Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into “dumb” templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the “smart” domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.
In Rails, the model is handled by what’s called an object-relational mapping layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic methods. You can read more about Active Record in files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
<tt>rails new myapp</tt> (where <tt>myapp</tt> is the application name)
Change directory to myapp
and start the web server:
<tt>cd myapp; rails server</tt> (run with --help for options)
Go to localhost:3000/ and you’ll see:
"Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
the following resources handy:
The Getting Started Guide: guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
Ruby on Rails Tutorial Book: www.railstutorial.org/
Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
First area to check is the application log files. Have “tail -f” commands running on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display debugging and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be shown in the browser on requests from <IP_ADDRESS>.
You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code using the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base def destroy @weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id]) @weblog.destroy logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!") end end
The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1!
More information on how to use the logger is at www.ruby-doc.org/core/
Also, Ruby documentation can be found at www.ruby-lang.org/. There are several books available online as well:
Programming Ruby: www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (Pickaxe)
Learn to Program: pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on programming in general.
Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start
your Mongrel or WEBrick server with –debugger. This means that you can
break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate and change the
model, and then, resume execution! You need to install ruby-debug to run
the server in debugging mode. With gems, use sudo gem install
ruby-debug
. Example:
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base def index @posts = Post.all debugger end end
So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
>> @posts.inspect => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>, #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={"title"=>"Rails", "body"=>"Only ten..", "id"=>"2"}>]" >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger" => "hello from a debugger"
…and even better, you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
>> f = @posts.first => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}> >> f. Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
Finally, when you’re ready to resume execution, you can enter “cont”.
The console is a Ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your application’s domain model. Here you’ll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
To start the console, run rails console
from the application
directory.
Options:
Passing the -s, --sandbox
argument will rollback any
modifications made to the database.
Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding
environment. Example: rails console production
.
To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run
reload!
More information about irb can be found at: http://www.rubycentral.org/pickaxe/irb.html
You can go to the command line of your database directly through
rails dbconsole
. You would be connected to the database with
the credentials defined in database.yml. Starting the script without
arguments will connect you to the development database. Passing an argument
will connect you to a different database, like rails dbconsole
production
. Currently works for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite 3.
The default directory structure of a generated Ruby on Rails application:
|-- app | |-- assets | |-- images | |-- javascripts | `-- stylesheets | |-- controllers | |-- helpers | |-- mailers | |-- models | `-- views | `-- layouts |-- config | |-- environments | |-- initializers | `-- locales |-- db |-- doc |-- lib | `-- tasks |-- log |-- public |-- script |-- test | |-- fixtures | |-- functional | |-- integration | |-- performance | `-- unit |-- tmp | |-- cache | |-- pids | |-- sessions | `-- sockets `-- vendor |-- assets `-- stylesheets `-- plugins
app
Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
app/assets
Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
app/controllers
Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
app/models
Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from ActiveRecord::Base by default.
app/views
Holds the template files for the view that should be named like weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use eRuby syntax by default.
app/views/layouts
Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb. Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this layout.
app/helpers
Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers. Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
config
Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database, and other dependencies.
db
Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the sequence of Migrations for your schema.
doc
This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
lib
Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in the load path.
public
The directory available for the web server. Also contains the dispatchers and the default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web server.
script
Helper scripts for automation and generation.
test
Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this directory.
vendor
External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins subdirectory. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.


When resizeColumnsToContent is called, the grid will scan the currently rendered DOM elements to determine the maximum and minimum widths of the content of each cell and then resize the columns of the grid to ensure that all content fits.

On January 18th 2014, Google Japan and community of Web Music Developers JP had a Hackathon. And AMEI(Associatin of Musical Electronics Industory) is a supponsor of this event.
This is a second time event, the first one was held on Octobe 19th 2013.
The event attendees are over 30, and they invented about 20 applications within one day. The end of this event we had presentation time of their applications. Those application is really unique and having a plenty of variety. For example, corroboration of audio and light, acoustic MIDI Controller(Can), corroborate with Twitter, corroborate with Google Docs Spread Sheet. I think this hackathon gave us the chance to realize that how much are Web Audio/MIDI API having a high potential to express things.
In this blog, I introduce how did beginners(beginners of Web Audio/MIDI API) invent applications. Other applications are introduced in Google agektmr’s blog.
In that day, I have provided tutorials(Web Audio/MIDI API) to learn how to invent applications with using method in the Web Audio/MIDI API. Some attendees had finished the tutorials in 2 hours, and some people had started inventing application without to finish following tutorials.
Let’s see the applications from begginers!! (the images are linked to YouTube movie which is specified starting point)
The draw bar organ which was invented by @kenkov. He had invented its tone generator, and musical keyboard parts are invented with using webaudio-controls.
The next one is an application that using motion censor to play his original MIDIappy’s voice by following the PC’s motion. It was fun, because the MIDIappy’s voice is so cute.
These applications are invented beginners who learned APIs from tutorial in a few hours. From this fact, I think it is not too much to say that using these APIs are NOT so difficult.
If you are interested in these API’s, I want you to challenge to invent applications.
Topics from here is NOT beginners.
The first one is invent application using hardware beyond the browser’s functionality.
</div>
There was two of them. One is the application that changing MIDI message to infrared light to control hardwre, and the other is create pulse sign by Web Audio API and send it to servo motor to control.
The next one is a mascot, which is not certified by W3C, and it came out from this event. The name is “MIDIappy”, which designed by @g200kg(he is one of an expert, not beginner.). The application is this one.
He brought MIDIappy’s figure which is created by 3D printer.
AMEI created MIDIappy labels, too.
Nobody knows what will happen in hackathon. Actually these Web Music Hackathon had lot of things happen, and Web MIDI API’s mascot was came out at this moment. aThe ideas of applications are great and are unique, so I think attendees enjoyed hacking, and also enjoyed presentation time.
Web Music hackathon had not been scheduled yet, but we may will have Web Music Hackathon #3 soon. So I hope lots of attendees come to the event, and for beginners, do not hesitate to come to the event!!
I will inform you about next event on Web Music Developers JP@Google Groups、Web Music Developers JP@Google+ Community, so if you are interested in these event, please join the group.
OkeyDokey, see you next time!!
Ultimately, I want to say thank you very much for who came to event as tutor!!
Thanks again!!
(Next time, MIDIappy might come by cartoon-character costume.)
P.S. Web Music Hackathon #2 is scheduled to be published magazine, Kogaku-Sha Monthly I/O of 2014/03(2014/02/18 on sale)

