PRODUCT(3) - [ARRAY:REDUCTION] Product of array elements
result = product(array [,dim] [,mask])
NUMERIC function product(array, dim, mask)NUMERIC,intent(in) :: array(..) integer(kind=**),intent(in),optional :: dim logical(kind=**),intent(in),optional :: mask(..)
o a kind designated as ** may be any supported kind for the type o NUMERIC is any numeric type and kind.
PRODUCT(3) multiplies together all the selected elements of ARRAY, or along dimension DIM if the corresponding element in MASK is .true..
If DIM is absent, a scalar with the product of all elements in ARRAY is returned. (Note a zero-sized ARRAY returns 1).
When DIM is present, If the masked array has a dimension of one (ie. is a vector) the result is a scalar. Otherwise, an array of rank N-1, where N equals the rank of ARRAY, and a shape similar to that of ARRAY with dimension DIM dropped is returned.
o ARRAY : Shall be an array of type integer, real or complex. o DIM : shall be a scalar of type integer with a value in the range from 1 TO N, where N equals the rank of ARRAY. o MASK : shall be of type logical and either be a scalar or an array of the same shape as ARRAY.
The result is of the same type as ARRAY.
Sample program:
program demo_product implicit none character(len=*),parameter :: all=(*(g0,1x)) ! a handy format character(len=1),parameter :: nl=new_line(a)Results:NO_DIM: block ! If DIM is not specified, the result is the product of all the ! selected array elements. integer :: i,n, p1, p2 integer,allocatable :: array(:) ! all elements are selected by default do n=1,10 print all, factorial of ,n, is , product([(real(i),i=1,n)]) enddo

! NOTE: If ARRAY is a zero-sized array, the result is equal to one print all print all, zero-sized array=>,product([integer :: ]) ! NOTE: If nothing in the mask is true, this also results in a null ! array print all, all elements have a false mask=>, & & product(array,mask=.false.)

A daemon thread is a thread, that does not prevent the JVM from exiting when the program finishes but the thread is still running. An example for a daemon thread is the garbage collection. There are currently daemon threads running inside the JVM.


Cyclomatic Complexity measures the number of decisions of piece of code can make (flow control such as if/then, try/catch, for, while, break, continue, etc.). Values between 1-9 are considered ideal. Values between 10-20 are considered acceptable depending on the use (they can indicate poor design, or inherently tricky areas). Values higher than 20 should be considered unacceptable and must be refactored. Generally, high CC indicates code is difficult to understand, far away from polymorphism, and has a high liklihood of introducing bugs during bugfixing or maintenance.
Values <= 10 are fine, between 11 and 20 should be refactored, and values above 20 are usually considered unacceptable and should be refactored.
For more info, see the Wikipedia article on cyclomatic complexity
Showing files under C:/PythonDev/pynocle/pynocle with a CC greater than or equal to 6.

Katra emulates a subset of three basic dialects:
HP 2000/Access BASIC, GWBasic, and Atari Basic.
For our purposes, there is little difference between
these three with the exception of string handling in
GWBasic, which uses MID$, LEFT, RIGHT$, etc.
Other differences don't overlap:
- You can use either braces or parens to access arrays,
so DIM Z(2) and DIM Z[2] work the same.
- Use Cat[alog], Gro[up], or Lib[rary] to list HP user
group and system folders. Use GET-STTR1 to load from user,
GET-*TREK73 to load from group, and GET-$TRADER to load from
the system folder.
- Use DIR to list the GWBasic root, and GWBASIC "path/to/file" to
load a program.
- Use FILES to list the Atari root, and ATARI "path/to/file" to load
a program.

Ever feel intimidated to ask questions on Stack Overflow? Ever have a question that was asked but never answered on SO?
You’re not alone. Turns out that
- only 5.8% of the sites on SO are women as of 2016
- less than a quarter of the developers are newcomers (<5 years of experience) and
- more than 30% of questions on the site are left unanswered
To mitigate some of these issues, I completed (as a part of an honors project) some extensive literature review to find qualities of good questions that earned high social approval via the reputation system, and used these to build a Chrome sidebar that:
- dynamically evaluates the current quality of a question under construction on SO
- makes suggested improvements based upon the evaluation and
- displays answer previews of relevant questions

--- layout: post title: git - squashing commits date: '2011-04-04T12:13:00+02:00' tags: - git - git-rebase category: 'Server' tumblr_url: http://andywenk.tumblr.com/post/4336419093/git-squashing-commits ---
Moin Moin,
because I can’t fuckin’ remember this cool git feature, I have to write it down shortly.
Let’s say you have some commits made to a specific branch. Firing git log could return something like this:
commit dfc1aa75553b796e94a0927575721f8b1938e53a Author: Andreas WenkDate: Mon Apr 4 11:44:50 2011 fourth line commit 873a784e13b8d333f17ba805260cdd275ec962b2 Author: Andreas Wenk Date: Mon Apr 4 11:44:10 2011 third line commit fe1eb9eab73062256bc1e6131826c8698c090f70 Author: Andreas Wenk Date: Mon Apr 4 11:43:34 2011 second line commit f3ea5367b7c20334b5844b5eabb450374db57501 Author: Andreas Wenk Date: Mon Apr 4 11:43:00 2011 first line
Now these commits are kind of the same and I decide to put some of them into one commit to not flooding the git log history. The command you’re looking for is git rebase -i
The target is to make one commit out of the three newest commits. git-rebase needs one commit point, after which the operations shall be done. So what we write is:git rebase -i e2148eac05The resulting output is:
pick fe1eb9e second line pick 873a784 third line pick dfc1aa7 fourth line # Rebase f3ea536..dfc1aa7 onto f3ea536 # # Commands: # p, pick = use commit # r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message # e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending # s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit # f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message # # If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST. # However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted. #The first thing you should recognize is that the commit history is in reverse order. So the oldest is on top. Now we wanna squash these three commits to one. git-rebase offers some commands you can put in front of each commit line. What we need is s for squash or f for fixup. The commands are slightly different. squash will not discard the commit but meld it into the previous one. Let’s do it:
pick fe1eb9e second line s 873a784 third line s dfc1aa7 fourth line # Rebase f3ea536..dfc1aa7 onto f3ea536 # # Commands: # p, pick = use commit # r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message # e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending # s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit # f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message # # If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST. # However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted. #
Here, we tell git, that the commit fe1eb9e is the one we wanna keep. You could also use another one. After saving this file git is providing another view:
# This is a combination of 3 commits. # The first commit's message is: second line # This is the 2nd commit message: third line # This is the 3rd commit message: fourth line # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # Not currently on any branch. # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD..." to unstage) # # modified: test #
Now, you have the opportunity to change the commit message.  E.g:
# This is a combination of 3 commits. squashing togehter three commits # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # Not currently on any branch. # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD..." to unstage) # # modified: test #
Yeah - very meaningful ;-). Now save the file and git will do the work for you:
$ git rebase -i f3ea5367b7 [detached HEAD a17cc44] squashing togehter three commits 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master.
 So you should think before doing. Especially when pushing the changed commits to an origin master where other people have worked on. Probably you will be told, that the pushing is rejected and you will have to use —force. This can imply damage …
Happy squashing!

