General¶
The primary aim of TudatPy is the expose the C++ libraries of Tudat. As such, the current design pattern of TudatPy
for release 1.0 is to implement the namespaces within the libraries as self contained modules within the TudatPy package.
This means that the Tudat Doxygen page is the current primary resource in the design of the 1.0 release. The
Tudat namespace list is indicative of the final submodule list for 1.0, save for exampels such as the
tudat::input_output
namespace which is replaced by submodules of popular packages such as pandas and NumPy
which are native to the Python ecosystem. For example uses of these popular Python packages in TudatPy applications,
see the Python Ecosystem.

[gecode-users] Refresh an inspector
Andrea Peano
andrea.peano at unife.it
Fri Jul 19 10:42:30 CEST 2013
Hello,
I would inspect only a "slice" of a solution by means of a user defined
inspector (with GIST), and by using toolbar buttons I would change the
slice to be shown (and then refresh the window).
I tried to rewrite the event handler of the Qtoolbutton in order to change
the state of the inspector and to refresh it, but I do not find the right
way to implement it straightforwardly (in C++).
How can I control the inspector from an event handler of a toolbar button
of a window created by the "initialize" method of the inspector?
Can you suggest me a particular architecture?
Thank you,
Andrea

Average sales price of homes
Housing continues to be the largest expense for most residents, and can be a household's greatest asset or greatest liability. Home sales prices rise and fall with a number of factors, including the economy, the housing market, the age of the housing stock, the needs of residents, and the demand for particular locations. This variable represents the sales price of homes as a single unit, and does not take into account the age, size, condition or amenities of the houses. Having a diverse housing stock available for purchase at a variety of price points is necessary to meet the needs and preferences of all residents.
####How are we doing? According to the National Association of Realtors, the median home price in the Charlotte metropolitan region was $201,500 in the third quarter of 2014, up 9.6% from the previous year.
####Did you know? The local housing market is still under its August 2007 peak as measured by the Case-Shiller Index, which measures how the sales price of the same single-family detached residences change over time. The February 2015 value for the Charlotte metropolitan region was 130.2, compared to 133.9 in August 2007.

