We're getting to that point where the rubber meets the road, and "technical difficulties" are coming to the forefront of your experience.
The things I'm asking you to do in this course are technically challenging, and I know there will be roadblocks and frustrations along the way.
Please for this assignment, post in Slack about an experience that has been frustrating for you so far in this course. For example, experiences with Blockbuilder, learning ES6, learning D3, getting something working, the General Update Pattern, or to do with the project. Just vent, on any frustrating experience you've had so far with this course.
Please post in Slack, and copy the text as the submission for this assignment in Canvas.
Don't be shy!


what i believe
I am a Christian!
My personal conviction would be that all would come to know the Gospel: Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah
of the Jewish scriptures and that his prophesied death and resurrection mean that he was indeed the Son of
God, who he claimed to be. The sins of mankind were judged on his dying body, and in believing
that Jesus is Lord, we can partake in eternal life in heaven, because the punishment of our sins
was taken by Jesus' sacrifice. Else, our sins will be judged at face value, and we will
receive the just outcome of sin, which is eternal suffering in Hell.
This may seem like a load of religious gibberish, but this is like reading the
abstract of a 100 page research paper. There are thousands of years of context and history that
come before Jesus. Every year, archeologists dig up more and more artifacts of Ancient Israel.
The age of the earliest manuscripts and the amount of internal consistency and accuracy of the Bible
put any similarly dated texts to great shame.

Very conservative about using any CPU, and
ensures that no one else is disrupted.
Note that this is VERY GENEROUS - if all
CPUs are taken, DummyMP will wait until
there are available CPUs! (All other modes
will run a single process, regardless of
CPU usage.) This is the slowest mode!

done. This is faster than GENEROUS, but it
isn't the fastest. This mode is the
default and is recommended for most
conditions.

This mode considers other users, but it
may spawn processes anyway depending on
how other processes behave. This is faster
than NORMAL, and is recommended for
semi-important conditions.
DUMMYMP_EXTREME - Extreme mode.
This mode somewhat considers other users,
but unless the other processes are using a
significant portion of the CPU, it will
spawn processes anyway. This is faster
than AGGRESSIVE, and is recommended for

DUMMYMP_NUCLEAR - Nuclear mode.
This mode does NOT consider other users,

allow (total number of cores). This is

My Best Literary Work
The Lake by Vinay Senthil
Everything was quiet in the forest. Although a misty fog had rolled in the early hours of the morning, the sky was full of streaks of clouds in the strata high above, and the air was tense with an eerie stillness. Suddenly, a shrill scream shattered the peaceful atmosphere. A door slammed shut. Twigs and dried leaves crackled like firecrackers as a man jumped off a porch and crashed clumsily through the forest. The man ran blindly, pushing off trees, trying to run a away from something.
As the man burst out into a clearing, his foot caught a log and he tumbled down the bank. The man slid face first down the slope and laid there, wanting it to be the end. But it wasn’t time. A cool hand glided past the fresh cut on his face and down his chest. Cold waves lapped him back to his senses. Confused, he looked up. The lake. It was closer than he remembered. The man groaned as he pushed himself up. He dragged his feet in the water as he brought himself to his knees. The water was so clear that he could see his reflection: A blurry disheveled man in his late twenties wearing a previously white collared shirt that was now ruined with splotches of red and matched his bloodshot eyes. He tried to wash his hands of the blood but it wouldn’t leave like a permanent reminder of the past.
He looked left and saw the pier where he and his father had gone fishing when he was a young boy. The man walked to the edge of the pier and sat down with his legs hanging in the refreshing water. The light breeze surfed over the water and glided through his hair. He pulled out a sheathed knife that was dripping in blood from his pocket and flung it as hard as he could into the the lake - its purpose served. But for some reason its weight still remained. The sounds of the splash faded into the trees that surrounded the lake. Then the ripples smoothed on the water. And then, after a long while, life returned to the lake. The first hesitant bird's song, minnow's rings, a water snake looking for... something. Some life returned, but not all. For the first time in days he felt peace and calm. He closed his eyes and the memories rushed in.
Just two days ago, he was having the best time of his life with his newly wedded wife. He had taken her to his summer home in the mountains for a vacation. She was so good, so perfect. Then why? That was the void that was poisoning his soul and driving him to insanity. “Why did she do this to me!”, he screamed silently. “No, it wasn’t her fault. It was me”, he thought. A stinging flashback replayed in his head - he had said he would be out for the night drinking with friends but had come home before dawn, earlier than usual, and found another man making love with his wife. His rage and the feeling of betrayal fueled the next few moments and then it was over… She had begged him to stop but he couldn’t. Who could blame him? He sat there sullenly wondering if things could have been different. What if this wasn’t the first time? What if…? He shook his head. Life is too short to ponder about these dilemmas and hindsight makes everything look simple.
A sunrise peeked its glowing head over the distant horizon of the lake.  All he could see was the bright orange sky and the wispy, cotton clouds below him, and for one brief moment he forgot what he had done and felt as though he was rocketing upwards into this beautiful sky.
He leaned back and let out a deep sigh, his warm breath condensed in the chill air like a dragon. He smiled, forgetting the moments of the morning. Somewhere in the hills behind him, he could hear sirens growing gradually louder. His wife probably called the cops. The smile quickly warped into his previous mask of hopelessness. His break from reality was over. The man trudged back up the shore of the lake. Before entering the forest, he looked back and took in his last look at the beautiful lake before disappearing into the shadows.
This essay was really fun to write because there was no set writing. As a creative writing exercise, Ms. Harlin told us that we could write about any topic. I chose the one about writing about a murder scene. It was a genre that I've never tackled before and it was really cool to make a story rather than an essay.

