Congratulations on reaching the final project of the Robotics Nanodegree!
Previously, you worked on the Semantic Segmentation lab where you built a deep learning network that locates a particular human target within an image. For this project, you will utilize what you implemented and learned from that lab and extend it to train a deep learning model that will allow a simulated quadcopter to follow around the person that it detects!
Most of the code below is similar to the lab with some minor modifications. You can start with your existing solution, and modify and improve upon it to train the best possible model for this task.
You can click on any of the following to quickly jump to that part of this notebook:
We have provided you with a starting dataset for this project. Download instructions can be found in the README for this project's repo. Alternatively, you can collect additional data of your own to improve your model. Check out the "Collecting Data" section in the Project Lesson in the Classroom for more details!

In the Classroom, we discussed the different layers that constitute a fully convolutional network (FCN). The following code will introduce you to the functions that you need to build your semantic segmentation model.
The Encoder for your FCN will essentially require separable convolution layers, due to their advantages as explained in the classroom. The 1x1 convolution layer in the FCN, however, is a regular convolution. Implementations for both are provided below for your use. Each includes batch normalization with the ReLU activation function applied to the layers.
def separable_conv2d_batchnorm(input_layer, filters, strides=1):
output_layer = SeparableConv2DKeras(filters=filters,kernel_size=3, strides=strides,
padding='same', activation='relu')(input_layer)
output_layer = layers.BatchNormalization()(output_layer)
return output_layer
def conv2d_batchnorm(input_layer, filters, kernel_size=3, strides=1):
output_layer = layers.Conv2D(filters=filters, kernel_size=kernel_size, strides=strides,
padding='same', activation='relu')(input_layer)
output_layer = layers.BatchNormalization()(output_layer)
return output_layer
The following helper function implements the bilinear upsampling layer. Upsampling by a factor of 2 is generally recommended, but you can try out different factors as well. Upsampling is used in the decoder block of the FCN.
def bilinear_upsample(input_layer):
output_layer = BilinearUpSampling2D((2,2))(input_layer)
return output_layer
In the following cells, you will build an FCN to train a model to detect and locate the hero target within an image. The steps are:
encoder_block
decoder_block
Create an encoder block that includes a separable convolution layer using the separable_conv2d_batchnorm()
function. The filters
parameter defines the size or depth of the output layer. For example, 32 or 64.
def encoder_block(input_layer, filters, strides):
# TODO Create a separable convolution layer using the separable_conv2d_batchnorm() function.
output_layer = separable_conv2d_batchnorm(input_layer,filters)
output_layer = separable_conv2d_batchnorm(output_layer,filters)
output_layer = separable_conv2d_batchnorm(output_layer,filters,strides)
return output_layer
The decoder block is comprised of three parts:
def decoder_block(small_ip_layer, large_ip_layer, filters):
# TODO Upsample the small input layer using the bilinear_upsample() function.
output_layer = bilinear_upsample(small_ip_layer)
# TODO Concatenate the upsampled and large input layers using layers.concatenate
output_layer = layers.concatenate([output_layer, large_ip_layer])
# TODO Add some number of separable convolution layers
output_layer = separable_conv2d_batchnorm(output_layer,filters)
output_layer = separable_conv2d_batchnorm(output_layer,filters)
return output_layer
Now that you have the encoder and decoder blocks ready, go ahead and build your FCN architecture!
There are three steps:
def fcn_model(inputs, num_classes):
# TODO Add Encoder Blocks.
# Remember that with each encoder layer, the depth of your model (the number of filters) increases.
encode1 = encoder_block(inputs, filters = 32, strides = 2)
encode2 = encoder_block(encode1, filters = 32, strides = 2)
encode3 = encoder_block(encode2, filters = 32, strides = 2)
encode4 = encoder_block(encode3, filters = 32, strides = 2)
# TODO Add 1x1 Convolution layer using conv2d_batchnorm().
conv1 = conv2d_batchnorm(encode4, filters = 32, kernel_size = 1, strides = 1)
# TODO: Add the same number of Decoder Blocks as the number of Encoder Blocks
decode1 = decoder_block(small_ip_layer = conv1 , large_ip_layer = encode3, filters = 32)
decode2 = decoder_block(small_ip_layer = decode1, large_ip_layer = encode2, filters = 32)
decode3 = decoder_block(small_ip_layer = decode2, large_ip_layer = encode1, filters = 32)
x = decoder_block(small_ip_layer = decode3, large_ip_layer = inputs, filters = 32)
# The function returns the output layer of your model. "x" is the final layer obtained from the last decoder_block()
return layers.Conv2D(num_classes, 1, activation='softmax', padding='same')(x)
The following cells will use the FCN you created and define an ouput layer based on the size of the processed image and the number of classes recognized. You will define the hyperparameters to compile and train your model.
Please Note: For this project, the helper code in data_iterator.py
will resize the copter images to 160x160x3 to speed up training.

weight_file_name = 'model_weights_thomas_hatting.h5'
model_tools.save_network(model, weight_file_name)
Now that you have your model trained and saved, you can make predictions on your validation dataset. These predictions can be compared to the mask images, which are the ground truth labels, to evaluate how well your model is doing under different conditions.
There are three different predictions available from the helper code provided:
# If you need to load a model which you previously trained you can uncomment the codeline that calls the function below.
#weight_file_name = 'model_weights'
#restored_model = model_tools.load_network(weight_file_name)
The following cell will write predictions to files and return paths to the appropriate directories.
The run_num
parameter is used to define or group all the data for a particular model run. You can change it for different runs. For example, 'run_1', 'run_2' etc.
run_num = 'run_53'
val_with_targ, pred_with_targ = model_tools.write_predictions_grade_set(model,
run_num,'patrol_with_targ', 'sample_evaluation_data')
val_no_targ, pred_no_targ = model_tools.write_predictions_grade_set(model,
run_num,'patrol_non_targ', 'sample_evaluation_data')
val_following, pred_following = model_tools.write_predictions_grade_set(model,
run_num,'following_images', 'sample_evaluation_data')
Now lets look at your predictions, and compare them to the ground truth labels and original images. Run each of the following cells to visualize some sample images from the predictions in the validation set.
# images while following the target
im_files = plotting_tools.get_im_file_sample('sample_evaluation_data','following_images', run_num)
for i in range(3):
im_tuple = plotting_tools.load_images(im_files[i])
plotting_tools.show_images(im_tuple)
# images while at patrol without target
im_files = plotting_tools.get_im_file_sample('sample_evaluation_data','patrol_non_targ', run_num)
for i in range(3):

