TextMate’s bundle system is pretty cool. If you make modifications to bundles, the difference is written as deltas to ~/Library/Application Support/
. The original bundle is kept in its unchanged, pristine state – inside the TextMate application, in ~/Library/Application Support/
if downloaded and installed, or in /Library/Application Support/
if you did a SVN checkout. (See this post for a fuller explanation of where bundles go and why.)
Since your local changes are kept apart from the distributed bundle, updates by the bundle author do not overwrite your own changes, and all is well.
But what if you are the bundle author?
Developing bundles
If you distribute the bundle as a web download, you can just drag-and-drop it from the Bundle Editor to the desktop, zip it up and share. The bundle you share will include any local changes.
If you version control a bundle you’re developing, though, you probably don’t want deltas, but to have any changes made in the Bundle Editor written directly to the bundle itself. This is achieved by keeping the bundle in ~/Library/Application Support/
(which is, incidentally, where bundles go when you do “New Bundle” in the Bundle Editor). No deltas are created; all changes are written directly to the bundle.
But sometimes you do want deltas. For my Greasemonkey bundle, I want TextMate-global keyboard shortcuts for some stuff (creating a new userscript from template, opening an installed userscript), but bundles should not be distributed with TextMate-global keyboard shortcuts unless it’s necessary (e.g. the Subversion bundle).
To be able to easily switch between writing changes as deltas and writing changes to the bundle proper would be quite useful. So I wrote a TextMate command for this.
The command
Download: MyBundle Toggle Deltas.tmCommand.
The command assumes you keep the bundle in ~/Library/Application Support/
. When run, the command switches the deltas and the complete bundle between that directory and Pristine Copy/Bundles
. When the deltas are in the non-pristine directory, any changes you make become deltas, and local changes (e.g. my global keyboard shortcuts) are available to use and modify. When the deltas are in the pristine directory, they are ignored. Changes are written directly to the bundle, and your personal, local changes are not available.
The command requires you have Growl installed, with growlnotify – it informs you of the current editing mode with a Growl notification. The notification is sticky, meaning it doesn’t go away until you click it. The idea is to keep you aware of the current mode.
You need to edit the command to specify the name of the bundle in question. I only maintain one bundle, so the command only handles one. You can simply create several copies of the command, one for each bundle.
The code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |

So NIS won a Guiness book of world records award for most number of SRPGS by a company.Now that is something.It is quite an achievement considering the fact that they are relatively new,having debuted their first game on the playstation 1.So congratulations to NIS,they have done well and we are all proud of them.But this article is not about their record breaking feat.
Over the last couple of years NIS has chanced it's hand in other genres and produced some high quality titles, of course with that special brand of NIS humour that we all know.Granted there are not many of them but they are all must play games for their fans nonetheless.All of the games listed have a few things in common.
1.They are hard as Hell (see what I just did there?)
2.They are funny.Sometimes sadistic,sometimes mocking,but always a good laugh.
3.One way or the other they make you grind.
4.They make the grinding enjoyable.
5.Am I forgetting something?
6.No this is it.
What?The list?Here goes:
All right I cheated a bit here.But you know what they won’t mind.Also I did not make this title up.While Acquire developed this game NIS was the first to recognise that it deserved to be released overseas.And they were right! Anyone who has played dig dug will be right at home with this one.The goal is to defeat those pesky heroes who always foil the plan of Badman to take over the world.How do you do this?By digging up the land and creating dungeons.
The game itself is played in two phases.The first phase involves in digging up a dungeon that can sustain powerful minions and the second phase revolves around protecting Badman for a certain time or better yet killing the heroes.
The game features a complex ecosystem.The soil contains nutrients from which minions of the Badman are born.More the nutrients in a block of soil the more powerful minion it will give rise to. At the absolute bottom of the food chain are harmless slimes and moths.They get eaten up by those higher up in the chain and provide food for them.
Over the course of time,due to killing by heroes or by other minions the dwellers of the dungeon can mutate.This mutation leads in even more powerful minions and the cycle goes on.
While the premise is simple there are infinite number of ways a dungeon can be created.A lot of trial and error is involved in creating the perfect one as every dig is precious, since there are a limited amount for each stage.The main draw however are the characters in the game.There are not many of them but they are full of RPG cliches and often poke fun at themselves.Badman might be the funniest villain ever.
Anybody who has played a Disgaea game know who or should I say what prinnies are.They are the humans who have been sent to Netherworld to atone for their sins.They are highly combustible an refrain from jumping and other physical exertions.Hmm… this would mean that it would be practically impossible to make an action platformer based on these characters.Much to the distress of Assagi the lowly prinnies have got their own game! and an action platformer at that no less.How did this happen?
Well Netherworld is a strange place.Extraordinary developments like princess Etna’s cravings for Ultra Dessert can cause confusion throughout and in this pandemonium prinnies are the ones that have to suffer.Etna has ordered them to fetch her the delicious Ultra Dessert by the end of the day.Now the princess is not as cruel as everyone thinks she is.To proove it she prensented the prinnies with a scarf that enables them to jump without exploding.Nice.
From here on the prinnies have to face increasingly tougher enemies and get one step closer to bringing the dessert for the princess.The stages change during Night and Day and it will take several retries before getting the good(?) ending.This is one of those games that is so hard that people have made videos on youtube just to show off their skills.
ZHP is a oddball even by NIS’s standards.A delicious mix of action,roguelike and turn based elements,it takes grinding to new heights.The dungeons are all randomly generated and you start at level zero.For every level you gain by defeating enemies your base stats improve.Here is the catch though if you die inside a dungeon all of your levels and equipment acquired are lost.
This is not as harsh as it sounds though.Every time you die you are a slightly stronger level zero because your base stats are a bit higher.The other important thing in zhp is the customization.You can customize the suit of unlosing ranger with the help of chips.Legs,body,hands and head are all broken down into small sections on which chips can be installed.Again there are different colored chips with each one corresponding to a specific attribute.These chips are formed by transforming the weapons that you collect during your run in the dungeon.
Then there are all kinds of customization that you can do on your base.You can choose to invest in your home,which can help you in the dungeons by giving you food for keeping your stamina up.Or you can choose to spend on the hammer smith for stronger weapons.Maybe you want an extra life,no problem you can buy that too. All in all ZHP is game that can last up to hundreds of hours.
There you go some of the top games developed by NIS that are not strategy RPGS.They might have started out as an SRPG developer but over the time they have expanded their reach to gamers of of all kinds.


