See below for more description of the switches.
DESCRIPTION
perldoc looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is embedded in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays it via "pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER". (In addition, if running under HP-UX, "col -x" will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for the perl library modules.Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
If you are looking for a table of contents to the Perl library modules documentation, see the perltoc page.
OPTIONS
- -h
- Prints out a brief help message.
- -v
- Describes search for the item in detail (verbosely).
- -t
- Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster, but it probably won't look as nice.
- -u
- Skip the real Pod formatting, and just show the raw Pod source (Unformatted)
- -m module
- Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation. This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
- -l
- Display only the file name of the module found.
- -F
- Consider arguments as file names; no search in directories will be performed.
- -f perlfunc
-
The -f option followed by the name of a perl built in function will
extract the documentation of this function from perlfunc.
Example:
perldoc -f sprintf
- -q perlfaq-search-regexp
- The -q option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search the question headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching the regular expression. Example: "perldoc -q shuffle"
- -T
- This specifies that the output is not to be sent to a pager, but is to be sent right to STDOUT.
- -d destination-filename
- This specifies that the output is to be sent neither to a pager nor to STDOUT, but is to be saved to the specified filename. Example: "perldoc -oLaTeX -dtextwrapdocs.tex Text::Wrap"
- -o output-formatname
-
This specifies that you want Perldoc to try using a Pod-formatting
class for the output format that you specify. For example:
"-oman". This is actually just a wrapper around the "-M" switch;
using "-oformatname" just looks for a loadable class by adding
that format name (with different capitalizations) to the end of
different classname prefixes.
For example, "-oLaTeX" currently tries all of the following classes: Pod::Perldoc::ToLaTeX Pod::Perldoc::Tolatex Pod::Perldoc::ToLatex Pod::Perldoc::ToLATEX Pod::Simple::LaTeX Pod::Simple::latex Pod::Simple::Latex Pod::Simple::LATEX Pod::LaTeX Pod::latex Pod::Latex Pod::LATEX.
- -M module-name
-
This specifies the module that you want to try using for formatting the
pod. The class must at least provide a "parse_from_file" method.
For example: "perldoc -MPod::Perldoc::ToChecker".
You can specify several classes to try by joining them with commas or semicolons, as in "-MTk::SuperPod;Tk::Pod".
- -w option:value or -w option
-
This specifies an option to call the formatter with. For example,
"-w textsize:15" will call
"$formatter->textsize(15)" on the formatter object before it is
used to format the object. For this to be valid, the formatter class
must provide such a method, and the value you pass should be valid.
(So if "textsize" expects an integer, and you do "-w textsize:big",
expect trouble.)
You can use "-w optionname" (without a value) as shorthand for "-w optionname:TRUE". This is presumably useful in cases of on/off features like: "-w page_numbering".
You can use a ``='' instead of the ``:'', as in: "-w textsize=15". This might be more (or less) convenient, depending on what shell you use.
- -X
- Use an index if it is present --- the -X option looks for an entry whose basename matches the name given on the command line in the file "$Config{archlib}/pod.idx". The pod.idx file should contain fully qualified filenames, one per line.
- -L language_code
- This allows to specify the language code for desired language translation. If "POD2::<language_code>" package doesn't exist (or isn't installed in your system), the switch will be ignored. All available translation packages should be found under the "POD2::" namespace. See POD2::IT (or POD2::FR) in order to see how to create and integrate new localized "POD2::*" pod documentation packages in Pod::Perldoc.
- PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
- The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as "File::Basename") are specified either as "File::Basename" or "File/Basename". You may also give a descriptive name of a page, such as "perlfunc".
- -n some-formatter
- Specify replacement for nroff
- -r
- Recursive search.
- -i
- Ignore case.
- -V
- Displays the version of perldoc you're running.
SECURITY
Because perldoc does not run properly tainted, and is known to have security issues, when run as the superuser it will attempt to drop privileges by setting the effective and real IDs to nobody's or nouser's account, or -2 if unavailable. If it cannot relinquish its privileges, it will not run.ENVIRONMENT
Any switches in the "PERLDOC" environment variable will be used before the command line arguments.Useful values for "PERLDOC" include "-oman", "-otext", "-otk", "-ortf", "-oxml", and so on, depending on what modules you have on hand; or exactly specify the formatter class with "-MPod::Perldoc::ToMan" or the like.
"perldoc" also searches directories specified by the "PERL5LIB" (or "PERLLIB" if "PERL5LIB" is not defined) and "PATH" environment variables. (The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as "perldoc" itself, are available.)
"perldoc" will use, in order of preference, the pager defined in "PERLDOC_PAGER", "MANPAGER", or "PAGER" before trying to find a pager on its own. ("MANPAGER" is not used if "perldoc" was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.)
One useful value for "PERLDOC_PAGER" is "less -+C -E".
Having PERLDOCDEBUG set to a positive integer will make perldoc emit even more descriptive output than the "-v" switch does --- the higher the number, the more it emits.

13-year old Wei (Wei Minzhi) has just shown up at a poor, remote and barren Chinese farming village on the foothills of a mountain. She is there to substitute teach in the local primary school for one month. Nobody--including us, the audience of "Not One Less"--expects much. Our expectations are diminished on two levels. We consider it unlikely that an untrained youngster could educate a roomful of unruly students just a few years younger than herself. Also, we consider it unlikely that a feature film based on such a situation and using a non-professional cast can entertain. Director Zhang Yimou, best known for ambitious period dramas like "Raise the Red Lantern," takes such modest material and transforms it into a powerful neo-realist story that evokes the larger drama unfolding in Chinese society.
