I know, I know. It doesn’t look like much. Yet
But on my own code learning journey this webpage represents a bit of technical milestone for me as I put the whole thing together with a command line and a keyboard, no windows, no menus, no mouse :-)
I installed Ubuntu LTS 16.04 then complied Node and Express from source, and that’s what I'm using to serve this page to you now
The page itself will be evolving quickly as I progress through Bloc’s Full Stack Web Dev curriculum, and will eventually turn into my personal blog and a portfolio of my completed projects and freelance work. But for the time being you may see some odd features that make no sense for a page like this, but that's just me playing with new tools and concepts while I hone my skills
I thought this article was helpful to me as a Windows user to help ease me back in to the Linux/CLI I learned many years ago: How to set up the perfect modern dev environment on Windows
This was also very helpful in helping me get my HTTP server running, though it is a bit out of date when it comes to using Upstart instead of systemd to run it as a service: The Node Den - Setting Up a Node.js Website

Backley Bank London W6 0NB Zenith House Road London NW9 6EE (26,000,000.00 USD twenty six million United States Dollars) ********************************************************** *********** I am Robert pollol i have a deal of inheritance.I want to transfer (26,000,000.00 USD) twenty six million United States Dollars from a Prime Bank here in London to an oversea account. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your safe account for unward investment. You can either provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in you and believing that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am the personal account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who has an account in one of the top banks here in london. The account was opened in 1993 and he died in 1993 without a written or oral WILL and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account again hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of the company.My investigation through the National immigration department proved to me as well that he was single as at the time of his entry into the Republic of South Africa. The amount in this account is USD$26 Million (Twenty Six Million United States Dollars ) only. As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give to you immediately, if you are interested to do this business with me.There is no risk in this business. With my position and my personal contact with the manager of the bank, the money can be transferred to any account you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. We will start the first transfer with Six million [$6,000.000] to testrun your account. Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of $26 Million to your account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here, but can only be pproved to any foreigner who has the correct nformation of the account which I will provide for you. So you should provide me with your correct account details where you will like the fund to be transferred or you can set up a new account for the transfer even an empty account is okay. At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any expenses both parties incurred in the process of this business and the remaining 60% will be for me. As soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance that you will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will then start the processing of the transfer of the fund to your account without further delay. Contact me urgently via email for further details. full name................. sate/country................. account number................... bank name:........................ bank address:.....................

Basic infrastructure and several algorithms for 1d-4d bin packing problem. This package provides a set of c-level classes and solvers for 1d-4d bin packing problem, and an r-level solver for 4d bin packing problem, which is a wrapper over the c-level 4d bin packing problem solver. The 4d bin packing problem solver aims to solve bin packing problem, a.k.a container loading problem, with an additional constraint on weight. Given a set of rectangular-shaped items, and a set of rectangular-shaped bins with weight limit, the solver looks for an orthogonal packing solution such that minimizes the number of bins and maximize volume utilization. Each rectangular-shaped item i = 1, .. , n is characterized by length l_i, depth d_i, height h_i, and weight w_i, and each rectangular-shaped bin j = 1, .. , m is specified similarly by length l_j, depth d_j, height h_j, and weight limit w_j. The item can be rotated into any orthogonal direction, and no further restrictions implied.

Basic Downsample Example
(Total count: 0)
This plugin for Flot charts
downsamples data before rendering the chart.
The purpose is to try retain the visual characteristics of the
original line using considerably fewer data points.
The algorithm (called Largest-Triangle-Three-Buckets) used in this plugin is described in a
Master's thesis (see hdl.handle.net/1946/15343) in Computer Science by Sveinn Steinarsson
at the University of Iceland.
The topic of the thesis is how to downsample time series for visual representation
and was initially suggested by DataMarket.
JavaScript optimization was done with the help of Borgar Þorsteinsson.

Mathematical Essentials of Data Science¶
If we use a transportation metaphor we might say that statistics and machine learning are the vehicles that take us to both new and familiar places. We could also think of programming and software engineering as the roads and infrastructure necessary to make travel even possible. Linear algebra on the other hand aligns well with the motors and engines that propel our vehicles.
Most of us seldom think about what is under the hood as we hum steadily along a nicely paved road, but success as a data scientist requires at least a fundamental understanding. Here we present the essentials of linear algebra with the goal that you become prepared for an educational experience in data science. You may even come to believe that viewing math through the lens of matrices and vectors makes things easier.
Important
The principal focus of this contents is to introduce numeric computing and linear algebra through Python. A portion of the second day will provide a basis for the calculus that you will need as a data scientist.


