Chapter 8 Functions, loops, and apply
8.1 Introduction
Most data analysis in R requires executing a particular task on multiple data observations, groups of observations, or separate data sets. Many novice users begin with the strategy of assigning a new variable for each input:
While this certainly works, it can be very time consuming and introduces substantial risk of user error. There are several alternative strategies that can be used to repeat mathematical operations or sequences of R functions for multiple variables or data sets that avoid this risk.
The foundation for any of these strategies is a function to be repeated. Once you have a function that you would like to repeat on multiple inputs, there are a few approaches for iterating through each repetition.
In this tutorial, we will focus on the apply
functions, which are a set of base R functions that can be used to execute a particular chunk of code on multiple inputs and generate appropriate outputs. The apply
functions are simple to use and create very neat code, but one limitation is that they can only be used in operations for which the order of iteration is not important.
We will also introduce for
and while
loops, which can be used when the order of operations does matter.
8.2 Writing basic functions
Functions in R take an input value, apply a process, and generate an output. R packages include numerous functions that can do nearly anything you desire, but research often requires specific processes or sequences of commands designed specifically to work with your data structure. You can write your own functions in R to perform these tasks.
Here is a very simple function:
Here, x
and y
are identified as the required input variables. The code written within the brackets describes the mathematical operation to be applied to the input variables.
## [1] 19
A function can be applied to a vector of inputs. In this scenario, the function will be applied to each pair of values in the vector sequence:
## [1] 6 8 4
<IP_ADDRESS> Nesting functions
Functions can also include other functions, which is particularly useful in the context of repeating complex data analyses. Here is a basic example:
## [1] 6 5 7
It is important to note that in this situation, the internal function (mean()
) takes a vector of input values. This function will calculate the mean of the vals_x
vector and then add this to each separate value of vals_y
.
This can be very useful, but it’s critical that you know exactly how your function processes input values or you may run into major problems!
<IP_ADDRESS> Assigning variables within functions and return()
In some more complex analyses, the nested functions may generate data that needs to be stored as variables so they can be used as input for the next process. Here is a function that calculates the mean of our x values, adds y, and then generates 10 numbers from a normal distribution with a mean of the value calculated in the first step.
fun3 <- function (x, y){
val <- mean(x) + y
dist <- rnorm(1:10, mean = val, sd = 1)
}
output <- fun3(x = vals_x, y = 3)
output
## [1] 5.424814 6.691232 8.002993 7.730695 7.117511 7.268080 5.686973 8.485264
## [9] 6.356877 6.405854
If your function assigns multiple variables, you can use return()
to determine the data that is output from the function. This can be useful if your function includes writing a data set, or includes another process that is not intended to return anything to R as well as some process intended to return data to the R environment.
#Let's see what happens without using the return() function
fun4 <- function (x, y){
val <- mean(x) + y
dist <- rnorm(1:10, mean = x, sd = 1)
write.csv(dist, "outputs/filename.csv")
}
output <- fun4(x = vals_x, y = 3)
output
## NULL
Our output here is NULL because the default output for a function will come from the last command within the function. Here, write.csv()
does not produce data to be returned to R. If we add return()
, our function will write the .csv and also return the data we want into the environment:
#Now let's add return()
fun4 <- function (x, y){
val <- mean(x) + y
dist <- rnorm(1:10, mean = x, sd = 1)
write.csv(dist, "outputs/filename.csv")
return(dist)
}
output <- fun4(x = vals_x, y = 3)
output
## [1] 4.3102801 7.1364540 0.4559926 4.1286090 7.9435964 2.2381301 3.1237081
## [8] 7.0596780 2.1325763 4.1591631
Much better!
8.3 Using apply
functions
Once you have written a function, you will likely need to execute that function on multiple data sets or variables. This is where the apply
functions come in handy.
The apply
functions are a set of functions that can be used to, well, apply functions to lists, dataframes, and matrices. apply
functions are similar to loops, but have a much simpler syntax.
There are several different functions that can be used depending upon the inputs and desired outputs. We will work through the following apply
functions:
apply
- used with arrays, including matrices, and returns a vector, array, or list.sapply
- (simplified apply) applies the function to each element of a vector, list, or matrix, and returns the outputs as a vector or matrix.lapply
- (list apply) is similar tosapply
, but returns a list of objects, rather than a vector.mapply
- (multivariate apply) applies a function to the first elements of two or more vectors or lists, and then the second pair of elements, etc..
If this doesn’t make much sense, don’t stress! We will walk though an example of each function and situations for which they might be useful.
8.3.1 apply
Let’s generate a theoretical transition matrix for a “before” and “after” data set that shows the number of transitions from one type to another.
