I love seeing how other developers work, normally I’ll be like ‘Hey, did you just do that?’ and ‘WTF was that you just did?’.
Watched this one by Paul Irish a while back, awesome stuff and more recently saw this post, again, awesomeness.
So… I’ve been meaning to get one together for a while and well, here it is, a screencast showing some of the stuff I use. Had a bit of a cold, my Internet connection wasn’t too great and it was a bit adhoc so apologies if it’s a bit quiet and there’s no editing, will add a few pointers below to hopefully piece this together :D
What I’d recommend is opening up the video in a separate window and use an app like Divvy, or you can just do it manually so you can view the notes below as well.
Applications and Hardware setup I use can be found here:
http://www.setapp.me/users/simonowendesign
Notes:
1.20 - QuickSilver is free, there’s also a similar app called Alfed.
2:20 - TotalFinder - Can this be done? Cmd + Shift + T
to re-open a tab?
Yes, it now can! But at the minute you’ll need to activate ‘pre-releases’:
Finder > Preferences > TotalFinder > About > Check 'Include pre-releases', then click 'Check Now'.
5:30 - Remember this will need to be changed when live!
6:12 -

8:42 - Lol… I was pointing at my screen ‘Obviously you can’t see that’.
9:30 - Phoenix / Monokia Theme
10:02 - Shortcut is Cmd + T
here.
10:20 - Mainly a load of H5BP goodness :)
10:25 - Google App Engine FTW!
11:37 - Sorry was tired! Meant the angle bracket: <
12:00 - Saved the file here first instead of Cmd + Shift + P
, then type ‘set html’.
12:30 - There we go ^_^
13:00 - Zen Coding is now Emmet, check it out.
15:10 - Actually dragged just the theme folder here, not the entire folder!
16:05 - FireSASS equivalent now in Google Canary. Great job @GoogleChromeDev, @ChromiumDev.
16:34 - Lol…
17:00 - Would be nice if I had YSlow / Page Speed for my Internet connection :p
18:20 - It is possible if you have access to your router to fix your IP. Haven’t got around to doing it yet, but I’d recommend it so you don’t have to keep updating it.
19:00 - LiveReload / iPhone and other devices etc…
21:31 - Implementing a build script is something that’s on my ‘Things to do’ list.
22:40 - Was in the root folder, not the theme folder that is where the repo is.
23:40 - Sorry! Forgot code again. 24:07 - Got it :)
24:23 - Boink, boink, boink. How do you get out of that??? Forgot shortcut!
25:15 - You can do this in one go, but that’s risky business ;)
And there we go, so hope that helps, if you’ve got any questions, feel free to get in touch. What I’d love to see are screencasts on how people handle the database side of things from local to live.

