I think John Berger is a weird guy, but come to think of it, I don't think they make artists that have never been called weird. He opened up episode one by saying that "a large part of seeing depends on habit and convention." To me, that means anyone can look at something and analyze it, but an expert appreciates how something is done and is trained to pay attention to certain things. I do not know much about art, but I do know a lot about music. I have played bass in a rock band since I was 6 years old. I believe this experience has changed the way I listen to music. When I hear a song, I hear the different parts and how everything fits together perfectly. I do not get the same feeling of fulfillment listening to "Firework" by Katy Perry as I do listening to "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead.  "Bad music" can be defined as music that can be appreciated easily by untrained ears. I think what John Berger means by "a large part of seeing depends on habit and convention" is that you can't really see a photo until you know and learn what to look for. I never considered thinking about art the same way that I listen to music. I usually stare at a piece in the modern art section of the MET and walk away after about 30 seconds thinking to myself "man, I would love to make money painting an entire canvas one shade of blue." In the future, I think it would be interesting to research a bit more on modern art so I can look at it and appreciate it how it was intended.

Paige and Renee Young reject idea of another controversial veteran returning on WWE Backstage
by Lennard SurraoJim Cornette is in the news again for all the wrong reasons as the pro wrestling veteran resigned from NWA on the back of the offensive comments he made about Trevor Murdoch during NWA Powerrr.
A fan tweeted out a suggestion on Cornette's Twitter handle, proposing the idea of him possibly appearing on WWE Backstage as a guest.
Paige and Renee Young commented on the fan's tweet and shot down any possibility of Cornette appearing on the FS1 show.
While Paige responded with a casual 'Nah, we're good', Renee Young laughed off the idea and reacted with a 'hard no'.
Cornette created quite a stir during the most recent episode of NWA Powerrr when he made some very questionable remarks about Trevor Murdoch in the spur of the moment. His comments were deemed to be racist and resulted in the show being temporarily taken off the air.
The legendary manager lost his NWA job in the aftermath of the entire incident as the promotion put out a statement confirming his departure.
Cornette is now a free agent again and he has the option to continue voicing his opinions about the current landscape of pro wrestling on his podcasts.
He returned to WWE after 12 years in 2017 to induct The Rock N' Roll Express into the WWE Hall of Fame. The outspoken 58-year-old veteran was even part of an episode of WWE's 'Table For 3' in 2018. His recent appearances make us believe that there could be a way for him to work for the WWE in some capacity again.
However, if we go by the reactions of Renee Young and Paige, Cornette is certainly not a wanted man in WWE.
We guess getting back CM Punk is more than enough for now.
Now you can rate RAW, SmackDown and NXT matches on Sportskeeda !

Expect more content to be added here in the near future. I'm in the process of recreating this site from scratch.


I love YouTube because its huge library of content is so readily available through its great recommendation tool. Over time, the site's ability to predict the videos you would like to watch next has become very impressive, and it's a huge reason why it's on this list. The home page is great; it offers videos you might want to watch based on your previous history, what's popular on YouTube, channels you've watched before, etc. while remaining visually appealing. After a video, the site does a great job of recommending related videos, as well as videos it knows you might want to watch based on your tastes.
Wikipedia does a great job of keeping me entertained as well, although for me, the home page doesn't play a huge role in my relationship with the site. Instead I generally go to Wikipedia to look up a fact or idea, and then I get lost in the links to other articles embedded in what I'm reading. It works nicely because readers are interested in their current article, and by offering the chance to browse related topics, the site offers more content that interests the user.
The first couple of times I visited Reddit, I got overwhelmed and left. The garble of links on center of the front page can really intimidate new users. If it wasn't for a friend who urged me to keep checking it out it definitely wouldn't make the list. That being said, it's is a favorite website of mine because the link rating system is great at making sure that enjoyable content always floats to the top. It's great at finding appealing content and staving off boredom. I usually feel entertained at first, but over time it evolves into regret over wasted time.

“At the Q gathering in 2010, urbanologist Richard Florida observed that young adults meeting one another no longer ask, ‘What do you do?’ They ask, ‘Where do you live?’ More and more people will change careers in order to stay in a place—connected to family, friends, and local culture—than will change place to stay in a career. The 20th-century American dream was to move out and move up; the 21st-century dream seems to be to put down deeper roots. This quest for local, embodied, physical presence may well be driven by the omnipresence of the virtual and a dawning awareness of the thinness of disembodied life.”

