The Bignum extensions add the following features to the Javascript language while being 100% backward compatible:
n

BigFloat
) in base 2 using the IEEE 754 semantics.
math
mode which modifies the semantics of the division, modulo and power operator. The division and power operator return a fraction with integer operands and the modulo operator is defined as the Euclidian remainder.
The extensions are independent from each other except the math
mode which relies on the bigint mode and the operator overloading.
If the operands of an operator have at least one object type, a custom
operator method is searched before doing the legacy Javascript
ToNumber
conversion.
For unary operators, the custom function is looked up in the object and has the following name:
unary +
Symbol.operatorPlus
unary -
Symbol.operatorNeg
++
Symbol.operatorInc
--
Symbol.operatorDec
~
Symbol.operatorNot
For binary operators:
Symbol.operatorOrder
is looked up in both
constructors and converted to Int32
. The operator is then
looked in the constructor with the larger Symbol.operatorOrder
value. A TypeError
is raised if both constructors have the same
Symbol.operatorOrder
value.
The operator is looked up with the following name:
+
Symbol.operatorAdd
-
Symbol.operatorSub
*
Symbol.operatorMul
/
Symbol.operatorDiv
/ (math mode)
Symbol.operatorMathDiv
%
Symbol.operatorMod
% (math mode)
Symbol.operatorMathMod
^ (math mode)
Symbol.operatorMathPow
**
Symbol.operatorPow
|
Symbol.operatorOr

