TikTok owner ByteDance plans to launch music streaming
by ReutersTikTok owner Beijing ByteDance Technology Co Ltd is in talks with big music labels – Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music – for global licensing deals to include their songs on its new music subscription service, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
ByteDance is looking to launch its music streaming as soon as next month, initially in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia and Brazil, before a future opening in the United States, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
In addition to on-demand music, ByteDance’s app will include a library of short video clips for listeners to search through and synch to songs as they listen, the report added.
ByteDance has not given a name to its music app yet and pricing remains unclear, although it is expected to cost less than the $10 a month charged by Spotify Technology SA, Apple Inc and others in the United States, according to the report.
The company was not immediately available for comment on Sunday.

Adding packs
Each course consists of a number of packs. You can use
these to keep similar things together or have all cards
that you want to learn by a certain date. Unless you
set due dates for your cards, they are
introduced in the order of your packs. It is useful to
keep simple things in your first packs and the more
difficult ones for later.


CloudWatch is a convenient way to store logs in AWS, especially in Cloud-centric application design.
Sometimes this may mean interacting with virtual machine compute instances, such as EC2, but might also include baremetal servers too.
First, ssh to the desired server and do the following and obtain the awslogs agent:
curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cloudwatch/downloads/latest/awslogs-agent-setup.py -O
Next run the agent install setup, and if this is an EC2 instance, select a region as well using the --region flag.
sudo python ./awslogs-agent-setup.py --region us-west-2
At this point the installer might ask you a bunch of questions, in particular the following.
After all of the questions have been answer, then the awslogs service will start and the contents of the log in question will be sent.
Check the status of the server using either service or systemctl:
sudo service awslogs status
[or]
sudo systemctl status awslogs
Afterwards edit the awslogs config:
sudo vim /var/awslogs/etc/awslogs.conf
The content of this file should resemble:
[/var/log/nginx/access.log]
datetime_format = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S
file = /var/log/nginx/access.log
buffer_duration = 5000
log_stream_name = /var/log/nginx/access.log
initial_position = end_of_file
log_group_name = /aws/ec2/hostname.of.ec2
Then restart the awslogs service, using the method relevant to the Linux distribution present on the EC2 instance or server; typically one of these commands:
sudo service awslogs restart
[or]
sudo systemctl restart awslogs
This will result in the logs being sent to AWS CloudWatch, which can be found under the log group name of /aws/ec2/hostname.of.ec2, with a steam name of /var/log/nginx/access.log.

Online Advertisement is a form of advertisement that uses internet pages to deliver the messages to the consumers for content promotion. Now we have almost 20 billion users over the internet, making Internet the biggest platform for advertisement. And today most of the sellers are using digital media for advertisement. As the need of digital platform increases, the types of attacks are being advanced day by day that causes many problems in digital marketing fields in terms of reputation as well as revenue.
The most prominent frauds that need to be taken care in digital advertisement are Ad frauds and more particularly click frauds. Click Fraud is a method of generating illegitimate clicks on digital ads by making repeating clicks, with the intention of generating revenue for the host website and draining the revenue from the advertiser. From 2014 to 2017 itself, the impact of click fraud has led to high revenue losses in the digital marketing sector. More needs to be done to detect these attacks efficiently and make the online advertisement realm free from these kinds of frauds.
In this project, our goal is to mine the logs of click patterns and develop machine learning models for detecting click frauds. The available logs from the customer are used to generate a labelled dataset (using the existing rule-set), which is the starting point for training the models. This project will leverage past research in anomaly detection as well as in supervised and unsupervised learning. A user’s click patterns are mined, keeping in view the current clicks as well as the history of the user. The users which falls under the suspicious category (based on a set of preliminary parameters), their click patterns are subjected to additional analysis.

