## Usage example
This example shows how to request an Arduino device from the user and set it up
for use.
const requestOptions = {
// Filter on devices with the Arduino USB vendor ID.
filters: [{ vendorId: 0x2341 }],
};
// Request an Arduino from the user.
const port = await navigator.serial.requestPort(requestOptions);
// Open and begin reading.
await port.open({ baudrate: 115200 });
const reader = port.in.getReader();
for await (const { done, data } of reader.read()) {
if (done) break;
console.log(data);
}
## Extensions to the `Navigator` interface
```webidl
[Exposed=Window, SecureContext]
partial interface Navigator {
[SameObject] readonly attribute Serial serial;
};
```
### serial attribute
When getting, the {{Navigator/serial}} attribute always returns the same instance of
the {{Serial}} object.
## Extensions to `WorkerNavigator` interface
```webidl
[Exposed=DedicatedWorker, SecureContext]
partial interface WorkerNavigator {
[SameObject] readonly attribute Serial serial;
};
```
### serial attribute
When getting, the {{WorkerNavigator/serial}} attribute always returns the same instance of
the {{Serial}} object.
## Serial interface
```webidl
[Exposed=(DedicatedWorker, Window), SecureContext]
interface Serial : EventTarget {
attribute EventHandler onconnect;
attribute EventHandler ondisconnect;
Promise<sequence<SerialPort>> getPorts();
[Exposed=Window] Promise<SerialPort> requestPort(optional SerialOptions options = {});
};
```
### requestPort() method
The {{Serial/requestPort()}} method requests access to a serial port of the user's
choice (see [[[#security]]]).
When the {{Serial/requestPort()}} method is invoked, the user agent MUST perform the
following steps:
1. Let |promise:Promise| be [=a new promise=].
1. Return |promise| and run the remaining steps asynchronously.
1. Request access to a serial port (see [[[#security]]]):
1. If the access request is rejected, [=reject=] |promise| with an
{{"AbortError"}} {{DOMException}}.
1. Otherwise, let |port:SerialPort| be the {{SerialPort}} for which access
was granted.
1. [=Resolve=] |promise| with |port|.
## SerialPort interface
```webidl
[Exposed=(DedicatedWorker,Window), SecureContext]
interface SerialPort {
Promise<void> open(optional SerialOptions options = {});
readonly attribute ReadableStream in;
readonly attribute WritableStream out;
SerialPortInfo getInfo();
};
```
### getInfo() method
The {{SerialPort/getInfo()}} method provides a means to get metadata corresponding to a
{{SerialPort}} object.
When the {{SerialPort/getInfo()}} method is invoked, the user agent MUST perform the
steps for getting metadata of a serial port.
## SerialPortInfo interface
```webidl
[Exposed=(DedicatedWorker,Window), SecureContext]
interface SerialPortInfo {
maplike<DOMString, DOMString?>;
};
```
### Serial port metadata
The value of certain attributes is dependent on the method that the system used
to establish the serial port (e.g., USB), and so might not always be available.
### Recommended serial port metadata
When available, it is RECOMMENDED that user agents populate a {{SerialPortInfo}}
object with the following information. If the value of piece of metadata is
unavailable(e.g., if the manufacturer is unknown), then it is RECOMMENDED that
that metadata be excluded from the {{SerialPortInfo}}. For interoperability,
user agents SHOULD use the values provided in they "Key" column of the
table of recommended metadata.
Table of recommended metadata
| Name |
Key |
Description |
| Serial Number |
`serialNumber` |
|
| Manufacturer |
`manufacturer` |
|
| Location ID |
`locationId` |
|
| Vendor ID |
`vendorId` |
|
| Vendor |
`vendor` |
|
| Product ID |
`productId` |
|
| Product |
`product` |
|
### Getting serial port metadata
The steps for getting metadata of a serial port for a |serial
port| are as follows. The steps always return an instance of
{{SerialPortInfo}}, which contains the related metadata.
1. Let |info:SerialPortInfo| be a newly created {{SerialPortInfo}} object.
1. Let |path:DOMString| be a {{DOMString}} that represents the path of the |serial port|.
1. Invoke |info|'s `set()` method using the string `"path"` as the
key, and |path| as the value.
1. For each additional metadata item known about the |serial port|,
perform the following sub-steps. Please see the table of recommended
metadata for a list of recommended metadata items that SHOULD be
included.
1. Let |key:DOMString| be a {{DOMString}} for the commonly used name for this
key.
1. Let |value:DOMString| be a {{DOMString}} for the commonly used name for
this key, or `null` otherwise.
1. Invoke |info|'s `set()` method using the string "path" as the
key, and |path| as the value.
1. Return |info|.
## SerialOptions dictionary
```webidl
dictionary SerialOptions {
long baudrate = 9600;
octet databits = 8;
octet stopbits = 1;
ParityType parity = "none";
long buffersize = 255;
boolean rtscts = false;
boolean xon = false;
boolean xoff = false;
boolean xany = false;
};
```
-
baudrate member
-
One of 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1800, 1200,
600, 300, 200, 150, 134, 110, 75, or 50.
-
databits member
-
One of 8, 7, 6, or 5.
-
stopbits member
-
One of 1 or 2.
-
parity member
-
The parity type.
## ParityType enum
```webidl
enum ParityType {
"none",
"even",
"odd",
"mark",
"space"
};
```
- none
- No parity bit is sent for each data word.
- even
- Data word plus parity bit has even parity.
- odd
- Data word plus parity bit has odd parity.
- mark
- Parity bit has a mark symbol (logical one).
- space
- Parity bit has a space symbol (logical zero).
## Security considerations
This section defines the Security considerations for the
Serial API.
It is RECOMMENDED that an user interface be presented to the user to allow them
to select the serial ports that the page can access. Such an interface would
allow an end user to select zero ore more serial ports on the device - or to
reject the request to access any ports.
A user agent SHOULD allow the user to select from all serial ports available
on the machine, and be shown an indicator for serial ports that are currently
busy, either as a result of prior calls to `requestPorts()` or are in
use by the system.
It is also RECOMMENDED that user agents provide users with a means for the end-
user to view which independently of any access request, and be given the
ability to revoke individual or complete access to serial ports at any time
either at the user agent level or per [=origin=].

