"*sigh* A hot bath is just the thing I need to clear my head.
(takes bath)
Ahh... (Beat) Wait...I don't own a bathtub!"
(takes bath)
Ahh... (Beat) Wait...I don't own a bathtub!"
— Shantae, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
This trope happens when a character is shown bathing in a bathtub that is in an environment where a bathtub shouldn't be — usually in a non-private place. This can range from a bathtub just being in a living room or kitchen to one being placed on the top of a cliff. Most of the people who bathe in awkwardly placed bathtubs are pretty comfortable about bathing naked in front of other people; in fact most of the time that is the situation.
Examples
open/close all folders
Advertising
- Those Cialis commercials that have people sitting outside in bathtubs. Partially justified in that some resorts actually do have outdoor bathtubs to take advantage of pleasant views. Nevertheless, these are usually more like jacuzzis than your traditional tub-with-little-wrought-iron-feet thing. Presumably the commercials can't show a couple sitting naked in a jacuzzi together, given the context of what they're advertising...
- The webcomic Kevin & Kell parodied this commercial by having Rudy coming across a saltwater lobster and a freshwater fish in separate tubs. The fish even said, "No, this isn't a commercial."
Anime & Manga
- In Amagi Brilliant Park, Bathing Beauty Isuzu Sento's apartment doesn't have a bathroom so she had put a clawfoot bathtub in her kitchen that is filled by a hose connected to the sink so she can easily keep up with her 3 baths a day that keep her alive.
- In Banana no Nana, Mizukami Haruko goes around in a bathtub with wheels, pushed by servants. Justified in that she must spend twenty hours a day soaking in water to keep her powers.
- The Second episode of Basquash! has Sela D. Miranda bathing in a bathtub on the roof of a building while talking on a phone.
- In Bubblegum Crisis Priscilla Asagiri lives in a semi-truck trailer that has a clawfoot bathtub in it which is weirdly placed right next to a TV and right underneath a speaker which looks to be an Electrical Hazard.
- In A Certain Magical Index, Laura Stuart has a room with a ridiculous number of bathtubs in it. Anyone can enter the room to talk to her while she is bathing.
- In the second season of Digimon, the female member of the Quirky Miniboss Squad Duo takes a bath in one of these, of the "On A Cliff" variety. Though as this is a kid's show, she's just soaking fully clothed. But she's a Digimon disguised as a woman, so that oddly makes some sense. The bathing clothed part.
- High School Dx D features one in the Occult Research Club's clubroom. At least it has a shower curtain.
- In the third episode of Idol Project Corvette Hiyards is taking a bubble bath in a tub that is floating over a lake.
- Lisa Lisa of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency has a bathtub on her balcony and even has a Bathtub Scene with it.
- Inaho Hitomebore takes a milk bath in a tub that's on the top of a moving boat in the 11th episode of Master Of Mosquiton '99.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion has Asuka find one in what appears to be a wrecked building. The tub is actually outside when we find her.
- One Piece:
- In the second movie, the Honey Queen is bathing in a bathtub that is on the top of her pirate ship that she looks down from.
- Kalifa's room also has a bathtub as the center piece. She has the powers to make bubbles, so this would make sense had she not just gotten those bubble powers earlier in the same day.
- In the 43rd chapter of the manga O-Parts Hunter, Cross criticizes Ponzu because she is bathing in a bathtub that is in the command room.
- Ubel Blatt: Lady Elsaria has one on the bridge of her flying ship.
- Colonel Felme of Zoids: Genesis (pictured above) has been in this situation where she is taking a bubble bath in a bathtub that is on a table in the middle of a throne room while talking to someone.
Comic Books
- Chief Vitalstatix of Asterix often happens to take a bath when an important visitor (up to and including Julius Caesar himself) shows up. He always meets them either inside or even in front of his hut while still bathing. In the latter case, his carriers carry the tub with the Chief inside out through the door like they would usually carry him standing on his shield. At most, it's slightly inconvenient for him.
- A Roman centurion wanting to impress the Gauls by "following their customs" subsequently receives envoys from the village in a bathtub (but still wearing his helmet, as Vitalstatix was doing).
Films — Live-Action
- Diva: Philosopher-crook Gorodish relaxes with a cigar in the tub, out in the middle of his dark, cavernous loft, as girlfriend Alba rollerskates through the place.
- El Dorado: J.P. Harrah is taking a much-needed bath. However, he can't leave the jailhouse for various reasons, and ends up having to bathe in the middle of his office. To make things worse, most of the cast finds some reason to walk in and out of the office through the course of the scene, each one offering him another bar of soap.
- A Hard Day's Night: More like awkwardly placed ''people'', really. The bathtub is actually in the bathroom, but for some reason George and Shaker have decided to hang out there, too.
- Places in the Heart: It's a home in rural Texas in 1935, so it doesn't have a lot of amenities, which is why Edna has to take a bath in an aluminum bathtub in the middle of the kitchen. Leads to a comic moment when Mr. Will, who is blind, comes barging into the kitchen to complain about the kids scratching his records. He doesn't realize that he has intruded on Edna's private moment until, while waving his arms in anger, he accidentally dunks his hand into her bathtub.
- In an interesting variant, in Stardust, when Primus is murdered in the bathtub, it's in Lamia's inn. However, due to Lamia being a sorceress, after Tristan and Yvaine escape from her by Babylon candle, she uses her magic to get rid of the inn, but for some reason, leaves the bathtub with the dead body in it behind for Septimus to find the next day.
- Swashbuckler: The bathtub is quite sensibly placed in the bathroom, but for some reason Lord Durant insists on conducting official business from it; to the obvious discomfort of those dealing with him.
Literature
- The god of knowledge in the Bas-Lag Verse is worshiped equally by humans and the aquatic vodyanoi, so is traditionally depicted as a fat man or skinny vodyanoi lying in a bathtub regardless of circumstances.note
- In the Boojumverse story Boojum, the Space Pirate Captain Song has a bathtub on the bridge of her ship the Lavinia Whateley. Given that the rest of her crew is having a drunken orgy to celebrate their latest prize, she doesn't stand out.
- The Diary of a Young Girl. The Secret Annex that the Frank family are hiding in doesn't include a bath, so the occupants have to bathe in a tin tub. But since everyone has different ideas of acceptable privacy, they all use different rooms in the house.
- In Dragon Bones, Ward finds a bathtub waiting for him in his room when he returns there. He is delighted, thanks his servant for it, and carries on a conversation with him while in the bathtub. Justified in that it's a medieval fantasy setting; they wouldn't have a bathroom.
- An inversion in the children's book King Bidgood's in the Bathtub and He Won't Get Out!, in which the bathtub is in a perfectly reasonable place, but the activities taking place in the bathtub (such as a military exercise, a fox hunt, a banquet, and a masquerade ball) are entirely unreasonable. (The rest of the court is trying to come up with good reasons why King Bidgood needs to stop bathing, and he always responds by dragging the protestor into the tub with him.)
- Discworld does it in Night Watch by accident. Ridcully was bathing in a tub up in his room when a freak magical storm blows it out of the window into the courtyard, where he continues to bathe for a bit while half of the city watch are running about the campus. After which he demands someone bring him his hat.
- In "No Bath for the Browns", by Margot Bennet, a short story in Alfred Hitchcock's horror anthology Stories to Stay Awake By, involves a young couple buying a house and discovering that there's a bathtub set into the floor at the foot of the stairs. After much joking about how the prior owner, a widower, must have liked to high dive, the husband sets to removing it. Removing the tile beneath it reveals that the widower's wife didn't actually leave him... or the house.
- The captain of the Golgafrincham B Ark in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe has his bathtub in the middle of the bridge, and hasn't left it in several years.
Live-Action TV
- Colt Seavers of The Fall Guy has a bathtub in front of his house. Then again, his house is well outside Hollywood so he doesn't have any neighbors, it's warm enough in Southern California to take a bath outside, and he obviously can't afford a pool or a jacuzzi if he needs two jobs to pay for his truck, so a standard bathtub has to make do.