"Not One Less," second cousin to other recent neo-realist works such as the Brazilian "Central Station" and the American "La Ciudad," is an advocate for the victims of the global economic transformation some call "neoliberalism." Poor rural folk, who are losers in the free-market lottery society, have to eke out a living on the margins of bustling urban centers. Their only hope is to find a way to crack into the successful inner circle of the city folk. The neo-realist genre of today questions whether such a pursuit is really worth it.
The movie's title derives from an informal contract between the school's regular teacher and Wei. After he returns from his one month leave of absence, she will be paid 57 yuan. But only if every student is still in attendance. Not only is he parsimonious with the wage contract, he also doles out supplies with an eye-dropper. He counts out 26 pieces of chalk, one for each day of the month excluding Sundays. Since the one room school is falling apart at the seams, we understand that the teacher has no alternative. As we might expect, a form of "TINA" has found its way into the nooks and crannies of Chinese socialist society. If a poor farming village can not provide commodities for the world market, why would we expect a classroom to reflect anything different from the surrounding poverty?
As he spells out her duties, it is clear that she is barely up to the task. Since she doesn't know the first thing about teaching, the best she can do is copy lessons from the teacher's textbook on the blackboard--making sure not to exceed her chalk ration for that day. After she has finished transcribing the words, the students will then dutifully enter them into their composition books. He reminds her that since the chalk is so precious, she should be careful not to waste it. She should write large enough so that the students can see the characters on the board, but not too large. Pointing to the barnyard outside the schoolroom, he says that the size of a donkey turd is just about right. Wei asks the teacher when she should dismiss the students each day. Since there is no clock in the schoolroom, he explains that the day ends when the setting sun falls upon a pole at one end of the room. What if it is overcast? Then send them home early.
For the first few days, as we might expect, chaos rules in the classroom. After Wei has finished transcribing a lesson on the board, she closes the door on the students like a jailer and sits on the front stoop playing with her fingers. Only when they begin to run wild, she goes back into the schoolroom and tries to restore order.
The most disruptive student is Zhang (Zhang Huike), a boy who enjoys being the class clown and defying Wei. What he does not realize is that Wei is as strong-willed as him and will not allow him to have his way. The relationship between these two characters shapes the narrative of the film, especially when Zhang is forced to leave school and go to the city to find work. Although he has made things rough for her in the classroom, she needs to track him down in the city and bring him back to the school because of the "not one less" contract. But it is not just money that motivates her. She understands that a young child on his own has little chance of survival in the city.
Getting to the city is no easy task since she lacks the money for bus fare. Her students have now begun to rally around her and pledge to help raise the necessary funds. Accompanied by them like the Pied Piper, she marches off to a nearby brick factory where they hope to make some money moving bricks from one place to another. The wages, as you would expect, are meager. This scene evokes the scene in "La Ciudad," where Latino workers spend an entire day in the rubble of demolished buildings cleaning bricks. As in "La Ciudad" there is a struggle to get a sufficient wage. Wei and the students bicker with the factory owner after their job is done--done without his knowledge or permission in fact--to get him to fork over the yuans necessary to pay her bus fare.
Haggling over money is a persistent theme throughout the film and the director Zhang leaves no doubt as to his disgust with the cash nexus overtaking China. It is difficult to think of another film in recent history which features so many scenes involving struggles over fees, wages, prices and debts. It is reminiscent in some ways of a Balzac novel, which inevitably depicts the denizens of Paris involved in similar haggling. 19th century Paris, like the cities being transformed in China today, are battlegrounds over the most universal of commodities: money.
When Wei arrives in the city, she begins her search in the railroad station. Like the "Central Station" in the Brazilian film, this central station is filled with the poor and the displaced.  It is also a magnet for youngsters who are either begging or stealing to survive. Wei's search begins here but she soon ends up walking up and down the streets of the city, appearing as forlorn and as displaced as the Latinos in "La Ciudad." Her encounters with the impatient and money-driven urban dwellers do not deter her, however. This young woman who will not cry uncle symbolizes the peasant roots of the Chinese revolution, which the director Zhang has not lost sight of. Even when she forgets the words to the militant Maoist Chinese national anthem, there is no question as to her class instincts.
Reviewers of "Not One Less" have dwelled on what is considered an artificial happy ending, which they view as a token to government pressure. To make a film that was uncompromisingly bleak, they argue, is impossible in today's China where the hostile economic forces being depicted in the film have official government sanction.
This is a facile view as one might expect from critics in an imperialist country that is responsible for the economic contradictions that forced China to retreat from socialism in the first place. When a major Hollywood studio bankrolls a film like "La Ciudad," then these critics might have stronger grounds for such sanctimonious criticisms. In the meantime, there is much that socialists can take heart from in "Not One Less." It is a sign that the embers of social justice have not been extinguished in China. For as long as directors like Zhang Yimou are given a platform in China, there is evidence that the revolutionary spirit has not been vanquished.

instant.page 3.0 — incorporating the best from quicklink
Introduction
instant.page makes your site’s pages instant — in 1 minute of effort — by preloading pages right before a user clicks on them: when they hover over a link for 65 ms; there’s one chance out of two that they will click then. On mobile, it preloads when they start touching their display, before releasing it.
quicklink from Google makes your site’s pages instant by preloading every link the user sees. This is heavy in terms of resources.
