Implementation of the Interval Testing Procedure for functional data in different frameworks (i.e., one or two-population frameworks, functional linear models) by means of different basis expansions (i.e., B-spline, Fourier, and phase-amplitude Fourier). The current version of the package requires functional data evaluated on a uniform grid; it automatically projects each function on a chosen functional basis; it performs the entire family of multivariate tests; and, finally, it provides the matrix of the p-values of the previous tests and the vector of the corrected p-values. The functional basis, the coupled or uncoupled scenario, and the kind of test can be chosen by the user. The package provides also a plotting function creating a graphical output of the procedure: the p-value heat-map, the plot of the corrected p-values, and the plot of the functional data.

One of the great developments in product design has been the adoption of A/B testing. Instead of just guessing what is best for your customers, you can offer a product variant to a subset of customers and measure how well it works. While undeniably useful, A/B testing is sometimes said to encourage too much “hill climbing”, an incremental and short-sighted style of product development that emphasizes easy and immediate wins.
Discussion around hill climbing can sometimes get a bit vague, so I thought I would make some animations that describe four distinct pitfalls that can emerge from an overreliance on hill climbing.
If you climb hills incrementally, you may end up in a local maximum and miss out on an opportunity to land on a global maximum with much bigger reward. Concerns about local maxima are often wrapped up in critiques of incrementalism.
Local maxima and global maxima can be illustrated with hill diagrams like the one above. The horizontal axis represents product space collapsed into a single dimension. In reality, of course, there are many dimensions that a product could explore.
If you run short A/B tests, or A/B tests that do not fully capture network effects, you might not realize that a change that initially seems bad may be good in the long run. This idea, which is distinct from concerns about incrementalism, can be described with a dynamic reward function animation. As before, the horizontal axis is product space. Each video frame represents a time step, and the vertical axis represents immediate, measurable reward.
When a product changes, the intial effect is negative. But eventually, customers begin to enjoy the new version, as shown by changes in the reward function. By waiting at a position that initially seemed negative, you are able to discover an emergent mountain, and receive greater reward than you would have from short-term optimization.
Short-term optimization can be bad, not only because it prevents discovery of emergent mountains, but also because some hills can be transient. One way a hill can disappear is through novelty effects, where a shiny new feature can be engaging to customers in the short term, but uninteresting or even negative in the long term.
Another way a hill can disappear is through loss of differentiation from more dominant competitors. Your product may occupy a market niche. If you try to copy your competitor, you may initially see some benefits. But at some point, your customers may leave because not much separates you from your more dominant competitor. Differentiation matters in some dimensions more than others.
You can think of an industry as a dynamic ecosystem where each company has its own reward function. When one company moves, it changes its own reward function as well as the reward functions of other companies. If this sounds like biology, you’re not mistaken. The dynamics here are similar to evolutionary fitness landscapes.
While all of the criticisms of hill climbing have obvious validity, I think it is easy for people to overreact to them. Here are some caveats in defense of hill climbing:

[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> @Llama anything is possible
[dscrdeql] <Biomech-Founder> A dome would be somewhat difficult. A slightly assymentrical sphere, egg shaped actually, would be a fairly good design for a seastead.
[dscrdeql] <Biomech-Founder> Bottom of it would be ballast, which could easily be partially fresh water storage
[dscrdeql] <Llama> giant floating sphere

I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still.
“Da doo ron ron, horse begone!” she cried. It was an incantation, in a field, and sure enough, the horse to whom she addressed these words turned and cantered away, until it could no longer be seen in the mist and the drizzle.
Somebody told me that her name was Jill, but before I could ask her, she was casting her spells again.
“Hoo-di hoo-di woo, cow begone!” she yelled, at a cow, but this time without the desired effect. The cow just stared back at her, chewing its cud, the way cows do.
“Hoo-di hoo-di woo, cow begone!” she repeated, a little desperately, I thought. If I'd been the cow, I would have sensed a moment of panic, of confidence drained. Jill—if Jill was her name—repeated her incantation too soon. The cow did not move.
So I took the opportunity to stride purposefully across the field in my creaking black boots until I was face to face with her.
“Somebody told me that your name is Jill,” I said, essaying a bow as if I were some sort of Regency fop.
“My name is not Jill,” she hissed, “I am the Woohoohoodiwoodadooronron Woman. Fop begone!” and I found myself propelled by some eldritch force into a weird netherworld where I languish to this day, my only companion the horse. There is no sign of the cow.


