of the sequence.
In Figure jobshop-cpm-figure we showed how to describe actions in a scheduling problem by using separate fields for , , and . Now suppose we wanted to combine scheduling with nondeterministic planning, which requires nondeterministic and conditional effects. Consider each of the three fields and explain if they should remain separate fields, or if they should become effects of the action. Give an example for each of the three.
Some of the operations in standard programming languages can be modeled as actions that change the state of the world. For example, the assignment operation changes the contents of a memory location, and the print operation changes the state of the output stream. A program consisting of these operations can also be considered as a plan, whose goal is given by the specification of the program. Therefore, planning algorithms can be used to construct programs that achieve a given specification.
-
Write an action schema for the assignment operator (assigning the value of one variable to another). Remember that the original value will be overwritten!
-
Show how object creation can be used by a planner to produce a plan for exchanging the values of two variables by using a temporary variable.
Consider the following argument: In a framework that allows uncertain initial states, nondeterministic effects are just a notational convenience, not a source of additional representational power. For any action schema $a$ with nondeterministic effect $P \lor Q$, we could always replace it with the conditional effects ${~R{:}~P} \land {~\lnot R{:}~Q}$, which in turn can be reduced to two regular actions. The proposition $R$ stands for a random proposition that is unknown in the initial state and for which there are no sensing actions. Is this argument correct? Consider separately two cases, one in which only one instance of action schema $a$ is in the plan, the other in which more than one instance is.
Exercise 11.9 [conformant-flip-literal-exercise]
Suppose the ${Flip}$ action always changes the truth value of variable $L$. Show how to define its effects by using an action schema with conditional effects. Show that, despite the use of conditional effects, a 1-CNF belief state representation remains in 1-CNF after a ${Flip}$.
In the blocks world we were forced to introduce two action schemas, ${Move}$ and ${MoveToTable}$, in order to maintain the ${Clear}$ predicate properly. Show how conditional effects can be used to represent both of these cases with a single action.
Exercise 11.11 [alt-vacuum-exercise]
Conditional effects were illustrated for the ${Suck}$ action in the vacuum world—which square becomes clean depends on which square the robot is in. Can you think of a new set of propositional variables to define states of the vacuum world, such that ${Suck}$ has an unconditional description? Write out the descriptions of ${Suck}$, ${Left}$, and ${Right}$, using your propositions, and demonstrate that they suffice to describe all possible states of the world.
Find a suitably dirty carpet, free of obstacles, and vacuum it. Draw the path taken by the vacuum cleaner as accurately as you can. Explain it, with reference to the forms of planning discussed in this chapter.
The following quotes are from the backs of shampoo bottles. Identify each as an unconditional, conditional, or execution-monitoring plan. (a) “Lather. Rinse. Repeat.” (b) “Apply shampoo to scalp and let it remain for several minutes. Rinse and repeat if necessary.” (c) “See a doctor if problems persist.”
Consider the following problem: A patient arrives at the doctor’s office with symptoms that could have been caused either by dehydration or by disease $D$ (but not both). There are two possible actions: ${Drink}$, which unconditionally cures dehydration, and ${Medicate}$, which cures disease $D$ but has an undesirable side effect if taken when the patient is dehydrated. Write the problem description, and diagram a sensorless plan that solves the problem, enumerating all relevant possible worlds.
To the medication problem in the previous exercise, add a ${Test}$ action that has the conditional effect ${CultureGrowth}$ when ${Disease}$ is true and in any case has the perceptual effect ${Known}({CultureGrowth})$. Diagram a conditional plan that solves the problem and minimizes the use of the ${Medicate}$ action.

#image_pull_credentials_type ⇒ String
(rw)
The type of credentials ::Aws::CodeBuild
uses to pull images in your build.
There are two valid values:
CODEBUILD
specifies that::Aws::CodeBuild
uses its own credentials. This requires that you modify your ECR repository policy to trust CodeBuild service principal.SERVICE_ROLE
specifies that::Aws::CodeBuild
uses your build project's service role.
When you use a cross-account or private registry image, you must use
SERVICE_ROLE credentials. When you use an ::Aws::CodeBuild
curated image,
you must use CODEBUILD credentials.

#privileged_mode ⇒ Boolean
(rw)
Enables running the Docker daemon inside a Docker container. Set to
true only if the build project is used to build Docker images.
Otherwise, a build that attempts to interact with the Docker daemon
fails. The default setting is false
.
You can initialize the Docker daemon during the install phase of your build by adding one of the following sets of commands to the install phase of your buildspec file:
If the operating system's base image is Ubuntu Linux:
- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
--host=tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:2375 --storage-driver=overlay&
- timeout 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"
If the operating system's base image is Alpine Linux and the
previous command does not work, add the -t
argument to timeout
:
- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
--host=tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:2375 --storage-driver=overlay&
- timeout -t 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1;
done"

