Materialize is a modern responsive front-end framework based on Material Design
Here is a color palette based on the material design base colors. Each of these colors is defined with a base color class and an optional lighten or darken class.
| red | pink | purple | deep-purple | indigo |
| blue | light-blue | cyan | teal | green |
| light-green | lime | yellow | amber | orange |
| deep-orange | brown | grey | blue-grey | black |
Materialize uses a 5-level lighten scale and a 4-level darken scale.
The scale for red is displayed below.
| red | red darken-1 | red darken-2 | red darken-3 | red darken-4 |
| red lighten-1 | red lighten-2 | red lighten-3 | red lighten-4 | red lighten-5 |
The scale for red-accent is displayed below.
| red | red accent-1 | red accent-2 | red accent-3 | red accent-4 |
The container class is not strictly part of the grid but is important in laying out content. It allows you to center your page content. The container class is set to ~70% of the window width. It helps you center and contain your page content. We use the container to contain our body content.
Materialize uses a standard 12 column fluid responsive grid system. The grid helps you layout your page in an ordered, easy fashion.
To offset, simply add offset-s2 to the class where s signifies the screen class-prefix (s = small, m = medium, l = large) and the number after is the number of columns you want to offset by.
Cards are a convenient means of displaying content composed of different types of objects. They’re also well-suited for presenting similar objects whose size or supported actions can vary considerably, like photos with captions of variable length.
I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information. I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.
Here is the standard card with an image thumbnail.
I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information. I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.
Here is the standard card with a horizontal image.
I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information.
For a simpler card with less markup, try using a card panel which just has padding and a shadow effect
Tables are a nice way to organize a lot of data. We provide a few utility classes to help you style your table as easily as possible. In addition, to improve mobile experience, all tables on mobile-screen widths are centered automatically.
Tables are borderless by default.
| Name | Item Name | Item Price |
|---|---|---|
| Alvin | Eclair | $0.87 |
| Alan | Jellybean | $3.76 |
| Jonathan | Lollipop | $7.00 |
Add class="bordered" to the table tag for a bordered table.
Add class="striped" to the table tag for a striped table
Add class="highlight" to the table tag for a highlight table.
Add class="centered" to the table tag to center align all the text in the table
Add class="responsive-table" to the table tag to make the table horizontally scrollable on smaller screen widths.
Collections allow you to group list objects together.
Forms are the standard way to receive user inputted data. The transitions and smoothness of these elements are very important because of the inherent user interaction associated with forms.
Text fields allow user input. The border should light up simply and clearly indicating which field the user is currently editing. You must have a .input-field div wrapping your input and label. This helps our jQuery animate the label. This is only used in our Input and Textarea form elements.
The validate class leverages HTML5 validation and will add a valid and invalid class accordingly. If you don't want the Green and Red validation states, just remove the validate class from your inputs.
If you are having trouble with the labels overlapping prefilled content, Try adding class="active" to the label.
You can add an icon prefix to make the form input label even more clear. Just add an icon with the class prefix before the input and label.
Textareas allow larger expandable user input. The border should light up simply and clearly indicating which field the user is currently editing. You must have a .input-field div wrapping your input and label. This helps our jQuery animate the label. This is only u.
Textareas will auto resize to the text inside.
Select allows user input through specified options. Make sure you wrap it in a .input-field for proper alignment with other text fields. Remember that this is a jQuery plugin so make sure you initialize this in your document ready.
Radio Buttons are used when the user must make only one selection out of a group of items. The for attribute is necessary to bind our custom radio button with the input. Add the input's id as the value of the for attribute of the label.
Add radio buttons to a group by adding the name attribute along with the same corresponding value for each of the radio buttons in the group. Create disabled radio buttons by adding the disabled attribute as shown below.
Use checkboxes when looking for yes or no answers. The for attribute is necessary to bind our custom checkbox with the input. Add the input's id as the value of the for attribute of the label.
There are easy to use classes to help you align your content.
You can easily vertically center things by adding the class valign-wrapper to the container holding the items you want to vertically align.
These classes are for horizontally aligning content: .left-align, .right-align and .center-align.
Quickly float things by adding the class left or right to the element. !important is used to avoid specificity issues.
The hoverable is a hover class that adds an animation for box shadow as seen below. It can be used on most elements, but meant for use on cards.
Because Materialize overrides many of the default browser styles and elements, we provide the .browser-default class to revert these elements to their original state.
| Name of element | Reverted Style |
| UL | Bullet Points |
| SELECTL | Browser default select element |
| INPUT | Browser default input |
In material design, everything should have a certain z-depth that determines how far raised or close to the page the element is.
You can easily apply this shadow effect by adding a class="z-depth-2" to an HTML tag. Alternatively you can extend any of these shadows with Sass using @extend .z-depth-2. A z-depth-0 can be used to remove shadows from elements that have z-depths by default.
z-depth-0
z-depth-1
z-depth-2
z-depth-3
z-depth-4
z-depth-5
Footers are a great way to organize a lot of site navigation and information at the end of a page. This is where the user will look once they have finished scrolling through the current page or are looking for additional information about your website..
Note: We use flexbox to structure our html so that the footer is always on the bottom of the page. It is important to keep the structure of your page within the 3 HTML5 tags: < header>, < main>, < footer>


I created a non-functional login screen, mirrored as closely as possible to the mockup shown in the instructions.
I re-created the people page, and added a few Material Design touches. The filter is fully functional, allowing searches by User Id, User DisplayName, Location Id, Location Name, Role Id, and Role Name. The filter works by itself or with the dropdown that restricts the search category by specific search entities.
The data is retrieved using a NodeJS backend that I created (server.js). I utilized an Interface design pattern. Each data entity (UserData, RoleData, LocationData, etc) implements the Data interface since they have one property in common, the Id. This allowed me to make my rest calls generic enough for resuse.
I mocked data for several employees and then created a table to display them. Adding and deleting of schedules is functional as well as form validation which checks for existing user and department before assigning a schedule.
I used expansion panels to assist in grouping the users by role, and tables to aid in displaying the employee data. I also added a checkbox to restrict the results to the location of the user.
The most important thing for me in my career is growth. I aim for all kinds of growth -- whether it's skill, mental, financial, or emotional. Opportunities to rise to the challenge are pertinent to any avenue in life when you're aspiring to make it to the next level.
From reading about the position and after researching the company, I can tell that Deputy is definitely forward-thinking. Given the number of integrations and reasonable pricing that is offered for, I believe that things are solid and going in a positive direction. Being a language agnostic myself, I was happy to see that the position was looking for someone who was more of a polyglot.
I'm a solutionist by nature. I've navigated some of the toughest challenges anyone has ever had to face, and I've yet to encounter one I could not overcome. This passion for problem-solving is what led me to code. After my son was diagnosed with autism, I immediately started looking into things I could do to ensure he would be self-sufficient. That's when I found computer science. I intended to take up the major to teach my son how to code. What happened was something I didn't expect-- I found the career that I was meant to have. All we do is solve problems. I've never held a more rewarding job.

