Caerphilly is a hard, white cheese originating from a town of the same name in South Wales. It was first made in Caerphilly in about 1830. Its texture and flavour bears resemblance to cheddar, which is the most popular type of cheese in the United Kingdom. This cheese is known as "the crumblies".
The recipe for Caerphilly has been inspired from other crumbly cheeses like Cheshire, young Lancashire and Wensleydale. It is said that the cheese was specially made for coal-miners as its tough texture and shallow height made it easy for them to eat with bare hands while the salty, moist curd helped to replenish the lost minerals.
Caerphilly is made from unpasteurised cows' milk and matured anywhere from 8 to 10 to 14 days. Some variants are often kept for up to a year to develop a harder texture and stronger taste. Inside the pale ivory rind of the cheese, young Caerphilly has a fresh and pleasant taste alongside a moist yet supple texture. With maturity, the edges become creamy and the flavour becomes more rounded. It usually has a wheel-shape with ivory-white rind dusted with fine flour. As the cheese ages in a moist cellar, the white and gray moulds become thicker and more leathery. The cheese can be vegetarian depending upon the brand.
 It is normally grated or melted onto dishes.

ABSTRACT
Onyshchenko A. M., Khudolii S. N., Chyzhenko N.P. Numerical modelling of influence location of transport load on cemethobetonnogo covering of highways. Visnyk National Transport University. Series «Technical sciences». Scientific and Technical Collection. - Kyiv: National Transport University, 2020. - Issue 1 (46).
The article is devoted to the problem of developing more precise mathematical models of deformation of road of hard type, depending on various options of loading location and design features of the plate.
The purpose of the work is to simulate the method of the finite elements of stressed-deformed state of cement concrete covering roads depending on various load location and design features of the plate.
Object of study - cement-concrete to cover roads.
Method of research: statistical analysis of scientific publications, technical and normative literature, finite element method.
Taking into account that cement concrete coating of the road operates complex spatial load so it is advisable to use numerical method for determination of stressed-strained state of coating based on solving the theory equations Elasticity - Finite element method as the most versatile and efficient.
Its peculiarity is a direct transition from the continuum to discrete analysis by dividing the area of an object that is investigated by a number of sub-areas and approximation of displacements fields, efforts, stresses, for example, using Engineering and settlement complex. Four variants of transport load are considered. As a result of the numerical modelling of the stressed-strained state of cement concrete covering for the first time obtained an analytical dependence for determination of tensile stresses at bending, arising of cement concrete coating of highways from Load actions taking into account the different settlement parameters, which allows to specify the general expression of the conditions of strength in calculating the cement-concrete coating taking into account the coefficient of frost resistance. This method allows assessing the strength of cement concrete covering of various categories with a given reliability and durability.
KEY WORDS: CEMENT CONCRETE COATING, TENSION, DURABILITY, FROST RESISTANCE, DURABILITY.

Hi! My name is Martin Lear and I develop applications. Below you will find links to various blog postings and projects that I have been a part of. You'll also find a bunch of bad techniques involved as I'm not afraid to show off what I don't know, so feel free to reach out and tell me about it!