Different strengths
On desktop, instant.page’s mechanism is enough to make pages instant the vast majority of the time, but on mobile on good 3G it merely feels instant — because the brain perceive any action taking less than 100 ms as instant — but it’s not totally instant. And it only feels instant on good 3G if your pages are fast to render.
quicklink on mobile is great, as it makes links be truly instant (minus rendering time). On desktop, not so great, as it makes an enormous amount of requests because the viewport is so large — while preloading on hover would do the job nearly just as well.
The best of both worlds
instant.page 3.0 combines the best of both worlds, as it preloads on hover on desktop and has a new option to preload every visible links on mobile, where there are fewer links visible and where it makes the most impact.
Enable instant.page 3.0 on your site in 1 minute:
cta-widget
Then add data-instant-intensity="viewport"
as an attribute to the <body>. You now have truly instant pages (minus rendering time) on every device, while making a great deal less requests than quicklink would do.
Mimicking quicklink entirely, with a bonus
If you don’t mind making a lot of requests, you can enable viewport preloading on desktop and tablets as well with data-instant-intensity="viewport-all"
. This mimics quicklink’s behavior, with the added advantage that it will fall back to instant.page’s default preloading mechanism if the observation of all links on the page hasn’t kicked in yet (both quicklink and instant.page use requestIdleCallback to defer that to when your page is idle) or if the user has enabled data saver or is on 2G.
Make your users enjoy the best of both worlds. Or just use instant.page’s default options, that’s pretty fast too.

I had been having a pretty uneventful day reading and working in my lab at the med school. When the evening rolled around, I felt a powerful desire to go into an altered state of consciousness. But how? I had some ketamine, GBL, and an assortment of research chemical tryptamines and phenethylamines. I was not in the mood for a long trip, so I was left with only two options: ketamine and GBL.
I decided to take some GBL first, so that I would be calm while administering the ketamine as an IM injection. I'd never injected myself before, but I had a friend give me an IM injection of ketamine once, and I decided from that experience that the IM method is vastly superior to insufflation (no revolting taste dripping down my throat, which I think prevents me from having an OOBE because my body is in an unpleasant, nauseous state).
Once I felt sufficiently relaxed from the GBL (metabolized to GHB), I decided to embark upon my ketamine adventure. I pulled up half a milliliter into the syringe and poked it into the meaty muscle on the top of my thigh, then injected the 50mg. Easy, no pain whatsoever! Before the effects began, I decided that I would need a higher dose to induce an OOBE, so I pulled another .2mL (20mg) into the syringe and spiked my other thigh in the same spot.
By this point, I was beginning to feel the effects coming on, so I put on a brand new CD that turned out to be perfect dissociation music, Tripswitch Circuit Breaker. I like to hear completely new music when I trip because if I listen to familiar music there is a sense of continuity of self: I know this music, I love this music! The problem is that when I do ketamine, I donít want to be aware of my individual self, for the self obstructs any attempt to achieve true boundlessness, universal consciousness, or the oceanic experience.
Very soon after I laid down in bed, I felt myself break apart into individual molecules, then individual atoms, then subatomic particles, and I dissolved into the universe. Most of the trip was so ineffable that to attempt to put it into words would be impossible without resorting to outlandish metaphors that really would not convey in any real sense what I experienced.
At one point, however, I experienced the consciousness of one of the baby mice that I have to kill as part of my research. I was writhing about on my back, and I saw an enormous creature approach me and insert a gigantic needle into my peritoneal cavity and inject who-knows-what. I felt wronged, but the giant looked down upon me benevolently and thanked me for my martyrdom. He radiated love as he apologized for my suffering, and this eased my discomfort enough that I could fall asleep. I awoke back in my own human body, and thought that it would be nice if my supervisor could have that experience. He seems so callous about sacrificing animals for science, even monkeys, our phylogenetic brethren.
The experience continued in waves: I would fall away from attachment to my self, then return, and so on and so forth. I had been hoping to experience synesthesia with the music and to have a true Out-Of-Body-Experience, but neither of these occurred during my trip, to my disappointment.
In retrospect, the trip was not very interesting, and I doubt I would repeat it. Perhaps the GBL dulled the trip. I havenít done enough ketamine to make a decent comparison between pure K versus K + G versus K + Deprenyl versus all three.

OK. I saw this copy method, however I thought it existed only for internal

qs2 = static_cast<QSpace> (qs->clone(false))
Am I right on this point ? (I tested it and it seems to work
so far, but I prefer asking for confirmation...)

MAGNOLIA A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
MAGNOLIA, by writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (BOOGIE NIGHTS), is a large and uneven collage of relatively unrelated stories with themes of love and death, truth and lies, and guilt and redemption. The best of the segments are absolutely mesmerizing, but the worst of them are seat-numbingly tedious.
The forecast for the San Fernando Valley on the day that the picture takes place is "party cloudy with an 82% chance of rain." But like most motion pictures, the prop department never stocks umbrellas, a fact which never ceases to amaze me.
Although the movie has a cast of thousands, the stories are really individual ones. To underscore this, the film's killer score starts with a long and loud rendition of "One Is The Loneliest Number."
In a fascinating performance likely to get an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, Tom Cruise is Frank T.J. Mackey, a motivational speaker for sex-crazed men who aren't getting enough. The author of the "Seduce and Destroy System," he preaches a take-no-prisoners approach to sex. A long-haired Cruise plays a man so stoked up that he would appear to use cocaine rather than sugar on his breakfast cereal. When he demands coffee in one scene, the reaction is that, if ever a man didn't need caffeine, it is Frank.
