Tim Elmore: College admissions scandal -- Could free range parenting prevent the next disaster?
by Tim ElmoreBy now, you’ve heard or read about the largest college admissions scandal in American history. Dozens of affluent parents—including celebrities—are now being sentenced to jail time and fines for paying bribes to Rick Singer, who posed as a legitimate advisor.
But I believe the real culprits in this scandal were the snowplow parents.
The Consequences of Snowplow Parents
As the Millennial Generation grew up, we began hearing about the “helicopter parent.” As Generation Z comes of age, we’re now hearing a descriptive term for an even more intrusive form of parent: the “snowplow” parent.
LORI LOUGHLIN AND HUSBAND PLEAD NOT GUILTY TO NEW CHARGES IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL
The term describes folks who are like machines clearing any obstacles in the path of their child’s success, even if their “plowing” is illegal. They navigate life for them, negotiate with teachers, exploit situations and even pay bribes to get their kid what they want from the system. Unfortunately, their children often never skin their knee or endure failure or frustration. It’s no wonder so many teens are unready for adulthood when it’s time.
Have we created a “snowflake” generation?
The snowflake generation is a term that’s caught on over the last five years as college students began demanding legislation for Halloween costumes and safe spaces from controversial speeches. The term describes the delicate, soft and even fragile population that’s coming of age ill-prepared to handle the challenges of adult life. The sad reality is:
Snowplow parents usually create snowflake generation.
What Free-Range Parenting Would Have Accomplished
I believe this scandal would have been avoided if these parents embraced a “free range” style. Free Range Parenting originated with Dr. Benjamin Spock in 1946 who encouraged parents to relax and allow age-appropriate risks for their children.
When you find yourself intruding in your teen’s life, ask yourself if helping them the way you feel is most natural is really going to help them down the road? Is helping them actually hurting them? Does your help disable them from learning hard lessons they’ll thank you for later?
States have begun to write laws to encourage “free-range parents” that allow kids to mature and figure life out—even applying for college. Lenore Skenazy endorsed it in her book, “Free Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry.” The goal of free-range parenting is to gradually offer autonomy and responsibility to kids as they age. Later, when they encounter intimidating situations, they’ve already faced and overcome such scenarios. They are ready for life.
How to Move From Snowplow to Free Range Parenting:
1. Ease them toward independence while they are still living with you.
The safest time for kids to learn independence is when they’re still in a safe place called: mom and dad’s house. It’s like a simulator. When our two kids were in high school, my wife had them begin doing their laundry. We had them pay half when they wanted their own car and we taught them to resolve any conflicts they had between them by age 12. The best part was—they seemed to know how to do it when they left for college. They even applied to their college all by themselves.

2. Combine autonomy with responsibility and increase them as they age.
The two ingredients that indicate maturity are autonomy (I can do this on my own) and responsibility (I will own this task as if it were my own). Whenever our kids wanted more autonomy, I always tried to combine that freedom with a corresponding responsibility, a sense of ownership of it. If they borrowed the family car, they paid for the gas they used. If they wanted the right to stay out later at night, they had to meet the current curfew first.
3. Don’t do for them what they should do for themselves.
Some student affairs staff tell me their student’s parents call them about topics the students should figure out by college. For instance, moms will call and ask what items are in the dining hall salad bar so they can choose what their kid should eat for lunch. Parents call or text to make sure their child is up and doesn’t miss class. Another parent intervened on a video chat to resolve a conflict her child had with a roommate over a stolen peanut butter jar. We delay their maturation when we do such tasks for them.

4. Always ask yourself: Does helping them now hurt them in the long run?
This is a great accountability question for parents. When you find yourself intruding in your teen’s life, ask yourself if helping them the way you feel is most natural is really going to help them down the road? Is helping them actually hurting them? Does your help disable them from learning hard lessons they’ll thank you for later? When I speak at an event, I often use this phrase: The further out I can see into the future, the better the decision I make today for my child.
If our goal is to prepare our kids not just protect our kids, free range styles win.


History
Anagramica was made in about 20 hours total, and published in an afternoon.
I spent an hour one sunday writing a quick algorithm in javascript to find the best possible anagram of a given letter set. Later in the week, while taking a trip to Yerevan, I needed something to do on the 5 hour plane ride, and began coding the game.
I initialy launched the game to my friends on facebook, looking for feedback. The response was to have automatic letter choices, more time, and better compatibility on mobile. The first two additions were trivial, and I will spend more time on the third when I have more time. Personally I wanted to make the game more interesting, and added a more intricate point system with different points per letter and bonuses
I wanted to make a game that only used javascript and css3 - no graphics - and degrades well. It looks much nicer on some browsers (recent chrome, firefox, opera, and safari), than others (internet explorer, older browser versions). The server side is written entirely in node.js. The dictionary I used is the default american-english dictionary that is bundled with Ubuntu - but I stripped lots of it out, including proper nouns and naughty words.
Counting Letters
In devising a score for the letters in anagramica, I turned to some basic number crunching. I wanted to score the letters based on their frequency in the words.
The tally above is for all words, I just want the words that I use in the game, so I narrowed the results to all words having at least 2 letters, and at most 10.

My Name is Anthony Williams. I am 25 years old. I am married to my highschool sweetheart Brittany Williams. I have 2 kids, 11 months and 4 years old.
Cool fact about those three. I asked her out on april 13th of 2012... Which is Friday the 13th. I proposed to her on Cinco de Mayo. Her birthday is March 17th which is St.Patricks Day, and my oldest son's birthday is also March 17th...but 21 years later. BUT WAIT.... Theres more... My youngest son was conceived on the same day as my first son, But he was born 18 days prior... If you do the math that would technically be Feburary 28th 2020.... But those who didnt know, 2020 was a leap year. So there was 29 days in Feburary. Yes, you guessed it. My Second son was born on Leap Day of Leap Year. That means he would only have 1 birthday every 4 years. In turn, when he turned 84, it would technically actually be his 21st ACTUAL birthday. So...
Now this is where i come in. I was born August 5th 1995. There is nothing special about my birthday. I was born and thats special enough for me! I was born in Florida and raised in Maine. My mother passed away in 2007 when i was 11. She passed of Metastatic Melanoma, which now is one of the ONLY cancers that can be cured in Stage 4. 10 years to late, huh? I than moved to Colorado, where i met my gorgeous wife, graduated Highschool and enlisted for the Army.
I Went to basic, got married, and was stationed in Joint-Base Lewis Mcchord all in 2013. By 2015 I re-classed into Aviation and than deployed right after. Upon return from Deployment i was medically discharged. I ended up being in the military 7 years. 2013 - 2020. It made me really realize that i have to buck up and make a good career field and a simple life for my family.
So i did. I am currently working full time as a system administrator for the department of defence. i am also currently holding a spot in the upcoming Spaceforce Software Development team that is being developed as we speak. When I graduate from Code Fellows 401 class with a focus on Python, i will fall into my Software Development spot and than work for the Department of Defence as a Gaurdian of the Galaxy. This is where i pose like Superman.
- Highschool Graduate
- Basic and Advanced Leadership schools (not a great one but it actually is good knowledge)
- Space Force Software Developer
- System Administrator
- US. Army
My goals consist of one thing and one thing only. To Continue bettering myself in every possible way. Goals are set by people who have a maximum potential. My potential doesn't stop until i tell it to.

