| void | stimer_set (struct stimer *t, unsigned long interval) |
| Set a timer. | |
| void | stimer_reset (struct stimer *t) |
| Reset the timer with the same interval. | |
| void | stimer_restart (struct stimer *t) |
| Restart the timer from the current point in time. | |
| int | stimer_expired (struct stimer *t) |
| Check if a timer has expired. | |

| unsigned long | stimer_elapsed (struct stimer *t) |
| The time elapsed since the timer started. |
The stimer library provides functions for setting, resetting and restarting timers, and for checking if a timer has expired.
An application must "manually" check if its timers have expired; this is not done automatically.
A timer is declared as a struct
stimer
and all access to the timer is made by a pointer to the declared timer.
| unsigned long stimer_elapsed | ( | struct stimer * | t | ) |
| int stimer_expired | ( | struct stimer * | t | ) |
Check if a timer has expired.
This function tests if a timer has expired and returns true or false depending on its status.
| t | A pointer to the timer |
Definition at line 125 of file stimer.c.
Referenced by uip_ds6_periodic().
| unsigned long stimer_remaining | ( | struct stimer * | t | ) |
The time until the timer expires.
This function returns the time until the timer expires.
| t | A pointer to the timer |
Definition at line 141 of file stimer.c.
Referenced by uip_nd6_ra_input().
| void stimer_reset | ( | struct stimer * | t | ) |
Reset the timer with the same interval.
This function resets the timer with the same interval that was given to the stimer_set() function. The start point of the interval is the exact time that the timer last expired. Therefore, this function will cause the timer to be stable over time, unlike the stimer_restart() function.
| t | A pointer to the timer. |
| void stimer_restart | ( | struct stimer * | t | ) |
Restart the timer from the current point in time.
This function restarts a timer with the same interval that was given to the stimer_set() function. The timer will start at the current time.
| t | A pointer to the timer. |
| void stimer_set | ( | struct stimer * | t, |
| unsigned long | interval | ||
| ) |
Set a timer.
This function is used to set a timer for a time sometime in the future. The function stimer_expired() will evaluate to true after the timer has expired.
| t | A pointer to the timer |
| interval | The interval before the timer expires. |

How Kieffer Moore has revitalised Wales and why Hungary will be the biggest night of his career
The striker is expected to lead the line in Cardiff having scored two goals in four games for Wales
by Ian MitchelmoreKieffer Moore says Wales' winner takes all clash with Hungary on Tuesday night will be the biggest game of his career.
The Wigan striker scored the opening goal in his side's 2-0 win over Azerbaijan, a result that - along with Croatia's 3-1 triumph against Slovakia - means Wales' destiny is in their own hands.
Ryan Giggs' men will qualify for Euro 2020 if they beat Hungary at Cardiff City Stadium.
And Moore admits the occasion will be the greatest of his career to date.
"It will rank the biggest. There is everything on the line," he said.
“We have done our job and now it is all preparation and recovery for a massive game.
“I know we are going to get supported by the fans because they are amazing at home, and away.
“If I get to play I will give it my all when I step over the line and hopefully Tuesday is going to be successful and we qualify."
Moore's early header in Baku means he now has two goals in his four caps for Wales.
Giggs' troops are yet to lose a game in which the towering striker has played, with Wales currently on a five-game unbeaten streak ahead of Tuesday's crunch qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium.
And Moore admits his style has been hugely beneficial for the likes of Daniel James and Gareth Bale.
“They say some nice things. I just need to keep going and keep bringing the ball down and supplying them with the ball," he added.
“Obviously they are massive attacking threats if I can giving the ball to them, it stands us in good stead.
“I am very suited to the way this team sets up and plays.
“As you can see I am reaping the rewards and working hard for the team as well.
“There are better players around me, no disrespect, and the runs I am making and the balls there, it is a lot easier for me.
“I will do anything for the team, put my body around.”
Wales host Hungary in Cardiff at 7:45pm on Tuesday.

Call a RPC method of this GameObject on remote clients of this room (or on all, inclunding this client).
Remote Procedure Calls are an essential tool in making multiplayer games with PUN. It enables you to make every client in a room call a specific method.
RPC calls can target "All" or the "Others". Usually, the target "All" gets executed locally immediately after sending the RPC. The "*ViaServer" options send the RPC to the server and execute it on this client when it's sent back. Of course, calls are affected by this client's lag and that of remote clients.
Each call automatically is routed to the same PhotonView (and GameObject) that was used on the originating client.
See: Remote Procedure Calls.