Symbol.operatorXor
&
Symbol.operatorAnd
<<
Symbol.operatorShl
>>
Symbol.operatorShr
<
Symbol.operatorCmpLT
>
Symbol.operatorCmpLT
, operands swapped
<=
Symbol.operatorCmpLE
>=
Symbol.operatorCmpLE
, operands swapped
==, !=
Symbol.operatorCmpEQ
The return value of Symbol.operatorCmpLT
, Symbol.operatorCmpLE
and
Symbol.operatorCmpEQ
is converted to Boolean
.
Symbol
constructorThe following global symbols are added for the operator overloading:
operatorOrder
operatorAdd
operatorSub
operatorMul
operatorDiv
operatorMod
operatorPow
operatorShl
operatorShr
operatorAnd
operatorOr
operatorXor
operatorCmpLT
operatorCmpLE
operatorCmpEQ
operatorPlus
operatorNeg
operatorNot
operatorInc
operatorDec
The bigint mode is enabled with the "use bigint"
directive. It
propagates the same way as the strict mode. In bigint mode, all
integers are considered as bigint
(arbitrarily large integer,
similar to the TC39 BigInt
proposal2)
instead of number
(floating point number). In order to be able
to exchange data between standard and bigint modes, numbers are
internally represented as 3 different types:
In standard mode, the semantics of each operation is modified so that
when it returns a number
, it is either of SmallInt or
Float. But the difference between SmallInt and Float is not observable
in standard mode.
In bigint mode, each operation behaves differently whether its operands are integer or float. The difference between SmallInt and BigInt is not observable (i.e. they are both integers).
The following table summarizes the observable types:
| Internal type | Observable type (standard mode) | Observable type (bigint mode) |
|---|---|---|
| SmallInt | number | bigint |
| BigInt | bigint | bigint |
| Float | number | number |
There is no incompatibility with Javascript.
The following changes are visible:
typeof 1.0 === "number"
and typeof 1 === "bigint"
. Another consequence is that 1.0 === 1
is false.
2**53 + 1 === 2**53
. This is no longer true with the bignum extensions.
0x800000000 | 1 === 0x800000001
while it gives 1
in standard mode.
0x1f
i.e. 1 << 32 ===<PHONE_NUMBER>
while it gives 1
in standard mode. However, the >>>
operator (unsigned right shift) which is useless with bignums keeps its standard mode behavior4.
Object.is(0, -0) === true
. Use -0.0
to create a minus zero floating point value.
1/0
throws a RangeError
exception. However, division by the floating point zero returns Infinity or NaN as in standard mode: 1/0.0 === Infinity
. The same holds for zero elevated to a negative integer power i.e. 0**-1
throws a RangeError
exception.
ToPrimitive
abstract operation is called with the "integer"
preferred type when an integer is required (e.g. for bitwise binary or shift operations).
Number.prototype
. InsteadObject.getPrototypeOf(1) === BigInt.prototype
. The prototype of floats remains Number.prototype.
bigint
s.
The operands are converted to number values as in normal Javascript. Then the general case is that an Integer is returned if both operands are Integer. Otherwise, a float is returned.
The +
operator also accepts strings as input and behaves like
standard Javascript in this case.
The binary operator %
returns the truncated remainder of the
division.
The binary operator %
in math mode returns the Euclidian
remainder of the division i.e. it is always positive.
The binary operator /
returns a float.
The binary operator /
in math mode returns a float if one of
the operands is float. Otherwise, BigInt[Symbol.operatorMathDiv]
is
invoked (and returns a fraction for example).
When the result is an Integer type, a dividend of zero yields a RangeError exception.
The returned type of a ** b
or a ^ b
(math mode) is
Float if a or b are Float. If a and b are
integers:
BigInt[Symbol.operatorMathPow]
is invoked (and returns a fraction for example)
The unary -
and unary +
return the same type as their
operand. They performs no floating point rounding when the result is a
float.
The unary operators ++
and --
return the same type as
their operand.
In standard mode:
If the operator returns an Integer and that the result fits a SmallInt, it is converted to SmallInt. Otherwise, the Integer is converted to a Float.
In bigint mode:
If the operator returns an Integer and that the result fits a SmallInt, it is converted to SmallInt. Otherwise it is a BigInt.
In standard mode:
The operands have their standard behavior. If the result fits a SmallInt it is converted to a SmallInt. Otherwise it is a Float.
In bigint mode:
The operands are converted to integer values. The floating point values are converted to integer by rounding them to zero.
The logical operators are defined assuming the integers are represented in two complement notation.
For <<
and <<
, the shift can be positive or negative. So
a << b
is defined as \lfloor a/2^{-b} \rfloor and
a >> b
is defined as \lfloor a/2^{b} \rfloor.
The operator >>>
is supported for backward compatibility and
behaves the same way as Javascript i.e. implicit conversion to Uint32
.
If the result fits a SmallInt it is converted to a SmallInt. Otherwise it is a BigInt.
The relational operators <, <=, >, >=, ==, != work as expected with
integers and floating point numbers (e.g. 1.0 == 1
is true).
The strict equality operators === and !== have the usual Javascript
semantics. In particular, different types never equal, so 1.0
=== 1
is false.
Number literals in bigint mode have a slightly different behavior than in standard Javascript:
p
letter assuming a base 2. The same convention is used by
C99. Example: 0x1p3
is the same as 8.0
.
BigInt
functionThe BigInt
function cannot be invoked as a constructor. When
invoked as a function, it converts its first parameter to an
integer. When a floating point number is given as parameter, it is
truncated to an integer with infinite precision.
BigInt
properties:
asIntN(bits, a)
Set b=a \pmod{2^{bits}}. Return b if b < 2^{bits-1} otherwise b-2^{bits}.
asUintN(bits, a)
Return a \pmod{2^{bits}}.
tdiv(a, b)
Return trunc(a/b). b = 0
raises a RangeError
exception.
fdiv(a, b)
Return \lfloor a/b \rfloor. b = 0
raises a RangeError
exception.
cdiv(a, b)
Return \lceil a/b \rceil. b = 0
raises a RangeError
exception.
ediv(a, b)
Return sgn(b) \lfloor a/{|b|} \rfloor (Euclidian
division). b = 0
raises a RangeError exception.
tdivrem(a, b)
fdivrem(a, b)
cdivrem(a, b)
edivrem(a, b)
Return an array of two elements. The first element is the quotient, the second is the remainder. The same rounding is done as the corresponding division operation.
sqrt(a)
Return \lfloor \sqrt(a) \rfloor. A RangeError exception is raised if a < 0.
sqrtrem(a)
Return an array of two elements. The first element is \lfloor \sqrt{a} \rfloor. The second element is a-\lfloor \sqrt{a} \rfloor^2. A RangeError exception is raised if a < 0.
floorLog2(a)
Return -1 if a \leq 0 otherwise return \lfloor \log2(a) \rfloor.
ctz(a)
Return the number of trailing zeros in the two’s complement binary representation of a. Return -1 if a=0.
BigInt.prototype
It is a normal object.
Number
constructorThe number constructor returns its argument rounded to a Float using the global floating point environement. In bigint mode, the Number constructor returns a Float. In standard mode, it returns a SmallInt if the value fits it, otherwise a Float.
Number.prototype
The following properties are modified:
toString(radix)
In bigint mode, integers are converted to the specified radix with infinite precision.
toPrecision(p)
toFixed(p)
toExponential(p)
In bigint mode, integers are accepted and converted to string with infinite precision.
parseInt(string, radix)
In bigint mode, an integer is returned and the conversion is done with infinite precision.
Math
objectThe following properties are modified:
abs(x)
Absolute value. Return an integer if x
is an Integer. Otherwise
return a Float. No rounding is performed.
min(a, b)
max(a, b)
No rounding is performed. The returned type is the same one as the minimum (resp. maximum) value.
This extension adds the BigFloat
primitive type. The
BigFloat
type represents floating point numbers are in base 2
with the IEEE 754 semantics. A floating
point number is represented as a sign, mantissa and exponent. The
special values NaN
, +/-Infinity
, +0
and -0
are supported. The mantissa and exponent can have any bit length with
an implementation specific minimum and maximum.
Each floating point operation operates with infinite precision and
then rounds the result according to the specified floating point
environment (BigFloatEnv
object). The status flags of the
environment are also set according to the result of the operation.
If no floating point environment is provided, the global floating point environment is used.
The rounding mode of the global floating point environment is always
RNDN
(“round to nearest with ties to even”)5. The status flags of the global environment cannot be
read6. The precision of the global environment is
BigFloatEnv.prec
. The number of exponent bits of the global
environment is BigFloatEnv.expBits
. If BigFloatEnv.expBits
is
strictly smaller than the maximum allowed number of exponent bits
(BigFloatEnv.expBitsMax
), then the global environment subnormal
flag is set to true
. Otherwise it is set to false
;
For example, prec = 53
and expBits = 11
give exactly
the same precision as the IEEE 754 64 bit floating point type. It is
the default floating point precision.
The global floating point environment can only be modified temporarily
when calling a function (see BigFloatEnv.setPrec
). Hence a
function can change the global floating point environment for its
callees but not for its caller.
The builtin operators are extended so that a BigFloat is returned if at least one operand is a BigFloat. The computations are always done with infinite precision and rounded according to the global floating point environment.
typeof
applied on a BigFloat
returns bigfloat
.
BigFloat can be compared with all the other numeric types and the result follows the expected mathematical relations.
However, since BigFloat and Number are different types they are never
equal when using the strict comparison operators (e.g. 0.0 ===
0.0l
is false).
BigFloat literals are floating point numbers with a trailing l
suffix. BigFloat literals have an infinite precision. They are rounded
according to the global floating point environment when they are
evaluated.7
BigFloat
functionThe BigFloat
function cannot be invoked as a constructor. When
invoked as a function: the parameter is converted to a primitive
type. If the result is a numeric type, it is converted to BigFloat
without rounding. If the result is a string, it is converted to
BigFloat using the precision of the global floating point environment.
BigFloat
properties:
LN2
PI
Getter. Return the value of the corresponding mathematical constant rounded to nearest, ties to even with the current global precision. The constant values are cached for small precisions.
MIN_VALUE
MAX_VALUE
EPSILON
Getter. Return the minimum, maximum and epsilon BigFloat
values
(same definition as the corresponding Number
constants).
fpRound(a[, e])
Round the floating point number a
according to the floating
point environment e
or the global environment if e
is
undefined.
parseFloat(a[, radix[, e]])
Parse the string a
as a floating point number in radix
radix
. The radix is 0 (default) or from 2 to 36. The radix 0
means radix 10 unless there is a hexadecimal or binary prefix. The
result is rounded according to the floating point environment e
or the global environment if e
is undefined.
add(a, b[, e])
sub(a, b[, e])
mul(a, b[, e])
div(a, b[, e])
Perform the specified floating point operation and round the floating
point number a
according to the floating point environment
e
or the global environment if e
is undefined. If
e
is specified, the floating point status flags are updated.
floor(x[, e])
ceil(x[, e])
round(x[, e])
trunc(x[, e])
Round to integer. A rounded BigFloat
is returned. e
is an
optional floating point environment.
fmod(x, y[, e])
remainder(x, y[, e])
Floating point remainder. The quotient is truncated to zero (fmod) or
to the nearest integer with ties to even (remainder). e
is an
optional floating point environment.
sqrt(x[, e])
Square root. Return a rounded floating point number. e
is an
optional floating point environment.
sin(x[, e])
cos(x[, e])
tan(x[, e])
asin(x[, e])
acos(x[, e])
atan(x[, e])
atan2(x, y[, e])
exp(x[, e])
log(x[, e])
pow(x, y[, e])
Transcendental operations. Return a rounded floating point
number. e
is an optional floating point environment.
BigFloat.prototype
The following properties are modified:
toString(radix)
For floating point numbers:
toPrecision(p[, rnd_mode])
toFixed(p[, rnd_mode])
toExponential(p[, rnd_mode])
Same semantics as the corresponding Number
functions with
BigFloats. There is no limit on the accepted precision p
. The
rounding mode can be optionally specified. It is set by default to
BigFloatEnv.RNDNA
.
BigFloatEnv
constructorThe BigFloatEnv([p, [,rndMode]]
constructor cannot be invoked as a
function. The floating point environment contains:
BigFloatEnv.prototype.clearStatus()
or with the various status flag setters.
new BigFloatEnv([p, [,rndMode]]
creates a new floating point
environment. The status flags are reset. If no parameter is given the
precision, exponent bits and subnormal flags are copied from the
global floating point environment. Otherwise, the precision is set to
p
, the number of exponent bits is set to expBitsMax
and the
subnormal flags is set to false
. If rndMode
is
undefined
, the rounding mode is set to RNDN
.
BigFloatEnv
properties:
prec
Getter. Return the precision in bits of the global floating point
environment. The initial value is 53
.
expBits
Getter. Return the exponent size in bits of the global floating point
environment assuming an IEEE 754 representation. If expBits <
expBitsMax
, then subnormal numbers are supported. The initial value
is 11
.
setPrec(f, p[, e])
Set the precision of the global floating point environment to p
and the exponent size to e
then call the function
f
. Then the Float precision and exponent size are reset to
their precious value and the return value of f
is returned (or
an exception is raised if f
raised an exception). If e
is undefined
it is set to BigFloatEnv.expBitsMax
. p
must be >= 53 and e
must be >= 11 so that the global precision
is at least equivalent to the IEEE 754 64 bit doubles.
precMin
Read-only integer. Return the minimum allowed precision. Must be at least 2.
precMax
Read-only integer. Return the maximum allowed precision. Must be at least 53.
expBitsMin
Read-only integer. Return the minimum allowed exponent size in bits. Must be at least 3.
expBitsMax
Read-only integer. Return the maximum allowed exponent size in bits. Must be at least 11.
RNDN
Read-only integer. Round to nearest, with ties to even rounding mode.
RNDZ
Read-only integer. Round to zero rounding mode.
RNDD
Read-only integer. Round to -Infinity rounding mode.
RNDU

