Alonso could still win F1 title - Verstappen
Fernando Alonso would return to Formula 1 as a clear top-three driver.
by GMM F1That is the view of Max Verstappen, who was recently complimented by former F1 driver Alonso for his constant "attack mode" at the wheel of his Red Bull.
Now, Verstappen is returning the compliment by predicting that a 2021 return to F1 for the 38-year-old Spaniard would be a success.
"For me, Fernando is one of the best drivers," the Dutchman told the Spanish edition of Auto Bild.
"It is a pity that I never really raced against him, because he did not have a very competitive car at the time.
"But I think if Alonso was here with a top car, he would be among the top three to win the world championship," Verstappen added.

The discovery of two new jumbo-sized viruses is blurring the lines between viral and cellular life and could point to the existence of a new type of life, scientists suggest.
The two large viruses, detailed in this week's issue of the journal Science, have been dubbed "Pandoraviruses" because of the surprises they may hold for biologists, in reference to the mythical Greek figure who opened a box and released evil into the world.
The discovery of Pandoraviruses is an indication that our knowledge of Earth's microbial biodiversity is still incomplete, explained study coauthor Jean-Michel Claverie, a virologist at the French National Research Agency at Aix-Marseille University.
"Huge discoveries remain to be made at the most fundamental level that may change our present conception about the origin of life and its evolution," Claverie said.
Eugene Koonin, a computational evolutionary biologist at the National Center for Biotechnology Information in Bethesda, Md., who was not involved in the study, called the Pandoraviruses a "wonderful discovery," but not a complete surprise.
"In a certain sense, it's something that we saw coming, and it's wonderful that it has come," Koonin said.
A systematic search
Claverie's lab found one of the viruses, Pandoravirus salinus, in sediments collected off the coast of Chile. The other, Pandoravirus dulcis, was lurking in mud in a freshwater pond near Melbourne, Australia.
'These viruses have more than 2,000 new genes coding for proteins and enzymes that do unknown things.'
- virologist and study coauthor Chantel Abergel
Both of the new viruses are so massive that they can be seen using a traditional light microscope. Their genomes are also super-sized: the genome of P. salinus is 1.91 million DNA bases long, while that of P. dulcis is 2.47 million DNA bases. For comparison, the size of the previous viral genome record holder, Megavirus chilensis, is 1.18 million bases.
M. chilensis is a marine relative of Mimiviruses, a class of large viruses that was first discovered more than a decade ago and forever changed scientists' conceptions of how large viruses could be.
After sequencing the first Mimivirus genome in 2010, Claverie and his team began a systematic search for even larger viruses. They found P. salinus in the same environment in Chile where M. chilensis was found.
The discovery of P. dulcis was more serendipitous, being the result of water sample Claverie took during a trip to Melbourne.
At first, the French scientists thought both viruses were the same. But after comparing the two genome sequences and their encoded proteins, they realized that the pair represented a new virus family, said Claverie.
What are they?
The team also conducted several experiments to confirm that Pandoraviruses were indeed viruses. Using light and electron microscopes, the scientists followed their newfound entities through a complete replication cycle. The gigantic entities met all three key criteria to be labeled viruses.
First, instead of splitting in two like typical bacterium or cells, the Pandoraviruses spawned hundreds of new copies in one cycle. Secondly, they both lacked the genes needed for energy production. Finally, they could not produce proteins without infecting single-celled organisms known as amoebas, which seem to be the Pandoraviruses' preferred hosts.
Further surprises awaited the team when they analyzed the Pandoraviruses' genomes. That of P. dulciscontained about 1,500 genes, while that of P. salinus contained more than 2,500 genes. A typical flu virus can have as few as 10 genes, and M. chilensis has only about 1,000 genes.
What's more, scientists don't know what most of the Pandoravirus genes do. There are "a few recognizable genes involved in DNA replication, and a few transcription-related genes. Not much else is recognizable," explained study co-first author Matthieu Legendre, who is also at CNRS.
The Pandoraviruses are also unlike other viruses in that they lack the gene for the capsid protein that typically forms the housing, or "capsid," of giant viruses.
The fourth domain
These irregularities raise interesting questions about the origins of Pandoraviruses, scientists say.
According to a theory preferred by Claverie and his team, the ancient ancestors of Pandoraviruses were once free-living cells that gradually lost most of their genes as they became parasites.
Some scientists think this hypothetical ancestral cell could have constituted a so-called "fourth domain" of life — that is, a previously unknown branch of life that is distinct from the accepted three domains: Bacteria; Archaea, another type of single-celled organism; and Eukaryotes, the domain that animals and plants belong to.
Practical applications
Claverie and his team are now on the hunt for other Pandoraviruses to unravel their evolutionary origins and better study their genes.
"These viruses have more than 2,000 new genes coding for proteins and enzymes that do unknown things, and participate in unknown metabolic pathways," explained virologist and study coauthor Chantel Abergel, who is also at CNRS.
"Elucidating their biochemical and regulatory functions might be of a tremendous interest for biotech and biomedical applications," she added.
The scientists have reason to believe that many more Pandoraviruses await discovery.
"The fact that two of them were found almost simultaneously from very distant locations either indicate that we were incredibly lucky," Claverie said, "or that they are not rare."

