In this project, we implemented a collaborative filtering method to generate recommendations for a Spotify playlist. Our project tackles a difficult problem of predicting a singular held out song. This gives us confidence that the broader task this project sets out to accomplish - not just guessing left out validation sets but providing relevant new predictions for actual users - is done fairly well by this model.
Of course, there is plenty of room to build off our model. While the success of our model confirms our intuition that collaborative filtering is a strong start to tackling the problem (relative to purely content or user-based approaches), it does not rule out the potential for combining other methods in an ensemble to build an even stronger model.
Furthermore, even when it comes to the general problem of playlist generation, we operated only under a singular evaluative framework: accuracy. We neglected other non-accuracy based methods, not to mention ratings evaluations which have become hugely popular evaluation metrics on other streaming platforms. One of Spotify’s MRS features is a weekly playlist titled “Discover Weekly” which aims at providing 30 “new discoveries and deep cuts.” Building such a feature could utilize an ensemble method of collaborative filtering and other user-based data such as previous listens (discovery) and content-based data such as listen count (deep cuts), while evaluating the predictions on a different metric such as novelty.
One thing our evaluative framework (accuracy on randomly selected left out validation song) neglects is order. Considering these playlists as unordered lists is not an unreasonable assumption: the majority of Spotify users are not subscribers, meaning they can only ‘shuffle play’ their playlists, effectively rendering order arbitrary. However, there are applications for taking order into account. Premium subscribers, who don’t have to adhere to shuffle play, can benefit from the order in which a playlist ‘flows.’ Spotify’s radio generation function should take flow and order into account as well. Considering the failure of our word embeddedness approach, order-sensitive recommendations would require more information from content or user-based techniques to capture the nuance of order in a playlist.
Overall, our finding that a pure collaborative filtering model yields a model that can predict an exact song almost in almost 1 out of 20 playlists should not be underlooked. When using 10 predictions, the number jumps to 13.25% which is not an insignificant accuracy score. Furthermore, its simplicity allows ample room for other methods to be added on top, an exciting prospect for the complex, unsolved problem of music recommendation systems.

Let me preface this post by stating that rarely do interactive journalism techniques, not nhyoptehticla futurism. in this blog, and try to avoid the circular but nonetheless important FON ("future of the news") discussions led by well-deserved thought-leaders like Clay Shirky, Emily Bell, Jay Rosen and Jeff Jarvis, each of whom endure endless vocal insults from an indignant chorus of old-media types unable to imagine a future in which, in five years, there probably won't be many daily newspapers left in the U.S. (1)
(This typified by Dean Starkman's logically-flawed, almost ad hominem attack of people he calls "journalism academics known for neither their journalism nor their scholarship. It's also unlike me to use a personal anecdote to make a broader claim. But this post has a little bit of both theoretical FON revenue streams as well as my own recent personal


I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away".
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou, Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low, Each like a corpse within its grave, until Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill (Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) With living hues and odours plain and hill: Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; Destroyer and preserver; hear, O hear! Thou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion, Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed, Shook from the tangled boughs of heaven and ocean, Angels of rain and lightning; there are spread On the blue surface of thine airy surge, Like the bright hair uplifted from the head Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge Of the horizon to the zenith's height - The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge Of the dying year, to which this closing night Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre, Vaulted with all thy congregated might Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere Black rain, and fire, and hail, will burst: O hear! Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams, The blue Mediterranean, where he lay, Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams, Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay, And saw in sleep old palaces and towers Quivering within the wave's intenser day, All overgrown with azure moss and flowers So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou For whose path the Atlantic's level powers Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear The sapless foliage of the ocean, know Thy voice, and suddenly grow grey with fear, And tremble and despoil themselves: O hear! If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee; A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share The impulse of thy strength, only less free Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even I were as in my boyhood, and could be The comrade of thy wanderings over heaven, As then, when to outstrip the skiey speed Scarce seemed a vision, I would ne'er have striven As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need. O, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud! I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed! A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud. Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is: What if my leaves are falling like its own! The tumult of thy mighty harmonies Will take from both a deep autumnal tone, Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, My spirit! be thou me, impetuous one! Drive my dead thoughts over the universe Like withered leaves, to quicken a new birth; And, by the incantation of this verse, Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind! Be through my lips to unawakened earth The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
The sun is warm, the sky is clear, The waves are dancing fast and bright, Blue isles and snowy mountains wear The purple noon's transparent might, The breath of the moist air is light, Around its unexpanded buds; Like many a voice of one delight, The winds', the birds', the ocean floods', The City's voice itself, is soft like Solitude's. I see the Deep's untrampled floor With green and purple seaweeds strown; I see the waves upon the shore, Like light dissolved in star-showers, thrown: I sit upon the sands alone, - The lightning of the noontide ocean Is flashing round me, and a tone Arises from its measured motion, How sweet! did any heart now share in my emotion. Alas! I have nor hope nor health, Nor peace within nor calm around, Nor that content surpassing wealth The sage in meditation found, And walked with inward glory crowned - Nor fame, nor power, nor love, nor leisure. Others I see whom these surround - Smiling they live, and call life pleasure; - To me that cup has been dealt in another measure. Some might lament that I were cold, As I, when this sweet day is done, Which my lost heart, too soon grown old, Insults with this untimely moan; They might lament -for I am one Whom men love not, -and yet regret, Unlike this day which, when the sun Shall on its stainless glory set, Will linger, though enjoyed, like joy in memory yet. Yet now despair itself is mild, Even as the winds and waters are; I could lie down like a tired child, And weep away the life of care Which I have borne and yet must bear, Till death like sleep might steal on me, And I might feel in the warm air My cheek grow cold, and hear the sea Breathe o'er my dying brain its last monotony.
Fine time.

