Introduction
Audience
There are three main audiences for this document. The first would be the implementing technical team that would be composed of the developers, testers and analysts who will implement the software system. The second group would be the IC I.T. team who would be in charge of hosting and deploying the system. Lastly, this document is also for the I.S. team tasked in software support, enhancement and maintenance.
Purpose
The Insurance Commission (IC) desires to have data-driven information system software that is accessible to everyone in need of the data parked there.
The IC desires to have their system equipped with a high level of maintainability. It also requires a high flexibility in adding functionality.
IC desires the ability to integrate current stand-alone web applications as well as future developments with respect to data exchange and secure access.
This document describes a design for a Web Application (Web App) that aligns to the desires of IC in realizing an information system that will support them as IC moves to whole new level of public service.
Assessment
Throughout the interview stage of the project, I have assessed several needs and opportunities that drive design. Listed here are points of note and how I believe we can use them as guidance for the development stage.
The current development man-power of IC is not so large. It will then benefit enormously from having the ability to split roles in project among in-house and third-party developers. The MVC architecture has good role-splitting mechanism (e.g. frontend views, backend controller).
The information system needs of IC is large. It will force the files to be split into many logical directories. Since no single developer can claim his logic is better than all the rest, we recommend following a framework so that all system developers, current or future, will know where each type of file will be found. The Laravel framework has a good directory structure, which is similar to other popular frameworks such as Rails.
Policy changes seem to be a fairly regular occurence in IC. It would be great if End-Users confident that particular link will give them what they need and failing that, will return empty and not give them anything else that may cause confusion. It would be great if End-users are confident that new features will mean new links and would simply expect those to be available in response to policy. These benefits are part of implementing a RESTful architecture pattern through the uniform interface constraint.
There would be two (2) main environments for system usage. The first is within the IC for data access needs in support of analysis and reportorial requirements. The second environment in insurance companies, as a means to submit data and obtain feedback from IC.
The users for the first environment are IC staff for data access and report generation and IC heads for report consumption. The users for the second environement are the insurance company staff to prepare and update requirements as draft submissions and the insurance company head to authorize submissions.
The system is for having a central repository of files and data for IC interaction with insurance companies.
The main functions are secure login to a centralized data-driven web application that allows access to resources depending on the user rights of their IC staff or insurance company staff. Part of the resources are soft copies of the submissions to IC (i.e requests, schedules and reports).
The main interfaces are a insurance company interface and an IC interface per division. The main inputs to the system are the various required from insurance companies. The main outputs of the system are support for the reports that IC generates.
Architecture
The relevant architectures used in this design are
- Model-View-Controller (MVC)
- Representational State Transfer (REST)
- Active Record Architectural Pattern
These software architecture patterns are compatible with each other when the development is done in a certain way, which are described more throughout this document.
I recommend one of the following actions to better ensure that the overall architecture is followed, that key patterns implemented consistent with each other and the benefits on reliability, scalability, security and maintainability are achieved for IC.
Please choose 1: 1. Get the same team who designed to develop the system 2. Get at least part of the design team to be part of the development team 3. Take a software architect from the design team as design consultant in the development phase and resolve each development obstacle in keeping with the principles of the architecture 4. Make sure that a software architect, who understands the design, guides the development and inspects if the architectural constraints in the design document are observed.
This is like in making a building. Every great and large building has an architect all the way from its start to the end.
The basic architecture will look like this:
(https://medium.freecodecamp.org/understanding-the-basics-of-ruby-on-rails-http-mvc-and-routes-359b8d809c7a)
Model-View-Controller
All requests from clients to the server will be brought to the controller to be preprocessed and routed to the proper action. The controller will direct the actions to the Model when database access is necessary and direct it to the Views when the data requirements are satisfied.
Every service that the server provides are in terms of actions/ methods for a particular Controller. The default means of output or feedback is through Views that correspond to the actions in the Controller. These controllers may have corresponding Models if they have need to access the database. The Models contain the relationship among the tables in the database. They provide access to database table rows as class instances. The provide access to the fields of a table as object properties.
In this manner, it would be possible to change the underlying relational database management system without altering the base code. The clients can also change web browsers or web-browsing devices without affecting the services rendered by the system.
I agree with the advantages of using MySQL or MariaDB initially to maximize compatibility with most of the databases used in IC. I recommend that Aurora MySQL RDMS be used when moving operations into the cloud. I also recommend a migration to the PostgreSQL database at some point prior to developing the part of workflow automation where a lot of computation will be necessary. MySQL is best for text heavy databases such as blogs and websites. PostgreSQL tends to excel more for Information Systems (IS).
MVC allows a degree of separation between the front end of the system and its backend. This will be especially be useful when aesthetics and usability improvements are desired while making sure that the underlying data and logic are kept safe during the implementation of the changes.
We recommend the MVC framework Laravel for the purpose of IC, where there are I.S. division already has skills in the underlying technologies of the framework and will find it easy to adapt. I recommend switching all development to a framework as soon as possible to make all the resulting systems more scalable, maintainable and future-proof.
REST Pattern
Implementing the web application using the framework of Representational State Transfer maximizes scalability of multi-developer multi-group contribution and access. It makes the system resilient with respect to changes in the services requested by the Clients , while having the Server keep assumptions about Clients at a minimum.
The REST pattern allows expansion in complexity through adding layers between the Client and the Server with each layer only interacting with the one immediately above or below it. This makes it easier for the system to work with proxy servers and network gateways.
The REST patterns imposes some other important constraints such as being stateless and having a uniform interface. Using Laravel's resource controller route allows automatically generated and thus, uniform interfaces, so that other developers can safely and easily request for server resources. This will allow multiple IC or non-IC developers to work on a single project together. This will also allow future developers to continue the work of former developers that may have left the service of IC.
It is important to keep in mind that all requests must be sending a representation of what is required and not commands to the server. The server will still have the ability to ignore or serve the request. Also, the server can send hypermedia, or invitations to access other services or resources from the server. The server provide or push any unrequested service to the Client. What this will do for the UP-IC FEDS is to allow safe addition and removal of features during run time. New or enhanced features will not interfere with current usage without the explicit request for their use. Also, when old features are retired, the server can safely catch any request towards those features and handle them appropriately since the Client cannot directly command the Server.
Active Record Architectural Pattern
We recommend that the Active Record Pattern be used as the approach for accessing database data in IC.
In this pattern, each Table of View is mapped into a class. Each instance of the class gets mapped into a row of the Table. There is automatic syncing. New ORM objects are saved in the database. Existing objects are loaded from the database. Changes to object properties are reflected as updates to the database. Finally, when objects are deleted, corresponding rows in the database are destroyed.
Objects have methods for Insert, Update and Delete. Calls to object properties give the data. Foreign key relationships for joined Tables are used by having one object accessed through a property of another object.
By using Laravel's ORM Model and not directly accessing the database through SQL statements, the Active Record Architecture can be enforced. IC will then have the ability to easily move to other databases in the future such as PostgreSQL and even other proprietary database management systems.
Using this architecture pattern also has other benefits such as enforcing constraints in linked data deletion, protecting your dependent data against accidental deletion.
Process and Workflow
The processes per Division with their corresponding designs are listed separately. Please proceed to that section to see descriptions of the designs that adhere to the architecture stated herein.
Common workflows among processes include User Administration, Data Monitoring and Transaction Audit. Specific processes have dataflow diagrams.
Environment and Network
The following Environment diagram can be supported by the Heroku PAAS on top of the AWS cloud service. This is what I recommend for the next phase of development.
The current on-premise servers in IC also capable of hosting the servers according to the diagram.
digraph G{
node[shape=box]
edge[dir=both]
"Production Server" -> "Database Server";
"Clients" -> "Production Server";
"Pre-Production Server" -> "Mirrored Database";
"Change Manager" -> "Pre-Production Server";
}
The software is recommended to be initially cloud developed with the choice of moving on-premise after development. This will allow maximum flexibility in efficient adding of security and reliability to the system during development that can more-readily be translated to on-premise at a future point.
Development and Testing will be done on local machines and not on the server.
Deployment View
I suggest to use a Platform as a Service (PAAS) for the first deployment of the system. This is a middle layer to Cloud Infrastructure.
Specifically, I suggest using Heroku PAAS that is built on top of the AWS cloud. I find this as a best-practice intermediate step going to a direct cloud Infrastructure as a Service.
For file storage, we recommend the AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) for the security and reliability it provides. It also has a stable and well developed API for use with the recommended framework.
By doing the above, we will be able to capture, real-time bandwidth, redundancy and security requirements for the system that will guide any future deployment and expansion.
Should on-premise deployment be pursued: The services are provided by the local server. The server, whether on-premise will be provisioned and maintained with standard performance parameters of within ~70 percent of average capacity for bandwidth, memory and processing. The clients will be nodes within the network with applicable access rights. The server actions in response to logged client requests.
Implementation View
We recommend a Git-based source code version control. Examples of which are Gitlab, Bitbucket and Github. This can be hosted by IC once a stable version 1.0 of the system is released. For initial development, the code is recommended to be stored in a private cloud-based repository.
We recommend month-long agile sprints as a development methodology for implementing this design over a 9-12 month period.
Data Management
Data conversion and migration would be through Excel or similar spreadsheets and SQL databases. Archiving data will be through database backups and secure cloud-based storage.
Security Authentication Authorization and Audit
Authentication would be through login accounts set per division or per insurance company access rights.
Authorization would on the company side, would rely on the account given to the company head. Authorization on the IC side may be designated to each Division Head for each division. Deputy Commissioners would have authority over all their divisions.
All actions will be logged by the system. For actions that impact the database, the logs will include enough data to reverse the change being done.

