After a pretty wild 72 hours of brainstorming, googling, and searching through registered trademarks via the USPTO, a winner has emerged in the search for a name for the software formerly known as SwitchTower.
Ah, Capistrano!
On Friday, Marcel Molina IM’d me:
marcel: name idea marcel: Capistrano marcel: as in, the swallows of Capistrano marcel: http://www.sanjuancapistrano.net/swallows/
The name clicked for me right off, but at the time I wasn’t making any real judgement calls regarding the names—I was just adding them to a great big list.
By late Saturday, we had several names that we really liked. My wife had suggested “Roundabout”, which won the heart of many on the core team, but unfortunately was already a registered trademark. Other names we liked, but which had to be discarded were “Switchyard”, “Metro”, “Sherpa”, and “Remote Control”. We rapidly discovered that the descriptive names were already trademarked. We considered various others from the railroad theme, but decided it was being overused, and we also wanted to emphasize that this software was really independent of Rails.
Tobias Lütke really liked “Reploy”, but it felt awkward to me. Scott Barron suggested both “Deployinator” and “Vlad the Deployer”, the latter of which I really liked, but couldn’t picture showing up on the cover of a book. (“Agile Web Deployment with Vlad the Deployer”...)
Several of us liked the name “Sherpa” enough to try looking for alternative ideas related to that theme. “Porter”, “envoy”, and the like were all considered. I took quite a shining to “Pemba”, which is apparently the traditional given name for Sherpa males born on Saturday. It also happens to be Chad Fowler’s Tibetan name, given to him by a Tibetan monk. From that association, I added “Chad” as a possible name for the program, and Marcel promptly found a t-shirt proclaiming “Chad is Rad.” Wouldn’t it be great to have a ready-made shirt for this thing?
Eventually, I made an executive decision and narrowed the list down to “Pemba”, and “Capistrano”. Putting it to the core team:
| Jamis B. | ok, if you had to choose between “Capistrano” and “Pemba” for the new ST name, which would you choose? |
| Rick O. | capistrano |
| David H. | capistrano |
| Nicholas S. | +1 |
| Jamis B. | ok, anyone have any significant issues with “capistrano”? I’m willing to work on this for up to 6 more hours before I make a decision. |
| (personally, I really like capistrano) | |
| Nicholas S. | makes me want a meat sandwhich |
| Tobias L. | that name is vastly undescriptive for what it does |
| Jamis B. | at this point, that is the least of my worries |
| all the descriptive names are either taken, or too awkward (IMO) | |
| Tobias L. | you can’t use it as verb either really |
| Jamis B. | “cap it” |
| David H. | haha ;) |
| Jamis B. | you couldn’t use ST as a verb, either, really |
| Tobias L. | hm that works |
| David H. | Descriptive names are overrated |
| Jamis B. | agreed |
| they’re also all trademarked ;) | |
| so I’m perhaps just suffering from SGS | |
| (Sour Grapes Syndrome) | |
| Thomas F. | you could call it “PDI” (program deployment initiative or so). |
| Tobias L. | hahaahaha!!! |
| Jamis B. | clever ;) |
| Thomas F. | but if it works as well as it does, it really doesn’t matter. |
| Jamis B. | my question really is: is there anyone here that could not live with ST being called “capistrano”? |
| Tobias L. | I like Sour Grape ;0 |
| Jamis B. | I’m sure I’ll get bombarded by complaints, no matter what I call it |
| haha :) | |
| David H. | I say go on capistrano |
| It’s a destination for the train ;) | |
| All rails goes to capistrano | |
| Jamis B. | haha! I like that |
| “All rails go to capistrano” is a really nice hook ;) | |
| Tobias L. | well i’m bikeshedding, capistrano is a disitinct and unique name |
| Jamis B. | frankly, nothing clicks for me like “SwitchTower” does, but I do really like the sound of “capistrano” |
| casually sophisticated | |
| pleasant | |
| refreshing | |
| anyway, capistrano it is | |
| Tobias L. | it sounds like a coctail at a beach bar though |
| Jamis B. | that too ;) |
| Thomas F. | mmh, cocktails. :) |
| Jamis B. | I’ll announce the name change tonight and start refactoring all references |
| Thomas F. | “I’ve a quick rails app, and a capistrano to go with that” |
| Jamis B. | hahaha |
| Tobias L. | /me whispers reploy into his beard |
So, Capistrano it is. I’ll be going through and changing all references I can find and control from SwitchTower to Capistrano over the next day or two.
“All rails go to Capistrano.”
“Just cap it.”
Done.

