Parallel Rcpp
Rcpp Parallel
Consider a simple scenario. We want to flip \(100\) coins and get the results. We can do this in R, in what is an already optimized way.
rbinom(100, 1, 0.5)
## [1] 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1
## [38] 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
## [75] 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
Or we can do this using
#include <iostream>
#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
//[[Rcpp::export(flips)]]
NumericVector coin()
{
NumericVector out(100);
for(i=0; i<100; i++)
{
out[i] = rand() % 2;
}
return mean(out);
}
If we source and run the code it seems to be working fine
sourceCpp("../code/coin_rcpp.cpp")
flips()
## [1] 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0
## [38] 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
## [75] 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1
Moreover, comparing it to the R version it actually takes a lot more time. This is because the binom
function is already really well optimized. But for the sake of this demonstration we carry on and see what happens.
microbenchmark(rbinom(100, 1, 0.5),
flips(),
times = 10,
unit='relative')
## Unit: relative
## expr min lq mean median uq max
## rbinom(100, 1, 0.5) 1.371536 1.399582 0.005753564 1.3726 1.433147 0.001553176
## flips() 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000000 1.0000 1.000000 1.000000000
## neval cld
## 10 a
## 10 a
Let’s explore whether this could be improved upon by running the code in parallel. We do this using OpenMP
and RcppParallel
. To do so there are a few changes we need to make to the code:
- include the
RcppParallel
header - include the dependency of
openmp
andRcppParallel
- define the input and output via special wrappers that are thread-safe
The actual code looks like this
#include <iostream>
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <RcppParallel.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// [[Rcpp::plugins(openmp)]]
// [[Rcpp::depends(RcppParallel)]]
//[[Rcpp::export(flips_par)]]
NumericVector coin(int ncores)
{
NumericVector out(100);
RcppParallel::RVector<double> vo(out);
#if defined(_OPENMP)
#pragma omp parallel for num_threads(ncores)
#endif
for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
{
vo[i] = rand() % 2;
}
return out;
}
Checking that the code does indeed work
sourceCpp("../code/coin_parallel.cpp")
flips_par(3)
## [1] 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1
## [38] 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
## [75] 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
Let’s see how using a different number of cores changes the performance. Clearly the more cores we add, the more time it takes for the computation to be performed. This is a common mistake that can be made if we are overly keen to parallelize an operation without further thought. What happens is that the operation itself takes way less time than the parallelization process.

git -at me | discover open sourceA RegEx Fairytale Whether you're a novice or a seasoned developer, Regular Expressions are notoriously tricky. It's a bit like asking Rumpelstiltskin for help. Sure he can validate your form inputs - but you'll need to hand over your firstborn child and make him a sandwich too. Next time, try VerbalExpressions. VerbalExpressions enables you to construct RegEx statements that you can actually understand. Think of it as SQL-level simplicity for Regular Expressions. For example, to validate a URL in javascript:
Normal RegEx gobbledy gook:
/^(http)(s)?(\:\/\/)(www\.)?([^\ ]*)$/ VerbalExpressions statement: VerEx().startOfLine().then( "http" ).maybe( "s" ).then( "://" ).maybe( "www." ).anythingBut( " " ).endOfLine() How cool is that? RegEx you can read! VerbalExpressions ports are available for Javascript, Ruby, PHP, and more. So what are you waiting for? [View] [Star] [Fork] That's all folks, until next week. Tell your friends about git -at me. In fact, make them sign up right now. And please send feedback / ideas to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or @gitatme. ~Neal |