Are you using iTunes 7.6.1, by any chance? In that case, this is a known issue; see:
http://wincent.com/a/support/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=601
Apple introduced a change in 7.6.1 which I am hoping they will back out in 7.6.2. But your bug report does shed some light on a possible workaround: basically it looks like iTunes is notifying that a new track starts playing, but when Synergy asks it for the artwork it doesn't have it ready yet; so the workaround may be to delay asking for the artwork by some small interval.

--- layout: newsstory title: WORRYING TIMES match: Yeltz 0 Kings Lynn 1 ---
And it gets worse. Another very disappointing loss, this time 0-1 at home to lowly King's Lynn and we're in big trouble. We've now lost 6 on the trot and are just two points above the relegation zone, with most of the teams below us having games in hand.
It's now pretty obvious that something is seriously wrong. Rumours of emergency board meetings must mean Stewart Hall's job is in jeopardy now. Personally I've always thought he's a brilliant manager, but I'm not sure how long the current slide can be allowed to continue without something being done.
I'm sure we'll be discussing this on the Yeltz Mailing List this week, so if you've got anything to say on this (or any) subject, please feel free to join in.


public final class DD
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable, java.lang.Cloneable
A DoubleDouble uses a representation containing two double-precision values. A number x is represented as a pair of doubles, x.hi and x.lo, such that the number represented by x is x.hi + x.lo, where
|x.lo| <= 0.5*ulp(x.hi)and ulp(y) means "unit in the last place of y". The basic arithmetic operations are implemented using convenient properties of IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic.
The range of values which can be represented is the same as in IEEE-754. The precision of the representable numbers is twice as great as IEEE-754 double precision.
The correctness of the arithmetic algorithms relies on operations being performed with standard IEEE-754 double precision and rounding. This is the Java standard arithmetic model, but for performance reasons Java implementations are not constrained to using this standard by default. Some processors (notably the Intel Pentium architecure) perform floating point operations in (non-IEEE-754-standard) extended-precision. A JVM implementation may choose to use the non-standard extended-precision as its default arithmetic mode. To prevent this from happening, this code uses the Java strictfp modifier, which forces all operations to take place in the standard IEEE-754 rounding model.
The API provides both a set of value-oriented operations and a set of mutating operations. Value-oriented operations treat DoubleDouble values as immutable; operations on them return new objects carrying the result of the operation. This provides a simple and safe semantics for writing DoubleDouble expressions. However, there is a performance penalty for the object allocations required. The mutable interface updates object values in-place. It provides optimum memory performance, but requires care to ensure that aliasing errors are not created and constant values are not changed.
For example, the following code example constructs three DD instances: two to hold the input values and one to hold the result of the addition.
DD a = new DD(2.0); DD b = new DD(3.0); DD c = a.add(b);In contrast, the following approach uses only one object:
DD a = new DD(2.0); a.selfAdd(3.0);
This implementation uses algorithms originally designed variously by Knuth, Kahan, Dekker, and Linnainmaa. Douglas Priest developed the first C implementation of these techniques. Other more recent C++ implementation are due to Keith M. Briggs and David Bailey et al.

