The Prince of Egypt
The best scene in _The Prince of Egypt_, a modern animated retelling of _The Ten Commandments_, occurs after Moses visits God at the burning bush. He meets his wife, Tzipporah, and giddily tells her the news, dances with her, and she steps back slowly in a quiet wonderment. No dialogue is heard. This is all done in pantomime, as Hans Zimmer's score annunciates what's on the screen.
I highlight this to distinguish what makes _PoE_ different from nearly ANY other animated film I could remember. It isn't a typical scene. In any other film, the (redundant) dialogue would be heard, the violins would screech to represent Tzipporah's response, and all of this would occur at an extreme close-up. Not here. If Orson Welles had directed this film, he would have done the same thing.
This film is so gloriously _cinematic_ that it's poetry. There are scenes in this film work so visually well that it speaks on multiple levels. Take the scene where Moses confronts Rameses and firstborn, in front of the hieroglyphic indicating the drowning of Hebrew children. Rameses' son is in the middle of the frame, perfectly situated in the hieroglyphic jaws of death. Not only is it a conversation of the terrible past, but it is a foreshadowing of the worst plague to come.
There's a scene where the young Moses confronts "the man he calls father", Pharoah Seti. The backdrop is a giant statue of Seti, and when they speak, Seti's face matches that of the great monument behind him. It's as if young Moses were confronting not just Pharoah, but centuries-old traditions and authority. Brilliant.
Then there are the technological achievements that weren't even possible a few years ago. Not just the parting of the Red Sea--we've seen that bit in the coming attractions--but how about the water in the opening sequence, when Baby Moses is placed in a basket in the river. The river itself, swishes, rolls, and plain darn LOOKS LIKE A REAL RIVER.
Much of Pharoah's kingdom has a scope and greatness that has been compared to David Lean. Thousands of extras have been replicated, but there are no false images. Even those individuals at a great distance have an authenticity to them.
The voices are also well done. Val Kilmer is not my first choice for Moses, but he brings about a fine metamorphisis: from fun-loving prankster in the opening reel to dynamic leader. (I have to remind myself: didn't he get his start with the sophmoric comedies _Top Secret!_ and _Real Genius_? ) Ralph Fiennes does an admirable job as the Pharoah Ramses, and Patrick Stewart even brings in some dignity as the Pharoah Seti. Michelle Pfieffer (as Tzipporah) and Martin Short (as the sorcerer Huy) are the least recognizable, while Jeff Goldblum (Aaron) and Sandra Bullock (Miriam) have more familiar vocal = mannerisms.
I can now attest that, after trudging several years through _Anastasia_ and _Hercules_, the songs _are_ memorable once again. _When You Believe_ is probably Oscar bound, and only lacks when sung by the divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. (That's because it works better if it were sung simply, not throwing in every nuance of "ooh-whooah-aaah" that Mariah and Whitney are known for). Also, Baby's Lullaby and Heaven's Eyes are also catchy.
None of these tremendous advances in animation, catchy tunes and great acting would be worth a cent if the story driving it didn't demand such respect. And here, in the year of the "tell me a story" film (_Men With Guns_, _Smoke Signals_, even _Saving Private Ryan_), we have the mother of all stories. This is a story that, according to Deuteronomy, was commanded to be told in every household, for all generations.
Who doesn't want to relate to a reluctant hero with a nearly impossible task, demand justice and freedom for the oppressed? When God calls Moses to pursue this task, you can see Moses' weakness, his tremor, his uncertainty. When he initially fails to have Ramses relent his torture, the Israelites complain that Moses is making it worse for them. Yet somehow he's steadfast, he prevails, follows strange orders (drop your rod--it will turn to a snake, put the blood of a lamb over your doorposts), and acheives the impossible. When Moses was inbetween the Red Sea and thousands of angry Egyptian warriors, God had made a way where there was no way.
For all that familiarity, the story is still most poignant and powerful. It still speaks many things to many different people, liberals, conservatives, Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists, rich, poor, and so on. Jeff Goldblum, in a radio interview, raved that this is a story that, the deeper you look into it, the more you get out of it. I couldn't agree more.
Will kids dig it? I hope so. But this film isn't for kids, but for everybody. The makers at Dreamworks have a philosophy that animation isn't necessarily a category of itself, but a vehicle to bring about a story, _any_ story.
_The Prince of Egypt_ is a seminal film. It will be remembered for years to come, not only on anniversaries during religious feasts, but for its' landmark understanding of film, period. I don't think I'm exaggerating that this may take animation where _Citizen Kane_ took mainstream film nearly sixty years ago.

