If you have an even number of columns that need to be centered, you can use the "centered" class, or you can use column offsets. What about when you have an odd-sized column, though? You should stick to the "centered" class.
.three.columns.centered
.six.columns.centered
.nine.columns.centered
.twelve.columns.centered
This is an example of a block grid inside of a centered column within a row. Block grids are confined to the size of the parent element, so you can make and use a block grid anywhere within your website layout.

Even though the above examples are meant to demonstrate the typography of the header sizes, you should know that they also reveal a convenient way to center columns. Instead of using the "centered" class, you can just specify a column size and an offset size. For example, the columns which contain the header text above are ".eight.columns.offset-by-two". The two-column offset dissappears and the columns are displayed full-width when the screen gets narrow enough. Cool!

6.4. cogsci#
Some notes on a computational perspective on cognitive science.
6.4.1. nativism, empiricism#
cogsci “inverse problem” - give world, how do we form representations
like cv, given pixels, how do we understand world?
historical cognitive dev: how do we form representations?
nativism - plato - representation w/out learning
empiricism - aristotle - learning w/out representation
constructivism - jean piaget - cognitive development
types
assimilation - start with schema, which tells you how to act
accomodation - adjust schema based on what you see
equilibration - everything set
periods
sensorimotor
preoperational
concrete operational
formal operational
0 - 18 months
18 months - 5 years
5 years - adolescence
adolescence and beyond
problems
dev. is domain-specific and variable
when measured better, children show earlier competence
doesn’t specify learning methods
contemporary theories
nativism - core knowledge or modules
plato, descartes
chomsky - language acuquisition device
spelke, tenenbaum - core knowledge of domains
constraint nativism vs. starting-state nativism
empiricism - connectionism, dynamic systems, associationism
aristotle, david hume
behaviorism - led to rl
connectionists - mclelland, karmiloff-smith
dynamic systems - thelen and smith
emergentist appproach - complex behavior is emergent from simple neural properties
john locke
deep learning
constructivism - “the theory theory” (children are scientists), probabilistic models
carey, wellman, gelman, gopnik
structural features: abstract, coherent, causal, hierarchical
theories change in response to evidence
changes may take place at multiple levels
playing
perhaps bayesian learning
information-processing - memory changes over time etc.
siegler
socio-cultural influences - children learn from society / culture
vyogotsky
unanswered questions
search problem: how do children search through all possible hypotheses? sampling?
conceptual change problem: how is radical change in representations possible
counterfactual - relating to or expressing what has not happened or is not the case
e.g. If kangaroos had no tails, they would topple over
6.4.2. probabalistic causal models#
abstract representations that provide computational accounts of causal inference
at marr’s highest level: computation
how much do we need to build in?
dna can build in things that are hard to learn
start with nothing built in, ex. deep learning (connectionism)
start with best possible learning algorithm and ask what you need to build in (bayesian modeling)
bayes rule Bayesian: \(\overbrace{p(\theta | x)}^{\text{posterior}} = \frac{\overbrace{p(x|\theta)}^{\text{likelihood}} \overbrace{p(\theta)}^{\text{prior}}}{p(x)}\) where x is data and \(\theta\) are hypotheses
ask what priors explain people’s inferences
humans make very causal priors - restricts hypothesis space of possible bayesian networks
hierarhical model - get prior from something (e.g. know all bags contain same color)
what develops over time?
bayesian doesn’t really tell us this - just has probabilities evolve over time
real life we come up with new hypotheses
what representations do we use?
6.4.3. deep rl#
<IP_ADDRESS>. dl basics#
what does an NN do?
universal function approximator
feature learning view - learn features that separate classes linearly
saxe….ng 2010 compared statistics of primary cortical receptive fields and receptive field plasticity
vision + audio + somatosensory - statistics seem to line up with neuroscience
a single algorithm?
ex. seeing with your tongue
ex. blind people echolocating
ex. ferret optic nerve rewired to auditory system and they learn to still see
lots of inductive bias? or lack of bias?
gabor filters come from deep learning, ica, sparse coding, k-means - come from data, not necessarily algorithm
maybe this is only true for gabor filters though
bigger and simpler with residuals seems to work best
sequence tasks - lstm started being replaced with “attention is all you need” (attention is basically a dot product)
differentiable neural computer didn’t seem to work all that well - tried to build in too much
some inductive bias has worked: cnn, lstm
structure
structure is very dependent on optimization
depth seems to help
compositionality
increase in representational power?
information theoretic arguments
low-data regimes: few-shot recognition doesn’t work (see Lake, Salakhutidinov, Tenenbaum 2013)
one type of meta-learning for few-shot learning
split data set into tiny train / test blocks and learn to do few-shot learning on these
got really good at this (especially for omniglot)
deep learning: less structure + more data = better results
alternative view - not necessarily dl
very unconstrained function class + right learning algorithm + right supervision = better results
optimization methods master (is sgd “conveniently” Bayesian?)
ex. everything that works works because it’s Bayesian blog post
structure of natural dat amatters
source of supervision really matters
maybe function class doesn’t really matter
<IP_ADDRESS>. supervision#
unsupervised learning: learn \(p_\theta (x)\)
overview
pull out features/representation and use them for other tasks
recognize novel / unexpected events
hallucinate
can use all available data
often has principled, prob. interpretation
hard to use effectively
deep belief networks (~2006) - built on restricted Boltzmann machine (both a NN and a graphical model)
RBM = markov field with binary variables and connections between but not within layers
originally trained layerwise
properties
each neuron is (binary) random variable, so we can sample
hard to train
unsupervised gd (2012-2014) - sparse/denoising/bottleneck autoencoder
ex. if you have linear encoder/decoder with bottleneck, then you get pca
ex. denoising - blur image and ask it to learn to clean it up
learns something about the manifold that represents a class / the correct data
ex. variational autoencders (Kingma & Welling 2013)
network encoder x->z & decoder z->x
force z to be spherical Gaussian (ex. add noise to make it spherical Gaussian (with learned variance) - KL divergence regularizer between output and spherical Gaussian)
then, we can sample z from spherical Gaussian and decoder will give us nice looking x
ex. GANs (Goodfewllow 2014)
“implicit” density model
supervised learning
representations are surprisingly good
labels provide good semantic knowledge
simple backprop training
semi-supervised = self-supervised learning
ex. given patches, tell where they are placed relative to each other (context prediction doersch et al. 2015)
prediction supervised learning (time series)
ex. predict video frames from past video frames
reakes some artistry to figure out objective
reinforcement learning
non-differentiable reward function - doesn’t access to output supervision
supervised learning is a subset of this
3 types (often we do a combination of these together)
direct policy search
prediction of value functions
prediction of future states
can collect data by just exploring world
rl needs more generalization
want more exploration algorithms
train in more settings
ex. approximate bayesian experiment design
6.4.4. objects#
deep deep cnns - not just a chain, combine different layers and maybe represent semantic concepts
iterative deep aggregation - generalizes skip connections - new layers for the skips
adaptive learning - too much dataset bias - imagenet things only work on imagenet
need to know about discrepancy between distributions
GAN - learn adversarial that decides whether a point comes from one domain or another
goal: want both domains to be separable with domains for only one
explainable vision and language agents
image captioning doesn’t mean it actually understands scene
now, people focused on visual question answering
maybe even provide interpretable explanation
preprogram 5 types of modules (ex. find, relate, count, …)
concept vs. category learning
except for NN, need negative examples
learning nouns
strong sampling - pick key examples instead of lots of random examples
bayesian learning can figure out what classes to generalize to
need to assume some ontology
it’s all about the data
face detection - made things really work
learning spectrum: extrapolation (low samples) -> interpolation (high samples - where we are)
extrapolation = linear reg. -> interpolation = nearest neighbor / neural network
nearest neighbors started to work better with more data
explainability doesn’t work if system is fundamentally complicated
natural world has too many examples for interpolation
brain doing nearest neighbors?
capacity of visual long term memory - standing 1973: 10k images, 83% recognition
clap if you see a repetition - you can really remember a lot
AB testing at end - check if you seaw things or not
novel objects: 92%, different examples of same thing: 88%, different states of same thing: 87%
we can’t do this with just textured images though
big boosts come from data, not necessarily the algorithm
word2vec works about same as nearest neighbors embedding
top-down vs bottom-up concept learning
problems with top-down / using labels
can’t ask computer about semantic stuff - it only sees pixels
cool ex. can see a chair by just looking at silhouette of person sitting in it
humans don’t categorize things in binary ways
solns: hierarchy, levels of categories…
used to have to do this (ex. books in a library), but computers don’t have to do this (ex. amazon)
still problematic
intransitivity - car seat is chair, chair is furniture, …
multiple category membership
“ontologies are overrated” blog post
this helps with interpretability, but might be worse overal
start from image (bottom) - use association not categorization
make graph - edges are associations
task: predict what’s behind some blurred out box in an image
6.4.5. language development#
language is interesting problem, lots of children have language difficulties, language might be unique to humans
language is somewhat instinctual
learned via association (John Locke) or by reading people’s intentions (St. Augustine)
behaviorist approach (Skinner) - conditioning, children learn because of adult reinforcement
ex. bird turning to get reward
“meaning” - an association between stimulus and response
progressilve taught more complex utterances
noam chomsky’s ciritique of skinner review (1959)
parents correct truth of utterance, not its grammar
stimulus doesn’t completely determine response
children say things they’ve never heard (e.g. mommy eated the apple)
grammar isn’t a chain of associated words
chomsky: children have innate knowledge
introduces “cognitive revolution” - explain language you need
mental representations
rules that operate on those representations
figure out what is common between all languages
ex. verb agrees with subject
mostly part of speaker’s unconscious knowledge of language
focus on ideal speaker’s competence, not their performance
ex. question formation
poverty of the stimulus - children get this info which doesn’t seem to be in the stimulus
chomsky theory of universal grammar
fixed invariant structural principles because human brain is wired to understand them
nativists - children guided by universal grammar
constructivists - innate general learning mechanisms operate on experience
children use babbling
children use pre-linguistic communication for sharing attention
some children have crib speech - talking to themselves, seems systematic
children have U-curves - use ate, then eated, then back to ate
6.4.6. theory of mind#
theory of mind - human understanding of agents’ mental states and how they shape actions
understand intentional actions - like dots, understand evil, purpose
we can track this month by month
Theory of mind
is rapidly acquired in the normal case
is acquired in an extended series of developmental accomplishments
encompasses several basic insights that are acquired world-wide on a roughly similar trajectory (but not timetable), (4) requires considerable learning and development based on an infant set of specialized abilities to attend to and represent persons, (5) is severely impaired in autism, (6) is severely delayed in deaf children of hearing parents, and (6) results from but also contributes to specialized neural substrates associated with reasoning about agency, experience, and mind
Preschool Theory of Mind, Part 1: Universal Belief-Desire Understanding
6.4.7. lesswrong#
-
cognitive bias can be thought of like statistical bias
base rate neglect: grounding one’s judgments in how well sets of characteristics feel like they fit together, and neglecting how common each characteristic is in the population at large
e.g. if you meet a shy person, are they more likely to be a salesperson or a librarian?
sunk cost fallacy
scope neglect - the number of birds saved—the scope of the altruistic action—had little effect on willingness to pay (post)
availability heuristic - judging the frequency or probability of an event by the ease with which examples of the event come to mind.
absurdity bias; events that have never happened are not recalled, and hence deemed to have probability zero.
conjunction fallacy - humans assign a higher probability to a proposition of the form “A and B” than to one of the propositions “A” or “B” in isolation
The implausibility of one claim is compensated by the plausibility of the other; they “average out.”
planning fallacy - people think they can plan e.g. “best guess” scenarios are same as “best case” scenarios
rationality
epistemic rationality - systematically improving the accuracy of your beliefs.
instrumental rationality - systematically achieving your values.
probability theory, and decision theory
System 1 and System 2—fast perceptual judgments versus slow deliberative judgments. System 2’s deliberative judgments aren’t always true, and System 1’s perceptual judgments aren’t always false; so it is very important to distinguish that dichotomy from “rationality.”

