Money Play. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=11 White=8
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
This is a double – just. The point is that White doesn’t have a redouble after any roll by Red so Red should double now to increase his equity. Trivial take of course.
If Red owned the cube it would be a different matter. Then he should hold on to it and hope to give a maximally efficient redouble next turn. Holding on to the cube gives him additional chances in those variations where things go badly on the first roll.

Consider the problem of generating random numbers that are distributed according to some kind of non-uniform distribution function. There are two methods of generating non-uniformly distributed random numbers satisfying a given distribution function, namely, the transformation method and the rejection method[4]. Let us examine these two methods in turn.
Suppose there are two random variables y and x that are related to each other by y = f(x). If the probability density of x, Px(x), is known, how do we calculate the probability of the random variable y? Using the probability conservation, i.e,
|
| (135) |
we obtain
|
| (136) |
which gives the relation between Py(y) and P(x). Next, consider the inverse problem of the above, i.e., if we want to generate non-uniform distribute random numbers y with probability density being Py(y) from a uniformly distributed random variables x, how do we choose the function f(x)? In this case, P(x) = 1 and Eq. (136) is written
|
| (137) |
which can be solved to give f(x). For a general function Py(y), Eq. (137) can not be solved analytically. For the special case Py(y) = e−y (Poisson distribution), we ﬁnd that f(x) = −lnx solves Eq. (137). Therefore, we can generate Poisson distribution by the following Fortran codes:
Suppose that we want to generate non-uniformly distributed random numbers between xmin and xmax that satisfy a given probability density P(x). To achieve this, we ﬁrst generate a uniform random number xt between xmin and xmax. Then we generate another uniform random number y between 0 and Pmax, where Pmax are the maximal values of P(x) for x ∈ [xmin,xmax]. If P(xt) > y then, xt is kept as a desired random number, otherwise xt is discarded. Repeat this process, then all the random numbers kept will satisfy the probability density P(x) (need thinking why, to be proved). This method is called the rejection method. It is obvious how the rejection method generalizes to multiple-dimensional cases.
The one-dimensional Gaussian distribution is given by
|
| (138) |
Figure 14 compares the possibility density of the 106 numbers generated by the numerical code with that of the analytic form in Eq. (138), which indicates that the numerical result agrees well with the analytic one.
Figure 15 is a plot of xj verse xj+1 for j = 1,2,…,104, which shows how the points (xj,xj+1) are distributed in the two-dimension plane.


Malaika Arora is on a date night, but it’s not with Arjun Kapoor!
by TIMESOFINDIA.COMMalaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor have been rocking the headlines for their relationship. The duo even enjoyed a short vacation in New York and often gets snapped together in the city on various occasions.
And today, the diva went on a date night in the city but not with her beau Arjun. The 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' girl and her sister Amrita Arora enjoyed a dinner together post attending an event in Mumbai. For the night, Malaika opted for a crop top with a matching jacket and pants and she looked amazing in it! While Amrita decided to go for a white top and shimmery jacket on it paired with black pants.
Malaika posted a picture from the night on her Instagram. She captioned the post, "Date night @amuaroraofficial".
Check out her posts here:
Meanwhile, on the work front, in a recent interview, the actress revealed that she has plans to venture into production soon.
She last featured in a song of Vishal Bhardwaj's film 'Pataakha'.

Data Type: GIS Data Layer
Steward(s): AGRC
Abstract:
Many Utah trails and trail access points have been obtained through the efforts of The Utah Office of Tourism and GOED from Orbital View, Inc. The acquired data is crowd-sourced and curated and is currently far from comprehensive, but it does contain over 20,000 miles of trails and 550 trail access points. AGRC has taken this trail data and integrated trails from the U.S. Forest Service and other entities, we have included many Community features associated with Community Parks and neighborhoods that provide opportunities for Active Transportation.
The trails dataset currently contains trail names, types, and some information on allowable modes of travel. Although it is very much ‘draft’ in nature, this dataset represents a starting point to integrate additional trail systems from other local, state, and federal agencies. The success of this effort will rely heavily on local government and land stewards to review and continue to improve upon this data.

Thread pool
Concept Description
Thread pool is for executing synchronization business logic.
net send/receive or reactive business logic executing in eventloop, is independent of the thread pool
By default all synchronization methods are executed in a global built-in thread pool
If the business has special requirements, you can specify to use a custom global thread pool, and you can use separate thread pools according to the schemaId or operationId to achieve the effect of the isolated bin.
Customize thread pool
- Implementing a thread pool
Choose one of the following methods. - Implement the
java.util.concurrent.Executor
interface
In order to support elegant exit, if the internal thread is not set to the daemon thread, you also need to implement thejava.io.Closeable
interface, responsible for destroying the thread pool. - Implement the
java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService
interface - Declare the thread pool of the implementation as a spring bean
- Enable thread pool
Suppose the new thread pool spring bean id is custom-executor - Replace the global thread pool
servicecomb.executors.default: custom-executor - Specify a thread pool dedicated to the schema
servicecomb.executors.Provider.${schemaId}: custom-executor - Specify a thread pool dedicated to the operation
servicecomb.executors.Provider.${schemaId}.${operationId}: custom-executor
ServiceComb built-in thread pool
In a general thread pool, all threads share a task queue. In this case, all network threads need to apply for the same queue to join the queue. All threads in the thread pool need to grab the task from the same queue. Throughput scenarios, which can lead to competitive conflicts and create performance bottlenecks
Therefore, in order to improve performance, ServiceComb's built-in thread pool is actually a wrapper of real thread pools, allowing multiple sets of thread pools to be configured inside, and each network thread is bound to a set of thread pools to reduce contention conflicts.

