This is pxb-day-dial
. It's a time picker. Spin it, and the background gradient (pxb-daycycle
) will adjust to reflect the time you chose.
Just messing around with some photo deconstruction. Open the link and try clicking around. In order to control the initial window size, his only works with popups right now. I'm working on it. It kills me that I can't do this without tables.
I hate having to go to more than one place for things. I'd like to try using structured comments in conjunction with a barebones github repo to replace a roadmap / ticketing system.
You'd start an empty repo, add a README, and leave comments that describe desired functionality, priority, responsible individuals, dependencies, etc. Then you'd run a utility that scans the repo and compiles your todo list.
Github issues already does a pretty good job with feature requests, but issues are still a proprietary Github-ism, right? This would be 100% portable.
P.S. For javascript, I think the decorators pattern could work instead of comments, but one of the challenges is finding a syntax that you could use to create issues and requests in any file in the repo. I think a structured comment is a better fit, since every programming language I've used has some kind of block comment feature.
The gradient in the background is a work-in-progress.
It uses a linear gradient (with creative license) to represent a day-night cycle. The gradient is positioned vertically according to the browser's local time, and it animates up and down on a 24 hour cycle.

boost::xpressive::skip — Specify which characters to skip when matching a regex.
boost::xpressive::skip — 指定在匹配一个regex时要略过哪些字符。
// In header: <boost/xpressive/regex_primitives.hpp>
template<typename Skip> unspecified skip(Skip const & skip);
skip()
instructs the regex engine
to skip certain characters when matching a regex. It is most useful for
writing regexes that ignore whitespace. For instance, the following
specifies a regex that skips whitespace and punctuation:skip()
指令regex引擎在匹配一个regex时略过特定的字符。在编写跳过空白的regex时最为有用。例如，以下regex将略过空白和标点符号：
// A sentence is one or more words separated by whitespace
// and punctuation.
sregex word = +alpha;
sregex sentence = skip(set[_s | punct])( +word );
The way it works in the above example is to insert keep(*set[_s | punct])
before each primitive within the regex. A "primitive" includes
terminals like strings, character sets and nested regexes. A final *set[_s | punct]
is added to the end of the regex. The regex sentence
specified above is equivalent to the following:
上例中的regex的工作方式是，在regex内的每个原语前插入 keep(*set[_s | punct])
。"原语"包括终结符如字符串、字符集合，以及嵌套的regexes。在regex的最后还会加上一个最终的 *set[_s | punct]
。上述 regex sentence
等价于以下：
sregex sentence = +( keep(*set[_s | punct]) >> word )
>> *set[_s | punct];
Parameters: |
|
||
Notes: |
Skipping does not affect how nested regexes are handled because they
are treated atomically. String literals are also treated atomically;
that is, no skipping is done within a string literal. So |

Makes 3 tiers of decorated cheesecakes
Three baked cheesecakes are flavoured with childhood favourite fizzy drinks and extravagantly decorated with Italian meringue.
You will need 3 springform cake tins (1 x 20cm/8in, 1 x 18cm/7in tin and 1 x 15cm/6in), plus cake boards of the same same size and straws or cake dowels to support the tiers.
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
For the pastry base, rub the flour into the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the icing sugar.
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture. Use your hands to bring the dough together. Wrap in cling film and transfer to the freezer for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry as thinly as possible (ideally 3mm thick).
Line the 3 tins with the pastry, making sure to leave some extra in case it shrinks (leave any excess pastry upright not hanging over the sides as it could be difficult to trim later). Prick the bases with a fork and chill the filled tins for 15 minutes in the fridge.
Line the inside of the tins with baking paper and fill each tin with baking beans. Place the tins on baking trays. Blind bake the pastry shells for 15 minutes. Remove the baking beans and leave the pastry to cool in the tins.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
For the cream cheese filling, mix the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until incorporated. Add the soured cream, eggs, egg yold and flour. Mix gently to avoid incorporating excess air and pour the mixture into the pastry cases leaving a small lip at the top which will be filled with sauce later.
Scatter the stem ginger over the surface of the 20cm/8in cheesecake, the lemon zest on the 18cm/7in cheesecake and swirl the vanilla bean paste on the 15cm/6in cheesecake. Place all the tins on the middle shelf of the oven and bake the 15cm/6in cheesecake for 30 minutes and the 2 larger ones for 45 minutes, or until each cheesecake is set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave them to cool in the tin.
For the ginger beer topping, heat the cream until just boiling then pour it over the chocolate. When melted, stir in the stem ginger syrup. Once it has cooled a little, pour over the 20cm/8in cheesecake. Cool in the fridge or freezer.
For the lemonade topping, heat the cream until just boiling then pour it over the chocolate. When melted, stir in the lemon extract and food colouring. Once it has cooled a little, pour over the 18cm/7in cheesecake. Cool in the fridge or freezer.
For the cream soda topping, heat the cream until just boiling then pour it over the chocolate. When melted, stir in the vanilla paste. Once it has cooled a little, pour over the 15cm/6in cheesecake. Cool in the fridge or freezer.
For the Italian meringue, set up a freestanding mixer with the whisk attachment. Add the egg whites and whisk until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Meanwhile, heat the sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a pan until it reaches 120C on a sugar thermometer.
As soon as the sugar reaches 120C, slowly drizzle it into the egg whites with the motor running (take care not to pour the syrup onto the beaters as it might splash). When all the syrup is incorporated the mixture should be shiny and smooth. Continue to whisk until the bowl feels cold. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a medium plain nozzle.
To assemble, pipe a few dots of meringue onto each cake board. Carefully trim away any excess pastry and remove the cheesecakes from their tins. Place each cheesecake on the corresponding cake board.
Starting with the largest cheesecake, insert 3 drinking straws in a triangle formation about 5cm/2in apart (these will support the weight of the next layer of cheesecake). Carefully trim the straws to the same height as the cheesecake. Repeat the process with the 18cm/7in cheesecake.
Stack the cheesecakes from large to small and pipe the Italian meringue around the edge of each of the bottom 2 cheesecakes and over the top of the smallest one. Decorate the cheesecakes with white chocolate on the top layer, popping candy on the middle and crystallised ginger on the bottom.

