TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY A film review by Randy Parker Copyright 1996 Randy Parker
RATING: ***1/2 (out of ****)
(Review written in 1991)
1984's THE TERMINATOR is generally regarded as one of the most influential films of the '80s, which gives its sequel, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, gigantic shoes to fill. T2 could have simply been a rehash of the first film, but, happily, writer-director James Cameron has come up with an inventive story line which cleverly continues the plot of part one. Given the sorry state of most sequels, T2 is 100 times more creative--and more satisfying--than we had any right to expect. The movie has all the ingredients of a classic sci-fi thriller, and Cameron combines and seasons them to near perfection.
His recipe starts with 215 pounds of prime Schwarzenegger, who returns triumphantly to his breakthrough role as a devastatingly lethal cyborg. Arnold's T-800 model Terminator is back and battle-ready, but this time he has new programming--a plot twist which breathes new life into the character and allows Schwarzenegger to give a surprisingly rich performance.
Linda Hamilton's character has also undergone radical changes since the first film, in which she was fairly helpless against the Terminator's vicious attacks. It has been ten years since Hamilton first encountered the cyborg, and in that time she has become tough as nails, amassing muscles and an arms supply in anticipation of his return. Hamilton is remarkably convincing in the gritty role of a disturbed woman desperately fighting for her life and for her sanity.
The new spice in the mix is Edward Furlong, who shows natural charisma as Hamilton's son, the disturbed 12-year-old juvenile-delinquent who is the assassination target in T2. Furlong's interactions with Schwarzenegger give the movie heart, soul and--most impressively--psychological depth.
Of course, Cameron's concoction wouldn't be complete without his special sauce: whirlwind action and new technology. The movie's amazing state-of-the-art special effects (which feature the most advanced computer animation ever captured on celluloid) boggle the mind and dazzle the senses. And with his vigorous direction, Cameron clearly reestablishes himself as the one and only true master of action, even if the tumult is not quite as intense as it was in the original.
More than anything, however, it's T2's riveting story line and unexpected humanity which make it not only a smashing piece of science fiction, but also one of the year's best films.

Links provide actions, and not navigation, unless this is required after doing the action. If you want to provide navigaton, you should use links.
To mark an element as a button, it needs to have the .button
class.
Buttons come in three forms: primary, danger and muted. The one you'll need most, though, is primary. Therefore all buttons are considered primary, unless you specify something different.
Primary buttons can have different levels of importance. There are default buttons, which have the least priority, then outlined and then filled buttons. You should only have one filled primary button in a view, as it is considered for the most important action.
<button class="button">default primary button</button>
<button class="button is-outlined">outlined primary button</button>
<button class="button is-filled">filled primary button</button>
Not everything is nice and happy, though. In these cases, you should use a danger button, to denote, that an action might be dangerous, unintended, destructive or irreversible.
As primary buttons, danger buttons can have different levels of importance. There are default buttons, which have the least priority, then outlined and then filled buttons. You should only have one filled danger button in a view, as it is considered for the most important action.
<button class="button is-danger">default danger button</button>
<button class="button is-danger is-outlined">outlined danger button</button>
<button class="button is-danger is-filled">filled danger button</button>
You can also use any other available secondary colors to create a button of that color (for instance, for informational or success buttons):
<button class="button is-green">default green button</button>
<button class="button is-green is-outlined">outlined green button</button>
<button class="button is-green is-filled">filled green button</button>
<button class="button is-teal">default teal button</button>
<button class="button is-yellow">default yellow button</button>
Sometimes actions are not available or should only be considered secondary to others. For these cases, it's possible to use muted buttons.
As primary and danger buttons, muted buttons can have different levels of importance. There are default buttons, which have the least priority, then outlined and then filled buttons.
<button class="button is-muted">default muted button</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-outlined">outlined muted button</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-filled">filled muted button</button>
It's possible to modify the size of buttons. We have five sizes, besides the default one: small, (default), medium, large, very large, extemely large
<button class="button is-small">small button</button>
<button class="button">default button</button>
<button class="button is-medium">medium button</button>
<button class="button is-large">large button</button>
<button class="button is-very-large">very large button</button>
<button class="button is-extremely-large">extremely large button</button>
Sometimes you have buttons, which consist only of an icon. These are often used for vote buttons. You can mark a button as icon only, by giving it the class .is-icon-only
. As normal buttons, they appear as primary/danger/muted buttons and they, too, have different sizes.
Icon only buttons should have a descriptive title="..."
attribute for accessibility reasons
<button class="button is-icon-only-button"></button>
<button class="button is-icon-only-button is-extremely-large"></button>
<button class="button is-icon-only-button is-danger"></button>
<button class="button is-icon-only-button is-muted"></button>
Co-Design has "close buttons", which should be used, whenever a notice, modal, widget, etc. can be dismissed by the user. It should not trigger any action, besides those neccessary to close the modal. A close button is positioned automatically and cannot be styled with any of the other .is-X
classes, besides .is-active
.
A close button has the class .is-close-button
, and the HTML entity &times
(×) as only content.

<button class="button is-close-button">×</button>
Something important happened!

It's possible to mark buttons as active (i.e. pressed), by adding the class .is-active
.
Co-Design also provides you with button lists, which allow you to group or collapse related buttons. Button lists can also be used for filters, where only one option can be enabled at a time.
Create a button list, by wrapping your buttons into a container with the class .button-list
. If you want to collapse them (no space between them), you need to give the container the class .is-gutterless
.
All buttons in one button list should have the same form (primary, danger, muted) and size. All buttons in one collapsed button list should have the same style (default, outlined, filled), too.

<button class="button is-outlined is-active">all actions</button>
<button class="button is-outlined">PII access</button>
<button class="button is-outlined">formal warnings</button>
<button class="button is-outlined">suspensions</button>
<button class="button is-outlined">privilege revokations</button>

<button class="button is-muted is-outlined is-active">all actions</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-outlined">PII access</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-outlined">formal warnings</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-outlined">suspensions</button>
<button class="button is-muted is-outlined">privilege revokations</button>


Sex & Death
True Stories of Beginnings and Endings
Can you think of two subjects we spend more time thinking about, but discuss less? Sex motivates us in ways almost nothing else does – ask any teenage boy why he started playing the guitar. And death lurks in every conversation about age, health, or the future.
Fray issue 3 takes on these two themes at once, with surprising results. You can read all the stories here, right now, for free. But if you like the stories on your screen, you'll love them in print. Some things just feel better in your hand.

Some "rules"

We have been using Apache and PHP. Today, we'll learn about MySQL.
We'll be looking at a lot of code today. You can download a copy to work from, as a txt file or a zip file.