[gecode-users] How to write with Gecode a constraint similar to distinct but with absolute value of values : distinct ( |variables|).
Bouchene Sabrina
genius_linda1987 at yahoo.fr
Sat Oct 25 11:25:19 CEST 2014
Hi,
I want to use "alldifferent" constraint or a "distinct" constraint but in my case, i have a matrix M and i would that the elements (values) of the row of a matrix be different, but the variables of the row can have positive and negative values, so i would have a constraint that for example:
if row = 1 then the absolute values of M[1, j] could be all different, that means, if i have M[1,1]=(-3), i should not get M[1,j] =(+3) for j =1 to n. so in the same row or in the same column if i have (val) i must not have (-val) or if i have (-val) i mast not have (val).
alldifferent (|M[i, j]|).
My question is how to write this constraint in Gecode ?.I hope my question was clear.
Best regards. Sabrina

When plotting a normal curve, it is often helpful to color (or shade) some segments. For example, often we might want to indicate whether an absolute value is greater than 2.
How can we achieve this with ggplot2
? Here is one way.
First, load packages and define some constants. Specifically, we define mean, sd, and start/end (z-) value of the area we want to shade. And your favorite color is defined.
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
##
## Attaching package: 'dplyr'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
##
## filter, lag
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
##
## intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
mean.1 <-0
sd.1 <- 1
zstart <- 2
zend <- 3
zcritical <- 1.65
my_col <- "#00998a"
Next, we build a sequence from 3sd left to 3sd right to the mean. Along this sequence (for each value) we will compute the density of the normal curve. The data will be used for plotting the curve and the shaded area(s).
x <- seq(from = mean.1 - 3*sd.1, to = mean.1 + 3*sd.1, by = .01)
MyDF <- data.frame(x = x, y = dnorm(x, mean = mean.1, sd = sd.1))
Then, we define a “shading” function which does the shading job.
shade_curve <- function(MyDF, zstart, zend, fill = "red", alpha = .5){
geom_area(data = subset(MyDF, x >= mean.1 + zstart*sd.1
& x < mean.1 + zend*sd.1),
aes(y=y), fill = fill, color = NA, alpha = alpha)
}
Now we plot it:
p1a <- ggplot(MyDF, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_line() +
shade_curve(MyDF = MyDF, zstart = -1, zend = 1, fill = my_col, alpha = .3) +
shade_curve(MyDF = MyDF, zstart = 1, zend = 2, fill = my_col, alpha = .5) +
shade_curve(MyDF = MyDF, zstart = -2, zend = -1, fill = my_col, alpha = .5) +
shade_curve(MyDF = MyDF, zstart = 2, zend = 6, fill = my_col, alpha = .7) +
shade_curve(MyDF = MyDF, zstart = -3, zend = -2, fill = my_col, alpha = .7) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = -3:3) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = NULL) +
theme_classic() +
ylab("") + xlab("")
p1a
OK. Another nice feature would be have printed the cumulative percentages for each shaded segment.
For that purpose, let’s add a variable with the cumulative density.
MyDF %>%
mutate(y_cdf = cumsum(y)) -> MyDF
But we are only interested in some quantiles. So let’s filter these and kick out the rest.
MyDF %>%
filter(x %in% c(-3, -2.58, -2, -1.65, -1, -.5, 0, .5, 1, 1.65, 2, 2.58, 3)) -> MyDF_filtered
Now, let’s add the cumulative percentages for some quantiles of interest.
p1a + geom_text(data = MyDF_filtered,
aes(x = x, y = y + .1, label = paste(round(y_cdf, 0),"%")),
check_overlap = TRUE) +
geom_segment(data = MyDF_filtered,
aes(x = x, xend = x, y = 0, yend = y), linetype = "dashed")

Roy Whitney returns as Tsuut'ina chief following election win
by Sammy HudesA longtime former chief of the Tsuut’ina Nation is returning to the job.
Roy Whitney defeated incumbent candidate Lee Crowchild in Wednesday’s election after receiving a majority of votes, a spokesperson for Tsuut’ina Nation confirmed.
Whitney originally served as chief for 17 years, from 1984 to 2001.
In 2012, he defeated five-term chief Sandford Big Plume and served again until he was defeated by Crowchild in the 2016 election.
“I am humbled at the renewed mandate given to me by the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation. I commit to them that I will work tirelessly, with respect and transparency, to further their interests, to respect the social and natural environment, and promote our language, history and culture,” Whitney said in a statement Thursday.
“I want to formally and sincerely thank Lee Crowchild for his dedicated work for Tsuut’ina. In the days ahead I intend to quickly meet with the new council to set our priorities and a work plan to see progress on the many initiatives that Tsuut’ina has underway, and to move the goalposts on new initiatives to better the lives of current and future Tsuut’ina people.”
Whitney was at the helm in 2013 when the Tsuut’ina Nation agreed to a deal with the province for construction of the southwest ring road, which included $340 million in cash and a land swap to make way for the project.
“Along with the benefits of rent and land development, the real motivation is to allow future generations of people to work and flourish here,” he said at the time.
“We’ve always been a proud people, but pride won’t buy you a cup of coffee without a plan.”
The ring road is scheduled to open in 2021.
Crowchild, who served one term as chief, is the son and grandson of two former influential chiefs; Gordon Crowchild, who served from 1970 to 1976, and David Crowchild, whose name graces Calgary’s Crowchild Trail and who served seven years as chief following his 1946 election.
The third-generation chief previously held roles on the Nation as director of public works, emergency management and infrastructure.
Others elected to the Tsuut’ina council:
- Kelsey Big Plume
- Paula Big Plume
- Stanley Big Plume
- Emmett Crowchild
- Steven Crowchild
- Vincent Crowchild
- Brent Dodginghorse
- Lawrence Lyle Dodginghorse
- Corrine Eagletail
- Leon Littlelight
- Shay Runner

