module Etc
The Etc
module provides access to information typically stored in files in the /etc directory on Unix systems.
The information accessible consists of the information found in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, plus information about the system's temporary directory (/tmp) and configuration directory (/etc).
The Etc
module provides a more reliable way to access information about the logged in user than environment variables such as +$USER+.
Example:¶ ↑
require 'etc' login = Etc.getlogin info = Etc.getpwnam(login) username = info.gecos.split(/,/).first puts "Hello #{username}, I see your login name is #{login}"
Note that the methods provided by this module are not always secure. It should be used for informational purposes, and not for security.
All operations defined in this module are class methods, so that you can include the Etc
module into your class.

Public Class Methods
Returns system configuration variable using confstr().
name should be a constant under Etc
which begins with CS_
.
The return value is a string or nil. nil means no configuration-defined value. (confstr() returns 0 but errno is not set.)
Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_PATH) #=> "/bin:/usr/bin" # GNU/Linux Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION) #=> "glibc 2.18" Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION) #=> "NPTL 2.18"
static VALUE etc_confstr(VALUE obj, VALUE arg) { int name; char localbuf[128], *buf = localbuf; size_t bufsize = sizeof(localbuf), ret; VALUE tmp; name = NUM2INT(arg); errno = 0; ret = confstr(name, buf, bufsize); if (bufsize < ret) { bufsize = ret; buf = ALLOCV_N(char, tmp, bufsize); errno = 0; ret = confstr(name, buf, bufsize); } if (bufsize < ret) rb_bug("required buffer size for confstr() changed dynamically."); if (ret == 0) { if (errno == 0) /* no configuration-defined value */ return Qnil; rb_sys_fail("confstr"); } return rb_str_new_cstr(buf); }
Ends the process of scanning through the /etc/group file begun by ::getgrent
, and closes the file.
static VALUE etc_endgrent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT endgrent(); #endif return Qnil; }
Ends the process of scanning through the /etc/passwd file begun with ::getpwent
, and closes the file.
static VALUE etc_endpwent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETPWENT endpwent(); #endif return Qnil; }
Returns an entry from the /etc/group file.
The first time it is called it opens the file and returns the first entry; each successive call returns the next entry, or nil
if the end of the file has been reached.
To close the file when processing is complete, call ::endgrent
.
Each entry is returned as a Group
struct
static VALUE etc_getgrent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT struct group *gr; if ((gr = getgrent()) != 0) { return setup_group(gr); } #endif return Qnil; }
Returns information about the group with specified integer group_id
, as found in /etc/group.
The information is returned as a Group
struct.
See the unix manpage for getgrgid(3)
for more detail.
Example:¶ ↑
Etc.getgrgid(100) #=> #<struct Etc::Group name="users", passwd="x", gid=100, mem=["meta", "root"]>
static VALUE etc_getgrgid(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT VALUE id; gid_t gid; struct group *grp; if (rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &id) == 1) { gid = NUM2GIDT(id); } else { gid = getgid(); } grp = getgrgid(gid); if (grp == 0) rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "can't find group for %d", (int)gid); return setup_group(grp); #else return Qnil; #endif }
Returns information about the group with specified name
, as found in /etc/group.

static VALUE etc_getgrnam(VALUE obj, VALUE nam) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT struct group *grp; const char *p = StringValueCStr(nam); grp = getgrnam(p); if (grp == 0) rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "can't find group for %"PRIsVALUE, nam); return setup_group(grp); #else return Qnil; #endif }
Returns the short user name of the currently logged in user. Unfortunately, it is often rather easy to fool ::getlogin
.
Avoid ::getlogin
for security-related purposes.
If ::getlogin
fails, try ::getpwuid
.
See the unix manpage for getpwuid(3)
for more detail.
e.g.
Etc.getlogin -> 'guest'
static VALUE etc_getlogin(VALUE obj) { char *login; #ifdef HAVE_GETLOGIN login = getlogin(); if (!login) login = getenv("USER"); #else login = getenv("USER"); #endif if (login) { #ifdef _WIN32 rb_encoding *extenc = rb_utf8_encoding(); #else rb_encoding *extenc = rb_locale_encoding(); #endif return rb_external_str_new_with_enc(login, strlen(login), extenc); } return Qnil; }
Returns an entry from the /etc/passwd file.
The first time it is called it opens the file and returns the first entry; each successive call returns the next entry, or nil
if the end of the file has been reached.
To close the file when processing is complete, call ::endpwent
.
Each entry is returned as a Passwd
struct.
static VALUE etc_getpwent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETPWENT struct passwd *pw; if ((pw = getpwent()) != 0) { return setup_passwd(pw); } #endif return Qnil; }
Returns the /etc/passwd information for the user with specified login name
.