Hi, I'm Kyle,
I'm a developer in currently enrolled in Georgia Tech's Coding
Bootcamp.
I'll be Graduating on June first.
I also have a full time job as an estimator at a body shop.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Portfolio.
I have a passion for all things technology and have recently became
interested in coding.
I am still learning but I am persistent and I learn new things
everday!
Things I'm also passionate about:


Provides the definition of the monitor classes. A Monitor is an MBean that periodically observes the value of an attribute in one or more other MBeans. If the attribute meets a certain condition, the Monitor emits a {@link javax.management.monitor.MonitorNotification MonitorNotification}. When the monitor MBean periodically calls {@link javax.management.MBeanServer#getAttribute getAttribute} to retrieve the value of the attribute being monitored it does so within the access control context of the {@link javax.management.monitor.Monitor#start} caller.
The value being monitored can be a simple value contained within a complex type. For example, the {@link java.lang.management.MemoryMXBean MemoryMXBean} defined in java.lang.management has an attribute HeapMemoryUsage of type {@link java.lang.management.MemoryUsage MemoryUsage}. To monitor the amount of used memory, described by the used property of MemoryUsage, you could monitor "HeapMemoryUsage.used". That string would be the argument to {@link javax.management.monitor.MonitorMBean#setObservedAttribute(String) setObservedAttribute}.
The rules used to interpret an ObservedAttribute like "HeapMemoryUsage.used" are as follows. Suppose the string is A.e (so A would be "HeapMemoryUsage" and e would be "used" in the example).
First the value of the attribute A is obtained. Call it v. A value x is extracted from v as follows:
The third rule means for example that if the attribute HeapMemoryUsage is a MemoryUsage, monitoring "HeapMemoryUsage.used" will obtain the observed value by calling MemoryUsage.getUsed().
If the ObservedAttribute contains more than one period, for example "ConnectionPool.connectionStats.length", then the above rules are applied iteratively. Here, v would initially be the value of the attribute ConnectionPool, and x would be derived by applying the above rules with e equal to "connectionStats". Then v would be set to this x and a new x derived by applying the rules again with e equal to "length".
Although it is recommended that attribute names be valid Java identifiers, it is possible for an attribute to be called HeapMemoryUsage.used. This means that an ObservedAttribute that is HeapMemoryUsage.used could mean that the value to observe is either an attribute of that name, or the property used within an attribute called HeapMemoryUsage. So for compatibility reasons, when the ObservedAttribute contains a period (.), the monitor will check whether an attribute exists whose name is the full ObservedAttribute string (HeapMemoryUsage.used in the example). It does this by calling {@link javax.management.MBeanServer#getMBeanInfo(javax.management.ObjectName) getMBeanInfo} for the observed MBean and looking for a contained {@link javax.management.MBeanAttributeInfo MBeanAttributeInfo} with the given name. If one is found, then that is what is monitored. If more than one MBean is being observed, the behavior is unspecified if some of them have a HeapMemoryUsage.used attribute and others do not. An implementation may therefore call getMBeanInfo on just one of the MBeans in this case. The behavior is also unspecified if the result of the check changes while the monitor is active.
The exact behavior of monitors is detailed in the JMX Specification. What follows is a summary.
There are three kinds of Monitors:
A {@link javax.management.monitor.CounterMonitor CounterMonitor} observes attributes of integer type. The attributes are assumed to be non-negative, and monotonically increasing except for a possible roll-over at a specified modulus. Each observed attribute has an associated threshold value. A notification is sent when the attribute exceeds its threshold.
An offset value can be specified. When an observed value exceeds its threshold, the threshold is incremented by the offset, or by a multiple of the offset sufficient to make the threshold greater than the new observed value.
A CounterMonitor
can operate in
difference mode. In this mode, the value
compared against the threshold is the difference between
two successive observations of an attribute.
A {@link javax.management.monitor.GaugeMonitor GaugeMonitor} observes attributes of numerical type. Each observed attribute has an associated high threshold and low threshold.
When an observed attribute crosses the high threshold, if the notify high flag is true, then a notification is sent. Subsequent crossings of the high threshold value will not trigger further notifications until the gauge value becomes less than or equal to the low threshold.
When an observed attribute crosses the low threshold, if the notify low flag is true, then a notification is sent. Subsequent crossings of the low threshold value will not trigger further notifications until the gauge value becomes greater than or equal to the high threshold.
Typically, only one of the notify high and notify low flags is set. The other threshold is used to provide a hysteresis mechanism to avoid the repeated triggering of notifications when an attribute makes small oscillations around the threshold value.
A GaugeMonitor
can operate in difference
mode. In this mode, the value compared against the
high and low thresholds is the difference between two
successive observations of an attribute.
A {@link javax.management.monitor.StringMonitor
StringMonitor} observes attributes of type
String
. A notification is sent when an
observed attribute becomes equal and/or not equal to a
given string.