ABSTRACT
Svetazarov A.N., Kovalev M.F. Theoretical substantiation of the computational algorithm of fuel consumption by dump trucks. Visnyk National Transport University. Series «Technical sciences». Scientific and Technical Collection. - Kyiv: National Transport University, 2020. - Issue 1 (46).
The purpose of article is to determine, design and construct (optimize) algorithm of quantitative and qualitative indicators of efficiency of use and economy of fuel by dump trucks during unloading cycle.
The article considers a group of factors on which fuel consumption depends and determines which factors are the priority. An analysis of the existing normative calculation of fuel consumption for dump trucks, which operates in Ukraine at the state level. Also, in the article the fuel consumption is considered depending on the loading characteristic of the car-dumper at different speed of rotation of the crankshaft, change in fuel consumption, depending on the speed and impact on the fuel consumption of the gear ratios in the general form without cargo and with the load, dependence of fuel consumption on the average speed of unloaded and loaded vehicle.
An analysis of the main material and methods for calculating fuel consumption by dump trucks was carried out on the basis of which the conclusion was drawn and presented in the article.
The object of the study is the change in fuel consumption by dump trucks during unloading at different crankshaft rotational speeds.
The study of fuel consumption by dump trucks during the unloading process requires detailed study, since the exact fuel consumption rate for this process has not been determined and studied, therefore the issue of cost, optimization and fuel economy in the unloading cycle is relevant and requires further research.
KEYWORDS: DUMP TRUCS, FUEL CONSUMPTION, UNLOADING PROCESS

| lesson 43 Fully insured |
| Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. |
| Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. |
| If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather. |
| Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. |
| It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. |
| But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique. |
| Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. |
| It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. |
| The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. |
| Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. |
| At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. |
| Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water. |
| The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. |
| Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. |
| They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. |
| The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. |
| Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. |
| The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. |
| For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, |
| but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. |
| The men were now obliged to try once more. |
| This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains. |
| The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. |
| The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. |
| Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water. |
| Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. |
| There was a danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again. |
| By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned. |

98 has a missing (
i can probably guess where to put it, but best to avoid such guessing
maybe after (ts[0]-ts[W])) there is an extra ), which would make this error too

good i asked, that would have changed things
zawy05-Aug-19 03:39 PM
I beleive I have it where there's no chance of overflow

I changed that? It is supposed to be 1

oh sorry, we got rid of the -W, my bad fixing my side
i will need to change the code for the actual bnTarget calcs, but i will make it isomorphic to your code and it should be easy to see they are equivalent

i had to change integers back to int32_t as you cant use arith_uint256 as array index, but the code should still be something you can read?
zawy05-Aug-19 03:54 PM
125, remove the -1
that's all i see
I need to generalize the comments away from N=3
jl777c05-Aug-19 03:58 PM
great! i will start converting the bnTarget changing so it compiles
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:08 PM
@zawy updated RT_CST_RST with the bnTarget calcs so it compiles. assuming it is as you want, i can next integrated it into the nBits calculation function
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:29 PM
testing ZAWY16 with 15x attack first. it will need 64 blocks before it kicks in
i avoided the less than full dataset issues by not starting it until there is full data
zawy05-Aug-19 04:30 PM
It seems like converting K all the time is a lot more inefficient than simply delcaring it as arith256
Is there a problem with using max()?
I assume it is just an if statement to the compiler
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:33 PM
yes, i've been burned before by a MAX that was a macro which ended up behaving differently, since it boils down to an if, simpler to use and if and be 100% sure what the code is doing
only one usage of K could have been saved, the other time it is scalar multiplied and actually at compile time as K is a fixed value
maybe i should #define K to 1000000, then the compiler can optimize the arith_uint256 conversion
zawy05-Aug-19 04:35 PM
I see BTG code does not worry about multiplying things like arith256 and int64. It seems like there should not be an issue with mixing int types
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:35 PM
ooops. it crashed. debugging
zawy05-Aug-19 04:37 PM
if ( altK < K ) should be >
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:38 PM
but you wanted max,so if altK ends up less than 1 million, it should be set to 1 million?
zawy05-Aug-19 04:38 PM
i messed up
wait
right, i should have said min. if alt k makes it harder, (lower) use altk, else use k
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:42 PM
fixed
found and fixed the crash
will mine with 1 core till there is 64 blocks and then ramp to 15x, i assume this logic will handle that case too?
zawy05-Aug-19 04:54 PM
yes, it should start trigging on 6x or less, but 15x is needed to kind of start see flex more. the 1x, 10x, 100x, and 1000x cases shoudl be tested, and that will show pretty much how the 1e6 case will go
SHossain05-Aug-19 04:54 PM
i can start pool and a Z9 Mini whenever needed
just waiting for a GO signal
zawy05-Aug-19 04:55 PM
let it go at 1x for awhile to cofirm it's not jumping aruond much. Then 3x to see if it's too whacky for mild cases
I'm more worried about 2x to 10x cases than anything
or 1x to 5x(edited)
jl777c05-Aug-19 04:57 PM
ok, i will test the <15x cases to make sure it is working as expected, did that 20 times yesterday so i know what a good test run should be like
single core blazed through the blocks, already past 64. seeing altK, but diff is not really changing much at 1 core, though it is stuck on 68 for a 2 minutes now
since it has 64 fast timestamps, i would imagine it is boosting the diff quite high. altK of around 100k
j is 33 and ii is 33, i also see 36 and 26
this seems like it stopped the "attack" 3 blocks after it "started" as the DAA only kicked in at height 64
zawy05-Aug-19 05:03 PM
exactly
4th block is when it kicks in
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:03 PM
with altK values of about 100k, that is a 10x increase in diff?
now 200k altK
zawy05-Aug-19 05:04 PM
that's the bnTarget multiplier isn't it? should be 100x decrease in diff
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:05 PM
the single core will need the exponential to kick in to save it
zawy05-Aug-19 05:05 PM
oh, right 1e6 divisor
yes, 10x difficulty
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:05 PM
and then the average block time will be much closer to what it should be
and that is exactly what happened
diff even went up very slightly 2.44 to 2.47
will the altK kick in for 50 more blocks?
zawy05-Aug-19 05:07 PM
No, the triggers can stop and you'll have difficulty driopping immediately back down to digi as before
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:08 PM
yes, i see, only W deep
it finding blocks
zawy05-Aug-19 05:09 PM
No, it's active for as long as too many blocks have been issued....the triggers stop when emission rate is corrected(edited)
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:10 PM
yes, that is what it is doing. so far working good. boost to 5x?
zawy05-Aug-19 05:10 PM
yes
no
try 2x for 30 minutes
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:10 PM
it got 9 blocks in 11 minutes
zawy05-Aug-19 05:11 PM
oh, heck, do 5x for 30 minuite(edited)
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:11 PM
diff stable at 2.4 with 1 core.
ok boosting to 5x
ht 73 at 11 past
found 3 blocks pretty quickly
zawy05-Aug-19 05:12 PM
yeah, the triggers stopped and it's back to digi
oh, no, the 5x boost(edited)
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:13 PM
triggers still going
zawy05-Aug-19 05:13 PM
triggers are still active when i = 0
jl777c05-Aug-19 05:14 PM
i put a printout when it changes bnTarget
making diff 3x harder
which is pretty accurate
zawy05-Aug-19 05:14 PM
I feel great that it looks like it will act like a precision machine

