Three hours post arriving in Dubai, I was depressed.  Why is everything so clean? It felt eerily robotic. If I was supposed to behave this way, I wasn’t ready for it. As an Indian, it was almost as if my free will had been stolen from me.
 The receptionist shouted to the security person “Abbe inn logon ko chup karwa” (Ask these guys to shut up). This is when I realised two things - one, a large part of the Dubai workforce is Indian. Two, there are a lot of Chinese tourists. How do I know they were Chinese and not Japanese or Taiwanese or Korean? Moving on.
So, quick intro- Dubai is one of the seven states of the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Abu Dhabi is the biggest and richest state of UAE and also the capital. Dubai? The second largest, second richest. Rest five? You’re not going to remember it anyway so let’s not delve into it. When the UAE was being formed in 1971, two states opted not to join - they were Bahrain and Qatar.
December 7 2016: Day 1 on my itinerary was to have dinner on a traditional boat called a Dhow. Dubai is divided into two parts - Bur and Deira by the Dubai creek which is where the Dhow cruise operates. Though nothing exceptional, it is worth a casual visit. Watch out for the pesky photographers.
Dubai is the city of the rich. But before 1966 it wasn’t. The founding fathers - who were fishermen and pearl divers - decided to settle close to sea to keep watch for incoming intruder ships. On day 2, I visited the Dubai Museum and noticed it’s small size. Small is not usually a word you’d associate with Dubai. Compared to India, the cultural history is essentially inexistent.
Before I continue I would like to lay to rest one myth about Dubai which several people (including my tour guide) are guilty of perpetuating. The price of water is NOT higher than that of oil. I was able to purchase a 1.5L bottle of packaged drinking water for 1.5 AED (about 30 INR) - this is similar to the rates in any other country. I went to a petrol pump and petrol was selling for 1.68 AED a litre while diesel was 1.81 AED a litre. So there you are folks.
Just a regular tall building
Dubai is home to some iconic buildings which I witnessed on my city tour (also day 2). The Jumeirah beach is right next to the Burj Al Arab - an exceptionally fancy hotel. Legend has it that Sheikh Mohammed was unimpressed with the existing 5 star hotel on the beach front. So he called his construction company, “Can I have a better hotel on the beach? Make it tall. Yeah, tallest in the world tall is fine. Now what do I colour the walls? Forget it, just cover it with gold. Oh, and put that on an artificial island 300m from the shore.”
In Dubai you have malls every 500m. It has been ensured that in case you get a sudden urge to splurge, you won’t be left hanging. So where’s Burj Khalifa? It’s right next to the world’s biggest mall of course. The Dubai Mall has an area of more than 1 million sq.m (that’s 1km square) and the store of probably every brand in existence. There are 5 Starbucks outlets and you need a map to navigate.
Another tall building, but with a twist
My last stop for Day 2 was At The Top, Burj Khalifa - which disappointingly, is not at the top. It is at the 124th floor. The elevator is FAST and your ears will pop from the sudden pressure change. The view from the top is beautiful. Despite the height, it doesn’t “feel” tall. It is like being in an aeroplane. Though an airplane is not something you want to see close by when you’re there. I asked my sister to keep watch for any incoming planes while I went to find an engineer to enquire about the melting point of the steel beams used in the construction.
The Khalifa, for all it’s sophistication, couldn’t rid itself of those annoying Chinese salesmen and women who keep shouting “SAAAAR PHOTO!!!” Seriously guys? I just paid $50 for entry to this thing and now..? Nevermind, I’ll just write an angry review somewhere and pretend my opinion matters. If you plan to visit, book in advance for an evening slot (post 6pm). Then wait for the Dubai Fountain show which takes place every half an hour and looks even better from the top.
Ye Burj Khalifa hai Mia
The entirety of Day 3 was spent exploring the waterpark at Atlantis Hotel on Palm Island. 10/10 would do again.
Coming back to the oil. That’s where UAE gets the money from. The rates are almost half we have in India. This is why cars are something Dubai loves. I prepared a list of the most common cars I saw on the roads -
- Toyota Corolla: Most common taxi. You will realise why it is the largest selling car in the world when you see their number on Dubai’s roads.
- Toyota Land Cruiser: This is logical because even with a small nuclear family of two wives and two kids from each, a guy would need a car with 7 seats to accommodate them. This is where the third row seating of the Land Cruiser comes in handy.
- Land Rover: When you’re rich with a small nuclear family but don’t want to go the mainstream Land Cruiser way. This is also the car used in the Desert Safari. (Day 4 for me).
- American muscle cars (Dodge Challenger/Charger, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro): Quite common. When you’re kinda rich but not rich enough to afford a real sports car.
- Hatchbacks: Small is not a word associated with Dubai. This is also the reason why there are almost no hatchbacks.
A large part of the credit for the success of UAE goes to the rulers. The President (who is always from Abu Dhabi) is Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, while the Prime Minister (who is always from Dubai) is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Their family basically owns the whole country, and they command everything while sitting in palaces of gold. Yet unlike a lot of rich kids, they had the sense to use the money to develop the country as a tourist destination to ensure their relevance when the oil runs out. YOLO - hence responsible future planning.
While the Sheikh and his family are indeed rich beyond imagination, they have done quite a bit to share some of the prosperity with their brethren. And as is required for tourism, they also graciously allowed in immigrants to work, setup their own companies, practise their own religion. There are caveats though. You can only own land if you’re a citizen, oh, and it’s impossible to get citizenship. And if you’re looking to setup a business in Dubai, an LLC, you need a local sponsor. Despite the name, he will not invest anything in your company but you need to pay him several thousand dollars a year for no reason.
Undeterred by the strict laws, Indians love it. There are several Hindi TV and radio channels. Bollywood actors are often seen in advertisements on hoardings and Indian companies are everywhere.
Finally to recap the itinerary (Dec 7-11 2016) along with my ratings for each -
- Day 1: Arrival in afternoon, Dhow cruise dinner (3.5/5)
- Day 2: City tour (including Dubai museum, Jumeirah Beach)(2.5/5), Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa(4/5)
- Day 3: Lost Chambers aquarium and Aquaventure waterpark @ Atlantis The Palm (4.5/5)
- Day 4: Desert Safari in Sharjah followed by entertainment and dinner in desert camp (3/5)
- Day 5: Return
- Cost: 60k and above (depending on itenerary)
So would I recommend visiting this place to anyone? Definitely. Yes, it’s artificial. But it’s fabulous. See what man can make out of nothing (with a bit of money for motivation). Come and witness it while it lasts.

