ROBOCOP A film review by Randy Parker Copyright 1996 Randy Parker
RATING: *** (out of ****)
(Review written in 1987)
ROBOCOP is an intelligent science fiction thriller and social satire, one with class and style. The film, set in Old Detroit in the year 1991, stars Peter Weller as Murphy, a lieutenant on the city's police force. 1991's Detroit suffers from rampant crime and a police department run by a private contractor (Security Concepts Inc.) whose employees (the cops) are threatening to strike. To make matters worse, a savage group of cop-killers has been terrorizing the city. On Murphy's first day of duty, after his transfer from another precinct, these cop-killers brutally murder him by shooting off his limbs one by one. (Orion Pictures had to edit this extremely graphic scene in order to get an R rating from the M.P.A.A.)
After the emergency room staff at the hospital cannot save Murphy and declare him clinically dead, S.C.I. recruits his remains for their new "Robocop" program. Using the remains of Murphy's body as a foundation, their scientists build a cyborg, made of both flesh and metal. The cyborg (Robocop) is half human (Murphy) and half robot; the S.C.I. engineers have erased Murphy's memory and replaced it with a computer program (or so they think). With his lightning quick reflexes, immense strength, and impenetrable armor, S.C.I. envisions Robocop as an indestructible super-cop: the solution to Detroit's problems. The remainder of the plot follows Robocop's crime-foiling and vengeance on his murderers.
As a science fiction action-thriller, ROBOCOP is extremely effective. Dutch director Paul Verhoeven combines gritty action with suspense, shocking gore, and spectacular special effects. Several sequences in the film, such as the one in which Robocop employs his extremely precise aim to stop a rapist, are destined to become cult-classics. Because ROBOCOP is so visually and emotionally rousing, it demands to be seen on a large screen with an audience--in other words, in a movie theater.
Although the special effects and action are exciting, they do not by themselves set ROBOCOP apart from other films in the genre. Rather, ROBOCOP stands out for its accurate and biting satire of American society. The movie makes a mockery of The Star Wars Defense Initiative, terrorism, board games, and television news broadcasts with air-headed anchors. These news broadcasts, which are exceptionally clever, recur periodically throughout the movie and help to provide comic relief from the intense action and gore. The satire in ROBOCOP, however, is almost as frightening in its own way as the suspense and blood. 1990's America, as portrayed in the film, may seem far fetched but is in actuality (I think) only a slight exaggeration of the current state of American society. The humorous satire in Robocop is simultaneously credible and absurd. Verhoeven adroitly balances the satirical comedy with the gory action to create an entertaining and enlightening piece of science fiction/social commentary.
Unfortunately, ROBOCOP possesses several flaws which prevent it from qualifying as a classic within the genre. The movie lacks the lasting impact of such films as THE ROAD WARRIOR, THE TERMINATOR, and ALIENS. ROBOCOP's main problem, aside from its dumb title, is that it does not sufficiently develop Murphy's character. We never learn the degree to which Murphy (as Robocop) is human and the degree to which he is a robot.  The script halfheartedly raises these issues but then abandons them in its climactic flurry of gory action. Moreover, it almost completely ignores the question (and tragedy) of denying a man his right to die in favor of turning him into a machine. ROBOCOP also contains several bothersome loose-ends.
As you watch ROBOCOP, you experience deja vu; you feel as if you have seen the film before. In many respects, ROBOCOP is reminiscent of several other films, including THE TERMINATOR, RETURN OF THE JEDI, and even DEATH WISH. However, to its credit, ROBOCOP easily has enough originality and unique personality to avoid becoming a cheap rip-off.

This library is not intended to be taken seriously, as it is made just for fun and learning purposes. One may find it useful but any use in production environments, research studies, etc. is discouraged.
This javascript matrix library comes from the need to perform various numeric matrix operations during the course of some assignments at college. The lack of one of those fancy graphic calculators, my reluctance in spending money buying one and the growing interest in javascript took me to start writing most of the code found here. After six months or so I have managed to put this sort of library and learned some more linear algebra and algorithms during the process.
In case you find this useful, or end up ignoring my first advice and use it somewhere, I will be delighted to know it so feel free to mail me at the email address found in the source code. Moreover, if you happen to find any mistakes (I am pretty sure there are a ton of them) in the source code or in this document, you can issue them at its github repository at https://github.com/dhuertas/mat.js.
Happy coding!

var A = new MAT({ rows: 2, columns: 2, values: [1, 2, 3, 4], maxrounds: 1000});
When set to true
the result values will be stored in the same matrix instance, overwriting the previous ones (not to be confused with in-place algorithms). The aim is to reduce the amount of memory and time used to perform iterative operations.

