1.3 Working with probabilities
In the previous section we saw two different interpretations of probability: long run relative frequency and subjective. Fortunately, the mathematics of probability work the same way regardless of the interpretation. Furthermore, even with subjective probabilities it is helpful to consider what might happen in a simulation.
1.3.1 Consistency requirements
With either the long run relative frequency or subjective probability interpretation there are some basic logical consistency requirements which probabilities need to satisfy. Put loosely, probabilities cannot be negative and the sum of probabilities over all possible outcomes must be 100%.
Example 1.4 As of Sept 3, FiveThirtyEight listed the following probabilities for who will win the 2020 World Series.
| Team | Probability |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 31% |
| New York Yankees | 10% |
| Houston Astros | 9% |
| Tampa Bay Rays | 9% |
| Other |
According to FiveThirtyEight (as of Sept 3):
- What would you expect the results of 10000 repetitions of a simulation of the World Series champion to look like? Construct a table summarizing what you expect. Is this necessarily what would happen?
- What must be the probability that the Dodgers do not win the 2020 World Series?
- What must be the probability that one of the above four teams is the World Series champion?
- What must be the probability that a team other than the above four teams is the World Series champion? That is, what value goes in the “Other” row in the table?
Solution. to Example 1.4
Show/hide solution
While these particular probabilities are subjective, imagining probabilities as relative frequencies often helps our intuition. If we think of this as a simulation, each repetition results in a World Series champion and in the long run we would expect the Dodgers would be the champion in 31%, or 3100, of the 10000 repetitions.
Team Winner Los Angeles Dodgers 3100 New York Yankees 1000 Houston Astros 900 Tampa Bay Rays 900 Other 4100 Total 10000 Of course, there would be some variability from simulation to simulation, just like in the sets of 1000 coin flips in Figure 1.3. But the above counts represent about what we would expect.
69%. Either the Dodgers win or they don’t; if there’s a 31% chance that the Dodgers win, there must be a 69% chance that they do not win. If we think of this as a simulation with 10000 repetitions, each repetition results in either the Dodgers winning or not, so if they win in 3100 of repetitions then they must not win in the other 6900.
59%. There is only one World Series champion, so if say the Dodgers win then no other team can win. Thinking again of the simulation, the repetitions in which the Dodgers win are distinct from those in which the Yankees win. So if the Dodgers win in 3100 repetitions and the Yankees win in 1000 repetitions, then on a total of 4100 repetitions either the Dodgers or Yankees win. Adding the four probabilities, we see that the probability that one of the four teams above wins must be 59%.
41%. Either one of the four teams above wins, or some other team wins. If one of the four teams above wins in 5900 repetitions, then in 4100 repetitions the winner is not one of these four teams.
Example 1.5 Suppose your subjective probabilities for the 2020 World Series champion satisfy the following conditions.
- The Astros and Rays are equally likely to win
- The Yankees are 1.5 times more likely than the Astros to win
- The Dodgers are 2 times more likely than the Yankees to win
- The winner is as likely to be among these four teams — Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, Rays — as not
Construct a table like in Example 1.4 of your subjective probabilities.
Solution. to Example 1.5
Show/hide solution
Here, probabilities are specified indirectly via relative likelihoods. We need to find probabilities that are in the given ratios and add up to 100%. It helps to designate one outcome as the “baseline”. It doesn’t matter which one; we’ll choose the Astros.
- Suppose the Astros account for 1 “unit”. It doesn’t really matter what a unit is, but let’s say it corresponds to 1000 repetitions of the simulation. That is, the Astros win in 1000 repetitions. Careful: we haven’t yet specified how many total repetitions we have done, or how many units the entire simulation accounts for. We’re just starting with a baseline of what happens for the Astros.
- The Astro and Rays are equally like to win, so the Rays also account for 1 unit.
- The Yankees are 1.5 times more likely than the Astros to win, so the Yankees account for 1.5 units. If 1 unit is 1000 repetitions, then the Yankees win in 1500 repetitions, 1.5 times more often than the Astros.
- The Dodgers are 2 times more likely than the Yankees to win, so the Dodgers account for \(2\times 1.5=3\) units. If 1 unit is 1000 repetitions, then the Dodgers win in 3000 repetitions.
- The four teams account for a total of \(1+1+1.5+3 = 6.5\) units. Since the winner is as likely to among these four teams as not, then “Other” also accounts for 6.5 units.
- In total, there are 13 units which account for 100% of the probability. The Astros account for 1 unit, so their probability of winning is \(1/13\) or about 7.7%. Likewise, the probability that the Dodgers win is \(3/13\) or about 23.1%.
| Team | Units | Repetitions | Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 3.0 | 3000 | 23.1% |
| New York Yankees | 1.5 | 1500 | 11.5% |
| Houston Astros | 1.0 | 1000 | 7.7% |
| Tampa Bay Rays | 1.0 | 1000 | 7.7% |
| Other | 6.5 | 6500 | 50.0% |
| Total | 13.0 | 13000 | 100.0% |
You should verify that all of the probabilities are in the specified ratios. For example, the Dodgers are 2 times more likely (\(2 = 23.1 / 11.5\)) than the Yankees to win, and the Yankees are 1.5 times more likely (\(1.5 \approx 11.5 / 7.7\)) than the Astros to win.
We could have also solved this problem using algebra. Let \(x\) be the probability, as a decimal, that the Astros are the winner. Then \(x\) is also the probability that the Rays are the winner, \(1.5x\) for the Yankees, and \(3x\) for the Dodgers. The probability that one of the four teams wins is \(x + x + 1.5x + 3x = 6.5x\), so the probability of Other is also \(6.5x\). The probabilities in decimal form must sum to 1 (that is, 100%), so \(1 = x + x + 1.5x + 3x + 6.5x = 13x\). Solve for \(x=1/13\) and then plug in \(x=1/13\) to find the other probabilities.
Example 1.5 illustrates one way of formulating subjective probabilities. We start by specifying probabilities in relative terms, and then “normalize” these probabilities so that they add up to 100%. As in the problem, it helps to consider one outcome as a “baseline” and to specify all likelihoods relative to the baseline.
1.3.2 Odds
The words “probability”, “chance”, “likelihood”, and “odds” are colloquially treated as synonyms. However, in the mathematical language of probability, odds provide a different way of reporting a probability. Rather than reporting probability on a 0% to 100% scale, odds report probabilities in terms of ratios.
Example 1.6 In Example 1.4 the odds that the Yankees win the World Series are 9 to 1 against.
- What do you think that “9 to 1 against” means?
- What are the odds of the Yankees not winning?
- What are the odds of the Dodgers winning?
- What are the odds of one of the Other teams winning?
- The Philadelphia Phillies have 50 to 1 odds against winning. What is the probability that the Phillies win the World Series?
Solution. to Example 1.6
Show/hide solution
The probability that the Yankees win is 0.1, so the probability that they do not win is 0.9. These numbers are in a 9 to 1 ratio: the probability of not winning (0.9) is 9 times greater than the probability of winning (0.1). So the odds against the Yankees winning the World Series are 9 to 1; “against” because the Yankees are less likely to win than to not win.
The probabilities are still in the 9 to 1 ratio, but we can say that the odds are 9 to 1 in favor of the Yankees not winning. We could also say the odds are 1 to 9 in favor of the Yankees winning, but odds are typically reported with the larger value first — 9 to 1 instead of 1 to 9.
The probability that the Dodgers win is 0.31 and that they don’t win is 0.69, and \(0.69/0.31 \approx 2.2\). So the odds are 2.2 to 1 against the Yankees winning; “against” because the Yankees are less likely to win than to not win. Odds are often reported as whole numbers, so we could say the odds are 11 to 5 against the Dodgers winning.
The probability that an Other team wins is 0.41 and that an Other team doesn’t win is 0.59, and \(0.59/0.41 \approx 1.44\). So the odds are 1.44 to 1 against an Other team winning.
The probability that the Phillies do not win is 50 times greater than the probability that they do win. Let the event that the Phillies win account for 1 “unit” so that the event that they do not win accounts for 50 units, for a total of 51 units. So the probability that the Phillies win is \(1/51\approx 0.02\). Note that the probability of not winning, 50/51, is 50 times greater than the probability of winning.
You could also solve this with algebra. Let \(x\) be the probability that the Phillies win, so \(50x\) is the probability that they don’t win. The probabilities must sum to 1, so set \(x + 50x = 1\) and solve for \(x\).
The odds of an event is a ratio involving the probability that the event occurs and the probability that the event does not occur. Odds can be expressed as either “in favor” of or “against” the event occurring.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{odds in favor} & = \frac{\text{probability that the event occurs}}{\text{probability that the event does not occur}} \\ & \\ \text{odds against} & = \frac{\text{probability that the event does not occur}}{\text{probability that the event occurs}}\end{aligned} \]
In some situations odds are typically reported as odds against. While the odds of an event is a just a single number, odds are often reported as a ratio of whole numbers, e.g., 11 to 1, 7 to 2. In Example 1.6 the odds against the Dodgers winning the World Series are 2.2, which can be reported as 11 to 5 odds (against).
As discussed at the end of Section 1.2.2 bets can be used to discern probabilities or odds.
Example 1.7 Ron and Leslie agree to the following bet. They’ll ask Professor Ross if he has a TikTok account. If he does, Leslie will pay Ron $200; if not, Ron will pay Leslie $100. (Neither has any prior information about whether or not Professor Ross has a TikTok account.)
- Given this setup, which of the following is being judged as more likely: that Professor Ross has a TikTok account, or that he does not? Why?
- What are this bet’s odds?
- Ron and Leslie agree that this is a fair bet, and neither would accept worse odds. What is the subjective probability that Professor Ross has a TikTok account?
- Suppose they were to hypothetically repeat this bet many times, say 3000 times. Given the probability from the previous part, how many times would you expect Leslie to win? To lose? What would you expect Leslie’s net dollar winnings to be? In what sense is this bet “fair”? (Remember: Leslie’s winnings are Ron’s losses and vice versa.)
Solution. to Example 1.7
Show/hide solution
- The larger potential payout corresponds to the less likely event. So Professor Ross is more likely to not have a TikTok account than to have one.
- The payouts are in a 2 to 1 ratio, so the odds that Professor Ross has a TikTok account are 2 to 1 against.
- The odds that Professor Ross has a TikTok account are 2 to 1 against, so Professor Ross is twice as likely to not have a TikTok account than to have one. This corresponds to a subjective probability4 that Professor Ross has a TikTok account of 1/3 (and a probability that he does not have one of 2/3).
- The probability that Leslie wins is 1/3, so you would expect her to win in 1000 of the 3000 repetitions. She wins $200 each time she wins, so you would expect her to win a total of $200,000 on games she wins. The probability that she loses is 2/3, so you would expect her to lose in 2000 of the 3000 repetions. She loses $100 each time, so you would expect her to lose a total of $200,000 on the games she wins. So you would expect Leslie’s net winnings to be 0, and likewise for Ron. The bet is fair in the sense that neither party is expected to profit or lose in the long run.
The previous example illustrates that the odds of a fair bet on whether or not an event will occur imply a probability for the event.
\[\begin{align*} \text{probability that event occurs} & = \frac{\text{odds in favor of the event}}{1+\text{odds in favor of the event}}\\ & \\ & = \frac{1}{1+\text{odds against the event}} \end{align*}\]
Regardless of the interpretation — long run relative frequency or subjective — probabilities must follow basic logical consistency requirements. If these requirements are mistakenly not satisfied, bad things can happen.
Example 1.8 Donny Don’t thinks the Dodgers have a pretty good chance to win the World Series. He thinks their only real competition is the Yankees. The following are Donny’s subjective probabilities for which team will win the World Series.
| Team | Probability |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 50% |
| New York Yankees | 25% |
| Other | 10% |
- What is wrong with Donny’s probabilities?
- What are Donny’s odds that the Dodgers win? (Consider only Donny’s probability that the Dodgers win.)
- Would Donny agree to a bet where he pays you $100 if the Dodgers win but you pay him $100 if the Dodgers do not win?
- What are Donny’s odds that the Yankees win? Would Donny agree to a bet where he pays you $150 if the Yankees win but you pay him $50 if the Yankees do not win?
- What are Donny’s odds that a team other than the Dodgers or Yankees wins? Would Donny agree to a bet where he pays you $180 if an other team wins but you pay him $20 if the winner is either the Yankees or Dodgers?
- Suppose you and Donny agree to make all of the bets in the three previous parts. Consider your net profit for each of the outcomes (Dodgers win, Yankees win, other wins). What do you notice?
Solution. to Example 1.8
Show/hide solution
Donny’s probabilities do not add up to 100%.
Donny’s odds that the Dodgers win are \(\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1\), or even odds
Donny believes that the Dodgers are equally likely to win as to not win so, yes, he would agree to this bet.
Donny’s odds that the Yankees do not win are \(\frac{0.75}{0.25}=3\), or 3 to 1 odds against the Yankees winning. Donny believes that the Yankees are 3 times more likely to not win than to win. Since the payouts are in a 3 to 1 ratio with the larger payout corresponding to the Yankees winning (the less likely event), then Donny would agree to this bet.
Donny’s odds that an other team does not win are \(\frac{0.9}{0.1}=9\), or 9 to 1 odds against an other team winning. Donny believes that an other team is 9 times more likely to not win than to win. Since the payouts are in a 9 to 1 ratio with the larger payout corresponding to an other team winning (the less likely event), then Donny would agree to this bet.
Given Donny’s odds for each outcome, he would agree to each of these bets.
- If the Dodgers win, you win the first bet but lose the other two, so your net profit is 100 - 50 - 20 = 30.
- If the Yankees win, you win the second bet but lose the other two, so your net profit is 150 - 100 - 20 = 30
- If an other team wins, you win the third bet but lose the other two, so your net profit is 180 - 100 - 50 = 30.
Regardless of the outcome, you are guaranteed to earn a net profit of $30. That’s free money for you with no risk, and pretty bad business on Donny’s part.
The previous problem contained an example of a “Dutch book”. A Dutch book5 is a set of probabilities and bets which guarantees a profit, regardless of the outcome of the gamble. Probabilities that fail to satisfy logical consistency requirements allow for the possibility of Dutch books. The fact that no one should ever want to get caught in a Dutch book, like Donny was in the previous problem, is used to justify why even subjective probabilities should satisfy logical consistency requirements.
Technically, Ron and Leslie could still have different subjective probabilities. Leslie would not agree to worse odds, but she would accept better if Ron offered them. For example, given a potential loss of $200, Leslie would also agree to a potential payout from Ron of $125 rather than $100. That is, Leslie would accept odds of 1.6 to 1 against (\(200/125 = 1.6\)), corresponding to a subjective probability of 0.385 (\(1/(1 + 1.6)\)) . So Leslie’s subjective probability that Professor Ross has a TikTok account is at least 1/3. Similarly, Ron’s subjective probability that Professor Ross has a TikTok account is at most 1/3.↩

