--- layout: toplevelcontent title: WebAssembly Web Components and Custom Elements description: Develop Web Components with rustwasm WebAssembly. keyword: webassembly web component, wasm custom element, wasm web components ---
I have previously written about using Emscripten to develop W3C Web Components with WebAssembly. The process involves the use of JavaScript to define a Web Component, which in turn loads a WebAssembly module to perform the necessary tasks.
In this article we are going to illustrate how to create a W3C Web Component with rustwasm WebAssembly "natively". In case you have not used the Rust programming language before, the overview below should get you up to speed quickly.
Rust is a programming language that empowers everyone to build reliable and efficient software. An important characteristic is its rich type system and ownership memory-safety, enabling it to not require a garbage collector. This results in Rust applications to be blazingly fast, memory-efficient and have no unpredictable garbage collection pauses.
rustwasm is an open source project by Mozilla that enables you to write Rust programs and compile it to WebAssembly (wasm). Without requiring a runtime or garbage collector, WebAssembly (wasm) modules written in rustwasm is small and contains no extra bloat.
wasm-bindgen is part of rustwasm that is used for facilitating high-level interactions between wasm modules and JavaScript. You can use it to import JavaScript functions/Web APIs for use in Rust or export WASM functions defined in Rust for use in JavaScript. This interoperability is useful in ensuring that a rustwasm program have access to all the available APIs of the browser and existing JavaScript applications can flexibly plug in a wasm module and interact with it.
{% include aa1.html %}
1. In our Linux, Windows or Mac Terminal, enter the following command to install wasm-bindgen.
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
2. Next, create a new rustwasm (Rust WebAssembly) project with the following command.
cargo new webassembly_webcomponent --lib
You should see the following message.
Created library `webassembly_webcomponent` package
A new "webassembly_webcomponent" rustwasm package has been created.
3. Using a text editor, open "Cargo.toml", and see that it contains the following.
[package]
name = "webassembly_webcomponent"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["djembe-waka "]
edition = "2018"
[dependencies]
Change the contents to the following.
[package]
name = "webassembly_webcomponent"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["djembe-waka "]
edition = "2018"
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
[dependencies]
js-sys = "0.3.4"
wasm-bindgen = "0.2.54"
console_error_panic_hook = "0.1.6"
[dependencies.web-sys]
version = "0.3.4"
features = [
'console',
'Window',
'Document',
'DocumentFragment',
'Node',
'Element',
'HtmlElement',
'HtmlSlotElement',
'HtmlTemplateElement',
'CustomElementRegistry',
'ShadowRoot',
'ShadowRootInit',
'ShadowRootMode',
]
In the above, we specify the use of wasm-bindgen (0.2.52 or above is required), web-sys and js-sys. As described earlier, wasm-bindgen is used for facilitating high-level interactions between wasm modules and JavaScript. For example, if we need to use the browsers "Window" or "Document" objects or other functions in our rustwasm application, we can use wasm-bindgen to import and use them. It is a low-level library to ensure that everything we require from the browser (all Web APIs and JavaScript objects) can be imported to our rustwasm application.
In our Web Component, we also web-sys and js-sys, which are built on top of wasm-bindgen, to further ease our development process. In the above, we have specified the use the "console", "Window", "Document", "Node" and "Element" and other features from web-sys. When our application is compiled, all the wasm-bindgen bindings and imports will be automatically generated for us, saving us a lot of work.
With the features specified above, we can write a rustwasm application that uses the different browser objects to add a "Hello World" paragraph element as shown below.
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
#[wasm_bindgen(start)]
pub fn run() -> Result<(), JsValue> {
let window = web_sys::window().expect("no window exists");
let document = window.document().expect("window should have a document");
let body = document.body().expect("document should have a body");
let val = document.create_element("p")?;
val.set_inner_html("Hello World from webassemblyMan!");
body.append_child(&val)?;
Ok(())
}
The addition thing to note in "Cargo.toml" is that we have also enabled "HtmlElement" and "ShadowRoot" etc. which are objects we require for defining a Web Component.
4. Next, use a text editor and create a "index.html" file. Change the content of the file to the following:

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>WebAssembly WebComponent</title>