During the installation, we'll integrate your cloud into our management platform so that we can maintain your service once it has gone live.
Your service will be handed over to you when your project manager can confirm that the testing has proved successful and that you can provision VMs in your environment.
At this time, your service will be considered live and monthly billing will commence.
Maintaining your environment
We'll monitor the end-to-end solution for alarms, including your hardware issues and failures.
We'll perform routine maintenance and diagnostics and will liaise with your hardware maintenance provider where necessary.
If necessary, we'll coordinate the swapping out of any failed hardware and notify you of any service-affecting maintenance through our change control and notification procedures.
As your service needs grow, we'll work with you to coordinate the installation of any additional hardware and network requirements.
Your responsibilities - location
Your UKCloud Hosted responsibilities
- If your engineers will require access to manage and maintain the hardware you will need to ensure they are booked in to visit UKCloud DCs. This can be done by raising a Service Request via the My Calls section of the UKCloud Portal. Note that due to the secure nature of the site, at least 24 hours' notice is required. Engineers must be escorted and this is charged at a SFIA day rate.

Yes, in principle, that's what you have to do. However, each ReCoNode
contains a counter _alt that stores the alternative this node
currently represents. So if you commit to alternative 1, you'd have
to push a ReCoNode with _alt = 1. You will have to change some
interfaces there in order to be able to set _alt.

Yes, that should work.

Do you mean when i=1? Or do you mean a different j?
I would guess that if the nodes don't have the correct alternative
stored in them, this can already be a problem. Another problem is
that you will need at least one copy somewhere on the stack. That's
the second argument to rcs.push. If there is no copy, recomputation
does not work. So your first call to push should look like this
rcs.push(cur, cur->clone());
I hope you'll get it working using these hints.
Cheers,
Guido

动名词短语
在前面我们已经讲解了第一种非谓语动词，分词。今天我们继续来看第二种非谓语动词，动名词。
一、动名词短语
所谓动名词，就是动词的ing形式。在句子中我们常称之为动名词短语。
动名词短语，相当于名词从句中that从句的简化。任何一个that从句，都可以用动名词短语代替。
动名词具有名词的性质。名词能作什么，动名词就能作什么。比如，
- Many people pretend that they understand modern art.
在这句话中，宾语从句可以改为动名词短语。
- Many people pretend understanding modern art.
在改成动名词短语后，动名词的逻辑主语可以很清楚的看出就是people。
1.1、动名词作主语
动名词具有名词的性质，在没有特指是谁发出这个动作的情况下，可以不考虑其逻辑主语。因为在语境中一眼就能看出是谁发出的动作。
Working 12 hours a day exhausts me completely.
That I work 12 hours a day exhausts me completely.
每天工作12小时让我筋疲力尽。
Playing football is my favorite sport.
That I play football is my favorite sport.
踢足球是我最喜欢的运动。
动名词作主语时，和名词从句一样，也可用形式主语It取代，然后将动名词放在句子主干之后（尤其是动名词短语比较长时）。但只有在it is no use结构中，真正的主语仍为动名词。在其它结构中，真正的主语是不定式短语。
It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him.
Pretending that I had not seen him was no use, so I waved to him.
That I pretend that I had not seen him was no use, so I waved to him.
若再装作没看见他已是没有用了，我只好向他招手。
动名词短语作主语时，一律视为第三人称单数。但当and连接两个动名词短语作主语时，视为复数。
Singing with you guys is a lot of fun.
和你们一伙人唱歌很有趣。
Learning English and listening to music are my hobbies.
学英语和唱歌是我的爱好。
造句练习（注：鼠标选中空白处有惊喜哦）：
慢跑是保持健康的好方法。
Jogging is a good way to stay health/fit.
That you jog is a good way to say health/fit.与你共事一直以来都是越快的经历。（用完成进行态）
Working with you has been a pleasant experience.
It has been a pleasant experience to work with you.说是一回事，做又是另一回事。
Saying is one thing, doing is another.
That you say is noe thing, that you do is another.出国旅游有助于增长你的见识。
Travelling abroad helps broaden your horizons.
That your Travel abroad helps broaden your horizons.做家务和照顾我们的小孩是我老婆每天做的事。
Doing the housework and taking care of our children are what my wife does every day.
It’s what my wife does every day to do the housework and take care of our children.学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous.
That you learn without that you think is useless, That you think without that you learn is dangerous.相信自己是成功的秘诀！
Believing in yourself is the secret of success.
That you believe in yourself is the secret of success.拥有知己本身就是一种幸福。
Having intimate friends is happiness in itself.
取胜并不重要，但努力去赢得胜利却是重要的。
Winning is not everything, but trying to win is everything.
拥有目标是一种幸福的状态。
Having a goal is a state of happniess.
牛奶已撒，哭也没用。
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
光学习不实践是没用的。
It is no use learning without practice.
从事自己喜欢的事情没用，你必须喜欢自己从事的事情。
It is no use doing what you like, you have got to like what you do.
1.2、动名词作宾语
作及物动词的宾语
I love traveling in the country, but I don’t like losing my way.
I love that I travel in the country, but I don’t like that I lose my way.
我喜欢在乡间旅行，但是不喜欢迷路。
Losers avoid becoming self-responsible.
Losers avoid that they become self-responsible.
失败者逃避为自己负责。
作介词的宾语
My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars.（on和后面的动名词短语一起，作kept的宾语）
My friends kept on that they offer me cigarettes and cigars.
我的朋友们不断地向我递香烟和雪茄。
Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once.
Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without that they come up for breath even once.
有些孩子能够跑完游泳池的全长而不用露出水面换气。
以下动词，其后只能用动名词作宾语，而不能用不定式。
- 懂得欣赏 克制想象。“懂得”即understand，“欣赏”即appreciate（该词还可作“感激”之意解），“克制”即deny（该词也可作“否认”、“拒绝”之意），“想象”即imagine。
- 喜欢实践 逃避抵抗。“喜欢”即enjoy，“实践”即practice，“逃避”即avoid/escape，“抵抗”即resist。
- 介意打扰 讨厌原谅。“介意”即mind，“打扰”即excuse，“讨厌”即dislike/hate，“原谅”即pardon。
- 支持建议 推迟考虑。“支持”即favor（该词也可作“赞成”，“宠爱”），“建议”即suggest，“推迟”即delay / postpone，“考虑”即consider。
- 情不自禁 完成冒险。“错过”即miss，“盼望”即look forward to，“完成”即finish，“冒险”即risk。
以下含有介词to的动词短语，也是只能用动名词作宾语。
- look forward to期待
- object to反对
- be/get used to习惯于
造句练习（注：鼠标选中空白处有惊喜哦）：

