Top flavourful carrot and coriander soup with some crispy beignets for a special supper.
For the soup, heat the olive oil and the butter in a large lidded saucepan. Add the onion, cover and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the carrots and ground coriander and gently fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Add the chopped coriander then put the soup in a blender and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 180C. Alternatively, heat the oil in a deep, heavy-based frying pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it.
Heat the butter and 125ml/4fl oz water in a saucepan until boiling, then boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and beat in the flour and cayenne pepper using a wooden spoon until smooth, or until the mixture comes away from the side of the pan. Return the pan to the heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Remove the pan from the heat and beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well before adding the second egg.
Stir in the white and brown crabmeat and mix until well combined, then season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle. Carefully pipe 1½cm/½in long sections into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden-brown and crisp. Remove the beignets from the pan using a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls, scatter over some crab beignets. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with the baby coriander.


Hello Dear, Greastest compliments and how are you? Please let me introduce myself to you. I am Lt. Gen Dan Broswer , a former Director of Logistic and Planning in Federal Republic of Liberia. Before the heat of the war in my country Liberia, I was handed (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) USD20.5M for the purchase of Military Eqiupments, Arms and Amminition from Russia. The condition that befell the former government of Charles Taylor did not permit me to use the money for the purpose. And this fund has already been diplomatically transfered into a foreign Security Company for security reasons. Which I will give you all the necessary information and the documents covering this money as soon as I hear from you; then we can discuss about the percentage I am going to offer you after the transaction. Presently, I am in Dakar, Senegal where I have been granted refugee since the intervation of United Nation Organization in my country. Now, I intend to go into a Real Estate Business with this money I deposited in a Security Company since I am no longer into power. But please, you have to understand that a transaction of this magnitude and nature requires absolute secrecy so that no one else will hears about it especially, our mutual agreement to utilize this money for purchasing of Military Eqiupments as stated in the paragraph above. Thanks as I solicite your humble and truthful assistance in this financial transaction; and looking forward to hearing from you soon. With best regards. Sincerely, Lt. Gen. Dan Broswer dbroswer@lycos.com

Documentation
Getting Started
Install
npm i fastify --save
Your first server
Let’s write a Hello world server!
// Require the framework and instantiate it
const fastify = require('fastify')()
// Declare a route
fastify.get('/', function (request, reply) {
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
})
// Run the server!
fastify.listen(3000, function (err) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(`server listening on ${fastify.server.address().port}`)
})
Schema serialization
How get better performances?
Fastify is designed to be very performant, if you want to make it even faster, you can use JSON schema to speed up the serialization of your output.
const fastify = require('fastify')()
const opts = {
schema: {
response: {
200: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
hello: { type: 'string' }
}
}
}
}
}
// Declare a route with an output schema
fastify.get('/', opts, function (request, reply) {
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
})
fastify.listen(3000, function (err) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(`server listening on ${fastify.server.address().port}`)
})
If you want to know more about the serialization and validation, check here!
Register
As you can see use Fastify is very easy and handy.
Obviously register all the routes in the same file is not a good idea, Fastify offers an utility to solve this problem, register
.
/* server.js */
const fastify = require('fastify')()
fastify.register(require('./route'), function (err) {
if (err) throw err
})
const opts = {
hello: 'world',
something: true
}
fastify.register([
require('./another-route'),
require('./yet-another-route')
], opts, function (err) {
if (err) throw err
})
fastify.listen(8000, function (err) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(`server listening on ${fastify.server.address().port}`)
})
/* route.js */
module.exports = function (fastify, options, next) {
fastify.get('/', schema, function (req, reply) {
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
})
next()
}
Run from CLI
You can also run Fastify from the CLI thanks to fastify-cli, it’s very easy!
Just add the following lines to your package.json
{
"scripts": {
"start": "fastify server.js"
}
}
And create your server file(s):
// server.js
'use strict'
module.exports = function (fastify, opts, next) {
fastify.get('/', (req, reply) => {
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
})
next()
}
Then run your server with:
npm start


Once you have built an application, you will need a way to program in the resulting ".HEX" file (and, if your application uses EEPROM variables with initial values, also a ".EEP" file) into your USB AVR. Normally, the reprogramming of an AVR device must be performed using a special piece of programming hardware, through one of the supported AVR programming protocols - ISP, HVSP, HVPP, JTAG or dW. This can be done through a custom programmer, a third party programmer, or an official Atmel AVR tool - for more information, see the Atmel.com website.
Alternatively, you can use the bootloader. From the Atmel factory, each USB AVR comes preloaded with the Atmel DFU (Device Firmware Update) class bootloader, a small piece of AVR firmware which allows the remainder of the AVR to be programmed through a non-standard interface such as the serial USART port, SPI, or (in this case) USB. Bootloaders have the advantage of not requiring any special hardware for programming, and cannot usually be erased or broken without an external programming device. They have disadvantages however; they cannot change the fuses of the AVR (special configuration settings that control the operation of the chip itself) and a small portion of the AVR's FLASH program memory must be reserved to contain the bootloader firmware, and thus cannot be used by the loaded application. Atmel's DFU bootloader is either 4KB (for the smaller USB AVRs) or 8KB (for the larger USB AVRs).
If you wish to use the DFU bootloader to program in your application, refer to your DFU programmer's documentation. Atmel provides a free utility called FLIP which is USB AVR compatible, and an open source (Linux compatible) alternative exists called "dfu-programmer".

It's been a little less time since I got my MacBook Air - the 11" jobby. I am still loving it and my 15" MacBook Pro has not left the building in since I got it. So... what should I get? You might say something like "why get anything?". Well ever since the Sandy Bridge intel Macs came out I have had a craving. Big time. As you probably have surmised I prefer "little macs" hooked to big screens for most of my work so naturally I was looking at the super-duper new Sandy Bridge 15" MacBook Pro to replace my year and some months old 15" but... I swear it never leaves the house since the MacBook Air. Here is what I am ordering next week for my primary use machine while at home. Seems like it will give me great performance and TWO 27" screens.