WebComponent Template

<template id="webassembly-webcomponent">

<slot name="webcomponent-text">Default Text</slot>

</template>
<webassembly-webcomponent>
Hello World!
</webassembly-webcomponent>
<webassembly-webcomponent>

rustwasm

Emscripten

Blazor

</webassembly-webcomponent>

This is a HTML file that defines a template and CSS style for our Web Component.
By now, you would have noticed that we have defined a "webassembly-webcomponent" tag. To use this tag (Web Component), we can specify the following in our HTML file.
<webassembly-webcomponent>
Hello World!
</webassembly-webcomponent>
5. Create a "main.js" to load our wasm (WebAssembly) module.
export default import('./pkg').catch(console.error);
6. Use a text editor, open "src/lib.rs" and change the contents of the file to the following:
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
use wasm_bindgen::JsCast;
#[wasm_bindgen(prototype=web_sys::HtmlElement)]
pub struct WebAssemblyWebComponent;
#[wasm_bindgen]
impl WebAssemblyWebComponent {
#[wasm_bindgen(constructor)]
pub fn new() -> WasmType<WebAssemblyWebComponent> {
let owned = instantiate! {
super();
WebAssemblyWebComponent
};
let this = owned.borrow();
let window = web_sys::window().unwrap();
let document = window.document().unwrap();
let template = document
.get_element_by_id("webassembly-webcomponent").unwrap()
.unchecked_into::<web_sys::HtmlTemplateElement>();
let template_content = template.content();
this.attach_shadow(
&web_sys::ShadowRootInit::new(web_sys::ShadowRootMode::Open)
).unwrap()
.append_child(&template_content.clone_node_with_deep(true)
.unwrap()).unwrap();
}
}
#[wasm_bindgen(start)]
pub fn main() {
console_error_panic_hook::set_once();
let window = web_sys::window().unwrap();
let document = window.document().unwrap();
window.custom_elements().define(
webassembly-webcomponent",
&js_sys::Function::of::<WebAssemblyWebComponent>(),
).unwrap();
let slotted_span =
document.query_selector("webassembly-webcomponent span")
.unwrap().unwrap();
web_sys::console::log_1(&slotted_span.assigned_slot().unwrap());
web_sys::console::log_1(&slotted_span.slot().into());
}
The first part of the rustwasm code above defines a "WebAssemblyWebComponent" struct using "web_sys::HtmlElement". The template we defined in our HTML page is read in (imported) with the Rust code below.
.
.
.
let template = document
.get_element_by_id("webassembly-webcomponent").unwrap()
.unchecked_into::();
.
.
.

The "main" function register our custom element. We have also used web_sys::console::log_1 to log the slot placeholder in our Web Component to the browser's console.
.
.
.
#[wasm_bindgen(start)]
pub fn main() {
console_error_panic_hook::set_once();
let window = web_sys::window().unwrap();
let document = window.document().unwrap();
window.custom_elements().define(
"webassembly-webcomponent",
&js_sys::Function::of::<WebAssemblyWebComponent>(),
).unwrap();
let slotted_span =
document.query_selector("webassembly-webcomponent span")
.unwrap().unwrap();
web_sys::console::log_1(&slotted_span.assigned_slot().unwrap());
web_sys::console::log_1(&slotted_span.slot().into());
}
.
.
.
7. Compile the rustwasm code with the following command. The wasm module is generated in the "pkg" folder.
wasm-pack build --target web
8. Run our development Web Server with the following command.
python3 -m http.server
9. You should see the following output on your browser:
[IMAGE]
The following lifecycle callbacks of a Web Component are also supported "natively" in rustwasm.
// Specify observed attributes so that
// attributeChangedCallback will work
#[wasm_bindgen(getter = observedAttributes)]
pub fn observed_attributes() -> js_sys::Array {
.
.
.
}
#[wasm_bindgen(js_name="connectedCallback")]
pub fn connected_callback(&self) {
web_sys::console::log_1(&"connectedCallback.".into());
}
#[wasm_bindgen(js_name="disconnectedCallback")]
pub fn disconnected_callback(&self) {
web_sys::console::log_1(&"disconnectedCallback.".into());
}
#[wasm_bindgen(js_name="adoptedCallback")]
pub fn adopted_callback(&self) {
web_sys::console::log_1(&"adoptedCallback.".into());
}
#[wasm_bindgen(js_name="attributeChangedCallback")]
pub fn attribute_changed_callback(&self, _name: &str,
_old_value: Option<String>, _new_value: &str) {
web_sys::console::log_1(&"attributeChangedCallback.".into());
}
rustwasmWebAssemblyWebComponent.zip
Our tutorial and sample have illustrated how you can create a W3C Web Component (Custom Element) "natively using rustwasm WebAssembly, with the help of wasm-bindgen, web-sys and js-sys. If you recall, all our codes involve almost little or almost no JavaScript. Please forgive me for saying this, it appears that rustwasm is attempting to replace JavaScript with Rust in the browser "TOTALLY". Yes, you heard it right, "TOTALLY".
The other thing interesting to note is rustwasm is doing all this without specifically requiring a runtime or framework. This way, you can replace parts of your front-end web application surgically. Alternatively, frameworks that is built on top of rustwasm, has started appearing, to help you replace your front-end application in a "big bang" manner. rustwasm flexibility, together with its optimized output code size will appeal to many developers.
Oh, did I forget to mention the WASI (WebAssembly outside the browser) and the Gloo project of rustwasm?