Introduction - The main window - The preview window - The edit window - The properties window Credits - What's new - Remarks - Contact |
The editor supports full editing of all of the game's courses, including demo courses and unused test courses which are only present in the Japanese version. In addition, background and music selections can be changed in order to fully customize courses. Individual courses can be saved to standalone files for easy distribution, and sample levels are included to demonstrate some of the editor's capabilities.
The editor supports US, European, and Japanese ROMs, both with or without copier headers. Special Tee Shot support is currently planned for future versions, but is not yet implemented due to numerous differences between the two games in how level and graphics data are organized.
Source code is available on GitHub, and is distributed under the MIT license.
(top)
The main window is where all level editing takes place. When you load a ROM, level data is shown from a top-down perspective. Levels are composed of tiles, each one having a terrain type and an optional obstacle or enemy, as well as optional "bumpers" to the north, east, south, and west.
Each tile displays its current height in the corner. Hovering over a tile with the mouse will also display its current terrain and obstacle values (in hexadecimal), which are also displayed in more detail on the window's status bar.
Clicking and dragging will select a tile or range of tiles, which you can then edit by double-clicking, selecting the "Edit Tiles" option on the Edit menu or toolbar, or pressing the "E" key. This will bring up the edit window, allowing you to modify the properties of the selected tiles. To deselect tiles, right-click anywhere within the level view.
To change levels, click the "course select" option on the Level menu or the toolbar. Use the "previous/next course/level" options to move back/forward one course or hole at a time, or hold Ctrl and use the left/right arrow keys (holding Shift at the same time will move by entire courses).
(top)
The preview window appears alongside the main menu and shows what the current level will look like in game. This window displays the isometric tile maps which the editor generates and the game displays, so what you see here is exactly what you get in game.
By default, the view in the preview window will automatically center on any tile that you move the mouse over in the main window, allowing you to view what you're editing without having to manually scroll the window. You can enable or disable this feature by selecting "Center Preview" in the Level menu or on the toolbar. Selecting "Show Preview" will redisplay the window if it is ever closed.
Note that the preview window does not account for palette changes, due to using pre-made graphics rather than loading them from the ROM (mostly due to laziness). This may change in future versions.
(top)
This is the window which appears when you double-click a selection of tiles or select the "Edit Tiles" menu option. From here, you can edit the terrain and obstacle values of a tile or tiles, increase/decrease tiles' height, add side bumpers, and select whether to display the tile's graphics on layer 1 or layer 2.
Note that most enemies can only be placed on slopes facing east or south. Placing enemies on other slopes will cause them to be invisible in game and can cause the game to lock up.
A good example of the difference between inner and outer slopes can be seen on 1P Course 2-1 in the original game; the "outer" slopes are used for the corners of the level, while the "inner" slopes are used in the sunken area in the center.
If you are editing a range of tiles with multiple terrain types, the dropdown will default to a value of "(multiple)". This option causes each tile's existing terrain value to remain the same.
If you are editing tiles which use one of the sloped terrain types, the height value must be at least 1. This is because all of the slope types start at the given height value and slope down to 1 unit lower.
If you are editing a range of tiles with multiple height values, the slider will be labeled "Raise/Lower", and will allow you to raise or lower the selection by a relative amount.
A few things you should keep in mind when placing obstacles:
If you are editing a range of tiles with multiple obstacle types, the dropdown will default to a value of "(multiple)", just like the terrain dropdown.
These checkboxes only cover bumpers which span the very edges of tiles. For horizontal, vertical, and diagonal bumpers which pass through the centers of tiles, use the obstacle dropdown.
Also note that, due to the way the editor generates tile maps, there will be some situations in which the appearance of bumpers will not be 100% consistent with the way they appear in the original game. This is a purely cosmetic issue and is typically not very noticeable.
If you are editing a range of tiles with multiple bumper on/off values in any direction, the respective checkbox will have a value of "partially checked". This value will cause all selected tiles to retain their existing settings for that individual bumper.
1P course 7-1 using only layer 1 |
1P course 7-1 using layers 1 and 2 |
Note that Kirby is always drawn in front of layer 2, except when above empty space (i.e. if Kirby is immediately capable of going out of bounds), where Kirby can be between layers 1 and 2, or behind both layers.
Another word of warning: when putting tiles on layer 2, any non-sprite obstacles will be drawn on layer 1, with the priority bit set so that they still appear on top of the terrain. Putting obstacles on layer 1 like this can cause visual issues with any layer 1 terrain which is close by on-screen, so use caution when putting obstacles on layer 2 tiles if they are also close to layer 1 tiles.
In rare cases, you might place combinations of terrain which don't occur in the original levels, and thus don't have appropriate graphics available. If this happens, you can place one or more of the offending tiles on layer 2, causing them to be drawn separately instead of "connected" to adjacent terrain. One use for this is the ability to place diagonal slopes next to walls:
Diagonal slopes on layer 1 |
Diagonal slopes on layer 2 |
If you are editing a range of tiles which use both layers, the "Keep" radio button will be selected by default. As with the other editing controls, this option causes the selected tiles' layer settings to be left alone.
(top)
The properties window allows you to customize some details of both the current course and the specific hole you are editing.
Note that, as the text in the screenshot says, changing a course's background always effects multiple courses. For example, if you change 1P Course 1's background, the same change will be applied to 1P Extra 1, 2P Course 1, and 2P Extra 1.
Palettes, unlike backgrounds, only affect the current course. The editor allows you to choose palettes for both the ground and the water hazards. Normally, water hazards use the same-numbered palette as the ground, but different combinations are also possible.
Kirby's Dream Course normally uses the same music tracks for several holes in a row, but that kind of consistency isn't actually a requirement - you can just as easily use 8 different music tracks in one course if you want to.
Note that, because the Japanese version's intro sequence was removed from the US/European versions, its music track is only usable in the Japanese version.
The level length and width boxes allow you to resize the level (length = north to south, width = east to west). Due to memory restrictions, the two-dimensional area of a level cannot be greater than 2,048; all of the original levels are much smaller in area than this, so this limitation is not likely to be much of a problem.
Note that the isometric tilemaps are also limited in size; their size is determined by the length, width, and height of the level, as well as how much (or how little) of the level is empty space. Once again, the limit here is much higher than what any of the original levels reach, so this should only present a problem if you are making unusually large levels that come close to the length/width limits. In the event that this actually happens, you will be presented with a warning when saving your ROM, and part of your level will not be visible in game.

