--- layout: post title: Welcome to Tank and Spank! tags: - first - intro - post - wow status: publish type: post published: true meta: _aktt_hash_meta: '' _edit_last: '1' --- And welcome to the inaugural post! The idea behind Tank and spank has been bubbling round in the back of my head for quite some time now. You see I have been playing WoW for well over 5 years now (I know , I know GONL!!), and I have been tanking and staring at crotches for almost all of that time. I have had many highs, a few lows, a few burnt out moments, but overall I have always had a lot of fun. Back in May 2010, I decided that I needed a break from the game. We were moving back to the UK, we had a new born, Cataclysm was around the corner, ICC held little in the way of interest.  I have been keeping up on alpha and beta news and with all the changes coming our way it truly looks like a new game is on the horizon. So I started planning this little site and by planning really I mean thinking about an idea. I wanted to write a little about the game I love, I wanted to write about tanking. I wanted to keep track of the changes to Tanking and share my thoughts. However I also wanted to explore making movies and using some of the social networking tools out there to find like minded individuals and to engage with. Enough rambling for now, without further ado I bid you farewell until the next post.

Graph Representation¶
The graph class¶
The basic data structure in fault-diangosis is a bipartite structural graph, encoded in the GraphBipartite
class.
It contains equation vertices, variable vertices and edges which connect the first two.
The GraphBipartite
class is meant to serve only as a data structure, not as an API. All operations on the GraphBipartite
object should be handles by the parent GraphInterface
object.
All of the vertice and edge classes are subclasses of the GraphElement
superclass. The basic property of each GraphElement
is its unique id. The IDProvider
class objects provides unique IDs for every new GraphElement
.
A unique ID allows for continuous tracking of graph elements throughout any graph transformations.
Vertex class¶
Each vertex, either an equation or a variable includes the following properties:
- alias - a human readable name
- edgeIDArray - an array containing the IDs of the edges adjacent to the vertex
- neighbourArray - an array containing the IDs of the immediate neighbouring vertices to this vertex
- matchedTo - the ID of the vertex this vertex is (potentially) matched to
Equations¶
Equation
is a subclass of the Vertex
class.
Variables¶
Variables
is a subclass of the Vertex
class. They carry qualitative information via the (non-exclusive) properties:
- isKnown - whether this variable is known
- isMeasured - whether this variable is a known system measurement
- isInput, isOutput - whether this variable is a system IO
- isResidual - whether this variable is a residual signal
Edge class¶
The Edge
class encodes most of the structural information of the class, through the following properties:
- weight - weight information reflecting the cost of the solution of the adjacent variable by the adjacent equation
- isDerivative, isIntegral, isNonSolvable - These properties carry the causality information

java.lang.Object org.simpleframework.xml.transform.Transformer
public class Transformer
The Transformer
object is used to convert strings to
and from object instances. This is used during the serialization
and deserialization process to transform types from the Java class
libraries, as well as other types which do not contain XML schema
annotations. Typically this will be used to transform primitive
types to and from strings, such as int
values.
@Element private String[] value;For example taking the above value the array of strings needs to be converted in to a single string value that can be inserted in to the element in such a way that in can be read later. In this case the serialized value of the string array would be as follows.
<value>one, two, three</value>Here each non-null string is inserted in to a comma separated list of values, which can later be deserialized. Just to note the above array could be annotated with
ElementList
just
as easily, in which case each entry would have its own element.
The choice of which annotation to use is up to the developer. A
more obvious benefit to transformations like this can be seen for
values annotated with the Attribute
annotation.

