hardfork_prototype_0 - an early prototype of a Bitcoin hard fork
Technical Details
This last part discusses aspects of the HFP0 code in more detail.
NOTE: This part is still under construction. Things may change.
Preamble
"It was a lot of fun digging into the code to figure out how to implement this fork."
- 'rocks' about satoshisbitcoin, in the Bitcoin Forum thread "Announcement - Bitcoin project to full fork to flexible blocksizes"
Before I delve into the HFP0 code, a word of thanks to rocks, who inspired me to start digging into the Bitcoin code, and the kind members at the Bitcoin Forum without whose patient explanations and words of encouragement I wouldn't have been able to get started on this journey.
Through it, I met a number of people who are all interested to see Bitcoin succeed, scale on-chain and fulfil the vision that Satoshi offered in the whitepaper. I'm honored to be a part of this growing Bitcoin community, together we can overcome present obstacles and bring Bitcoin to more people in this world.
Before starting on this prototype, I had never looked seriously at the Bitcoin source code. I compiled it a few times, as I usually do with most software which I want to run. Fortunately Bitcoin is free software, released under the MIT license, and no-one can really take that freedom away easily (thank you Satoshi!) As such, anyone can fork the code, at any time. It's not that difficult, so why's no-one forked Bitcoin to upgrade the block size?
The answer is: people have tried, by asking nicely. For several years. The most widely used implementation is now in the hands of developers who have decided that a block size upgrade is not part of their short-term roadmap, even though the network is running close to capacity. This is their right as maintainers of their implementation, but it's the right of people who disagree to produce the code changes they want to see and run them.
Branches in the hardfork_prototype_0
repository
The initial HFP0 code release will be placed into a separate 'snapshot' branch named 'hfp0_mXXXXXX_tYYYYYYY
', where XXXXXX
and YYYYYYY
represent the mainnet and testnet trigger heights configured in the code.
When downloading with Git, make sure you don't select the 'develop' branch, as it only contains the historical Bitcoin code up to the commit where HFP0 development started (on March 7, 2016).
Use the hfp0_m666666_t9999999
branch instead, e.g:
$ git clone -b hfp0_m666666_t9999999 https://github.com/BTCfork/hardfork_prototype_0.git hfp0_m666666_t9999999
hardfork_prototype_0
is intended to be a repository of code snapshots instead of an active development repo. Active development will take place elsewhere from now on.
I may yet add additional snapshot branches if I decide it is helpful to demonstrate something using this prototype. In particular, I am experimenting with signature changes for replay attack prevention and cleaner network separation.
GitHub issues and pull requests for this repo may be answered, but merges will not be done in hardfork_prototype_0
repo.
If someone provides a change, I will look at it, and if I deem it useful it might make it into some future snapshot.
If anyone wants to actively develop HFP0 further, please fork the snapshot you like and maintain it yourself.
Why a single huge commit?
This development was conducted privately while I was learning about the Bitcoin code, and the full commit history is long and messy. Up to the first code release there have been 317 commits since March 7, 2016. I still maintain several unclean experimental feature branches.
It would take large effort to straighten it out into a series of nice, atomic functional commits. I'm not even sure that's always entirely possible with this set of changes, at least not while keeping things compiling between certain commits.
Therefore, instead of trying to re-arrange the commit history, I have carefully marked modifications with tagged change markers that identify the functional area(s) to which a change is associated. This has been done where possible - for some files it is not possible as they permit no comments etc.
The marker tags should make it relatively easy to understand what a change is about and to focus on a set of changes of interest for review.
I agree with those who would have preferred a clean, public development with an easily understandable commit history. I'm sorry I couldn't provide that with this first prototype. My future work on improved spin-offs will be conducted using public repositories, and thus it should be easier to understand and review changes.
Why does it change so many files?
The short answer: because this is not a minimal fork.
It includes some quite hefty external changes:
- modified scrypt POW from satoshisbitcoin
- BitPay's adaptive block size
- MIDAS per-block difficulty retargeting algorithm
- Xtreme Thinblocks from Bitcoin Unlimited
- retrofit of active soft-fork BIPs 65,68,112,113
- test framework updates from Classic v1.1.0
A minimum viable fork (MVF) up to 2MB which does not change the POW would likely be based on a newer client version of Core/XT/Classic/BU which already has the BIPs and necessary test framework updates included. It would probably only need some difficulty algorithm adjustments from the list above.
There are large amounts of HFP0 debug traces left in the provided code, which would likely be removed for a proper release.
I haven't worked out exactly how much is left if traces were to be removed, the new POW code discarded and only the minimal forking changes tallied.
It doesn't make much sense to tally that up for HFP0, because certain features are missing or not implemented to the required degree (e.g. network separation, replay attack protection) and the test coverage is incomplete.
However, it is obvious that a viable non-minimal spin-off client will have substantial code changes.