THE GREAT WHITE HYPE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 8.0 Alternative Scale: ***1/2 out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 5/3/96 (wide) Running Length: 1:30 MPAA Classification: R (Profanity, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Damon Wayans, Peter Berg, Jon Lovitz, Corbin Bernsen, Cheech Marin, John Rhys-Davies, Salli Richardson, Michael Jace Director: Reginald Hudlin Producers: Fred Berner and Joshua Donen Screenplay: Tony Hendra and Ron Shelton Cinematography: Ron Garcia Music: Marcus Miller U.S. Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Not since Robert Altman's THE PLAYER has a film been this relentless in its satirical attack. THE GREAT WHITE HYPE takes the boxing industry and rips it open, displaying the rotting, putrid innards for all to see. There are times when this movie is so vicious that it ceases to be funny. While THE GREAT WHITE HYPE has its share of comical, occasionally-hilarious moments, don't expect a non-stop laughfest on par with THIS IS SPINAL TAP.
Co-writer Ron Shelton is no stranger to sports movies -- he scripted five before this (three of which he directed): THE BEST OF TIMES, BULL DURHAM, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, COBB, and BLUE CHIPS. Shelton is familiar with the behind-the-scenes machinations, and this knowlege is crucial to the film's success. THE GREAT WHITE HYPE works primarily because its excesses aren't far removed from reality. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the movie is the recognition of how true-to-life the most outlandish and absurd aspects are.
James "the Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayans) is the most devastating heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson. With his 38-0 record, he's a force to be reckoned with. Or is he? Is Roper undefeated because he's so good, or because his flamboyant, publicity- loving manager, Reverend Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson), only lets him fight stiffs. That's the question Roper's would-be-rival-in-the-ring, Marvin Shabazz (Michael Jace) would like answered.
The pay-per-view revenue for Roper's last fight is down -- way down. The money isn't rolling in the way it used to, and Sultan knows the reason. People have lost interest in the heavyweight championship, he claims, because they're tired of watching black men beat up each other. They need a white hero -- someone with a "clean-cut", "all- American" image. And, Sultan adds, if he doesn't exist, "I'll create him." When one of Sultan's assistants uncovers the name of Terry Conklin (Peter Berg), the only man ever to knock out Roper (albeit in an amateur bout more than 10 years ago), Sultan has his man. With his entourage in tow, the promoter pays a visit to Cleveland, where Conklin is acting as lead singer for a bad heavy metal band. After making one $10 million offer to the ex-Golden Glove Champ, Sultan has his "great white hope" -- Irish Terry Conklin (who's not Irish), defender of the homeless (he gives large donations to that cause) and challenger for the heavyweight championship.
The secondary plot of THE GREAT WHITE HYPE involves the rise of Mitchell Kane (Jeff Goldblum) from tabloid reporter and self-styled "freelance crusader" to a major force in the boxing promotion business. Kane, who starts out trying to expose Sultan as a fraud, ends up becoming another cog in the Don King-like promoter's machinery. Jon Lovitz, Cheech Marin, Salli Richardson, and Corbin Bernsen all have small roles as Sultan's flunkies. And, although Jackson's performance is the one to watch, everyone else is more than capable, especially Damon Wayans, who finds the right balance between seriousness and comedy.
Ably directed by Reginald Hudlin (BOOMERANG), THE GREAT WHITE HYPE never lets up with its pummeling of the boxing industry and its image- obsessed attitudes. The film also presents a timely message about how racial divisiveness can be exploited in sports (especially boxing) to bring in big bucks. Shelton and Tony Hendra's script sparkles with nasty, incisive wit -- their pens were sharpened to finely-honed points before they began this skewering. And the boxing match at the end is actually suspenseful, because we don't know how things are going to turn out -- there's potential for more ridicule no matter who wins or loses.
There are occasions when THE GREAT WHITE HYPE goes too far, and rarer instances when it doesn't go far enough, but those moments are only apparent upon close examination. This movie isn't the unqualified success that THE PLAYER or SPINAL TAP were -- both of those films had more artistry than is evident here -- but THE GREAT WHITE HYPE is still the kind of first-rate satire that would make Jonathan Swift proud. By the time this hyper-energetic, unapologetically politically incorrect motion picture draws to a close, boxing has been dealt a knock-out punch.

Abstract: Nested sampling is a new Monte Carlo method by Skilling [1] intended for general Bayesian computation. Nested sampling provides a robust alternative to annealing-based methods for computing normalizing constants. It can also generate estimates of other quantities such as posterior expectations. The key technical requirement is an ability to draw samples uniformly from the prior subject to a constraint on the likelihood. We provide a demonstration with the Potts model, an undirected graphical model. 1

Senate proposes creation of Southwest Development Commission
by Rebecca AKINREMIIBIKUNLE Amosun, Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District has sponsored a bill seeking to establish the Southwest Development Commission.
The bill is titled “South West Development Commission (Est, etc) Bill, 2019 (SB. 167)” and was read for the first time at the Senate plenary session presided over by Senate President Ahmed Lawan.
It eventually passed the first reading.
Amosun, the ex-governor of Ogun State, had introduced the bill in collaboration with members of the upper chamber from the South-west region of the country.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Senate moves to establish the Southwest Development Commission.
Gbenga Bareehu Ashafa, Senator representing Lagos East in the Eight National Assembly, introduced a similar bill in December 2018 that passed only first reading.
Regional development commissions that have fully come into existence are the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) established in the year 2000 and the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC) in 2017. The primary legislative function of these commissions is to fast-track progress by tackling developmental challenges across the states they cover.
Stella Oduah, senator representing Anambra North had also re-introduced the bill that seeks the creation of the Southeast Development Commission on Tuesday. The bill had been earlier passed by the Eight National Assembly in December 2018 but was not assented to by President Muhamadu Buhari.
The newly introduced bill by Amosun is not yet uploaded on the National Assembly website.


