I work at Voodoo, a French company that creates mobile video games. We have a lot of challenges with performance, availability, and scalability because of the insane amount of traffic our infrastructure supports (billions of events/requests per day …… no joke!). In this setting, every metric is important and gives us a lot of information about the state of our system.
When working with Node.js one of the most critical resources to monitor is the CPU. Most of the time, when working on a low traffic API or project we don’t realize how many simple lines of code can have a huge impact on CPU. On the other hand, when traffic increases, a simple mistake can cost dearly.
What kind of resources does your application need? In most cases, we focus on memory and CPU. Good monitoring of these two elements is mandatory for an application running on production.
For memory, constant monitoring is the best practice to track the worst developer nightmare a.k.a memory leak.
A good way to debug memory leak is a memory dump and/or memory sampling but this is not the subject.
(for more details about V8 and its garbage collector you can read my previous article here)
Stay focused on the CPU!
Most of the time we monitor this resource with a simple solution allowing us to get a graph representing CPU consumption over time. If we want to be reactive we add an alarm, based on a threshold, to warn us when CPU usage is too high.
And what next? We don’t have data about the state of the instance when the CPU usage has increased. So we can’t determine why we had this peak, at least not without an important time of debugging, comparing log, etc. This is exactly why you need to use CPU profiling.
“Most commonly, profiling information serves to aid program optimization. Profiling is achieved by instrumenting either the program source code or its binary executable form using a tool called a profiler”
Basically, for Node.js, CPU profiling is nothing more than collecting data about functions which are CPU consuming. And ideally, get a graphic representation of the collected data a.k.a “flame graph” or “flame chart”.
It will help you to track the exact file, line, and function which takes the most time to execute.
Node.js provides a way to collect data about CPU with two command lines.
The first command just executes your application, the argument just tells to V8 engine to collect data. When you stop your script all information is stored in a file.
node --prof app.js
It is not very clear, is it?
That’s why you just need to run this second command to transform your raw file into a more human-readable output.
node --prof-process isolate-0xnnnnn-v8.log > processed.txt
It seems better, here you can determine which function consumes the most of CPU (percentage of the time).
ClinicJs is a set of tools that allow you to collect data and display performance charts. With “clinic flame” you can generate a flame graph based on CPU consumption.
But once again, you have to stop your app, launch the tool, then terminate the script in order to display the graph (files are generated on the disk).
For more details, you can see the project.
To sum up, here is the list of drawbacks of the two previous solutions.
In conclusion: these are good solutions to debug on development environments and/or on a local machine.
Unfortunately, CPU issues have a worrying tendency to occur on production, and when you are not in front of your screen.
“Inspector” refers to an API thanks to which you can debug your application. By debugging we mean to be able to connect directly to the core of Node.js to collect real-time data about the process.
A module, available since version 8.x of Node.js, provides this kind of feature. There are two advantages to use it:
And here is how to make a CPU profiling with this module:
As you can see, all the data is returned in variable “profile”. Basically, it’s a simple JSON object representing all the call stack and the CPU consumption for each function. And if you want to use an Async/await syntax you can install the module “inspector-api”.
npm install inspector-api --save
It also comes with a built-in exporter to send data to S3, with this method you don’t write anything on the disk!
If you use another storage system you can just collect the data and export it by yourself.
We have an API that we want to test with autocannon tool. At this step, our project is able to serve around 200 requests in 20 seconds. There is probably a mistake somewhere in the code which slows down our application.
But now, what if we want to trigger a CPU profiling remotely (without ssh connection to the server)? It’s possible using Websocket, SSE or any other technology to send a message to your instance.
Here is a simple example of a server using the “ws” module to send a message to a unique instance.
Of course, it only works with one instance, but it’s a fake project to demonstrate the principle ;)
Now we can request our server to ask it to send a message to our instance and start/stop a CPU profiling. In your instance, you can handle the CPU profiling like this:
To sum up: we are able to trigger a CPU profiling, on-demand, in real-time, without interruption or connection to the server. Data can be collected on the disk (and extracted later) or can be sent to S3 (or any other system, PR are welcomed on the inspector-api project).
And because the profiler is a part of V8 itself, the format of the generated JSON file is compatible with the Chrome dev tools.
How can we identify an issue?
A CPU profiling should be read like this:
What does it mean?
The larger is a box (a function call) the more it consumed CPU. So a good CPU profiling should look like a “flame” graph where each stack is the finest possible.
In our example, every request try to generate a token. For this purpose, it calls the function pbkdf2 which is CPU consuming. Our CPU profile looks like a sequence of big blocks of time, like if the last function in the call stack takes 99% of the total time.
The CPU profiling after optimizations, with the same time range.
As you can notice, we have to zoom to the profile if we want to see the call stack, because after optimizations the API was able to take a lot more traffic. Now every function in the call stack looks like a microtask.
And now our application is able to serve more than 200,000 requests in 20 seconds; we increased the performance by a factor of 100k!
With the inspector module, you can do much more than just CPU profiling, here is a non-exhaustive list:
Every tool, even the most powerful, comes with its own disadvantages. If you enable the profiler and/or the debugger on your production you have to keep an eye on two things:
1) performance overhead
A profiler needs to use CPU to work and it collects data into memory. The longer you let it run and the more CPU / memory it will need. This is why you should begin with very short CPU profiling, no more than a few seconds between the start and stop command. And never forget to monitor the impact of the profiler on your own infrastructure. If everything is fine you can increase the time and the frequency of CPU profiling.
One more very important thing: never forget to always stop a started CPU profiling. You can add a timer to automatically call the stop function after a while.
2) security
Using the inspector in Node.js it’s like opening the door of the core of your application. You should be very careful about who can use features like CPU profiling and/or the debugger. Never make the inspector “public” as being able to launch a feature from an unsafe route (not protected with an authentification mechanism). Even the collected data can be seen as critical, never send it to a system you do not trust.
CPU profiling is really a must-have tool for every developer. And now, with some precautions, we can run it on production thanks to the amazing work done by the V8 and Node.js team.
The inspector module offers a lot more features than you can use to debug your application.
I will write another article about using CPU profiling and the inspector on production on a high traffic project.