There are also some Python files in qa/rpc-tests/test_framework
which have been
updated based on the Classic v1.1.0 code. In these files, not every Classic-related
change is marked - the files are marked generally with a single-line TST
marker comment
underneath the file header:
# HFP0 TST: merged test_framework update from Classic v1.1.0
Building
Build instructions for Classic 0.12.0 should work fine. Platforms I've compiled and tested on:
Debian 7 (x86_64 and i686), gcc 4.7.2
Debian 8 (x86_64), gcc 4.9.2
HFP0 adds a new configuration option: --disable-newpow
.
Unless you specify this option, the client is built to switch to the new POW at the trigger height.
If you specify --disable-newpow
, the fork keeps using Bitcoin's existing SHA256 after it triggers.
Test Status
What follows is a brief overview - I might update this with more detail later on.
I have tested this prototype only in an isolated test environment (using up to 4 VMs). Most of my testing was done using regtestnet, the regression test chain. It has NOT been tested on the real testnet or on mainnet.
The C++ unit tests (src/test/test_bitcoin
) should all pass.
You will see a message on standard output:
CreateAndProcessBlock: ProcessNewBlock, block not accepted
I added this message as a troubleshooting aid to see when a block was not accepted. It does not signify a test failure, and can be ignored.
Regression/integration tests can be run with qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
.
The tests bip68-sequence.py
and pruning.py
currently fail.
For bip68-sequence, it is presumed to be a policy code issue
that has been fixed in later versions of other clients (a similar issue
was present on Classic 0.12 builds, but has been fixed in Classic 1.1).
I have not identified the exact change that could fix it, but the
test failure is likely unrelated to changes made by HFP0.
The pruning test failure might be due to a presumed bug in how the fork handles re-orgs across its trigger, but it could also be something else.
Rudimentary hardfork / bigger block QA tests are implemented, but they are lacking in some test cases (re-orgs across the fork trigger height, and fine-grained testing around the trigger height). They also specify a soft block limit of 2MB, and don't exercise the theoretical maximum of even that soft limit. A more complete test should try to test up to MAX_BLOCK_SIZE without a soft block limit. This involves a substantial overhaul of the big block tests.
Adaptive block size tests are limited to the blocksizecalculator_tests
suite, and would need to be extended with more test cases and integration
tests.
There are no unit tests / regression tests for MIDAS yet.
I welcome any feedback from others who are able try out this prototype in their own test environments or on the actual testnet.
Further development
I will not develop this HFP0 prototype further to production readiness.
I consider it more important that Minimum Viable Forks are produced, with solid test coverage and requirements input from the wider community.
The BTCfork community (links below) is doing just that, working with users, developers and businesses in the Bitcoin space to develop improved forks, starting from MVFs and later hopefully supporting the development of fuller-featured fork candidates. I shall be working with them to bring viable forks to maturity.

Feedback on the code
If you wish to provide feedback on the code, feel free to use GitHub's comment features or raise issues.
I won't fix issues directly in the hardfork_prototype_0
repository,
but I may include fixes in future code snapshot, if any take place on this repo,
and I'll try to respond to any sensible comments there.
Alternatively, I've opened a Reddit thread in /r/btcfork to gather comments and questions.

