GtkMenuItem implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkActivatable and GtkActionable.
The GtkMenuItem widget and the derived widgets are the only valid children for menus. Their function is to correctly handle highlighting, alignment, events and submenus.
As a GtkMenuItem derives from GtkBin it can hold any valid child widget, although only a few are really useful.
By default, a GtkMenuItem sets a GtkAccelLabel as its child. GtkMenuItem has direct functions to set the label and its mnemonic. For more advanced label settings, you can fetch the child widget from the GtkBin.
An example for setting markup and accelerator on a MenuItem:
1 2 3 |
GtkWidget *child = gtk_bin_get_child (GTK_BIN (menu_item)); gtk_label_set_markup (GTK_LABEL (child), "new label with markup"); gtk_accel_label_set_accel (GTK_ACCEL_LABEL (child), GDK_KEY_1, 0); |
The GtkMenuItem implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding a submenu by specifying “submenu” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.
An example of UI definition fragment with submenus:
1 2 3 4 5 |
<object class="GtkMenuItem"> <child type="submenu"> <object class="GtkMenu"/> </child> </object> |
GtkWidget *
gtk_menu_item_new_with_label (const gchar *label
);
Creates a new GtkMenuItem whose child is a GtkLabel.
GtkWidget *
gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic (const gchar *label
);
Creates a new GtkMenuItem containing a label.
The label will be created using gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()
,
so underscores in label
indicate the mnemonic for the menu item.
void gtk_menu_item_set_right_justified (GtkMenuItem *menu_item

);
gtk_menu_item_set_right_justified
has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.
If you insist on using it, use
gtk_widget_set_hexpand()
and gtk_widget_set_halign()
.
Sets whether the menu item appears justified at the right side of a menu bar. This was traditionally done for “Help” menu items, but is now considered a bad idea. (If the widget layout is reversed for a right-to-left language like Hebrew or Arabic, right-justified-menu-items appear at the left.)

void gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (GtkMenuItem *menu_item
,GtkWidget *submenu
);
Sets or replaces the menu item’s submenu, or removes it when a NULL
submenu is passed.
GtkWidget *
gtk_menu_item_get_submenu (GtkMenuItem *menu_item
);
Gets the submenu underneath this menu item, if any.
See gtk_menu_item_set_submenu()
.
void gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path (GtkMenuItem *menu_item
,const gchar *accel_path
);
Set the accelerator path on menu_item
, through which runtime
changes of the menu item’s accelerator caused by the user can be
identified and saved to persistent storage (see gtk_accel_map_save()
on this). To set up a default accelerator for this menu item, call
gtk_accel_map_add_entry()
with the same accel_path
. See also
gtk_accel_map_add_entry()
on the specifics of accelerator paths,
and gtk_menu_set_accel_path()
for a more convenient variant of
this function.
This function is basically a convenience wrapper that handles
calling gtk_widget_set_accel_path()
with the appropriate accelerator
group for the menu item.
Note that you do need to set an accelerator on the parent menu with
gtk_menu_set_accel_group()
for this to work.
Note that accel_path
string will be stored in a GQuark.
Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory
by interning it first with g_intern_static_string()
.

Blocks
问题描述 :
Panda has received an assignment of painting a line of blocks. Since Panda is such an intelligent boy, he starts to think of a math problem of painting. Suppose there are N blocks in a line and each block can be paint red, blue, green or yellow. For some myterious reasons, Panda want both the number of red blocks and green blocks to be even numbers. Under such conditions, Panda wants to know the number of different ways to paint these blocks.
输入:
The first line of the input contains an integer T(1≤T≤100), the number of test cases. Each of the next T lines contains an integer N(1≤N≤10^9) indicating the number of blocks.
输出:
For each test cases, output the number of ways to paint the blocks in a single line. Since the answer may be quite large, you have to module it by 10007.

Panning and Scrolling are used to allow an end-user reach additional content that otherwise would not fit into a view. Elements in an app can use several types of panning and scrolling to display content:
Horizontal - User can move content left/right.
Vertical - User can move content up/down
Both Axis
Unrailed - User is free to move the content in any direction.
Railed - User motion is locked to an axis when initiated, if close enough to the axis.
With the new -ms-overflow-style property, you can now control the type of scrollbar and when it appears.


[gecode-users] question about lexical ordering constraint and others
Christian Schulte
cschulte at kth.se
Tue May 10 20:25:13 CEST 2011
Hi Kish,
1) Hmmm, never thought about that. You could emulate this behavior by
extending one array as you suggested. Do you know any application that
relies on this behavior?
2) Just ICL_DEF which is as the algorithm by Paul Shaw, see the referenced
paper.
3) Gecode always chooses the best propagator, cumulative is a good example:
if all the variables for the use are assigned it'll choose the special case.
If it is clear that cumulative is not needed (for example, all tasks require
more than half of the resource), a disjunctive scheduling propagator is
posted. This is true for all constraints: you ask which constraint you want
to have and Gecode posts the best propagator(s) it can for the constraint.
Cheers
Christian