Rolling motion
A special case of rigid body motion is rolling without slipping on a stationary ground surface. This is defined by motion where the point of contact with the ground has zero velocity, so it matches the ground velocity and is not slipping.
Rolling without slipping on stationary ground surfaces.
\[ \text{Contact point $P$ has zero velocity:} \quad \vec{v}_P = 0 \]
Rolling without slipping means by definition that the contacting points have the same velocity. For a stationary ground the velocity is zero, so the contact point on the body must also have zero velocity.
It is helpful to think about the motion of the body in two ways:
- The body rotates about the moving center $C$.
- The body rotates about the instantaneous center at the contact point $P$.
These two ways of visualizing the motion can be seen on the figure below.
| Movement: | flat | big flat | rock |
| inside 2-circle | inside 3-circle | inside rock | |
| outside 1-circle | outside 2-circle | outside rock |
| Center $C$ | Body | $P$ velocity | $P$ acceleration |
|---|---|---|---|
| none | none | ||
| $\vec{v}_C$ (trans.) | $\vec{a}_C$ (trans.) | ||
| $\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{CP}$ (rot.) | $\vec{\alpha} \times \vec{r}_{CP}$ (ang.) | ||
| $\vec{\omega} \times (\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{CP})$ (cent.) | |||
| $\vec{v}_P$ (total) | $\vec{a}_P$ (total) | ||
Velocity and acceleration of points on a rigid body undergoing different rolling motions.
Rolling on a 2D flat surface
The most common and also the simplest form of rolling occurs on a flat surface.
Geometry and variables for rolling without slipping on a flat surface.
While rolling, the velocity and acceleration are directly connected to the angular velocity and angular acceleration, as shown by the next equations.
Center velocity and acceleration while rolling on a flat surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_C &= r \omega \,\hat{e}_t \\ \vec{a}_C &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t \end{aligned}\]
We begin by observing that the sign conventions in Figure #rko-ff mean that $\vec\omega = -\omega\,\hat{e}_b$. Now rolling without slipping means the contact point $A$ must instantaneously have zero velocity, so using #rkg-er gives: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_C &= \vec{v}_A + \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{AC} \\ &= (-\omega \,\hat{e}_b) \times r \,\hat{e}_n \\ &= r \omega \,\hat{e}_t. \end{aligned}\] Because the surface is flat, the tangential basis vector $\hat{e}_t$ is constant, and the radius $r$ is also constant. Differentiating the velocity expression thus results in: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_C &= r \omega \,\hat{e}_t \\ \dot{\vec{v}}_C &= r \dot\omega \,\hat{e}_t \\ \vec{a}_C &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t. \end{aligned}\]
Another way to express the connection between angular and linear velocity and acceleration is via the distance $s$ traveled by the rolling body:
Distance-angular relationships for rolling on a flat surface.
\[\begin{aligned} s &= r \theta \\ \dot{s} &= r \omega \\ \ddot{s} &= r \alpha \end{aligned}\]
The contact point $P$ and center $C$ are offset by the constant vector $r\,\hat{e}_n$, so $\dot{s} = v_P = v_C = r\omega$, from #rko-ef. Because $r$ is constant, differentiating the velocity expression gives $\ddot{s} = r \dot\omega = r \alpha$, while integrating with zero initial displacement gives $s = r \theta$.
While rolling, the contact point will have zero velocity but will have a centripetal acceleration towards the rolling center:
Contact point $P$ velocity and acceleration while rolling on a flat surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_P &= 0 \\ \vec{a}_P &= \omega^2 \,\vec{r}_{PC} \end{aligned}\]
By definition of non-slip rolling contact, the point of contact $P$ has zero velocity. The acceleration can be computed from the center $C$ with #rkg-e2: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{a}_P &= \vec{a}_C + \vec{\alpha} \times \vec{r}_{CP} + \vec{\omega} \times (\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{CP}) \\ &= \alpha r \,\hat{e}_t + (-\alpha\,\hat{e}_b) \times (-r\,\hat{e}_n) + (-\omega\,\hat{e}_b) \times \Big((-\omega\,\hat{e}_b) \times (-r\,\hat{e}_n)\Big) \\ &= \alpha r \,\hat{e}_t - \alpha r \,\hat{e}_t + \omega^2 r \,\hat{e}_n \\ &= \omega^2 \,\vec{r}_{PC}. \end{aligned}\]
Rolling on a 2D curved surface
When a circular rigid body rolls without slipping on a surface which is itself curved, the radius of curvature of the surface affects the acceleration (but not velocity) of points on the rolling body.
Geometry and variables for rolling without slipping on a curved surface. The left diagram shows rolling on the inside of the curve, while the right diagram is rolling on the outside of the curve.
Because there are two different geometries for rolling on a curved surface (inside and outside), there are different sign conventions and variable definitions in the two cases, as listed below.
Geometric quantities for rolling on a curved surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \left.\begin{aligned} R &= \rho - r \\ \vec{\omega} &= -\omega \,\hat{e}_b \\ \vec{\alpha} &= -\alpha \,\hat{e}_b \end{aligned}\right\} & \text{ when rolling on the inside of a curved surface} \\[1em] \left.\begin{aligned} R &= \rho + r \\ \vec{\omega} &= \omega \,\hat{e}_b \\ \vec{\alpha} &= \alpha \,\hat{e}_b \end{aligned}\right\} & \text{ when rolling on the outside of a curved surface} \end{aligned}\]
These formulas are all choices of sign conventions for $\omega$ and $\alpha$, and definitions of $R$. Figure #rko-fc shows the appropriate geometry. Note that $\omega$ and $\alpha$ are defined with positive values corresponding to motion in the tangential direction.
Warning: Radii of curvature $\rho$ and $R$ may not be constant.
The radius of curvature $\rho$ of the surface may be varying with position as the body rolls. If $\rho$ changes then this will also cause $R$ to change. These two variables will only be constant if the surface is in fact perfectly circular.
The center velocity for rolling on a curved surface is the same as for a flat surface, while the acceleration also depends on the radius of curvature of the surface:
Center velocity and acceleration while rolling on a curved surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_C &= r \omega \,\hat{e}_t \\ \vec{a}_C &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + \frac{(r\omega)^2}{R} \,\hat{e}_n \end{aligned}\]
The two configurations shown in Figure #rko-eg must be considered individually. We will do the derivation for the case of rolling inside (the left diagram), as the rolling-outside case is very similar, but with different signs.
We begin with the point of contact $P$, which has zero velocity and so it is the instantaneous center of the body. Using #rkg-er with the expressions #rko-eg thus gives the velocity expression: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_C &= \vec{v}_P + \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{PC} \\ &= (-\omega\,\hat{e}_b) \times r\,\hat{e}_n \\ &= r \omega \,\hat{e}_t. \end{aligned}\] Differentiating this velocity and using #rkt-ed gives the acceleration: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{a}_C &= r \dot{\omega} \,\hat{e}_t + r \omega \,\dot{\hat{e}}_t \\ &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + r \omega \frac{\dot{s}}{\rho} \,\hat{e}_n. \end{aligned}\] To replace $\dot{s}$ in this acceleration expression, we first consider the instantaneous center $M$, which moves along the surface with speed $\dot{s}$ and tangential acceleration $\ddot{s}$. Thus from #rkt-ev: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_M &= \dot{s} \,\hat{e}_t. \end{aligned}\] We can now compute the velocity of $C$ from $M$, as follows. Note that we cannot use equation #rkg-er because $M$ and $C$ are not fixed to the same body ($M$ is not fixed to the body). Thus: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{r}_C &= \vec{r}_M + r\,\hat{e}_n \\ \vec{v}_C &= \vec{v}_M + r\,\dot{\hat{e}}_n \\ &= \dot{s}\,\hat{e}_t - r \frac{\dot{s}}{\rho} \,\dot{\hat{e}}_t \\ &= \frac{(\rho - r)}{\rho} \dot{s} \,\hat{e}_t \\ &= \frac{R}{\rho} \dot{s} \,\hat{e}_t. \end{aligned}\] Comparing this expression for $\vec{v}_C$ to the one above, we see that: \[\begin{aligned} r \omega &= \frac{R}{\rho} \dot{s} \\ \dot{s} &= \frac{\rho r}{R} \omega. \end{aligned}\] This expression for $\dot{s}$ can be substituted back into our earlier equation for $\vec{a}_C$, giving: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{a}_C &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + r \omega \frac{1}{\rho} \left( \frac{\rho r}{R} \omega \right) \,\hat{e}_n \\ &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + \frac{(r \omega)^2}{R} \,\hat{e}_n. \end{aligned}\] The case of rolling on the outside of the curved surface (the right diagram in Figure #rko-fc) is similar to the above but with the different sign conventions from #rko-eg. The final expressions in #rko-ec apply to rolling on both the inside and outside.
The angular velocity of the rolling rigid body can be related to the derivative $\dot{s}$ of the distance traveled on the surface as follows. In the special case of a perfectly circular surface, the angular acceleration also has a simple relationship with $\ddot{s}$.
Distance-angular relationships for rolling on a curved surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \omega &= \frac{R}{\rho r} \dot{s} \quad \text{on any curved surface} \\ \alpha &= \frac{R}{\rho r} \ddot{s} \quad \text{on a circular surface} \end{aligned}\]
See the derivation for #rko-ec, where the relationship between $\omega$ and $\dot{s}$ is obtained. If the surface is exactly circular then by definition $\rho$ and $R$ are constant, so differentiating the angular velocity expression immediately gives the angular acceleration equation.
Just as with rolling on a flat surface, when a rigid body rolls on a curved surface the contact point has zero velocity but nonzero acceleration, as shown below.
Contact point $P$ velocity and acceleration while rolling on a curved surface.
\[\begin{aligned} \vec{v}_P &= 0 \\ \vec{a}_P &= \frac{\rho}{R} \omega^2 \,\vec{r}_{PC} \end{aligned}\]
The derivations for rolling on the inside or outside of a surface are different. Here we show the rolling inside case, as the outside case is very similar.
By definition the contact point $P$ has zero velocity. The acceleration can be computed from the center $C$: \[\begin{aligned} \vec{a}_P &= \vec{a}_C + \vec{\alpha} \times \vec{r}_{CP} + \vec{\omega} \times (\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}_{CP}) \\ &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + \frac{(r\omega)^2}{R} \,\hat{e}_n + (-\alpha \,\hat{e}_b) \times (-r\,\hat{e}_n) + (-\omega \,\hat{e}_b) \times \Big( (-\omega \,\hat{e}_b) \times (-r\,\hat{e}_n) \Big) \\ &= r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + \frac{(r\omega)^2}{R} \,\hat{e}_n - r \alpha \,\hat{e}_t + r \omega^2 \,\hat{e}_n \\ &= \frac{(r + R)}{R} r \omega^2 \,\hat{e}_n \\ &= \frac{\rho}{R} \omega^2 \,\vec{r}_{PC}. \end{aligned}\]

