incfg is a small C++ library to easily manage program configuration options (aka. command line arguments, program options, etc).
incfg handles configuration options simply as key-value pairs whose keys are defined and checked at compile time and values are gathered automatically just before the program starts (ie. before the execution of main()
).
Once defined, the presence and type of a key-value pair is guaranteed at compile time so that it can be used throughout the code with minimal effort. (See Usage Example below for a quick start).
Configuration values can be loaded from a "configuration string" like:
or via classic argv, argc
command-line string arrays.
Type conversion (from a type T
to/from std::string
) is handled automatically via std::stringstream
or can be extended easily for custom types.
Usage Example
Suppose that we have a function
in which we foresee to use 3 configuration options:
- An
unsigned int BUFFER_SIZE
option for the file copy algorithm (default value 4096) - A
bool DEBUG_LOG
option to enable/disable debug logging (default valuefalse
) - A
std::string LOGFILENAME
option to specify the log file name (default value"log.txt"
)
We start by declaring the options we need before the function definition:
The INCFG_REQUIRE()
macro registers a new configuration option by specifying:
- A type
- A name (the key)
- A default value (must be castable to the type specified before)
- A string describing the configuration option (Used to generate the configuration string/file automatically)
At this point, options can be freely (and safely!) retrieved inside the function body:
Each time INCFG_GET()
macro is used, the existence of the requested key is guaranteed with a value that can be either its default value or something else (if the associated value changed during the program execution).
Loading configuration options from a string (or file)
One of the key features of incfg is that the list of configuration options is known before the program execution. As a consequence, a configuration string can be automatically generated with all the options required by the program. The incfg::ConfigOptions
singleton class is used to manage the options list. For example, to generate a configuration string (that can be optionally saved to a file)
With the options defined before, the following config.txt
will be generated:
As you may expect, the same incfg::ConfigOptions
singleton can be used to load config options values from a configuration string:
Loading configuration options from command-line
Configuration options can be loaded from command-line by passing the command line options given in argc
and argv
:
Each option key is prepended by a double dash and followed by its value. For the example given before, a correct command line would be:
Customizing configuration option types
Each configuration option is saved/loaded as a string. By default the conversion between an option type and a string is handled by std::stringstream
but uncommon types can be handled as well by defining the two template functions:
Installing
Just import incfg.hpp
and incfg.cpp

The only logical step after last week's Springsteen edition is these fellas. (Well, logic and the fact that I'm still alarmingly short on time just before the Easter break and need to come up with something quickly. Almost time to come up for air.)
First, taking on Damien Rice's 9 Crimes.
Second, adding some feeling to Kelly Clarkson's I Do Not Hook Up.
Apart from being the heir apparent to Bruce, Brian Fallon... er, Gaslight Anthem is a prolific covers band. There's tons of good stuff waiting for you, just a simple youtube or Google search away.

Welcome to ionsrcopt’s documentation!¶
What is this package?¶
This package was developed in the CERN BE-ABP-HSL department to study the operation of the Linac3 GTS ECR ion source.
The main goal is to understand, whether there were certain settings that were used for long periods of time and lead to a stable source. For this a cluster analysis was performed to identify groups of similar settings and their duration and influence on different source properties such as stability and HT voltage breakdown rate.
This package provides all tools that were used for this analysis so that it can also be carried out for future runs.
This documentation is written to be read side by side with the code to facilitate the understanding, because most scripts need the user to set parameters in the code and don’t support a command line only usage. Everything was used on Linux/Ubuntu, however it should run on Windows and Mac too.


Sorry, these tests don't work when run from GitHub in IE9/10. This is due to GH serving JS files as text/plain, rather than text/javascript which triggers SEC-7112

