REVIEW: CORPORATE ROCK
|

Rocking Rolling Stone
Set in the offices of a fictional Rolling Stone magazine, "Corporate Rock" is a very loose comedy about the pathetic state of mainstream music redeemed by some very funny screwball antics.
By JOSHUA TANZER Offoffoff.com
"It's better to burn out than to fade away," the house misfit mentions to the big boss at this fictionalized version of the Rolling Stone offices, and he's promptly told to quit quoting Hunter S. Thompson all the time. Thus has the onetime chronicle of the counterculture evolved to the MTV-ified present day.

Those who recognize the quote above (including most readers of this article, I hope) will also remember the other signature line from the same song: "Rock and roll will never die." Neil Young was probably in anthemic rather than ironic mode when he wrote those lyrics, or he might have foretold the actual death throes of rock and roll, which are what the show "Corporate Rock" is all about.
Over the top and under the top, overacted and underacted, ridiculously campy and occasionally earnest, William Bennett's play cranks out riff after comedic riff in the hopes that something in there will rock your world. Sometimes it does.
Dylan (Travis York), the misfit who is the magazine's last connection to the soul of rock and roll, squanders his days writing articles about bands with names like Underkill and the Knights Who Say Neat, which get filed away on the web site while the magazine's bigger names churn out repeated cover stories on Britney Spears and the plastic surgeons to the stars. (It's better to churn out than to fade away, you might say.) The closest thing he gets to a big break is the chance to edit the mag's star writer, Nathaniel Hunger (a permanently leering Jamie Benge), which actually means keeping him from falling out of his chair long enough to half-finish a piece of minimally publishable prose.
|
A cockamamie plot ensues in which something happens to make Nathaniel disappear, Dylan surreptitiously usurps his byline for the duration, and the whole thing is given a screwball wrapup involving a Russian call girl, French heavy-metal gangsters (huh?), and an argument about Def Leppard.
Whether any of this holds together as a convincing comedy, the play has a number of hilarious individual moments. Besides a few of Dylan's choicest pronouncements on the lame pop stars of the moment, there are several great visual gags (the handshakes alone are a hoot), and Aaron Haskell as a high-pitched white hip-hopper borders on the unintelligible but can be mad funny.
And somewhere behind the play's shenanigans is a message about the heat death of our cultural universe. The last time I read Rolling Stone was probably 18 years ago, when the likes of Phil Collins on the cover were already advertising the magazine's creeping irrelevance, so I can't say exactly how much more out of touch it may be today. But of course one magazine's failure of nerve doesn't mean rock and roll is really dead today's Hendrixes and Cobains have just been pushed back under the radar where, perhaps, they belong. Today's rock
"Corporate Rock" isn't the most eloquent takedown of our tepid mass culture, but most of the audience walked away well entertained. From director Timothy Haskell and some of the other talents behind last year's self-explanatorily raucous hit "Road House: the stage version of the cinema classic that starred Patrick Swayze Except This One Stars Taimak from the 80's Cult Classic 'the Last Dragon' wearing a Blonde Mullet Wig," it's another anything-goes tag-team mélée of a play, only this time with less fighting and more arguing about whose favorite band sucks. In more subject-appropriate terms, it's a play with one part Frank Zappa to every two parts Dweezil.

We examine recent construction techniques of Hadamard difference sets in 2-groups, looking for an extension of orthogonal building sets to nonabelian groups.
We present a GPU algorithm for performing convolution with decomposed tensor products. We experimentally find up to 4.85x faster execution times than Nvidia’s cuDNN for some tensors. This is achieved by extending recent advances in compression of CNNs through use of tensor decomposition methods on weight tensors.
For S, W ⊆ N, we say S forces W, denoted S |-> |_| W, if any positive definite quadratic form with integer matrix which represents every element of S over Z also represents every element of W over Z. In the context of a superset S*, S is referred to as a unique minimal forcing set of W if for any S0 ⊆ S* we have that S0 |-> |_| W if and only if S ⊆ S0. In 2000, Manjul Bhargava used his own novel method of "escalators" to prove the unique minimal forcing set of N is T = {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15}, which was a refinement of the celebrated Conway-Schneeberger Fifteen Theorem. The author uses Bhargava’s theory of escalators to establish several infinite familes of positive integers, interpreted as singletons in N, without unique minimal forcing sets in T. In this paper, these concepts are explored in greater detail.
In 2011, Samsung Electronics Co. filed a complaint against Apple Inc. for alleged infringement of patents described in US 7706348, which details several embodiments of a TFCI (Transport Format Combination Indicator) encoder for mobile communication systems. One of the primary embodiments in question was a [30,10,10] non-cyclic code which was implemented in many devices communicating on the 3-G network, including several Apple products. However, the derivation of the basis for this code is left rather vague in the patent documentation. In this paper, the explicit construction of a [30, 10, 10] cyclic code is detailed using methods described by F.J. MacWilliams and N.J.A. Sloane in their well-known text, "The Theory of Error-Correcting Codes." We also give a construction of an optimal [30,10,11] non-cyclic code, which is distinct from the conventional and well-known construction involving manipulations of an extended BCH code.
During the Fall of 2014, I conducted an independent study under the tutelage of Dr. Peter Abramenko. I wrote this paper as a summary of the material I learned. The material is derived from Dr. Abramenko's and Dr. Kenneth S. Brown's Buildings: Theory and Applications.
The purpose of this paper, written in 2014, is to discuss various properties and classes of integral domains, such as principal ideal domains (PID’s), unique factorization domains(UFD’s), and Euclidean domains. This was written for a senior seminar.
Here is a paper I wrote in 2014 on p-adic numbers as part of an honors Number Theory course and the Distinguished Major Program. I delivered a lecture on this topic. Given a polynomial f ∈ Z[x1, x2, . . . , xn], determing the existence of integral roots is a standard topic covered in an introductory number theory course. In this paper, we will extend our considerations to roots in Q. Using p-adic numbers, the existence of rational solutions can be readily acertained under select conditions, especially for quadratic forms
This paper is a survey of RSA encryption I wrote during my second year (2012). The RSA public key cryptosystem is a method of encryption which was made public in 1977. Named after its inventors, Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, the method relies on the fact that large integers, on the order of hundreds of digits, require an extraordinary amount of time for a computer to factor. This paper explores the general procedure for RSA encryption, as well as a look into tests of primality