Anderson uses the dramatic theme music ("Also Sprach Zarathustra") from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY for Frank's introduction. Bathed in light like a rock star, Frank enters the room full of would-be world-class seducers and lectures them on how to succeed with every woman they meet. Frank thinks with his private parts -- part of his anatomy that he teaches must be "respected."
Generally Frank doesn't think much of woman as people, but he does see some value in them. "As we learn in Chapter 23," he instructs his adoring male audience, "having a few chick friends lying around is handy for setting up a jealousy trap." Later, when confronted with the reality of his parents, he comes completely unglued. ("The most useless thing in the world is what is behind me -- Chapter 3," he tells a probing reporter who gets under his skin.)
Almost as good as Cruise is John C. Reilly as Officer Jim Kurring. The tender, shy cop hasn't had a date since he got his divorce three years ago. He looks for love with an unlikely date, a cokehead (Melora Walters) whom he meets when she disturbs the neighbors with her noise.
Philip Baker Hall plays Jimmy Gator, the host of television's longest running quiz show. Jeremy Blackman plays Stanley Spector, the show's current boy genius, and Michael Bowen plays the boy's obnoxious father. (In a separate story William H. Macy plays a former boy genius from the show.) Once you learn that Jimmy is rapidly dying of cancer and that Stanley needs to go to the bathroom but they won't let him, you can guess some of what will happen on the show that day.
In the story's most uninteresting segments, Jason Robards plays Earl Partridge, a man literally on his deathbed. Robards, an actor whose talents I find highly limited, gets way too much screen time for my taste. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Earl's nurse, and Julianne Moore plays his trophy wife.
Although the film starts with great momentum, Anderson loses it all by dragging it out just past three hours. The last hour, especially, is a real snoozer. Never even attempting to bring the stories together into a satisfying whole, Anderson instead ends the movies with a ridiculous conclusion introduced completely out of left field.
MAGNOLIA runs way too long at 3:02. It is rated R for strong language, drug use, sexuality and some violence and would be acceptable for older and mature teenagers.

 1. When you "Knit" an R markdown document, it will start with an *empty* workspace (ie. it will forget everything!) 2. You must explicitly load all packages with `library()` and load in external datasets (e.g.; `clinical_data <- read_csv("data/data.csv")`) 3.

 1. You can easily read in external files like images, R code, or datasets in your document. 2. All external files should be in a folder in the "Root" Directory containing the Markdown (.Rmd) file 3.

tell/1
tell/1 – sets the standard output stream
telling/1 – returns the name of the standard output stream
told/0 – closes the standard output stream
FORMS
tell(File)
telling(File)
told
DESCRIPTION
tell/1 sets the current output stream to the file named File. If File is already open for output, the existing file descriptor will be used.
Otherwise, a new file descriptor will be allocated, and output operations will start
at the beginning of the file, overwriting the previous contents.
telling/1 unifies File with the name of the current output stream. If no stream has been explicitly
opened by tell, then File will be unified with the atom user.
told/0 closes the current output stream and deallocates its file descriptor. The
current output stream is then set to user. user is the name of the default output stream which is normally connected to the
console. user is always present, and told/0 can never close it.
EXAMPLES
The following program will preserve the current output stream, open a file and
write one term to it, and then restore the previous output stream.
firstTerm(File,Term) :-
telling(CurrentOutput),
tell(File),
write(Term),
told,
tell(CurrentOutput).

Govt to make hallmarking mandatory for gold jewellery
by PTIThe government will make hallmarking for gold jewellery and artifacts mandatory from January 15, 2021, to ensure quality, Union Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Friday.
The department of consumer affairs will issue a notification by January 15, 2020, for making gold hallmarking mandatory.
However, one year period will be provided for implementation of this decision to enable jewellers clear their existing stock.

Developer User Group Code of Conduct
All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at a DevUG meetup are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the events. We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensuring a safe environment for everybody.
Need Help?
Reach out to a DevUG organisers at the event.
The Quick Version
Our meetups are dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the organisers.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of organisers immediately.
Staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

Some features that have been requested for the BioBike language
require us to provide our own evaluation rule that is slightly
different from Common Lisp's. One in particular is the ability to use
bare symbols to refer to genes and organisms (which are represented by
frames in the frame system) without any reader macros such #$
and #^
and also without having to include the frame "prefix"
(the Npun.
in names like Npun.NpF0001
). Other features
that are best handled by taking control of evaluation are the
[...]
notation for subscripting operations and the need to
allow BioBike functions to be defined as macros without having to
forward declare them.
The main difference between the BioBike evaluation rule and Common Lisp's is that BioBike is aware of the frame system and can evaluate a bare symbol in a value position as a reference to a frame. Conceptually we want to make it appear that the BioBike environment is prepopulated with constants whose names are the names and nicknames of all the named frames in the frame system and whose values are the frames. We could in fact implement it that way except that when the frame system has several billion named frames (stored in AllegroCache) we won't be to keep them in memory as Lisp constants.
Instead we will implement the following evaluation rule for symbols in value positions:
SYMBOL-NAME
of the symbol.If none of these cases provide a value for the symbol, we signal an error.1
In order to allow users to use "simple" names such as NpF0001
to refer to frames whose fully-qualified names include a prefix
(Npun
in this case) we need to provide a mechanism by which
users can control how simple names are resolved into fully-qualified
names.
