This plugin is a check plugin which checks the structure and interrelations of Keys in order to verify that they represent a valid configuration.
The glob plugin together with the check plugins create a good combination to check keys which are present in the KeySet. For some storage plugins like fstab, however, missing keys are as fatal as not validating keys – it is not possible to write a valid configuration file without them.
The problem can be described as a structure built with lists and other structures that must match with the key names of a KeySet. If a structure must have an element, contrary to glob, the plugin can yield an error if it is missing. During the matching, the plugin also applies metadata to the individual keys. Such plugins that check the structure and interrelations of keys are called structure checker. They can require that various subkeys have to or must not exist. This can happen recursively to specify any structure.
The struct plugin implements such a behavior. It allows enforcement of a strong consistency within the keys of one backend.
In order for the struct
plugin to do its job, it needs a plugin configuration to know which structure it should check for. This configuration can be passed from a storage plugin’s config/needs
clause.
The fstab
plugin uses the struct
plugin to verify the correct structure. Here is a snippet from it's contract:
keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct", KEY_VALUE, "list FStab", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab", KEY_META, "check/type", "null empty", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/device", KEY_META, "check/type", "string", KEY_META, "check/path", "device", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/mpoint", KEY_META, "check/type", "string", KEY_META, "check/path", "directory", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/type", KEY_META, "check/type", "FSType", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/options", KEY_META, "check/type", "string", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/dumpfreq", KEY_META, "check/type", "unsigned_short", KEY_END), keyNew ("system/elektra/modules/fstab/config/needs/struct/FStab/passno", KEY_META, "check/type", "unsigned_short", KEY_END),
The key value of needs/struct
within the plugin configuration marks the starting point. list
describes the first structure to be generated. It is a built-in structure of the struct plugin that supports all subkeys in one level. It applies to every direct subkey the structure check received by the template parameter. The template parameter is, in this case, FStab. The rest of the configuration specifies how entries of FStab must look.
The information applied to the keys is given through metadata. This metadata is copied to each key during the structure check. If, however, a key is missing, the structure check will terminate with a failure. Any additional key will also lead to an error.
The metadata may be evaluated by subsequent checks. In the situation of fstab a typechecker and a path checker are both useful.
The purpose of such structure checks is that only a valid configuration can be stored and that neither applications nor storage plugins are surprised by configuration they do not understand.
The fstab plugin trusts the fact that no invalid configuration is passed. It does not check it again. Missing configuration would lead to partially set data structures. The internally used API setmntent
crashes in that case. This leads us to the purpose of contracts: We want a guarantee that specific conditions are already met because we know that the code of the plugin cannot handle it.
Let us look at a different scenario with the same configuration. Instead of using the fstab plugin, we will use a general purpose storage plugin. For example, the dump plugin. Note that the metadata will be stored permanently in this situation. No plugin exports a config/needs
clauses for the struct plugin in this situation. But the user can add the struct plugin and the plugin configuration, as shown in the code above, to the backend manually. Applications still can be sure that only a specific configuration will be stored and passed to them. The unwritten contract is between the application and the backend. No contract checker, however, would detect the missing configuration.
This approach for defining the structure works recursively. Every element can have a value with a new structure check. Additionally, multiple template parameters can support even more generic data structures. This is, however, not yet implemented.

Welcome to our experiment ! 16 people, that is you and 15 others, have joined us.
Your decision.
You will receive 20 coins per round for 20 rounds. Each round, you will have to choose how many coins to put directly into your personal account, and how many coins to put into a group account.
Group matching with noise.
Each round you will be assigned to a new group of 4 people, that is, you and three (possibly different) others. Which group you are assigned to depends on your and others contributions to the group account, as described in the following three steps.
Step 1: Preliminary ordering.
First, a preliminary list is created on which contributions are ranked from 1 to 16 from highest contribution to lowest contribution. In case two or more players contributed equally in the same round, their relative position in the ranking will be decided randomly.
Step 2: Noisy ordering.
From your and every other player's actual contribution, we obtain a unique noisy contribution by adding an i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed) Normal variable with mean zero and variance 2. The noisy contributions are ranked from 1 to 16 from highest contribution to lowest contribution on the final list.
Step 3: Group matching.
Based on the final list, the first 4 people on that list form Group 1, the next 4 people in the list form Group 2, the third 4 people in the list form Group 3, and the last 4 people form Group 4.
Example. Suppose two people are ranked in this noisy way. Suppose person A contributes 8 and person B contributes 6. Then, the preliminary ordering is A (contribution 8) > B (contribution 6). Now, we add to each number an iid Normal variable with mean zero and variance 2 to get the noisy contributions. Suppose the draw of the two numbers gives -1.6 for A and +1.2 for B, then the final ordering is reversed: A (noisy contribution 6.4) < B (input 7.2).
Return from personal account.
Each coin that you put into your personal account each round goes one-to-one towards your final earnings in the game.
Return from group account.
Each coin that you put into the group account will pay you back some positive amount of money as described below.
The total amount of coins in your group account is equal to the sum of the contributions to the group account by each of the group members. That amount is then multiplied by 2 and distributed equally among group members. In other words, you will get a return equal to half of the group account total.
| Total number of coins in your group | Your return |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 5 |
| 15 | 7.5 |
| 28 | 14 |
| ... | ... |
| 80 | 40 |
| Any amount | Half of that amount |
Total return.
You will be paid according to the final amount of coins earned over the whole experiment. 20 coins are equal to 0.075 USD, and the maximum amount you can win is 800 coins, equivalent to 3 USD.


