Congruent shapes first grade9/18/2023 ![]() In geometry, similar triangles are important, and three theorems help mathematicians prove if triangles are similar or congruent. But not all similar shapes have congruency. So, are congruent figures similar? Technically, yes, all congruent figures are also similar shapes. Dilating one of two congruent shapes creates similar figures, but it prevents congruency.įigures are similar if they are the same shape the ratios and length of their corresponding sides are equal. The shapes still have congruent angles, but the line segments that make up the card are now different lengths, so the two shapes are no longer congruent. If we enlarge or shrink the Queen, it is still the same shape, but they are now different sizes. Learn more about the different transformations in geometry. Reflect a congruent figure (turn it to a mirror image), and it is still congruent. Slide the card around the table, and our Queen is still congruent with the other playing card. Rotate the Queen of Spades, and she is still the Queen. In transformation geometry, we can manipulate shapes in four ways:įor the first three ways, congruent figures stay congruent. Congruent definition - Geometry congruency Transformations in geometry Whether you have just two figures or a whole chessboard of congruent squares, they are all congruent. Congruent figures, like these two squares have congruency. The word "congruent" is an adjective, and it describes two objects where their corresponding parts are identical. Congruent figures definition Congruent definition in geometry Rotation does not interfere with congruency. They are still congruent, even though one is rotated. In geometry, we do not worry about color we pay attention only to size and shape. The cards are rectangles with congruent sides and congruent interior angles. The two cards are congruent, meaning they are identical in size and shape. If we returned them to the decks, would we know which card was from which deck? No. Everything about these cards is the same: Suppose you have two playing cards from two different decks, both Queens of Spades.

Understanding the linux kernel9/18/2023 ![]() You'll learn what conditions bring out Linux's best performance, and you'll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments. The book focuses on the following topics: Memory management, including file buffering, process swapping, and Direct memory Access (DMA) The Virtual Filesystem layer and the Second and Third Extended Filesystems Process creation and scheduling Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers Timing Synchronization within the kernel Interprocess Communication (IPC) Program execution Understanding the Linux Kernel will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but it's more than just an academic exercise. This edition of the book covers Version 2.6, which has seen significant changes to nearly every kernel subsystem, particularly in the areas of memory management and block devices. But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. The third edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn't kept waiting any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks. The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order. Then you can skip a lot of largely extraneous stuff and have a solid understanding of how the hardware works.In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel. I think this kind of project is well suited to a guide on how to build a computer from the ground up, starting with logic gates, writing a real time OS and developing a scripting language that will run and compile on it. Gets more tricky dealing with interconnecting microprocessors because a good chunk is vendor specific. The physics is fairly simple, at least from a CRT or LED display perspective. It starts with relays and builds them up into gates and usable arithmetic blocks. Linux.Ĭode, by Petzold, deals with logic and computers from the ground up. look at Understanding the Linux kernel for a good understanding of how an OS is put together, with specific examples i.e. It deals with what happens when you run code, how the architecture of the computer works (by and large) including at the logic level: Some resources on making tiny Hello World programs down to the kernel level that may be useful:Ī wee bit heavy, but it's comprehensive.

Wipe canvas clean in r9/18/2023 ![]() context.reset() īasically, it has the same effects as canvas.width += 0, except that it's more idiomatic. reset() method which will not only clear the canvas buffer but also completely reset all the properties of the context (styles etc.), reset its transformation matrix, clear its current sub-path, clear its states stack (the one controlled by save() and restore()), and remove all the clipping regions. This is the reason why the accepted answer did not solve my problem and I ended up wasting hours trying different hacks. Though beginPath is only to be used while drawing lines and not closed path like rect(). Actually, clearRect() is considered as the single line solution because most users do beginPath() before drawing any new path. I was wondering why a native solution does not exist.

As the size of your canvas increases this difference drops.

Reset the transformation matrix prior to clearing the canvas: // Store the current transformation matrix using scale, rotate, or translate) then context.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height) will likely not clear the entire visible portion of the canvas. If you have modified the transformation matrix (e.g. transformations, lineWidth, strokeStyle, etc.), it is very slow (compared to clearRect), it doesn't work in all browsers, and it doesn't describe what you are actually trying to do. Resetting canvas.width resets all canvas state (e.g. This is the fastest and most descriptive way to clear the entire canvas. Use: context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)