These with the following, are the effects that this book was to produce: "..." According to the above, it was to be but a little while after the book came forth, before the terrible one [Satan] should be brought to naught. He is not yet brought to naught; therefore, the appearing of the book was a work of as late a date as the nineteenth century. The house of Jacob shall not now be ashamed, or in other words they will be brought to a knowledge of the truth, and no more be degraded, cast off, or made ashamed, because of their transgressions. This corresponds with what XXPROPHET says about Israel after the two sticks were to come together. "..." etc. Since the appearance of the XXBOOKOFMORMON many thousands that were blinded by sectarian doctrines, and erred in spirit, have been made to rejoice in God: for they have come to a correct understanding of the principles of righteousness. But says one, what is the use of this book, admitting it is true?--We answer, first, it brings to light an important history before unknown to man; second, it reveals the origin of the American Indians; third, it contains important prophecies, yet to be fulfilled, which immediately concern this generation; fourth, it contains much plainness in regard to points of doctrine, inasmuch that all may understand, and see eye to eye, if they take the pains to read it; fifth, it helps to fill the measure of the knowledge of God, that it may cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

Now reader, we have said much about the tribe of Ephraim, and that the XXBOOKOFMORMON, to use XXPROPHET’s words, is the "..." and it is plain from the prophets that the Lord has chosen the tribes of Ephraim, and Judah, to be instruments in his hands to perform great works. Christ was of Judah, and the apostles were chiefly of the same tribe. They have performed their work, namely, preached the gospel to the nations of the earth, and written much by inspiration;--but God has sent forth some of the writings of the tribe of Ephraim, or Joseph, and he will yet make instruments of them to gather Israel; and help prepare the way for the Millenium: therefore, it is reasonable for us to look for their writings: for, according to XXPROPHET they were to have an abundance of them; speaking of the Ephraimites, he says: "..."--XXSCRIP. David says by the word of the Lord: "..."--XXSCRIP. XXPROPHET says: "..."--XXSCRIP. Now the children of Joseph, or Ephraim never have been the instruments in the hands of God to gather in the people from the ends of the earth; but according to the above they will yet do it. XXPROPHET is very plain on this subject: "..."--XXSCRIP. First it is said, in the above that the watchmen of Ephraim shall cry to the people, saying, "..." second, it is said that the children of Israel shall be restored; third, when they are restored, Ephraim shall be the Lord’s first-born. Ephraim was the second son of Joseph, and Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob; therefore, this birth has reference to the Ephraimites, first of all the tribes receiving the gospel--being born of God.  "..."--XXSCRIP. XXPROPHET speaking of their restoration, and the everlasting covenant that the Lord will make with them, says: "..."--XXSCRIP. Now we ask, can any one tell whether the American Indians are of Israel unless by revelation from God? This was a hidden mystery, which was necessary to be revealed in time for their gathering.--But enough is already said upon this part of the subject.--There is an abundance of collateral evidence in favor of this work, such, as the predictions of the prophets concerning the ensign that God will rear for the gathering of Israel; "..."  He pitched his tent in the wilderness near the Red Sea, and sent back his sons to Jerusalem, who persuaded one Ishmael and his family to accompany them to their father XXPROPHET. The Lord promised to lead them to a choice land above all lands; therefore they set out on their journey for this land. After a long and tedious journey, they came to the great waters, or the Ocean. XXPROPHET the son of XXPROPHET, who was also a prophet, and their pilot, or leader in the wilderness; was commanded and instructed to build a ship sufficiently large to transport them over the sea. This work was accomplished in eight years from the time they left Jerusalem. They set sail, and in a proper time they landed, as we infer from their record, somewhere on the Western coast of South America.  Laman, Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael rebelled against God, and would not keep his commandments: for this they were cursed. Their posterity in process of time became a powerful nation; but extremely wicked, and their chief occupations were hunting, plundering, and roving about from place to place. In the XXBOOKOFMORMON they are called Lamanites. The other sons ef XXPROPHET were obedient to the commands of God. Their posterity also in the course of time became a great nation, and were called Nephites. To them God committed his divine oracles, (the holy priesthood) and they had prophets and inspired men among them. They also kept a record of their prophecies, and revelations, and the proceedings of their nation. When they left Jerusalem they brought with them the law of XXPROPHET, and the writings of the former prophets, down to the days of XXPROPHET.  The Nephites were at times faithful to God, at other times they were indifferent, and would not be faithful. They frequently had long and tedious wars with the Lamanites, and were often driven before them. They were constantly emigrating to the North. At length they commenced settlements in the region of country, not far from the Isthmus of Darien, and while in those parts they advanced farther in science and arts, than at any time previous; and built more spacious cities, and buildings than they did before.

