HEARTBREAKERS RATING: 6/10

PLOT: A mom and daughter team work together to con men into loving them, cheating on them and then paying them upon divorce. But what happens when they actually fall in love with their potential conquests? Find out when you watch the movie.
CRITIQUE:
Despite its faults and "video movie" feel, I'd still slightly recommend this
movie because of its enjoyable premise, the two fun performances from Ray
Liotta and Gene Hackman, and the two other fun performances from Jennifer
Love Hewitt's breasts! C'mon everybody, let's all stand up and give those
puppies their rightful due
But for the most part, the flick has enough laughs and funny moments to get you by. The soundtrack also helps, with an upbeat tempo, and plenty of sorted cool tunes. And being a fan of Jason Lee personally, it was also nice to see him paying the rent as the "love interest". In fact, I even bought most of the romance stuff between him and Jennifer Love. But despite some stuff working in this movie, some other stuff could've been improved. The dark nature of the film's premise could've really been milked with some nasty black comedy, but the filmmakers decided to play the "safe card" with this one, which is unfortunate because I really think that the extra spice would have made this film so much better. The length of the film also hurt its overall potency, and the ordinary nature of the comedy, which was for the most part, so-so. I did however crack up at a few key scenes, including one with SNL alumnus Kevin Nealon and some pretty funny lines, like the one in which Liotta's character is asked whether he can "get rid of a dead body" and he replies "I'm from Jersey, ain't I?" The film also has a handful of cameos, including some small parts from Jeffrey Jones, Carrie Fisher and Anna Bancroft. On the whole, the film is probably good-natured and safe enough for most people to enjoy, and let's face it, nobody is going for an Oscar here.
The film has enough laughs, entertaining co-performances from the conned men and an interesting premise to definitely recommend on video. And as for those contemplating a nite out at the movies with this one, I'd say to rest your decision on whether or not you would like to see Hewitt's tremendous figure on the big screen for two hours+ and whether or not you're just looking for some flighty downtime. If so, then by all means, grab a box of kleenex, a box o' nachos, a long raincoat and have a blast! And oh yeah, for the ladies, we do get an impressive scene with Ray Liotta in his skivvies, and uhhhh, yeah...the man's a packin'! Broke my heart, I tell ya... : )

This section covers extracting platform topology, the ID system, worker pools, and micro-schedulers.
Topology
Platform topology defines how the OS organizes processors available to the developer.
Terminology
GTS abstracts topology by:
- Processor: a HW thread (or logical processor) on a Core.
- Core: a set of 1 or more processors.
- Socket: a physical piece of compute hardware.
- NUMA Node: a set of Cores and caches are close to one another.
- Group: a set of Cores, Sockets, and NUMA Nodes. On Windows, a group is limited to 64 processors.
- Affinity: a processor ID within a group. Affinity data can define which processor a SW thread will run on.
API
GTS makes this information available as follows:
A description of the system's processor topology.
Definition: Thread.h:231
Groups
gts::SystemTopology is organized by groups. There can be 1 to N groups. Each group is organized by:
- Core. A list of all cores with no association to each other.
- Socket. A list of cores grouped by socket.
- NUMA Node. A list of cores group by NUMA node.
Core
Each core has the following information:
| |
-
Efficiency Class. Defines the efficiency class of a Core. On a heterogeneous system, this is the relative performance of each Core, where higher efficiency class values have more performance.
-
Processor IDs. Each processors ID/affinity.
|
ID system
GTS employs a grouped ID system implemented with OwnedId to identify resouces and their subresources. An OwnedId consists of a UID that is split into two sub IDs an Owner ID and a Local ID.
| |
-
Owner ID. The resource ID. A globally unique ID [0, UINT16_MAX). These IDs are generated in strictly increasing order {0, 1, ..., UINT16_MAX-1}
-
Local ID. The sub-resource ID. A locally unique ID [0, UINT16_MAX) relative to the resource. These IDs are generated in strictly increasing order {0, 1, ..., UINT16_MAX-1}.
-
UID. A globally unique ID.
|
- Warning
- IDs will wrap if more than UINT16_MAX are generated.
Worker Pool
A Worker Pool is the fundumental executor of CPU work. It determines how SW Worker threads are mapped to a Group’s Processors.
Terminology
- Worker: A wrapper around a SW thread generated by the Worker Pool.
- Worker ID: A OwnedId of a Worker, where the Owner ID is the ID of the Worker Pool and the Local ID is the ID of the Worker.
- Master: The Worker associated with the calling thread that creates the Worker Pool. The Worker Pool does not own this thread. It always has a local ID of 0.
- Note
- GTS has no limit on the number of created Worker Pools, which enables the developer to divide up the compute resources to meet their needs.
Initialization
A Worker Pool can be initialized three ways: default, by explicit thread count, and by description structure.
Default
By default, a Worker Pool is initialized to contain the same number of SW threads as the system has HW thread.
A collection of running Worker threads that a MicroScheduler can be run on.
Definition: WorkerPool.h:54
bool initialize(uint32_t threadCount=0)
Explicit Thread Count
The Worker Pool's SW thread count can also be initialized explicitly. The value can be more or less than the number of HW threads.
Description Structure
The Worker Pool can further be initialized explicitly with a description structure, providing control over each SW thread. The description structure specifies:
- Visitor The caller can provide a WorkerPoolVisitor to hook various points in the WorkerPools lifetime.
- Thread Local Storage Redirection The caller can provide getters and setters to their own TLS, useful for defining TLS in a different address space like cross DLL boundaries.
- Task Caching Workers will cache Tasks below a specified threshold. The caller can set this threshold via gts::WorkerPoolDesc.cachableTaskSize. All Tasks below this size will have their size clamped to it. The caller can also precache Tasks during initialization via gts::WorkerPoolDesc.initialTaskCountPerWorker.
- Note
- The index of each gts::WorkerThreadDesc pushed into gts::WorkerPoolDesc::workerDescs becomes the Local ID of the Worker. This means the first element is always the Master Thread's description.
-
Since the Worker Pool does not own the Master Thread, its description has no effect on the thread. It is merely a placeholder to keep the index mapping 1-1 with Local IDs.
struct MyVisitor : public WorkerPoolVisitor
{
virtual void onThreadStart(OwnedId workerId) final { printf("Worker %d started", workerId.localId()); }
virtual void onThreadExit(OwnedId workerId) final { printf("Worker %d exited", workerId.localId()); }
};
MyVisitor myVisitor;
sprintf(workerPoolDesc.
name,
"TheWorkerPool");
const uint32_t threadCount = gts::getHardwareThreadCount();
for (size_t iThread = 0; iThread < threadCount; ++iThread)
{
sprintf(workerDesc.
name,
"Worker %d", iThread);
}
The description of a WorkerPool.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:172
uint32_t initialTaskCountPerWorker
The number of Tasks to create and cache per Worker during initialization.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:218
gts::Vector< WorkerThreadDesc > workerDescs
The description of each worker thread.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:184
WorkerPoolVisitor * pVisitor
A user-defined visitor object for the WorkerPool. The object must stay alive for the lifetime of the ...

