CAN'T HARDLY WAIT
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING: ** OUT OF ****
United States, 1998 U.S. Release Date: 6/12/98 (wide) Running Length: 1:40 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Profanity, sexual situations, teen angst) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Ethan Embry, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Peter Facinelli, Charlie Korsmo, Seth Green, Lauren Ambrose, Jerry O'Connell, Melissa Joan Hart, Jenna Elfman Directors: Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont Producers: Jenno Topping, Betty Thomas Screenplay: Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont Cinematography: Lloyd Ahern II Music: David Kitay and Matthew Sweet U.S. Distributor: Columbia Pictures
With CAN'T HARDLY WAIT, I suppose first time directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (whose previous credits include writing the script for A VERY BRADY SEQUEL) were trying to recapture the mood of a John Hughes '80s teen comedy. Unfortunately, while perhaps aiming for the level of THE BREAKFAST CLUB and FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, they have come a lot closer to the likes of REVENGE OF THE NERDS. CAN'T HARDLY WAIT is a painfully predictable account of that ultimate teenage bacchanalia -- the post-graduation party. Yet, instead of bringing intriguing characters with real problems and interesting dialogue to the bash, Kaplan and Elfont take the lazy approach of pulling generic stereotypes off the shelf and throwing them into a formulaic plot that doesn't offer one genuine surprise or meaningful moment.
CAN'T HARDLY WAIT is awash in pointless subplots. Depending on how one counts them, there are at least six or seven. Some are given more screen time than others, but none has enough to flesh out the characters beyond two-dimensionality or to get us interested in their lives. The difference between a good movie with an ensemble cast and a bad one is how easily the protagonists and their individual pieces of the overall plot engage the viewer. Instead of taking a few risks to win us over, CAN'T HARDLY WAIT traverses the tediously safe route by stringing together a series of would-be "cute" scenes, slapstick humor (drunks are always supposed to be funny, right?), and trite "bonding" moments.
Everything in CAN'T HARDLY WAIT transpires during the course of one all-night party. School's out, the summer is just beginning, and the graduating seniors of Huntington Hills High School are ready to do the two things that rootless teens do best: get drunk and get laid. The main story, inasmuch as there can be considered a main story in a film this overcrowded, focuses on Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry), an articulate, lovestruck young man who has spent the past four years pining for the unattainable Amanda Beckett (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Now, in a shocking development, Amanda has been dumped by long-time boyfriend Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli), leaving the door wide open for Preston, if he can get up the courage to speak to her. Meanwhile, the class valedictorian, William Lichter (Charlie Korsmo), is hatching a plot to avenge himself upon Mike for years of cruel practical jokes. Preston's friend, Denise (Lauren Ambrose), is trying to find some way to fit into a party that is obviously not her scene. An off-the wall weirdo named Kenny (Seth Green), who uses ebonics despite being white, is trying to lose his virginity. And a former graduate (Jerry O'Connell) has returned to bemoan his lack of success with college women.
What CAN'T HARDLY WAIT offers are flat characters stuck in underdeveloped situations. The only semi-interesting individual, Denise, is trapped in a bathroom with Kenny for most of the night. Of the film's dozen-or-so primary players, she's the only one who seems more like a real person than a caricature. As ably portrayed by Lauren Ambrose (who previously appeared as one of Kevin Kline's students in IN & OUT), Denise is capable of engaging our sympathies. Everyone else seems to exist for only one purpose -- to be at this party. It's virtually impossible to imagine anyone having any kind of life outside of these circumstances -- such shallow characters are obviously tailored to the needs of the script.
For those who enjoy saccharine romances, the interaction between Preston and Amanda offers some limited possibilities. You'd have to be hopelessly na´ve not to realize how it's all going to turn out, but the two actors, Ethan Embry (THAT THING YOU DO!) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER), are so likable that it's hard not to have at least a minor rooting interest in their pairing. Seeing the inevitable resolution is one of the few reasons to stay for the duration of CAN'T HARDLY WAIT's one-hundred minute running length.
Just like the teen movies of the '80s, CAN'T HARDLY WAIT is targeting the 13-to-18 year-old group by offering popular actors like Embry and Love Hewitt, wall-to-wall pop music (often, the film seems like nothing more than an excuse to sell a soundtrack), and ample portions of booze and sex (although the PG-13 rating limits the latter). It's all marketing -- collect enough appealing snippets for a 30-second TV commercial, and maybe the kids will come. With effectively-developed characters, decent dialogue, and something resembling a compelling plot, this approach can lead to a satisfying movie-going experience. Sadly, those characteristics are taking a vacation in CAN'T HARDLY WAIT. Whatever shallow charm the film offers wears off fast as we realize that it's not funny, endearing, dramatically sound, or going anywhere that we haven't been before. As a result, the title seems unexpectedly appropriate, as it accurately summed up my feelings about sitting in the theater and anticipating the arrival of the end credits -- I couldn't hardly wait.

Reston, Virginia
Reston Virginia has a lot of jobs and close to capital of America, D.C.
Everyone is extremely busy and works diligently. It's too expensive to live close to D.C.
I think New York City and D.C area might be on the same pace of life.
- 30 March 2019
Chennai, India
It's been a long time since I was in Chennai, India. I remember my undergrad days.