In 2011 Seagate Technology made a big push for extending their cloud disaster recovery services. The goal was to create a self-service web portal where users will independently setup and execute their disaster recovery plans.
A year later, development on Seagate EVault Web Access, a web application for centralized management of backup data on the cloud, started.
In the summer of 2012 I was hired as a full time a UX designer and web developer and to oversee the user experience of the application.
My objective was to advocate for the users by utilizing user-centered design methodologies when designing new or improving existing features for the product. My daily tasks included user analysis, requirements specification, application design and usability testing. I was also driving the creation, maintenance and enforcement of UI standards for the application and mentoring the rest of the team on usability principles and user experience.
I set a personal goal to make sure everyone on my team understands that design and user experience are everyone's responsibility.
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works"
Steve Jobs
The idea for a centralized backup management in large organizations was very interesting to me. Everyone on the team was very passionate about this project and there were many mediocre tools out there, so I set out to make Web Access the best user experience backup management tool on the market.
The company's plan to not offer an exhaustive amount of features, but release a small, well thought-out feature set early on and then consult the users on what they feel should be the next steps, aligned perfectly with how I envisioned the development of the project.
The brand new Web Access application was intended to replace a few other products. As a consequence, it had to do at least everything all the other applications did.
The team originally tasked with developing it was mainly consisted of software engineers whose expertise was server-side architecture. To this team user interfaces were an obstacle that nobody wanted to tackle, so as little time and effort as possible was spent on designing and developing the UI for the application. As a result, the UI and workflows were a replica of the ones found in the products scheduled for retirement. Most workflows were either redundant or overly complex, and the UI was sloppy and inconsistent throughout the application. Web Access felt unprofessional and dated even before the application's go-live date, scheduled for 5 months later when hundreds of customers were expecting a modern application.
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
My first task was driving the UI redesign and optimization of the existing workflows. I had to stop the bleeding before it was too late.
I did functional and competitive analysis of the application, outlined problematic workflows and prioritized their refactoring order based on severity and user impact. I redesigned the UI by creating high fidelity prototypes that I used to to convey my vision. I explained and defended my design decisions to the product stakeholders and upon having the design approved, I lead the UI refactoring and coordinated the validation.
I familiarized myself with competitor products analyzed how similar tasks are performed.
I conducted systematic interviews to understand expectations and identify pain points users have when using the existing in-house and similar competitor products.
I created interactive wireframes and prototypes to describe the product vision and content strategy.
I worked with a team of developers and quality assurance analysts to make sure that the redesign has a minimal impact on ongoing development efforts and product launch date isn't affected.
I identified and optimized sub-optimal workflows and designed more functional layouts, controls and validation. I created precise UI specifications and conducted user testing and analyzed results, as well as collected user feedback.
I lead and hands-on participated in the re-writing of the entire UI layer. I created reusable HTML templates and refactored and normalized scripts and stylesheets.
I prepared questionnaires and conducted user interviews with target users - customers using the already existing in-house products, as well as technical support analysts familiar with both internal and competitor products.
The most overwhelming response I got was that the users don't like to spend any more time using the application than they absolutely have to and that they don't want to be looking for information, but expect to see it with no effort in "logical places". This suggested that workflow optimization and contextualization had to be my top priority. I had to eliminate all redundancy and show as much relevant information at once.
When asked how important the attractiveness of the application is on a scale from 1 to 10, to my surprise, approximately 75% of the interviewees answered 4 or below and only about 15% rated attractive UIs at 7 or above.
So I did a visual exercise with the same users, showing them screen shots of 2 applications that serve identical purpose - the original Web Access and my high fidelity prototypes, which I considered visually superior - it was precise, consistent, symmetrical and less cluttered. The result - around 80% picked the prototype as their choice and the rest said could go either way. Nobody was adamant about choosing what I considered the inferior UI.
It was clear that our users valued aesthetics even though they weren't specifically asking for it. But the aesthetics could not be getting in the way of the tasks the users were trying to achieve.
When asked about things they would improve in competitor's products, a common suggestion was to create ability for bulk actions task automation. This only reaffirmed the findings from the competitive analysis.
Although 75% of users stated they didn't care about how visually pleasing the user interface was,
80% went for a superior one when asked to choose between two.
User interviews delivered a clear message - workflows had to be simplified and more information had to find it's way in relevant locations. Additionally, users responded positively to the enhanced UI, so a visual face-lift was imminent.
One problem with the existing UI was the disregard for screen real estate. As this application was originally only intended to run in a web browser on a desktop computer, preserving screen real estate and responsiveness were never taken into consideration. The poor scalability of the UI however, became apparent as the application functionality grew, especially on smaller screens.
I designed scalable and reusable controls such as drop-down menus, date and time pickers and popup windows. I also created responsive layouts that would scale the UI for different devices. This resulted in more optimal space utilization for all device types.
One of the features that got copied over from the old products almost verbatim was the reporting mechanism. The reports consisted of large quantities of data displayed to the user in tabular format with almost no interactivity. Data could be sorted but not searched, and as the amount of data grew, it's value diminished as it was becoming almost impossible to interpret.
The reporting feature was going to be one of the most frequently used, as users would be able to link the reported data to their billing.
In the user interviews I learned that the users would appreciate a way to filter and sort their data.
From previous experience, even with improved searching and sorting and a more precise UI, I knew large amounts of data in tabular format are likely to produce inferior user experience. Additionally, if not implemented really well, browser sluggishness would probably render the reports useless.
So I set out to aggregate the data and present it as an interactive graph.
I prototyped how large amounts of reporting data would be most effectively scaled down to a report chart and created a low fidelity functional mockup to better support the design.
Despite the quickly approaching launch date, this new and unplanned feature was given an easy green light.
This was one feature everyone fell in love with and users quickly abandoned the tabular reports even though they offered everything the users themselves asked for.
When analyzing user feedback, I discovered a major pain point in Web Access. Any time a backup process completes unsuccessfully, an administrator needs to go through the generated log files and see why the process failed. What caught my attention were the steps needed to get the information sought after in the log files.
This was a very manual and tedious process, requiring constant switching between multiple application and juggling multiple error codes at once.
It had to go!
My goal was to design a log viewer that would be the last place an administrator goes for information, and do it in a way that will require minimal effort.
I created an option to easily filter out error codes from the rest of the log content. This reduced the number of lines an admin sees on average by 95%. I further added more interactivity to the log viewer - the number of search results was given to the user by simply clicking or hovering on the error code. A second click would load the list of search results in a dynamic pane and a third would load the content of the clicked search result in another dynamic pane, all in the same window without any context switching.
No more searching through thousands of lines of text, switching between application, juggling error codes.
Success! No more frustration trying to understand why something failed. The new log viewer became one of the most loved features of Web Access.
I documented the design so that developers can recreate and populate layouts easily, ensuring consistent look throughout the application.
Similar documentation for use of typography, images, validation messages and other reusable web components was created.
The biggest challenge I faced was balancing the expectations different stakeholders had. At almost every design iteration the feedback received from all involved parties would range from slightly contradictory to completely opposite.
For example, many of the users preferred context driven menus because it would speed up navigation. The product owners insisted on static menus because it improves the application discoverability.
The solution was often a compromise. In this case, I created static menus in which non-applicable items are disabled and pushed to the bottom and the relevant items are highlighted and at the top.
I try to do a small usability study upon every release. I ask users to run through newly created workflows and observe if and where they stumble. I encourage them to think aloud and explain how they make choices about what they do. I also ask for, receive and analyze feedback from customers and document findings.
Ever since the initial launch, Seagate EVault Web Access has been greatly accepted by the users. Steep voluntary conversion rate allowed the company to retire certain products ahead of schedule, with the last one scheduled to be retired by 2016. With that, Web Access is set to become Seagate's only web application for managing cloud backup processes.
Users want to login, finish their tasks and leave. Aesthetics is very important for the perception of quality, but if there is a finite amount of time for design and development, the user will never prefer to have a "prettier" interface that is less efficient.
So design for function first, but keep beauty a close second.
... but they know what they don't want.
So eliminate what they know they don't want, but don't be afraid to offer something different from what they are used to.
Any time a user needs to switch focus from one task to another, and then come back to the first one, the user experience suffers as does the user's productivity. This makes the user spend time with the application that they could have spent playing golf, and that goes back to the first lesson learned.
Creating and maintaining good user experience is a continuous and evolving process. On a daily basis I make sure that the new features added fit well with the rest of the product, both in terms of UI and workflows.
I continue to design major features, oversee their development, and gather and analyze feedback.
Seagate EVault Web Access is being used by thousands of users daily who depend on it to manage the backups for hundreds of thousands of workstations and servers. The product is constantly evolving, and while the experience the users have with Web Access allows it to stand with the best in the business, the job is far from done.

