(comments by Moon, Barrett, and JonL)
Status: For X3J13 consideration
Problem Description:
Issue FIXNUM-NON-PORTABLE constrains ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT to be
a fixnum, but this means that
(MAKE-ARRAY (LIST (1- MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM) 2))
is a valid program. This in turn implies that:
(ROW-MAJOR-AREF (MAKE-ARRAY (LIST (1- MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM) 2)) n)
might need bignum values of N to access all elements of the array.
Proposal (ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT-IMPLICATIONS:ALL-FIXNUM):
Constrain the upper bound on ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT
(and ARRAY-RANK-LIMIT, by implication) in the same ways as
ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT is constrained.
Clarify that the subscript arguments to AREF and to ROW-MAJOR-AREF
must be fixnums.
Example:
(MAKE-ARRAY (LIST MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM 2)) would be an error.
Rationale:
This makes it safe for users to declare subscripts for ROW-MAJOR-AREF to
be fixnums without knowing the nature of the array internals. Without
this, in principle, an implementation could support bignum arithmetic
internally for multi-dimensional arrays, and some situations involving
ROW-MAJOR-AREF would have to presume that bignum arithmetic was needed
in order to `keep up'.
Current Practice:
Symbolics Genera makes the array dimension limit smaller than the
most positive fixnum, so is not affected.
Cost to Implementors:
None.
Cost to Users:
None.
Cost of Non-Adoption:
Some situations would be left fuzzy, and might keep users from making
certain fixnum declarations where desirable.
Benefits:
See above.
Aesthetics:
Slight improvement--language is more consistent.
Discussion:
Pitman thinks he supports this.
Version 1 of this proposal had two parts:
1. to allow ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT to be a bignum (the smallest bignum)
in implementations which wanted to permit the full fixnum range
for array size.
2. the text of the proposal as it now stands.
Part 1 was removed as controversial in v2 based on conversation which
followed, which is summarized here.
Barrett said of version 1:
``I think the second item of the proposal is ok.
I think the first item is unnecessary.''
Moon says of version 1:
``... I do agree that ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT should have
been required to be a fixnum. Maybe ROW-MAJOR-AREF didn't exist
when FIXNUM-NON-PORTABLE was written?''
JonL says (in reply to Moon):
``Nope -- the relevant dates were March 1988 and January 1989.
In fact, ROW-MAJOR-AREF was suggested (I think) by GLS's
suggestions list from 6-Dec-85. We probably just overlooked
ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT in January 1989 [but as I recall, that
issue accepted then had been argued about for two years or
more; so the original presentation of FIXNUM-NON-PORTABLE may
have occurred before ROW-MAJOR-AREF's.]
History aside, I too agree that ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT should
have been required to be a fixnum.''
Note that the effect of removing part 1 of the v1 proposal is that
the status quo is retained for the case that
(MAKE-ARRAY MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM)
is never a valid program in any implementation because of the
constraints that currently exist on ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT.

Prerequisites
You should have a ccavenue account.
Problem
- The second step is the problem I faced while integrating the ccavenue page.I found out that most of the people were finding the same.As we are developing something we need to first test it in development environment.
Inside your ccavenue account they have already given you the access code,merchant Id and access key for a url.But those credentials will only work if you are redirecting to the ccavenue page from that url only.
For ex:If url set up in your account is https://xyz.com then only if you redirect from https://xyz.com then you will be redirected to the correct page else you will get 1002 i.e Merchant Authentication failed.
Solution
- Drop a mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>along with your merchant id and test url.They will set it up for you !! Cheers 🙂
But what if they do not respond? So there is another solution.
- You can login to your account and they have a tab called support.In that support when you enter an email id an email comes to that mail id with some credentials.Login to that url with your credentials and raise a ticket there on urgent basis.Your issue will be resolved 😀 (100%).
Now comes the very important part i.e the implementation.
Implementation
Request
- Add 4 keys yo your web.config file inside .Development environment and production environment for both keys are different.We can only get the values from config files not set them.Storing them in web.config is the best place.
<add key="CcAvenueMerchantId" value="your-merchant-id"/>
<add key="CcAvenueWorkingKey" value="your-working-key"/>
<add key="CcAvenueAccessCode" value="your-access-code"/>
<add key="CcAvenueCheckoutUrl" value="your-checkout-url"/>
/*checkout url for development is https://test.ccavenue.com/transaction/transaction.do?command=initiateTransaction
For production its https://secure.ccavenue.com/transaction/transaction.do?command=initiateTransaction */
- Add a controller method called Payment.
- Add its view i.e Payment.cshtml and add the following code.
- Add a post action for payment.
- Create a View called ccAvenue.cshtml.
This bit of file does the trick.It redirects to the ccAvenue page on page load.
Response
Create an Action method to which you will redirect after success.
Thats it and you are done 🙂

Registration is a process for keeping record of all instances of Openadaptor used in an organisation. When an adaptor is started it sends information about its environment, such as OA version, Java version, operating system name and more. That information is stored in a central repository.
Registration server is required to collect data sent by disparate adaptors. A sample adaptor has been written that exposes a Webservice reader and a database writer. The adaptor's definition is in: example\spring\register\oa-register-server.xml. The adaptor connects to a database where it expects a schema defined in sql\register\mysql\schema.sql (tested for MySql).
Every adaptor with enabled registration (disabled by default) will attempt to send registration data via a web service, right after it is started. Sending happens asynchronously and as such is safe - absence of the registration server will not stop the adaptor from starting or stopping. Registration can be enabled by providing server's URL in registration.properties.


Organising a vacation with a group of people can be a demanding process. Every person has specific needs and interests and it can be difficult to make widely-accepted decisions regarding aspects such as transportation and accommodation. Moreover, nowadays the communication in a group is done through messaging applications, where it can be hard to reach all members at the same time and keep track of important information.
Holidaze is a group vacation planning application which aims to help you and your friends organise your next holiday as easily and efficiently as possible. Our main value propositions come from the focus on collaboration: users can highlight their requirements and come up with suggestions regarding aspects such as accommodation. Additionally, we provide a voting system which facilitates transparent decisions, as well as notifications and alerts to keep users up to date. Finally, we enable members to build a personalised itinerary based on their interests.
Holidaze is aimed at all groups of friends with age from 18 to around 35 years old who want to plan their future vacation.