public static org.w3c.dom.Document createDocument(boolean isSecureProcessing)
TODO: This isn't directly compatable with DOM Level 2. The Level 2 createDocument call also creates the root element, and thus requires that you know what that element will be before creating the Document. We should think about whether we want to change this code, and the callers, so we can use the DOM's own method. (It's also possible that DOM Level 3 may relax this sequence, but you may give up some intelligence in the DOM by doing so; the intent was that knowing the document type and root element might let the DOM automatically switch to a specialized subclass for particular kinds of documents.)
isSecureProcessing

public java.lang.String getUniqueID(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
Warning: The base implementation uses the Node object's hashCode(), which is NOT guaranteed to be unique. If that method hasn't been overridden in this DOM ipmlementation, most Java implementions will derive it from the object's address and should be OK... but if your DOM uses a different definition of hashCode (eg hashing the contents of the subtree), or if your DOM may have multiple objects that represent a single Node in the data structure (eg via proxying), you may need to find another way to assign a unique identifier.
Also, be aware that if nodes are destroyed and recreated, there is an open issue regarding whether an ID may be reused. Currently we're assuming that the input document is stable for the duration of the XPath/XSLT operation, so this shouldn't arise in this context.
(DOM Level 3 is investigating providing a unique node "key", but that won't help Level 1 and Level 2 implementations.)
node
- whose identifier you want to obtain
public static boolean isNodeAfter(org.w3c.dom.Node node1, org.w3c.dom.Node node2)
There are some cases where ordering isn't defined, and neither are the results of this function -- though we'll generally return true. TODO: Make sure this does the right thing with attribute nodes!!!

Warning: Some aspects of "document order" are not well defined. For example, the order of attributes is considered meaningless in XML, and the order reported by our model will be consistant for a given invocation but may not match that of either the source file or the serialized output.
parent
- Must be the parent of both child1 and child2.child1

public static org.w3c.dom.Node getParentOfNode(org.w3c.dom.Node node) throws java.lang.RuntimeException
Background: The DOM believes that you must be your Parent's Child, and thus Attrs don't have parents. XPath said that Attrs do have their owning Element as their parent. This function bridges the difference, either by using the DOM Level 2 ownerElement function or by using a "silly and expensive function" in Level 1 DOMs.
(There's some discussion of future DOMs generalizing ownerElement into ownerNode and making it work on all types of nodes. This still wouldn't help the users of Level 1 or Level 2 DOMs)

mechanisms were used to obtain itpublic org.w3c.dom.Element getElementByID(java.lang.String id, org.w3c.dom.Document doc)
Note that DOM Level 1 had no ability to retrieve this information. DOM Level 2 introduced it but does not promise that it will be supported in all DOMs; those which can't support it will always return null.
TODO: getElementByID is currently unimplemented. Support DOM Level 2?
id
- The unique identifier to be searched for.doc
- The document to search within.
public java.lang.String getUnparsedEntityURI(java.lang.String name, org.w3c.dom.Document doc)
XML processors may choose to use the System Identifier (if one is provided) to resolve the entity, rather than the URI in the Public Identifier. The details are dependent on the processor, and we would have to support some form of plug-in resolver to handle this properly. Currently, we simply return the System Identifier if present, and hope that it a usable URI or that our caller can map it to one. TODO: Resolve Public Identifiers... or consider changing function name.
If we find a relative URI reference, XML expects it to be resolved in terms of the base URI of the document. The DOM doesn't do that for us, and it isn't entirely clear whether that should be done here; currently that's pushed up to a higher levelof our application. (Note that DOM Level 1 didn't store the document's base URI.) TODO: Consider resolving Relative URIs.
(The DOM's statement that "An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM" refers only to parsed entities, not unparsed, and hence doesn't affect this function.)
name
- A string containing the Entity Name of the unparsed
entity.doc
- Document node for the document to be searched.
private static org.w3c.dom.Node locateAttrParent(org.w3c.dom.Element elem, org.w3c.dom.Node attr)
The DOM Level 1 developers expected that folks would keep track of the last Element they'd seen and could recover the info from that source. Obviously that doesn't work very well if the only information you've been presented with is the Attr. The DOM Level 2 getOwnerElement() method fixes that, but only for Level 2 and later DOMs.
elem
- Element whose subtree is to be searched for this Attrattr
- Attr whose owner is to be located.