in-context


July 10, 2020 — Josh
*record scratch*
*freeze frame*
Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. Shit wait, that meme doesn't really apply to this situation. Oh well.
Before I get to discussing the namesake of this post, I want to provide some context.
The image above comes from an "interactive story game" I was making as a project for one of my classes (a media class!). One part of the game involved choosing drum sounds, and sequencing them into a loop (the picture is of the latter). I then wanted to play the drum loop back to the user (along with a melodic counterpart).
Ok, how do I create a drum loop based on the user's input? The information I have available to me is:
(1) the filenames of the sounds (e.g. kick1.mp3, snare3.mp3, hihat2.mp3), and
(2) which notes are selected in each row (based on whether the background color is blue).
My initial idea was to have a repository of every possible drum loop the user could make, and then I would simply return the name of the respective drum loop based on the user's input. Alright, so how many audio files is that?
Available sounds:
1 of kick1.mp3, kick2.mp3, kick3.mp3
,
1 of snare1.mp3, snare2.mp3, snare3.mp3
,
1 of hihat1.mp3, hihat2.mp3, hihat3.mp3
Positions for each sound: 8
There are 256
ways we can arrange a single sound clip (e.g. kick1.mp3) in those 8 positions. Since there are 3 versions of each instrument, and 3 instruments in total, we'd need (256 * 3) * 3 = 2304
files to capture every possible loop for each single sound. Here's what I mean:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
------------------------------------------------------------
k1 | | | | | | | |
k1 | k1 | | | | | | |
k1 | k1 | k1 | | | | | |
... | | | | | | | |
k1 | | k1 | | k1 | | k1 | |
... | | | | | | | |
k3 | | k3 | k3 | k3 | | k3 | |
... | | | | | | | |
s2 | s2 | s2 | s2 | s2 | | | |
... | | | | | | | |
h3 | h3 | h3 | h3 | h3 | h3 | h3 | h3 |
... | | | | | | | |
------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an example of the last row:
And an example of the second row:
The complete table would have 2304 rows in it. And, as you can see/hear, this only considers loops of a single instrument, not ones with all three elements. Can you smell the complexity? Each row can be combined with any other two rows (given that each row is a distinct instrument), which yields... a huge number, man. I don't even know how to calculate that.
Not to mention, I was arranging all of these loops by hand in a graphical environment:
|
Ok, so after about 15 minutes of creating files by hand I knew this would never work. What I did next was what any other sensible person would do -- I rang up my good friend mmvvpp123.
Mmvvpp123 recommended the file-less alternative of looping through all of the "notes" and playing them with JavaScript. This seemed like the right approach, but it did spook me a bit, as I was worried about the drums staying in sync with their accompanying melodies, and I had some uncertanties about how I would implement the process.
This may have been the most scalable and/or best approach, but I never got the chance to find out cause I went to go shower right after our call. Andddd, you know how showers are. By the time I was out, I had a whole plan figured out regarding how I could automate generating audio files.
FFMPEG. I knew that FFMPEG is able to concatenate audio files -- what if I could create loops by concatenating the sounds together? There are 8 beats, each one will either have a sound or silence.
The syntax for doing this with FFMPEG is:
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i loop_sample2.txt -c copy loop_sample2.mp3
Contents of loop_sample2.txt
:
file 'kick1.mp3'
file 'kick1.mp3'
file 'silence.mp3'
file 'silence.mp3'
file 'silence.mp3'
file 'silence.mp3'
file 'silence.mp3'
(This knowledge comes via Miles Wolbe on StackOverflow)
All together, this yields loop_sample2.mp3
, which is the audio file with two kicks you heard earlier in the post. This is text! This is automatable!
Buckle up kiddo, we're gonna go for a ride.
Remember those 2304
possible permutations I mentioned earlier? Let's generate all of them! We're going to need 2304
files, each with similar contents to the one above (different arrangements of 1 element from
['kick1.mp3', 'kick2.mp3', 'kick3.mp3', 'snare1.mp3', 'snare2.mp3', 'snare3.mp3', 'hihat1.mp3', 'hihat2.mp3', 'hihat3.mp3']
along with 'silence.mp3'
).
So, when it comes down to it, the problem is finding all the possible ways we can place 2 distinct elements into 8 spots. I chose to summarize that as generating every possible length-8 arrangement of X
and O
, such as XXXXXXXX
or OOOOOOOO
or XOXOXOXO
. Once we do that, we can replace every X
with a sound clip and every O
with silence, and then write that to a file in FFMPEG's preferred format (seen above).
To generate this glorified Tic-Tac-Toe game, I pleaded for help on Discord, and also asked my friend Blake, who quickly got back to me with a Python one-liner:
for i in range(2**8):
print(str(bin(i))[2:].zfill(8).replace("0","O").replace("1","X"))
Ok maybe it's a two-liner, but it's still a one-liner in my heart. That produced 256
lines of X
s and O
s (cause as I mentioned there are 256
ways to arrange a sound clip in 8 spots). Each of these lines represents a potential drum loop.
OOXOOXOO
OOXOOXOX
OOXOOXXO
OOXOOXXX
OOXOXOOO
OOXOXOOX
OOXOXOXO
OOXOXOXX
OOXOXXOO
OOXOXXOX
Now, we just have to generate a bunch of files for FFMPEG based on each line of this output. I elected to do this in C++, cause I'm comfy :3 with its IO libraries and I was just trying to get stuff done.
The meat of the work is simple, and done like this:
/* where "sound" is one of ['kick1.mp3', 'kick2.mp3', ... 'hat3.mp3'],
"fout" is writing to a file, and "line" is the string of Xs and Os */
for(int i = 0; i < line.size(); ++i)
{
if(line[i] == 'X') fout << "file '" << sound << "'\n";
else if(line[i] == 'O') fout << "file 'silence.mp3'\n";
}
But, this raises the question of how we should name the files we're generating. I'll borrow a trick from the world of epsilon-delta proofs and work backwards for a second -- let's revisit how exactly our JavaScript program will know which file to fetch based on the user's entered drum sequence.
Recall this image:
We're going to parse this information to decide which filename each row corresponds to:
//filename example: k1_45678.mp3
function generateFilename()
{
//each note is a span element
let notes = document.getElementsByTagName("SPAN");
//where kick, snare, and hihat are file names such as "kick1.mp3"
// (the user selected one of each type previously)
let kick_num = kick[kick.indexOf(".") - 1];
let snare_num = snare[snare.indexOf(".") - 1]; //e.g. 2
let hat_num = hihat[hihat.indexOf(".") - 1];
let kick_filename = "k" + kick_num + "_";
let snare_filename = "s" + snare_num + "_"; //e.g. s2_
let hat_filename = "h" + hat_num + "_";
for(let i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
if(notes[i].style.backgroundColor == "blue") kick_filename += (i + 1);
for(let i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
if(notes[8 + i].style.backgroundColor == "blue") snare_filename += (i + 1);
for(let i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
if(notes[16 + i].style.backgroundColor == "blue") hat_filename += (i + 1);
kick_filename += ".mp3";
snare_filename += ".mp3";
hat_filename += ".mp3";
return [kick_filename, snare_filename, hat_filename];
}
So basically the name format is:
(1) the first letter of the instrument type (k/s/h), followed by
(2) the number of the instrument (as in kick1 vs kick2) (1/2/3), followed by
(3) an underscore, then
(4) the positions of the notes (1 through 8)
Yielding something like k1_45678.mp3.
We can then use this filename as the source for an audio element and play it back to the user (assuming we've pre-generated all of these files and are storing them somewhere).
let kickloop = new Audio(kick_filename);
let snareloop = new Audio(snare_filename);
let hatloop = new Audio(hat_filename);
kickloop.play();
snareloop.play();
hatloop.play();
Voila, now we know how to name our files for FFMPEG!
In other words, let's finish this up. We can now complete our C++ program, which (as a refresher) is cycling through each line of X
s and O
s and translating them into files that FFMPEG will use to create loops.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
// XXOOOOXO --> 127
string rename(const string &line)
{
string name = "";
for(int i = 0, l = line.length(); i < l; ++i)
if(line[i] == 'X') name += to_string(i + 1);
return name;
}
// kick1.mp3 --> 1
string getInstNum(const string &inst)
{
for(int i = 0, l = inst.length(); i < l; ++i)
if(inst[i] == '.') return string(1, inst[i-1]);
}
// reads input from stdin, call with "./a.out 'kick1.mp3'"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
string inst = argv[1]; //e.g. kick1.mp3
string prefix = inst[0] + getInstNum(inst); //e.g. k1
ofstream fout;
string line;
while(getline(cin, line))
{
// create a file (e.g. k1_127.txt)
fout.open(prefix + "_" + rename(line) + ".txt");
// fill the file, properly formatting
for(int i = 0, l = line.length(); i < l; ++i)
{
if(line[i] == 'X') fout << "file '" << inst << "'\n";
else if(line[i] == 'O') fout << "file 'silence.mp3'\n";
}
fout.close();
}
}
We provide the input for this program using Blake's beautiful Python one-liner from earlier, which I'll put into the file loops.py
.
 I guess we can simply do this by hand for all of our sounds, cause we only have 9:
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'kick1.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'kick2.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'kick3.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'snare1.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'snare2.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'snare3.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'hihat1.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'hihat2.mp3'
python3 loops.py | ./a.out 'hihat3.mp3'
And now we can finally invoke FFMPEG to stitch the sounds together and create our drum loops. We'll do that with a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
shopt -s nullglob
mkdir audio_files
for filename in ./*; do
filename="${filename##*/}" # remove path
name="${filename%%.*}"
ext="${filename##*.}"
if [ "$ext" = "txt" ]; then
ffmpeg -f concat -i "$name" -c copy "$name".mp3
mv "$name.mp3" audio_files
fi
done
Did it work? Please tell me it worked...
$ ls -l audio_files/ | wc -l
2305
Off by one error? NOOOOOOO. JK it's fine, I'm not sure where that extra file is coming from but I guess it's no problem. Perhaps my calculations didn't factor in "empty" loops which just consist of silence.
Here's the loop we get by combining k1_156.mp3
, s1_37.mp3
, and h1_12345678.mp3
:
Very satisfying! I can imagine using this technique to automate the creation of somewhat randomized music. Here's a demo of the drum sequencer page you can play with.
Hope this was cool! Warm regards.