Reader Glyn Webster writes to broaden the topic of authorial nicknames (see below, 7th January):
Dr. Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger. His nickname “The Forest of Incandescent Bliss” was given to him by his godfather, the Chinese Nationalist leader Sun Yat Sen; it is a Chinese pun on “Paul Linebarger”. He wrote his sci-fi under the pseudonym “Cordwainer Smith”. Disappointingly “Paul ‘Forest of Incandescent Bliss' Linebarger” never appeared on book covers because he had a respectable day job devising pyschological warfare techniques for the American army:
“While in Korea, Linebarger masterminded the surrender of thousands of Chinese troops who considered it shameful to give up their arms. He drafted leaflets explaining how the soldiers could surrender by shouting the Chinese words for love, duty, humanity, and virtue—words that happened, when pronounced in that order, to sound like I surrender in English. He considered this act to be the single most worthwhile thing he had done in his life.”
“The Forest of Incandescent Bliss” is a marvellous nickname, almost on a par with the title adopted by ex-President Mbuto of Zaire, who, in the 1970s, dubbed himself “The All-Powerful Warrior Who Because Of Endurance And An Inflexible Will To Win, Will Go From Conquest To Conquest Leaving Fire In His Wake”.


Jared Sinclair on taking a full time development job:
I’m happy to say that, starting Monday, I will be joining Bloglovin as Lead iOS Engineer. They’re a smart and fun group of men and women. It will be an honor to be a part of them. I can’t speak publicly about what we’ll be doing together, but I’m excited about it.
Although I’m happy for Jared, this part made me sad:
Due to potential conflicts of interest between Unread and Bloglovin, I won’t be adding new features to either the iPhone or iPad version of Unread. This is by choice on my part. I like to pour myself into my work. I wouldn’t feel right doing it any other way.
I get it, but it’s still disappointing. I was in the middle of attempting to love Unread. Given that it will stay in its current state into perpetuity, that experiment has all but ended.


Install
GrapheneOS has two officially supported installation methods. You can either use the WebUSB-based installer recommended for most users or the command-line installation guide aimed at more technical users.
We strongly recommend using one of the official installation methods. Third party installation guides tend to be out-of-date and often contain misguided advice and errors.
If you have trouble with the installation process, ask for help on the official GrapheneOS chat channel. There are almost always people around willing to help with it. Before asking for help, make an attempt to follow the guide on your own and then ask for help with anything you get stuck on.
The command-line approach offers a way to install GrapheneOS without trusting our server infrastructure. This requires being on an OS with proper fastboot and signify packages along with understanding the process enough to avoid blindly trusting the instructions from our site. For most users, the web-based installation approach is no less secure and avoids needing any software beyond a browser with WebUSB support.

New musical director for Oswestry choir
by Sue AustinCantiones Chamber Choir has appointed Martin Bussey as its new musical director.
Mr Bussey will take over from from January, following Gerry Howe’s retirement at the end of this year.
Martin was a Choral Scholar at King’s College, Cambridge where he studied composition with Robin Holloway and singing with John Carol Case, after which he studied singing at the Royal Northern College of Music with Nicholas Powell.
Choir chairman John Moore said Martin, who he described as a truly exceptional musician, brings with him a wealth of experience as a conductor, composer and educationalist.
As a conductor he has directed the Chester Bach Singers for more than 25 years and will continue to do so as well as undertake the new role with Cantiones and direct The BBC Daily Service Singers.
"He is an experienced and versatile composer with a varied catalogue of works and his latest CD of music, sung by the London-based professional choir, Sonoro, was released this month," Mr Moore said.
The chairman said the choir had been sad to accept the resignation of its long-standing musical director of 18 years, Gerry Howe, who has helped the choir achieve some significant growth and success.
"As well as being the longest serving, MD Gerry has always been willing to listen to suggestions from members of the choir who have musical experience, though quite rightly he makes the final decisions, which we all accept," he added.
"Gerry will remain within the Cantiones family as its rehearsal accompanist and will sing during concerts."
His farewell concert as Musical Director will be the choir’s Christmas Concert on December 21 at 7:30pm at Christ Church, Oswestry.
Tickets £10 , free for under 18s, are available from Rowanthorn, Old Chapel Court, Oswestry.
Cantiones was founded in 1982 by Michael Smith, the then organist of the Parish Church of St. Oswald. It began singing only sacred music but in the mid-nineties its repertoire widened to include more and more of quality secular music.


Ya Allah, give me eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith. Ameen.

Internet and World Wide Web How to Program, 4th edition introduces students with little or no programming experience to the exciting world of Web-based applications. The book has been substantially reworked to
reflect today's Web 2.0 rich Internet application-development methodologies. A comprehensive book that
teaches the fundamentals needed to program on the Internet, this text provides in-depth coverage of introductory programming principles, various markup languages (XHTML, Dynamic HTML and XML), several scripting languages
(JavaScript, PHP and Ruby/Ruby on Rails), Ajax, web services, Web servers (IIS and Apache) and relational databases (MySQL/Apache Derby/Java DB)-all the skills and tools needed to create dynamic Web-based applications. The text contains comprehensive introductions to ASP .NET 2.0 and JavaServer Faces (JSF). Hundreds of live-code examples of real applications throughout the book and on the accompanying CD allow readers to run the applications and see and hear the outputs. The book provides instruction on building Ajax-enabled rich Internet applications that enhance the presentation of online content and give web applications the look and feel of desktop applications. The chapter on Web 2.0 and Internet business exposes readers to a wide range of other topics associated with Web 2.0 applications and businesses. After mastering the material in this book, students will be well prepared to build real-world, industrial-strength, Web-based applications.

According to the WHO, the number of people with diabetes in Africa has jumped from 4 million in 1980 to 25 million in 2014. The disease was responsible for more than 320,000 deaths in 2015.
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says Africa has the highest percentage of undiagnosed people at almost 68 percent.
These people face a higher risk of developing serious and costly complications if diabetes remains undetected.
Likewise, Hypertension is one of the most prevalent non communicable conditions worldwide.
According to the World Health organisation, hypertension is responsible for an estimated 45 percent of deaths due to heart
disease and 51 percent of deaths due to stroke globally. According to WHO’s Global status report on
non communicable, of WHO’s six regions, the African region has the highest prevalence of hypertension
estimated at 46 percent of adults aged 25 and above.
DIATENSION is a website that aims to increase the awareness of two deadly non-communicable diseases that prevail in the Nigerian society - Diabetes and Hypertension.
We hope by increasing the awareness, the Nigerian people will be able to take precautions and
manage these two diseases better by following the right diet and nutrition, staying physically active
and staying away from what may increase complications with Diabetes and Hypertension.
We aim to deliver core programs and services, specifically public education and
information, support services via the internet, printed resources, health educators and outreach
programs, as well as advocacy. We provide Nigeirans with accurate information about their diabetes,
its effects and what people in Nigeria can do to seek treatment and better manage their condition.

I am a PhD student at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information. My work explores how archaeologists share and maintain communal datasets, and how archaeologists collaborate through the use of information systems.
I enjoy tinkering with digital things. Over time I've developed a solid repertoire of skills, particularly relating to database management, network analysis, GIS, basic web development, server administration, and data wrangling using R and Python. I learn as I go, one project at a time.
I also have a keen interest in public perceptions of archaeology, and the representation of archaeology in science fiction, popular media and public policy. This aligns with broader interests in science and technology studies, digital media studies, internet and software studies, among other related fields that interrogate the roles of different kinds of knowledge in our lives.


