Roulette Table Class¶
This section provides the design for the Table
class to hold the
bets. In the section Roulette Table Analysis we’ll look at the
table as a whole.
One of the table’s responsibilities seems to be to validate bets. In InvalidBet Exception Design we’ll look at how we can design an appropriate exception.
In Roulette Table Design we’ll look at the details of creating the table class. Then, in Roulette Table Deliverables we’ll enumerate the deliverables for this chapter.
Roulette Table Analysis¶
We’ll look at several topics in detail as part of the analysis of the table.
Winning vs. Losing explores how we handle the payment of a bet and the receipt of the winnings.
In Container Implementation we’ll look at how we store bets.
We’ll look at casino betting limits in Table Limits.
The Adding and Removing Bets section discusses some additional details of how the bet container must work.
The Table
object has the responsibility to keep the Bet
instances
created by the Player
object. Additionally, the house imposes
table limits on the minimum amount that must be bet and the
maximum that can be bet. A Table
object has all the
information required to evaluation these conditions.
Note
Betting Constraints
Casinos prevent the Martingale betting system from working by imposing a table limit on each game. To cover the cost of operating the table game, the casino also imposes a minimum bet. Typically, the maximum is a multiplier of the minimum bet, often in the range of 10 to 50; a table with a $5 minimum might have a $200 limit, a $10 minimum may have only a $300 limit.
It isn’t clear where the responsibility lies for determining winning and
losing bets. The money placed on Bet
instances on the Table
instance
is “at risk” of being lost. If the bet is a winner, the house
pays the Player
object an amount based on the Outcome
object’s
odds and the Bet
object’s amount. If the bet is a loser, the
amount of the Bet
amount is forfeit by the Player
object.
It’s important to see how the behavior of the simulation as a whole emerges from the interaction of the various objects. This question of responsibility is central to all OO design. Indeed, the rich complexity of this simulation stems directly from the complexity of human interactions over wagering.
Looking forward to stateful games like Craps, we’ll place the
responsibility for determining winners and losers with a yet-to-be-defined Game
class,
and not with the Table
object. The Table
class is a passive container
for Bet
instances. The Game
will handle the details of winning
and losing.
We’ll wait, then, until we write the Game
class to finalize paying winning
bets and collecting losing bets.
Winning vs. Losing¶
Another open question is the timing of the payment for the bet from
the player’s stake. In a casino, the payment to the casino – effectively –
happens when the bet is
placed on the table. In our Roulette simulation, this is a subtlety that
doesn’t have any practical consequences. We could deduct the money as
part of Bet
object creation, or we could deduct the money as part of resolving
the spin of the wheel.
In other games, however, there may several events
and several opportunities for placing additional bets. For example, splitting a
hand in Blackjack, or placing additional odds bets in Craps.
We can’t allow a player to bet more than their stake; therefore,
we should deduct the payment as the Bet
instance is created.
A consequence of this is a change to our definition of the Bet
class. We don’t need to compute the amount that is lost. We’re not going
to deduct the money when the bet resolved, we’re going to deduct the money
from the Player
object’s stake as part of creating the Bet
instance.
This will become part of the design of the Player
class and Bet
class.
Looking forward a little, a stateful game like Craps will introduce a
subtle distinction that may be appropriate for a future subclass of Table
.
In Craps, some bets are “not working” or “working” depending on the game
state. Additionally, some Outcome
instances are permitted only
in certain game states. None of this subtlety applies to Roulette, however.
Container Implementation¶
A Table
object holds a collection of Bet
instances.
We need to choose a concrete class for the collection of the bets. We
can review the survey of collections in Design Decision – Choosing A Collection for
some guidance.
In this case, the bets are placed in no particular order, and are simply visited in an arbitrary order for resolution. Bets don’t have specific names.
Since the number of
bets varies, we can’t use a Python tuple
; a list
will have to do. We could also use a set
because duplicate bets
don’t make any sense; the amounts should be combined.
Table Limits¶
Table limits can be checked by providing a public method isValid()
that compares the total of all existing Bet
instances
against the table limit. This should be used by the Game
class
and the Player
class to confirm that bets are legal before proceeding.
In the unlikely event of the Player
object creating an illegal
Bet
instance, this will raise an exception to indicate
that we have a design error that was not detected via unit testing. This
exception should be a subclass of Exception
that has enough
information to debug the problem with the Player
object’s state that
lead to placing an illegal bet.
Each individual Bet
instance must meet the Table