title=Idempotent Queues With HornetQ (or: the 'Last Value Header') date=2010-05-04 type=post tags=blog status=published ~~~~~~
Often times, a message queue is used as a way to publish "events" to other services in the enterprise. The publish/subscribe architecture decouples clients from the senders and alleviates the publisher from specific knowledge of the consumers of the messages. This, plus the asynchronous nature of a message queue - the publisher does not block while clients consume the events - makes it ideal for publishing events to keep other systems aware of the state of a given system.
Now, let's establish the use case: we want to consume events in a very busy system. In our case, it's possible to receive multiple events. Or, perhaps in your system you've positioned the message queue as a way to deliver commands - "pings" - using the "command bus" pattern. It may - and quite often is - be acceptable to ignore duplicate requests in architectures like these. For example, a "command" message notifying a system that it can being processing a batch of data for the day only needs to be handled once per day, not 10 times, even if 10 different events are published. It'd be ghastly and inefficient to process the load 10x a day. What's required is some way to make message submission idempotent for certain messages - to make them indifferent to duplicate message submission.
Backstory: I've been playing with JBoss' HornetQ a lot recently. It's a
very fast message queue: it recently bested ActiveMQ in the
SpecJMS2007
benchmark by more than 300%!. It is able to perform these feats
because it uses a native, asynchronous IO layer on Linux centered
around the kernel's libaio
functionality.
On all other platforms, it's just gosh darned fast, regardless, but
doesn't benefit from the native code acceleration.
So, imagine my surprise when I found out that HornetQ supports something it calls a Last-Value Header - a well known message header that - when the value is duplicated by other messages - causes the submitted message to override the existing message: the latest message with a duplicate header wins.
Here's how code submission to the queue looks using Spring's JmsTemplate functionality:
this.jmsTemplate.send(this.destination, new MessageCreator() {
public Message createMessage(final Session session) throws JMSException {
TextMessage textMessage = session.createTextMessage( ... );
textMessage.setStringProperty("_HQ_LVQ_NAME",
someUniqueStringThatYouSpecify);
return textMessage;
}
});
So, it's often easy to find a business value that can be used to derive a semantically correct, unique key to identify duplicate events. Processing a customer's order with 3 items in the shopping cart at 12:30:30s PM? Build a key combining the 30 second window, the customer ID, the count of items, and the order ID. This provides a service-level mechanism to prevent nasty double submit issues, for example.
You need to enable this characteristic on the queue itself in the configuration files.
In HornetQ there are a few files under the
$HORNETQ/config/
folder that you need to be aware of to
configure HornetQ: hornrtq-jms.xml
,
hornetq-configuration.xml
, and
hornetq-users.xml
. In this scenario, we need to only
modify the hornetq-configuration.xml
.
For a queue configured in hornetq-jms.xml
<queue name="dupesQueue">
<entry name="/queue/dupesQueue"/>
<durable>true</durable>
</queue>
... you'll need to make the following changes to
hornetq-configuration.xml
:
<address-setting match="jms.queue.dupesQueue">
<last-value-queue>true</last-value-queue>
</address-setting>
Simple, right? So, go ahead, send all the messages you want - only one will remain (unless of course that message is consumed. This only guards against duplicate submissions assuming the messages haven't been delivered yet. Enjoy!

Global Preprocessors are filters that Jawr applies to resources during startup before the bundling process. In some cases, it is convenient to preprocess all the JS or CSS files before making the bundle process, because you need to gather information from all the files before making your bundling process.
Jawr provides one built-in global preprocessor, which handles the image sprite generation with smartsprites. Jawr uses a global preprocessor for the image sprite generation when using smartsprites, because this process requires to retrieve information from all the files before being able to generate the sprites.
You can create and use your own global preprocessor, so here is how to configure the filter chain for global preprocessing.
A global preprocessor will be only invoked once during application startup before the bundling and the post process phases. The point is to be able to make a treatment which need to be done on all the JS or CSS resources, before the bundling process.
For configuration purposes, every global preprocessor has a unique name key, which you use in a comma-separated property in the descriptor, for instance:
jawr.css.bundle.factory.global.preprocessors=smartsprites,myGlobalPreprocessor
In this example, the global preprocessors set for css resources are smartsprites and myGlobalPreprocessor, meaning that the smartsprites and th myGlobalPreprocessor global preprocessors will be processed for all css resources. The smartsprites global preprocessor will be executed before myGlobalPreprocessor.
You can also implement your own global preprocessor components (for js, css, or both) to perform any functionality not offered by the included one. To do that, you must create a class with a no-params constructor that implements the interface net.jawr.web.resource.bundle.global.preprocessor.GlobalPreprocessor. This interface defines a single method:
/** * Process the bundles for a type of resources. * * @param ctx the processing context * @param bundles the list of bundles to process. */ public void processBundles(GlobalPreprocessingContext ctx, List bundles);
The first parameter is an object which defines the global preprocessing context and also gives you acces to Jawr configuration plus other data which may be useful under certain circumstances.
The second parameter is the list of bundles defined in your configuration.
To use this global preprocessor in our application, we need to declare it in the properties configuration, by giving it a name and declaring the class so that Jawr may create an instance when starting up. The name you give to your global preprocessor can then be used to define the gobal factory properties, thus allowing you to create a chain that combines your global preprocessor with those of Jawr.
The name and class are defined by declaring a property in the form jawr.custom.global.preprocessor.[name].class=[class]. For example, the following configuration would add one custom global preprocessor named myGlobalPreprocessor and map to the css resources preprocessing chains:
jawr.custom.global.preprocessor.myGlobalPreprocessor.class=net.jawr.test.MyGlobalPreprocessor jawr.css.bundle.factory.global.preprocessors=myGlobalPreprocessor
Grails users will unfortunately need to pack their classes in a jar and add it to the lib folder of their application. The reason for this is a known flaw in the Grails classloading strategy that keeps plugins from accessing application classes.
The smartsprites global preprocessor will generate the CSS sprites from the smartsprites annotation from the CSS files. Check the tutorial on jawr image sprites for more info.