Freemarker is the templating language we are using for rendering views. It can do a lot of cool stuff, and you should refer to http://freemarker.org/ to learn more.
The Freemarker Configuration object can be accessed via your application TemplateEngineFreemarker singleton. According to the FreeMarker documentation, the configuration will be thread-safe once all settings have been set via a safe publication technique. Therefore, consider modifying it only within an extended NinjaDefault class, during the framework start.
package conf; public class Ninja extends NinjaDefault { @Inject protected TemplateEngineFreemarker templateEngineFreemarker; @Override public void onFrameworkStart() { super.onFrameworkStart(); Configuration freemarkerConfiguration = templateEngineFreemarker.getConfiguration(); ... } }
While you can access the Freemarker Configuration object, you can add your own custom functions using Java code:
freemarkerConfiguration.setSharedVariable("upper", new TemplateMethodModelEx() { @Override public Object exec(List args) throws TemplateModelException { return new SimpleScalar(args.get(0).toString().toUpperCase()); } });
And in your template:
${upper('Make me upper case.')}
But for templating purpose, you can also do it by defining sets of macro functions in separate .ftl.html files.
<#macro bold> <b><#nested /></b> </#macro>
And in your template :
<#import "../layout/functions.ftl.html" as f><EMAIL_ADDRESS>me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This last way should help you making reusable macros when using one or another HTML/CSS framework.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY A film review by Chuck Dowling Copyright 1996 Chuck Dowling
Jingle All the Way (1996) *1/2 out of ***** - C:Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, Phil Hartman, Rita Wilson, Robert Conrad, James Belushi.
How is it that Arnold can make such high concept action films and such low concept comedies? This is a completely absurd film that should insult anyone over the age of 10. Arnold plays a normal father who, in what is now the most overused character description in films, works all the time to support his family therefore not having enough free time to spend with them. After missing his son's karate class, he promises to get his son the toy he most wants for Christmas, an action figure called "TurboMan". However, it's now Christmas Eve, and the toy is impossible to find. So Schwarzenegger travels from toy store to toy store hunting for the item, getting into one ridiculous situation after another.
To make matters worse for Arnold, he has a rival in Sinbad, who is also hunting for the toy. Sinbad somehow manages to show up in the exact same places as Arnold does at the exact same times. They hit each other and yell at each other while searching for the toy, and what fun that is.
The previews of the film wisely show no clips from the film's ludicrous final 30 minutes, where at a parade, Arnold becomes TurboMan. Sinbad becomes his arch-rival. Now this TurboMan outfit from the parade is complete with a working jetpack and deadly flying weapons, which immediately makes me ask, if this costume is just for a parade, well why isn't there an actual TurboMan? This costume literally turns Arnold into a superhero! Ridiculous.
Basically what we have here is a live action cartoon, which I would say is appropriate for the whole family if it weren't for a few things. For example, Robert Conrad plays a motorcycle cop who always seems to turn up where Arnold does, and he's treated like a buffoon for doing his job. Hey kids!  In more than one scene, Sinbad (who plays a mailman) threatens people with a mailbomb. Ha ha. Then at one point he gives the package to Conrad which then blows up. But it's like a cartoon bomb, it only affects Conrad because he was holding it. Ha ha. Hey kids! Mailbombs are funny! I sincerely hope that none of the bombing victims from Atlanta or Oklahoma City go with their families to see this film hoping for a good natured comedy for the kids. As a matter of fact, I hope no one goes to see this no matter who they are, bombing victim or not.

A patient visits his primary care physician after experiencing low energy levels. The primary care physician sends the patient to a reference lab for blood tests. After the primary care physician receives the lab results report, he determines that his patient should visit a hematologist for more specialized care. Prior to the patient’s visit with the hematologist, the primary care physician sends a continuity of care document and the structured lab data to the hematologist via Direct. Later, the primary care physician uses the hematologist’s recommendations during a follow-up visit with the patient.
Meaningful Use Stage 2 Objectives related to the exchange of clinical information: Incorporate clinical lab-test results into Certified EHR Technology as structured data. (Meaningful Use Menu Set 10 for EPs, Meaningful Use Menu Set 8 for EH/CAHs) |
| The primary care physician extracts a continuity of care document from his EHR, which has been properly formatted according to the HL7 CDA Release 2 CCD, including using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), Logistical Observation Identifiers names and Codes (LOINC) 2.38, RxNorm, and Systemized Nomenclature of Medical--Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) vocabularies. He then authors a Direct message and attaches the relevant structured lab data, which is formatted according to the HL7 v.2.5.1 Laboratory Results Interface Implementation Guide using LOINC 2.38. In order to select the hematologist as the recipient, the primary care physician accesses a search dialogue in the HISP's user interface, which queries a Provider Directory (following the Certificate Discovery for Direct implementation guide) for the right Direct address. | ||
| When the primary care physician sends the message, it passes through the primary care physician’s Health Information Service Provider (HISP), a contracted brokering agent responsible for the management of security and transport for directed exchange. As it passes through the HISP, the message is encrypted using the x.509 Certificate associated with the hematologist’s Direct address, and delivered to the hematologist’s Direct address in accordance with the Applicability Statement for Secure Health Transport. | ||
| The hematologist’s HISP decrypts the message and routes it to the hematologist. | ||
| The hematologist uses the HISP’s user interface to access the lab results report in his Direct inbox. |

It is easy to see why Jesus had to be a carpenter. His Father
loved to build, and demonstrated His magnificent blue-collar attributes in three major
projects. The first was what many mistakenly call Noah’s Ark… it was actually God’s. The
divine instructions were detailed and Noah followed them perfectly, and in so doing provided
everything that was necessary for the remnant of God’s creation to be saved as He judged
everybody and everything else. The second was the Tent of Meeting. Once again, God’s
heavenly anointed craftsmen followed God’s amazingly specific plans to produce a mobile
sanctuary for men to meet and interact with God. The third and final earthly structure was
His temple. From the foundation to the finishing trim, Solomon duplicated the explicit
blueprints drawn by the Almighty Architect Himself.