AMISTAD (1997)
A film review by Steve Kong Copyright 1997 Steve Kong
James Berardinelli pointed it out best, Spielberg's Schindler's List is to Jurassic Park what Amistad is to Lost World. I hope that this is a short cycle for Spielberg, because the first cycle was a lot stronger than this second one. Jurassic Park was a lot more fun than Lost World, and Schindler's List is a lot stronger than Amistad. If this is a cycle for Spielberg it looks as if the cycle is getting weaker.
This is not to say that Amistad is not a great movie, it's just not as great as Schindler's List. Amistad is a good movie that stands not on its plot and story but on the performances of its leads; Djimon Hounsou, Matthew McConaughey, Anthony Hopkins, and to a lesser extend Morgan Freeman.
Spielberg opens the film with a harrowing sequence on how slaves take over the ship that they are being shipped on, La Amistad. The sequence is very graphic and shows clearly the feelings of the slaves towards those who have taken them slave. After this the slaves try to sail the ship back to their home country with the help of the captain. They though end up in Connecticut where groups of different people, with different agendas, argue about the "ownership" of these slaves. This includes the Prime Minister from Spain representing the prepubescent Queen -- in which Spielberg handles with some good humour and irony. But the real fight is between the Attorney General of the United States and a small time properties lawyer Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey). The Attorney General is fighting on "behalf" of the United States and Spain. The current President at the time wants to avert a civil war from this situation and in doing so also make Spain happy. Baldwin wants to set the slaves free after he befriends one of them, Cinque (Djimon Hounsou) the leader of the group.
Anthony Hopkins, starring as former President John Quincy Adams, has a small introduction in the beginning and then is forgotten for almost half the film. I wish that it wasn't so, but I guess you can't change history. Hopkins is just wonderful as the former President, injecting into the character a large dose of humour.
Newcomer, Djimon Hounsou, gives a great performance as the leader of the slaves, Cinque. His strong stubborn performance is one that is inspiring. You latch on to his cause and that is what really carries the film.
McConaughey, whom we last saw in this summer's Contact, gives a good performance as the lawyer who wants to free the slaves, Baldwin. And Morgan Freeman is given a somewhat smaller part as Theodore Joadson an abolitionist who first brings up the case of the slaves to Baldwin. Freeman who is always a strong screen presence does well, though he is not given enough screen time. The star of the film is Hopkins though, his performance is the staple of the film.
Spielberg makes a good film with Amistad, but it doesn't top Schindler's List. I found that there was no real antagonist in Amistad, the only real antagonist is the idea of slavery. The mid-portion of this film where Cinque recounts how he had been brought into slavery is again like the opening sequence. This sequence is disturbingly frank and the audience is forced to sit through the sequence because as the audience knows, it's all too true.
Spielberg is able to bring an emotional closing to the film through Hopkins' speech. And again, I stress, Hopkins' performance in Amistad is the one that holds the film together. This performance is Oscar material, and I hope that he gets honoured for it. What I did like was that Spielberg was able to insert different pieces of humour throughout the film to let out some tension and to stir things up again. This was a good move from Spielberg for such a long film.
Worth mentioning is John Williams' score for the film, which like all his scores is brilliant.
Amistad is not a great film, but it is a good film that is worth watching on the big screen. It is a good return for Spielberg after his special effects driven and plot less dinosaur romp Lost World. It's also the first film directed by Spielberg out of the DreamWorks SKG production house and it is a good release at that. Don't miss Amistad on the big screen.

Starting with a 5 x 4 array but as a 20 element 1D array. Pick a subset 3 x 2 or other smaller array and extract the data, but also as a 1D Array.
I am trying to visualize the issue of cropping a RGB565 byte image, I will try to crop a 160 x 120 x 2bytes raw data array, into a 32 x 32 x2bytes raw data array
The crop coordinates can be in the top left but would be nice to crop from anywhere.
The following is an integer equivalent to get an understanding of the issues.


This callback class facilitates reporting scene query hits (intersections) to the user.
More...
#include <PxQueryReport.h>
template<typename HitType>
struct PxHitCallback< HitType >
This callback class facilitates reporting scene query hits (intersections) to the user.
User overrides the virtual processTouches function to receive hits in (possibly multiple) fixed size blocks.
- Note
- PxHitBuffer derives from this class and is used to receive touching hits in a fixed size buffer.
-
Since the compiler doesn't look in template dependent base classes when looking for non-dependent names
-
with some compilers it will be necessary to use "this->hasBlock" notation to access a parent variable
-
in a child callback class.
-
Pre-made typedef shorthands, such as PxRaycastCallback can be used for raycast, overlap and sweep queries.
- See also
- PxHitBuffer PxRaycastHit PxSweepHit PxOverlapHit PxRaycastCallback PxOverlapCallback PxSweepCallback
◆ PxHitCallback()
template<typename HitType>
Initializes the class with user provided buffer.
- Parameters
-
| [in] | aTouches | Optional buffer for recording PxQueryHitType::eTOUCH type hits. |
| [in] | aMaxNbTouches | Size of touch buffer. |
- Note
- if aTouches is NULL and aMaxNbTouches is 0, only the closest blocking hit will be recorded by the query.
-
If PxQueryFlag::eANY_HIT flag is used as a query parameter, hasBlock will be set to true and blockingHit will be used to receive the result.
-
Both eTOUCH and eBLOCK hits will be registered as hasBlock=true and stored in PxHitCallback.block when eANY_HIT flag is used.
- See also
- PxHitCallback.hasBlock PxHitCallback.block
◆ ~PxHitCallback()
template<typename HitType>
◆ finalizeQuery()
template<typename HitType>
Query finalization callback, called after the last processTouches callback.
◆ hasAnyHits()
template<typename HitType>
Returns true if any blocking or touching hits were encountered during a query.
◆ processTouches()
template<typename HitType>
virtual callback function used to communicate query results to the user.
This callback will always be invoked with touches as a buffer if touches was specified as non-NULL. All reported touch hits are guaranteed to be closer than the closest blocking hit.
- Parameters
-
| [in] | buffer | Callback will report touch hits to the user in this buffer. This pointer will be the same as touches. |
| [in] | nbHits | Number of touch hits reported in buffer. This number will not exceed maxNbTouches. |
- Note
- There is a significant performance penalty in case multiple touch callbacks are issued (up to 2x)
-
to avoid the penalty use a bigger buffer so that all touching hits can be reported in a single buffer.
-
If true (again) is returned from the callback, nbTouches will be reset to 0,
-
If false is returned, nbTouched will remain unchanged.
-
By the time processTouches is first called, the globally closest blocking hit is already determined,
-
values of hasBlock and block are final and all touch hits are guaranteed to be closer than the blocking hit.
-
touches and maxNbTouches can be modified inside of processTouches callback.
- Returns
- true to continue receiving callbacks in case there are more hits or false to stop.
- See also
- PxAgain PxRaycastHit PxSweepHit PxOverlapHit
Implemented in PxHitBuffer< HitType >, PxHitBuffer< PxOverlapHit >, PxHitBuffer< PxRaycastHit >, and PxHitBuffer< PxSweepHit >.
◆ block
template<typename HitType>
Holds the closest blocking hit result for the query. Invalid if hasBlock is false.
◆ hasBlock
template<typename HitType>
Set to true if there was a blocking hit during query.
◆ maxNbTouches
template<typename HitType>
◆ nbTouches
template<typename HitType>
Number of touching hits returned by the query. Used with PxHitBuffer.
- Note
- If true (PxAgain) is returned from the callback, nbTouches will be reset to 0.
◆ touches
template<typename HitType>
User specified buffer for touching hits.