The mechanism will be "frame modules" which map simple names to frames
in a way analogous to how Common Lisp packages map simple names to
interned symbols.2 A frame module defines a set of prefixes that can be
used to form fully-qualified names from simple names. A simple frame
module consists of a single prefix such as Npun
. Composite
frame modules can be built up by "using" other frame modules. As with
packages, there is always a "current" frame module. In the weblistener
each user will be given their own frame module so that new frames they
create will be in a distinct namespace from frames created by other
users. But just as user's packages use the packages containing the
names of standard Common Lisp and BioBike functions, so too will their
per-user frame modules use the frame modules containing the names of
the frames they are likely to need ready access to. The administrator
of a BioBike installation will be able to specify the base frame
module for per-user frame modules, making sure that things "just work"
for users making normal use of the system. For instance, on a system
used primarily by cyanobacteriologists the base frame module would
likely include the frame modules containing the relevant organisms, GO
data, Kegg data, and possibly OC frames.
Since it is possible that a frame module could be composed by combining two or more frame modules that share certain simple names, we'll need some mechanism for resolving the ambiguity. We could adopt an approach similar to Common Lisp packages, requiring the author of a frame module to resolve any ambiguities when they define the frame module, choosing the name from one frame module or the other. However this requires that the system can detect such ambiguities efficiently which may not be feasible if some of these frame modules are going to contain billions of names. There are a number of ways to resolve this from a simple minded ordered search (search module Foo before Bar so if they share a simple name, the one in Foo is used) to providing an easy way to include only a specific subset of the names in another frame module. We'll have to think more about this once we've got the basic frame module machinery in place.
Because the built-in frames are conceptually constant values we want to make sure that users can't accidentally redefine those names. And because frame names will now live in the variable namespace that means that we need to prevent two things:
The motivation for these restrictions to increase the comprehensibility of programs. If most users are using a user-specific frame module that uses a standard set of other domain relevant modules, then it will improve program clarity if globally accessible names mean the same thing from program to program. We may provide a way for sophisticated users to get around this restriction, perhaps by selectively removing certain names from their frame module.
It might also be worthwhile to extend whatever mechanism we implement for protecting frames to protecting global variables--if the system defines global variables other than frames, the same argument against allowing users to arbitrarily redefine them applies. Note however that the prohibition against redefining frames and possibly global variables does not prevent locally rebinding these names. It's perfectly legal (though maybe not entirely wise) to say:
(let ((NpF0001 (random 100))) ...)
All this means is that within the scope of that LET
, the simple
name of frame Npun.NpF0001
is shadowed by the local variable
NpF0001
.3
The new BioBike language will also provide two new syntactic features:
the use of [
and ]
as a subscripting operator as in
C/Perl/Java/Python and the use of {...}
as a shorthand way of
building lists, to avoid having to write (list ...)
.
The {...
} to (list ...)
transformation is easily
implemented with a regular Common Lisp reader macro. The only cost is
that we are then burning {
and }
for this purpose--they
can't be used later for something else like delimiting a section of
infix math, e.g. (setf x {y * (2 + z)})
.
Using [
and ]
as subscripting operators requires both
customizing the reader and support from the BioBike
evaluator. Basically we will cause the reader to read [
and
]
as separate tokens and then in the evaluator to look for
occurrences of these tokens and translate:
thing [ subscripts* ]
into:
(ref thing subscripts*)
where REF
is a macro that expands into code that does run-time
type checking on the value of thing as necessary to determine how
to treat the values of subscripts as subscripts.4 The objects that will support subscripting are frames (which can
be subscripted with slot names), hash tables (subscripted with keys),
and arrays (subscripted with integer indices). We could also define a
generic function protocol for subscripting so new kinds of objects can
be used with the []
syntax.
We have not yet completely defined the exact semantics of REF
(and thus of the []
syntax). Some examples given during
discussion implied that a form like a[x y z]
should be
equivalent to (list a[x] a[y] a[z])
but we haven't discussed
all the details. Some folks might expect it to be equivalent to a
multidimensional indexing operation, i.e. a[x][y][z]
. We'll
need to sort that out.
While several of the basic BioBike language features will be provided
by the new evaluator, there are a number of features that will be
provided by a new DEFINE-FUNCTION
macro. These include:
T
or NIL
.)The new DEFINE-FUNCTION
will actually be slightly misnamed
because it's actually going to define a macro (and an associated
function). The basic idea is that DEFINE-FUNCTION
will allow
the function author to specify declaratively how the argument list is
to be parsed and will generate a macro to do the parsing, binding the
parameters appropriately before invoking an auxiliary function
containing the actual code. For instance, the following definition:
(define-function foo required (x) keyword (y) flag (z) body (if z (do-stuff x y) (do-other-stuff x y)))
might generate something like the following macro5:
(defmacro foo (&whole form &rest args) `(let ((*stack* (cons ',form *stack*)) (x ,(first args)) (y ,(cadr (member 'y args :test #'symequal))) (z ,(if (find 'z args :test #'symequal) t nil))) (foo-aux x y z)))
and the following definition of FOO-AUX
6:
(defun foo-aux (x y z) (if z (do-stuff x y) (do-other-stuff x y)))
Which can then be called like this:
(foo 10) (foo 10 y 20) (foo 10 y 20 z) (foo 10 z y 20)
The dynamic variable *STACK*
will be used when generating error
messages and stack traces.