- DOM Node to be examined
getNodeData(Node,FastStringBuffer)
public static void getNodeData(org.w3c.dom.Node node, FastStringBuffer buf)
There are open questions regarding whitespace stripping. Currently we make no special effort in that regard, since the standard DOM doesn't yet provide DTD-based information to distinguish whitespace-in-element-context from genuine #PCDATA. Note that we should probably also consider xml:space if/when we address this. DOM Level 3 may solve the problem for us.

SoundJS: Mobile Safe Approach
Synopsis: An approach to playing audio that also works on mobile devices
Topics: sound, play, mobile safe approaches, best practices
Target: SoundJS 0.5.2+
This tutorial is part of the SoundJS GitHub repository.
Check out the repository for more tutorials and a handful of helpful samples.
Introduction
This tutorial will outline techniques for playing audio that work on the majority of devices and browsers, and specifically allows playback on mobile devices (phones/tablets) where security limitations often cause problems. It assumes you have read the Basics and Best Practices tutorial and uses the HTML built with it as a starting point. The end result will be similar to the MobileSafe.html example. Your starting html document should look like this:
Playing on Touch
A limitation that most mobile devices share is requiring media playback to be launched by a user initiated event, such as click, touch, or key press. Reportedly, this is to protect users from annoying sites and to prevent sites from automatically using bandwidth for users with limited data plans. If all you need to do is play audio in response to user interaction, then this is trivial. Just play each sound in a function that is triggered by user events.
For our first example, we'll play audio in direct response to a user initiated touch event. This is simple to execute, and works everywhere we've tested. First, we want add a message to our <body> before all the scripts are loaded to give ourselves and anyone else using the code some feedback.
Sending a Message
The next thing we do is get a JavaScript reference to the html message so we can alter it. We add a
variable displayMessage
to our inline script, and inside of the init function use the DOM
method getElementByID()
to assign it a value. It is a best practice to store off references to
the DOM that you plan to reuse because getting values from the DOM, indeed any form of walking the DOM, is
expensive.
Wait for Touch
Now we want to change our handleLoad
function to add a click listener to our display message and
to update the message to suggest the user touch the screen. We add the click listener to the
displayMessage
element and not right to the document because document click does not work on iOS
devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod).
Handle Click
You may have already noticed the handleClick
function being passed with the click listener.
Unsurprisingly, we now want to create a handleClick
function. In this function we will again update
the feedback message for the user, which can be especially useful when things are not working on mobile devices
with no error console. Next we play sounds using our old friend
Sound.play
. Remember back in the Basics tutorial
when we passed in ids when registering our audio? Now is when that pays off. Instead of trying to remember the
big long audio path and name string, or store it off as a global variable, we can simple pass in the
easy-to-remember ids we set. Fabulous, easy, and readable!
Ready to Rock
And that's all there is to it, you can now make sound on mobile devices. However, this only works in response to user events, so your code has to be geared towards responding to user initiated events. If that's all you need, this is the easy way to do it.
Pro-tip: It's worth noting that as long as you have a user initiated event in your immediate call stack, you can play sound. This helps lead to the next more flexible solution. This is what your code should look like at this point.
Playing After Touch
From this point on, things are going to get a little more complex. The payoff is that you will have an easier to maintain codebase that will work virtually everywhere. As you now know, if you have a touch event in your call stack, sounds will play on mobile devices. We are going to take advantage of this by launching our entire application (the JavaScript code) from a touch event. You may be asking "can it really be that easy?" Well, no, but that's why we have this tutorial!
Namespace and Closure
The first change we want to make is to set up our code more like an application. If you are building something more complex, hopefully you have already taken these steps.
- create a namespace that wraps all your code
- move the business logic into an "application" object
- wrap the application object in a function closure
Some of you might be thinking "Whoa! Namespace? Closure? Wait, what?" Don't worry, when you see the code it will make more sense. And this is a good excuse to learn about namespaces and closures, both of which are useful in JavaScript application development. Another best practice would be to move this code into it's own JavaScript file to separate it from the HTML file, but also so it can be cached by browsers - but as stated previously, inline code makes our demonstration easier. Please note that there are lots of ways to do namespacing, and many different approaches to application formatting. The way we have advocated is inline with CreateJS coding standards.
After our code has been migrated, we need to change the syntax to make the functions members of our application.
Change Scope
Previously, our displayMessage
variable and functions were global, declared on the window object.
Our scope has changed, because they are now part of the MyApp
object, so we want to reference them
as object properties using this
syntax. For example, instead of assigning a value to displayMessage
,
we now assign a value to this.displayMessage
.
We'll also add feedback to let users know when we are waiting for audio to load. We change handleLoad
to play the loaded sounds, and provide some feedback to the user about what we are playing. Note that for this
technique to work on iOS devices, you need to initialize the Sound plugins in the init
function. We
no longer use the handleClick
function in our new MyApp
Object, so we remove it.
Launch App
Next, we make a new init
function to kick off our app, which will still be called by our <body>
tag onload
function. Our new kickoff code is going to launch the app inside of a click event.
Obviously, we will need to add a new handleClick
function, which will remove the click listener and
start our app. Removing listeners when you don't plan to use them again is a best practice, and assists with
garbage collection in your application.
Apply Application Scope
So now our application will be launch inside of a touch scope, which allows audio to play. We need to do one
more essential step: Currently, our handleLoad
function is not called in the MyApp scope. That
means it will not have access to the MyApp object (this), and that the audio is not played inside of the touch
scope. We need this function to execute in our application scope to fix these problems, which we do using the
handy createjs.proxy
method. Createjs.proxy uses
Function.apply
to set the scope that a function executes in, setting the reference of "this".
Function scope is a very important topic of JavaScript application development, so it can be worth investing
some time in research to understand it better.
Ready to Rock Everywhere
And that's all there is to it, you can now play audio on most mobile devices! If you already have an amazing application using SoundJS that you want to work on mobile devices, you can just launch it inside of a touch event and make sure sound playback is called in your application scope.
To improve this approach further, you can add browser agent sniffing to determine the browser and device you are on, and only require a touch to start when on mobile devices. Adding some style to the user feedback message would also be a nice touch. Your final code should look like the following:
Conclusion
This wraps up the tutorial on approaches you can use to play audio on the broadest possible range of devices and browsers. The above example has been successfully tested on Mobile Safari and Android Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Stock Android browsers, as well as all major desktop browsers. Good places to learn more are the SoundJS online documentation and GitHub examples. A great place to get help or discuss SoundJS is the SoundJS Community page.