My project for SoundNetwork and Octopus Collective featured an Arduino powered auto-Guitar Stags Head hole made in collaboration with the excellent Chiz Turnross Octopus's FON Festival 2011.
Crazy Golf Hack was a site specific Artist hackspace and site specific physical computing workshop aiming to extend and support socially engaged contexts for art, technology and new music.
Designed and curated by Ross Dalziel with artists Chiz Turnross and Douglas Laing
This was a family friendly event allowing artists to playfully hack an existing pitch & putt golf course in Barrow Park and bring out its 'inner' crazy golf course.
A mix of fun and serious interaction design it allowed artists to learn from each other and collaborate and respond to real world hands on systems like golf courses.

1. Plan out your week to keep track of upcoming deadlines and exams.
2. Remember dudes and dudettes!
It is IMPORTANT to stay on top of your work. Do not, I daresay, leave work at the last minute. Especially if you have that 6 page English essay due the next morning . . .
3. Create and stick to good study habits. They'll come in handy towards midterm and final season.
4. Explore beyond the campus!
Check out the Prudential Center or Chinatown. There's a whole city to explore outside of your dorm.
5.
6. Last but not least, remember to have fun and enjoy your new home for the next 4 years!!!
In high school, I was used to simply memorizing my daily agenda or any future assignments that I needed to do. Consequently, I would forget at least one or two assignments until the last possible minute and regret not planning out beforehand. It's not that I wasn't able to plan my tasks; I was just being lazy and never really realize its importance since I went through high school just fine. After the Time Management lesson, I realized I needed to organize my time and prioritization better. Because of the time management unit, I was able to create a month's worth of planning that I could look back to in case I was unsure I had unfinished work.
Close ProjectThe Advising 101 lesson was one of the most important lessons that helped further my academic progression. The class prepared for the Spring 2019 course registration that I completely forgot about until the week before. I was pretty nervous since I did not have as much credits as some of my friends and was unsure if I could even get the classes I wanted. Fortunately, the lesson guided me through the process by creating three possible course plans I could take and trouble shoot a few errors that may occur. In the end, I wasn't entirely satisfied with my Spring schedule, but I was definitely glad the advising lesson helped me understand the registration process.
Close ProjectBefore I came to Northeastern, I had a relatively limited amount of knowledge of the Computer Science field. I came onto campus as a Combined Computer Science and Math major, but I was still unsure of what exactly I might become after college. Seeing the intoduction to Computer Science presentation, I saw how there were numerous majors that I might be interested in if I ever realized my current major wasn't fit for me. Aside from that, I realized that I developed an interest in data science field and there was a major for it, but I wanted to stay in my combined major. I talked to a CS and Math mentor at the Major Mentor event and found out that I could still be connected to data science since CS and Math are both heavy influences in the field. I was relieved and glad that I had a greater knowledge of the broad field of CS, so that I can better develop my academic and professional career.
Close ProjectMy first Passport Event was about cyber crime and how the FBI deals with different types of cyber crime. At the same time, the FBI representative elaborated on the process of becoming an FBI agent, specifically in the cyber sector. I learned that a Business Mail Compromise happens around the world, resulting in the loss of millions in dollars. For example, Xoom lost $30.8M in Jan. 2015, and its CFO was forced to resign. The idea of a career in cybercrime as an FBI agent sounded appealing, but the event helped me realize I didn't want to take a path in the cybersecurity field. Moreover, the event solidified my goal to be a part of the data science field, specifically. I acknowledge that the idea of beating cyber crime as an FBI agent sounded appealing, but I felt much more comfortable with the idea of utilizing organized data to produce meaning and information.
Close ProjectMy class' fellow, Derek Schuster (shoutout to him), informed everyone in my class of the github events that were being held. I was interested in git and GitHub, so I went to the first event that mainly talked about the logistics of using git and how to create your own personal repository. Technically, you could think of GitHub as a social platform for a company or group of people can work on at the same time. I further looked into GitHub and found out that I could export some of my projects into GitHub using git commands in the terminal and publish them live. I was able to publish this website from Cloud9 to GitHub :). Sadly, I wasn't able to attend the intermediate event, but I look forward to utilizing GitHub more in the future!
Close ProjectThis event was a bit different from the previous two events that I went to in that it was more physically interactive. I learned how to deal with stress through various methods of meditiations and exercises from the event. The instructors of the event also explained the history of meditation and its ties to Hinduism. The event was only roughly 30 to 40 minutes, but I learned a few helpful tips to handle with stress. For example, I learned to maintain calmness to help me navigate through built up stress from upcoming deadlines and exams.