The official Orbotix JavaScript SDK module to programmatically control Sphero robots.
$ npm install sphero
To connect to your Sphero, you first need to pair it. To pair your device on OS X, open the Bluetooth settings in System Preferences > Bluetooth. From this menu, locate your Sphero in the Devices list and click the Pair button to pair it with your computer.
Once you've successfully paired your Sphero, open your terminal, go to your /dev
folder and locate the serial device connection (or use ls -a /dev | grep tty.Sphero
) for your newly paired Sphero; it should look something like tty.Sphero-RGB-AMP-SPP
. Note, your device will likely be different depending on its preset color code (the three colors your Sphero cycles through when you first turn it on). The previous example is for a Sphero with a Red, Green and Blue (RGB) color code.
So, your Sphero port will be at
/dev/tty.Sphero-XXX-XXX-XXX
To make things easy install Blueman Bluetooth Manager
. In Ubuntu this is pretty easy, just open the Ubuntu Software Center, type the program name and install it from there. When the installation is complete, open the program and search for devices. Make sure the Sphero is flashing its color code. Once the Sphero appears in the list of devices, select it, click on setup and follow the instructions.
You can connect and disconnect the Sphero from a serialport interface by right clicking on it inside the Blueman list of devices and selecting RN-SPP
or disconnect
, respectively (after it has been setup and added permanently to the list). Make sure to notice the serialport address Blueman displays after the Sphero connects, as this will be the one used in your code. The serialport address displayed for the Sphero should look something like this:
/dev/rfcomm0
Locate the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar (or inside the system task tray button) and follow the necessary steps to pair with your Sphero.
Once you've successfully paired your Sphero, there are two options available to you to check and see which serialport corresponds to the Sphero you just connected. The first option is to right click on the bluetooth icon in the task bar (same you use to pair), click on Open Settings
, when the settings window appears, navigate to the COM Ports
tab where you should see a list of ports which should list your Sphero. If your Sphero is listed in more than one port, take note of the one that has RN-SPP
in the name, and use that one to connect. The list should look something similar to:
| Port | Direction | Name |
|---|---|---|
| COM3 | Outgoing | Sphero-RPB 'RN-SPP' |
| COM4 | Incoming | Sphero-RPB |
In the above case, you should use serialport COM3
.
The second option is to identify the port number. Click the start
button and type device manager
. Once the program appears in the list, open it. Navigate the tree of devices to Ports
, there you should see a list of COM ports, i.e. (COM3, COM4)
. From that port list, select the one that belongs to your Sphero. If your Sphero name is not listed in the ports list, you can either try them one by one or use the first method to identify which port belongs to your Sphero. The port address should look something like:
COM2, COM3, COM4
To initialize and connect to a Sphero:
var sphero = require("sphero"),
orb = sphero("/dev/rfcomm0"); // change port accordingly
orb.connect(function() {
// Sphero's connected!
// do some cool stuff here!
});
Once connected, you can give Sphero commands:
orb.connect(function() {
// roll Sphero forward
orb.roll(150, 0);
// turn Sphero green
orb.color("green");
// have Sphero tell you when it detect collisions
orb.detectCollisions();
// when Sphero detects a collision, turn red for a second, then back to green
orb.on("collision", function(data) {
console.log("collision detected");
console.log(" data:", data);
orb.color("red");
setTimeout(function() {
orb.color("green");
}, 1000);
});
});
For more examples, check out the examples
dir, or the JavaScript SDK documentation on the Sphero developer portal. When running these examples, don't forget to pass the port as an ENV variable like this:
PORT=/your/port node example.js
The Sphero.js module is currently compatible with Node.js versions 0.10.x thru 5.x
In order to install it with Node.js 5.x+, you will need to have g++ v4.8 or higher.
Use npm install
to install development dependencies. You will also need to install Grunt by running npm install -g grunt-cli
You can then run tests with grunt test
.
Use grunt lint
to run ESLint against both lib
and spec/lib
.
The grunt
command by itself will run both of the above tasks.

Response Collector Activity
The Response Collector activity handles consolidation of multiple service invocations into a single Status Response.
Consolidator Implementation
Responses are combined through a
Consolidator.
The default (embedded in the activity implementor class) is to set the code to the maximum HTTP status code among the responses, and to populate the
JSON payload with a map of accumulated StatusResponses.
This behavior can be overridden by entering your a value for the Consolidator
attribute.
This should be the fully-qualified class name of your custom Consolidator implementation (in Java or Kotlin).

public class KafkaProducer<K,V> extends java.lang.Object implements Producer<K,V>
The producer is thread safe and sharing a single producer instance across threads will generally be faster than having multiple instances.
Here is a simple example of using the producer to send records with strings containing sequential numbers as the key/value pairs.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:4242");
props.put("acks", "all");
props.put("retries", 0);
props.put("batch.size", 16384);
props.put("linger.ms", 1);
props.put("buffer.memory", 33554432);
props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
Producer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer(props);
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
producer.send(new ProducerRecord<String, String>("my-topic", Integer.toString(i), Integer.toString(i)));
producer.close();
The producer consists of a pool of buffer space that holds records that haven't yet been transmitted to the server as well as a background I/O thread that is responsible for turning these records into requests and transmitting them to the cluster. Failure to close the producer after use will leak these resources.
The send()
method is asynchronous. When called it adds the record to a buffer of pending record sends
and immediately returns. This allows the producer to batch together individual records for efficiency.
The acks
config controls the criteria under which requests are considered complete. The "all" setting
we have specified will result in blocking on the full commit of the record, the slowest but most durable setting.
If the request fails, the producer can automatically retry, though since we have specified retries
as 0 it won't. Enabling retries also opens up the possibility of duplicates (see the documentation on
message delivery semantics for details).
The producer maintains buffers of unsent records for each partition. These buffers are of a size specified by
the batch.size
config. Making this larger can result in more batching, but requires more memory (since we will
generally have one of these buffers for each active partition).
By default a buffer is available to send immediately even if there is additional unused space in the buffer. However if you
want to reduce the number of requests you can set linger.ms
to something greater than 0. This will
instruct the producer to wait up to that number of milliseconds before sending a request in hope that more records will
arrive to fill up the same batch. This is analogous to Nagle's algorithm in TCP. For example, in the code snippet above,
likely all 100 records would be sent in a single request since we set our linger time to 1 millisecond. However this setting
would add 1 millisecond of latency to our request waiting for more records to arrive if we didn't fill up the buffer. Note that
records that arrive close together in time will generally batch together even with linger.ms=0
so under heavy load
batching will occur regardless of the linger configuration; however setting this to something larger than 0 can lead to fewer, more
efficient requests when not under maximal load at the cost of a small amount of latency.
The buffer.memory
controls the total amount of memory available to the producer for buffering. If records
are sent faster than they can be transmitted to the server then this buffer space will be exhausted. When the buffer space is
exhausted additional send calls will block. For uses where you want to avoid any blocking you can set block.on.buffer.full=false
which
will cause the send call to result in an exception.
The key.serializer
and value.serializer
instruct how to turn the key and value objects the user provides with
their ProducerRecord
into bytes. You can use the included ByteArraySerializer
or
StringSerializer
for simple string or byte types.