## after
## before 0 1 2 3 4 5
## 0 132 130 92 16 8 1
## 1 141 139 69 27 5 1
## 2 65 66 33 9 2 0
## 3 17 15 9 2 0 0
## 4 4 10 4 0 0 0
## 5 0 0 0 1 1 0
## 6 0 1 0 0 0 0
We would like to convert this table to the relative probability for each transition- that is, what is the probability that an object of type “0” in the “before” dataset transitions to a 1? To a 2? 3?
To calculate the probability, we will need to get the sum of observations in each row, and then divide each transition in that particular row by the row sum. We can do this using the apply
function.
apply
has three arguments: X
is the array to which the function will be applied. MARGIN
is used to identify whether the function should be applied to the rows, columns, or both. ‘1’ is for rows, ‘2’ is for columns, and c(1,2) can be used for both. FUN
is the function to be applied.
In this scenario, we set MARGIN = 1
so it will perform the function row wise. Up to this point, we have defined our functions outside of other commands, but in this scenario, it is a very simple function and so we can define the function within the command itself.
*Note: The t()
function surrounding the command transposes the data set so it returns the matrix in the original orientation (before as rows and after as columns)
## after
## before 0 1 2 3 4 5
## 0 0.3482850 0.3430079 0.2427441 0.04221636 0.02110818 0.002638522
## 1 0.3691099 0.3638743 0.1806283 0.07068063 0.01308901 0.002617801
## 2 0.3714286 0.3771429 0.1885714 0.05142857 0.01142857 0.000000000
## 3 0.3953488 0.3488372 0.2093023 0.04651163 0.00000000 0.000000000
## 4 0.2222222 0.5555556 0.2222222 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.000000000
## 5 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.50000000 0.50000000 0.000000000
## 6 0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.000000000
Hurray! Please not that there are other ways to perform the same task, but this one is a conceptually a simple example :)
8.3.2 sapply
Let’s check out the Loblolly dataset. It contains the height, age, and seed source of a sample of Loblolly pines.
## height age Seed
## 1 4.51 3 301
## 15 10.89 5 301
## 29 28.72 10 301
## 43 41.74 15 301
## 57 52.70 20 301
## 71 60.92 25 301
The data set includes a range of ages. Let’s see if we can write a function that calculates the mean height for each age group.
## [1] 3 5 10 15 20 25
#Create a function that calculates the mean height for each age group
fun5 <- function (x){
agegroup <- subset(Loblolly, age == x)
mean_height <- mean(agegroup$height)
return(mean_height)
}
fun5(ages)
## [1] 32.3644
Hmmm, this returns one value rather than a separate mean for each group. Why is that?
In this function, x is a vector, and so the subset function selects the cases where age is equal to any of the values included in the ages
vector. Because we have selected every value of age, we will get the mean height for the entire dataset.
If we would like a vector of the means for each height, we will can use sapply
.
#Create a function that calculates the mean height for each age group
mean_heights <- sapply(X = ages, FUN = fun5)
mean_heights
## [1] 4.237857 10.205000 27.442143 40.543571 51.468571 60.289286
Excellent! We now have a vector with the mean height for each age group!
8.3.3 lapply
You can use the lapply
function to get the same information, but in a list format.
## [[1]]
## [1] 4.237857
##
## [[2]]
## [1] 10.205
##
## [[3]]
## [1] 27.44214
##
## [[4]]
## [1] 40.54357
##
## [[5]]
## [1] 51.46857
##
## [[6]]
## [1] 60.28929
In this scenario, sapply
might be a better fit. lapply
is generally more useful if your output is a an object like a data.frame
or produces objects of different types.
Let’s write a function that creates a subsetted data.frame
for each value of tree age.
ages <- unique(Loblolly$age)
func6 <- function (x){
subset(Loblolly, age == x)
}
sub_df <- lapply(ages, func6)
#Let's look at items 1 and 2 in the list
sub_df[1:2]
## [[1]]
## height age Seed
## 1 4.51 3 301
## 2 4.55 3 303
## 3 4.79 3 305
## 4 3.91 3 307
## 5 4.81 3 309
## 6 3.88 3 311
## 7 4.32 3 315
## 8 4.57 3 319
## 9 3.77 3 321
## 10 4.33 3 323
## 11 4.38 3 325
## 12 4.12 3 327
## 13 3.93 3 329
## 14 3.46 3 331
##
## [[2]]
## height age Seed
## 15 10.89 5 301
## 16 10.92 5 303
## 17 11.37 5 305
## 18 9.48 5 307
## 19 11.20 5 309
## 20 9.40 5 311
## 21 10.43 5 315
## 22 10.57 5 319
## 23 9.03 5 321
## 24 10.79 5 323
## 25 10.48 5 325
## 26 9.92 5 327
## 27 9.34 5 329
## 28 9.05 5 331
8.3.4 mapply
mapply
is an extremely useful function that is a great way to avoid using for
loops! With mapply
, you can use multiple input variables and it will iterate through each pair (or trio or more) of variables as inputs for the function.
Let’s say we would like to generate a theoretical normal distribution of tree height for each age group based on the mean and standard deviation of height. We will need a vector of means and a vector of heights to use as input values. We have already genereated a vector of means in our sapply
example, so we will use a similar equation to generate a vector of sd.
fun6 <- function (x){
agegroup <- subset(Loblolly, age == x)
sd(agegroup$height)
}
sd_height <- sapply(ages, fun6)
sd_height
## [1] 0.4036026 0.8155767 1.5378866 1.9508444 2.2118278 2.2688339
Now, we can write a function that takes the two variables and applied it to each pair of input values to generate 6 six distributions.
fun7 <- function (x, y){
rnorm(100, mean = x, sd = y)
}
height_dists <- mapply(FUN = fun7, x = mean_heights, y = sd_height)
colnames(height_dists) <- ages #This names the columns by the tree age
summary(height_dists)
## 3 5 10 15
## Min. :3.296 Min. : 7.242 Min. :24.45 Min. :35.67