Most relational databases, including MySQL, use a language called SQL (Structured Query Language). Here are some basic commands:
We will create a database for a coffee shop
Photo credit: Ahmed Rabea cc
Let's create our first database. Start up WAMP/MAMP and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ (Windows) or http://localhost:8888/phpmyadmin/ (Mac)
The default username is "root". The default password is either "" (i.e., leave it blank) or "root".
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql15.6.12\bin>mysql.exe -u root
CREATE DATABASE coffee;
USE coffee;
CREATE TABLE product (
productID int,
company varchar(255),
type varchar(255),
roast varchar(255),
description text
);
Create a new file called db.inc.php and place it in the same folder as index.php
$link=mysqli_connect ('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$link){
$output='Unable to connect to the database';
echo $output;
exit();
}
if (!mysqli_set_charset($link,'utf8')) {
$output = 'Unable to set database connection encoding.';
echo $output;
exit();
}
if (!mysqli_select_db($link, 'coffee')){
$output = 'Unable to locate the database.';
echo $output;
exit();
}
We connected to MySQL with our username and password, set our character set (the group of characters we will use), and chose the coffee database. We included some error messages as needed.
You add data to a MySQL database with a statement like this:
INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);
But first, we have to collect some data from our users
<form action="product_insert_result.php" method="get">
Company: <input type="text" name="company"/>

Type: <input type="text" name="type"/>

Roast:
<input type="radio" name="roast" value="light">Light</input>
<input type="radio" name="roast" value="medium">Medium </input>
<input type="radio" name="roast" value="dark">Dark</input>

<textarea name="description" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea>

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
We made a basic HTML form to collect some data, and then send it to the file product_insert_result.php. Of course, that does not exist yet.
Create a new file called product_insert_result.php and place it in the same folder as index.php
include 'db.inc.php';
$company = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['company']);
$type = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['type']);
$roast = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['roast']);
$description = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['description']);
We used an include command to reuse our "connect to DB" code. Then, we assigned the values from the form to variables. We used the command mysqli_real_escape_string to prep the data for MySQL, so it won't barf it back.
Right below the previous code, add:
$sql = "INSERT INTO product SET
company='$company',
type='$type',
roast='$roast',
description='$description'";
if (!mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
$error = 'Error adding submitted data: '
. mysqli_error($link);
echo $error;
exit();
}
header('Location:product_show.php');
We created a string called $sql and used it to build an SQL statement. (Note the careful use of quotes!) We then passed that string to the database, with an error message just in case. Finally, we told the form to send the user to product_show.php.

You retrieve data from a MySQL database with a statement like this:
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name;
Create a new file called product_show.php and place it in the same folder as index.php
include 'db.inc.php';
$sql='SELECT productID, company, type, roast, description
FROM product ORDER BY productID DESC';
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
if (!$result) {
$error = 'Error fetching data: ' . mysqli_error($link);
echo $error;
exit();
}
Again, we used the include to reuse code. We followed the same process as before to send a request to the DB; make a statement, send it to the DB, and include an error message. We stored the results in a variable called $result.
Right below the previous code, add:
while($recording=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$id=htmlspecialchars($recording['productID'],
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$company= htmlspecialchars($recording['company'],
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$type=htmlspecialchars($recording['type'],
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$roast=htmlspecialchars($recording['roast'],
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$description=htmlspecialchars($recording['description'],
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
echo $company . ' ';
echo $type . ' ';
echo $roast . ' ';
echo $description . '
';
}
echo 'Return to home.'
Return of the loop! We used a while loop to go through the results and put them out on the screen. The htmlspecialchars function helps clean the data. Then, we added a link back to the home page.