Combinators only control the application of functions. Because a non-function operand applies as a constant function, some combinators have extra meanings when passed a constant. For example, 0˜
is the constant function that always returns 0 and 0⊸<
is the function that tests whether its right argument is greater than 0.
| Glyph | Name(s) | Definition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
˜ |
Self/Swap | {𝕩𝔽𝕨⊣𝕩} |
Duplicate one argument or exchange two |
∘ |
Atop | {𝔽𝕨𝔾𝕩} |
Apply 𝔾 to both arguments and 𝔽 to the result |
○ |
Over | {(𝔾𝕨)𝔽𝔾𝕩} |
Apply 𝔾 to each argument and 𝔽 to the results |
⊸ |
Before/Bind | {(𝔽𝕨⊣𝕩)𝔾𝕩} |
𝔾 's left argument comes from 𝔽 |
⟜ |
After/Bind | {(𝕨⊣𝕩)𝔽𝔾𝕩} |
𝔽 's right argument comes from 𝔾 |
⌾ |
Under | {𝔾⁼∘𝔽○𝔾} OR {(𝔾𝕩)↩𝕨𝔽○𝔾𝕩⋄𝕩} |
Apply 𝔽 over 𝔾 , then undo 𝔾 |
⊘ |
Valences | {𝔽𝕩;𝕨𝔾𝕩} |
Apply 𝔽 if there's one argument but 𝔾 if there are two |
◶ |
Choose | {f←(𝕨𝔽𝕩)⊑𝕘 ⋄ 𝕨F𝕩} |
Select one of the functions in list 𝕘 based on 𝔽 |
Choose isn't really a combinator since it calls the function ⊑
, and Under is not a true combinator since it has an "undo" step at the end. This step might be implemented using the left operand's inverse (computational Under) or its structural properties (structural Under).
Other modifiers control array traversal and iteration. In three cases a simpler 1-modifier is paired with a generalized 2-modifier: in each case the 1-modifier happens to be the same as the 2-modifier with a right operand of ¯1
.

How do I submit a tune?
The original intention of midi2abc was to allow you to use a midi piano or a similar device as an input method which could generate simple abc representations of traditional tunes so that they could then be submitted to tradtunedb.
You must first get hold of a simple midi recording of the tune in question. It is important that midi2abc is able to find the melody within this recording, which should consist of only one instrument or 'voice' and should be played relatively simply, without chords and with a minimum of ornamentation. The recording can either be a single-track recording, or multi-track if you are able to determine the track that holds the melody. If the generated abc is to be at all accurate, the tune should be played strictly in rhythm. The file type of the recording should be '.mid' or '.midi' and the file should not be too large. You then need to click on 'select file' and enter the location of this file. After this, you will be asked for some information about the tune.
What tune information is required?
Midi track. If you have recorded to a single track midi file, it doesn't matter what you enter here because it will be implicitly recorded on track zero (no other tracks are present). Otherwise, choose the number of the track that contains the melody.
Lead in bar length. Some tunes start exactly on the first beat of the bar, in which case you should enter 'none'. Others may have a few lead-in notes before the first proper bar is reached. In such cases you should enter the length of this introductory bar, expressed as a fraction of a whole note duration. In other cases, the midi recording will start with a few measures of 'rest' in which case, although there is a lead-in, it is catered for in the recording. If, for example, you have an introductory bar consisting of a crochet with the rests before it not recorded, you would enter '1/4' for the introduction length. You can thus use this setting to shift the position of the bar line slightly forwards or backwards until it matches the tune.
Default note length It doesn't matter too much what you choose here. It affects the representation used by abc to describe a note duration. Typically you would use 1/8 for tunes with a preponderance of long notes (minims and crochets) and 1/16 for tunes with a preponderance of short notes (quavers and semiquavers).
Rhythm. Currently a set of rhythms is available which correspond in the main to Celtic or Scandinavian tune forms and are consistent with the rhythms supported by tradtunedb. Choose the rhythm which most closely describes your tune, and contact us if you feel that this list needs to be extended.
Key. Simply the home key of the tune. Although this information is usually in the midi file itself, it seems very often to be inaccurate.
Mode. Major or Minor. Other modes (e.g. Mixolydian) may be added later if there is sufficient demand.
If you are unhappy with the abc that is produced, you can keep altering the tune information and regenerating the abc until (hopefully) you are satisfied with it.
Are there any known issues or restrictions?
Some information that you would expect in a score simply does not exist in a recognisable form in a midi recording and so would have to be added later by editing the generated abc. This includes repeated sections, articulations and so on.
Chords will tend to confuse the translation, as will most grace notes. In most cases, where more than one note is recorded to sound together, the first note that is discovered will be used and the others ignored.


Is your turn to build the oprrations.
For this exercise you have to implement the index method for TransactionController.
For this you have to:
- Create the a new controller called TransactionController, remember it is a resource controller y needs to use the Transactions model
- This controller will have the index and show methods only, but for this exercices you need to implement only the index method.
- Remember that the routes of this controller already exists, so you do not need to create it..
- The index method must return the list of ALL the transactions.
If you have any problem, question or sugestion, please let me know, I will reply as soon as possible. Of course, before to ask, be sure to try before several times, and check the source code with the solution.
Good luck!

After World War II, this area developed a reputation as black market of sorts, and flourished as a result. As the Japanese economy stared to grow rapidly, the area started to be a hub for electronics, including components and software. Nowadays, Akihabara's Electric Town is slowly declining under the pressure of competition from consumer electronics giants, which has caused many small and medium sized businesses to disappear from the area. That being said, big box consumer electronics stores don't carry geeky electronic parts, meaning that a niche for unique shops are still exists in Electric Town. In the area, you can still find the classic stores that geeks the world over have made pilgrimage to. On this site, I'd like to introduce some of these hidden gems to you. Still a work in progress.

