Hello, My name is Alex Robles. For the past 5 years I have been a Research Assistant at Beth Israel in an clinical research lab focusing on creating an effective HIV vaccine. Although I have learned that clinical research in a biological lab is not for me, during that time I have developed and improved upon many of the skills that will help me become a successful web developer. These skills include working effectively in a team oriented atmosphere, attention to detail, and a strong desire to be constantly learning and improving myself. In the short term I am hoping to find employment for a company that allows me to continue learning and to develop my skills as a developer. In the longer term I am hoping to find a position as a software developer working for either a company specializing in renewable energy or something involving the entertainment industry.

by PDF upload in Blackboard Assignments
Please type your answers to the following questions in a document and save as a PDFIn MS Word, or Pages, or most word processing software, File -> Save As -> PDF, or File -> Export -> PDF.
to upload on Blackboard under Assignments. You may handwrite answers if you will be able to scan/photograph & convert them to a single PDF, if they are easily readable, but this is not preferred. See my guide to making a PDF - an essential skill in the modern world. If you are handwriting answers, you may print the pdf
above and write on it, or just write on a piece of paper (we only need your answers).
For the few questions that ask you to draw a graph, try to do so on your computer (use MS Paint, the drawing tools in MS Word or MS Powerpoint, plot points in MS Excel, drawing/notetaking apps, etc.), and save it as an image to include on your homework document. Again, they need not be perfect or to scale, just show that you understand the broad idea. Being able to understand and sketch the graphs is still a very important and useful skill! If all else fails, I will be lenient in grading graph questions if you are unable to technologically include a graph.
You may work together (and I highly encourage that) but you must turn in your own answers. Your TA, under my supervision, will grade homeworks 70% for completion, and for the remaining 30%, and one question will be graded for accuracy - so it is best that you try every problem, even if you are unsure how to complete it accurately.
Please answer the following questions briefly (1-3 sentences). Use examples as necessary. Be sure to label graphs fully, if appropriate.
Describe, in your own words, what the marginal rate of technical substitution means. How is it different from the slope of the isocost line?
Describe, in your own words, what is true at the least-cost input combination (the optimum) for a firm. Why is it the optimum? What does the equality of the slope of the isoquant curve and the slope of the isocost line mean, in English?
Explain the difference between the short run and the long run in production.
Describe, in your own words, what the law of diminishing marginal returns means. How can firms increase output?
Show all work for calculations. You may lose points, even if correct, for missing work. Be sure to label graphs fully, if appropriate.
Suppose a firm can hire labor at $5/hour and rent capital for $20 per hour.
Write an equation for the total cost of the firm.
Suppose the firm wants to spend exactly $100. With labor on the horizontal axis and capital on the vertical axis, find the equation of the isocost line (in a graphable form), and graph it.
If the firm is completely automated (i.e. it uses only capital), how many units of capital can they employ for $100?
If the firm uses only labor, how many units of labor can they employ for $100?
What is the slope of the isocost line? What does it represent?
Suppose a tax on capital makes renting capital raises the price of capital to $25 per hour. What is the new (graphable) equation of the $100 isocost line? Graph the new isocost line on the same graph.
For each of the following production functions, identify whether the production process exhibits constant returns to scale, increasing returns to scale, or decreasing returns to scale. Be sure to show your work!
\[q=2L+4K\]
\[q=6L^{0.25}K^{0.75}\]
\[q=2L^{0.8}K^{0.4}\]
\[q=2L^{0.25}K^{0.25}\]
Jerry’s Berries is a small farm that has the following production function for strawberries using combinations of labor \((l)\) and land \((t)\): \[q = 2 \, lt\]
