Hockey is an aggressive sport. The average fan walks away from a game unsatisfied if they don't get to watch at least one fight break out. Power Plays make hockey the exciting game it is. But in the interest of winning a game, just how valuable is it to be an aggressive player?
The average player ends up in the penalty box for just under a minute per game. Dave "Tiger" Williams, on the other hand, maintained an average of 4.2 minutes per game, amassing a whopping 3.07 hours of penalty time over his career. Considering he made over a million dollars at the peak of his career, that's a lot of money for the Maple Leafs to shell out on their penalty box.
In general, there seems to be an inverse relationship between penalty minutes and PPG. The logic feels right--hopping in and out of the box can interrupt a player's rhythm while well-behaved players remain focused on scoring points. That's certainly the case for Wayne Gretzky, the all-time leader in PPG who averaged only 0.4 penalty minutes (that's 24 seconds!) per game.
How did others fare? Check it out for yourself:


My First Week @ MS
Friday, April 25, 2003
After my first week at Microsoft *everyone* wanted to
know how it went, both internally and externally. I learned some things:
-
I learned that folks at MS will call a meeting for lots and lots of reasons,
including at the slightest sign of confrontation or hurt feelings. For a guy
that hasn't really attended a meeting in the last decade, this is quite a
switch : )
- I learned how to schedule a meeting w/ multiple people
and a conference room (listed as "conf room <bld>" in the address book), all
with conflicting schedules and all remotely using Outlook Web Access and
without a SmartCard (I was pretty proud of that one, actually : )
- I
learned that no one uses the phone for anything -- instead, they schedule
meetings
- I learned that it's the person that wants something that
does the actually scheduling of the meeting
- I learned that it's OK
to open your laptop in a meeting, otherwise when would you get any work
done?
- I learned that it causes quite a stir when you disagree with
the technical lead of one of the major pieces of technology that you're
supposed to be taking to the world
- I learned that it's darn hard to
find out who to talk to your first week, and that you should take your boss
to most of your initial meetings so that s/he can make sure you're getting
what you need to get from them
- I learned that you can mix Exchange
and POP3/SMTP to keep your new and your old email addresses going, if you
use Office 11 and if you are willing to give up calendar and follow up
notifications on your POP3/SMTP account (have I missed something?). I also
learned that internal MS support doesn't help w/ such things.
- I
learned that internal MS support is the greatest support in the whole darn
world. These people don't let you off the phone 'til everything works.
They're amazing
- I learned that you can volunteer for absolutely
anything you think is cool or important so long as you get everything else
done, too
- I learned that it's not good to ask for NDA access to
super-secret bits for your friends the week before you start working there
(OK, I'm pretty sure I knew that before, but I had to try... : )
- I
learned that the right folks hanging out at lunch can make all kinds of
interesting things happen
- I learned that MS and it's employees is
the most charitable company in the country (world?)
- I learned that
the internal resources for MS employees are unbelievable. I could work their
my whole life and never take advantage of all of them
- I learned that
it's important to sign up for your benefits immediately if you're going to
be remote w/o a SmartCard for a while, otherwise your son may wake you up in
the middle of the night with a hard toothache and when you take him to the
dentist the next day, the dentist won't be able to confirm your dental
insurance (as one example : )
- I learned that most everyone at MS is
very nice (even when they're telling you to f-off)
- I learned that
everyone (and I'm no exception) has a hard time fitting in at first.  I pray that it doesn't last that long for me
- I learned that
after the initial period that few that survive it would ever think of
leaving. I absolutely see how that could be

I care about peace because humanity faces a number of urgent social justice and environmental challenges, and I believe we will need to engage in peaceful and productive dialogue to address these challenges. That is why I am a student on Nonviolent Communication. NVC offers strategies of communication with a core emphasis on empathy and cooperation.

Several people asked for my advice last night as I ate a burrito on the bench outside the new El Barrio Burritos restaurant in Brooklyn. They wanted to know if I was enjoying the burrito and if I recommended they get one. I told them, I like burritos and it is a burrito, so I am enjoying it. If you like burritos, get a burrito.
I feel grounded and centered.
Maybe. It might remind me of who I am at the core rather than the stereotypes others or myself might assign to me. I will have to give it a try.
Yes. Exercises. Like jumping jacks, jogging in place, jogging in the park, pushups, sit-ups. Anything to get the blood pumping and the breath moving. Help clear out the system. Also, embracing the beauty of nature can bring a sense of wellness.