This is an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal.
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length.
A scalene triangle is a triangle that has three unequal sides.
If the sum of any two sides of the triangle is equal to or less than the third remaining side, then a triangle CANNOT be formed using those values.


Description
The Tab Control sample demonstrates the use of the ITabControl and ITabPage classes. The ITabControl has features for managing push buttons and context help. Three ITabPages are created. Each page exploits delayed page window creation when the page is selected for view. The first page contains user controls and common buttons defined in the library. You cannot turn to another page until the criteria in validatePageWindow() is met. The second page contains user controls, two user buttons, and one button defined in the library. The third page contains a photograph and common buttons defined in the library.
This sample demonstrates builtin help for each ITabPage. The use of IPF formatted information source files, RTF formatted information source files, and resource file help tables is also demonstrated.
Concept
Sample program demonstrates a tab control, tab page, static text, entry fields, push buttons, radio buttons, view ports, bitmaps, and help. The controls on the Statistics page are not editable.
Task
Fill in the first and last name of the sponsor. Select a cheetah from the list. Now, you can click the Statistics and Photo tab pages.
Special Notes:
The sample attempts to load its help from its current working directory.

Final Project: Runtime Terror Game Engine
This webpage contains information for a game engine we created as a part of the course CS 4850/5850 Building Game Engines.
Wow Factor
- Functionality of load/save project so that the user can continue working on a project.
- A status panel at the bottom that tells the user about the status of the game configuration.
- Functionality to add any property to a given game object which can be used in the python scripts.
Our Engine focuses more on the APIs rather that the tile editor because we wanted to make our engine as generic as possible. As a result we were able to create a variety of 2D games - like platformers & arcade games as shown below. We also used Box2D to handle physics throughout our system and provided a clean abstraction over our APIs to use Physics in the game - All the user needs to do is configure & attach the Physics component on an object and the object moves according to the laws of physics and computations done based on the configuration. The Engine takes care of creating a physics body that automatically performs updates, collisions etc on every frame. All the user has to do is attach the game object like pacman to it.
Our editor also comes with useful features to make game development easier. Some of these include :
Binary file
Use this link to get the executable files.
Trailer
Screenshots
Architecture
Post Mortem
- Editor
Currently, the preview window can be used to preview a game object when loaded with a custom sprite. But due to time constraint we could not implement relativ positioning of these objects that will be rendered in the game. We could add this functrionality of being able to drag and rop game objects and tiles in respective positions such that the same layout will be rendered in the game.
- Menu
Currently, our game engine doesn't support a menu component. So user needs to achieve it using existing components manually, which is a hard work. We could add a menu component to let user create menu easier.
- Game object AI
Our game engine doesn't support AI, so users need to create it by themselves. We can improved it by supporting some default behaviors of AI.
- Physics
Although we use Box2D to handle the collision and gravity, we can improve the behavior of physics by solving the problem where objects in the game might stick at somewhere. Also the physics properties of objects are limited due to Box2D. For example, an object can not pass through another object and raise contact callback without collision.
- Different Tile properties
For now, tiles have same properties. We could let user to add custom properties to the tile, for instance, different tiles have different friction, or some tiles could be destroyed by player.
Documentation
Use this link to go to the documentation page.
Instructions: using the Game Engine (Linux ONLY)
Instructions to run the game Engine:
Make sure that you have python3.8 installed in your linux machine.
cd into the project root folder.
Run the build files linuxpybindbuild.py and tileeditorbuild.py using the commands:
python3 linuxpybindbuild.py
python3 tileeditorbuild.py
Once the files are built, you can run the game engine using
python3 engineeditor.py
For detailed instructions on how to create Game objects and adding python scripts, please refer to the "Trailer" video above.
Instructions to run the tile editor:
The tile editor has two options PNG and BMP For PNG, the best results are achieved when the tiles are provided as individual png tiles and they are rendered at their original resoultion. The tile editor can scroll infinitely so this the dimensions are not an issue. In case of PNG, the names of the tiles should be numbers in increasing order like 0.png, 1.png, etc. You can see such a sample in Assets folder. To create a tile map, you simply need to enter these names seperated by a single whitespace. If the format is incorrect tiles will not be render. You can click the "Update Config" button to see if what you have entered is valid or not.