Snorted a small line to see if this stuff works nasally and perhaps works better this way. Doesn't burn badly but it is felt. I'm talking on msn and I'm basically in a good mood. Drip just started. Ewww Burns! This stuff has a horrible burning drip much like DPT. I drink some water and have a ciggarette.
22:47
Effects are noticed. Distinguishing between sobriety and the drug it's effects now.
The effects are coming on gradually now and I am waiting to see how much stronger it's going to get before I take more. Come up is felt but very light and so not bothering me at all. Psychedelic feeling. Possibly feeling warmer. Pupils are dilated.
23:02
Decided to ingest the rest of the 100mg in a gelcapsule. Snorting this stuff isn't exactly pleasant. The sensation is pretty much like every other tryptamine at a low dose. Undistiguishable from other tryptamines. Stronger effects need to be reached to be able to explain better what is unique about this substance.
Watched some movie on tv for a while to see if I liked it. Nope. I don't like scary movies. A light psychedelic feeling with no character of it's own yet is felt. Listening to some music. Thinking about the future and humanity on earth. I am worried.
The substance is making me care more about the situation of natural disasters than my drug use. The beautiful music goes along with it perfectly. I want to help. I don't know how. That's where my thought patterns lay now. A more serious mood developed. Talking on msn again now.
23:55
Are we getting stronger effects yet? I feel a tactile sensation through my head. Chills. As I am thinking about concepts I perceive more insight in my thought patterns. Possibly more abstract. Chills continue through my head. A positive thing is that I haven't felt any come up feelings yet. And the experience of course is positive. Enjoyable but not strong. Not a trip because I'm still here.
00:13
Starting to feel the tactile sensations through the rest of my body. Mainly through my head. Colour difference is observed. First visual activity. Coming on stronger now.
Mood improving. As lucidity comes.
0:36
I keep smiling the whole time. I feel chills and cold. I turn up the heat. One person that was sober that I was talking to on msn noticed effects I believe. Through telepathy. All the other people who I talked to were high on other things so no way to be absolutely sure. Tactile sensations is what I experience for the most part. I feel chills through my whole body. I am happier now than I was before I took this substance.
1:18
The trip itself isn't strong enough to keep me busy. I'm still capable of doing all the other things I usually do.  But perhaps need something to do. This drug might require a higher dosage to achieve full effects. I don't know what brain receptors this drug effect but something in my brain that regulates my temperature may be affected.
2:00
No increase of effects. Either a higher dosage is needed or this compound is boring.
2:47
Nothing is changing so I don't write anything anymore. That's about it for this substance. It's not worn off or anything yet but I just don't have anything to add. I'm just talking on msn and listening to music. It's a good mood enhancer though. Like almost every other psychedelic. NO visuals. But almost. I perceive everything that is of matter as spirit. The substance that everything is really made of. But yeah. Every psychedelic does that.
3:41
Still going. I notice the chills are gone now. Don't know for how long they've been gone. I don't miss it.
5:26
Yawn. I ate some fruit. The drug helped me by making my mind more lucid. It was a positive experience but not a real trip. I'm getting more tired.
6:00
Effects are still present but I'm going to try and get some sleep. I think this drug might be useful for those who want to explore telepathy further but if you're looking for a real trip I recommend a different substance.
Good night

Miscellaneous Swing Components
Messages
The Messages class provides a way to show simple message boxes, input dialogs (modal dialogs with a text field) and chooser dialogs (modal dialogs with a combo box). The function of different methods of the class should be clear from their names. When running on Mac OS X, the message boxes shown by the Messages class use native UI.
The showCheckboxMessageDialog()
function provides an easy way to implement a Do not show this again
checkbox on messages.
Note that it is recommended to use non-modal notifications instead of modal message boxes whenever it’s appropriate. Please refer to the Notifications topic for more information.
JBSplitter
The JBSplitter class is JetBrains’ replacement for the standard JSplitPane class. Unlike some other JetBrains-enhanced Swing components, it’s not a drop-in replacement and has a different API. However, to achieve a consistent user experience, it’s recommended to use JBSplitter instead of the standard JSplitPane in your plugins.
To add your components to the splitter, call the setFirstComponent()
and setSecondComponent()
methods.
JBSplitter
supports automatic remembering of the split proportion.
In order to enable it, call the setSplitterProportionKey()
method and pass the ID under which the proportion will be stored.
JBTabs
The JBTabs class is JetBrains’ implementation of the tab control, used for editor tabs and a few other components. It has a significantly different look & feel compared to the standard Swing tabs, and looks less native on the Mac OS X platform, so it’s up to you to choose which tab control would be more appropriate for your plugin.

Kavanaugh accuser gets award from ACLU for speaking out
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - In a rare public appearance to pick up an award, the woman who accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault says she had a responsibility to come forward, NBC News reports.
Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor at Palo Alto University in California, spoke Sunday after she accepted the Rodger Baldwin Courage Award from the ACLU of Southern California in Beverly Hills.
She said: "When I came forward last September, I did not feel courageous. I was simply doing my duty as a citizen. I understood that not everyone would welcome my information, and I was prepared for a variety of outcomes, including being dismissed."
Blasey Ford testified in September 2018 during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings that Kavanaugh assaulted her during a gathering of teenagers in suburban Maryland in 1982.

These chains have always done that
the mempool fix helps but there is stil a problem
jl777c02-Nov-18 01:07 PM
i think in miner.cpp it assumes that the order in the mempool matches the order of dependency, but really it can be random so i think a lot are being skipped
CreateNewBlock or something like that is the one that makes a new block template for mining
blackjok3r02-Nov-18 01:08 PM
@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 was able to make his pool mine large blocks, but gave up as there was too much hash on the other one.
jl777c02-Nov-18 01:10 PM
I will look into this one, it really shouldnt be skipping so many tx
you don't want it 0
basically, you want a full block and in this order
paying over min
paying min
paying some
paying none
jl777c02-Nov-18 03:20 PM
i think one of the dicefinish tx constructors is off by txfee
once that is fixed and the dealer node updated, we should get most all the mempool confirming each block
yes, this is indeed confirmed: "fee rate skip" is the reason
I can certainly fix it fast enough, but it would be good for someone like @Alright to find the bug and maybe even fix it
it will be easy enough to verify as the txfee wont be 0 after the fix
Alright02-Nov-18 03:28 PM
I can try. I'm a bit preoccupied with STAKED testnet launch atm however. Is it a vital fix?
I'll drop what I'm doing over there if so
jl777c02-Nov-18 03:34 PM
not vital
just will allow a lot more dicebet per block
bottleneck is dicefinish appears to be making 0txfee so the miner (correctly) only allows a few per block
with the current dealer node code, 60 per block should be sustainable
Alright02-Nov-18 03:35 PM
ok understood, will start looking at contract code in a couple hours(edited)
jl777c02-Nov-18 03:35 PM
once it gets the completion queues, then 1000+ per block
just look at the dice.cpp DiceFinish where it is constructing the txfee, likely it just needs an extra txfee added
Alright02-Nov-18 03:35 PM
just tack on 10k sat fee to each dicefinish tx?
jl777c02-Nov-18 03:36 PM
should literally be a few char fix as it probably tries to get txfee or 2txfee and it needs to be 2txfee or 3*txfee
best to fix only what is broken, so need to find the path that leads to 0 txfee and boost that by a txfee
Alright02-Nov-18 03:36 PM
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 03:41 PM
bottleneck is dicefinish appears to be making 0txfee so the miner (correctly) only allows a few per block
Or the pool could stop using default end-user settings and set it up to scrape properly
#justSayin
jl777c02-Nov-18 03:41 PM
yes, but we dont want to have the only pool setup in a configuration that would allow a bunch of 0 fee tx
best to fix this bug, especially if it is just the dealer node that needs to be updated
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 03:42 PM
I'm not seeing how allowing 0fee is a "bug" but ok
jl777c02-Nov-18 04:06 PM
i see the bug, it is indeed a matter to change txfee to 2*txfee since the 'L' path adds a marker vout
is it true that wins have nonzero txfee, but losses have 0 txfee?
oh, all dicefinish paths appears to be 0 txfee. how did we not notice this before?
Alright02-Nov-18 04:09 PM
didn't matter until now I guess
jl777c02-Nov-18 04:09 PM
pushed fix, you can see how easy it was
@jorian@siu - Chainmakers please update and it should fix the tx not confirming issue
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 04:11 PM
Ok, on it
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 04:17 PM
oh, all dicefinish paths appears to be 0 txfee. how did we not notice this before?
I can see the creation of a 0fee being a bug, but still not seeing where a pool being able to process 0fee is
Alright02-Nov-18 04:17 PM
if blocks are ever full, we will need to up the fee on dicefinish txs
dicefinish txs are high priority
I'm looking at it now, jl thanks
jl777c02-Nov-18 04:18 PM
and KMDICE is destined to get to full blocks
Alright02-Nov-18 04:18 PM
yep, exactly what I was thinking
jl777c02-Nov-18 04:18 PM
easy enough to increase the dicefinish txfee (as you see)