Abstract: The modelling of human exposure in realistic exposure scenarios is complex, because several parameters (e.g., the source design, the frequency band, the orientation of incident fields, the morphology and posture of subjects) vary and influence the dose. Deterministic dosimetry, so far used to quantify human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), is highly time consuming if the variations of those parameters are considered. Stochastic dosimetry is an alternative approach to assess EMF exposure and consists in building analytical approximations of the exposure at a parsimonious computational cost. In this study, it was used to assess the influence of magnetic flux density (B) orientation on fetal exposure at 50 Hz using the polynomial chaos (PC) theory. A PC expansion of induced electric field (E) in each fetal tissue at 7 months of gestational age (GA) was built as a function of B orientation. Maximum E in each fetal tissue was estimated for different exposure configurations and compared with the limits of the International Commission of NonIonising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Guidelines 2010. PC theory resulted in an efficient method to build accurate approximations of E in each fetal tissue. B orientation influenced E with a variability across tissues in the range from 10% to 25% with respect to the mean value. However, varying B orientation, maximum E in each fetal tissue was below the limits of ICNIRP 2010.

THE GOOD MOTHER A film review by Peter Reiher Copyright 1988 Peter Reiher
Unlikely as it may seem, Leonard Nimoy is one of the hottest directors in Hollywood. ("In the land of the deaf, he with pointed ears is king?") Successes with the Star Trek movies, followed by THREE MEN AND A BABY, have made him highly sought after. Nimoy is now attempting to parlay his successes with comedy and science fiction into a broader career. THE GOOD MOTHER is his bid for respectability. While a reasonably good film itself, Nimoy is not likely to strike box-office pay dirt with it, nor to earn the respect of his peers.
THE GOOD MOTHER, based on a novel by Sue Miller, is a serious drama about a custody suit filed against a divorced mother. The underlying theme is not the custody battle itself, but the concept of motherhood in modern America. Is motherhood a sufficient self-definition for a woman? How much should a mother sacrifice for her child?  The novel apparently addressed those questions squarely. The film deals with them obliquely, preferring to get down into the TV movie aspects of the story.
Given the choice of director and leading actress, this approach was probably inevitable. While Nimoy made STAR TREK IV entertaining, and THREE MEN AND A BABY delightful, he had given no indication that he had any special talent for more serious work. Diane Keaton, who plays the mother in the film, has made a habit of having herself miscast in films based on successful novels. THE GOOD MOTHER continues that trend. In order to explore the issues without bogging down in the melodrama, THE GOOD MOTHER needed a director experienced in the complexities of drama (such as, perhaps, Sydney Pollack) and an actress who brings less history to her roles (such as, perhaps, Barbara Hershey). But Touchstone chose commercialism over the possibility of brilliance.
What's most disheartening about this choice is that the powerful drama that obviously attracted all involved to THE GOOD MOTHER doesn't come through nearly as strongly as it should. The fault can be divided between Michael Bortman's script, Nimoy's direction, and, to a lesser degree, to Keaton. Bortman's screenplay tries to preserve some of the complexities of the novel, particularly in an extended prologue that is connected to the rest of the story by theme, rather than by plot. This sort of digression is a commonplace in novels, but is much trickier in films. Bortman's script fails to integrate the prologue's theme into the rest of the film, yet later scenes depend on information from the prologue, making it indispensable, yet irrelevant. While this is the most obvious failing of the script, the construction never seems very strong. Also, it takes far too long to get to its main conflict, yet still fails to establish the necessary background to make that conflict work. The dialog, on the other hand, is fairly good. It sounds realistic without being trite, and, with reasonable economy, conveys what must be told.
Nimoy's direction is competent, but undistinguished. The film has no strong visual feel. It looks like a well-lit TV movie, with predictable two-shots and alternating closeups during conversations. Nimoy tracks the camera only when the characters are walking, and otherwise moves it only when absolutely necessary. The single shot that deviates from this dull pattern is itself a cinematic cliche - a static medium shot of an emotionally devastated character who doesn't move as the lighting slowly changes. You've definitely seen this one before, and done better. David Watkin, the cinematographer, lights the scenes warmly and well, but otherwise does not make a strong contribution to the film. The pacing of THE GOOD MOTHER is staid and reverent, with only a moment or two of excitement. On the up side, Nimoy does well with the actors, at least with those who the script has provided sufficient meat to sculpt a character. And, while his direction shows no brilliance, Nimoy makes no terrible mistakes. THE GOOD MOTHER is definitely a good job of craftsmanship, if not a work of art.
Keaton's performance is probably about as good as it could be, within the boundaries she brought to the role. To some extent, Keaton will always live in our memories as Woody Allen's eccentric girlfriend. Her success in a part often depends on whether the audience can accept that Annie Hall might have "grown up" to be that woman. And I suppose Annie Hall could have grown up into THE GOOD MOTHER. Keaton fails to lose herself in the role, but gives a reasonable portrayal of what it might be like for a woman like her to have the experiences of the character in the film. The problem is that her image distances us from the character, it keeps bringing up the unreality of the film.  Keaton's performance does carry much of the necessary anguish and passion. (Perhaps the only avoidable failing in her performance is that she does not show us the character's strong bond to her child. She seemed more attached to the child in BABY BOOM than to her screen daughter here.)
The script provides a few other parts worthy of notice. Jason Robards does his usual wily lawyer act as Keaton's attorney. It is, as always, a good, entertaining act. Ralph Bellamy's part, as Keaton's grandfather, seems to have suffered in the transition from novel to screen. His character feels like there's a lot of explanation left out. Oddly, the omissions actually work, perhaps because of the mystery. His relationship with Teresa Wright, who plays Keaton's grandmother, provides the film's only suggestion that the film's characters have some life that isn't a part of this story. Wright is very fine in her part. She is sympathetic, yet strong, and convinces us that the woman she plays really lived.
The best of the supporting roles is that given Liam Neeson, who plays the new man in Keaton's life, the unwitting catalyst for the catastrophe that befalls her. Neeson has often been cast in unsympathetic roles, but THE GOOD MOTHER offers him practically a romantic lead. The script is more than generous with his character, giving him good scenes and several important dramatic moments. Neeson makes the most of his opportunity.
THE GOOD MOTHER is a good film, one well worth seeing. It has power in its portrayal of a devoted mother in danger of losing custody of her child without having done anything wrong. Keaton gives a fine performance, the supporting cast is good, the script and direction competent. The only problem with THE GOOD MOTHER is that it could have been much more than it is.