Manage snippet profiles¶
You can customize your database view and available features in Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) by setting up snippet profiles in the the GEE Server admin console.
Snippets are different properties and options that may be specified for a Fusion 3D database. When you connect to a database in Google Earth EC, snippets control its appearance and behavior. GEE Server lets you set your snippet preferences, then combine snippets into a snippet profile, which can then be applied to any database that you publish. The snippet profile settings then modify the database’s behavior and appearance when you connect to it in Google Earth EC.
For example, many of these preferences (or snippets) apply to display characteristics, such as showing or hiding different elements such as the Google logo or your own co-brand logo. You can also apply other settings, such as caching data on disk, enabling authentication, hiding user data in the About dialog, and specifying a reverse geocoder server URL.
Tip
Google Earth EC recognizes only the settings made by the first database that you connect to in Google Earth EC. This applies when you are connecting to multiple databases.
Warning
If you are working with multiple GEE Server users on multiple workstations, it is important to remember that snippet profiles can be accessed by all users at the same time. Be sure to coordinate with any other users to avoid overwriting snippet profile settings.
- Creating a snippet profile
- Editing snippet settings
- Table of snippet settings
- Modifying snippet profiles
- Deleting snippet profiles
To create a snippet profile:
- Access the Google Earth Enterprise Server Admin console in a browser window by going to myserver.mydomainname.com/admin, replacing myserver and mydomainname with your server and domain.
- Sign in with the default credentials or the username and
password assigned to you:
- Default username: geapacheuser
- Default password: geeadmin
Note
If you do not know your username and password, contact your Google Earth Enterprise Server System Administrator.
Click Snippet profiles to display your snippet profiles.
Click Create New. The Create new snippet profile dialog appears.
Enter a name for the new snippet profile and click the Create button. The snippet profile name appears in red in the Existing snippet profile list and the Snippet editor opens.
To edit snippet settings:
Click the Add a new snippet set to the profile drop-down to display the list of available snippets.
Select a snippet from the list. The selected snippet options are added to the current snippet profile and appear in the profile list.
You can select some snippets multiple times per profile, For example, you may want to add more than one customized logo to be displayed in Google Earth EC. For those snippets that cannot be added to a profile more than once, such as disable authentication, the snippet name is grayed out and a checkmark appears next to it in the snippet list.
Edit the snippet profile to specify values for the snippets. See the following Snippet Settings table for snippet settings.
Tip
When you add a snippet, you must enter values in the empty fields; if you want the snippet string to be empty, which is the default setting, you should not add the snippet and edit its values.
When you have finished adding snippets and specifying values for your snippet profile, click the Save changes button.
Now you can apply your snippet profile to any 3D database you publish.

For someone who’s bored to death by most kinds of business or start up talk, I was riveted by this story about a couple of guys who did it right then struggled with the moral dilemma of getting big. Well produced and presented.
Via kouky.


19 May 2006
The Ministry of Health in Indonesia has confirmed an additional case of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The case occurred in a 12-year-old boy from Bekasi in East Jakarta. He was hospitalized on 7 May and died on 13 May.
An investigation is under way to determine the source of his infection.
The newly confirmed case brings the total in Indonesia to 41. Of these cases, 32 have been fatal.


Exploring JXLayerUI
Wrapping one JXLayer into another JXLayer
-
First, a JTextPane (this text) is wrapped by a JXLayer (layer-one)
with a mouse drawing UI.
-
Then, layer-one is wrapped by a JXLayer
(layer-two) with a hide cursor UI.
-
Then, layer-two is wrapped by a JXLayer
(layer-three) with a magnifier glass UI.
- Layer-three is added to a JFrame.
A small explanation what you can do
-
Mouse drawing is performed by pressing a mouse button and moving the mouse around.
-
Via the options menu you can disable / enable the layer UIs separately.
-
Also via the options menu, you have some control over the layer UIs:
-
Mouse drawing UI:
you can clear the drawing
and you can set the color for the next lines that are drawn.
-
Hide cursor UI: you can change the timeout value
(the time that the cursor will be visible after a mouse movement).
-
Magnifier glass UI:
you can change the magnification factor
and you can change the radius of the glass.

CCNet Version 1.8.0 release notes¶
It's been a while, but we're back. The switch to the new infrastructure took some more time than anticipated, but it paid off.
Also choosing for Git as source control seems to be good choice, there are already some new contributors active, and it's a lot
easier to incorporate their work. A lot of the new features and bug fixes come from the contributors, so many thanks goes to them!
Also we start with a new numbering scheme for CCNet :
The odd versions are dev builds, like 1.7. The even numbers (like 1.8) are Release versions.
Backwards compatibility issues¶
There were a few items that broke when upgrading to 1.5 or 1.6, sorry for that.
Here's a list of those that are known to be fixed
- Nant : newline in <buildArgs> causes "Target ' ' does not exist in this project."
- Git : Merge Commits in GIT are being ignored by CCnet, causing "No modifications detected."
- CCTray : Prevent Interval Trigger from modifying cctray detail column..
- CCTray : app balloon shows always report builds even if it is set only to show warnings or errors.
- BuildPublisher : KeepLastXBuilds broken in 1.7
- Package publisher has the options flatten and baseFolder again, but these are moved to packageFile , packageFolder sub-elements
What's different, needs some attention¶
- Configuration_Preprocessor, it's best that you start every included file with :
<cb:config-template xmlns:cb="urn:ccnet.config.builder" xmlns="http://thoughtworks.org/ccnet/1/5">
look at the bottom of the Configuration_Preprocessor page for the reason,
and Skolima also made a nice post about it - if you used GIT, the first build with CCNet 1.7 will list ALL changes done. This is due to the fix of the Git repository.
Maybe it's best to delete the first build artifact, and clean up the history.xml file for each project with Git.
Or take a backup of the history.xml files, upgrade to CCNet 1.7, and place the backup's back.
Main new features¶
- xml highlighter for the BuildLog and ProjectConfiguration
- Plastic SCM 4.0 plugin
- Updating the dashboard activity status automatically (refreshinterval needs to be set in dashboard.config)
- add xsl for ms-test and mstest coverage for vs2010

