Nico Rosberg admits his dad laughed at him for backing Formula E - but has won him over
EXCLUSIVE: Former F1 world champion talks about the growth of electric racing as part of the Daily Mirror's special climate issue
by Aaron Flanagan, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/aaron-flanagan/Nico Rosberg says his dad laughed at him when he told him he was investing in Formula E.
But ahead of the sixth season of the series, which kicks off next week, he says that Keke, the 1982 F1 world champion, now can’t stop watching.
Rosberg turned his attention to electric racing after winning the F1 title himself in 2016, as part of his passion for securing a sustainable future.
The ever-growing Formula E series is one of a host of investments he has made in green living - and he now believes it is behind only F1 in world motorsport.
But despite his belief in its potential, he says its biggest critique came from his own home.
“My father is a complete petrolhead and in the beginning he was laughing at me,” Rosberg said.
“He was like ‘why are you interested in Formula E? Why are you looking at that?’
“Even when I was investing in it, he told me, ‘are you crazy?’ He was laughing at me.
“But one year ago, I caught my dad setting alarm clocks for the time when Formula E starts!
“He watches all the races and has become a fan of the sport as well.
“For me, that is the best barometer, because even the petrolheads love the racing of Formula E and watch it.”
 He has made subtle changes to the way he goes about every day, from buying an electric car for commuting in his home of Monaco, right down to the finer details of not having plastic bottles or straws in the house.
Rosberg is also founder of the Greentech festival, which debuted in Berlin earlier this year, celebrating all kinds of eco-technology achievements.
While he is doing his bit personally, he says Formula E is helping drive the change in a larger picture.
“What I find so awesome about Formula E is the race to road technology transfer,” he said.
“They are developing the electric motors in Formula E that we will all have in our electric cars in two or three years time, or many of the electric components that we have in Formula E.
“That for me is really awesome, as it serves a real purpose to accelerate the smarter technology transition.”
Season six of Formula E kicks off in Saudi Arabia next week, with Mercedes and Porsche joining the most competitive grid in motorsport. Last season, eight different drivers from seven different teams came out on top in the first eight races of the season.
This year, it is the first time in history all four major German manufacturers - with Mercedes and Porsche joining BMW and Audi - compete alongside each other in a series.
“These guys are global players,” Rosberg said. “Nobody can afford to come second, because it is like anti-marketing. Everybody has to win, so to see them all go head-to-head really is epic.
“In terms of motorsport, it has become the second biggest in the world. After Formula One, I think people watch Formula E.
“It is a whole bunch of Formula One drivers that are on the grid now, so the level is really, really high.
“I don’t see Formula E and Formula One in competition. Formula One remains the pinnacle of motorsport and forever will, it is like the gladiator, high-performance series.
“That is going to remain the case, but I am a big fan of both.”
But could we see Rosberg step out of retirement and join the Formula E series in years to come?
“No, no, no, no, no, no. I’m out,” he chuckles. “No more.”
- Experience the thrill of electric racing at Formula E’s season finale on the 25th and 26th July 2020 at ExCel London. Tickets on sale from 1pm on Friday at www.FIAFormulaE.com/london
- Every race of the 2019/20 Formula E season will be shown on the BBC iPlayer, Red Button and on the BBC Sport website - with races in Rome and Marrakesh on live terrestrial TV.


Describe how your culture has influenced your values and identity.
Evaluate your strengths and limitations in terms of your learning and career development.
Identify which of your strengths might help you in your learning journey and how they might intersect with learning obstacles.
I am generally a fast learner. I tend to prefer teaching myself and watching someone who is more experienced but I appreciate teachers in providing a learning structure and accountability. We are the most fortunate generation that has ever lived and you can learn almost anything using the internet. A few skills I have learnt using the internet include training and breaking in horses, video editing, playing guitar and producing electronic music. As technology progresses, the entry level of many skills decreases. This makes it easier than ever to learn and gain competence in a skill but also means there is more competition.
I replaced limitations with difficulties as limitations imply that you cannot improve in this area, difficulties can develop into strengths if you work hard enough and put in the time.
I struggle sometimes with focus. Not on the micro-level but on the macro-level. I can focus on individual tasks but sometimes I lose direction for the bigger picture. Being self-driven and self-employed, you can sometimes find yourself just doing what you like, rather than what should be done. I also often obsess over details which is incredibly fustrating sometimes.
Share an example from your experience of where you were trying to work productively with others, but there was resistance or tension.
Discuss the strategies you used at that time, how effective they were, and your reflections on what other strategies you would try now, and why.
Everyone is different and has strengths and weaknesses. I believe you should play your strengths and work on your weaknesses in your spare time or on individual tasks.
Every circumstance is different in a working environment but the best method of reducing tension is through clear communication. Making sure everyone is in agreement at various stages through a task will help with group dynamics significantly. Managing expectations early on is a way to benchmark progress and reach mutual agreement.
For example, in software development, establishing early references for the UI, UX and functionality provides a benchmark. This can be revisited at various stages in the project to ensure that quality is adequate.
I can sometimes find it difficult to give responsibility to partners or employees if they are not reaching my expectations. I don't mind if they are willing to learn and try depending on the time or place. I think everyone should be open to improvement and be looking for a way to improve their workflow. Working with people who are not familiar with a workflow can be difficult (e.g. working with non-technical people). Often it is better for each person to work in their area of strength, while outside of the task, they work on their weaknesses without pressure. This also how I prefer to be treated.