This is an implementation report for the Web Notifications specification.
There is a comprehensive test suite for testable requirements in the Web Notifications spec, and the complete set of test results document that there are two independent implementations (in Chrome and/or Firefox and/or Safari) of all UA requirements in the spec—with the exception of the following:
lang
property, for which the results are
complete failures in all implementing UAs.
Regarding the lack of complete conformance to the WebIDL interface definitions in the spec, that is not an issue unique to this particular spec and in fact is a common issue among a number of specs that have already been published a Recommendations, so the Director has already determined that particular conformance issue need not prevent any spec from proceeding to Rec.
Regarding that corner-case requirement in the spec of handling of
invalid values of lang
property, the details about that
requirement are as follows:
Step 4 at http://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/#dom-notification states a UA
requirement with regard to the value of the Notification.lang property,
whose purpose is to convey the language of a notification. That step
reads, “If options’s lang
is a valid BCP 47 language tag,
or the empty string, set notification’s language to options’s
lang
, or set it to the empty string otherwise.”
Restated, if a Web application tries to set a lang
value
that is not a valid BCP 47 language tag, then according to the spec, the
UA should set the actual lang
property to the empty string.
The actual behavior in all UAs is that that if you use a valid BCP 47 language tag, the UAs behave as you would expect, and set the notification’s language value to the BCP 47 language tag you indicated.
However, if you use a string that is an invalid BCP 47 language tag, no UA follows the spec requirement to set the notification’s language value to the empty string.
Instead it’s all just basically “garbage in, garbage out”: If you use the string “Latn-de”, the UAs will set the notification’s lang value to exactly that—without checking whether it’s a valid BCP 47 value.
So this isn’t really a problem in the normal case, since if Web developers have their Web applications use valid BCP 47 language tags to begin with, everything will work as expected. (And if they set a value that’s not a valid BCP 47 language tag, things aren’t going to work as expected for end users—regardless of what UAs do with it.)
Given that the lang requirement in question emerged originally from discussions with the Internationalization Core (i18n-core) WG, the lack of implementation support was discussed with the i18n-core WG and the resolution of the discussion was essentially that the requirement could be changed in the next (essentially v2) version of the spec, which is already in development (and implicitly that UAs which had already implemented the spec could safely continue to this particular requirement in the v1 spec, as they are already doing now; and further that since we don't expect any further implementations of the v1 spec, that no change to the v1 spec was necessary).
A combined record of tests results for the two conformance cases
described above (the WebIDL conformance issue, and the corner-case
requirement for handling of invalid values of lang
property is
also available.
Finally, it should be noted that neither Microsoft IE nor Microsoft Edge implement any support at all for this version of the Web Notifications spec.