Contextual Inquiry & Affinity mapping
12 weeks
UX Researcher
Chuhan Hou, Mandy Shen, & Neha Dhawan
Reduce manual effort to collect, maintain, manage, update, and cross check contact information from various sources.
The Communications team has to reach out to variety of stakeholders of the institute to spread the word about the institute. Hence, they require updated contact information of these stakeholders periodically. The stakeholders include faculty, postdoctoral students, graduate student researchers, donors, alumni, centres, and board members, however their contact information t is not located in one centralized system but is fragmented and stored on different systems in different formats.
Each team at the institute uses different tools to fulfill their requirements and there is no single centralized data management. Following image displays the tools from which the Communications team collects and manages their data:
During the interview phase, we followed the contextual inquiry method and collected our qualitative data through interpreting the interview recordings into individual statements. Strictly following the method of Contextual inquiry, we conducted all the seven interviews at interviewees’ work space, so we can look above and beyond the proposed problem. All the interviewees were administrative staff within LSI belonging to Communications, Human Resource, Development, Academic Program, and Operations team. After all the interviews, we did the interpretation sessions and came up with an affinity wall to analyze the qualitative data we collected through interviews.
The ideal solution is to have one centralized data management system. Although this ideal solution is not feasible, it does serve as a general guideline for us to brainstorm for recommendations.

Mesos Community Update #1
This is a cross post from the Mesosphere blog.
Our community is in the midst of a revolution. Mesos is no longer an edge technology, only for the Twitters and Airbnbs of the world; it’s going mainstream and we are at its center. There is more activity on the Apache mailing lists, more commits in the code, more frameworks being developed, more developers building tools around Mesos—and, perhaps most excitingly, there are more companies deploying Mesos into production.
All of this activity makes it harder to keep up!
The Mesosphere team wants to help you keep up with all of the community activity by curating a concise semi-regular update, of which this is the first. We are looking to share the most interesting and important activities in the Mesos community.
Here are some recent highlights:
Venture capital icon Vinod Khosla gave a call-out to Mesos in his 2014 Open Networking Summit keynote, where he waxed about the need for a data center OS. The Mesos portion begins at 24:07 in the ONS2014 Keynote YouTube video.
Lab49 software engineer Anvar Karimson re-implemented Stripe’s legendary Capture the Flag (CTF) system on Mesos. Read his blow-by-blow description here: Running Stripe CTF 2.0 on Mesos.
Community member Tomas Barton gave an introductory talk on Mesos at the InstallFest in Prague. In his 59-slide talk, he covered everything from workload balancing to Mesos fault tolerance. View his presentation on SlideShare: Introduction to Apache Mesos.
On February 27, Mesos 0.17.0 was released and you can download it here. The 0.17.0 release features auto-recovery of the replicated log, which enhances Mesos’s high-availability and fault-tolerance. Read more here: Mesos 0.17.0 release notes
On the path toward fully implementing the Mesos Registrar Design, we saw progress toward creating persistence of state information for slaves. Placing a small amount of state information in highly-available storage will make recovery of slaves faster and more graceful (this has been lacking for a while).
Mesosphere has packaged a pre-release version of Mesos 0.18.0 (release candidate 4) that you can now download. The primary features of the upcoming 0.18.0 release are changes that make it easier to insert pluggable container technologies, like Docker. 0.18.0 foreshadows some pretty interesting Docker integrations with Mesos.
Upcoming events:
BBQ at Mesosphere HQ, 6-8 pm, March 28th. Come join us for a low-key BBQ. 145A Hampshire St, San Francisco (near Potrero @ 15th). Swing by and meet our team.
ApacheCon, April 7-9 in Denver. Come see two Mesos presentations: Mesos: Elastically Scalable Operations, Simplified and Building and Running Distributed Systems using Apache Mesos.
We hope to publish these updates at least a few times each month, and we’re interested in your suggestions. Please let us know what you think about the length, content and style, and send us your tips on what to publish each week. Do you have something to share?