Status: Passed, as amended, Jun89 X3J13Issue: UNDEFINED-VARIABLES-AND-FUNCTIONS
References: 5.1.2 Variables (CLtL pp55-56),
Slots (88-002R, p1-10)
Category: CHANGE
Edit history: 29-Nov-88, Version 1 by Pitman
3-Jul-89, Version 2 by Masinter (as per Jun89X3J13)
Problem Description:
CLtL does not specify what happens if you attempt to call a named function
which is in fact undefined. In most implementations, it would be devastating to
actually jump to code which you had not verified to be a function, so this error
should be easily caught -- yet, CLtL does not guarantee that an error will be
signalled even in the safest, least fast OPTIMIZE settings.
CLtL (p56) specifies that "it is an error to refer to a variable that is unbound."
CLOS (p1-10) specifies that "when an unbound slot is read, the generic function
SLOT-UNBOUND is invoked. The system-supplied primary method for SLOT-UNBOUND
signals an error."
CLOS and CLtL are not in agreement on their treatment of unbound variables.
CLtL is very weak in that it guarantees no support for reliably detecting
and signalling an error when the error situation occurs, even in the safest,
least fast OPTIMIZE setting.
CLOS is very strong in that it forces detection of the error in all
situations -- even in the fastest, least safe OPTIMIZE setting.
The disparate positions for treatment of variables and slots should be
reconciled, either by finding a compromise or by justifying the apparent
inconsistency. The final story should explain function references as well.
Proposal (UNDEFINED-VARIABLES-AND-FUNCTIONS:COMPROMISE):
Define that reading an undefined function or an unbound variable
must be detected in the highest safety setting,
but the effect is undefined in any other safety setting. That is,
- Reading an undefined function should signal an error.
- Reading an an unbound variable should signal an error.
By ``reading an undefined function'' in the above, we mean to
include both references to the function using the FUNCTION
special form, such as F in (FUNCTION F) and references to the
function in a call, such as F in (F X).
For the case of INLINE functions (in implementations where they are
supported), it is permissible to consider that performing the inlining
constitutes the read, so that an FBOUNDP check need not be done at
execution time. Put another way, the effect of FMAKUNBOUND of a function
on potentially inlined references to that function is undefined.
Specify that the type of error signalled when an undefined function
is detected is UNDEFINED-FUNCTION, and that the NAME slot of the
UNDEFINED-FUNCTION condition is initialized to the name of the
offending function.
Specify that the type of error signalled when a unbound variable
is detected is UNBOUND-VARIABLE, and that the NAME slot of the
UNBOUND-VARIABLE condition is initialized to the name of the
offending variable.
Introduce a new condition type, UNBOUND-SLOT, which inherits from
CELL-ERROR. This new type has an additional slot, INSTANCE, which
can be initialized using the :INSTANCE keyword to MAKE-CONDITION.
Introdue a new function UNBOUND-SLOT-INSTANCE to access INSTANCE slot.
Specify that the type of error signalled by the default primary
method for the SLOT-UNBOUND generic function is UNBOUND-SLOT,
and that the NAME slot of the UNBOUND-SLOT condition is initialized
to the name of the offending variable, and that the INSTANCE slot
of the UNBOUND-SLOT condition is initialized to the offending instance.
Test Case:
(PROCLAIM '(OPTIMIZE (SAFETY 3) (SPEED 0)))
(DEFUN FOO () X)
(FOO)
>>Error: The variable X is not bound.
...
Rationale:
This makes it easier to treat slots like variables.
This makes it possible to better rely on an unbound variable error being
signalled when one has occurred.
This makes it possible to compile out useless error checking in CLOS
code where the code is debugged and the checking is redundant.
For the case of undefined functions, blindly jumping to an undefined
function is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. Every implementation
should guarantee at least some way to get error checking of undefined
functions.
Current Practice:
Until recently, Symbolics Cloe did not ever signal an error on unbound
variable, even in the safest case. The excuse was that this was a CLtL
didn't require it, but it was sometimes an impediment to debugging.
Some benchmarks for Symbolics Cloe (which currently only claims to
implement New Flavors, not CLOS) could be faster if checking for unbound
instance variables could be optimized away.
Symbolics Genera doesn't care about safety issues in variable access
because the check can be done by microcode.
Cost to Implementors:
This change does not force a change to any current implementation, except
those which do not yet signal unbound variable or undefined function errors
even in the safest setting.
Cost to Users:
This checking might slow down some code which is written for the safest
setting yet does not need this check.
Any implementation-specific code which depended on these references not
signalling would be broken. Such code was not portable, of course.
Any CLOS code which depends on SLOT-UNBOUND being called even in low safety
settings would be broken. The amount of such code at this point is likely
to be little or none. If such cases did exist, local or global changes to
safety settings would correct the problem (at some cost in speed).
Cost of Non-Adoption:
Some important error checking would not occur.
Some important optimizations could not be done.
The language would seem internally less consistent.
Benefits:
The costs of non-adoption would be avoided.
Aesthetics:
This would regularize things a little.
Discussion:
Pitman thinks this would be a good idea.