This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.
It works on version ranges as well as specific versions, so you can do something like this:
SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they do include prerelease versions. For example:
In this case, a version<EMAIL_ADDRESS>will also be deprecated.
 See the owner
and adduser
help
topics.
To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (""
) for the message
argument. Note
that you must use double quotes with no space between them to format an empty string.

Warren Gatland 'had suspicions Wales player may have been doping'
The former Wales boss made the comments on Irish sports network Off The Ball
by Katie SandsWarren Gatland has admitted he had suspicions about a Wales player doping during his 12-year reign as national head coach.
Gatland, who left the post after the Rugby World Cup, admitted he had suspicions about a Wales player based on jokes made by teammates, but later clarified he had no evidence to base any suspicion on.
The identity of the player the Kiwi was referring to is unknown.
Gatland made the revelation while speaking to Off The Ball presenter Joe Molloy on Wednesday night, while discussing doping in the sport.
Gatland said: "You know I haven’t come across, personally, any players that I've coached from a Wales perspective that I would - well sorry, maybe one."
Asked if he had a suspicion, the former Wales boss said: "Yeah, maybe one, now that I think about it."
When asked if the person played for Wales, Gatland responded: “He may have done, yeah.”
Gatland clarified the comments were only a suspicion or a doubt, and he had no evidence.
"And that's the whole time I've been coaching Wales."
He continued: “It’s probably unfair of me to say I had the suspicions [about one of them] because I’ve got no evidence or anything like that.
“It’s kind of like just saying, ‘Is there a possibility?'"
Asked if he felt it was his role to confront the player, he said: "No, no.
"It was more like a couple of people making jokes sort of thing."
“Truth in humour?,” Molloy asked.
“Yeah, exactly,” Gatland responded.
The coach, who is promoting his autobiography, said: "The sad thing about professional sport, and whether it's team sport or individual sport, when money's involved, there's that potential for it to be exploited with performance-enhancing drugs.
"I think we all want it to stay as clean as we possibly can...
"I’d like to think that the sport is clean. From a New Zealand perspective, I think it’s pretty clean.
“But when you go down levels… we’re seeing positives in Wales as well at junior levels and in other nations as well.
“There’s always that temptation in players wanting to try and play at a higher level and taking the risks by taking drugs. I definitely don’t condone that."


Rebuilding Gray Duck Labs With Octopress
When I chose to leave my awesome strategy consulting job to pursue a freelancing career in product design and development, creating a brand to represent myself was one of the first projects I worked on. In a way, I was my own first “client.”
Gray Duck Labs was the outcome of this effort. I created a portfolio of branded documents, including a letterhead, a slide and wireframing template, business cards, and of course, a web site.
Since this effort coincided with a personal push to refresh my web development skills, I took the opportunity to design and code my own site, including writing my own blogging engine in Ruby on Rails. Initially I was happy with the result (I kept a copy live on Heroku if you’re interested). As time passed, however, I became frustrated with the limitations of the blog engine I had created. For example, my engine lacked:
- Social sharing buttons
- An article index
- Article tagging
- Named page routes
- Comments
None of these features are revolutionary. In fact, these are problems that have been solved many times over. As I became busy with actual client work, I found less appeal in the idea of writing these features from scratch “for fun.”
Enter Octopress. Octopress is a Ruby framework that extends Jekyll to allow you to generate a static site that includes many features that would normally require a dynamic web application.
I chose to use Octopress because it includes many key features out of the box, including social integration and a responsive layout. Being built with Ruby, it was also a good match for my skill set.
I wound up customizing the implementation much more than I was expecting going in. This was because Octopress’s default theme (and most of the third party themes) are very blog-centered, and apparently not intended to host static marketing content. If you’re interested in the gory details of how I created the site you’re looking at, you can check out the source code on GitHub.
Overall, I’m happy with the transition. I like the design changes I made to the marketing content, and despite the heavy customization required it was helpful to use Octopress’ themes as a starting point for my own responsive design.
But the main benefit to this change is that I can now focus on the content. Writing a new post is as easy as dropping a text file into the /posts
directory and running $ rake generate
and $ git push heroku
.
Why this might be a bad idea
In the immediate term, the new site is definitely an improvement, but I do have a few reservations. Mainly, these boil down to two issues:
- I need my development machine to make a new post. Before, I could just log in to my Rails app from any computer to make a change. Now, pushing an update from a location other than my development machine would require a non-trivial configuration process. I also won’t be able to update the blog from a mobile device.
- It will be nearly impossible for non-coders to contribute. Though Gray Duck Labs is just me for now, it’s not inconceivable that at some point there will be other folks I want to contribute to this blog. In a traditional web app (including in my basic Rails implementation), this would be no problem. With Octopress, other contributors would need the ability to make pull requests to my GitHub repo. Fine for developers, pretty much unusable for everyone else.
I suspect if it ever gets to that point I’ll wind up migrating to a more traditional database-driven blog engine like Wordpress. But until then, I’m happy to be ‘blogging like a developer.’
If you’ve been using Octopress or Jekyll for your company blog and encountered these issues, or if you’d like to learn more about my experience, drop me a line.

DESCRIPTIONOpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and threadid_func.
file and line are the file number of the function setting the lock. They can be useful for debugging.
Once
Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following is required:
struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure is needed to handle locks.
CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01 CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02 CRYPTO_READ 0x04 CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08

Home > HTML Questions > What is the difference between inline, block and inline-block elements?
These elements do not break the flow of the document. That means that they don't begin on a new line and they only take as much space as the elements inside them take. They don't have height and width properties.
These elements do not sit inline but break past them (i.e. start on a new line). By default (without setting a width) they take up as much horizontal space as they can.
These elements are very similar to inline elements in that it will set inline with the natural flow of text (on the "baseline"). The difference is that you are able to set a width and height which will be respected.

The Sweet Hereafter (R) **** Starring Ian Holm, Sarah Polley Directed by Atom Egoyan A Review by Frankie Paiva
Has there ever been a film so spectacular and so wonderful that you have ever been afraid to write a review for it? A picture show with a story so fantastically woven into a great motion picture experience? If the slightest word could set off someone or do disrespect to the film? This is exactly the way I feel about The Sweet Hereafter which has just joined my Top 5 favorite films of all time.
Mitchell Stephens (Holm) is a lawyer who has gone to a snowy town where fourteen kids have died in a bus crash. He suggests that something was wrong with the bus, and wants to file a claims suit for the damages experienced by the families. He interviews various parents and victims of the crash including Nicole (Polley) who has been confined to a wheelchair.
 He learns certain lessons here that can help him towards bettering the life of his family. He also has to deal with people who are living in the past and cannot move on.
But it's not just the great screenplay (which was Oscar nominated) and the great characters that appear that make this film what it is. It's the way the film is shot. For some scenes, Egoyan fills the screen with people's mouth quivering as they talk to one another, and rather then letting the film start with the bus crash and have all of the conversations follow it, the film tells the story is a weird sort of way, flashing back between after the accident, before the accident, and the present day.
The film has robbed of all of the two Oscars it got nominated for. Where was the Best Picture nomination? Where were the Supporting Actress and Best Actor nods? Who cares about Titanic? I cried much more often in this than I did in that. You need to see this film now! This instant! Go! Go to Blockbuster and see The Sweet Hereafter which gets **** stars.

This website tries to become a collection of resources pointing out reasons against systemd and what alternatives are available.
systemd claims to be a good and modern replacement for SysVinit ‐ a so called init daemon. Usually the init daemon is the first process spawned by the kernel and thus has the PID #1 and is responsible for spawning other daemons which are necessary for the OS to operate, e.g. networking, cron, syslog etc.
List of init daemons*:
*inactive: no development activity for few years
List of notable bugs and security issues:
Other issues arising around systemd:
Free your system by replacing systemd with an alternative init system. Here are a few guides on how to do that:
Alternatively you can use Linux distributions which do not use systemd by default:
A good summary about most of the beforementioned distributions can be found here.

110. Dungeon Time Limit: 0.25 sec, Memory Limit: 1 MB The mission of space explorers found on planet M the vast dungeon. One of the dungeon halls is fill with the bright spheres. The explorers find out that the light rays reflect from the surface of the spheres according the ordinary law (the incidence angle is equal to the reflectance angle, the incidence ray, the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the sphere surface lay in the one plane). The ancient legend says that if the light ray will reflect from the spheres in the proper order, than the door to the room with very precious ancient knowledge will open. You are not to guess the right sequence; your task is much simpler. You are given the positions and the radii of the spheres, the place where the laser shot was made and the direction of light propagation. And you must find out the sequence in which the light will be reflected from the spheres. Input The first line of input contains the single integer n (1≤n≤50) - the amount of the spheres. The next n lines contain the coordinates and the radii of the spheres xi, yi, zi, ri (the integer numbers less or equal to 10000 by absolute value). The last line contains 6 real numbers - the coordinates of two points. The first one gives the coordinates of the place of laser shot, and the second gives the direction in which it was made (the second point is the point on the ray). The starting point of the ray lies strictly outside of any sphere. Output Your program must output the sequence of sphere numbers (spheres are numbers from 1 as they was given in input), from which the light ray was reflected. If the ray will reflect more the 10 times, than you must output first 10, then a space and the word 'etc.' (without quotes). Notice: if the light ray goes at a tangent to the sphere you must assume that the ray was reflected by the sphere. Sample Input 1 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 Sample Output 1 1 Sample Input 2 2 0 0 2 1 0 0 -2 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 Sample Output 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 etc. |