So this video showed up on our feed and I was confused at first. Now don't get me wrong, I was amazed at all the crazy stuff that these guys were doing on Pogo-Sticks but was still wondering why this video showed up. Then about 30 seconds into it, the music changed and they were playing our song "You Got To Feel It Tonight"!
Now that's pretty cool. Suddenly I feel like my dream as a kid, to be one of the bands on the old Santa Cruz skateboard video "Wheels Of Fire" has been fulfilled in a way.


Screamshot
A synchronous HTTP screenshot service built on Sinatra and headless Chrome (via Ferrum).
Usage
Trigger a screenshot by making a GET
request to /screenshot
with a url
querystring parameter. The endpoint is protected by basic HTTP authentication with your AUTH_TOKEN
.
$ curl "http://AUTH_TOKEN@screamshot.dev/screenshot?url=http://example.com" > screenshot.png
Options
Pass options via querystring parameters. A more complicated Screamshot URL might be the following combination of available options:
http://AUTH_TOKEN@screamshot.dev/screenshot?url=http://example.com&viewport=800,600&full=true&scale=2&prefers-reduced-motion=reduce
URL
The URL to capture. The only required parameter.
url=http://example.com
Window / viewport size
Control the size of the viewport with WIDTH,HEIGHT
. Defaults to 1024,768
.
viewport=800,600
Full-screen
Capture the entire page instead of just the viewport. Defaults to false
.
full=true
Scale (devicePixelRatio
)
This mimics devicePixelRatio
and scales the viewport so scale=2
combined with viewport=800,600
results in a 1600×1200 image. Defaults to 1
.
scale=2
prefers-reduced-motion
Force the browser into prefers-reduced-motion=reduce
mode. This can be used as a standards-based hint to the page not to use animations. Defaults to nothing and so is not enabled.
prefers-reduced-motion=reduce


Are I'm a Celeb getting new arrivals tonight? This Morning digs for BTS info
I’m a Celebrity’s camp could be about to get bigger with the tease of potential new arrivals on This Morning.
Alison Hammond and John Barrowman have flown over to Australia for behind-the-scenes info and featuring on spin-off Extra Camp.
So naturally, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield couldn’t resist asking the question on everyone’s lips – are we about to see
The usually chatty pair then went quiet before Allison teased: ‘To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to find out a little bit of gossip. I’ve been going into offices, going into the galleries…but everything is literally on lockdown.’
Advertisement Advertisement
‘There are rumours but we don’t know anything, if I’m honest,’ she added. ‘I have tried.’
‘All the boards on the walls about what’s happening – you can kind of look, but it’s all kept very undercover, very secretive,’ John added. ‘So if it’s going to happen, it’s going to be a surprise not only to everyone in the camp, but to all of us watching.’
‘And everyone’s got codenames as well!’ added Allison.
It’s currently heavily rumoured that Andy Whyment (aka Kirk from Corrie) and Cliff Parisi (aka Minty from Eastenders) will be heading into the show as the final two campmates.
Show sources say that the pair will be joining the show together at some point in the next week.
The two actors will join a camp that has already been through a lot, after the opening episode saw the contestant face bugs, sweat (if it’s medically possible, some people can’t) and tears.
Tonight’s episode will see the luxury (if you can call it that camp) and the basic camp finally come together – after one more bushtucker trial that sees celebs have their heads trapped in globes.