Let's first start with explaining what is "Enumerable" is. Well, before it gets confusing, I'll put it in simple terms. "Enumerable" is a collections of methods that can interact, meaning "included with", with other classes. By implementing them in the beginning of our code it allows us to only have to use them once instead of having to define them each time we want to use them again. That is in short what programmers refer to "inheritance". Since coding is like a family tree, the rich grand, grand, grand, grand, grandad code can pass down it's riches to the younger code.
"Enumerable" has in it's toolbox the method #each. It can be used with arrays, hashes, ranges, etc. It has the ability to go through each item in, let's say, an array and cast whatever condition was previously defined or following the method #each. By "definded" I mean, whatever action you want each item in the array (aka list) to do. Now let's move on to the method "group_by".
For example:
The method "group_by" will run the condition or conditions that that come after it in the code you wrote. However, after running that code, it will return a "hash". So in the example above we can use "sort_by" like this:


- isEven() takes a single numaric argument and returns true if it is even, fales if it is fales.
- factorial() takes a single numeric argument and returns a factorial of tha number. Takes a number and * it with every number below it. so 4! is 3*3*2*1, 0! is 1.
- kebabToSnake()takes a singel kebab-cased string argment and returns snake_cased verstion


The News Feeds (RSS) module displays a summary list of news feeds from one or more sources. A news feed is a dynamically generated list of news items. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. Each news item typically includes a date/time stamp, a linked title to read the news item in full, and a brief description. A selection of pre-defined layouts are included allowing you to display the news items in either a static list, as a single scrolling 'ticker' list, as a vertical scrolling list, or in a custom format.
Installation Note: This module must be deployed and installed on your site by a SuperUser.

Did you ever try to use Postman with OAuth 2.0 protected API? It is pretty annoying. First you must select the correct authorization type, then you must open a popup to request a new access token, and only then you can send your HTTP request. And of course when the token expires or when for some reason you need a new one (e.g. because you want to switching from development to staging environment), you need to go through the process again. Fortunately for us this can be automated using Postman pre-request scripts.
To test that my pre-request script works I used publicly available IdentityServer demo instance. We may use it to manually generate a new access token and to preform a test API call:
OK, so how will we automate this stuff? Let’s start by creating a new collection that will contain all requests for which we want to automatically generate OAuth access tokens: On Authorization tab use {{accessToken}} as a value of the Access Token field, this way Postman will try to load the token value from a variable: We will populate this variable using the following pre-request script:
Which should be set on Pre-request Scripts tab: Let’s save all changes.
Now we must add a new request to our collection: This is very important. Without this step our pre-request script will not be called: When creating the new request we should select “Inherit auth from parent” as the authentication type.
Now if we send our test request we should get 200 OK
response:
Making our pre-request script work with multiple environments
Often we have to work with multiple environments like development, staging (UAT) and production. Each of these environments uses different URLs for services and for OAuth authorization server. Not to mention that each environment will have its own set of client secrets (passwords).
Fortunately for us Postman has build in support for multiple environments. Let’s start by creating a new environment with all necessary values that are needed by our pre-request script:
Then we must modify our script to use values from the selected environment:
And that is all. Now we must define all environments that we need and we are ready to go:
Troubleshooting
Select View -> Show Postman Console
to see all log statements
made by our pre-request script:
Also using traffic sniffer like Fiddler or ZAP to compare requests made by auth popup and pre-request script may be helpful:
If you are going to use ZAP do not forget to set ZAP as a proxy in Postman settings.