RNDNA
Read-only integer. Round to nearest, with ties away from zero rounding mode.
RNDNU
Read-only integer. Round to nearest, with ties to +Infinity rounding mode.
RNDF8
Read-only integer. Faithful rounding mode. The result is non-deterministicly rounded to -Infinity or +Infinity. This rounding mode usually gives a faster and deterministic running time for the floating point operations.
BigFloatEnv.prototype
properties:
prec
Getter and setter (Integer). Return or set the precision in bits.
expBits
Getter and setter (Integer). Return or set the exponent size in bits assuming an IEEE 754 representation.
rndMode
Getter and setter (Integer). Return or set the rounding mode.

expBits = expBitsMax
.
clearStatus()
Clear the status flags.
invalidOperation
divideByZero
overflow
underflow
inexact
Getter and setter (Boolean). Status flags.
Math
objectThe following properties are modified:
abs(x)
Absolute value. If x
is a BigFloat, its absolute value is
returned as a BigFloat. No rounding is performed.
min(a, b)
max(a, b)
The returned type is the same one as the minimum (resp. maximum)
value, so BigFloat
values are accepted. When a BigFloat
is returned, no rounding is performed.
A new math mode is enabled with the "use math"
directive. "use bigint"
is implied in math mode. With this
mode, writing mathematical expressions is more intuitive, exact
results (fractions) can be computed for all operators and floating
point literals have the BigFloat
type by default.
It propagates the same way as the strict mode. In this mode:

), except that a ^ b
invokes BigInt[Symbol.operatorMathPow]
if a and b are integers and |a| \geq 2 and b < 0.

suffix is implied).
Symbol
constructorThe following global symbols are added for the operator overloading:
operatorMathDiv
operatorMathMod
operatorMathPow
Math.div
and Math.mod
) could be added to be able to call the normal division and modulo operators when in math mode.
Number
literals.
https://tc39.github.io/proposal-bigint/
https://tc39.github.io/proposal-bigint/
Could be extended to 53 bits without changing the principle.
The unsigned right right operator could be removed in bigint mode.
The rationale is that the rounding mode changes must always be explicit.
The rationale is to avoid side effects for the built-in operators.
Base 10 floating point literals cannot usually be exactly represented as base 2 floating point number. In order to ensure that the literal is represented accurately with the current precision, it must be evaluated at runtime.
Could be removed in case a deterministic behvior for floating point operations is required.


The Thin Red Line
_The Thin Red Line_ is a war film, based on the series of events that led to the takeover of the island of Guadecanal. It has an all-star cast, an epic running time, many intermingling stories, and stunning cinematography. The film+s strengths are that it is stunningly beautiful, and that it is deeply philosophical. It+s weakness is an incoherence that starts slow, and builds throughout the film.
If I have been slow in reviewing this film, here+s why: For the longest time I+ve waited for it to hit my area. Now that I+ve seen it, my only desire is to see it again.
Usually, that would be a blurb of great praise. Not here. I would want to see it again so that maybe then, I would "get it." It seems to be very poetic, very visual, very philosophical, deeply complicated, and too abstract.
But it+s not fair for me to criticize the film for going over my head at points. It+s not fair for me to complain that I could not keep up with the rhythm of Terence Malick+s direction. He may have made it a little harder to follow, a little less dumbed down, but I wasn+t bored. (Okay, I was bored a little towards the very end).
The film isn+t overtly graphic like _Saving Private Ryan_, but there are some strong violent moments. It+s more concerned with the deeper, underlying issues of man versus nature. Of man in a tribal state, being more peaceful than the "civilized" counterpart. There+s one phenomenal image where a tribesman walks through the bushes, totally oblivious to the infantry walking towards him.
There are many of these phenomenal images. The only thing that is lacking is the glue of a concrete story. But it+s not that the story doesn+t exist. The story takes on many forms, affects many characters, and doesn+t assume that we need to have it all explained for us. It+s not conventional, it+s not Hollywood, and it+s not dull. I could only hope that repeated viewings will improve my moviegoing experience.