Individuals of the Lamanites at times were obedient to the faith. The Nephites after Christ’s appearance were faithful for many years; but in the third or fourth century iniquity began to abound, and their love began to wax cold. Some dissented and raised up churches for the sake of gain; and thus they were troubled with the spirit of pride and haughtiness. God commanded Mormon, who lived in the fourth century, to preach repentance to them, and foretell their destruction if they would not repent. The Lord foreseeing that they would not repent, commanded Mormon to collect the writings of his forefathers--their revelations and prophecies, etc., and make an abridgment of them, and engrave them upon new plates, (their manner of keeping records was to engrave them on metallic plates.)  Oh! sin thou foul monster!

XXPROPHET was then commanded to deposite this record in the earth, together with the Urim and Thummim, or as the Nephites would have said, Interpreters, which were instruments to assist in the work of the translation, with a promise form the Lord that it should be brought to light by means of a Gentile Nation that should possess the land; and be published to the world, and go forth to the Lamanites, and be one of the instruments in the hands of God for their conversion. It remained safe in the place where it was deposited, till it was brought to light by the administration of angels, and translated by the gift, and power of God. But says one, who ever heard of such a thing as a record being deposited in the earth? We answer: that it is nothing more strange than it was for XXPROPHET to hide the tabernacle, and the ark of the covenant, which contained the tables of stone, written upon by the finger of God, Aaron’s rod, and the pot of manna, in mount Nebo. This account is to be found in the Apocrypha of the Old Testament; 2nd Book of Maccabees, ii chapter. But says the objector, perhaps the account is not true? We answer: that history corroborates it. This record was not designed to be a source of wealth, or wordly profit to any one; but to be deposited again, because they were sacred, as much so, as the tables of stone, on which the ten commandments were written. However they were shown to chosen witnesses, men of undoubted veracity, who testify that they saw it, and know by the voice of an angel that it is the work of God. But says the objector, again, why was it not shown to the world, and then there would have been no doubt about this matter? We answer: first, because God commanded otherwise, which is the best of all reasons; second, the same may be said about the tables of stone; why did not XXPROPHET show them to all the children of Israel? We have no account of his showing them to but a few; but on the contrary they were placed in the Holy of Holy where the High-priest was only allowed to enter once a year. Third, why did not Christ show himself to the Jews after his resurrection, and thus convince them that he was the true Messiah? Peter said: "..."--XXSCRIP. Thus the world had to believe the resurrection of Christ from the testimony of interested witnesses, and not from disiniterested. What men often think to be the best way, God generally looks upon as foolishness.  It is affirmed to be true, from the testimony of an angel, and a million negatives will not make it false, or effect its truth in the least. There was a few individuals that testified to the resurrection of Christ from an actual knowledge--they had seen him; but there were many nations that denied, and said, he had not rise from the dead; but what did it all amount to? He came from heaven, and the only way for them to know whether he did or not, was to get a revelation. XXPROPHET testified of the flood, and for all that we know, all the Antediluvians took the negative side of the question; but what did it all amount to? XXPROPHET obtained his knowledge from heaven, and condemned the whole world by his testimony; and yet they had as many reasons for rejecting him, as the people have for rejecting the XXBOOKOFMORMON. XXPROPHET alone testified of the flood; but there are thousands that can testify that the XXBOOKOFMORMON is true. If the XXBOOKOFMORMON is the work of wicked men, it cannot be found out in any other way but by revelation; therefore, those who oppose it, that have received no revelation, do not know whether they are fighting against God, or the Devil. Thus the XXBOOKOFMORMON is supported by that kind of evidence, that all the divines, priests, and professors, cannot overthrow it. It bears its own weight: for it is true, and none can make it false. Indeed, if there was no other evidence in favor of it, but the testimony of the three witnesses which we have inserted, we should consider ourselves under obligation to believe it, until a testimony is received from heaven to over-balance that which is in favor, which professes to have come from heaven. Others may think as they please. But says one, the characters of some of the founders of the sect are such that we have reason to believe that it is all a fabrication. We know of nothing that is derogatory to their characters, but the foul misrepresentations of priests, professors, and editors. The professors of religion circulated falsehoods about Christ, and the apostles; but all did not make Christ a false prophet. A thousand falsehoods are in circulation about the XXBOOKOFMORMON, and those who were the instruments in the hands of God to bring about this work and what do they all prove? If they prove any thing, they prove that they are men of God, and that the XXBOOKOFMORMON is true. Christ said: "..." "..." "..." Again, why were not these things revealed to some of the learned divines, instead of XXFIRSTNAME XXLASTNAME? Answer: why did not Christ choose for his apostles some of the High-priests of the Pharisees, or some of the doctors of the law, instead of fishermen. "..."
 Their testimony is to be found on the last page of the XXBOOKOFMORMON.--We will now extract a few prophecies from the XXBOOKOFMORMON.