Course description
Bayesian statistics is becoming an increasingly popular tool for scientific inference in the behavioral sciences. This course is designed to walk you through the "what", "why", and "how" of Bayesian statistics. We will begin with a review of the familiar statistical concepts of hypothesis testing and estimation, both of which form the cornerstone of statistical inference that you already know from previous courses. Then you will learn what it means to do these things from a Bayesian perspective. Once the necessary background and motivation is provided, we will walk through several "case studies" that describe how to do Bayesian statistics for several common research designs that are ubiquitous across many fields of study, including correlation, two-group comparisons, designs with multiple variables, covariate designs, and linear regression.
Students taking this course are expected to have previously taken a course in statistics (or equivalent statistical training).
Course materials
There is no required textbook for the course. However, I recommend you have access to a good statistics textbook (mine is cheap). In addition, you'll need to have access to a computer on which you can install the following software packages:
- R statistical software (free download from https://www.r-project.org)
- RStudio (free download from https://www.rstudio.com)
- JASP (free download from https://jasp-stats.org)
Student learning outcomes
- perform and interpret basic techniques of statistical inference in both a traditional (frequentist) and Bayesian framework.
- understand the basic concepts of prior, likelihood, and posterior, and describe how Bayes' rule links all three.
- use both JASP and R to perform Bayesian inference on simple one-parameter models (e.g., binomial models)
- perform and interpret techniques of Bayesian inference for common designs in the behavioral sciences, including correlations, two-group comparisons, multivariate designs, and linear regression.
Requirements and grading
- Homework exercises (70 pts)
- Research proposal (30 pts)
- Total = 100 points
Grades will be assigned based on the percentage of points you accumulate out of a total possible 100 points. I will use the standard grading scale of A=90%, B=80%, etc.
Homework exercises (70% of grade)
There will be 7 content units delivered during the 4-week session (approximately 2 per week). For each unit, I will provide you with a detailed video lecture and an accompanying set of lecture notes. To practice the concepts you learn in each unit, you will complete a short set of exercises. Each exercise set will be worth 10 points, giving a total of 70 points for the session.
Research proposal (30% of grade)
Before the last day of the course, you will submit a short research proposal that demonstrates your knowledge of how to apply Bayesian statistics to answer some empirical question in the behavioral sciences. Studies that propose replication and confirmation are especially encouraged (see here for an example of such a study)! Your research proposal must contain the following three sections: (1) brief description of the research question; (2) brief description of the data collection method; and (3) details on the proposed Bayesian analyses of the data you would collect. An example proposal will be provided early in the course.
Course Communication
This course is designed to be an intensive, interactive course on Bayesian statistics, which is my field of expertise. That means that I will be available for one-on-one consultation most any time. Just stop by my office or give me a call.
All official course communication (questions, setting up a meeting, etc.) will be conducted by email. Any time you need to contact me, feel free to send me an email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I only ask that you adhere to two guidelines:
- please include the course name (Bayesian statistics) in the subject line. For example, one good way to do this is: Subject: [Bayesian statistics] Question about problem set 3
- please use proper email etiquette.  You might be surprised how many times I get an email from a nondescript email address with no indication from WHOM the email was sent!
Also, I will be sending periodic emails to each of you that update you on course progress, due dates, etc. It is imperative that you check your Tarleton email address regularly so that you don't miss any of these messages.
University Policy on "F" Grades
Beginning in Fall 2015, Tarleton will begin differentiating between a failed grade in a class because a student never attended (F0 grade), stopped attending at some point in the semester (FX grade), or because the student did not pass the course (F) but attended the entire semester. These grades will be noted on the official transcript. Stopping or never attending class can result in the student having to return aid monies received. For more information see the Tarleton Financial Aid website.
Academic Honesty
Tarleton State University expects its students to maintain high standards of personal and scholarly conduct. Students guilty of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary action. Cheating, plagiarism (submitting another person’s materials or ideas as one’s own), or doing work for another person who will receive academic credit are all disallowed. This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure of give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers, or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student’s own work. Disciplinary action may be taken beyond the academic discipline administered by the faculty member who teaches the course in which the cheating took place.
In particular, any exam taken online must be completed without the aid of any unauthorized resource (including using any search engine, Google, etc.). Authorized resources are limited only to the official textbook and any lecture notes from the course. Any other authorized resources will be provided to you before the exam. The minimum sanction for violation of this policy is a grade of 0 on the affected exam.
Each student’s honesty and integrity are taken for granted. However, if I find evidence of academic misconduct I will pursue the matter to the fullest extent permitted by the university. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT OR DISHONESTY WILL RESULT IN A GRADE OF F FOR THE COURSE. Students are strongly advised to avoid even the appearance of academic misconduct.
Academic Affairs Core Value Statements
Academic Integrity Statement
Tarleton State University's core values are integrity, leadership, tradition, civility, excellence, and service. Central to these values is integrity, which is maintaining a high standard of personal and scholarly conduct. Academic integrity represents the choice to uphold ethical responsibility for one’s learning within the academic community, regardless of audience or situation.
Academic Civility Statement
Students are expected to interact with professors and peers in a respectful manner that enhances the learning environment. Professors may require a student who deviates from this expectation to leave the face-to-face (or virtual) classroom learning environment for that particular class session (and potentially subsequent class sessions) for a specific amount of time. In addition, the professor might consider the university disciplinary process (for Academic Affairs/Student Life) for egregious or continued disruptive behavior.
Academic Excellence Statement
Tarleton holds high expectations for students to assume responsibility for their own individual learning. Students are also expected to achieve academic excellence by:
- honoring Tarleton’s core values, upholding high standards of habit and behavior.
- maintaining excellence through class attendance and punctuality, preparing for active participation in all learning experiences.
- putting forth their best individual effort.
- continually improving as independent learners.
- engaging in extracurricular opportunities that encourage personal and academic growth.
- reflecting critically upon feedback and applying these lessons to meet future challenges.
Students with Disabilities Policy
It is the policy of Tarleton State University to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (www.ada.gov) and other applicable laws. If you are a student with a disability seeking accommodations for this course, please contact the Center for Access and Academic Testing, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The office is located in Math 201. More information can be found at www.tarleton.edu/caat or in the University Catalog.
Note: any changes to this syllabus will be communicated to you by the instructor!

