HOLLOW MAN (Columbia) Starring: Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Bacon, Josh Brolin, Kim Dickens, Greg Grunberg, Joey Slotnick, Mary Randle. Screenplay: Andrew W. Marlowe. Producers: Douglas Wick and Alan Marshall. Director: Paul Verhoeven. MPAA Rating: R (violence, gore, profanity, nudity, adult themes) Running Time: 114 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
HOLLOW MAN follows in the fine tradition of James Whale's 1933 version of THE INVISIBLE MAN, in which Claude Rains loses his mind and goes on a murderous rampage. There is, however, a more realistic element to Paul Verhoeven's contemporary version of the tale: This invisible man tests his power by going around feeling up women. We understand this instinctively to be realistic because it's in the DNA of every heterosexual adolescent male to define invisibility as the power to walk into the girls' locker room with impunity. Hell yes we'd engage in a little mischief if no one could see us; even the best of us might find it hard to resist the temptation. Power corrupts, and so on and so forth.
HOLLOW MAN could have been a provocative examination of what that temptation would do to one of the best of us. Instead, its invisible man is Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon), an egomaniacal jerk heading a government research project into rendering people invisible, a process that proves much easier than rendering them visible again. After a breakthrough leads to the apparent discovery of a method for reversing the process on test animals, Caine decides to test the invisibility serum on himself, against the protests of his colleagues Linda McKay (Elisabeth Shue) and Matthew Kensington (Josh Brolin). The invisibility serum works on Caine, but the reversal serum is not so successful, stranding Caine in his invisible state. And Caine begins to discover that he kinda likes the freedom it grants him to do virtually anything.
A bunch of techno-babble sets up the notion that the subjects of Caine's serum are "out of phase with the visible universe" blah blah blah, and disappear from the outside in, one layer at a time. And make no mistake about it, it's one heck of a nifty visual trick (actually introduced in reverse when a test ape gradually turns from skeleton into layers of musculature). In fact, HOLLOW MAN is awash in nifty visual tricks cleverly implemented: the thermal view of a full frontal Bacon; a scene of Caine vomiting up invisible food in silent answer to that age-old question; Bacon's ghostly visage appearing in water, smoke and a tossed bag of blood. As effects-heavy thrillers go, this one at least makes every moment of technological gee-whizzery genuinely worth a gee-whiz.
What it lacks, in essence, is anything that can be called a story. There's a vacant spot in the center of the film even before Caine vanishes, because there's nothing remotely sympathetic about him from the outset.  Once we can't see him, he's the same guy, only now with the ability to render his obnoxiousness more directly on others. There's no character arc to Sebastian Caine; HOLLOW MAN merely presents the fairly self-evident answer to the question, "What would happen if you granted omnipotence to a cruel, self-absorbed bastard with a God complex?" The script doesn't even give a character arc to its ostensible protagonist, Shue's Dr. McKay. Perhaps she too could have been tempted, or learned something about scientific hubris. But no one learns anything in HOLLOW MAN, except to stay out of the way of an invisible sociopath. Ultimately, it's nothing but a technically proficient mad slasher movie.
Make that a fairly diverting, technically proficient mad slasher movie, at least during its high-energy third act. HOLLOW MAN is giddily gruesome from the outset -- engineered by Verhoeven, the king of giddy gruesomeness -- but it really goes wild once Caine traps his research team in their underground facility. The film turns from a gloss on Cronenberg's THE FLY to a gloss on both ALIEN and ALIENS (though I actually enjoyed the nod to WESTWORLD, with Josh Brolin following in Papa James' footsteps in a cat-and-mouse game involving thermal perception). The final 20 minutes becomes a frantic and generally entertaining hack-n-slash through the supporting cast members, leading up to an appropriately ridiculous climax. It's too bad Verhoeven and screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe weren't interested in putting some meat on HOLLOW MAN's bones. Even with all its visceral appeal, it could have been so much more interesting to watch the story of the guy who wants to walk into the girls' locker room with impunity, instead of the guy who wants to walk into the girls' locker room and blow it up.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 sick degrees of Kevin Bacon: 6.

Meditation process
How did the 'process over product' concept affect the way you tackled the site redesign and rebuild?
When looking at the task of redesigning my blog, I briefly considered using Bootstrap because it makes it very intuitive to create nice design. I know I'm not a designer and my wireframes more than reflect that but I enjoyed going through the process of scribbling down some boxes and then using Skeleton making it look remotely like those wireframes. I probably swore more than a lot at the CSS because things just did not beahve like I expected them to. But it was all good fun and I really had to drag myself away from the designing and getting it perfect bit in the end.
What did you think about meditation before reading chapter 2 of "Search inside yourself" ?
When I think of meditation, I immediately think of yoga, deep breath and relaxation. I believe it helps to clear your mind and tackle anything that's thrown your way.
What new things have you learnt about meditation?
Mindful meditation is all about paying attention where your attention wanders and then bring it back to where you want it to be. Once you can do this on demand, it will lead to calmness, clarity and happiness.
Meditation is like exercise for the mind. For example, if you do a lot of meditation exercises, your mind becomes calmer and more perceptive, you can focus your attention more strongly and for longer, and so on.
You can meditate in any position that makes you feel both relaxed and alert.
Did any of the suggested meditation techniques stand out to you?
I think the practice of focusing on your breath and bringing your attention back to it whenever it wanders appeals to me and I might give it a go.
Any other musings?

An opera; International Women's Day
Somewhat belatedly, on the occasion of Women’s Day - it is refreshing for me to encounter, in literature, a wife saving her husband in distress (instead of the other way round).
I’m referring to Beethoven’s only completed opera, “Fidelio”.
Fidelio is the alias of a character named Leonore, who gets employed by the jailer, Rocco - and even cross-dresses as a man - so that she can gain access to the inner-most section of the jail; she wants to see if her husband, Florestan, is indeed imprisoned there.
I think I’ve revealed enough about the plot, so I’ll stop relating the details here.
Let me end with the (German) words from the finale of the opera:
“Nie wird es zu hoch besungen, Retterin des Gatten sein.” (Never can we over-praise a wife who saves her husband.) Translator: Lionel Salter.
Details for lovers of classical music: I listened to a 1995 recording, featuring Nikolaus Harnoncourt as conductor, and Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
I believe well-deserved honour goes to National Library Board (of Singapore) for stocking both CD and CD-player at the public library known as Library@Esplanade .