The OData protocol exposes a uniform service interface to operate on collections of structured and unstructured data. [OData-Operations] enumerates the set of operations supported by the uniform interface and describes a means to send one operation per HTTP request.
This document builds on the [OData-Operations] document and describes how an OData implementation can optionally support executing multiple operations sent in a single HTTP request through the use of Batching. This document covers both how Batch operations are represented and processed.
The OData service interface has a fixed number of operations that have uniform meaning across all the resources it can act on. These operations are retrieve, create, update and delete and they map to the GET, POST, PUT and DELETE HTTP methods. Clients query to retrieve a feed, entry, or service document by issuing an HTTP GET request against its URI as described in [OData-Operations] . Clients insert, update, and delete a feed, entry or service document by issuing a POST, PUT or DELETE request against its URI as described in [OData-Operations] .
An OData Batch Request is represented as a Multipart MIME v1.0 message [RFC2046], a standard format allowing the representation of multiple parts, each of which may have a different content type, within a single request.
Batch requests allow grouping multiple operations, as described in [OData-Operations] , into a single HTTP request payload.
Batch Requests are submitted as a single HTTP POST request to the $batch endpoint of a service as described in [OData-URI]. The batch request must contain a Content-Type header specifying a content type of "multipart/mixed" and a boundary specification. The example below shows a GUID as a boundary and "OData/OData.svc" for the URI of the service. <Batch Request Body> is defined in the Batch Request Body section below.
POST OData/OData.svc/$batch HTTP/1.1 Host: services.odata.org DataServiceVersion: 1.0 MaxDataServiceVersion: 2.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b <Batch Request Body>
Note: The batch request boundary must be quoted if it contains any of the following special characters :
( ) < > @ , ; : / " [ ] ? =
In addition to the Content-Type header, the Batch request may contain DataServiceVersion headers or other HTTP Headers which apply to the entire Batch Request as appropriate. In the example above, DataServiceVersion has a value of 1.0 representing the version of the OData specification used to generate the request, and MaxDataServiceVersion has a value of 2.0 representing the maximum response version the client is prepared to accept.
The body of a Batch Request is made up of an ordered series of retrieve operations (as described in [OData-Operations] ) and/or ChangeSets. A ChangeSet is an atomic unit of work that is made up of an unordered group of one or more of the insert, update or delete operations described in [OData:Operations]. ChangeSets cannot contain retrieve requests and cannot be nested (i.e. a ChangeSet cannot contain a ChangeSet).
In the Batch request body, each retrieve request and ChangeSet is represented as a distinct MIME part and is separated by the boundary marker defined in the Content-Type header of the request. The contents of the MIME part which represents a ChangeSet is itself a multipart MIME document with one part for each operation that makes up the ChangeSet.
Each MIME part representing a retrieve request or ChangeSet within the Batch includes both Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding MIME headers as seen in the examples below. The batch request boundary is the name specified in the Content-Type Header for the batch.
The example below shows a sample batch request that contains the following operations in the order listed:
Note: In the example, request bodies are excluded in favor of English descriptions inside '<>' brackets to simplify the example.
POST /service/$batch HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary GET /service/Customers('ALFKI') HTTP/1.1 Host: host --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Length: ### --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary POST /service/Customers HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry Content-Length: ### <AtomPub representation of a new Customer> --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary PUT /service/Customers('ALFKI') HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: application/json If-Match: xxxxx Content-Length: ### <JSON representation of Customer ALFKI> --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621-- --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary GET service/Products HTTP/1.1 Host: host --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b--
If a MIME part representing an Insert request within a ChangeSet includes a Content-ID header, then the new entity may be referenced by subsequent requests within the same ChangeSet by referring to the Content-ID value prefixed with a "$" character. When used in this way, $<contentIdValue> acts as an alias for the Resource Path that identifies the new entity.
The example below shows a sample batch request that contains the following operations in the order listed:
POST /service/$batch HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Length: ### --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-ID: 1 POST /service/Customers HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry Content-Length: ### <AtomPub representation of a new Customer> --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary POST $1/Orders HTTP/1.1 Host: host Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry Content-Length: ### <AtomPub representation of a new Order> --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621-- --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b--
Requests within a batch are evaluated according to the same semantics used when the request appears outside of the context of a batch.
The order of ChangeSets and retrieve requests within a Batch request is significant as it states the order in which the service processes the components of the Batch. The order of requests within a ChangeSet is not significant such that a service may process the requests within a ChangeSet in any order.
All operations in a ChangeSet represent a single change unit so the server must successfully process and apply all the requests in the ChangeSet or else apply none of the requests in the ChangeSet. It is up to the service to define rollback semantics to undo any requests within a ChangeSet that may have been applied before another request in that same ChangeSet failed and thereby honor this all-or-nothing requirement.
If the set of HTTP Request headers of a Batch request are valid (the Content-Type is set to multipart/mixed, etc.) the server returns a 202 Accepted HTTP response code to indicate that the request has been accepted for processing, but that the processing has not yet been completed. The requests within the Batch request body may subsequently fail or be malformed; however, this mechanism enables clients of a Batch implementation to stream the results of a Batch request without having to first wait for all requests to be processed.
If the service receives a Batch request with an invalid set of headers it returns a 4xx response code and no further processing of the batch is performed.
The format of the Batch Response mirrors that of the Batch request as described by the following subsections.
The batch response, as shown in the example below, must contain a Content-Type header specifying a content type of multipart/mixed and a batch boundary specification which may be different than the batch boundary that was used in the corresponding request.
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted DataServiceVersion: 1.0 Content-Length: 1254 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b
Within the body of the batch response is a response for each retrieve request and ChangeSet that was in the associated Batch request. The order of responses in the response body must match the order of requests in the Batch request. Each response includes a Content-Type header with a value of "application/http", and a Content-Transfer-Encoding MIME header with a value of "binary".
A response to a retrieve request is formatted exactly as it would have appeared outside of a batch as described in [OData-Operations] .
The body of a ChangeSet response is either a response for all the successfully processed change request within the ChangeSet, formatted exactly as it would have appeared outside of a batch, as described in [OData-Operations] , or a single response indicating a failure of the entire ChangeSet, as described in [OData-Operations] .
For example, referencing the batch request in section 2.2, assume all the requests except the final retrieve request succeed. In this case the Batch response body would be as shown in the following example.
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted DataServiceVersion: 1.0 Content-Length: #### Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary HTTP/1.1 200 Ok Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry Content-Length: ### <AtomPub representation of the Customer entity with EntityKey ALFKI> --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Length: ### --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry Location: http://host/service.svc/Customer('POIUY') Content-Length: ### <AtomPub representation of a new Customer entity> --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Host: host --changeset_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd621-- --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Content-Type: application/xml Content-Length: ### <Error message> --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b--

More elements = more connections = exponential complexity
| Elements | Factorial | Combinations |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1! | 1 |
| 2 | 2! | 2 |
| 3 | 3! | 6 |
| 4 | 4! | 24 |

The number of combinations spirals out of control.
Brute force of a solution becomes impractical in finite time
Finding a solution instead of the solution.
When constraints can be applied to a large dataset the number of feasible combinations can be greatly reduced.
Maximize 3x + 4y subject to the following constraints:
This triangle represents the possible solutions
The green line represents the solutions. This is where they intersect maximally.
This is an example of linear optimisation.
Constraint optimisation is similar principal but more complex.
So they provide a tool for solving these hard problems installable via nuget
Or how I used OR-Tools. After more research I found I've used a very small fraction of what it can do.
Load in the json files
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| ingredients | Macro information for ingredients in my house |
| target | Target information |
Create arrays of macro values per gram
(Macro in grams / Nutritional weight)
I needed to add a multiplication factor to make decimals into integers
Variables are the values that the solver can change when trying to solve the problem
In this case each variable has an included and amount that determine if the ingredient is included and how much is included.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| IntVar | Integers value between min and max |
| BoolVar | Specialised IntVar (0/1) |
Variables are named which is useful for debugging.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| ScalProd | A scalar product. Multiply each side of the array with the same index. Then Sum. |
| Sum | It's a sum. Used to count the number of included ingredients (0 or 1). |
Two types of constraint
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| model.Add | This adds an expression as a constraint. |
| model.AddLinearConstraint | A range check |
It's at this point I realised I'm more doing Linear Optimisation when I looked at intellisense for the model.
I think the only unusual thing here is that you need to give the variable to the solver to pull the value out

I want to write { X and Y with .. }
to copy fields from two different structures. How is this meant to be done?
Ah: { ..X, ..Y }
Last updated: Apr 24 2020 at 19:02 UTC


P.S. Make sure your sound is on to hear audio!
The Compose view allows you use the brushes to record, edit and share your scenes.
On the bottom of the display you will find a collection of brushes. Tapping on a brush will allow you to draw with its splode effects.
On the top of the display you have access to standard playback and record controls: stop, play, record. Splode Lab works a bit like a beat loops sequencer. You start a recording and add a layer with your brushes. The sequence will keep looping over and over allowing you to add more layers.
The bloom control finds the brightest areas of the screen and adds a glow around them. Setting a threshold of 0 will bloom everything while 1 will render the scene without the effect.
Tap on the name of the current Splode Scene in the center of the header to change its title.
Tapping this icon takes you directly to the Emitter Edit view with your last selected emitter ready to edit.
Make sure you name and snapshot emitters to make it easier to know which one you are editing.
Expanding a Splode Brush will reveal all three cells. Tapping on a cell will bring up a menu where you can pick a new Splode for that cell, edit the Splode currently in the cell, or clear the cell.
Picking a Splode will bring up the Splode Selection view. Picking a Splode from the Splode Slection view will add it to the brush. Note: when you pick a Splode that is not in the Current Scene, iit will be copied and you will be asked to confirm that you want it in your Current Scene. You can then choose that Splode to be used in the Brush.
Splodes added to the top cell will only draw when you first tap down on the display, not when dragging.
Splodes added to the middle cells will continue adding emitters as you drag across the display.
Splodes added to the bottom cell will only draw when you finish tapping or dragging on the display.
Use this brush to add text sprites to your scene. Each time you tap the next word in your list will be displayed. Hold to keep text visible longer. See the text editor help for more details.