DataStoreOpen(), DataStoreNewRecord(), DataStoreSetField(), DataStoreSaveRecord()
To manage synchronization between applications accessing the same datastore, the DataStore Manager creates a "session" each time an application opens a datastore with
DataStoreOpen()
. Each session has its own "record buffer;" to modify a record, you must load it into the record buffer first. The loaded record is called the "current record." There can only be one record loaded in the buffer at a time.
DataStoreNewRecord()
adds a new record and makes that record the "current record."
To write to a record, call
DataStoreSetField()
. When you write to a record, you are actually writing to a copy of the record loaded in the record buffer. Any changes made to this copy do not become permanent until you call
DataStoreSaveRecord()
. To cancel changes, call
DataStoreDiscardChanges()
. Both routines flush the current record from the buffer.
Most routines that access fields (such as
DataStoreSetField()
) take both a
FieldID
and a field name as parameters. You can reference the field by either parameter. To reference a field by its name, pass its name in the name parameter and zero in the
FieldID
parameter. To reference a field by its
FieldID
, pass its
FieldID
in the
FieldID
parameter andNULL in the name parameter. Fields are numbered from zero. (There are routines for obtaining the
FieldID
corresponding to a given field name and vice versa; see
DataStoreFieldNameToID()
and
DataStoreFieldIDToName()
in the C Reference Book.)
The following code example shows how to open an existing datastore, add a new record, and write data to two of its fields.
Code Display 9-2 Adding a Record to a DataStore
/* Opening a datastore returns a token. */ word dsToken;
/* * Saving changes to a record returns both the record's RecordNum * and RecordID */ RecordID recordID; RecordNum recordNum;
/* * Open the "Exchange Rates" datastore with sharable access * (i.e., no flag passed). "Oself" refers to the object which is to * receive change notifications; in this case, assume oself refers to * the process class. */ if(DataStoreOpen("Exchange Rates", oself, 0, &dsToken) == DSE_NO_ERROR) { /* Add a new record. */ if(DataStoreNewRecord(dsToken) == DSDE_NO_ERROR) { /* * Write data to the country and exchange rate fields. * You can refer to a field by its name or FieldID; * the examples below show both methods. */ TCHAR countryBuffer[] = "Albania";
/* refer to a field by its name */ DataStoreSetField(dsToken, "country", 0, countryBuffer, strlen(countryBuffer));
FloatNum rateBuffer = .9234;
/* refer to a field by its FieldID */ DataStoreSetField(dsToken, NULL, 3, &rateBuffer, sizeof(rateBuffer));
/* Save the record. */ DataStoreSaveRecord(dsToken, 0, 0, &recordNum, &recordID); } /* Close the datastore. */ DataStoreClose(dsToken); }
DataStoreSaveRecord()
writes the
RecordNum
and
RecordID
of the saved record to the passed variables. A record's
RecordNum
is its relative place in the datastore; this value may change when records are added or deleted. A record's
RecordID
is its unique identifier and does not change.
RecordNums
are numbered from zero;
RecordIDs
are numbered from one.
You can use a callback function with
DataStoreSaveRecord()
to specify where in the datastore the record is to be saved. The calling routine passes the record to be inserted (rec1) and a record from the datastore (rec2) to the callback; the callback decides which of the two records comes before the other. (The callback cannot modify the records, however.)
The callback should return a value greater than zero if rec1 comes before rec2; otherwise, a value less than zero. Declaration of Callback Function in DataStoreSaveRecord() shows the declaration of the callback.
Code Display 9-3 Declaration of Callback Function in DataStoreSaveRecord()
sword SortCallback(RecordHeader *rec1, RecordHeader *rec2, word dsToken, void *cbData);
The actual data in the record follows the
RecordHeader
. Use
DataStoreGetFieldPtr()
or
DataStoreFieldEnum()
to access fields within the records.
typedef struct { RecordID RH_uniqueID; byte RH_fieldCount; /* # of fields */ word RH_size; /* # of bytes */ } RecordHeader;
If you do not specify a callback routine in
DataStoreSaveRecord()
, it will insert the record according to values in the key field(s). If two records have matching values in one key field, they will be inserted according to the first
non-matching
key field value. Records with matching key field(s) values are stored in the order they are added. Records with empty key fields are inserted at the beginning of the file.
If there is no callback or key, records are added to the end of the file.


Before Change
// Reshape to do in a single forward pass for all steps

Getting Disqus to Work With Jekyll and gh-pages
Since I migrated from Blogger to jekyll based site with gh-pages, I needed a channel for comments and discussions. I had used Disqus in my previous blog. So, I thought of using it again for my new blog.
##Getting Started
Simple steps to get Disqus working on jekyll with gh-pages. Two parts:
- Disqus and
- Jekyll
###Disqus
- Log into Disqus
- Goto
Settings
>Admin
> on the left side dropdown menu, selectAdd a new site
. - Give your site name and a
shortname
, which will be your unique Disqus URL. - Get the Universal Code and copy the snippet.
###Jekyll
####Step 1:
Your gh-pages
may have the following hierarchy:
####Step 2:
Create a file _includes/comments.html
and include the copied content from Disqus Universal Code in the file as below.
Please make sure you comment the developer variable to run it live!
####Step 3:
In the _layouts/default.html
file include the comments file just created as below. Refer _layouts/default.html
####Step 4:
Make sure all the posts within _posts
have comments:true
in the frontmatter.
You are now good to go!
Happy discussing! :)

Every week I comb through 1000s of articles that get curated down to somewhere between 60 to 100 URLs eligible for DevOps'ish. Those URLs land in this notes file that ends up being source material for the newsletter. Being in that group of links is an achievement of its own and should be lauded.
It's a shame when I have to choose between having too many links or someone's special thing getting featured in the newsletter. Here's another chance to shine!

It is possible to have no date currently selected in the control. With this style, the control displays a check box that users can check once they have entered or selected a date. Until this check box is checked, the application will not be able to retrieve the date from the control because, in essence, the control has no date.