Benchmark¶
Urokinase¶
Urokinase is a serine protease was originally isolated from human urine, and it is also present in the blood and in the extracellular matrix of many tissues. The primary physiological substrate of this enzyme is plasminogen, which is an inactive form (zymogen) of the serine protease plasmin. Activation of plasmin triggers a proteolytic cascade that, depending on the physiological environment, participates in thrombolysis or extracellular matrix degradation.
Ligands: We benchmark 5 different inhibitors starting from docking position with QM charges
239 (40 nM)
7UP (59 nM)
4UP (610 nM)
675 (628 nM)
1UP (637 nM)
2UP (5910 nM)
Results:
Progesterone Receptor¶
Progesterone is necessary to induce the progesterone receptors. When no binding hormone is present the carboxyl terminal inhibits transcription. Binding to a hormone induces a structural change that removes the inhibitory action. Progesterone antagonists prevent the structural reconfiguration.
Ligands: We benchmark 5 different inhibitors starting from docking position with QM charges
STR (50 nM)
400 (68 nM)
AS4 (248.5 nM)
HCY (4499 nM)
356 (50000 nM)
Results:
ERK2¶
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) is also known as “extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2” (ERK2). Extracellular signal–regulated kinases (ERKs) or classical MAP kinases are widely expressed protein kinase intracellular signalling molecules that are involved in functions including the regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells. Many different stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, virus infection, ligands for heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors, transforming agents, and carcinogens, activate the ERK pathway.
Ligands: We benchmark 5 different inhibitors starting from docking position with QM charges
E63 (15.1 nM)
EK6 (18.1 nM)
EK9 (20 nM)
EK2 (812.8 nM)
EK3 (2570 nM)
Results:
COMT¶
La Catecol-O-metiltransferasa es una de las varias enzimas que degradan las catecolaminas (tales como la dopamina, adrenalina y noradrenalina) en los seres humanos. Debido a que la regulación de las catecolaminas se encuentra alterada en varias condiciones médicas, se han desarrollado varias drogas terapéuticas que hacen diana sobra la COMT con el objetivo de alterar su actividad y por lo tanto modificar la biodisponibilidad de las catecolaminas.
Ligands: We benchmark 2 extremely different receptor conformation with 3 ligands each
- COMT (1)
6P2 (75 nM)
6P1 (86 nM)
6OZ (1100 nM)
- COMT (2)
6P5 (11000 nM)
6OW (85000 nM)
6P4 (80000 nM)
Results:
Plami¶
Plasmin is an important enzyme (EC <IP_ADDRESS>) present in blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins, including fibrin clots. The degradation of fibrin is termed fibrinolysis. In humans, the plasmin protein is encoded by the PLG gene. Plasmin deficiency may lead to thrombosis, as clots are not adequately degraded.
Ligands: We benchmark 5 similar inhibitors with very narrow activity range (almost inside the experimental range of error) starting from docking position with QM charges
L01 (7 microM)
L02 (5 microM)
L03 (4 microM)
L06 (5 microM)
L07 (7.3 microM)
L15 (6.9 microM)
Results:
EPHB¶
Eph receptors (Ephs, after erythropoietin-producing human hepatocellular receptors) are a group of receptors that are activated in response to binding with Eph receptor-interacting proteins (Ephrins). Ephs form the largest known subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Both Eph receptors and their corresponding ephrin ligands are membrane-bound proteins that require direct cell-cell interactions for Eph receptor activation. Eph/ephrin signaling has been implicated in the regulation of a host of processes critical to embryonic development including axon guidance, formation of tissue boundaries, cell migration, and segmentation.
Ligands: We benchmark 5 different inhibitors with very narrow activity range starting from docking position with QM charges
L01 (2 microM)
L02 (77 microM)
L03 (580 microM)
L04 (1150 microM)
L05 (20490 microM)
L16 (41000 microM)
Results:
As we can see results are pretty bad for EPBH. By looking at the PMF of the system automatically produced by the software we can observe a strong outlier outside the binding site. By inspection we can realize that the ligand get trap near the two magnesium coordinating the protein in another pocket. Probable, a forcefield artefact due to magnesium are parametrized as two +2 ions.

RIDICULE A film review by Froilan Vispo Copyright 1997 Froilan Vispo
***1/2 out of ****
RIDICULE does very admirably with such a dangerous premise: being a film about a world where wit is the most-prized talent, and the absence of a skillful comeuppance condemns one to the outskirts. Indeed, the film opens with a man who has returned to France to exact revenge upon the now-helpless wit whose one wisecrack had caused him to flee, and although his revenge is wordless, it is certainly a base one and a fitting beginning to this film, underscoring the importance of the game to its players and the lengths they will go to in order to have the final word.
The setting is the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and the air strains with the expectation of daggers with each utterance. Here, adept repartee, or lack thereof, passed on through the ranks of the courtiers, fashions one's reputation, so regret is expressed for days on end for those witty remarks thought of too late and notes are made of witticisms which are then classified into categories for later reference and practice.
Baron Ponceludon de Malavoy (Charles Berling) rides off to this royal court with his sincere hope that his king will hear him and dispense funds for the baron's project to drain the swamps of his homeland in the outskirts and hence save his subjects from disease. Ponceludon is oblivious to the rules, however, and finds himself under the care of the Marquis de Bellegarde (Jean Rochefort) who mistakes his sincerity for pointed humour, and is soon advising the baron on how he may devise his rise through the ranks. The upwardly-mobile Ponceludon soon finds himself between the woman he loves, Mathilde (Judith Godreche), the marquis's daughter, who, like the baron, sacrifices something of herself when she chooses to marry for money to finance her studies in underwater diving, and the woman who will most advance his own cause, the Madame de Blayac (Fanny Ardant), who is well-connected to the king and well-rehearsed in the machinations of the court.
RIDICULE's script is certainly the first among its many strengths: well-honed, intelligent and engaging - comeuppances come aplenty and unexpectedly. The character's aspirations and successes become our own, we become glad that the failures of others are not ours, and with their stumbles of those who have gained our sympathy recognize the cruelty of the game.
The game is a double-edged sword, however. When deaf and mute students learning sign language are presented to an audience of courtiers, the latter's initial agreement to ridicule the students' gestures and inability to use words becomes an awareness of their own exclusion from the richness of signs and from this exclusive community, and the revelation of the transparency of words. In this world where words are mightier than swords and many are willing to dance along the sharp edge of the blade, this recognition of the emptiness of what they value is sharp rebuke indeed. Too few films dare to assume an intelligent audience, and RIDICULE is one of these too infrequent pleasures.

We are a group of people devoted to make low consumption technologies to standard in all cars. We seen it is not a dream and for unknown reasons the car companies refuse to include those technology is new cars.
Me and my friends, many times, treat to achieving high MPG like an art -
We believe that it is wrong to ruin our planet for couple of dollars.
We think that it is illogical to take 1.5 ton of steel every time someone drives to work, but this is the reality and we work to make things better.
Oil is running out and no real alternative is near, prices jump up and down like rutted rabbit. A change must come and fast.


Toy gun with laser sight
The other day I spotted a plastic dart gun at the 100 JPY shop, big model "magnum" they said. It works surprisingly fine and shoots accurately at 4 meters range.
And there the geek kicks in : reminds me I bought a dozen of red laser diodes for 5 usd a few months ago, got some 5.1v Zener diodes too, a few second hand CR2032 Li-Ion coin battery, a simple contact switch from a DVD, 1 hour to spare... see where this is going?
Simplest circuit, using a Zener diode for
voltage regulator to limit voltage at 5.1v (got a 7v from the stacked 2 coin cell battery).
① poor man 2x coin cell ② Zener diode ③ the tact switch is on the outside of the gun ④ the 5v laser diode
Notice the Zener in revert position, that's because you want the Zener effect to guarantee you a 5.1V