Gun is a persisted distributed cache, part of a NoDB movement. It requires zero maintenance and runs on your own infrastructure. Think of it as "Dropbox for Databases" or a "Self-hosted Firebase". This is an early preview, so check out the github and read on.
Everything gets cached, so your users experience lightning fast response times. Since gun can be embedded anywhere javascript can run, that cache can optionally be right inside your user's browser using localstorage fallbacks. Updates are then pushed up to the servers when the network is available.
All conflict resolution happens locally in each peer using a deterministic algorithm. Such that eventual consistency is guaranteed across all writes within the mesh, with fault tolerant retries built in at each step for at least once deliveries. Data integrity is now a breeze.
Gun also establishes and repairs server to server communication across geographically separated machines, with just the help of an initial IP from you. It bridges the distance with a realtime connection, so updates propagate at the speed of the raw pipes linking them. However each server is intelligent enough to only subscribe to the necessary subsection of your data set that is in its working memory, keeping things nimble for its connected users.
Data is then persisted to any S3 like service, allowing you to save a truly webscale amount of "big data" without breaking your wallet. Consistency across concurrency is achieved at this layer by each parallel snapshot going through an idempotent transformation that is agreed upon. The granularity and frequency of these snapshots can be tweaked by you, easily tailor fitting it to your data needs and budget concerns.
In summary, this marks an important progression in web technologies. Memory is getting cheap enough that we can now front load each connected user's active data right into the application layer and manipulate it directly. Networks are fast enough that if we get too many connected users we can just horizontally redistribute them across different machines. Conflict resolution algorithms are sophisticated enough to handle things immediately in the majority of data cases, with the remaining few as transactions performed ontop.
This is will be a win for both developers and users, because it makes things easier to build and faster to respond. We are excited about this and working hard to finish the first release.

1. I love databases, especially new ones that keep the working set in memory. But I was horrified to realize that if I use a Database as a Service (DaaS) then I would have to rely on a network call to get that data, which is horribly slow. I wanted something faster, and if possible, cheaper - because they start charging you outrageous prices if you get past their incredibly tiny free tier.
2. Hosting your own database is a pain because you have to maintain the hard drives.  This is ignoring having to figure out how to resize them. Even with SSDs you have problems that they are bound to one instance and you get charged for the total volume size, not the amount used.
I wanted something easy, needing no maintenance and be extremely portable - allowing me to spin up an ephemeral server anywhere, on any cloud, and my data "just work" there.
1. Because gun is not a database (NoDB), it is a persisted distributed cache. The fatal flaw with databases is that they assume some centralized authority. While this may be the case initially when you are small, it always ceases to be true when you become large enough that concurrency is unavoidable. No amount of leader election and consensus algorithms can patch this without facing an unjustified amount of complexity. Gun resolves all this by biting the bullet - it solves the hard problems first, not last. It gets data synchronization and conflict resolution right from the beginning, so it never has to rely on vulnerable leader election or consensus locking.
2. Plus it embeds directly into your application, so you can do your own custom queries with just pure programming logic. Meaning you never have to learn some silly separate query language again. A query language which just attempts to be some DSL to RPC another machine into doing the same query you could have already written in half the time it took to learn the query language. Because face it, any sufficiently capable query language has to be Turing complete, and at that point - why aren't you just writing your entire application logic in it? Your app is nothing without your data.


Parity across instances of a project’s development environment within a team with several developers is a fundamental principle in modern web software development. azk makes that possible in an elegant and easy-to-use way.

azk reduces the entry barrier for beginner developers and catalyses the introduction of new professionals to the marketplace. In that sense, what azk does for environments orchestration looks a lot like what Ruby on Rails did for web development. azk may turn into a relevant tool for programming education everywhere.
Currently available tools for maintaining development environments are very time and effort consuming. azk makes everything a snap and hides away the tough parts of this process (while keeping it transparent enough so that we’re always aware and in control of what’s going on underneath). It’s like azk came from the future.
Quickly integrating new developers into the team or relocating them to different projects are some of the things azk allows me to consider as the CTO of a rapidly growing startup. By the way, azk is open source (and thus 100% free)!

John Biggs, an Australian, who went to live and work in England, theorised that for learning to be most effective for the students in our classes we needed to design that learning with a focus on aligning all of the elements of the learning; in his theory this includes:

Tempwave Demonstration
The sinusoidal temperature wave demo is quite similar in terms of animation to Lessons 6 and 7 in that it is some relatively simple static SVG and some somewhat more complex JavaScript to handle the interactivity and animation.
The demo a simple animation of the transmission of temperature from the air into the ground. Heat is conducted from the air into the ground and diffuses downward. As the heat diffuses downwards, the amplitude of the wave decreases until at some depth there is no perceptible variation over the time period being examined. The physics of this are quite complex but can be evaluated by this approximation:
td = Ta + At * e-d / D * cos( t * ω - d / D)
where
td the temperature at depth d Ta air temperature at the surface (i.e. d = 0) At daily temperature amplitude, in degrees D the "damping depth" of the material being heated t time ω time period cycle expressed in radians
The interesting aspects of this demo are how the temperatures are stored and hence rendered and the use of buttons to control the animation. The temperatures are calculated and stored at ten depths, down to 10 metres. The time period is 200 steps with each step being 3600 seconds (one hour) long. So the demo runs for 8.33 days. Then it has to roll over to the beginning of the storage, which it does through a simple ring-buffer approach.
For the time-line display of the temperatures, it simply builds up a new points array for each iteration for each depth.
function UpdateTempAtDepth ( depthNum, depthID ) {
dampingDepth = Depth[depthNum] / damping;
dampedAmplitude = diurnalAmplitude * Math.exp(-Depth[depthNum] / damping);
Temps[depthNum][nCurTemp] = airTemperature + dampedAmplitude * Math.cos(curTime * omegaDayRad - dampingDepth);
Times[depthNum][nCurTemp] = curTime / 3600.0;
// find the first index in our ring buffer
index = nCurTemp - nMaxTemp;
if (index < 0) {
if ((nTotTemp < nMaxTemp) || (nTotTemp % nMaxTemp) == (nMaxTemp - 1))
index = 0;
else
index += nMaxTemp + 1;
}
// now build the string from the values in the buffer
var pointStr = '';
for ( k=0; k<nMaxTemp && k<=nTotTemp; k++ ) {
var dTime = Times[depthNum][index] - timeOffset;
pointStr += dTime + ',' + Temps[depthNum][index] + ' ';
// increment the index and wrap around in the ring buffer, if need be
index++;
if (index >= nMaxTemp)
index = 0;
}
UpdatePolyline( depthID, pointStr );
}
Displaying the profile is very similar:
function UpdateProfile () {
var pointStr = '';
for ( j=0; j<nDepth; j++ ) {
dampingDepth = Depth[j] / damping;
dampedAmplitude = diurnalAmplitude * Math.exp(-Depth[j] / damping);
temperature = airTemperature + dampedAmplitude * Math.cos(curTime * omegaDayRad - dampingDepth);
pointStr += temperature + ',' + Depth[j] + ' ';
}
UpdatePolyline( profileID, pointStr );
}
The date info displayed is calculated on the fly by using some JavaScript functions that convert from seconds to actual month and day values which are then displayed by updating the text-node child, just as in the previous demos.
Finally, the buttons which control the demo are very straightforward JavaScript. The buttons are just plain SVG round rects
<g id="playbutton" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 408 236)" onmousedown="OnPlayButton(evt)">
<rect width="55" height="31" rx="4" style="fill:green;stroke:black" />
<text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 27.5 15.5)" style="font-family:'Verdana'; font-size:12;fill:black;dominant-baseline:central;"
text-anchor="middle">Play</text>
</g>
<g id="pausebutton" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 484 236)" onmousedown="OnPauseButton(evt)">
<rect width="55" height="31" rx="4" style="fill:yellow;stroke:black" />
<text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 27.5 15.5)" style="font-family:'Verdana'; font-size:12;fill:black;dominant-baseline:central;"
text-anchor="middle">Pause</text>
</g>
<g id="stopbutton" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 561 236)" onmousedown="OnStopButton(evt)">
<rect width="55" height="31" rx="4" style="fill:red;stroke:black" />
<text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 27.5 15.5)" style="font-family:'Verdana'; font-size:12;fill:black;dominant-baseline:central;

text-anchor="middle">Restart</text>
</g>
And the handlers are straightforward too.
function OnStopButton(evt) {
window.clearInterval( intervalID );
curTime = 0;
nCurTemp = 0;
nTotTemp = 0;
}
function OnPauseButton(evt) {
window.clearInterval( intervalID );
}
function OnPlayButton(evt) {
intervalID = window.setInterval('next_update()', 50);
}
function OnRestartButton(evt) {
OnStopButton(evt);
OnPlayButton(evt);
}
And that's it. Click on this link to see the demo in all its sinusoidal glory!

Software
Regardless of the topic, iGEM projects often create or adapt computational tools to move the project forward. Because they are born out of a direct practical need, these software tools (or new computational methods) can be surprisingly useful for other teams. Without necessarily being big or complex, they can make the crucial difference to a project's success. This award tries to find and honor such "nuggets" of computational work.