struct.
See the unix manpage for getpwnam(3)
for more detail.
Example:¶ ↑
Etc.getpwnam('root') #=> #<struct Etc::Passwd name="root", passwd="x", uid=0, gid=0, gecos="root",dir="/root", shell="/bin/bash">
static VALUE etc_getpwnam(VALUE obj, VALUE nam) { #ifdef HAVE_GETPWENT struct passwd *pwd; const char *p = StringValueCStr(nam); pwd = getpwnam(p); if (pwd == 0) rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "can't find user for %"PRIsVALUE, nam); return setup_passwd(pwd); #else return Qnil; #endif }
Returns the /etc/passwd information for the user with the given integer uid
.
The information is returned as a Passwd
struct.
If uid
is omitted, the value from Passwd[:uid]
is returned instead.
See the unix manpage for getpwuid(3)
for more detail.
Example:¶ ↑
Etc.getpwuid(0) #=> #<struct Etc::Passwd name="root", passwd="x", uid=0, gid=0, gecos="root",dir="/root", shell="/bin/bash">
static VALUE etc_getpwuid(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { #if defined(HAVE_GETPWENT) VALUE id; rb_uid_t uid; struct passwd *pwd; if (rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &id) == 1) { uid = NUM2UIDT(id); } else { uid = getuid(); } pwd = getpwuid(uid); if (pwd == 0) rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "can't find user for %d", (int)uid); return setup_passwd(pwd); #else return Qnil; #endif }
Provides a convenient Ruby iterator which executes a block for each entry in the /etc/group file.
The code block is passed an Group
struct.
See ::getgrent
above for details.
Example:
require 'etc' Etc.group {|g| puts g.name + ": " + g.mem.join(', ') }
static VALUE etc_group(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT struct group *grp; if (rb_block_given_p()) { each_group(); } else if ((grp = getgrent()) != 0) { return setup_group(grp); } #endif return Qnil; }
Returns the number of online processors.
The result is intended as the number of processes to use all available processors.
This method is implemented using:
-
sched_getaffinity(): Linux
-
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN): GNU/Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana, Mac OS X, AIX
Example:
require 'etc' p Etc.nprocessors #=> 4
The result might be smaller number than physical cpus especially when ruby process is bound to specific cpus. This is intended for getting better parallel processing.
Example: (Linux)
linux$ taskset 0x3 ./ruby -retc -e "p Etc.nprocessors" #=> 2
static VALUE etc_nprocessors(VALUE obj) { long ret; #if !defined(_WIN32) #if defined(HAVE_SCHED_GETAFFINITY) && defined(CPU_ALLOC) int ncpus; ncpus = etc_nprocessors_affin(); if (ncpus != -1) { return INT2NUM(ncpus); } /* fallback to _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN */ #endif errno = 0; ret = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); if (ret == -1) { rb_sys_fail("sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)"); } #else SYSTEM_INFO si; GetSystemInfo(&si); ret = (long)si.dwNumberOfProcessors; #endif return LONG2NUM(ret); }
Provides a convenient Ruby iterator which executes a block for each entry in the /etc/passwd file.
The code block is passed an Passwd
struct.
See ::getpwent
above for details.
Example:
require 'etc' Etc.passwd {|u| puts u.name + " = " + u.gecos }
static VALUE etc_passwd(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETPWENT struct passwd *pw; if (rb_block_given_p()) { each_passwd(); } else if ((pw = getpwent()) != 0) { return setup_passwd(pw); } #endif return Qnil; }
Resets the process of reading the /etc/group file, so that the next call to ::getgrent
will return the first entry again.
static VALUE etc_setgrent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT setgrent(); #endif return Qnil; }
Resets the process of reading the /etc/passwd file, so that the next call to ::getpwent
will return the first entry again.
static VALUE etc_setpwent(VALUE obj) { #ifdef HAVE_GETPWENT setpwent(); #endif return Qnil; }
Returns system configuration variable using sysconf().
name should be a constant under Etc
which begins with SC_
.
The return value is an integer or nil. nil means indefinite limit. (sysconf() returns -1 but errno is not set.)
Etc.sysconf(Etc::SC_ARG_MAX) #=> 2097152 Etc.sysconf(Etc::SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX) #=> 256
static VALUE etc_sysconf(VALUE obj, VALUE arg) { int name; long ret; name = NUM2INT(arg); errno = 0; ret = sysconf(name); if (ret == -1) { if (errno == 0) /* no limit */ return Qnil; rb_sys_fail("sysconf"); } return LONG2NUM(ret); }
Returns system configuration directory.
This is typically “/etc”, but is modified by the prefix used when Ruby was compiled. For example, if Ruby is built and installed in /usr/local, returns “/usr/local/etc” on other platforms than Windows. On Windows, this always returns the directory provided by the system.
static VALUE etc_sysconfdir(VALUE obj) { #ifdef _WIN32 return rb_w32_special_folder(CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA); #else return rb_filesystem_str_new_cstr(SYSCONFDIR); #endif }
Returns system temporary directory; typically “/tmp”.
static VALUE etc_systmpdir(VALUE _) { VALUE tmpdir; #ifdef _WIN32 WCHAR path[_MAX_PATH]; UINT len = rb_w32_system_tmpdir(path, numberof(path)); if (!len) return Qnil; tmpdir = rb_w32_conv_from_wchar(path, rb_filesystem_encoding()); #else const char default_tmp[] = "/tmp"; const char *tmpstr = default_tmp; size_t tmplen = strlen(default_tmp); # if defined _CS_DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR #ifndef MAXPATHLEN #define MAXPATHLEN 1024 #endif char path[MAXPATHLEN]; size_t len; len = confstr(_CS_DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR, path, sizeof(path)); if (len > 0) { tmpstr = path; tmplen = len - 1; if (len > sizeof(path)) tmpstr = 0; } # endif tmpdir = rb_filesystem_str_new(tmpstr, tmplen); # if defined _CS_DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR if (!tmpstr) { confstr(_CS_DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR, RSTRING_PTR(tmpdir), len); } # endif #endif #ifndef RB_PASS_KEYWORDS /* untaint on Ruby < 2.7 */ FL_UNSET(tmpdir, FL_TAINT); #endif return tmpdir; }
Returns the system information obtained by uname system call.
The return value is a hash which has 5 keys at least:
:sysname, :nodename, :release, :version, :machine
Example:
require 'etc' require 'pp' pp Etc.uname #=> {:sysname=>"Linux", # :nodename=>"boron", # :release=>"2.6.18-6-xen-686", # :version=>"#1 SMP Thu Nov 5 19:54:42 UTC 2009", # :machine=>"i686"}