More elaborate functions will specify that certain arguments must be of certain types and the macro will generate code that checks the types at runtime, generating uniform error messages in the case of a type mismatch. It can also generate code that knows how to coerce actual arguments to the required types in well-defined ways. For instance we might define that a coding gene can be coerced to the protein that it codes for. Then (again using a particular syntax for illustration only) the following definition:
(define-function bar required p type p (or gene protein) convert p to protein summary "Does stuff with a protein." (do-stuff p))
might define a macro like this:
(defmacro bar (&whole form &rest args) `(let ((*stack* (cons ',form *stack*)) (p (let ((#:g1 ,(first args))) (cond ((gene-p #:g1) (or (convert #:g1 'protein) (error "~a argument to ~a in ~s is a ~a but can not be converted to a ~a" 'p 'bar ',form 'gene 'protein))) ((protein-p #:g1) #:g1) (t (error "~a argument to ~a in ~s not a ~{~a~^ or ~}" 'p 'bar ',form '(gene protein))))))) (bar-aux p)))
The type information attached to the function parameters will also be
used to automatically generate part of the function documentation. For
instance the documentation of BAR
might start something like
this:
Function BAR
Does stuff with a protein.
Arguments:
p -- a gene or protein. If a gene, must be a coding gene which is converted to the protein for which it codes.
The last bit, about the gene needing to be a coding gene, etc. will be boilerplate that is specified once, when we define how to convert a gene to a protein. This does, of course imply that there is a single way to convert a gene to a protein. Which seems like a good idea given the goal of providing consistency across functions BioBike. However we have some flexiblity there. Our current thinking is that there will be a way to define a conversion from one type to another. Perhaps something like this:
(defconversion gene -> protein (g) ...)
where ...
is the code that does the conversion. This defines
the default conversion which will be used when a
DEFINE-FUNCTION
contains a clause like "convert p to
protein
" and the actual type of the argument is a gene. Always using
the same conversion obviously increases the overall consistency of the
language and its libraries. However there may be times when the
default conversion is inapproriate. If we need to support other
conversions we can allow DEFCONVERSION
to define named
conversions, perhaps like this:
(defconversion gene -> protein (g) :named foo ...)
and then in DEFINE-FUNCTION
change the convert
clause
to:
convert p to protein using foo
In general the hope is that as we develop the library of standard BioBike functions well converge on a small set of useful conversions which can then be used consistently in the standard functions and in new user-defined functions.
We do expect that new programmers are gaing to use
DEFINE-FUNCTION
to write their functions. Indeed part of the
point of providing a declarative syntax for argument types and
conversions is to minimize the amount of code folks have to write--by
specifying:
type p (or gene protein) convert p to protein
the programmer will get a whole pile of code generated for them that will check the actual types of arguments passed to the function, will convert arguments to the expected type in a consistent and correct way, and will emit comprehensible error messages if the function is called with incorrect argument types or with objects that can't be converted to the desired type. Additionally, programmers who think clearly about what types of arguments their functions are supposed to be called with will be well on their way to writing functions that actually that work.
When Common Lisp is compiled the programmer needs a fair bit of sophistication to understand when different bits of code need to be compiled relative to each other and when different pieces need to be recompiled to pick up changes made in other code. For instance, a macro must be defined before you can compile a function that uses that macro. And if the macro is changed, already compiled function that use it must be recompiled to pick up the new macro definition.
In BioBike these problems will get even worse because every BioBike
function defined with DEFINE-FUNCTION
will be defined partly as
a macro so every function redefinition could potentially require
recompiling all callers of that function.
Rather than force BioBike users to deal with those kinds of issues we will remove any notion of explicit compilation from the language, relying instead on a Just in Time (JIT) compiler that will be built into the BioBike evaluator.7
Thus if a user defines the following two functions:
(define-function foo (x) (bar x))
(define-function bar (x) (if (plusp x) (foo (1- x))))
the BioBike evaluator will defer compilation of FOO
until
BAR
has been defined since it doesn't know how to compile the
form (bar x)
until it knows the definition of BAR
. In
fact there is no need to compile FOO
until the first time it is
called, at which point all the operators used in FOO
must have
been defined.
Similarly, after FOO
and BAR
have both been defined and
run, and thus compiled, if the user redefines BAR
the JIT
infrastructure will note that FOO
depends on BAR
and
thus needs to be recompiled.8 Under
the covers the JIT may go ahead and try to recompile FOO
rather
than waiting until it is called (to increase the responsiveness of the
system) but it will not bug the user with an error message if the
change to BAR
has rendered the current version of FOO
invalid--instead it will add an element to a list of current
inconsistencies indicating that there is an inconsistency between
FOO
and BAR
that was introduced by a change to
BAR
. If the user then redefines FOO
to be compatible
with the new version of BAR
, the JIT will remove the
inconsistency from the list and the user will never be
bothered. However if the user tries to invoke FOO
before the
inconsistency has been resolved, the JIT will issue an error message,
explaining when the inconsistency was introduced. In other words, the
system won't bother a user about inconsistencies between definitions
until it absolutely has to--when it is asked to run some code which is
presenly ill-defined.
However, we do expect to provide a user interface that will allow the
user to browse the inconsistency list at any time. This list can then
be used as a short-term todo list--after the user changes BAR
the system will be able to tell them all the places they need to
change to bring the whole system back into a consistent
state.9
After several go-rounds, the only wrinkle introduced by this proposal
that JP and I can think of is the question of what to do with
#$
and #^
.