In the video above by Jeff Masters (which is also the primary inspiration for this project), he gives an overview on the effects of climate change on hurricanes and droughts.
In summary, as the temperature rises in the ocean, it provides more energy for hurricanes, making them much stronger and more devastating. Warmer climates increases the severity of droughts as well.
Jeff Masters even goes on to predict the possibility of storms and the amount of damage they can cause (The most notable being Hurricane Sandy).
His website, where he discusses weather events that occur throughout the world is here
In the article above from National Geographic, it discusses the affect of pollution from Asia affecting storms in the Pacific. From the article, the aerosol particles coming in from Asia
are making the storms stronger and are even altering the shape of the clouds. This can ultimately affect weather in North America.

Align Fluorescence Channels
| Author: |
Norbert Vischer (vischer -at- science.uva.nl)
|
| History: |
2014-02-03: Version 14
2012-11-22: First version
|
| Source: |
AlignFluorChannels_14.txt
A demo stack is available.
|
| Description: |
Repairs displacement of fluorescence channels in bacterial images.
Channel #1 (phase contrast) is used as reference.
|
| Features |
- Manual operation: drag cell outlines to match fluorescence pattern
- Automatic operation via FFT correlation
- Supports multi-frame hyperstacks
- Batch proceccing: process all hyperstacks in a folder
- Displacements are recorded in a table
|
Fig 1: before alignment
Fig 2: after alignment
Macro Commands:
Show PhC Outlines [1]
Displays cell outlines derived from phase contrast in channel 1. This selection can manually be dragged
so it matches the fluorescence pattern. Use Edit> Select None (shift-A) to remove selection.
Align Manually [2]
Shifts (translates) content of current channel by the amount the user has dragged the cell outlines
Align Automatically [4]
Aligns all fluorescence channels in current hyperstack using FFT correlation.
You can observe the result by selecting Show PhC Outlines. Old table Offset.txt will be replaced by a new one.
Align All Stacks in Folder... [5]
Performs automatic alignment to all tiff hyperstacks in chosen folder.
Note that the files will be overwritten, so make sure you have a back-up in case
the result is not satisfactory.
Notes for hyperstacks:
Either multiple slices or multiple frames are allowed, not both (i.e. no 5D stack)
If stack has multiple slices, they are converted to multiple frames.
First channel must be used for phase contrast,
followed by one or more fluorescent channels. If in doubt, choose:
Image>Color>Arrange Channels...
If required absolute shift is > 30 pixels, user is asked for confirmation.
Notes for automatic FFT alignment:
Phase contrast channel is converted to a mask, so objects have intensity = 1
and background has intensity 0. This mask is multiplied with the underlying
fluorescence channel, and the total fluorescence of the product is measured.
By shifting the mask in x and y direction, this value will change.
Those offsets that yield the maximum result will be used for alignment.
Using FFT correlation, this process can be done in a single step.
Alignment is performed via a 1024 * 1024 FFT image. This
also defines precision of alignment, independent of
the image size. Increasing fftSize=1024 by factors of 2 will improve resolution
but process slower.
Limitations:
The automatic method works best if there is statistically enough material,
i.e. if there are many cells, and if fluorescence is evenly distributed inside
the cell (which is the case in the demo file). Conversely, it may fail in other cases.

Deploying Django with Apache and mod_wsgi is the recommended way to get Django into production.
mod_wsgi is an Apache module which can be used to host any Python application which supports the Python WSGI interface, including Django. Django will work with any version of Apache which supports mod_wsgi.
The official mod_wsgi documentation is fantastic; it’s your source for all the details about how to use mod_wsgi. You’ll probably want to start with the installation and configuration documentation.
Once you’ve got mod_wsgi installed and activated, edit your httpd.conf file and add:
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite/apache/django.wsgi
The first bit above is the url you want to be serving your application at (/ indicates the root url), and the second is the location of a "WSGI file" -- see below -- on your system, usually inside of your project. This tells Apache to serve any request below the given URL using the WSGI application defined by that file.
Next we'll need to actually create this WSGI application, so create the file mentioned in the second part of WSGIScriptAlias and add:
import os
import sys
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
If your project is not on your PYTHONPATH by default you can add:
path = '/path/to/mysite'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
just below the import sys line to place your project on the path. Remember to replace 'mysite.settings' with your correct settings file, and '/path/to/mysite' with your own project's location.
Django doesn't serve files itself; it leaves that job to whichever Web server you choose.
We recommend using a separate Web server -- i.e., one that's not also running Django -- for serving media. Here are some good choices:
If, however, you have no option but to serve media files on the same Apache VirtualHost as Django, you can set up Apache to serve some URLs as static media, and others using the mod_wsgi interface to Django.
This example sets up Django at the site root, but explicitly serves robots.txt, favicon.ico, any CSS file, and anything in the /static/ and /media/ URL space as a static file. All other URLs will be served using mod_wsgi:
Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/wsgi/static/robots.txt
Alias /favicon.ico /usr/local/wsgi/static/favicon.ico
AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) /usr/local/wsgi/static/styles/$1
Alias /media/ /usr/local/wsgi/media/
Alias /static/ /usr/local/wsgi/static/
<Directory /usr/local/wsgi/static>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/wsgi/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/wsgi/scripts/django.wsgi
<Directory /usr/local/wsgi/scripts>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Note that the Django development server automagically serves the static files of the admin app, but this is not the case when you use any other server arrangement. You're responsible for setting up Apache, or whichever media server you're using, to serve the admin files.
The admin files live in (django/contrib/admin/media/admin) of the Django distribution.
We strongly recommend using django.contrib.staticfiles to handle the admin files (this means using the collectstatic management command to collect the static files in STATIC_ROOT, and then configuring your webserver to serve STATIC_ROOT at STATIC_URL), but here are two other approaches:
- Create a symbolic link to the admin static files from within your document root.
- Or, copy the admin static files so that they live within your Apache document root.
For more details, see the mod_wsgi documentation on Django integration, which explains the above in more detail, and walks through all the various options you've got when deploying under mod_wsgi.