The main idea behind Search Inside Yourself is that mindfulness and self awareness are essentially the same thing. They are both about paying attention in a particular calm, and 'objective' way to your body and surroundings. If you are great at mindfulness you will be able to look at your own strengths, weaknesses and emotions without judgement, and hopefully get a more accurate picture of yourself than if you were blinded by distractions or feelings.
I gave journalling a go this week. I already keep an art journal, but that takes a bit more time and energy than I have at the moment, because I'm not a great artist. My mum is a psychologist and she's been telling me to do more journalling for ages cos it's great for anxiety. She has a technique that's not in Search Inside Yourself, but I like because it's creative.
Basically you start the morning by making a list of ten things. You can choose anything you like, the only rules are that it's not a to do list, you do it first thing in the morning, and it's a list that makes you think, without being too difficult. For example, don't make a list of ten colors if you find it really easy, but you could make a list of ten colors in another language if that is more difficult for you. Basically the idea is to make your brain hum. I thought this was a bit dumb when I first heard it, what's the point of making random lists?  I'm going to give this a try this week.
I also tried journalling about my strengths and weaknesses and I think it went pretty well. I think I'm good at analytical thinking, creative problem solving, pushing myself and empathy/listening for people I care about. I'm not so good at working in big groups of people because I'm really shy. I also become uninspired by boring problems which leads me to get caught up in more exciting ideas and not execute anything (basically talking the talk without walking the walk), or go down rabbit holes that are irrelevant to the big picture.
The 'My Emotions Are Not Me' section was interesting, but I've thought about this idea a bit before so it didn't blow my mind. I did like the metaphor that emotions and thoughts are like clouds and you are like the sky. I'll try to remember this next time I'm frustrated!


Frontier Airlines glitch email panics holiday travelers
by Aimee PicchiSome Thanksgiving travelers received an alarming email on Thursday from low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines warning them that their flight had been changed or canceled. It was a mistake.
Late Thursday, Frontier said the email was sent "in error" and apologized. Consumers complained about the confusing email on Twitter, with some saying they couldn't get through to Frontier's customer service.
"I received an email saying flight was changed to call<PHONE_NUMBER>, I can't through just busy signal," one traveler wrote on Twitter. "When I look in the frontier app flight has not changed? Can someone help me."
Frontier on Friday advised passengers tp check their trips by entering their confirmation numbers on its website.
Thanksgiving is among the busiest travel periods of the year. Next week, about 4.5 million Americans will fly to visit family and friends, up almost 5% from a year ago, according to AAA.
Consumers weren't impressed with Frontier's handling of the glitch. Others noted that it took hours for Frontier to respond to questions about the wayward email.
Frontier is among the lowest-rated airlines by Consumer Reports, which based its analysis on 55,000 responses from its subscribers.

Red Dead Redemption 2 On Lowest Settings Looks Like It Came From The Early 90s
by Luke PlunkettAlone in the Dark, is that you?
LowSpecGamer has done wonders with Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 now that it’s out on PC, going beyond simply sliding every visual option in the game to “lowest” to tinker with the game’s settings and messing with the way it loads its models.
The results are a game that looks like the best-looking PC release of 1992

Utah parcel data contains GIS mapping data representing parcel boundaries. UGRC has parcel data for all 29 Utah counties. Some
counties are more complete than others. In addition to the polygon geometry various attributes are provided. Users should be aware the owner
type field OWN_TYPE
in the Basic Parcel polygons is a very generalized ownership type (Federal, Private, State,
Tribal) and is populated with the value of the OWNER
field where the parcel's centroid intersects the Land Ownership polygon layer.

