TL;DR
You can use Docker to push packages to a NuGet feed. This blog post shows how to release a NuGet package to Amazon CodeArtifact via Docker. Source code can be found at https://github.com/NikiforovAll/docker-release-container-sample.
General
The idea behind having a release container is pretty straightforward - you can bundle artifacts and tools so the release mechanism is portable and unified because of Docker. Also, another advantage of building NuGet packages in Docker is that you don’t need any dependencies installed on the build-server itself. I invite you to read Andrew’s Lock post to get more details about the use case (https://andrewlock.net/pushing-nuget-packages-built-in-docker-by-running-the-container/). This blog post is focused on the practical side, let’s dive into it by reviewing the Dockerfile:
- Base layer is used for publishing. It contains
aws-cli
and credential provider (AWS.CodeArtifact.NuGet.CredentialProvider
) so we can deploy to private NuGet feed as described in here. Please see the excellent guide on how to work with Docker and NuGet feeds https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/blob/main/documentation/scenarios/nuget-credentials.md. - Build layer is used for building and packing.
- Entrypoint defines custom publishing script, essentially,
dotnet nuget push
is called. Note that, you can specify additional arguments. (e.g: override--source
or provide--api-key
).

ENTRYPOINT ["./publish-nuget.sh"]
CMD ["--source", "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"]
Before we produce artifact, we need to specify version. Let’s use GitVersion
to get the build version.
$ Version=`docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/repo" gittools/gitversion:5.6.6 /repo \
| tr { '\n' | tr , '\n' | tr } '\n' \
| grep "NuGetVersion" \
| awk -F'"' '{print $4}' | head -n1` && echo $Version
# out
1.0.1
After that, we are ready to build the release container (image)
$ docker build -f ./src/ReleaseContainerSample/Dockerfile \
--build-arg Version="$Version" \
-t release-container-example .
# check the result
$ docker image list
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
release-container-example latest 7ca4acd3845b 43 seconds ago 1.12GB
You can peek inside release container by running:
$ docker run --rm --entrypoint '/bin/ls' --name release-container-sample release-container-example
# out
ReleaseContainerSample.1.0.1.nupkg
ReleaseContainerSample.1.0.1.symbols.nupkg
publish-nuget.sh
🚀 Publish.
docker run --rm \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="" \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="" \
-e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="eu-central-1" \
--name release-container-sample release-container-example \
--source "https://codeartifact.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/nuget/codeartifact-repository/v3/index.json"
# Alternatively, you can use public NuGet repository.
docker run --rm \
--name release-container-sample release-container-example \
--source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" --api-key "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
Summary
In this blog post, I showed how you can build NuGet packages via Docker, and push them to your NuGet feed when you run the container.
Pros:
- Easy to release. The solution is portable. It’s our goal after all.
- Extendable approach. You are in charge of how to build NuGet package and can install all required tools and dependencies when you need it.
Cons:
- Images can be quite sizable. Additional space is required to release containers, so a retention policy should be applied.
- Adds unnecessary complexity if you already use dotnet toolchain and you have all dependencies installed on build server.

In this v3 data release, we provide simulated NIRCam WFSS observations for four CEERS pointings. We provide the input models, raw data, calibrated count rate maps, and extracted spectra. We also provide updated NIRCam imaging in one CEERS pointing. This NIRCam imaging update includes improved input photometry, additional depth in two filters, and pixel-aligned mosaics in all filters.
In this v2 data release, we provide simulated NIRSpec MSA observations for one CEERS pointing. We provide fully reduced and calibrated spectra in all CEERS filter/grating configurations as well as Jupyter notebooks showing how to reduce the data through the JWST Calibration Pipeline.
Coming soon: NIRCam WFSS simulalations, created with MIRAGE
Future expected data releases
We plan to release NIRSpec MSA simulations for all 6 CEERS NIRSpec pointings and MSA simulations that include some extended sources in a future data release.
HST Data Release v1 (HDR1)
Released: February, 2022
V1 data release
In this v1 data release, we provide HST mosaics in 6 filters (ACS/WFC F606W, F814W and WFC3/IR F105W, F125W, F140W, F160W), all pixel aligned with astrometry tied to Gaia-EDR3.
CEERS has 10 NIRCam pointings, shown in blue in the figure above with each module labeled with the pointing number. Pointings 1-6 are taken in parallel to prime NIRSpec MSA observations (shown in green), while pointings 7-10 are taken in parallel to prime MIRI imaging observations (shown in red). We also observe pointings 5-8 with the NIRCam WFSS (outlined in cyan) with MIRI imaging in parallel. While the CEERS observing configuration will not be finalized until after launch and Cy1 scheduling, we adopt the June 2022 configuration (above) for our simulations.
V1 data release
In this v1 data release, we provide simulated raw CEERS data for one pointing of NIRCam imaging and six pointings of MIRI imaging. We provide readme files for each instrument mode, Jupyter notebooks showing how to reduce the raw data through the JWST Calibration Pipeline, and the mock catalog of JWST photometry and galaxy properties that is used as input for the simulations. We presented these data products as part of JWebbinar 13: CEERS NIRCam and MIRI Imaging.
We plan to release the full CEERS NIRCam imaging mosaic (all 10 pointings), all four NIRCam WFSS pointings, and NIRSpec MSA simulations in a future data release.


Born on March 31, 1685 (N.S.), in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, Johann Sebastian Bach had a prestigious musical lineage and took on various organist positions during the early 18th century, creating famous compositions like "Toccata and Fugue in D minor." Some of his best-known compositions are the "Mass in B Minor," the "Brandenburg Concertos" and "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Bach died in Leipzig, Germany, on July 28, 1750. Today, he is considered one of the greatest Western composers of all time.
Johann Sebastian Bach's music lives on today thanks to his amazing catalogue of concertos, choral, organ and keyboard works.
This website was made to commemorate Bach and his famous works of musical art that he created that have inspired many people. Below, we have a list of tour dates of concertos that will be performed by well known musicians in various parts of the world.