Is there a way to flip the Type
and ℕ
parameters around so I can make this a functor?
inductive Bezier (β : Type) : ℕ → Type | point : β → Bezier 0 | curve : Π {n}, Bezier n → β → Bezier (n+1)
You can do
def Bezier' (n : ℕ) (β : Type) := Bezier β n
And make Bezier'
a functor (or switch the names)
okay, that should work :)
wat
invalid type ascription, term has type g <$> @Bezier'.curve α n (@pure (Bezier' n) (@Bezier'.has_pure n) α x) x = @Bezier'.curve β n (g <$> @pure (Bezier' n) (@Bezier'.has_pure n) α x) (g x) but is expected to have type g <$> @Bezier'.curve α n (@pure (Bezier' n) (@Bezier'.has_pure n) α x) x = ?m_1
try set_option pp.all true
before your proof. It will display all the implicit parameters, universe levels and expand notations
aha, thank you! it was using applicative.to_functor
and applicative's default map :face_palm:
Do you by any chance have a functor
and a applicative
instance available in your context?
If you're used to Haskell, you'll see that Lean does not ensure that instances are globally unique
I get that :) and yes, I have functor
and applicative
, working on is_lawful_applicative
I suggest you make sure that only one is available at any time

DEAD AGAIN A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1991 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Two murder mysteries tied together by reincarnation. A great deal of tension is created, but the solution of the mystery is not too surprising and an action sequence toward the end is just not up to the style of the rest of the film. There is a great product placement, however. Rating: high +1 (-4 to +4).
When a little-known filmmaker has a film that makes it really big, it is interesting to see what he or she does with that success. What is the next film like? When suddenly a filmmaker is respected and has a little more freedom, what does s/he do for an encore? A little-known George Lucas had a big hit with AMERICAN GRAFFITI; his next project was to bring comic- book space opera in a way that did not suffer in the transition. That was a success. Spike Lee's first post-success project was the disappointing SCHOOL DAZE. Kenneth Branagh, the director and star of the very successful HENRY V, has returned with a very stylish mystery and supernatural thriller with a dream cast. Branagh stars with his somewhat less well known wife, Emma Thompson. But also on hand in smaller roles are Derek Jacobi, Andy Garcia, Robin Williams, and European actress Hanna Schygulla (of THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN and BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ). This is an oddly matched collected of actors and the screenplay hardly gives them all a chance to make contributions commensurate with their talents.
A nameless, voiceless woman (played by Thompson) shows up at a church school. She has been given sanctuary for a few days, but when she starts having screaming nightmares, the school asks a detective who is a former student (played by Branagh) to help find out who the woman really is. The search is heading nowhere when Franklyn Madson shows up. (Madson played by Jacobi) is a furniture dealer with a talent for hypnotism. He offers his services to put the mystery woman in a trance and help her to remember her previous life. And what she remembers is indeed a previous life, a life in which she was someone else. It was a life that concluded in a famous murder case of 1949. What is more, there are indications that her detective friend may be a reincarnation who was also involved in the same murder. In the past lives a composer and his wife (also played by Branagh and Thompson) have marriage problems that end in the wife murdered and the husband executed. At this point, the uncertainties start to pile up. The reincarnation may or may not be authentic. Roman Strauss, the composer, may or may not have been the murderer. And, most disturbing, the events may or may not be fated to happen again, or perhaps the murder will go in the other direction as a sort of karmic revenge. The film has a complex plot and leaves unanswered the biggest question: does the film really make sense or not? Does the ending really explain all we have seen? Like JACOB'S LADDER, most of what you can get out of this film you get thinking about it afterwards.
The photography is stylishly done, particularly in the scenes set in 1949. They are done in monochrome, but the blacks and whites are just slightly tinted. At least that is the style element easy to identify. And the credits intercut with newspaper clippings about the murder opens the film with a feel almost like that of MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS.
Oh, one more thing. The best touch in this film is the product placement. This film *does* have a product placement. And as it happens it is the best product placement you will see in a film this year. It kind of makes up for all the bad product placements we have had this summer.
Overall the production values and the acting talent are better than the story. And the story is better than it seems at the end of the film. I would still give DEAD AGAIN only a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale. With this cast it should have been better.

Unai Emery's tactics questioned by Shkodran Mustafi after Arsenal draw with Vitoria
Arsenal put in another below-par display as they drew 1-1 with Vitoria in the Europa League in Portugal
by Rich Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/rich-jones/Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi appeared to question Unai Emery's decision to play with a back three for their latest below-par performance.
The Gunners drew 1-1 against Vitoria in Guimaraes after conceding a late equaliser in their Europa League clash in Portugal.
Mustafi had opened the scoring in the 80th minute only to see his side pegged back - and he felt they struggled to find "rhythm" as a result of the system deployed.
Emery opted to tighten things up with Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Rob Holding alongside Mustafi in an unfamiliar system.
Mustafi told BT Sport: "We played with a back three, a system for a long time we didn’t play. So we needed our time a little bit to get the rhythm in.
"In the first half we didn’t do as we wanted. I think we came out better in the second half, had better rhythm, better passing.
"We need to stay calm. Everyone wants to show and give everything, sometimes when you are over-motivated it’s difficult to deal with that.
"But I think at the end of the day we need to stay calm, play our football, believe in ourselves and then in the final third try and do it a little bit more intelligently with more accuracy with our last pass."
Mustafi also claimed the breakdown of the organised nature of the game as Vitoria pushed for a late equaliser was something they struggled to deal with.
He said: "I would love to finish in the 90th minute but when you score a goal and you still have time left to play against a team like today they throw everything up front.
"Sometimes it’s not organised any more, they throw a lot of bodies in the box, they keep crossing, I think we could have done better but in the end we have to accept and take the point with us.
“We could have dealt with it [Vitoria’s goal] a little bit earlier, rather than letting them put the cross in. In the end you have to accept it and move forward, take the positive things from the game.
"They are a good side. They are in the Europa League for a reason, they have quality and are quite compact."