(If you don't care about Zope, you can probably skip this entire post.)
There was a small bit of controversy in the Zope community a while back when Nuxeo announced they were switching from Zope and Python to Java. Nuxeo has been using Zope for a long time, and has been an active part of that community, so this was a fairly major defection. Jean-Marc Orliaguet wrote a critique of Zope which is notable because of how familiar he is with Zope from a technical view, and because as an active member of the community he is somewhat invested in the choices Zope has made. It doesn't read like a condemnation to me, just a critique, though I think some people felt otherwise. (correction: I had previously said that Jean-Marc was associated with Nuxeo, which he isn't)
I don't know Zope that well, though Plone is core to TOPP and so I've been getting a lot more exposure to that environment. I've also been at least aware of many of the techniques they're using, though not how those work in practice (having not practiced them), so Jean-Marc's critique was very interesting to me. And it echos some of what I've been thinking.
This is a long-standing conflict, and I don't have anything to add to it.
This is a tricky one. Every project has to deal with this, and many projects deal with it poorly. Part of Jean-Marc's argument here is that Java makes it very clear what is public and what is not, and what is allowed for and what is not, and so at least it makes it very clear what should be stable and what doesn't need to be stable. I think this is a valid criticism.
But Zope 3 is actually really good here because of their use of interfaces. They are pretty clear about what methods are required, what methods are public. I wish Python had some better conventions around this in general (mostly in terms of documentation), but interfaces are pretty decent.
I'm not a fan of adaptation (more about that later), but I'd like to use interfaces more. I use them here and there, but just in the abstract as documentation. Unfortunately, documentation tools don't understand my interfaces. I don't have a way to declare what interfaces something implements. All sorts of other things. I wish zope.interfaces was a bit lighter, though maybe it is light enough. I actually want language-level support, so everyone could agree on the contentions and build tools around that.
That said, using Five I find the stream of deprecation warnings over the top.
Here Jean-Marc argues that there's lots of code under the zope namespace that doesn't belong there. It's not stable enough, or its APIs aren't stable enough, or its design or architecture is not widely enough applicable or agreed upon.
I personally don't care much about namespaces. Is zope.formlib any more "right" than zope_formlib? Is it any more hierarchical? I don't think so. I have one namespace package, but it's kind of a historical accident. I wouldn't (and don't) put any more libraries under that namespace. Each library should stand on its own, so why create these hierarchies? People read too much into those namespaces, which is happening right here.
As for standards, I agree this is important. In some way adaptation (uh, still more on that later) is a way of sidestepping standards. I think in general Python needs more standard building. Maybe that's true for Zope too, or maybe those standards should be inclusive of the wider Python world that includes Zope.
In the abstract, this is about patterns being unnecessarily built into the environment. Relatedly: this post argues they should be in the language while this reaction says the opposite -- I actually agree with the first post, but in this case agree with Jean-Marc and the second post. I guess I am inconsistent.
But what Jean-Marc actually talks about is specifically adapters and the Zope component architecture.
Adaptation is a useful pattern for dealing with API changes. When you have two isomorphic but incompatible objects, adaptation works great. This happens when there's little API differences (e.g., mixedCase vs underscore_seperated). It starts to become a bit of a stretch at other times. And Zope 3 goes absolutely nuts with this, implementing all sorts of other patterns phrased as adaptation. This is complex and powerful, but in the bad way.
From this, I've seen one-off interfaces that define no methods; interfaces that are just names; adaptation that works on multiple objects; adaptation that works on no object at all (adapting the ether); adaptation in place of attributes... it takes a nice but small idea and just keeps using it and using it until it's worn out and confused.
I could go into specifics, but it might not mean much to lots of you, and I'd probably get the specifics wrong. If it quacks like a duck it's probably a duck. Lots of uses of adaptation don't quack; I don't know what they all are, but they aren't ducks.
This is kind about plugins. A lot of the Zope component architecture is about plugins. It's fairly fine-grained; moreso than I think it needs to be. It's declarative, but with too many declarations.
I think Setuptools' entry points solve a number of similar goals, but in a simpler way. There's still some issues that aren't well solved in either system (actually some of the exact same issues, like plugin activation), but I think Setuptools at least doesn't solve those problems in a simpler way.
To correct Jean-Marc: ZCML is XML. Maybe his real problem is that ZCML is fairly flat (maybe a bit too much like rdf). It's neither a nice syntax (it is after all XML), nor is it a compact XML language.
But the Zope people know about this problem already. I don't think they are entirely sure how to fix it (maybe entry points will help), but I think everyone agrees it needs fixing.
I guess the larger issue is that it's nice to declare things in Python code, but that only works if you import the Python code. So if you have something like an adapter sitting in some code, the system won't know that an adapter could be available if only it imported that code. An entry point version of this might be like:
[zope.interface.adapters] package 1 = mypackage.adapter1 package 2 = mypackage.adapter2
(In this case package 1 doesn't actually mean anything, though maybe some use for that name could be found)
Zope views are confusing to me. I think I don't like them. I think this is probably my biggest issue with Zope 3 development.
 Everytime I see tutorials or descriptions about development in Zope 3, it always seems to begin with the model. "View", from what I can tell, is both "View" and "Controller" (when you are trying to be MVC about it), i.e., the Python controller and the template view. (This is just an explanation, I don't care about the terminology.)
While I respect the distinction between view and model, what bothers me is that the view is an adaptation of the model. I think design should start at the ends, not the means. The model is just a "means". The "ends" is what the user sees -- the HTML, the template, the forms, the functionality. That's where application design should start.
Admittedly, an experienced programmer can bang out a quick model pretty easily, and will do so quite quickly regardless of what the underlying architecture dictates. But I'd rather see a sloppy model that is refined later than a rigid UI built magically by some framework. I think Zope does a bit too much of the second. Perhaps because a number of Zope developers don't actually like HTML, and so want to avoid it through frameworks. I think they just need to get over it.
Jean-Marc doesn't explain much here. I think he is talking about getting things done vs. doing things right, and thinks there's too much doing things right.
We're not working enough together. Sure, I think that's true. But then working together can often get in the way of getting things done, so it's a hard thing to figure out.
Considering Zope 3 is largely a response to the criticisms of Zope 2, I think it's unfair to say Zope 3 doesn't repond to criticism or isn't reflective. I think the problem is that Zope 3 doesn't know what it wants to be. Does it want to be fundamental infrastructure? I think they are tackling far too much at once if they want to do that. Do they want to be a web app development platform? I don't think their architectural choices work that well there; they certainly aren't as expedient or conventional as other frameworks for banging out web apps. Do they want to be a content management framework? Then people should get to work on an actual CMS implementation.