SCP
Section: User Commands (1)Index Return to Main Contents
BSD mandoc
NAME
scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)SYNOPSIS
scp -words [-1246BCpqrv ] [-c cipher ] [-F ssh_config ] [-i identity_file ] [-l limit ] [-o ssh_option ] [-P port ] [-S program ] [[user @ ] host1 : file1 ] ... [[user @ ] host2 : file2 ]DESCRIPTION
scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh(1). Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Local file names can be made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file names containing `:' as host specifiers. Copies between two remote hosts are also permitted.
When copying a source file to a target file which already exists, scp will replace the contents of the target file (keeping the inode).
If the target file does not yet exist, an empty file with the target file name is created, then filled with the source file contents. No attempt is made at "near-atomic" transfer using temporary files.
The options are as follows:
- -1
- Forces scp to use protocol 1.
- -2
- Forces scp to use protocol 2.
- -4
- Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
- -6
- Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
- -B
- Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
- -C
- Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable compression.
- -c cipher
- Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
- -F ssh_config
- Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
- -i identity_file
- Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
- -l limit
- Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
- -o ssh_option
-
Can be used to pass options to
ssh
in the format used in
ssh_config5.
This is useful for specifying options
for which there is no separate
scp
command-line flag.
For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see

- StrictHostKeyChecking
- TCPKeepAlive
- UsePrivilegedPort
- User
- UserKnownHostsFile
- VerifyHostKeyDNS
- -P port
- Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that this option is written with a capital `P' because -p is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in rcp(1).
- -p
- Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
- -q
- Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
- -r
- Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
- -S program
- Name of program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.
- -v
- Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
IPV6
IPv6 address can be used everywhere where IPv4 address. In all entries must be the IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets. Note: The square brackets are metacharacters for the shell and must be escaped in shell.SEE ALSO

Element is a CSS design / framework that only requires simple HTML
elements for building a site. In contrast to most design frameworks that use a lot of nested

elements and inline classes, Element does away with that,
making it quicker and easier to create decent-looking static web sites from
scratch that are easy to edit and manage with just a text editor.
Think of it as a "Markdown for HTML", or "saner defaults for HTML elements".
This project is still in it's early stages. If you have any ideas or improvements, please feel free to chime in.
Inspired by ungrid, Element CSS wires up custom element <g-row>
to be a row
and <g-col>
to be a column. It's an easy, auto-sized, responsive grid that Just Works, and supports the upcoming HTML5 custom elements spec.
I've had twelve years to think about it. And if I had it to do over again, I would have grabbed the phaser and pointed it at you instead of them.
I'm the first column!
I'm the second column!
I'm grid 3, but a lot smaller than the others.
Oversized images are auto-resized to fit the column:
Oversized images are auto-resized to fit the column:
| Name | Instrument |
|---|---|
| Data | Violin |
| Riker | Trombone |
| Name | Instrument |
|---|---|
| Data | Violin |
| Riker | Trombone |

elements used in a

will be inline-block: echo('hello world!')
. Code tags
outside of a

will be blocks, with code indenting automatically fixed (no

indenting gymnastics needed).
const user = {
name: 'Commander Riker',
username: 'hotjazzhotternights1337'
}
console.log(user.name)
If you need to embed HTML code examples, you can use the <xmp>
tag, which makes it so you don't need to encode escapes.
Sadly, the HTML5 spec is trying to obsolete the <xmp>
tag even though it's the only way to make this work,
but all browsers seem to be supporting it anyways. Use at your own risk.
If you want syntax highlighting, just embed highlight.js and the highlighting style you want and it's automatically configured.
Use this template to get started:
Okay, you're all set!
If you want to use code syntax highlighting, use this:
Okay, you're all set!


Rotation 4: Laser and Vinyl Cutter
Project Description:
For this rotation, we learned the difference between raster and vectors. To raster means to etch the design on the cardboard or material you are using, vector is to cut through the material to make the design. First, using the MakerCase download I cut out a small box made of cardboard with designs that described me on each face of the box. I used CorelDraw to make the file and printing it with the laser cutter was easy. I took the six pieces of the box home and glued them together.
Next, I created three different shapes on CorelDraw with cut outs on them so that when put together, they fit snuggly to make a structure. I drew a few rectangles on each shape for the spot that would be cut out at as a slit for placing the different shapes together. The first time I printed the shapes, the slit was too small so I had to fix the file by making the slits bigger and reprint the shapes out. When I did that, the shapes finally fit together! The first picture shows the original shape cut outs that did not work, but the second picture shows the shapes that did fit together.
After those two, we were given four different tasks and had to pick two to complete. I chose to do the rastered design on a cork coaster. I copied an image of a flower onto CorelDraw and wrote my name with in the flower as well. It was hard to center the design in the middle of the coaster, but it still looks very cool.
The second assignment I chose was making a living hinge. I downloaded a living hinge design off a website and created three pieces that could be put together after being printed. When I printed the hinge out, it did not work out very well. It looked okay, but was a struggle to get the full design off the rest of the cardboard that I used to cut. Then, the hinge started breaking and did not look as well as I hoped.


minecart with hopper
Description
A Minecart with Hopper is a hopper inside a minecart. Minecarts with hoppers can be
broken by attacking them. These minecarts are placed similarly to other minecarts. A
Minecart with hopper will take in items which are lying nearby (range only slightly
larger than the cart itself), or inside a container above the track
(aprox. 18.5 items per second). It will also pick up items that are lying on a block
directly above the track. It will not push items into containers, but a hopper underneath
the track can take items out of it. The hopper can be disabled by passing over a powered
activator rail, and can be reenabled by an inactive activator rail.