We're a group of Ethical Hacking students at Abertay University in sunny Dundee, who meet every Wednesday at 7pm in the Hacklab at Abertay Uni to discuss topics relating to information security.
Along with running our weekly meetings we are also known for organising our annual conference Securi-Tay, which is Europe's biggest student-run information security conference, aimed to help students interact with industry. Our members are known for attending many different conferences and events around the world, and you may have seen some of them presenting work at these events. Along with conferences the Abertay Hackers have a reputation of being very competitive at CTF events which has resulted in many of our teams ranking 1st place.
Most of our members study at Abertay University which offers two courses related to information security, these are our Bsc(Hons) in Ethical Hacking and our Msc in Ethical Hacking and Cyber security. Both courses are very popular due to the hands-on teaching approach supplied by our lecturers and our modules which simulate work that we may face in a real-world environment.


In 2011 I got a Macbook Air for a christmas gift. It changed my life in a huge way. I’d been a Microsoft Windows user for a long time. I’d also been doing primarily .NET C# Coding for more years than I’d like to count. But at this particular time I knew that I was at a turning point in what I would be working on in the coming years. This Macbook Air was the gateway into a new realm of getting things done on the bleeding edge. This was something that had truly been a long while coming, and I was more than ready for this change.
My days exclusively using Microsoft Technologies were coming to an end.
You see, I’d been bitten by the distributed systems, cloud computing, and large scale, advanced, super computer (yeah, actual super computers) bug. I loved this computing space and I was extremely curious what it held. I had long wanted to delve more into these topics and work more diligently with larger scale, distributed, and related system concerns. Whether it was in the web space or some other area, it didn’t matter, I was curious in a host of things and reasons people were building these systems and applications around them.
Windows and Microsoft Technologies were almost nonexistent in this space.
I’d cut my teeth earlier in my career working around computer scientists that extensively used UNIX and, even in the earliest days of Linux, had begun doing some large scale compute. I got to see the first Beowolf Clusters being put together. Even brought some of the actual computers to the research lab crew that was putting them together. I saw and even got to allocate compute resources on the Naval Oceanographic Office’s super computer located out at Stennis Space Center. This was real computing and I had wanted more of it ever since then.
Windows & Microsoft Technologies were nowhere to be seen.
Moving to Mac was extremely easy. I quickly adapted to shortcut keys and started finding tools I needed to get the job done. I picked up the Jetbrains Suite of IDEs and quickly found other applications to take the place of other various needs. With gaming that was relatively easy too, as more games were starting to be released for the Mac in 2011 anyway. I’ll admit though, still no heavy game and haven’t been since probably 2004.
But the Mac gave me the system I needed for daily work to get into all of the aforementioned things. Which I did. Something that Windows hadn’t provided. Something that .NET was sorely missing. I was finally truly getting into systems, algorithms, architectures, and advanced levels things that I had really wanted to work with and it was a freaking blast.
The other thing is, at the time, OS-X was simply more stable, faster, and simply didn’t have many of the issues that I dealt with under the helm of Windows. I was seriously relieved to shift. Many things have changed today, and Windows has decided to behave more like a mature operating system - especially since it now has bash, linux subsystems running natively on the operating system itself, and related features. But in 2010, Windows was just not relevant in the technologies that were becoming extremely relevant to advanced systemic development and design.
However… Apple Happened.
Since 2010 though numerous significant things have occurred that have encouraged me to both give Windows a shot again (like the aforementioned bash & linux subsystem features) and also many reasons to just shift to Linux altogether. In 2016 I decided to actually start a shift toward Linux at about the same time that Windows started to release its bash & linux subsystem work, which I found highly ironic.
But, that hasn’t been the push I needed to move in that direction again, but I already had enough oompf, and work I was doing daily with Linux that a Linux system would be very useful. That’s when I decided to pick up the System 76 machine.
So far, it’s by far been one of the more useful systems I’ve ever owned. I’ll admit, I do two primary things with this system: play a few select games I like and work on coding projects.
I’ll also add one more caveat. I still have a number of computers. To list them all:
- 15” Macbook Pro (2013 generation)
- 15” Macbook Pro (2016 current generation, work system)
- System 76 Leopard Workstation (2016)
- Dell XPS 13” Developer Edition Laptop w/ Ubuntu, but now running Elementary.
- Dell 15” Dealio from 2006. Rarely used, but I have it. It has Windows 7 & Ubuntu on it, but I also haven’t started it since early 2016.
- iMac 27” Desktop that I use regularly when I want a desktop feel for using Mac Apps.
I’m squarely plopped right in between MacOS and Ubuntu land these days. That’s where this next series is about to start. I’m going to write up some findings of certain types of applications that I have worked at finding to parallel certain tools that I have had previously on MacOS or Windows. This is a series that will detail my efforts to get application parity on Ubuntu, and hopefully at some point not look back any further at the other operating systems for any particular needs. In the meantime, this series is my log of those efforts.