1. Chanting mantras, breaking barriers: Kerala’s first Dalit priest takes charge
In news:
- Yedu Krishnan scripted history by becoming the first Dalit priest in Kerala to assume duties at the sanctum sanctorum of the Manappuram Lord Shiva Temple at nearby Thiruvalla.
- Yedu Krishnan is among six Dalits out of the 36 non-Brahmins recommended for appointment as priests by the Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board.
- 36 non-brahmins were recently recommended for appointment in various temples under the Travancore Devaswom Board, which manages at least 1,248 shrines in the State, including the famous Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala.
1. SC brings back ban on firecrackers in Delhi-NCR region
In news:
- The Supreme Court suspended the sale of firecrackers in Delhi and NCR till November 1, 2017 in a bid to test whether a Deepavali without firecrackers this year will have a “positive effect” on the health of citizens and a steadily deteriorating air quality.
- November 2016 decision: suspend sales of firecrackers “to test itself to find out whether there would be a positive effect of this suspension, particularly during Deepavali period.”
- Key Points:
- Adverse effects of burning of crackers during Deepavali have been witnessed year after year.
- The air quality deteriorates abysmally and the city chokes.
- It leads to closing the schools and the authorities are compelled to take various measures on emergent basis, when faced with a “health emergency”.
- Sulphur in fireworks should not be permitted: Sulphur on combustion produces sulphur-dioxide and the same is extremely harmful to health. The CPCB has stated that between 9 p.m. to midnight on Deepavali day, the levels of sulphur-dioxide content in the air is dangerously high.
2. MP govt announces Rs 2 lakh aid for widow remarriage
In news:
- Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced a slew of measures for women in the state, including a financial assistance of Rs two lakh for remarriage of widows.
- The Below Poverty Line (BPL) status would no longer be required for availing the widow pension in the state.
- Chouhan also announced a relaxation in the physical fitness parameters for female candidates appearing for a police constable recruitment test.
- Sanitary napkins would be made available at 50 per cent rates in the predominantly tribal blocks of the state.
- Seeking to ensure the safety and security of girls: school buses in the state would be equipped with CCTV cameras to prevent untoward incidents like eve-teasing.
- Laws ensuring due share to women in ancestral properties would be strictly implemented.
3. Matrimonial disputes should be heard in camera: SC
In news:
Historic verdict:
- A three-judge Bench of the Supreme Court, with a 2:1 majority, overruled its earlier orders to conduct matrimonial disputes cases through video conferencing
- Bench Observation: it is very doubtful whether the emotional bond can be established in a virtual meeting during video conferencing and it may even create a dent in the process of settlement.
- Rulings: matrimonial disputes should be conducted in camera in the spirit of Section 11 of the Family Courts Act of 1984 and video conferencing would destroy the privacy of the proceedings and probably defeat the cause of justice.
- Earlier decision:
- The majority judgment set aside a decision by a two-judge Bench of the Supreme Court, directing all high courts to issue administrative instructions to family courts across the country to open video conferencing facilities and use the technology to conduct marital disputes whenever one of the parties — husband or wife — requests for it.
- The court had said this would spare the parties the drudgery of appearing in person for the proceedings.
4. SC refers to Constitution Bench plea over conversion of Parsi woman
In news:
- The Supreme Court referred to a Constitution Bench the question whether a Parsi woman can keep her religious identity intact after getting married to someone from another faith under the Special Marriage Act.
- Senior advocates Indira Jaising arguments:
- Denying a woman respect and the right to observe her religion merely because she married outside her faith was violative of her fundamental right to religion enshrined under Article 25 of the Constitution.
- A woman’s identity is not merged with that of her husband on marriage, Ms. Jaising argued.
- ‘Doctrine of coverture,’ which holds that a woman loses her identity and legal right with marriage, is violative of her fundamental rights. The doctrine is not recognised by the Indian Constitution.
5. Impact evaluation: Why flagship BPL health insurance scheme is in rather poor health
In news:
- The head of the Indian Council of Medical Research, Dr Soumya Swaminathan, has become the first Indian on the global leadership team of the World Health Organisation
Quantitative evaluation of the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY)
- One of the main objectives of any health insurance scheme is to provide financial coverage (or risk protection) by reducing such burden while enhancing use of healthcare
- RSBY has not been able to reduce out-of-pocket payment for healthcare for the poor, and they face the catastrophic impact of such payments
India and RSBY:
- Outpatient care comprises up to 70% of total healthcare utilization in India and 60% of total health expenditure
- It has by far been excluded from RSBY coverage
- Because OP is not covered, people could delay seeking care until they are more severely ill, which is costly both from the perspective of costs and health
- Despite rising healthcare costs, the scheme continues to be capped at Rs 30,000 since 2008
- For a family of 4 or 4.5 persons, this is grossly inadequate
Positive impact of the scheme
- One positive impact of the scheme was in non-medical spending
- The poor increased their household consumption level, or non-medical spending, after RSBY intervention
- This can be called “virtual income transfer”
Other schemes:
- An evaluation of the Yeshasvini scheme in Karnataka by researchers from Delhi University reported an over 70% reduction in out-pocket spending and a 30% reduction in borrowings
- Evaluating the Rajiv Aarogyasri scheme in Andhra Pradesh in 2012, the nonprofit think tank Centre for Global Development found reduced inpatient out-of-pocket spending among enrolled families in phase I of the study, but relatively small impacts on outpatient out-of-pocket spending, and catastrophic payments
Basic Information:
Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY)
- RSBY, a tax-financed health insurance that is managed through private insurance companies, was introduced in 2008 for inpatient care to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families
- The scheme aims to provide health insurance coverage to the unrecognized sector workers belonging to the BPL category and their family members shall be beneficiaries under this scheme
- Scheme enables them to receive inpatient medical care of up to ₹30,000 per family per year in any of the empanelled hospitals
- The scheme has won plaudits from the World Bank, the UN and the ILO as one of the world’s best health insurance schemes
Category: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS/BILATERAL RELATIONS
Failure of the EU –India Summit held in New Delhi
- Failed to agree on the resumption of talks on the investment and free trade agreement.
- Diplomatic officials say the tough comments are a signal of the growing unhappiness among European diplomats over the long period it has taken to get talks on the Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA), as it is known, back on track after they broke down in 2013.
What’s wrong?
- Commerce Ministry officials have repeatedly said that India is ready to restart talks, but would like to discuss a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement including investment, while the EU is keen to finalise the bilateral investment treaty first, given that India has allowed all its BITs with European countries and others to lapse in the past year.
1. Jobs big worry as economy remains in ‘pessimistic zone’, show RBI surveys
Context:
- Recently released RBI’s Consumer Confidence Survey and other important surveys.
Survey:
- Consumer Confidence Survey is a survey undertaken by the RBI.
- It obtained responses on household perceptions and expectations on the general economic situation, the employment scenario, the overall price situation and their own income and spending.
- It was conducted in six metropolitan cities– Mumbai, Kolkata, New Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru.
Key Highlights:
- The survey indicated that more people see consumer confidence declining, business sentiment in manufacturing dipping, inflation on the rise and growth sliding.
- There are two sub-indices in the survey- Current Situation Index (CSI) and Future Expectations Index (FEI)
- The CSI slipped further into the pessimistic zone, reflecting deterioration in sentiments on the employment scenario, the price level and income. Same was the case with the FEI which slipped relative to its previous reading in June 2017.
- There are five main variables in the survey on which responses from public were sought. These are Economic situation, Income, Spending, Employment and Price level.
- 7 per cent of respondents say the economic situation has worsened in September 2017 as against 25.3 per cent in the same period last year. The response for “one year ahead expectation” shows a decline to 50.8 per cent on the issue of economy “will improve” — down from 66.3 per cent in December 2016. The response for the current perception on the general economic situation showed 34.6 per cent saying “improved” as of September 2017, down from 44.6 per cent in September 2016.
- Employment prospects have been the biggest cause of worry for respondents. 7 per cent of respondents believed current perception about employment has “worsened”, which is much higher than the 31.4 per cent in November 2016.
- The perception of people on income levels has also come down to 26.6 per cent in September 2017 from 37.3 per cent in November 2016
- Despite gloomy sentiment on income, more than 80 per cent of respondents reported increased spending over the past year, which could partly be attributed to higher prices.
Key Highlights from other surveys:
- RBI’s Survey of Professional Forecasters on Macroeconomic Indicators, said that forecasters have moderated their growth expectation for 2017-18 and 2018-19 in view of tempered assessment of private consumption demand and industrial growth.
- Real gross domestic product (GDP) and real gross value added (GVA) are likely to grow by 6.8 and 6.6 per cent, respectively, in 2017-18 and at 7.4 per cent each in 2018-19.
- The survey also says headline Consumer Price Inflation and Core Inflation are going to grow to 5.0% and 4.9% in Q2 in 2018-19.
- On the external front: improvement in external trade in both this as well as next year.
- In another survey- Industrial Outlook Survey of the Manufacturing Sector for Q2 of 2017-18- business sentiment in the manufacturing sector has worsened.