The send is asynchronous and this method will return immediately once the record has been stored in the buffer of records waiting to be sent. This allows sending many records in parallel without blocking to wait for the response after each one.
The result of the send is a RecordMetadata
specifying the partition the record was sent to and the offset
it was assigned.
Since the send call is asynchronous it returns a Future
for the
RecordMetadata
that will be assigned to this record. Invoking get()
on this future will block until the associated request completes and then return the metadata for the record
or throw any exception that occurred while sending the record.
If you want to simulate a simple blocking call you can call the get()
method immediately:
byte[] key = "key".getBytes();
byte[] value = "value".getBytes();
ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]> record = new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>("my-topic", key, value)
producer.send(record).get();
Fully non-blocking usage can make use of the Callback
parameter to provide a callback that
will be invoked when the request is complete.
ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]> record = new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>("the-topic", key, value);
producer.send(myRecord,
new Callback() {
public void onCompletion(RecordMetadata metadata, Exception e) {
if(e != null)
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("The offset of the record we just sent is: " + metadata.offset());
}
});
Callbacks for records being sent to the same partition are guaranteed to execute in order. That is, in the
following example callback1
is guaranteed to execute before callback2
:
producer.send(new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>(topic, partition, key1, value1), callback1);
producer.send(new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>(topic, partition, key2, value2), callback2);
Note that callbacks will generally execute in the I/O thread of the producer and so should be reasonably fast or
they will delay the sending of messages from other threads. If you want to execute blocking or computationally
expensive callbacks it is recommended to use your own Executor
in the callback body
to parallelize processing.

greater than 0) and blocks on the completion of the requests associated with these records. The post-condition
of flush()
is that any previously sent record will have completed (e.g. Future.isDone() == true
).
A request is considered completed when it is successfully acknowledged
according to the acks
configuration you have specified or else it results in an error.
Other threads can continue sending records while one thread is blocked waiting for a flush call to complete, however no guarantee is made about the completion of records sent after the flush call begins.
This method can be useful when consuming from some input system and producing into Kafka. The flush()
call
gives a convenient way to ensure all previously sent messages have actually completed.
This example shows how to consume from one Kafka topic and produce to another Kafka topic:
for(ConsumerRecord<String, String> record: consumer.poll(100))
producer.send(new ProducerRecord("my-topic", record.key(), record.value());
producer.flush();
consumer.commit();
Note that the above example may drop records if the produce request fails. If we want to ensure that this does not occur
we need to set retries=<large_number>

McStrike: UK McDonald's Workers Go on Strike as Part of 'Fast Food Global Day of Action'
by by Mohamed ElmaaziWorkers from six McDonald's stores coalesced at the Wadsworth Town branch demanding better pay and an end to zeros hour contracts. A list of their demands was also delivered to Downing Street for the leaders of all the UK's political parties.
12 November 2019 saw the execution of what was expected to be the largest planned walkout of workers from the world's largest fast-food restaurant.
“It is inspiring and motivating to see so much support from the trade union movement, and community for our demand for a New Deal for McDonald’s workers. It’s liberating to see workers come together from different stores striking for a common cause. We are coming together to win a New Deal of £15 an hour, guaranteed hours and a union,” Lewis Baker, a McStriker from Crayford, said.
According to union representatives, it is the fourth time he has gone on strike.
In his op-ed for The Guardian, Baker expressed hope that this is the last time he has to go on strike.
"People are saying that other workers don’t get paid that much, but we say that everyone should be organising in their workplace and demanding a fair wage that they can afford to live off," Baker wrote.
Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn came out in support of the strikers:
The Trades Union Congress also put out a solidarity video in support of the strike:
"Fast Food Global Day of Action"
The strike in the UK was part of what workers are calling a "global day of action" for fast food workers, which included people in the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Belgium.
Workers handed a letter from The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) South London Workers Organising Committee.
UK Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell also joined the strike.
An Open Letter Calling for a "New Deal" for McDonald's Workers
The letter said, "We are mums, dads. We are daughters and sons. We are Londoners. We are workers. We work hard at McDonald’s". According to a union spokesperson it pointed out that McDonald's is "one of the richest corporations on Earth" yet they remain "underpaid" and can't afford "basic things that you need to survive".
"Many of us have gone without food. Many of us work two jobs just to survive", the letter says.
The letter called for a " New Deal" for MCDonald's workers which it listed as:
- We need a minimum wage of £15 an hour for all ages
- We need to abolish zero-hours contracts
- We need notice of our hours of work at least four weeks in advance
- We need the recognition of our union and union access rights
- We need our freedom of speech at work, guaranteed in law
- We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and not face bullying and sexual harassment.
Sputnik contacted the McDonald's press office for a right of reply but no response was forthcoming by the time of publication.