Every once in a while there is a film that just plods along, and finally you realize you like it.
This film, starts, and moves, as the grandmother you just hate. No matter, since she already hates you anyway.
Tattie D. lives in a small apartment in a small town and is bored senseless with her maid, and the constant family visits of the terribly boring people who are always nice to her, which she disdains. The maid after much teasing, finally gets to clean the dusty chandelier, and of course, falls and dies ( or Tattie kicked the stepladder ) and now the old lady finally gets her wish in going to Paris. But she has to stay with her son, whom she likes, but can't stand all the same. As usual she gets to witness everything in the house ( animals, she calls them ) and turn about every good cause into a hellish nightmare for everyone. The son has a vacation planned and has to figure out a way to get someone to take care of the old lady. His sister is chosen. But the old lady can't stand her because she is a real dud ( gets pregnant and the guy walks ) and of course the real story begins. A maid is hired. A young girl with a temper, but an ability to stand up for herself, and not put up with the old lady's guff. Getting a taste of her own medicine finally gets through and the old lady becomes a bit more likeable. The girl meets an English boy, they don't speak each other's language, and the old lady happens to be able to translate. The boy is leaving, and the girl panics. The girl wants to spend a few days with him at the beach. The old lady says no. The girl speaks her mind and goes. The old lady destroys the house, and tries to kill herself. She gets taken to an old folks home where she resumes her activities of nasty old lady with a penchant for a good pastry. One day she disappears. And the next scene, she is in the Alps with the young girl, the only friend she has been able to make, and share time with.
The film has a lot of funny gags with many people, and situations, and the old lady's feet are lethal. And the actors in this film are fun to watch, as they go through their motions. Rarely has an old lady dominated so much, and then get hers in the end.
FUN FILM TO WATCH. CAREFULL, THE OLD LADY HATES YOU ALREADY.

Our History
The Apple name has always been associated with technology products. Here at Apple, we are constantly thinking of new ways to make YOUR life easier. Apple Inc., formerly known as Apple Computer Inc., is a multinational corporation that creates consumer electronics, personal computers, computer software, and commerical servers. We are also a distributor of media content. Our core product lines are the iPhone, iPad tablet computer, iPod portable media players, and Macintosh computer line. You can find more information about those products on the corresponding pages.
So who do we owe these awesome life-changing products to? Founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple Computer on April 1, 1976. The company was incorporated on January 3, 1977 in Cupertino, California. For a while, the Apple computer was predominatly a manufacturer of personal computers. Jobs instilled a corporate philosophy of recognizable products and simple design which continues to this day.

With the introduction of the successful iPod music player in 2001 and iTunes Music Store in 2003, Apple established itself as a leader in the consumer electronics and media sales industries, leading it to drop "Computer" from the company's name in 2007. The company is now also known for its iOS range of smart phone, media player, and tablet computer products that began with the iPhone, followed by the iPod Touch and then iPad. As of 2012, Apple is the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of $626 billion as of September 2012. Apple Inc's market cap is larger than that of Google and Microsoft combined. Apple's worldwide annual revenue in 2010 totaled $65 billion, growing to $127.8 billion in 2011 and $156 billion in 2012.

It’s beautiful weather here and we just went for a walk in a park nearby after setting out on the balcony with our feet on the table and reading. The walk was wonderful and refreshing and it’s nice to see the park slowly getting full again. There is even a swan breeding with the mail watching that nobody was getting too close.
The most unusual thing, for that park, was a big group of sheep though and there was one of them where we were just not sure if it was the result from an out of the ordinary mating ritual between a sheep and the watch dog. :) Meet Eric the Sheeg.

WCTYPE
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2014-01-22
Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
wctype - wide-character classification
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wctype_t wctype(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
The
wctype_t
type represents a property which a wide character may or
may not have.
In other words, it represents a class of wide characters.
This type's nature is implementation-dependent, but the special value
(wctype_t) 0
denotes an invalid property.
Nonzero
wctype_t
values
can be passed to the
iswctype(3)
function
to actually test whether a given
wide character has the property.
The
wctype()
function returns a property, given by its name.
The set of
valid names depends on the
LC_CTYPE
category of the current locale, but the
following names are valid in all locales.
"alnum" - realizes the isalnum(3) classification function
"alpha" - realizes the isalpha(3) classification function
"blank" - realizes the isblank(3) classification function
"cntrl" - realizes the iscntrl(3) classification function
"digit" - realizes the isdigit(3) classification function
"graph" - realizes the isgraph(3) classification function
"lower" - realizes the islower(3) classification function
"print" - realizes the isprint(3) classification function
"punct" - realizes the ispunct(3) classification function
"space" - realizes the isspace(3) classification function
"upper" - realizes the isupper(3) classification function
"xdigit" - realizes the isxdigit(3) classification function
RETURN VALUE
The
wctype()
function returns a property descriptor
if the
name
is valid.
Otherwise, it returns
(wctype_t) 0.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The
wctype()
function is thread-safe with exceptions.
It can be safely used in multithreaded applications, as long as
setlocale(3)
is not called to change the locale during its execution.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of
wctype()
depends on the
LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.