plotting_tools.show_images(im_tuple)
# images while at patrol with target

for i in range(3):
im_tuple = plotting_tools.load_images(im_files[i])
plotting_tools.show_images(im_tuple)
Evaluate your model! The following cells include several different scores to help you evaluate your model under the different conditions discussed during the Prediction step.
# Scores for while the quad is following behind the target.
true_pos1, false_pos1, false_neg1, iou1 = scoring_utils.score_run_iou(val_following, pred_following)
# Scores for images while the quad is on patrol and the target is not visable
true_pos2, false_pos2, false_neg2, iou2 = scoring_utils.score_run_iou(val_no_targ, pred_no_targ)
# This score measures how well the neural network can detect the target from far away
true_pos3, false_pos3, false_neg3, iou3 = scoring_utils.score_run_iou(val_with_targ, pred_with_targ)
# Sum all the true positives, etc from the three datasets to get a weight for the score
true_pos = true_pos1 + true_pos2 + true_pos3
false_pos = false_pos1 + false_pos2 + false_pos3
false_neg = false_neg1 + false_neg2 + false_neg3
weight = true_pos/(true_pos+false_neg+false_pos)
print(weight)
# The IoU for the dataset that never includes the hero is excluded from grading
final_IoU = (iou1 + iou3)/2
print(final_IoU)
# And the final grade score is
final_score = final_IoU * weight
print(final_score)

base: additional providers for Puppet base types
This module provides additional providers for Puppet base types using the Augeas configuration library.
The advantage of using Augeas over the default Puppet parsedfile
implementations is that Augeas will go to great lengths to preserve file
formatting and comments, while also failing safely when needed.
This provider will hide all of the Augeas commands etc., you don't need to know anything about Augeas to make use of it.
Requirements
Ensure both Augeas and ruby-augeas 0.3.0+ bindings are installed and working as normal.
See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.
Installing
On Puppet 2.7.14+, the module can be installed easily (documentation):
puppet module install herculesteam/augeasproviders_base
Compatibility
Puppet versions
Minimum of Puppet 2.7.

EU links Libyan government to human trafficking
by EUobserverThe EU and UN-backed Libyan government in Tripoli has turned refugees' misery into a "profitable business model", according to a leaked report by the EU Council presidency, Finland, seen by British newspaper The Guardian. The more than 5,000 people held in Libya camps were victims of "human trafficking" and "serious cases of corruption and bribery", the report said, amid joint EU operations with Libyan authorities to halt Europe-bound migrants.

He had uncontrollable fits of laughter. That turned out to be a key symptom.
by HNN StaffHONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Uncontrollable and extended bouts of laughter as a symptom sound, well, a little funny. But to a Hawaii man who’d struggled with it for years, it was anything but.
The curious medical case was presented to residents studying at the UH-Manoa John A. Burns School of Medicine, who wrote about the patient in the Hawaii Journal of Medicine and Social Welfare.
They said they determined that the laughter was actually a gelastic seizure, a rare form of epilepsy.
“They are highly associated with abnormal cognitive development and behavioral problems in patients,” the physician trainees wrote.
The man started suffering from the laughing fits when he was 8, and they’d occur two to three times a week. The patient also had a history of a brain tumor, diabetes and schizophrenia.
With medication, the laughing fits ― which some assumed were a behavioral issue ― were brought under control.
Nina Leialoha Beckwith, a family medicine resident at JABSOM who worked on the case with fellow trainees under the supervision of Dr. Kore Kai Liow, called the case “medically intriguing.” “Prior to this case, I didn’t know seizures could manifest in such a way as uncontrollable laughter.” she said.

CApp Module
The CApp Module
The application starts with instantiation of the application object, which in the AppTemplate object theApp. The AppTemplate is defined as:
class AppTemplate : public CApp {...}
Windows likes its applications to identify themselves so CApp's constructor does just that. It gets the pieces from the resource (i.e. AppTemplate.rc) strings. It also enables the htm help capability.
The object, theApp, is available everywhere in the program (even some parts of the library through CApp) so the following capabilities are included in CApp:
- Setting the application name and current window name in the top border bar
- Retrieving a pointer to the document and view objects
- Retrieving the orientation of the printed output (apparently it is located in the application data)
- invalidating the window which forces the window to be redrawn
Invalidating the window is the way that displaying new data is started. Nothing happens when outputting until the window is invalidated. More later...


Convoluted process could be:
- separate RST out into files per atom (right now they are in pages)
- for each file: use pandoc to change RST to MD
- for each Udacity course, for each lesson:
- build a course X, lesson Y HTML file
- for each atom
- containing a large list with a around each markdown snippet
- one list item (with padding items) for each atom
- git commit CourseX-LessonY.html and push
- importHTML in Google sheet:course2, Column E1?
- example: =IMPORTHTML("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlavi/calmbootcamp/master/udacity/snippet3.html", "list", 1)
- If we change any RST, rebuild and commit the HTML to git
- Google sheet:courseX, refresh the importHTML execution
- willk: you can update existing atoms in Coco by reingesting content from the google docs

Therefore some features are missing, if you need these features please use the static version. Currently the list of features only supported with patch QT includes: * Printing more then one HTML document into a PDF file. * Running without an X11 server. * Adding a document outline to the PDF file. * Adding headers and footers to the PDF file. * Generating a table of contents. * Adding links in the generated PDF file. * Printing using the screen media-type. * Disabling the smart shrink feature of webkit. Page sizes The default page size of the rendered document is A4, but using this --page-size optionthis can be changed to almost anything else, such as: A3, Letter and Legal. For a full list of supported pages sizes please see <http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qprinter.html#PageSize-enum>. For a more fine grained control over the page size the --page-height and --page-width options may be used Reading arguments from stdin If you need to convert a lot of pages in a batch, and you feel that wkhtmltopdf is a bit to slow to start up, then you should try --read-args-from-stdin, When --read-args-from-stdin each line of input sent to wkhtmltopdf on stdin will act as a separate invocation of wkhtmltopdf, with the argu‐ ments specified on the given line combined with the arguments given to wkhtmltopdf For example one could do the following: echo "http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qapplication.html qapplication.pdf" >> cmds echo "--cover google.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(toolkit) qt.pdf" >> cmds wkhtmltopdf --read-args-from-stdin --book < cmds Page Breaking The current page breaking algorithm of WebKit leaves much to be desired. Basically webkit will render everything into one long page, and then cut it up into pages. This means that if you have two columns of text where one is vertically shifted by half a line. Then webkit will cut a line into to pieces display the top half on one page. And the bottom half on another page. It will also break image in two and so on. If you are using the patched version of QT you can use the CSS page-break-inside property to remedy this somewhat. There is no easy solution to this prob‐ lem, until this is solved try organising your HTML documents such that it contains many lines on which pages can be cut cleanly.

