Globalization/Localization and Timezone in Business Domain Analysis
In today's interconnected digital landscape, businesses are not confined to geographical boundaries. Understanding the nuances of Globalization/Localization (often abbreviated as G11n/L10n) and Timezone considerations is paramount
when analyzing business domains, ensuring systems resonate with a global audience while preserving local sensitivities.
Design Decisions
-
User Interface Adaptability:
-
The interface should cater to multiple languages, scripts, and cultural aesthetics. For L10n, the design might require elements that reflect local culture, symbols, or colors without compromising the core brand identity.
-
Content Layout and Directionality:
- Some languages read right-to-left (e.g., Arabic) or top-to-bottom (e.g., traditional Chinese). The design should accommodate such directional variances while maintaining functionality and aesthetics.
-
Date, Currency, and Number Formats:
- Locale-specific formats can influence display preferences and input requirements. A US-centric MM/DD/YYYY date format may confuse a European user accustomed to DD/MM/YYYY.
-
Timezone Awareness:
-
Ensure systems can adjust to the user's local time, especially important for scheduling, reminders, and real-time collaborative applications. Mismanaged time zones can lead to missed opportunities or miscommunications.
Datastore Considerations
-
Multilingual Support:
- Databases should be equipped to store, retrieve, and search text in multiple languages, considering character sets and collation sequences.
-
Timezone Storage:
- Store timestamps in a standardized format (e.g., UTC) while providing mechanisms to convert them according to user preferences or locale.
Other Considerations
-
Regulatory & Compliance:
- Different regions have varying digital and data regulations. Ensuring that localized versions of the application comply with local regulations is vital.
-
Cultural Sensitivity:
- An element deemed appropriate or neutral in one culture might be considered offensive or taboo in another. Cultural audits and sensitivity checks should be integral to the localization process.
-
Infrastructure Scalability:
- Serving global audiences might necessitate distributed infrastructure solutions, like Content Delivery Networks (CDN), to ensure optimal application performance across geographies.
-
Collaboration Across Timezones:
- For systems enabling collaborative activities, synchronization mechanisms ensuring coherency across different time zones are pivotal. Misalignment here can disrupt workflow and user experiences.
By holistically incorporating Globalization/Localization and Timezone considerations into Business Domain Analysis, businesses can effectively bridge global ambitions with local expectations.


astropy.wcs contains utilities for managing World Coordinate System (WCS) transformations in FITS files. These transformations map the pixel locations in an image to their real-world units, such as their position on the sky sphere.
It is at its base a wrapper around Mark Calabretta’s wcslib, but also adds support for the Simple Imaging Polynomial (SIP) convention and table lookup distortions as defined in WCS Paper IV. Each of these transformations can be used independently or together in a standard pipeline.
The basic workflow is as follows:
- from astropy import wcs
- Call the WCS constructor with an astropy.io.fits header and/or hdulist object.
- Optionally, if the FITS file uses any deprecated or non-standard features, you may need to call one of the fix methods on the object.
- Use one of the following transformation methods:
- all_pix2world: Perform all three transformations from pixel to world coordinates.
- wcs_pix2world: Perform just the core WCS transformation from pixel to world coordinates.
- all_world2pix: Perform all three transformations from world to pixel coordinates, using an iterative method if necessary.
- wcs_world2pix: Perform just the core WCS transformation from world to pixel coordinates.
- sip_pix2foc: Convert from pixel to focal plane coordinates using the SIP polynomial coefficients.
- sip_foc2pix: Convert from focal plane to pixel coordinates using the SIP polynomial coefficients.
- p4_pix2foc: Convert from pixel to focal plane coordinates using the table lookup distortion method described in Paper IV.
- det2im: Convert from detector coordinates to image coordinates. Commonly used for narrow column correction.
For example, to convert pixel coordinates to world coordinates:
>>> from astropy.wcs import WCS
>>> w = WCS('image.fits')
>>> lon, lat = w.all_pix2world(30, 40, 0)
>>> print(lon, lat)
This example loads a FITS file (supplied on the commandline) and uses the WCS cards in its primary header to transform.
# Load the WCS information from a fits header, and use it
# to convert pixel coordinates to world coordinates.
from __future__ import division, print_function
import numpy
from astropy import wcs
from astropy.io import fits
import sys
def load_wcs_from_file(filename):
# Load the FITS hdulist using astropy.io.fits
hdulist = fits.open(filename)
# Parse the WCS keywords in the primary HDU
w = wcs.WCS(hdulist[0].header)
# Print out the "name" of the WCS, as defined in the FITS header
print(w.wcs.name)
# Print out all of the settings that were parsed from the header
w.wcs.print_contents()
# Some pixel coordinates of interest.
pixcrd = numpy.array([[0, 0], [24, 38], [45, 98]], numpy.float_)
# Convert pixel coordinates to world coordinates
# The second argument is "origin" -- in this case we're declaring we
# have 1-based (Fortran-like) coordinates.
world = w.wcs_pix2world(pixcrd, 1)
print(world)
# Convert the same coordinates back to pixel coordinates.
pixcrd2 = w.wcs_world2pix(world, 1)
print(pixcrd2)
# These should be the same as the original pixel coordinates, modulo
# some floating-point error.
assert numpy.max(numpy.abs(pixcrd - pixcrd2)) < 1e-6
if __name__ == '__main__':
load_wcs_from_file(sys.argv[-1])
This example, rather than starting from a FITS header, sets WCS values programmatically, uses those settings to transform some points, and then saves those settings to a new FITS header.
# Set the WCS information manually by setting properties of the WCS
# object.
from __future__ import division, print_function
import numpy
from astropy import wcs
from astropy.io import fits
# Create a new WCS object. The number of axes must be set
# from the start
w = wcs.WCS(naxis=2)
# Set up an "Airy's zenithal" projection
# Vector properties may be set with Python lists, or Numpy arrays
w.wcs.crpix = [-234.75, 8.3393]
w.wcs.cdelt = numpy.array([-0.066667, 0.066667])
w.wcs.crval = [0, -90]
w.wcs.ctype = ["RA---AIR", "DEC--AIR"]
w.wcs.set_pv([(2, 1, 45.0)])
# Some pixel coordinates of interest.
pixcrd = numpy.array([[0, 0], [24, 38], [45, 98]], numpy.float_)
# Convert pixel coordinates to world coordinates
world = w.wcs_pix2world(pixcrd, 1)
print(world)
# Convert the same coordinates back to pixel coordinates.
pixcrd2 = w.wcs_world2pix(world, 1)
print(pixcrd2)
# These should be the same as the original pixel coordinates, modulo
# some floating-point error.
assert numpy.max(numpy.abs(pixcrd - pixcrd2)) < 1e-6
# Now, write out the WCS object as a FITS header
header = w.to_header()
# header is an astropy.io.fits.Header object. We can use it to create a new
# PrimaryHDU and write it to a file.
hdu = fits.PrimaryHDU(header=header)
# Save to FITS file
# hdu.writeto('test.fits')
Astropy includes a commandline tool, wcslint to check the WCS keywords in a FITS file:
> wcslint invalid.fits
HDU 1:
WCS key ' ':
- RADECSYS= 'ICRS ' / Astrometric system
RADECSYS is non-standard, use RADESYSa.
- The WCS transformation has more axes (2) than the image it is
associated with (0)
- 'celfix' made the change 'PV1_5 : Unrecognized coordinate
transformation parameter'.
HDU 2:
WCS key ' ':
- The WCS transformation has more axes (3) than the image it is
associated with (0)
- 'celfix' made the change 'In CUNIT2 : Mismatched units type
'length': have 'Hz', want 'm''.
- 'unitfix' made the change 'Changed units: 'HZ ' -> 'Hz''.
Bounds checking is enabled by default, and any computed world coordinates outside of [-180°, 180°] for longitude and [-90°, 90°] in latitude are marked as invalid. To disable this behavior, use astropy.wcs.Wcsprm.bounds_check.
As astropy.wcs is based on wcslib, it supports the standard projections defined in the WCS papers. These projection codes are specified in the second part of the CUNITn keywords (accessible through Wcsprm.cunit), for example, RA-TAN-SIP. The supported projection codes are:
WCS objects can be broken apart into their constituent axes using the sub function. There is also a celestial convenience function that will return a WCS object with only the celestial axes included.
The pixel scales of a celestial image or the pixel dimensions of a non-celestial image can be extracted with the utility functions proj_plane_pixel_scales and non_celestial_pixel_scales. Likewise, celestial pixel area can be extracted with the utility function proj_plane_pixel_area.
The WCSAxes affiliated package adds the ability to use the WCS to define projections in Matplotlib. More information on installing and using WCSAxes can be found here.