As people continue to adjust to safety protocols, mandates and ordinances, one thing that is certain is Fall Semester 2020 will be one like no other.
Back to school
The Post previously reported Ohio University announced classes would begin online Aug. 24, and the majority of students will not be returning to campus in the fall until after Sept. 27.
For incoming freshman Arielle Lyons, the university’s decision was disappointing. She is, however, sympathetic.
“I’m disappointed since I was really looking forward to finally going to college, especially since I missed out on a lot of things I was looking forward to as a senior,” Lyons said in a message. "But I understand why they made the choice that they did and I’ll just have to be patient for another month.”
University rule
Over the summer, university students, faculty and staff worked with public health and city officials to develop plans for the Fall Semester, Carly Leatherwood, senior director of OU Communication Services, said.
COVID has had a significant impact on Athens County and continues to, Jack Pepper, administrator at the Athens City-County Health Department, said.
Local public health officials have been preparing for a public emergency like this since the early 2000s. They continued preparing into this spring – when the theoretical emergency became reality.
“Since early March we have worked closely with our government, university, and business partners to apply those plans to the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Pepper said in an email.
OU will have a phased return on the Athens campus this fall and a hybrid approach for regional campuses. The university previously canceled all Fall Semester and winter break study abroad programs, both international and domestic.
The university’s revised fall plans were made after consultation with public health and medical partners who supported the need to reduce the number of people on our campus, Leatherwood said in an email.
The first phase begins with classes Aug. 24 and phase two Sept. 28.
“In phase one, only a limited number of graduate and undergraduate students in a carefully selected set of academic programs (are) permitted to return to the Athens campus,” Leatherwood said in an email.
According to a previous Post report, students whose programs require in-person experiences for accreditation or those who need access to specific equipment, will be eligible to return to campus.
Students with extenuating circumstances, like international students or students experiencing homelessness, are able to apply for on-campus housing, too. The university will notify students who are eligible.
Those coming back to campus will have to comply with OU’s pandemic policies.
The university approved an interim face covering policy and teaching environments have been heavily modified. The university is also trying to ensure shared study spaces, such as Alden Library, are safe and accessible.