0.1.1What is the is_gd ruby library?
- is_gd is a library to minify URLs using http://is.gd service.
- More info here on the API itself: http://is.gd/api_info.php
This is such a simple library, it doesn’t need much explanation at all. There are two modes:
- You give it a URL, and it will give you back a URL minified with is.gd
IsGd.minify(‘www.google.com’) (returns: ‘http://is.gd/2’) - You give it an is.gd minified URL and it will tell you the source URL.
IsGd.un_minify(‘http://is.gd/2’) (returns: ‘http://www.google.com’)
Developer’s Site
Install it!
sudo gem install is_gd
Use it!

Deep Impact (1998) Rated PG-13 for disaster related elements and brief language ---------- Out of 4 stars: *1/2 (1.5 Stars)
Starring: Tea Leoni, Robert Duvall, Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman.
---------------------------------------
Warning: Spoilers are included in this review... but it doesn't really make much of a difference.
DEEP IMPACT begins the official summer movie season, and it also brings back memories of 1997. Remember when DANTE'S PEAK came out in February? A few months later, VOLCANO was released. The first film was smart, exhilirating, and one of the best disaster films I had ever seen. The latter film was an incohesive mess that defied logic and wasted talent.  This time, unfortunately, the first comet flick is so bad that people may shy away from ARMAGEDDON, the upcoming comet-disaster to be released the beginning of July.
Of course, the general reaction of the audience was oppposed to mine, and so I am in the minority, as I was when I stood on the side of DANTE'S PEAK. But while watching DEEP IMPACT, I began to wonder how anyone in their right mind could actually like this film. Apparently many did, and it utterly baffles me. To be completely honest, I haven't had this little fun watching a disaster film in my entire life. VOLCANO had implausibilities up the wazoo, but it was still rather fun to watch. DEEP IMPACT doesn't just have implausibilities, it also contains cheap human drama, incredibly horrible special effects, and a poorly constructed plot. The only thing that gives it a half star above my bottom ranking is a slightly entertaining final fifteen minutes and some good actors making the most of their characters.
DEEP IMPACT begins in an unnamed year (the year varies; advanced technology sets it in the future, but FIRE IN THE SKY is showing on a local movie theater, pushing it back to 1993). A line of students is outside at night, peering through telescopes at the dark sky above. Among these are Leo Biederman (Elijah Wood) and Sarah Hotchner (Leelee Sobieski). Leo unknowingly discovers a comet, and his teacher sends a photo of the unknown object to an astronomer, who then is able to determine the correct path of this distant comet in about a few seconds. He races off to mail the information, but is killed in a reckless car accident. A year passes, and nothing is heard about it again.
We are then introduced to Jenny Lerner (Téa Leoni), a reporter for MSNBC. She gets handed a job to investigate a possible cover-up in the government involving Senator Alan Rittenhouse (James Cromwell). She talks to a woman who mentions that Rittenhouse was having an affair with a girl named Ellie. After talking with Rittenhouse, and unsatisfied with the information she gets, she decides to use the Internet for help. Luckily, she knows exactly how to spell the certain "Ellie" that she is looking for (they spell it ELE in the film... that girl is pretty darn smart for guessing how it was spelled). Before she can use the information, the government decides to push her car off the road. They take her in to meet the President of the United States, President Beck (Morgan Freeman). Beck recommends that Jenny keep the information secret for 48 hours so they can confirm it and then hold a press conference. Naturally, she wants to be compensated, and they offer her a front row seat and the chance for the first question.
 They announce a plan called "ARK," which is their only hope for survival. A computer will select 800,000 people at random.  After two years, the dust will settle (actually, it would take much, much longer--approximately ninety years, from what I understand) and the humans could come back to the surface and start over. The rest of the plot is your standard disaster film procedures, but there is one subplot worth mentioning. Jenny and her father, Jason (Maximilian Schell), have a very touching relationship that forms out of the impending doom. The final moment involving the two characters is heartfelt and emotional. It's a shame that nothing else is heartfelt. Now, of course, we all know that the comet does impact the surface. The title alone suggests it, and the previews actually show it! By doing this, absoltuely no tension can be drawn from any attempt to stop the comet because we all know that it won't work.
Director Mimi Leder came from her successful tries at direction with episodes of the hit television show "ER." Her major film debut was THE PEACEMAKER, a pathetic and heartless action film. Well, this time Leder outdid herself, creating a film worse than that one. Suggestion to Ms. Leder: Please, stay away from the big screen, or at least the action genre. Much of the blame can be placed on Leder directly, because the pace is disastrously off. Throughout the film we are given subtitles that tell us how much time has passed (it goes from months to weeks to hours). It literally feels like this lapsed time is taking place in real-time--it's that boring. Of course, Leder isn't all to blame for it. Screenwriters Michael Tolkin and Bruce Joel Rubin have crafted a simplistic story that only gets worse with time. What starts out promising soon turns deadly (for the audience anyway).  Only one of the subplots is remotely interesting, while the rest are forgettable and boring. And the main plot is so outrageous that you can't figure out if this film is supposed to be an action, drama, or sci-fi.
To put it simply: the special effects of this film are a hit and miss situation. That's right, 80% miss, and 20% hit. Scenes above the Earth are well done, and the orbiting ship is majestic. But the comet is a huge mistake, making it more laughable than frightening. The concept of even trying to land on a comet is preposterous enough, but that's forgiveable. What isn't forgiveable is actually having humans walk on the surface. Give me a break, will ya? And of course, the much hyped collision of comet and Earth. Well, it is far from spectacular, and it makes INDEPENDENCE DAY look brilliant. The water rushing towards the land is effective, but once it hits the continent, the effects turn ridiculous. CGI water is used, and it looks so bad that I heard more laughs from the audience than shrieks. In fact, I may even recommend the film for those who want to see how bad effects can actually get these days. Just when we think visual effects can't be improved, along comes a film to show that they really can and should be.
One thing has struck a wrong note with me concerning Mimi Leder's direction, which also influences the actors. Leder loves to show the actors' faces before and during moments of terror. This reminded me of another action director, Renny Harlin (DIE HARD 2, CLIFFHANGER). But Harlin succeeds because he shows the faces of the victims in realistic situations. Leder likes to flaunt people's fears via their faces, but instead of coming off as sympathetic, Leder seems more of a Sadist. One moment has an astronaut flying off into space. This should be enough to warrant a response from the audience, but Leder wants to go farther and shows us the person's face while drifting into space. This is one of the cheapest ways to ellicit an emotional response from an audience, and I, for one, am not going to be fooled. On another note, Leder's film only picks up its pace during the last fifteen minutes when the comet actually impacts. The pace does pick up, and some very emotional moments are shown. Then again, when you watch people cry for their loved ones, it's obvious it will be emotional. It's mostly just a big trick to rope viewers into "feeling" for the characters, but it didn't work for me.
But anyway, the actors do as much as they can with what they are given. Téa Leoni (BAD BOYS, TV's "The Naked Truth") is the best of the film, and she is given the meatiest role. Her character is made stronger by Leoni's presence, and we grow to care for her. Robert Duvall is energetic and fun to watch, but his character is turned into shreds by the plot. Elijah Wood also comes off rather successfully, but he still hasn't had many good roles (Wood, stick to drama!  Vanessa Redgrave is barely acknowledgeable, and her performance is only enhanced by her strong presence on screen. Maximilian Schell is distracting, but he does provide some nice humor. Morgan Freeman has been infinitely better than this, and gives one of his most shallow performances to date (which is quite remarkable for him). Leelee Sobieski could have been better, but I think she just suffered from a poorly written character. A special note should go to Ron Eldard and Denise Crosby. Eldard is good in his role, but is limited by the plot. Crosby is special to me personally because she was Tasha Yar from TV's "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Seeing her was one of the highlights of the film. Overall, a very talented cast virtually wasted.
DEEP IMPACT is rated PG-13 for disaster related elements and brief language. This is one of the worst films of the year, and if it is any omen of things to come, this summer could be one of the worst ever. Luckily, THE X-FILES MOVIE is coming up, and hopefully ARMAGEDDON will be more successful. It's a shame that this film will do so successfully because it just isn't worth much. Costing nearly $75 million, with special effects done by the illustrious ILM (which is a huge shocker), and with a score composed by Oscar-winner James Horner (TITANIC), one might have expected this to be more fun to witness and experience. Well, it's not. When the comet does hit the Earth, you almost wish it could just take this film along with it.