I recently got a free copy of RJS Templates for Rails from the Milwaukee Ruby User's Group. O'Reilly has a program that makes books available for free to Users Groups, which is a really nice thing (of course they bank on the word-of-mouth advertising that comes from it. Hi O'Reilly!
RJS Templates for Rails is an O'Reilly "Short Cut" which is basically a small book released as a PDF only. It offers a brief look into some of the things that you can do with RJS templates that were added in Ruby on Rails 1.1. RJS is a way to write client-side JavaScript using the Ruby language and JavaScriptGenerator API. This allows you to do complex, multi-step processing to modify different parts of the page in a single request.
The JavaScriptGenerator API is accessible from within a Controller and from RJS Templates. Which you use is part style and part pragmatic. For one-liners it is often just easier to write the code inline, reserving the RJS templates for more complex scripts.
Inline code would look like: {% highlight ruby %} def hide_details render :update do |page| page[:details].hide end end {% endhighlight %}
Where an RJS template is automatically wrapped with the render :update
block.
{% highlight ruby %}
page.insert_html :bottom, 'list', '
Both of these are simple examples of course, but they give you an idea of what's going on. Each of these would generate JavaScript and send it back to the client where it would be executed in the browser. You can see that you do not have to write any JavaScript to use these techniques. The only thing that you have to do is to include the Prototype library in your pages using: {% highlight ruby %} <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> {% endhighlight %}
RJS Templates for Rails is a really quick read that does a good job of getting you started with using RJS and the JavaScriptGenerator API. It starts with a very simple example program that you can have up and running in a matter of minutes. It continues with a slightly more in-depth example of an application that really uses some of the more interesting aspects of RJS including multi-element page updates with a single request.
The book offers a reference to the API that gives you a quick reference to the methods that you can use to program JavaScript in Ruby. Being a short book, it does not offer a slew of recipes that you would want from a more comprehensive book. This feels like an appetizer to me, giving me a taste of what's available, whetting my appetite for more.
In the abstract, RJS Templates for Rails actually offers some really good insight into how some people are doing AJAX with code generation techniques. Instead of writing JavaScript, they are creating APIs in their programming language of choice and then using code generation techniques to output the client-side code. While this style requires that the toolkit creator knows a great deal about the language being generated (JavaScript), it can encapsulate that knowledge so that others can leverage it without getting into the details. This is how the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) works as well for the Java camp. Prior to reading this book I don't think I quite got what the big deal was, but now I see these frameworks really can do some incredible things for people who don't want to "get their hands dirty" doing client-side development.
If you're an AJAX whiz, I'd doubt that this would offer a lot unless you just wanted to see another implementation and didn't know a lot about Rails. But if you want to see how easy it could be to add some really interesting AJAX features to a Rails application, this can help you get started. You'll almost definitely want to get a more comprehensive book to give you some more ideas on how to handle a broader range of situations.

P.S. The October 2006 issue of MacTech has a really good article on RJS as well. It covers some of the same basics that the PDF covers, using a few different examples.


For my usability course. My group and I wanted to delve into the struggles of health insurance and target low income families in California. We designed an app to organize and manage health forms and billing while translating medical terminology.
My role in this project was Content and Market Stragetist, I also designed the find health care provider text feature.
We got this idea through a fast paced brainstorming session on what public health applications could be created with out any technology or world limitations. We narrowed it down to looking at insurance and a patients experience at the doctor. Our group went into research to look at waht are the struggles of going to the doctor. We found that the health insurance process and understanding benefits and what a patients health insurance offers is overwhelming. We also found that a large percentage of people speak different languages and this got us thinking: What happens when there is a language barrier between the patient and the doctor?
We began storyboarding different scenarios and personas for the use of an translating health insurance app.
We made sure to look at the details of each persona and how they would use the app. After this we went into lo-fi prototyping.
after lo-fi user testing we got more feedback on what to include with the app and what is not working and what if. Our team went back to the drawingboard on what flows to focus on and what flows to take out. Our key objective is to make the experience of going to the doctors easy and less stressful. For patients to not be intimdated with the language barrier or not understanding what their health insurance will cover and what to know about follow-up and billing.
We went back to the storyboard process and created new personas with the redesigns we made. After creating the new storyboards we went forward with the high fidelity prototypes.
This was the flow I designed for users finding health care and then making an appointment after
While we thought the UI and flow made sense, that didn't mean others did. We conducted more user testing. We went around and asked other classmates to test out our app. Before the user testing began, I asked participants about their experience with health insurance and health care in general. After their responses, we began the demo. I asked them if they can do the following task: interact with the dashboard and find a health care provider. I sat down an appropriate distance away from the participants and observed how they interacted with the flows. I noticed there was some hesitation on certain screens and kept that in mind. After the participants finished the tasks, I asked follow up questions. I asked them to describe their experience using the app, asked them if they could explain their thought process on screens they hesitated on or tapped on areas where there wasn't an active button.
We recorded their responses and did more redesigning on the application.
Overall, our objectives with this app is to emphasize a simple way to go through healthcare and breaking the barriers with language.
further work would go into: - putting more emphasis on the language translation flow