If you have chlamydia a health professional will give you antibiotics. It's usually one of the following:
You might be given different antibiotics if you have an allergy, or you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you get tested by a health professional, they might give you antibiotics before you get your test results. This could happen if it's likely that you have chlamydia, for example you have symptoms.
 This is so you don't pass on the infection or get it again.
After you've finished the antibiotics, you should get tested again to check that the chlamydia infection is gone.

Hello!, Hola!, Bonjour!, Namaste!
I'm a student at IIT Jodhpur. With a major in Systems Science and a minor in Computer Science, I am in my senior year of college. I am deeply passionate about data science and machine learning and how they are changing the landscape of our worlds today.
Besides my technical (read nerdy) interests I am an amateur photographer and designer. I like to Run, Cook and Binge-watch whatever I can get my hands on.
I love to read books, and you would rarely catch me without one. I'm fascinated by the knowledge and wisdom that these little bundles of paper carry and strive to squeeze every ounce of it.
Being an Engineering student I look up to science for all the answers I yearn and this has weakened my belief in god over the years. An idea that has caught my attention recently is Atheism 2.0
Inspired by people like Derek Sivers , Tim Ferriss and Casey Neistat , I strive to live a better life by helping others and telling stories.

Certain icons make more sense to appear after the button's text label rather than before. This can be accomplished by putting the icon markup after the element with the mdc-button-label attribute.
NOTE: The mdc-button-label attribute is required in order for the trailing icon to be styled appropriately.
Material Design spec advises that touch targets should be at least 48 x 48 px. To meet this requirement, add the `touch` property.
Note that the outer mdc-touch-target-wrapper element is only necessary if you want to avoid potentially overlapping touch targets on adjacent elements (due to collapsing margins).