[gecode-users] Computing Variable Domains

OK, i see.
This was indeed the thing i wanted to do.
I had some bad experiences with posting propagators on unrestricted
variables.
Given that my supports has a declarative language for the description of
the constraints, no domain is given as input.
That why i wanted to compute one.
But i will now leave it with a simple bound computation using
boost::numeric::interval.
Thanks a lot,
Max

Resiliency
- the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties
- the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape
Resilient applications
- Withstand stress and rebound without direct human intervention
- Recover from temporary failures and continue to serve traffic
What can we do to build resilient apps?
Integration points
Always expect the worst, be cynical
Don't fail on startup
Your app should not require access to an integration to start, it might fail
but it should be up.
The circular dependency conundrum
I can't start because you're not up, you can't start because I'm not up
Don't use integrations on health checks
Your app's health check calls an integration? BAD.
Automate everything carefully
Automation that fails or is out of sync is more dangerous than no automation at all
Terminate stuff slowly
You don't want to be aggressive here
Consider startup time when scaling up
Autoscaling from 10 to 100 only because you failed to account for that
will take you down.
Limit resource automated resource usage
Any piece that creates new resources based on metrics or load needs hard limits.
Your billing and downstream dependencies will thank you.
Huge state changes are a bad sign
Automation should not try to automatically recover if the change is too
large.
Got a CDN?
Block direct access to resources the CDN is caching.
Find your most expensive operation
What happens if you flood it?
Timeout everything
No external call is safe enough, all operations should have a (preferably small) timeout
tied to it.
Use proxies if you don't have direct access
- Envoy
- Linkerd
- ProxySQL
- PGBouncer
- HAproxy
Circuit breakers are your friends
Wait, what's a circuit breaker?
Too much failure? Trip it!
-
Once a dependency has failed too much, the circuit opens
and
stops sending requests
-
Failure mode should be optional, could be a cached or default response or
just a special error
Recovering
-
Every once in a while a request is sent to the downstream service
-
If enough requests succeed, the circuit closes and the app resumes
calling the dependency.
Why bother?
- Protects downstream services from overload
- Forces callers to think about failure modes
Failure modes are a business decision
Stuff breaks, deal with it.
Use bulkheads
-
Create separate deployments across regions, data centers and even cloud
providers
-
Detect high cost users (the ones that pay your bills!) and separate them
from the
common ones.
-
Use different endpoints for callers with different expectations.
Fail fast
- The more users wait, the more likely they are to leave or be mad
- Any transaction that takes more than a couple seconds is a failure already
- Run long running processes in background and provide feedback later
- Failures modes are business decisions
Do not retry right away
- If it failed now, it will fail again a coulpe seconds later
- Use backoff and run in the background
- Notify the user later if impossible to perform
Rate limit internal services
- Your service can't take infinite load
- A misconfigured upstream service could flood you with traffic and take
you down
- Create a well defined limit on how many calls each service can make and
throttle them once they go
over it
Test for broken protocols
- Half a message
- Garbage
- Unexpected content type
- Use your imagination
Resiliency is not free
But outages aren't free either. Find the balance.

--- title: Web Scraping ABC keywords: fastai sidebar: home_sidebar summary: "Pulling Irish music for future experiments" description: "Pulling Irish music for future experiments" nb_path: "notebooks/14_Web_Scraping_ABC.ipynb" ---
url = 'https://thesession.org/tunes/search?type=&mode=Dmajor&q=&page=1'
page = urlopen(url) # We would put thus in a try/catch block if we were being careful
soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'html.parser') # BeautifulSoup kindly parses the html for us
For each page of results there is a list of ten songs. Each one is a list item (li
in html) that starts with the following: # <li class="manifest-item">
. We can use BeautifulSoup's findAll method to get all of these list items:
list_items = soup.findAll('li', {"class": "manifest-item"})
urls = []
for li in list_items:
link = li.find('a') # Get the link to the tune
urls.append(link.get('href')) # Store it for later
print(urls) # A list of URLs for us to scrape
tune_page = requests.get('https://thesession.org'+urls[0])
tune_soup = BeautifulSoup(tune_page.text, 'html5lib')
tune_content = tune_soup.find('div', {"class": "notes"})
tune_content.text
I found it easiest at this stage to just parse the text above myself, using a function to pull out the tune title, info and notes:
parse_tune(tune_content)
I'm impatient, so I use some parallel processing with ThreadPoolExecutor
to fetch up to ten tunes at once. There's a thread lock to stop concurrent writes to a csv file which I've set up get_tune
to store the tunes in.
csv_writer_lock = threading.Lock()
We can use this to grab all our tunes in parallel:
set_up_threads(urls)
I ran this for multiple pages of search results to get 500 songs. This is what that ends up looking like:
df = pd.read_csv('data/all_tunes.csv', names = ['Title', 'Type', 'TS', 'Key', 'Notes'])
print(df.shape)
df.head()
This dataset will be useful for a project idea I have had brewing - but my hour is up so that's where we are ending for today.

| arrange.tbl_lazy {dbplyr} | R Documentation |
This is an method for the dplyr arrange()
generic. It generates
the ORDER BY
clause of the SQL query. It also affects the
window_order()
of windowed expressions in mutate.tbl_lazy()
.
Note that ORDER BY
clauses can not generally appear in subqueries, which
means that you should arrange()
as late as possible in your pipelines.
## S3 method for class 'tbl_lazy' arrange(.data, ..., .by_group = FALSE)
.data |
A lazy data frame backed by a database query. |

< |
.by_group |
If |
Another tbl_lazy
. Use show_query()
to see the generated
query, and use collect()
to execute the query
and return data to R.
Unlike R, most databases sorts NA
(NULL
s) at the front. You can
can override this behaviour by explicitly sorting on is.na(x)
.