Nanotechnology Engineering, what's that?
Well... the program focused mostly on materials science, chemistry, physics and also introduced us to concepts in biology and medicine.
I learned a lot about a lot.
Spent 8 months as a visiting scholar working with some of the top scientists in the country. By the time it was over, I was a seasoned researcher and a published author!
Based in Silicon Valley, SpinPunch is a start-up creating a platform for developing awesome in-browser games. I helped design and produce their facebook games played by hundreds of thousands of people.
With a BASc. in Nanotechnology Engineering in hand, I moved to Toronto to start my new adventure. (But, of course, not before travelling for a bit)
Completed a 9 week Web Development bootcamp focusing on both back-end and front-end development. Beyond learning a ton about web development, I also discovered what I was really passionate about - creating awesome web apps.
Also have experience in the following:
Frameworks: Ember.js, React.js
Databases: mySQL, MongoDB

Configuring Data Protection¶
When the data protection system is initialized it applies some default settings based on the operational environment. These settings are generally good for applications running on a single machine. There are some cases where a developer may want to change these (perhaps because his application is spread across multiple machines or for compliance reasons), and for these scenarios the data protection system offers a rich configuration API.
There is an extension method ConfigureDataProtection hanging off of IServiceCollection. This method takes a callback, and the parameter passed to the callback object allows configuration of the system. For instance, to store keys at a UNC share instead of %LOCALAPPDATA% (the default), configure the system as follows:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDataProtection();
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.PersistKeysToFileSystem(new DirectoryInfo(@"\\server\share\directory\"));
});
}
Warning
If you change the key persistence location, the system will no longer automatically encrypt keys at rest since it doesn’t know whether DPAPI is an appropriate encryption mechanism.
You can configure the system to protect keys at rest by calling any of the ProtectKeysWith* configuration APIs. Consider the example below, which stores keys at a UNC share and encrypts those keys at rest with a specific X.509 certificate.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDataProtection();
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.PersistKeysToFileSystem(new DirectoryInfo(@"\\server\share\directory\"));
configure.ProtectKeysWithCertificate("thumbprint");
});
}
See key encryption at rest for more examples and for discussion on the built-in key encryption mechanisms.
To configure the system to use a default key lifetime of 14 days instead of 90 days, consider the following example:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDataProtection();
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.SetDefaultKeyLifetime(TimeSpan.FromDays(14));
});
}
By default the data protection system isolates applications from one another, even if they’re sharing the same physical key repository. This prevents the applications from understanding each other’s protected payloads. To share protected payloads between two different applications, configure the system passing in the same application name for both applications as in the below example:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDataProtection();
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.SetApplicationName("my application");
});
}
Finally, you may have a scenario where you do not want an application to automatically roll keys as they approach expiration. One example of this might be applications set up in a primary / secondary relationship, where only the primary application is responsible for key management concerns, and all secondary applications simply have a read-only view of the key ring. The secondary applications can be configured to treat the key ring as read-only by configuring the system as below:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDataProtection();
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.DisableAutomaticKeyGeneration();
});
}
Per-application isolation¶
When the data protection system is provided by an ASP.NET host, it will automatically isolate applications from one another, even if those applications are running under the same worker process account and are using the same master keying material. This is somewhat similar to the IsolateApps modifier from System.Web’s <machineKey> element.
The isolation mechanism works by considering each application on the local machine as a unique tenant, thus the IDataProtector rooted for any given application automatically includes the application ID as a discriminator. The application’s unique ID comes from one of two places.
- If the application is hosted in IIS, the unique identifier is the application’s configuration path. If an application is deployed in a farm environment, this value should be stable assuming that the IIS environments are configured similarly across all machines in the farm.
- If the application is not hosted in IIS, the unique identifier is the physical path of the application.
The unique identifier is designed to survive resets - both of the individual application and of the machine itself.
This isolation mechanism assumes that the applications are not malicious. A malicious application can always impact any other application running under the same worker process account. In a shared hosting environment where applications are mutually untrusted, the hosting provider should take steps to ensure OS-level isolation between applications, including separating the applications’ underlying key repositories.
If the data protection system is not provided by an ASP.NET host (e.g., if the developer instantiates it himself via the DataProtectionProvider concrete type), application isolation is disabled by default, and all applications backed by the same keying material can share payloads as long as they provide the appropriate purposes. To provide application isolation in this environment, call the SetApplicationName method on the configuration object, see the code sample above.
Changing algorithms¶
The data protection stack allows changing the default algorithm used by newly-generated keys. The simplest way to do this is to call UseCryptographicAlgorithms from the configuration callback, as in the below example.
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.UseCryptographicAlgorithms(new AuthenticatedEncryptionOptions()
{
EncryptionAlgorithm = EncryptionAlgorithm.AES_256_CBC,
ValidationAlgorithm = ValidationAlgorithm.HMACSHA256
});
});
The default EncryptionAlgorithm and ValidationAlgorithm are AES-256-CBC and HMACSHA256, respectively. The default policy can be set by a system administrator via Machine Wide Policy, but an explicit call to UseCryptographicAlgorithms will override the default policy.
Calling UseCryptographicAlgorithms will allow the developer to specify the desired algorithm (from a predefined built-in list), and the developer does not need to worry about the implementation of the algorithm. For instance, in the scenario above the data protection system will attempt to use the CNG implementation of AES if running on Windows, otherwise it will fall back to the managed System.Security.Cryptography.Aes class.
The developer can manually specify an implementation if desired via a call to UseCustomCryptographicAlgorithms, as show in the below examples.
Tip
Changing algorithms does not affect existing keys in the key ring. It only affects newly-generated keys.
Specifying custom managed algorithms¶
To specify custom managed algorithms, create a ManagedAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions instance that points to the implementation types.
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.UseCustomCryptographicAlgorithms(new ManagedAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions()
{
// a type that subclasses SymmetricAlgorithm
EncryptionAlgorithmType = typeof(Aes),
// specified in bits
EncryptionAlgorithmKeySize = 256,
// a type that subclasses KeyedHashAlgorithm
ValidationAlgorithmType = typeof(HMACSHA256)
});
});
Generally the *Type properties must point to concrete, instantiable (via a public parameterless ctor) implementations of SymmetricAlgorithm and KeyedHashAlgorithm, though the system special-cases some values like typeof(Aes) for convenience.
Note
The SymmetricAlgorithm must have a key length of ≥ 128 bits and a block size of ≥ 64 bits, and it must support CBC-mode encryption with PKCS #7 padding. The KeyedHashAlgorithm must have a digest size of >= 128 bits, and it must support keys of length equal to the hash algorithm’s digest length. The KeyedHashAlgorithm is not strictly required to be HMAC.
Specifying custom Windows CNG algorithms¶
To specify a custom Windows CNG algorithm using CBC-mode encryption + HMAC validation, create a CngCbcAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions instance that contains the algorithmic information.
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.UseCustomCryptographicAlgorithms(new CngCbcAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions()
{
// passed to BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider
EncryptionAlgorithm = "AES",
EncryptionAlgorithmProvider = null,
// specified in bits
EncryptionAlgorithmKeySize = 256,
// passed to BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider
HashAlgorithm = "SHA256",
HashAlgorithmProvider = null
});
});
Note
The symmetric block cipher algorithm must have a key length of ≥ 128 bits and a block size of ≥ 64 bits, and it must support CBC-mode encryption with PKCS #7 padding. The hash algorithm must have a digest size of >= 128 bits and must support being opened with the BCRYPT_ALG_HANDLE_HMAC_FLAG flag. The *Provider properties can be set to null to use the default provider for the specified algorithm. See the BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider documentation for more information.
To specify a custom Windows CNG algorithm using Galois/Counter Mode encryption + validation, create a CngGcmAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions instance that contains the algorithmic information.
services.ConfigureDataProtection(configure =>
{
configure.UseCustomCryptographicAlgorithms(new CngGcmAuthenticatedEncryptionOptions()
{
// passed to BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider
EncryptionAlgorithm = "AES",
EncryptionAlgorithmProvider = null,
// specified in bits
EncryptionAlgorithmKeySize = 256
});
});
Note
The symmetric block cipher algorithm must have a key length of ≥ 128 bits and a block size of exactly 128 bits, and it must support GCM encryption. The EncryptionAlgorithmProvider property can be set to null to use the default provider for the specified algorithm. See the BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider documentation for more information.
Specifying other custom algorithms¶
Though not exposed as a first-class API, the data protection system is extensible enough to allow specifying almost any kind of algorithm. For example, it is possible to keep all keys contained within an HSM and to provide a custom implementation of the core encryption and decryption routines. See IAuthenticatedEncryptorConfiguration in the core cryptography extensibility section for more information.