    I chose creativity because of a lot of details in my life. Whether it is school, work or social situations, I have noticed that I have an extraordinary creative mind and a unique imagination. I have noticed in doing school projects and groupwork, I always came up with efficient and smart ways to finish the work. Even in all my jobs, I always found creative ways to complete and organize all my tasks. I have been complimented by a lot of my teachers and my bosses for having an incredible mind by finding a simple solution for a lot of my work.
    The last topic someone asked me for help was the situation with money management. They needed help in how to save money and how to use it properly within their budget. I helped them lower spending and hinted to put away some of the money a month at a time. They told me that it was very wise and effective. I seem to have a lot of friends ask me on strategic advice on a lot of things in life and I am always there to help them in need.
    When I think about my values, I know that they help me evaluate my life and my character. I try to be aware of any bad habits and always try and develop a better relationship with anybody around me. The values that I chose are some of the things that I have always known and also have been complimented on.


HERE'S HOW TO FIND US
And It's So Easy to Find Us
Follow the light you see taking you to the middle of town. When you get close enough, you'll hear the music
When you show up remember to...
Just Drink it.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!


This is a basic game I'm currently creating.
The main goal is simple: move a small light and activate music notes to make some music, and reproduce it correctly.
It's in very early stage of development, and I'm constantly fighting with Unity3D to make everything work, and the learning path is not very easy.
Enjoy!


To receive MIDI data from a real source (or virtual destination)
you must register yourself as receiver using the endpoint's
addReceiver:
method.
Having done this, the endpoint will call the
processMIDIPacketList:sender:
method of the receiver
whenever new MIDI data becomes available.
Call the endpoint's removeReceiver:
method when you
no longer want to receive MIDI data.
The following shows the basics of receiving MIDI data:
[myEndpoint addReceiver:self]; - (void)processMIDIPacketList:(MIDIPacketList*)myPacketList sender:(id)sender { // Handle the MIDI data in here } [myEndpoint removeReceiver:self];


Automate Gnome keybindings
Sick of manual GUI twiddling to fix inconsistent keybindings on various computers. Solved once and for all, by a new script in my personal workstation setup bucket:
Warning: This:
- works great on RHEL,
- doesn't all work on Ubuntu<=17.04, I suspect because Unity has it's own set of keybinds that are defined elsewhere.
- works great on Ubuntu 17.10. especially if you go in manually to disable the built-in keybinding for Super-V, which displays the calendar and notifications window, which shadows my 'toggle window maximize vertically'.
#!/usr/bin/env bash kb='org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings' # Switcher, between windows not apps, uses alt-tab and alt-grave gsettings set $kb switch-windows "['Tab']" gsettings set $kb switch-windows-backward "['grave', 'Tab']" gsettings set $kb switch-applications "[]" gsettings set $kb switch-applications-backward "[]" # Window maximize toggle, super-up gsettings set $kb maximize "[]" gsettings set $kb toggle-maximized "['Up']" # Window maximize vertically toggle, super-v gsettings set $kb maximize-vertically "['v']" # run command, super-r gsettings set $kb panel-run-dialog "['r', 'F2']" # Custom commands mk='org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys' ckb='/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings' gsettings set $mk custom-keybindings "['$ckb/custom0/', '$ckb/custom1/']" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom0/ name "screen off" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom0/ command "screenoff" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom0/ binding "z" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom1/ name "terminal" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom1/ command "terminal" gsettings set $mk.custom-keybinding:$ckb/custom1/ binding "t"
Embedded in that is the ultimate solution to my longstanding irk with Unity and Gnome's default window switcher (alt-tab.) By default it groups windows of a single application together, requiring some extra -grave pressing to navigate between windows within an application.
This not only requires way more effort, but also breaks the expected behaviour of just tapping alt-tab to go back to the last used window. Instead it goes back to the last used application, so you can't toggle between two windows of the same application, eg. two terminals. Absolute madness.
The above modifies alt-tab to just cycle through all windows, ungrouped, which fixes the ability to toggle between last two windows. Also, alt-grave is provided as an alternative to cycle backwards through the windows, which is easier to hit than shift-alt-tab.


When it comes to websites or apps, one of the first impression you consider is the design. It needs to be high quality enough otherwise you will lose potential users due to bad design.
Below are some of the reasons why you love Quirk.
1. Attractive
When your website or app is attractive to use, your users will not simply be using it, they’ll look forward to using it. This means that you should fashion the look and feel of your interface for your users.
2. Responsive
Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. This would eliminate the need for a different design and development phase for each new gadget on the market.

Project 4: Timeline
Our final project was a timeline info graphic. I chose to focus my attentions on one of my favorite brands, Marvel Comics. After doing a lot of research about the company and its origins, I collected enough information to form this particular info graphic. I drew inspiration from Steve Ditko’s illustration style and the classic shapes of word and thought bubbles. I used an Adobe font called Classic Comic for the main text with comic titles in bold italic, names in bold, and plain text in italic. The numbers are all set in Impact but vary in size based on importance. I felt it important to use original illustrations of characters so I found different covers and used Photoshop to “cut out” the images.

Project 2: Scalable Icons
The second project we worked on making scalable, personal icons. These icons had to come in three, pixel based sizes, 128x128px, 64x64px, 32x32px. I chose to create flat line icons with a 5pt. stroke. I felt that this would simplify the icons enough so that when they were scaled up or down, I would not have to alter the main structure or eliminate elements too much. My first inspiration for this assignment was Celtic knots. I take pride in my Irish heritage and wanted to incorporate a Celtic knot style into each of my designs to make them cohesive. The first icon is a steaming, hot cup of tea. I love tea so it was an easy first choice for a personal icon. As I mentioned before, I flattened the icon instead of giving it dimension in order to simplify its shape. In order to make the design more interesting than just a flat mug, I put a sort of loop in the handle and made the steam shapes mirror this loop. As the icon got smaller, I filled the loops because the counter space was too small and removed the letter “T.” The second icon is an acorn. Acorns come from oak trees which symbolize strength, wisdom, loyalty, heritage, and honor in Celtic folklore. People tell me these are some traits that I have, but I also loved the connection to my heritage. An acorn, being the seed for an oak tree, has a sense of hope and growth which are characteristics that I try to remember daily. I used the basic form of the triquetra knot for the bottom of the acorn and repeated the steam shape to create a pattern for the acorns hat. The third icon I had trouble making. I was originally going to work on an oak leaf to compliment the acorn, but was having trouble tying in the Celtic knot aspects. During the process, I began to repeat the shape I used for the mug handle. This repeated shape reminded of me of sunflower petals and how much I love sunshine. My mom would always sing “You are my Sunshine” to my sister and I, so I took this a sign that I had found my final icon. After creating black and white icons, I brought in color. I decides to use muted, warm colors, and navy blue for a dark accent. I only colored the strokes and filled in the occasional loop or shape.

Project 1: Isometric Avatar
For this first project I used an isometric grid in Adobe Illustrator and made an avatar of myself. There were some key characteristics that I felt were most important to represent myself like my curly hair, cup of tea, and Converse. I did my best to accurately portray my facial features while keeping a sort of whimsical feel. The most difficult part was seeing the dimention in the isometric grid.