Padraic Joyce will bring attractive style of football as Galway boss says Kieran Fitzgerald
The two men played alongside each other when Galway won their last All-Ireland in 2001
by Pat NolanPadraic Joyce will bring an attractive style of football as the new Galway manager, says his former teammate Kieran Fitzgerald.
The two men played alongside each other when Galway won their last All-Ireland in 2001 but it has been pretty barren for them since, with last year’s All-Ireland semi-final appearance their first at that stage in 17 years.
Another ex-teammate, Kevin Walsh, oversaw an upturn in the team’s fortunes in recent years but he shipped criticism for what was viewed as a negative style of play, particularly at a time when Fitzgerald’s Corofin were earning rave reviews for their displays.
Fitzgerald said: “I remember Padraic, when I was playing with him, very knowledgeable guy.
“When he speaks, he talks, he says the right stuff. It was a kind of thing where he didn’t say an awful lot in the dressing room but when he was talking, he was talking sense.
“I have heard him on radio commentary since then and I think he is very good as well. He knows his football. He loves playing the go forward game.
“He wants kicking into the full-forward. He played full-forward for years and he wanted that ball in quick and early and he’ll definitely try and do that.”
Fitzgerald appreciates why Walsh was more conservative, however.
“We used to play attractive football but we used to concede huge, cricket scores, and I was part of it.
“We weren't getting anywhere, and I know where Kevin was coming from with that, because I know he commented before that the Kerry guys used to love playing Galway.
“Of course they did, because we used to let them play football.
“From a supporter’s point of view, I understood that you have to be defensively sound, and I know what Kevin was trying to do there. You have to be like that.
“But maybe with the players like Damien Comer, Shane Walsh, Brannigan, Ian Burke, we could have been a little bit more expansive, pushed the boat out a little bit more.”