"From this, I've seen one-off interfaces that define no methods; interfaces that are just names; adaptation that works on multiple objects; adaptation that works on no object at all (adapting the ether); adaptation in place of attributes... it takes a nice but small idea and just keeps using it and using it until it's worn out and confused."
While I see the criticism, there is a way to see this in a different light. What you're not saying is that we have names for the different patterns here: marker interfaces, multi-adapters, utilities, annotations. Sometimes adaptation is an implementation detail.
Your criticism also sounds a little bit like a possible criticism of object oriented programming: "one-off objects that define no methods; objects that are composed out of multiple objects; classes that are only ever instantiated once, delegation instead of inheritance... That OO thing is taking one nice but small idea and just keeps using it too much till its worn out and confused."
While of course the Zope 3 patterns haven't proved themselves like the standard OO patterns have, you can argue that using the same basic machinery for a range of different patterns is actually an elegant approach and shows the strength of the concept.
Let's go through the cases you mention:
- interfaces that define no methods; interfaces that are just names - I'm not sure whether there's a difference
between the two? We tend to call these 'marker interfaces'. I'm not sure whether these are very much related to adaptation itself. Adapters typically need some methods on the object to adapt and methods to expose on the adapter itself. I think we may need to a higher level abstraction that describes what you do with these.
- adaptation that works on multiple objects - I can see the criticism of complication. It's also quite powerful, and I think one can succesfully argue this as a general case of adaptation where adaptation of a single object is a special case. A view is an adaptation of an object and a request, for instance. This allows the system to support different types of view altogether (HTTP, WebDAV, etc), skins, and so on.
- adaptation that works on no object at all - we actually call these utilities and we have a special API for them. I think here the use of the adaptation machinery is truly an implementation detail. This is basically pluggable import by interface.
- adaptation in place of attributes - we call these annotations. I think the annotations pattern can be valuable when extending an application without having to modify its classes, though I think it shouldn't be overused.
There's more: views in Zope 3 are also a kind of adapter, and the event system is built on top of adapters as well.