Optimizing unicorn for your Ruby on Rails application on Linux Ubuntu and Debian platform Ruby, Rails, Optimization
Difficulty: 3
Time: 3 hours
Rails is a nice web framework, but over past few years, it has grown into a complex system. Particularly when using Unicorn, Rails apps tend to consume a lot of memory. Understanding its operational details and optimizing its performance can be a critical factor for success of any Rails developer. This article will assist you with few simple things that can be done to enhance the performance of Unicorn for your Rails applications.
To get started, you'll need to have Ruby on Rails installed on your machine using RVM. For detailed steps, see
It is assumed that you are logged in as a sudo user.
By default, Rails uses the "Webrick" server to run applications. It is fast, but unfortunately, it can not handle concurrent connection requests. For optimized performance, Unicorn must be set as the default server for Rails. Unicorn is a multi-threaded web server, capable of handling multiple requests simultaneously, thus optimizing the performance considerably.
If you are using ruby 1.9 or earlier, it is recommended to upgrade to 2.0 or above. Because ruby 1.9 and earlier versions do not support automated garbage collection, and thus are unable to take benefits of Copy-on-Write (CoW) feature.
You can check your Ruby version using "ruby -v" command. If your version is >=2.0, you are on right track, but in case it is 1.9 or earlier, you should upgrade to >=2.0
To boost the performance of Unicorn, some configuration settings can be checked. These are available in the Unicorn's default configuration file config/unicorn.rb
.
Now open this file and check out the following configurations:
Worker process defines the total number of concurrent worker to be launched. This ideally depends upon the memory available to the processes to execute. So depending upon your application and the availability of memory, you can set the number of concurrent worker process to run. For example, to allow 5 concurrent connections, you can set the value to 5 workers using the following settings:
Timeout defines the time duration to wait before the worker times out. It is usually preferred to keep a lower base value for timeout to avoid holding back a long queue. So ideally 15 to 30 is considered as a rational value, but depending upon the nature of applications, this can be changed accordingly.
This defines the ability to preload the Rails application using CoW, before forking the worker processes. This setting impacts startup time when running Unicorn worker processes. This should be set to true. Although, when using this option, special care is to be taken when opening and closing any sockets. When workers are forked, any associated connection (like database connections or others which require sockets) must be closed and reopened.
When using Unicorn, all the forked or child processes of Ruby application consumes memory. So in case there is any memory leakage in the Ruby application, use of Unicorn would increase the problem multi-fold times. Over a period of time,situation may arrive when all the memory might get used and no additional memory is left, ultimately causing the system to halt or crash. Although Unicorn may not be causing this problem, but can be resolved using Unicorn-worker-killer.
Unicorn worker killer is a gem that provides automatic restart of worker without affecting any request. It is based on the maximum number of requests and the consumed memories, and helps avoid excess consumption of memory in an event of memory leakage. Here are the steps for using unicorn-worker-killer:
To install worker killer fire the below command:
Then use
Open file config.ru located in the default project directory.