DevBootcamp - Cultural Blog #7
My Values in Life
DevBootcamp asked me, "Think of the times in your life where you've been the happiest, proudest, or most satisfied." And my simple answer is . . .
--Challenge--
"In our lifetime, we can see that there are two types of people in this world: autonomous or robotic. Challenge is the key to becoming autonomous." - Nam Hoang Nguyen.
Imagine your heart is racing at the sound of the crowd cheering. The gun fired, "BANG!" You have trained your heart and soul to beat all the other cross-country runners by putting yourself through the test. And finally, as you cross that finish line as the #1 runner, you begin to jump in an uproar at how you have FINALLY done it!  That happened to me, although not at the olympic level. The thought of not giving up once, and giving your best shot even if you know that the challenge is against you, you still do it and won. That feeling is breath-taking.
If Steve Jobs never challenged himself to create the Mac, he would still follow other's people's orders and no advancements would be made. If man never dared or rather challenged himself or challenged the world around him, he would never create anything anew.
To challenge yourself is to push your limits. If you choose to NOT be a normal person, challenge is the key. Challenge knows no discrimination. It knows no man nor woman, nor race, nor age. I choose to continually challenge myself because I care about discovering more about myself and what I am capable of. I dream the dream and so does many others. But how you accomplish the dream is through action. When I crave the challenge, I dispelled my fear. Only through this means has my dream became more real to me, rather than me at the beach during sunset trying to grab the sun.


 Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars. |
| 009:107 Maulana | : |
And those who built a mosque to cause harm (to Islam) and (to help) disbelief, and to cause disunion among the believers, and a refuge for him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before. And they will certainly swear: We desired naught but good. And Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars. |
| 009:107 Pickthal | : |
And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars. |
| 009:107 Rashad | : |
There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship, dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose GOD and His messenger. They solemnly swear: "Our intentions are honorable!" GOD bears witness that they are liars. |
| 009:107 Sarwar | : |
The mosque which some of the hypocrites have established is only to harm people, to spread disbelief, to create discord among the believers, to wait for the one who fought against God and His Messenger, and to make others believe that it has been established with their good intentions. But God testifies that they are liars. |
| 009:107 Shakir | : |
And those who built a masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before; and they will certainly swear: We did not desire aught but good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars. |
| 009:107 Sherali | : |
And among the Hypocrites are those who have built a mosque in order to injure Islam and help disbelief and to cause a division among the believers, and to prepare an ambush for him who warred against ALLAH and HIS Messenger before this. And they will surely swear; 'We meant nothing but good;' But ALLAH bears witness that they are certainly liars. |
| 009:107 Yusufali | : |
And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity - to disunite the Believers - and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars. |

NLP and Deep Learning Tricks¶
This repository aims to keep track of some practical and theoretical tricks in natural language processing (NLP) / deep learning / machine learning, etc. Most of these tricks are summarized by members of our group, while some others are borrowed from open-source sites.
Data prepossessing¶
Network architecture¶
Seq2Seq¶
Some tricks to train RNN and seq2seq models:
- Embedding size: 1024 or 512. Lower dimensionality like 256 can also lead to good performances. Higher does not necessarily lead to better performances.
- For the decoder: LSTM > GRU > Vanilla-RNN
- 2-4 layers seems generally enough. Deeper models with residual connections seems more difficult to converge (high variance). More tricks needs to be discovered.
- ResD (dense residual connections) > Res (only connected to previous layer) > no residual connections
- For encoder: Bidirectional > Unidirectional (reversed input) > Unidirectional
- Attention (additive) > Attention (multiplicative) > No attention. Authors suggest that attention act more as a skip connection mechanism than as a memory for the decoder.
Ref
Massive Exploration of Neural Machine Translation Architectures, Denny Britz, Anna Goldie et al.
For seq2seq, reverse the order of the input sequence (['I', 'am', 'hungry'] becomes ['hungry', 'am', 'I']). Keep the target sequence intact.
Why
From the authors: "This way, [...] that makes it easy for SGD to “establish communication” between the input and the output. We found this simple data transformation to greatly improve the performance of the LSTM."
Ref
Sequence to Sequence Learning with Neural Networks, Ilya Sutskever et al.
Char-RNN¶
By training in an unsupervised way a network to predict the next character of a text (char-RNN), the network will learn a representation which can then be used for a supervised task (here sentiment analysis).
Ref
Learning to Generate Reviews and Discovering Sentiment, Ilya Sutskever et al.
Parameters¶
Learning rate¶
The learning rate can be usually initialized as 0.0001, 0.0003, 0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1(3x growing up). A strategy used to select the hyperparameters is to randomly sample them (uniformly or logscale) and see the testing error after a few epoch.
Beam size¶
Usually set from 2 to 10. The larger beam size, the higher computational cost.
Regularization¶
Dropout¶
To make Dropout works with RNN, it should only be applied on non-recurrent connections (between layers among a same timestep) [1]. Some more recent paper propose some tricks to make dropout works for recurrent connections[2].
Ref
[1]. Recurrent Neural Network Regularization, Wojciech Zaremba et al. [2]. Recurrent Dropout without Memory Loss, Stanislau Semeniuta et al.
Batch normalization¶
adding a new normalization layer. Some additional tricks for accelerating BN Networks: * Increase the learning rate * Remove/reduce Dropout: speeds up training, without increasing overfitting * Remove/Reduce the L2 weight regularization * Accelerate the learning rate decay: because the network trains faster * Remove Local Response Normalization * Shuffle training examples more thoroughly: prevents the same examples from always appearing in a mini-batch together. (The authors speak about 1% improvements in the validation) * Reduce the photometric distortions
Why
Some good explanation at Quora.
Reinforcement learning¶
Asynchronous¶
Train simultaneously multiple agents with different exploration policies (e.g., E-greedy with different values of epsilon) improve the robustness.
Ref
Asynchronous Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning, V. Mnih.
Skip frame¶
Compute the action every 4 frames instead of every frames. For the other frames, repeat the action.
Why
Works well on Atari games, when the player reactivity doesn't need to be frame perfect. Using this trick allows to greatly speed up the training (About x4).
Ref
History¶
Instead of only taking the current frame as input, stack the last frames together on a single input (size (h, w, c) with 1 grayscale frame by channel). Combined with a skip frame (repeat action) of 4, that means we would stack the frames t, t-4, t-8 and t-12.
Why
This allows the network to have some momentum information.
Ref
Deep Reinforcement Learning with Double Q-learning, V. Mnih.
Experience Replay¶
Instead of updating every frames as the agent plays, to avoid correlations between the frames, it's better to sample a batch in the history of the transition taken (state, actionTaken, reward, nextState). This is basically the same idea as shuffling the dataset before training for supervised tasks. Some strategies exist to sample batches which contain more information (in the sense predicted reward different from real reward).
Ref
Prioritized Experience Replay, Tom Schaul et al.
PAAC (Parallel Advantage Actor Critic)¶
It's possible to simplify the the A3C algorithm by batching the agent experiences and using a single model with synchronous updates.
Ref
Efficient Parallel Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning, Alfredo V. Clemente et al.