instance minimum.
This is a separate rule that can be checked each time a bet is placed.
Adding and Removing Bets¶
A Table
object contains Bet
instances;
the bets are added by the Player
class. Later,
Bet
instances will be removed from the Table
object by the Game
class.
When a bet is resolved, it must be deleted. Some games, like Roulette
resolve all bets with each spin. Other games, like Craps, involve
multiple rounds of placing and resolving some bets, and leaving other
bets in play.
For bet deletion to work, we have to provide a method to remove a Bet
instance.
When we look at game and bet resolution we’ll return to bet deletion.
It’s import not to over-design this class at this time; we will often
add features as we develop designs for additional use cases.
InvalidBet Exception Design¶
We’ll raise an exception for an invalid bet. This is, in general,
better than having a method which returns True
for a valid bet
and False
for an invalid bet.
Exceptions are better because we can simply place the bet, assuming that it is valid. The processing continues along this “happy path”.
If the bet is not valid, the exception interrupts processing.
The only way to get an invalid bet in Roulette is to have a badly
damaged implementation of the Player
class. We really need
to have the application break in a catastrophic manner.
The general principle is often described as “It’s Easier to Ask Forgiveness Than To Ask Permission.” This is is implemented via exception-handling in Python.
-
exception
InvalidBet
¶ InvalidBet
is raised when aPlayer
instance attempts to place a bet which exceeds the table’s limit.This class simply inherits all features of its superclass.
Roulette Table Design¶
-
class
Table
¶ Table
contains all theBet
instances created by aPlayer
object. A table also has a betting limit, and the sum of all of a player’s bets must be less than or equal to this limit. We assume a singlePlayer
object in the simulation.
Fields¶
-
Table.
limit
¶ This is the table limit. The sum of the bets from a
Player
object must be less than or equal to this limit.
-
Table.
minimum
This is the table minimum. Each individual bet from a
Player
object must be greater than this limit.
Constructors¶
Methods¶
-
Table.
placeBet
(self, bet: Bet) → None -
Adds this bet to the list of working bets.
We’ll reserve the idea of raising an exception for an individual invalid bet. This is a rare circumstance, and indicates a bug in the
Player
class more than anything else.We might, for example, confirm that the bet’s
Outcome
instance exists in one of theBin
instances. We might check that the bet amount is greater than or equal to the table minimum. We might also check the upper limit on betting will be honored by all existing bets plus this new bet.It’s not necessary to validate each bet as they’re being placed. It’s only necessary to validate the bets prior to spinning the wheel. This can be a feature of the
Game
class.For an interactive game – not a simulation – we would want to validate each bet prior to accepting it so that we can provide an immediate response to the player that the potential bet is invalid. In this case, we’d leave the table untouched when a bad bet is offered.
-
Table.
__iter__
() → Iterator[Bet] Returns an iterator over the available list of
Bet
instances. This simply returns the iterator over the list ofBet
objects.Note that we need to be able remove bets from the table. Consequently, we have to update the list, which requires that we create a copy of the list. This is done with
self.bets[:]
.This special method is invoked by the
iter()
built-in function.- Returns
iterator over all bets
-
Table.
__str__
(self) → str Return an easy-to-read string representation of all current bets.
-
Table.
__repr__
(self) → str¶ Return a representation of the form
Table(bet, bet, ...)
.
Note that we will want to segregate validation as a separate method, or sequence of methods. This is used by the Game just prior to spinning the wheel (or rolling the dice, or drawing a next card.)
-
Table.
isValid
(self) - Raises
InvalidBet
if the bets don’t pass the table limit rules.
Applies the table-limit rules:
The sum of all bets is less than or equal to the table limit.
All bet amounts are greater than or equal to the table minimum.
If there’s a problem an
InvalidBet
exception is raised.
Roulette Table Deliverables¶
There are three deliverables for this exercise. Each of these will have complete Python docstring comments.
An
InvalidBet
exception class. This is a simple subclass ofException
.Since there’s no unique programming here, the unit test for the
InvalidBet
exception. is pretty simple. Indeed, it can seem silly to be sure that this class works with theraise
statement; however, failure to extendException
would lead to a program that more-or-less worked until a faultyPlayer
class caused the invalid bet situation.The
Table
class.A class which performs a unit test of the
Table
class. The unit test should create at least two instances ofBet
, and establish that theseBet
instances are managed by the table correctly.
Looking Forward¶
We deferred the question of winning and losing to a Game
class.
Previously, we’ve used the rather ambiguous name Game
. As we move forward,
it’s time to rethink the name and be more specific about the class.
In the next chapter we’ll look at the definition of the Roulette game as a whole.