TStreamRequestEvent = procedure(Sender: TObject; const SRC: string;
var Stream: TStream) of Object;
The TStreamRequestEvent type is the type for the OnStreamRequest event. This event allows a handler to respond with an HTML document in stream form when a request is made for a new document. The parameters are:
SRCA string identifying the document requested. This string will usually be taken from a SRC= attribute.
StreamThe stream containing the HTML text supplied by the event handler.
The following points are important in writing the event handler:
In general, you must respond with a valid Stream parameter. If NIL is returned for the Stream parameter, TFrameViewer will attempt to load the file identified by SRC. However, this is unreliable unless SRC contains a filename with the full path.
Only one of the event handlers in the group, OnBufferRequest, OnFileRequest, OnStreamRequest, and OnStringsRequest, may be active at the same time.

Welcome. BAT (or "Bat") is an in-development experimental build tool for Java.
It reuses the Maven mechanism for dependency resolution, though in a slightly different way.
Bat build files are in JSON5 format. Its properties may be ordered in any way.
Bat is a GUI application. You can do usual tasks from it: build, run, package a Jar, create a native runtime image. Also it has Maven repository navigation controls.
Bat is free software, but with closed code.
Bat build/project file is called project.json5. An example of one:
{
"group_id": "dev.buildtool",
"artifact_id": "bat",
"version": "0.1.0",
"source_dir": "src/main/java",
"output_dir": "classes",
"image_dir": "images",
"main_class": "dev.buildtool/dev.buildtool.bat.BAT",
target_bytecode: "11",
"dependencies": [
{
"group_id": "org.openjfx",
"artifact_id": "javafx-controls",
"version": "11.0.2"
},
{
"group_id": "org.jsoup",
"artifact_id": "jsoup",
"version": "1.13.1"
},
{
group_id: "dev.buildtool",
artifact_id: "json-tools",
"version": "0.2.0"
}
]
}
Group, artifact and version are specified as per Maven conventions. Other properties:
Bat is a Java application, it requires Java 11 and JavaFX. Skip this section if you know how to install them.
Once you downloaded the JRE, make sure that your system knows its path.
You can learn how to set Java path here.
Same for JavaFX path - here.
Launch the Bat jar with a following command (or use the provided script):
a) If on Linux: java -jar --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules javafx.controls BAT.jar
b) If on Windows: java -jar --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls BAT.jar
You can create a start script yourself, of course.
Select a project directory. Create a project.json5 file and fill in necessary properties, or press "Configure project" to make Bat create a stub. Once you set the group id and artifact id, press that button again to make Bat create directories and module-info file derived from the artifact and group ids.
Specify necessary dependencies in a standard Maven way, and configure project again. Bat will try to resolve dependencies and download them to the local Maven. If you don't specify the version of a dependency, then Bat will download a last "release" version of it. If the process goes wrong, you can interrupt it by pressing "Finish".
You can use the Maven search field to find the artifacts. The list will show directory structure of the repository. You can navigate among directories by double-clicking; right-clicking on the POM file will show the primary information about that artifact.
You can monitor the console for details and any exceptions that happen.
Once you've written some code, you can build it. If you specified the main class, you can also run it.
"Build custom image" will create a runtime image of the application.
That's it with the basic usage. Remember that when you make any changes in the project file, you must reconfigure the project.
Issues can be reported here. This tool needs testing in real world scenarios; my goal is to develop an independent and convenient to use build tool.