14.4 The cmd Module
The cmd module (see Example 14-5) provides a simple framework for command-line interfaces
(CLI). This is used by the pdb debugger module, but you
can also use it for your own programs.
To implement your own command-line interface, subclass the
Cmd class, and define do and
help methods. The base class automatically turns
all do methods into commands and uses the
help methods to show help information.
Example 14-5. Using the cmd Module
File: cmd-example-1.py
import cmd
import string, sys
class CLI(cmd.Cmd):
def _ _init_ _(self):
cmd.Cmd._ _init_ _(self)
self.prompt = '> '
def do_hello(self, arg):
print "hello again", arg, "!"
def help_hello(self):
print "syntax: hello [message]",
print "-- prints a hello message"
def do_quit(self, arg):
sys.exit(1)
def help_quit(self):
print "syntax: quit",
print "-- terminates the application"
# shortcuts
do_q = do_quit
#
# try it out
cli = CLI()
cli.cmdloop()
> help
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
hello quit
Undocumented commands:
======================
help q
> hello world
hello again world !

A VipsRegion is a small part of an image and some pixels. You use regions to read pixels out of images without having to have the whole image in memory at once.
A region can be a memory buffer, part of a memory-mapped file, part of some other image, or part of some other region.
Regions must be created, used and freed all within the same thread, since
they can reference private per-thread caches. VIPS sanity-checks region
ownership in various places, so you are likely to see g_assert()
errors if
you don't follow this rule.
There is API to transfer ownership of regions between threads, but hopefully this is only needed within VIPS, so we don't expose it. Hopefully.
VipsRegion *
vips_region_new (VipsImage *image
);
Create a region. VipsRegion s start out empty, you need to call
vips_region_prepare()
to fill them with pixels.
See also: vips_region_prepare()
.
int vips_region_buffer (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRect *r
);
The region is transformed so that at least r
pixels are available as a
memory buffer.
int vips_region_image (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRect *r
);
The region is transformed so that at least r
pixels are available directly
from the image. The image needs to be a memory buffer or represent a file
on disc that has been mapped or can be mapped.
int vips_region_region (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRegion *dest
,VipsRect *r
,int x
,int y
);
Make VIPS_REGION_ADDR()
on reg
go to dest
instead.
r
is the part of reg
which you want to be able to address (this
effectively becomes the valid field), (x
, y
) is the top LH corner of the
corresponding area in dest
.
Performs all clipping necessary to ensure that reg->valid
is indeed
valid.
If the region we attach to is modified, we can be left with dangling pointers! If the region we attach to is on another image, the two images must have the same sizeof( pel ).

int vips_region_equalsregion (VipsRegion *reg1
,VipsRegion *reg2
);
Do two regions point to the same piece of image? ie.
VIPS_REGION_ADDR( reg1, x, y ) == VIPS_REGION_ADDR( reg2, x, y ) && *VIPS_REGION_ADDR( reg1, x, y ) == *VIPS_REGION_ADDR( reg2, x, y ) for all x, y, reg1, reg2.
int vips_region_position (VipsRegion *reg
,int x
,int y
);
Set the position of a region. This only affects reg->valid, ie. the way pixels are addressed, not reg->data, the pixels which are addressed. Clip against the size of the image. Do not allow negative positions, or positions outside the image.
void vips_region_paint (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRect *r
,int value
);
Paints value
into reg
covering rectangle r
. For int images, value
is
passed to memset()
, so it usually needs to be 0 or 255. For float images,
value is cast to a float and copied in to each band element.
r
is clipped against
reg->valid
.
See also: vips_region_black()
.
void vips_region_paint_pel (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRect *r
,VipsPel *ink
);
Paints ink
into reg
covering rectangle r
. r
is clipped against
reg->valid
.
ink
should be a byte array of the same size as an image pixel containing
the binary value to write into the pixels.
See also: vips_region_paint()
.
void
vips_region_black (VipsRegion *reg
);
Paints 0 into the valid part of reg
.
See also: vips_region_paint()
.
void vips_region_copy (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRegion *dest
,VipsRect *r
,int x
,int y
);
Copy from one region to another. Copy area r
from inside reg
to dest
,
positioning the area of pixels at x
, y
. The two regions must have pixels
which are the same size.
See also: vips_region_paint()
.

int vips_region_shrink (VipsRegion *from
,VipsRegion *to
,VipsRect *target
);
Write the pixels target
in to
from the x2 larger area in from
.
Non-complex uncoded images and LABQ only.
See also: vips_region_copy()
.
int vips_region_prepare (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRect *r
);
vips_region_prepare() fills reg
with pixels. After calling,
you can address at least the area r
with VIPS_REGION_ADDR()
and get
valid pixels.
vips_region_prepare() runs in-line, that is, computation is done by the calling thread, no new threads are involved, and computation blocks until the pixels are ready.
Use vips_sink_screen()
to calculate an area of pixels in the
background.
See also: vips_sink_screen()
,
vips_region_prepare_to()
.
int vips_region_prepare_to (VipsRegion *reg
,VipsRegion *dest
,VipsRect *r
,int x
,int y
);
Like vips_region_prepare()
: fill reg
with data, ready to be read from by
our caller. Unlike vips_region_prepare()
, rather than allocating memory
local to reg
for the result, we guarantee that we will fill the pixels
in dest
at offset x
, y
. In other words, we generate an extra copy
operation if necessary.
Also unlike vips_region_prepare()
, dest
is not set up for writing for
you with
vips_region_buffer()
. You can
point dest
at anything, and pixels really will be written there.
This makes vips_region_prepare_to()
useful for making the ends of
pipelines, since
it (effectively) makes a break in the pipe.
See also: vips_region_prepare()
, vips_sink_disc()
.

void
vips_region_invalidate (VipsRegion *reg
);
Mark a region as containing invalid pixels. Calling this function means
that the next time vips_region_prepare()
is called, the region will be
recalculated.
This is faster than calling vips_image_invalidate_all()
, but obviously only
affects a single region.
See also: vips_image_invalidate_all()
, vips_region_prepare()
.
void vips__region_count_pixels (VipsRegion *region
,const char *nickname
);
#define VIPS_REGION_ADDR( R, X, Y )
This macro returns a pointer to a pixel in a region. The (X
, Y
)
coordinates need to be within the VipsRect (R->valid
).
If DEBUG is defined, you get a version that checks bounds for you.
See also: vips_region_prepare()
.
#define VIPS_REGION_ADDR_TOPLEFT( R ) ((R)->data)
This macro returns a pointer to the top-left pixel in the VipsRegion, that
is, the pixel at (R->valid.left
, R->valid.top
).
See also: vips_region_prepare()
.

