public class OtpNode extends OtpLocalNode
Represents a local OTP node. This class is used when you do not wish to manage connections yourself - outgoing connections are established as needed, and incoming connections accepted automatically. This class supports the use of a mailbox API for communication, while management of the underlying communication mechanism is automatic and hidden from the application programmer.
Once an instance of this class has been created, obtain one or more mailboxes in order to send or receive messages. The first message sent to a given node will cause a connection to be set up to that node. Any messages received will be delivered to the appropriate mailboxes.
To shut down the node, call close()
. This will prevent the
node from accepting additional connections and it will cause all existing
connections to be closed. Any unread messages in existing mailboxes can still
be read, however no new messages will be delivered to the mailboxes.
Note that the use of this class requires that Epmd (Erlang Port Mapper Daemon) is running on each cooperating host. This class does not start Epmd automatically as Erlang does, you must start it manually or through some other means. See the Erlang documentation for more information about this.

public boolean ping(java.lang.String anode, long timeout)
Determine if another node is alive. This method has the side effect of setting up a connection to the remote node (if possible). Only a single outgoing message is sent; the timeout is how long to wait for a response.
Only a single attempt is made to connect to the remote node, so for example it is not possible to specify an extremely long timeout and expect to be notified when the node eventually comes up. If you wish to wait for a remote node to be started, the following construction may be useful:
// ping every 2 seconds until positive response while (!me.ping(him, 2000)) ;
anode
- the name of the node to ping.timeout
- the time, in milliseconds, to wait for response before
returning false.public boolean registerName(java.lang.String name, OtpMbox mbox)
Register or remove a name for the given mailbox. Registering a name for a
mailbox enables others to send messages without knowing the
pid
of the mailbox. A mailbox can have at most one
name; if the mailbox already had a name, calling this method will
supercede that name.

A revolute joint constrains to bodies to share a common point while they are free to rotate about the point. The relative rotation about the shared point is the joint angle. You can limit the relative rotation with a joint limit that specifies a lower and upper angle. You can use a motor to drive the relative rotation about the shared point. A maximum motor torque is provided so that infinite forces are not generated.

We'll have to process our data to get the principle component unit vector that explains the most variance, then find the highest- and lowest-absolute-weighing assets as the pair, since the lowest one's variance is mostly explained by the highest.
unstack
method.close_price = history['close'].unstack(level=0)
pct_change
to compute the daily return.returns = close_price.pct_change().iloc[1:]
PCA
model, then get the principle components by the maximum likelihood.pca = PCA() pca.fit(returns)
components = [str(x + 1) for x in range(pca.n_components_)] explained_variance_pct = pca.explained_variance_ratio_ * 100
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10)) plt.bar(components, explained_variance_pct) plt.title("Ratio of Explained Variance") plt.xlabel("Principle Component #") plt.ylabel("%") plt.show()
We can see over 95% of the variance is explained by the first principle. We could conclude that collinearity exists and most assets' return are correlated. Now, we can extract the 2 most correlated pairs.
first_component = pca.components_[0, :]
highest = assets[abs(first_component).argmax()] lowest = assets[abs(first_component).argmin()] print(f'The highest-absolute-weighing asset: {highest}\nThe lowest-absolute-weighing asset: {lowest}')
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10)) plt.bar(assets, first_component) plt.title("Weightings of each asset in the first component") plt.xlabel("Assets") plt.ylabel("Weighting") plt.xticks(rotation=30) plt.show()

About Me
Hi, I'm Matt! I'm a web developer based in New York City with experience in Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and React.js.
My favorite types of projects are those that allow my to combine my creativity with my technical abilities to build beautiful complex applications.
When I'm not coding, I love exploring the city by foot or by bike and searching for the best Mexican food the boroughs have to offer.
I'm currently seeking a full-time position, so drop me a line if you think I could be a good fit for an opportunity or you just want to chat about a cool project or idea.

With today's announcement about Visual Studio Dev Essentials I asked, what can you run for $25 in Azure? Here's my list:
| Service | Region | Type | Cluster | Tier | Instance Size | Instance Count | Hours | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| App Service | East US | Free | F1 | 10 | 744 | Free | ||

Here are a couple of the highlights from this list...
- I was surprised by the free tier for Azure ML. It looks like you can build, train, and test pretty complex algorithms without a credit card.
- You can run a pretty beefy HDInsight cluster for near a week!
- While not "really" listed here, you can run a Basic Azure SQL database for 5 bucks... it's only 2GB, still not bad.
- You can run a D2 Windows box for more than two weeks.
- Five Linux D11 boxes for a full day.
Hopefully this paints a pretty clear picture, that $25 dollars a month can go a long way.

What Do We Do? |
||
At WiCS, we aim to strengthen and enrich our community in both the practical and the social aspects of tech. |
||
WorkshopsOur events involve workshops built towards improving technical skills, as well as opportunities to educate our members on the obstacles that face womxn today. |
Tech ConferencesRecurring events we organize include trips to tech conferences for our students, including the Grace Hopper Celebration and the WeCode tech conferences. |
WiCS Alumni Speaker SeriesAnd, most notably, we have our annual WiCS Alumni Speaker Series, where we feature Amherst alumni to discuss their experiences as womxn in tech post-graduation. |
Why Do We Do It? |
Womxn vs Women |
|---|---|
There is a severe lack of womxn’s representation in STEM fields, especially in tech. In the US, womxn only comprise 18% of the degrees earned in computer science; men comprise the remaining 82%. By missing one-half of the population, companies lose the potential for groundbreaking, out-of-the-box innovations. Moreover, certain issues are not seen, let alone solved. (For example, Apple’s Health app didn’t have the ability to track menstruation for an entire year!)