Taoiseach lays wreath in Enniskillen on Remembrance Sunday
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has laid a green laurel wreath on Remembrance Sunday in Enniskillen.
In November 1987, an IRA Poppy Day blast in the Co Fermanagh lakeland town killed 12 and injured 68.
Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith and DUP leader Arlene Foster also placed floral tributes at the town’s war memorial.
The deputy US counsel general in Belfast left a wreath which quoted former US president Ronald Reagan.
It said: “Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply.
“It has a cost, it imposes a burden.
“And just as they whom we commemorate were willing to sacrifice, so too must we – in a less final, heroic way – be willing to give of ourselves.”
Veterans from both sides of the Irish border attended.
Crowds packed the narrow street around the memorial.
Wreaths were left by RAF air cadets, the commanding officer of the Royal Dragoon Guards from Catterick Garrison in Yorkshire, a Regimental Association of the Royal Irish Regiment, the local council, Ulster Unionist Party, the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Regimental Association and Mrs Foster.
She wrote: “In proud and grateful remembrance of all those who made the supreme sacrifice.”
The IRA bomb detonated during the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in 1987.
Eleven people were killed in the bombing. A 12th, Ronnie Hill, went into a coma and died 13 years later. The Queen and then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher sent their sympathies.
The Ballyreagh Silver Band, who played at the 1987 Remembrance Sunday ceremony, provided music for this year’s ceremony.
On Remembrance Day 1997, former Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams apologised for the bombing.
In 2012, Enda Kenny became the first Taoiseach to attend Enniskillen’s Remembrance Sunday ceremony, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the blast.
It is the second time Mr Varadkar has taken part in the event, and the eighth year that the Government has been represented.
The Taoiseach also read a prayer at a service in St Macartin’s Cathedral.

King Street tax office again closed over air quality complaints
The Tax Office located on King Street in downtown Kingston has again been closed because of noxious fumes.
Speaking with The Gleaner, Chief Corporate Communications Officer at Tax Administration Jamaica, Meris Haughton, indicated that this morning staff complained about the air quality inside the building with reports of persons falling ill.
Haughton says a decision was taken to evacuate the building in the interest of safety.
She said talks were held with the building’s landlord where it was disclosed that work was carried overnight inside the premises and that fumes from the material made its way into the air conditioning system.
Haughton says further discussions will be held with the landlord today on the way forward.
She says the building is being aired out and it is likely, following an assessment, that it will remain closed for the rest of the day.
Two weeks ago, the building had to be evacuated because of noxious fumes.
At that time, Haughton said the fumes emanated from a garbage truck that became trapped and circulated inside the building.

it matches up PBRT Shader Node's properties with Principled BSDF properties.
If Hyperspectral Texture Node is connected to the PBRT Shade Node's Kr Socket, Material Match button will transfrom the hyperspectral texture
to sRGB texture and assigns it to Principled BSDF's base color via Image Texture Node. Besides, this button will create Mapping and Texture Coordinate
node for users to change the sRGB texture scale and offset.


Hedge fund giant Leon Cooperman pulled back large stakes he had in some of America's biggest banks and took a big position in energy exploration in the second quarter, according to his latest regulatory findings.
At least two brokerages downgraded the company's stock and four others cut their price targets.
Groupon's original high-margin business, which promotes to its members heavily discounted daily deals on behalf of retailers, is showing signs of slowing. This has pushed the company to expand into new areas such as consumer product sales and merchant services, which have much lower margins.

Sarah Flak is a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) and is the founder and owner of Behavioral Beginnings, LLC, which is located in Irving, Texas. Sarah received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Spanish from the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas. Sarah then received her Master's Degree in Education from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. Sarah started her career with the DFW Center for Autism, where she worked for five years. After receiving her Master's Degree, Sarah left the DFW Center for Autism and started Behavioral Beginnings.
{% endblock %} {% block services %}As a person who has a sibling with a disability, Sarah understands how frustrating it can be to get your brother or sister to play with you! Sarah conducts ABA sessions incorporating all of your children teaching play, imitation and conversation. She will also teach typical siblings how to "adapt" play so all children can be involved and successful.
Sarah had four years of training at the only ABA based, inclusive preschool in Texas. Her training centered on teaching appropriate language usage, engaging with the environment and socializing with others. Sarah is very skilled at working with students 18 months to five years of age and teaching them the skills they will need to be successful in Kindergarten.
Sarah has the unique ability to successfully incorporate educational objectives into daily activities and natural settings. She utilizes student's interests and follows their lead to keep motivation high. Using this naturalistic approach to ABA improves generalization and creates more meaningful and varied language.
Sarah has been very successful at teaching toileting, bike riding, tooth brushing, dressing and other daily skills with students.
Sarah is very skilled at using video to give feedback to both parents and other professionals to ensure consistency of treatment across settings.
Sarah worked with our son, Dylan, from the 1st day of our home ABA program and we look back now and realize how lucky we were to have found her.
Dylan's face lit up every time Sarah came to the door because her therapy was so fun!
I'm not sure Dylan even realized how much she was teaching him every day and it was a lot. He is in a typical 3rd grade class now and a happy boy. A lot of his success was due to Sarah who will always be a special part of our family.
Sarah has a unique ability to quickly incorporate environment and people into our son, Danny's, therapy.
Allison is our six-year-old daughter. She was very curious about the therapy, asked lots of questions, and sought attention.
Sarah turned a potential distraction into a key component of the therapy. Sarah would use Allison to model behaviors for Daniel, which accelerated his growth tremendously.
Allison enjoyed helping Sarah and Danny and still uses the techniques she learned from Sarah when interacting with her brother.
Some people have a tremendous love for children.
Some people have a remarkable ability to teach.
Some people have unyielding patience and immeasurable determination to help the children who need it most.
Sarah Flak has all of this and more.
She has a natural talent for working with children with autism and similar developmental disabilities. My son, a six-year-old beautiful child with autism, adores her. And so does his family.

Default behavior is showing servers and most of them is just ending.Maybe something that: show servers with at least 50% tickets to the end.

Not possible without doing much requests to the battlelog backend.
So rejected, BBLog doesn't support features than can increase server load of battlelog.