Does Checked Luggage Go to the Final Destination Only?
Luggage and Connecting Flights
Not all flights are nonstop; for example, you might travel from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., with a stop in Detroit. If you’re just touching down in an airport for a stop before your connecting flight, it’s not necessary to pick up your checked luggage
in the baggage claim. Because the luggage is checked through to your final destination, you can just grab an airport coffee or magazine during the stop and relax, knowing that your luggage will meet you at the final stop.
Luggage and Layovers
Some connecting flights have an overnight layover, depending on your travel itinerary. In this situation, it’s possible that the airline has not checked your luggage through to the final destination. If you have an overnight layover, you can request to
retrieve your luggage at baggage claim so that you have all of your items with you. However, you'll need to recheck your luggage in the morning, so plan additional time for going through security again. Different airlines have different
rules about overnight layovers and checked luggage, so ask ahead of time to avoid confusion.
Multiple Carriers, Multiple Rules
Your checked luggage might not head directly to your final destination if you have connecting flights operated by different airlines, so be sure to ask at the ticket counter. Some airlines require that you retrieve your checked luggage and recheck it
with the connecting airline for tickets involving multiple carriers. Other airlines that frequently operate in association with each other will check your bags all the way through to your final destination, regardless of whether you're
flying on two or even three different airlines. When planning your trip, check with the airline to determine whether your bags will be checked all the way through to your final destination.
What Are My Rights As a USA Citizen?
General Rights
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services condenses the rights of all American citizens into six basic themes. Citizens have the right to free expression and to worship according to their beliefs. They have the right to a trial by jury that is provided
promptly and without bias. They hold the right to elect public officials through voting and they have the right to run for elected offices, themselves. Citizens also reserve the right to apply for employment within federal offices.
In the Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights addresses the majority of citizens' rights. The first amendment covers the freedom of religion, press and expression and specifically prohibits Congress from making any rulings to the contrary. The second amendment preserves the right
of the citizens to have weapons and form a militia. The third amendment prohibits the government from forcing citizens to house soldiers in their homes. The fourth amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches or seizures of their
property. The fifth amendment ensures that the government cannot take property from citizens without compensation and establishes some of the conditions for a fair trial. The sixth and seventh amendments ensure that citizens receive a
trial before a jury and that it is timely. The eighth amendment outlaws cruel and unusual punishment. The ninth amendment asserts that the Bill of Rights, itself, should not be interpreted as the only rights that U.S. citizens should enjoy.
The 10th amendment gives any power that is not specifically attributed to the United States government in the Constitution to the individual states or to the citizens.
Additional Amendments
After the Bill of Rights, additional amendments further clarify and extend U.S. citizens' rights. For example, amendment 14 specifies that anyone born in or naturalized in the United States is a U.S. citizen. The amendment also establishes the practice
of representing individual states within the legislative branch. The 13th amendment abolishes slavery and the 15th and 19th amendments establish that citizens' rights cannot be withheld on account of race, color or gender.


This is a side project I've been working on to develop my digital design and drawing skills. I'm not naturally artistic, so these are not perfect (some may be downright clumsy), but creating things makes me happy. It also helps to have something small (or big!) to celebrate and share every day. Enjoy!

_Mansfield_Park_ (PG-13) *** 1/2 (out of ****)
Writer-director Patricia Rozema has received some heat for taking more than a few liberties in adapting Jane Austen's third novel, which is about a poor young woman named Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor as an adult) who is shipped off to live with her wealthy aunt (Lindsay Duncan) and uncle (Harold Pinter) in Mansfield Park. There, she falls for her cousin Edmund Bertram (Jonny Lee Miller), and the feeling is mutual. In true Austen style, however, happiness is not easily in the cards, especially not after the arrival of Henry and Mary Crawford (Alessandro Nivola and Embeth Davidtz), a wealthy brother-sister pair of Londoners who set their sights on Fanny and Edmund, respectively.
The one revision with which Austen purists have taken issue is the reimagining of the character of Fanny. In the original novel, she is a passive character; here, Rozema has used the actual journals of Austen herself to give Fanny a sharp-tongued voice. This incarnation of Fanny may not have been what Austen had in mind, but she surely would have approved, for the injection of attitude and smarts makes _Mansfield_Park_ a much more wicked and irresistible social satire, with Fanny frequently needling the pomposity of her rich relations. The cast is splendid--in particular O'Connor, Davidtz, and Nivola--as is the entire, entertaining film.

Testing Lambda container images locally
The AWS Lambda Runtime Interface Emulator (RIE) is a proxy for the Lambda Runtime API that allows you to locally test your Lambda function packaged as a container image. The emulator is a lightweight web server that converts HTTP requests into JSON events to pass to the Lambda function in the container image.
The AWS base images for Lambda include the RIE component. If you use an alternate base image, you can test your image without adding RIE to the image. You can also build the RIE component into your base image. AWS provides an open-sourced RIE component on the AWS GitHub repository.
You can use the emulator to test whether your function code is compatible with the Lambda environment. Also use the emulator to test that your Lambda function runs to completion successfully and provides the expected output. If you build extensions and agents into your container image, you can use the emulator to test that the extensions and agents work correctly with the Lambda Extensions API.
For examples of how to use the RIE, see
Container image support for Lambda
Topics
Guidelines for using the RIE
Note the following guidelines when using the Runtime Interface Emulator:
-
The RIE does not emulate Lambda’s security and authentication configurations, or Lambda orchestration.
-
The emulator supports only Linux x86-64 architectures.
-
The emulator does not support AWS X-Ray tracing or other Lambda integrations.
Environment variables
The runtime interface emulator supports a subset of environment variables for the Lambda function in the local running image.
If your function uses security credentials, you can configure the credentials by setting the following environment variables:
-
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
-
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
-
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
-
AWS_REGION
To set the function timeout, configure AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT
. Enter the maximum number of
seconds that you want to allow the function to run.
The emulator does not populate the following Lambda environment variables. However, you can set them to match the values that you expect when the function runs in the Lambda service:
-
AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_VERSION
-
AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME
-
AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_MEMORY_SIZE
Test an image with RIE included in the image
The AWS base images for Lambda include the runtime interface emulator. You can also follow these steps if you built the RIE into your alternative base image.
To test your Lambda function with the emulator
-
Build your image locally using the
docker build
command.docker build -t
myfunction
:latest . -
Run your container image locally using the
docker run
command.docker run -p 9000:8080
myfunction
:latestThis command runs the image as a container and starts up an endpoint locally at
localhost:9000/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations
. -
From a new terminal window, post an event to the following endpoint using a