Sticking up posters all over campus is what the IOP is best known for. These black and white signs turn up whenever Arthur Galpin is running for something, or whenever we feel like it. Print them yourself, put them up, and scare some animate objects! As of 2011, there are 200 posters in the collection!
Instructions
If you are going to put up signs, you should be familiar with the Institute sign policies; inflatablewhale.org does not currently advise civil disobedience. Simply put, you may put signs on the various sign boards around campus. You may also tape them to the CII, the DCC, and the JEC. Duct tape should only be used on brick surfaces. Use masking tape or painter's tape for everywhere else. If you are going to put signs on the footbridge, use the sign holders (no posting to railings) and limit your number. You cannot put signs in the Union building unless the Union approves them (go to the union office and see what they say). Posting signs on most academic buildings, the Commons, and the Freshman Hill dorms is not permitted except during campaigning season. Putting up signs inside your dorm requires permission from your RA, unless you are posting on your own door.
In addition, any sign must give contact information for whoever posted it, and a date when it can be taken down. Having "www.inflatablewhale.org" in the corner satisfies the contact requirement. For the takedown requirement, write a date on a corner when you put it up. This date should be the day 15 days after the sign is posted. If you leave off either contact or takedown date it will likely be ripped down as being in violation.
As for the technical side, these posters are generally monochrome PNG images which can be easily printed at any campus printer, though using your own printer is recommended. When putting them up, remember that the campus is usually windy. Poorly secured signs can easily be blown away. There are certain strategic locations where signs are more visible; try to take advantage of these.

This code was used for making the practical
measurements in section 2.3 of my thesis. This Matlab code allows an OFDM
signal to be generated based on an input data file. The data can be random
data, a grey scale image, a wave file, or any type of file. The generated
OFDM signal is stored as a windows wave file, allowing it to be viewed,
listened to and manipulated in other programs. The modified wave file can
then be decoded by the receiver software to extract the original data.
This code was developed for the experiments that I performed in my honours
thesis, and thus has not been fully debugged.
This is the original code developed for
the thesis and so has several problems with it. The BER performance given
by the simulations is infact Symbol Error Rate.

This code was used for generating the
performance graphs shown in my thesis. I have updated it to run on Matlab
5.3, however it should still run on Matlab 4. The OFDM simulations are
each in a different directory. The cdma code uses generalised code that
allows for various different tests. The BER performance given by the simulations
is infact Symbol Error Rate.

Halide
|
halide_scalar_value_t is a simple union able to represent all the well-known scalar values in a filter argument.
Note that it isn't tagged with a type; you must ensure you know the proper type before accessing. Most user code will never need to create instances of this struct; its primary use is to hold def/min/max values in a halide_filter_argument_t. (Note that this is conceptually just a union; it's wrapped in a struct to ensure that it doesn't get anonymized by LLVM.)