The Laughing Policeman (1973)
Grade: 54
Before Walter Matthau was a grumpy old man, he was a grumpy middle-aged man. In "The Laughing Policeman", his character doesn't like to talk, and doesn't like to listen.
As the stiffs are carried off the bus, and the morgue learns more about them, the cops try to trace the victims back to the crime. One of the victims is a John Doe junkie.
Matthau's new partner is Bruce Dern, who tries throughout the movie to win Matthau's respect. Matthau and Dern believe the best way to investigate a massacre is to lean on all the stoolies and low lifes, which has the side effect of keeping somewhat interesting character actors on the screen. Dern insults the stoolies, and even gives one a swishy. A black cop works on the case, also hassling street vermin. He has a contest with a pimp to see who can use the most jive talk in their sentences.
Matthau interviews Evans' girlfriend, and learns that Evans was spending his free time investigating an unsolved murder of a prostitute.  This revelation has nothing to do with the central plot, and just rubs our noses in the sleaze. One could say that about much of the movie: the cops externally condemn their environment, but appear to secretly enjoy it, to the point of avoiding their families.
Informants give false trails, but eventually a tip leads to John Doe's identity as Gus Niles, a war buddy of Henry Camararo, who is the brother of the dead prostitute. Evans was on the bus trailing Niles. Camararo entered the bus to kill Niles and Evans to silence them. Camararo is also a wealthy businessman, so he leads an active life.
 Camararo scores, goes to a hotel room with his prize, and the cops use binoculars to see an eyeful. Some movies have gratuitous violence or sex, but this movie has gratuitous sleaze.
Camararo realizes he's being tailed, and this leads to a chase scene that is a pale imitation of the one in the then-recent "French Connection". Camararo, on a bus with Matthau, pulls out a handgun and is about to fire, but is distracted by shots from Dern from a speeding car, and Matthau tags him. Dern has won the respect of Matthau, just in time for the credits to roll.

This blog post is challenging for me to write about because it surrounds stereotype threat, a phenomenon that I have seldom, if ever, experienced as a member of groups with predominantly positive stereotypes associated with them.
During the first week of phase 0 in DBC, we were asked to identify values we associated with feeling the happiest, the proudest, or the most satisfied that we've been during our lives. I identified the following values: feeling a sense of accomplishment, confident, enthusiastic, passionate, when I had many close relationships, and when I was helping other people.
For this blog post, we were asked how we feel when thinking about those values and whether they can help mediate stereotype threat if we recognize it. Given the fact that Stereotype Threat does not really apply to me, I'm going to simply try to focus on describing a few mechanisms I've worked on developing in order to cope with emotional turmoil and what will come in handy during such an intense program.
First, I think it's important that if I'm "feeling down" while at DBC, I take a breath. And then afterwards, I take another. I'm planning to make a conscientious effort to meditate, focusing on my body and the way it's experiencing the turmoil. I think that finding an outlet to talk through whatever issues I'm struggling with will also be of paramount importance, but I also have to recognize that chances are I won't be able to address it/talk it out immediately, so there's some element of just needing to live with the discomfort. This is an exercise that is incredibly challenging for me, but I have been working through more and more. Finally, it will be important to recognize if/when I become overwhelmed so I can take a break and resume later. Here's to being prepared! As always, this work is a never-ending process and I strive to continue working on it.

Lumo defines a set of style modules and CSS custom properties you can use to apply a consistent color palette across your application.
Import color.html
to use them.
The default color palette is WCAG 2.0 AA level compliant unless otherwise noted.
Include the color style module to easily apply basic colors for any style scope (e.g. index.html for global scope). It will set the background, text and link colors and enable you to use the dark palette colors inside that style scope.
The dark color palette is available when you include the main style module.
You can apply the theme="dark"
attribute on any element inside the style scope where you include the main style module.
If you include the main style module in the global scope (i.e. index.html), you can apply the theme="dark"
attribute on the html
element directly, to make the whole page adopt the dark color palette.
This example doesn’t work in Internet Explorer 11 or EdgeHTML 14. Read the browser compatibility instructions if you need to support those browsers.
The base color is used as the main background color for the system. The grayscale colors are designed to be used on top of it, and the text colors are designed to have proper contrast with it.
The most prominent color in the system. It is used to bring attention to certain elements in the interface. Accompanying text and contrast colors are also defined.
Usually a red color, used for error indicators, error messages and buttons that can cause permanent data loss. Accompanying text and contrast colors are also defined.
Usually a green color, used for success messages and buttons that complete a certain task. Accompanying text and contrast colors are also defined.
The --lumo-success-color
does not have enough contrast by default to meet WCAG 2.0 AA level requirements (3:1). Use hsl(144, 82%, 38%)
for compliant contrast.
The --lumo-success-text-color
is compliant by default.
These colors form the foundation for your application colors. The grayscale colors consist of 11 different shades of “black” and “white”, each with a degree of transparency.
The tint and shade colors not always pure grayscale by default, but tinted slightly with the primary color.
The grayscale colors are useful for dividing pages into sections with different backgrounds and borders, or used as text colors, for example.
The default text colors are tested to have enough contrast on top of the Base color and “Base + 5–20% Contrast color”. Avoid using a a higher Contrast color as a background color for any important content.
The contrast colors work automatically for both light and dark variations. For the light palette the shade colors are used, and for the dark palette the tint colors are used.
The following text colors have the desired contrast with the Base color.
Note, that --lumo-primary-text-color
is not necessarily the same as --lumo-primary-color
. Use the main color for backgrounds and the “text” version for text.
The same applies for the “error” and “success” colors as well.
The “tertiary” and “disabled” text colors do not have enough contrast by default to meet WCAG 2.0 AA level requirements (3:1). Only use them for text which is not crucial for the end user to see.
var(--lumo-primary-text-color)
You will see the light palette colors here on Internet Explorer 11 and Edge 14. See Browser compatibility for more info.

Hi! My name is Poulomi and I'm aspiring to be a full-stack web developer within the industry after I graduate.
I was raised in San Jose, California
I love knitting, photography, watching Netflix, solving Sudoku puzzles, and hanging out with my friends and family!
Hmmmmm. I'd probably say Adobe since I love photography and it's a company that combines the love of photographs with technology!
I'm currently in my last year here at SFSU (a senior).
I love to physically be able to see the things that I have been working on-- being a web developer makes it easy to see how you can apply your knowledge of both front-end and back-end in different fields. It's also nice to see the analytics behind how often users are active on the site.