End of 1A Reflections
I know I’ve said this a million times already, but time flies in university. I remember after the second week of school, I was calculating what 2 divided by 13 was in my head. The answer? 15% of the way through 1A. I still find it hard to believe how that was three whole months ago.
I’ve had a fair share of good and bad experiences throughout the term (mostly positive ones, but humans tend to focus on the negative events more). Let’s take a stroll down memory lane…
First two months at Waterloo
Moving into residence and orientation week were amazing life experiences. It’s hard to describe the feeling in words, so you’ll have to trust me on this one. I highly recommend you to participate in these activities! The first month of Waterloo Engineering was an incredible experience as well. You can also read about my midway post.
Engineering Ambassador and outreach events
November was a great month, beginning with the Waterloo Fall Open House. I enjoyed talking with prospective students and answering their questions. The most common question was “What’s the difference between Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Computer Engineering?” I’ll probably write a post about this in the future when I gain more experiences. For the meanwhile, check out Patrick Lam’s well written responses comparing the three programs. Comparing SE vs. CS and Comparing SE vs. CE
I also took on other initiatives as an Engineering Ambassador. I gave out three shadow days, where prospective students shadowed me for the entire day. The three students not only learned more about Waterloo, but also had lots of fun! I would highly recommend the Waterloo Engineering Shadow Program to any prospective Engineering student. In addition, I volunteered at a Waterloo Alumni event at the Oakville Conference Centre. Three other related achievements I was proud of were:
- My ‘Waterloo Engineering Admissions’ thread on the StudentAwards forum became the most viewed post on the STEM sub-forum, receiving over 300 responses and 75,000 views.
- Professor Bill Anderson gave my blog a shout out. This was an incredible feeling because I followed his blog throughout high school. It definitely helped me out with the admissions process.
- I’m now featured on Waterloo’s first-year blogger website. Initially, my name was spelled as ‘Po Beng’ which was surprisingly amusing. :)
I’m quite satisfied with what I’ve accomplished as an Engineering Ambassador over the past term, but I know there is always room to improve. One project I would like to take on next term is to organize school field trips to the University of Waterloo.
Extracurriculars: Enactus & Engineering Society
Our executive team planned a successful kick-off meeting on November 11th. Check out the photos on Flickr! We invited our Faculty Advisor, David, our Enactus Canada manager, Julie, Enactus Laurier President, Thomas, and AISEC Waterloo President, Nima to speak. The atmosphere in the room was great and you could instantly tell that the 50+ people who attended were excited! We planned two more meetings after that and have an official team size of 50 members. We’ll be kicking off 2015 with our innovative social projects! We’re looking forward to the National Competition in May.
I was one of the two EngSoc representatives for my class and had a great time throughout the term. I attended 6 meetings, and many more EngSoc events. It’s absolutely amazing to see how much passion the executives and the other class reps have for the love of Engineering at Waterloo. From charity pancakes to volunteering at the Museum to the semi-formal, there are always fun events planned. Did I mention that there was free food at every single meeting? Another event I particularly enjoyed was the Career Fair that the VP of Education, Josh, organized.
SE Hack Day and Nspire Start-Up Competition
SE Hack day is an event held every term, where students work on a project for 6-8 hours. My friends and I created a Waterloo Food Menu app, which displays the restaurant locations and times, weekly menus, and even allows you to check your remaining meal plan balance. We didn’t quite finish it; however, it was a really chill night filled with learning and fun.
I also participated in a 24 Hour Start-Up competition which actually spanned the entire weekend, from Friday night to Sunday. My team created an app called “CityKit”. Through the CityKit application, users are connected with relevant events based on their location and time, effortlessly while on-the-go. Our service also empowers economic development within cities all around the world. It provides businesses and entrepreneurs with a simple yet effective platform that showcases their events and products.
We thought of this idea after being unaware of a Santa Claus parade occurring in the city. Ultimately, this led in the King Street being blocked out and causing major inconveniences to the traffic. If we had the CityKit app, we would have known about this parade and either arranged alternate travel plans or maybe even attend this festive event. We find that people are often too disconnected with what is occurring in the city, and more focused on what is going on in only their lives. We want people to become urban adventurers and integrate the city into their lives. Admittedly, it’s an ambitious goal, but we’ll see how this goes.
Academics and Final Exams
1A was quite an interesting experience in terms of academics. I think I performed at a decent level for the term. I will find out my marks on December 22nd; however, I already know that I was not satisfied with my performance this term. With hindsight, there are so many things that I can improve on. These include:
- Starting assignments the day they’re assigned rather than the day they’re due.
- Don’t skip lectures and don’t fall behind.
- Prepare for midterms and finals in advance, instead of the night before.
I have to admit that I was quite distracted this term and didn’t put in much effort. Next term, I promise I will change my habits and work hard. I know I have what it takes to become an excellent student. I must add that there are many resources for achieving student success such as your Professor’s office hours, practice exams, hardworking classmates, and much more.

The list goes on and on… To say that I’m having a great time at Waterloo would be an understatement.   I’m looking forward to spending a nice Winter Break with friends and family. To my classmates and all the friends I’ve made this term, thank you for making my first term such a wonderful experience. To all the professors and TA’s, thank you. To the Software 2018’s, I’m really going to miss you guys. To MC2066 (an extremely hot and uncomfortable lecture room), I cannot say the same.
I’ll end this post with a beautiful picture of the glorious Math and Computing building.