Your criticism also sounds a little bit like a possible criticism of object oriented programming: "one-off objects that define no methods; objects that are composed out of multiple objects; classes that are only ever instantiated once, delegation instead of inheritance... That OO thing is taking one nice but small idea and just keeps using it too much till its worn out and confused."Yeah, I could totally get behind that criticism too. Some of the OO mechanisms (like inheritance) have been overused, particularly in places where the mechanism is convenient but not really a proper metaphor for what's going on.
interfaces that define no methods; interfaces that are just names - I'm not sure whether there's a difference between the two? We tend to call these 'marker interfaces'. I'm not sure whether these are very much related to adaptation itself. Adapters typically need some methods on the object to adapt and methods to expose on the adapter itself. I think we may need to a higher level abstraction that describes what you do with these.I think string names do okay here. I can imagine a more structured way of doing this too, like "marker = Marker('some_useful_identifier')". It's vaguely like an enum. There's other more compact ways to deal with this.
adaptation that works on multiple objects - I can see the criticism of complication. It's also quite powerful, and I think one can succesfully argue this as a general case of adaptation where adaptation of a single object is a special case. A view is an adaptation of an object and a request, for instance. This allows the system to support different types of view altogether (HTTP, WebDAV, etc), skins, and so on.I think generic functions are probably a better for many cases of multiadapters. There's probably several things hanging out in there, but I'm not sure how many are really adaptation. I think adaptation is possible from multiple objects, insofar as the tuple of those objects represents an object of its own (a very light and unnamed object); I'm not sure that I believe that's how it really is working in practice. In other cases, I think Zope leans on adaptation to avoid what could be simple attribute access. E.g., get_controller(some_model_object).webdav_response(request)
adaptation that works on no object at all - we actually call these utilities and we have a special API for them. I think here the use of the adaptation machinery is truly an implementation detail. This is basically pluggable import by interface.This just isn't adaptation at all, even slightly. It's a reasonable function, just not adaptation. Maybe you are adding an API that doesn't look like adaptation? What I've seen still does look like adaptation.
Incidentally, the equivalent thing in Paste is paste.registry, though I've come to dislike proxies and prefer just having simple get_whatever_kind_of_utility(), along with perhaps a get_whatever_kind_of_utility.register(threadlocal_implementation). It took me a while to figure out what utilities were, but after using different threadlocal things I definitely see the pattern. It could also be considered a dynamically-scoped variable (ala *some-variable* in Lisps). with: offers a syntax which works well for this pattern too; anyway, I'd like to see this filter up to a single Python-wide pattern.
adaptation in place of attributes - we call these annotations. I think the annotations pattern can be valuable when extending an application without having to modify its classes, though I think it shouldn't be overused.Annotations are quite interesting, and I can see the utility of adaptation here for supporting multiple backends. Though things like "identity" are a little vague to me, but maybe that would be clearer if I looked more closely at the code.
There's more: views in Zope 3 are also a kind of adapter, and the event system is built on top of adapters as well.Views are reasonable, I think, but I'm not sure. Probably more on that in reply to your other comment.
I'm not that comfortable with the event system, but I haven't seen any one event system that really feels right to me on the whole. It seems like a reasonable event system for Zope, but I don't think I'd be inclined to use it elsewhere. I would prefer an event system where events were named (as is traditional), rather than using interfaces or adaptability to indicate applicability of the event to a listener. That feels less clever to me, and less clever is more good. Though I suppose most events also imply a kind of interface, as most events include arguments, and the meaning of those arguments is a kind of interface for listeners.
# Ian Bicking
You say you can totally get behind that critique of OO. That doesn't mean you think people shouldn't use OO, right? Does it mean you think OO is a simple idea taken too far? Similar to the component architecture, you can use the mechanisms of OO to design things the wrong way with it. It takes experience to know that you shouldn't overuse inheritance, and experience to know that yes, inheritance is actually the easier way to deal with some problems after all and you shouldn't be avoiding it then. We're clearly still gaining experience with appropriate uses of the Zope 3 component architecture.
I'm not sure whether we're talking about the same thing, but to me 'adaptation of nothing at all' sounds like a utility lookup, and we have a getUtility() API for that and various ways to register utilities. Utility lookup is not adaptation, but is implemented on top of the same machinery as that gives us interface-based lookup and a generic pluggable registry. You seem to say that it's wrong to use this machinery as an implementation detail. Why? Perhaps because you haven't seen the utility specific APIs?
Basically Zope 3's component architecture is built on top of the interface machinery. Interfaces have several advantages above strings for lookup purposes - they support a notion of interface inheritance and they are API documentation. The adaptation machinery then provides for a system of registration and pluggability. You can suggest several different potentially simpler mechanisms instead to replace the various patterns, but are you don't sure you won't actually lose elegance and power in that simplification process?
The desire to have a generic lookup and registration machinery comes from our experience with pluggable applications in the Zope 2 context. We have found that we end up with a lot of registry and lookup systems there, all slightly different, and a lot of Python-based code that does all sorts of registration. A single explicit system for lookup and registration becomes very attractive with that experience.
I agree by the way that generic methods are interesting and we should be investigating how they fit in a Zope 3 context.
# Martijn Faassen
On some other criticisms of Zope 3 you mention.
ZCML is indeed XML and I think right now there's too much text and too little it really does. There was a drive towards ZCML simplification in Zope 3 that got a rid of ZCML directives. I think that this was a good initiative, but what is also revealed to me is that what remains of ZCML is not pulling its weight. Too many declarations, indeed. Later this week I'll be at a sprint to see what we can do with that insight. I think the concept of explicit configuration is extremely valuable as a base, but we need good conventions to make it less burdensome.
The other point of criticism that I agree with is that the frontend side of web development needs more emphasis and attention. I think the concept of model-driven user interfaces can be extremely convenient and powerful (just look at what the Plone community is doing with Archetypes, and also with UML-driven development). I also think it sometimes can get in the way, and is not conductive to learning a system and can lead to rigidity in some cases. We're going to look into bringing some template-driven development back into Zope 3 at the sprint I already mentioned. I need to thank you for making this explicit in this and a previous comment on the same topic. I think we were already on the right track in our self-criticism, but you've provided some useful words I can reuse.
While I don't see what this has to do with the word "Pythonic", I do agree with the following: getting things done vs. doing things right, and thinks there's too much doing things right.
I think Zope 3 is in fact in a good place right now. We've focused on doing things right. We have a powerful architecture that focuses on reusable, pluggable components. We can do powerful model-driven development. With interfaces and doctests we have what amounts to a lot of awesome low-level documentation for developers. We have an explicit idea of declarations to hook things up. We're starting to gain a pool of lots of components to reuse when building an application.
Now we need to focus on getting things done. We need to focus on taking this platform and building on it: adding convenience for experienced developers, focusing on reducing verboseness (a consequence of our explicitness and pluggability), and making platform easier to learn and adopt for beginners. I am convinced we can do this: getting things done the right way. We're already in a good place, but let's see where we are a year from now.
# Martijn Faassen
The other point of criticism that I agree with is that the frontend side of web development needs more emphasis and attention. I think the concept of model-driven user interfaces can be extremely convenient and powerful (just look at what the Plone community is doing with Archetypes, and also with UML-driven development).I think that content management systems and web apps are really quite different. You can implement either using the other, but it's probably not worth it. In the case of a CMS you really have to be much more abstract about your models, because you are operating on content objects in generic ways, and you probably have a lot of runtime-extensible parts of the system and UI. For a traditional web app (what someone would build with Rails, for instance) this isn't the case -- the UI is mostly fixed (but heavily designed), and it's not too bad to create ad hoc UI extensibility when the need arises.
I still find it very peculiar that no one seems to be writing a CMS with Zope 3, as that seems like the place where Zope 3 is most applicable.
Anyway, I think it's important to keep the CMS/webapp distinction in mind. Zope was used for webapps a lot back in the days of DTML and through-the-web development. It let developers sidestep lots of problems, and at a time when there wasn't as much collective knowledge about things like deployment and development practices so letting people move forward regardless of those issues was beneficial. But as we all know, that style of development didn't scale to more complex projects. At that point Zope took a turn towards a level of abstraction that is appropriate for a CMS (or for building a CMS), but too complex for banging out webapps.
And perhaps that's just fine. There's a lot of other frameworks that are working hard on the tools for webapp development, and it probably won't be that successful for Zope to try to get in on that directly. There's a lot of opportunities to embed (and be embedded by) those tools, and to use REST-style techniques to communicate between systems. I personally am really drawn to RESTful collaboration between tools because it's so incredibly unclever, crude and explicit and localized... I want to see more of that kind of thing.
# Ian Bicking
"I still find it very peculiar that no one seems to be writing a CMS with Zope 3, as that seems like the place where Zope 3 is most applicable."
There's a simple answer for this: People are writing CMSes with Zope 3. Since we already have a bunch of powerful CMSes in Zope 2, they're doing it with Five in Zope 2. :) There are also some CMS initiatives in Zope 3, but nothing that got really prominent just yet. That will come.
Is it possible that with the ease of reusability of Zope3 components that a CMS isn't even necessary anymore? Instead of "fighting the framework", perhaps "there is no framework." What I find very interesting about Zope3 is that it doesn't really seem to be anything. It's more of a philosophy and a big big bag of (interoperable) components.
# Kevin Smith
I think the CMS-ish focus is a good point. When I first learnt Zope 3, the book I was reading built something CMS-ish and it wasn't immediately obvious to me how to do "floating" templates not bound to a particular context (answer: either make them registered on *, which means "any interface" and you can just invoke them anywhere)
There is a kind of mismatch here, though. I find it very awkward to build certain types of applications in Java, say, because it is so template focused. I make directories inside my WEB-INF directory, and they become part of the URL, like /foo/pages/bar.jsp comes from Webapps/foo/WEB-INF/pages/bar.jsp (yes, I know there are ways to do different URL dispatch, that's not the point). You start from a template that pulls data from some bean, and probably needs a query paramter to know which records to pull out. In a CMS-ish world, I want to represent my content structure in the URLs. This is where Zope makes a lot of sense - you have a model that is essentially hierarhical, and you have registrations that if you visit /foo/bar and bar is of type IBar, then you get the default view on an IBar as registered with Zope, or if you go to /foo/bar/edit.html you get the edit.html view registered for IBar.
If you have no need for that kind of hierarchy, then everything becomes a view on ISiteRoot or even on * (i.e. could be used on any type of object). Then the overhead of those registrations probably feels a bit wrong. Of course there are pages like that in CMF-ish applications too, but the number tends to be reasonably well-contained.
However, I've found that a surprising number of real-world (often business-focused) applications can be modelled quite successfully on the concept of semi-structured content managed hierarchially. This has a lot to do with the fact that this is how people organise the files on their computer, I think.
That debate is somewhat philosophical, and I've always been an advocate of right-tool-for-the-right-job. However, I do feel that Zope 3 offers some very elegant solutions to certain design problems. I quite like that there is a small number of concepts (interfaces, utilities, adapters) that is used widely and quite consistently. On the other hand, I agree that it's probably not the simplest system and requires more up-front investment in the concepts of component oriented development than something more "flat" (which in the extreme case is just PHP).
As for views, what I like a lot about using views is that they give you a very natural place to put the Python code that is essentially your rendering logic. This code prepares simple data structures that the Zope Page Template renders using only basic TAL expressions (render this, make this tag conditional, repeat this tag over this list). Compared to how we used to develop in Zope 2, for example, it's a blessing. I agree that it's often model-driven, and that auto-generated forms are a mixed blessing, but you don't have to use them - we're just all too lazy! ;-)
# Martin Aspeli
Thanks for this comment which is very enlightening about Zope 3 philosophie.
# Alex Garel
Now as to my last comment: I did not interpret JMO's comment as a condemnation. But by saying what Zope 3 can learn from Java and then going into a mix of criticisms of the Zope 3 platform and highlights of the Java platform, I read certain implications into the text that I wanted to make explicit. I got a blanket answer that none of these were intended implications, which shows how bad I am at text comprehension. :)

I have under gone primary, secondary and university education.On my free time I enjoy listening to music and Learning new things from the Internet. Most of my time is spent on my laptop.That is just a tip of the iceberg about me.
Why I decided to take a class on programming?....Its because I enjoy the process of creation that comes with programming and the more languages you know, the more ways you’ll have to think about problems in any language, the more ways you can think, the easier it will be to find interesting ways to solve problems and therefore to have inspiring projects.
Interms of job experience I have only worked as an intern for a company called Bluewave International as a minor programmer. My experience there was interesting and it was through that my desire to upgrade and expand my knowledge in programming.
The Skills that I have been able to aquire is a little programming and network installation and management from the cisco classes that I took in Strathmore University.
This website was the first one made as the name says.Through this website i was able to learn the basics of html. THe language that was used was html and css.
With the cookie Recipe website I was able to play with the tag elements and the colors in the css file. Languages used were html and css.
On My pets website i was able to play with various list which were the ordered and unordered list which was fun. Languages used were html and css.