The next 10 years of Apple will include self-driving cars, computer glasses, and — yes — a much faster iPhone
by Ben Gilbert, Business Insider US- For the past 10-plus years, Apple has made billions of dollars by manufacturing and selling the iPhone.
- But what’s next, after the iPhone? That’s the big question.
- Apple has a few major projects in the works, from a set of smart glasses to self-driving car technology to – yes – more iPhones.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Apple dominated the last decade in tech with the ubiquitous iPhone, and it’s gearing up for the next 10 years with a variety of projects.
Notably, at least one of those projects is intended to outright replace the iPhone.
From self-driving cars to smart glasses to taking on Netflix, these are Apple’s plans for continued domination in the decade to come.
1. The iPhone replacement: Apple’s smart glasses.
Apple’s looking to replace the iPhone “in roughly a decade,” according to a new report in The Information.
But what comes after the iPhone?
Some version of smart glasses, the first pair of which could arrive as soon as 2022, the report said. A “sleeker” pair is scheduled to arrive in 2023 – and Apple’s senior managers see the headsets replacing the iPhone “in roughly a decade.”
Neither product has been announced by Apple, but the two headsets were reportedly detailed to a packed room of employees in a secret October meeting at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.
According to people who attended the meeting cited in The Information’s report, Apple detailed the two devices as such:
- The first device, expected in 2022, is said to resemble the Oculus Quest virtual-reality headset, with a high-resolution display, cameras mounted on the outside, and the ability to map its surroundings.
- The second device, expected in 2023, is more akin to sunglasses, with a thick frame to house a battery and processors. These glasses are intended for all-day use and are a step closer to Apple’s eventual goal of releasing a device that replaces the iPhone.
Previous reports about Apple’s smart-glasses project have pointed to a release as soon as 2020. Apple has reportedly been working on some form of so-called augmented-reality eyewear since at least 2015.
2. Services galore, and maybe even a bundling of those services.
First it was Apple Music, and then it was Apple News Plus, and Apple Arcade, and, most recently, Apple TV Plus.
In the last few years, Apple has rapidly evolved into a major player in a subscription services market dominated by the likes of Netflix and Spotify. But the company’s next big move in that space may be a contraction of sorts: Apple is considering a subscription bundle that would include Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, and Apple News Plus, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Gerry Smith and Mark Gurman.
And that new bundle could arrive as soon as next year, in 2020, according to the report. The bundle of services that is said to be coming next year doesn’t include Apple Arcade, the video game subscription service Apple launched in September.
Starting with Apple Music in 2015, Apple has pushed hard into digital subscription services across the last several years. In 2019 in particular, Apple has launched three major new subscription services: Apple News Plus, Apple TV Plus, and Apple Arcade.
And Apple is showing no signs of slowing down in the coming years – especially as competition from the likes of Disney, Netflix, HBO, and more continues to heat up.
3. Self-driving cars, anyone?
Even the secret codename for Apple’s self-driving car efforts is grandiose: “Project Titan” is what it’s known as internally.
The company has been working on self-driving car tech for five years at this point – the project has thousands of employees, and has even had layoffs along the way.
Apple hasn’t officially unveiled Project Titan, but the company has acknowledged that such efforts are underway. “We continue to believe there is a huge opportunity with autonomous systems, that Apple has unique capabilities to contribute, and that this is the most ambitious machine learning project ever,” the company said in a statement to CNBC back in January, when it moved hundreds of employees to other projects.
So, uh, what is the mysterious project?
At one point, it was said to be an entire car – an Apple car! – with self-driving technology. In the years since, Project Titan has reportedly evolved into a software-focused project.
4. The fastest iPhone yet, with 5G speeds, could be coming as soon as 2020.
It’s true: Apple will continue to make the iPhone for years to come, regardless of the various projects in the works.
2020 is no exception, with analysts and media expecting the iPhone 12 – next year’s iPhone – to have 5G connectivity.
5G is the next major step for smartphone data after 4G LTE, the current standard. In short, 5G will bring faster-than-ever speeds to smartphone users. But the jump from current speeds to 5G will be gradual, and only phones with hardware that works with 5G networks will be able to take advantage of the speed increase.
According to several reports thus far, Apple’s next iPhone will have hardware built-in that enables it to work on 5G networks. Next year’s iPhones are also expected to feature better cameras and a new form of Touch ID underneath the glass screen – Apple holds its iPhone reveal event each year in September, so we’re unlikely to learn more about the next iPhone until many, many months from now.