LIAR LIAR A film review by John Bauer Copyright 1997 John Bauer
***1/2 (out of 4)
It feels a tad awkward giving a Jim Carrey movie a higher rating than a near-universally praised epic like THE ENGLISH PATIENT. Antithesis indeed! I don't think I even like Jim Carrey; other than BATMAN FOREVER (hardly representative), I have studiously avoided his films. (I've seen previews.) But there it is. And somehow it must be dealt with.
Let's start with the premise: a stereotypically conniving lawyer must tell the truth for 24 hours. This "high concept" actually has the makings of a wonderfully clever, witty examination of the role of truth in our lives and society. LIAR LIAR isn't it. So does its appeal lie in the emotional underpinnings of a career-obsessed father confronting his sordid, vapid life and effecting real change? Only if you think JERRY MAGUIRE was a groundbreaking film.
Then why did I enjoy this movie so much? For better or worse, the answer is ... Jim Carrey! Somehow this man who can't go 30 seconds without breaking into his schtick has come up with a tour de force of meaningful slapstick. The scene that illustrates this best is when his character (whose name escapes me, but does it matter? it's just JC doing a bit) tries to prove to himself that he can lie: he stares intently at a blue pen and tries to insist that it is red. The ensuing battle between man and Bic is from a lineage that goes all the way to Chaplin.
It helps that the supporting cast is good and that the film is brief (87 minutes). And though it's not as biting as it could be, there's a nice subtle commentary on the way we all lie to grease the wheels of civilization. That the attempts at familial reconciliation strain credibility hardly matters; Carrey's genuine rapport with his screen son supplies a gentle sweetness on which the story can glide. All in all, a pleasant breeze of a movie.
If you stay for the credits you will also get a show of outtakes which some think rival the main event for comic invention. I found it interesting in another way: not only do you get to witness Carrey's spontaneous virtuosity in action, you also get a glimpse of how it must be working with him. In a courtroom take with Swoosie Kurtz, she plays a prank on the star by reciting an unexpected line. Afterward she keeps insisting that others put her up to it. Is she afraid of upstaging the genius? Or maybe that's just how it is when you're playing opposite a $20 million man.

- Eagle 8.0.2 | Download (Education Version) | 98 MB
- Install Eagle
- Add components connect circuit.
- after connecting each component and removing Errors go Boards
- After that Components to arrange and check for routing
- After that evaluate circuit layout and check if wire is not connect in layer ( After trying i found one was still not connecting I am going to use jumper wire
- After that go for export of that Circuit
- Export in Monochrome and 400 DPI Resolution (Its Important )
To Add components click on add and select according to company
There are different layer to show while making connection for circuit which guide better to make connection properly.
After that you have switch connection to Board were you will find layout of each component is added and you can move according to it
Try to make is as good and easy so routing will be that much accurate.
If you still find it is to be adjusted and few thing you can do is connect "0" resistor to jump any single line
Error Can be check and removed after connection of components
In Routing you have to do some edit in NET Classes from DRU file you are using.
We are using FAB DRU and change that value to mils. ( In Eagle it directly takes as mm).
After that keep top as Auto and bottom as N/A ( I forget to do this in starting)
After readjusting components you will achieve near 100% ( I got 96 % it show blue line on pressing evalute so that can be solved by jumper wire)
After Check for DRU and Spacing check
Finaly you can export.

Problem Faced


Before Change
sett.m(0, "... filter highly varying genes by dispersion and mean")
X = data // proceed with data matrix
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler(with_mean=False).partial_fit(X)
mean = scaler.mean_
var = scaler.var_ * (X.shape[0]/(X.shape[0]-1)) // use R convention (unbiased estimator)
dispersion = var / (mean + 1e-12)
if log: // logarithmized mean as in Seurat
dispersion[dispersion == 0] = np.nan
After Change
return adata if copy else None
logg.m("... filter highly varying genes by dispersion and mean", r=True, end=" ")
X = data // proceed with data matrix
mean, var = _get_mean_var(X)
// now actually compute the dispersion
dispersion = var / mean
if log: // logarithmized mean as in Seurat


This project's purpose is to showcase my progress training to be a fullstack web developer. It will demonstrate my skills using current front-end software. Additionally, it is an opportunity for me to practice building a professional portfolio website to advertise my wife's talents as a children's book illustrator.
The typical audience will be children's book authors looking to hire an illustrator and publishers looking to illustrate a manuscript accepted for publication. Some visitors may be librarians searching for children's titles that have a particular style of illustration.
My immediate goal is for this project to generate interviews for jobs in web development. A secondary goal is to use my pwp as a template to develop portfolio websites for my wife, her sister (a published illustrator) and various members of Albuquerque's fine arts community.
Name: Penelope Publisher
Age: 52
Profession: Senior Publications Manager, Tiny Minds Publishing Co. New York, NY. She's been working there since 1992.
Technology: Tiny Minds uses various models of Macs wirelessly networked to an Ubuntu server. Penelope is comfortable using her two-year-old iPad Pro, iPhone X, and her five year old XBox One S (at home). She likes to doodle ideas for her contract illustrators to flesh out, so she typically uses the current version of iPad's Procreate drawing app.
Attitudes: Penelope's deep experience with children's literature gives her valuable insight when it's time to select a "new look" for the next wave of books. She enjoys sizing up potential illustrators to hire for manuscripts her team have accepted and are currently editing. However, styles are fickle (unless you're Dr. Seuss). Penelope visits the website of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators weekly to find new illustrators to check out. It's fun, she thinks.
Obstacles: The artwork makes or breaks the commercial success of a book. Penelope has to find an illustrator she can be confident hiring, but that person must be available and willing to do the story. And, Penelope isn't the only editor looking for fresh talent going in a new direction.
User Story: As a highly experienced editor of children's books, Penelope expects to find the perfect illustrator for her current project.
Goals for the Site: Penelope is hoping that my web page will have a portfolio of pictures that really grab her, excite her, and convince her that this is the illustrator for her next book going to press.
Additional Information: The Society maintains a several pages of ads placed by it's members. Penelope is very familiar with this feature of the web site, so access to my web page will be very easy for her.