The Athens COVID-19 risk continuum.
OU has also outlined student behavior expectations: for instance, the OHIO Pledge. The university will require “every member of the university community” to sign the pledge, which affirms that “they will do their part to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus.”
The pledge consists of six major points which signers must abide by, including: following OU’s facial coverings policy and all protocols the university adopts, monitoring university communication about COVID-19, agreeing to participate in contact tracing efforts and will not all their biases to “impede the access and opportunity of others in my community.”
OU’s Fall Semester goes fully remote in mid-November. The last day for on-campus activities will be Nov. 20, according to a previous Post report.
Crickets Uptown
Plans were briefly in motion to go back to normal. On May 19, Gov. Mike DeWine lifted the mandatory stay-at-home order, which had been in place since March 25.
Prior to lifting the order, DeWine allowed restaurants and bars to serve patrons outdoors starting May 15, and inside service on May 21, according to the Newark Advocate.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Athens Mayor Steve Patterson said he's seen an unusually high number of people in Athens this summer.
“We are seeing more people in the Uptown area than (we have) seen in a long time,” Mayor Patterson said. “I would say that of recent there have been a lot more people in the city of Athens.”
When summer officially started June 22, Athens had only 25 confirmed cases of the virus, according to usafacts.org. Roughly a month later, the health department reported over 10 times that. Athens County had 284 confirmed cases of the coronavirus July 21.
In mid-July, following increasingly confirmed cases, The Post reported that many local businesses temporarily closed as precautionary measures. Other local businesses, like Donkey Coffee, closed after announcing confirmed cases within their staff.
Each year, once spring break starts, everything Uptown slows down, Patterson said, and that same slower-paced Athens feel continues into the summer.
Things seemed to be on the uptick after DeWine lifted the stay-at-home order, and establishments reopened, Patterson said.
But that only lasted a week or two. "Well, once that happened, there was a lot going on," Patterson said. "Not quite a lot of it was responsible. That is telling unto itself.”
The mayor has also noticed people making day trips to Athens from bigger cities. Patterson thinks that, comparatively, to some, Athens County feels safe.
“Part of the problem was or is that a lot of people felt that Athens County only has 33 cases out of 60,00 people. To them, it appears to be safer in Athens than elsewhere,” Patterson said. “Individuals or families make it a day trip to come from Cincinnati because they felt that the cases are low, so why don't (they) make a day of it and turn around and go back?"
But bar-goers and tourists aren’t all to blame. For Pepper, the spread of the virus depends on the actions of individuals.
“Behavior certainly has an impact on the spread of disease, not just COVID-19,” Pepper said in an email. “Risky behavior is not exclusively tied to the student-age demographic; we all have a responsibility to make choices that limit the spread of disease.”
All COVID cases are treated the same, Pepper said.
“Case investigation and contact-tracing does not change depending on age demographic. Typically, cases are tied to current place of residence. Positive cases currently residing in Athens will be counted in our case count,” Pepper said.
Bummer summer
Ohio Brew Week, or OBW, is an Athens summer staple. For the past 14 years, breweries and patrons have taken to Court Street to sample local beers and share good times. This summer was supposed to be year 15 of OBW, but it, too, was canceled due to the coronavirus.
Executive director of OBW Brandon Thompson, aka DJ B-Funk, said the decision to call off Brew Week was a difficult one. It raised many questions and was ultimately made out of safety for the community.
He now has doubts about other upcoming city events he helps organize, like Fall Fest by OBW and Athens Halloween. He’s almost positive Fall Fest won’t happen — especially if students can’t return.
The thought of students not returning is scary for Thompson, as they are contributors to the local economy. It is well-known that Athens County is one of the leading counties in the state for food insecurity and poverty.
“I’m honestly not sure how I even feel,” Thompson said. “I don't even know what’s real and what's possible anymore. This year won’t be a good year.”

COVID-19 is more dangerous to some people more than others. People with medical conditions such as cancer or obesity are also at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. According to the CDC, the risk for severe illness also increases with age with older adults at highest risk.
This deadly aspect of the virus is a concern for Pete Hyde, a senior studying information telecommunications systems. According to the European University Institute, the average age of a full-tenured American college professor is 55.
“I'm worried more for the older professors than I am (for) people our age,” Hyde said in an email.
Hyde said he’s done all the big things there are to do as a Bobcat — minus Number Fests. As an OU alumnus, Thompson, too, recalled the fun of being an OU student: shows at the Union, hanging out at Donkey Coffee.
“I can’t imagine being at OU and not being able to go Uptown,” Thomspon said. “For some, (this year Athens) may just look like a very boring college town.”
Thompson also has concerns over how the pandemic will affect the entire Bobcat lifestyle, from dorm life to student orgs. For him, the college experience is a shared one.
“The OU experience is about being with other people. It's not about being by yourself,” Thompson said.
Because Hyde’s classes will be taught differently, he isn’t sure if this year's education will be as satisfying as previous ones.
“I am not sure that it is going to (be) as rewarding of an experience as the years prior,” he said in an email. “I guess I'm going to just have to go with the flow of the courses as everyone is adjusting.”
Hyde also has concerns about how social distancing and class precautions are going to affect the quality of OU’s education.
“I think all the social distancing in classrooms is really going to have a negative impact on the (hands-on) classes,” Hyde said in an email. “I really (don't) think anyone is going to have a learning experience that comes close to what the university has provided in the past.”
The problem of expectations — or a lack thereof
Lyons celebrated her high school graduation but found it somewhat underwhelming.
The ceremony was virtual. Pre-recorded clips of speeches and graduates receiving their diplomas were compiled and livestreamed.
“(The summer) has definitely not gone as planned,” Lyons said. “I still had a grad party, but I did it in waves. It was nice to still be able to celebrate my achievements.”
Lyons, who is studying journalism, thinks her freshman year experience will definitely be different than the average freshman’s. But she’s avoided giving herself too many expectations.
“I'm still expecting to have the things you expect as a college freshmen — independence, new friends, that sort of thing,” Lyons said. “It's like my freshman year of college — and the pandemic was in the background — and not defined by my freshman year of college.”