At some point while messing around with Kirby Bowl, I stumbled upon the game's decompression routine, rewrote it in the form of a small tool called "exhal", and began exploring the game's data. Most of it quickly became clear, and I set out to write a document on the level format used by the game.
Around that time, I semi-publically announced my intention to write an editor, and by chance I found video footage on Nico Nico Douga of a Japanese hacker's custom Kirby Bowl levels, and was later given a link to their editor, "KBE". While the original editor was a bit lacking in the interface department, this obscure tool and the hacked Kirby Bowl videos proved that there was an audience for this sort of thing, and I resolved to make a more accessible alternative.
A couple of months later, delayed by my acquiring a full-time job, I had a rudimentary level editor put together. It still needed to generate the pre-made isometric tile maps that the game actually displayed, so I set out opening up dozens of save states and punching in what ended up as just a little bit under 3,500 lines of raw tile data, eight tiles per line. The lack of a clear-cut pattern in the way the game's graphics were organized, along with some annoying properties of the visual perspective, made this a monstrously tedious affair.
Nevertheless, it was eventually done, and after patching up some quirks in the tile map generation code, the editor was finally almost ready for prime time. About two months of testing and user feedback later (and several more months of laziness), and version 1.00 is finally here.
At this point, I'm probably going to take a break to work on something else (or nothing at all), but comments, etc., will always be welcome.
Special Tee Shot support is still in the cards, but it'll be a lot more tedious tile-wrangling before that happens "for real".
Oh, and as the old text readme mentioned, this is my first real GUI application ever. I'm sorry that it doesn't look very good. (I'm also sorry that the download for the Windows build is so much larger than before, as I updated to Qt 5 but didn't ever have time to build smaller Qt DLLs with fewer dependencies. At least you can delete the Qt 4 DLLs from previous versions.)