AWS Lambda Function Code
Code
is a property of the AWS::Lambda::Function resource that specifies the code for a Lambda
function. For all runtimes, you can specify the location of a deployment package in
Amazon S3. For
Node.js and Python functions, you can also specify the function code inline in the
template.
Note
Changes to a deployment package in Amazon S3 are not detected automatically. To update the function code, change the object key, or use object versioning and change the version number in the template.
Syntax
JSON
{ "S3Bucket" :
String
, "S3Key" :String
, "S3ObjectVersion" :String
, "ZipFile" :String
}
YAML
S3Bucket:
String
S3Key:String
S3ObjectVersion:String
ZipFile:String
Properties
S3Bucket
-
An Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your function. The bucket can be in a different AWS account.
Note
The
cfn-response
module isn't available for source code that's stored in Amazon S3 buckets. To send responses, write your own functions.Required: Conditional. Specify both the
S3Bucket
andS3Key
properties, or specify theZipFile
property.Type: String
S3Key
-
The Amazon S3 key of the deployment package.
Required: Conditional. You must specify both the
S3Bucket
andS3Key
properties, or specify theZipFile
property.Type: String
S3ObjectVersion
-
For versioned objects, the version of the deployment package object to use.
Required: No
Type: String
ZipFile
-
(Node.js and Python) The source code of your Lambda function. If you include your function source inline with this parameter, AWS CloudFormation places it in a file named
index
and zips it to create a deployment package. For theHandler
property, the first part of the handler identifier must beindex
. For example,index.handler
.Your source code can contain up to 4096 characters. For JSON, you must escape quotes and special characters such as newline (
\n
) with a backslash.If you specify a function that interacts with an AWS CloudFormation custom resource, you don't have to write your own functions to send responses to the custom resource that invoked the function. AWS CloudFormation provides a response module that simplifies sending responses. For more information, see cfn-response Module.
Required: Conditional. You must specify both the
S3Bucket
andS3Key
properties, or specify theZipFile
property.Type: String
cfn-response
Module
When you use the ZipFile
property to specify your function's source code and
that function interacts with an AWS CloudFormation custom resource, you can load the
cfn-response
module to send responses to those resources. The module contains a
send
method, which sends a response
object to a custom resource by way of an Amazon S3 presigned URL (the
ResponseURL
).
After executing the send
method, the Lambda function terminates, so anything
you write after that method is ignored.
Note
The cfn-response
module is available only when you use the
ZipFile
property to write your source code. It isn't available for source
code that's stored in Amazon S3 buckets. For code in buckets, you must write your
own functions
to send responses.
Loading the cfn-response
Module
For Node.js functions, use the require()
function to load the
cfn-response
module. For example, the following code example creates a
cfn-response
object with the name response
:
var response = require('cfn-response');
For Python, use the import
statement to load the cfnresponse
module, as shown in the following example:
Note
Use this exact import statement. If you use other variants of the import statement, AWS CloudFormation doesn't include the response module.
import cfnresponse
send
Method Parameters
You can use the following parameters with the send
method.
event
-
The fields in a custom resource request.
context
-
An object, specific to Lambda functions, that you can use to specify when the function and any callbacks have completed execution, or to access information from within the Lambda execution environment. For more information, see Programming Model (Node.js) in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.
responseStatus
-
Whether the function successfully completed. Use the
cfnresponse
module constants to specify the status:SUCCESS
for successful executions andFAILED
for failed executions. responseData
-
The
Data
field of a custom resource response object. The data is a list of name-value pairs. physicalResourceId
-
Optional. The unique identifier of the custom resource that invoked the function. By default, the module uses the name of the Amazon CloudWatch Logs log stream that's associated with the Lambda function.
noEcho
-
Optional. Indicates whether to mask the output of the custom resource when it's retrieved by using the
Fn::GetAtt
function. If set totrue
, all returned values are masked with asterisks (*****). By default, this value isfalse
.
Examples
Node.js
In the following Node.js example, the inline Lambda function takes an input value
and
multiplies it by 5. Inline functions are especially useful for smaller functions because
they allow you to specify the source code directly in the template, instead of creating
a
package and uploading it to an Amazon S3 bucket. The function uses the
cfn-response
send
method to send the result back to the custom resource that invoked
it.
JSON
"ZipFile": { "Fn::Join": ["", [ "var response = require('cfn-response');", "exports.handler = function(event, context) {", " var input = parseInt(event.ResourceProperties.Input);", " var responseData = {Value: input * 5};", " response.send(event, context, response.SUCCESS, responseData);", "};" ]]}
YAML
ZipFile: > var response = require('cfn-response'); exports.handler = function(event, context) { var input = parseInt(event.ResourceProperties.Input); var responseData = {Value: input * 5}; response.send(event, context, response.SUCCESS, responseData); };
Python
In the following Python example, the inline Lambda function takes an integer value and multiplies it by 5.
JSON
"ZipFile" : { "Fn::Join" : ["\n", [ "import json", "import cfnresponse", "def handler(event, context):", " responseValue = int(event['ResourceProperties']['Input']) * 5", " responseData = {}", " responseData['Data'] = responseValue", " cfnresponse.send(event, context, cfnresponse.SUCCESS, responseData, \"CustomResourcePhysicalID\")" ]]}
YAML
ZipFile: | import json import cfnresponse def handler(event, context): responseValue = int(event['ResourceProperties']['Input']) * 5 responseData = {} responseData['Data'] = responseValue cfnresponse.send(event, context, cfnresponse.SUCCESS, responseData, "CustomResourcePhysicalID")
Module Source Code

Spells are bugging me.