1.4 Factors and Groups
You often see terms like between-subject and within-subject What are they and how do they relate to experiment design?
One IV vs DV
Subjects are measured on DV and belongs to one of two groups as denoted by IV level value. In this example, IV, let’s say treatment
, has two levels: control and experiment. If there are more than 2 levels (e.g. subject belongs to one of three levels control, experiment 1, or experiment 2), then such experiment would still fall under “one IV” case.
In a table representation, the cell values are generally the average \(\overline{y}\) of the measured DV (where \(y\) is the DV). The subscripts distinguish which subject (\(i\)) and groups (\(j\)) the variable \(y_{ij}\) refers to.
- For example, for an experiment with \(n_1\) number of subjects in
Group 1
(\(j = 1\)) and \(n_2\) number of subjects inGroup 2
(\(j = 2\)),
there are \(\langle y_{1,1}, y_{2,1}, y_{3,1}, ..., y_{n_1, 1}\rangle\) measurements associated with subjects inGroup 1
, and
there are \(\langle y_{1,2}, y_{2,2}, y_{3,2}, ..., y_{n_2, 2}\rangle\) measurements associated with subjects inGroup 2
.
When it is obvious that first subscript (subject index) and second subscript (group index) is obviously distinguishable, the commas between the indices are omitted. When we aggregate over the subjects (as we are doing with averages), we often put a dot \(\bullet\) in place of the \(i\) as a placeholder.
| Control | Experiment | |
|---|---|---|
| DV | \(\overline{y}_{\bullet 1}\) | \(\overline{y}_{\bullet 2}\) |
You can also be more explicit and say \(\overline{y}_{\bullet,Control}\), \(\overline{y}_{\bullet,Teatment}\) instead of \(\overline{y}_{\bullet 1}\), \(\overline{y}_{\bullet 2}\), but writing out numbered index instead of full level name is more practical if it is unambiguous that what 1 and 2 refers to. The dot (\(\bullet\)) is also sometimes omitted if it is obvious to do so and if it is acceptable in certain field of study.
Two IVs with two levels vs DV
When we add another IV, we can apply the same logic as 1 IV case, except the rows in the table now represent IV levels. This is called factorial design.
| Control | Experiment | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| IV2 (Sex) | Male | \(\overline{y}_{11}\) | \(\overline{y}_{12}\) |
| Female | \(\overline{y}_{21}\) | \(\overline{y}_{22}\) |
With 2 IVs, there are three research questions (one for each IV and their interaction):
Does IV1 have an effect on the DV? (Not accounting for any other variables, such as IV2)
For example if DV is student’s GPA and IV1 is traditional vs novel teaching method, does the teaching method effect GPA?Does IV2 have an effect on the DV? (Not accounting for any other variables, such as IV1).
For example if DV is student’s GPA and IV2 is student’s sex, is student sex related to differences in GPA? Note that we do not use the wordeffect
here because student’s sex is demographic information about a student that researcher did not manipulate. Such variable is called ex post facto.
Such ex post facto research design and is considered to be a quasi-experimental design. This variable is measuring characteristic or trait about the subject that already existed prior to researcher’s intervention (Treatment
), and using groups from such variable to compare the differences in DV is “after the fact” research.Does effect IV1 have on DV depend on the value IV2? Conversely, does effect IV2 have on DV depend on the value of IV1?
Factors, Groups, and Between-Subject Design vs Within-Subject Design
Factor happens to be a synomym for IV when it takes a fixed number of values (levels). This term has a slightly deeper meaning, but let’s just simplify things and say factor variable is a variable that one of the possible categorical values.
We saw that IV with 2 levels can split our subjects into two groups. If the IV had 3 or mor possible levels, then we can obviously split into 3 or more groups. In experimental design. the number of levels do not matter as much as how many IVs we have.
Between-Subject Design: Experimental treatments are given to different groups of subject – i.e. no subject can receive more than one treatment at the same time.
In Teacher Rating Case Study, there is 1 IV with 2 conditions (instructor review) and 1 DV (professor rating). Students (subjects) were split into one of the two groups by IV / factor. Comparing the mean DV of one group to the mean DV of another group is effectively a comparison between (group of subjects in one condtion) vs (group of subjects in another condition).
Two conditions only vary by whether or not IV determined which group the subjects were assigned to. If there were no differences among subjects between groups, then we can interpret the IV directly effecting mean difference. If for some reason one group had particularly generous students who rated professors highly regardless, then we don’t know if the mean difference in professor rating is due to the effect of instructor review condition (IV) or because of generous students. If we randomly assigned which condition a student was exposed to, then we can try to limit accidentally putting all the generous students into one group. However, this does not guarantee that there will not be any differences between groups. There could be another factor unknown to the researcher that is creating differences between groups.Multi-factor Between-Subject Design: same thing as Between-Subject Design with multiple IVs.
Within-Subject Design: Unlike Between-Subject Design where a subject is exposed to only one of the levels for a factor (or unique combination of factors in Multi-factor Between Subject Design), each subject is exposed to all levels of a factor. This is done via applying each factor level to each subject in order. Obviously, this design is not possible for all types of factors. Sometimes once a treatment is applied, there’s no reasonable way of “removing” the treatment. Time between each treatment also comes into play here.
The order of application of factor level can also become confounding, so we counterbalance by applying factor levels in different order for different subjects. When we consider all the subjects, the number of times a specific order was applied should be same for all possible orders.
Because each subject is measured multiple times after different factor levels are applied, this design is often called “repeated measures” design. Within-Subject Design has an advantage that individual differences in subjects’ overall levels of performance are controlled. Meaning the effect of individual subject differences on DV are removed because each subject essentially serves as its own control (e.g. each subject received both control and treatment level. The difference in DV taken after each treatment can be attributed to the most recent factor, ignoring the baseline of other subjects).

Software limit switch configuration.
This structure may be used to pass software limit switch settings to an Amp object using the functions Amp::SetSoftLimits and Amp::GetSoftLimits
| uunit accel |
Software limit acceleration.
This parameter defines the acceleration value that will be used to stop the motor at the software limit position. Note that this parameter was added in amplifier firmware version 4.60. Before that version the older current based software limit processing was used.
If this parameter is set to zero (the default) then the software limits will act like virtual limit switches. If the motor position exceeds the limit position then the amplifier will refuse to output current in the limit direction.
| uunit macroEncoderCapture |
MACRO encoder caputure configuration.
Configures the MACRO amplifier's encoder caputure circuit. Only implemented on MACRO amplifiers.
| uunit motorPosWrap |
Motor position wrap value.
Actual motor position will wrap back to zero when this value is reached. Setting this value to zero disables thsi feature. (Units counts). This feature is only implemented on the 8367 hardware with fimware 0.42 or later
| uunit neg |
Negative limit position.
Any time the motors actual position is less then this value, a negative software limit condition will be in effect on the amplifier.
| uunit pos |
Positive limit position.
Any time the motors actual position is greater then this value, a positive software limit condition will be in effect on the amplifier.