Child, man shot in Shreveport
by KNOESHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) — A toddler is fighting for her life after being shot in the back of her head, authorities say.
The 1- to 2-year-old child and her father were wounded in the shooting Friday evening in Shreveport’s College Heights neighborhood.
It happened at 5:31 p.m. Friday at Linwwod Homes, an apartment complex in the 7200 block of Bernstein Avenue, Caddo 911 dispatch records show.
That’s where police found a vehicle that had been shot multiple times, Police Chief Ben Raymond said.
The toddler, her father and another male were in the vehicle.
The girl’s father, who was driving the vehicle, was shot in his lower left leg.
Police have 10 units on the scene between West 70th Street and West 74th Street.
Firefighters have six units responding to a medical emergency at the same location.
Authorities urge anyone with any information about the shooting to contact Shreveport-Caddo Crime Stoppers by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>, visiting the organization’s website, lockemup.org, or using the P3 Tips app.
The nonprofit pays cash rewards for information that leads to the arrest of the individual or individuals responsible for crimes.

LDBS is a disk image format originally designed for internal use in LibDsk, with the intended use case being for archiving FM / MFM floppy disks. This specification is provided for comment and suggestions, in case the format proves useful in other situations.
The suggested file extension is .ldbs.
The reference implementation for this version of LDBS is ldbs.c / ldbs.h, supplied with LibDsk v1.5.4.
The file structure is defined at two levels: a generic block store, and the specific block types used to specify a disk image.
Rationale: Why a new disk image format? As mentioned above, it was designed for use as an intermediate format in LibDsk. The aim is to have feature parity with CPCEMU extended .DSK, but in a more extensible format with greater support for in-place rewrites. It is not, for example, possible to reformat a track from 8 to 9 512-byte sectors in an EDSK file, without rewriting all subsequent tracks.
All 16-bit and 32-bit values are stored in Intel format (low byte first).
File offsets and block lengths are 32 bit little-endian doublewords. To avoid signed / unsigned issues, they should not exceed 2^31.
All LDBS files begin with a 20-byte header:
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | LDBS magic number: 0x4C 0x42 0x53 0x01 ('LBS\01') |
| 0x0004 | 4 bytes | File type. For a disk image this is 0x44 0x53 0x4B 0x02 ('DSK\02'). If it is 0x44 0x53 0x4B 0x01 ('DSK\01') then it is in LDBS 0.2 or earlier format. Such disc images are not likely to be in wide circulation and I don't think you need to bother implementing support for them. The supplied ldbs_v2 utility can convert disc images in the earlier format to the current version. |
| 0x0008 | offset | Offset of first block in 'used' linked list. Zero means there are no used data blocks. |
| 0x000C | offset | Offset of first block in 'free' linked list. Zero means there are no free data blocks. |
| 0x0010 | offset | Offset of track directory. Zero means there is no track directory. |
If the offsets at 0x0008 / 0x000C / 0x0010 are non-zero, they must be file offsets of valid data blocks. It is an error for them to point to any other location in the file.
Within the block store layer the track directory is optional, but a valid LDBS disk image must have a track directory.
Although the block store layer is currently only defined as containing a disk image, it would be usable as a container for other file formats; this would be indicated by a different value at offset 0x0004. The use of the block store for other file formats is not covered further by this document.
The header is followed by one or more data blocks (a file with no data blocks is structurally valid, but would not contain a track directory). There is no constraint on the order of blocks in a file; a track header does not have to be stored together with its associated sectors, for example.
For an LDBS disc image, is recommended that a given data block should not exceed 64k in size.
There are no alignment requirements; blocks can begin at any file offset.
Each data block has its own 20-byte header:
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | Block signature: 0x4C 0x44 0x42 0x01 ('LDB\01') |
| 0x0004 | 4 bytes | Block type. 4-byte value as defined below. 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 indicates a free block, other values indicate a used block. |
| 0x0008 | length | Length of block on disk (not including this 20-byte header) |
| 0x000C | length | Length of block contents, less than or equal to length of block on disk. Should be set to zero for a free block. |
| 0x0010 | offset | Offset of next block in used / free linked list. Zero if this is the last block in the list. |
The header is followed immediately by the block data.
If a block is recorded in the track directory (see below) its block type is used to identify it, and so must be unique within the file. The block type is not required to be unique for blocks not recorded in the directory.
If the offset at 0x0010 is non-zero, it must point to another valid data block.
If the length of the block on disk is greater than the length of the block contents, an implementation is encouraged to fill the remainder with zero bytes, but is not obliged to. Similarly a free block should be filled with zeroes, but is not required to be.
Data blocks can be enumerated either by stepping through the file in linear order, or by following the used / free linked lists.
It is an error for there to be a 'free' block on the 'used' linked list, or a 'used' block on the 'free' linked list.
Typical operations performed at block level are:
Note that there is no requirement to coalesce adjacent free blocks, or to split a block if the size requested is less than its current size on disk.
A disk image must contain a track directory block. The intention is that an implementation will use the track directory to locate data rather than performing linear searches of the file or walking its linked lists.
The format of the track directory is:
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x44 0x49 0x52 0x01 ('DIR\01') |
| 0x0014 | 16-bit word | Number of directory entries |
| 0x0016 | 8 bytes per entry | Directory entries |
The format of a directory entry is one of Txxx, INFO, CREA, DPB or GEOM, or a custom block type (beginning with a lowercase 'a'-'z'). In each case, this is the block type of the corresponding block in the store.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 1 byte | 0x54 ('T') |
| 0x0001 | 2 bytes | Cylinder number |
| 0x0003 | 1 byte | Head number |
| 0x0004 | offset | Offset of track header block |
Reference to a track header. There is one of these for each track in the disk image.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | 'INFO' |
| 0x0004 | offset | Offset of comment block |
Reference to a comment block. There is at most one of these in the disk image file.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | 'CREA' |
| 0x0004 | offset | Offset of creator block |
Reference to a creator block. There is at most one of these in the disk image file.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | 'GEOM' |
| 0x0004 | offset | Offset of geometry block |
Reference to a geometry block. There is at most one of these in the disk image file.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 4 bytes | 'DPB ' |
| 0x0004 | offset | Offset of DPB block |
Reference to a CP/M Disk Parameter Block block. There is at most one of these in the disk image file. It will only be present on disks containing a CP/M filesystem.
Other block types than the ones listed here may be defined in later versions of this spec; implementations should ignore unknown block types. It may, for example, be useful at some point to create a 'BOOT' block type containing the keystrokes necessary to boot a disk, or a 'PICT' block containing a picture of the disk.
All future block types defined by this spec will start with a capital letter, 'A'-'Z'. Block types beginning with a lowercase letter 'a'-'z' can be used for private purposes — there is, of course, no guarantee that someone else won't pick the same block type for their own use.