(Warning: I don't know how lean being multithreaded works.)
I've been thinking about how you can store data in an identifier tagged with an attribute. Since a tactic being executed in (for example) the course of a proof can modify this data and change its behaviour based on it, are tactics using this data thread-safe? If for example a piece of attribute data keeps track of a list of things, which might be added to using another attribute or something like that, is it possible that the list contents are read simultaneously, each have a different element appended to them, and then two threads race to write their contents back to the same field with one ultimately winning?
I just can't see how it could possibly be thread-safe. If this is the case, isn't it dangerous (except in trivial situations) for anything to set the data associated to a attribute?
It's a functional data structure, so there isn't any possibility for races
The data associated to an attribute is a pure function of the set of names that have the attribute in the environment
or maybe more usefully, it is a function of the environment
object, which is itself a functional data structure
Each definition adds to the environment
object in a way similar to list.cons
. The old environment is still available. In particular, AFAIK the only multithreading lean does (in a single file) is in proof checking, and proofs (theorem
elaboration) are not allowed to modify the environment (any changes they make are inlined or rolled back when the proof is complete). def
s are allowed to modify the environment, but they run sequentially in the file processing.
I'm still a bit confused about this
What happens if two tactics running in proofs of separate theorem
s set conflicting options
, for example?
Oh sorry, you explained---the changes are forgotten

This chart shows the Situational nodes that are top-ranked overall using the node-level measures listed below. The value shown for a node is the average of its measure values, each of which is first converted into a z-score. The final scores are then normalized to be between zero and one.
There are 19 nodes in the nodeset.
Overall Score Measure List
Centrality, Hub [Semantic Network [Situational x Organization]]
Centrality, Out-Degree [Semantic Network [Situational x Organization]]
Centrality, Hub
A node is hub-central to the extent that its out-links are to nodes that have many in-links. Individuals or organizations that act as hubs are sending information to a wide range of others each of whom has many others reporting to them. Technically, an agent is hub-central if its out-links are to agents that have many other agents sending links to them. The scientific name of this measure is hub centrality and it is calculated on agent by agent matrices.
If the node of interest has a higher than normal value (greater than 1 standard deviation(s) above the mean) the row is colored red. The row is green if the node is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Finally, the row is colored blue if the node has a lower than normal value (less than one standard deviation(s) below the mean).

For any node, e.g. an individual or a resource, the out-links are the connections that the node of interest has to other nodes. For example, imagine an agent by knowledge network where the number of out-links an agent would have is the number of pieces of knowledge it is connected to. The scientific name of this measure is out-degree and it can be calculated on any network.
If the node of interest has a higher than normal value (greater than 1 standard deviation(s) above the mean) the row is colored red. The row is green if the node is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Finally, the row is colored blue if the node has a lower than normal value (less than one standard deviation(s) below the mean).

Centrality, Authority
A node is authority-central to the extent that its in-links are from nodes that have many out-links. Individuals or organizations that act as authorities are receiving information from a wide range of others each of whom sends information to a large number of others.
If the node of interest has a higher than normal value (greater than 1 standard deviation(s) above the mean) the row is colored red. The row is green if the node is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Finally, the row is colored blue if the node has a lower than normal value (less than one standard deviation(s) below the mean).

Public invited to funeral of Colorado boy hit in crosswalk
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - The family of 6-year-old Colorado boy who died after being hit in a crosswalk outside his school is inviting the public to his funeral.
A service will be held for Vale Wolkow at First Presbyterian Church in Fort Collins at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The Coloradoan newspaper reports that a livestream will be available in the church’s fellowship hall to accommodate those who can’t fit inside the church.
The kindergartner died Tuesday after he was hit by an SUV driven by a 23-year-old man. Police say the driver had stopped at a four-way stop and then drove forward, hitting the boy.
Police are still investigating but don’t believe that speed, alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor.