pyitm: Longley-Rice Irregular Terrain Model¶
This is a pure python implementation of the NTIA Longley-Rice Irregular Terrain Model. This model is a port from the C++ [1] model which itself was a port from the original FORTRAN implementation. pyitm only supports the area-prediction mode of the original model and has been validated against the example data sets from NTIA report 82-100 [2].


Introducing the Anchored Keys module
Background
For background, the preferred way to scale up the storage capacity of a Infinispan cluster
is to use distributed caches.
A distributed cache stores each key/value pair on num-owners
nodes,
and each node can compute the location of a key (aka the key owners) directly.
Infinispan achieves this by statically mapping cache keys to num-segments
consistent hash segments,
and then dynamically mapping segments to nodes based on the cache’s topology
(roughly the current plus the historical membership of the cache).
Whenever a new node joins the cluster, the cache is rebalanced, and the new node replaces an existing node
as the owner of some segments.
The key/value pairs in those segments are copied to the new node and removed from the no-longer-owner node
via state transfer.
|
Note
|
Because the allocation of segments to nodes is based on random UUIDs generated at start time, it is common (though less so after ISPN-11679 ), for segments to also move from one old node to another old node. |
Architecture
The basic idea is to skip the static mapping of keys to segments and to map keys directly to nodes.
When a key/value pair is inserted into the cache, the newest member becomes the anchor owner of that key, and the only node storing the actual value. In order to make the anchor location available without an extra remote lookup, all the other nodes store a reference to the anchor owner.
That way, when another node joins, it only needs to receive the location information from the existing nodes, and values can stay on the anchor owner, minimizing the amount of traffic.
Limitations
- Only one node can be added at a time
-
An external actor (e.g. a Kubernetes/OpenShift operator, or a human administrator) must monitor the load on the current nodes, and add a new node whenever the newest node is close to "full".
|
Note
|
Because the anchor owner information is replicated on all the nodes, and values are never moved off a node, the memory usage of each node will keep growing as new entries and nodes are added. |
- There is no redundancy
-
Every value is stored on a single node. When a node crashes or even stops gracefully, the values stored on that node are lost.
- Transactions are not supported
-
A later version may add transaction support, but the fact that any node stop or crash loses entries makes transactions a lot less valuable compared to a distributed cache.
- Hot Rod clients do not know the anchor owner
-
Hot Rod clients cannot use the topology information from the servers to locate the anchor owner. Instead, the server receiving a Hot Rod get request must make an additional request to the anchor owner in order to retrieve the value.
Configuration
The module is still very young and does not yet support many Infinispan features.
Eventually, if it proves useful, it may become another cache mode, just like scattered caches.
For now, configuring a cache with anchored keys requires a replicated cache with a custom element anchored-keys
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<infinispan
xmlns="urn:infinispan:config:11.0"
xmlns:anchored="urn:infinispan:config:anchored:11.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:infinispan:config:11.0
https://infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-config-11.0.xsd
urn:infinispan:config:anchored:11.0
https://infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-anchored-config-11.0.xsd">
<cache-container default-cache="default">
<transport/>
<replicated-cache name="default">
<anchored:anchored-keys/>
</replicated-cache>
</cache-container>
</infinispan>
When the <anchored-keys/>
element is present, the module automatically enables anchored keys
and makes some required configuration changes:
-
Disables
await-initial-transfer
-
Enables conflict resolution with the equivalent of
<partition-handling when-split="ALLOW_READ_WRITES" merge-policy="PREFER_NON_NULL"/>
The cache will fail to start if these attributes are explicitly set to other values, if state transfer is disabled, or if transactions are enabled.
Implementation status
Basic operations are implemented: put
, putIfAbsent
, get
, replace
, remove
, putAll
, getAll
.
Functional commands
The FunctionalMap
API is not implemented.
Other operations that rely on the functional API’s implementation do not work either: merge
, compute
,
computeIfPresent
, computeIfAbsent
.
Partition handling
When a node crashes, surviving nodes do not remove anchor references pointing to that node.
In theory, this could allow merges to skip conflict resolution, but currently the PREFERRED_NON_NULL
merge policy is configured automatically and cannot be changed.
Listeners
Cluster listeners and client listeners are implemented and receive the correct notifications.
Non-clustered embedded listeners currently receive notifications on all the nodes, not just the node where the value is stored.
Performance considerations
Client/Server Latency
The client always contacts the primary owner, so any read has a
(N-1)/N
probability of requiring a unicast RPC from the primary to the anchor owner.
Writes require the primary to send the value to one node and the anchor address
to all the other nodes, which is currently done with N-1
unicast RPCs.
In theory we could send in parallel one unicast RPC for the value and one multicast RPC for the address, but that would need additional logic to ignore the address on the anchor owner and with TCP multicast RPCs are implemented as parallel unicasts anyway.
Memory overhead
Compared to a distributed cache with one owner, an anchored-keys cache contains copies of all the keys and their locations, plus the overhead of the cache itself.
Therefore, a node with anchored-keys caches should stop accepting new entries when it has less than
(<key size> + <per-key overhead>) * <number of entries not yet inserted>
bytes available.
|
Note
|
The number of entries not yet inserted is obviously very hard to estimate. In the future we may provide a way to limit the overhead of key location information, e.g. by using a distributed cache. |
The per-key overhead is lowest for off-heap storage, around 63 bytes:
8 bytes for the entry reference in MemoryAddressHash.memory
,
29 bytes for the off-heap entry header,
and 26 bytes for the serialized RemoteMetadata
with the owner’s address.
The per-key overhead of the ConcurrentHashMap-based on-heap cache,
assuming a 64-bit JVM with compressed OOPS, would be around 92 bytes:
32 bytes for ConcurrentHashMap.Node
, 32 bytes for MetadataImmortalCacheEntry
,
24 bytes for RemoteMetadata
, and 4 bytes in the ConcurrentHashMap.table
array.
State transfer
State transfer does not transfer the actual values, but it still needs to transfer all the keys and the anchor owner information.
Assuming that the values are much bigger compared to the keys, the anchor cache’s state transfer should also be much faster compared to the state transfer of a distributed cache of a similar size. But for small values, there may not be a visible improvement.
The initial state transfer does not block a joiner from starting,
because it will just ask another node for the anchor owner.
However, the remote lookups can be expensive, especially in embedded mode,
but also in server mode, if the client is not HASH_DISTRIBUTION_AWARE
.