Consider the following examples.
This is the framework in which we would study the second example above, namely the lie-time distribution of light bulbs. Observe that we have parameterized the exponential family of distributions differently from usual. We could equivalently have considered $g_{\lambda}(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$ but the interest is then in estimating $1/\lambda$ (which is the expected value) rather than $\lambda$. Here are two methods.
Method of moments : We observe that $\mu=\mathbf{E}_{\mu}[X_{1}]$, the mean of the distribution (also called population mean). Hence it seems reasonable to take the sample mean $\bar{X}_{n}$ as an estimate. On second thought, we realize that $\mathbf{E}_{\mu}[X_{1}^{2}]=2\mu^{2}$ and hence $\mu=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{E}_{\mu}[X_{1}^{2}]}$. Therefore it also seems reasonable to take the corresponding sample quantity, $T_{n}:=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2n}(X_{1}^{2}+\ldots +X_{n}^{2})}$ as an estimate for $\mu$. One can go further and write $\mu$ in various ways as $\mu=\sqrt{\mbox{Var}_{\mu}(X_{1})}$, $\mu=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{6}\mathbf{E}_{\mu}[X_{1}^{3}]}$ etc. Each such expression motivates an estimate, just by substituting sample moments for population moments.
This is called estimating by the method of moments because we are equating the sample moments to population moments to obtain the estimate.
We can also use other features of the distribution, such as quantiles (we may call this the ''method of quantiles''). In other words, obtain estimates by equating the sample quantiles to population quantiles. For example, the median of $X_{1}$ is $\mu\log 2$, hence a reasonable estimate for $\mu$ is $M_{n}/\log 2$, where $M_{n}$ is a sample median. Alternately, the $25\%$ quantile of $\mbox{Exponential}(1/\mu)$ distribution is $\mu\log(4/3)$ and hence another estimate for $\mu$ is $Q_{n}/\log(4/3)$ where $Q_{n}$ is a $25\%$ sample quantile.
Maximum likelihood method : The joint density of $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ is $$g_{\mu}(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})=\mu^{-n}e^{-\mu(x_{1}+\ldots +x_{n})} \qquad \mbox{ if all }x_{i} > 0$$ (since $X_{i}$ are independent, the joint density is a product). We evaluate the joint density at the observed data values. This is called the likelihood function. In other words, define, $$ L_{X}(\mu) := \mu^{-n}e^{-\frac{1}{\mu}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i} }. $$ Two points: This is the joint density of $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$, evaluated at the observed data. Further, we like to think of it as a function of $\mu$ with $X:=(X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n})$ being fixed.
When $\mu$ is the actual value, then $L_{X}(\mu)$ is the ''likelihood'' of seeing the data that we have actually observed. The maximum likelihood estimate is that value of $\mu$ that maximizes the likelihood function. In our case, by differentiating and setting equal to zero we get, $$ 0 =\frac{d}{d\mu}L_{X}(\mu) = -n\mu^{-n-1}e^{-\frac{1}{\mu}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i} }+\mu^{-n}\left(\frac{1}{\mu^{2} }\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}\right)e^{-\frac{1}{\mu}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i} } $$ which is satisfied when $\mu=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}=\bar{X}_{n}$. To distinguish this from the true value of $\mu$ which is unknown, it is customary to put a hat on the leter $\mu$. We write $\hat{\mu}_{MLE}=\bar{X}_{n}$. We should really verify whether $L(\mu)$ is maximized or minimized (or neither) at this point, but we leave it to you to do the checking (eg., by looking at the second derivative).
Let us see the same methods at work in two more examples.
Method of moments : We observe that $p=\mathbf{E}_{p}[X_{1}]$, the mean of the distribution (also called population mean). Hence, a method of moments estimator would be the sample mean $\bar{X}_{n}$. In this case, $\mathbf{E}_{p}[X_{1}^{2}]=p$ again but we don't get any new estimate because $X_{k}^{2}=X_{k}$ (as $X_{k}$ is $0$ or $1$)
Maximum likelihood method : Now we have a probability mass function instead of density. The joint pmf of of $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ is $f_{p}(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n}=p^{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} }(1-p)^{n-\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} }$ when each $x_{i}$ is $0$ or $1$. The likelihood function is $$ L_{X}(p) := p^{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} }(1-p)^{n-\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} } = p^{n\bar{X}_{n} }(1-p)^{n(1-\bar{X}_{n})}. $$ We need to find the value of $p$ that maximizes $L_{X}(p)$. Here is a trick that almost always simplifies calculations (try it in the previous example too!). Instead of maximizing $L_{X}(p)$, maximize $\ell_{X}(p)=\log L_{X}(p)$ (called the log-likelihood function). Since ''$\log$'' is an increasing function, the maximizer will remain the same. In our case, $$ \ell_{X}(p)=\bar{X}_{n}\log p + n(1-\bar{X}_{n})\log (1-p). $$ Differentiating and setting equal to $0$, we get $\hat{p}_{MLE}=\bar{X}_{n}$. Again the sample mean is the maximum likelihood estimate.
A last example.
Now suppose we have data $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ i.i.d. from $f_{\theta,\alpha}$ where we do not know the values of $\theta$ and $\alpha$. How to estimate the parameters?
Method of moments : We compute $$\begin{align*} \mathbf{E}_{\theta,\alpha}[X_{1}]&=\frac{1}{2\alpha}\int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}te^{-\frac{|t-\theta|}{\alpha} }dt = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}(\alpha s+\theta) e^{-|s|}ds = \theta.\\ \mathbf{E}_{\theta,\alpha}[X_{1}^{2}]&=\frac{1}{2\alpha}\int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}t^{2}e^{-\frac{|t-\theta|}{\alpha} }dt = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}(\alpha s+\theta)^{2} e^{-|s|}ds = 2\alpha^{2}+\theta^{2}. \end{align*}$$ Thus the variance is $\mbox{Var}_{\theta,\alpha}(X_{1})=2\alpha^{2}$. Based on this, we can take the method of moments estimate to be $\hat{\theta}_{n}=\bar{X}_{n}$ (sample mean) and $\hat{\alpha}_{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }s_{n}$ where $s_{n}^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(X_{i}-\bar{X}_{n})^{2}$. At the moment the ideas of defining sample variance as $s_{n}^{2}$ may look strange and it might be more natural to take $V_{n}:=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(X_{i}-\bar{X}_{n})^{2}$ as an estimate for the population variance. As we shall see later, $s_{n}^{2}$ has some desirable properties that $V_{n}$ lacks. Whenever we say sample variance, we mean $s_{n}^{2}$, unless stated otherwise.
Maximum likelihood method : The likelihood function of the data is $$ L_{X}(\theta,\alpha)=\prod\limits_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{2\alpha}\exp\left\{-\frac{|X_{k}-\theta|}{\alpha}\right\}= 2^{-n}\alpha^{-n}\exp\left\{-\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{|X_{k}-\theta|}{\alpha}\right\}. $$ The log-likelihood function is $$\ell_{X}(\theta,\alpha)=\log L(\theta,\alpha)=-n\log 2 - n\log \alpha -\frac{1}{\alpha}\sum_{k=1}^{n}|X_{k}-\theta|.$$ We know that 1 If you do not know here is an argument. Let $x_{1} < x_{2} < \ldots < x_{n}$ be $n$ distinct real numbers and let $a\in \mathbb{R}$. Rewrite $\sum_{k=1}^{n}|x_{k}-a|$ as $(|x_{1}-a|+|x_{n}-a|)+(|x_{2}-a|+|x_{n-1}-a|)+\ldots$. By triangle inequality, we see that $$|x_{1}-a|+|x_{n}-a|\ge x_{n}-x_{1}, |x_{2}-a|+|x_{n-1}-a|\ge x_{n-1}-x_{2}, |x_{3}-a|+|x_{n-2}-a|\ge x_{n-2}-x_{3}\ldots. $$ Further the first inequality is an equality if and only if $x_{1}\le a\le x_{n}$, the second inequality is an equality if and only if $x_{2}\le a\le x_{n-1}$ etc. In particular, if $a$ is a median, then all these inequalities become equalities and shows that a median minimizes the given sum. for fixed $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$, the value of $\sum_{k=1}^{n}|X_{k}-\theta|$ is minimized when $\theta=M_{n}$, the median of $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ (strictly speaking the median may have several choices, all of them are equally good). Thus we fix $\hat{\theta}=M_{n}$ and then we maximize $\ell(\hat{\theta},\alpha)$ over $\alpha$ by differentiating. We get $\hat{\alpha}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n}|X_{k}-\theta|$ (the sample mean-absolute deviation about the median). Thus the MLE of $(\theta,\alpha)$ is $(\hat{\theta},\hat{\alpha})$.
In homeworks and tutorials you will see several other estimation problems which we list in the exercise below.
The following exercise is approachable by the same methods but requires you to think a little.