Delhi II - First Night, part 2
What ACTUALLY happened
In reality, I’m being a bit retarded. Not so much a shark, more of a deranged hippo in a sewer.
Did you catch what was going on? I obviously didn’t and it took me half a day and a few conversations with other travellers to really appreciate the beauty of what happened here.
Of course they were all in on it! The whole thing is a brazen scam and famous enough that I could have avoided it just by doing some basic research on Delhi. Oh well…
So here’s the thing: There’s exactly one official, legit tourist information in Delhi. This one wasn’t it. You find places calling themselves “Government Tourist Information” all over town, but these places are just travel agencies exploiting tourists’ belief that anything calling itself that must be legit. Nope, not in India.
Here is how it works: The tuktuk driver finds some pretense to take his passengers to one of those agencies - a festival, a political event, the second coming of the messiah. The agency picks up the pretense for why you can’t get to your hotel. In the absence of an internet connection you can’t really check. When they offer to call the hotel, they don’t dial the number you give them, instead they dial their accomplices in the room next door, who’ll play along and confirm the initial pretense. In the meantime the agency tries to sell you on overpriced tour packages.  At this point, the driver will take you to whatever hotel they recommend instead. There you’ll be drastically overcharged for the room, a part of which goes to the driver as a commission for luring you there in the first place.
Simple, eh? I fell for it completely. When I figured it out I felt this particular mixture of anger and shame you get when you find yourself scammed. I briefly entertained the notion of going back to the ‘Government Tourist Information’ and having a little chat with them. I daydreamed of the whole building burning down and the smell of bacon rising from their charred bodies. In the end, none of that came to pass. Instead, I put it down as a learning experience:
There is always room for a bit more cynicism: If you’re reading this you’re likely a fairly sceptical person - by western standards. In India, that’s not enough. Somebody says they work for the government? Could be, but I wouldn’t count on it.  Maybe, but it’s unlikely. The truth had a distinctly subjective flavour in Delhi and I felt myself tiring of that, especially with the petty, bold-faced lies of vendors, tour guides and drivers. I’ve always tried to think the worst of people, but some people managed to be even worst-er. Lesson learned.
Common sense, bring it: No free hotel rooms under 150 USD a night. Come on. Think about it: Delhi has a population of about 20 million. Average monthly income is around 300 USD. Sound fishy? My only excuse is that it was really late and I was really tired and…eh, forget it.
Get that SIM card at the airport: The internet is a fantastic way of fact-checking a lot of things. Festival dates for example, or hotel prices. Addresses even. Don’t rely on other peoples’ internet connections, they have a habit of cutting out at inconvenient times.
A sidenote: About 4 out of 5 western travelers I spoke to in Delhi had fallen for the exact same scam. One of them had been taken for 250 USD that night. All of them seemed to feel that mixture of embarrassment and amazement at the shamelessness of the scam. Why the city is allowing those places to keep using the whole ‘government’ label is beyond me, though I do have a suspicion…
This first night was probably the crappiest first impression I ever got of a country. Luckily, after that things got better: I met some amazing people, saw some incredibly sights and had a great time overall. Despite what you have read so far, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in India. More on that later.
Until next time,
Arne

PassShark - iPhone style password masking using MooTools
PassShark.js is a free and easy-to-implement password masking class developed using MooTools.
Inspired and based on the excellent iPhone and iPod touch password dialogue.
This is our first officially released MooTools plugin, with many more already in development.
PassShark is a small component in a series of Form based plugins, specifically being created
for the next major release of Ether.Flex CMS, v2.
A brief history
Recently there has been a debate regarding password fields and usability. The main arguments centre
around two concepts: 1-Safety and 2-Accessibility of the presentation methods. If interested, please read
this blog post
by Stefan Ullrich, the author of the jQuery plugin which inspired PassShark. His post is a
basic analysis in response to Stop Password Masking written by Jakob Nielsen.
To summarise, the goal with delayed password masking, is to help the user through a less painful way of
populating forms and specifically password fields. This methodology is fast becoming popular
on Mobile Devices, Desktop applications and the Web browser alike... We think this is a good thing!
The Demo
Features and Compatibility
- Written in MooTools. Requires -Core version 1.2.4 + and -More <IP_ADDRESS> +
- Tested on Safari 3+, Firefox 3+, Opera 10+, Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
- No need to modify your original HTML. The password field is automatically found by type (input type="password").
- Unobtrusive: users with Javascript deactivated still get the standard 'masked' password field.
- Supports copy & paste.
Usage
Dependencies
- A full version of MooTools-Core (included, 70kb compressed) provides everything you'll need.
- From MooTools-More, the following components are required: Class.Occlude.js, Log.js, Class.Binds.js
Options
- interval Time in milliseconds PassShark checks for newly entered characters.
- duration Delay in milliseconds for the last inputted character.
- replacement The unicode symbol which replaces (masks) already inputted characters. Default is '%u25CF'.
Note '%u....' prefix is needed in Javascript for utf-8 encoding. - debug Displays actions in the console at runtime, to help debug your implementation. Default is 'false'.
Notes and Fixes
- The "onStateChange" event is commented so that the activate() and deactivate() methods,
when implemented, can be executed with fireEvent() if needed.
- Inability to use ' (apostrophe) characters.
- The cursor would move to the end on any key stroke, especially annoying if the cursor is elsewhere.
- When converting the last character-to-symbol with the a duration delay, the input field is focused,
which is irritating if the input field is previously unfocused (blur). - Errors on deletion of the original field value, which is highly unsafe.
- Deleting a multiple character selection would cause the same errors as stated above and others.
- Deleting a single character wouldn't work if the character was not the last one.
Release date, Source code and Notes
v1.0 released: November 14th, 2009.Full source code, this README file and other Notes can be found on GitHub: http://github.com/Rendez/MooTools

