When disaster has struck, and most of the populace in the affected area is either dead or evacuated, the remaining survivors are sometimes forced to steal from local stores and homes to obtain the goods they need to survive the aftermath.
This situation can cause a moral quandary for people who have a strict code of honor. While most of the characters depicted will have little issues with doing what they need to get by, the Noble Shoplifter will struggle with the decision to steal from someone who may or may not be returning for their property at some point. While these characters are often shown to initially struggle with the decision, they will usually come up with a simple solution: they leave behind money or some other valuables that cover the cost of whatever they take. This makes the act less like "stealing" in the mind of the Noble Shoplifter, and more "buying without the previous owner's knowledge".
It 's not uncommon for the Noble Shoplifter's companions to give him or her a hard time about it, arguing that the former owners are very likely dead and that priority should be given to the living. They may also argue that there is nothing to stop other groups of scavengers from taking the valuables the Noble Shoplifter leaves behind... in fact, a more unscrupulous member of the Noble Shoplifter's own party may find an excuse to backtrack and do exactly that.
This trope is primarily used to portray the moral fiber of a character. In works where the Noble Shoplifter is displayed in a positive light, this reflects that they are the kind of person who will do the right thing, regardless of the fact that there are no negative consequences to giving in to the impulse to just take what they need. Other works may serve as a contrast, framing the Noble Shoplifter as Lawful Stupid while their peers are simply being pragmatic given the circumstances.
A common variation of this trope takes place in non-disaster related stories wherein The Protagonist needs to get something from a shop, but the shop is closed or the clerk is unavailable. Usually pressed for time, the character will take what they need anyway but leave enough cash behind to cover it.
Contrast Disaster Scavengers, Planet Looters and Gentleman Thief. The Noble Shoplifter is rarely seen in a Scavenger World, as those settings are usually far beyond the point where original ownership matters. Can overlap with What You Are in the Dark.
Examples:
- In Meteor, one of the student survivors of a meteor strike in Japan insists on leaving enough yen behind to cover the cost when his group finds food and water in a convenience store.
- In Green Arrow: City Walls, although the city is without power and looting is rampant, GA insists that his people leave payment whenever they take food or weapons from a store.
- Batman: No Man's Land: A variation occurs in a story that Alfred relates about Thomas Wayne while Bruce is facing a dilemma, about how he broke into a pharmacy to get drugs to treat a sick child from an impoverished family, and left behind money with an explaining note. This leads to a series of further payments by the increasingly extortionate pharmacist, that only ends when he has Alfred impersonate a police officer in order to recover the note.
- In Batman: Year One, Bats escape the police for good after they ambushed him in that abandoned building by taking a suit in a shop and leaving money to cover for it.
- 28 Days Later, after raiding a deserted supermarket for supplies before making a run for a supposed safe zone in the north, the heroes leave behind a credit card.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hermione keeps doing this while the trio are on the run. She does this at least once in the book as well, though it isn't really shoplifting then, because she drops the money into the open till from under the cloak.
- After the three runaways from O Brother, Where Art Thou? swipe a pie left cooling on someone's windowsill, Delmar leaves $5 under a rock on the sill as payment.note
- In Panic In Year Zero the family comes to a gas station where the owner is taking advantage of the disaster to charge an outrageous (for the time) price for gasoline. After trying and failing to reason with him, Harry knocks him out, takes the gas, and leaves enough money to pay for the gas at what he considers a fair price.
- Done unknowingly by Shaun in Shaun of the Dead. When the entire town is deserted, Shaun just goes about his daily business and goes to convenience store to shop for groceries. When he notices the shopkeeper isn't there, he just puts his money on the counter rather than wait for him.
- Undead or Alive: When the trio of wild west outcasts raid an unoccupied general store for supplies in the midst of an emerging Zombie Apocalypse, the cowboy-wannabe Elmer wonders if it's not wrong to be stealing despite the circumstance. Luke counters that rather than stealing, they're about to become the owner's "favorite customers" before tossing a large wad of bills on the counter.
- Discworld:
- Captain Carrot in The Fifth Elephant who insists on leaving money behind when he takes food from isolated farmhouses whilst trailing a werewolf pack into the mountains. The houses themselves are not actually unoccupied, it's just that Carrot looks scary so the owners tend to hide when he approaches and acting as a Noble Shoplifter is easier than dragging them out and buying it normally.
- Another variant: werewolf Angua sometimes kills chickens during her "time of the month," but always remembers where she's been and leaves money under the door. She's a strict vegetarian the rest of the time.
- From the second book of the His Dark Materials series, The Subtle Knife:
Before they left, Will dropped some coins in the till behind the counter.
"What you doing?" she said.
"Paying. You have to pay for things. Don't they pay for things in your world?"
"They don't in this one! I bet those other kids en't paying for a thing."
"They might not, but I do." - Jack Fleming from The Vampire Files does this when he needs new clothes, as he can't visit stores during daytime business hours and would cast no reflection in the mirrors of a tailor's shop. So he enters at night, takes what he needs off the rack, and leaves money on the counter.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hermione does this at least once in the book, though it isn't really shoplifting then, because she drops the money into the open till from under the cloak.
- The Executioner: In War Against the Mafia, Mack Bolan starts his crusade against the Mob by breaking into a gun store and taking a large amount of firearms and ammunition. However, he leaves behind enough cash to cover what he took, plus the damage to the store. When interviewed in the newspaper, the proprietor says he doesn't consider this a robbery, but rather a transaction that took place while the store was closed.
- In The Survivalist series by Jerry Ahern, John Rourke takes clothes from a store over the initial objections of Paul Rubenstein, whose objections are overcome when Rourke uses a Geiger counter to show that they've picked up radioactive fallout on their clothes. In the next novel they stop and help themselves to an abandoned container truck, only to be arrested by a self-proclaimed militia group who declares them looters to be executed on the spot. Rourke naturally has other ideas.
- The Day of the Triffids: In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the protagonist can't yet bring himself to break into a shop to acquire food even though it's increasingly clear to him that there's no help coming and things aren't going back to how they were. Even when he finds a delicatessen that's already had its front window smashed in by a car that swerved off the road, he leaves a fair price for the food he takes on the counter. He's made his peace with the new status quo within a few chapters.
- In The Incredible Hulk live-action TV series, David Banner often did things like steal pants when necessary after changing back from the Hulk, but left money behind. But... where does he keep his wallet? On second thought, never mind.
- On Castle, the eponymous Castle's daughter is so noble that she pays when her friends shoplift.
- Inverted at one point on The Walking Dead: an abandoned pharmacy that two characters scavenge has a sign (implied to have been left by the original owner) telling survivors they are welcome to take whatever they need.
- One episode of Bones, Booth makes a comment that "you gotta be bad sometimes to be good," meaning sometimes even the best people need to cut loose and do something "bad". Toward the end of the episode, while having dinner at the Founding Fathers, Brennan admits that she wants to try doing something "bad". Booth suggests that they skip out of the cafe without paying for their dinner and Brennan agrees. While she rushes for the door, Booth quietly leaves a few folded bills on the counter without telling her.
- In Van-Pires, the Motor-Vators in their transformed states need gasoline just as much as the Van-Pires. They make a point of leaving behind money to cover the gasoline they take from gas stations.
- The music videos for "Is Anybody Home?" by Our Lady Peace shows a woman waking up in a suddenly empty city. At one point she goes into a store to buy something. There's nobody at the cash register, and at first she simply leaves the money on the counter... the trope is then subverted in that she changes her mind and takes the money anyway.
- A similar situation is found in Earthbound. In Happy Happy Village, there's a food cart with a sign saying they trust you to take what you need and leave the money. However, in this case, the player does have the option to leave without paying, so this trope depends on the player.
- Mario in Super Mario RPG. When the Mushroom Kingdom is under attack, the item shopkeeper can be found cowering in the back of the shop, with a sign on the counter saying to take what you want and leave the money. Reading it allows you to buy items as if the shopkeeper was there, with no option to leave without paying.
- In Xenogears, Fei does this at a shop in Nisan at a point in the game where the town has been evacuated due to an invasion (after the party kills all the invaders, of course).
- A variation in Ultima IV: all of the shopkeepers who sell magical reagents are present at the shops, but also all happen to be blind. The player has the option of buying as many reagents as they want and paying only 1 gp, but due to the virtue system present in the game, cheating the reagents woman results in a hit to Honesty and Honor, so you're really encouraged to pay full price to stay virtuous.
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has a shop in the woods run by a trained parrot. The prices are laid out and you can take what you want.  If you steal from him and show up later as a wolf (to whom he can actually speak fluently), he laments that his boss punished him for it as well. On the flipside, you're also free to just give him some cash without taking anything; you get nothing from it other than some very genuine and happy gratitude.
- In Goblins, Big Ears insists that Thaco leaves money for the food he steals. In this case, the reason he can't shop normally is because he's a goblin in a city where goblins are feared.
- The Order of the Stick:
- After escaping the prison where he was being held for his Evil Twin's crimes, Elan swipes a change of clothes from a shop. Lacking any money, all he can do is leave a note.
Elan's Note: Sorry we stole from you note . It was for note good cause.
- Elan does it again to get a new lute while fleeing Azure City. This time, he leaves some money — even though the city is being abandoned. (When Haley and Belkar pass by the shop later, the money is gone.) Even though Elan is conscientious enough to pay for the lute, he thinks nothing of smashing the shop's front window to get to it.
- After escaping the prison where he was being held for his Evil Twin's crimes, Elan swipes a change of clothes from a shop. Lacking any money, all he can do is leave a note.
- In El Goonish Shive, Ashley needs a soccer ball for reasons, but the shopkeeper is away due to those same reasons. So she complains for a panel about not remembering the local shopping tax before dropping a handful of bills on the counter and running off.
- A variant occurs in one episode of The Amazing World of Gumball. Convinced that the impending solar eclipse will cause the end of the world, Gumball, Darwin, and Richard raid the local grocery store for supplies...with every intention of paying, of course, but the lines are obscene and the self-checkout refuses to behave.
- Arthur does this in an Imagine Spot.
- This happens in an episode of Codename: Kids Next Door when Number Two has to go to the grocery store, but it's already closed. He picks up the items he needs and leaves money behind, but still gets accused of trying to steal.
- In Batman: The Animated Series, Jack Ryder, having just transformed into The Creeper for the first time, ransacks a thrift store for new clothes while the clerk provides deadpan commentary. Batman is able to deduce The Creeper's identity because The Creeper paid for his purchase with Jack Ryder's credit card.
- In The Bots Master episode "Enter the Ninjzz", Blitzy, Cook, and Doc do this while stealing from a supermarket. Unfortunately, when Blitzy opens a register to load the money, she ends up setting off an alarm.
- One episode of The Simpsons saw Homer working at the Quik-E-Mart and fell asleep at the counter. In comes Ned Flanders who not only pays in full for his purchase, but does so quietly as to not disturb Homer's rest.
- In Home, Tip leaves some money on the counter of a store she grabs some food and drink from, despite there being an alien invasion going on, and the shopkeep almost certainly being hundreds of miles away, like the rest of humanity thanks to the invasion.
- In Shaun the Sheep, when Shaun and the flock steal human food (as opposed to disguising themselves as humans and buying it), they typically leave behind a hooffull of coins and notes for it, their two prime targets for this being the Pizza Boy and the Ice Cream Man. Notably, they do not do this when taking the Farmer's food.
- In the first episode of Steven Universe the Gems go out and steal Cookie Cats for Steven, but Pearl goes back and pays for them.
- One of the triggers for the French Revolution was the government removing economic controls that kept the price of a loaf of bread low. Seeing the price of their staple foodstuff rocket overnight — to more than the average daily wage — the Parisian people took matters into their own hands and took over bakeries and flour-millers by force. However, by popular consent, they didn't just steal the bread: they very scrupulously distributed it to the people, who left behind the pre-inflationary price of seven sous per loaf, which they thought was a fair price. It was only when the Army was called in to quell the bread riots and summarily hang "ringleaders" that people started grabbing what they could and running. And so a revolution started... not over principles of liberty, equality and brotherhood, but over something as basic and important as a subsistence diet.
- In 2013, four football players entered a convenience store in New Jersey that appeared open, when in reality the front door's lock had malfunctioned and the store was closed. After figuring out what was going on, the would-be shoppers left the appropriate amount of money on the front counter for the items they took, even flashing their cash at the security camera to make sure they were caught paying. The owner was so impressed by their honesty that she decided not to press charges, and even rewarded them with gift certificates. A news clip of the story can be found here.


