Attention: Don't use it in production environment. It's an alpha version for a concept study.
This is an appsApp collection of high quality ui components with awesome backend and validation services full included. Now you build super sophisticated Angular/Ionic apps using TypeScript.
Circular condition validators (frontend and backend all-in-one!) are the unique selling points. You gonna love it!
You need mobiscroll
. Please obtain a licence (see https://www.mobiscroll.com/) and then run:
$ npm install -g @mobiscroll/cli
You also need apppsapp-cli
. So please install it by running:
$ npm install -g appsapp-cli
Once you have kick-started your ionic app, you have to import appsapp-module
and append mobiscroll
. Switch to your apps project root and run:
$ mobiscroll config ionic
$ npm install appsapp-module --save
and then add appsapp-module
to your Angular app.module.ts
import { AppsappModule } from 'appsapp-module';
@NgModule({
imports: [
AppsappModule.initializeApp({
apiKey: 'AIzaSyBEsibRXWWJrtSQ0SSKf7z8V9HpjdsnOF8',
projectId: 'test-32b81'
}, {
saved: 'Die Änderungen wurden erfolgreich gespeichert.',
processing: 'Die Verarbeitung läuft.',
wait: 'Bitte warten.',
done: 'Erfolgreich abgeschlossen.',
submitted: 'Die Daten wurden übermittelt.',
submittedInBackground: 'Die Daten wurden gespeichert und werden übermittelt, sobald eine Internetverbindung besteht.',
disconnected: 'Die Verbindung wurde unterbrochen.',
connected: 'Die Verbindung wurde wiederhergestellt.',
error: 'Fehler',
delete: 'Löschen',
add: 'Hinzufügen'
})
]
})
export class AppModule { }
It's very recommended that you create your own google firebase project
first and then provide its apiKey
and projectId
to the initializeApp config parameters.
Your component pages/home.ts
ts ends up with something like this:
import { AppsappModuleProvider, PersistableModel, HasConditions, IsInt, Min, Max, HasLabel, IsDateRange, HasDescription, IsSelect} from "appsapp-module";
@Component({
selector: 'page-home',
template: ´
<appsapp-input [model]="myModel"></appsapp-input>
<button ion-button round outline (click)="save()" [disabled]="!myModel.hasChanges()">
Änderungen speichern
</button>
´
})
export class HomePage {
myModel: myModel;
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, appsappModuleProvider: AppsappModuleProvider) {
this.myModel = appsappModuleProvider.new(myModel);
}
save() {
this.myModel.save({
name: 'googleSheets',
data: {
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>}
});
}
}
export class myModel extends PersistableModel {
@IsInt() @Min(5) @Max(15) @HasDescription('please enter a number') number: number;
@HasConditions([{property: 'number', value: 7, validator: 'min'}]) @HasLabel('Your text') text: string = 'test';
@IsDateRange() daterange: object;
@IsSelect({
source: {
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users',
mapping: {text: 'address.city', value: 'address.geo'}
}
}) adressen: object = [];
}
Congratulation, you have created your first form app with appsApp!
AppsApp has built-in backend services. Every model you define in the frontend (ts) is automatically used for validation in the backend services. You must not write any backend code yourself. Pre built are:
Add amazonAccessKey.json
to your project root and provide your Amazon SES IAM credentials, you have created before.
{
"accessKeyId": "XXXX",
"secretAccessKey": "YYYY",
"region": "eu-west-1"
}
Add serviceAccountKey.json
to yours project root with your google service account credentials. Don't forget the enable the relevant api services like google spreadsheet
and google drive
in your google developer console.
{
"type": "service_account",
"private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----------END PRIVATE KEY-----",
"client_email"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>}
You can trigger any url by calling webhook method. The triggered Url is receiving full object as serialized data by default.
myModel.webhook('http://your.host/api/rest').subscribe((a) => {
// done
});
You can define your own backend services for using as finishers, loading data or whatever you want to do with its. Just call a trigger action on your model:
myModel.trigger('nameOfYourBackendFunction').subscribe((a) => {
// done
});
Calling a trigger is invoking the backend function by adding an event queue entry named like your triggered action. Connecting to the event queues's actions is done by a simple node.js script (connectors for php and others is coming sonn):
var connector = require("appsapp-cli/connector").init('https://your-project.firebaseio.com/', path.dirname(__filename) + '/serviceAccountKey.json');
connector.on({action: 'nameOfYourBackendFunction'}, (request, response, observer) => {
// request: object with users request data
// response: your triggered model
execSql('SELECT TOP 1 A, B FROM YourDatabaseTable WHERE user = '+request.id).then((result) => {
result.data.forEach((row) => {
response.setProperty('A', row.A);
response.setProperty('B', row.B);
});
// observer: resolve will synchronize the updated model to the client
observer.resolve();
}).catch((err) => {
observer.reject(err);
})
})
More finishers and backend services are upcoming.
To make run the pre-build backend services described above, first of all you need firebase-cli
:
$ npm install -g firebase-cli
Then go to your apps project root and run:
$ firebase init
Choose ◯ Functions: Configure and deploy Cloud Functions
and select one of your previously created firebase project as the default project
for this project root.
Now you are ready to deploy the built-in backend services the first time:
$ appsapp
Please ensure that you have a working internet connection all the time.
While deploying firebase functions it takes a while. After first run you can speed it up by watching your apps build files for any changes. Start the following command whenever you are editing your apps source.
$ appsapp -w
Please note, that you have an internet connection while the script above is running. If not, then stop the script execution and start it again when you are connected next time.
All of the validators are also available from the appsapp-module
for importing to your ts files without any care.