Subject: [gecode-users] question about lexical ordering constraint and
others
Hi,
I have a few (more) question about various Gecode constraints that I am
interfacing to ECLiPSe:
1) the constraint for lexical ordering
rel(Home, IntVarArgs, IntRelType, IntVarArgs)
requires the two arrays to be the same size. It seems the same restriction
applies in the global constraint catalog for the lexical ordering
constraints as well. However, the existing ECLiPSe lexical ordering
constraints does not have this restriction -- i.e. the two sequences of
numbers being compared can be different lengths. What is the reason for the
same length restriction?
The lexical ordering for sequences of different length used in ECLiPSe seems
to be the natural one, where missing numbers in the shorter sequence are
replaced by 'bottom', i.e. a value smaller than any number.
So (using . to separate numbers in a sequence)
1.3 > 1.2.5
1.2.5 > 1.2
etc.
Could such a definition of ordering be used in the Gecode version as well?
2. What IntConLevel is supported in the binpacking constraint? I can't find
a specification for this in the reference documentation (in
doc-latest) [beyond the default of ICL_DEF]
3. For various versions of the same constraint (e.g. cumulative), some
arguments can be IntArgs or IntVarArgs. In general, does it make a
difference if I always use the version with IntVarArgs, even if all the
IntVar has only one element in their domain (i.e. they are integers)?
I guess what I am asking is if (in general) Gecode does a check of its
IntVarArgs argument to see if they are all integers and calls a more
efficient implementation for the constraint if there is one? [I was
specifically looking at the cumulative constraint, but there are obviously
others].
The reaosn I ask is that in interfacing such constraints to ECLiPSe, I
currently don't check if such arguments are all integers or if they contain
some domain variables (IntVar). I can do this check, but if it is done in
Gecode already, there is no reason for me to do so.
Thanks in advance for any help and information!
Cheers,
Kish

This task involves reading sentences from political texts and judging whether these deal with economic or social policy.
The sentences you will be asked to interpret come from political party manifestos. Some of these sentences will deal with economic policy; some will deal with social policy; other sentences will deal with neither economic nor social policy. We tell you below about what we mean by "economic" and "social" policy.
First, you will read a short section from a party manifesto. For the sentence highlighted in red, enter your best judgment about whether it mainly refers to economic policy, to social policy, or to neither.
If the sentence refers to economic policy, select "economic" in the drop down menu; if it refers to social policy, select "social". If the sentence does not refer to either policy area, select "Not Economic or Social" – in this case you will move directly to the next sentence.
If you select "economic" or "social", you will be shown a policy scale. Use this to give your best judgment of the sentence in terms of how much it is left or right wing (for economic policy) or liberal or conservative (for social policy). We tell you below about what we mean by "left" and "right" etc..
For example, if you see a sentence containing what you think is very right wing economic policy, select the economic policy area from the drop down menu and click "very right" on the economic policy scale. If you think it has a position that is left-wing, but not very left wing, click "left".
If you believe the sentence expresses a centrist position on economic or social policy OR concerns economic or social policy but does not express any clear position, select the appropriate policy category from the drop down menu, as above, and then click the "neither…nor…position on the scale.
Now we need to tell you about what we mean by "economic" and "social" policy, and by "left" and "right", "liberal" and "conservative".
"Economic" policies deal with all aspects of the economy, including:
"Left" economic policies tend to favor one or more of the following:
"Right" economic policies tend to favor one or more of the following:
"Social" policies deal with aspects of social and moral life, relationships between social groups, and matters of national and social identity, including:
"Liberal" social policies tend to favor one or more of the following:
Recording the contents of political text on economic and social scales"Conservative" social policies tend to favor one or more of the following:
Below we provide two examples of text from the manifestos and instructions on how they should be coded, and why.
With a Conservative Government, all that has been changing. We were determined to make share-ownership available to the whole nation. Just as with cars, television sets, washing machines and foreign holidays, it would no longer be a privilege of the few |
The highlighted text should be coded as "economic" because it references ownership. In addition, the text is "right" because it is promoting private ownership.
ALTERNATIVES TO PRISON. Every effort should be made to ensure that fine defaulters, elderly shoplifters and drunks are not sent to prison. Police cautions and intermediate treatment should be more widely used. Where punishment is appropriate, it should normally be community service rather than prison |
The highlighted text should be coded as having to do with "social" policy because it references policing. In addition the text is "liberal" because it promotes alternative punitive measures to prison.

Hello fellow students! My name is
and I'm part of the July cohort in Denver!
I was born and raised in the Hudson Valley of New York. I grew up tinkering with computers, hardware mostly, but never thought I'd find myself as interested in software engineering as I am now.
Fascinated with nature and its inhabitants, I chose to study philosophy in college and later began an early career in clinical psychology. As much as I enjoyed helping others solve their problems, I quickly realized that I'd rather help solve others problems by doing something creative, such as creating software and applications that can make life a little better for everyone, so now I'm here!
I'm an avid mountain biker, so if I'm not behind my computer I'm probably on the trails with my bike. Mountain biking is partially why I chose to move to Colorado, and I've met some of the most important people in my life from it here.


Majors
In many universities, an academic concentration is a focus within a specific academic major, that is a field of study within a specific academic major. For example, interdisciplinary programs in humanities or social sciences will require a student to pick a specific academic concentration as a focus within their academic major, our website provid 8 faculty to know more about them, that contain alot of specifications.
Exam
There are difference between our competencies, and of course you can mesure yours, so this indroduce to you a demo for entrance exam for universities in jordan, also we will give advice to you what major can perfectly fit in.