A name to help with debugging.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:224
The description of a worker Thread.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:87
char name[DESC_NAME_SIZE]
The thread's name.
Definition: MicroSchedulerTypes.h:132
Micro-scheduler
A Micro-scheduler defines the schuduling policy of work onto a Worker Pool. It is the fundamental scheduler of work onto the CPU. It creates and consumes Tasks as a fundamental unit of work. A Micro-scheduler is always mapped to a Worker Pool with a 1:1 mapping between Local Schedulers and Workers.
Terminology
- Local Scheduler: A per Worker scheduling element that schedules work onto a Worker and coordinates with other Local Schedulers.
- Local Scheduler ID: An OwnedId of a Local Scheduler, where the Owner ID is the ID of the Micro-scheduler and the Local ID is the ID of the Local Scheduler.
- Master: The Local Scheduler associated with the calling thread that creates the Micro-scheduler. The Master will not schedule work unless the developer calls a wait function on the Micro-scheduler, however other Local Schedulers can take work from it. It always has a local ID of 0. Further, GTS does not require that a Micro-scheduler and Worker Pool share the same Master thread.
- Task: A task is the unit of work that the Micro-scheduler consumes. Tasks are dynamically managed by the Micro-scheduler and enable fork-join parallelism. It is important to note that Tasks are not persistent. Tasks are generally destroyed once they are executed. See (dev_guide_micro_fork_join) for details on using Tasks. (For persistent work items, use the Macro-scheduler's Nodes.)
- Isolation: GTS has no limits on the number of Micro-schedulers that can be attached to a Worker Pool. All Micro-schedulers are executed in round-robin order, and each Micro-scheduler is a separate execution arena, meaning its Tasks are isolated from other Micro-scheduler's Tasks.
- External Victim: Micro-schedulers can reference other Micro-schedulers as External Victims. Tasks are taken from External Victims when all Local Schedulers are exhausted of Tasks. This

| Fig 1. Same Master as its Worker Pool. | Fig 2. Different Master thread than its Worker Pool. Local Scheduler 0 will not be utilized. |
| | |
| Fig 3. Isolation of Mutliple Schedulers | Fig 4. External Victim |
- Warning
- Shutting down a Worker Pool will implicity destroy all attached Micro-schedulers.
Initialization
A Micro-scheduler can be initialized two ways: with just a Worker Pool, or with a description structure.
Basic
A work-stealing task scheduler. The scheduler is executed by the WorkerPool it is initialized with.
Definition: MicroScheduler.h:81
bool initialize(WorkerPool *pWorkerPool)
Initializes the MicroScheduler and attaches it to pWorkPool, where each worker in pWorkPool will exec...
Description Structure
The Micro-scheduler can further be initialized explicity with a description structure, specifying Task priorities and debugging info.
- Task Priority: Task priority imparts an ordering on Task execution within a Local Scheduler. Priorities are indexed [0, priorityCount), with zero being the highest priority. Task priorities are not preemptive, that is if a Task is spawned with higher priority than the currently executing, it will have to wait until the currently executing task finishes. To prevent starvation, a boost age is used to temporarily boost lower priority Tasks.
MicroSchedulerDesc schedulerDesc;
schedulerDesc.pWorkerPool = &workerPool;
schedulerDesc.priorityCount = 1;
schedulerDesc.priorityBoostAge = 1000;
sprintf(schedulerDesc.name, "TheMicroScheduler");
Examples
1-1 Affinity
This example shows how to create a Worker Pool with a 1-1 SW thread to HW thread relationship.
Example Code
Preemptive Task Priority
This example shows how to use two Worker Pools and Micro-schedulers to create preemptive priorities among Tasks. The GTS Micro-schedule implements Task priorities, yet it does not context switch when a higher priority task is spawned. To achieve context switching behavior, one needs to use the OS's preemptive scheduler.
Example Code
Task Isolation
This example shows how to use two Mirco-scheduler to create two regions of Task isolation.
Example Code
Partitioning
This example demonstrates processor partitioning using the following hypothetical:
Imagine a scenario where there are long-running, multi-frame Tasks that need to run alongside a normal update loop. If the long-running Tasks are mixed with the update-loop, the update-loop Tasks could starve. To handle this quality-of-service issue, processors can be partitioned into two WorkerPools, one to handle the update-loop Tasks and one to handle the long-running Tasks. The goal of this configuration is to keep Tasks isolated. The only time it may be ok to break this isolation is when the long-running Micro-scheduler is out of Tasks, where it can victimize the update-loop Tasks.
Example Code
- Note
- One could also solve this problem similar to the (Preemptive Task Priority) example with the update loop running higher priority; however, issues could arise with cache thrashing when the tasks are context switched.
NUMA Hierarchy
This example demonstrates hierarchical Task scheduling over two NUMA nodes. Each node gets it's own Worker Pool and Micro-scheduler. The goal of this configuration is to keep Tasks local to each NUMA node as long as possible. Only when they run out of Tasks do they communicate with each other through victimization.
Example Code
Heterogenous Hierarchy
This example demonstrates hierarchical Task scheduling over two Efficiency Classes. Each Efficiency class gets it's own Worker Pool and Micro-scheduler. The goal of this configuration is to keep Tasks local to their Efficiency Class as long as possible. The only non-local communication that happens is when the more efficient Micro-scheduler victimizes the less efficient Micro-scheduler. Victimization is one-way, because we don't want a more computationally intensive Task to run on a less efficient processor, which could dramatically increase the overall makespan of the schedule.

THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
***1/2 (out of 4) Lost World: Jurassic Park is the epitome of American mainstream action movies. Spielberg has been through this routine so many times that it has become second nature. He is a master at what he does. It's not that he makes it look easy, it's that he makes it seamless. One doesn't notice the acting or the editing or the music; instead, we get caught up in the story and hold on to our seats.
For the six of you on the planet who didn't see Jurassic Park, a scientist, John Hammond, found a way to bring dinosaurs back to life by cloning ancient DNA. The dinosaurs were bred and raised as exhibits for a brand-new safari park. At the park's premiere, the dinosaurs ran amok and killed lots of people.
At the beginning of Lost World, we learn that those dinosaurs were destroyed, but that other dinosaurs on another island survived.  Ian Malcolm, a mathematician who survived Jurassic Park, is going to the island to save his girlfriend (Dr. Sarah Harding, played by Julianne Moore).
But really, what does plot matter when you have an excellent summer action movie with cool special effects?
Spielberg said something like, "Last time we invented the instrument. This time we learned how to play it." That's a very apt summary of Lost World. In Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs were treated with a sense of awe: their mere existence (both on film and in the film) was enough. The first time we see them, the characters spend a few moments staring at the brachiosaurs. They didn't really have to do anything because we hadn't seen them before.This time, Spielberg gets to the dinosaur scenes more quickly and spends less time introducing them. This allows for more screen time devoted to seeing them doing cool stuff, like eating people.
There are new dinosaurs in this movie. The little "compys" attack in little hops, jumps, and nips. But because of their sheer numbers they are almost more frightening than the big Tyrannosaurus Rexes. There are two T. Rexes this time, along with a little baby one. And of course the velociraptors are back (though not as prominently featured as last time).
There is also an excellent action sequence that involves a T. Rex pushing an occupied bus over a cliff. The sequence lasts several minutes, and the tension never lets up.
Another sequence shows the dinosaurs on the run from the hunters. In perhaps the most amazing shot, the camera follows a motorcycle through the legs of a running dinosaur.
For the six of you on the planet who are going to this movie to see the characters, they were alright. The big game hunter Roland Tembo (played impatiently by Pete Postlethwaite -- don't you just love saying that name?) was hard not to like. Goldblum played the same character as last time, a little flatly, but he was given some good lines. His daughter was likeably headstrong without being a "tomboy." That she was a different race and that the movie didn't apologize for it or explain it away was a nice bow to color blindness (reminiscent of the casting of Kenneth Branagh and Denzel Washington in Much Ado about Nothing).
A few little jokes are hidden in the movie near the end. Japanese businessmen run away from the rampaging monster in a wry little quote from Godzilla. A pedestrian who gets eaten is played by David Koepp, the screenwriter. In another quick shot, we see two posters in a video store: one for a Robin Williams version of Jack and the Beanstalk (the last movie from Williams, a friend of Spielberg, was called Jack), and a Schwarzenegger version of Shakspeare's King Lear.
A friend of mine said that there was too much King Kong/Godzilla going on at the end, and she's right that it didn't really fit with the rest of the movie, but it seems to be part of the action genre to throw in a little tongue-in-cheek humor here and there. Keep that in mind, and you won't have to roll your eyes at the humor.
It's hard to imagine anyone not knowing what they're getting into when they go see Lost World. So since you're not expecting artful costumes, insightful dialog, or careful exploration of themes, I can safely recommend this movie as another great summer escape.

Prison Recidivism
The American prison population is large, to say the least. If the two million people lived in one city, it would rank as America’s fifth most populous metropolis, just behind Houston.1 Each year, approximately 600,000 people, a population approaching that of Portland, are released back into the community.2 Recidivism, the term used for ex-offenders who are re-incarcerated after release, is an important factor in understanding how the prison population remains so large. Within three years of their release, two out of three prisoners are rearrested.3 My third project for the Metis Data Science Bootcamp, discussed at length below, attempts to use supervised learning algorithms to shed some light on the main factors contributing to recidivism.
For the project, I needed a dataset that included information broken down by offender. Luckily, the Iowa department of corrections offers a public dataset of over 26,000 records.4 The Iowa study tracked released ex-offenders over a three-year period from 2013 until 2018, and includes demographic such as race and age, release type, and several layers of detail about the crime each person was sentenced for. After dropping records with null values, I had 24,150 rows of data to analyze. The data was imbalanced: it included a ratio of about one recidivist to two non-recidivist. It also included a heavy racial imbalance of over 16000 Caucasian prisoners. The latter distribution is not representative of the racial breakdown of general prison population of the US.5
Prior to modeling, I broke the dataset down into handpicked subsets. One of which dropped the “year released”, “reporting year”, and “target population” features. While modeling, this subset consistently outperformed the others. The best performing models were logistic regression with a C of approximately 1.21, random forest classifier with a max depth of 8, and the naive Bayes Bernoulli classifier. They all returned an auc_roc score around .65. I adjusted the threshold to .4 to reduce false negatives, i.e. released persons the model predicted would not be rearrested but were. False negatives are important since, when considering resource allocation, they represent ex-offenders who may have benefited from more support.

SFH reconstruction test suite¶
Now that we have started up the package and built an atlas, let’s see how we do at fitting SFHs for various galaxy demographics - starforming, starbursting, quenched and rejuvenated galaxies. First thing, let’s load the package:
[1]:
import numpy as np
import dense_basis as db
Starting dense_basis. please wait ~ a minute for the FSPS backend to initialize.
Initialized stellar population with FSPS.
Next we load the atlas that we built previously, with
[2]:
fname = 'test_atlas'
N_pregrid = 300000
Nparam = 3
path = 'internal'
pg_sfhs, pg_Z, pg_Av, pg_z, pg_seds, norm_method = db.load_atlas(fname, N_pregrid, Nparam, path=path)
pg_theta = [pg_sfhs, pg_Z, pg_Av, pg_z, pg_seds]
Different SFH shapes:¶
We now define SFH-tuples corresponding to galaxies from different demographics, as follows:
[3]:
rising_sfh = np.array([10.0,1.5,3,0.5,0.7,0.85])
regular_sfg_sfh = np.array([10.0,0.35,3,0.3,0.55,0.8])
post_starburst_sfh = np.array([10.0,0.6,3,0.5,0.8,0.9])
old_quenched_sfh = np.array([10.0,-10.0,3,0.15,0.3,0.5])
double_peaked_SF_sfh = np.array([10.0,0.5,3,0.25,0.30,0.7])
double_peaked_Q_sfh = np.array([10.0,-1.0,3,0.1,0.6,0.7])
sfh_list = [rising_sfh, regular_sfg_sfh, post_starburst_sfh, old_quenched_sfh, double_peaked_SF_sfh, double_peaked_Q_sfh]
sfh_names = ['Rising/Starburst galaxy', 'Regular star-forming galaxy', 'Post-Starburst galaxy', 'Quiescent SFH', 'Double-peaked SFH [SF]', 'Double-peaked SFH [quiescent]']
Plotting posteriors after fitting these SFHs:¶
We then loop through these SFHs, and - generate corresponding SEDs with randomly sampled values for dust, metallicity, and redshifts (although \(z\sim 1\)) - fit these SEDs using the dense basis SED fitter, and - use the resulting likelihood surface to plot and SFH posterior, comparing it to the truth
Since FSPS takes a while to load up the grids corresponding to different metallicities, the following cell might take a while when executed the first time, but subsequent runs should be fast.