Scotland's top ten most dog-friendly pubs revealed
A Glasgow pub has been named the most dog-friendly, but there are nine more across the country.
by Jennifer Russell, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/jennifer-russell/A Glasgow pub has been declared the most dog-friendly in Scotland.
The Stables in Kirkintilloch receiving the most votes to be crowned in Rover’s coveted Dog-friendly Pub Awards.
Rover.com, the world’s largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers, celebrates pubs with dog-friendly initiatives and encourages bars across the UK to welcome four legs as well as two.
The Stables fought off fierce competition from over 70 dog-friendly watering holes across Scotland, but held on to the top spot after accumulating the most public votes.
Locally renowned as a great pit stop after a nice long dog-walk, the pub is hailed for its welcoming approach, special dog menu and doggy station to clean up pups post-walk.
Also making the top ten is Dreadnought Leith in Edinburgh , The Crown Inn in Biggar, Slanj Loch Lomond in Arrochar and The Tickled Trout in Glasgow.
Stuart Brand from the The Stables was delighted with the news, he said: “We’re absolutely delighted, we love to host four-legged guests at our pub.
"We offer them treats, put on event dates and make sure the guests know we have water bowls, treats, a menu and even a doggy beer available to them. We’re chuffed to win this award, it's really great to hear that our guests love the pub as much as us."
Simon Le Grice from Rover added: “Scotland has a fantastic array of dog-friendly pubs for locals to choose from. It’s been wonderful to see so many of them represented in this year’s awards. The community has really got behind their favourite pubs and helped us, for the fourth year running, to find the best of the bunch - and with The Stables in Glasgow, we’ve found just that in Scotland.
"The superb service they demonstrated shows a real consideration for dog welfare and happiness, which we at Rover value above all.
"The whole Rover pack is proud to congratulate The Stables in Glasgow on winning the Dog-friendly Pub Award for Scotland and hopes that the awards will inspire dog owners country-wide to discover and support their local pubs, while also encouraging more pubs to consider our two-legged friends in their offerings.”
The Stables is one of 10 regional finalists in this year’s nationwide Dog-friendly Pub Awards.
The full list of winner are:
- The Stables, Glasgow
- Dreadnought Leith, Edinburgh
- The Crown Inn, Biggar
- Slanj Loch Lomond, Arrochar
- The Tickled Trout, Glasgow
- The Sorn Inn, Sorn
- The Four Seasons, Loch Earn
- Cafe Tartine, Edinburgh
- The Kirkstyle Inn, Perth
- Queen Vic, Aberdeen


| MPI_FILE_OPEN(comm, filename, amode, info, fh) | |
| IN comm | communicator (handle) |
| IN filename | name of file to open (string) |
| IN amode | file access mode (integer) |
| IN info | info object (handle) |
| OUT fh | new file handle (handle) |
int MPI_File_open(MPI_Comm comm, char *filename, int amode, MPI_Info info, MPI_File *fh)
MPI_FILE_OPEN(COMM, FILENAME, AMODE, INFO, FH, IERROR)
CHARACTER*(*) FILENAME
INTEGER COMM, AMODE, INFO, FH, IERROR
static MPI::File MPI::File::Open(const MPI::Intracomm& comm, const char* filename, int amode, const MPI::Info& info)
MPI_FILE_OPEN opens the file identified by the file name filename on all processes in the comm communicator group. MPI_FILE_OPEN is a collective routine: all processes must provide the same value for amode, and all processes must provide filenames that reference the same file. (Values for info may vary.) comm must be an intracommunicator; it is erroneous to pass an intercommunicator to MPI_FILE_OPEN. Errors in MPI_FILE_OPEN are raised using the default file error handler (see Section I/O Error Handling , page I/O Error Handling ). A process can open a file independently of other processes by using the MPI_COMM_SELF communicator. The file handle returned, fh, can be subsequently used to access the file until the file is closed using MPI_FILE_CLOSE. Before calling MPI_FINALIZE, the user is required to close (via MPI_FILE_CLOSE) all files that were opened with MPI_FILE_OPEN. Note that the communicator comm is unaffected by MPI_FILE_OPEN and continues to be usable in all MPI routines (e.g., MPI_SEND). Furthermore, the use of comm will not interfere with I/O behavior.
The format for specifying the file name in the filename argument is implementation dependent and must be documented by the implementation.
Advice
to implementors.
An implementation may require that filename include
a string or strings specifying additional information about the file.
Examples include the type of filesystem (e.g., a prefix of ufs:),
a remote hostname (e.g., a prefix of machine.univ.edu:),
or a file password (e.g., a suffix of /PASSWORD=SECRET).
( End of advice to implementors.)
Advice to users.
On some implementations of MPI,
the file namespace may not be identical from all processes of all applications.
For example,
``/tmp/foo'' may denote different files on different processes,
or a single file may have many names, dependent on process location.
The user is responsible for ensuring that a single file
is referenced by the filename argument,
as it may be impossible for an implementation to detect
this type of namespace error.
( End of advice to users.)
Initially, all processes view the file as a linear byte stream,
and each process views data in its own native representation
(no data representation conversion is performed).
(POSIX files are linear byte streams in the native representation.)
The file view can be changed
via the MPI_FILE_SET_VIEW routine.
The following access modes are supported (specified in amode, a bit vector OR of the following integer constants):
C/C++ users can use bit vector OR (
) to combine these constants;
Fortran 90 users can use the bit vector IOR intrinsic.
Fortran 77 users can use (nonportably) bit vector IOR
on systems that support it.
Alternatively,
Fortran users can portably use integer addition to OR the constants
(each constant should appear at most once in the addition.).
( End of advice to users.)
Advice
to implementors.
The values of these constants must be defined such that
the bitwise OR and the sum of any distinct set
of these constants is equivalent.
( End of advice to implementors.)
The modes MPI_MODE_RDONLY, MPI_MODE_RDWR,
MPI_MODE_WRONLY,
MPI_MODE_CREATE, and MPI_MODE_EXCL have identical semantics
to their POSIX counterparts [29].
Exactly one of MPI_MODE_RDONLY, MPI_MODE_RDWR,
or MPI_MODE_WRONLY,
must be specified.
It is erroneous to specify MPI_MODE_CREATE
or MPI_MODE_EXCL
in conjunction with MPI_MODE_RDONLY;
it is erroneous to specify MPI_MODE_SEQUENTIAL
together with MPI_MODE_RDWR.
The MPI_MODE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE mode causes the file to be deleted (equivalent to performing an MPI_FILE_DELETE) when the file is closed.
The MPI_MODE_UNIQUE_OPEN mode allows an implementation to optimize access by eliminating the overhead of file locking. It is erroneous to open a file in this mode unless the file will not be concurrently opened elsewhere.
Advice to users.
For MPI_MODE_UNIQUE_OPEN, not opened elsewhere includes
both inside and outside the MPI environment.
In particular, one needs to be aware of potential external events
which may open files (e.g., automated backup facilities).
When MPI_MODE_UNIQUE_OPEN is specified,
the user is responsible for ensuring that no such external events take place.
( End of advice to users.)
The MPI_MODE_SEQUENTIAL mode allows an implementation to
optimize access to some sequential devices (tapes and network streams).
It is erroneous to attempt nonsequential access to a
file that has been opened in this mode.
Specifying MPI_MODE_APPEND only guarantees that all shared and individual file pointers are positioned at the initial end of file when MPI_FILE_OPEN returns. Subsequent positioning of file pointers is application dependent. In particular, the implementation does not ensure that all writes are appended.
Errors related to the access mode are raised in the class MPI_ERR_AMODE.
The info argument is used to provide information
regarding file access patterns and file system specifics
(see Section File Info
, page File Info
).
The constant MPI_INFO_NULL
can be used when no info needs to be specified.
Advice to users.
Some file attributes are inherently implementation dependent
(e.g., file permissions).
These attributes must be set using either
the info argument or facilities outside the scope of MPI.
( End of advice to users.)
Files are opened by default using nonatomic mode file consistency semantics
(see Section File Consistency
,
page File Consistency
).
The more stringent atomic mode consistency semantics,
required for atomicity of conflicting accesses,
can be set using MPI_FILE_SET_ATOMICITY.