After exploding onto the scene with his smash hit “Leave Me Alone,” Brooklyn native Flipp Dinero decided to come through on Friday and share his long awaited debut album LOVE FOR GUALA, featuring guest appearances from Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Rich The Kid, and fellow New Yorker Jay Critch. "I try to give fans what they want before I give them what they need… there’s a transition from hood sounds to a more universal sound: it starts with songs from the street, then love songs, to ending with songs about growth and being a man,” Flipp said of the project.
One of the tracks thats been getting some early praise is the record with Jay Critch called “Fritolays,” which finds the two NYC spitters rapping about stacking up their chips & J’s over production from Cam Beats.
Take a listen and let us know what you think. LOVE FOR GUALA out now.

Versions take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level respectively. There is no correlation between Cassandra release versions and the CQL language version.
| version | description |
|---|---|
| Major | The major version must be bumped when backward incompatible changes are introduced. This should rarely occur. |
| Minor | Minor version increments occur when new, but backward compatible, functionality is introduced. |
| Patch | The patch version is incremented when bugs are fixed. |

"Murder at the Manor" was our winning submission to the D&AD New Blood Awards 2020. It was specifically for the RARE and Xbox brief that asked designers to create a concept of a game that "helps players create stories together". Although only a concept was required, the team were able to create a working prototype that showcased core mechanics and USP's of the game. My tasks primarily consisted of the level design, the functionality of the game, and what mechanics and motives each player will have. I also acted as the spokesperson for the team and presented the game with our Video presentation. The team is very proud to win the Graphite Pencil award, but we are also proud of the project in its entirety. The University acknowledged our win with their newsletter where we all gave an interview detailing how and why we chose to enter: https://www.gcu.ac.uk/student/news/studentnewsnewbloodawards/


A middleware is used to add more features to fisherman.
Fisherman is using fastfall to build the middleware chain. It means that each middleware is executed one after the other (same as waterfall
). The chain order is determinated by the order which you append middlewares to fisherman with use()
You can break the middleware chain with next(true)
If you want to throw an error and then send a fishercode, use next(err)
An example is available here
Example: This middleware (we can call this also a "plugin") append 3 commands to fisherman
const fisherman = require("fisherman-discord.js")
const AbstractMiddleware = fisherman.Middleware;
class coreCommands extends middlware {
setUp (client, next) {
this.client = client
var register = client.createRegister('core', 'core')
register.textCommand('help', null, function (req, res) {
var message = 'This command was instantied inside a middleware\n'
client.registers.forEach(function (register) {
message += '__' + register.name + '__:\n'
register.forEach(function (command) {
message += '`' + command.name + '` '
})
message += '\n'
})
res.send(message)
})
register.textCommand('block', null, function (req, res) {
// this will be blocked
})
register.textCommand('exception', null, function (req, res) {
// this will be blocked
})
next()
}
handle (req, res, next) {
console.log('handle')
if (req.isCommand && req.command.name === 'block') {
res.send('Blocking the middleware chain without throwing a fisher code')
next(true)
}
if (req.isCommand && req.command.name === 'exception') {
res.send('Creating an exception, so trigerring a fishercode')
next(new Error('Exception'))
}
req.test = true
next(null, req, res)
}
}
module.exports = coreCommands
Can be useful if you want to manage only the client, and not handle the messages (it's faster)
const fisherman = require("fisherman-discord.js")
const AbstractMiddleware = fisherman.Middleware;
class coreCommands extends middlware {
constructor() {
super()
this.handle = undefined // set handle function as "undefined", so it will be not added to the handling stack
}
setUp (client, next) {
this.client = client
var register = client.createRegister('core', 'core')
register.textCommand('help', null, function (req, res) {
var message = 'This command was instantied inside a middleware\n'
client.registers.forEach(function (register) {
message += '__' + register.name + '__:\n'
register.forEach(function (command) {
message += '`' + command.name + '` '
})
message += '\n'
})
res.send(message)
})
next()
}
module.exports = coreCommands
bot.use(middleware) //var bot: the fisherman client
To submit a middleware, go on the fisherman discord server