java.lang.Object java.nio.channels.FileLock
public abstract class FileLock
A token representing a lock on a region of a file.
A file-lock object is created each time a lock is acquired on a file via
one of the lock
or tryLock
methods of the FileChannel
class.
A file-lock object is initially valid. It remains valid until the lock
is released by invoking the release
method, by closing the
channel that was used to acquire it, or by the termination of the Java
virtual machine, whichever comes first. The validity of a lock may be
tested by invoking its isValid
method.
A file lock is either exclusive or shared. A shared lock prevents other concurrently-running programs from acquiring an overlapping exclusive lock, but does allow them to acquire overlapping shared locks. An exclusive lock prevents other programs from acquiring an overlapping lock of either type. Once it is released, a lock has no further effect on the locks that may be acquired by other programs.
Whether a lock is exclusive or shared may be determined by invoking its
isShared
method. Some platforms do not support shared
locks, in which case a request for a shared lock is automatically converted
into a request for an exclusive lock.
The locks held on a particular file by a single Java virtual machine do
not overlap. The overlaps
method may be used to test
whether a candidate lock range overlaps an existing lock.
A file-lock object records the file channel upon whose file the lock is held, the type and validity of the lock, and the position and size of the locked region. Only the validity of a lock is subject to change over time; all other aspects of a lock's state are immutable.
File locks are held on behalf of the entire Java virtual machine. They are not suitable for controlling access to a file by multiple threads within the same virtual machine.
File-lock objects are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
This file-locking API is intended to map directly to the native locking
facility of the underlying operating system. Thus the locks held on a file
should be visible to all programs that have access to the file, regardless
of the language in which those programs are written.
Whether or not a lock actually prevents another program from accessing
the content of the locked region is system-dependent and therefore
unspecified. The native file-locking facilities of some systems are merely
advisory, meaning that programs must cooperatively observe a known
locking protocol in order to guarantee data integrity. On other systems
native file locks are mandatory, meaning that if one program locks a
region of a file then other programs are actually prevented from accessing
that region in a way that would violate the lock. On yet other systems,
whether native file locks are advisory or mandatory is configurable on a
per-file basis. To ensure consistent and correct behavior across platforms,
it is strongly recommended that the locks provided by this API be used as if
they were advisory locks.
On some systems, acquiring a mandatory lock on a region of a file
prevents that region from being On some systems, closing a channel releases all locks held by the Java
virtual machine on the underlying file regardless of whether the locks were
acquired via that channel or via another channel open on the same file. It
is strongly recommended that, within a program, a unique channel be used to
acquire all locks on any given file.
Some network filesystems permit file locking to be used with
memory-mapped files only when the locked regions are page-aligned and a
whole multiple of the underlying hardware's page size. Some network
filesystems do not implement file locks on regions that extend past a
certain position, often 230 or 231. In general, great
care should be taken when locking files that reside on network filesystems.

locking and mapping should be prepared for this combination to fail.