Previous: Client connections, Up: Client connections [Contents][Index]
By making it possible to have Polipo listen on a non-routable address
(for example the loopback address ‘<IP_ADDRESS>’), the variable
proxyAddress
provides a very crude form of access
control: the ability to decide which hosts are allowed to connect.
A finer form of access control can be implemented by specifying
explicitly a number of client addresses or ranges of addresses
(networks) that a client is allowed to connect from. This is done
by setting the variable allowedClients
.
Every entry in allowedClients
can be an IP address, for example
‘<IP_ADDRESS>’ or ‘::1’. It can also be a network
address, i.e. an IP address and the number of bits in the network
prefix, for example ‘<IP_ADDRESS>/24’ or
‘2001:660:116::/48’. Typical uses of ‘allowedClients’
variable include
allowedClients = <IP_ADDRESS>, ::1, <IP_ADDRESS>/24, 2001:660:116::/48
or, for an IPv4-only version of Polipo,
allowedClients = <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>/24
A different form of access control can be implemented by requiring
each client to authenticate, i.e. to prove its identity before
connecting. Polipo currently only implements the most insecure form
of authentication, HTTP basic authentication, which sends
usernames and passwords in clear over the network. HTTP basic
authentication is required when the variable authCredentials
is
not null; its value should be of the form ‘username:password’.
Note that both IP-based authentication and HTTP basic authentication are insecure: the former is vulnerable to IP address spoofing, the latter to replay attacks. If you need to access Polipo over the public Internet, the only secure option is to have it listen over the loopback interface only and use an ssh tunnel (see Parent proxies)4.
It is not quite clear to me whether HTTP digest authentication is worth implementing. On the one hand, if implemented correctly, it appears to provide secure authentication; on the other hand, and unlike ssh or SSL, it doesn’t make any attempt at ensuring privacy, and its optional integrity guarantees are impossible to implement without significantly impairing latency.

My name is Carson Huber, and I'm an aspiring web designer.
While fairly new to this field of programming, I've been eager to learn more in the world of programmers
and aspire to become a successful programmer through game designing, web designing, and programming.
Currently a student in Codestack Academy, I've gone through the rigorous training to learn C#,
JavaScript,
Angular, and, on my own time, C++.
The programs I have developed and built during my time in Codestack Academy are reminders to me as to
how
far I've come from being a beginner in this new and awe-inspiring field, to how I view myself as an
a growing and ecstatic student trying to grow and learn more programming skills.
I'm hoping to get into the game-designing world, I am always eager and willing to work for a company
who's
eager to have me. I am open to the idea of being a free-lancer and will always expect to meet the goals
of my customers and partners.
My most recent and current design that I'm working on is my WebStore that focuses mainly on cosplay.
While a challenge, I am still learning how to grow and use my store effectively and, overtime, create
it to be satisfactory for myself and for anyone who looks at it.
If I seem like a person that you seem interested in bringing into your team, please feel free to contact

Microsoft Windows Continues To Dominate Developer Usage
Windows continues to be the main platform for software development in many industries and for many languages.
In order to get a better idea of what platforms developers were using to create great software, I looked at different sources of data.
My first source was the Net Market Share desktop OS market share data from November, 2013.
This data indicates that Windows accounts for 90.73% of users. Mac OS X accounts for 4.27% of users. The Linux data is available on the Net Market Share site. Linux accounts for 1.56% of users.
To get a better idea of developers, I looked at the Eclipse Community Survey Report from June 2013.
This indicates that Windows is used by 55% of software developers as their primary platform for software development. Linux is a strong second with 35%. Mac OS X trails significantly behind with 8.7% of developers in the 2013 survey. Note that in the most recent survey, Linux gained at the expense of Mac OS X.
The reasons for the lack of popularity of Mac OS X for software developers using Eclipse became apparent when I looked at the target platform for deployment.

The reasons for the lack of popularity of Mac OS X for software developers using Eclipse became apparent when I looked at the target platform for deployment.
Windows is still used as the primary operating system
for deployment.
The software developers were primarily developing
software and hardware high-tech products.
The results are more skewed toward Java developers.
Of the respondents, 67% were developing on Java and 11% were developing on C/C++.
The TIOBE Programming
Community Index for December 2013 shows that C is used by 17.9% of developers and Java is used by 17.3%. Adding
up the developers of C, Objective-C, and C++, the total "C family" developers is over 37%.
The Eclipse Foundation report doesn't give a full view
of all developers. It focuses primarily on professional Java developers building products for software and
hardware vendors.
To get another view of Python programmers, I looked at
the traffic to my blog on teaching Python programming. The blog is focused heavily on basic coding techniques.
The top traffic referral is Stackoverflow.
Among people learning or teaching Python programming,
59% use Windows. Although the blog doesn't cover Java development, the results are skewed toward people with
Android phones since many of the lessons cover using Python with Pygame, and Pygame Subset for Android to get Python
applications running on Android.
I have been trying to grab OS usage from either GitHub
or StackOverflow directly. If anyone knows how to do this, please leave a comment on this blog.
Other sources of data.
- Steam Platform Survey. This is obviously skewed heavily toward Windows since almost all games run on Windows and only a small percentage run on Linux and Mac OS X. Even with this limitation, the Steam survey is useful in showing that if a person is trying to reach a desktop computer games developer, you need to target Windows developers. If you're developing for Microsoft XBox, you're probably using Microsoft Windows.
- Android versus iOS market share. The iPhone has a huge impact on developer platforms. Although Android is the dominant mobile platform, iOS has more gamers using it. If you're developing a game for the iPhone, the developer is probably using Mac OS X.