Science-fiction promised that we'd have loads of amazing technology and that we'd all be working, at most, a 20-hour week by now. Well, we have the amazing technology, but we're working longer than ever. And it doesn't matter how many fitness wearables you strap round your wrist - that's not good for your body.
So, Joe Sparrow argues, we should be grateful, not fearful, for the advent of automation, which is already replacing the most repetitive of human jobs – and is coming for the ones you might not think can be automated...
Working more than 55 hours a week raises your chance of a stroke by 33%. In Japan, overwork kills 10,000 people per year. Conclusion: Work is bad for you. We should not work if possible.
Stop working, now.
So, let's not work. While some rage at the likelihood of automation killing 38% of jobs within 10 years – and who doesn't feel a pang of vicarious anxiety for the truck drivers and shop assistants whose jobs will be initially gobbled up – I long for the day when all our jobs are obsolete.
Instead we can just lounge around on beaches, idle around in green idylls, punch the air in nightclubs, or whatever.
It’s easy to visualise whose jobs will vanish first, and even what the cause will be. Or is it?
Some worry that this wave of automation is the effect of a brutal, end-capitalist society who are cutting the legs off from under the poorest people. Or maybe they're being liberated from monotony, suddenly wallowing in free time in which they can simply… live. What’s more right-on and left-wing than freeing the workers first of all?
And no, don’t sweat about something as simple as money, silly! Once the robots have taken our jobs, we’ll shift to a cashless society or a bitcoin-like micro-payment/barter system or maybe we’ll all be able to get fat off the profit of the robots, and lounge around on a Universal Basic Income while our robot servants do the work we don’t need to any more.
Actually, that’s the key point about automation and work: there are certain jobs that will be automated faster than others. It’s easy to visualise whose jobs will vanish first, and even what the cause will be. Or is it?
Book, line and sinker
Imagine, you want a new book. One made of paper and ink. Something trashy, to take on holiday and guzzle next to the pool. Well, in the automated future, if you go to a shop, the salespeople will be largely gone, replaced by automated salespoints and robotic shelf-replenishers.
Sorry, pesky humans, but robots can do manual work faster, longer and better than you.
If you order online, you bypass the shop anyway - and in the warehouse, your order is processed automatically, relayed to an automated picker which plucks the book from the shelf, automatically sends it to a dispatch-bot which packs it and stacks it in an automated track which eventually, automatically brings it to your door.
And then you hop on a plane which is auto-piloted to the Costa del Sol, where your self-driving car takes you to the hotel, and so on. And when you get to the hotel, hopefully, all the pickers, packers, dispatchers and drivers that are now out of work will be resting by the pool too.
Sorry, pesky humans, but robots can do manual work faster, longer and better than you.
These are the obvious job-scrapping robots.
The only people who are safe in this whole process are the creatives, right? The book’s author, the cover designer, the curators at the publishing company - whose exquisite taste enables books like “Rebels: City of Indra” by Kylie and Kendall Jenner to exist - and the hard-working scribes who write the reviews: they’re safe. Robots can’t replace us... can they?
Well, like, duh. The robots are coming for the “creatives” too.
Read all about it
The first “creative” job to go might be the news journalist.
After all, reckons automators, what is "news reporting" other than a replicable series of processes? Just sniff out a breaking story, gather evidence, quotes and pictures, sift out the red herrings, collate into a news article framework, and distribute out to the masses as fast as possible.
In a world of reasonably-believable Twitter bots, it doesn't sound too much like science fiction, and maybe it’s time for journalists to start drinking heavily and worrying where their next paid job is coming from. Oh wait…
And speaking of drinking, tools like Reuters’ News Tracer drink straight from the firehose: analysing all of Twitter and picking out the tweets that might be the start of a news story.
It is taught phrases that might be associated with a sudden event - people are inclined to tweet a warning to avoid an area if they think a bomb has gone off, for instance - and it can then alert a journalist of its findings.
The Washington Post already uses a similar tool: Heliograf creates the basis of a story from pre-defined parameters and a flesh-and-blood journo fills in the gaps. On US election day, nearly 500 articles were created this way.
Wordsmith, a “Natural Language Generation Engine” will turn a spreadsheet of data - let’s say, today’s New York Stock Exchange listings - and make them into news stories, reporting on the ebb and flow of the stocks and what it means.
From here, the next steps are easy to imagine: you teach AI to take its initial findings, build an article to our liking, share it and then continually iterate it as the story develops. (Journalists will continue to tweet furiously.)
>10 CREATE "CLICKBAIT"
>20 GOTO 10
>RUN
As a Clickbait Content Generation Professional (or writer, as we used to be called), I for one welcome our robot overlords, and look forward to the day when I can finally let the robots do this stuff.