GS Paper III
- How globalization has led to the reduction of employment in the formal sector of the Indian economy? Is increased informalization detrimental to the development of the country?
GS Paper IV
Case study
You are recently posted as district development officer of a district. Shortly thereafter you found that there is considerable tension in the rural areas of your district on the issue of sending girls to schools.
The elders of the village feel that many problems have come up because girls are being educated and they are stepping out of the safe environment of the household. They are of the view that the girls should be quickly married off with minimum education. The girls are also competing for jobs after education, which have traditionally remained in boys’ exclusive domain, adding to unemployment amongst male population.
The younger generation feels that in the present era, girls should have equal opportunities for education and employment, and other means of livelihood. The entire locality is divided between the elders and the younger lot and further sub-divided between sexes in both generations. You come to know that in Panchayat or in other local bodies or even in busy crossroads, the issue is being acrimoniously debated.
One day you are informed that an unpleasant incident has taken place. Some girls were molested, when they were en route to schools. The incident led to clashes between several groups and a law and order problem has arisen. The elders after heated discussion have taken a joint decision not to allow girls to go to school and to socially boycott all such families, which do not follow their dictate.
- What steps would you take to ensure girls’ safety without disrupting their education?
- How would you manage and mould matriarchic attitude of the village elders to ensure harmony in the inter-generational relations? (250 words) (25 Marks)