The marginal products (of labor, \(l\); and land, \(t)\) are:
\[\begin{align*} MP_l &= 2t\\ MP_t &= 2l\\ \end{align*}\]
Put labor, \(l\) on the horizontal axis and land, \(t\) on the vertical axis.
Write an equation for \(MRTS_{l,t}\).
Suppose the farm is currently using 4 units of labor and 1 unit of land. How much output (tons of strawberries) is the farm producing?
From its current production, how much more output would the farm get by utilizing 1 more unit of labor? What about 1 more unit of land (instead of labor)?
From its current production, how many units of land would the farm be willing to forgo in order to use one more unit of labor and still produce the same output as before? How many units of labor would the farm be willing to forgo in order to use one more unit of land and still produce the same output as before?
Suppose the farm can choose between input combinations of \(a = (4,1)\), \(b=(2,2)\), \(c=(2,1)\), and \(d=d(3,2)\). What outputs does each combination yield?
Sketch a graph, plotting bundles \(a, b, c\), and \(d\). Indicate any isoquant curve(s) they are on, and how much output each provides.
Mad Max’s Road Warriors fix potholes in interstate highways. Max’s road crews fill potholes using workers and shovels, always in 1 to 1 combinations. Using 1 worker with 1 shovel can fill 10 potholes in a day. A worker with 2 shovels can still only fill 10 potholes, as can 2 workers with 1 shovel.
What is the relationship between workers and shovels as inputs?
Draw three production isoquants: one corresponding to filling 10 potholes, one for 20 potholes, and one for 30 potholes.
Mad Max receives a state contract to fill in 30 potholes. If the price of shovels is $10, and wages are $5, what is the lowest cost Mad Max can fulfill the contract at? Plot this isocost line on the graph.
Add two more isocost lines to the graph, one for a total cost of $15 and one for $30. Hint: you’ll need to find the equations, and nicely, the slope doesn’t change.
If the cost of buying a shovel rises from $10 to $20, what will happen to the rate at which Max Max combines workers and shovels to fill the potholes? Why?
Your firm builds aircraft engines using both labor (L) and power tools (K). The production function for aircraft engines is \(q=10 L^{0.5}K^{0.5}\)
Can you completely mechanize the production of aircraft engines (i.e. produce using all capital, no labor)?
Suppose you currently have 100 power tools. In the short run, you cannot buy or sell power tools. Derive your short run production function.
Find the (i) total product of labor, (ii) average product of labor, and (iii) marginal product of labor for using 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 workers.Hint: make a table!
Round to the nearest engine. Does labor experience diminishing returns?
Using your answer from Part C, sketch two graphs (roughly), one of total product, and one of marginal and average product, each with labor on the horizontal axis.
In the long run, does the production function exhibit constant returns to scale, increasing returns to scale, or decreasing returns to scale?
Dunder Mifflin paper company produces reams of paper each week according to the production function: \[\begin{align*}q &=10 l^{0.5} k^{0.5}\\ MP_l& = 5l^{-0.5}k^{0.5}\\ MP_k& = 5l^{0.5}k^{-0.5}\\ \end{align*}\]
They have determined that they need to ship 1,000 reams of paper this week to Scranton, PA. Using capital costs $20, whereas labor costs $10.
What is the cost-minimizing combination of labor and capital that will yield 1,000 reams of paper? Round each to the nearest whole number.
What is the total cost of using this combination of inputs?
Now suppose that they need to double their output this week, and need to produce 2,000 reams of paper. How does their optimal combination of inputs change?Hint: neither the equation for MRTS nor any prices are changing!
What is the total cost of this new level of output?
Suppose management at Dunder Mifflin develops a new program that magically makes everyone at the firm more productive, such that the firm’s new production function becomes: \[\begin{align*}q &=20 l^{0.5} k^{0.5}\\ MP_l& = 10l^{-0.5}k^{0.5}\\ MP_k& = 10l^{0.5}k^{-0.5}\\ \end{align*}\]
Still needing to supply 2,000 reams of paper this week at the same input prices, what is their new optimal combination of labor and capital?
How much does this combination cost? What does this show you about technological improvement (or “total factor productivity”)?