Here's the line-up for this week's Late Late Show
by Ciara WalshThe Late Late Show is back with a stellar line-up this week.
Tomorrow evening's show is set to be jam-packed, kicking off this week with Westlife, who will be performing a number of songs, including new single My Blood, as well as chatting to Ryan about their pop career and amazing comeback.
Earlier this week, The Late Late Show was on the lookout for Westlife fans to join the boyband in the studio audience.
Over 10,000 fans applied for the chance to be a part of The Late Late Show audience following the call-out for their most devoted followers.
The exciting news comes after Tubs confirmed Westlife would lead this week's line-up at the end of last week's show.
Also joining them will be legendary singer Christy Moore to celebrate and reflect on 50 years in the business, and to perform some of his most beloved songs.
Ahead of stepping down from his role as Ireland rugby coach next week, Joe Schmidt will join Ryan to look back on his time with the team, as well as to discuss what went wrong for Ireland in Japan.
Iconic newscaster Trevor McDonald also joins Tubs to talk about interviewing some of the most famous people in the world, from beloved statesmen like Nelson Mandela, to sitting down opposite dictators like Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi.
Trevor will also be sharing how he went from growing up on a small Carribean island to becoming the definitive face of the news for a generation.
And finally, to celebrate 20 years of Gift Grub, Mario Rosenstock will be bringing some of his best-known characters to life.
The Late Late Show airs Friday's at 9.35 pm on RTE One.