Lil Jon Detained In Vietnam Over $400K Worth Of Jewelry
by Justin IveyVietnam – Lil Jon had too much bling for his own good during his travels in Vietnam on Friday (November 15).
The King Of Crunk revealed he was detained for hours at Tan Son Nhat Int’l Airport due to not properly declaring his expensive jewelry. As a result, the United States Embassy had to get involved to help him leave the country.
“I was detained for about six hours because of my jewelry, which was also temporarily seized,” he said in a statement to XXL. “I was not aware that, when arriving, you have to declare any jewelry [gold, diamonds, rubies, etc.] that exceeds $12,000 US dollars… and the jewelry I had with me was worth over $400,000.
“Immediately I told someone traveling with me to call the U.S. Embassy when it started to look like I wouldn’t be able to leave the country until the situation was resolved. U.S. Embassy reps came to the airport and we had a formal meeting with myself, them, and representatives from the Vietnamese government.”
The situation was eventually resolved, allowing Jon to travel to his scheduled gig in Macau.
“They agreed to let me go with a warning in good faith between the Vietnamese government and the U.S. government,” he noted. “After it was resolved, I caught the next flight to Macau for my show [that night] for the F1 Rac.
“I really wanna thank the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam again. It’s amazin’ to know that no matter where I travel in the world, if something happens…the U.S. Embassy’s got their citizens’ back! I’m super grateful to them.”
Check out some of Jon’s Instagram Stories posts recapping his detainment below.

Olympic Games and World Championships showcase the world’s most elite athletes. While medalists earn a significant premium over fourth place finishers, the margins of victory have become vanishingly small. This series of interactive visualizations
examines three stories from – and beyond – the edge. First, situated in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, you are invited to test hypothetical scenarios in which subsets of athletes improve their performance by thin margins. The second visualization
highlights a story from competitive swimming, where advances in swimsuit development effectively changed the parameters of the sport. Finally, you can relive the men's singles luge event at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Instead of two hours
of luge coverage, the animation runs the top eight athletes side-by-side on the track.
The 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea were among the most exciting sports events. 30 nations won medals in 102 sporting events. But what makes a winner? What are the margins of victory and of medaling? In other words, what does it take to be a winner? This visualization highlights how close some of the races were. Select options from dropdown menus to see how medals would change if athletes were marginally faster. In many cases, differences as small as 0.1% have would altered the final medal standings.
In 2009, the Adidas brand Arena unveiled the Arena X-Glide, a pure polyurethane competitive swimsuit that was fully impermeable and substantially reduced hydrodynamic drag. At the 2009 World Championships in Rome, where several athletes were using this latest technology,
acrimony ensued. Several swimmers, including some who had benefitted from the Speedo LZR Racer in 2008 and who, bound by contractual obligations, were not allowed to swim in the Adidas suit, expressed unfairness.
The focus on swimsuits
before and during the 2009 World Championships forced the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), the governing body of elite swimming, to issue new rules for swimsuit design. Specifically, full-body suits were no longer permitted and
materials were only to be textile fabrics that met specific thresholds of buoyancy and permeability. The full-length body suits of 2000 and the polyurethane materials in the LZR Racer of 2008 and Arena X-Glide of 2009 were banned effective
January 1, 2010.
A visualization of races at World Championships between 2003 and 2017 clearly shows the polyurethane suits of 2009 suits to be outliers. In all 16 events analyzed, swim times improved gradually between 2003 and
2007, then improved markedly in 2009. After full-body suits and non-textile materials were banned in 2010, swim times were much slower in 2011. Between 2011 and 2017, swim times steadily decreased at rates more consistent with the early 2000s.
Luge is a winter sliding sport in which one athlete, or a two-person team of athletes, lies face up on a racing sled and steers the sled down an ice track. The highest level of international competition is governed by the Fédération Internationale
de Luge de Course (FIL) and is carried out on artificially constructed tracks. At the Olympics, each athlete in a singles competition completes four runs of the course, and the aggregate time of the four runs is determined to the thousandth
of a second.
For the purposes of assessing the provisional standings of competitors while they are on the course, timing wands are placed at positions along the track. At the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, such ‘split times’
were taken at four locations along the track as well as at the finish line. Thus, a viewer watching the competition could get a sense of provisional standings as well as assess the impact of steering. For example, a steering error that brought
a sled into contact with a wall would show up in a subsequent split time comparison.
In PyeongChang, the men’s singles competition was held over two days: two runs on consecutive days. Forty athletes competed, each completing either
three or four runs of around 47–50 seconds per run. Thus, spread over two days, there were roughly two hours of actual racing, plus gaps between racers.
I wanted to meet several objectives in making a visualization of the men’s singles
competition. First, I wanted to shorten the time taken to view the competition, from two hours spread over two days down to less than one minute. Second, I wanted to display the results in a way that viewers could observe how close the racers
were at any time and could potentially see where athletes made up or lost ground on their competitors. To meet these objectives, I animated the top eight finishers, using split times, finishing times, and racing speeds published by the IOC.


Latifi will drive Williams F1 car in FP1 again: "That's good for the rhythm"
by Matt GrettonWilliams are yet to confirm who will line-up alongside George Russell in the 2020 F1 season, but it's looking more and more likely to be Nicholas Latifi. The Canadian will drive in a third straight FP1 session in Brazil.
Latifi will replace Robert Kubica in the first practice session of the weekend. The 24-year-old says it's good for his rhythm to be back out on track so often.
"I am excited to get another opportunity to jump back in the car in Brazil. It will be my third FP1 in a row, in such a short period of time, so that’s good for the rhythm. I drove in FP1 there last year, so I know the track and that will help me get up to speed," Latifi said.
"It is a unique circuit, and an older style compared to the more modern venues. It is smaller, tighter, but the track has a lot of character and has been on the calendar for a while. I’m looking forward to getting out there and experiencing it once again."
In total, this will be Latifi's sixth practice session of the season. He had a further five practice sessions under his belt with Force India/Racing Point in 2018. He currently sits 2nd in the Formula 2 championship standings with one round remaining.