Welcome to a short instructional page on how to use HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It was first seen in 1991 when it was first mentioned by Tim Berners-Lee under "HTML Tags". HTML is mainly a markup language that web browsers use to interpet and compose text, audio, images and more.
Here's a peak into the evolution of HTML!
- HTML 2: First seen on November 24 1995. Tables weren't introduced until May of 1996. Imagine not being able to create a table until a year later. So unorgainized *faints*.
- HTML 3: We first saw this on January 14 of 1997. One year after the best year most of man-kind has seen. HTML3.2 was first published as a W3C Reccomendation. It was the first version developed adn stadardized by W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium). HTML 3.2 dropped math formulas, and solved issues among various extensions.
- HTML 4: This one has a lot of significant dates. On December 18th 1997, HTML 4.0 was published by W3C Reccomendation. It was initially code named Cougar. It adopted browser elements and attributes, while phasing outNetscape visual mark-up. After HTML 4.01, there was no new version of HTML for many years. This may be due to laziness, maybe, only God knows.
- HTML 5: We've now come full circle. I ("the creater" *he says in an english accent*) have been using this method of creation for about two weeks. I'm not that good yet. If you can't do better, your opinion doesn't matter (in this case, in other cases it might #positivity). HTML 5 was first published on October 28th, 2014.
For more information, read a book!
On this page you'll learn how to use HTML in a basic sense. I'll make it easy for you! You'll see how a normal HTML page is structured, and the language's features. We might even play with HTML a little!
What you'll need to do this is:
- A good Attitude! We don't need negative Nancys, or Nazis but that's a given.
- You need a brain. If you have one of these, click here!
- A computer! You also have to know how to use it. you got here so you should be fine!
To get started in HTML, lets try and easy peice of code. Enter this in the Code window!
Hello World!! :)
I wish you good luck as you start this journey young grasshopper. (*bows*)
From the previous photo we can see that the main parts of code are:
- The Opening Tag: This consists of the name of the element enclosed in angled brackets. This shows us where the element starts
- The Closing Tag: This is the same as the opening tag, except that it includes a forward slash before the element name. This states where the element ends. I copied this right the article "Getting Started with HTML", so it's not plagiarism, I think. Don't tell the cops!
- The Content: Basically what's in the element.
- The Element: The whole package of the opening tag, the closing tag, and the content. Simple like the famous Bahamian cuisine "chicken in the bag". It's literally just chicken in a bag, it's really good!
Try these code chucks, change them because plagiarism is a thing. I'll know if you don't the Government monitors us all! If you doubt this, play this! If you're smart you'll get the reference. If not refer to me!.
Anyway try these chunks!
This chunk just has standard code!
Hello World: Part 2!! The Reckoning >:]
This one has some style. Now your text is green!
style{
p{color: green}
}
Hello World: Part 2!! The Reckoning >:]
Some more fun! Now you'll be changing the font!
style{
p{color: green}
font-family: "Brush Script MT"
}
Hello World: Part 2!! The Reckoning >:]
Now the clincher!
style{
p{color: green}
font-family: "Brush Script
MT"
font-size: 200px;
}
Hello World: Part 2!! The Reckoning >:]
Today we'll just be going through some simple attributes. Here's a photo example!
Attributes are totally cool. They can totally change the dynamic of the projects that you work! Here are some fun examples of attributes:
- You can add an anchor (a) to your project to not only link different pages, but also different parts of your pages to your project. Very fun!
- You can also use boolean attributes. These attributes allow you to see when certain criteria is active. I can really spruce things up!
This is where I got my information. If you don't trust me, you can look this up too!

Material icons
PROFI comes with Font Awesome and Material Icons icon sets and an Icon component to easily control their colouring and sizing.
Material icons are delightful, beautifully crafted symbols for common actions and items. Download on desktop to use them in your digital products for Android, iOS, and web.
How to use
Material design system icons are simple, modern, friendly, and sometimes quirky. Each icon is created using Google’s design guidelines to depict in simple and minimal forms the universal concepts used commonly throughout a UI. Ensuring readability and clarity at both large and small sizes, these icons have been optimized for beautiful display on all common platforms and display resolutions.
It’s easy to incorporate icons into your web page. Here’s a small example:
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
This example uses a typographic feature called ligatures, which allows rendering of an icon glyph simply by using its textual name. The replacement is done automatically by the web browser and provides more readable code than the equivalent numeric character reference.
Styling icons
These icons were designed to follow the material design guidelines and they look best when using the recommended icon sizes and colors. The styles below make it easy to apply our recommended sizes, colors, and activity states.
/* Rules for sizing the icon. */
.material-icons.md-18 { font-size: 18px; }
.material-icons.md-24 { font-size: 24px; }
.material-icons.md-36 { font-size: 36px; }
.material-icons.md-48 { font-size: 48px; }
/* Rules for using icons as black on a light background. */
.material-icons.md-dark { color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54); }
.material-icons.md-dark.md-inactive { color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.26); }
/* Rules for using icons as white on a dark background. */
.material-icons.md-light { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1); }
.material-icons.md-light.md-inactive { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3); }


My Journey to coding has been an uncommon one but that seems to be
the story for many aspiring developers nowadays. My story begins in finance. I graduated college with a
Bachelor's in Business Administration. I went on to work at the financial firm where I interned and so
began my journey to find my passion. I worked in finance for a number of years until I decided to follow my
true passion and pursue a career in law. This meant applications and the LSAT. Once I decided this was my
true calling I started looking beyond finance and found another job at what I thought was a law firm and
ended up being a sports agency. I took the chance as the opportunity was too good to pass up and so begun
my long career in baseball. The law school thing didn't pan out and I decided to put all my focus into my
new demanding job. At times even while working here I was still lacking the mental stimulation I craved of
constantly learning and being able to use new technologies and keep up with the times. Baseball,
unfortunately is still set in it's ways. I left this job in January of 2017 with no future plans other than
possibly land a job where I felt good about the work and better yet could be exposed to and learn new
things. 6 months to the day I quit I started at Adobe and here I am!