This R data package provides access to the expenses claim data for UK Members of Parliament from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
ipsar
aims to do two things:
data.parliament
Members’ Name Data Platform through the mnis
R package by Evan Odell.The package provides access to MPs raw expenses data for over 1.4 million expenses claims between May 2010 and the end of March 2018 (latest data). The package also links the IPSA expenses claims data with the data.parliament Members' Name Data Platform
API service through MP standard IDs (member_id). The package aims to assist researchers interested in combining MPs expenses data with data.parliament
data.
ipsar
is an independent data package based on public data and is not associated with, supported or endorsed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has made data on MPs expenses available since May the 7th 2010, the day after the 2010 General Election. No data is available prior to May 7th 2010. IPSA expenses data is organised by UK financial years (1st of April to 31st of March).
Raw expenses data for individual members is presently available as a set of .csv downloads from the IPSA website at http://www.theipsa.org.uk/mp-costs/other-published-data/ and by selecting the dropdown for Individual Claims for the financial year. The image below displays the drop down for accessing the raw individual financial year records from IPSA. For information on new releases follow IPSA on Twitter at ipsaUK.
For individual constituencies you can use the search tool or map on the IPSA website. A website called MP Expenses Info also provides access to MP expenses data by individual MPs and in summary form but does not provide access to the underlying raw data. If you are just looking for information about your MP or a quick overview then these sites are probably a better source of information.
New data is made available every two months and has a delay of three months.1 At the time of writing in early September 2018, the complete data for the 2017 to 2018 financial year had recently become available. The package thus provides time series data for financial years from May 2010 to the end of March 2018.
ipsar is not on CRAN as it contains some large files but can be installed from Github. To install it you will need devtools.
ipsar contains two simple convenience functions for loading the data into your global environment.

This table covers 950 existing and former Members of Parliament. It is important to know that:
display_as
is the preferred data.parliament
system name and is duplicated as dp_name
mps_name
is the name used by IPSA for recording MPs expenses and is duplicated as ipsa_name
commons_short
is the name used for matching between the two sources as described in the vignette
The key field for the data.parliament
service is the member_id
.
An effort has been made to preserve the records for MPs who leave the House of Commons and those who move to the House of Lords to assist with historical research. This information is recorded in the supplementary column current_role
as either MP, Lords or Ex. For everyday use you will normally want to drop the Ex and Lords entries. To filter only to current MPs in the ipsa_commons
concordance table use:
library(tidyverse)
ipsa_commons %>%
dplyr::filter(current_role == "MP") %>%
head() %>%
knitr::kable()

Data cleaning and name matching is described in detail in the vignette. Here is a quick summary.
The IPSA data frame has undergone minimal cleaning:
janitor::clean_names()
lubridate::ymd()
.Linking with the Members’ Name Data Platform
The Members’ Name Data Platform (formerly the Member Name Information Service (mnis)) operated by data.parliament
provides API access to a range of name based data. The most important of these is the member identifier number (member_id
) as the key to data within the wider data.parliament
services. This is not presently included with IPSA data and therefore prevents easy linking with the data.parliament
service.
The ipsa
table now includes member_id
. A concordance table for the ipsa data is provided as ipsa_commons
.