[com.wsscode.pathom.profile :as pp]))
(defn sleep [n]
(let [c (async/chan)]
(js/setTimeout #(async/put! c ::done) n)
c))
(def reader
{:async-info
(fn [_]
(go
(<! (sleep (+ 100 (rand-int 1000))))
"From async"))
:foo
(fn [_]
"Regular")})
(def parser
(p/async-parser {::p/plugins [(p/env-plugin {::p/reader reader})
pp/profile-plugin]}))
Try the example:
The core plugins work normally with the async parser, so error and profiling will work as expected.
6.14.1. Error propagation
When an exception occurs inside a core async channel the error is triggered as part of the channel exception handler.
That doesn’t compose very well, and for the parser needs it’s better if we have something more like the async/await
pattern used on JS environments. Pathom provides some macros to help making this a simple thing, instead of using
go
and <!
, use the go-catch
and <?
macros, as in the following example:
(ns com.wsscode.pathom.book.async.error-propagation
(:require [cljs.core.async :as async]
[com.wsscode.common.async-cljs :refer [go-catch <?]]
[com.wsscode.pathom.core :as p]
[com.wsscode.pathom.profile :as pp]))
(defn sleep [n]
(let [c (async/chan)]
(js/setTimeout #(async/put! c ::done) n)
c))
(def reader
{:async-info
(fn [_]
(go-catch
(<? (sleep (+ 100 (rand-int 1000))))
"From async"))
:async-error
(fn [_]
; go catch will catch any exception and return then as the channel value
(go-catch
; <? macro will re-throw any exception that get read from the channel
(<? (sleep (+ 100 (rand-int 1000))))
(throw (ex-info "Error!!" {}))))
:foo
(fn [_]
"Regular")})
(def parser
(p/async-parser {::p/plugins [(p/env-plugin {::p/reader reader})
p/error-handler-plugin
pp/profile-plugin]}))
Use com.wsscode.common.async-clj
for Clojure and com.wsscode.common.async-cljs
for ClojureScript. If you writing a
cljc file, use the following:
[#?(:clj com.wsscode.common.async-clj
:cljs com.wsscode.common.async-cljs)
:refer [go-catch <?]]
6.14.2. JS Promises
In JS world most of the current async responses comes as promises, you can use the <!p
macro to read from promises
inside go
blocks as if they were channels. Example:
(ns com.wsscode.pathom.book.async.js-promises
(:require [com.wsscode.common.async-cljs :refer [go-catch <!p]]
[com.wsscode.pathom.core :as p]
[goog.object :as gobj]))
(def reader
{:dog.ceo/random-dog-url
(fn [_]
(go-catch
(-> (js/fetch "https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random") <!p
(.json) <!p
(gobj/get "message"))))})
(def parser
(p/async-parser {::p/plugins [(p/env-plugin {::p/reader reader})
p/error-handler-plugin
p/trace-plugin]}))
7. Other helpers
7.1. p/map-select
Imagine select-keys
on steroids. This helper function takes a map filter its contents
according to an EQL selection. Example:
(p/map-select {:foo "bar" :deep {:a 1 :b 2}} [{:deep [:a]}])
=> {:deep {:a 1}}
8. Removing specs on Clojurescript
If you are not using the specs provided by Pathom you can free some build space by eliding then. To do that you need to set the Clojurescript compiler options with:
{:closure-defines
{com.wsscode.pathom.misc.INCLUDE_SPECS false
; if you also want to remove from EQL
; edn-query-language.core.INCLUDE_SPECS false
}}
9. GraphQL Integration
Pathom provides a collection of utilities to integrate with GraphQL.
9.1. Raw components
One simple usage you can get from pathom is the ability to translate EQL queries into GraphQL queries. To do so you can use the function query→graphql.
(pg/query->graphql [:foo]) ; => query { foo }
query→graphql
can take an options argument to configure some settings:
-
::pg/js-name
: a function that will take a keyword prop and return the name string to be used in the GraphQL side -
::pg/ident-transform
: a function that will convert an ident in a selector + params
If you want to process the query yourself, using query→graphql
is a nice way to express the GraphQL
queries without having to using strings in Clojure.
Here you can play with the query→graphql
function, use the buttons to load examples:
9.1.1. Idents in GraphQL
In GraphQL, when you want to load some entity, the path usually goes from some root accessor that determines which type of entity is gonna be returned, plus a parameter (usually some id) to specifify the entry. For example, to load some user you might write a query like:
query {
user(id: 42) {
name
}
}
You can write it similar in EQL as:
[{(:user {:id 42})
[:name]}]
When you need to load multiple things at once, GraphQL provides an aliasing feature:
query {
first: user(id: 42) {
name
}
second: user(id: 424) {
name
}
}
To generate that kind of query with EQL you can use special parameters:
[{(:user {::pg/alias "first" :id 42})
[:name]}
{(:user {::pg/alias "second" :id 424})
[:name]}]
The parameter will be removed from the list, and the alias will be created. If you don’t like the syntax, since this is just Clojure data we can make some helper around:
(defn aliased [alias key]
(eql/update-property-param key assoc ::pg/alias alias))
[{(aliased "first" '(:user {:id 42}))
[:name]}
{(aliased "second" '(:user {:id 424}))
[:name]}]
Not that much different, but you can be more creative and design your favorite API for it.
So far we just used the params to express an entity request, but in EQL we also have another way to express identity, via idents.
If you are not familiar with the ident concept, you can imagine it as a way to point to some specific entity, an ident is takes the form of a vector with two elements, the first element will determine the "identity type", which is always a keyword, and on the second element you have the "identity value", which can be any EDN value.
Some applied example of EQL idents:
-
Datomic to use as lookup refs to quickly find some node data from some unique attribute.
-
Fulcro uses it to automatic normalization.
-
Pathom uses it as a way to provide initial data context.
The ident concept doesn’t exist in GraphQL, but still can we try to translate it.
What Pathom does then is get the most common case, that is a single entry point with a single parameter, and extract that from a qualified ident using the following syntax:
qualified ident means the ident keyword is qualified, example: [:user/id 123] is
qualified because :user/id has a namespace.
|
[:user/id 42]
; (namespace :user/id) -> gives the graphql entry point
; (name :user/id) -> gives the param name
; 42 -> gives the param value
So the previous ident turns in:
query { _user_id_42: user(id: 42) }
Note that it also created an alias automatically, this way you can write queries using multiple similar idents and they will end up in different names:
[{[:user/id 42] [:name]}
{[:user/id 48] [:name]}]
Turns in:
query {
_user_id_42: user(id: 42) {
name
}
_user_id_48: user(id: 48) {
name
}
}
In some cases one param is not enough, there is a supported And
notation:
[{[:user/idAndname [42 "foo"]] [:name]}]
But to be honest, that just looks bad, if you need more than one param is better just to don’t use an ident for direct translation, still this can be useful if you need a quick and dirty way to access some multi-param in an ident fashion.
You can customize this ident translation behavior by providing ::pg/ident-transform
to
the pg/query→graphql
call, here is the code of the default implementation so you can
understand what a translation mean:
(defn ident-transform [[key value]]
(let [fields (if-let [field-part (name key)]
(str/split field-part #"-and-|And") ["id"])
value (if (vector? value) value [value])]
(if-not (= (count fields) (count value))
(throw (ex-info "The number of fields on value needs to match the entries" {:key key :value value})))
{::selector (-> (namespace key) (str/split #"\.") last)
::params (zipmap fields value)}))
| Pathom GraphQL + Connect integration handles idents in a different way than describe in the previous section, to understand how the connect ident integration is done check this section. |
9.2. Fulcro Integration
There are two main ways in which to use Pathom + GraphQL + Fulcro:
-
Simple: Use utilities to convert queries/mutations to GraphQL, and parse the responses. This gives you a quick and easy interface to existing GraphQL APIs, but is not extensible.
-
Advanced: Integrate with Connect. This method pulls the GraphQL schema into Connect indexes with various benefits: Tools give better support (e.g. query autocompletion within Fulcro Inspect), and you can add your own client-side resolvers that can derive new shapes/data for the API, making it possible to shape the external API to your local UI whims.
In both cases Pathom includes implementations of Fulcro Remotes, so you can easily drop GraphQL support into a Fulcro application as a remote!
This chapter assumes you’re familiar with Pathom’s async support.
The namespaces concerned are:
[com.wsscode.pathom.graphql :as pg]
[com.wsscode.pathom.connect.graphql2 :as pcg]
[com.wsscode.pathom.fulcro.network :as pfn]
| Before Pathom 2.2.12 the default functions to work with GraphQL used to convert the standard Clojure hyphenated to GraphQL camel case format, but after some user reports we realized that wasn’t a good idea because some names could never be accessed when entry points started with capital letters. To avoid those problems, since Pathom 2.2.12 we recommend new implementations that don’t transform the names in any way by default, but at same time provides custom name munging if the user wants to use it. None of the previous code was changed so library clients will not break with this change, we are just using new namespaces that use the new simpler way. |
9.2.1. Simple GraphQL
There is a Fulcro Remote in pfn/graphql-network
that allows you to easily add plain GraphQL
support to a Fulcro client like so:
(fulcro/new-fulcro-client
:networking
{:remote
(pfn/graphql-network2
{::pfn/url (str "https://api.github.com/graphql?access_token=" token)})})
The queries from components have the following rules:
-
You can use any namespace on the query keywords.
-
The
name
portion of a keyword will be used to send to GraphQL
Mutations on a Simple GraphQL remote have the following rules:
-
Mutations can have any namespace. The GraphQL conversion will elide the namespace.
Simple GraphQL Example
To demonstrate how easy it is to get a simple application going against an external GraphQL API we’ll build a simple
TODO app. We’ve already gone to graph.cool
, and created a GraphQL schema at https://www.graph.cool/ (a back-end
as a service provider). You can play with the API by entering queries and mutations via their interface
to our endpoint at https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/cjjkw3slu0ui40186ml4jocgk.
For example, entering this query into the left pane:
query {
allTodoItems {id, title, completed}
}
should give you something like this (people play with this, so yours will be different):
{
"data": {
"allTodoItems": [
{
"id": "cjjkw7yws06el0135q5sf372s",
"title": "Write docs on workspaces",
"completed": true
}]
}
}
So, you can see we have a root query that we can run to get all todo items, and each one has an id and title. So, we can write a simple Fulcro tree of components for that query:
(defsc TodoItem
[this props]
{:ident [:todo/id :todo/id]
:query [:todo/id :todo/title :todo/completed]}
...)
(defsc TodoSimpleDemo [this props]
{:ident (fn [] [::root "singleton"])
:query [{:allTodoItems (fp/get-query TodoItem)}]}
...)
Notice that on TodoItem
we namespaced the keys. This is fine, as the integration code will strip these from the
query. If TodoSimpleDemo
were your root component, the query for it is already compatible with our defined API
when using our GraphQL network:
(fulcro/new-fulcro-client
:started-callback
(fn [app]
(df/load app :allTodoItems todo/TodoItem {:target [::root "singleton" :allTodoItems]}))
:networking
{:remote (pfn/graphql-network2 "https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/cjjkw3slu0ui40186ml4jocgk")})
Mutations are similarly easy. The network component translates them as discussed earlier, so doing something like adding a new todo item likes like this:
(fm/defmutation createTodoItem [todo]
(action [env] ...local optimistic stuff...)
(remote [{:keys [ast]}]
;; Don't send the UI-specific params to the server...just the id and title
(update ast :params select-keys [:todo/id :todo/title])))
The full source is shown below, but hopefully you can see how simple it is to get something going pretty quickly.

