Thank for your answer :)
If so, I cannot understand that <http://gki.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/teaching/ws1415/csp/csp11.pdf> "ECLiPSe Integers can be as large as fits into memory, e.g.: 123 0 -27<PHONE_NUMBER>81724" , but Wikipedia says <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECLiPSe> that:
ECLiPSe interfaces to external solvers, in particular the Gecode solver library
How just an interface can be able to have numbers bigger than underlying library?

Hi, unfortunately there is no support for this. We know that this is high on the wish list of many but… I think somebody has tried, if I recall correctly, though. Guido, do you have any details.
Cheers

Subject: [gecode-users] Arbitrary big numbers?
Hello. I am modeling algorithm to hardware mapping with Gecode. Standard Int::Limits::max is too small because I want to target systems with more than 2^31 memory.
Is there a way to get use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic with Gecode or at least 64-bits integers?
I know that Gecode can be built with MPIR or GMP support, but seems those are just for trigonometric operations?
Thanks in advance :)

'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' trailer: Ajay Devgn and Kajol's chemistry is unmissable
by TIMESOFINDIA.COMThe much-awaited trailer of Ajay Devgn starrer 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' is out and it is outstanding! Ajay Devgn shines out as the unsung Maratha warrior- Tanhaji Malusare and Kajol looks spectacular as his wife Savitribai Malusare.
The three minute twenty-one seconds long trailer gives us a gist of the popular battle of Sinhagad aka Kondhana. Ajay's honest attempt to play the brave Tanhaji, Kajol's promising stint and Saif's ferocious avatar is something to watch out for in the film. The grandeur of the film, definitely speak volumes about the Maratha empire and its glory.
These screenshots of Ajay and Kajol showcase their power-packed act and amazing onscreen chemistry as Tanhaji and Savitribai. Kajol's look in a traditional Marathi avatar while Ajay's avatar as a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'mawala' (Maratha soldier) is just unmissable.
Check out the pics:
When one thinks of Maratha warriors, they think of Shivaji and his brave 'mawlas' (soldiers). Among the other soldiers, one who was very close to Shivaji was Tanhaji Malusare who fought like a lion and sacrificed his life for Swarajya during the battle of Sinhagad. Saif Ali Khan will be seen playing antagonist Uday Bhan, a Rajput official working for Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
The movie will hit big screens next year on January 10.

The Diffusion Equation (Part 2)
Introduction
Source code for this post can be found here.
In my post from a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that there are two major ways that we normally use to get an analytical solution for the diffusion equation. You can use the method of separation of variables (which I might cover in a future post) or you can use the Laplace transform. We took the Laplace transform of the diffusion equation and went through a lot of math. At the end of the day, we got an interesting little expression for how a concentrated number of particles diffuses in a system.
\[\begin{equation} \phi(x,t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi Dt}} e^{-x^2/(4Dt)} \end{equation}\]In the equation above, \(x\) is position in one dimension, \(D\) is the diffusivity coefficient, and \(t\) is time. Let’s take a moment to visualize this equation. Then, we can expand it to cover any arbitrary particle distribution.
Dirac Delta Function Number Density
The equation above describes how an initial particle distribution that is concentrated at the origin would evolve as a function of time. Notice that at time \(t=0\), the concentration of particles follows a Dirac Delta function - the density of particle is zero everywhere except for the origin. At the origin itself, the density of particles is infinitely large due to the variable \(t\) in the denominator of the equation. As time evolves, the number density of particles is described by a normal distribution that grows ever wider - this means that the particles are spreading out in space, as we would expect.
Play around with the file called diffusion.m to see the evolution of a concentrated number density of particles as a function of time. Notice that I do not start the simulation exactly at time \(t=0\), but rather just slightly afterwards. This is just to keep the graphs looking nice (it is hard to plot infinity).
You can generate nice plots that show the number density of particles in a position vs. time:
Or you can crank up the diffusivity coefficient (D) and watch the particles really move!
In the graphs above, the horizontal axis is position while the vertical axis is particle number density. Everything is labeled nicely in the Matlab program (including axes).
Convolutions
A single Dirac Delta peak is fine, but we really need a way to visualize the diffusion of any arbitrary density of particles. For example, what if I dump a bunch of dye into a bucket of water? That is certainly not a single point of dye diffusing as a nice, neat Gaussian distribution. Let’s return to the derivation from last week and look at the third to the last line. I wrote the following expression:
\[\begin{equation} \phi(x,t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi Dt}} e^{-|x - \alpha|^2/(4Dt)} \phi(\alpha, 0) d\alpha \end{equation}\]Let’s begin our analysis of this expression by renaming one term within the integral. I am going to call the exponential term the heat kernel (it is studied a lot in heat transfer problems). It will be represented by:
\[\begin{equation} K(x-\alpha, t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi Dt}} e^{-|x - \alpha|^2/(4Dt)} \end{equation}\]The heat kernel is a function of position (\(x - \alpha\)) and time (\(t\)). You might notice that it is simply the expression that we analyzed in the previous section. The only difference is that the extra \(\alpha\) in the expression simply shifts the bell curve left or right along the axis (as you can see in the following plot).
We can rewrite the integral as:
\[\begin{equation} \phi(x,t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty K(x-\alpha, t) \phi(\alpha, 0) d\alpha \end{equation}\]This is interesting…
The integral itself is in terms of \(\alpha\); the time \(t\) is just along for the ride. The expression \(\phi(\alpha, 0)\) gives the number density at some position in space \(\alpha\) at the time \(t=0\). Let’s just fix the time \(t\) as a constant for a moment since it does not affect the actual integration. Then:
\[\begin{equation} \phi(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty K(x-\alpha) \phi(\alpha) d\alpha \end{equation}\]Anybody who has studied the theory behind signal processing might immediately recognize that formula. That is a convolution! A convolution basically tells you the amount of overlap between one function as you move it over another (take a look at the great animations on Wolfram Mathworld from the link above).
So what are we saying here? We know how a particle density concentrated on a single point would evolve in time (the example of the Dirac Delta function). So, if you want analyze any arbitrary particle density function, break it up into lots of little points, analyze each little point as if it were a Dirac Delta function, and then add all of those final analyses together. This can be done by using a convolution.
We can write the general expression for the number density of particles at any given position and any given time as a convolution:
\[\begin{equation} \phi(x,t) = K(x, t) \ast \phi(x, 0) \end{equation}\]Conclusion
Convolutions and kernels don’t often appear until more advanced physics classes, but the concept behind these seemingly complex mathematical strucutres is very simple. Since we cannot analyze all of space at once, we can cut it up into tiny pieces, analyze each piece individually, and then add all of the calculations back together.
Until next week!