Before I published my favorable review of Adam Sandler's "The Waterboy" last fall, I should have heeded the warning Sandler used as the title for one of his CDs -- "They're All Gonna Laugh At You."
And most of my friends and co-workers did exactly that, dismissing "Waterboy" sight unseen as one more piece of garbage foisted upon the screen, sometimes while adding comments such as "Now, 'There's Something About Mary,' that was a real comedy," or "I'd rather see 'Babe: Pig in the City'; I've heard that's just phenomenal."
O.K., "The Waterboy" was not a work of art. But it never purported to be. (And I would rather sit through "Waterboy" 20 times in a row than have to endure "Pig in the City" even one more time.)
Its sole purpose was to provide 90 minutes worth of jokes, which it did. And, more often than not, Sandler and co-stars Kathy Bates and Fairuza Balk hit the target, at least as frequently as Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon did in "Mary." "Big Daddy," Sandler's follow-up, is slightly more ambitious and, unfortunately, much less successful.
Many comedians, at one point or another in their careers, become obsessed with proving they can do something other than tickle the funnybone. Often this leads to artistic disaster -- ever see Bill Murray's shudder-inducing attempt at "The Razor's Edge"? -- in which case the joke's on them. The best and worst that can be said about "Daddy" is that it probably won't do any permanent damage to the careers of anyone associated with it.
Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a New Yorker who is living large off a big insurance settlement, much to the dismay of his girlfriend and dad, both of whom argue that it's time for the thirtysomething Sonny to embrace maturity. An opportunity to do just that literally knocks on the door when Sonny is presented with Julian (Cole and Dylan Sprouse), the five-year-old product of his best friend Kevin's (Jon Stewart) one-night-stand back in 1993. With Kevin conveniently in China for an extended stay, Sonny seizes the chance to masquerade as his buddy and adopt Julian, whose mother has conveniently died of a terminal illness.
If you're wondering why Social Services would start drawing up adoption papers without so much as even asking for ID, or why a dying woman would send her son to live with a dad he's never even met, remember that looking for logic in an Adam Sandler movie makes about as much sense as shopping for a tuxedo in Victoria's Secret.
Sonny's attempts at parenting are occassionally funny -- he has a multitude of uses for newspaper, for example -- and the bond between child and child-man is believable. What kindergartner wouldn't be enamored of a father figure who plays along when the kid puts on sunglasses he believes make him invisible and whose idea of discipline is to murmur "go to your room, or do whatever you want"? Sandler and the Sprouse twins click together, which means that even when the gags fizzle, the scenes don't collapse.
But when "Daddy" dips into sentiment, it loses its balance. Director Dennis Dugan ("Problem Child," "Happy Gilmore") doesn't seem to know if he wants to parody "Kramer vs. Kramer" or remake it, and the actors seem similarly lost. A climactic courtroom battle is neither credible nor uproarious, and the movie's cop-out ending is ridiculous even by Sandler standards.
The elements that make "Daddy" interesting are mostly on its edges. There's some pleasantly feisty verbal sparring between Kevin's fiancee Corinne (Leslie Mann) and Sonny over her past as a Hooters waitress, and a surprisingly tolerant atitude toward Sonny's gay friends who he accepts unquestioningly by noting "they just watch a different kind of porno." In another amusing bit, Sonny and potential new flame Layla (Joey Lauren Adams) realize they're meant for each other when it's discovered they share a mutual passion for the music of Styx; their first kiss is underscored by the swoony "The Best of Times."
There's always an element of danger whenever a performer tries to do something to broaden his or her audience and if "Daddy" is somewhat spotty, it's still an admirable attempt by Sandler at something a bit different. He can take some consolation in the fact that Robin Williams had to headline plenty of pictures much worse than this before getting to do "Dead Poets Society," "Awakenings" and "Good Will Hunting." Patience and practice inevitably pay off.

First, it will be useful to introduce some core ideas before moving on to a more indepth look at closure execution engines. Let us begin with a simple definition of a closure. Wikipedia.org supplies a clear definition:
“In programming languages, a closure (also lexical closure or function closure) is a function or reference to a function together with a referencing environment—a table storing a reference to each of the non-local variables (also called free variables or upvalues) of that function.[1] A closure—unlike a plain function pointer—allows a function to access those non-local variables even when invoked outside of its immediate lexical scope.”
Basically, a closure can be thought of as an anonymous function object capable of capturing local state for use outside of its lexical scope. In C++ a closure strongly implies the use of a lambda expression, though there are other ways to create closures. C++ is a very powerful and flexible language, and how a closure is created is of less importance than what it does. If you are unfamiliar with lambdas or closures in C++ we encourage you to do some research on the subjects before continuing, as a basic understanding of these core concepts will be important moving forward.
Now that we have a basic idea of what a closure is, consider the role that a closure execution engine plays: to execute the closures supplied to it. How the engine works is largely driven by its design goals and performance criteria. A simplistic analogy is to consider a rocket engine and a combustion engine found in an automobile: both engines fill similar roles (vehicle propulsion) but are quite different in how they work and perform the basic task of vehicle locomotion, ie their design goals and performance criteria are completely different. A closure execution engine is a fairly general term, and implies little about the underlying implementation.
Earlier, we defined Boost.AFIO as a specialized type of closure execution engine: an asynchronous, chainable, batch executable, closure execution engine. Now that we have a basic understanding of what a closure execution engine is, understanding that it is asynchronous, chainable and batch executable aren't quite as daunting.
So, Boost.AFIO can execute batches of sequential closures for asynchronous completion. What this means for users is that it is possible to break up a series of sequential tasks into a closures, and have Boost.AFIO schedule them for asynchronous completion while the main thread is free to complete other work.
Boost.AFIO is primarily implemented as a threadpool that executes the closures fed to it based on some internal logic. In essence Boost.AFIO creates a thread whose responsibility it is to schedule closures for execution within a threadpool. This allows user code to schedule some operations for future completion, and even to schedule a series of operations to be executed one after another, while leaving the main application free to complete other work while waiting for closures to execute. This ability to chain closures together makes it possible to schedule work to begin as soon as it is able, and avoids waiting for an entire set of operations to complete before any other tasks can begin.

Air mass at given zenith distance (double precision).
CALL:
D = sla_AIRMAS (ZD)
GIVEN:
ZD
D
observed zenith distance (radians)
RETURNED:
sla_AIRMAS
D
air mass (1 at zenith)
NOTES:
1.
The observed zenith distance referred to above means
``as affected by refraction''.
2.
The routine uses Hardie's (1962) polynomial fit to Bemporad's
data for the relative air mass, X, in units of thickness at the
zenith as tabulated by Schoenberg (1929). This is adequate for all
normal needs as it is accurate to better than
0.1% up to X = 6.8 and better than 1% up to X = 10.
Bemporad's tabulated values are unlikely to be trustworthy
to such accuracy
because of variations in density, pressure and other
conditions in the atmosphere from those assumed in his work.
3.
The sign of the ZD is ignored.
4.
At zenith distances greater than about the
air mass is held constant to avoid arithmetic overflows.