UEFA president says Platini could perform ‘any role’ after return
by AGENCE FRANCE PRESSETIRANA, Albania, Nov 17 – UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin on Sunday made light of his predecessor Michel Platini’s return to football next week, saying the Frenchman could take any role except that of a player.
Four years after Platini’s ban from all football-related activities for financial wrongdoing, the former UEFA boss is free to work in the sport again on Tuesday.
Ceferin was asked about Platini at Tirana Sunday where he was watching France play Albania in their Euro 2020 qualifier.
“Michel Platini’s ban is over. So he can be part in any role in football except as a football player, I think he is a bit old,” Ceferin said of the 64-year-old.
Platini is on record this week as tantalisingly saying there would be no rush as elections for top roles at FIFA and UEFA are “some years ahead”.
Platini told Swiss television channel RTS in September that he “will be back”.
The former France captain was banned in 2015 for receiving a two-million Swiss francs (1.8 million euros, $2 million) payment from ex-FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, who was himself suspended for six years.
“I will be back. I don’t know where, I don’t know how. I can’t stay on the suspension, even if it’s a suspension made by idiots,” Platini said.
“I was a victim of a form of a plot, yes, totally, between those at FIFA and those at the Swiss public ministry. There was an agreement between FIFA and them to sack me. I’m not going to say it was a plot by the Swiss state,”

This repository contains a collection of samples showcasing some typical uses of Cloud Functions for Firebase.
All samples use the Node 14 runtime and require the Blaze pay-as-you-go billing plan to deploy. Learn more about Cloud Functions for Firebase’s Node versions here.
Cloud Functions is a hosted, private, and scalable Node.js environment where you can run JavaScript code. Cloud Functions for Firebase integrates the Firebase platform by letting you write code that responds to events and invokes functionality exposed by other Firebase features.
To learn how to get started with Cloud Functions for Firebase by having a look at our Getting Started Guide, trying the quickstart samples and looking at the documentation.
This repository contains a few categories of samples:
Here is a set of minimal samples for each Cloud Functions trigger types.
This quickstart sample demonstrates using Cloud Functions triggered by Firebase Realtime Database or Firestore events. The function transforms message text written to Firestore to uppercase.
This quickstart sample demonstrates using Cloud Functions triggered by HTTPS requests. The function returns the current server time and allows for date time formatting.
This quickstart demonstrates using Cloud Functions with an HTTPS trigger that’s triggered through a Firebase Hosting URL. The function will display a repeated number of “BONG”s depending on the hour of the day.
This quickstart sample demonstrates using Cloud Functions triggered by Firebase Storage events. The function generates a thumbnail of uploaded images.
This quickstart sample demonstrates using Cloud Functions triggered by Firebase Auth events. The function sends a Welcome Email when user accounts are created (or when users sign-in using an Identity Provider for the first time) and sends a Goodbye Email when user accounts are deleted.
This quickstart sample demonstrates using Cloud Functions triggered by PubSub events. The functions log the PubSub payload in a Hello world message.
This quickstart demonstrates how to trigger a function in response to the completion of a test matrix in Firebase Test Lab.
The Firebase CLI generates sample code for Cloud Functions using JavaScript or TypeScript.
This sample shows how to serve server-side generated HTML pages using the
HandlebarsJs templating system and
serve user-specific content by always passing the Firebase ID token in a
__session
cookie.
Here are a few samples that show how you can process or analyze images using Cloud Functions.
This sample demonstrates how to create various customized images such as sparkline or sphere charts through Cloud Functions and Hosting and serve it to the client. Uses an HTTP trigger.
Demonstrates how to automatically convert images that are uploaded to Firebase Storage to JPEG using ImageMagick. Uses a Firebase Storage trigger.
Demonstrates how to automatically generate a thumbnail for images that are uploaded to Firebase Storage using ImageMagick and generate a public download link for the images. Uses a Firebase Storage trigger.