While addresses are provided with the parcel boundaries the authoritative dataset for addresses from UGRC is the Address Points layer.
Parcels_{County name} are datasets for cartography and approximate boundary identification.
In 2005, HB113 was passed requiring the UGRC Cadastral Surveyor to work with local government to create a parcel database for the State.
63F-1-506.(3) (c) coordinate with county recorders and surveyors to create a statewide parcel layer in the State Geographic Information Database (SGID) containing parcel boundary, parcel identifier, parcel address, owner type, and county recorder contact information.
The SGID contains county parcel data for each of the 29 counties in Utah and is updated as new data is provided from the data steward in each county. A statewide parcel dataset is available from AGOL and UGRC Open Data site in addition to vector tiles with labels and without labels.
Parcel polygons contain attributes unique to each parcel such as a unique parcel number (PARCEL_ID
),
address for the parcel (PARCEL_ADD
, PARCEL_CITY
, PARCEL_ZIP
), update
information (ParcelsCur
, ParcelsRec
, ParcelsPub
, ParcelYear
,
ParcelNotes
), a generalized land ownership designation (OWN_TYPE
), and the phone number
for the county recorders office (RECORDER
).
This data when possible is updated twice a year with the newest data available from the counties. Some counties along the Wasatch Front are updated monthly when possible.
There are no constraints or warranties with regard to the use of this dataset. Users are encouraged to attribute content to: State of Utah, SGID.

Parcels_{County name}_LIR are datasets for cartography and approximate boundary identification.
The Land Information Record Parcels (LIR) contain GIS mapping data representing parcel boundaries and county tax roll attributes. UGRC has Land Information Record Parcels for some of the counties in Utah. Since each County has its own database and process for maintaining tax year assessment information, users should expect some variability in each County's LIR dataset.
In addition to the polygon geometry the attributes COUNTY_NAME

The Land Information Records (LIR) work group organized by the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget has facilitated a voluntary sharing of tax roll parcel data from County Assessors to support public safety, economic development, transportation, planning and the provisions of public services. In May of 2016, the Land Information Records work group released its recommendations for sharing an enhanced set of tax parcel GIS data. A draft of the tax year parcel GIS data schema is available.
Tax year parcel GIS data will be updated annually with the finalized year-end tax assessment data that is completed by May 22nd each year then submitted to the Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) for loading into the SGID each year in July.
There are no constraints or warranties with regard to the use of this dataset. Users are encouraged to attribute content to: State of Utah, SGID.

Problem solving
Getting blocked on a simple problem
While doing the Kata on JS Olympics, I got blocked in the function to unjumble the words. I used the split built-in method to break down the incoming string. But I broke it down to an array of words using str.split(' '). I then had to loop over each word in the array and reverse them individually. I frequently used console logging to understand what was happening to my arrays and strings. I felt slightly frustrated at spending too much time on this task. Finally, I managed to produce a working function.
Later, when I finished the whole exercise and reviewed the sample solutions, I found that I could have easily used str.split('') (without space between the quotes) to break down the string into an array of individual characters. I learnt from this experience to be mindful when reading the documentation.
Solving a problem in an elegant way
I believe I solved the super_fizzbuzz challenge elegantly because I systematically thought through the problem and produced a straightforward solution. On comparing it with the sample solution, I knew I had devised the same strategy and the code was clean.
Pseudocode, rubber ducky method
I tend to mentally plan at least half the solution before I get started, which I think equates to thinking in pseudocode. I also often have a conversation with myself if I get stuck. I ask, "ok, so what did we do?". The voice asking the question is my present self and it is aimed at my past self, who can be considered as the rubber ducky. The two of us can work together to solve the problem. (Haha, now you know I love the time travel theme!)
Reading error messages, console logging, googling
I am an avid user of console logging to understand how my variables are being modified. I used it even before I come across an error. I believe coding in this "debug" mode keeps me in control. When I come across an error, I often google it up if I can't understand it. In all other cases, I check MDN first, or google away to find information. I have also found the sample tests in W3Schools useful to understand how functions behave by modifying them and seeing the results.
Asking for help
I have reached out for help to my facilitator to clarify my understanding of some concepts. I have also engaged with my colleagues through Slack to share resources I found helpful and to clarify a concept one of them commented on.
Improving your process with reflection
Having explored the principles of mindfulness, emotional intelligence and growth mindset, I find that I am making a conscious effort to reflect on my process of problem solving. This is in addition to inherently learning from my coding mistakes or through research on various topics conducted during the sprints.