blackjok3r02-Nov-18 04:31 PM
Maybe that wallet needs to be rescanned after all that abuse or -Zapwallettxs
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 04:32 PM
let me reindex the chain then
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 04:34 PM
you can do zap without reindex
99% of the time you only need reindex if you have a known bad block or diverge from the "real" chain(edited)
blocks and txes use separate databases
blackjok3r02-Nov-18 04:36 PM
Yes ... I was messign with the wallet today, before I broke my branch trying to get notary address form some place in you dont seem to be able to get them from, I managed to make the wallet DB reject txs sent to you if they average vout was under a size ... works perfectly btw
dwy_ mitiigation
simple and effective
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 04:44 PM
im rescanning now
jorian02-Nov-18 05:16 PM
so because of 0 fee txns weren't mined

still something is not right.
I rescanned the chain and still getting the same error
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 05:23 PM
so because of 0 fee txns weren't mined
so because of 0 fee and pools using default settings, txns weren't mined
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 05:36 PM
i guess that no matter what is done, we will have to wait for the 1.2k transactions to get confirmed one by one
or orphaned or whatever
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 05:39 PM
we will have to wait for the 1.2k transactions to get confirmed
so, like 1 block?
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 05:40 PM
no
they are not confirming at the same time
they go one by one
and sometimes blocks go empty
i mean, all blocks are going empty
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Nov-18 05:43 PM
and, as I've said 100 bajillion times, that's only because the pool(s) are using default, end-user settings and not setting up nodes as actual mining nodes
When mining nodes are set to mine, every block can be full
the only exception is if you prestart based on a non-scrape like antpool does (bu no one here is getting that deep into a pool anyway)
siu - Chainmakers02-Nov-18 06:04 PM
could you give it a try and try to mine a block with all these tx?

DebugKit is a plugin supported by the core team that provides a toolbar to help make debugging CakePHP applications easier.
By default DebugKit is installed with the default application skeleton. If you’ve removed it and want to re-install it, you can do so by running the following from your application’s ROOT directory (where composer.json file is located):
php composer.phar require --dev cakephp/debug_kit "~3.0"
Then, you need to enable the plugin by executing the following line:
bin/cake plugin load DebugKit
By default, DebugKit uses a small SQLite database in your application’s /tmp
directory to store the panel data. If you’d like DebugKit to store its data
elsewhere, you should define a debug_kit
connection.
By default DebugKit will store panel data into a SQLite database in your
application’s tmp
directory. If you cannot install pdo_sqlite, you can
configure DebugKit to use a different database by defining a debug_kit
connection in your config/app.php file. For example:
/**
* The debug_kit connection stores DebugKit meta-data.
*/
'debug_kit' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
//'port' => 'nonstandard_port_number',
'username' => 'dbusername', // Your DB username here
'password' => 'dbpassword', // Your DB password here
'database' => 'debug_kit',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'quoteIdentifiers' => false,
//'init' => ['SET GLOBAL innodb_stats_on_metadata = 0'],
],
The DebugKit Toolbar is comprised of several panels, which are shown by clicking the CakePHP icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser window. Once the toolbar is open, you should see a series of buttons. Each of these buttons expands into a panel of related information.
Each panel lets you look at a different aspect of your application:
DebugKit\DebugTimer
, and memory usage collected with
DebugKit\DebugMemory
.Typically, a panel handles the collection and display of a single type of information such as Logs or Request information. You can choose to view panels from the toolbar or add your own custom panels.
The history panel is one of the most frequently misunderstood features of DebugKit. It provides a way to view toolbar data from previous requests, including errors and redirects.
As you can see, the panel contains a list of requests. On the left you can see a dot marking the active request. Clicking any request data will load the panel data for that request. When historical data is loaded the panel titles will transition to indicate that alternative data has been loaded.
The mail panel allow you to track all emails sent during a request.
The mailer preview allows you to easily check emails during development.
You can create your own custom panels for DebugKit to help in debugging your applications.
Panel Classes simply need to be placed in the src/Panel directory. The
filename should match the classname, so the class MyCustomPanel
would be
expected to have a filename of src/Panel/MyCustomPanel.php:
namespace App\Panel;
use DebugKit\DebugPanel;
/**
* My Custom Panel
*/
class MyCustomPanel extends DebugPanel
{
...
}
Notice that custom panels are required to extend the DebugPanel
class.
By default Panel objects have two callbacks, allowing them to hook into the
current request. Panels subscribe to the Controller.initialize
and
Controller.shutdown
events. If your panel needs to subscribe to additional
events, you can use the implementedEvents()
method to define all of the events
your panel is interested in.
You should refer to the built-in panels for some examples on how you can build panels.
Each Panel is expected to have a view element that renders the content from the
panel. The element name must be the underscored inflection of the class name.
For example SessionPanel
has an element named session_panel.ctp, and
SqllogPanel has an element named sqllog_panel.ctp. These elements should be
located in the root of your src/Template/Element directory.
Panels should pick up their title and element name by convention. However, if you need to choose a custom element name or title, you can define methods to customize your panel’s behavior:
title()
- Configure the title that is displayed in the toolbar.elementName()
- Configure which element should be used for a given panel.You can also implement the following hook methods to customize how your panel behaves and appears:
shutdown(Event $event)
This method typically collects and prepares the
data for the panel. Data is generally stored in $this->_data
.summary()
Can return a string of summary data to be displayed in the
toolbar even when a panel is collapsed. Often this is a counter, or short
summary information.data()
Returns the panel’s data to be used as element context. This hook
method lets you further manipulate the data collected in the shutdown()
method. This method must return data that can be serialized.Panels provided by Plugins work almost entirely the same as other
plugins, with one minor difference: You must set public $plugin
to be the
name of the plugin directory, so that the panel’s Elements can be located at
render time:
namespace MyPlugin\Panel;
use DebugKit\DebugPanel;
class MyCustomPanel extends DebugPanel
{
public $plugin = 'MyPlugin';
...
}
To use a plugin or app panel, update your application’s DebugKit configuration to include the panel:
// in config/bootstrap.php
Configure::write('DebugKit.panels', ['App', 'MyPlugin.MyCustom']);
Plugin::load('DebugKit', ['bootstrap' => true]);
The above would load all the default panels as well as the AppPanel
, and
MyCustomPanel
panel from MyPlugin
.