Two Girls and a Guy (1998) Robert Downey Jr., Heather Graham, Natasha Wagner. Directed by James Toback. 92 minutes. R, 3 stars (out of five stars)
Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com/film/ Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott
It's impossible to watch Robert Downey Jr. in "Two Girls and a Guy" without relating his onscreen performance with his off-screen life. Director James Toback wrote the film as a vehicle for his friend Downey, tailoring the story to focus on the actor's all too well known demons. The result is a riveting, often painfully intimate look at the soul of a man who is dangerously out of control. You leave the theater feeling that Downey has opened up and shared the darkest, most personal parts of himself. Unless, of course, he was just fooling us, the same way his character fooled the women who confront him in the story.
Set almost entirely in a SoHo loft, "Two Girls and a Guy" is essentially a three-character drama. Lou (Natasha Wagner) and Carla (Heather Graham from "Boogie Nights" and "Lost In Space") are strangers who meet outside a Manhattan apartment building as they wait to surprise their respective boyfriends. While making small talk, they come to realize they are both waiting for the same man. Blake Allen (Downey,) a charming, self-absorbed young actor, has been seeing Carla three days a week and Lou on three other days. As for the seventh day, it's safe to assume he wasn't resting.
 Lou climbs the fire escape, breaks out an apartment window and buzzes Carla in. Soon, the object of their affection returns home and the mind games begin.
As a film, "Two Girls and a Guy" is a somewhat clunky, claustrophobic piece of work, playing like an occassionally inspired, often strained exercise in improvisational theater. But as a character study, the piece is absolutely mesmerizing. Graham and Wagner are exceptional actors, creating a strong dynamic between their very different characters. Carla is a well-educated woman with a sophisticated air, complimented by an earthy nature and a sharp tongue. She has the reserved demeanor that often accompanies classical beauty, while Lou is the cuter and more outgoing of the two. Lacking the schooling of her peers, Lou makes up for it with street smarts and a bolder presentation style.
Despite Graham and Wagner's well-drawn characters, this is clearly Robert Downey Jr.'s show and the troubled actor's performance is a tour de force. When the women confront him, rubbing his nose in the hackneyed come-on lines he used on both of them ("I never experienced real love before I met you," " You own my dick", etc.) Downey goes into one of the most dazzling song and dances ever recorded on film.  He tries diversionary tactics, even feigning a suicide to remind the girls of how much they need him. Desperate, he attempts to turn the tables, claiming that the women's premeditated confrontation was far more cruel than anything he did in the name of love.
The watershed scene comes as Downey confronts himself in the bathroom mirror, sobbing "When are you going to shape up?" along with a stream of invectives. This is the moment when the line between actor and character dissolves and we find ourselves looking squarely at Robert Downey Jr., the drug-addict. While the story addresses sexual duplicity, the subtext actually deals with the duplicity of an addict who spent years saying whatever was necessary to convince those trying to help him that their efforts were working, when in fact, his self-destructive behaviors continued to spiral out of control.
Or is it? Midway through the story, one of the women asks Downey's character "Do you have any feelings, or do you just play Hamlet all the time and pretend to have feelings?" The same question applies to Downey himself. Is he really experiencing a crucial moment of clarity in the film, or is he just pretending to have the breakthrough he knew was expected of him?
There's no way of knowing whether what we saw was real, pretend, or a little of both. As of this writing, Downey has completed his jail term and moved to a drug rehabilitation facility. It's notable that he spent an evening away from the center to attend the premier of this film.
Robert Downey Jr. is an extraordinarily gifted actor and, despite a contrived storyline and shaky dialogue, "Two Girls and a Guy" is a striking film, thanks primarily to his inspired performance. Robert Downey Jr. is also an addict, and as Neil Young wrote, "every junkie is a setting sun." Hopefully, Downey, like so very many others, will find the inspiration to change his life before nightfall.