K
- the type of key, used to group tasks into serial pipelinespublic interface SerializingExecutor<K>
This is useful for establishing serial pipelines, where concurrency is achieved through the use of multiple pipelines. One specific use is for sending events to a listener. So that one slow listener doesn't block others, each can be its own pipeline. All notifications for a listener are then delivered in FIFO order, but a single slow listener doesn't have to stall deliver of notifications to other listeners.

SCENE. A street.
(Enter BENVOLIO and MERCUTIO)
MERCUTIO
Where the devil should this Romeo be?
Came he not home to-night?
BENVOLIO
Not to his father's; I spoke with his man.
MERCUTIO
Ah, that same pale hard-hearted wench, that Rosaline.
Torments him so, that he will sure run mad.
BENVOLIO
Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet,
Hath sent a letter to his father's house.

BENVOLIO
Romeo will answer it.
MERCUTIO
Any man that can write may answer a letter.
BENVOLIO
Nay, he will answer the letter's master, how he
dares, being dared.

BENVOLIO
Why, what is Tybalt?
MERCUTIO
More than prince of cats, I can tell you. O, he is
the courageous captain of compliments. He fights as
you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and
proportion; rests me his minim rest, one, two, and
the third in your bosom: the very butcher of a silk
button, a duellist, a duellist; a gentleman of the
very first house, of the first and second cause:
ah, the immortal passado! the punto reverso! the
hai!
BENVOLIO
The what?
MERCUTIO
The pox of such antic, lisping, affecting
fantasticoes; these new tuners of accents! 'By Jesu,
a very good blade! a very tall man! a very good
whore!' Why, is not this a lamentable thing,
grandsire, that we should be thus afflicted with
these strange flies, these fashion-mongers, these
perdona-mi's, who stand so much on the new form,
that they cannot at ease on the old bench? O, their
bones, their bones!
(Enter ROMEO)
BENVOLIO
Here comes Romeo, here comes Romeo.
MERCUTIO
Without his roe, like a dried herring: flesh, flesh,
how art thou fishified! Now is he for the numbers
that Petrarch flowed in: Laura to his lady was but a
kitchen-wench; marry, she had a better love to
be-rhyme her; Dido a dowdy; Cleopatra a gipsy;
Helen and Hero hildings and harlots; Thisbe a grey
eye or so, but not to the purpose. Signior
Romeo, bon jour! there's a French salutation
to your French slop. You gave us the counterfeit
fairly last night.
ROMEO
Good morrow to you both. What counterfeit did I give you?
MERCUTIO
The ship, sir, the slip; can you not conceive?
ROMEO
Pardon, good Mercutio, my business was great; and in
such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.
MERCUTIO
That's as much as to say, such a case as yours
constrains a man to bow in the hams.
ROMEO
Meaning, to court'sy.
MERCUTIO
Thou hast most kindly hit it.
ROMEO
A most courteous exposition.
MERCUTIO
Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy.
ROMEO
Pink for flower.
MERCUTIO
Right.
ROMEO
Why, then is my pump well flowered.
MERCUTIO
Well said: follow me this jest now till thou hast
worn out thy pump, that when the single sole of it
is worn, the jest may remain after the wearing sole singular.
ROMEO
O single-soled jest, solely singular for the
singleness.
MERCUTIO
Come between us, good Benvolio; my wits faint.
ROMEO
Switch and spurs, switch and spurs; or I'll cry a match.
MERCUTIO
Nay, if thy wits run the wild-goose chase, I have
done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose in one of
thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five:
was I with you there for the goose?
ROMEO
Thou wast never with me for any thing when thou wast
not there for the goose.
MERCUTIO
I will bite thee by the ear for that jest.
ROMEO
Nay, good goose, bite not.
MERCUTIO
Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most
sharp sauce.
ROMEO
And is it not well served in to a sweet goose?
MERCUTIO
O here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an
inch narrow to an ell broad!
ROMEO
I stretch it out for that word 'broad;' which added
to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose.
MERCUTIO
Why, is not this better now than groaning for love?
now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo; now art
thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature:
for this drivelling love is like a great natural,
that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole.
BENVOLIO
Stop there, stop there.
MERCUTIO
Thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair.
BENVOLIO
Thou wouldst else have made thy tale large.
MERCUTIO
O, thou art deceived; I would have made it short:
for I was come to the whole depth of my tale; and
meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
ROMEO
Here's goodly gear!
(Enter Nurse and PETER)
MERCUTIO
A sail, a sail!
BENVOLIO
Two, two; a shirt and a smock.
Nurse
Peter!
PETER
Anon!
Nurse
My fan, Peter.
MERCUTIO
Good Peter, to hide her face; for her fan's the
fairer face.
Nurse
God ye good morrow, gentlemen.
MERCUTIO
God ye good den, fair gentlewoman.
Nurse
Is it good den?
MERCUTIO
'Tis no less, I tell you, for the bawdy hand of the
dial is now upon the prick of noon.