CSS3 Flexible Box
CSS3 Flexbox
Flexible boxes, or flexbox, is a new layout mode in CSS3.
Use of flexbox ensures that elements behave predictably when the page layout must accommodate different screen sizes and different display devices.
For many applications, the flexible box model provides an improvement over the block model in that it does not use floats, nor do the flex container's margins collapse with the margins of its contents.
Browser Support
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the feature.
Numbers followed by -webkit- or -moz- specify the first version that worked with a prefix.
| Property | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic support (single-line flexbox) |
29.0 21.0 -webkit- |
12.0 | 11.0 | 22.0 18.0 -moz- |
6.1 -webkit- | 12.1 -webkit- |
| Multi-line flexbox | 29.0 21.0 -webkit- |
12.0 | 11.0 | 28.0 | 6.1 -webkit- | 17.0 15.0 -webkit- 12.1 |
CSS3 Flexbox Concepts
Flexbox consists of flex containers and flex items.
A flex container is declared by setting the display
property of
an element to either flex
(rendered as a block) or
inline-flex
(rendered as inline).
Inside a flex container there is one or more flex items.
Note: Everything outside a flex container and inside a flex item is rendered as usual. Flexbox defines how flex items are laid out inside a flex container.
Flex items are positioned inside a flex container along a flex line. By default there is only one flex line per flex container.
The following example shows three flex items. They are positioned by default: along the horizontal flex line, from left to right:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>

flex item 1

flex item 2

flex item 3

It is also possible to change the direction of the flex line.
If we set the direction
property to rtl
(right-to-left), the text is drawn right to left,
and also the flex line changes
direction, which will change the page layout:
Example
body {
direction: rtl;
}
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
.flex-item
{
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
}
Flex Direction
The flex-direction
property specifies the direction of the
flexible items inside the flex container. The
default value of flex-direction
is row
(left-to-right,
top-to-bottom).
The other values are as follows:
row-reverse
- If the writing-mode (direction) is left to right, the flex items will be laid out right to leftcolumn
- If the writing system is horizontal, the flex items will be laid out verticallycolumn-reverse
- Same as column, but reversed
The following example shows the result of using the row-reverse
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: row-reverse;
flex-direction:
row-reverse;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the column
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
flex-direction:
column;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the column-reverse
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: column-reverse;
flex-direction:
column-reverse;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The justify-content Property
The justify-content
property horizontally aligns the flexible
container's items when the items do not use all available space on the
main-axis.
The possible values are as follows:
flex-start
- Default value. Items are positioned at the beginning of the containerflex-end
- Items are positioned at the end of the containercenter
- Items are positioned at the center of the containerspace-between
- Items are positioned with space between the linesspace-around
- Items are positioned with space before, between, and after the lines
The following example shows the result of using the flex-end
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: flex-end;
justify-content:
flex-end;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the center
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
justify-content:
center;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the space-between
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: space-between;
justify-content:
space-between;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the space-around
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: space-around;
justify-content:
space-around;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The align-items Property
The align-items
property vertically aligns the flexible container's items when the items do not use
all available space on the cross-axis.
The possible values are as follows:
stretch
- Default value. Items are stretched to fit the containerflex-start
- Items are positioned at the top of the containerflex-end
- Items are positioned at the bottom of the containercenter
- Items are positioned at the center of the container (vertically)baseline
- Items are positioned at the baseline of the container
The following example shows the result of using the stretch
value
(this is the default value):
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-align-items: stretch;
align-items:
stretch;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the flex-start
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-align-items: flex-start;
align-items:
flex-start;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the flex-end
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-align-items: flex-end;
align-items:
flex-end;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the center
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items:
center;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the baseline
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-align-items: baseline;
align-items:
baseline;
width:
400px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The flex-wrap Property
The flex-wrap
property specifies whether the flex items should wrap or not, if there is not enough room for them on one flex line.
The possible values are as follows:
nowrap
- Default value. The flexible items will not wrapwrap
- The flexible items will wrap if necessarywrap-reverse
- The flexible items will wrap, if necessary, in reverse order
The following example shows the result of using the nowrap
value
(this is the default value):
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-wrap: nowrap;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
width:
300px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the wrap
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
width:
300px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The following example shows the result of using the wrap-reverse
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap-reverse;
flex-wrap:
wrap-reverse;
width:
300px;
height: 250px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
The align-content Property
The align-content
property modifies the behavior of the
flex-wrap
property. It is similar to align-items
, but
instead of aligning flex items, it aligns flex lines.
The possible values are as follows:
stretch
- Default value. Lines stretch to take up the remaining spaceflex-start
- Lines are packed toward the start of the flex containerflex-end
- Lines are packed toward the end of the flex containercenter
- Lines are packed toward the center of the flex containerspace-between
- Lines are evenly distributed in the flex containerspace-around
- Lines are evenly distributed in the flex container, with half-size spaces on either end
The following example shows the result of using the center
value:
Example
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap:
wrap;
-webkit-align-content: center;
align-content:
center;
width:
300px;
height: 300px;
background-color:
lightgrey;
}
Flex Item Properties
Ordering
The order
property specifies the order of a flexible item
relative to the rest of the flexible items inside the same container:
Example
.flex-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
}
.first {
-webkit-order: -1;
order: -1;
}
Margin
Setting margin: auto;
will absorb extra space. It can be used to push flex items into different positions.
In the following example we set margin-right: auto;
on the
first flex item. This will cause all the extra space to be absorbed to the right of that element:
Example
.flex-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
margin: 10px;
}
.flex-item:first-child {
margin-right: auto;
}
Perfect Centering
In the following example we will solve an almost daily problem: perfect centering.
It is very easy with flexbox. Setting margin: auto;
will make
the item perfectly centered in both axis:
Example
.flex-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
margin: auto;
}
align-self
The align-self
property of flex items overrides the flex
container's align-items property for that item. It has the same possible values
as the align-items
property.
The following example sets different align-self values to each flex item:
Example
.flex-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 60px;
min-height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
}
.item1 {
-webkit-align-self: flex-start;
align-self:
flex-start;
}
.item2 {
-webkit-align-self: flex-end;
align-self: flex-end;
}
.item3 {
-webkit-align-self: center;
align-self: center;
}
.item4 {
-webkit-align-self:
baseline;
align-self: baseline;
}
.item5 {
-webkit-align-self: stretch;
align-self: stretch;
}
flex
The flex
property specifies the length of the flex item,
relative to the rest of the flex items inside the same container.
In the following example, the first flex item will consume 2/4 of the free space, and the other two flex items will consume 1/4 of the free space each:
Example
.flex-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
margin: 10px;
}
.item1 {
-webkit-flex: 2;
flex: 2;
}
.item2 {
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
}
.item3 {
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
}