I am Mr:MOHAMED DADA HAFAR THE CHIEF AUDITOR INCHARGE OF FOREIGN REMITTANCE UNIT of our bank and i have had the intent or contact you over this financial transaction worth the sum of NINTEEN MILLION, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($19,300,000.00 ) for our success.This is an abandoned sum that belongs to one of our bank foreign customers who died along with his entire family through plane crash disaster since few years ago.
Meanwhile i was very fortune to came across the deceased file when i was arranging the old and abandoned customers files in other to sign and submit to the entire bank management for an official re-documentation and audit of the year against 2007.
Be informed clearly that it was stated in our banking rules and regulations which was signed lawfully that if such fund remains unclaimed till the period of 5 years started from the date when the beneficiary died, the money will be transferred into the treasury as an unclaimed fund.As an honour and advantage bestowed to our foreign customers based on the rules guildeing our bank, it was stated obviously that if you are not a Burkina Faso citizen, you have the absolute authority to claim the fund hence you are a foreigner despite your differences from the county of origin of the deceased.
So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account as the NEXT OF KIN OR EXTENDED RELATIVE to the deceased.On the transfer of this fund into your account, { 39% } being ( US$7,527,000.00) will be your share in respect of the account provision and your assistance rendered during the transfer of the fund into your bank account,{ 52% } being (US$10,036,000.00) will be my share being the codinator of the transaction while the rest { 9% } being (US$1,737,000.00) will be shared to the respectable Organisations Centers such as Charity Organisation, Motherless Babies homes, and helpless disabled people in the World.
If you are really sure of your trustworthy, accountability and confidentiality on histransaction,contact me and agree that you will not change your mind to cheat or disappoint me when the fund have getting into your account.Besides you should not entertain any fear because i am sure of the success as an insider in the bank ok.
Please reply with the assurance, include your private telephone and fax numbers necessary for facilitate an easy communication in this transaction.As soon as you reply,call me through my private telephone number on (00226 76420224)) so that i will let you know the next step to follow in order to finalize this transaction immediately.
I expect your urgent communication. Ysincerely, MR:MOHAMED DADA HAFAR utilisez Windows Live One Care, c'est gratuit !

THE CABLE GUY (1996) A film review by Chuck Dowling Copyright 1996 Chuck Dowling
The Cable Guy (1996) ****1/2 - C:Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, George Segal, Ben Stiller.
The Cable Guy is easily Jim Carrey's best movie ever and the reason is simple, it's because it's not a Jim Carrey movie. You see, if this had been an actual Jim Carrey movie, he'd be jumping all over the place with a weird haircut and would be talking with his butt cheeks.
Ok, so he's not exactly normal in The Cable Guy either. Actually, his character is quite dark and complex, not the fun-loving silly guy Jim Carrey fans are used to. This is certain to make his fans upset and rightfully so. All comedians get tired of doing the same thing over and over again and this film was just too good of a possibility for Carrey to pass up. I applaud what he's trying to do with his career with this film by trying to show people that he can ACTUALLY act. Carrey adds a great amount of depth to his character in the film, depth that someone like Adam Sandler or Chris Farley would not be able to do.
The Cable Guy is the newest entry in the "BLANK-from-hell" genre which includes other films such as Pacific Heights (the tenant from hell), The Temp (the secretary from hell), and The Crush (the Alicia Silverstone from hell). Carrey plays the title character, who doesn't use his real name so instead he uses names from old TV shows. Throughout most of the film he uses the name of Chip Douglas.
The cable guy comes to install cable for Steven (Broderick), who has just recently seperated from his girlfriend on a "trial" basis and has moved into his own place. Steven asks him about "illegal" cable and Carrey agrees to "juice him up". But, he expects something in return, Steven's friendship. And he'll do whatever he has to do to get it.
Broderick gets to do what he does best here, which is the normal guy caught in a strange situation. His character, at first, doesn't really want Chip to go away, he just wants him to stop acting so weird all the time.  Chip then proceeds to ruin Steven's life.
Carrey's performance has many levels to it. One minute you're laughing at him, the next you feel sorry for him, and then you're scared of him. Ben Stiller's direction is quite good and the film is very well made. Stiller should have exploited the film's final punchline/message a little more than he did, but the joke is still funny anyway. Eric Roberts has a very brief cameo as himself and it too is hilarious. In conclusion, The Cable Guy is the best thing Carrey could do with his talents at this point in his career and he should pursue more films like this one.

To create a queue by only using stacks, you will require two stack data strutures (Stack1 and Stack2 ).
Where enqueue and dequeue are defined as:
Enqueue(x) : Push x into stack1
Dequeue() : If stack2 is empty, then we pop the entire contents of stack1 and push it into stack2. Now
simply pop from stack2 and return the result.
If you are thinking Dequeue() function is costlier than normal queue's dequeue implementation, than you are wrong.
The time complexity of Dequeue() is not O(n). Amortized Complexity is still O(1) for Enqueue
as well as Dequeue. This implementation of queue is not inefficient compared to normal queue implementation.

Use
You would be thinking how is queue created using two stacks better than normal Implementation of queue, and you are right. In practical usage it is not efficient and approporiate to use queue implementation by two Stacks but it is very useful when you are implementing system in constrained enviroment that weren't designed for it. It is also a good brain exercise to come up with an alogrithm to create a queue using only stacks (Which is one of the reason beginners are given this problem) .

void __fpurge(FILE *stream);
The __fbufsize() function returns the size of the buffer currently used by the given stream.
The __fpending() function returns the number of bytes in the output buffer. For wide-oriented streams the unit is wide characters. This function is undefined on buffers in reading mode, or opened read-only.
The __flbf() function returns a nonzero value if the stream is line-buffered, and zero otherwise.
The __freadable() function returns a nonzero value if the stream allows reading, and zero otherwise.
The __fwritable() function returns a nonzero value if the stream allows writing, and zero otherwise.
The __freading() function returns a nonzero value if the stream is read-only, or if the last operation on the stream was a read operation, and zero otherwise.
The __fwriting() function returns a nonzero value if the stream is write-only (or append-only), or if the last operation on the stream was a write operation, and zero otherwise.
The __fsetlocking() function can be used to select the desired type of locking on the stream. It returns the current type. The type argument can take the following three values:
The _flushlbf() function flushes all line-buffered streams. (Presumably so that output to a terminal is forced out, say before reading keyboard input.)
The __fpurge() function discards the contents of the stream's buffer.
The __flbf(), __freadable(), __freading(), __fwritable(), __fwriting() and _flushlbf() functions are thread-safe.