When there are a large number of facet options, the Dynamic Facet can be used to replace the regular scrollable list with a text search, supporting dropdown typeahead. This is configurable to fallback to the standard scrollable list, when the number of items in the list falls beneath a certain threshold.
To use the Dynamic Facet, use the facet-dynamic
directive instead of the facet
directive. Set
the
facet-options
attribute with an object containing a title
attribute, and an options
property containing collection of objects that follow the interface for the facet-option
defined above.
The Dynamic Facet can be used in the same facet-container
as the standard facet
directive.
To configure the behaviour of the control, set the display-configuration
attribute, which expects an object
of the following format:
The maximum number of characters expected by this text area is defined by the max-length
directive.
The maximum number of lines the text input is allowed to grow to can be set using the max-lines
attribute. If
the number of lines exceeds this value then a scrollbar will appear.
To prevent the user from taking a new line using the return key set the disable-return
attribute to false.
The values presented in the dropdown can also be changed dynamically. This is optional behaviour, but useful if you wish
to perform additional server requests on demand. The function supplied to update-callback
will be triggered
every time the contents of the text input are modified. The function will be called with:
textInput
- the text value in the search control.optionList
- the array of options the control can filter from.The function must return:
optionList
- the array of options, with the contents modified, added or removed as required.Set the placeholder
attribute to a string property to set the placeholder text that will be shown in the text
search input control.
The Dynamic Facet also supports customization of the markup used for facet options (selected and unselected) and the content shown in the typeahead.
To customize the facet option, set the facet-option-template
property to the URL of a template. Any data available inside
each object within the options
array can be accessed using "data" as prefix (e.g. data.name
, data.count
).
To customize the typeahead results, set the facet-option-typeahead
attribute. Any data available inside each object within
the options
array can be accessed using "option" as prefix (e.g. option.name
, option.count
).
Below is an example for the use of this directive:


About me
I am an Applied Machine Learning Scientist in Amazon Music's machine learning team in Berlin. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Biostatistics Unit of the Medical Research Council at the University of Cambridge, working with
Sylvia Richardson. I completed a PhD in applied mathematics at the Center for research in economics and statistics (CREST), Paris supervised by Nicolas Chopin.
The topic was on high dimensional Bayesian computation, with a focus on improving Monte Carlo simulations for models with numerous parameters to be inferred.
From October 2017 to April 2018 I visited Pierre E. Jacob at the Department of Statistics at Harvard University.
I did my graduate studies in economics, mathematics and statistics under the double degree program of
Humboldt University Berlin and ENSAE ParisTech.
My research during PhD and postdoc focused on computational Bayesian methods such as Monte Carlo methods and approximate inference.
At Amazon Music I work on recommender systems such as learning-to-rank, contextual bandits and off-policy learning. I am also interested in causal inference and online experimentation.

Jenkins understands analysis reports of the following duplicate code detection tools:
When this option is configured Jenkins shows the analysis results in different views: historical result trend, module and package statistics, web UI for viewing analysis reports and warnings, and so on.You need to set up your build to run the duplicate code checker in order to use this feature - this Jenkins plug-in does not perform the actual analysis! This plug-in is not invoked for failed builds, it is only called for stable or unstable builds (i.e., a build with failed tests).

There is support for most functions in the C math for the fixed-point negatable class. These include elementary transcendental functions, such as trigonometric functions, exponential functions, power functions, logarithmic functions, hyperbolic trigonometric functions, and various other mathematical functions.
There is also support for certain non-standard functions such as fixed_next
, fixed_prior
,
fixed_advance
and fixed_distance
that are similar to same-named
functions in Boost.Math. These functions are also useful for exact round-tripping
and serialization-deserialization.
As long as the math functions are in the same namespace as the classes then unqualified calls will still work (via Argument Dependent Lookup (ADL)).
The user can simply call sqrt(negatable)
without requiring any namespace decoration.
In this way, the <cmath>
functions of the negatable
class work just like those for built-in types in the C/C++-language headers
<math.h>
and <cmath>
.
So the user can just write:
fixed_point_type x(42); sqrt(x);
Elementary transcendental functions have been implemented in three precision ranges :
The first precision range with (-resolution <=
11)
is intended for optimized calculations with tiny 16-bit fixed-point negatable
numbers. The elementary transcendental functions in this precision range
have been specifically optimized for the type negatable<4,
-11>
. The elementary transcendental functions
in this precision range will also work properly with other fixed-point splits
as long as (-resolution)
remains 11 or less.
The second precision range with (-resolution >
11) && (-resolution <=
24)
is intended for optimized calculations with 32-bit negatable numbers. The
elementary transcendental functions in this precision range have been optimized
for the type negatable<7, -24>
. This
type has approximately the same number of fractional digits as single-precision
floating-point in IEEE-754. The elementary transcendental functions in this
precision range will also work properly with other fixed-point splits as
long as (-resolution)
remains 24 or less.
The third range is for larger negatable numbers (-resolution >
24)
and extends the range of the functions to negatable types built from both
wide built-in types as well as multiple-precision back-ends. This extends
the fixed-point negatable <cmath>
functions well beyond the range of built-in types to a precision limited
only by the underlying range of the multiple-precision back-end itself.
Elementary transcendental functions have been implemented with numerous polynomial approximations and Pade-type approximations in combination with argument reduction schemes in the smaller two precision ranges. In the larger precision range, various calculation methods are used, in particular, Taylor series expansion and Newton-Raphson iteration.
Note that argument reduction necessarily results in loss of precision because
a reduction in range bits can not compensated by increasing the resolution
in a fixed-point type, as the range and resolution are fixed compile-time
parameters (tamplate arguments). Consider, for example, the square root function.
In the implementation of square root, the argument is first reduced to to
a value in the range [1/2, 1) and the square root is
subsequently calculated. When calculating sqrt(101)
in negatable<7, -24>
, for
example, the argument reduction results in a loss of approximately 6-7 bits
of precision.