Tangram Play is an interactive text editor for creating maps using Mapzen’s Tangram rendering engine. With Play, you can write and edit map styles and preview the changes live in the web browser. This walkthrough showcases the main interface components and explains how to get started in Play.
Tangram Play has two main interface components: the map preview and the editing pane. The map preview will show any changes made by writing in the editing pane on the fly. You can use the map toolbar to change the zoom level, search for a location to move the map, save a particular location, or take a screenshot of the map. The editing pane can be moved to the left or right by hovering on the bar dividing the map and editing pane and dragging with your mouse. The editing pane is where code is written in Tangram's syntax to control the map design. It has common features of a text editor, such as keyboard shortcuts (described below), collapsible sections, and line numbering.
Create a free Mapzen account to save and share your map styles. Great map styles are not built in a day, so you can open your saved style from your account and pick up where you left off! You can continue saving changes to your current style using 'Save > Save to Mapzen account' or create a copy using 'Save > Save as…'.
Tangram Play currently allows two ways to share your map styles. 'Share > Get shareable link to your map…' lets you preview your map style and share it with others. 'Share > Get code snippet' generates JavaScript code that can be used with Tangram.
Read more about creating a Mapzen account »
You can inspect your data source in Mapzen by selecting the inspect tool on the main toolbar. When the inspect tool is selected, you can click on any map feature to find out the data source, its properties and the layers that are actively styling the feature.

Spanish court rules Ryanair hand luggage policy is 'abusive' and orders airline to cancel it
A passenger had to pay an additional €20 to bring 10kg of luggage on board her flight
by Elena Rodriguez, Emma Pinedo, Jessica Jones, Jasper KingA Spanish court has ruled that budget carrier Ryanair's policy of charging additional costs for hand luggage is "abusive" and can no longer be levied in Spain, reports the Irish Mirror.
The ruling stems from a passenger complaint made last year in which additional charges are brought against customers for bringing anything more than one personal item into the cabin.
"This ruling will not affect Ryanair's baggage policy, either in the past or the future, as it is an isolated case that misinterpreted our commercial freedom to determine the size of our cabin baggage," Ryanair said in a statement.
Ryanair have declined to comment whether it is planning to ignore the Spanish ruling or appeal it to the European Court of Justice.
The passenger who made the complaint was travelling from Madrid to Brussels and went to court after airline staff forced her to pay €20 to bring her 10kg luggage on board.
According to court documents, they ordered Ryanair to refund her the €20 plus interest, but rejected her demand for compensation of a further €10 for the suffering she experienced.
The judge ruled that the hand luggage in question, by size and weight, could easily be carried in the cabin, pointing to a Spanish regulation that allows passengers to take hand luggage on board at no additional cost.
The judge characterised the charge as abusive, adding that it "curtailed the rights that the passenger has recognised by law", and declared it invalid in Spain.
The judge however rejected the demand for compensation, saying that while doubtless "the passenger suffered rage and powerlessness in having to pay the extra unforeseen cost at the time of boarding" the discomfort did not reach a level that would justify compensation.
The court has said in a ruling that its statement can not be appealed.

(no stars out of *****)
I've seen a lot of bad movies before but never one this boring.  At the beginning of the movie, we are told that the characters have four chances to get dorothy into the tornado. How many times does it take them? Four chances. Also at the beginning, the good guys are supplied with a competitor. What happens to them?  What was the point of the bad guys? To show us the dangers of a tornado? Most of us have already seen tornado footage and know the danger. Or perhaps it was simply a showcase for the special effects? We are shown the tornado plenty of times. Each time is dramactically less and less interesting.
I think that's the problem with disaster movies. The directors never seem to provide the volcano, tornado, asteroid, or whatever with any character. If the theme of disaster movies is man vs. nature why not give us more from the nature's side. The writer seems to be content with the characters studying it electronically which is quite boring for the audience. And what of the Helen Hunt/Bill Paxton love subplot? Dull and uninteresting. This is a pretty formulaic movie so we know they'll end up together. Another problem with disaster movies is that there's no suprise ending. At least with a boring drama movie there's hope for a suprise ending to make amends.
The movie also provides us with another supblot involving Helen Hunt facing the Tornado. Which she does about four times. Even though the last one is pretty strong. Who cares? They all look the same to me.
During this movie, I learned nothing about what a twister was.