Ello Mobile Autumn newsletter — rough proposals and final Illustrations.


Graphic novels have delighted readers, both young and old, since the early 1900s. However, fun and light-hearted comics from the early years quickly turned to dark and gritty themes. Because of this, many Christian parents would forbid their children from reading comic books. Then family-friendly Christian media entered the main stream culture. However, is the childrens Christian media that’s being produced accruate to the gruesome tales that appear in the Old and New Testament?
Jesus Christ: Superhero, is a family-friendly conference that debates the historical accuracy of biblical tales and themes that are depicted in childrens media. The conference will debate everything from the works of Spire Christian Comics to the beloved (and often criticized) cartoon, Veggie Tales. It will also include an analysis of the elements, like fonts, drawings, and word choice, that goes in to creating visual media.
Prominent figures in the creative media industry will be traveling from all over the world to speak on a wide variety of topics. Important figures include Zoe Quinn, a game developer who will give a presentation on the merits of famous Christian video games, including, Bible Adventures (1991) and Captian Bible in Dome of Darkness (1994). Others include, Val Head, an animator, and Dr. Nadine Chahine, a typologist.
Registration will open on January 1, 2020

[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> @englal how do I upgrade? or do I need to build from scratch?
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> The new releases are on the website at veruscoin.io
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> so download the cli?
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> You can either download them there and run or if you built before just do a git pull and build again.
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> or can I upgrade my existing install that I compiled yesterday?
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> That is probably your better bet
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> so follow the same steps, but it will be quicker?
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> or will it build from the beginning?
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> just go into your veruscoin directory (not src) and run:
git pull
zcutil/build.sh
[dscrdvrsc] <karero> Here's my update procedure (takes me 3 min for Linux CLI):
(edited)
[dscrdvrsc] <karero> (using TMUX: sudo apt-get install tmux + links2 Browser: sudo apt-get install links2)
It's important to stop mining before updating from what I understand.
links2 veruscoin.io
Navigate to Linux CLI and save
cd verus-cli
./verus stop
cd ..
tar -xzvf verus-cli-linux-v0.3.8.tar.gz
cd verus-cli
tmux
Launch komodo daemon for virus with 12 threads (set a the number of cores of your CPU, try doubling it later, maybe each of your core can do 2 threads)
./verusd -gen -genproclimit=12
[ctrl]&b d (to detach TMUX)
To check (in verus-cli directory):
./verus getmininginfo
To change threads (from outside the Verus process), e.g.
./verus setgenerate true 24
(edited)
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> It won't have as many dependencies to go out and fetch, and there are other steps it can skip, so it should build faster than the first time.
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> ok, but generally installing the cli will be quicker?
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> Yes, unless running on a system that has some dependency difficulties.
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> ok, so less risky to stick with what i have
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> I guess those won't have bene magically fixed yet
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> been
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> @englal how do I check it's finished?
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> I mean, check the version
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> also I did build.sh, not with the -j command? is that going to be a problem in terms of speed?
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> j something, for thread/core number
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> It depends on the machine, but it will probably be slower I really don't know how much slower, but the build shouldn't take very long even on a single thread if it isn't the first time building.
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> ok, and how can I check the version afterwards?
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> I guess I'll see I have more mhs for one thing
[dscrdvrsc] <englal> That's going to be your clearest indicator. It won't be a small difference.
[dscrdvrsc] <Hope_Trader> ok