SHBIASADMITCORR(1) SHTOOLS 2.6 SHBIASADMITCORR(1)
SHBiasAdmitCorr
SHBiasAdmitCorr - Calculate the expected multitaper admittance and correlation spectra associated with the input global cross-power spectra of two functions.
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SHBiasAdmitCorr ( SGT, SGG, STT, LMAX, TAPERS, LWIN, K, ADMIT, CORR, MTDEF, TAPER_WT ) REAL*8 SGT(LMAX+1), SGG(LMAX+1), STT(LMAX+1), TAPERS(LWIN+1, K), ADMIT(LMAX-LWIN+1), CORR(LMAX-LWIN+1) INTEGER LMAX, LWIN, K INTEGER, OPTIONAL MTDEF REAL*8, OPTIONAL TAPER_WT(K)
DESCRIPTION
Given the global cross-power spectra Sgt, Sgg and Stt of two functions G and T, SHBiasAdmitCorr will calculate the expected multitaper admittance and correlation spectra associated with the two global functions. This routine expects as input a matrix containing the spherical harmonic coefficients of the localizing windows, which can be generated by a call to SHReturnTapers or SHReturnTapersM. Only the K best-concentrated localization windows will be employed when calculating the biassed cross-power spectra. The maximum calculated degree of the biassed multitapered admittance and correlation spectra corresponds to LMAX-LWIN, as it is assumed that the input cross-power spectra beyond LMAX are unknown, and not zero. Two manners of calculating the localized admittance and correlation spectra are possible according to the value of the optional parameter MTDEF. In case 1, the multitaper cross-power spectra of Sgt, Sgg, and Stt are first calculated, and from these, the admittance and correlation spectra are formed. In case 2, the biassed admittance and correlation spectra are calculated for each individual taper, and these are then averaged to obtain the biassed multitaper admittance and correlation spectra. The default is to apply equal weights to each individual windowed estimate of the spectrum, but this can be modified when MTDEF is 1 by specifying the weights in the optional argument TAPER_WT. The weights must sum to unity and can be calculated by SHMTVarOpt or SHMTVarOpt.
ARGUMENTS
TAPERS (input) REAL*8, DIMENSION (LWIN+1, K) The spherical coefficients of the localizing windows. Each column corresponds to the non-zero coefficients of a single angular order. Since all that is important is the power spectrum of each window, the exact angular order is not important. These are generated by a call to SHReturnTapers or SHReturnTapersM. LWIN (input) INTEGER The spherical harmonic bandwidth of the localizing windows. K (input) INTEGER The number of localizing windows to use. Only the first K columns of TAPERS will be employed, which corresponds to the K best-concentrated localizing windows. INCSPECTRA (input) REAL*8, DIMENSION (LDATA+1) The global unwindowed power spectrum. LDATA (input) INTEGER The maximum degree of the global unwindowed power spectrum. OUTCSPECTRA (output) REAL*8, DIMENSION (*) The expectation of the multitaper localized power spectrum. The maximum spherical harmonic degree of the output is min(LDATA+LWIN, SIZE(OUTSCSPECTRA)-1). TAPER_WT (input) REAL*8, OPTIONAL, DIMENSION (K) The weights to apply to each individual windowed spectral estimate. The weights must sum to unity and are obtained from SHMTVarOpt or SHMTVarOpt0.