Are you the kind of person who likes to stay up to date on topics varying from online security, cryptography, software settings, 3D printing or perhaps even the most remotely related topic to Technology? Well, then you have landed on the right blog.
Welcome to my personal blog where I like to post stuff that piques my interest. You can add your email address to the mailing link below to get updates on your email whenever I post a new blog post.
For everyone of us, there is some thing or the other that matters to him a lot. In my case, its this essence of Electronics, which bolsters me to pursue amazing Hobby Projects. Though I may not be an ingenious creature, but I can still manage to complete the projects that I take up.
That's a lot of useless stuff on this "about-me" page. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Simar, currently living in some undisclosed location (and you expected me to write the city after dropping buzz words like data-security ? c'mmon), learning new stuff every day and sometimes sharing that knowledge with everyone through this blog. I believe in open-source community and I can't withstand any politics at all. Machines......are a distraction...indeed (-Pepper Potts). But they have the potential to solve a lot of problems humanity face today. Its because of this reason, Github stores software codes in its Arctic Vault in SVALBARD, in a hope that if major chunk of humanity is wiped out for any reason, the remaining can bring back everything we have today using those freely available open source programs (which also have instructions on how to use them as they are in tapes intended to last 50k+ years)
But yeaah, thats pretty much what I believe in, and it is what makes me, who I am today.

Ford Claims Victory Over 2020 Explorer Launch Issues
A production rush created too many problems.
by Jay TraugottThe redesigned 2020 Ford Explorer will play a major role in the automaker's sales, just like its predecessors. Its corporate cousin, the Lincoln Aviator, is also set to make up a significant chunk of the premium brand's bottom line. Unfortunately, early production got off to a rocky start, as we reported in September. Issues involving faulty seats, loose wiring harnesses, and displays with faulty software were discovered after the completed SUVs left Ford's Chicago factory. Instead of being sent to dealerships, most were transported to the Flat Rock plant near Detroit where workers identified and fixed "a series of complicated problems." It was not the ideal rollout and Ford dealerships confirmed delivery delays due to "manufacturing issues."
Today, a new report from the Detroit News claims the Blue Oval has resolved 2020 Explorer and Aviator production issues and is now preparing for a proper rollout. "This is a rarity," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of automotive. "We took on a lot more than we have before. It was too much for that plant to take on."
In other words, Ford tried to do too much, too fast for a vital product. They paid a price for this. The launch slowdown contributed towards a 50 percent drop in Explorer sales in the third quarter of this year. But fortunately, all of the above problems associated with both the Explorer and Aviator were fixed before they hit showrooms, so owners will remain unaffected.
Why was Ford forced to do quality control inspections and all necessary repairs at Flat Rock instead of Chicago where the SUVs are built? Because there was a lack of space at the Chicago facility, which is now up and running as originally planned. All Chicago production problems have now been fully resolved.
Some industry analysts, however, say the Chicago plant's retooling – a $1 billion project – should not have caused production problems and delays. While this was a major renovation project "this is Ford. They should know how to do this by now, and this isn't the first time that you've had some substantial changeover at a plant," said one analyst.

While the plant was being renovated, line workers were trained off-site and once construction was done, three shifts near maximum capacity began almost immediately. Associated problems quickly followed. Switching back to a rear-wheel-drive layout instead of the outgoing Explorer's front-wheel-drive setup is a very complicated process, and Chicago's 5,000 workers had to quickly adapt.
Ford now faces the challenge of making up for lost sales time and Hinrichs estimates the company was off by around 13,000 wholesale units last quarter. Above all, quality control has stabilized and a new era for the Explorer and Aviator can now properly get underway.

Volvo S90 Facelift Spied Showing Small Design Tweaks
A new lower fascia and revised lighting are among the more noticeable revisions.
by Chris BruceThe Volvo S90 has an update on the way, and these spy shots provide a close look at the tweaks. Unfortunately, the company keeps the revised parts under black concealment over the black body.
Gallery: Volvo S90 Facelift Spy Photos
Compared to the existing S90 (see the slider tool below), this revised model wears a tweaked lower fascia, but the covering over it hides the styling changes. The general shape appears to be the same, so don't expect a major design overhaul. The grille features a more textured design. The headlights have the same silhouette, but the lamps on the inside appear to be slightly different by making the LEDs more prominent.
The revisions at the back are also tiny. Volvo conceals the taillights, but there are new lamps with a new position for the reverse light. The company also hides the exhausts, but the bumper and trunk designs look the same.
The facelifted S90 should gain the kinetic energy recovery braking system from the refreshed XC90. On the crossover, the company claims the tech can offer 15 percent fuel savings in real-world driving, so the efficiency improvement should be similar for the sedan.
There's no info about other powertrain changes but expect the S90 to follow Volvo's increased adoption of hybrid and PHEV tech. The company intends to no longer offer diesel engines within the next five to six years.
New Volvos On The Way:
Starting in 2020, all Volvos will have a top speed of 112 miles per hour (180 kilometers per hour). The company is also working on tech that would automatically restrict a vehicle's speed in school zones and around hospitals, but this feature isn't ready for production models yet.
An exact debut date for the updated S90 is a mystery. Look for it to arrive in 2020 and be on sale in the United States for the 2021 model year.

As a kid, I was always fascinated by electronics, collecting electronic components of a broken toy and trying to repair it back. It was not until I entered high school however, that I realized my true passion. I was simply awe-struck by my cousin's fourth year EDP which was a 6 DOF robotic arm. It was in that moment I knew what I wanted to pursue as my post secondary career. Initially, I wanted to specialize in Power Systems but, it has since shifted to Microsystems and Embedded Systems.
Through my internship at Celestica, I was able to improve on my hands-on skills such SMD/SMT soldering, cable management, test fixture wiring and using power tools. I was also exposed to industrial software tools such as: Altium, NI TestStand, Labview and SolidWorks. As an intern, some of my responsibilities were: creating software tools to automate processes, designing custom PCBs in Altium, debugging test fixture wire connections, maintaining project BOMs and assist in quoting new customers by contributing to test plan.
Apart from academics and the industrial internship, I have also worked on multiple projects of my own. This helped develop my critical thinking skills and bolstered my confidence. Working individualy on a project of my own taught me: Independent learning and research, Adhering to self imposed deadlines, Maintaining comprehensive notes and Cost sensitive design practices. I also enhanced my technical skills such as: Object oriented coding, Web development, Familiarity with 8 & 32 bit microcontrollers and Digital circuit design.
I enjoy learning anything related to IOT, Microcontrollers, Linux Libraries, Analog & Digital Circuits and Electrical Concepts. My drive to learn outside the classroom was indispensable, particularily during my internship. I was able to indulge in projects outside of my assigned role which helped me advance my knowledge on the subject while contributing to the success of the company.