When designing multiple related classes in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), you will inevitably run into scenarios where you have a choice to make between Inheritance and Composition.
What is Inheritance?
The word inheritance in common society is well known. When someone passes away, someone inherits the possessions of that individual. In programming, the concept of something "inheriting the possessions" of something else is similarly shared.
Suppose we have two classes in Ruby, Class A and Class B, where Class B inherits from Class A. This means that Class B will inherit, or automatically have, the methods of Class A as they are specified in Class A unless they are overriden.
The code below illustrates an example of how a class Square inherits the class Rectangle.
Notice how in Square we did not define intialize or the area function, it simply inherited those from Rectangle.
We could also make an adjustment to our class. For example, a square only has one side length so it makes sense to only pass in one side length. See below how that is implemented.
Notice how we pass in one parameter, and then we take that parameter and pass it into the super class, Rectangle, so we have a heigth and width that we can use for methods such as area.
What is Composition?
The word composition can be informally defined as bringing together various elements to create a larger element. Thus, in programming when we are using composition, we are taking things that are already made as building blocks to build something else.
If we use our prior example of Rectangles and Squares, we can make it so that a Square is composed of a Rectangle.
Notice that there is no inheritance, but our intialize method creates an instance of another object that we will use as part of our method.
When to use Composition or Inheritance.
The best rule of thumb I have found is to use inheritance you want something to follow an Is-A relationship. For example, a Square "is a" Rectangle. We most likely aren't going to run into any issues with any changes that we make to Rectangle as Square would follow those.
You may have something where it may be slightly more ambiguous. For example, if you have a Person class and have someone who is an Employee, they may also be a Supervisor as well. You could have Employee inherit from person and then Supervisor from Employee, but not everything may align well so you may use composition to build some of these classes.
This is far from comprehensive, but hopefully it is illustrative.

Recursion
Recursion is "the process of repeating items in a self-similar way" accoriding to good ol' Wikipedia. But what the heck does that mean???
Think of it like this - two mirrors facing one another parallel would be an instance of infinite recursion. The reflection would be reflected in the image displayed by the other mirror forever and ever and ever. Get it? No? Hmm. How about like this then:
Notice how when you Google recursion, it says "Did you mean recursion?" If you click it, it still says that on the new page that's loaded.
Alright, since this is for DBC, I better try to explain how this is important to your friendly neighborhood coder-man. We already know you can define a function and that you can call another function within that function's definition. Now, what if you could define a function or method that calls itself in its definition??? Well, that's RECURSION!
Recursion is a way of defining functions in which the function is applied inside its own definition. For example, though you could easily write a "for loop" in JavaScript to do a factorial function, you could also write it recursively like so:
factorial(N) {See?! Recursion can be a good alternative to normal iteration sometimes. For example, if you're reading this and haven't done the Fibonacci challenge yet, try giving thinking of the sequence of numbers as being defined recursively. So, F(0)=0 and F(1)=1, but every other number after the first two is he previous two added together. Then, F(3)=F(2)+F(1), and, since we know F(2)=F(1)+F(0), that'd be the same as saying F(3)=F(1)+F(0)+F(1). So, F(3)=2. This could be done with any number in the Fibonacci sequence - F(n)=F(n-1)+F(n-2).
if (N==1) return 1;
return N * factorial(N-1);
}
Hopefully, you understand recursion a bit better now. If not, see this blog post ;)