Also: how can I even think about resisting?
After all, for the last year or so, I have been using Speechmatics' brilliant AI-and-Neural-network-driven voice-to-text system to write up transcripts of my interviews, which I then edit into something readable.
Why not bypass that step and let AI do it all? I can still put my name on it - and get paid for the AI’s work!
Excited by the idea of letting a robot do the graft, I cleared my workweek diary of the pesky work part, pencilled in five solid days of loafing, video games, and drinking, and sat back to Google publicly available AI-writing services.
 The home page boasts, “Just feed our AI Author a headline, and it will do all the research and writing work for you. Yes, it's really that simple!”
No, it's really not. I tapped in a headline for an article I was planning on writing for MONTAG – but which now seemed like a much worse use of my time – added my email address, and hit enter.
“Usually,” the confirmation window chirruped, “you will receive the requested text within minutes, but sometimes it takes hours, depending on the workload!”
After not receiving my requested 1500 words on “3D Printed Human Organs,” I let out a long sigh, scrubbed “Go to the zoo all day!”
I then tried a more simple request: 300 words on “Virtual Reality.” To spread my bets, I also put in a request for 200 words on “Sausages.”
Workload must be overwhelming for the neural networks tippity-tapping at the keyboards over at AI Writer HQ, because, dear reader, I received nothing all – except the sneaking suspicion that I was just dumb enough to put my email address into a spammer’s database.
UPDATE:
My snark was unfounded. A few months later, quietly, the AI-written articles dropped into my inbox. The results were wildly impressive, although not in the straightforward way you’d expect. Instead, AI-writer appears to have stumbled on - and I mean this sincerely - a way to create brilliant, free-association-type articles on anything you desire.
Here’s an excerpt from the full AI-scribed article on “Virtual Reality.” It’s an article that zips between Spanish and English at will, and is full of wonderful almost-non-secateurs like:
“A virtual world is considered plausible if the interaction in it is logical and coherent. In no other country are transgender genders as accepted as in Thailand, nowhere else are there as many gender equalizations as here.”
”Fresh fresh fresh fresh fresh fresh butter”
My joke request for an article on “Sausages” was treated with the contempt it deserved, which suggests that, while AI may not be a great writer, it’s definitely aware of how to troll its users:
“Snagsby are retouched with a damp cloth, the best tea service is put out, and there is an excellent arrangement made of delicate new bread, crispy twists, fresh fresh fresh fresh fresh fresh butter, thin slices of ham, German tongue and sausage, and delicate rows of delicate anchovies that nestle in the parsley.”
However, there is undeniable promise in this tech.
My initial request, with the much more focused subject of “3D-printed organs” has convinced me that AI-writer’s tech is actually going to be a useful tool.
The copy it provides doesn’t quite pass as human, but only because the article doesn’t flow from one sentence to the next. It’s easy to see how an editor could request an AI article, and then tidy it up into something that’s readable and workable - just like editors do with junior writers’ work today.
Discouraged, I started gloomily writing this very article. Then I found WordAi - which, although it wouldn’t create an article for me, promised to make my junky writing a lot more betterer than what I could of done off of my own.
Unfortunately, WordAi doesn’t want people like me to actually use their three-day free trial, as it requires credit card details, and for you to set a calendar reminder to remember to cancel your subscription after two days, and even the dumbest AI knows that no-one has time to go through that rigmarole.
Fortunately, there is an example of their AI-whelped stories for us to check out. Gaze upon it, and sleep soundly knowing that our cheap ‘n’ cheerful AI-scribed future might consist of blockbuster opening lines like this:
”Creating and keeping exceptional working relationships with customers is really one of the very significant investments you could make in your firm's future. Cost and availability of products and services may fluctuate, however a high regard amongst clientele and standing is equally significant for customer satisfaction.”
I gave up. I resigned myself to the cycle of waiting until the last minute to write thousands of words for frustrated clients, and put my dream of life without keyboard-calloused fingertips back on the shelf.
Imagine the horror of a post-creative world where Buzzfeed listicle writers, advertising executives, Instagram spokesmodels, and Vloggers are callously tossed onto the scrapheap
Post-creativity
For now, you’ll just have to gulp nervously and imagine the horror of a post-creative world where Buzzfeed listicle writers, advertising executives, Instagram spokesmodels, and Vloggers are callously tossed onto the scrapheap, their vital work instead executed by machines without souls, humanity or self-awareness.
But make no mistake, the machines are coming for your job. And the least-likely career to be subsumed by automation? Therapists. Which is good news, ’cos when your job vanishes, you’ll need someone to talk to.