Guidance
The information on this page has now forms part of the schools financial efficiency document collection.
Information for academy trusts about support available to improve efficiency, including a new financial benchmarking website for academies
Schools spend a lot of public money every year, and how they spend it has a profound impact on pupils’ achievement and future prospects. An efficient school or education system is central to the country’s future prosperity.
The importance of robust strategic planning and managing resources effectively is supported by EFA, which has recently introduced an online programme of efficiency tools for use by all types of schools – academy, free school or local authority maintained, primary, secondary or all-through.
An introduction to the efficiency toolkit
The efficiency toolkit looks at how schools use their resources and encourages a move away from an incremental approach to budgeting year on year.
It includes details and a demonstration of the new financial benchmarking site for academies , which complements the established schools financial benchmarking website for maintained schools.
These facilities enable schools to prepare charts that compare one school’s income and expenditure profile with that of similar schools, using a range of factors such as size, type, percentage with special needs, for example. The financial benchmarking site for academies contains information about academies that have been open for more than 12 months, provided through their accounts returns.
Another module in the online programme provides top tips for managing a budget with constrained resources. There is also a short filmed discussion between EFA and a school business manager about effective procurement. EFA will add further modules later in March.
This efficiency toolkit will add to the large range of support and helpful financial modelling tools that are available to schools, including those provided by representative bodies, who are happy to provide schools with help and support with their financial planning.
Schools are encouraged to make full use of the information and support available to support their financial modelling, review costs and ensure that they are in a solid position for the coming year.

The We Use Coins project is an educational project focused on making Bitcoin more understandable for beginners and primarily consists of a website and videos operated by a small team of volunteers from across the Bitcoin community.
Want to see change? Please contribute to our Github repository. We try to review businesses to make sure they are good actors. However, we do not endorse any particular listing. Our resources are limited, so we cannot make any guarantees about any sites listed.
We Use Coins started in 2010 with a small team from the Bitcoin community focused on making an animated short film explaining Bitcoin. Almost a hundred people provided their input in the form of feedback, recommendations and ideas. Bitcoin developers Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn reviewed the final script draft for technical accuracy. After the video was publish on March 22, 2011 with bitcoins trading around $0.75 there were 9,052 BTC paid out in the spirit of covering expenses associated with creating the video. Sadly, significant amounts of bitcoins were lost or more work could have been done.
The treasurer was very heavily protected against theft. The Bitcoin wallet was primarily hosted on a virtual machine with backup copies on a Truecrypt encrypted copy was stored on Dropbox and in an ultra-secure Ironkey. The complexity of that setup ended up working against us as none of the backups were actually accessible when we needed them. Unfortunately, the Armory Bitcoin wallet did not exist or that would have been used and the bitcoins would most likely still be safe.
The lost coins are still viewable in the block chain here (6,511.96 BTC or currently about $1,660,000)) and here (491.25 BTC or currently about $125,000).
Special Thanks.