priors = db.Priors()
priors.Nparam = Nparam
priors.tx_alpha = 3.0

rand_sfh_tuple = sfh_tuple
# generate an SFH corresponding to the SFH-tuple and see how it looks:
rand_sfh, rand_time = db.tuple_to_sfh(rand_sfh_tuple, zval = rand_z)
# fig = db.plot_sfh(rand_time, rand_sfh, lookback=True)
sfh_truths = [rand_time, rand_sfh]
# generate a corresponding spectrum and multiply by filter curves to get the SED:

sed_truths = (mstar_true, sfr_true, rand_sfh_tuple[3:], rand_Z, rand_Av, rand_z)

---------- Post-Starburst galaxy ------------
truncated to 1000 SFHs to reduce computation time. increase max_num if desired.
---------- Quiescent SFH ------------
truncated to 1000 SFHs to reduce computation time. increase max_num if desired.
---------- Double-peaked SFH [SF] ------------
truncated to 1000 SFHs to reduce computation time. increase max_num if desired.
---------- Double-peaked SFH [quiescent] ------------
truncated to 1000 SFHs to reduce computation time. increase max_num if desired.
We see that we do well in recovering the general shape of the SFHs, as well as derived quantities like stellar mass and recent SFR. The poorer reconstructions are discussed below in a bit more detail: - Post-starburst galaxy: While most of the true SFH is within the uncertainties, the reconstruction is not able to completely recover the recent SF prior to the quenching. This is mostly a prior issue, with post-starburst galaxies disfavoured by our adopted prior - in this case, going to larger Nparam or coupling the sSFR to the redshift allows for more variety in the SFH shapes and helps recover this population. - Double-peaked quenched galaxy: while this performs reasonably well, the peaks are poorly constrained due to low S/N from the old stellar populations. In this case, we actually find th older peak to be better constrained mainly because the SFH has to be 0 at the big bang. This also leads to the uncertainties not being estimated accurately, which is also usually mitigated by a larger atlas. - Old quiescent galaxy and the double-peaked SF galaxy: This is simply a S/N issue. The fitter detects that the galaxy is quiescent, but doesn’t have enough information to accurately constrain the older stellar populations, leading to the posterior being prior rather than likelihood dominated.

March 3, 2017|| Real Dynamics Team
As we have seen, a lot of businesses like HP and Google are splitting their enterprise into different companies. These are large projects for the business and IT to undertake. Of course, these decisions are driven by business reasons, such as regulatory requirements, a monopoly in an industry, a portfolio that is too big and diversified to manage, getting ready to sell off part of the business, limiting liability to certain parts of the business, tax liability, and so on.
We recently helped a large customer in splitting their Dynamics AX and enterprise systems. At a high level, it may sound as easy as creating separate legal entities in Dynamics AX, and that it probably wouldn't take much time. However, there is definitely a lot more to it due to business process impact, business decisions to be made for operational impacts, and changes to the overall ecosystem of the enterprise architecture. Here are some of the high level areas to consider while approaching such projects.
Sample Transaction flow in the new world after splitting the companies
These are a few areas which need to be explored. However, IT solutions are dictated by the needs of the business, and some of these complexities may or may not be applicable based on your scenario. E.g., if you are splitting into totally different businesses that are not going to buy/sell from each other, then you may not have to worry much about inter-company trade.
Along the same lines, if operations does not demand for arm's length transactions between legal entities, your solution may be to add legal entity as a business unit and use it to address your reporting needs. It can be the least expensive option when considering all available solutions.
At other end of the complexity spectrum, we may have, for example, a customer that serves the military and governments with security systems. In that scenario, the parent company is not allowed to influence the operations of each subsidiary, so the solution will require a lot more effort.

It's becoming easier and faster than ever to bring an idea to market. Unfortunately, too many could-be entrepreneurs are busy crafting ideas that are everything to everyone instead of something to someone. And, in the fervor of implementation, we become overwhelmed and give up altogether. Sound familiar?
This week, I launched two new products. Yes, you read that right. I launched two products, and they're available for purchase right now. Both conceived, implemented, and marketed in less than a week. Are they fully-featured? No, not really. Will they provide value? Yes, in fact, I'm already using both myself. A product providing value already in the marketplace is worth so much more than a so-called "fully featured" product years into development that still has yet to find a customer.
There are a few criteria which separate 24-hour startups from their behemoth never-launched cousins:
I cannot stress this enough. If you're your own customer, you've just eliminated months of market research and collaboration prior to bringing the product to market. And, if you're willing to pay money for something you've built, you're more likely to execute effectively and others are more likely to click 'Purchase'.
Build a product that does one thing really, really well. A laundry list of features is no good if all of them are implemented poorly. Build the smallest saleable component of your product now, and take it to market immediately. Your customers will lead the way for the rest.
When I built my Panache! icon set product, I knew the likelyhood of becoming filthy stinking rich from icons was nil. But I was tired of using the same old icons and glyphs for my projects and wanted to give my work a unique flare. So, I outsourced their production to an Elance freelance designer and watched as my icons poured into my inbox. As soon as I made them available for sale, I immediately started in on Moola and leveraged the same icons on its marketing page.
Software-as-a-service requires recurring billing infrastructure which sometimes takes as long to implement and test as the core product itself. Digital products, on the other hand, can be distributed using a one-off pricing model with no need for tracking account payments, upgrades, or cancellations. This allows you to start charging credit cards sooner rather than later.
I hope my success building microproducts will inspire you to craft your own. If you're looking for a quick way to bootstrap your new microenterprise, check out Moola, my Ruby web framework for accepting credit card payments in just ten lines of code. It includes a Getting Started guide with instructions for taking payments using Stripe and deploying on Heroku. Good luck!