My roommate and i had obtained 1 gram of 5x Salvia divinorium. Upon looking at the vial, in respect to the wide range of reports which i'd researched eagerly on erowid and the lycaeum, i really wasn't sure what to expect.
Quite honestly, mental rape would be a light description of what occurred.
i don't know what all those other psychonauts were smoking when they talk about seeing entities, or projecting into other lives, as the experience i had was vastly more disturbing and disorienting than i was prepared for, and vastly different than the aforementioned reports.
I smoked about two full tokes and a third, lighter inhalation, and after setting the pipe down (i used a black TATTOO pipe), i was immediately transported into what i can easily describe as the most frightening experience i've had with a drug.
The environment is still there with eyes open, but it's as if there is some strange, digitalized visual 'noise' which breaks it down into a picture much too distorted to be recognizable.
That wasn't so bad, but the somatic/bodily effects caught me completely unprepared. It was as if i was split in two; right brain/left brain and their corresponding body parts became essentially two different entities, independent of one another. Imagine, if you will, a single entity consisting of a leg, some torso, and an arm, connected to a relatively identical, yet opposite entity by what felt to be mere elastic material (skin).
i lifted my arm and my hand looked alien and visually displeasing--the fingers seemed more like thick, animalistic appendages, each distinctly individual.
It was as if the salvia broke my perception of self into its true, separate components, and allowed my Self to explore them on that level. Instead of seeing a hand, i saw 5 almost tube-like appendages connected by a bit of insignificant flesh. Instead of feeling my Self as one thing, i felt every facet in its separate existence and relationship with one another.
Other visuals crowded in which i can barely remember correctly to convey; however, my immediate reaction to this physical disorientation, especially since the 'feel' of it was so vastly beyond what i expected, was panic. The only thing that kept me (if i could've done it) from killing myself was the knowledge that the salvia was so short acting.
I tried it again last night, with similar results, except this time i had some music playing, and i had the wherewithal to ease into this experience with some previous frame of reference. Closing my eyes, it seemed that the music and every thought i had would move in a strange counter-clockwise square-like pattern underneith my eyelids.
This drug seems to 'hold' you in place unless you truly let yourself go. The more one resists, the more caged and psychically claustraphobic one feels. I didn't leave my body or the environment, but provided there is no distraction, and provided one lets go absolutely, i could see how such 'projection' could be conceivable. Admittedly, i was resistent; something i hope to rectify in the future.
Short acting trip, tapering into something immediately much more tolerable and mentally stimulating. This drug does not activate any emotive response from me--it seems entirely mental, and after the trips, i noted an increased sharpness in my perceptions, in color, touch and especially thought.
This is NOT a recreational drug. This drug makes liquid acid seem like sugar water. I can see how this particular 'diviner's sage' would be for the serious student of the mind and perception.
As such, i was quite impressed. I've always been very adaptive due to the nature of my own existence, so my recovery despite its extreme nature was relatively immediate, as was the value i received from the experience in retrospect.
First of all, it reminded me of the very real nature of my physical existence, which is the beautiful and fascinating coordination of an intricate biological machine. Separate components acting as one in an automatic sense. Remarkable, and truly something i'd forgotten to appreciate.
Second, it showed me that consciousness in the typical 'sober' state isn't nearly as challenging as i, and others, sometimes believe it to be. This mundane life is easy, even if it is boring.
We may very well have only touched upon the point before breaking through to the plateaus/hyperspace so often portrayed in the reports i've read. To determine this, my friend and i will be trying the 10x shortly.