Compares the shape of the matrix against the one in the argument.
.isSameSize(matrix)
true
when both matrices have the same shape (same number of rows and columns).The following example compares two matrices that have the same number of rows and columns and outputs the string same size:
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]); if (A.isSameSize(B)) { document.write('same size'); } else { documenet.write('different size'); }
Performs the addition of two matrices (A + B).
.add(matrix)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the ones of the first matrix, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]); var C = A.add(B); // [1, 2, 3] [9, 8, 7] // C = [4, 5, 6] + [6, 5, 4] // [7, 8, 9] [3, 2, 1] document.write(C.toString()); // outputs "10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10" document.write(A.toString()); // outputs "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9" // Now with the overwrite attribute set to true A.overwrite = true; A.add(B); document.write(A.toString()); // outputs "10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10"
Performs the subtraction of two matrices from left to right (A - B).
.subtract(matrix)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the ones of the first matrix, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]); var C = A.subtract(B); // [1, 2, 3] [9, 8, 7] // C = [4, 5, 6] - [6, 5, 4] // [7, 8, 9] [3, 2, 1] document.write(C.toString()); // outputs "-8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8" document.write(A.toString()); // outputs "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9" // Now with the overwrite attribute set to true A.overwrite = true; A.subtract(B); document.write(A.toString()); // outputs "-8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8"
Performs the product of two matrices (from left to right AB). The number of columns of the first matrix must match the number of rows of the second one.
This is the naive product algorithm. The strassenProduct is asymptotically faster for large matrices.
.product(matrix)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the ones of the first matrix, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]); var C = A.product(B); // [1, 2, 3] [1, 0, 1] // C = [4, 5, 6] * [0, 1, 0] // [7, 8, 9] [0, 1, 1] document.write(C.toString()); // outputs "1, 5, 4, 4, 11, 10, 7, 17, 16" // Now with the overwrite attribute set to true A.overwrite = true; A.product(B); document.write(A.toString()); // outputs "1, 5, 4, 4, 11, 10, 7, 17, 16"
Performs the product of two matrices (from left to right AB) using the Strassen's algorithm. This algorithm is asymptotically faster than the naive method for large matrices.
.strassenProduct(matrix)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the ones of the first matrix, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]); var C = A.strassenProduct(B); document.write(C.toString()); // outputs "30,24,18,84,69,54,138,114,90" // [ 30, 24, 18] // [ 84, 69, 54] // [138, 114, 90]
The next table shows some average running times for different matrix sizes:
| Size | Naive | Strassen |
|---|---|---|
| 4x4 | - ms | 1 ms |
| 8x8 | - ms | 1 ms |
| 16x16 | 2 ms | 9.5 ms |
| 32x32 | 9.5 ms | 14.5 ms |
| 64x64 | 75 ms | 93.5 ms |
| 128x128 | 587 ms | 661 ms |
| 256x256 | 4835.5 ms | 4670 ms |
| 512x512 | 39319 ms | 34827.5 ms |
| 1024x1024 | 426434.5 ms | 243014 ms |
It seems that at a size between 128 and 256 Strassen's algorithm starts to perform better than the naive algorithm, although the memory required for the Strassen's algorithm should be taken into account.
Performs the Hadamard product of two matrices (from left to right AB).
.hadamardProduct(matrix)
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); var B = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]); var C = A.hadamardProduct(B); // [1, 2, 3] [1, 0, 1] // C = [4, 5, 6] o [0, 1, 0] // [7, 8, 9] [0, 1, 1] document.write(C.toString()); // outputs "1,0,3,0,5,0,0,8,9" // [1, 0, 3] // [0, 5, 0] // [0, 8, 9]
Performs the scalar product between the matrix and a scalar.
.scalarProduct(value)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the ones of the first matrix, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.

Returns the hermitian matrix (conjugate transpose).
.hermitian()
None.
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the previous ones, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(2, 2, [3, [2,3], [2,-1], 1]); document.write(A.hermitian().toString()); // outputs "3,[2,1],[2,-3],1"
Returns the trace of the matrix. That is, the sum of all the elements in the main diagonal.
.trace()
None.
var A = new MAT(2, 2, [3, [2,3], [2,-1], 1]); document.write(A.trace());
The previous code will print 4.
Returns the trace of the matrix upper diagonals.
.upperTrace(diagonal)
0
for the main diagonal to columns-1
).var A = new MAT(4, 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13,14,15,16 ]); document.write(A.upperTrace(1)); // outputs 21 (2 + 7 + 12) document.write(A.upperTrace(2)); // outputs 11 (3 + 8)
Returns the trace of the matrix lower diagonals.
.lowerTrace(diagonal)
0
for the main diagonal to rows-1
).var A = new MAT({ rows: 4, columns: 4, values: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13,14,15,16] }); document.write(A.lowerTrace(1)); // outputs 30 (= 5 + 10 + 15) document.write(A.lowerTrace(2)); // outputs 23 (= 9 + 14)
Returns a smaller matrix obtained by removing the row and the column at a specified position.
.minor(row, column)
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the previous ones, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); document.write(A.minor(2, 2).toString()); // outputs "1,2,4,5"
Returns the determinant of the matrix.
The algorithm uses the Laplace's formula by default, which is useful for small matrices. In order to speed things up, the user is able to select one of the following decomposition methods: lu, qr.
.determinant([method])
Note: when using the QR decomposition method, the result is the absolute value of the matrix determinant.
Following the example extracted from the wikipedia article:
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [-2, 2, 3, -1, 1, 3, 2, 0, -1]); document.write(A.determinant()); // outputs 6 document.write(A.determinant('lu')); // throws "division by 0" document.write(A.determinant('qr')); // outputs 5.999999999999997
Note that the previous matrix cannot be LU decomposed. LUP decomposition (LU with partial or full Pivoting), which overcomes this limitation, is not implemented yet.
This other example, extracted from another wikipedia article, demonstrates the diferent values returned when using each method:
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [12, -51, 4, 6, 167, -68, -4, 24, -41]); document.write(A.determinant()); // outputs -85750 document.write(A.determinant('lu')); // outputs -85749.99999999999 document.write(A.determinant('qr')); // outputs 85750.00000000009
This is an alias for the determinant method.
.det([method])
View the previous determinant examples.
Performs the Gaussian elimination algorithm. This is the method teached at school to solve systems of linear equations.
.gaussElimination()
None.
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the previous ones, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
The following example is extracted from the wikipedia article:
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [2, 1, -1, -3, -1, 2, -2, 1, 2]); // [ 2, 1, -1] // A = [-3, -1, 2] // [-2, 1, 2] var Extended = new MAT(3, 4, [2, 1, -1, 8, -3, -1, 2, -11, -2, 1, 2, -3]); // [ 2, 1, -1| 8] // Extended = [-3, -1, 2|-11] // [-2, 1, 2| -3] document.write(A.gaussElimination().toString()); // outputs "2,1,-1,0,0.5,0.5,0,0,-1" // [2, 1, -1] // [0, 0.5, 0.5] // [0, 0, -1] document.write(Extended.gaussElimination().toString()); // outputs "2,1,-1,8,0,0.5,0.5,1,0,0,-1,1" // [2, 1, -1| 8] // [0, 0.5, 0.5| 1] // [0, 0, -1| 1]
Performs the Gauss elimination method and then solves the system of linear equations using backward substitution.
.solve(array)
var A = new MAT({ rows: 3, columns: 3, values: [2, 1, -1, -3, -1, 2, -2, 1, 2] }); var result = A.solve([8, -11, -3]); document.write(result.toString()); // outputs "2,3,-1"
Performs the Gram-Schmidt process (orthonormalize a set of vectors).
.gramSchmidt()
None.
Note: when the overwrite
attribute is set to true
the result values will overwrite the previous ones, returning a reference to itself instead of a new matrix.
var A = new MAT({ rows: 3, columns: 3, values: [2, 1, -1, -3, -1, 2, -2, 1, 2] }); var result = A.gramSchmidt(); document.write(result.toString()); //outputs: // [ 0.48507125007266594, 0.41166465371081584, 0.7715167498104589] // [ -0.7276068751089989, -0.2993924754260479, 0.6172133998483683] // [-0.48507125007266594, 0.8607533668498878, -0.15430334996209222] // We can check that they are normalized ... document.write(result.getColumn(0).norm()); // outputs "1" document.write(result.getColumn(1).norm()); // outputs "1" document.write(result.getColumn(2).norm()); // outputs "1" // ... and orthogonal result.getColumn(0).transpose().product(result.getColumn(1)); // outputs "0" result.getColumn(0).transpose().product(result.getColumn(2)); // outputs "-6.522560269672795e-16" result.getColumn(1).transpose().product(result.getColumn(2)); // outputs "-7.494005416219807e-16"
Note that since javascript performs floating point operations we may not obtain an exact number, but a really close one.
Performs the QR decomposition, that is, obtains an orthogonal matrix Q and an upper triangular matrix R (A = QR).