--- title: "A fistful of ducats" author: "Einar" date: 2020-11-30 description: "Some notes on utility and insurance" #categories: ["R"] tags: ["visualization", "utility", "insurance", "ducats"] math: true editor_options: chunk_output_type: console ---
Some notes on utility and insurance. The below is apropos of ET Jaynes’ Probability Theory, Chapter 13. It’s a useful and interesting book, but Jaynes was apparently no great believer in graphical illustrations.
Daniel Bernoulli, one of the many Bernoullis, conceived a utility function \(u(x) \propto log(x)\) in contrast to the linear \(u(x) \propto x\), usual at the time. Naturally \(x\) denotes money: Gambling was the principal object of probability arguments in the mid-1700s. Utility is hazy, but let us say that it measures the usefulness of a ducat in the unit utils. Daniel called it the “moral value” of money. Linear utility tells us that earning another ducat is always useful and never gets less useful no matter how many you have. The Scrooge McDuck idea of money. Daniel’s logarithmic utility encodes the common sense that someone with 1000 ducats has less use for another ducat than someone with only five ducats.
If you gamble to maximize expected profit as per linear utility you may end up with some nonsense betting strategies. Suppose your fortune is \(M\) ducats. One month’s salary, let’s say. You are to bet \(m \leq M\) ducats on the flip of a coin, with a payout of \(2m\) if you win. How much should you bet if you are pretty sure there is a \(.51\) probability of heads? Your expected fortune after playing this game is \[\mathbb E(\mathrm{fortune}) = .51(M + m) + .49(M - m) = M + .02m.\] To maximize this simply take \(m\) as large as possible. Ask your mum for a loan.
Despite this compelling evidence I’m not sure I would bother betting any ducats on this game. Perhaps my utility is logarithmic? If so it grows quickly in the beginning and more slowly later on. This implies that the losing of a ducat causes me more pain (measured by lost utils) than the winning of a ducat gives me pleasure. Especially at the lower end of the scale where there is larger curvature. An example (plot below): If I own a single ducat, the “moral value” of my fortune is \(\log(1) = 0\) utils. If I lose half a ducat it will cost me about \(.7\) utils. But if I win half a ducat it will gain me only \(.4\) utils!
These numbers have no direct interpretation as far as I know, but we can see some interesting relations: Logarithmic utils are proportional to the number of digits of your fortune. And since \(\log(ax) = \log(a) + \log(x)\) we can say that my loss of a half-ducat pains me as much as she who has ten ducats and loses five. She counts single ducats in the same way that I count tenths-of-ducats. We are the same but for order of magnitude.
With logarithmic utility I might still be willing to bet some amount, \(m\), on the \(.51\) chance of heads. Per the proportionality argument above my fortune of a single ducat, \(M=1\), can be interpreted as “your entire fortune whatever it is,” and you can simply multiply it up. Maybe still a month’s salary. Now \(m\) is the proportion of your fortune you’d be willing to bet. We want to maximize expected utility \[\mathbb E(\mathrm{utility}) = .51\log(1 + m) + .49\log(1 - m).\] This is maximum at roughly \(m=.02\), shown below, but the difference in utility between this and simply not betting is negligible. Going by the monthly salary of the average Norwegian this bet could buy you a mid-range bottle of whisky (Norwegian prices, probably several bottles in another country). I’d rather just take the bottle.  Unless the thrill of betting is in itself very valuable to me.
What if we sweeten the pot by increasing the probability of heads to \(.7\)? Now my expected utility (see below) is clearly increased if I bet something. It is maximized somewhere around \(.4\). The function has an interesting feature in that I should feel the same about betting nothing at all and betting something like \(.7\). Does this correspond to common sense? It’s not entirely far-fetched to me. At such good odds I would feel uncomfortable betting nothing; but I would also feel uncomfortable betting the larger part of my fortune. Less than half feels OK.
Insurance is a racket if you have linear utility. The insurance sellers must necessarily demand premiums that are larger than the expected payouts. How could they not? They’d be giving ducats away for free. At the same time why should I pay more than my expected payout? I’d be giving ducats away for free.
One answer1 lies in the difference between my utility and that of the insurance seller. Under logarithmic utility the insurance seller and I operate on very different scales. The loss of a half-ducat is pretty bad to me, but the insurance seller who has, say, 1000 ducats, will not notice such a loss. In fact, on the scale of half-ducats, the insurance seller has more or less linear utility:
This is basic calculus: if you zoom in far enough on a curve it’s going to look straight. Imagine I will have an unlikely but expensive mishap at the flip of a coin. Heads, with \(.01\) probability, I will need to pay \(.99\) of my single ducat; tails nothing happens. With no insurance my expected utility is \[.01\log(1 - .99) + .99\log(1) \approx -.05.\] The expected payout is \(.01*.99 + .99*0 \approx .01\), so if I pay exactly this premium (and the insurer earns nothing on average), my expected utility is \[.01\log(1 - .01) + .99\log(1-.01) = \log(1-.01) \approx -.01,\] which is better for me than not having insurance.
The break-even point, where insurance isn’t worth it for me in terms of utility, is the premium \(P\) where \(\log(1-P) = -.05\). For small \(P\) we have \(\log(1-P) \approx -P\), so the break-even point is around \(.05\). In principle the insurance seller and I can both be happy if the premium is somewhere in \([ .01, .05 ]\).
You can get nonsense strategies by adhering to logarithmic utility, too. The “moral value” of money might not be a simple mathematical function and it might be different for different people. Personally, I think there is some threshold above which I would lose all interest in gaining ducats. Jordan Ellenberg, in his book How Not to be Wrong, describes a real-life example of such a bounded utility function: Writer Fran Lebowitz would, in her youth, start the month driving a cab until she had made enough money to cover rent and food. After this she would stop driving the cab and spend the rest of the month writing.
Another answer, left as an exercise to the reader, has to do with variance. This argument may also apply to flipping coins with linear utility.↩


Fitch affirms China at 'A+'; outlook Stable
by Omkar GodboleFitch Ratings has affirmed China's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'A+' with a Stable outlook.
While robust external finances, strong macroeconomic performance, and size of the economy are supporting ratings, the large structural vulnerabilities in the financial sector, relatively low per capita income, and weaker governance metrics remain pain areas, Fitch said.
Key quotes
Fitch forecasts growth will slow to 5.7% in 2020, from 6.1% in 2019. Our baseline currently assumes implementation of the entire suite of announced tariffs by the US Trade Representative, including a 15% tariff on about USD150 billion of consumer-goods imports from China scheduled to take effect in mid-December 2019.
Recent progress towards reaching a US-China "phase one" trade deal suggests the possible postponement or eventual removal of some existing tariffs, which could pose an upside risk to our growth outlook.

1 It is as though Bel and Nebo, the statues of the gods of Babylonia,
were bowing down as they are put on animals and carried away!
The statues are heavy burdens and will cause the animals to become tired!
2 Gods and animals are all bowed down;
the gods can save neither themselves nor the beasts of burden;
the gods themselves are going into exile!
3 Yahweh says, "You descendants of Jacob who were exiled,
I am not like the gods of Babylonia that must be carried;
instead, it is as though I have carried you
since you first became a nation.

I caused you to become a nation,
and I will sustain you and rescue you.
5 There is certainly no one to whom I can be compared.

Then they hire a man who makes things from gold to make an idol from it.

They put it in a special place,
and it stays there.
It cannot move!
And when someone prays to it, it does not answer.
So obviously it cannot rescue anyone from his troubles!
8 You people of Judah, do not forget this;
keep thinking about it, you sinful people!
9 Think about the things that I did long ago.
Only I am God; I am God, and there is no one like me.
10 Only I can tell what will happen in the future before it occurs;
I tell it long before it happens.
I will accomplish everything that I plan to accomplish,
and I will do everything that I want to do.
11 So I will summon Cyrus to come from the east like a swift and powerful eagle;
he will come from a distant country.
He will accomplish what I want him to.
He is the one who will do what I have said that I want him to do,
what I have planned.
12 You stubborn people of Israel,
you who are completely unable to do what is right,
13 I will rescue you,
and it will not be a long time before that happens.
I will do it soon.
I will rescue Jerusalem
and show to you Israelite people that I am glorious."