Crossbow killer is found guilty of murdering pregnant ex wife at retrial
A man has been found guilty of murder for shooting his heavily pregnant ex-wife dead with a crossbow after planning her execution for more than three years.
Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo, 51, stormed into ex-wife Sana Muhammad’s home and fired a crossbow at her stomach as she fled upstairs.
The 18-inch hunting bolt pierced her heart but ‘miraculously missed’ her unborn child who survived following an emergency caesarean section.
Unmathallegadoo showed no trace of emotion as Judge Mark Lucraft told him: ‘You have been convicted of a most horrendous crime.’
His first trial was halted in April after it emerged one of the jurors trying the killer had been ‘making diagnoses of a psychiatric kind’.
The couple’s marriage had been arranged when Mrs Muhammad, 34 – formerly known as Devi Unmathallegadoo – was just 15.
It ended in 2012 and Mrs Muhammad began a relationship with builder Imtiaz Muhammad who she went on to marry.
Advertisement Advertisement
As his ex-wife moved in with her new partner, Unmathallegadoo’s hated ‘grew and festered’ and he began plotting his revenge and watching the house.
Nests of weapons – including crossbows, harpoon spears and kitchen knives – he had left in foliage near the couple’s house were discovered by neighbours and turned into the police twice.
However, each time he ‘replaced his cache with fresh weapons’ and by 12 November last year he had bought another two crossbows, bolts, a hammer, a knife in a homemade sheath, cable ties and duct tape.
Prosecutor Richard Horwell QC said: ‘Some take revenge instantly, others take their time, time for the hatred to grow and fester.
‘There can be no doubt the defendant took his time, several years, before killing the woman who used to be his wife.’
Speaking of the moment of the moment Mrs Muhammad lost her life, Mr Horwell said: ‘Imtiaz ran from the shed to the house pursued by the defendant.
‘Imtiaz then ran through the back door which led to the kitchen, shouting for Devi, who was in the kitchen, to run.
‘The two ran from the kitchen into the hallway which led to the front door, with the defendant in close pursuit.
‘Devi turned left and ran up the stairs, whereas Imtiaz ran out of the front door.

‘When outside, Imtiaz turned and saw the defendant, who was now at the bottom of the stairs, shoot Devi who was halfway up the stairs.
‘The defendant, who had been spending an increasing amount of time watching the house and recording the movements of the occupants and approaching and talking to his children, must have been aware of her advanced pregnancy.
‘This attack was deliberately designed to take place before Devi had given birth to her child.’
Mrs Muhammad suffered a cardiac arrest due to the ‘extent of her injuries and the loss of blood and the shock to her system’, the prosecutor said.
After his arrest, Unmathallegadoo interrupted officers to claim: ‘I didn’t shoot her I was shooting Imtiaz’.
When he was told he had shot his ex-wife and narrowly avoided killing her unborn baby he remarked: ‘Well that’s unfortunate’.
The moment after he heard his ex-wife had died, he replied: ‘Oh no’, and ‘put his hand on his forehead’.
Mr Horwell added: ‘We suggest that was not a genuine expression of regret.
‘He had collected and put together the necessary equipment to terrorise and hold captive his intended targets.
‘It was a cold-blooded execution by a man who had a resolute desire for revenge and who had been consumed by hatred for a former wife who had left him for another man.’

Unmathallegadoo told the court that he only went to their home to ‘confront Imtiaz’ about him supposedly ‘forcing’ his daughter to live as a Muslim.
He said he didn’t intend to shoot his ex-wife and had brought the weapons along with him as a ‘deterrent’ so he would not be attacked by Mr Muhammad who he was ‘scared’ of.
He claimed he accidentally pulled the trigger while aiming for the banister to ‘startle’ the pair.
Describing how his ‘hand was already on the trigger’ as he maneuvered the weapon to see whether the safety catch was engaged, he said: ‘While I was doing that movement, my finger was on it and it just went.
‘I can’t explain it. It just went; it discharged.’
He added: ‘I came to this trial not because I wanted to get the truth out of my chest. I know where I’m gonna end up.
‘I will live with the tragedy all my life but I will go down with the truth.
‘No one here knows completely exactly what happened except me.’
He added: ‘At that time it was difficult for me because I was still wrestling with my thoughts and I was in such a state, I was traumatised.
‘I’m normally a very calm person but inside my mind there’s a torment.’
Unmathallegadoo denied murder but was convicted by the jury.
He was remanded in custody ahead of sentence on Friday 29 November.