Obtains the eigenvalues of a square matrix using the QR algorithm. This method uses the attributes maxrounds
and error
to make sure the algorithm finishes in case the process does not converge.
.eigenValues()
None.
null
otherwise.var A = new MAT(2, 2, [2, -4, -1, -1]); var eigenvalues = A.eigenValues(); document.write(eigenvalues.toString()); // outputs "2.9999995960226222,-1.9999995960225925"
Note: the previous example takes 32 rounds to reach a lower trace with a lower value than 0.000001.
Obtains the eigenvectors of a square matrix using the QR algorithm. This method uses the attributes maxrounds
and error
to make sure the algorithm finishes in case the process does not converge.
Note: this method is not fully tested yet! Use at your own risk ;)

Returns the identity matrix I
, a square matrix with ones in the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
.identity(integer)
var A = new MAT(2, 2, [2, -4, -1, -1]); var I = new MAT().identity(2); document.write(A.product(I).toString()); // outputs "2,-4,-1,-1"
Returns a squared, diagonal matrix with different values in the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
.diagonal(array)
var D = new MAT().diagonal([1,2,3,4]); document.write(D.toString()); // [1,0,0,0] // [0,2,0,0] // [0,0,3,0] // [0,0,0,4]
Returns the p-norm over the set of values of the matrix. To obtain the p-norm of a column vector from a matrix the getColumn method should precede, or getRow for a row vector.
.pNorm(float)
var v = new MAT(3, 1, [1, 1, 1]); document.write(v.pNorm(2)); // outputs "1.7320508075688772" document.write(v.pNorm(1)); // outputs "3"
Note that for p=1
we get the Taxicab norm (or Manhattan norm) and for p=2
we get the Euclidean norm.
var A = new MAT(2, 2, [2, 1, 1, 2]); document.write(A.getColumn(0).pNorm(2)); // outputs 2.23606797749979
Returns the Euclidean norm over the set of values of the matrix. To obtain the Euclidean norm of a column vector from a matrix the getColumn method should precede, or getRow method for a row vector.
Note that this is the same as using the pNorm with 2 as argument.
.norm()
None.
var v = new MAT(3, 1, [1, 1, 1]); document.write(v.norm()); // outputs "1.7320508075688772" var A = new MAT(2, 2, [2, 1, 1, 2]); document.write(A.getColumn(0).norm()); // outputs 2.23606797749979
Turns a column or row vector to a Toeplitz matrix (each descending diagonal from left to right is constant).
.toToeplitz(integer)
var A = new MAT(3, 1, [1, 2, 3]); document.write(A.toToeplitz(5).toString()); // [1,0,0,0,0] // [2,1,0,0,0] // [3,2,1,0,0] // [0,3,2,1,0] // [0,0,3,2,1] // [0,0,0,3,2] // [0,0,0,0,3] document.write(A.toToeplitz(2).toString()); // [1,0] // [2,1] // [3,2] // [0,3]
Returns the inverse matrix of a non-singular matrix. The process uses the Cramer's rule, which is useful to find the inverse of small matrices. For larger matrices the use of this method is not recommended.
.inverse()
None.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [2, -1, 0, -1, 2, -1, 0, -1, 2]); var Ai = A.inverse(); document.write(Ai.toString()); // [0.75, 0.5, 0.25] // [ 0.5, 1, 0.5] // [0.25, 0.5, 0.75] document.write(Ai.product(A).toString()); // [1,0,0] // [0,1,0] // [0,0,1]
Returns the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse (generalized inverse matrix).
.pseudoInverse()
None.
var A = new MAT(3, 3, [2, -1, 0, -1, 2, -1, 0, -1, 2]); var Api = A.pseudoInverse(); document.write(Api.toString()); // [0.75, 0.5, 0.25] // [ 0.5, 1, 0.5] // [0.25, 0.5, 0.75]
In the previous example we can see that the pseudoinverse produces the same inverse matrix. This other example shows how to get the pseudoinverse of a nxm matrix:
var A = new MAT(3, 2, [1, 2, 3, -1, -2, 1]); var Api = A.pseudoInverse(); document.write(Api.toString()); // [ 0.16, 0.19999999999999998, -0.12] // [0.41333333333333333, -0.06666666666666668, 0.10666666666666667] document.write(Api.product(A).toString()); // [ 1, 2.7755575615628914e-17] // [-5.551115123125783e-17, 1]
We can see that the pseudoinverse is a left inverse.
Produces a Vandermonde matrix from a given set of values.
.toVandermonde(integer)
var V = new MAT({values: [1,2,3,4,5,6], overwrite: true}).toVandermonde(5); document.write(V.toString()); // [1, 1, 1, 1, 1] // [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] // [1, 3, 9, 27, 81] // [1, 4, 16, 64, 256] // [1, 5, 25, 125, 625] // [1, 6, 36, 216, 1296]
Returns a matrix filled with zeros.
.zero([array])
var Z = new MAT().zero([3, 4]); document.write(Z.toString()); // [0,0,0,0] // [0,0,0,0] // [0,0,0,0]