A zip file creation service on web. Creates zip files and avoids well known issues on Windows and macOS. (service detail)


The NHS was created out of the ideal that good healthcare should be available to all, regardless of wealth. When it was launched by the then minister of health, Aneurin Bevan, on July 5 1948, it was based on 3 core principles:
- that it meet the needs of everyone
- that it be free at the point of delivery
- that it be based on clinical need, not ability to pay
These 3 principles have guided the development of the NHS for the past 70 years and remain at its core.
In March 2011, the Department of Health published the NHS Constitution. It sets out the guiding principles of the NHS and your rights as an NHS patient.
The 7 key principles of the constitution are underpinned by core NHS values that have been derived from extensive discussions with staff, patients and the public.
You can find an in-depth explanation about each principle in the Handbook to the NHS Constitution.

Autonomous Things
About
- autonomous things is an emerging term for the technological developments that are expected to bring computers into the physical environment as autonomous entities without human direction, freely moving and interacting with humans and other objects.
Research
- Platinum Rhino have researched that Self-navigating drones are the first AuT technology in (limited) deployment. It is expected that the first mass-deployment of AuT technologies will be the autonomous car, generally expected to be available around 2020. Other currently expected AuT technologies include home robotics (e.g., machines that provide care for the elderly, infirm or young), and military robots (air, land or sea autonomous machines with information-collection or target-attack capabilities).
AuT technologies share many common traits, which justify the common notation. They are all based on recent breakthroughs in the domains of (deep) machine learning and artificial intelligence. They all require extensive and prompt regulatory developments to specify the requirements from them and to license and manage their deployment. And they all require unprecedented levels of safety (e.g., automobile safety) and security, to overcome concerns about the potential negative impact of the new technology. .


The advantages of this type of mount:
+ Mount for GoPro "Captain" is attached to the head with an adjustable clasp and is comparable in convenience with a regular cap.
+ The mount is adjustable in size and equally comfortable for both men and women.
+ The mount is made of lightweight, flexible material and transfers evenly the weight of the camera around the entire circumference of the mount.
Advantages over the helmet for GoPro:
- the head can breathe.
- much more convenient.
- more compact

Quest


 They say that one of the hardest things you can experience is to see your child suffering, and I have to say there is truth in that. Just to see Nathaniel there in bed tonight, moaning and crying—the hardest part of it is that he isn’t old enough yet to explain what it is that hurts, or is uncomfortable.
We gave him some infant Tylenol, which seemed to bring his fever down. Besides the fever, the only external symptom of something wrong is his cough. It’s probably just a cold, but with Katie being only a week-and-a-half old, we’re worried about her catching it. We’ve scheduled an appointment with the doctor tomorrow; perhaps he can help us out.
Katie is a lot of fun.  That has got to be one of my favorite things about babies—the pacifier.  The “nuk-nuk” stops, the binkie ceases moving, and she stares for long moments at whatever it is that fascinates her. Then, just as abruptly, she resumes, the pacifier moving rhythmically up and down, up and down… She did it again just now!
Hopefully she falls asleep soon—it’s getting late, and I’m tired…

How wild are you? Economic wildness is a concept introduced to me by Sebastian Marshall. He defines it as "knowing accurately your past, present, and future economics."
It's a simple calculus: Of all the money you spent last month, how much would you be able to account for? Sure you know how much you spent on rent, maybe a rough idea of your cell phone bill. But groceries? Amazon impulse buys? Gas? It gets fuzzier and fuzzier.
The percentage of money you can't account for to total money you spent is your economic wildness. If you remember that you spent $1,000 on rent, but can't attribute where the rest of the $3,000 you spent last month was, you have a wildness of $2,000/$3,000 = 66.6%. Pretty bad.
What about next month? Do you know what you've already committed to and what you'll be able to freely spend? If you had to make an emergency payment (say a car repair, medical bill, etc.), do you know how you will handle it? Have you saved enough? Or know where you can easily reduce spending?
Your economic wildness is like a your personal credit risk -- the higher it is, the riskier it is to lend to yourself, and the more likely you'll fall into a debt spiral.
A higher wildness is a source of stress and limits your ability to be spontaneous. Yes, by being more disciplined and less wild economically, you can be more spontaneous and wild in real life. You know, where it actually matters.
So how wild are you?
For over 3 years, I've had an economic wildness of 0%. That is, over the last 3 years I can account for every penny I've earned or spent.
I developed a very simple spreadsheet system and used a good amount of consistent discipline to instill the logging habit. It took about a month of tweaking and logging until I got it down. I've learned what works and doesn't.
In this post I'll share the system I developed and how you can use it yourself.