- Father Ted has a semi-aversion. The bath in the Craggy Island parochial house is, logically enough, in the bathroom - except that it's right next to the toilet, which proves inconvenient for Ted when the visiting Father Stone needs to take a dump while Ted is in the bath.
- Friends: While searching for a new apartment Ross views one set up like this. We don't actually see the kitchen/bathroom in question but Ross isn't impressed, and Chandler's attempt to convince him that he can cook while he's in the tub doesn't help. Joey on the other hand wonders if they could fit a bathtub in their own kitchen.
- In an episode of George & Mildred, the water in the bathroom is off due to plumbing work. Rather than lug water upstairs to take a bath, George decides to bathe in an old tin bath in the living room. Mildred brings the women from her keep-fit class home and George attempts to hide by ducking under the surface of the soapy water. Hilarity Ensues.
- As mentioned above in the Literature section, the Captain of the Golgafrincham B Ark in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy never leaves his bathtub, which is on the bridge of the space ship. In the TV series, he remains in his bath even after the crash, from which he chairs (rocks?) planning meetings.
- Happens to Lily Aldrin of How I Met Your Mother when she breaks up with Marshall and moves out of the apartment she shared with Marshall and Ted into a tiny, filthy apartment.
- An episode of My Name Is Earl featured a bona-fide Cloud Cuckoolander that Earl and Randy once crashed with, who (among other things) allowed a bougainvillea plant to creep into the house, and placed his bathtub in his living room, just because he could. "The news isn't so depressing when you're surrounded by bubbles!"
- In one episode of My Wife and Kids, Junior moves into a studio apartment where the bathtub doubles as a bed and couch.
- In the Andrew Davies adaptation of Northanger Abbey, one of Cathy Morland's fantasies involves her bathtub being out of doors in the middle of a fertile grove. With added Henry Tilney.
- In the Made-for-TV Movie Return to Green Acres Oliver has the Monroes build him a Jacuzzi; it's supposed to be in the back of the house but they build it in front, wondering why the Douglases want a bathtub on their front lawn.
- In the very first episode of Sesame Street, Ernie is taking a bath in a tub located right in the middle of the living room, during which he matter-of-factly chats with Bert. Granted, the layout of Ernie and Bert's place had not really been established yet. Later episodes had the tub relocated to an implied separate bathroom, including the classic Rubber Duckie sequence.
- Umeko the Pink Ranger of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger pulls this off in the last episode where she finds a way to distract the villain.  The villain is puzzled why and how she was able to pull it off.
- When Amanda in Ugly Betty moves in with Betty, one of the first things she does is move the bathtub in the middle of the kitchen. It doesn't stay there for long, though.
Tabletop Games
- One of the sourcebooks for the time-travelling role-playing game Continuum gives players tips about visiting a prosperous Eastern European settlement in 9900 B.C. — the bathing area is in the common room, so that guests can wash before they enter the bedchambers. It's perfectly OK for the bather to use a curtain for privacy, but they are still considered "in the room" and are expected to contribute to the conversation.
Theater
- The (very serious) play (and later movie and opera) Les Feluettes (Lilies) has one of these. For no apparent reason, the countess gives her son Vallier a bathtub, but sticks it out in the middle of the woods. Vallier's lover Simon appears and they have a night of passion (memorably portrayed)— again, for no apparent reason, right there in the great outdoors in Quebec in 1912.
Video Games
- In Mother 3, the party is healed mainly through Healing Springs. Especially in the second half of the game where the setting is more industrial, this inevitably leads to a few awkwardly-placed bathtubs.
- Done for humorous effect in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, where Shantae takes a relaxing bath immediately after the opening battle, using a bathtub located immediately opposite the front door of her home. It isn't until she's in the bath that she finally remembers she doesn't even own a bathtub, and the tub is in fact an elaborate mechanical trap laid by Risky Boots.
- In The Sims 3, Lucky Perkins of Riverview (an old-timey hobo-type character whose house is broken down and overgrown) has his bathtub in the front yard.
- A bathtub (which still evidently has the plumbing fully intact) is also found in the middle of The Great Pyramid in Al Simhara.
- Can apply to any game in the series, if the player so chooses. Can double as a Video Game Cruelty Potential depending on just where the awkward placement is.
- For no readily-apparent reason, there's a bathtub inside a workshop in Surface, a hidden object adventure game.
Webcomics
- A Cycle of Luv strip had a conversation between Maxx & Shawn where the latter (somehow) manages to drag the former's bathtub into their kitchen
Western Animation
- Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: The episode, "Zoobotnick" had Dr. Robotnik's tub in his palace room.
- Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog does this at the end of an episode where the bathtub is in the living room in front of the TV.
- The Venture Bros. episode "Bright Lights, Dean City" depicts Dean's apartment in Manhattan as having a bathtub right in the middle of the living quarters. Goes completely unmentioned through the entire episode, save for one instance where Dean tries to catch some sleep in it during his father's visit. Possibly a reference to the urban legend discussed below in Real Life.
Real Life
- The infamous kitchen-tub of NYC urban legend. A lot of New Yorkers claim that a friend of a friend once went to a party in a tiny apartment where the bathtub was in the kitchen. Fairly plausible — most Manhattan apartments are small and many are strangely laid out, though it seems unlikely that there are hundreds of apartments with kitchentubs and they're all rented by people who like to throw house parties.
- Though in the days before hot running water, the kitchen was the only place one could conveniently fill a tub with warm water. (See the British example at the end of this section.) A really old building might have been built with this arrangement in mind, and the room built to accomodate the toilet may not have room to contain a bathtub.
- There are still places where people's homes don't have bathtubs or shower stalls, in which people bathe in portable tubs filled via hose or bucket. Unless it's a warm day, this is done indoors in whatever room has sufficient space. Everyday life might carry on around the bather as per normal.
- Right up until the 1950's and 1960's in Great Britain, many homes in industrial areas did not have bathrooms as they are known today. "Public Baths" were not just a place to swim. For a few pennies they'd provide a bath or a shower with guaranteed clean towels at an extra price. Working-class Brits in dirty jobs would visit once or twice a week for a thorough scrub. Bathers were segregated by sex, but the bath-tubs would have none or minimal screening from each other. Public baths, as such, declined in numbers and importance as living standards improved and bathrooms were built, as standard, into family homes. Some employers in really dirty jobs, such as iron foundries and coal mines, provided free bathing (communal) as a perk of the job.
- People who have to live for some time far from civilization (soldiers on campaign, loggers, oil rig workers) in warm climates have to use whatever bathing facilities available, from a pond or river to field-made contraptions like shower heads attached to a hose.
- In Prague, there is a a 1/6 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. Under Communism, nobody wanted to go up there, and one of the maintenance employees hauled a bathtub onto one of the lookout floors and (allegedly) took baths at night looking down onto the city.
- Not quite the same thing, but Winston Churchill was notorious for taking meetings while in the tub and dictating to his secretary from the bathroom. He would also generally just hang out naked. While Churchill was visiting The White House in the winter of 1941-42, Roosevelt once wheeled into Churchill's room while the latter was taking a bath—at which point Churchill said, "Great men have nothing to hide from one another."
- A stereotype of British Northerners, presumably a Dead Horse Trope by now, has it that they bathe in a tin bath in the kitchen, while wearing a flat cap. This led to at least one cartoon of a Yorkshireman staying in a hotel for the first time, asking to be directed to the hotel kitchen so that he could have a wash.
- The first part of that stereotype was Truth in Television. In the days before indoor toilets or hot running water were a standard feature of working-class homes, the only way to heat up water for a bath was a kettle on the stove.