JavaScript has two main kinds of loops that I'm familiar with, While and For loops. A while loop simply executes a block (a chunk of code) while a condition is true. It looks like this:
i = 0 while (i < 10) { console.log(i); i = i + 1; // This can also be written i += 1 }
A for loop is very similar to a while loop, except that the loop-specific things, such as the starting value of the counter or condition (i = 0 in the example above), the condition (i < 10), and the increment (i += 1) are all stored in the parentheses after "for" and before the block, which is contained within the curly brackets, "{}". It looks like this:
for (i = 0; i < 10; i += 1) { console.log(i); }
Ruby Loops include for and while, but also some cool loops like :each and :times. These examples print the same thing as the javascript loops (namely, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10).
10.times { |i| p i} (1..10).each { |i| p i}
JavaScript also has a way to iterate over a collection or enumerable, I think, called for/in, but I haven't learned that yet. Overall, I think Ruby loops are more user friendly and concise than JavaScript loops. There were several times during this week's challenges that I wished I could use Ruby loops.


Persona (Japanese: ペルソナ Hepburn: Perusona), also known as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, is a series of role-playing video games developed and primarily published by Atlus.[a] The series is a spin-off from Atlus' Megami Tensei franchise, and was originally based on the high school setting of Shin Megami Tensei If.... The first entry in the series, Revelations: Persona,[b] was released in 1996. There have since been nine further console titles (five main entries and four spin-off titles), with the latest, Persona 5, being released in 2016 in Japan. The series takes its title from beings summoned by characters in battle, manifesting from their personality.
Persona began as a spin-off based on the positively-received setting of If.... Its trademark features include a high school setting, a group of students as the protagonists, a silent protagonist similar to the mainline Megami Tensei franchise, and combat using Personas. Since the release of Persona 3 in 2006, the main series has used a social simulation function called Social Links, which is directly linked to how Personas evolve. Central character designs are by series co-creator Kazuma Kaneko....

Overview
Hugo is a static HTML and CSS website generator written in [Go][]. It is optimized for speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.
Hugo relies on Markdown files with front matter for meta data. And you can run Hugo from any directory. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don’t have a privileged account.
Hugo renders a typical website of moderate size in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that each piece of content renders in around 1 millisecond.
Hugo is designed to work well for any kind of website including blogs, tumbles and docs.
Supported Architectures
Currently, we provide pre-built Hugo binaries for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OS X (Darwin) for x64, i386 and ARM architectures.
Hugo may also be compiled from source wherever the Go compiler tool chain can run, e.g. for other operating systems including DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Plan 9 and Solaris.
Complete documentation is available at [Hugo Documentation][].
Choose How to Install
If you want to use Hugo as your site generator, simply install the Hugo binaries. The Hugo binaries have no external dependencies.
To contribute to the Hugo source code or documentation, you should fork the Hugo GitHub project and clone it to your local machine.
Finally, you can install the Hugo source code with go
, build the binaries yourself, and run Hugo that way.
Building the binaries is an easy task for an experienced go
getter.
Install Hugo as Your Site Generator (Binary Install)
Use the installation instructions in the Hugo documentation.

Build and Install the Binaries from Source (Advanced Install)
Add Hugo and its package dependencies to your go src
directory.
go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo
Once the get
completes, you should find your new hugo
(or hugo.exe
) executable sitting inside $GOPATH/bin/
.
To update Hugo’s dependencies, use go get
with the -u
option.
go get -u -v github.com/spf13/hugo
Contribute to Hugo
We welcome contributions to Hugo of any kind including documentation, themes, organization, tutorials, blog posts, bug reports, issues, feature requests, feature implementation, pull requests, answering questions on the forum, helping to manage issues, etc.
The Hugo community and maintainers are very active and helpful and the project benefits greatly from this activity.
If you have any questions about how to contribute or what to contribute please ask on the forum.
Code Contribution Guideline
We welcome your contributions. To make the process as seamless as possible, we ask for the following:
- Go ahead and fork the project and make your changes. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.
- When you’re ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
- Sign the CLA
- Have test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
- Run
go fmt
- Squash your commits into a single commit.
git rebase -i
. It’s okay to force update your pull request. - This blog article is a good resource for learning how to write good commit messages, the most important part being that each commit message should have a title/subject in imperative mood starting with a capital letter and no trailing period: “Return error on wrong use of the Paginator”, NOT “returning some error.” Also, if your commit references one or more GitHub issues, always end your commit message body with See #1234 or Fixes #1234. Replace 1234 with the GitHub issue ID. The last example will close the issue when the commit is merged into master.
- Make sure
go test ./...
passes, andgo build
completes. Our Travis CI loop (Linux) and AppVeyor (Windows) will catch most things that are missing.
Build Hugo with Your Changes
cd /path/to/hugo
go build -o hugo main.go
mv hugo /usr/local/bin/
Add Compile Information to Hugo
To add compile information to Hugo, replace the go build
command with the following (replace /path/to/hugo
with the actual path):
go build -ldflags "-X /path/to/hugo/hugolib.CommitHash `git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null` -X github.com/spf13/hugo/hugolib.BuildDate `date +%FT%T%z`"
This will result in hugo version
output that looks similar to:
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV-8042E77 buildDate: 2014-12-25T03:25:57-07:00
Alternatively, just run make
— all the “magic” above is already in the Makefile
. :wink:
Run Hugo
cd /path/to/hugo
go install github.com/spf13/hugo/hugolib
go run main.go