Here’s How You Can Get In Shape Before The Holidays
by Sofiya GolovnyaWinter holidays are usually not the time when we want to be fit. Yet, with a lot of parties and other social events coming up, who doesn’t want to look especially great? Besides, a good beginning makes a good ending, so it’s nice to get in shape before the end of this year. Here are a few tips on how you can achieve that.
Be Active
Most of us are usually quite busy during the holiday season. While it can be stressful, there is a benefit to it. Even doing Christmas shopping helps you stay active, so don’t be surprised you’re so tired after a day of running errands. Hosting a party at your place also means you have to clean up beforehand, and this is an excellent method to burn calories too.
Eat Clean
What’s the best way to get in shape in a short period of time? Clean up your diet. Treating yourself is important, but leave that to the holiday dinners. Try avoiding processed foods and go for wholesome meals instead. Also, beware of candy: the number of sweets you’re surrounded by is extra high before Christmas.
Stay Hydrated
It’s essential to drink plenty of water when the weather is hot, but don’t forget to do it in the winter too. Not only it will lower your appetite and increase metabolism, consuming enough liquids has multiple proven health benefits. You can also drink unsweetened tea and black coffee, as these count toward your daily fluid intake.
Choose a Workout You Like
If you really want to stick to your workout plan, finding the type of training you enjoy is essential. There are a lot of choices, like swimming, boxing, doing Crossfit, dancing and much more. In the winter, options like skiing and ice skating are added. Feel free to try something new; maybe it would turn out to be your favorite workout.
Exercise with a Friend
Anything is more fun when you do it with a buddy. Instead of going to the gym alone, bring your friend, or sing up for a new exercise class together. Not only will you keep each other company, but you also can help each other stay motivated, which is the hardest part of working out alone. You can also train with your partner or even your parents.
 There are multiple options like Nike Training Club, 8fit and MyFitnessPal (the last one lets you track your meals, too). Such apps provide you with a wide range of workouts, whether short or long, and easy or hard. The notifications will also remind you it’s time to exercise, which is really handy.
Focus on Balance
You’re doing great already if you decided to get fit before the holidays. Yet, be ready to face some obstacles. A lot of celebrations and parties are going to take place at this time, and it’s okay to have a cheat day once in a while. If you manage to have a balance in your life, you’ll be both healthy and happy.

"Safety car came at exactly the wrong time" for Grosjean in Brazil
by Nicolás Quarles van UffordAfter getting both cars in the top 10 during qualifying, Haas were once again left empty-handed on Sunday, with Romain Grosjean explaining the safety car came out at "exactly the wrong time" for him as he dropped from seventh to 13th.
It's been a very tough second half of the season for Haas, scoring points just once since the German Grand Prix back in July when Magnussen finished ninth in Russia.
Last weekend in Brazil, the American side seemed to have re-found their form as both cars qualified in the top 10 again. As has often been the case for the team, however, the race pace was nowhere near as good as the qualifying pace.
"We were doing the race of our life, we were hanging on in there in P7 with a car that doesn't deserve that," Grosjean reflected.
"We were doing an amazing job and then the safety car fell at exactly the wrong time for us. The tires at the restart were just tired from a long stint.
"We knew we could go to the end, but then Sainz pushed me wide at the restart into turn two. I'm not very happy about that. We pushed the car to the limit today, it just wasn't our time."
Haas also reported MGU-K problems for Grosjean during the race, which was one of the reasons he dropped off from the places within the points. Teammate Kevin Magnussen, who was taken out by Daniel Ricciardo at the start of the race, did well to recover to P11.

ES3/ES5 MNIST Starter
A single hidden layer (convolutional or fully connected) feed forward neural network for MNIST digit recognition. You may observe the intitial convergence of this network is sometime affected by initialization. Try re-loading the page and start again if that happens.


The above restrictions will most likely remain, since removing them would be difficult and they're not really needed for Pyrex's intended applications.Function definitions (whether using def or cdef) cannot be nested within other function definitions.
Class definitions can only appear at the top level of a module, not inside a function.
The import * form of import is not allowed anywhere (other forms of the import statement are fine, though).
Generators cannot be defined in Pyrex.
The globals() and locals() functions cannot be used.
There are also some temporary limitations, which may eventually be lifted, including:
Class and function definitions cannot be placed inside control structures.
List comprehensions are not yet supported.
There is no support for Unicode.
Special methods of extension types cannot have functioning docstrings.
The use of string literals as comments is not recommended at present, because they are not accepted in places where executable statements are not allowed.
will not work in Pyrex. This can be worked around by defining the function outside the class, and then assigning the result of classmethod or staticmethod inside the class, i.e.class Spam:def method(cls):
...method = classmethod(method)
def Spam_method(cls):
...class Spam:method = classmethod(Spam_method)