I had been out of pot for several days and didn't have anyway of getting more in the near future. So I started brainstorming to figure out a substitute. Fortunately, I had some morning glory seeds which I had set aside for a rainy day. Remembering this, I immediately found them and began crushing them up with a hammer. This was difficult to do since they kept scattering everywhere. I gave up on this and just decided to eat them. On several previous occasion, I had tried morning glory seeds, but the only effects I experienced were some nausea and inexplicable flashes of light. Overall, nothing much happened. For that reason, I didn't expect much from this experience.
I went to our kitchen and made some of that oatmeal with strawberries in it. Then I took the partially mashed up seeds and mixed them in. Previous attempts had left me with a very strong aversion to the taste of the seeds, so I needed the oatmeal to mask it. I ate all of it, but I did not feel any nausea. I didn't really feel much of anything. But then I noticed that I started to feel somewhat light and feathery. That is the only way I can explain it. Then I would think about it and decide that it was just a placebo effect. I would then decide that was untrue and say that it was the seeds. This went on for about 20 minutes.
This was kind of boring, so I decided to drive around. I began to feel sort of disoriented, almost like being drunk. This, I decided, was a sign that I should stop driving around, so I stopped by a friend's house. By this time, I was feeling kind of sick and anxious. I was pretty disappointed because I wasn't experiencing anything even close to being psychedelic. When I tried to think, it felt like I had to put forth considerable effort in doing so. It just made me feel like my brain had been numbed and, for that reason, I couldn't use it to think. It turned out that my friend had some pot, so we smoked a few bowls. This made me feel much better, but there were still no psychedelic effects. And that was the way it would be for the rest of the night. No psychedelia. What a disappointment. And I really don't think it would be worth my time to try them again.

Turkey says Kurdish YPG militia kill three despite ceasefire deal
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey’s defense ministry said on Tuesday Kurdish YPG militia had killed three people and wounded eight in a missile attack on a school in the Tel Abyad region of northern Syria which they were meant to have withdrawn from under a ceasefire agreement.
The report came a day after Turkey threatened a new military operation in northeast Syria if the area was not cleared of the militia.
A Turkish incursion last month against the Syrian YPG dubbed Operation Peace Spring drew international condemnation. Ankara accuses the YPG, which spearheaded the U.S.-led war against Islamic State, of links with Kurdish PKK separatists in Turkey.
“The PKK/YPG who continued their harassments and attacks, and conducted bombings in the Operation Peace Spring area, have now targeted a school in Tel Abyad’s Curn village,” a Turkish defense ministry statement said.
Tel Abyad is one of two major border towns that saw the heaviest fighting when Ankara launched the incursion on Oct. 9.
“Three innocent civilians died and eight civilians, including children, were injured,” the statement said.
Turkey halted its offensive after striking deals with Russia and the United States. While Moscow has said the YPG have withdrawn to at least 30 km (18 miles) from the border, Ankara has been sceptical and held out the possibility of new attacks if members of what it sees as a terrorist group remain.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted on Monday as saying his country would launch a new operation if the area was not cleared of YPG militia. Russia said any such move would damage efforts to stabilize the region.

Family of ISIS bride Lisa Smith want her to tell her story on RTE's Late Late Show when she returns to Ireland
EXCLUSIVE: Sources have indicated that the former Irish Army soldier turned ISIS bride, 38, will be arrested as soon as she touches down
by Sylvia PownallLisa Smith’s family want her to tell her story in a closed set interview on the Late Late Show when she returns to Ireland.
Sources have indicated that the former Irish Army soldier turned ISIS bride, 38, will be arrested as soon as she touches down at Baldonnel Aerodrome on Tuesday.
Family spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said: “They’ve been approached by the Late Late Show and other media all looking for interviews, but Lisa told them she wants to give her own version.”
The family have said they“don’t know what to expect” when she returns home next week.
Ms Smith, from Dundalk in Co Louth, is due to be repatriated from Turkey and will face a security assessment and possible prosecution.
Ms Smith was detained in northern Syria in March along with her two-year-old daughter, after ISIS’ downfall, on suspicion of supporting the terror group.
Family spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick TD told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “They [Lisa’s family] literally don’t know what is going to happen.
 She has said she will answer any questions whatsoever from gardai or security.
“The family don’t know what to expect – basically what kind of reception she’s going to get or whether she’ll be arrested.
“There’s been a lot of speculation but she just wants to come home to her country with her child, she’s very concerned for her child.”
Lisa is believed to have escaped a detention camp with IS recruiter Tooba Gondal in mid-October and was held in a rebel
safehouse on the Turkey-Syria border where she begged to come home.
The women reportedly walked for miles with their children after fleeing Ain Issa camp when they were picked up by rebel fighters with the Syrian National Army.
Earlier this year photographs emerged of Ms Smith posing with guns but she claims she has never been a member of the terror group.
Mr Fitzpatrick said: “There are a lot of rumours about her.
“She has been in touch with her family, mainly by text. She says she misses home and wants to come home.
“Her mother has never seen her grandchild and she can’t wait to see the child.
“There have been threats, yes. The reason the family don’t go public and
talk is they’re afraid they might say something that makes it worse.
“Lisa has told them when she comes home she will meet the public and give her version of events.
“They have been approached by RTE, The Late Late and other media all looking for interviews.
“They want to wait for Lisa to come home and give her version herself.
“She says she’s innocent, she has an opportunity when she comes home to prove that.”
Some residents in Dundalk are said to be uneasy about her return, with reports some have written to their local council to express their outrage.
One source said: “She can’t just rock up as if she did nothing. People are genuinely upset about this.”
RTE has been contacted for comment.