Playing with AI Fairness
Google's new machine learning diagnostic tool lets users try on five different types of fairness.
Posted by David Weinberger, writer-in-residence at PAIR
David is an independent author and currently a writer in residence within Google's People + AI Research initiative. During his residency, he will be offering an outside perspective on PAIR researchers' work; explaining aspects of how AI works; and providing context on AI's societal meaning beyond the technical sphere. He speaks for himself, and the opinions in this post are his.
Researchers and designers at Google's PAIR (People and AI Research) initiative created the What-If visualization tool as a pragmatic resource for developers of machine learning systems. Using the What-If tool reveals, however, one of the hardest, most complex, and most utterly human, questions raised by artificial intelligence systems: What do users want to count as fair?
There is currently — and rightfully — a sharp, global focus on making sure that AI doesn't perpetuate or, worse, exacerbate the unfairness of existing social systems. There are well-known cases where this has happened, and there's no doubt that cases are currently slipping past us all.
But there are two problems with the problem itself. First, as a culture we often lack consensus about which of the many types of fairness to apply. Second, each type of fairness requires both technical and non-technical decisions and trade-offs, some of which can be wrenching.
Varieties of Fairness
What-If presents five buttons, each of which sorts the data according to a different type of fairness, based on mathematical measures.
How do they work? So, let's say you're a mortgage lender using a machine learning system to sort through loan applications, only 30 percent of which come from women. You appoint five respected ethicists, fairness activists, and customer advocates to figure out what gender mix of approved and denied applications would be fair.
By the end of the first meeting, the five members have discovered that each of them has a different idea of what's fair:
#1. Group unaware: What's fair, says Expert #1, is to totally disregard the gender mix of the applicants who are given loans. If no women at all make it into the pool, that's fair so long as people were chosen purely on their merits–what's sometimes called “group unaware” fairness. Otherwise, you'd have to kick out a qualified man to make room for a less qualified woman, because there are a limited number of approvals possible.
So, recommends Expert #1, the company should go to great lengths to exclude gender and gender-proxy information from the data set, and then go for the most accurate predictions of who will repay a loan. That means if the system has to be 60 percent certain that a man will pay back a loan in order to recommend approving his loan, it ought to be 60 percent certain about women as well, even if that were to mean, in the very worst case, that the Approved pile contains only applications from men. (In machine learning's vocabulary, 60 percent certainty about a classification is called a 0.6 confidence level.)
#2. Group thresholds: Expert #2 strongly disagrees with #1. Because of historical biases reflected in the data used to create the system's model, women can look less loan-worthy than men. For example, women's work histories are more likely to be interrupted by multi-month gaps – maternity leave, for example – and that might count against them in the machine learning system's model. So, we should be able to adjust the confidence thresholds for men and women independently. If that means we have to tell the machine that to put a man's application into the Approved pile requires a 0.6 confidence level that he will pay back a loan, but only a 0.3 confidence level that a woman will, so be it.
#3. Demographic parity: No, says Expert #3. The composition of the set of people who are granted loans should reflect the percentage of applicants: if 30 percent of the applicants are women, then 30 percent of the pool of approved applicants ought to be women.
#4. Equal opportunity: Expert #4 disagrees because if you just want equal proportions of men and women to get loans, you could randomly offer loans to women whether or not the individuals are good risks. Instead, it will be “Equal Opportunity” fairness if the same percentage of men and women who are likely to succeed at loans are given loans. What you don't want is for 90 percent of the male good risks to make it into the acceptance pile, but only 40 percent of the female good risks to do so.
Expert #4 goes on to argue that that meets the lender's objective of identifying loan-worthy applicants, but avoids favoring one gender over another in terms of risk. As Moritz Hardt, one of the leading researchers in the field of fairness in machine learning, puts it: “[I]ndividuals who qualify for a desirable outcome should have an equal chance of being correctly classified for this outcome.”
#5. Equal accuracy: Expert #5 thinks Expert #4 was on the right track, but instead of making sure that the genders end up with the same percentage of successes (i.e., people who pay back the loan), each gender should instead have the same percentage of people who were rightly judged as loan-worthy or who were rightly judged as not loan-worthy. That is, the percentage of right classifications (as loan-worthy or as not) should be the same for both genders.
Expert #5 recognizes that this is confusing, so she goes on to contrast #4's idea and hers:
If we use the Equal Opportunity approach espoused by Expert #4, the system will be wrong about who it approves — they don't pay back their loans — the same percentage of the time regardless of gender. But suppose it turns out that among the people the system has rejected, it's wrong about women twice as often as it's wrong about men. In such a case, more women than men who deserved loans are being denied. So, argues #5, the system ought to be tuned so that the percentage of times it's wrong in the total of approvals and denials is the same for both genders.
As the morning breaks, the five experts are still collegially arguing, finding situations in which each of these ideas of fairness is appropriate for the system, based on the results of adjustments to the machine learning model...
These are far from the only varieties of fairness. And while What-If offers users these options, there are external factors (societal context, downstream effects) that affect fairness beyond what is captured in the tool.
Which sense of fairness is the fairest in the land? There is no one right answer, but we probably can agree that humans, not computers, are the ones who should answer this question.
That's why What-If lets us play “what if” with theories of fairness, see the trade-offs, and make the difficult decisions that only humans can make.