Network partition detection uses a designated membership coordinator and a weighting system that accounts for a lead member to determine whether a network partition has occurred.
Membership Coordinators and Lead Members
The membership coordinator is a member that manages entry and exit of other members of the distributed system. With network partition detection enabled, the coordinator can be any Geode member but locators are preferred. In a locator-based system, if all locators are in the reconnecting state, the system continues to function, but new members are not able to join until a locator has successfully reconnected. After a locator has reconnected, the reconnected locator will take over the role of coordinator.
When a coordinator is shutting down, it sends out a view that removes itself from the list and the other members must determine who the new coordinator is.
The lead member is determined by the coordinator. Any member that has enabled network partition detection, is not hosting a locator, and is not an administrator interface-only member is eligible to be designated as the lead member by the coordinator. The coordinator chooses the longest-lived member that fits the criteria.
The purpose of the lead member role is to provide extra weight. It does not perform any specific functionality.
Member Weighting System
By default, individual members are assigned the following weights:
- Each member has a weight of 10 except the lead member.
- The lead member is assigned a weight of 15.
- Locators have a weight of 3.
You can modify the default weights for specific members by defining the gemfire.member-weight
system property upon startup.
The weights of members prior to the view change are added together and compared to the weight of lost members. Lost members are considered members that were removed between the last view and the completed send of the view preparation message. If membership is reduced by a certain percentage within a single membership view change, a network partition is declared.
The loss percentage threshold is 51 (meaning 51%). Note that the percentage calculation uses standard rounding. Therefore, a value of 50.51 is rounded to 51. If the rounded loss percentage is equal to or greater than 51%, the membership coordinator initiates shut down.
Sample Member Weight Calculations
This section provides some example calculations.
Example 1: Distributed system with 12 members. 2 locators, 10 cache servers (one cache server is designated as lead member.) View total weight equals 111.
- 4 cache servers become unreachable. Total membership weight loss is 40 (36%). Since 36% is under the 51% threshold for loss, the distributed system stays up.
- 1 locator and 4 cache servers (including the lead member) become unreachable. Membership weight loss equals 48 (43%). Since 43% is under the 51% threshold for loss, the distributed system stays up.
- 5 cache servers (not including the lead member) and both locators become unreachable. Membership weight loss equals 56 (49%). Since 49% is under the 51% threshold for loss, the distributed system stays up.
- 5 cache servers (including the lead member) and 1 locator become unreachable. Membership weight loss equals 58 (52%). Since 52% is greater than the 51% threshold, the coordinator initiates shutdown.
- 6 cache servers (not including the lead member) and both locators become unreachable. Membership weight loss equals 66 (59%). Since 59% is greater than the 51% threshold, the newly elected coordinator (a cache server since no locators remain) will initiate shutdown.
Example 2: Distributed system with 4 members. 2 cache servers (1 cache server is designated lead member), 2 locators. View total weight is 31.
- Cache server designated as lead member becomes unreachable. Membership weight loss equals 15 or 48%. Distributed system stays up.
- Cache server designated as lead member and 1 locator become unreachable. Member weight loss equals 18 or 58%. Membership coordinator initiates shutdown. If the locator that became unreachable was the membership coordinator, the other locator is elected coordinator and then initiates shutdown.
Even if network partitioning is not enabled, if quorum loss is detected due to unresponsive processes, the locator will also log a severe level message to identify the failed processes:
pre
Possible loss of quorum detected due to loss of {0} cache processes: {1}
where {0} is the number of processes that failed and {1} lists the processes.
Enabling network partition detection allows only one subgroup to survive a split. The rest of the system is disconnected and the caches are closed.
When a shutdown occurs, the members that are shut down will log the following alert message:
pre
Exiting due to possible network partition event due to loss of {0} cache processes: {1}
where {0}
is the count of lost members and {1}
is the list of lost member IDs.

The Digital India programme is a flagship programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.
Introduction
E-governance initiatives in India took a broader dimension in the mid 1990s for wider sectoral applications with emphasis on citizen-centric services. The major ICT initiatives of the Government included, inter alia, some major projects such as railway computerization, land record computerization, etc. which focused mainly on the development of information systems. Later on, many states started ambitious individual e-governance projects aimed at providing electronic services to citizens.
Though these e-governance projects were citizen-centric, they could make less than the desired impact due to their limited features. The isolated and less interactive systems revealed major gaps that were thwarting the successful adoption of e-governance along the entire spectrum of governance. They clearly pointed towards the need for a more comprehensive planning and implementation for the infrastructure required to be put in place, interoperability issues to be addressed, etc. to establish a more connected government.
YOUe-Kranti : National e-Governance Plan 2.0
The national level e-Governance programme called National e-Governance Plan was initiaited in 2006. There were 31 Mission Mode Projects under National e-Governance Plan covering a wide range of domains, viz. agriculture, land records, health, education, passports, police, courts, municipalities, commercial taxes, treasuries etc. 24 Mission Mode Projects have been implemented and started delivering either full or partial range of envisaged services. For more details click here
Considering the shortcomings in National e-Governance Plan that included lack of integration amongst Government applications and databases, low degree of government process reengineering, scope for leveraging emerging technologies like mobile, cloud…etc, Government of India has approved the e-Kranti programme recently with the vision of “Transforming e-Governance for Transforming Governance”.
All new and on-going eGovernance projects as well as the existing projects, which are being revamped, should now follow the key principles of e-Kranti namely ‘Transformation and not Translation’, ‘Integrated Services and not Individual Services’, ‘Government Process Reengineering (GPR) to be mandatory in every MMP’, ‘ICT Infrastructure on Demand’, ‘Cloud by Default’, ‘Mobile First’, ‘Fast Tracking Approvals’, ‘Mandating Standards and Protocols’, ‘Language Localization’, ‘National GIS (Geo-Spatial Information System)’, ‘Security and Electronic Data Preservation’.
The portfolio of Mission Mode Projects has increased from 31 to 44 MMPs. Many new social sector projects namely Women and Child Development, Social Benefits, Financial Inclusion, Urban Governance, eBhasha…etc have been added as new MMPs under e-Kranti.

Name: Darryl Teoi |
I am interested in many things and how they work. My main hobbies are:
-Tinkering with Nerf
-Gaming
-Drumming
I am also interested in pursuing a career in the SAF but i also want to be in the engineering field. I might end up being both as a combat engineer
Safety is number one priority when working in our laboratories and workshop. Document the main points, information that you need to take note of when working in SP Fablab, what are some of the key do’s and don’t’s that you need to take note of, what to do in case of emergencies.
Dresscode is an important part of safety as it minimises the chance of accidents happening or it plays a part of protecting oneself if an accident do happen.
Here are the safety symbols that you might see around the lab to warm us about the type of dangers of this particular area or machine.
In case of emergency, call:
-Ambulance/SCDF at 995
-Police at 999
To summarize, IMPORTANT points are mentioned below:
-You are RESPONSIBLE for the workplace safety on all stakeholders along lines of control at the workplace.
-Report ALL work related injuries(no matter how minor), promptly to technical support staff or supervising staff.
-Contact the school’s general office, 67721206 or call 67721234 when treatment to injury is required.
-Proper attire is a MUST(example, long pants, no slippers, tied hair and more)
To start off with the web development, i have chosen Subliume Text 3 as my text editor among others such as Visual Studios and Notepad++ as it is relatively easy for beginners and also free to use.As version control, we had to use Github
This was my first and original About Me Page. At that time i was still unsure of how to add an image.
I have learnt that the naming of the images are really important for the code to recognise and a small difference in name will cause it to not show the image