Grace burst out crying. She said she knew it was silly, and not at all what an outdoor girl should do, and, very contritely afterward, she told the others how sorry she was that she had given way. But she just could not seem to help it. Without reserve she sobbed on Amy's shoulder.
For a moment Mollie and Betty, looking at one another, feared that Amy, too, would give way to her feelings, and that they would have two hysterical ones on their hands. But the little outburst of Grace seemed to act as a sort of tonic to Amy, who put her arms about her chum, murmuring comforting words.
"Oh, what—what are we going to do?" sobbed Grace.
"We're not going to cry—at any rate!" snapped Mollie. "At least I'm not."
There was an incisiveness—a sharpness—to her voice that made Grace look up a bit angrily.
"I—I'm not crying!" she said, and there was more energy in her voice than had been noticeable for some time.
"Well, it's a very good imitation of it then," went on Mollie. "Crying isn't going to do any good, and it gets on the nerves of all of us."
"I'm sorry—I couldn't seem to help it," spoke Grace, in a low voice. "I—I won't do it again. But oh, what are we going to do?"
No one knew what to answer. Certainly they were in a situation that needed help to enable them to escape from it. They could not approach the alligators—at least they did not think they could, though perhaps the creatures would have fled when the girls came near. And the snakes, while not aggressive, seemed to be numerous in the water that offered the only ford to shore. And moccasins, the girls had been told, were deadly poisonous.
"If Tom would only come!" muttered Betty. "I can't see what keeps him," and she looked anxiously toward where the luncheon was spread. But there was no sign of the young man.
"Maybe we could drive the snakes away by throwing more stones," suggested Grace, who seemed to have gotten over her little hysterical outburst. "Let's try it."
"It's worth trying," admitted Betty. "At least I don't believe the snakes would come out to attack us, and we might be able to drive them away."
The girls, glad of the chance to do something, collected a pile of stones and showered them into the water. Then when the ripples had cleared they peered anxiously at the sand bar.
"They're gone!" cried Amy joyously. "Now we can wade to shore."
"Better wait," advised Mollie.
There was an anxious pause, and then Betty said in a hopeless sort of tone:
"No, there they come back again," and she pointed to where the writhing serpents could be seen. Evidently the sand bar was a sort of feeding place for them, and though they might disappear for the moment at some disturbance, they returned.
Hopelessly the girls looked at one another. Then they glanced into the water, that seemed fairly swarming with the snakes. There appeared to be more than ever of them. Then Amy looked toward the neck of land and gave a cry of surprise—of joy.
"Look!" she exclaimed. "They're going—the alligators. At least they're—moving!"
"I hope they don't move toward us!" gasped Grace.
The saurians indeed seemed waked into life. Whether they had completed their sun bath, or whether the call of their appetites moved them, it was impossible to say.
"Let's tell 'em we're in a hurry," suggested Betty, as she caught up a stone. Running forward she threw it with such good aim that it struck one of the saurians on the head. With a sort of surprised grunt the creature slid off the narrow neck of sand into the water. The other followed with a splash.
"There they go!" cried Mollie. "Come on now, before they take a notion to come back. Oh girls! I'm nearly starved!"
Betty laughed at this—it was characteristic of Mollie, once the immediate stress was removed, to revert to the matter that had previously claimed her attention, and this had been their luncheon.
"Come on!" she cried, and ran toward the main shore.
Betty said afterward that they had never run so fast, not even at the school games, where the outdoor girls had made records for themselves on the cinder track. Just who reached shore first is a matter of no moment—in fact it must have been a "dead heat," as Tom Osborne said afterward.
As the girls passed the place where the alligators had been sunning themselves they gave one look each into the water where the saurians had disappeared. One look only, and they did not pause to do that. But they saw no signs of the ugly creatures.
"Safe!" cried Betty, and the girls, breathless from their run, were safe. They gathered about the eatables on the grass.
"Oh, where can Tom be?" cried Betty anxiously. "I—I hope nothing has happened to him!"
"Now who is making direful suggestions, I'd like to know?" asked Grace.
 "But I'm going to be impolite and—eat."
She approached the "table," an example followed by the others. Certainly Tom had done his work exceedingly well. The spread was very inviting.
Betty looked all around the little glade on the edge of the river, where the table was set. There was no sign of their escort. The Gem floated lazily where she was moored, and the scene was quiet and peaceful enough. But there was a certain mystery about the disappearance of Tom Osborne.
"Well, we may as well eat," sighed Betty. "Then we can look about a bit. There won't be any alligators inland, I guess."
Even the fright the girls had experienced had not taken away their appetites, and soon they were making merry over the meal, which was a bountiful one—they could well trust Aunt Hannah for that.
But "between bites," as it were, Betty and the others looked about for a sign of the young man. He did not appear, however, nor were there any sounds of his approach. The woods back from the river teemed with bird and animal life. The latter was not so visible as the former, for the feathered creatures flitted here and there amid the branches, bursting into various melodious notes.
The meal went on; it was finished. The girls packed up with a little sense of disappointment. They felt that their outing had been rather spoiled. They saved enough for Tom in case he should come back hungry, which would very likely be the case.
"Well, we may as well put things on board," said Betty, at length. "We can't stay here much longer. It's getting late."
"But can we—ought we—go back without Tom?" asked Mollie.
"I don't see what else we can do—if he doesn't come," said Betty. "We can't stay here all night."
The Gem was made ready for the trip back. Then came a time of anxious waiting as the shadows lengthened. Betty, as well as the others, was getting nervous.
"We simply must go," said the Little Captain, at length. "He will have to come back as best he can. I don't see what made him go away. I am quite sure Mr. Hammond will not like it."
"But if we go, can Tom find his way back?" asked Grace.
"He'll have to. But of course we'll tell Mr. Hammond, and he, and some of the men, can come for Tom, if they think it necessary."
There seemed nothing else to do, and presently the girls went aboard, taking the remains of the lunch with them.
"We ought to leave some sort of note for Tom, telling him what happened, and that we couldn't wait any longer," suggested Mollie, as Betty was about to start.
"That's so. I didn't think of that. We'll do it."
"And leave him some lunch, too," voiced Amy.
"Good!" cried Betty. "Tom has one friend, at least."
A goodly packet of lunch was done up, and placed in a tree, well wrapped, where it would be sure to be seen. Then a note was left, with a brief account of what had happened, and the information that the girls had gone back to Orangeade.
"He ought to see that!" remarked Betty, stepping back to inspect her handiwork. She had pinned a small square of white paper, containing the writing, to a sheet of light brown manila, so that it was visible for some distance.
"It looks like a whole book—instead of a note," laughed Mollie.
The Gem was started and began dropping down the branch stream toward the main river. At least the girls hoped it was the main river when they turned into a larger body of water. But as they puffed on, amid the lengthening shadows, an annoying doubt began to manifest itself in Betty's mind. She glanced at the shores from time to time.
"Girls," she said finally, "does everything look right?"
"Do you mean—your hair?" asked Amy.
"No, I mean the scenery. Is it familiar? Have we been here before? Did we come this way?"
They all stared at Betty.
"What—what do you mean?" faltered Grace.
"Well, I don't seem to remember this place," went on Betty. "I'm afraid we've taken the wrong turn in the river, and that—"
"You don't mean to say that we're lost; do you?" cried Mollie.
"I'm afraid so," was Betty's low-voiced reply.