#include <math_ops.h>
Computes the minimum along segments of a tensor.
Read the section on segmentation for an explanation of segments.
This operator is similar to the unsorted segment sum operator found (here). Instead of computing the sum over segments, it computes the minimum such that:
\(output_i = {j...} data_[j...]\) where min is over tuples j...
such that segment_ids[j...] == i
.
If the minimum is empty for a given segment ID i
, it outputs the largest possible value for the specific numeric type, output[i] = numeric_limits
.
If the given segment ID i
is negative, then the corresponding value is dropped, and will not be included in the result.
Arguments:

1 Again the Israelite people did evil, and Yahweh saw what they had done. So Yahweh helped the Philistines to conquer them. They ruled over the Israelites for forty years.
2 There was a man named Manoah from the family of Dan who lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and so she had not given birth.
3 One day, the angel of Yahweh appeared to Manoah's wife and said to her, "Even though you have not been able to give birth to any children until now, you will soon become pregnant and you will give birth to a son.
4 From now until he is born, you must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and you must not eat any food that the law says we should not eat.
5 Take care, because you will become pregnant. After you give birth to your son, no one must ever cut his hair. He will be dedicated to God even before he is born until the day he dies. He is the one who will rescue the Israelite people from the Philistines."
6 The woman ran and told her husband, "A man whom God sent came to me. I was very afraid of him, because he was like an angel from God. I did not ask where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
7 But he told me, 'You have become pregnant, and you will give birth to a son. Until then, you must not drink any wine or any alcoholic drink, and you must not eat any food that the law says you are not to eat; it would be unacceptable to God for you to eat it. Your son will be dedicated to God even before he is born, and until the day he dies.'"
8 Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh, saying, "O Lord, I plead with you, allow that man whom you sent to us to come again and teach us how we should raise the boy who will be born to us."
9 God did what Manoah asked, and his angel came to the woman again. This time she was out in the field. But again her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 So she quickly ran and said to her husband, "The man who appeared to me a few days ago has come back again!"
11 Manoah ran back with his wife and asked him, "Are you the man who talked with my wife a few days ago?" He replied, "Yes I am."
12 Manoah asked him, "When what you promised occurs and my wife gives birth to a son, what rules will there be for the child, and what work will he do when he grows up?"
13 Yahweh's angel replied, "Your wife must obey all the instructions I gave her.
14 Before the baby is born, she must not eat grapes, drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, or eat anything that the law says we should not eat."
15 Then Manoah said, "Please stay here until we can kill and cook a young goat for you."
16 Yahweh's angel replied, "I will stay here, but I will not eat anything. However, you may kill an animal and sacrifice it as a burned offering to Yahweh." But Manoah did not yet realize that this was Yahweh's angel.
17 Then Manoah asked him, "What is your name? When what you have promised happens, we want to honor you."
18 Yahweh's angel replied, "Why do you ask me my name? It is too marvelous."
19 Then Manoah killed a young goat and burned it on a rock, along with a grain offering, as a sacrifice to Yahweh. Then Yahweh did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
20 When the flames went up from the altar toward the sky, Yahweh's angel went up in the flame from the altar. Manoah and his wife saw that and lay facedown on the ground.
21 Although Yahweh's angel did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized who this person really was.
22 So Manoah said, "Now we are sure to die, because we have seen God!"
23 But his wife said, "No, I do not think so. If Yahweh intended to kill us, he would not have accepted the burned offering and the grain offering. And he would not have appeared to us and told us the wonderful thing that would happen to us, and he would not have performed this miracle."
24 When their son was born, they named him Samson. Yahweh blessed him as he grew up.
25 While he was in Mahanehdan, which is between the towns of Zorah and Eshtaol, Yahweh's Spirit began to control him.