Code contributions are very welcome and should comply to a few rules:
0. Read Design principles of PySCIPOpt_.
- Compatibility with both Python-2 and Python-3.
- All tests defined in the Continuous Integration setup need to pass:
- New features should be covered by tests and examples. Please extend [tests](tests) and [examples](examples). Tests uses pytest and examples are meant to be accessible for PySCIPOpt newcomers (even advanced examples).
- New code should be documented in the same style as the rest of the code.
- New code should be pep8-compliant. Help yourself with the style guide checker.
- Before implementing a new PySCIPOpt feature, check whether the feature exists in SCIP. If so, implement it as a pure wrapper, mimicking SCIP whenever possible. If the new feature does not exist in SCIP but it is close to an existing one, consider if implementing that way is substantially convenient (e.g. Pythonic). If it does something completely different, you are welcome to pull your request and discuss the implementation.
- PySCIPOpt uses semantic versioning. Version number increase only happens on master and must be tagged to build a new PyPI release.
For general reference, we suggest:
If you find this contributing guide unclear, please open an issue! :)
Design principles of PySCIPOpt
PySCIPOpt is meant to be a fast-prototyping interface of the pure SCIP C API. By design, we distinguish different functions in PySCIPOPT:
- pure wrapping functions of SCIP;
- convenience functions.
PySCIPOpt wrappers of SCIP functions should act:
- with an expected behavior - and parameters, returns, attributes, ...
- as close to SCIP as possible
- without *"breaking"* Python and the purpose for what the language it is meant.
Ideally speaking, we want every SCIP function to be wrapped in PySCIPOpt.
Convenience functions are additional, non-detrimental features meant to help prototyping the Python way. Since these functions are not in SCIP, we wish to limit them to prevent difference in features between SCIP and PySCIPOPT, which are always difficult to maintain. A few convenience functions survive in PySCIPOpt when keeping them is doubtless beneficial.
Admittedly, there is a middle ground where functions are not completely wrappers or just convenient. That is the case, for instance, of fundamental Model
{.sourceCode} methods like addCons
{.sourceCode} or writeProblem
{.sourceCode}. We want to leave their development to negotiation.