How do I get started mining? Asic vs gpu or should I rent? where to rent for specific coins? anyone have a link?
Hermes18-Nov-18 02:21 AM
For Komodo assetchains Asic will get you a better performance. People are using nicehash.com and also miningrigrentals.com the configuration for each coin is different because are running in different IPS.
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 03:01 AM
or should I rent? If you ever have to ask that question, the answer is "no". Only rent when you know why you're renting, you've done the math, and you know that it's your best option.
MSI designs and creates top-tier gaming gear for gamers.
i have a very similar ASUS MB to that, which I can remove the only graphics card, and it boots just fine (this is a CPU mining rig)
also, on a scale from 1 to 10, how bad is it to remove a GPU from a running MB?  The HDMI port would indicate it should be able to fire up.
I would tell your friend NOT to remove the graphics card from a running MB... as a standard of good practice.
Can he/she? Sure.
Will problems arise? I don't know, you'd have to google that.

@FishyGuts i want this miner to boot up, regardless of a video card being attached

Oh ... a player after my own heart!
dukeleto18-Nov-18 07:06 PM
some MBs + CPUs work just fine. Rip out GPU, restart, good to go.
FishyGuts18-Nov-18 07:06 PM
Dust is but a measurement gauge of how often I need to clean my rigs
dukeleto18-Nov-18 07:06 PM
Others, they get stuck at boot. Like they are waiting for a keypress or something. it's a common problem I am seeing on forums
those "headless" display things above, trick the bios into thinking there is a GPU attached
FishyGuts18-Nov-18 07:07 PM
I guess my point being, with an HDMI port like that, there's got to be a setting for booting from onboard graphics.
FishyGuts18-Nov-18 07:09 PM
Maybe @Crypto Christopher Walken knows more.
Or @ComputerGenie 👴👴👴
Ah haha.
dukeleto18-Nov-18 07:09 PM
time to go, hopefully I will come back to knowledge bombs. be well, mine on
P.S. they don't "trick the bios into thinking there is a GPU attached", they plug into GPU0 and "trick the bios into thinking there is a monitor attached"(edited)
dukeleto18-Nov-18 10:13 PM
@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 so I am trying to understand why some MB's will allow booting with no GPU installed, some don't, and what that is called. I seem to get the BIOS post, and fan LEDs come on, but it gets stuck on the bios when no GPU is installed. Put a GPU in, it will boot just fine, regardless of monitor being attached, such that I can ssh in
my end goal is not not have any graphics card installed at all, so these hdmi "fakers" are not really what I am looking for, unless I can plug them directly into the MB HDMI slot to get it to boot
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 10:41 PM
@dukeleto it's not a "setting" change when you use a CPU that has "onboard" graphics
Every system has to have something, that board uses:
Graphic
Integrated in the AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Processors
It's in the CPU and that board supports it
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 10:56 PM
I'm not quite sure what you think you're after (or at least as you explain it) is even a thing
dukeleto18-Nov-18 11:06 PM
@ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 what I am after, is a rig that will boot with no graphics card at all, and be a CPU miner, with ssh access. I have accomplished that with the ASUS MB, and thought I could do the same with this "better" MSI board
I use a GPU to install/setup the rig, then turn off, remove GPU, restart and then maintain via ssh
Ubuntu 18.04 . Works fine, if the BIOS lets you do it. I didn't think integrated graphics mattered if I am not trying to use any graphics
i am using Ryzen 2700's (X and not)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 11:07 PM
what I am after, is a rig that will boot with no graphics card at all, and be a CPU miner
Then you need:
a) a CPU with integrated graphics
or
b) a motherboard with integrated graphics
MSI designs and creates top-tier gaming gear for gamers.
i am missing the feature difference that allows the ASUS to boot with no GPU but the MSI won't. Perhaps a bios update would change something
the 450 is supposedly a superior MB to the 350, more compatible with 2nd gen Ryzen's/etc
but maybe not
i see Integrated in the AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Processors for the ASUS but not in the MSI details. Lame
doesn't help that everything about MB's + CPUs is written in broken english
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 11:16 PM
the MSI doesn't work if you plug a monitor into it?
dukeleto18-Nov-18 11:16 PM
everything works if a graphics card is plugged into a PCIe slot
what I want is to have many many rigs, and only a few GPUs for maintenance/etc. I don't want to have 1 GPU per rig
it seems to POST the BIOS without a graphics card, but gets stuck in bios-land
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 11:17 PM
If you plug a monitor into the onboard slot of the MSI, does it work?
not asking about a GPU...
dukeleto18-Nov-18 11:18 PM
i can try that, any hack is better than nothing, since I just bought a few of these MB's
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Nov-18 11:18 PM
if it works with a monitor plugged in, then get a dongle
Alright18-Nov-18 11:29 PM
@dukeleto safest way to remove a GPU from a running machine would be a riser I imagine
terrible fucking idea, but
if it doesn't have integrated graphics, not going to work
the cpu

U need a monitor for the booting system after u can remove completly
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴19-Nov-18 08:27 AM
@gigoplast that's what the dongle is for, to avoid that; what he was asking about was trying with no graphics support at all

moving that much funds, during an active hash war/hard fork, with no replay protection. That person is either very very smart or very very dumb
and only a handful of people have that much BCH to move around. Sounds like it could be some strategic move, to maybe replay the transaction on other forks and try to dump all the coins, perhaps

Not content with one already very centralised chain they have split into two very very centralised chains. Awesome work guys, you have created two forms of 'money' that are both even more centralised than fiat bankers could manage

Cryptoon15-Nov-18 08:34 PM
What is the point atm? They both just mine their own chain? So they both exist?
Just like the btc and bch fork?
What is the endgame here that makes one coin ‘stop’
Miners just give up?
So bch as we knew it
Can be spent on both chains?
Its not like the bch you have is now bchabc and bchsv?
Like with btc/bch fork