Avalanche on Siachen Glacier kills 6, including Indian troops
by Clyde HughesNov. 19 (UPI) -- An avalanche on the northern portion of the Siachen Glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir has killed four members of the Indian Army and two civilian porters.
Officials said the soldiers survived the avalanche Monday, which occurred at about 19,000 feet, but later died of extreme hypothermia.
The Siachen Glacier is about 20,000 feet high at points along the Karakoram range and is part of the highest militarized zone in the world. The dangerous location has led to the deaths of hundreds of Indian soldiers since 1984 because of dangerous climate conditions. About 20 soldiers died there three years ago.
"Deeply pained by the demise of soldiers and porters due to avalanche in Siachen," India Defense Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted. "I salute their courage and service to the nation."

- Release the Brake Tension
- Undo the Wheel Retention Device
- Removing the Wheel from the Dropouts
The brake pads are held close to the metal rim for extra stopping power by tension on the brake cable. The limited clearance between brake pads and the tire will prevent wheel removal. You can release the tension and widen the breaks by adjusting the lever on the dual pivot breaks.
As you adjust the lever, pay attention to the clearance between brake pads and the rim. You can see the swing cause by the lever, and will know when the brakes are in proper position.
Compression between the wheel's axle and bike's fork holds the wheel firmly in the fork's dropouts. (Refer to the glossary if these terms are unfamiliar.) You can undo the compression by pulling down the "quick release lever". After the lever has been released, thread the axle in the counter-clockwise direction to further loosen it.
Warning! The Bike is not safe to ride without brakes or a wheel retention device. Please refer to Step Five to reconfigure the wheel.
The front or rear wheel can now be easily pulled out of the bike's fork.
For the front wheel: lift the frame off of the ground and press down on the top of the wheel. It will fall free.
Warning! If you are removing the rear wheel, ensure the chain is in the smallest rear gear and largest front gear. Doing so will prevent the chain from becomig tangled or twisted during removal.
For the rear wheel: Use your hand to release the chain tension by pulling back on the rear derailleur. This will disengage the chain from your rear cassette, and allow the wheel to fall free.
Warning! Do not try to balance the bike frame on the front dropouts or rear casette. Instead, place the bike upside down like the figure below to prevent damage to components.
If the wheel and frame are seperated entirely you are ready for Step Two!

Tinder for Ballroom Dancers
Concept exploration
Meet dancers, dance more
It Takes Two to Tango
Finding a ballroom dance partner that matches your skill, dedication, and schedule is hard to find. Inspired by the frustrations expressed by the collegiate ballroom community in partner search, I set out to create an online ballroom partner search app.
| Problem | Insight | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hard to find a dance partner | Dancers avoid using current websites because they are "sketchy", some use Facebook groups for partner search | Online partner search app |
Defining Strategy and Scope
I explored what the core features and functionality of the app would be. Getting early input from the ballroom comnunity, it was clear the need of finding and meeting new dancers was most unaddressed, and that became the focus.
Structure and User Flow
I tackled usability next -- making sure that first and foremost the user can achieve their goal of finding someone to dance with using DANCR in the most seamless and intuitive experience possible. For that reason I wanted users to immediately be able to use DANCR upon first download, and only introduce the onboarding / sign up process if a user wants to message a dancer.
UI Design
Beginning to design the layout and visual aspects of the screens.
User Testing & Iterations
In pursuit of the best way to search and filter partner profiles, I conducted A/B user testing on the merits of a one screen filter vs. a two step filter. While the one screen version had a more beautiful form and one less click, the two step version actually took less time for users to understand how to use and was more functional.
I also explored countless layouts for the home screen and the menu bar. I believe strongly in designing for a purpose, and the purpose here was to make it as easy and unoffensive for a new user to become familiar and comfortable with the app, while still communicating the core functionality of partner search.
Conclusion
High-fidelity mockups were coded into a native smartphone prototype that was used for further usability testing and pitching to USA Dance, the national governing body of ballroom dance in the US. The takeaway from this exploration seemed to be that there is a a market demand for such a product. However, due to the nature of the small niche market of ballroom dancing, we may need to explore the viability in terms of cost-benefit.


Perhaps the most striking difference between the Strongtalk system and other Smalltalk systems is performance. The Strongtalk system is not only far faster than any other Smalltalk system (and it is hardly tuned at all), but it is faster in ways that can significantly improve the way that Smalltalk programmers write code. This is because it dramatically reduces (and often completely eliminates) the cost of most message sends and blocks. This allows programmers to write even the most performance critical code in as finely-factored a way as they please. For example, accessor messages for instance variables, and custom control structures (using blocks), can be used universally.
This may sound too good to be true, but it really works. The Strongtalk virtual machine accomplishes this feat using several different technologies:
A fast interpreter combined with a unique dynamically-adaptive inlining compiler that produces native code. The compiler uses type feedback, an approach developed by Urs Hoelzle for his Stanford doctoral thesis as part of research done in the Self group at Sun Microsystems, Inc.
A very fast generational garbage collector
Direct pointers for objects, eliminating object table indirections
The inlining compiler can inline and optimize away over 90% of dynamically occuring message sends and block closures. Since most programs spend almost all their time in a small fraction of their code, the compiler is able to keep the space and time cost of optimization reasonable by only optimizing performance-critical code.
On the next page we will show a micro-benchmark that demonstrates the dramatic effect of this technology. For those who are interested, you can read a two-page overview on how the adaptive compilation process works before proceeding to the next page.