_Dungeons_&_Dragons_ (PG-13) no stars (out of ****)
Director Courtney Solomon spent the better part of ten years trying to make his boyhood obsession, the perennially popular role playing game Dungeons & Dragons, into a feature film, but none of the passion that fact would entail ends up on screen. What does show up all too clearly in _Dungeons_&_Dragons_ is rookie helmer Solomon's lack of experience in film, let alone with a project of such large, effects-laden scale. D&D enthusiasts have been clamoring for a film adaptation since the game came on the scene 26 years ago, and while I am not a player myself, I am certain that this sloppy slice of schlock is hardly what the fandom had in mind.
The setting is a mythical medieval empire, and the 17-year-old Empress Savina's (Thora Birch) goal of removing the class division between the magic-practicing Mages and everyone else runs into a snag when the evil wizard Profion (Jeremy Irons) turns her government advisors against her. Exactly how, I don't know. But it's not so much control over the kingdom that Profion wants than a magical rod--one that will bring red dragons under his command. The Empress possesses a rod that gives her power over green dragons. If this makes any sense to you, let me know, because it's all an incoherent jumble to me.
In any event, a trio of plucky young people proves to be Profion and henchman Damodar's (Bruce Payne) biggest obstacle in locating the coveted rod. They are fledgling young Mage Marina (Zoe McLellan) and the thievery team of Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans). True to their larcenous roots, Ridley and Snails jump into the do-good biz in hopes of pocketing a large reward, but, of course, the heroic instincts within ultimately purify their intentions.
Given that the source material is a game, a weak plot is just about expected (what isn't is just how inscrutable it also is, but that's another issue entirely), for the emphasis should be on action set pieces. As I mentioned, I was never a D&D player, but I do know that navigation through booby-trapped mazes and dungeons is a big part of the game (one of the more exciting elements, from what I remember from friends who played back in junior high). So it would only follow that _D&D_ the movie would be packed with such set pieces. Alas, there's only one, and a mighty underwhelming one at that, featuring unimaginative traps and zero tension. Filling in the rest of the requisite action beats in the script credited to Topper Lilien and Carroll Cartwright are half-hearted swordfights often punctuated with some very chintzy magic effects.
Which leads me to the other half of the title, the dragons. The final act certainly has their fair share of them, green and red, all flying around and battling dragon and human alike. Never mind that their sudden arrival in the story is barely (if even that) explained; these creatures are CGI creations that look every bit like digital FX work. To top it off, all the CG work, from the dragons to various animated backdrops to simple magic dust, is not-so-seamlessly integrated into the live action. The only flourish that slightly convinces is a fairly simple ripple effect used to depict teleportation holes.
Not only is Solomon obviously not able to pull off the technical aspects of this project, he's also clueless with his cast. Whalin and McLellan are embarrassingly amateurish, the latter especially so, with her invariably stilted line readings. The insulting role of the buffoonish, wisecracking African-American sidekick (we all know what ultimately lies in store for this type of character) brings out the worst broad instincts in Wayans. Birch seems embalmed, her Amidala-lite costumes apparently constricting her throat so that she speaks in a constant monotone. Worst of all, however, is the Oscar winner of the lot, Irons; Solomon apparently thought that since he's such a reputable thespian, Irons should not simply be given free rein, but no reins at all. What a horrendous mistake that turns out to be, for Irons is just one small step short of foaming at the mouth in every single scene.
The big mistake, however, is making _Dungeons_&_Dragons_ in the first place. The reason why video game movies have all failed is that the element of interactivity that made them so special to begin with is lost. Of course, the same idea holds true for a role playing game movie, but there's an even larger miscalculation at play: the sights and scenarios imagined during the course of playing such a game will always be more vivid and exciting than those an FX crew could cook up--especially the type of low-rent crew that can only be afforded by a neophyte director with no formal training working with independently-raised overseas money.