Akka HTTP testing
Akka-Http is a akka based http library for building RESTful services in scala. In this series of posts, I will be talking about using akka-http to build REST services. This is the third post in the series. You can access all the posts in this series here.
In this post, we are going to discuss testing REST API’s in akka-http.
TL;TR You can access complete project on github.
Testing in Akka HTTP
Akka HTTP puts a lot of focus on testability of code. It has a dedicated module akka-http-testkit for testing rest api’s. When you use this testkit you are not need to run external web server or application server to test your rest API’s. It will do all needed the stubbing and mocking for you which greatly simplifies the testing process.
In this post, first we are going to discuss how to structure our code which can be easily testable with akka testkit. Once we have structured code, then we will discuss how to write unit test cases which tests the behavior of the rest API.
Adding dependency
You need to add akka-http-testkit library to test your rest services.
"com.typesafe.akka" %%"akka-http-testkit-experimental" % "1.0",
Code structure
Before we can do any unit testing, structuring our code in a way which can allow us to unit test is very important. The below gives one of the way to structure your REST API’s. Please note that it’s one of the many structuring schema. You can follow any other ones which gives you same effect.
Normally we divide our REST API to two following pieces
- RestService - Defines the route for the rest service.
- Rest server - Defines and creates the environment need to run the rest service.
This kind of way separating concerns of the API allows us to decouple the environment in which the rest service actually runs. In testing, it runs in an emulated server and in production it may runs inside an application server or it’s own server.
The following sections discusses a simple API which we use to a simple customer. We have already discussed about the details of the API in previous post.
Rest service
trait RestService {
implicit val system:ActorSystem
implicit val materializer:ActorMaterializer
val list = new ConcurrentLinkedDeque[Customer]()
import ServiceJsonProtoocol._
val route =
path("customer") {
post {
entity(as[Customer]) {
customer => complete {
list.add(customer)
s"got customer with name ${customer.name}"
}
}
} ~
get {
complete {
list.asScala
}
}
}
}
The above code defines a trait called RestService . Normally a service is a trait because it has to be mixed with some class/object to give the environment. The environment expected by the service includes
- system - Actor System on which this service runs
- materializer - Flow materializer as discussed in earlier blog posts.
These values are implicits. This means we inject these externally when we instantiate this service. This is one of the way to dependency injection in scala.
You can access complete code here.
Once we have rest service ready, now we can define a REST server which serves this service.
REST server
class RestServer(implicit val system:ActorSystem,
implicit val materializer:ActorMaterializer) extends RestService{
def startServer(address:String, port:Int) = {
Http().bindAndHandle(route,address,port)
}
}
object RestServer {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
implicit val actorSystem = ActorSystem("rest-server")
implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()
val server = new RestServer()
server.startServer("localhost",8080)
}
}
The above code creates a REST server which extends our RestService. If you observe the code, we are creating and injecting both actor system and actor materializer.
This way of separating service and server allows us to inject these environment from test cases as shown in below.
You can access complete code here.
Testing Rest API
1. Create Spec with ScalatestRouteTest
class RestSpec extends WordSpec with Matchers with ScalatestRouteTest with RestService{
}
The above code uses scala-test for testing. In our spec, we mix ScalatestRouteTest which comes from akka-http-testkit library. It provides the actor system and flow materializer for test environment. Also we extend our RestService from where we get access to route.
2. Prepare the request
"Customer API" should {
"Posting to /customer should add the customer" in {
val jsonRequest = ByteString(
s"""
|{
| "name":"test"
|}
""".stripMargin)
val postRequest = HttpRequest(
HttpMethods.POST,
uri = "/customer",
entity = HttpEntity(MediaTypes.`application/json`, jsonRequest))
Once we prepare the spec, we prepare the POST request. The above code shows how to create HTTP post request, using HttpRequest API akka-http models.
3. Send request
Once we have the request, we can send the request using ~> operator as below code.
postRequest ~> route ~> check {
status.isSuccess() shouldEqual true
Once we send request, we can test results using many check methods. In our code, we are using status to check is our request returned 200 response. You can not only check for status, you can also test different pieces like response headers, response entity etc.
You can access complete code here.
Now you have a rest service which can be easily unit tested.


FILM TITLE: FEARLESS DIRECTOR: PETER WEIR COUNTRY: USA 1993 CINEMATOGRAPHY: Allen Daviau MUSIC: Maurice Jarre CAST: Jeff Bridges(Max), Isabella Rossellini(Mrs.. Kline), Tom Hulce(Lawyer), Rosie Perez(Carla), John Torturro SUPER FEATURES: It's Peter Weir.... SCREENPLAY BY: Rafael Yglesias, from his own novel.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peter Weir has been on a roll for a long time. His characters are always in a very careful high wire act, on the verge of falling either way into an emotional pit. It is no real suroeise, to see that this film follows that same pattern. At least, this film has a feeling that the person who wrote it knows a little more about the whole subject than not, and it may be just because the screenplay writer, was also the person who wrote the novel.
FEARLESS is not a difficult story, but it is one of those "event" type of stories that require a little time to "heal" itself, and to work itself out. The story is a one liner. A plane crashes, and a few people survive. And those who do can remember the details in, do so in a sort of guilty style, like they should apologize for being alive and not having died. Max has been in an invincible form since, not needing to solve his own problems. And while he is in this form, and capable of helping others ( as it turns out ), his own body is resistant to a few events, like the fact that he is allergic to strawberries. Carla has been feeling awful, because her own child died, just seconds after she let go of him from her hands. Various others are also in a disarray of an emotional stress.
And the film is really about Max, and his ability to help out a few of the plane survivors, specially Carla.
With some very nice performances by Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez, this film is rather nice to watch, and never crosses the line of bad taste, or into the realm of horror. It is about those people's fears, and lack of understanding, since the accident. A tough subject... a tougher story, requiring a tough director to lead it. There are similarities here to the film THE HERO, where Dustin Hoffman has a similar role. Here things are better defined. There a supreme acting job made the film.

I am a engineer with a strong passion about data.
I take advantages of strong technical background to manipulate huge amount of data, converting it in useful information to expose in simple dashboards in order to support people to take best decisions every day. I am totally fascinated about Machine Learning algorithms and how to apply them to understand complex patterns and behavior. I used to apply machine learning at public datasets after I impremented it by hand from scratch, because I strong believe that deep understanding of these algorithm make you master the technique.
Lastly, I have experience with startup environment that is very dynamic and oriented to results.

Hi,
Recently I treated myself with a set of emonTX, emonBase and emonGLCD to monitor the energy consumption of my house, a nice new hobby. To program the emonTX / emonGLCD I bought the "USB to serial UART" with the CP2101 chipset.
Unfortunately I'm having trouble the USB>UART. Initially I figured it had to do with drivers since I used it on my Mac (which I recently bought, so I'm a newbie on that as well). But later in the process I did an astonishing discovery, when I bend the board in certain (...) directions the device IS detected!
I've checked and rechecked all connections, resoldered some of them but can't find the culprit. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Or should I order a new cable....?
For now I've lend another cable from a friend which enables me to program the devices. Only downside of this cable is the that the connector is on the board making it to thick to fit in the slim slot of the emonTX3 :-)

Re: USB>UART - Broken connections?
Oh dear that sound like a faulty board. Please contact us through the shop support channel and we will organise replacement
Re: USB>UART - Broken connections?
One question related to this issue:
I have an alternative USB>UART device however I am using properly and I am programming nicely my EmonTXv3.
http://www.amazon.com/CP2102-UART-6PIN-Serial-Converter/dp/B00CD264HG/re...
My problem is:
Is correctly printed EmonTXv3 PCB? I think the connection order is wrong.
If I plug USB>UART device with your programmer order (GROUND/3.3V/5V/TXD/RXD/RTS) everything is good but in PCB you can read (GROUND/ N.D./ 5V/RX/TX/RTS) Two questions:
TX = TXD? and RX =RXD?
and
Why do TX and RX are changed? I don't understand it.
See u guys....
Re: USB>UART - Broken connections?
I send images to explain it better.
Re: USB>UART - Broken connections?
The printing is correct. You transmit the data onto one end of the wire and you receive the data at the other end of the wire. Data is transmitted from the TX (or TXD) pin and received on the RX (or RXD) pin. Therefore you connect TX - RX and RX - TX.
If you go back to the days of dial-up modems, the serial connection was always like that, and the control lines were the same, so RTS (Request to Send) connected to CTS (Clear to Send) etc.
PS> Why don't you buy from the shop?
Re: USB>UART - Broken connections?
OK !!
I am soooooo noob nowadays.
Thanks a lot for the info.
I didn't buy because I had one before for my ARDUINO UNO and I knew how to use it, but I didn't know that.
I have bought hundreds of pounds in your devices this year, I am a very good client, Ask Glyn if you don't believe me. :-)
Thanks guys.