And the father said: Example II. On the perfect friend.
A story was told to me about two merchants, one of whom was in Egypt, and the other in Babylon, and they knew each other by hearsay alone, and would send for what they needed through intermediaries. Now it happened that the Babylonian went to Egypt for business. When the Egyptian heard of his arrival he hurried to meet him and received him, rejoicing, into his home and served him in everything for eight days, as is the custom among friends, and showed him all sorts of poetry that he had in his house. At the end of eight days he fell ill. Because of the deep feeling that the host bore towards his friend, he brought in all the Egyptian doctors to examine his guest-friend. Indeed the doctors, after taking his pulse and inspecting his urine again and again, didn't recognize his illness. And because they discerned no physical illness through this, they understood it to be the suffering of love. When his host learned this he went to him and asked if there was a woman in his house that he loved. The sick man said to him: "Show me all the women of your house, and if perchance I see such a one among them, I'll point her out." Whe he heard this he showed him songstresses and handmaidens; none of whom he took a fancy to. After this he showed him all of his daughters; and he likewise altogether rebuffed and disregarded them just as before. Now the host had in his house a certain well-born maiden, whom he had long raised in order to take her as his wife; he showed her to him as well. In truth when the sick man saw her, he said: "To be away from her is death to me and to be with her is life to me." When he heard this he gave the well-born maiden to him to wed, along with everything that he would have received with her. And in addition he gave him the things that he would have given to the maiden if he had taken her in marriage. When these things were done, and he had taken her to wife, along with the things that he had received with his wife, and the business completed, he returned to his homeland.
Now it befell after these events that the Egyptian, who had lost all his possessions in several ways and become a pauper, thought to himself that he would go to Babylon to the friend that he had there, to gain his compassion. And so he took up the journey, naked and starving, and reached Babylon in the silence of a dark and stormy night. But bashfulness kept him from going to the house of his friend, for fear that perchance he would not be recognized at such a time and would be thrown out of the house. And so he entered into an ancient church so he could spend the night there. Now while the uneasy man was for a long time turning over many things in his mind, two men ran to meet each other near the church in the city, of one whom killed the other and fled without a trace. Therefore many townspeople, rushing down on account of the uproar, discovered the killing, and asking who in the world might have carried out the murder, entered the church, hoping to discover the murderer there. Indeed, they discovered the Egyptian there and, asking him who might have killed the man, heard him say, "I killed him". For he fiercely longed to end his poverty, even with his death. And so he was arrested and imprisoned. Now in the morning he's led out before the judges, and sentenced to die and taken to the cross. Indeed many men came running from habit, one of whom was his friend, and the reason he had come to Babylon. And, looking at him quite sharply, he recognized that it was his friend that he'd left in Egypt. And so, recollecting some of the good deeds that he had done for him in Egypt, and thinking as well that he could not recompense him after his death, he resolved to undergo death in his place. And so he exclaimed in a loud voice: "Why are you condemning an innocent man, and how are you leading him? He does not deserve death, _I_ killed the man." And they struck him with their fists and dragged him, bound, to the cross and released the other man from the pain of death. Indeed, the murderer was advancing in the very same crowd and regarding these things, and said to himself: "I killed him, and this one is condemned. This innocent man is cut off with suffering, while I, the guilty one, enjoy my freedom. What then is the reason for this injustice? I don't know, unless it is the tolerance of God. The true God, the just judge, dismisses no crime. Therefore, to keep him from punishing me later more harshly, I will give myself up as guilty; and so, releasing them from the death that I brought about, I will atone for the sin. Therefore he threw himself into danger, saying: "It is me, me who did it; Send that man away." Now the judges, not a little astonished, released the other man from death and bound this man. And still uncertain about the sentence, they led this man before the king, along with the others who had been freed before, and reported the whole series of events to him, giving him pause as well. And so by common consent the king pardoned the men of each charge that had been laid against them, on the condition that they explain to him why they had imposed the punishment on themselves. But they set forth the truth to the king. Now by the common consent of everyone they were released, and the native man, who had determined to die in his his friend's place, led him into his house and, after every mark of esteem had been shown, said to him: "If you assent to remain with me, it is proper for us that everything will be common property; indeed, if you wish to return, let everything that is mine be divided equally." But he, entangled by fondness for his native land, accepted a portion of entire wealth that had been offered to him and so returned to his home.

The Curve object represents the parts of a path that are connected by two following Segment objects. The curves of a path can be accessed through its path.curves array.
While a segment describe the anchor point and its incoming and outgoing handles, a Curve object describes the curve passing between two such segments. Curves and segments represent two different ways of looking at the same thing, but focusing on different aspects. Curves for example offer many convenient ways to work with parts of the path, finding lengths, positions or tangents at given offsets.