React Modals -- Scalable? Customizable? Neat Components?
24 Feb 2017Why should you care?
If you haven’t tried to implement modals in React, you wouldn’t understand the context of this blog. If you had, there is a chance you have wandered into some random novice JS developer’s blog (I’m talking about this one) because, quite frankly… there isn’t a whole lot of guidance re: modals in react. Of course, this isn’t to say that there aren’t ANY good resources on the subject out there… I certainly wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now without them. However, I found their implementations confusing (for a beginner like myself), conflicting, and/or vague.
BUT! Here is a collection of a few gems that I have found – where the rest of my blog is based heavily upon:
- StackOverflow: Dan Abramov’s answer on how to implement modals with redux
- Scalable Modals with React and Redux
- Modals in React
- Youtube: [React] Modals in React and Redux Apps
I recommend checking out those links – but you don’t have to.
It is mainly to prove a point… modals in React are a pain to implement… even if you use a library like react-modal
(sometimes there is too much abstraction).
Basics - What are modals?
In layman’s terms, modals are simply pop-up messages that you often see being used for Login/Registration, TOS, warning, etc.
For example:
You’ve definitely seen these before and if you are anything like me, you might’ve even tried to implement one in a website.
In short, modals are simply “hacky” HTML/CSS views combined with some event-handlers.
I write “hacky” in quotes because messing around with HTML and CSS seems like something we shouldn’t do much of in React. But with modals, it’s unavoidable. If you hate CSS, turn around and forget about modals altogether before it’s too late. But remember, you will never have a cool login pop-up suited to your design tastes.   The magic is that the website you were just on does not go away! You can still see the page behind the pop-up!
There are three major HTML elements rendered when the modal pops up:
- An Overlay - typically a

element with a class that creates a “shadow” effect over the document while the modal is onscreen. - A Content Box - another

element with a class that provides the position context for the dialog/modal box (#3). - A Dialog/Modal Box - yet another

element with a class that resizes itself to the content of the modal.Just think of these as three layers, one on top of another.
That’s it! That’s the skeleton of a basic modal. However, the real challenge is how to make a re-usable modal with customizable design inside your React application.
Why Something Seemingly Simple Becomes Hard With React
If you are anything like me, checking out the links above might have led to more confusion.
Here is what I want my modal to do (and what you probably want as well!):
- Reusable - I don’t want to create the HTML/CSS for every modal I put into my app. Who does?
- Scalable - I want my modals to be rendered from a centralized location for organization purposes.
- Redux-ified - I want to connect my modal to my redux store because I may want to pass props down.
- Customizable - I don’t want all my modals to look the same.
We will take these one-by-one below. Whee!
1. Reusable - make a default Modal component!
You could import in a nice package like react-modal
to do this for you, but you won’t have as much control over its customization and/or its connection to the redux store. But it’s up to you!
There is a lot of boilerplate that you can just copy and paste, but I will explain why the boilerplate is important!
- You will need to create a class for your default Modal component.
The rendered portion of the default Modal component is what I mentioned earlier, namely the three HTML elements (Overlay, Content Box, Dialog Box) and their CSS classes that render the Modal.
You can ignore the methods and style props being passed through the

elements for now.
- You will need to give default CSS classes to the elements. The corresponding CSS is more boilerplate as well (presumably inserted into your custom css file):
The Overlay class has a high z-index that places itself over the current page. It covers the entirety of the page and its color is set to black with the opacity set to .65. Obviously, you could change that if you wish.
The Content Box class has an even higher z-index placed on top of the overlay. It also covers the page and it provides positioning context for its child Dialog Box.
The Dialog Box class, as a child to the Content Box, has its position relative to the Content Box. Anything that goes inside the Dialog Box (your actual modal content), will resize the Dialog Box accordingly.
- Last but not least, the Modal methods! (more boilerplate)
These methods allow user input to create expected default actions.
- listenKeyboard “listens” to the user keyboard to see if they have pressed “ESC” while the modal is open. If so, the modal closes.
- onOverlayClick means that if you click on the overlay (outside the Modal Dialog Box), it will close the modal (an expected outcome).
- onDialogClick simply prevents the closing of the modal when you click within the Dialog Box (because it will close when you click the Overlay that covers the whole page at a lower z-index). If this confuses you, try disabling it and testing the modal – you will see why this is necessary!
These methods are passed through the respective