THE BUTCHER BOY A film review by David N. Butterworth Copyright 1998 David N. Butterworth
***1/2 (out of ****)
Close your eyes for a moment, if you will, and imagine the sound of Stephen Rea's Gaelic brogue, silky smooth and Irish like a pint of Guinness.  An acerbic, sing-song metered voice that evokes the startling imagery and language of Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange." A voice that deliciously conjures scenes both porcine and puerile, like those out of "Delicatessen," or "The Tin Drum."
Imagine all of that, and you'll get a good sense of what you can expect from "The Butcher Boy." Imagine that and more.
Neil Jordan's latest film "stars" Rea in more ways than one. Rea, the accomplished Irish actor most notable from his star turn in Jordan's "The Crying Game," contributes a restrained and managed performance as Da Brady, a small town drunk in an unnamed Irish community in the 1960s. But it's his wall-to-wall narration as the butcher boy of the title, Da Brady's son, Francis, that makes Rea's "performance" worth watching, worth listening to.
And that's only half the fun.
Playing the young Francie Brady is newcomer Eamonn Owens and he is, without a doubt, a revelation. For as much as Rea's voiceover permeates almost every scene of "The Butcher Boy," Owens commands virtually every frame. It's impossible to take your eyes off him. With his crop of carrot-colored hair, ruddy complexion, and overall grubby appearance, Francie Brady is an unlikely hero, refusing to be done in by his alcoholic, trumpet-playing father, his depressive, suicidal mother, or the neighboring, bespectacled monster known as Mrs. Nugent (Fiona Shaw).
In fact, everything was OK until "the Nugent" came to town. Now, she poses as much a threat to the safety and security of town bully Francie and his best pal Joe (Alan Boyle) as the looming Commie menace ("The Butcher Boy" is set at a time when the fear of nuclear obliteration is first and foremost in the minds of many).
"Pigs!" screams Mrs. Nugent at the Brady menagerie. "You're all pigs!" It's the start of many a related image.
After Ma Brady is shipped off to the "garage" for psychiatric observation and Da Brady downs one bottle of whiskey too many, Francie finally loses grip of his fantasy world of cowboys and indians, the Lone Ranger, and other comicbook characters. Squealing like a stuck pig, Francie does "the likes o' that" on the Nugent's living room floor, and is himself whisked away to a very Catholic remand home for "boney arsed Bogmen," where his ever fertile imagination--and clever chicanery--runneth over.
Director Jordan's vivid treatment of Pat McCabe's nightmare novel produces a sometimes disturbing, dark comedy littered with surreal touches (such as Sinéad O'Connor playing the Virgin Mary). It's not as outlandish as the trailers make out; instead, this remarkable film focuses on the effects external influences have on the friendship between two boys (schoolboy chums in real life), allowing us to empathize with their plight in the presence of extraordinary behavior.
It's bleak and it's black but it's fundamentally very funny. Rea talks us through it, beautifully, and Owens drags us though it, admirably, and, in tandem with Jordan's sure hand, theirs are contributions to make "The Butcher Boy" a film worth savoring.

Telegram Bot Documentation¶
The telegram bot creates the interface that the user will interact with and is also in charge of integrating the different services (as can be seen in the Structure of the application section.
When asked for the most popular torrents of a category, on a specific date, this application will first of all ask the database service to see if we have a record, if yes then we just fetch it and return that to the user. If no record exists then the data is fetched from the Torrent service (only if the requested date it today, if not an error message is displayed to the user), after obtaining this data it is sent over to the database service so that it can be saved. Finally it is displayed to the user.
Required Authentication¶
The bot module needs to authenticate with the Telegram API by using an API key, which is provided when signing up as Telegram developer.
Bot Functions Documentation¶
The bot_helper module contains “helper” functions for the telegram bot. Basically these are all the functions that bot uses, but the main bot file bot_main only contains the code for setting up the proper callbacks: when a user inputs a comment via telegram, bot_main will ensure that the proper function from this file get invoked.
-
bot_helper.
get_dates_in_record
(limit=15) → List[source]¶ Here we do a request to the database service and get a list of the dates it has in record.
Parameters: limit – the maximum amount of records we want to fetch Returns: the list of records that the database service has
-
bot_helper.
get_information_for_category_on_date
(category: str, date='today') → str[source]¶ Get the information we have on a specific date for a specific category. This information is asked to the database service, and if the date is today and no information is found for the specified category then we ask the torrent service for that category information. Once we get it we then proceed to send it to the database service for storage.
This method is what the user calls if he/she wants to know the top torrents for a specifc category for a specific date.
Note that if the user asks for a date which we don’t have in the database then a message saying so is displayed to the user.
Parameters: - category – the category we want to get information about
- date – the date we want to get information about
Returns: the actual string of information to display to the user. This is either an error message or a message with all the top torrents for a specific category for a specific date.
-
bot_helper.
get_record_of_categories_on_date
(dt: str) → List[source]¶ Here we do a request to the database service and ask, for a specific date, which categories do we have records on
Parameters: dt – the date in YYYY-MM-DD format Returns: a list of categories for which we have a record for the specified date