ROMEO
One, gentlewoman, that God hath made for himself to
mar.
Nurse
By my troth, it is well said; 'for himself to mar,'
quoth a'? Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where I
may find the young Romeo?
ROMEO
I can tell you; but young Romeo will be older when
you have found him than he was when you sought him:
I am the youngest of that name, for fault of a worse.
Nurse
You say well.
MERCUTIO
Yea, is the worst well? very well took, i' faith;
wisely, wisely.
Nurse
if you be he, sir, I desire some confidence with
you.
BENVOLIO
She will indite him to some supper.
MERCUTIO
A bawd, a bawd, a bawd! so ho!
ROMEO
What hast thou found?
MERCUTIO
No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie,
that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent.
(Sings)
An old hare hoar,
And an old hare hoar,
Is very good meat in lent
But a hare that is hoar
Is too much for a score,
When it hoars ere it be spent.
Romeo, will you come to your father's? we'll
to dinner, thither.
ROMEO
I will follow you.
MERCUTIO
Farewell, ancient lady; farewell,
(Singing)
'lady, lady, lady.'
(Exeunt MERCUTIO and BENVOLIO)
Nurse
Marry, farewell!
ROMEO
A gentleman, nurse, that loves to hear himself talk,
and will speak more in a minute than he will stand
to in a month.
Nurse
An a' speak any thing against me, I'll take him
down, an a' were lustier than he is, and twenty such
Jacks; and if I cannot, I'll find those that shall.
Scurvy knave! I am none of his flirt-gills; I am
none of his skains-mates. And thou must stand by
too, and suffer every knave to use me at his pleasure?
PETER
I saw no man use you a pleasure; if I had, my weapon
should quickly have been out, I warrant you: I dare
draw as soon as another man, if I see occasion in a
good quarrel, and the law on my side.
Nurse
Now, afore God, I am so vexed, that every part about
me quivers. Scurvy knave! Pray you, sir, a word:
and as I told you, my young lady bade me inquire you
out; what she bade me say, I will keep to myself:
but first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her into
a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross
kind of behavior, as they say: for the gentlewoman
is young; and, therefore, if you should deal double
with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered
to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing.
ROMEO
Nurse, commend me to thy lady and mistress. I
protest unto thee—
Nurse
Good heart, and, i' faith, I will tell her as much:
Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman.
ROMEO
What wilt thou tell her, nurse? thou dost not mark me.
Nurse
I will tell her, sir, that you do protest; which, as
I take it, is a gentlemanlike offer.
ROMEO
Bid her devise
Some means to come to shrift this afternoon;
And there she shall at Friar Laurence' cell
Be shrived and married. Here is for thy pains.
Nurse
No truly sir; not a penny.
ROMEO
Go to; I say you shall.
Nurse
This afternoon, sir? well, she shall be there.
ROMEO
And stay, good nurse, behind the abbey wall:
Within this hour my man shall be with thee
And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair;
Which to the high top-gallant of my joy
Must be my convoy in the secret night.
Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains:
Farewell; commend me to thy mistress.
Nurse
Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir.
ROMEO
What say'st thou, my dear nurse?
Nurse
Is your man secret? Did you ne'er hear say,
Two may keep counsel, putting one away?
ROMEO
I warrant thee, my man's as true as steel.
NURSE
Well, sir; my mistress is the sweetest lady—Lord,
Lord! when 'twas a little prating thing:—O, there
is a nobleman in town, one Paris, that would fain
lay knife aboard; but she, good soul, had as lief
see a toad, a very toad, as see him. I anger her
sometimes and tell her that Paris is the properer
man; but, I'll warrant you, when I say so, she looks
as pale as any clout in the versal world. Doth not
rosemary and Romeo begin both with a letter?
ROMEO
Ay, nurse; what of that? both with an R.
Nurse
Ah. mocker! that's the dog's name; R is for
the—No; I know it begins with some other
letter:—and she hath the prettiest sententious of
it, of you and rosemary, that it would do you good
to hear it.
ROMEO
Commend me to thy lady.
Nurse
Ay, a thousand times.
(Exit Romeo)
Peter!
PETER
Anon!
Nurse
Peter, take my fan, and go before and apace.
(Exeunt)


Latitude vs. Humidity
According to the data that has been collected from the OpenWeatherAPI, definitive bands of relative 'dryness' appear in both hemispheres. While the nothern hemisphere gains moisture content at increasing latitude, the southern hemisphere becomes more arid as you progress away from the equator.
This is likely a seasonal effect witnessed from a January data collection date. Further research could be performed in time-series format on the Latitude/Humidity relationship to view impacts caused by industrialization and deforestation.


Gad Domnit!
Web developers, curse rendering issues no more! Reduce the number of expletives needed when dealing with bug reports by including the exact state of every HTML element in the DOM into a single, inspectable file.
Also useful for a number of other family-friendly uses, including saving any webpage into a single file.
Features
Removes Dependencies All dynamic resources ( |
 |
Computes Style The style of each element is computed and saved, ensuring that content is styled the same when opened.
| DOM | Serialized |
|---|---|

 |

 |
Extendable Domnit is written in modular, object-oriented code. The existing functionality can be easily changed, and new modifications can be added.
Domnit = require "gaddomnit"
ElementSerializer = Domnit.ElementSerializer
count = 0
class DivSerializer extends ElementSerializer
update: ->
super()
this.el.addAttribute "data-count", ++count
class MySerializer extends Domnit
divSerializer: DivSerializer
(Yes, that's a complete example.)
Demonstration
bootstrap.html A demonstration or serialization using components from the Bootstrap library.
codemirror.html A demonstration of using Domnit to debug a rendering issue when using the CodeMirror editor.
Installation
Install gaddomnit
via NPM or directly from RawGit:

The universal
build should work as a standalone script, via RequireJS, or via CommonJS/NPM.
It bundles all of the dependencies, and should work out of the box.
Alternatively, specify -browser
to only get RequireJS syntax, -node
for only CommonJS, or no suffix at all to get
a raw script without any loader.
Add .nolib
immediately after the syntax specification to load dependencies via RequireJS/CommonJS (or browser globals
if you aren't using a module loader).
Usage
// require(["domnit"], function(Domnit) {
// Domnit = require("gaddomnit");
var domnit = new Domnit({});
domnit.serialize(document.body);
// -> "..."
After loading Domnit, create a new Domnit object, optionally passing an object with
configuration options.
Then call Domnit#serialize
with an Element
to
serialize, which returns a standalone string representing the element and all it's children.
See Domnit
class documentation for the full API as well as information on extending Domnit's features.

Although Madeira is a member of the European Union, all boats must contact the authorities on arrival and departure, even if only moving to another harbour in Madeira. At Funchal this is a small office on the end of the outer mole. At Qunta do Lorde, clearance can be completed at the marina office.
Last updated March 2015.
Madeira comes under Portugal's Schengen Area agreement and therefore has similar visa regulations.
See Portugal/Immigration for details.
Last updated March 2015.
Firearms must be declared on arrival.
Duty-free goods in excess of the limits allowed are permitted as long as they remain on board.
EU regulations apply concerning temporary importation. See EU VAT page for more information.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if coming from an infected area.
The Public Health services are very good. 24 hours emergencies at Frunchal Hospital.
A clearance document is issued to all yachts at the port of entry by the Guarda, and must be presented to the authorities when visiting any other island. Even if possessing a transit log from mainland Portugal or the Azores, clearance must still be done on arrival in Madeira. A new transit log may be issued.
The yacht's registration document and passports for all crew are required.
There are no overtime fees as clearance is done in working hours.
All anchorages can be charged a fee by the Port Authority - APRAM and does not include any support services.
Inside Porto Santo Harbour, the mooring fee for the buoys is charged by the marina. This covers the mooring as well as all onshore facilities: water & electricity (if required by the boat, a berth can be booked for a couple of hours just to refill the tanks and charge electricity), and also wireless internet, laundry, shower and toilets.

The uninhabited Ilhas Selvagem are administered from Madeira. They are a wildlife reserve, however access is no longer prohibited and it is now possible to obtain a permit to visit on arrival. The guards on site can now issue permits.
This new policy is much simpler than before, however, the Madeira Natural Park still recommends that yacht should ask for the permit prior to visiting the Islands.
Advance permits can be obtained from the Department of Fisheries at Parque Natural da Madeira, Quinta do Bom Succeso, Caminho do Meio, Funchal. Tel. 22 22 66, Fax. 22 25 89, as well as from the Marina offices at Quinta do Lorde and Porto Santo, free of charge.
There is a new subaquatic & terrestrial natural reservation on Porto Santo Island. The Reservation is located on the East corner (north & south) of the island and includes the sunken vessel "Madeirense" (an artificial reef). Diving is allowed but with limits within the natural reservation. Fishing is not allowed.
Last updated October 2010.
Smart appearance is considered indicative of good character, so dressing appropriately when visiting offices is advisable.
The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is in operation in Madeira and requires all pets to have passport, have been microchipped and have current Health Certificate and Rabies Vaccination Certificate issued by appropriate Veterinary authorities