This command invokes the Lambda function running in the container image and returns a response.
Build RIE into your base image
You can build RIE into a base image. Download the RIE from GitHub to your local machine and update your Dockerfile to install RIE.
To build the emulator into your image
-
Create a script and save it in your project directory. The following example shows a typical script for a Node.js function. The presence of the
AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API
environment variable indicates the presence of the runtime API. If the runtime API is present, the script runs the runtime interface client. Otherwise, the script runs the runtime interface emulator.#!/bin/sh if [ -z "${AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API}" ]; then exec /usr/local/bin/aws-lambda-rie /usr/bin/npx aws-lambda-ric else exec /usr/bin/npx aws-lambda-ric fi
-
Download the runtime interface emulator
from GitHub into your project directory. -
Install the emulator package and change
ENTRYPOINT
to run the new script by adding the following lines to your Dockerfile:ADD aws-lambda-rie /usr/local/bin/aws-lambda-rie ENTRYPOINT [ “/entry_script.sh” ]
-
Build your image locally using the
docker build
command.docker build -t
myfunction
:latest .
Test an image without adding RIE to the image
You install the runtime interface emulator to your local machine. When you run the container image, you set the entry point to be the emulator.
To test an image without adding RIE to the image
-
From your project directory, run the following command to download the RIE from GitHub and install it on your local machine.
mkdir -p ~/.aws-lambda-rie && curl -Lo ~/.aws-lambda-rie/aws-lambda-rie \ https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-runtime-interface-emulator/releases/latest/download/aws-lambda-rie \ && chmod +x ~/.aws-lambda-rie/aws-lambda-rie
-
Run your Lambda function using the
docker run
command.docker run -d -v ~/.aws-lambda-rie:/aws-lambda -p 9000:8080 \ --entrypoint /aws-lambda/aws-lambda-rie myfunction:latest <image entrypoint> \ <(optional) image command>
This runs the image as a container and starts up an endpoint locally at
localhost:9000/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations
. -
Post an event to the following endpoint using a
curl
command:curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9000/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations" -d '{}'
This command invokes the function running in the container image and returns a response.

Pomodoro Technique The habits of succesfull people.
The pomodoro technique was quite interesting as it helps keep you focused on your task efficiently
The pomodoro method worked for me as it was fast and easy to start getting the hang of. and it stops me losing focus as often as I had been.
the habits of succesfull people is something i would like to try as the title speaks for itself. habits are something that take a while to form so i would like to put a bit of time in to accumulating such habbits.

Phylogenetics and phylodynamics are central topics in modern biology. Phylogenetic inferences reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between organisms, whereas phylodynamic inferences reveal the dynamics that lead to the observed relationships. These two fields have many practical applications in disciplines such as epidemiology, developmental biology, paleontology, ecology and even linguistics. However phylogenetics and phylodynamics are complex and fast-evolving fields. As such, inference tools are not easily accessible to researchers who are not from a computational background.
BEAST 2 is a cross-platform program for Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequences. It estimates rooted, time-measured phylogenies using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST 2 uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. BEAST 2 includes a graphical user-interface for setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing the results. A core aspect of the BEAST 2 design philosophy is to allow researchers to extend the core program without the involvement of the BEAST 2 developers. New methods are implemented as standalone packages that are developed and maintained separately of BEAST 2 itself.
BEAST 2 is a complex program and it is challenging to learn BEAST without the help of an expert. Workshops, summer schools and lectures are a great resource, but can only reach a handful of the people interested in performing BEAST analyses. Taming the BEAST is a platform for collecting a comprehensive set of BEAST 2 tutorials in one location. By providing a set of well-curated and up-to-date tutorials Taming the BEAST aims to fill this gap and provide researchers with the resources necessary to learn how to perform analyses in BEAST 2!
In keeping with the BEAST 2 design it is possible for anyone to extend or correct the set of tutorials on the website. Thus, Taming the BEAST relies on the community to curate tutorials and raise issues to ensure that all of the tutorials are up-to-date. Furthermore, it is possible for developers to upload tutorials to newly implemented packages. Finally, we also encourage anyone else with useful BEAST 2 teaching materials to upload them. Find out how you can contribute!