This was my submission for an Uplabs weekly design challenge,
where the prompt was to redesign IKEA's shopping app. I worked
on this as a solo project over the span of 2 weeks.
IKEA is one of the most popular home furnishing brands globally
with its variety of Scandinavian designs to suit a range of
living aesthetics with affordability. They have a wide catalog
of products on both their website and app — which many shop and
order directly from. However, there are some features that could
be improved or added to create an even better shopping
experience.
Role: Research, Product Design, Prototyping
Tools: Figma
Timeframe: November 2022
My first step into taking on this challenge was downloading the app, using it myself, and taking notes of my impressions and pain points.
Afterwards, I looked into the app's reviews in the Google Play Store and took note of some of the most common pain points users have mentioned.
From my research, it seems like the biggest pain point to resolve is the issue of conflicting item availability information between in-store stock and online.
Since 2020, IKEA has been going through supply chain shortages and limited stock of some of their items. This leads to frustration and confusion from many customers who are seeking to purchase certain items on their website or app only to see it be unavailable indefinitely, despite still being listed online.
As this was meant to be a quick challenge with a deadline, I mostly focused on solving the main pain points I observed while using the app and several improvements to the overall design.
I identified three areas for improvement:
I researched other commerce apps (Amazon, Target) and looked at inspiration from related ideas on Dribbble and the Figma community, plus some past submissions for similar prompts on Uplabs. Afterwards, I drew up some initial sketches before moving over to Figma to create a set of wireframes.
View today's featured products in a full-screen, interactive landing page, and browse for inspiration.
Quickly find the product you're looking for by browsing by categories.
View essential product information at a glance to help you make your decision.
Use your phone's camera when you're shopping in-store to easily save products as you come across them.
View the products in your shopping cart and checkout.
One of the biggest things I've learned was how to connect and integrate online and physical shopping elements. As most of IKEA's revenue comes from in-store shopping, there could be more digital integration with walking around the showroom to the warehouse for example. I find that most shoppers, including myself, will take photos of tags for products I am interested in to save for later. However, this means these photos will be saved on my phone's storage and possibly forgotten, whereas the IKEA app can easily scan the product I want and save to a list for viewing later, view all color options, or directly add to my cart. Not only does this make for a more organized and streamlined shopping experience for customers, this could also lead to increased sales and conversion rates for IKEA.
One small thing that I learned in this project was how to design based off of an existing design system - in other words, according to the challenge's prompt: “keeping their sleek and Scandinavian approach in mind”. I had learned to do this in my previous internships, however this time I did not have the official components on hand. Thankfully, IKEA's design system is very straightforward with its blue and yellow color scheme and single font, Noto Sans.
As this was a short project, I only focused on a few areas I saw immediately that could use improvement. If given more time, I would create the “Scan tag camera” screen and connect it to the “Add to list/Favorites” screens.
Another interaction I would consider is if a user wanted to add an out of stock item from the product page. Based on current interactions in the app, IKEA allows users to add out-of-stock items to their cart, but leads to later frustration when they find out they can't purchase it during checkout. I would add a feature that notifies users that the item is out of stock, and gives them an option to notify them again when it's back in-stock.
I noted that one user in a review mentioned that they had a hard time shopping at IKEA because of the Swedish naming system. I felt that it is its own challenge that can be explored well on its own that a short-term project tackling various features would not be able to accomplish fully. Hence why I added names of the products below in the search history section in the Explore page – it may help jog some memory for users. This is also why I added examples of search queries on the search bar rather than their original “what are you looking for?”, which I found rather vague.
Overall, I thought this was a fun short challenge for me to study an existing brand and do research on how I can make their app even better for their customers. This is the first project where I take a real existing brand's app (and one I use personally) to find ways to improve the experience.