s to give you the… Full Modal Experience. We still haven’t touched on the customized styles (which we will touch upon last).
Now, you have created your default Modal component! You can now import this modal anywhere in your App for use!
2. Scalable - create a ModalRoot container
If your website anticipates more than a single kind of modal (e.g., Login Modal, Warning Modal, Registration Modal, Terms of Services Modal, etc.), it may be wise to separate the presentational modal component from a container that handles which presentational component ought to be rendered.
The following code will do just that!
At first glance, this may be a bit confusing, but we will take it step by step. It is also difficult to read and understand this snippet without the proper context (e.g., what is being passed in, where are all these things located).
Things to note:
- We are importing all the unique modal components into this container! (e.g., LoginModal, WarningModal, etc.)
- We have constants imported in for all the different modal types because this Modal Container is connected to the store and will be receiving a prop as
props.modalType
(viamapStateToProps
) to figure out which modal to render. - The MODAL_COMPONENTS object maps each modal component to their respective modalType (from the redux store).
- Lastly, the ModalContainer will receive
props
and checks if the store has a specific modalType in mind to be rendered; if no modalType is set in the store, nothing is rendered from the container. However, if there IS a modalType set on the store, then the ModalContainer will check the MODAL_COMPONENTS object, grab the corresponding modal and render that out.
This way, you have a predictable location (container) from which all your different modals will be rendered!
3. Redux-ified - connect it to the store as a child of the App component
First things first, we need to somehow connect this ModalContainer to someplace so that it will be rendered on our HTML! Right now, the ModalContainer and its soon-to-be-rendered Modal Components are out in limbo. Where should we anchor it?
There is a whole debate on where best to do this. But I’ll cut to the chase – it is best here.
Why? Because it avoids the messyness of having to pull in another Provider
from react-redux
and ReactDom.render
to connect to the store and attaching a new element directly to the index.html
file. Don’t understand that? It really doesn’t matter because you don’t need to!
Anyways, if you look at the image above, the App component is the parent to the ModalContainer. The App component is the parent component to all other components, as seen below:
I am using react-router
here.
Next, all the routes are connected to the redux store via the Provider
(react-redux) as follows:
Lastly, we have to create some actions and a reducer to handle those actions in the store!
There are only two must-have actions you have to set up for your modals:
I am using thunk middleware for my redux store (but you don’t need it, or have to know anything about it… I’m just using it for my app).
-
SHOW_MODAL - takes in a modalType to set the modalType in the store.
-
HIDE_MODAL - simply an action that will set the modalType to
null
in the store.
Here we see the reducer for the modals.
Initially, the store’s modalType is set to null
. However, once an showModal action is dispatched from wherever in your app (with the desired modalType), it will set the store’s modalType to the desired modal. This will then trigger the mapStateToProps
in our ModalContainer (connected to the redux store via the Provider
as a child of the App component) and now we have props.modalType
set to the desired modal component. As a result, ModalContainer will render that desired Modal component!
The hideModal is also dispatched from your app and will set the store’s modalType back to null
(hiding the modal again).
Almost done!
Bringing it all together… almost!
Bringing this together involves two things (1) creating your presentational modal component and (2) triggering the showModal action somewhere in our app (think: a Login button)!
1. Basic Login Modal Component
There a few important things to note here:
- First, we are importing in the default Modal component we created in Step 1 of this blog.
- Second, we have an onClose method defined here. Remember earlier I said this has to be passed in as a prop to the default Modal component for it to trigger the different methods to exit out of the modal (e.g., onOverlayClick). It is inside this onClose method that we will pass in our hideModal action-creator to set the store’s modalType to
null
.
2. Login Button!
- NavBar Presentational Component
Here we see a very basic navigation bar for our app. It only contains a single LOGIN button. But as you can see, the button has a showLoginMenu method (passed down from the container) that will be triggered once the button is clicked.
- NavBar Container Component
Here, we see how the presentational component receives the showLoginMenu method. We imported the loadModal action-creator and will invoke it within the showLoginMenu method inside the NavBar Container with the LOGIN_MODAL modalType!
This is very important. We are saying that once the button is clicked in our presentational component, it will set the store’s modalType to LOGIN_MODAL
and will trigger the ModalContainer to render the LoginModal via const SpecificModal = MODAL_COMPONENTS[props.modalType]
!
 If you click outside the modal or press ‘ESC’ it exits the modal too! Cool!
But what if you want to make some changes to the default Modal? What if you want it positioned differently, or with a different background?
4. Customizable - pass in custom styles to the default Modal component to overwrite the default CSS
This is a simple solution but is my way of handling customization for an otherwise boring default Modal.
It harnesses React’s principles of allowing you to pass down almost anything as a prop to the component and the style
property inside a component that can overwrite any default CSS.
All we have to do is add a few lines to our default Modal component:
Those three lines check if an overlayStyle, contentStyle, dialogStyle prop has been sent to the default Modal component. If so, it will overwrite any conflicting style in the corresponding div
element.
For example:
Now we can first SET dialogStyle in our LoginModal component; here, setting our default Modal Component’s Dialog Box element’s backgroundColor: black
.
Then, we can pass dialogStyle down as a prop to the default Modal Component! The Modal Component will receive the prop, and overwrite the default backgroundColor
of our Dialog Box!
Hence, we get customization without losing reusability! You don’t need to create a whole new Modal Component with its default methods like onOverlayClick. Instead, only deal with the CSS.
Sidenote: There may be detractors from this way of customizing our modals. It feels very hacky to set our custom styles this way. However, as I said above, react modals feel hacky altogether. It involves a lot of CSS manipulation to get what you want. Because React allows its developers to pass style in as a prop (which it handles and renders), it seems like a good compromise between what would otherwise be a boring one-style modal (scalable, but not customizable) and a highly-customizable modal (customizable, but not very scalable).
In Conclusion
Modals are very fun to use and makes websites feel seamless. However, as we have explored above, the implementation isn’t quite so seamless. However, this is primarily because we were concerned with making our modals in our app scalable and customizable using redux! There is so little guidance on this specific topic that I felt the need to air out my findings and my solutions to a rather complex problem.
I must give credit to the links I referenced above – particularly Mike Vercoelen’s post: Scalable Modals with React and Redux. Much of my code is copy-and-pasted from his (apart from how we handled the CSS). Hopefully my detailed overview was as helpful as it has been verbose.
Good luck!

The array of parameters as an associative array in the form key => value:
-
$parameters["captions"] - the associative array of column captions. If
it is not specified, the table is rendered without captions.
-
$parameters["col_class_from_keys"] - if it is specified and set to true,
the keys of the captions are used as the class names.
-
$parameters["no_escape_html"] - if it is specified and set to true,
the values of the data array are not escaped and passed as is. It is useful
when html codes of other elements are passed. Per default, the table data
is escaped for html.
-
$parameters["formatter"] - this function is used for the value formatting
if specified. It is called for evelry cell of the table. The signature of
this function is:
function ($rownum, $colnum, $colname, $val) : string;
-
$rownum - the row number.
-
$colnum - the colnum number.
-
$colname - the column name if the $parameters["captions"] are provided.
The keys of the cpation array are used. If the $parameters["captions"]
are not provided, $colname is equal to $colnum.
-
$val - original value of the table cell.
If necessary, format the original value and return it. Otherwise,
return the original value without changes.
Any other attributes may be specified.
Example:
$rows = [
["name" => "DB design", "employee" => "Alex", ... ],
["name" => "Mask implementation", "employee" => "Boris", ... ],
["name" => "Validation", "employee" => "Alex", ... ],
["name" => "Settings", "employee" => "Boris", ... ],
["name" => "About", "employee" => "Robert", ... ],
["name" => "Initialization", "employee" => "Alon", ... ]
];
$captions = [
"name" => "Task name",
"employee" => "Employee",
"time_estimation" => "Time estimation",
"deadline" => "Deadline",
"comments" => "Conmments"
];
$formatter = function ($rownum, $colnum, $colname, $val) {
if($colname == "time_estimation") return format_number($val, 2);
if($colname == "deadline") return date("Y-m-d H:i", $val);
return $val;
};
table($rows,
["captions" => $captions,
"class" => "my_table",
"style" => "background-color: #dddddd",
"col_class_from_keys" => true,
"no_escape_html" => false,
"formatter" => $formatter

My Favorite Travel Quotes
I’ll be the first to admit: thinking of instagram captions is really hard. How many times can you say ‘Getting my vitamin sea’ before your followers start rolling their eyes? Answer: less than once. When I can’t think of a witty caption (which is more often than not), I tend to go with a travel quote and I thought you guys might find them helpful too!
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
- Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.”
- Isabelle Eberhardt, The Nomad: The Diaries of Isabelle Eberhardt
“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
- Roman Payne
“I was an adventurer, but she was not an adventuress. She was a ‘wanderess.’ Thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences - whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her.”
- Roman Payne, The Wanderess
“Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.”
- Judith Thurman
“Maybe you had to leave in order to miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
- Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care
“They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored. But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for me. I want to do things– I want to walk the rain-soaked streets of London, and drink mint tea in Casablanca. I want to wander the wastelands of the Gobi desert and see a yak. I think my life’s ambition is to see a yak. I want to bargain for trinkets in an Arab market in some distant, dusty land. There’s so much. But, most of all, I want to do things that will mean something.”
- Lisa Ann Sandell, A Map of the Known World
There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.”
- Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles; in search for The Great Perhaps
Gradually the magic of the island settled over us as gently and clingingly as pollen.”
- Gerald Durrell, My Family and Other Animals