Reinventing the Handshake: Polite Servers and Smart Networks Lead to Active Security
This would be great. I never want to setup another VPN firewall ever again.If there was a real-time tag cloud for the RSA conference this year, three words would be in big bold letters: Security (of course), Cloud, and Virtualization. Paul Congdon, from HP’s ProCurve Networking group gave us a view into the not-so-distant future where servers, like good house guests, knock before entering. In this case, it’s the link they request, and to get it they will properly announce themselves and their intentions to allow the host to prepare to accommodate them.
This capability is a linchpin in removing the process bottleneck in provisioning new services in the data center. For most organizations, the network is manually configured. To keep up with the movement of the provisioning of virtual machines, the network needs to enable “plug and play”.
Complexity Means Controls
The network is in a unique postion as a “pipe” as well as a “control” where it needs to know what communications go where and plays the role of traffic cop.
This means opening ports between servers, controlling traffic and setting monitors to make sure traffic is optimized. When things change, configuration does as well, especially when a new service is requested. Today, this is controlled by human processes and controls to keep the network up to date with the applications and servers that host them.
In the future, there is the opportunity to move forward in auto-configuration or even smarter handshakes.
In essence, to oversee this process a directory or resources or inventory would exist that allows the network to “know” what is in place within it. This is a new control point for the data center, and is a resource to the network.
Solutions in Protocols
802.1.x is technology that has been used in WiFi connections. One reason it was useful in that context is that it’s expected that the link drops and reconnects frequently and so is seen as an opportunity for the physical link as well.
The potential upgrades to 802.1 would enable a richer dialog between the server as it starts up its networking process. This would allow the server to announce itself and its requirements (e.g. encryption) and allow the network to respond to these appropriately (e.g. set encryption key). This process can become a big win for configuration management where now, the server can come up in the network and be provisioned according to the policy.
All of this reminds us of the benefits of a company like Apple. Having the unique opportunity to control the model from end to end means have the ability to make better tools. We wonder if natural evolution will get multi-vendor shops a solution for all of their IT assets.
What will it take to get to a model-driven data center?

lispmtopgm(1) lispmtopgm(1) NAME lispmtopgm - convert a Lisp Machine bitmap file into pgm format SYNOPSIS lispmtopgm [lispmfile] DESCRIPTION Reads a Lisp Machine bitmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. This is the file format written by the tv:write-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines. Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the lispm image file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a graymap instead. This is unfortunate. SEE ALSO pgmtolispm(1), pgm(5) BUGS The Lispm bitmap file format is a bit quirky; Usually the image in the file has its width rounded up to the next higher multiple of 32, but not always. If the width is not a multiple of 32, we don't deal with it properly, but because of the Lispm microcode, such arrays are probably not image data anyway. Also, the lispm code for saving bitmaps has a bug, in that if you are writing a bitmap which is not mod32 across, the file may be up to 7 bits too short! They round down instead of up, and we don't handle this bug gracefully. No color. AUTHOR Copyright (C) 1991 by Jamie Zawinski and Jef Poskanzer. 06 March 1990 lispmtopgm(1)