 I also don't really care.
I love adderall. I just want anyone reading this to know that. I haven't gone more than two days without popping a little orange and white pill in over a month. It's pretty cheap in my school, only 2 dollars for a 25 mg capsule. I buy maybe 10 or 15 a week, I give about half, sometimes more, sometimes less, away to friends or I occasionally sell them. Most of my friends love it too, sadly I am the only one who regularly purchases it but even if they did get as many as me I would still be the one giving them out at lunch time.
Adderall makes me happy. If I go a couple days without, I'm noticeably less active. I'm somewhat emotionless. When I started taking it last year I'd get maybe one every two weeks, and I had plenty of 'days after'. Generally I'm not a very emotional or sensitive person. Okay really, not at all, but on days after I frequently broke out crying. In school, at home, in conversations, if I was sad I'd cry. Now I'm barely fazed. Of course most of the time the buzz isn't as great, but that's only if I had popped one within 12 hours before and hadn't slept between the two. It makes my arms tingle, it makes me speak my mind (a little too frequent, if I'm with a sober kid I have to remind myself to stop talking) and frankly it makes my mind better. I am generous and I love everyone when I'm tweaking.
It also has made me lose 40 lbs total since last September. There was excersise involved but I wouldn't have been excersing if I hadn't popped an adderall. I once went on an adderall binge for 13 days exactly, about 9 months ago. I lost 25 lbs. I could not physically gain that weight back, partly cause I was still popping every coupla days, partly cause I wasn't really involved in life. Adderall makes food taste like ash, and feel like lead in my stomach.
It has destroyed my memory. Right now, my memory of two days ago is just a little bit worse than of those three months I spent smoking a total of over 20 bowls a day, even during school (I've never cut class), but there's lunch so that's okay. I compulsively clench my jaw. Apparently thats called bruxism. If I'm sober and my jaw is relaxed, it will still ache. But if I'm tweaking the pain doesn't matter. I also compulsively stretch. I can put my chin on my knees with straight legs, but ask me to stop and I'll make you wait until I finish every muscle.
If I am tweaking, I am smoking a ciggarette. If I am in class tweaking, then I am probably that kid who answers all the questions and makes the best observations. If I'm listening to a song, I will turn it off, go to class, and have just that last song stuck in my head. I will hum, occasional add a lyric or a little dance, I can't help it.
I have more close friends than ever. Most of them like the tweaking me more. I'm just happier and more talkitive. I also give them plenty pills too, that might help.
If I could go back to that first little white and orange on that first offered palm, who knows. Maybe I'd take it, maybe I'd resist. Maybe I'd flip a quarter. I tell myself to stop, I bargain over days without and how many I can take. I make promises then break them five minutes later by popping a pill and going crazy.
Last week, I scratched my skin off my ankle it was itching so bad. No mosquito bite, no rash. Now I know that itchyness is a reported side effect of adderall. A couple days after that I gave someone a dollar for a half finished cig. They wanted it cause it was their last and their first of the day.  Today I gave an adderall to a kid who takes MAOIs twice a day. Right now I know that could be fatal.
Right now, all I want to do is forget about the teeth, the cigs, the sore muscles, the cost, the over reactions, the excess thinking, and my slowly unraveling mind and memory.
I think I'm gonna go do that now. Peace.