--- layout: post title: "Basic Machine Learning" date: 2016-04-23 categories: twentysixteen ---
Backpropagation is the standard Machine Learning algorithm. From what I understand, It works like this:
1. Set all the weights of your neural network to random values.
2. Take a training example, put it through your neural network and try to predict what your neural network will make of it.
3. Compare what your neural network’s output is with the output that you want (the correct output).
4. Adjust your weights.
5. Keep doing this over and over again until your network gets the output that you want. Once this happens, your neural network has learned.
This is called Supervised Learning because you can check if your network is correct or not by comparing the results of your network to your training examples.
The weights are adjusted using the Gradient Decent Algorithm. This is how the weights and biases are tweaked. The Gradient Decent is summarized well here. It finds the local minimum of a function. This is when the slope of the function is zero. (In other words, when the derivative of the function is equal to 0.) The problem is you can only efficiently find the derivative of a function that has a few variables. Neural Networks can get very big, sometimes having millions of variables. So computing the the derivatives of these types of functions is computationally intensive. That is why the Gradient Decent Algorithm is used for huge networks. The next step for me is to write a program for the Gradient Decent Algorithm and maybe also a program that can compute general derivatives.
Summary: Backpropagation finds the error that your weights have by comparing your neural network’s output to the output that you want you network to have and the Gradient Decent Algorithm is used to adjust these weights.

Rule R402 states that the bumpers have to stay within the bumper area when translated to the flat floor plane. However, the game manual for the FRC Game Deep Space, in 2019, has an elaboration G23 that makes an exception for the same rule if the robot is entirely located within the hab zone. Will there be any exceptions to G103 within the community zone, which already allows for an extension of mechanisms in multiple directions outside the frame perimeter?
A:
No

Q215 Repairing Damaged Signal Light
Q:
Hi FIRST HQ and GDC,
We lost the connector for our RSL. Looking through the TE Connectivity FIRST Catalog for 2023 (https://www.te.com/content/dam/te-com/documents/about-te/corporate-responsibility/global/TEConnectivityFIRSTCatalog2023.pdf) we were excited to see a compatible spring terminal replacement and used our KOP voucher to order one and repair our nonfunctional light. Is this repair legal per R710M? If not could you point us towards a legal option for replacing our lost RSL connector?
A:
Please see [Team Update 15](https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.net/frc2023/Manual/TeamUpdates/TeamUpdate15.pdf). If that doesn't answer your question, please rephrase and resubmit.

Q216 Inter-Alliance scoring agreement
Q:
If each alliance makes an agreement to pick-up 3 GAME PIECES from their SUBSTATIONS and drop them to the opponent's COMMUNITY, allowing each alliance to score a LINK on their CO-OP GRIDs and quickly achieve a COOPERTITION BONUS, what is the correct call?
A:
The teams on the ALLIANCES are encouraging/being encouraged to play beneath their abilities and are thus violating !H105 and !H106. A team that has agreed to help opponents score is playing beneath their ability and in violation of !H106.

Q217 Tolerance on Pool Noodle Size during Inspection
Q:
We are having a tough time finding pool noodles that match the specifications for this year... Everything sold in stores locally right now measures close to the bottom end of the tolerance listed in R408C (2.25 inches).
Since we will (unfortunately, despite our best efforts) be running against the line of what's legal, what can we expect inspectors to request to prove our legality? How can we prove that the noodles were "sold as" 2.5-inch? Should we pack a spare noodle to show to inspectors?
A:
Any documentation that states the sold diameter of the pool noodle as 2.5" (including but not limited to a receipt, or picture of a box) or an example pool noodle for measurement if it's within tolerance would be sufficient

Q219 Clarification of application of G201
Q:
If one robot, who does not have a game piece, pushes an opposing robot into the pushing robot's protected zone from a distance of more than 4 feet. Does this violate G201?
A:
We cannot comment absolutely on hypothetical scenarios. The ultimate decision regarding if the strategy was to cause the opponent to incur a FOUL or not is determined by the REFEREES at the event (who have greater context), with the final call made by the Head REFEREE.
There is no requirement that a ROBOT is or is not possessing a GAME PIECE for !G201 to be called. Various factors are assessed as context to determine if the referee perceives the interaction to be a strategy clearly aimed at forcing an opponent to violate a rule.