There are over 500 specially defined subsets in NCI Thesaurus. Each has its own NCIt concept, defining the nature of the subset, and these are hierarchically organized under the parent concept Terminology Subset (C54443). These subset concepts are linked to subset-member concepts through over 20,000 association relationships. Most of these subsets are now also available here.
Most NCIt subsets are federal and international coding standards maintained in active collaboration with our FDA, CDISC, and other partners. They are currently distributed largely as tab-delimited data and Excel spreadsheet files accessible from the EVS FTP site. Below are five important subset collections currently presented on these Cancer.gov Web pages:
Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium Terminology: CDISC is an international, non-profit organization that develops and supports global data standards for medical research. CDISC is working actively with EVS to develop and support controlled terminology in several areas, notably CDISC's Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM).
U.S. Food and Drug Administration Terminology: The FDA is working with EVS to develop and support controlled terminology in several areas. Some 15,000 terms are stored in NCI Thesaurus (NCIt).
Federal Medication Terminologies: The Federal Medication (FedMed) interagency collaboration is organizing an agreed set of standard, comprehensive, freely and easily accessible Federal Medication Terminologies (FMT) to improve the exchange and public availability of medication information.

First Class Functions
Typically first class functions are defined as a programming entity that can be :
- Created at runtime
- Assigned to a variable or element in a data structure
- Passed as an argument
- Returned as the result of a function
By this definition, looking at how Python treats all functions, all functions are first class within Python.
Below we’ll see examples of exactly how this looks.
Treating a function like an object
def factorial(n):
"""
Returns n! or n(factorial)
e.g 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2
"""
return 1 if n < 2 else n * factorial(n-1)
factorial(5)
120
First class analysis
We can show the first class nature of this function object using a few examples.
We can assign the function to a variable, which will invoke the function when calling that variable.
fact = factorial
fact(5)
120
We can also use the map function, and pass our function as the first argument, allowing that function to be evaluated against the second argument, which is an iterable. Allowing this function to be applied in a successive fashion to all elements of this iterable.
map(factorial, range(10))
[1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880]
Higher-Order Functions
A higher order function is a bit….meta. It can take, as an argument, a function and then returns a function as a result.
The map()
example used above is a great example of this.
The built-in sorted()
function is another great example of this, within Python. We can pass it an iterable, along with a key
that can then be applied in succession to the items in the list.
food = ['eggplant', 'carrots', 'celery',
'potatoes', 'tomatoes', 'rhubarb',
'strawberry', 'blueberry', 'raspberry',
'banana', 'cherry']
print(sorted(food, key=len))
['celery', 'banana', 'cherry', 'carrots', 'rhubarb', 'eggplant', 'potatoes', 'tomatoes', 'blueberry', 'raspberry', 'strawberry']
Any single argument function can be used in the key argument of the sorted()
method.
as a trivial example, we may want to use the reversed order of the characters to sort of words, as this will cause certain clustering of character strings together, such as -berry, and -toes.
def reverse(word):
'''
Reverse the order of the letters in a given string
'''
return word[::-1]
print(sorted(food, key=reverse))
['banana', 'rhubarb', 'tomatoes', 'potatoes', 'carrots', 'eggplant', 'celery', 'blueberry', 'raspberry', 'strawberry', 'cherry']
Replacements for map and filter
Map, filter, and reduce are typically offered in functional languages as higher order functions. However, the introduction of list comprehensions and generator expressions have downplayed the value of the map and filter functions, as listcomp’s and genexp’s combine the job of map
and filter
.
# Build a list of factorials from 0! to 5!
list(map(fact, range(6)))
[1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120]
# Build a list of factorials from 0! to 5!
# but using list comprehension
[fact(n) for n in range(6)]
[1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120]
# Build a list of factorials of odd numbers up to 5!, using `map` and `filter`
list(map(factorial, filter(lambda n: n % 2, range(6))))
[1, 6, 120]
We can see above that with the map
and filter
functions, we needed to use a lambda
function.
Using a list comprehension can remove this requirement, and concatenate the operations.
# Build a list of factorials of odd numbers up to 5!, using list comprehension
[factorial(n) for n in range(6) if n % 2]
[1, 6, 120]
Anonymous Functions
The example above, where we’ve utilized map
and filter
combined with a lambda
function leads us into our next example.
The lambda
keyword created an anonymous function within a Python expression. However the syntax limits the lambda
to be pure expressions. This means that the body of a lambda
function can’t use other Python statements such as while
or try
, etc.
These are typically limited in their use because of the lack of the ability to use more complex control structures within the lambda
functions. This can lead to unreadable or unworkable results.
However, they can still prove useful in certain contexts, such as list arguments.
food = ['eggplant', 'carrots', 'celery',
'potatoes', 'tomatoes', 'rhubarb',
'strawberry', 'blueberry', 'raspberry',
'banana', 'cherry']
print(sorted(food, key=lambda word: word[::-1]))
['banana', 'rhubarb', 'tomatoes', 'potatoes', 'carrots', 'eggplant', 'celery', 'blueberry', 'raspberry', 'strawberry', 'cherry']