HPX V0.8.0 (Mar 23, 2012)¶
We have had roughly 1000 commits since the last release and we have closed approximately 70 tickets (bugs, feature requests, etc.).
General changes¶
Improved PBS support, allowing for arbitrary naming schemes of node-hostnames.
Finished verification of the reference counting framework.
Implemented decrement merging logic to optimize the distributed reference counting system.
Restructured the LCO framework. Renamed
hpx::lcos::eager_future<>
andhpx::lcos::lazy_future<>
intohpx::lcos::packaged_task
andhpx::lcos::deferred_packaged_task
. Splithpx::lcos::promise
intohpx::lcos::packaged_task
andhpx::lcos::future
. Added ‘local’ futures (in namespacehpx::lcos::local
).Improved the general performance of local and remote action invocations. This (under certain circumstances) drastically reduces the number of copies created for each of the parameters and return values.
Reworked the performance counter framework. Performance counters are now created only when needed, which reduces the overall resource requirements. The new framework allows for much more flexible creation and management of performance counters. The new sine example application demonstrates some of the capabilities of the new infrastructure.
Added a buildbot-based continuous build system which gives instant, automated feedback on each commit to SVN.
Added more automated tests to verify proper functioning of HPX.
Started to create documentation for HPX and its API.
Added documentation toolchain to the build system.
Added dataflow LCO.
Changed default HPX command line options to have
hpx:
prefix. For instance, the former option--threads
is now--hpx:threads
. This has been done to make ambiguities with possible application specific command line options as unlikely as possible. See the section HPX Command Line Options for a full list of available options.Added the possibility to define command line aliases. The former short (one-letter) command line options have been predefined as aliases for backwards compatibility. See the section HPX Command Line Options for a detailed description of command line option aliasing.
Network connections are now cached based on the connected host. The number of simultaneous connections to a particular host is now limited. Parcels are buffered and bundled if all connections are in use.
Added more refined thread affinity control. This is based on the external library Portable Hardware Locality (HWLOC).
Improved support for Windows builds with CMake.
Added support for components to register their own command line options.
Added the possibility to register custom startup/shutdown functions for any component. These functions are guaranteed to be executed by an HPX thread.
Added two new experimental thread schedulers: hierarchy_scheduler and periodic_priority_scheduler. These can be activated by using the command line options
--hpx:queuing
=hierarchy
or--hpx:queuing
=periodic
.
Example applications¶
Graph500 performance benchmark (thanks to Matthew Anderson for contributing this application).
GTC (Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code): a skeleton for particle in cell type codes.
Random Memory Access: an example demonstrating random memory accesses in a large array
ShenEOS example, demonstrating partitioning of large read-only data structures and exposing an interpolation API.
Sine performance counter demo.
Accumulator examples demonstrating how to write and use HPX components.
Quickstart examples (like hello_world, fibonacci, quicksort, factorial, etc.) demonstrating simple HPX concepts which introduce some of the concepts in HPX.
Load balancing and work stealing demos.
API changes¶
Moved all local LCOs into a separate namespace
hpx::lcos::local
(for instance,hpx::lcos::local_mutex
is nowhpx::lcos::local::mutex
).Replaced
hpx::actions::function
withhpx::util::function
. Cleaned up related code.Removed
hpx::traits::handle_gid
and moved handling of global reference counts into the corresponding serialization code.Changed terminology:
prefix
is now calledlocality_id
, renamed the corresponding API functions (such ashpx::get_prefix
, which is now calledhpx::get_locality_id
).Adding
hpx::find_remote_localities
, andhpx::get_num_localities
.Changed performance counter naming scheme to make it more bash friendly. The new performance counter naming scheme is now
/object{parentname#parentindex/instance#index}/counter#parameters
Added
hpx::get_worker_thread_num
replacinghpx::threadmanager_base::get_thread_num
.Renamed
hpx::get_num_os_threads
tohpx::get_os_threads_count
.Added
hpx::threads::get_thread_count
.Restructured the Futures sub-system, renaming types in accordance with the terminology used by the C++11 ISO standard.

Overview
The Problem
For many retailers, a commom pain point in the sourcing process is the discovery and verification of the certification claims for a given factory. If a retailer wishes to only do business with factories that have a given environmental certification, where can they find a filtered list of only the factories that are certified? Furthermore, how can they trust that the certification is valid?
In practice, each retailer ends up independently verifying these claims with the ceritfying body that performed the original audit. This process is time-consuming, expensive, and error prone.
How ConsenSource Can Help
ConsenSource solves this problem using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The application serves as a common platform to verify and display the certifications and audit data between retailers, factories, certifying bodies, and standards bodies.
DLT allows all partners to share ownership of this data. Each partner is tasked with the duty of owning their data and keeping this information up to date, shifting the onus of data accuracy to the relevant party. Each participant in the network plays a unique role.
Standards bodies create standards and accredit certifying bodies.
Certifying bodies are then able to audit and certify factories against the standards they are accredited for.
Factories are able to request these certifications and in-person audits, so that certifying bodies are able to issue certificates based on in-person, off-chain audit results.
Retailers are able to view and trust the resulting data from these interactions as well as general contact and location information on each of these entities.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Overview
What Is A Blockchain?
A blockchain is a network in which a record of transactions are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. All nodes in this network reach consensus on what the state of the ledger should look like before adding to it. This enforces a level of trust and transparency regarding the authenticity and immutability of data within the ledger.
Blockchains are a particular type of distributed ledger technology (DLT), and as such, we have elected to use the broader term, DLT, as we further develop ConsenSource.
What Is A Permissioned Blockchain?
Blockchains can be further subdivided into two categories - permissionless and permissioned.
Permissionless systems, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, allow anybody to join the network. This approach works great in an open environment such as peer-to-peer cash, but it has two main drawbacks - efficiency and control.
In a permsionless system it must be assumed that all actors on the network are potentially malicious. This requires a more costly consensus algorithm, such as Proof-of-Work, in order to verify that transactions are authentic. The second drawback is lack of control over which actors are allowed to join the network. For many enterprise use cases, such as ConsenSource, there is a need to limit the network to only relevant actors.
Permissioned systems aim to solve these two problems of efficiency and control. ConsenSource uses Hyperledger Sawtooth, an enterprise DLT, to provide an additional layer of security and access control by allowing for on-chain governance.
In practice, this means that all members of the network must reach consensus around which new actors are allowed to join the network, the types of actions they can perform, and more. A permissioned DLT lets ConsenSource use a more efficient consensus algorithms (more info here - todo) because there is a base level of trust between participants in the network.
Takeaway
ConsenSource uses a permissioned DLT to provide both greater efficiency, and control, of the network.Why Use DLT?
Benefits
- Enhanced Trust
- In a centralized database solution, all parties must trust the owner of the database - in situations with potentially untrusted participants, this is often not practical. DLT enforces trust by enabling all parties to share an immutable and complete record of all transactions that occur in the network.
- Distributed Responsibility
- Rather than a single party bearing the burden of maintaing and running a centralized database, DLT allows multiple parties to collaboratively maintain a ledger of transactions.
- Improved Efficiency
- The process of manually reconciling multiple ledgers, between multiple parties, is time consuming, expensive, and error prone. By sharing a single digital ledger, all parties recieve more accurate data while performing less work.
Tradeoffs
Why Sawtooth?