I've provided some comments here, but things may not be so # clear without further explanation. # # ############################################################################## # LOG FILE # This is the main log file where service and host events are logged # for historical purposes. This should be the first option specified # in the config file!!! log_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S) # These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts, # host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc. # You can split your object definitions across several config files # if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file. # You can specify individual object config files as shown below: cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># Definitions for monitoring the local (Linux) host cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># Definitions for monitoring a Windows machine #cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># Definitions for monitoring a router/switch #cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># Definitions for monitoring a network printer #cfg_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg # extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir # directive as shown below: #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/servers #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/printers #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/switches #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/routers # OBJECT CACHE FILE # This option determines where object definitions are cached when # Nagios starts/restarts. The CGIs read object definitions from # this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files # directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur # when the config files are modified after Nagios starts. object_cache_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE # This options determines the location of the precached object file. # If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess # your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this # file. You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read # object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard # object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above). # Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start # the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration. # Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more # about how this feature works. precached_object_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># RESOURCE FILE # This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro # definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using # multiple resource_file definitions. The CGIs will not attempt to # read the contents of resource files, so information that is # considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be # defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600) # can be placed on this file. resource_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># STATUS FILE # This is where the current status of all monitored services and # hosts is stored. Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs. # The contents of the status file are deleted every time Nagios # restarts. status_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># STATUS FILE UPDATE INTERVAL # This option determines the frequency (in seconds) that # Nagios will periodically dump program, host, and # service status data. status_update_interval=10 # NAGIOS USER # This determines the effective user that Nagios should run as. # You can either supply a username or a UID. nagios_user=@nagios_user@ # NAGIOS GROUP # This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as. # You can either supply a group name or a GID. nagios_group=@nagios_grp@ # EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION # This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check # for external commands (in the command file defined below). # By default Nagios will check for external commands. # If you want to be able to use the CGI command interface # you will have to enable this. # Values: 0 = disable commands, 1 = enable commands check_external_commands=1 # EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE # This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests. # It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted # by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server # is running as (usually 'nobody'). Permissions should be set at the # directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every # time its contents are processed. command_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># QUERY HANDLER INTERFACE # This is the socket that is created for the Query Handler interface #query_socket=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># LOCK FILE # This is the lockfile that Nagios will use to store its PID number # in when it is running in daemon mode. lock_file=@subsyslockfile@ # TEMP FILE # This is a temporary file that is used as scratch space when Nagios # updates the status log, cleans the comment file, etc. This file # is created, used, and deleted throughout the time that Nagios is # running. temp_file=<EMAIL_ADDRESS># TEMP PATH # This is path where Nagios can create temp files for service and # host check results, etc. temp_path=@TMPDIR@ # EVENT BROKER OPTIONS # Controls what (if any) data gets sent to the event broker. # Values: 0 = Broker nothing # -1 = Broker everything # <other> = See documentation event_broker_options=-1 # EVENT BROKER MODULE(S) # This directive is used to specify an event broker module that should # by loaded by Nagios at startup. Use multiple directives if you want # to load more than one module. Arguments that should be passed to # the module at startup are separated from the module path by a space. # #!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! # WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING #!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! # # Do NOT overwrite modules while they are being used by Nagios or Nagios # will crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory. This is a bug/limitation # either in dlopen(), the kernel, and/or the filesystem. And maybe Nagios... # # The correct/safe way of updating a module is by using one of these methods: # 1. Shutdown Nagios, replace the module file, restart Nagios # 2.

If event handlers should be logged, set the value # to 1. log_event_handlers=1 # INITIAL STATES LOGGING OPTION # If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to # the main log file (the first time the service or host is checked) # you can enable this option by setting this value to 1. If you # are not using an external application that does long term state # statistics reporting, you do not need to enable this option. In # this case, set the value to 0. log_initial_states=0 # CURRENT STATES LOGGING OPTION # If you don't want Nagios to log all current host and service states # after log has been rotated to the main log file, you can disable this # option by setting this value to 0. Default value is 1. log_current_states=1 # EXTERNAL COMMANDS LOGGING OPTION # If you don't want Nagios to log external commands, set this value # to 0. If external commands should be logged, set this value to 1. # Note: This option does not include logging of passive service # checks - see the option below for controlling whether or not # passive checks are logged. log_external_commands=1 # PASSIVE CHECKS LOGGING OPTION # If you don't want Nagios to log passive host and service checks, set # this value to 0.

Appropriation:
Cultural appropriation often adds to stereotypes faced by non-dominant cultures. And when cultures have been oppressed, stereotypes often add to their negative experiences.
Cultural appropriation also has a habit of giving the dominant group credit for aspects of a culture that they have taken, reinforcing the power imbalance between the two groups.

Why use an accordion?
Because emails with a lot of content are most of the time a very bad experience on mobile, mj-accordion comes handy when you want to deliver a lot of information in a concise way.
How it works
Content is stacked into tabs and users can expand them at will. If responsive styles are not supported (mostly on desktop clients), tabs are then expanded and your content is readable at once.

Test Case
|
PERF-010 |
|
Title
|
rtnv meets its time and capacity requirements |
|
Objective
|
This test case is intended to verify the following implied or specified requirements:
- rtnv shall be able to display the main menu within 20 seconds of selecting the app from the Android menu given 20 stocks in the portfolio and access to the internet.
- rtnv shall be able to store at least 20 stocks in the portfolio.
- When the calculate net value button is pressed, the sum of the products of the number of shares and value of each share shall be calcuated and that total displayed (in dollar format) in the calculated net value display field.
- rtnv shall use a public server such as Yahoo finance to retrieve the closing prices of stocks identified by the ticker symbols. Note: this is a demonstration app only and is not meant to be massively distributed for large scale use.
The objective of this test case is to verify that the app can update a portfolio populated to the maximum required size within the time limit of the requirements. |
|
Setup
|
|
|
Actions
|
- Delete the app from the target device.
- Compile and load rtnv onto the target Android device.
- Verify the compile completes with no errors.
- Verify the installation completes with no errors.
- Using any method desired, enter 20 valid ticker symbols each with a user defined number of shares.
- Select the Android main lauch menu.
- Select the Andriod task list and terminate rtnv.
- From the launch menu, start rtnv and note the time.
- Press the Calculate Net Value button and determine when the net value stops changing.
- Verify that time is less than 20 seconds.
- Press the "Next" button and walk through the portfolio verifying that every entry has a non zero share value.
- Record the product of the number of shares and value of each share. Sum those products and verify that they equal the value displayed in the "Calculated Net Value" field.
|
|
Expected
|
The twenty stocks will be be updated within 20 seconds and the calcuated net value will match the value calculated by hand. |