Once upon a time, many years ago when our grandfathers were little children—there was a doctor; and his name was Dolittle—John Dolittle, M.D. "M.D." means that he was a proper doctor and knew a whole lot.
He lived in a little town called, Puddleby–on–the–Marsh. All the folks, young and old, knew him well by sight. And whenever he walked down the street in his high hat everyone would say, "There goes the Doctor!—He's a clever man." And the dogs and the children would all run up and follow behind him; and even the crows that lived in the church–tower would caw and nod their heads.
The house he lived in, on the edge of the town, was quite small; but his garden was very large and had a wide lawn and stone seats and weeping–willows hanging over. His sister, Sarah Dolittle, was housekeeper for him; but the Doctor looked after the garden himself.
He was very fond of animals and kept many kinds of pets. Besides the gold–fish in the pond at the bottom of his garden, he had rabbits in the pantry, white mice in his piano, a squirrel in the linen closet and a hedgehog in the cellar.  But his favorite pets were Dab–Dab the duck, Jip the dog, Gub–Gub the baby pig, Polynesia the parrot, and the owl Too–Too.
His sister used to grumble about all these animals and said they made the house untidy. And one day when an old lady with rheumatism came to see the Doctor, she sat on the hedgehog who was sleeping on the sofa and never came to see him any more, but drove every Saturday all the way to Oxenthorpe, another town ten miles off, to see a different doctor.
Then his sister, Sarah Dolittle, came to him and said,
"John, how can you expect sick people to come and see you when you keep all these animals in the house? It's a fine doctor would have his parlor full of hedgehogs and mice! That's the fourth personage these animals have driven away.  We are getting poorer every day. If you go on like this, none of the best people will have you for a doctor."
"But I like the animals better than the 'best people'," said the Doctor.
"You are ridiculous," said his sister, and walked out of the room.
So, as time went on, the Doctor got more and more animals; and the people who came to see him got less and less. Till at last he had no one left—except the Cat's–meat–Man, who didn't mind any kind of animals. But the Cat's–meat Man wasn't very rich and he only got sick once a year—at Christmas–time, when he used to give the Doctor sixpence for a bottle of medicine.
Sixpence a year wasn't enough to live on—even in those days, long ago; and if the Doctor hadn't had some money saved up in his money–box, no one knows what would have happened.
And he kept on getting still more pets; and of course it cost a lot to feed them. And the money he had saved up grew littler and littler.
Then he sold his piano, and let the mice live in a bureau–drawer. But the money he got for that too began to go, so he sold the brown suit he wore on Sundays and went on becoming poorer and poorer.
And now, when he walked down the street in his high hat, people would say to one another, "There goes John Dolittle, M.D.! There was a time when he was the best known doctor in the West Country—Look at him now—He hasn't any money and his stockings are full of holes!"
But the dogs and the cats and the children still ran up and followed him through the town—the same as they had done when he was rich.