You do have your chain and it was free for you doing it, right?
Why would erc20 at $2500 price be an example?
Lumbi06-Dec-18 11:52 AM
@siu - Chainmakers if I added up the hours of POS64 that took me down the rabbit hole, I don't think I'd be ahead on DIY ^^
siu - Chainmakers06-Dec-18 11:54 AM
I missed you here
I got confused, dont know whar you are talking about now
Lumbi06-Dec-18 11:54 AM
DIY = doing it yourself is not cost effective
siu - Chainmakers06-Dec-18 01:05 PM
From what youbsay here, its more cost effective than paying a yearly fee for someone to actively work for a year to secure your network
Lumbi06-Dec-18 01:18 PM
365KMD/365LUMBER is a lot to ask... especially if KMD/LUMBER hit $1000. Why make things more difficult than they have to be?

jl777c06-Dec-18 01:23 PM
plz stop this nonsense
if you cant afford to pay a few thousand to secure your chain, then just run an unsecured chain

siu - Chainmakers06-Dec-18 01:42 PM
Kmd/lumber $1000 whut!

Lumbi07-Dec-18 07:30 AM
@jl777c how "unsecured" is a 60/40 PoS / PoW hybrid KMD asset chain ?
....the 365KMD already cost me a few thousand(edited)
blackjok3r07-Dec-18 07:42 AM
If you want it to be very secure make the PoS higher
Then dont give anyone any coins
Lumbi07-Dec-18 08:10 AM
@blackjok3r I'm glad duelling is not a thing anymore, otherwise I'd have to tap you with a gauntlet and challenge you to a duel sirrah!

SHossain07-Dec-18 12:31 PM
@Lumbi why not buy some KMD now? it is around $0.5 now. $200 worth will get you more KMD needed for 1 year
2
Lumbi07-Dec-18 06:32 PM
@Deleted User we've got an ERC20 called TALLY that we plan on keeping. @SHossain I am loading up on KMD on the way down to lower the average buy in price. I just don't like the additional fiat cost of dPoW.
how about a double KMD payment for the first year of dPoW?
365x2?
SHossain07-Dec-18 06:33 PM
nope. no double payment.

oh i see, I guess one character for 4 binary characters does look neater.
i see
Alright07-Dec-18 07:17 PM
utxo is unspent transaction output
read mastering bitcoin for more detail
GlorymanRTS07-Dec-18 07:18 PM
yeah, I will. thanks for having faith in me guys

@Deleted User you're confusing me, so I can only imagine how he feels right now
GlorymanRTS07-Dec-18 07:21 PM
The last hexidedimals I looked at had 0x in front of them to index it but none of these numbers have them
Its the love that counts not what is technically correct!
So is this an array? <4 bytes height> <32 bytes hash> <name of chain>
Guys, i updated komodo and cleared wallet in komodod, and after komodo didn't start.

SHossain07-Dec-18 07:24 PM
imagine the notes are utxos and coins are satoshis
but, all of them are UTXOs, even the satoshis
GlorymanRTS07-Dec-18 07:26 PM
oh so utxos are just lots of satoshis
Alright07-Dec-18 07:26 PM
Just let him read mastering bitcoin and come back with questions
both of your analogies are bad
SHossain07-Dec-18 07:26 PM
Total balance: 335.32 EUR
16 UTXOS (includes notes and coins)
each individual value is an individual utxo
based on the image ^^
GlorymanRTS07-Dec-18 07:28 PM
I read that utxos are like codes that are responsible for starting and ending a transaction? right?
jl777c07-Dec-18 07:28 PM

Just let him read mastering bitcoin and come back with questions(edited)
good advice
guessing wont lead to understanding

ok. thanks for help guys. Much apprciated.
blackjok3r08-Dec-18 01:16 AM
I did t read anything, I just tried to break utxos
That works better

Yeah. Read mastering bitcoin. Much more effective teaching. Captivating!!!
In your pocket is your wallet. Inside wallet is government issued fixed size utxo. “Packets of value”

This piccalilli is quick in that the vegetables remain crunchy by being added to the pickling liquid at the end (you do need to factor in 24 hours salting though!).
Break or cut up the veg and fruit, peel and deseed if necessary. Rinse under a tap and place in a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and leave, covered, for 24 hours in a dark place.
Bring the vinegar and sugar to the boil in a preserving pan.
Crush the turmeric, ginger, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar. Add the cornflour and mustard powder and a little of the heated vinegar and mix to form a paste.
Add the paste to the simmering vinegar and continue to cook for five minutes. Add all the vegetables and fruit and put in sterilised jars.