java.lang.Object org.pojava.datetime.DateTime
public class DateTime
DateTime provides an immutable representation of Date and Time to the nearest nanosecond. You can access DateTime properties either in milliseconds or in seconds and nanoseconds. Both the seconds and milliseconds values can be understood as being truncated to their respective precisions. Nanos holds the fractional portion of a second in the range 0-999999999. Note that whether seconds is positive or negative, the internal values will be adjusted if necessary to support a positive value for nanos.
You may think of a DateTime object as a fixed offset of System time measured from the Unix epoch in non-leap milliseconds or non-leap seconds and nanoseconds. Leap years are calculated according to the Gregorian Calendar, matching the same interpretation as the java.util.Date object (every 4th year is a leap year, except for years divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400). The times are stored according to the UTC (aka GMT) time zone, and a TimeZone object is referenced to translate to a local time zone.
DateTime includes a robust parser for interpreting date and time from a String. It parses a date and time using heuristics rather than comparing against preset formats, so it is point-and-shoot simple. The following, for example, are interpreted the same:
Some notes on the date interpretations:
All dates are interpreted in your local time zone, unless a time zone is specified in the String. Time zones are configurable in the DateTimeConfig object, so you can determine for your own application whether CST, for example, would adjust to Central Standard Time or Chinese Standard Time.
A two-digit year will assume up to 80 years in the past and 20 years in the future. It is prudent in many cases to follow this with a check based on whether you know the date to represent a past or future date. If you know you parsed a birthday, you can compare with today's date and subtract 100 yrs if needed (references to birthdays 20 years in the future are rare). Similarly, if you're dealing with an annuity date, you can add 100 years if the parsed date occurred in the past.
If you're parsing European dates expecting DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY, then you can
alter the global DateTimeConfig setting by first calling, "
DateTimeConfig.globalEuropeanDateFormat();
".

Translation quality and errors
Yes, our system makes mistakes. Not only that, it sometimes generates ridiculous translations that have little or nothing to do with your input sentence. Other translation systems, especially the ones using neural networks, behave the same way (e.g. try translating "Paneb puusse." to English; the correct translation is "screws up"). Often it also works amazingly well (e.g. try "It reports remarkable achievements in tackling neglected tropical diseases since 2007.").
The reason for this behaviour is that neural MT systems primarily learn to generate output text, with the option of looking at the input text. Whenever the input is unexpected in any way to the system, or when the stars in the sky have apparently aligned in the wrong way, it can generate some text that is at best very weakly (at worst not at all) related to the input sentence. We are looking for a way to improve this.
Despite the errors the system makes, it can be used for example for post-editing (manually fixing the automatic translation), which works especially well with strict or limited text domains like legal texts, technical manuals and subtitles -- it can get 20%-30% faster than translating manually from scratch.
As for overall quality, here are the general statistics collected from your clicks on the best translations under the "Play" button:
Well, bummer. In the beginning we were considered to be as good as Google and ahead of Tilde, but not any more. We are working on it!
Of course this is very general and does not give any details. Here are the same statistics separately for shorter or longer input sentences:
So you can see, that Google really beats the other systems at very short sentences, and Tilde is better at long sentences, while our system is best at medium length sentences.

4 cosTime Examples
4.1 A Tutorial on How to Create a Simple Service
Initiate the Application
To use the complete cosTime application Time and Timer Event Services must be installed. The application is then started by using cosTime:start(). To get access to Time Service or Timer Event Service, use start_time_service/2 or start_timerevent_service/1.
The Time Service are global, i.e., there may only exist one instance per Orber domain.
The Timer Event Service is locally registered, i.e., there may only exist one instance per node.
The Time and Timer Event Service use the time base 15 october 1582 00:00. Performing operations using other time bases will not yield correct result. Furthermore, time and inaccuracy must be expressed in 100 nano seconds.
How to Run Everything
Below is a short transcript on how to run cosTime.
%% Start Mnesia and Orber mnesia:delete_schema([node()]), mnesia:create_schema([node()]), orber:install([node()]), mnesia:start(), orber:start(), %% Install Time Service in the IFR. cosTime:install_time(), %% Install Timer Event Service in the IFR. Which, require %% the Time Service and cosEvent or cosNotification %% application to be installed. cosNotification:install(), cosTime:install_timerevent(), %% Now start the application and necessary services. cosTime:start(), %% Tdf == Time displacement factor %% Inaccuracy measured in 100 nano seconds TS=cosTime:start_time_service(TDF, Inaccuracy), TES=cosTime:start_timerevent_service(TS), %% Access a cosNotification Proxy Push Consumer. How this is %% done is implementation specific. ProxyPushConsumer = .... %% How we construct the event is also implementation specific. AnyEvent = .... %% Create a new relative universal time. %% Time measured in 100 nano seconds. UTO='CosTime_TimeService': new_universal_time(TS, Time, Inaccuracy, TDF), EH='CosTimerEvent_TimerEventService': register(TES, ProxyPushConsumer, AnyEvent), %% If we want to trigger one event Time*10^-7 seconds from now: 'CosTimerEvent_TimerEventHandler':set_timer(EH, 'TTRelative', UTO), %% If we want to trigger an event every Time*10^-7 seconds, starting %% Time*10^-7 seconds from now: 'CosTimerEvent_TimerEventHandler':set_timer(EH, 'TTPeriodic', UTO), %% If we want to use absolute time we must retrieve such an object. %% One way is to convert the one we got, UTO, by using: UTO2='CosTime_UTO':absolute_time(UTO), %% If any other way is used, the correct time base MUST be used, i.e., %% 15 october 1582 00:00. 'CosTimerEvent_TimerEventHandler':set_timer(EH, 'TTAbsolute', UTO2),