Non-Technical Interviewing
Projected Time
About 1-1.5 hours
Motivation
Behavioral interview questions and technical experience are a chance to provide the audience with some insight based on your past behavior in certain situations. Consider your most important projects / features / initiatives that you worked on and identify the relevant talking points to answer the most common questions. Take the time to practice and prepare the narrative around each of your experiences so that you have them handy for a wide variety of questions. Ensure that you answer the question with the specific action you did, provide the context of your actions, and concretely describe the (positive) results or learnings from your actions.
Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- frame their experiences and Techtonica to a variety of audiences
- answer questions about their work experience and how it will apply to future roles
Specific Things to Learn
- Preparing a “personal narrative"
- Framing experiences to prepare for different types of questions - Action - Context - Result response
- Questions to ask interviewers
Materials
Lesson - Personal Narrative
Your personal narrative is a prepared ~2min response to the question “tell me about yourself." It should tell the
audience who you are and why you are relevant to them. Specifically, it is the storyline of how you got to that
exact conversation – why you are in that interview or at that event, speaking to that person.
Take some time to think about how you got to Techtonica and what you’re interested in next. This guide can help you think about and format your response.
Use and adapt your personal narrative with your apprentices and/or at tech talks, conferences, and recruiting events.
Common Mistakes / Misconceptions
- Focus on what is relevant to the recruiter or interviewer and their goals
- Provide context for your work experiences
Guided Practice
Consider questions like:
- Tell me about a time you completed a challenge as a team.
- Tell me about a time you helped a client.
- Tell me about a project or feature you completed.
Think about what experiences come to mind to response to these questions. Pick a few significant projects you’ve done and frame them within Action - Context- Result format:
- Action - “Punchline" of the story, one-line answer to the question
- Context - describe the situation in which your actions took place
- Result - reiterate the initial answer to the original question, clearly defining the results you produced
Use this format to help focus your responses and ensure you answer the question. Once you have your major experiences outlined, you can map different questions to the experiences and prepare for a variety of questions.
Independent Practice
General Questions
- What is the unique strength you bring to a team?
- Sometimes this is just asked a “What’s your greatest strength?" but I suggest you answer it as if it was asked as above, since it’s assumed everyone is good at coding, detail-oriented, a team-player, etc
- Tell me about a time you completed a challenge as a team.
- How did you decide how to divide the tasks? Was there a formal or informal leader?
- Was someone falling behind their tasks? What did you do?
- Did you disagree with the group/leader about the direction? What did you do?
- After tasks were divided up, what’s an example where you took on something that “wasn’t your job" but you saw needed to be done (maybe it was no one’s job)
- Tell me about a time you worked with someone difficult.
- Explain a time when you helped a team member?
- How did you know they needed help? (ideally, use a case where you offered help without being directly asked which shows you are proactive)
- Describe a time when something about your team’s process wasn’t working.
- What did you do? (e.g. raise the issue at retro, discuss with peers or manager, ideally bringing up a solution to try)
- What are your goals for your career? (frame as how this role will help you get there)
- Every junior person wants a place to learn and grow their skills, so try to be more specific
- Mention if you have interest in exploring other roles in the future based on career week (e.g. PM)
- When did you need to give someone difficult feedback?
- How did you approach the conversation? How did you prepare?
- How did the conversation go? What was the outcome?
- The flip side of this is describe a time when you were given feedback that was difficult to hear
- How did you react?
- What did you do with the feedback?
Technical Questions
- Tell me about a bug you fixed.
- Tell me about a project or feature you completed.
- What do you think the relationship is between product managers, designers and engineers?
- Tell me about a mistake you made.
- Draw out the architecture of your product.
Questions for Them
Do some company research and prepare some questions for the recruiters and interviewers.
- What is an example of a client challenge you have recently faced?
- How do you on-board new hires?
- How do employees ask questions here?
- Where do you see the company going in the next year? 10 years?
- What impact would I have on the team if I get hired?
- What would make someone really successful in this role?
- What does “crunch time" for your team look like?
- What are the success metrics of your team
- What projects are in the pipeline? What projects are you excited about?
- How does code get to production at [company x]?
Independent Practice
Take an hour think of answers to as many of the above questions as you can. Later on, as you prepare for more interviews, work towards having an answer to all of them.

Our mission is to further the world’s understanding of Bitcoin through high-quality, accessible, localized content.
Bitcoin is a world-changing technology that is worth paying attention to, but isn’t easy to grasp. Many other “blockchain” projects go beyond the realm of technical feasibility with reckless claims and promises that are hard for the broader public to evaluate. In non-English speaking countries, this problem is compounded by a lack of good localized educational content.
Our solution is to provide quality-controlled translations in order to raise the technical understanding of Bitcoin and negate the potency of disinformation. We are starting with Japanese, Korean, and Chinese -- languages of countries where cryptocurrency is popular, yet high-quality localized information is sorely lacking.
We aim to be accessible to beginners, since people with varying levels of knowledge will be accessing the site. However, Bitcoin is inherently technical, so a large portion of the content will challenge our audience to gain a deeper understanding.
We will select pre-existing high-quality content and, with the permission of the original author, republish it on our site in multiple languages. We may also feature some original content, which will primarily serve as stepping stones for novices to understand the selected articles.
All content will be free to access and redistribute under a Creative Commons license, so local news outlets will be able to use it as reference material. We expect this to become a regular occurrence, given the need for high quality content in certain countries.
The brunt of the effort is expected to go into translation, review/proofreading, and project management. Given the highly technical nature of the content, we are putting extra emphasis on the review process, to ensure that the quality of the translation lives up to the source material.
We accept individual donations and corporate sponsorship (your logo will be listed on the About page). We do not accept advertisements, sponsored articles, or anything else that could potentially compromise the quality of our content. There is no profit motive -- all donations will go towards meeting our goals.
Please sign up here if you are interested in sponsoring our mission, and sign up here if you want to volunteer as a writer or translator.

Hard and glossy to touch.
Shiny copper fur,
With fluffy black spots.