CSSkel is a light CSS boilerplate using most updated CSS standards and resources including grids and variables packaged in a light 12k standard css stylesheet.
No need of pre-processors, nor javascripts. Pure CSS to get a basic start your web projects.
It's based on Skeleton and Barebones and inherits their approach to be a lighter css starting point rather han a fully loaded UI framework, ready to start your building process with enought resources to be practical, but also with enought freedom to stop looking like everybody else.
If you design websites or projects from the ground you know how dirty your code may end up using the "hacks" of full flaged frameworks out there.
After 200 or 300 lines full of "col-md-6 offset-md-3 mt-20" your code start to be
unmeaningful and reiterative, full of extra <divs> only required to set how your page looks.
More than trying a better separation between html code and look & feel, CSSkel tries to get rid of such unnecesary markdown
just because a cleaner code is easier to mantain... and faster!
So why don't you sniff a little in the code of this page? If you like what you see, maybe CSSkel is right for you.
CSS is now more powerfull than ever, reducing dependency on javascript for responsive tasks as nav menus or column re-organization at different resolutions. CSSkel does not require but a simple link to a css file to do all its job, as you can see in this page.
With the CSS grid model, you can finaly get rid of the 12 column model that makes a lot of projects look the same nowadays.
The good news is that you can use CSSskel without having to get deep inside vars of full grid model, as a satarting point or for a full production project.
This is a paragraph that uses system-font
class, aimed to user interfaces
and technical documentation. It renders flawlessly using the device's font.
Use it in a single paragraph, on a section or in the body
tag for the entire document
if you are desingning an admin template.
This is an example of stylizing tables visible on desktops
Look Ma! no classes here in tables! Just plain html.You can download CSSkel from Github or link it directly with:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//csskel.com/1.0.0/csskel.min.css">
Yup. Thats all! That's the point. A single simple link and you're done! (CDN kindly donated by Cloudflare)
This is a very interesting and powerfull concept. You can change the entire theme of your layout just by adding your own :root variables after loading csskel.css. Without any preprocessor like SASS or LESS you can just re-redefine the variables related to colors and shades wthout ever touching the rest of the css code.
The default theme maintains the color choices from Skeleton, although a few very similar colors were consolidated.
Colors are based from a theme hue, which defines the normal
text color.
Additional richer
and softer
text colors are then defined.
The choice of those keywords is to prevent confusion with light vs dark themes. For example. in a light background
theme, softer
would mean a lighter color than normal
, ie less contrast with the background,
but if the base hue is dark, softer
would be darker to decrease the contrast.
You can design the colors you want in your theme using any HSL Calculator online.
:root {
/* default theme: light background, dark text, blue accent */
--theme-hue: 0; /* From 0 to 360 0=red but depends on theme-light to reveal the color*/
--theme-light: 0%; /* make it 40% to make hue color subtile visible, keep it 0 for black-gray colors*/
--accent-hue: 194; /* blue */
--text-color-richer: hsl(var(--theme-hue),var(--theme-light), 5%); /* #0d0d0d */
--text-color-normal: hsl(var(--theme-hue),var(--theme-light), 13%); /* #222222 text color; button:hover:focus color */
--text-color-softer: hsl(var(--theme-hue),var(--theme-light), 33%); /* #555555 button color; button:hover border */
--background-color: white; /* transparent body background; textarea,select background */
--button-primary-color: white;
}
CSSkel is a fork of a fork ([skeleton]->[barebones]->[CSSkel]), so it shares the "old" concept of "columns" but now using the flexible grids css structure, now fully soported by almost any browser.
While barebones do an excelent job implementing column divisions of rows, CSSkel added the concept of column spans much in the way we used to span columns back in the old days of tables used for layouts.
It might sound as a step back in the grids model at first, but the logic is this: If you need a complex responsive grid structure please forget of any framework or boilerplate (including this one) and do it directly with native css's grids coding. You can use excelent tools as Layoutit's grid generator to create the barebone skeleton of your design and then use CSSkel as a set of helper classes.
This is how easy and fast you can create a 3 column model:

defaults as 3 columns grid:
You can modify the number of columns using cols:x
class, beign x a value from 2 to 6 columns.
Using more than 6 columns isn't usable at all in terms of web design so you can finaly get rid of the 12 column
model we set back in the old days of Blueprint CSS.
In those days we defined a 24 invisible "columns" as a positioning grid for layers and someone simplifyed
the model to 12 visible columns for upcoming frameworks.
Anyhow, such column numbers where used to fine-tune widths and positions of real visible columns and elements
but never was the intention to use a 1/24 column nor even a 1/12 column on real desings.
So, to get 5 columns with CSSkel you can simply use:
class="grid-container cols:5"
.
Notice how dificult would it be to have such division on any "12/24 cols" based framework.
Notice also the clean html code you need to get the effect; just a wraping
div with grid-container
class and the next child divs will be rendered as columns without any further classes:

Uno

Dos

Tres

Cuatro

Cinco

Whenever you overflow the number of columns defined in the wrapping div, extra columns will simply be acomodated below in a new row preserving structure
This are all the possible column divisions in CSSkel using cols:6
cols:5
cols:4
cols:3
orcols:2
.
colspan:2
colspan:3
colspan:4
or colspan:5
classes in the div/col you want to start the spanning.

Rocky Mountain College, where I am a music professor, had Commencement today, and receiving one of the honorary doctorates was Ann-Margret.
When I learned this a few months ago, I was struck with a devious idea. And today, I executed my plan to perfection.
It's not every day that there will be an opportunity to meet a legendary actress, much less one whose screen magic includes one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies: The Who's rock opera Tommy. Here's the scene:
My plan: to get Ann-Margret to autograph a can of baked beans.
I knew the time to try to catch her was right after the ceremony. All of the graduates and their families would head outside to the reception on the lawn, leaving the gymnasium mostly empty except for staff who were tearing things down and a few people who would linger before exiting. Typically, the dignitaries are among the last to get out because everyone wants a minute or two with them.
So I waited, and waited, until the people around her had mostly cleared. Then I made my move. I approached her, introduced myself, and explained that I teach a History of Rock and Roll course in which we spend time talking about Tommy. I said, of course, that it is one of my favorites, and because of that I had an unusual autograph request: would she sign a can of beans for me? She seemed bemused for a moment, and then she got it, and her eyes lit up:
She asked me my name again, and started to sign the can. While she was writing, she started singing, "Sammy can you hear me.... Sammy can you hear me..." and I almost pissed myself:
Afterward, I asked for one more photo of us together. She's clutching her honorary Doctorate in Music and Performing Arts, and I am holding my precious beans:
Here's a closeup of the can I took after I got home:
Amazing experience. She was perfectly sweet and gracious and funny. And now a $5 can of beans is one of my most prized possessions.
And, a million thanks to my buddy Tony for doing such a GREAT job getting pictures!