{% extends "swingtime/swingtime_base.html" %} {% block title %}Calendar Home{% endblock %} {% block main_content %}
Who can see this page?
Only the Khaleesi.
How do I select activities to schedule?
Use the Challenges and Trainings dropdowns on this page (middle top grey dropdowns) to decide which submitted activities you
want to accept.
Submitted will show you everything that has been submitted for the Con and has neither been accepted, nor rejected. If you reject an activity,
it doesn't go away forever, but it will be put aside and only accessible from the Rejected page,
so you don't need to see things you know you don't want every time you look at Submitted Challenges or Activities.
Accepted will only show you those you've accepted.
How do I use the Auto Scheduler?
First, you need to approve some Challenges or Trainings, because Otto only picks up on accepted activities. Next, you need to make some empty Occurrences to be filled; the Upcoming Con dropdown (left-most dropdown) will take you to the days. Then, Un-Scheduled (from the Schedule dropdown, right-hand side) will show you everything you've approved but haven't scheduled. From there it's pretty self-explanatory.
How do I get scheduling assistance, if I don't want it to be auto-scheduled but still want to know about Blackouts and conflicts?
Two ways:
1) If you make the occurrence with the calender, choose the challenge or training in the form and click "Check Schedule." That will look for any conflicts and let you know.
Or, if you go to Un-Scheduled, click on the number for blackouts for that activity, and that will take you to the
Schedule Assistant page that lets you see possible matching empty Occurrences.
How do I save a timeslot suggested by the Schedule Assistant?
Click on the "Conflict Score" number in the table, and that will take you to the Occurrence form, with all of the data filled out.
Click "Check Schedule" to check for conflicts, or "Update" to save.
How do I check a coach's schedule for conflicts?
You can check the entire schedule for any coach or captain conlficts by selecting "Check Conflicts" from the "Schedule" dropdown on the right.
You can also look at individual coach schedules by clicking on the calendar icon that you see on the training or coach page.
Only the Khaleesi can see this icon and follow this link. For everyone else, it just shows them their own schedule.
How do I make the schedule visible on the site?
From the rightmost Schedule dropdown, go to "Status". There you can make the schedule "visible", so it will show up on the main Challenge and Training home pages. You can also make it "final", which will mean that only you can delete challenges or trainings that have been scheduled.

Atar is the first AI-Powered, Virtual Advocacy Platform, that understands needs, determines eligbility and walks users step-by-step through everything they need to access social and other services.
We built Atar with the UNHCR in Montreal for refugees, but are now adapting the platform to support communities disproportionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in partnership with Mount Sinai Health System and community organizations in NYC.
In many ways we stumbled on our work by chance. Little did I know that not long after I moved from Somerville to Montréal to teach and do research I would have four relatives from Eritrea seeking asylum in Canada.
And it was while volunteering at a local shelter that my relatives were sent to when they first arrived, that we saw first hand how much effort and coordination resettlement requires. Not too long after relocating to New York, we began to see alot of the same opportunities to support communities disproportionally impact by COVID-19.
We started Edel Technologies to support social service providers and help them leverage, data, analytics, apps, and artificial intelligence to improve their service delivery capacity and effectiveness.
But what’s most important to us, is that our solutions restore the dignity that many loose waiting for help by giving them the information and resources they need to help themselves.
“It is fantastic to see asylum-seekers and refugees working at COMPASS who have had a first-hand experience on how difficult it is to find their way in a new country developing an application to help those coming after them...The UN Refugee Agency is proud to be associated with their project.”

Cemetery Man (1995) Rating: 5.0 stars out of 5.0 stars
Cast: Rupert Everett, Francois Hadji-Lazaro, Anna Falchi Written by: Gianni Romoli Directed by: Michele Soavi Running Time: 99 minutes
Retitling of the Italian black comedy/horror Dellamorte Dellamore (meaning "of Death and Love") and based on the novel by Tiziano Sclavi, Cemetery Man features Rupert Everett as Francesco Dellamorte, operator of Buffalora Cemetery. Whenever someone new is buried in the cemetery, seven days later they return from the grave, hungry for flesh. Dellamorte and his mentally handicapped assistant, Gnaghi (Hadji-Lazaro), must shoot them in the head and rebury them in order to keep them from doing any harm. Between replantings, Dellamorte tries to make his best friend's seemingly perfect life miserable, most of the younger townspeople taunt him because they think he is impotent, and the mayor won't listen to his plight involving the graveyard.
When the most incredibly beautiful woman Dellamorte has ever seen (Anna Falchi) appears at his workplace to mourn the passing of her substantially older husband, he immediately falls in love. She rebukes him at first, but finally warms up to him, and they end up making love on her dead husband's grave ("I never kept any secrets from him" she explains when questioned as to why). Unfortunately for her, it's been seven days since her husband's passing, and he returns from the grave taking a large bite out of her arm before Dellamorte manages to ram a large metal cross through his head.
Dellamorte's life then turns upside down more than it already was.  Dellamorte snaps and kills the teenagers who taunted him and three prostitutes. All of the murders get blamed on his best friend, who confesses to those crimes and the murder of his own wife and children because he also snaps under the constant barrage of pessimism from Dellamorte. When Dellamorte tries to leave town to get away from all the madness, what he finds humbles but doesn't surprise him.
Cemetery Man is currently available only on videocassette and laserdisc, neither of which is letterboxed, effectively ruining many of the jokes and impressive visuals that were seen on the big screen. Director Michele Soavi uses the gothic statuary and shadows of the cemetery to great effect, and some of his wonderful visually striking imagery is lost in the transfer. A Japanese import was available letterboxed, but unfortunately, is no longer in print. It's a shame a decent letterboxed copy isn't available, because a movie this great deserves better. Unceremoniously dumped into theaters with a poor advertising campaign that inaccurately reflected the tone of the film, Cemetery Man was virtually ignored at the box office, then was unceremoniously dumped onto home video.
Cemetery Man was shot and dubbed in English (as many Italian films are) using the original actors, who just post synched every line, so those of you who don't prefer to read subtitles have nothing to worry about. I highly recommend this quirky little film to anyone looking for something a little different in his or her movie watching experience, especially if you are tired of the milieu of teen horror romps that Hollywood has churned out in the wake of Scream. It's nice to find a well written horror film that can combine gore, comedy, and human psychology as deftly as this film does. Originally presented in 1.85:1 (but good luck finding a copy of that anywhere).

A title which is solely an initialism - uses big letters, optionally also dots.
Historically, while the practice of shortening words has been around for a long time (think "SPQR"), it has became very common among companies since the late 19th century; thus, such titles tend to be set in the modern era, and often have a vague suggestion of some powerful organization or government involved somewhere.
This appears to be especially popular for video games.
If such a title has a subtitle, more often than not it will be simply an expansion of the initialism in question.
Note that acronyms written as one normally capitalized word, such as "Scuba" or "Gestapo", do not count as example of this trope. Titles that simply include an initialism (Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) don't fit in here either.
Often overlaps with Team Title or Vehicle Title. Sometimes also with Fun with Acronyms, though usually it's because the initialism in the title is already the name of something within the work itself.
This is so common for names of companies, organizations, software and industry products that there's no point in listing them, apart from when they're repurposed as names of works.
Examples:
- D.I.C.E.: DNA Integrated Cybernetic Enterprises
- FLCL

Brussels Increases the Fine for Throwing a Cigarette Butt from 50 to 200 Euros
Starting next year the fine for throwing a cigarette butt in Brussels will be increased from 50 to 200 euros, according to the mayoralty of the Belgian capital.
The city's cleanliness office is launching a plan to raise awareness among smokers, install urban ashtrays, as well as to launch a project for the utilisation of cigarette butts via pocket ashtrays, the service said.
Hard measures are explained by the municipal authorities with the fact that almost one third of the municipal waste collected by the municipal services are cigarette butts.
It takes 15 years for a cigarette butt to decompose and also contains many toxic substances. The mayor states that only one cigarette butt can contaminate 500 liters of water.