Generate disassembly of .NET functions
In this post you will learn how to generate the disassembly of .NET functions and how to diff many of them.
It was not so long ago when I added a new feature to BenchmarkDotNet that allows you to generate a diff raport for many dissassembly of .NET function. You can see all the changes in following PRs: #927, #937 and #1022.
In this post I will be using the benchmark code from PR dotnet/coreclr#13626 to CoreCLR repo. In metioned PR @mikedn enables JIT to generate more efficient BT instruction in some situations. It is great example to show my exporter in action.
Generate disassembly
In BenchmarkDotNet you can easily generate disassembler for .NET function. All you need is add [DisassemblyDiagnoser]
attribute to your benchmark, like below:
[DisassemblyDiagnoser]
public class IntroDisassembly
{
[Benchmark(OperationsPerInvoke = 10_000_000)]
public int LoweringTESTtoBT()
{
int y = 0, x = 0;
while (x++ < 10_000_000)
if ((x & (1 << y)) == 0)
y++;
return y;
}
}
You can also do this with the -d
or --disasm
command line arguments.
Running this benchmark will create lot of reports in directoryBenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results
. Among them is ProjectName.IntroDisassembly-asm.pretty.md
that looks like:
.NET Core 2.1.6 (CoreCLR 4.6.27019.06, CoreFX 4.6.27019.05), 64bit RyuJIT
; BenchmarkDotNet.Samples.IntroDisassemblyCode.LoweringTESTtoBT()
xor eax,eax
xor edx,edx
jmp M00_L01
M00_L00:
bt ecx,eax
mov edx,ecx
jb M00_L01
inc eax
M00_L01:
lea ecx,[rdx+1]
cmp edx,989680h
jl M00_L00
ret
; Total bytes of code 27
You can use this feature to understand why one solution is better then other or you can learn about how C# code which you wrote works on your computer.
Nothing new so far ;)
Generates diff of two disassembly
Sometimes your code works fast on newer version of .NET Core and works slow on the older one. That is quite common case, because .NET Core is improving very fast. In other case you probably would see performance regression and create issue to CoreCLR repo.
If you want to generate disassembly of function for multiple .NET versions, just configure your test, e. g.:
[Config(typeof(MultipleJits))]
public class IntroDisassembly
{
[Benchmark(OperationsPerInvoke = 10_000_000)]
public int LoweringTESTtoBT()
{
int y = 0, x = 0;
while (x++ < 10_000_000)
if ((x & (1 << y)) == 0)
y++;
return y;
}
}
public class MultipleJits : ManualConfig
{
public MultipleJits()
{
// .NET core 2.0
Add(Job.ShortRun.With(Platform.X64).With(CsProjCoreToolchain.NetCoreApp20));
// .NET core 2.1
Add(Job.ShortRun.With(Platform.X64).With(CsProjCoreToolchain.NetCoreApp21));
// Add disassembly diagnoser with printDiff = true
Add(DisassemblyDiagnoser.Create(new DisassemblyDiagnoserConfig(printAsm: true, printPrologAndEpilog: false, recursiveDepth: 3, printDiff: true)));
}
}
In this example I added two jobs. One for .NET Core 2.0 and other for .NET Core 2.1. I added also DisassemblyDiagnoser
with printDiff
option set to true
.
After benchmark run, you can see that @mikedn’s optimization made this code much faster on .NET Core 2.1:
Method | Toolchain | Mean | Error | StdDev |
----------------- |-------------- |----------:|----------:|----------:|
LoweringTESTtoBT | .NET Core 2.0 | 2.3164 ns | 0.8837 ns | 0.0484 ns |
LoweringTESTtoBT | .NET Core 2.1 | 0.6531 ns | 0.2882 ns | 0.0158 ns |
In directory BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results
you will see also ProjectName.IntroDisassembly-asm.pretty.diff.md
that looks:
BenchmarkDotNet.Samples.IntroDisassemblyCode Diff for LoweringTESTtoBT method between: .NET Core 2.0.9 (CoreCLR 4.6.26614.01, CoreFX 4.6.26614.01), 64bit RyuJIT .NET Core 2.1.6 (CoreCLR 4.6.27019.06, CoreFX 4.6.27019.05), 64bit RyuJIT

Limitations
Please note that this exporter internally uses the git diff
command, so it requires a GIT installed on the system.

Fady is a technical power house who holds us all to a higher engineering bar. As many have said his ability to look around corners and anticipate technical challenges long before they're encountered is a tremendous asset on all the programs he's contributed on. Fady goes further and takes personal ownership of those challenges rather than deferring them to others.
As an anvil certifier, Fady is great at raising security concerns and effectively communicating potential risks present in a system. He is supportive of the development teams, providing resources and direction. Fady helped us successful certify a very large Anvils that consisted of 15+ services before our Open For Business cutoff.
Fady is a deep thinker that thoroughly thinks through every problem he is presented. He can see external elements or problems before they arise, and will always speak up when he sees them. You can almost hear the gears cranking in head when he is considering a problem and he always has great insight to provide.
Fady's superpower is the ability to deep dive and fix the root cause of issues, even for systems which he does not own. Besides numerous examples of this for runtime issues, Fady also demonstrates this capability in security reviews where he has identified real security issues.
Fady is a jack of all trades and somehow kind of a master of them all too? He's becoming a technical power house who can develop advanced systems at both the infrastructural and software level, can explain them effectively, defend his decisions, consider the big picture, organize his tasks, drive discussions, and influence those around him.
Fady working as a security certifier dove deep into the Sidewalk Cloud service and helped verify and close the security threats as mitigated. He took the time to learn and understand each service and identified several misses that even the security resources missed in their end to end assessment. He partnered with the security org to ensure the recertification captured data needed to close out the Anvil certification.
Fady is a highly knowledgeable engineer and great at problem-solving, troubleshooting, identifying security risks, and thinking big! He has definitely demonstrated ownership while working on Janus, the Anvil certification, Architecture, and ORR documents thereof. He rose to the challenge and delivered high-quality results. He has earned everyone's trust with his deep knowledge and backbone.
Fady is a smart engineer. He's very knowledgeable on the products that he built, and he is also amazing at considering every option presented to him. Hes extremely helpful and his explanations and presentation skills for problems are elegant. Overall, he is a great engineer and leader.
Fady was extremely helpful when guiding me through the Anvil process. He has a strong ability to understand new architectures and provide insightful feedback for those he works with. He always keeps the best interest of Amazon and the customer in mind when doing so as well.