You should avoid storing file offsets in your custom blocks. There is nothing stopping an LDBS implementation from rearranging blocks in a file so they end up at different offsets (for example, to remove unused space). However, such an implementation won't be aware of offsets held in custom blocks, and so won't update them. This isn't just a theoretical danger: ldbs_clone() reverses the order of blocks when duplicating an LDBS file.
The LibDsk TeleDisk, CopyQM and QRST drivers use custom blocks to hold details from the original file headers which aren't used by other disk image formats. These are, respectively, 'utd0', 'ucqm', and 'uqrs'.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x54 cyl cyl head , corresponding to directory entry. |
| 0x0014 | 2 bytes | [LDBS 0.3] Length of fixed track header in bytes (= offset of first sector header less 0x0014). Currently 0x000C, but you should not rely on this; future extensions may require extra bytes to be added to the track header. |
| 0x0016 | 2 bytes | [LDBS 0.3] Length of each sector entry in bytes. Currently 0x0010, but you should not rely on this; future extensions may require extra bytes to be added to the sector header. |
| 0x0018 | 2 bytes | Number of sector entries in the track header. |
| 0x001A | 1 byte | Data rate when track was
recorded:
0 => unknown 1 => Single density (125 kbit/s or 150 kbit/s FM) or double density (250 kbit/s or 300 kbit/s MFM) 2 => High density (500 kbit/s MFM, or [unlikely] 250 kbit/s FM) 3 => Extended density (1000 kbit/s MFM, or [unlikely] 500 kbit/s FM) Note: The 250 kbit/s and 300 kbit/s rates (and their FM equivalents) are combined because the same disc may appear to use either rate, depending whether it is read in a 360k drive or a 1.2Mb drive. |
| 0x001B | 1 byte | Recording mode used for the
track:
0 => unknown 1 => FM 2 => MFM |
| 0x001C | 1 byte | Format gap length |
| 0x001D | 1 byte | Default filler byte |
| 0x001E | 2 bytes | [LDBS 0.3] Approximate length of track (including address marks and gaps) in bytes. For some timing-based copy protection schemes. Zero if this value was not captured when the disc was imaged. |
| 0x0020 | [LDBS 0.3] Future versions may add extra bytes here. See offset 0x0014 | |
| See offset 0x0014 | See offset 0x0016 | [LDBS 0.3] Sector headers |
Each sector descriptor is formed:
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 1 byte | Sector ID: Cylinder |
| 0x0001 | 1 byte | Sector ID: Head |
| 0x0002 | 1 byte | Sector ID: Sector |
| 0x0003 | 1 byte | Sector ID: Size (0 => 128, 1 => 256, 2 => 512 ... 7 => 8192) |
| 0x0004 | 1 byte | 8272 status 1. The following
bits may be set if the archiver encountered errors
reading this sector:
Bit 7: End of cylinder Bit 5: Data error in ID or data field Bit 2: No data Bit 0: Missing address mark in ID or data field |
| 0x0005 | 1 byte | 8272 status 2. The following
bits may be set if the archiver encountered errors
reading this sector, or if the sector has a
deleted data control mark:
Bit 6: Control mark (sector marked as deleted data) Bit 5: Data error in data field Bit 0: Missing address mark in data field |
| 0x0006 | 1 byte | Number of copies held. Some copy-protection systems use a 'weak' sector which returns different values each time it is read. This is simulated by holding multiple copies of the sector, and returning a random one each time it is read. If this is zero, the sector is treated as blank (ie, entirely filled with the byte at 0x0007). |
| 0x0007 | 1 byte | Filler byte if sector is blank |
| 0x0008 | offset | Offset of sector data block for this sector. If number of copies is zero, this must be zero too. |
| 0x000C | 2 bytes | Number of trailing bytes. If nonzero, then the specified number of CRC and gap bytes follow each copy of the sector itself. |
| 0x000E | 2 bytes | Approximate offset of sector within track. This is used for some timing-based copy protection schemes. If this value was not captured it will be zero for all sectors on the track. |
| 0x0010 | [LDBS 0.3] Future versions may add extra bytes here. See offset 0x0016 of track header. |
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x53 cylinder head sector. Note that cylinder and head are the sector's actual physical location on the disk, which may not be the same as the values in its ID header. |
| 0x0014 | As specified in descriptor | The sector data. In normal circumstances the length should match the descriptor in the track header: ((128 << id_psh) + trailing bytes) * number of copies. However implementations should be prepared to handle the data being either shorter or longer than the expected size; this may arise if the LDBS file was converted from a disc image file with the same anomaly. |
Since the track directory does not record the locations of individual sectors, the block type field is not required to be unique. If an LDBS file contained more than 256 cylinders, for example, sectors on cylinder 256 would have the same block type as those on cylinder 0. Similarly if a track contained several copies of the same sector, all these copies would have the same block type.
The comment block is optional, and contains a human-readable comment describing the disk image.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x49 0x4E 0x46 0x4F ('INFO') |
| 0x0014 | As specified in header | Disk comment. Lines should be separated with DOS-style newlines ('\r\n'). |
On character sets: If possible, stick to ASCII. Failing that, UTF-8.
The creator block is optional, and contains human-readable text naming the utility that created the disk image.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x43 0x52 0x45 0x41 ('CREA') |
| 0x0014 | As specified in header | Creator, ASCII, no newlines. |
The DPB block is optional, and contains a CP/M Plus Disk Parameter Block describing the filesystem.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x44 0x50 0x42 0x20 ('DPB ') |
| 0x0014 | 17 bytes | CP/M DPB |
Rationale: CP/M filesystems are not self-describing. If the disk image was generated by an emulator or utility that is aware of the CP/M filesystem, it may be helpful to record the filesystem parameters used. This is also necessary for round-trip compatibility with the YAZE YDSK format.
The geometry block is optional. It contains the drive geometry used by LibDsk when it last formatted a track in the disk image. On a 'straightforward' disk image where all tracks have the same format, this will give the geometry of the entire file.
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | 20 bytes | LDBS block header. Type field contains 0x47 0x45 0x4F 0x4D ('GEOM') |
| 0x0014 | Byte | Sidedness: the order in which to process tracks.
0 => Single sided, or alternating sides. Track n is cylinder (n / heads) head (n % heads). 1 => Out and back. Tracks go (head 0) 0,1,2,3,...,37,38,39 then (head 1) 39,38,37,...2,1,0 2 => Out and out. Tracks go (head 0) 0,1,2,3,...,37,38,39 then (head 1) 0,1,2,3,...,37,38,39 3 => Extended surface. As SIDES_ALT, but sectors on head 1 identify as head 0, with numbers in sequence eg: Head 0 has sectors 1-9, head 1 has 10-18 |
| 0x0015 | Word | Number of cylinders |
| 0x0017 | Byte | Number of heads |
| 0x0018 | Byte | Number of sectors per track |
| 0x0019 | Byte | First physical sector number |
| 0x001A | Word | Bytes per sector |
| 0x001C | Byte | Data rate: 0 => 500 kbit/s, 1 => 300 kbit/s, 2 => 250 kbit/s, 3 => 1 mbit/s |
| 0x001D | Byte | Read/write gap |
| 0x001E | Byte | Format gap |
| 0x001F | Byte | Recording mode: 0 => MFM, 1=> FM |
| 0x0020 | Byte | Complement flag, 1 if bytes are stored complemented |
| 0x0021 | Byte | Disable multitrack read/writes |
| 0x0022 | Byte | Do not skip deleted data |
Note that the representation of the data rate and recording mode isn't the same as in a track header.
Rationale: If the imaged disk contains no superblock or other means to specify its own format, this can be used to suggest a geometry for accessing it.
The only form of compression is omitting sectors that are blank or unreadable (by setting the 'copies' field in the sector header to 0). Should it prove necessary to compress LDBS disk images further, this should be done using an external utility such as gzip (LibDsk can transparently decompress gzipped disk images).
ldbs.h / ldbs.c in LibDsk 1.5.4 contain an X11-licensed reference implementation of LDBS. A few sample utilities are also supplied:

Since many uses of programming involve making multiple elements with similar properties, it helps to use Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
As it's name suggests, OOP makes use of objects, which are elements which have both state (variables of data which apply to it) and behavior (functions/methods which can be called upon and applied to it). The simplest and most common way to create them is with classes, which directly describe the state and behavior of objects which apply to it. They use instance variables to describe the state and instance methods to describe the behavior. Objects created from a class are referred to as individual instances of that class.
Not every class uses both instance variables and instance methods, but every one uses the self variable and the "_init_" method. When initially created, the _init_ method partitions necessary memory in the computer. The self variable is how the instance refers to itself. This becomes especially useful for larger prjects where multiple of the same type of object are required, because variable names can be assigned to the different instances, which will then be applied to the instance itself via the self variable.
This is all done very similarly to how CSS function...they even use the same name; classes. In CSS, a class is written to describe how certain elements should look, then elements which are designated as being part of that class take on those characteristics. In OOP, a class is written which describes what its instances are and how they function. In both cases, the casses help to define the elements. The main difference between them, however, is that OOP instances must belong to exactly one class to make any kind of sense, whereas a normal element doesn't necessarily need to belong to any CSS class and can, in fact, belong to several.
When using OOP, the class is generally written either at the beginning of the code or, more commonly, on a separate piece of code that's saved within the same folder. In the case of the latter, you have to import the class into your code in the same way you would things from the Python Standard Library (PSL); like twilio or webbrowser. A library is essentially a list of available pre-written classes for you to use. PSL comes pre-loaded with most Python software, can be readily accessed. Other classes however, like twilio or fresh tomatoes, must be sepearately downloaded onto your computer before using.

Technical Blog
Unit 1 Week 1: Git Bloggin'
08FEB15
These blogs will definitely be getting longer as more advanced topics come around. Right now, this is just a simple overview of a few tools we will be using throughout our course.
I will try to go in order here. Basic command line commands is where it all started. Simple navigation, creating/removing, copying/moving various items (direcotries and files). The commands are pretty straight forward. All it takes is using them over and over to really get everything down and memorized. The only issue I have had is when moving/copying I sometimes cant find my file in the designated directory but when I go to delete the directory it says that it is not empty (though it appears empty). I somehow make random Ghost Files that I can't see, but appear to exist when trying to rmdir (remove directory).
Next up, version control Git. Version control is a wonderful idea. It is probably the most important tool that we, as aspiring developers, have on our computers. Version control allows all of our changes to be tracked and logged for reference. As someone who likes to try out many approaches/solutions, this will make finding the best/most efficient one so much easier. I can compare my 'old' code directly with changes I wish to implement and see if it is worth keeping. Git logs all changes (that are added) so looking at previous/new code is super convinient.
Now in order to make everything accessible remotely or to anyone else, it is all pushed to GitHub. GitHub is basically the cloud for all code (and other files) we will be working on. Loading everything to GitHub gives someone else access to my code and changes, and allows me to access my code from a different computer if needed and 'sync' it all together. I am completely new to GitHub (well everything so far, really) so I still am getting used to the layout and navigation. As far as I can tell, I have not had much trouble with using GitHub. Pretty much push/pull to and from GitHub and everything should be up to date on both ends.