No more getting frustrated not being able to figure out if you would actually be able to work the job.
Jobs across retail, admin, and food service so that you can find all openings in one place.
Including options to work for Uber, Lyft, and other on demand services so you can compare what you would make versus a traditional job

We kicked off October with a trip to PEI for the family gathering, which you can read all about starting with the first post. It was a wonderful trip and allowed us to enjoy a few more days of warm temperatures, sunshine, and ocean breezes.
Upon our return, we got to work preparing the property for the winter. This included, but was probably not limited to: putting away the rain barrels, cleaning our big rain water tank, putting up fencing around our larches (keep away rabbits!), scooting our trees (actually this was completed by Chris in November while Hannah was hiking around Patagonia!), harvesting the last of the potatoes (final tally was 7.8 lbs, not enough to last the winter that’s for sure!), spreading straw to minimize how much mud the dogs bring into the house in the fall and spring, removing and storing window screens, inspecting the septic tank (it's still there!), and general tidying in the yard (which is done on repeat!).
At the end of the month we tried out our new .22, gifted to us by Ron. While this may eventually be used to convince our pigeons that the barn is not the peaceful refuge they believe it to be, we are currently starting slowly by instilling fear in our tin can population.

This is a minimal and opinionated guide for writing consistent and productive Node.Js and Express.js code. It is inspired by what has proven to be a consistent way of structuring code and has worked well in other mature languages and frameworks.
// Asynchronous errors, The WRONG way
fs.open("file.txt", function (err, contents) {
console.log( contents );
});
// Asynchronous errors, The Right way
fs.open("file.txt", function (err, contents) {
if (err) {
console.error("An error occurred!", err);
} else {
console.log(contents);
}
});
// Use Try-Catch for Synchronous Calls
try {
console.log("entering try block");
throw "thrown message"; // Synchronous Method Throws Error
console.log("this message is never seen");
}
catch (e) {
console.log("entering catch block");
console.log(e);
console.log("leaving catch block");
}
finally {
console.log("entering and leaving the finally block");
}
In most of the Node core APIs, try/catch cannot be used to properly handle exceptions for all others utilize try-catch. At project level handling errors needs to be a mandate.
// Wrong
// nodeService.js
(function(){
var getHttpData = function(){
console.log('My Data');
};
module.exports = getHttpData;
})();
// Better
// nodeService.js
var getHttpData = function(){
console.log('My Data');
};
module.exports = getHttpData;
From NodeJS Documentation:
"Variables local to the module will be private, as though the module was wrapped in a function"
In Javascript Indentation is for aesthetics and makes your code more readable and hence should be implemented as such. It should not Impact space utlization or productivity
// Use of single quotes for variables
var requestType = 'POST';
// Acceptable use of double quotes in a js config file
var SAMPLE_DIALOGUE_EN = [
"learning the language as it's awesome!",
'and he proclaimed, "so it shall be!" ',
];
For a consistent codebase a mix of a double quotes and single quotes should be avoided
// Error prone and not readable
if (true)
{
console.log('winning');
}
// Returns undefined
return
{
key: 'value'
}
// The right way
if (true) {
console.log('winning');
}
// Returns { key: 'value' }
return {
key: 'value'
}
The not-a-good-way consumes more space and can fail in certain scenerios
// Not too elegant
var foo = (a === b)
? 1
: 2;
// Too complex
var foo = ( a === b ) ? bar : ( foo !==1 ? bar1 : a );
// Simple and readable
var foo = ( a === b ) ? 1 : 2;
// Simplify ternary when they are too complex
var foo = ( a === b ) ?
bar : (
(foo !==1) ? bar1 : a
);
// Or split into if-else-ternary (Remember: Can impact performance in loops though)
if( a === b ){
foo = bar;
}else{
foo = ( foo !== 1 ) ? bar1 : a;
}
Single-line ternary operators are fine as long as they are not too complex in that case divide them into if-else blocks
//Wastes Space, too much typing;
var PI = 3.14159265;
var PHI = 1.618;
var HTTP_PORT = 80;
var SSH_PORT = 22;
//Better Way, Readable and concise (Group Logical Constants Together)
var PI = 3.14159265,
PHI = 1.618;
var HTTP_PORT = 80,
SSH_PORT = 22;
var SERVER_A, SERVER_B;
Grouping Declarations when possible makes it easier to categorize Constants under categories, don't group when the constants are not logically connected
// Not so elegant
req.on('end', function() {
console.log('losing');
});
// Not so elegant either
setTimeout(function() {
client.connect(function() {
console.log('losing');
});
}, 1000);
// Name the Closures/Functions
var onConnectionEnd = function() {
console.log('winning');
}
req.on('end', onConnectionEnd);
//Similarly
var afterConnect = function() {
console.log('winning');
}
setTimeout(function() {
client.connect( afterConnect );
}, 1000);
Name your closures so they can be re-used and are easy to maintain

// The Wrong Way for Variables/Properties/Functions
//PHP/CodeIgniter Naming Convention (Don't Use in Node)
var admin_user = req.session.body(..);
// Pascal Case naming convention (Don't use for variables, properties or functions)
var AdminUser = req.session.body(..);
//JQuery Naming convention (Don't use in Node)
var $adminUser = req.session.body(..);
// The Right Way for Variables/Properties/Functions A.K.A. lowerCamelCase in Node and Javascript
var adminUser = req.session.body(..);
var myFunction = function(){};
var myObj = {};
myObj.myProperty = 123;
//Classes
var MyClass = App.factory('myFactory', function(){...});
//Constants
var PI = 3.1415;
// Or define constants in object (Remember: Object lookup is slower than variables though)
var MATH_CONSTANTS = {
PHI : 1.618
};
Javascript uses Camelcase naming convention and is an industry standard so following that makes more sense as usually the camelcase is something most JS developers don't debate on and mostly stick to it.