Most children enjoy watching cartoons.
很多大学毕业生正考虑在寻找工作前先去度个假。

你能想象被困在交通阻塞中超过3小时吗？
Can you imagine being caught in traffic jam for over three hours?
我盼望不久再见到您。再见。
I look forward to seeing you again soon. Goodbye.
1.3、动名词作表语
The subject of life is making choices.
The subject of life is that people make choices.
人生的课题就是做选择。
Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do.
勇气就是去做自己害怕做的事情。
补充：动名词也可作同位语（较少见的用法）
Many people admire his special ability, learning three languages at the same time.
很多人都羡慕他的特殊能力，同时学习3中预言。
My hobby swimming dates from my childhood.
我的业余爱好游泳源于我的童年。
二、动名词短语的逻辑主语
当动名词短语的主语和句子的主语不一致时，就必须加上动名词的逻辑主语。动名词短语的逻辑主语的构成方式为：所有格 + 动名词。比如，
- I remember that he promised to help these poor students.
如果将这个句子改成，
- I remember promising to help these poor students.
就是一个错误的句子。因为在这样的语境中，promising这个动名词，会被默认为是“我”发出的动作，这显然是不符合句意的。此时，必须给动名词加上逻辑主语，
- I remember his promising to help these poor students.
原则上，如果主语是代词，通常用所有格，但如果主语是名词，则用所有格和普通格都正确。
His not finishing the work disappointed me.
That he not finished the work disappointed me.
他未能准时完成工作让我失望。
Would you mind my coming with you?
Wold you mind that I come with you?
你介意我和你一起去吗?
Excuse my interrupting you.
Excuse that I interrupting you.
请原谅我打断你。
注：在美式英语中，可以使用主格（动名词作主语），或宾格（动名词作宾语）代替所有格。所以，上述3个例句可以改成：
- He not finishing the work disappointed me.
- Would you mind me coming with you?
- Excuse me interrupting you.
当出现下列情况时，即使是在正式文体中，动名词的逻辑主语也习惯使用普通格：
逻辑主语为名词指物。
The children are looking forward to spring coming.
孩子们期待着春天的到来。
逻辑主语为多个名词。
Do you remember Mary and her mother coming to see us last June？
你还记得玛丽和她的妈妈去年6月来看我们吗？
逻辑主语是以“s”结尾的名词。
It’s a disaster the bosses shutting all those factories.
老板关掉了所有的工厂这简直是一场灾难。
逻辑主语与动名词分离。
I remember mother once telling us a story about the fox.
我记得妈妈曾经给我们讲过一个关于狐狸的故事。
逻辑主语为不定代词，如：someone, everything, something。
They complained about everything going wrong.
他们抱怨所有的事情都出错了。
造句练习（注：鼠标选中空白处有惊喜哦）：
我记得他曾经承诺，一旦我们遇到麻烦（get into trouble）他就会来帮助我们。
I remember his/him once promising to help us if we got into trouble.
老师拒绝接受我的建议让我很恼火。
My teacher’s refusing to accept my suggestion upset me.
三、动名词短语的时态和语态变化
动名词短语，没有“时”的变化，只有“态”的变化，而且也只有一般态和完成态。此外，和分词短语一样，动名词短语也有主动和被动两种语态。
当动名词的动作和主句主语的动作同时发生时，用一般态。如果是表示被动的含义，则要用被动语态。（注：动名词短语如果是being，任何时候都不能省略）
No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements.（一般态，被动语态）
没有人能避免受广告的影响。
Everyone appreciates being appreciated.（一般态，被动语态）
每个人都喜欢得到赞赏。
There is only one thing in the world worst than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
世界上比被人议论更糟糕的一件事，就是根本没人去议论。