Howto test a batch source with the new Source framework
May 12, 2023 - Etienne Chauchot (@echauchot)Introduction #
The Flink community has designed a new Source framework based on FLIP-27 lately. This article is the continuation of the howto create a batch source with the new Source framework article . Now it is time to test the created source ! As the previous article, this one was built while implementing the Flink batch source for Cassandra.
Unit testing the source #
Testing the serializers #
Example Cassandra SplitSerializer and SplitEnumeratorStateSerializer
In the previous article, we created serializers for Split and SplitEnumeratorState. We should now test them in unit tests. To test serde we create an object, serialize it using the serializer and then deserialize it using the same serializer and finally assert on the equality of the two objects. Thus, hascode() and equals() need to be implemented for the serialized objects.
Other unit tests #
Of course, we also need to unit test low level processing such as query building for example or any processing that does not require a running backend.
Integration testing the source #
For tests that require a running backend, Flink provides a JUnit5 source test framework. It is composed of different parts gathered in a test suite:
Example Cassandra SourceITCase
For the test to be integrated to Flink CI, the test class must be called *ITCAse. But it can be called
differently if the test belongs to somewhere else.
The class extends SourceTestSuiteBase
. This test suite provides all
the necessary tests already (single split, multiple splits, idle reader, etc…). It is targeted for
batch and streaming sources, so for our batch source case here, the tests below need to be disabled
as they are targeted for streaming sources. They can be disabled by overriding them in the ITCase
and annotating them with @Disabled
:
- testSourceMetrics
- testSavepoint
- testScaleUp
- testScaleDown
- testTaskManagerFailure
Of course we can add our own integration tests cases for example tests on limits, tests on low level splitting or any test that requires a running backend. But for most cases we only need to provide Flink test environment classes to configure the ITCase:
Flink environment #
We add this annotated field to our ITCase and we’re done
@TestEnv
MiniClusterTestEnvironment flinkTestEnvironment = new MiniClusterTestEnvironment();
Backend environment #
Example Cassandra TestEnvironment
To test the connector we need a backend to run the connector against. This TestEnvironment provides everything related to the backend: the container, its configuration, the session to connect to it, and all the elements bound to the whole test case (table space, initialization requests …)
We add this annotated field to our ITCase
@TestExternalSystem
MyBackendTestEnvironment backendTestEnvironment = new MyBackendTestEnvironment();
To integrate with JUnit5 BackendTestEnvironment implements TestResource . This environment is scoped to the test suite, so it is where we setup the backend and shared resources (session, tablespace, etc…) by implementing startup() and tearDown() methods. For that we advise the use of testContainers that relies on docker images to provide a real backend instance (not a mock) that is representative for integration tests. Several backends are supported out of the box by testContainers. We need to configure test containers that way:
- Redirect container output (error and standard output) to Flink logs
- Set the different timeouts to cope with CI server load
- Set retrial mechanisms for connection, initialization requests etc… for the same reason
Checkpointing semantics #
In big data execution engines, there are 2 levels of guarantee regarding source and sinks:
- At least once: upon failure and recovery, some records may be reflected multiple times but none will be lost
- Exactly once: upon failure and recovery, every record will be reflected exactly once
By the following code we verify that the source supports exactly once semantics:
@TestSemantics
CheckpointingMode[] semantics = new CheckpointingMode[] {CheckpointingMode.EXACTLY_ONCE};
That being said, we could encounter a problem while running the tests : the default assertions in the Flink source test framework assume that the data is read in the same order it was written. This is untrue for most big data backends where ordering is usually not deterministic. To support unordered checks and still use all the framework provided tests, we need to override SourceTestSuiteBase#checkResultWithSemantic in out ITCase:
@Override
protected void checkResultWithSemantic(
CloseableIterator<Pojo> resultIterator,
List<List<Pojo>> testData,
CheckpointingMode semantic,
Integer limit) {
if (limit != null) {
Runnable runnable =
() -> CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator)
.withNumRecordsLimit(limit)
.matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic);
assertThat(runAsync(runnable)).succeedsWithin(DEFAULT_COLLECT_DATA_TIMEOUT);
} else {
CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator)
.matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic);
}
}
This is a copy-paste of the parent method where CollectIteratorAssertions.assertOrdered() is replaced by CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered().
Test context #
The test context provides Flink with means to interact with the backend, like inserting test data, creating tables or constructing the source. It is scoped to the test case (and not to the test suite).
It is linked to the ITCase through a factory of TestContext as shown below.
@TestContext
TestContextFactory contextFactory = new TestContextFactory(testEnvironment);
TestContext implements DataStreamSourceExternalContext:
- We don’t connect to the backend at each test case, so the shared resources such as session are created by the backend test environment (test suite scoped). They are then passed to the test context by constructor. It is also in the constructor that we initialize test case backend resources such as test case table.
- close() : drop the created test case resources
- getProducedType(): specify the test output type of the source such as a test Pojo for example
- getConnectorJarPaths(): provide a list of attached jars. Most of the time, we can return an empty list as maven already adds the jars to the test classpath
- createSource(): here we create the source as a user would have done. It will be provided to the test cases by the Flink test framework
- createSourceSplitDataWriter(): here we create an ExternalSystemSplitDataWriter responsible for writing test data which comes as a list of produced type objects such as defined in getProducedType()
- generateTestData(): produce the list of test data that will be given to the ExternalSystemSplitDataWriter. We must make sure that equals() returns false when 2 records of this list belong to different splits. The easier for that is to include the split id into the produced type and make sure equals() and hashcode() are properly implemented to include this field.
Contributing the source to Flink #
Lately, the Flink community has externalized all the connectors to external repositories that are sub-repositories of the official Apache Flink repository. This is mainly to decouple the release of Flink to the release of the connectors. To distribute the created source, we need to follow this official wiki page .
Conclusion #
This concludes the series of articles about creating a batch source with the new Flink framework. This was needed as, apart from the javadocs, the documentation about testing is missing for now. I hope you enjoyed reading and I hope the Flink community will receive a source PR from you soon :)


