Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another’s code; too little and expressiveness is endangered. - Guido van Rossum
This freedom that Guido talks about is part of what makes Python so popular. That popularity, among other, is what attracts more and more developers to use the language - eventually leading to some really amazing open source projects.
I usually find myself project hunting on GitHub once a day. Throughout this article, I will try to cover 10 wonderful packages that you may or may not be familiar with. I will start from the less trendy and end up with… well, Flask.
This is a really awesome package I regularly use in my projects. It describes itself as “a library which aims to bring enjoyable logging in Python”. This package just lets you easily configure your logs out of the box.
All you have to do after installing is to import the module:
from loguru import logger
And you’re free to use it out of the box:
logger.debug("Hello, cool debugger")
The documentation is good and there are many customization options.
A variety of interesting methods that could sometimes come very useful,
such as peekable
:
>>> p = peekable(['a', 'b'])>>> p.peek()'a'>>> next(p)'a'
or chunked
:
>>> list(chunked([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3))[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
monkeytype run myscript.py
This package automatically generates type annotations for you, either in a stub file or in the source code itself, by collecting runtime types. Right, Python doesn’t enforce you to use annotations — but I believe they are very important for readability of the code (and sometimes for avoiding errors), which is also why there are 2 more packages in this list that are handling type annotations :)
Exciting new package coming from Microsoft. The inital commit was just 17 days ago! This package is the competitor of Mypy (also on this list). To be honest, I haven’t yet had the chance to use it, but I definitely plan to. I currently use mypy as a type checker, but I’ll give this one a try!
async
/await
syntax for
requests
This is a new package I discovered the other day on GitHub, and it seems
pretty promising. We all know the
requests package,
that lets us easily handle HTTP requests in our code. Well, this package
implements async
and await
words for these
requests:
import requests_async as requestsresponse = await requests.get('https://example.org')print(response.status_code)print(response.text)
Pretty cool right?
Those of you who have used cURL before, must know it’s not that fun. Having to remember the parameters names, making sure your data is encapsulated… Well, HTTPie aims to make this much easier. Here’s one of their examples, of submitting form data:
http -f POST example.org hello=World
When I start a new project, I always create a new
virtualenv
and install some basic packages with
pip
. I then need to save these packages names in a file, be
it setup.py
or requirements.txt
. Those of you
who have worked with npm
, know it’s much simpler there. All
you need to do is write npm —save
and the package name is
saved in your package.json
. That’s why I first created
pypkgfreeze, a
simple package to “freeze” the versions of your currently used
pip
packages into setup.py
.
Anyway, pipenv is an interesting solution that aims to merge the two worlds - They describe it best in their repo page:
It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, as
well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile
as you
install/uninstall packages. It also generates the ever-important
Pipfile.lock
, which is used to produce deterministic builds.
You can try it out here.
As I said before, this is the package I currently use as my standard static type checker. It helps me keep my code readable and elegant (I think).
I have tried many Python formatters, and black
is clearly my
favourite. The syntax looks neat, and the command line runs quick and can
either check the files or actually edit them - very useful for CI/CD. You
can even try it
here!


Written by altbdoor, 2014
Before developing this HTML framework as my final year project, I have worked with a great team of friends to develop a handful of websites and web applications. Some of them were successful, some were not. Throughout the journey, I gathered a lot of experience, both good and bad. Based on this experience of a year or so, I worked on this framework.
Different people have different opinion on what makes a good web, good. Similarly, I have my own perspectives and views, bent and shaped over the years I spent on Notepad++ and Mozilla Firefox. Of course, there are a number of people who have influenced me as well, such as Nicolas Gallagher and Aaron Swartz, to name a few.
While developing this framework, I followed a few basic rules which were made as I move forward.
This is one of the main reasons why I made this framework. I have had my fair share of experience with a number of frameworks. Most of the time, styles are directly applied to elements. Want to use the default <input type="button">
? Nope. Its already styled to death. What about an innocent <p>
? Nope, that margins done rigged too.
Frameworks provide an array of features, but sometimes too many, to a point where it starts to kill customizability. When it becomes difficult to customize, developers tend to stick to the available options (because it just werks TM), and ended up farming a bunch of same looking websites.
And then developers get blamed for not being creative.
What is important here is the freedom to choose. Frameworks should provide an array of features, but not force them on the developers. The learning curve will be much greater than that of one that does not, but in turn, developers are able to get the desired output. In addition, while going through the curves, developers may be able to pick up a thing or two, and not kept in the dark on how those magical arrows appear on dropdown boxes.
That is why I left many, if not all basic elements unstyled. I provide some basic styles, but developers are free to opt out.
Inadvertently, if the code base is customizable, it becomes reusable. Since minor changes could make the code produce different output, the code base can then be used on different projects for different purposes. That is one of the main aims of this project, noticable with the extensive number of classes used. Classes like .text-center
can be reused on nearly all projects.
Yes, Internet Explorer (IE) is getting better as we speak. However, the legacy that IE has left behind is certainly one to be afraid of. Asterisk hacks, progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha
, weird standards out of nowhere, are just some of the abominations developed by IE. Now as much as developers want to stray out of IE, it still has a pretty large share of the Internet market.
Therefore, this framework only supports IE 8 and above. This is still a far throw from sending a large YOU
message to IE users (and IE), but I suppose IE 8 is decent enough for supporting box-sizing
.
Therefore, it is wise to catch the old IE versions with a JavaScript feature detection, and send them to a better place for you and for me.
Out there in the vast seas of Internet, plugins are a dime for dozen. From lightboxes to string compression, its been done before by many established developers. Some of the codes are available under permissive licenses, which allow developers to utilize it for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
However, not all plugins work nice. Some are last updated in the 1990s, some are not playing nice with other plugins and some are just not working at all.  Hence, do not redesign the whole wheel. Just the rims, maybe.
Certain default stylesheets are there for a good reason. The simplest example would be input outlines, which are abused to death with most frameworks. Mozilla Firefox have them in a dotted outline after clicking, while Google Chrome opted for a blue shadow on focus.
I do not tamper with most of the default stylesheets for two reasons. One, because these browsers have implemented them for a good reason. The design decisions would most probably be backed by a standard or an internal research. Two, because it allows developers to style them on their own.
I do, however, utilize Normalize.CSS, as it prevents magical margins and paddings from appearing in stylesheets.
With these in mind, this framework may not be right for everyone out there. As a Malay proverb goes...
Banyak udang, banyak garam
Banyak orang, banyak ragam
...which roughly translates to how different people have different preferences.
Regardless, I thank you for your time, reading through all this. At least now it gives you at least one reason to not use this framework.