Different demos/tutorials rely on different 3rd-party packages. If a demo crashes because it can't find a package then simply try to install it using torch-pkg:
$ torch-pkg install image # an image library for Torch7
$ torch-pkg install nnx # lots of extra neural-net modules
$ torch-pkg install camera # a camera interface for Linux/MacOS
$ torch-pkg install ffmpeg # a video decoder for most formats
$ ...
A complete list of packages can be obtained by doing:
$ torch-pkg list
or checking out this page.
Torch's main documentation gets installed when you install Torch, and should be available here, or wherever you installed Torch.
This repo also comes with documentation, in the form of tutorials. To make them available, simply issue the following command in this directory:
$ torch-pkg deploy
After that, a list of tutorials will be available in the documentation.
Each directory provides a tutorial or a demo, with no particular order. It's a good idea to have the local Torch documentation open on the side, for reference. As Torch is based on the Lua language, it's also a good idea to go through the Lua 5.1 book.
These demos were slowly put together by: Clement Farabet & Roy Lowrance.

Stretched-grid, CMake, and Continuous Integration Developments in GCHP
Liam Bindle
2020-01-29
Stretched-grid
- Transform to the cube‑sphere's grid-boxes
- Nimble control over the target region and resolution
- Easy to implement in GCHP because MAPL 2.0 and FV3 support it
SG Testing
- Added stretched-grid support to GCPy benchmarking
- This lets me compare high resolution GCHP simulations to stretched-grid simulations
- This work is in progress
CMake Support
- Complete overhaul of the build‑system
- GEOS-Chem added CMake support in October (version 12.6)
- MAPL 2.0 and future releases only support CMake
- In GCHPctm we use existing CMakeLists in GEOS-Chem, MAPL, and 6 other internal dependencies
Continuous Integration
- Added to GEOS-Chem in October and GCHP in December
- Future work should add runtime tests and expand the build matrix
- A pre-release versioning scheme is being discussed


Class: Sketchup::Color
| Relationships | |
| Inherits: | Object |
Overview
The Color class is used to create and manipulate colors within SketchUp Models. The class can also be used the same way with LayOut documents.
For methods that accept a Color
object, such as the face.material method, you can pass in an actual Color
object, or an object that can be converted to a Color
. For example:
SketchUp ships with several built in colors in the Materials
Browser. These colors are listed in the following table.

Runs an optimization for a cloud project. Before starting the optimization the CLI shows an interactive wizard letting you configure the target, the parameters, the constraints, the node type, and the number of parallel nodes. While running the optimization a progress bar shows to keep you up-to-date on the status of the optimization. After running the optimization the optimal parameters and the statistics of the backtest with the optimal parameters are logged.
If you have a local copy of the cloud project you can use the --push
option to push local modifications to the cloud before starting the optimization.

Installing PyClaw¶
The fastest way to install the latest release of PyClaw is:
pip install clawpack
To get the latest development version, do this instead:
git clone git@github.com:clawpack/clawpack.git
cd clawpack
python setup.py install
If you encounter any difficulties in the installation process, please contact us or raise an issue.
To run an example, launch an IPython session and then:
from clawpack.pyclaw import examples
claw = examples.shock_bubble_interaction.setup()
claw.run()
claw.plot()
This will run the code and then place you in an interactive plotting shell. To view the simulation output frames in sequence, simply press ‘enter’ repeatedly. To exit the shell, type ‘q’. For help, type ‘?’ or see Plotting PyClaw results.
Dependencies: Python, gfortran, numpy, and matplotlib¶
PyClaw requires Python 2.7 or greater and a modern Fortran 95 compiler. PyClaw is known to work with GNU gfortran 4.2 and higher and the IBM XLF compiler.
- Python version >= 2.7.
- numpy version >= 1.6.
- matplotlib version >= 1.0.1 (optional – only for plotting).
- pip
- A Fortran 90 compiler, such as gfortran version >= 4.2. If you do not have one already, we recommend getting one via GCC Wiki GFortranBinaries.
There are some additional dependencies for running in parallel; see Running in parallel.
Obtaining Python, numpy, and matplotlib¶
If you don’t already have these on your system, we recommend Anaconda CE or Enthought Canopy Express (both free).
Clawpack¶
PyClaw is part of Clawpack, which includes several other packages; see Clawpack components. Note that the installation instructions above will install PyClaw, Riemann and VisClaw. If you also wish to use AMRClaw or GeoClaw, you should follow the more general Clawpack Installation instructions.
Testing your installation with nose¶
If you’ve manually downloaded the source, or cloned from Github, then you can easily test your installation. First install nose:
pip install nose
Then
cd clawpack/pyclaw
nosetests
If you have followed the instructions for Running in parallel, you can run the tests in parallel:
mpirun -n 4 nosetests
Note
PyClaw automatically enables tests that require PETSc if it detects a petsc4py installation. Otherwise, tests that use PETSc are disabled.
Next steps¶
Now you’re ready to set up your own PyClaw simulation. Try the PyClaw tutorial: Solve the acoustics equations!