14 jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree that might not be around in 10 years
by Andy Kiersz, Business Insider US- Getting a college degree is an important step in many careers, but not every occupation that requires a college degree is set to grow.
- Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we found 14 jobs that typically require at least a bachelor’s degree that are likely to shrink between 2018 and 2028.
- Reporters topped the list.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Getting a college degree is an important first step in many careers.
However, not every occupation that requires a college degree is set to expand in the next several years.
Every two years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases employment projections for the United States. These estimate how many people are likely to be employed in various jobs over the next decade.
The most recently released projections cover how employment is expected to change between 2018 and 2028. The projections also include typical educational requirements for each job. Using those projections, we found the 14 jobs that require a bachelor’s degree or higher that the BLS projects will have a decline in employment over the decade.
Here are the jobs, along with their median annual salaries as of May 2018, the most recently available data:

echo Form::open(array('action' => 'Controller@method'))
You may pass in route parameters as well:
echo Form::open(array('route' => array('route.name', $user->id)))
echo Form::open(array('action' => array('Controller@method', $user->id)))
If your form is going to accept file uploads, add a files
option to your array:
echo Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar', 'files' => true))

Laravel provides an easy method of protecting your application from cross-site request forgeries. First, a random token is placed in your user's session. Don't sweat it, this is done automatically. The CSRF token will be added to your forms as a hidden field automatically. However, if you wish to generate the HTML for the hidden field, you may use the token
method:
echo Form::token();
Route::post('profile', array('before' => 'csrf', function()
{
//
}));

Often, you will want to populate a form based on the contents of a model. To do so, use the Form::model
method:
echo Form::model($user, array('route' => array('user.update', $user->id)))
Now, when you generate a form element, like a text input, the model's value matching the field's name will automatically be set as the field value. So, for example, for a text input named email
, the user model's email
attribute would be set as the value. However, there's more! If there is an item in the Session flash data matching the input name, that will take precedence over the model's value. So, the priority looks like this:
This allows you to quickly build forms that not only bind to model values, but easily re-populate if there is a validation error on the server!
Note: When using
Form::model
, be sure to close your form withForm::close
!

echo Form::label('email', 'E-Mail Address');
echo Form::label('email', 'E-Mail Address', array('class' => 'awesome'));
Note: After creating a label, any form element you create with a name matching the label name will automatically receive an ID matching the label name as well.

echo Form::text('username');
echo Form::text('email', 'example@gmail.com');
Note: The hidden and textarea methods have the same signature as the text method.
echo Form::password('password');
echo Form::email($name, $value = null, $attributes = array());
echo Form::file($name, $attributes = array());

echo Form::checkbox('name', 'value');
echo Form::radio('name', 'value');
echo Form::checkbox('name', 'value', true);
echo Form::radio('name', 'value', true);

echo Form::file('image');
Note: The form must have been opened with the
files
option set totrue
.

echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'S' => 'Small'));
echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'S' => 'Small'), 'S');
echo Form::select('animal', array(
'Cats' => array('leopard' => 'Leopard'),
'Dogs' => array('spaniel' => 'Spaniel'),
));
echo Form::selectRange('number', 10, 20);
echo Form::selectMonth('month');

echo Form::submit('Click Me!');
Note: Need to create a button element? Try the button method. It has the same signature as submit.

It's easy to define your own custom Form class helpers called "macros". Here's how it works. First, simply register the macro with a given name and a Closure:
Form::macro('myField', function()
{
return '<input type="awesome">';
});
Now you can call your macro using its name:
echo Form::myField();

The discussion to this point has been about the serial collector. The Java HotSpot VM includes three different types of collectors, each with different performance characteristics.
The serial collector uses a single thread to perform all garbage collection work, which makes it relatively efficient because there is no communication overhead between threads. It is best-suited to single processor machines, because it cannot take advantage of multiprocessor hardware, although it can be useful on multiprocessors for applications with small data sets (up to approximately 100 MB). The serial collector is selected by default on certain hardware and operating system configurations, or can be explicitly enabled with the option -XX:+UseSerialGC
.
The parallel collector (also known as the throughput collector) performs minor collections in parallel, which can significantly reduce garbage collection overhead. It is intended for applications with medium-sized to large-sized data sets that are run on multiprocessor or multithreaded hardware. The parallel collector is selected by default on certain hardware and operating system configurations, or can be explicitly enabled with the option -XX:+UseParallelGC
.
Parallel compaction is a feature that enables the parallel collector to perform major collections in parallel. Without parallel compaction, major collections are performed using a single thread, which can significantly limit scalability. Parallel compaction is enabled by default if the option -XX:+UseParallelGC
has been specified. The option to turn it off is -XX:-UseParallelOldGC
.
The mostly concurrent collector performs most of its work concurrently (for example, while the application is still running) to keep garbage collection pauses short. It is designed for applications with medium-sized to large-sized data sets in which response time is more important than overall throughput because the techniques used to minimize pauses can reduce application performance. The Java HotSpot VM offers a choice between two mostly concurrent collectors; see The Mostly Concurrent Collectors. Use the option -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
to enable the CMS collector or -XX:+UseG1GC
to enable the G1 collector.
Unless your application has rather strict pause time requirements, first run your application and allow the VM to select a collector. If necessary, adjust the heap size to improve performance. If the performance still does not meet your goals, then use the following guidelines as a starting point for selecting a collector.
If the application has a small data set (up to approximately 100 MB), then
select the serial collector with the option -XX:+UseSerialGC
.
If the application will be run on a single processor and there are no pause time requirements, then let the VM select the collector, or select the serial collector with the option -XX:+UseSerialGC
.
If (a) peak application performance is the first priority and (b) there are no pause time requirements or pauses of 1 second or longer are acceptable, then let the VM select the collector, or select the parallel collector with -XX:+UseParallelGC
.
If response time is more important than overall throughput and garbage collection pauses must be kept shorter than approximately 1 second, then select the concurrent collector with -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
or -XX:+UseG1GC
.
These guidelines provide only a starting point for selecting a collector because performance is dependent on the size of the heap, the amount of live data maintained by the application, and the number and speed of available processors. Pause times are particularly sensitive to these factors, so the threshold of 1 second mentioned previously is only approximate: the parallel collector will experience pause times longer than 1 second on many data size and hardware combinations; conversely, the concurrent collector may not be able to keep pauses shorter than 1 second on some combinations.
If the recommended collector does not achieve the desired performance, first attempt to adjust the heap and generation sizes to meet the desired goals. If performance is still inadequate, then try a different collector: use the concurrent collector to reduce pause times and use the parallel collector to increase overall throughput on multiprocessor hardware.