Idyll is designed for people to use their own custom components as well. Under the hood an Idyll component just needs to be anything that will function as a React component. If you create a custom component in JavaScript, point Idyll to the folder where you created it and everything will just work, no need to worry about compiling, bundling, or module loading.
For example, this custom component
const React = require('react');
class Custom extends IdyllComponent {
render() {
const { hasError, updateProps, ...props } = this.props;
return (
<div {...props}>
This is a custom component
</div>
);
}
}
module.exports = Custom;
could be invoked inside of an Idyll file with the following code:
[Custom /]
Idyll adds an updateProps
method to the components input props.
This function can be called to update variable values and propagate
those changes to the rest of the Idyll document.
For example, a component can change the value of a property that it receives, and Idyll will propagate the change to any bound variables on the page.
const React = require('react');
class Incrementer extends React.Component {
increment() {
this.props.updateProps({
value: this.props.value + 1
})
}
render() {
return (
<div onClick={this.increment.bind(this)}>
Click me.
</div>
);
}
}
module.exports = Incrementer;
The Incrementer
component could then be used as follows:
[var name:"clickCount" value:0 /]
[Incrementer value:clickCount /]
[Display value:clickCount /]
Notice that even thought the Incrementer
component doesn't know
anything about the variable clickCount
, it will still correctly
update.
Components lookup is based on filenames. If your component name
is MyComponent
, it will match files like mycomponent.js
or my-component.js
.
The component filenames are case insensitive.
Custom component are meant for times when more complex and custom
code is needed. By default Idyll will look for your custom components
inside of a folder called components/
. If you wish to change the custom
component path, specify it with the --components
option, e.g.
idyll index.idl --css styles.css --components custom/component/path/
.

Listing to-dos
Standard pattern
Use this when:
- a list of things need to be done
- each thing is assigned to a single user
- each thing links to thing that needs to be done
- completed things are stored and viewed elsewhere
Research notes
People found the layout easy to use and interact with, especially on mobile. It is important you use verbs for the to-do label so people clearly know what to expect. Whilst people positively responded to doing the to-dos in any order, most naturally completed them top to bottom, so it's important to order them logically for your service. If a to-do can be part-completed, an indication of progress is a must.
Alternative pattern
Use this when:
- a list of things need to be done in a single view by multiple users
- each thing is assigned to one or multiple users
- each thing needs to have supporting content
- each thing needs to be completed by a specific date
- completed things are stored and viewed elsewhere

structure of Phenylalanine hydroxylase
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and their sequence in a protein determines the 3-dimensional shape and ultimately the function of that protein. Of the twenty amino acids commonly found in nature, nine are considered to be “essential” in humans, because they cannot be synthesised from other precursors, and therefore must be included in the diet. These essential amino acids are phenylalanine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Even though these amino acids are deemed essential, their relative amounts in the bloodstream must be tightly controlled. For example, with phenylalanine (Phe), the accumulation of Phe can lead to neurological damage, while too rapid a degradation of Phe will lead to the depletion of stores of this essential amino acid and consequently a decrease in protein synthesis. Enzymes control the levels of amino acids in the bloodstream, which can fluctuate widely due to dietary intake. In the case of Phe, the degradative enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is the major enzyme for Phe disposal, and is responsible for serum Phe levels.
Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PheH; EC <IP_ADDRESS>) is an iron-dependent, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-dependent monooxygenase that catalyses the rate limiting step in the catabolism of Phe. PheH converts Phe into tyrosine (Tyr) by hydroxylating Phe, using BH4 as a reductant:
|
|
PheH |
|
||
|
L‑phenylalanine |
+ BH4 + O2 |
ŕ |
L‑tyrosine |
+ 4a‑hydroxy‑BH4 |
PheH is abundant in the liver, where it acts as a monooxygenase, incorporating one molecule of oxygen into the amino acid substrate, while the other oxygen atom is reduced to water using BH4 as the reductant.
PheH occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. In mammals, PheH occurs as homodimers and active homotetramers in equilibrium. Each monomer polypeptide is composed of three domains: an N-terminal regulatory domain that contains an autoregulatory sequence (ARS) at the N-terminus, a central catalytic core, and a short C-terminal tetramerisation domain that contains an a-helix used to interlock the monomers. The catalytic core contains a hydrophobic “cage” that surrounds the aromatic, hydrophobic Phe substrate. The N-terminal ARS physically blocks the entrance to the active site, and may control access of both substrate and cofactors. The ARS may also interact with Phe substrate, BH4 cofactor and catecholamine inhibitors to regulate PheH activation.
In bacteria, PheH occurs as a monomer, consisting of only a single domain – the catalytic core. There is no regulatory domain present, and consequently no evidence of allosteric activation. In bacteria, Phe is not an essential amino acid, but is synthesised.
PheH controls the rate of Phe catabolism, and indirectly the rate of protein and neurotransmitter biosynthesis. In addition, the metabolites of Phe degradation are toxic to the developing brain; therefore, PheH must be under strict regulatory control in eukaryotes, despite fluctuations in dietary intake. PheH is regulated in three main ways: BH4 cofactor inhibition, substrate activation, and phosphorylation.
In addition to being an essential co-substrate for catalysis, the BH4 cofactor helps regulate the enzyme. The binding of the BH4 cofactor at the active site results in a PheH‑BH4 complex that inhibits both substrate activation by Phe and phosphorylation of the enzyme, possibly by pulling the ARS region further into the active site to block it. Furthermore, BH4 may be important for enzyme stability, shielding the active site against damage by reactive oxygen species.
Activation by its substrate, Phe, is a reversible process that involves all subunits of the tetramer. Phe can bind at two sites, the active site where it undergoes hydroxylation, and an allosteric site where it regulates PheH activation. The binding of Phe induces both local and global conformational changes in the enzyme, which displace the BH4 cofactor bound at the active site. The displacement of the BH4 cofactor releases its interaction with the ARS, which displaces the ARS from the active site as well as exposing it to phosphorylation.
Phosphorylation of PheH by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) involves a single serine residue, Ser16, in the N-terminal ARS region. Phosphorylation of Ser16 induces a conformational change in the ARS region and in the Phe-binding region of the active site. These conformational changes permit greater accessibility of Phe to the active site by displacing the ARS, as well as increasing the binding affinity of the active site for Phe. In this way, phosphorylation acts as a conformational switch that facilitates Phe-driven PheH activation. The activation of PheH is a cooperative process, where the subsequent binding of Phe serves to increase the rate of PheH phosphorylation, driving the activation of the enzyme. By contrast, the binding of the BH4 cofactor inhibits phosphorylation.