We realize that Java is not for everyone, which is why we provide the Nexway Library (sometimes referred to in this document simply as NexwayLib). The Nexway library is a simple C-style library shell around our Java classes. You'll still need Java installed on your system, but you can write your Usbor applications in C, C++, or Visual Basic.
The NexwayLib API provides basic C functions that mirror those provided by our Java API. If you look at both API's, you'll notice that the NexwayLib API is actually a subset of the functionality provided by our Java API. We've tried to provide enough features to satisfy the needs of our users, but the NexwayLib API is not intended to be used as the basis for large, graphical application. New features may be added if the need becomes evident and time allows.
$HOME/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework
, where $HOME
is the current user's home directory. /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework
$HOME/java
, where $HOME
is the current user's home directory. /usr/java
. #include "rbxNexwayLib.h"
, which is located in the 'include' directory of this software package. Usually, you'll want to specify the Robix include directory in your project's "Additional Include Directories".
(Windows) C:\Program Files\Robix\Usbor\include
(Mac OSX) /Applications/Robix/Usbor/include
(Linux) /opt/Robix/Usbor/include
The NexwayLib header file contains an inline function which dynamically loads the Nexway library and assigns function pointers at runtime. Therefore, it is not necessary to change any of your project's linker settings.
Important: #define RBX_MAIN needed once
Your application may contain many source code files, and you may need to #include "rbxNexwayLib.h"
in more than one of your source code files. Regardless of the number of files which include the NexwayLib header file, one and only one source code file must #define RBX_MAIN
before including rbxNexwayLib.h--preferably the main source code file. This is necessary to prevent redeclaration of function pointers.
#define RBX_MAIN
#include "rbxNexwayLib.h"
#include "rbxNexwayLib.h"
#define RBX_MAIN
#include "rbxNexwayLib.h"
#define RBX_MAIN
, you might receive an error like this: Error: Unresolved signal: [library function name]
If you #define RBX_MAIN
more than once, you might receive an error like this:
Error: Multiple declaration of: [library function name]
Important: rbxInitNexwayLib() must be called first
Applications must call rbxInitNexwayLib() before calling any other functions in the Nexway library. This function dynamically loads the library, sets up function pointers, and invokes the JVM.
Most users will usually call the simplified rbxInitNexwayLib() function (which in turn calls rbxInitNexwayLibEx(), specifying NULL
for the libPath
and jarPath
parameters). The inline function rbxInitNexwayLibEx() tries to load the Nexway library and the Usbor JAR according to the following rules:
libPath
is not NULL
, the specified path is tried. If an error occurs, the function immediately returns an error code. libPath
is NULL
, the the following directories are searched for the library (in the order shown here): $USBOR_HOME/lib
where $USBOR_HOME
is the value of the environment variable USBOR_HOME
(if present). RBX_USBOR_INSTALL_DIR/lib
where RBX_USBOR_INSTALL_DIR
is a hard-coded string defined in rbxNexwayLib.h (and rbxNexwayLib.bas for VB). Note that RBX_USBOR_INSTALL_DIR is not automatically set by the installer program, so you may need to edit rbxNexwayLib.h and/or rbxNexwayLib.bas if you did not install the Usbor Software to the default location. jarPath
is not NULL
, the specified path is tried. If an error occurs, the function immediately returns an error code. jarPath
is NULL
, the directories listed above are searched for the JAR file.
The Nexus is a stand-alone application which communicates directly with Usbor devices through USB. The Nexus then provides access to the Usbors via TCP/IP connections.
A Nexway is, as the name implies, a "gateway to the Nexus". A Nexway establishes a TCP/IP connection to the Nexus in order to control Pods.
In many respects, a Nexway-Nexus connection can be viewed as a client-server relationship. A single Nexus (server) can accept connections from many Nexways (clients). A single Nexway may connect to several Nexi (plural of Nexus) simultaneously. A single computer can host only one Nexus but many Nexways.
Nexway | '---NexusConnection* | '---Usbor* | '---Pod* | '---Servo* '---Digout* '---Sensor* * zero or more
These steps are illustrated in the example programs which accompany the Usbor software.
It is important to understand that Pod commands (rbxPod_assignMainScript(), rbxPod_runMainMacro(), #rbsPod_stopScript(), etc.) are executed asynchronously and may even be queued if the Pod is busy.
For example, when you call rbxPod_runQuickScript(), the method does not wait for the script to execute--the method returns immediately, and the script will run "later". When is "later"? It depends. If you are connected to a Nexus on your local computer, a message may travel so quickly that it appears instantaneous. On the other hand, if you are connected to a Nexus that is on the other side of the globe, it may be some time before your script reaches its destination. It is not the intent of this API (nor the Usbor software system) to provide time-critical Pod control. Rather, we provide a more "relaxed" approach to control and sensory observation.
int
, and should be treated as opaque, i.e. the int
value has no special meaning except as a look-up value used by the Nexway library.You can see how object referencing differs between our Java API and our NexwayLib API in the following snippits of code. Both examples perform exactly the same operation. (Error-checking has been omitted for simplicity.)
NexusConnection newNexus;
newNexus = Nexway.createNexusConnection( "localhost" );
newNexus.connect();
int newNexusHandle;
rbxNexway_createNexusConnection( "localhost", &newNexusHandle );
rbxNexus_connect( newNexusHandle );
Certain error codes are generic and may be returned by any NexwayLib function (even if the doc does not explictly say so).
Generic error codes include:
Other error codes are more specific to certain functions. The docs for individual functions describe when/if they return any specialized error codes. For an example, see #rbxNexus_connect().
"Error connecting to Nexus. Error Code: RBX_2003"
Fetching a string typically requires the following steps:
To get the length of a string, call the string-fetching function with NULL
as the buffer parameter and 0
(zero) as the buffer size. The function will return RBX_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and the retLen
parameter will contain the required buffer size (including the null-terminator).
int siz;
// get size of Nexway name
if ( rbxNexway_getName( NULL, 0, &siz )
== RBX_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL )
{
// allocate space for Nexway name
char* nexwayName = (char*)malloc( siz );
if ( nexwayName )
{
// fetch Nexway name
if ( rbxNexway_getName( nexwayName, siz, NULL )
== RBX_E_SUCCESS )
{
printf( "Got Nexway name: %s", nexwayName );
}
free( nexwayName );
}
}
maxLen
, which is less than the required buffer size, your buffer will receive maxLen
characters (including a null-terminator), and the function will return RBX_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. This behavior allows you to detect when your buffer is too small, and it also allows you to gracefully fetch a truncated string if you desire.