| getSymbols.yahooj {quantmod} | R Documentation |
Downloads Symbols
to specified env
from ‘finance.yahoo.co.jp’. This method is
not to be called directly, instead a call to
getSymbols(Symbols,src='yahooj')
will in
turn call this method. It is documented for the
sole purpose of highlighting the arguments
accepted, and to serve as a guide to creating
additional getSymbols ‘methods’.
getSymbols.yahooj(Symbols, env, return.class = 'xts', index.class = 'Date', from = "2007-01-01", to = Sys.Date(), ...)

Meant to be called internally by getSymbols
(see also).
One of the few currently defined methods for loading data for use with quantmod. Essentially a simple wrapper to the underlying Yahoo! Japan finance site's historical data download.
The string ‘YJ’ will be prepended to the Symbols
because
Japanese ticker symbols usually start with a number and it is cumbersome
to use variable names that start with a number in the R environment.
It is recommended to prepend the ticker symbols with ‘YJ’ yourself
if you use setSymbolLookup
. That will make it possible for the main
getSymbols
function to find the symbols in the lookup table.
A call to getSymbols.yahooj will load into the specified
environment one object for each
Symbol
specified, with class defined
by return.class
. Presently this may be ts
,
zoo
, xts
, or timeSeries
.
In the case of xts objects, the indexing will be by Date. This
can be altered with the index.class
argument. See
indexClass
for more information on changing index classes.

A tun interface is created on each beendu node.
The interface is assigned a IPv6 address based on
the full beendu address of the node. The beendu address is
the public key part of the node. We calculate sha1 hash and
take least significant 112 bits and add fd00 to form the ipv6
address of the node.
ipv6_addr = "fd00"+ lsb(sha1(public_key), 112)
The packet router is a usermode service that is attached to the tun interface. When a packet is arrived to the service it looks at the ipv6 packet header gets the destination address and route the packet to appropriate node.
The dns servers calculate the ipv6 address from the beendu address and return the dns response for any request.

(Adapted from Introduction to Programming with Java: A Problem-Solving Approach, Dean and Dean, McGraw-Hill.)
If you follow too close behind another car and that other car stops suddenly, you will not be able to stop in time, and you will crash into the rear of that other car. The following formula gives the distance between you and the car in front which allows you to stop safely:
stoppingDistance = speed * (2.25 + speed / 21)
a) Write a program which determines whether a vehicle’s tailgating distance is safe. The program should read in the speed of the vehicle and the vehicle’s tailgating distance. The program should then calculate the distance that would be required to stop the vehicle.
If the stopping distance is less than the tailgating distance, your program should print “No problem.” If the stopping distance equals the tailgating distance, your program should print “Minor wreck.” If the stopping distance is greater than the tailgating distance, your program should print “Major wreck!”
Be sure that your program handles calculations involving real numbers correctly.
Write your program so that it is able to produce the following screen display:
Sample session:
Enter your speed (in mph): 60.0
Enter your tailgate distance (in feet): 240.0
Major wreck!
b) Notice that one of the tests is a comparison for equality. Since the probability of two real numbers being exactly equal is zero, if you use floating point numbers there will never be an input that produces a minor wreck. Modify the program so that it allows a range of uncertainty of plus or minus 20 feet, within which the result will be a minor wreck. To facilitate adjustment of this range of uncertainty, use a constant, that is:
RANGE = 40.0


Yesterday I decided to take 3 hits of acid with a wonderful girl that I had met at college. She is of a 'free spirited' nature and is very much into sex and drugs and is very open about it, which I admire. This is the type of person I have always wanted to be, but I always end up being uptight about a lot of things.
I decided that taking acid with her would change me for the better: I took it with this girl I had been hooking up with....and we were admiring the colors rising up from the ground, and the day seemed so warm, and we lost track of time and sat in the middle of the campus and played in the dirt and talked about crazy philosophies and decided that nature was more beautiful than anything else and we were there for like 4 hours getting as dirty as we could. We had a stick in our hands that we were using to represent so many things, we felt the stick's colors and life and discussed why a stick had to be known as a stick and not just what it is, a ________. Why did there have to be a word for it?
Time became an enemy to us and we found that when we walked to the gas station to get cigarettes, we found no problem in stopping in the middle of our walk, sitting down on the sidewalk and discussing life. Why did we always feel like we had to be somewhere when we didn't. We decided this was something we needed to permanantly change about ourselves. We got back to the campus and lyed in the grass again and it started to get dark and cold, but that was OK.
Then this hippie dude came up to us and he seemed so warm and hairy, we felt connected to his colorful shirt. That, and his hair and his warm smile made us feel so good, and we dubbed him our mascot.....the purple man. So we went back to his dorm and me and Megan felt so connected because we had stared into each other's eyes and watched all the colors pour out of them and we knew what each other were thinking without saying it because we would say YEA at the same time to confirm the conversation we were having with our eyes.
But then we both started to feel very sensual, being in a warmer environment with a bed and warm colors, but she was so drawn to this dude's hair and sense of warmth he was portraying.  The dude didn't talk much and would simply give a hearty chuckle and assure us that we were good people. I loved this dude, and I loved Megan even more. The feeling of sensuality we were having.....but then she started to only want to have anything to do with this hippie because he had such warm colors and hair, and I was dressed sort of like a greaser at the time and she thought my short spikey hair, black pants and white T-shirt was abrasive and giving off a cold image.
All the sensuality we had created was being released on this dude and she started licking his face, rubbing his legs, and doing some of the most sensual things I had ever seen anyone do. But there was nothing I could do but watch. I could only hope she would eventually come back to me, but this went on for an hour and at the end of the hour my strong sensuality and emotions for her were so strong, I couldn't stand that I couldn't have her at that time, so I left....which she took as being 'cold.'
I got back to my dorm at 4:30a.m. and had so many horrible emotions now flowing through me, but everyone was asleep and there was nobody to talk to. The acid made it impossible to sleep, and no matter what I did, the emotions only got stronger. I tried not to think about it, but that only made it worse, so did cigarettes. I felt trapped. I couldn't sleep, there was nobody around, who knew how many wonderful sensual things Megan was now experiencing without me. There was nothing I could do. I stayed up until 11:00a.m when I had class, because I was unable to sleep.