SCHEMA
A schema is the outline of the database and how all of the data is stored in the database. For example, the database that we can see below is composed of two tables, states
and regions
. Each table has fields (columns) with a name and datatype, i.e id smallint
CREATE TABLE states(id smallint, state_name varchar(30), population_density float, population int, region_id smallint); CREATE TABLE regions(id smallint, region_name varchar(255));
and records (rows)
id state_name population_density population region_id ---------- ---------- ------------------ ---------- ---------- 1 Alabama 96.45 4822023 5 2 Alaska 1.1111 731449 10 3 Arizona 57.05 6553255 8 ...
Every time we ask for impormation from the database, its called a query. The first example above, our query was about the schema, and the second example was about what did table states
contain.
SELECT/FROM COMMANDS
To perform a query, we use the SELECT
and FROM
commands. This selects the fields from the table that you want.
SELECT state_name, population FROM states;
The above query (question) asks the database to return all of the states and their respective populations from the table named states
. The result is shown below (result truncated to conserve space).
state_name population ---------- ---------- Alabama 4822023 Alaska 731449 Arizona 6553255 Arkansas 2949131 California 38041430 ...
FILTERING COMMANDS
When we perform queries, we rarely want all of the data that is in the database. Instead, we are asking precise questions about the data, and we can use filtering techniques for that. The first technique is to filter by a specific value. For example, if we want to know how many states are from the region 7, we would filter as follows:
SELECT state_name FROM states WHERE region_id = 7;
That would result in the following output:
state_name ---------- Arkansas Louisiana Oklahoma Texas
Or if we want to know which states have a population of 1 to 1.5 million people, we would perform the following query:
SELECT state_name FROM states WHERE population > 1000000 AND population < 1500000;
That results in the following output:
state_name population ---------- ---------- Hawaii 1392313 Maine 1329192 Montana 1005141 New Hampsh 1320718 Rhode Isla 1050292
WILDCARD
When analyzing data from databases, we want to draw conclusions, and the methods above might be too broad to capture the question that we want to ask. That is were the wildcard (%) symbol comes into play. We can ask more refined questions like include all that match this pattern, or select only those that meet this character. Its another layer of filtering the data, used as a logical operator for characters just like ranges are used for numerical data. Example, if we need to know which regions have "Central" in their name, we would perform this query:
SELECT region_name FROM regions WHERE region_name LIKE "%Central";
Resulting in this:
region_name ------------------ East North Central East South Central West North Central West South Central
The wildcard symbol MUST be placed on the side of the character that we want to auto-complete. That is, if we use the % sign on the left, like the above, the result will only be of data that end in the word "Central", but if we had "%Central%"
, then it would return any records that have the word central in them. We can also use the underscore (_) to look for one character difference like the following example:
SELECT state_name FROM states where state_name like "_ew%";
Resulting in:
state_name ------------- New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York
The "_ew%"
looks for two things, one character wildcard to the left of the "ew" letters, and zero to many characters wildcard to the right of the "ew" letters.

Man gets jail after showing off a knife in Hamilton store
The serial offender was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court.
by Hamilton Advertiser, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/hamilton-advertiser/A serial offender who showed off a knife in a Hamilton store has been sent to prison for 16 months.
William McInulty revealed the blade when he stripped to the waist after he heard staff talking about him.
McInulty, 28, a prisoner, was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday.
He admitted having a knife at B&M Bargains in Douglas Park Retail Park on September 12.
McInulty also admitted resisting arrest, shouting abuse and making threats.
Scott King, prosecuting, said staff were warned in a phone call from a neighbouring store that the accused had entered B&M Bargains and might have a knife.
Mr King explained: “McInulty appeared to overhear this conversation. He took off his jacket and t-shirt, exposing a knife that had been concealed in the waistband of his trousers.
“Staff pressed the panic button immediately and a member of the public also contacted the police.
“Officers arrived and approached the accused from different areas of the store.
“He was arrested and began to resist and tried to break free. Five officers were involved.
“He was searched and a kitchen knife with a six-inch blade was seized.

Solicitor Jackson Bateman said his client has mental health difficulties and was at a “particularly low point” at the time.
Mr Bateman added: “There was an issue with homelessness and he was misusing heroin and valium.”
Sheriff Thomas Millar noted that the accused was jailed for four years in 2014 for assault and robbery involving a knife.
The sheriff told him: “There has been further offending since and you have been put under supervision and given a restriction of liberty order, measures which are designed to prevent further offending.
“You are clearly a person who is not averse to using a knife.
“This must have been a very frightening experience for those in the shop.”


There are heaps of opinions floating round about which ORM is fastest. I’ve recently been working on improving the performance of a long running sync of a large data set back ended into SQL. During this process there has been a lot of talk about whether Entity Framework was the correct tool for the job and many sites on the net would imply perhaps it isn’t the best tool for batch processing. So I decided to do some tests of my own to find out how much slower Entity Framework actually is.
Method
During the process of performance tuning on my application and testing out different ORMs I learned a lot about how to get the best performance and when to use specific optimisation. I decided it would also be useful to compare different performance tuning options in my test.
To do this testing I built a test rig to accurately compare the different frameworks and tuning options. The test framework pairs up technology implementations (eg EntityFramework <IP_ADDRESS> Beta) with performance scenarios (eg bulk insert of random data), I call this a run.
To make the results as fair and unbiased as possible the rig was built with the following principals.
- The test database is rebuilt for each run, this means that the state of the database is identical for each run.
- The order of technology implementations is random, this is to avoid specific runs having an advantage because they come first or last within the test execution.
- Runs are repeated, the results of a scenario should be reproducible.
- The worst instance for each run is discarded so that external influences on the run are ignored
- Each scenario was run against different numbers of items, in this post I’ve used the following 1,10,100,1000,10000 items.
- At the end of each run the database state is asserted to confirm that the operations expected were performed
- Random data is used to ensure that there is no data bias between technologies
- The same random data is used for each technology in a specific iteration of a scenario so that results are based on the same data set.
All code for the tests are published at https://github.com/lukemcgregor/StaticVoid.OrmPerformance and I would appreciate review of the individual test cases. If you have additional tests, ORMs, or performance improvements I would encourage you to fork the repository and add your tests. That way I can merge them back into the trunk.
Tests
I decided to test the following database technologies and tuning options:
- EntityFramework 4.1
- Basic Configuration (No optimisations)
- AutoDetectChanges Disabled
- My Best effort at making it go fast
- EntityFramework 5.0 beta1