Denver, Colorado
I visited Denver with a close friend. I thought about Nikola Tesla's Lab. He spent some time in Colorado.
It was cold in Colorado during December. The Weather was about 10 - 20 degrees. I stayed downtown.
Most American downtowns are similar. Colorado had some interesting museums to visit.
- 20 May 2018
Washington D.C
To non-Americans: D.C, Virginia, and Maryland are close to each other. People use D.C to refer this area.
I stayed at Annandale, V.A. Annandale is a charming Korean-suburb.
Varity of places to check-out, museums to visit.
From what I hear; housing is expensive in D.C. Weatherwise,
It is similar to North-East. It's not as brutal as New Hampshire or Maine.
If you grew up in Small-town or medium-sized
town, you'll notice more number of cars or traffic.
- 17 May 2017
Pennsylvania
Hooray! I cannot believe this. I returned to the same place again in a year.
I re-visited Pennsylvania. This time, I drove by myself from Columbus, Ohio.
It was few hours drive from Ohio. I enjoyed driving through small-towns.
I loved serving students and leading them through different activities.
I've been traveling solo everywhere in the U.S.
- 15 May 2018
Columbus, Ohio.
I'm on a whirlwind of traveling spree. To be honest; I should be grateful and thank God.
I didn't see it coming in my life. I drove for two days from Florida to Columbus, Ohio.
My impression on driving to Ohio are as follows:
a) West Virginia had lot of mountains and change of scenary
b) Carolina was flat
And yes, I drove alone up to Ohio. Columbus, Ohio reminds a little bit of entering NYC.
German Village in Columbus, Ohio brought me joys of Architecture.
I appreciate the vintage architecture.
- 12 Mar 2018
Blacksburg, Virginia.
Phew! A trip to Virginia. My first impression of Virginia -- Blacksburg had more trees than Orlando, Florida.
It is subjective from your frame of reference.Most of the houses look similar to North-East.
It doesn't get as cold as North-East.
- 12 Mar 2018
Omaha, Nebraska.
What a surprise? I got a chance to visit Omaha, Nebraska. My friend showed me Warren Buffet's house.
There were many cameras on the street. I perceived Nebraska and Iowa to be similar in terms of weather.
For people outside the U.S, people are friendly in Nebraska and Iowa. I compare this to North-Eastern part of United States.
- 10 Mar 2018
Ames, Iowa.
My plans to visit the beautiful state of Iowa came by random chance. I decided to take it.
I was in Des Moines and Ames, Iowa. Plenty of corn-fields. Guess what? Iowa's economy
is only 10% Agriculture. The Weather was similar to North-Eastern part of the United States.
I liked the Mid-West due to smaller cities and not many people move to Mid-West. The Demographics are
majority Anglo-Saxons.
- 1 Dec 2017
Orlando, Florida has given me better weather compared to North-East. Bright-Sunny days in Orlando, Florida.
My friends and I went for a walk in airport-lakes part. Guess what? I did see an alligator.
Some of the things impressed on my memory were plenty of ponds, lakes. Palm trees and the city is spread
out-wide. There are more people from Central and South America in Orlando, Florida. America has
always been the land of immigrants. Kudos to you America.
- 11 Sep 2017
I was in Madison, Wisconsin. Plenty of farm land, corn, and sunflowers.
I delighted seeing corn and sunflower farms. My friend and I took his dog for a walk.
My favorite memory in Madison, Wisconsin is this trail. Glad that I visited during September.
Winters are brutal; Unless you breath snow.
- 24 May 2017
I visited Pennsylvania, for a Leadership Retreat. It stretched me out physically
and emotionally. I was given a group of 7 students from different countries. I lead and coached them. I took the role
of a Listening. I appreciated their ideas. It was all about them. As a Leader, I am there to serve them. I let my group explore and grow. Something that stuck on my heart, was letting other people's
idea and respecting it.
We were located in middle of woods with more than a thousand acres. It is perfect for building a school.
It's away from busy cities. The Weather was around 70's, but it dropped to 50's.
Pennsylavania didn't seem different in terms of weather from New England. I surmised, that
it could get less colder than New England.
- 15 May 2017
I'm planning to visit Pennsylvania, excited to go. Not sure, what to expect.
The Weather has been gloomy lately in North-East. As I mentioned earlier, if you grew up in Tropical
weather, make sure you pay attention to weather.
- 25 April 2017
I visited North Carolina -- Ashville, Charlotte. Ashville is an hour drive from Charlotte, NC.
Even though, it's April, I couldn't make sense of the weird weather. Quick note to someone, who is from tropics or a place, where
there is no change in weather. This might seem trivial, but weather is important and part of North American life. We had sunlight for a while,
and then quickly lots of rain and gloomy weather.
It seemed that Billy Graham's Library is popular destination in North Carolina, I might be wrong. I noticed outside of the Airport, lot of advertisement to visit his Library.
Also, the airport was expanding with constructions and things seem to be out of place. I traveled for almost 15 hours from Providence to North Carolina.
Travelling is exhausting, if you do not get enough sleep and sunshine.
- 21 March 2017
I visited Westerly, Rhode Island. It's on the border of Conneticut.
Most of the architectures resembles colonial –– New England style. The place, where I stayed
had three floors (American's count ground floor as first floor). Meanwhile, other countries might not do it in the same way.
A small interesting point to observe. A Big issue in New England is heating, it's
a big deal, and if a house doesn't have a good heating; It means you better prepare for hypothermia. And now you know, why
early settlers freezed and starved to death.
- 25 Feb 2017
I'm in New Hampshire, It's been three years and it's refreshing to re-visit. Skiing is exciting, And a lot of people in New England
visit NH for skii resorts. As we were driving, we could not see the roads. Fog was above the roads, and it was difficult to drive at Night.
GPS helped us to reach our destination. I loved skiing but it took a lot of energy of me.
If you love Snow, then come visit New Hampshire. The State's motto is, "Live free or die."
- 21 Feb 2017
Florida was wonderful trip. As you know, lots of sunshine and warmer people. This scence was my highlight of the trip,
I took a plane from Orlando, Florida where it was around 80 degrees. And, then I landed in Providence, Rhode Island -- It was
20 degrees covered in Snow. A Day with bright sunlight and snow. Can you imagine it?
A Group picture with people that I met in Florida.
- 7 Feb 2017
I'm travelling to Florida soon -- And, most New Englanders love going to Florida. The Weather becomes gloomy, cold in New England,
that a lot of people feel frustrated with it. Less Sunlight makes people's mood change, and I understand why people want to retire in Florida.
The Last time, I was in Florida -- I quickly admired the Spanish Influence, architecture of buildings. America is truly a melting pot of cultures, However it takes
a generation or two for immigrants to get assimilated. There must be millions of sub-cultures within the United States. If you have never been to the United States, it is
going to be hard for you to understand. If you are moving to America, you are not only bringing yourself, but your habits, thought, tradition, religion into this vast country.
Try to reflect the differences, and learn from each other. One thing, that helps you to learn about culture is their history.
12 Jan 2017
Travelling expands your horizons -- However, living in another country or place is different from travelling. I have travelled to a wide variety of places.
From Asia, Middle East to North America. I'll post my thoughts, history and facts about these places. If you have any questions or feedback, please do email me.
Somethings you should notice about your ownself, the place you grew up is going to form the base perspective on things. You visit another place, it adds up, therefore your base perspective would always be with you.
If you grew up in Europe, you'll have your frame of reference to your European context. When you move to another country -- it has to realign to the new culture or country. This helps you to understand your own
cultural roots in a deeper way, because you can reflect the differences. It's good to ask questions, and learn from new culture. I think, there's a lot more on communication among cultures.
-
| INDIA | US | MIDDLE EAST | JAPAN | FIJI
Most of my early travels are in parts of Tamil Nadu. People speak Tamil and English in Tamil Nadu
The State, where I grew up. I've found that one culture can learn from another rather than looking down on them.
Most of the time, people misunderstand cultures -- Seriously, most people have assumptions about other cultures.
Do not assume, rather ask questions and explore the differences. Indeed, there's a lot of history,
that we all need to learn from each others cultures.
- 16 Jan 2017
Tamil Nadu, India
Most parts of Tamil Nadu's buildings have Dravidian influenced Architecture. Tamil Nadu has some Victorian Era buildings.
If you are from a colder place, the first thing you'll notice is that Tamil Nadu does not really has winters.
Winter, snow and below 40 degrees temperature, none of that in Tamil Nadu. In Celcius, it's below zero.
Some great facts about Tamil culture –– Sangam period serves as foundation of Tamil family, values, literature.
They have worthy moral precepts, stories. However, these works are not popular in the West
Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India.
Kodaikanal is known as princess of hill station.
Hill station, is where we have a village near the top of a hill.
The Weather is around 70 degrees to 60 degrees.
My journey to Kodaikanal started, when I was in kindergarden. My parents took me to Kodaikanal,
I remember riding horses near the Lake. A peculiar memory is Guna's cave -- there's been tragic accidents in that place.
A group of 10 college kids went missing. It's a deep underground cave with no clear acess.
Now, they have shielded it with caves for public safety.
Short History: Kodaikanal slowly formed as a retreat place for Missionaries, Tamil and British elites in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu has semi-arid weather, April - June is the hottest time of year. It goes up to 110 degrees,
(43 Celcius).
Initially only 20 people settle around late 1800's, but now there's a lot of people in Tamil Nadu relocating to Kodaikanal.
Of course, it's not as big as Florida for retirees.
As you can surmise, having been to Kodaikanal numerous times; It is one of my favorite places on the planet.
If you plan to visit Tamil Nadu, I recommend staying in Kodaikanal for a week.
Enjoy the perfect weather, scenery and forest.
Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India.
Tirunelveli has semi-arid weather.
I grew up in this town.
Semi-arid is hot with 10-20 days of rainfall a year
It's a small town with about 500,000 people living in the district.
Nellaiappar Temple is the iconic symbol of Tirunelveli.
Another classic example of Dravidian architecture.
My first memory of Tirunelveli is near to Sarah Tucker College, Perumalpuram.
Founded in late 1800's for Woman's education -- It has served the community of Women in Tirunelveli district.
There's a popular destination called, Coutrallam.
It has waterfalls, where people often go for a short retreat.
I've been to coutrallam so many times, And I fall in love with majestic water-fall.
Education:
Tirunelveli has excellent middle and high schools. They call it the Oxford of South India.
Most of the credit goes to early Christian missionaries who founded these schools.
Other than that, there's not a complete history of Tirunelveli.
If you find something let me know.
Coimbatore
Coimbatore has 70 degrees weather, and rains often.
However, the city has numerous migrants from other parts of India.
You might bump into someone who speaks Hindi
Coimbatore also has great number of schools, and institutions.
Closer to Coimbatore -- there's Ooty, which is smaller than Kodaikanal.
I've visited the city three times. My memory of coimbatore is the Railway station.
It is peculiar, has an underground walk-way.
Chennai Madras
Chennai is probably bigger than NYC in terms of population, and is capital of Tamil Nadu.
It's hot, humid and has busy traffic.
I would say NYC's traffic is nothing compared to Chennai.
During my stay in Chennai –– I observed how quickly Chennai was growing economically.
It's interesting to visit a crowded city if you are young, And Chennai has lot of things to do.
If you are into History, I'd recommend checking out all the English East India company's history in Chennai.
A lot of people in Chennai are proud of their city. It was formerly called as Madras.
The first time, I visited Chennai was in 2008 during high school vacation.
My first memory of Chennai is guindy railway station, pallavaram station.
After that, I moved to Chennai for four years.
Madurai (Last vist: 2015)
Madurai is 150 kms from Tirunelveli.
The City of Madurai's icon is Meenakshi Amman Temple,
if you have not seen it.
I'd say Dravidian Architecture is unique and has stone-cut temples.
My peculiar memory of Madurai is crossing the Mattuthavani bus stand.
Madurai is considered to be part of Southern Tamil Nadu, there's a divide in accent/slang between
Northern Tamil Nadu and Southern Tamil Nadu.
Trivanduram, Kerala. (2003, 2004, 2007)
Trivanduram, I visited it from my early schooling days.
It's similar to other Tamil Nadu towns, cities.
The Weather is not as hot as Tirunelveli. It's around 80 degrees.
People speak Malayalam in Kerala.
If you have not noticed, people in India speak different language, depending on the state.
Kottayam, Kerala (2010, 2011)
Kottayam is greener and I enjoyed my time visiting on a train.
People speak Malayalam.
New Delhi, May 2013.
I was excited to be in New Delhi.
As soon as I got from a train, I saw people from all over India.
India has millions of communities with over 20 different languages.
Majority are from northern parts of India are in Delhi
Remember, India is diverse as Europe.
This makes India special. India was doomed to fail after the British had left.
India is staying togther as a Nation. I noticed
clean/good areas of New Delhi were near consulates.
I must admit there were poorer parts in New Delhi.
A lot of the signs in New Delhi were in Urdu.
I think, it goes back to the Mughal Empire.
I visited few bazaars in New Delhi.
Infact, I was traveling alone. I couldn't get much feedback from locals.
I wish -- I had stayed there for a while to learn about the people.
Gurgaon, Haryana. June 2013.
From New Delhi, there's trains to Gurgaon. I noticed that Northern India had rickshaws,
and they called their three-wheeled transport vehicle as fat fatia. Probably in Southern India,
I have not seen them, and people in Tamil Nadu called them as Autos.
Tajmahal, Agra.
What can I say about the Taj Mahal? Majestic architecture, grandeur, opulent, symbol of Mughal Empire.Taj Mahal is a must-visit in India
Infact, if you love history or architecture -- Then you'll fall in love with it.
Middle East
Saudi Arabia, June 2010
Middle East is extremely hot.
People's clothing style suits the weather.
I couldn't talk to the locals.
It gets as hot as 122 degrees.
I loved the Desert
Fiji June, 2016
Fiji is a great place to visit. You would love the weather in summer.
People are friendly. Fun fact, there are Indians in Fiji, who have assimilated to Fijian culture.
Fijians would belong to Islander culture.
Thailand
Bangkok Pattaya
July 2012
My visit to thailand was not planned. Thai people are known for
friendliness and hospitality. Many tourists visit Thailand.
My first impression of Bangkok -- it's bigger than I had imagined.
Bangkok had dozens of Buddhist temples. I don't think thailand has winters.
There's plenty of things to do in Thailand as a tourist from scuba diving, buddhist temples.
North America
I've visited most of the states in U.S. One important factor to consider, if you prefer weather to be a huge factor;
the colder states won't attract you. Unless, you are from Russia or Iceland.
Illinois
Rockford, Illinois
The first thing you'll notice is Chicago's airport is big. The Parking lots go on forever
Illinois had bad roads. Winters are brutal in Illinois.
Wisconsin
Madison, Wisconsin
Wisconsin had good roads and infrastructure.
Rhode Island
University of Rhode Island
Blizzards are common in North-East. Rhode Island is near to Boston.
New York City
Most diverse city on Planet.
There's plenty of things to do in NYC. People are from every country on the planet.
NYC never sleeps. I was awake and could see lights.
You can find all ethnic food. From from any country on the planet
I visited Randall's Park in NYC. I attended a friend's wedding in Central Park.
Florida
Orlando, Daytona
Florida –– to a northerner (U.S), the buildings look different.
The Vegetation, plants, weather is tropical.
Sunny weather, and lot of South American food.
West Virginia
Princeton, West Viriginia
West Virginia is considered rural place, but I might say -- we can't have it all in a state.
Either you have too many people, or less. West Virginia has winters, but they're not as a cold as North-East of America.
The Airport (Charleston) is small, the city is considerbly small and peaceful. If you like small places, with less people,
you might enjoy it unless, you can't stand rural places.
California
I've visited San Fransico. I must admit, perfect weather. Pretty much everyone knows
about California.
Texas
"Everything is bigger in Texas"
Texas has similar weather to Southern India. A lot of immigrants,
the first thing, I noticed in Texas was the airport had Bush's name. Other than that,
there's a lot of mexican cultural influence in Texas. Texas is huge, it takes a couple of days to drive around the state.
They say, they have ranches as big as Rhode Island.
When I was in Houston, Texas. I loved how it had lot of authentic mexican restaurant. I entered one Mexican restaurant, and I was the only
person who wasn't from Mexico. If you are fan of rice, or any asian food; You'll probably like it.
Oregon
Portland, Oregon is similar to North-East. However, Oregon's coastline is distinct and beautiful.
I visited Newport, Oregon and found coastline to be picturesque.
Massachussets
Massachussets is the intellectual hub of America. It has most of the World's top universites with four seasons.
If you come from Southern hemisphere of the Globe, then Mass will expose you to cold weather and make you tough. You are in for a weather shock,
If you are below the equator. Make sure, you understand the weather, culture of New Englanders.
New Hampshire
I visited a Ski-resort in New Hampshire. First thing on comparing New Hampshire with Rhode Island: It has a lot of trees.
There's no sales taxes in New Hampshire. This is from 2015.
Connecticut
Connecticut is cold. Winters are brutal. It takes only 40 minutes from Rhode Island to reach Connecticut.
You can think Connecticut similar to Massachussets. I loved, fall weather in Connecticut. My first memory of Connecticut is from Middle School. This is in Tamil Nadu.
I remember opening Atlas Encyclopedia, learning every state of America.