1.4 Python Development and VersionsPython is developed by the Python Labs of Zope Corporation, which consists of half a dozen core developers headed by Guido van Rossum, Python's inventor, architect, and Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL). This title means that Guido has the final say on what becomes part of the Python language and standard libraries. Python intellectual property is vested in the Python Software Foundation (PSF), a non-profit corporation devoted to promoting Python, with dozens of individual members (nominated for their contributions to Python, and including all of the Python core team) and corporate sponsors. Most PSF members have commit privileges to Python's CVS tree on SourceForge (http://sf.net/cvs/?group_id=5470), and most Python CVS committers are members of the PSF. Proposed changes to Python are detailed in public documents called Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs), debated (and sometimes advisorily voted upon) by Python developers and the wider Python community, and finally approved or rejected by Guido, who takes debate and votes into account but is not bound by them. Hundreds of people contribute to Python development, through PEPs, discussion, bug reports, and proposed patches to Python sources, libraries, and documentation. Python Labs releases minor versions of Python (2.x, for growing values of x) about once or twice a year. 2.0 was released in October 2000, 2.1 in April 2001, and 2.2 in December 2001. Python 2.3 is scheduled to be released in early 2003. Each minor release adds features that make Python more powerful and simpler to use, but also takes care to maintain backward compatibility. One day there will be a Python 3.0 release, which will be allowed to break backward compatibility to some extent. However, that release is still several years in the future, and no specific plans for it currently exist. Each minor release 2.x starts with alpha releases, tagged as 2.xa0, 2.xa1, and so on. After the alphas comes at least one beta release, 2.xb1, and after the betas at least one release candidate, 2.xrc1. By the time the final release of 2.x comes out, it is always solid, reliable, and well tested on all major platforms. Any Python programmer can help ensure this by downloading alphas, betas, and release candidates, trying them out on existing Python programs, and filing bug reports for any problem that might emerge. Once a minor release is out, most of the attention of the core team switches to the next minor release. However, a minor release normally gets successive point releases (i.e., 2.x.1, 2.x.2 and so on) that add no functionality but can fix errors, port Python to new platforms, enhance documentation, and add optimizations and tools. The Python Business Forum (http://python-in-business.org) is an international society of companies that base their business on Python. The Forum, among other activities, tests and maintains special Python releases (known as "Python-in-a-tie") that Python Labs certifies for industrial-strength robustness. This book focuses on Python 2.2 (and all its point releases), the most stable and widespread release at the time of this writing, and the basis of the current "Python-in-a-tie" efforts. It also mentions a few changes scheduled to appear in Python 2.3, and documents the parts of the language and libraries that are new in 2.2 and thus cannot be used with the previous 2.1 release. Python 2.1 is still important because it's used in widely deployed Zope 2.x releases (the current Zope releases, 3.x, rely on Python 2.2 and later). Also, at the time of this writing, the released version of Jython supports only Python 2.1, not yet Python 2.2. Among older releases of Python, the only one with a large installed base is 1.5.2, which is part of most installations of Red Hat Linux Releases 6.x and 7.x. However, this book does not address Python 1.5.2, which is over three years old and should not be used for any new development. Python's backward compatibility is good: current versions of Python are able to properly process just about any valid Python 1.5.2 program. |

The readyState property holds the status of the XMLHttpRequest.
The onreadystatechange property defines a function to be executed when the readyState changes.
The status property and the statusText property holds the status of the XMLHttpRequest object.
The onreadystatechange function is called every time the readyState changes.
When readyState is 4 and status is 200, the response is ready.
The onreadystatechange event is triggered four times (1-4), one time for each change in the readyState.
A callback function is a function passed as a parameter to another function.
If you have more than one AJAX task in a website, you should create one function for executing the XMLHttpRequest object, and one callback function for each AJAX task.
The function call should contain the URL and what function to call when the response is ready.
The responseText property returns the server response as a JavaScript string, and you can use it accordingly:
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
The XML HttpRequest object has an in-built XML parser.
The responseXML property returns the server response as an XML DOM object.
Using this property you can parse the response as an XML DOM object:
The getAllResponseHeaders() method returns all header information from the server response.
The getAllResponseHeaders() function returns all the header information of a resource, like length, server-type, content-type, last-modified, etc:
The getResponseHeader() method returns specific header information from the server response.
The getResponseHeader() function is used to return specific header information from a resource, like length, server-type, content-type, last-modified, etc:

1. Build Tool: Zodiac
Even to create a small site with 3-4 pages can get complicated. Setting up a node-based build tool for such a small site is difficult to teach to beginners as there are lots of ways for command line tools to go wrong, so I searched for a simple static site generator written in awk and sh. I found one on github here: zodiac The basic usage instructions are a bit cryptic for beginning coders, so I plan to fork this and make it more understandable.

Setting Up Development Environment for MCUs with Open-Source Tools (1)
A lot of articles can be found from the Internet talking about this topic. It looks as if you can easily set up the development environment for MCUs by following these instructions. That can be true if you really understand how everything works inside the process of cross-compiling. If not, you probably will get some problems. The main issue, which makes most of the online articles to be not helpful enough, is that most of the authors just give instructions that are specific to a set of tools with specific versions, not telling you why you need to do each step. Very often you find doing the same thing just doesn’t work on your computer, because you’re using a different version, or working on a different operating system. You have to Google a lot to find every missing piece to get your tool chain fit and complete.
This situation happened to me when I first tried to set up open-source environment for the development of STM32F4 Discovery board. Before that I had been using IDEs like Codewarrior, AVR-Studio, MDK-ARM and IAR for development of MCUs. These IDEs are convenient and take care of a lot of configuration work for you. But it also means these IDEs hide a lot of details about how tools like compilers and linkers work internally. However, with open-source tools, you have to understand the workflow and figure out how to put all the tools together and get them work properly. If you understand this first, you will find reading the articles I mentioned above becomes more helpful. You will not have to follow them step by step without a clue why you’re doing that. Instead you’re learning tricks or experience gained for that type of MCU using tool set like GNU toolchain, which are the true values of these articles.
Since I’m talking about this topic myself now, I would like to introduce the workflow of the environment configuration first. I use development of Cortex-M microcontrollers as an example. But you will find the idea is very similiar with the development of other 8-bit, 16-bit microcontrollers.
As shown in Figure 1, you have a few source files and header files(labeled in yellow on the left) in your hand. Usually people start with a blinking LED program, the “Hello World” for the embedded world. To make the code run on the microcontroller, you will also need startup code and a linker script. I will talk about how to get these two files in detail later. Now just assume you’ve already got these two. Then the four types of files are the input to your toolset. What you want to get is a binary file that can be burnt to and run on your microcontroller, which is labeled in blue in the figure. Getting these files, what your tools will need to do for you:
- C compiler(gcc) compiles source files and header files into assembly files
- Together with the startup file, which is usually written in assembly language, all the assembly files will be passed to the assembler(as) and generated to be object files.
- With the description of linker script, the linker(ld) will link all object files into an executable file. This file can be used for debugging. But it’s not ready yet to be burnt into the flash of your MCU.
- Finally a tool(objcopy) will convert the executable file into a binary file which can be understood and executed by the microcontroller.
After finishing the above steps, you’ve got the file you want for the MCU. Then you will need to use a tool to write it to the flash of the MCU. For the STM32F4 Discovery board, you can use the onboard stlink. For other Cortex-M based MCUs, you can also use tools like Jlink, ARM-USB-OCD to do the same thing. They are all based on JTAG interface. Both hardware(stlink) and software(st-flash) are necessary to do this work. For AVRs, you can use avrdude on the software side and use a USB cable to transfer the file to the MCU, given that you’ve got a proper bootloader loaded in the MCU already. If you’re trying to use a more advanced IDE rather than the Arduino IDE and want to program your Arduino like a normal AVR microcontroller, you will not need to worry about the bootloader because it should have been set up for you when you bought the Arduino board.
So far you should have got an idea what tools you need and what to do with these tools. I will introduce how to make them work in detail in part two of this article.