Small slender paws,
Soft little pads.
Black leather cushions,
Sleek and new-smelling.
Sinewy muscles,
Strong and defined.
Five hundred horses,
And yet they purr.
One throaty growl,
Speed is to come.
Metal hits floor,
Rubber squeals.
Haunches tighten and spring,
Flying forward like lightning.
Inhuman speed,
Wind rushing past,
Then nothing.

Bundler retrieves its configuration from the local application (fBapp/.bundle/configfR), environment variables, and the user's home directory (fB~/.bundle/configfR), in that order of priority. . .P Executing fBbundle configfR with no parameters will print a list of all bundler configuration for the current bundle, and where that configuration was set. . .P Executing fBbundle config <name>fR will print the value of that configuration setting, and where it was set. . .P Executing fBbundle config <name> <value>fR will set that configuration to the value specified for all bundles executed as the current user. The configuration will be stored in fB~/.bundle/configfR. If fInamefR already is set, fInamefR will be overridden and user will be warned. . .P Executing fBbundle config --global <name> <value>fR works the same as above. . .P Executing fBbundle config --local <name> <value>fR will set that configuration to the local application. The configuration will be stored in fBapp/.bundle/configfR. . .P Executing fBbundle config --delete <name>fR will delete the configuration in both local and global sources. Not compatible with --global or --local flag. . .P Executing bundle with the fBBUNDLE_IGNORE_CONFIGfR environment variable set will cause it to ignore all configuration. . .SH “BUILD OPTIONS” You can use fBbundle configfR to give bundler the flags to pass to the gem installer every time bundler tries to install a particular gem. . .P A very common example, the fBmysqlfR gem, requires Snow Leopard users to pass configuration flags to fBgem installfR to specify where to find the fBmysql_configfR executable. . .IP “” 4 . .nf
gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P Since the specific location of that executable can change from machine to machine, you can specify these flags on a per-machine basis. . .IP “” 4 . .nf
bundle config build.mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P After running this command, every time bundler needs to install the fBmysqlfR gem, it will pass along the flags you specified. . .SH “CONFIGURATION KEYS” Configuration keys in bundler have two forms: the canonical form and the environment variable form. . .P For instance, passing the fB--withoutfR flag to bundle install(1) fIbundle-install.1.htmlfR prevents Bundler from installing certain groups specified in the Gemfile(5). Bundler persists this value in fBapp/.bundle/configfR so that calls to fBBundler.setupfR do not try to find gems from the fBGemfilefR that you didn't install. Additionally, subsequent calls to bundle install(1) fIbundle-install.1.htmlfR remember this setting and skip those groups. . .P The canonical form of this configuration is fB“without”fR. To convert the canonical form to the environment variable form, capitalize it, and prepend fBBUNDLE_fR. The environment variable form of fB“without”fR is fBBUNDLE_WITHOUTfR. . .SH “LIST OF AVAILABLE KEYS” The following is a list of all configuration keys and their purpose. You can learn more about their operation in bundle install(1) fIbundle-install.1.htmlfR. . .TP fBpathfR (fBBUNDLE_PATHfR) The location on disk to install gems. Defaults to fB$GEM_HOMEfR in development and fBvendor/bundlerfR when fB--deploymentfR is used . .TP fBfrozenfR (fBBUNDLE_FROZENfR) Disallow changes to the fBGemfilefR. Defaults to fBtruefR when fB--deploymentfR is used. . .TP fBwithoutfR (fBBUNDLE_WITHOUTfR) A fB:fR-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should not install . .TP fBbinfR (fBBUNDLE_BINfR) Install executables from gems in the bundle to the specified directory. Defaults to fBfalsefR. . .TP fBssl_ca_certfR (fBBUNDLE_SSL_CA_CERTfR) Path to a designated CA certificate file or folder containing multiple certificates for trusted CAs in PEM format. . .TP fBssl_client_certfR (fBBUNDLE_SSL_CLIENT_CERTfR) Path to a designated file containing a X.509 client certificate and key in PEM format. . .P In general, you should set these settings per-application by using the applicable flag to the bundle install(1) fIbundle-install.1.htmlfR command. . .P You can set them globally either via environment variables or fBbundle configfR, whichever is preferable for your setup. If you use both, environment variables will take preference over global settings. . .P An additional setting is available only as an environment variable: . .TP fBBUNDLE_GEMFILEfR The name of the file that bundler should use as the fBGemfilefR. This location of this file also sets the root of the project, which is used to resolve relative paths in the fBGemfilefR, among other things. By default, bundler will search up from the current working directory until it finds a fBGemfilefR. . .P Bundler will ignore any fBBUNDLE_GEMFILEfR entries in local or global configuration files. . .SH “LOCAL GIT REPOS” Bundler also allows you to work against a git repository locally instead of using the remote version. This can be achieved by setting up a local override: . .IP “” 4 . .nf
bundle config local.GEM_NAME /path/to/local/git/repository . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P For example, in order to use a local Rack repository, a developer could call: . .IP “” 4 . .nf
bundle config local.rack ~/Work/git/rack . .fi . .IP “” 0 . .P Now instead of checking out the remote git repository, the local override will be used. Similar to a path source, every time the local git repository change, changes will be automatically picked up by Bundler. This means a commit in the local git repo will update the revision in the fBGemfile.lockfR to the local git repo revision. This requires the same attention as git submodules. Before pushing to the remote, you need to ensure the local override was pushed, otherwise you may point to a commit that only exists in your local machine. . .P Bundler does many checks to ensure a developer won't work with invalid references. Particularly, we force a developer to specify a branch in the fBGemfilefR in order to use this feature. If the branch specified in the fBGemfilefR and the current branch in the local git repository do not match, Bundler will abort. This ensures that a developer is always working against the correct branches, and prevents accidental locking to a different branch. . .P Finally, Bundler also ensures that the current revision in the fBGemfile.lockfR exists in the local git repository. By doing this, Bundler forces you to fetch the latest changes in the remotes. . .SH “MIRRORS OF GEM REPOSITORIES” Bundler supports overriding gem sources with mirrors. This allows you to configure rubygems.org as the gem source in your Gemfile while still using your mirror to fetch gems. . .IP “” 4 . .nf
bundle config mirror.rubygems.org rubygems-mirror.org . .fi . .IP “” 0