One thing I love about Github is that they open-source a lot of their internal tools that power the site. What’s interesting is that, unlike SourceForge, they open source little bits and pieces; tiny libraries that do one specific thing. These things are supremely useful (I use Grit and Jekyll quite often).
This is a huge benefit to them; their products become higher-quality through contribution, and their talent-pool increases due to their contribution to the community; they are positioned as a technical leader and social force in the development community. I’ve often wondered why more companies don’t do this and what’s really involved?
There are three main hurdles to overcome in order to do this:
- Usefulness - do you have code that someone will find useful?
- Legalish - are you comfortable giving away some part of your company’s intellectual property?
- Technical - does your technical infrastructure support extraction, collaboration, and re-integration?
Usefulness
I think comparing Github to Sourceforge makes this point very clear. While SourceForge does more than, say, BERT, it’s just a big huge all-or-nothing proposition; Github has extracted small parts of their infrastructure useful outside the realm of “software project hosting”, resulting in many useful, fine-grained libraries.
Legalish
The issue here is essentially to determine if the gains achieved by open-sourcing some of your code are greater than the competitive advantage lost by doing so. Again, the ability to extract small, focused, and useful pieces of functionality is key. Github isn’t open-sourcing their entire infrastructure; just the parts that are really useful and not incidental to their success (though one may argue that their IP has nothing to do with their success).
Technical
Here’s where things get interesting. Extracting a small, useful piece of technology from your application, without revealing any trade secrets or other IP can be a challenging task. Add to that the infrastructure needed to manage and incorporate contributions, and your technical infrastructure could be the main barrier to interacting with the community (and not the lawyers!).My company struggles with this daily, as our tools were just not designed to make extraction and management of dependencies easy. Our problem is almost entirely based on tooling and technology choice (which I’ll get into in a further post).
Conclusion
The advantages to open-sourcing some of your code are obvious: you can improve the quality of your codebase while improving your standing in the community (which enahnces your ability to attract top-talent). You just need to make sure your technical infrastructure is built for it, and that the lines of communication between the development staff and the legal staff are clear and functional.That Github routinely open-sources bits of their code speaks volumes to the choices they’ve made as an organization, as well as their technical prowess.

People make important decisions based on data every day, from simple choices such as which restaurant to dine at when visiting a city, to important and complex decisions in healthcare about which course of treatment to pursue, and even decisions that impact national security and policy. Visual analytic systems play a critical role in these decision-making processes. They allow people to interact with their data and analytic models to view different perspectives of data and gain insights. This interactive data analysis process consists of people incrementally guiding analytic models to produce alternate views of the data in support of their tasks. In most cases, such human-in-the-loop processes have successful, insightful outcomes. However, the cognitive sciences tell us that people can exhibit innate biased behavior. As a result, their data analysis behaviors and strategies may suffer. Ultimately, this could lead to decisions made from incomplete information and limited perspectives on how the data can be interpreted. Biased analysis processes can lead to biased results and misinformation. This project will perform fundamental research to discover how to detect such potential bias and develop visual analytic systems that mitigate it. It will also produce educational impacts for graduate and undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in STEM fields, in part through outreach workshops with instructors from minority-serving institutions and historically black colleges and universities to help them integrate visual analytics and general data literacy learning objectives into course curricula.
The proposed multi-disciplinary research will develop techniques that enhance mixed-initiative visual analytic analysis processes by intervening and providing guidance when necessary. To accomplish this goal, three primary lines of research are proposed. First, the team will develop and evaluate computational metrics to detect poor and potentially biased analysis strategies from user interaction patterns and system parameters. These metrics consist of probabilistic computational models that take into consideration metrics such as data coverage over the duration of the data exploration. Second, the team will develop and study different visual analytic system designs to guide and improve people's analysis processes. Each prototype will give people guidance using the metrics, but display information to users via different interface designs (e.g., dialog boxes, visual overlays of coverage, etc.) They will be developed, evaluated, and made available via publications and open-source code. Third, the studies proposed will generate empirical results and design guidelines for future mixed-initiative visual analytic systems.