McDonald's CEO surprise exit throws long-term vision into doubt: analysts
(Reuters) - The surprise exit of McDonald’s Corp (MCD.N) chief executive officer, Steve Easterbrook, over the weekend has Wall Street wondering whether the burger chain’s multi-billion dollar strategy to boost sales could change under the new head.
Chris Kempczinski, who was in charge of McDonald’s operations in the United States, took over from Easterbrook on Sunday, following his dismissal over a recent consensual relationship with an employee, which McDonald’s board determined violated company policy.
Piper Jaffray & Co on Monday downgraded the stock to “neutral” from “buy”, citing the likely disruption from a sudden change of this magnitude.
“Our experience leads us to take a more cautionary view noting the potential lack of momentum and time involved in formalizing a new team,” analyst Miller Regan said.
Kempczinski has inherited the top spot at the world’s largest fast-food chain when its struggling to bring in more customers at its restaurants amid a shift to healthier food choices and delivery apps available at their finger tips.
Related Coverage
McDonald’s has spent billions to modernize stores, add digital kiosks and automate parts of the ordering process as part of its turnaround plan under Easterbrook, who took over as the CEO in 2015.
He was credited with franchising 95% of McDonald’s U.S. fleet, launching the popular all-day breakfast, revamping restaurants to add digital ordering kiosks and making tech acquisitions to remodel stores. The company’s stock has nearly doubled in value under him.
GRAPHIC-McDonald's share price - here
“Easterbrook was a change-agent at McDonald’s and his leadership, particularly in the face of difficult decisions ... will be missed,” Wells Fargo analyst Jon Tower said.
For Kempczinski, a Harvard alumnus, the biggest challenge will be rapid changes in the industry and the push to grow restaurant traffic, especially after McDonald’s remodeling investments, a switch to fresh beef and cheaper menu items that weighed on margins and service time.
“We are unsure how McDonald’s strategy might change under Kempczinski’s leadership as most major initiatives are already well underway,” said BTIG analyst Peter Saleh.
Shares of the company were down 2.6% at $188.59 in early trading.


Who plays in the Cotton Bowl 2020? Teams, date, schedule for New Year’s 6 bowl game
by Bill BenderNo. 13 Penn State (10-2) meets No. 15 Memphis (12-1) in the 2019 Cotton Bowl Classic.
The Tigers won the American Athletic Conference championship and earned the Group of 5 berth in the New Year's Day 6. Mike Norvell, who took the job at Florida State, plans on coaching the bowl game for the Tigers.

Memphis vs. Penn State three things to watch
Penn State's defense
The Nittany Lions have a loaded front seven that features linebacker Micah Parsons, who had 95 tackles and 11 tackles for loss. Penn State has a chance to win 11 games for the third time in five years under Franklin. Memphis' offense, which averaged 40.5 points per game, offers an interesting test.
Big-time playmakers
There are a pair of exciting playmakers in this game. Memphis' Kenneth Gainwell had 1,873 total yards with 15 touchdowns and averaged 7.6 yards per touch this season. Penn State's KJ Hamler battled injuries this season, but he averaged 13.6 yards per touch with eight touchdowns.
Group of 5 hype?
Group of 5 schools are 3-2 in New Year's Day 6 bowls, and American Athletic Conference teams are 2-1. Houston (2014) and UCF (2017) picked up victories in this spotlight, and this would be a program-building victory for the Tigers even with the departure of Norvell.

Police: Driver accused of traveling 120 mph on I-95
by EndPlayGREENLAND, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire state police say a driver has been accused of traveling at 120 miles an hour on Interstate 95.
A trooper stopped the car Thursday afternoon in Greenland in the southbound lane.
The trooper arrested 36-year-old Suniel Ross, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated and reckless driving.
Ross was released on personal recognizance bail and was scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 16. It wasn't immediately known if he had a lawyer and a phone number couldn't be found for him.

In this assignment you will learn about how to implement brushing and linking.
The line chart and scatterplot below show murder, poverty, and unemployment rates from 1996 to 2017 in Texas, USA. They are interactively connected via brushing and linking.
If you drag a brush across the marks in one view the marks are selected and highlighted. This is an example of brushing. In general, brushing means selecting as subset of the data marks with an input device which is usually paired with adding a pop-out channel to the marks to highlight them.
You will notice that brushing in one visualization causes marks in the other view to be highlighed too. This is an example of brushing and linking working together. In linking, the same brush effect (pop-out, highlighting) is applied to marks in other visualizations that correspond to the same datums.
What interesting patterns can you see in the data using brushing and linking? How is year related to unemployment rate?
List here where any code, packages/libraries, text, images, designs, etc. that you leverage come from.