Serverless Performance Tuning
Efficient configuration of AWS Lambda functions is highly critical when you’re expecting an optimal performance of your serverless applications. This blog discusses potential serverless performance bottlenecks and ways through which you can finetune AWS Lambda performance.
We’ve seen some remarkable and exponential client growth. Months over months, the number of projects that we are handling is growing at an exponential rate. And so is the expectation of exceptional service.
As we move into this article, you’ll discover that predicting the performance of Serverless systems is quite a difficult job, especially for lower-memory functions. And hence, in this blog, we’ll try to set some concrete benchmarks which you can use to configure the performance of your serverless system.
AWS Lambda Performance Benchmark 2019
- Optimal Memory Size
- Language Runtime
- Parallel Version Invocation
- Concurrency Issues
- Cold vs Hot Startups
- Code Optimization for Efficient Performance
Optimal memory size
Well, with some serverless vendors, you have the limit for choosing the memory from 128 MB to 1308 MB while some vendors select the memory automatically according to your function.
This leaves the question of how to choose the optimal memory size for your functions. What I have observed is that simply choosing the memory size that sufficiently runs your function isn’t going to work. In fact, that’s an anti-pattern. Here’s why!
Let’s take the example of AWS Lambda. Lambda provides you with a single dial to allocate the number of computing resources (RAM) to your function. This RAM allocation also impacts the amount of CPU time and network bandwidth received by your function.
Now, why is it an anti-pattern? Because Lambda billing is as accurate as 100-ms increments. Hence, opting for the smallest sufficient amount of RAM might add latency to your application. If the increase in latency outweighs the resource cost savings, it might come off as more expensive.
Well, the noteworthy point here is that you should test your lambda functions at all available resources level so as to determine the excellent level of price/performance for your application. You will observe that the performance level of your functions will increase logarithmically over time.
System Specification
The limits that you’ll set initially will be working as base limits. As you move on, you’ll come across a resource threshold where any additional RAM/CPU/Bandwidth available to your functions no longer provides any significant performance gain.
However, the prices of lambda functions increase linearly with the increase in computing resources. And that is why your test should be able to determine the logarithmic function bend to choose the excellent configuration of your function.
Performance Results
Here’s the experiment was done by AWS which clearly shows that ideal memory allocation can be cost-effective with lower latency as well. Moreover, the additional cost of computing per 100 ms for using 512 MB over the lower memory options is far better than the amount of latency reduced in the function by allocating more resources.
Conclusion
Though there is no significant performance gain after 512 MB for this particular logic and hence the additional cost per 100 ms now drives the total cost higher. This means, 512 MB is the optimal choice for minimising total cost.
Language runtime It could be definitely a concern of everybody, whether the chosen language will perform the performance of functions or not! But before moving on to that section, let us see which platforms support which languages.
Performance Result
This is what users from around the world have to say about language runtime performance!
#1. AWS Lambda:
As per the benchmark studies were done in 2017, compiled languages (Java & .NET) were significantly more consistent than dynamic languages (Python & Node.Js). However, one of the key advantages of writing code in Node.js and Python is that they produce much smaller size packages which result in lower cold start time.
However, according to the latest 2018 benchmark studies, there is no significant difference between newer compiled languages (.NET Core 2.0 & Go) and the original dynamic languages.
This is a remarkable achievement from AWS which gives a new level of assurance to its users. Thus, it is safer to assume that while new languages are being added to AWS Lambda, older languages are being improved at the same time.
#2. Microsoft Azure Functions:
You may come across a thin performance difference across C# and Node.js which obviously depends on each case.
At the present moment, slower startup time is observed with C# due to compilation requirements. C# does offer some deeper integration with the model exposed by the WebJobs SDK, allowing you to bind to any supported binding type, but in Node, Microsoft offers mechanisms to address most of the scenarios that would require specific binding types.
Pro tips:
Choosing a language for functions is totally dependent on your comfort and your resources.
But if the performance is the driving considerations, then you need to closely map out the performance characteristics of the languages you’re interested in and then choose the best one from them.
The compiled languages (Java and .NET) shows the best performance for subsequent invocations but for that, you’ll have to incur the largest initial startup cost for container’s first invocation. The initial invocation time of the interpreted languages (Node.js and Python) are very fast compared to compiled languages, but can’t reach the same level of maximum performance as the compiled languages do.
If your application may come across very spiky traffic or very infrequent use, we recommend one of the interpreted languages. If your application does not experience large peaks or valleys within its traffic patterns or does not have user experiences blocked on function response times, we recommend you choose the language you’re already most comfortable with.
Parallel version invocation
The deployment process in cloud functions is pretty straightforward and simple: Upload a new function code package → Publish a new version → Update your aliases. However, these steps are just the pieces of your deployment process with function.
Each deployment process would be application specific. But the cloud architects should understand the relationship between function and it’s event sources and dependencies.
Once such a concept in the deployment phase is parallel version invocation. When multiple triggering events occur faster than a single-threaded function runtime can process them, the runtime may invoke the function multiple times in parallel.
Here an existing function container containing the previous source code package will continue to invoke along with the new function version. This occurs asynchronously on the service side while updating an alias to point to a new version of the function.
The process of parallel function invocation though short-lived can affect the performance of the serverless architecture. It’s important that your application continues to operate as expected during this process. An artefact of this might be that any stack dependencies being decommissioned after a deployment (for example, database tables, a message queue, etc.) not be decommissioned until after you’ve observed all invocations targeting the new function version.
In Azure functions, if a function app is using the Consumption hosting plan, the function app could scale out automatically. Each instance of the function app, whether the app runs on the Consumption hosting plan or a regular App Service hosting plan, might process concurrent function invocations in parallel using multiple threads. The maximum number of concurrent function invocations in each function app instance varies based on the type of trigger being used as well as the resources used by other functions within the function app.