I have started, abandoned, and restarted many pet rails projects. All hype aside, I've collected a fair amount of rails idioms. Whenever I come across a problem I know I've dealt with in the past, I usually run a few greps through my past projects to look for an answer. The following pages are disorganized tips of things I have done that are useful.
if an ActiveRecord::Base object 'foo' doesn't agree with what's in the database, simply do foo.reload. To make changes in the instance go to the database, do foo.save. For many of the Base methods, you can append a ! to the end of the method name and it'll raise an exception instead of returning false on failure. For example, save vs save!
If you can't find a method or variable in a class, check the parent class (Class ChildClass < ParentClass), or look for 'include ModuleName', where ModuleName can exist in the lib/ or vendor/plugins directory.
config.observer... - registers a callback for when something happens to a model. Can be done with before_save, but can also be done externally and shared between models.
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) - to just have SQL statements print to stdout.
rails_rcov - wrapper that gives you rake tasks to rcov. To show test code coverage.
CruiseControl - continuous integration tool that reports build and test errors. The link is specific to ruby projects.
RSpec is an implementation of Behavior Driven Design (BDD). It's a declarative form of design and test. When I first learned testing, I learned it as imperatively setting up state, doing some actions, and then verifing the end state. The big problems I had with testing was always getting tangled up in complex dependencies between different components. This made it really hard to focus on the system being tested. I'm looking more into using mocks and stubs to replace fixtures and real models when it makes sense to. BDD helps with this because it focuses on beahavior and specification rather than implementation.
RSpec - the library itself
role_requirement - plays well with restful_authentication. I haven't tried this one before. I did use Active RBAC with positive results before.
acts_as_state_machine - amazing mixin that can make your models act like a state machine. It allows you to register callbacks for when a model's state changes.
SyslogLogger - logger that goes to syslog. Not a fan of this one, but I've seen it in use.
I like to have my projects be self-contained. This means that when you check out one of my projects, you should be able to setup your database, do a rake or two, and be on your way.
There are several fixes to this problem. The cleanest one that I've choosen is to update to Edge Rails with:
rake rails:freeze:edge
then follow Ryan's Scraps Gem Dependencies article.
Unfortunately, upgrading to Edge Rails might not be feasible. In this case, one solution is to mimic what Edge Rails does:
mkdir RAILS_ROOT/vendor/gems
gem install FOO --install-dir RAILS_ROOT/vendor/gems
To make your rails app recognize the installed gems, update your environment.rb to look in the newly created subdirectory with config.load_paths.
Another interesting plugin that I haven't looked into is piston which gives you all the advantages of svn:externals, but also allows you to commit local changes to your own repo.
See ERB::Util for the following:
Remember that if you wanted to use these in your controller, you have to require and include it. I recommend against using the shorthand versions because it sucks for readability.
When I was trying to create a RESTful TagsController with the acts_as_taggable plugin, I created a form that looked like:
<input id="tag" type="text" size="17" name="tag"/>
<input id="taggable[id]" type="hidden" value="14" name="taggable[id]"/>
<input id="taggable[type]" type="hidden" value="Place" name="taggable[type]"/>
When this form was posted, I would get a string for the class of the object that I wanted to tag in taggable[type]. In normal Ruby, you can call Kernel.const_get(classname) to get the Class object for classname. In Rails, this has been simplified further to be just classname.constantize
class Pet < ActiveRecord::Base
self.abstract_class = true
belongs_to :person
validates_presence_of :name
end
class Dog < Pet
def bark
"baaw"
end
end
assert_equal 1, Developer.connection.select_value(<<-end_sql).to_i
SELECT count(*) FROM developers_projects
WHERE project_id = #{project.id}
AND developer_id = #{developer.id}
end_sql