\FBMYSQLSHOW\FR
Section: MySQL Database System (1)Updated: 12/16/2011
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
mysqlshow - display database, table, and column informationSYNOPSIS
- mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]
DESCRIPTION
mysqlshow provides a command-line interface to several SQL SHOW statements. See Section 12.7.5, lqSHOW Syntaxrq. The same information can be obtained by using those statements directly. For example, you can issue them from the mysql client program.
Invoke mysqlshow like this:
-
shell> mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]
- * If no database is given, a list of database names is shown.
- * If no table is given, all matching tables in the database are shown.
- * If no column is given, all matching columns and column types in the table are shown.
The output displays only the names of those databases, tables, or columns for which you have some privileges.
If the last argument contains shell or SQL wildcard characters (lq*rq, lq?rq, lq%rq, or lq_rq), only those names that are matched by the wildcard are shown. If a database name contains any underscores, those should be escaped with a backslash (some Unix shells require two) to get a list of the proper tables or columns. lq*rq and lq?rq characters are converted into SQL lq%rq and lq_rq wildcard characters. This might cause some confusion when you try to display the columns for a table with a lq_rq in the name, because in this case, mysqlshow shows you only the table names that match the pattern. This is easily fixed by adding an extra lq%rq last on the command line as a separate argument.
mysqlshow supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the [mysqlshow] and [client] groups of an option file. mysqlshow also supports the options for processing option files described at Section <IP_ADDRESS>.1, lqCommand-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handlingrq.
-
*
--help,
-?
Display a help message and exit.
-
*
--bind-address=ip_address
On a computer having multiple network interfaces, this option can be used to select which interface is employed when connecting to the MySQL server.
This option is supported only in the version of mysqlshow that is supplied with MySQL Cluster, beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3.4. It is not available in standard MySQL 5.1 releases.
-
*
--character-sets-dir=path
The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 9.5, lqCharacter Set Configurationrq.
-
*
--compress,
-C
Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support compression.
-
*
--count
Show the number of rows per table. This can be slow for non-MyISAM tables.
-
*
--debug[=debug_options],
-# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is 'd:t:o,file_name'. The default is 'd:t:o'.
-
*
--debug-check
Print some debugging information when the program exits. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.21.
-
*
--debug-info
Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics when the program exits. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.14.
-
*
--default-character-set=charset_name
Use charset_name as the default character set. See Section 9.5, lqCharacter Set Configurationrq.
-
*
--host=host_name,
-h host_name
Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
-
*
--keys,
-k
Show table indexes.
-
*
--password[=password],
-p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the --password or -p option on the command line, mysqlshow prompts for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section <IP_ADDRESS>, lqEnd-User Guidelines for Password Securityrq. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.
-
*
--pipe,
-W
On Windows, connect to the server using a named pipe. This option applies only if the server supports named-pipe connections.