Navy employee gets 40 years in prison for child pornography
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - A man who was employed by the U.S. Navy when he coerced children into sending him sexually explicit videos and photos has been sentenced in Maryland to 40 years in federal prison.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul Grimm also on Thursday sentenced 36-year-old Spencer Steckman to lifetime supervised release following his prison term.
The Justice Department said in a news release that Steckman enticed at least 10 preteen and teenage boys into sending him recordings of their sexually explicit conduct.
The former resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, pleaded guilty in June to one count of production of child pornography, one count of transportation of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
Steckman has remained detained since Navy investigators arrested him in Japan in March 2018.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents and families with issues of depression, anxiety, and learning disorders.
I have started my clinical career from working with a wide array of psychological issues including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, self-esteem, anger management, parent/adolescent communication, self-injury, teen/adolescent issues, stress management as well as relationship and marital issues.
Between 1995 and 2001 I was working in Los Angeles as an independent psychological expert for dozens of companies and small companies of the area. It gave me a possibility to qualify in business and management psychology while helping department managers to solve behavioral conflicts between their employees.
Advanced training in psychological assessment and psychotherapy
Extensive work experience in university counseling centers, community mental health centers and private practice settings.
Specific advanced training for Borderline Personality Disorder (from Behavioral Tech) including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
In 2001 I continued my research started a year before on the topic “Overcoming Depression”, which allowed me to develop an innovative method of depression treatment. I’ve been using this method ever since in my practice.
In December 2005, I became well trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy) which I use now to enable clients to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress of disturbing life events, including symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Flowcharts is a diagram type that visualizes a process or an algorithm by showing the steps in order, as well as the different paths the execution can take.
Sequence diagrams lets you model and visualize interactions between different actors or objects in a system, as well as the order of those interactions
A class diagram is a graphical representation that is used to visualize and describe an object-oriented system.
An entity-relationship diagram is a graphical representation that is used to visualize the different types of entities that exist within a system.
Use State diagrams to model and document state machines, an abstract way of representing a system or an algorithm.
A Gantt chart is a graphical representation that is used to visualize and describe tasks (events or activities) over time.
These were a few of the diagrams supported by Mermaid.
Mermaid lets you represent diagrams using text and code which simplifies the maintenance of complex diagrams. This is a great option for developers as they’re more familiar with code, rather than special tools for generating diagrams. Besides, diagrams in code simplify maintenance and ensure that the code is supported by version control systems. In some cases, Mermaid makes refactoring support for name changes possible while also enabling team collaboration for review distribution and updates.
Developers working with any system will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to using Mermaid for documentation. The book is also a great reference for looking up the syntax for specific diagrams when authoring diagrams.
You’ll start by getting up to speed with the importance of accurate and visual documentation. Next, the book introduces Mermaid and establishes how to use it to create effective documentation. By using different tools, editors, or a custom documentation platform, you’ll also learn how to use Mermaid syntax for various diagrams. Later chapters cover advanced configuration settings and theme options to manipulate your diagram as per your needs.
By the end of this Mermaid book, you’ll have become well-versed with the different types of Mermaid diagrams and how they can be used in your workflows.
Written by Knut Sveidqvist and Ashish Jain.
Knut is the creator of Mermaid and both authors are active core team members of the Mermaid open-source project.