This sample shows how to create an action for the Google Home/Assistant using the Actions SDK hosted on Cloud Functions. The sample action asks users to say a number and reads out the ordinal of that number. Uses an HTTP trigger.
This sample shows how to authenticate access to a JSON API to only allow access to data for a specific Firebase user. Uses an HTTP trigger.
This sample shows how to restrict an HTTPS Function to only the Firebase
users of your app. Only users who pass a valid Firebase ID token as a
Bearer token in the Authorization
header of the HTTP request
or in a __session
cookie are authorized to use the function.
Checking the ID token is done with an ExpressJs middleware that also
passes the decoded ID token in the Express request object. Uses an HTTP
trigger.
Demonstrates how to authorize with a 3rd party sign-in mechanism, create a Firebase custom auth token, update the user’s profile and authorize Firebase. Uses an HTTP trigger.
Demonstrates how to automatically post GitHub commits to a Slack channel using an HTTPS triggered Function.

The Sage Manuals#
Sage’s manuals are written in ReST (reStructuredText), and generated with the software Sphinx:
Name |
Files |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, more specialized manuals can be found under
SAGE_ROOT/src/doc/en
.Some documents have been translated into other languages. In order to access them, change en/ into fr/,es/, de/… See Document names.
Editing the documentation#
After modifying some files in the Sage tutorial
(SAGE_ROOT/src/doc/en/tutorial/
), you will want to visualize the result. In
order to build a html version of this document, type:
sage --docbuild tutorial html
You can now open SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/sage/html/en/tutorial/index.html
in
your web browser.
Do you want to add a new file to the documentation? Click here.
For more detailed information on the
--docbuild
command, see Building the manuals.
Run doctests: All files must pass tests. After modifying a document
(e.g. tutorial
), you can run tests with the following command (see
Running automated doctests):
sage -tp SAGE_ROOT/src/doc/en/tutorial/
Reference manual: as this manual is mostly generated from Sage’s source code, you will need to build Sage in order to see the changes you made to some function’s documentation. Type:
sage -b && sage --docbuild reference html
Hyperlinks#
The documentation can contain links toward modules, classes, or methods, e.g.:
:mod:`link to a module <sage.module_name>`
:mod:`sage.module_name` (here the link's text is the module's name)
For links toward classes, methods, or function, replace :mod: by :class:, :meth: or :func: respectively. See Sphinx’ documentation.
Short links: the link :func:`~sage.mod1.mod2.mod3.func1`
is equivalent
to :func:`func1 <sage.mod1.mod2.mod3.func1>`
: the function’s name will be
used as the link name, instead of its full path.
Local names: links between methods of the same class do not need to be
absolute. If you are documenting method_one
, you can write
:meth:`method_two`
.
Global namespace: if an object (e.g. integral
) is automatically imported
by Sage, you can link toward it without specifying its full path:
:func:`A link toward the integral function <integral>`
Sage-specific roles: Sage defines several specific roles:
GitHub issue |
|
|
Wikipedia |
|
|
arXiv |
|
|
On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences |
|
|
Digital Object Identifier |
|
|
MathSciNet |
|
http links: copy/pasting a http link in the documentation works. If you want
a specific link name, use `link name <http://www.example.com>`_
Anonymous hyperlinks: Using a single underscore creates an explicit target
name "link name"
which needs to be unique in the current page. Using the
same target name twice in the same page creates an error while building the
documentation saying WARNING: Duplicate explicit target name: ...
. To
avoid this issue, one can change the target names to be all different or
another option is to use anonymous hyperlinks with two underscores, as in
see `this page <http://www.example.com>`__ or `this page
<http://www.example2.com>`__
.
Broken links: Sphinx can report broken links. See Building the manuals.
Adding a new file#
If you added a new file to Sage (e.g. sage/matroids/my_algorithm.py
) and you
want its content to appear in the reference manual, you have to add its name to
the file SAGE_ROOT/src/doc/en/reference/matroids/index.rst
. Replace
‘matroids’ with whatever fits your case.
The combinat/ folder: if your new file belongs to a subdirectory of combinat/ the procedure is different:
Add your file to the index stored in the
__init__.py
file located in the directory that contains your file.Add your file to the index contained in
SAGE_ROOT/src/doc/en/reference/combinat/module_list.rst
.
Building the manuals#
(Do you want to edit the documentation? Click here)
All of the Sage manuals are built using the sage --docbuild
script. The content of the sage --docbuild
script is defined in
SAGE_ROOT/src/sage_docbuild/__init__.py
. It is a thin wrapper around
the sphinx-build
script which does all of the real work. It is
designed to be a replacement for the default Makefiles generated by
the sphinx-quickstart
script. The general form of the command
is:
sage --docbuild <document-name> <format>
For example:
sage --docbuild reference html
Two help commands which give plenty of documentation for the sage
--docbuild
script:
sage --docbuild -h # short help message
sage --docbuild -H # a more comprehensive one
Output formats: All output formats supported by Sphinx (e.g. pdf) can be used in Sage. See http://www.sphinx-doc.org/builders.html.
Broken links: in order to build the documentation while reporting the broken
links that it contains, use the --warn-links
flag. Note that Sphinx will not
rebuild a document that has not been updated, and thus not report its broken
links:
sage --docbuild --warn-links reference html
Document names#
The <document-name>
has the form:
lang/name
where lang
is a two-letter language code, and name
is the
descriptive name of the document. If the language is not specified,
then it defaults to English (en
). The following two commands do
the exact same thing:
sage --docbuild tutorial html
sage --docbuild en/tutorial html
To specify the French version of the tutorial, you would simply run:
sage --docbuild fr/tutorial html
Syntax highlighting Cython code#
If you want to write Cython code in a ReST file, precede
the code block by .. CODE-BLOCK:: cython
instead of the usual ::
. Enable
syntax-highlighting in a whole file with .. HIGHLIGHT:: cython
. Example:
cdef extern from "descrobject.h":
ctypedef struct PyMethodDef:
void *ml_meth
ctypedef struct PyMethodDescrObject:
PyMethodDef *d_method
void* PyCFunction_GET_FUNCTION(object)
bint PyCFunction_Check(object)

Lasooni Gobi
Ingredients
1 medium sized head of cauliflower, cut into small floretsVegetable oil for frying, plus 2 tablespoons to make the sauce
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
.5 cup rice flour
.5 cup cold water
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste
.25 cup tomato puree
.25 cup water
.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Two pinches salt
Two pinches sugar
Two pinches ketjiap spice
2 sprigs cilantro for garnish
Method Prepration
Evenly sprinkle 2 teaspoons sea salt over cauliflower and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Pre-heat the oil to 350 F. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, water, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, ketjiap spice and mix well with a whisk until combined. Cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary just before serving. Prepare the batter by quickly blending the rice flour and water together in a large bowl. Coat the florets in the batter by placing all of the florets in the bowl. Toss the bowl gently and then carefully drop the florets into the hot oil. Fry the cauliflower until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and then add the cauliflower to the pan. Stir and toss gently to coat the cauliflower with the sauce until well combined. Serve the cauliflower in a bowl garnished with cilantro.