Getting Started with Mozilla
Getting started with Mozilla there are many areas where one can contribute to this organization.
Title
Hello readers, I would like to share my experience while contributing to the Mozilla the Open Source organization. Mozilla is very broad organization and developers in the organization are very helpful. I am inspired by the commitment of the developers I can surely say Mozilla is one of the best places where all the people around us help to develop our skills and help when we were struck anywhere.
This blog post lets you know how my journey with Mozilla is started and also how a complete beginner can start their contribution to this organization.
Getting started with Mozilla there are many areas where one can contribute to this organization. You can refer the link Developer-guide any time for building, contributing, submitting patches etc., This blog post mainly focusses on Firefox Desktop for Linux (the Linux-distribution used here is Ubuntu 16.04).
Let's get started:
- Make sure your system satisfies all the requirements before Building.
- These Requirements for Unix/Linux.
- 2G RAM with lots of available swap space. Additional RAM will significantly decrease build time.
- For debug builds: at least 8 GB free disk space
- For optimized builds: at least 1 GB free disk space (6 GB recommended)
- The following procedure is for 64 bit Linux Operating System. To check which bit processor you use, use the command
uname -m
in the terminal which gives
x86_64
denoting 64-bit processor. - You will need python 2.6 or 2.7 installed, which you can check with
python --version.
- Finally, a reasonably fast internet connection and 30GB of free disk space.
- These Requirements for Unix/Linux.
mkdir src && cd src
Next download the bootstrap.py script and save it in the "src/" directory.
Now you can start the bootstrapper using python 2.7 or 2.6 in the terminal
python bootstrap.py
Running this command leads you to some prompts and then follow them for building in the way you prefer if you are new to Mozilla and not sure what to choose? go with the default.
Community Access:
For contributing to any organization you need to get access to the developer community, IRC, mailing list, Bug-Tracker. Bugzilla is the Mozilla's issue tracker, you will need an account in this tracker to log into and comment or submit a patch for a bug. You can use GitHub account also for making an account. Most of the discussion in the community takes place in the IRC. You can ask for guidance and help during the build or fixing an error/bug in the IRC. I prefer the IRC client IRCCLOUD for chatting in the IRC. Follow this documentation to know how to use IRC. Some of the important channel names which may help you in the beginning are#introduction, #build, #coding, #newbies, #qa
these channels will help you by providing support and help.
Getting the source code:
If you didn't allow the bootstrapper to download the Mozilla-unified you can clone it using Mercurial (a VCS which Mozilla community uses).hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
**NOTE**: If your network is not fast enough or having any interruptions in the connection cloning will give some issues and source code will not be downloaded properly. For this try
(If cloning is completed without any errors you can skip this step).
Mercurial Bundle:
The advantage of building the source code using bundles is unlike the hg clone
you can pause and resume your download whenever there is an interruption to the connection. For this download the desired bundle of source code, you are interested in working and download it.
Up-to-date bundles of some repositories can be found in https://hg.mozilla.org/ which are available on a CDN (Content Delivery Network) at https://hg.cdn.mozilla.net/ you can download the Mozilla-central repository from here. Generally, zstd bundles are preferred they are smaller in size and faster to decompress but they are supported on the modern version of mercurial clients only. To avoid confusion rename the downloaded file as "bundle.hg".
Follow the below steps:
mkdir mozilla-central
hg init mozilla-central
cd mozilla-central
hg unbundle /...../bundle.hg
hg config --edit
or EDITOR= hg config --edit
[paths]Let
default = https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
hg pull
hg update
Here we initialized mercurial in the Mozilla-central directory. and configured .hgrc for default path, which will pull or push to the default link. Try to fix any errors if you encounter any in these steps. Once everything works properly, we successfully downloaded the source code for Firefox. The commands "hg pull" and "hg update" will help you to keep the source up-to-date.
Building the Source Code:
Building a source code is similar to compiling your program before execution here it is more simple. But if you are building Mozilla-central for the first time it's better to grab a cup of coffee and a novel to read, because it takes a lot of time for building. You can anytime build your code using :./mach build
If you encounter any errors related to LLVM/CLANG install the version asked for and again run "./mach build".
Let the fun begin:
With everything set you may now run your code and visualize the project when you run the code, using./mach run
which will launch the nightly version of Firefox. With this you are ready to hack into the firefox and explore, fix-issues, create new features ...etc., You can now start communicating to people via #introduction take up a "good-first-bug" and start contributing.
Have a happy contribution...
See you all later with another blog post.