The Real Reason Why You’re Putting Off Christmas Shopping
We are frozen by anxiety into a state of inactivity
by Sally BakerChristmas is a complex, emotionally loaded mix of romanticised mythology and pragmatic reality with the giving and receiving of gifts at the core of most peoples’ secular festivities.
It’s not as though we don’t know Christmas is coming (it’s on the same day every year, right?) and yet some of us still leave gift shopping until the last minute.
Why do people put off Christmas shopping?
Christmas shopping is not as simple as ticking people off from an annual obligation list. If it were, then people would shop efficiently with time to spare. Even during the manic seasonal run-up.
Instead, many of us procrastinate.
We are frozen by anxiety into a state of inactivity. Fearing each purchase we plan to make, worried about how our gifts will be judged by the recipients.
It has to say something
At its simplest, a gift is an expression of attention, love and affection in an age where people struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Current economic uncertainty increases financial stress, and many people are so time-poor that it’s almost impossible to sustain care for themselves, let alone caring for others.
So the gift is left to say it all and, therefore, it has to speak volumes. It has to be profound and eloquent, and provide evidence of all of the subtlest feelings inarticulately stumbled over – or omitted – during the previous twelve months.
Plus gifts have to come in on budget and be most likely given to people who probably don’t actually need any more ‘things’ in their life. No wonder so many of us panic and leave Christmas shopping right until the last minute.
Great expectations
And it’s not as if the presents we finally choose are terrible. It’s just that the portent of the gift – the significance we have imbued it with can rarely if ever, be fully realised – however beautifully wrapped it is.
If you really want to give a long term gift, work on the deeper issues at play by talking through any relationship issues with a professional and nail that work-life balance before 2020 kicks off.