I had never even tried more than once substance at once, so I decided, Ephedrine couldn't be dangerous, and I smoked weed alot with only 1 bad experience. I took about 60 mg Ephedrine, and decided to smoke the weed.  I went upstairs to my room and smoked 4 bowls of it. I was seriously fucked.
I could feel the effects after the first puff, but the ephedrine had started to take its effect, and making my heart pound faster and harder. I thought I was going to die. The blood was rushing through my body way too fast, and it was getting hotter with each pump. Sometimes when I smoke weed, I get kind of anxious, and my blood pressure gets to the point where my hands are shaking. This was one of those times. The ephedrine only made it worse, and I felt like my chest was on fire, the blood was pumping way too fast. I leaned back and it went up to my neck. My jaw locked and I was scared as hell that I was having a heart attack or something. I don't know to this day whether I had a heart attack or not.  I remembered back to something I had read when I used to go to church. I was thinking I was gonna be in that amount of pain for 1000 years or something.  When you're in that position, you feel like anything is possible.
I calmed down after about half an hour, and realized I wasn't in hell. I'm not saying anything is wrong with weed OR ephedrine. Fuck, I love weed. Just don't over do it with ephedrine.

@Reid Barton @Johan Commelin Are you happy with my changes?
There are almost no changes right? Or am I missing something. I would say... let's merge this.
I don't really understand what's going on here...
@Simon Hudon You are changing mathlib... so that it compiles with 3.5.0c? And it also still compiles with 3.4.2? How does that work? One of them wants two instances and the other only one...
That's right, it will compile with both. It broke because the instance was being fed its assumptions explicitly. I made it so that the instance can get the assumptions explicitly regardless of how many it needs.
Ok... go ahead and merge.
Thanks!
One thought: maybe a docstring is in order so people will know about this going forward?
Good idea
Oh, I hadn't thought about the need to make it compile with both Lean 3.4.2 and 3.5.0c. Makes sense now
Also yeah, comments around weird compatibility hacks are always helpful.

jl777c31-Oct-18 07:26 PM
no -ac parameter for changing blocktime
beybietron31-Oct-18 07:27 PM
thanks
does this also mean that the rate of data searchable by the kv key-value search feature is limited to approx 1 minute? so if I insert data now, I would have to wait for the block time which I think is 1 minute before it is searchable?
jl777c31-Oct-18 07:29 PM
yes
with oracles CC you could search the mempool, i guess you can also do that with KV. I recommend using oracles CC for new dapps

Thanks, I don't know what that is. Care to share a link please?


With this tutorial you will have the base understanding on how to build a game and play it using Carbuncle.
As of today, this version is lacking documentation and some features, but it's possible to build games using this.
Just download the binary file at the homepage and you are ready to go!
On Mac the process is mostly the same, you will probably require to authorize it to run on your PC in the security tab for now.
At the moment, the rest of the platforms are not being built. In the future, ports to iOS, Android and Linux are planned.
At the current version, Carbuncle requires a main.rb file to run. So create the following file named main.rb and put it in some folder:
Since Carbuncle 0.4 onwards, new methods can now be used for your application:
You can now just do: $ /your/path/to/carbuncle /your/game/folder
.
You can use this method to develop your game, but when you are done, you should use the distributable version below.
If Carbuncle reads a main.rb from the same folder it is currently installed, it will run that.
This is used to distribute your game with the carbuncle version you were using.
Note for MacOS users Because the Mac OSX version is an APP and not a binary file, your main.rb
should be inside your mac.app/Contents/MacOS
folder.
You can always see the package's contents by right clicking and selecting "view package's contents"
Now click on your application folder and you should see an empty window:

NAME
dbiproxy - A proxy server for the DBD::Proxy driverSYNOPSIS
dbiproxy <options> --localport=<port>
DESCRIPTION
This tool is just a front end for the DBI::ProxyServer package. All it does is picking options from the command line and calling DBI::ProxyServer::main(). See DBI::ProxyServer for details.Available options include:
- --chroot=dir
-
(UNIX only) After doing a bind(), change root directory to the given
directory by doing a chroot(). This is useful for security, but it
restricts the environment a lot. For example, you need to load DBI
drivers in the config file or you have to create hard links to Unix
sockets, if your drivers are using them. For example, with MySQL, a
config file might contain the following lines:
my $rootdir = '/var/dbiproxy'; my $unixsockdir = '/tmp'; my $unixsockfile = 'mysql.sock'; foreach $dir ($rootdir, "$rootdir$unixsockdir") { mkdir 0755, $dir; } link("$unixsockdir/$unixsockfile", "$rootdir$unixsockdir/$unixsockfile"); require DBD::mysql; { 'chroot' => $rootdir, ... }
If you don't know chroot(), think of an FTP server where you can see a certain directory tree only after logging in. See also the --group and --user options.
- --configfile=file
- Config files are assumed to return a single hash ref that overrides the arguments of the new method. However, command line arguments in turn take precedence over the config file. See the ``CONFIGURATION FILE'' section in the DBI::ProxyServer documentation for details on the config file.
- --debug
- Turn debugging mode on. Mainly this asserts that logging messages of level ``debug'' are created.
- --facility=mode
- (UNIX only) Facility to use for Sys::Syslog. The default is daemon.
- --group=gid
-
After doing a bind(), change the real and effective GID to the given.
This is useful, if you want your server to bind to a privileged port
(<1024), but don't want the server to execute as root. See also
the --user option.
GID's can be passed as group names or numeric values.
- --localaddr=ip
- By default a daemon is listening to any IP number that a machine has. This attribute allows to restrict the server to the given IP number.
- --localport=port
- This attribute sets the port on which the daemon is listening. It must be given somehow, as there's no default.
- --logfile=file
- Be default logging messages will be written to the syslog (Unix) or to the event log (Windows NT). On other operating systems you need to specify a log file. The special value ``STDERR'' forces logging to stderr. See Net::Daemon::Log for details.
- --mode=modename
-
The server can run in three different modes, depending on the environment.
If you are running Perl 5.005 and did compile it for threads, then the server will create a new thread for each connection. The thread will execute the server's Run() method and then terminate. This mode is the default, you can force it with ``--mode=threads''.
If threads are not available, but you have a working fork(), then the server will behave similar by creating a new process for each connection. This mode will be used automatically in the absence of threads or if you use the ``--mode=fork'' option.
Finally there's a single-connection mode: If the server has accepted a connection, he will enter the Run() method. No other connections are accepted until the Run() method returns (if the client disconnects). This operation mode is useful if you have neither threads nor fork(), for example on the Macintosh. For debugging purposes you can force this mode with ``--mode=single''.
- --pidfile=file
- (UNIX only) If this option is present, a PID file will be created at the given location. Default is to not create a pidfile.
- --user=uid
-
After doing a bind(), change the real and effective UID to the given.
This is useful, if you want your server to bind to a privileged port
(<1024), but don't want the server to execute as root. See also
the --group and the --chroot options.
UID's can be passed as group names or numeric values.
- --version
- Supresses startup of the server; instead the version string will be printed and the program exits immediately.

If you live in Øresund area (around Copenhagen / Malmö), check out our meetup group - The Øresund Frontend Meetup. Our next meetup will be a presentation by me - Mobile webapps with Phonegap.
Problem: Fragmentation. We need to code Dalvik Java for Android, Objective C on iOS. And then there's Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, Symbian, WebOS by HP/Palm...
Solution: Webapps! :D
HTML5 is not done until 2022 but we can cheat and use it today! Much of the same code can be intensely reused inbetween lots of different devices and platforms. Not to mention possible reuse for a future facebook app, Chrome extension...
The presentation will be about:
Don't hesitate to join The Øresund Frontend Meetup - it's free and awesome!


This is the JavaScript parser for the engine.io protocol encoding, shared by both engine.io-client and engine.io.
The parser can encode/decode packets, payloads, and payloads as binary
with the following methods: encodePacket
, decodePacket
, encodePayload
,
decodePayload
, encodePayloadAsBinary
, decodePayloadAsBinary
.
The browser-side parser also includes encodePayloadAsArrayBuffer
and encodePayloadAsBlob
.
Example:
var parser = require('engine.io-parser');
var data = new Buffer(5);
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { data[i] = i; }
parser.encodePacket({ type: 'message', data: data }, function(encoded) {
var decodedData = parser.decodePacket(encoded); // { type: 'message', data: data }
});
Engine.IO Parser is a commonjs module, which means you can include it by using
require
on the browser and package using browserify:
install the parser package
npm install engine.io-parser
write your app code
var parser = require('engine.io-parser');
var testBuffer = new Int8Array(10);
for (var i = 0; i < testBuffer.length; i++) testBuffer[i] = i;
var packets = [{ type: 'message', data: testBuffer.buffer }, { type: 'message', data: 'hello' }];
parser.encodePayload(packets, function(encoded) {
parser.decodePayload(encoded,
function(packet, index, total) {
var isLast = index + 1 == total;
if (!isLast) {
var buffer = new Int8Array(packet.data); // testBuffer
} else {
var message = packet.data; // 'hello'
}
});
});
build your app bundle
$ browserify app.js > bundle.js
include on your page
<script src="/path/to/bundle.js"></script>
Note: cb(type)
means the type is a callback function that contains a parameter of type type
when called.

)Standalone tests can be run with make test
which will run both node.js and browser tests.
Browser tests are run using zuul. (You must have zuul setup with a saucelabs account.)
You can run the tests locally using the following command:
./node_modules/.bin/zuul --local 8080 -- test/index.js
The support channels for engine.io-parser
are the same as socket.io
:
To contribute patches, run tests or benchmarks, make sure to clone the repository:

The REST API allows programmatic access to read oaDOI's data. It's free and open for anyone to use. The rate limit is 10k requests per day, but get in touch if you need more and we'll hook you up.
GET /
Gets information about the API. Returns a status object with version number. Try it here: https://api.oadoi.org
GET /:doi
Gets data about a single DOI. Although this is not a good method to use if you have a lot of DOIs, it's handy for testing because you can run it in your browser. Try this example: https://api.oadoi.org/10.1038/nature12373
POST /
Gets data about multiple DOIs. You can query up to 25 DOIs at a time this way. This helps you stay inside your rate limit, gets much faster results, and helps us make fewer requests to our data sources. Here's an example:
curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"dois": ["10.1038/nature12373", "10.1371/journal.pone.0000308"]}' "https://api.oadoi.org"
{
"doi": "10.1038/nature12873",
"doi_resolver": "crossref",
"evidence": "oa repository (via base-search.net oa url)",
"free_fulltext_url": "https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/12785839/3944098.pdf?sequence=1",
"is_boai_license": false,
"is_free_to_read": true,
"is_subscription_journal": true,
"license": "cc-by-nc",
"oa_color": "green",
"url": "http://doi.org/10.1038/nature12873"
}
Details on the response field. These are in progress; we'll continue to improve them this week:
doi
: the requested DOIdoi_resolver
: String. Possible values:
evidence
: String. A phrase summarizing the step of our OA detection process where we found the free_fulltext_url
.free_fulltext_url
: String. The url where we found a free-to-read version of the DOI. None when no free-to-read version was found.
is_boai_license
: Boolean. True whenever the license
is cc-by, cc0, or PD. This is the highly-regarded BOAI definition of Open accessis_free_to_read
: Boolean. True whenever the free_fulltext_url
is not None.is_subscription_journal
: Boolean. True whenever the journal is not in the Directory of Open Access Journals or DataCite.license
: String. Contains the name of the Creative Commons license associated with the free_fulltext_url
, whenever we find one. Example: "cc-by".oa_color
: String. Possible values:
url
: the canonical DOI URLThe API is versioned, and the API base URL specifies the current version. We're committed to supporting major releases (ones that break backwards compatibility) for six months. The current major version (v1) came out around November 1st, so it'll be supported through April 2017.
If your implementation must be tied to a specific major version of our API, use content-negotiation
to request that version of the API by sending an ACCEPT
header like this:
Accept: application/x.oadoi.v1+json

You'll now create four report pages, and on each page you’ll work with a different visual to analyze and explore data.
In this exercise, you'll create a scatter chart that can be animated.
In this task, you'll create a scatter chart that can be animated.
Rename Page 1 as Scatter Chart.
Add a scatter chart visual to the report page, and then position and resize it so that it fills the entire page.
Add the following fields to the visual wells:
The labs use a shorthand notation to reference a field. It looks like this: Reseller | Business Type. In this example, Reseller is the table name and Business Type is the field name.
Legend: Reseller | Business Type
X Axis: Sales | Sales
Y Axis: Sales | Profit Margin
Size: Sales | Quantity
Play Axis: Date | Quarter
The chart can be animated when a field is added to the Play Axis well.
In the Filters pane, add the Product | Category field to the Filters on this page well.
In the filter card, filter by Bikes.
To animate the chart, in the bottom-left corner, select Play.
Watch the entire animation cycle from FY2018 Q1 to FY2020 Q4.
The scatter chart allows you to see the measure values simultaneously. In this case, you can see order quantity, sales revenue, and profit margin.
Each bubble represents a reseller business type. Changes in the bubble size reflect increased or decreased order quantities. Horizontal movements represent increases or decreases in sales revenue. Vertical movements represent increases or decreases in profitability.
When the animation stops, select one of the bubbles to reveal its tracking over time.
Hover the cursor over any bubble to reveal a tooltip that describes the measure values for the reseller type at that point in time.
In the Filters pane, filter by Clothing only, and notice that it produces a different result.
Save the Power BI Desktop file.
In this exercise, you will create a forecast to determine possible future sales revenue.
In this task, you will create a forecast to determine possible future sales revenue.
Add a new page, and then rename the page to Forecast.
Add a line chart visual to the report page, and then reposition and resize it so that it fills the entire page.
Add the following fields to the visual wells:
Axis: Date | Date
Values: Sales | Sales
In the Filters pane, add the Date | Year field to the Filters on this page well.
In the filter card, filter by two years: FY2019 and FY2020.
When forecasting over a time line, you will need at least two cycles (years) of data to produce an accurate and stable forecast.
Add the Product | Category field to the Filters on this page well, and then filter by Bikes.
To add a forecast, beneath the Visualizations pane, select the Analytics pane.
Expand the Forecast section.
If the Forecast section is not available, it's likely because the visual hasn't been correctly configured. Forecasting is only available when two conditions are met:
Select Add.
Configure the following forecast properties:
Forecast length - 1 month
Confidence interval - 80%
Seasonality - 365
Select Apply.
In the line visual, notice that the forecast has extended one month beyond the history data.
The gray area represents the confidence. The wider the confidence, the less stable and, therefore, the less accurate the forecast is likely to be.
When you know the length of the cycle, in this case annual, you should enter the seasonality points. Sometimes, it could be weekly (7), or monthly (30).
In the Filters pane, filter by Clothing only, and notice that it produces a different result.
Save the Power BI Desktop file.
In this exercise, you will create a decomposition tree to explore the relationships between reseller geography and profit margin.
In this task, you'll create a decomposition tree to explore the relationships between reseller geography and profit margin.
Add a new page, and then rename the page to Decomposition Tree.
On the Insert ribbon, from inside the AI visuals group, select Decomposition Tree.
Tip
The AI visuals are also available in the Visualizations pane.
Reposition and resize the visual so that it fills the entire page.
Add the following fields to the visual wells:
Analyze: Sales | Profit Margin
Explain by: Reseller | Geography (the entire hierarchy)
In the Filters pane, add the Date | Year field to the Filters on this page well, and then set the filter to FY2020.
In the Decomposition Tree visual, notice that the root of the tree is Profit Margin at -0.94%
Select the plus icon (+), and in the context menu, select High value.
Notice that the decision tree presents resellers, ordered by highest profit margin.
To remove the level, at the top of visual, beside the Reseller label, select X.
Select the plus icon again and then expand to the Country-Region level.
Expand from the United States to the State-Province level.
Use the down-arrow located at the bottom of the visual for State-Province, and then scroll down to the less profitable states.
Notice that New York state has negative profitability.
Expand from New York to the Reseller level.
Notice that it is easy to isolate root cause.
United States is not producing profit in FY2020. New York is one state that is not achieving positive profit, and it's due to four resellers paying less than standard costs for their goods.
Save the Power BI Desktop file.
In this exercise, you will use the Key influencers AI visual to determine what influences profitability within reseller business types and geography.
In this task, you will use the Key influencers AI visual to determine what influences profitability within reseller business types and geography.
Add a new page, and then rename the page to Key Influencers.
On the Insert ribbon, from inside the AI visuals group, select Key influencers.
Tip
AI visuals are also available in the Visualizations pane.
Reposition and resize the visual so that it fills the entire page.
Add the following fields to the visual wells:
Analyze: Sales | Profit Margin
Explain by: Reseller | Business Type and Reseller | Geography (the entire hierarchy)
Expand by: Sales | Quantity
At the top left corner of the visual, notice that Key influencers is in focus, and the specific influence is set to understand what influences profit margin to increase.
Review the result, which is that the city of Bothel is likely to increase.
Modify the target to determine what influences the profit margin to decrease.
Review the result.
To detect segments, in the upper-left corner, select Top segments.
Notice that the target is now to determine segments when profit margin is likely to be high.
When the visual displays the segments (as circles), select one of them to reveal information about it.
Review the segment results.
In this task, you'll complete the lab.
Select the Scatter Chart page.
Save the Power BI Desktop file.
To publish the file to your workspace, on the Home ribbon tab, from inside the Share group, click Publish.