Brian Baker is running for Athens Township Trustee for the third time in the Nov. 7 elections and this time, he wants to maintain the township’s activities at no extra cost to residents.
During his engineering career, he worked at TS Trim Industries Inc., an automobile parts manufacturing plant, before joining the Athens County Engineer’s Office in 2004.
“I’m telling you, I’ve never seen something so organized and thought-out as that type of work. ... And I took that with me to the county, and then from the county, this is where I’m at now,” he said. “It’s just interesting to try to make things work.”
When Baker started at the county level, he traveled around to the different townships. He said he saw things he thought he could improve at the township level, ranging from snow removal to maintenance of bridges and roads.
“I treat everybody like they’re my family. You want to treat your family the best you can and give them everything they can handle and deserve, and that’s how I treat the residents of Athens Township."– Brian Baker
“The township has a much smaller scale (than the county),” Baker said. “I saw where they were struggling with some things and thought I could bring that from the county to the township.”
Baker worked in the county for three years before attending his first township trustee meeting. He ran for a trustee position and lost in 2012, but he continued going to meetings.
“I was interested in how the money was spent and how things work,” he said. “Even if I’m not in, I want to know where tax dollars are going.”
A trustee retired with time left in his term, and Baker was appointed. Since then, his goal has been to provide residents with the same level of service without extra cost.
Baker said since the state cut a tax that went toward the township, trustees will be “fighting for funding” because the cost of maintaining the township is expensive, he said. For example, the township buys road salt at $50 to $100 per ton and goes through 600 tons during the winter.
Baker said people don’t realize how quickly trustees have to spend large amounts of money to maintain the township.
“I want the same service that the people expect to continue, so we’re going to have to do more basically with less, so my focus is to keep what the citizens want and expect at no extra cost, because I don’t wanna add a tax levy,” he said. “I don’t want to do those types of things.”
Baker said other candidates are suggesting that the township should do more, but he thinks those goals are not necessary or feasible, including the addition of bike lanes and a police force in The Plains. Baker said “not one” of the roads in the township are wide enough or safe enough for bike lanes and Athens County Sheriff’s deputies are in The Plains “all the time,” and he thinks people are happy with what they do.
“If the people came to me and said, ‘I want our own police force,’ that’s something we’re going to look into — but they’re also going to pay for it,” he said.
Additionally, Baker said he cares about the people in the township and wants to continue to serve.
“I treat everybody like they’re my family. You want to treat your family the best you can and give them everything they can handle and deserve, and that’s how I treat the residents of Athens Township,” Baker said. “I treat it like my kids are going to drive that road every day.”
Baker is one of three candidates for Athens Township Trustee and is running against Eddie Smith and Steven H. Pierson.

Medicines and medical devices are regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). MHRA plays a leading role in protecting and improving public health and supports innovation through scientific research and development.
{{ contentsList({ items: [ { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence", text: "Evidence overview", current: "true" }, { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence/medicines", text: "Medicines" }, { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence/devices", text: "Medical devices" }, { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence/diagnostics", text: "Diagnostics tests" }, { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence/digital", text: "Digital health technologies" }, { href: "/htc/innovators/evidence/other", text: "Other types of innovation" } ] }) }}For a product or service (including medicinal products, medical devices, diagnostic tests, digital health technologies, non-clinical services, models of care, surgical procedures) to be adopted within the NHS, innovators must provide evidence to support their value proposition.
To satisfy regulatory requirements in the UK, innovators must provide evidence of efficacy and safety of their product through any relevant framework. More information about the regulations that apply to different types of innovation can be found in the Regulations section.
Decision makers in the NHS, including NICE and clinical commissioning groups, require an understanding of interventions in the context of alternative care (comparative effectiveness). The evaluation of comparative effectiveness requires quantification of the effect of the technology being assessed and of the relevant comparator technologies representing standard of care in the NHS.
NICE’s different evaluation programmes have different evidence requirements for showing clinical and cost-effectiveness. Evidence can include anything from systematic reviews and meta-analyses to case studies. Furthermore, NICE has published a statement of intent on the Use of Broader Data in Guidance Development. The robustness of the evidence provided will be considered by the relevant decision-makers.
Further information on what type of evidence is needed to support your value proposition can be sought from NICE Scientific Advice.
Decision makers in the NHS, including NICE and clinical commissioning groups have to make decisions with a focus on maximising health gains in the context of a fixed NHS budget. Therefore, an economic evaluation is needed to assess the economic impact of adopting healthcare interventions (that is, to compare the costs and benefits of a healthcare intervention to assess its value for money for the NHS).

Through the Global Learning X Prize competition, teams from around the globe try to develop open-source solutions that will help the estimated 250 illion kids worldwide who are unable to read, write, or complete basic math functions. Marcus Shingles, CEO of the X Prize Foundation
created with
Nicepage .