'I can't put my life on hold for this child': Florida man accused of locking child inside home
by WFTV.comMARION COUNTY, Fla. - Deputies in Marion County, Florida, are thanking neighbors after they said a child was found in a home without food, a phone or access to a bathroom.
Officials said Byron McIntyre left the child alone in unsafe conditions.
A neighbor was alerted when the child saw them walking by and asked them for help.
Deputies came to the home to rescue the child. Once McIntyre arrived, he told them, "I can't put my life on hold for this child" when asked why he left the child alone, according to a report.
"We did find the juvenile in that home, unable to exit the room unless he took a sliding glass off the hinges," said Cecelia Koon of the Marion County Sheriff's Office. "It's my understanding that the child was left with a bucket for kitty litter and a water bottle."
When asked about leaving a bucket for the child to use the bathroom, McIntyre allegedly said, "DCF told him that it was OK to do that."
Neighbors said they were shocked about the arrest.
"He was always nice and helpful," said Joe Buchman. "I'm really surprised and shocked."
Investigators have not released what the relationship is between McIntyre and the child.
The age of the child has not yet been released.
Deputies do not believe this was the first time the child had been left home alone.

The Funniest Tweets of the Week
by Garrett MartinOn the day I got my braces off a group of angry protesters took over the lobby of the building that housed my orthodontist’s office. They weren’t mad at Dr. Timothy Shaughnessy, DDS; they were protesting whatever latest bit of idiocy my duly elected Congressional representative had performed during his duties as the Speaker of the House. That dude’s name was Newt Gingrich; his office was in the same building as my orthodontist, and this story is only germane insofar as the first tweet in the batch below is probably my favorite of the week. It speaks to me personally, you see. I’d like to think that sometime tomorrow Dr. Shaughnessy, on a break from stripping metal off the teeth of young people, will pull out his phone and see this article shared upon his Facebook page, and remember those terrible days when his professional neighbor was also doing a pretty good job of wrecking this here country.
Hey, here are some tweets.