To the owner of a failed software project, there is little consolation that roughly forty to seventy out of every hundred other projects have also failed to meet their goals.
This sad math reflects a simple truth - delivering software solutions to hard business problems is, well... hard. Teams lacking sufficient technical skills are obviously doomed from the start. But a respectable lineup of developers merely gets you in the game. Projects making this first cut now must endure an onslaught of other challenges, from ambiguous requirements and unclear priorities to unrealistic schedules, poor communication, insufficient planning, and unmanaged risks. In other words, as a product owner embarking on a new assignment, the biggest threats to your success are not technical problems at all. At Relevance, we understand that software development is mostly a people problem.
This is why aside from employing an amazing group of developers, designers, and architects, most Relevance projects receive the direct attention of a Relevance coach to minimize the non-technical risks to your project, and to help great people accomplish great things.
So what exactly does a coach at Relevance do? A partial answer can be found in an episode of the Relevance podcast, but the conversation is sporadically interrupted by loud monkey noises (oddly not present at the time of the original recording). In true agile fashion we shall adapt and repeat, and our answer will focus on outcomes rather than activities. When clients ask us "What is the role of a coach at Relevance," we've found what they're really asking is "How will my project benefit by having a Relevance coach on the team?"
Saving you time and effort through efficient project management
As someone looking for a team to help grow your business, you've probably got a big problem, limited budget, and a tight timeline for finding a solution. And most likely you've got a lot of other very important things to do each day.
 As a busy product owner, having a Relevance coach on the job allows you to focus on the critical role of setting the course of the ship without the additional burden of monitoring and maintaining the complex propulsion, communication, and navigation systems required to complete your journey.
As an agile project manager, the Relevance coach saves you time and effort while achieving the necessary goals of transparent metrics, alignment between daily tasks and high-level goals, and protecting the unimpeded progress of the development team.
"But what if I have the project management expertise and time to devote to my project? Would I still want a Relevance coach on the team?"
For some projects, busy clients set broad targets and then connect with the development team for just a few minutes each day, trusting the Relevance coach as their near full time project manager. For others it may be a sliding scale of delegated responsibilities. For the most experienced and available clients, a Relevance coach serves to facilitate critical decisions such as changes to team priorities or core functionality. At these times, a Relevance coach enables the client to participate fully as product owner rather than project manager, to become an engaged passenger with someone else at the wheel until the matter is resolved.
There are also times where a Relevance coach will serve as proxy for product owners at both office and partner presentations, outlining plans and progress and gathering feedback for the team. Increasingly this role is extending to front line investigator and liaison with customers and executives alike.
Providing an objective perspective and minimizing risk
"I've spoken with other software consultancies who don't have coaches. Are their developers better than yours?"
This isn't about development expertise; it's about better overall outcomes. A Relevance coach on your project gives you a team catalyst, enabling a whole much greater than the sum of its parts. It means someone on your side with a dedicated, independent, and people-focused perspective - looking at the team and release in a different way.
Gil Broza in The Human Side of Agile describes the benefits of an 'agile team leader', though we believe a more accurate title is 'agile team enabler'. Broza notes that "by constantly observing the team's progress and learning about their hurdles, the leader can distinguish patterns, identify root causes, and stop small problems from growing into big ones." To accomplish this requires taking a birds-eye view of the situation, to focus on the big picture at all times.
"Why shouldn't one of the developers on the team play this role?"
Relevance developers are certainly capable of filling this critical role. At issue is whether this is the most cost-effective and efficient method to achieve your goals. Every moment spent by a developer preparing to facilitate a retrospective, discussing a shift in priorities with you, or evaluating upcoming staffing needs is a moment they are not delivering awesome software.
A developer in the role of coach would be by definition a part time responsibility. The "coach hat" and "developer hat" cannot be worn at the same time. To put their coach's hat on, a developer must temporarily leave the development team. Only computers are designed for multitasking. Human beings are only capable of switch-tasking, and switching between tasks is expensive.
Time spent context switching will come directly out of your project budget. Such teams can still be successful, but will have to be less efficient than those with a cleaner separation of roles.
As noted in "Resilience" by Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy, such "cognitive diversity" within teams has been shown to consistently achieve better results. Relevance coaches help developers and clients consider a wider range of options, raising previously unseen issues, and helping to guide the team out of jams when they occur. Software projects are inherently risky, and unexpected obstacles can rise up suddenly to block the team. Teams consisting of individuals with similar modes of thinking can excel when the path is smooth, but adding individuals providing alternative views has been shown again and again to catalyze better performing, more resilient teams that can adjust faster and more effectively to difficult terrain, dramatically lowering the risk to your project.
"Why shouldn't I play this role as the product owner?"
To answer this question, please note that one of the key players on the team is you. As the Relevance coach identifies strategies for better team performance, this includes an objective view of the actions and interactions between all team members, including the product owner and other client stakeholders at a level that would be extremely difficult through self-reflection alone. Similar to the developer's dilemma, to become a part time coach necessitates giving up your role as full time product owner. In which capacity would you provide the most value to the project and your business?
Stacking the deck in your favor
In its simplest form, having a Relevance coach on your project is a really smart and cost effective method of risk mitigation. On most projects I spend a lot of time both asking and answering questions, proposing plans and providing feedback, and uncovering inconsistencies in goals and execution. I facilitate resolution of misunderstandings and help frame difficult decisions. At times I play the role of counselor and trusted advisor to developers and clients alike, serving as both relief valve and sounding board. And I love it.
In the end, technical difficulties are rarely the cause of project failure. Project failure is really team failure. Teams are made of individuals, including developers, product owners, and other stakeholders. In theory, if each individual performs perfectly, the input (your problem) should produce the correct output (your solution). But these people are not just boxes on an org chart. Inside those hard candy exteriors each team member has a creamy human middle. Any friction in the system generates heat, and things get sticky.
Unless sufficient attention is paid to the machinery of the team, the smooth and continuous flow of information and intentions can become clouded and spotty. When this occurs, even highly skilled teams can become bogged down or burnt out and fail to reach their goals. This is the real secret of project failure, and how a Relevance coach can help your project be a success.