static
.
An instance initializer may be static if it does not reference any of its class' non-static members. Static initializers are executed once the class is resolved, while instance initializers are executed on each instantiation of the class.
This inspection doesn't report instance empty initializers and initializers in anonymous classes.
Example:
class A {
public static String CONSTANT;
{
CONSTANT = "Hello";
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
class A {
public static String CONSTANT;
static {
CONSTANT = "Hello"; //now initialized only once per class
}
}

Use Cases
Open Policy Agent (OPA) is a general-purpose policy engine with uses ranging from authorization and admission control to data filtering. OPA provides greater flexibility and expressiveness than hard-coded service logic or ad-hoc domain-specific languages. And it comes with powerful tooling to help you get started.
Here are just a few examples of what you can do with OPA:


Class reference
Sans-serif
Use .font-sans
to apply a web safe sans-serif font family:
I'm a sans-serif paragraph.

I'm a sans-serif paragraph.

Serif
Use .font-serif
to apply a web safe serif font family:
I'm a serif paragraph.

I'm a serif paragraph.

Monospaced
Use .font-mono
to apply a web safe monospaced font family:
I'm a monospaced paragraph.

I'm a monospaced paragraph.

Responsive
To control the font family of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing font family utility class. For example, use md:font-serif
to apply the font-serif
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the Responsive Design documentation.
I'm a paragraph.
I'm a paragraph.
I'm a paragraph.
I'm a paragraph.
I'm a paragraph.
Customizing
Font Families
By default Tailwind provides three font family utilities: a cross-browser sans-serif stack, a cross-browser serif stack, and a cross-browser monospaced stack. You can change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.fontFamily
section of your Tailwind config.
Font families can be specified as an array or as a simple comma-delimited string:
{
// Array format:
'sans': ['Helvetica', 'Arial', 'sans-serif'],
// Comma-delimited format:
'sans': 'Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif',
}
Note that Tailwind does not automatically escape font names for you. If you're using a font that contains an invalid identifier, wrap it in quotes or escape the invalid characters.
{
// Won't work:
'sans': ['Exo 2', ...],
// Add quotes:
'sans': ['"Exo 2"', ...],
// ...or escape the space:
'sans': ['Exo\\ 2', ...],
}
Responsive and pseudo-class variants
By default, only responsive variants are generated for font family utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the font family utilities by modifying the fontFamily
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
Disabling
If you don't plan to use the font family utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the fontFamily
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:

Note that this inspection is not relevant for modern JVMs (e. g., HotSpot or OpenJ9) because their JIT compilers will perform this optimization. It might only be useful in some embedded systems where no JIT compilation is performed.
Example:
int y = x * 4;
A quick-fix is suggested to replace the multiplication or division operation with the shift operation:
int y = x << 2;
Use the option to make the inspection also report division by a power of two. Note that replacing a power of two division with a shift does not work for negative numbers.

Questions about Questions
Now we're getting Somewhere. Circularly.
02015-01-11
A question well formed is most of the work in itself. Once that's happened things tend to fall into place. If you're having trouble answering a question, it's more often than not because it's being asked poorly, rather than it is intrinsically hard or universally unsolved. So what makes a question about programming well formed?
I've usually had two kinds of questions, the first kind is I'm trying to do something and it's not working, empirical questions or syntax oriented, and the second something is working but I'm trying to understand better why it works and how it would work in different contexts, more theoretical.
In both cases trying to consolidate code as tidily possible helps put it into a text-dump page to share with people and pulls into frame and clarifies to yourself what it is you're trying to accomplish. To further simplify matters it is also good to put a small comment around the particular trouble spot. Because you should figure out how to narrow down your question to a relatively small part of the code you share. Trying to fix more than one thing at a time is super hard. Now, it's entirely possible that the problem you think you have is not actually what's wrong, but this kind of disconnect is easier to find when you've explicitly stated what you think is the problem or point of contention.
So once you've prepared your question, you can post it to stack overflow, or trundle into some seedy IRC channel and start the dialog. And it will help if it's a dialog, because if something is going wrong it's going to take adjusting your preconceptions about the problem to match what's going on. Maybe you present enough information in the first asking to make it work, and the answerer will be able to provide exactly what you need to fix it. But that is unlikely, so maintain the dialog until you're on a good track.