Which server technology/framework should you choose to build your next minimum viable product?
When I started out to build MediaNearby, I spent almost 8-10 weeks evaluating the best-fit technology to build a minimum viable solution. My learning? When you start out, have just one criteria - whatever lets you build the core functionality with minimum amount of time. Evaluating for scalability, flexibility, etc is a waste of time. I am documenting my experience so developers with similar background and problem set find this helpful. I am assuming that the front-end technology used would be HTML5 and Javascript.
I have spent close to 7 years developing java based applications. Hence I am naturally comfortable with this programming language. My requirement was to develop scalable search and cataloging and I did not want to build something from scratch if robust libraries were already available. I wanted to deploy the system on a cloud service provider like Amazon EC2 or Google.
The problem with being a “techie” is when you evaluate a technology you want to dabble around with cool new technologies for as long as possible. Learning a new language is as exciting as buying the next cool gadget. Without a clear objective/criteria one ends up wasting time instead of making progress.
I started evaluating technologies to build the server side logic around early 2010 . The most popular web 2.0 frameworks were Ruby on Rails and Lift-Scala (Twitter had rewritten their servers in Scala, FourSquare is on Lift-Scala). Node.js was just becoming popular. I briefly looked into Grails as well.
I spent some time to learn Ruby and Rails trying to understand new constructs like closures, convention over configuration, scaffolding, and so on. One of the challenges with Rails was that the concepts around packaging were very different compared to Java and I could never get my head around how “gem install” worked. The other issue with Rails at that time was that it was not easily portable across cloud platforms. Google appengine did not support Ruby and one had to use a JVM (jRuby) to run Rails. jRuby was always a step behind Ruby versions and that did not help. Rails also required one to build C based modules for frameworks like jRuby for which the base modules were not available.
It soon became apparent that java was a popular ecosystem supported by cloud environments and running a framework based on Java would make life easy. The popular JVM based script languages were Scala and Groovy because of availability of Lift and Grails frameworks respectively. Lift and Scala was being used by Twitter and provided a high-performance ecosystem. So I decided to try out Scala next. Scala as a programming language is easy to understand once you learn Ruby as it has similar constructs. The big challenge was understanding Lift. For someone who has an MVC background, understanding the “build view first” and then the rest architecture was extremely difficult to understand. Also, the documentation for Lift mostly focussed on ‘Chat’ kind of applications that fit well into the Comet based architecture. Though I gained understanding of how Lift works later, at that time it was a no-go.
The next natural selection was Groovy and Grails. When I dug deeper into Groovy I was surprised to find how well it integrates with the Java language and also makes use of enterprise grade technologies like Spring and Hibernate under the hood. The big bonus was the ability to use any opensource or commercial libraries that have been developed over the last 15 years. Also the plugin based architecture of Grails made the framework quite extensible and was helping to build an active ecosystem around this framework. SpringSource endorsement of the framework and active participation was another plus.
The Groovy language constructs are similar to Ruby or Scala, but Groovy also allows one to write java code. Calling a java library and vice-versa is a first-class language feature in Groovy. Features like convention over configuration, scaffolding, templates, partials, tag-libraries, plugins and an MVC architecture at the heart of the framework resonates very well with Java and Spring developers. Deploying a grails application is simply copying a war file to a web servlet container.
I also realized that ramping up a java developer in Grails would be easier than other frameworks.
The combination of familiarity with java, convention over configuration, availability of a comprehensive set of libraries, ultimately helped the decision to choose Grails. For someone with a background in Java and java based open-source technologies, trying to build a minimum-viable-product, I would strongly recommend Grails/Groovy over frameworks like Rails, Django, Lift, Node.js, etc

BritBox has launched: What you need to know
BritBox has entered the highly competitive streaming service market – following in the footsteps of Netflix and Apple TV+.
It hopes to muscle in on an industry which, up to now, has been dominated by US giants.
Here are some questions answered.
– Why now?
Broadcasters hoped to launch a similar joint service 10 years ago, but plans were vetoed by authorities in a decision which has since been criticised.
Since then, Netflix and Amazon have made their mark on British homes and Apple TV+ launched just days ago.
With Disney+ is also expected to arrive soon, so BritBox wanted to get its offering out as soon as possible.
The BBC, which has always had commercial funding streams through the likes of BBC Studios and BBC Worldwide, says no licence fee funding will be used to pay for the service.
ITV has said its net investment in the streaming service will be up to £25 million in 2019, rising to around £40 million in 2020 and declining thereafter.
– What can I watch on BritBox?
BritBox says it is the “biggest collection of British content available on any streaming service”, with new content arriving every week.
BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 shows will be on the service.
Highlights, either available now or arriving later, include hundreds of episodes of Doctor Who, series and specials of Downton Abbey, Broadchurch, Only Fools And Horses, Gavin & Stacey, Extras, Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple and Poirot.
More “content partners” could still be announced.
Shows and British films from Channel 4 and Film4 will arrive in 2020.
BritBox will also feature new commissions specifically created for the streaming service.
– How long will shows be on BritBox?
BritBox is designed as “a long-term home” for many shows, with no plans for programmes to be taken off the service.
Ofcom previously approved the BBC’s plan to extend iPlayer’s catch-up window to 12 months.
Shows are expected to arrive on BritBox only after they have been on BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.
– Will BBC and ITV shows still feature on rival streaming services such as Netflix?
BritBox says it will “build a distinctive library of content as existing licence agreements with other players expire”.
But some BBC shows are made by or with independent producers, who own the rights to their programmes and choose where to air their shows.
The BBC and ITV sometimes co-produce shows with Netflix and could continue to do so.
– How much does it cost?
The service costs £5.99 a month in HD and across multiple devices and it is offering a 30-day free trial.
Apple TV+ launched on November 1, costing £4.99 a month after a seven-day trial.
Netflix’s basic plan costs £5.99 – the same as BritBox – but this does not include HD viewing or multi-screen.
Access to Amazon Prime Video library of TV and film costs £5.99 a month.
Sky’s contribution to the streaming market offers a more customisable, and therefore complex, menu of options – an Entertainment Pass costs £7.99 a month.
What do the industry watchers say?
Dani Warner, TV expert at uSwitch.com, said: “The £5.99 monthly price looks like good value for money when considering the service’s extensive back catalogue, setting it apart from the limited number of shows on new rival Apple TV+, which costs £4.99 a month.”
But she added: “Some viewers may be disappointed that recent hit shows like Bodyguard and Killing Eve will not feature on BritBox at first due to existing agreements with other providers, and iPlayer — which is a free service — will get to keep shows for one year before they transfer over.
“BritBox will be a vault of great British entertainment when these shows eventually join the likes of Love Island, Downton Abbey, Broadchurch and Gavin & Stacey.”