人爱着有力，爱人者勇。
当动名词的动作，发生在主句动作之前时，要用完成态。（但动名词具有名词性质，时态要求没有分词那么严格，此时用一般态也不算错误）
No good thing can be enjoyed by us, without having cost labor.（完成态，主动语态）
No good thing can be enjoyed by us, without costing labor.
不付出辛劳，我们就不能享受任何美好的事物。
I appreciate having been given the opportunity to study abroad two years ago.（完成态，被动语态）
我很感激两年前得到一次出国留学的机会。
下面两个短语为固定搭配，虽然是主动形式，但却是被动含义。
sth. need doing（某事需要被做）
The classroom is so dirty that it needs cleaning thoroughly.
教室很脏，需要彻底清洁。
sth. be worth doing（某事值得被做）
By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was worth rescuing.
这个时候，一架状态良好的lancaster轰炸机是值得被救的。
以下为特殊句型需要注意：
Would you mind + V-ing?（不需要注意时态）
Would you mind my opening the window? It’s very hot in here.
你介意我打开窗户吗？这里太热了！
Do you mind + V-ing?（不需要注意时态）
Do you mind hading me that book?
你介意把那本书给我吗？
Would you mind if + 句子（虚拟语气：一般过去时）
Would you mind if I smoked here?
你介意我在这里抽烟吗？
Do you mind if + 句子（真实语气：一般现在时）
Do you mind if I smoke here?
你介意我在这里抽烟吗？
造句练习（注：鼠标选中空白处有惊喜哦）：
这台电视机开关的声音在大街上都能被听到。
The noise of the television being opened and closed can be heard in the street.
我一直后悔上学时没有更加努力的学习。
I have always regretted not having sudied harder at school.
墙角处的那个人承认对这家公司的经理撒了谎（tell a lie）。
The man in the corner confessed to having told a lie to the manager of company.
马克每次违反交通规则（break traffic regulation）以后都常常试图逃避被罚款。
Mark often attempts to escape being fined whenever he breaks traffic regulations.
我们的现代文明决不能被认为（be thought of as）是短期内建立的。
Our modern civilization must not be thought as having been created in a short period of time.
你介意我提一个建议吗？
Would you mind my/me making a suggestion.

Consider you have following a project with the following directories where you kept your all the files including Node.js main file index.js and all the modules installed locally.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 13 12:42 images
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30457 Mar 6 12:19 index.htm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30452 Mar 1 12:54 index.js
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 15 03:48 node_modules
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 21 06:10 scripts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 11:56 style
To package the above project, you simply need to go inside this directory and issue the following jx command, assuming index.js is the entry file for your Node.js project:
$ jx package index.js index
Here you could have used any other package name instead of index, I used it because I want keep my main file name as index.jx. However, above command will pack everything and will create following two files:
index.jxp This is an intermediate file whcih contains complete project detail needed to compile the project.
index.jx This is the binary file having complete package and ready to be shipped to your client or in your production environment.

Laboratory
In the Laboratory you can research and improve new technologies. Research is
generated by unused computing power. Researches in the "In Progress" column
are researched, those in the "Backlog" are not.
Starting research
What to focus when starting:
-
Better Researching: The first level can boost your research
progress
-
Honey: You probably want more Honey, so get some level of
this
-
Corvette: This unlocks further fleet upgrades, But be sure not
to let your resource production fall behind.
-
Scavenger: This is usefully if you play active and can take
advantage of extra resources.
-
Frigate: Unlock a new ship and add 7 max naval capacity.
Free naval capacity is good.
- Warriors: When you need more naval capacity.
-
Telescope: After defeating the first enemy you will need
this to find more powerfull enemies.


Property based testing 101
Yet another testing talk?
People already said a lot about testing
Why do we test?
Property Based Testing success stories
How many tests are enough?
Unit Testing vs Property Based Testing
- What does unit, integration, system etc tests have in common?
- Example based vs Property based
What is property?
- length(list) == length(reverse(list))
- assert reverse(reverse(list)) equals list
- assert reverse(list)[k] equals list[length(list)-k]
Generator
list <- generate_list
- [1]
- [-1, 3, 5]
- [-50, -10, 3, 14, 25, 100]
- etc
Shrinking
Let's assume reverse function that will remove element 42 if found
- Failed: [-10, -8, ..., 42, ... 87, 100]
- Shrinking...
- Minimal failing test case: [42]
Sample test
- list <- generate_list
- k <- generate_int(0, length(list)-1)
- assert length(reverse(list)) equals length(list)
- assert reverse(reverse(list)) equals list
- assert reverse(list)[k] equals list[length(list)-k]
Why should I care?
Bad stuff?
- Time consuming
- Learning curve