UMKC says removal of controversial artwork was planned
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The University of Missouri-Kansas City says the removal of a controversial work of art from the school’s fine arts building display was long planned and not a response to complaints.
The Kansas City Star reports the work is a statement on the current unrest in Hong Kong and features a depiction of an altered, torn Chinese flag, with yellow stars arranged to form a swastika. On the image is written “#CHINAZI.” The other half of the image depicts a yellow raincoat and gas mask with the words “FREE HONG KONG.”
Chinese students complained Thursday to the art department and asked that the piece be removed.

Zerkon2107-Jun-19 08:09 AM
In the claim form :"How and when did you last accesst Agama and on which Version/OS did this take place?" what does one mean by that?
SHossain07-Jun-19 08:09 AM
@dxer666 if you have already submitted your claim, for your addresses(es), you should be OK. any further claim on those addresses will be denied. but, how come you sent those info to an impersonator when you had chat history with me?
Please never send any seed, or personal info to anyone.
I banned the impersonating account
Zerkon2107-Jun-19 08:10 AM
I mean by how and when
SHossain07-Jun-19 08:12 AM
it means how did you use Agama last and when
Zerkon2107-Jun-19 08:13 AM
what if i don't remember the last time exactly
i mean i logged in once to claim KMD reward, but after that i might logged on just to check in on my balance
anyway I filled out the form i hope correctly
Tantale07-Jun-19 08:16 AM
@smk762 - dracocanis ominator yes proxy was already disabled in settings. Weired as I have sent ZEXO, but I am unable to moove OUR.
pooler07-Jun-19 08:16 AM
How can an impersonator can have the same name AND id ???
discord exploit or what?
SHossain07-Jun-19 08:17 AM

pooler07-Jun-19 08:17 AM
ah right, saw it now
SHossain07-Jun-19 08:17 AM
SHossein#0007 is not same as SHossain#0007
a and e is different
pooler07-Jun-19 08:17 AM
is unicode allowed in discord names?
(I think it's best to click on the user in TEAM section and write a test message)
Zerkon2107-Jun-19 08:22 AM
by the way, the team will contact us here on discord or on the given e-mail address before the reclaim to verify, right?
not sure how the whole procedure will happen

Question regarding my Agama wallet. Keep getting errormsg : 'blockchain.address.get_balance'. Followed the guide from a few days ago; proxy is off
TimTim07-Jun-19 10:02 AM
Hi. Can I please confirm that if I havn't typed my seed into ANY wallet for over a year I have nothing to worry about?? Many Thanks, Tim
This suggests I'm fine >> "While the backdoor was added to the electron-native-notify library on March 8, it only made it in the main Agama wallet on April 13, when Komodo released Agama v0.3.5."
Cryptoon07-Jun-19 10:10 AM
Correct
TimTim07-Jun-19 10:12 AM
Few, thanks chief!
TimTim07-Jun-19 10:20 AM
If anyone could provide some hints on getting the new OceanQT wallet to sync it would be appreciated. Don't need spoon feeding (honest). It's just stuck syncing headers with 16 network connections. Left overnight......... nothing. Restarted 3/4 times...no joy.
Hi, there, i filled out the first version of the reclaim form, without the last question (when last access, which os), should i fill it out once again or am i good?
Buddz199307-Jun-19 11:01 AM
One question how to acess or edit my process claim form?
Anyone knows?
SHossain07-Jun-19 11:03 AM
what do you need to edit?
@sopho if you filled up the first version, that's ok. don't resubmit same claim
sopho07-Jun-19 11:04 AM
thanks^^
Buddz199307-Jun-19 11:04 AM
I just need to check the address which I put to send the funds
nothing more
general_grievous07-Jun-19 11:05 AM
i created a new seed and transfered all my funds.. i did this using the new version of agama that was mentioned in the official announcement.. is there still any risk?
still pretty confused about whats going on

sopho07-Jun-19 11:14 AM
@Keppie thanks, nice hint, i will look at that dark hole called browser history
SHossain07-Jun-19 11:26 AM

techblack07-Jun-19 11:33 AM

Louis07-Jun-19 11:52 AM
With the new Agama v0.5.6a-Beta using KMD lite version, it cannot connect to kmd server - I’ve tried selecting the second server from the list but same issue?(edited)
bartwr07-Jun-19 11:56 AM
Is the electron-native-notify repo with malware code still available to see (i.e. on GitHub)? I'm curious how the white hat hackers of Komodo secured some of the funds by sending it to a safe address
@Yoewhen you say import old agama seed, what do you mean. I dont see anyway to "import"
Oszy07-Jun-19 12:45 PM
@alcar in which wallet do you not see import?
bpkdasbaum07-Jun-19 12:46 PM
is there more info out by now? I am still wondering how not all addreses were affected. My funds were not sweeped, but I did use agama several times within the last 4 months. Sending receiving and also claiming funds. Somehow I was not affected though?
gcharang07-Jun-19 12:48 PM
@alcar import means just use the old compromised seed to login
PHBA206107-Jun-19 12:57 PM
@bpkdasbaum you aren't targeted by the hacker yet, there's still a possibility that you will be, so it's better so create a new address and send your funds there(edited)
bpkdasbaum07-Jun-19 01:12 PM
i already moved it yesterday to my ledger
cheers though. Just wondering why my address wasn't sweeped
sucks though, because there is no save option to claim :L


Brute force is a wonderful thing. 400 years is only 4800 months, so it is perfectly practical to just walk along every month of every year, calculating the day of week on which the 13th occurs for each, and incrementing a total counter.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <assert.h> int isleap(int y) { return y%4==0 && (y%100 != 0 || y%400 == 0); } int mtab[] = { 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 }; /* return length of month m in year y */ int mlen(int y, int m) { if(m == 1) /* february */ return mtab[m]+isleap(y); else return mtab[m]; } void main(void) { FILE *fin, *fout; int i, m, dow, n, y; int ndow[7]; fin = fopen("friday.in", "r"); fout = fopen("friday.out", "w"); assert(fin != NULL && fout != NULL); fscanf(fin, "%d", &n); for(i=0; i<7; i++) ndow[i] = 0; dow = 0; /* day of week: January 13, 1900 was a Saturday = 0 */ for(y=1900; y<1900+n; y++) { for(m=0; m<12; m++) { ndow[dow]++; dow = (dow+mlen(y, m)) % 7; } } for(i=0; i<7; i++) { if(i) fprintf(fout, " "); fprintf(fout, "%d", ndow[i]); } fprintf(fout, "\n"); exit(0); }


About
When presented with a problem, the most naive thing to do is to try and solve the problem without researching solutions which already exist.
With tools like Google Search and StackOverflow at your fingertips, investing a few hours of time searching for solutions is much smarter, easier and effective than stubbornly trying to solve something which already has a solution.
This blog is a resource intended to promote the use, and improvement of great tools built by great programmers. If you land here from a Google Search, and copy and paste a code snippet into your project, then I have fulfilled my goal..
This is what the Information Age is all about - easily finding the shoulders of others to stand on. Whether they are giants, or individuals who stand just a hair taller than you in their domains, if you stand on their shoulders you see beyond obstacles, and reach your solution faster.
If you can’t utilize an already-existing tool, and you can’t contribute to a pre-existing project to solve your problem, only then should you create a new piece of software to solve your problem (which will likely solve someone elses problems!).