Ock was a grim and desperate fellow. His hair was lank and his teeth were yellow. He had neither knife nor spoon nor fork. He had been pecked at by an auk. There were all sorts of things the matter with him, so he made an appointment with Doctor Jim. But Jim had embezzled his fees and fled, so Ock went home and boiled his head—yes, he boiled his own head, a rum thing to do. Now there's a story on which to chew.

Chef in Practice
The Introduction to Chef showed information about Chef and creating a first cookbook.
Here we are going to look at a few things to think about while doing your Chef development.
Generating new cookbooks
There are several aspects of a creating a new cookbook that are tedious and repetitive. To improve this experience there is the chef generate cookbook y_cookbook_name
command. This will give you great, fully functional cookbook code that does nothing. This is not a bad thing, it just may not be the exact starting point you want for yourself or your team.
Using a cookbook generator you can change the license of the cookbook, set your name and email address as the author and/or use completely different templates for things like the .kitchen.yml
file.
Making your own Chef Resources
After creating a few cookbooks you'll find you want increased functionality from Handlers or more robust resources.
A Custom Resource (before Chef Client version 12.5 these were built as Light Weight Resource Providers (LWRPs) or Heavy Weight Resource Providers (HWRPs)). LWRPs and HWRPs were mostly a collection of boiler plate code to create your own pieces of functionality in a Chef recipe.
Thankfully this process has been streamlined with Custom Resources. So if you are currently running a version of the chef-client
that older than 12.5, consider this another reason to upgrade (beyond the security reasons you should be upgrading the client...). The result of creating your own Custom Resource is instead of using package 'apache2' do ... end
you could create adobe_installer 'apache2' do ... end
instead. And inside my code, all the necessary proxies and internal package mirroring locations would be defined. Now the other Chefs at work just need to know to use adobe_installer
and all the proxy and mirroring information will be handled for them.
Handling events
Handlers are custom code that runs at the end of your chef-client
runs. You can have separate handlers for errors or successful chef-client
runs. This is often a place where you are likely to drop down in to pure Ruby code and start sending alerts or emails depending on what happened during the node's converge.
My team runs the chef-client
every 20 minutes and we have a rather stable environment, so the vast majority of Chef runs do nothing. Therefore, we have Handlers in place that whenever a chef-client
converges and a resource does change we send output of the changed resource to a room in Slack to confirm that our change has rolled out across our fleet.
Run your own Supermarket
Sharing the cookbooks you have created with your co-workers can be difficult. Well it used to be, Berkshelf made it easy for them to pull a cookbook down from a Git repo or local file path. That works great from the command line, but is not as easy to consume as a human. So the Chef Supermarket was created. And then people wanted to start running their own Supermarket's to share their own cookbooks privately. So the on-premise or private Supermarket installation process was created.
Update your Berksfile
to point to your internal Supermarket and easily consumer and share your cookbooks across your company.
The Supermarket is not the only method available to do this sharing, others including JFrog's Artifactory have replicated the /universe
endpoint used by Berkshelf to pull down cookbook dependencies from an artifact repo.
Pay attention to your Chef server key files
They are not to be shared and the Organization ones you don't want to regenerate except in a disaster recovery situation.
Ideally, the only "user" with write access to your Organization is going to be your Continuous Integration (CI) server. Upon testing and validation the change to a cookbook, the CI server will do the the knife cookbook upload xyz
command for you.
What is a Chef server Organization?
A way to group and isolate cookbooks needed for a project or app. A Chef server Organization has its own security key files and cookbooks. The combination of the Organization key file and your user key files allows authorizes your interaction with the Chef server's APIs (upload cookbook, register client machine, etc).
NEVER PUT A CHEF KEY IN TO SOURCE CONTROL!
In your .gitingore file add a line with .chef
Don't store secrets in plain text either
Speaking of keeping secrets out of source control - you'd never put your SSL cert in source control.
How to handle secret server config values you need to get on to the server but cannot put in to source control?
Data bags - think of them as name/value pairs you upload to the server and they're available to the Chef clients when needed w/o being stored in the cookbook that everyone can see. BUT!!! Data bags are stored in clear text and viewable on the Chef server web interface.
Encrypted data bags - just like regular data bags, but require an extra file that is the key to lock and unlock the data back contents. Like mentioned above, the SSL cert needs to be in an encrypted data bag.
Encrypted data bags are not the only method to store secrets for Chef cookbooks. Please read Secrets Management and Chef by Noah Kantrowitz. A top notch summary of available options for managing secrets in Chef cookbooks and when the strengths of one is better than the other.
Workout
We are going to complete the following actions
- Update our local machine to use a custom cookbook generator.
Add this to whatever yourchef gem install chef-flavor-pan
knife.rb
you are currently using
And finally - we can generate a new cookbook by running# only load ChefGen::Flavors if we're being called from the ChefDK CLI if defined?(ChefDK::CLI) require 'chef_gen/flavors' chefdk.generator_cookbook = ChefGen::Flavors.path end
chef generate cookbook atb_chefconf_2017
- Repeat steps 6-12 of the Chef workout exactly as written, including
'