Managing Connections Using the C (libcouchbase) SDK with Couchbase Server
This section describes how to connect the C SDK to a Couchbase cluster and bucket. It contains best practices as well as information on the connection string, SSL and other advanced connection options.
RBAC and the SDK
Couchbase Server 5.0 Enterprise Edition introduced 6.0@server:learn:security/authorization-overview.adoc. In order to access cluster-resources, programs, including those supported by the Couchbase SDK, must authenticate with Couchbase Server, and so be identified as existing users, each associated with one or more roles. Authentication requires the passing of credentials; which consist of a username and (in most cases) a password. Users may be defined either locally to Couchbase Server, or externally (for example, by means of an LDAP server).
Once authentication has succeeded, an authorization process checks the roles associated with the identified user. If role-associated privileges correspond to the level of resource-access requested by the user, access is duly granted; otherwise, it is denied.
Creating a handle
A library handle is created using the lcb_create()
function which accepts an out-pointer to a handle and a parameters structure specifying some core options.
lcb_t instance = NULL;
lcb_create_st options;
memset(&options, 0, sizeof options);
options.version = 3;
options.v.v3.connstr = "couchbase://<IP_ADDRESS>/my-bucket";
options.v.v3.username = "jo";
options.v.v3.passwd = "s3cr3t";
lcb_error_t rc = lcb_create(&instance, &options);
if (rc != LCB_SUCCESS) {
printf("Couldn't create handle: %s\n", lcb_strerror(NULL, rc));
}
You can specify additional options when connecting to the cluster by using the connection string. It indicates to the client where cluster nodes may be found and how to connect to them. Note that it is common to other Couchbase SDKs as well as the command-line client. The connection string uses a URI-like format familiar to what is used in other database systems.
|
From Couchbase C SDK 2.9.1,
If using Docker Swarm, or otherwise running the SDK inside the NAT, then you will want to disable with The Note that any SSL/TLS certificates must be set up at the point where the connections are being made. The Couchbase SDKs will honor any valid SSL/TLS certificates. |
Because the C SDK is used as a foundation for other SDKs, it allows for a common connection specification over all those other SDKs.
| See Client Settings for the C (libcouchbase) SDK with Couchbase Server, which contains some additional connection string options. |
When creating a new handle, you can also specify an alternate event loop plugin to use. This is required if you want to use your library in non-blocking mode with your existing non-blocking application.
Once your handle has been instantiated you may configure it additionally using the lcb_cntl()
family of functions.
Note that a successful lcb_create
invocation does not mean the handle has been connected to the bucket, but rather that memory has been allocated for the handle so that it may be connected in subsequent calls.
Connecting a handle
Once a handle has been instantiated it should be connected. Connecting a handle involves performing the following steps:
-
Calling
lcb_connect
to schedule the connection. -
Yielding to network I/O, either explicitly via
lcb_wait
or implicitly by returning control to the event loop -
Retrieving the connection status via
lcb_get_bootstrap_status
. If running in non-blocking mode, installing the bootstrap callback (lcb_get_bootstrap_callback
) should have a similar effectlcb_error_t rc; rc = lcb_connect(instance); if (rc != LCB_SUCCESS) { /* Couldn't schedule connection. Internal issue or problem with the socket */ printf("Couldn't schedule bootstrap!: %s\n", lcb_strerror(NULL, rc)); lcb_destroy(instance); } lcb_wait(instance); rc = lcb_get_bootstrap_status(instance); if (rc != LCB_SUCCESS) { printf("Bootstrapping failed: %s\n", lcb_strerror(NULL, rc)); lcb_destroy(instance); }
Always check the return value of lcb_get_bootstrap_status
to ensure the handle is properly connected.
Performing operations on a non-bootstrapped handle will fail with LCB_CLIENT_ETMPFAIL
.
Handle lifetime
The lcb_t
object (commonly referred to as instance) represents a connection between your application and a Couchbase bucket.
Because the bucket itself may consist of several TCP connections, and because there is a substantial amount of CPU and kernel overhead in creating and destroying these connections, it is recommended that lcb_t
objects be kept alive for the lifetime of the application rather than creating and destroying them frequently.
Once the lcb_t
is no longer required, you can call lcb_destroy()
on it.
The handle should not be destroyed within a callback as it will likely cause it to crash.
Additionally, memory leaks may occur if there are pending uncompleted operations (e.g.
lcb_get3
, lcb_store3
).
Configuring the handle
Once the handle is created, it may be configured by the lcb_cntl
and lcb_cntl_string
functions.
Connecting with SSL
You can specify additional options when connecting to the cluster by using the connection string. It indicates to the client where cluster nodes may be found and how to connect to them. Note that it is common to other Couchbase SDKs as well as the command-line client. The connection string uses a URI-like format familiar to what is used in other database systems.
Couchbase Sever features the ability to have clients communicate securely via SSL.
To use SSL, you need Couchbase Server Enterprise 3.0 or later (not available in the Community Edition).
-
Obtain the SSL certificate used by the Cluster
-
Make the certificate available to the file system of the client host.
-
Employ the
couchbases://
scheme for the connection string. -
Specify the local path to the certificate as the value for the
certpath
field.
To connect to a bucket on an SSL-enabled Cluster at the node <IP_ADDRESS>, with the certificate saved as /var/cbcert.pem
:
couchbases://<IP_ADDRESS>?certpath=/var/cbcert.pem
Specifying Multiple Hosts
You can specify multiple hosts in the connection string so that the client may be able to connect even if the cluster topology changed. To specify multiple hosts, separate them using a comma:
couchbase://host1.com,host2.com,host3.com
See Failure Considerations for the C (libcouchbase) SDK in Couchbase for more information about handling cluster topology changes.
| You are not required to enumerate or pass all Couchbase cluster nodes to the client. The client only needs to know about a single node which is a member of the cluster. Once the client has connected to the node, it will query that node about the cluster topology, which in turn contains information about all Couchbase nodes and the services they contain. |
Using DNS SRV records
As an alternative to specifying multiple hosts in your program, you can get the actual bootstrap node list from a DNS SRV record. The following steps are necessary to make it work:
-
Set up your DNS server to respond properly from a DNS SRV request.
-
Enable it on the SDK and point it towards the DNS SRV entry.
Your DNS server should be set up like this (one row for each bootstrap node):
_couchbase._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node1.example.com. _couchbase._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node2.example.com. _couchbase._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node3.example.com.
| The ordering, priorities, ports and weighting are completely ignored and should not be set on the records to avoid ambiguities. |
If you plan to use secure connections, you use _couchbases
instead:
_couchbases._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node1.example.com. _couchbases._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node2.example.com. _couchbases._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 0 node3.example.com.
In the above example, you would specify couchbase://example.com
as the bootstrap host, and the library would check for the record.
If no such record exists, it will treat example.com
as an ordinary bootstrap node and try to bootstrap from it.
Note that if you pass more than one bootstrap host, DNS SRV lookup will not be attempted, and the hosts will be interepreted as normal Couchbase nodes.
Configuration Cache
In environments when lots of short-lived connections are made to Couchbase (for example, a small command-line utility or a fork-and-execute CGI application) the overhead in actually bootstrapping the client may be significant. This is because the client must retrieve the configuration from the cluster, and involves several additional TCP requests and in many cases an additional TCP connection.
You can bypass the initial network bootstrap phase by using the config_cache
directive in the connection string.
The config_cache
option accepts a path to a local file (the file should not exist when using for the first time).
When performing the bootstrap process, the client will first check the contents of the given file to see if it contains an existing cluster configuration, and if it does, will use the file as the bootstrap source.
If the file does not contain a configuration the client will then retrieve the configuration from the network and then write it to the file, so that future attempts will use the configuration file.
The config_cache feature is intended only for short-lived connections.
During a cluster-side topology change the client will need to retrieve the configuration from the network as the file-based configuration will become invalid.
|
Additional Options
You can pass additional options in the connection string using the URL query format: couchbase://location-info?option1=value1&option2=value2&optionN=valueN
.
A list of options may be found in Client Settings