This is a fairly major update with a long list of changes since the previous public preview release.
I suffered a few set backs over the last couple of months (multiple hardware failures plus some personal circumstances beyond my control) but I hope to catch up and get back to where I wanted to be on the original roadmap.

The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it.

Summary
Headings organize content on a section of a web pagetext, images, application controls, and other types of content. A section is a self-contained portion of content that deals with one or more related topics or thoughts.
Types of content that may use a heading (Content may be presented individually or in a connected group):
- Documents
- Web pages
- eBooks
- Paragraphs
- Lists
- Subsections
- Images
- Multimedia
- Application controls
Form fields, menus and checkboxes are not headings. For more information on using these components, please see [TOD} user interface components.
Why
- Headings help people understand and navigate what you write.
- Headings make it easier to find updated content.
- Users find it easier to scan material with clear marked headings.
- Headings allow readers to skim longer passages of text and choose which parts they want to read.
Who it helps
- Visually impaired and blind people use headings to navigate sections.
- People with cognitive disabilities use headings to understand how writers organize their thoughts.
- People who use keyboard navigation use headings to jump to content they want to read.
- All readers benefit from clear organization and navigation, especially when their time and energy are limited.
How
- Organize your text into sections and give each of them a heading.
- Be sure the heading gives structure and context to its related content.
- Write headings that clearly and concisely describe the topic in the subsequent content.
- Use subheadings to organize content within sections.
- Include headings and subheadings in site maps and table of contents.
- Use chapters — like a printed book — for longer blocks of text.

24
1 Do not be envious of those who are evil,
nor desire to associate with them,
2 because their hearts plot violence,
and their lips talk about trouble.
3 Through wisdom a house is built
and by understanding it is established.
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man proves to be strong,
and a person who has knowledge is better than one who is strong,
6 for by wise directions you can wage your war,
and with many advisors there is victory.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool;
in the gate he does not open his mouth.
8 There is one who plans to do evil—
people call him a master of schemes.
9 A foolish plan is sin,
and men despise a mocker.
10 If you show your cowardice in the day of trouble,
then your strength is small.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death,
and hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
12 If you say, "There! We knew nothing about this."
Does not the One who weighs the heart understand what you are saying?
And the One who guards your life, does he not know it?
And will God not give to each one what he deserves?
13 My son, eat honey because it is good,
because the drippings of honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
14 Such is wisdom for your soul—
if you find it, there will be a future
and your hope will not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait like wicked people
who attack the house of those who do right.
Do not destroy his home!
16 For if a man who does right falls down seven times,
he will rise up again,
but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 Do not celebrate when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18 or Yahweh will see and disapprove
and turn away his wrath from him.
19 Do not worry because of those who do evil things,
and do not envy wicked people,
20 for the evil person has no future,
and the lamp of the wicked will go out.
21 Fear Yahweh, and fear the king, my son;
do not associate with those who rebel against them,
22 for suddenly their disaster will come
and who knows the extent of the destruction that will come from both of them?
23 These also are sayings of the wise.
Partiality in judging a case at law is not good.
24 Whoever says to the guilty, "You are in the right,"
will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.
25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
and gifts of goodness will come to them.
26 The one who gives an honest answer
gives a kiss on the lips.
27 Prepare your outdoor work,
and make everything ready for yourself in the field;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not bear witness against your neighbor without cause,
and do not deceive with your lips.
29 Do not say, "I will do to him what he has done to me;
I will pay him back for what he has done."
30 I went by the field of a lazy man,
past the vineyard of the man having no sense.
31 Thorns had grown up everywhere,
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and considered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty comes upon you like a robber,
and your needs will come to you like an armed soldier.