Kundun A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1998 Marty Mapes
*** (out of 4) Martin Scorsese's films used to intimidate me. Because of his reputation, I felt obligated to appreciate them as deep film art rather than as great flicks. As much as I enjoyed them, I usually felt like I missed something.
I learned from Scorsese's CASINO that whatever techniques he uses are merely there to enhance the story. No mystical interpretation is required to appreciate his movies.
For example, in CASINO he uses subtitles when Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci are using code words with each other. There was no meaning more exotic than that subtitles were the most succinct way for him to tell the audience what was really going on. Or toward the end, when he uses three quick dissolves to compress a scene of a car backing away from a building. Again, the simple, mundane explanation is that it helped the pacing.
I don't mean to say that his techniques are not creative or good-looking. But he simply uses the best tool for the job.
It shouldn't have surprised me, then, that KUNDUN, a film about a mystical religion, actually turned out to be quite straightforward.
The movie follows the life of the 14th Dalai Lama, the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. The movie's title is another name for the Dalai Lama which means "Ocean of Wisdom." His story is told in strict chronological order and there are only a few cinematic visions to embellish the literal story. (One of which makes an interesting statement: pay attention to the film's opening shot and watch where it is repeated.)
We first glimpse the Dalai Lama when he is two years old. His curiosity and self-assuredness capture the attention of a monk wandering in search of the new Lama.
A test is arranged to see if this boy really is the reincarnation of the 13 Dalai Lamas who have gone before. Several items belonging to the previous Dalai Lama are laid before the boy alongside some other items. The child is asked if he recognizes any of the items as his own. The boy picks correctly, proving that he is the new, and the old, Dalai Lama.
Scorsese and long-time editor Thelma Schoonmaker were kind enough to allow the possibility that the child was taking his cues from the monk. Before selecting an item, he would look at the monk, perhaps for some sort of confirmation. Sometimes he picked right the first time, and sometimes he made a second choice. Either way, whether through reincarnation or quick human perception, the Tibetans were assured of choosing a boy who could be a wise, perceptive leader.
>From this point on, the boy is raised as the reincarnation of the Lama's spirit and the future leader of a nation. It is a great weight to put on the mind of a child. In the U.S. it might be grounds for a call to Social Services. But the young Lama accepts his destiny without any apparent emotional damage. Neither the great power nor the awesome responsibility keeps him from becoming a genuinely likeable, well-rounded person.
Certain patterns take shape over the years. For example, the Dalai Lama is fascinated by technology. Radios, clocks, and telescopes are some of his favorite toys. When he is old enough to accept his leadership, he makes plans to modernize isolated Tibet.
He also has a soft spot for creatures who are suffering or in pain, including herd animals. It's nearly a running gag that he will buy sheep to keep them from being herded to slaughter.
But the most ominous constant throughout his life is the presence and threat of Tibet's gigantic neighbor, China. Tibet and its leaders prove correct in fearing China, as, first the propaganda, then the political pressure, and finally the armies, come across their common border.
The Chinese invasion is so successful that the Lama's life is in danger if he stays. The movie ends when, after much agonizing, the Dalai Lama leaves Tibet for India.
The story doesn't lead up to a cinematic climax as strongly as most feature films do. It just doesn't fit that mold. If it were forced into such a shape it would have been a completely different movie (perhaps more like SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, which is good in its own right).
The pacing of KUNDUN is more calm and level than that. The structure of the film is made to fit the characters and events, not vice-versa. Perhaps because the pace is slower, we have more time to notice the beautiful art, vestments, and architecture of Tibet.
A mandala, (Tibetan sand painting) with beautiful, vibrant colors is shown throughout the movie. The robes and hats of state are bright red and gold. The bricks are a rich reddish brown, not unlike the skin tone of the Tibetans. Even the Touchstone pictures logo before the movie (which is usually light blue) is the red and gold of Tibet.
Philip Glass composed the music for KUNDUN, and he was the perfect choice. For those who don't know of Glass, his music is like a Tibetan mandala. His building blocks are lots of small notes, tiny grains of music, which are first grouped, then repeated in patterns. These patterns create interesting textures which are themselves part of a larger composition.
People won't be flocking to KUNDUN for it's great ending, or talking about its outstanding plot, but it does have a lot to offer: an interesting lifetime, exotic sights, rich cinematography, and innovative music. It gives interesting insight into Tibetan Buddhism and takes a warm look at the Dalai Lama as a person.
On top of it all is the cinematic mastery of Martin Scorsese, who gives the film a strong, beautiful, consistent look.

Does your business require thousands of photoshoots with models? Want to minimise the cost of it to a fraction? Then fill in this small form and be a part of the AI Revolution.
How it works?
A basic price for a photo ranges from 1250 to 15000 and even cost higher depending on the brand, photographer, model. On the contrary we are offer photos at a price as cheap as INR 50. A typical photoshoot is time restrictive hence only a limited number of shots with certain clothing articles are possible.
We offer a complete 3D model and an array of poses which can then be selected from at no additional cost apart from the wide array of angle shots that are already available in the 3D model.
How the pricing works?
Our main customers are lifestyle and fashion retailers who require images to connect and target their customer base or to showcase their products. But an estimated cost for getting a image of a model is from INR 5000 - INR 15000.
Following are the factors that affect the price of the image from PIX
- Levels of customisation
- Resolution of images
- Editable Files for further usage
- Subscription Basis

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the licensing works?
Yes, absolutely. The reviewer would sign an agreement which will legally forbid him/her from using your creation.
-
Do you have a subscription model?
You will receive all the information there is available with us, which will include the number of books they've read, their favourite authors, and few paragraphs worth of their opinion on best and worst of books they've read.
-
Is the model completely indistinguishable from a real human model?
You would be asked to pay only after the reviewer has generated a review. Thus, ensuring that the end-deal on both sides is met.
-
How many filters can I specify for the model?
Fill in the reader form given above. You'd be asked a few questions about your reading habits. Our team will take a look at it and intimate you, whether you are selected or not. After selection, you'd receive regular updates about reviewing opportunities.

{% extends "parents/base_sort.html" %} {% block js %} {% endblock %} {% block title %} Gnome Sort {% endblock %} {% block info %}
Gnome Sort is a sorting algorithm really similar to Insertion sort. Gnome Sort is based on dividing the data structure in two sublists: a sorted one, and an unsorted one. For every cycle, the algorithm picks an element of the unsorted sublist and moves it with sequential swaps to the right position in the sorted sublist.
The main difference from the Insertion Sort is that the implementation doesn't require nested loops. Like the Insertion Sort, this algorithm is more efficient on small data structures almost sorted.