It has been quite succesful at having many teenagers register to the club due the fact that they are alot more laid back compared to other clubs.
In recent years, the club has been changed to the point where both teens and none teens are part of the club. With this, the club has become quite competitive in the local competitions and even the inter-dictrict competitions.

Next, you'll create a simple element that displays an icon.
In this step, you'll learn about:
Let's create icon-toggle.html
in app/elements/
folder. This
file contains the skeleton of a custom element.
Unlike most HTML files, this file won't display anything if you load it in a browser—it just
defines a new element. The demo you just ran imports icon-toggle.html
so
it can use the <icon-toggle>
element. As you add features to the element in the following
steps, they'll show up in the demo.
Now we need to import Polymer library and another custom element called iron-icon
that you'll use later
in this step:
<link rel="import"
href="../bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import"
href="../bower_components/iron-icon/iron-icon.html">
Next is the definition of the element itself:
<dom-module id="icon-toggle">
<template>
<style>
/* Element's styles */
:host {}
</style>
<!-- Element's body -->
</template>
<script>
// Elements scripts
</script>
</dom-module>
<dom-module>
tag is an optional part of the element definition. It defines the
element's internal DOM structure, or local DOM as well as the element's local styling. In this case, you're
creating an element called icon-toggle
.
<template>
defines the element's local DOM structure. This is where you'll add
markup for your custom element.
<style>
element inside the <template>
lets you define styles
that are scoped to the local DOM, so they don't affect the rest of the document.
:host
pseudo-class matches the custom element you're defining (in this case, the <icon-toggle>
).
This is the element that contains or hosts the local DOM tree.
At the end of the element definition is some JavaScript that registers the element. If the element has a <dom-module>
,
this script is usually placed inside the <dom-module>
to keep everything
together.
<script>
// Elements scripts
Polymer({
/* this is the element's prototype */
is: 'icon-toggle'
});
</script>
Polymer
call registers the element so it's recognized by the browser.
is
property on the prototype is the new element's name. It has to match the
id
on the <dom-module>
that contains the element's template.

I believe there is a god, but I don't believe in a god. I don't really know how the universe was created, but from what I've
learned by numerous science classes, science proves there is an intelligent designer. I may not know who that designer is, nor do i like them very much
but I believe in a designer, I guess.
Being a human being is to love.
Reincarnation seems very possible to me. The idea of being able to start over and over again is just beautiful to me. This explains a lot. It explains why some people are born with
disabilities. It explains why people have to suffer. But mostly, it explains how sometimes when you meet someone and you just click. Like, their soul is just so familiar. It's as if you danced
and laughed and drank together in a prior life. I don't know, but I've experienced a lot of things in my life that point directy to reincarnation.

About Me
Hi! I am a student at the UCLA Extension's fullstack web development bootcamp. I am excited to learn more about the field and get into development. Here is what I am learning:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- jQuery, Express.js, React.js, Node.js
- Progressive Web Apps, Agile Methodology, Computer Science
- Database Theory, MongoDB, MySQL, Git
- Python, Java, C#
- Amazon Web Services
Additionally, while I seek to acquire the skills of a developer, my main goal is to become a better Product Manager. I hope to use my compter science training to be able to communicate better with developers and also estimate the time and resources needed to complete a project.
Thank you for visiting my website!