LA BUCHE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Empire Pictures Director: Daniele Thompson Writers: Christopher Thompson, Daniele Thompson Cast: Sabine Azema, Emmanuelle Beart, Charlotte Gainsbourgh, Claude Rich, Francoise Fabian, Christopher Thompson, Jean-Pierre Darroussin
Daniele Thompson is a clever writer. His script for "Cousin, Cousine" a quarter century ago--about two people married to others who become cousins by marriage and go beyond the kissing stage--was a piercing comedy of the sort with which the French excel. Then his longer "Queen Margot," a huge production based on the Dumas novel of events surrounding the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 16th Century Frnace, boasted strong performances by Isabelle Adjani and Daniel Auteuil together with striking decor. His first feature film as a director, though, is a disappointment. "La Buche," which means "yule log" in English, focusses on a family's rituals on the days immediately preceding Christmas--the holiday which is supposed to be the happiest of the year but which most of know often serves as a display of celebrants' bitter disappointments, frustrations, and depression.
 While he declares that he also "wanted to make a movie unlike any other, even unlike the ones I love," he overstates his ambition because while "La Buche" is well above the level of a TV tale, the mingling of the characters' loves and losses are neither compelling nor unique. The screenplay by the director and Christopher Thompson does not give major French performers like the lovely Emmanuell Beart and the energetic Sabine Azema much for us to care about. These are for the most part bourgeois people who appear so insular that events outside their immediate circle appear to have no impact on them. They are wrapped up in their petty memories, and those recollections may not prove especially inviting to their movie audience.
Not that these personalities are poorly developed. Through the usual fixation of French film makers on talk talk talk, we learn plenty about them. Louba (Sabine Azema) is the most vigorous, a singer of those Russian songs that are performed over and over to tourists, the types of folks who might go to Ireland hoping to hear "Danny Boy" yet another time as though the Emerald Isle produced nothing else of import. When she is not singing and dancing or chasing the franc by giving Russian lessons during the day, she is enjoying an affair with the married Gilbert (Jean-Pierre Darroussin) who (guess what) is not about to leave his wife and kids. Sonia (Emmanuelle Beart) is not the sort of person we can sympathize with, though she is on the verge of a breakdown as she undergoes a painful divorce. She's rich, beautiful, and spoiled, even smashing a bottle of champagne on the floor while conducting a tantrum. Charlotte Gainsbourgh plays the standard-issue gamin, the young sister who simply cannot come to terms with Christmas as the holiday makes her face the loneliness she covers up during the rest of the year.
All of the situations and memories of this family are fairly typical of quite a few of the world's middle-class people, though the Parisians like to think that their affairs are uniquely French. If the people in the tale do not inspire, at least Robert Fraisse's camera spotlights a colorful City of Lights at holiday time, its stores crammed with an abbondanza of gifts.