C2Serve Project
What is C2Serve?
C2Serve is a small C++ framework that allows you to easily create your own REST web service.
It is designed in a manner that is is possible to provide the basic functionality of a REST service such as methods that handle GET, POST, PUT and DELETE HTTP requests.
Furthermore, the framework provides multithreading and is thus able to handle multiple requests concurrently.
The focus is on a small set of basic features, implemented properly, instead of providing large functionality.
Of course, you are always free to extend the basic functionality to adjust the core framework to your own needs.
The core features of C2Serve:
-
Create socket connection and listen for incoming requests.
-
Parse requests according to the HTTP protocol defined here.
-
Match the HTTP requests to REST resources and methods.
-
Provide classes and interfaces to create REST resources, methods.
-
Provide classes and interfaces to read and write HTTP entities.
-
Allow to easily define path and query parameters.
For questions, bug reports or requests please contact
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Or visit us at
GitHub.
Motivation
Why REST Services with C++?
In web development, C++ is not really the language of choice.
Instead you would choose Java, PHP or other modern languages.
However, in some cases it is necessary to integrate a C++ application into an environment of distributed systems.
Or you simply want to use the power of multiple machines to run your C++ applications.
REST provides an easy way to implement web service.
An amount of frameworks and tools in various languages support REST.
This allows an easy integration of your C++ app.
Why a new Service Framework?
A few years ago I was digging through the world of available C++ web services.
We had a SOAP service running using Axis2C.
The thing worked so far but it was very hard to maintain for us and our customers.
So we decided to switch to REST.
I was searching the web for a C++ framework to implement my REST service.
The number of services I found was really small.
And the ones I found didn't fit my needs:
-
Written in C++, not C.
-
Support for multithreading.
-
Cross platform (Windows, Unix).
-
Easy usage. Documentation and/or example code available.
-
Standalone framework (no dependencies to other 3rd party libraries).
-
Realized under the concept of test-driven development.
-
Easy integration in development and build process.
So I decided to create an own framework.
Here it is, and it hopefully fulfills these requirements.
Important Notes
C2Serve is in beta phase. This means that there may be still some unknown bugs and memory issues.
The interface of some basic classes and functions will change in all likelihood.
Furthermore, the documentation currently only explains the basics of C2Serve.
To figure out how C2Serve works you can start with the example in directory
c2s-example
.
This example shows how to create REST resources and methods and how to start the socket listener.
A more detailed look into C2Serve is provided by the tests in
c2s-test
, especially
c2s-test/rest
.
The getting started section explains how to build the C2Serve libraries from source.
Alternatively you can also integrate the C2Serve's CMakeLists.txt into your build environment.
The following section also explains the basic steps to create a web service using C2Serve.

| Battle Trait | Battle Trait Details | Ref |
|---|---|---|
| Bone-Tithe Nexus | You can include 1 BONE-TITHE NEXUS (pg 85). When terrain is set up for a battle, any BONE-TITHE NEXUSES must be set up by the player whose army they are a part of, before any other terrain features are set up, more than 3" from any objectives and more than 6" from the edge of the battlefield. Set up the rest of the terrain as described in the core rules. If both players can set up terrain features before any other terrain features are set up, the players must roll off, and the winner chooses who sets up their terrain features first. |
|
| Deathless Warriors | Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to a friendly unit that has the HEKATOS keyword, or is wholly within 6" of a friendly Mortek Hekatos, or is wholly within 12" of a friendly OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS HERO. On a 6, that wound or mortal wound is negated. | |
| Ranks Unbroken by Dissent | Do not take battleshock tests for friendly OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units. | |
| Relentless Discipline | You cannot use command points. Instead, you use relentless discipline points. At the start of each battle round, before determining who has the first turn, you receive 1 relentless discipline point for each friendly OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS HERO that is on the battlefield. You receive 1 additional relentless discipline point for each warscroll battalion in your army and each friendly LIEGE that is on the battlefield, and 3 additional relentless discipline points if KATAKROS is your general and is on the battlefield. Then, roll a dice for each friendly OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS unit on the battlefield (including the HEROES above). For each 6, you receive 1 additional relentless discipline point. Relentless discipline points are used in the same manner as command points, but can only be used for command abilities that appear on a warscroll that has the OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS keyword, for Ossiarch Bonereaper Legion command abilities and for the Unstoppable Advance command ability. |
|
| Unstoppable Advance | You can use this command ability in your movement phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly unit that has the HEKATOS keyword, or is wholly within 6" of a friendly Mortek Hekatos, or is wholly within 12" of a friendly OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS HERO. Add 3" to that unit’s Move characteristic in that phase (it can still run, or charge if it does not run). You cannot pick the same unit to benefit from this command ability more than once per phase. Designer’s Note: Many Ossiarch Bonereapers command abilities do not require a HERO to be nearby in order for you to use it. These command abilities represent orders issued by the leader of the unit. In addition, some abilities allow you to return slain models to a unit. When you do so, set up the models one at a time within 1" of a model from the unit they are returning to (this can be a model returned earlier in the phase). Returning models can only be set up within 3" of an enemy unit if any models from the unit they are returning to are already within 3" of that enemy unit |

| Bludgeon | You can use this command ability in a combat phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly PETRIFEX ELITE unit that either has the HEKATOS keyword, or is wholly within 6" of a friendly Mortek Hekatos, or is wholly within 12" of a friendly PETRIFEX ELITE HERO. In that combat phase, improve the Rend characteristic of melee weapons used by that unit by 1. You cannot pick the same unit to benefit from this command ability more than once per phase. |