Alwar police asks 9 Muslim cops to shave beards, withdraws order day later
The original order on Thursday said the nine policemen were asked to cut their beards so that they acted and looked “unbiased”.
The police in Rajasthan’s Alwar district ordered nine Muslim members of the force to shave their beards, only to withdraw its instructions a day later.
The original order on Thursday said the nine policemen were asked to cut their beards so that they acted and looked unbiased.
As the news got out, on Friday Alwar Superintendent of Police Anil Paris Deshmukh withdrew his own order.
Police said they had earlier given permission to 32 Muslim personnel to sport beards. Thursday’s order withdrew this permission for nine of them.
The remaining 23 policemen were allowed to continue with their beards, police said.
"Policemen should not only work in an unbiased manner but they should also look unbiased," the SP initially told reporters.
"There is a provision of the state government which allows the HoD (head of department) to permit policemen to keep beards, he said.
Under the provision, 32 policemen were given permission. The permission for nine policemen has been cancelled while for the rest of them it stands unchanged," he added.
Deshmukh had said the decision can be reconsidered and those dissatisfied with it can approach the department.
On Friday, while withdrawing the order, he said, It was an administrative order which has been withdrawn after representation from the aggrieved policemen.
The permission to sport a beard has been given, he said.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS A film review by Joan Ellis Copyright 1995 Nebbadoon Syndicate
CIRCLE OF FRIENDS is a pretty picture about appealing people in a lovely landscape, but not one surprise lies on its predictable path. It's a wonder the audience didn't let out a collective shriek, "Surprise me, please!"
Actress Minnie Driver is delightful as Benny, the spunky young girl who takes the daily bus from her country town to the university in Dublin. At first sight, plain Benny falls for Jack (Chris O'Donnell) the reigning rugby jock who, to his everlasting credit, sees her real spirit. "You really know yourself, don't you, Benny?" Jack asks. "Yes, I do," she replies.
Up to this point we have met Benny's protective parents, her friends Eve and Nan, and enough of the bare Irish countryside to warm the heart of a minimalist. It can't go wrong, we think, and then it does. Hooked by a budding romance and the lilting Irish rhythms, we wait interminably for the movie to live up to its good beginning, and it never does.
The truth is, we have been dropped into a soap opera. Can a plain little girl from a little country town find happiness with Dublin's reigning rugby star? In this circle of friends, will we have to worry about rape, betrayal, a pregnancy, an accident? Can Benny count on the loyalty of Eve and Nan? Like the soap it is, the movie dangles these questions before us, and when the answers come, they are so predictable that all dramatic tension drains from the screen.
And that's a shame when the central performance by Minnie Driver is so strong. With a ready smile, natural enthusiasm and open curiosity, she makes Benny vulnerable, but with a sense of herself so sure, that vulnerability never does her in. Bennie suffers whenever she is squeezed into the artifice of college life or a too-tight dance dress, but she becomes a sparkling package of wit, loyalty and decency whenever she is in a meadow with Jack or chattering with her good friend Eve.
Even Driver can't lift the picture out of the hackneyed dilemmas of the 1950s. It was a time when pre-marital pregnancy carried consequences beyond the understanding of today's young people, a time when the loss of a boyfriend meant being trapped at home until another could be snagged. These kinds of problems seem ludicrous in the 1990s.
I wondered for a few moments if this might be a spoof on those times, but it isn't. Then I considered the possibility that it might be an affectionate, if misguided attempt to capture the "flavor" of the 1950s. Alas, it is neither. It's a sudser, nothing more.
If you are charmed by Ireland, think about going instead or also to THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH, a small jewel of a film that captures the extraordinary ability of the Irish to tell a story. A good story is something that eluded entirely the makers of CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

Shakshuka is by far the easiest way to impress your guests at brunch.
 Add onions. Add bell peppers and cook until soft, 5 minutes then add garlic. Pour in tomatoes,and spices.
Make 8 wells in sauce then crack an egg into each well. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 12 to 15 minutes.
Top with feta and garnish with parsley. Serve warm with bread.

As it turns out, we can also use matrices to describe linear transformations between non-euclidean spaces using coordinates. Let's see how using differentiation \(D: \mathbb{P}_2 \to \mathbb{P}_2\) of quadratic polynomials as an example.
- Consider the general quadratic \(ax^2 + bx + c\text{.}\) Why can the subspace \(\mathbb{P}_2\) of quadratics be represented by the basis \(\mathcal{B}=\{x^2, x, 1\}\text{?}\)
- What is the image under \(D\) of each of the basis vectors?
- Under the basis \(\mathcal{B}\text{,}\) what is the coordinate vector that describes a general quadratic?
- What are the coordinates of the basis vectors? How about their images under \(D\text{?}\)
- Verify that when the matrix for \(D\) is applied to the coordinate vector for \(x^2 - x -1\) that the coordinate vector for \(2x-1\) is obtained.