SCENE. Hall in Capulet's house.
Enter LADY CAPULET and Nurse
LADY CAPULET
Hold, take these keys, and fetch more spices, nurse.
Nurse
They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.

CAPULET
No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.
LADY CAPULET
Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;
But I will watch you from such watching now.
Exeunt LADY CAPULET and Nurse
CAPULET
A jealous hood, a jealous hood!
Enter three or four Servingmen, with spits, logs, and baskets
Now, fellow,
What's there?
First Servant
Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what.
CAPULET
Make haste, make haste.
Exit First Servant
Sirrah, fetch drier logs:
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.
Second Servant
I have a head, sir, that will find out logs,
And never trouble Peter for the matter.
Exit
CAPULET
Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha!
Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith, 'tis day:
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would: I hear him near.
Music within
Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, nurse, I say!
Re-enter Nurse
Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up;
I'll go and chat with Paris: hie, make haste,
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already:
Make haste, I say.
(Exeunt)

Installing Eclipse Cyclone DDS¶
System requirements¶
At the time of writing, Eclipse Cyclone DDS is known to run on Linux, macOS and Windows. The build-process is not yet able to generate native packages.
Linux and macOS¶
Post install steps¶
The installation package installs examples in system directories. In order to have a better user experience when building the Eclipse Cyclone DDS examples, it is advised to copy the examples to a user-defined location. This is to be able to build the examples natively and experiment with the example source code.
For this, the installation package provides the vdds_install_examples script, located in /usr/bin.
Create an user writable directory where the examples should go. Navigate to that directory and execute the script. Answer ‘yes’ to the questions and the examples will be installed in the current location.
Type vdds_install_examples -h
for more information.
Paths¶
To be able to run Eclipse Cyclone DDS executables, the required libraries (like libddsc.so) need to be available to the executables. Normally, these are installed in system default locations and it works out-of-the-box. However, if they are not installed in those locations, it is possible that the library search path has to be changed. This can be achieved by executing the command:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<install_dir>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Windows¶
Paths¶
To be able to run Eclipse Cyclone DDS executables, the required libraries (like ddsc.dll) need to be available to the executables. Normally, these are installed in system default locations and it works out-of-the-box. However, if they are not installed on those locations, it is possible that the library search path has to be changed. This can be achieved by executing the command:
set PATH=<install_dir>/bin;%PATH%
Test your installation¶
Eclipse Cyclone DDS includes a simple Hello World! application which can be run in order to test your installation. The Hello World! application consists of two executables: a so called HelloworldPublisher and a HelloworldSubscriber.
To run the example application, please open two console windows and navigate to the appropriate directory in both console windows. Run the HelloworldSubscriber in one of the console windows by the typing following command:
- Windows
HelloworldSubscriber.exe
- Linux
./HelloworldSubscriber
and the HelloworldPublisher in the other console window by typing:
- Windows
HelloworldPublisher.exe
- Linux
./HelloworldPublisher
The output HelloworldPublisher should look like
while the HelloworldSubscriber will be looking like this
For more information on how to build this application your own and the code which has been used, please have a look at the Hello World! chapter.

I love to see examples of customised WebDrawer and I have seen a couple recently, the first of which is a simple and effective policy portal from Edit Cowan University.