The fact that women and other minority groups are not equally participating in STEM fields is alarming. It is no secret that STEM careers pay well. Programmers and IT workers are essential for the future as the world becomes more automated. Also, certain careers, such as accounting and nursing may eventually be replaced by computers and machines. If women and other minority groups do not get involved in STEM careers in the near future, it will put these groups at a further disadvantage in society. I think that mentorship is critical to getting minority groups involved in computer science. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who got me interested in computers at the right age and has provided me guidance throughout my career. As a result of the gender and racial gaps in computer science, female and/or minority professionals in STEM may have a different experience than the stereotypical STEM professional. Companies and schools must set up mentoring opportunities for women and/or minority STEM students and workers so they can connect and receive guidance from other women and/or minorities in the STEM field.
Exposure is also critical in getting underrepresented groups involved in STEM fields. Technology is expensive. However, this does not mean students at schools that can't afford certain technology should not have access to technology. All middle schools and high schools need to invest in technology and expose students to computer science at a young age. Also, we need to work on ending the stereotype that computer science is for socially awkward, white, nerdy males. Hollywood loves to depict programmers as the loner type, despite the fact most programmers work in teams. When students are deciding what to major in, they are usually at an age when they care about what their peers think about them. It is unacceptable that some students may be hesitant to major in CS because they don't fit the stereotype.

`Go' Ahead by Homer Yen (c) 1999
It's 3AM. Do you know where your children are? Well-hidden and tucked beneath the cosmopolitan Los Angeles landscape exists a breed of youngsters who do what they can to scrape by for their survival. They roam within deteriorating communities awash in the neon lights of porn shops and the blue and red blinking lights of passing police cars. For some, like Ronna and Claire, they are underpaid checkout girls at the local supermarket within their much-in-need-of beautification neighborhood. Their friend includes Simon, who is a small time drug dealer. Their hardened childhoods have made them street smart, resourceful, and desperate. Kids like this don't think, they just do. They just go.
`Go' is an off-centered comedy that employs quirky sex and violence in an environment filled with drugs, rave dances, and strange conversations about pop culture. There are three scenarios that illustrate how a simple decision puts them on a path that will cause their already unfocused lives to spin further out of control. The first one focuses on Ronna (Sarah Polley). She is facing eviction, and unless she can generate rent money in a night, she'll be thrown out. Her plan involves Simon's drug distributor. But she can't anticipate the situation that she's walking into.
The second story features Simon, who is a young, brash, and libidinous teenager on his first trip to Las Vegas. His wide-eyed curiosity is bound to get him into a lot of trouble. For example, accompanied by his friend to a topless bar, he is warned not to get a bottle of champagne (a very expensive invitation for a private lap dance), which he naturally does. Their situation also spins out of control, and as they make their escape, another friend being filled in on the details exclaims, `you mean you stole a car, shot a bouncer and had sex with two girls at the same time?' There's another story that focuses on two men. Their vignette revolves around elements of gayness and a humorous poke at the multi-level marketing structure of Amway, but their inclusion into the overall story line is to show that even responsible adults can get themselves into bizarre situations where their may be no way out.
The film's structure involves an interlocking timeline, where we revisit certain scenes more than once. When we do, we'll be revisiting the same time period through the eyes of a different person. All of these varied stories cleverly converge. This is certainly a well-structured movie. I liked the depiction of the drug euphoria, which was like being underwater where sights and sounds are severely distorted. I'm not condoning drug use, but did enjoy the stylish visualization, depicted as a wild Macarena-like sequence in the produce section of a supermarket and a telepathic cat. There are many offbeat characters that lend energy to this film. I also liked how these kids' lives were symbolized and the general atmosphere of the film. When the frenzied activities of the previous night finally ends, the next thing that they want to is only as clear as the cover of the morning fog. But these kids are scrappy, and they'll find a way to survive.