I find these results absolutely intriguing, what these show is that it actually isn’t very clear which ORM is faster here, its absolutely relative to your target workload, more specifically to the size and type of your operations.
The data which I have used to compile these results can be found in its raw form and with the graphs here.
Entity Framework 5 with a Small Number of Items
One of the really interesting points which I’ve noticed from my results is that over small numbers of items Entity Framework is the fastest in all tests. This is of critical importance when picking an ORM. What this means is that if you have an application such as a website which is performing a bunch of small requests to your database to render your page Entity Framework 5 is going to be really quick (so long as you follow a few pointers on how to set up your context).
Deleting Data
Dapper and a decent hand crafted query is amazing at deleting data. For this test I used a handcrafted delete where in SQL query. The bonus of doing this is that the whole query is executed in a single SQL statement so will run much faster inside SQL. If your application involves a lot of batch deletes you should seriously consider handcrafting your query with something like Dapper.
Entity Framework 4 vs Entity Framework 5
I find the comparison of the two versions of entity framework very interesting. If you look at the line graphs what you see is that for small numbers of items Entity Framework 5 is a lot quicker, but what I find very interesting is that as the number of items increase the two versions converge on the same amounts of time across the board. This suggests to me that the ADO.Net team has spent a lot of time optimising Entity Framework for small data sets, and have done a great job.
Bulk Selects with Small Numbers of Items
When doing a select where statement with a small number of matches both Entity Framework 5 and Dapper show a very interesting result, it actually takes longer to perform the query for less items. I have done a lot of runs through and this behavior seems to be repeated every time. Its also important to note here that each of these queries are performed on their own database. I have no idea why this is but I would love to know if someone has any insight on this particular behavior.
Inserts and Updates
If your application is mostly performing inserts and updates Entity Framework seems to be quite a bit faster than Dapper. My feeling is that this is probably because Entity Framework performs some optimisation before sending the data to the database. Perhaps someone better with dapper than I could improve Dapper’s performance in this area, however I currently don’t have any idea how to do this.
EDIT: With the help of Sam Saffron, one of the authors of Dapper we were able to improve the performance of the dapper Insert and Update test cases to below that of Entity Framework. This was achieved by putting the Dapper commands inside a SQL Transaction (see here for the actual code). I’m intending on following this up with another post soon.
Selects
If your application is mostly selects Dapper and Linq to SQL are particularly fast for large numbers of items (but again Entity Framework 5 is faster with small numbers of items). My feeling is that this is because Entity framework (even with tracking off) does quite a lot of fiddling with the data after its retrieved from the server.
General Performance Comparison
With the exception of the delete case, even at large numbers the difference in performance between the different ORMs is not (in my opinion) particularly high. In some cases Entity Framework takes half as much time again over Dapper and in some cases this is reversed. Having said that all of the ORMs are performing within the same orders of magnitude (assuming sensible settings). What this means is that you are unlikely to get enormous performance gains from simply switching ORMs.
EDIT: With the improvement of the Dapper Insert and Update cases Dapper stands out in terms of performance for batch jobs with Entity Framework taking between 126% and 235% of the time that Dapper does. However Entity Framework 5 still appears to be faster in all cases for a small number of items.
Conclusions/TLDR
If you are picking an ORM to use and want to pick based on performance alone the choice is not entirely simple. For batch based application Dapper is clearly faster. But for user applications which involve a queries involving only a small number of items (ie selects returning under 1000 results) and inserts/updates affecting any number of entities, Entity Framework is clearly faster.
In terms of the batch process I have been writing these results have given me confidence in the performance of Entity Framework and I have no plans to change at this stage. It has shown me that Entity Framework is not significantly slower than other ORMs and in the majority of my application its actually faster (as I am primarily doing updates and inserts).
I would encourage you to download the test framework and look at my test cases, improve them if you can and add your own. I’m really keen to watch this space more and add some more ORMs in the future.
Other things of note
- I don’t claim to be an expert on the ORMs tested, there may well be additional ways to tweek extra performance out of the specific scenarios. If you know a better way please let me know and I will update my results accordingly.
- My results are produced from executing these tests against a remote SQL 2008 R2 server running on a VM (but on different physical hardware). This is not a production test and the numbers represented here would be greatly reduced by running this in a faster environment. Having said this the general trends portrayed should be similar regardless of the speed of the individual test environments.
- .NET 4.5 has been used in these test cases because I wanted to test against the EF 5 beta as it claims to have improved performance. This makes a difference to the overall performance of all the scenarios. If you would like to see the performance using .NET 4 I would encourage you to build the tests using .NET 4 and run them for yourself.
- These tests take a long time to run (several hours), I would recommend running them overnight.
- My recommendation is to run the tests in release mode without debugging as this will give you the best results.
Thanks
I’m very grateful to Sam Saffron for his help getting my Dapper test case running faster.