Weekly Meeting: 2015-05-20
20th May 2015: TLS release progress, Mirage.io, Jitsu and Irmin
Agenda
- Quality and Test
- TLS release planning
- Mirage.io status
- Jitsu status update
- Irmin sync from browser
- Docs on XenProject
- 3.0 Planning
Attendees: Reynir Björnsson, Amir Chaudhry (chair), Thomas Gazagnaire, David Kaloper, Masoud Koleini, Thomas Leonard, Hannes Mehnert, Richard Mortier, Dave Scott, Balraj Singh, Anil Madhavapeddy, Jon Ludlum, Jeremy Yallop and Mindy Preston
Notes
Quality and Test
Mindy has written some tests for networking and they’re passing. A point was made that they could be functorised. Other tests that force error loops would also be useful. For example, the ‘while true curl’ route? There’s also the desire to be able to run tests on live sites (e.g. mirage-www). For example, something like http-perf when a new kernel is booted? Mindy suggested something that Anil would look into.
We’ve also noticed an issue with https://mirage.io as it goes unresponsive after few days. We’re not really sure what the issue is but it’s not strictly within the the TLS stack (Piñata and handshake server have been fine). If anyone else can stress test what’s going on, that would be very useful.
TLS release planning
We’ll soon be doing a set of releases that are related to native TLS support. We do need more tests and deployments of the combined stack because right now there are only two deployments that are providing feedback. We really need more people to try this out and report feedback.
Some of the releases will involve fixing conduit
patches and changing the
mirage
tool to adapt to new the API. There was also one person on the opam
repository who complained about issues around zarith. Hannes has a PR to fix
this and it also works on his Cubieboard. The other big thing to deal with is
mirage-entropy-xen
.
Anil had some ideas on how to fix the launchpad PPA for binutils
and gcc
.
The workaround is ok for now but the main thing is to make sure it doesn’t
affect other packages in opam.
A TLS tunnel unix binary is also in production to replace stunnel
. It’s
almost a slot-in replacement but has a slightly different CLI. It’s worth
trying out now and Dave said he’d take a look.
The TLS stack has been deployed on https://realworldocaml.org and Anil has found that it’s been rock solid for weeks. Balraj couldn’t get it to work from Chrome from a hotel connection from his laptop. This was probably a transient issue or due to odd middle-box behaviour.
The Logjam attack was also announced in the morning and the team is checking over things to understand how it affects us (if at all, since we don’t support ‘export’). You can follow the discussions at mirleft/ocaml-tls#271.
Mirage.io status
This is running a unikernel with the TLS stack. Also running its own DNS servers again, which means it’s back to being fully self-hosted (hasn’t been that way for 6 months). There are patches to submit to TCP/IP.
Jitsu status update
Jitsu itself seems to be working well - Magnus has been running a public, low-traffic DNS server ever since NSDI. A few minor bugs have been discovered but nothing major so far. We questioned whether there was a way to to use Jitsu on XenServer. This might be possible on the development version but probably not on the currently released version.
Irmin sync from browser
Irmin sync in the browser is now working! It’s going to a memory store on
Unix using Irmin native. ThomasL had to patch bin_prot
as apparently it
didn’t like being turned into JavaScript. Everyone should be able to check it
out and test it.
There are some serialisation issues though. When you serialise a value in Irmin it doesn’t include length so you can’t compose them. This is fixable and ThomasG will go and check it. We should make sure to upstream the various patches too.
Docs on XenProject
It’s important that we put some content on the Xen Project wiki pages about MirageOS. A number of newcomers find out about MirageOS via Xen Project, yet the content on the wiki there is quite limited and also out of date. The best approach is probably to put some stable content there and point people to the docs page on our own site at: http://openmirage.org/docs — Amir will look at this over the coming weeks.
3.0 Planning
We have more tests and more quality libraries. Continuing the efforts around test would be great and we should think of this as being the ‘production-ready’ release.
Beyond 3.0, it would be great to be in a position to support multiple backends. We’ll be able to think about this once all the details of compatibility become clearer. OCamlJava would be one of the things to think about but this is necessarily a longer term effort.
–
AoB
-
Regarding some of the (TCP) patches, we note that
libvirt
doesn’t support command line arguments. Perhaps we can ask Dave about this. Might even be worth getting in touch to see if they can add this. -
Security mailing list — We’ve internally discussed the need for a lightweight security advisory process, so this should be added to list of items before release.
-
Cross-compilation: This is going well. Question about when we drop 4.01 support. Not clear that anyone is tied to 4.01 for production code. May well be that MirageOS 3.0 will be the one to drop 4.01 support but will need to define a cut off date. Must also comprehensively replace camlp4, which is necessary to improve the situation on ARM. The cutoff should be defined when all our libs are released using
ppx
instead, with the same functionality — cf. typeconv from JaneStreet. -
The next call is scheduled for Wednesday, 3rd June. Please add any agenda items you wish to discuss in advance and refer to the mailing list for actual details a day or so in advance.