It seems like 98% of the spells are AOE, and they're all very bright looking. Usually a game has mostly target-based spells then a couple AOE. It makes it feel entirely unlike Xenimus to me. I don't choose my target for heal and stuff. It's all AOE.
Another thing this leads to is not knowing which spell to choose. I have several good AOE spells that all do good damage, so I'm left wondering what to use to hunt with. Too many AOE to choose from XD
As for colors, there's no dark, evil looking spells (there's a lack of Black, Green, Purple, etc. in the spells)

More target based spells and more variation in AOE spell effects would be nice.. also Karl if its not to much trouble.. could you make the spell names in english, at least for alpha-testing so that we have a better idea of what the spell does.

Yeah. At this point I'd prefer "Big red bomb that killz stuffs" to "Ipsumin nexonium" x50 and not knowing what does what lol. That or a description next to each spell.

As an adept, you have all of the AOE spells for all of the classes so it can definitely be overwhelming. Each class will only have a few for each level range.
I'll add spell descriptions.
Target based spells will be added; the spell list is in no way complete

Psalm 84
For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely is the place where you live,
Yahweh of hosts!
2 I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted.
My heart and all of my being call out to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found her a house
and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young
near your altars, Yahweh of hosts,
my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they who live in your house;
they praise you continually.
Selah
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they find springs of water to drink.
The early rains cover it with pools of water.
7 They go from strength to strength;
every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer;
God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying!
Selah
9 God, watch over our shield;
show concern for your anointed.
10 For one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to live within the tents of the wicked.
11 For Yahweh God is our sun and shield;
Yahweh will give grace and glory;
he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.
12 Yahweh of hosts,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.


Sequence-to-Sequence models have made abstract summarization viable but they still suffer from issues like out of vocabulary words and repetitive sentences.
The paper proposes to overcome these limitations by using a hybrid Pointer-Generator network (to copy words from the source text) and a coverage vector that keeps track of content that has already been summarized so as to discourage repetition.
It is a hybrid model between the Sequence-to-Sequence network and Pointer Network such that when generating a word, the model decides whether the word would be generated using the softmax vocabulary (Sequence-to-Sequence) or using the source vocabulary (Pointer Network).
Since the model can choose a word from the source vocabulary, the issue of out of vocabulary words is handled.
The model maintains a coverage vector which is the sum of attention distributions over all previous decoder timesteps.
This coverage vector is fed as an input to the attention mechanism.
A coverage loss is added to prevent the model from repeatedly attending to the same word.
The idea is to capture how much coverage different words have already received from the attention mechanism.
Model when evaluated on CNN/Daily Mail summarization task, outperforms the state-of-the-art by at least 2 ROUGE points though it still does not outperform the lead-3 baseline.
Lead-3 baseline uses first 3 sentences as the summary of the article which should be a strong baseline given that the dataset is actually about news articles.
The model is initially trained without coverage and then finetuned with the coverage loss.
During training, the model first learns how to copy words and then how to generate words (pgen starts from 0.3 and converges to 0.53).
During testing, the model strongly prefers copying over generating (pgen = 0.17).
Further, whenever the model is at beginning of sentences or at the join between switched-together fragments, it prefers to generate a word instead of copying one from the source language.
The overall model is very simple, neat and interpretable and also performs well in practice.

In the loosely synchronous model, transfer of control to a parallel procedure is effected by having each executing process invoke the procedure. The invocation is a collective operation: it is executed by all processes in the execution group, and invocations are similarly ordered at all processes. However, the invocation need not be synchronized.
We say that a parallel procedure is active in a process if the process belongs to a group that may collectively execute the procedure, and some member of that group is currently executing the procedure code. If a parallel procedure is active in a process, then this process may be receiving messages pertaining to this procedure, even if it does not currently execute the code of this procedure.
This covers the case where, at any point in time, at most one invocation of a parallel procedure can be active at any process, and the group of executing processes is fixed. For example, all invocations of parallel procedures involve all processes, processes are single-threaded, and there are no recursive invocations.
In such a case, a communicator can be statically allocated to each procedure. The static allocation can be done in a preamble, as part of initialization code. If the parallel procedures can be organized into libraries, so that only one procedure of each library can be concurrently active in each processor, then it is sufficient to allocate one communicator per library.
Calls of parallel procedures are well-nested if a new parallel procedure is always invoked in a subset of a group executing the same parallel procedure. Thus, processes that execute the same parallel procedure have the same execution stack.
In such a case, a new communicator needs to be dynamically allocated for each new invocation of a parallel procedure. The allocation is done by the caller. A new communicator can be generated by a call to MPI_COMM_DUP, if the callee execution group is identical to the caller execution group, or by a call to MPI_COMM_SPLIT if the caller execution group is split into several subgroups executing distinct parallel routines. The new communicator is passed as an argument to the invoked routine.
The need for generating a new communicator at each invocation can be alleviated or avoided altogether in some cases: If the execution group is not split, then one can allocate a stack of communicators in a preamble, and next manage the stack in a way that mimics the stack of recursive calls.
One can also take advantage of the well-ordering property of communication to avoid confusing caller and callee communication, even if both use the same communicator. To do so, one needs to abide by the following two rules:
In the general case, there may be multiple concurrently active invocations of the same parallel procedure within the same group; invocations may not be well-nested. A new communicator needs to be created for each invocation. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that, should two distinct parallel procedures be invoked concurrently on overlapping sets of processes, then communicator creation be properly coordinated.