Q220 Removing Robots from the Charge Station per H109
Q:
Hi HQ, we had a clarifying question regarding rule H109. We understand that we are prohibited from climbing on the Charge Station (without permission). When removing Robots from the Charge Station, are we allowed to step partially or put weight on one of the ramps of the Charge Station to help remove our Robot from the Charge Station? Would this action count as climbing on the Charge Station?
A:
Partially stepping on or putting weight on the CHARGE STATION is considered climbing on the CHARGE STATION per !H109. Please coordinate with FIELD staff on the safest way to remove the ROBOT from the CHARGE STATION. If the FIELD staff determine the safest method for removal is a DRIVE TEAM member tilting the CHARGE STATION, and this is communicated to DRIVE TEAMS, this would count as being instructed by FIELD staff to "climb on" the CHARGE STATION and not a violation of !H109.

Q224 G205 - Mutual bumper contact disabling robot
Q:
With respect to Rule G205, if MUTUAL unintentional (non-deliberate) contact between robot bumpers results in electrical or mechanical damages leading to one robot to be disabled/undriveable, does that result in tech foul and red card for the still mobile robot? And if the contact was mutually initiated between bumpers resulting in either electrical or mechanical damage to BOTH robots drivetrain, is that grounds for a tech foul and red card for both robots?
A:
Contact that occurs exclusively between BUMPERS (therefore not meeting the criteria of !G205-B) that is not perceived by a referee to be deliberately damaging (therefore not meeting the criteria of !G205-A) is not a violation of !G205.

Q232 Defensive strategy consistent with H107?
Q:
Hi HQ, we had a question about rule H107. We understand that you may not sacrifice your RP for a Match to influence rankings. Does this rule extend to making it harder for the opposing Alliance to score bonus RP? For example, would unscoring one of your own Game Pieces in your Co-op Grid to nullify the Coopertition Bonus, thus making it harder for the opposing Alliance to achieve the Sustainability Bonus be considered against H107? Or would this fall under acceptable defense?
A:
There are no rules that prohibit an ALLIANCE, of their own volition, from de-scoring GAME PIECES on their GRID, provided it's not an attempt to lose their MATCH or sacrifice Ranking Points. A team deliberately de-scoring GAME PIECES may be scrutinized in regards to !H106 and/or !H107.

A:
"Font elements" refer to the typeface, style, and size of the characters used and include the examples (serifs, rounded edges, small hairlines or gaps) listed in the Blue Box. Per the remainder of the Blue Box, these are legal if the majority of the stroke meets the sizing requirement and the numbers are unambiguous.

Greetings, R303 states that new designs and code must be made from scratch unless they were published prior to Kick Off. We have close relation with a team that developed a powerful drivetrain gearbox last season and wanted to use it for this one without publishing the design. We friendly tried to warn them but they didn't listen and they used the exact same mechanism, not even modified a bit. We consider this to be wrong and unethical. R303 doesn't state a penalty per violation, what'll happen?
A:
The consequence to noncompliance with a ROBOT rule is an inability to pass inspection and compete in Qualification and Playoff MATCHES. If you have a concern to report, please connect with the LRI of the event.

Q250 Tools allowed in the Pits
Q:
Can an event decide which tools are allowed in the pits due to safety concerns even when those tools are specifically mentioned in the Pits section of the Event Rules and do not meet the qualification of being "too big" as referenced in rule E505?
A:
Yes, events may assess and restrict use of certain tools at an event due to reasonable safety concerns. If there's a specific concern about a specific event, please contact [firstroboticscompetition<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with details.

Q252 Platform for short driver
Q:
One of our drivers is short and can’t see the floor directly in front of the grid when standing at the driver’s station. Can she stand on a 3 inch platform at the driver’s station if we clear it with the head referee and the FTA prior to the start of the Regional? The alternative is that we fabricate some platform shoes or stilts for her.
A:
The only items that may be brought to or used in the ALLIANCE AREA are listed in !H303. If a member of the DRIVE TEAM needs an accommodation to see from the DRIVER STATION, please talk with the FTA at your event and a ramp will be made available for them.

Q253 G302 Charge Station Penalty = 3 Free Climbs?
Q:
Hi HQ, we had a question about rule G302. We understand that if a Robot contacts their opponent's Charge Station in Auto, the opposing Alliance is considered to have a Docked and Engaged Robot for Auto. Based on our observation of many matches and many calls by Referees. It seems that this rule violation also gives the entire opposing Alliance Docked and Engaged points. We couldn't find any info regarding why this is occurring in the Manual, so we were wondering if we might be missing something?
A:
No, violating !G302 does not automatically grant the opposing ALLIANCE three DOCKED and ENGAGED ROBOTS at the end of the MATCH.

Q254 R405.B, hook and loop locations?
Q:
Based on the wording in R405 B, is hook and loop tape included on bumpers allowed to be anywhere on the bumper or just on the portions that are "backed by hard parts"? May red or blue hook and loop be backed by the fabric and pool noodle section of the bumpers? May hook and loop be used in the corner section of a bumper? Does this also apply to snaps? Are only functional equivalents restricted to hard parts or are hook and loop and snaps also modified by that statement?
Thank you.
A:
!R405-B restricts all three items listed (if visible) to only areas of the BUMPER "backed by [...] hard parts".