Each embedded system requires implementations of these functions but
the behavior of these functions varies depending on the context of the
embedded system. For example, some systems will implement exit() as
an infinite loop because the executable is designed to *never* exit.
| metaonly config ISystemSupport.common$ // module-wide |
|
Common module configuration parameters
DETAILS
All modules have this configuration parameter. Its name
contains the '$' character to ensure it does not conflict with
configuration parameters declared by the module. This allows
new configuration parameters to be added in the future without
any chance of breaking existing modules.
| ISystemSupport.abort() // module-wide |
|
Backend for System.abort()
ARGUMENTS
str
message to output just prior to aborting
If non-NULL, this string should be output just prior to
terminating.
DETAILS
This function is called by
System.abort() prior to calling
the ANSI C Standard library function
abort(). So, to ensure the
abort processing of the system's ANSI C Standard library completes,
this function should return to its caller.
| ISystemSupport.exit() // module-wide |
|
Backend for System.exit()
ARGUMENTS
stat
status value passed to all "atexit" handlers
This value is passed to all "atexit" handles bound via
System.atexit().
DETAILS
This function is called as part the normal "atexit" processing
performed by the ANSI C Standard Library's
exit() function;
System.exit() directly calls ANSI
exit().
This function is called after all "atexit" handlers bound via
System.atexit() are run and it
is always called while "inside" the the
System gate.
To ensure that all exit processing of the system's ANSI C
Standard Library completes, this function should return to its caller.
Exit handlers bound using the ANSI C Standard Library atexit()
function may run before or after this function.
SEE
| ISystemSupport.flush() // module-wide |
|
Backend for System.flush()
DETAILS
This function is simply called by
System_flush
to output any characters buffered by the underlying
SystemSupport
module to an output device.
| ISystemSupport.putch() // module-wide |
|
Backend for System.printf() and System.putch()
ARGUMENTS
ch
character to output
DETAILS
Output a single character. This function is called by
System_printf() to write each character
of formated output specified by its arguments.
| ISystemSupport.ready() // module-wide |
|
Test if character output can proceed
DETAILS
This function is called by
System prior to performing
any character output. If this function returns
FALSE, the
System
functions that would normally call
putch() simply return
(with an appropriate error status) without ever calling
putch.

Entity Resolution Service (ERS) v1.0.0
Service Specification
Summary
The ERS determines a match score for each pair-wise record attribute
provided to the service. The ERS creates a merged entity record based
on a pair-wise match threshold analysis of record attributes provided
to the service.
Description
The Entity Resolution
Service (ERS) resolves and correlates entities across multiple data
sources. Law enforcement support systems (e.g., federated
query
or link analysis applications) will use this service whenever they need
to determine (at some probability) whether two entities are the same
based on similair attributes within a record.
Note: The ERS service allows the user to specify which algorithm to use
for the match/merge functions.

A traveller by heart, learner by birth and programmer since a long. I am data-science enthusiast and love to work on neural nets. I like to explore all around and travelling has been my holiday interest. I am a fan of multiple sports: cricket, badminton, soccer, tennis, F1 (though I don't play all 😜).
It is due to my course-work, projects and internships, that I was familiarized with wide variety of computer science concepts. My work and experience is related to data science as well as software engineering involving web development and android development.
The decision to pursue MS was solely due to the fact that I wanted to dive deeper in the field of Data Science. My learning has been a combination of diverse set of courses in Data Science. It involves working with bayesian learning, Aritficial Intelligence, statistical modelling, big data, and their practical applications. Coursework:
My Bachelors' journey had been an uphill drive, I started low but came out strong and ended up satisfying myself of what I had aspired to be. I had earlier worked on with Android applications, for around 3 semesters. I got expertise in algorithms and data-bases. Then I was inspired very much by the recent advancements in the AI, so decided to try on with Machine Learning. From 6th to 8th Semester I chose various subjects related to Data Science:
An AWS hosted web-app that provides a platform to connect learners and educators. This app provides a one-place solution to the learning management, including, user auth, Googele auth, user verification, learning, grading, assignment submissions/download, customized theme, and chat.

View ProjectThis repo consists of all my work related to EAI course. It demonstrates various different application of search, abstraction and other algorithms. It has maze solver, 15-tile slider, 2048 AI game and decryption using metropolis hastings algorithm.
View ProjectThis project presents a detail comparative study of ML algorithms on California Housing data-set. Algorithms used: Linear Regression, Random Forrest, Ridge Regression, Neural Network and Gradient Boosting. The Gradient boosting performed best due to the fact that the features were mostly weak. So, using grid search and cross validation we were able to get the best parameters for our data-set.
View ProjectA demonstration of Segnet architecture based on CNN, to show image segmentation. The project was based on “Labelled Faces in the Wild” where the task is to segment the face away from rest of environment, reaching to an accuracy of around 90%.
View ProjectThis work was a part of Kaggle notebook that displays the complete understanding of Bayesian treatment in Naive Bayes Algorithm with K-Fold cross validation. It was performed on three different sentiment data-sets, from Amazon, Yelp and Imdb. The mean accuracy reached to over 80%. Both the maximum likelihood and MAP were compared to get an understanding of importance of MAP solution.
View ProjectThis project displays my hands on with Time-Series concept, my attempt to generate the inference in the data through Time Series Analysis. The work as a detailed analysis put up, while attempting various modifications. It displays extensive feature engineering and use of ARIMA model.
View ProjectThis project is an android based fruit classification app using Convolutional Neural Nets on “Fruits-360” data set. The model reached good accuracy of around 93%. I tried to use the trained model in the Andorid environment, but had faced difficulty in using Tensorflow in Android. So, I used open sourced server to run my model at.
View ProjectAndroid based application which connects passenger to their bus. This app is divided into two parts, one each for user and bus driver, similarly to what different cab services use. This application was created to smoothen the bus service which is used my many organizations all over the world.
View ProjectThis project is Android based Hospital management system, which was created for the use of LNMIIT doctors. The app has multiple functionalities, it can update the stock available using QR code, generate the report based on the day, list of stock on a particular day and report is sent directly sent to email of the user. The app was deployed on Firebase, and auth and db is maintained there. The app displays use of design patterns as well.