Why J-Link?
In case you wonder why Eclipse Embedded CDT decided to provide support for SEGGER J-Link, the short answer is: because of J-Link EDU and of SWO. The long answer may include the following:
- wide processor support (probably you won’t find an unsupported Arm processor in the entire galaxy, and if you do find one, in a remote quadrant, I’m pretty sure it’ll be shortly added to the list)
- it is a true multi-platform solution, providing drivers for Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux, Intel and Arm.
- it comes with a standard GDB server implementation, compatible with existing Arm toolchains
- in addition to the classical JTAG protocol, it implements the new SWD protocol
- when SWD is selected, it is capable to sample the SWO pin, for trace messages and other Arm specific debugging
- it is fast, up to 15 MHz for JTAG clock and up to 7.5 MHz SWO sampling frequency for the new V9 hardware (12 MHz JTAG / 6 MHz SWO for V8, and even up to 100 MHz SWO for the high-performance ULTRA+, PRO models)
- it supports all possible target voltages, from 1.2V to 5V
- in addition to the regular debugging functionality, it is also able to write the internal flash, and, even more, it uses a smart flash writing algorithm, to avoid unnecessary writes if the flash blocks did not change
- it is a mature, proven product, with a great support team
- it provides an entire range of probes, J-Link, J-Link Pro, including a special priced version for educational use, the J-Link EDU (available from many distributors, for example from Farnell)
The J-Link was present on the JTAG market for many years, but, considering the initial prices, only commercial companies could afford them. After a fierce fight against Chinese clones, sold for a fraction of the price, in 2012 SEGGER decided to introduce a low price version, J-Link EDU, restricted to educational and non-commercial usage, making it the JTAG probe of choice for open source Arm development.
Overview
J-Link comes not only with a GDB server, but with a complete set of drivers and utilities, packed by SEGGER separately for each platform. The same distribution includes drivers for all J-Link probes, so installation is quite simple. The J-Link binaries are available from the SEGGER site.
There are different sections, grouped by platform (Windows, macOS, Intel GNU/Linux, Arm GNU/Linux); go to the platform of your choice.
Click the Download button close to the J-Link Software and Documentation Pack appropriate for your development platform. For Linux there are separate 32/64-bit versions, packed with different tools (DEB, RPM, TGZ); select the package that better matches your system.
Accept the terms of the software agreement and download the software.
Documentation
The J-Link GDB server is documented in the UM08001 manual, available either in the installed folder, or from the SEGGER J-Link page.
Install
The Windows download is an executable installer, named like
JLink_WindowsV684.exe
.
- double click it to start the installation process
- enter the administrative password
- accept the license
- accept the destination folder (
C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink
) - accept the default USB driver
The result of the install is a folder, and a set of driver files installed in the system folders, all overwritten with each new install.
Please note that on Windows, SEGGER provides both graphical interface
and command line versions (having the names suffixed with CL
) for
most of their tools. For the J-Link plug-in it is recommended to use
only the command line version of the J-Link GDB server
(JLinkGDBServerCL.exe
).
The macOS download is a macOS package installer, named like
JLink_MacOSX_V684.pkg
.
- double click it to start the installation process
- accept the license
- enter the administrative password, required to write in the global
/Applications
folder
The result of the install is a folder like /Applications/SEGGER/JLink_V684/
(a different folder for each version) where all executables and libraries are
stored; please note that, as for many macOS applications, no other driver
files are installed in the system folders, but some symbolic links to the latest
installed version are created in the /usr/local/bin
folder.
Be sure to update the path in Eclipse preferences page to point to the latest SEGGER J-Link software.
USB
On macOS, the USB subsystem automatically identifies and allows access to USB devices, without the need to maintain a manual list similar to the one used by UDEV in GNU/Linux. No other drivers or system configurations are required.
As already mentioned, there are multiple packages available for GNU/Linux on the SEGGER download site, in 32/64-bit versions. Preferably download the .tgz and install it in your home folder.
For example, on Ubuntu, to install the 64-bit .tgz file, use the following commands:
$ mkdir -p ~/opt/SEGGER
$ cd ~/opt/SEGGER
$ tar xf ~/Downloads/JLink_Linux_V684_x86_64.tgz
$ chmod a-w ~/opt/SEGGER/JLink_Linux_V684_x86_64
$ ls -l ~/opt/SEGGER/JLink_Linux_V684_x86_64
Raspberry Pi OS
On a Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit, use the 64-bit .tgz file, and unpack
it in ${HOME}/opt/SEGGER
:
$ mkdir -p ~/opt/SEGGER
$ cd ~/opt/SEGGER
$ tar xf ~/Downloads/JLink_Linux_V684_arm64.tgz
$ chmod a-w ~/opt/SEGGER/JLink_Linux_V684_arm64
$ ls -l ~/opt/SEGGER/JLink_Linux_V684_arm64
UDEV
After manually unpacking the .tgz, you need to copy the rules file:
$ sudo cp ~/opt/SEGGER/JLink_Linux_V684_*/99-jlink.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-jlink.rule
~/opt/SEGGER
path, since by default the Eclipse Embedded CDT plug-ins
search for the executables in this location. Be sure you respect the case,
it is all upper-case SEGGER.Testing
To test if J-Link is able to connect to a specific board, you generally need to specify the interface (JTAG or SWD) and the device name. By default, J-Link GDBServer will try JTAG but if only SWD is wired (which is very common on custom hardware), you would need to specify the interface (-if SWD). The device name is needed for targets which require special handling on connect (e.g. due to silicon bugs which make auto-detection impossible). For a list of available device names, please refer to the SEGGER Supported devices page.
Here is an example how to test a
SWD connection to a STM32F407 evaluation board (-device STM32F407VG
)
on macOS.
$ /Applications/SEGGER/JLink/JLinkGDBServer -if SWD -device STM32F407VG