In PRONOM, an internal signature is composed of one or more byte sequences, each comprising a continuous sequence of hexadecimal bytes values and, optionally, regular expressions. A signature byte sequence is modelled by describing its starting position within a bitstream and its value.
The starting position can be one of two basic types:
Absolute: The byte sequence starts at a fixed position within the bitstream. The position is described as an offset from either the beginning or the end of the bitstream. The byte sequence can therefore be located by moving to the specified offset, counting from either the beginning of file or end of file position. If counting from either the EOF position, the offset is to the final byte in the sequence.
Variable: The byte sequence can start at any offset within the bitstream. The byte sequence can be located by examining the entire bitstream.
The value of the byte sequence is defined as a sequence of hexadecimal values, optionally incorporating any of the following regular expressions:
-
??: wildcard matching any pair of hexadecimal values (i.e. a single byte).
-
e.g.: 0x0A FF ?? FE would match 0x0A FF 6C FE or 0x0A FF 11 FE.
-
*: wildcard matching any number of bytes (0 or more).
-
e.g.: 0x0A FF * FE would match 0x0A FF 6C FE or 0x0A FF 6C 11 FE.
-
{n}: wildcard matching n bytes, where n is an integer.
-
e.g.: 0x1C 20 {2} 4E 12 would match 0x1C 20 FF 15 4E 12.
-
{m-n}: wildcard matching between m-n bytes inclusive, where m and n are integers or ‘*’.
-
e.g.: 0x03 {1-2} 4D would match 0x03 3C 4D or 0x03 3C 88 4D.
e.g.: 0x03 {2-*} 4D would match 0x03 3C 88 4D or 0x03 3C 88 3F 4D.
-
(a|b): wildcard matching one from a list of values (e.g. a or b), where each value is a
hexadecimal byte sequence of arbitrary length containing no wildcards.
-
e.g.: 0x0E (FF|FE) 17 would match 0x0E FF 17 or 0x0E FE 17.
-
[a:b]: wildcard matching any sequence of bytes which lies lexicographically between a
and b, inclusive (where both a and b are byte sequences of the same length, containing no wildcards, and where a is less than b). The endian-ness of a and b are the same as the endian-ness of the signature as a whole.
-
e.g. 0xFF [09:0B] FF would match 0xFF 09 FF, 0xFF 0A FF or 0xFF 0B FF.
-
[!a]: wildcard matching any sequence of bytes other than a itself (where a is a byte
sequence containing no wildcards).
-
e.g. 0xFF [!09] FF would match 0xFF 0A FF, but not 0xFF 09 FF. Digital Preservation Technical Paper 1: Automatic Format Identification Using PRONOM and DROID
Page 9 of 33
-
[!a:b]: wildcard matching any sequence of bytes which does not lie lexicographically
between a and b, inclusive (where a and b are both byte sequences of the same length,
containing no wildcards, and where a is less than b).
-
e.g. 0xFF [!01:02] FF would match 0xFF 00 FF and 0xFF 03 FF, but not 0xFF 01
FF or 0xFF 02 FF.
Note: In the examples above, spaces are included between byte values for reasons of clarity, but are omitted in actual byte sequence values. The signature is processed left-to-right if the signature is measured relative to BOF and right-to-left if measured relative to EOF. The endian-ness of the signature is only relevant for sequences inside square brackets. A byte sequence must contain a fixed subsequence of at least one byte between each occurrence of ‘*’, or between the beginning or end of the sequence and an occurrence of ‘*’. Thus, sequences of the following form are not permitted:
[BOF] (a|b)*…
…*(a|b) [EOF]
…*(a|b)*...


World Bank restores budgetary support to Pakistan
by Web DeskThe World Bank has restored Budgetary Support to Pakistan on account of strengthening of economic stability.
In a tweet on Friday, Minister for Economic Affairs Hammad Azhar said both the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank had suspended budgetary support to Pakistan during 2017 due to rising macro-economic imbalances that had risen in the economy at that time.
It will be the first budgetary support loan that the Washington-based lender will approve in four years. Last time it had approved a loan in February 2016. The Asian Development Bank and the World Bank had suspended Pakistan’s budgetary support in 2017 after its macroeconomic conditions started to deteriorate.
The ADB has already restored Pakistan’s budgetary support over two months ago. The bank had differences on the exchange rate regime and then linked the budgetary support with the devaluation of the currency.