This FTP daemon was written from scratch. The list of supported features includes:
Small memory footprint
Event-driven, pre-forking
Not called by inetd
Supports traffic shaping
Highly configurable using access control lists for commands and configuration variables
Utilizes the MAVIS modular authentication system
A couple of wu-ftpd-like features (banners, checksum calculation, ...) are available
DNS resolving is done if the daemon is compiled with lwres support
Asynchronous RFC1413 ident lookups
Large File support.
64bit clean
The daemon support several standards and drafts:
Standard RFC959 FTP commands supported are:
ABOR, APPE, CWD, CDUP, DELE, HELP, LIST, NLST, MDTM, MKD, NOOP, PASS, PASV, PORT, PWD, QUIT, REIN, REST, RETR, RMD, RNFR, RNTO, SITE, SIZE, STAT, STOR, STOU, SYST, TYPE, USER, XCUP, XCWD, XMKD, XPWD, XRMD
IPv6 support is available. Both the RFC1639 (aka. FOOBAR) extensions (LPRT, LPSV) and the more recent ones defined in RFC2428 (EPRT, EPSV) are supported.
The feature negotiation commands FEAT and OPTS introduced in RFC2389 are supported.
The command LANG (RFC2640) allows negotiation of a language for greetings and error messages. Currently supported languages include English and German.
RFC4217 (Securing FTP with TLS) is supported, If the daemon was compiled with TLS support. AUTH TLS et al. may then be used to switch to a secure channel; certificate authentication is supported. This may or may not be legal in your country
MDTM and SIZE aren't specified in RFC959, but may become part of a revised FTP specification.
MLST and MLSD are supported, but the specification is still in draft status.
The proposed fact modification commands MFMT and MFF are supported.
Virtual host support is available using the HOST command (requires explicit support via MAVIS backends).
The experimental commands ESTA and ESTP are available.
MODE Z enables deflate transmission mode. Alternatively, just add .gz to a file name for on-the-fly compression.
Various SITE commands are available:
SITE CHMOD changes permission modes.
SITE GROUP may be used to switch to another group id.
SITE GROUPS displays the available group ids in wu-ftpd style.
SITE ID displays both user id and the available group ids.
SITE IDLE displays or changes the idle timeout.
SITE UMASK displays or changes the current umask.
SITE CHECKMETHOD selects a checksum method (either CRC or MD5), as does OPTS HASH.
SITE CHECKSUM calculates and displays checksum values, as does HASH. The RANG command for specifying byte ranges is supported. wu-ftpd-like file conversions for .md5 and .crc are implemented.
SITE HTPWD may be useful for maintaining .htpasswd compliant password files.
SITE HELP or SITE HELP COMMAND display information about available commands and command syntax.
This section gives a brief and basic overview how to run ftpd.
In earlier versions, ftpd wasn't a standalone program but had to be invoked by spawnd. This has changed, as spawnd is now part of the ftpd binary. However, using a dedicated spawnd process is still possible and, more importantly, the spawnd configuration options and documentation remain valid.
ftpd may use auxilliary MAVIS backend modules for authentication and authorization.
The only mandatory argument is the path to the configuration file:
ftpd [ -P ] [ -d level ] [ -i child_id ] configuration-file [ id ]
If the program was compiled with CURL support, configuration-file may be an URL.
Keep the -P option in mind ‐ it is imperative that the configuration file supplied is syntactically correct, as the daemon won't start if there are any parsing errors at start-up.
The -d switch enables debugging. You most likely don't want to use this. Read the source if you need to.
The -i option is only honoured if the build-in spawnd functionality is used. In that case, it selects the configuration ID for ftpd, while the optional last argument id sets the ID of the spawnd configuration section.
Both the master (that's the process running the spawnd code) and the child processes (running the ftpd code) intercept the SIGHUP signal:
The master process will restart upon reception of SIGHUP, re-reading the configuration file. The child processes will recognize that the master process is no longer available. It will continue to serve the existing connections and terminate when idle.
If SIGHUP is sent to a child process it will stop accepting new connections from its master process. It will continue to serve the existing connections and terminate when idle.
Several level-triggered event mechanisms are supported. By default, the one best suited for your operating system will be used. However, you may use the environment variable IO_POLL_MECHANISM to select a specific one.
The following event mechanisms are supported (in order of preference):
port (Sun Solaris 10 and higher only, IO_POLL_MECHANISM=32)
kqueue (*BSD and Darwin only, IO_POLL_MECHANISM=1)
/dev/poll (Sun Solaris only, IO_POLL_MECHANISM=2)
epoll (Linux only, IO_POLL_MECHANISM=4)
poll (IO_POLL_MECHANISM=8)
select (IO_POLL_MECHANISM=16)
Environment variables can be set in the configuration file at top-level:
setenv IO_POLL_MECHANISM = 4
Several configuration options are very similar in syntax. For that reason, I'll use a couple of shortcuts below:
Boolean: yes/permit or no/deny
Path: A valid file file path on your system.
Number: A positive integer number.
Directory: A valid directory path on your system.
CIDR: A single IP address or network the latter in Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation (Address/MaskLength).