The critically acclaimed Web series "Broad City" moves to Comedy Central as a half-hour scripted series. It stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer as 20-something best friends who are trying to navigate life in New York, despite that their adventures always seem to lead down unexpected and bizarre paths.
The goal of this project was to learn rapid prototyping. We've been given one week to go through entire process from research to high fidelity mockups.
Design an application that will provide users an ability to see the list of episodes for a TV show, search through them and watch a selected episode. Make sure it has a minimalistic and intuitive design, provides an easy navigation and doesn't require authentication.
As an end user I want to be able to select a season from available seasons and see the list of available episodes. Then I want to be able to select an episode and start watching it.


Please read carefully and you'll be able to run a demo site shortly.

into an empty input field.Home Pages is a custom post type. It has a really cool tool that helps you build awesome home page in just a couple of minutes.
In order to make your own home page from Dashboard select Home Pages > Add New. Enter the title of your home page (it won't be visible) and start composing...
It should be as easy as adding rows and columns. Section represents the row while the section layout refers to a number of columns per that very row.
It's good to know that Sections are both repeatable and sortable! The same goes for shortcode boxes: create as many as needed then drag'n'drop to sort at will.
Whenever section layout is selected, use the plus mark to insert shortcode into the box.
 The only thing you need is a bit of practice!
The process of turning custom home page into your website front page conforms WordPress standards! As usually:
go to Dashboard, select Settings > Reading.
Under Reading settings, Front page displays, tick "A static page (select below)" option then from the "Front page" drop-down select your new home page by the title.
Don't forget to Save Changes.
Keep the content tidy, well organized and visually attractive to your website visitors!
There are two, very simple rules to remember when working with Shortcodes:
It has to be pointed out that some Shortcodes require double action. Tabed Content, Accordion and Slider are special type of Shortcodes whose content is added in two steps.
STEP 1 - adds wrapper. Only one wrapper is needed per Shortcode instance!
STEP 2 - adds single item. This action can be repeated as many times as needed, within a single wrapper.
In order to be able to better understand how Columns shortcodes are working, be sure to read about Bootstrap grid system. These shortcodes are in direct relation to it!
Reusable content? Why not. It'll be stored in shortcode.
The purpose of Content Chunks should be pretty straightforward: create a piece of content that can easily be included in Page, Post, Custom Post Type or Widget via shortcode.
Each and every content chunk obtains unique id which is a part of its shortcode. Whenever you need to "pull" specific content chunk into a Page or Post simply copy-paste entire shortcode.
Of course, it can even be simpler! All of your Content Chunks are getable thru theme's standard Shortcodes library so you don't even need to copy-paste.
Create as many as needed with an unlimited number of photos. Insert via shortcode.
If you don't like those complex image sliders with zillions of options that make you pull your hair off, this is something you gonna like. Create/publish a Slider quickly by using good, old WordPress interface with no tricky or hidden options.
The best of all: once published your new Slider immediately becomes available thru the theme Shortcodes library. Otherwise, it can be inserted anywhere to Post, Page, Custom Post Type or Widget via shortcode.
Each Slider can be different because each one uses its own settings! Each slide can have a different caption or become a link to remote/inner page!
Announce and list different school occasions without any plugin.
Events is a custom post type used to announce (upcoming) occasion. With an each event you'll be able to set start/end date and start/end hour according to which events get presented on front-end. Events are published as any other regular Post in WordPress, however they will never be listed by date of publish.
Expired events will not be listed, however, events archive will keep the record of all past events.
Manage searchable school courses library easy way.
This theme is equipped with another powerful feature that seems to be inevitable for every school: Courses.
Categorize them, create as many as needed with as many features as needed (per course!), attach unlimited number of downloads/documents (per course)...
The most important fact is that all of the course features are automatically turned into the search keywords! It means that any course can be searched by title, ID, instructor, credits or any other course feature provided.
Unlimited number of features per course
School galleries at one place rather than spread across different posts.
There's no easier method to manage school galleries. Create and publish as you would do with any other WordPress post. What makes things even better is a bulk uploader; just drag'n'drop photos from a system folder into your gallery post!
Don't "attach" galleries to Posts or school Events - unless you really need to. It'll be harder for people to find photos of their interest.
Rather create a separate gallery and then provide a link to it.
This theme feature allows you to classify or categorize galleries and thus enable a better browsing experience.
Bulk upload photos to gallery, just drag'n'drop from desktop or any other system folder.
These are used to give a particular page different look and purpose.
Buntington theme uses 3 custom templates: Contact, Full width page and Posts Page. Their names in regards of purpose are pretty much self-explanatory.
The only difference is what gets added automatically to a certain custom templated Page when viewed...
Contact page will get a Google Map in page header and a mini contact form. See Appearance > Buntington Options >> Contact in order to setup both GoogleMap and personal contact info. If you enter some text when this Custom Template is assigned, it will be shown above the contact form.
Full width page remains empty, no extras are added. That Custom Template will remove the sidebar so use it whenever sidebar is not needed.
Posts Page is used to render blog posts in standard form while on category page they get rendered in grid.
Just for case you are new to Custom Templates...the thing is pretty straightforward. You can assign a custom template to any individual Page by using the Template dropdown in the New/Edit Page screen, Page Attributes panel (right hand sidebar). Here's the shot which should make it as clear as possible
So, whenever you need one of these Custom Templates you are going to:
Important information that might save time and keep you calmed down.
First of all you gonna need gettext catalogs (.po files) editor. My favorite is POedit because it's free and cross-platform friendly. For the purpose of translation you can use any other gettext editor.
Open a file named "en_EN.po" which can be found in "Buntington/languages" folder. Translate then save/export two files; "YOUR_LOCALE.po" and "YOUR_LOCALE.mo".
Be sure to keep your language files in "Buntington/languages" folder!
What exactly stands YOUR_LOCALE for?
Well it's more like a tag that helps WordPress identify language being used with it. For example, if you need to localize your theme copy to Dutch, you'll save translated files as "nl_NL.po" and "nl_NL.mo". If you need to translate to French it's gonna be "fr_FR.po" and "fr_FR.mo".
Check out WordPress Codex for complete list of locales.
Layout builder from Home Pages can be used with "regular" Page as well. However, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT A PROPER CUSTOM TEMPLATE! If "Page Builder" template not selected, your "regular" Page remains as is. Once you select "Page Builder" template, the content from text editor will be ignored and your custom layout/content will be show.
If you wonder how the tagline was added below each Main Menu item check out the figure below. It should be pretty straightforward; just use Title Attribute input field which is available in menu item panel.
Buntington theme is equipped with an ample library of different styles that can be applied directly on portion of text or elements in text editor (tiniMCE).
So, for example, if you want to turn a regular title (H1 thru H6) into a Title Median, place the cursor within existing title element then from Formats drop-down select Title Median.
Additionally, if you need to remove title's bottom margin leave cursor within the title element then from Styles drop-down select Remove element margin bottom.
For both of these two authorization is required. No worries, hard job is already done. The only thing you'll need to assure are some strange "keys" and "tokens" which, by the way, are available from your Twitter and Flickr accounts.
More details can be found HERE and HERE (for Flickr and Twitter respectively).
So, once you got it refer to Theme Options > API Keys and populate correspondingly.
Theme's backend relies on Vafpress framework whose documentation should help you get started. Of course, PHP knowledge is a must! By studying existing code that is made according to Vafpress standards you'll be able to get your own.
All the relevant files reside in "Buntington/admin" folder.
Open "Buntington/public/img" folder and replace "site-logo.png" with your own logo file. Remember, your own logo must be a namesake which means it should be named site-logo and keep PNG file type.
You will have to delete all the previously imported content (including Menus, photos, etc.) and try again. Keep on mind that WP Importer plugin is not perfect and the same goes to WP Export tool.
In case you'd rather like to import entire database feel free to contact me via PM and I'll mail it to you.

| js/theme.js | This file is supposed to initalize most of the plugins and contains small chunks of code needed by the template itself. |
Once again, thank you so much for purchasing Buntington theme. I'd be glad to help you if you have any further questions relating to this item. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. You might also consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.


MOMMIE DEAREST A film review by Mike Watson Copyright 1997 Mike Watson
STARRING: Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid, Mara Hobel DIRECTOR: Frank Perry SCREENPLAY: Frank Yablans, Frank Perry, Tracey Hotchner, Robert Getchell RUNTIME: 129 minutes RATING: 2 out of 5
"Tina!!! Fetch me the axe!!!" A favourite book of mine called THE GOLDEN TURKEY AWARDS relates the story that when MOMMIE DEAREST was unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences back in 1981, Paramount soon realised they had a problem on their hands. It wasn't just the film's disappointing box office performance. Indeed, in the coming years some people would be going back to see it two, three, even six times. No, the main problem was that what was intended as a serious biopic of screen queen Joan Crawford was turning into the laugh riot of the year.
In a desperate attempt to capitalise on this unexpected turn of events, some publicity hacks dreamed up outrageous print advertisements screaming: "Mommie Dearest: The Biggest Mommie Of Them All!". Executives at Paramount were appalled and soon had the ads withdrawn, but it was all too late. MOMMIE DEAREST was already cementing its place in camp cinema history.
Unfortunately, Faye Dunaway's energetic, at times ridiculously over-the-top performance is about the film's only redeeming feature. Based on daughter Christina Crawford's trashy biography, MOMMIE DEAREST chronicles a series of mainly private events in the life of her moviestar mother. If you believe this movie, it was a life was racked by obsession, lonliness, child abuse and rampant egomania.
The film begins with Crawford adopting two children, and concludes in the office of her lawyer where her now grown-up daughter and son find out they have been left out of their mother's will. Joan always wanted her kids to be able to fend for themselves, you see. But that's about the only thread in the narrative that manages to survive to the film's end. The script - laboured over by four writers, a bad sign in itself - is a poorly connected series of episodes that builds little dramatic momentum. Frank Perry's direction is no more than competent, and Dunaway's bitchy lines aside, the dialogue is flat and uninvolving.
In fairness, the film's second half ditches some of the cartoon hysterics and does develop a degree empathy for its characters. When the adult Christina moves out of home into her own modest dwelling, Joan visits and keeps in touch, not helping her financially but encouraging Christina's own acting and career ambitions. Crawford does seem to care about her daughter, but you can sense the emotional distance and feel some of their pain. You also get glimpses of what the film could have been in the hands of better writers.
Ah, but there IS Dunaway's performance.  Having just been sacked by her studio after a run of box office duds, Crawford storms home late at night and proceeds to go ballistic in the garden. She has the maid drag the kids out of bed to come down and clean up the mess she's making. Spotting a young tree she doesn't like the look of, she turns to the trembling Christina and utters the immortal line "Tina!! Fetch me the axe!!" with which she proceeds to enthusiastically dismember the poor sapling.
In the film's most outrageous scene, Joan realises that some of her daughter's clothes are hanging on wire coat hangers. Oh dear! Sounds like the perfect excuse for another temper tantrum, doesn't it? This time she gives her daughter a horrible beating while delivering another classic outburst: "No...wire...hangers....EVER!!!!".  Oh joy!
Something of a camp classic, then, but if that's not you're cup of tea then MOMMIE DEAREST doesn't have too much to recommend it. Better you see the real Crawford in THE WOMEN (1939), MILDRED PIERCE (1945) or WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE (1962). Great films distinguished by great performances, and a far more eloquent testament to this great woman than Frank Perry's shrieking piece of tabloid froth.