Matching ipsa and data.parliament data involved three main issues
ipsa
mps_name
field does not exactly match with the name fields in the data.parliament
data, notably the display_name
field in data.parliament
.house_end
column. Where an MP continues in post the house_end
data is NA (Not Available). Where an MP moves to the House of Lords, their history as an MP effectively disappears in the data.parliament
data and their name changes in the record (e.g. former Labour MP David Blunkett became Lord Blunkett). This means that their name no longer matches with the IPSA name. The package seeks to preserve the link to assist with historical research.The cleaning steps involved in harmonizing the datasets are covered in detail in the package vignette.
The current_role column
To enable historical research a column current_role
has been added. This involves allocating members to three categories:
Where a former MP has moved to the Lords they are recorded as Lords even though they are no longer covered by the IPSA system (because IPSA only deals with MPs expenses claims). A summary of these entries can be seen below.
| current_role | n |
|---|---|
| Ex | 271 |
| Lords | 31 |
| MP | 650 |
This produces the expected 650 MPs at the time of writing on the 2018-09-03.
The actual expenses data consisting of over 1.4 million records is presented as is. Note that the category, expense_type, short_description and details columns are likely to require significant clean up to arrive at consistent results. In addition attention is drawn to the need to review the amount_claimed
, amount_paid
, amount_not_paid
and amount_repaid
columns when exploring MPs expenses to avoid under or overcounting.
The ipsar
package has been developed independently from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) using data made publicly available by IPSA in fulfilment of its mandate from the UK Parliament. As noted above ipsar
is an independent data package based on public data and is not associated with, supported or endorsed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA). The ipsar
package is provided without warranty. Members’ Name Data Platform information (MNIS) data from data.parliament
is made available under the Open Parliament Licence.

Erin's Portfolio
This is my portfolio.
Click here to see yours truly :)
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Erin Limbo, I am an incoming sophomore studying Computer Science at UC Berkeley. This summer I will be participitating ing Google's STEP intern program.
Things have changed since the 'Rona came around. I will no longer be working on Google's Mountain View campus. That was pretty upsetting news. Then, our project got changed form its original plans and now we can not use Google's code base. Also upsetting, but nonetheless I am excited for the rest of this summer. I can't wait to learn, meet new people, and enjoy my passion to its fullest.
My favorite projects:

Whole articles? Ain’t nobody got time for that! That’s why Y’all need Meme the News. Memes are salty. Think before you scroll. I don’t stand behind every meme here. They are all presented as food for thought!
Some people call me a conspiracy theorist because I say things outloud that are on the safety insert from the manufacturer.

Parts of this are cool. I prefer something like “I’m the most important person in the room… and so are you!” Get it… we’re all one!
Can’t confirm this. Fist time I’ve seen it. Maybe…

There’s a thing called duper’s delight. It happens when they lie. You see a little smile creep up because they are happy to be getting away with the lie. Worth considering…