Rensco Fire Wire is run with consumer, off-the-shelf hardware. The signal chain, from start to end, is:
- A Realistic Pro-2006 scanner. This puppy was bought new around 1990 and sat in my father’s office since then. It can scan several frequency ranges from 25 MHz to 1300 MHz— which, prior to the new dispatch system, was perfect for Rensselaer County.
- A Behinger UCA202 audio interface. This is a very basic stereo in/stereo out USB interface. Behringer, admittedly, is not the highest quality brand, but it absolutely gets the job done for radio traffic.
- A Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running TwoToneDetect on Raspbian Jessie. The software, I believe, was originally written in Python for Windows and then ported over to Linux. There are a couple of quirks, and several things could’ve been easier to set up if TTD was open-source. That said, some interesting workarounds allowed everything to come together properly.
- Several custom scripts. These deal with the conversion, management, and uploading of the recorded audio files (and the agency data associated with them) to my web server. A variety of software packages compresses the dynamic range of the audio and equalizes it—both in an effort to make clearer audio and smaller file sizes—before sending the file to the web.
- A VPS hosted by a very good company. The VPS is running Debian Stretch and hosts Rensco Fire Wire as a custom-built site. The site was built using Angular 4, Node.js, and MariaDB.

There are three types of happiness: pleasure, passion and higher purposes. The described approach suggests we should spend most of our energy on higher purpose, then on passion, and the pleasure is at the end of the list.
The core value for me is my family's well-being and happiness, and also maitaining a healthy work&life balance, personal growth and passion to achieve new horizons.
Resilience is about overcoming obstacles through inner calm, emotional and cognitive resilience. I think the ability to access your inner calm opens a door to control your emotions and clear your mind. It may be considered as a step to happiness :)

LeBron James farts at fans after they ask for his autograph
by Jon LevineThe King has tooted.
Basketball star LeBron James responded to a fan request for an autograph by farting at him while leaving an Oklahoma steakhouse.
LeBron and fellow basketballer Chris Paul were leaving the Mohagany Prime Steakhouse in Oklahoma City when the fans, who were recording the encounter, approached.
Before entering a waiting SUV, James lifted his leg and offered a burst of flatulence so loud it was picked by the camera’s audio from the other side of the parking lot, TMZ reported.
It’s been a banner week for farting news, with Rep. Eric Swalwell also making national headlines after what appeared to be a loud fart during a live interview with MSNBC host Chris Matthews.
The network later said the sound was not a fart but was in fact caused by Matthews dragging his coffee cup across the desk.


Tariff: Replicate Tariff Method for Verbal Autopsy
Implement the Tariff algorithm for coding cause-of-death from verbal autopsies. The Tariff method was originally proposed in James et al (2011) <doi:10.1186/1478-7954-9-31> and later refined as Tariff 2.0 in Serina, et al. (2015) <doi:10.1186/s12916-015-0527-9>. Note that this package was not developed by authors affiliated with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and thus unintentional discrepancies may exist between the this implementation and the implementation available from IHME.

| High Voltage Parallel Programming ← | ↑ ScratchMonkey | → Troubleshooting |
If you're ever interested in programming the ATtiny4/5/9/10 family of MCUs, you'll need to use the Tiny Programming Interface (TPI).
The illustration on the right shows connections for an Arduino Uno, see the Connection Diagrams chapter for other boards.
TPI requires 5 signals (including power and ground), as shown in this illustration. One convenient feature of TPI is that it can equally be used as a low voltage protocol, with the RESET pin connected directly to the MCU, or as a high voltage protocol, with RESET generating a +12V signal to apply to the MCU (as usual, refer to the High Voltage Programming section for suitable arrangements to generate a +12V signal).
The pin arrangement for your MCU is shown on the right. Wrangling a SOT-23 part is left as an exercise to the reader.

TMA-2 |
(powder / crystals) |
Around a month ago I received 100mg of tma-2. It was a light brown/tan color. This concerned me at first, but after seeing that the results of Shulgan's synthesis of tma-2 produced the same color, I was reassured.
I took 50mg on an empty stomach. The come on was slow, smooth, and subtle. I started to get a feeling like I was asleep and dreaming even though I was wide awake. This feeling persisted for most of the trip. I lay on a couch and started to have the most incredibly relaxing hallucinogenic experience I have ever had. First things started to look furry, an effect I usually associate with 2cb. Everything surface looked like it had hair coming off of it.
Around then is when I started to notice something else: my visuals were almost completely colorless. I'm used to psychedelics immersing me in a world of color, so it was quite novel to start to have visuals in black, white, and varying shades of grey. It was like watching a black and white movie.
As the trip became more intense, I became more and more relaxed. My mind did not race along like I am used to, rather it ambled along sideways to reality at it's own pace. I could have easily fallen asleep at the peak of the experience. OEVs where very similar to colorless 2cb, but there were also two dimensional geometric patterns that appeared to be around 5 feet in front of my face.
While I didn't spend as much time with my eyes closed as I should have, I noted that CEVs where detailed and easy to get immersed in. At one point during the trip, my roommate gave me a light show in a dark closet. I lost all sense of size and proportion. One second he seem miles away, the next second he was a giant towering over me.
Overall I enjoyed this substance a great deal. The entire trip lasted around 9 or 10 hours. It was very novel, quite different from most other hallucinogens.