I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) Rated R for strong, graphic violence, terror, and language. --------- Out of 4 stars: *** (3 Stars)
Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr., Anne Heche, and Johnny Galecki.
Some movies are meant for entertainment purposes only.  I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is one of these films. The acting is quite good for a film of this genre, but the writing is very mediocre, bordering on hideous. Based on Lois Duncan's revered novel, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER's story is changed dramatically on the transition from novel to screen. Instead of being a psychologically probing teenage story, LAST SUMMER ends up as a horror film, with some psychological moments in the first hour. In fact, the first hour is very well done, with characters you get to know and like, and some you don't like, and that is when screenwriter Kevin Williamson shifts the mood to horror.
I have no objections to the alteration, but I will say that much of his writing is rather cheesy at times. This is quite unusual coming from the writer of the highest-grossing horror film SCREAM. What made that film such a success though, was the smart, ironic take on the teen slasher genre. LAST SUMMER doesn't exactly make fun of motion pictures as SCREAM did (I think the closest example was when a character commented, "Jodie Foster did this in a movie..."), and sometimes it uses the cliches talked about in Williamson's previous film. But what makes LAST SUMMER work isn't exactly the writing. The plot is the high point of the script, with the dialogue being the lowest, but the cast makes up for a lot of the plot holes left (and there are quite a few). However, actors can never cover up every single plot hole, no matter how good they are. Thankfully, the direction by Jim Gillespie is usually well done, creating a lot of suspense and terror.
 His solitude creates tension on the screen from the start, as we begin to dread the fate of this character. However, it doesn't turn out as you might think, as fireworks break the silence. The annual Croaker Festival is occuring, and the highlight of the evening is the Croaker Queen Pageant, as a few high school students perform and answer questions in their swimming suits (a crack at the Miss America Pageant?). One of these students is Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), whose answer to her question is a very funny spoof of beauty pageants. Helen wins, obviously, and becomes the year's Croaker Queen (a very nice foreshadowing effect, I might add). Her three friends best friends, Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Barry Cox (Ryan Phillippe), and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.), all sit in the balcony and cheer.
After the crowning and party, the four jump in a car and race to the beach to tell stories about killers with hooks (the foreshadowing is almost overwhelming). They all have sex, and then drive home. Turning a curve, Ray is distracted by Barry and doesn't see the shadowy figure whom they mow down with the car. After dumping the nearly dead body into the ocean, the four have to struggle with their consciences, changing their lives forever. Julie takes it the hardest, and she becomes the central character of the film. A year passes, and Julie is nearly flunking out of college. Her roommate suggests that she go home to take a break from college and "get a tan." At home, she receives a mysterious letter, with "I Know What You Did Last Summer" printed on it. She contacts all of her friends again, and they begin a search of who could know. The most obvious would be Max (Johnny Galecki) who drove by the scene of the accident.
Very quickly, bodies start piling up, and Julie and her friends begin a race of survival and mystery. Who is the killer? Could it be the dead victim himself? All these questions are answered, rather insufficiently because we, the audience, are never given a chance to figure out for ourselves who is doing it (something SCREAM did very well). However, the mystery is not really an essential part of the film. The purpose of LAST SUMMER is to gross audiences out and scare us while doing it. The film succeeds at this basic premise quite well, and so I am giving the movie a recommendation.  Many critics claim that the characters are unoriginal and uninspired, but I assume that that is exactly what Williamson's intentions were. Unfortunately, there is really only one interesting male figure in the film, Max, the friendly fisherman, but he is left in the shadow of the four stars.
Kevin Williamson's screenplay manages many scary moments, along with a truly suspenseful highlight, which lasts around ten minutes. After watching LAST SUMMER, I realized that true suspense isn't watching someone being chased around by a mysterious killer (although that extended sequence is the highlight aforementioned). True suspense is expecting something to happen and then waiting for it to occur. You know someone is going to jump out of the shadows, but who will it be, and when will it happen? Sometimes, it doesn't occur at all, and the suspense lingers as we continue to expect it. Director Jim Gillespie is no Wes Craven, but he does manage to create some genuine suspense, along with several of those "jump" moments that we all know and love. Unfortunately, many scenes create unintentional humor because the writing requires one thing, while Gillespie does another. Williamson does write a very intelligent first half, which deals with the guilty consciences of the friends. This setup gives the audience an emotional connection with the characters, making us care for them as they are stalked.
The cast is one of the best parts of the film. Jennifer Love Hewitt is obviously the main character here, although one might think director Gillespie was trying to give Sarah Michelle Gellar the starring credit. Hewitt's presence is very reminiscient of Neve Campbell's role in SCREAM, but Hewitt's reaction to every situation seems appropriate and accurate. I liked her character, and Hewitt added a lot to it.  Gellar, from TV's "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," seems like a perfect choice for this role, and she adds more depth to the shallow character than required. I'm not sure if we were supposed to care for the character, but with Gellar in the role, I dreaded the entire chase sequence involving her and the killer.  Ryan Phillippe is good as his cliched character, but we never are very clear on what his intentions are. Anne Heche gives a very good performance, although listening to her talk, I began to realize that none of the other characters had Southern accents. Heche is given a small shred of a role, but she does a lot with it. Johnny Galecki portrays the only male figure that I liked in the movie. Galecki has a very unclear role, and this uncertainty gives us yet another character to add to the list of possible killers.
 Because the film is based on a novel, I forgave the killer's choice of weapon. I kept expecting one of the characters to remark on how similar this is to CANDYMAN, the frightening 1992 horror film. Normally I don't like humor in a slasher film like this (I didn't really appreciate the over-the-top performance in SCREAM), but this film certainly could have used some. LAST SUMMER isn't scary enough to make you scream, and as a result, should have added humor to make it more entertaining. For what it is though, this film certainly is fun to watch.

Atomic design is a methodology composed of five distinct stages working together to create interface design systems in a more deliberate and hierarchical manner.
Atoms serve as the foundational building blocks that comprise all our user interfaces. These atoms include basic HTML elements like form labels, inputs, buttons, and others that can’t be broken down any further without ceasing to be functional.
Run the Atomic Reactor CLI create command and follow the prompts.
$ arcli kit:gen atom
Alternatively you can skip the prompts by specifying flags with the create command
$ arcli kit:gen atom --name button-primary --group button --dna btn-primary --style button-primary
When the command above executes three things will happen:
If any of the files already exist, they will be skipped.
The theme in this case: default, can be changed by setting the Butter config value for theme:
butter set --key theme --value "my-theme"
Molecules are relatively simple groups of UI elements functioning together as a unit. For example, a form label, search input, and button can join together to create a search form molecule.
Using the Atomic Reactor CLI to generate a molecule is the same as creating an atom except use the ‘molecule’ keyword.
$ arcli kit:gen molecule
Organisms are relatively complex UI components composed of groups of molecules and/or atoms and/or other organisms. These organisms form distinct sections of an interface.
Using the Atomic Reactor CLI to generate an organism is the same as creating an atom or molecule except use the ‘organism’ keyword.
$ arcli kit:gen organism
Templates are page-level objects that place components into a layout. An important characteristic of templates is that they focus on the page’s underlying content structure rather than the page’s final content.
Using the Atomic Reactor CLI to create a template is similar to creating an atom, molecule, or organism except use the ‘template’ keyword and don’t worry about setting the group as all templates will be grouped under the ‘Templates’ section of the menu.
$ arcli kit:gen template

Sorry to contact you in this manner. Difficulties encountered in efforts to secure funds inherited from my fathers business reserve, necessitate this search for someone to assist me. My name is Mohammed Abacha, the heir of the abacha family, and son to Sani Abacha, the Late Nigerian Head of State. I am presently undergoing trial in Abuja though have just been recently granted bail under the condition that my family refunds to the Federal Government some money held in accounts in Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Jersey and in Switzerland. In return, all criminal proceedings against members of my family be dropped ( a deal which was brokered by the international community). To save the family from total bankruptcy I have managed to ship through a courier company, the sum of US$12, 000,000.00, kept by my late father. This money has become the only inherited property of our family since the government and its loyalists are bent on making life difficult for us by freezing all the family account and has auctioned most of our properties. The money has since been deposited with a private finance and security firm in Europe. I am willing to offer a percentage agreeable to you. All other information required to secure the funds will be given to you pending a positive response. A quick reply with your name,telephone and fax numbers will be highly appreciated.