Pope demands tech companies prevent kids from viewing porn
by The Associated PressVATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis is demanding that Facebook, Apple, Google and other tech companies urgently take measures to remove child porn from the web and to prevent children from accessing pornography online.
Francis told a Vatican conference of religious leaders and high-tech representatives Thursday that it’s no longer acceptable to merely follow the law in monitoring online content, since technology is fast outpacing regulation.
Rather, he demanded that companies themselves assume a moral responsibility to protect young people from what he said were the ruinous effects of pornography on their emotional and sexual development.
He said: “There is a need to ensure that investors and managers remain accountable, so that the good of minors and society is not sacrificed to profit.”
Francis was addressing participants at the conference “Promoting Digital Child Dignity.”

THE SWEET HEREAFTER A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ****
For he led us, he said, to a joyous land, Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew, And flowers put forth a fairer hue, and everything was strange and new.
-Robert Browning, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"
THE SWEET HEREAFTER could serve as a textbook example of the difference between television movies and "real" movies. Consider for a moment what a television producer would do with a book that features a fatal school bus accident and a lawyer out to sign up the bereaved -- lots of hot sensationalism interrupted with breaks to sell beer and toothpaste.
Top-flight writer and director Atom Egoyan delivers instead a film with tremendous power whose most notable trait is its touching subtlety. Based on a respected book of the same name by author Russell Banks, the movie represents a rethinking of the story's structure, not merely a literal adaptation of the novel. Told in linear form by four narrators in the book, Egoyan's version happens instead in overlapping time sequences and without a narrator. The author is even on record as applauding Egoyan's changes.
In the press notes the book's author describes the story as "a parable of lost children." He says it asks what a town does in the absence of its children. Picking up on this, Egoyan has a flashback in which a sitter, Nicole Burnell, played with grace by Sarah Polley, reads parts of "The Pied Piper" from an old, illustrated book to her two charges. Periodically throughout the picture, Nicole's readings are heard in voice-over. You have never heard this moving poem read so sweetly or in such an appropriate moment. They and the rest of the town's children come into harm's way -- some live and others are seriously injured. And the entire small Canadian town where the accident occurs is never the same again. Although the physical damage is inflicted mainly on the children, the adults bear the emotional scars of the loss.
Ian Holm, in arguably the best performance of his distinguished career, plays Mitchell Stephens, an intense man of quiet misery. Mitchell is the outsider in the story set in a small, snow-encrusted community in the British Columbian wilderness. His mission there is a singular one, to sign up the parents so that he can sue someone, anyone, on their behalf. If this seems crass, well it is, but Mitchell approaches his job with the dedication of a religious zealot.
The story unfolds slowly and always believably. Each little aspect has its own fascination. As Mitchell interviews Wendell and Rita Walker, played with quiet realism by Maury Chaykin and Alberta Watson, he has a simple task. He wants them to suggest some model couple in the village who has a lost a child so that he can use that couple to form the basis of the suit. Wendell ticks off one town member after another and then, as one can in a small town, enumerates each person's numerous faults.
Although the town is no Peyton Place, people there do have their foibles. One of the best parents in the town appears to be Billy Ansell (Bruce Greenwood), who rides his pickup behind the school bus everyday just so he can wave good-bye to his kids. Well, single parent Billy's fault is that he has regularly scheduled trysts with the married Rita. His confessions to Rita about his feelings of loss are one of the many heartfelt outpourings in the story.
The accident itself, a simple one of a bus hitting a patch of ice, isn't shown until the middle of the picture, but, nevertheless, the mystery about it builds throughout the film. Although the picture is no detective story, finding out exactly what happened is a subtheme in a movie that is primarily a character study of a town gripped by tragedy.
As the injured bus driver, Gabrielle Rose, Dolores Driscoll plays the role of a dedicated individual who loves kids with a passion and for whom the tragedy takes on special meaning.
To round out the story, Mitchell has his own private tragedy to bear. His daughter Zoe (Caerthan Banks) is a drug addict who has bounced in and out of one half-way house and recovery center after another. Fond of calling her dad on his cell phone so she can ask for money or help, she interrupts him at many emotionally charged moments as he attempts to sign up the townsfolk. ("I can help you," Mitchell tries to reassure Billy. "Not unless you can raise the dead," Billy snaps back. Mitchell's pitch is never an easy one and worrying about Zoe only makes it harder.)
Mychael Danna's haunting music sets the stage for tragedy. The cinematography by Paul Sarossy is sweeping in its outdoor grandeur, but it is in the warm, shadowy, intimate moments indoors where it works best.
The show, which is ripe for emotional manipulation, never plays with its audience. Still, when the house lights go up, you may feel as I did. I could barely breathe; I was so overcome by the sum total of what I had witnessed.
 Each cinematic brush stroke is carefully laid down by Egoyan with the beauty building with each dollop of paint. With the final color in place, the masterpiece is complete, and the ending credits roll.
THE SWEET HEREAFTER runs 1:50. It is rated R for mature themes, sexuality and some profanity and would be fine teenagers.