Compiling the C# bindings - Legacy Scripts
This page describes the primary steps when creating the GDAL/OGR C# binaries from the source.
In most cases this is not necessary and it is better to use one of the pre-compiled sources, such as GisInternals or Conda.
Building on Windows
To building the C# interface, you need a compiled version of the GDAL core. This can be the result of a manual compilation or can be linking to one of the prebuilt binaries. In the former case the following should be run in the clone of the GitHub repository used to build GDAL and the steps to create the environment should not be necessary.
Requirements
The build environment has the following dependencies:
nmake / Visual Studio
SWIG 3/4
Note
The GDAL test scripts use VS 2019 (MSVC Ver 1920) so it would make sense to use the same versions.
Note
SWIG is used to build the API bindings. The GDAL test scripts use version 3 and the conda build use version 4. Both Work.
Build Environment
You need to set up the build environment. If you are using VS 2019, this might be the command:
VsDevCmd.bat -arch=x64
Note
The VsDevCmd.bat command can usually be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\Tools
or the equivalent for the Community Edition.
If you don't want to bother with executing the proper vcvars*.bat you might use the development environment specific command prompt to accomplish this task. When using a Win64 compilation be careful to activate the x64 version of the command prompt installed on your system.
Note
If you are not running in an environment that has been used to compile GDAL locally, then there are a number of variables that need to be configured. The Conda gdal-feedstock
configuration app can be used as a guideline about how to do that - build.bat.
Creating the SWIG interface code
The first step is to generate the SWIG interface code. This will create a set of .cs
definitions that will be compiled into the .dll
files
To create the interface execute the following command (from the swig\csharp
directory):
nmake /f makefile.vc interface`
Note
You should edit nmake.opt adding the actual location of the swig.exe
file.
Compiling the code
After creating the interface the code can be compiled using this command (from the swig\csharp
directory):
nmake /f makefile.vc
Upon a successful compilation the following files are created:
gdal_csharp.dll
ogr_csharp.dll
osr_csharp.dll
gdalconst_csharp.dll
gdal_wrap.dll
ogr_wrap.dll
osr_wrap.dll
gdalconst_wrap.dll
various sample applications
The *_csharp.dll
binaries are the managed part of the interface. You should add a reference to these assemblies for using the classes of the interface. These *_csharp.dll
files will load the corresponding *_wrap.dll
files, which are the unmanaged part of the interface hosting the code of the gdal core.
Testing the successful compilation
To test the compiled binaries, you can use:
nmake /f makefile.vc test`
This command will invoke some of the sample applications.
Note
For the tests to work the location of the proj and gdal DLLs should be available in the PATH.
Using MONO on Windows
If you have the Windows version of the MONO package installed you can compile the C# code using the MONO compiler. In this case uncomment the following entry in csharp.opt:
MONO = YES
Note
mcs.exe must be in the PATH.
Building on Linux/OSX
Requirements
The build environment has the following dependencies:
make
SWIG 3/4
mono (probably any reasonable version)
Build Environment
The build environment needs to be correctly configured. If you are not running in an environment that has been used to locally build GDAL then you should run the configure command from the GDAL root directory.
The conda gdal-feedstock recipe provides an example of how to do that - build.sh
Creating the SWIG interface code
The first step is to generate the SWIG interface code. This will create a set of .cs
definitions that will be compiled into the .dll
files
To create the interface execute the following command (from the swig/ csharp
directory):
make generate
Warning
In versions of GDAL < 3.3.0 - this command will create incorrect interfaces without the correct namespace. See #3670.
Compiling the code
After creating the interface the code can be compiled using this command (from the swig/csharp
directory):
make
Upon a successful compilation the following files are created:
gdal_csharp.dll
andgdal_csharp.dll.config
ogr_csharp.dll
andogr_csharp.dll.config
osr_csharp.dll
andosr_csharp.dll.config
gdalconst_csharp.dll
andgdalconst_csharp.dll.config
libgdalcsharp.so / .dylib
etclibogrcsharp.so / .dylib
etclibosrcsharp.so / .dylib
etclibgdalconst_wrap.so / .dylib
etcvarious sample applications (
*.exe
)
The *_csharp.dll
binaries are the managed part of the interface. You should add a reference to these assemblies for using the classes of the interface.
The *_csharp.dll
files will try to load the corresponding *_wrap.dll
and are redirected to the libxxxcsharp.*
libraries, which are the unmanaged part of the interface hosting the code of the gdal core,
by the *.dll.config
definitions.
Testing the successful compilation
To test the compiled binaries, you can use:
nmake test
This command will invoke some of the sample applications.
Note
For the tests to work the location of the proj and gdal libraries should be available in the PATH.
Using The Bindings on Unix
Note that the bindings created by this process will only work with Mono at the moment.
To run one of the prebuilt executables - you can run them with Mono as follows :
mono GDALInfo.exe
Both the managed libraries (i.e. the DLLs) and the unmanaged libraries must be available to Mono. This is in more detail in the Mono documentation

This site itself isn't anything too exciting. It just exists to showcase my resume in a format more easily readable than typical word docs. Soon-ish I'll be putting links to demo sites that I could spin up if I need to show stuff off for a job interview or something. (and of course anyone could look at their respective github repos just for fun and spin them up themselves)

Jason Derulo Insists Soaking Wet ‘Anaconda’ Underwear Shot Is Not Edited

Jason Derulo Insists Soaking Wet ‘Anaconda’ Underwear Shot Is Not Edited
Last week, Jason Derulo teased his 5.1 million Instagram followers with a soaking wet shot of him just in his underwear. The “Don’t Wanna Go Home” hitmaker was so incredibly drenched, fans started to notice the outline of his manhood in the photo, which he described as an “anaconda.” As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the response was pretty hilarious with funny comments from users. In a recent run-in with TMZ, Derulo addressed those who thought the photo was edited and not completely real.
“It was in Bali. I honestly [didn’t] feel like that was going to be my most liked picture when I woke up this morning. I posted the motherf*cker very early. It was from months ago. It was not even something that I just did,” the “Talk Dirty” chart-topper explained.
When he talked about his bulge, Jason put it down to his Haitian heritage.
“Photoshop? Photoshop? Don’t make me [pull it out]. There’s not enough women in this area. Just know that us Haitians, we look different.”
While Derulo might have left little to the imagination with the down below area, he wasn’t shy about showing off his toned legs, abs, and muscular arms either. He accessorized himself with numerous gold chains while standing on what appeared to be the edge of a wet surface.
The comments on the picture have continued to roll in. When The Inquisitr initially reported the photo, it had an impressive 16,800 comments. Since the weekend passing, the post has now racked up a whopping 35,500 messages, proving to still be making an impact on the platform.
“So is this why Jordan Sparks couldn’t breathe with no air???” one user wrote.
“I need an ambulance,” another shared.
A couple of days later, Derulo shared a funny photo of a man who tried to copy his pose, with a long stick shoved down his pants. The “If I’m Lucky” entertainer asked his fans who did it better.
The shot amused fans and racked up more than 288,000 likes and over 11,600 comments.
“I’M DEADDDDD,” one follower wrote in capital letters.
“Wait who is who? I see no difference,” another joked.