Analyzing mathematical constraints for beam steering
19 Feb 2016I want to do this:
In that simulation, a device scans a beam across a 3D space, where it hits sensors which calibrate the beam’s position and orientation so that it can be pointed at specific objects. As I move towards implementing a real-life version, I wanted to nail down some of the constraints which will determine how well the system can perform, in terms of scanning speed and resolution.
Skip to a section:
Field of View
Our beam-steering device has the ability to redirect an incident beam up to some half-angle . In the case of the device I’ll be working with, I’ve been told that this is around 30 degrees in any direction – up, down, left, or right.
We can model the field of view of the device as a cone with a half-angle of . At a given distance , we can use trig to compute the width of this field of view as
For example, if our device has a half-angle of 30 degrees and is positioned 10 feet away from a surface, we can estimate that the field of view will be approximately feet wide.
Scanning Speed
The next factor to consider is the speed at which the device can scan. For our device, the time it takes to travel from one end of its range to the other, , is about 12 milliseconds. In order for a sensor to detect the presence of a beam pointed at it, the microcontroller must sample the output of the sensor while the beam is still shining upon the sensor’s surface. This means that the sampling rate of the microcontroller determines how long the beam must shine on a sensor in order to successfully register a hit.
Let’s assume we want the beam to sweep as fast as possible. That means that, in order to ensure that any sensor within the field of view will be illuminated long enough to see the beam as it scans across, the radius of the beam must be equal to or larger than the distance traveled by the beam over the course of one sample. (This makes the assumption that the center of the beam passes directly over the sensor, but it’s just an estimate!)
This concept is shown in the animation below. The blue circle is twice as wide as the red circle. The red and blue numbers represent how long each circle overlaps the black spot in the center as they travel across it. You can see that the blue circle overlaps the dot roughly twice as long as the red one does. You can find the code for this demonstration here.
Beam Width
Instead of computing the ideal beam radius at a particular distance, we can determine what proportion of the field of view must be occupied by the beam at any time to ensure that sensors will be tripped. We know that the beam travels the full width of the field of view in 12 milliseconds. Assuming a sampling time of 100 microseconds (standard for Arduino analog reads), this means that the sample time is 120x smaller than our sweep time. That means that, independent of the distance , the beam width must be greater than or equal to one 120th of the field of view width.
From earlier, was 10 feet and was 11.5 feet. That means must be at least = .096 feet, or 1.15 inches.
In general, this tells us that we can compute the minimum beam half-angle based only on , and .
This gives us a of = .276 degrees.
This also tells us that we can further reduce the minimum beam width by decreasing . It looks like there are some tricks to reduce analog Arduino reads down to about 16 microseconds. Plugging that in for , we get a minimum of .0441 degrees, and a minimum of .184 inches.
Resolution and Scanning Time
Since our beam width determines the resolution of our scan, this means that by increasing the sampling frequency of our sensors, we can perform higher-resolution scans at faster speeds.
There’s a catch, though – the smaller we make the beam, the longer the scan will take. The smaller is, the more rows we have to scan to cover the entire space. Assuming that the FOV is square (which it isn’t) and that the beam is 750x smaller than its width, this could take milliseconds. That’s way too long!
Thankfully, our device gives us dynamic control over the beam width, and we’re not required to scan the laser over the entire field of view for every scan. The trick will be to tune the beam width for faster or slower scans, and to develop a scanning algorithm that maximizes resolution while minimizing overall scan time. We’ll also have to account for the fact that, since the cross-sections of the FOV and beam are both approximately circular, we’ll need to adjust these calculations to account for partial overlap between the beam and the sensor and the reduced space of the FOV which lies within a square projection if we want to take a row-scanning approach.
Light Intensity
Pairing the power of our laser to the sensitivity of our sensors is going to be tricky. As gets larger, the same amount of light intensity is spread over a larger area upon impacting a surface. This means that the intensity of the light hitting our sensors decreases dramatically with the distance to the target, , since the area of the cross-section of the beam increases with the square of its radius, and we’re treating light intensity as energy per unit area.
To overcome this, we’ll either have to make sure our sensors are sensitive enough to pick up small changes in light intensity, or we’ll have to use a stronger laser. I’m going to have to consult with experts to ensure that our solution works at functional ranges without posing a danger to users, since any laser being scanned across an indoor space needs to be eye-safe.


SoftBank and Line to form $30B company
by Manny PhamSoftBank subsidiary Z Holdings (formerly Yahoo Japan) is to merge with mobile messaging app Line (owned by Naver) in a deal designed to create a $30 billion company capable of competing with US and China tech powerhouses.
In a statement, SoftBank said “there is currently a big difference between such overseas companies and those in Japan and other Asian countries, other than China.”
A legally binding contract is targeted to be inked in December with the deal to be completed by October next year.
Talks have concluded quickly after first reports leaked last week.
SoftBank and Naver will each hold a 50 per cent stake in Z Holdings, which will control Line and Yahoo Japan.
The deal values Line at $11.5 billion. Line has over 82 million users in Japan according to figures from Statistia for Q3 this year. The app offers an array of services alongside instant messaging such as mobile payment, taxi hailing and music streaming.
Yahoo records over 50 million active users, remaining a popular search engine in Japan, while its Western presence has diminished.
Together, Line and Yahoo Japan will be able to share engineering resources, access broader sets of data and invest more in areas like artificial intelligence, chief executive officers said in a Tokyo press conference.