Crocheting, The Golden Age of TV


The world wide web is a collection of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) documents where hyperlinks connect documents. HTML is how you link various content to your webpage, including images and video.
Browsers, like Firefox and Chrome, make requests for webpages and documents via the internet to servers using HTTP. The servers, which are computers optimized for hosting files, respond with a file that the browser then displays.
In HTML, there are two primary categories - text content and mark up. Text content is what the visitor to the webpage will see, while mark up is the arrangement of that content. Mark up includes references to other documents. These documents can include images and videos. For instance, the Udacity classroom webpage has a reference to youtube video in the middle.
Websites should be thought of like houses. The structure and walls of your house is the HTML. The decorations, carpeting, and paint is the CSS. Your interactive and changeable features, like the garage door opener, is Java. Just like in how families have rules for how their house functions, there are rules for the behavior of websites.
Elements in HTML are in a tree like structure, where you will have elements inside of other elements inside of other elements. This ever branching structure allows for complexity inside of a hierarchical structure that can be fairly easily read using the opening and closing tags of the elements.
HTML and CSS are both languages. HTML controls the structure of a webpage, functioning as syntax and rules. The basic word of HTML is tag, < >, which the browser uses to create the elements in your tree, also called the "DOM", Document Object Model.
CSS controls the style and looks of a page. Using CSS, programmers can change how HTML elements look on the page. An HTML document uses a special section to define the CSS for the page, making it easier for the programmer in that you don't have to duplicate and replicate the same style setting for each individual block or element if they are similar. CSS automates the style for the programmer, after the initial set up and definitions.
 Why? Boxes allow for easy repositioning depending on browser size and user experience. Most webpages will have boxes inside of other boxes with the larger boxes being key features like the header, the middle, and featured hyperlinks to other content.
Although perfect practice makes perfect, in programming, repetition creates more work, and opportunities for validation errors, in the long run. Instead of having to style each individual paragraph or thought in HTML, CSS allows the programmer the freedom to style many like objects at the same time. In case of future design change for the website, the programmer who uses CSS will only need to make changes to the styling and decorations instead of the structure and content of the site. These style changes will also impact the entire document simultaniously, rather than the programmer needing to go element by element to make style changes.
Repetition increases the chances of careless errors. By using CSS to style websites, programmers can make drastic changes to the looks of the website more simply and without jeopardizing the structure.


To define routes for your server, use the get
, post
, put
and del
methods. Here’s an example:
// app/mirage/config.js
this.get('/api/users', function() {
return ['Link', 'Zelda', 'Epona'];
})
Now, when your Ember app makes a GET request to /api/users
, it will receive this data.
Each verb method has the same signature. The first argument is the path (URL) and the second is the actual function handler that returns the response:
this.verb( path, handler )
Here’s some more examples:
this.get('/users/current', function() {
return {
name: 'Zelda',
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>};
});
this.get('/events', function() {
var events = [];
for (var i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
events.push({ id: i, value: Math.random()});
};
return events;
});
In the examples above, we wrote the response data directly in the route. Instead of doing this, Mirage provides a simple in-memory database you can use to make your routes more versatile.
The database is injected into each route handler as the first parameter:
this.get('/api/users', function(db) {
return db.users;
});
Now, Mirage will respond to this route with all the user
records in its database. To seed your database with data, you’ll use fixtures (in development) or factories (in testing).
As long as all your Mirage routes read from and write to the database, user interactions will persist during a single session. This lets users interact with your app as if it were wired up to a real server.
View the full database API to see how your routes can interact with your data.
A request object is also injected into each handler, as the second parameter. This object contains data associated with the request, like dynamic route segments and query params.
To define a route that has a dynamic segment, use colon syntax (:segment
) in your path. The dynamic piece will be available via request.params.[segment]
:
this.get('/api/users/:id', function(db, request) {
var id = request.params.id;
return db.users.find(id);
})
Query params from the request can also be accessed via request.queryParams.[param]
.
Data that’s included in the message body of the request is accessible via request.requestBody
. For example, if your app creates a user resource via a POST request that includes some JSON data, your route handler may look like this:
this.post('/api/users', function(db, request) {
var attrs = JSON.parse(request.requestBody);
var user = db.users.insert(attrs);
return user;
});
Mirage uses Pretender.js to intercept HTTP requests, so check out its docs to see the full API for the request object.
JSON APIs have become more standardized, so Mirage has the concept of shorthands to deal with common API scenarios. These shorthands can replace many of your custom route handlers, dramatically simplifying your server definition.
For example, a GET request to /api/users
typically returns a list of users. Instead of writing out the mock by hand
this.get('/api/users', function(db, request) {
return {
users: db.users
};
});
we can use the shorthand form
this.get('/api/users');
Similarly, creating a resource manually looks like this
this.post('/api/users', function(db, request) {
var attrs = JSON.parse(request.requestBody);
var user = db.users.insert(attrs);
return user;
});
but with a shorthand it looks like this:
this.post('/api/users');
View the shorthand reference to see all available shorthands.
By default, Mirage sets the HTTP code of a response based on the verb being used:
get
is 200put
is 204post
is 201del
is 204Additionally, a header for Content-type
is set to application/json
. You can customize both the response code and headers by returning an instance of Mirage.Response
:
this.post('/api/users', function(db, request) {
var data = JSON.parse(request.requestBody);
if (data.name) {
return db.users.insert(data);
} else {
return new Mirage.Response(400, { some: 'header' }, { message: 'name cannot be blank' });
}
});
Be sure to import Mirage from 'ember-cli-mirage'
at the top of your config file.
That’s the essentials of defining your routes. Next, you’ll learn how to seed your database with some starting data, both in development and testing.