New fusion: reduced leakage of PtetR promoter
We have adopted a new and improved approach to reduce the leakage of PtetR by fusing the upstream sequence of PtetR with PL (a strong promoter in lambda phage). The low-leakage characteristics of the improved promoter will make our quorum sensing system more sensitive.
Introduction
PtetR (Part:BBa_R0040) is a promoter constitutively ON and repressed by TetR.
In 2018 Team Fudan-CHINA modelled it and in 2019 Team Fudan characterized that promoter. This year, we used PtetR to drive the expression of mcbEFG in order to regulating the growth of bacteria. We found that PtetR has the problem of leakage (base level expression), so we tried to improve this part to obtain a low-leakage promoter.
Strategy of the Improvement
As a frequently used promoter, PtetR has been studied thoroughly. Here we adopted another idea of fusion promoter that few people tried: PL promoter is a strong promoter from lambda phage. We used the PtetR regulatory sequence tetO to replace the -35 upstream and -35 ~ -10 parts of PL promoter, thus obtained the fusion promoter PtetO2 (BBa_K3606006); replace the -35 upstream, -35 ~ -10 part and -10 downstream of PL promoter, thus obtained the fusion promoter PtetO3 (BBa_K3606007).
Experimental Procedure
- Transform a control plasmid containing PtetR (BBa_R0040) with GFP and an effect plasmid containing PtetO2 / PtetO3 with GFP into BL21.
- Pick a single colony by a sterile tip from each of the LB plates for all the experimental and control groups. Add the colony into 3 ml LB with ampicillin at 100 μg/ml. Incubate overnight at 37℃ in a shaker.
- Measure and keep all groups OD600 reach 1. Inoculate each group with with 1/5000 concentration. Incubate 12 hours at 37℃ in a shaker.
- Add 100 µl bacteria culture medium into each well of a 96-well plate. One well of LB as blank, one group of wild type DH10B as control.
- Measure OD600 and fluorescence continuously every 30 minutes with a microplate reader.
Results
We have measured the expression level of PtetO2 (BBa_K3606006), PtetO3 (BBa_K3606007) along with the original PtetR (BBa_R0040) via plate reader by combining them with GFP, when they were induced by different concentration of anhydrotetracycline (aTc) or not induced.
Figure 1. When aTc=0, the expression level of the promoter and bacterial OD: When OD>0.6, the promoter data is meaningful.
Figure 3. When aTc=200, the expression level of the promoter and bacterial OD: When OD>0.6, the promoter data is meaningful.
Figure 2. When aTc=100, the expression level of the promoter and bacterial OD: When OD>0.6, the promoter data is meaningful.
Figure 4. When aTc=400, the expression level of the promoter and bacterial OD: When OD>0.6, the promoter data is meaningful.
Under the induction of various concentrations of aTc, the expression level of PtetO2 is very low, but the expression level of PtetO3 is moderate. Although the expression level of PtetO3 is lower than PtetR, it is very suitable for our project design. Since PtetO3 will be used to drive mcbEFG, if mcbEF translates too much channel protein and mcbG produces too much immune protein, then when McbEFG is turned off, those expressed proteins will take a long time to degrade completely, reducing the sensitivity of quorum sensing.
Figure 5. When aTc=100, fold of increase of promoters
Figure 6. When aTc=200, fold of increase of promoters
Figure 7. When aTc=400, fold of increase of promoters
The results show that among the three promoters, PtetO3 has the highest fold of increase. This means that it is the most sensitive to the induction of aTc, which can improve the sensitivity of quorum sensing.
Due to the limit of time, and we ran our experiments in parallel, we could not implant PtetO3 into our mcbEFG constructs nor try on supression experiments.