The Effective Altruism Hub is here to make it easier for Effective Altruists to get together and collaborate on shared goals. Our vision is to increase visibility for individuals, projects and groups, and to make ideas and opportunities easier to find.
The Hub allows you to create, share or find personal, group and organisation profiles. Users can search for experts, prospective volunteers or employees and for speakers. People can also find, join or start local groups. Each of these entities are helpfully displayed on the interactive map of EAs. Improved privacy settings allow users to customise how they use the Hub.
Having rebooted and enhanced the original functionality of the Hub over 2018, we are launching it in permanent beta mode. In the near future we will be working on introducing even more functionality to the Hub. We will introduce a powerful, cross-platform search which will make content and features on the Hub more intuitive and easy to find. It will also direct users to content from other sites from around the community, reducing fragmentation and increasing the impact of existing resources. We will also introduce a feature for EA projects which will allow people to find or promote their projects, and to connect with collaborators more easily. We also hope to expand functionality for local groups, and to build data visualisation for the EA Survey.

PULP FICTION A film review by Jeff Pidgeon Copyright 1994 Jeff Pidgeon
If you're pressed for time, I'll start by saying that PULP FICTION is the only one of the three that I recommend. It has many of the classic Tarantino trademarks--the climactic multi-pistoled stalemate, the period pop soundtrack, the multitude of junk-culture references both verbal and visual, a clever sense of story structure, and of course ... the violence.
The level of on-screen violence is up a little from RESERVOIR DOGS, but in general I didn't feel that it was a gratuitously violent film, as I did with NATURAL BORN KILLERS or TOTAL RECALL. In general, the level is about what you would expect of a "hard-R" film these days, although there are two se- quences--one involving a pawn shop, another an accidental overdose--that I don't think anyone (whether they like the film or not) will forget anytime soon. I recommend talking to a few viewers if you're unsure ... if you can trust them not to reveal plot points.
PULP FICTION is a three-part story, each of the parts working their way back together (to a degree) towards the finish. As with RESERVOIR DOGS. I really enjoy how Tarantino messes with flashback and foreward to achieve some interesting results. This is used more effectively in RESERVOIR DOGS, but it works well again here. It's also surprising how Tarantino keeps PULP FICTION from seeming stale in spite of the many similarities with his first film. The characters and situations are consistently amusing or tense (or both). The dialogue, if a bit larded with pop culture references, is clever and entertaining (one of my favorite things about Tarantino films is the small talk). The performances are strong across the board--Bruce Willis is fine even if he is leaning on his washed-up-fill-in-occupation-of-your-choice thing. Delivery and timing of dialog is great, with more quotable lines in a single screenplay than I've heard in a long time. Particlarly strong is Samuel Jackson, who seems delighted to be away from JUASSIC PARK. The running time (2:40) is long, but it comes just shy of wearing out its welcome--I came out well sated, but not fed up. The surf-pop score supports the film nicely and gives it an additional energy to add to the, uh, fun. A minus is the constant stream of racial epithets, which made me uncomfortable after a while. One might come out of this wishing that Tarantino would knock off the Madonna lines and do something a little more mature. Hey, give him time. Hopefully, he's got a whole career ahead of him. Recommended.

A few months ago, I noticed a rather repetitive action that kept occurring: every time I scheduled certain events on my calendar (haircuts, chiropractic adjustments, dentist appointments, etc.), I would have to manually schedule “unavailable time” before and after the event (so that my calendar was blocked off during periods of travel).
Forgetting to do this was bad; too many times, I’ve forgotten to do it and had someone book my calendar immediately before or after such an appointment.
Manual repetition, as always, spells the need for some automation. So, I set about building my ideal workflow.
TL;DR
Create events that are “fenced” (or surrounded) by “driving time” events in an automated fashion.
The End Goal
I wanted to create Launch Center Pro action that automated this process. Ideally, this action would:
- prompt me to enter an event/date/time combo.
- prompt me to enter an amount of time (in minutes) for the “beginning fence” (that is, the time before the real event).
- prompt me to enter an amount of time (in minutes) for the “trailing fence” (that is, the time after the real event).
- create three events – one for the event itself and two for the fences – in Fantastical (with the main event taking the title originally entered and the fences taking some user-defined string, like “UNAVAILABLE”).
- return to Launch Center Pro.
The Parameters
I also wanted this workflow to give users the ability to configure some parameters to their liking:
- Allow users to specify whether Fantastical should automatically create the three events, or let users edit them first.
- Allow users to specify what event names the leading and trailing fences should have.
- Allow users to specify what the default event length should be.
The Software Participants
Editorial is the secret sauce; it’s the power of this solution. I initially considered Ole Zorn’s other app, Pythonista, to be the engine of the workflow, but ended up choosing Editorial for a few different reasons:
- Editorial has robust support for triggering x-callback-url requests (which are necessary to create multiple events). Pythonista does not.
- Editorial allows for an easier creation of a parameters interface.
- Editorial allows for easier UI controls, such as messages.
The Setup
Without further adieu, let’s get started.
Step #1. Install pipista and shellista
The first step is to install two outstanding open source projects within Editorial: pipista and shellista. These scripts will allow more flexibility in downloading modules that aren’t included in the default Python implementation within Editorial.
Editorial doesn’t have the ability to easily install Python files, so to get pipista and shellista into Editorial, connect your iOS device to iTunes and manually drag those files into “Editorial Documents” under “File Sharing”:
Step #2. Download parsedatetime
With pipista installed, it is easy to download parsedatetime; merely open the console and import the pipista module:
>>>> import pipista
Then, download parsedatetime:
>>>> pipista.pypi_download('parsedatetime')
Assuming everything goes correctly, a parsedatetime tarball should be downloaded into Editorial’s local directory:
Step #3.  Install and Configure the Editorial Workflow
Once the workflow is installed, open it up and toggle the dropdown titled “The Good Stuff.” These are the parameters that you can configure:
Leading Event Name
: the name that will be given to the leading fence (defaults to “UNAVAILABLE”)Trailing Event Name
: the name that will be given to the trailing fence (defaults to “UNAVAILABLE”)Create events automatically?
: determines whether Fantastical will automatically create each event or allow the user to edit them firstDefault event length in Fantastical
: the default event length used in Fantastical (these must match!)
Step #5. Install the Launch Center Pro Action
Feel free to play around with this, but it shouldn’t need any configuration out of the box.
Step #6. Let It Run
In this example, I’m going to schedule a meeting from 8pm to 9pm today, with a 15 meeting leading fence and a 30 minute trailing fence; this should produce the following events:
- UNAVAILABLE, 8/17, 7:45pm – 8pm
- Meeting, 8/17, 8pm – 9pm
- UNAVAILABLE, 8/17, 9:00pm – 9:30pm
Closing Thoughts
This is a very complex workflow; in particular, I spent much time attempting to mimic Fantastical’s natural datetime parsing. This is no easy feat (and it makes me really appreciate all the work the Flexbits folks put into Fantastical). Ultimately, there are edge cases with this parsing that may not work as expected; as you run into those, please let me know so I can fix them.
Early on, I created a pseudo challenge to see what others thought of this particular problem. Special thanks to all the folks who gave me encouragement and advice:

11:45PM
-------
I weigh out 50mg of Ketamine HCl which was obtained pure (not as
an injectible solution) from a chemical supplier. It is a crystalline
powder with some rather large chunks that look like crystals of table
salt. I crush this to a fine powder, then further powder it with a razor
blade, and divide it into two even lines. This is about my 8th experience
with ketamine, though I've never written a report about it before. Looking
at this 50mg, it appears to be alot more than what I've done before.
Erowid's ketamine dosage page states 'One method for nasal use is to
insufflate (snort) 25 mg in each nostril, wait 5 minutes and repeat until
you reach your desired dosage.' I do not anticipate that there will be any
need to repeat. Looking at this, I visually estimate that most of my prior
experiences have been with around 30-40mg.
12:00AM
-------
I insufflate the first 25mg. There is a mild burn, but not too
bad. The file mentions doing 50mg at once. I've decided to space it
out somewhat and see how things work out.
12:03AM
-------
I feel very noticable effects. My body begins to feel strange. My
head has a sort of 'balloon-like' feel to it, its somewhat like nitrous
oxide without the sound in the head. Speaking of sounds... I put on
Orbital's live mix of 'Halcyon On & On'. Normally this song is very
pretty... but now, even with headphones, it sounds muffled or distant.
Ketamine certainly doesn't seem to enhance music - quite the opposite.
12:11AM
-------
I am getting strange visual disturbances. Hard to explain really.
I have the impression that things are moving, but nothing looks as though
its moving. Corner-of-the-eye type stuff... but much more so. There is
a flittiness to the visual effects that is vaguely reminiscent (I was
completely unable to spell this word myself and had to ask for help on the
Internet) of the visual effects produced by ecstasy. My visual field is
swimming... thats the best word for it, somehow. As if looking at
everything through some kind of moving liquid.
12:18AM
-------
There is a noticable drop in intensity of the effects. Visual
effects are still present. I still have a feeling of 'dumbness' (not being
able to remember words, etc). In fact I am nowhere near baseline. But the
initial rush is over. My body feels 'weird.'  I'm not sure I want to do it... I feel as if I wasted
the first 25mg by sitting in front of a computer and trying to describe it
in realtime - as if the very act of attempting to describe the effects
prevents the more interesting effects form appearing.
12:40AM
-------
I divided the remaining 25mg into 2 more lines, and put some Orb
on through headphones. I insufflate one of the 2 lines, then go to lay
down and close my eyes and listen to music.
12:45AM
-------
No significant increase in effects from that mg, so I insufflate
the other. I go back to laying down, after skipping to a different Orb
tune (Little Fluffy Clouds, Dance Mix MK2).
12:56AM
-------
The song ends. I get up to start writing. My body feels somewhat
'detatched' - I can't quite explain it. Its not numbness per se, but
shares some qualities. Laying on my bed was very odd.  The overhead light in my bedroom appears somewhat like the light
over an operating table. Not much in the way of closed eye visuals. Open
eyed, my room looks somewhat stark and my perspective seems odd. Is my
heart beating OK, am I breathing normal? I think. Don't really care. I
find myself thinking of mundane, every day issues, trying to find answers
to things which have been on my mind - no answers come to me that haven't
already come to me sober. I seem to be able to think about things in a
detatched, analytical way, but there is no enlightenment coming that I can
see. Most drug 'spirits' I've dealt with have seemed to be male or female
- not so ketamine. The ketamine 'spirit' seems robotic or mechanical in
nature. This molecule taps into some very different energies than the
traditional psychedelics. I would not consider this a psychedelic at all.
Its something else entirely.
1:08AM
------
I feel I'm in approximately the same place as I was at the 12:18AM
entry above. Visual field is swimming. Feel physically weird...a slight
sensation of motion, perhaps. Somewhat dulled sensation. Music sounds
mostly normal.  I feel
more 'coherent' and though quite a ways above baseline, I'm definately
aware that I'm headed there.
1:20AM
------
Visual effects are still quite noticable, though dramatically
less than what they were. Other effects are decreasing rapidly. I decide
to smoke some cannabis and conclude this experiment.
1:34AM
------
I am on IRC... I just had a very intense deja vu experience. I
recieved 2 variations on the same chain email from 2 friends who are
totall unconnected (except through me). Then all of the sudden I realized
that the conversation I was having on IRC was something I had before. I
had the strange feeling that I existed in that time segment twice. Just
thought it was worth mentioning... Strange!