Testing Routes
Testing routes in Sinatra requires a ruby gem called Rack-Test that is built upon RSpec. You run these tests using RSpec in the console, and since RSpec is a DSL, you should try to remember the proper syntax. Here are a few examples of Rack-Tests. Note that you can test HTTP status (cats).
One thing that our DBC teacher mentioned in setting up our tests is to use the three a's
- arrange: prepare the test with w/e you need to create
- act: submit the test
- assert: test the test.(Redundant, I know.)
Below is an image of his HTTP route Rspec tests.


GHOST WORLD
Reviewed by Harvey Karten United Artists/ Granada Film Director: Terry Zwigoff Writer: Daniel Clowes, Terry Zwigoff Cast: Thora Birth, Scarlett, Johansson, Steve Buscemi, Illeana Douglas, Bob Balaban, Brad Renfro
We all know people like the lead characters in Terry Zwigoff's "Ghost World," based on an underground comic strip by co- scripter Daniel Clowes. They are people who are so judgmental that they look down on the rest of the world, considering all others to be dorks. Generally these types are pretty dorky themselves, and they tend also to be unhappy folks whether extroverted or otherwise, covering up their feelings of inadequacy by their cynical demeanor. "Ghost World" describes a relationship between two such people, the outgoing, fun-loving Enid (Thora Birch) and her more withdrawn and also more attractive best pal Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson--who at the age of 15 is playing someone three years her senior). Enid and Rebecca are at a crossroads in their lives having just graduated from high school. Will their friendship slip away as, regrettably, so many harmonious connections do at this point? Since neither young woman is going to college and the two even plan to share an apartment, the odds are that their close affiliation will be unaffected. And yet...
"Ghost World" is about the "and yet," about how events conspire to change their fellowship and lead Enid into quirky new affiliations that help her to find out who she is. Zwigoff opens the story at a graduation from a high school in a small-to-medium sized town. Enid discovers that she must attend summer school to make up an art class that she did not pass, a circumstance that sees her predictably rolling her eyes and turning down her brightly-painted lips in at least mock disgust. To brighten what looks like an otherwise dull season, Enid coaxes Rebecca into another bout in her favorite game: humiliating people she considers beneath her, and sets her sights on an ad she finds in the personals. Pretending to be the woman that the ad placer had once almost met and now seeks, she induces the middle- aged man to meet his alleged date in a restaurant, only to watch him suffer as his intended does not show.
The story, written by comic strip writer Daniel Clowes and the director, puts us into the world of these two 18-year-olds, allowing us to eavesdrop on a series of events, some humorous, others poignant, still others a combination of the two. While Enid takes her art class with a New-Age instructor, Roberta (Illeana Douglas), who encourages the kids to express themselves, she winds up in a relationship with the "loser" whom she humiliated days earlier, Seymour (Steve Buscemi), who turns out to be a quiet collector of 78 rpm records and knows a lot about jazz from the '20's on. She acts as his dating service, fixing him up with an attractive and willing woman, even forcing Seymour to realize that she likes the bespectacled 18-year-old more than the woman he had once speculated was made for him.
The film is brimming with shtick, a particularly incisive one occurring in a movie theater with Enid working the concession stand, losing her job within hours because she is brutally honest with the customers.
The title of the movie comes from graffiti that Daniel Clowes once saw on the wall in a bad Chicago neighborhood--which got the scripter to think that the America of today is undergoing a steady change for the worse, as malls and fast-food chains take away a sense of neighborhood; and to the characters themselves who are about to lose their friendships.
There are marvelous performances in this toned-down film, different from the usual summer teen fare, with Bob Balaban playing the laissez-faire single dad whose rekindled alliance with his ex-wife Maxine (Teri Garr) puts additional pressure on Enid's current living arrangements and by Illeana Douglas as the kind of art teacher we wish we had in high school. Lenser Affonso Beato wisely keeps his camera pretty steady throughout avoiding the quick editing and panoramic views that cause audiences to reach for the dramamine. The end, slightly surreal, is a magical moment, giving the viewers some insight into a major decision which Enid is forced to make.

| pkg_attach {xfun} | R Documentation |
pkg_attach()
is a vectorized version of library()
over
the package
argument to attach multiple packages in a single function
call. pkg_load()
is a vectorized version of
requireNamespace()
to load packages (without attaching them).
The functions pkg_attach2()
and pkg_load2()
are wrappers of
pkg_attach(install = TRUE)
and pkg_load(install = TRUE)
,
respectively. loadable()
is an abbreviation of
requireNamespace(quietly = TRUE)
. pkg_available()
tests if a
package with a minimal version is available.
pkg_attach( ..., install = FALSE, message = getOption("xfun.pkg_attach.message", TRUE) ) pkg_load(..., error = TRUE, install = FALSE) loadable(pkg, strict = TRUE, new_session = FALSE) pkg_available(pkg, version = NULL) pkg_attach2(...) pkg_load2(...)
... |
Package names (character vectors, and must always be quoted). |

Whether to automatically install packages that are not
available using |
message |
Whether to show the package startup messages (if any startup messages are provided in a package). |
error |
Whether to signal an error when certain packages cannot be loaded. |
pkg |
A single package name. |
strict |
If |
new_session |
Whether to test if a package is loadable in a new R
session. Note that |
version |
A minimal version number. If |
These are convenience functions that aim to solve these common problems: (1)
We often need to attach or load multiple packages, and it is tedious to type
several library()
calls; (2) We are likely to want to install the
packages when attaching/loading them but they have not been installed.
pkg_attach()
returns NULL
invisibly. pkg_load()
returns a logical vector, indicating whether the packages can be loaded.
pkg_attach2()
is similar to pacman::p_load()
, but does
not allow non-standard evaluation (NSE) of the ...
argument, i.e.,
you must pass a real character vector of package names to it, and all names
must be quoted. Allowing NSE adds too much complexity with too little gain
(the only gain is that it saves your effort in typing two quotes).
library(xfun) pkg_attach("stats", "graphics") # pkg_attach2('servr') # automatically install servr if it is not installed (pkg_load("stats", "graphics"))


Two Stolen Children Rescued In Anambra By Police
The children, who were stolen from Enugwu Aguleri in the Anambra East Local Government Area were rescued in Nkpor under Idemili Local Government Area of the state.
by SaharaReporters, New York
The police Anambra on Monday rescued two children allegedly stolen by two women in the state, a report by PUNCH said.
The children, who were stolen from Enugwu Aguleri in the Anambra East Local Government Area were rescued in Nkpor under Idemili Local Government Area of the state.
Handing over the children to their parents at the command’s headquarters on Monday, the police warned parents to be wary about the whereabouts of their children.
Spokesperson for the police in Anambra, Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident.
He said, “Following intelligence report, police detectives in Anambra State arrested two female suspects at Nkpor in Idemili North LGA of the state.
“Preliminary investigation by police detectives attached to Otoucha Division revealed that the two children were allegedly stolen from Enugwu Aguleri in Anambra East LGA by one Ani Chisom, 28, of Amuri in Nkanu-East LGA of Enugu State and Afamefuna Udodili, 32, of Orodo in Mbaitolu LGA of Imo State.
“Following the public announcement by the command, parents of the two kids from Enugwu Aguleri came and identified their children.
“The children have since reunited with their parents and the case is under investigation after which the suspects would be charged to court.”