9.2.2. GraphQL and Connect
The more powerful way to use GraphQL from Pathom is to use it with Connect. This gives you the basic features you saw in the simple version, but also gives you a lot more power and extensibility.
The integration has a bit of boilerplate, but it’s all relatively simple. Please make sure you already understand Pathom Connect before reading this.
Keywords and GraphQL – Prefixes
In order to properly generate indexes Connect needs to know how you will prefix them for a given GraphQL endpoint. From there, the keyword also gives an indication of the "type" and attribute name.
Say we are interfacting with GitHub: we might choose the prefix github
. Then our keywords would need to be
things like :github.User/name
.
You will have to formally declare the prefix you’ve decided on in order to Connect to work.
GraphQL Entry Points and Connect Ident Maps
In GraphQL the schema designer indicates what entry points are possible. In GitHub’s public API you can, for example,
access a User
if you know their login
. You can access a Repository
if you know both the owner
and the repository name
.
You might wish to take a moment, log into GitHub, and play with these at https://developer.github.com/v4/explorer.
To look at a user, you need something like this:
query {
user(login:"wilkerlucio") {
createdAt
}
}
To look at a repository, you need something like this:
query {
repository(owner:"wilkerlucio" name:"pathom") {
createdAt
}
}
Our EDN queries use idents to stand for these kind of entry points. So, we’d like to be able to translate an EDN query like this:
[{[:github.User/login "wilkerlucio"] [:github.User/createdAt]}]
into the GraphQL query above. This is the purpose of the "Ident Map". It is a map whose top-level keys are GraphQL entry point names, and whose value is a map of the attributes required at that entry point associated with EDN keywords:
{ENTRY-POINT-NAME {ATTR connect-keyword
...}
...}
So, an ident map for the above two GraphQL entry points is:
{"user" {"login" :github.User/login}
"repository" {"owner" :github.User/login
"name" :github.Repository/name}}
Installing such an ident map (covered shortly) will enable this feature.
If an entry point requires more than one input (as repository does), then there is no standard EDN ident that can directly use it. We’ll cover how to handle that in Multiple Input Entry Points
| Interestingly, this feature of Pathom gives you an ability on GraphQL that GraphQL itself doesn’t have: the ability to nest an entry point anywhere in the query. GraphQL only understands entry points at the root of the query, but our EDN notation allows you to use an ident on a join at any level. Pathom Connect will correctly interpret such a join, process it against the GraphQL system, and properly nest the result. |
Setting Up Connect with GraphQL
Now that you understand entry points we can explain the rest of the setup. A lot of it is just the standard Connect stuff, but of course there are additions for GraphQL.
First, you need to declare a place to store the indexes, that’s because the GraphQL schema will be loaded asynchronosly later and we need the index reference to add the GraphQL connection.
(defonce indexes (atom {}))
We need to define the configuration for the GraphQL connection:
(def github-gql
{::pcg/url (str "https://api.github.com/graphql?access_token=" (ls/get :github-token))
::pcg/prefix "github"
::pcg/ident-map {"user" {"login" :github.User/login}
"repository" {"owner" :github.User/login
"name" :github.Repository/name}}
::p.http/driver p.http.fetch/request-async})
::pcg/url
-
The GraphQL API endpoint
::pcg/prefix
-
The prefix you’ll use in your EDN queries and mutations.
::pcg/ident-map
-
The definition of GraphQL entry points, as discussed previously.
::p.http/driver
-
A driver that can run HTTP requests. Used to issue requests (e.g. fetch schema).
We’re using ls/get to pull our github access token from browser local storage so we don’t have to check it into
code, and so anyone can use the example unedited. In Chrome, you can set this via
the developer tools "Application" tab (once at the page for your app). Click on local storage, then add a key value
pair. The key should be the keyword (typed out), and the value must be a QUOTED token (e.g. "987398ahbckjhbas"). The quotes
are required!
|
Next, we need to create a parser. This will essentially be basically this:
(def parser
(p/parallel-parser
{::p/env {::p/reader [p/map-reader
pc/parallel-reader
pc/open-ident-reader
p/env-placeholder-reader]
::p/placeholder-prefixes #{">"}
::p.http/driver p.http.fetch/request-async}
::p/mutate pc/mutate-async
::p/plugins [(pc/connect-plugin {; we can specify the index for the connect plugin to use
; instead of creating a new one internally
::pc/indexes indexes})
p/error-handler-plugin
p/request-cache-plugin
p/trace-plugin]}))
Loading the GraphQL Schema and Creating a Remote
The final setup step is to make sure that you load the GraphQL schema into the Connect indexes. If you’re using Fulcro it looks like this:
(new-fulcro-client
:started-callback
(fn [app]
(go-catch
(try
(let [idx (<? (pcg/load-index github-gql))]
(swap! indexes pc/merge-indexes idx))
(catch :default e (js/console.error "Error making index" e)))))
:networking
{:remote (-> (create-parser)
(pfn/pathom-remote)
;; OPTIONAL: Automatically adds profile queries to all outgoing queries, so you see profiling from the parser
(pfn/profile-remote))}}
Adding Resolvers
Of course we’ve done all of this setup so we can make use of (and extend the capabilities of) some GraphQL API.
The normal stuff is trivial: Make EDN queries that ask for the proper attributes in the proper context.
In our example, we might want to list some information about some repositories. If you remember, repositories take two pieces of information, and idents can supply only one.
That’s ok, we can define a resolver for a root-level Connect property that can pre-establish some repositories into our context!
(pc/defresolver repositories [_ _]
{::pc/output [{:demo-repos [:github.User/login :github.Repository/name]}]}
{:demo-repos
[{:github.User/login "wilkerlucio" :github.Repository/name "pathom"}
{:github.User/login "fulcrologic" :github.Repository/name "fulcro"}
{:github.User/login "fulcrologic" :github.Repository/name "fulcro-inspect"}
{:github.User/login "fulcrologic" :github.Repository/name "fulcro-css"}
{:github.User/login "fulcrologic" :github.Repository/name "fulcro-spec"}
{:github.User/login "thheller" :github.Repository/name "shadow-cljs"}]})
Remember, once Connect has enough info in a context, it can fill in the remaining details. Our Ident Map indicates that if we have "user login" and "repository name", then we can get a repository. Thus, a resolver that outputs values for the keywords associated with those requirements is sufficient!
Remember to add this resolver definition before the parser, then we have to add this resolver
to our connect system, do that by updating the call to the connect-plugin