Introduction Configuring Filebunker Backing up files Restoring files
FileBunker is a file backup application which uses one or more GMail accounts as a free, offsite backup repository. While you may dutifully backup your data by burning CDs or writing tapes, in most cases those tapes end up sitting on the shelf, mere feet away from the hard drive whose data is being backed up. This data is vulnerable to a catastrophic event such as fire, flood, or earthquake. By sending data offsite this problem is resolved.
You would typically run FileBunker periodically (perhaps weekly) to keep the backup repository current, and in the rare case of an accidental deletion, or, worse yet a disaster, would use FileBunker to restore some or all of the backed up files.
The following document will explain how to use FileBunker. If you have remaining questions you can also consult the Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
Before FileBunker can be used to backup your files, you need to configure the application. This is done by choosing Configuration from the File menu. The following describes the information that must be provided to complete this configuration.
FileBunker Password
First and foremost, FileBunker requires you to establish a password. This password is used to encrypt the data that you backup so that it is secure. Longer passwords are better, and you should not use a password which coincides with the password to any of the GMail accounts that you are using for backups. Note in order to make sure your password is correctly recorded, you must type it again in the Confirm Password field.
SMTP Server
FileBunker transfers files to GMail by sending them using the standard email transfer protocol SMTP. You must identify an SMTP server that will send your email. This is usually an address like smtp.mycompany.com, or mail.myisp.com. If you are not sure what to specify, check the account configuration in your email application (such as Outlook or Eudora), or contact your ISP.
Some SMTP servers require authentication in order to transfer messages. This involves specifying a user name and password which is used to authenticate you to the SMTP server. If your server requires this authentication, check the Requires Authentication checkbox, and click the Configure button to specify the user name and password. As with establishing your FileBunker password, you will need to confirm your password to make sure it is correctly recorded. Again, check the configuration of your email application, or contact your ISP, if you are not sure whether your SMTP server requires authentication.
Email Repositories
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, in order to perform any backups you need to specify one or more GMail accounts which your files will be sent to.
Clicking the New button will prompt you to specify the email address and password for an existing GMail account. Note the<EMAIL_ADDRESS>is already specified, so you will only need to specify the user name (e.g. jsmith). As with other password fields in this configuration, you will need to confirm the password to ensure it is recorded correctly. After pressing OK you will be returned to the main configuration dialog, and you will see the new account in the Email Repositories list. You can select it, and click Edit to change the details of that account, or Delete to remove it.
Each GMail account gives you 1000 megabytes of storage. You can register multiple accounts at any time as your storage requirements grow. FileBunker will automatically use a new account as old ones are filled up.
NOTE If you delete an account that already has files backed up to it, those files will not be accessible from FileBunker.
Now that you have configured FileBunker, you are ready to backup your critical files. In the main FileBunker window you will see two tabs: Backup and Restore. In this section of the help, where we deal with backing up files, we will be confining ourselves to the Backup tab.
In the backup tab, you will see a file explorer that shows you the files on your hard drive. The folder hierarchy is visible and navigable on the left. You can expand and collapse folders by clicking on the +/- next to them, or double-clicking on the folder name. On the right, the files and folders in the currently selected folder are displayed.
You will notice that each file and folder has a checkbox to its left. When this box is checked, that file or folder you are indicating that you would like it backed up during the next backup operation. Note that checking a folder automatically checks all files and folders inside of it, and unchecking a folder unchecks all inside files and folders.
EXAMPLE A user John Smith wants to back up his entire My Documents directory except for his mp3 collection which is stored in My Documents\Media. He would navigate to the My Documents folder, and check it, causing all nested files and folders to be checked. He then would navigate into the Media directory, and uncheck the mp3 folder.
HINT A convenient description of the current backup selection is provided underneath the backup explorer. For instance in the above example, when John checks My Documents, the description reads "Backup all files under C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\My Documents." When he unchecks the mp3 folder, it will update to read "Backup all files under C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\My Documents, except for C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\My Documents\Media\mp3."
After you have selected the files you wish to backup, simply click the Backup button in the lower right of the window. FileBunker will take a few moments to verify that you have enough space in your GMail account(s) to store the files, and then will begin encrypting and emailing them. While a small number of files can be backed up in a matter of seconds, large backup operations can take hours. You can cancel the operation at any time, and FileBunker will remember exactly which files were backed up. When the backup is complete you will be told how many files were backed up, the size of those files, and how long it took.
At this point, you have setup your backup selection, and now future backups are a snap. Simply launch FileBunker, and click the Backup button. It will remember your selection, and will only backup files that have changed since your last backup. So while the first backup may take awhile, subsequent backups will be much faster.
In the unfortunate event that you need to restore a file or folder, you can do so by selecting the Restore tab.
The Restore tab is organized much like the Backup tab, except that it only shows you files that are in your backup repository (your collective GMail accounts). You can navigate to any file or folder, select it, and click the Restore button to retrieve it. In the case of restoring a single file, you will be prompted for a name to restore the file as. In the case of restoring multiple files or one or more folders, you will prompted to specify a folder into which the restored files will be saved. After the destination file or folder is specified, the restore operation begins. Progress is shown as the operation proceeds, and you can cancel at any time. When the restore is complete, you will be told how many files were restored, the size of those files, and how long it took.
If you have performed more than one backup operation, a drop down list appears in the upper right corner of the FileBunker window. This list lets you select from a list of dates representing prior backup operations. By default the latest date is selected, showing you the state of your files on that date. You can select earlier dates and you will see the state of your files as of that backup operation. These dates similarly filter which version of the files you are viewing, and thus which version you are retrieving when you perform a restore. In some cases multiple versions of a given file will be stored in your backup repository, and any of these versions can be retrieved.
Another way to explore the history of your backed up files is to right click on any file and select Show History from the context menu. You will be presented with a dialog showing all the dates that the file was backed up, and from this dialog you can restore any version.
Note that the Restore tab has a description at the bottom of the restore explorer that shows the current selection. It tells you what all will be restored if you click the restore button.


A few things have been bugging me about this song. It came on hard into the public presence. That’s always a red flag for me. It’s up to 121M views in 10 days. That’s an extremely viral video. How did it get there?
What is the video?
Here’s teh video below. It shows Donald Glover dancing around, murdering people in a warehouse with some rioters, onlookers, death on a pale white horse, some cops, and some other weird references. I’m betting if I look hard enough I’ll see some names actually hidden in graffiti and shit on the sides of the walls near other stuff that gives indicators to what the names will be references too. We saw this with “I, Pet Goat II” which names 3 major hurricanes that move up the east coast in 2017 before they technically happened. That was another weird little illuminati promo video…. so I’m betting we can find the same stuff in this.
Ultimately it’s a music video. The cinematography is neat, but the music isn’t amazing… I think it’s popular because all the Deep State started reporting on it immediately. Why would that be? Could it be the Illuminati controls the music media and news media and they collaborate to spread their messaging hidden in these kind of videos?
Well, here’s how he dressed to the big awards thing
I mean… that’s pretty blatent.
What bugs me about the racial experts?
Here’s the Washington Post coming out two days after this release with a fairly detailed list of racial imagery crackers may have missed.
So, the editors are either 80 and lived through it or more likely 40+ and studied some of this. But, this isn’t rolling stone.
I think it’s much more likely they were handed talking points about the video while promoting it than organically figuring out all the weird racial shit that’s in it. By providing analysis on the video they are also hyping it.
The question is why?
My first thought goes to distraction. Why does the media want us focused on a hyper violent song claiming to be America? What news stories do they not want you reading so you can enjoy some hyperviolence in a music video? If it’s not a distraction why focus on the violence?
This is a little rambly and I know it, but this video triggered me a little into thinking it’s a bullshit song being mass promoted by the media to an extent I don’t fully understand, but believe that the controlled explosion of this song, combined with his very public illuminati jacket, and the hyper violence suggests it’s at least meaningful to the elite and worthy of further scrutiny.
This is a little ironic of course because I think the song is meant ot play as a distraction, but ultimately if we can figure out the clues that lead to “this is a distraction” and use that logic to identify all the stuff they are distracting us from then that should help the truth community pay attention to the right stuff when the distractions are playing out.
This page is synchronized from the post: ‘Childish Gambino- This is America- How did the media become race experts on this song displaying 60 year old racial themes two days after it’’s release?’