iOS
In this tutorial we show how to do function tracing on your iOS device.
Setting up your iOS device
First off, you will need to jailbreak your device in case you haven’t done so
already. Also, we recommend using iOS 7.x as we haven’t performed any recent
regression tests on earlier versions.
Next, start Cydia
and add Frida’s repository by going to Manage
->
Sources
-> Edit
-> Add
and enter http://build.frida.re
. You should now
be able to find and install the Frida
package which lets Frida inject
JavaScript into apps running on your iOS device. This happens over USB,
so you will need to have your USB cable handy, though there’s no need to
plug it in just yet.
A quick smoke-test
Now, back on your Windows or Mac system it’s time to make sure the basics are working. Run:
$ frida-ps -U
Unless you already plugged in your device, you should see the following message:
Waiting for USB device to appear...
Plug in your device, and you should see a process list along the lines of:
PID NAME
488 Clock
116 Facebook
312 IRCCloud
1711 LinkedIn
…
Great, we’re good to go then!
Tracing crypto calls in the Twitter app
Alright, let’s have some fun. Fire up the Twitter app on your device, and while making sure it stays in the foreground without the device going to sleep, go back to your desktop and run:
$ frida-trace -U -i 'CCCryptorCreate*' Twitter

Started tracing 4 functions. Press ENTER to stop.
Now, CCryptorCreate
and friends are part of Apple’s libcommonCrypt.dylib
,
and is used by many apps to take care of encryption, decryption, hashing, etc.
Reload your Twitter feed or exercise the UI in some way that results in network traffic, and you should see some output like the following:
3979 ms CCCryptorCreate()
3982 ms CCCryptorCreateWithMode()
3983 ms CCCryptorCreate()
3983 ms CCCryptorCreateWithMode()
You can now live-edit the aforementioned JavaScript files as you read
man CCryptorCreate
, and start diving deeper and deeper into your iOS apps.
Building your own tools
While the CLI tools like frida-trace, frida-repl, etc., are definitely
quite useful, there might be times when you’d like to build your own tools
harnessing the powerful Frida APIs. For that we would
recommend reading the chapters on Functions and
Messages, and anywhere you see frida.attach()
just
substitute that with frida.get_usb_device().attach()
.

FAKE - F# Make - A DSL for build tasks
"FAKE - F# Make" is a build automation system with capabilities which are similar to make and rake. It is using an easy domain-specific language (DSL) so that you can start using it without learning F#. If you need more than the default functionality you can either write F# or simply reference .NET assemblies.
Simple Example
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: |
#r "tools/FAKE/tools/FakeLib.dll" // include Fake lib open Fake Target "Test" (fun _ -> trace "Testing stuff..." ) Target "Deploy" (fun _ -> trace "Heavy deploy action" ) "Test" // define the dependencies ==> "Deploy" Run "Deploy" |
This build script has two targets. The "Deploy" target has exactly one dependency, namely the "Test" target. Invoking the "Deploy" target (line 16) will cause FAKE to invoke the "Test" target as well.
Who is using FAKE?
Some of our users are:
- msu solutions GmbH
- E.On Global Commodities UK
- Octokit.NET by GitHub
- Tachyus
- Akka.net
- FSharp.Compiler.Service
- Visual F# Power Tools
- Deedle by BlueMountainCapital
- FSharp.Data
- CHECK24 Vergleichsportal GmbH
You can find more user here.
How to get FAKE
PM> Install-Package FAKE
Using FAKE
If you want to learn about FAKE you should read the "Getting started with FAKE" tutorial.
Targets
Targets are the main unit of work in a "FAKE - F# Make" script. Targets have a name and an action (given as a code block).
1: 2: 3: 4: |
// The clean target cleans the build and deploy folders Target "Clean" (fun _ -> CleanDirs ["./build/"; "./deploy/"] ) |
Build target order
You can specify the build order using the ==> operator:
1: 2: 3: 4: |
// "FAKE - F# Make" will run these targets in the order Clean, BuildApp, Default "Clean" ==> "BuildApp" ==> "Default" |
If one target should only be run on a specific condition you can use the =?> operator:
1: 2: 3: 4: |
"Clean" ==> "BuildApp" =?> ("Test",hasBuildParam "test") // only if FAKE was called with parameter xUnitTest ==> "Default" |
Running targets
You can execute targets with the "RunTargetOrDefault"-function (for more details see Running specific targets):
1:
|
RunTargetOrDefault "Default" |
FileSets
"FAKE - F# Make" uses similar include and exclude patterns as NAnt and MSBuild.
File includes
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: |
// Includes all *.csproj files under /src/app by using the !! operator !! "src/app/**/*.csproj" // Includes all *.csproj files under /src/app and /test with the ++ operator !! "src/app/**/*.csproj" ++ "test/**/*.csproj" |
File excludes
1: 2: 3: |
// Includes all files under /src/app but excludes *.zip files !! "src/app/**/*.*" -- "*.zip" |
UnitTests
NUnit
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: |
// define test dlls let testDlls = !! (testDir + "/Test.*.dll") Target "NUnitTest" (fun _ -> testDlls |> NUnit (fun p -> {p with DisableShadowCopy = true; OutputFile = testDir + "TestResults.xml"}) ) |
MSpec
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: |
// define test dlls let testDlls = !! (testDir + "/Test.*.dll") Target "MSpecTest" (fun _ -> testDlls |> MSpec (fun p -> {p with ExcludeTags = ["LongRunning"] HtmlOutputDir = testOutputDir}) ) |
xUnit.net
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: |
// define test dlls let testDlls = !! (testDir + "/Test.*.dll") Target "xUnitTest" (fun _ -> testDlls |> xUnit (fun p -> {p with ShadowCopy = false; HtmlOutput = true; XmlOutput = true; OutputDir = testDir }) ) |
Sample script
This sample script
- Assumes "FAKE - F# Make" is located at ./tools/FAKE
- Assumes NUnit is located at ./tools/NUnit
- Cleans the build and deploy paths
- Builds all C# projects below src/app/ and puts the output to ./build
- Builds all NUnit test projects below src/test/ and puts the output to ./build
- Uses NUnit to test the generated Test.*.dll's
- Zips all generated files to deploy/MyProject-0.1.zip
You can read the getting started guide to build such a script.