Is This Idea For Me?
I spend a lot of time with friends thinking through and coming up with ideas for new products / services. A lot of the ones I come up with are garbage, but once in a while I’ll hit one that seems promising.
When I find one of these, before I run off to start mocking something up, here’s a quick framework that I use to determine whether I should pursue the idea further or not.
1. How passionate am I about this space?
I’m a strong believer that you have to love whatever you’re doing in order to be the best at it. You have to constantly be thinking about the problem you’re trying to solve in order to find the answer. You have to keep trying new ideas, failing, and then trying again.
Without deep passion for whatever you’re doing, it’s likely the constant failure will wear on you and cause you to give up. So the first thing is always to look at yourself and make sure this is a space you really love.
2. Am I the right person to solve this?
When starting up, it’s not just about solving the right problem. You have to be the right person to solve it. Ideas are great, but execution is the real key. Lots of people can see opportunity. But only a handful can actually execute against it.
A lot of times this means somebody who is really well versed in the problem or that particular space. This way they’ll more likely have developed a unique perspective, have a network of customers / partners / employees, and just have an easier time getting the right product to the right people quickly.
But it doesn’t have to be. Ultimately, it’s about having a unique and deep insight into the future. And then being able to quickly build, distribute, support, and grow your solution.
3. Why is now the right time?
Not only do I have to be the right person, it has to be the right time to solve this problem. Something has to have changed, shfited or emerged in order to provide an opportunity to solve this problem where we couldn’t before. Whether it’s a new technology, behavior, pattern, etc.
A suitable answer here would be – now is a great time to build a tool to easily allow app develoeprs to incorporate mobile payments into their software because of smartphone proliferation, rising consumer time spent on smartphones, and changing consumer behavior in regards to shopping. A not so great answer would be – I just figured this out and so now is the time to do it.
4. Would I mind working with these people (users / customers) all day, everyday?
You can always control who you hire, but you can’t control the type of users / customers that you have to deal with. And so you absolutely have to be able to work, hang out, and live with the people you’re building a solution for.
I once tried to start something similar to StyleSeat. I was talking to my stylist while I was getting a haircut and she was explaining the industry to me. Everything she said just seemed absurd to me (stylists are individual contractors, they rent a chair from the store, have to bring their own tools, but use a centrally managed booking system, etc). The stylist was their own business, but the tools were built for the store, who was really a just real estate vendor.
So after my haircut I called a few other stylists, validated the problem, and started mocking up a solution. But after I got a few people interested and ready to try something out, I started lagging. I had trouble finding the motivation to keep cold calling stylists all day and to try and get them onto my solution.
After a few more weeks, I realized that this wasn’t the one. While I was still convinced it was a good idea, I wasn’t the right person to do this. I had never really cared about hair as a consumer, and wasn’t deeply invested in this space or this problem. I didn’t connect very well with stylists as I was a complete outsider to their world (I was a random dude trying to sell software to a bunch of women).
So I set this one down. And then a year or so later, I found StyleSeat, and Melody seemed to have all of the right traits. And so that’s why she now has a great business and I’m here writing a blog post :).

The procedures described in this man page are used to create, modify, index, and iterate over dictionary objects from C code.
Tcl_NewDictObj creates a new, empty dictionary object. The string representation of the object will be invalid, and the reference count of the object will be zero.
Tcl_DictObjGet looks up the given key within the given dictionary and writes a pointer to the value associated with that key into the variable pointed to by valuePtrPtr, or a NULL if the key has no mapping within the dictionary. The result of this procedure is TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the dictPtr cannot be converted to a dictionary.
Tcl_DictObjPut updates the given dictionary so that the given key maps to the given value; any key may exist at most once in any particular dictionary. The dictionary must not be shared, but the key and value may be. This procedure may increase the reference count of both key and value if it proves necessary to store them. Neither key nor value should be NULL. The result of this procedure is TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the dictPtr cannot be converted to a dictionary.
Tcl_DictObjRemove updates the given dictionary so that the given key has no mapping to any value. The dictionary must not be shared, but the key may be. The key actually stored in the dictionary will have its reference count decremented if it was present. It is not an error if the key did not previously exist. The result of this procedure is TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the dictPtr cannot be converted to a dictionary.
Tcl_DictObjSize updates the given variable with the number of key/value pairs currently in the given dictionary. The result of this procedure is TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the dictPtr cannot be converted to a dictionary.
Tcl_DictObjFirst commences an iteration across all the key/value pairs in the given dictionary, placing the key and value in the variables pointed to by the keyPtrPtr and valuePtrPtr arguments (which may be NULL to indicate that the caller is uninterested in they key or variable respectively.) The next key/value pair in the dictionary may be retrieved with Tcl_DictObjNext. Concurrent updates of the dictionary's internal representation will not modify the iteration processing unless the dictionary is unshared, when this will trigger premature termination of the iteration instead (which Tcl scripts cannot trigger via the dict command.) The searchPtr argument points to a piece of context that is used to identify which particular iteration is being performed, and is initialized by the call to Tcl_DictObjFirst. The donePtr argument points to a variable that is updated to be zero of there are further key/value pairs to be iterated over, or non-zero if the iteration is complete. The order of iteration is implementation-defined. If the dictPtr argument cannot be converted to a dictionary, Tcl_DictObjFirst returns TCL_ERROR and the iteration is not commenced, and otherwise it returns TCL_OK.
When Tcl_DictObjFirst is called upon a dictionary, a lock is placed on the dictionary to enable that dictionary to be iterated over safely without regard for whether the dictionary is modified during the iteration. Because of this, once the iteration over a dictionary's keys has finished (whether because all values have been iterated over as indicated by the variable indicated by the donePtr argument being set to one, or because no further values are required) the Tcl_DictObjDone function must be called with the same searchPtr as was passed to Tcl_DictObjFirst so that the internal locks can be released. Once a particular searchPtr is passed to Tcl_DictObjDone, passing it to Tcl_DictObjNext (without first initializing it with Tcl_DictObjFirst) will result in no values being produced and the variable pointed to by donePtr being set to one. It is safe to call Tcl_DictObjDone multiple times on the same searchPtr for each call to Tcl_DictObjFirst.
The procedures Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList and Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList are the close analogues of Tcl_DictObjPut and Tcl_DictObjRemove respectively, except that instead of working with a single dictionary, they are designed to operate on a nested tree of dictionaries, with inner dictionaries stored as values inside outer dictionaries. The keyc and keyv arguments specify a list of keys (with outermost keys first) that acts as a path to the key/value pair to be affected. Note that there is no corresponding operation for reading a value for a path as this is easy to construct from repeated use of Tcl_DictObjGet. With Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList, nested dictionaries are created for non-terminal keys where they do not already exist. With Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList, all non-terminal keys must exist and have dictionaries as their values.
Tcl_DictSearch search; Tcl_Obj *key, *value; int done; /* * Assume interp and objPtr are parameters. This is the * idiomatic way to start an iteration over the dictionary; it * sets a lock on the internal representation that ensures that * there are no concurrent modification issues when normal * reference count management is also used. The lock is * released automatically when the loop is finished, but must * be released manually when an exceptional exit from the loop * is performed. However it is safe to try to release the lock * even if we've finished iterating over the loop. */ if (Tcl_DictObjFirst(interp, objPtr, &search, &key, &value, &done) != TCL_OK) { return TCL_ERROR; } for (; !done ; Tcl_DictObjNext(&search, &key, &value, &done)) { /* * Note that strcmp() is not a good way of comparing * objects and is just used here for demonstration * purposes. */ if (!strcmp(Tcl_GetString(key), Tcl_GetString(value))) { break; } } Tcl_DictObjDone(&search); Tcl_SetObjResult(interp, Tcl_NewBooleanObj(!done)); return TCL_OK;

In the picture, the actress can be seen giving different poses in an all black attire, which is looking simply amazing on her. Further, her expressions and poses are making her look both sizzling and cute at the same time.
Check out the picture here to know for yourself:
Meanwhile on the work front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for the release of her second Hindi movie ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’. Slated to release on December 6, the movie also stars Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar.