The following table summarizes configuration options with plain
Variable = Argument
syntax:
| Variable | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| mimetypes | This specifies the path to a mime.types file. Mime-types are used for the media-type fact in MLST/MLSD replies. | |
| Type of Argument | Path | |
| Default Value | none | |
| Example: | ||
mimetypes = /etc/mime.types |
||
| buffer size | Permits tuning of buffer allocation size. | |
| Type of Argument | Integer | |
| Default Value | 32k | |
| buffer mmap-size | Permits tuning of buffer allocation size. Setting mmap-size to 0 will cause whole files to be memory-mapped. However, if you do so on a 32bit system, it may run out of address space. | |
| Type of Argument | Integer | |
| Default Value | 256k (on 64bit systems: unlimited) | |
| hide-version | This options controls whether the daemon will omit its version number in the HELP response. | |
| Type of Argument | Boolean | |
| Default Value | no | |
| retire | If set, the daemon will terminate after processing count sessions, what may be useful to remedy the effects of memory leaks. | |
| Type of Argument | Integer | |
| Default Value | unset | |
| log-format command | Sets format for logging to syslog. | |
| Type of Argument | String | |
| Default Value | "CMD|%i|%r|%I|%t|%u|%C|%c" | |
| log-format event | Sets format for logging to syslog. | |
| Type of Argument | String | |
| Default Value | "EVE|%i|%r|%I|%u|%t|%d" | |
| log-format transfer | Sets format for logging to syslog. | |
| Type of Argument | String | |
| Default Value | "XFR|%i|%r|%I|%t|%u|%d|%m|%b/%s|%D|%c" | |
| log-format delimiter | All occurrences of the delimiter character will be replaced by the substitute character before logging. | |
| Type of Argument | Character | |
| Default Value | "|" | |
| log-format substitute | All occurrences of the delimiter character will be replaced by the substitute character before logging. | |
| Type of Argument | Character | |
| Default Value | "_" | |
| nlst | This directive may be used to limit output of the NLST command to regular files. It is provided for wu-ftpd compatibility. | |
| Argument | files-only | |
| Default Value | unset | |
| use-mmap | On systems supporting memory-mapped I/O, the daemon may use mmap(2) for read-only file access. Preliminary tests indicated that mmap(2)/write(2) improves binary file transfer performance by about 12% compared to read(2)/write(2). ASCII transfers and checksum calculations show better performance, too. The daemon will automatically fall back to standard I/O if the mmap(2) syscall fails. | |
| Argument | Boolean | |
| Default Value | yes | |
| use-sendfile | On systems supporting sendfile(2), the daemon may use that syscall for binary file transfers. Preliminary tests indicated that sendfile(2) improves performance by about 18% compared to read(2)/write(2), and by about 5% compared to mmap(2)/write(2). The daemon will automatically fall back to memory mapped or standard I/O if the sendfile(2) syscall fails. | |
| Argument | Boolean | |
| Default Value | yes |
Various configuration directives may depend on ACLs. ACL syntax is
acl ACLName = { ... }
To be more precisely, the above doesn't specify a complete ACL, but adds a ACL rule to ACLName. As such, an acl declaration may be used multiple times, and the ACL rule will just be added to the end of the current rule list. Likewise, ACL rules are evaluated sequentially, in the order of definition.
Inside the curly brackets, recognized matching criteria are:
src = [ not ] CIDR
(matches source address of client)
dst = [ not ] CIDR
(matches local destination address)
authenticated = [ not ] ( yes | no | real | anon )
(matches if the user has authenticated as a real or anonymous user; yes matches both)
protected = Boolean
(matches according to the TLS protection status)
time = [ not ] TimeSpecName
Matches depending on current time.
timespec objects may be used for time based profile assignments. Both cron and Taylor-UUCP syntax are supported, see you local crontab(5) and/or UUCP man pages for details. Syntax:
timespec = timespec_name{ "entry" [ ... ] }
Example:
# Working hours are from Mo-Fr from 9 to 16:59, and # on Saturdays from 9 to 12:59: timespec = workinghours { "* 9-16 * * 1-5" # or: "* 9-16 * * Mon-Fri" "* 9-12 * * 6" # or: "* 9-12 * * Sat" } timespec = sunday { "* * * * 0" } timespec = example { Wk2305-0855,Sa,Su2305-1655 Wk0905-2255,Su1705-2255 Any }
user = [ not ] [ regex ] [ caseless ] User
(matches current user name verbatim or as POSIX regular expression)
arg = [ not ] [ regex ] [ caseless ] Arg
(matches command argument verbatim or as POSIX regular expression)
path = [ not ] [ regex ] [ caseless ] Path
(matches path verbatim or as POSIX regular expression)
host = [ not ] [ regex ] [ caseless ] Host
(matches virtual host name verbatim or as POSIX regular expression)
For src and dst multiple definitions may be given within the same rule.
Example:
acl rfc1918 = { src = <IP_ADDRESS> src = <IP_ADDRESS>/8 src = <IP_ADDRESS>/12 src = <IP_ADDRESS>/16 } acl ipv6_any = { src = ::0 } acl notsunday = { time = workinghours } acl test001 = { arg regex = ^.cshrc$ authenticated = real } acl test002 = { user = root authenticated = real }
These are predefined:
acl = secure { protected = yes } acl = any { } acl = connect { } acl = real { authenticated = real } acl = anon { authenticated = anon } acl = login { authenticated = yes }
The following table summarizes configuration options with
Variable [ acl [ not ] AclName ] = Argument