, here is the updated
parser:
(def parser
(p/parallel-parser
{::p/env {::p/reader [p/map-reader
pc/parallel-reader
pc/open-ident-reader
p/env-placeholder-reader]
::p/placeholder-prefixes #{">"}
::p.http/driver p.http.fetch/request-async}
::p/mutate pc/mutate-async
::p/plugins [(pc/connect-plugin {::pc/register repositories ; registering the resolver
::pc/indexes indexes})
p/error-handler-plugin
p/request-cache-plugin
p/trace-plugin]}))
Now we can run a query on :demo-repos
like [{:demo-repos [:github.Repository/createdAt]}]
, and walk the graph
from there to anywhere allowed!
Queries
The queries that are supported "out of the box" are those queries that follow the allowed shape of the documented GraphQL schema for your API. The EDN queries in Fulcro might look like this:
(fp/defsc Repository
[this {:github.Repository/keys [id nameWithOwner viewerHasStarred]}]
{:ident [:github.Repository/id :github.Repository/id]
:query [:github.Repository/id :github.Repository/nameWithOwner :github.Repository/viewerHasStarred]}
...)
(fp/defsc GraphqlDemo
[this {:keys [demo-repos]}]
{:query [{:demo-repos (fp/get-query Repository)}]}
(dom/div
(mapv repository demo-repos)))
All of Connect’s additinal features (placeholder nodes, augmenting the graph, reshaping) are now also easily accessible.
Fulcro Mutations and Remote
If you’re using Fulcro, then the normal method of defining mutations will work if you use the remote shown earlier. You
simply prefix the mutation name with your GraphQL prefix
and it’ll work:
(fm/defmutation github/addStar [_]
(action [{:keys [state ref]}] ...)
(remote [_] true))
This is not the defmutation we showed earlier in the setup. This is Fulcro’s defmutation .
|
You can, of course, modify the parameters, do mutation joins, etc.
Connect-Based Mutations
It is possible that you might want to define a mutation that is not on the GraphQL API, but which does some alternative remote operation.
The notation is the same as for resolvers:
(pc/defmutation custom-mutation [_ params]
{::pc/sym 'custom-mutation ;; (optional) if provided will be used as mutation symbol, otherwise it will use the def symbol (including namespace)
::pc/params [:id {:boo [:y]}] ;; future autocomplete...noop now
::pc/output [:x]} ;; future autocomplete...
;; can be async or sync.
(async/go ...))
Note: The params and output are currently meant as documentation. In an upcoming version they’ll also be leveraged for tool autocomplete.
The body of the mutation can return a value (sync) or a channel (async). This means that the custom mutation could do something like hit an alternate REST API. This allows you to put in mutations that the async parser understands and allows to be integrated into a single expression (and API), even though they are not part of the GraphQL API you’re interacting with.
Of course, if you’re using Fulcro, then you’ll also have to make sure they’re OK with the mutation symbolically
(e.g. define a fm/defmutation
as well).
Multiple Input Entry Points
Earlier we talked about how the Ident Map might specify GraphQL endpoints the required more than one
parameter, and the fact that EDN idents only really have a spot for one bit of data beyond
the keyword: [keyword value]
.
Sometimes we have cases like GitHub’s repository entry point where more than one parameter is required.
This can be gracefully handled with EDN query parameters if you modify how Connect processes the query.
Since version 2.2.0
the connect readers ident-reader
and open-ident-reader
support the
provision of extra context information using the query parameter :pathom/context
.
Now, remember that this query:
[{[:github.repository/name "n"] [...]}]
cannot work because there is only one of the required two bits of info (we also need owner).
What we’re going to do is allow parameters to make up the difference. If you unfamiliar with them, you just surround the element of the query in a list and add a map of params, like this:
'[{([:github.repository/name "n"] {:x v}) [...]}]
Here is how you can use it to query for a pathom in the Github GraphQL API:
[{([:github.repository/name "pathom"] {:pathom/context {:github.repository/owner "wilkerlucio"}}) [...]}]
The problem, of course, is that this is really hard on the eyes. A bit too much nesting soup, and
you need the quote '
in order to prevent an attempt to run a function!
But this is what we need to allow us to add in more information. We can clean up the notation by
defining a helper function:
(defn repository-ident
"Returns a parameterized ident that can be used as a join key to directly query a repository."
[owner name]
(list [:github.repository/name name] {:pathom/context {:github.user/login owner}}))
Now we can write a reasonable query that contains everything we need:
[{(repository-ident "joe" "boo") [:github.repository/created-at]}]
and we’re good to go!
Customizing Result Parsing
Under the hood, Pathom uses a parser reader to do some error
handling and bookkeeping on the query result. The simplest way to customize
query results is to pass in custom mung
and demung
functions. These can be
added as optional keys to the GraphQL configuration map. For example, if our
EQL query keywords are in kebab case, but the GraphQL schema uses camel case,
we can make the Connect plugin do the conversion for us with the following
configuration:
(def github-gql
{::pcg/url (str "https://api.github.com/graphql?access_token=" (ls/get :github-token))
::pcg/prefix "github"
::pcg/mung pg/kebab-case
::pcg/demung pg/camel-case
::pcg/ident-map {"user" {"login" :github.User/login}
"repository" {"owner" :github.User/login
"name" :github.Repository/name}}
::p.http/driver p.http.fetch/request-async})
We can completely customize the query results by passing our own custom parser.
See pcg/parser-item
as an example of what such a parser should look like. This
could be used to coerce uuid values from strings to uuids. Here’s an example of
adapting pcg/parser-item
to also coerce :my.gql.item/id
values to uuids:
(defn demunger-map-reader
"Reader that will demunge keys and coerce :my.gql.item/id values to uuids"
[{::keys [demung]
:keys [ast query]
:as env}]
(let [entity (p/entity env)
k (:key ast)]
(if-let [[_ v] (find entity (pcg/demung-key demung k))]
(do
(if (sequential? v)
(if query
(p/join-seq env v)
(if (= k :my.gql.item/id)
(map uuid v)
v))
(if (and (map? v) query)
(p/join v env)
(if (= k :my.gql.item/id)
(uuid v)
v))))
::p/continue)))
(def parser-item
(p/parser {::p/env {::p/reader [pcg/error-stamper
demunger-map-reader
p/env-placeholder-reader
pcg/gql-ident-reader]}
::p/plugins [(p/env-wrap-plugin
(fn [env]
(-> (merge {::demung identity} env)
(update ::p/placeholder-prefixes
#(or % #{})))))]}))
(def my-gql-config
{::pcg/url "https://api.mydomain.com/graphql"
::pcg/prefix "my.gql"
::pcg/parser-item parser-item
::pcg/ident-map {"item" {"id" :my.gql.item/id}}
::p.http/driver p.http.fetch/request-async})
This is only lightly edited from the implementation of pcg/parser-item
.