My spotify stats song play count9/18/2023 ![]() Too late for 2019 Wrapped and too early for 2020 Wrapped, so RHCP didn’t appear on my Spotify lists at all. In November and December of 2019, I listened to a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers, according to Last.fm. Your top artists and songs were almost identical anyway. With over 9M+ users worldwide, 94M+ stats about tracks, 14M+ albums, and 6M+ artists, gain insights with stats.fm into your most listened to songs and. Right now you may be thinking, okay big deal. I’m sure there are perfectly reasonable answers to these questions, I just don’t know what they are. But then why do it at the beginning of December? Why not make it a New Year’s tradition? Also, why does it take 2 months to prepare data that Last.fm tracks in real time? I can go there any day of the year and get an up to date report of my listening history for any date range I want. And of course any listening that happens after the Year Wrapped is released won’t count. If a song appears on multiple releases, it counts toward the stream. Spotify has to prepare the data and create the slideshow. According to Spotify, a stream is counted when you listen to a song for 30 seconds or more. It also makes sense that there’s a cutoff date. The songs you’ve been listening to lately, those in most recent memory, aren’t considered at all. Now we can see why people are sometimes surprised by Spotify’s top picks. In other words, the songs you play in November and December are not counted in your Year Wrapped stats. This gives our teams enough time to assemble everything.

Prerequisitesįor this tutorial, here are the prerequisites and assumptions: In this tutorial, we will go over how to debug Python using VSCode’s built-in debugging tools to help us figure out and pinpoint where our errors are originating. When we need to debug Python, it’s usually because something is not working as expected. To debug means to walk through the program step-by-step to figure out the origins of an error. Debugging Python in VSCode - step by step guideĭebugging is a staple requirement of every programming job. Here is a guide on using VSCode to help you debug your Python code. While knowing how to code in Python is a great skill to have, knowing how to debug Python to figure out what’s wrong with your code is equally important. In addition, TechRepublic reports Python as one of the most in-demand and employable skill sets from 2021 onwards. The open-source language also has an estimated market value of over $10 billion. According to Statista, Python claimed the top spot for the most popular programming language in early March 2020. Python is easy to learn for beginners because of its high readability and simple syntax construction. It is also popular for scientific computing and data analysis, as it has many libraries and tools for these tasks. It is a general-purpose programming language employed in software development, scripting, and automation. Python is a programming language permeating every industry due to its versatility and large developer community. Major companies and institutions such as IBM, Pixar, Facebook, Spotify, and NASA also use Python. Python is also used extensively throughout Netflix’s back-end infrastructure, from system administration tools to deployment scripts. Netflix, for example, is one of the largest online streaming services in the world and relies heavily on Python for its content management system and recommendation engine. Python is also popular among developers working on cloud-based applications, as they can use it to orchestrate complex workflows. Python’s popularity can be attributed to its ease of use and readability and the large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks built around it. 6.Python has become one of the most popular programming languages globally and is particularly popular in data science and artificial intelligence. Hence, we used the -c option to print a summary of the system calls at the termination of strace. Note that, the strace command generates output for every system call. Additionally, we also used the -f option to attach to all its child processes. Here we used the option -p to attach to the process id (372) i.e. ![]() % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall In such cases, we can use the strace command to trace the Linux system calls in progress: $ sudo strace -c -fp 372 Sometimes we may want to have a closer look at the operations performed by our processes. Hence, we’re able to realize that the script is waiting for the child processes ( sleep) to complete. We used an additional option -p to print the process ids along with the process names. In effect, prior to the execution of every command in the script, the values of variables get printed. Subsequently, we passed this echo statement to the trap command with the DEBUG signal. In this example, we specified the echo command to print the values of variables five_val, two_val, and total. Let’s illustrate this with an example: #! /bin/bash The command specified in the arguments of trap command is executed before each subsequent statement in the script. We can utilize the DEBUG trap feature of Bash to execute a command repetitively. Although, the first few lines, until FD 5 is assigned to debug output were printed. debug_logging.shĪs expected, the debug output is not written on the terminal. ![]() In effect, Bash will now write the xtrace output on FD5 i.e. Later, we assigned the FD 5 to Bash variable BASH_XTRACEFD. To achieve this, we used another special shell variable LINENO. ![]() We changed the value of the PS4 variable to display line numbers in the debug prompt. The PS4 variable defines the prompt that gets displayed when we execute a shell script in xtrace mode. Then we changed the special shell variable PS4. Let’s create another script to check it: #! /bin/bashįirst, we opened the debug.log file on File Descriptor (FD) 5 for writing using the exec command. Consequently, we could restrict the amount of output on stdout.įurthermore, we can redirect the debug information to another file and let the script output print on stdout. In the previous section, we examined how we can restrict debugging to only certain parts of the script.