Date: Wed, 05 Nov 1997 16:59:34 -0800 From: Rick Jones<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Reply-To<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Organization: Network Performance Subject: HP-UX tuning tipsHere are some tuning tips for HP-UX to add to the tuning page.
For HP-UX 9.X: Upgrade to 10.20
For HP-UX 10.[00|01|10]: Upgrade to 10.20
For HP-UX 10.20:
Install the latest cumulative ARPA Transport Patch. This will allow you to configure the size of the TCP connection lookup hash table. The default is 256 buckets and must be set to a power of two. This is accomplished with adb against the *disc* image of the kernel. The variable name is tcp_hash_size.
How to pick the value? Examine the output of ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/connhist and see how many total TCP connections exist on the system. You probably want that number divided by the hash table size to be reasonably small, say less than 10. Folks can look at HP's SPECweb96 disclosures for some common settings. These can be found at http://www.specbench.org/. If an HP-UX system was performing at 1000 SPECweb96 connections per second, the TIME_WAIT time of 60 seconds would mean 60,000 TCP "connections" being tracked.
Folks can check their listen queue depths with ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/misc/listenq.
If folks are running Apache on a PA-8000 based system, they should consider "chatr'ing" the Apache executable to have a large page size. This would be "chatr +pi L <BINARY>." The GID of the running executable must have MLOCK privileges. Setprivgrp(1m) should be consulted for assigning MLOCK. The change can be validated by running Glance and examining the memory regions of the server(s) to make sure that they show a non-trivial fraction of the text segment being locked.
If folks are running Apache on MP systems, they might consider writing a small program that uses mpctl() to bind processes to processors. A simple pid % numcpu algorithm is probably sufficient. This might even go into the source code.
If folks are concerned about the number of FIN_WAIT_2 connections, they can use nettune to shrink the value of tcp_keepstart. However, they should be careful there - certainly do not make it less than oh two to four minutes. If tcp_hash_size has been set well, it is probably OK to let the FIN_WAIT_2's take longer to timeout (perhaps even the default two hours) - they will not on average have a big impact on performance.
There are other things that could go into the code base, but that might be left for another email. Feel free to drop me a message if you or others are interested.
sincerely,