COPYCAT Murder by Any Other Name - C'est la "Meme" A film review by Gerard Martin Copyright 1995 Gerard Martin
Directed by : Jon Amiel Photographed by : Laszlo Kovacs. Written by : Ann Biderman and David Madsen Edited by : Alan Heim and Jim Clark Music by : Christopher Young. Starring : Sigourney Weaver, Harry Connick Jr., Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulroney, William McNamara, Will Patton
In Jon Amiel's film COPYCAT, a vicious and premeditated act of murder is more than a perfunctory plot concept, more than a cinematic reconstruction of a fatal event, and more than an immoral lethal act. Long before psychologist Helen Hudson, played by Sigourney Weaver, takes a magnifying glass to COPYCAT's first murder scene glossies, the act of murder is defined as something more elaborate than the mere slaying of a life.
Serial murder as the art of semi-ritualized killing would ordinarily be the movie's principal overriding theme if not for the unexpected presence of a possibly clandestine narrative element that finds its analog somewhere in the modern-day dint of a powerfully ubiquitous communication media infrastructure.
In today's rapid-transit communication environment, "media" is, after all, the plural of medium, and a copy of a copy is often far more than the double sum of its number. At some point, a copy or replication of thought, point of view, bias or prejudice becomes memetic--so many replicated components seeking to attach themselves to value systems of previously existing memes.
A "meme" is defined by cultural evolutionists as a cognitive-behavioral pattern that can be transmitted from one individual to another through communication. Memes are ideas that function in the mind in much the same way as a gene or virus would function in the body. Just as viruses can leap from body to body, ideas will leap from mind to mind.
COPYCAT begins with a birds-eye view of a university campus grassy glade. Students have flocked together in groups of two and three. As our point of view descends, we also see briefly where a female student is silently reading a book.
As our field of vision descends even further, a building appears in the distance. A narrative voice-over is heard describing the scene of a murder. As the scene changes to a view inside the building, the spoken words are emanating from a large projection screen. A more complete view of the stage shows Dr. Helen Hudson, the speaker behind the podium, who has just finished a book about serial killers. She is the celebrity of her own lecture.
In a matter of seconds, three powerful media--the book, the lecture and the television screen--are introduced and revealed as the powerful agents of dissemination that they are. Then briefly our attention is directed into the shadows of a capacity audience where FBI statistics would suggest that possibly one of our nation's "35 white males aged 20 to 35 years" serial killers might be lurking. Seconds later in the lecture hall audience--a hand gesture, a silently mouthed threat, a revolver cocking, hesitation at the podium--and we know that he has just been located. Signs are evident that Dr. Helen Hudson is about to begin the ride of her life.
Minutes later into the story but months later in real life; having survived a brutal assault on her life, Helen Hudson remains a house-bound victim suffering the agony of acute agoraphobia and intermittent attacks of anxiety. She is a prisoner in her own home. We can see her but Dr. Hudson is not sure that she wants to see us.
The murder rate in San Francisco must be comparable to most any other city of its size in North America. But what makes a series of murders serial? This is where the insights of Dr. Hudson become inestimable. Though evidence indicates that each of the killings was performed by a different person, Dr. Hudson insists on a serial pattern for the crimes. After fourteen frantic attempts to communicate her knowledge to police, homicide investigating officer M.J. Monahan, played by Holly Hunter, takes the telephone receiver and quickly judges her "knowledge" to be inconsequential. Monahan is, of course, soon apprised of Dr. Hudson's estimable credentials. We very quickly see them together again at her apartment where apologies and requests for assistance are negotiated and settled.
Dr. Hudson is perhaps correct in her assessment of a serial pattern to the crimes. Soon realized is the full extent to which this is no ordinary killing spree. But how could she know? The serial murderer, played by William McNamara, very meticulously pays homage to every detail of other previous slayings by past nefarious darlings of the broadcast media -- Dahmer, Son of Sam, the Boston Strangler and others--who were all made famous through relentless media coverage. It is as though he became those people and they became his modus operandi!
The copycat nature of the crime surely suggests that the victims of the story were killed more by media "meme" than by mere mortal man? Memes of a harmful nature can obviously be very deadly when we consider how the spread of thoughts and ideas might actually be analogous to the rapid spread of a deadly virus. Instead of moving from body the body, the analogy would be a rapid or exponential ideological movement from mind to mind. Indeed, if direct bodily contact is necessary for the spread of a disease, what different kinds of direct contact might assist the spread of a meme?
We might first ask ourselves about some of the more popular memes in existence. Writer-zoologist, Richard Dawkins who coined the term, gives us a host of them--the belief in Santa Clause, the existence of the tooth fairy, and then, for the adults, potentially parasitic memes like the advertiser's slogan or jingle.
But what of some of the potentially more deadly memes like those leading up to the events of the post World War II Marxist-Leninist Soviet Union, the soon thereafter immense military industrial build-up during the cold-war, and present-day neo-Nazi assertions that the killing of six million Jews never happened?
Never missing an instance, COPYCAT offers us an utterly complete tour of every circuit, every pathway, every promiscuous avenue by which memes and their carriers can reach our eyes, ears and other vital organs. Even Dr. Hudson, who would never leave her apartment, is not immune. The best display of this is the full extent to which she is hard-wired to the Internet--multiple graphical windows on her computer workstation screen, real-time chess games in colorful three dimensions, and extravagant video animation with full teleconferencing potential. As if the most important carriers were limited to a computer desktop, there is then her television, her police radio scanner and almost always the telephone, right? If still not convinced, then listen for a catchy tune by THE POLICE.
COPYCAT gives us the usual for our money. However, considering that this movie is riding in the wake of other successes of the genre like THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and, more recently, SEVEN, the "usual" is understandably not always enough. Fortunately, COPYCAT offers more than the usual. In addition to intense co-protagonist performances by Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, this film is brimming with subtle intelligence and satire--even from the villains! In a cinematic portrayal where the tiniest memetic details can echo and reverberate up and down through the multi-threaded channels of our media-tuned make-up, this movie is a treat that, like all good thrillers, will soon bear rewatching!

We spent the afternoon waiting for our hot cross buns to be ready. I used a recipe my bread machine came with. The buns always come up so soft and yummy and have a spice glaze. While waiting for the buns to cook the girls were singing renditions of Hot Cross Buns and a cute song they made up that went "Mama is the best cook in the world, cook in the world" over and over. So very cute!
Scarlett helped me glaze them and she couldn't get enough of the smell, (well they are so gorgeously spicy in fragrance). Of course lashings of butter were in order to top off our afternoon snack and a cup of tea for me to wash down my bun buns. Now the question is, do hot cross buns suffice as dinner?

You are given a set of cities from 0 to N-1, and an adjacency graph which tells which cities are connected to any given city.
We have create roads with minimum cost so that all the cities are accessible.
You have to find out the cost of the road creation.
Example:
cities =
[0, 1, 1, 100, 0],
[1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[100, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2],
[0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2],
[0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0]
ans = 106
This is a classic problem to find the minimum spanning tree.
We can use the Prim's algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree for a given graph.
Algorithm Overview:
1. Start with the first node as the starting node.
2. Maintain the cost of all the explored nodes.
3. At each point, select the minimum cost node from the explored nodes and add it to the MST if not already.
4. Do this until all the nodes are in the MST.
As we can see Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm.
Complexity:
O(VlogV) where V is the number of nodes in the graph.