mdpy.discrete module¶
Implementing a categorical discrete random variable along the lines of scipy.rv_discrete, which required a bit more effort and finesse than would generally be considered preferable.
-
class
mdpy.discrete.
categorical
(outcomes, weights=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_sample
A class created to express floating point categorical random variables in terms of scipy random variables.
Note
For reasons explored below, I am unsure if I’ve overridden everything that should be overridden. The pmf, cdf, mean,`var`, and entropy methods appear to work.
The (ab)use of metaprogramming in scipy.stats made this substantially more difficult than it had to be.
If you’re ever in the mood for a terrible time, read [the source code](https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/v0.18.1/scipy/stats/_distn_infrastructure.py) for the rv_discrete class. It appears that they have refactored rv_sample into rv_discrete, so that rv_discrete actually determines at class instantiation whether it will actually be rv_discrete or a rv_sample, which is a subclass of rv_discrete,
-
pmf
(k, *args, **kwds)[source]¶ Probability mass function at k of the given RV.
Parameters: - k (array_like) – Quantiles.
- arg2, arg3,.. (arg1,) – The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information)
- loc (array_like, optional) – Location parameter (default=0).

Changed: ``` — cond1 = (k >= self.a) & (k <= self.b) & self._nonzero(k, *args) +++ cond1 = (k >= self.a) & (k <= self.b)
— goodargs = argsreduce(cond, *((k,)+args)) +++ goodargs = (k,) + args ``` + some misc. comments
Note that self._nonzero(k, *args) is exactly equivalent to floor(k) == k, so not only do you have higher overhead from function calls, but it’s not even shorter! And it’s only used in TWO places. Also, a lot of the internal functions appear to exist just to alias (and therefore slow down) existing numpy functions.

node-goldwasher-aws-lambda
A version of goldwasher that runs as a module on AWS Lambda. Uses goldwasher-needle for requests.
Installation
This module installs as a module on AWS Lambda, as a zip file. You can either just download the zip from /dist
and upload it via your AWS console or install it via aws-cli. The first one might not always work so the method with aws-cli described below is recommended:
npm install goldwasher-aws-lambda
cd node_modules/goldwasher-aws-lambda/dist/
aws lambda create-function --function-name goldwasher --timeout 60 --zip-file fileb://goldwasher-aws-lambda.zip
You can of course replace goldwasher
with your name of choice and 60
with a lower timeout if necessary.
If you later need to overwrite it and the function name already exists on AWS, use this instead:
aws lambda update-function-code --function-name goldwasher --zip-file fileb://goldwasher-aws-lambda.zip
Options
The module accepts the usual parameters of goldwasher-needle with the exception that the url
and options
parameters have been merged. This simply means that the first parameter, url
, has been removed and must instead be added as a property on the options
parameter:
{
url: 'http://github.com',
goldwasher: {
selector: 'h1'
}
}
See how to use this in the examples below or simply paste it as a sample event in the AWS console.
Build
If you feel like changing the code and have installed the development dependencies, you can automatically build a new zip file from the main folder:
gulp zip
This will create a new zip that can be installed with the commands mentioned under installation.
Example
In this example we will show how to consume the Lambda function from a client. First, install the aws-sdk:
npm install aws-sdk
In this example, we will use a config file for our AWS credentials. Remember to replace the values below with your own.
IMPORTANT:
It is extremely important that you do not push this file to your git repository or any other public place. I highly recommend using environment variables instead. I also recommend creating a user on AWS that only has the permission AWSLambdaRole
to run this.
aws-config.json:
{
"accessKeyId": "akid",
"secretAccessKey": "secret",
"region": "us-east-1"
}
example.js:
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
AWS.config.loadFromPath('./aws-config.json');
var lambda = new AWS.Lambda();
lambda.invoke({
FunctionName: 'goldwasher',
Payload: JSON.stringify({url: 'http://google.com'})
},
function(error, data) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
}
console.log(data);
});


Here you can reclaim Lumens that you sent out via email that has not been claimed by the recepient yet.

'Tollbooth' Author Norton Juster Plays Not My Job
NPR - July 21, 2012
Fifty years ago, a young architect named Norton Juster decided to procrastinate by writing a children's book; his roommate, a young cartoonist named Jules Feiffer, did all the illustrations. The result was The Phantom Tollbooth, which has since become a beloved children's classic.
Since Juster knows enough about The Phantom Tollbooth already, we've invited him to answer three questions about The Phantom Menace. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]

Katie Price pushes aside Emily Atack feud to enjoy day out with kids
Katie Price has put her feud with Emily Atack to the back of her mind in order to enjoy a day out with her kids.
That’s right, after hitting back at the Extra Camp host’s STI jibe, the 41-year-old has spent her Saturday out and about with her daughters Princess, 12, and Bunny, five.
Taking to Instagram, the proud mum shared a picture of her brood, who could be seen all wrapped up as they played with two dogs.
In the caption, the former glamour model wrote: ‘Saturdays with my girls, wearing their own range @princessandbunny.co.uk coats & hats.’
Fans were quick to comment and couldn’t help but coo over the little ones.
‘Bunny is getting so big,’ one wrote while another said: ‘Stunning girls. Princess has the best hair she could be in a commercial for Pantene.’