James Martin shows us to how to make this takeaway classic at home. Great for sharing, try serving it on a platter for people to help themselves.
Preheat the oven to 210C/410F/Gas 7.
For the crispy duck, place the duck, skin side up, onto a rack over a roasting tray and pierce the skin all over with a knife.
Boil a kettle and pour the boiling water over the duck skin, discarding the water. Pat the duck dry, using kitchen paper, then rub salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, over the skin.
Transfer to the oven to roast for 1-1¼ hours, or until crisp and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Shred the duck into fine pieces using two forks.
For the chilli plum sauce, heat the olive oil in lidded pan and fry the spring onions and chillies for 1-2 minutes, or until softened. Add the spices and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the plums, vinegar and sugar and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering, cover with a lid and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the plums are tender. Set the plums aside to cool
Remove the cinnamon stick and blend the mixture to a purée in a food processor. Strain the purée through a sieve into a bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Meanwhile, for the pancakes, place the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the boiling water and stir to form a dough. Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.
Cut the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a thin pancake.
Heat a frying pan until hot and fry each pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pale golden-brown. Keep the pancakes warm until ready to serve.
To serve, place the shredded duck onto a large serving plate and place spring onion and chillies alongside. Place the pancakes onto a separate serving plate and serve the plum sauce alongside.

All the best Black Friday deals on phones, smart home tech, and more — so far (Update: So many more deals)
by Taylor Kerns
Black Friday is barreling toward us like a freight train. Thankfully, retailers are kind enough to warn us about many of the deals they intend to run ahead of time, which helps us help you make the best possible holiday shopping decisions. Here, for your convenience, we've rounded up all the best deals we've spotted in advance.
Discounts are shown as reported by their retailer. Most deals go live on Thanksgiving (the 28th) or Black Friday (the 29th), but some will be available earlier. Walmart's deals, for example, start at 10 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, November 27. Google's got a few starting on Sunday, November 24. We've marked each deal with its start date. If you see one without a date, that means we don't know when it'll be available.
If you're on the hunt for something specific, go ahead and ctrl + F that sucker, because this list is a doozy. Otherwise, feel free to use the handy red article contents menu to skip around, or just browse at your leisure. Happy shopping.

github is pretty new to me actually
SHossain15-Apr-19 02:13 PM
once you submit the PR, start all daemon with same pubkey. then, import private key if you haven't yet in all daemon. then, fund all addresses and follow the testnet repo guide

Not sure what might went wrong - maybe you have some typo in your command
I mean actual command which you input to terminal.
git config --global user.name "John Doe" this one looks correct
Dr.Terminus15-Apr-19 02:44 PM
yeah
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴15-Apr-19 02:44 PM

Been looking back through the posts and I'm not sure if people are saying that ./m_notary_testnet "" notary_nosplit works or not, or if you have to edit m_notary_testnet to add that command manually or if it's not possible to tell iguana to disable autosplitting. I've got lukechilds notary node utils to keep my UTXO's under control, just wondered if there is anyway to disable autosplitting ?