The phrases for each section are contained in the subdirectory system\examples\phrases in the J system. They can be loaded as illustrated below:
load 'system\examples\phrases\phrd1.ijs' bft 1 : 'i. by i. over<EMAIL_ADDRESS>* bft 4 +---------+ | |0 1 2 3| +-+-------| |0|0 0 0 0| |1|0 1 2 3| |2|0 2 4 6| |3|0 3 6 9| +---------+
For most use this load into the base locale is satisfactory. However, in any joint use of phrases from different sections it must be remembered that the names m0, m1, etc., are unique only within each section. Distinct names can be assigned by loading the files into distinct locales, perhaps using the letter that denotes the section followed by the number that denotes the chapter. For example:
'a2' load 'system\examples\phrases\phra2.ijs' The file for Section A of Chapter 2 m67_a2_ 1&o. m67_a2_ 0 1 0 0.841471 m67 |value error sin_a2_ 0 1 0 0.841471
Any names may be used for locales, but the use of majuscules will avoid conflict with those (such as j) used by the utilities. Simpler names may also be assigned at will, as in
q=: m67_a2_
For a screen display of any group of phrases (complete with comments), use the file read. Thus:

--- title: Design Nature Project Page layout: project-page project-name: DragonCat ---
This was the final project for a first semester course at Olin College of Engineering called Design Nature. During this class, students get familiar with the idea of bio-inspiration for design and create rapid prototypes for a given prompt.
Our goal was to come up with a play experience based on dragons and cats. Very quickly, we determined that we wanted to involve wearable wings for the fourth graders that could extend and retract. After several prototypes and a lot of discussion about materials, we settled on three-ply cardboard as a light-weight base, covered with fabric to catch the wind.
Our game became one where children wearing the wings would help steer a ping-pong ball down a track, mimicking a cat in a boat. The children would use the wind from their wings to navigate down the proper route. Everyone loved the wings we produced, though we were informed that "Dragons don't exist" as a cutting critique.


5,000 substandard gas cylinders worth N51.3m destroyed by SON
by David O RoyalThe Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) on Friday destroyed over 5,000 substandard Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders worth N51.3 million.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the cylinders which were imported by different businessmen were destroyed at the SON warehouse in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.
The destroyed cylinders, commonly referred to as cooking gas, were in sizes of 50kg, 12.5kg, 6kg and 3kg and had branded names such as Anadolugaz, Royaltek, Setro, Repsol and Safic.
The Director-General of SON, Mr Osita Aboloma, said the cylinders were seized by SON during the first quarter of 2019.
READ ALSO: Two died, 23 injured in Lagos gas explosion – LASEMA
Aboloma, represented by Mr Obiora Manafa, Director, Inspectorate and Compliance, said that some of the brand new cylinders failed the agency’s mandatory test while others were not manufactured according to the expected specifications.
He said that some were fairly used cylinders imported from outside Nigeria without authorisation from SON, which made them contraband goods.
“We are here today to destroy all these cylinders because we cannot allow them to get into the market.
“They are threats to safety, they are threats to human lives and property of Nigerians.
“So, because we cannot burn them, we are cutting them and will thereafter send them to steel plants where they will be recycled for manufacturing of other products,” Aboloma said.
He advised importers to always do the right thing by following the procedures set up by SON for LPG cylinder importation into the country.
The director-general also urged Nigerians to purchase only cylinders with SON registration marks in order to safeguard their homes from fire incidents caused by substandard cylinders.

17 of the 22 companies evaluated for the 2018 Index improved scores in at least one area, and many made multiple improvements in the past year. Yet companies still fall short:
Privacy: Companies fail to disclose enough about what user information is collected and shared, with whom, and under what circumstances.
Security: Companies provide insufficient evidence of measures to protect users’ information.
Expression: Companies keep the public in the dark about how content and information flows are policed and shaped through their platforms and services.
Governance: Too few companies make users’ expression and privacy rights a central priority for corporate oversight, governance, and risk assessment.
The 2018 Index ranks 22 companies on 35 indicators across three categories evaluating how transparent companies are about commitments and policies affecting freedom of expression and privacy. The Index evaluates policies of the parent company, operating company and those of selected services (depending on company structure).

As a part of this coursework project, I designed a native Android application, that will find the top restaurant in a city of user's choice based on their sorting criteria and sorting order. For building this application I extended the Zomato API and accessed it through REST calls using a webservice deployed on Heroku.
The Android application would make REST calls to the webservice passing the values selected by the user as query parameters along with device model and android version. Once the data was recieved by the webservice, it would store the parsed Json data in Mongo DB and pass the response to the Android application as an XML. The Android application would parse the XML to display the final results to the user.
In addition to the android application, I also created a basic data analytics page which can be used to view most searched cities, most preferred sort parameters and would also maintain a log of all requests and response. The webpage is currently deployed into Heroku. You can view it here.

Why you, a scientist, should care about privacy policy
In 2011, Sean Westwood and I ran a (IRB-approved) study using Facebook’s graph API to analyze participants’ entire ego network on the fly, and then randomly assign strong v weak ties to ostensibly endorse media content appearing on their news feed (stimulus). We then re-rendered participants’ News Feeds. Those days are over.
The API was meant for developers to build on top of the data underlying Facebook’s platform, what it calls “the social graph,” but approvals were friendly to researchers. The scope of the data was startling and thankfully Sean had the foresight to delete data beyond what was necessary for analysis and publication.
Times have changed - OPM, MyLife, Equifax, Cambridge Analytica. Privacy issues are difficult to anticipate and secure, especially for complex and/or relational data. And Cambridge Analytica showed the world that APIs are open to nefarious schemes and basic research alike.
Data privacy is in the air in newsrooms and capitals across the world. As privacy advocates devise strategies and work to protect people from identity theft, scams, information & other abuse, often social scientists advocating for research aren’t at the table.
In the wake of these cross currents, privacy legislation and regulation present challenges for research communities. No company can shrug off a $5 bn fine for being too permissive w data—data collected via APIs in the name of social science research.
What’s more, the GDPR is vague on whether meaningful, socially beneficial independent social science research maps to the generally prohibited processing of “3rd party sensitive category data collected without consent.” https://iapp.org/news/a/how-gdpr-changes-the-rules-for-research/.
Some have intupretated the GDPR’s research exemption as carving out a protected legal space for this kind of work only if originally collected for research purposes. Yet the data everyone cares about was collected for business. What’s left? Case-by-case opt-in–severe confounds, overhead, paperwork, etc.
Another complication is that certain EU member states have additional requirements such as consent and/or anonymization at the level of differential privacy. See pp. 29-32 of this report https://accessnow.org/cms/assets/uploads/2019/06/One-Year-Under-GDPR.pdf.
Lawyers tend to be quite risk averse under this ambiguity and until firm guidelines are developed, it’s probably unrealistic to expect Silicon Valley to open up much data to researchers. That’s especially true after Facebook’s $5bn fine and the unrelenting stream of techlash criticism often related to privacy.