 Sometimes, the brain might signal for too little oxygen to perform its task (hypoactivity); in other cases, it might signal for (and receive) more oxygen than required, overtaxing your system and causing it to ‘burn out’ more quickly (hyperactivity). With the right therapy, we can promote neuroplasticity in the affected neural network. This helps the brain to correct its signaling and use the right region for the right process and in the right way. Because of neural plasticity, your brain can restore connections to make that change happen.
the principle which stand out to me reagaurding neuroplasticity especially in this environment is "repition" the more I repeat writing code and continue on fostering mindful habits this will intern rewire my brain an foster greater productivity.

In this exploration, did anything surprise you? Change for you? How will you integrate growth mindset into your learning journey? Link to a resource that you found particularly useful or engaging.
researcher and professor Carol Dweck uses the term mindset to describe the way people think about ability and talent. Dwack deliniates between two different mindsets that exist on a continuam the first is the fixed minset that suggests that your abilities are inate and unchangeable the second is a growth minset that which views it as somethiung that you can improve through practice in a fixed minset you view failure as permanet but in a growth minset you see failure as a chance to learn and even pivot. Those with a fixed mindset are more likely to view critical feedback as a personal attack where as those with a growth mindset will see it as a chance to improve where they can develop new systems with a fixed mindset your more likely to choose easier tasks and put in minimal effort. With a growth mindset you're more likely to embrace challenging tasks and work hard to improve. Those with a fixed mindset are more likely to give up when they face an obstacle meanwhile those with a growth mindset will view obstacles as a chance to experiment and solve problems in a fixed mindset the focus is on measurable accomplishments, but with a growth mindset the focus is more on a journey of continual improvement with a fixed mindset you are less likely to take creative risks but with a growth mindset creative mindsets are simply a way to innovate and improve. Ultimately your minset influences everything from creative risk taking to how you view feedback to whether or not you finish difficult tasks and in the end its one of the greatest factors in determining whether or not you grow and improve in your abilities.
yes, how mindfulness and being aware of you've been plays a kep role in your development. It also reinforced my beliefs about continuously goal setting and setting personal challenges. To try and better yourself, work hard continuously remind yourself that you are not defined by your failures but rather how you deal with those failure that surely felt like the end of the world.
My plan is to double down and find new ways to become a better version of myself in the work place and in my personal life. The key for me is routine, to make solid plan for daily routine and stick to them until they become habits. Also to incorperate afirmations into my daily routine to acompany journaling and excersize whihc has been a continuous practice in my life. Finally to find more balance

Red Planet * * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Antony Hoffman. Cast: Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, Simon Baker, Terence Stamp, Benjamin Bratt. 2000 - 110 minutes Rated PG-13 (for violence, profanity, and partial nudity). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, November 11, 2000.
Since space movies have grown more than a little tiresome over the years, and with another film about Mars released this past March, there was more than a few reservations at the onset of "Red Planet." After all, what fresh material could director Antony Hoffman and screenwriters Chuck Pfarrer and Jonathan Lemkin possibly muster out of such a worn-out premise? Quite surprisingly, the answer turns out to be a lot, as "Red Planet" is not only infinitely superior to last spring's "Mission to Mars," but also one of the most involving and well-made space-set thrillers since Ridley Scott's 1979 opus, "Alien."
Set in 2050, when the Earth's polluted atmosphere has quickly made the planet nearly unlivable, a six-person crew set off on a six-month voyage to Mars to reconfirm that colonization may, in fact, be possible for humans. With Lt. Cmdr. Kate Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss) staying behind with the ship after a malfunctioning problem, the other five members--"hotshot" second-in-command Ted Santen (Benjamin Bratt), veteran Chief Science Officer Bud Chantilas (Terence Stamp), medical systems engineer Gallagher (Val Kilmer), Dr. Quinn Burchenal (Tom Sizemore), and Dr. Chip Pettengill (Simon Baker)--make their way to the red planet to reach a previously-built station equipped with enough oxygen, food, and water to last 26 months.
Oddly enough, the algae that had been heavily spray upon Mars' surface twenty years before has mysteriously disappeared. And what they don't expect is that the station has been completely destroyed, leaving them with only seven hours until the oxygen in their helmets runs out. Making matters worse is AMEE (Autonomous Mapping Evaluation and Evasion), a robot that Kate sends to Mars to aid in finding the crew, but whose military instincts go haywire on the rough landing, leaving it a murderous force hell-bent on destroying the entire group.
Sumptuously photographed by Peter Suschitzky, with the desolate landscapes of Wadi Rum, Jordan, and Coober Pedy, Australia standing in for Mars, "Red Planet" is a suspense-filled, surprisingly thoughtful drama that plausibly tells what could happen if the Earth ever did grow too polluted to live on. Deliberately paced, yet never stalling for a minute, the film draws you into its setup as we meet and grow to understand the dynamics of the six characters, and then lets loose into an unpredictable thrill ride once they are unleashed upon the largely unexplored terrain of the foreign planet.
Despite including an excessive, unnecessary narration by Kate Bowman that bookends the main attraction, the film rarely steps wrong. One of the major pleasures is the way that, despite revealing its main plotline, it is always difficult to decipher where the film is going, and what the outcome will be. Furthermore, instead of turning into a monster-on-the-loose horror movie, director Hoffman wisely aims higher, and makes the dangerous AMEE only a subplot to a much larger story about a crew that find themselves fighting to survive the perilous planet itself, and using their brains and the expertise they hold in their profession to do so.
The actors fit snugly in their roles, with the standouts being lead Val Kilmer, who is so charismatic as a performer that he deserves more roles; Carrie-Anne Moss, who brings a tough poignancy to her character of Kate; and Terence Stamp, who, in the picture's most thought-provoking line, says, "I realized science couldn't answer the really interesting questions, so I turned to philosophy. I've been searching for God ever since." The dignity that Stamp brings to his supporting appearance as aging scientist Bud Chantilas is quite extraordinary, and even when he goes AWOL in the second hour, his lasting impression has long-since been made. Rounding out the cast is the bland Benjamin Bratt, rising Australian actor Simon Baker, and Tom Sizemore.
Ultimately, "Red Planet" is such a convincing motion picture because the talented actors and the mostly tightly-written script make you believe everything that is happening to them. With Mars giving off alternately reddish and bluish tints, with its rocky, mountainous vistas, and a violent ice storm the size of Montana sweeping through the area at one point, the visual effects are also startlingly believable. There is no reason why "Red Planet" should be such a successfully entertaining thriller, but almost everything falls into place and seems to effortlessly work. Maybe there's life yet in the gradually wearisome space genre. Movies like "Red Planet" can only help.