Note that the host application may add types specific to that application, refer to the application's manual for more information.
void
is not really a data type, more like lack of data type. It can only be used to tell the compiler that a function doesn't return any data.
bool
is a boolean type with only two
possible values: true
or
false
. The keywords
true
and
false
are constants of type
bool
that can be used as such in
expressions.
int64
holds integer values in the range -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
int
holds integer values in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
int16
holds integer values in the range -32,768 to 32,767.
int8
holds integer values in the range -128 to 128.
As the scripting engine has been optimized for 32 bit datatypes, using the smaller variants is only recommended for accessing application specified variables. For local variables it is better to use the 32 bit variant.
int32
is an alias for int
.
uint64
holds integer values in the range 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.
uint
holds integer values in the range 0 to 4,294,967,295.
uint16
holds integer values in the range 0 to 65,535.
uint8
holds integer values in the range 0 to 255.
As the scripting engine has been optimized for 32 bit datatypes, using the smaller variants is only recommended for accessing application specified variables. For local variables it is better to use the 32 bit variant.
uint32
is an alias for uint
.
float
holds real (or floating point) values in the range -/+3.402823466e38.
The smallest possible positive number that a float can destinguish is: 1.175494351e-38. The maximum number of decimal digits that can be safely used is 6, i.e. if more digits are used they are prone to rounding errors during operations.
Curiousity: Floats may also have the additional values of positive and negative 0 or infinite, and NaN (Not-a-Number). NaN is represented by the 32 bit data word 0x7fc00000.
double
holds real (or floating point) values in the range -/+1.7976931348623158e+308.
The smallest possible positive number that a double can destinguish is: 2.2250738585072014e-308. The maximum number of decimal digits that can be safely used is 15, i.e. if more digits are used they are prone to rounding errors during operations.
Curiousity: Doubles may also have the additional values of positive and negative 0 or infinite, and NaN (Not-a-Number).
It is also possible to declare array variables by appending the [] brackets to the type.
When declaring a variable with a type modifier, the type modifier affects the type of all variables in the list. Example:
int[] a, b, c;
a
, b
, and c
are now arrays of integers.
When declaring arrays it is possible to define the initial size of the array by passing the length as a parameter to the constructor. The elements can also be individually initialized by specifying an initialization list. Example:
int[] a; // A zero-length array of integers int[] b(3); // An array of integers with 3 elements int[] c = {,3,4,}; // An array of integers with 4 elements, where // the second and third elements are initialized
Each element in the array is accessed with the indexing operator. The indices are zero based, i.e the range of valid indices are from 0 to length - 1.
a[0] = some_value;
An array also have two methods. length() allow you to determine how many elements are in the array, and resize() lets you resize the array.
Object handles are a special type that can be used to hold references to other objects. When calling methods or accessing properties on a variable that is an object handle you will be accessing the actual object that the handle references, just as if it was an alias. Note that unless initialized with the handle of an object, the handle is null
.
obj o; obj@ a; // a is initialized to null obj@ b = @o; // b holds a reference to o b.ModifyMe(); // The method modifies the original object if( @a == null ) // Verify if the object points to an object { @a = @b; // Make a hold a reference to the same object as b }
Not all types allow a handle to be taken. Neither of the primitive types can have handles, and there may exist some object types that do not allow handles. Which objects allow handles or not, are up to the application that registers them.
Object handle and array type modifiers can be combined to form handles to arrays, or arrays of handles, etc.
Strings are a special type of data that can be used only if the application registers support for them. They hold an array of bytes. The only limit to how large this array can be is the memory available on the computer.
There are two types of string constants supported in the AngelScript language, the normal double quoted string, and the documentation strings, called heredoc strings.
The normal strings are written between double quotation marks ("
).
Inside the constant strings some escape sequences can be used to write exact
byte values that might not be possible to write in your normal editor.
| sequence | value | description |
\0 |
0 | null character |
\\ |
92 | back-slash |
\" |
34 | double quotation mark |
\n |
10 | new line feed |
\r |
13 | carriage return |
\t |
9 | tab character |
\xFF |
0xFF | FF should be exchanged for the hexadecimal number representing the byte value wanted |
string str = "This is a string with \"escape sequences\".";
The heredoc strings are designed for inclusion of large portions of text
without processing of escape sequences. A heredoc string is surrounded by
triple double-quotation marks ("""
), and can span multiple lines
of code. If the characters following the start of the string until the first
linebreak only contains white space, it is automatically removed by the
compiler. Likewise if the characters following the last line break until the
end of the string only contains white space this is also remove, including the
linebreak.
string str = """ This is some text without "escape sequences". This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. """;
If more than one string constants are written in sequence with only whitespace or comments between them the compiler will concatenate them into one constant.
string str = "First line.\n" "Second line.\n" "Third line.\n";

Take A Daytrip – “Lighthouse” (Feat. Rico Nasty, Slowthai, & ICECOLDBISHOP)
by James RettigProduction duo Take A Daytrip — made up of David Biral and Denzel Baptiste — have released a new song called “Lighthouse,” which sadly is not a theme song for the horror movie The Lighthouse. But the song does boast verses from Rico Nasty, Slowthai, and the LA rapper ICECOLDBISHOP, so that’s a plus.
It’s taken from a new project called Take A Daytrip vs. London, which will include previously released tracks with Octavian and the Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford.
Listen to it below.


ctypes Wrapper Generation¶
The following modules in pyglet are entirely (or mostly) generated from one or more C header files:
- pyglet.gl.agl
- pyglet.gl.gl
- pyglet.gl.glext_abi
- pyglet.gl.glext_nv
- pyglet.gl.glu
- pyglet.gl.glx
- pyglet.gl.glxext_abi
- pyglet.gl.glxext_nv
- pyglet.gl.wgl
- pyglet.gl.wglext_abi
- pyglet.gl.wglext_nv
- pyglet.window.xlib.xlib
- pyglet.window.xlib.xinerama
The wrapping framework is in tools/wraptypes, and pyglet-specialised batch scripts are tools/genwrappers.py (generates xlib wrappers) and tools/gengl.py (generates gl wrappers).
Generating GL wrappers¶
This process needs to be followed when the wraptypes is updated, the header files are updated (e.g., a new release of the operating system), or the GL extensions are updated. Each file can only be generated a a specific platform.
Before beginning, remove the file tools/.gengl.cache if it exists. This merely caches header files so they don’t need to be repeatedly downloaded (but you’d prefer to use the most recent uncached copies if you’re reading this, presumably).
On Linux, generate pyglet.gl.gl, pyglet.gl.glext_abi, pyglet.gl.glext_nv and pyglet.gl.glu (the complete user-visible GL package):
python tools/gengl.py gl glext_abi glext_nv glu
The header files for pyglet.gl.gl and pyglet.gl.glu are located in /usr/include/GL. Ensure your Linux distribution has recent versions of these files (unfortunately they do not seem to be accessible outside of a distribution or OS).
The header files for pyglet.glext_abi and pyglet.glext_nv are downloaded from http://www.opengl.org and http://developer.nvidia.com, respectively.
On Linux still, generate pyglet.gl.glx, pyglet.gl.glxext_abi and pyglet.gl.glxext_nv:
python tools/gengl.py glx glxext_abi glxext_nv
The header file for pyglet.gl.glx is in /usr/include/GL, and is expected to depend on X11 header files from /usr/include/X11. glext_abi and glext_nv header files are downloaded from the above websites.
On OS X, generate pyglet.gl.agl:
python tools/gengl.py agl
Watch a movie while you wait – it uses virtually every header file on the system. Expect to see one syntax error in PictUtils.h line 67, it is unimportant.
On Windows XP, generate pyglet.gl.wgl, pyglet.gl.wglext_abi and pyglet.gl.wglext_nv:
python tools/gengl.py wgl wglext_abi wglext_nv
You do not need to have a development environment installed on Windows. pyglet.gl.wgl is generated from tools/wgl.h, which is a hand-coded header file containing the prototypes and constants for WGL and its dependencies. In a real development environment you would find these mostly in WinGDI.h, but wraptypes is not quite sophisticated enough to parse Windows system headers (see below for what needs implementing). It is extremely unlikely this header will ever need to change (excepting a bug fix).
The headers for pyglet.gl.wglext_abi and pyglet.gl.wglext_nv are downloaded from the same websites as for GL and GLX.
Generated GL wrappers¶
Each generated file contains a pair of markers # BEGIN GENERATED CONTENT and # END GENERATED CONTENT which are searched for when replacing the file. If either marker is missing or corrupt, the file will not be modified. This allows for custom content around the generated content. Only glx.py makes use of this, to include some additional enumerators that are not generated by default.
If a generating process is interrupted (either you get sick of it, or it crashes), it will leave a partially-complete file written, which will not include both markers. It is up to you to restore the file or otherwise reinsert the markers.
Generating Xlib wrappers¶
On Linux with the Xinerama extension installed (doesn’t have to be in use, just available), run:
python tools/genwrappers.py
This generates pyglet.window.xlib.xlib and pyglet.window.xlib.xinerama.
Note that this process, as well as the generated modules, depend on pyglet.gl.glx. So, you should always run this after the above GL generation.