Verify that access to cloud resources is encrypted.
Protect connections using TLS to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. In the AWS shared security model you are responsible for redirection to third party merchants, especially with regard to compliance with PCI-DSS.
Implemented properly, TLS used with web applications secures HTTP communication over TLS, or HTTPS between the client and cloud services. The result is protection for online accounts, authentication credentials, and cookies.
Encrypted connections with TLS or VPN must always be used with web applications in order to protect sensitive information as it is transmitted over the network and is susceptible to theft and abuse.
To verify that access to cloud resources is encrypted:
Define communication security requirements. Define which network communications need to be encrypted. All transmissions that include sensitive data, including authentication credentials and session tokens must be encrypted. In some cases, it might be practical to encrypt all network connections.
Identify communications performed by the application. Review the application design to confirm all network communications performed by the application comply with security requirements.
Find all code that connects to the cloud. Identify code that needs to send encrypted data over the network.
Verify that TLS is used to protect connections. Examine code that sends data over the network to make sure that sockets are protected using TLS.
Verify that valid certificates are used. Examine the certificates used by TLS to make sure that they are valid.
##How to Fix##
To use TLS to protect network connections follow these general steps:
Get valid certificates. Purchase valid certificates for the application.
Use valid certificates. Configure the server in the cloud to accept TLS connections. Do not permit unencrypted connections to the server.
Define communication security requirements. Define which network communications need to be encrypted. All transmissions that include sensitive data, including authentication credentials and session tokens must be encrypted. In some cases, it might be practical to encrypt all network connections.
Identify communications performed by the application. Review the application design to confirm all network communications performed by the application comply with security requirements.
Find all code that connects to the cloud. Identify code that needs to send encrypted data over the network.
Add code that uses TLS. There are multiple methods for using TLS, depending on application requirements. Use the method that is most appropriate for your application.

The LET statement can be used to assign an arbitrary value to a variable. The variable is then introduced in the scope the LET statement is placed in.
The general syntax is:
LET variableName = expression
Variables are immutable in AQL, which means they can not be re-assigned:
LET a = [1, 2, 3] // initial assignment
a = PUSH(a, 4) // syntax error, unexpected identifier
LET a = PUSH(a, 4) // parsing error, variable 'a' is assigned multiple times
LET b = PUSH(a, 4) // allowed, result: [1, 2, 3, 4]
LET statements are mostly used to declare complex computations and to avoid repeated computations of the same value at multiple parts of a query.
FOR u IN users
LET numRecommendations = LENGTH(u.recommendations)
RETURN {
"user" : u,
"numRecommendations" : numRecommendations,
"isPowerUser" : numRecommendations >= 10
}
In the above example, the computation of the number of recommendations is factored out using a LET statement, thus avoiding computing the value twice in the RETURN statement.
Another use case for LET is to declare a complex computation in a subquery, making the whole query more readable.
FOR u IN users
LET friends = (
FOR f IN friends
FILTER u.id == f.userId
RETURN f
)
LET memberships = (
FOR m IN memberships
FILTER u.id == m.userId
RETURN m
)
RETURN {
"user" : u,
"friends" : friends,
"numFriends" : LENGTH(friends),
"memberShips" : memberships
}