MARK OF ZORRO, THE (director: Fred Niblo; screenwriter: Johnston MacCulley's story The Curse of Capistrano/Douglas Fairbanks; cinematographer:William McGann/Harry Thorpe; cast: Douglas Fairbanks (Don Diego Vega/Zorro), Charles Hill Mailes (Don Carlos Pulido), Noah Beery, Sr. (Sgt. Pedro Gonzalez), Marguerite de la Motte (Lolita), Robert McKim (Captain Juan Ramon), Walt Whitman (Father Felipe), George Periolat (Gov. Alvarado), Tote Du Crow (Bernardo), Claire McDowell (Dona Catalina Pulido), Sidney De Gray (Don Alejandro), Snitz Edwards (Short Barkeep), 1920-silent)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Douglas Fairbanks plays his first action hero role as Zorro, the sort of part he will play for the rest of his film career, before this very popular film he was cast only in light comedies. He also produced the film, as he formed a studio called United Artists, that also included partners Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith, and Charlie Chaplin.
This fun-type of swashbuckler, gave him a chance to show-off his athletic ability, as he himself did all the dueling scenes and acrobatic routines the story required. He is dressed in a black mask-and- cape, which gave the role a certain amount of appeal to audiences.
The film is not much on character study, instead it's filled with action sequences and a melodramatic love story between Zorro, who hides his true identity of being the son of the aristocratic rancher Don Alejandro (De Gray), and the sweet Lolita Pukido (Marguerite).
He is forced by his father to seek a wife, Lolita, and appears to be very unmanly to her, forcing her to reject him even though he is so wealthy and her father wants this marriage. She is the daughter of a blue-blooded Spanish family that has fallen on hard times, her father is Don Carlos Pulido (Charles Hill Mailes) and her mother is Dona Catalina Pulido (Claire McDowell).
The reason for the Zorro disguise, is because he just returned three months ago from studying in Spain and wants to secretly organize the caballeros against the oppressors who are, especially, cruel towards the poor, the natives and the priests. He leaves his trade-mark of a Z on the skin of those oppressors he duels with.
The action takes place in 19th century Southern California, where the corrupt governor, Alvarado (Periolat), who is from the northern part, where he controls the colonial territory, comes south because he is upset with Zorro's interference in his affairs. He will post a reward to get him dead or alive. There is no mistake about who the goodguys and who the badguys are in this childlike adventure story. The heavies are played like heavies were played in the old days of filmmaking: and are the governor and his henchmen- Sergeant Pedro Gonzalez (Noah Berry) and Captain Ramos (Robert McKim).
A typical action scene, is the one in the cantina, where Zorro suddenly appears and fights a duel with Sergeant Ramos while keeping all the other soldiers at bay. It reminded me of a Charlie Chaplin routine, the one where he's the tramp and is kicking the cop in his behind. Zorro likes to laugh a lot and play cat-and-mouse games with his enemies, all-the-while courting danger, as he disarms his opponent and toys with him.
The film disappointed me in many ways, not the least being, that his plan to help the poor, seemed misplaced, and that this was more a story of aristocrats and those of wealth versus bad politicians rather than the Robin Hood story it projected itself to be. It was really a stretch to believe that the noble Zorro was anything but a rich aristocrat having a bit of sport, and finding love with someone he could have easily found love with anyway without going through his masquerade. The story itself was a cliche, featuring his cardboard-typed father wanting his son not to be an idler and make something of himself, while the son feigns being fatigued all the time and acting effeminate, performing silly magic tricks when he should be seriously courting the eligible senorita his father fixed him up with. There is also the faithful native servant, Roberto (Tote Du Crow), who knows Don Diego Vega's secrets, but cannot speak, he can only hear. It was the type of part you can almost expect to see in a film like this, and one that is void of any real human emotions.
There are no surprises in this predictable costume actioner, but it is pleasantly shot in B&W with a tinted look to it. It should please those who like their films to be lighthearted. Because it was such a successful film box-office wise and was a precursor to the type of film Hollywood is noted for putting forth, it could be interesting just to see how this silent yarn compares with the viewer's take on the more modern action films.

T=0 minutes: 20 mg of ritalin crushed and snorted in four lines over 1 minute
my nose stung and I didn't feel anything.
T=10 minutes: roughly 0.5 of canabis smoked.
T=15 minutes: started to feel a little hyper and I started to feel the pot start to kick in.
I stood outside for about 20 minutes and began to have problems speaking, in that my thought process was a little muddy and I stuttered a bit. At times I also felt as if I had so many things that I wanted to say and so many things that I wanted to follow these thoughts with that I couldn't bring myself to say anything. It was as if I was wrestling with myself internally, struggling to decide what I wanted to begin by saying. Also, I'm not generally an incredibly talkitave person, but I found that I had an infinite vault of trivial information, anecdotes, and stories to tell and I found I was almost completely monopolizing the conversation. I also found that I could just barely sit still and listen to someone else speak, I just wanted to talk myself.
T=35 minutes: I went into the house and stared at this crazy coloured poster for a little while. It is one of those pictures that you are supposed to look at while you're tripping out.  When I went really close to it I could see a faint reflection of myself in the black dots. I also had odd feelings throughout my body and my heart was pumping very fast.
T=1.5 hours: at this point I had hit my peak and was starting to come down. I began to feel incredibly jittery and couldn't sit still. When I stood up my legs would shake slightly, but noticeably and all of my actions were extremely quick. For example if I was pointing at something I would raise my hand really fast.
T= 2 hours: I started to feel at little naucious and I felt as if I had a lot of nervous energy but I was too tired to use it.
T= 3 hours: I began to feel very sick and tired. All I wanted to do was sleep but I felt that I had so much energy that I wouldn't be able to.
T= 5 hours: all through this time I felt as if I had the flu and wished I hadn't taken the ritalin. I also didn't have an appetite and couldn't bring myself to eat or drink even though I was extremely hungry and dehydrated.
T= 7 hours: my whole body began to feel heavy and I began to feel as if I was leaving my body every time I didn't concentrate on it.
T= 9 hours: I felt tired and naucious so I decided to go to bed. I managed to force a couple of glasses of water down first.
T= 19 hours: woke up still feeling sick and ate only a small amount of breakfast and drank a lot of water, as I was feeling quite dehydrated.
T= 24 hours: I managed to eat quite a bit of lunch and although feeling moderately depressed I feel fine.
This is kind of an interesting drug, especially mixed with pot but I wouldn't recommend it because coming down off of it is terrible. It was kind of like a really bad hangover that lasted for a really long time.