| Level Of Detail | |
| Playermodels in ET are build-up from a lot of triangles. Each triangle is a face, made of (of course) 3 vertices. To gain some speed in rendering, the game can lower the detail of playermodel. Depending on the distance to a playermodel, the game will draw a somewhat different version of the model. The further away the model is, the less detailed it will be drawn. The closer it gets to the viewer, the more detail is brought back into the playermodel. This feature is called Level-Of-Detail, or in short: LOD. There is a limit of how much the original model (the highest possible LOD) will be lowered in detail. The lowest LOD is called the LOD_minimum. The LOD_minimum is a value indicating the number of vertices that are used to draw the playermodel. If the LOD_minimum has been reached, the game will stop lowering LOD, even when the model is moving further and further away. The LOD-data is stored in a model, and has to be calculated only once. While playing, the game will automaticly change LOD on playermodels, and nothing has to be calculated again. | |
| In-game examples of changing LOD | |
| notice the right-elbow of the medic, and the back of the fieldops.. | |
| ET's original playermodels all have LOD-data in the models already, but if You are creating Your own playermodels this LOD-data may not be present at all. If a playermodel has no LOD-data, triangles can go invisible, and the model will look wrong. | |
| Calculating LOD | |
| This tool can calculate the data needed for LOD. On the 'View'-Tab on the 'LOD'-panel it shows the status of the LOD-data in a model. The status can be present, absent or calculated. The next image shows an original playermodel, loaded from the game. You see that the LOD-data is 'present': | |
| Custom model without LOD | |
| Here is a playermodel that has no LOD-data. The 'LOD'-panel info shows it: 'absent' | |
| Adding LOD-data | |
| To calculate LOD for a playermodel is done by choosing the choice from the menu: "Calculate LOD" | |
| LOD is now calculated | |
| After the Level-Of-Detail has been calculated by the tool, the status on the 'LOD'-panel will indicate: 'calculated' | |
| Enabling LOD | |
| At first, You will see no difference on the playermodel. Only after enabling LOD the model will be displayed on the lowest Level-Of-Detail. As You can see, the model doesn't look too well. The LOD_minimum is set too low, and the triangles are connected in a freaky way.. Note: Enabling or disabling LOD with the checkbox does only toggle the displaying of the LOD model (vs. the normal view). It does not calculate anything, it just switches display-modes.. | |
| Adjusting manually | |
| I've drawn a red line, to indicate a region of the model that looks incorrect. The legs certainly need a higher value for LOD_minimum. Note: The LOD-routine works on surfaces. So select the surface for the legs now to start adjusting the LOD_minimum. The initial value for LOD_minimum of the legs is: 172 (from a total of 259 vertices in the legs-surface). | |
| Increase the LOD_minimum per surface | |
| Increase the LOD_minimum for the legs by using the slider. Note: You can drag the slider with the mouse. You can also select the slider, and then use the left- & right-arrow keys for finer control. Keep increasing the value until the legs look good enough (from this viewed angle). In this example the legs look well enough at about 193 vertices. | |
| Checking from all angles | |
| Rotate the view to check the surface from different angles. If You see more bad spots, keep increasing the value until the surface looks good enough again. You see that the legs still show a weird outline when viewed from this side: | |
| Correcting until the surface is done | |
| After increasing the surface LOD_minimum to about 198, the legs look well. Note: It all depends on the shape of Your playermodel what values are needed for a surface. For example the axis-fieldops with his long jacket will need different values. | |
| Adjusting the next surface | |
| Now that the legs are done, it's time to correct the next surface. The body shows a bad outline, so it needs some adjusting too. Select the surface with the up/down-control on the 'LOD'-panel. You see that the current value for LOD_minimum for this surface is set to 156. | |
| Increasing LOD for this surface | |
| Like before, keep increasing the minimum until the model looks well enough from this side. | |
| View the model from different angles, and check its outline. | |
| If nessecary, increase the LOD_minimum again, until it looks well enough. | |
| When seen from the top, there is a bad "gap" where the upper-chest should be: | |
| Correct it.. Meanwhile the LOD_minimum value has reached about 181 by now.. | |
| Correcting all other surfaces | |
| Go through all surfaces, and keep correcting them. Here is a view on the hands, after correction. | |
| The final result | |
| When all surfaces are corrected, the final model could look like this: | |
| Saving the playermodel | |
| Save the playermodel. The LOD-data will be stored in the model. This playermodel can now be used in the game, and will not "loose" its triangles anymore.. | |