Meet the Nomads
Kaitlyn Reed and Taylor McKnight travel the world for a living. They have spent so much time in so many places that they now count the number of countries they’ve called “home” in dozens. And while on the road, they run two successful businesses.
Taylor founded Sched, a scheduling app which has been used by festivals like Comic-Con and Lollapalooza, and Kaitlyn founded Workcation Club, a truly nomadic business that creates custom nomad-like retreats for teams. Kaitlyn and Taylor are living the dream. Kaitlyn and Taylor are Digital Nomads. Don’t be jealous.
As part of a rare but growing breed, they don’t work like most people. They earn their money and choose to live where they want, out of a carry-on bag, and flit regularly around the world. Their Instagram feeds are amazing. They fill their life with experiences, not things.
It sounds too good to be true. Spoiler: it isn’t. But the Digital Nomadic lifestyle is not without complications. Welcome to a way of working where money, time and work all break step with each other.
The dream
Maybe you’ve felt a deep, tart pang - a feeling that couples confusion, frustration, bewilderment and helplessness. A feeling of having slipped in time. A feeling that the world has moved forward, but you, and most of the people you know, are trapped in the tar of the past.
And it all boils down to this: deep down, the idea of millions of people trudging into an office five days a week simply feels wrong in 2017.
 We don’t need to work 40 hours a week, but we do. We don’t need to sit in an office for that same 40 hours, but most do. It’s madness. We just want a compromise. We can make our money and take our choice.
But plenty of people now also go for the extreme approach. They step out of the system, often for good. These are the digital nomads, and they’re richer than you. But not necessarily how you think.
The fever dream
The Digital Nomadic life is part lifestyle choice, and part adventure. For Kaitlyn and Taylor, it began by happy accident, five years ago:
Taylor and Kaitlyn are happily riding a wave they boarded by happenstance, and making the most of it: Kaitlyn’s company organises Workcations - which are exactly what they sound like, but more fun - and are also an opportunity for people to try out the Digital Nomad life for a week or so.
For others, part of the lifestyle is breathless advocation of itself. Online, the word “cult” regularly crops up in fascinating proximity to the phrase “digital nomad”, and it can sometimes feel like a fair comparison when you read the writings of some digital nomads. For the ultra-devoted, their belief system is a cross between the clear-eyed enthusiasm of a Transcendental Meditation devotee, and a member of Opus Dei, self-flagellating to get closer to their God, the ideal work-life balance.
(One devotee calls it the “Riskiest Thing You Can Do,” which may come as a surprise to firefighters, underwater-welders, lion-tamers, and astronauts.)
But really, calling Digital Nomadism a "cult" is not only unfair, it's to miss the point.
Digital Nomadism emerged for a thousand reasons, many of them deeply personal and individual, but looming large near to the whole concept is the book The Four Hour Work Week”, which divides opinion among the Nomad community.
The book’s author Tim Ferris has been described as both, "a god to bros who dream of fashioning themselves into blisteringly efficient Web 2.0 business robots just like him” and someone who “just may have saved my life.”
The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle. If you boil Tim’s teachings down to a couple of broad ideas, they are reasonable-sounding recalibrations for people wondering whether there’s more to life than the late-capitalist-grind pattern of schooling-grafting-retiring-dying.
Tim’s big idea is essentially a call-to-action for digital nomads: if you were a millionaire, how would you live? Most people would respond, “to see the world” - and Tim’s answer is: do it - by rejecting the old time=money equation, figuring out what you want, and regaining time by automating various work processes.
Then you, one of whom Ferris terms “the new rich,” can spend that time living your dream life.
It sounds great. One digital nomad says that it is, indeed, great: it’s just that “the price of overwhelming freedom is often my isolation,” which sounds kind of… bad.
The challenge
Digital Nomadism is enabled by, and relies hard upon, technology and the ease of connectivity and communication that comes with it. You just need your laptop, your brain, and a ton of apps that allow you to IM and collaborate with other people who are also working on whatever you are working on.
It gives the impression of ultra-connectedness: I can chat to my team, my investors, or my mum any time I like. It’s almost better than if I was physically there!
Or is it? Stories charting Nomads’ creeping loneliness appear on /r/digitalnomad, some expressing surprise that while they feel more connected than ever, the lack of physical proximity to loved ones, or close friends, or just people with the same niche interests, is an emotional gut-punch they did not expect.
Taylor agrees that the compromise is real:
Disconnecting from a steady but slightly stagnant social world (the same old friendship circle that frequents the same old bars, shops and plazas) in exchange for an exciting, ever-changing one is, it turns out, a case of exchanging one set of fears for another: swapping the fear of tedium for that of isolation. It’s how you deal with them that matters.
After travelling while working for so long, Kaitlyn has a deep understanding of the importance of real contact and made this a key part of her business: “Finally meet your workmates… jokes are funnier IRL than in Slack!”
Be careful what you wish for
The digital nomad life is appealing when viewed from afar: you work less, achieve the same, and money becomes a less important part of life - meanwhile, you get to start to live the life you really want. Of course, it doesn’t always work like that.
One digital nomad, Clayton Cornell, describes the “The 4-hour Workweek letdown: a feeling of unhappiness and discomfort, especially following the realization that getting what you want in life will require hard work.”
Digital Nomads generally share one big thing in common: at some point, they all made the huge decision to zig while everyone else was zagging, quit what they were doing to travel the world, and try and make money doing it.
Huge decisions carry risk. And they’re not always the risks you think. The unintended consequences of burning a bridge are also, with the fulness of time, the intended consequence: you only know how you feel about burning the bridge to your old life after you’ve burnt it.
That’s not a reason to not burn the bridge. But there’s only one way to find out. This too is part of the allure, and maybe it’s the same reason many nomads also want to start their own business: do something else that’s characterised by huge risk and chance of failure.
The ability to become a nomad raises some moral considerations. Documentary maker Do You-jin, who spoke to many nomads in South-East Asia, made a pointed observation: “Maybe this location-independent lifestyle is only for privileged people from well-developed countries who have amazing passports.”
Hopefully, being a Digital Nomad fosters humility and awareness of privilege among its participants too.
The sweet spot
Kaitlyn and Taylor dodge the loneliness part by being a happy couple, relying on the strength of their relationship wherever they happen to be at that point in time.
For them, how they accept and address the challenges of constantly starting anew defines their experience - and their life. For them, the trade-off works - but it is real:
But it’s not for everyone. Taylor and Kaitlyn are exceptions, insomuch as they stay on the road and fulfil most of their needs. It helps that they treat nomadic life with the transient mentality it demands:
And they’re able to see non-nomads’ envy for what it really is:
The new balance
Digital Nomad life is not the solution for everyone. But it waves a vague finger towards the future of work for the rest of us: one where we call the shots more, recalibrate how we consider wealth, and feel confident enough to simply be us. It’s a powerful, and tantalisingly achievable dream.
Taylor has lived the “daydream” Nomad life long enough to see a realistic glimpse of our work future:
If being a Digital Nomad is the extreme on one side of the work equation, then working full-time in an office is the other extreme. And yet most of us do the latter. But just being able to work less - and from home a bit more - would be life-changing for most people: not all of us can or want to set up complex Customer Marketing Funnels whilst bobbing on a lilo in Thailand.
Perhaps the biggest questions that Digital Nomad life poses for the majority is: why are you spending most of your waking time at the extreme? Can you free yourself, just a bit?


Mike's Mets Player Review Series: Steven Matz
by Mike PhillipsNow that the 2019 season is over for the New York Mets, we have been looking back at the year that was. After taking a more general view of the offense, pitching, and coaching staff, it’s time to take a deeper dive into the Mets’ players. This series will take a look at every player on the roster for the Mets at the end of season from A (Pete Alonso) to Z (Daniel Zamora). The review will look at their season statistics, stories, and what role (if any) they will have next season. We continue the series today with a look at starting pitcher Steven Matz.
Player Review: Steven Matz
Sep 28, 2019; New York City, NY, USA; New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (32) pitches against the Atlanta Braves during the first inning at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
2019 Stats: 32 Appearances, 30 Starts, 160.1 Innings Pitched, 11-10 Won-Loss Record, 4.21 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 1 Complete Game, 1 Shutout, 153:52 K:BB Ratio
Story: After a solid finish to 2018, the Mets had high hopes for Steven Matz to take a leap forward in 2019. Matz got off to a hot start, but he dealt with a few lingering issues, including a penchant for getting into trouble in the first inning. The Mets tried something radical right before the All Star Break, putting Matz into the bullpen in order to get him to refocus before the second half. The move paid off as Matz was able to eliminate the first inning woes, and he pitched to a 3.52 ERA in the second half after working to a 4.89 mark in the first half. The highlight of Matz’s season came on July 27, when he tossed his first career shutout at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Grade: B-
Matz was inconsistent once again, but his strong second half again provides hope for a bigger leap forward in 2020.
Contract Status: Arbitration Eligible (Second Time)
Odds of Returning: 100%
2020 Role: Fourth Starter
Matz will be back in 2020, and getting him figured out will be a big key for the Mets’ new coaching staff. One area that could definitely use work is Matz’s ability to pitch away from home. Matz was 3-8 with a 6.62 ERA away from Citi Field, and fixing that should go a long way towards improving his consistency.
Check back tomorrow as our Player Review Series continues with a look at relief pitcher Chris Mazza!