The Vibe of the City
URBAN VIBRANCY
Urban Vibrancy is the study associated with activity intensity, the diversity of land-use configurations, and the accessibility of a place. During our 3rd term our main research focus was to define Urban Vibrancy, find ways to accurately measure it and inform our design decisions from the conclusions.
The dataset
One of the indicators of Urban Vibrancy is the presence and the movement of people in a place. Our focus area is Sant Marti, one district of Barcelona, where the 22@ program is implemented. For this reason, the area contains activities of all kinds, from leisure to work to residency related. In order to understand the movement of people in the area we used GPS related data from November of 2019. There are entries for 7 whole days, from Monday, the 18th of November to Sunday the 24th of November in the dataset. The first intention was to understand how many people move in the study area. We visualized the number of people moving every day from 00:00 to 23:40. Time is separated every 10 minutes.
In addition, we wanted to understand better when this movement occurred. Below, it is shown how many people moved during the day (06:00 – 18:00) and night(18:00 – 06:00), for the 7 days of the week.
From the diagram we can understand that people move more during Friday and the weekend, both at day and at night. The biggest percentage of people moving in the area was on Saturday during the day.
Finally, in order to understand the places where people move more, moving pandas1has been used to identify specific trajectories and flows in the study area.
(disclaimer: For better visualization, we used a dataset of 10 Ids. )
MAPPING THE STOPS
Urban Vibrancy is not only about the presence of people but most importantly about the activity of people. Besides the good urban form, a place can be vibrant based on the mixture of activities that it contains.
Through the dataset we analyzed we could also identify the stops of people, and based on time we could categorize them on the reason behind the stop. Since our studio, in terms of people, focuses more on the urban vibrancy of the ground level we decided to filter the stops that are from 1 to 3h maximum. Most probably a stop of 1 to 3 hours identifies access to services, amenities or leisure.
On the same way as before, we also needed to understand where people stop. In the map below we can see where people tend to stop more for 1 to 3h. Based on our analysis, we can conclude that the most visited places are:
–During the weekend : Jardins de Josep Trueta, the center of Rambla del PobleNou, near Llacuna metro station and near Glories.
–During the week days: Jardins de Josep Trueta, the center of Rambla del PobleNou, Glories, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and the Industrial Park. However, in the map of the weekdays we can see that the concentration of people is more distributed, and in many cases it is around offices, nursery schools, sports centers etc.
Finally, we wanted to see why people stop at these places. In order to do that we wanted to check how close these places are to services and amenities or open spaces. To do so, we mapped the total heatmap of people stops in Sant Marti comparing it to the amenities that the area offers. As we can see, most of the amenities are near a small or big cluster of stops of people. In this way, we can conclude that our hypothesis on 1 to 3h can be validated from our analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
After our analysis, we can understand the vibe of the people in Sant Marti, for the specific dates. The flows and the stops actually give us a pretty whole picture on the how and the why of movement of people. As a next step on this project, we would like to expand our analysis for other days, even comparing it with data during and after the pandemic, to understand how this affected the flows of the people. Besides that, the conclusions we reached will be beneficiary for our studio project as well, where we develop metrics to measure efficiently Urban Vibrancy. Lastly, we believe that the most important conclusion from this class is that working with data can really help the part of designing and decision making. The tools we were introduced through the year are an important knowledge for data analysis and visualization.

INSEAD Data Analytics Group Project
The client is the second largest global diversified chemical company in the world, with over $50 billion in revenue. The client manufactures chemicals, fertilizers, metals, and plastics in more than 60 locations around the world. The clients' innovative plastics business is committed to collaborating with customers to leverage the extensive product portfolio of thermoplastic resins, coatings, specialty compounds, film, and sheet materials as well as the broad industry expertise.
In 2013 the company held a customer survey to understand the needs for companies to select a plastics material supplier. In total almost 1800 customers were interviewed.
The survey covered 20 different needs that were tested on their importance in driving choice.
Respondents of the survey ranked these needs with a Max-Diff method. The result is a quantitative ranking of needs for selecting a plastics material supplier. Within a respondent we calculated the relative importance for each of the 20 needs. The relative importance within a respondent will add up to 100%. That means for example that a Max-Diff score of 15.4 for the need 'material quality' drives 15.4% of the choice for that specific respondent.
For the top 5 needs of their ranking, the respondent was asked more detailed questions to understand their specific needs.
The survey results are provided anonymously in the attached excel file. Customer names and specific customer needs are not mentioned. The data set does include the following variables:
Data set Respondent number (there could be more than one respondent in one company) Company number Pole (Europe, America, APAC) Type of function of the respondent Place in value chain Max_Diff relative importance of the 20 needs mentioned above (Need_1 to Need_20) Behavioral information (20)
The behavioral variables are either binary or measured on a 5-point scale: a) The 5 point-scale is defined as:
Very unlikely = 1 Unlikely = 2 Do not know = 3 Likely = 4 Very likely = 5
b) The binary scale is defined as:
Yes = 1 No = 0
Identify key input variables for the segmentation using through factor analysis. Teams should consider running several factor analyses (e.g. one for needs and one for behaviors).
Identify segments based on survey outcome. Analyze the provided data set and identify number of segments (2-5) which represent clusters with specific and differentiated needs.
Develop a model for placing specific customer in one of the segments. The model should be based on the data provided. What is the accuracy of this model?
Analyze what additional data would be needed? What kind of information should be gathered in a possible new customer survey?