CodeReddit Reborn is a gag site where you can browse reddit while appearing to be working on code. It was made by Kyle Petrovich as a way to practice using jQuery.
It was inspired in part by MSWorddit.com and the original codereddit (may it rest in peace).
CodeReddit's dynamic workings are made entirely in javascript, taking advantage of jQuery, Snippet, and jQuery BBQ.
It is available on GitHub, and I'd love to see it improved upon. Though in all honesty, this whole thing is super hacky. Started it on a whim one afternoon and didn't really put any thought into architecture.

How we achieved predicting COVID-19 cases with 99% accuracy.
This is the second article in our series about COVID-19 case predictions using time series and machine learning models. The first article is linked here. The goal is to find a model to forecast the next 30 days of total COVID cases. We will do so for the United States and compare prediction capabilities between ETS and ARIMA models using Alteryx. We achieved 99% prediction accuracy with the ARIMA model, much higher than the previous prediction accuracy provided by the Facebook Prophet Model (95%).
The characteristics of a time series dataset consists of:
- Continuous data over a long period of time
- The data is in sequential order
- Every consecutive pair of points are one day apart from each other
- There is at most one value per date listed.
We are also attempting to provide a forecast for the following 30 days; hence we will hold out the last samples.
If we look at Figure 1, we can see how there is an upward trend occurring. We cannot see if there is a seasonal pattern from the plot below, but we will look more into this in the decomposition plot. There does not appear to be any cyclical pattern occurring in the data.
Figure 2 confirms the upward trend. There also appears to be a seasonal pattern within the graph. Given our seasonal findings when using an ARIMA model we should find the seasonal difference. When using an ETS model, we can see that the magnitude changes for the seasonal component, hence we will consider using a multiplicative method, but will still compare to the additive method.
Finally, when looking at the error plot, the error does not stay consistent throughout the time series plot. It would be best to apply error with a multiplicative method when using the ETS model but will still compare to the additive method.
ETS MODEL
Earlier we mentioned how we were considering multiplicative methods for error and seasonality with an additive method for the trend. We end up with an extremely high error, so we compared the model with all the additive methods.
This results in an ETS(A, A, A) model.
ARIMA MODEL
From our previous analysis we will use an ARIMA(p, d, q)(P, D, Q)S model to forecast.
Time Series ACF and PACF:
From the ACF we can see how the data is decreasing at a steady pace. It would be wise to consider the seasonal difference in the series.
Seasonal Difference ACF and PACF:
We can see similar results to the ACF and PACF from the initial plots without differencing. The only difference is that the correlation decreased. We will take another difference to remove correlation.
Seasonal First Difference ACF and PACF:
We can see that the results for the ACF and PACF started decaying towards 0. We will take another difference.
Seasonal Second Difference ACF and PACF:
The correlation continues to decay more, hence taking another difference would be wise.
Seasonal Third Difference ACF and PACF:
The correlation continues to decay; hence we will consider taking one more difference.
Seasonal Fourth Difference ACF and PACF:
Although the correlation was decreasing, we can see how it also started increasing again towards the center of the ACF plot.
Given that we could not ultimately decide what terms to use for the ARIMA model,we instead allowed the program to decide the parameter values. This resulted in: ARIMA(0, 2, 1)(0, 0, 4)[7]
Now, we will look at the in-sample errors to provide a closer look at the model accuracy.
The model results with a RMSE value of 4,081 units around the mean. The MAE is 2,541 units around the mean. We can also see the values for the AIC and BIC are 3676 and 3696, respectively.
MODEL COMPARISON:
Referring to our in-sample errors we can see how the RMSE, MAE, AIC, and BIC values are all smaller for the ARIMA model. Below we can further compare and find the same results where the error is smaller for the ARIMA model.
Therefore, we will use the ARIMA model for forecasting.
Our model accuracy turned out to 99.6606%, which is a lot higher than the accuracy we achieved from our best Facebook Prophet model (around 95%). The ARIMA model appears to be more powerful than the Facebook Prophet model in this study, but we have to be cautious because we are using less than a year’s worth of data to predict 30 days’ worth of COVID-19 cases.Thus, our confidence intervals get wider as we go further and further into our forecast.
Feel free to connect with us on linkedin and stay tuned for our next series where we will explore predicting covid-19 cases with LSTM.