Ballroom Dancing Doesn’t Have Any Fortnite Moves

Don't even get me started on the "Best Mates" Fortnite move.
Ballroom Dancing Doesn’t Have Any Fortnite Moves
Published October 6 2018 - By Davy Yue
Approx. 3 minute read
So, Fortnite came out many fortnights ago, and I swear I’ve seen so many people doing the Floss,
Orange Justice, and Electro Shuffle at social parties as well as occasionally in the middle of
lecture after finding out they’ve aced a prior exam. To my own regret, I’ve also witnessed a lovely
elderly lady attempt the Floss only to look like she was a background dancer to an explicit rap music
video. Thank goodness I haven’t seen too many Fornite dances, or I’d have a few brain cells fewer today
to write this blog post.
Now let’s get on to the real talk.
The kind of dancing I’m writing about here is the formal type of dancing where a ballroom dance couple
drifts across the floor as both a raging stream and calming river in ebbs and flows, rises and falls.
My other favorite kind of dance secondary to ballroom is social partner dancing, such as east coast
swing in business casual attire. Tertiary would be classic party dancing as seen at Tailgates or BYX
parties. But, we’ll focus on the first two types.
In general, both ballroom and social partner dancing has provided me with a positive outlet for a weeks’
worth of stressful exams and difficult homework, as well as a great means to build and fortify incredible
self-confidence. Regardless of the convoluted recursive-backtracking problem or a difficult technical-coding
interview session, all is well with social dancing at the week’s end. Self-confidence in social dancing
originates from not only realizing that “Wow, these beautiful people have a great time dancing with me,”
but also that “I look damn fine as a dancer and I love the feeling no matter who says otherwise.”
As a domino affect, my heightened self-confidence has propelled me to venture into unknown territory.
I serve as the youngest crew member on a board full of tech professionals with 30+ years experience for
a minority-led, nonprofit tech conference organization Music City Tech with annual event of over 700+
attendees. In addition, I serve as a VandyHacks logistics organizer for an annual hackathon of 450+ students,
perform as a Cafe Con Leche bachata dancer for a 500+ audience, and others.
My college weeks are now spent yearning for the week’s end at a friday evening east-coast swing dancing social
at the Global Education Center or saturday night dance at the Nashville Ballroom Company. Throughout the week,
I drop by the Vandy Ballroom lessons and popular social partner dance venues close to the Vanderbilt University
Campus. Since the summer after my sophomore year, I have now added a total of six dances to my repertoire: east
coast swing, salsa, bachata, rumba, waltz, foxtrot, and others to-be determined as I enroll in more lessons. Now
that I’m spending my weekends at social dances, I couldn’t be happier.
From my social and ballroom dancing, I’ve learned quite a few lessons as lead, two of which are of utmost importance.
A primary lesson would be to never give up, no matter how hard the dance move - unless the move is a dip, then you
better as damn well be freaking sure that you keep a perfect record of not dropping any of your lady dance partners.
After all, when the beat drops, your follow partner should absolutely not.
To accommodate the approximate five hours of weekly commitment to practice and socials with dancing, I have adopted
a new studying dogma, which I call the “8-6 business hours.” This studying strategy requires me to attend classes,
hit the books, and cry over my assignments all within the hours of 8 am to 6 pm, and only within that strict time-frame
of operating hours. However, subscribing to this strict work-ethic requires waking up at the earth-shattering hours of
seven in the morning. Yet, a great benefit opens up my evening time of 6:01 pm to midnight - about six hours total -
to be more diligent in my extracurricular commitments, regular workout exercises, and, most importantly, dance
socials or practices.
I would recommend anyone, even you the occasional reader, to investigate any social or ballroom dancing opportunities
as soon as possible if not already; I would advocate starting with east coast swing, in which I myself started this
enjoyable adventure. After my sophomore year at the summer’s beginning, I saw myself on the dance floor as a
flopping-fiordland penguin, and, by the end of that summer, I had transformed into a graceful king-emperor with some
sweet moves to prove it. My metamorphosis happened through a friend’s initial invite to summer weekly Big Band Dances
at Centennial Park (Nashville, TN) and successive visits to Fred Astaire Dance Studio for a summer-ending week’s worth
of introductory classes. The rest, I can say rest assured, is now history and the present. I very much recommend both
of these esteemed events/venues for fine-tuning your body instrument to the sways of jazz for swing for the drum beats
of latin music for bachata.
However, I would inform the reader that Fortnite dance moves are banned from any of these premises and performing
such indecent acts will result in proper disciplinary action from an elderly Floss-ing lady with her forty pound handbag.
Let this be an exercise for the reader.
As usual, thank you so much for reading my story about how I both started and continue enjoying partner dancing.
Please stay tuned and hope to see you at my future blog posts. Have a great weekend.
Note: I'm still cleaning up some bugs on buttons and external links for this blog, so stay tuned for an update on that.
Your one and only true Professional Bug-to-Feature Translator is hard at work on this project.
Thanks again for checking out my second post on this blog! I - hopefully - will be posting in the
future on a regular basis every three or so weeks. Please feel free to connect with me on
Facebook
or Linkedin
to stay in the loop about my next post! Have an awesome day!

TASKILON is a TODO app designed and developed by Arjun Thakur. It is a project to showcase some of my skills. The code for this app is available at Github. The front-end is completely "pure code"1 without any use of front-end frameworks. The core or the backend is developed using Python's Django Framework. The app contains o-auth signup facility, i.e. the user can signup using his/her social profile2 which is good, as the user doesn't have to remember so many passwords for different profiles. The app is currently being hosted on HEROKU, so the access might be slow. The core of the app will be lauched in the coming weeks. The app will be completely ready soon!
1. Pure Code refers to use of plain HTML5, CSS3, JS and jquery
2. Social Profiles includes Facebook, Google, Github and Twitter for now.

Struct vs Class
: In Swift, struct
and class
have a lot in common.
init()
- extension
- protocol
- subscript
- property & method
Then, when should I use struct
or class
?
I learned this from the example below.
- In my project Somking Area v1.0.0, there are 2 variables and 1 function related to loaction.
Address
struct: has the information about locality and administrative area name.CLLocationCoordinate2D
: store the latitude & longitude of the location.getCoordinateToAddress(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D)
: get locality and adminitrative area name from the coordinate.
Therefore, I decided to combine the above three things as a single data structure. Location information is the
Model
in the project, so I tried to implement these as astruct
.
Above code did not work(Swift Error Note) because the struct
is the value type, so exchangeCoordinateToAddress()
method called in init()
did not work.
So, class
should be used in these cases,
- When you want to change the value. (call by reference)
- inheritance
- type casting
Most of other cases, there would be no problem to use struct
.


MCX: XLA-rated Bayesian inference¶
Intuitive modeling language MCX is a bayesian modeling language and inference library built on top of JAX. Expressing a generative model in MCX is as simple as being able to write it down on a piece of paper and having some basic knowledge of Numpy.
Performant inference MCX natively supports batching on GPU for faster inference and sequential inference for bayesian updating.
The best of usability and modularity MCX reconciles modularity with usability. It does offer “turn key” algorithms for users who just want something that works. But it also allows users to compose their own inference kernel from multiple parts.
MCX by example¶
import jax
from jax import numpy as np
import mcx
import mcx.distributions as dist
rng_key = jax.random.PRNGKey(0)
X, y = observations()
@mcx.model
def linear_regression(x, lmbda=1.):
scale <~ dist.Exponential(lmbda)
coefs <~ dist.Normal(np.zeros(np.shape(x)[-1]))
y = np.dot(x, coefs)
predictions <~ dist.Normal(y, scale)
return predictions
# Sample from the model posterior distribution using HMC
hmc_kernel = mcx.HMC(
step_size=0.01,
num_integration_steps=100,
inverse_mass_matrix=np.array([1., 1.])
)
observations = {'x': X, 'predictions': y, 'lmbda': 3.}
sampler = mcx.sample(rng_key, linear_regression, hmc_kernel, **observations)
trace = sampler.run()
Features¶
The HMC and empirical HMC algorithms;
A dozen distributions;
Batch sampling;
Iterative sampling for more complex workflows;
Sequential inference for bayesian updating;
Sample millions of chains in parallel;
Fast inference on GPU.
From practice to research¶
MCX is highly flexible and can be seen as the combination of two decoupled libraries:
A probabilistic modeling language; MCX models can be exported as a forward sampling function and a log-probability density functions which may be used with custom inference algorithms.
An inference library; MCX’s inference module is purposefully designed as a collection of loosely coupled elements. Advanced users are free to compose these elements in any way they see fit. It is not necessary to use the modeling language to build the log-probability density function, any python function will do.
MCX tries to strike the right balance between customizability (for researchers) and sane defaults for people who want the benefits of inference without having to dig in the literature.