McDonald's chips will be free this Friday for one day only - how to get yours
This Friday McDonald’s UK will be giving away a free portion of Medium Fries through the My McDonald’s App - and absolutely everyone can get it
by Molly Holt, https://www.facebook.com/mollyjaholt/When I was younger I heard a rumour that McDonald's buy every single potato from their chosen variety, and that's why nobody else can make chips that taste as good.
But while that may be an urban myth, the latest fries-related news regarding the fast food chain isn't, as McDonald's has just announced that this Friday, it will be giving away free fries.
In a one-off generous giveaway, McDonald's has decided that on Friday 22 November, medium portions of the brand's famous chips will be completely free via the McDonald's app.
Each customer can claim one pack each, with no purchase necessary, but rather than heading up to the counter or self-serve screens like normal, to get the freebie, you'll need to make sure you place your order via the McDonald's app.
The offer is available to all new and existing McDonald's app customers, in selected branches. We've got the full list of all the 26 branches that aren't participating below.
PLEASE NOTE: The McDonald's website previously included an incorrect list of restaurants that won't be offering the free fries on Friday. There's actually only 26 branches that won't be included in the giveaway. Please see the full correct list below.
As usual, to complete registration, new users must go into the restaurant for their first order – otherwise this offer works for click and collect, through the Drive Thru and from this week, for orders placed and delivered directly to your table thanks to the nationwide introduction of Table Markers.
Table Markers, as the name suggests, means that customers can find a table, order through their phone and have their food delivered straight to where they’re sat.
Sadly, the promotion is not available at the following 26 restaurants:
1. Croydon
2. Walworth Rd
3. Bham Dale End
4. Lincoln
5. Ashton-Under-Lyne
6. Lowestoft

Example 4 - on the cluster¶
This example shows how to run HpBandster in a cluster environment. The actual python code does differ substantially from example 3, except for a shared directory that is used to communicate the location of the nameserver to every worker, and the fact that the communication is done over the network instead of just the loop back interface.
To actually run it as a batch job, usually a shell script is required. Those differer slightly from scheduler to scheduler. Here we provide an example script for the Sun Grid Engine (SGE), but adapting that to any other scheduler should be easy. The script simply specifies the logging files for output (-o) and error -e), loads a virtual environment, and then executes the master for the first array task and a worker otherwise. Array jobs execute the same source multiple times and are bundled together into one job, where each task gets a unique task ID. For SGE those IDs are positive integers and we simply say the first task is the master.
# submit via qsub -t 1-4 -q test_core.q example_4_cluster_submit_me.sh
#$ -cwd
#$ -o $JOB_ID-$TASK_ID.o
#$ -e $JOB_ID-$TASK_ID.e
# enter the virtual environment
source ~sfalkner/virtualenvs/HpBandSter_tests/bin/activate
if [ $SGE_TASK_ID -eq 1]
then python3 example_4_cluster.py --run_id $JOB_ID --nic_name eth0 --working_dir .
else
python3 example_4_cluster.py --run_id $JOB_ID --nic_name eth0 --working_dir . --worker
fi
You can simply copy the above code into a file, say submit_me.sh, and tell SGE to run it via:
qsub -t 1-4 -q your_queue_name submit_me.sh
Now to the actual python source:

pickle.dump(res, fh)
# Step 4: Shutdown
# After the optimizer run, we must shutdown the master and the nameserver.
bohb.shutdown(shutdown_workers=True)
NS.shutdown()
Total running time of the script: ( 0 minutes 0.000 seconds)


To print in Makerbot, as a design rule, you must use Fusion 360 to create your design. The size of the object being printed must be smaller than the platform. Small intricate designs will also not work well because the machine can not pick up the small details. Ink cartriges need to be refilled as well.
For my second project, I put my head on a pedestal. First, Sarah scanned my head. The scan went to my computer and I combined the scan with a pedestal that I downloaded. I downloaded the combination on a flash drive and walked it over to the printer and printed.

For my third project, I printed a tag for my dog, Louis. I used Fusion 360 to create it.

Green Button is the common-sense idea that electricity customers should be able to securely download their own easy-to-understand energy usage information from their utility or electricity supplier. Armed with this information, consumers can use a growing array of new web and smartphone tools to make more informed energy decisions, optimize the size and cost-effectiveness of solar panels for their home, or verify that energy-efficiency retrofit investments are performing as promised. Consumers can even use fun innovative apps that allow individuals to compete against Facebook friends to save energy and lower their carbon emissions.
Green Button is an industry-led effort that responds to a White House call-to-action: provide electricity customers with easy access to their energy usage data in a consumer-friendly and computer-friendly format via a "Green Button" on electric utilities' website. Green Button is based on a common technical standard developed in collaboration with a public-private partnership supported by the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology. Voluntary adoption of a consensus standard by utilities across the Nation allows software developers and other entrepreneurs to leverage a sufficiently large market to support the creation of innovative applications that can help consumers make the most of their energy usage information.

Matthew Dowd, ABC analyst, vows to ‘be better’ after tweet
by Jessica ChasmarABC News chief political analyst Matthew Dowd apologized Wednesday after many interpreted his tweet criticizing Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik as sexist.
“Elise Stefanik is a perfect example of why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesn’t necessarily get you the leaders we need,” Mr. Dowd wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
The comment drew a flurry of angry responses accusing the chief analyst of sexism and political bias. Ms. Stefanik, a 35-year-old Harvard graduate from New York, said the tweet gave a prime example of why many women don’t run for public office.
Mr. Dowd later deleted the tweet and apologized, not for the tweet’s content but for the way it was “misconstrued.”
“I think people are misunderstand [sic] my tweet. So I will delete,” he wrote. “I am saying just saying we need more millennials or more women isn’t going to solve the problem of needing more leaders with integrity. Vote integrity no matter what.
“Hey @EliseStefanik I just want to apologize for a tweet that is being misinterpreted,” he continued. “I didn’t mean to suggest you were elected only because you were a woman or a millennial. I deleted the tweet.”
Mr. Dowd added that he has been “one of the biggest advocates” of women in politics but promised to “be better” with his wording moving forward.
“I was suggesting people that merely advocate for more women or more whatever group without also asking for other leadership qualities miss the point,” he wrote. “We need leaders with integrity. Women men people of color. Millennials. Etc.”
Ms. Stefanik responded by accepting Mr. Dowd’s apology, but added ABC News should be “ashamed” of what he wrote.
“Apology accepted @matthewjdowd,” she tweeted.  This is one of the reasons young women don’t run for office.”
She later reacted with glee after being reminded by a Twitter follower that she helped provide research for a book Mr. Dowd co-authored during her Harvard days.
“Hahahhah OMG Thank you for reminding me of this!” the congresswoman replied. “I had forgotten that Dowd was involved.”

The llvm-ranlib command is similar to the common Unix utility, ranlib
. It
adds or updates the symbol table in an LLVM archive file. Note that using the
llvm-ar modifier s is usually more efficient than running llvm-ranlib
which is only provided only for completness and compatibility. Unlike other
implementations of ranlib
, llvm-ranlib indexes LLVM bitcode files, not
native object modules. You can list the contents of the symbol table with the
llvm-nm -s
command.
Specifies the archive-file to which the symbol table is added or updated.
Print the version of llvm-ranlib and exit without building a symbol table.
Print usage help for llvm-ranlib and exit without building a symbol table.
If llvm-ranlib succeeds, it will exit with 0. If an error occurs, a non-zero exit code will be returned.

Atto is a small and fast subset-of-Scheme interpreter, leveraging the power of DynASM. It is primarily developed as a diploma project at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology.
The language implements only a part of the R5RS, avoiding impure functions and features, and thus enabling lazy evaluation and memoization.