Long methods should be considered for refactoring
-
This rule is to help people identify potentially long methods, so they can consider refactoring them.
-
The rule does not count lines of whitespace in the recommended maximum is 40 lines, this varies per context though and should not be looked at as a hard limit.
-
Try to break up long methods into smaller private methods that describe what's going on.
-
However, don't chain methods together to avoid long methods when refactoring.
Noncompliant Code Example
class MyClass()
{
public void MethodThatDoesALotOfStuff()
{
return DoThisFirst();
}
private int DoThisFirst()
{
// do some stuff...
return DoThisSecond()
}
private int DoThisSecond()
{
// do some stuff...
return DoThisThird();
}
private int DoThisThird()
{
// do some stuff...
}
}
Compliant Code Example
class MyClass()
{
public void MethodThatDoesALotOfStuff()
{
DoThisFirst();
DoThisSecond();
return DoThisThird();
}
private void DoThisFirst()
{
// do some stuff...
}
private void DoThisSecond()
{
// do some stuff...
}
private int DoThisThird()
{
// do some stuff...
}
}
If you are having problems with breaking methods down, try Martin Fowler's Book called refactoring https://www.amazon.com/Refactoring-Improving-Existing-Addison-Wesley-Signature/dp/0134757599/


Toledo saw that happen when Ohio rattled off a 14-0 run in what was a close game in just three minutes. Cece Hooks and •Erica Johnson led the team up and down the floor, knocking down almost every shot.
Coach Bob Boldon thinks the Bobcats were missing some of that speed in the second half of the 79-76 loss at Akron.
“I wish we would play a little faster,” Boldon said. “It’s hard to complain about that when we’re 32nd in the country for scoring. It seems like a silly thing. Maybe I should pick something else to complain about, but we’ve been better when we play fast. We never look bad playing fast.”
It’s hard to play fast at this point of the season. In late February, teams are worn down from playing for the last four months. The Bobcats have been practicing and playing games regularly and have fallen into a routine.
“We tried something different,” Boldon said. “Something where it’s not coming and doing the same practice routine over and over and over again on a Monday. At the same time, I believe in routines, so I try to stick with them in general regimen. But sometimes it’s nice to put something different out there to spike your attention.”
That’s why on Monday, Ohio’s practice was filled with games of 3-on-3. Hooks, Johnson and Amani Burke, the Bobcats’ top three scorers, were all on different teams for the competition.
Not only did this competitive play spike the players’ attention — it also forced them to play fast. With a 12-second shot clock, the players had to play faster on both sides of the ball. Boldon was also looking for quick transitions between offense and defense, something he thought needs improving heading into the final stretch of the season.
“They started to develop some strategies to work with a quick clock, get both good offensive shots and get matched up on defense,” Boldon said. “I didn’t think we did a really good job of that Saturday.”
Ohio (17-9, 10-5 MAC) might need to use some of that quick clock management in the upcoming MAC Tournament. All four of the Bobcats’ conference losses have come by one possession. Their average margin of loss in the MAC is two points.
The team will look to Hooks and Johnson as they have all season to up the tempo on the floor.
The problem with that for Boldon, however, is that he is already asking for so much from his two guards.
“It’s also more taxing on your point guards to play fast,” Boldon said. “There is a limited amount of things I can ask Cierra and Erica to do. So, it’s kind of a fine line of I wish we could play a little faster, I think if we’d play faster, we’d have more success. But the offensive side of things is fine. It’s just defense we’ve got to pick up a little bit.”
Luckily for the Bobcats, they have the fastest player in the conference — who also happens to be the best defender in the MAC — in Hooks. The star point guard has averaged a career-high 3.8 steals per game, which is fourth in the nation, and leads Ohio with 18.4 points per game.
The defense will be tested in the final two weeks of the season, with three of the MAC’s top six offenses on Ohio’s schedule. Hooks will be key, but she can’t do it all.
The Bobcats failed their first test by falling to Bowling Green on Wednesday and gave up 82 points to the No. 10 offense in the conference. That performance may serve as a wake-up call for Boldon’s players, who dropped back-to-back MAC games for the first time since 2018.
Ohio still has three games left against Buffalo, Kent State and Miami. The Bobcats defeated each of those teams in their previous East Division meeting this season, but they can’t afford to slip any further if they want to win their division for the second consecutive season.


Alrighty, check in starts in 1 hour for a legendary summoners battle tonight. You can find the challonge here: https://challonge.com/dwevakbp. The steemmonsters account has 80 of these summoners so, I plan on doing at least 8 tournaments with them.
It also has a few GFL Summoners… I’ll have to think of what to do with those next week. Maybe a raffle…
There’s only 16 people or so signed up. So if you want an easy shot at some legendary summoners you’ll want to be there.
Tomorrow! Steem Alliance
at 1pm est, 1800 UTC I’m going to host a 1 hour radio show to start talking about proposal design stuff. The plan is to talk less about any specific ideas of the design itself and more to clarify some of what’s going on and some of the topics that have already been identified that should go into a good design.
 I haven’t bought them off the market, but that’s likely to happen tonight during this evening’s tournament.
Anyway, by 2pm it’s time to gather in the steem monsters tournament discord and we’ll be battling it out for a while there. Should be fun!