| Type of Argument | String | |
| Default Value | unset | |
| log | Enables logging for the specified LogTypes (command, transfer, event, ident) | |
| Type of Argument | LogType | |

FTP commands may depend on ACLs, too. Syntax for that is:
command = [ site ] Command { ( acl [ not ] ACLName = [ log ] ( permit | deny ) )* }
Example:
command = site chmod { acl connect = log permit } command = pass { acl not real = log permit }
If compiled with PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) support,
rewrite perl-regex replacement [ flags ]
may be used to implement Perl-like file path rewriting rules. Valid flags are L (last), N (next) and R (reject). $n (or ${n} for n > 9) in replacement will be substituted by the corresponding match in perl-regex. This option is available only if PCRE support is compiled in. Example:
rewrite ^/ftp/mirror-(.*)$ /ftp/mirror/$1 rewrite ^/tmp/test/(..)$ /tmp/test rewrite ^/tmp/test/../.*$ $0 L rewrite ^/tmp/test/(..)(.*) /tmp/gaga/${1}/${1}$2 L rewrite ^/tmp/test123 $0 R
If compiled with TLS support, various TLS related parameters may be specified. Most of the options should obvious enough:
tls certfile = CertFile
tls keyfile = KeyFile
tls passphrase = PassPhrase
tls auth = Boolean
tls required = Boolean
tls cafile = CAFile
tls capath = CAPath
tls depth = Depth
tls ciphers = Ciphers
tls old-draft = Boolean
The auth keyword enables client certificate based authentication. This requires some further configuration within the auth MAVIS module. Certificate based authentication will require at least OpenSSL version 0.9.7.
If old-draft is specified, the daemon responds with a 234 instead of a 334 message after successfully negotiating TLS. This enables use of clients conforming to older versions of draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl. It is recommended not to use that option, but to fix the client.
keyfile may be omitted, it defaults to CertFile.
All this is unset by default.
Directives to configure the MAVIS backends are:
mavis module = module { ... }
Load MAVIS module module. See the MAVIS documentation for confi guration guidance.
mavis path = path
Add path to the search-path for MAVIS modules.
Limited file name globbing for the LIST and NLST commands is implemented for files in the current working directory.
Recognized glob patterns are:
* matches any string, including the empty string
? matches any single character
[...] matches exactly one single character between the brackets. If the first character inside the brackets is a !, the expression matches the complement. If it is a ] it matches the literal ]. Two characters separated by - denote a range.
For the CWD command only, a tilde (~) character at the beginning of the argument expands to the users home directory.
The magic cookies used are partially compatible to those utilized by wu-ftpd. Text and files specified using the configuration directives banner, goodbye, greeting, readme and welcome are subject to cookie substitution.
Available conversions are:
%A ‐ number of transfers
%B ‐ build time
%C ‐ current working directory as displayed to user
%D ‐ time for last transfer
%E ‐ maintainer
%F ‐ number of files transfered
%H ‐ virtual host if set, local hostname else
%I ‐ identity ‐ user name for real users, email or empty else
%L ‐ local hostname
%P ‐ email for anonymous users, empty string else
%R ‐ remote host name, [%r] if unavailable
%T ‐ local time
%U ‐ user name
%V ‐ version number
%a ‐ total number of bytes transfered
%b ‐ bytes transferred during last transfer
%c ‐ command or file name
%d ‐ direction of transfer (In, Out, in failed, out failed, X: aborted)
%e ‐ event (login, logout or reject)
%f ‐ number of bytes for file transfers
%i ‐ unique session id
%l ‐ local ip address
%m ‐ transfer mode (ascii or binary)
%r ‐ remote ip address
%s ‐ file size of last transferred file
%t ‐ type of user (real, anonymous or unknown)
%u ‐ user name from RFC1413 lookup
%% ‐ literal percent sign
This is from the ftpd/sample directory:
#!../obj.darwin-9.6.0-i386/ftpd id = spawnd { listen = { port = 2121 } spawn = { instances min = 1 } background = no } id = ftpd { debug = NET CMD mavis path = ../../mavis/obj.darwin-9.6.0-i386 mavis module = anonftp { userid = 100 groupid = mail home = / root = /tmp/ upload = /tmp/incoming/ } symlinks = all check-uid = no check-gid = no check-perm = no }
The server doesn't perform a chroot(2).
Ftpd has to be started by the super-user unless a non-privileged (and such non-standard) port is used.
The LIST algorithm doesn't permit recursive directory listings, and output differs from POSIX (no total line at start of directory listing). However, I don't consider this a serious deficiency, as LIST output isn't standardized anyway.
TLS re-negotiation is currently untested and may or may not work.
UTF-8 support is likely to be incomplete or plain broken.
There may still be some nasty bugs lurking in the code. Please
contact the author via the "Event-Driven Servers" Google Group at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or http://groups.google.com/group/event-driven-servers if
you think you've found one.