问题描述 :
The Genographic Project is a research partnership between IBM and The National Geographic Society that is analyzing DNA from hundreds of thousands of contributors to map how the Earth was populated.
As an IBM researcher, you have been tasked with writing a program that will find commonalities amongst given snippets of DNA that can be correlated with individual survey information to identify new genetic markers.
A DNA base sequence is noted by listing the nitrogen bases in the order in which they are found in the molecule. There are four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). A 6-base DNA sequence could be represented as TAGACC.
Given a set of DNA base sequences, determine the longest series of bases that occurs in all of the sequences.
输入:
Input to this problem will begin with a line containing a single integer n indicating the number of datasets. Each dataset consists of the following components:
- A single positive integer m (2 <= m <= 10) indicating the number of base sequences in this dataset.
- m lines each containing a single base sequence consisting of 60 bases.
输出:
For each dataset in the input, output the longest base subsequence common to all of the given base sequences. If the longest common subsequence is less than three bases in length, display the string “no significant commonalities” instead. If multiple subsequences of the same longest length exist, output only the subsequence that comes first in alphabetical order.

Major Problems at College Campuses
As you begin to look into colleges or if you are already in college, it's important to be aware of the problems that occur in college and to see if it's safe or not.
College Campus Problems:
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse
- - In some colleges high levels of drug use and heavy drinking can be seen. This is a problem that should be recongnized by all college studets and those getting ready for college.
- Violence
- - On many campuses there are high leves of violence. There are murder cases,shootouts and other types of violence. It's important that all students are aware of this issue and know that this can occur in a college.
- Sexual Assaults
- - On some college campuses there may be sexual assaults and it's a major problem that students should know
- Gender & Sexual Discrimination
- - Since many colleges are very diverse, there has been an increase in gender & sexual discrimination in which students question others sexual identitites and some aren't accepted beacuse of thier gender.
- Hazing
- - Hazing involves harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group and in college, many students are involved in groups or clubs like sports teams, sororities, and other organizations. So this is another major problem students should be aware of.
Tips to combat these issues


Hey, there! I'm a recent graduate in computer science (2021) from the University of California, San Diego.

Open source webrtc stack implementation in go.
The gortc project aims to implement WebRTC protocol in golang,
providing interoperability between golang clients (or servers),
browsers (or other agents, e.g. node-js implementation).
Current focus is reliable UDP connectivity between go clients behind NAT.
- Create tools and libraries for NAT traversal and ICE
- Make them safe, reliable, fast, stable and simple to use and extend
- Make them useful (extensible and flexible) for enterprise while staying open source
- Don't be hype and PR driven, popularity and stars count are not appropriate metrics
- High and rigorous standards for core packages:
- Minimum (none is ideal) 3-rd party deps
- Greater than 90% test coverage
- Benchmarks to track performance
- Zero-allocation in hot paths
- Tests for zero allocation
- Fuzz-testing
- Integration (functional, e2e) tests
- Static checks (linters)
- Test with
-race
flag
- Run ci tests with
go tip
daily
- API backward compatibility check
- Less is more, avoid feature bloat
- Mostly bottom-up development with feedback loop
- Decoupling and abstraction layer isolation
- Conscious architecture design with clear goals
- Follow effective go and CodeReviewComments
- Follow semver with
v
prefix for tags, like v1.2.0
- Use RFC wording whenever possible but not at the expense of idiomaticity
- Manage dependencies via go modules
Thanks JetBrains for support!
The gortc project uses TeamCity as CI/CD tool
that greatly simplifies running a lot of end-to-end and cross-tests for each sub-project.
The provided OpenSource license allows project not doing compromise on reliability.
Thanks so much for contribution to the gortc project:
Project is in active development, but some of the build blocks are already implemented.
Check
github organization for available code.