Okay, I need your opinion on this. Should we release the client as-is for download? Should we let just our friends test it out?
There is no character animation and you can't see your own player. An even bigger issue is that none of the resources are encrypted.

encryption's a big deal, but I'd worry about fixing it up so that the animations work and it's in 3rd person...also, that list of things I asked for at the meeting. I think a wall and strafing were the other ones...
I just think that having all that would make it a more complete and worthwhile demo.

ok, now it works. it's really slow, and some of the textures (the ground) don't load correctly. Movement is a crawl, and talk didn't show up (I think that's just because I got impatient and quit, though). Music works fine.
So it works! Hallelujah!
The problems need to be worked out, but this is a huge step!

YAY for slowness!!!!!
Don't worry, I think I can fix the slowness. We may need to cut down on some graphical stuff; I'll see what I can do about optimization.
Right now I'm working on a map format because I think that's what we need next. I'll be finishing up this demo probably by/at the next meeting, but I've been beating my head against it for so long that I need a refresher.

Run the SQL in the Ad Hoc command window to the right.
This steps explains how to turn on automatic table compression.
The first statement creates a new table CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_WITH_AUTO_COMPRESSION with automatic compression turned on. The CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_WITH_AUTO_COMPRESSION table is identical to the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_COMPRESSION table except that it will have COMPRESS YES turned on.
All the rows from the original CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_COMPRESSION table are selected and inserted in the new CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_WITH_AUTO_COMRESSION table.When enough new data has been sampled (typically 1 - 2 MB), a compression dictionary is automatically created. Any new incoming data is also compressed automatically. You don't have to run REORG or INSPECT to explicitly create the compression dictionary.

On MyAnimeList, while viewing another user's profile, the sidebar displays your affinity with them:
Affinity can be positive or negative, and (supposedly) represents how similar your scores are, and by extension - your tastes.
The affinity system has become a sort of gatekeeper, deciding whether two people on MAL should be friends, or whether one should trust recommendations from another person.
If you're interested in the math, the affinity calculation uses Pearson's correlation coefficient - you can read more at Wikipedia or the MAL thread that proposed a better affinity system.
Here are some thoughts from the lead dev for MAL's thoughts regarding affinity.
The difference between two users' scores is much more important than the scores itself. As an example, these two lists have maximum (+100%) affinity:
The above example represents a few problems with affinity. It doesn't require users' scores to be similar, only that the difference in scores be similar.
This might be useful, as it disregards a users scoring system; if someone rates all their shows around 7/10, and another rates their shows around 5/10, affinity will account for that.
However, it also means that you can get false positives. As an extreme example, this is also 100% affinity:
... even if these users have completely opposite tastes.
This is not to say affinity is a totally broken system - if two users have a similar rating system, affinity will be fairly accurate in representing how similar their (difference in) scores is.
The table below represents two users' lists and their scores, try changing Lulu's scores to increase their affinity.
| Lulu's Score | Ginko's Score | Score Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | |||
| +1 | |||
| +3 | |||
| -2 | |||
| -1 | |||
| -2 |

Here I go, scaring off everyone in my first real post, but seriously, I love vegan baking. I don’t care if you’re an omnivore or a vegetarian (I DO eat meat), but I think that everyone should try vegan baking once. It just always turns out so nicely.
Vegan Milanos (slighty modified and simplified from here )
Makes 16
1/3 cup soy milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
½ cup chocolate chips
•Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 2 large cookie sheets.
•In a large mixing bowl, mix together the soy milk, sugar, oil, vanilla, and zest.
•In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Add half to the first mixture; mix well. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until you have a soft dough.
•Roll 1 tablespoon's worth of dough into a ball, and then flatten into a Milano-shaped oval.
•Continue with the rest of the dough until you have 16 cookies placed about 1 inch apart.
•Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are firm and the edges are ever so slightly browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Use a thin, flexible spatula to transfer to a cooling rack. Meanwhile, bake your next batch and melt the chocolate chips.
•Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, or after about 10 minutes, spread some chocolate on the bottom of two cookies, and sandwich them together. Repeat.
•After sandwiching all of the cookies, place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Bring them back to room temperature before serving.

This busy commercial port, at the entrance to the Oued Loukos river, lies about 25nm south of Asilah. As with Rabat and Allischa, this harbour should not be entered with any size of swell running. Only enter in calm conditions.
Whilst facilities for yachts are limited, authorities and local fisherman are reported to be very friendly.
Within the harbour is a floating pontoon (on the starboard side after official offices) to which you will be directed on arrival. It's likely the military will want to come on board, however all officials are reported to be friendly. The skipper will have to go to the nearby police office for registration, which is fast and efficient. This is not a port of clearance.
Depths are reported to be good in this harbour and its entrance.
The floating pontoon for yachts is guarded by the military and has excellent security.
This is a beautiful town with a wonderful medina (just 200m from docking) with a small market and some shops. You can hear old Moroccan music from the 18 century on Sunday evenings here. The modern centre with bars and restaurants and shops for provisioning, plus banks, is 400m away.