Extreme Gradient Boosting, which is an efficient implementation of the gradient boosting framework from Chen & Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939785>. This package is its R interface. The package includes efficient linear model solver and tree learning algorithms. The package can automatically do parallel computation on a single machine which could be more than 10 times faster than existing gradient boosting packages. It supports various objective functions, including regression, classification and ranking. The package is made to be extensible, so that users are also allowed to define their own objectives easily.

We had a new phase of work. This time a section of the existing site would be redone. This client's front-end team decided to use React as a templating engine to generate static HTML.
So the front-end team needed a Rest API
So our small API that was built for a handful of displays ended up being an API for a web application. We ended up modelling our JSON in JavaScript manually, and missing core features that DXA offers (like link resolving).

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that matches students up with open source, free software and technology-related organizations to write code and get paid to do it! The organizations provide mentors who act as guides through the entire process, from learning about the community to contributing code. The idea is to get students involved in and familiar with the open source community and help them to put their summer break to good use. For any information related to GSoC I would recommend to visit the manual page.
The results of GSoC’16 came out on 23rd of April and and I was happy to find out that I was selected. I would like to thank my mentors - László Csécsy(boobaa) and Czövek András(czigor), slurpee and cs_shadow for providing necessary suggestions while preparing my proposal. Getting accepted for the Google Summer of Code marked the beginning of the Community bonding period. The community bonding period is all about, well, community bonding. Rather than jumping straight into coding, you’ve got some time to learn about your organization’s processes - release and otherwise - developer interactions, codes of conduct, etc.
Project: Porting Comment Alter module to Drupal 8.
Community Bonding Period I had my semester exams, projects and assignments so I couldn’t give it a lot of time but I remained in contact with my mentors (boobaa and czigor). We were in constant touch via mail and also we had a hangout meeting last Friday over which we had the following discussion:
I went through some of the references as I mentioned in my proposal. These references covered Form API, Configuration API and Comment module in which I tried to cover the following things:
I’m thankful to László Csécsy for providing me with exercises for the past couple of months which helped me getting a better understanding of Drupal and the module. I have created some modules which covered the basics of Form API. We used Acquia Cloud as our hosting solution where our work can be seen (Link to the page). I also went through a few issues related to the module and provided patch for it. Since the coding period has started now, the next blog will be on my progress over the first week of coding.


I hope you're as excited to go on an epic adventure as I am. The only things you need to play are...
Keep reading for some character ideas, and to learn more about the adventure you'll be going on.


Software Engineer in the Denver Metropolitan Area
About
Who I am
Get to know me on a more personal level than what is on my resume.
I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Colorado State University in May of 2020. My entire life, I have enjoyed solving puzzles and learning how things work. I am passionate about software because it allows me to do that while making a significant positive impact on the lives of people around me. One day, I hope that I can utilize it to improve the lives of people in my community and the world. Right now, my focus is simply on learning as much as possible so that I will be ready for that opportunity when it comes.
In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports (especially basketball), listening to music, and spending time with my family. I am a fan of the Green Bay Packers (sorry Broncos fans), the Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Rockies. Some of my favorite musical artists are NF, Lorde, Kanye West, Billie Eilish, and the Beatles. I also recently finished watching every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in order.

FRESH (1994)
A film review by Steve Kong Edited by Steve Kong Copyright 1999 Steve Kong
Fresh is one of those films that overwhelms a person not with spectacular gunfights, special effects, or fanciful car chases, but with strong characters and a story that will draw you in. The brilliance of this film lies in the character portrayed by Sean Nelson.
Fresh (Sean Nelson) is a young drug runner for a local drug distributor, Esteban (Giancarlo Esposito). He lives in a poverty struck ghetto where nothing is right. Fresh is not your stereotypical street hood. He is an exceptionally intelligent young man who knows what's right and what's wrong. He only runs drugs for the Esteban to earn money he looks down upon the drug users, which include his sister. Fresh's father (Samuel L. Jackson) is a drunk who lives in an old mobile home and plays games of speed chess at a local park to earn money for his booze. Fresh doesn't live with his father though; he lives with the saintly Aunt Frances. He often visits the park to play chess with his father a sort of bonding experience for the two, and an excellent way to draw the analogy of chess and real life.
Although chess seems like just something that the father and son do together, in Fresh it is more than that. The strategies that Fresh learn from his father are used by Fresh in real life. When two of Fresh's friends are gunned down, Fresh plans revenge (and rescue of his sister) in a sort of way that will leave you breathless.
The star of this film is Sean Nelson who plays Fresh as a quiet withheld young man who, unlike his best friend Chuckie, keeps everything to himself. And although Fresh doesn't say much, we can see that there is something going on inside of his head. Nelson's performance is brilliant.
I've been a fan of Samuel L. Jackson for a while now. He is one of the best actors in Hollywood, no questions asked. And in Fresh he doesn't break from this. His portrayal as the hard-nosed father who teaches his son life's lessons via chess is one of his best. Though his screen time is limited, he has enough screen presence to be one of the most memorable characters in the film.
Fresh was written and directed by Boaz Yakin whose credits include The Rookie and The Punisher. Fresh is quite an impressive film from Yakin. His instinct about the characters is right on and his script is smart and doesn't take insult the viewer's intelligence.
When looking at the film description on paper, one would probably instantly say that the film look and score is going to be dark, gritty, and angry. Someone who thought that would be all wrong. The film's look is bright and clear. Instead of going with a docu-drama grainy look, cinematographer Adam Holender uses a higher-grade stock of film, which results in a picture that looks optimistic. The score by Stewart Copeland fits the movie perfectly and is not dark at all. Although not upbeat, the score is well done. There is no hardcore rap nor heavy beats, just Copeland's score, which is brilliant.
Don't Miss Fresh. You can find this film on video. This is a film that is a prime example of a great film driven by characters not by superficial things such a special effects or action. This film is so intricate that it cries out to be watched once or twice before truly understanding the complex relationships that are setup by the script.