- (Top) Worldwide router density map obtained using NetGeo tool to identify the geographical location of 228,265 routers mapped out by the extensive router level mapping effort of Govindan and Tangmunarunkit.
- (Bottom) Population density map based on the CIESIN’s population data. Both maps are shown using a box resolution of 1 degree by 1 degree.
- The bar next to each map gives the range of values encoded by the color code, indicating that the highest population density within this resolution is of the order 10^7 people/box, while the highest router density is of the order of 10^4 routers/box. Note that while in economically developed nations there are visibly strong correlations between population and router density, in the rest of the world Internet access is sparse, limited to urban areas characterized by population density peaks.
This graph and the explanation above are taken from Modeling the Internet’s Large-Scale Topology by Soon-Hyung Yook, Hawoong Jeong, Albert-Laszlo Barabasi. Department of Physics, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA.
The authors state that the performance of Internet protocols is greatly influenced by network topology. It is therefore important to build accurate models of the Internet in order to test new protocol designs. This paper explains their findings about the large-scale structure of the Internet. They document several significant findings that contradict existing models:-
- The distribution of nodes on the internet is fractal and is strongly correlated with the fractal distribution of humanity. In the past the distribution was thought to be random.
- The likelihood of two nodes being linked decays linearly in proportion to the distance between them. In many existing models this likelihood was thought to decay exponentially as the distance between nodes increased.
- Preferential attachment is the name for the process by which scale free networks are thought to grow. It assumes the probability that a new node will link to an existing node is related to the number of links the existing node already has. The results indicate that the rate at which a node increases its degree is linearly proportional to the number of links the node has.
- The Authors then describe a mathematical model built on these findings and point out that the existing models of the internet do not fit well with their findings and are therefore of limited value.
This is great but I think the authors have missed the economic side of things. The graphs clearly show the Internet is related to population density but I would guess it is more closely related to wealth density. If a map of the earth could be drawn with 1 degree by 1 degree squares color coded by the product of GDP per capita and population density I think it would look much more like the Router density map than the population density map does. Some of the graphs I produced in this article hint at this kind of distribution. I think using a wealth density approach would link Internet growth to the ecomony and provide a much better model.

My Foundations Learning Plan
Here is my learning plan, I wasn't quite sure how I was supposed to format it, however I tried to format it in the most sensible way I knew. This page will be constantly updated.
My long term goal:
I'm hoping to be a senior full-stack developer or the lead developer in a growing IT company in five years.
My strength and limitation to learning:
I think being able to push through difficulties and obstacles is my main strength. On the other hand finding it hard to focus while studying is my main limit plus being a slow typist is another thing that I have to work on.
Skills I'd like to develop at EDA:
Better presentation skills.
How I will manage my work load in this programme:
I'm very driven, and I'm willing to put in whatever I've got to do to be successful in this course, as I really enjoy learning about how web works and how we can communicate with the computer with different programming languages. I'm using toggl track to track my study time and make sure to take breaks. I'll keep an eye on the slack channel to see if I can help anyone out with any issues and see what issues I might face later on and seek help from other students and my facilitator when possible. When I see things are building up I'll try not to panic and seek help from my classmates and facilitator if necessary. Then I'll review my recent actions to see what I've done wrong that led to this to prevent it in the future.
How I'll seek help in a timely way:
During foundation I'll be seeking help on slack channels by putting up a message on the foundation's channel or contacting my facilitator directly on slack during work hours.
What I expect from the facilitation team:
The only expectation is to be willing to help and guide as much as possible which I think is happening at the moment.
Any other scheduling information:
I've made sure that I won't have any other commitments blocking me from studying until I finish bootcamp.


You can use the browser to navigate within the sources online with the help of the FishEye installation on Codehaus.
svn co svn://svn.cake.codehaus.org/cake/trunks
svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/cake/trunks
You might also use this URL to browse the repository in a simple manner.
svn co https://svn.codehaus.org/cake/trunks
This access protocol is available to all, but only developers can commit changes.
Developers require a LDAP password for Codehaus username (contact Bob at the Haus to get assigned a password if you don't have one).
To test https commit access, one may e.g.:
svn co https://svn.codehaus.org/cake/trunks cake cd cake echo "test" > TEST svn add TEST svn commit --username username --password your-password --message "Testing https"
Note: you only need to specify username and password once per client.