VARSITY BLUES (1999)
A Film Review by Ted Prigge
Copyright 1999 Ted Prigge
Director: Brian Robbins
Writer: W. Peter Iliff
Starring: James Van Der Beek, Jon Voigt, Paul Walker, Ron Lester, Scott Caan, Richard Lineback, Ali Larter, Amy Smart, Eliel Swinton, Thomas F. Duffy, Jll Parker Jones, Joe Pichler, Tonie Perensky
The plot, structure, and even many of the jokes of "Varsity Blues" hail all the way back to 80s teen movies and sports movies spanning the entire length of cinematic history: it's part team tries to win despite adversity, part teenagers trying to overcome pressure from adult would-be role models. I've seen this way too many times before, as you probably have as well if you grew up in the heyday of the 80s, viewing films by John Hughes on a bi-weekly basis and intaking sports molds like "Major League," like I did, a time I know I at least have numerous regrets about. But every now and then, I almost get suckered into liking a formulaic film like this, for whatever reason that is. "Varsity Blues," in particular, has a freshness I can't quite figure out. It's not exactly about either being a downtrodden teen or a sports team trying to succeed, and because it's not really much of anything may be what's so nice about it. There's not a ton of bad jokes, the more sentimental moments (the oft-joked-about "I don't want your life" scene) don't feel absolutely wretched, and the lead role is played by an actor who, while probably never capable of an Ian McKellen-like performance (just to name one superb thespian), is really likable, if not really quite good. Hell, even the cinematography is nice, accenting the blues of the football jerseys nicely.
And instead of being completely off-put with this film, as I was with a couple teen-targeted flicks of late ("Can't Hardly Wait" and "Disturbing Behavior," just to name two that made my worst-of-98 list), I was instead mildly pleased. The story, about a southern town that is devoutly married to high-school football, is yes, a little lame (it's blatantly borrowed from an undertone in "The Last Picture Show"), and even occasionally mishandled to ridiculous proportions (I just can't believe they actually had football coach Jon Voigt hold his hand up in a Hitler-esque heil, not once, but thrice). And the story of John Moxon, the film's protagonist, and his battle with not wanting to play football past high school though showing an extraordinary talent for it at the time (and becoming the star quarterback when the original quarterback suffers an injury), is at the very least tiresome and unfelt, but it's only so in theory, as is the rest of this film's entities. This film really should be a crap film that makes a minute impact on the box office then goes off to Comedy Central Mid-day Hell, but it has so many slightly positive aspects to it that I just couldn't help but be enjoying myself for at least some of it.
For just one example, the resident fat-guy subplot, usually the weak link of a film like this, is handled with a surprising amount of compassion. The said character (played by Ron Lester) is occasionally the subject of lame weight ridicule, but is later actually developed as a character, and in a scene late in the film where he sits in a depressed state with hard liquor and a shotgun actually has some feeling behind it. Even the lead character has development: instead of resorting to the stardom gimmick that this film almost goes for, it allows him to deal with these emotions himself, and when his current girlfriend nearly gives up on him, he wrestles with turning to the cliche and sleeping with the girlfriend of a friend/ex-quarterback who has been making none-too-subtle advances towards him. It's not Shakespeare, or even Neil Simon, but it shows that maybe there will be a teenage film that actually delves into the emotions of its characters in an intelligent fashion someday.
Even James Van Der Beek's performance shows something of a future promise. Currently the star of the heavily-discussed "Dawson' Creek," he puts not only some depth into his character, but perhaps more importantly for this kind of movie, a lot of charisma. He's good at making otherwise cheap emotions into genuine ones, and he's completely at-ease in front of a camera, and he defines his character so well that he nearly makes the film work just by being completely sympathetic. There are many a thing to like about this film to those who are willing to abandon any dramatic credibility at the door, but then again, this isn't THAT good. For all that I liked about it, there's still the many things I didn't like about it. Voigt, for one, though good, is saddled with a character that the film isn't sure what to do with. I guess he's a villain, but if so, what gives with the start-and-stop attempts to deepen his character (a saddened scene where he's looking over trophies, symbolizing his past successes and his frustration with the present) when the proverbial rug will be pulled from underneath anyway? Same goes with his father, who is at once shown as a hard-ruling father, ordering his son to do his will, then other times as a poor old guy who can't get any respect, not from his friends or his son (who ends up pegging him in the nose with a football, a scene of such conflicting emotions that the film isn't prepared to deal with it).
Just add to the pot the extreme fake-ness of several of the situations, the use of half-assed small-town and high school football satire, and a couple other major detractors, and this film does not exactly get a sure-fire recommendation for your's truly. It's more of a mixed bag of a film, with parts I did like and parts I didn't like, but nothing I was totally enthused about. But, as I said, it does have promise for future movies, especially with the success of the film at the boxoffice, which has been nothing short of stunning (especially for a film boasting a member of the "Dawson's Creek" gang, a show I admit to watching a couple time and admit to actually enjoying). Maybe it's the R-rating that helps this film: it's more loose-necked, less-fake, and occasionally funnier (a subplot involving a stripping teacher is not exactly good, but it's amusing). I'd like to see a teen film that managed to take what was good about this film and then expanded on it. Imagine a teen film you weren't ashamed to say that you at least sorta liked, but actually liked. And maybe it should star Van Der Beek. Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

PULP FICTION [Spoilers] A film review by Jules N. Binoculas Copyright 1994 Jules N. Binoculas
No doubt many will say that PULP FICTION is one of the year's greatest films--how many will say it's one of cinematic history's most offensive? How many have the guts?

 Nor is offensive because the film's director himself appears in an extended cameo to remind his two lead actors that his house is "not a dead nigger storage" facility.
Don't get the wrong idea; these are the film's strengths!
When 19th Century British iconoclast and literary prankster, Oscar Wilde was testifying in his own defense for writing offensive literature--he was asked, "Mr. Wilde, do you feel that work was immoral?," he answered, "It was worse than that. It was badly written."
PULP FICTION is not offensive because it tries to be cute.  Call it what you will, but call it "baaad!"
It's probably good manners for your humble reviwer to summarize the plot of this warped and anaemic ego-trip:
A black hitman and a white hitman murder three Causcasian burger-eating adolescents living in a cheesy la-apartment (one of whom bears a frightening resemblance to an uncredited Jerry Seinfeld (believe it or not).
They take a black hostage because the black assassin feels that, although they were shot at close range by the Seinfeld-look-alike, the bullets miraculously only put holes in the wall behind them because God intervened to save their candy a*ses.