Five things to know about e-cigarettes
WASHINGTON, Nov 15 — e-Cigarettes have become hugely popular in the past decade but a rash of vaping-linked deaths and illnesses is feeding caution about a product, already banned in some places.
Yesterday an 18-year-old man died in Belgium in a vaping-linked death, the first such case in the country.
Here are five things to know about electronic cigarettes.
Around for two decades
Early designs for an electronic cigarette were drawn up in the United States in the 1960s but Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik is acknowledged as the inventor of a viable commercial version in the early 2000s.
Hon, who was trying to quit his own pack-a-day habit, took out patents between 2003 and 2005. But his devices would soon be overtaken as the international market exploded.
How do they work?
A battery powers a coil that heats a liquid containing various amounts of nicotine as well as propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, which mimic tobacco smoke when heated.
This “e-juice” can also contain flavourings and other substances, such as THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
e-Cigarettes are mostly draw-activated, with the puffing releasing vapour.
They do not produce tar or carbon monoxide — two of tobacco's most noxious elements and associated with cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Harmful to health?
e-Cigarettes were initially touted as less damaging than tobacco, which causes around eight million deaths a year.
In 2015 public health authorities in England said best estimates showed they were 95 percent less harmful than tobacco.
However concern has been growing and in July 2019 the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that electronic smoking devices were “undoubtedly harmful and should therefore be subject to regulation.”
Another worry is that the vaping flavours are particularly attractive to teenagers and an enticement to pick up the habit.
In 2019 the vaping industry is facing major scrutiny amid an epidemic of lung conditions linked to e-cigarette use that has killed 39 and sickened more than 2,000 mostly young people in the US.
In November 2019 US health officials said they had identified vitamin E acetate, an oil sometimes used as a thickening agent for vaping products, as the likely culprit behind the epidemic.
Exponential growth
The number of vapers worldwide has leapt from seven million in 2011 to 41 million in 2018, according to leading market researcher Euromonitor International.
By comparison, there were 1.1 billion tobacco smokers on the planet in 2016, according to latest WHO figures on its website.
The largest markets for e-cigarettes are the United States followed by Britain, France, Germany and China.
The increase in vaping has been particularly dramatic among teenagers.
Moving towards regulation
In September 2019 India became the latest country to ban the import, sale, production and advertising of e-cigarettes, citing in particular concerns about its youth.
The devices are already banned in several places, such as Brazil, Singapore, Thailand and the US state of Massachusetts, but elsewhere legislations is inconsistent.
In June 2019 San Francisco became the first major US city to effectively ban the sale and manufacture of electronic cigarettes.
In September New York followed Michigan in banning flavoured e-cigarettes.
On November 11, US President Donald Trump said he planned to meet with vaping industry representatives as he considers whether to ban flavoured e-cigarette products.
Trump has said he supports raising the minimum age for the purchase of e-cigarettes from 18 to 21, but he has also indicated he is concerned about over-regulation of business. — AFP-Relaxnews

Demo for Prevent Double Submit jQuery Plugin
Enhanced Form with Prevent Double Submit behavior
Regular Form without plugin
Demo Tips
-
Go to http://requestb.in/ and create a RequestBin.
-
Copy the Bin URL and set it as the form action.
-
Try to submit the form multiple times before page changes by hitting enter rapidly in the text field, or
clicking the submit button rapidly.
-
Inspect the RequestBin logs. You should see that the Prevent Double Submit form always submits only once, but it
is easy to make duplicate requests with the regular form.