On the fifth day of no booze or Effexor-- after almost a week of teeth-gnashing-- bedridden depression a neighbor woke me to get back a copy of “The Fog of War” a documentary on Joe McNamera (secretary of war during Vietnam) in order to take it back to the video store. I came to the door in a haze-- having worn the same shirt and boxers for 5 days. I hadn’t showered since two days after Christmas. Personal hygiene isn’t high on the list when I’m pondering committing yourself or leaping into on coming traffic.
I handed him the DVD and returned to my room --putting a shirt over my head to shield my usually sensitive eyes from afternoon sunlight which was peering through cracks in my blinds. My mattress was on the floor-- as I had never bothered to obtain a proper bed, there were no sheets, only a denim comforter that I snuggled with in the classic fetal position. This was the only way I could sleep as it gave me a feeling of comfort and safety.
Upon cessation of Effexor, I had been sleeping 16 hours a day during the ordeal-- fortunately I was able to trade some of my Adderall for Klonopins. I was certainly experiencing both SSRI and alcohol withdrawal simultaneously-- I had been drinking as well as experiencing depression to a debilitating degree for over a month and I felt it was time to get my mind back-- what was left of it.
After my neighbor left I was unable to sleep so I made coffee and smoked half a cigarette lying in my ashtray. I finally felt close to normal. After a shower and clean clothes I felt almost normal. No electric shocks or clouded memory.
Another side-effect of Effexor withdrawal that I experienced was pressure in the eyes. I’m not certain the cause-- though I expect it could be a indication of pressure somehow exerted on the brain.
The withdrawal period wasn’t as bad as it had been during previous attempts to stop despite the fact I didn’t taper down gradually as recommended by others that had gone through a similar withdrawal. The sedative definitely helped me with the insomnia and other physical symptoms. I seriously doubt I would have been able to abstain from Effexor with out them.
My dreams were so vivid during the detox period that I often mistook them for reality-- I attribute this to a mixture of REM rebound from the cessation of my alcohol consumption and the absence of the SSRI in my bloodstream. They were 100 times more concrete and my mind seemed to be sharper in dream than it was in reality. I can only compare it to the several times I intentionally fell asleep while wearing nicotine patches-- most of which warn against applying them before sleep due to “Vivid Dreaming”.
The metabolic process of alcoholism have stopped functioning-- hopefully leaving me with only a psychological addiction, which I intend to battle feverishly. I no longer crave booze in any form, though my craving for cigarettes has probably doubled. I took a triple dose of multivitamins because cells inundated with alcohol have a terribly difficult time obtaining nutrients and most alcoholics suffer from vitamin deficiencies.

SLEEF libm has three kinds of testers, and each kind of testers has its own role.
The first kind of testers consists of a tester and an IUT (which stands for Implementation Under Test.) The role for this tester is to perform a perfunctory set of tests to check if the build is correct. It also performs regression tests. The tester and IUT are built as separate executables, and communicate with each other using a pipe. Since these two are separate, the IUT can be implemented with an exotic languages or on an operating system that does not support libraries required for testing. It is also possible to perform a test over the network.
The second kind of testers are designed to run continuously. It repeats randomly generating arguments for each function, and comparing the results of each function to the results calculated with the corresponding function in the MPFR library. This tester is expected to find bugs if it is run for sufficiently long time.
The third kind of testers are for testing if bit-identical results are returned from the functions that are supposed to return such results. The MD5 hash value of all returned values from each function is calculated and checked if it matches the precomputed value.
SLEEF DFT has three kinds of testers. The first ones, named naivetest, compare the results computed by SLEEF DFT with those by a naive DFT implementation. These testers cannot be built with MSVC since complex data types are not supported. The second testers, named fftwtest, compare the results of computation between SLEEF DFT and FFTW. This test requires FFTW library. The third testers, named roundtriptest, executes a forward transform followed by a backward transform. Then, it compares the results with the original data. While this test does not require external library and it runs on all environment, there could be cases where this test does not find some flaw. The roundtrip testers are used only if FFTW is not available.
Gencoef is a small tool for generating the coefficients for polynomial approximation used in the kernels.
In order to change the configurations, please edit gencoefdp.c. In the beginning of the file, specifications of the parameters for generating coefficients are listed. Please enable one of them by changing #if. Then, run make to compile the source code. Run the gencoef, and it will show the generated coefficients in a few minutes. It may take longer time depending on the settings.
There are two phases of the program. The first phase is the regression for minimizing the maximum relative error. This problem can be reduced to a linear programming problem, and the Simplex method is used in this implementation. This requires multi-precision calculation, and the implementation uses the MPFR library. In this phase, it uses only a small number of values (specified by the macro S, usually less than 100) within the input domain of the kernel function to approximate the function. The function to approximate is given by FRFUNC function. Specifying higher values for S does not always give better results.
The second phase is to optimize the coefficients so that it gives good accuracy with double precision calculation. In this phase, it checks 10000 points (specified by the macro Q) within the specified argument range to see if the polynomial gives good error bounds. In some cases, the last few terms have to be calculated in higher precision in order to achieve 1 ULP or better overall accuracy, and this implementation can take care of that. The L parameter specifies the number of high precision coefficients.
In some cases, it is desirable to fix the last few coefficients to values like 1 or 0.5. This can be specified if you define FIXCOEF0 macro.
Finding a set of good parameters is not a straightforward process.
SLEEF has a tool for measuring and plotting execution time of each function in the library. It consists of an executable for measurements, a makefile for driving measurement and plotting, and a couple of scripts.
In order to start a measurement, you need to first build the executable for measurement. CMake builds the executable along with the library. Please refer to compiling and installing the library for this.
Then, change directory to sleef-3.X/src/libm-benchmarks/. You also need to set the build directory to BUILDDIR environment variable. You also need Java runtime environment.
$ export BUILDDIR=$PATH:`pwd`/../../build
Type "make measure". After compiling the tools, it will prompt a label for measurement. After you input a label, measurement begins. After a measurement finishes, you can repeat measurements under different configurations. If you want to measure on a different computer, please copy the entire directory on to that computer and continue measurements. If you have Intel Compiler installed on your computer, you can type "make measureSVML" to measure the computation time of SVML functions.
$ make measure ./measure.sh benchsleef ... Enter label of measurement(e.g. My desktop PC) : Skylake Measurement in progress. This may take several minutes. Sleef_sind2_u10 Sleef_cosd2_u10 Sleef_tand2_u10 Sleef_sincosd2_u10 ... Sleef_atanf8_u10 Sleef_atan2f8_u10 Sleef_atanf8_u35 Sleef_atan2f8_u35 Now, you can plot the results of measurement by 'make plot'. You can do another measurement by 'make measure'. You can start over by 'make restart'. $ make plot javac ProcessData.java java ProcessData *dptrig*.out gnuplot script.out mv output.png trigdp.png java ProcessData *dpnontrig*.out gnuplot script.out mv output.png nontrigdp.png java ProcessData *sptrig*.out gnuplot script.out mv output.png trigsp.png java ProcessData *spnontrig*.out gnuplot script.out mv output.png nontrigsp.png $ █
Then type "make plot" to generate graphs. You need to have JDK and gnuplot installed on your computer. Four graphs are generated : trigdp.png, nontrigdp.png, trigsp.png and nontrigsp.png. Please see our benchmark results for an example of generated graphs by this tool.