Extensions
All available extensions can be found under lib/ext. Extensions extend client, server, or both. Some functionality requires both client and server side extensions to be applied (jiff-<client/server>-bignumber.js). For a concrete example of how an extension is created, look at jiff-client-bignumber.js.
Creating Extensions
These are the required steps when you want to create a client extension:
File Creation: Create your extension file, and write a top-level function to scope the module (checkout jiff-client-bignumber.js: something like (function(exports, node) { .... })(typeof(exports) ....) ). This function acts as the scope for the module, which forbids name conflicts as well as forbid others from modifying or messing around with the functions and constants inside. Additionally, it makes the code useable from the browsers and nodejs.
API Name: Your API should be reachable through an object name jiff_<module_name> = {}. This is the defacto name space for this module. Calling code on the user-side will use that name (jiff_<module_name>) to access the functions you choose to expose. For nodejs the name space will be ignored and calling code can use the object returned by the require() call corresponding to this module. You will need to modify the parameter passed to the top-level function form step 1 to acheive this.
make_jiff: Inside the top-level function, create a function called make_jiff. The function should take two parameters:
- _base_instance:_ the base instance to wrap the extension around, it can be a basic jiff-client.js instance or an instance of another extension, you can use this instance to perform the basic operation that build your modules (sharing of integers, simple operations on ints, etc).
- options: should be an object that provides your module with whatever options it requires. The options for the base_instance will be passed to it prior to calling your modules and may not be inside the options object, but you can access them using base_instance.
Dependencies: If your module requires other extensions be applied to the base instance, you can force this through a runtime check (if condition), by seeing if the required extension name exists in base_instance.modules array. You will need to add the name of this module to that array as well.
Adding Functionality: You have two options:
- use hooks to modify the functionality of the base instance "in place" and then return the base instance.
- Create a new object that contains the base_instance (perhaps as an attribute named "base"), you will need to recreate the JIFF API at the new object level. The implementation of this API can use functionality from base_instance. Return the new object.
Overriding Functionality: If you need to override any feature in jiff (change how share work, or how open work, or how beaver_triplets work etc), look at the hooks documentation documentation to see if it is available as a hook, or can be implemented by overriding jiff's built-in helper functions. If it is, your best bet would be to use it on top of base_instance. Another approach could be to override functions inside the base_instance or to create a new object with brand new functions (that may or may not refer to base_instance). These approaches can be mixed.
New Functionality: If you want to add additional feature that does not override any other feature in jiff, implement that in a function under a new appropriate name, make sure to document the function properly.
API Exposure: Make sure to expose the make_jiff function, by adding it the exports object passed to the top-level function in step 1. You can expose any additional helpers or functions the same way.
Keep in mind that others may base extensions on your extension, or that clients may want to combine functionality from two extensions together. If you have specific dependencies or if you know that the extension will be incompatible with other extensions, make sure to check inside the .modules array, and throw the appropriate errors.
If going with approach 5(b), then you must ensure that your new functions execute the appropriate hooks, either through use of base_instance, or manually.

Gardaí investigating death of man in Kerry 'anxious' for witnesses to come forward
The 55-year-old’s body was discovered by gardaí at a house Killarney on Wednesday.
by Adam DalyGARDAÍ INVESTIGATING THE death of a man found at a house in Co Kerry have made an appeal for witnesses to come forward.
The body of Thomas Carton was discovered by gardaí at a house in Torc Terrace, Killarney shortly after 10pm on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old’s body was taken to University Hospital Kerry where a post-mortem examination was carried out, the results of which will not be released for “operational reasons”.
The scene in Torc Terrace is still currently preserved and a technical examination by the local scenes of crime unit is ongoing.
A garda spokesperson said investigating officers are “continuing to keep an open mind” in relation to this matter.
It is understood that gardaí are not investigating the incident as a murder currently but are trying to establish the movements of Thomas Carton in the days leading up to his death.
“Gardaí are particularly anxious to hear from people who may have seen or spoken to Thomas in recent days or who may have any information whatsoever in relation to his death.”
Anyone who has any information about this incident is asked to contact Killarney Garda Station on 064 – 667 1160, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111 or any garda station.