ELECTION
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Paramount Pictures Director: Alexander Payne Writer: Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor, novel by Tom Perrotta Cast: Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Klein, Jessica Campbell, Mark Harelik, Molly Hagan, Delaney Driscoll, Colleen Camp, Frankie Ingrassia
"Election" takes place in a high school but is not a teen flick. Directed by Alexander Payne and written by Payne and fellow satirist Jim Taylor, "Election" uses the setting of a secondary school in Omaha, Nebraska as a parable of life in America; specifically, about the craving that Americans have to succeed at all costs and the emptiness that triumph can bring to people who neglect other aspects of their lives. Its creators imply that what really counts are genuine friendship, true love, and modesty. As the song goes, "It's fine to be a genius of course,/ but keep that old horse before the cart,/ First you've gotta have heart."
Being the fine satirists that they are, Payne and Taylor-- whose well-cast 1996 film "Citizen Ruth" was also about the depraved nature of fanaticism--is never didactic. We do not feel we are receiving a lesson when we watch this ingenious piece, which is so well written and wonderfully acted that its comic moments come across unforced. You may go away from this sparkling picture resolved (at least for a day or so) to take yourself just a trifle less seriously while putting your ambition in perspective. Given regular reinforcement of other such films, you may wind up staying around on this earth a mite longer, enjoying yourself more, and cultivating a more sensible outlook on your life. That's quite a return on your eight dollars, but then, "Election" is not your ordinary Saturday night at the pictures.
This is not to say that the country's economy would grind to a halt if we all absorbed Payne and Taylor's purport. One character in the movie, Paul Metzler (Chris Klein), does become successful in gaining the school office that he seeks- -if only for a day or so--and he achieves his prominence while holding on to his modesty, his popularity, and his guileless aw-shucks attitude. "Election" is a spirited teen-dominated film that throws spitballs at Americans unlike Paul-- who will step on everyone in their way to gain power, who rigidly insist that their hard work signifies the correctness of their vision. Director Taylor levels his feature at nothing less than America's Puritan heritage, at the conviction that celebrity, riches and power will assure its adherents a place in heaven among God's elect.
"Election" centers on two people; Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick), a popular social studies teacher in his late thirties who acts as adviser to student government, and Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), a junior with an unwholesome impact on her teacher's life. There's a Tracy in every high school: in the movie "Rushmore," her protege would be Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), an overachiever who takes charge of virtually every extracurricular activity and, with his romantic pursuit of one of his school's instructors, appraises himself an adult. Tracy's is the hand that is always raised while others in the class are stymied. Her drive is all-encompassing enough to seduce her geometry teacher, Dave Novotny (Mark Harelik), thereby ruining his career. Her vigor and aggressiveness have adverse effects on Jim McAllister, who has been unable to get his wife pregnant and who is becoming increasingly irritated with his spouse's quirks. Though McAllister is smart enough, there are times that we think young Tracy knows more about him than he is aware of himself. Despite his popularity (he has been selected teacher-of-the-year three times, a school record), Tracy feels sorry for him: after all, he teaches the same subject year after year, and what person of reasonable faculties would not climb the walls after drawing a chalkboard diagram of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government for the seventy-fifth time? Tracy's vital sense of life becomes a malevolent influence on Jim, who will eventually self-destruct--though in ways far more comical than you would imagine.
The story is told with extensive narration, mostly in flashback, and centers on a school election. When no-one dares oppose the willful Tracy, McAllister is determined to thwart her drive to the top student office. He recruits a popular athlete, Paul Metzler (Chris Klein), a lad who is none too bright but who has high regard for McAllister and reluctantly agrees to run.  Had the film not been blessed by marvelous leading performances, Ms. Campbell could have stolen the show. Without for a moment expressly intending to be amusing, she brings down the house with her genuinely felt anarchism, though she can be touching as well when her love for another young woman goes unrequited.
Best of all is Reese Witherspoon--at 23 years of age a fast- rising star currently on the cover of trendy magazines like TimeOutNY. She knocks out a trenchant performance as a 17-year-old who thinks she has it all but deep in her soul realizes that she is missing life's most important reward: the sincere affection of her peers. Matthew Broderick comes on wonderfully as well as a kind of Willy Loman. Though unlike Arthur Miller's creation this Jim McAllister is confident of his choice of profession, he shares Willy's unawareness of the kind of man he really is.  Because "Election" is so well acted, so probing, directed with such a laid-back hand by a man with a perfect sense of comic timing, this movie is right up there with such terrific accomplishments as Todd Solondz's equally satiric classics, "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse."