Inline and inline-block are both values of the display property. This specifies how exactly is an element is displayed. Most elements in html are displayed as either inline, inline-block or block by default. But these are able to be easily changed with the property display and then with your chosen value of inline and inline-block, among others. I'll explain what each of them are exactly and give examples below.
display: inline;
The element doesn’t start on a new line and will only occupy just the width it requires. You can’t set the width or height values.
The example below shows how the element fits inline with the flow of the text aswell as how it doesn’t take up any extra space and the text can continue again on the same line
display: block;
Block is another common display value so I thought it would be worth it to include it in this. The element will start on a new line and occupy the full width available and you can set width and height values.
The example below shows how the element doesn’t fit inline with the flow of the text aswell as how it takes up a block of a few extra lines before the text can continue again.
display: inline-block;
Well inline-block, like it's name, is both the above display types. It’s displayed exactly like the inline display, where it doesn’t start on a new line. But, like the block display, you can set the width and height values.
The example below shows how the element fits inline with the flow of the text aswell as how it takes up a block of a few extra lines before the text continues again.


Rails for Zombies Is Fun
Note: Code School provides me a referral fee if folks sign up through some links in this post. Even without this fee, I would recommend their service.
I don’t like webinars on the face of it, though perhaps I am judging a book by its cover. My experience with them is that a webinar will be a series of videos where someone captures their screen and drones narration while they perform some sort of boring task in whatever technology they are trying to demonstrate. Which, for me at least, isn’t a great way to learn something.
Recently, I tried Rails for Zombies recently and I enjoyed it. At first glance, Rails for Zombies appears to be a webinar, but it is really a well produced course. The course is led by Gregg Pollack, and all of the slides used are available as a PDF. After each video there is a level—a short quiz with a series of challenges which tests your knowledge of the material. I know I am making progress with these small, well-defined challenges. The mix of questions is pretty good, with some being pretty easy to grok, while others require a few minutes of reviewing the material.
This course is thrown together for free by Code School, which has several courses on Ruby, JQuery, HTML5 and CSS3, as well as the Rails course. Once you’ve completed the Rails for Zombies course they give you a five dollar credit to “enroll” in the school, at a cost of 25$ per month. Which is a bargain if you consider the courses individually are priced at 55$ apiece.1
I had such a good time using the free version of Rails for Zombies that I have signed up for Code School and I am working on the second attack Rails for Zombies 2. These courses are a fun and engaging way to learn (or review) the basics of creating webapps in a Rails environment, and I’m going to see how much I can get done in the next month, then likely freeze my subscription. I like Code School a lot, but they’re currently only putting out a course a month, and I’m currently trying to keep my bills at a minimum.
-
I recognize this cost comparison is actually good marketing. Anyone who considers the monthly charge or the single-time fee will sign on for the subscription, and subscription services left uncanceled are more profitable than the purchase of products from time to time. ↩

For the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a chunky-jammy mixture. Add salt with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk, and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolkds. Set mixture in teh fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream amchine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions, i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/- 10 minutes. Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.


Networking
TinyCLR OS Networking support provides socket and HTTP APIs that should be familiar to any .NET developer. Take a look at the .NET docs for samples. The implementation can be found in the GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Networking
and GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Networking.Http
libraries.
A low-level hardware-specific driver needs to be implemented.
STMicroelectronics SPWF045x
A reference implementation is available today for STMicroelectronics SPWF04Sx secure WiFi module. See the SPWF04Sx page for details.
Espressif ESP32 and ESP8266
These low-cost WiFi modules have AT command firmware option. The SPWF045x driver can be used as a reference for developing drivers.
Ethernet
Supporting built-in Ethernet or the use of SPI-based ENC28J60 require TinyCLR to host is own TCP/IP and TLS stacks. This is currently still in development. Another option is to use a C# TCP/IP implementation, such us mIP. Or use a chip with built in TCP/IP, like Wiznet W5500.
Mobile Modems
Most mobile modems expose AT serial commands for an easy network access. They simply become a serial-to-mobile gateway. Some modems expose AT commands for socket handling, which can be used in an interface driver for TinyCLR networking support, similar to the SPWF045x drivers.
Redpine RS9110
Customers coming from older NETMF designs may have utilized Redpine RS9110 WiFi modules. Redpine has discontinued this product and we do not have plans to supporting it in TinyCLR. Also, due to an NDA with Redpine, we are unable to provide an open driver for it.


A simple caching node that works with uibuilder.
See Documentation: Using the cache node for more detail.
Inputs
Any msg can be sent into the node.
In addition, the node recognises uibuilder control messages for cache replay and cache clear.
See Documentation: pre-defined messages
for the structure of those messages.
Outputs
Any non-uibuilder-control message is passed to the output.
If the node receives a REPLAY or "client connect" (where the connections count is zero) control message, all of the cached messages are sent to the output.
Upon replay, the output messages will have the socket id of the control message (if present) added
so that the replayed messages are sent to the correct client. Any socket id saved in the cached messages
is ignored.
Upon replay, the output messages will also get a _uib.cache
property added with a value of "REPLAY".
This can be used in your front-end code if you need to differentiate between original and replayed messages.
If the node receives a CLEAR control message, all of the cached messages are deleted and nothing is sent to the output.
Node Settings
- Cache by string
-
Enter an incoming message property to group cached entries by.
When choosing a property to group by, be mindful of the number of messages
that may end up in the cache. If too many large messages are cached, Node-RED WILL crash.
The default entry is "topic".
- Cache individually? boolean
-
If selected, the "Cache by" field will be hidden. All messages will be
cached as a single group.
- Only replay cache when client is really new boolean
-
If selected, when a "client connect" control message is received, the cache will only
be sent if
msg.connections
is zero. That indicates that the client connection
is actually a new one and node a reconnection. This is now the default as it reduces the number
of times the cache is sent and does not send if the client is simply waking up (when it doesn't need the cache.)
- # messages integer
-
The maximum number of messages per group that will be cached.
Once the max number is reached, the oldest messages will be dropped.
If you change this number and re-deploy, the node will automatically trim
the number of messages cached.
You can use a number of zero to allow an infinite number of cached entries,
however, you need to take great care in that case not to exceede the available
memory, the node will not check for you.
The default number is one. This means that the last recorded message for each group
will be replayed which is generally the expected result.
- Use Store Drop-down
-
The drop-down is pre-populated with the
contextStorage
modules you define in settings.js
.
You can use this to choose a persistent context store if desired so that the cache survives system restarts.
If you change this value, you may need to manually delete the old version of the node context variable to avoid confusion.
Select the node, view the Context Data side-panel, refresh the entries and delete the appropriate uib_cache
entry.
- Store Type Drop-down
-
One of "Node", "Flow", or "Global".
Take care if using "Flow" or "Global" since other nodes and flow might make changes to the cache.
"Node" is the default and should usually be used since there can be no name clashes or external influence.
- Variable string
-
Default: "uib_cache". This is the store variable name that will be used.
Take care if using flow/global stores and multiple cache nodes since a name clash will result in the same cache being used.
- Name string
- A short description shown in the admin interface.
NOTE that there is an example flow in the examples library that demonstrates the use of this node.
Use the Editor's menu, import, Examples, node-red-contrib-uibuilder and import the uib-cache-test
example.