I’m a data scientist educated in theoretical physics with solid experience in the retail and travel industries.
I’m currently based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Prior to moving to Canada, I was previously in Singapore leading the data science team for Roomorama, a vacation rentals aggregator focused on Asian properties.
My experience in retail was formed and refined back in Manila, where I led the product development and data-driven growth of Deal Grocer and BeautyMNL.
I built BeautyMNL from zero lines of code, to the product launch, and further on to its immense growth. BeautyMNL is now the biggest beauty ecommerce site in the Philippines.
I helped Deal Grocer become massive as well through the use of data and plain, old-fashioned, business sense. It is now the biggest deals site for the high-end market in the Philippines.
As for my education, I got my masters degree in Theoretical Physics from Ateneo de Manila University. My masters thesis was about applications of Clifford Algebra with electromagnetic polarization. It got published in an international physics journal (see here).
After finishing my graduate studies, I became a researcher at The Manila Observatory. Along with a team from Kyushu University in Japan, we applied computational physics to find correlations with, and see if we can predict, earthquakes by detecting changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
I’m a lifetime lover of books, an avid traveler, intellectual conversations over coffee, and I’m constantly improving my craft outside the workplace.

Cards
Creatures
There are 6 keywords:
- Breakthrough: deal excess damage to the opponent.
- Charge: can attack the same turn it is summoned.
- Drain: when attacking, heals the player when doing damage.
- Guard: must be attacked first.
- Lethal: kills any creature it damages.
- Ward: prevent first damage to the creature.
And 3 possible additional abilities:
- Modify player's health.
- Modify opponent's health.
- Increase number of cards player draws next turn.
Items
There are 3 types of items:
- Green: which can be used on the player's creatures - they usually increase their stats and/or add keywords.
- Red: which can be used on the opponent's creatures - they usually reduce their stats and/or remove keywords.
- Blue: which can be used on the opponent's creatures or directly on the opponent.
List of Cards
Draft Phase
During the draft phase (first 30 turns) player constructs their decks by choosing one of the three proposed cards each turn. The choices of the opponent are unknown.
Battle Phase
During the battle phase (all remaining turns), both player takes their turns alternatively, red first. During its turn the player can do any number of the following action types (asumming the actions are legal):
- Summon a creature from the hand to the chosen lane of the board (which costs mana).
- Use an item on an appropriate target (friendly creature, opponent's creature, or the opponent itself), which also costs mana.
- Make friendly creature on board attack opponent creature on the same lane or the opponent (which is free).
Cards which are legal to play from the hand depend on the actual amount of mana points, which restores to the maximum at the beginning of every turn. This maximum increases each turn up to 12. Second player has one bonus mana point that he can spend at any turn.
At the beginning of each turn, the current player draws cards from the deck (usually one) if his hand is not full (8 cards max). The content of the hand is visible only to the hand's owner. Content of the board and player data (health, mana, etc.) is visible to everyone.
Each creature can only attack once per turn and (unless it has the charge keyword) it cannot attack the same turn it is placed.
When creature attacks other creature both defenses are reduced by opponent's attack values. Creatures with defense 0 or less are immediately removed from the board. When creature directly attacks the player, its attack is substracted from the player's health.
The goal of the game is to reduce opponent's health to 0.