Concurrency issues
For any basic application, multiple functions are going to execute transactions at the same time. Each transaction will perform multiple functions and may separate only by microseconds. To the users, the operations appear concurrent.
However, concurrency is one of the most important performance issues which you need to closely monitor. Otherwise, your data is vulnerable possibly undesirable effects on reads and access to uncommitted data.
Let’s compare concurrency issues by taking the example of an experiment. This experiment will help you understand the comparison of execution performance (concurrency and hot/cold startup) between AWS Lambda, Apache OpenWhisk, Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions.
System specifications
The performance tool measures the latency and throughput of the Serverless Framework. This tool uses the Serverless Framework to deploy Node.js function to different services. It sends synchronous invocation calls by executing the function with HTTP events/triggers as per the requirements of the multiple platforms.
The memory size for all the platforms is 512 MB except Microsoft Azure, which has auto-discovering requirements of functions.
The test begins by maintaining the invocation calls to test the function by reissuing each request just after receiving the response from the preceding call. Along with this, at every 10 seconds, it adds an additional concurrent call but only up to 15 concurrent requests to the test function. Moreover, this test was repeated 10 times per platform.
Performance Results
The below figure shows the results of the execution performance which measures the ability of serverless platforms.
Conclusion
Here is what we can conclude from the above graph.
- AWS Lambda: It shows to scale linearly and exhibits the highest throughput of the commercial platform even at 15 concurrent requests.
- Google Cloud Functions: It shows a sublinear scaling and appears to taper off as the number of concurrent requests approaches to 15.
- Microsoft Azure Functions: Its performance is highly fluctuating, however, the throughput observed is quite high in places, outperforming the other platforms while the concurrency level is low.
- Apache OpenWhisk: Its performance depicts a low throughput and no scalability until 8 concurrent requests and then function scales sublinearly.
Cold vs Hot startups
As we’ve discussed this inherent drawback in my previous blog about Serverless Architecture, I’ll just brief you on it.
A cold startup occurs when you execute an inactive function for the first time. This occurs when your cloud service provider provisions the runtime container selected by your function and then runs it. This process is popularly referred to as a ‘cold start’ and is known for increasing your execution time
Whenever your function is running, it will stay hot, or in other sense, your container stays alive and waiting for you to command another execution. However, gradually and eventually, if there is no activity, your cloud provider will drop the container and hence, your function will become cold again.
Let’s compare concurrency issues by taking the example of an experiment. This experiment will help you understand the cold start times and expiration behaviours of function instances between AWS Lambda, Apache OpenWhisk, Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions.
System Specification
System specification is the same as the above experiment.
This test sends a single signal execution requests to the test function at increasing intervals in the range of 1-30 minutes. Moreover, the function containers expire after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Performance Results
The below figure depicts the performance results of various platforms.
Conclusion
Here’s what we can conclude from the above test:
- AWS Lambda: It shows no effect of function idling.
- Google Cloud Functions: It shows no effect of function idling.
- Microsoft Azure Functions: It appears that it expires after few minutes.
- Apache OpenWhisk: It appears that it deallocates the container within around 10 minutes.
The noteworthy performance of AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions can be credited to the extremely fast container start times or preallocation of containers even before its execution.
Pro Tip
- Minimize the deployment package size of your function.
- Make sure you use modularity of the AWS SDK for Java and .NET.
- Also, reduce the complexities of your dependencies.
- If this isn’t sufficient, leverage the container reuse by lazily loading variables so that your function stays warm for several minutes.
Code Optimisation for efficient performance
Performance of your serverless application is hugely dependent on the logic you need the cloud function to execute and what the dependencies are. The serverless developers should understand the granularity in a microservices architecture.
If there are many function invocations it would make the application complex to run and debug. While the scope of optimization is different for each application, there are some best practices to optimize your code for functions.
Following are some of the best practices-
#1. Container reuse: Any externalized configuration or dependencies that your code retrieves should be stored and referenced locally after initial execution. The cloud architect should limit the re-initialization of variables on every invocation and use static initialization, global/static variables and singletons instead. Also, keep alive and reuse connections (HTTP, database, etc.) that were established during a previous invocation.
#2. Optimize the coding practices for deployment: The cloud functions will support many language-specific SDKs. To enable the latest set of features and security updates, cloud provider (eg. AWS Lambda or Azure functions) will periodically update these libraries. These updates may introduce subtle changes to the behaviour of your function.
To have full control of the dependencies your function uses, it is recommended to package all your dependencies with your deployment code. It is also important to minimize the package size to its runtime necessities. This will reduce the amount of time that it takes for your deployment package to be downloaded and unpacked ahead of invocation.
For example- Google functions authored in Java or .NET Core, avoid uploading the entire GCP SDK library as part of your deployment package. Instead, selectively depend on the modules which pick up components of the SDK you need (e.g. Datastore, Google cloud storage SDK modules and Google function libraries). Prefer simpler frameworks that load quickly on container startups such as Dagger and Guice.
#3.Separate the point of entry for function and core logic: For example, keep the AWS Lambda handle separate from core logic. This makes unit-testing of the function easier.
#4. Avoid long-running functions: Functions can become large and long-running due to language and external dependencies. This can cause unexpected timeout issues. Refactor large functions into smaller function sets that work together and return faster responses.
For example, an HTTP trigger function might require an acknowledgement response within a certain time limit. The HTTP trigger payload is queued to be processed by a queue trigger function. This way you can defer the actual task and return an immediate response.
#5. Initializing database connections: After a function is executed, the serverless provider (AWS Lambda) maintains the runtime container for some time. This is done in anticipation of another function invocation. So for establishing database connection leveraging global scope is very important. Instead of re-establishing the connection, the original connection should be used in the subsequent invocations.
Declare database connections and other objects/variables outside the Lambda function handler code to provide additional optimization when the function is invoked again. You can add logic to your code to check if a connection already exists before creating one.
Take Away!
Armed with this knowledge, now you can take the better decision on how to configure your functions.
The other lesson, I’d like to impart you is that function benchmarks are supposed to be gathered over the course of time and not in hours and minutes. Hence, AWS Lambda performance monitoring is a continuous process.
We’ll be refurbishing this blog from time to time and try to be updated in our custom software development practices. So, keep in touch to stay updated about AWS Lambda performance.