-CSS is needed to create the design of a webpage and defines how a webpage will look like. It organises the information into different sections and gives it colors
Github
-Github allows for version control which means you can simply load back the previous version of saved codes without having to recode it. This allows for easy recovery if mistakes have been made or the code been accidently deleted.
Github also allows you to view what changes have been made to the previous version.
When you have finalised on all the changes, you can commit to main to upload the changes into the local repository.
CAD allows us to design whatever we want and later through different methods such as 3D printing or laser cutting fabricate it into a physical object.
As for the software, we chose Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is rly similar to other CAD software that i have used in Year 1 and 2 such as Inventor thus it was relatively simple transitioning to it. It is really user friendly and simple to take your design from Fusion to 3D print and laser cut. Here are some exercises that i did. I used a template of the Knight chess piece and traced its outline. As for its circular base, i used the revolve feature.
Laser cutting uses a guided laser that vaporises material as it goes along. It cuts with extreme precision and speed. For us, wood and acrylic sheets are used to fabricate our projects. The image below shows hopw the CAD drawing is orientated to be sent for laser cutting.
The 3D shape of your design has to be laid out flat in order the be laser cut as the laser cutter only moves in a 2 dimensional plane. The thickness of the walls depends on the thickness of your material, which in my case was a 5mm thick wooden sheet
Imaages can also be engraved using the same laser cutter. The images below shows the fully assembled and engraved music box.
3D Printing uses both Fusion 360 and Ultimaker Cura. The 3D printed object is printed layer by layer by the 3D printer which in our Fablab is the Ultimaker 2+. A 3D model is converted into STL file which is the sliced and converted into g-codes. The g-codes are then uploaded into the 3D printer. It is a relatively slow process but fast compared to tradional fabrication methods and its great for prototyping as it is cheap and you can tweak the design and simply print again. There are a few considerations when it comes to 3D printing.The layer height, wall thickness and infill. These factors contribute to the print time, strength, weight and finish of the printed part. The image below shows the 3D printed Knight chess piece.
There was some post processing involved as there were automatically generated supports for the overhang. I used a pair of pliers to break and remove the supports. As was relatively quick as it is a small piece. I then used files to smoothen some uneven edges left behind by the supports.
Electronics
I used Arduino.ide as the programming software to code for the arduino uno as it is a free and easy to navigate software.
We were also introduced some electronic devices such as switches, motion detector sensor, rotary encoder, LEDs, Neopixels, etc.
We were tasked to try some of these circuits.
 It is connected to the computer through USB. It has the ability to adjust the media volume of the computer simply by rotating the knob clockwise(to increase volume) or anti-clockwise(to decrease volume). It also has RGB lighting which can be seen through the laser-cut holes.
I already had a rough idea of how i wanted it to look like since the start.
I wanted it to be sloped towards the user for a more comfortable experience as the angle makes it easier to control the knob
This is the 3D model of the product.
The RGB lighting shines through the laser-cut holes in the form of a volume symbol.
In order for the volume contoller to work, a rotary encoder have to be used.
It converts angular position to analog or digital inputs.
Next is the brains of the project, the Arduino Nano.
Neopixels are used to give it its RGB lighting.
The main body of the volume controller will be laser-cut 5mm thick wood.
The pieces came out exactly as i wanted it and it all fits perfectly
Fusion360 Top1
Fusion360 Top2
Fusion360 Front
Fusion360 Side
Fusion360Bot1
Fusion360Bot2
Fusion360Bot3
The rotating knob of the volume controller will be 3D printed.
The hole in the middle is for the rotary encoder to be inserted into. The rotary encoder was measured to be 6mm in diameter thus i designed the hole to be 6.5mm. The printed knob has a snug fit which was ideal as it meant that it can be easily installed yet tight enough so that the rotary encoder can rotate when the knob is rotated.
Fusion3603Dprinted
For wiring, it was as simple as connecting the rotary encoder and neopixels to the correct terminals on the breadboard and on the arduino.
As for the codes, I took it from Adafruit. For some reason it could not work with the Arduino Nano so i settled with Arduino Uno instead. Luckily, the shell of my volume controller had enough space to fit both the Arduino Uno and the mini breadboard
Arduino codes
This is how it looks like after integrating all the components
This elective has been fun and educational as we get to learn skills that are hard to find in other modules. Being able to integrate everything we learn during the semester into a final project was tough but meaningful as we overcome different setbacks and challenges.