Next month, Jason will star in the upcoming Cats movie alongside Taylor Swift, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, and Idris Elba, to name a few. According to IMDb, he will play the role of Rum Tum Tugger.
Thirst traps aren’t a new thing for Derulo. When he appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote the film, he wasn’t shy about seducing the audience by crawling all over the studio floor, acting like a cat.


For large files with many long episodes, it is often inefficient to deal with entire traces when the excerpt of interest occurs over a very short period. After clicking the ‘Trim’ button, you have to select which channel you will use to specify the period of interest. Note that this waveform data manipulation will affect not only the selected channel but all channels.

Cloud Computing is an Information Technology (IT) paradigm, a model for enabling ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable resources (such as computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet. Cloud computing allows users and enterprises with various computing capabilities to store and process data either in a privately-owned cloud, or on a third-party server located in a data center - thus making data-accessing mechanisms more efficient and reliable. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility.
Advocates note that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize up-front IT infrastructure costs. As well, third-party clouds enable organizations to focus on their core businesses instead of expending resources on computer infrastructure and maintenance. Proponents also claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and that it enables IT teams to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand. Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model. This could lead to unexpectedly high charges if administrators are not familiarized with cloud-pricing models.
A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider.
Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations).
The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand.
Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.
Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.

Hue
The theme of our time in Hue was rain! It rained pretty much the entire time we were there.
We took a local public bus from Hoi An to Danang, where we were catching the train to Hue, because it would be cheaper than a tourist bus. The price should be 18,000 but we read online that they will pretend that it's more (up to 50,000) if you're a tourist, and will sometimes not tell you the price until you have already been traveling for a bit and are in the middle of nowhere.  I was a bit worried about this, so we asked the price before we got on: sure enough, he said 50,000 (after pausing to think about it for a minute). We decided to just pay it anyway as it was still cheaper than the other options.
The first ten minutes of the drive was so slow. I was worried we weren't going to get there until next week; the driver was literally going 5-10 km/h. He would randomly stop, take his hat off, run his hand through his hair, ponder life for a minute, and then keep going. At one point I figured his spedometer must be broken, because the needle didn't move at all between when he was stopped and when he was driving. But then I looked again a couple minutes later and it was almost at 20km/h! He sped up once he got out of town thankfully! We think he must have just been looking around the streets for more people to pick up.
It took about an hour to get to Danang, where we got on the train to Hue. The pass between Danang and Hue is supposed to be really pretty scenery; if you take a bus, it goes through the new tunnel under the pass and you miss all that. The train was a bit more expensive but I think it was worth it in the end. Those who watch Top Gear will remember it for being featured as part of the Vietnam Special.
Because of all the rain, we didn't get to see a ton in Hue; I didn't think we'd be getting this much use out of our rain jackets! Our hotel was fairly nice; the bed was incredibly uncomfortable (we had to put a blanket under us because the springs would dig into us), but the breakfast was good.
The first day in Hue, we walked over to the Imperial City. It was just on the other side of the river, not too far of a walk from our hotel. It cost 105,000 each to get in (about $5.25 CAD) and unfortunately it started pouring rain not long after we got there. We tried to wait it out for a bit but it just wasn't letting up, so we walked around in the rain anyway. The Citadel inside the Imperial City is where the emperor lived (with his 108 wives), and where all the official royal business happened. It was quite interesting to read about the different emperors and the lives they led.
When Vietnam was under French rule, the emperors didn't have all that much power anymore. Because of this, they didn't have a whole lot to do, so they built these elaborate tombs for themselves. There are three main big tombs that people go see: Tu Duc, Minh Mang, and Khai Dinh. We only had time to go to one, so we chose Tu Duc because it sounded interesting and was also the closest to town. We rented a couple of bicycles from our hotel and biked the hour or so out there.
The tomb area was huge! It had a lake, a tomb for his first wife, a building for all his concubines, and his actual tomb. There was a royal theatre for plays and quite a bit of regular business was conducted there as a sort of holiday palace.

Two injured during crash between semi, pickup truck in Green County, sheriff says
by Stephanie FryerBROOKLYN, Wis. - Two people suffered injuries during a head-on crash between a pickup truck and semi in Green County Wednesday morning.
According to the Green County Sheriff's Office, Armin J. Peterson, 46, of Brooklyn, was driving a pickup north on Highway 92 when he drove through a stop sign at the intersection with Glenway Road.
A semi going around a curve on Highway 92 then collided with Peterson's truck, according to a release from the Green County Sheriff's Office.
Darrell M. Fryer, 60, of Beloit, was driving the semi.
Fryer was hurt in the crash and taken to a hospital in Janesville with non-life-threatening injuries, the release said.
Peterson suffered minor injuries, the release said. He was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
The intersection was closed for around two hours because of the crash.


Release of convicts
The High Court has rightly rapped the Tamil Nadu government for its decision to release six convicts undergoing life imprisonment for the gruesome killing of six Dalits in Melavalavu in 1997. (Editorial, “Wrong signals,” Nov. 19). Considering the fact that this was a case where the casteist overtones in the crime appeared to be crystal clear, the government should have applied its mind a little more before arriving at the decision to release the convicts. While the government has the prerogative to effect such releases, the gravity of the case and the heinousness of the crime should have weighed over factors such as the longevity of the jail term and the good conduct of the prisoners.