There is circumstance that Azure Web Role will have long run application start (Application_Start in global.asax.cs), which will block the Web Role instance healthy status to be Ready.
Meanwhile, Azure Fabric will recycle/heal the non-ready status instance in a period of time, which could easily bring the instance into recycling over and over again.
This example is to help you to build Azure Web Role with more flexible instance startup process
1. Make the instance into Ready status as soon as possible
2. Business initialization process run in backend as usual
3. Internet-facing Load Balancer will route the traffic until the entire startup process is completed
1. Azure Cloud Service (Classic) Web/Worker Role architecture and initialization process
There are 3 steps of web role instance startup process: startup task cmdlet, OnStart method in the WAIISHost.exe, and application_start method in the Global.asax.cs, those steps will execute in sequence.
Once the OnStart
method execution completed, Run method will be called, and the role instance
status will be in Ready.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kwill/2011/05/05/windows-azure-role-architecture/
2. Load Balancer Probes
There are 2 types of Load
Balancers in Cloud Services, Custom Load Balancer probe and Guest Agent Probe. Custom
Load Balancer will override the default Guest Agent Probe. In this example, we
will use Http custom Load Balancer as it’s Web Role.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-custom-probe-overview/
3. Custom Load Balancer Probe Schema
Introducing how we can configure
the custom Load Balancer Probe
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj151530.aspx
4. ASP.NET MVC and Web API
This sample role project is based on ASP.NET MVC and using Web API as probe checking URL.
Web API can more easily control the Http request return code.
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api
1.
Create Cloud Service with ASP.NET MVC/Web API
role in Visual Studio 2015
The solution contains 2 projects: Cloud Service project and Web Role project. When creating the web role project, check the MVC & Web API checkbox.
2. Add Endpoints in Role configuration
3.
Configure the ServiceDefinition.csdef
to add the load balancer probe
Add <LoadBalancerProbes>
node and set the endpoint which will used for probe check.
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceDefinition name="WebRoleWithCustomLoadBalanceProbe" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2015-04.2.6">

Right click the cloud service project and choose “Publish” button to publish it to Azure Cloud Service.
Enable RDP to check instance status locally on instance.
NOTE: please use Nuget to get all dependency libraries and packages, otherwise the project couldn’t be executed.
1. Add Web API listener to API Controller
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("api/values/ping")]
[AcceptVerbs("Get")]
public HttpResponseMessage Ping()
{
if (InitializedModel.Instance != null)
{
return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
else
{
// use 503 as service note
ready
// you can choose
your own return code according to your business requirement
return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.ServiceUnavailable);
}
}
Use AllowAnonymous and AcceptVerbs attribute to bypass authentication and easy coding. I used 503 return code to stands for service not ready yet, you can choose return code according to your business requirement.
InitializaedModel.Instance checking is for initialization process, will take about it later.
2. Create an individual task to run initialization process asynchronously in Application_Start
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
…
Task.Run(() => {
// initialization
string outPutFileName
= string.Format("{1}\\initial-Log-{0}.txt", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd-hhmmss"), RoleEnvironment.GetLocalResource("LocalStorage1").RootPath);
using (StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(outPutFileName))
{
// output start log
string initStart
= "{0}: Role
initialization starts";
file.WriteLine(initStart, DateTime.Now.ToString("hhmmss"));
}
// Use thread sleep
300s as the working process
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300000);
InitializedModel.Initialization();
using (StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(outPutFileName))
{
// output end log
string initEnd
= "{0}: Role
initialization completed";
file.WriteLine(initEnd, DateTime.Now.ToString("hhmmss"));
}
});
}
I used local resource to output temporary logs, it’s recommended to use Azure Diagnostics instead.
3. I used a singleton class to check if the asynchronously initialization is completed or not. That’s why I need to put the asynchronous code into Application_Start, as OnStart method in WebRole.cs will execute in WAIISHost.exe, and WebAPI controller Ping action will run in W3WP.exe. You can choose your own way to check the initialization process.
In the WaAppAgent.log in C:\Logs, you can see my role instance was in ready status at 4/4/2016 2:16:10 UTC
And the initialization process started at 2:16:48 UTC and competed at 2:21:48, it’s 5mins as I made the threading sleep. As you can see the initialization process started after the role was reported as Ready.


Mark Ramprakash criticises England's use of Jofra Archer as BJ Watling cashes in
Former England batting coach Mark Ramprakash fears England risk wasting Jofra Archer’s natural talent if he is restricted to the role of enforcer in their new-look bowling attack.
New Zealand assumed control of the first Test in Maunganui after a patient batting display saw them reach 394/6 at the close with an unbeaten 119 from BJ Watling anchoring their innings.
The hosts established a 41-run after Joe Root’s side had wasted a commanding position earlier in the match having been 277/4 at one stage, before a familiar collapse.
Archer, who shot to prominence during the summer following his World Cup and Ashes heroics, remained wicketless from 30 overs on his first Test appearance abroad, failing to disrupt New Zealand’s batsmen with a barrage of short-pitched bowling.
‘We have to be very careful with our expectations just because he has great natural ability and great natural pace,’ said Ramprakash reflecting on Archer’s toils.
‘It doesn’t mean that at his very young age he’s going to turn up and get five wickets every time.
Advertisement Advertisement
‘We have to be very patient and understand he’s a young man who is learning even though he has great success at one-day tournaments.
‘He had a tough day of Test cricket today he will have learned a lot about how to bowl in those conditions. How to physically understand his body and he’ll feel it in the morning.
‘I’ve got to be honest, he’s been used in the wrong way he’s not someone who just comes in and bowls loads of bouncers.
‘I think he’s better than that. I want to see more balls at a fuller length. The great West Indian bowlers of the past, yes they’ve played the chin music but they’ve followed that up with really fast, accurate bowling.
‘I think he’s better than what he showed today but I wonder if he’s being asked to play a role that’s not getting the best out of him.’