1. e4 $7 c5 $8 2. Nf3 $5 Nc6 $1 {John immediately improves over our Week 3 encounter.
He now intends to decline my Morra gambit with 3... d3, when Black has a much
more flexible structure than before, having not committed to e7-e6. He could
then adopt a Scheveningen, or a Dragon...} 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 $6 {One question
mark for stupidity, and another for originality. As the informed few are well
aware, I only know how to play the Morra gambit, so I boldly, or foolishly,
head into unfamiliar territory. I would have gladly unleashed the unsound
Morra and lost a Pawn for nothing, but John is a dogmatic decliner and does
not want the free pawn, like so many of you these days. So instead, I planned
to sacrifice a pawn a little later for chaotic complications, on move 18 to be
exact.} Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 $5 {Some of you may want to know if this entire game was
prepared/memorized beforehand, and I will gladly answer. Since Grandmaster
Fedorowicz has not played the volatile Sveshnikov variation of the Sicilian
since 1991 in the database, I knew for sure going into the match that he would
surprise me with it, and therefore focused all of my pre-game energies on this
anti-positional yet dynamic defense. After 6...e5!?, Black creates gaping
holes on the key d6 and d5 squares, but sends my proud Knight packing for the
hills. If White wishes to keep up the initiative and secure the d5 square, he
must give up the Bishop pair. This is the strategic justification behind the
opening variation, a system Grandmaster Sveshnikov pushed upon the resistant
chess public until they finally appreciated the creativity of his radical idea.
Today, the Sveshnikov remains one of the most popular aggressive responses for
Black in the Open Sicilian.} 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bg5 {I am fighting for control of
the d5 square, but my Knight is still badly offside.} a6 8. Na3 b5 9. Nd5 Be7
10. Bxf6 Bxf6 {The battle lines have been drawn -- Black with his two Bishops
but backward d-pawn, and White with his strong centralized Knight. In the
coming moves, I will bring my sad a3 Knight to e3, where he will assist his
brother on d5.} 11. c3 O-O 12. Nc2 Bg5 13. a4 bxa4 14. Rxa4 a5 15. Bc4 Rb8 {
As all of these moves are logical, they have been played 100's of times over,
1112 in the database, to be precise. Now White has a choice. Should he
permanently defend his Pawn with b3, or tie his Rook down to the defense with
Ra2? Naturally b3 is the more common move, but Ra2 is a retreat of far
reaching beauty.} 16. Ra2 Kh8 {
Black aims to break with f5, so the King must sidestep the White Bishop.} 17.
Nce3 {But if Black strikes with f5 now, then after exf5 he will have to
recapture with the Bishop, and White's central Knights remain undisturbed.
Thus, Fedorowicz supports the f5 break with g6 first. Kasparov did the same in
2005, in the final year of his professional career, against Anand.} g6 18. h4
$1 {Ponomariov uncorked this deep sacrifice against Kramnik a month before
Kasparov's game against Anand, although it had appeared far earlier than that.
At a glance, the Pawn thrust looks extremely dubious, and as we move forward,
it only gets more and more ridiculous!} Bxh4 19. g3 Bg5 20. f4 $1 {
A King's gambit inside a Sveshnikov!} exf4 21. gxf4 Bh4+ 22. Kf1 f5 23. b4 $1 {
A King's, and now an Evans Gambit, inside a Sveshnikov. At last the idea of
Ra2 is revealed: starting at move 17, White spends five of the next six moves
clearing the path for his Queen's Rook to the Kingside by force! The coup
leads to a forced win.} fxe4 24. Rah2 g5 {Still all "theory." Later in 2005,
Kramnik grew tired of defending the Black side, and took the reins for White
vs. Van Wely. After 25. b5 Ne5! Qd4 the position grew unclear, and although
White won, proving an objective advantage is far from obvious. GM Fedorowicz
was most definitely aware of these games.} 25. Ke2 $3 $18 {This adventurous
King walk, however, refutes the entire 17... g6 main line variation of the
Sveshnikov. The key to the solution, like a great chess problem, contains
multiple points: a) By unpinning the King, I threaten fxg5, ripping apart
Black's defenses) The threat of b5 now takes on even greater significance,
as Ne5 now simply hangs a piece c) Black has no immediate punishing counter
attack against White's showboating King, as axb4 axb4 opens up the a1-h8
diagonal for White's Queen to do her mischief. gxf4 is quickly met by Rxh4,
and the natural Bg4 is obviously impossible, as it hangs a piece. Fedorowicz