Someone else picked up on the fact the youngest was wearing pink fluffy slip ons, adding: ‘Bunny’s feet must be freezing.’
The star shares Bunny with her ex-husband Keiran Hayler, as well as the tot’s older brother, Jett.
Princess is from her previous marriage to Peter Andre, who she shares 14-year-old son Junior with. Katie is also mum to Harvey Price, 16, who she had while in a relationship with Dwight Yorke.
Katie’s post comes just one day after the mum-of-five took aim at Emily Atack after the actress made a remark about Katie’s sex life on I’m A celebrity’s sister show.
The Inbetweeners star joked that presenters Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas needed to get tested for diseases after plunging into the same pool Katie and peter Andre first kissed in.

Threatening to come to the jungle herself, the 41-year-old spat at the camera: ‘So Emily Atack, you think it’s clever do you to slag me off? Who are you anyway?’

Dressed in a camo print outfit with a rucksack by her side she continued: ‘Looks like I’m coming for you.
‘Because if you’ve got something to say don’t say it behind my back on telly say it to me. Because all the men you’ve been with don’t have good things to say about you.’

Class Minimap
| Defined in: | lib/minimap.coffee |
Overview
The Minimap class is the underlying model of a MinimapElement. Most manipulations of the minimap is done through the model.
Any Minimap instance is tied to a TextEditor
.
Their lifecycle follow the one of their target TextEditor
, so they are
destroyed whenever their TextEditor
is destroyed.
Instance Method Summary
-
Boolean ::canScroll()
Returns
true
when the Minimap can scroll. -
::constructor(options = {})
Creates a new Minimap instance for the given
TextEditor
. - ::destroy() Destroys the model.
-
Number ::getCapedTextEditorScrollRatio()
Returns the
TextEditor
scroll as a value normalized between0
and1
. - Number ::getCharHeight() Returns the height of a character in the Minimap in pixels.
- Number ::getCharWidth() Returns the width of a character in the Minimap in pixels.
- Number ::getFirstVisibleScreenRow() Returns the index of the first visible row in the Minimap.
-
Number ::getHeight()
Returns the height of the whole minimap in pixels based on the
minimap
settings. -
Number ::getHorizontalScaleFactor()
Returns the horizontal scaling factor when converting coordinates from the
TextEditor
to the Minimap. - Number ::getInterline() Returns the space between lines in the Minimap in pixels.
- Number ::getLastVisibleScreenRow() Returns the index of the last visible row in the Minimap.
- Number ::getLineHeight() Returns the height of a line in the Minimap in pixels.
- Number ::getMaxScrollTop() Returns the maximum scroll value of the Minimap.
- Number ::getScrollTop() Returns the current scroll of the Minimap.
-
::getTextEditor()
Returns the
TextEditor
that this minimap represents. -
Number ::getTextEditorMaxScrollTop()
Returns the maximum scroll the
TextEditor
can perform. -
Number ::getTextEditorScaledHeight()
Returns the height of the
TextEditor
at the Minimap scale. -
Number ::getTextEditorScaledScrollLeft()
Returns the
TextEditor::getScrollLeft
value at the Minimap scale. -
Number ::getTextEditorScaledScrollTop()
Returns the
TextEditor::getScrollTop
value at the Minimap scale. -
Number ::getTextEditorScrollRatio()
Returns the
TextEditor
scroll as a value normalized between0
and1
. -
Number ::getVerticalScaleFactor()
Returns the vertical scaling factor when converting coordinates from the
TextEditor
to the Minimap. - Number ::getVisibleHeight() Returns the height the Minimap will take on screen.
- ::isDestroyed()
-
::onDidChange(callback)
Calls the
callback
when changes have been made in the buffer or in the minimap that alter the minimap display. -
::onDidChangeConfig(callback)
Calls the
callback
when changes have been made in the configuration fields of theminimap
package. -
::onDidChangeScrollLeft(callback)
Calls the
callback
when the text editorscrollLeft
value have been changed. -

Calls the
callback
when the text editorscrollTop
value have been changed. -

callback
when this Minimap was destroyed.
Constructor Details
Instance Method Details
::destroy() Source
Destroys the model.
Number ::getCapedTextEditorScrollRatio() Source
Returns the TextEditor
scroll as a value normalized between 0
and 1
.
The returned value will always be strictly between 0
and 1
.
Number ::getFirstVisibleScreenRow() Source
Returns the index of the first visible row in the Minimap.
Number ::getHeight() Source
Returns the height of the whole minimap in pixels based on the minimap
settings.
Number ::getHorizontalScaleFactor() Source
Returns the horizontal scaling factor when converting coordinates from the TextEditor
to the Minimap.
Number ::getScrollTop() Source
::getTextEditor() Source
Returns the TextEditor
that this minimap represents.
Number ::getTextEditorMaxScrollTop() Source
Returns the maximum scroll the TextEditor
can perform.
When the scrollPastEnd
setting is enabled, the method compensate the
extra scroll by removing the same height as added by the editor from the
final value.
Number ::getTextEditorScaledHeight() Source
Returns the height of the TextEditor
at the Minimap scale.
Number ::getTextEditorScaledScrollLeft() Source
Returns the TextEditor::getScrollLeft
value at the Minimap scale.
Number ::getTextEditorScaledScrollTop() Source
Returns the TextEditor::getScrollTop
value at the Minimap scale.
Number ::getTextEditorScrollRatio() Source
Returns the TextEditor
scroll as a value normalized between 0
and 1
.
When the scrollPastEnd
setting is enabled the value may exceed 1
as the
maximum scroll value used to compute this ratio compensate for the extra
height in the editor. Use ::getCapedTextEditorScrollRatio when you
need a value that is strictly between 0
and 1
.
Number ::getVerticalScaleFactor() Source
Returns the vertical scaling factor when converting coordinates from the TextEditor
to the Minimap.
Number ::getVisibleHeight() Source
::isDestroyed() Source
::onDidChange(callback) Source
Calls the callback
when changes have been made in the buffer or in the minimap that alter the minimap display.
::onDidChangeConfig(callback) Source
Calls the callback
when changes have been made in the configuration fields of the minimap
package. As many computation are tied to these configurations this method allow to be notified when these fields changes.
::onDidChangeScrollLeft(callback) Source
Calls the callback
when the text editor scrollLeft
value have been changed.
::onDidChangeScrollTop(callback) Source
Calls the callback
when the text editor scrollTop
value have been changed.