The registrations are open for the DeepSpec summer school 2018: https://deepspec.org/event/dsss18/
Does anybody else intend to attend?
it looks interesting, but it seems participation is by invitation only, sadly
hopefully they will record lectures and post them online this year
But you can apply!
Whoa... both Pierce and Chlipala, that's quite the "cast" they have :).
I am not a researcher in software certification though. It is unlikely they would accept me. I don't think interested amateurs get grant money :)
Is any of it relevant to your work? If the technology was mature enough, do you think you could make use of it?
as a programmer, when is software certification not relevant?
but yes, i first got interested in software certification when I was looking for help in automatically calculating error bounds on numerical algorithms, and then promptly realized it is super hard to work with floating point numbers
not to mention the theory is supremely tedious, i don't think anybody uses interval arithmetic in practice
I agree :) Let's put my question differently: how hostile is your industry towards verification? I have come to see that most employers look at verification with a lot of suspicion
pretty hostile, because proving things takes up many hours of expensive engineer time
it's far cheaper to sprinkle a few asserts here and there and do testing after the fact
i don't work in a safety-critical industry
Sometimes, that argument sounds like "using a computer is too expensive because writing our own OS and our own compiler takes way too much time"
But you have a point there: it's great when you can find a compromise like that. When the technology is mature, it's no longer a cost to use it. It really pushes you forward. I'm trying to sell Haskell that way.
I wake up every day and offer a small prayer of thanks to the various research funding bodies out there that allow people to spend time thinking about these things :)
but i think it's telling verification has only taken off in the hardware industry where making a mistake costs millions of dollars
I also have the same prayer :) it funds a great hobby of mine
What do you conclude from that fact?
a lot more work needs to go into automated theorem proving
also some mathematician somewhere needs to invent something more practical than interval arithmetic
these are both things I am wildly incapable of doing with my current skillset :)
Careful about putting mathematician and practical in the same sentence! :)
What's interval arithmetic?
I don't think I've ever done anything practical.
Is it legal for mathematicians to do practical stuff? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Interval arithmetic is when you represent numbers as an upper bound and a lower bound on uncertainty and you do arithmetic on those bounds. When you need to round, you round down the lower bound and you round up the upper bound. That allows you to keep tack on the accumulated errors
I think some take offense if you accuse them of doing something with practical applications.
I don't take offense, I don't see what you mean.
But I'm not a native English speaker
Could you define "practical applications"?
Never heard about this
It's when your work is sub-par and not abstract enough.
That's when some call it "practical".
I found it. I knew I already met this "applied" word.
It was in https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/1865/
" On the foundational side, this concerns basics on the etale cohomology of diamonds including smooth and proper base change and Poincare duality, leading up to a good notion of "constructible" sheaves on the stack of G-bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. On the applied side, this concerns the construction of (semisimple) L-parameters, the conjecture of Harris (as modified by Viehmann) on the cohomology of non-basic Rapoport-Zink spaces, and the conjecture of Kottwitz on the cohomology of basic Rapoport-Zink spaces."
Too down-to-earth for me
But what does it say about theorem prover developers that their practical application is helping mathematicians draw pies in the sky?
Yeah, me too. That's why I'm not doing this arithmetic geometry stuff.
I've been explained that theorem provers helping mathematician is an unwanted accident
Haha!
Formal methods have a really fun position where they get contempt from both practitioners and academics
I don't have any contempt here
(I don't even know how to build an English sentence using that word, my attempt sounds weird)
And, in case it's not clear: the story behind the quote with "foundational side/applied side" is that this talk announcement by the most fashionable abstract mathematician made mathematician laugh out loud everywhere it was seen, because the application mentioned is totally inside the world of abstract useless math
I don't see contempt here. It's just that I've been trying to promote the use of formal proofs for a while and I was expecting computer scientists to be excited to get rid of bugs and mathematicians to be excited to gain insight into their subject by the mere shape of their formulas but I've mostly been responded to by computer scientists like I was trying to build a perpetual motion system (unrealistic because of deep truths of the universe that they understand and that I don't) and by mathematician like I was building a huge steam powered machine to tie your shoes (overly grandiose and heavy handed approach to solve an easy problem)
It's certainly true that the vast majority of mathematicians are not yet convinced that proof assistants can be of any use to them
And it's true with the current state of proof assistants
but I hope this is changing
They only need to wait for Lean 4
I think this is a revolution happening slowly. Lean 4 will help of course but with Lean 2 and 3, preparation has been done. Even before that, with Coq and Isabelle, impressive projects have done. And as time passes, the required degree of expertise goes down. You no longer need to be Bertrand Russel to do a completely formal proof. You can even do it without a PhD these days
I keep hearing that the goals are impossible but milestones keep being reached regardless.
I'm not sure what is the next currently planned milestone on the math side of proof assistants
As far as I know, the previous one was the odd order theorem proof
I'm curious about the next one too. It might about formalizing subjects rather than individual proofs next. I'm more familiar with the ones in computer science
Since we already completely spoiled this thread. Let me ask an almost irrelevant question. I clearly don't care about this DeepSpec summer school. But what about that Oxford conference? Do you think it would useful to go there? How many people around here will go there?
Can you share a link?
(we could rename this thread to conferences and meetups)
Looking at the program of previous years doesn't really help
because 2016 talks seem to be very different from 2017
That is a ridiculously large committee.
Is it really such a gigantic area that they need a committee that big?
Or do most people just do nothing?
To me it looks like the 2016 program would have been interesting to me but 2017 was too much CS
Of course it would also be fun if this could the opportunity to actually meet people from this forum
The committee is gigantic indeed
I've never heard of a conference with more organizers than speakers
That sounds like a really cool place to go. I wish I had a paper to present
It seems to me that this CS world is just the same people organising conference after conference
It seems very different to the maths world
That sounds like a really cool place to go. I wish I had a paper to present
In addition to regular papers, described above, there will be a section for shorter papers, which can be used to describe interesting work that is still ongoing and not fully mature. Such a preliminary report is limited to 6 pages and may consist of an extended abstract. Each of these papers should bear the phrase “(short paper)” beneath the title, and will be refereed and be expected to present innovative and promising ideas, possibly in early form. Accepted submissions in this category will be published in the main proceedings and will be presented as short talks.
Presumably you can go without presenting a paper?
Then you get the best of both worlds
It's easier when you go from London to Oxford than from Canada to Oxford
I'm aiming for ITP 2018, if all goes well I will be in Oxford this summer
(to present the Matiyasevich proof)
nice
what's more interesting to me is that they've rolled up 9 conferences into one. just how many people attend these things in person?
I will (most likely) be in Oxford as well, though I haven't sent anything to ITP.
We tend to have specialised algebraic number theory conferences around once every 2 years, and there tend to be hundreds of us that go.
Is it the sort of thing where you can just not bother registering and then show up on the day and meet people and chat to them and gatecrash a few talks (like pretty much every pure maths conference would be)?
My partner goes to medical conference which cost $100s to register and you can't get past security without a badge
I go to maths conferences and the worst that can happen if you don't register is that you have to pay for your own lunch
In my experience, you need to register if you 1) present a paper, 2) want lunch, or 3) want a lanyard. I haven't seen strict badge controls so far.
ITP and CPP are the biggest theorem proving conferences. If you go through the proceedings of the last years you can find some interesting stuff. Also, in computer science, publishing at a conference usually counts as a regular publication. But this means the program committees are bigger, as people need to review the papers upfront. And of course, you can go there without presenting a paper.
@Patrick Massot , I wish I could be more positive but it would not be honest: I do not think that it would be reasonable in your case to go from Canada to Oxford specifically for that event (I hope that Jeremy is not reading...).
It will be very much a CS-style event with short talks meant to be teasers for the paper in the proceedings. As it is part this year of the Federated Logic Conference, it will take place in parallel with other even larger events, and people will possibly spend time rushing between the parallel sessions of a rather dense agenda... Usually, only a fraction of these talks are about formalized maths (as opposed for instance to program verification in general). But I have high expectations for Dan Grayson's invited talk. He will deliver a talk in memoriam of Vladimir Voevodsky but we hope that he will also speak about his own opinion about formalizing mathematics.
Or do most people just do nothing?
@Kevin Buzzard Again, it is very much a CS-style event... These people are reviewing the papers submitted for the proceedings of the conference. In the case of this conference, they had 2 months to read an average of 6 submitted papers. Each of this paper is at most 15 pages and in the case of ITP, papers are usually accompanied with code. So I find it quite demanding to serve on such a committee.
I'm not the one traveling from Canada, that was a comment about Kevin's answer to Simon (Simon is from Canada). I would be travelling from Paris.
I'll probably wait for the talk abstracts, but it seems I shouldn't be too optimistic
And now I have to teach finite fields

steal("can/util","can/compute","can/compute/get_value_and_bind.js",function(can,compute, ObservedInfo){
steal("can/util","can/compute","can/compute/get_value_and_bind.js",function(can,compute, ObservedInfo){
The goal of this is to create a high-performance compute that represents a key value from can.view.Scope.
If the key value is something like {{name}} and the context is a can.Map, a faster
binding path will be used where new rebindings don’t need to be looked for with every change of
the observable property.
However, if the property changes to a compute, then the slower can.compute.read
method of
observing values will be used.
var isFastPath = function(computeData){
return computeData.reads &&
a single property read
computeData.reads.length === 1 &&

computeData.root instanceof can.Map &&
that isn’t calling a function

: root;
can.compute.set(obj, computeData.reads[last].key, newVal, options);
}
} else {
WARN … you can’t set nothing
}
Compute getter
} else {
If computeData has found the value for the key in the past in an observable then go directly to the observable (computeData.root) that the value was found in the last time and return the new value. This is a huge performance gain for the fact that we aren’t having to check the entire scope each time.
if (computeData.root) {
return can.compute.read(computeData.root, computeData.reads, options)
.value;
}
If the key has not already been located in a observable then we need to search the scope for the key. Once we find the key then we need to return it’s value and if it is found in an observable then we need to store the observable so the next time this compute is called it can grab the value directly from the observable.
var data = scope.read(key, options);
computeData.scope = data.scope;
computeData.initialValue = data.value;
computeData.reads = data.reads;
computeData.root = data.rootObserve;
computeData.setRoot = data.setRoot;
return data.value;
}
};
return function(scope, key, options){
options = options || {
args: []
};
the object we are returning
var computeData = {},
a function that can be passed to getValueAndBind, or used as a setter
scopeRead = function (newVal) {
if(arguments.length) {
return scopeReader(scope, key, options, computeData, newVal);
} else {
return scopeReader(scope, key, options, computeData);
}
},
compute = can.compute(undefined,{
on: function() {
setup the observing
readInfo.getValueAndBind();
if( isFastPath(computeData) ) {
When the one dependency changes, we can simply get its newVal and save it. If it’s a function, we need to start binding the old way.
readInfo.dependencyChange = function(ev, newVal){
if(typeof newVal !== "function") {
this.newVal = newVal;
} else {
restore
readInfo.dependencyChange = ObservedInfo.prototype.dependencyChange;