{{ page.description }}
I regularly listen to podcasts. Many podcast episodes are structured around an interview with a guest. A common interview technique (and icebreaker, I suppose) is to ask the guest how he or she became a voice in the field that's the topic for the episode. Surprisingly often, the answer is that it's basically a happy coincidence. He or she was young, had no specific plans, but tried a few things until eventually becoming enamoured with a particular topic.
That's not just technology podcasts. I also listen to interviews with scientists and artists on a variety of topics.
A few people are driven from an early age to study something specific. Most, it seems, are not. I'm no exception. I had a false start as an economist, but was so extremely fortunate that the 1990's were such a boom decade of IT that you could get a job in the field if you could spell HTML.
It seems to me that it's a common (Western) experience for a young person to start adult life without much of a plan, but an unrealised responsiveness to certain stimuli. As a young person, you may have a general notion of your own inclinations, so you seek out certain activities and avoid others. Still, you may not really know yourself.
I didn't know myself at 18. After gymnasium (~ high school) in 1989 my best friend started at computer science at the University of Copenhagen. I had no experience with computers and thought it sounded incredibly dry. I wanted to be a rock star or a comic book artist in the French-Belgian style.
In order to get an education, though, I started at economics at the University of Copenhagen. Talk about a dry subject.
Well, at least I learned game theory, n-dimensional topology, optimal control theory, chaos theory, and some other branches of mathematics, so perhaps the years weren't entirely wasted...
Computers weren't on my radar, but I soon realised that it'd be practical to buy a PC in order to write my thesis.
So, I bought one and soon found the computer much more interesting than economics.
You may not realise that you'll love something until you try it.
I recently wrote an article about the cognitive dissonance I felt when interacting with many of my heroes. The ensuing Twitter discussion was enlightening.
Many of my heroes balk at being called heroes or thought leaders, but I agree with Hillel Wayne:
"That's why, incidentally, "thought leaders" have so much weight in our industry. We like to make fun of them, but fact of the matter is that the Thought Leaders are the ones actually trying to communicate their techniques.
"(That's why I want to unironically be a Thought Leader)"
I've been called a though leader a few times already, and like Hillel Wayne, I gratefully accept the label.
There's little scientific evidence about what works in software development, and most innovation happens behind closed doors. Thought leaders are those that observe and share the innovation with the rest of the world.
I follow though leaders on Twitter, listen to podcasts on which they are guests, and read books.
I learned a lot from the discussion related to my article about feeling stuck. I feel that I better understand why opposing views exist. Much has to do with context and nuance, two important factors easily lost on Twitter.
I also think that personal experience plays a big role. Thought leaders share anecdotal evidence. As is also the case in science and business, we tend to share our successes.
What feels like a success is what resonates with us.
It's like the serendipity when you're young and finally encounter something that feels compatible with you. Should we call it serendipity-driven development?
A couple of examples may be in order.
While I now have an increased awareness of what motivates other thought leaders, I still often disagree. It wouldn't be unnatural if our personal experiences with particular practices influence our positions.
One such example is pair programming. In an interview (sorry, can't remember which) Robert C. Martin told how he found test-driven development dumb until either Kent Beck or Ward Cunningham paired with him to show him the light. Recently, Brian Marick shared a similar experience:
"When I first heard of XP, I thought pair programming was the *second* stupidest idea I'd ever heard. The stupidest was everyone working in the same team room (*not* an "open office"). But..."
This seems to be a common experience with pair programming. Most people dislike it until they have actually tried it.
Well, I've tried both pair programming and ensemble (AKA mob) programming, and I don't like it.
That's all: It's my preference - not any sort of objective truth. What little scientific evidence we can find in our field does seem to indicate that pair programming is efficient. In my book Code That Fits in Your Head I've put aside my dislike to instead endorse pair and ensemble programming as something you should consider.
There's enough evidence (anecdotal and otherwise) that it works well for many people, so give it a try.
I also use it myself. While I find it exhausting, I find ensemble programming incredibly well-suited to knowledge transfer. I've used it to great success when teaching development organisations new ways of doing things.
Even with the nicest people in the room, however, the process drains me. One reason is probably that I've a strong introvert side to my personality.
Another perspective to consider is the role you assume.
A common theme when people share stories of how they saw the light of pair programming is that they learned it from luminaries. If Kent Beck or Ward Cunningham personally tutors you, it's easy to see how it could feel like a revelation.
On the other hand, survivorship bias could be at work. Perhaps Kent Beck showed pair programming and test-driven development to many people who never caught the bug, and thus never discussed it in public.
In my own experience, I mostly taught myself test-driven development long before I tried pair programming, and I'd heard about pair programming long before I tried it. When I did try it, I wasn't the person being taught. I was in the role of the teacher.
Teaching is both a satisfying and exhausting activity. I do consider myself a teacher of sorts, but I prefer to write. Whenever I've taught a workshop, given a lecture, or consulted, I'm always left happy but exhausted. It's really hard work.
So is pair programming, in my experience. Efficient, most likely, but hard work. I can't muster much enthusiasm about it.
Another topic about which I regularly disagree with others is REST. Just try to find some of my articles tagged REST and read the comments.
For the record, the crowd who disagrees with me is a completely different set of people than those with whom I disagree about pair programming and other agile practices.
The people who disagree with me about REST may be right, and I could be wrong. My views on REST are strongly influenced by early experience. Do be aware of the pattern.
In early 2012 a client asked for my help designing a stable API. The customer didn't ask me to design a REST API - in fact, I think he had a SOAP API in mind, but he was open to other options. One requirement was clear, though: The API had to be exceptionally stable and backwards compatible. There was a reason for this.
My customer's business was to provide a consumer-grade online service. They were currently talking to a hardware producer who'd include support for the service in consumer hardware. Imagine thousands (perhaps millions) of devices sitting in people's homes, using the online service via the API we were about to design.
Even if the hardware producer were to enable firmware upgrades of the devices, there'd be no way we could roll out new versions of client software in a controlled way. This meant that backwards compatibility was a top priority.
I'd recently learned enough about REST to see the opportunity, so I suggested it as a principle for designing APIs that could evolve without breaking backwards compatibility.
The resulting REST API was a success, and I worked with that client for many years on other projects.
This experience clearly shaped my view on REST. To me, the major benefit of REST is the ability to design evolvable APIs without breaking changes. It does work best, however, if you design level 3 REST APIs.
People use HTTP APIs for all sorts of other reasons. Perhaps the driving factor isn't evolvability, but rather interoperability. Perhaps they're developing backends for frontends or APIs strictly for internal use in an organisation. In some scenarios you can easier schedule updates of clients to coincide with updates to the API, in which case backwards compatibility is less of a concern.
Another concern about API design is who's empowered by your design. It seems fair to say that a level 2 REST API is an easier sell. To many client developers, that's all they've ever encountered - they've never seen a level 3 REST API.
I readily admit that a level 3 REST API puts an additional up-front burden on client developers. Such a design is a long game. If the API is active for many years, such investments are likely to pay off, while it may not be worthwhile in the short term. It could even hurt initial adoption, so it's not a one-size-fits-all architectural choice.
In the context of thought leadership, however, my point is that I acknowledge that my view on REST, too, is flavoured by initial personal success.
I think it's natural to latch on to certain practices via serendipity, You go through life without being aware of a thing that turns out to be highly compatible with your preferences in a given context. Until you one day do encounter it, and it changes your life.
I consider this only human. It's certainly happened to me multiple times, and I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen to others.
Perhaps the people extolling the virtues of pair programming had great initial experiences that they've managed to carry forward. For me, the experience has been another.
Likewise, I had an initial positive experience with REST that surely influenced my position on its virtues. Other people could have had a negative experience, and naturally protest against my ideas. There's nothing wrong with that.
"Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable"
Thought leadership strikes me as similar to Friedman's ideas on policy alternatives. I don't see my role as an enforcer of ideas. I write in order to keep certain ideas alive, in the hope that one day, someone picks them up and uses them.

38; 12023 H.E.
I don’t like three kinds of people, which boils some of my general views pretty succinctly: people who cheat, people who have a knack for doing wretched things, and finally, people who are on purpose annoyingly loud or inconsiderate of others. Some might even say I have high expectations of people or harshly judge them. It surprises me even further that staying decent human beings isn’t considered common sense anymore. Still, something to be debated and celebrated as an outstanding achievement or an impossible task, especially with how popular (and dangerous) the fetishization of mental health problems and depression has become.
Those who cheat rationally cannot be trusted. To ask a naive rhetorical question, what can you do with people you don’t trust? Sure, if you are some sort of a movie protagonist or read the first page of some game theory textbook – you would try to take advantage of that by playing clever "nobody trusts no one" mind games. However, let’s talk about something that matters. (This argument talks more about cheating, betrayals, and stabs in the back; as you know, “white lies make the world go round”).
How can you trust a friend or a romantic partner if you have no faith in them? Or them in you? What productive or worthwhile connection can be built on such a flaky foundation? We are talking about serious commitments, such as having kids, who, I remind you, are whole human beings. They can’t be rolled back as a mistake if parents somewhat later realize they never loved each other or the trust has been broken sometime before, and instead of ending it there, they decide to bring new people into the world. There you have every childhood trauma, longings for closures, divorces appearing en masse.
 Those people are not worth a dime in my eyes. Your friends, family members, and partners – doesn’t matter. Those affected need to sit down together and find the best path of parting ways and ending that relationship, such that there is new space for forming better, more fulfilling bonds.
The above could be considered a subset of doing something wretched, as cheating might be a prime example of them. No wonder Leo Tolstoy’s finest novel is wholly dedicated to a story of an unfaithful marriage. We need to understand what “wretched” means in this context. The definition I use here is more of an old one, meaning something “lacking worth, poor in beauty, something close to misery”. Wretched, mind you, is not too far away from the beauty of this world. For example, one can drink alcohol responsibly, for taste, so to speak, in class. However, others could start drowning themselves in it to forget their lives or because they have nothing better to do. Fundamentally, it’s the same act of consuming alcohol, but for different purposes, resulting in wildly antithetical perceptions.
 All these grustlers and hustlers out there give us honest workaholics a bad name. However, I also understand the cataclysmic contrast of life, as Anton Chekhov notes,
There are no plots in life; everything is mixed in it - the deep with the small, the great with the insignificant, the tragic with the funny.
We need the lowly, the tragical, and the ugly to bring out the high comedy and beauty. However, this does not mean we can sit squarely on our rear ends, crossing our hands and giving up on doing anything else about it. As anything has the potential to reach extremes on either side of the spectrum, we should always strive to be better and strive to find the balance between the two, such that we are pleased to be ourselves for ourselves and for the ones we love. We now come to the following kind.
“People who are on purpose annoyingly loud or inconsiderate of others.” This one is more of a comedic relief, as, for example, I hate when people chew loudly when they’re in companies of others. And no, they don’t have the “absolute” freedom to do whatever they want in public or in the presence of others. Freedom is of utmost importance to our individual selves and society, such that it requires a delicate balance to actually be called “freedom.” Allowing anyone to do it at any time will result in debauchery and many taking their desires (some fatal) to their extremities. This is not freedom.
Respecting the basic foundation of general etiquette when conversing with others or enjoying their presence signifies mutual respect. Respect between people for each other’s time, personal spaces, and information we consume from the world on a day-to-day basis.
Ultimately, we are all simply human beings trying to live our lives the best we can, trying to make ends meet, care for whom we love, and find love if we allow ourselves to be seen in return. Treating each other with dignity and pride, as we wish to be treated in return, goes a long way. ◼