Esse é um post de uma série que eu compartilhei internamente na ThoughtWorks uns anos atrás. Eu escrevi em inglês, então republico assim, mas se a série acabar sendo bem popular, eu prometo traduzir tudo.
User stories are a staple of agile business analysis. Each one represents a unit of work that should be developed. Since in most healthy projects all the work that is done should contribute to achieving a greater goal, the story must have some value (commonly called "business value") to whoever it will be implemented for. Stories are commonly used to represent units of work as they progress trough the the many steps of an agile development process.
In its most basic form a user story is a one line description of a task at hand written in a card, for instance:
Stories are frequently context sensitive, i.e.: a story depends on some shared knowledge. In the examples above, the reader don't know what is being reserved, how big is the questionnaire, or what its logging out of. In fact, these can have wildly different interpretations (and maybe not even be stories) depending on the particular situation. That is because stories, in essence are "promises to converse", according to Mike Cohn. This means that stories are not supposed to describe all that needs to be done, but only enough to set the stage for a conversation between people involved. They must "represent rather than document".
Ron Jeffries lists three critical aspects of a story with an easy-to-remember alliteration: Card, Conversation and Confirmation. The "card" purpose is to make sure that stories are short and can be moved around, so it is easy to bring it to a conversation and it can represent that unit of work across the project. The "conversation" aspect is that a story shouldn't be considered a complete document. Finally, by "confirmation" is about the fact that a story implies a set of success criteria. In most agile projects (or at least the ones that do TDD), it means that for any given story, a number of acceptance tests must be implemented to confirm that the resulting code does what it is supposed to do. Those acceptance criteria are usually recorded against a story so it is possible to relate application behavior with an underlying business value.


Teenagers Spent Almost Two Years Making Unicorn Gundam Out Of Cardboard
by Brian AshcraftHigh school students in Japan decided to bring the RX-O Unicorn Gundam to life.
The statue is for the school’s cultural arts festival. Twitter user Tosshii and some classmates worked together on the creation, which took about two years to finish.
Here is the front:

Boost Sorting Algorithm LibraryRationale |
Radix-based sorting allows the data to be divided up into more than 2 pieces per iteration, and for cache-friendly versions, it normally cuts the data up into around a thousand pieces per iteration. This allows many fewer iterations to be used to complete sorting the data, enabling performance superior to the Comparison-based sorting limit.
There a two primary types of radix-based sorting:
Most-significant-digit Radix sorting (MSD) divides the data recursively based upon the top-most unsorted bits. This approach is efficient for even distributions that divide nicely, and can be done in-place (limited additional memory used). There is substantial constant overhead for each iteration to deal with the splitting structure. The algorithms provided here use MSD Radix Sort for their radix-sorting portion. The main disadvantage of MSD Radix sorting is that when the data is cut up into small pieces, the overhead for additional recursive calls starts to dominate runtime, and this makes worst-case behavior substantially worse than .
By contrast, integer_sort, float_sort, and string_sort all check to see whether Radix-based or Comparison-based sorting have better worst-case runtime, and make the appropriate recursive call. Because Comparison-based sorting algorithms are efficient on small pieces, the tendency of MSD radix sorts to cut the problem up small is turned into an advantage by these hybrid sorts. It is hard to conceive of a common usage case where pure MSD Radix Sort would have any significant advantage over hybrid algorithms.
Least-significant-digit Radix sorting (LSD) sorts based upon the least-significant bits first. This requires a complete copy of the data being sorted, using substantial additional memory. The main advantage of LSD Radix Sort is that aside from some constant overhead and the memory allocation, it uses a fixed amount of time per element to sort, regardless of distribution or size of the list. This amount of time is proportional to the length of the radix. The other advantage of LSD Radix Sort is that it is a stable sorting algorithm, so elements with the same key will retain their original order.
One disadvantage is that LSD Radix Sort uses the same amount of time to sort "easy" sorting problems as "hard" sorting problems, and this time spent may end up being greater than an efficient algorithm such as introsort spends sorting "hard" problems on large data sets, depending on the length of the datatype, and relative speed of comparisons, memory allocation, and random accesses.
The other main disadvantage of LSD Radix Sort is its memory overhead. It's only faster for large data sets, but large data sets use significant memory, which LSD Radix Sort needs to duplicate. LSD Radix Sort doesn't make sense for items of variable length, such as strings; it could be implemented by starting at the end of the longest element, but would be extremely inefficient. All that said, there are places where LSD Radix Sort is the appropriate and fastest solution, so it would be appropriate to create a templated LSD Radix Sort similar to integer_sort and float_sort. This would be most appropriate in cases where comparisons are extremely slow.
The Spreadsort algorithm is designed to provide best possible worst-case performance, while still being cache-friendly. It provides the better of and worst-case time, where K is the log of the range. The log of the range is normally the length in bits of the data type; 32 for a 32-bit integer.
flash_sort (another hybrid algorithm), by comparison is O(N) for evenly distributed lists. The problem is, flash_sort is merely an MSD Radix Sort combined with O(N*N) insertion sort to deal with small subsets where the MSD Radix Sort is inefficient, so it is inefficient with chunks of data around the size at which it switches to insertion_sort, and ends up operating as an enhanced MSD Radix Sort. For uneven distributions this makes it especially inefficient.
integer_sort and float_sort use introsort instead, which provides performance for these medium-sized pieces. Also, flash_sort's O(N) performance for even distributions comes at the cost of cache misses, which on modern architectures are extremely expensive, and in testing on modern systems ends up being slower than cutting up the data in multiple, cache-friendly steps. Also worth noting is that on most modern computers, log(available RAM)/log(L1 cache size) is around 3, where a cache miss takes more than 3 times as long as an in-cache random-access, and the size of MAX_SPLITS is tuned to the size of the cache. On a computer where cache misses aren't this expensive, MAX_SPLITS could be increased to a large value, or eliminated entirely, and integer_sort/float_sort would have the same O(N) performance on even distributions.
Adaptive Left Radix (ALR) is similar to flash_sort, but more cache-friendly. It still uses insertion_sort. Because ALR uses O(N*N) insertion_sort, it isn't efficient to use the comparison-based fallback sort on large lists, and if the data is clustered in small chunks just over the fallback size with a few outliers, radix-based sorting iterates many times doing little sorting with high overhead. Asymptotically, ALR is still , but with a very small s (about 2 in the worst case), which compares unfavorably with the 11 default value of MAX_SPLITS for Spreadsort.
ALR also does not have the fallback, so for small lists that are not evenly distributed it is extremely inefficient. See the alrbreaker and binaryalrbreaker testcases for examples; either replace the call to spread_sort with a call to ALR and update the ALR_THRESHOLD at the top, or as a quick comparison make get_max_count return ALR_THRESHOLD (20 by default based upon the paper). These small tests take 4-10 times as long with ALR as std::sort in the author's testing, depending on the test system, because they are trying to sort a highly uneven distribution. Normal Spreadsort does much better with them, because get_max_count is designed around minimizing worst-case runtime.
burst_sort is an efficient hybrid algorithm for strings that uses substantial additional memory. string_sort uses minimal additional memory by comparison. Speed comparisons between the two haven't been made, but the better memory efficiency makes string_sort more general.
postal_sort and string_sort are similar. A direct performance comparison would be welcome, but an efficient version of postal_sort was not found in a search for source.
string_sort is most similar to the American Flag Sort algorithm. The main difference is that it doesn't bother trying to optimize how empty buckets/piles are handled, instead just checking to see if all characters at the current index are equal. Other differences are using std::sort as the fallback algorithm, and a larger fallback size (256 vs. 16), which makes empty pile handling less important.
Another difference is not applying the stack-size restriction. Because of the equality check in string_sort, it would take m*m memory worth of strings to force string_sort to create a stack of depth m. This problem isn't a realistic one on modern systems with multi-megabyte stacksize limits, where main memory would be exhausted holding the long strings necessary to exceed the stacksize limit. string_sort can be thought of as modernizing American Flag Sort to take advantage of introsort as a fallback algorithm. In the author's testing, American Flag Sort (on std::strings) had comparable runtime to introsort, but making a hybrid of the two allows reduced overhead and substantially superior performance.
Making a Radix Sort stable requires the usage of an external copy of the data. A stable hybrid algorithm also requires a stable comparison-based algorithm, and these are generally slow. LSD Radix Sort uses an external copy of the data, and provides stability, along with likely being faster (than a stable hybrid sort), so that's probably a better way to go for integers and floats. It might make sense to make a stable version of string_sort using external memory, but for simplicity this has been left out for now.
Though the ideal MAX_SPLITS for n < 1 million (or so) on x86 seems to be substantially larger, enabling a roughly 15% speedup for such tests, this optimization isn't general, and doesn't apply for n > 1 million. A too large MAX_SPLITS can cause spread_sort to take more than twice as long, so it should be set on the low end of the reasonable range, where it is right now.
The ideal way to optimize the constants would be to have a carefully tuned lookup table instead of the get_max_count function, but 4 tuning variables is simpler, get_max_count enforces worst-case performance minimization rules, and such a lookup table would be difficult to optimize for cross-platform performance.
Alternatively, get_max_count could be used to generate a static lookup table. This hasn't been done due to concerns about cross-platform compatibility and flexibility.