}
return ObservedInfo.prototype.dependencyChange.call(this, ev);
};
readInfo.getValueAndBind = function(){
this.value = this.newVal;

}
TODO deal with this right
compute.computeInstance.value = readInfo.value;

PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
It seems there are three routes a film can take if said picture is a whimsical, ninety-minute comedy set in the British Isles. There's the Full Monty course, which leads to critical acclaim, multiple Oscar nominations and a healthy box office take. There's the Waking Ned Devine path, which results in mixed reviews but fantastic audience response and strong word of mouth. And, of course, there is least desirable road previously traveled by The Matchmaker, which was widely panned and even more widely unseen.
The Closer You Get has elements of each of these films – it's produced by Monty's Uberto Pasolini, set in a wee Irish town like Devine, and its romantic theme is similar to that of The Matchmaker. And like the other three, Closer's story is an unbelievably lightweight but somewhat charming fable. But in terms of overall execution, the picture ends up taking the unfortunate route of The Matchmaker. It's not bad, but the film definitely seems amateurish (it's the first for director Aileen Ritchie and screenwriter William Ivory).
Set in the Irish coastal town of Donegal, Closer is narrated by a teenager named Sean (Sean McDonagh, in his film debut). A dead-ringer for American Pie's Jason Biggs (he even asks a friend what sex feels like, but doesn't actually assault any pastries), Sean tells the viewers how tired he is of taking the rowboat into town, drinking at the pub and then rowing home every night. His repetitive exploits mimic the daily grind of every other single man in Donegal, including butcher Kieran O'Donnell (Ian Hart, The End of the Affair), sheep farmer Ian O'Donnell (Sean McGinley, The General) and rubber-valve fetishist Ollie (Pat Shortt).
One night, these lads cook up a crazy, alcohol-fueled idea – place a personal ad in the Miami Herald and entice hot American babes to accompany them to their town's annual St. Martha's Day dance, and presumably much, much more (read: hot Irish luvin'). Their crass ad targets fit and trim women between the ages of twenty and twenty-one who seek outdoorsmen with an ample supply of meats and fish. Basically, they have a better chance of find a winning lottery ticket in the hand of a local dead man.
When the women in Donegal learn of the men's scheme, they become understandably upset, but that doesn't stop the chaps from venturing into previously unknown realms of hygiene, haircuts, fitness and heavy oyster consumption. Of course, at the end, most of the men predictably end up paired with local gals, despite their wish for broads from abroad. Toward Closer's end, a character explains that `Sometimes the closer you get to something, the further away it seems.' I think the driver's side mirror on my car imparts the same sort of wisdom.
The whole thing plays out like an extra-long episode of television's Emmy Award-winning Northern Exposure, with its far-fetched plot and a zany cast of isolated small-town irregulars. Like NX, characters include `the woman that runs the grocery store/post office' (Ruth McCabe, Circle of Friends), `the cute local girl' (Cathleen Bradley, in her film debut), `the guy that runs the business where everyone hangs out' (Ewan Stewart, Titanic), and even `the guy with the leather jacket and long black hair' (Pat Laffan).
Speaking of hair, Hart is almost unrecognizable (again…I'm not even sure what he's supposed to look like at this point) and has a strange, floppy hair-do like Gary Oldman from The Fifth Element. Then, to prepare for the onslaught of American beauties, Hart's Kieran bleaches his locks, which makes him look like a cross between Oldman and rock ‘n' roll ghoul Johnny Winter. Even though this butcher runs around singing the Bernstein/Sondheim hit `America' and is constantly readjusting his meats (the bits in his pants, not in his shop's display case), you know he's a perfect match for his lovely co-worker Siobhan (Bradley). The ending is even more predictable than Rachel Portman's (recent Oscar nominee for The Cider House Rules) repetitive score.

HOODLUM
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 7.5 Alternative Scale: *** out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 8/27/97 (limited) Running Length: 2:10 MPAA Classification: R (Violence, profanity, brief nudity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Laurence Fishburne, Tim Roth, Andy Garcia, Vanessa L. Williams, Chi McBride, Clarence Williams III, Cicely Tyson, William Atherton, Loretta Devine Director: Bill Duke Producer: Frank Mancuso Jr. Screenplay: Chris Brancato Cinematography: Frank Tidy Music: Elmer Bernstein U.S. Distributor: United Artists
There's something about a well-made gangster movie that never fails to captivate an audience. The romance surrounding the mob, with its seductive lure of wealth, power, and family, is undeniable. The curious mix of violence and charm, with the implicit threat of death lurking behind every toothy smile, adds luster to the mystery. Since its early days, Hollywood has recognized the appeal of mob stories, and some of the best films of all time -- including THE GODFATHER and GOODFELLAS -- have belonged to the genre.
HOODLUM is a period-piece gangster film, harkening back to Depression-era Harlem. While Al Capone was king in Chicago, Lucky Luciano (Andy Garcia) ruled New York, parceling out the city to members of his "Sicilian Syndicate." The 1930s were the mob's heyday, when no cop, special prosecutor, or judge was too expensive to buy, and when the only real law was the one laid down by Luciano or one of his many "associates." Of course, in a place as big as New York, there were bound to be wild cards. One was Dutch Schultz (Tim Roth), a former partner of Luciano's whose forays into the uptown numbers racket put him on a collision course with the Queen of Harlem, Stephanie St. Clair (Cicely Tyson), and her trustworthy friend and protector, Bumpy Johnson (Laurence Fishburne). The resulting turf war between Schultz and the St. Clair/Johnson camp littered the streets of Harlem with bodies, and threatened the mob's security in New York when the violence spread to downtown targets.
The story told in HOODLUM is similar to the one related in Francis Ford Coppola's 1984 feature, THE COTTON CLUB. The setting is the same, many of the characters are the same, and certain aspects of the storylines intersect. The perspective, however, is different. Unlike THE COTTON CLUB, which focused on the lives of many of the "normal" people who frequented and played in the nightclub, HOODLUM, as Bumpy's story, is a relatively straightforward gangster yarn that melds fact with fiction to create a dramatically compelling two hours.
While Chris Brancato's script doesn't reveal anything new or surprising (students of history and fans of THE COTTON CLUB already know how this film ends), it's a competent piece of storytelling that incorporates elements of human interest with the threat of escalating violence. Director Bill Duke (A RAGE IN HARLEM) guides the movie with a firm hand, never allowing the almost-mystical aura of the era to overcome the characters. At times, HOODLUM has the feel of an epic, although certain dubious editing choices (probably made to reduce the running time) mute the effectiveness of several relationships. For example, the love affair between Bumpy and his girlfriend, Francine (Vanessa L. Williams), is developed in fits and starts, with a "musical montage" used to condense several loving months into a minute of screen time.
The acting is top notch. As Bumpy, Fishburne is mesmerizing, displaying his range as an actor by subtly and effectively presenting the variety of emotions that lurk just beneath Bumpy's seemingly-placid exterior. Actually, this is the second time Fishburne has played this role, although his screen time here is considerably more substantial than in THE COTTON CLUB, where he first essayed the part. (THE COTTON CLUB character, despite being named "Bumpy Rhodes", was meant to represent Johnson.) Tim Roth, the versatile British actor who has portrayed almost every kind of character imaginable during his career, brings a flamboyant mix of impatience and casual viciousness to Dutch Schultz. Andy Garcia, on the other hand, is low-key in his approach to Lucky Luciano, presenting the famed mobster as charismatic, urbane, and intelligent, with only a hint of the danger he represents. Of the supporting players, only Vanessa L. Williams seems off-key. Chi McBride (as Bumpy's cousin and right-hand man, Illinois) and Clarence Williams III (as one of Schultz's most dangerous henchmen) are memorable.
For a film that meticulously develops a '30s atmosphere and pays careful attention to certain details (such as the droop of Luciano's right eyelid and the authenticity of his pinky ring), the one very obvious gaffe comes across as jarring. Immediately following an on- screen caption of "December 1934," HOODLUM cuts to an indoor scene where several men are listening to the radio play-by-play of a Yankees game. Baseball in December? Fortunately, none of the film's other mistakes are as blatant.
Overall, HOODLUM represents a very respectable entry into the ever- popular gangster genre, and may be the best tale of this sort from the era since Brian DePalma's THE UNTOUCHABLES. Also, the movie's decision to approach the situation from the point-of-view of several black characters lends a fresh angle to a fairly well-known historical account. For, although HOODLUM is not the definitive chronicle of New York mob activity during the 1930s, its contribution should not be overlooked.