What is this talk about?
We are going to look at how to avoid migrating snowflakes into the cloud, move on to how docker helps us build immutable architecture and what that helps us do. Then we will explore the vague outlines of a "data center operating system" and what we might expect when we end up running one.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes
- Carefully tended delicate snowflakes
- Manual configuration
- Prone to configuration drift
- Rebuilding is hard!
Cattle vs Pets
Cattle vs Pets
- Pets are given names like pussinboots
- Cattle are given names like web05
- Pets are unique, lovingly hand raised and cared for
- Cattle are identical to other cattle
- When pets are ill we nurse them back to health
- When cattle are ill we replace them
Puppet!
Puppet!
- All the things
- And friends
- Try to impose a consistent state onto a machine
- Ideally declarative
We promise to try hard!
- 20 people have ssh access
- People have to fix things in the middle of the night or under pressure
- Whenever anyone does anything they have to remember to puppet it
Moving legacy workloads to the cloud is hard work!
- Break your monolithic 15 year old app into microservices...
- You should be thinking about CAP for your data stores
- Cloud = Save money
- Cloud != rewriting the application as a microservice
CAP
Immutable architecture
- This is what puppet et. al. is trying to give us
- Chaos monkey
- Phoenix servers
- The environment is defined in code
- If you need to change _anything_ you create a new instance and destroy the old one
- What we need is a system that forces us to work in this way rather than make it optional
Immutable Architecture
Enter docker
- Process level container vs machine level container
- Well defined responsibilities
- Flattens dev/staging/prod/dr differences
- Portability
- Process encapsulation
- Speed (cf. traditional virtualisation)
- Efficient resource usage (shared Kernel, no heavy hypervisors)
Docker
The rise of docker
- Came from nowhere
- Hype!?
- Pulled all the bits together
- The bits have been coming together over the last 10 years
- namespaces, cgroups, LXC etc.
Rise of Docker
What docker helps us do
- Strongly favours building immutable systems (no ssh)
- This helps us do a number of other things better
Microservices
Cockcrofts definition: Loosely coupled service oriented architecture with bounded contexts
Microservices
- A suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms
- Services can be implemented with entirely different stacks
- Services can be developed, maintained, and updated independently
- use well defined APIs to communicate
- If a message bus is used then its likely to be lightweight (ZeroMQ vs ESB)
- Smart endpoints and dumb pipes
Netflix Microservices
Devops
- You build it you run it
- With docker its very clear who "owns" the service and who "owns" the platform the service runs on
- Because dev is like production the developer thinks about how it runs in production
Continuous delivery
- Automated Pipeline from developer commit to production deploy
- Requires Continuous Integration where every commit triggers all the tests
- Requires lots of tests
Continuous delivery antipatterns
- Deploying software manually
- Deploying to a production-like environment only after development is complete
- Manual configuration of production environments
- Docker makes it difficult to do any of these
Declarative vs Procedural
- Workflow results in immutable infrastructure
- Not immutable by design
- Dockerfiles are Procedural not Declarative
- cf. Puppet manifests
The docker ecosystem
- A proliferation of tools
- The shipping analogy
- Cranes, trains, container ships, forklifts
Docker ecosystem
The standards
- Open Container Initiative
- Cloud Native Computing Foundation
- Both Linux Foundation Projects
- OCI is Docker lead CNCF is Google/CoreOS lead
- OCI is focused on containers CNCF is focused above containers (orchestration, discovery etc.)
- Also Oracle, Microsoft, VMWare, IBM, AWS, Red Hat etc. etc.
The stakes
The stakes
- Are high!
- Everyone is looking at how to integrate docker into their platforms and roadmaps
- Clearly the expectation is that platforms that are good at running docker will be successful
- Jockeying for position
- Who gets to define how a major new area of computing is going to work
- Picking winners and losers is hard
Some important contenders
- Docker
- Kubernetes (google)
- CoreOS
- A lot of other systems (eg Apache Mesos, Openstack Magnum)
The data center (cloud) operating system
Like a normal operating system its about scheduling processes that need to run on a shared resource.
You don't have one of your cores dedicated to running firefox on a normal OS. Likewise in a cloud OS.
The stack
The stack
- The LAMP stack equivalent
- Linux - Docker - Kubernetes - O?
- Still in the process of forming
- Also etcd
- Building up from docker
- Building down from existing projects (Openstack, Mesos)
Kubernetes
- Shaping up as a key component of the stack
- Spawn of the borg
Borg
Borg
- Future is here its just not evenly distributed..
- 2 Billion containers/week
- Why is google open sourcing Kurbenetes?
The stacks
The stacks
- Lets review some of the stacks that are out there
- How should we think of these?
- Like distributions?
- Probably expect consolidation
- Like LAMP each component is useful on its own
Docker tools
- Docker engine
- Docker compose
- Docker swarm
- Bottom up approach
CoreOS
- Techtonic
- CoreOS (Linux)
- Docker / rkt
- Kubernetes
- Dashboard
The Red Hat stack
- LDKO
- Atomic
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Openshift (v3)
Rancher
- RancherOS
- Docker
- ??
- Nice dashboard
Openstack
- We will be running containers _and_ legacy applications for a long time
- Hybrid
- A management plane for bare metal, virtualised compute and containers
- Magnum - LDK(Horizon)
- Docker nova driver
- Roll your own on compute
Apache Mesos
- Mesosphere/Marathon/Chronos
- Works well with other Apache big data projects
- DCOS
- Unified management of physical, virtual or cloud
- Supports Docker and Kubernetes
- Partnership with Azure
VMWare
- Docker with the VMware ESX hypervisor
- VMware vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC)
- Pivotal Cloud Foundary
Ubuntu
- Most popular OS on public and private clouds
- LXD/LXC
- Snappy
- Juju
Microsoft
- See other talk ...
- Porting docker
- Linux first class citizen on Azure
- Mesosphere partnerships
Public clouds
- AWS - EC2 Container Service
- Google Cloud Platform - GCE - Kubernetes under the hood
- Azure - See other talk ...
- Openstack based public clouds
The Others
- Oracle ... Solaris zones since ages ago
- Cloud Foundary (Deis PaaS - CoreOS/Docker/etcd/nginx)
What we need
- A catchy name
- Namespaces and cgroups for the data center
- Scheduling, service discovery etc.
- Can you securely run multiple tenants on the same generic infrastructure?
- If its not multi tenant then its a smaller win ... idle resources
- Lots of other stuff eg properly signed images!
- Declaritive configuration?
What will it look like?
- Complexity++
- Easier for large entities (cf. google)
- Harder to keep track of whats running where, perhaps not?
- Pets vs. Cattle vs. Bacteria??
- Will microkernels work for the data center OS?
- Many containers
How will it change what we do?
- More ops in dev teams
- Infrastructure ops running generic platform (cf. openstack).
- Smaller teams focusing on services
- Building apps by plugging in services
- Move to NoSQL and other distributed friendly data stores
- Will the distribution survive
How will it change what we do?
- Services shared between clients?
- Easier to upgrade to newer technologies and languages
- Services designed to function on generic resources (no more snowflake hardware)
- Efficient scale out (by service not machine)
- Better resource utilisation
- We all become public cloud consumers?
Whats the opportunity?
- Competitive advantage
- Do we want devops, continuous delivery etc?
- Do we want to be on the right side of history (Jim Zemlin)?
- We have seen things like this before, The Internet, Linux, catch the wave

by Ruth WeissmannA couple stabbed each other during a lover’s spat in the Bronx Saturday, police said.
The couple was squabbling inside a home on Eastchester Road near Givan Avenue in Eastchester just before 7 a.m. when their argument took a violent turn, officials said.
The man, who is in his 40’s, was stabbed in the chest during the quarrel, while the woman was stabbed in the hand, cops said.
It was not immediately clear what started the fight.
The couple was transported to Jacobi Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.


Second man arrested in connection with Blackburn hit and run which resulted in the death of a 36-year-old mum
by Sean GleavesA second man wanted by police in connection with the hit and run death of a Blackburn mum has been arrested.
Dean Qayum, 20, was arrested this morning (Monday, November 25) on suspicion of murder following the death of Alison McBlaine.
Miss McBlaine, 36, was fatally injured after a Fiat Punto Grande deliberately mounted the pavement in Whalley Banks, at the junction with Pearson Street, at 7.45pm on Tuesday, November 19.
She died on Thursday afternoon (November 21) with her family, including her 12-year-old son Reagan, at her bedside.
A second pedestrian, a man aged 26 from Blackburn, also sustained serious injuries in the collision.
Det Chf Insp Lee Wilson, of Lancashire Police, said: “My thoughts and those of the team engaged on this inquiry remain with Alison’s loved ones. Her family are being supported by trained officers at this difficult time.
“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to members of the public who have supported and responded to police appeals for help over the last few days.
"Nevertheless the investigation is at an early stage so if you have any information at all that might help and haven’t already spoken to us, we would like to hear from you as soon as possible.”
The car failed to stop at the scene of the collision and was later found on Lower Hollin Bank Street with significant front end damage.
Police said attempts had been made to set the vehicle on fire.
Three people were initially arrested by police on suspicion of murder.
Kaylib Connolly, 18, who was also wanted in relation to the investigation, was arrested yesterday (November 24) on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody at this time.