Bill Belichick mocks social media usage at presser
by Matt BirchPatriots head coach Bill Belichick has made it clear over the years that he’s not really fond of social media, and he doesn’t seem to feel left out for not having an account on Twitter or Facebook.
In fact, Belichick favors steering clear of social media altogether — rather then getting caught up in the noise.
He was recently asked about his daily morning routines by a reporter, specifically if checking social media is one of his morning routines (playfully).
“Pretty much,” Belichick said, when asked about “SnapFace.” “See what happens and check it out. Absolutely — interact with everybody and see what they think, get my opinions out there.
“I don’t want to get left behind on that,” he continued. “Then brush my teeth.”
Classic BB.

Of Arrays and Hashes
March 12, 2015
Data structures are extremely important for programming. This is because the vast amounts of data and variables we need to store in increasingly complicated programs is extremely hard to organize and keep track of. In order to more effectively organize the data we must work with, we can put them into data structures like arrays and hashes. This allows us to easily manipulate the data in each separate structure in different ways, or pick and choose different items within to use. Let's take a look at what each of these structures are.
An array is a simple, ordered, collection of objects. The collection is organized by a simple integer index. We can thus store any sort of variable or string in the indexed slots, and we can call upon them or manipulate them as we wish. In the exercises we did this week, for example, we found the sum of all the numbers contained in example arrays, and we concatenated arrays of words into single strings. Being able to work with entire arrays of data at a time makes for much more efficient coding.
A hash is similar to an array, except that it does not use a an integer-based index. It simply has a key -> value system, where the key can be anything and the value can be anything. This seems like it will eventually have much more efficient uses, such as if we don't require an integer index to store the data we want to use.


This difficulty requires no special tricks or techniques and should be completable by anyone.
All items are present in their original quantities.
Approximately 50% of optional items are removed.
All optional items are removed. Good luck!

This tutorial shows you how to create a Kafka-consumer and -producer using kafka-streams java library.
What you'll learn
In project root, run gradle:
$ cd kafka-streams-avro-codelab
$ ./gradlew --offline build
or in Windows:
$ cd kafka-streams-avro-codelab
$ gradlew.bat --offline build
If everything is set up you should see
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in Xs
On NAV developer image: If you get an Connection refused
error when executing gradle, add a file named gradle.properties
in an folder named .gradle
in your home directory with the following content:
systemProp.proxySet=true
systemProp.http.proxyHost=webproxy-utvikler.nav.no
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8088
systemProp.https.proxyHost=webproxy-utvikler.nav.no
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8088
Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\gradle.properties
Linux and Mac: ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
In the project directory, there is a docker-compose.yml
file, navigate to the file and run docker-compose from the command line:
$ docker-compose up
This should start Zookeeper and a Kafka instances locally.

NavVisitorLocation is a topic produced to Kafka each time a visitor visits the nav.no front page. Each message is structured in an AVRO object with postal- and municipality information, example:
{"postnummer":"2005","stedsnavn":"RÆLINGEN","kommune":"0228"}
NavVisitorLocation
topic (See NavVisitorProducer.java in the project).NavVisitorAreaCounter
NavVisitorProducer.java
. This class should produce random postal location on a topic named NavVisitorLocation
. To get started we need to create Topics.docker run --net host confluentinc/cp-kafka kafka-topics --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 -topic NavVisitorLocation --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1
will create the topicdocker run --net host confluentinc/cp-kafka kafka-topics --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181 -topic NavVisitorLocation