4" SDR9 HDPE
Moss Landing Fireline Repair
Moss Landing Fireline
Repair
-
Contractor: Therma & R&B Fusion
-
Location: Moss Landing, CA.
-
Pipe: 4" DR9 HDPE
-
Equipment: Pit Bull 26
The Moss Landing Power Plant is a natural gas powered electricity plant siting on the coastline of Monterey County. The pant was originally built in 1949, but has had several major upgrades over the years to make energy production more efficient. The newer units are combined cycle units, using a pair of gas turbines and a steam turbine.
The plant cycles through roughly 1.2 billion gallons of water daily. The pipeline below the plant consists of thousands of feet of HDPE. When the pipe was first laid in it was fused under pressure resulting in a weak bond between the pipes. When this happens only the outer and inner beads form a bond, rather than the full face of the pipe bonding. The end result is that leaks keep happening as the water will find the weakest point in the pipeline and breaking
On this particular day, R&B Fusion was called to fix a leak in a fireline. The leak occurred in a 4” line tee’d off from the main 12” line between the post-indicator and hydrant. A 90 was replaced with a flanged adapter so the line could be easily tied into in the future.

Digital Signage?
Digital Signage has been around for quiet a while. You can find digital signs everywhere today across restaurants, retailers, fintess clubs, and even on the streets. The uses cases would vary and span across displaying the menu at your local fast food restaurant to covering buildings with ads to in-store advertisement.
The following how-to guide will allow you to wirelessly manage and display content from webpages, images, and/or videos on any 1080p TV or display. This is very similar to the kind of digital signage to the menus you see in any major fast-food restaurant chain you enter today.
Why use Screenly and a Raspberry Pi to accomplish this?
This was what was needed to reinvent the industry. What we wanted was an affordable, modern and lightweight solution. The solution is fairly easy to manage and extremely inexpensive. Less than $100 in parts, 2 hours of your time (thanks to these instructions), and no subscription fees (unless you really want to go Pro). Not only that, the hardware was powerful enough to support full-HD playback. So there you go, a simple recipe of Screenly and Raspberry Pi will get you up and running with a turn-key digital signage solution.
8 Easy Steps
- A TV or a Display of your choice.
- A Raspberry Pi, or a kit like this one, which includes all the hardware you need.
- Download the current Screenly OS image here.
- Use your computer to write the image to the micro SD card: Instructions for Win/Mac/Linux.
- Insert the micro SD in the Pi, connect the Ethernet, HDMI, USB hub and Wi-Fi dongle (optional), and lastly the power.
- The Pi should boot and display the IP address of the ethernet adapter.
- Take note of this address.
- I have used a USB cable from the Pi to the TV with success. However, this probably isn’t recommended, for multiple reasons:
- Insufficient power from the TV USB port for reliable operation
- The Pi will turn off whenever the TV turns off, increasing wear and tear on the file system
- You have to wait for the Pi to boot every time the TV turns on.
Optional: Configure Wi-Fi:
- Connect to the Pi via ssh. On a Mac or Linux use the command "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[enter]", and enter password “raspberry”
- Use an editor like nano or vi (both included in the image) to modify network.ini
- ifup wlan0
- Type "sudo reboot [enter]" to restart the Pi, and disconnect the ethernet cable.
- It should reboot and display an IP address as before. You are now connected via WiFi.
- Connect to the new IP address from your browser using the URL: http://x.x.x.x:8080
Optional: If you get a black border around the image, try disabling overscan:
- Using SSH, connect to the Pi again
- Edit the /boot/config.txt file.
- Remove the # before the disable_overscan=1 command to uncomment and activate the command