The quote currency is the currency you must give the seller to buy an asset. For currency trades, the quote currency is the currency ticker on the right side of the currency pair. For other types of assets, the quote currency is usually USD, but the quote currency for India Equities is INR. To get the quote currency of a Security
, use the QuoteCurrency
property.
var aaplQuoteCurrency = Securities["AAPL"].QuoteCurrency; // USD var btcusdtQuoteCurrency = Securities["BTCUSDT"].QuoteCurrency; // USDT
aapl_quote_currency = self.Securities["AAPL"].QuoteCurrency # USD btcusdt_quote_currency = self.Securities["BTCUSDT"].QuoteCurrency # USDT
The QuoteCurrency
is a Cash
object, which have the following properties:
You can use the ConversionRate
property to calculate the value of the minimum price movement in the account currency
var cfd = Securities["SG30SGD"]; var quoteCurrency = cfd.QuoteCurrency; // SGD var contractMutiplier = cfd.SymbolProperties.ContractMultiplier; var minimumPriceVariation = cfd.SymbolProperties.MinimumPriceVariation; // Value of a pip in account currency var pip = minimumPriceVariation * contractMutiplier * quoteCurrency.ConversionRate;
cfd = self.Securities["SG30SGD"] quote_currency = cfd.QuoteCurrency # SGD contract_mutiplier = cfd.SymbolProperties.ContractMultiplier minimum_price_variation = cfd.SymbolProperties.MinimumPriceVariation # Value of a pip in account currency pip = minimum_price_variation * contract_mutiplier * quote_currency.ConversionRate

Issue: DEFTYPE-KEY
References: CLtL p.50
Related issues: DEFSTRUCT-CONSTRUCTOR-KEY-MIXTURE
Category: CLARIFICATION/ADDITION
Edit history: 29-Apr-90, Version 1 by Moon
30-Apr-90, Version 2 by Moon (update current practice)
4-May-90, Version 3 by Moon (update from comment received)
9-May-90, Version 4 by Moon (revise according to comments
received. Specifically, remove references to
&ENVIRONMENT, take no stand on destructuring, and
correct the current practice.)
Problem description:
CLtL p.50 only mentions &OPTIONAL and &REST as allowed lambda-list
keywords in DEFTYPE. It doesn't say whether &KEY is allowed too.
This is Symbolics issue #18.
Proposal (DEFTYPE-KEY:ALLOW):
Allow &OPTIONAL, &REST, &KEY, &ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS, and &AUX in the
lambda-list of DEFTYPE.
Clarify that unsupplied keyword arguments default to *, not NIL, the same
as unsupplied optional arguments, if no initform is specified in the
lambda-list. &AUX parameters are initialized to NIL if no initform is
specified.
Examples:
(deftype xarray (&key dimensions (rank '* rank-p) element-type)
(check-type rank (or (member *) (integer 0 *)))
(check-type dimensions (or (member *) list))
`(array ,element-type
,(if rank-p rank dimensions)))
(check-type z (xarray :rank 2 :element-type double-float))
(define-presentation-type command (&key (command-table *command-table*))
....)
define-presentation-type is similar to deftype but defines some
additional information about use of the type in user interfaces.
Rationale:
Type specifiers with keyword arguments are used extensively in CLIM
and CLIM-based applications.
&AUX is allowed just for completeness.
Current practice:
Symbolics Genera 8.0 supports the proposal.
Lucid 3.0.1 signals an error (&KEY not allowed) for this example.
Franz Allegro CL 3.1.beta.22 supports the proposal.
Other implementations were not surveyed.
Cost to Implementors:
Should be small since this simply makes DEFTYPE support the same
lambda-list keywords as DEFUN and LAMBDA (which suggests an
implementation technique of inserting '* where an initform is not
specified for an &optional or &keyword argument and then making a
function that is applied to the cdr of the type specifier).
Cost to Users:
None.
Cost of non-adoption:
CLIM will not fit into Common Lisp as well. DEFTYPE will be less
consistent with the rest of the language.
Performance impact:
None.
Benefits:
Cost of non-adoption will not be incurred.
Esthetics:
DEFTYPE will be consistent with DEFUN, eliminating an arbitrary
restriction.
Discussion:
There has been some discussion about whether DEFTYPE supports
destructuring. It seems that CLtL pages 50 and 146 may contradict
each other on this point. This issue explicitly does not address
the question of destructuring.