}
NavVisitorAreaCounter
topic.final StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();
NavVisitorAreaCounter
.final StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();
final KStream<String, Poststed> poststedKStream = builder.stream("NavVisitorLocation");
We should now be able to consume records from Kafka.
Try it out by first start the consumer we just created (Run the main method in IntelliJ) and then start the producer, NavVisitorProducer
(Run the main method in IntelliJ).
If all looks good, go ahead to the next section.
Back to the task, for each record, we like to increase a counter for that area.
Kafka Streams DSL provides a high-level API for common data transformation operations such as map, filter, join, and aggregations out of the box.
For this tutorial we are going to use an KTable. A KTable is an abstraction of a changelog stream< from a primary-keyed table.
final KTable<String, Long> areaCounts = poststedKStream
.groupBy(new KeyValueMapper<String, Poststed, String>() {
@Override
public String apply(String key, Poststed poststed) {
return poststed.getStedsnavn(); // Group by stedsnavn
}
})
.count(); // Update the table with a count (stedsnavn is primary keyed)
In order to have a peek inside the ktable result we cant add a peek
method to areaCounts
areaCounts.toStream().peek(
(navn, teller) -> System.out.println("stedsnavn = [" + navn + "], teller = [" + teller + "]")
);
Try it out by starting the consumer (Run the main method in IntelliJ) and then start the producer. We should now be able to see area counts in the log message.
areaCounts.toStream().peek(
(navn, teller) -> System.out.println("stedsnavn = [" + navn + "], teller = [" + teller + "]")
).mapValues(new ValueMapperWithKey<String, Long, Resultat>() {
@Override
public Resultat apply(String poststed, Long teller) {
return new Resultat(poststed, teller); // map to result object
}
}).to("NavVisitorAreaCounter"); // produce the result back to Kafka as an stream
// and finally configure and start the stream
final KafkaStreams streams = new KafkaStreams(builder.build(), streamsConfiguration);
streams.cleanUp();
streams.start();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(streams::close));
docker run --net=host -it confluentinc/cp-schema-registry:latest kafka-avro-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:29092 --property schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081 --topic NavVisitorAreaCounter
This concludes this tutorial - but feel free to play around with the Kafka Streams API.

A WALK IN THE CLOUDS A film review by Joan Ellis Copyright 1995 Nebbadoon Syndicate
A WALK IN THE CLOUDS is a little brother of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE--full of admiration for the big guy, not quite strong enough to go it alone. Director Alfonso Arau has brought the golden light, the family kitchen, and even some chocolate from his earlier film, but he lost some of its spirit on the journey from Mexico to America.
Paul Sutton (Keanu Reeves) returns from World War II to a wife who is obsessed with material success. Stunned at the gulf between them, Paul bolts for a cross-country journey of self-discovery and immediately meets Victoria (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon), who is returning to her family vineyard pregnant and abandoned.
Posing as newlyweds in order to dim her father's anger, the couple goes home together. As they come over the hill, the vineyard materializes in the amber glow of fairy tales. The world is suddenly awash in the sights and sounds of pretend. Crickets, moonbeams, and acres of grapes appear in a rush of music. When the bells ring the warning of impending frost, the family dons butterfly wings and, in a graceful ballet, fans the heat from the frost fires downward to the endangered fruit.
Paul suffers a torrent of abuse from Alberto (Giancarlo Giannini), who, like all the people and events in this movie, is painted in extremes of gruffness and love. Ms. Sanchez-Gijon is just right as the spirited Victoria, but Keanu Reeves is an enigma as Paul.
Whenever he keeps his mouth shut, which is most of the time, he has the innocent air of a soldier/idealist, but when he talks, his voice and emotions are flat. Speaking, he undermines the tale; in silence, he enhances it. But let's not quibble. We have decided to surrender.
Don Pedro, the patriarch of this Mexican-American clan, propels himself on a diet of cigars, chocolate, and bread, and watches over the Only Daughter, the Angry Son, the Harvest, the Fire, and Demon Drink. Anthony Quinn has an emotional field day.
Be warned that you must hold fast to your mood when Victoria, for example, says, "It's not your problem." At times like these, we remember reluctantly that we are in California, not Mexico; that it is 1945, not today. But you'll recover.
You have choices to make. You can choose to see Keanu Reeves as a wooden totem, or you can see him as the sweet innocence of World War II. You can choose to be annoyed by the cliche or to smile when a sleeping populace is roused and brought to the windows by a love song. You can choose to see the fire as ludicrous or as a labored metaphor for family pain. The family and its vineyard spring to life like a pop-up book suddenly opened, which isn't necessarily bad in a movie that begs us, unashamedly, for willing surrender. Considering the world outside this fairy tale, it's quite a fine way to spend an evening.