9 Tips to Convince the Exec of Virtual Training
You have done your thinking. You believe it is time. You know that incorporatingVirtual Training or VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) into your L&D offering is the right thing for your organisation.
In getting started with Virtual Training (VILT) you may need to convince your Exec team. Where do you begin?
These 9 tips may help you think through your approach, so you can make your recommendations to your Exec in a balanced, well-prepared, credible manner …and hopefully be successful!
- Align your recommendations to your organisation’s strategy
- Cherry-pick benefits that will resonate with your Exec
- Be convinced yourself
- Create a balanced business case
- Get an Exec member onside before you present your case
- Use the science of influence
- Work up some example case studies for your own organisation
- Stress the importance of upfront investment for long term gain
- Persuade the Exec to experience a VILT demo
1. Align your recommendations to your organisation’s strategy
What is your organisation’s strategy – both short and longer term? What commitments have been declared? For example, does your organisation intend to focus on being more: Inclusive? Innovative? Carbon friendly? People focused? Perhaps there is a shift to support more home working or development of remote teams.
Okay, you get the idea. If you can demonstrate how moving to VILT aligns with the direction and needs of the business now and in the future, the Exec are likely to be more interested.
For example, a global engineering client of The Virtual Training Team has made a commitment to be more ‘digital’. This has enabled the L&D team to build a strong business case for investment in VILT as it means using more technology, communicating remotely and using less resource.. all aligned to the success of their strategy.
2. Cherry-pick benefits that will resonate with your Exec
There are many benefits in making the move to using VILT. If you swamp the Exec with the benefits of VILT it could feel overwhelming. Frankly, you don’t want to come across as evangelical rather be an enthused and knowledgeable advocate!
Consider which 2/3 benefits will resonate most. Use these to connect with the Exec. You may need to do some detecting to uncover which are likely to be the most important.
This doesn’t mean that you ignore the other benefits, you can always backfill with these later. This is about choosing what to really focus on to get the Exec to buy in. Then, when you present your recommendation to them, you can frame the benefits in such a way that it aligns with their thinking and longer-term strategic intent.
3. Be convinced yourself
Are you convinced that making the move to incorporate VILT is the right one? Maybe you have concerns about what this might mean for you and your L&D colleagues.
Click here to read our blog on how to convince your L&D team to embrace the move to VILT.
If you have any ongoing doubts yourself, then this may be a sign that you haven’t finished your investigation and that your business case still needs some work.
Talk to other companies who have already made the move and find out what worked and didn’t work for them.
There are many benefits of virtual training (VILT) but If you are not fully convinced yourself, it may be difficult convincing your Exec.
4. Create a balanced business case
When preparing to present your recommendations to the Exec, prepare thoroughly and deliver a balanced case.
You may choose to share (or at least consider, so you can be prepared for questions):
- The advantages and disadvantages of using VILT
- The upfront investment vs the cost saving
- How VILT aligns with the needs, strategy and values of your organization
- What is the risk of using VILT / not using VILT?
- What alternative options are available?
Then you can share your recommendation, demonstrating that it is a robust, well thought-through and balanced case for consideration.
To quote an Exec Board Member we spoke to recently, his advice was “Get scientific, not religious. There is little point in having loads of converts among non-decision makers and none at the top of the house”.
5. Get an Exec member onside before you present your case
It makes good business sense to test out your recommendation on somebody with inside knowledge of how the Exec might think and react.
Ask lots of questions and ask for specific feedback. Ask about what questions, concerns or challenges the Exec might have in moving to VILT so you can prepare for these in advance too.
You can then develop your approach, so you are in the best possible space to present a winning case.
Additionally, you will already have somebody in the Exec team who is convinced by your approach.
Often it is your Finance Director that can be most helpful to get onside. Typically, if they can see the cost benefits of a move to VILT then they will be more likely to support you in making your case.
Most times your HRD will already be a supporter and they can sponsor you having time on the Board meeting agenda.
6. Use the science of influence
Consider using a theory from psychology called ‘Social Proof’ which can help to convince your Exec. This works by demonstrating how comparable other organisations have used VILT to positive effect. If you can demonstrate that X, Y or Z company have already successfully made the move, then this makes it easier and safer for the Exec to say yes. Many people prefer to move forward down a well proven track, rather than be pioneers.
It is important that you choose carefully which organisations you example. Which are most likely to appeal to your Exec? Is it an admired brand, or even a competitor? Get it wrong and it can backfire, so think carefully about those that are likely to hit their hot buttons.
Find case studies, endorsements and examples of what other organisations are doing by researching online or with your network. For example, in research conducted by The Association of Talent Development (ATD) in their 2017 ‘State of the Industry’ report they found that 64% of organisations are already using VILT, with a further 22% intending to make the move.
7. Work up some example case studies for your own organisation
Case studies from industry can be useful. Your own case studies can have even greater power to influence as they are real and tangible to decision makers and stakeholders.
Plan ahead on how you intend to use VILT. Work out the numbers, the improvements, outcomes and cost savings so you can demonstrate the impact to the Exec.
Perhaps you intend to move a section of your Onboarding Programme to VILT, or a blended approach of VILT and F2F. How much will this save on travel costs, hotels, subsistence, print, time away from the desk and even carbon footprint? How much does a typical day of classroom training cost at Head Office in comparison to the VILT equivalent?
This way you can create a like for like comparison that the Exec take notice of.
8. Stress the importance of upfront investment for long term gain
This is really important. If you want VILT to succeed in your organisation, it is important that you get it right first time. Why? To avoid matching some of the negative expectations that some people have of VILT approaches such as:
- “The technology will go wrong”
- “It will be dull and one-way”
- “It won’t deliver great results”
- “Learners won’t come back for more”
Click here to read our blog on the common misconceptions of VILT.
All of your VILT deliveries need to blast those negative expectations out of the water! This means convincing the Exec to invest properly in:
- The right delivery platform for your organisation such as WebEx, Adobe Connect or Skype
- Upskilling your trainers at facilitating in a virtual environment
- Help your trainers master the technology so workshops run smoothly
- Investing in how to design and develop VILT and blended learning programmes
- Moving your training providers to those that are truly VILT professionals
If the Exec challenge because they believe that making the move to VILT is just a case of sharing some slides over Skype, then be prepared to challenge back. Be clear on the actions that need to be taken and especially on the advantages of moving some of your training delivery to VILT. Estimate your numbers carefully and prepare your business case thoroughly.
9. Persuade the Exec to experience a VILT demo
Many organisations have found a demonstration session online and live helps to convinces the Exec of the opportunity and potential of VILT.
At the Virtual Training Team, we regularly deliver demonstrations for clients to showcase what quality VILT looks and feels like. It is important is that sponsors and stakeholders experience a VILT workshop so they understand what it is like to participate. Also, we find that they quickly appreciate the trainer skills involved in designing and delivering quality VILT that in turn creates learning transfer.
Demonstrations bring the VILT approach to life. This is where you truly ‘get’ what VILT is all about. We hear comments like “Now I understand!” or “That is way better than I was expecting" or “That is so much more engaging than I imagined” etc.
Demonstrations are often the key moment in decision making to move ahead with VILT. Execs become convinced of the need to invest wisely in using the right platform, upskilling trainers and improving existing training design and materials.