My first bootcamp homework assignment
I remember the enthusiasm and work I put into getting this to look just like the picture that was in
our homework file. I felt accomplished doing so and I was still conquering my nemesis "GitHub"
This assignment was pretty challenging as my JQuery isn't up to par. I was impressed I finally got
the new button appended from the input box but couldn't wrap my brain around getting the API to
respond to the new button and have gifs show up
This assignment was pretty challenging. Moment.js gives us all the necessary functions but going
through them to get the exact calculation does take work. The firebase connection seemed to be the
easiest task for this project but this did teach me the importance of syntax as leaving off one #
kept me getting an error message that took me a while to find. overall it was fun and very educating.
This was my first group project. In this specific project we came together to help people who needed
vacant spaces and venues with spaces to rent find each other. My specific focus on this project was
the firebase. I set up the database, storage and worked up the code for it to work! It was tough and
challenging but very rewarding!
This project was a bit difficult to navigate. Building the survey and getting the different routes
per page was a challenging experience. In the end getting it to work was very satisfying.
This app made me hungry but other than that it was great. It was challenging as it took me weeks to
get the api routes routing correctly and that was a nightmare. I started from scratch many times and
finally got it and it made me feel extremely accomplished. I welcome the challenge when something
just makes me think about it non-stop Deploying to Heroku has now gotten smoother after messing with
hamburgers.
This was my second group project. In this specific project we came together to help students like
us. We created a homework slackbot with a corresponding admin page. This allows students to easily
type in slash commands with the week's assignment to find out when it's due and get a corresponding
zip file of the assignment. The admin page allows TA's to update the assignments seamlessly via
computer or mobile. They can also add or delete assignments from this site. This project was fun and
challenging as I took on the authentication portion. It's tricky as I first got it up and running
with EJS and mid project realized it didn't work nicely with Handlebars so I had to scrap the use of
EJS altogether and make it work.

--- title: Product Insights Through Trelliscope thumbnail: "/img/trelliscope_img.png" author: Sunita Kenner date: '2017-06-30' slug: product-insights-through-trelliscope categories: - Business Science - Product Insights - Visualizations tags: - trelliscopejs - R - multiple displays ---
Note: The trelliscope plot displays with blogdown would not have been possible without Yihui Xie’s lightning fast help. Not only did he implement the fix (in an afternoon), but documented/provided 2 options to fixing the trelliscope display issue. Thank you so much Yihui.
One of the impressive presentations at Jan 2017 RStudio Conference was Ryan Hafen’s trelliscopejs R package in action: Visualization in the Tidyverse. “TrelliscopeJS is a framework for creative interactive displays of small multiples”, and this is incredibly powerful when providing insights on product lines to decision makers.
User will be able to use the Sort
, Filter
, Labels
, and Grid
tabs to gain further insights from the data. A powerful way to dig deeper into data without having to produce several seperate plots. The display can be viewed full screen using the toggle @ right-hand corner.
Using nest()
in tidyverse
, rbokeh
and trelliscope
Trellis_Data1 <- Product_df_1 %>%
group_by(Products, Month, region) %>%
mutate(Unit.Cost = mean(Unit.Cost))
Trellis_Data2 <- Trellis_Data1 %>%
group_by(Products, region) %>%
mutate(industry_most = names(tail(sort(table(industry)), 1)))
Trell_plot <- Trellis_Data2 %>%
dplyr::group_by(Products, Month, region, industry_most) %>%
dplyr::summarise(Qty = sum(Qty), Amt = sum(Amount), ASP = Amt/Qty) %>%
group_by(Products, region) %>%
nest() %>%
mutate(panel = map_plot(data,
~ figure(toolbar = NULL, xlim = c(4.5, 12.5), ylim = c(21.5, 101)) %>%
ly_points(Month, ASP, hover = .x[1:3], data = .x)
))
Trell_plot %>% trelliscope(name = "ASP_Month", nrow =2, ncol = 4, width = 500, path = blogdown::dep_path())
The one variable I was not seeing on the display to sort and filter by was industry
. Please see note from Ryan Hafen for an explanation as to why the variable cannot be used for display, and what can be done to address it.
Trellis_Data1 %>%
group_by(Products, region) %>%
summarise(uniq_industry = length(unique(industry)))
To add additional variables to a display to sort and filter on, those variables just need to be present in the data. If it’s a numeric variable, a summary statistic (mean) will be computed. If it’s categorical, like
industry
, then the variable can only be included if it is constant within each panel (each panel can have a set of scalar metrics to sort and filter on - these cannot be vectors). Theindustry
variable cannot be used in the above display because it is not unique within each combination ofProducts
andregion
. You could create a new variable that is the most prominent industry for eachProducts
/region
combination and then it would be automatically included.
Trellis_Data2 <- Trellis_Data1 %>%
group_by(Products, region) %>%
mutate(industry_most = names(tail(sort(table(industry)), 1)))
Trellis_Data2
## # A tibble: 888 x 10

## # ... with 878 more rows, and 2 more variables: industry <fct>,
## # industry_most <chr>
Using qplot
and facet_treplliscope
#Does not work because of ggplot2
install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)
qplot(Month, Unit.Cost, data = Trellis_Data2) +
xlim(4.5, 12.5) + ylim(21.5, 101) +
facet_trelliscope(~ Products + region, nrow = 2, ncol = 4, width = 500, path = blogdown::dep_path("rmarkdown_files/Unitcost_vs_Month_gg"))
There will be future posts on gaining powerful multiple insights from displays of small multiples.
Thanks again for all your help Yihui & Ryan. Appreciate the time and effort you’ve spent in helping me resolve some of the issues I encountered while using the package.

But when good befell them they said: This is due to us. And when evil afflicted them, they attributed it to the ill-luck of Moses and those with him. Surely their evil fortune is only from Allah, but most of them know not. |

But whenever good befell them, they said: This is ours; and whenever evil smote them they ascribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and those with him. Surely their evil auspice was only with Allah. But most of them knew not. |
| 007:131 Rashad | : |
When good omens came their way, they said, "We have deserved this," but when a hardship afflicted them, they blamed Moses and those with him. In fact, their omens are decided only by GOD, but most of them do not know. |

But they would always ascribe their well-being to themselves and the misfortunes that they would experience to Moses and his people. Their fate is certainly in the hands of God but many of them do not know. |

But when good befell them they said: This is due to us; and when evil afflicted them, they attributed it to the ill-luck of Musa and those with him; surely their evil fortune is only from Allah but most of them do not know. |

But whenever good befell them, they said, 'This is for us.' And if evil afflicted them, they ascribed the evil fortune to Moses and those with him.  But most of them know not. |

But when good (times) came, they said, "This is due to us;" When gripped by calamity, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens of evil are theirs in Allah's sight, but most of them do not understand! |