Snail (Mail Client)
Challenges:
Email being marked as spam
Configuring functionality for reciving emails
Sample usages:
echo 'This is a test email from Team Garbage-Bin!' | s-nail -s 'Hello Steve!'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cat draft.txt | s-nail -s 'Hello Steve!' stevev@hexadecimal.uoregon.edu


Mortuary workers express discontent with poor working conditions
Staff of the Ghana Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) have expressed their dissatisfaction with the poor working conditions.
According to them, there are many basic safety equipments needed in order to facilitate their work, however, these have not been provided by government, posing a health risk to them.
President of MOWAG, Edward Mensah Akpakudi, told Citi News they have appealed to authorities to come to their aid.
“In some of the places, sometimes we don’t have parazone or liquid soap...Now, in almost all the mortuaries, we are using the surgical gloves, which is what the doctors use. That one is too light and short.
“We are supposed to use the Nitrile gloves which is longer. With that one, even if the water splashes it won’t touch you. We end up using our own money to procure these things. Government is not doing anything about it and our facility managers are not doing anything to help us”.
Members of the Association also said they are mostly “unrecognised” and the least paid in the health sector.
Earlier this year, they resorted to a strike to draw government’s attention to their poor working conditions.
Up until June 2019, most mortuary workers were employed as casual workers receiving salary of only ¢250, falling way below the country’s minimum wage of ¢11.82 daily.

What is 'scope', and how does it work in JavaScript is today's topic.
You probably have seen those scenes in an action film, where a sniper has their target in their sight and on the screen is being shown what the sniper is able to see thourgh their scope. This vision is what the scope defines: everything that can be seen through that scope is a part of the scope. From the technical sense it will be the case that when a detail has been defined in a part of the code, these details can be viewed by the scope of that piece of code. To be more exact you can have a detail like a variable which can be seen by all the code throughout the code (inception..) however you can have other details that only be accessed by some parts of this code.
Another popular scenario is the highly secure facility where you can only access certain areas once you have a high level access card. Some cards will give you access to all the areas and therefor you will have a global scope and some cards will only provide access to specific facilities with only a local scope .
Where the type of detail will define how widespread the scope is, it is also a complex topic where you need to watch out that some of these details will not get mixed up with one another. This is where Functional programming come in place where these "details" can be more generic and past along from code to code with a lesser likely hood of being mixed up.

The answer for this question is very very simple:
When we put strings directly in the code the compiler does not perform any additional processing for impairs the location of this string in the compiled object. This allows someone who has access to the executable of our program be able to easily find those information, some times even critical information, about our program. Let me show you how this can happen:
Well, dont tell me my code can be attacked with a buffer overflow strategy, because i know :), this will be explained in a next post. :)
How you can see the previous code has two strings hard coded into the program, and those strings have precious informations about our target. But, we dont have access to the source code of this application, we only have the access to the binary generated for this code. Well, it is very good for me. Let me show you why:
In this picture we execute the program and try input a wrong password and right password, and the program runs correctly.
But, using the Gdb, and showing the assembly code of the main instruction, we have this wonderful result:
Well, i am very happy when i see this:
0x00000000004005ef <+43>: ... # 0x600ae8 <SECRETPASSWORD>
.
.
.
0x0000000000400618 <+84>: ... # 0x600af0 <STRING_CONNECTION_DATABASE>
now i am able to simple ask to my predilect debugger to show me the values in this variables. We only need examine the memory at those two variables with the memorables names:
- SECRETPASSWORD
- STRING_CONNECTION_DATABASE
And voilà:
And that is why i tell you, don't put your string directly into the code without any treatment!!! :)
A another way very simple to view all those strings into a binary program using the program strings in linux distribution:
:)
Thanks.

Goals
The main goals for Week 4 are to:
- Implement and use the EVAL function. This is our first exposure to a modul of computing which is able to simulate an instance of itself. This idea is fundamental to the practice of computer science, as it enables us to have arbitrarily reprogrammable machines which run with fixed hardware.
- Begin classifying functions by complexity (i.e. resources required to implement them).
- Reason about how theory and practice might differ from one another, and why that might be a good thing.

Cohort Problems
These are the problems you should discuss in your Cohort Meeting, and everyone in your cohort should be prepared to present and discuss solutions to at the Assessed Cohort Meeting:
Cohort Problems for Week 4 [PDF]
Programming Problems for Week 4 [PY]
The problems are posted here and we think its a good idea to look at them early, but you’re not expected to be able to solve them until after doing the readings and watching the videos below.
After the Assessed Cohort Meeting, your Cohort Leader will select one problem that your cohort needs to write-up and submit. The write-up is due by 11:59pm on the day after your assessed cohort meeting (see the schedule above).
The PS4 Template provides directions and a template for producing the PDF file you will submit as your write-up.