An accordion always contains the category title, an expanded and a collapsed state, an icon indicating expansion, and the spacing between them.
It should be used when users only need a few key concepts or descriptions of the content on a single page.
It happens that the open card was closed, to give way to the information of the next open card, but there are different designs that prefer it the other way around.
You must choose a different icon to open and close, so that the user understands what action he took.


Teamliquid is a site for competitive games forum that start back in 2002. I first started visiting it in 2008 when I was introduced to the competitive StarCraft scene by a friend. The design was very different back then, but the basic design of it has remained the same. I'll talk about why I like it now in 2014, after it went through multiple evolutions.
The header has a nice banner with a lot of navigation tools to go through the site's various features. It also features settings for your forum account and filter that lets you filter certain games from the site, if you only follow only one or some of the games as opposed to all of them. There are also links to partner sites and clock for EDT, CET and KST, which is important for following all the international events that the site keeps track of.
The body in the middle changes depending on what the user wants to see. The initial page is a news/spotlight section that is updated constantly. There's also a different layout for viewing forum posts, live video streams, and other various content.
The sidebar on the left shows the hierarchy of all the main forums and sub-forums that the user can customize based on their preferences. It provides an easy to understand outline for how the forum is organized, and the most recent posts in each sub-forum is shown first. The sidebar on the right is full of information for people to spend a lot of time on. There's a list of events with a calendar and countdown timer for them, a list of live streams that the user can watch right on the site, and databases of information and records of specific games.
There's a plethora of pages that leads to other parts of the site, and that's one of the reasons I've been on this site for so long. It keeps you engaged and it provides a sort of hub for all this information about competitive games that would otherwise be scattered across the internet.
My second favorite website is Reddit. Its design has remained very similar to what it was when they started the site, but that's a good thing. The design is very simple, and the main draw is how user-posted content is evaluated by other users using Reddit's system of upvotes and downvotes.
Users post content to the site, whether it be a link to a picture of kittens, a news article, or a video, and other users can give it an upvote or a downvote. The culmination of these votes decide how far up the content goes on the site, and the posts that have the highest score go onto the front page of the site.
You can customize the content you see on your front page by subscribing to different subreddits, which are smaller communities that focus on a specific subject, like /r/programming or /r/nyc.
And lastly, another site I enjoy very much is Twitch.tv. It's a site that offers a service that lets people stream their games and have other people watch them live.
The front page is a directory for the most popular streams currently running, and lets you sort the channels by game and current viewer count. When you're on a channel the video is displayed in the middle frame with the streamer's channel information. The right side has a live chat that allows viewers to chat with each other, as well as the streamer. There's also a tab that lets you see related videos that were previously recorded. The left sidebar has links to let you browse the directory of channels and change your user settings.
I think overall, what I like most about these sites is the content, which is controlled by the community that visits the site, and the simple design that keeps you in the site.