Q255 Can team numbers wrap over the top edge of the bumper?
Q:
With team numbers being a minimum of 4" tall, only part of the number will sit on the vertical portion of the cross section in figure 9-7. R406 has no requirement for the vertical spacing on the bumper, so can teams place their numbers such that they are offset towards the top? This means the number will wrap around the pool noodle, onto the top horizontal surface. This makes the number more easily readable than having part of it pointed downwards if the number is centered or below center.
A:
There are no rules restricting the vertical BUMPER number positioning, provided (per !R406) "an observer walking around the perimeter of the ROBOT can unambiguously tell the team’s number from any point of view."

Q257 COTS Servo price limit
Q:
R501 permits COTS servos with a retail cost up to $75. Our team has an inventory of servos which met this requirement at the time they were purchased (2017), but are now retailing for more than the limit. Can these servos be used, or does the rule forbid previously legal components?
A:
This price limit refers to the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the item, which is defined in the Blue Box of !R301 as "its price defined by a VENDOR for the part or an identical functional replacement. This price must be generally available to all FIRST Robotics Competition teams throughout the build and competition season." Thus, the FMV would be the current retail price.

Q258 Coaches and the Operator Console
Q:
Per H501, coaches are not able to operate their team's robots. If the coach were to bring a wired device that communicates with the OPERATOR CONSOLE device but does not operate or control the robot (such as displaying an image on the device's screen), would this be legal under H501 and H303?
A:
No, per the Blue Box below !H402: "For the purposes of FIRST Robotics Competition, any device connected to the Operator Console is considered a control device because Referees are not expected to differentiate between devices that can or cannot control the Robot."

InsertXMLStructure()
语法
Result = InsertXMLStructure(ParentNode, *Buffer, Structure [, PreviousNode])概要
Insert the specified structure memory as a new XML node into the given parent node.
参数
ParentNode The node into which to insert the new node. To insert the new node at the root of the tree, RootXMLNode() can be used here. *Buffer The address of the structure to insert into the XML tree. Structure The type of the structure to insert. PreviousNode (optional) A childnode of 'ParentNode' after which the new node should be inserted. If this value is 0 or not specified, the new node is inserted as the first child of its parent. If this value is -1, the node is inserted as the last child of its parent.
返回值
The new XML node if it was created successfully or zero if no node could be inserted at this point.
备注
The rules specified in the CreateXMLNode() for where a new node can be inserted also apply to this function.
The inserted node is named like the structure. Each structure element is added as a sub-node inside the structure node. Any '*' or '$' character is stripped from the name of the structure element. If the structure element contains an array, list, map or structure, more nodes are added recursively. See below for an example of the created XML.