Trump considering whether Apple should be exempt from China tariffs
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday after touring a plant that assembles Apple Inc computers that he was considering whether to exempt the U.S. company from tariffs on imports from China.
AUSTIN, Texas: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday after touring a plant that assembles Apple Inc computers that he was considering whether to exempt the U.S. company from tariffs on imports from China.
"We're looking at that," Trump said in answer to a reporter's question about the tariffs, after touring a plant in Austin, Texas, with Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook that assembles the company's Mac Pro desktop computers.
Cook, who has a strong relationship with Trump, has sought relief for Apple from the U.S. tariffs, which are part of a months-long tit-for-tat trade war between the world's largest economies.
"The problem we have is you have Samsung. It's a great company but it's a competitor of Apple, and it's not fair if, because we have a trade deal with Korea - we made a great trade deal with South Korea - but we have to treat Apple on a somewhat similar basis as we treat Samsung," Trump said.
Apple announced in September it would make its new Mac Pro computers in Austin. The announcement came days after U.S. trade regulators approved 10 out of 15 requests for tariff exemptions filed by Apple amid a broader reprieve on levies on computer parts.
Earlier this month, Apple also asked the Trump administration to waive tariffs on Chinese-made Apple Watches, iPhone components and other consumer products.
Trump has made boosting the U.S. manufacturing sector one of the goals of his presidency, taking to Twitter to pressure U.S. companies into keeping jobs at home.
Earlier on Wednesday, Apple said it had started construction of a new campus in Austin that will employ 5,000 workers, with the capacity to grow to 15,000. It is expected to open in 2022.