“The annotation layer is the most important thing we do” —Amanda Cox
swoopyDrag helps you hand place annotations on d3 graphics. It takes an array of objects representing annotations and turns them into lines and labels. Drag the text and control circles below to update the annotations array:
The x and y functions are called on each annotation to determine its position. In the annotations array here, the sepalWidth and sepalLength properties are the data values of point the annotation refers to. The functions passed to x and y look up these values and encode them as pixel position using the same scale set up to position the circles.
var swoopy = d3.swoopyDrag() .x(d => xScale(d.sepalWidth)) .y(d => yScale(d.sepalLength)) .draggable(true) .annotations(annotations)
Setting
The shape of each annotation's line is determined by the path property, the text by the text property and the position of the text by the testOffset property. Currently only straight paths (paths of the form
The annotations are added to the page just like
var swoopySel = svg.append('g').call(swoopy)
After posititioning the labels, open the dev tools, run
Since each annotation's position is determined primarily by scales, lines and labels will still point to the correct position when the chart size changes. As the chart shrinks though, the annotations might overlap or cover up data points. To show fewer or differently positioned labels on mobile, you could create multiple annotation arrays for different screen sizes:
d3.swoopyDrag() .annotations(innerWidth < 800 ? mobileAnnotations : desktopAnnotations)
Alternatively if there's just one or two problematic annotations that only work above or below some sizes, you could add
d3.swoopyDrag() .annotations(annotations.filter(function(d){ return (typeof(d.minWidth) == 'undefined' || innerWidth > d.minWidth) && (typeof(d.maxWidth) == 'undefined' || innerWidth < d.maxWidth) }))
SVG has native support for arrowheads, but they can be a little fiddly to get working. First, add a
svg.append('marker') .attr('id', 'arrow') .attr('viewBox', '-10 -10 20 20') .attr('markerWidth', 20) .attr('markerHeight', 20) .attr('orient', 'auto') .append('path') .attr('d', 'M-6.75,-6.75 L 0,0 L -6.75,6.75')
Next, select paths in each annotation and set their
swoopySel.selectAll('path').attr('marker-end', 'url(#arrow)')
Multiline text can be added with d3-jetpack. Select all of the
swoopySel.selectAll('text') .each(function(d){ d3.select(this) .text('') //clear existing text .tspans(d3.wordwrap(d.text, 20)) //wrap after 20 char })
On the page, annotations are made up of a
To customize the color of the text you could add a
swoopySel.selectAll('text').style('fill', d => d.textColor || '#000')
Or you could add a
swoopySel.selectAll('g').attr('class', d => d.class)
And emphasize them with css:
g.highlight text{ font-weight: 700; } g.highlight path{ stroke-width: 2; }

Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace * * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by George Lucas. Cast: Liam Neeson, Jake Lloyd, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Pernilla August, Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Park. Voices: Ahmed Best, Frank Oz, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker. 1999 - 131 minutes Rated PG (for mild violence). Reviewed May 20, 1999.
"Star Wars" fans across the nation have been waiting sixteen years for the promised prequels to the most popular series in motion picture history. The original trilogy somehow captured viewers' imaginations like no other movie possibly could, taking them on a wild ride through never-before-seen places and meeting unforgettable characters and creatures. The most die-hard fanatics have been sitting outside the Mann's Chinese Theater in L.A. for over a month, simply to be the first in line to see director-creator George Lucas' latest opus. On Wednesday, May 12, advance tickets went on sale at 3:00 p.m., and I was instantly in amazement, arriving at the theater almost two hours before the tickets were to be sold, to see a line going all the way around the building. Many people were said to have camped out overnight (and this is in the small town of Frederick, MD!), and the two guys next to me in line both said that they had called off work on that day. Ultimately, I waited three hours to get tickets to the 7:30 nighttime showing on "May 19," a date that will probably be forever ingrained in some peoples' minds. Expectations were so high for the film, with many nearly treating the impending release as "The Second Coming." On the other hand, I have never been that big of a fan of "Star Wars." I like them, and in the case of 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back," I nearly loved it, but I am far from a crazed devotee. I couldn't, however, pass up going to see this "Event" on the day it opened.
The film in question is, obviously, "Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace," set many years before the goings-on in the original trilogy, Episodes IV, V, and VI. Going in, I chose to not have any sort of expectations (although they admittedly were kind of low), but to simply hope the film would do its job in amazing and exciting me. Early critical reviews have not been very kind, but there have been a slew of overwhelmingly positive ones, including Roger Ebert and Janet Maslin (of "The New York Times"). And so, without any certain presumptions, the final word on "The Phantom Menace" is that it is perhaps the most visually astounding motion picture I have ever seen, far more stimulating than the previous "Star Wars" movies, due to such extravagant technological visual effects advancements since the late-'70s/early-'80s. Unfortunately, those movies by-and-large had one vital element that this movie is sorely lacking, and that is any sort of character involvement. While Han Solo, Lucas Skywalker, and Princess Leia were likable characters with distinct personalities, "The Phantom Menace" holds no such close scrutiny. But then again, that leads to another predicament, which is that this film is only the first in a planned prequel trilogy, meaning that many of the characters will, no doubt, be further explored and development in the later installments, currently due out in theaters in 2002 and 2005. Problems abound in "The Phantom Menace," many more than there needed to be, but George Lucas truthfully had an overwhelming amount of elements to handle here, as he had to do the most difficult thing so far in the series, and that is to start it with the first vital chapter in the "Star Wars" legacy. You would be out of your league to say Lucas succeeded on every level, but he did do a respectable job, and treated me to extraordinary images that are worth the price of admission alone.
"Episode 1" begins as The Trade Federation are preparing an attack on the planet of Naboo, headed by the 14-year-old Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), whose life is in jeopardy. After a narrow escape from the Federation, who turn out to be more twisted and corrupt than expected, two Jedi Knights, the no-nonsense, scruffy Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), set off for Naboo to rescue the Queen and take her to Tatooine, a planet of safety. When their spacecraft breaks down, they venture out into a small desert town where they come into contact with two slaves, Shmi Skywalker (Pernilla August) and her 9-year-old son, Anakin (Jack Lloyd). Sensing the Force is with Anakin, and that he is destined to become a powerful Jedi, he hesitantly leaves behind his mother to join Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, promising to return and set her free one day from a slave life.
Since "The Phantom Menace" has the tiresome task of setting up everything to come later on, the villains come off more as an afterthought. The main one, I suppose, is Darth Maul (Ray Park), a fiendish sith with red-and-black face makeup, but he is literally given about four scenes and three lines of dialogue. How are we supposed to feel negatively towards Maul when we don't really even know who he is, and we never actually see him do any bad things, save for the inevitable climactic lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and himself? Villains probably aren't the point in this installment, though, and since they are so uninvolving and slight, it doesn't come off as a major problem.
 Neeson and McGregor are the centerpiece of the film, but we learn almost nothing about them, and they recite their lines without any feeling, as if their hearts weren't really into it. Maybe it is not the actors' faults, since they are so thinly written. At any rate, I'm sure McGregor felt especially out of place since he is a real actor, and probably not used to being what is essentially a background prop who stands there like a good boy and rarely says anything. Jake Lloyd, as young Anakin Skywalker, later to become Darth Vader, is an unctuous child actor if I ever saw one, with almost nary a line of dialogue that he is able to pull off. Surely, Lucas could have found a stronger, more assured actor to fit the bill of what is the most vital character in the film, as Lloyd is annoying and seemingly always aware that he is "in" a movie. Out of the four central roles, Natalie Portman easily fares best, but did you expect anything less of her? At 17-years-old, she is already a near-veteran, popping onto the scene in 1994 with her heartbreaking performance in "The Professional," and carrying it over to what was a performance snubbed of an Oscar nomination, in 1996's "Beautiful Girls." Portman knows how to make a scene work, even when the material isn't up to her level, and it will be intriguing to follow her character's development in Episodes II and III. Pernilla August, a Swedish actress in her first American film, is touching as Anakin's solemn, caring mother, and in each of her scenes she gives Neeson and Lloyd a run for their acting money. Also making brief appearances are Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) and Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson), who sense an underlying uneasiness within Anakin, as well as friendly androids, R2-D2 (voiced by Kenny Baker) and an unfinished C-3P0 (voiced by Anthony Daniels). Brought to life as "Star Wars"'s first-ever major character that is completely computer-generated is the amphibious Jar Jar Binks (voiced by Ahmed Best) who, judging from his thick accent, must have been born and raised in the outskirts of Jamaica. Much talk has been raised about how Jar Jar is an annoying, kid-friendly addition to the film, and although he is probably more targeted for the children in the audience, I actually did like him, and his goofy, lovable nature. He is integrated seamlessly into each frame, never really looking like a special effect, and gives a better performance overall than any of the humans do.
If the characters are lacking depth and three dimensions, no one can accuse "Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace" of not being original and often awe-inspiring. The landscapes and marvelous city vistas are never anything less than powerful, majestic, and sumptuous, picture-perfect images that I could stare at for hours on end. Words really can't describe the visual experience of "The Phantom Menace," but every frame in the 131-minute movie is gorgeous to look at. Some images I will never forget include: the atmospheric, dreamy overhead views of the city skyscrapers in the planet, Coruscant; the endless green fields in Naboo where a climactic war is held; the Queen's kingdom, which is surrounded by curved, bubble-like buildings, as well as a crystal-clear waterfall leading into a river; and an underwater city in Naboo, populated by fish, giant water creatures, and Jar Jar Binks' own race of giant, floopy-eared pseudo-hares. "The Phantom Menace" is such an optical triumph that, like "Terminator 2"'s liquid-metal and "Jurassic Park"'s dinosaurs, stands as a new turning point in visual effects artistry, this time proving that every frame can look completely believable, as if no effects were even actually used. If I didn't know better, I'd say that Naboo, Tatooine, and the underwater city were actual places that exist.
"The Phantom Menace," although more dialogue-oriented than action-inclined, as in 1977's "Star Wars," nonetheless includes some startling setpieces, including an exciting, superbly-crafted pod race that Anakin enters in with a pod he has made himself. Soaring through rock passageways and down cliffs, this sequence is the first true sign that we are back in "Star Wars" territory, and it is further carried out in the climax, which intercuts between three separate action storylines, including a war in the fields of Naboo between an army of robots from the Confederation and the amphibious Naboo residents; a fight to the death between Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan Kenobi; and the weak link, due to the corny, throwaway one-liners and weak acting by Lloyd, a space battle between Anakin and enemy troops.
Flawed as it is, "Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace" captured my imagination and I enjoyed it. With a more tightly-written screenplay and characters, George Lucas would have really had something, but just as with "Episode IV," you have to look at the movie as a jumping-off point for the two later films, which most likely will be better on the story and, hopefully, on the performance levels. Going into "The Phantom Menace," I wasn't actually a "Star Wars" fan, but coming out I wanted more; I wanted to see what was going to happen next. "Episode II" may be three years away, but I'm already highly anticipating it, and the imperfections of "Episode I" have only sparked my interest even more since, like "The Empire Strikes Back," it is sure to be superior.

[ Mumbling to myself: Great humans are about as wrong as lay humans, but at least they are wrong about important things. ]WIRED quoting Leonard Adleman:
" "Sciences reach a point where they become mathematized," he [Adleman] says, coining a new phrase. This process begins at the fringes, but, at some point, the central issues in the field become sufficiently understood that they can be thought about mathematically."Let me play with this sentence: "The development of Mathematics reaches a point where it can be applied to a new set of scientific disciplines", says Chislenko... This process begins at the fringes of the science, but, at some point, the mathematical methods become sufficiently developed to offer valuable abstractions for the central issues of the field."
Math that was so successfully used during the Renaissance looked nothing like the math that the modern sciences "grew up for".
The above passages seem about equally lop-sided.
How about this: The fringe of the human thought (or the skin of the global body of knowledge growing up in [my favorite metaphor of] semantic space) consists of raw observations, phenomenological generalizations and ad-hoc theories not yet extracting the functional essence of the subject from the heap of details. After a while, the body of knowledge digests the new field, makes the necessary distinctions and builds clean abstract theories (a.k.a. math).
When an instance of a new structural entity gets uncovered for the first time, we may claim that we developed a new branch of math (that's "math catching up"); when existing abstract instruments are found to be useful for another subject field, we may claim that "The field ripened to allow formal theory". For the whole process it really doesn't matter whether we developed a theory for one subject, and then figured out that the same theory is applicable to another subject, or it was the other way round. The important thing is that the knowledge organisms keeps expanding and digesting/formalizing its model of the world.
"As biology joins the ranks of other hard sciences, a tantalizing prospect opens up for Adleman. After going through an age of specialization, the sciences are now reuniting into a common mode of inquiry. "The next generation could produce a scientist in the old sense," he says, "a real generalist, who could learn the physics, chemistry, and biology, and be able to contribute to all three disciplines at once."I would claim that the opposite suggestion may better reflect the truth. From the distance at which the scientific approach looks like "a common mode", you can hardly see any particular discipline. Of course, there are some instruments (like calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics) that are applicable to lots of different things. However, there have always been generic instruments: you can use numbers and rulers to measure both animals and houses. Now, not only the shared theoretical toolkit seems [relatively!] shrinking -- even formalisms used within one discipline diverge to the extent that, for example, the best expertise in DNA modeling gives you little insight into neural nets or population dynamics.
The diversity of knowledge is definitely running ahead of generalization...