Venice flooding hits second highest level ever
Flooding in the Italian city of Venice has reached its second-highest level ever, after the infamous 1966 floods.
The high-water mark hit 74in late on Tuesday, meaning more than 85% of the city was flooded.
The highest level recorded was 78in in 1966.
Venice’s mayor blamed climate change for the “dramatic situation” and called for a speedy completion of a long-delayed project to construct offshore barriers.
Called Moses, the moveable under-sea barriers are meant to limit flooding of the lagoon city, caused by southerly winds that push the tide into Venice.
Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said the flood levels represent “a wound that will leave indelible signs”.

| complete | function(message) | inform Egnyte UI that your app finished what it was doing and it can be closed. message will be shown to the user as a notification. Ending the app by just calling window.close() is not recommended and will not close the app if it works in an iframe. |
In CommonJS/Node if you already loaded the SDK to the Egnyte variable, just use a separate reference for the plugin:
var Egnyte = require("egnyte-js-sdk")
var UIntegrate = require("egnyte-js-sdk/plugins/UIntegrate")
UIntegrate.appInit(function(uint){
//use the uint object to interact with Egnyte UI and/or APIs
})
UI Integration Framework uses postmessage
for communication.
To make sure other messages will not get mixed with others, it uses a specific format for them. If your app is using postmessage
to receive JSON data, make sure you ignore non-JSON messages like this:
try {
JSON.parse(message);
}catch(e){
//it failed to parse, please ignore
}


 Do whatever is necessary for you to decide whether the situation will be livable for you. Get a sense of whether you're getting into a sweet new pad or a real "fixer-upper." How many unit tests are there? What is the average cyclomatic complexity per method? Methods per class? Lines per method? Who lived here before? Where are they now? Why?
What other questions should you ask in this sort of situation?

ForcedTimeout can be used to simulate a timeout. It can be useful to interrupt a blocking call.
class ForcedTimeout : NoCopy
{
....
public:
ForcedTimeout();
~ForcedTimeout() { clear(); }
bool clear();
// functions
Function<void (void)> function_abort();
Function<void (void)> function_abort_int();
Function<void (void)> function_abort_any();
};
Lets consider an example.
ForcedTimeout fto; Ticker ticker(fto.function_abort_int()); ticker.start(3_sec); Sem sem; sem.take(100_sec); Printf(Con,"done #;\n",fto.clear());
In this example we create the ForcedTimeout object. Then we take one of abort functions, provided by the object, and create and start a Ticker. The ticker will call this function after the 3 seconds delay. Abort function interrupts any call of a timed blocking synchronization object method. In the example we are using the Sem. Without ForcedTimeout the call sem.take(100_sec) would block the execution for 100 seconds. Abort function is interrupting the wait after 3 seconds.
Three variants of the abort function are called from different execution contexts: function_abort() from a task context, function_abort_int() from the interrupt context and function_abort_any() from everywhere.
Only timed variants of blocking methods can be interrupted.
An abort function sets the forced timeout state for the task. If this state is on, the task cannot be timed blocked, and any timed block is released.
The method clear() can be used to clear the forced timeout state from the task. The return value is this state, before is is cleared.
ForcedTimeout destructor clears the forced timeout state.

EARTH
|
|
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor and support life. About 29.2% of Earth's surface is land consisting of continents and islands. The remaining 70.8% is covered with water, mostly by oceans, seas, gulfs, and other salt-water bodies, but also by lakes, rivers, and other freshwater, which together constitute the hydrosphere. Much of Earth's polar regions are covered in ice. Earth's outer layer is divided into several rigid tectonic plates that migrate across the surface over many millions of years, while its interior remains active with a solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates Earth's magnetic field, and a convective mantle that drives plate tectonics.

mercury
|
| Mercury is the smallest planet in the Slar System and the closest to the Sun. Its orbit around the Sun takes 87.97 Earth days, the shortest of all the Sun's planets. It is named after the Roman god Mercurius (Mercury), god of commerce, messenger of the gods, and mediator between gods and mortals, corresponding to the Greek god Hermes (Ἑρμῆς). Like Venus, Mercury orbits the Sun within Earth's orbit as an inferior planet, and its apparent distance from the Sun as viewed from Earth never exceeds 28°. This proximity to the Sun means the planet can only be seen near the western horizon after sunset or the eastern horizon before sunrise, usually in twilight. At this time, it may appear as a bright star-like object but is often far more difficult to observe than Venus. From Earth, the planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, which recurs over its synodic period of approximately 116 days. |


I used to work as a research assistant in Los Angeles where I designed and built screen-based experiments for testing computational models human cognition. I often found that the subtleties of my experiment's interface could alter participants' responses. That was a frustrating realization for someone trying to test a mathematical model, but it was also how I discovered the field of interaction design.
Now I am residing in Seattle, and completing a master's degree in human-computer interaction at University of Washington. I am interested in information visualization, education, inclusive design, and tool development.

As if this season hasn't been painful and discouraging enough for us Cubs fans, it's gotten a little bit worse. The "silver lining" of an historically bad season is a higher draft pick. Well, with the Cubs becoming the last team in baseball to win three games in a row and sweeping the Astros, they have dropped to the #3 pick slot.
I am to the point where I don't want to see anything good come to this team for the rest of the season. They have failed me all season long and on Sunday, it about made me sick to my stomach to see them hopping around and celebrating a walk-off win against the worst team in baseball. A team 18 games under .500 in July should not celebrate anything.
I don't mean to throw the young guys and the role players under the bus, but I can't help but to associate this team with the overpaid and underperforming veterans. The players that are so awful that the Cubs would consider eating 3/4 of the remaining 54 million on a contract with three years left on it. Or the players that would reject a trade heading into the July 31st trade deadline because they don't want to move their family from Chicago, even though the family goes back to the Dominican Republic in early August and the Cubs are on the road until August 5th.
Yes, I'm punishing Darwin Barney because I don't want to see Soriano or Ramirez celebrate. They are part of the reason that the Cubs have one of the highest payrolls in baseball, yet one of the worst records. Kurt is usually the voice that rails about the payroll, but it is discouraging to see the Pirates in 1st place when the Cubs' payroll is 177% greater.
So now this team will probably go on a little run. We'll see some smiles and they'll talk about "getting on track". We'll see the Cubs' position in the 2012 draft drop further. Worse, we'll see Jim Hendry act like what he's put together is starting to work. What we won't see is the Cubs make the moves necessary to turn this organization around.
There's my negative outlook for the day. I'll be more positive when the Cubs return to their losing ways.