From:Botello To:Geaccone Sent:2017-01-11T04:35:57.0000000Z Subject:FW: Activity Rates for 2002
FYI!
-----Original Message-----
From: Baker, Lee
Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2001 9:32 PM
To: Chandler, Bob
Cc: Lin, Judy; Botello, Mary; Apodaca, Vera; Prendergast, Pat; Concklin, Elaine
Subject: FW: Activity Rates for 2002
The ETS standard activity types and their corresponding rates were set at the time of the SAP go live, in July 2000. With the labor true-up process in place it really does not matter what the standard rates are; at month end the standard rate used when someone exception codes, is trued-up to actual. During the month you can have a variance before the true-up takes place. From an O&M standpoint ETS does not utilize the real time reporting feature of SAP due to our cost allocation model. IF Project Systems is being utilized to manage real-time project costs, during the month, a variance will always exist prior to true up. Routine rate review and maintenance will limit the variance.
My recommendation is that if adjustments are made they should be coordinated at the ETS consolidated level. At the time of the SAP implementation Allison Milan conducted a study across the different companies and Accounting set the rates with the participation of HR. Since going live with SAP the integrity of the ETS standard activity types and their corresponding rates and their application to all cost centers has not been maintained because there is not central control point for this process.
Theoretically they should now be off by the merit increase in 2001. Each year at merit time would be the logical time to make adjustments to the rates. An option would be to wait until 2002 merit time and make adjustments based on 2001 and 2002 merit results. It would also be a good time to synchronize all of the ETS "F" cost centers with the same rates.
If I can provide any additional help, please let me know. Thanks.
This is to inform you that the activity rates have been copied from December 2001 to all periods in 2002. Please validate for your business unit and notify me with any issues. If you need to make adjustments to the rates you may also proceed with that process.
These rates need to be validated prior to Jan 1 to ensure a smooth transition. Please respond back to this email when complete.
This is a follow-up to the email sent several weeks ago concerning activity rate planning for 2002.
I have begun the process of copying the existing rates planned for December of 2001 to all periods in 2002. I am currently thru period 5, 2002 and expect to be complete with period 6, 2002 by late today.
Requested actions:
1. After we are complete it will be the responsibility of each business unit to go in and confirm data and nofity me of any issues. I expect to be complete by Wednesday of next week which will give you at least a month to review.
2. Also, please notify me if there are any additional changes to the primary and secondary contact list for your business unit. I have made the changes that I have received at this point and the current distribution reflects those changes.
Look for a note from me next week that signals completion of the data copy. If you would like to begin reviewing data thru period 5 please do so.
Thanks, Paul

Prior to using these functions a handle to the device has to be obtained. This
is done with the dio_open
function. After use, the handle should be
released with the dio_close
function.
dhandle_t __fastcall__ dio_open (unsigned char device);
The device
specifies the device to access, with 0 being the first
device, 1 the second, and so on.
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_close (dhandle_t handle);
Closes a handle obtained by dio_open
. Returns status code.
The read and write functions are:
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_read (dhandle_t handle,
unsigned sect_num,
void *buffer);
This function will read the sector specified by sect_num
into the memory
location at buffer.
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_write (dhandle_t handle,
unsigned sect_num,
const void *buffer);
This function will write the memory contents at buffer to the sector specified
by sect_num
. No verify is performed.
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_write_verify (dhandle_t handle,
unsigned sect_num,
const void *buffer);
This function will write the memory contents at buffer to the sector specified
by sect_num
. A verification is performed.
Use the
dio_query_sectsize
function to query
the size of a sector and the
dio_query_sectcount
function to query the number of available sectors.
All these functions will return 0 for success and an OS specific error code in case of failure.
Some systems support multiple diskette formats which have different sector sizes and/or different sector counts.
The following function returns the sector size of the currently inserted disk:
unsigned __fastcall__ dio_query_sectsize (dhandle_t handle);
On the Atari platform, the sector size is handled specially. Please refer to the DIO section in the Atari-specific platform documentation.
The following function returns the sector count of the currently inserted disk:
unsigned __fastcall__ dio_query_sectcount (dhandle_t handle);
Since the read and write functions expect a sector number, for systems where the sectors aren't addressed by a logical sector number (e.g. CBM devices), there are 2 conversion functions. One of them converts a logical sector number to a head/track/sector triple. The other conversion function works the other way round.
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_phys_to_log (dhandle_t handle,
const dio_phys_pos *physpos,
unsigned *sectnum);
This function converts track/head/sector to logical sector number.
unsigned char __fastcall__ dio_log_to_phys (dhandle_t handle,
const unsigned *sectnum,
dio_phys_pos *physpos);
This function converts a logical sector number to track/head/sector notation.
Note, that on systems which natively use logical sector numbers (e.g. Atari),
the conversion functions are dummies. They ignore head/track
(dio_phys_to_log
) or return them as zero (dio_log_to_phys
).
The logical sector number is returned as physical sector and vice versa.


In reality both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight however only one face of the Moon is ever seen from Earth. This is because the Moon rotates around on its own axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth, meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The side facing away from Earth has only been seen by the human eye from spacecraft.
There are two bulges in the Earth due to the gravitational pull that the Moon exerts; one on the side facing the Moon, and the other on the opposite side that faces away from the Moon, The bulges move around the oceans as the Earth rotates, causing high and low tides around the globe.
The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our planet every year. It is estimated that it will continue to do so for around 50 billion years. By the time that happens, the Moon will be taking around 47 days to orbit the Earth instead of the current 27.3 days.
The Moon has much weaker gravity than Earth, due to its smaller mass, so you would weigh about one sixth (16.5%) of your weight on Earth. This is why the lunar astronauts could leap and bound so high in the air.
The first man to set foot on the Moon in 1969 was Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission, while the last man to walk on the Moon in 1972 was Gene Cernan on the Apollo 17 mission. Since then the Moon has only be visited by unmanned vehicles.
This means that the surface of the Moon is unprotected from cosmic rays, meteorites and solar winds, and has huge temperature variations. The lack of atmosphere means no sound can be heard on the Moon, and the sky always appears black.
These are caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth. Lunar astronauts used seismographs on their visits to the Moon, and found that small moonquakes occurred several kilometres beneath the surface, causing ruptures and cracks. Scientists think the Moon has a molten core, just like Earth.
This was a Soviet craft, which was launched from the USSR. It passed within 5995 km of the surface of the Moon before going into orbit around the Sun.
NASA plans to return astronauts to the moon to set up a permanent space station. Mankind may once again walk on the moon in 2019, if all goes according to plan.
The secret project was during the height cold war was known as “A Study of Lunar Research Flights” or “Project A119” and meant as a show of strength at a time they were lagging behind in the space race.