Score¶
The next step is to examine the forecast skill. This is done by comparing the actual trajectories to the forecasted trajectories. We will see different patterns in the forecast skill depending on whether the system is dominated by deterministic or noisy dynamics. Consider the two systems below.
The top plot is the logistic map, a classic chaotic system in a certain parameter range. There is also a small amount of noise added to the system. The bottom plot is a white noise series. After calculating near neighbors, calculating the forecast and forecast skill, the following plot is produced.
The logistic map’s \(R^2\) values fall off as the state space distance of neighbor trajectories used for forcasting is increased. The plot is a little different from what was shown in the Quick Example section. Here we are looking at the forecast skill (y-axis) plotted against the average distance to a particular near neighbor (x-axis). To clarify, the first point on the plots above is the average distance to the first near neighbor for all the points in the testing set. For example, if there were 3 samples in our testing set and the first near neighbor to those points had distances [1.3, 4.5, 2.7] respectively. We would say that the average distance for the first near neighbor is:
This would be plotted against the \(R^2\) calculated for those three points.
For these series, different trends are apparent. The first is the initial value of the forecast skill. The logistic map has a high forecast skill at low distances in the phase space. The white noise, however, has a forecast skill of near-zero for the first near neighbor. This is to be expected as forecasting a truly noisy system is impossible. Additionally, the logistic map’s forecast skill falls off as average distance is increased while the noisy system stays steady around 0.


Code Standards
Without being too restrictive about how you have to code as part of Brooklyn, there are some style points that really make life easier when sharing code among ourselves:
- Use spaces (not tabs!) with 4 spaces indentation
- Keep line length <=128
- Don't reformat code or organize imports unless there's very good reason (this makes history and merges much harder)


Berkeley DB: Db->join
Db->join
#include <db.h>
int
DB->join(DB *primary,
DBC **curslist, u_int32_t flags, DBC **dbcp);
Description
The Db->join function creates a specialized cursor for use in performing
joins on secondary indices. Your data must be organized in the following
manner in order to take advantage of this:
- The actual data should be stored in the database represented by the
primary DB handle.
- Secondary indices should be stored in separate database files, whose keys
are the values of the secondary indices and whose data items are the
primary keys corresponding to the records having the designated secondary
key value. It is acceptable (and expected) that there may be duplicate
entries in the secondary indices.
These duplicate entries should be sorted. For more information see
the DB_INFO structure's DB_DUPSORT flag.
The primary argument contains the DB handle of the
primary database, which is keyed by the data values found in entries
in the curslist.
The curslist argument contains a NULL terminated array of
DBC structures. Each DBC must have been initialized to
reference the key on which the underlying database should be joined.
Typically, this initialization is done by a DBcursor->c_get call with
the DB_SET flag specified.
The flags parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.
The newly created cursor is returned in the memory location referenced
by dbcp.
The returned cursor has the standard cursor functions, that behave as
follows:
- DBcursor->c_get
- Iterates over the values associated with the keys to which each item in
curslist has been initialized. Any data value which appears in
all items specified by the curslist argument is then used as a
key into the primary, and the key/data pair found in the
primary is returned.
The flags parameter must be set to 0 or the following value:
- DB_JOIN_ITEM
- Do not use the data value found in all of the cursors as a lookup
key for the primary, but simply return it in the key parameter
instead. The data parameter is left unchanged.
In addition, the following value may be set by logically OR'ing it into the
flags parameter:
- DB_RMW
- Acquire write locks instead of read locks when doing the retrieval.
Setting this flag may decrease the likelihood of deadlock during a
read-modify-write cycle by immediately acquiring the write lock during
the read part of the cycle so that another thread of control acquiring
a read lock for the same item, in its own read-modify-write cycle, will
not result in deadlock.
- DBcursor->c_put
- Returns EINVAL.
- DBcursor->c_del
- Returns EINVAL.
- DBcursor->c_close
- Close the cursor and release all resources. (Closing the
cursors in curslist is the responsibility of the caller.)
In a transaction protected environment, all of the cursors listed in
curslist must have been created within the same transaction.
The Db->join
function returns the value of errno on failure, and 0 on success.
Errors
If a fatal error occurs in Berkeley DB, the Db->join function may fail and return
DB_RUNRECOVERY, at which point all subsequent database calls will also
return DB_RUNRECOVERY.
The Db->join
function may fail and return errno
for any of the errors specified for the following Berkeley DB and C library
functions:
fflush(3),
fprintf(3),
free(3),
malloc(3),
memset(3),
vfprintf(3),
and
vsnprintf(3).
In addition, the Db->join
function may fail and return errno
for the following conditions:
- EINVAL
- An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
The c_put or c_del functions were called.

This thread was very helpful for me whenever I first started creating torrents, so since it was lost with the previous forum, I'm going to attempt to help others out as well and remake it from scratch
Recently my band finished recording a few singles and now we are finally ready to release them digitally. In an attempt to put the songs everywhere we decided to post them on torrent sites to...