MPI_OP_CREATE( function, commute, op)
[ IN function] user defined function (function)
[ IN commute] true if commutative; false otherwise.
[ OUT op] operation (handle)
int MPI_Op_create(MPI_User_function *function, int commute, MPI_Op *op)
MPI_OP_CREATE( FUNCTION, COMMUTE, OP, IERROR)
EXTERNAL FUNCTION
LOGICAL COMMUTE
INTEGER OP, IERROR
MPI_OP_CREATE binds a user-defined global operation
to an op handle that can subsequently be used in
MPI_REDUCE, MPI_ALLREDUCE,
MPI_REDUCE_SCATTER, and
MPI_SCAN.
The user-defined operation is assumed to be associative.
If commute = true, then the operation should be both
commutative and associative. If commute = false,
then the order of operands is fixed and is defined to be in ascending, process
rank order, beginning with process zero. The order of evaluation can be
changed, talking advantage of the associativity of the operation. If
commute = true then the order of evaluation can be changed,
taking advantage of commutativity and associativity.
function is the user-defined function, which must have the following four arguments: invec, inoutvec, len and datatype.
The ANSI-C prototype for the function is the following.
typedef void MPI_User_function( void *invec, void *inoutvec, int *len, MPI_Datatype *datatype);The Fortran declaration of the user-defined function appears below.
FUNCTION USER_FUNCTION( INVEC(*), INOUTVEC(*), LEN, TYPE) <type> INVEC(LEN), INOUTVEC(LEN) INTEGER LEN, TYPEThe datatype argument is a handle to the data type that was passed into the call to MPI_REDUCE. The user reduce function should be written such that the following holds: Let u[0], ... , u[len-1] be the len elements in the communication buffer described by the arguments invec, len and datatype when the function is invoked; let v[0], ... , v[len-1] be len elements in the communication buffer described by the arguments inoutvec, len and datatype when the function is invoked; let w[0], ... , w[len-1] be len elements in the communication buffer described by the arguments inoutvec, len and datatype when the function returns; then w[i] = u[i] v[i], for i=0 , ... , len-1, where is the reduce operation that the function computes.
Informally, we can think of invec and inoutvec as arrays of len elements that function is combining. The result of the reduction over-writes values in inoutvec, hence the name. Each invocation of the function results in the pointwise evaluation of the reduce operator on len elements: I.e, the function returns in inoutvec[i] the value , for , where is the combining operation computed by the function.
[] Rationale.
The len argument allows MPI_REDUCE to avoid calling the function for each element in the input buffer. Rather, the system can choose to apply the function to chunks of input. In C, it is passed in as a reference for reasons of compatibility with Fortran.
By internally comparing the value of the datatype argument to
known, global handles,
it is possible to overload the use of a single user-defined function
for several, different data types.
( End of rationale.)
General datatypes may be passed to the user function.
However, use of datatypes that are not contiguous is likely to lead to
inefficiencies.
No MPI communication function may be called inside the user function. MPI_ABORT may be called inside the function in case of an error.
[] Advice to users.
Suppose one defines a library of user-defined reduce functions that are overloaded: the datatype argument is used to select the right execution path at each invocation, according to the types of the operands. The user-defined reduce function cannot ``decode'' the datatype argument that it is passed, and cannot identify, by itself, the correspondence between the datatype handles and the datatype they represent. This correspondence was established when the datatypes were created. Before the library is used, a library initialization preamble must be executed. This preamble code will define the datatypes that are used by the library, and store handles to these datatypes in global, static variables that are shared by the user code and the library code.
The Fortran version of MPI_REDUCE will invoke a user-defined reduce
function using the Fortran calling conventions and will pass a Fortran-type
datatype argument; the C version will use C calling convention and the C
representation of a datatype handle. Users who plan to mix languages should
define their reduction functions accordingly.
( End of advice to users.)
[] Advice
to implementors.
We outline below a naive and inefficient implementation of MPI_REDUCE.
if (rank > 0) { RECV(tempbuf, count, datatype, rank-1,...) User_reduce( tempbuf, sendbuf, count, datatype) } if (rank < groupsize-1) { SEND( sendbuf, count, datatype, rank+1, ...) } /* answer now resides in process groupsize-1 ... now send to root */ if (rank == groupsize-1) { SEND( sendbuf, count, datatype, root, ...) } if (rank == root) { RECV(recvbuf, count, datatype, groupsize-1,...) }The reduction computation proceeds, sequentially, from process 0 to process group-size-1. Thisorder is chosen so as to respect the order of a possibly non-commutative operator defined by the function User_reduce(). A more efficient implementation is achieved by taking advantage of associativity and using a logarithmic tree reduction. Commutativity can be used to advantage, for those cases in which the commute argument to MPI_OP_CREATE is true. Also, the amount of temporary buffer required can be reduced, and communication can be pipelined with computation, by transferring and reducing the elements in chunks of size len < count.
The predefined reduce operations can be implemented as a library of
user-defined operations. However, better performance might be
achieved if MPI_REDUCE handles these functions as a special
case.
( End of advice to implementors.)
MPI_OP_FREE( op)
[ IN op] operation (handle)
int MPI_op_free( MPI_Op *op)
MPI_OP_FREE( OP, IERROR)
INTEGER OP, IERROR
Marks a user-defined reduction operation for deallocation and sets op to MPI_OP_NULL.
It is time for an example of user-defined reduction.
Example
Compute the product of an array of complex numbers, in C.
typedef struct { double real,imag; } Complex;/* the user-defined function */ void myProd( Complex *in, Complex *inout, int *len, MPI_Datatype *dptr ) { int i; Complex c;
for (i=0; i< *len; ++i) { c.real = inout->real*in->real - inout->imag*in->imag; c.imag = inout->real*in->imag + inout->imag*in->real; *inout = c; in++; inout++; } }
/* and, to call it... */ ...
/* each process has an array of 100 Complexes */ Complex a[100], answer[100]; MPI_Op myOp; MPI_Datatype ctype;
/* explain to MPI how type Complex is defined */ MPI_Type_contiguous( 2, MPI_DOUBLE, &ctype ); MPI_Type_commit( &ctype ); /* create the complex-product user-op */ MPI_Op_create( myProd, True, &myOp );
MPI_Reduce( a, answer, 100, ctype, myOp, root, comm );
/* At this point, the answer, which consists of 100 Complexes, * resides on process root */