Avoid Mutation by Default
Several weeks back, I was customizing xUnit to cut down on ceremony in my tests. When I ran into some trouble, I started looking through the source code for xUnit, and saw something a little surprising: tests within a test class are executed in a random order. Sure, tests need to be isolated so that test execution order doesn’t affect their success or failure, but randomizing within the test runner seemed like overkill.
If it ever caught an issue, it still wouldn’t tell me where the problem was, right? It seemed like it would be better to execute in a deterministic order so that when I do get myself into trouble, it will be reproducible trouble. Today, though, I was grateful for this behavior. If you’re running tests frequently during development, the very fact that your newly-coded tests start failing at random is informative: “What test is wrong? The one that I just wrote.”
A Trivial Yet Broken Class
I was working on a routine whose job was to produce a date range after taking into account several business rules. If none of the rules applied, we wanted to return the range [DateTime.MinValue, DateTime.MaxValue] to indicate “all the dates we could ever possibly care about”. Each business rule could possibly shorten this range, affecting the start, the end, or both. The overall result was, basically, the range where several other ranges overlapped. I started by creating a helper class, DateRange, as a glorified pair of DateTimes:
To make it clear to the reader that we were starting with “all the dates we could ever possibly care about” and subsequently narrowing that down to the overlapping range, I added a static field:
This field allowed the main algorithm to look something like this:
Do you see the bug? The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad bug? xUnit did.
The 3 rules I was applying were involved yet test-friendly, so it was easy to implement several tests to make sure my bases were covered. All was well, until I got to the seventh test. It failed with an impossible result. The dates in the resulting range didn’t even show up anywhere in my test setup. Mystified, I ran that test in the debugger. It passed! I ran the whole test class a few times, and this one test would pass or fail at random. This was extremely odd, as the code under test seemed to be clearly deterministic.
Excessive Mutation
Realizing that xUnit was running my tests in a different order each time helped me to see my mistake. This implementation of DateRange is mutable, and AllOfTime is static and therefore shared. AllOfTime is a shared mutable thing whose name suggests an immutable thing. AllOfTime is lying.
I had broken my own rule: I make classes immutable by default, making them mutable as soon as being dogmatic starts to hurt. Instead, I had made this mutable from the start and immediately tripped on my own intellectual shoelaces. Marking the properties as read-only forced me to rephrase the main logic, but that actually resulted in simplifying everything and ensured that AllOfTime is in fact all of it:
DateRange deserves to be a value just like DateTimes deserve to be values. You can’t change 10/24/2012 any more than you can change the number 5. 5 will always be 5, 10/24/2012 will always be 10/24/2012, and the range [10/24/2012, 10/31/2012] will always be the range [10/24/2012, 10/31/2012].
As a general rule, I avoid mutation. If I did that everywhere, though, my code would likely become too hard to follow. As soon as keeping things immutable becomes a larger pain than the pain it solves, I back off and allow mutable state to come into the picture. Even then, I try to limit the “footprint” of that state change.
Unnecessary mutation makes it too easy to make trivial mistakes.