“HTML for Absolute Beginners
While many guides on the internet attempt to teach HTML using a lot of mind-boggling theory, this tutorial will instead focus on giving you the practical skills to build your first site.
The aim is to show you ‘how’ to create your first web page without spending the entire tutorial focusing too much on the “why.”
By the end of this tutorial, you will have the know-how to create a basic website and we hope that this will inspire you to delve further into the world of HTML using our follow-on guides.
What is HTML?
Okay, so this is the only bit of mandatory theory. In order to begin to write HTML, it helps if you know what you are writing.
HTML is the language in which most websites are written. HTML is used to create pages and make them functional.
The code used to make them visually appealing is known as CSS and we shall focus on this in a later tutorial. For now, we will focus on teaching you how to build rather than design.
The History of HTML
HTML was first created by Tim Berners-Lee, Robert Cailliau, and others starting in 1989. It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
Hypertext means that the document contains links that allow the reader to jump to other places in the document or to another document altogether. The latest version is known as HTML5.
A Markup Language is a way that computers speak to each other to control how text is processed and presented. To do this HTML uses two things: tags and attributes.
What are Tags and Attributes?
Tags and attributes are the basis of HTML.
They work together but perform different functions – it is worth investing 2 minutes in differentiating the two.
What Are HTML Tags?
Tags are used to mark up the start of an HTML element and they are usually enclosed in angle brackets. An example of a tag is:
.
Most tags must be opened
and closed
in order to function.
What are HTML Attributes?
Attributes contain additional pieces of information. Attributes take the form of an opening tag and additional info is placed inside.
An example of an attribute is:
In this instance, the image source (src) and the alt text (alt) are attributes of the tag.
Golden Rules To Remember
The vast majority of tags must be opened () and closed () with the element information such as a title or text resting between the tags.
When using multiple tags, the tags must be closed in the order in which they were opened. For example:
This is really important!
HTML Editors
Now that we’ve gotten the basic theory out of the way. It’s time to learn how to build our first website.
First off, we must ensure that we have the right tools. Most important, we need an HTML editor.
There are many choices on the market.
Pros
Distraction-free interface
Auto-completion feature
Plugin options for extended functionalities. Cons
Can be difficult to get used to for beginners
No support for Mac.


PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
It's about time Hollywood made a picture about a flabby, mutton-chopped bumpkin whose legions of brain-dead fans call him `the King.' No, I'm not talking about Elvis, but rather Jimmy King, beloved World Championship Wrestling title-holder and owner of the longest winning streak in the history of the sport. He's also the `People's Champion' (how'd I miss that election?) and the hero of Ready To Rumble's two protagonists, who watch in horror as their idol is shafted out of his title as the film opens.
Gordie Boggs (David Arquette, Scream 3) and Sean Dawkins (Scott Caan, Black & White) star as septic truck workers in Lusk, Wyoming.  They each wear WWKD (What Would King Do?) bracelets and live for the high point of their week - television's WCW Monday Nitro Live.
The dunderheaded duo drive their crap-wagon to Cheyenne to watch King (Oliver Platt, Bicentennial Man) battle Diamond Dallas Page. Little do they (or King) know that behind the scenes, WCW boss Titus Sinclair (Joe Pantoliano, Black & White) has arranged for King to be mercilessly beaten and permanently kicked out of his league. After DDP thrashes King, the teary-eyed trailer-trash crash their turd-truck and, believing that the accident is somehow related to King's defeat, begin a quest to track down their portly hero to convince him to demand a rematch with DDP.
Gordie and Sean find King and get the rematch – a triple-steel-cage match in Vegas. They also find him a trainer in a former wrestler played by the oddly cast Martin Landau (EdTV). Things proceed as expected right through the end with the big wrestling finale - not so much of a revenge match between the current and former champs, but also a more subtle battle between King and Sinclair over who was responsible for popularizing the sport.
Rumble is lewd and crude from the get-go, with its opening scene featuring Gordie sticking a finger up his own pooper to con a Slurpee out of a convenience store employee played by the perpetually annoying Ahmet Zappa (webRiot).  Arquette does a good job of screaming and acting like a retard, but is it really acting?
I guess I can understand the appeal of what is essentially an hour-long, action-oriented sitcom, but in my mind wrestling's extravagant costumes, snug-fitting leotards and carefully applied make-up practically screams `Stand back, Laverne – I'm coming out of the closet!' I have a feeling that wrestling fans probably look down on the sissies that watch figure skating, even though they too feature the same dopey get-ups. I'm not sure which was scarier - the wide-eyed mouth-breathers around me that whispered `Sting' when the popular wrestler appeared on the screen, or the fact that Rumble was so bad that I couldn't even enjoy Zappa being violently thrown through a glass door at the end of the film.
In addition to portraying wrestling as `real,' Rumble also does a horrible job of casting Platt in the role of a wrestling champion. He looks like he struggles to get out of bed in the morning, so how are we supposed to believe he can beat these gargantuan steroid junkies? The film is a colossal waste of time but, if you insist on going, make sure you stick around for the outtakes during the closing credits.

Recursion¶
You can process the nodes of your tree of objects recursively without having to code a recursive function.
Using a Lambda Function¶
You can easily recurse the tree by using a lambda function.
IList<string> testOutput = new List<string>();
familyTree.ProcessTree(node => testOutput.Add(node.Id + " Processed"));
You can also recursively process ancestor nodes up the tree as easy as you can process children. Just use
one of the similar ProcessAncestors
methods.
The example below uses the sample hierarchy above where the me
Person
object is the third level down
(i.e. grandchild):
IList<string> testOutput = new List<string>();
// Starts with the `me` object and processes up to the
// root (grandpa object) because maxLevel == 1 by default
familyTree.ProcessAncestors( node => testOutput.Add(node.Id + " Processed"), me );
You can cause it to stop recursing up the ancestor line early by setting the maxLevel value
IList<string> testOutput = new List<string>();
// Starts with the `me` object and processes up to the
// 2nd level (dad object) because maxLevel == 2
familyTree.ProcessAncestors( node => testOutput.Add(node.Id + " Processed"), me, 2 );
If the logic to stop it from going up the ancestor tree early is more complicated, then you can provide a stopFunction with more robust logic to determine if it should stop climbing the tree.
IList<string> testOutput = new List<string>();
// Starts with the `me` object and processes up to the
// level that satisfies the stopFunction
familyTree.ProcessAncestors
(
node => testOutput.Add(node.Id + " Processed"),
me,
node => return node.Id == "Dad"
);
The stopping logic first processes the current node and then evaluates whether it should stop or not.
If true, it will return without climbing to the next level. Keep in mind that it does that only after
executing your ITreeNodeProcessor<TId, T>
or your nodeProcessor
lambda function against the
current node first.
So you can see that with one quick function in a method call you can test an entire tree for something whether you’re going down recursively to all children/branches or up the ancestor line of the tree.
Using a Class¶
First you would create the code that processes the nodes of the tree by implementing ITreeNodeProcessor<TId, T>
,
which requires the implementation of one method called void ProcessNode(T node)
.
For example:
class MyTreeNodeProcessor : ITreeNodeProcessor<string, Person>
{
public IList<string> TestOutput;
public MyTreeNodeProcessor()
{
TestOutput = new List<string>();
}
public void ProcessNode(Person node)
{
TestOutput.Add(node.Id + " Processed");
}
}
Then you just feed it to the top of the node you want to process. In the example below, we process every node in the tree because we start at the root node.
var myProcessor = new MyTreeNodeProcessor();
familyTree.ProcessTree(myProcessor);
However, if you want to process only a branch, then you can pass the tree node processor to the root of
that branch only. If you want to exclude the root node (or root of branch node) and process starting with
its children, then you can use the ProcessChildren(ITreeNodeProcessor<TId, T> nodeProcessor)
method instead.
var myProcessor = new MyTreeNodeProcessor();
familyTree.ProcessChildren(myProcessor);
As you can see, you can just write your business logic and forget about having to recurse. Your tree node
processor could act on the node or not depending on the logic. If your entity is a View Model, you can set
property values to drive user interface changes such as setting IsHighlighted = true
if the object
matches a search string.
Class vs. Lambda¶
Since the most common practice is to use a lambda function it begs the question, why go through the trouble of creating a class to do the same thing? Wouldn’t that be a lot of work when you can just shortcut it with a lambda function to do the same thing?
It depends.
The feature to be able to use a class was provided for cases when the logic necessary to process the nodes in the tree is very elaborate and may require injecting dependencies to get that logic to work. It may be a better design to encapsulate that in a class whose responsibility is to deal with that more complex logic.
Also, using a class gives you the option to use a Strategy Pattern by coding to the interface of the node processing class. When writing a lambda function, you cannot swap out that implementation neither through some configuration nor at runtime by selecting from a number of available implementing classes.
In general, if the logic is straight forward and short, which is probably the most common use case, then go with the lambda function. If the logic is elaborate, requires the use of dependencies sepecific to the logic that processes the nodes, and/or you want to be able to swap processors using a Strategy Pattern, then go with the class.
If you want to swap functions using functional programming techniques instead of the object-oriented practice of using a Strategy Pattern then go ahead, do your thing, and avoid classes altogether. Choice is yours.