Cross-platform Comparison of Highly Sensitive Immunoassay Technologies for Cytokine Markers: Platform Performance in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Parkinson's Disease
Publications: Cross-platform Comparison of Highly Sensitive Immunoassay Technologies for Cytokine Markers: Platform Performance in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Parkinson's Disease
Cytokine X. Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2020; DOI link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cytox.2020.100027
Authors: Heather C. Lasseter, Allison C. Provost, Lauren E. Chaby, Nikolaos P. Daskalakis, Magali Haas, Andreas Jeromin
Abstract: There is mounting evidence of systemic inflammation in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet inconsistency and a lack of replicability in findings of putative biological markers have delayed progress in this space. Variability in performance between platforms may contribute to the lack of consensus in the biomarker literature, as has been seen for a number of psychiatric disorders, including PTSD. Thus, there is a need for high-performance, scalable, and validated platforms for the discovery and development of biomarkers of inflammation for use in drug development and as clinical diagnostics. To identify the best platform for use in future biomarker discovery efforts, we conducted a comprehensive cross-platform and cross-assay evaluation across five leading platform technologies. This initial assessment focused on four cytokines that have been implicated PTSD – interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ .... To assess platform performance and understand likely measurements in individuals with brain disorders, serum and plasma samples were obtained from individuals with PTSD (n = 13) or Parkinson’s Disease (n = 14) as well as healthy controls (n = 5). We compared platform performance across a number of common analytic parameters, including assay precision, sensitivity, frequency of endogenous analyte detection (FEAD), correlation between platforms, and parallelism in measurement of cytokines using a serial dilution series. The single molecule array (Simoa™) ultra-sensitive platform (Quanterix), MESO V-Plex (Mesoscale Discovery), and Luminex xMAP® (Myriad) were conducted by their respective vendors, while Luminex® and Quantikine® high-sensitivity ELISA assays were evaluated by R&D System’s Biomarker Testing Services. The assay with the highest sensitivity in detecting endogenous analytes across all analytes and clinical populations (i.e. the highest FEAD), was the Simoa™ platform. In contrast, more variable performance was observed for MESO V-plex, R&D Luminex® and Quantikine®, while Myriad’s Luminex xMAP® exhibited low FEAD across all analytes and samples. Simoa™ also demonstrated high precision in detecting endogenous cytokines, as reflected in < 20 percent coefficient of variance (%CV) across replicate runs for samples from the healthy controls, PTSD patients, and PD patients. In contrast, MESO V-Plex, R&D Luminex® and Quantikine® had variable performance in terms of precision across cytokines. Myriad Luminex xMAP® could not be included in precision estimates because the vendor did not run samples in duplicate. For cross-platform performance comparisons, the highest cross-platform correlations were observed for IL-6 such that all platforms – except for Myriad’s Luminex xMAP® – had strong correlations with one another in measurements of IL-6 (r range = 0.59 – 0.86). For the other cytokines, there was low to no correlation across platforms, such that reported measurements of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ varied across assays. Taken together, these findings provide novel evidence that the choice of immunoassay could greatly impact reported cytokine findings. The current study provides crucial information on the variability in performance between platforms and across immunoassays that may help inform the selection of assay in future research studies. Further, the results emphasize the need for performing comparative evaluations of immunoassays as new technologies emerge over time, particularly given the lack of reference standards for the quantitative assessments of cytokines.

This sample shows you how you can use region states to let Spry manage when specific markup gets displayed.
In the table below, there are 7 dynamic regions. The first 4 are bound to individual data sets, the last three are bound to all, or some of the data sets. Notice that when you initially load this page, or if you press the "Reload" button below, that the markup in each region automatically switches between showing a loading message and either displaying data or displaying an error message.
Notice that all of the regions that depend on dsBad, all show error messages after loading, and that all regions that depend on data sets that successfully loaded display data.
The "Loading", "Error", "Ready", "Custom 1", and "Custom 2" buttons below allow you to manually switch each dynamic region into a specific state.
The built-in region states that are automatically triggered are:
The state of a region can be set manually with a call to setState(). If a region is called with a "custom" state that the region does not support, the setState() is ignored.

You don't have to provide markup for all states:
This will show up on error --> An error occurred!
This will show on custom1 --> Custom 1 State
The RSS Reader Demo gives a real-world use example of region states.

The class CheckedData is useful for net testing. You can fill a data payload with checked random data and verify its integrity.
class CheckedData
{
PlatformRandom random;
uint8 start_sum;
public:
CheckedData();
ulen getLen(ulen max_len);
bool fill(PtrLen<uint8> data);
bool check(PtrLen<const uint8> data) const; // random is not used
};
The method getLen() selects the random length from 2 to max_len. max_len should be > 2 . If the max_len <= 2, the max_len is always returned.
fill() fills the given byte range with checked random data. It is expected, the range lengtn is >= 2 . Otherwise, the method does nothing and returns false.
check() checks the data range and returns true, if it is correct. random is not used in this method, so this method is multi-thread safe.