The opacity value to use when mixing the original and resultant colors.
When the value is 0, the original color is used without modification. When the value is 1, the result color is used. When in the range (0, 1) the color is interpolated between the original and result by this amount.

task_receive(@optional timeout, default)
Advance the mailbox cursor of the current task to the next message, remove that message from the mailbox, rewind the mailbox cursor, and return the message.
When timeout
is not specified, the current task will wait until a message is available in the
mailbox. When timeout
is specified and default
is not specified,
a mailbox-receive-timeout-exception
object is raised if the timeout is reached before a
message is available. When timeout
is specified and default
is specified,
the value of default
is returned if the timeout is reached before a message is available.
Timeout
can be an exact integer to indicate seconds or a fractional number to indicate sub-second precision.
The !<
operator has the same semantics as task_receive
without timeout
and
default
specified.

RYAN: Okay. Awesome. Welcome back. I’m excited to introduce to you now to Jessica Morrison. Jessica is a project manager at Chemical & Engineering News, an organization based in DC where they cover news and research in chemistry and chemical engineering. Jessica was a reporter before she moved into this project-management role, and this is a role she’s really helping her organization carve out for the first time. But before that, she earned her PhD in geochemistry. She started college in journalism but apparently the geology field trips were super cool, so she ended up with a PhD. We’re super happy to have her back to speak on journalism in a museum of chemistry of course. And she’s going to talk to us this morning about being change to a legacy newsroom. Thank you, Jessica.
JESSICA: Thank you. Good morning. Can you hear me? Is this all good? So I want you to take a second to think about how your newsroom is organized.   This is what our business used to look like. You probably recognize a chart like this. It’s hierarchical, it’s siloed, there’s an editor-in-chief at the top, there are writers and editors all throughout the middle, there’s the layout people on one side, some online people on the other side. For newsrooms of all sizes, there’s structure here.
It’s worked for a long time. It’s supported the work of journalism because it worked okay enough. People came and went, but the processes of journalism, by and large, stay the same. This worked… well enough. And then the Internet happened. Like, it really happened.
[ Laughter ]
This is what our business looks like in 2017 because we’re all at a conference called Work, and because I spent a day with y’all yesterday I know I’m not the only person caught up in this chart, in this chaos, thinking this is out of control. It’s a lot. So I’m going to take a few minutes here to talk to you about why I think structure is so important and how this kind of thinking is starting to infiltrate in my newsroom and get you warmed up for the next sessions. So let’s dive in.
Structure is important. It’s how you organize your newsrooms, it’s how you organize your workflows, it’s how you organize your thoughts and behaviors. We have work to do. Our organizes have missions. Journalism is something of tremendous value but it’s also under attack. Unfortunately, in doing the work that we all love, too many of us are spending way too much of our creative energy trying to find that one email about that thing that we built last year that we want to build again this year, and was that a Google doc? Did you share that with me in an email, or was that Slack?
AUDIENCE: I love you! That is my life now!
JESSICA: So why doesn’t this search ever work? And since it’s online, can’t we do it faster? I know this is going up tomorrow but can’t we make the graphics a little more… interesting? So these are conversations that happen all the time. I know you have these conversations in your newsroom. I can’t speak for yours but I know that in mine we’re not prepared. We’re not equipped to handle them.
There’s a lot of change happening around newsrooms. Our workflows for print are changing in response to digital. Our web workflows are… eh. We’re updating our CMS, we’re redesigning our website, and roles and responsibilities are struggling to keep up. There are a lot of people in my newsroom who are spinning in this org chart. So how do we fix that? I don’t have the answers. A lot of us in this room have said that: we don’t have the answers. But I do have some very good questions. How do we press pause on this chaos and begin to address some of the structural legacy underlying issues thinking of us doing our best work together? How do we do that in a way that develop best practices for our industry? How do we stop doing that separately from one another? We’re all working on the same problem.
So while you think about that, I set out to get you warmed out for the next sessions in a minute. So let me tell you something about myself. I started boxing regularly about two years ago as a way of sort of…
AUDIENCE: Yes!
JESSICA: Adding discipline and structure to my life. And it’s taught me things about building and maintaining structure, and working efficiently. So I’m going to ask you to do a thing with me, you know, group participation, moving around activities. So are we good? Are we ready? You’re going to do this with me? Cool. If we could do just a little bit of shadow boxing…
[ Laughter ]
I’ll walk you through this. So I have one rule, and then I have some instructions. So the rule, as you probably have guessed, is “don’t hit anyone.”
[ Laughter ]
That’s the thing that we’re doing with ours. So draw an imaginary box around yourself that extends from your front to shoulders, watch out for glasses and things in your table, you’re going to stay in your box. You’re also going to pull your punches which is generally good life advice when you’re in close quarters. So that’s your rule. The instructions are that I’m going to teach you the first two punches you learn in boxing. So ready? That’s a jab and a cross. So one and a two. So here’s what we’re going to do? There’ll be a little bit more.   Got it? Let’s practice. I’m going to turn sideways so you can kind of like — I don’t do well mirroring. So let’s practice. One, one, one, two. Remember, when I call two, that’s a one and a two together.
One, two. Okay. You’re close, okay. So you do that and I’m going to talk about this chart. Can you find yourself here? One, raise your hand if you ever feel like you’re ever pulled in too many directions, one! Raise your hand if you ever feel like you’re herding cats. One. It’s okay. You can raise your hand as many times as you need to during this exercise. Two! Raise your hand if you’ve worked extra hard so that you could be here this week. Did extra work. One. Raise your hand if you’ve been working while here. One. Raise your hand if you’re an editor, or a designer, or a developer, and you felt you had to learn something new, and potentially terrifying, every single year just to stay afloat. One.
Raise your hand if you’re a manager and you care a whole lot about the happiness of your staff. One.  Two!
[ Laughter ]
One, and you wish you had the ability of a digital startup, two. Raise your hand if you work at a digital startup, one. And if you have definitely not got it all figured out. Two! Raise your hand if someone’s ever said to you, “Yeah, we don’t do that here.”
 Two! Raise your hand if you think we can build something better together. One. All right. That was great. Great job, everybody. That was round one. We only have 11 more to go! But that was hard, right? I was asking you to raise your hand if you identify with anything I said, and I was also asking you to shadow box by number. It’s kind of awkward and hard to raise your hand and to also shadow box. I saw some of you getting confused especially if you just learned how to shadow box. Do you see what you did there? It’s kind of hard to do one job if your job has turned into what might be two or three jobs in a better org chart. Managing expectations is important. In my newsroom we’re starting to think about how our traditional roles and responsibilities align with the expectations of project and team work that, you know, we’re hoping will help us achieve our digital ambitions. We are a friendly magazine.
So that means in many cases, being more explicit about what’s required from different people as they do team work and what’s required to achieve milestones along the way and throughout the project. It also means building a transparency so that everyone in the newsroom begins to see how interdependent our work is. I’ve been thinking about this a lot here, and as I have sort of prepped for this talk and before, how do we build legacy newsrooms that have structures that support the work that we want to do today, and the work that we want to do tomorrow. How do we build structures that support us by managing expectations and emphasizing transparency and accountability? What would that look like?
So let’s do one more round but a little bit differently this time. If you’re here today, if you’re here, you’re with me, you’re here in this room today, one. And you’re ready for a second day, a hard but encouraging work together. High-five your neighbor! Now if it feels okay, close your eyes again.  Picture your org chart.  Let’s fix it. That’s it.
[ Applause ]
RYAN: Thank you, Jessica, that was awesome. Thank you for those questions. Thank you for getting our blood flowing. That was amazing. Can y’all help me thank Mandy and Jessica one more time?
[ Cheers and Applause ]
So we’re doing great on time this morning. It is 10:33. The first set of breakout sessions starts at 10:45. So check out the schedules and see what’s happening at 10:45. There’s signs on the doors. But let’s get going. Let’s do work together. This has been awesome. Thank you so much.