The ntpd
program is an operating system daemon that synchronizes the
system clock to remote NTP time servers or local reference clocks.
It is a complete implementation of NTP version 4 defined by RFC-5905, but
also retains compatible with version 3 defined by RFC-1305 and versions
1 and 2, defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119, respectively.
The program can operate in any of several modes, including client/server,
symmetric and broadcast modes, and with both symmetric-key and public-key
cryptography.
This document applies to version 4.2.7p368 of ntpd
.
The ntpd
program ordinarily requires
a configuration file described at ntp.conf.
This configuration file contains configuration commands described on
the pages listed above.
However a client can discover remote servers and configure them
automatically.
This makes it possible to deploy a fleet of workstations without
specifying configuration details specific to the local environment.
The ntpd
program normally operates continuously while adjusting the
system time and frequency, but in some cases this might not be
practical.
With the -q
option ntpd
operates as in continuous mode, but
exits just after setting the clock for the first time.
Most applications will probably want to specify the iburst
option with the server
command.
With this option an initial volley of messages is exchanged to
groom the data and set the clock in about ten seconds' time.
If nothing is heard after a few minutes' time,
the daemon times out and exits without setting the clock.
The
ntpd
utility is an operating system daemon which sets
and maintains the system time of day in synchronism with Internet
standard time servers.
It is a complete implementation of the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 4, as defined by RFC-5905,
but also retains compatibility with
version 3, as defined by RFC-1305, and versions 1
and 2, as defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119, respectively.
The
ntpd
utility does most computations in 64-bit floating point
arithmetic and does relatively clumsy 64-bit fixed point operations
only when necessary to preserve the ultimate precision, about 232
picoseconds.
While the ultimate precision is not achievable with
ordinary workstations and networks of today, it may be required
with future gigahertz CPU clocks and gigabit LANs.
Ordinarily,
ntpd
reads the
ntp.conf(5)
configuration file at startup time in order to determine the
synchronization sources and operating modes.
It is also possible to
specify a working, although limited, configuration entirely on the
command line, obviating the need for a configuration file.
This may
be particularly useful when the local host is to be configured as a
broadcast/multicast client, with all peers being determined by
listening to broadcasts at run time.
If NetInfo support is built into
ntpd
,
then
ntpd
will attempt to read its configuration from the
NetInfo if the default
ntp.conf(5)
file cannot be read and no file is
specified by the
-c
option.
Various internal
ntpd
variables can be displayed and
configuration options altered while the
ntpd
is running
using the
ntpq(1ntpqmdoc)
and
ntpdc(1ntpdcmdoc)
utility programs.
When
ntpd
starts it looks at the value of
umask(2)
,
and if zero
ntpd
will set the
umask(2)
to 022.