T.C. Martin article - "Tesla's Oscillator
and Other Inventions" that appeared in the
Century Magazine (April 1895) Samuel Clemens in
Nikola Tesla's lab, spring of 1894. Clemens is
holding Tesla's experimental vacuum lamp, which
is powered by a loop of wire which is receiving
electromagnetic energy from a Tesla coil. (Mr.
Tesla is visible in the background)
Sam Clemens, who's pen name was "Mark Twain", was
born in 1835 when Halley's Comet was visible from
Earth, and he predicted that he would "go out with it",
as well. He died the day after the comet was visible
from Earth in 1910. He was labeled as the "greatest
American author and humorist of his age", and
Nobel/Pulitzer prize winning author William Faulkner
once referred to Clemens as "the father of American
literature".
The name ”Mark Twain" was derived from a riverboat
term that measured two fathoms, (12 feet) in depth:
mark, (measure) twain (two).
Samuel Clemens at age 20 -
1855
Clemens was fascinated with scientific inquiry and
discovery. He developed a close and lasting friendship
with Nikola Tesla, and the two spent much time together
in Tesla's laboratory. Late in life he developed a
relationship with Thomas Edison as well.
Clemens was in great demand as a featured speaker,
delivering humorous talks, very similar to what would
later become known as stand-up comedy. He presented to
many men's clubs, including the Authors' Club,
Beefsteak Club, Vagabonds, White Friars, and the Monday
Evening Club of Hartford. In the late 1890s, he spoke
to the Savage Club in London and was elected as an
honorary member. When Clemens was told that only three
men had received that honor, including the Prince of
Wales, he replied "Well, it must make the Prince feel
mighty fine."
Clemens became well known for his refusal to
compromise his principles. He was a tremendous
supporter of the woman suffrage movement.
In 1903 Clemens wrote a heart-felt letter to Helen Keller which
resulted in a very special friendship.
 If I could have been deaf, dumb, and
blind I also might have arrived at something."
Samuel Clemens with Helen
Keller in 1903
He visited Sydney, Australia in 1895 as part of a
world lecture tour. In 1897, Clemens spoke to the
Concordia Press Club in Vienna as a special guest. To
the great amusement of attendees, Clemens delivered the
speech "Die Schrecken der deutschen Sprache" in German,
("The Horrors of the German Language").
In 1901, Clemens was invited to speak at Princeton
University's Whig-Clio Literary Society, where he was
made an honorary member as well.
In 1907, Clemens received a Doctor of Letters degree
from Oxford University.
Samuel Clemens after
receiving his Oxford degree - 1907
Clemens patented three inventions, including an
"Improvement in Adjustable and Detachable Straps for
Garments", (a replacement for suspenders), as well as a
history trivia game. The most successful invention was
a self-pasting scrapbook; a dried adhesive on the pages
needed only to be moistened before use, and over 25,000
were sold.
Clemens' novel, "A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court", (1889) features a time traveler from
the modern US, using his knowledge of science to
introduce technology to the citizens of England in the
past. This type of storyline would later become quite
common in many science fiction pieces.
In 1909, Thomas Edison requested to visit Clemens at
his home in Redding, Connecticut to film him. Part of
the footage was used in "The Prince and the Pauper"
(1909), a short film.
Life Timeline:
- 1835 - Born in Florida, Missouri.
(Halley’s comet visible from earth)
- 1839 - Moves to Hannibal,
Missouri, which later serves as the model town for
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
- 1847 - Father dies, leaving family
in difficult circumstances.
- 1851 - Begins work as a journeyman
printer with the Hannibal Gazette. Publishes first

Cubs entered the series 3-3 and ended 4-5.
Brewers entered the series 3-4 and ended 5-5.
Friday, April 8
Cubs 7
Brewers 4
WP–Carlos Zambrano (1-0)
LP–Randy Wolf (0-2)
SV–Carlos Marmol (3)
The Cubs started a long 9-game road trip in Milwaukee and had to be confident starting the series with Zambrano as he was 10-5 at Miller Park going in to Friday's game. Z looked good, but gave up Prince Fielder's first home run of the season and 100th of his career in the second. After that, Z settled in nicely and only gave up two more runs and finished strong in the 6th with an 8 pitch inning.
The highlight of the game was the offense of Jeff Baker who went 4-5 with 4 RBI. Baker crushed a 3 run home run in the 4th after Geovany Soto picked up his first home run of the year just four batters before. Baker hits left handed pitching well and it's likely that we'll continue to see him starting when lefties take the mound.
After Zambrano's departure the Marshall, Wood, Marmol 7-8-9 combo worked to perfection and Marmol picked up his third save in his usual erratic way.
Saturday, April 9
Cubs 0
Brewers 6
WP–Chris Narveson (1-0)
LP–Matt Garza (0-1)
After a good win on Friday the Cubs just couldn't get the offense going on Saturday. Chris Narveson threw 7 strong innings and only gave up 6 hits and no runs to the Cubs. The Cubs had their chances but Carlos Pena struck out three times in the game, all with runners on base.
The Brewers lineup showed their muscle led by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder and put up 5 runs on Matt Garza. Braun ended the day 2-4 with three runs and an RBI and Fielder ended 3-4 (all doubles) with 4 RBI.
Sunday, April 10
Cubs 5
Brewers 6
WP–Kameron Loe (1-0)
LP–Kerry Wood (0-1)
SV–John Axford (3)
After Saturday's throw away game, the Cubs were in position to take the series with a good performance on Sunday. This was our first look at call-up Casey Coleman who pitched well, going 5 innings and only giving up four runs to this potent offense. The Cubs started strong offensively, scoring in each of the first three innings, but the Braun/Fielder show wouldn't let the Cubs sneak away and each hit two run homers to tie the game. The Cubs would score again in the 7th to take the lead after three scoreless innings. Their inability to score more than one run in a bases-loaded one out situation would haunt them in the 8th when Kerry Wood gave up a game winning, two run homer to Casey McGehee. Game three of the series could have easily ended differently. It's easy to blame Wood, but this loss is squarely on the offense.
They are who we thought they were
After an 0-4 start the Brewers have now won 5 of 6. Their offense is stacked, but their defense is mediocre at best. To beat the Brewers the Cubs will have to score runs and take advantage of what the Brewers give up on fielding mistakes. Even with good pitching the Brewers will put up huge offensive numbers.
RISP
Game 1, 2-8, Game 2, 0-5, Game 3, 2-17. The Cubs have a good offense and the young guys are doing their job getting on base. The big hitters need to step up and get them home. 4-30 is not good enough vs. a team like the Brewers.
Do me a favor, don't panic...yet
It's April!