As we grow, we do so in fits and starts, lurching forward then back, sometimes looking more like clowns than seekers.

Mobile first design
Mobile first means that during our website planning, we plan the content and layout for the mobile first. Planning for mobile first ensures us to consider the most important thing of our website. The screen is so tiny that we have to think clearly what’s important enough to earn a place there. And what is the most important thing that we put it on top of this tiny screen.
In grid system, mobile first means we use the small-*
layout modifiers by default. When we need to build a wider layout, we start using the medium-*
, large-*
and even xlarge-*
. Each one overrides the smaller one.

Once again, just to satisfy my curiosity, I want to do a tiny comparison of a basic feature in both languages, trying to see how data structures are implemented. Ok, I’m fairly certain how it works for in C++, I’m really just curious about Haskell.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>
struct BinaryNode {
int val;
BinaryNode *leftchild, *rightchild;
BinaryNode(int v, BinaryNode* lc = nullptr, BinaryNode* rc = nullptr)
: val(v), leftchild(lc), rightchild(rc) {}
};
struct NaryNode {
int val;
std::vector<NaryNode*> children;
NaryNode(int v, std::vector<NaryNode*>& c) : val(v), children(c) {}
};
int binarySum(BinaryNode* node) {
if (node == nullptr) {
return 0;
}
return node->val + binarySum(node->leftchild) + binarySum(node->rightchild);
}
int narySum(NaryNode* node) {
if (node == nullptr) {
return 0;
}
int sum = node->val;
for (const auto it : node->children) {
sum += narySum(it);
}
return sum;
}
// Create dummy binary and n-ary trees and print out their sum
int main() {
std::unique_ptr<BinaryNode> bnode1(new BinaryNode(4));
std::unique_ptr<BinaryNode> bnode2(new BinaryNode(5));
std::unique_ptr<BinaryNode> broot(new BinaryNode(0, bnode1.get(), bnode2.get()));
std::cout << "BinarySum = " << binarySum(broot.get()) << std::endl;
std::vector<NaryNode*> children;
std::unique_ptr<NaryNode> nnode1(new NaryNode(4, children));
std::unique_ptr<NaryNode> nnode2(new NaryNode(5, children));
std::unique_ptr<NaryNode> nnode3(new NaryNode(6, children));
children.push_back(nnode1.get());
children.push_back(nnode2.get());
children.push_back(nnode3.get());
std::unique_ptr<NaryNode> nroot(new NaryNode(0, children));
std::cout << "NarySum = " << narySum(nroot.get()) << std::endl;
}
Assembly highlights:
Uploaded the full file as a Gist (it’s 6437 lines long, we aren’t in Hello World territory any more; on the other hand, this program would have been much longer in C.
The function _Z9binarySumP10BinaryNode
is defined near the top, and the function _Z7narySumP8NaryNode
right under it.
The assembly code follows along almost exactly as the C++ code above (of course all the struct offsets are “just added” and you don’t see the members being accessed directly).
The recursion is more obviously visible for the first function, where you see a pattern of “call the function”, “call the function again” and then add the node value to it. For the second function, you can see calls to vector<NaryNode>::begin()
and vector<NaryNode>::end()
at the beginning of the loop, and the test ‘n’ jump and the recursive call in the middle of the body.
It is useful also to see how main()
works here, you can see three calls to the BinaryNode
constructor (_ZN10BinaryNodeC1EiPS_S0_
), and then similar stuff for the NaryNode
objects. At the end are multiple calls to the destructors (similar to callq _ZNSt10unique_ptrI8NaryNodeSt14default_deleteIS0_EED1Ev
).
Most of the rest of the code is the definition of these functions (vector begin/end and unique_ptr delete etc.)
Note: I found a better way to show the assembly <-> source correspondence, in an interactive way: GCC Explorer and I’ll use that next time, it’s just way more convenient. Also, I’ve been showing unoptimized assembly, which is just noise, will refer to -O2
next time.
data BinaryTree a = BinaryLeaf a | BinaryBranch (BinaryTree a) (BinaryTree a)
data NaryTree a = NaryLeaf a | NaryBranch [NaryTree a]
binarySum :: (Num a) => (BinaryTree a) -> a
binarySum (BinaryLeaf x) = x
binarySum (BinaryBranch a b) = (binarySum a) + (binarySum b)
narySum :: (Num a) => NaryTree a -> a
narySum (NaryLeaf x) = x
narySum (NaryBranch b) = foldl (\acc x -> acc + (narySum x)) 0 b
--Create dummy binary and n-ary trees and print out their sum
main = let bt = BinaryBranch (BinaryLeaf 4) (BinaryLeaf 5)
nt = NaryBranch ((NaryLeaf 4) : (NaryLeaf 5) : (NaryLeaf 6) : [])
in do
putStrLn ("BinarySum = " ++ show(binarySum bt))
putStrLn ("NarySum = " ++ show(narySum nt))
Assembly highlights:
Uploaded the full file (core) as a Gist
main
is present as main1
near the bottom, which has two calls to Handle.Text.hPutStr2
The binary sum is unpacked quite straightforwardly :-
main_$sbinarySum =
\ (ds_dBk :: BinaryTree Type.Integer) ->
case ds_dBk of _ {
BinaryLeaf x_aaA -> x_aaA;
BinaryBranch a_aaB b_aaC ->
Type.plusInteger
(main_$sbinarySum a_aaB) (main_$sbinarySum b_aaC)
}
whereas the nary sum is less so :-
main_$snarySum =
\ (ds_dtA :: NaryTree Type.Integer) ->
case ds_dtA of _ {
NaryLeaf x_aad -> x_aad;
NaryBranch b_aae -> lgo_r1MR lvl_r1MQ b_aae
}
lgo_r1MR =
\ (z_atM :: Type.Integer)
(ds_atN :: [NaryTree Type.Integer]) ->
case ds_atN of _ {
[] -> z_atM;
: x_atS xs_atT ->
lgo_r1MR
(Type.plusInteger z_atM (main_$snarySum x_atS))
xs_atT
}
with the second function being defined for iteration. I uploaded a gist with the assembly output, which is of course tedious and quite spaghetti-like.
Here is an example of the nary leaf:
.globl Main_NaryLeaf_closure
.type Main_NaryLeaf_closure, @object
Main_NaryLeaf_closure:
.quad Main_NaryLeaf_info
.text
.align 8
.quad<PHONE_NUMBER>
.quad 0
.quad 15
Main_NaryLeaf_info:
.LcBb:
addq $16,%r12
cmpq 144(%r13),%r12
ja .LcBg
movq $Main_NaryLeaf_con_info,-8(%r12)
movq %r14,0(%r12)
leaq -7(%r12),%rbx
jmp *0(%rbp)
.LcBg:
movq $16,192(%r13)
.LcBe:
movl $Main_NaryLeaf_closure,%ebx
jmp *-8(%r13)
.size Main_NaryLeaf_info, .-Main_NaryLeaf_info
Pretty much on par here:
$ time ./cpptree
BinarySum = 9
NarySum = 15
real 0m0.005s
user 0m0.000s
$ time ./haskelltree
BinarySum = 9
NarySum = 15
real 0m0.004s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
Fast compilation, comparable run-time, shorter code … we’re talking serious competition here :)