Cryptoon15-Nov-18 08:40 PM
Or should not spend it
The more I learn about this, the more retarded the situation seems...
So it’s just the chain that keeps being mined the longest and is the longest?
Alright15-Nov-18 08:42 PM

and is
Cryptoon15-Nov-18 08:42 PM

it doesnt matter which chain is longer
they both will exist
i dont see either side stopping

So basically bch just became worthless then?
jl777c15-Nov-18 08:46 PM
of course using it becomes problematic as there is no replay protection
no idea what the market will do. maybe mcafee will tweet that one side won and it doubles in price

I think we will have a clear loser
think segwit2x
cah589615-Nov-18 08:46 PM
serves them right if it's worthless
jl777c15-Nov-18 08:47 PM
but the shorter chain can just stubbornly keep mining
Alright15-Nov-18 08:47 PM
segwit2x is probably still mined
jl777c15-Nov-18 08:47 PM
and diff adjustment (relatively fast) will make total chainwork different at the same height
Cryptoon15-Nov-18 08:47 PM
@cah5896 remember that the user/holder is the loser here
Normale people like you and me trying to buy and use crypto
We risk everything
While I dont think ver/csw will go to bed hungry at the end of the day
cah589615-Nov-18 08:48 PM
@Cryptoon I guess so. At least I don't own any!
BTC Cash seems like a flawed premise to begin with. I think Komodo is doing everything right. We just don't have many material gains yet

Cucumber Basics
Cucumber is an acceptance testing framework. Let’s dive in.
Basics
Cucumber utilizes a hierarchical testing structure to create readable, read-like-a-sentence representations of what your application should do. It reads in plain text files written in a language called Gherkin. Each file represents a feature of your system and contains a variety of scenarios that will be tested.
These scenarios are defined by step definitions which serve as the connective tissue between the sentence describing the scenario and the runnable support code that tests that the feature has been implemented properly. This support code is specific to the domain of your system (POSTing to a server, Triggering an onClick event in the UI).
Features
Every Gherkin file represents a feature and begins with the feature keyword. Features may be followed by an optional description. The description is a deep dive that precisely describes the intent and purpose of a feature and includes any details that are relevant to it’s acceptance criteria.
Features contain several different scenarios which are representative of the different states a system may have to deal with and hopefully provide coverage over edge cases and distinct behavior that must be implemented.
Scenario
Scenario’s represent a specific scenario that describe how the system should behave when presented with a certain situation. In order to get a scenario to pass, the system’s behavior must adhere to the scenario’s outline.
Scenarios are made up of three steps that are analagous to the Arrange, Act, Assert paradigm found in unit testing.
- Manipulate the system to be in a certain state
- Instruct the system to perform the behavior to be tested
- Verify the subsequent state of the system
These three steps can be constructed in sentence-like structure using the keywords Given, When, and Then. In addition, And and But can be interwoven into these steps to increase the expressiveness of the scenario.
As in any proper testing environment, cucumber scenarios should be independent of one another and not depend on the status of any other scenario.
Step Definitions
Step definitions serve as the binding between Gherkin scenarios and the concrete implementation of the actions that will be performed in order to test the system. Step definitions describe how your support code should manipulate the system, but do not perform these manipulations themselves. They are kept distinct from the support code that will actually poke and prod the system.
Step definitions bridge this gap between the scenario and support code by using string matching to extract the relevant information from the scenario written in Gherkin and provide them to the support code. This is most commonly executed using regular expressions (regex).
While regular expressions are outside of the scope of this post, this presentation by Lea Verou provides a fast-paced wealth of information that covers everything you need to know in order to get started using regex in your Gherkin scenarios!
The ^ and $ symbols serve as anchors that specify the beginning and end of the scenario snippet.
Another useful feature that allows writing out a series of tests that will all live at the same level of abstraction before coding their concrete support code implementation is pending. Pending allows you to specify what the concrete implementation will do and then move onto writing the next test so that the behavior of the system at this level can be fully specified before implementing the support code.
Expressive Scenarios
Cucumber includes several more key features that allow developers to write expressive scenarios that focus on the important and relevant information about the system under test.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds are a section in the feature file that allow you to express steps that are common to the scenarios that will be tested. This is analagous to the beforeEach paradigm in unit testing and serves a similar purpose. Backgrounds isolate setup code so that it must only be changed in one place and allow the reader to focus on the unique and relevant behavior in each scenario. This increases readability but also has the potential to be abused and cause the reader to jump back and forth between a complicated setup routine and the outline in the scenario.
You want to be in a single responsibility mindset when designing feature tests.
This can be avoided by keeping backgrounds simple and short. If you find your background becoming convoluted it may be a sign that you are testing more than one feature in the file. You want to be in a single responsibility mindset when designing feature tests. In addition, technical details like opening and closing sockets or pinging third party API’s belong in your support code and not in your backgrounds.
Data Tables
Data tables allow Cucumber users to describe more complex, potentially multi-dimensional data in a format that would not map well to the single lines that Given, When, and Then require. They can represent larger data and if you find yourself writing Given… And… And… And… then it may be a signal that a data table could increase your test expressiveness.
Scenario Outlines
Scenario outlines allow Cucumber users to extract various input values and/or expected outcomes from scenarios that follow a common set of steps.
Placeholders are indicated in the scenario outline using angle brackets and serve as variables that can be assigned in the example section of the scenario. You also have the ability to use multiple different tables to test different but related behavior, such as valid and invalid setups.
Step Definition Internals
A step definition begins by capturing the variable definitions that were defined in the Gherkin test scenarios. Once these variables have been defined they are used to set the system under test into a particular configuration state. This is often achieved through including libraries in the support code but the system can also be tested using your own custom support code. The step definition can use your support code to poke and prod the system under test. After the captured information has been used to instantiate the support code and the system under tests the relevant methods that will test the system should be called and the support code should be utilized to test the system. A unit testing framework can then be used to verify the results and the acceptance testing cycle for a step is complete.
These steps break down as follows:
- Capture relevant information from the Gherkin test scenario
- Use this information to configure the system under test and the support code that will poke the system
- Capture the results of poking the system
- Verify these results against the expected outcome using assertions
Examples of support code could include an HTTPRequest that can connect to the server using an HTTP Library or a custom socket connection and return an HTTP Response that could be verified using an xUnit framework against the expected response.
Conclusion
Cucumber is a powerful acceptance testing framework that allows plain text language to express powerful and expressive scenarios that can drive the BDD test cycle.
The Cucumber Book is an excellent resource for further reading and code examples on how to use Cucumber with your next project.
Working with expressive acceptance tests provides a bridge between developers, clients, and business stakeholders and allows effective communication of requirements and acceptance criteria making your development cycle more efficient and less prone to rewrites!