Alex Kuck and Nick Skelsey produced this paper as a senior thesis under the guidance of Dave Evans and advice of abhi shelat.
Recent approaches to resisting censorship on the Internet have focused on restoring access to services that have been blocked. These services, including social media and web forums, provide platforms for activists to spread information to the general public, but the services themselves are subject to manipulation and control. Instead of taking this approach, we have created a resilient platform to share and disseminate information over the Internet without a central authority. Our application, Ombuds, does this by distributing public statements through a peer-to-peer network and storing those statements in a single shared history.
This tool leverages Bitcoin's network and Bitcoin's block chain. With our software, a connection to the Bitcoin network, and a small amount of bitcoin, activists can store controversial public statements in a highly reliable and permanent place. This paper describes the design of the system, potential attacks against it, and approaches to scaling the system in terms of cost and resource usage.
There are quite a few projects from which we have taken ideas, concepts, and source code -- legally. The big ones are:
Krzystof created a specificiation of Bitcoin and analyzed the relative costs of storing data in Bitcoin's block chain.
The developers at Conformal have developed some awesome bitcoin libraries. We have used them extensively.
The original distributed version of twitter.
Another messaging tool that encrypts messages preflight.
Our bitcoin daemon and database schema was inspired by the schema PhantomPhreak created for CounterParty.
The first tool we were aware of that uses the blockchain for its distrbuted timestamp and data storage.
The intended use case of this project and ours is similar. We elected to use bitcoin's infrastructure intead of setting up our own. But if this project has interested you, then Twister should as well.

| Prev | Up | Chapter 9. Functions and Operators | Next |
The PostgreSQL formatting functions provide a powerful set of tools for converting various data types (date/time, integer, floating point, numeric) to formatted strings and for converting from formatted strings to specific data types. Table 9-20 lists them. These functions all follow a common calling convention: the first argument is the value to be formatted and the second argument is a template that defines the output or input format.
A single-argument to_timestamp
function is also
available; it accepts a
double precision argument and converts from Unix epoch
(seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00+00) to
timestamp with time zone.
(Integer Unix epochs are implicitly cast to
double precision.)
Table 9-20. Formatting Functions
| Function | Return Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
to_char(timestamp, text) | text | convert time stamp to string | to_char(current_timestamp, 'HH12:MI:SS') |
to_char(interval, text) | text | convert interval to string | to_char(interval '15h 2m 12s', 'HH24:MI:SS') |
to_char(int, text) | text | convert integer to string | to_char(125, '999') |
to_char (double precision,
text) | text | convert real/double precision to string | to_char(125.8::real, '999D9') |
to_char(numeric, text) | text | convert numeric to string | to_char(-125.8, '999D99S') |
to_date(text, text) | date | convert string to date | to_date('05 Dec 2000', 'DD Mon YYYY') |
to_number(text, text) | numeric | convert string to numeric | to_number('12,454.8-', '99G999D9S') |
to_timestamp(text, text) | timestamp with time zone | convert string to time stamp | to_timestamp('05 Dec 2000', 'DD Mon YYYY') |
to_timestamp(double precision) | timestamp with time zone | convert Unix epoch to time stamp | to_timestamp(1284352323) |
In a to_char
output template string, there are certain
patterns that are recognized and replaced with appropriately-formatted
data based on the given value. Any text that is not a template pattern is
simply copied verbatim. Similarly, in an input template string (for the
other functions), template patterns identify the values to be supplied by
the input data string.
Table 9-21 shows the template patterns available for formatting date and time values.
Table 9-21. Template Patterns for Date/Time Formatting
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| HH | hour of day (01-12) |
| HH12 | hour of day (01-12) |
| HH24 | hour of day (00-23) |
| MI | minute (00-59) |
| SS | second (00-59) |
| MS | millisecond (000-999) |
| US | microsecond<PHONE_NUMBER>99) |
| SSSS | seconds past midnight (0-86399) |
| AM, am, PM or pm | meridiem indicator (without periods) |
| A.M., a.m., P.M. or p.m. | meridiem indicator (with periods) |
| Y,YYY | year (4 and more digits) with comma |
| YYYY | year (4 and more digits) |
| YYY | last 3 digits of year |
| YY | last 2 digits of year |
| Y | last digit of year |
| IYYY | ISO year (4 and more digits) |
| IYY | last 3 digits of ISO year |
| IY | last 2 digits of ISO year |
| I | last digit of ISO year |
| BC, bc, AD or ad | era indicator (without periods) |
| B.C., b.c., A.D. or a.d. | era indicator (with periods) |
| MONTH | full upper case month name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| Month | full capitalized month name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| month | full lower case month name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| MON | abbreviated upper case month name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| Mon | abbreviated capitalized month name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| mon | abbreviated lower case month name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| MM | month number (01-12) |
| DAY | full upper case day name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| Day | full capitalized day name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| day | full lower case day name (blank-padded to 9 chars) |
| DY | abbreviated upper case day name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| Dy | abbreviated capitalized day name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| dy | abbreviated lower case day name (3 chars in English, localized lengths vary) |
| DDD | day of year (001-366) |
| IDDD | ISO day of year (001-371; day 1 of the year is Monday of the first ISO week.) |
| DD | day of month (01-31) |
| D | day of the week, Sunday(1) to Saturday(7) |
| ID | ISO day of the week, Monday(1) to Sunday(7) |
| W | week of month (1-5) (The first week starts on the first day of the month.) |
| WW | week number of year (1-53) (The first week starts on the first day of the year.) |
| IW | ISO week number of year (01 - 53; the first Thursday of the new year is in week 1.) |
| CC | century (2 digits) (The twenty-first century starts on 2001-01-01.) |
| J | Julian Day (days since November 24, 4714 BC at midnight) |
| Q | quarter (ignored by to_date and to_timestamp ) |
| RM | month in upper case Roman numerals (I-XII; I=January) |
| rm | month in lower case Roman numerals (i-xii; i=January) |
| TZ | upper case time-zone name |
| tz | lower case time-zone name |
Modifiers can be applied to any template pattern to alter its behavior. For example, FMMonth is the Month pattern with the FM modifier. Table 9-22 shows the modifier patterns for date/time formatting.
Table 9-22. Template Pattern Modifiers for Date/Time Formatting
| Modifier | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| FM prefix | fill mode (suppress padding blanks and zeroes) | FMMonth |
| TH suffix | upper case ordinal number suffix | DDTH, e.g., 12TH |
| th suffix | lower case ordinal number suffix | DDth, e.g., 12th |
| FX prefix | fixed format global option (see usage notes) | FX Month DD Day |
| TM prefix | translation mode (print localized day and month names based on lc_time) | TMMonth |
| SP suffix | spell mode (not implemented) | DDSP |
Usage notes for date/time formatting:
FM suppresses leading zeroes and trailing blanks that would otherwise be added to make the output of a pattern be fixed-width. In PostgreSQL, FM modifies only the next specification, while in Oracle FM affects all subsequent specifications, and repeated FM modifiers toggle fill mode on and off.
TM does not include trailing blanks.
to_timestamp
and to_date
skip multiple blank spaces in the input string unless the
FX option is used. For example,
to_timestamp('2000 JUN', 'YYYY MON') works, but
to_timestamp('2000 JUN', 'FXYYYY MON') returns an error
because to_timestamp
expects one space only.
FX must be specified as the first item in
the template.
Ordinary text is allowed in to_char
templates and will be output literally. You can put a substring
in double quotes to force it to be interpreted as literal text
even if it contains pattern key words. For example, in
'"Hello Year "YYYY', the YYYY
will be replaced by the year data, but the single Y in Year
will not be. In to_date
, to_number
,
and to_timestamp
, double-quoted strings skip the number of
input characters contained in the string, e.g. "XX"
skips two input characters.
If you want to have a double quote in the output you must precede it with a backslash, for example E'\\"YYYY Month\\"'. (Two backslashes are necessary because the backslash has special meaning when using the escape string syntax.)
The YYYY conversion from string to timestamp or date has a restriction when processing years with more than 4 digits. You must use some non-digit character or template after YYYY, otherwise the year is always interpreted as 4 digits. For example (with the year 20000): to_date('200001131', 'YYYYMMDD') will be interpreted as a 4-digit year; instead use a non-digit separator after the year, like to_date('20000-1131', 'YYYY-MMDD') or to_date('20000Nov31', 'YYYYMonDD').
In conversions from string to timestamp or date, the CC (century) field is ignored if there is a YYY, YYYY or Y,YYY field. If CC is used with YY or Y then the year is computed as (CC-1)*100+YY.
An ISO week date (as distinct from a Gregorian date) can be
specified to to_timestamp
and
to_date
in one of two ways:
Year, week, and weekday: for example to_date('2006-42-4', 'IYYY-IW-ID') returns the date 2006-10-19. If you omit the weekday it is assumed to be 1 (Monday).
Year and day of year: for example to_date('2006-291', 'IYYY-IDDD') also returns 2006-10-19.
Attempting to construct a date using a mixture of ISO week and Gregorian date fields is nonsensical, and will cause an error. In the context of an ISO year, the concept of a "month" or "day of month" has no meaning. In the context of a Gregorian year, the ISO week has no meaning. Users should avoid mixing Gregorian and ISO date specifications.
In a conversion from string to timestamp, millisecond (MS) or microsecond (US) values are used as the seconds digits after the decimal point. For example to_timestamp('12:3', 'SS:MS') is not 3 milliseconds, but 300, because the conversion counts it as 12 + 0.3 seconds. This means for the format SS:MS, the input values 12:3, 12:30, and 12:300 specify the same number of milliseconds. To get three milliseconds, one must use 12:003, which the conversion counts as 12 + 0.003 = 12.003 seconds.
Here is a more complex example: to_timestamp('15:12:02.020.001230', 'HH:MI:SS.MS.US') is 15 hours, 12 minutes, and 2 seconds + 20 milliseconds + 1230 microseconds = 2.021230 seconds.
to_char(..., 'ID')
's day of the week numbering
matches the extract(isodow from ...)
function, but
to_char(..., 'D')
's does not match
extract(dow from ...)
's day numbering.
to_char(interval)
formats HH and
HH12 as shown on a 12-hour clock, i.e. zero hours
and 36 hours output as 12, while HH24
outputs the full hour value, which can exceed 23 for intervals.
Table 9-23 shows the template patterns available for formatting numeric values.
Table 9-23. Template Patterns for Numeric Formatting
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| 9 | value with the specified number of digits |
| 0 | value with leading zeros |
| . (period) | decimal point |
| , (comma) | group (thousand) separator |
| PR | negative value in angle brackets |
| S | sign anchored to number (uses locale) |
| L | currency symbol (uses locale) |
| D | decimal point (uses locale) |
| G | group separator (uses locale) |
| MI | minus sign in specified position (if number < 0) |
| PL | plus sign in specified position (if number > 0) |
| SG | plus/minus sign in specified position |
| RN | Roman numeral (input between 1 and 3999) |
| TH or th | ordinal number suffix |
| V | shift specified number of digits (see notes) |
| EEEE | exponent for scientific notation |
Usage notes for numeric formatting:
A sign formatted using SG, PL, or MI is not anchored to the number; for example, to_char(-12, 'MI9999') produces '- 12' but to_char(-12, 'S9999') produces ' -12'. The Oracle implementation does not allow the use of MI before 9, but rather requires that 9 precede MI.
9 results in a value with the same number of digits as there are 9s. If a digit is not available it outputs a space.
TH does not convert values less than zero and does not convert fractional numbers.
PL, SG, and TH are PostgreSQL extensions.
V effectively
multiplies the input values by
10^n, where
n is the number of digits following
V.
to_char
does not support the use of
V combined with a decimal point
(e.g., 99.9V99 is not allowed).
EEEE (scientific notation) cannot be used in combination with any of the other formatting patterns or modifiers other than digit and decimal point patterns, and must be at the end of the format string (e.g., 9.99EEEE is a valid pattern).
Certain modifiers can be applied to any template pattern to alter its behavior. For example, FM9999 is the 9999 pattern with the FM modifier. Table 9-24 shows the modifier patterns for numeric formatting.
Table 9-24. Template Pattern Modifiers for Numeric Formatting
| Modifier | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| FM prefix | fill mode (suppress padding blanks and zeroes) | FM9999 |
| TH suffix | upper case ordinal number suffix | 999TH |
| th suffix | lower case ordinal number suffix | 999th |