NON-REPORTABLE IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION (CIVIL) NO.36179 OF 2013 G. Sundarrajan …. Petitioner Versus Union of India & Ors. …. Respondents WITH I.A. NO.3 IN C.A. NO.4440 OF 2013 J U D G M E N T
K.S. Radhakrishnan, J.
1. This Court, while disposing of the case titled G. Sundarrajan vs. Union of India reported in (2013) 6 SCC 620, gave 15 directions for due compliance by AERB, NPCIL, DAE, MoEF, TNPCB, State of Tamil Nadu, etc. Complaining that those directions had not been complied with, the Petitioner herein filed Writ Petition No.19286 of 2013 before the Madras High Court praying for a declaration that the clearance granted by AERB for ‘First Approach to Criticality’ (FAC) of Unit 1 of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KK NPP) on July 11, 2013 be declared as null and void. Writ Petition was heard along with few other writ petitions like WP No.15829 of 2013 and Writ Petition No.20161 of 2013 and the same were disposed of by a common judgment dated 29.7.2013, against which the Petitioner in Writ Petition No.19285 of 2013 has come up with this Special Leave Petition. The Petitioner has also moved I.A. No.3 of 2013 in Civil Appeal No.4440 of 2013 for a direction to the respondents not to commission the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant till each of the 15 directions given by this Court in the aforementioned judgment has been complied with and till they are properly verified by an independent expert committee appointed by this Court.
2. When SLP (C) No.36179 of 2013 came up for hearing, we passed an order on 17.2.2014 directing the respondents to file their response with regard to steps they have taken to give effect to the fifteen directions given by this Court. In compliance, the Respondents have filed their affidavits and status report.
3. We heard Mr. Prashant Bhushan, learned senior counsel for the Petitioner, Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned Solicitor General of India, Shri Rakesh Dwivedi, learned senior counsel appearing for the State of Tamil Nadu, Shri Subramonium Prasad, AAG and other learned counsel appearing for the contesting respondents.
4. AERB in its affidavit dated 24.3.2014 explained the various steps they have taken so as to comply with the various directions issued by this Court. With regard to the concern expressed about the possibility of quality issues with equipment from specific source, it was also pointed out that additional re-verification was carried out before FAC. While doing so, it was stated that the quality aspects of the safety related equipment in KK NPP from that source had not been compromised. AERB Observers Team re- verified the implementation of QA requirements from initial stage of manufacturing up to final receipt of the component/ equipment at Kudankulam. It was pointed out, no non-conformance of significance to safety was observed. With regard to direction no.5, it was pointed out that SNF can be stored for a minimum period of 7 years within plant in Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) located in Reactor Building. Design of the same, it was pointed out, has been reviewed from the point of adequacy of design, surveillance requirements, monitoring provisions to ensure safe storage considering plant and public safety. For storage beyond 7 years, Away From Reactor (AFR) facility is planned by NPCIL. NPCIL has submitted the roadmap for design, construction and completion of AFR facility specifying that the AFR facility would be operational by May, 2018 after obtaining clearance from AERB. With regard to direction no.7, it was pointed out that DGR is to be set up based on national policy and regulatory review would be carried out as and when design for the same is evolved. In the meantime, as per the current regulatory practices, AERB would ensure safe storage of SNF in the spent fuel pool or AFR at Site and ensure that the transportation is in accordance with the AERB requirements. Detailed response has been made to rest of the directions in the affidavit filed by AERB.
5. NPCIL has also filed an affidavit along with Annexure A furnishing the status report with regard to the directions issued by this Court in the above-mentioned judgment. NPCIL with regard to direction no.1, pointed out that the quality of equipment supplied by M/s Zio-Pololsk such as steam generator, cation and anion filters, mechanical filters, moisture separators and re-heaters etc. are fully accessible for any inspection, and none of Zio-Pololsk supplied equipment to KKNPP are subject to neutron irradiation. Further, it was submitted that to fulfil the directions in para no.230 of the judgment, report has been filed. With regard to direction no.7, it was stated that as the present storage capacity of each Spent Nuclear Fuel Bay (SNF Bay) is adequate to accommodate discharged fuel for a period of seven years starting from its first refuelling operation, and hence as such the AFR facilities would only be required eight years after the First Criticality of the KKNPP Unit-1. Further, it is also stated that a Task Force for finalisation of design, design basis report to construct Away From Reactor (AFR) facility for KKNPP Unit 1 & 2 has been constituted by NPCIL vide office Order dated May 15, 2013 and that the Task Force has prepared a roadmap for the design and construction of AFR. It was further pointed out that NPCIL is committed to complete the AFR facility within five years. Reply has also been given to the rest of the directions as well.
6. Detailed affidavit has been filed on behalf of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board stating the steps they have taken to comply with the directions. Following the directions of this Court, it was pointed out, the officials of the Board inspected the plant on 18.5.2013 along with the members of the Department of the Atomic Energy, NPCIL, MoEF, etc. to verify the status of compliance of conditions stipulated by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board in the consent order granted under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. It was noticed that the Unit has complied with the conditions and the consent order issued to the Unit. Further, it was pointed out that the Unit has installed temperature measuring device both at the sea water intake and marine out fall facility, and the difference between ambient temperature of the sea and the water disposed into sea by the Unit is not exceeding 7ºC as per the conditions stipulated by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board.
7. The District Collector, Tirunelveli District, submitted a status report with specific reference to direction nos.11 to 15. With regard to direction no.11, it was pointed out that the first off-site emergency exercise was conducted on 9.6.2012 at Unit at Nakkanery village with the support of the concerned Ministries of the Government of India, Officials of the State Government and the local authorities, etc., and that the next exercise will be conducted as per the guidelines shortly after the Parliamentary Elections are over. With regard to direction no.12, it was pointed out that under the Neighbourhood Development Programme (NDP) being implemented by the Unit, a sum of Rs.200 crores has been earmarked for various projects. It was pointed out that the projects have been identified and that an Apex Committee has been constituted to oversee implementation of the NDP. Further, under NDP, a sum of Rs.45 crores has been sanctioned towards first instalment of the total amount of Rs.200 crores and from the released funds, work for the installation of Solar Street Light (200 Nos.) and Solar Motor Pumps (32 Nos.) has been completed. Further, it was also stated that the upgradation of Koodankulam Primary Health Centre to Government Hospital and improvements to Chettikulam Sub Centre, construction of new PHC are nearing completion. The construction of new PHC at Ovari is completed and the improvement and widening of roads (29 roads) around the Unit has been completed. Further, it was also pointed out that around the Kudankulam surrounding area, the Government issued an order to construct 5000 houses at the estimate of Rs.150 crores during the year 2013-2014. With regard to direction no.13, it was pointed out that training had been conducted in August, 2011, for the State Government officials of various departments including revenue, police, medical, fire, etc. and that a refresher course was organised in June, 2012. Further, it was stated, schedule for refresher course is being planned in consultation with District Administration. With regard to direction no.14 relating to the consent of withdrawal of criminal cases filed against the agitators, it was pointed out that out of 349 cases, 248 cases had already been withdrawn since in those cases no violence was noticed. However, with regard to other cases i.e. cases of lay siege through sea (6 cases), cases of violence against private individuals (40 cases) and cases of violence against Government officials (55 cases), it was stated, it is not possible to withdraw the cases as the violations and crimes committed are very serious in nature. The question whether the rest of the cases be proceeded with or not is for the trial court to decide on which we express no opinion.
8. After perusing the various affidavits filed by the Respondents, we notice that the directions given by this Court are being properly addressed by the Respondents and there is no laxity on the part of the Respondents in not carrying out various directions of this Court. For full implementation of directions, evidently, it may take some more time and we are sure that the Respondents would make earnest efforts to give effect to all the directions of this Court in letter and spirit.
9. Shri Prashant Bhushan, learned senior counsel appearing for the Petitioner, submitted that a team headed by a former Chairman of the AERB be constituted to examine as to whether these directions are being properly implemented or not. We find it unnecessary to appoint any Committee at this stage since the status report and the affidavits indicate that the Respondents are taking necessary steps so as to give effect to various directions, even though some of the directions are yet to be fulfilled, which naturally would take some more time. At the moment, we find no reason to give any further directions.
10. The Special Leave Petition is disposed of as above, so also the I.A.