An Uber-style Bus Trial Is Coming To SA
Six-month “on demand” public transport trials will begin in the Barossa and Mount Barker early in 2020.
Transport Minister Stephan Knoll has told the Barossa Herald:
"We are exploring 'on-demand' bus services, so passengers don't have to wait for a bus service in these areas, they can call one when they need it.
"'On-demand' services will provide passengers with a faster and more personalised service.
"Passengers will be able to track where their bus is and order it to their location to save them waiting in the rain or heat.
"In its simplest terms, these 'on-demand' bus services will operate in a similar way to most ride sharing apps than millions of people use right across the country.


“Up There,” movie made in Upper Peninsula, hits local scre
STEPHENSON, Mich. (AP) - A movie shot in the Upper Peninsula is having its Michigan premiere this weekend.
“Up There” is the story of a journalist who is sent to the Upper Peninsula to cover the closing of a mine. The journalist gets help from a local woman, whose personal tragedy plays a role in the plot.
“Up There” opened Friday at Tivoli Theater in Stephenson. There are showings Saturday and Sunday and on Nov. 14.
The Iron Mountain Daily News says the movie was made in Dickinson County in 2017. Locals will recognize Pat’s Foods in Norway, the Iron Mountain mine in Vulcan and the Longbranch Saloon in Faithorn.
Actress Zoe Kanters says she and the directors wanted to show the film in the community “that made it happen.” Screenings are also planned this month in Suttons Bay, Ann Arbor and Bloomfield Hills.

ANTONIA'S LINE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 8.5 Alternative Scale: ***1/2 out of ****
Netherlands/Belgium/UK, 1995 U.S. Release Date: undetermined Running Length: 1:42 MPAA Classification: No MPAA Rating (Nudity, sex, profanity, mature themes, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Willeke Van Ammelrooy, Jan Decleir, Els Dottermans, Thyrza Ravesteijn, Dora Van Der Groen, Marina De Graaf Director: Marleen Gorris Producers: Hans De Weers, Antonino Lombardo, Judy Counihan Screenplay: Marleen Gorris Cinematography: Willy Stassen Music: Ilona Seckaz U.S. Distributor: First Look Pictures In Dutch with subtitles
ANTONIA'S LINE, director Marleen Gorris' fourth feature film, won the Most Popular Film Award at 1995's Toronto Film Festival, and it's not hard to understand why. This small Dutch film is a heady, life- affirming mixture of drama, comedy, romance, tragedy, philosophy, and art. In an era when the concept of "the family" is being eroded, Gorris underlines the importance of community. And, by confronting death from the atheist's point-of-view, she shows that even though we all have only "one dance to dance", death is in one sense a new beginning, as the grave transforms corpses into fresh nutrients for the soil.
Opening shortly after the end of World War II and continuing for over forty years, ANTONIA'S LINE introduces us to four generations of women -- Antonia (Willeke Van Ammelrooy), her daughter Danielle (Jan Decleir), her granddaughter Therese (Els Dottermans), and her great- granddaughter Sarah (Thyrza Ravesteijn). The film begins in the post- war Netherlands with Antonia returning to the village of her birth. In her company is her young daughter, whose initial impression of the town is that it's an unpromising place. Antonia, who left twenty years ago, has come back to bury her mother and take over running her inherited farm.
The movie progresses by highlighting various episodes in the lives of the characters. Aside from Antonia's family, we're introduced to many of the town's other residents: Farmer Bas, who carries a torch for Antonia; Crooked Finger, a student of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche; retarded Deedee, who is raped by her own brother; Mad Madonna, who bays at the full moon; a man known only as "the Protestant", who desperately loves his howling neighbor; and many others. Together, these misfits and outcasts form Antonia's tight-knit community -- those friends and neighbors who are always ready to support one of their own, regardless of the circumstances.
Gorris imbues each of her characters with a sense of uniqueness, and we come to care about them, whether they're around for the entire film or just a small portion of it. The story flows smoothly from event to event, balancing such disparate elements as madcap humor (Danielle's vision of her grandmother rising from a coffin and breaking into a chorus of "My Blue Heaven") and shocking violence (two rapes). The only obvious flaw in the structure of ANTONIA'S LINE is its over-reliance upon a voiceover narrative; there are times when the plot is too easily advanced by telling instead of showing.
ANTONIA'S LINE is a thematically rich motion picture, with a visual style similar to that of Dennis Potter's work (PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, THE SINGING DETECTIVE). In addition to the evident message about the importance of community, the film challenges different philosophies about death, from those of Schopenhauer to those of the Catholic church. It condemns the hypocrisies of organized religion while endorsing the concept of "church" as a gathering place. It celebrates painting, math, music, and all forms of creative expression. And it gently advances the director's feminist agenda, illustrating that women can thrive (not just survive) without men. Antonia doesn't want a husband and Danielle's lover is a lesbian.
The final lines of ANTONIA'S LINE are: "And, as this long chronicle draws to a conclusion, nothing has ended." Such is often the case for life stories brought to the screen with heartfelt realism. Aided by a fine cast giving unaffected performances, Gorris has fashioned a rare and wonderful world capable of provoking both laughter and tears -- sometimes at the same time.