The following option preset mechanisms are supported: - examining environment variables named NTPD_* Please send bug reports to: <http://bugs.ntp.org<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This is the “force ipv4 dns name resolution” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv4 namespace.
This is the “force ipv6 dns name resolution” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv6 namespace.
This is the “require crypto authentication” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Require cryptographic authentication for broadcast client, multicast client and symmetric passive associations. This is the default.
This is the “do not require crypto authentication” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Do not require cryptographic authentication for broadcast client, multicast client and symmetric passive associations. This is almost never a good idea.
This is the “configuration file name” option. This option takes an argument string. The name and path of the configuration file, /etc/ntp.conf by default.
This is the “frequency drift file name” option.
This option takes an argument string.
The name and path of the frequency file,
/etc/ntp.drift
by default.
This is the same operation as the
driftfile
driftfile
configuration specification in the
/etc/ntp.conf
file.
This is the “allow the first adjustment to be big” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Normally,
ntpd
exits with a message to the system log if the offset exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s by default. This option allows the time to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. If the threshold is exceeded after that,
ntpd
will exit with a message to the system log. This option can be used with the
-q
and
-x
options.
See the
tinker
configuration file directive for other options.
This is the “jail directory” option. This option takes an argument string.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
HAVE_DROPROOT
during the compilation.
Chroot the server to the directory
jaildir
.
This option also implies that the server attempts to drop root privileges at startup.
You may need to also specify a
-u
option.
This option is only available if the OS supports adjusting the clock
without full root privileges.
This option is supported under NetBSD (configure with
--enable-clockctl
) and Linux (configure with
--enable-linuxcaps
).
This is the “listen on an interface name or address” option. This option takes an argument string iface.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Open the network address given, or all the addresses associated with the
given interface name. This option may appear multiple times. This option
also implies not opening other addresses, except wildcard and localhost.
This option is deprecated. Please consider using the configuration file
interface
command, which is more versatile.
This is the “path to symmetric keys” option.
This option takes an argument string.
Specify the name and path of the symmetric key file.
/etc/ntp.keys
is the default.
This is the same operation as the
keys
keyfile
configuration file directive.
This is the “path to the log file” option.
This option takes an argument string.
Specify the name and path of the log file.
The default is the system log file.
This is the same operation as the
logfile
logfile
configuration file directive.
This is the “do not listen to virtual interfaces” option.
Do not listen to virtual interfaces, defined as those with
names containing a colon. This option is deprecated. Please
consider using the configuration file interface
command, which
is more versatile.
This is the “modify multimedia timer (windows only)” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
SYS_WINNT
during the compilation.
Set the Windows Multimedia Timer to highest resolution. This ensures the resolution does not change while ntpd is running, avoiding timekeeping glitches associated with changes.
This is the “run at high priority” option.
To the extent permitted by the operating system, run
ntpd
at the highest priority.
This is the “path to the pid file” option.
This option takes an argument string.
Specify the name and path of the file used to record
ntpd
's
process ID.
This is the same operation as the
pidfile
pidfile
configuration file directive.
This is the “process priority” option.
This option takes an argument number.
To the extent permitted by the operating system, run
ntpd
at the specified
sched_setscheduler(SCHED_FIFO)
priority.
This is the “set the time and quit” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
ntpd
will not daemonize and will exit after the clock is first
synchronized. This behavior mimics that of the
ntpdate
program, which will soon be replaced with a shell script.
The
-g
and
-x
options can be used with this option.
Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.
This is the “broadcast/propagation delay” option. This option takes an argument string. Specify the default propagation delay from the broadcast/multicast server to this client. This is necessary only if the delay cannot be computed automatically by the protocol.
This is the “save parsed configuration and quit” option. This option takes an argument string.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
SAVECONFIG
during the compilation.
Cause ntpd
to parse its startup configuration file and save an
equivalent to the given filename and exit. This option was
designed for automated testing.
This is the “statistics file location” option.
This option takes an argument string.
Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics facility.
This is the same operation as the
statsdir
statsdir
configuration file directive.
This is the “trusted key number” option. This option takes an argument string tkey.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
Add the specified key number to the trusted key list.
This is the “run as userid (or userid:groupid)” option. This option takes an argument string.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
HAVE_DROPROOT
during the compilation.
Specify a user, and optionally a group, to switch to.
This option is only available if the OS supports adjusting the clock
without full root privileges.
This option is supported under NetBSD (configure with
--enable-clockctl
) and Linux (configure with
--enable-linuxcaps
).
This is the “interval in seconds between scans for new or dropped interfaces” option. This option takes an argument number. Give the time in seconds between two scans for new or dropped interfaces. For systems with routing socket support the scans will be performed shortly after the interface change has been detected by the system. Use 0 to disable scanning. 60 seconds is the minimum time between scans.
This is the “seconds to wait for first clock sync” option. This option takes an argument number.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
HAVE_WORKING_FORK
during the compilation.
If greater than zero, alters ntpd
's behavior when forking to
daemonize. Instead of exiting with status 0 immediately after
the fork, the parent waits up to the specified number of
seconds for the child to first synchronize the clock. The exit
status is zero (success) if the clock was synchronized,
otherwise it is ETIMEDOUT
.
This provides the option for a script starting ntpd
to easily
wait for the first set of the clock before proceeding.
This is the “slew up to 600 seconds” option.
Normally, the time is slewed if the offset is less than the step threshold, which is 128 ms by default, and stepped if above the threshold.
This option sets the threshold to 600 s, which is well within the accuracy window to set the clock manually.
Note: Since the slew rate of typical Unix kernels is limited to 0.5 ms/s, each second of adjustment requires an amortization interval of 2000 s.
Thus, an adjustment as much as 600 s will take almost 14 days to complete.
This option can be used with the
-g
and
-q
options.
See the
tinker
configuration file directive for other options.
Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.
This is the “use cpu cycle counter (windows only)” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
SYS_WINNT
during the compilation.
Attempt to substitute the CPU counter for QueryPerformanceCounter
.
The CPU counter and QueryPerformanceCounter
are compared, and if
they have the same frequency, the CPU counter (RDTSC on x86) is
used directly, saving the overhead of a system call.
This is the “force cpu cycle counter use (windows only)” option. This option takes an argument string.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
SYS_WINNT
during the compilation.
Force substitution the CPU counter for QueryPerformanceCounter
.
The CPU counter (RDTSC on x86) is used unconditionally with the
given frequency (in Hz).
This is the “register with mdns as a ntp server” option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
HAVE_DNSREGISTRATION
during the compilation.
Registers as an NTP server with the local mDNS server which allows the server to be discovered via mDNS client lookup.
Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by
loading values from environment variables named NTPD
and NTPD_<OPTION_NAME>
. <OPTION_NAME>
must be one of
the options listed above in upper case and segmented with underscores.
The NTPD
variable will be tokenized and parsed like
the command line. The remaining variables are tested for existence and their
values are treated like option arguments.
The command line options relating to configuration and/or usage help are:
Print the program version to standard out, optionally with licensing information, then exit 0. The optional argument specifies how much licensing detail to provide. The default is to print just the version. The licensing infomation may be selected with an option argument. Only the first letter of the argument is examined:
One of the following exit values will be returned:


When I entered middle school, I had a tough time adjusting to the early wake-up times, so I drank coffee every morning. It was never a problem. I loved the taste and it always woke me up a bit. After a year, though, I got used to waking up early and decided to stop drinking coffee since I figured it probably wasn't very good for a growing kid.
I did not drink coffee again until my sophomore year in high school.
When I started my sophomore year, I joined the rowing team. The fall season went fine - we had practices in the afternoon that ended soon enough for me to get home and do homework while still being able to get a good amount of sleep. Unfortunately, the spring season was worse.
In the spring, the district decided to make the high school begin one hour later every morning - meaning crew practice would now begin at 6 am every morning. Fuuuuuuck. So, naturally, I started drinking coffee again, but only after practice - right before school started.
At first it didn't seem to be causing a problem, although I did notice that after one cappuccino I would feel really wired unlike back in middle school. Of course, I thought nothing of it, figuring that if I can smoke weed and get drunk, caffeine shouldn't be a problem.
However, one day, after a particularly grueling day of practice, I decided to go with a large cappuccino instead of a small. Again, everything seemed fine at first - until a few hours later. In the middle of my global history class (fourth period), I started to feel funny. Suddenly it occurred to me that I had been acting strange all day. I had been talking a lot more than normal (not to say I'm usually quiet, I'm just not overly talkative) and even twitching involuntarily. Suddenly I had this feeling that all the blood in my body was flowing inwards - like I was about to implode. While my teacher droned away, I started to have a panic attack.
I was overwhelmed by this completely unreasonable feeling of extreme anxiety, agitation, and energy. It was as if all the caffeine from that morning suddenly exploded in my brain. I couldn't hear at all, I felt completely cold despite the fact that I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't work up the nerve to speak either. I was terrified that if I told someone what was happening I would be mocked. After about twenty minutes the feeling passed, but I felt a little shellshocked for the rest of the day.
Naturally, I've decided to never drink coffee unless I really need it (and even then only in small amounts). While I do not in any way discourage drinking coffee, I would like to mention that although most people drink coffee regularly, some people can have very bad reactions to the caffeine. Just be careful.

The iPhone is a great ebook reader in theory, but I haven’t found a good way to read PDF content so far.
There are a ton of file manager apps like Air Sharing ($4.99; I got it when it was free) and Files Lite (free) that can show PDF files without conversion. You can also open PDFs via mail, stored as data in bookmarks etc.
Browsing the PDFs is fast, and the rendering is beautiful. However:
The PDF viewing in these apps is not optimized for reading. This is a general issue I have with many iPhone apps. There are many constraints, like the small screen and slow input, that should be paid more respect.
These apps all seem to use the same PDF view, which wastes a lot of space on a gray background and dropshadows. And when you’ve zoomed in to get at the content, this wasted space means you must be careful to only scroll vertically or the good parts go offscreen (tip: scroll with your finger against the edge of the screen).
My ideal iPhone PDF reader would have no such wasted space. Preferably it should hide a big chunk of the PDF margins, too, assuming they have no content.
Also, since you often need to zoom in beyond the width of a line of text to see it clearly, it should have simple navigation where you can tap once to go one screenful (minus some overlap for context) towards the end of the line, then once you’ve reached the end of the line, tap again to go to the start of the line and down one screenful, etc.
There should also be a rotation lock, so you can read on your side in bed.
I haven’t seen such an app, but I hope someone would make one – I’m sure a lot of people would be happy to pay for it.


Example of CoordTransform.globalToLocal() and DisplayObject.cache() usage. Click to begin drawing. If you draw a large number of line segments, the animation will start to slow down or stutter due to the amount of vector data being rendered each tick. When you release the mouse, the vector Shape is cached, and it will animate quickly again. When you click again, it will turn off caching in order to draw new line segments.