Mon May 10, 2004
We´re having the best time!!! we arrived in La Fortuna yesterday, here in Costa Rica. One of the first places we went was the natural hot springs, heated by the Volcano and just relaxed in successively hotter pools. Angela amazed our tour guide by jumping into the hottest pool at the top, over 65 degrees centigrade. On the lower levels they had a swim up bar and they didn´t mind taking wet money. It was all rather luxurious and ostentatious but we loved it. Today we went white water rafting on a class 3 river, it was lots of fun shooting the rapids and ducking under vines and checking out the awesome birds and scenery. We then went on a Volcano hike throught the rainforest and our guide pointed out some animals, like spider monkeys. We arrived at the viewpoint at sunset and watched the lava rocks tumble down the volcano like bright red stars, it was quite a sight.
We´ve had quite a few adventures up to this point since Mexico, too much to tell right now. I think I´ll just save it for another time when I can really get my teeth into it and spin out some anecdotes later on when I have more time. For now I´ll just say that we made it through Central America in more or less one piece and are having a blast. I still have to write about the rest of Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua where we stayed mostly, but I´ll have to do a U-turn on that and come back to it later. Tomorrow we´re heading up into the cloud forest at Monteverde, can´t wait!

EXPLANATORY NOTE: Mr Q. Z. Diablo would like to apologise in advance to The Phantom for the tone of this review. The Phantom reviewed horror films from about 1989 until about 1993 in this forum (rec.arts.movies.reviews). Mr Diablo has derived more pleasure from The Phantom's film reviews than those of any other reviewer, either in cyberspace or on paper, amateur or professional. He hopes that The Phantom will regard this review as a homage rather than a cynical attempt to ape the style of another for some kind of perverse personal gain.
It was an inclement Sunday night when Mr Diablo dragged a reluctant bandmate to view THE MATRIX. The local multiplex is not necessarily Mr Diablo's preferred haunt but the sheer power of hype was to be reckoned with. Unlike The Phantom, Mr Diablo actually prefers art-house cinemas with their coffee and black-clad patrons discussing possibly mediocre films in an oh-so-serious manner (readers should refer to the explanatory note and search in IMDB or DejaNews if this reference escapes them). The plan was initially to go to the 6pm screening but distractions of a musical kind caused attendance to be delayed until the 9pm show. The assumption that the late screening time on a Sunday would dissuade Joe and Josephine average from venturing out to the cinema was horribly mistaken. They were out in their droves and Mr Diablo was to be found muttering obscenities sotto voce while staring in dismay at the lengthy queue, which stretched almost from the ticket office almost to the amusement arcade opposite. It seemed that Sunday night's treat was to be abandoned. Somehow he obtained a ticket and his response to the cinematic entertainment purchased for the princely sum of $10 is the subject of the next few paragraphs.
THE MATRIX is a not so much a genre film as a genres film and yet somehow avoids being generic. It simply bristles with ideas, albeit mostly other people's (just like this review, the author hopes). Loosely speaking, the genre can be classified as science fiction which runs a distant second to Mr Diablo's preferred horror films, of which there has recently been a sad lack in either mainstream or art-house release, the abysmal URBAN LEGEND and I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER notwithstanding. As SF goes, THE MATRIX is a rather seductive excursion into cyberpunk which possesses all the usual accoutrements of the stable. There are hackers, evil government agents, gunplay, urban sprawl, dim lighting and a healthy dose of virtual reality. In short; everything a growing boy or girl needs for a satisfying night's entertainment - in theory. It also boasts a more than healthy dose of eye wear, and Mr Diablo will attempt to refrain from obsessing about it in the course of this review; an attempt that is probably doomed to failure.
Mr Diablo will attempt to outline as much of the plot as possible without revealing details which will blunt the film's appeal. It concerns a young man (the irritatingly wooden Keanu Reeves, replete with pudding-bowl haircut and Eastwood-esque squint) who works for a large software company by day and operates as a hacker with the prophetic nom de plume Neo in his spare time. It seems that Neo has been a less than well-behaved cyber-citizen as the merciless hounds of the law have taken a particular interest in him. Fortunately, an unknown organisation has taken an interest in Neo's welfare and, while these unknown people seem to be able to bend reality in uncomfortable ways, the alternatives to throwing his lot in with them seem rather dire. They are fighting a construction called The Matrix which seems to be somehow woven in with reality in some kind of sinister fashion. When the nature of The Matrix is revealed, all hell breaks loose as Neo and his new-found companions battle the evil forces which have set it in place.