Watch These Movies Before ’21 Bridges’
by Jordan Minor21 Bridges was originally scheduled to come to theaters a few months ago. But maybe the Russo Brothers, who produced this movie, didn’t want it to conflict with that other little movie they made with Chadwick Boseman. Or maybe they figured a gritty cop action movie would be good counter-programming for Frozen 2. That’s a pretty funny Endgame.
Watch these movies before 21 Bridges.
Black Panther
Chadwick Boseman plays the legendary black superhero ruler of the Afrofuturist utopia Wakanda!
The Dark Knight Rises
The bridges in 21 Bridges refers to all the ways to get in and out of Manhattan. As part of a city-wide manhunt, all of the bridges are closed and the island is contained. Since Chadwick Boseman and the Russos naturally make us think of superheroes, this premises reminds us of The Dark Knight Rises where Gotham is similarly isolated because of Bane’s terrorism.
42
Chadwick Boseman plays the legendary black color barrier-busting baseball player Jackie Robinson!
Die Hard
I would rather be stuck in a whole bustling city rather than a single building, but still any cop action movie that traps the characters in a confined location owes a debt to Die Hard.
Get On Up
Chadwick Boseman plays the legendary black soul singer James Brown!
Message from the King
Message from the King is a movie where Chadwick Boseman plays a proud African defending his family’s honor through conflict that isn’t Black Panther. King is just his last name, not a title. That definitely did this on purpose, right?
Marshall
Chadwick Boseman plays the legendary first black Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall… despite looking nothing like him!

If it is pristine white sand beaches you are looking for, come to the Philippines. Mountains or seas, the Philippines have all the wonders of nature in one great vacation spot!
Luzon, the largest island, stretches from the Ilocos province in the north to Sorsogon in the south. It is in Luzon that you will discover the splendor of the Cordillera rice terraces, century-old rice fields fashioned by the Igorots, Ifugao and Kalinga from sides of the mountains. Today it remains one of the most beautiful sceneries in the Philippines.
Still In the northern part of the Philippines is a beach that has big waves and strong winds that is ideal for wind and wave surfing, welcome to Pagudpud.
Framing the coastline of Puerto Princesa City is Honda Bay. The clear waters permits snorkeling and the enclaves afford one to island hop.
Baler and Infanta in Quezon and Daet in Camarines Norte offer more exciting experiences for surfers seeking the extreme with the bigger waves.
In the Visayas, the largest central groups of islands between Luzon and Mindanao, have islands each distinct and interesting.
Bohol for example is famous for its intriguing Chocolate Hills that are plain green and brown depending on the season. On a small island southwest of the bigger island Bohol, is Panglao, a perfect place to dive and swim on a holiday.
Located on the northwestern tip of Panay, Western Visayas, is Boracay. Its fine sand makes it one of the finest beaches in the world.
To the extreme west of Visayas are the islands Samar and Leyte connected by the San Juanico Bridge. Both areas have portions that remain unexplored by tourists. Samar is a good destination for kayaking.
Aside from the underwater caves in Palawan, Mabinay have caves that can be visited. Most wonderfully open to tourists is Crystal Cave. Still in Mabinay are great rapids and rock climbing experiences waiting for you.
In Mindanao, dare swimming into the sunken cemetery in Camiguin islands then have a break tasting the islands’ tangy-sweet lanzones. With its waterfalls and both hot and cold springs, Camiguin keeps tourist coming back again and again.
Dakak Park Beach Resort, located on the beach facing Sulu Sea, is a place wonderfully tacked into a 15- hectare property that offers blissful stay.
Siargao, located in the province of Surigao del Norte, is known for its curling waves as high as twelve feet high which makes it one of the places sought after by surfers. Surfing can be done too in Baler, Quezon in Luzon and Tandag, Surigao del Norte in Mindanao.
The superb rapids of the Philippines lay undiscovered, try the Bubunawan/Cagayan de Oro River, in Misamis Oriental.