THE MUSE A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: A screenwriter who has lost his edge meets a real muse, a spirit said to inspire artists. The price of the muse's services is to be constantly pampered in some of the most exquisite ways possible. Albert Brooks once had a great ear for how people talk and a great eye for how they behave, but he himself may be losing his edge. In spite of a few very clever moments this is far from Brooks's best or his most perceptive comedy. Rating: 5 (0 to 10), low +1 (-4 to +4)
In his new film Albert Brooks plays a screenwriter who can still write funny material but is losing his "edge." He does not know what it means to be losing his edge, but he is losing it nonetheless. Sadly, the script of THE MUSE itself is often very funny, but Brooks seems to be losing his own edge. The Albert Brooks edge was to be able to write dialog that is both funny and true. In LOST IN AMERICA when his wife gambles away "the nest egg," part of the punishment that Brooks thinks of on the spur of the moment is she is no longer allowed to use the words "nest" or "egg." She must order fried THINGS for breakfast. If she sees a bird's home she must call it a round STICK. This is very funny material because it is so ridiculous and at the same time so possible. But that very real sort of humor is missing from THE MUSE. In this film that kind of dialog is lost in all the sarcasm.
Stephen Phillips (Albert Brooks) is a Hollywood screenwriter who may be just getting to be past his prime. When his latest script is rejected he starts worrying about how to feed his family. He goes to his friend, the fabulously successful screenwriter Jack Warrick (Jeff Bridges). But who is this beautiful woman kissing Jack good-bye? It isn't his wife. This is a side of Jack that Stephen has not seen before. Eventually Jack admits reluctantly that this woman is not his mistress but really his muse. Literally she is a muse. She is one of the nine daughters of Zeus. If you treat her like a queen she will inspire you to your most creative ideas and your best work. Stephen decides that he has nothing to lose and decides to make her his muse. Her name is Sarah.
Stephen starts seeing the Sarah (Sharon Stone) and taking up the responsibility of keeping her happy. Things that appeal to her tastes do not come cheaply. It costs tens of thousands of dollars a week to keep her in the style to which she expects to live. But she apparently is the real thing and Stephen starts getting story ideas that may all be worth the effort of keeping the pampered, spoiled, conscienceless brat happy at all hours of the night with expensive snacks. He will indulge her even if it wrecks his marriage. And it nearly does as his wife Laura (Andie MacDowell) foolishly jumps to the conclusion her husband is having an affair and then (surprise!) she very cleverly realizes that explanation does not explain the strange behavior. Again the film parallel its own story when Stephen complains that his new screenplay is lacking a third act and then he chooses one that seems tacked on. The ending is clearly the weakest part of the film. Brooks ties things up, but not in at all a satisfying way.
Sharon Stone clearly is enjoying herself behaving pampered and spoiled the way most people secretly would like to be. Brooks is his usual irritable character, but he has played this character too often before. He has also arranged an impressive lineup of familiar film personalities to flesh out his story.
What is unfortunate about THE MUSE is that Brooks walked right by the best use of his concept and he never even noticed it. The real story is not the Muse's relationship with Stephen Phillips. The story to tell is how does a Muse establish herself in a cynical town like Hollywood. How does she make her first conquests? How is her reputation established? This may be a story more in the realm of Thorne Smith, but it is certainly where the interesting ideas are. THE MUSE is rated PG-13 for language and a moment of totally pointless gratuitous nudity that apparently is present only to avoid a PG rating. Speaking of rating, I give THE MUSE a 5 on the 0 to 10 scale and a low +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

144 Mixing Colors Given ﬁrst class colors, the next question is, what operations apply to them, the way arithmetic operators apply to numbers and higher order functions apply to lists? The equivalent to adding numbers is mixing colors, but unfortunately there isn’t a simple answer to what that means. The easiest kind of color mixing to understand is additive mixing, which is what happens when you shine two colored lights onto a (white) wall. It’s also what happens in your computer screen, where each dot (pixel) of an image is created by a tiny red light, a tiny green light, and a tiny blue light that can be combined at different strengths to make different colors. Essentially, additive mixing of two colors is computed by adding the two red components, the two green components, and the two blue components. It’s not quite that simple only because each component of the result must be in the range 0 to 255. So, red (255, 0, 0) mixed with green (0, 255, 0) gives (255, 255, 0), which is yellow. But red (255, 0, 0) plus yellow (255, 255, 0) can’t give (510, 255, 0). Just limiting the red in the result to 255 would mean that red plus yellow is yellow, which doesn’t make sense. Instead, if the red value has to be reduced by half (from 510 to 255), then all three values must be reduced by half, so the result is (255, 128, 0), which is orange. (Half of 255 is 127.5, but each RGB value must be an integer.) A different kind of color mixing based on light is done when different colored transparent plastic sheets are held in front of a white light, as is done in theatrical lighting. In that situation, the light that gets through both ﬁlters is what remains after some light is ﬁltered out by the ﬁrst one and some of what’s left is ﬁltered out by the second one. In red-green-blue terms, a red ﬁlter ﬁlters out green and blue; a yellow ﬁlter allows red and green through, ﬁltering out blue. But there isn’t any green light for the yellow ﬁlter to pass; it was ﬁltered out by the red ﬁlter. Each ﬁlter can only remove light, not add light, so this is called subtractive mixing: Perhaps confusingly, the numerical computation of subtractive mixing is done by multiplying the RGB values, taken as fractions of the maximum 255, so red (1, 0, 0) times yellow (1, 1, 0) is red again. Those are both straightforward to compute. Much, much more complicated is trying to simulate the result of mixing paints. It’s not just that we’d have to compute a more complicated function of the red, green, and blue values; it’s that RGB values (or any other three-dimensional color space) are inadequate to describe the behavior of paints. Two paints can look identical, and have the same RGB values, but may still behave very differently when mixed with other colors. The differences are mostly due to the chemistry of the paints, but are also affected by exactly how the colors are mixed. The mixing is mostly subtractive; red paint absorbs most of the colors other than red, so what’s reﬂected off the surface is whatever isn’t absorbed by the colors being mixed. But there can be an additive component also. The proper mathematical abstraction to describe a paint is a reﬂectance graph, like this: (These aren’t paints, but minerals, and one software-generated spectrum, from the US Geological Survey’s Spectral Library. The details don’t matter, just the fact that a graph like these gives much more information than three RGB numbers.) To mix two paints properly, you multiply the y values (as fractions) at each matching x coordinate of the two graphs.