Looking at some slides on JS 2, I think it mostly looks pretty good -- the type stuff seems complex, but at least not terribly intrusive. There's one thing I don't like:
package org.mozilla.venkman { class Debugger { . . . } class Inspector { . . . } class StackWalker { . . . } }
I think package names as a whole just don't make sense; when I do x = 1 then 1 doesn't know it is named x, the same should apply to packages. Package names bother me in Python, but even more in this explicit form (with a package declaration).
Like Python, all scripts should be modules (in Python terminology), automatically. That is, you don't choose whether or not you are creating a module, you just are, always.
Unlike Python, packages shouldn't get names. Dealing with locating packages, resolving conflicts or dependencies, etc., is just tedious and unnecessary. Instead, use something like:
venkman = import('venkman.js')
This loads the given script by URI (relative to the script itself) as a module, and returns that module. Mostly this is just dead simple and obvious, and naturally safe. Maybe it should be syntax, as import * is still a reasonable operation, especially for backward compatibility. Or maybe syntax like var * = import('venkman.js') to unpack an object (in this case a module) into the local namespace.
Like in Python, all modules should know where they are located, similar to __file__. Maybe a __uri__ variable. All relative imports are relative to this location. This way you can do simple factoring without worrying about "name", just relative structure of your package. Unlike in Python, there's no __name__.
There still needs to be a way to include external libraries (which wouldn't necessarily be accessible through relative paths). This is a similar distinction of C's #include "foo.c" and #include <foo.c>. Maybe import('venkman.js', 'venkman.mozilla.org'), where the second argument is the name of the framework or package (venkman.js is the name of the module). I suppose org.mozilla.venkman looks nice as a package name to people who program Java; but venkman.mozilla.org looks nice to people who surf the web.
This second form of importing requires some way to find the libraries (which is just as true for explicitly declared packages, or maybe even worse). I imagine some routine like loadPackage(filename, packageName). This could return a package or null -- if null then the next loader would be tried. So, an example:
registerLoader(function (filename, packageName) { try { return import('/js-lib/' + packageName + '/' + filename); } catch (e if e isinstance ImportError) { return null; } });
This would give a global search path of /js-lib/. Some of these kinds of loaders should be easy to create (implemented as standard functions), perhaps declaratively through a <link>, since way to find scripts is intrinsic to the site, not the script. Whether loading the same script/URI twice produces the same module, I'm not sure -- probably. Some languages distinguish between the two (e.g., require vs. include in PHP).
Packages could install local loaders. So you could package your library with all its dependencies, and register a loader for that, coming after all the other loaders.
Maybe in addition to importing by package, version should also be allowed. So, import(filename[, packageName[, version]]). Though it would have to be a version specification, like >=1.0,<2.0`, not just a single version... and that's relatively hard to do, since there's no generic way in plain HTTP to list the contents of a directory and do a search. I'd be inclined to leave that out, maybe allowing for:
venkman = import('venkman.js', 'venkman.mozilla.org'); if (venkman.__version__ < '1.0' || venkman.__version__ >= '2.0') { venkman = import('./packages/venkman-1.0/venkman.js'); }
Or some externally-provided search path, e.g.:
{ // fancyDebugger is picky about the version of venkman it uses... let loader = registerLoader( pathImporter('./packages/venkman-1.0')); fancyDebugger = import('fancyDebugger.js'); deregisterLoader(loader); }
Which reminds me that JS2 should include encapsulated initialization/finalization. This would be another kind of anti-lesson from Python -- we've taken too long to add this (with in Python 2.5), and Javascript shouldn't put it off. It's easier to build Javascript function inline and pass them around, but it's still not used a great deal, in part because it requires a functional style that is unfamiliar to most programmers. Maybe it should learn from Ruby's block arguments, though I'm not sure if the specifics translate well. Maybe:
withLoader(pathImporter('./packages/venkman-1.0'), {{ fancyDebugger = import('fancyDebugger.js'); }})
That specific syntax doesn't really appeal to me, but there must be something like it that could work. The way JS2 uses let feels similar, but doesn't actually work in the same way.


Excerpted from Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, to be published this month by Random House; © 2010 by the author.
In the late 1920s, a cunning boy named Louis Zamperini was wreaking havoc in his hometown of Torrance, California. A serial runaway and artful dodger, he robbed his neighbors’ kitchens, put grease on streetcar rails and toothpicks in his teacher’s tires, pelted policemen with tomatoes, and ran clever scams to part locals from their money. But when Louie reached his teens, he made a momentous discovery: he was an exceptionally gifted runner. From then on, he channeled his defiance into track, displaying prodigious talent that carried him to the 1936 Berlin Olympics and within sight of the fabled four-minute mile.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, the athlete became an airman, joining the Army Air Corps. While training to be a bombardier, he formed a close friendship with his roommate and pilot, a gentle-tempered pastor’s son named Russell Phillips, known to all as Phil. In the fall of 1942, Louie and Phil were transferred to Oahu to begin their war journey together. Serving in a B-24 bomber they called Super Man, they saw months of harrowing combat, culminating in an epic battle with Japanese Zeros over the island of Nauru in April of 1943. With half of his crew severely wounded and his plane’s brakes shot, steering crippled, right rudder blown half off, and fuselage blasted with 600 holes, Phil somehow nursed Super Man home.
Only a few weeks later, on May 27, 1943, an officer in Louie and Phil’s squadron received an emergency call. A bomber piloted by a lieutenant named Clarence Corpening had taken off from Oahu the day before and had disappeared somewhere over the Pacific. Louie and Phil, on their way to Honolulu on their day off, were stopped at the base gate. A crew was needed to undertake a search. Super Man had been totaled in the Nauru mission, so the officer ordered them to take the only plane available, Green Hornet, a battered B-24 so ominously underpowered that it flew with its tail dangling well below its nose. No one on the Phillips crew wanted to go near the plane, but an order was an order. That morning, Louie, Phil, and their crew reluctantly boarded Green Hornet. Phil taxied the plane to the runway, took off, and flew south, headed for a search area some 200 miles north of a remote island called Palmyra.
At around two that afternoon, as Green Hornet flew low over the search area, one of its four engines suddenly died, and the bomber began dropping toward the sea. In the scramble to save the plane, a crewman made a fatal error, mistakenly shutting down a second engine. Green Hornet fell from the sky.
One Thought: Hopeless
When his plane hit the ocean, Louie heard nothing at all.
There were only soundless sensations: the plane tearing apart, his body hurtling forward, wires whipping around him, water over him, gravity dragging him under. He thrashed against the wires, and the plane carried him down.
Louie was drowning. He struggled uselessly, sinking deeper and deeper, the water growing darker and heavier around him. He thought: Hopeless. There was a bolt of pain in his head, then nothing.
He woke in total darkness, sensing the plane still around him, still deep underwater, sinking. Inexplicably, miraculously, the wires had vanished. He groped along the wreckage, found an opening, and kicked through. He pulled the inflation cords on his life vest and felt it lift him. He burst into dazzling daylight and breathed.
The ocean was a jumble of bomber remains. The lifeblood of the plane—oil, hydraulic fluid, and hundreds of gallons of fuel—slopped about on the surface. Curling among the hunks of wreckage were threads of blood.
Louie heard a voice. He turned toward it and saw Phil across the debris field, clinging to what looked like a fuel tank. With him was the tail gunner, Sgt. Francis McNamara, whom everyone called Mac.  Blood spouted in rhythmic arcs from Phil’s forehead and washed in sheets down his face. His eyes lolled about in bewilderment. Louie looked around. None of the eight other crewmen had surfaced.
Louie saw a life raft, almost certainly deployed by a crewman before impact, bobbing on the water. He knew that he had to get Phil’s bleeding stopped, but if he went to him, the raft would be lost and all three survivors would perish. He swam for the raft. His clothing and shoes weighed him down, and the current and wind carried the raft away faster than he could swim. As Louie looked back at Phil and Mac, sharing the recognition that their chance was lost, he saw a long cord trailing off the raft, snaking not two feet from his face. He snatched the cord, reeled the raft in, and climbed aboard. A second raft was sliding away. He grabbed his raft’s oars, rowed as hard as he could, and just managed to catch its cord and pull the second raft to him. He tied the rafts together and rowed to Phil and Mac.
Realizing that the jagged hunk that he was clinging to might perforate the rafts, Phil pushed it away. Louie pulled him aboard, and Mac climbed in under his own power. Both men, like Louie, were filmy with fuel and oil. With all three men in one raft, it was cramped; the raft was only about six feet long and a little more than two feet wide inside.
There were two gashes on the left side of Phil’s forehead. Blood was spurting from the wounds and, mixed with seawater, sloshing in the bottom of the raft. Remembering a lesson from Boy Scouts, Louie ran his fingers down Phil’s neck until he felt a pulse, the carotid artery. He showed Mac the spot and told him to press down, slowing the bleeding. He yanked off his overshirt and T-shirt and asked Mac to do the same, then folded one T-shirt into a compress and pressed it to Phil’s wounds. He took the other T-shirt and tied it tightly around Phil’s head, then slid Phil into the second raft to rest.
 He knew that he’d crashed, that someone had pulled him from the water, and that Louie was with him. As the pilot, he was officially in command, but he understood that he was in no condition to make decisions. He asked Louie to take over, and Louie agreed.
“I’m glad it was you, Zamp,” Phil said softly.
From somewhere nearby, there was a small sound, a moan trailing off into a gargle, a mouth trying to form a word, a throat filling with water—then silence. Louie grabbed an oar and circled around as rapidly as he could, searching for the drowning man. Whoever had made the sound had slipped under. He didn’t come up again.
With Phil’s bleeding under control, Louie turned his attention to the rafts. Made of two layers of canvas coated in rubber and divided into two air chambers, each was in good condition. Storage pockets in the rafts contained some survival provisions. Untying the pocket flaps, Louie found several thick chocolate bars—probably Hershey’s military-issue Ration D bars—divided into segments and packaged in waxed containers to resist gas attack.
With the chocolate, Louie found several half-pint tins of water, a brass mirror, a flare gun with flares, sea dye, a set of fishhooks, a spool of fishing line, and two air pumps in canvas cases. There was also a set of pliers with a screwdriver built into the handle. Louie pondered it for a long while, trying to come up with a reason why someone would need a screwdriver or pliers on a raft. Each raft also had a patch kit, to be used if the raft leaked. That was all there was.
The provisions were grossly inadequate. Adrift near the equator with little water and no shelter, Phil, Louie, and Mac would soon be in desperate trouble.
Maintaining Order
From the moment that he had come out of the water, Mac hadn’t said a word. He had somehow escaped the crash without injury, but his face had never lost its glazed, startled expression.