Douglas is the Island's capital and its main port. It has an outer and an inner harbour. The Outer Harbour is accessable at all tides.
As this is a commercial port, it is important to call Port Control on VHF channel 12 prior to entering or leaving.
The Inner Harbour is approached via a lifing bridge and flap gate which maintains a minimum depth of 2 metres. The marina is situated here, in the centre of the town, and offers complete shelter. It is advisable to call in advance to check for space.
In the summer season, there is a pontoon on Battery Pier in southern corner of the Outer Harbour, which is useful, but a bit of a long walk into the town. In strong north easterly or easterly winds this pontoon becomes untenable. The Outer Harbour itself is less comfortable due to the frequent ferry and other ship movements.

7.1 Deforestation and Its Causes
A great variety of plants and animals exists on earth. They are essential for the wellbeing and survival of mankind. Today, a major threat to survival of these organisms is deforestation. We know that deforestation means clearing of forests and using that land for other purposes.
Trees in the forest are cut for some of the purposes mentioned below:
- Procuring land for cultivation.
- Building houses and factories.
- Making furniture or using wood as fuel.
Some natural causes of deforestation are forest fires and severe droughts.
Activity 7.1
Add more causes of deforestation to your list and classify them into natural and man-made.
7.2 Consequences of Deforestation
Paheli and Boojho recalled the consequences of deforestation. They remembered that deforestation increases the temperature and pollution level on the earth. It increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Ground water level also gets lowered. They know that deforestation disturbs the balance in nature. They were told by Prof. Ahmad that if cutting of trees continues, rainfall and the fertility of the soil will decrease.
How does deforestation reduce rainfall on the one hand and lead to floods on the other?
Moreover, there will be increased chances of natural calamities such as floods and droughts. Recall that plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Fewer trees would mean that less carbon dioxide will be used up resulting in its increased amount in the atmosphere. This will lead to global warming as carbon dioxide traps the heat rays reflected by the earth. The increase in temperature on the earth disturbs the water cycle and may reduce rainfall. This could cause droughts.
Deforestation is a major cause which leads to the change in soil properties. Physical properties of the soil get affected by plantation and vegetation. Recall from Class VII how trees prevent soil erosion. Fewer trees result in more soil erosion. Removal of the top layer of the soil exposes the lower, hard and rocky layers. This soil has less humus and is less fertile. Gradually the fertile land gets converted into deserts. It is called desertification.
Deforestation also leads to a decrease in the water holding capacity of the soil. The movement of water from the soil surface into the ground (infiltration rate) is reduced. So, there are floods. The other properties of the soil like nutrient content, texture, etc., also change because of deforestation.
Activity 7.2
Animal life is also affected by deforestation. How? List the points and discuss them in your class.
7.3 Conservation of Forest and Wildlife
Having become aware of the effects of deforestation, Paheli and Boojho are worried. They go to Prof. Ahmad and ask him how forests and wildlife can be saved.
Prof. Ahmad organises a visit to a biosphere reserve for Paheli, Boojho and their classmates. He selects a place named Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve. He knows that the plants and animals found here are similar to those of the upper Himalayan peaks and to those belonging to the lower western ghats. Prof. Ahmad believes that the biodiversity found here is unique. He requests Madhavji, a forest employee, to guide the children inside the biosphere reserve. He explains that preserving areas of such biological importance make them a part of our national heritage.
Biosphere is that part of the earth in which living organisms exist or which supports life. Biological diversity or biodiversity, refers to the variety of organisms existing on the earth, their interrelationships and their relationship with the environment.
Madhavji explains to the children that apart from our personal efforts and efforts of the society, government agencies also take care of the forests and animals. The government lays down rules, methods and policies to protect and conserve them. Wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, biosphere reserves, etc., are protected areas for conservation of plants and animals present in that area.
To protect our flora and fauna and their habitats, protected areas called sanctuaries, national parks and biosphere reserves have been earmarked. Plantation, cultivation, grazing, felling trees, hunting and poaching are prohibited there. Sanctuary : Areas where animals are protected from any disturbance to them and their habitat.
National Park : Areas reserved for wild life where they can freely use the habitats and natural resources. Biosphere Reserve : Large areas of protected land for conservation of wild life, plant and animal resources and traditional life of the tribals living in the area.

Checking the Installed Version¶
Check that you are using the installed version of newt:
$ which newt
/usr/local/bin/newt
$ newt version
Apache Newt version: 1.5.0
Note: If you previously built newt from source and the output of
which newt
shows
“$GOPATH/bin/newt”, you will need to move “$GOPATH/bin” after
“/usr/local/bin” for your PATH in ~/.bash_profile, and source
~/.bash_profile.

Notes:
- The master branch may be unstable.
- This installation will install the latest version of Go on your computer, if it is not installed, and compile newt locally.
If you previously installed newt using brew, unlink the current version. Depending on your previous newt version you may have to also uninstall newt.
$ brew unlink mynewt-newt
$ brew uninstall mynewt-newt
Install the latest unstable version of newt from the master branch:
$ brew install mynewt-newt --HEAD
To switch back to the latest stable release version of newt, you can run:
$ brew switch mynewt-newt 1.5.0