9.3 String FormattingIn Python, a string-formatting expression has the syntax: format % values where format is a plain or Unicode string containing format specifiers and values is any single object or a collection of objects in a tuple or dictionary. Python's string-formatting operator has roughly the same set of features as the C language's printf and operates in a similar way. Each format specifier is a substring of format that starts with a percent sign (%) and ends with one of the conversion characters shown in Table 9-1.
Between the % and the conversion character, you can specify a number of optional modifiers, as we'll discuss shortly. The result of a formatting expression is a string that is a copy of format where each format specifier is replaced by the corresponding item of values converted to a string according to the specifier. Here are some simple examples: x = 42 y = 3.14 z = "george" print 'result = %d' % x # prints: result = 42 print 'answers are: %d %f' % (x,y) # prints: answers are: 42 3.14 print 'hello %s' % z # prints: hello george 9.3.1 Format Specifier SyntaxA format specifier can include numerous modifiers that control how the corresponding item in values is converted to a string. The components of a format specifier, in order, are:
Item names must be given either in all format specifiers in format or in none of them. When item names are present, values must be a mapping (often the dictionary of a namespace, e.g., vars( )), and each item name is a key in values. In other words, each format specifier corresponds to the item in values keyed by the specifier's item name. When item names are present, you cannot use * in any format specifier. When item names are absent, values must be a tuple; when there is just one item, values may be the item itself instead of a tuple. Each format specifier corresponds to an item in values by position, and values must have exactly as many items as format has specifiers (plus one extra for each width or precision given by *). When the width or precision component of a specifier is given by *, the * consumes one item in values, which must be an integer and is taken as the number of characters to use as minimum width or precision of the conversion. 9.3.2 Common String-Formatting IdiomsIt is quite common for format to contain several occurrences of %s and for values to be a tuple with exactly as many items as format has occurrences of %s. The result is a copy of format where each %s is replaced with str applied to the corresponding item of values. For example: '%s+%s is %s'%(23,45,68) # results in: '23+45 is 68' You can think of %s as a fast and concise way to put together a few values, converted to string form, into a larger string. For example: oneway = 'x' + str(j) + 'y' + str(j) + 'z' another = 'x%sy%sz' % (j, j) After this code is executed, variables oneway and another will always be equal, but the computation of another, done via string formatting, is measurably faster. Which way is clearer and simpler is a matter of habit: get used to the string-formatting idiom, and it will come to look simpler and clearer. Apart from %s, other reasonably common format specifiers are those used to format floating-point values: %f for decimal formatting, %e for exponential formatting, and %g for either decimal or exponential formatting, depending on the number's magnitude. When formatting floating-point values, you normally specify width and/or precision modifiers. A width modifier is a number right after the % that gives the minimum width for the resulting conversion; you generally use a width modifier if you're formatting a table for display in a fixed-width font. A precision modifier is a number following a dot (.) right before the conversion type letter; you generally use a precision modifier in order to fix the number of decimal digits displayed for a number, to avoid giving a misleading impression of excessive precision and wasting display space. For example: '%.2f'%(1/3.0) # results in: '0.33' '%s'%(1/3.0) # results in: '0.333333333333' With %s, you cannot specify how many digits to display after the decimal point. It is important to avoid giving a mistaken impression of very high precision when you know that your numeric results are only accurate to a few digits. Displaying high precision values might mislead people examining those results into believing the results are much more accurate than is in fact the case. |

Binary Search, Firewall and Bed Bugs
1 Arrival
It is mid of 2020 and we are living in extraordinary times due to COVID-19. I haven't left my apartment except for groceries since early March. And just when one might think that nothing more remarkable than a pandemic can happen, sometime during end of March I started seeing some red bumps on my toes.  There was no way of getting infected during a lockdown. I've experienced bed bugs before while I was a grad student and I had bought a piece of used furniture. We had to go through three rounds of pest control for complete extermination and we were locked out of the apartment for the complete day each of the three times. Since this time there was no exchange of furniture, luggage or people in the apartment, there was no way for those little demons to infect my apartment. So I decided to go Ostrich - stick my head in the sand and pretend there is no problem, until…the next morning.
1.2 Detection
The next morning the number of red bumps on my toes increased and had started itching. If this was indeed bed bug infestation, I had to react and do it fast since just like an exponential graph things could go out of hand in just few steps.
The first step was to determine if this was really a bite and not an allergic reaction or something else. So that night I slept with body fitted full sleeves clothes and with socks on, leaving just my face and hands exposed. The next morning unsurprisingly and to my disappointment I saw similar red bumps in between my fingers. Although I had a sense of doom that next few weeks of my life are not going to be easy, I also had some excitement - I could control their behavior! I could change a input in the function to change the output! I wondered if I sleep that night exposing both hands and feet, would the insects go back biting the feet or their last successful attack ground - hands.
So these were insect bites and not allergy or rashes. The bites looked similar to bed bug bites but to be sure I had to catch one the insect red handed (no pun indented 😢), or detect some other signs such as poop stains.
2 War
It's the beginning of April, COVID-19 stay at home order is in effect, I think my apartment has got non zero number of bed bug(s), do I invite a stranger at home for pest control (and potentially be kicked out of the apartment for 8 hours) or live with bed bugs1 (with no social distancing). I decided to play safe with the COVID-19 virus and declared war on the bugs.
Once you accept the problem it is much easier to fight it. I had a feeling that the bugs were not so invincible as I had thought them to be. Maybe I don't need to nuke the complete apartment for this early infestation2.
I did a quick online search and found that washing clothes with high heat will kill the bugs. I dumped everything -pillow covers, bed sheet, blankets- in the washing machine and washed on "Hot" water settings. After drying them (again, on high heat), I folded them nicely and kept them away because I decided to sleep on the couch for few days. My plan was to stay away from the bed, starve the bugs to death and then return. This was me being an Ostrich again - run 12 feet away and again stick my head in the sand.
It did not work. The next morning I woke up with itching spots on my chest - sh*t just got real.
2.1 Know your Enemy
The first step was to know everything about Bed bugs. It seems tackling bed bugs is no less popular than some sport. There are pages and pages of online articles, Youtube videos, blogs and websites. I found Wikipedia, CDC FAQs and EPA article to be most concise. Bed bugs are neural network with reward function linked to sucking human blood and are equipped with:
- CO₂ sensor - to detect Carbon Dioxide released from breathing to locate a human
- Pheromone sensor - to follow a path marked by other bugs
- and maybe a light sensor - to detect darkness
Apart from this:
- They will readily travel 5-20 feet from their shelter to feed - this explains the shameful loss of the first battle of the couch.
- they can survive without food for several months.
I know this is nowhere to complete and mostly an incorrect description of a bed bug. But this is good enough for applying our algorithms.
2.2 Options
From all of the articles heat seemed to be the most lethal weapon against the bugs. But we need to apply heat directly to the bugs and for that we need to find their hiding spot(s). Another interesting solution mentioned in several users' post on Reddit, was DE.
2.2.1 Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous Earth or DE is powder made out of a naturally occurring rock. Here's a line from Wikipedia that's interesting to us with respect to bed bugs:
The fine powder adsorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of the exoskeletons of\ many species of insects; this layer acts as a barrier that resists the loss of water\ vapour from the insect's body. Damaging the layer increases the evaporation of water\ from their bodies, so that they dehydrate, often fatally.