07 Jan 2014
At Hive we have a strong commitment to open
source. Today, we honor this commitment by open sourcing the Bridgewalker
codebase. I am excited that this has been made possible by the Hive
acquisition
and am very much looking forward to the new possibilities and projects that this
might lead to down the line!
The meat of the Bridgewalker codebase can be found in these three repositories:
Then there are a number of support libraries and tools which the Bridgewalker
server depends on:
I'm afraid that the documentation is only rudimentary in many places. This was
only a side project for me for a long time. A working Bridgewalker server also
consists of quite a few moving parts, so getting it all set up is somewhat
involved. But each repository contains a brief README file which should
hopefully get you started. If you have any questions, I am happy to try to help
out - just shoot me an email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Happy coding!
01 Jan 2014
Bridgewalker has always been about exploring the idea of using "Bitcoin, the
network" solely as a payment mechanism, but avoiding "Bitcoin, the currency" and
its volatility by exchanging in and out of local currencies before and after the
payment takes place. Using Bitcoin in this way, it then becomes a technical
solution similiar to the ACH network
or credit card networks, in that it provides a payment network which allows the
electronic transfer of funds denominated in fiat (e.g. euro or dollar). But a
payment network which has no barrier of entry, as anyone can plug in, as long
as they speak the Bitcoin protocol. This concept has also been described as
Bitcoin being "money over IP" or an "IP address for
money".
Point of sale demo
The following video is a technology demo of how Bitcoin might be used in this
manner in a point of sale setting, where a customer wants to pay contactless
with his smartphone. To set the stage: In this example the merchant is using a
laptop to initiate the process. She enters the price of the product - let's say
2 euros - and the software uses the current Bitcoin exchange rate to calculate a
Bitcoin amount, which is then shown to the customer on an external screen
together with payment instructions. The customer holds his phone close to the
NFC pad and receives the payment details. In this case he uses the Bridgewalker
app, where he maintains a euro balance, which can be converted to bitcoins for
the purpose of transfer at a moment's notice. The app picks up the payment
request and - after final confirmation by the user - sends out a Bitcoin
transaction. To increase speed and especially reliability a copy of the Bitcoin
transaction is also sent back to the merchant via Bluetooth. The payment is now
complete (caveat: the risk of double spending - see discussion below). In the
video the merchant simply receives the bitcoins via Bitcoin-Qt. But one could
imagine to plug in a merchant solution like BitPay or Coinbase here, which would
then convert back to euros to complete the cycle. Here is the video:
Technical details
First off: If you do not care about all the back and forth with traditional
currencies, then this solution can of course also be used in a Bitcoin-only
manner. It is based on work that Andreas Schildbach already did for the Android
Bitcoin wallet (great stuff - thanks!) and is fully compatible with that. So the
Schildbach wallet will pick up the NFC payment request and also the transaction
transfer over Bluetooth is compatible. The code for the point of sale terminal
is open source and you can find it
over on GitHub. The
repository also has some notes about the recommended NFC hardware.
Currency conversions and fees
All this currency conversion back and forth is terrible convoluted and must be
pretty expensive, you might be thinking at this point. Why not just transfer
euros directly, if that is the goal? To expand on what I wrote in the
introduction: The problem with transferring euros electronically is the fact,
that there is no such thing as a digital euro. You can only have digital IOUs
for euros - that is promises from someone, that they will pay you a euro later -
and you can then transfer those digital IOUs. That means you will always have to
be very careful about whose IOUs you accept, so that you can be sure that you
are getting paid in the end.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, stands for itself. It is a digital commodity that
commands a market price and it therefore does not matter from whom you are
receiving those bitcoins. It is the digital equivalent of "cash is king".
Building a payment network with Bitcoin at the core allows for a much more open
approach where everyone is free to connect to and become a part of that network.
To make it cost-competitive, the "on- and off-ramps" to the Bitcoin network, the
exchanges, need to be efficient. That means low fees on one hand, and also tight
spreads - the difference between the highest buy offer and the lowest sell offer
- on the other hand. In the case of Bridgewalker, for example, this currently
amounts to a fee of around 1.5 % for a "round trip". So sending out 100 EUR in
the form of bitcoins and then depositing them again, will typically leave you
with 98.50 EUR (although transfers between Bridgewalker users are internal and
free, by the way). At the moment Bridgewalker uses Mt.Gox as its exchange
platform. Then you have to factor in the cost for the user to get bitcoins in
the first place, to fund his Bridgewalker account, and that might be another
percent or two. On the merchant side very competitive pricing options are
available from both BitPay and Coinbase. All in all, I think you can stay under
3 % even today, to pick a number that is typical for credit card fees, and there
is quite a bit of room to push this down further as Bitcoin exchanges mature.
Lastly I want to point out, that Bridgewalker is just a technical prototype and
I therefore opted to only allow funding of accounts via Bitcoin. This creates
additional points of currency exchange, but frees me from interfacing with the
traditional banking system and instead allows me to focus on experimenting with
the user interface. An institution that would undertake a direct integration
with, for example, the ACH network should be able to reduce fees even more.
In fact, a highly upvoted feature
request
for Coinbase to implement a "buy-as-you-spend" feature would be essentially just
that. It would allow a user to spend bitcoins via the Coinbase app and have it
replenished by pulling fiat from their bank account. This is essentially just a
mechanism to spend fiat from their bank account via Bitcoin, which brings us
back to the idea of using Bitcoin solely as a payment mechanism.
Double spending
Discussing the topic of double spend risk management really requires a whole
blog post or more like a series of them in itself, and this post is already
getting too long. But just a few comments here: The common wisdom so far has
been, that for small in person payments the risk of accepting zero-confirmation
transactions is minimal. I agree that this is probably true. Although it is
only true, if the merchant receives the transaction via the Bitcoin network and
therefore has some indication that it has been broadcasted widely.
In this setting the merchant receives the transaction directly from the
customer, which makes it much easier for the customer to trick the merchant, by
sending a conflicting transaction simultaneously to the rest of the Bitcoin
network. So this is still one of the pieces missing from this solution, before
it is ready for real world usage. The merchant should wait a few extra seconds
(unfortunately adding extra delay) and then check with a number of
highly connected Bitcoin nodes whether there are any known double spends
(feature request for Blockchain.info: return the double spend info that you are
collecting already via your JSON api. It would be great if the data returned for
a transaction would have an extra field called "known_double_spends" or
"known_conflicts" which would be simply "true" or "false" or maybe a list of
conflicting transaction ids). This would, I believe, be a reasonably secure
heuristic for small amounts.
In general though, receiving the transaction directly from the customer will be
the only solution going forward. Relying on a gossip-style peer-to-peer network,
as Bitcoin is, for timely delivery of transactions will simply fail too often
(for some anecdotal evidence of this, see for example this
thread).
As an aside: The demo above employs green
addresses. Bridgewalker transactions
can be recognized by their use of coins from 1MAxx46Dp3tFw933PxPwEYYGCpxYda2pyH
which is why the backend displays "Verified by Bridgewalker" after receiving the
transaction. So in this case the merchant knows where to complain, if anything
murky should happen with the transaction afterwards.
Green addresses are a hack - I said as much, when I proposed them back in 2011 -
and now that we have BIP 70, the payment
protocol proposal, this would probably be a better outlet to integrate a similar
mechanism.
Future work
All of this should probably be ported to use the payment protocol, which should
allow to add some other niceties as well, like displaying some meta information
about the payment directly on the client side (what is this for? who is
requesting it? have they signed the request?). Then of course the mentioned
double spend detection heuristic needs to be added. It would also be helpful to
replace the use of Bitcoin-Qt with a more lightweight client, to be able to run
the point of sale terminal on something like a Raspberry Pi.
The code is open source -
patches are always welcome! :-)

Welcome to the Bridgewalker blog! The news is already a couple of weeks old, but
I would like to use this first post to report that Bridgewalker has been
acquired be Hive!
I was lucky to meet Wendell Davis at the Amsterdam Bitcoin conference in
September and we had some great conversations about Bitcoin wallets and the
Bitcoin ecosystem in general. So when he later approached me with the idea of
Hive acquiring Bridgewalker and me joining the team, it did not take much
convincing for me to decide that this was a great match and opportunity.
I am very excited about joining the Hive team and looking forward to building
some great products. I will be focusing initally on helping out with the Android
port of Hive, which will put Bridgewalker a little bit on the back burner for
the time being. But it will continue to operate and I am looking forward to
explore future possibilites of integerating it with the rest of Hive's
offerings.
Watch this space for some cool additional announcements resulting from the
acquisition!
Here is the original
announcement.

SFWeekly has declared this book, Microwaving Cooking For One, by Marie T. Smith, to be the saddest cookbook ever written.
We have to agree, which is why we're glad Stouffers is putting suicide prevention tips on their packages. (Not really, it's from the The Onion. We wish it was true, however.)