This page is an example of how cubes can be resized both vertically and horizontally based on a percentage of the window width. These cubes are set at 20 and 25 percent respectively (decimal numbers are also allowed for more exact sizing).
The resizing is done by a small bit of CSS, see source code of this page for details. There is a minimum width defined for first cube which is 80 pixels.

Next 2 cubes are a little larger because the height is increased to adjust
for the button bar and slider (see best appearance recommendation in the Using Simulator in Web Pages section in AnimCubeJS documentation).

Our thought about Wonders of Nature
Ten reasons for why we feel so good in Nature
Earth, rivers, mountains and trees! Silent canyons, babbling creeks and growing green gardens! If you spend time in nature, you've probably noticed that you feel happier out there than in here.
But why? One of the better known theories, the “biophilia hypothesis," suggests that we love nature because we evolved in it. We need it for our psychological well-being because it's in our DNA. This theory rings true to me. But it's so broad, it also leaves me grasping for more. What is it about nature and our relationship to it, that brings us so much joy?
I've been asking this question for some years now. I've studied Ecopsychology, wilderness therapy and nature-based therapy. In my private psychotherapy practice, I work with clients in nature and bear witness to their experiences. And personally, I spend as much time as I can in nature. Putting all of this together, I've developed my own ideas about why nature makes us feel good and helps us heal. Here are the top ten:
10. Nature teaches you that there is nothing wrong with you.
Consider:
When you're in nature, you don't have to look in mirrors. Instead, you're either focused on the setting around you, or on what you are doing, like climbing, setting up a tent, or gardening. Studies show that people's body image improves when we spend time in nature, and I think this is part of the reason why.
When you're alone in nature, or with a loving friend or group of people, you get sweet relief from sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, and all the other ways we oppress, stigmatize and belittle one another.
On the contrary, nature displays incredible diversity in all her glory. There are fat trees and skinny ones, short ones and tall ones. Within a single clump of yellow flowers, you might see a pink one and realize that it's a mutation. In nature, we don't say 'How wrong! That flower is different; that tree is fat!' Instead, we say, 'How beautiful!' This impacts us below the level of thought.
9. Time slows down.
Urgency, deadlines and “clock time," as measured by hours, minutes and seconds, melt away. Clocks teach us to abandon the natural rhythms of our bodies and the Earth and conform to a schedule rooted in our economic system. That creates a lot of stress.
On the flip side, nature models a healthier pace of life. Trees and plants grow s – l – o – w – l – y. Deer graze calmly. Rabbits and squirrels scamper about, but that is their natural pace. Everyone is moving according to their natural rhythm, and you begin to do the same.
8. Nature models “just enough" sustainability.
Our culture teaches us that we never have enough. We strive to make more money, buy more things, eat more delicious food. Mainstream culture also encourages us not to think about how this over-consumption affects others, such as the sweatshop laborers who make our clothes, or the people and animals who depend on a climate in balance.
In contrast, eco systems embody harmony and balance. Trees grow to a height that reflects the nutrients and water immediately available. Squirrels store the right amount of food to get them through the winter. (Imagine how absurd it would be if squirrels expected their collection of nuts to grow exponentially without any effort on their part—as we do with our investments!) Quietly witnessing this balance and harmony is like salve in the wound of overconsumption.
7. You surrender comfort and control.
Our culture propagates the harmful myth that we should strive to be as comfortable as possible, to make life as pleasurable possible, and to resist hardship as much as possible. No myth has made us unhappier as a people. We simply can't be pleasured or comfortable all the time. We can't control everything. Trying to achieve permanent comfort and control leads to a dull, meaningless life that kills the soul.
Nature calls you back to reality. You can't stop it from raining. You can't delay the setting sun. You can't set the temperature to a comfortable 70 degrees. If you're climbing a mountain, your muscles are going to burn.But with this surrender comes such relief!  You remember that hardship and lack of control are part of life, and accepting this reality makes it not only bearable, but possible to feel the joy of being alive.
6. Nature reminds you of death so you can appreciate your life and its natural cycles.
In the U.S., we do everything we can to avoid the knowledge that we, and everyone we love, are going to die.  And, behold!—they're nursing young plants to life. You walk through a burn area and see a profusion of wildflowers thriving in the newly enriched soil. You might even see animal skulls and bones. When we come face to face with death, we value our own life more, the present moment more, and experience surges of joy to be alive. Many cancer survivors know this truth well from a harsh encounter with death. Nature eases us into this reality.
5. As the noise of our crazy culture fades, your mind calms and you experience silence and stillness. What a relief! Enough said.
4. You behold the beauty of nature.
How is such majesty possible? The strength of that mountain, standing there for all those years! The miracle of this single flower, infused with sunlight. The revelation of a tree, rooted deep in the earth, stretching to the sky, and bearing silent witness to the world around it! You feel awe and joy and are whole again.
3. You remember that you are connected to all living things.
You feel that you belong to this Earth. That you are part of the community of nature. You are made of the same substance, and that you are no better—and no worse—than that bird, that tree, that other human walking up the trail.
2.
 The mask you present to the outer world is irrelevant for a time, and put in its proper place.
1. You experience the Divine.
Whether you call it God, Earth Mother, the Great Mystery or by another name, nature helps you to connect with this powerful, loving presence. You might feel this presence loving and supporting you. You might receive guidance and wisdom. Nature brings you closer to our own spirit and to Spirit.
These are the reasons why I believe we are so happy in the natural world. This is why nature heals, and helps us to live lives of meaning and joy.