MEHDI on 7 May 2023, At (Home) Aruna Nagar Etah, U.P
It's one of the oldest traditional Indian pre wedding ceremony
where the bride and groom attend the event together and a
professional mehndi artist applies mehndi to the bride's hands
and feet. This will be having a celebratory festival feel to it
with people wearing vibrant clothes and dancing, singing,
playing games and a lot more.
SANGEET on 10 May 2023, At F M Vatika Firozabad, U.P
This event is no way close to ethnic. The bride & groom would
like to have some "shots before the knot". With booze flowing
down the floor and the western attire on, everyone would be busy
showing off their new moves on the stage which they have finely
honed. Lastly, expect some beer pong matches & karaoke for sure.
HALDI on 10 May 2023, At (HOME) Aruna Nagar Etah, U.P
The haldi ceremony is usually held separately for the bride and
the groom. This one is for the bride. It is a low-key event that
involves the application of turmeric paste on the hands, legs
and face of the bride. The groom is not allowed to see the bride
after this ritual until the final wedding ceremony starts.
WEDDING on 10 May 2023, At F M Vatika Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh
This is the main event in the entire wedding when the bride and
the groom tie the knot. The groom comes with the barat and is
greeted by the bride side with some dhol of course as maximum
number of guests would be attending this event. This is when the
couple circle the sacred fire and are finally declared husband
and wife.


TWISTER A film review by John Robertson Copyright 1996 John Robertson
Starring: Helen Hunt, Bill Pullman, Cary Elwes, Jamie Gertz
Perfect Person Rating*: The Perfect Person for this film is a fan of action, a fan of Helen Hunt or Bill Paxton, and above all, a fan of jaw dropping special effects. The Perfect Person for this film would probably give it a 8 out of 10.
----
Twister tries to be Speed meets Jurassic Park. I could just be saying that because it's directed by Jan de Bont (Speed) and written by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park), but it's not just that. Twister is a film that uses arguably the most amazing special effects of any film to try and put the viewer on a roller coaster that won't let them off - sound like a melding of the two films? Well, Twister works well on one of the two levels it attempts, and fails on the other.
There is no denying the power of the visual and audio effects in Twister. There were times that even though I'd seen the previews, and prepared myself for what the movie would throw at me, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. The film's use of computer generated effects, particularly the way they can take a broad landscape shot and insert a tornado and the carnage it creates was very impressive.
The other thing that the film tried to accomplish, namely putting the viewer on a non-stop roller coaster, just wasn't accomplished. When there were tornados on the screen, the action was the best around. When the tornados were sleeping, so was the audience. Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt turn in fine performances (better than I expected, to be honest), but the plot strung around the tornados, particularly the human plot, the characterizations, was very weak.
Helen Hunt is a tornado chaser, a scientist dedicated to understanding twisters, so families won't be destroyed by the sudden funnel of death that drops without warning and without reason. Bill Paxton is her estranged husband, who used to work at her side, but left for some reason to become a weather man. His return to obtain the divorce papers sets the plot in motion, as Helen Hunt's character is about to attempt to launch an experimental device into the next twister that will let scientists learn more about tornados than they ever have before.
As tornado after tornado appears around the characters, scene after scene of energizing action occurs. But when the tornados leave, we're left with Paxton and Hunt attempting to fill in the scientists personal motives, and the horrible acting of Elwes (the evil CORPORATE scientist) and Gertz (Paxton's new fiancee).
One thing that was amusing but puzzling was the array of NBC actors who had small roles. Some, but not all, were the big guy from E.R, Cameron from Ferris Beuhler's Day Off (now on Mad About You), and Sam from The Single Guy. Although none of these people put in a bad performance, you had to wonder why they were there at all, their roles were so small.
One last piece of advice, if you're going to see this movie (and I do recommend it if you fit the Perfect Person description at all), is to see it in the theater, where the sounds and sights will hit you with the force they were intended to hit with.

* Perfect Person Rating: The Perfect Person Rating is an attempt to give the reader a new way of understanding my rating. Rather than give a film a score, either overall, or on several attributes, the Perfect Person Rating tries to identify the type of person would enjoy this movie the most. Since a reviewer is by nature someone with a great deal of experience in what they are reviewing, their experience may not be the same as someone who is less informed, less jaded, or more attuned to the subject. Hopefully the Perfect Person Rating will go further toward eliminating reviewer bias than a simple rating scale. Comments are appreciated.

My roommate and I needed a table for our room, but we didn’t want to go through the hassle of buying and selling. We also are planning on moving apartments, and needed something that wasn’t a hassle to move or store. I decided to build one with two requirements: must be foldable or easy to store in some way and about 1.5' x 2' x 2' in size.
I made hand sketches for different designs involving hinges, folding legs, and acrylic and wood pieces. I decided to go with the simplest model – acrylic is expensive, and adding a hinge is an additional step. I made a SolidWorks model of my final design: the table is made of plywood, has legs that fold into the table, and has a design on the top.
Some quick prototyping:
This design is hand-drawn and original. I scanned it and edit it using a Wacom tablet, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. I then scored the wood with it.
I CNCed the legs on a Shopbot and cut out the pieces for the top using a table saw. To hold the tabletop together, I used biscuits to make the connected edges stronger.