Guide: Pokémon GO Community Days - All 2019 Event Times, November's Featured Pokémon Chimchar and All Bonuses
How to get the most out of Pokémon GO’s monthly Community Day events (November 2019 edition)
by Stephanie WoorMonthly Community Days are the main pillar of the Pokémon GO calendar: every month, for three hours on a Saturday or Sunday, a featured collectable monster is set loose in greater numbers than usual. With a selection of great perks – increased shiny rates, exclusive moves and other boosts – it’s an excellent opportunity to get out in numbers, meet other players and work on completing your Pokédex.
In this regularly updated guide, we’ll let you know when to catch the next Community Day, as well as what to expect and how to prepare.
On this page:
- Latest Community Day Information: Saturday 16th November 2019 – Chimchar Community Day
- Dates Of All Remaining 2019 Pokémon GO Community Days Announced
- When Do Pokémon GO Community Days Usually Take Place?
- How Can I Prepare for Pokémon GO Community Day
- Previous Pokémon GO Community Days – List of Pokémon and Event Exclusive Moves from Past Community Days
Latest Community Day Information: Saturday 16th November 2019 – Chimchar Community Day
- The next Pokémon GO Community Day will be held on Saturday 16th November 2019 at 11am - 2pm in your local time-zone
- The featured Pokémon is the generation four fire-type starter Chimchar
- It will be possible to gain an event exclusive move (Blast Burn) by evolving Chimchar's second stage evolution (Monferno), into its final evolution (Infernape)
- As always, the Pokémon will be available in Shiny form, and Lures used during the event will last for 3 hours
- An additional perk - eggs will hatch four times faster
Dates Of All Remaining 2019 Pokémon GO Community Days Announced
Unusually, Niantic have announced the dates of the final Community Days for 2019, although the featured Pokémon are yet to be revealed:
- Saturday November 16 from 11:00am - 2:00pm local time
- Saturday and Sunday December 14–15 from 11:00am - 2:00pm local time both days
When Do Pokémon GO Community Days Usually Take Place?
Community Days are always held on a Saturday or Sunday every month and last for 3 hours, typically held from 11am to 2pm or 4pm to 7pm in your local timezone.
Unfortunately, there is no sure-fire way of predicting exactly when the next Pokémon GO community day will fall. Looking back at past dates, we can say that community days are:
- More commonly held on a Saturday rather than a Sunday
- More commonly held in the second or third weekend of the month
However, Niantic appears to schedule the event to both avoid and complement other events in their calendar. Expect Community Days to be announced anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the event.
What Can I Expect from Pokémon GO Community Days?
A Significant Increase in Spawns for the Featured Pokémon
Featured Pokémon are typically among the more powerful, popular and rare in the game – in a single Community Day hour, you can expect to see many months’ worth of spawns for the featured Pokémon. Stick around for all three hours and you should be able to fully evolve several of the Pokémon in question.
Increased Odds of Encountering a Shiny Version of the Featured Pokémon
Driving fans mad with anticipation and frustration in equal measure, the featured Pokémon is a lot more likely to be shiny when it spawns during Community Day. In the wider context of the Pokémon series, GO actually presents one of the most time-efficient and least tedious ways of catching Shiny Pokémon. Lucky players can net several shiny versions during the event – but there’s always the chance that you’ll come away empty handed.
One key piece of advice for newcomers – Shiny Pokémon do not appear Shiny on the Pokémon GO map. You have to tap on them and enter catching mode to see if they are shiny or not.
Event Exclusive Moves for Featured Pokémon Evolutions
During the event (and for one hour after), the featured Pokémon will receive a unique attack if evolved into its final evolution. Note that the Fast/Charged TM item will not give you the attack. Event exclusive moves are generally announced a few days before Community Day.
Increased Lure Duration
Every Community Day to date has featured an extension of the timeout on Lures to 3 hours. Stick one on a Pokéstop and everyone who passes by can benefit from an increase in Pokémon spawns.
Hatching, XP or Stardust Boosts
Niantic adds one last perk (from the following list) into the Community Day package:
- A 3x increase for XP gained from catching a Pokémon, or
- A 3x increase fo Stardust gained from catching a Pokémon, or
- A 4x increase for Egg hatching speed
These perks stack with rate increasing items – So consider stocking up Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces and Super Incubators, to further boost their respective perks.
Community Day Box Available in Shop
Niantic offers a Community Day Box for 480 Pokécoins in the shop. This usually contains 30 Ultra balls and some combination of Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, Lure Modules and Egg Incubators.
Themed Field Research
Pokéstops will dispense field research tasks and rewards themed around the featured Pokémon.
How Can I Prepare for Pokémon GO Community Day
Assuming the headlining monster is one you’re interested in, it’s a good idea to start stockpiling useful items a week or two ahead of Community Day. You should get:
-
Enough Pokéballs and Pinap Berries to catch and evolve your Pokémon, (or as many Pokémon as you want to have):
- At bare minimum you need 32 Pokéballs (or 18 Pokéballs and 18 Pinap Berries) to catch and evolve a single three-stage Pokémon from scratch (assuming you never miss and ‘transfer’ all but one Pokémon to Professor Willow)
- Obviously, we recommend going into Community Day with two to three times the above numbers to be safe – and watch out for featured Pokémon with higher candy requirements/split evolutions
- Keep some Ultra Balls and Razz Berries (preferably Silver/Gold) in reserve for any hard to catch Shinies
- Lures – the 3 hour duration perk means Community Days are great time for trying the 200 PokéCoin Glacial, Mossy and Magnetic Lures (they lure different Pokémon and will allow you to obtain Glaceon/Leafeon/Probopass and Magnezone)
- Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces and Super Incubators – Their effects stack with whichever of the XP, Stardust and Egg hatching perks Niantic has planned for the event

These talks reminded me of https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10258
This book introduces a temporal type theory, the first of its kind as far as we know. It is based on a standard core, and as such it can be formalized in a proof assistant such as Coq or Lean by adding a number of axioms.
Nice! Thanks!