[telegram] <TheInterstellar> Anyone knows where to view the volume of atomic swaps performed on Komodo?
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> dexstats.info
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> I’m in there now but I’m looking for total volume to date of all atomic swaps performed on Komodo, any idea how to look it up? (re @polycryptoblog: dexstats.info)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Don't think there is a way, there is no central repository of trade data, and what dexstats shows is only what is public on netid1
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> There are 14000+ netid
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> And one can make private their offers
[telegram] <Acura360> Over 115000 Aromic Swaps actually
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> He is looking for volume of those swaps
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Only way I can think of to get a number for that is to go to all the Dex fee addresses and multiply by 777
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> 14,000 different swaps of 14,000 KMD worth of swaps? (re @polycryptoblog: There are 14000+ netid)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> No
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Think of it like an IRC, each netid is a different chatroom
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> So that’s 14k different atomic swaps, right? (re @polycryptoblog: Think of it like an IRC, each netid is a different chatroom)
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> How did you get that 115k number? (re @Acura360: Over 115000 Aromic Swaps actually)
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Did kmd interest go down?
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Decided to check my agama wallet after a while snd the interest i accrued seemed very low compared to the past
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> You have to claim monthly or it stops accruing
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Thank you
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> No. They are networks to do swaps on. Over 115k atomic swaps have been done (re @TheInterstellar: So that’s 14k different atomic swaps, right?)
[telegram] <mikeg59274> When did that take effect just so i know
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Just in Komodo there has been 7.2million volume (re @TheInterstellar: So that’s 14k different atomic swaps, right?)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> September I believe (re @mikeg59274: When did that take effect just so i know)
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Thank you
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Not going to calculate the nonKMD volume (re @polycryptoblog: Just in Komodo there has been 7.2million volume)
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Is it still 10 percent?
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Never was 10, 5% yearly if you claim every month
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> Ok... so the KMD volume of those 115725 atomic swaps is 7.2m KMD or USD ? (re @polycryptoblog: Just in Komodo there has been 7.2million volume)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Kmd
[telegram] <angelos_coinomi> Coinomi is ready for the Dec 15 Sapling update :)) Please update to the latest version in both platforms. :)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> You would have to convert the address to every coin BarterDEX offers and add them up together to see total volume (re @TheInterstellar: Ok... so the KMD volume of those 115725 atomic swaps is 7.2m KMD or USD ?)
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> Any idea when the 1st atomic swap was performed? (re @polycryptoblog: You would have to convert the address to every coin BarterDEX offers and add them up together to see total volume)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Well before BarterDEX, 2014 sometime
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> Any idea where to see that 7.2m KMD figure? (re @polycryptoblog: Just in Komodo there has been 7.2million volume)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> It's the dexfee address, RThtXup6Zo7LZAi8kRWgjAyi1s4u6U9Cpf
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Multiply by 777
[telegram] <TheInterstellar> The fee has always been 777 since 2014 ? (re @polycryptoblog: Multiply by 777)
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> 1/777 of the trade amount. And no that's just what is in BarterDEX . The first swaps didn't have a fee for spam prevention.
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> BarterDEX didn't come live til 2017
[telegram] <polycryptoblog> Important to note, BarterDEX isn't an exchange itself, but software to allow people to be an exchange, fundamental difference with other dexes
[telegram] <mikeg59274> The agama wallet is not letting me claim the interest
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Is this normal?
[telegram] <mikeg59274> Havent been on in a while

I never really liked him. I've always thought that when a catcher gives up that many free bases, it kind of takes away anything he can do with a bat in his hand. But he didn't do much with a bat in his hand....57 games, .270 1HR and 19RBI's. But you know, we are all drawn to certain players. My intention isn't to discredit your appreciation for him. I mean, my favorite Cub can't hit anything bigger than a single and is sitting in Triple A. ---
Geovany Soto was voted the top rookie in the National League for the month of April. Also in the running was Kosuke Fukudome.
In the month of April, Soto hit .341, had 5 HR and 20 RBI's. His OPS (On-base plus slugging percentage) was 1.059. Soto came up late last season to share the dish with Koyie Hill and batted .389 with 3 HR and 8 RBI's in 18 games.
What I appreciate the most about Soto is how much of an improvement he is compared to Jason Kendall. In the 52 games before he was traded to Oakland, Kendall gave up 52 stolen bases and only threw out 5 baserunners. That's a success rate under 9%. This year, Soto has given up 15 stolen bases and thrown out 10 baserunners. Soto's rate of throwing out baserunners is 40%. I just remember teams running all over Kendall, so it's nice to have a legitimate threat behind the plate.


Each Ensembl Genomes division, apart from Ensembl Bacteria, performs comparative analyses at the peptide level, and an additional pan-taxonomic comparative analysis is performed for a set of representative species from across the taxonomic space. In brief, the methodology uses peptide sequence alignments to cluster proteins, which are then aligned, and phylogenetic trees are inferred from those alignments. Finally, lists of orthologues and paralogues are derived from the gene trees.
For Ensembl Protists and Ensembl Fungi, one genome per species is included in the peptide comparative analysis. The selection of this genome is based on prior inclusion in Ensembl Genomes, or the date of its submission to INSDC. For Ensembl Bacteria, 108 important genomes are included in the pan-taxonomic comparative analysis; these are selected to provide one representative genome from any species which either features in the curated reference proteome set from UniProt, or which has a high citation rate in Europe PubMed Central.
A subset of orthologues are classified as a "high confidence" set. At a minimum, orthologous proteins must have percentage identity above a certain threshold, currently set at 25% for all species, and satisfy a "tree-compliance" metric that identifies orthologues inferred from dubious tree topologies.
For some species in Ensembl Metazoa, orthologue metrics have been calculated using two orthogonal sources of information: gene order conservation (GOC) and whole genome alignments (WGA). The methodology is described in more detail elsewhere, but briefly: The "GOC score" metric for a pair of orthologues measures whether the two genes up- and downstream of each gene in the orthologue pair are also orthologous, and allows for inversions and gene insertions. The "WGA coverage" metric determines the extent to which the orthologous regions have been aligned by pairwise genome alignments, primarily based on exonic coverage, with a small contribution from intronic coverage. Both metrics have a value between 0 and 100.
There is only an expectation for gene order conservation between species that are evolutionarily close; thus the GOC score is only calculated within Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Nematoda. Similarly, pairwise WGAs, and thus the related metric, are only available for a subset of fairly closely-related species. To classify orthologues as "high confidence", thresholds are applied to the orthologue metrics, according to the evolutionary distance between the species. Within Aculeata, Caenorhabditis, Drosophila, and Onchocercidae the GOC threshold is 50 and the WGA threshold is 50; no thresholds are applied beyond these clades.
Interactive gene trees and homologue data can be accessed in the genome browser, and also with the Perl API and REST service. Data files are also made available via the Ensembl Genomes FTP site.