Thank you for your interest in my talk Specification-driven API with OpenAPI! I have now uploaded the slides to SlideShare.
Tonight I will be at the bits, bytes & bier #3 meetup in the FinTecSystems office in Linden near Gießen and give a talk called Specification-driven API Design with OpenAPI. It will be similar to last week’s talk, but since it’s a meetup targeted at developer, there will be an emphasis on the OpenAPI specification and less about documentation and the role of technical writers.
Thanks to everyone who was at my talk Specification-driven API vs. Technical Writers. If you want to refresh your memory or if you haven’t been at the talk but still interested in the topic you can now get my deck on SlideShare.
I’m at this year’s tekom conference and fair, also known as tcworld18, and I’m about to give a talk titled Specification-driven API vs. Technical Writers. If you found my website because of it, welcome! The slides will be published by tekom after the conference but I will also share them on this site soon.
I’m on a train right now on my way to London. I’ll be attending the API the Docs London 2018 conference and the first DevPortal Awards Gala, where I have the honor to announce the jury winner for the best overall developer portal on behalf of the jury members. This is also a memorable trip because it’s my first time going to London by Eurostar and also probably the last time that this journey doesn’t involve crossing the borders of the EU.
The tech industry has a massive impact on the world and our societies, both positive and negative. Social networks have brought people together but have also been detrimental to privacy. Their broad reach and algorithms have helped with the Arab Spring but also with Donald Trump and Brexit. Smartphones require materials that are often mined by child labor. Data centers draw vast amounts of energy.
A few weeks ago I listed to an episode from The New Stack podcast with Anne Curie of the cloud consulting company Container Solutions. Together with London-based diversity-focussed programming meetup Coed:Code, she organized a conference called Coed:Ethics to talk about the impact of the technology industry and what we as professionals should do.
As she told in the podcast, they wanted to produce some tangible results from the conference, and for that, the UN development goals were an inspiration because they offer a low common denominator that is entirely noncontroversial so that everybody can agree on them.
The result is a whitepaper about the state of data center energy usage in 2018, which is at roughly 2% of the entire global energy usage, and a petition to hosters and cloud providers with a simple goal: run all servers with 100% renewable energy in 2024!
I like this goal, and I’ve already signed the petition, and I recommend you do the same. There’s less than 1000 signatures so far - I think we can do much better! Also, I believe the ecological footprint is an excellent way to start a discussion about the ethics of the tech industry before we move to more controversial topics such as privacy.
A month ago I had written about Manna, the cryptocurrency that is issued as a Universal Basic Income (UBI). It was an article in the Union Square Ventures (USV) blog that caused me to sign up for their service. The list that USV compiled contained a few more intriguing projects but, to get started, I wanted to experiment with only one. A few days ago I came across another interesting article about the intersection of cryptocurrencies and UBI, which listed only two examples, Manna and Swift (which was also in the USV list). So I decided to sign up for Swift as well.
The difference between Manna and Swift is that Manna already uses the blockchain while Swift is a centralized digital currency whose blockchain is under development. As far as its website goes, Swift looks a bit more advanced at the moment, for example, it has a complete shop and an API to build transactions around the system. Another critical difference is that Manna will automatically come to your account once a week whereas Swift comes daily but you need to claim it actively and, if unclaimed, new income payments expire after seven days. That means, if you want to use and collect Swift, you should sign in to their website at least once a week. It could be a crucial feature, though, to drive actual adoption and keep the currency valuable instead of having a large number of non-active accounts (“Karteileichen”) holding the coin.
There’s also a referral program, so if you want to try it, please sign up with my link. I’m curious how this space will develop. If I find the time I will play around with the API and offer some services in their shop.
For APIs to be successful, it’s important that they are functionally correct and that they perform well. Testing is a wide field with a lot of different approaches and terminology surrounding them, and it’s also connected to other aspects of the API lifecycle such as monitoring. I have researched and explained some of the major aspects of API testing and I wrote an article about this. You can read it on the BlazeMeter blog or the syndicated copy on DZone.
Disclosure: This work was paid for by BlazeMeter.
Security is an often overlooked aspect of API design. In another guest post for my client Stoplight I have written about the different elements of API security and how the OpenAPI specification allows you to define authentication and authorization for your API explicitly, but also how a specification-driven workflow helps with security in general.
You can read my API security in OpenAPI article in the Stoplight API Corner on Medium.