A tiny, fast, beautiful Geometry Dash API for Node.js and the browser
npm install gd.js
(or yarn add gd.js
)
You don't need anything else for modern browser compatibility.
For Node.js, also npm install node-fetch
(or yarn add node-fetch
).
For older browsers, also npm install whatwg-fetch
(or yarn add whatwg-fetch
) and require()
/import
it before gd.js
. For example:
import 'whatwg-fetch';
import Client from 'gd.js'; // Yay! Compatibility!
For both older browsers AND Node.js, npm install isomorphic-fetch
and require()
/import
it before gd.js
. For example:
require('isomorphic-fetch');
const GD = require('gd.js');
Although ECMAScript Modules are used internally, UMD exports are used for compatibility with all platforms. If you want to force ECMAScript Module exports, use 'gd.js/esm'
. Typically, this isn't necessary, as bundlers will automatically use ES Modules if possible.
import GD from 'gd.js/esm';
If you want to use a CDN, you can add the following tag to your HTML to create a global GD
class.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/gd.js"></script>
Documentation was a top priority for this project, so it should be excellent. If you use TypeScript or any IDE that can read .d.ts
files, autocomplete should also be great. That being said, it can be hard to know where to start, so this should act as more of a guide.
gd.js
exports a single class Client
, but I like importing it as GD
. Make sure you've followed all the additional installation instructions regarding fetch()
as well!
const GD = require('gd.js');
ES modules:
import GD from 'gd.js';
Now you should create an instance of this class to create your client.
const gd = new GD();
You can also pass in a configuration to the constructor. This should be an object and can include the following keys:
logLevel
, which should be one of 0, 1, or 2. 0 = no logging, 1 = warnings, 2 = debug/verbose. 1 by default.
dbURL
, which should point to the base database URL. Defaults to the official Geometry Dash servers at http://www.boomlings.com/database
and should only be changed if you are using a private server. Should NOT end with a slash.
corsURL
, which should point to the base URL for CORS requests. If you're using Node.js, don't worry about this; it only has an impact if you use gd.js
from a browser. Note that this will be directly prepended to the full request URL, so it will usually end with a trailing slash. If you are using gd.js
in the browser, you NEED to set up your own CORS proxy.
fetch
is the fetch polyfill to use. You can typically just set fetch in the global environment, but if you don't want to do that, you can also pass a polyfill here.
For example:
const gd = new GD({
logLevel: 0,
dbURL: 'https://my-custom-server.com/db',
corsURL: 'https://crossorigin.me/'
})
Now you have an instance of the client, which means you can start making requests! Make sure you are connected to the internet and that nothing is blocking requests to the GD server. If you're having issues with NaN
and undefined
appearing in your objects, it's probably a network error. To see the raw output for network requests, set logLevel
to 2.
As of now, the only things you can access are users and levels. All API methods are asynchronous, so make sure you know how to use Promise
, async
/await
or both!
Quick, self-explanatory examples (detailed info is in autocomplete/documentation website):
const GD = require('gd.js');
const fs = require('fs'); // I'm using Node.js!
const gd = new GD();
const getMyInfo = async () => {
const me = await gd.users.get('genius991');
console.log(me.accountID); // 4773829
console.log(me.userID); // 13083534
console.log(me.stats.stars); // 1133
console.log(me.stats.cp); // 0
console.log(me.cosmetics.colors.primary) // { raw: 9, parsed: '#ff0000' }
console.log(me.permissions); // { raw: 0, pretty: 'User' }
const rawIconResponse = await me.cosmetics.renderIcon('cube', true); // Give me the cube icon!
const dest = fs.createWriteStream('genius991-icon.png');
rawIconResponse.body.pipe(dest); // Saving the icon to a file! Hell yeah!
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
rawIconResponse.on('end', () => resolve());
rawIconResponse.on('error', reject);
});
}
const getDumbLevels = async () => {
const extremeDemons = await gd.levels.search({ difficulty: 'Extreme Demon' }, 100);
const cantLetGo = await gd.levels.search({ query: 'Cant Let Go' });
const wayTooLong = await gd.levels.search({ length: 'xl' }, 100);
const tooPopular = await gd.levels.search({ orderBy: 'downloads' }, 100);
let bloodbath = extremeDemons[0];
console.log(bloodbath.name); // Bloodbath
console.log(bloodbath.stats.likes); // 1359617
bloodbath = await bloodbath.resolve();
console.log(bloodpath.copy.copyable); // false
const { raw } = await bloodbath.decodeData();
// Do whatever you want with the decoded, decompressed raw level string
}
// Every ten minutes, GD Colon will post an account comment saying "I'm actually a furry"
gd.users.login({ username: 'colon', password: 'colonspassword' })
.then(colon => setInterval(() => colon.postAccountComment("I'm actually a furry"), 60000));
The documentation is available online here. You can click the "Globals" tab to see all the available classes, types, etc. The client (which is what you get when you import gd.js
) is available under the "Client" class.
Note that everything in the documentation is exported.
// In ESM environments, import utility types and classes as:
import GD, { LevelComment } from 'gd.js';
// In CommonJS environments such as Node.js:
const GD = require('gd.js');
const LevelComment = GD.LevelComment;
Do not try to construct the exported utility classes, doing so will always fail. Only construct the Client
and use it to get instances of the other classes.
gd.js
relies on the fetch
API and Promise
. Polyfill Promise
as needed (I recommend es6-promise
). For instructions on fetch
polyfilling, read on.
If you're using gd.js
in a modern browser, no polyfill is needed. If you're not doing that, you should add a fetch
polyfill like node-fetch
for only Node.js support, whatwg-fetch
for only older browser support, or isomorphic-fetch
for both.
Most fetch
polyfills for old browsers have options to automatically add themselves to the global environment. Once you do that, everything should work.
If you use gd.js
on Node.js, you'll need to have the fetch
polyfill added to the global
object. If you're using node-fetch
or isomorphic-fetch
(which automatically installs node-fetch
anyway), gd.js
will automatically use it. However, if you're using a fetch
polyfill that exports the function rather than adding to the global scope, you must make sure fetch
is explicitly added to the global object. For example:
global.fetch = require('weird-custom-fetch-polyfill');
const gd = require('gd.js'); // Now you can use in Node.js!
Beyond fetch()
issues, note that gd.js
adds atob()
and btoa()
onto the global scope for Node.js environments to mimic their behaviors in the browser.
If you need to parse an arbitrary string with the key:value:key2:value2
format you can import 'gd.js/esm/util/parse'
and use its parse
method. (Note this only works with ES Modules; for Node.js, you may need to enable the experimental ESM loader.)
ES Modules:
import { parse } from 'gd.js/esm/util/parse';
Its first parameter is the string to parse and its second parameter is the splitter (defaults to ':'
). If you were to parse kS38
in the level string, you could do:
const levelEasy = await gd.levels.get('Level Easy', true);
const levelEasyData = await levelEasy.decodeData(true);
const colors = levelEasyData.parsed.meta.kS38.split('|').map(str => parse(str, '_'));
To set up your own CORS proxy, set up a standard CORS-Anywhere proxy, but configure it to strip User-Agent
and optionally remove the rate limit.
Alternatively you can deploy this preconfigured template to a hosting platform of your choice (unfortunately Heroku appears to be blacklisted by RobTop and won't work). Just run node server.js
with the appropriate PORT
and HOST
environment variables and you should be set. Once your server is online, just provide the base path to the server as corsURL
in the options.
If you want to contribute, check out the code. Every function, even internal ones, are documented. Thanks for your help!