This page is an introduction to Handsontable cell types:
The below example shows all built-in cell types (in other words, combinations of cell renderers and editors) available in Handsontable:
The same example also shows the declaration of custom cell renderers, namely yellowRenderer
and
greenRenderer
.
A cell type is a predefined set of cell properties. Cell type defines what renderer and editor should be used for a cell. They can also define any different cell property that will be assumed for each matching cell.
For example writing:
columns: [{
type: 'text'
}]
Equals:
columns: [{
renderer: Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer,
editor: Handsontable.editors.TextEditor
}]
This mapping is defined in file src/cellTypes.js


Peter Sarsgaard Has Been Cast in The Batman in an Unknown Role
by Julie MuncyThough fans have a guess… or two.
Matt Reeves made Bat-waves yesterday when he posted a simple tweet. Only three words, and one gif. The words? “Oh… Hi, Peter…” Oh, and there was also a Bat emoji. That part is pretty important.
That’s right, it appears Sarsgaard is next in line to join the frankly incredible cast of The Batman, alongside Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, and Paul Dano. Only problem is, Reeves didn’t divulge what might be the most important detail: who he’s playing. Fans have a guess, though, based on rumours about the film and some hints posted online.
One such hint might come from the Instagram of Sarsgaard’s wife, former Bat-star herself Maggie Gyllenhaal, who, concurrent with the announcement, posted an image of Sarsgaard mid-shave. Which is to say, solidly halfway through it.
Image: Maggie Gyllenhaal on Instagram
Yep, that, along with the weird second face in the Sarsgaard gif chosen by Reeves, and just general rumours that the film might be taking inspiration from The Long Halloween, a lot of fans are assuming that Sarsgaard is going to be playing Harvey Dent, Two-Face himself. Is this true? I have no idea. But I think it would be neat!
For more The Batman news, stay tuned to Gizmodo. The movie is scheduled to hit cinemas on 25th June 2021, with filming starting next month.

Learning LoopScript
Introduction
LoopScript is a text format which allows you to describe sounds, and then usem in interesting loop patterns to make beats or melodies. You can then combine those loops into longer tracks to create songs. Any sound or pattern you create can be individually played or exported as a sound file. Sounds are created using a simple declarative format. A 1.5 second C note might look like this in LoopScript:
This defines a new sound named "introsound". This sound can be referenced by name in other places in the LoopScript to be used as a source for loop patterns or other sound manipulation. When playing around on the website (such as the Playground) or if not specified on the commandline, LoopScript will always just generate the last thing declared. The commandline version lets you specify a sound by name to generate if you just want to test the output of a sound without having to listen to the entire thing every time. The rest of this page can be read/skimmed in order to see all of the features of LoopScript, or used as a reference via the table of contents above.
Format
LoopScript is pretty light on punctuation, and relies on line breaks an indents for most of its formatting. As in other formats/languages where indentation is significant, you can choose how much you want to indent each section provided that you are consistent (always use 2 space indents or a single tab indent, etc). Most sounds are a type (such as "tone") followed by your name for it, followed by some indented lines which define its settings. Names cannot contain spaces, but are otherwise pretty loose. Keeping the names simple and terse is best as you'll be referencing them later in your LoopScripts. Any setting you choose can be used outside of a sound declaration to change the default. For example, the bpm setting ("beats per minute") is only meaningful to a loop definition, but you can set it at top of your LoopScript to set the default bpm for any upcoming loops. You can also change it later in a global place and it'll only affect loops that haven't been declared yet. This works for any setting. Comments are made with the hash mark ("#"), and continue to the end of the line. An arrow pointing to the right ("->") can be used an alternative to an indent, and a semicolon and break up multiple settings on the same line. (experimental)
Tones
A tone is a description of a single waveform:
Tones have the following settings:
- wave - What type of waveform. sine is the default, and currently the only choice.
- duration - The length of the sound in milliseconds.
- note - Sets the frequency to a note (used with octave). A- are their respective notes, and H-L are the "black keys" of a piano (sharps/flats).
- octave - A value between 0 and 8 indicating the octave on a piano (0 is the bass end).
- freq - Directly set the frequency of the waveform. This overrides the note/octave pair.
- volume - A relative volume change. 1.0 is the default, which does not alter the volume.
- clip - true/false When used in a loop, this determines whether the sound will "clip" (overwrite) itself if played again before the previous duration finishes. If it is false, it will mix them together. Defaults to true.
- reverb - Sets the reverb (echo) on a waveform. Takes two values: a delay (integer) and a decay (floating point value). The delay is how long in milliseconds to repeat the sound, and decay is how much the volume decays for each echoed sound. (ex. reverb 250 0.5)
- adsr - Uses an ADSR envelope on the waveform. Takes 4 floats represent, ex. "adsr 0.005 0.05 0.7 0.05". See the ADSR section to understand what these values mean.
Here is an example of a more complicated tone:
Samples
Samples are external sound effects, read in from WAV files. Currently, LoopScript only supports 16 bit, 44.1KHz, mono WAV files.
Samples support the following settings:
- src - Location of the WAV file. Required. (no default value)
- volume - A relative volume change. 1.0 is the default, which does not alter the volume.
- clip - true/false When used in a loop, this determines whether the sound will "clip" (overwrite) itself if played again before the previous duration finishes. If it is false, it will mix them together. Defaults to true.
- reverb - Sets the reverb (echo) on a waveform. Takes two values: a delay (integer) and a decay (floating point value). The delay is how long in milliseconds to repeat the sound, and decay is how much the volume decays for each echoed sound. (ex. reverb 250 0.5)
- srcnote - The perceived note of the sample (A-L). This is useful for changing the pitch of a sample for a melody, such as a sample of a single guitar note.
- srcoctave - The perceived octave of the sample. (0-8)
- note - The requested note. If different than srcnote, the sample's pitch will be adjusted.
- octave - The requested octave. If different than srcoctave, the sample's pitch will be adjusted.
Loops
Loops are mixes of sounds in timed patterns. A loop requires at least one pattern which has the sound it will be repeating and a string of letters which represent the pattern itself. An example:
Pattern strings must always be a multiple of 16 characters, but has no limit to its length (within reason). Loops support the following settings:
- bpm - Beats Per Minute, aka tempo. 120 default.
- pattern - Explained above. Takes another sound's name and a pattern string.

Can we call every human living in this planet a writer? The answer is easy - Yes, we all are. Now the question is how? Everyday from morning to night, some of we spent normal people's life and some don't. But one thing we have common we all get memory for future. Now-a-days people are so attached with virtual life that they don't feel the need of keeping a notebook or journal to write down about life's sweet memory. Just posting some selfies or status will not be able to fulfill the gap. Diary is raw peace and it always will be. So here is why I'm writing in a diary. This diary may contains some personal life memory or sometimes untold story.