Next, they visit Quentin Tarantino, playing a Caucasian suburban Southern California husband married to an African-American nurse who's due home any minute, and would be deeply offended to see a "dead nigger stored in the garage."
To make a 2-hour-and-44-minute story shorter:
Harvey Keitel shows up in black tie and tuxedo to order the hitmen to put the corpse in the trunk, and clean the car to remove blood and "small pieces of brain and skull" with household disinfectants.
During all the unfolding excitement, the white hitman finds time to take his (black) boss's white wife out dancing in a 50's retro drive-in juke joint before she overdoses but survives after heroic medical instructions from Travolta's neurotic (white) drug dealer.

There's probably another subplot, but you get the idea.
Here's the big secret: QT is way over his head! The film is an (amazingly) sometimes humorous non-stop rip-off of every 20th Century media cliche imaginable--complete with no context, no soul, no pacing, no proportion, and no ideas!
Be sure to see it--if you want to encourage independent filmmakers to continue their anal-ysis of modern culture!
Rating: **** (4 assholes)
(Making this film was obviously a ploy to drive up the price of silver used in all the release prints/)
Final recommendation: Hand over your $ and enjoy making others rich!

Using Gradle
In order to build Kotlin with Gradle you should set up the kotlin-gradle plugin, apply it to your project and add kotlin-stdlib dependencies. Those actions may also be performed automatically in IntelliJ IDEA by invoking the Tools | Kotlin | Configure Kotlin in Project action.
Plugin and Versions
The kotlin-gradle-plugin
compiles Kotlin sources and modules.
The version of Kotlin to use is usually defined as the kotlin_version
property:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.60'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
This is not required when using Kotlin Gradle plugin 1.1.1 and above with the Gradle plugins DSL, and with Gradle Kotlin DSL.
Targeting the JVM
To target the JVM, the Kotlin plugin needs to be applied:
apply plugin: "kotlin"
Or, starting with Kotlin 1.1.1, the plugin can be applied using the Gradle plugins DSL:
plugins {
id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm" version "1.2.60"
}
The version
should be literal in this block, and it cannot be applied from another build script.
With Gradle Kotlin DSL, apply the plugin as follows:
plugins {
kotlin("jvm") version "1.2.60"
}
Kotlin sources can be mixed with Java sources in the same folder, or in different folders. The default convention is using different folders:
project
- src
- main (root)
- kotlin
- java
The corresponding sourceSets property should be updated if not using the default convention:
sourceSets {
main.kotlin.srcDirs += 'src/main/myKotlin'
main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/myJava'
}
With Gradle Kotlin DSL, configure source sets with java.sourceSets { ... }
instead.
Targeting JavaScript
When targeting JavaScript, a different plugin should be applied:
apply plugin: "kotlin2js"
This plugin only works for Kotlin files so it is recommended to keep Kotlin and Java files separate (if it's the case that the same project contains Java files). As with targeting the JVM, if not using the default convention, we need to specify the source folder using sourceSets:
sourceSets {
main.kotlin.srcDirs += 'src/main/myKotlin'
}
In addition to the output JavaScript file, the plugin by default creates an additional JS file with binary descriptors.
This file is required if you're building a re-usable library that other Kotlin modules can depend on, and should be distributed together with the result of translation.
The generation is controlled by the kotlinOptions.metaInfo
option:
compileKotlin2Js {
kotlinOptions.metaInfo = true
}
Targeting Android
Android's Gradle model is a little different from ordinary Gradle, so if we want to build an Android project written in Kotlin, we need kotlin-android plugin instead of kotlin:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.60'
...
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
Don't forget to configure the standard library dependency.
Android Studio
If using Android Studio, the following needs to be added under android:
android {
...
sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
}
}
This lets Android Studio know that the kotlin directory is a source root, so when the project model is loaded into the IDE it will be properly recognized. Alternatively, you can put Kotlin classes in the Java source directory, typically located in src/main/java
.
Configuring Dependencies
In addition to the kotlin-gradle-plugin
dependency shown above, you need to add a dependency on the Kotlin standard library:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib"
}
If you target JavaScript, use compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-js"
instead.
If you're targeting JDK 7 or JDK 8, you can use extended versions of the Kotlin standard library which contain
additional extension functions for APIs added in new JDK versions. Instead of kotlin-stdlib
, use one of the
following dependencies:
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7"
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8"
With Gradle Kotlin DSL, the following notation for the dependencies is equivalent:
dependencies {
compile(kotlin("stdlib"))
// or one of:
compile(kotlin("stdlib-jdk7"))
compile(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8"))
}
In Kotlin 1.1.x, use kotlin-stdlib-jre7
and kotlin-stdlib-jre8
instead.
If your project uses Kotlin reflection or testing facilities, you need to add the corresponding dependencies as well:
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
testCompile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test"
testCompile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit"
Or, with Gradle Kotlin DSL:
compile(kotlin("reflect"))
testCompile(kotlin("test"))
testCompile(kotlin("test-junit"))
Starting with Kotlin 1.1.2, the dependencies with group org.jetbrains.kotlin
are by default resolved with the version
taken from the applied plugin. You can provide the version manually using the full dependency notation like
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
, or kotlin("stdlib", kotlinVersion)
in Gradle Kotlin DSL.
Annotation processing
See the description of Kotlin annotation processing tool (kapt
).
Incremental compilation
Kotlin supports optional incremental compilation in Gradle. Incremental compilation tracks changes of source files between builds so only files affected by these changes would be compiled.
Starting with Kotlin 1.1.1, incremental compilation is enabled by default.
There are several ways to override the default setting:
-
add
kotlin.incremental=true
orkotlin.incremental=false
line either to agradle.properties
or to alocal.properties
file; -
add
-Pkotlin.incremental=true
or-Pkotlin.incremental=false
to Gradle command line parameters. Note that in this case the parameter should be added to each subsequent build, and any build with disabled incremental compilation invalidates incremental caches.
Note, that the first build won't be incremental.
Coroutines support
Coroutines support is an experimental feature in Kotlin 1.2, so the Kotlin compiler reports a warning when you use coroutines in your project.
To turn off the warning, add the following block to your build.gradle
file:
kotlin {
experimental {
coroutines 'enable'
}
}
Or, with Gradle Kotlin DSL:
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.Coroutines
// ...
kotlin.experimental.coroutines = Coroutines.ENABLE
Module names
The Kotlin modules that the build produces are named accordingly to the archivesBaseName
property of the project. If a project has a broad name like lib
or jvm
, which is common for subprojects, the Kotlin output files related to the module (*.kotlin_module
) might clash with those from third-party modules with the same name. This causes problems when a project is packaged into a single archive (e.g. APK).
To avoid this, consider setting a unique archivesBaseName
manually:
archivesBaseName = 'myExampleProject_lib'
With Gradle Kotlin DSL, it is:
setProperty("archivesBaseName", "myExampleProject_lib")
Gradle Build Cache support (since 1.2.20)
The Kotlin plugin supports Gradle Build Cache (Gradle version 4.3 and above is required; caching is disabled with lower versions).
The kapt annotation processing tasks are not cached by default since annotation processors run arbitrary code that may not necessarily transform the task inputs into the outputs, might access and modify the files that are not tracked by Gradle etc. To enable caching for kapt anyway, add the following lines to the build script:
kapt {
useBuildCache = true
}
To disable the caching for all Kotlin tasks, set the system property flag kotlin.caching.enabled
to false
(run the build with the argument -Dkotlin.caching.enabled=false
).
Compiler Options
To specify additional compilation options, use the kotlinOptions
property of a Kotlin compilation task.
When targeting the JVM, the tasks are called compileKotlin
for production code and compileTestKotlin
for test code. The tasks for custom source sets are called accordingly to the compile<Name>Kotlin
pattern.
The names of the tasks in Android Projects contain the build variant names and follow the pattern compile<BuildVariant>Kotlin
, for example, compileDebugKotlin
, compileReleaseUnitTestKotlin
.
When targeting JavaScript, the tasks are called compileKotlin2Js
and compileTestKotlin2Js
respectively, and compile<Name>Kotlin2Js
for custom source sets.
To configure a single task, use its name. Examples:
compileKotlin {
kotlinOptions.suppressWarnings = true
}
compileKotlin {
kotlinOptions {
suppressWarnings = true
}
}
With Gradle Kotlin DSL, get the task from the project's tasks
first:
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile
// ...
val kotlinCompile: KotlinCompile by tasks
kotlinCompile.kotlinOptions.suppressWarnings = true
Use the types Kotlin2JsCompile
and KotlinCompileCommon
for the JS and Common targets, accordingly.
It is also possible to configure all Kotlin compilation tasks in the project:
tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile::class.java).all {
kotlinOptions { ... }
}
A complete list of options for the Gradle tasks follows:
Attributes common for JVM, JS, and JS DCE