Is this it?
By LRB Oct 2017.
Over a year ago I graduated from an excellent training facility that has helped shape my software developer skills and mindset.
I have had the good fortune to complete some contract work since then but now I seek to nail that next role.
I am writing this for other graduate developers to read (and maybe learn from) as they commence their new career. It is not my intention or desire to deride any person or organization nor do I wish to impress or annoy. For the record I will be not be mentioning any person or organization by name. They will simply be referred to as the 'the Man' - could be a man or woman and could be more than one person or organization.
Mostly I will just poke fun at myself.
You may feel me a bit reckless - may I not be jeopardizing any possible job opportunity? You could be right but this is a time I need to follow my intuition.
A few weeks ago I would not have written any of this but what I needed was content for this site. I did not want to discuss code or technologies just yet as that is an experience in the making. You will find far better code development resources elsewhere if that is what you seek. You will not find anything extraordinary here but there is a parallel site in development where I experiment with code and technologies.
What I can discuss here is some of my wide range of experiences that I know so very well.
There is no writing plan of endless notes I have taken - I have an excellent memory.
the Interview
By LRB Oct 2017.
These are actual interviews I have had the honor of attendling. To reiterate 'the Man' is either a man or women, an organization or could be more than one person.
White boarding
'the Man' asked me to whiteboard the part of an application I had worked on. I was also to interpret aloud as I whiteboarded. Feeling rather confident of my skills and knowledge I proceeded with great vigor. 'the Man' - a forensic analyst pursued my sketch and words like a hound. I then had a vague recollection of a time long ago when I gave a piano recital. On completion of this recital I went to rise and meet the audience only to discover my right leg had gone dead - like really numb. I fell flat on my face. Suddenly back in the now I tried to contain my thinking. I could clearly see what I wanted to say but my hands would not write and any vocabulary had deserted me. End of interview.
Note: I wish to thank that particular 'the Man'. 'the Man' highlighted my many areas for improvement - like know your CV really well. You might indeed have done all you said but how well can you articulate it. I felt upset at my own foolishness for a bit - but mostly I just felt relief, knowing I had not found the right job yet.
The silent one
Entry level programmer wanted. 1 hour and 15 minutes of near silence. 'the Man' occasionally glanced in my direction and remarked about something on my CV. In fear of losing any vocal capabilities I remarked of the only white board in the room and what was clearly a programmer's scrawl. Is that VB.Net I inquired? 'the Man' said 'the Man' had no idea as 'the Man' was not a programmer, couldn't understand any of it as 'the Man' was the IT manager and had been for 30 years.
Body language
'the Man'invited me to an interview located at the 'the Man' cafe. 'the Man' proceeded to greet everyone in the cafe but not me. Eye contact was fleeting. Eventually 'the Man' asked me a question but I could not be sure if this was meant for me as 'the Man' sat side on, legs crossed away from me - projecting their voice away toward a vending machine. Perhaps 'the Man' was trying to make contact with the vending machine - get it to rise up. Should I mirror 'the Mans' body language or could I try stare 'the Man' out to get some kind of recognition? I could sit on the vending machine. Would 'the Man' even notice?
Noise pollution
You may find yourself in a noisy environment like a cafe. If you are good at lip reading then great, otherwise nod no when 'the Man' nods no and nod yes when the 'the Man' nods yes. Another strategy is to lip sync (this way you get to say little, if nothing) but you can be sure that 'the Man' can't hear you anyway, even if you actually speak.
Integrate - the group interview
Accepting the invitation to go down the 'the Man' slide I realized I was last to go. It took me a week to catch up with the rest of the group and 'the Man' as they made a reconnaissance of 'the Man' facilities - (OK a slight exaggeration but you get the picture. I'm not slow, just careful). Wanting to integrate, like stealth I kept a watchful eye on the group and 'the Man'. This is a perfect time for lip reading. Through the noise and hustle I could interpret what was being said from 10 meters away.
Gobble gobble
'the Man' was famished and needed to eat. Would I like a coffee? Yes please. 'the Man' proceeded to tell me 'the Man' was a gobble gobble mathematician. Sorry did you say magician? Gobble gobble no mathematician gobble.
FAQ
By LRB Oct 2017.
This could be for potential interviewers preparing questions for me. I have prepared some answers based on real questions from previous interviews to save you time and scarce resources. Please note this is not a comprehensive list.
To reiterate the interviewer is 'the Man' - could be a man or a woman and could be more than one person.
Q.1
'the Man' - if you could be an animal what would you be and why?
Me - I would be an Elephant, gracious and proud (not too proud), they lead their young to water, visit the graves of their dead and there is not too many left on earth.
The 'the Man' wanted to debate me with this knowledge. 'Is this proven?' - 'the Man' asked.
Me - why yes I have listened, watched and read excellent reports from renown scientists and researchers, professional people in their fields of study much like yourself. Can I jot down your reply for future reference?
Q.2
'the Man' - what's your favorite TV show and why?
Me - Fortitude, seasons 1 and 2. I am not going to give the why away. If you care about the future world I recommend you watch it for yourself.
Q.3
'the Man' - tell 'the Man' about a mistake you have made and what you learned from it?
Me - I was asked to be leader of 'the Man' team. I did not want to lead. 'the Man' team was difficult. 'the Man' team did not want to listen to me, contribute or do the hard graft to reach our goal. With a fear of looming failure I started to lead. I pulled on 'the Mans' likes and what 'the Man' was better at doing. 'the Man' team was very successful.
Q.4
'the Man' - what gets you out of your bed in the morning?
Me - I love a challenge.
Q.5
'the Man' - do you have any weaknesses?
Me - I sometimes (very rarely) have a tendency to waffle - that is why I am keeping this short.
Q.6
'the Man' - what do you do when your not coding?
Me - I like to write.
Notes for interviewies
Most of us will know the behavioural (one dictionary definition - response of an organism to a stimulus) type interview question like the ones above. To help us we could have an assistant like 'Man behave'.
'Man behave'
'Man behave' is an app made for users - people like you and me. 'Man behave' has a feature that deciphers particular words or whole sentences posed as questions. All the user has to do is input answers to all the behavioural questions ever asked. We the user will supply a few answers per question. We will also describe the why. 'Man behave' has the answers queued so only needs to pop one off or do a random selection. 'Man behave' speaks the answsers aloud so you don't have to. At the interview you make 'the Man' aware of 'Man behave' - does 'the Man' mind if you trial this new app?
Some random facts you won't find on my cv
By LRB Oct 2017.
A smart brother said to me - your cv is a sales document - you need to sell yourself. Fact one - I couldn't act to sell or save myself.
- Hitch hiked around Europe alone - wouldn't do it now.
- Part of role in a job I once had, required that I search for bomb devices.
- Walking in Scotland I fell and was sucked into a peat bog. My friend wouldn't help me out as she was in hysterics - with laughter.
- Wrote and gave a speech about climate change - I was the characters winter, summer, autumn and spring.
- Saved a women from choking to death by giving her the Heimlich Maneuver.
- Slept on a beach one night. When I woke, a sign read 'Murderer's Bay'.
- I believe saying 'learn from us - we are good at what we do' is more credible than claiming - 'learn from us - we are the best in the business'.
- Show me - don't tell me.
- Now and again I need to practice mindfulness.
Be mindful