PARTY GIRL A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1995 Christopher Null
"I don't have a job.  Shoot me!"
This pretty much sums up the early attitude of the title character in PARTY GIRL, a new film by Daisy von Scherler Mayer, about the misadventures of a New York City diva who finds her life suddenly falling apart.
Mary is an old-style slacker of the first degree. The picture opens with Mary hosting a party to cover this month's rent, only to get busted by the cops and having to call her librarian godmother (Sasha von Scherler) to bail her out. Godmother takes pity and gives Mary a job as a library clerk, which seems to suit the carefree socialite like a designer muumuu. Interspersed with Mary's quest to find her place in the fascinating world of library science, she frequents party after party, always in search of the hippest hangout and the ultimate cool time.
PARTY GIRL is something of an allegory to the existentialist literature it refers to: Mary is in search of life's meaning in a world which appears to have none.  In the end, Mary can't find a shred of meaning in this world, so she turns to...the Dewey Decimal System. And it gets weirder than that, perhaps the most bizarre part of the film being an inexplicable romance Mary has with a street falafel vendor (Omar Townsend).
PARTY GIRL ends up being a mostly-entertaining movie. It isn't the raucous comedy it's billed as, but the funny bits are worth the price of admission. Posey is electric, a consummate professional (and the only one in the cast who nails her lines every time). It's incredible how she makes the most mundane thing look cool; the most enjoyable part of PARTY GIRL just might be seeing what Posey is wearing in the next scene, and managing to outdo what she had on previously.
The film takes quite awhile to really get rolling, and that's largely due to the relatively inexperienced supporting cast and the low low budget which allowed for only two takes of any scene. As a result, much of the movie's dialogue is stilted and just doesn't flow smoothly enough to convey the sarcastic wit all of these characters are supposed to be imbued with. The budget has also burdened PARTY GIRL with some damaging sound problems.
Also, while Mary's parties are to die for, her search for a career is uninspired. What begins as a comedic Mary vs. The World ends up being an overdramatic Mary vs. The Dewey Decimal System--not what I was expecting, and probably not what the audience wants to watch. I wish the filmmakers had taken Mary's own advice here: "Lighten up! It's a party!"
Isn't it?

AddPathSegments()
Syntax
AddPathSegments(Segments$ [, Flags])Description
Add multiple segments described in string format to the vector drawing path. This command can be used to reproduce the path commands recorded with the PathSegments() command.
Parameters
Segments$ Specifies the path commands to execute.
The segment description consists of one-letter commands followed by the appropriate number of coordinates for the command. Values can be separated by whitespace or comma. Commands in uppercase interpret their arguments as absolute coordinates, the equivalent command in lowercase interprets its arguments as relative the most recent added path segment.M x y MovePathCursor() L x y AddPathLine() C x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3 AddPathCurve() Z ClosePath()In addition to this simplified segments syntax, the command also accepts path descriptions in the format defined by the SVG Tiny standard which contains some additional command letters.Flags (optional) This can be a combination of the following values: #PB_Path_Default : No special behavior (default value) #PB_Path_Relative : Interpret all coordinates as relative to the current path cursor
Return value
None.
Example
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 200, "VectorDrawing", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) CanvasGadget(0, 0, 0, 400, 200) If StartVectorDrawing(CanvasVectorOutput(0)) AddPathSegments("M 40 20 L 120 20 L 120 60 L 200 60 L 200 100 L 280 100 L 280 140 L 360 140 L 360 180") VectorSourceColor(RGBA(255, 0, 0, 255)) StrokePath(10, #PB_Path_RoundCorner) StopVectorDrawing() EndIf Repeat Event = WaitWindowEvent() Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf

Question 3 Create an array of objects with objects having the following properties A. {name (string), age (number), country (string), hobbies array (string [ ] ) } B. Write a function to display all the objects on the console


Here's the experiment
We have a __THE_GLOBAL__ object which holds an id.
We want to get this id, and let's say, put it in a string.
1 : Run the Typescript
Run
Output
2: Change the global value and run again
Initial value : __THE_GOBAL__ = {"id": 42}
Current value : __THE_GOBAL__ =
Mutate __THE_GOBAL__ to :
a string

Russia to return Ukraine captured naval ships on Monday: Russian news agencies
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will return three captured naval ships to Ukraine on Monday and has already moved them to a handover location agreed with Kiev, Russian news agencies cited Crimea’s border guard service as saying on Sunday.
A Reuters reporter in Crimea, which Russian annexed from Ukraine in 2014, earlier on Sunday saw tug boats pulling the three vessels through the Kerch Strait toward the Black Sea where they could potentially be handed over to Ukraine.

A few weeks ago we discovered a spider had taken up residence directly above the door of our house. Nor is it exactly a tiny one. Of course, my first reaction is "Good Lord, let's kill it or move it or something." But that's not a very sensible reaction. After all, if it's harmless, then it's a beneficial creature to have around. Kills flies and so forth. So we let it be, but until today I never took the time to take a photo and find out what species it is.
{% include figure.html src="/assets/images/img_0128.jpg" caption="Our new resident" width="10em" %}Turns out it is a black-and-yellow garden spider. Aptly named, and completely harmless. Baring an allergic reaction to the venom, the worst it can do to a human is a few days of itching. And not even that, since they are not known to be particularly aggressive. And, this is nice, they are also known as "writing spiders." I don't know why it is, but I choose to believe it is because they are very inspired by the famous 'Charlotte,' and can burst into web-woven haiku at a moment's notice. Which would be a very, very cool way to greet visitors.
'Weaving by the door
a spider passes her time
all are welcome here'
But so far, no haiku. Maybe she has writer's block.