What is WordPress?
Official description from WordPress.org
WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. We like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.
Why are we learning it?
WordPress is a free, open-source, web-based software.
WordPress core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers. People all around the world contribute to WordPress by either submitting bug fixes, testing, designing or writing code for the software.
WordPress is a website building framework
WordPress is a platform for building and designing a website.
Wordpress: The Three Components
- Server-side code (PHP) and Database (MySQL)
- Content Management System and Dashboard
- Access to Themes and Plugins
What is a content management system?
A CMS is a program that allows site owners to manage their site content via an easy-to-use admin or dashboard.
CMS

WordPress.org vs. WordPress.com
| WordPress.org |
WordPress.com |
| Web software used to build a website on a hosting account with a domain name. |
A free blogging service that allows people to create a blog hosted on WordPress.com's servers. |
| Sites can be built and modified using themes, plugins or custom code. |
Hosting is free (although there are some for-pay add-ons), theme choices are limited, plugins can not be installed and code can not be modified. |
Security
Being popular means you're a target
It is important to take security seriously when running a site that uses a CMS.
Security
- Do not use "admin" as a username. "admin" used to be the default WordPress username. Use a unique username and a very strong Password.
- Save your username and password in a safe place!

Cornerstone Panel: Layout
To build a page, we must start with the Layout tab.
The Layout tab enables us to:
- add sections
- save or upload templates
- view the "skeleton" mode
Layout is the default tab when we first open Cornerstone.
Layout: Sections
All content must be contained in sections.
- Sections are containers for rows.
- Rows are containers for columns.
- Columns are containers for Elements.
Does "container", "row" and "column" ring a bell?
Yes, Cornerstone has a built-in grid system!
Thus, in order to add HTML elements to our page, we must have at least a section, row, and column.
Layout: Add a Section
- Add sections from scratch or from saved templates.
- Give your section an appropriate name: "Home Section"
- Click the inspect icon to format the section.
- You can now add additional rows.
- Inspect a row to format its child column(s).
- With columns set, Elements can be dragged and dropped into them.
- The section's dropdown arrow can now display all its nested children, aka skeleton mode.
Layout: Row, Columns, Breakpoints
Once a row is added, you can designate how skinny or wide its child columns are. You can even give custom widths to the columns.
Rows have built-in breakpoints. Use this feature first!
Only when the built-in styling fails should you next Inspect the item to Customize; if that fails, then add Media Queries. More on this later.
Layout: Skeleton Mode
Skeleton mode is helpful for easily naming/renaming, duplicating, moving and removing sections and any child(ren).
Skeleton mode also allows us to quickly jump to different content on the page.
Elements
- Super easy way to add sliders, images, text, accordions, and so much more!
- Simply drag and drop the element you would like to use to the section on your page.
- You can always add classes and styling with CSS.
- Rule of thumb: try to find an element that will work for your project, before you resort to building a content area.
Watch here!
Elements: Content Area
The "Content Area" or "Raw Content" element (depends on the version of Cornerstone allows us to:
- add custom HTML
- add plugin shortcodes
- create elements where Cornerstone elements fall short or do not work
- add great lists and tables
Inspector: Naming Conventions
- Always give sections a class, and use the name of the page + the section, e.g. class="about-hero-section"
- Choose a name that lets developers know what the content is, not the styling.
- Use classes, not ID's
- Inspector is incredibly helpful for naming content area elements!

Responsive Design
- Figuring out the size of the design is important!
- Build scaffolding first
- How many columns will each device use?
Watch here!
Figuring Out the Size of the Design
- Always check to see what size your designs are!
- From there, you can use proportions to figure out what size everything should be.

Build Mobile First
Design assets often include a mobile design.
- Have the designs open for comparison and contrast.
- Build one section at a time.
- See how the section changes across screen sizes.
- Use the Layout tab to designate breakpoints for the row.
- Only when the row's built-in breakpoints fail should you next Inspect the item to Customize; if that fails, then add Media Queries.
Media Queries
Breakpoints are built into Cornerstone's sections, rows, columns, elements.
- Use the built-in defaults in Layout first.
- If Layout fails, then Inspect to Customize the breakpoint visibility.
- If that fails, give the item a class.
- If the item is global, enter its Media Queries in Global CSS.
- If the item is specific to a page, enter its Media Queries in Content CSS.
Using your dev tools to find selectors
- Adding your own class names to Cornerstone won't always allow you to select the elements you need to style.
- WordPress adds classes to divs and other elements automatically.
- Luckily, you can use your dev tools to figure out the class names that are added by Cornerstone!
Watch here!
Dev Tools vs. Cornerstone Styling
Sometimes no matter how you test the styling of a selector in Dev Tools and apply it in the Global CSS or Content CSS for that selector, NOTHING changes!
If you have the correct selector and its style DOES change in the Dev Tools site preview and DOES NOT change in Cornerstone, then it is time to use !important
to override default styling built into Cornerstone.
selector {
property: value !important;
}