CONTACT (PG)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis Running Time: 153 minutes Originally Released: July 11, 1997 (USA-wide)
Reviewed by E. Benjamin Kelsey
* * * ½ (out of four)
CONTACT is the 1997 movie I've seen the most - five times to be exact. Four of those times were on the big screen, but even on a TV, it's a very impressive film. The same can't be said for films like INDEPENDANCE DAY, but that's because CONTACT is a rare example in sci-fi filmmaking where the story is treated more importantly than the special effects, and all of us know looking back that ID4 didn't offer much outside of some one-time delightful eye candy.
CONTACT's wonderfully presented story deals with Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster), a radio astronomer whose preference of study involves the outdated technique of "merely listening" to sounds out in space. Her interest in the field of astronomy developed at a very young age, encouraged by her loving father, Ted (David Morse), who let Ellie use a small ham radio to pick up on frequencies and communicate with people as far away as Pensacola, FL (that was, of course, before the days of Internet chat rooms). While everyone else uses modern technologies to aid them in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (of which the program SETI is an acronym for), Ellie prefers to pop on a pair of headphones and see what she can pick up on, keeping the youthful magic and intrigue strongly alive.
Ellie's strong scientific basis essentially makes her an atheist, a belief likely influenced by the death of her father while she was still quite young. In Puerto Rico, she meets Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey), a writer examining the effects of technology on the world's overall happiness; a one- time seminary student who describes himself as "a man of the cloth, without the cloth".  It's a weak and hurried relationship, but director Zemeckis needs it to add to the plot later on. Meanwhile, Dr. David Drumlin (Tom Skerritt), who has authority over SETI but finds the program a frivolous waste of time and money, is ready to pull the plug on any and all SETI funding. This leaves the passionate Ellie searching for new sponsors, eventually finding a setup in New Mexico and leaving Palmer with no explanation, and only a one night stand to remember.
It is in this NM city where, several months later, Ellie finally picks up on a strong signal from outer space, perhaps the most profound discovery in the history of science. When the signal is closely examined, many new developments spring up, and before long, Drumlin is stepping in to take over the operation he once scoffed at. Eventually, it is concluded that information in the signal may be blueprints for a transportation device used to teleport an Earthling to Vega (where the signal seems to have originated). The media swarms, fanatics go further off the deep end, scientists clamor for new information, politicians huddle in discussion of appropriate actions to take, and presidents are morphed into a celluloid reality (remember when Zemeckis couldn't get enough of this in FORREST GUMP?). As if that weren't enough, Ellie's discovery leads her to the nation's capital where she again runs into Palmer.
CONTACT is based on the novel by Carl Sagan and deals heavily with the subject of science vs. religion. The impressive thing is how well both aspects are presented, with no signs of bias. Arguments for both sides are intelligent, solid, and thought-provoking. When Palmer joins a selection committee to choose an ambassador to Vega (of which Ellie is a leading candidate), personal convictions play a more important role than love interests. The question is, can a person who doesn't believe in God truly be the best representative of Earth when 90% of the planet *does* believe in a higher power? Even when the film wraps up, it's uncertain whether it's meant to play as an advocate for religion, science, both, or even neither, and in our modern day society where "right and wrong" is only opinion (at least speaking "politically correctly"), the ambiguity is an incentive.
Don't get me wrong. As much as it sounds like it, CONTACT isn't merely a theology class rolled into a reel of film. It's a *highly* enjoyable two and a half hours. Despite its seemingly heavy issues, it's not a tedious undertaking to watch this film. The special effects are outstanding, though (warning!) highly depreciated on the small screen. Even so, some of the subtle visual effects (that will likely go unnoticed by many) are even more impressive than ones more recognizable as "sci-fi". The storytelling is rich and complete, and although there are moments in the film that feel quite pretentious (and at times, even hokey), it's easily one of the best 1997 films, and one of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen. This is Zemeckis' best since BACK TO THE FUTURE, and for those of us who actually know that FORREST GUMP was astronomically overrated, Zemeckis now has real reason to boast.

Dear LazyWeb,
Is there a Python module that implements the server side of the FastCGI protocol? I.e., when Apache connects to some process, it is implementing the server side, and the process is implementing the client side.
This doesn't answer your question, but there's a twisted module that acts as a FastCGI client and is documented well enough to be able to write a server with it. Code here.
It's buggy, mind (and probably hasn't been tested) - my previous attempt to use it failed on account of line 129 should mention valueLen twice. I gave up an wrote my own redirect in mod_python. To make up for this, it does have a good rant about FastCGI at the top...
Ian, You need to explain more - why do you have a need for interfacing with an existing FastCGI server?
# Jeremy
That would be really useful for being able to use Python as middleware for interfacing with PHP code.
Good luck!
# Peter Russell
Yes, that's the sort of thing I want to use it for.
# Ian Bicking
flup maybe? http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/
Haven't used it, but I've seen it suggested in a number of places for FastCGI support...
Django: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/
TurboGears: http://www.turbogears.org/docs/deployment/lighttpd.html
web.py: http://webpy.org/
These are all the client side, though I'll probably be using that for reference if nothing comes up. I believe all of these are using Flup, though there is also a fcgi module in jonpy that is also used some places (might have been used for Flup for all I know).
# Ian Bicking
Swap 'client' and 'server' terms, please. When apache connects to FastCGI application, application is the server, and apache is the client, because apache/mod_fastcgi sends _request_ and application _serves_ it. Client requests, server replies. Browser is the client for web-server, but web-server is the client for application(s) server(s).
# checat
Yes, "server" is not really a good description. It's the server side of the equation, but the server is a client of the FastCGI protocol, in that the server requests and the FastCGI app responds. This is the same problem with X terminology.
Really we should have words that mean closer to human/user and further from human/user, because this is often what we are really concerned about, or can most easily understand when considering the architecture. Note that developers don't count as humans in this equation ;)