WASHINGTON SQUARE A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
Just as it is most assuredly determined from birth whether one will like liver or not, so it is with actors and costume dramas. Helena Bonham Carter, for example, was undoubtedly born in long dress with full period regalia. As seen most recently in the film version of the Henry James novel, THE WINGS OF THE DOVE, she is in her element when dressed from head to toe in full period attire.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, on the other hand, is not genetically predisposed toward petticoat pictures. Casting her as the female lead in a film version of another Henry James novel, "Washington Square," a role that won an Oscar for Olivia De Havilland in 1949, represents significant risk for WASHINGTON SQUARE's director Agnieszka Holland. (The 1949 version was called THE HEIRESS, but the new movie is titled WASHINGTON SQUARE since, according to the press notes, it attempts to recreate the novel much more faithfully.)
Jennifer Jason Leigh is a brilliant actress who specializes in hard-hitting contemporary roles, such as the devastating LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN, SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, and the film that should have gotten her an Academy Award nomination, GEORGIA. As in her most recent performance in A THOUSAND ACRES, she makes a strategic error in WASHINGTON SQUARE and underplays her part. All of the above notwithstanding, her performance, which remains central to the enjoyment of the film, is delightful even if sometimes strained.
Czech director Holland approaches each film with a passion for detail. Known abroad for EUROPA, EUROPA, her best English language film was the lovely and magical film, THE SECRET GARDEN. Her meticulousness shows in WASHINGTON SQUARE in many small ways. The story starts with the birth of Catherine Sloper, played as a young adult by Leigh. After Catherine's mother has died in childbirth, the director manages to wait until the baby playing Catherine has such a remarkably wise and soulful look that one feels the baby understands the tragedy.
Catherine's father, Dr. Austin Sloper, is played by that master of all periods, Albert Finney. He believes his daughter to be without accomplishment or beauty. Although basically true, his protection of her has cruel consequences. Most of the show, except for an incongruous scene of a fat preteen Catherine, takes place when Catherine is a young woman of marriageable age. (For the record, fat people can become and stay thin ones -- I, for one, did -- but it is not likely, and the story creates a visual discord by not explaining the transformation.)
Catherine's costumes by Anna Sheppard, Academy Award nominee for SCHINDLER'S LIST, make Catherine look exceedingly plain and gawky. When she comes to show off her first ball gown, her father is told he must wait. "If a prelude is necessary," he says sternly. "The news must be bad." It is. Draped in what appears to be a old curtain of gold tassels on a badly contrasting royal blue base, Catherine grimaces and looks terrible. With her make-up and her downcast mouth, Leigh turns herself from naturally cute into an extremely homely young woman.
When Catherine goes to the ball, a dashing but penniless young man named Morris Townsend appears instantly smitten with her. Morris, played with charm and panache by Ben Chaplin from THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS, becomes the story's enigma. Are his intentions honorable as he says, or is he, as her father believes, just a rogue whose only interest is Catherine's considerable fortune?
In James's poetic language, they banter sweet nothings at each other when they first meet. "A woman of such uncommon grace has no need of guile," he assures her at one point.
Maggie Smith plays Catherine's Aunt Lavinia Penniman. She is a ninny whose putative position is to chaperone Catherine. Smith's delicate performance engenders a wave of giggles in the audience whenever she opens her mouth. During one tiresome session of watching over the young lovers, she makes an awkward exit. "You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Townsend," she explains. "I have a fortuitous headache."
Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's heavy violin music is as rich as the paneled rooms in which much of the action takes place. To recreate the Washington Square of 1840s New York City, production designer Allan Starski chose a Baltimore setting. The lovely Federalist houses there dot a richly textured urban landscape.
When Catherine's knees buckle from her first kiss by Morris, her first beau, Leigh manages to make it believable. Slumped almost on the floor, her face is flushed and her blood rushes. Never had the ungainly Catherine expected such rapture. In a time of R-rated show-'em-everything sexuality, it is refreshing to visit a time when more was not necessarily better, and when a kiss was, well, a kiss.
Chapin's performance is as dead-on as Finney's. When Morris explains, "My vanity requires an audience," we come to understand one of the reasons he likes Catherine, who dotes on his every word.
 "I like it very much." I couldn't have said it better myself, and not being Henry James, I'm not expected to.
WASHINGTON SQUARE runs 1:55. It is rated PG for adult themes. The film would be fine for any age, but those below ten would probably not be interested. I recommend the film to you and give it ***.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

ASM.js
Overview
"An extraordinarily optimizable, low-level subset of JavaScript"
Typical Program
function DiagModule(stdlib) {
"use asm";
var sqrt = stdlib.Math.sqrt;
function square(x) {
x = +x;
return +(x*x);
}
function diag(x, y) {
x = +x;
y = +y;
return +sqrt(square(x) + square(y));
}
return { diag: diag };
}
Why it will be faster?
- Helps JavaScript engines to detect types.
- No memory allocation.
"Do I need to write something like?"
function strlen(ptr) { // calculate length of C string
ptr = ptr|0;
var curr = 0;
curr = ptr;
while (MEM8[curr]|0 != 0) {
curr = (curr + 1)|0;
}
return (curr - ptr)|0;
}
Tools
C/C++  =>  LLVM  =>  Emscripten  =>  JavaScript
- Emscripten can emit asm.js output
- asm.js code already works in all modern browsers
- With asm.js-specific optimizations in Firefox Nightly, performance is within 2x of native.