Why does the compiler throw errors that some classes cannot be found when I use the Feathers SWC?
Double check that your development environment has been set up correctly. Instructions are provided for setting up Flash Builder, IntelliJ IDEA, Animate CC, and FlashDevelop.
Confirm that you added Feathers to your project's build settings. The SWC should be added to your project's library path. Where to find this information depends on which IDE that you are using, so please take a look at the appropriate instructions for details.
Check the minimum required versions of Starling Framework, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe AIR in the Feathers README file. You may need to specify an appropriate -swf-version
argument in the compiler settings if you are using an older SDK. If you are targeting Adobe AIR, double-check that you are using the correct version in the namespace in your application's *-app.xml
file.
The Feathers SWC has been tested using both 1) the Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 merged with the latest version of "the original AIR SDK without the new compiler" and 2) the latest Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler. Again, be sure to double check the Feathers README file to see which version of Adobe Flash Player, Adobe AIR, and Starling Framework are required.
Flash Builder 4.6 and Flash Builder 4.7 have both been tested and confirmed to work correctly. If you are still using Flash Builder 4.5, please consider upgrading to at least Flash Builder 4.6. Your serial number from Flash Builder 4.5 is fully compatible with Flash Builder 4.6 without paying an upgrade fee.

Q & A
What other work has been done in voting systems?
In the past decade, a number of academic voting procedures have tended to focus on cryptography.
These procedures use elaborate hashing functions to obscure the receipt code and the posted vote codes. Voters can see that their ballots were recorded, but they cannot directly verify their individual vote.
Why does VOTE{X} not use ballot code cryptography* ?
The rationale for cryptographic procedures is to prevent vote buying. The argument goes that if voters can prove how they voted, they can sell their vote. But no technology can ever stop vote buying between a determined buyer and seller. Voters can always secretly videotape themselves completing the ballot, proving their vote without any official documentation.
Vote buying seems to be rare in America at present. It was a problem in the nineteenth century until 1892, when voting by secret ballot (prohibiting oral roll calls) became universal among U.S. states. It was diminished further in 1925 when criminal statutes against paying people to vote were instituted. Since the 1940s, there have been no examples of widespread vote buying in the U.S. We should still appreciate the potential for the problem to emerge. But the remedy must come from law enforcement and cultural norms, not technology.
Even if cryptography somehow solved vote-buying, there's still a tradeoff with verifiability. By definition, cryptographic methods cannot be fully verifiable. If you can't prove how you voted to someone else, how can you prove it to yourself?
(*) To clarify, VOTE{X} does not employ cryptography to obfuscate the link between the ballot code and the receipt code. It does encrypt the channel between the scanner and the vote processing server to reduce the likelihood of intercepted ballot codes.
What about secrecy?
Secrecy is sacred. VOTE{X} maintains ballot secrecy as long as the "shuffle" step of the process is done in good faith. (Of course, any other voting method involving malicious administrators would be vulnerable, too.)
What about voting on the blockchain?
To quote Randall Munroe:
(relevant xkcd)How can I support this initiative?
You can try the Vote{X} system and give us feedback. (It's free, fun, and may help your group make better decisions.)
You can advocate for the adoption of alternative voting methods in your state and local elections.
You can contribute to our open-source code repository.

#changethestory: Retribution poisons well of freedom | Cape Argus
This year was a traumatic year in which every imaginable political nightmare reared its ugly head.
It revealed a once-profound political architecture in crisis mode. We are yet to read the full narrative on state capture, but the first few chapters have revealed death, deceit and lies that plunged our globally-admired democracy into a quagmire of corruption. We saw the unacknowledged burial of SAA, Eskom rushed into ICU and Prasa in the emergency room.
All this emanated from a narrative that defied foundational democratic values.
In every aspect they failed us. We now have a freedom that is based on what you can pay for and determined by who you hate. These deviations have poisoned the well of freedom. A democracy-deserving public are held to ransom by leaders who continually feed them a truth that they themselves do not practice.
They have lied to the people about prosperity and freedom, and have tainted the vision of a country that will never again taste the bitterness of oppression.