We offer a group booking discount when three or more bikes are serviced together.
Stocking a basic range of genuine top quality parts:
Low overheads mean I can be very competitive on price. I encourage the support of your local shop for larger items like chain/cassettes etc, as there are many different combinations and personal preferences.
Online purchasing is also a popular option. Supply of parts not stocked, can be arranged with a little notice.
Cycle2U is an innovation in customer service with on site or for a small additional fee pickup and delivery can be arranged.


CBC stands for Cipher Block Chaining.
Under this mode the outcome of encrypting earlier blocks flow into the encryption of the current block. Every block of the encrypted text thus depends not only on the associated plaintext block but also on all the previous plaintext blocks. In addition, an initialization block is required for the first plaintext block.
Encryption proceeds as follows:
Decryption proceeds in analogous fashion:
However, this method still has the disadvantage that two messages produce the same encrypted text up to the first difference. In particular, identical messages produce the same encrypted text. To prevent this, "initialization vectors" are used. An initialization vector is a random value which can be transmitted unencrypted with the message. Prior to encryption (or decryption, as the case may be) of the first block, this block is combined with the initialization vector by means of an Exclusive-OR. The procedure then continues as described above.
In the ECB mode, every block is encrypted independently of the other blocks.

Battle Arena Toshinden (1997) A movie review by Serdar Yegulalp (C) 1997 by Serdar Yegulalp
CAPSULE: B.A.T. = B.A.D.
A dirty secret must come out of the closet for this one: I own a PlayStation, and I own the series of videogames that BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN takes its cues from. The games are as addictive and visually seductive as anything you could ask for. They're perfect fodder for being translated into an animated feature, or a live-action one. At least so I thought.
Movies based on videogames are almost always a waste of time, but they can be fun. MORTAL KOMBAT seemed to have been about the best of the bunch, and it was as dim-domed a movie as one could have hoped for, or feared for. It was lively and well-photographed and entertaining. BAT is none of these things: a confused wreck of a story that doesn't handle any of its ingredients well, sports lackluster character design and animation, and also has one of the most unforgiveable dubbing jobs in recent history (if you watch the dubbed version).
BAT even stumbles in the setup for its thin-ice plot. One year ago, a crew of fighters were assembled from around the world to battle for supremacy by a mysterious organization. The match ended with no winners, and now all of the contestants have gone back to their lives. But one of the contestants turns up, apparently now possessed of superhuman strength and speed, and begins either kidnapping or dispatching the other fighters, and causing a good deal of havoc on the side. One of the other contestants, apparently the brother of this shadowy figure, tries to fit the pieces together.
The plot gets distressingly static very quickly. Things happen, but they don't make the story any the more interesting. There are attempts to make us care, but they fall flat. What's worse, I asked myself, a movie that doesn't have those ingredients or that includes them clumsily?
Even though it's only an hour long, this clocks in as one of the most annoyingly underweight anime I've had the displeasure of being subjected to.  Rent GHOST IN THE SHELL and just pretend this mess never existed.
One-half out of four fighting knives.

CHILL FACTOR (Warner Bros.) Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Skeet Ulrich, Peter Firth, David Paymer. Screenplay: Drew Gitlin and Mike Cheda. Producers: James G. Robinson. Director: Hugh Johnson. MPAA Rating: R (violence, profanity, gore) Running Time: 104 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
For nearly 15 minutes, CHILL FACTOR actually warrants comparison to the film it tries so hard to bring to mind. The sequence occurs on a switchback section of highway, where our protagonists -- Mason (Skeet Ulrich) and Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.) -- are trying to escape our villains -- a military unit headed by renegade army man Maj. Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth). Mason is trying to get a dangerous and volatile chemical defoliant known as "Elvis," which must be kept below 50 degrees to avoid a deadly explosion, to a military base, and has commandeered ice cream delivery driver Arlo's truck for the job; Brynner wants to auction the weapon to the highest foreign bidder. As the wreck of a truck rattles along the two-lane highway, the passengers must contend with members of Brynner's team jumping on board, a blown-out section of blacktop over a precipitous fall, and close-encounters with other vehicles. For 15 minutes, it's almost SPEED with a thermometer instead of a spedometer.
During that 15 minute chunk of the film, director Hugh Johnson does everything an action film director needs to do, offering plenty of close calls and nervous laughter. Unfortunately, those 15 minutes occur smack in the middle of the film, between 45 minutes of excruciating introductory exposition and 45 minutes of alternatingly absurd and tedious conclusion. The burst of action seems like it's going to be the payoff for sitting through one of the longest, least interesting prologues to an action film _ever_, a prologue which lays out Brynner's feud with "Elvis's" creator (David Paymer) in exhaustive detail. Then, almost before you get a chance to enjoy the few thrills CHILL FACTOR can provide, it sends Mason and Arlo on a leisurely paddle down the river so they can bond over their past mistakes. And it's all downstream from there.
It might have been at least remotely worth sitting through all that exposition if the characters or performances hadn't made you want everyone involved to end up chemically defoliated. Cuba Gooding Jr. is rapidly turning into one of the most aggravating Oscar-winning actors in history, a one-note performer who widens his eyes and tightens his jaw to express practically every emotion (the direction of the corners of his mouth is the only hint as to his mood). His work in CHILL FACTOR borders on the embarrassing, a frantic collection of over-the-top reactions that would make Martin Lawrence and Chris Tucker blush. Skeet Ulrich could only hope to register an emotion of any kind, using a flat delivery for even flatter lines. And Colin Firth squints and rasps his way through the villain role, never quite sure whether he should be a moustache-twirling melodrama baddie or tormented soldier with shattered patriotism.
The absence of a sympathetic hero and solid villain damage an action film, but they're not always fatal. It can even get away with ridiculous plot developments, like the idea that a toxic chemical gas could be contained inside a traffic tunnel by blowing up both sides of the tunnel (creating the ever-effective pile-of-rubble vacuum seal). But there is no way an action film can get away with so little action. CHILL FACTOR just sits there, inert, for nearly its entire running time, even forgetting during its best moments to remind us of the status of its key plot element's rising temperature. It's hard to believe that a film this weightless would waste so much time on setting up the premise, then never exploit the premise. If you want to want to imagine CHILL FACTOR -- and imagine why it's not even worth the time of a true-blue action fan -- think of SPEED, with 90 minutes of the film set at a bus stop.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 dry ices: 3.