did not believe him and lost a few dollars on a gentleman's bet. But please,
no one tell the Commissioner, as gambling is against league rules, and I do
not want to face suspension. I must confess, this is a very good way to make
money off me, as, like Tal said, "I smoke, I drink, I gamble, I chase women,

The utility model is suitable
for the field of back light modules, and provides a rear back plate
structure of a back light module, wherein a rear back plate is formed
through mutually splicing a plurality of mounting strips, and hollow
out structures are arranged between various mounting strips. Compared
with an existing rear back plate structure which is integrally formed,
the rear back plate structure of the back light module uses a
plurality of mounting strips to splice and form a rear back plate,
thereby solving the problems that an existing rear back plate which is
made through stamping process generates hard force to cause distortion
and deformation. Furthermore, because the hollow out structures are
arranged between various mounting strips, the strength of the rear
back plate is guaranteed, the weight of the rear back plate is reduced
at the same time, the cost of the rear back plate is also reduced, and
the heat emission efficiency of the back light module is further
increased.

Applications to take part in December's two-day instructor training class are now closed. We received more than three dozen applications from four continents, including over 400 people, and will let people know early next week whether they have been selected. Groups that we can't include in this round will be given priority to take part in the new year.
Meanwhile, yesterday saw the final meeting of the six-week cohort of instructor trainees. The next step is to match trainees with experienced instructors who will guide them through the core Data Carpentry and Software Carpentry material and oversee their final mini-lesson. This will start early in the new year so that we include people from both the multi-week and two-day pilots. Assuming it goes well, we will finally have a pipeline that can meet our community's desire for instructor training.