We are a global, independent group of open source developers, designers and translators formed to support the NEO core and ecosystem.
There will be a council always composed of 9 members. They are the Council team in our organization.
There will be a high council composed of 4 members of the council. They are the Maintainers of the Council team.
Any member of CoZ can create and collaborate on projects.
There will be a weekly report delivered to NEO by the high council via a PGP signed email and correspondent pull request on GitHub.
In case of any support from NEO as reward or bounty, the funds will initially be held by a trusted third party in a wallet for distribution.
After 1 September 2017, all CoZ funds will be held in a multi-sig wallet requiring a majority of the high council to unlock funding.
Rewards distribution will be voted on by project before being sent. There must be a majority agreement of all 9 council members.
All decisions not explicitly differentiated in this list will be voted upon as in item 7.
Item 7 voting polls of the council will run for 1 week on the #council Discord channel and after closing will be published in the #develop channel.
The high council will be voted upon each quarter, synchronizing with the quarters of the year. The first election will be on 1 October 2017. The newly elected high council can propose changes to these rules during the first week after the election. Changes will be voted upon as in item 7.
Any member of the council or high council is free to forfeit their position at any time. When this happens, an election will take place and a majority of council members must decide upon a replacement.
Any member of the council that does not vote on polls for more than 2 months will automatically forfeit their position.

Phantom Types are simply Scala types which have no direct instances created of them during run time. They can be thought of as "type decorators" in that they provide extra information about the type to the compiler, and this extra detail can be used to move failures that might have occurred at runtime into the compile time space, providing extra safety, quicker feedback about mistakes, and even sometimes provide better performance during execution (since you can often remove conditional code that would have needed to execute otherwise).
There are different ways to use Phantom Types in Scala. In addition to the simple empty-traits approach outlined in this example, you can also use them in a type-parameter capacity and you can get much more sophisticated with their usage, even enforcing rules and transitions for types in the compiler rather than at runtime. (If this last example looks confusing, you might want to take a look at the type-classes activator template in addition to this one to see how these two concepts complement each other).
This tutorial follows the idea that certain aspects of the state of saved/not-saved objects in a database might be tracked by the compiler rather than relying solely on runtime errors to enforce the rules.
Providing the example behavior we need from a simple database, FakeDb is a simple faked out database-like thing that at the core of it uses a mutable-map. There are much better and safer implementations, but those are not the point of this tutorial and hence left as an exercise for the reader, just don't expect this kind of fake to work well in a parallel testing environment.
The simple rules of our fake database are that:
Let's take a look at how we have encoded these rules both at runtime, and using phantom types within the three methods in the FakeDb object.
The save() method in FakeDb has rules to prevent accidentally saving an already saved item at both run-time and at compile time. Let's look at the body of the method to see the run-time version first.
The first line: require(!objects.contains(p.id), "That ID is already in use")
ensures that an object with a matching primary key id has not already been saved to the database.
If it has, this operation should be an update, not a save, so we use require to throw an exception
(a failed precondition) and prevent one item being accidentally overwritten by another new one
being saved.
At present, this runtime test is still required for correctness in our example, because the ID is provided by someone creating a new Persistable object, and could be a duplicate of one already in the database. This could be eliminated by making the new Persistent item creation assign a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) when a new instance is requested, taking the responsibility away from the object creator and ensuring that any new instance will not conflict with other instances.
The more interesting part is what we have done with the method type signature however. The definition:
def save[P <: Persistable](p: P with NotYetPersisted): P with Persisted
means that this method takes any subtype of Persistable with NotYetPersisted and gives back
that same type P but with Persisted this time. In other words, assuming the method succeeds,
it gives back a Persisted type. At the end of the method, we do a simple cast of the value being returned
to the Persisted type with .asInstanceOf[P with Persisted]
.
Likewise, the update() method uses phantom types to improve the correctness at compile-time. In this case,
def update[P <: Persistable with Persisted](p: P): P
ensures that only
an instance of Persistable with Persisted already associated with it is acceptable
as a parameter to the update method. Simply passing in a Persistable on its own, or
a Persistable with NotYetPersisted, will result in a compile error. Since the updated
object will also be Persisted, there is no need to cast the return argument in this case, it
is the same type as the method parameter.
The find() method looks up an item using its ID, and if it finds it, it returns it. Since it has found it in the database, we know that it must already be Persisted, so we can decorate it with that type when we return it. This is once again achieved with a cast at the end of the method.
Now let's look at the actual phantom-types and the Persistable type. These will probably seem underwhelming, which they should be. Typically your phantom types will not have any behavior of their own, since they are there to enforce compile-time type checking only, and will fail if you try and cast to them and then call methods on the phantom types, so keep them simple.
Persistable is a regular trait and as such defines some behavior of its own, in this case an id field which will ensure that we at least know that a Persistable item has an id of type String.
The phantom types NotYetPersisted and Persisted are simple, empty traits, but different types nonetheless. The rules of Scala are such that you can cast types to these and the compiler will believe you, and since they have no new methods or state of their own you cannot accidentally get into trouble by calling those methods and getting a class cast exception.
Finally, at the bottom of the source file are the definitions of the Person case class and companion object. The companion object has a couple of useful methods on them - create is a factory method for creating a new Person with the NotYetPersisted type decorator on it, and updated provides a similar mechanism to the copy() method on case classes, but only works on Persisted instances and also produces a Persisted item on the output. These keep the type system consistent as you create and change the items that are to be saved or updated in the database.
Now take a look at the DBPersonSpec test class. This is just a playground for you to mess with and get a feel for what can be caught at run-time versus compile-time now. Follow the comments in the code and uncomment things or try adding statements that you think should cause errors. Note which ones now cause test failures (run-time errors) and which ones will not compile at all (compile-time enforcement). Here are a couple of suggestions to try at the minimum:
FakeDb.update(p1)
line and save. You should see a red
error show up on the line after a few seconds. Hover over the red icon to see what the error is.
This will not compile because we are trying to update a Person that has not been saved yet.
Feel free to try out other things, and also to see if you can encode more of the state surrounding the storage of items in the database using phantom types and other tools that the compiler provides you with. This is a tiny little example and not very profound in itself, but these same techniques are used on large enterprise systems to help developers stay on top of the many rules more easily, and have caught many errors much earlier than they might have otherwise been caught (either during testing or, worse, in deployed systems). Phantom types make more and more sense the larger your system gets.