- Run

| This week, we use laser cutter and engraver for several projects. | The first one is a clock designed by myself. The main theme is Mid Autumn Festival. The clock is designed by overlapping two cloud patterns with a circle, the moon. In that way, the cloud themselves will fall off because they are not connected to the circle, but the thin traces between the cloud patterns will remain and show the shape of cloud. The rabbit is cut separately and stick back. | The next one is a press fit kit. | They should be able to bite on one another, so the width of the openings should be the same as the thickness of wood board. | The third one is a bookmark.

What a delicious conceit that all the stars and fates and powers that be have a hand in our destinies, so that we can stumble across the person with whom we are meant to be through fortune alone. It's definitely escapist to be selfish, and what better way to be selfish than in the fictionalized pursuit of true love? This is definitely one of those movies where the ending is in no doubt; the joy is in the journey. And thankfully, the preview actually leaves us with some surprises!
The characters in this movie wisely suggest on more than one occasion that leaving everything to fate isn't living at all, and they are correct. It's entertaining as well to watch people who generally are intelligent and well-read and the type to scoff at horoscopy new agey kinds of intuitive pseudo-science to also be utterly captivated by the magic of their connection. It is, after all, magic that appears in a non-magical world that is the most wondrous. Seriously, how many times can magic happen in a fairy-world before it becomes mundane? It's the same kind of acceptable magic that made Sleepless in Seattle such a winsome film. Amusingly, all their rational, scientific machinations to force fate into finding each other again are nothing compared to the witless, accidental almost-path-crossings throughout this film. It's a delight to watch two charming people, charmed by each other, twisting in the fickle wind of destiny.
It also doesn't hurt that Kate Beckinsale is a dreamy perfect girl, and it's no secret that every woman at some point has objectified John Cusack as the perfect man. How could they not be perfect for each other? Instead of holding up the jam box outside Kate's window, however, John has to really get down to some stalker nitty gritty...meanwhile, the ladies are all charmed that he would go to so much effort. That's what's romantic, that passion despite all reason.
Plotwise, their interest/love/connection has to be immediate and distracting, and perhaps it's a little unfair to so easily discard their existing mates. Kate's mate is pretty annoying, but Cusack's is not. My companion wished she had been more villainized, but I disagree. Sometimes someone can be perfectly wonderful but still not The One perfect one.  If she's a sweetie, then only his predestined soulmate can trump her.
In the meantime, it's also beautifully shot with lovely music and pretty little running visuals. We sit in the dark, watching the screen for clues (like watching The Sixth Sense for the 2nd time) and wriggling in delicious agony every time they have a near miss...very nice teases. The supporting cast includes the under-appreciated Jeremy Piven and Eugene Levy, supporting and/or not condoning this mad quest, as well as Molly Shannon in a surprisingly Joan Cusack-esque best friend role. (That's a compliment).
I would only recommend it as a date movie for people who are totally convinced that they belong together, their meeting was pre-ordained, all that good stuff. Otherwise you are just planting the seeds of doubt and worry where Hollywood certainly did not intend for them to go. But it's worth the money.

| SUMMARY: REQUIRED | OPTIONAL | DETAIL: ELEMENT |
@Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value=TYPE) public @interface MappedType
This annotation marks a class as a mapped object, which will go under bytecode
transformation at runtime. Mapped objects cannot be instantiated directly; a data
buffer must be mapped first and the mapped object instance will then be used as a
view on top of the buffer. Instead of a separate instance per "element" in the buffer,
only a single instance is used to manage everything. See MappedObject
for API details and org.lwjgl.test.mapped.TestMappedObject
for examples.
ByteBuffer
. Static fields are supported and they can have any type.
The purpose of mapped objects is to reduce the memory requirements required for the type
of data that are often used in OpenGL/OpenCL programming, while at the same time enabling
clean Java code. There are also performance benefits related to not having to copy data
between buffers and Java objects and the removal of bounds checking when accessing
buffer data.
| Optional Element Summary | |
|---|---|
int |
align
The mapped data memory alignment, in bytes. |
boolean |
autoGenerateOffsets
When autoGenerateOffsets is true, byte offsets of the mapped fields will be generated automatically. |
boolean |
cacheLinePadding
When true, SIZEOF will be increased (if necessary) so that it's a multiple of the CPU cache line size. |
int |
padding
The number of bytes to add to the total byte size. |
public abstract int padding
SIZEOF = max(field_offset + field_length) + padding
.
Cannot be used with cacheLinePadding()
.
public abstract boolean cacheLinePadding
MappedObject.malloc(int)
on the mapped object type will automatically use
CacheUtil.createByteBuffer(int)
instead of the unaligned BufferUtils.createByteBuffer(int)
.
Cannot be used with padding()
.