MADAGASCAR SKIN A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.0 Alternative Scale: *1/2 out of ****
UK, 1995 U.S. Release Date: widely variable (limited) Running Length: 1:33 MPAA Classification: No MPAA Rating (Profanity, sex) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1
Cast: John Hannah, Bernard Hill Director: Chris Newby Producer: Julie Baines Screenplay: Chris Newby Cinematography: Oliver Curtis U.S. Distributor: International Film Circuit
MADAGASCAR SKIN, a two-character study from writer/director Chris Newby, is more boring than it is bad, although both terms apply. From beginning to end, a frustrating sense of inertia holds everything on- screen in a vice-like grip, making for an interminable, tedious ninety minutes. Along the way, there are breakthrough moments when MADAGASCAR SKIN shines, but these are distressingly rare. For most of this movie, I found myself fending off sleep.
Although Newby would like us to believe he has come up with an original plot, the core of his movie -- two dissimilar, lonely men finding companionship with each other -- is a basic motion picture staple. Sadly, perhaps the most unique thing Newby has accomplished in this case is to strip his two protagonists of much of their humanity. They are two-dimensional figures unsuccessfully struggling to escape from their stereotyped cocoons.
 When the lights come on, it's apparent why he prefers the darkness -- the entire left side of his face is covered with a port wine stain the shape of the island Madagascar. Hurt by the looks of repulsion cast in his direction, Harry flees not only the bar, but civilization in general, escaping to a remote section of the Welsh coast, where he intends to live out of his car. Fate has other plans, however, and, while he's walking the beach, Harry comes upon the unconscious Flint (Bernard Hill), who is buried up to the neck in the sand. After a short period of indecision, Harry decides to rescue the older man. Soon, the two of them are squatting in a nearby, apparently-abandoned house that, conveniently, has electricity and running water.
There's nothing compelling about either Harry or Flint, both of whom are sketchily-drawn and incomplete. One is intelligent and educated; the other is illiterate and obtuse. One is gay; the other is heterosexual. One is shy and withdrawn; the other is blustering and forthright. One eats beans with his hands; the other swallows insects and chews on glass. The only things they share are poverty and an almost-desperate need for human companionship. On those occasions when MADAGASCAR SKIN slices through its self-imposed barriers to develop a moment's empathy with these characters, we are treated to a glimpse of the quiet power this film could have possessed. But there are too few of these moments, and much time is wasted on an arm's-length view of individuals whose bizarre attributes make them unfathomable and contradictory, not special.
Throughout MADAGASCAR SKIN, Newby delights in shocking us with graphic, grotesque images. Ugliness is everywhere: dead squid and fish squashed by car tires, a severed penis, and worms feasting on a decaying body.  I'm not squeamish -- I sat through *the* scene in CLEAN, SHAVEN -- but this caused me to wince.
Often, there's a warped, dream-like quality to the way Newby presents the visuals, causing us to wonder whether the entire narrative is Harry's nightmare. If it's not, there's no obvious reason why MADAGASCAR SKIN should be presented in such a pretentious, pseudo-arty manner unless the director is trying to demonstrate his "talent" as a film maker. This movie would have been better served if more energy had been invested in creating vital protagonists and telling a worthwhile story.
Although both Harry and Flint fail as characters, neither actor Bernard Hill nor John Hannah (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL) can be blamed. Both give solid, albeit wasted, performances, and I'm sure that several of the fleeting connections the audience makes with the pair is due entirely to good acting. It's a grim prospect to contemplate what MADAGASCAR SKIN would have been without them. In fact, it's not all that pleasant to consider what it is with them. This movie can get under your skin, but not in the way the film makers intended, and only if you stay awake.

NO WAY OUT A film review by Peter Reiher Copyright 1987 Peter Reiher
NO WAY OUT is a splendid example of how to make a good suspense film. It has a good plot, interesting atmosphere, first-rate acting, well-chosen cinematography, tense direction, and, best of all, intelligence. The elements are very nicely blended into what has to be one of the finest suspense films of the decade.
The key here is "suspense." NO WAY OUT isn't an action picture. It's a lot more like a classic Hitchcock film, with the strongly Hitchcockian plot of a trapped innocent in over his head to go along with it. The hero finds himself caught in a web of intrigue, and, true to the title, it does begin to look like there is no way out for him. He has to struggle with all his wits just to keep disaster from striking immediately, and has little time left to prevent the seemingly inexorable doom that is about to descend.
To avoid spoiling the effect of NO WAY OUT, I'll have to be rather vague about its plot and themes. NO WAY OUT concerns a US Navy officer who finds himself unwillingly entangled with Washington politicians in a battle to cut the funding on a huge military project. Personal factors further complicate matters, and the scheming of politicians eventually threatens his very life. Circumstances leave him without any room to move, about to be crushed in an impersonal juggernaut.
Kevin Costner plays the officer, giving his best performance to date. We can see him not only thinking of how to escape, we can see him trying to conceal his thoughts from those around him. Costner succeeds best in the most important aspect of his role. In order for the audience to become truly worried about his plight, the audience has to truly identify with him. Costner gives us a figure who deserves our sympathy. Costner's previous work has seemed almost like a prepartion for stardom, and this role, on top of his success in THE UNTOUCHABLES, may well do it for him.
Gene Hackman leads a fine supporting cast, giving his reliably solid performance as the Secretary of Defense. Credit goes to Hackman, and to Robert Garland, the screenwriter, for giving this character room to show complexities. A more typical filming of this story would have presented a figure cut from cardboard. This willingness to take the extra effort is representative of the film. All of the characters have the opportunity to show themselves as real people, rather than story-driven placeholders. Sean Young, George Dzunda, Howard Duff, and Iman all take advantage of this opportunity. The best of the supporting performances is that of Will Patton, as Hackman's fiercely loyal hatchetman. Patton's intensity is chilling. His performance as the underling who puts his patron's success above all else rings all too true.
Roger Donaldson, the director of NO WAY OUT, hasn't shown a very special talent before this film. A New Zealander, he previously directed SMASH PALACE, THE BOUNTY, and MARIE, putting in professional efforts on all of them, but demonstrating little more. Here, though, his direction is near perfect. Starting from a quiet pace more typical of a drama than a suspense film, Donaldson builds to hectic excitement by the end. He and cinematographer John Alcott have established a film in which the subtext is claustrophobia. The open, airy shots near the beginning of the film wind in to tighter and tighter compositions as Costner's situation becomes more and more desperate. The intent is to make the audience feel as trapped as Costner's character, and it works superbly. Alcott, in his last film, shows again that he was one of the masters of the camera, expressing a strong sense of being closed in without ever feeling static. The cinematography of NO WAY OUT does not permit him as much chance to display virtuosity as, say, BARRY LYNDON did, but Alcott well shows how a cinematographer can support a film without taking it over.
Another element of NO WAY OUT deserves special mention--the production design. The designer ably abets the claustrophobia built by Donaldson and Alcott. His sets, especially the Pentagon interiors that host most of the film's second half, are both accurate and appropriate. His Pentagon has very much the tacky and impermanent look of the real thing. He plays up the submarine-like qualities of the building, the long corridors without windows, the military-drab walls, the feeling that, despite being the largest building on earth, quarters are rather cramped. He also gives a feel for the odd topologies of the building, the interconnecting offices, the concentric ring construction, the unexpected facilities and occasional decorations.
NO WAY OUT is, on the whole, one of the best films released this year. It is both intelligent and entertaining, and has the additional advantage of topicality. Roger Donaldson crafts his film carefully, giving us a film about people in a suspenseful situation, rather than mere actors going through the paces. NO WAY OUT is a suspense film that Hitchcock would have appreciated, far more than any of Brian De Palma's ripoffs. One can but hope that audiences appreciate it, as well.

Thanks for downloading the 457th episode of The Ivy Envy Podcast. On this episode, we look back at the four bigger free agent signings the Cubs made before the 2016 season. We talk about Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler, John Lackey, and Jason Heyward. We look at their regular season and post-season performances and share who we think was the most valuable addition to the team.