The concept of code club came from a conversation with me and developers on my project. They were commenting on how they liked it when I put code snippets in my QA tickets. During Design Acceptance Testing (DAT), I would go into the inspector, make adjustments to an element (maybe spacing, sizing, color, etc) until I got it to where I wanted it. I would copy my “fix” and suggest it in the ticket. The devs said it removed a lot of the back-and-forth/guess-and-checking that DAT can sometimes have with us perfectionist designers. Ultimately, it created better communication between design and development.
We wondered how could we improve VSA with this method.
Initially, we thought that maybe I could teach it in a Lunch and Learn. Unfortunately, that really would have required me to teach the basics of HTML and CSS over a lunch… sadly, I am not a wizard. We had to keep thinking.
How do we teach the base knowledge of HTML/CSS to more designers at VSA so that they could speak the development language while troubleshooting QA together?
I thought about my college experience learning front-end code:
- We had professors to teach us the high level concepts through a syllabus.
- They would help us fix and understand our mistakes by pointing them out in the code-editor, in person.
- We also had classmates at our same level that we could turn to.
Outside of school, how do you recreate that successful learning experience?
- Online tools like Lynda or Codecademy were essentially virtual professors and vetted syllabii
- Our VSA developers were our in-person experts who could help us fix/understand our mistakes side-by-side.
- A “club” would create that community of people to learn (and struggle) together.
CodeClub was born.
I set it up like a book club: Each week the group would individually watch one hour of their online tutorial on their own time. Then, during our CodeClub times (every other week), we would all get back together to discuss and review what the tutorial taught us. This time was used to ask the developers our issues and learn by problem solving together. Sometimes we would answer and talk through the quiz questions that Codecademy offered after each section.
By the end of each CodeClub, those of us who made it to the end, were able to say that we had learned a new technical concept that could apply to our work, our side projects, or pursuit of new knowledge!
We’ve run 3 CodeClub sessions at VSA. Some things I’ve learned:
- It’s best if everyone in the club is learning the same thing. At first, we tried allowing everyone to do a different tutorial depending on their interests. Unfortunately, we found that this muddled the quality of our in-person CodeClub meetings.
- Everyone is interested in learning code! I sent this invite to everyone in the company, and the interest spanned all disciplines and practices.
- We liked using Codecademy over Lynda. Codecademy provided an all-in-one coding and learning portal that streamlined the learning experience and reduced the barrier to entry.
- Every-other-week is probably too long to wait between meetings. It’s better to meet every week to keep the things you learned previously fresh in your mind.
- We wanted to include the New York office in CodeClub. We found that the best way to do this is to have a CodeClub head in each office to lead the meetings rather than try video chatting together. It was just too difficult to foster good conversation and problem solving over the phone.
-
This format benefits from the “protégé effect” where teaching someone else is the best way to learn.
- People are busy. And have best intentions. By the end of a CodeClub session participation definitely decreased from the initial interest meeting. But that really didn’t bother me. It’s not about quantity. Having fewer people in the meetings allowed the developers to really focus on individuals’ learning. If only a few people make it to the end and learn something new, that’s a few more people who might not have learned it on their own.
Learning code or a new skill is hard. Learning it on your own is even harder. Starting CodeClub can help push yourself and others to commit to learn those things you keep putting off. I have really enjoyed tinkering with this concept to help VSAers. Maybe others can build their own CodeClub to help their organization

More chaos looms in Hong Kong amid relentless city-wide protests
Protesters block roads, stop trains and buses as campaign designed to paralyse city enters fourth day.
Anti-government protesters paralysed parts of Hong Kong for a fourth day on Thursday, blocking highways and other transport links to disrupt the city and prompting schools to close amid a marked escalation of violence.
Protesters have torched vehicles and buildings, hurled petrol bombs at police stations and trains and vandalised prime shopping malls over the past week in some of the worst violence seen in more than five months of unrest.

Hong Kong charges pro-democracy legislators
Black-clad protesters and university students maintained their blockades of important roads, including the entrance to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel that links Hong Kong island to the Kowloon area and a large highway between Kowloon and the rural New Territories.
Police fired tear gas near the tunnel early on Thursday to try and clear the protesters.
Al Jazeera's Sarah Clarke, reporting from the site of the tunnel, which was closed, said the disruption was taking its toll.
"It's having a huge impact not just on university students, protesters and police but also on general public," she said.
"That's simply because they are scattering these flash mobs, protests and strikes across the city."
Thousands of students barricaded themselves inside campuses with makeshift fortifications at several universities, blocking entrances and occupying nearby roads, preparing stockpiles of food, bricks, petrol bombs and other makeshift weapons as they hunkered down for possible clashes with police.
Anger on streets
Commuters queued at metro stations after some rail services were suspended and 15 stations closed.
Some citizens, dressed in office wear, shouted at riot police who were deployed on station platforms.
Demonstrators are angry about what they see as police brutality and meddling by Beijing in the freedoms guaranteed under the "one country, two systems" formula put in place when the territory returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

China denies interfering and has blamed Western countries, including Britain and the United States, for stirring up trouble.
Police said on Wednesday violence in the Chinese self-governing territory had reached a "very dangerous and even deadly level".
Authorities said on Thursday 64 people were injured during Wednesday's clashes, which left two men in a critical condition. There were no further details about the injuries they sustained.
Police said in a statement a man had died after falling from an unspecified height on Wednesday but gave no further details. It was not clear whether his death was related to the continuing unrest.
One woman, a 24-year-old worker caught in the traffic gridlock who gave her name as Kristy, said: "The government and the police have escalated the violence."
"If the government wants the violence to stop they need to listen to our demands," she said.
Hong Kong's embattled leader Carrie Lam met senior officials late on Wednesday, media reported, amid speculation of fresh emergency measures to deal with the unrest.
The city's Education Bureau announced that schools across the territory would be shut on Thursday due to safety concerns, which typically only happens during severe typhoons or natural disasters. The Bureau later said the closure had been extended to Sunday.
Several universities also announced there would be no classes for the rest of the year from Thursday, and that they would rely on online learning and other assessment methods for the remaining weeks of term.
A number of significant shopping malls also announced they would close on Thursday due to safety concerns as protesters planned further demonstrations throughout the day.
Lam said this week protesters paralysing the city were "selfish" and were the people's enemy.