GROSSE POINTE BLANK A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
*** (out of 4) GROSSE POINTE BLANK is a concept-driven movie with just a single gimmick: that hired killers are "normal" people outside of work. Surprisingly, it works well.
John Cusack plays Martin Q. Blank, a professional killer. He is very businesslike: he has clients, agreements, a secretary, appointments, expenses, and a therapist. If one didn't know that his specialty was murder, he could be a real estate agent.
Lately, his work has been getting him down, so his secretary (Joan Cusack, John's sister) suggests that he attend his 10-year high school reunion. He eventually agrees to go back home for the weekend and see all the old faces. He hopes to see one face in particular.
Ten years ago, Martin stood up Debi (Minnie Driver) on prom night. He's been thinking about her all these years and hopes to make amends with her. He's even willing to give up his career for her, if she'll let him. He finds her working at the local radio station, single, and willing to talk . . . .
With this type of concept movie, the screenwriter(s) must be careful not to tell the same joke too many times. Many of the jokes are Martin talking about the pressures of his job like everyone else does, but the screenwriters (Tom Jankiewicz, D.V. DeVincentis, Steve Pink, and John Cusack) keep the jokes fresh and funny.
It is inspired comedy to make Martin a hired killer. I was reminded of a comedy called THE DREAM TEAM, about a group of inmates from a mental institution. That movie was funny, but some critics thought it unfairly stereotyped mental patients. It was the wrong group to portray, so they said. By making Martin an assassin, the movie can take all sorts of liberties with Martin's profession without worrying about offending the assassins of the world. And also, it's a funny idea.
As a counterexample, there is a therapist in this movie, lightly played by Alan Arkin. There are some jokes involving psychobabble between therapist and patient. Though better than usual (compare THAT OLD FEELING, for example), these jokes border on condescending. In order for the therapist's dialog to be funny, he has to be a caricature, a stereotype. Nobody complains about the stereotype when the character is a professional killer.
In spite of having a little too much screen time, Arkin was funny as the therapist. Both Cusacks were good in their roles. Dan Aykroyd was funny, if unmemorable. Minnie Driver was okay as Debi, but her role was a little shallow.
Debi serves as the object of another character's desire. In Chasing Amy, the female lead had an identity of her own. She wasn't just "the love interest." In GROSSE POINTE BLANK, Debi is just the love interest. She is a little more fun than most, but she's still mostly an object.
The movie's worst flaw is its ending -- not the outcome of events, but the specific events that take place.  Near the end there are two episodes of bloody violence. The first episode is treated as black comedy, and it SORT OF fits into the movie. But the last episode introduces a level of serious violence that not only doesn't fit with the rest of the movie, it detracts from it.
If I hadn't liked this movie, I would have said that it was just an excuse for an 80s soundtrack, (which it was). But the movie was more than just a soundtrack, and it was quite entertaining. It's a bit of fluff, but it's a lot of fun.

for loops in Bash can be used in several ways:
- iterating between two integers, $a$ and $b$
- iterating between two integers, $a$ and $b$, and incrementing by $c$ each time
- iterating through the elements of an array, etc.
Your task is to use for loops to display only odd natural numbers from $1$ to $99$.

Microsoft Windows Officially Broken: " It has now set up computers to reject bug-laden code automatically. The new Vista will be simple. Bells and whistles will hopefully come later - including WinFS."
Is it me, or does this sound like more of an Agile approach to software development? Anyone know more?


Install CouchDB from Source - Debian, Ubuntu
Difficulty: 4
Time: 30 minutes
CouchDB is a document-oriented, NoSQL database that uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. In CouchDB, each database is a collection of independent documents. Each document keeps its own data and self-contained schema. Multiple database may be accessed by an application, with one stored on mobile, and the other on server. Revision information is stored in document metadata, which is required to merge changes that occur while the databases were disconnected.
This articles will help you install CouchDB from source in Ubuntu and Debian.
You need access to sudo privileges to complete these steps.
Install dependencies
Prepare your machine to install CouchDB.
- Update the packages.
$ sudo apt-get udpate
- Install the tools to compile CouchDB.
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

erlang
and other dependencies, use the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install -y erlang-base erlang-dev erlang-nox erlang-eunit
- Install the additional required libraries.
$ sudo apt-get install -y libmozjs185-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool
Fetch the source
- Download the copy of source. Go to the directory where your code will reside.
$ cd /usr/local/src
- Fetch source using the following command:
$ sudo curl -O http://apache.mirrors.tds.net/couchdb/source/1.6.1/apache-couchdb-1.6.1.tar.gz
- Extract the files.
$ sudo tar xvzf apache-couchdb-1.6.1.tar.gz
- Change directory to the one we just expanded.
$ cd apache-couchdb-1.6.1.tar.gz
Configure and install the source code
Finalize the installation
- CouchDB runs as user
Couchdb
, so create a new user with following command:
$ sudo adduser --disabled-login --disabled-password --no-create-home couchdb
- It will ask you for

, Room Number
, etc. You can skip these question. Give rights to the new user you created on the CouchDB files.
$ sudo chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/log/couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb /usr/local/var/run/couchdb
- Install the CouchDB as service and allow it to run on boot.
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb /etc/init.d
$ sudo update-rc.d couchdb defaults
- Run the CouchDB service.
$ sudo service couchdb start