Born in 1920 in London, Rosalind Elsie Franklin wanted to be a scientist ever since she was a teenager. Despite being discouraged by her father (it wasn't an easy career for women at the time), she won a scholarship to study chemistry at Cambridge University, where she graduated and received her chemistry Ph.D. in 1945. In 1947, after doing some research on coal structure, she went to the Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de l'État in Paris, where she became a specialist in X-Ray chrystallography. After being granted a fellowship at King's College in 1951, she moved to London determined to study the structure of DNA with her newly-acquired expertise.
There, she was set to share her workspace with Maurice Wilkins, who initially thought she had been hired to be his lab assistant; a bad beggining to a relationship that never got better. Nevertheless, she upgraded the X-ray lab and got to work on her new subject. Unbeknownst to her, american biologist James Watson and British physicist Francis Crick were working on the same subject as her, but found themselves unable to make any progress. In 1952, she finally obtained a picture that contained relevant information, which she called Photo 51, took 100 hours to produce and would take much more time to analyze. In the meantime, Wilkins, who was an acquaintance of Watson and Crick, showed her picture to them, without her knowledge or consent. The moment they saw it, they became ecstatic - they knew it was something big. In their lab, they sketched some quick models that would fit the photo's data, eventually arriving at the right one. They got their big result in 1953 and submitted it to Nature, the same year that Rosalind finished her analysis, got to the same conclusion and submitted it. Both articles were published in the same issue, but Rosalind's was put last, making it look like her experiments confirmed Watson and Crick's breakthrough, instead of inspiring it.
At this point, Franklin had already stopped working on DNA, going on to study the structure of viruses. In 1956, on a business trip to the US, she found a lump in her abdomen which turned out to be ovarian cancer. She died of it less than two years later, at just 37 years of age. In 1962, Watson, Crick and Wilikins were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on the structure of DNA. It's widely believed she would have been awarded too, if only she were alive at the time. In fact, some even think she could have won a second Nobel, as her work on the structure of viruses led to a colleague winning the prize in 1982.
The world certainly deserved more than 37 years of Rosalind Franklin.
Here's a timeline of her life:
- 1920: Born Rosalind Elsie Franklin in London, July 25th.
- 1931-38: Educated at St. Paul's Girls School, London.
- 1938: Entered Newnham College, Cambridge University.
- 1941: BA in Physical Chemistry, Cambridge University.
- 1941-42: Research on the kinetics of polymerization reaction at the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Cambridge.
- 1942-46: Research on colloidal properties of coals and cokes at the British Coal Utilisation Research Association (BCURA) Assistant Research Officer.
- 1945: Received PhD in Physical Chemistry from Cambridge.
- 1947-51: Directed a research group in x-ray diffraction studies of carbons at the Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de l'Etat in Paris.
- 1951-53: Assembled an x-ray diffraction laboratory at King's College, London, to research the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA); discovered that DNA can take two forms, "A" and "B"; produced diffraction photo of B form of DNA that led to Watson and Crick's theory of its double-helix structure.
- 1953: James Watson and Francis Crick announced their discovery of DNA structure in Nature on April 25, 1953. Franklin and Raymond Gosling published their x-ray findings in same issue; however, as their article was arranged to come after Watson and Crick's, it seemed as it had confirmed their result, not inspired it.
- 1953-58: At invitation of J. D. Bernal, directed research on x-ray diffraction studies of plant viruses, particularly the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at Birkbeck College, London. Determined the configuration of TMV and the location of its RNA.
- Summer 1954: First visit to United States; presentations at coal research conference, and visits to many virus research labs.
- Summer 1956: Second visit to United States for conference presentations and visits to colleagues in virus research labs.
- Fall 1956: Diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
- 1958: Died in London on April 16th.

In this mpi4py tutorial, we're going to cover the gather command with MPI. The idea of gather is basically the opposite of scatter. Gather will be initiated by the master node and it will gather up all of the elements from the worker nodes.
We'll use almost an identical script as before with a few small changes.  Here's how we'd do it:
from mpi4py import MPI comm = MPI.COMM_WORLD size = comm.Get_size() rank = comm.Get_rank() if rank == 0: data = [(x+1)**x for x in range(size)] print 'we will be scattering:',data else: data = None data = comm.scatter(data, root=0) data += 1 print 'rank',rank,'has data:',data newData = comm.gather(data,root=0) if rank == 0: print 'master:',newData
Here, all of the nodes are modifying the data variable. This data += 1 is our really intense operation that we want the nodes to perform in parallel! Next, we specify the gather command.
Gather works by specifying what we're gathering, and where the data will go (root), which we're saying is to processor 0.
This will show that the data was dispersed, the operation was performed, and the new data was correctly gathered back up.

IMAGINARY CRIMES A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 7.2
Date Released: varies (10/94) Running Length: 1:47 Rated: PG-13 (Mature themes, language)
Starring: Harvey Keitel, Fairuza Balk, Kelly Lynch, Vincent D'Onofrio, Elisabeth Moss, Diane Baker, Chris Penn, Seymour Cassel Director: Anthony Drazan Producer: James G. Robinson Screenplay: Kristine Johnson & Davia Nelson based on the novel by Sheila Ballantyne Cinematography: John J. Campbell Music: Stephen Endelman Released by Warner Brothers
In 1993's THIS BOY'S LIFE, the memoirs of author/professor Tobias Wolff were committed to film. Wolff's affecting story, a coming-of-age tale set in the Pacific Northwest, concentrates on the difficulties experienced by a boy growing up in a single-parent household. Also based on an autobiography (that of Sheila Ballantyne), director Anthony Drazan's IMAGINARY CRIMES explores similar terrain (both literally and figuratively--this movie takes place in Oregon). In this case, the central figures are Sonya (Fairuza Balk) and her widowed father Ray (Harvey Keitel).
IMAGINARY CRIMES opens in 1961 with Ray operating a series of sophisticated cons designed to keep his family fed and sheltered. His wife Valery (Kelly Lynch) is eight years dead from cancer, leaving him two daughters: high school senior Sonya and her younger sister Greta (Elisabeth Moss). Ray has never held a solid job, instead opting to run get-rich-quick scams. Although these have never paid off, Ray refuses to face reality, convinced instead that one day his ship will come in. Sonya, a veteran of broken hopes, has come to accept the bleakness of her life, much like Valery had done before her death.
The story is told in two phases: the "current" struggles of the Weiler family during late 1961 and early 1962, and a series of flashbacks framed as short stories written by Sonya. These chronicle certain events from the previous decade, both before and after Valery's death.
As an account of growing up in a family constantly on the verge of blowing apart, IMAGINARY CRIMES is often touching, and occasionally poignant. This is Sonya's story, not Ray's or Greta's, so ultimately the viewer's emotional response is determined by the effectiveness of Drazan's dramatization of the young woman's turmoil. For the most part, he is successful in toning down the melodramatic elements in favor of a more honest approach.
Oddly, some of the earlier sequences might have been enhanced by the use of a little *more* skillfully-applied melodrama. Until the flashback of Valery's death thirty minutes into the film, it's difficult to connect emotionally with any of the characters. That's a rather long time for an audience to be held aloof, regardless of the eventual payoff's impact.
The similarities with THIS BOY'S LIFE don't end with common themes. Harvey Keitel's performance echoes that of Robert De Niro in the earlier film. Keitel occasionally seems trapped by the restraint demanded by this role, which makes for a few awkward moments. In general, however, the actor acquits himself as the father about whom his eldest daughter says: "Never has a man less equipped for parenthood tried so hard."
With an unforced portrayal that makes use of her expressive eyes, Fairuza Balk (of GAS FOOD LODGING) is the real star of IMAGINARY CRIMES. The central question for Sonya throughout the movie is whether her father, a con man, really loves her and her sister--indeed, whether he's capable of love at all. Balk accurately and believably conveys the turmoil caused by this uncertainty.
Those finding the recent wave of coming-of-age stories to their taste will probably appreciate what this movie has to offer. IMAGINARY CRIMES is a difficult film to connect with, but once the connection is made, it rewards with an unexpectedly rich emotional texture.