One theory is that they are not supported in BioBike. Which, I
suspect, certain biologists will see as a feature, not a bug. The only
drawback of that approach is that we then we can't use #$Foo
as
a (Lisp) readable syntax for printing frame objects. Which may not
matter since frames can now be referred to simply with a symbol.
An variant on that theory is that they are half supported--the printer
will use #$
to print frame objects and the reader will
understand it. However the name that appears after #$
will
always be fully qualified--the reader macro and printer will no
nothing about frame modules.
A more radical alternative is to keep #$
and to enhance it to
understand frame modules so you can say #$NpF0001
instead of
#$Npun.NpF0001
. The problem with this approach it is a fairly
serious change to the existing frame system as used from existing
Common Lisp code and thus could break stuff, requiring us to spend a
lot of time tracking things down and fixing them. Thus one of the
first two theories (no support or half support) seem preferable.
What follows is a sample (fake) transcript demonstrating how some of the proposed features and semantics would work in the new BioBike environment.
First we interrogate the frame modules used by the current module. "System" is the special frame module which has no prefix.
> (frame-modules) ("Jelhai" "System" "Npun" "P9313" ... "Go" "Kegg" "OC")
The FROM
frame is in the System module, and thus available via
it's simple name:
> from #$from
Other frames can likewise be accessed via their simple names:
> pmt0016 #$P9313.pmt0016
> pmt0016[from] 18916
The system protects us from redefining names that already name existing, accessible frames:
> (setq pmt0016 5)
Error: PMT0016 is an alias for frame #$P9313.pmt0016 You are not allowed to change its meaning by assigning it a new value.
The frame virginia
doesn't exist, so it gets created in the
user's frame module:
> #$virginia #$jelhai.virginia
Since virginia
is a frame, the system knows that capital
must be the name of a frame, but it doesn't know what richmond
,
which doesn't exist, might be. There the system must be told that it
is a frame. This is done using either '.' notation as a prefix or
with NEW-FRAME
, shown below. The '.' notation is a special
syntax for referring to frames in the user's frame module. This
notation is normally only needed to refer to frames that are just
being created since using a plain symbol would result in an undefined
variable error since the frame doesn't exist yet. In other words,
is a shorthand for writing (new-frame foo)
.
> (assign virgina[capital] richmond) Error: RICHMOND is not a variable which has a value or the name or alias of a frame.
> (setf virginia[capital] .richmond) #$jelhai.richmond
> capital #$jelhai.capital
> (setf virginia[governor] fred-flintstone)
Error: fred-flintstone is not a variable which has a value or the name or alias of a frame.
> (setf virginia[governor] (new-frame fred-flintstone)) #$jelhai.fred-flintstone
> (df virginia)
Slots of #$jelhai.virginia capital: #$jelhai.richmond governor: #$jelhai.fred-flintstone
Lexically bound variables are always allowed, and always take precedence:
> (let ((virginia 10)) (virginia[governor]))
Error: Attempt to access a component of '10', but no method has been defined to access an object of type 'fixnum'
Since #$VIRGINIA is "shadowed" by the lexical variable
virginia
, the only way to refer to the frame is with '.'
notation. However, it's bad form to lexically shadow a frame you want
to refer to, because it makes the code really obscure
> (let ((virginia 10)) (setq virginia 5) (setf .virginia[governor] .wilma-flintstone) (list virginia .virginia[governor]))
(5 #$jelhai.wilma-flintstone)
But sometimes it makes sense to shadow frame names because the names have useful connotations / meanings:
> (let ((from 5) (to 10)) (subseq my-string from to)) "xyzzy"
All the frames and global variables conceptually live in a single namespace and the system protects the user from accidentally clobbering preexisting definitions:
> (new-frame from) Warning: The frame #$From already exists. No new frame is being created. NIL
> (new-frame elhai.from) Error: You cannot create your own frame FROM, because a sytem frame FROM already exists.
> (define my-own-variable 3) my-own-variable
> (new-frame my-own-variable) Error: You cannot create a frame called MY-OWN-VARIABLE because a global variable of that name already exists and has a value. Type (undefine my-own-variable) to undo the global variable definition and then you will be able to create a frame by that name.
> (new-frame alabama) #$alabama
> (define alabama 4) Error: A frame, #$JELHAI.ALABAMA already exists. You cannot define a global variable with the same name. Type (undefine alabama) to delete the ALABAMA frame from the system and then you can define it as a global variable.
Here are some examples of the proposed []
subscripting syntax
(assuming 0-based indexing for the moment):
> (setq x (copy-seq "abcdefg")) "abcdefg"
> (assign x[1 3 5] "xyz") "xyz"
> x "axcyezg"
And here's the {}
notation:
> (define my-genes {pmt0001 pmt0003 pmt0016}) (#$p9313.pmt0001 #$p9313.pmt0002 #$p9313.pmt0016)
And the new doless LOOP
:
> (loop for g in my-genes (print g[from])) (1256 19484 34555)
> (loop for g in my-genes collect g[from to] finally (print 'foo)) FOO ((1256 1350) (19484 20111) (34555 36999))
1. If we decide to support symbol macros we will insert a rule for local symbol macros between 1 and 2 and a rule for global symbol macros between 2 and 3.
2. One might ask why we don't just name frames with symbols and use packages to manage the namespace issues. The reason is that we anticipate having "billions and billions" of frames in the database (once it moves into AllegroCache) and we don't want to devote several gigs of main memory just to holding the names of all those frames.