As you may be aware, I’m interested in Universal Basic Income (UBI). I believe that it is a useful policy for developed countries to counteract the adverse effects of increased automation and flexibility that leads to less job security. At the same time, I also believe that cash transfers, especially if issued as basic income (what GiveDirectly does), are an effective mechanism for foreign aid.
A while ago, I came across an exciting project called MannaBase. Founded initially as GrantCoin, MannaBase marries the basic income idea with a cryptocurrency. Their concept is that everyone can sign up and receive an equal share of the currency. As it’s a cryptocurrency, people can trade Manna at online exchanges, and that’s how the new money gains value.
What I also like a lot about them is that the People’s Currency foundation that issues Manna has plans to build direct giving instruments directly into the platform so that income recipients can redirect parts of their share to people in need based on demographics.
The only downside to Manna that I see is that it’s a proof-of-work cryptocurrency, which are known to be inefficient. That is something that they, just like everyone else in the cryptocurrency space, has to solve if they want to reach mainstream adoption, but the first steps (such as proof-of-stake or lightning networks) have already been made.
As of now, the weekly distribution has a value of around a single cent, but a project like this is a long shot aimed at the future. Also, to grow the community, MannaBase has a referral program!
So, if you also find this is an inspiring idea, why not sign up for MannaBase with my referral link and collect 50% more Manna for a year?! I’d appreciate that :)
You have never created a machine-readable API specification with OpenAPI because you didn’t know how to start?! Lucky for you, I’ve written a practical tutorial that does a little hand-holding and takes you step-by-step through your first OpenAPI file. It uses Stoplight’s visual editor, so you don’t have to code it in YAML or JSON manually, but I also show you how it looks like under the hood, so you better understand how OpenAPI works.
You can find my tutorial in the Stoplight API Corner on Medium.

Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter recently announced the Data Transfer Project (DTP) as a way to improve data portability between different services. Naturally, I was intrigued to understand what precisely the DTP is. So I spend a recent ride on the train riding the whitepaper and will give you a little summary here:
DTP provides a Java-based, Docker-deployable open source application that executes bulk tasks with the following workflow:
A running instance of DTP is called a host. There are different possible models for hosts. One option (distributed) is that a provider itself runs a DTP that allows import from and export to a list of other providers of their choosing. The second option (centralized) is a third party that hosts the infrastructure to exchange data between different providers. The DTP whitepaper suggests that Data Portability NGOs could run such an instance. Finally, the third option (self-managed) means end users are running their own DTP instance.
The DTP only provides software and doesn’t specify any requirements for providers as to with who they have to interact. Every host decides which adapters it makes available and needs to apply for API access with each provider. Also, the whole design of the DTP is for one-time data transfer and does not support continuous synchronization.
My opinion: The DTP is convincing and can certainly help with data portability. Of course, it depends on providers opening up their APIs, although consumer demand and data portability requirements (as in the GDPR) could drive them. Its scope is limited, but I think its data models could be applied even outside this scope for federation and interoperability (or they could become “just another standard …”).
I came across the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Openbook. They call themselves “The honest, open-source & awesome social network”, and their plan is to build a “Facebook competitor” that is open sourced, free of advertisements, and wants to donate a portion of their revenue to charity - but apparently is not decentralized or federated.
I’m not sure what to think about it. On the one hand, I believe we need more alternatives to Facebook, except then I remember that the problem is not that other options don’t exist, but that network effects work against them. It’s already difficult for social media to grow through some hype, venture capital, and unique features. Being “Facebook, but open” is a tough value proposition to sell. I still wish them luck. Their design mocks look fine, and the team also seems solid; they have a founder of PGP on board as well as some non-technical people that could help make Openbook something that doesn’t just cater to computer geeks.
Machine-readable API specification formats like OpenAPI are not just for creating documentation but can be a driver for the whole API lifecycle. If you generate them from code you’re leaving half of what OpenAPI can do on the table, so it’s better to develop a specification-first API workflow.
I wrote about this topic as a guest post for Stoplight who offer cloud-based tools around OpenAPI and API design. You can read it in the Stoplight API Corner on Medium.

I’m back home in Germany after my two-week workation in Gran Canaria. These two weeks were a great experience but also way too short; as I had a lot of work to do I couldn’t explore as much of the city or the island as I wanted to. So, sooner or later, I have to go there again!
I saw the documentary Banking on Bitcoin last night. The main reason I watched it was that they hosted a screening at this very nice co-working/co-living place called The Roof here in Las Palmas. Regarding the movie itself, it’s obviously outdated since it’s from 2016 and a lot has happened in the cryptocurrency space since then.
What I liked about it: it does a good job demonstrating the beginnings of Bitcoin from the cypherpunk movement, the first startups in the space and their regulation issues as well as the search for the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. From that perspective, I can highly recommend it.
What I didn’t like about it: the movie contains practically no criticism. Issues like scalability are glossed over, and others like the inefficient use of energy are not mentioned at all. You end up thinking that Bitcoin is without a doubt this great technology that just has to go through growing pains.
I arrived in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria today! For the next two weeks I will be working from the lovely ReStation co-working space and enjoy my free time exploring the city and the beach.
I’ve written and published an article, in which I describe how to create API test cases in Postman and then run them both within Postman as well as its command line companion Newman and finally export the collection from Postman and import it to BlazeMeter for cloud-based functional API testing.
If you’re curious you can read the article on the BlazeMeter blog or the syndicated copy on DZone.

As promised, I wrote an article about my experience at API the Docs Paris 2018. It’s published on the CloudObjects blog. Looking forward to your feedback!
I’m on a train on my way back home from Paris, where I had three great days! I arrived on Monday and spent the afternoon exploring the city a bit, then met some of the conference attendees for dinner. On Tuesday there was the actual API the Docs conference day at the beautiful Mozilla office. There were interesting speakers and more nice and interesting people to talk to. I’ve started writing a blog post about the event and the talks which I’ll publish on the CloudObjects Blog soon. This morning before leaving I went to see STATION F, the world’s largest startup campus, located in Paris.
I’m happy to announce that not only will I be attending API the Docs in Paris on April 24th, but my talk proposal “To SDK or not to SDK?” has been accepted by the conference committee. Currently I’m working on the talk and look very much forward to giving it in Paris soon.

Justice Chander Shekhar also sought the response of Sunil Godhwani, former CMD of Religare Enterprises Limited (REL) on ED's plea to extend his custodial interrogation in the case.
The Enforcement Directorate has sought extension of police custody of Singh and Godhwani till November 28.
The court listed the matter for further hearing on Tuesday.
The trial court had on Saturday dismissed the agency's application for further custodial interrogation of Singh and Godhwai and had sent them to judicial custody till remanded them to judicial custody till December 7.

Characterization of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 enhancer-binding proteins from the human T-cell line Jurkat.
Abstract
The transcription of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is under the control of cellular proteins that bind to the viral long terminal repeat (LTR). Among the protein-binding regions of the HIV-1 LTR is the transcription-enhancer region. We show that at least one inducible, C1, and one constitutive, C2, protein can bind to the HIV enhancer in Jurkat cells. The two proteins differ in their surface charge, since they are separable by anion-exchange chromatography. Bivalent cations such as Mg2+ and Zn2+ differentially affect their binding to oligonucleotides which contain the HIV-enhancer domain. Both C1 and C2 proteins also bind to a similar sequence found in the interleukin-2-receptor alpha-subunit enhancer. The inducible C1 protein was partially purified by three chromatographic steps and characterized by u.v. cross-linking as a 47 kDa protein.