Pan Fried Udon with Crispy Tofu
Is it any surprise that I am madly in love with Asian food? It doesn’t help that with this pregnancy I crave anything with the word “noodles” in it. I’m not complaining though, I love cooking noodles and I’m even more in love with how filling and nutritious most Asian foods are.
 I know, I know, I’m like your new best friend 😉
So here’s what you need:
1 package firm tofu
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
4 tbs sesame oil
4 tbs soy sauce
4 tbs brown sugar
2 tbs rice wine vinegar
2 tbs minced ginger
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cup mushrooms
2 cups broccoli
1 cup sliced carrots
cilantro leaves to garnish
Asian sprouts to garnish
And I promise, you will definitely enjoy this dish. There is something about eating udon noodles that makes it so much fun.
In other news, I am now the proud owner of a Breville Juice Fountain Plus Juicer! I am so ridiculously excited to start juicing, my mom got us hooked while we were in Korea and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since.
Tonight we decided to test our new baby out and….LOVE. That is all I have to say about our feelings. It was incredibly fast, efficient and super easy to clean. Needless to say, the husband and I were impressed.
In our juice: carrots, lemons, celery, collard greens, and apples.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
Now I can’t stop daydreaming about all of the yummy vegetables I can juice. I know it’s recommended to use a few root vegetables, a watery vegetable, a green, a fruit to add sweetness, and a garnish for extra flavor like lemon, ginger, or parsley and I have a few ideas up my sleeve but I’m always open to suggestions. I just want to have some more fun with my brand new toy 😉
Anyone have favorite juicing recipes to share? And have a great Thursday! I’m off to bed early tonight because I have another pregnancy migraine…WOMP WOMP. Super fun times!

Gaetz: Bribery Charge Against Trump Won't Stick -- 'It Fails to Meet an Essential Element' | Breitbart
by Jeff PoorMonday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) dismissed a claim of bribery put forth against President Donald Trump in response to Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano.
Gaetz argued such a case would lack what he deemed an “essential element” to meet the standard of bribery.
“I would disagree that bribery would be applicable for this reason: For bribery to have been committed, you have to be asking someone to do something that they would not otherwise do with President Zelinsky, who ran an entire campaign on rooting out corruption,” Gaetz said. “He even said to the president he didn’t believe enough had been done yet, and he needed to make changes with prosecutors to ensure justice was done in the Ukraine. And it seems only justifiable then to say, ‘Well, if you’re looking under the hood, let’s make sure there weren’t Americans, or American administrations were Joe Biden linked to any of that corruption. So, I don’t think the bribery charge will stick because it fails to meet an essential element.”

Pope Francis to visit Cyprus in 2020
NICOSIA: Pope Francis will visit Cyprus next year and his arrival will coincide with the republic celebrating 60 years since independence, Cypriot president Nicos Anastasiades said on Monday (Nov 18).
Anastasiades made the announcement after meeting the pope on Monday during an official visit to the Vatican.
"I had the opportunity to invite the Pope to visit Cyprus, something that he accepted with great satisfaction," said Anastasiades in a statement. He did not give an exact date for the visit.
He added: "The visit will be arranged for next year, which coincidentally marks the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus and 10 years since the last visit by Pope Benedict."
Pope Benedict XVI was the first pontiff to visit the east Mediterranean island which is of predominantly Christian Greek Orthodox faith.
Cyprus was the first stop on Saint Paul's travels to spread Christianity in the 1st Century A.D. and he converted the island's then Roman governor Sergius Paulus to the faith.
The island gained independence from British colonial rule in 1960.


Constructor injection can be performed with any number of arguments using any of the XML annotations. In this example the Element annotation is used to identify two values to be injected in to a specific constructor.
@Root public class Point { @Element private final int x; @Element private final int y; public Point(@Element(name="x") int x, @Element(name="y") int y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } }The below snippet shows an example of the resulting XML, both the x and y values will be injected in to the annotated constructor.
<point> <x>10</x> <y>4</y> </point>This example can be downloaded from here.

An implementation of the adaptive forgetting factor scheme described in Bodenham and Adams (2016) <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9684-8> which adaptively estimates the mean and variance of a stream in order to detect multiple changepoints in streaming data. The implementation is in C++ and uses Rcpp. Additionally, implementations of the fixed forgetting factor scheme from the same paper, as well as the classic CUSUM and EWMA methods, are included.