I've found Anders Hoff's work on Inconvergent hugely inspiring. In particular his works that are 2D planar geometries (and graphs). This is in part (the second reason why is because of what I do for work) why https://github.com/Notgnoshi/generative exclusively uses the Simple Feature Access geometries as geometric primitives.
Two of his posts that have really captured my imagination have been on Asemic Writing (generative handwriting having no semantic content).
Spline Script gives an algorithm that uses spline fits inside rotated ellipses to generate cursive handwriting. The use of splines is problematic, because all of the tooling that I've built for myself over the last few years has exclusively used WKT as a serialization format for geometries, and while extending WKT to support splines is possible, I haven't found the time nor motivation to build support for handling both splines and discrete geometries in my tooling (I'd want each tool to handle both equally well, which is daunting).
However More Asemic Writing gives an algorithm for generating glyphs more like Hangul and Katakana, which again uses splines, but less "loopy" ones! So instead of taking on the work of providing true spline support, I instead operate on discrete geometries, and then smooth them afterward ;)
This has a few downsides, but the upside is that it's easy.
For the rest of the page, I'll be referring to code from https://github.com/Notgnoshi/generative. It's a mix of Python, C++, and Rust.
# Install the Python dependencies
python3 -m venv --prompt generative .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# Build the Rust and C++ parts
git submodule update --init --recursive
cargo build --release
# Invoking "cargo run --bin ... -- ..." gets old
export PATH="$PWD/target/release/:$PATH"
Each tool that utilizes random number generation can optionally be seeded, and logs the seed used at
INFO level to stderr
so that the results can be reproduced, even when a seed wasn't given.
For brevity though, I'll leave off the seeds in the shell snippets on this page.
First, generate a uniform random point cloud in a square domain.
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 4 --scale 100
INFO - Generating 4 points with seed<PHONE_NUMBER>051612608
POINT (48.0592033866307 60.000131021120076)
POINT (42.74869165920112 57.607049587621795)
POINT (44.23321026420486 2.7466311018484735)
POINT (60.15061084098781 60.0434120953931)
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 12 --scale 300 |
wkt2svg
Second, generate the point cloud's relative neighborhood graph. While not quite equivalent, you can approximate the relative neighborhood by computing the Urquhart graph.
To do this, compute the Delaunay triangulation of the point cloud
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 12 --scale 300 |
triangulate |
wkt2svg
And then remove the longest edge from each triangle
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 12 --scale 300 |
urquhart |
wkt2svg
Third, generate a stroke by randomly traversing the graph. Repeat for some number of times.
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 12 --scale 300 |
urquhart --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 3 --length 3 --untraversed |
wkt2svg
Spoiler: you can immediately tell that this will generate quite a bit of nonsense.
Finally, fit splines through some (or all) of the strokes. Here's where I cheat by using Chaikin's smoothing algorithm instead of using splines.
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 12 --scale 300 |
urquhart --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 3 --length 3 --untraversed --remove-after-traverse |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg
And then repeat a few thousand times and cherry-pick the good results.
I was disappointed in the quality of the results.
So what can we do to make the results better?
We could try using the Delaunay triangulation directly instead of the Urquhart graph.
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 5 --scale 300 |
triangulate --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 4 --remove-after-traverse --seed 0 |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg --padding --output refined-01-delaunay.svg
That could be promising.
We could increase the side of the point cloud and the length of the strokes.
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 30 --scale 300 |
triangulate --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 3 --length 10 --random-length --remove-after-traverse |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg
This could also be promising! It also used Delaunay triangulation directly. What is it like with the relative neighborhood?
$ point-cloud --domain unit-square --points 30 --scale 300 |
urquhart --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 3 --length 10 --random-length --remove-after-traverse |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg
It seems as though using the relative neighborhood is more likely to generate strokes that don't intersect, which I don't like.
It seems as though what these glyphs are missing is self-symmetry, or rather, maybe just some kind of "relationship" that the human eye can see. They're too random as-is, so what if we use a regular grid of points instead?
$ grid --output-format graph 3 4 |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 5 --remove-after-traverse |
transform --scale 300 300 |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg
Hmm, now this is something where the human eye sees order; I expect that if I were to generate hundreds of these, and lay them next to each other, it'd look coherent.
Something else that we could do is perform fewer iterations of the smoothing algorithm (specifically, only one iteration to add a bevel to each corner).
$ grid --output-format graph 3 4 |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 5 --remove-after-traverse |
transform --scale 300 300 |
smooth --iterations 1 |
wkt2svg
That's cool.
Using a grid added much-needed order, but what if we used triangles instead?
grid --output-format points 3 4 |
triangulate --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 5 --remove-after-traverse |
transform --scale 100 100 |
smooth --iterations 5 |
wkt2svg
That could probably be compelling. Let's try a few more variations.
grid --output-format points 3 4 |
triangulate --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 5 --remove-after-traverse |
transform --scale 100 100 |
smooth --iterations 1 |
wkt2svg
grid --output-format points 3 4 |
triangulate --output-format tgf |
traverse --traversals 4 --length 5 --remove-after-traverse |
transform --scale 100 100 |
wkt2svg
I personally find the square grid to be the most compelling variant so far, both with lots of smoothing, and with 45 degree beveled corners.
As is the case with all generative art, there's a million different variations. And as we've seen, small changes in the rules can generate significantly different results. Here's a bunch of things that could be explored next.