A Closer Look At Mohomi’s Elegant BMW
by SL SocialIt’s safe to say that Lucky Mohomi has had a slow start to his Mamelodi Sundowns career. The midfielder has made just 30 appearances in three seasons.
However, there is nothing slow about the 28-year-old’s stunning BMW, which he purchased after joining the Tshwane giants.

The 28-year-old star who joined Downs from Free State Stars has had to play second fiddle to the likes of Hlompho Kekana, Andile Jali, Oupa Manyisa, Rivaldo Coetzee and Tiyani Mabunda in the Downs midfield.
Off the field, the Mamelodi-born star could not hide his excitement upon purchasing his Beemer.
A family man at heart, Mohomi’s Instagram is filled with family images.
On the odd occasion ‘Fabregas’ will be seen looking dapper next to his hot ride.

REPORTING


PAYBACK
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Paramount Pictures/Icon Productions Director: Brian Helgeland Writer: Terry Hayes, Brian Helgeland, novel "The Hunter" by Richard Stark Cast: Mel Gibson, Maria Bello, James Coburn, William Devane, Gregg Henry, Kris Kristofferson, Lucy Alexis Liu, David Paymer, Deborah Unger, Sterling Wolfe, Jean Carol, Bill Duke
The tagline for this taut, violent, swiftly-paced and thoroughly captivating movie is "Get ready to root for the bad guy." Now, that's not too unusual--after all the villains always get the best lines and make the heroes look really good. This time around, you root for the trigger-happy scrapper because of all the macho men in the show he's the one with the choice reason to use his weapons: justifiable revenge. Porter (Mel Gibson), the hero- villain of Brian Helgeland's "Payback," is much more than an oxymoron. He's one of the most exciting naughty boys to come along in a while, wearing his outrage on his sleeve the way a much cooler James Bond would flaunt the golden cufflinks on his Perry Ellis shirt.
"Payoff" is an update of a noir thriller, John Boorman's 1967 tingling "Point Blank," which was somehow shunted aside by critics and audience alike at the time but which became elevated to classic stature to such an extent that it was featured at the recent New York Film Festival to wide acclaim. In Boorman's work--based like the current one on a novel by Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark--a mobster (played by Lee Marvin) completes a successful robbery only to be double-crossed by his wife and his partner, shot and left for dead. When he recovers from his serious wounds, he is intent on re-capturing his share of the money, not a penny more, but his real motive is revenge.
This fresh version is situated in Chicago, which photographer Ericson Core bathes in a blue hue. With Mel Gibson's occasional narration and Chris Boardman's moody soundtrack, we're plunged into the episode briskly, at a pace that barely has time for a few romantic breaks. Director Helgeland prefers to have the fists and guns do most of the talking. From the very beginning, we're into Porter's perspective.  A flashback takes us to the source of the wound. Porter plans a heist with the evil-looking Val (Gregg Henry) and his wife Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger), which involves crashing his car head-on against one driven by money-launderers. Porter's devil-may-care bearing is apparent: he notes in planning the robbery that the Asian gangsters who regularly carry a case filled with cash do not wear seat belts. Score one for the educational value of the film.
While "Payback" is one of the most violent movies in recent years, exploiting an honest fury and brutality which is treated merely as tongue-in-cheek by Quentin Tarantino in "Pulp Fiction," it may not strike its audience in quite the same way that its predecessor did. In 1967, the wide screen had only recently become a household word with moviegoers, and "Point Blank" director Boorman exploited the advancement by tossing his villains from one end of the frame to the other. Buildings bulged from their foundations in much the manner used by Alex Proyas for his startlingly graphic "Dark City." Boorman's soundtrack often faded to silence as would a pop orchestra out to highlight certain vocal passages. Odd camera angles and fractured time lines inflected the story. Helgeland, who gave Mel Gibson an overwritten script as a motor-mouth, paranoid cabbie in "Conspiracy Theory" and who regained his reputation writing the stunning police drama "L.A. Conspiracy," has embraced sheer violence to replace the cinematic techniques of "Point Blank." In doing so he as squandered much of the elegance of the 1967 drama but has banking on Mel Gibson's audience appeal, a tough guy for whom we root despite his theft of a few dollars from an allegedly crippled homeless man. Watch especially the activities of Pearl (Lucy Alexis Liu), a high-priced hooker with a bent for extreme sado-masochism. How often do you see a small solidly built woman make her living from hanging willing clients upside down in their bedrooms and smashing them in the face when they speak out of turn?