A personalised digital touchscreen assistant to help patients track and manage their health, enable ways to access their clinical content and more.
To enable a personalized virtual care medium to keep patient and medical professionals connected, especially for chronically ill patients who have been discharged by the hospital but requires continuous regular monitoring on medications, reports, real time vital signs values, etc, to provide care at the bedside of patients anywhere and whenever needed.
The medical professionals have the centralized reliable system to manage patients clinical records including the past history, current and future plan on episodes. The tablet applciation was to enable a personalized virtual connection with their medical professional, equivalent to in-person consultation, to provide care at the bedside of patients.
Also, a patient have plenty of options to know about a particular illness, but are very generic and might be hard to relay or trust—to enable the right knowledge, the help section of the app’s provides the customized curated information by medical professional for their episode of the problem.
The access to medical records, interaction between patient and healthcare professionals were made simple and ease to access, particularly for the chronically ill patients who needs continous monitor after they discharge from hospital or the patients who get care at their bedside. By enabling the personalized interaction, patients engage in their care and that helps them to recover faster to normal life.
The real time syncronization of patients data from the monitoring devices to the centralized system helps the healthcare professionals to pay immediate attention and provide instant care to the patient. Since the patients clicnical datas are centralized, it helps on making better alternate plan and informed decisions for the patients.
App to multitask, capture and present multimedia, including photos, data graphics, video, audio, are helping care providers and patients interact face to face and remotely
To comply the non-disclosure agreement, have been limited with few designs and awaiting response to include some more on—whiteboard sessions, concept sketches, wireframes, remote usability testing, user task flows and visual designs.

WELCOME TO THE ANGLES CLUB.
Tri CLUB, is a simple site where you get to explore more on triangles and how cool they are and their creation protocal. Here we will explore their possibility of existance as a result of the lengths provided.
There are four types of triangles but we will only be learning of three for this project they are:
Equilateral Traingle
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle.
Scalene Traingle
A scalene triangle is a triangle that has three unequal sides
Isoscles Traingle
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. In the figure above, the two equal sides have length and the remaining side has length . This property is equivalent to two angles of the triangle being equal. An isosceles triangle therefore has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

Well, I got about 100 mg from a friend and he told me it needs to be broken down in alcohol. So me and my buddy waited for some peach schnapps in out basement. As soon as it arrived (with the second friend) I added it to just over a shot of it. I let it sit, shaking it slightly now and then to help it break down. We split it up into three tiny shots and drank it.
It took nearly an hour to kick in, but when it did, the three of us were reduced to simpering, laughing idiots. My buddy pissed his pants at least twice over the 6 or so hours it lasted.
I had less experience with powerful psychoactives than they did, so I was heavily debilitated. We went out for a walk and by the time we came back, I was lying on the floor staring around. It was pretty much a sterotypical 'Jimi Hendrix' acid trip. Everything was actually changing colours, going from purple to blue to orange and all that. We were listening to Phish on the stereo and the sounds was heavily warping (sounded much like a phase shifter). The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable, as we couldn't stop laughing, but at some points I was a little scared that it wouldn't stop. The trip went on and on and we stayed up pretty much all night.
My buddy was in the washroom, trying to defecate, and he called out to me when I went to check on him, 'How do I take a shit?' and then we both burst into laughter. I later had the same problem as you are so easily distracted by the visuals that it is hard to get things done.
Overall it was an awesome experience.

French producers shrug off New York foie gras ban
by RFIFrench foie gras producers have shrugged off a decision by the city of New York to ban the controversial delicacy made from the livers of force-fed ducks and geese, saying their access to the US market is already barred by sanitary rules.
New York city council voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to ban the sale of the French delicacy from 2022, on the grounds that force-feeding is a cruel practice.
"I am astounded that the country of the Statue of Liberty and liberalism can ban the consumption of a product that is healthy and sells well," said Marie-Pierre Pé, director of the interprofessional committee of foie gras producers in France.
"It's a symbol of French gastronomy which is being targeted. But there is nothing like a ban to boost sales," she added.
Pé downplayed the impact on the sector in the run-up to the end-of-year holidays, when the French routinely gorge on slabs of foie gras on toast.
"For us, there is going to be no economic effect as no French company exports foie gras to the United States," she said, explaining that French producers, respecting EU legislation, fell foul of American sanitary requirements.
Philippe Baron, president of the association for the promotion of foie gras from the southwestern Gers region, a bastion of the delicacy, confirmed that the ban "has no meaning from an economic point of view", admitting that "from a symbolic point of view, it is a shame".
The US has a number of producers, who have warned that New York's ban will badly affect their businesses.

W Virginia to open medical marijuana business applications
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Businesses hoping to break into West Virginia’s fledgling marijuana market will soon be able to apply for permits as growers, processors, dispensaries and laboratories.
The state Bureau of Public Health says its Office of Medical Cannabis will open applications on Dec. 19. Citing a state news release, news outlets report applications are due by February 18 and will be online only.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports the medical marijuana program created in 2017 was meant launch in July. Delays included the state treasure’s banking vendors refusing to process marijuana funds, per conflicts with federal law. A workaround passed this year allowed credit unions to step in.
The cannabis office’s director, Jason Frame, previously said he wanted patients to have access to the drug before the summer of 2021.