Another day in the Trek life
Star Trek Insurrection A Film Review By Michael Redman Copyright 1998 By Michael Redman
**1/2 (Out of ****)
Ever-expanding civilizations run into a problem eventually. The Roman Empire had its external enemies, but internal problems are what finally defeated the massive state. The government had fallen into a state of disrepair, the infrastructure couldn't stand the weight and it all collapsed into itself. The "barbarians" at the gate were merely finishing off what had already been accomplished.
Some critics of modern western civilization compare it to Rome just before its downfall. They say that it's too complex and the center cannot hold. We'll see.
In the far-flung future of "Star Trek", the United Federation Of Planets, spanning hundreds of planets, could be slowly falling apart. The Borg and Dominion are pressuring it from without. More importantly, the Federation High Council seems willing to abandon its most sacred rule for a shot of rejuvenation.
As the third Next Generation "Star Trek" film opens, an investigatory team of Federation and their new allies the Son'a are spying on a peaceful Ba'ku village. Android Data (Brent Spiner), on loan from the Enterprise, goes berserk for some reason, attacking his teammates and exposing them to the Ba'ku.
Admiral Dougherty (Anthony Zerbe) is determined to destroy Data, but Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) demands a few hours to rectify the situation. When he arrives at the planet, he discovers that the android is the least of the problem. In apparent violation of the Prime Directive, the Federation is attempting to secretly re-locate the Ba'ku because their world is the fountain of youth.
As anyone with any Trek knowledge would know, Picard decides that the civilian population is being wronged. Casting aside direct orders from a superior officer, he and the rest of the Enterprise officers beam down to save the innocents.
"Star Trek" has a remarkably long history in terms of popular culture. The television program debuted 32 years ago and has spawned several sequel series and nine films as well as nurturing a substantial subculture of Trekkies and Trekkers. This movie, as well as previous ones, is for them and they'll love it.
The "Next Generation" series has been off the air for a while and the films are the only opportunity to watch new adventures of Picard, Data, William Riker (Jonathan Frakes who also directs), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden).
For the rest of the audience, the film is a mixed experience. It is a well-done new episode in the future history of the Enterprise crew, but it isn't anything spectacular.
Showing the new "Star Wars" preview before the film might be a mistake. After the breathtaking scenes from what will surely be next year's blockbuster, "Insurrection" pales by comparison. Trek has a history of an odd style of storytelling. There are very few moments of high drama. Most of the scenes take place in small rooms. There's a whole lot of talking and rarely a sense of danger.
The big battle on the planet's surface involves the Federation and Son'a tracking down the fleeing Ba'ku and shooting them -- with little darts. When they are hit, they are teleported up to the orbiting ship. It doesn't come across as real combat, but more like a futuristic game of paintball. Get shot and you're out of the game.
The space battles aren't much better. Most of the action is offscreen. Word has it that some of the effects didn't work and scenes were cut. When Riker uses a video game joystick to steer the ship, it laughable not exciting.
Even the sinister Ru'afo (F. Murray Abraham), leader of the Son'a, is underdone. Abraham is capable of a fine performance, but we don't get much here. Ru'afo will not rank in the list of great "Star Trek" villains.
"Star Trek" also has a long-standing tradition of recycling old stories and ideas. It's obvious when the camera pans over the Ba'ku village and shows them to be beautiful people living in harmony with their environment, that they're soon to be in big trouble. The Son'a are hideous, confirming the problems with too many facelifts. Guess who are the aggressors.
Disobeying the Federation to do the right thing is so common that we don't even see Picard agonizing over his decision. I kept awaiting the "insurrection" in the title but it's nothing that we haven't seen before.
Heavy handed allegories are also a Trek convention. The Ba'ku being relocated for their natural resources is a reference to any number of historical events especially the plight of Native Americans.
Picard's romance with the Ba'ku Anji (Donna Murphy) follows his trend of falling for strong women but never following up.  Riker and Troi renew their romance and end up in a bubble bath drinking champagne although in the chaste world of "Star Trek", you suspect that they're wearing swim suits under the suds.
Some of the humor works.  Data's follow-up is hilarious. And some of it doesn't work. Data singing a tune from "H.M.S. Pinafore" is just goofy.
Although the theme of the Federation's aging is never explored, it does leave possibilities for future films that go a bit deeper. "Insurrection" is enjoyable for the Trek fan and not too bad for the general audience. Maybe one day we'll see that marvelous "Star Trek" film we've been waiting for.