Private module support
It's a very common requirement to be able to support private module/dependency lookups. This page describes Renovate's approach to authentication.
First, a quick note on terminology:
- The terms
module
,package
anddependency
can mostly be used interchangeably below - The terms
credentials
,secrets
andauthentication
are also used interchangeably
When does Renovate need credentials?
By default, the only credentials Renovate has are those for the "platform", i.e. GitHub, GitLab, etc. If the token used has sufficient permissions, this will enable Renovate to lookup dependencies located in alternative repositories on the same host or any hosted on any embedded package registry on the same host.
It's also quite common to need to look up packages on other protected hosts, including npmjs, Docker Hub, or private registries like Nexus or Artifactory. Any time you need Renovate to access such registries with credentials then you will need to provision them as part of your config.
There are four times in Renovate's behavior when it may need credentials:
- Resolving private config presets
- Looking up dependency versions
- Looking up release notes
- Passing to package managers when updating lock files or checksums
Note: if you self-host Renovate, and have a self-hosted registry which doesn't require authentication to access, then such modules/packages are not considered "private" to Renovate.
Private Config Presets
Renovate supports config presets, including those which are private.
Although npm presets were the first type supported, they are now deprecated and it is recommend that all users migrate to git-hosted "local" presets instead.
However if you do still use them, private modules should work if you configure the npmrc
file including token credentials in your bot admin config.
Credentials stored on disk (e.g. in ~/.npmrc
) are no longer supported.
The recommended way of using local presets is to configure then using "local" presets, e.g. "extends": ["local>myorg/renovate-config"]
, and ensure that the platform token has access to that repo.
It's not recommended that you use a private repository to host your config while then extending it from a public repository. If your preset doesn't contain secrets then you should make it public, while if it does contain secrets then it's better to split your preset between a public one which all repos extend, and a private one with secrets which only other private repos extend.
In summary, the recommended approach to private presets is:
- Host the presets on the same server/platform as other repositories
- Make sure you install Renovate into the preset repository so that it has credentials to access it from other private repos
- Use
local>....
syntax to refer to private presets
Dependency Version Lookups
Whenever Renovate detects that a project uses a particular dependency, it attempts to look up that dependency to see if any new versions exist. If such a package is private, then Renovate must be configured with the relevant credentials. Renovate does not use any package managers for this step and performs all HTTP(S) lookups itself, including insertion of authentication headers.
Configuring Renovate with credentials requires hostRules
.
Each host rule consists of a hostType
value and/or a way to match against hosts using matchHost
.
hostType
is not particularly important at this step unless you have different credentials for the same host, however it is sometimes useful in later steps so is good to include if you can.
It can be either a "platform" name (e.g. github
, azure
, etc) or a "datasource" name (e.g. npm
, maven
, github-tags
, etc).
If you want to apply credentials only for a nested path within a host then write matchHost
as a base URL like https://registry.company.com/nested/path/
.
If the same credentials apply to all paths on a host and not on any subdomains of it then configure matchHost
with a protocol like https://registry.company.com
.
Finally, to apply credentials to all hosts within the domain, use a matchHost
value with no https://
prefix, e.g. company.com
or registry.company.com
, both of which would apply to a host like beta.registry.company.com
.
In addition to the above options to match against a host, you need to add the credentials.
Typically they are either token
, or username
+ password
.
Other credential terms are not supported yet.
Here is an example of some host rules:
{
"hostRules": [
{
"matchHost": "registry.npmjs.org",
"token": "abc123"
},
{
"matchHost": "https://registry.company.com/pypi-simple/",
"username": "engineering",
"password": "abc123"
}
]
}
Renovate applies theses hostRules
to every HTTP(s) request which is sent, so they are largely independent of any platform or datasource logic.
With hostRules
in place, private package lookups should all work.
Looking up Release Notes
When Renovate creates Pull Requests, its default behavior is to locate and embed release notes/changelogs of packages. These release notes are fetched from the source repository of packages and not from the registries themselves, so if they are private then they will require different credentials.
When it comes to open source, most packages host their source on github.com
in public repositories.
However, GitHub greatly rate limits unauthenticated API requests so there is a need to configure credentials for github.com as otherwise the bot will get rate limited quickly.
It can be confusing for people who host their own source code privately to be asked to configure a github.com
token but without it Release Notes for most open source packages will be blocked.
Currently the preferred way to configure github.com
credentials for self-hosted Renovate is:
- Create a read-only Personal Access Token (PAT) for a
github.com
account. This can be any GitHub account, it might be better to create a "empty" account just for this purpose. - Add the PAT to Renovate using the environment variable
GITHUB_COM_TOKEN
Package Manager Credentials for Artifact Updating
In Renovate terminology, "artifacts" includes lock files, checksum files, and vendored dependencies. One way of understanding artifacts is: "everything else that needs to be updated when the dependency version changes".
Not all package managers supported by Renovate require artifact updating, because not all use lock or checksum files.
But when such files need updating, Renovate does so by using the package managers themselves instead of trying to "reverse engineer" each package manager's file formats and behavior.
Importantly, such package managers are run via shell commands and do not understand Renovate's hostRules
objects, so Renovate needs to reformat the credentials into formats (such as environment variables or configuration files) which the package manager understands.
Because of this need to convert hostRules
credentials into a format which package managers understand, sometimes artifact updating can fail due to missing credentials.
Sometimes this can be resolved by changing Renovate configuration, but other times it may be due to a feature gap.
The following details the most common/popular manager artifacts updating and how credentials are passed:
bundler
hostRules
with hostType=rubygems
are converted into environment variables which Bundler supports.
composer
Any hostRules
token for github.com
or gitlab.com
are found and written out to COMPOSER_AUTH
in env for Composer to parse.
Any hostRules
with hostType=packagist
are also included.
gomod
If a github.com
token is found in hostRules
, then it is written out to local git config prior to running go
commands.
The command run is git config --global<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"https://github.com/"
.
npm
The best way to do this now is using hostRules
and no longer via .npmrc
files on disk or in config.
hostRules
credentials with hostType=npm
are written to a .npmrc
file in the same directory as the package.json
being updated.
See private npm modules for more details.
nuget
For each known NuGet registry, Renovate searches for hostRules
with hostType=nuget
and matching host.
For those found, a command similar to the following is run: dotnet nuget add source ${registryInfo.feedUrl} --configfile ${nugetConfigFile} --username ${username} --password ${password} --store-password-in-clear-text
poetry
For every poetry source, a hostRules
search is done and then any found credentials are added to env like POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_X_USERNAME
and POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_X_PASSWORD
.
WhiteSource Renovate Hosted App Encryption
The popular Renovate App on GitHub is hosted by WhiteSource. If you are a user of this app, and have private modules, then the following is applicable.
Private presets with public repositories
If you have a preset in a private repo but reference ("extend") it from a public repository then it won't work. This is because public repositories are provided with a token scoped to only that particular repository, and not for all repositories within the organization. This is a security measure so that if a the token is accidentally leaked publicly, the damage is limited to the public repository it leaked to and not to every repository within the organization.
The solution to this is that you should break your presets into public and private ones, and reference only the public ones from public repositories.
Encrypting secrets
It is strongly recommended that you don't commit secrets to repositories, including private ones, and this includes secrets needed by Renovate to access private modules.
Therefore the preferred approach to secrets is that the bot administrator configures them as hostRules
which are then applied to all repositories which the bot accesses.
If you need to provide credentials to the hosted Renovate App, please do this:
- Encrypt each secret string using https://app.renovatebot.com/encrypt. Note: this encrypts using the app's public key fully in the browser and does not send the original secret to any server. You can download this file and perform the encryption fully offline if you like.
- Wrap each secret field in an encrypted object and paste in the encrypted secret value instead. An example is shown below:
{
"hostRules": [
{
"matchHost": "registry.npmjs.org",
"encrypted": {
"token": "3f832f2983yf89hsd98ahadsjfasdfjaslf............"
}
},
{
"matchHost": "https://custom.registry.company.com/pypi/",
"username": "bot1",
"encrypted": {
"password": "p278djfdsi9832jnfdshufwji2r389fdskj........."
}
}
]
}
Access to GitHub Actions Secrets
The WhiteSource Renovate App does not run using GitHub Actions, but such secrets would be a bad fit for the app anyway for the following reasons:
- The app would be granted access to all the repository/org secrets, not just the ones you want
- If Renovate wants access to such secrets, it would need to ask for them from every user, not just the ones who want to use this approach (GitHub does not support the concept of optional permissions for Apps, so people do not have the option to decline)
Admin/Bot config vs User/Repository config for Self-hosted users
"Admin/Bot config" refers to the config which the Renovate Bot administrator provides at bot startup, e.g. using environment variables, CLI parameters, or the config.js
configuration file.
User/Repository config refers to the in-repository config file which defaults to renovate.json
but has a large number of alternative filenames supported.
If there is a need to supply custom rules for certain repository, it can still be done using the config.js
file and the repositories
array.
If per-repository config must be done within the repository, it is still recommended against committing secrets directly (including e.g. .npmrc
files with tokens) and instead encrypting them with a custom public key first.
For instructions on this, see the above section on encrypting secrets for the WhiteSource Renovate App but instead:
- Save a copy of the https://app.renovatebot.com/encrypt HTML file locally, or host it locally
- Generate a public/private key pair for the app using the instructions in privateKey
- Replace the existing public key in the HTML with the public key you generated in the step prior
- Use the resulting HTML encrypt page to encrypt secrets for your app before adding them to user/repository config
- Configure the app to run with
privateKey
set to the private key you generated above
Note: Encrypted values can't be used in the "Admin/Bot config".
hostRules configuration using environment variables
Self-hosted users can use environment variables to configure the most common types of hostRules
for authentication.
The format of the environment variables must follow:
- Datasource name (e.g.
NPM
,PYPI
) - Underscore (
_
) matchHost
- Underscore (
_
) - Field name (
TOKEN
,USER_NAME
, orPASSWORD
)
Hyphens (-
) in datasource or host name must be replaced with double underscores (__
).
Periods (.
) in host names must be replaced with a single underscore (_
).
Note: the following prefixes cannot be supported for this functionality: npm_config_
, npm_lifecycle_
, npm_package_
.
npmjs registry token example
NPM_REGISTRY_NPMJS_ORG_TOKEN=abc123
:
{
"hostRules": [
{
"hostType": "npm",
"matchHost": "registry.npmjs.org",
"token": "abc123"
}
]
}
GitLab Tags username/password example
GITLAB__TAGS_CODE__HOST_COMPANY_COM_USERNAME=bot GITLAB__TAGS_CODE__HOST_COMPANY_COM_PASSWORD=botpass123
:
{
"hostRules": [
{
"hostType": "gitlab-tags",
"matchHost": "code-host.company.com",
"username": "bot",
"password": "botpass123"
}
]
}
Datasource and credentials only
You can skip the host part, and use just the datasource and credentials.
DOCKER_USERNAME=bot DOCKER_PASSWORD=botpass123
:
{
"hostRules": [
{
"hostType": "docker",
"username": "bot",
"password": "botpass123"
}
]
}