Dear Dry,
We at “Ms.” magazine decided reporting about women in domestic violence shelters and prisons was not enough. *We want to let them know they are still valued and that we are in touch.* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12741&oqd-sourcecode=MP14email ]
Did you know that about 70 percent of the women in prison have been convicted of nonviolent crimes? That the majority have dependent children? And many are serving for the crimes of their significant others?
Women in domestic violence shelters are also extremely isolated. And, like women’s prisons, they often lack libraries. “Ms.” provides inspiration.
That’s why we started the *“Ms.” Magazine Prison and Domestic Violence Shelter Program*-to provide free copies of “Ms.” to women in prisons and shelters.
*We’re asking “Ms. "supporters to be a part of the program by making a contribution for a friend they don’t know”.“ [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12741&oqd-sourcecode=MP14email ] **Please make a tax-deductible contribution to the "Ms.” Prison and Domestic Violence Shelter Program today.* [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12741&oqd-sourcecode=MP14email ]
Offer to women on the inside the support, facts, creativity, humor and feeling of community that the women’s movement has brought to us on the outside. *Make a contribution to these women now.* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12741&oqd-sourcecode=MP14email ]
With Friendship,

OVERVIEW OF THE INSTALLATION
Go through the steps you will take and the packages you will install.
Goal of this lesson:
The following is an outline of how your learning experience.
I will only introduce the core concepts and the steps we will take without actually doing any thing, rather it will give you the full picture of how Openbox and other components are put together to form a complete Ubuntu Openbox system.
Reading through this overview should help you to avoid initial frustrations and ultimately help you to better understand all the up coming lessons.
Core concepts:
Window Manager Vs. Desktop Environment
To understand what Openbox actually is, it’s important to know the differences between a window manager and a desktop environment.
A window manager is the program which draws on your screen the “box” in which the program is run. A window manager controls how your program window works, looks and acts. It decides what window decorations to use and gives you a way to move the windows, hide them, resize them, minimize them and close them. It controls what buttons you push to do those things, and what keys you press to make those things happen.
On the other hand, a desktop environment minds the entire desktop. It provides a taskbar, a system tray, a login manager, additional menus or perhaps screensavers and desktop icons. It might include a file manager, a text editor or some other accessory programs, too.”
from: Debian wiki
In short, what Openbox give you are just the “boxes” in which the programs are run. This is modest, but this modesty is also the reason why people love Openbox or Window manager in general. You will have the change to deeply configure the system and to choose the only specific apps/ features needed.
There is so much space for us to customize - it is also where the magical of Openbox begin.
Overview of the installation
1. Core steps
Let’s go through the installation step by step together!
-
Step 1: Install the base Ubuntu OS without any GUI.
This step only install Ubuntu to the point of having a functional OS, on top of this base, we will build our Openbox and other desktop components.
-
Step 2: Install Xorg, the foundation of GUI.
Xorg will install graphic driver and other requisites for the GUI.
-
Step 3: Install Openbox and other component of a desktop environment (file manager, network manager, notification, taskbar).
After this step, we will have a complete desktop and you can consider it has done and you can completely skip step 4 and go straight to step 5 to polish your system with icon and theme. If you want to know more about my chosen and recommended applications, please read on to step 4.
-
Step 4: Install necessary applications for day to day use.
I group these applications into some major group based on their general usage: Internet applications (web browser, email client, torrent client), Office applications (Libre office suite), Multimedia applications (VLC, SMplayer…)…
The main point of this step is to show you my choice and the reason for it. I assume that if you are so well verse in Debian/ other Linux distros that you want to use Openbox, install and using these applications is just a breeze for you.
-
Step 5: Customize the look and feel of your new OS. Of course their will come to the time that your computer is just like a tool for your work and the look and feel of it will have no longer matter. But at this moment, I can assure you that customize your own Openbox is a fun and exciting experience.
2. Core packages:
Here is the command to install all necessary packages for a competent Ubuntu operating system using Openbox (other non-UBUNTU OPENBOX relating packages are intentionally left out of the list):
sudo apt-get install xorg openbox openbox-themes openbox-xdgmenu suckless-tools obmenu lxappearance terminator lxpanel thunar thunar-volman thunar-archive-plugin thunar-media-tags-plugin humanity-icon-theme gvfs gvfs-backends nitrogen alsa-base alsa-utils vlc numlockx light-locker lightdm wicd lxpolkit xfce4-notifyd

Bytecode operators
Each entry in the following list consists of: a bytecode command word (which is a number), a name in brackets, and then the arguments for that operator separated by commas. Arguments in plain text take up a defined number of bytecode words. Unless otherwise indicated, a fixed-width argument is one word long and should be read as a signed integer. Arguments in italics are themselves bytecode expressions, which can span arbitrary word-lengths.
- 0 [ null ] : marks the end of a code block
- 1 [ jump ], offset : jumps the program counter to the position of the offset word plus offset bytecode words
- 2 [ jump-if-true ], offset, condition : jumps the program counter to the position of the offset word plus offset bytecode words, if the conditional expression evaluates to true
- 3 [ jump-if-false ], offset, condition : moves the program counter to the position of the offset word plus offset byetcode words, if condition is false
- 4 [ code ] : delineates the boundary between two code blocks
- 5 [ return ], return_variable : exits the function and returns the specified variable
- 6 [ user function ], function_variable, args_variable : runs the given user function with the specified arguments, and returns the return variable (if any).