PUBG Red Zone is a web application created by IBM developer advocates. It features an always-exciting video stream of the extremely popular computer game Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. PUBG Red Zone(PRZ) is written in Node.js. The current state of the application is limited to Twitch live streams. It gets a list of live streams from Twitch then uses computer vision to determine the number of people alive. This page will show you the stream that has the least number of players alive in their match. The application will watch streams in the background and determine which has the least number of players alive. This webpage will check periodically if it matches the best stream determined by the application and will seamlessly switch to that.

Tait’s Simple Markdown Tool
Info
- You can use
$...$
for inline math. - You can use
$$...$$
for “display mode” math. - Display mode will make the equation take up an entire line for itself, and it will display larger and more “formally”. It also allows you to have newlines without breaking up the expression, and/or the use of
\newline
to have a multi-line formula. - You can save the HTML or markdown for future use.
- You can download the HTML or markdown for sharing with others.
- Saving will save it to your browser’s local storage so when you load the page again–even after a reboot–it will be pre-populated with what you saved last.
- Converting to HTML automatically saves both the markdown and the HTML.
- This page is fully functional without an internet connection. Ctrl+s to save the page with its CSS and Javascript and you can use this tool offline.

Hello Everyone,
In this post, I would like to discuss on how I successfully built (xyzcoder.github.io) my blog at free of cost and maintenance.
Technologies I am making use of for building and maintaining my blog (xyzcoder.github.io)
- Jekyll
- Github Pages
- Javascript
- HTML
- Ruby(But we don’t need any prior knowledge of it and it is not directly used by us)
What is Github Pages
GitHub Pages are public webpages hosted for free through GitHub. GitHub users can create and host both personal websites (one allowed per user) and websites related to specific GitHub projects. Pages lets you do the same things like GitHub, but if the repository is named a certain way and files inside it are HTML or Markdown, you can view the file like any other website. Pages also come with a powerful static site generator called Jekyll, which we’ll learn more about later on.
In other words, Gitpages allows you to create your blog( Static) by committing HTML or markdown files into your repository.
How to create Github Pages
Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub.
If the first part of the repository doesn’t exactly match your username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
Now commit index.html page into the GitHub repository and try to browse “username.github.io”. Now you should see the content of the HTML page.
So How does Static Site Generators come to our rescue
So in the above step, we saw how to host our HTML page in Github pages. If it is a simple application we can directly upload our HTML pages and maintain them. But what if I want to build a blog or static site with 100’s of pages. Is it as simple as the above approach? A big NO. And a few reasons are…
- If I want to add a new URL to my menu items and if it is a small application, I can go to each page and then modify my application to add that menu item’s url. But If my application has 100’s of pages then I cannot go to every page and modify them
- I want to have a theme for my blog with some static header and footer. As this is a static HTML page blog, I need to repeat the same code for the header and footer in all the pages. And It will be difficult to modify/add the content on every page.
- The same is the case with including javascript or CSS pages/links common to the entire application.
- Reusability– let’s say I have a small snippet of HTML code which needs to be included in all pages. For example, I need to include an HTML form on all pages. So even in this case, I need to duplicate all my code.
- No database. Unlike WordPress and other content management systems (CMS), Static site generators don’t have a database. All posts and pages are converted to static HTML before publication. This is great for loading speed because no database calls are made when a page is loaded.
What is Jekyll:
Jekyll is a parsing engine bundled as a ruby gem used to build static websites from dynamic components such as templates, partials, liquid code, markdown, etc. Jekyll is known as “a simple, blog-aware, static site generator”. Just like some NuGet(In .Net), Maven(in Java), NPM(In node.js, Javascript) Jekyll is a package developed in Ruby.
Why Jekyll:
So once I decided to go with Static web pages for my blog, I want to go with Jekyll because it is supported by Github pages and also a few advantages which I found
For every problem discussed in “So How does Static Site Generators come to our rescue” section can be handled easily with these static site generators like Jekyll.
- Ability to write content in markdown.
- It is not required to have a separate database and hence I can go with hosting providers like GithubPages, Firebase and few more
- I can run the software just in my machine for preview and I don’t need any internet.
- I can make use of text editor on my local machine for writing blog posts and publish the generated content to Github pages
- I can use various themes available in the market and modify them as per my requirement
- I can break down my code into templates and also I can have layouts that can be used in different pages conditionally.
Installing Jekyll:
For installing Jekyll, we need to have ruby installed on our machine.
Please go through the official URL for installation steps:
Installation Steps
Getting started with Jekyll
Once the installation is successful, we can start building our blog with minimal effort.
Steps for Getting Started:
- Navigate to the folder where you would like to create your website code
Jekyll new YOUR_REPO_NAME
- Once we use the above command it will create a gem file and few other files required to get started. GemFile is similar to Package.json in Node. It also installs required packages mentioned in the GemFile
- Now running
Jekyll build YOUR_REPO_NAME
. This will build the code and it will create a folder called _sites which has generated HTML code. - Finally, to run our blog on localhost, we need to execute the following command
jekyll serve -P 4200
- Here -P flag is used to specify the port number. Once the above command is issued, we can see the live server running on port 4200.
- Once we are ok with our file changes, we can commit our code to Github and after few minutes, you can browse
your_username.github.io
.
Now we can see our blog running successfully