Michail Antonio scores twice in run-out ahead of possible West Ham return against Spurs
The Hammers winger hasn't played since late August after tearing his hamstring for a third time
by Sam InkersoleMichail Antonio completed a behind-closed-doors run out last week as he prepares for a potential return from injury in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Hammers winger scored twice in the internal club game as the senior players not on international duty competed against Dmitri Halajko's high-flying U23 youngsters to keep their fitness levels up.
Antonio has been out injured since late August having torn his hamstring in the seventh minute of the 2-0 Carabao Ccup victory over Newport County and had to undergo surgery in the aftermath once the swelling had died down.
The 29-year-old has been ruled out for the past nine games and has been sorely missed, especially in the last six outings, as his teammates have struggled and have dropped down the table like a stone.
Antonio is set to be in the matchday squad for the visit of Spurs to London Stadium on Saturday lunchtime as Jose Mourinho takes charge of Tottenham for the first time since replacing Mauricio Pochettino at the helm earlier this week.
Antonio, speaking in an interview in the games matchday programme, said: "I'm feeling good.
"I've been training with the boys. I played against the U23s last week in a behind closed doors game and it well.
"I got two goals: the second was a cut back to the edge of the box, I let it roll through my legs and...top bins, 25 yards. Beautiful!"
Both Antonio and skipper Mark Noble are expected to be fit for the lunchtime kick off later but there is an injury doubt over Jack Wilshere.
The midfielder had returned to training following a spell on the sidelines with a groin problem but suffered a new issue earlier this week with his stomach, with manager Manuel Pellegrini admitting on Thursday that Wilshere is a doubt.
Football.London understands that Wilshere is likely to be left out of the squad for the game against Spurs, who sacked Pochettino on Tuesday after just three Premier League wins all season.
Pellegrini has overseen just three top flight wins too and none in their last six games as his team have dropped from fifth in the standings to 16th.