AzureDirectory Library for Lucene.Net
Project
description
Lucene.Net is a robust open source search technology which
has an abstract interface called a Directory for defining how the index is
stored. AzureDirectory is an implementation of that
interface for Windows Azure Blob Storage.
About
This project allows you to create Lucene Indexes and use them in Azure.
This project implements a low level Lucene Directory
object called AzureDirectory around Windows Azure BlobStorage.
Background
Lucene.NET
Lucene is a mature Java based open source full text indexing and
search engine and property store.
Lucene.NET is a mature port of that library to C#.
Lucene/Lucene.Net provides:
Super simple API for storing
documents with arbitrary properties
Complete control over what is
indexed and what is stored for retrieval
Robust control over where and how
things are indexed, how much memory is used, etc.
Superfast and super rich query
capabilities
o
Sorted results
o
Rich constraint semantics AND/OR/NOT
etc.
o
Rich text semantics (phrase match,
wildcard match, near, fuzzy match etc)
o
Text query syntax (example:
Title:(dog AND cat) OR Body:Lucen* )
o
Programmatic expressions
o
Ranked results with custom ranking
algorithms
AzureDirectory
AzureDirectory smartly uses a local Directory to cache files as they are
created and automatically pushes them to Azure blob storage as appropriate.
Likewise, it smartly caches blob files on the client when they change. This
provides with a nice blend of just in time syncing of data local to indexers or
searchers across multiple machines.
With the flexibility that Lucene provides over data
in memory versus storage and the just in time blob transfer that AzureDirectory provides you have great control over the composibility of where data is indexed and how it is
consumed.
To be more concrete: you can have 1..N worker roles adding documents to an
index, and 1..N searcher webroles searching over the
catalog in near real time.
Usage
To use you need to create a blob storage account on http://azure.com .
Create an App.Config or Web.Config
and configure your accountinfo:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!-- azure SETTINGS -->
<add key="BlobStorageEndpoint" value="http://YOURACCOUNT.blob.core.windows.net"/>
<add key="AccountName" value="YOURACCOUNTNAME"/>
<add key="AccountSharedKey" value="YOURACCOUNTKEY"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
To add documents to a catalog is as simple as
AzureDirectory
azureDirectory = new AzureDirectory("TestCatalog");
IndexWriter
indexWriter = new IndexWriter(azureDirectory, new StandardAnalyzer(),
true);
Document doc = new Document();
doc.Add(new Field("id", DateTime.Now.ToFileTimeUtc().ToString(),
Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED,
Field.TermVector.NO));
doc.Add(new Field("Title", “this is my title”, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED,
Field.TermVector.NO));
doc.Add(new Field("Body", “This is my body”, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED,
Field.TermVector.NO));
indexWriter.AddDocument(doc);
indexWriter.Close();
}
And searching is as easy as:
IndexSearcher
searcher = new IndexSearcher(azureDirectory);
Lucene.Net.QueryParsers.QueryParser
parser = QueryParser("Title", new StandardAnalyzer());
Lucene.Net.Search.Query
query = parser.Parse("Title:(Dog AND
Cat)");
Hits hits
= searcher.Search(query);
for (int i = 0; i < hits.Length();
i++)
{
Document doc = hits.Doc(i);
Console.WriteLine(doc.GetField("Title").StringValue());
}
Caching
and Compression
AzureDirectory compresses blobs before sent to the
blob storage. Blobs are automatically cached local to reduce roundtrips for
blobs which haven't changed.
By default AzureDirectory stores this local cache in
a temporary folder. You can easily control where the local cache is stored by
passing in a Directory object for whatever type and location of storage you
want.
This example stores the cache in a ram directory:
AzureDirectory azureDirectory = new AzureDirectory("MyIndex", new RAMDirectory());
And this example stores in the file system in C:\myindex
AzureDirectory azureDirectory = new AzureDirectory("MyIndex", new FSDirectory(@"c:\myindex"));
Notes
on settings
Just like a normal Lucene index, calling optimize too
often causes a lot of churn and not calling it enough causes too many segment
files to be created, so call it "just enough" times. That will
totally depend on your application and the nature of your pattern of adding and
updating items to determine (which is why Lucene
provides so many knobs to configure its behavior).
The default compound file support that Lucene uses reduces
the number of files that are generated...this means it deletes and merges files
regularly which causes churn on the blob storage. Calling indexWriter.SetCompoundFiles(false)
will give better performance.
The version of Lucene.NET checked in as a binary is Version 2.3.1, but you can
use any version of Lucene.NET you want by simply enlisting from the above open
source site.
Related
There is a LINQ to Lucene provider http://linqtoLucene.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Project%20Documentation
on codeplex which allows you to define your schema as
a strongly typed object and execute LINQ expressions against the index.

Campaign highlights: CBI chief weighs in on debate and Labour pledges pay hike
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said that all Conservative parliamentary candidates have vowed to vote for his Brexit deal.
Sunday proved to be a quiet day on the election trail, with many leading figures turning to TV appearances to get their party message across.
CBI chief Carolyn Fairbairn set out what UK businesses want to see from government following the election, while Jeremy Corbyn stood firm on SNP calls for a second referendum on Scottish independence.
Here are some of the highlights of Sunday’s campaign trail:
– A senior business leader has expressed concerns about both Labour and Tory policies
Confederation of British Industry director-general Dame Carolyn Fairbairn said Labour’s policies could “crack the foundations of our economy”, while Tory immigration plans risk creating a skills shortage.
She said December’s election is an “extraordinary” one for business, hailing 2020 as the most important year in a generation due to recent uncertainty over Brexit.
– Labour has promised a pay rise of up to £6,000 to minimum wage workers
The party has vowed to give workers who earn the national minimum wage at least £9,000 more by 2024 than the Tories.
Workers who currently earn a minimum wage job would get an immediate pay rise of between £3,444 and £5,986 under the party’s plans.
– The Liberal Democrats have committed £6 billion per year to the welfare system
The party’s proposals will prioritise tackling child poverty by abolishing the two-child limit for Universal Credit and ending the benefits cap.
A Lib Dem government would also plan to invest in boosting the Local Housing Allowance by linking it to average rents in each area.
– Boris Johnson said his Brexit deal has the backing of all Tory candidates
The Prime Minister said that all Conservative parliamentary candidates have vowed to vote for his Brexit deal if he wins a majority at the General Election.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, he said this pledge means that voters can be “100%” certain that a Tory government will “unblock” Parliament and deliver Brexit.
– Jeremy Corbyn has ruled out Scottish independence vote before 2021
The Labour leader said he would “certainly not” consider having a ballot on Scotland leaving the UK within his first year of government.
He ruled out a referendum before the next Holyrood election in 2021, and said: “Up until then, certainly not.”
Tweet of the day
On Twitter, a sobering video shared by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn shone a sombre light on the NHS.
The clip features Jayne Rae, a terminal cancer patient and Labour campaigner who emotionally shared her experience of a trip to a hospital ward this week.
Picture of the day
The SNP’s Westminster leader Ian Blackford said Scotland’s desire for independence is “unstoppable” and must not be blocked by the next prime minister.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn ruled out holding another independence referendum before the Holyrood elections in 2021, despite SNP demands for a vote next year.
Nevertheless, there was little hostility when the pair met on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.
Video of the latest polling positions for the major parties
Here is a round-up of the average polling for the major UK parties over the past seven days.