Initially, the server host starts the POP3 service by listening on TCP port 110. When a client host wishes to make use of the service, it establishes a TCP connection with the server host. When the connection is established, the POP3 server sends a greeting. The client and POP3 server then exchange commands and responses (respectively) until the connection is closed or aborted.
Commands in the POP3 consist of a case-insensitive keyword, possibly followed by one or more arguments. All commands are terminated by a CRLF pair. Keywords and arguments consist of printable ASCII characters. Keywords and arguments are each separated by a single SPACE character. Keywords are three or four characters long. Each argument may be up to 40 characters long.
Responses in the POP3 consist of a status indicator and a keyword possibly followed by additional information. All responses are terminated by a CRLF pair. Responses may be up to 512 characters long, including the terminating CRLF. There are currently two status indicators: positive ("+OK") and negative ("-ERR"). Servers MUST send the "+OK" and "-ERR" in upper case.
Responses to certain commands are multi-line. In these cases, which are clearly indicated below, after sending the first line of the response and a CRLF, any additional lines are sent, each terminated by a CRLF pair. When all lines of the response have been sent, a final line is sent, consisting of a termination octet (decimal code 046, ".") and a CRLF pair. If any line of the multi-line response begins with the termination octet, the line is "byte-stuffed" by pre-pending the termination octet to that line of the response. Hence a multi-line response is terminated with the five octets "CRLF.CRLF". When examining a multi-line response, the client checks to see if the line begins with the termination octet. If so and if octets other than CRLF follow, the first octet of the line (the termination octet) is stripped away. If so and if CRLF immediately follows the termination character, then the response from the POP server is ended and the line containing ".CRLF" is not considered part of the multi-line response.
A POP3 session progresses through a number of states during its lifetime. Once the TCP connection has been opened and the POP3 server has sent the greeting, the session enters the AUTHORIZATION state. In this state, the client must identify itself to the POP3 server. Once the client has successfully done this, the server acquires resources associated with the client's maildrop, and the session enters the TRANSACTION state. In this state, the client requests actions on the part of the POP3 server. When the client has issued the QUIT command, the session enters the UPDATE state. In this state, the POP3 server releases any resources acquired during the TRANSACTION state and says goodbye. The TCP connection is then closed.
A server MUST respond to an unrecognized, unimplemented, or syntactically invalid command by responding with a negative status indicator. A server MUST respond to a command issued when the session is in an incorrect state by responding with a negative status indicator. There is no general method for a client to distinguish between a server which does not implement an optional command and a server which is unwilling or unable to process the command.
A POP3 server MAY have an inactivity autologout timer. Such a timer MUST be of at least 10 minutes' duration. The receipt of any command from the client during that interval should suffice to reset the autologout timer. When the timer expires, the session does NOT enter the UPDATE state--the server should close the TCP connection without removing any messages or sending any response to the client.

ISRO to launch Cartosat-3, 13 US satellites next week
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) would launch its earth imaging and mapping satellite Cartosat-3 along with 13 commercial nano satellites from the United States, on November 25, the space agency said.
The satellites would be launched by India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C47 into Sun Synchronous Orbit from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
The launch is tentatively scheduled at 09.28 hrs IST on November 25, 2019 subject to weather conditions, ISRO said.
The Cartosat-3 is a 'third generation agile advanced satellite' having high resolution imaging capability, it said, adding that the satellite would be placed in an orbit of 509 km at an inclination of 97.5 degree.
PSLV-C47 is the 21st flight of PSLV in 'XL' configuration (with 6 solid strap-on motors).
PSLV-C47 would also carry 13 commercial nano satellites from United States of America as part of commercial arrangement with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), Department of Space.
ISRO has said, this would be the 74th launch vehicle mission from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.

We'll be partying all weekend long, but our actual date is a palindrome, so that's cool.
Invitations coming soon!
Keep an eye on your mailbox, 'cause we'll be sending out invitations and reply cards!
Most of our guests are staying at the Sugarbush Inn or the Resort Condos at Sugarbush (see link below)! The Condos and the Inn are just a few minutes apart, and we'll offer a shuttle to and from the wedding venus from both locations.
The Inn will be a hot spot for all weekend activities and the Condos range from 1 – 4 bedrooms and are fantastic for larger groups or families! We are super pumped to be taking over the Sugarbush Inn, but if you'd rather not be staying at the "after party" location, feel free to take a look at the condos!!
Learn more about Ploughgate Creamery & lady boss Marisa Mauro! Or take a look at her feature in the Boston Globe!
Our gift registries, including an option to donate to our "hopeful homeowners fund" are below. Just clickalink!
The Boisterous Jam Band Guy + The Quiet Studious Girl start to sit together often...
First Date, they get lost driving to a movie, distracted by each other. He woos her with Mario Kart and she says "Sure. Let's do this."
Then came physics. Loose-cannon teacher dedicates 8+ classes to analyzing this mysterious new pair. His conclusion? "They balance each other out. I think I get it."
Balance was indeed the key: He taught her how to loosen up, and she encouraged him to show up to class. He taught her to ski (and she threw mittens at his face for taking her down a black diamond too soon). She took him on his first run and to his first yoga class (and he was annoyingly good at both right away). From many drives between HWS and Ithaca, to living on Cup Noodles in a van traveling around New Zealand, to exploring British Columbia with 15 wild roommates, to moving home to their beloved Boston, life side-by-side has been the best kind of fun.
To all of our friends and family: Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the next big step and many adventures ahead!
Love, Brittany & Chris
The Big Day!

as possible!