This example shows how Angular HMR can be used to reload lazy routes and lazy
(dynamically-loaded) components.
Lazy-Loaded Dynamic Components Example:
Instructions:
Hit F12 to open the Chrome Dev Tools. Open the Console, so you can see HMR messages.
Click on a mixture of the "Add" buttons below. A "loading" graphic simulates the component loading its data.
Click on any open component to close it.
With a mixture of components open, make a change to the source code in a.component.ts. Only the instances of
component A will be hot-reloaded. Component A is in one module, and Components B1 and B2 are in a different module.
Try something similar with b1.component.ts - all B1 and B2s will refresh, because they're part of the same
module.
Lazy-Loaded Routes Example:
Instructions:
Click on the link below to navigate to the lazy route C. A component with a "C" in it will appear below the link, where the router-outlet is.
Make a change to the source code in c.component.ts. The router will reset and reload the route, showing the updated
component.

At OpenTable it’s becoming an increasingly popular trend to use React. One of the reasons for this is the ability for it to server-side render whilst still giving us the client side flexibility that we all crave!
We all know to have stable, reliable software you need to have well written tests. Facebook knows this and provides the handy Test Utilities library to make our lives easier.
Cool — I hear you all say! But what is the best approach to testing React components?
Well unfortunately this is something that is not very well documented and if not approached in the correct way can lead to brittle tests.
Therefore I have written this blog post to discuss the different approaches we have available to us.
All code used in this post is avaliable on my GitHub.
The Basics
To make our lives a lot easier when writing test it’s best to use a couple of basic tools. Below is the absolute minimum required to start testing React components.
- Mocha – This is a testing framework that runs in the browser or Node.JS (others are available).
- ReactTestUtils – This is the basic testing framework that Facebook provides to go testing with React.
The Scenario
We have a landing page broken down into two separate components:
- Container – The holding container for all sub-components.
- Menu Bar – Contains the site navigation and is always displayed.
Each React component is self-contained and should be tested in isolation.
For the purpose of this exercise we will focus on the test for the container component and making sure that the menu bar is displayed within it.
Approach 1 (Full DOM):
I like to call this the “Full DOM” approach because you take a component and render it in its entirety including all of its children. The React syntax are transformed and any assertion you make will be against the rendered HTML elements.
Below is our test scenario written in this approach.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
|
If you run the above test it passes but how does it work?
1 2 3 4 |
|
This sets up our DOM which is a requirement of TestUtils.renderIntoDocument.
1
|
|
TestUtils.renderIntoDocument then takes the React syntax and renders it into the DOM as HTML.
1
|
|
We now query the DOM for a unique class that is contained within the menu-bar and get an array of DOM elements back which we can assert against.
The example above is a common approach but is it necessarily the best way?
From my point of view no, as this approach makes our tests brittle. We are exposing and querying on the inner workings of the menu-bar and if someone was to refactor it and remove/rename the “menu-bar-container” class then our test would fail.
Approach 2 (Shallow Rendering):
With the release of React 0.13 Facebook provided the ability to “shallow render” a component. This allows you to instantiate a component and get the result of its render function, a ReactElement, without a DOM. It also only renders the component one level deep so you can keep your tests more focused.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
|
Again like the previous example this passes but how does it work?
1
|
|
We first create the shallowRender which handles the rendering of the React components.
1
|
|
Then we pass in the component we have under test to the shallowRender.
1 2 |
|
And finally we get the output from the shallowRender and assert that the children contain the menu-bar component.
Is this approach any better than the previous? In my option yes and for the following reasons:
We don’t rely on the inner workings of the menu-bar to know if it has been rendered and therefore the markup can be refactored without any of the tests being broken.
Less dependencies are being used as shallowRender does not require a DOM to render into.
It’s a lot easier to see what is being asserted as we are able to use JSX syntax in assertions.
Conclusion
So is shallow rendering the silver bullet for React testing? Probably not as it still lacking on key feature for me when dealing with large components and that is the ability to easily query the ReactDOM (libraries like enzyme are working towards improving this). But it is still a lot better than rendering the component out into HTML and coupling your tests to the inner components of others.
In this blog post we have just scratched the surface of testing with React and I hope it’s food for thought when writing your next set of React tests.

I'm trying to answer the following questions and open to your input:
- Do we want to use a publicly accessible trello board for managing the tasks related to containerisation: https://trello.com/b/lrL1g3Es
_I'm open to using git project if we have majority suggesting to go with it.
- Which repo would we like to focus on for this work?
- How can we be transparent about the number of hours each of us has each weeks to work on different tasks
- I'm trying to think about the higher level vision of what we want to achieve as part of this exercise. Eg. We want to be able to quickly launch semi baked containers on both local machines for testing and in production on schedulers like k8 or openshift.
- Then, it would be worthwhile to think about what strategy we want to undertake. Eg. Initially, we may just look at the work that @Deleted User and @patchkez did to containerise things and see what's remaining if we were to put that work to use in a new test environment. And we can define tasks from there.
Also, I'm very open to suggestions and changes that can actually help us stay motivated, consistent and get actual results - not just for ourselves but for any new person who comes alone for the ride.(edited)

ns40818-Nov-18 11:59 AM
Why do we need containerisation:
- On komodoplatform, we run a whole range of chains which get compiled, configured and deployed differently. Each of these may have different dependencies and it gets harder to test things in isoltation when we deploy all of these on a single server. We would like to handle this problem through containerisation where self container docker images can be used to launch containers which work exactly the same irrespective of underlying operating system (and it's version).
- Compilation takes a while and occasionally we see 3rd party packages being missed. We would like to keep dockerhub images which have compiled version that can just be used without any fuss.
- Local testing on your laptops gets easier because you can just work with a container, make changes and then get it deployed onto your production environment.
@SHossain Is there a way some of us can have admin rights over this channel. If not, it's cool. Then I'm gonna have to bug you now and then for requests such as:
- could you please pin the above post so that people can read why we're wanting to do this.
patchkez18-Nov-18 12:05 PM
@ns408 I am fine with the name for this channel. I am also fine with trello, used some other tracking tools in the past, but think trello is fine
what do you mean by using git? you meant to use github issues to track work?
all coins which are run on NN are containerized. But improvement is needed here. This is up-to-date repo and I run this on my NN https://github.com/patchkez/kmdplatform
Containers for Komodo Nodes. Contribute to patchkez/kmdplatform development by creating an account on GitHub.
I made few poor decisions in how I use all containers together, @Deleted User made it better. e.g. I have to re-build iguana image when I want to add new coin
IMHO we should first create plan/vision how our platform should look like, and from that create individual tasks
I have plan already in my head for longer time, I can write it down somewhere and we can discuss it
or what steps do you guys propose?
ns40818-Nov-18 12:18 PM
@patchkez could you please send dm me your trello user so I can add it to the board.
cc @Deleted User(edited)
>what do you mean by using git? you meant to use github issues to track work?
Yes, that's what - but let's just start with trello and we'll see how things go.
>all coins which are run on NN are containerized. But improvement is needed here. This is up-to-date repo and I run this on my NN https://github.com/patchkez/kmdplatform
Great! We can always improve and even refactor things if needed. Great to have a really good, tested starting point though - thanks to you.