Using QT in ROS Catkin Packages
Rviz plugins are basically QT widgets. CMakeLists.txt of the ROS package using QT needs to be modified accordingly for the compilation. ROS wiki provides several tutorials/examples about how to write a plugin for Rviz and how to configure the package. However, these materials are mainly for rosbuild. This article introduces how to use QT in ROS catkin packages, in other words, how to use QT for a package of ROS Groovy/Hydro or later. This article shows how to write the CMakeLists.txt for a package, which uses librviz for visualization.
The example package includes the following files:
++ rviz_gui_package
++ src
+- rviz_gui.cpp
+- rviz_gui.h
+- rviz_gui.ui
+- main.cpp
+- CMakeLists.txt
+- package.xml
To compile a QT executable widget, you need to add the following to your CMakeLists.txt:
find_package(Qt4 COMPONENTS QtCore QtGui REQUIRED)
include(${QT_USE_FILE})
add_definitions(-DQT_NO_KEYWORDS)
add_definitions(${QT_DEFINITIONS})
set(HEADER_FILES
src/rviz_gui.h
include/myviz.h
)
set(SOURCE_FILES
src/rviz_gui.cpp
src/main.cpp
${MOC_FILES}
)
set(FORM_FILES
src/rviz_gui.ui
)
QT4_WRAP_CPP(MOC_SRC_H
${HEADER_FILES}
)
QT4_WRAP_UI(MOC_GUI_H
${FORM_FILES}
)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
add_executable(rviz_gui ${SOURCE_FILES} ${MOC_SRC_H} ${MOC_GUI_H})
target_link_libraries(rviz_gui ${QT_LIBRARIES} ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
To understand why you should do this, you need to understand the QT build system. For detailed illustration, read this Document from qt-project.org. The image shown below is also from this document. I include it here just for convinence of reference.
The basic idea of the above code snippet,
- Line 1-4 set up the environment.
- Line 7-20 tells the build system the source/header/form files for the qt application.
- Line 22-24 correspond to “generated moc_*.cpp” block in the above image.
- Line 26-28 correspond to “generated ui_*.h” block in the above image.
- No resource file is used in this example, so “Resource files” and “generated qrc_*.cpp” blocks are not used.
- Line 30, according to Document, “As all intermediate files are generated outside the source tree, the header file generated by uic will not be located by the compiler. In order to handle this, the build directory needs to be added to the list of include directories.”
- Line 32-33 compile and link executables based on all user files and Qt intermediate files.

DESCRIPTION
cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD files to the Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and any other output are sent to the standard output.The first form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided on the standard input.

-
Report all of the previous errors as errors. - -q
-
Specifies that no information should be displayed. - -r
-
Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so that common whitespace, control character, and formatting problems are not treated as hard errors. - -v
-
Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status. - -vv
-
Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing results.
The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.
EXIT STATUS
cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The error codes are as follows:- 1
-
Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename. - 2
-
Unable to open or read PPD file. - 3
-
The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped. - 4
-
The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
EXAMPLES
The following command will test all PPD files under the current directory and print the names of each file that does not conform:find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -printThe next command tests all PPD files under the current directory and print detailed conformance testing results for the files that do not conform:

Internetwork Protocol Addresses or IP Addresses are uniquely assigned to each device connected to the internet. Similar to a home street addresses, an IP address is the address used to specifically identify every device. It is made up of numbers assigned by hierarchy and separated into four parts, each represented in bits. Every IP addresses is made up of 32 bits, 8 bits for each part of the address. The IPv4 was developed in the 1973 and then more commonly adopted in the 1980s, providing close to 4 billion unique address for every device connected to the internet. In an IPv4, the first set of numbers identify the country/network, followed by the region/network, then the subnetwork, and finally the identity of the device itself. Due to the large number of devices connected to the internet, programmers and engineers have developed the IPv6 which is made up of 128 bits, which will allow for very large amount of unique addresses.
Below is an example of an IPv4 address made up of a total of 32 bits broken down into its 4 sections, each containing 8 bits.
IP Packets contain a message or data that is being routed from a source to its receiving destination. The packet also contains the IP address of the data source as well as its destination address. It consists of a header section and a data section. The header section stores the IP addresses are stored and the protocol to be used in the data section of the packet. The data section stores the information being routed to its destination.
IP Routing is a set of protocols that determine the path of IP packets across numerous IP networks to its destination network. The router will refer to the routing tables within their software to decide the best possible path to route a packet towards its destination. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) manages sending and receiving of a packet. TCP ensures each packet has been received and sends and acknowledges receipt. If TCP realizes that a packet is missing any information, it will not receive it. TCP can be thought of as a guarantees mailing service.
To determine routing path: when a packet is received by a router, it will interpret the information it receives from the packet header. They do this through their routing protocols. A few of the most common routing protocols include:
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the most dominant protocol used across the internet. It is used to announce which IP addresses and networks are connected to each other.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) uses the hop count to determine the shortest path from one network to the next. The hop count is the number of networks packets must pass through.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is used to identify the fastest and shortest available routes for sending packets across networks.
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is used to exchange routing information among neighboring gateway hosts such as routing table information like known routers, the address they can reach and associated paths.

Extended Kalman Filter with an Example
Recently I’m working on projects that require state estimation. As a result, I would like to review the formulation of the Kalman Filter and how to apply it to nonlinear systems, using a simple example.
System Dynamics
The universe is in perpetual motion and nothing looks the same anymore if you just blink your eyes. However, the laws of physics also tell us that the properties of a system at a specific time point is related to its properties at previous times. We can capture this relationship using the following probability distribution:
where is the value of the properties at a specific discrete time point . The dynamics can often be modeled as follows:
Where is a (linear or nonlinear) function, is the control input and is the noise term, often referred to as process noise.
Observation Model
To understand the behavior of a system, we must measure its properties. However, every measurement contains errors and not all properties are directly measurable. Let the actual value of the property be ( can be a vector), the observation that we make, which consists of all measurable element of and is denoted , can be modeled as follows:
where is the observation matrix and is the observation noise term which has a specific probability distribution.
For example, let . If we are only able to measure and (because, for example, the sensor to measure is too expensive and we don’t want to pay for that), then .
If the properties of the noise term is well known, we can easily compute the observation model, which is the probability distribution of given the value of :
Recursive Estimation
Probabilistic state estimation tries to answer the following question: given a series of observations ~ taken at discrete time points ~ , what is the probability distribution of the actual property at time point ? The probability distribution is given by:
The recursive estimation is a method to compute the above mentioned probability in a more efficient way. As the name suggests, the probability distribution at time point is obtained recursively, using only the distribution at the previous time point and the new observation at time point . This is done in two steps.
First, we compute an estimation of the probability distribution of using only the observations taken up to time point :
The equation above holds because and are independent random variables given that we already know the value of .
Second, we improve the estimation obtained in the previous step using the latest measurement taken at time point :
This is true because and are independent random variables given that we already know the value of .
At this point, we are able to recursively compute P(\mathbf{x}k \mid \mathbf{z}{1:k}) using three main ingredients:
- Estimation at previous time step,
- System dynamics,
- Observation model,
Kalman Filter
Kalman filter is a special case of the probabilistic recursive estimation formulation described above. Kalman filter greatly simplifies the computation by introducing a number of strong assumptions:
- The system dynamics is linear: (this assumption can be dropped, as we will see later).
- The noise (both observation and process) terms are normally distributed with zero mean.
With the two assumptions, we are able to obtain an analytical solution to the recursive estimation equations derived earlier. Let be the normal distribution with mean and variance (covariance matrix in case of a multi-variable normal distribution). We define symbols as follows:
- is the covariance matrix of .
- is the mean of .
- is the covariance matrix of the process noise .
- is the Kalman filter gain matrix, the only tunable parameter in this estimator.
First, we estimate the mean and variance using previous measurements:
Second, we improve the estimates using measurement :