Holiday Movie Quotes to Get You Into the Spirit
by Bianca RodriguezChristmas movies to Christmas are like a Starbucks red cup to December: One just wouldn't be as wonderful without the other. There's something about a Christmas movie that allows it to rise above the logic of a sensible plot in a way you not only don't mind, but actively indulge in. For all the Grinches in your life, I present: The best lines from Christmas movies. Ever.
'Home Alone' (1990)
Kevin McCallister: "Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen."
'While You Were Sleeping' (1995)
Lucy: "Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like, seen somebody? And you knew that, if only that person really knew you, they would, well, they would, of course, dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that you were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?"
'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York' (1992)
Bird Lady: "I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken."
Kevin McCallister: "I understand. I had a nice pair of rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box. Do you know what happened? I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times."
Bird Lady: "A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates."
Kevin McCallister: "They're kind of the same thing. If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."
'Love Actually' (2003)
Mark: "But for now, let me say...Without hope or agenda...Just because it's Christmas...And at Christmas you tell the truth...To me, you are perfect."
'Scrooged' (1988)
Frank Cross: "It's Christmas Eve. It's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be."
'Elf' (2003)
Buddy: "I planned out our whole day. First, we’ll make snow angels for a two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie dough as fast as we can, and then we’ll snuggle."

'White Christmas' (1954)
Phil Davis: "My dear partner, when what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, whatever it is you've got left."
'A Charlie Brown Christmas' (1965)
Charlie Brown: "Rats. Nobody sent me a Christmas card today. I almost wish there weren’t a holiday season. I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?"
'A Bad Moms Christmas' (2017)
Kiki: "I spend months picking out the perfect present for everyone. You know the only thing I get in return? Coupons, free back rubs."
'The Nightmare Before Christmas' (1993)
Jack Skellington: "There’s children throwing snowballs, instead of throwing heads, they’re busy building toys and absolutely no one’s dead."
'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' (1989)
Ellen Griswold: "I don't know what to say, but it's Christmas, and we're all in misery."
'A Christmas Story' (1983)
Ralphie: "Of course! Santa! The big man! The head honcho! The connection!
'The Santa Clause' (1994)
Scott Calvin: "Who gave you permission to tell Charlie there was no Santa Claus? I think if we're going to destroy our son's delusions, I should be a part of it."
'Holiday In The Wild' (2019)
Derek: "The thing about elephants...they read your soul."

The Conductor:"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."
'It's A Wonderful Life' (1946)
Clarence: "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' (2000)
The Grinch: "The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there-on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self-pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercise; 6:30, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing...I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?"
'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer' (1964)
Sam the Snowman: "Now don't any of you worry your heads about Santa, Mrs. Claus will have him plenty fattened up before Christmas Eve. It's always the same story."

Mall Santa: "We're not just doing this for us. We're doing it for the kids. For every kid who ever sat on Santa's lap. For every little girl who left cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas night. For every little boy who opens a package Christmas morning and finds clothes instead of toys. It breaks my heart."

Charlie: "Seeing isn't believing; believing is seeing."
'Die Hard' (1988)
Hans Gruber: "I Have A Machine Gun. Ho Ho Ho."
'The Holiday' (2003)

Iris: "You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life for God's sake!"
 I never thought I'd say that with a smile on my face."
'Deck The Halls' (2006)
Kelly Finch: "That's what Christmas memories are made from, they're not planned, they're not scheduled, nobody puts them in their Blackberry, they just happen."
'This Christmas' (2007)
Melanie 'Mel' Whitfield: "So, technically, you slept with Santa?"
Kelli Whitfield: "Well, I didn't know he was Santa at the time... but technically, I guess I did."
Melanie 'Mel' Whitfield: "Well, ho, ho, ho!" -
'Bad Santa' (2003)
Thurman: "You are really Santa, right?"
Willie: "No, I'm an accountant. I wear this f--king thing as a fashion statement, alright?"
'The Night Before' (2015)
Chris: "You don't steal on Christmas! That's not right...she Home Aloned me!
'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992)
Ebenezer Scrooge: "Christmas is a very busy time for us, Mr. Cratchit. People preparing feasts, giving parties, spending the mortgage money on frivolities. One might say that December is the foreclosure season. Harvest time for the money-lenders."
'Office Christmas Party' (2016)
Clay Vanstone: "Hey, God. I know I haven’t asked for a lot in this life. Granted, I was born rich, and white, and a man, and straight. Well, except for that one time in Vegas, but that was Vegas."
'Fred Claus' (2007)
Fred Claus: "Nick, there's been one thing that's been eating at me since I've been here. That naughty-nice List that you got? There's no naughty kids, Nick. They're all good kids. But some of them are scared. And some of them don't feel listened to. Some of them had some pretty tough breaks too. But every kid deserves a present on Christmas."
'Christmas with the Kranks' (2004)
Spike Frohmeyer: "You're skipping Christmas! Isn't that against the law?"
'A Madea Christmas' (2013)
Madea: "Little baby Jesus was born to the virgin Mary…J Blige."
'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' (2018)
Mr. Stahlbaum: "This time has been difficult for all of us, but when Christmas comes, we must do our best to enjoy it."
'Trading Places' (1983)
Billy Ray Valentine: "Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, "Hey, we're losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip!  So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now, I can feel it."
'Just Friends' (2005)
Chris Brander: "Look Jamie. I said a lot of crappy things the other night and I'm sorry about that. The truth is, I'm scared to be your friend, because I'm always going to want more. But then I got to thinking that I would rather have you in my life as a friend than not at all."

This is currently my favorite active project to work on. I started this project because I initially wanted to buy a Google Home to have that whole personal assistant feel but I realized one thing. It wouldn't really be personal. Google Home is built for many people to use to the commands and features are basic so that it can accomodate all those people. I want to build Goddard to be my own very personal assistant that learns about my behavior and can perform tasks for me that aren't things that Google Home can already do.
When I first started working on Goddard I envisioned it as a chatbot for creatives that would take the users input and create a folder full of references for a project. Although, I liked the sound of it a lot of people told me that it sounded like something one could do by just Googling and you'd also have the luxury of picking things YOU actually wanted. WHich did make a lot of sense.
So, at this point I pivoted and began to think more broadly. Instead of just a chatbot for compiling sources let me make one that can understand my work and critique it.
I worked a lot with the Raspberry Pi this past semester and I wanted to incorporate some sort of physical component to Goddard. Ideally I wanted it to be able to unlock by recognizing my face and then using a 5" LCD touch screen I could send commands or read the latest updates on my projects.
However, I ran into a lot of issues in the camera/face detection portion of the code and it halted that part of the project for now. I can code around it but seeing as I want to use this as a learning opportunity I don't want to pass it up.
Goddard is still under a lot of heavy development and I need to take some time out to sit down and sort all the documentation. But, in the meantime here is a sneak mockup of how I would like the voice chat portion of the desktop application to possibly look like.