Uganda Martyrs VC raps govt on environmental degradation
by Samuel MuhindoThe vice-chancellor of Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) Prof John Chrysostom Maviiri has decried the high levels of environmental degradation taking place under the blind watch of the government.
Maviiri made the remarks while presiding over the university’s 25th graduation ceremony that was held at UMU's main campus in Nkozi Mpigi district.
“Am distressed by the fact that the government is not acting enough to put away the polythene which is destroying our environment: the law is in place but the implementation is not forthcoming,” said Maviiri.
Maviiri congratulated and awarded Mbitha Shimba as the youngest ever bachelor’s degree graduate from the university at the age of just 20. He also congratulated The Observer cartoonist Dr Jimmy Spire Ssentongo who was recently promoted by the university’s governing council to the rank of associate professor.
The bishop of Kiyinda-Mityana diocese, Joseph Anthony Zziwa who also doubles as the chancellor of UMU also vehemently condemned the people invading forests and swamps saying that it was just a recipe for disaster. “...environmental degradation is a major challenge and a sin against nature...” Bishop Zziwa said.
Bishop Zziwa also reminded the fresh graduates to use the acquired knowledge to fight for the rights of the voiceless and underprivileged at all times citing the unchecked rise in social evils such as child labour and human trafficking.
He said, “...individualism is taking root in Uganda. It threatens roots of our culture which advocates for unity...”
He added that graduates should not despise any kind of jobs because they come from Nkozi saying that Uganda does not need graduates that can articulate archaic theories but rather those that have the ability to create their own jobs.
This was premised on the fact that Uganda’s economy cannot currently absorb all the graduates from public and other degree-awarding institutions in the job market.
“You are going out as ambassadors to make a difference in the society," added Zziwa.
This year’s graduation was graced by the Papal Nuncio to Uganda His Excellency Luigi Bianco. Over 2300 graduates from different disciplines at postgraduate and undergraduate levels were sent to the job market.

Here is a sliding menu system that works via Duplicate Movie Clip.
When you start, you set up the names of the menus you want. (Look at the variables in Frame 1). You can add as many as you want and it will work. THEN, you name the first frame in a new scene after the menu item. (Look at frame 1 of each scene). When you click on these buttons, Flash takes the name of the menu and performs a GOTO FRAME (Named after the button).
There are a lot of comments in here to explain any of the tricky parts. Basically, if you understand duplicate movie clip, the naming of variables (text boxes) and referring to objects outside their own timelines.... this shouldn't be too too difficult to grasp. There's a little algebra involved in duplicating the movie clips horizontally.
There are a few catches to this menu system.
1) At any given time you can see a certain amount of menus on the screen. Say that you can see 5. The way this system works is Flash duplicates TWICE as many movie clips as there are menus and puts them to the right. While it scrolls left, this is a good thing. Then when you scroll things to the right, those disappear and Flash duplicates another set to the left. NOW.... what if you only have 2 menu items? Things will look kind of silly won't they? So don't do that! (You can try this by setting the variable "tmi" (total menu items) in Frame 1 to "2" and see what I mean.)
2) It seems to work kind of slow in some browsers?(uncertain of this). I originally created this to be used as part of a much larger interface on a CD-ROM. When you set the frame rate to 120FPS in Flash, you get much smoother scrolling than if you leave the Frame Rate at ... say ... 24. Try it. Off a CD-ROM it works perfectly.
3) The whole thing is fairly tidy but certainly on optimized in terms of using the least amont of code or items to do this. That's because This was my first Flash project and I'm no programmer. Hey, this took me a couple of solid weeks to get it to work right the first time! If it's messy from a programming point of view that's why.