Inspired by a
recent post
of Joachim Bondo I decided to rework my versioning scheme for Xcode
projects as well. One of the major drawbacks of traditional versioning is that the so-called
marketing version (Apple slang) is kept twice, once in the project's Info.plist
file and once in the Git tag that is created after release. This redundancy
is not only inconvenient, but can also lead to mistakes, i.e. forgetting to bump the
CFBundleShortVersionString prior to tagging the new release.
So instead of maintaining the CFBundleShortVersionString we will now automatically
inject the version number from the most recent Git tag into the generated app bundle. This is
actually pretty easy and requires just the following two lines of shell code in a custom
Build Phase:
Idea taken from http://tinyurl.com/3usjj9d by Joachim Bondo.
Get the current release description from Git.
GIT_RELEASE_VERSION=git describe --tags
Set the CFBundleShortVersionString in the generated Info.plist (stripping off the leading "v").
To add it to a target in your Xcode project, select the target, then Add Build Phase → Add Run Script,
set the shell to /bin/bash and paste the contents of the script above. Make sure it is run
after the Target Dependencies phase and before the Copy Bundle Resources phase, as shown in
the following screenshot.
It is important to note that this will alter the Info.plist file of the built app bundle,
not the Info.plist in your source tree, so your source tree won't get dirty
from this operation, and you won't have to either reset or make another commit which would
create a mismatch between the code you tagged and the code containing the correct version
number. This way the version is stored only in the Git tag (i.e. v1.0.0) and you can
remove the CFBundleShortVersionString from the Info.plist in your source tree.
A nice side effect of using git describe --tags is that if you make a development build,
in-between any Git tagging, you will get a version number like v1.0.0-12-gf181880. In this
case the version was built from a commit identified by the (partial) SHA gf181880 which is
12 commits after the last tagged version v1.0.0. A great way to handle the marking version
of development builds.
Local snapshots for Time Machine is one of the new features in OS X Lion that looks really good on paper. But once you have used your new Lion installation for a few days, you will notice that you are running out of disk space. After some digging around I noticed that the /.MobileBackups folder that is used by Time Machine for local snapshots was at nearly 50GiB, even though the external Time Machine backup disk was connected most of the time. I guess this is done to speedup Time Machine in the common case, and make backups available when not connected to the external Time Machine disk.
Besides the disk space issue, the local snapshots feature also slows down your MBP noticably. You'll notice that the disk is spinning most of the time, and the file copying performed by Time Machine trashes your caches. Everything feels terribly slow after some time. Thankfully Apple engineers included a switch to turn of the local snapshots feature, tmutil supports a new command disablelocal in OS X Lion. Use the following command to disable the local snapshots feature of Time Machine:
Note that it might take some time for Time Machine to cleanup the /.MobileBackups folder.
So I'm trying to get used to OS X Lion
now. One of the first things I noticed was that the Library
folder does no longer show up in Finder by default. Of course that was
rather trivial to fix using the following command:
One really nice feature in Lion is that new tabs in
Terminal.app now inherit the
current working directory from the tab from which they were opened - something
I implemented in Xfce's Terminal
seven years ago, BTW. Looks like this is implemented by parsing the path
displayed in the title bar, which can have unexpected results when combined
with ssh sessions, since the path in the title is actually set
via the (remote) shell. In addition the title bar of Terminal windows
now provides the same handles as the title bar in Finder windows, which is
pretty handy.
Unfortunately Apple decided to kick Spaces and replace it with Mission
Control. This
by itself is not necessarily bad, but now there's no way to get that two
dimensional workspace layout back, at least until Apple decides
to fix that shortcoming. I've also noticed that the order of the workspaces
seems to change under some (obscure) conditions, which is even worse. Maybe
I'm just getting old, but until now I was unable to figure out what triggers
this rearrangement - not what I'd call intuitive.
Update 1: Lion also says bye bye to Microsoft Office for Mac 2004, since
Rosetta is not
available for Mac OS X 10.7.
Update 3: Well, I am old... the fix for that Mission Control feature that
drove me nuts is obvious. In the Mission Control preference pane, disable
the Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use option. Even
if I was too blind to discover this earlier, it's nevertheless a really bad
default. Out of 100 Mac users, how many would their workspaces to rearrange
magically?
Just like almost every other geek on this planet, I'm downloading
OS X Lion from the App Store right
now. Rather slow... but that way I can do a full backup first while
the update is downloading. #lion
on Twitter is already busy discussing the new
release.
In related news: The new MacBook Air
looks really great - especially starting at $999. Finally a real alternative
to the MacBook Pro.

Organoid segmentation¶
Given images of nuclear staining in TIFF format, SCOUT contains tools for segmenting orgnaoid ventricles as well as the overall organoid shape (foreground).
Downsampling images¶
Since the segmentation of ventricles and whole-organoids is not a single-cell problem, the nuclear stain images are first downsampled to pixel width of 4 micron. For example, if the lateral dimensions of the original voxels are 0.67 micron, then a downsampling factor of 6x in x and y would give a 4 micron pixel resolution in each z-slice. To downsample the preprocessed TIFFs, the following command can be used:
scout segment downsample color0_rescaled/ syto_down6x 6 6 -v -t
This command will create a new folder called syto_down6x containing TIFF images downsampled 6x in y and 6x in x (the image dimension order is (y, x) for 2D and (z, y, x) for 3D). The flag -t specifies that the input folder contains a series of 2D TIFFs. Next, the downsampled 2D TIFFs can be stacked into a single 3D TIFF:
scout segment stack syto_down6x/ syto_down6x.tif -v
This downsampled 3D TIFF of the nuclear staining is the input for ventricle and whole-organoid segmentation.
Ventricle segmentation¶
SCOUT uses a pre-trained U-Net model to segment ventricles from nuclear stain images at 4 micron pixel resolution. Note that tensorflow must be installed in the scout conda environment for this to work, and the GPU-accelerated version will greatly improve performance. If the organoid images are larger than 1024 x 1024, then a GPU with more than 16GB memory may be required is using tensorflow-gpu. If this is not available, then the CPU-only version of tensorflow should also work, but it performance may be slow. To run the ventricle segmentation, the following command can be used:
scout segment ventricle syto_down6x.tif path/to/unet.h5 segment_ventricles.tif -t 0.5 -v
where path/to/unet.h5 is a path to the U-Net model weights and segment_ventricles.tif is the resulting binary ventricle segmentation image. The -t 0.5 argument specifies a probability threshold for obtaining a binary image from the U-Net model prediction.
Foreground segmentation¶
The overall organoid can be segmented by blurring the downsampled nuclear stain and thresholding the result, which can be done using the following command:
scout segment foreground syto_down6x.tif segment_foreground.tif -v -t 0.02 -g 8 4 4
where segment_foreground.tif is a newly created 3D binary TIFF image containing the overall organoid shape. The argument -g 8 4 4 specifies the amount of gaussian smoothing along each the z, y, and x dimensions, and the argument -t 0.02 specifies the level at which to threshold the gaussian smoothed image.