Generating documentation
To generate documentation for Kotlin projects, use Dokka; please refer to the Dokka README for configuration instructions. Dokka supports mixed-language projects and can generate output in multiple formats, including standard JavaDoc.
OSGi
For OSGi support see the Kotlin OSGi page.
Using Gradle Kotlin DSL
When using Gradle Kotlin DSL, apply the Kotlin plugins using the plugins { ... }
block. If you apply them with apply { plugin(...) }
instead, you may encounter unresolved references to the extensions generated by Gradle Kotlin DSL. To resolve that, you can comment out the erroneous usages, run the Gradle task kotlinDslAccessorsSnapshot
, then uncomment the usages back and rerun the build or reimport the project into the IDE.
Examples
The following examples show different possibilities of configuring the Gradle plugin:

FiveThirtyEight’s Updated Playoff Prediction After Oklahoma’s Win
by Andrew HolleranFiveThirtyEight’s prediction for the College Football Playoff has updated following Oklahoma’s win over previously-undefeated Baylor in Waco on Saturday night.
Week 12 has now seen two undefeated teams go down, as Minnesota lost to Iowa and the Bears fell to the Sooners.
The computer projections have updated as a result.
Here’s the latest top four, from FiveThirtyEight:
- Clemson
- LSU
- Ohio State
- Georgia
Oklahoma is now the first team out at No. 5, given a 35 percent chance. Oregon is next up at 32 percent, followed by Utah (27 percent), Alabama (13 percent) and Penn State (13 percent).
The new College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday night.
We’ll have a much better idea of the playoff picture then.

Section 2 Getting Started
The purpose of this section is to provide teachers with general tips to incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in their classrooms regardless of course content.
Explore how under-represented groups are performing in your classroom
- Explore the My Course Analytics Dashboard (MCAD): this tool allows you to look at student performance broken down by gender, residency, race/ethnicity, transfer status, first-generation status, pell grant eligibility, relative SAT and ACT percentiles, and age (FAQs )
Navigate available resources and design an inclusive syllabus
- Explore the DEI Sakai site which contains several helpful resources on diversity in the classroom and anti-racist teaching. Email Patrick Harrison to be added to the site.
- Use available resources on inclusive class design (see here for links to resources on how to talk about race in the classroom, inclusive class design basics, and considerations for zoom classrooms, office hours, syllabi, test questions, and for writing DEI statements).
- Read about inclusive syllabi and inclusive teaching
- Make updates to your course syllabi incorporating what you have learned
Build representation into your course
- Make sure all of your students can see themselves represented in the names and images you present.
- Discuss diverse social groups and emphasize different identities in class examples. For example, to help your class relate to issues of diversity you may talk about sexism, classism, misogyny, ageism, homophobia, transphobia and/or xenophobia in addition to racism.
- Include research from BIPOC/URM scholars in your syllabi and lectures (see this list of BIPOC/URM scholars across program/topic area; this database of neuroscientists, and this list of affective scientists)
- Familiarize yourself with WEIRD psychology samples. Make updates to your slides, examples, tests, quizzes, assignments, and readings to better represent your students and highlight the work of historically excluded scholars.
Consider Accessibility
- Use a contrast checker and color-blind friendly color palettes to enhance visual accessibility.
- For virtual teaching, use closed captioning (e.g., PPT, google slides , zoom , teams )
- Article from Society for the Teaching of Psychology provides suggestions for increasing inclusiveness by adding discussions of Disabilities in psychology courses:
- Ensure students have access to university resources related to both scholarship (e.g., learning center, Thrive@Carolina, writing center) and mental health (e.g., UNC CAPS & UNC Student Wellness) by linking these resources to your course web page or syllabus
Recognize bias in science and the historical and cultural context of the material you cover
- Make sure all of your students can see themselves represented in the names and images you present. Discuss diverse social groups and emphasize different identities in class examples. For example, to help your class relate to issues of diversity you may talk about classism, misogyny, ageism, homophobia, transphobia and/or xenophobia in addition to racism.
- Include research from BIPOC/URM scholars in your syllabi and lectures (see this list of BIPOC/URM scholars across program/topic area; this database of neuroscientists, this list of affective scientists) Familiarize yourself with WEIRD psychology samples.
- Make updates to your slides, examples, tests, quizzes, assignments, and readings to better represent your students and highlight the work of historically excluded scholars.
Continue your own education to critically evaluate your courses and teaching practices
- Read Tatum (1992) Talking about Race, Learning about Racism Consider likely sources of discomfort/resistance (e.g., look at this guide to White Supremacy Culture in Organizations)
- Explore the Teachers Tolerance Guide and related resources on facilitating critical conversations
- Sign up for additional trainings at UNC (e.g., SafeZone, GreenZone, UndocuCarolina, Haven).
- Be open to feedback. Listen to students and peers about issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Remember, you will still make mistakes. If a student or peer alerts you to an action that is in contrast with the core philosophy of DEI in teaching, formally apologize. Avoid an apology that centers on absolving yourself of guilt, but focus instead on acknowledging your mistake, naming why it was harmful, and implementing an actionable change so that it doesn’t happen again.
- Continue educating yourself about DEI issues and update your syllabi and course materials annually or biannually to reflect what you learn.