The last part of the plot synopsis is, as far as Mr Diablo can make out, the chief flaw in the film. Director/writers Larry and Andy Wachowski (whose previous film, BOUND, escaped Mr Diablo's notice) have penned a script whose exposition is absolutely enthralling but the lack of any real plot means that the film begins broadcasting its structural defects as soon as the protagonists' circumstances have been explained. This left Mr Diablo with action and computer generated effects in abundance which appeared to be imposed upon the films central ideas rather then to grow out of them. As a result, he was left feeling a little ambivalent about the action set pieces which populated the last forty minutes of the outing. He was also left wondering why anyone would squint as constantly as Mr Reeves in such dimly lit locations, let alone why so many people were insistent upon wearing sunglasses indoors in semi-darkness. He assumes that sporting sunglasses in tenebrous locales represents some kind of cyber-chic that has heretofore eluded him. Perhaps someone had been listening to too much 80s music when the costume design was being finalised.
Characterisations are somewhat less complete than one would hope for in a cyberpunk outing, with most characters trying desperately to expand from one to two dimensions. Mr Diablo regards this as something of a pity, as cyberpunk in written form has tended to produce extremely complex characters and interpersonal interactions. The good guys are essentially the stereotypes presented to us in the STAR WARS trilogy. We have Luke (Reeves), Leia (the rather visually appealing Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity), a Han Solo and an Obi-Wan (Morpheus, guru-ed in fine style by Laurence Fishburne). The remaining good guys are, of course, cannon-fodder apart from the addition of a traitor, whose demise occurs altogether too early for Mr Diablo's taste, despite an irritating performance straight out of the worst of the crop of action films that arose, unbidden, throughout the 80s. His scenery munching and eye-rolling seems so much out of place that he broadcasts himself as the rat almost as soon as he is introduced.
The action sequences are well-realised and exciting. Mr Diablo has read some reviews which have referenced Hong Kong action cinema as a jumping-off point (so to speak) and he was pleased to observe a large amount of Wing Chun Kung Fu amongst the variegated bare-hands fighting styles on display. Action sequences, therefore, tend towards the choreographed which adds to the style-over-content feel that seems to dominate the film. Special effects are variable with computer generated imagery veering between the well-integrated and the cheesily tacked-on. Some of the make-up effects have a high ick-factor and the various mechanical contrivances seem to have been designed solely to take advantage of our aversion to all things arachnid, insectiod and cephalopod. The soundtrack is often delightful, featuring very contemporary electronic music that undercuts the action very effectively indeed. Readers should think Propellerheads (whose "Bang On" is used in one of the better action sequences) and they've got the, erm, picture.
As concerns the borrowing of ideas that has been referred to, Mr Diablo observed pieces of THE TERMINATOR, GHOST IN THE SHELL, HACKERS and the awful THE LAWNMOWER MAN, grated and melted together to produce a fondue-ish plot and themes. Throw in the STAR WARS trilogy for characterisation and mythic feel and add, when the mixture begins to bubble, a dash of Terry Gilliam's wonderful TWELVE MONKEYS for that little bit of post-apocalyptic flavour. Other borrowings are present but Mr Diablo would prefer not to try to remember all of them, both for the sake of space (brevity not being his best attribute, in any case) and because the hour grows late as he types this magnum opus. In any case, there are enough of them to keep train-spotting viewers entertained almost as much as the film itself.
The basic premise of the film is almost reasonable but some considerable suspension of disbelief is required to let the many inconsistencies in plot devices go unheeded. The very nature of The Matrix is such that Mr Diablo fails to understand how the good guys cannot immediately be wiped out at the whim of the evil forces at work. He can't explain this in any detail without revealing too much about the film's resolution but he hopes that even the dimmest in the audience worked it out after the first forty five minutes. The only thing that Mr Diablo couldn't work out was why the hell Mr Reeves didn't don a pair of sunglasses substantially earlier to ameliorate his need to squint. There was a strong feeling that he'd blend in better with the rest of the cast as well as avoiding strain on his vestigial acting muscles induced by attempting to express emotions by adopting various facial casts.
Readers of this review should not labour under the misapprehension that Mr Diablo thought that THE MATRIX was a bad film. Far from it; despite the unabashed borrowing of other films and styles, THE MATRIX has an awful lot going for it. The camera work consists of that mix of the static and the mobile that Mr Diablo finds appealing He regards any film that gives him unpleasant flashbacks to INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE as overdone in this department and was pleased that no such unpleasant, dizzy, pop-music-video sensation was engendered during THE MATRIX. The vilification of a certain software giant (intentional or otherwise - Mr Diablo hopes that the former is true as this would add a certain mordant symbolism to the goings-on) is welcome, as is the epic father-figure theme that underpins the sometimes empty action.
Mr Diablo enjoyed himself almost thoroughly for a couple of hours and this is all that can really be asked, even though there was the constant nagging question of WHY DOESN'T MR REEVES PUT ON SOME #$%&ING SUNGLASSES. He will refrain from awarding marks out of ten, a letter grade or an arbitrary number of stars in deference to The Phantom, whose work inspired him to pen this prose. THE MATRIX is far from flawless but will serve as a stop-gap until THE CUBE or a piece of respectable horror cinema comes to town, whichever occurs first.