_Belly_ (R) ** (out of ****)
The feature debut of hot hip-hop music video director Hype Williams serves up what one would expect from that fact: music stars in the cast (rappers DMX, Nas, and Method Man; singers Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of TLC, and Taral Hicks) and, most of all, highly stylized, video-ready visuals. Williams pulls out all the stops, employing everything from freeze frames and frenetic editing to having different scenes and shots ghosted over others. Williams's tricks are given an added sheen by the rich colors of Malik Sayeed's stunning cinematography.
But all of Williams's glitz, delicious eye candy as it is, eventually overshadows his own script. It's a by-the-numbers story about the fall and possible redemption of two longtime friends and drug dealers, Tommy (DMX, showing genuine big screen presence and charisma) and Sincere (Nas), one a badass (Tommy), one more mellow (the aptly named Sincere) and looking for a stable life for his wife Tionne (Watkins) and their child. As straightforward as that sounds, all the visual style unnecessarily drains the coherence from the story, which bounces from one image and place to another with only a voiceover serving as the thin thread tying together the pieces. Williams is a name to watch; _Belly_ leaves no doubt as to his remarkable talent as a visual stylist, and he coaxes convincing work from his mostly novice cast. But until his storytelling ability catches up, he'll remain just that--a name to watch.

Looking to contribute something to Select2? Here's how you can help.
Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.
Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return, they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing patches and features.
When reporting bugs or requesting features, the issue tracker on GitHub is the recommended channel to use.
The issue tracker is not a place for support requests. The mailing list or IRC channel are better places to get help.
We really appreciate clear bug reports that consistently show an issue within Select2.
The ideal bug report follows these guidelines:
master
branch.Please try to be as detailed as possible in your bug report, especially if an isolated test case cannot be made. Some useful questions to include the answer to are:
All of these questions will help others fix and identify any potential bugs.
Select2 is a large library that carries with it a lot of functionality. Because of this, many feature requests will not be implemented in the core library.
Before starting work on a major feature for Select2, contact the community first or you may risk spending a considerable amount of time on something which the project developers are not interested in bringing into the project.
Select2 is made up of multiple submodules that all come together to make the standard and extended builds that are available to users. The build system uses Node.js to manage and compile the submodules, all of which is done using the Grunt build system.
Select2 can be built and developed on any system which supports Node.js. The preferred Node.js version is 0.10, but 0.12 and later versions can be used without any noticeable issues. You can download Node.js at their website.
All other required Node.js packages can be installed using npm, which comes bundled alongside Node.js.
cd /path/to/select2/repo
npm install
You may need to install libsass on your system if it is not already available in order to build the SASS files which generate the CSS for themes and the main component.
In order to build and serve the documentation, you need to have Jekyll installed on your system.
Select2 uses the Grunt build task system and defines a few custom
tasks for common routines. One of them is the compile
task, which compiles
the JavaScript and CSS and produces the final files.
cd /path/to/select2/repo
grunt compile
You can also generate the minified versions (.min.js
files) by executing the
minify
task after compiling.
cd /path/to/select2/repo
grunt minify
Using the Grunt build system, you run Jekyll and serve the documentation locally. This will also set up the examples to use the latest version of Select2 that has been built.
cd /path/to/select2/repo
grunt docs
Select2 uses the QUnit test system to test individual components.
cd /path/to/selct2/repo
grunt test
We use GitHub's pull request system for submitting patches. Here are some guidelines to follow when creating the pull request for your fix.
src
directory will prevent merge conflicts from occuring. Making
this happen can be as a simple as not committing changes from the dist
directory.By following these steps, you will make it easier for your pull request to be reviewed and eventually merged.
Anyone can help the project maintainers triage issues and review pull requests.
Select2 regularly receives new issues which need to be tested and organized.
When a new issue that comes in that is similar to another existing issue, it
should be checked to make sure it is not a duplicate. Duplicates issues should
be marked by replying to the issue with "Duplicate of #[issue number]" where
[issue number]
is the url or issue number for the existing issue. This will
allow the project maintainers to quickly close off additional issues and keep
the discussion focused within a single issue.
If you can test issues that are reported to Select2 that contain test cases and confirm under what conditions bugs happen, that will allow others to identify what causes a bug quicker.
It is very common for pull requests to be opened for issues that contain a clear solution to the problem. These pull requests should be rigorously reviewed by the community before being accepted. If you are not sure about a piece of submitted code, or know of a better way to do something, do not hesitate to make a comment on the pull request.
If you come across tickets which have not been updated for a while, you are
encouraged to revive them. While this can be as simple as saying :+1:
, it is
best if you can include more information on the issue. Common bugs and feature
requests are more likely to be fixed, whether it is by the community or the
developers, so keeping tickets up to date is encouraged.
It should also be made clear that all code contributed to Select must be licensable under the MIT license. Code that cannot be released under this license cannot be accepted into the project.