What we accomplished
This week we spent a lot of time thinking about and iterating on our design. The team all met each other and we initially decided on pursuing a project called Symbolia which focused on allowing the user to evaluate math expressions and simple programming concepts by allowing the user to draw these in 3D space. We spent a pretty significant amount of time thinking about what project to pursue before deciding on this one, and we created a website and various pieces of concept art for Symbolia, since we thought that this work was due on Thursday. On Thursday, the course staff did not like our idea so we had to start from scratch. We spent a significant amount of time on Thursday and Friday thinking about ideas and how the implementation would look like and we eventually settled on trying to focus on somehwat novel hand tracking technology to teach a user programming concepts.
The project that we decided to pursue is called Blockly, which is an environment where users can learn how to program by introducing various ways that a user can perform fundamental programming concepts (ie. looping, variable assignment, etc) using hand motions to control a block. We spent a good amount of time on Saturday redoing our work to create a brand new website, concept art, a video, and this blog post! We still need to work out a few aspects of our design, but we feel fairly confident about the main ideas.
Plan for next week
Our main goal for next week will be to really hammer down on the exact specifics of how users will learn programming from our system (ie. what is the user interface, what exact hand commands should correspond to which programming concepts). Our deliverable will be a finished PRD that will give us a good plan moving forward. We hope to get our environments all set up for programming in Unity and by the end of the week (ie. after we finish our PRD) we want to be ready to start implementing a prototype a prototype.

You completed a questionnaire after each training session about how your anxiety had been since your last session. This allowed us to track your progress over the course of the MindTrails study.
The graph below shows the changes in your score on the anxiety questionnaire, which is called the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (Norman, Cissell, Means-Christensen, & Stein, 2006). On this scale, the higher the score, the more difficulties with anxiety you reported at that point in time.
The orange line shows your specific scores on each day. The blue line shows your overall change pattern, taking into account the variation that occurred across sessions.
What do my scores indicate?
Your change in scores suggests that you improved a lot over the course of the study. Congratulations on making such great progress!
Your change in scores suggests that you experienced some improvement over the course of the study, but may still have some remaining anxiety symptoms. Congratulations on the progress that you have made thus far, and we encourage you to keep working on managing your anxiety to experience further improvement!
Your change in scores suggests that your anxiety did not change a lot over the course of the study. This could have occurred for many reasons — for example, the program is not a great match for your needs; or you were not in a study group that was expected to be the most effective (see below); or this may be an unusually difficult or stressful time for you. We are sorry that the program was not more helpful for you and that you are still experiencing significant anxiety symptoms. We strongly encourage you to keep working on managing your anxiety because there are many different treatment options that can be helpful, and we hope you will find a program that is a good match for you.

You were in a control group.
When reviewing this graph, we'd like to let you know that you were in a control group, and did not receive the training sessions that we expect would best improve your anxiety.
If you would like, you may now complete the training that we expect will be most helpful. Please send an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the subject line "Control group" to get started.
In addition, if you wish to seek further care for your anxiety difficulties, we strongly encourage you to review the Mental Health Resources page, which can help you find other independent (e.g., books, computer, or mobile app) or therapist-guided treatment options.
You were in the active training group.

Next: *gensym-counter*, Previous: copy-symbol, Up: Symbols Dictionary
gensym
&optional x ⇒ new-symbol
x—a string or a non-negative integer. Complicated defaulting behavior; see below.
new-symbol—a fresh, uninterned symbol.
Creates and returns a fresh, uninterned symbol, as if by calling make-symbol. (The only difference between gensym and make-symbol is in how the new-symbol’s name is determined.)
The name of the new-symbol is the concatenation of a prefix, which defaults to "G", and
a suffix, which is the decimal representation of a number that defaults to the value of *gensym-counter*.
If x is supplied, and is a string, then that string is used as a prefix instead of "G" for this call to gensym only.
If x is supplied, and is an integer, then that integer, instead of the value of *gensym-counter*, is used as the suffix for this call to gensym only.
If and only if no explicit suffix is supplied, *gensym-counter* is incremented after it is used.
(setq sym1 (gensym)) ⇒ #:G3142 (symbol-package sym1) ⇒ NIL (setq sym2 (gensym 100)) ⇒ #:G100 (setq sym3 (gensym 100)) ⇒ #:G100 (eq sym2 sym3) ⇒ false (find-symbol "G100") ⇒ NIL, NIL (gensym "T") ⇒ #:T3143 (gensym) ⇒ #:G3144
Might increment *gensym-counter*.
Should signal an error of type type-error if x is not a string or a non-negative integer.
The ability to pass a numeric argument to gensym has been deprecated; explicitly binding *gensym-counter* is now stylistically preferred. (The somewhat baroque conventions for the optional argument are historical in nature, and supported primarily for compatibility with older dialects of Lisp. In modern code, it is recommended that the only kind of argument used be a string prefix. In general, though, to obtain more flexible control of the new-symbol’s name, consider using make-symbol instead.)