Selenium Grid is a smart proxy server that allows Selenium tests to route commands to remote web browser instances. Its aim is to provide an easy way to run tests in parallel on multiple machines.
With Selenium Grid, one server acts as the hub that routes JSON formatted test commands to one or more registered Grid nodes. Tests contact the hub to obtain access to remote browser instances. The hub has a list of registered servers that it provides access to, and allows us to control these instances.
Selenium Grid allows us to run tests in parallel on multiple machines, and to manage different browser versions and browser configurations centrally (instead of in each individual test).
Selenium Grid isn't a silver bullet. It solves a subset of common delegation and distribution problems, but will for example not manage your infrastructure and might not suit your specific needs.
A hub is a central point where all your tests are sent to. Each Selenium Grid consists of exactly one hub. The hub needs to be reachable from the respective clients (i.e. CI server, Developer machine etc.) The hub will connect one or more nodes that tests will be delegated to.
Nodes are different Selenium instances that will execute tests on individual computer systems. There can be many nodes in a grid. The machines which are nodes need do not need to be the same platform or have the same browser selection as that of the hub or the other nodes. A node on Windows might have the capability of offering Internet Explorer as a browser option, whereas this wouldn't be possible on Linux or Mac.
To use Selenium Grid, you need to maintain your own infrastructure for the nodes. As this can be a cumbersome and time intense effort, many organizations use IaaS providers such as Amazon EC2 and Google Compute to provide this infrastructure.
Other options include using providers such as Sauce Labs or Testing Bot who provide a Selenium Grid as a service in the cloud. It is certainly possible to also run nodes on your own hardware. This chapter will go into detail about the option of running your own grid, complete with its own node infrastructure.
This example will show you how to start the Selenium 2 Grid Hub, and register both a WebDriver node and a Selenium 1 RC legacy node. We’ll also show you how to call the grid from Java. The hub and nodes are shown here running on the same machine, but of course you can copy the selenium-server-standalone to multiple machines.
The selenium-server-standalone package includes the hub, WebDriver, and legacy RC needed to run the grid. ant is not required anymore. You can download the selenium-server-standalone-.jar from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/.
The hub is the central point that will receive test requests and distribute them to the right nodes. The distribution is done on a capabilities basis, meaning a test requiring a set of capabilities will only be distributed to nodes offering that set or subset of capabilities.
Because a test's desired capabilities are just what the name implies, desired, the hub cannot guarantee that it will locate a node fully matching the requested desired capabilities set.
Open a command prompt
and navigate to the directory where you copied
the selenium-server-standalone.jar file.
You start the hub by passing the -role hub
flag
to the standalone server:
$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role hub
The hub will listen to port 4444 by default. You can view the status of the hub by opening a browser window and navigating to http://localhost:4444/grid/console.
To change the default port,
you can add the optional -port
flag
with an integer representing the port to listen to when you run the command.
Also, all of the other options you see in the JSON config file (seen below)
are possible command-line flags.
You certainly can get by with only the simple command shown above, but if you need more advanced configuration, then you may also for convenience specify a JSON format config file to configure the hub when you start it. You can do it like so:
$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role hub -hubConfig hubConfig.json -debug
Below you will see an example of a hubConfig.json file. We will go into more detail on how to provide node configuration files in step 2.
{"_comment" : "Configuration for Hub - hubConfig.json",
"host": ip,
"maxSession": 5,
"port": 4444,
"cleanupCycle": 5000,
"timeout": 300000,
"newSessionWaitTimeout": -1,
"servlets": [],
"prioritizer": null,
"capabilityMatcher": "org.openqa.grid.internal.utils.DefaultCapabilityMatcher",
"throwOnCapabilityNotPresent": true,
"nodePolling": 180000,
"platform": "WINDOWS"}
Regardless of whether you want to run a grid with new WebDriver functionality, or a grid with Selenium 1 RC functionality, or both at the same time, you use the same selenium-server-standalone.jar file to start the nodes:
$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444
If a port is not specified through the -port
flag,
a free port will be chosen. You can run multiple nodes on one machine
but if you do so, you need to be aware of your systems memory resources
and problems with screenshots if your tests take them.
As mentioned, for backwards compatibility “wd” and “rc” roles are still a valid subset of the “node” role. But those roles limit the types of remote connections to their corresponding API, while “node” allows both RC and WebDriver remote connections.
Passing JVM properties (using the -D
flag
before the -jar argument)
on the command line as well,
and these will be picked up and propagated to the nodes:
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe
You can also start grid nodes that are configured with a JSON configuration file
$ java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role node -nodeConfig node1Config.json
And here is an example of a nodeConfig.json file:
{
"capabilities": [
{
"browserName": "firefox",
"acceptSslCerts": true,
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"takesScreenshot": false,
"firefox_profile": "",
"browser-version": "27",
"platform": "WINDOWS",
"maxInstances": 5,
"firefox_binary": "",
"cleanSession": true
},
{
"browserName": "chrome",
"maxInstances": 5,
"platform": "WINDOWS",
"webdriver.chrome.driver": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
},
{
"browserName": "internet explorer",
"maxInstances": 1,
"platform": "WINDOWS",
"webdriver.ie.driver": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe"
}
],
"configuration": {
"_comment" : "Configuration for Node",
"cleanUpCycle": 2000,
"timeout": 30000,
"proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.WebDriverRemoteProxy",
"port": 5555,
"host": ip,
"register": true,
"hubPort": 4444,
"maxSession": 5
}
}
-host
flagFor both hub and node, if the -host
flag is not specified,
<IP_ADDRESS>
will be used by default. This will bind to all the
public (non-loopback) IPv4 interfaces of the machine. If you have a special
network configuration or any component that creates extra network interfaces,
it is advised to set the -host
flag with a value that allows the
hub/node to be reachable from a different machine.
The default TCP/IP port used by the hub is 4444. If you need to change the port please use above mentioned configurations
For advance troubleshooting you can specify log file to log system messeges. For that start Selenium GRID hub or node with -log argument. Please see the below example
java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role hub -log log.txt
Use your favorite text editor to open log file (log.txt in above example) to find "ERROR" logs if you get issues
Also you can use -debug argument to print debug logs on console. For that start Selenium GRID hub or node with -debug argument. Please see the below example
java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role hub -debug
The Selenium Grid must be protected from external access using appropriate firewall permissions.
Failure to protect your Grid could result in one or more of the following occurring:
See this blog post on Detectify which gives a good overview of how a publicly exposed grid could be misused: Don't Leave your Grid Wide Open.
Docker provides a convenient way to provision and scale Selenium Grid infrastructure in a unit known as a container. Containers are standardised units of software that contain everything required to run the desired application including all dependencies in a reliable and repeatable way on different machines. The Selenium project maintains a set of Docker images which you can download and run to get a working grid up and running quickly. Nodes are available for both Firefox and Chrome. Full details of how to provision a grid can be found within the Docker Selenium repository.
The only requirement to run a grid is to have Docker installed and working. Install Docker