In the 1990s a new model of commerce emerged, which was based on using the Internet and harnessing the power of individual customers. New businesses were founded like Amazon.com and eBay.com, which operated their retail business fully online. Let us have a look at their operations.
Jeff Bezos launched Amazon.com in 1995. His idea came from that time when he was working at a Wall Street firm. He observed the tremendous possibilities in using the Internet to sell products. He made a list of possible items to sell, and his final decision was: books. He reasoned that there were millions of book titles out in the market but there was not such a bookstore that could hold all these titles.
Pierre Omidyar thought a marketplace on the Web would be fairer and more accessible than any other existing market. So, he created eBay.com during a long weekend all by himself in 1995; he needed to code mostly three things for the future users of his auction site: how to create an item, a possibility for accessing all items others already created, and a feature to bid on these items.
Just to put into perspective how fast the Internet spread; to reach 50 million users:
This explosive growth was driven by two facts. Firstly, we need to mention Moore’s law which says that the power of integrated circuits doubles every 18 months. Thanks to this fact, computers became smaller and less expensive, in a word, more accessible to an average customer. Secondly, according to Metcalf’s law, every new user does not just add a new connection to the network, its effect are much bigger, as it has the potential to connect to all the other users in the network. It means that as the number of internet users grows, the usefulness of the Internet grows, too, at a much higher rate.
Integrated circuits on a board
by Vishnu Mohanan
Wall Street firms took notice of the immense growth of these new internet-based companies, and capital began to pour into these new start-ups. The reason they did not fear the risk was that Jeff Bezos’s view started to expand among stockbrokers. Jeff Bezos stated that profit can be sacrificed temporarily to reach rapid growth in the market. Shortly, this strategy was called: Get big fast! This blind belief in growth led to the doubling of Amazon.com’s stock price in just a couple of weeks; other web-based companies enjoyed similar benefits in the stock market.
The easily accessible capital started to attract more and more entrepreneurs; a lot of new start-ups popped up without any solid business plan or experience in this industry. After a while, stockbrokers and financial analysts noticed that there is no real revenue behind these new e-commerce businesses, but they did not stop recommending these stocks (IPOs) to their customers because they did not want to risk their incoming earnings. Venture capitalists also knew that most of these companies will not thrive, but they were blinded by the possibility to find something similar like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Finally, the stock market became so overwhelmed that the Federal Reserve Bank needed to raise the federal reserve interest rate in early 2000 to stop this bubble grow further. Shortly after that, the trust in “Get big fast” dissolved, and the stock market collapsed; the NASDAQ lost more than two-thirds of its value.
After the bubble popped, the possibilities in using the Web did not disappear at all. E-commerce companies like Amazon.com and eBay.com, which prioritized customer experience, survived and turned out to be hugely profitable worldwide. In fact, providing good customer experience became the widespread view among e-commerce companies. Furthermore, the billions of dollars of funds were also spent on a good cause during the dot-com bubble; the fiber-optic Internet infrastructure was built all around the USA. Without the dot-com boom, we could have not accessed fast internet speed in such a short time.

This is a regular lunch or supper at casa mia, as anyone who follows me on Twitter or Instagram will recognise. I sometimes poach the salmon and keep it in the fridge (see tips), just so that I can make it even faster when the need hits. It’s quick work anyway, so this is more of an aside than a piece of advice.
Put the salmon fillets in a small frying pan (I use one with a 20cm/8in diameter) and cover with cold water from the tap. Add the spring onions and peppercorns, squeeze in the lime juice and sprinkle in the salt, then bring to the boil, uncovered. When the pan is bubbling, turn the fillets over, then remove the pan from the heat and leave to stand for 7 minutes. Then take the fillets out of the liquid and leave to cool completely, which could take up to 1 hour. Once cool, the salmon will be cooked through, with its flesh desirably tender and coral inside.
While the salmon’s cooling, make a start on the salad. Toast the pumpkin seeds by tossing them in a dry, heavy-based frying pan on the hob. They will start jumping a little, and will darken and get a smokier taste. It doesn’t take long to toast them, so don’t leave the pan and, indeed, keep giving it a quick swirl. Then transfer to a cold plate.
When you’re ready to unite salmon with salad, put the watercress into a large shallow bowl, sprinkle with the vinegar, and toss. Now add the salmon, removing the skin and tearing the fish into bite-sized pieces or shreddy bits, as you wish.
Halve the avocado and remove the stone, then spoon the flesh out onto the salmon and watercress, or cut it into slices if you prefer. Drizzle the oil over the salad, sprinkle with the salt and half of the toasted pumpkin seeds, and toss gently to mix. Scatter the remaining pumpkin seeds on top, and eat.

beyond this
future aspirations, etc.
-
Better calibration
-
better support for device sensors
-
More uses - larger scale interactions (a proper website etc)
-
not very secure and maybe a bit inefficient, since it’s a two way route and in reality the one part only receives and the other only transmits
-
different users are not treated differently, they could be distinguished in future demos.

Testimonial:
I have been a client with Stepforth for the past 7 years on various pieces of business and have found their SEO/SEM knowledge and services to be exemplary. They employ a very strategic approach to new projects that always brings about immediate results. And past launch, Stepforth goes above and beyond to ensure that top rankings are maintained and traffic increases continue to be the norm. Stepforth is truly a partner and I would not hesitate in recommending them to any business interested in increasing their online presence. Kelly Carter, Associate Media Director, JSA/inVentive HealthWe underwent a search of vendors to provide Search Engine Optimization services for the Time Inc. family of websites, and we chose Ross Dunn and the Stepforth team after looking at a number of other companies. Their skill set was as good or better than their competitors, their prices were appropriate for our needs, and most importantly they were extremely professional while maintaining an easy demeanor. We found their ability to pull together a diverse set of needs and variables to look at impressive, and the presentation and data provided at the end of the engagement was quite educational and exactly what we needed. Engaging Stepforth on the websites of Fortune Magazine and Business 2.0, we also have the opportunitiy to improve our other centrally managed titles like the websites of Time Magazine, In Style, People and Parenting. - Dean Heistad, Director of Technology, Time Inc.