FOX’s Joel Klatt Is Crushing The Officials In Michigan vs. Michigan State
by Matt LombardiMichigan vs. Michigan State has been a tightly-contested affair so far. FOX Sports announcer Joel Klatt doesn’t seem to be impressed with the job the officials are doing during the contest.
Klatt, numerous times, has disagreed with calls on the field. Early, he criticized the referees for calling pass interference on Michigan but not doing so on Michigan State on the next drive.
He later took exception to the officials reversing a touchdown for Michigan State after a review.
He’s made it clear that he’s not a fan of how the game is being officiated. Some are accusing him of having Michigan bias, but that doesn’t really seem to be the case.
Michigan State wasn’t given much of a chance in this game by a few top analysts, but the Spartans have performed well thus far.
Michigan entered the game with a 7-2 record and hopes of a strong finish as it heads toward the Ohio State game. Michigan State has a 4-5 record and just wants to reach a bowl game at this point.
It’s currently 7-7 midway through the second quarter. You can catch the game on FOX.

NATURAL BORN KILLERS A film review by L. G. Brossa Copyright 1994 L. G. Brossa
At a time when the average citizen finds themselves surrounded by real and imagined violence, Oliver Stone and associates have propelled film violence beyond all previous rationalizations. In his most recent film "Natural Born Killers", the public is not just treated to a panoply of gratuitous savagery, but also threatened with an unprecedented wave of copycat violence. As the film BONNIE AND CLYDE, became the rebellious cult classic for the Sixties generation, the psychopathic characters of Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis), promise a plethora of violent role playing for rudderless youth of the Nineties.
What is most impressive about Stone's recent contribution to our cultural miasma, is the confused attempt to cloak this orgy of unrelenting violence, within modern society's apparent inability to control human conflict. The audience is driven from one social malady, to another, without a moment's reflection. Of course, we're supposed to intuit (with the subtlety of a bloodied sledge-hammer) that Mr. Stone's artistic mission is to meld contemporary hyper- media technique, with a message that America's drowning in brutality. He hides behind the idea of exposing the media's glorification of mass-murderers, but only succeeds in accelerating the film's audience down an interstate highway of ultra-violence!
To the seasoned film freak, NATURAL BORN KILLERS is nothing more than a synthesized high-tech version of CLOCKWORK ORANGE meets BONNIE AND CLYDE. Unfortunately, few young adults will have the historic reference to gain from this bloody social commentary.
The idea that our children have become innocent victims of the Saturday morning cartoons, is alluded to with interspersed imagery of these two murderers, rampaging through scenes as cartoon alter-egos. This linkage of media with acts of youth violence, is so-o-o perceptive. I will not hold Mr. Stone accountable for abrogating his responsibility as his art might inadvertently impact the influential craniums of today's youth. I will not accuse him of hypocrisy, for having used the same technologies to exploit the minds of the unwitting audience; those same media techniques he purports to expose in his film! However, I will hold him morally accountable for the emulated murders, that are sure to result from this film's release.
I was surprised to find Mr. Stone joining the ranks of media-maggots, who incessantly gorge themselves upon the limbs of America's victims of murder ... all in the name of social commentary. It was extremely disheartening to find the same brilliant artist--who actually brought tears to my eyes in his production of JFK--succumb to the production of the garbage entitled NATURAL BORN KILLERS. I will concede that the direction is impeccably brilliant. Where else can you utilize unflinching events-per-second editing, advanced image morphing, cartoons and state of the art audio mixing, all devoted to the heedless slaughter of numerous innocents?
Like so many other "geniuses" in the film industry, the likes of Oliver Stone will hide behind artistic temperament, thus avoiding moral responsibility to their viewing public. That same public that will have to pay more--as a result of his self aggrandizement--than the price of a ticket because of this film. Like any other engineers of social policy, the "Oliver Stones" remain economically buffered to the devastating after-blast of their art. I only wish, they someday find themselves abandoned on the same highway of murderous images, they so generously pour into the minds of pliant youth!
In light of my obvious distaste for this man's film, I would ask that every serious-minded individual, take the time to view this film. Criminologists, law enforcement agents, psychotherapists, political scientists and anyone concerned with human welfare, should take the time to view this film. You'll be forewarned as to what will no doubt be a quantitative shift in mass-murders, throughout this nation. True, there will be scant evidence as to this films direct culpability in each prospective murder scene. Be assured, many of these murderers, will have had more than coincidental knowledge of NATURAL BORN KILLERS.
Should you quickly dismiss my warning, ask why this movie devoted so much attention to media's exploitation of violence, and the public's ongoing preoccupation with it? Could it be, Oliver Stone also perceives the disappearing line between reality and phantasy in high-technology cultural expression? That media's influence over society is inseparable from the realities it portrays. For my part, I'm praying that my anxiety is the result of this film's powerful imagery ... nothing more.
At a time in history, when we all risk total immersion into a swirling cesspool of uncontrolled societal violence; as our government responds to public outrage at rampant crime, with counterproductive criminal-code legislation; while grade schools struggle with ever pervasive violence from errant students; and when the shrinking world is ever more dependent upon the guidance of insightful men and woman, we find in the midst of our entertainment industries ... natural born traitors.