| Categories: functors, adaptors | Component type: type |
Mem_fun_t<Result, X>'s constructor takes a pointer to one of X's member functions. Then, like all function objects, mem_fun_t has an operator() that allows the mem_fun_t to be invoked with ordinary function call syntax. In this case, mem_fun_t's operator() takes an argument of type X*.
If F is a mem_fun_t that was constructed to use the member function X::f, and if x is a pointer of type X*, then the expression F(x) is equivalent to the expression x->f(). The difference is simply that F can be passed to STL algorithms whose arguments must be function objects.
Mem_fun_t is one of a family of member function adaptors. These adaptors are useful if you want to combine generic programming with inheritance and polymorphism, since, in C++, polymorphism involves calling member functions through pointers or references.
As with many other adaptors, it is usually inconvenient to use mem_fun_t's constructor directly. It is usually better to use the helper function mem_fun instead.
struct B { virtual void print() = 0; }; struct D1 : public B { void print() { cout << "I'm a D1" << endl; } }; struct D2 : public B { void print() { cout << "I'm a D2" << endl; } }; int main() { vector<B*> V; V.push_back(new D1); V.push_back(new D2); V.push_back(new D2); V.push_back(new D1); for_each(V.begin(), V.end(), mem_fun(&B::print)); }
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Result | The member function's return type. | |
| X | The class whose member function the mem_fun_t invokes. |
| Member | Where defined | Description |
|---|---|---|
| argument_type | Adaptable Unary Function | The type of the argument: X* |
| result_type | Adaptable Unary Function | The type of the result: Result |
Result operator()(X* x) const |
Unary Function | Function call operator. Invokes x->f(), where f is the member function that was passed to the constructor. |
explicit mem_fun_t(Result (X::*f)()) |
mem_fun_t | See below. |
template <class Result, class X> mem_fun_t<Result, X> mem_fun(Result (X::*f)()); |
mem_fun_t | See below. |
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
explicit mem_fun_t(Result (X::*f)()) |
The constructor. Creates a mem_fun_t that calls the member function f. |
template <class Result, class X> mem_fun_t<Result, X> mem_fun(Result (X::*f)()); |
If f if of type Result (X::*) then mem_fun(f) is the same as mem_fun_t<Result, X>(f), but is more convenient. This is a global function, not a member function. |
[1] The type Result is permitted to be void. That is, this adaptor may be used for functions that return no value. However, this presents implementation difficulties. According to the draft C++ standard, it is possible to return from a void function by writing return void instead of just return. At present, however (early 1998), very few compilers support that feature. As a substitute, then, mem_fun_t uses partial specialization to support void member functions. If your compiler has not implemented partial specialization, then you will not be able to use mem_fun_t with member functions whose return type is void.