Data types
BDS is a statically typed language that has simple data types. The intention is to avoid runtime errors.
The usual basic types are defined and bds
also offers extensible data types (classes).
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| string | A string (same a Java's String) |
| int | A 64 bit integer number (same a Java's long) |
| real | A 64 bit IEEE 754 number (same as Java's double) |
| bool | A boolean value, can be 'true' or 'false' (same as Java's boolean) |
| Arrays, List, Stacks | These are all the same, just a different way to call a list of elements |
| Maps | Maps are hashes (a.k.a. dictionaries that have string keys. |
| Class | An object definition |
Strings
There are several basic methods defined for strings:
| Return type | Method / Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| string | s = s1 + s2 | Concatenate strings. |
| string | s += s2 | Append to string. |
| bool | string.endsWith(string str) | True if string ends with str |
| bool | string.isEmpty() | True if the string is empty |
| int | string.indexOf(string str) | Index of the first occurrence of str in string |
| int | string.lastIndexOf(string str) | Index of the last occurrence of str in string |
| int | string.length() | String's length |
| string | string.replace(string str1,string str2) | A new string replacing 'str1' with 'str2' |
| bool | string.parseBool() | Parse a bool |
| int | string.parseInt() | Parse an int number |
| real | string.parseReal() | Parse a real number |
| string[] | string.split(string regex) | Split using a regular expression |
| bool | string.startsWith(string str) | True if string starts with str |
| string | string.substr(int start) | Substring from start to end of string |
| string | string.substr(int start,int end) | Substring from start to end |
| string | string.toLower() | Return a lower case version of the string |
| string | string.toUpper() | Return an upper case version of the string |
| string | string.trim() | Trim spaces at the beginnig and at the end |
Strings as files
Strings can be used in several different ways. For instance, it is common that a string can represent a file name (path) in a script. So you can use 'file' related methods on string. E.g.:
string f = "in.txt"
if( f.canRead() ) {
print (" Can read file $f\n" )
}
Here f
is a string, but it has a method canRead()
which returns true if f is a file and it can be read.
String (as file) methods
| Return type | Method | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| string | string.baseName() | File's base name |
| string | string.baseName(string ext) | File's base name, remove extention 'ext' |
| string | string.download() | Donwload data from URL (string). Returns local file name (empty string if failed) |
| bool | string.download(string file) | Donwload data from URL to 'file'. Returns true if succeeded. |
| bool | string.canRead() | True if file has read permission |
| bool | string.canWrite() | True if file has write permission |
| bool | string.canExec() | True if file has execution permission |
| void | string.chdir() | Change current directory |
| bool | string.delete() | Delete file |
| string[] | string.dir() | List files in a directory ('ls') |
| string[] | string.dir(string regex) | List files matching a 'glob' (regular expression for files) |
| string | string.dirName() | File's directory name |
| string[] | string.dirPath() | List files using canonical paths |
| string[] | string.dirPath(string regex) | List files, matching a 'glob' (regular expression for files), using canonical paths |
| string | string.extName() | File's extension |
| bool | string.exists() | True if file exists |
| bool | string.isDir() | True if it's a directory |
| bool | string.isFile() | True if it's a file |
| bool | string.mkdir() | Create dir ('mkdir -p') |
| string | string.path() | Absolute path to file |
| string | string.pathCanonical() | Canonical path to file |
| string | string.pathName() | Absolute dir |
| string | string.read() | Read the whole file into a string |
| string[] | string.readLines() | Read the whole file and split the lines |
| string | string.removeExt() | Remove file extension |
| string | string.removeExt(string ext) | Remove file extension, only if it matches the provided one |
| bool | string.rm() | Delete a file |
| bool | string.rmExit() | Remove a file when execution finishes (thread execution). |
| int | string.size() | File size in bytes |
| string | string.swapExt(string newExt) | Swap file extension |
| string | string.swapExt(string oldExt,string newExt) | Swap file extension, only if extension matches the provided 'oldExt' |
| string | string.upload() | Upload data to URL (string). Returns true if succeeded. |
| bool | string.upload(string file) | Upload data from 'file' to URL. Returns true if succeeded. |
| string | string.write(string file) | Write string to 'file' |
Strings as tasks
Strings can also be used to refer to tasks.
When a task is created, the task
expression returns a task ID, which is a string.
This task ID can be used for task operations, for instance:
tid := task echo Hello
wait tid
Here the wait
statement will wait until the task "echo Hello" finishes executing.
More task related methods:
| Return type | Method | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| bool | string.isDone() | True if the task finished |
| bool | string.isDoneOk() | True if the task finished without errors |
| string | string.stdout() | A string with all the STDOUT generated from this task |
| string | string.stderr() | A string with all the STDERR generated from this task |
| int | string.exitCode() | Exit code |
| string[] | getTasksDone() | Return a list of all task IDs that have finished (either succesfully or with errors) |
| string[] | getTasksRunning() | Return a list of all task IDs that are running |
| string[] | getTasksToRun() | Return a list of all task IDs that have not yet started to run (e.g. waiting to be executed) |
Arrays, List, Stacks
Arrays, list and stacks are all the same thing. You can create a list of strings simply by declaring:
string[] arrayEmpty
string[] array = ["one", "two", "three"]
Similarly, a list of ints is just
int[] listIntEmpty
int[] primes = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]
Methods
| Returns | Method | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| += | Append element(s) at the end of the list | |
| Element added | add(X) | Add X to the end of the list |
| Element added | add(int idx,X) | Add X to position idx in the list |
| Same list | delete() | Delete all files in the list (assumes list elements are file names). Same as list.rm() |
| int | count(X) | Count number of occurrences of X in the list |
| bool | has(X) | Does the list contain X ? |
| First element | head() | Get first element |
| int | indexOf(X) | Position of element X in the list |
| bool | isEmpty() | 'true' if the list is empty |
| string | join() | A string joining all elements of the list (separator ' ') |
| string | join(string sep) | A string joining all elements of the list (separator 'sep') |
| Last element | pop() | Get last element and remove it from the list |
| Element pushed | push() | Add at the end of the list |
| Element to remove | remove(X) | Remove element X from the list |
| Element to remove | removeIdx(int idx) | Remove element at position idx from the list |
| New reversed list | reverse() | Create a new list and reverse it |
| Same list | rm() | Delete all files (assumes list elements are file names) |
| Same list | rmOnExit() | Delete all files when current thread finishes execution (assumes list elements are file names) |
| int | size() | Return the number of elements in the list |
| New sorted list | sort() | Create a new list sorting the elements of this list |
| List | tail() | Create a new list with all but the first element |
Iterating on an array/list You can iterate on an array simply by doing
$ cat z.bds
string[] array = ["one", "two", "three"]
for( string val : array ) { print("Value: $val\n") }
$ bds /z.bds
Value: one
Value: two
Value: three
Maps
Maps are hashes that have string
as keys.
You can create a map simply by declaring:
string{} mstr # This maps string keys to string values
mstr{"Hello"} = "Bye"
mstr{"Bonjour"} = "Au revoir"
mstr{"Hola"} = "Adios"
or a map of real numbers
real{} mre # This maps string keys to real values
mre{"one"} = 1.0
mre{"two"} = 2.0
mre{"e"} = 2.7182818
mre{"three"} = 3.0
mre{"pi"} = 3.1415927
Methods
| Returns | Method | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| bool | hasKey(string key) | True if the key is in the map |
| bool | hasValue(value) | True if 'value' is in the map |
| list | keys() | A sorted list of all keys in the map |
| bool | remove(key) | Remove key from this map |
| int | size() | Number of elements in this map |
| list | values() | A sorted list of all values in the map |
Iterating on a map You can iterate over all values in a map, simply by doing
$ cat z.bds
string{} mstr = { "Hello" => "Bye", "Bonjour" => "Au revoir", "Hola" => "Adios" }
for(string v : mstr ) {
print("Values : $v\n")
}
$ bds z.bds
Values : Adios
Values : Au revoir
Values : Bye
If you want to iterate on keys instead of values, you can do this:
$ cat z.bds
string{} mstr = { "Hello" => "Bye", "Bonjour" => "Au revoir", "Hola" => "Adios" }
for(string k : mstr.keys() ) {
print("Key : $k\tValue : " + mstr{k} + "\n")
}
$ bds z.bds
Key : Bonjour Value : Au revoir