Jon Lech Johansen, and you can call him DVD Jon.
"If you can't beat them hire them" - This seems to be Apple's new motto. The reason being, it has hired DVD Jon. The very same Jon, who's broken into iTunes thrice giving them sleepless nights.
The first time he targeted iTunes was when he decrypted Apple Computer's wireless music streaming technology. He published the key that Apple's wireless hi-fi bridge, Airport Express, uses to protect music streams and also released another program along with the key and in effect contribute to making it possible for other software applications other than Apple iTunes to work with AirPort Express.
The second time around DVD Jon and two other programmers released software they call "PyMusique", that allows people to connect to Apple's iTunes music store and purchase songs without any copyright protection. They reportedly insisted that "PyMusique" is a "fair interface" for iTunes, aimed at allowing people who use the Linux operating system to purchase music from Apple's store.
Apple's patched the 'vulnerability'.
Just a few days after that they found their way back in spite of the patch. That was when Steve Jobs decided that he'd had enough. He has reportedly paid DVD Jon an undisclosed yet bizarrely huge amount of money to join Apple. DVD Jon has accepted the offer adding to the ever-growing list of hackers who bag security jobs (pun unintended) in big companies.

More history about this great hacker:
November 1983: Born in Harstad, Norway to a Polish mother and Norwegian father
December 1983: First encounter with a home computer: father’s Sinclair ZX Spectrum (picture above is from 1986)
1998: Installed GNU/Linux for the first time: RedHat 5.0 (still have the CD)
September - October 1999: Co-authored DeCSS with two European programmers
January 2000: Received the Karoline award, which is awarded to high school students who have excellent grades and who have
achieved something noteworthy in the arena of sports, art or culture
June 2000: Quit high school after completing the first year with an average grade of 5.75 (best achievable grade being 6)
January 2001: Reverse engineered the jazPiper Win2000 device driver and authored a jazPiper Linux driver
April 2002: Accepted an EFF Pioneer Award which was awarded to the entire DeCSS team
November 2003: Authored QTFairUse, an AAC memory dumper patch for Apple QuickTime
December 2003 - January 2004: Reverse engineered Apple FairPlay v1 and authored an open source C implementation of FairPlay. The implementation found its way into several tools (m4p2mp4, playfair and hymn) and was most likely studied by RealNetworks to add FairPlay support to Harmony.
May 2004: Reverse engineered FairPlay v2 and updated the open source C implementation
April 2004: Authored DeDRMS, an open source C# implementation of FairPlay
July 2004: Reverse engineered the iTunes Music Store protocol for downloading FairPlay user keys and authored FairKeys
August 2004: Reverse engineered the Apple AirTunes protocol and authored JustePort
March 2005: Co-authored PyMusique (an open source iTMS shopping client) with two American programmers
March 2005: Reverse engineered the iTMS 4.7 protocol and updated PyMusique after Apple disabled support for older versions of the protocol in an attempt to shut out PyMusique
March 2005: Authored SharpMusique (a C# port of PyMusique) at the request of Miguel de Icaza
April 2005: Combined DeDRMS and FairKeys into JusteTune
August 2005: Reverse engineered the encoding used in Microsoft’s NSC format and authored a decoder
October 2005: Moved to San Diego, USA
June 2006: Moved to San Francisco and joined DoubleTwist Ventures.

Graph vs Hypergraph Partitioning
Graph partitioning has proven quite useful in scientific computing.
Hypergraph partitioning
is a more recent improvement
that uses a hypergraph model, which is
often a more accurate model than the graph model for scientific computing.
(Hypergraphs contain hyperedges which connect two or more
vertices.)
See [Catalyurek & Aykanat] and
[Hendrickson & Kolda]
for further details.
You do not need to understand the underlying models
to use graph or hypergraph partitioning for load-balancing
in Zoltan. The basic trade-offs are:
- Hypergraph partitioning usually produces partitions (assignments)
of higher quality than graph partitioning, which may reduce
communication time in parallel applications (up to 30-40%
reduction has been reported). However, hypergraph
partitioning takes longer time to compute.
- The graph model is restricted to symmetric data dependencies.
If you have a non-symmetric problem, we recommend hypergraph
partitioning.
Migrating from ParMetis to PHG in Zoltan
If you already use Zoltan for graph partitioning (via ParMetis),
there are three ways to switch to the Zoltan-PHG hypergraph partitioner:
- The quick and easy way: Just change the
LB_METHOD to "Hypergraph".
Zoltan will then use the graph query functions (presumably
already implemented) to construct a hypergraph model, which
is similar to but not equivalent to the graph.
- The proper way: Change the LB_METHOD, but also implement and
register the
hypergraph query functions
required by Zoltan. These may give a more accurate representation
of data dependencies (and communication requirements) for your
application.
- If you really want graph (not hypergraph) partitioning:
Just change the
LB_METHOD to "Graph".
Zoltan will then use PHG as a graph partitioner, which is slower than
ParMetis but often produces better partitions (lower cuts).
Technical note: A hypergraph is constructed from the graph as follows:
The vertices are the same in the hypergraph as in the graph. For each vertex
v, create a hyperedge that consists of all neighbors in the graph
and v itself.

make-load-form-saving-slots
object &key slot-names environment
⇒ creation-form, initialization-form
object—an object.
slot-names—a list.
environment—an environment object.
creation-form—a form.
initialization-form—a form.
Returns forms that, when evaluated, will construct an object equivalent to object, without executing initialization forms. The slots in the new object that correspond to initialized slots in object are initialized using the values from object. Uninitialized slots in object are not initialized in the new object. make-load-form-saving-slots works for any instance of standard-object or structure-object.
Slot-names is a list of the names of the slots to preserve. If slot-names is not supplied, its value is all of the local slots.
make-load-form-saving-slots returns two values, thus it can deal with circular structures. Whether the result is useful in an application depends on whether the object’s type and slot contents fully capture the application’s idea of the object’s state.
Environment is the environment in which the forms will be processed.
make-load-form, make-instance, setf; psetf, slot-value, slot-makunbound
make-load-form-saving-slots can be useful in user-written make-load-form methods.
When the object is an instance of standard-object, make-load-form-saving-slots could return a creation form that calls allocate-instance and an initialization form that contains calls to setf of slot-value and slot-makunbound, though other functions of similar effect might actually be used.