| | 6 | To configure and execute a custom query, switch to the ''View Tickets'' module from the navigation bar, and select the ''Custom Query'' link. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | == Filters == |
| | 9 | When you first go to the query page the default filters will display all open tickets, or if you're logged in it will display open tickets assigned to you. Current filters can be removed by clicking the button to the right with the minus sign on the label. New filters are added from the pulldown list in the bottom-right corner of the filters box. Filters with either a text box or a pulldown menu of options can be added multiple times to perform an ''or'' of the criteria. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | You can use the fields just below the filters box to group the results based on a field, or display the full description for each ticket. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Once you've edited your filters click the ''Update'' button to refresh your results. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | == Navigating Tickets == |
| | 16 | Clicking on one of the query results will take you to that ticket. You can navigate through the results by clicking the ''Next Ticket'' or ''Previous Ticket'' links just below the main menu bar, or click the ''Back to Query'' link to return to the query page. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the ''Next/Previous/Back to Query'' links after saving your results. When you return to the query ''any tickets which was edited'' will be displayed with italicized text. If one of the tickets was edited such that [[html(<span style="color: grey">it no longer matches the query criteria </span>)]] the text will also be greyed. Lastly, if '''a new ticket matching the query critera has been created''', it will be shown in bold. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | The query results can be refreshed and cleared of these status indicators by clicking the ''Update'' button again. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | == Saving Queries == |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | While Trac does not yet allow saving a named query and somehow making it available in a navigable list, you can save references to queries in Wiki content, as described below. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | === Using TracLinks === |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | You may want to save some queries so that you can come back to them later. You can do this by making a link to the query from any Wiki page. |
| | 29 | {{{ |
| | 30 | [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&version=1.0 Active tickets against 1.0] |
| | 31 | }}} |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | Which is displayed as: |
| | 34 | [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&version=1.0 Active tickets against 1.0] |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | This uses a very simple query language to specify the criteria (see [wiki:TracQuery#QueryLanguage Query Language]). |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | Alternatively, you can copy the query string of a query and paste that into the Wiki link, including the leading `?` character: |
| | 39 | {{{ |
| | 40 | [query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=owner Assigned tickets by owner] |
| | 41 | }}} |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | Which is displayed as: |
| | 44 | [query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=owner Assigned tickets by owner] |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | === Using the `[[TicketQuery]]` Macro === |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | The `[[TicketQuery]]` macro lets you display lists of tickets matching certain criteria anywhere you can use WikiFormatting. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | Example: |
| | 51 | {{{ |
| | 52 | [[TicketQuery(version=1.0|2.0&resolution=duplicate)]] |
| | 53 | }}} |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | This is displayed as: |
| | 56 | [[TicketQuery(version=1.0|2.0&resolution=duplicate)]] |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | Just like the [wiki:TracQuery#UsingTracLinks query: wiki links], the parameter of this macro expects a query string formatted according to the rules of the simple [wiki:TracQuery#QueryLanguage ticket query language]. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | A more compact representation without the ticket summaries is also available: |
| | 61 | {{{ |
| | 62 | [[TicketQuery(version=1.0|2.0&resolution=duplicate, compact)]] |
| | 63 | }}} |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | This is displayed as: |
| | 66 | [[TicketQuery(version=1.0|2.0&resolution=duplicate, compact)]] |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | === Query Language === |
| | 69 | |
| | 70 | `query:` TracLinks and the `[[TicketQuery]]` macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Basically, the filters are separate by ampersands (`&`). Each filter then consists of the ticket field name, an operator, and one or more values. More than one value are separated by a pipe (`|`), meaning that the filter matches any of the values. |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | The available operators are: |
| | 73 | || '''=''' || the field content exactly matches the one of the values || |
| | 74 | || '''~=''' || the field content contains one or more of the values || |
| | 75 | || '''!^=''' || the field content starts with one of the values || |
| | 76 | || '''$=''' || the field content ends with one of the values || |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | All of these operators can also be negated: |
| | 79 | || '''!=''' || the field content matches none of the values || |
| | 80 | || '''!~=''' || the field content does not contain any of the values || |
| | 81 | || '''!!^=''' || the field content does not start with any of the values || |
| | 82 | || '''!$=''' || the field content does not end with any of the values || |
| | 83 | |