Documents Ganeti version 2.12
Contents
Currently in Ganeti the admin has to specify the exact locations for an instance’s node(s). This prevents a completely automatic node evacuation, and is in general a nuisance.
The iallocator framework will enable automatic placement via external scripts, which allows customization of the cluster layout per the site’s requirements.
There are two parts of the ganeti operation that are impacted by the auto-allocation: how the cluster knows what the allocator algorithms are and how the admin uses these in creating instances.
An allocation algorithm is just the filename of a program installed in a defined list of directories.
At configure time, the list of the directories can be selected via the --with-iallocator-search-path=LIST option, where LIST is a comma-separated list of directories. If not given, this defaults to $libdir/ganeti/iallocators, i.e. for an installation under /usr, this will be /usr/lib/ganeti/iallocators.
Ganeti will then search for allocator script in the configured list, using the first one whose filename matches the one given by the user.
The node selection options in instance add and instance replace disks can be replace by the new --iallocator=NAME option (shortened to -I), which will cause the auto-assignement of nodes with the passed iallocator. The selected node(s) will be shown as part of the command output.
The protocol for communication between Ganeti and an allocator script will be the following:
The input message will be the JSON encoding of a dictionary containing all the required information to perform the operation. We explain the contents of this dictionary in two parts: common information that every type of operation requires, and operation-specific information.
All input dictionaries to the IAllocator must carry the following keys:
a dictionary with the data for the cluster’s node groups; it is keyed on the group UUID, and the values are a dictionary with the following keys:
a dictionary with the data for the current existing instance on the cluster, indexed by instance name; the contents are similar to the instance definitions for the allocate mode, with the addition of:
dictionary with the data for the nodes in the cluster, indexed by the node name; the dict contains [*] :
No allocations should be made on nodes having either the drained or offline flags set. More details about these of node status flags is available in the manpage ganeti(7).
| [*] | Note that no run-time data is present for offline, drained or non-vm_capable nodes; this means the tags total_memory, reserved_memory, free_memory, total_disk, free_disk, total_cpus, i_pri_memory and i_pri_up memory will be absent |
All input dictionaries to the IAllocator carry, in the request dictionary, detailed information about the operation that’s being requested. The required keys vary depending on the type of operation, as follows.
In all cases, it includes:
- type
the request type; this can be either allocate, relocate, change-group or node-evacuate. The allocate request is used when a new instance needs to be placed on the cluster. The relocate request is used when an existing instance needs to be moved within its node group.
The multi-evacuate protocol used to request that the script computes the optimal relocate solution for all secondary instances of the given nodes. It is now deprecated and needs only be implemented if backwards compatibility with Ganeti 2.4 and lower is needed.
The change-group request is used to relocate multiple instances across multiple node groups. node-evacuate evacuates instances off their node(s). These are described in a separate design document.
The multi-allocate request is used to allocate multiple instances on the cluster. The request is beside of that very similiar to the allocate one. For more details look at Ganeti bulk create.
For both allocate and relocate mode, the following extra keys are needed in the request dictionary:
- name
- the name of the instance; if the request is a realocation, then this name will be found in the list of instances (see below), otherwise is the FQDN of the new instance; type string
- required_nodes
- how many nodes should the algorithm return; while this information can be deduced from the instace’s disk template, it’s better if this computation is left to Ganeti as then allocator scripts are less sensitive to changes to the disk templates; type integer
- disk_space_total
- the total disk space that will be used by this instance on the (new) nodes; again, this information can be computed from the list of instance disks and its template type, but Ganeti is better suited to compute it; type integer
Allocation needs, in addition:
- disks
list of dictionaries holding the disk definitions for this instance (in the order they are exported to the hypervisor):
- mode
- either ro or rw denoting if the disk is read-only or writable
- size
- the size of this disk in mebibytes
- nics
a list of dictionaries holding the network interfaces for this instance, containing:
- ip
- the IP address that Ganeti know for this instance, or null
- mac
- the MAC address for this interface
- bridge
- the bridge to which this interface will be connected
- vcpus
- the number of VCPUs for the instance
- disk_template
- the disk template for the instance
- memory
- the memory size for the instance
- os
- the OS type for the instance
- tags
- the list of the instance’s tags
- hypervisor
- the hypervisor of this instance
Relocation:
- relocate_from
- a list of nodes to move the instance away from; for DRBD-based instances, this will contain a single node, the current secondary of the instance, whereas for shared-storage instance, this will contain also a single node, the current primary of the instance; type list of strings
As for node-evacuate, it needs the following request arguments:
- instances
- a list of instance names to evacuate; type list of strings
- evac_mode
- specify which instances to evacuate; one of primary-only, secondary-only, all, type string
change-group needs the following request arguments:
- instances
- a list of instance names whose group to change; type list of strings
- target_groups
- must either be the empty list, or contain a list of group UUIDs that should be considered for relocating instances to; type list of strings
multi-allocate needs the following request arguments:
- instances
- a list of request dicts
Additional information is available from mond. Mond’s data collectors provide information that can help an allocator script make better decisions when allocating a new instance. Mond’s information may also be accessible from a mock file mainly for testing purposes. The file will be in JSON format and will present an array of report objects.
The response message is much more simple than the input one. It is also a dict having three keys:
the output of the algorithm; even if the algorithm failed (i.e. success is false), this must be returned as an empty list
for allocate/relocate, this is the list of node(s) for the instance; note that the length of this list must equal the requested_nodes entry in the input message, otherwise Ganeti will consider the result as failed
for the node-evacuate and change-group modes, this is a dictionary containing, among other information, a list of lists of serialized opcodes; see the design document for a detailed description
for the multi-allocate mode this is a tuple of 2 lists, the first being element of the tuple is a list of succeeded allocation, with the instance name as first element of each entry and the node placement in the second. The second element of the tuple is the instance list of failed allocations.
Note
Current Ganeti version accepts either result or nodes as a backwards-compatibility measure (older versions only supported nodes)

There haven't been many days that left Cubs fans satisfied, but Monday was a day that brought both immediate satisfaction and signals that many more of these days are on the horizon.
On this week's episode of our podcast, we pointed to the reasons that the Cubs finished over .500 in the month of June and many of these reasons involve players that will be part of the future of this organization. We discussed Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro anchoring the offense and the young pitchers that have recently performed well. If you're talking recent pitching performances, Jake Arrieta had a humdinger Monday evening in Boston.
With Samardzija and Hammel likely on their way out in the next month, Arrieta's performance this year, Dallas Beeler's start on Saturday and the handful of starters in Iowa will make those departures not quite as devastating to the pitching staff as the trades of pitchers we've seen in the last few years.
McLeod admitted that the Padres GM job is one of his dream jobs, but his reasoning for staying with the Cubs should excite us.
...as I got to reflect on it, this is where I want to be right now. I got so many good things going on right now. to sound corny, we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this. I just really believe in the vision and direction. I really want to be here when we win.
In his 12 games since joining Iowa, Bryant is hitting .333/.412/.800. Bryant now has 6 home runs (in 12 games!) and 3 doubles. It's probably only a matter of time until Bryant starts hauling in weekly performance awards at AAA like he did in AA. Bryant was named the Southern League Player of the Week 3 times in the first half of this season.
Since his promotion from Boise to Kane County, Schwarber is hitting .412/.512/.882 with 4 home runs. He's kept his strikeouts down, with 7 of them compared to 6 walks. Kris Bryant was the top college bat in his draft and within a year of signing is at AAA. Schwarber is not Kris Bryant, but he's clearly not having any issues with lower level minor league pitching and I think we'll see him start 2015 with Tennessee.
Daury Torrez of Kane County was named the Pitcher of the Week in the Midwest League. Torrez was dominant in his one outing during the week. He went 8 innings and gave up 5 hits, striking out 7 and walking none vs. Wisconsin. Torrez is now 8-3 with a 3.14 ERA on the season for Kane County.
On this week's podcast episode, I talked about how I'd like to see Arismendy Alcantara promoted to the Cubs soon. To win the weekly award in the PCL, Alcantara hit .517 with 2 home runs. Alcantara is now hitting .305/.347/.543 with 22 doubles, 10 triples and 10 home runs for Iowa this season. There have recently been rumors that Darwin Barney could be included as a pot sweetener in an upcoming trade. That would pave the way for an Alcantara promotion.
Oh yeah...and Manny Ramirez hit a home run for the Iowa Cubs.
It was a good day.