Reduced Mass and Binary Star Systems - Part 3
Tying Up Loose Ends
Last week I derived two equations that describe the motion of a pair of orbiting bodies. The first equation gives the time rate of change of the angle \(\theta\).
\[\begin{equation} r^2 \dot{\theta} = C \end{equation}\]The second equation relates the radius of the orbit to the angle \(\theta\).
\[\begin{equation} r(\theta) = \frac{C^2}{GM \left [1 - ecos\theta \right ]} \end{equation}\]Recall that \(\vec{r} = \vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1\) where \(\vec{r}_2\) and \(\vec{r}_1\) are the positions of the two bodies and \(\theta\) is the angle measured from the x-axis in the xy plane (see Wolfram Mathworld for a diagram). When we did the calculation we defined two constants, e and C, without going into much detail about what they actually represent. Let’s take a closer look at them now.
Kepler’s Second Law
I am going to do things just a bit out of order; let’s analyze Kepler’s second law before the first law. We start off with the expression:
\[\begin{equation} C = r^2 \dot{\theta} \end{equation}\]Let’s expand the right hand side of the expression:
\[\begin{align} C &= r^2 \dot{\theta}\\[0.1cm] &= r (r \dot{\theta})\\[0.1cm] &= r v_\perp\\[0.1cm] &= \vec{r} \times \vec{v} \end{align}\]The variable C is simply the angular momentum of the system. Since there are no external forces or torques acting on the orbiting bodies, this quantity is conserved.
Let’s explore the properties of the area of the orbit. As one body moves around the other, we can imagine that the radius vector covers some area over some amount of time. A diagram of this is shown below (image courtesy of the University of Texas with a few customizations - http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/336k/Newtonhtml/node39.html):
We can approximate the area traced out as the area of a triangle:
\[\begin{equation} dA = \frac{1}{2} r (r d\theta) \end{equation}\]Now we can take a time derivative of the expression above:
\[\begin{align} \frac{dA}{dt} &= \frac{\frac{1}{2} r (r d\theta)}{dt}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{r^2}{2} \frac{d\theta}{dt}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{r^2}{2} \dot{\theta}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{r^2}{2} \frac{C}{r^2}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{C}{2} \end{align}\]Thus, we have derived Kepler’s second law. The motion of the orbit traces out equal areas in equal times (since C is a constant).
Kepler’s First Law
Now that we know that C is the constant angular momentum of the system, we can take a closer look at the radial equation from above:
\[\begin{equation} r(\theta) = \frac{C^2}{GM \left [1 - ecos\theta \right ]} \end{equation}\]Just to simplify the expression, let \(p \equiv C^2/GM\). Then the equation becomes:
\[\begin{equation} r(\theta) = \frac{p}{1 - ecos\theta} \end{equation}\]But this is simply the equation for a conic section in polar form! The constant e defines the shape of the conic section. If \(e = 0\), the equation becomes:
\[\begin{equation} r(\theta) = \frac{p}{1} = p \end{equation}\]This means that the radius of the orbit is a constant value at every angle. In other words, the orbit is circular. If \(0 < e < 1\), then the shape of the orbit is an ellipse. The constant e represents the eccentricity of the orbit (i.e. how circular it is). If the eccentricity of the orbit is close to zero, the orbit is relatively circular. If the eccentricity of the orbit is close to one, the orbit traces out a very skinny ellipse. Thus, we see that the orbits are ellipses or circles (Kepler’s second law).
Remember, when \(e \ge 1\) the orbit traces out either a parabolic or hyperbolic arc. These are not bound orbits, so we will not focus on them here.
Kepler’s Third Law
We can use the information above to derive Kepler’s third law. First, we remember that the time derivative of the area traced out by an orbiting body is a constant:
\[\begin{equation} \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{C}{2} \end{equation}\]We know that the period of the orbit is given by the total area traced out by the orbit (i.e. the area of an ellipse) divided by the time rate of change of the area:
\[\begin{equation} T = \frac{A}{\frac{dA}{dt}} \end{equation}\]The area of an ellipse is given by \(\pi a b\) where a and b are the major and minor radii of the ellipse. Then:
\[\begin{equation} T = \frac{2 \pi a b}{C} \end{equation}\]Then we can use the properties of an ellipse to simplify the expression:
\[\begin{equation} a = \frac{p}{1 - e^2} \end{equation}\] \[\begin{equation} b = \sqrt{1 - e^2} a \end{equation}\] \[\begin{equation} C = \sqrt{GMp} \end{equation}\]We will square the expression for the orbital period and plug in the equations above:
\[\begin{align} T^2 &= \frac{4 \pi^2 a^2 b^2}{C^2}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{4 \pi^2 a^2 (1 - e^2) a^2}{GMp}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{4 \pi^2 a^4 (1 - e^2)}{GM[a(1-e^2)]}\\[0.1cm] &= \frac{4 \pi^2 a^3}{GM}\\[0.1cm] \end{align}\] \[\begin{equation} T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2 a^3}{GM} \end{equation}\]And this is Kepler’s Third Law. The period of the orbit squared is proportional to the major radius of the orbit cubed.
Conclusions
I think we have covered enough material to wrap up the topic of orbital motion for now. Hopefully the last three posts have given you a good background on the utility of reduced mass, the solution of the differential equation for an inverse squared law, and a derivation of Kepler’s laws. Of course this is just the beginning. Orbital motion is a rich area that I will return to in many later posts.
Until next week!