Most projects can be launched by using the Run As.../Debug As... menu options:
This option is available, if your project contains a web.xml file. The launcher will automatically select the Web Application directory and launch the embedded Jetty.
To create a Launch Confiugration for your web project using Eclipse Jetty, just open to your Run/Debug configurations and click on "New launch configuration". Select the project (if it's not yet select). Usually you should be able to run and debug your project now.
The WebApp tab contains the most important options for your Jetty Launch Configuration: the project, the folder, that contains the static files and the WEB-INF directory, the path of the URL and HTTP and HTTPs ports.
When creating a new Launch Configuration the project and the Web App folder will be determined automatically. If this fails, you have to set the values manually. Select the Project (should be you WAR module) and scan or browse for the Web App folder. Eclipse Jetty works best, if you follow the Maven standard directory layout.
The Context Path is the first part of the path in the URL to access your application. If you leave it blank, it defaults to "/".
The HTTP Port usually defaults to 8080 for web applications. If you need, you can Enable HTTPs at the specified port (defaults to 8443). The HTTPs connection uses a self-signed certificate of the Jetty Eclipse Plugin, so you have to allow access to your applicatin in your browser.
The Options tab contains advanced settings of your Launch Configuration. It allows you to define the Jetty versions, lets you enable features and you can add configuration files manually.
The Jetty Eclipse Plugin comes with an integrated Jetty 8. It is tested and should work with most projects (but you will need at least Java 1.6). If you need, you can use a different Jetty installation. Download it from the Jetty homepage download section and extract it. Browse for the directory. The Eclipse Jetty Plugin will automatically detect the version of the Jetty (supported are currently 6.x - 9.x).
You can enable and disable some Jetty Features manually. Usually these features are disabled for faster startup times.
This enables support for Java Server Pages in order to let Jetty compile JSPs. If you don't need JSPs support, disable this option; you server will start faster.
This enables support for the Java Naming and Directory Interface. If you use this for a data source, for example, you have to specified a context file, with the data source. You will also have to mark the needed JARs as "Global" in the dependencies table. This checkbox just adds the needed JARs when launching Jetty. For more infos see the JNDI Howto.
The Eclipse Jetty Plugin comes with an enhanced launcher for the Jetty server (like the start.jar of your Jetty).
With the configuration options you can modify the contents of the context file.
When you shut down the Jetty server gracefully, this may need some time. If your application has a lot to do when shutting down, you can increase the timeout for this shutdown operation here.
A Jetty server maintains a thread pool for all actions. For example, each incoming connection gets one thread from the thread pool (even if it does not get processed). With this option, you can limit the thread pool. This reduces memory consumption and debugging becomes easier.
The acceptors of a Jetty are used to process requests. If not enough acceptors are available, the request has to wait. You can limit the number of acceptors to simulate high server load or make sure, that the server does not process more requests than necessary.
This option is reserved for a future enhancements and is currently not implemented. If you need this, or other features, you have to add the JARs of Jetty manually and mark them as "Global" in the dependencies table. Additionally you have to provide needed context files.
Before a Jetty server processes the web.xml file, it automatically loads a default file with some settings. With this option, you can override this behavior and define another defaults file.
A Jetty server maintains a cache for static resources to increase performance. This cache usually works well and even recognizes modified files. But under certain circumstances the reload of updated files does not work. If this happens to you, you can disable the cache with this option.
With the context configuration, you can add additional Jetty context files to the startup process.
The table contains the default Eclipse Jetty Launcher Context. This contains the configuration of the Eclipse Jetty Plugin. Additionally you can add more context files, that are processed in the specified order. You may need this, for example, to define a JNDI data source (see JNDI Howto for an example).
The Eclipse Jetty Plugin divides the project libraries into two categories: the Jetty libraries and the dependencies of the project. With the settings on the Dependency tab, you can alter this behavior.
If you are using Maven for your project and you have enabled the M2Eclipse Plugin, a scope is provided for each library. With this scope you can, e.g., distinguish between dependencies for the application and dependencies for the unit tests.
In the Include Maven Dependencies settings you can globally add and remove dependencies with the specified scope. By default, only dependencies with a scope of compile or runtime get added.
If you are not using Maven, or a dependency is unknown to Maven, the library does not contain a scope. With the Include Other Dependencies option, you can add or remove these libraries. If your project uses Maven and the M2E Plugin, this option is disabled by default, otherwise it is enabled.
The table shows all dependencies/libraries of the project. You can include and exclude the dependencies with the left checkbox. For example, it is sometimes necessary, that you manually add the database driver, because the dependency is set to "provided" by Maven (which is correct for the server), but with your development Jetty you need the dependency.
By default, all dependencies are loaded with the classloader of the web application and not with the System classloader of Java. You can change this behavior by selecting the right checkbox. When enabled, the Jetty launcher will load the specified dependency with the System classloader. You may need this, e.g., for your database driver, if you define a JNDI datasource.

Constructor
new Glyphset() → {Zinc.Glyphset}
This is a container of Zinc.Glyph and their graphical properties
including transformations, colors, number of time steps, duration of animations
and group name. Please note that all glyphs in the glyphset share the same geometry
however they may have different transformations.
Zinc.Glyphset
Methods
dispose()
Clear this glyphset and its list of glyphs which will release them from the memory.
forEachGlyph(callbackFunction)
A function which iterates through the list of glyphs and call the callback
function with the glyph as the argument.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
callbackFunction |
function | Callback function with the glyph as an argument. |
getBoundingBox() → {Three.Box3}
Get the bounding box for the whole set of glyphs.
;
Three.Box3
getGroup() → {Three.Group}
Get the Three.Group containing all of the glyphs' meshes.
Three.Group
isTimeVarying() → {Boolean}
Check if the glyphset is time varying.
Boolean
load(glyphsetData, glyphURL, finishCallback)
Copy glyphset data into this glyphset then load the glyph's geoemtry
with the provided glyphURL. FinishCallback will be called once
glyph is loaded.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
glyphsetData |
Array | contains the informations about the glyphs. |
glyphURL |
String | URL to the geometry which will be applied to all all the glyphs in the glyphset once loaded. |
finishCallback |
function | User's function to be called once glyph's geometry is loaded. |
setMorphTime(time)
Set the local time of this glyphset.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
time |
Number | Can be any value between 0 to duration. |
setVisibility(flag)
Set the visibility of this glyphset.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