Breast Cancer information
Description
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts.
 Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women.
Symptoms
- A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue
- Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast
- Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling
- A newly inverted nipple
- Peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple (areola) or breast skin
- Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange

Wrapper function for survtmle
that takes a fitted
survtmle
object and computes the TMLE estimated incidence for all
times specified in the times
argument. For this function to work,
the original call to survtmle
should have been executed with
returnModels = TRUE
. This allows the function to be more efficient
than repeated calls to survtmle
in that
timepoints
will use fitted censoring (and hazard if
method="hazard"
was used in the original call) estimates. It is
therefore advisable that the vector times
used in the call to
timepoints
not include times beyond the time specified in
t0
in the original call to survtmle
. This can be
ensured be making the original call to survtmle
with
t0 = max(ftime)

NAME
ps2epsi - generate conforming Encapsulated PostScriptSYNOPSIS
ps2epsi infile.ps [ outfile.epsi ] (Unix)ps2epsi infile.ps [ outfile.epi ] (DOS)
DESCRIPTION
ps2epsi uses gs(1) to process a PostScript(tm) file and generate as output a new file which conforms to Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI is a special form of encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to the beginning of the file in the form of PostScript comments a bitmapped version of the final displayed page. Programs which understand EPSI (usually word processors or DTP programs) can use this bitmap to give a preview version on screen of the PostScript. The displayed quality is often not very good (e.g., low resolution, no colours), but the final printed version uses the real PostScript, and thus has the normal PostScript quality.USAGE
On Unix systems invoke ps2epsi like this:
ps2epsi infile.ps [ outfile.epsi ]
where "infile.ps" is the input file and "outfile.epsi" is the resulting EPSI file. If the output filename is omitted, it is generated from the input filename. When a standard extension (".ps", ".cps", ".eps" or ".epsf") is used, it is replaced with the output extension ".epsi". On DOS systems the command is:
ps2epsi infile.ps outfile.epi
where "infile.ps" is the original PostScript file, and "outfile.epi" is the name of the output file.
LIMITATIONS
Not every PostScript file can be encapsulated successfully, because there are restrictions on what PostScript constructs a correct encapsulated file may contain. ps2epsi does a little extra work to try to help encapsulation, and it automatically calculates the bounding box required for all encapsulated PostScript files, so most of the time it does a pretty good job. There are certain to be cases, however, where the encapsulation does not work because of the content of the original PostScript file.COMPATIBILITY
The Framemaker DTP system is one application which understands EPSI files, and ps2epsi has been tested on a number of PostScript diagrams from a variety of sources, using Framemaker 3.0 on a Sun workstation. Framemaker on other platforms should be able to use these files, although I have not been able to test this.FILES