Cecil B. DeMented A film review by Max Messier Copyright 2000 filmcritic.com
Hollywood is a pimp. A fat, cigar-smoking chump wearing a fur hat and 12 gold chains around its fat, hairy chest. All of its stars and starlets are an evil brood of scum-sucking vampires looking for the next percentage take, the next summer blockbuster, the next casting couch to audition on. Pumping out comic-book adaptations, terrible sequels to mediocre films, and remakes of foreign films to the nearest American movie multiplex mall theater equipped with thin walls and bad sound systems. How much longer can the works of Peckinpah, Fassbinder, Fuller, Castle, Preminger, and Lee be placed and forgotten in the wrong sections of the local Blockbuster stores? How many more Silver and Weinstein films can we enduring in this stinky, decaying state of American cinema?

Stephen Dorff, in a career-defining role, is Cecil B. DeMented, a crazed director devoted to making the most radical underground film. Together with his film production cult, the Sprocket Holes - who wear tattoos of Peckinpah, Lee, Fuller, Castle, Anger, Fassbinder, Preminger on various parts of their bodies as badges of honor, they kidnap a Hollywood movie starlet, played with perfect ridiculousness by Melaine Griffith, and force her to take the starring role in DeMented's film.
With no budget and no contracts for extras, DeMented and his crew take to the streets for production of Raving Beauty, a crass terrorist film about an angry owner of an independent theater and her brood out to destroy the mainstream film business. Using "ultimate reality" - with real bullets, real people, and real terror - DeMented and his crew of misfits attack a mall theater, terrorize the Maryland Film Commission and crash a movie studio shooting a certain sequel to a really annoying Tom Hanks film. Demented's crewmembers are maimed and killed, popcorn machines are used for target practice, and no one can have sex until the film is complete. It's like Bowfinger, only, you know, good.
The film moves with zigs and zags like the Magic Bullet of Kennedy's assassination. The zeal of DeMented's cause catches quickly and conveys the urgent message of "doing something, anything, for the accomplishment of artistic motivations." The crewmembers all hold the quirkiness common in Water's previous films - Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Polyester, Pecker -- and speak in the choppy, jaded dialogue used frequently by Waters. It is as if Water's script strips away the unnecessary dialogue common to most pretentious indie films and just delivers the goods.
Cecil takes such warped avenues of expression that it seems like it might actually outdo itself. You can see how a major studio might take this film, re-edit it, cut a deal with the remaining crew members who are still alive, and make a few sequels, a la The Blair Witch Project.
But that's for the future. Overall, the ride is fantastic; it's one of Water's best films to date and this year's Fight Club for filmmakers.

I'm currently studying Computer Science at Ghent University (Belgium) and am currently in the third year of my bachelor. I have a creative mindset and am always open to new exciting opportunities and love to learn something new. I am especially interested in a summer internship / job, so make sure to hit me up if you have something interesting. At the moment, my main interest are Linked Data and decentralisation and Machine Learning but it's always exciting to jump into a new field and broaden my horizons.
The first two weeks, I worked on representing bike sharing data through linked data. This makes it easier for machines to discover the semantics of the data and enables easier combination of the data with other datasets.
The last three weeks, I worked on fragmented linked data trees. Publishing data through trees allows faster query performance for large amounts of data. By publishing these trees through linked data, we can make the client responsible for iterating through the tree while the server can be just a simple file server.

Graduated June 2016
Group project for the course Software Engineering Lab 1 (C003780). Android app allowing customers to discover restaurants, make orders, pay the bill and much more. All from their android smartphone. Made together with Arne Goeteyn, Dries Marzougui and Sitt Min Oo.
View ProjectProject for the course Webdevelopment (C003779). Made three different implementations of a decentralised chat app. This means that the user can host his data wherever he wants, and the chat app is only a view on his data. I made two Back End implementations using Node and Express. One using Linked Data and Linked Data Fragments and one using a Rest Api. I've also made a Front End (Linked Data) version using VueJS.

Rectangle QML Type
Paints a filled rectangle with an optional border More...
| Import Statement: | import QtQuick 2.7 |
| Inherits: |
Properties
- antialiasing : bool
- border
- border.width : int
- border.color : color
- color : color
- gradient : Gradient
- radius : real
Detailed Description
Rectangle items are used to fill areas with solid color or gradients, and/or to provide a rectangular border.
Appearance
Each Rectangle item is painted using either a solid fill color, specified using the color property, or a gradient, defined using a Gradient type and set using the gradient property. If both a color and a gradient are specified, the gradient is used.
You can add an optional border to a rectangle with its own color and thickness by setting the border.color and border.width properties. Set the color to "transparent" to paint a border without a fill color.
You can also create rounded rectangles using the radius property. Since this introduces curved edges to the corners of a rectangle, it may be appropriate to set the Item::antialiasing property to improve its appearance.
Example Usage
The following example shows the effects of some of the common properties on a Rectangle item, which in this case is used to create a square:
import QtQuick 2.0 Rectangle { width: 100 height: 100 color: "red" border.color: "black" border.width: 5 radius: 10 }
Performance
Using the Item::antialiasing property improves the appearance of a rounded rectangle at the cost of rendering performance. You should consider unsetting this property for rectangles in motion, and only set it when they are stationary.
See also Image.
Property Documentation
Used to decide if the Rectangle should use antialiasing or not. Antialiasing provides information on the performance implications of this property.
The default is true for Rectangles with a radius, and false otherwise.
The width and color used to draw the border of the rectangle.
A width of 1 creates a thin line. For no line, use a width of 0 or a transparent color.
Note: The width of the rectangle's border does not affect the geometry of the rectangle itself or its position relative to other items if anchors are used.
The border is rendered within the rectangle's boundaries.
This property holds the color used to fill the rectangle.
The default color is white.
The following example shows rectangles with colors specified using hexadecimal and named color notation:
Rectangle { color: "#00B000" width: 80; height: 80 } Rectangle { color: "steelblue" y: 100; width: 80; height: 80 }
If both a gradient and a color are specified, the gradient will be used.
See also gradient.
gradient : Gradient |
The gradient to use to fill the rectangle.
This property allows for the construction of simple vertical gradients. Other gradients may be formed by adding rotation to the rectangle.
Rectangle { y: 0; width: 80; height: 80 color: "lightsteelblue" } Rectangle { y: 100; width: 80; height: 80 gradient: Gradient { GradientStop { position: 0.0; color: "lightsteelblue" } GradientStop { position: 1.0; color: "blue" } } } Rectangle { y: 200; width: 80; height: 80 rotation: 90 gradient: Gradient { GradientStop { position: 0.0; color: "lightsteelblue" } GradientStop { position: 1.0; color: "blue" } } }
If both a gradient and a color are specified, the gradient will be used.
This property holds the corner radius used to draw a rounded rectangle.
If radius is non-zero, the rectangle will be painted as a rounded rectangle, otherwise it will be painted as a normal rectangle. The same radius is used by all 4 corners; there is currently no way to specify different radii for different corners.