Thieves are now stealing VW polo, GTI headlights
The cost of one set of LED or zenon lights is estimated at R17K.
by Moleboheng ChahaMotorists are warned against the rising theft of vehicle headlights. Photo: Supplied
The theft of headlights from parked VW Polos and GTI vehicles is costing motorists thousands of rands.
This is according to a post that has gone viral on social media, warning motorists about this growing trend, reports Sedibeng Ster.
On their Facebook page, The Intelligence Bureau SA warns against an increase in headlights being stolen from VW polos and GTI vehicles in the Gauteng area, urging motorists to take cognisance and not park their vehicles in unsafe areas.
“This said to be common practice in Maputo and Mozambique where headlights are engraved with the number plate or VIN number to curb these thefts. The cost is approximately R17,000.00 for a set of LED or zenon lights; it’s understandable why they are being stolen.”
Since the post went viral, motorists have come out relaying similar experiences in some areas of Gauteng.
Motorists were urged to take precautions, especially at the start of the festive season.


Since we have a “Hello World” HTTP server, let’s then create an HTTP client to access that server. This client will be similar to the HTTP client we made earlier in the documentation.
We want to create a simple HTTP client that just makes a request to the HTTP server that we created earlier. This really simple client will look like this:
#include <boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
namespace http = boost::network::http;
int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " address port" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
try {
http::client client;
std::ostringstream url;
url << "http://" << argv[1] << ":" << argv[2] << "/";
http::client::request request(url.str());
http::client::response response =
client.get(request);
std::cout << body(response) << std::endl;
} catch (std::exception & e) {
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Just like with the HTTP Server and HTTP client example before, we can build this example by doing the following on the shell:
$ cd ~/cpp-netlib
$ g++ -o hello_world_client \
> libs/network/example/http/hello_world_client.cpp \
> -I$BOOST_ROOT \
> -I. \
> -L$BOOST_ROOT/stage/lib \
> -lboost_system \
> -pthread
This example can be run from the command line as follows:
$ ./hello_world_client <IP_ADDRESS> 8000
Note
This assumes that you have the hello_world_server running on localhost port 8000.
All this example shows is how easy it is to write an HTTP client that connects to an HTTP server, and gets the body of the response. The relevant lines are:
http::client client;
http::client::request request(url.str());
http::client::response response =
client.get(request);
std::cout << body(response) << std::endl;
You can then imagine using this in an XML-RPC client, where you can craft the XML-RPC request as payload which you can pass as the body to a request, then perform the request via HTTP:
http::client client;
http::client::request request("http://my.webservice.com/");
http::client::response =
client.post(request, "application/xml", some_xml_string);
std::data = body(response);

JavaScript and Java are similar in some ways but fundamentally different in some others. The JavaScript language resembles Java but does not have Java's static typing and strong type checking. JavaScript follows most Java expression syntax, naming conventions and basic control-flow constructs which was the reason why it was renamed from LiveScript to JavaScript. In contrast to Java's compile-time system of classes built by declarations, JavaScript supports a runtime system based on a small number of data types representing numeric, Boolean, and string values. JavaScript has a prototype-based object model instead of the more common class-based object model. The prototype-based model provides dynamic inheritance; that is, what is inherited can vary for individual objects. JavaScript also supports functions without any special declarative requirements. Functions can be properties of objects, executing as loosely typed methods. JavaScript is a very free-form language compared to Java. You do not have to declare all variables, classes, and methods. You do not have to be concerned with whether methods are public, private, or protected, and you do not have to implement interfaces. Variables, parameters, and function return types are not explicitly typed.