Maps (Associative Arrays)
A map consists of key-value pairs. Keys and values can be any clojure data (strings, numbers, other maps, etc.).
Try to change the keys to strings.
{:first-name "Jochen"
:last-name "Rau"}
Maps can be deeply nested:
{:first-name "Jochen"
:last-name "Rau"
:shoe-size 9
:birth-date #inst"1971-03-15"
:locations [{:address "120 Pulpit Hill Rd"
:zip "01002"
:city "Amherst"
:status ::current}
{:address "6 North Street"
:zip "01018"
:city "Hatfield"}]}
Set
A set of unordered, distinct elements. Try to add "foo" a second time.
(hash-set "foo" "bar" "baz")
#{"foo" "bar" "baz"}
What happens if you change "boom"
into "baz"
.
(conj #{"foo" "bar" "baz"} "boom")
There is also a sorted set. But it works a bit different as one might expect.
(sorted-set "foo" "bar" "baz")
Vars (are not variables)
A Var is a way in clojure to keep a reference to a value. The def
form creates a Var. Vars are namespaced.
(def my-name "Jochen")
my-name
The let binding form allows to bind a value to a Var only in the local context. What happens if you remove the last line?
(let [my-name "Shawn"]
(println my-name)
my-name)
my-name
We can define a var again.
(def my-name "Shawn")
my-name
Wait, isn’t that mutable then?
Functions
The preceding apostrophe instructs the Clojure reader not to evaluate the list as function call.
'(+ 1 2 3 4)
(+ 1 2 3 4)
Clojure uses the prefix notation instead of the more common infix notation 1+2+3+4
.
The form fn
creates an anonymous function:
(fn [number] (+ number 3))
Which can be used as first element in a list:
((fn [number] (+ number 3)) 5)
We can bind an anonymous function to a Var to be able to reference it by name:
(def add3 (fn [number] (+ number 3)))
(add3 5)
Or shorter:
(def add3 (fn [number] (+ number 3)))
(add3 5)
(add3 (* 2 4))
The function adder
is a function that evaluates to another function.
(def adder (fn [addend] (fn [number] (+ number addend))))
((adder 10) 5)
(def add10 (adder 10))
(add10 5)
(add3 (add3 5))
Let’s implement a function that takes a function as first argument (higher-order function) and applies it twice to the second argument.
(def twice (fn [fun number] (fun (fun number))))
(twice add3 5)
(map add3 [1 2 3])
(reduce + [1 2 3])
(reduce + (map add3 [1 2 3]))
Who needs Hadoop®? ;-)
Let’s compose two functions into one.
((comp str add3) 5)
(even? 3)
(map even? [1 2 3 4 5 6])
(filter even? [1 2 3 4 5 6])
Accessing a deeply nested data structure
(def joe {:first-name "Jochen"
:last-name "Rau"
:shoe-size 9
:birth-date #inst"1971-03-15"
:locations [{:address "120 Pulpit Hill Rd"
:zip "01002"
:city "Amherst"
:status ::current}
{:address "60 North Street"
:zip "01018"
:city "Hatfield"}]})
(get joe :first-name)
(get (get (get joe :locations) 0) :city)
(get-in joe [:locations 0 :city])
The get-in
function accepts a third argument which is the default value.
Keywords are functions:
(:first-name joe)
Yes, that’s weird, but incredibly helpful:
(map :city (:locations joe))
(first (filter (fn [location] (= (:status location) ::current)) (get joe :locations)))
Adding and removing values
[(conj [:a :b] :c)
(conj '(:a :b) :c)
(conj #{:a :b} :c)
(conj #{:a :b} :b)
(conj {:a 1 :b 2} [:c 3])]
(assoc joe :first-name "Shawn")
joe
(update-in joe [:locations 0] dissoc :status)
joe
[(first [:a :b])
(first '(:a :b))
(first #{:a :b})
(first {:a 1 :b 2})]
(rest [:a :b :c])
Lazy Evaluation
(range 0 10)
(range 10)
#_(range)
(take 10 (range))
(time (nth (range) 1000000))
#_(time (nth (map inc (range)) 1000000))
#_(first (filter (fn [number]
(println number)
(= number 20))
(map inc (range))))
#_(filter (fn [number]
(println number)
(= number 20))
(map inc (range)))
Recursion
Straight forward calculation of the factorial of 8 (or in mathematical notation 8!):
(* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)
The same as function factorial
calling itself (recursive function call, or short recursion). What is the reason for the second argument acc
? Can we get rid of it?
(defn factorial [n acc]
(if (zero? n)
acc
(factorial (dec n) (* n acc))))
(factorial 8 1)
Clojure provides the form recur
to make sure we recur from the "tail".
(defn factorial [n acc]
(if (zero? n)
acc
(recur (dec n) (* n acc))))
(factorial 8 1)
(defn factorial [n]
(loop [cnt n
acc 1]
(if (zero? cnt)
acc
(recur (dec cnt)
(* cnt acc)))))
(factorial 8)
(defn factorial [n]
(reduce * (range 1 (inc n))))
(factorial 8)
State
An atom is a reference to a value.
(def balance (atom 100))
#_(swap! balance + 10)
(deref balance)
(reset! balance 100)
(deref balance)
(defn slow-fun [n]
(nth (map inc (range)) n))
(time (slow-fun 1000000))
Let’s set up a cache for the function results.
(def mem (atom {}))
(defn cache [fun]
(fn [& args]
(if-let [cached-value (get @mem args)]
cached-value
(let [evaluated-value (apply fun args)]
(swap! mem assoc args evaluated-value)
evaluated-value))))
(def cached-slow-fun (cache slow-fun))
There is no benefit the first time the function is called. Try to change the argument and change it back to the original value. Watch the cache as more cache values are added.
(time (cached-slow-fun 1000000))
@mem

Lovett '20 | Physics | Tianjin, China
Meet Edward, a true legend. Originating from Tianjin, China, this sophomore Computer Science major has it all. He is a master at
coding, who really knows how to power through all of his COMP projects without pulling all nighters.  When he is not busy writing lines of Python, he can be found balling at the Recreation Center. In the Fall
of 2016, this man brought Lovett’s freshman basketball team to victory with his deadly accurate three-point shots. If you ever need
something to do, just ask Edward to teach you how to ball like a pro. As an Advisor, Edward will always be there for you to talk about
anything at all. You will frequently find him in the Lovett Commons eating meals or doing COMP assignments. Most importantly,
Edward is one of the nicest, chillest people I know and will not only be your Advisor, but a good friend who you can always count on.
You are about to have one of the best weeks/years of your life so get hype!