Thank you for the help!
Also, the element constraint expects Matrix<IntVarArgs>, not
Matrix<IntVarArray>.
Best,
Christian

Huawei Mate X Sold Out Within Minutes Of Its Chinese Launch
by Shabana ArifHuawei's foldable phone, Huawei Mate X, made its debut last week, and there's another batch on the way.
November 15 saw the Mate X released into the wild at last, with a price tag of 16,999 yuan (about $3500) and it sold out in a matter of minutes – mirroring the Samsung Galaxy Fold's launch in Korea, which saw the handset sell out just as fast, followed by an influx of resellers flogging the phone at increased prices.
Eager beaver buyers don't have to wait too long before the next wave drops, as Huawei will be rolling out a second load of them this week on November 22. Perhaps anticipating potential issues with its wraparound display, the manufacturer is offering 50 per cent off screen-related repairs and replacements. The Galaxy Fold has had a slew of screen issues - even as recently as September - and with the Mate X's screen on the outside, it seems that it's just asking to be damaged.
A UK release date hasn't been confirmed for the Mate X just yet, but if you're itching to fritter away two grand on a new concept phone, you can see how it holds up against the Galaxy Fold, or check out what the slightly cheaper Motorola Razr has in store.

Azure Scheduler lets you create jobs in the cloud that reliably invoke services inside and outside of Azure—such as calling HTTP/S endpoints or posting messages to Azure Storage queues, Azure Service Bus queues, or Azure Service Bus topics. You can choose to run jobs right away, on a recurring schedule, or at some point in the future.
Scheduler is great for recurring actions—for example, periodically gathering data from Twitter into a feed. It’s also ideal for cleaning up logs, kicking off routine backups, and other application maintenance tasks. Developers can also integrate Scheduler into their applications.
Scheduler operates even in the face of network, computer, and datacenter failures, so your scheduled jobs continue to execute on time. It automatically switches to an alternative datacenter in the same region if needed. Users can also configure alternate endpoints, in case their main endpoint becomes unavailable.