Lumbi15-Apr-19 04:18 PM
...showing a 0 balance on my wallet. what are the resync commands & procedures (i.e. sending to myself with a 0 balance)?
phm8715-Apr-19 04:18 PM
Are you using the wallet filter ? Did you import the private key without rescan (i.e. with a false at the end) ?
Lumbi15-Apr-19 04:19 PM
yes privkey is imported
phm8715-Apr-19 04:19 PM
if you import it with false (meaning without rescan), it is normal that you don't see balance
at this point, one old NN operator suggested me, beofre recreating new wallet.dat, to move the funds of each wallet to another address/wallet then after I create the new wallet.dat and import private key, to make a tx to put the funds back
another solution that I use : I am running 2 nodes per coin (KMD and each AC) that remain on the old wallet, from this old wallet I can do a tx
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴15-Apr-19 04:21 PM
if you imported with false, you will not see it until you send it to yourself from another node
because "false" = "do not scan to see if I have a balance"
phm8715-Apr-19 04:22 PM
yes but if he is using the walletfilter, he should use `-whitelistaddress`
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴15-Apr-19 04:23 PM
agreed, but 2 separate things
Lumbi15-Apr-19 04:23 PM
sending 0 to myself = le error
phm8715-Apr-19 04:23 PM
yes
yeah it is normal
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴15-Apr-19 04:24 PM

phm8715-Apr-19 04:26 PM
@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 I read that it may be possible to rescan only some blocks (rescan 1000 blocks as example), does it exist ?
@Lumbi if you create another node with the old wallet.dat (or if you import priv key with true but it will be slow, very slow) you'll see your balance

Dr.Terminus15-Apr-19 04:27 PM
am i supposed to have pubkey.txt in komodo/src folder as well as 2019nntestnet/iguana?
once I've added that pubkey.txt need to push t git again / another pull request ?
phm8715-Apr-19 04:28 PM
@Lumbi very slow meaning few minutes to hours. Please do the importprivkey in a screen (then you'll be able to ctrl A, D the screen without shutting it down and go to shopping while it imports the key with rescan)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴15-Apr-19 04:29 PM
in komodo/src folder as well as 2019nntestnet/iguana?

PSALMS 59
A psalm written by David for the choir director, when Saul, wanting to kill David, sent men to watch David's house.
1 God, save me from my enemies!
Protect me from those who want to attack me!
2 Keep me safe from men who want to do what is wicked,
from men who are murderers!
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me!
Fierce men have gathered to assault me.
Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
4 It is not because I have committed any sin against them
that they run and get ready to attack me. Please look at my situation and help me.
5 Yahweh my God, Commander of the angel armies, the one we Israelites worship,
arise and punish the people of all the nations who do not honor you;
do not act mercifully toward those wicked people who have acted treacherously toward us.
6 They return each evening,
snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl around this city.
7 They loudly say terrible things;
they say things that destroy as much as swords do,
because they are saying, "No one will hear us!"
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them.

Instead, Lord, you who are like a shield that protects us,
scatter them by your power, and then defeat them.
12 Because what they say is sinful,
allow them to be trapped for being proud.
Because they are always cursing and telling lies,
13 because you are angry, get rid of them;
destroy them completely
so that people will know that you rule over us, your Israelite people,
and that you rule over all the earth.
14 My enemies return each evening,
snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl around this city.
15 They roam around, searching for food;
and if they do not find enough, they growl like dogs.
16 But as for me, I will sing about your power;
every morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving us.

Average Cat Owner Takes 7 Photos Of Their Cats Every Day, Study Finds
by Cameron FrewDo it for the gram: according to a new study, the average cat owner takes seven photos of their cat every day.
While I may not have a cat, I do have a dog – and if you ever happen to take a glance at my Instagram, you’ll see plenty of a Springer Spaniel called Whisky.
It’s just too hard to resist.
The study, carried out by OnePoll on behalf of Fresh Step litter, looked at 1,000 cat owners and how they behave with their feline pals.
OnePoll found, as well as people taking plenty of photos, 41% of the cat owners were proud to have a framed picture of their pet in their home.
As part of the research, the average cat owner spends 1,016 hours with their cat every year, equating to just under three hours per day and 20 hours a week.
It’s fairly unsurprising then that 84% of respondents said they see their pet as a member of the family, with many saying they often buy their cats gifts.
Your pet is your best friend, they’re always there for you. The study proves this further: 60% of the cat owners polled said their cats are loyal and 59% said they like to snuggle up to them – despite the claim cats are less friendly.
Around three quarters of respondents said they talk to their cats and use them as a form of therapy, with 66% saying they would rather chill out with their pets than humans.
Fresh Step litter set up the poll for National Cat Day on October 29, with hopes that the results would show how much cats to offer to people looking for a pet.
Lauren May, associate director of Clorox Pet Products, said in a statement via People:
Millions of cats enter shelters each year yet less than half get adopted. We understand how rewarding it is to have cats in our lives which is why Fresh Step is on a mission to help every shelter cat find a forever home.
Through shelter partnership programs, we have donated millions of dollars and more than six million scoops of litter to help shelter cats get adopted.
This just gave me the perfect excuse to share some fresh pictures of my dog.
After graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University with an NCTJ and BCTJ-accredited Multimedia Journalism degree, Cameron ventured into the world of print journalism at The National, while also working as a freelance film journalist on the side, becoming an accredited Rotten Tomatoes critic in the process. He’s now left his Scottish homelands and took up residence at UNILAD as a journalist.