or
two-channel array of size 1xNx2 or Nx1x2.[[x;y;z;w], ...]
The function reconstructs 3-dimensional points (in homogeneous coordinates) by using their observations with a stereo camera. Projections matrices can be obtained from cv.stereoRectify.
Keep in mind that all input data should be of float type in order for
this function to work (single
or double
).

Create screenshots that update themselves automatically in seconds. Read how it works for more information.
Output:
Did you ever have to write the documentation for an application you’ve made?
Naturally you’ll tend to not include explanatory screenshots of that application because that means, every time
you make a UI change, you’ll have to update all your screenshots which is tedious work.
Well that is exactly why I’ve build Live Screenshots. You’ll never have to update your screenshots ever again
manually. It’s setup in literally seconds and requires not effort. Not even programming knowledge.
Every time the image is requested (for example when a user loads your website), we’ll automatically launch a
webbrowser, navigate to the URL, take a screenshot and send that screenshot back to your request.
This way, you’ll always get an up to date image.
For the nerds out there: the app is written in nodejs+express and uses puppeteer (+chromium) to create the screenshots. No rocket science, just computer science :)
If you find this useful, consider supporting the project on Github. Give it a like, tell all your friends, contribute or donate 1$ (or any amount) to cover server costs and keep it running.

| 4.2 Quick-Transfer Procedure
In order for an application to support the quick-transfer mechanism, it must be able to handle several situations. The list below enumerates all the tasks the application must be ready to perform:
-
Recognize initiation of a move/copy operation
When the user initiates a quick-transfer, the object under the mouse pointer will be notified the operation has begun.
-
Provide feedback
Once a quick-transfer is initiated, every object on the screen becomes a potential destination for the transfer. When the mouse pointer moves over an object, that object must indicate what type of operation can be supported, if any.
-
Receive the transfer item
If the move/copy operation is completed by the user when the mouse pointer is over an object, that object must be able to receive the item and provide feedback to the UI about the status of the quick-transfer.
-
Recognize completion of the operation
When a quick-transfer is completed, the source object is notified and informed what type of operation took place.
-
Shut off quick-transfer feedback on shutdown
When an object that can handle quick-transfers is shut down or destroyed, it must remove itself from the quick-transfer notification list. This takes care of any potential synchronization problems between object shutdown and the quick-transfer mechanism.
Applications should also understand the three rules that govern the behavior of a quick-transfer:
-
Transfers within a single document default to move operations.
-
Transfers across documents default to copy operations.
-
Transfers in a format not supported by the destination are "no operation" transfers.