I wanted the legs to be flush to the table top edges, but there was a lot of instability in the original design. I added beams reaching across the legs with threaded inserts and used screws to secure the legs to the beams. It is still easy to remove with a hex key.
Finally, I sanded it (400 grit) and applied a few coats of polyurethane and wax.

A short and easy sail away from Bora Bora (26 nm away), Maupiti is called the paradise destination to discover.
This little island offers a well protected lagoon however entry into and out of the pass can only be achieved in settled weather, hence, fewer yachts venture here.
People here have been less touched by tourism and are very hospitable. The village of Vaiea is small and charming.
No check-in here but prior permission from the Gendarmerie in Bora Bora is required.
A word of caution about the pass. It is well marked with 2 bearing ranges and several lateral markers. The best time to enter the pass is midday as the continual outgoing tidal current is at its lowest. Do not enter if swell is higher than 5 ft or if strong winds from the S-SE as the waves will make the pass too dangerous to negotiate.
Public dock available for loading/unloading. Check schedule of local freighters.
There are six mooring balls at Pte Tamaupiti (just west of the pass) and 3 more in town. The town anchorage has good holding in sand (10-30ft) and is well protected. There is a dinghy dock here.

"Rules of the Internet" is a loose collection of rules and aphorisms spawned by the infamous 4chan Image Board. Depending on whom you ask, they are either not meant to be taken seriously or are very Serious Business. Most of them don't apply except for within the community they originated from, and the list is continuously changing, but through Memetic Mutation, a handful have become well-known.
Also, almost none of the numbers are standardized, so it's not uncommon to find many rules reordered or simply replaced altogether. The only numbers that are standardized are Rule 34, Rule 50, and Rule 63, as well as possibly Rules 1 and 2 (and that's probably only because of Fight Club).
Some of the more notable rulesnote include:
- Rule 1: You don't talk about /b/.
- Rule 2: You DON'T talk about /b/.
- Rule 3: We are Anonymous.
- Rule 4: We are legion.
- Rule 5: We do not forgive, we do not forget.
- Rule 6: /b/ is not your personal army.
- Rule 7: No matter how much you love debating, keep in mind that no one on the internet debates.
- Rule 9: Anonymous is still able to deliver.
- Rule 10: There are no real rules about posting.
- Rule 11: There are no real rules about moderation either — enjoy your ban.
- Rule 12: Anything you say can and will be used against you.
- Rule 13: Anything you say can and will be turned into something else.
- Rule 14: Do not argue with trolls — it means they win.
- Rule 15: The harder you try, the harder you will fail.
- Rule 16: If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning failure.
- Rule 17: Every win fails eventually.
- Rule 18: Everything that can be labelled can be hated.
- Rule 19: The more you hate it, the stronger it gets.
- Rule 20: Nothing is to be taken seriously.
- Rule 21: Pictures or it didn't happen.
- Rule 22: Original content is original only for a few seconds before it's no longer original. Every post is always a repost of a repost.
- Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.
- Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet.
- Rule 32: You must have pictures to prove your statements/Anything can be explained with a picture.
- Rule 33: Lurk more — it's never enough.
- Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.
- Rule 36: No matter what it is, it is somebody's fetish.

- Rule 38: No real limits of any kind apply here — not even the sky.
- Rule 39: CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
- Rule 40: EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER
- Rule 41: Desu isn't funny. Seriously guys. It's worse than Chuck Norris jokes.note
- Rule 42: Nothing is Sacred.
- Rule 44: If it exists, there is a version of it for your fandom... and it has a wiki and possibly a tabletop version with a theme song performed by a Vocaloid.
- Rule 45: If there is not, there will be.

- Rule 47: The only good hentai is Yuri, that's how the internet works. Only exception may be Vanilla.
- Rule 48: The pool is always closed.
- Rule 49: You cannot divide by zero (just because the calculator says so)
- Rule 50: A Crossover, no matter how improbable, will eventually happen in Fan Art, Fan Fiction, or official release material, often through fanfiction of it.
- Rule 62: It has been cracked and pirated. You can find anything if you look long enough.
- Rule 63: For every given male character, there is a female version of that character (and vice-versa). And there is always porn of that character.
- Rule 64: If it exists, there's an AU of it.
- Rule 65: If there isn't, there will be.
- Rule 66: Everything has a fandom, everything.
- Rule 67: 90% of fanfiction is the stuff of nightmares.

Tropes Named by the Rules of the Internet:

- Serious Business: named by rule 46
- There Are No Girls on the Internet : Rule 30, memetic version
Tropes associated with the Rules of the Internet:
- Corrupt the Cutie: Rule 43
- Crossover: Rules 50 and Rule 44; There are even cases of well-known video game characters, turned into ponies, and then modded into Touhou games. You can control Pyramid Head Pony in a SHMUP that used to feature Moe anime girls.
- Digital Piracy Is Evil and/or Digital Piracy Is Okay: Rule 62
- Epic Fail: Rule 16
- Forced Meme: Rule 41 is a reminder that repeating something over and over again doesn't make it funny nor does it make it a meme.
- Four Is Death: Rule 4
- Epic Fail - Rule 15
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Rule 9001 is "It's over 9000!!!"
- G.I.F.T.: Rule 7, Rule 12, Rule 13, Rule 14, Rule 18, Rule 42 and Rule 43 are pretty GIFTed.
- Rule 48 is metaphor for "GIFTed people always spoil the fun".
- G.I.R.L.: Rule 29 and Rule 30
- Girl-on-Girl Is Hot: Rule 47
- Homage: Rules 1 and 2.
- Hypocritical Humor: Many of the rules contradict themselves later.

- Memetic Mutation: Everywhere. They are the rules of this trope, after all.
- Morton's Fork: Rule 35
- Pedo Hunt: Rule 29
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Perhaps the only surefire way to exempt yourself from any rule of the internet- or even real life- is to use your massive affluence to make yourself immune from any rules. Who would tell you you're breaking the rules when you're the one with their tax money?
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Rule 10 and Rule 38
- Shaped Like Itself: Rule 9001
- Shout-Out: Many rules of the internet are references, e.g. Rule 42 or rules particular to certain communities that may be localised memes.
- Rule 42 is a subversion in that it states "nothing is sacred". It's effectively an anti-shoutout.
- Sparse List of Rules: Rule 34 was written first, and even now there are a number of gaps of varying size.
- Streisand Effect: The idea behind Rule 19.
- Subverted Kids Show: Rule 43 in action- corrupting an innocent kid's show into something amusing to adults.
- The Wiki Rule: Rule 44 includes this.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