>I made few poor decisions in how I use all containers together, @Deleted User made it better. e.g. I have to re-build iguana image when I want to add new coin
That's cool. We'll learn from it and refactor things to make it better.
>IMHO we should first create plan/vision how our platform should look like, and from that create individual tasks

Absolutely, let's just start populating a few cards. I'm just gonna pop a card on the board so that you can put your plan in there and we can then look at either adding "docs" directory in your git repo later.
@ns408 You could have Trello with Public and private boards. We do that for Pirate.(edited)

Since this chan is here, I'm making a simple request....
Someone, please, create a docker tutorial for existing linux users that:
a) assumes the use has no feken clue how to use docker
b) wants to create from scratch
c) isn't using Win, Mac as host
d) isn't running Visual Studio Code
In other words, I'm on linux and would like to create a docker Debian 9.6 "thingy-ma-bob" that has all of the assetchains, Agama, BarterDEX, and other Komodo related items; dafuq do I do?(edited)
Alright18-Nov-18 05:57 PM
@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 this will let you run as many nodes as you need in containers
https://github.com/alrighttt/dockersegid
not exactly what you're looking for, but a good start
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 05:59 PM
yeah, I need the "before step 1"
as in not using an "official" image, but one I can create the environment of
[DEPRECATED]The purpose of this is to semi-automate the process of staking coins on all 64 segids on a komodod ac_staked chain. This process is neccesary to secure a newly created ac_staked chain. ...
just jump in, I did that in like a week with 0 docker experience
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 06:02 PM
FROM ubuntu:16.04 != FROM scratch
I don't want to go from A to someone else's B
I want to go from A to my B
Alright18-Nov-18 06:03 PM
may as well write machine code then
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 06:05 PM
So, you're telling me that if tomorrow Cononical releases Ubuntu 20 in testing, there's no way for me to use Ubuntu 20 in docker until Cononical releases an initial start point?(edited)
Alright18-Nov-18 06:06 PM
do you use libraries in any of your code?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 06:06 PM
of course
Alright18-Nov-18 06:07 PM
so you start from "someone else's B"?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 06:07 PM
I don't need to wait for them to image the newest update to use it, I can just update and use it
If the only way to create a docker of an OS is some "official" company has to create an "original" docker file, then how dafuq do they do it (if it can't be done)?
Let's say I want to use "MyLinuxOS", how dafuq do I start?
FROM MyLinuxOS:1.1 and docker magically knows what MyLinuxOS is?
Most Dockerfiles start from a parent image. If you need to completely control the contents of your image, you might need to create a base image instead. Here’s the difference:...
as i said, basically you need to take a tar image of your working MyLinuxOS 1.1 and then import -> that creates a base image
after that you can build it, and preferably add it to dockerhub
that way when you write Dockerfiles you do FROM ComputerGenie/MyLinuxOS:v1.1
or something like that

For others (look at this channel), I will try to capture some of the requirements / concerns / improvements being mentioned here at least a few times in a week.
It would be great if those raising them can just draft those as issues - we can then take things from there.
Please do note that at the moment, we're really trying to focus on containerisation from Notary Node perspective but in the process, we'll be either listing or creating artefacts that can be used by others for testing or launching these komodoplatform (and thirdparty) resources quickly.
At the moment, we're working from @patchkez 's repository so submitting an issue request there will be helpful.
Also, we're tracking our work through and currently there's nothing on there but in the next week or so, we'll have more cards that will reflect our direction: https://trello.com/b/lrL1g3Es/containerisation(edited)

>Shouldn't this be under TECHNOLOGY instead of ECOSYSTEM (3RD PARTY)?
I asked this question originally but this got created under 3rd party - which isn't too bad. Once we prove our intent and have something to show for, we can then ask for this channel to exist under core, or technology or where ever contributors find it to be suitable later on.(edited)

There won't even be git in there. The only benefit from alpine afaik is that it is very light weight. For KMD purposes ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 as a base will be better I think
Mylo14-Dec-18 01:38 AM
Ok going back to Ubuntu thx
Still handy for a nodejs app I think. The alpine packaging seems pretty straight forward however, once the base Ubuntu layer is on user machine, the d/l and storage is already a “sunk cost”
blackjok3r14-Dec-18 01:48 AM
you could get it to build, but it wouldnt be easy
I had komodo building on Arch a few versions ago, but now it just errors out like crazy again. it seems to be mostly newer GCC that complains more than older versions.
Best to stick with whatever the devs are using, so I just use 16.04 server VM that has all deps, and copy it. only a 10GB image, and you can copy it anywhere.
Mylo14-Dec-18 01:51 AM
Yes agree. The benefits are lost with any time lost to things that have been solved or are not a problem elsewhere.
smellycouch17-Dec-18 05:29 AM
@blackjok3r you can still do it, you just need to add some returns to functions that don't have them right now