Indian Women Footballer Ngangom Bala Devi Called For Trials at Scottish Club Rangers FC
Bala Devi will travel to Scotland on November 19 and return on November 26.
Indian women’s football national team player Ngangom Bala Devi on Monday received a call for trials at Scottish Premier League club Rangers Football Club. Bala Devi is the most experienced member of the current Indian women’s football team.
According to a report in Sportstar, Bala Devi will travel to Scotland on November 19 and return on November 26. “This is great news because it shows people are following women’s football,” she said.
“I don’t know if I will be selected because I don’t know much about Scotland. I have only been to Spain twice and I think Scotland will be much different. Nonetheless, I will try my best at the trials,” she added.
“I want to experience their training methods and (learn) how to develop my game. Everyone plays football but there are differences in the way it is played. Through this trial, I have an opportunity to learn the differences.”
A very excited Bala Devi, who made her international debut in 2005, believes the opportunity will open doors for other Indian players in the future. “I don’t know if Rangers will select me, but I am sure other good Indian women footballers, too, will get such opportunities,” she said.
“Indian football has been growing day by day — the Indian Women’s League began in 2016, the U-17 men’s World Cup took place in India in 2017 and next year, the women’s U-17 World Cup will be held too.”
Bala Devi grabbed eyeballs in the Indian Women’s League this year when she scored 26 goals – the top scorer – for Manipur Police SC and won the Senior Women’s National Football Championship with Manipur.
Rangers finished fourth in the Scottish Women’s Premier League 1, which ended on November 17.

Man puts up 'check your nuts' Christmas lights after having testicular cancer
People have been pulling up outside the house in Trealaw and taking pictures of the Christmas decorations
by Joshua KnapmanChristian Roach decorates his house every year at Christmas time - but this year's trimmings look a little different.
The 41-year-old, from Trealaw in the Rhondda , has decided to spread a useful message, rather than a traditional festive one.
Outside his home, among all the lights, you'll find the words "check your nuts".
It comes after Christian's battle with testicular cancer, which has prompted him to spread his message, urging men to keep a check of things downstairs.
Christian said: "This time last year I had problems - I had testicular cancer. I found out this time last year.
"I went to the doctors and they said I had testicular cancer. I then had to have an operation, to have a testicle removed and I was laid up for about two months. And then I had chemotherapy.
"Now I've got to go to tests for five years."
While now, he's happy to talk openly about what happened to him, last year was a very different story.
"It hit me for six, it was hard," he said.
"Going back when I had it, if someone had said I'd be doing something like this now, I wouldn't have thought so If I'm honest.
The "check your nuts" message is important to Christian, so he decided to take it a step further than just trying to raise awareness on social media.
He receives messages daily and talks to men about what they're going through and his own experience.
And he's had lots of people stop and stare at the unusual decorations outside his home.
"I said to my partner, I'd like to put something outside the house. It started off as a bit of joke," he said.
Christian and his partner Nicola got some wood and made a sign and painted it.
He said: "Nicola trimmed it up for me, and put it outside the house.
"We've always decorated outside the house, but not to this extreme.
"The sign's got 750 lights on it so it is glowing up a bit," he laughed.
"I put a picture on Facebook and it's gone a bit crazy. We're having people pulling up outside the house and taking random pictures."

So, you’ve started using Rails’ new mime type support with responds_to, but you were wondering how to add your own custom types? Luckily, Geoffrey Grosenbach (aka topfunky) is there to show you the way. His example involves registering an extension for .png, and generating a custom icon for an order in his shopping cart with some RMagick-fu. His example looks something like this:
Mime::Type.register "image/png", :png
# then in your controller action
def show
respond_to do |format|
format.html { }
format.png { }
end
end
Mime::Type.register
will add the image/png mime type to the collection of mime types, bind it to the .png extension. It also creates a special Mime::Type instance at Mime::PNG. Check out the great post and the comments for more tips on caching and RMagick.
Note: After some investigation, I’ve found that using Geoff’s :format hack is not required on Rails 1.2 if you make the request with the :format parameter. Using routes like formatted_post_path(@post, :xml) will give you a path like “/posts/1.xml”. Accessing that will write public/posts/1.xml, regardless of what the page_cache_extension is.

Testing and documenting code that communicates with remote servers can be painful. Dealing with authentication, server state, and other complications can make testing seem too costly to bother with. But it doesn't need to be that hard. This package enables one to test all of the logic on the R sides of the API in your package without requiring access to the remote service. Importantly, it provides three contexts that mock the network connection in different ways, as well as testing functions to assert that HTTP requests were—or were not—made. It also allows one to safely record real API responses to use as test fixtures. The ability to save responses and load them offline also enables one to write vignettes and other dynamic documents that can be distributed without access to a live server.