The waste will be picked up by us completely free of cost.

In the JavaScript language, describe all the use cases for each of:
Parentheses ()
Parentheses have a couple functions that I am aware of. They are used to
contain a list of parameters passed to functions and control structures and
they are used to group expressions to control the order of execution.
function bindEventListeners (dots) Some functions have no parameters
and in this case, the space between parentheses is blank. function()
Brackets []
Use brackets for an array of simple values. For example:
board.cells[i]["surroundingMines"] =
Braces {}
Use braces for key => value arrays and objects/properties. For example:
function start () {
bindEventListeners(document.getElementsByClassName('board')[0].children)
}
Single quotes '' && Double quotes ""
Both single and double quotes are used to enclose a string. For example:
var string = "This is a string"
Control
When programming, what are some of your triggers? What causes a disproportionate emotional response?
My biggest trigger is not being able to understand what I need to do, EDA
is nothing like school where as if your struggling you can go and ask your
teacher for help and have some good one on one time or stay after school to
receive extra tutoring, right now Im feeling like I'm in the deep end, this week
has been the first week I have properly struggled with and I'm pretty gutted but
I keep trying and trying until I get it. Once I wrap my head around all this
javascript stuff Ill be good as gold again!
How did you find the Siberian North Railroad exercise (Stop, Breathe, Notice, Reflect, Respond)?
Very lovely! I'm the type of person who loves to stop, breathe, and think
about what I am doing, I always need a plann and I also like to think ahead
seeing how stuff will affect me later on, so this exercise relates to me really
well and fits in perfectly with me.

An object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers.

The purpose of a variable is to store information (values, expressions) which can be used later.
In computer programming, a naming convention is a set of rules for choosing the character sequence to be used for identifiers which denote variables, types, functions, and other entities in source code and documentation.
Like the program itself, a function is composed of a sequence of statements called the function body. Values can be passed to a function, and the function will return a value. In JavaScript, functions are first-class objects, because they can have properties and methods just like any other object.
A method in object-oriented programming (OOP) is a procedure associated with a message and an object. An object is mostly made up of data and behavior, which form the interface that an object presents to the outside world. Data is represented as properties of the object and behavior as methods.
JavaScript functions have a built-in object called the arguments object. The argument object contains an array of the arguments used when the function was called (invoked).
In computer programming, a parameter is a special kind of variable, used in a subroutine to refer to one of the pieces of data provided as input to the subroutine. [a] These pieces of data are called arguments.
In most programming languages, the return statement is either "return" or "return value", where value is a variable or other information coming back from the subroutine.
AMethod chaining, also known as named parameter idiom, is a common syntax for invoking multiple method calls in object-oriented programming languages.
In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable. The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length changed, or it may be fixed (after creation).
In computer science, the Boolean data type is a data type, having two values (usually denoted true and false), intended to represent the truth values of logic and Boolean algebra.
In computing (particularly, in programming), undefined value is a condition where an expression does not have a correct value, although it is syntactically correct. An undefined value must not be confused with empty string, boolean "false" or other "empty" (but defined) values.
In computing, NaN, standing for not a number, is a numeric data type value representing an undefined or unrepresentable value, especially in floating-point calculations. ... Two separate kinds of NaNs are provided, termed quiet NaNs and signaling NaNs.
If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device (e.g. printer or text terminal) then any escape character for this device is a control one. But escape characters used in programming (such as the backslash, "\") are graphic, hence are not control characters.
The alert() method displays an alert box with a specified message and an OK button.
 When you place these two slashes, all text to the right of them will be ignored, until the next line.
jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today, with installation on 65% of the top 10 million highest-trafficked sites on the Web.
In computing, an attribute is a specification that defines a property of an object, element, or file. It may also refer to or set the specific value for a given instance of such. For clarity, attributes should more correctly be considered metadata.

The rotate functions rotate the element around the corresponding axis. This is a bit counter-intuitive at first, as you might imagine that rotateX() will rotate an object horizontally left or right. Instead, using rotateX() rotates an element around the horizontal X axis, so the top of the element angles back and away, and the bottom angles near. There’s also several shorthand transform functions so you can set values for all three dimensions: translate3d( tx, ty, tz ) scale3d( sx, sy, sz ) rotate3d( rx, ry, rz, angle )

I am a Physics student and I am passionate about latest technology innovations. During my education, I have always tried to focus my studies on interdisciplinary problems, since I strongly believe that the most fascinating issues lie in the in-between. Because of this, I am always looking for new opportunities to broaden my horizons and to meet people with different backgrounds.
The aim of this work is to analyze dependencies and correlations between S&P500 stocks using a multiplex approach. To do so I considered different types of correlations (Pearson, Kendall and Spearman) between historical prices of stocks.
Check it outAs part of the course of Machine Learning of my university I took part to a Kaggle competition whose goal was to predict gender of Reddit users given large amount of messages posted by them.

Your application must have at least one client secret. If you need to, you can generate a new client secret and delete old ones.
} @if(clientSecrets.size < 5) {Rotate your application’s client secret to shorten the period an access key is active, reducing the impact to your business if it is compromised.
To rotate your client secret:
You can have up to 5 client secrets at any time.
You have the maximum number of client secrets for your application. You need to delete a client secret before you can generate a new one.