Marks the response stale by setting the Age header to be equal to the maximum age of the response.
| getAge | ( | ) |
Returns the age of the response.
| getCharset | ( | ) |
Retrieves the response charset.
| getContent | ( | ) |
Gets the current response content
| getDate | ( | ) |
Returns the Date header as a DateTime instance.
When no Date header is present, the current time is returned.
| \RuntimeException | when the header is not parseable |
| getEtag | ( | ) |
Returns the literal value of ETag HTTP header.
| getExpires | ( | ) |
Returns the value of the Expires header as a DateTime instance.
| getLastModified | ( | ) |
Returns the Last-Modified HTTP header as a DateTime instance.
| getMaxAge | ( | ) |
Sets the number of seconds after the time specified in the response's Date header when the the response should no longer be considered fresh.
First, it checks for a s-maxage directive, then a max-age directive, and then it falls back on an expires header. It returns null when no maximum age can be established.
| getProtocolVersion | ( | ) |
Gets the HTTP protocol version.
| getStatusCode | ( | ) |
Retrieves status code for the current web response.
| getTtl | ( | ) |
Returns the response's time-to-live in seconds.
It returns null when no freshness information is present in the response.
When the responses TTL is <= 0, the response may not be served from cache without first revalidating with the origin.
| getVary | ( | ) |
Returns an array of header names given in the Vary header.
| hasVary | ( | ) |
Returns true if the response includes a Vary header.
| isCacheable | ( | ) |
Returns true if the response is worth caching under any circumstance.
Responses marked "private" with an explicit Cache-Control directive are considered uncacheable.
Responses with neither a freshness lifetime (Expires, max-age) nor cache validator (Last-Modified, ETag) are considered uncacheable.
| isFresh | ( | ) |
Returns true if the response is "fresh".
Fresh responses may be served from cache without any interaction with the origin. A response is considered fresh when it includes a Cache-Control/max-age indicator or Expiration header and the calculated age is less than the freshness lifetime.
| isNotModified | ( | Request $ | request | ) |
Determines if the Response validators (ETag, Last-Modified) matches a conditional value specified in the Request.
If the Response is not modified, it sets the status code to 304 and remove the actual content by calling the setNotModified() method.
| isValidateable | ( | ) |
Returns true if the response includes headers that can be used to validate the response with the origin server using a conditional GET request.
| mustRevalidate | ( | ) |
Returns true if the response must be revalidated by caches.
This method indicates that the response must not be served stale by a cache in any circumstance without first revalidating with the origin. When present, the TTL of the response should not be overridden to be greater than the value provided by the origin.

Sends HTTP headers and content.
| sendContent | ( | ) |
Sends content for the current web response.
| sendHeaders | ( | ) |
Sends HTTP headers.

Number Three of Ten Movies That Shook Wanniski
Memo To- Website browsers, fans & clients From- Jude Wanniski http://www.polyconomics.com Re- Ten movies that helped shape my life: #3
One at a time, in the weeks ahead, I'll list here the ten films that most shaped my life. These are not my favorite films. They are the movies I've seen that have had the greatest influence on my thinking, my character, my life. Some are favorites that I enjoy watching over and over again, which you can tell as you read each entry. Try to think of your own experiences with film s and how they influenced the course of your life. It makes life more interesting to be aware, as you live it, to know how things such as books and films and magazine articles alter your path in significant ways. Sometime last year the Sunday NYTimes "Arts and Leisure" section had a piece on how difficult it is to think of a movie that may have changed history. The only movie they could think of was a silent film by D.W. Griffith, Birth of a Nation, which had a scene about the KuKluxKlan that the author believes changed national thinking about the KKK. How silly. Each of the ten films listed here changed my history, and if I had not seen them, I would not have helped change history in the ways that I have. Films don't move masses. They move individuals who move masses.
3. "An American in Paris." (1951) There is no motion picture I've watched more than this MGM classic musical, easily a hundred times without exaggeration. Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in a love story that made me dizzy when I first saw it in raging adolescence (15). The music is George Gershwin, my entry point to classical music. If I had to have one movie on a desert island, this would be it. It is flawless. There is no scene in it that is less than the others, no number I can decide is my favorite of all. Oscar Levant is priceless in a supporting role. George Guetary's "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise," stoked my raging adolescence with every step. Gene Kelly plays a GI who stayed in Paris after the war to learn how to paint. When he sees Leslie Caron in a smoky nightclub, he is hit by the old lightning bolt, and pursues her until the movie's glorious finish. When she asks why, if he says he is such a great artist, he is not famous, he asks her to be patient. "Civilization," he says, "has a natural resistance to improving itself." In the years that followed, whenever I've been discouraged about my progress in moving the world in the direction I wish it to go, I think of that line and why it must be so.

“Miss Stein likes to look at rocks and cows in the intervals of her writing. The two ladies drive around in their Ford till they come to a good spot.  If the cow doesn't seem to fit in with Miss Stein's mood, the ladies get into the car and drive on to another cow. When the great lady has an inspiration, she writes quickly, for about fifteen minutes. But often she just sits there, looking at cows and not turning a wheel.”
A splendid example of the intersection of cows and literature, from a 1934 New Yorker profile of Gertrude Stein quoted in Daily Routines (How writers, artists, and other interesting people organise their days), an excellent new blog. Among those so far included are Franz Kafka, Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and Anthony Trollope. Neither Dobson nor Pebblehead has yet been attended to, and I may have to deal with those two titans myself.