Today is the last day of our family of two. This weekend, my daughter will be born.
My wife is 39 weeks pregnant today. We’ve been busily preparing our home for the arrival of our daughter, who happens to be the first girl born in either family since Lindsey. We’ve been blessed with support from our families and we wouldn’t have been able to do nearly as much as we have in the time we were given.
How do I know my daughter will be born today? Because if Lindsey doesn’t go into labor by tonight, we will go to the hospital and be induced.
I’m in a weird place right now. This was not the plan. Everything has gone so well over the last 39 weeks, it feels almost like we’re dropping the ball at the goal line.
There are mental positives and negatives to this whole arrangement. Pro: I don’t have to anticipate waking up in the middle of the night to my wife’s contractions. Con: I have to think about the induction and possible cascading effects all day. It’s hard not to think about the negative impacts of medically inducing labor when you’re staring it in the face.
I trust our doctor. I trust his judgement and wisdom. I trust his staff, who alerted us to the fact that Lindsey’s amniotic fluid is lower than it should be. But I also trust that God has arranged all of our meetings, relationships, and circumstances with our best interests in mind. While this isn’t the path we were hoping to take, it doesn’t matter what we had in mind. All that matters is the fact that Lindsey delivers the baby safely, and that we can all come home together.
We’ve been prepared and we’ll continue to be equipped. We’re ready for two to become three.

Running A/B Tests
This is the second post in a series on A/B testing. In the last post, I gave a high-level overview of what A/B testing is and why we might do it. This post will go a few steps farther. I’ll discuss how an A/B test is run, what we’re looking for along the way, and what happens when we call it one way or the other. This will set us up for the next post, which will discuss the mechanics of A/B testing.
How Can I Run An A/B Test?
In the last post, I laid out a hypothetical A/B test where I was considering changing the underline color for links on my blog from red to blue. As a refresher: Blue was the variant (the new proposed color) and red was the control (the current state of the world). We were testing to see if a blue underline would cause significantly more users to click the links to my blog posts. “But,” you ask, “how does the test actually happen?” That’s a great question! But first, a disclaimer: I’m not an engineer, so I can only give a bird’s eye view of how we do it at CollegeVine. I’m sure there are many other solutions used by other companies.
At CV, we use a tool called LaunchDarkly for running A/B tests. Essentially, LaunchDarkly lets us set up “feature flags” and show the version of the code that’s “behind” them to only certain users. For example, you might imagine you were rolling out a risky new change, and wanted to QA it first. One way we’ve done this kind of thing at CV is to put the risky change behind a feature flag, and then roll it out to our own team. Then, our team can QA and if anything looks off we can either fix the issues or revert the changes before rolling out to external users.
A/B testing with LD works similarly. Instead of only showing a new version of the code to internal users, we use a feature flag that shows each version of the code to a certain proportion of users, at random. The idea is to use the feature flag in LD to randomly sample users of our site into either the control group or the variant group. Then we track metrics over time to see if the variant is outperforming the control group.
My Experiment Is Running. Now What?
Back to our hypothetical experiment on my blog. Now, half of users are seeing red-underlined links, and half are seeing blue underlines, at random. So now, we need a way to track the conversion rate of those links. In step a whole bunch of business intelligence (BI) tools, and other tools that brand themselves as being tools for all different flavors of analytics. At CV, we use a tool called Heap for user analytics (including A/B testing).
Let’s imagine that my blog were wired up to Heap, and tracking page views on my landing page and clicks of the links on that page to individual posts behind the scenes. In Heap, we could visualize the conversion rate from the landing page to any post in a funnel or in a table, where the conversion rate between the two is the proportion of users who hit the landing page that end up clicking one of the links (“converting”) to a post. We could also view these numbers in a table, where we’d have one cell that has the total number of sessions on the landing page and another cell with the number of sessions on the posts, and the conversion rate is the latter divided by the former (roughly).
Since we have our feature flag set up to track which users are being placed in each group, we can also group by that “property” in Heap, which lets us separate our analysis into the control and the variant. This means that we can compare the conversion rates for the red underline and the blue underline, which is exactly what we’re trying to do! Generally, we’ll set up a Heap dashboard with the funnel we’re interested in so we can track out metrics over time.
Interpreting the Metrics
Now that the funnel is set up, you’re watching results stream in. Let’s imagine that at some point in time, each group has 1000 users (i.e. 1000 users have seen the variant and another 1000 have seen the control), and 250 users in the variant group converted while only 200 in the control group did. From there, we can calculate our conversion rates as 25% (variant) and 20% (control). And for the purposes of keeping this post simple, let’s assume that lift is big enough for us (by some definition of “big enough”, which we’ll get to in a later post). In that case, we call our test for the variant. In practice, this means we route all traffic to the variant instead of splitting it 50/50, and then we can remove the feature flag from our code and boom! We now have some cool blue underlines for the links on the blog.
But back to the lift being big enough: In practice, is knowing that the variant is performing 25% better than the control enough to call the test for the variant? Making this call in a rigorous, informed way is what the rest of the posts in this series will discuss.