Non-Technical, But Detailed, Explanation of Our Business Card Designs!
An assorted collection of our new business cards!
Our new business cards arrived earlier this week, and since showing them around to a few people and getting some very nice feedback, I thought it might be of interest to talk a bit about how they were made.
In particular I wanted to aim this discussion at people who are not intimately familiar with making graphics on computers.
Let’s get into it!
The Cards
First, let’s take a look at the cards themselves up close:
The Logo
Now, the most obvious thing I want to point out is the awesome logo, designed by the amazing Ren Harris, which we’ve talked about previously
The one adjustment I made for the card was to make the shadow itself multicoloured, which is typically blueish. See here:
If I have any regrets, it’s that I only did this once, so that although every card has a different background, the logo itself is the same. This might change in future versions of the cards.
The Part With The Details
The space background you see on the website, and on the cards, was actually designed by me, in the programming language Haskell.
I was heavily inspired by this image (unfortunately I’m unable to find any details on the original artist by Nelson Gonçalves, thanks to Nathan of Our Community for finding the source!):
I spent some time trying to recreate this image in code; you can find my experiments here. Ultimately, due to strong feedback from various people, I dropped parts of the design that people didn’t like, and settled just on the space part.
The approach I used in code is this:
- In a square grid, place random circles of various colours (red, blue, white) in a random spot,
- In a smaller rectangle, place smaller dots,
- Rotate the image,
- That’s it!
Not too complicated, but it gives a nice simple result, and it’s fun to have the process in code, so that I can generate new ones, and add new features easily, if I decide to do so.
The Colourful Part
This is probably the most interesting part. First, we have to acknowledge Moo whose feature of allowing up to 50 different “backs” allowed us to print this many cards. We printed them on the rounded cotton kind made from old T-shirts.
So, great, Moo was going to let us print up to 50 designs each. All I needed to do was make 50 unique-looking backs.
To do this, I used my favourite flavour-of-the-last-few-years technique, called the “CPPN”. The Wikipedia article isn’t very enlightening, so let’s take a closer look ourselves.
Background: Images on Computers - A Grid of Numbers
So, the first thing we need to understand in order to get a feeling for how these images are generate is how we represent an image on a computer.
Consider the following image:
It illustrates the following idea: We can take a picture, and encode it into the computer using a grid of numbers. Each element of the grid is referred to as a “pixel”.
For the moment, consider that the image we’re working with is black and white.
The process is:
- Build a grid of a certain size (here, our side has 5 columns and 5 rows),
- Put a number \(1\) when the pixel is “on” (coloured in black) and a \(0\) when the pixel is “off” (white).
- That’s it!
We can think of a colour image very similarly. We typically refer to colour images as “RGB” images, where RGB stands for “Red, Green, Blue”. It refers to how much of the given colour is present in the given pixel. By combining different amounts of colour, we can create any colour.
Here’s an indicative image from Wikipedia:
Note that different colours are generated in the overlapping regions. We can think about a colour image version of our smile:
Note this time we have three grids of numbers, one for each colour “channel”. I’ve put the number “1” in the given colour, so it’s a bit easier to see.
To summarise:
- We can represent pictures in computers by collections of “pixels” (grids of numbers)
- The numbers vary between zero (completely off) and one (completely on). This let’s us control what colour is created.
Let’s continue on!
The Idea of a CPPN - Functions Defining Pixels
(Note: I promised this is a non-technical article, but here we get a little bit mathematical and programmatical, because that’s the nature of how we solve this problem. Rest assured, the details of the code you’re about to see aren’t that important; the main thing is the pictures!)
We want to now think about how we can build an image, by thinking about the grid.
Let’s return to our grid. Consider the rows and columns only, for the time being:
I’ve placed and \(x\) at row 3, column 2. Great! But it’s going to be very time-consuming to do this by hand.
Let’s think of a way to compute a given value for a row and column, from just the row and column number themselves!
Here’s an idea — let’s just add the numbers together!
\[ \text{compute_value} (\text{row}, \text{column}) = \text{row} + \text{column} \]
Here’s what this looks like in code:
Using the procedure we learned above, we can interpret this as an image, by dividing every element by \(8\) (the maximum value in the grid) and then considering it as a greyscale image:
Cool! If we increase the number of elements in the grid, making a 500x500 pixel image, we get the following image:
One thing that we can notice in both these pictures is that pixels near each other, are similar in colour. In mathematics, we can describe this as phenomenon by saying that the image is “smooth”. The only reason we care about smoothness is that it makes an image that looks nice. But of course, the above images don’t look particularly interesting in any way.
Interesting images!
Let’s make a few important steps.
Step 1 - Let’s normalise the row number and column nunmber by dividing them by the image size, so that \(r\) and \(c\) will always be between \(0\) and \(1\). This will mean that we can generate images of arbitrary size.
Step 2 - Let’s formalise the thing we’re going to find. It’s going to be a function \(f\), and it’s going to take a row \(r\) and a column \(c\) and it’s going to give us an RGB pixel value, \((r, g, b)\).
\[ f(r, c) = (r,g,b) \]
Once we have this function, we can use it to make our image, by running it for each pixel location, and in this way build a colour image, like so:
So the goal is now: Find a function \(f\) that is much more interesting than just adding together the rows and columns, and implement it!
One option is to do it “by hand”, by picking some collection of mathematical functions. For example, I picked the following definition (just using a few functions you may remember from high-school mathematics; the trigonometric functions “cos”, “sin”, and “tanh”), and made a neat-looking image:
In other words, we did this:
Now, of course, we do neural networks and deep learning here, so can you guess what we’d like to do instead of hand-code the definition of \(f\)?!
Building The Image With a Neural Network!
So, we just swap out our hand-coded function, and put a neural network in it’s place:
If you want the details, then in this picture:
- The first two circles (called “neurons”) are the input numbers, the row number and the column numbers
- The columns of circles are called layers,
- The lines between the circles are random numbers (called “weights”),
- The inner circles are the sum of the values flowing along the lines multiplied by the numbers associated with the lines
- The function at the top is a final function that is applied to each value on each circle
- The last function,
sigmoid
, just squishes the values into the range \(0\) to \(1\)
But the important part is our picture (and result!) now looks like so:
Importantly, we note some things:
- The picture is “richer”; i.e. it’s not just a simple gradient.
- We can add parameters to the network, to get new images. For example, we can vary the number of neurons per layer, or the number of layers.
For example, let’s change the number of neurons per layer to 200:
Let’s also change the number of layers to 5
Clearly, we can get different and varied images! Indeed, there’s a rich world to explore here. There are many more parameters that can be added, and many more cool images to be created.
I’ve wrapped up some of the functionality into a library called cppn-cli. It’s not perfect, but I’ve used it a few times. And, of course, I used it to make the business cards!
Conclusion
I hope this was an interesting view into how some of the graphics are designed here at the Braneshop! One big thing I’ve really enjoyed over the last few years of thinking about neural networks and deep learning is the various ways they can be used to make cool pictures.
For me, it seems that there is just endless amounts of time that can be spent this way!
Let me know if you found this fun/interesting, or there is something else you’d like to know more about!