Manchester City’s appeal against financial probe thrown out
by Staff ReporterMONTREUX, Switzerland (Reuters) – Manchester City’s attempt to halt a UEFA investigation into allegations that the club breached financial fair play regulations has failed after its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was thrown out on Friday.
CAS general secretary Matthieu Reeb told reporters that the Premier League champions’ appeal had been judged inadmissible.
UEFA had opened an investigation into City over potential breaches of its break-even rule in March after German publication Der Spiegel reported the club’s Abu Dhabi owners inflated sponsorship agreements to comply with requirements.
In May, UEFA investigators referred the case to the Club Financial Control board’s judicial body.
City appealed in June against that decision, saying at the time that UEFA investigators had ignored “a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence provided by Manchester City”.
FFP rules are intended to prevent clubs receiving unlimited amounts of money through rich owners and inflated sponsorship deals. Clubs who have breached the rules can ultimately be barred from European competition but negotiated settlements are more common.

receiveBytes
public int receiveBytes(java.nio.ByteBuffer buff) throws java.lang.Exception
Description copied from interface:StreamConnection
Called when new bytes are available from the remote end. This should only ever be called by the single writeTarget associated with any given StreamConnection, multiple callers will likely confuse implementations.
Implementers/callers must follow the following conventions exactly:- buff will start with its limit set to the position we can read to and its position set to the location we will start reading at (always 0)
- May read more than one message (recursively) if there are enough bytes available
- Uses some internal buffering to store message which are larger (incl their length prefix) than buff's capacity(), ie it is up to this method to ensure we don't run out of buffer space to decode the next message.
- buff will end with its limit the same as it was previously, and its position set to the position up to which bytes have been read (the same as its return value)
- buff must be at least the size of a Bitcoin header (incl magic bytes).
- Specified by:
receiveBytes
in interfaceStreamConnection
- Returns:
- The amount of bytes consumed which should not be provided again

1. Select Maintain | Calibration | Deming Curve Fitting.
2. Select the material type for which you want to generate a calibration curve.
3. Select the analysis method you want to use. If you want to use more than one analysis method, you must repeat this procedure for each analysis method.
4. Select the "OK" button.
5. For all analysis methods except known alpha, select the curve type you want to use. The choices are:
D = a + bm + cm^2 + dm^3
D = am^b
D = am/(1 + bm)
D = a(1-e^-bm)
Where D is the doubles rate, m is the mass, and a, b, c, and d are calibration coefficients.
The known alpha method always uses the curve type: D = a + bm
6. Select the "OK" button. You will get a list of all calibration measurements made with the material type and analysis method you selected.
7. Click on each measurement that you want to include in the curve fit. Select the "OK" button and you will get the Deming curve fitting program with the calibration data sets already loaded.
8. Do the least squares fit to your data. If needed, see the Deming user's manual or Deming online help for instructions.
9. Select the "OK" button and the calibration parameters will be transferred to the INCC program.
10. Check that the transfer of the calibration parameters was successful: select the appropriate analysis method under Maintain | Calibration and observe the calibration parameters.

This is a compilation of items you need to pay attention to when upgrading from Varnish 2.1 to 3.0
In most cases you need to update your VCL since there has been some changes to the syntax.
String concatenation did not have an operator previously, but this has now been changed to +.
To simplify strings, the %-encoding has been removed. If you need non-printable characters, you need to use inline C.
log has moved to the std vmod:
log "log something";
becomes:
import std;
std.log("log something");
You only need to import std once.
purge() and purge_url() are now respectively ban() and ban_url(), so you should replace all occurences:
purge("req.url = " req.url);
becomes:
ban("req.url = " + req.url);
purge does not take any arguments anymore, but can be used in vcl_hit or vcl_miss to purge the item from the cache, where you would reduce ttl to 0 in Varnish 2.1:
sub vcl_hit {
if (req.request == "PURGE") {
set obj.ttl = 0s;
error 200 "Purged.";
}
}
becomes:
sub vcl_hit {
if (req.request == "PURGE") {
purge;
error 200 "Purged.";
}
}
beresp.cacheable is gone, and can be replaced with beresp.ttl > 0s. Similarly obj.cacheable can be replaced with obj.ttl > 0s.
pass, pipe, lookup, deliver, fetch, hash, pipe and restart are no longer keywords, but arguments to return(), so:
sub vcl_pass {
pass;
}
becomes:
sub vcl_pass {
return(pass);
}
You no longer append to the hash with +=, so:
set req.hash += req.url;
becomes:
hash_data(req.url);
You no longer enable ESI with esi, so:
esi;
in vcl_fetch becomes:
set beresp.do_esi = true;
The difference in behaviour of pass in vcl_recv and vcl_fetch confused people, so to make it clearer that they are different, you must now do return(hit_for_pass) when doing a pass in vcl_fetch.
cache_vbe_conns and err_ttl has been removed.
The following parameters have been added, see man varnishd for reference:
The following parameters have new defaults:
The following parameters have new names:
Varnish will return an error when headers are too large instead of just ignoring them. If the limits are too low, Varnish will return HTTP 413. You can change the limits by increasing http_req_hdr_len and http_req_size.
thread_pool_max is now per thread pool, while it was a total across all pools in 2.1. If you had this set in 2.1, you should adjust it for 3.0.