There is a feature of F# this is incredibly powerful and rarely talked about: The Object Expression. It is such a simple idea that it is almost boring but the implications of it are profound. We often define an interface to abstract the implementation of an object so that we can code against different implementations. By programming against an IEnumerable
or IDictionary
, we can write algorithms which work against a host of different backing data structures. To use these abstractions, we implement the interface on our classes.
What if I told you that there is a different way? What if I told you it was possible to build objects in a Frankenstien style where we could define each member as we chose? This may sound a little odd but the freedom it gives you in testing is incredible. Before we dive deep into how we use Object Expressions, let’s talk about what they are.
Object Expression: What art thou?
Whenever I start working with a new developer, there are two things I stress with them when it comes to reasoning about F#.
- F# does not have variables, it has values$^1$
- Everything is an expression. Everything returns something, even if that something is nothing$^2$
These two ideas can cause some cognitive dissonance for imperative programmers used to C, C++, C# or their brethren. Those are great languages. The family of C languages and their imperative programming cousins just have a different philosophy. In imperitive programming you can just perform an action without it returning anything. In F#, something will always be returned because everything is an expression.
Alright, so I’ve established that F# has a different way of thinking. But what makes Object Expressions special? Well, if we were working in C# and we wanted to create an object which fulfilled an interface contract, we would need to declare that type and then implement the interface. Let’s declare an incredibly simple interface IAnimal
.
interface IAnimal
{
string Name
{
get;
}
double Size
{
get;
}
}
We have now declared an IAnimal
interface. If we want to work with an instance of it, we must define a class which implements this interface. Let us define a Chicken
class which implements this interface. Let’s assume that I want instances of this class to be immutable to protect against mutation. I’ll go ahead and make my life easier by using a C# 9.0 feature, Records.
public record Chicken : IAnimal
{
public string Name { get; }
public double Size { get; }
public Chicken(string name, double size) => (Name, Size) = (name, size);
}
Okay, I have an interface and now I have a class which implements that interface. If I want to play around with functions or methods that take that interface as an argument, I will need to create instances of Chicken
unless I want to declare another class which implements IAnimal
. For testing purposes I may define a MockAnimal
which has different behaviors. I may have to define several different MockAnimal
classes if I want test different behaviors.
So, this is all fine and doesn’t seem too cumbersome but the more complex the interface the more you will find yourself creating mock versions to test with. F# provides a different mechanism for implementing interfaces, the Object Expression! Let’s say we’ve abstracted the interaction with a database behind an IRepository
inteface. Let’s declare a silly IRepository
for storing and retrieving Pigs. Here’s that interface in F#.
type Pig = {
// Some fields which define a pig
}
type IRepository =
abstract member GetById : id:int64 -> Pig
abstract member Save : pig:Pig -> unit
Our interface has two methods. One for saving Pigs and one for retrieving Pigs by an Id. In both cases we could possibly get an exception due to the database not being available. If we were in C# and we wanted to work with this interface, we would need to define a class which implements this interface. What if we could just define an object which implements this interface out of thin air? Let me show you how to do that.
let geyById id = // A function in our domain that does the work of querying
let save (pig:Pig) = // A function in our domain that does the work of saving
let repository =
{ new IRepository with
member _.GetById id = getById id
member _.Save pig = save pig
}
What just happened? There are two functions in the domain which know how to do the work of retrieving and saving our pigs: getById
and save
. Instead of defining a new class, we said, “Hey F#, I want an object which fulfilles the IRepository
interface and I want you to use these functions to do it.” We don’t need to define a class; we can just make an object and bolt together functions to fulfill the IRepository
contract. I think of this as interface by Frankenstein assembly.
Buy Why Do I Care?
While that example may be cute, it may not wow you. Let’s talk where this is impactful: testing! One of the most difficult challenges we face when writing robust code is ensuring that our services both succeed when given clean inputs but also fail, the way we want them to. As a policy, we always write tests which confirm that the happy path works as intended and that the various failure modes are dealt with correctly.
This type of testing gets painful when you have external dependencies like databases or APIs that are outside your domain. You either must be able to stand up a mock version of the service in your CI/CD pipeline or implement mock versions of your classes just for testing. What if instead of that, we could create an object which behaved exactly as intended?
Let’s look at testing the IRepository
interface. I have abstracted out what the backing service is in the case. Let’s I want to verify that my business logic responds appropriately to a SqlException
. Rather than standing up a SQL Server instance and artificially creating a bad state, I’ll create an object that behaves exactly how I want it.
let mockRepository =
{ new IRepository with
member _.GetById id = raise (new SqlException())
member _.Save pig = ()
}
This mockRespository
will always raise a SqlException
and will appear to be successful any time I call the Save
method. I can have my mock repository behave any way that I want by just swapping out different functions to give the desired behavior. I don’t have to define a new class each time I want slightly different behavior. Where this gets even more exciting is when you are trying to test failure modes which involve multiple external services. It is relatively easy to abstract all of them behind interfaces and the construct mock instances that will behave exactly as intended.
I believe that the Object Expression feature in F# is really under appreciated. It makes it easy to create arbitrary implementations of interfaces. I am sure that it has utility outside of testing as well. I have found that it makes unit and property-based testing relatively painless. I hope this opens your eyes a little to how you can streamline your testing needs in F#.
$^1$ Technically it is possible to declare a variable in F#. You must add the
mutable
modifier to the declaration. The key point is that F# deals with values by default, not variables.
$^2$ When F# returns “nothing”, it returns the type
unit
. The key thing is that even an action which does not “seem” to return a value is still actually returning something. The implications are deeper than I have time for here. I encourage the curious to look into “Category Theory for Programmers” by Barstosz Milewski.