I was born in Chicago and lived there my entire life until recently. I moved to San Francisco with my lovely girlfriend Sarah two months ago.
My morning routine is to check through about four or five music blogs or online magazines to read about new artists or to hear about what new albums all the critics are talking about. I used to do a lot of driving for work and would listen to atleast one new album a day and by finding new music it helped keep my day intersting.
I lived and went to school at the University of Illinois at Chicago for Civil Engineering. After graduating I worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT). After a couple years working for IDOT as a resident engineer (A fancy way for saying a guy standing around witha clipboard). I got a job working with the engineering design firm Parsons Brinckerhoff where I worked until recently doing drainage design, sign planning, road design, environmental design - well I could go on with this list. I pretty much did every type of engineering design that goes into roads. I decided to make the change from road design to coding recently. It's something I've always been interested in and really feel I can make an impact on the world in this avenue.
I'm really into competive gaming and e-sports. It's something I have been very passionate about since I was a kid and I have followed it's growth to this day. With my career change into coding, one of the first areas I want to have an impact on the world is to help e-sports grow by providing better sites and tools for people to learn about it and to watch it.

This is not about me as a candidate, this is about a Party (Flux) that will bring a model of democracy (issue-based direct democracy) to the people of Australia.
Do you ever feel politics could serve society better?
Trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
Stuck in a loop wishing "If only politicians kept their promises. If only politicians were more consultative."
- >
I.B.D.D is optimised for:
- Conjecture - anyone can suggest legislation
- Criticism - anyone can vote on any legislation
- Specialisation – Currently, a politician that doesn't know the ins-and-outs of a particular issue will vote along party lines without consulting you. Why not ask people with expertise in that particular area?
- With I.B.D.D. the opportunity cost of voting will allow people to weigh up different conjectures and criticisms, drawing people to abstain from areas they aren't knowledgeable in so that they can vote in (specialise in) the areas they are interested in and have expertise in.
- >
You don't have to worry about me, my taste in music, or my views on a particular issue.
All you need to know is that I believe in issue-based direct democracy.
Having observed politics since my teens, I was drawn to Flux because I was tired of the current system - trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I've worked in a range of industries and community organisations as an accountant with an interest in systems thinking. I'm not getting into politics.
I'm getting into changing politics. I look forward to working with all of NSW to bring you a voice at the Federal level all of the time.

Scheduling the exam
Keep in mind that I took the real estate license exam during covid times, which is not usual and hopefully by the time you read this article, things will be back to normal.
I finally got an exam spot in Sacramento for Feb 2021. The testing centers in California have been closed for the last few months. The 20 spots (only 50% of allowed capacity due to Covid) filled up quickly.
There are 2 time slots for the exam, 8.45 am and 12.45 pm. For the salesperson license exam, the test is 3 hours long and you have to answer 150 questions and answer 105 questions correctly (70%). For the brokers license exam, the test is 4 hours long and you have to answer 200 questions and answer at least 150 questions correctly (75%).
There is a $20 rescheduling fee if you change your mind.
Day of the exam
Since it’s a 2.5 hours drive for me to Sacramento, I picked the day that offered the 12.45 pm exam. I ate a healthy big breakfast and packed lunch. I downloaded all the audio files from Prepagent and listened to it the whole time I was driving to Sacramento.
I arrived at 11.30 pm, went through more questions and answers on my phone. Even though the official exam time is at 12.45 pm, they allow you to register at the counter as early as 12.15 pm, and once you are registered, you can take start taking the test.
I gobbled down my lunch, drank a lot of water about half hour before going in so I can use the bathroom before taking the exam. I do not recommend taking breaks during the exam, but they do allow you to.
When you register at the counter for the exam, they ask you to take everything out of your pockets and put it in the locker they provide. The only thing I was allowed to bring in was my driver’s license and locker key and the reading glasses and mask I was wearing. They even asked me to show them the inside of my mask to make sure I didn’t write any notes inside my mask, ha!
California Real Estate Exam format and my exam taking strategy
You then walk into the exam room to your assigned desk number. There will be one DRE employee supervising (no cheating!). The monitor is placed facing upwards through a glass desk. You are given a mouse, whiteboard, sharpie, and one calculator.
Because the monitor is beneath the desk, nobody can see your monitor and vice versa. But that means you would be spending hours looking down, so make sure to stretch your neck and look up every now and then.
There is zero math questions in my exam. I went through the questions in order, and if I wasn’t confident of my answer and want to go back to it, I picked an answer anyway but wrote down the question number on my whiteboard.
After answering every question, I then went back back to the questions in order as written on my whiteboard. I had about 65 questions to go through again. I did this two more times, eliminating questions from my whiteboard when I felt I did the best I could. At the end, I only have about 28 questions that I did not feel confident about, even if I got all the 28 questions wrong, it’s still a pass.
For the questions I was unsure, I first eliminated the obvious wrong ones. Usually you can get it down to just 2 choices, giving you a 50% chance in answering it right. Sometimes you get a clue from other questions in the exam what the wrong answers are as similar questions come up in the exam and the answer choices of other questions might help you.
There is plenty of time given for the exam so time will not be an issue.
Time to get your results
I had 20 minutes left to spare on the clock, one of the last 4 people left, everybody left much earlier. Ignore the people who leave way early, assume they gave up and not because the exam was too easy for them.
I clicked on the “End Exam” button on the screen. When I went to the counter, they asked for my ID again and immediately printed out the results and stapled up the paper and told me not to open it until I got out of the building.
As soon as I got out I tore the paper open and it says “Congratulations! You passed …”. They will not give you your actual score, just either pass or fail.
My record in DRE elicensing was already updated by the time I drove back home, and there’s now a new button for me to click to download the forms to apply for my license!

[gecode-users] compile-time testing of gecode version
Denys Duchier

Hi Guys,
unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be any simple way for a
gecode-using program to have #if/#ifdef sections conditioned on the
version of gecode it is being built against. That's a pain for
portability.
In gecode-python, I just added the macro GECODE_VERSION_NUMBER
which is constructed in the same way as the boost version number:
For version X.Y.Z, the version number is X*100000+Y*100+Z
Would it be objectionable to add such a macro to gecode itself?
Cheers,
--Denys