This is Words and Buttons Online — a collection of interactive #tutorials, #demos, and #quizzes about #mathematics, #algorithms and #programming.
A picture is worth a thousand tags
This shows how a picture can be turned into an HTML table. With this, you can not only have nicer tables or uglier pictures, but you can have something that is both at the same time.
#demos
Can we use lemniscates for ultra-cheap vector graphics?
This depicts an old idea of using multifocal lemniscates to draw arbitrary shapes. In some applications, this may be indeed an economical alternative to splines.
#demos #mathematics
An interactive explanation of how polynomial transformations such as trilinear or biquadratic or even linear-cubic work, and how to craft your own.
#demos #mathematics
Arctangent scale. It's like the logarithmic scale but infinite
An interactive demo of how, with arctangent used as a scale, we can show any function on a screen. And not just a fragment of it but the whole function.
#demos #mathematics
A simple image processing algorithm that cleans up dirt stains from old newspapers. I called it “darning” because of how it works.
#algorithms #demos #mathematics
Error codes are not numbers. But they are. Can we exploit that?
An interactive explanation of how we can use floating-point NaNs as error code holders in C++.
#demos #mathematics #programming
This generates honeycomb textures of a special quasi-irrational form. Explanation included.
#demos #mathematics
SWInE: Simplicial Weight Interpolation and Extrapolation
An alternative to splines nobody knows about. The localization of Shepard's method for a simplicial complex.
#demos #mathematics
Quadratic splines are useful too
This explains simple quadratic splines, how to craft one yourself, and why.
#demos #mathematics
Circles and lines vs. polynomial splines
An alternative to polynomial splines. Smooth parametric curves made from arcs and line segments.
#demos #mathematics
Lexical differential highlighting instead of syntax highlighting
This type of highlighting is ideal for assembly. With it, the things that shouldn't seem similar usually don't.
#demos #programming
This is an example of an image vectorization algorithm. It shows the bilinear interpolation, polynomial approximation, differential analysis, and iterative algorithms working together to solve a practical problem
#algorithms #demos #mathematics
The simplest possible smooth contouring algorithm
A 3-part smooth contouring algorithm that shows partial derivatives, gradients, and parametric polynomials working together.
#algorithms #demos #mathematics
A cheap trick to speed up recursion in C++
More often than not, recursion is not your performance problem, to begin with. But even if it is, you can often avoid recursion altogether. When for some reason you can't, this trick helps.
#demos #programming
Estimating floating-point error the easy way
An explanation of how to measure computational error while working with floating-point numbers, and why.
#demos #mathematics #programming
Outperforming everything with anything
A 100 lines of Python code that substitute the compiler front-end for a specific computation. This shows that you don't need a “fast” compiling language to write efficient code. In fact, a compilation is only one of the multiple ways to achieve speed.
#demos #programming
Vastly outperforming LAPACK with C++ metaprogramming
Still not really about LAPACK. It's a second part of the “outperforming” series explaining how the C++ metaprogramming can appear useful for efficient code generation.
#demos #programming
Outperforming LAPACK with C metaprogramming
Ok, it's not really about LAPACK. You can consider it clickbait if you wish. It's about how to tell a compiler to write the code you want with a limited arsenal of tools the C language provides.
#demos #programming
An interactive introduction to iterative algorithms
An interactive explanation of how iterative algorithms work. This explains convergence and the exit condition problem on an oversimplified linear system solver.

(For the purposes of some automation) I'd like to treat hypotheses that were introduced by the equation compiler (e.g. the inductive hypothesis) differently from the others. Is there a way of inspecting the local_context and determining which ones these are?

Confidence in Britain is faltering, CBI chief warns
CBI director general Carolyn Fairbairn has criticised ‘extreme ideology’ on both sides of the political divide.
Confidence in Britain is faltering amid “extreme ideology” on both sides of the political divide, a business leader has warned.
Carolyn Fairbairn, director general of the CBI, set out a series of dangers she said could get in the way of a bright future for the country.
She told the business group’s annual conference in London: “On the right, we have the threat of — even preference for — no deal as the end point of our Brexit negotiations.
“For some on the right, this preference for no deal is driven by a zeal for something beyond this – and that is the wholesale deregulation of the UK economy.
“But I want to be clear that this is not what British firms, large or small, want.”
Companies want to improve the quality of good jobs, not diminish them and will do all they can to make Brexit work, she said.

“Meanwhile, ideology from the left is at least as damaging. The Labour Party is proposing the biggest programme of renationalisation this country has ever seen, at great cost, with uncertain returns to the taxpayer, and with no clear route to better customer service.”
Labour’s announcement last week to nationalise parts of BT was a “bolt from the blue”, which had “sent a chill through boardrooms at home and abroad,” said Ms Fairbairn.
She added: “Many firms are questioning whether their investment is safe, and some thinking are we next?
“These ideologies from both sides are causing great harm to our economy. Not just in the future but right now.
“To see this, you only have to look the effect on business investment, which has fallen in five of the last six quarters. Confidence in Britain is faltering.”