TASTE TEST
Glasgow punters sample new Scottish drink Alba Cola featuring Scots water and heather extract
by Aidan SmithA NEW Scottish cola is hitting the shelves just in time for St Andrew's Day.
Glaswegians Chris Ewing and Niall Holmes of the Caledonian Cola Company have launched the aptly named Alba Cola.
The drink is designed for people looking for a new cola drinking experience and a contemporary change from the big brands.
Made with lightly carbonated Scottish water and a buzz of heather botanicals, Alba Cola contains less sugar than large brands and comes packaged in a sleek black can with a gold unicorn, Scotland’s national animal on the front.
We took to the streets of Glasgow to give punters a taste of the new craft drink and get their thoughts on the fresh taste.
One person said: "Anything is better than normal coke especially if it's Scottish. I really liked it.
Another said: "It tastes alright, it's like Coca-Cola, but it's not.
"It tastes a bit like those weird botanical drinks from Tesco.

A third person added: "I can't quite work out the taste of it. It's not as sweet as normal coke which I like.
"There's like a floral herby feeling. It's nice I like it."
Another came to the conclusion: "It's different, it tastes a wee bit flat. Maybe it's not cold enough."
Another member of the public agreed with the flat verdict: "It's actually not bad. It's flatter than normal coke but it's alright."
And our final sampler thought it was a bit like cider: "It tastes different, it has a kick to it. It is flatter but I think it's more sour.
"It's not as sweet. Do I like it? Not so much.
"It has a more cider taste, but a non-alcoholic version. It's more like a juice than a something with fizz to it."
The idea for the soft drink was born when entrepreneur and ex-Motherwell footballer Chris noticed the popularity of regional colas in France.
He got together with musician Niall who had been working in the food and drink industry for over 15 years.
Together they tasted and tweaked the recipe to perfectly balance the heather botanicals in the cola and are now launching what they deem the best cola around.
Chris explained: “People in France would frequently ask for a cola made from their region over the big brands and I knew there would be a market for the same kind of thing from Scotland with its own wonderful food and drink and culture.
“Consumers are drinking less alcohol and looking for new premium soft drinks or mixer experiences.
“It’s a drink to be shared and enjoyed with friends made using some of Scotland’s best natural ingredients, our untouched water and botanicals from one of our most iconic plants.
"They work so well together in a cola!”
Niall added: “We are very excited to introduce Alba Cola to the thriving food and drink industry here in Scotland.
"The reception we are getting when people see and taste it is fantastic.
“It really is such a versatile cola with a refreshing taste and we look forward to seeing what people think of the world’s favourite soft drink reinvented with a premium Scottish twist.”
Alba Cola is currently stocked in a range of independent retailers, cafes and bars around Scotland.