Custom UI, hotkeys and colors for Zbrush 4R8
You can download hereWARNING:
this is my personal workflow setup,
no support, liability or warranty should be assumed.
I'm just sharing my setup.
if it breaks yours.
bummer.
be warned.
Usage:
this creates a spiraloid menu that is bound the "u" hotkey.
I suggest mapping this key to the back button on your mouse and a wacom pen side button.
once installed, you should never have to press zadd mrgb etc. if you need to, it's still availiable on right click or spacebar.
press setup in top right each time you open a project to reset camera behavior, initialize settings and activates a timelapse recording.
press nuke in top right to erase the polypaint and flood the current subtool with 50% gray and material.
Installation: -extract the "Spiraloid" folder in this location. C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 4R8\ZStartup\Macros\
-restart zbrush.
-Press menu macros > "Reload all Macros".
-Press menu macros > Spiraloid > "_____Install_____" button at the bottom.
-Press preferences > Config > "Store Config" (assuming you want to keep using it after restarting ZB)
-Press preferences > Hotkeys > "Store Hotkeys" (assuming you want to keep using it after restarting ZB)
Caveats:
everybutton is a macro with varying levels of zScripting in them and has been tuned from years of use.
changes from the default hotkeys:
ctrl d : deselects mask
ctrl h : hides mask
ctrl i : inverts mask
shift c : frames tool
ctrl e : merges subtool down.
shift F : toggles wireframe and solo at the same time. super useful for live boolean object editing.
f : toggle wireframe
1 : flat shade
2 : preview render
3 : render
4 : clay shade
5 : pewter shade
6 : toon shade


public enum FabSize
The legal sizes of ExpandableFabs and FabOptions.
FabSize.MINI, FabSize.NORMAL and FabSize.AUTO map to FloatingActionButton.SIZE_MINI, FloatingActionButton.SIZE_NORMAL and FloatingActionButton.SIZE_AUTO, respectively. FabSize.CUSTOM should be used when setting the size of the ExpandableFab or FabOption's layout_width and layout_height to a custom value manually, and thus maps to a random value that will never be used.
Developer Notes:
When using CUSTOM, the Android Framework also requires you to set app:fabCustomSize equal to your custom layout_width/layout_height size and app:maxImageSize equal to your icon size in order to ensure your icon is centered and sized properly.
Example:


Small lightweight menu dropdown components.
To install this library, run: npm install @ngx-lite/menus --save and then from your Angular AppModule:
npm install @ngx-lite/menus --save
AppModule


Bases: object
Class acting as a container for a selection of useful file utilities.
NOTE: THIS MIGHT NOT BE BEST METHOD FOR CALCULATING MD5 checksum!!!!
comment from Alan - tested it and it agrees with md5sum command - haven’t tested performance
check a file exists and return True if it does and False if not
Delete a directory recursively (akin to rm -fr)
Optional args (in particular stop_on_first_error) can be passed to recurseDir()
Make sure a directory exists. By default it also checks that it is writable. Creates parent directories as necessary.
ensure we have both read and write access to a given path (which should already exist)
Get ctime, or if an error then return None
recursively add sizes of regular files contained under directory (in bytes)
Get total and free disk space for a given path as a two-element tuple (total, free) in KB.
If optional argument getNonRoot is set, and a proportion of the disk is reserved for root, then return only the free space available for non-root users.
Get difference in seconds between current time and file mtime
get file mtime
Get the mount point (string) on which a path resides, or if it does not exist then the path name of the lowest-level parent directory which does exist (i.e. the filesystem on which it will end up on once directories are created)
get file size in bytes
Returns True if file has been updated since unix_time or False.
List a directory.
Default is to exclude dotfiles, and to return only relative pathnames. Override with optional args as required.
if emptyListOnException set, returns [] if can’t list the directory
recurse a directory doing actions file_action on each file, and dir_action on each directory these actions must return a Response object
dir_path is a string (starting path)
(called for either all non-directory items or just reguar files, depending on optional arg regular_files_only)
- or None if none required
optional arg stop_on_first_error should be self-explanatory
As _zipDir, but returns a Response object

When I type lean --make
in Ubuntu, in the directory /home/buzzard/Encfs/Computer_languages/Lean/lean-projects/lean-perfectoid-spaces/_target/deps/mathlib
, I get a lot of output which scrolls and scrolls because it's a lot more than 80 characters long. If I make my terminal window super-big and the font super-small so that everything fits onto one line then the scrolling doesn't happen, and it's better when the scrolling doesn't happen because then any errors are far more apparent (I would not expect errors in mathlib but say I'm compiling one of my own projects). Is there any way of stopping the scrolling somehow? I notice that in Windows there doesn't seem to be any output at all. If I redirect STDOUT to /dev/null I could reproduce this -- but then do I still see errors reported? Are they piped to STDERR?
Related I guess -- is it safe to stop compilation with Ctrl-C and then type lean --make
again?
I think you can pipe lean through a command to disable the progress reporting (i.e. the windows experience). Does lean --make | cat
work?
It's safe to stop compilation with Ctrl-C on Linux. I've noticed this doesn't work in the msys2 shell on Windows, but I've never investigated, maybe there's an easy fix.
I have never had an issue, but possibly you have to Ctrl-C twice
It locks up the whole terminal for me more often than not, and I have to kill Lean from the process manager.
But yeah, if it works for you then there's probably an easy fix for me that I should look for!
I'd rather see the names of the files flashing by all on one line without any scrolling, and then a scroll iff there's a sorry / error

Construction firm fined for marina pollution
A CONSTRUCTION firm has been fined £10,000 for polluting the Elizabeth Marina during the construction of the Horizon apartments development.
Benjamin Auguste, project director for Groupe Legendre, appeared in the Magistrate's Court on Thursday following the incidents earlier this year.
Police legal adviser Simon Crowder, prosecuting, said that it was difficult to measure the harm that the incidents had caused but that it was likely there were already a large number of pollutants in the marina due to the nature of the activities which took place there.
He added that environmental protection officers had carried out extensive sampling and testing of the affected area of the marina and there was no evidence of aquatic life being harmed. The pollution was predominantly 'visual' and the risk had been 'low', he said.
Advocate James Angus, defending Groupe Legendre, said that the unexpected discovery of an old, unrecorded and irregularly-shaped sea wall during the excavation had stopped the business from putting in measures which would have stopped silt from escaping.
However, he said that after finding it, work stopped immediately and a geo-texture membrane was ordered and installed shortly after.
Magistrate Bridget Shaw fined the company £10,000.