What is Manahyme Kyokupara?
Manahyme Kyokupara is an upcoming free-to-play (or rather, TRULY free-to-win) rhythm game you would expect; just some rehash of "insert name of rhythm game here", et cetera, but in truth more than just one of them!
- Gameplay Logic
-
- Basic gameplay will be like osu!, with a few modifications to its types of notes.
- However, the song clear condition will use beatmania IIDX's Groove Guage (Fill up the guage to a certain threshold by the end of the song to clear, but a single note break drops the guage by a certain amount).
- The mapping style will be initially osu!-style with a sprinkle of Taiko No Tatsujin-esque note distribution.
- Two scoring systems are used; the osu! scoring system (as the raw score), and beatmania IIDX's EX score system (as the rank score).
- Difficulty calculation system will initally be ranged from zero (0) to twelve (12) units. Unit name is currently not finalized.
-
Gameplay mod system will initially be comprised of:
- Assistance: Easy Diff (decreases overall difficulty of the song), Slow Motion (decreases song BPM to 0.5x speed), Super Slow Motion (extension of Slow Motion; decreases song BPM to 0.33x speed), Loose Judge (increases timing window of notes) and Failsafe (treat falied songs as clears)
- Intensity: Hard Rock (increases overall difficulty of the song), Sudden Death (break the combo and you instantly fail the song), Perfection (extension of Sudden Death; player must pass with 100% accuracy), Sonic (increases song BPM to 1.5x speed), Super Sonic (extension of Sonic; increases song BPM to 2x speed), Fadeout (notes fade out before hit), Hidden (extension of Fadeout; note will not appear at all) and Strict Judge (decrease timing window of notes)
- Fun: Relaxation (player cursor moves automatically), Automatic (autoplay), Cinematic (view only storyboard or video)
- User Meta
-
- Overall User Play Progress will use an adventure-like system
- Overall User Play Ranking will use a modified version of osu!'s PP system
- Account-wide personalization system (complete with signature skin, titles, etc.)
- User Hierachy System (to determine whether user is normal player, dev, mod, etc.)
- Song Meta
-
- Called beatmaps like osu!
- Difficulties named in ascending order of intensity: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Extreme, Master, Challenge (latter difficulty can allow large gap unlike other difficulties)
- Can be favorited or (unlike osu!) blacklisted by user
- Live Genre Classification System (other users can change genres of beatmaps, not limited to beatmap creator)
- Beatmap Autorization System (akin to osu!'s beatmap ranking system)
- Beatmap Song Live Identification System (to keep track of the same songs that are offered)
- Copyright Metadata (to ensure disclaimer of ownership of songs)
- Explicit Content Marking (to identify songs that are considered offensive to some players, linked to Beatmap Song Live Identification System)
And more coming in the next future!

So how does cytosolic aconitase switch between its enzymatic activity
and its mRNA-binding regulatory role?
It all depends upon its binding to a [4Fe-4S] cluster. When the iron-sulphur cluster is bound, the protein functions as a cytosolic aconitase; but when the cell lacks iron, leading to the disassembly of iron-sulphur clusters, cAcn converts to IRP1. Therefore, factors that affect the assembly and disassembly of iron-sulphur clusters can help regulate cAcn and IRP1 activities - such as iron availability or oxidative stress. Iron excess promotes cAcn and iron starvation promotes IRP1.
cAcn/IRP1 is composed of four domains, but their structure and relative organisation changes between the two functional forms of this protein. The three N-terminal domains have a similar a/b/a structure, while the C-terminal domain 4 is a mobile ‘swivel’ domain with a b/b/a structure (the domain architecture is similar in mAcn, but in bacterial AcnB the domains are swapped around, with the ‘swivel’ domain 4 near the N-terminal, preceded by a distinct HEAT-like domain).
In cAcn, the four domains come together to form a compact globular protein with the [4Fe-4S] cluster embedded in the centre at the interface of the four domains, the cluster being bound by residues in domains 1 and 2 (which form the core of the protein). Residues required for RNA-binding are inaccessible, being buried within the cAcn protein and blocked by binding to the iron-sulphur cluster. As such, the RNA-binding sites of IRP1 overlap with the enzyme active site of cAcn.
Upon disassembly of the [4Fe-4S] cluster, cAcn undergoes a rearrangement of its domains, as well as some internal conformational changes. Whereas domains 3 and 4 abut one another in cAcn, these domains swivel apart from one another to form an L-shaped open structure with domains 1 and 2 forming the central core. This movement mainly concerns the ‘swivel’ domain 4. The result is to open up a central cavity, allowing the IRE stem-loop of mRNA access to two newly formed RNA-binding sites in IRP1 (all four domains make contact with the IRE sequences in the mRNA).
The IRE stem-loop structure makes several contacts with IRP1, resulting in high affinity and specificity for certain mRNA transcripts. Furthermore, the wide separation of the two RNA binding sites prevents interactions with non-specific RNAs. This 2-point recognition system may account for the different responses observed for different IRE-containing mRNAs. In addition, the variations in IRE stem-loop structures found among different mRNAs coincide with graded responses to iron signals and different IRP binding stabilities.

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
not rated 90 minutes Cowboy Booking International a documentary featuring Hank Greenberg, Carl Levin, Sander Levin, Walter Matthau, and Alan M. Dershowitz directed by Aviva Kempner
A Review by Frankie Paiva
Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron. These players most often get thought of when people look at prominent baseball figures from the 1930s and 1940s. However, another great slugger of the time often gets overlooked. Hank Greenberg, the first Jewish baseball player to not change his name to a Christian one usually gets forgotten. Those who remember him are most likely baseball buffs, or former residents of the Detroit area. Director Aviva Kempner wanted to change that. After Greenberg's death in 1986, Kempner began a 12 year struggle for funding, filming, and spreading awareness of this film. Her hard work is evident. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg is a wonderful documentary. It's just long enough to keep it from getting boring, it has a good amount of humor, and the interviews and cross-references are mini-marvels.
Hank Greenberg first stepped to the plate in 1934 when he got signed to the Detroit Tigers. Throughout the season, especially when the pennant race heated up, he has the constant target of anti-Semitic remarks from people in the crowd. Baseball was America's game, and some believed Jews shouldn't be allowed to play it. Greenberg gained popularity by hitting most often one or two home runs a game, and leading his team to the pennant. For so many people though, he was much more than a baseball player. He was a Jewish icon, a sign of hope. A voice speaking to all Jews in America that said they could be just as successful as the "true" Americans. In one interview a fan describes his school days when they used to listen to baseball games on the radio during class. Whenever Greenberg came up to the plate all the other kids would look at him, perhaps thinking he knew whether he would hit a home run or not. Indeed he was a sense of pride for people he hadn't even met. While Hank Greenberg was a very tall (6'4'') and gawky man, he was not a very religious one. He rarely attended synagogue, and played on Rosh Hoshanah, but decided not to play on Yom Kippur. Despite this, he was still considered a religious symbol of hope. The film also chronicles his experience in the military, as well as his final seasons with the Tigers, and his one year playing on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I really enjoyed The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, mostly because of its humor and subject matter. I personally have never had a large interest in baseball, but I found the movie entertaining because I knew very little about the man before seeing it. It's enjoyable because we are supposed to take the film in a light sense. All fans (mostly famous Jews including Walter Matthau, Carl Levin, and Alan M. Dershowitz) celebrate their experience with and memories of him with zeal. The film opens and closes with another treat, the Marx Brothers singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in Yiddish. While we don't get a heavy focus on racism and anti-Semitism, Kempner expects the audience to comprehend what this man had to go through without making the racism factor seem overwrought. In the last minutes of the movie, Hank Greenberg meets Jackie Robinson who at that time got taunted much more than when Greenberg first started. The two talked long after their game, and Jackie Robinson later described Greenberg as, "Nothing but class." It’s a kind, simple, and somewhat sweet way to end the film. The movie is about a man and his fans with an undeniable passion for baseball, but the film paints a larger picture. It shows us an America on the verge of change. Well done Ms. Kempner, your twelve years of labor are well worth it.