2 Reference Guide for the New R Analyst
2.1 Set-up GitHUB
The reason this document is hosted on GitHUB is that we’ll be working with GitHUB throughout this guide and throughout your own analyses. If you’re interested in learning why you should use git, read Chapter 1; ‘Why Git? Why GitHUB’ from Jenny Bryans Book. Otherwise take my word for it and we can get this part out of the way before we move onto learning R.
First, you’re going to want to sign up for a GitHUB account
Now that you have a GitHUB account, you should fork this repository (repo) so that you can access this document from your GitHUB profile, edit it, and make a ‘pull request’ to suggest edits to me.
This serves two purposes: 1) the quality of this guide will be improved if you take time to edit chapters and contribute your insights on what didn’t work for you; and 2) forking repos and making pull-requests is training you for the workflow you will use when contributing to colleagues’ analyses in the very near future.
To successfully fork this repo and suggest edits simply go to my repo here and click on the name of this chapter: ‘new_analysts.Rmd’, once it’s open click on the pencil icon to suggest edits. Editing automcatically forks the repo and makes a copy in your own list of repos. Now you can make all the edits you’d like and when your happy you can click on ‘pull request’ to send the updates back to me for my review.
If you aren’ successfull forking my repo, read Chapter 24 of Jenny Brians Book; ‘Fork a Repo’.
You’ll notice that this file is a ‘.Rmd’ file which stands for R Markdown. This is a plain text file that uses a minimal number of symbols to render the output text into something elegant and simple. Using plain text files for your analyses and for story on gitHUB is recommended because almost any operating system can read them and they are most likely to be readable in the distant future, rather than using a proprietary file formats like word. Read this if you’re interested in markdown syntax, otherwise come back to it later.
2.2 Install and Set up R and R Studio
R is the statistical programming language that R Studio understands. I think of R Studio as being the front-end user interface to the coding language R which is running in the background. For this all to work you you need to download two files to start; R and R Studio.
- Watch my Youtube Video on how to install R and R Studio
- Go to https://cran.r-project.org/ and follow the link to the download for your operating system.
- Go to https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/ to download R studio
2.3 Install and set-up Git
Next you’re going to install Git. Git tracks the changes you make in R-Studio locally and upon your request, pushes changes to your remote repository at GitHUB. Similar to the relationship between R and R-Studio, Git is the local version control system running in the back ground on your computer while GitHUB is the remote user interface for saving, tracking, and sharing updated versions of your analyses that is hosted on a remote server.
Installing Git locally and getting Git to communicate to your remote GitHUB website account, and then getting them to talk with RStudio takes a number of steps to complete…This next part can be painful to work through, but it is 100 % neccesary and well worth it in the long-run.
- Install Git and GitHUB and get them talking to R-Studio using Jenny Bryan’s Guide, start at chapter 7 and work to the end of chapter 13.
- If you’re successful: Thank god that’s over. Otherwise continue on to Chapter 14 and 15 if you’re having problems.
Congratulations you now have setup the three main tools in the R Analyst toolbox: R, R Studio and GitHUB.
2.4 Familiarize yourself with R and R-Studio
Now that you have the tools you need, lets get familiar with R-Studio and the R programming language.
Lets install you’re first package in R-Studio. You can think of packages as extensions to R. Because R is open-source, people often write packages to make different functions, features, or analyses possible.
Your first package will be swirl(). swirl() is a package for learning (and teaching) statistics and R simultaneously and interactively.
Watch this youtube video to install your first package and start learning R with the swirl() package.
2.5 Learning Objectives:
There are a plethora of resources to help you learn R. After a year and a half of sifting through this material and learning R myself I’ve found these resources to be the best, and I present them to you in an order I wish I had learned them in. Together these objectives direct you through an efficient way to learn R, and combined with a graduate level understanding of statistics you should gain an intermediate skill level in R using a very high-level, and modern approach.
Complete chapter 1 in swirl()
Next, watch this R-Studio Tutorial. Skip over the sections related to the Server Pro version of R-Studio.
Complete chapters 2 – 7 in swirl() inside of RStudio.
Watch R-Studio tutorial: Projects and R Studio
Commplete the remaining chapters in the swirl() R Programming course, and try some of the other swirl courses that interest you.
Read Chapter 7 of Jenny Bryans Book to get your own project set up on GitHUB first and then in R-Studio so you can start experimenting with your own data set and your own analysis.
Read from front to back Hadley Wickam and Garrett Grolemund’s Book: R For Data Science to master the ‘tidyverse’; a deadly combination of packages and a well thought out and systematic approach to “import, tidy, transform, visualize, and model data.” Using the tidyverse as a foundation for your coding replaces the ‘million and 1 ways’ of doing things in R into a concise, grammar of data analysis programming.
All these learning objectives will take some time to complete, and you will be very frustrated at points but know that we all have suffered through this initial learning curve and eventually it gets easier.
2.6 The Process of Data Analysis
Roger Peng puts it simplest: * Define the question * Define the ideal data set * Determine what data you can access * Obtain the data * Clean the data * Exploratory data analysis * Statistical prediction/modeling * Interpret results * Challenge results * Synthesize/write up results * Create reproducible code


{% include 'analytics.html' %}
{% include 'navbar_without_logo.html' %}Tuplex is a parallel big data processing framework that runs data science pipelines written in Python at the speed of compiled code. Tuplex has similar Python APIs to Apache Spark or Dask, but rather than invoking the Python interpreter, Tuplex generates optimized LLVM bytecode for the given pipeline and input data set. Under the hood, Tuplex is based on data-driven compilation and dual-mode processing, two key techniques that make it possible for Tuplex to provide speed comparable to a pipeline written in hand-optimized C++.
Because Tuplex compiles data science pipelines with inline Python to native code, it runs them 5–91x faster than systems that call into a Python interpreter.
Tuplex makes wrangling data easy: it works interactively in the Python toplevel, integrates with Jupyter Notebooks, and provides familiar APIs, all backed by its data-driven compiler. Tuplex jobs never crash on malformed inputs because Tuplex's dual-mode execution model separates the common-case inputs from exception-case inputs (e.g., malformed data, wrong types) and reports them separately.
Getting started with Tuplex is easy: we provide a Python package, Docker image, and instructions to build from source.
| Linux, Python 3.7-3.9: |
| $ pip install tuplex |