Create an accessible version of the YouView UI, taking into account various sight-related disabilities to make the platform easy to use by all. Partly powered by the BBC, there are strict guidlines that have to be adhert too to ensure support from the BBC Trust
YouView TV Ltd
2018-2020
Product Designer
The goal of the YouView High Contrast Mode was to enable users with a wide range of visual issues to be able to use the YouView product at the same level as people with no visual problems. As the BBC was a founding member of the YouView product, it is essential that the company followed the BBC Trust guidelines for accessibility. With this in mind, the approach to acceptance criteria for the YouView High Contrast mode was much higher than it would be at other companies. My experience working on the accessibility mode of the previous YouView UI made me a prime candidate to lead the project and I took it on with the goal of making a great user experience.
We took the initial research from previous accessibility work as a starting point for this new
project. In the previous YouView design, the team worked very closely with partially sighted
users for a constant stream of feedback and
we continued this process we moved towards the next phase of the user interface. As a team, we
were also in constant communication with two of the UK’s biggest disability charities the RNIB
and SCOPE to give us an insight into
the challenges that people with disabilities face in day to day life.
A big part of our research came in the way of using a toolkit from the University of
Cambridge which allowed the product design team to simulate mild vision loss. This toolkit
consisted of glasses which replicated acuity
and contrast loss. These glasses could then be stacked up on top of each other to analyse how
different level of eyesight issues will affect the ability to see and interact with the product
We also spent time conducting competitive research in both the TV industry and wider,
trying to get a sense of where the competition put their focus on helping disabled customers. By
looking at rivals we could see where
the gap in the market stood and how we could use our expertise to create a bespoke experience
that solved the brief and created the best solutions
One of the main challenges in creating a UI based around accessibility is the need to remove any gradient that could obscure text. This was reported by both charities as the main reason why partially sighted users will struggle with the experience. With this in mind we had to explore how to approach the design in regard to this, comparing the removal of the gradient with the idea of shifting it further on the screen Comparing different concepts for the tile asset Another challenge was the highlight state for the sections of the UI. After User Research and testing it led to having a few ideas, most of which consisted of a solid highlight state. These versions were then presented to both charities and a number of the user-base with eyesight issues. Feedback taught us that solid bright highlight states were actually worse for the user as it caused a bleeding halo-like effect which did not increase visibility at all and rendered nearby text completely unreadable.
We wanted to present two concepts that worked to solve the original brief. Using the evidence
and information we gathered from our user-research as well as our deep look at the competition
we presented two different concepts to stakeholders. Both had
gone through vigorous prototyping and testing in the team and we were looking for final feedback
before we took the project into our agile backlog.
The feedback we received from our concepts shaped the final stages of design and
altered some of our directions as we moved into development. We were given the green light to
progress with the black version of the UI
and started to create assets and specifications for the developers
As we took the design to its later stages we wanted to ensure that
the YouView UI kept its delightful little touches that made it such an attractive design in the
first place for customers.
I ensured that these touches remained even when the user wanted the High Contrast option
turned on.
The final high contrast version incorporated the client feedback and we made adjustments to the highlight state to increase the contrast levels of text. Shown below is a range of the final visual design implemented by our development team, as well as a way to compare the high contrast UI with the standard version.