The word "biohacking" might conjure images of inserting microchips under the skin or plugging implants into the brain. But it's actually a lot more simple than that.
In the first of a two-part look at the biohacking community, Sean Fleming starts at the very beginning – and it turns out he's already a biohacker, and so, probably, are you.
If you have used your iPhone to track a run or kept an eye on your heart rate via your Apple Watch to see if that mindfulness meditation course is working, you're subtly hacking yourself already...
"My body is a temple, and I am gathering the data to prove it."
I went for a run yesterday.
A run.
I ran, with my feet, for SEVEN POINT FIVE KILOMETERS.
(that’s 4.66028 miles for you non-metric heathens).

But the best bit wasn’t the act of running. It wasn’t the endorphins flushing my system. It wasn’t the smug sense of self satisfaction for having got off my bum and ran around for a bit, no.
No, the best bit was was when I had finished. The best bit was sitting down, ankles puffy and calfs buzzing with dull pain and analysing the data collected during my run in my post exercise afterglow. Elevation. Heart rate. Calories burned. Distance covered. Time.
When the endorphins had faded the data remained.
Seeing all the numbers that together told the story of what my body had undergone for how long and for how far. That was the real joy. The understanding and control that emerged through the numbers and showed me something tangible. When the endorphins had faded the data remained.
Like many people, I take a great deal of joy in logging runs, bike rides, and other forms of exercise. We enjoy logging kilometres and kilometres of data, creating weekly, monthly and even yearly averages for distances ran or cycled.
It’s like playing Grand Theft Auto and pausing the game to see how many miles have been swum, how many cars stolen, how many fiery deaths have been endured... but real.
And it doesn't feel too far removed from normal life: in my line of work, churning out #relatable #web #content, everything must be analysed and quantified.
How many hits? How many click-throughs? What was the session length? Data forms a huge part of how I conduct and produce my work. If it has such an influence on my working day, why can’t I make it a big part of my everyday life as well? How can I use data to optimise my personal life?
My body is a temple, and I am gathering the data to prove it.
Digging into Fitbit culture and others, like me, who take real pleasure in seeing their lives through a filter of actionable data led me beyond the chest-puffing Strava ego riders, and the quick 5k before breakfast humble-braggers into something much more all-encompassing.
Getting to know the real you.
For the uninitiated, Biohacking is a method of managing your own biology through a combo of medicine, nutrition and ‘electronic techniques’.
When I first stumbled across Biohacking, it had a striking similarity to homeopathy: rejection of modern medicine in favour of something... homebrewed. It’s easy to get lost down a rabbithole of bad content, recycled across the same few blogs saying the same boring stuff.

But as I learned and started reading the more academic side of the biohacking community, the TED talks and the podcasts, I realised the key difference was data.
Biohackers are obsessed with what they can qualify with data. This wasn’t the domain of drippy middle-class pottery students rubbing grass onto their eyeballs - this was the real deal.
Some ways in which biohackers are attempting to unlock their potential is through smart drugs.
My first experience with smart drugs was taking my sister’s Ritalin during my A-Levels and it sort of worked.
Of course, my experience of it is hazy and anecdotal at best, but others who dabble with drugs such as Modafinil, Amphetamines, and even Acid report increased focus, motivation, creativity, and clarity.
 Op-ed pieces have been floating around mainstream news for a few years, opinion swaying back and forth as evidence mounts in favour of using.
Unsurprisingly students are often the focal point of articles about smart drugs, given their mental performance-enhancing properties. Mounting pressure on university students to do their best often means turning to a little something to get them over the line.
So why not trust one particular drug that suits you?
To this one-time dabbler, it doesn’t sound any different from having a stiff confidence-boosting drink before a date, smoking a cigarette to calm yourself down, or drinking a coffee for a merry surge of energy.
In a world where everything has side effects, is it not better to be simply more selective with the drugs you take?
"What you can't measure, you can't manage"
What you can’t measure you can’t manage is something of a mantra within the Biohacking community.
What’s the point in taking nootropics or microdosing psychoactive drugs if you can’t judge its effects empirically? There can be no true self-knowledge without self-tracking, and as the ways in which we can measure improves as more and more technology becomes accessible to us, our data becomes richer and more accurate.
Numbers that represent our online behaviours are already used by e-commerce algorithms and social media marketers to give us unique content, so why can’t we apply the same bespoke ethos to our everyday lives?
Within the remit of Biohacking is a movement dubbed Lifelogging. Lifeloggers, as their name suggests log their lives by using cybernetic implants and wearable technology.
If you’ve ever worn a Fitbit or activity tracker to monitor the quality of your sleep or count the number of steps you’ve done in a day then congratulations! You’re a level one lifelogger.
Welcome to the club. Hack away at yourself.
For advanced lifeloggers, measuring sleep quality is just the tip of the iceberg.
Tweak cortisol levels. Massage insulin levels. Sequence your DNA. Lifeloggers want to figure themselves out on a chemical level.
Because by understanding and correlating what we put in our bodies (food consumed, non-toxic substances), how it affects our state (arousal, blood oxygen levels, mood) and performance (mental, physical) we begin to see how – by managing what goes in and how it affects us – we can start optimising the self.
Having arrived at the Biohacking movement and recognised myself in it, I dug deeper – and discovered guerrilla Biohackers who take their data, their health – and their lives – into their own hands.
 Don't miss part two...


Performs inference of several model-free group contrast measures, which include difference/ratio of cumulative incidence rates at given time points, quantiles, and restricted mean survival times (RMST). Two kinds of covariate adjustment procedures (i.e., regression and augmentation) for inference of the metrics based on RMST are also included.