- 8 [ define ], flags, LH_var, RH_var : applies the define/equate/equate-at command specified by the flags from the source RH_var to the target LH_var
- 9 [ forced_equate ], LH_var, RH_var : copies the raw data from the source RH_var into the target LH_var if their byte-sizes match
- 10 [ search member ], ID : searches backwards from the current function for the member having the given ID
- 11 [ step to member ], ID, starting_variable : steps to the member with the given ID from the given starting variable
- 12 [ step to index ], starting_variable, index : steps into the given index of the starting variable
- 13 [ step to indices ], starting_variable, low_index, high_index : steps simultaneously into the given range of indices from the starting variable
- 14 [ step to all indices ], starting_variable : steps into all indices of the starting variable

There are several ways to change navigation position (coordinates of intersection of planar views):
1. Drag orthogonal 2D cross sections with a mouse to desired position.
2. Type coordinates in navigation field (input field located at left bottom side).
3. Scrolling with mouse wheel while holding a ctrl key will scroll through the slices in the corresponding 2D view under the mouse cursor. Simultaneously holding shift key in addition to ctrl key will increase the speed of scrolling to 10 slices at a time instead of one.
Mouse scroll wheel is used to increase or decrease zoom level of 2D cross sections and 3D overview.
Arbitrary orientation of planar views (oblique slicing) can be achieved by dragging orthogonal 2D cross sections while pressing the shift key.

by Aisha MalikCostco has discounted its App Store and iTunes gift cards online by almost 20 percent in Canada ahead of Black Friday.
This is an online members-only offer that is limited to four cards per person. The gift card will be sent to customers via a digital code sent to their email.
Here are the deals:
These gift cards could be used to save on any sort of digital purchase from Apple, including subscriptions to Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, which each cost $5.99 CAD/month.
Since Disney+ is also available on iOS and Apple TV, the gift card could be used to purchase a subscription for the recently launched streaming service which costs $8.99 CAD/month.
Costco’s App Store and iTunes gift card deal is running until November 29th.


I was back to FOSSASIA this year after a gap of an year and nothing had changed other than the venue. The event had the same level of enthusiasm as before, though the crowd seemed to be less compared to the previous years.
This FOSSASIA was more special for the participants, organizers and the volunteers because this was the 10th year of the event. Kudos, to the organizing team for doing it successfully for last 10 years!
Day zero, the speakers informally gathered at the Lau Pa Sat street, where we shared some nice discussions along with sea food.
Sadly, the first day started out bad for me, with me waking up to bloodshot red eyes and burning sensation. I went back to have more some rest and later in the day headed to the conference after waking up.
The first day was a single-track event with the talks lined up one after another. Martin, from Debian, shared the varied differences and similarities within the open source communities. The panel on “What Opportunities Does “Open” Bring to Society?” was an interesting panel to sit through and listen to bunnie, Hong, Shanker, Dr. Graham, and Carsten share their opinions. Being there is the industry for long and embracing open source they shared their thoughts on how their employers embrace open source over time.
Recently, I’ve been looking IPFS (InterPlanetory File System) after we had a talk on the same during the Golang Bangalore Meetup. Jollen Chen in his talk shares how they are building distributed ledger/blochain from scratch for the IoT space. They use virtual blocks that provide a new blockchain design to ensure the real-time data transactions. This virtual blocks also add up with IPFS.
I lost track of time and could not attend the “Serverless with Knative”.
The second day, I did not attend a lot of talks rather went around the booths, and made connections in the hallway tracks. Elastic, Upcloud, UI-licious, Indeed, Microsoft, IBM, and others. There were a couple of communities too who had put up their booth. CentOS also had a booth of it’s own. We had our Fedora CoreOS stickers and Silverblue stickers up for display at the booth.
In talks, Rishav talked on the best practices to be followed while building Docker images. Manuel puts why/what problems is GraphQL trying to solve in comparison to REST. The under/over fetching principle in GraphQL/REST seems to be interesting to me and I shall put some reading around it and try to get something implemented around it. Rohan took us through the magical land of babel and codemod. He explained how he refactored and migrated to a different library by writing custom codemod, and explaining JavaScript AST, babel parser on the way.
On the third day of the event, I went to talk by Harsha who was talking on building intelligent intrusion detection system, the first half of the talk mostly talks about the basics about IDS, and the second half on how he uses machine learning, and the fields to build this intelligent IDS. As expected, Jason Zaman gives an amazing talk on how to leverage SELinux to debug issues, for conditional policies, for policy types etc. He also demoed the various SELinux commands to use to tool effectively as an system administrator. Abhishek, from Swiggy, how Redis sits in-front of MySQL as a caching layer. He also demonstrated the plugin that he built and shared a demo on the performance of the tool.
The last day, I gave a talk on how I leverage the container-workflow tool on my primary workstation using Silverblue. I also shared why we built Silverblue in the first place, and what happens behind the scenes. The good thing was just after my talk Sinny’s talk was scheduled which was on the upcoming Fedora CoreOS.
I was actually happy that our talks had a good amount of audience, and there was good amount of enthusiasm from the crowd. Few people where interested in knowing the release cycle of the Silverblue/Fedora CoreOS and if it would be different from the one Container Linux followed which was maintaining channels. Also, an interesting question was if there was limit to the number of package layering I can go while working with Silverblue.
Apart from the talk, I was reached out by a lot of people to know if Silverblue or the container-based workflow actually helps. I’ve to agree it’s not an easy task to pitch a unconventional way to manage your system and something which is totally new. Still, at the end of the day, I hope I had good discussion around the topic with a lot of people.
I also happened to visit the Singapore Hackerspace which is one of the places I love to visit. On second visit we met a enthusiastic group of hackers and makers who are out on travelling South East Asia.
To end, I really had a good time at Singapore and FOSSASIA. I met a lot of people whom I did not meet for years, built connections to meet them in the future, and learnt quite a lot of things. And, I also happened to learn some really nice soldering technique at the very end.