Meet Divya Choudhury, a rising sophomore Neuroscience major with a love for history.  She might say she doesn’t have any fun facts of the normal sort like having been to an exotic location or
being able to do some weird bodily contortion (Lies, she’s actually spending her summer in Peru and she can touch her nose with her
tongue), but she has other types of fun facts. Her fun facts aren’t as succinct as those usually told in ice breaker sessions - they come
out as you get to know her. When you can’t find her belting out the lyrics to “Mr. Brightside” at Rice’s latest public party, she’s either
on the powderpuff field pulling flags or watching her favorite show, The Newsroom. Feel free to ask Divya to play a round of pool or
table tennis, and she might even make a personalized playlist for you too. Divya is refreshingly honest, intensely thoughtful, and just
an incredibly caring human-being. Although Divya is an Austin, Texas native, she is more than excited to make Houston, Rice, and

Lovett '19 | COMP, ECON | Cypress, TX
Andrew represents the iconic Rice student. This Class of 2019 Lovetteer is good looking, majoring in Computer Science and Economics,
and he hails from Rice’s own hometown, Houston (he’s actually from Cypress, but close enough). By coaching Lovett’s Powderpuff
team and playing college ping-pong, Andrew has helped represent Lovett in college sports across campus. Off the field though, Andrew
has previously served as Secretary and External Vice President of Lovett, but his true goal is to one day become king of the pirates! To
do this, he follows a strict training regiment. In order to maintain his terrific tush, his diet consists of the only two important food
groups: meat and sriracha. But he’s not just eye candy. Andrew recently sold his soul to coding and now works at Microsoft as their
most (under) qualified intern. Despite his loud and spontaneous attitude, Andrew is one of the most reliable people you’ll ever meet.
He has a natural ability to turn strangers into friends and make everyone around him feel comfortable.

2 Kings 9:16
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.


| DOSE: |
480 mg |
oral |
DXM |
| |
|
insufflated |
2C-B |
I just got out of the ICU at the hospital. Friday night I took 480mg DXM and then snorted some 2C-B, I guess I snorted too much. I vomited the DXM and I felt fine, and I started tripping harder and harder and I tripped so incredibly hard. The synergism of these two substances was absolutely amazing, it's like a whole new drug, not DXM and 2C-B combined. It was more intense than anything, and it was so intense that the physical effects began to take hold.
After laying on the bed a while, my body felt prickly and tingly and I felt like I was laying on sandpaper. I started to fade away like I was about to sleep. I didnt really think much of this until I realized I wasnt breathing; those effects were from oxygen deprivation. 'Fuck!' I thought and started gasping for breath. But this kept happening. I'd try to keep my mind on breathing and I would forget and then only begin to breathe when I realized I wasn't breathing. I was suffocating myself. I had a near death experience several times. I felt like I could give up and slip away, and fall into like a sleep. And I really would have died too, of suffocation.
I couldn't even figure out how to breathe.   I stayed in the icu overnight and was released the next day. The DXM gave a false positive for PCP in drug testing.
It was scary that I came so close to death, I was actually considering not breathing and letting myself die. But I was thinking about how I'd die without ever being marrying or anything, without ever being loved, it made me sad. And I changed my mind and tried as hard as I could to concentrate on breathing.
The trip would have been amazing if if I wasn't dying. If I hadn't gotten to the hospital I would have suffocated. Now I owe my dad $1000 for the hospital bill. I'm fucked.

(constant) immSlot
create an immutable slot, which use '===' to test if value is mutated
(constant) mixin
add methods to Slot's prototype
Example
rimple.mixin({
negate() {
return this.val(-this.val());
}
});
const $$s = Slot(1).negate();
console.log($$s.val()); // output -1
(constant) mutate
mutate a group of slots, and starts ONE mutation proccess whose roots are these slots to be changed.
NOTE!!! this is not the same as set value for each slot one by one, but consider them as a whole to find the best mutaion path
Example
let $$p1 = Slot(1).tag('p1');
let $$p2 = Slot(2).tag('p2');
let $$p3 = $$p2.fork(it => it + 1).tag('p3');
let $$p4 = Slot(function ([p1, p2, p3], { roots, involved }) {
console.log(roots.map(it => it.tag())); // p1, p2
console.log(involved.map(it => it.tag())); // p1, p2, p3
return p1 + p2 + p3;
}, [$$p1, $$p2, $$p3]);
rimple.mutate([
[$$p1, 2],
[$$p2, 4],
]);
console.log($$p1.val(), $$p2.val(), $$p3.val(), $$p4.val()); // 2, 4, 5, 11
(constant) mutateWith
mutate a group of slots by applying functions upon them, and starts a mutation proccess whose roots are these slots to be changed
NOTE!!! this is not the same as set value for each slot one by one, but consider them as a whole to find the best mutaion path
Example
let $$p1 = Slot(1).tag('p1');
let $$p2 = Slot(2).tag('p2');
let $$p3 = $$p2.fork(it => it + 1).tag('p3');

===========================================
Hello Sir....


What You’re Seeing:
This demo takes the Laplace operator (also known as the Laplacian) on each point for the primary colors red, green and blue. The Laplacian is defined as the sum of the second derivative in the x and y directions.
How It Works:
In OpenCV, the Laplacian function uses the Sobel operator to produce the second derivatives with respect to x and y, and then adds them together.
What It’s Used For:
The Laplace operator performs a simple form of edge detection.
Try and Notice:
Point the camera at an object of a solid color. Note how the center of the object appears black, while the edges are the color of the the object.

Credit:
Based on the OpenCV Laplace example.