The UNMS system is a solution to manage Ubiquiti infrastructure networks that allows us to monitor the entire network from remote means and also provides us the option of making collections or cuts on the internet line this need was born as a solution for wisp providers (wireless internet service provider (in English, wireless Internet service provider) gives us a large amount of data and allows us to update the software of the devices in real time
A field simulator that thanks to the one of geographical maps we allows real-time testing of wireless equipment to be able to give the best performance and to be able to locate them in the more geographically efficient

There are certain edge cases where Prism will fail. There are always such cases in every regex-based syntax highlighter. However, Prism dares to be open and honest about them. If a failure is listed here, it doesn’t mean it will never be fixed. This is more of a “known bugs” list, just with a certain type of bug.

Full Stack Developer
View ResumeMy educational background and technical experience peaked my interest in a career as a Software Engineer. I graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree, and attained basic programming knowledge by taking several programming courses. Also, I have completed two internships as an IT and as a Design Assurance Engineer in two different companies. I am a self-leaner, problem-solver and hard worker; qualities that can be beneficial when working on a team of Software Engineers. Keeping up with recent technologies, I have a interest in Blockchain technology, and its potential growth in the digital world.

All Classes Interface Summary Class Summary Enum Summary Class Description AbstractFilter AbstractHeightMap AbstractHeightMap
provides a base implementation of height data for terrain rendering.AssetTileLoader Basis Interface for - basically 3D - noise generation algorithms, based on the book: Texturing & Modeling - A Procedural Approach The main concept is to look at noise as a basis for generating fractals.BresenhamTerrainPicker It basically works by casting a pick ray against the bounding volumes of the TerrainQuad and its children, gathering all of the TerrainPatches hit (in distance order.) The triangles of each patch are then tested using the BresenhamYUpGridTracer to determine which triangles to test and in what order.BresenhamYUpGridTracer Works on the XZ plane, with positive Y as up.BresenhamYUpGridTracer.Direction CatRom2 Color Helper class for working with colors and gradientsCombinerHeightMap CombinerHeightMap
generates a new height map based on two provided height maps.DistanceLodCalculator Calculates the LOD of the terrain based on its distance from the cameras.EntropyComputeUtil Computes the entropy value δ (delta) for a given terrain block and LOD level.FaultHeightMap Creates a heightmap based on the fault algorithm.Filter FilteredBasis FluidSimHeightMap FluidSimHeightMap
generates a height map based using some sort of fluid simulation.Fractal Interface for a general fractal basis.FractalSum FractalSum is the simplest form of fractal functions summing up a few octaves of the noise value with an ever decreasing roughness (0 to 1) amplitude lacunarity = 2.0f is the classical octave distance Note: though noise basis functions are generally designed to return value between -1..1, there sum can easily be made to extend out of this range.FractalTileLoader GeoMap Constructs heightfields to be used in Terrain.HeightMap HeightMapGrid Deprecated. HillHeightMap HillHeightMap
generates a height map base on the Hill Algorithm.HydraulicErodeFilter ImageBasedHeightMap ImageBasedHeightMap
is a height map created from the grayscale conversion of an image.ImageTileLoader ImprovedNoise Perlin's default implementation of Improved Perlin Noise designed to work with Noise baseIterativeFilter LodCalculator Calculate the Level of Detail of a terrain patch based on the cameras, or other locations.LODGeomap Produces the mesh for the TerrainPatch.LodThreshold Calculates the LOD value based on where the camera is.LRUCache<K,V> An LRU cache, based onLinkedHashMap
.MidpointDisplacementHeightMap MidpointDisplacementHeightMap
generates a heightmap based on the midpoint displacement algorithm.Modulator MultiTerrainLodControl An extension of the TerrainLodControl that handles multiple terrains at once.Namer NeighbourFinder Used for TerrainQuad to find neighbours that are not part of the same quad tree.Noise Utility base class for Noise implementationsNoiseAggregator A simple aggregator basis.NoiseModulator NormalRecalcControl Handles the normal vector updates when the terrain changes heights.OptimizedErode ParticleDepositionHeightMap ParticleDepositionHeightMap
creates a heightmap based on the Particle Deposition algorithm based on Jason Shankel's paper from "Game Programming Gems".PerspectiveLodCalculator PerturbFilter ProgressMonitor Monitor the progress of an expensive terrain operation.RawHeightMap RawHeightMap
creates a height map from a RAW image file.ShaderUtils Helper class containing useful functions explained in the book: Texturing & Modeling - A Procedural ApproachSimpleLodThreshold Just multiplies the terrain patch size by 2.SmoothFilter Terrain Terrain can be one or many meshes comprising of a, probably large, piece of land.TerrainExecutorService The class to provide single executor service to run background tasks of terrain stuff.TerrainGrid TerrainGrid itself is an actual TerrainQuad.TerrainGridListener Notifies the user of grid change events, such as moving to new grid cells.TerrainGridLodControl Updates grid offsets and cell positions.TerrainGridTileLoader TerrainLodControl Tells the terrain to update its Level of Detail.TerrainPatch A terrain patch is a leaf in the terrain quad tree.TerrainPickData Pick result on a terrain patch with the intersection on the bounding box of that terrain patch.TerrainPicker Pick the location on the terrain from a given ray.TerrainQuad TerrainQuad is a heightfield-based terrain system.ThermalErodeFilter UpdatedTerrainPatch Stores a terrain patch's details so the LOD background thread can update the actual terrain patch back on the ogl thread.

The Wonderful People Behind the Site
Brandon Lewis
Hello, I'm Brandon. I'm twenty-one years old and a member of the 5th cohort of CSIT members at CSUMB. While I did have prior experience working with python before this project, I had never before worked with the Django web framework. While there were some hurtles to overcome I found the project fun and my teammates great to work with.
Lupe Alejo
Hi, I'm Lupe Alejo. I'm twenty-six years old and currently living in Addison, Texas. What I really enjoyed about the project was the process and the opportunity to work with my classmates. I am also grateful to be able to give back to my community in a creative and fun way. The whole process was a great learning experience for me and has allowed me to expand my knowledge in collaborating in a team and serving a diverse community.
Nathaniel Mauga
Hi, my name is Nathaniel Mauga. I’m twenty-four, male, and racially mixed with most parts Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Irish. This project has opened my eyes to the responsibility we have as software engineers to encourage equity amongst our communities. We have a unique position to be able to create and provide services and software to do this. After this project, I am especially driven to spread awareness of how technology can be used to support underrepresented minorities. I’m glad to have been a part of this project and to have been educated on the influence we can have on our communities.