Scallops and cauliflower is a surprisingly good combination, served here with a creamy cumin sauce that's sure to impress.
For the sousing liquid, add the olive oil to a large saucepan and sweat the shallot without colouring. Add the thyme and bay leaf and continue to cook for another minute.
Add the honey, white wine vinegar, salt, peppercorns and 600ml/20fl oz water. Bring to a rolling boil for 10 minutes, then pass through a sieve into a clean saucepan and set aside to cool.
Add the cauliflower florets to the cooled liquid and bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the florets are soft, then leave to cool in the liquid.
Remove the cauliflower from the liquid and pat dry. Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Add the butter and the cauliflower and cook until caramelised. Set aside until ready to serve.
For the caramelised cauliflower purée, place the cauliflower in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer until fully cooked.
Strain the cauliflower over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquor.
Place the cauliflower into a blender and blend to a fine purée.
Put a frying pans onto the heat and add the butter. Add the purée and fry until it stars to caramelise, whisking occasionally.
When the mixture is nice and brown, return the purée to the blender and blitz once more until very fine and smooth.
Add a little truffle oil and, if necessary, thin the purée by adding a little cooking liquor. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the cumin velouté, add a third of the butter to a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots, cumin and a pinch of salt. Fry until softened but not coloured. Add the mushrooms and cook until slippery.
Add the fish stock, bring to the boil and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by half. Add the wine and reduce by a third.
Add the cream, bring to the boil and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pass through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan then whisk in the remaining butter and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the scallops, season the scallops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the scallops for two minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.
For the cumin velouté, use a hand blender to form a froth.
To serve, spread some cauliflower purée in the middle of each plate then place the scallops and caramelised cauliflower around. Dress the chives and micro herbs with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper and place over the scallops. Drizzle with a little truffle oil and dots of the velouté froth, then serve.

THE DIPLOMAT A film review by Julia Levin Copyright 2001 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
The Australian documentary The Diplomat gives a nearly complete overview of the situation in East Timor up to its August 1999 elections. It starts with the historical background of this small island's tribulations: Since the 16th century until 1975, the island was a Portuguese colony. Then, with the end of the Portuguese revolution, East Timor declared its independence and was immediately invaded by Indonesia, its giant neighbor.
The focus of the film is Josť Ramos Horta, a political activist who represents the Eastern Timorese Resistance historic leader, Xanana Gusmao, who was imprisoned in Indonesia for a 20-year sentence. Horta is a 1996 Nobel Prize winner who has been fighting for the independence of this little-known island for 24 years.
The most compelling aspect of the film is its ability to convey how the tragic events of East Timor and its desperate struggle for independence have been largely ignored by the world. Since East Timor has no army to support its claims for autonomy, Horta says it must have been an act of God that his people had survived.
Horta's life is that of a peripatetic fighter who is exiled from the country the independence of which is his life mission. The challenge of Horta's mission is accentuated by the fact that there is no unity among the leaders of East Timor; some of them are satisfied by living in a country annexed to its oppressors, others are adamant to fight for complete independence till the end. The film follows Horta, almost always dog-tired, from one conference on the East Timorese crisis to another and intersperses Horta's diplomatic career with footage of hot events happening in East Timor: President Suharto resigns, Habibie takes his place, nothing changes. Indonesia itself has enough to worry about and when its economic crisis reaches the bottom of the barrel, Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas is sent to deliver to the world promises of security and protection for East Timor.
While Horta's mother, Natalina, recollects how Indonesian militia attacked her residence and took the lives of her children, the actual footage testifies the acts of barbaric genocide that took place on the island. The film hits all the appropriate strings by conveying how murder, torture, rape, all kinds of physical, sexual, and psychological violations have been the daily life of the people of East Timor. It clearly exemplifies the frightening hypocrisy of the Indonesian government which declares the crisis stable while more and more people are being brutally executed.
Unfortunately, up until the depiction of the 1999 democratic election in East Timor, the film more or less plods along. It is only then that the film picks up the pace by showing that just four hours after the official announcement, the defeated militia gangs start to set East Timor on fire. There is a moment of almost sublime irony when President Bill Clinton visits Indonesia with the intention to stop the genocide and bring UN peacekeeping forces to the country. He is greeted with a military ceremony that, in my opinion, signifies the irreconcilable difference between the East and the West.
Ironically, the portrait of Josť Ramos Horta, an indefatigable fighter who broke the silence about East Timor in the (disinterested) Western press, doesn't come out as memorable or inspiring. Unquestionably, the film is very effective and involving due to its subject matter, without a mawkish triumph-of-the-human-spirit agenda being pushed. But what should have been a celebration of human tenacity comes out as an intelligent film, though with a somewhat insipid portrayal of its hero.