Thinking can be dangerous
Walking home one night from work I was three or so meters from my front door. I was thinking hard on how I could improve on my work performance. It took one missed step for me to trip and do a 'face plant' against the side of the house. Burst my lip, lost a tooth and my pride. I was in great pain. The message here is leave your work at work and focus on the now.
Use it or lose it
You have to make an effort to look after yourself when job hunting. I can be lazy when it comes to exercise. Last week I had two appointments a block apart. I drove and parked in the middle of the block. Returning to the car after the first appointment I then drove about 20 meters to a park closer to the next appointment.
Age
Don't let age be a barrier to hiring me. I was stopped in the street by a man soliciting for signatures. He said to me 'Are you 18 and if so can you sign this form?. I said 'No sorry - I just look mature for my age'.
Carrots
Most vegetables are good for you. Apparently eating carrots can help maintain good eyesight. I once heard of someone who ate nothing but pumpkin soup for a week. They couldn't understand why their skin had turned a shade of orange. Too much of a good thing or too good to be true. Be mindful of 'the Man' who teases you with a carrot. Do nothing until you have it signed sealed and delivered - then you will know it is true. For us graduates it is also good practice never to make offers unless you are certain you can commit 100%.
Best or better
Regarding the last point in the random facts section above. I was researching 'the Man' in preparation for an interview. 'the Man' claimed to be 'the best in the business...come learn from us...'. I studied one of 'the Man' websites. This website had a feature that allowed the user to find a particular vendor. I happen to know one of the listed vendors is a 20 minute walk from my home. However the website had me starting my journey up the west coast and informed me it would take 13.5 hours to walk to this vendor. I think it is better to say 'We are good at what we do...Louise or you, come work with us and help make us better...' or something like that.
I could do better. I could have a job - where I can contibute and learn so much more.
Drawing a line
By LRB April 2018.
I got it
Just when I thought I was at the end of trying I got a developer role with the perfect team of people and company. So I am drawing a line under this stage of my developer career.


It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price, than a fair company at a wonderful price. [əbˈseʃ(ə)n] The price is a reflection of the company's value – what the public is willing to pay for a piece of the company. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.


Creative Computing
Joel Gethin Lewis
Week 4: Lecture 8: Linking
What I'm going to talk about now:
- Group meditation.
- Questions?
- The History of the Internet, The History of the Graphical User Interface, The History of Hypertext.
- Encryption.
- Trees and Graphs.
- Google, Facebook and CS183.
- Decentralisation: P2P, Blockchain and IPFS and Filecoin, Merkle Trees and DAT and Beaker.
- Mark Lombardi, Listening Post and Celestial Mechanics
- Feedback.
- Homework Assignment - exercises from Code as Creative Medium - Graphic Elements.
Are you recording Joel? Have you taken the register first?
2. The History of the Internet, The History of the Graphical User Interface, The History of Hypertext.
5. Google, Facebook and CS183.
- You can think of Google as a way of brute forcing a two way world wide web - the way it was meant to be in the first place if Ted Nelson had had his way.
- I have respect for Google as the orginal PageRank algorithm was a technical breakthrough in web search. Facebook on the other hand was just in the right place at the right time, with good marketing.
- Peter Thiel was one of the original investors in Facebook, you can read about his startup methods in the course that he taught at Stanford, CS183. More notes from the revised course here. Basically have a public and private plan and go for monopoly.
- Interestingly another early investor was CIA, via its investment arm, In-Q-Tel. People will survey themselves these days! Another key Thiel company is Palantir Technologies.
- Thiel is the subject of the documentary Nobody Speak, about freedom of the press and billionaires censoring of it.
6. Decentralisation: P2P, Blockchain and IPFS and Filecoin, Merkle Trees and DAT and Beaker.
7. Mark Lombardi, Listening Post and Celestial Mechanics.
8. Feedback
- What's working?
- What's not working?
- What am I missing?
- Lets talk now or you can Slack me in private.