Masked man carjacks teen at gunpoint outside NM home
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KOAT/CNN) - A New Mexico family of four no longer feels safe in their own home after a masked man carjacked a 17-year-old at gunpoint just before he headed to school.
Shawn Gazolas, 17, walked out to his car on what he thought was a typical Friday morning. His parents and 11-year-old sister Reina Gazolas were getting ready for work and school.
Suddenly, a masked man approached Shawn Gazolas. He had his gun drawn and his laser sight flashing across the teenager’s chest.
“I saw a dark figure and noticed he had a gun, so I put my hands up,” Shawn Gazolas said. “I just gave him the keys, and he jumped inside the car.”
The teenager then ran inside, yelling for his father, John Gazolas, who made it outside to see the man drive away in the 2007 Toyota Camry.
The suspect, described as a medium height Hispanic man with a stocky build, also took off with Shawn Gazolas’ backpack and canned goods he planned to bring to a food drive that day.
Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident.
"I just love him [Shawn] so much, but thank God, nothing really happened. Thank God, he did the right thing,” said Reina, through tears.
The family says they will be changing their locks and updating their alarms.
"We thought it would be a safe place to raise our kids,” mother Elizabeth Gazolas said. “It just hurts me to see stuff like this, just trying to hurt innocent people.”

Against most players I would hold the cube here. Only versus a confirmed rabbit would I redouble with confidence and hope to get a pass.

This sonnet seems to be of OneginStanza type:
this type refers to the verse form popularized
(or invented) by the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin through his novel
in verse Eugene Onegin. The work was mostly written in verses of
iambic tetrameter with the rhyme scheme aBaBccDDeFFeGG.

Usually, when we study probability, we talk about simple situations where it's easy to determine the probability. For example, if you roll a 6-sided die, the probability that you get a 6 is \(\frac{1}{6}\) because you're looking at 1 possibility out of 6 total.

IndexedTileMap consists of:
So, changes in palette node will result in changes in the tile map. You can make two or more palettes for a map and then switch them.
Download a project, unpack it and load itm.xml file as a scene. There are 4 tile sets: 'palDay1', 'palDay2', 'palNight1' and 'palNight2' (it was created simply by importing sprites and grouping them). We will use this nodes later, 'cos for now we need Cell object. Of course we could just use isometric cell for our this purpose, but to understand how the cells work we will use free form cell. Choose "Create -> Cell" command. Set it's name 'cell1'. Our first map will use isometric tile 32x16. So, expand cell1 node in the Outliner panel. It has three objects attached. The first one is a Polygon and others a Points. To change a shape of a Polygon expand it and select and move it's Points.
You can also select the points of Polygon and change it's coords in the Property Editor.
Choose "Create -> IndexedTileMap" and edit it's properties. Set rowCount and columnCount to 7. The cell property should be set to '|cell1'. Set palette to '|palDay1' and turn on showCells. Change it's name to 'isoMap1'.
As we can see the cells of this map are not layed out properly. So, let's correct it.
Expand a cell1 node and select it's first of two points. Move it to the top vertex of the and see how the map changed. Then move second point to the center vertex of the cell. Now the map cells should be layed correctly.
Now we can paint a map. Select 'palDay1' node and choose "Window -> Brushes" to display the palette children in a separate window. Then choose 'isoMap1' and turn on "Make Live" button on the toolbar (or choose "Edit -> Make Live"). Then click on the brushes and paint on the map.
This map is a single layered. If we need some objects to be painted over this map (for example trees or items) than we need create another map and put over this one. Create new map, change it's name to 'isoMap2', rowCount and columnCount to 7. Add 'isoMap1' to selection and choose "Edit -> Group". Set palette property of 'isoMap2' to 'palDay2'. Choose "Edit -> Make Live", select 'palette1' node and "Window -> Brushes". Then draw flowers and then try to put a post near them.
Position of the post seems to be incorrect. And if you paint a flowers over it you'll see that it displayed over a post ! But from the program point of view it seems to be ok because the order in which map tiles are displayed is the following:
And probably in your game the same algorytm is used.
To correct this we need to adjust the position of the post relative to a cell. Select the 'post' object in the 'palDay1' node and decrease it's y coord to move it up. (Yes, an Y axis is pointing down. The same rule is used in Mobile Dragon).
Adjusting position of the post relative to a cell. For the convinience all the objects were hidden except the cell and the post (shown in the Outliner).
Now it should be all right.
Let's try now to switch a palette nodes of this maps. Select 'isoMap1' and change it's palette property to '|palNight1' and set a 'isoMap2' palette property to '|palNight2'.
If you expand 'palDay1' and 'palDay2' you will see that tiles in this tile sets have the same order. Because of that when we changed palette of the IndexedTileMap it painted the tiles with the same indexes. Only palette have changed, not the data (or matrix) of the map.
In this tutorial we used two maps (or two layers of a single map). One for terrain and another for objects. But in your game you probably will need three or more layers. To work with them comfortably keep in mind that you can hide some them (by turning off visible property).
Also if you'll need a more complex cell you just adjust a location of the points of the cell and add
or remove Points to the Polygon object to change it's shape.