| data IO a |
There is really only one way to ”perform” an I/O action: bind it to Main.main in your program. When your program is run, the I/O will be performed. It isn’t possible to perform I/O from an arbitrary function, unless that function is itself in the IO monad and called at some point, directly or indirectly, from Main.main.
IO is a monad, so IO actions can be combined using either the do-notation or the >> and >>= operations from the Monad class.
| instance Monad IO |
| instance Functor IO |
| type FilePath = String |
| data Handle |
Most handles will also have a current I/O position indicating where the next input or output operation will occur. A handle is readable if it manages only input or both input and output; likewise, it is writable if it manages only output or both input and output. A handle is open when first allocated. Once it is closed it can no longer be used for either input or output, though an implementation cannot re-use its storage while references remain to it. Handles are in the Show and Eq classes. The string produced by showing a handle is system dependent; it should include enough information to identify the handle for debugging. A handle is equal according to == only to itself; no attempt is made to compare the internal state of different handles for equality.
| instance Eq Handle |
| instance Show Handle |
Three handles are allocated during program initialisation, and are initially open.
| stdin :: Handle |
| stdout :: Handle |
| stderr :: Handle |
| withFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> (Handle -> IO r) -> IO r |
| openFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO Handle |
If the file does not exist and it is opened for output, it should be created as a new file. If mode is WriteMode and the file already exists, then it should be truncated to zero length. Some operating systems delete empty files, so there is no guarantee that the file will exist following an openFile with modeWriteMode unless it is subsequently written to successfully. The handle is positioned at the end of the file if mode is AppendMode, and otherwise at the beginning (in which case its internal position is 0). The initial buffer mode is implementation-dependent.
This operation may fail with:
| data IOMode |
| = | ReadMode | |
| | | WriteMode | |
| | | AppendMode | |
| | | ReadWriteMode | |
See System.IO.openFile
| instance Enum IOMode |
| instance Eq IOMode |
| instance Ord IOMode |
| instance Read IOMode |
| instance Show IOMode |
| instance Ix IOMode |
| hClose :: Handle -> IO () |
These functions are also exported by the Prelude.
| readFile :: FilePath -> IO String |
| writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO () |
| appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO () |
Note that writeFile and appendFile write a literal string to a file. To write a value of any printable type, as with print, use the show function to convert the value to a string first.
Implementations should enforce as far as possible, at least locally to the Haskell process, multiple-reader single-writer locking on files. That is, there may either be many handles on the same file which manage input, or just one handle on the file which manages output. If any open or semi-closed handle is managing a file for output, no new handle can be allocated for that file. If any open or semi-closed handle is managing a file for input, new handles can only be allocated if they do not manage output. Whether two files are the same is implementation-dependent, but they should normally be the same if they have the same absolute path name and neither has been renamed, for example.
Warning: the readFile operation holds a semi-closed handle on the file until the entire contents of the file have been consumed. It follows that an attempt to write to a file (using writeFile, for example) that was earlier opened by readFile will usually result in failure with System.IO.Error.isAlreadyInUseError.
| hFileSize :: Handle -> IO Integer |
| hSetFileSize :: Handle -> Integer -> IO () |
| hIsEOF :: Handle -> IO Bool |
NOTE: hIsEOF may block, because it has to attempt to read from the stream to determine whether there is any more data to be read.
| isEOF :: IO Bool |
| data BufferMode |
Three kinds of buffering are supported: line-buffering, block-buffering or no-buffering. These modes have the following effects. For output, items are written out, or flushed, from the internal buffer according to the buffer mode:
An implementation is free to flush the buffer more frequently, but not less frequently, than specified above. The output buffer is emptied as soon as it has been written out.
Similarly, input occurs according to the buffer mode for the handle:
The default buffering mode when a handle is opened is implementation-dependent and may depend on the file system object which is attached to that handle. For most implementations, physical files will normally be block-buffered and terminals will normally be line-buffered.
| instance Eq BufferMode |
| instance Ord BufferMode |
| instance Read BufferMode |
| instance Show BufferMode |
| hSetBuffering :: Handle -> BufferMode -> IO () |
If the buffer mode is changed from BlockBuffering or LineBuffering to NoBuffering, then
This operation may fail with:
| hGetBuffering :: Handle -> IO BufferMode |
| hFlush :: Handle -> IO () |
This operation may fail with:
| hGetPosn :: Handle -> IO HandlePosn |
| hSetPosn :: HandlePosn -> IO () |
This operation may fail with:
| data HandlePosn |
| instance Eq HandlePosn |
| instance Show HandlePosn |
| hSeek :: Handle -> SeekMode -> Integer -> IO () |
If hdl is block- or line-buffered, then seeking to a position which is not in the current buffer will first cause any items in the output buffer to be written to the device, and then cause the input buffer to be discarded. Some handles may not be seekable (see hIsSeekable), or only support a subset of the possible positioning operations (for instance, it may only be possible to seek to the end of a tape, or to a positive offset from the beginning or current position). It is not possible to set a negative I/O position, or for a physical file, an I/O position beyond the current end-of-file.
This operation may fail with:
| data SeekMode |
| = | AbsoluteSeek | the position of hdl is set to i. |
| | | RelativeSeek | the position of hdl is set to offset i from the current position. |
| | | SeekFromEnd | the position of hdl is set to offset i from the end of the file. |
A mode that determines the effect of hSeekhdl mode i.
| instance Enum SeekMode |
| instance Eq SeekMode |
| instance Ord SeekMode |
| instance Read SeekMode |
| instance Show SeekMode |
| instance Ix SeekMode |
| hTell :: Handle -> IO Integer |
This operation may fail with:
Each of these operations returns True if the handle has the the specified property, or False otherwise.
| hIsTerminalDevice :: Handle -> IO Bool |
| hSetEcho :: Handle -> Bool -> IO () |
| hGetEcho :: Handle -> IO Bool |
| hShow :: Handle -> IO String |
| hWaitForInput :: Handle -> Int -> IO Bool |
If t is less than zero, then hWaitForInput waits indefinitely.
This operation may fail with:
| hReady :: Handle -> IO Bool |
This operation may fail with:
| hGetChar :: Handle -> IO Char |
This operation may fail with:
| hGetLine :: Handle -> IO String |
This operation may fail with:
If hGetLine encounters end-of-file at any other point while reading in a line, it is treated as a line terminator and the (partial) line is returned.
| hLookAhead :: Handle -> IO Char |
This operation may fail with:
| hGetContents :: Handle -> IO String |
Any operation that fails because a handle is closed, also fails if a handle is semi-closed. The only exception is hClose. A semi-closed handle becomes closed:
Once a semi-closed handle becomes closed, the contents of the associated list becomes fixed. The contents of this final list is only partially specified: it will contain at least all the items of the stream that were evaluated prior to the handle becoming closed.
Any I/O errors encountered while a handle is semi-closed are simply discarded.
This operation may fail with:
| hPutChar :: Handle -> Char -> IO () |
This operation may fail with:
| hPutStr :: Handle -> String -> IO () |
This operation may fail with:
| hPutStrLn :: Handle -> String -> IO () |
| hPrint :: Show a => Handle -> a -> IO () |
This operation may fail with:
These functions are also exported by the Prelude.
| interact :: (String -> String) -> IO () |
| putChar :: Char -> IO () |
| putStr :: String -> IO () |
| putStrLn :: String -> IO () |
| print :: Show a => a -> IO () |
For example, a program to print the first 20 integers and their powers of 2 could be written as:
| getChar :: IO Char |
| getLine :: IO String |
| getContents :: IO String |
| readIO :: Read a => String -> IO a |
| readLn :: Read a => IO a |


`PacemScheduleElement` is a comprehensive calendar component which wraps both calendar (date-based) and agenda (time-based) elements. ## Demo In the following example you can test navigation possibilities triggered by events both external and internal to the schedule. Example:
## Rules The `<pacem-schedule>` element in the above demo also contains a `<pacem-calendar-daysofweek-rule>` which only enables work days. Several rule constraint elements (hour-based, festivities-based, ...) will be rolled out in the forthcoming versions of **Pacem JS**. Disabled day- or time-slots can be set straight by assigning arrays (of type: `{ from?: Date, to?:Date }[]`) to the `disabledRanges` property of a schedule/agenda/calendar. ## Events Calendar **Events** (in the sense of **appointments**) can be added in the form of `<pacem-calendar-event>` child elements.

| is_abs_path {xfun} | R Documentation |
On Unix, check if the paths start with ‘/’ or ‘~’ (if they do, they
are absolute paths). On Windows, check if a path remains the same (via
xfun::same_path()
) if it is prepended with ‘./’ (if it
does, it is a relative path).

A vector of paths. |
A logical vector.

This sample webapp was generated by the Isis QuickStart archetype, configured to use Isis' wicket viewer.
By default the domain objects are persisted using JDO/DataNucleus objectstore, configured to persist to an in-memory HSQL/DB database.
To change the JDBC connection string, edit WEB-INF/persistor_datanucleus.properties. Also update the pom.xml for the appropriate JDBC driver.
To change the objectstore implementation, edit the WEB-INF/isis.properties file.
The wicket viewer initially is configured using Wicket's 'development' mode, and Isis' authentication and authorization modules are disabled. For deployment, typically Wicket viewer should be switched to 'deployment' mode, by editing WEB-INF/web.xml. Isis' authentication and authorization should also be enabled (again, by editing the WEB-INF/isis.properties config file).