3. From a Common Lisp point of view frames are thus
more like global variables than true constants since it is undefined
behavior to bind the name of a constant. However they are not like
Common Lisp global variables (i.e. those created with DEFVAR
or
DEFPARAMETER
since the frame names are not declared special--a
local variable binding of a name that happens to be the name of a
frame is still a lexical, as opposed to dynamic, binding. In fact we
may choose to provide "global lexical" variables--variables that are
global but not special, probably as the default style of global
variable. Dynamic variables will be available to those who really want
them, when they want them, either via a declaration or, possibly, via
a naming convention--variables with names starting and ending with
*
will be made special.
4. One issue we
need to resolve is whether to do this transformation before or after
macro expansion. Doing it before has the advantage of shielding macro
writers from a non-sexp syntax. However it has the possible
disadvantage that there's now a disconnect between the forms of the
code as written (and read by the Lisp reader) and the forms seen by a
macro. However, that's arguably no different from the disconnect
introduced by CL:QUOTE
so maybe we don't need to worry about
it.
5. The actual argument list parsing needs to be a bit more sophisticated than what is shown here but not a lot more. The specific syntax shown here is also just for illustration--we can fight about the exact syntax later.
6. The actual name
will, of course, be gensymed. We have to put the actual body in a
separate function to allow mutually recursive BioBike functions--if we
put the body from the DEFINE-FUNCTION
form directly into the
macro expansion and it contained "calls" to itself or to another
BioBike function (i.e. macro) that contained calls to the original
function (macro) the macro expansion would never terminate.
7. From a Lisp point of view, one way to look at this is that we're providing a purely interpreted language (semantically speaking) but that our technique for interpretation uses just in time compilation.
8. Strictly speaking, FOO
only
needs to be recompiled if the argument parsing (macro) part of
BAR
has changed. The JIT may be able to detect that, and avoid
unnecessary recompilation but that is an implementation detail.
9. Because the JIT will have to keep fairly detailed dependency information to implement this feature, we will also probably provide a way to browse that information. Then the user can check for semantic consistency between callers and callees after making changes, even in code that is syntactically consistent.

2021 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 offers 89 horsepower per seat
The V8-powered seven-seater hits 60 mph in 4.1 seconds
by Ronan GlonIntroduced at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 ticks two boxes rarely found on the same specifications sheet. It seats seven, and it offers over 600 horsepower.
AMG dropped its ubiquitous 4.0-liter V8 in the engine bay. The engine is twin-turbocharged to develop 603 horsepower between 5,750 and 6,500 rpm and 627 pound-feet of torque from 2,500 to 4,500 rpm, but a 48-volt starter-generator briefly injects an additional 21 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque into the driveline. All told, the behemoth accelerates from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 4.1 seconds, and cruises at up to 174 mph on the German autobahn. 4Matic all-wheel drive and a nine-speed, paddle-shifted automatic transmission channel the eight-cylinder's output to the pavement.
In addition to providing more power, the 48-volt electrical system keeps fuel economy in check, and it juices up the Active Ride Control technology that offsets body roll. AMG also added speed-sensitive power steering, plus a beefier braking system consisting of 15.7-inch front discs gripped by six-piston calipers and 14.6-inch rear rotors plus single-piston calipers on the rear axle.
There are plenty of 600-plus-horsepower cars on the market, it's a number that has become a new benchmark in recent years, but the GLS 63 is the only one that comfortably seats seven adults. The front passengers sit on AMG seats that offer more lateral support than the ones found in the standard GLS, and the driver faces a model-specific instrument cluster with redesigned graphics and a lap timer. Heated first- and second-row seats come standard, as does a 12.3-inch touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system. Customers can order a heated third-row seat at an extra cost.
The GLS 63 wears an immense version of AMG's signature Panamericana grille positioned above a redesigned lower bumper. Wheel arch extensions, side skirts, a rear air diffuser, and quad exhaust tips round out the look. It's relatively low key, even when riding on the optional 23-inch alloy wheels.
Pricing information hasn't been released yet, but don't expect the 2021 GLS 63 to come cheap. Keep in mind Mercedes-Benz charged $126,150 for the outgoing GLS 63, which bucked the downsizing trend with a mighty 5.5-liter V8. American deliveries will begin halfway through 2020.

Who will buy Napoleon's boots?
by RFIA pair of boots worn by Napoleon when he was in exile is expected to fetch up to 80.000 euros at a sale in Paris' Drouot auction rooms later this month.
A pair of boots worn by Napoleon during his final exile in St. Helena are to go under the hammer in Paris later this month.
The size 40 boots (roughly seven in British measure) were given to a sculptor working on an equestrian statue of Bonaparte by General Henri Gatien Bertrand, who had followed the French leader into exile on the far-flung South Atlantic island after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, auctioneers said.
The shoes are expected to fetch between 50,000 and 80,000 euros (£69,000) when they are sold at the Drouot auction rooms on November 29.
Napoleon had a large collection of footwear, which he bought from the Paris shoemakers Jacques in Montmartre.
Although British propagandists often caricatured the Corsican as an authoritarian midget, at 1.69 metres (five foot two inches) he was actually above average height for his time.
The boots were gifted by the son of sculptor Carlo Marochetti to the French politician Paul Le Roux, a minister under the Second Empire of Bonaparte's nephew, Napoleon III.
His family has kept them since, said auctioneers Binoche & Giquello.
General Bertrand returned to France after the death of his beloved leader in 1821. Many French people still suspect Napoleon was poisoned by his British jailors.