LSD |
(blotter / tab) |
Over the last few years I've been increasingly interested in psychoactive drugs and did a fair bit of reading. Like most I imagine, I was quite nervous about the idea of trying mind altering substances, but my curiosity got the best of me I guess. The only other substance I've used before has been marijuana, and by crude comparison, LSD didn't seem to be much worse in terms of bodily physical/mental damage.
A buddy of mine at work seemed to know a good deal on the subject, his own experiences and understandings seemed to match up from what I learned from other sources online. So I gave in and asked him to get me a hit or two. He recommended that a first-timer should really just try one hit, but the ones he had on him at the time were of relatively lower potency, so I was given a hit and a half for roughly the value of one.
At home by myself the afternoon came where I was going to try my first trip. Roughly around 6pm I was listening to some music and playing some console video games on the computer for an hour or so. I got up, took the acid out of the freezer and popped it down with a swig of coke.  Oh well, I just plunked myself back down in my comfy leatherback chair and resumed listening to Tool and just relaxed. 10 minutes. Nothing happened. 20, 30, 40, 50! I was thinking to myself, 'What the hell, were they duds?' I knew the guy at work for a while now, felt I could trust him no problem and wouldn't give me just little coloured pieces of paper. I mean he gave them to me for pocket change, so I didn't feel ripped off. I shrugged it off and resumed playing some games.
Almost an hour and a half later I kept noticing little blotches of light appear in the corners of my eye. I could swear that something just moved or scurried along the floor like a mouse would. Occasionally I rubbed my eyes while playing that game because either my vision got a bit blurry or the colors were intensifying. I got up quickly and started for the bathroom for some reason (maybe to check my eyes? can't remember) but I felt all woozy and slightly disoriented, like I was drunk, but it wasn't the same, almost like a 'cleaner' drunken sensation. For some reason I kept clenching my teeth together, but it wasn't bothersome. I must've got up, walked around a few paces, sit back down about five or six times. After about an hour of that I trudged into the bathroom and looked at my puples, wide as nickels. Almost immediately I started to giggle and laugh at myself. I don't think a grin left my face the rest of the night.
Now I wanted to experience everything all over again. I remember pouring salt and pepper on the table and closely examining it, moving it around watching the spacing between the granules seem to take shape of drawn fictitious faces almost cartoon like. I would dab up a small amount with my finger and feel its coarseness between my fingers as I rubbed it together, the tips of my fingers would tingle afterwords. I made some freshly ground coffee and carefully boiled the water. The smell of it brewing was nothing short of amazing and was intense, like I was smelling the insides of a factory processing bags of gourmet coffee beans. The taste was too complicated for me to describe, the slightly bitterness on the sides of my tounge with richness in the background and sweet taste of cream. It might sound silly, but it was one damn good cup of coffee.
Then I took a shower, a 25-30 minute shower. The feel of the shampoo in my hair lathering, scrubbing my arms with a wash cloth, pretty simple, common place stuff everyone does in the morning, but for that instant I don't think I felt more alive coming out of the shower than ever before. I dried off and laid on the bed with the fan on just staring at the ceiling. The bedroom ceiling is all white and textured by gooping plaster on it with a sponge giving lots of detail. The single light is centered and is mounted quite closely to the ceiling, casting countless shadows on the little plaster marks giving them relief and depth. In the dim light I watched in amazement as they calmly moved around and seemingly arranging into little faces like with the salt I explained earlier, making single-color mountans, valles and trees.
After a good hour of that I managed to make myself get up and get something to eat out of the 'fridge. I finished off the other half of a sandwich from subway and it really seemed better than the first half I had hours earlier. For the next couple hours I listened to music with winamp visualizations running fullscreen. The colors were captivating and I simply got lost in it.  Several hours later I felt the effects wearing off and decided to head to bed.
Without recalling any dreams I woke up feeling quite 'blah' and drained, but not the hangover I was expecting. I had a shower, but it just wasn't the same I like last night. The blah feeling wore off gradually during the day and felt fine afterwords. LSD was an amazing experience that I will defiantly try again sometime. I doubt that I'll increase the amount I took the first time.

General election 2019: The town that won't get a choice
by Katie Wright & Ella WillsAt every general election, there is one constituency in the UK where the voters don't get to vote for the main parties.
"A pointless vote."
"Undemocratic."
"A sham."
Those are the views of some of the 80,000-strong electorate in Buckingham, who feel they haven't had a democratic say at a general election since 2005.
That's because Buckingham's MP has been John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons for the last 10 years.
A longstanding parliamentary tradition means major parties agree not to stand against the Speaker, who is considered to be politically neutral.
The convention is occasionally broken by some parties - such as the Green Party and UKIP - but that didn't hamper the re-election of Mr Bercow.
He won his seat at the last election in 2017, standing as "the Speaker seeking re-election", with 65% of the vote - a majority of more than 25,000.
"It looked for a while as though Bercow would never go - that we would never actually get a meaningful vote," jokes Phil Harriss, 57, from the village of Brill, 16 miles from Buckingham.
He started a campaign called "Give us a voice, not a Speaker" before the 2015 election when his daughter became eligible to vote.
"I realised she didn't really have a meaningful vote and neither did anyone else in the constituency," he said. "We haven't had since 2005."
The predominantly rural constituency of Buckingham is nestled between Oxford, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes and covers Chequers - the official country residence of the prime minister.
Phil, who is not affiliated to a particular party, said there was a lack of awareness about the situation facing Buckingham voters - both within the constituency and outside.
People would vote for Mr Bercow thinking they were voting Conservative, he said, but they didn't realise that, as Speaker, he no longer represented the party.
He said the problem didn't stop at elections, but also between elections the Speaker didn't vote in Parliament "so effectively we're not represented".
"The more I investigated it, it just seems so undemocratic," he said. "There's a lot of things that need modernising in Parliament and this is certainly one of them. It's a sham."

Lifetime Conservative supporter Trevor Nicosia, 60, from Princes Risborough, described his vote at the last three elections as "useless".
"Why do I go down to the polling station? I do because that's democracy and my son is 20 and it would be bad for me to not set an example for my kids.
"But it seems a bit pointless.
After Mr Bercow's retirement as Speaker, Labour MP and deputy Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle was elected as his replacement on Monday.
So now it's the turn of the voters in Sir Lindsay's constituency of Chorley, Lancashire, to find their options restricted.
The market town of Chorley sits at the heart of the south Lancashire constituency - a mainly rural area lying to the north west of Manchester.
Laura Crowther, a 39-year-old teacher from Chorley, said she was "really angry" that at such an important time in British politics, her MP has essentially been assured his seat by Parliament.
She said Sir Lindsay, who has held the seat since 1997, would probably have been re-elected.
But "to deny me and thousands of others our chance to at least have our say - even if the outcome would probably be the same - just seems a little unfair and, frankly, corrupt".
Laura has always voted in elections, but said she was unsure what to do this time around, although she was leaning towards spoiling her ballot.
"Why don't they take his parliamentary seat from him and allow another Labour candidate to stand in Chorley - then at least the people are given their hard-fought right to vote?" she asked.
Voting in his second general election will be 22-year-old Oliver Knights, who represents the Young Conservatives in Chorley but admitted there was no longer any point in trying to drum up support for the Tories in his hometown.
"For this election I'll canvass support in other constituencies. There are a lot of marginal seats in Lancashire, so I'm trying to think of the bigger picture."
Oliver said despite having different party allegiances to the new Speaker, he would probably vote for Sir Lindsay rather than spoil his ballot paper.
Not voting isn't an option, he added, as "it's a right that people died for".
He said while it was disappointing not to get a choice at the election, the increasing prominence of the role of Speaker, largely down to Mr Bercow, could benefit his town.
He hopes Sir Lindsay getting the position will help "create a buzz" in the area and engage people in politics.
"If you take a step back then it gives Chorley uniqueness," he said, "only we have the Speaker".