This section details everything you need to get started using ConfigTreeView s. This includes an example of how to use the ConfigTreeView, how to create the config structure and also how to create a custom wrapper to extend its uses to fit your needs and finally how to use the DataFormatter to get your data displayed correctly in the ConfigTreeView.
To use a ConfigTreeView is simple. In your python script there are only a couple steps you need to follow:
- Initialize the ConfigTreeView with a config structure
- Apply the configuration to finish initializing the ConfigTreeView components
Example:
#Import the package from configtreeview import ConfigTreeView #Create the ConfigTreeView my_treeview = ConfigTreeView(config) #where `config` is a python dict config structure you already defined #Apply the configuration to the TreeView to finish initialization my_treeview._apply_config()
As you can see from the example, the API to use a ConfigTreeView is incredibly simple. This is possible because the bulk of the work is done in how you define and build the config structure.
The config structure itself is just a python dict instance that contains the information necessary to build all of the interface components for the ConfigTreeView. For more information on what a config structure should look like, refer to HOW TO: Config File
As an example let’s say we want a very simple treeview that contains two columns that each have a title in their header, and contain a single string as the data source for their respective GtkCellRenderers. The config structure for such a case could look like this:
{ "index_names": { 'column_1': {'markup': str}, 'column_2': {'markup': str} }, "column_order": ["column_1", "column_2"], "columns":{ "column_1":{ "header":{ "title": "Column1" }, "renderers": { "indices":{"markup": True} } }, "column_2":{ "header":{ "title": "Column2" }, "renderers": { "indices":{"markup": True} } } } }
Sometimes it is necessary to create your own implementation of a ConfigTreeView. This section describes the how? and the why?
There are many situations in your interface where you may need to subclass the ConfigTreeView so as to handle something extra that it doesn’t cover. One common situation that has come up in my own experiences has been with needing to know one of the indexes represented in the data model for some dynamic use throughout your application. For example: you would like to change the background color of a cell in the treeview based on a user clicking on it and to do this you need to know which index in a TreeModel row you’re keeping that property. Because of the way the data model is built for use in the ConfigTreeView with the actual indices hidden from the developer, this is not immediately an easy task.
But, fear not, the ConfigTreeView supplies an easy way to get around this. To achieve this, you need to do a few things:
- Pass the index that you want(in dotted-key notation) to the args`(or `kwargs) of the treeview dict within your config structure.
- Create a custom wrapper class that subclasses ConfigTreeView
- Make sure you override the _handle_args function of ConfigTreeView that will be used to assign the args you specified in the config structure to an attribute of your custom ConfigTreeView that you can use.
Example: building on from the above sample of a config structure...let’s add a variable to our config that will be used to change the background of a cellrenderer:
{ "treeview": { #Added a 'treeview' key to supply custom args to our treeview "args": ['$index.bg_color'],#Pass the 'bg_color' index to our custom treeview }, "index_names": { 'bg_color': str,#Define the 'bg_color' variable--we'll make it a variable if we plan on using the same index for multiple renderers 'column_1': {'markup': str}, 'column_2': {'markup': str} }, "column_order": ["column_1", "column_2"], "columns":{ "column_1":{ "header":{ "title": "Column1" }, "renderers": { "indices":{"markup": True} } }, "column_2":{ "header":{ "title": "Column2" }, "renderers": { "indices":{"markup": True} } } } }
And then a corresponding custom treeview implementation would look something like this:
class CustomConfigTV(ConfigTreeView): ''' An example of a custom ConfigTreeView wrapper used to get indices that were defined in the config structure ''' def __init__(self, *args): ConfigTreeView.__init__(self, *args) #Any post-initializing stuff here #This is the place to do stuff *BEFORE* the #columns, renderers, and properties are set self.background_idx = None def _handle_args(self, background_idx): ''' Override this function and set your custom args ''' self.background_idx = background_idx
And now your treeview has an attribute background_idx that will contain the index at which the ‘bg_color’ property you defined in the config will be formatted to.
Now that you’ve created a ConfigTreeView and initialized it with a config structure, you’re ready to start giving it data and using it! In order to get the data properly displayed you need to do a few things:
- Make sure you understand the ConfigTreeView data model and use it to give properly constructed data sets
- Create a DataFormatter object, initializing it with your ConfigTreeView ‘s index_map, and types structures.
- Create a GtkTreeModel to supply your TreeView with data
- Using the DataFormatter to yield formatted rows that can then be appended to your GtkTreeModel
Example(using the config that was defined above):
from configtreeview.tools import DataFormatter data = [ #The DataFormatter is expecting a list of dicts...each dict is a row following the ConfigTreeView Data Model {'column_1': {'markup': 'Some data here'}, 'column_2': {'markup': 'Column 2 data here'}}, {'column_1': {'markup': 'More data col1'}, 'column_2': {'markup': 'Column 2 data here'}}, {'column_1': {'markup': 'Even more data here'}, 'column_2': {'markup': 'Column 2 data here'}}, ] #Create the DataFormatter data_formatter = DataFormatter(my_treeview.index_map, mytreeview.types) #Get a treemodel liststore = my_treeview.get_treemodel() #Use this function to have your treeview build you a proper GtkTreeModel instance my_treeview.set_model(liststore) #Format the data rows for liststore and append them to it for row in data_formatter.get_rows(data): liststore.append(row)
And now the data should be displayed by your treeview!