SettingsViewController
class SettingsViewController : UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate
The setting View Controller controls the storyboard. The user can change some settings
-
getter and setter Methode for endpointUrlString
Declaration
Swift
public var EndpointUrlString: String { get set }
-
Provides setter and getter for the filter
Declaration
Swift
public var SelectedOption: Int { get set }
-
Provides setter and getter for the streamWidth
Declaration
Swift
public var StreamWidth: Int { get set }
-
Provides setter and getter for the streamHeight
Declaration
Swift
public var StreamHeight: Int { get set }
-
Provides setter and getter for the streamingFrequency
Declaration
Swift
public var StreamingFrequency: Double { get set }
-
Called after the controller's view is loaded into memory. This method is called after the view controller has loaded its view hierarchy into memory. This method is called regardless of whether the view hierarchy was loaded from a nib file or created programmatically in the loadView() method. You usually override this method to perform additional initialization on views that were loaded from nib files.
Declaration
Swift
override func viewDidLoad()
-
Sent to the view controller when the app receives a memory warning. Your app never calls this method directly. Instead, this method is called when the system determines that the amount of available memory is low. You can override this method to release any additional memory used by your view controller. If you do, your implementation of this method must call the super implementation at some point.
Declaration
Swift
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning()
-
Disables Autorotate for this Storyboard
Declaration
Swift
open override var shouldAutorotate: Bool { get }
-
Returns to main storyboard without saving the changes
Declaration
Swift
@IBAction func backButtonAction(sender: UIButton!)
Parameters
sender
interaction with button
-
Saves the current settings and returns to the main storyboard
Declaration
Swift
@IBAction func saveButtonAction(sender: UIButton!)
-
Checks if the currently set values in the textfields/Data Picker are valied or not
Declaration
Swift
func checkIfValuesAreValid()
-
Notifies the view controller that a segue is about to be performed. The default implementation of this method does nothing. Subclasses override this method and use it to configure the new view controller prior to it being displayed. The segue object contains information about the transition, including references to both view controllers that are involved. Because segues can be triggered from multiple sources, you can use the information in the segue and sender parameters to disambiguate between different logical paths in your app. For example, if the segue originated from a table view, the sender parameter would identify the table view cell that the user tapped. You could then use that information to set the data on the destination view controller.
Declaration
Swift
internal override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
Parameters
segue
The segue object containing information about the view controllers involved in the segue.
sender
The object that initiated the segue. You might use this parameter to perform different actions based on which control (or other object) initiated the segue.
-
Asks the delegate if the text field should process the pressing of the return button. The text field calls this method whenever the user taps the return button. You can use this method to implement any custom behavior when the button is tapped. For example, if you want to dismiss the keyboard when the user taps the return button, your implementation can call the resignFirstResponder() method.
Declaration
Swift
internal func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool
Parameters
textField
The text field whose return button was pressed.
Return Value
true if the text field should implement its default behavior for the return button; otherwise, false.
-
Called by the picker view when it needs the number of components.
Declaration
Swift
internal func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int
Parameters
pickerView
The picker view requesting the data.
Return Value
The number of components (or “columns”) that the picker view should display.
-
Called by the picker view when it needs the number of rows for a specified component.
Declaration
Swift
internal func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int
Parameters
pickerView
The picker view requesting the data.
component
A zero-indexed number identifying a component of pickerView. Components are numbered left-to-right.
Return Value
The number of rows for the component.
-
Called by the picker view when it needs the title to use for a given row in a given component. If you implement both this method and the pickerView(:attributedTitleForRow:forComponent:) method, the picker view prefers the pickerView(:attributedTitleForRow:forComponent:) method. However, if that method returns nil, the picker view falls back to using the string returned by this method.
Declaration
Swift
internal func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String?
Parameters
pickerView
An object representing the picker view requesting the data.
row
A zero-indexed number identifying a row of component. Rows are numbered top-to-bottom.
component
A zero-indexed number identifying a component of pickerView. Components are numbered left-to-right.
Return Value
The string to use as the title of the indicated component row.

“Assuming a realistic range of prior probabilities for null hypotheses, false report probability is likely to exceed 50% for the whole literature.”
…grants, …students, …data
Bem, D.J. (2011). Experimental evidence for anomalous retroactive influences on cognition and affect. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 100(3), 407-425.
“This article reports 9 experiments, involving more than 1,000 participants, that test for retroactive influence by”time-reversing" well-established psychological effects so that the individual’s responses are obtained before the putatively causal stimulus events occur."
“We argue that in order to convince a skeptical audience of a controversial claim, one needs to conduct strictly confirmatory studies and analyze the results with statistical tests that are conservative rather than liberal. We conclude that Bem’s p values do not indicate evidence in favor of precognition; instead, they indicate that experimental psychologists need to change the way they conduct their experiments and analyze their data.”
“…psychologists tend to treat other peoples’ theories like toothbrushes; no self-respecting individual wants to use anyone else’s.”
“Reviewers and editors want novel, interesting results. Why would I waste my time doing careful direct replications?”