John AshcroftMuch like the Nazis in Casablanca, John Ashcroft enjoys a good song -- as long as people remember their place.Even before September 11, Attorney General John Ashcroft was a disaster waiting to happen. An evangelical fanatic with an agenda, Ashcroft was a man with a dream, or perhaps we should call it a vision, or perhaps it would be more accurately described as an undeniable mandate from God. After sitting Senator Ashcroft lost his seat to a dead man, Mel Carnahan -- the first time in history this has ever happened -- President George W Bush decided to elevate Ashcroft from his indignity. The collective cringe could be heard all across America, from women, gays, blacks, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, supporters of civil rights, doctors, people who enjoy having sex, Methodists... And if there's anything worse than an attorney general with an apocalyptic messiah complex, it's an attorney general with an apocalyptic messiah complex at a time when infidels have declared a holy war on America. And if there's anything worse than THAT... it would have to be an attorney general who writes inspiratational songs and forces his staff to sing them daily, an attorney general whose father anointed him in a messianic ritual when he took office, an attorney general who drafted the biggest rollback of individual rights in American history and is already planning a sequel... Jesus Loves Me... But I'm Not So Sure About YouUnderstanding John Ashcroft starts and probably ends with the Assembly of God, the evangelic Christian sect that spawned him. In his autobiography, Ashcroft said he woke every morning to a "magisterial wake-up call" of his preacher-father's noisy prayers.Among the Assembly of God's teachings: Homosexuality is evil and causes disease; Christians should not make friends with non-Christians; people should avoid all "sexually suggestive forms of media and entertainment"; speaking in tongues is a necessary component of salvation; Jesus isn't just coming, he's coming to take over the world; mixed-gender dancing leads to evil and should be avoided; and government and laws should be predicated on the teachings of the Christian bible. Some verbatim quotes from the Church's teachings include:
Principles in PracticeSure, you might argue that this sort of doctrinal dissection could be applied to just about any religious person in politics, and you'd be right.Except that unlike most politicians, Ashcroft fervently believes every word of it and is willing to put that belief ahead of political expediency. It's just our luck that the one principled politician in the history of the United States would have to have principles like these. "The source of freedom and human dignity is the Creator," Ashcroft testified to a Bible-thumping audience of religious broadcasters in February 2002. "The guarding of freedom that God grants is the noble charge of the Department of Justice." No, sir! You won't catch John Ashcroft getting blow jobs from interns in the cloakroom! You're much more likely to find him accepting mandates from God in the sort of ritual one associates with the Freemasons. Every time Ashcroft has stepped up to take a political office, he has been anointed with holy oil "in the manner of King David," as he specified in his autobiography. His father did the job during his terms as a Senator. On one occasion, the 24-hour quickie mart was out of holy oil, so Crisco was substituted at the last minute. When Ashcroft was selected to be Attorney General, reputed porno-purveyor Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did the honors. The religious significance of anointment (particularly in the context of King David) is a little broader than one would like -- the word "Messiah" means "anointed one" in Hebrew, based on Old Testament prophecies, and is also widely considered a signpost relevant to the second coming of Christ. Another of Ashcroft's highly principled acts involved a crackdown on public nudity. The bare-breasted lady in question was a statue of Justice. Ashcroft ordered curtains hung in the Justice Department's press room in order to remove the giant iron nipple which loomed so salaciously, enticingly, over his head. (Good thing Michelangelo's David wasn't looming back there. Sexual provocation and homoerotic subtext is a twofer in the Assembly of God...) Then there's the music (one of the few "fun" things allowed under Assembly precepts). While in Congress, Ashcroft took part in a barbershop quartet called "The Singing Senators," but his commitment to musical excellence didn't end there. In the post-September 11 environment, Ashcroft decided to inspire his Justice Department employees by starting each day with song. But such godless standards as the "Star Spangled Banner" just wouldn't suffice. Ashcroft wrote his own song, "Let the Eagle Soar," and forced his hapless subordinates to join him in a daily caterwaul of defiance to such outmoded concepts as "separation of church and state":
"Let the eagle soar, When interviewed by a British paper, an anonymous Justice Department lawyer summed up her objections to this cruel and unsusual practice thusly: "Have you heard the song? It really sucks."  The Attorney General is deadly serious about his job.When the conservative with a messiah complex took office, a lot of people were understandably concerned, based on his track record, that these would be dark years in such areas as abortion rights, gay rights, civil rights, affirmative action, anti-trust, environmental and corporate crime, and so on. Amazingly, Ashcroft managed to give us bigger problems to worry about. After 9/11, Ashcroft flew like a bat out of heaven to "repurpose" the Justice Department for what he perceived as a new and excitingly apocalyptic reality. Ashcroft's enthusiasm couldn't be contained. He was so eager to start his crusade that he didn't even bother to consult with his boss before making the announcement. "Defending our nation and defending the citizens of America against terrorist attacks is now our first and overriding priority," Ashcroft said in early November 2001, as he laid out his plan to reorganize the department for the voracious Washington press corps. The new Justice Department would no longer bother with such trivial tasks as enforcing and interpreting federal law, ensuring the rights of citizens, protecting consumers and keeping rein over big business. Terrorism was now Job One, and Jobs Two through Eleven as well. A couple days later, CNN's Larry King asked Ashcroft whether he had discussed this sweeping reorganization plan with Bush before announcing it. Whoops! Ashcroft carefully explained that Bush "noted" the announcement after the fact. "I don't want to say that the president and I have conferred about every aspect of this," he said. And really, why would the president want to micromanage a little project like a total re-invention of America's federal justice system? He's a busy man! PATRIOT GamesAshcroft's greatest -- uh, let's go with "highest profile" -- accomplishment to date was the rolling back of individual rights by several decades, under the guise of fighting terrorism.The provisions of the PATRIOT Act taken as a whole are enough to make civil libertarians scream; the average citizen can usually find at least one provision worthy of alarm. Sponsored by the Bush administration, the PATRIOT act gave sweeping new powers to Ashcroft and his department, including:
Ashcroft has yet to even convict "20th hijacker" and raving lunatic Zacarias Moussaoui, who is representing himself. Moussaoui's court filings, handwritten on legal paper, tend to run along such lines as "Ashcroft must be sent to Alexandria jail so I can torture him. After all torture is now part of the American way of life," complaints about his lack of Internet access and requests to travel abroad in search of evidence which will exonerate him. Moussaoui's trial has been indefinitely postponed because the defendent called witnesses who are currently being held incommunicado and without charge by the federal government, which doesn't want to cough them up. John Ashcroft may be one hell of a singer, but he's been legally outmanuevered by a madman with virtually no knowledge of the U.S. justice system -- even as Ashcroft is angling to ask for an incease in his already unprecedented power to subvert due process and constitutional protections. What's wrong with this picture?

Shereef's metaphor of the restaurant and the kitchen resonated with me, and I think it's an astute one. I've had the same realization myself in my past educational experiences, and I think it's true of most things in life that you get out what you put in.
As a concrete random thinker and a kinesthetic learner it seems like I'm in the right place. Learning by doing and taking charge of your own experience both go well with how I operate.
I'm glad DBC has its own intentional culture. I think that's definitely important if you want everyone involved to be successful and I'm glad it's so well thought through. The social and community aspect of learning is really why I'm here and why I'm not trying to teach myself everything on my own.
I'm both nervous and excited for Phase 1 to begin, which I'm sure is normal and expected. I am coming from a background of zero coding experience so I know I have a lot to learn, but at least I'm confident I'm in the right place :)