During the summer of 2009, me and my partner decided to try some 60x Salvia . She wasn't as experienced as me, only having had lower extracts twice before, whereas I had at least a dozen trips on various extracts, 5x-40x (all positive, fun experiences). This trip was something else altogether, I feel it's going to take a good portion of my life to understand what exactly happened.
Just to get the boring bit out of the way: it was late at night, summer's eve, in mine and my girlfriend's flat, when I decided to take a hit. We were in the living room, a space I was very comfortable in mainly because the room was red with my partner's paintings painted directly onto the walls, something my parents would have never let me done at home. I expect we'd spent the evening with friends as usual, probably smoking a few joints earlier on in the day/eve.
The first section of the trip is a blank. I have vague memories of reality splitting open, taking me into a cartoon-like dimension. Eventually I come out in what I can only describe as a huge warehouse-like place. I was way out of my body, in a completely different world. Here my personality was moving along a vast conveyor belt land, amongst hundreds of other personalities, represented by faces on square panels. My instincts were telling me that this is where people go when they die. If you think of a shop and think that the main bit where you sell stuff is life and then the bit where all the boxes of food are sorted is the afterlife, then you should get the gist, that's what was connoted. I remember feeling a mixture of fright and extreme sadness at this point, mostly at the fact that I didn't get to say good-bye to my life and friends and because it was all over so abruptly.
Then it dawned on me that my old personality/life wasn't real, it was just an imprint, one that's used over and over again by this system on people alive in this world. This concept is quiet hard to explain but it was like there is a finite amount of these personalities (the square panels) and each of us is nothing special, nor unique, just part of repeated pattern.
At some point, the personalities started to come to what I can only describe as the 'teeth of the machine'. You could see in front that as the personalities went in they got completely crushed and chewed up. The 'teeth' yank you a bit closer, than pushed you back a bit, but always pushing you in closer more than they pushed you back out. It was terrifying. I think it's safe to say that pain exists in that realm, but it's a different sort of pain then what we encounter here. Again memories are vague, but I think this part of the journey was in 2D.
This is where it gets a bit more conceptual and even harder to explain. Imagine a long block of wood. Slowly, one end of the wood is burning away, disappearing into nothingness. This block of wood, represents every moment of my life, all of which are happening at once. So at the start of this block, you have me as a baby, and at the end, my death. This block is meant to always exist as a full block. I was looking down on all these parallel universes from above, watching as this force destroyed my timeline, starting at the end of the block, wiping out my future and slowly moving into my past, erasing it. Then I honed down on one of the me's about to be destroyed.
Everything went black. I had no sense of scale. Neither big nor small. I could have been there for ages, I'm not sure. But I believed then that I was being giving a glimpse of my future. That when this force reaches this one universe of all the fractal universes, the one I'm writing and living in now, everything will stop and that is all I ever will know, this horrible nothingness.
Again, my recollection is hazy, but I believe at the end of my trip I came out of this black space and saw hundreds, if not thousands of parallel realities, all of them me, in my flat, tripping away. It was like the same image repeated in broken glass. It took awhile, but slowly I honed down on one these realities and went back into my body.
When I came back to 'reality', it's safe to say that I was shocked, confused and afraid. However, as time went by my sense of well-being sky rocketed. Maybe I was just happy to alive, but, to be fair, Salvia generally leaves me in a rather happy state. Research with Salvia and depression is something I hope people will look into in the future. I remember seeing a businessman walk out of a news agent the next day and I couldn't help laughing at him.
While I was fine after my trip, my girlfriend was left shocked and confused for weeks. I didn't think her taking a hit after my trip was a good idea but I knew she would have resented me for a long time if I didn't let her go on a journey.
I feel like 60x is too much and I just hope that the plant was giving me a smack on the bottom for being so stupid as to take such a strong extract of it. I hope I can return one day to the positive places I've experienced with Divinorum. It goes without saying, but becoming a flower is a much nicer experience than being utterly annihilated.

Mobile Fiddling: "However, on close inspection (i.e peeking) at what some people do with their phones, the fiddling is a kind of mindless playing around - poking, changing, reverting back, going up and down menus, swapping settings back and forth, and so on - plain fiddling about. We like to tell kids not to fiddle with things - the remote control, the car controls, the radio, the computer. We often then go and do it ourselves (which doesn't mean the kids can too!) It seems we are born to fiddle."