Cambodia and Thailand football teams complain about logistical issues at SEA Games 2019
by Sarthak SharmaOne after another, the problems continue to pile up for the organisers of the Southeast Asian Games (SEA) 2019 to be held in Philippines in the coming week.
It started with players of the Timor Leste football team complaining about the excessive delay they faced at the airport after landing in the Philippines, and then being taken to the wrong hotel by the authorities.
This was compounded when the Myanmar national football team also raised issues concerning the cramped buses provided to them and facilities not being good enough.
Now, it seems like Thailand and Cambodia have also faced problems, with the former complaining about the training of the team having to be delayed due to logistical trouble.
Moreover, Cambodia have faced problems as well, with photos allegedly displaying the team’s players having to sleep on carpets because their hotel rooms were not ready for use.
The PHISGOC sent out a statement regarding the incidents, and you can read them here.

| Decoder::Decoder | ( | ACE_Message_Block * | data | ) |
Constructor.
Initializes an input CDR stream with data. Makes a "duplicate" of the ACE_Data_Block object held by the given ACE_Message_Block, which just increments the reference count in the ACE_Data_Block object. This results in sharing of the raw data between the given ACE_Message_Block and the ACE_InputCDR object. Extracts the first sizeof(Preamble) bytes into the preamble_ attribute.

A common method for reducing the size of the data without discarding information when saving mass spectrometry data is to only store data points where the intensity is greater than zero. This can result in the data points in any two spectra containing different m/z values (for example in one spectrum there may be a peak at 798.55 and therefore a corresponding data point, but in the next spectrum this peak was not detected and therefore this value is not present in the spectrum).
This method of storing spectra can cause issues for spectral visualisation, combining spectra (such as calculating an average, or generating a ‘data cube’) or performing preprocessing methods (such as smoothing or baseline correction).
Select a spectrum by clicking on a pixel in the image.
Open Preprocessing Workflow Editor
by selecting Edit
button in Spectral Preprocessing
panel.
Select most appropriate Zero Filling
method (see Choosing the most appropriate method section below) and click the adjacent +
button.
Enter desired parameters for the chosen method (if appropriate, and applicable), optionally checking the effect of the zero filling method by zooming into the spectrum and observing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ spectra.
Click OK
to close the Edit Preprocesing Method
window and then OK
again to close the Preprocessing Workflow Editor
. The chosen method(s) will now be automatically applied to any viewed spectrum.
The most appropriate method to use depends on the data and the desired next step in the processing workflow. The methods included in SpectralAnalysis are described below.
Specify a m/z bin size, and a m/z range. The resulting m/z axis then spans the specified m/z range consisting of equally sized bins. All data points which fall within one of the bins are then added together to generate the resulting spectrum.
Specify a PPM bin size, and a m/z range. The resulting m/z axis then spans the specified m/z range consisting of bins of increasing size (each bin has a constant size in PPM, but as PPM is proportional to m/z, the bin size increases as m/z increases). All data points which fall within one of the bins are then added together to generate the resulting spectrum.
Specify a m/z bin size, and a m/z range. The resulting m/z axis then spans the specified m/z range consisting of equally sized bins. All data points are then interpolated onto the new m/z axis (linear interpolation).
Specify a PPM bin size, and a m/z range. The resulting m/z axis then spans the specified m/z range consisting of bins of increasing size (each bin has a constant size in PPM, but as PPM is proportional to m/z, the bin size increases as m/z increases). All data points are then interpolated onto the new m/z axis (linear interpolation).

Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting.
Amen.


Rust confirmed for PS4 and Xbox One
by Aran SuddiDuring XO19 last night the mulitplayer survival sim Rust was announced for Xbox One and the game has also been confirmed for PS4. Facepunch Studios first released Rust for Early Access on Steam in 2013 and it left the program in 2018. All that time PC players have been trying to survive the harsh realities of the island where everyone is out for themselves unless they work with a dedicated group.
Console players will be able to rent dedicated servers and configure the rules so their own worlds can be adapted. The game itself will run similar to the PC version with the only major change being the control inputs and the user interface changes.
Matt spent some time with Rust back in 2015 and had this to say:
There are just so many things to like about Rust. The world feels very alive with its attractive vistas, the full day/night cycle that even comes with weather patterns, and a variety of animals roaming about while either trying to escape or attack you. The way you meet other players feels so organic and intense, and you never know if they’re friendly and might even want to team up, or if they have every intention of sticking a knife in you when you turn away.
You can read his full impressions of Rust here. Rust is expected to be released in 2020 for consoles.