The things we remember are moments like any other, only later do they make themselves known by their scars - La Jetee

The reduction of things to raw numbers becomes a form of control that allows complete abdication of responsibility.

Artists don't 'make' classics. Artists leave classics unfinished. Time does the rest of the work.

Machine learning is metal-beating. Brilliant people have done remarkable things with it. But the idea that if we just get better at statistical inference, consciousness will fall out of it is wishful thinking. It's premise for a science fiction novel, not a plan for the future. I don't see any path from continuous improvements to the (admittedly impressive) 'machine learning' field that leads to a general AI any more than I can see a path from continuous improvements in horse-breeding that leads to an internal combustion engine.

The problem with the marketplace of ideas, as with the commercial marketplace of classical and neoclassical economics on which it is modelled, is that it treats each participant in the marketplace as de facto engaging in exchange on equal terms. There is a dangerous childlikeness in its insistence that anyone can come and argue, and everything will be considered from scratch, treating everyone as equals.
-
Activists need to appreciate that resistance in periods of reaction is perhaps even more difficult and important than participating in the high points, the moments when revolution seems just around the corner... the struggle is going to take all of our lives, not just a few exciting, hectic years.
-
Any array of objects is always an extremely fragmentary presentation of the true life of a people. For this reason, any attempt to present ecological data or a systematic classification of specimens will not only be artificial, but will be entirely misleading.

Radical politics is about the abstract because it's trying to draft a world that's not yet quite real - a future world, a fairer world, a better world, a different world.

No one is going to save this stuff but all of us. There is no path in the capitalist system to preserve games in a way that will please the legal fetishists.