A must read if you already used the SDK in the browser and want to switch now.
The authorization flow has to be done in the browser, so you'll need to get the access token from there and initialize Egnyte with the token.
The only auth method that can be successfully used server-side is the password grant, API.auth.requestTokenByPassword
which is available for "internal applications". (You need to become Egnyte partner to get a key for such an app)
All API methods work as described in main docs, below are descriptions of node-specific methods:
API.storage.storeFile
accepts a data stream instead of a blob. It also takes two optional arguments which are MIME type and size (in bytes) of stream.
var fileStream = fs.createReadStream('sample.txt')
egnyte.API.storage.path(pathFromRoot).storeFile(fileStream, "text/plain", 1105)
.then(function(filemeta){
//
})
API.storage.streamToChunks
splits a stream in chunks and uses chunked upload to send it to Egnyte. Accepts path, stream, optional mime type and optional chunk size. Chunk size defaults to 10KB but it can be as much as 100MB if you know the file's big.
Resolves to the same signature as storeFile
and fails if any chunk failed to upload.
var fileStream = fs.createReadStream('sample.txt')
egnyte.API.storage.path(pathFromRoot).streamToChunks(fileStream, "text/plain" )
.then(function(filemeta){
//
})
API.storage.getFileStream
a method that gets a response that can be used with streams. Use it instead of API.storage.download
This method resolves its promise to the response object of the API, with a paused data stream. This method also handles queueing and QPS limits transparently.
egnyte.API.storage.path(pathFromRoot).getFileStream()
.then(function(pausedResponse){
pausedResponse.pipe(whereverYouWant);
pausedResponse.resume(); //Be sure to resume the paused stream
});
The streams are handled by the request
npm module. The functionality of pausing and resuming streams was introduced in nodejsv0.10 and will not work in older versions.


What a responsive site is, and why responsiveness is important.
Responsive is when user access website from different devices with different resolutions, the website should render in different way to make the website more accessible.
Responsive is important, because if a big website is showed in small device, user has to zoom a lot to find what they want. And button and link should be adjusted for fingers to touch.
What mobile first design is, and why it's important.
Design website pages first for mobile screen, then use @media inquiry to adjust style to adapt bigger screen.
What frameworks are, and their pros and cons.
Framework is a set of concepts, and practice for dealing with a common type of problem.
Pros:
- Speeds up mock up process.
- Solution to common problem. Learn best practice.
- Having single set of code to resolve common problem makes maintaining various project more straightforward.
- Helpful collabrative work.
Cons:
- I don't learn to do it myself.
- Slower learning curve.
- Unused code leftover.
- Mixes content and style.
What a wireframe is and why we use it.
wireframe of desktop blog page
Wireframe is a graphic that consists of box and lines, which we used to design the structure of a website. We use it, because it breaks down a complex design into box structures, with which it is easier for us to code semantic html elements.
wireframe of desktop index page
wireframe of mobile index page
wireframe of mobile index page
The aspects of your wireframes you found difficult to implement, and why.
- The aspects of your wireframes you found difficult to implement, and why.
- I'd like the 3 columns per row displayed in desktop still display as 3 columns in mobile. That may need to modify Skeleton framework.
- Images rotator, which might need JavaScript to implement.


Enumerables
Enumerables are certain methods that process a list,
particularly Arrays []
.
These methods are special as they take a block as an argument.
For the moment it is not imperative to know what blocks really are.
We're going to focus how they look like, because they follow a specific "syntax pattern".
3.times do
puts "Olé"
end
Here we have a method called .times
which takes a block as an argument.
A block always starts with the keyword do
and requires (!) an end
.
The area between do
and end
we call the block body.
And that's basically how a block looks like! 💡
Olé Olé Olé
Depending on the method we define a block argument between two verticle bars |variable|
:
3.times do |x|
puts "The counter is currently at #{x}"
end
The counter is currently at 0 The counter is currently at 1 The counter is currently at 2
That argument is available in the block body and automatically contains a value (we'll learn about it later). 💅
Ruby has a second way to write blocks.
3.times { |x| puts "The counter is currently at #{x}" }
# is the same as
3.times do |x|
puts "The counter is currently at #{x}"
end
We suggest to use the do-end style as you're just beginning your Ruby journey.
Ruby provides nifty enumerable methods
that can be used on any kind of lists.
In the following slides we're going to take a look at these:
.each
.map
.find
or .detect
.find_all
or .select
For a complete list see Ruby's Documentation.
cities = ["Rome", "Oslo", "Vienna"]
cities.each do |city|
puts "I wanna visit #{city}!"
end
I wanna visit Rome! I wanna visit Oslo! I wanna visit Vienna!
| Block body | Return value |
|---|---|
| May contain anything | The input Array |
We do not use the return value since the it is the input Array itself.
foods = ["Cherry", "Kiwi", "Orange"]
uppercased_foods = foods.map do |fruit|
fruit.upcase
end
> uppercased_foods => ["CHERRY", "KIWI", "ORANGE"]
| Block body | Return value |
|---|---|
| Instructions how to modify the elements | A new Array containing the modified elements |
movies = ["Superman", "Wonder Woman", "Pretty Woman"]
movie = movies.find do |title|
title.include?("Woman")
end
> movie => "Wonder Woman"
| Block body | Return value |
|---|---|
| A boolean expression |
The first element where the boolean expression is true
|
artists = ["Beatles", "Madonna", "Bob Marley"]
b_artists = artists.find_all do |artist|
artist.start_with?("B")
end
> b_artists => ["Beatles", "Bob Marley"]
| Block body | Return value |
|---|---|
| A boolean expression |
All elements where the boolean expression is true
|
Enumerables are methods that...
A block starts with do
and ends with end
.
Depending on the method...
|variable|
...the documentation tells us how to use an enumerable.

--- layout: docs title: Deployment Guide short: deploy permalink: /docs/deploy/ author: matthewwang ---
This article tells you how to deploy your project to the Student Server Space, not how to submit it. To submit your code, first read our Submission Guide and submit your code, and then head back here to deploy it.
To clarify, submitted projects do not need to be deployed (they can be hosted externally).
This guide walks you through deployment on Student Server Space, or how to get your project up and running on our webserver.
 If part of your project doesn't adhere to these guidelines, we cannot accept it for deployment.
In addition, we need your project to contain all the files necessary for deployment: this repository contains an example of each file required, and a detailed description of each.
Finally, check that your project is supported by Student Server Space. As we're still developing a lot of the functionality in SSS, it's possible that your project isn't supported yet. Once you've checked off all of these things, you're ready to go!