Weekly Meeting: 2013-04-23
23th April 2013: Irminsule, concurrent revisions and release checklist
Agenda
- Thomas Gazagnaire: Irminsule demonstration
- Richard Mortier: Concurrent revisions implementation in OCaml
- Anil Madhavapeddy: Release checklist review
Attendees: Anil Madhavapeddy, Dave Scott, Vincent Bernardoff, Thomas Gazagnaire, Richard Mortier, Daniel Bünzli, Prashanth Mundkur.
Irminsule Early Demo
We managed to get screen-sharing working from Dave’s iPad, with pinch-to-zoom maxing the screen-size and everyone realising that we are living in the future! Thomas walked us through the Irminsule interfaces, available on Github. Irminsule has three parts, discussed in more detail below: a low-level immutable collection of binary blobs, some structured objects and revision-branching structure.
Low-level immutable database
When you write a value, you get a key (SHA1 or SHA256?). You can read the value with a key, if you don’t have a key you get a null. This is non-blocking.
Structured objects
On top of immutable DB you have some structured objects, like trees.
Anil: how come the merge
function maps a value
to value
and not tree
to tree
?
Conversation discussing the type of the merge
function, and how higher level
abstractions could be built on top of it. More design work needed to ensure
that existing git merge strategies can be implemented using it.
Anil: Can Irminsule replace Xenstore with a persistent version? Consensus is this should be easy once Dave finishes his xenstore refactoring to isolate the database, and careful encoding of existing transaction semantics into Irminsule (which Thomas is familiar with as he did lots of work on Xenstore). Dave Scott agrees with this assessment and thinks a distributed xenstore isnt too bad.
Prashanth: What about traversal order in the tree? would it make sense to have specified order of traversal? Answer: there is a stable order, but in the future we may want to define iterators instead of creating lots of temporary list. This is just an allocation optimisation and not important for version 1.
Revision Structure
On top of structured objects, you have a revision structure. Read Git from the Bottom Up for a design perspective on this. Tags are the only mutable structure, and annotated tags create objects with tags associated with them. Thomas started to work on (only two days) how to sync between two repositories via a pull/push model, and begin to model existing concurrency models on top of the branch-consistent model exposed by Irminsule.
Anil: How do you construct a remote node? Thomas: right now the module types are kept abstract deliberately, but the implementation provides a constructor function (e.g. TCP).
Anil: Sounds like this almost ready for David Sheets to pick up and have a look at for OCamlot. We only need basic stuff for OCamlot and could build simple queues on top of this. Is persistence like the git file format? Thomas: yes, see samoht/cagit for the pure-OCaml git library.
Prashanth: What is the list of labels in the TREE.set function for? Answer: the label list is the list of path fragments in the DAG, analogous to a filename under UNIX.
Anil: points out a typo in the let
in TG’s code. The world breaths a sigh of relief.
Concurrent revisions
Mort spoke about froctal, which is a wrapper to track configuration dependencies in Mirage code. See his README for thoughts so far. He first looked at ocaml-md which was toy experiment last summer to track reconfiguration and then tried Jake Donham’s Froc library during ASPLOS. Then he was thinking about what we could use FRP for in Mirage. Self-scaling web services doesn’t necessarily seem to need FRP, but just simpler configuration tracking instead.
Anil: There’s a healthy followup list of papers, specifically from MSR on Concurrent Revisions. The cloud types even provide automatic reconciliation, and so are a good fit for the Irminsule model.
Mort then described the beginnings of an attempt of implementation of concurrent revisions, with alternate versions using modules and objects (which are closer to the original pseudocode in the paper), but is running into the hard bits of classes in OCaml. General sounds of sympathy from the group, and advice that classes aren’t necessary for many uses of objects in OCaml, and that straightforward object definitions and polymorphism might be easier instead.
Repos are: froctal and ocaml-revisions on Mort’s github. All work-in-progress, obviously.
Mirage library review
Around 53 libraries in three states, with more coming in fast:
- Not started! (only three of these)
- Waiting to die! (should be broken up etc)
- 80% finished! (need docs and interface improvements)
Anil: Note that some OCL people are working on improvements to tooling around documentation, such as opam-doc. Should go though list of libs and define what will get done. See the dev preview checklist on the wiki for more information on progress.
AoB
Mort: Does anyone else have issues with tuntap on Linux? Turns out no-one else has really tried as most of us use Tuntap on MacOS X and the Xen backend on Linux. Vincent’s ocaml-tuntap tests should be sufficient to try a unit test though.
Next week:
- Solidify the story with actor libraries and concurrency from the 1.0 release checklist.
- Figure out the SSL options for 1.0.

Spanish Voters Cast Ballots as Snap General Election Underway - Video
Spain is holding its fourth general vote in as many years, with the members of both chambers of the country’s legislature expected to be elected in one day.
Spanish voters head to the polls on Sunday as a general election is taking place a second time since April this year. The Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), who claimed victory in the 28 April vote, has failed to form a government.
The PSOE will face off against the conservative People's Party, the populist Vox party, the centrist party Ciudadanos, the left-wing Mas Pais party, and an independence-minded Catalan coalition: the Republican Left of Catalonia–Sovereigntists.

to/ from the domain
section.
Confirm deletion of a mailbox
curl<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Once you removed a mailbox from your config.yaml
and pushed the changes, you’ll receive a URL
including a delete token to confirm the deletion of your mailbox.
This prevents you to accidently delete your mailbox e.g. due to a misconfiguration.
If you visit the URL in your browser or curl it, the mailbox is permanently deleted.
Please note that your invoice will be automatically changed accordingly.
Change your mailbox password
curl -X POST -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"https://developermail.io/api/accounts/change-password"
Change your mailbox password
Passwords are automatically generated by our system. If you want to update
the mailbox password, you need to initiate a curl
request.
You will be asked for your old password. On success, a new password is generated for you.
Change password for another mailbox using the admin account
curl -X POST -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"https://developermail.io/api/accounts/change-password" --data '{"user": "fritz", "domain": "my-domain.com"}'
You can also re-generate passwords for all mailboxes under your command, using the admin login (the first mailbox you created when registering for developermail)
Domains
Create and delete domains
developermail.io:
fritz:
sieve: sieve/default.sieve
aliases: []
custom-domain.com:
frith:
sieve: sieve/default.sieve
aliases: []
You are able to create and delete domains by simply adding and removing them to/ from the global section.
There are not limits on domains. We won’t charge for domains neither.
Once you push your changes, you’ll receive all information required to adapt the domains DNS
settings. If you need any help, or if you want to check whether your settings are ok, visit the
DNS settings check page https://developermail.io/dns-check#/your-domain.com
.
The domain will not be activated until you at least set the developermail-verification
TXT
record.
Sieve
Your initial
default.sieve
will look like this:
require "fileinto";
require "regex";
require "imap4flags";
# Place all spam mails in "Spam" folder
if allof (header :regex "X-DSPAM-Result" "^(Spam|Virus|Bl[ao]cklisted)$",
not header :contains "X-DSPAM-Reclassified" "Innocent") {
# Uncomment this if you want your spam mails to be automatically marked as read
# setflag "\\Seen";
fileinto "Spam";
stop;
}
You can use Sieve for mail filterung rules that are applied directly on our servers.
Sieve Examples
File messages from certian addresses into folders
require ["fileinto"];
# Automatically put all emails from Facebook and Twitter in the Social folder
if anyof (address :contains "From" "twitter.com",
address :contains "From"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>{
fileinto "Social";
stop;
}
Developermail has full sieve support. Refer to the RFCs for detailed information, or adapt one of our examples!