Up to here, all point to point communication have involved only contiguous buffers containing a sequence of elements of the same type. This is too constraining on two accounts. One often wants to pass messages that contain values with different datatypes (e.g., an integer count, followed by a sequence of real numbers); and one often wants to send noncontiguous data (e.g., a sub-block of a matrix). One solution is to pack noncontiguous data into a contiguous buffer at the sender site and unpack it back at the receiver site. This has the disadvantage of requiring additional memory-to-memory copy operations at both sites, even when the communication subsystem has scatter-gather capabilities. Instead, MPI provides mechanisms to specify more general, mixed, and noncontiguous communication buffers. It is up to the implementation to decide whether data should be first packed in a contiguous buffer before being transmitted, or whether it can be collected directly from where it resides.
The general mechanisms provided here allow one to transfer directly, without copying, objects of various shape and size. It is not assumed that the MPI library is cognizant of the objects declared in the host language. Thus, if one wants to transfer a structure, or an array section, it will be necessary to provide in MPI a definition of a communication buffer that mimics the definition of the structure or array section in question. These facilities can be used by library designers to define communication functions that can transfer objects defined in the host language --- by decoding their definitions as available in a symbol table or a dope vector. Such higher-level communication functions are not part of MPI.
More general communication buffers are specified by replacing the basic datatypes that have been used so far with derived datatypes that are constructed from basic datatypes using the constructors described in this section. These methods of constructing derived datatypes can be applied recursively.
A general datatype is an opaque object that specifies two things:
Let
be such a type map, where typei are basic types, and dispi are displacements. Let
be the associated type signature. This type map, together with a base address buf, specifies a communication buffer: the communication buffer that consists of n entries, where the i-th entry is at address buf + dispi and has type typei. A message assembled from such a communication buffer will consist of n values, of the types defined by Typesig.
We can use a handle to a general datatype as an argument in a send or receive operation, instead of a basic datatype argument. The operation MPI_SEND(buf, 1, datatype,...) will use the send buffer defined by the base address buf and the general datatype associated with datatype; it will generate a message with the type signature determined by the datatype argument. MPI_RECV(buf, 1, datatype,...) will use the receive buffer defined by the base address buf and the general datatype associated with datatype.
General datatypes can be used in all send and receive operations. We discuss, in Sec. Use of general datatypes in communication , the case where the second argument count has value > 1.
The basic datatypes presented in section Message data are particular cases of a general datatype, and are predefined. Thus, MPI_INT is a predefined handle to a datatype with type map , with one entry of type int and displacement zero. The other basic datatypes are similar.
The extent of a datatype is defined to be the span from the first byte to the last byte occupied by entries in this datatype, rounded up to satisfy alignment requirements. That is, if
then
If typei requires alignment to a byte address that is is a multiple of ki, then is the least nonnegative increment needed to round extent(Typemap) to the next multiple of . The complete definition of extent is given.
Example
Assume that
(a double at displacement zero, followed by a char at displacement eight). Assume, furthermore, that doubles have to be strictly aligned at addresses that are multiples of eight. Then, the extent of this datatype is 16 (9 rounded to the next multiple of 8). A datatype that consists of a character immediately followed by a double will also have an extent of 16.
[] Rationale.
The definition of extent is motivated by the assumption that
the amount of padding added at the end of each structure in an array of
structures is the least needed to fulfill alignment constraints.
More explicit control of the extent is provided in
section Lower-bound and upper-bound markers
. Such explicit control is needed
in cases where the assumption does not hold, for example, where union types
are used.
( End of rationale.)


Every page on the Internet starts as a humble HTML file. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of the web, and the beginning of any website. To break that down: “Hypertext” means the document contains text that has links to other text, like stylesheets or scripts, for example. “Markup Language” is a way of formatting a file so that it distinguishes between content and structure—it “marks up” the text to make it easy for the browser to tell which words it should display on the screen, vs. those that are there to tell it how to structure the page.
HTML’s syntax is based around tags, which are denoted by
<angle brackets>
. Most tags open and close, like this:
<tag> </tag>
, with your content going in between. Some self-closing tags don’t have that second one—watch out for

and

in particular.
Open your text editor and paste in the following, which is the basic structure that all HTML files must have. Essentially, we’re telling the browser that we’re writing in HTML, and then dividing our page into two sections: a browser-related information section (the ), and our visible content (the ).
Pay attention to how the tags are nested one inside of the other like weird, nerdy Matryoshka dolls. This gives an indication of how the page is structured and which elements of the page live inside other elements.
Edit the title of your web page by naming it inside the
<title>
tags. Titles usually describe the purpose of your webpage, and can be anything from your name to “My Personal Website” to “My Online Shrine to Steve Buscemi.”
Inside the

tag, create a

tag with your name.  A little-known fact is that Steve Buscemi’s entity is in the public domain, so anyone can assume his identity without fear of copyright infringement. You can use his
name instead.
A good practice when building websites is to save and check your work often. Take a moment now to save your code and open your HTML file by launching your browser and selecting File > Open File, then selecting the file you just made. From now on, feel free to save your code and refresh your browser whenever you make changes to your HTML file. If anything looks off, look through your code again and make sure it matches the examples.
Using the self-closing

tag, insert an image. Paste the image URL as the source attribute for the

tag.
In the

tag’s src attribute, you can use either a URL or a file path to tell the page what image you’d like to load. If you want to use an image off the web, you should right click the image you want and select an option along the lines
of “Copy Image URL” or “Copy Image Address.” If you’d like to use an image from your computer, you can just use that image’s full file name. Just make sure the image is in the same folder as you HTML file, or your computer won’t be able to find it.
Below the

tag with your name, include a

tag with a description of the image. Alternatively, you can use that space tell your readers about Steve Buscemi’s short stint as a fireman.
Create an unordered list of your social media accounts with the

tag. Lists are more prevalent than you might think—they’re commonly used for site navigation. You can add entries to your list with

tags.
Let’s go one level deeper with nesting. Using

tags inside your

tags, add links to send people directly to your social media accounts.
Create an ordered list for your favorite hobbies. It should look a little something like this:
There are a wide range of tags that serve a multitude of purposes. For a complete list, see the list of tags at w3schools. Some useful tags in journalistic contexts include

,

, and

, among others. Don’t worry about memorizing them all--no one needs to know all the tags, and they’re all available for you to look up whenever you need it. Just take a look at the list and make a note of anything you see that
you think might come in handy later.

HTML was third although because of my Excel Tecc program, Interactive Media, I already knew some of the material although that doesn't mean the reference pages we were shown didn't help some.
We were shown two diffrent sites W3schools, which is the one I perfer, and Github which I haven't fully explored yet but the fact that this site is up and working proves what I've learned from it.


call p%descr(info, [iout])
This method prints a description of the preconditioner p to the standard output or to a file. It must be called after hierachy_build and smoothers_build, or build, have been called.
Arguments
info | integer, intent(out). |
| Error code. If no error, 0 is returned. See Section 8 for details. |
iout | integer, intent(in), optional. |
| The id of the file where the preconditioner description will be printed; the default is the standard output. |
For compatibility with the previous versions of MLD2P4, this method can be also invoked as follows:
call mld_precdescr(p,info [,iout])


Bit
The bit (a portmanteau of binary digit) is a basic unit of information used in computing and digital communications. A binary digit can have only one of two values, and may be physically represented with a two-state device. These state values are most commonly represented as either a 0 or 1.
Byte
The byte (/baɪt/) is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.