[Erowid Warning: Most Coricidin contains CPM (Chlorpheniramine Maleate) which can be dangerous in high doses. See DXM Brand Warnings for more info.]
I first did coricidin the start iof my sophmore year at high school and thought it was fun enough but didn't really care about doing it again. I did it a few more times on weekends and realized how it made me want to meet people and made me feel more comftarable socially. I switched schools in the middle of the year and didn't know anyone so i took it my first day. anyday when i wasn't on it at school i felt like a reject, so i did it almost every day for a month or two.
One night me and my best friend were at my house and i ended up taking 28 just for the hell of it. I had never done any drug besides weed and i started tripping out and i got more scared then i ever have in my life. i was hallucinating and my best friend was drunk and didnt know what to do. After I started throwing up all over my basement my parents found out which was really bad because they thought i was an angel.
I didn't realize til after that episode how bad it gotton where i was doing really bad at my new school and probably acting really messed up all the time and not even realizing. I also realized how many boxes of coricidin I'd stolen over this period wherew i had never stolen anything before that.  I saw coricidin pills for the first time like a week ago when some girl was taking them in the bathroom at my school, and seeing them made me throw up. It's a really scary thing and its embarassing to basically go thro emotional rehab for a COLD medicine. I like to call myself an ex grocery store druggie, and for anyone who does it i recommend getting a real drug, at least then you know what you're getting into!

McINCOFrame adjustments (especially regarding little/big-endian), a lot
of cleanups in library structure, etc.
2323, 2007-12-18 10:49:05 +0100 (Di, 18 Dez 2007), zulliger
- Removed obsolete definitions from file
2427, 2008-01-04 11:28:37 +0100 (Fr, 04 Jan 2008), zulliger
- Removed error-clause if neither INDEL_WINDOWS nor INDEL_LINUX is defined.
2474, 2008-02-04 15:29:26 +0100 (Mo, 04 Feb 2008), zulliger
+ Added some commonly useful defs
3995, 2010-02-23 10:21:17 +0100 (Tue, 23 Feb 2010), fabi
! Adjusted to generate java classes with swig.
4292, 2010-07-01 16:49:46 +0200 (Do, 01 Jul 2010), tjericke
Added support for 64bit systems
4294, 2010-07-02 07:32:07 +0200 (Fr, 02 Jul 2010), tjericke
! Don't define ptr_t types for windows projects, they are already defined.
4295, 2010-07-02 09:16:47 +0200 (Fr, 02 Jul 2010), tjericke
! Changed intptr_t and uintptr_t to intptr and uintptr
4296, 2010-07-02 09:42:39 +0200 (Fri, 02 Jul 2010), walther
! Defining macro UL instead of ULL in r4292 was a typo. (We use the same
definition for both the 32 bit and 64 bit cases to stay true to the name
of the macro, I guess on an LP64 system using the resulting long long
constant in a long (int64) context should work fine.)
4383, 2010-07-27 15:00:12 +0200 (Tue, 27 Jul 2010), tjericke
! Changed defines of uint32 and int32 to use int instead of long. On windows the INDEL_NOLONG define
has to be set (for backwards compatibility). Otherwise the old definition is used.
4649, 2010-11-15 09:21:07 +0100 (Mo, 15 Nov 2010), zulliger
! Fixed the Linux 64Bit definition of ULL and UL. The error popped up
because the unittests are now compiled by default when using ibuild.py
4688, 2010-11-26 10:15:36 +0100 (Fr, 26 Nov 2010), fabi
- Removed VC6 workaround.
4987, 2011-10-19 16:13:42 +0200 (Wed, 19 Oct 2011), walther
+ Port libindel to Mac OS X and iOS. Not all parts are implemented, but
enough to get libinco_32 to work (using TCP). Missing in particular:
global semaphores, shared-memory communication, network interface
functions. Linux implementation files that are also used on Mac OS X are
moved from src/src/linux to src/src/shared. Building for Mac OS X works
using ibuild.py like on Linux. For iOS, an Xcode project is provided. It
requires wxWidgets-2.9.2 (unmodified source distribution), placed
relative to the project as specified by the WXROOT build setting.
5993, 2014-03-10 10:11:42 +0100 (Mon, 10 Mar 2014), zulliger
! Changed inclusion of C++ header file to C header file. This allows using
the header file for C-only compilers, such as used by Matlab/Simulink to
access C-DLLs
$LastChangedRevision: 6646 $ $Date: 2016-07-12 10:17:15 +0200 (Tue, 12 Jul 2016) $ $Author: walther $
! Don't define snprintf as _snprintf on MSVC14, which now has a standards-
compliant implementation. (Using _snprintf as snprintf seems questionable
anyway, as it behaves differently from what is expected of a snprintf.)

Wrox AIR Instant Results book
2007 August 3rd by todd anderson
The cat’s outta the bag… and threw up on the middle of the cover. If for some insane reason you have been wondering about the lack of posts, i have been saving my mastery of the english language to co-author a book on AIR.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work alongside Marc and Matt to produce a ‘by example’ book on AIR that we hope people will enjoy reading as much as we have writing it. Matt took the words out of my mouth, but with any new technology there is always the jazz of it’s potential and then the questioning of its practicality. I can say for certain, after having worked with it for the past several months, that AIR is the next generation in desktop software development.
The Wrox Instant Results series walks you through building applications while learning the platform API, and this is no different. We have assembled a dozen examples that you can walk away from and use as well as expand upon. As the book progesses, you build on your knowledge from previous chapters and learn new aspects of the API. With a general knowledge of Flex and basic understanding of OOP, anyone can jump into this book and take off running with their own ideas.
Also available from Wiley Wrox is Professional AIR by the esteemed Chuck Freedman, mister Keith Peters, Clint Modien, Ben Lucyk, and Ryan Manning.