Registering Cleanup Code¶
This document describes how to go about registering callbacks to perform cleanup tasks at the end of a request and when an application process is being shutdown.
Cleanup At End Of Request¶
To perform a cleanup task at the end of a request a couple of different approaches can be used dependent on the requirements. The first approach entails wrapping the calling of a WSGI application within a Python ‘try’ block, with the cleanup code being triggered from the ‘finally’ block:
def _application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = b'Hello World!'
response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)
return [output]
def application(environ, start_response):
try:
return _application(environ, start_response)
finally:
# Perform required cleanup task.
...
This might even be factored into a convenient WSGI middleware component:
class ExecuteOnCompletion1:
def __init__(self, application, callback):
self.__application = application
self.__callback = callback
def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
try:
return self.__application(environ, start_response)
finally:
self.__callback(environ)
The WSGI environment passed in the ‘environ’ argument to the application could even be supplied to the cleanup callback as shown in case it needed to look at any configuration information or information passed back in the environment from the application.
The application would then be replaced with an instance of this class initialised with a reference to the original application and a suitable cleanup function:
def cleanup(environ):
# Perform required cleanup task.
...
application = ExecuteOnCompletion1(_application, cleanup)
Using this approach, the cleanup function will actually be called prior to the response content being consumed by mod_wsgi and written back to the client. As such, it is probably only suitable where a complete response is returned as an array of strings. It would not be suitable where a generator is being returned as the cleanup would be called prior to any strings being consumed from the generator. This would be problematic where the cleanup task was to close or delete some resource from which the generator was obtaining the response content.
In order to have the cleanup task only executed after the complete response has been consumed, it would be necessary to wrap the result of the application within an instance of a purpose built generator like object. This object needs to yield each item from the response in turn, and when this object is cleaned up by virtue of the ‘close()’ method being called, it should in turn call ‘close()’ on the result returned from the application if necessary, and then call the supplied cleanup callback:
class Generator2:
def __init__(self, iterable, callback, environ):
self.__iterable = iterable
self.__callback = callback
self.__environ = environ
def __iter__(self):
for item in self.__iterable:
yield item
def close(self):
try:
if hasattr(self.__iterable, 'close'):
self.__iterable.close()
finally:
self.__callback(self.__environ)
class ExecuteOnCompletion2:
def __init__(self, application, callback):
self.__application = application
self.__callback = callback
def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
try:
result = self.__application(environ, start_response)
except:
self.__callback(environ)
raise
return Generator2(result, self.__callback, environ)
Note that for a successfully completed request, since the cleanup task will be executed after the complete response has been written back to the client, if an error occurs there will be no evidence of this in the response seen by the client. As far as the client will be concerned everything will look okay. The only indication of an error will be found in the Apache error log.
Both of the solutions above are not specific to mod_wsgi and should work with any WSGI hosting solution which complies with the WSGI specification.
Cleanup On Process Shutdown¶
To perform a cleanup task on shutdown of either an Apache child process when using ‘embedded’ mode of mod_wsgi, or of a daemon process when using ‘daemon’ mode of mod_wsgi, the standard Python ‘atexit’ module can be used:
import atexit
def cleanup():
# Perform required cleanup task.
...
atexit.register(cleanup)
Such a registered cleanup function will also be called if the ‘Interpreter’ reload mechanism is enabled and the Python sub interpreter in which the cleanup function was registered was destroyed.
Note that although mod_wsgi will ensure that cleanup functions registered using the ‘atexit’ module will be called correctly, this solution may not be portable to all WSGI hosting solutions.
Also be aware that although one can register a cleanup function to be called on process shutdown, this is no absolute guarantee that it will be called. This is because a process may crash, or it may be forcibly killed off by Apache if it takes too long to shutdown normally. As a result, an application should not be dependent on cleanup functions being called on process shutdown and an application must have some means of detecting an abnormal shutdown when it is started up and recover from it automatically.

FAQ
There are 3 challenge types: RiseApp Challenges, Community Challenges (Buckets) and Sponsored Challenges.
RiseApp Challenges
Every day, RiseApp challenges its community with a new topic. It is usually something related to the meaning of the day. (e.g. Surprise Your Mother on mothers day.)
Community Challenges (Bucket)
RiseApp Community can also decide what the next day's challenge is going to be. Everyone can vote for the ideas in the “Bucket” but only the users with enough badges can submit their ideas for voting.
Sponsored Challenges
One of three daily challenges is booked for Sponsored Partners. Partners can launch their ad campaigns as a challenge and encourage people with giveaways to make a video to spread their ad campaigns.
Each and every challenge is active for 24 hours for submitting, 48 hours for voting.
Users can:
- Submit for today's challenge
- Vote for today's challenge
- Vote for yesterdays challenge

For named entity recognition in SpaCy, the knowledge base is the thing to which entities in a specific text are linked. SpaCy assumes a format
#QID,identifier,description
"Q312545","Roy Stanley Emerson","Australian tennis player"
"Q48226","Ralph Waldo Emerson","American philosopher, essayist, and poet"
"Q215952","Emerson Ferreira da Rosa","Brazilian footballer"
Let $\textrm{proj}_s{w} $ denote the embedding (projection) of a word $w$ into space $s$.
Let $t$ denote a token and denote the tokens that describe an entity, $ e_i \in \left\{e\right\}$ by $ \left\{t\right\}^\left\{e_i\right\}$.
SpaCy will suggest that entities $\left\{e_i\right\}$ should be linked with $w$ if $|\textrm{proj}_s{w} - \bar{\textrm{proj}_s{t_i}}| < \epsilon $.
The bar denotes the average. The summation is implied over all $\left\{t_j\right\}$
As the mathermatical formulation the performance of the ner
module hinges on
The word descriptions is ambiguous. For SpaCy, it means synyonyms and context in the form of associated tokens. It does not mean anything approaching a definition, concordance, or etymology of that term.
Our entry for DNP might be thus
#tab-separated values
#id alias description
n DNP DNP, 2,4-dinitrophenol, weight loss agent, uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, phenolic, fat burner, fatburner ...
n 2,4-DNP ditto
n 2,4-dinitrophenol ditto
Each alias for an entity contains the same description. Each description begins with an enumeration of all aliases and then provides synonyms and closely related words.
We assemble our preliminary list by creating a tsv file with two columns an index, and all the sign and symptoms from our curated data sets.
ENTITIES=./data/kb/dnp.entities.draft.tsv
touch ${ENTITIES}
for file in ./data/bb.corpus.deduplicated.cleaned.reconciled.ner.*.jsonl
do
echo $file
jq -r '.spans[].text | select( . != null)' $file >> ${ENTITIES}
done