The date by which this activation request should expire, in timestamp format, such as "2021-07-07T00:00:00". You can specify a date up to 30 days in advance. If you don't provide an expiration date, the activation code expires in 24 hours.
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-ssm/lib/aws-sdk-ssm/types.rb', line 2739
class CreateActivationRequest < Struct.new( :description, :default_instance_name, :iam_role, :registration_limit, :expiration_date, :, : ) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#iam_role ⇒ String
(rw)
The name of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that you
want to assign to the managed node. This IAM role must provide
AssumeRole permissions for the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager
service principal ssm.amazonaws.com
. For more information, see
Create an ::Aws::IAM
service role for a hybrid environment in the
Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
::Aws::IAM
service-linked role for this parameter.
You must create a unique role.

class CreateActivationRequest < Struct.new( :description, :default_instance_name, :iam_role, :registration_limit, :expiration_date, :, : ) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#registration_limit ⇒ Integer
(rw)
Specify the maximum number of managed nodes you want to register.
The default value is 1
.

class CreateActivationRequest < Struct.new( :description, :default_instance_name, :iam_role, :registration_limit, :expiration_date, :, : ) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#registration_metadata ⇒ Array
<Types::RegistrationMetadataItem> (rw)
Reserved for internal use.
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-ssm/lib/aws-sdk-ssm/types.rb', line 2739
class CreateActivationRequest < Struct.new( :description, :default_instance_name, :iam_role, :registration_limit, :expiration_date, :, : ) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#tags ⇒ Array
<Types::Tag> (rw)
Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag an activation to identify which servers or virtual machines (VMs) in your on-premises environment you intend to activate. In this case, you could specify the following key-value pairs:
Key=OS,Value=Windows
Key=Environment,Value=Production
When you install ::Aws::SSM
Agent on your on-premises servers and VMs, you
specify an activation ID and code. When you specify the activation
ID and code, tags assigned to the activation are automatically
applied to the on-premises servers or VMs.
You can't add tags to or delete tags from an existing activation. You can tag your on-premises servers, edge devices, and VMs after they connect to Systems Manager for the first time and are assigned a managed node ID. This means they are listed in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager console with an ID that is prefixed with "mi-". For information about how to add tags to your managed nodes, see AddTagsToResource. For information about how to remove tags from your managed nodes, see RemoveTagsFromResource.

Introduction
Build tool requirements
Migration
Next steps
Questions?
Since October 2017 I'm the Lead Architect for SAP Predictive Maintenance
Before I worked for Successfactors on "developer productivity"
Responsible for development environments
Process and tool improvements
Acquired by SAP in 2011/2012
Global provider of cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software
Suite integrates onboarding, social business and collaboration tools, a learning management system
Performance management, recruiting software, applicant tracking software, succession planning,
Talent management, and HR analytics to deliver business strategy alignment, team execution
40 Million users (2016)
Developed by several hundred developers
More than 100000 source code files
More than 100 repositories a few of them large
New release shipped every 3 months
More than 90% on a JVM stack
Small team working on
Development environments
Continuous integration
Tool and process improvements
Ant + Ivy was our build tool
Transitive dependency resolution unusable slow
Unreliable "incremental" builds
Developers run full rebuilds most of the time
I was looking for alternatives (already in 2014)
Migration must be non-disruptive
Reuse some ant tasks
Do not change Project layout
Checkout a subset of our components and run a build with one command
SPEED
Low overhead important for some tasks
Change one JavaScript file, build and deploy
Overhead would be up to 50 seconds
Minimize the need for full rebuilds
We need reliable compile avoidance
Java project A depends on B, which depends on C
If only C changes we do not need to compile A
If a private method in C changes we do not need to compile B and A
Bazel, was not yet there
Buck,relatively new
Maven, SAPs standard
Netflix switched to Gradle
Not much of an improvement over ant
Compile avoidance, no improvement over ant
Rigid build model
See also maven vs gradle
We decided to use Gradle
We've build simple performance monitoring for Ant
Persisted all build times into influxdb
Put Grafana UI on top of it
Estimated a 1 million $ per build minute saved
Migrated a few projects(partially) to gradle, with promising results
Got management buy-in
build-system contains common build scripts
Most projects have a minimal build script
Compile all projects with one build command
Project ivy.xml use variables for version numbers
ivy-versions.properties in build-system contains the version numbers
Allows us to update versions for shared library centrally
If B and C depend on A
A change to A can break compiling B and C
We have a lot of components, so breaks were very relatively frequent
We implemented the "reverse dependency check"
For each component we have a file in build-system that describes all components depending on the component
During the release of a component these "reverse dependency" files are updated
The reverse dependency check uses byte code analysis to check whether anything would break
An order of magnitude faster then compiling the components
Luckily our build was 90% standardized
Mostly implemented by one engineer in a few months
All Jenkins jobs were running with ant and gradle for a while
Pilot with small number of developers
Worked almost flawlessly from the beginning
We had quite a bit of build code in Java, which was easy to port
Very good support from gradle engineers
Overhead for build after small code change improved 10x
Developers more often run non-clean builds around, 5x faster than old clean build
Large Release builds 2x faster
More reliable build
Developers waste less time
The new build-scan feature is fantastic
Reduces support effort
Help us to optimize the build further
Use gradle parallel build
Use new build cache
Optimize memory usage of gradle daemon
Migrate other projects to gradle
Paul Hammant good source for monorepo information type