In this tutorial, we will show how to use this web site effectively.
Every tutorial usually consists of a number of pages, with highlighted Macaulay2 code.
If you click or tap on the highlighted Macaulay2 code, the code will be sent to the server, and evaluated. The result will be displayed in the right hand window. For example
R = QQ[x,y,z]
F = (x-1)^3 - (y-1)^3
factor F
If you are already familiar with Macaulay2 and know some commands, you can type them directly in the right hand window.
You are on the first page of this tutorial.  After you are finished with a page, click or tap on the right arrow key. You can also go back to previous pages of the tutorial by clicking on the left arrow button.
Right now, please continue to the next page of the tutorial.
There are two main ways of getting help on a topic in Macaulay2. The first method gives you text help in the Macaulay2 output window. For example,
help determinant
This displays in the Macaulay2 output window how to use the function "determinant". Note! In many browsers, you will have scroll bars to go back, but in some, notably most versions of Safari, the scrollbars are there but hidden!
Alternatively, and more usefully, you may obtain the web version by using:
viewHelp determinant
This opens the documentation page in another browser window or tab. You can surf through the links there to see other Macaulay2 documentation.
Depending on your browser settings, you may be navigated to this new page, or not. Your Macaulay2 web session is still active in any case! You might need to disable popup window blocking in your browser in order to get the help page.
When you write M2 functions or long loops, it is often more convenient to write your code in a separate window and execute the code after you wrote it. This allows you to easily modify previous code and move the cursor around freely. When installing Macaulay2, you can best achieve this behavior by using emacs, see
viewHelp setupEmacs
Clicking or tapping the Input button at the top of the page, navigates you to the Input Window. This is where you may type in Macaulay2 code and have it evaluated.
In that window, place your cursor on a line that you wish to evaluate, and either click the Evaluate button, or press Shift-Return (both keys at the same time).
Alternatively, you may select several lines, or a part of a line, and clicking Evaluate (or press Shift-Return) will evaluate the selection.
You try it! Click Input, type in some Macaulay2 input, or try out some of the example lines already there. When you are ready to come back to the tutorial, click or tap on the Tutorial button at the top of the page. You will end up right here!
To save your work: Click on the Save button at the top right of the window. A dialog will appear where you can save the text in the Input window, or the text in the Macaulay2 output (or both). Alternatively, you can just select the text you wish, and copy it.
When your browser starts, it starts a Macaulay2 process on our server. All of your input, either typed and evaluated, or run by pressing buttons, goes to this process. If you open a second window or tab in the same browser, you will get the same session.
You might wish to start fresh, or restart Macaulay2, if a computation is going on too long. In this case, press the Reset button at the top of the page.
When you first connect to this web site, a cookie is generated, and that is used to connect to your Macaulay2 process on the server. If you quit your browser, and it is set to remember windows, then it remembers the cookie, and you can reconnect back to the same session. If not, then a new session is created. The server will remove the session after some length of time, currently several days or a week.
Sometimes the server must be restarted for maintenance or other reasons, and at those times, all sessions are terminated.
Use the Upload File button to upload files to the Macaulay2 server that can then be loaded into your Macaulay2 session. Suppose that you have uploaded a file named foo.m2 which contains Macaulay2 code. You may then load this file into Macaulay2 using either:
load "foo.m2"
or, if you wish to see all of the lines executed one by one:
input "foo.m2"
Note: these lines will likely give errors now, as the file foo.m2 probably doesn't exist on the server!
It is possible to run shell commands from within Macaulay2, although many operations are restricted. For example, to see what files you have in your home directory on the server, try:
get "!ls -a"
Sometimes Macaulay2 or one of its packages generates image files. For example, the displayGraph function below creates a jpeg file.
needsPackage "Graphs"
A = graph({{v_1,v_3},{v_2,v_4},{v_1,v_4}})
displayGraph A
Sometimes your Macaulay2 code will create a file as output. How to download this onto your machine? Here is one way. This first line creates a file for the purpose of this example.
"important-results.txt" << "very important results" << close
The next line will present a download dialog for you to obtain the file on your machine.
get "!open important-results.txt"
The server is being shared with other users, therefore memory and CPU time are limited (generous, but limited). Other restrictions include: upload file size, number of processes that can run, and the amount of time that the session is saved on the server.
If you would like to help develop this site, or if you have tutorials that you would like to upload please contact us. The code for this server is at tryM2 on github.

MINDISTANCEPOINTS compute minimal distance between several points DIST = minDistancePoints(PTS) Returns the minimum distance between all couple of points in PTS. PTS is an array of [NxND] values, N being the number of points and ND the dimension of the points. DIST = minDistancePoints(PTS1, PTS2) Computes for each point in PTS1 the minimal distance to every point of PTS2. PTS1 and PTS2 are [NxD] arrays, where N is the number of points, and D is the dimension. Dimension must be the same for both arrays, but number of points can be different. The result is an array the same length as PTS1. DIST = minDistancePoints(..., NORM) Uses a user-specified norm. NORM=2 means euclidean norm (the default), NORM=1 is the Manhattan (or "taxi-driver") distance. Increasing NORM growing up reduces the minimal distance, with a limit to the biggest coordinate difference among dimensions. [DIST I J] = minDistancePoints(PTS) Returns indices I and J of the 2 points which are the closest. DIST verifies relation: DIST = distancePoints(PTS(I,:), PTS(J,:)); [DIST J] = minDistancePoints(PTS1, PTS2, ...) Also returns the indices of points which are the closest. J has the same size as DIST. It verifies relation : DIST(I) = distancePoints(PTS1(I,:), PTS2(J,:)); Examples: % minimal distance between random planar points points = rand(20,2)*100; minDist = minDistancePoints(points); % minimal distance between random space points points = rand(30,3)*100; [minDist ind1 ind2] = minDistancePoints(points); minDist distancePoints(points(ind1, :), points(ind2, :)) % results should be the same % minimal distance between 2 sets of points points1 = rand(30,2)*100; points2 = rand(30,2)*100; [minDists inds] = minDistancePoints(points1, points2); minDists(10) distancePoints(points1(10, :), points2(inds(10), :)) % results should be the same See Also points2d, distancePoints --------- author : David Legland INRA - TPV URPOI - BIA IMASTE created the 15/06/2004.

I’ve been running my personal email server for almost 6 years. The initial setup was on “bare metal”. Afterwards only little maintenance time was needed. Recently I decided to reduce number of servers and moved to another provider. To avoid migrating “bare metal” setup, I dockerized it. It is still not very easy to use compared to existing solutions, but works for my scale.
